it is once again going to feel pretty warm. i will have all of the details very shortly. it's sunday the fifth of may. good morning to you. our main story: the conservatives have suffered a significant defeat in the west midlands after losing the region's mayoral election to labour. in the closely fought race, andy street, who was seeking a third term in office, lost out to richard parker, by a margin ofjust over 1500 votes. the result had been seen as pivotal for rishi sunakfollowing one of his party's worst ever performances in this week's local elections. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. parker, richard — labour and co—operative party, 225590. it was a result that will send a shudder through conservatives. street, andrew, the conservative
6:02 am
party candidate, 224082. labour victorious in the west midland mayoral race by 1508 votes — a tiny margin in a region of 2 million people. one of the conservatives�* high—profile metro mayors andy street toppled. the labour leader was there to celebrate. the message here — the last elections now, the last stop before we go into that general election — is the country wants change. i hope the prime minister is listening and gives the opportunity to the country to vote as a whole in a general election as soon as possible. mr street said that conservatives should not respond to defeat by shifting further right but follow his moderate policies. the famous words, "i did it my way" and it was always going to be like that and, in the end, it wasn't quite enough but i tell you what, it was bloody close — pardon my language — and no—one expected that. to be clear, do you want rishi sunak to lead the conservatives in the next election? yes, it would be complete madness to have another

moment of introspection. in total, labour won 10 of the ii mayoral races, including london — a third term for sadiq khan. labour also topped the results in the english local council elections, getting more than 180 seats. the lib dems captured over 100 and they are second—place in the total seats won. that pushed the conservatives, who lost more than a70 councillors, into third place — a dire set of results for them and with andy street's loss, deprived of a final consolation. damian grammaticas, bbc news. 0ur political reporter simon gilbert is in birmingham this morning. blimey. it was close, wasn't it? was this the way everyone expected it to fall? ~ ., �* , this the way everyone expected it to fall? . ., �* , ., this the way everyone expected it to fall? ~ ., �*, ., ., ., this the way everyone expected it to fall? ~ . �*, ., , ., fall? well, that's a good question. it was one — fall? well, that's a good question. it was one of— fall? well, that's a good question. it was one of those _ fall? well, that's a good question. it was one of those things - fall? well, that's a good question. it was one of those things where l fall? well, that's a good question. l it was one of those things where you would look at the national polling and the local council results and even here in the west midlands and you would think surely it's a
6:04 am
foregone conclusion, they were not going to wipe the floor with anti— street and it didn't play out like that and if you were here you would know it was public going to be the case. yes, anti— street is a conservative politician and yes conservatives are not doing particularly well nationally at the moment but anti— street is a very good campaigner and he does have a good campaigner and he does have a good brand here locally and people recognise his name, not always something that happens with local politicians. so labour had a mountain to climb and actually, the labour mountain was made a bit steeper by the fact it was an independent candidate standing here independent candidate standing here in the west midlands, it meant ——he stood on issues around gaza and the middle east and elsewhere in the country, it resonated with a lot of people who normally would have voted labour, you would have assumed, and he would vote 70,000 votes and pole deferred so that's an issue for labour locally, something that sure they will be mindful of and keeping an eye on as they head into a possible general election but ultimately, they did overcome the
6:05 am
mountain, narrowly, it said, 1.5 thousand, a big old region the west midlands were not huge number when you put it into context but anti— street for his part was very, very disappointed on the night. —— anti— street. you could tell he cared passionately about the role and it will be interesting to see where he ends up next. it will be interesting to see where he ends up next-— will be interesting to see where he ends up next. it will indeed. simon with the latest — ends up next. it will indeed. simon with the latest from _ ends up next. it will indeed. simon with the latest from birmingham, | with the latest from birmingham, thank you. all but one of the results in this week's local elections in england have now been returned. labour are up with eight more councils coming under their overall control. it's a very different picture for the conservatives — they've lost control of 10 councils, dropping almost half of all the seats they were defending. the liberal democrats havejumped above the conservatives, with wins in places like dorset and tunbridge wells. 0ur political correspondent hannah miller is in downing street.

6:07 am
therefore going to do that makes a huge change now. there is pressure to offer something to those voters who chose the reform party instead. the prime minister's biggest critics, suella braverman this morning used the opportunity to call for big and bold tax cuts, saying that she wants to see the boats stopped, improvements to the nhs and again, things with her before. as for the labour party, they of course, a hugely emboldened by this. while these were local elections, show the people to some extent are comfortable with the leader and comfortable with the leader and comfortable with the leader and comfortable with voting for the party and they know that they have a task in terms of rebuilding trust with the muslim community but they will be looking ahead to the next general election now, feeling much more confident than rishi sunak. thank you very much. you can see more analysis, including the results in your area, on the bbc news website and app. just type in your postcode. more

some showers in devon as the day goes on because showers are in the forecast today with some of those on the heavy side but fairly well scattered and the many parts of england and wales, at least there will be some sunny spells and it will be some sunny spells and it will feel quite warm in the sunshine as well. looking at things through this morning and you can see though showers coming into devon and cornwall, drifting further north but into south wales, the south east of england also having a few showers into the afternoon and further north, it will be cloudy across parts of scotland and northern ireland but in between the showers in the southwest there will be sunny spells and some sunshine in this central swathe of england and wales. more cloud as i said further north and east and thunderstorms perhaps in aberdeenshire today. north—west scotland, some sunny spells. maximums, the highest about 18 or 19 where you've got the best of the sunshine in parts of north wales, the midlands, eastern england, and it's also consequently where you
6:15 am
will have the highest pollen levels today, so if you do sufferfrom hay fever, they will be high, medium elsewhere. 0r moderate, elsewhere, i should say. doing through tonight, still some heavy showers across the northeast of scotland, a few showery outbreaks of rain moving its way into north east england. later in the night, keep a close eye on this area of rain moving out of english channel but overnight temperatures about eight or nine celsius and it's that area in the southeast with this area of low pressure so you could see heavy showers in the southeast corner throughout bank holiday monday, so watch out for some thunderstorms developing here. elsewhere, across england and wales, lots of dry weather actually about on monday but a scattering of showers breaking out into the afternoon across some of the central areas. there will be some sunny spells and will or two showers across scotland through the afternoon, maximum temperatures on monday up to about 14—17, so slightly lower than today's values.
6:16 am
through the rest of the week, things should start to come down a bit because we have this area of high pressure that will move in and there will be some weather fronts just coming over the top of that and they could make progress into parts of scotland and northern ireland so perhaps a bit cloudy here with some outbreaks of rain but on the whole on tuesday, plenty of dry weather around again. most, it will be dry, sunny spells developing as well and temperatures creeping up a bit across southern areas, 18 or 19. 12—15 further north on tuesday. as we go through the rest of the week, the area of high pressure sticks around really, so it's going to be largely dry for most of england and wales. some sunny spells. the temperatures will get up into the high teens to low 20s and look at cardiff and london, 20, 21. further north, for those weather fronts just going over the top of the area of high pressure, you may see more cloud than some outbreaks of rain
6:17 am
and temperatures more like 16—17. let's take a look at today's papers, where most of the front pages let's take a look at today's papers, where most of the front pages are reflecting on the result of the west midlands mayoral election. the sunday times says the former conservative mayor andy street has become "the most high—profile casualty of sir keir starmer�*s "march to number 10", after losing his seat to labour. today's 0bserver reports that the labour leader is demanding prime minister rishi sunak call a general election. writing for the paper, sir keir starmer says he must release the country from the "purgatory" of his "zombie government". and — "we're doomed!" — is the headline in the sunday express. the paper says the conservative party is "in panic",

6:36 am
hello from new york. i'm tom brook, and welcome to talking movies as we look at hollywood's forthcoming summer movie season. mad max is one of my top on the list. deadpool 3. i am excited to see that. the deadpool movies are really funny and i like to see a movie _ that's funny with other people, so we can all laugh together. l mr president, do you regret the use of air strikes against american citizens? and talking movies will also be reporting on the dystopian action film civil war — a movie following us journalists in the midst of civil disorder. an early—in—the—season big hit, critically praised, but not everyone liked it. i don't think it's a very revealing, revelatory or deep examination of the practice ofjournalism. also, diversity in the film industry — how much progress is being made? in some areas, concerns that representation is getting worse.
6:37 am
only 30 films out of 100 featured a female lead or co—lead. last year, it was at 44%, so there's been a shift down. plus, how film fans are exploring new ways of watching movies in small spaces called micro—cinemas. you really don't need more than folding chairs, a projector and a white wall. hollywood's summer movie season is less clearly defined than it used to be but, certainly, the time between now and the beginning of september is vitally important to the film industry. last year, those weeks generated more than $4 billion in revenues for the studios. so, what is hollywood going to do this year to bring out moviegoers in the summer months? well, we've been finding out. plenty of viewing options on offer to movie lovers during hollywood's summer movie season. hi, peanut. i'm going to need you to come with me right now.
6:38 am
one of the most hotly anticipated offerings is deadpool & wolverine, starring ryan reynolds and huthackman. it brings deadpool into the marvel cinematic universe. it is marvel�*s only movie of 2024. wait! superhero films are losing their potency but deadpool 3 is expected to be a triumph. if i were in a box office pool, i'd put deadpool 3 as my number one pick. i think that's the most likely billion—dollar movie this summer. your little cinematic universe is about to change forever. the marvel movies aren't quite the box office performers that they have been over the past 15 years. is that supposed to be scary? but deadpool has always kind of existed in a side part of the superhero world and i think people like it for that, because the language is worse. like a prayer by madonna plays.
6:39 am
the violence is more extreme and i think ryan reynolds is just a sort of popular star for a lot of folks. # they tried to make me go to rehab and i said...# - there is some variety at the summer box office. a music film — a new amy winehouse biographical drama, back to black. # no, no, no...# and there are some grand, sweeping spectacles coming up, generating excitement. what you build, they will burn down. among them, kevin costner�*s western, horizon: an american saga, in two parts. i want these movies to succeed so desperately, just because i love the idea of a big ego—driven star project. and i also love the idea of, like, a big sweeping western movie to, like, bring all those audiences out. i would love to see that. but what really defines the summer of 2024 is brand familiarity, with so many franchise films and sequels. coming up — kingdom of the planet of the apes, inside out 2... ah—ha!
6:40 am
..despicable me 4... spluttering ..and horror offerings, including a quiet place: day one and alien: romulus. where is the originality? i think that we're just in this time where it feels like everyone is waiting to find out where the new direction is. a lot of the old giant franchises — your fast and furiouses, you know, marvel mcu — all of those seem to be kind of at the end of their era and maybe in need of rebooting orjust taking a break. it doesn't seem like any of the studios know what the next big thing is, but they also — no—one wants to be the one to take the lead. there is anxiety in the industry and questions over what kinds of films to make. creative minds, like british author and screenwriter neil gaiman, has his own thoughts about what he would do if he was a studio executive. i would probably try and greenlight
6:41 am
a lot of lower—budget films. i would look at the fact that genre films, traditionally — things like horror, things like humour, things like cheap science fiction — have always done well. and when they work, they can make you a lot of money, and that pays for an awful lot of thoughtful and originalfilms. indeed, these are head—scratching, challenging times for the industry. last year's writers' and actors' strikes has meant there's a shortage of films in the pipeline for hollywood summer movie season and with no sign of a barbenheimer miracle on the horizon, it doesn't look like the studios will be breaking many records or bringing us a host of original creative wonders at the summer box office. arriving in cinemas just before the start of hollywood's summer movie season was the picture civil war. set here in the us in the near future, it presents us with a world
6:42 am
where the states of california and texas have broken away from the union and have their own military forces trying to topple the federal government. 19 states have seceded. the united states army ramps up activity... the movie civil war presents a nightmarish vision of the united states. the country has disintegrated. the film has the form of a road movie, and there are many harrowing moments. there's some kind of misunderstanding here. look, we're american, ok? 0k. what kind of american are you? at the heart of all the action is a veteran war photographer caught up in the mayhem, played by actor kirsten dunst. she claims what director alex garland was aiming for in this production was realism. it was very immersive, kind of almost like a documentary, the way the cameras interacted with all the actors and so, he wanted the movie to feel as real as possible. this film isn'tjust designed
6:43 am
to give audiences a taste of civil war and its horrors — screenwriter and director alex garland hopes it will do more than that. it is an anti—war movie, but it's really got two other focuses. one is political and the other is about journalism. it's a story aboutjournalists and journalism, why we need them and what they do. but it's also asking a question, which is why is good journalism not getting the traction that it gets? what's gone wrong? and then, very similar sort of questions about sort of polarised populist politics as well, extremist politics. but no effort is made to explain the ideological forces that led to the civil war. the journalists who define the film's narrative don't mention their own political views or thoughts on why the country has descended into civil war. there is no political context to this action film. this is really an audience movie. it's not telling you what to think. it's not giving you sides. it's really about you, which i think is unique.
6:44 am
and alex garland's claim that this film is also aboutjournalists and why they are so valuable doesn't satisfy some who've seen the movie. what strikes me as a journalist is how badly film and television often portray what i do for a living, or how — a complete lack of understanding of whatjournalists do and how they are as people. and this film really falls squarely into that bracket, i'm afraid. i don't think it's a very revealing, revelatory, or deep examination of the practice ofjournalism and the people that populate the profession. despite these complaints, the film does have the power to unnerve. it's a presidential election year in america, highly partisan times, and still, in many voters' minds, is the violent storming of the us capitol building injanuary 2021 by supporters of donald trump, which gave americans a taste of civil disorder. this new film definitely touches a raw nerve. many of us have the fear
6:45 am
of losing america's liberty, america's democracy, to violent, violent militants. and with everyone armed, and so many guns loose, it's a plausible nightmare scenario to see this kind of violence. one nation... civil war generated very positive word of mouth when it was launched at the south x southwest film festival in texas in march, and it subsequently earned some strong reviews, and it impressively held the number one spot at the box office beyond its first weekend of release. god bless america. in recent times, efforts have been made to bring about greater diversity and inclusivity in the film industry, but questions linger over just how effective these endeavours have been. emma jones took stock of matters in the wake of the recent academy awards ceremony to find out just how much progress has been made.
6:46 am
emmajones: in the wake of the oscars, taking stock of hollywood's efforts to increase diversity. lily gladstone, becoming the first native american to be recognised with a best actress nomination was seen as a landmark. a recent study, looking at the highest—grossing hollywood films, found only 0.25% of speaking roles have gone to native american characters. what an extraordinary fact. at an industry event in hollywood for native american women, many felt their own careers might benefit from gladstone's success. she's holding the door open for all of us to follow in her footsteps. i'm hoping that this is a road, a path that we can open and be inclusive of all the tribes that haven't even been represented yet. we're just beginning. actress mary mcdonnell, oscar—nominated for kevin costner�*s film, dances with wolves, set amongst the lakota people in the 1860s, felt gladstone's new high profile in hollywood could also be a turning point
6:47 am
for native american storytelling. she has the ability to tell the whole story, while holding power inside a system that doesn't see her normally, and i think that the strength of that is part of what moves an entire culture forward. for many years, hollywood, and so by extension, the oscars, did not reflect the diversity of the real world around them. nearly a decade, though, after the hashtag #oscarssowhite and the metoo movement appeared, is real change finally upon us? there's no doubt the academy and hollywood has improved diversity in some areas. this year, six nominated actors were portraying the lives of lgbt+ individuals, and two of those nominees are gay. congratulations! but there was only one acting winner of colour this year, da'vinejoy randolph, in the best supporting actress category for the holdovers.
6:48 am
you don't tell a boy that's been left behind at christmas that nobody wants him. what's wrong with you? justine, here we go! only one woman, france'sjustine triet, was nominated in the best director category. according to recent statistics, hollywood's commitment to get more women behind the camera actually went backwards in 2023. that's despite the billion—dollar box office success of greta gerwig's barbie. we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. and for female actors, the news isn't that good either. a new study by the university of southern california found that the percentage of leading or co—leading female characters in top films was back to where it was 14 years ago. it's at a historic low. historic low for women. right? only 30 films out of 100 featured a female lead or co—lead. last year it was at 44%. so there's been a shift down.
6:49 am
and it was at 30% back in 2010. i think the academy and hollywood has not taken this issue seriously. they have not brought in top experts. we're going to continue to see fits and starts, ups and downs. many commentators say the oscars are the annual reflection of the movie industry, and that there won't be significant change until more decision—makers at the studios are from those groups historically sidelined by mainstream hollywood. one major hollywood star who, over the years, has certainly appeared in a number of summer box—office hits, is steve martin. before he was an actor, he was a very successful stand—up comedian. now, at the age of 78, he's a subject of a new high—profile documentary. good evening and welcome. my name is steve martin. steve martin! i am a wild and crazy guy!
6:50 am
cheering and applause. steve martin! a documentary in two pieces explores the life of a man who first made his name with stand—up comedy. his absurdist humour was big on silliness and human fragility. it's hard to overestimate how huge steve martin once was. steve was a rock star, and i don't even think steve quite remembers how big of a star he was. i mean, he was outdrawing the eagles and fleetwood mac in concert stadiums. he was a phenomenon in america. the documentary shows how steve martin played with the conventions of stand—up comedy, holding back on punch lines, or indicators, as he calls them, to signal audiences as to when they could laugh. so i had this theory, what if i took out the indicators butjust kept going? i was after that quality that is indefinable, where you say, "i don't know why it was funny... "..but it was." when you look back at the early
6:51 am
part of your career, when you were doing stand—up, what was it that enabled you to prevail, do you think? i call it workarounds. you know, to me, talent is when someone goes on a broadway stage and they hit the high note, and then they do the low note, and then they dance across the stage with a big finish with a big note. i couldn't do one of those things, so i had to kind of work around, my things that were missing in the talent department. uh, and fortunately, you know, i've been able to learn as i go along, learn how to act. water. in 1977, steve martin could be seen in his debut short film, the absent—minded waiter. four years later, he left stand—up behind, making movies became his focus. he became a big film star. there were so many movies to define his career. the jerk, dirty rotten scoundrels,
6:52 am
then films like all of me, that i think was an important film for him, because he could be silly and straight in the same movie, and then these more emotional movies, like planes, trains and automobiles, and father of the bride and things that are kind of about who steve really was, you know, which is a very emotional person. surveys of his film career show he's been willing to stray from hollywood studio formula. he was so impressed with the bbc production of dennis potter's musical romantic drama, pennies from heaven, he starred in a film version of it, training to tap dance, for eight months. it was a commercial failure, but many critics praised it. this documentary is more than just a chronicle of steve martin's daily activities and an iteration of his career achievements. it's also the story of a man who made millions laugh but often struggled to find happiness himself. steve had a lot of success, but not a lot of happiness, and then he worked as hard on his happiness as he did on his success.

i mean, that, to me, is actually really inspirational, and now he's happier than he's ever been. on that point, 78—year—old steve martin would agree. i have a beautifulfamily, and the last part of your life is really about friends and family, and...and working. well, here's something you don't often see. waaah! this documentary probably won't alter prevailing perceptions of steve martin as a very talented and thoughtful performer with many interests. it shows that, whatever he's tackled in life, he's more often than not prevailed by never giving up on himself, and for more than half a century, audiences have never really given up on him. movie houses are somewhat beleaguered, still struggling to bring box office back to pre—covid levels. audiences have been resistant to return, but some enterprising individuals have found new ways of watching movies collectively in so—called micro—cinemas.
6:54 am
these do—it—yourself style exhibition spaces can be found in many different cities — in tokyo, in berlin, and here in new york. talking movies has been investigating. micro—cinemas can be found in all kinds of new york locations, inside this former fire station, or behind this nondescript brooklyn storefront. they're modest, makeshift spaces, often showing experimental or non—mainstream work. micro—cinema is, put simply, just a small cinema. you really don't need more than folding chairs, a projector, and a white wall. staffed often by dedicated volunteers with a passion for film, micro—cinema programmers use their imagination to offer something quite different from the multiplex experience. the mission is to run laps around better subsidised for—profit
6:55 am
repertory movie theatres by showing films that should be on their radars. it's usually going to be a monster movie from the 19705 that played at midnight, or perhaps a ground—breaking documentary fiction hybrid about some, you know, niche but extremely important political issue, you know, from a bygone era. this trailer is promoting a long—established new york micro—cinema, dctv, a venue that has a loyal following. do you know kim's video? among the recent documentaries shown here was kim's video, a film which explores a legendary now—closed new york video store. the co—editor of the documentary came to the dctv screening. to him, a big plus of micro—cinemas is that they provide a space for film—makers like himself to interact directly with audiences. it's like a learning experience for both sides. i feel like it's rather unique to small cinemas in a way that you'd never get at a multiplex, so i don't need to have an enormous audience.
6:56 am
i'm not even that excited about a million people streaming at home as much as i am having a small dialogue with an audience who cares about movies. in the financially fragile world of independent film—making, micro—cinemas are being seen as a real lifeline of particular help to documentary film—makers. we are a part of the documentary ecosystem in the world, and when we opened, which was right after the pandemic, it was also just a really challenging time that most documentary films were not being bought, and we're one of the few cinemas in new york that can screen films that don't have distributors. those who run micro—cinemas view them as a permanent feature of the landscape, a way of seeing films which will prevail and develop.
6:57 am
that brings this edition of talking movies to a close. we hope you enjoy the programme. please remember you can always drop us a line. of the team here in new, as we leave you with some images from kinds of kindness, the new film from yorgos lanthimos starring emma stone that will be unveiled later this month at the cannes film festival.

6:59 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: and i do hereby declare that richard parker is... cheering and applause. a blow for rishi sunak as labour beats andy street in the west midlands mayoral
7:00 am
elections, capping a bleak set of results for the conservatives. the famous words, "i did it my way". and it was always going to be like that and in the end, it wasn't quite enough. it started in blackpool with a 26% swing and we've ended in the west midlands with our new mayor, richard parker, as the west midlands mayor. "the most loved and amazing son" — the family of daniel anjorin who was killed in a sword attack in east london pay tribute to the 14—year—old. their two—decade wait is over: ipswich town can start preparing for premier league football after clinching promotion from the championship. and while there'll be some showers about today, there'll also be some sunny spells and when the sun comes out, it's once again going to feel pretty warm. i'll have all of the details very shortly.
7:01 am
it's sunday the fifth of may. our main story: labour is celebrating an unexpected win in the west midlands mayoral race after its candidate richard parker narrowly beat the conservative's andy street, who had held the post for seven years. it was the latest in a series of dismal results for rishi sunak�*s party, which has lost hundreds of councillors in the local elections in england. the prime minister said he was disappointed but determined to press ahead with his plan to deliver a brighter future for the country. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. parker, richard — labour and co—operative party, 225,590. it's a result that will send a shudder through conservatives. street, andrew — the conservative party candidate, 224,082. labour victorious in the west midlands' mayoral race by 1,508 votes — a tiny margin in a region of 2 million people. one of the conservatives'
7:02 am
high—profile metro mayors andy street toppled. the labour leader was there to celebrate. the message out of these elections — the last elections now, the last stop before we go into that general election — is the country wants change. i hope the prime minister is listening and gives the opportunity to the country to vote as a whole in a general election as soon as possible. mr street said conservatives should not respond to defeat by shifting further right, but follow his moderate policies. the famous words, "i did it my way". and it was always going to be like that and, in the end, it wasn't quite enough, but i tell you what, it was bloody close — pardon my language — and no—one expected that. to be clear, do you want rishi sunak to lead the conservatives into the general election? yes, it would be complete madness to have another moment of introspection. in total, labour won 10 of the 11 mayoral races,
7:03 am
including london — a third term for sadiq khan. labour also topped the results in the english local council elections, gaining more than 180 seats. liberal democrats captured over 100, putting them into second place in the tally of total seats won. that pushed the conservatives, who lost more than 470 councillors, into third place — a dire set of results for them and with andy street's loss, deprived of a final consolation. damian grammaticas, bbc news. our political reporter simon gilbert is in birmingham this morning. it was pretty close, simon. on a national picture, people are reading into it as to how much it reflects rishi sunak�*s leadership but locally, was this a surprise? you would be forgiven, wouldn't you, for looking at the national picture, even how they performed in local elections in the west midlands, you
7:04 am
would look at that and think surely it was going to be a foregone conclusion with labour performing so well and the conservatives losing serious ground but it would be obvious that the labour candidate would win but if you are based in the west midlands would know about andy street, people know his name and it's unusual for a andy street, people know his name and it's unusualfor a local politician. richard parker had quite a mountain to overcome, the labour party had a mountain to overcome and actually it was made a lot taller by actually it was made a lot taller by a bit of an element that they were not expecting with an independent candidate who stood on and issue around the middle east and gaza and ended up finishing in third and the view is he took quite a lot of votes away from labour and we saw what happened with george galloway in another area of the country when he stood on similar issues so perhaps, it's something that will concern the labour party as they look to head into a general election but i think it would go without saying this is probably the chilli on the cake for what has been a pretty good week for the labour party. andy street, for
7:05 am
his part, it'll be interesting to see where he ends up now. i spoke to him at the end of the event yesterday and asked him if it was the end of his political career and he was coy about that. the ressa set potentially up for grabs in solihull, a conservative party nomination could be coming there, so we will have to keep an eye on him —— there is a seat. he is a formidable campaigner and we may not have seen the back of him. indeed, i'm sure it won't be the last we see of him. all but one of the results in this week's local elections in england have now been returned. it's gone on for two or three days, hasn't it? they are now in. labour are up with eight more councils coming under their overall control. it's a very different picture for the conservatives — they've lost control of 10 councils, dropping almost half of all the seats they were defending. the liberal democrats havejumped above the conservatives with wins in places like dorset and tunbridge wells. let's get more reflections on the
7:06 am
national picture from hannah miller. she is at downing street. good morning. rishi sunak will obviously not be entirely surprised and i expect some of this was expected but does it all mean for the prime minister? to does it all mean for the prime minister?— does it all mean for the prime minister? ., ,., ., minister? to some extent, roger, desite minister? to some extent, roger, despite how _ minister? to some extent, roger, despite how long _ minister? to some extent, roger, despite how long it _ minister? to some extent, roger, despite how long it has _ minister? to some extent, roger, despite how long it has gone - minister? to some extent, roger, despite how long it has gone on, | minister? to some extent, roger, i despite how long it has gone on, the results tell us kind of what we already knew that conservatives are way behind the labour party when it comes the battle for who walks through the doors of number 10 after the next general election. despite the next general election. despite the kind of psychological damage the people in the west midlands inflicted on the conservative party last night, this morning there is no appetite among rishi sunak�*s backbenchers for him to quit. that is in part because they say they want to be focused on delivery, that was the language he used —— the tees valley mayor ben houchen used after his success in the tees valley, the
7:07 am
one position that the conservative party did win. many people will say you've had a lot of years now to deliver so what's going to change? the former home secretary soever evelyn, one of rishi sunak�*s biggest critics, has written this morning, saying that what she wants to see the party delivering is big, bold tax cuts —— suella braverman. she wants to see the boat stopped and improvements to the nhs and the things we've heard before. as for labour, they will look at these results and feel hugely emboldened. they were of course local election results and there will be different issues at play in the general election but they see that they are a party where people feel comfortable voting for them under the leadership of keir starmer. they may see some need to rebuild trust with the muslim community, perhaps, also some pressure from the greens but that kind of green party left—wing pressure for now, at
7:08 am
least, will be resisted, i think, because they think they are firmly on track for keir starmer to walk through the doors of number 10. just behind you there. hannah, thank you. in about ten minutes, we will chew over the local elections and the consequences of the more with our political panel, tim montgomery from conservative home and sonia sowter from the observer who willjoin us, you can see more analysis including the result in your area on the bbc news website and app and put your postcode in and find out what the results are wherever you live. you can see more analysis, including the results in your area, on the bbc news website and app. that's catch up with all the rest of the stories with nina. the family of the 14—year—old boy who was killed in a sword attack in north—east london on tuesday say they are "devastated" by his death. daniel anjorin died in hainault on his way to school. a local church service to remember his life will take place this morning. simonjones reports. a community in shock.
7:09 am
a community that will come together today with a church service to mark daniel's life — a boy described by his family as "loving, amazing, precious". in a statement, they said: daniel had left the house for school and then, he was gone. his favourite football team, arsenal, paid tribute to him in the 14th minute in their match against bournemouth. commentator: 14-year-old - daniel anjorin, big arsenal fan who, sadly, lost his life in hainault. two police officers and two members of the public were also injured in the sword attack last tuesday. daniel's family said they would like to send their best wishes to them following what they called "this unthinkable incident". they also thanked the local community for their support. marcus monzo has been charged with murdering daniel. he's also been charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm.
7:10 am

7:11 am
in the egyptian capital cairo later. a support group for survivors of the manchester arena bomb attack is calling for the co—op live to postpone gigs until they can ensure the venue is ready, following a string of postponements due to technical issues. a spokesperson for the venue said it "couldn't and wouldn't operate any "show or event without all necessary approvals". our culture reporter noor nanji has more. fans arriving last night to see the american rapper a boogie wit da hoodie. they did this already on wednesday at the co—op live venue, but that gig was called off at the last minute due to technical reasons. the concert was then moved to rival a0 arena. we booked hotels and everything and now, we have to come here, so it's a bit annoying, like. iwas fuming! so, we got a taxi, we got out of the taxi and it said cancelled. we met people who travelled - from wales, liverpool and it was, like, a major inconvenience.
7:12 am
but you're here now, so are you excited? super excited, yeah. the uk's largest arena has been hit with setbacks, which its owners, oak view group, have blamed on defects with part of its ventilation system. it has said it's taking a short pause to fully ensure the safety and security of fans and artists visiting the venue. this venue should be up and running already with the us pop star olivia rodrigo originally due to perform this weekend. but her events were among those that were called off and now, there's barely a soul around. members of the manchester arena support network, a group which helps people affected by the terror attack in may 2017, say they have concerns. for safety reasons, they need to postpone the opening until they're ready. as members of the group, having the uncertainty of safety within the building, isjust not good. in may, our anxiety is raised

to see a bit of heat, thank you, simon. 1, . ~ ., ., to see a bit of heat, thank you, simon. ., ., , ., , let's return to our top story now — and the conservatives have suffered a significant defeat in the west midlands, losing the mayoral election to labour. it comes after one of the party's worst ever performances in england's local elections. our correspondent nick eardley has been crunching the numbers. let's start off with that result that came in late last night, the west midlands mayo race. here it is. a fascinatingly close result. richard parkerfor labour, 225,000, andy street for the conservatives, 224,000. the majority, despite there being more than half a million votes, wasjust 1508, being more than half a million votes, was just 1508, that's reflected in the percentages. 37.8 for labour, 37.5for reflected in the percentages. 37.8 for labour, 37.5 for the conservatives. one interesting thing to point out by the that was a candidate critical of labour's policy on gaza. still didn't stop them winning, just. have a look at
7:19 am
how the rates have changed with a. the conservative vote went right down. labour's vote went down as well but the fact the conservative vote went down by so much was what got labour over the line. there is the swing. conservative to labour, 4.6%. that was the big result from last night but there was another really important result yesterday in the capital, london. here it is. sadiq khan uncomfortably beating the conservative susan hall, 275,000 votes and at this time, a lot more. this is what the swing look like and mrs way labour one. a 3.2% swing from the conservatives to labour. the tories were hoping they could claw back more ground in london to run it close. that didn't happen. it was pretty comfortable for sadiq khan in the end. so the big picture across england for local councils, there's only one left to declare.
7:20 am
this is pretty much the finished picture, and it is similar picture. may be doing well, up 185, the conservatives doing terribly, down 473, losing just under half of all the seats they were defending in thursday's local elections. you will notice the lib dems are above the conservatives in that, they put in 104. withjust conservatives in that, they put in 104. with just pointing conservatives in that, they put in 104. withjust pointing out conservatives in that, they put in 104. with just pointing out quickly as well, the greens had a really good set of results, they are up 74. but the parties, when they are studying what this might mean for a general election, will be looking at this. conservatives down 12%, a really bad result, one that will make a lot of tory mps really nervous about what is going to happen in their constituencies at the general election. labour up 3%, not a huge amount actually got when you speak to people in the labour party, they are delighted about where that 3% is. they say it is the areas they need to win and if they going to win the general election. as you can see the lib dems and the
7:21 am

7:23 am
population. so i think what that shows is that in the seats that really count for a general election, labour is putting on boats. it is also true to say labour is losing votes, and that is partly as a result, i think there are some disaffected muslim voters as a result of the way keir starmer has handled the israel gaza crisis, also some evidence of votes dropping off a bit in very heavily remain areas, in areas where there are large student areas. but the fact of the matter is when you look at this in the cold objective light of a general election, those are seats when labour cannot afford to lose votes. so they are doing well in the seats that they have really got to be competitive on common terms of building a parliamentary majority for a general election. building a parliamentary ma'ority for a general election.* for a general election. timmy finessed your— for a general election. timmy finessed your first _ for a general election. timmy finessed your first answer - for a general election. timmy i finessed your first answer rather tantalisingly basing you have the parliamentary party now do something about it, surely you don't mean change leader again, and give the electorate another prime minister

7:27 am
this was a fifth by—election in blackpool south where there was a swing of over 20% from the conservative party to the labour party. wejust conservative party to the labour party. we just haven't seen those sorts of figures in the last 30, 40 years, that number of by—elections in the year before a general election. so it is not in the bag, but the signs are very positive and i think labour's strategists will be absolutely delighted this weekend. having listened to timbo, sonia, isn't part of the reason why a large part of the reason why labour have done so well the disaffection with the conservatives, rather than a genuine excitement about what keir starmer and labour are offering? well, absolutely part of the story is disaffection with the conservative government. they have beenin conservative government. they have been in powerfor 14 years, a lot has happened in that time, and the economy is not doing well. if you look at nhs waiting lists, they have come down a bit, we have record nhs waiting lists about six months ago. so of course part of what is driving
7:28 am
voting behaviour is disenfranchisement with the conservatives and you can see that in the results, there was a generally anti—conservative vote, where the votes went with labour, as they did a lot of them, or whether they did a lot of them, or whether they went to smaller parties like an reform or the greens or the liberal democrats. but one thing i will say is it is a very different mood in the country to 96—97, in the run—up to the 1997 general election. the economy isn't feeling so good, and i think that is having a knock—on impactjust in terms of how people are feeling about politics in general. there is less optimism in the air. so yes, labour still have some work to do in the run—up to the general election, to try and make people feel more enthusiastic about the labour government. but the take—home message of yesterday's results is not that a total lack of enthusiasm for labour, because people weren't staying home, it wasn't that they were just not voting conservative... wasn't that they were 'ust not voting conservative. . .i wasn't that they were 'ust not voting conservative... sonia, i'm sor , voting conservative... sonia, i'm sorry. thank— voting conservative... sonia, i'm sorry. thank you _ voting conservative... sonia, i'm sorry, thank you so _ voting conservative... sonia, i'm sorry, thank you so much, i voting conservative... sonia, i'm sorry, thank you so much, the i voting conservative... sonia, i'm i sorry, thank you so much, the clock has beaten us, and ever so sorry.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today. and i do hereby declare that richard parker is... cheering and applause. a blow for rishi sunak as labour beats andy street in the west midlands mayoral elections — capping a bleak set of results for the conservatives. the famous words "i did it my way". and it was always going to be like that and, in the end, it wasn't quite enough. we've started in blackpool with a 26% swing and we've ended in the west midlands with our new mayor, richard parker, as the west midlands mayor. "the most loved and amazing son" — the family of daniel anjorin who was killed in a sword attack in east london pay tribute to the 14—year—old.

their two—decade wait is over. ipswich town can start preparing for premier league football after clinching promotion from the championship. and sacrilege or sustainable — we'll look at the rise of vegan bakeries in france. and while there'll be some showers about today, there'll also be some sunny spells and when the sun comes out, it's once again going to feel pretty warm. i'll have all of the details very shortly. it's sunday the 5th of may. labour is celebrating an unexpected win in the west midlands mayoral race after its candidate, richard parker, narrowly beat the conservative's andy street, who had held the post for seven years. it was the latest in a series of dismal results for rishi sunak�*s party, which has lost hundreds of councillors in the local elections in england.
8:02 am
the prime minister said he was disappointed but determined to press ahead with his plan to deliver a brighter future for the country. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. parker, richard — labour and co—operative party, 225,590. it's a result that will send a shudder through conservatives. street, andrew — the conservative party candidate, 224,082. labour victorious in the west midlands mayoral race by 1,508 votes — a tiny margin in a region of two million people. one of the conservatives' high—profile metro mayors, andy street, toppled. the labour leader was there to celebrate. the message out of these elections — the last elections now, the last stop before we go into that general election — is the country wants change. i hope the prime minister is listening and gives the opportunity to the country
8:03 am
to vote as a whole in a general election as soon as possible. mr street said conservatives should not respond to defeat by shifting further right, but follow his moderate policies. the famous words "i did it my way". and it was always going to be like that and, in the end, it wasn't quite enough, but i tell you what, it was bloody close — pardon my language — and no—one would have expected that. to be clear, do you want rishi sunak to lead the conservatives into the general election? yes, it would be complete madness to have another moment of introspection. in total, labour won ten of the ii mayoral races, including london — a third term for sadiq khan. labour also topped the results in the english local council elections, gaining more than 180 seats. liberal democrats captured over 100, putting them into second place in the tally of total seats won. that pushed the conservatives, who lost more than 470 councillors, into third place — a dire set of results for them and,

8:08 am
telegraph this morning saying she wants to see the party stopping the boats, improving the nhs. she talks about big tax cuts as a way forward. but it is difficult to see what rishi sunak can do that will suddenly change the dial. the labour party, they are hugely emboldened by the results, these were local elections, there will be different priorities in a general election, but they see keir starmer as the leader people are willing to vote for, people feel comfortable with him as leader of the labour party. they know they have lost the trust of some people in muslim communities. there is clearly work to do to rebuild that. they think they are on track to get into number 10 whenever the next election comes around. . , .., 10 whenever the next election comes around. . , .,, ., around. larry the cat has 'oined ou, b around. larry the cat has 'oined you. by the i around. larry the cat has 'oined you, by the looks * around. larry the cat has 'oined you, by the looks of h around. larry the cat has 'oined you, by the looks of it. h around. larry the cat has joined you, by the looks of it. he - around. larry the cat has joined you, by the looks of it. he is i you, by the looks of it. he is heading back in for breakfast. thank you very much. we will talk more

8:18 am
mean there will be washing on the line? a natural rinse. it's been described as the systematic destruction of the countryside — huge amounts of waste dumped illegally and buried. investigations are now under way at several sites in the south east of england in efforts to crack down on mass flytipping. our correspondent yvette austin has the latest. another lorry arrives to tip its load at raspberry hill park farm in iwade. a runway of waste can be seen from our drone. diggers have clearly prepared the site in what appears to be an organised illegal operation. what we've got here is systematic destruction of a large part of kent's countryside. it's one of the worst sites i've seen in this country in the last few years. we've got massive processing of illegal waste being dumped there.
8:19 am
this is flytipping on an absolutely epidemic scale. waste disposal sites require a permit from the environment agency, or an exemption from needing one. this site has neither. local people say the tipping has been going on for many months. they're worried to speak out for fear of reprisals. one agreed to be interviewed, but we're not revealing their identity. it's a constant stream of lorries going up there tipping stuff. bonfires — we see the black smoke all the time. it's just a regular base of criminality. it's massive. and the amount of stuff they're putting in there day after day after day — we're a large village, we're near a main highway. this isn't hidden away. nobody can say they don't know about it. according to government land registry records, the site was bought in 2002 for £172,000. however, the bbc has been unable to trace the owner of the site
8:20 am
or establish whether they even know about the operation. at first glance, the waste might look like hardcore, but, look closer, and it's more like a filthy mix of shredded plastics. a lot of the waste for that site is processed, meaning that it is coming out of legitimate sources and ending up being buried in landfill illegally. the environment agency told me an investigation into the site is being led by kent county council. a spokesman for kcc said: "kent county council is one of a group of regulatory bodies involved in the raspberry hill park farm site. the other principal parties are swale borough council, the environment agency and the police. the case is being handled on a partnership basis with collective meetings and actions." meanwhile, the environment agency says it's investigating a number of other illegal waste sites across the county — at borstal, near rochester, in an area of outstanding natural
8:21 am
at minster on the isle of sheppey, next to the elmley nature reserve and on the edge of a site of special scientific interest. two more have been closed down, but the waste still remains. at hoad's wood, near ashford, a site of special scientific interest and ancient woodland, where a clean—up has been estimated to cost £10 million. and at eastchurch on the isle of sheppey, where it's alleged waste has been tipped over a cliff and it's making its way into the sea. we'd like to see a protocol in place whereby all the authorities i've just been through earlier — police, ea, natural england, and local authorities — have a system where, if this happens — and it will happen again, it's quite possibly happening now as we speak — when it does happen, then there's a system in place and it's you do this, you do that, we do that and we get it sorted and we tackle it. and we don'tjust let it linger and run on for ever and the problem just gets worse and worse and worse to the point where it is almost
8:22 am
impossible to turn around. illegal waste—dumping cost the uk government many millions of pounds in unpaid landfill tax every year. it's highly lucrative, though, for those behind the operations. that report from yvette austin. we're joined now by olly harrison, who's a farmer and nfu member, along with niall burns, the chief executive of subrosa group which helps councils crack down on illegalflytipping. watching the report, we were aghast at the scale, the size of the dump site. is it something you come across a lot on that scale? i think the are across a lot on that scale? i think they are two _ across a lot on that scale? i think they are two kinds _ across a lot on that scale? i think they are two kinds of _ across a lot on that scale? i think they are two kinds of fly-tipping. | across a lot on that scale? i think| they are two kinds of fly-tipping. i they are two kinds of fly—tipping. i think fly—tipping is more opportunistic, no one around, let's throw this out, and that is what we struggle with most on the farm. that is made to look professional so

8:31 am
the mayoral election to labour. it comes after one of the party's worst ever performances in england's local elections. our correspondent nick eardley has been crunching the numbers. let's start off with that result that came in late last night, the west midlands mayor race. here it is. a fascinatingly close result. richard parkerfor labour, 225,000, andy street for the conservatives, 224,000. the majority, despite there being more than half a million votes, wasjust1508, that's reflected in the percentages. 37.8 for labour, 37.5 for the conservatives. one interesting thing to point out is independents —
8:32 am
that was critical of labour's policy on gaza. still didn't stop them winning, just. have a look at how the rates have changed. the conservative vote went right down. labour's vote went down as well but the fact the conservative vote went down by so much was what got labour over the line. there is the swing. conservative to labour, 4.6%. that was the big result from last night but there was another really important result yesterday in the capital, london. here it is. sadiq khan comfortably beating the conservative susan hall, 275,000 votes in it this time, a lot more. this is what the swing look like and is why labour won. a 3.2% swing from the conservatives to labour. the tories were hoping they could claw back more ground in london to run it close. that didn't happen. it was pretty comfortable for sadiq khan in the end. so the big picture across england for local councils, there's only one left to declare. this is pretty much the finished picture, and it is a similar picture.
8:33 am
labour doing well, up 185, the conservatives doing terribly, down 473, losing just under half of all the seats they were defending in thursday's local elections. you will notice the lib dems are above the conservatives in that, they put in 104. worth just pointing out quickly as well, the greens had a really good set of results, they are up 74. but the parties, when they are studying what this might mean for a general election, will be looking at this. conservatives down 12%, a really bad result, one that will make a lot of tory mps really nervous about what is going to happen in their constituencies at the general election. labour up 3%, not a huge amount actually but when you speak to people in the labour party, they are delighted about where that 3% is. they say it is the areas they need to win in if they going to win the general election. as you can see the lib dems and the greens up a bit as well.

8:35 am
claim to it, the folk in basildon saw parliamentarians nationally had lost the plot, we have seen two successive leaders unelected, they see people more interested in stabbing each other in the back and trying to slide up the greasy pole of power and not enough focus on getting the job of power and not enough focus on getting thejob done of power and not enough focus on getting the job done and representing the country. that was coming out time and time again, a real dissatisfaction. to show how short public memory can be, many people saying, why have we not what boris? if he was back, we would vote for you. boris? if he was back, we would vote foryou. it's boris? if he was back, we would vote for you. it's dissatisfaction at national level to get a good common strategy out as to what the party stands for and what it is doing. would you agree with tim montgomery, who founded conservative home, he spoke to us, and he said that now we need another unelected conservative

all of the mayoral contests, you see, as was andy street's experience, substantial declines in conservative support since 2021, and to that extent at least the results of the mayoral elections in terms of change was not that the similar to what happened in the local elections. at this point, there is one thing about what was happening one thing about what was happening on thursday that has not been remarked upon enough. bearing mind that according to national opinion polls, the party at the moment of picking up most points is actually reform uk. bear in mind, they are often not on the ballot paper, not least on local council contests. where they were on the ballot paper, the support was in double—digit figures compared to 2021 was more like 20%. these elections perhaps

months ago. but not all the changed people are looking for is necessarily being articulated through labour. if you look at places where the liberal democrats started as the principal challenger to the conservatives, the electorate seemed to use liberal democrats to beat the conservatives. the greens are putting what i think will be a record performance for them in local elections, sun seems to be at labour�*s expense and —— some of that seems to be at labour�*s expense. independent candidates fighting on theissue independent candidates fighting on the issue of gaza are looking for change in the stance on gaza from both the conservatives and the labour party. the electorate seem to be relatively diverse in their voting in order to express the views about the changes they are looking

8:44 am
i've supported them all my life, so it's a wonderful _ moment for the town. blue army! all they had to do was beat relegated huddersfield to join champions leicester in going up. over to you, wes burns. that is the moment that portland road craved! guided by one of the game's brightest young managers in kieran mckenna — on a budget dwarfed by many of their rivals — ipswich spent all season punching above their weight. back—to—back promotions finished with a flourish. hutchinson able to skip away... ..and score! time for the party to spring into life. after two decades away, including relegation, administration, years and years of frustration, emotions overflowed at portman road. everyone wants to play in the premier league, it's the best league in the world, and to be given the opportunity to do so now it's massive. thanks to everyone associated with the club, all the boys, we couldn't have done it without one another. and in this sliver of suffolk, the view from the top tier next year
8:45 am
will be one to savour. ben croucher, bbc news. it was a day that ipswich town fans far and wide have waited a long time for. that includes ed sheeran, who grew up in suffolk, and sponsors the club's shirts. he's currently in miami and got up early to watch the game, here he is celebrating. and he had a special message for the players afterwards: where are you ? i'm in miami, i've got to pay for the sponsorship somehow! i'm back on wednesday, do you guys want to go out? obviously! cool i'll be in touch with marcus, we'll find somewhere. well done, congrats! party on wednesday probably! aston villa could qualify
8:46 am
for the champions league today, if they win at brighton and liverpool beat tottenham. in terms of the premier league title, it's manchester city's to lose. if they win all their games, they'll be champions. erling haaland scored four in their 5—1 win over wolves, which keeps them a point behind the leaders arsenal with a game in hand. the pressure's on rangers to beat kilmarnock this afternoon after celtic moved six points clear at the top of the scottish premiership, after their 3—0 win over hearts. that ahead of the old firm derby next weekend. wales' jakjones has called it crazy and unexpected after making it through to his first ever world snooker championship final after beating stuart bingham at the crucible. resuming with a 13 frames to 10 lead, it took the world number 44 almost four hours to secure the remaining four he required to reach the magic mark of 17. the 30—year—old sealing the win in style with a break of 65 to knock out the 2015 world champion. i didn't feel nervous coming out here, really.
8:47 am
i felt like i was cueing really good, then i start missing a few and obviously it's new to me, playing playing one table, and then i guess a bit embarrassing. and i made that clearance, a really good clearance, out of nowhere, and it did settle me down. harlequins will be looking to reach the european champions cup final today when they face toulouse in the semifinal. northampton fell short of doing that yesterday, beaten by leinster despite a late fightback. a hat—trick of tries from james lowe enough to see the home side into the final, 20—17 it finished at croke park. meanwhile, gloucester are in to their fifth european challenge cup final after they beat benneton 40—23. they'll face south african side sharks in the final at the tottenham hotspur stadium later this month. st helens missed the chance to go two points clear at the top of the super league after being beaten by 40 points to 20 by hull kr. the home side ran in seven tries with ryan hall — you'll see the last to go over the line. kr are one of six sides

8:50 am
so what to make of this? in a paris bakery, something close to sacrilege. c'est bon. it is a croissant made entirely without butter. like everything else on the sale here. the baker responsible says his vegan business is booming. fla ky? yes. one small portion of a much bigger struggle to shake up french food culture, and to address climate change. we have to adapt a little bit french food. but it must be a steep mountain to climb in a country like france. a lot, a lot. very difficult? yes, but it is changing. but that change is messy. dairy farmer sophie has spent many of the past few
8:51 am
months on huge protest marches, leaving her pampered dairy herd to demonstrate against cheap foreign imports and against new eu rules to tackle climate change. as you can imagine, she is a big fan of butter in her croissant. but she is worried about the future. translation: i have grandchildren, so i want what's best _ for the planet, but you can'tjust blame everything on farmers. in her view, people need to eat local produce, to cut out the big multinational firms taking the profits. transforming french food culture is going to take a long time, but there are plenty of people leading the way. in bakeries, on farms, and in high—end restaurants like this one. in her kitchen, chef manan fleury has already made waves for hiring almost only women,
8:52 am
challenging a still male dominated industry, but she is also trying to nudge her customers away from meat, tackling another culinary tradition head—on. french tradition is quite heavy, so we need to, sometimes we need to have some radical ideas to change. a little revolution? yes, kind of. but these parisians are not yet ready for another revolution. they have come to judge the city's croissants, every pastry rich with dairy. all that buttery flavour going into it and that's what makes it wonderful and dreamy. the vegan version not even under consideration. andrew harding, bbc news, paris. look at these! we can speak now to marta vannatt,

hello. it wasn't until late last night we got the last few nail—biting results, so settle in this morning — we'll crunch the complete election picture. nightmare for the tories — jubilation for labour. here, there and everywhere. keir starmer is showing labour is back on the pitch — in blackpool, north yorkshire, and with only 1,000 votes in it, a new mayor in the west midlands. a narrow victory but a huge win. we've just got chaos and division
9:00 am
from the tories, people want to turn the page on that. obviously, it's disappointing to lose good, hard—working conservative councillors. i'm focused completely on the job at hand. conservatives clamouring to concentrate on its victory on teesside, but who was the winner here? ben houchen, the local mayor who hung on, who says sunak is safe for now. the idea that people in the conservative party think we can change prime minister yet again, whoever that may be, and still think we have any chance of winning the next election is for the birds. the council results were dire for the tories, with all the nerves that creates for the general election. that's quite a swing, isn't it? i mean, you'd be toast if there was a 16% swing to labour, wouldn't you? these results might sketch out the political future. so this morning, what might it hold?
