fans had to file into the arena amidst a small melee of police and protesters, the presence of israel in the final has provoked demonstrations and discomfort from some of the competitors. but when israel's eden golan to the stage, it passed without incident and benjamin netanyahu said that her presence alone meant she already won. although there were jeers from some parts of the crowd. for eurovision organisers, always anxious to try to keep the event politics—free, there was a close eye on what was on stage. the word �*ceasefire�* was asked to be removed from the irish contestant, in rehearsal, and in the end the performance was spectacular. for the uk's olly alexander, the performance of dizzy

was dizzying, and for the jury in the end, whatever the voters thought the uk's pride was intact. then the mysteries of eurovision voting began with booing and the politics of the evening leading to some last—minute changes of presenters. but it was soon apparent there was a runaway victor, switzerland with the spinning, operatic the code, by nemo. the uk came 18th but after all the withdrawals and disqualification and protests, by the end, it feels very eurovision and very much switzerland's night. david sillito, bbc news, malmo. we would talk a lot more about eurovision during the course of the morning and will be live in malmo in one hour and we will unpick what happened last night. and the rest of

the news this sunday morning. sarah has all of the details. the mp for dover, nathalie elphicke, who defected from the conservatives to labour last week, has been accused of lobbying ministers over her former husband's sexual assault court case. her spokesman has dismissed the claims. our political correspondent nick eardley sent this report. the latest allegation is that nathalie elphicke effectively lobbied ministers before her then husband trial. the allegation if she spoke to thejustice secretary robert buckland and suggested that at the time of the trial should be moved to avoid extra publicity. sir robert buckland, who was thejustice secretary at the time, has told the sunday times that she was told in no uncertain terms that it would be completely inappropriate to speak to thejudge completely inappropriate to speak to the judge about the trial at all. the bbc has spoken to the robert and he has confirmed that account.

nathalie elphicke, through a spokesman, has said the claims are nonsense, while the labour party has questioned why the allegations were only made after she defected from the conservative party to the labour party. it is another awkward question for the labour party about their newest mp. remember, many labour mp as were pretty uncomfortable with nathalie elphicke being allowed into the party. she was seen as being on the right of the conservatives and a lot of labour mp the a saying why she in the labour party now. protest movements, such palestine action and just stop oil, could be banned in a similar way to terrorist groups under a proposal by the government's adviser on political violence. lord walney will recommend a new, separate category for proscribing protest groups which use criminal tactics or serious disruption to try to achieve their aims. the home office says it'll consider his recommendations extremely carefully.

england, it may help tip the balance so many more people can afford to get a job. from today, working parents of a child aged nine months can apply for 15 hours of free childcare a week. the places will be available from the start of the september term. available from the start of the septemberterm. it available from the start of the september term. it comes after two —year—olds started getting access to 15 free hours from april, and three and four —year—olds already qualify for up to 30 hours for week for free. the plan is eventually to offer 33 hours to all under five children but there are concerns they may not be enough places to meet demand. the department of education estimates that 85,000 more childcare places and 40,000 extra staff would be needed by september 2025 and even though the hourly rate paid to childcare providers is going up, some say it often does not cover overall costs, so parents can often be charged for extras like meals, nappies, and trips to help balance books. fin nappies, and trips to help balance

"no, no, no!" every single moment that i hear anyone talk about what it means to be a nigerian woman, it is the most flattering thing to be in that company, and your company. so, yes, it has been really eye—opening and humbling to know more about my heritage and be able to know this is the beginning of that discovery. a discovery that could lead to more visits to nigeria by the couple. simijolaoso, bbc news. it was a mostly disappointing night for those hoping to see another glimpse of the northern lights in the uk last night. was it not last night? i was looking forward to it! i was it not last night? i was looking forward to it!— forward to it! i set my alarm for 1130! many people had hoped for a repeat of friday night's spectacular skies thanks to one of the strongest geomagnetic storms in years. these were the scenes in spean bridge in scotland near ben nevis.

on the terrified families who are fleeing rafah in southern gaza as the war between hamas and israel continues. an image on the front page shows women and children leaving the region on a tricycle loaded with belongings. and the sunday telegraph reports that civil service diversityjobs are to be banned in what it calls "a new crackdown on whitehall woke spending". the paper says a radical overhaul will forbid managers from hiring any new staff dedicated to boosting equality and inclusion. the big talking point of the morning probably in the sunday telegraph which you were just talking about buried on about page eight the green light to be included in a full english breakfast — bao buns. english breakfast — bao buns. english breakfast — bao buns. english breakfast society upholds the standards of the full english

memoir. i went to find out why writing the book was so important to her. ijust i just wanted to tell our story, really, and to... i don't know, keep laura's memory alive by sharing the whole experience, she has been through and hopes —— how she coped with it and who she was as a person and hopefully it will help somebody is well going through a situation maybe not the same as ours, but a problem or health issue that puts pressure on the whole family. because i am hoping to explain in the story that is notjust one person that goes through a cancer diagnosis, it is the whole family. coming up to a year since laura died. keeping her memory alive is so important for that reason of helping other people. that is why you are doing it now, isn't it? it other people. that is why you are doing it now, isn't it?— doing it now, isn't it? it is, and we set uo _ doing it now, isn't it? it is, and we set up laura's _ doing it now, isn't it? it is, and we set up laura's foundation i doing it now, isn't it? it is, and| we set up laura's foundation for that reason and now we need donations to other research projects, £85,000 so far, she hated

many other lives is not wasted even if it was short. that was nicola talking about her daughter. it was an emotional interview in more ways than one. nicola's new book, the stars will still be there, is out now. time to get a chat about the sport. good morning. really crunch time at the moment. lots of people feeling positive, lots of people feeling not so positive in regards to football. it is a weekend of the premier league. we were talking about it yesterday. they were on the line and the inevitable has happened for burnley. it was always going to be a tough task for them. they went to tottenham, had to win and didn't. the same old story, not being able to hold on. they were outstanding last season, 100 plus season but they haven't been able to recreate that in the premier league. luton,

emotional times for them as well. they were on the brink of going down. it is not good to have three go down. it is not good to have three 9° up down. it is not good to have three go up in three go down. they come back up what you want to see one of those sides to well. luton, for a lot of people, and has won them over because of that incredible story. the first time in the premier league. but it will make an almighty goal difference if they are to survive. forest look like they will be safe. all the sides promoted last season are set to go back to the championship this season. burnley�*s fate is sealed and luton are all but down too after both were beaten. patrick geary reports. what came up now must go down. for luton town and burnley, this was the day hope finally ran out. for luton town and burnley, this was the day hope finally ran out. a one—season stay with the elite is about to end. whether they liked it or not,

luton walked into a leaving do — the last home game for west ham's manager david moyes. but in their first premier league season, luton have shown that they are no respectors of occasion or reputation. albert sambi lokonga gave them something to cling to. that grip was flimsy, though, vulnerable to west ham's increasing pressure. james ward—prowse fired them level. moyes' boys now got around to sorting the boss a parting gift. tomas soucek picked out something special. commentator: what a strike from tomas soucek! _ it finished 3—1. mathematically, luton�*s relegation is not confirmed, but emotionally, they know. it's difficult. it is the end of the world right now. we know it is not. you know, the sun come up again tomorrow and we have to then pick ourselves up. burnley were probably already chasing a lost cause but never stopped running. part of what gotjacob bruun larsen the opening goal against tottenham. but burnley needed victory and spurs reasserted control. goals from pedro porro and micky van der ven finally sank the clarets. the final whistle blows on burnley�*s premier league season.

they are relegated. they will hope the road back starts here. patrick geary, bbc news. those results helped nottingham forest who look like they'll be spending another season in the premier league despite losing themselves. a point against chelsea would have guaranteed them safety and they looked to be heading for at least that when callum hudson odoi put them 2—1 up at the city ground. but the visitors came storming back to win 3—2, nicolas jackson with chelsea's winner to keep their hopes of european qualification alive. forest remain three points clear of luton with one game to go and a far better goal difference. at the other end of table, manchester city know if they win their final two games of the season, they will be premier league champions for a record fourth time in a row. that's after a very comfortable 4—0 win in the sunshine at fulham. josko gvardiol scoring twice. it's a result that helped their goal difference — phil foden, who's had an outstanding season,

getting in on the act — to the delight of a noel gallagher who was of the travelling support. and that result moves them two points clear of arsenal who play at manchester united this afternoon. celtic are on the brink of another scottish premiership title after a 2—1win over rangers in the old firm derby. it was a day to forget for midfielderjohn lundstram. celtic were already a goal up when he put through his own net here. rangers pulled one back only for lundstram to then be sent off. celtic are six points clear at the top with a better goal difference and just two games to go. we are in a great place, we have taken the six—point advantage with two games to go, and we have an extra goal difference as well. ijust said to the players, but we are not over the line yet. we are in an amazing position,

that was the opportunity we had today to win that game, to put us in that place. the players have done that. manchester united and tottenham hotspur will go head to head at wembley later today in the final of the women's fa cup. neither club has won the competition before so we are guaranteed a new name on the trophy. united were beaten by chelsea in the final last season and manager marc skinner is hoping that his side can learn from that defeat to get over the line this time around. we have two use it, remember, remember, bring back those feelings and give more and give more and give more. there is nobody guaranteed to win this final, let me be very clear on that, but what we have to do is give everything in order to make sure the performance is worthy of it. and if we do that and use those of variances, the feeling of whom drive us forward, the pulley that will give us a little edge and that is what you need to win the game. it was a night of celebration in cardiff as lauren price became wales's first female world champion boxer after beating american jessica mccaskill. price, who you might remember won gold at the tokyo olympics,

is a former kickboxing world champion and international footballer and was taking part injust her seventh professional fight. an accidental clash of heads in the fifth round saw champion mccaskill unable to continue beyond the eighth. as a result, thejudges awarded price the wba, ibo and ring magazine welterweight titles on points. to cricket, where england's women have made a good start to their t20 series against pakistan. they were indebted to captain heather knight and daniell gibson who steadied the innings at edgebaston after the loss of four early wickets. england eventually posted 163/6 and that proved too stiff a target for the tourists who fell short by 53 runs. the second match of the three—match series is on friday. i thought heather were really class, rebuilding that partnership and it was just awesome to get a score to

of rugby league's super league with four sides on 16 points. wigan warriors are top on points difference thanks to a 48—6 win away at huddersfield giants. a hat—trick of tries from liam marshall and a brace from bevan french helping them dominate proceedings in west yorkshire. catalan dragons beat leeds 26—0 to go fourth. a superb round for rory mcilroy means he's just one shot off the lead at the wells fargo championship in north carolina. he's a three—time champion at the tournament and was four shots behind leader xander schauffele after the second round, but a bogey—free 4—under par—67 leaves him right in contention ahead of today's final round. english 17—year—old phoebe gill has recorded the second fastest time in history for an under—18 female athlete after running an astonishing 800 metres in belfast. in sweltering conditions, gill, from st albans, set a new european record, finishing nearly two seconds quicker than the previous record,

which had lasted for 45 years, and shaving close to four seconds off her personal best. it puts her in joint second place in this year's world 800m rankings. the huge strength of british 800 metres running, though, means the teenager still faces a very tough task in securing a place at this summer's olympics. an incredible talent for the future. what i love it she said at the end that she was shocked and could not believe it, and she was running late! she got her timings wrong and that she nearly missed the race! i wonder if the adrenaline helped her over the line. wonder if the adrenaline helped her over the line-— over the line. want a name to remember — over the line. want a name to remember for _ over the line. want a name to remember for the _ over the line. want a name to remember for the future! - over the line. want a name to remember for the future! on | over the line. want a name to i remember for the future! on the sub'ect of remember for the future! on the subject of what _ remember for the future! on the subject of what you _ remember for the future! on the subject of what you can - remember for the future! on the subject of what you can put - remember for the future! on the subject of what you can put into | subject of what you can put into full english, as i set it incorrectly ties, the sausage chorizo, which i cannot pronounce.

is pushing boundaries with its latest candidate, john mcfall. absolutely amazing. this is what it feels like. woohoo! he's an amputee, and he's taking part in a ground—breaking project to see if someone with a disability can go to space. this project will deliver a very strong message to redefine or define what people's interpretation of what someone with a physical disability can do. meet the world's first para astronaut, who could open up space for everyone. chosen from 22,000 applicants after an incredibly tough selection process, these are the european space agency's new astronauts, the brightest and the best. among them is a candidate who's a first.

so, i think it's wise that we now announce our para astronaut, and that isjohn mcfall. john mcfall has been selected using exactly the same criteria as all european astronauts. but unlike any of the others, he has a physical disability. now he's taking part in a ground—breaking project. being an amputee, being an astronaut was never really on my radar because like the military, you wouldn't pass the medical selection process. i thought i would have the skills, a mix of skills and scientific background that i could really help them answer this very aspirational question of can we get someone with a physical disability into space, to work in space safely? and i thought i could be that person.

for the last ten years, john's been working as an orthopedic surgeon. hi, sir. how are you? but his life's about to change, possibly forever. it's daunting. it's quite scary, because i'm giving up the security of being a doctor. it's a fantastic profession, i love it. there are so many aspects about it that i absolutely love. so, trepidation from that point of view, but very, very excited about what the future holds. when i came across the announcement that esa were looking for an astronaut with a physical disability, and i looked at it, and ifelt inspired by it, it was really the only way i can describe it. it looked really, really interesting. the person's specification, the characteristics that they were looking for of the candidates, i was like, yeah, that's me. i can do that. and that's what really interested me. john grew up in hampshire. as a child, he loved sports. but when he was a teenager, he had a serious accident

while he was on holiday. i had a motorcycle accident when i was 19 in thailand, in the year 2000, i was i was travelling. boys being boys, taking risks. and it turns out that some risks have consequences. and i crashed a motorbike and did a lot of damage to my right leg, which required it being amputated through the knee not long after the after the accident. i had a place at university to go to and i was due to start in september 2000. so i then deferred my place for a year, learnt to walk again. and really that was when i started to what i would call learn to be an amputee and learn to be me again. not content with just walking, he learned to run at the highest level. he represented great britain. john went on to win a medal at the 2008 paralympic games.

the application of being a full—time athlete was probably the first time in my life that i realised what i could do if i put my mind to it and if i put my effort into it. john's accident set his life on an entirely new path. the opportunities that i have come across as a result of it, i never could have predicted those, and i wouldn't change it for the world. it's shaped the decisions i've made in my life and it's really, really contributed to the person that i am today. what are you feeling, john? amazing! nowjohn mcfall�*s decision to become an astronaut is his biggest yet. he's getting a taste of space on a parabolic flight, where you experience periods of weightlessness. ijoinjohn for his and my first flight.

here we go. 0h! i'm spinning! spinning. i want to come down. it's like the ground is moving away from you. it's really hard to actually control where you're going. as you can see, it's hard to master. but this is the closest that we can get to experience what being an astronaut is like. john, how are you finding it? i mean, where do you get this? and down! it works by a plane making an extremely steep climb. it takes a team of three to control the manoeuvre. the plane then arcs to begin its descent, and that's where the weightlessness kicks in. there you go. john uses an extremely high tech prosthesis.

it's his first chance to test it in this new environment. so, just tell us about how your prosthesis is doing. so, i mean, this is designed to work with gravity. exactly. there's some really clever gadgetry in this knee, you know, accelerometers, a gyroscope, those sorts of things that obviously are collecting data when you're in normal gravity. and you probably see me when i'm floating around, actually. so, in normal gravity, if you look here, the knee bends. under normal gravity. but when you go into zero—g, you'll probably see i'm floating around a lot with the leg straight because that gravity isn't there. and there's a concept called the conservation of angular momentum. like ice skaters, when ice skaters are spinning on ice, they stick their arms out and slow down or they tuck into a ball and speed up. so it's harder for me to turn quicker, but because my leg doesn't want to bend, therefore i'm kind of out straight a little bit. so i'm just getting used to that and working out how i can move myself in zero—g and learning how to move myself in zero—g, taking into account this phenomenon.

so, are you sort of starting to predict what your prosthesis is going to do? well, i think at the moment i'm just predicting that it's going to stay out straight. otherwise, i have to keep my good leg hooked over the prosthesis like this to hold it there. but every time, each parabola is a learning opportunity. it is! and this is what the european space agency's project is all about — finding out what needs to be adapted forjohn to go to space. this has never been done before. so there isn't a blueprint for this and there is no map. how will my disability affect my ability to work on a day to day basis as an astronaut? will i wear a prosthesis? and if i wear a prosthesis, will i have to have something that will accommodate variations in volume in my stump? will we have to adapt a spacesuit for a spacewalk? if so, in what ways?

all these questions are things we do not have answers for. that is really the purpose why i am doing this and undertaking this feasibility project. can you help me? can you help me down? being weightless isn't for everyone. i've got no control. but, thankfully, that's not the case withjohn. yeah, it's ok. still happy with signing up? absolutely. absolutely, yeah. you haven't made a terrible mistake? not at all, i can't wait. john's ambitions are sky high, and the international space station is the destination for astronauts, offering an out—of—this—world experience from the orbiting laboratory. john is not guaranteed a mission here, though, but his study with the european space agency is all about seeing

if one is possible. the training takes place at the european astronaut centre in cologne in germany. this is a life—sized mock—up of the module that's on the international space station. so, totally to scale? yeah, 1:1 scale, yeah. ok, let's go in and have a look. is the earth down there? the earth is that way, yeah. so, if you had a nice window there, which there isn't, unfortunately, you would see earth there, and the rest of space is up there. so, which bit is this, john? so, we're in the columbus module, and this is the european space agency's orbiting laboratory. and what's this over here? so, this is a glove box, and this would be something where you might be working with biological materials, for example. so, maybe doing bone analysis or something like that. if you wave, this is you. as seen from the camera

of the rover. john's looking at missions from every angle. here, he's getting a virtual taste of the moon. he's trying to assess how his disability will impact everything from spacesuits to any equipment, as well as the spacecraft itself. of course, the gravity plays a big role here. it takes a long time to come back. but he's well aware that there are some limitations to the scope of his project. yeah, this is where you were just before. one of the things we've got to be conscious about with the study is my disability is not representative of the whole disabled population. but what's really exciting and interesting about this is this is pushing that door open. ok, this is the first time that anybody has done it. and we can't expect to do all disabilities in one go. this is more symbolic, as well. it's a real starting point,

a real stepping stone for what i hope will be a much biggerjourney on exploring how we are going to deal with getting people with other physical disabilities and other sensory disabilities into human space flight. the man in charge of europe's astronaut corps says it's time to open up space. in the beginning, all the astronauts were test pilots. probably some people have seen the movie, the right stuff. it was all white males going...being very strong. and we have seen that there has been an evolution, that we start understanding more and more that in order to fly to space, in order to be an astronaut, you also need different qualities. and we think this is a great opportunity, because we have so many great talents, people that have a disability, like we see john with a lower limb that has been amputated because of an accident when he was young. but with so much talent,

so much capabilities. and why should we not try to also harvest this talent within our european space agency for great missions like astronaut missions? were other space agencies a bit surprised when the european space agency said they were going to do something like this? i think other space agencies were surprised. some of them are still surprised that we really want to go forward with it. something that, oh, this is a study, and then we will see what happens. but it's really our goal to study, but also to make it happen. job number one, done. john's family has moved from the uk to germany for the project. it's a big change for his wife, sonia, a former olympic gymnast and their three children — finn, isla andjimmy. chop that way. am i doing the avocado, yeah? what do you think? we've moved to germany.

what do you think when you tell people what daddy did? what do you think of daddy being an astronaut? er, i'm proud. um...it's really cool. i think it's a massive achievement from going from a doctor, working in a massive building and then possibly being shot off from a bomb into a black void. what do you say that daddy does? he trains to go up into space. yeah? and people, like, - ask me loads of questions. do they? ..about dad's leg. just knowing him and knowing what he's like as a person, what he's got to offer, that it's the right career for him, 100%. well, what's different about what i'm doing? you're just... well, cos i don't really. know what you're doing. it is quite funny when when you look at his cv and what he's done.

but part of me, i've always known that there's always been something more. i've always felt like that john's got something more to offer. john could never have — when he lost his leg — dream of being an astronaut because it wasn't possible. it wasn't out there. it wasn't an option. and it's a big thing in our family that you go for the opportunity. and for me, this was an opportunity. and he's gone and taken it. and i hope he gets the reward for it, which is eventually going to space and showing people that it's possible. exercise is a big part ofjohn's life. even more so now he's an astronaut candidate. keeping fit in space is vital to maintain muscle mass and bone strength. he uses a blade for running and he needs to find out more about how it might work in space. at the astronaut centre, he's trying a special anti—gravity treadmill. 0k, we will start with 85.

it recreates the conditions on the international space station, in effect, making john lighter. but he's finding that there are some issues with his blade. my body weight pushes that into the ground. it compresses the blade, and then the blade springs back again, giving me a natural spring. so the natural spring that you would have in your foot to move forward. to help propel you forward. even testing this at 80% of my body weight, i notice that it's already too stiff. and that's because i'm lighter. i'm putting less force into the blade, it's bending less, and, therefore, giving me less spring back. so, you might need something a bit bendier? something less stiff, yes, something a bit more flexible. because essentially i'm lighter running on the treadmill on the iss. like, do several movements.

—— the weight lifting, because you have to, j like, do several movements. the study has identified that i will need a few prosthesis, a few pieces of hardware. so, it's not going to be just one type of prosthesis that i take up for everyday activity. so, i use a different prosthesis for running, so that will also be hardware that i need to take. if the microprocessor knee fails for any reason on the international space station, i will need a mechanical knee to back it up, or a replacement microprocessor knee. and then, there's the mechanical knee, which will probably need to be worn inside the spacesuit for launching and return. and then there's also the socket as well. so, we have to ask ourselves — do we take a spare socket or not? so, these are all quite interesting questions. but i will need a bit of a wardrobe of prosthetic hardware to take with me. strong back. abs tight. so, every piece of hardware that goes to the space station,

whether it be a camera, a laptop, an experiment, a prosthesis, it has to be safe to, a, transport too, so, go up in the in the launch vehicle and be safe on the space station itself. and it goes through a very, very rigorous testing process. see if this is comfortable. there are more tests forjohn, too, and this one's not for the faint—hearted. have a good ride. will do. _ ..or the claustrophobic. three, two, one. ignition and lift off. he's taking a spin in a giant centrifuge. it mimics the extreme gravity he'd experience heading up to space in a rocket and coming back down. we experience 16 on earth. and the forces that we're going to be experiencing today

during launch — probably going up to about 3.5 g. so 3.5 times the force of gravity. and then the final part of the familiarisation today is seeing what it would feel like in a soyuz re—entry. so, simulating 6 g, or six times the force of gravity. right now, they're increasing the gravity thatjohn's experiencing. but he's been smiling, so he looks ok so far. but he is being monitored all the time, checking to see the effects on his heart, on his oxygen levels, to see how his body is reacting. the effects on the body differ from person to person. but in general, most people definitely feel pressure on the chest, and that can be difficult to breathe. and if you feel that for the first time when you go to space and you have no idea what's happening to you, that can be quite intimidating. so getting familiar with these forces in a controlled setting is actually a nice way

to train people. it was, for us, the first time that we actually had an amputee in the centrifuge. in this setup, they're basically lying on their back in a sort of seated position on their back. and so, this influences the blood flow also in the leg. and we were also curious to see how that would affect him. but it went really well. so that's really good news. hello, john. hello. welcome back to earth. thank you very much. well done. i think probably felt more pressure than i was expecting, i guess. you know, until you've done it before, you never really know. yeah, it was brilliant. i can imagine how useful it is in terms of preparedness. having this opportunity to familiarise yourself with the centrifuge. so definitely an awesome preparatory opportunity. i didn't actually notice my right leg at all throughout the whole thing. it was probably the most comfortable part of me throughout the whole process.

so, yeah, the sockets — no comfort problems whatsoever. so that's really good to know for the flight study. so, what's in here, john? well, this is one of the crew quarters. john's about halfway through the project now, and there are still many questions to be answered, but it's progressing well so far. this is a sleeping bag. it's velcro? yeah, you get yourself in your sleeping bag and you actually velcro yourself to the wall so that you don't float around too much when you're sleeping. it's not guaranteed that you will go to space, but does this make you want to do it? every time you go and get close to something that's more akin to operational, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you're, like, this is what it's about. so, in answer to your question, absolutely. hugely excited about going to space. so, you will do an orbit in 91 minutes... - his family are sure john will succeed.

john is so capable of it, and i think he's so right for the role. his skill set, i think he's able to really shape and help with the study and show what's possible, and i think then that opens up to other people with other disabilities and, you know, everybody should go for their dream. woo—hoo! look at that! and the european space agency wantsjohn to make it, too. i've lost my ball! all the indicationsl that we have so far is that there are no - showstoppers for people with a disability likej john to fly to space. now, we have not finalised everything. _ there is still some work to do. we are pursuing that work. and i would really love i to see john fly to space. for now, john's training will continue. but the world is watching his progress, because this is a project that could change people's perceptions aboutjust who can become an astronaut with the potential of truly opening up space.

i'd like to think that it will broaden their horizons and their knowledge of what someone with a physical disability is capable of as well. but i also hope that they see me just as asjohn, which i'm sure they will, because i am justjohn. i'm not going to be a para astronaut. i want to be an astronaut, and i happen to have a physical disability. and this is the the message that we are trying to deliver.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: he has done it! switzerland have won! after one of the most controversial eurovision song contests, switzerland are crowned this year's winner. protest groups such asjust stop oil could be banned in a similar way to terrorist organisations under new proposals. 15 hours of free child care

for babies as young as nine months: applications from parents in england open today. she's wales's first female world champion boxer: lauren price makes history in cardiff, seeing off jessica mccaskill in just her seventh professional fight. good morning. after the warmest of the year yesterday, today will be warmer in the east, but changes in the west with thunderstorms. i will bring you all the details shortly. good morning. it's sunday may 12. switzerland has won the eurovision song contest in a competition marred by controversy and politics. the singer nemo triumphed with the song the code. the uk's olly alexander came a disappointing 18th. there was booing for israel in the arena, while, earlier, thousands of pro—palestinian protesters marched outside. our arts correspondent,

david sillito, has more. switzerland, winning one of the most extraordinary eurovision song contests of all time. fans had to file into the arena amidst a small melee of police and protesters, the presence of israel in the final has provoked demonstrations and discomfort from some of the competitors. but when israel's eden golan took to the stage, all passed without incident and benjamin netanyahu said that her presence alone meant she already won. there were, though, jeers from some parts of the crowd. for eurovision, always anxious to try to keep the event politics—free, there was a close eye on what was on stage.

the word �*ceasefire' was asked to be removed from the irish contestant, in rehearsal, and in the end the performance was spectacular. for the uk's olly alexander, the performance of dizzy was dizzying, and for the jury in the end, whatever the voters thought the uk's pride was intact. then the mysteries of eurovision voting began with booing for the judge and the politics of the evening leading to some last—minute changes of presenters. but it was soon apparent there was a runaway victor, switzerland with the spinning, operatic the code, by nemo. the uk came 18th but after all the withdrawals and disqualification and protests, by the end, it feels very eurovision and very much switzerland's night. david sillito, bbc news, malmo.

our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher is in malmo for us this morning. charlotte, it's been a long night for you? in the end, did the music outshine all the controversy that preceded at? i all the controversy that preceded at? 4, at? i think it did. there were moments — at? i think it did. there were moments in _ at? i think it did. there were moments in the _ at? i think it did. there were moments in the arena, - at? i think it did. there were moments in the arena, and i at? i think it did. there were i moments in the arena, and he at? i think it did. there were - moments in the arena, and he heard from david there, whether politics and chaos of the week did sink in. there was booing for the israeli contestant and the judge, and there was a lot of tension and then pro—palestinian demonstrated at the front. but many people were there to watch the music and the performances and there was an amazing staging, dramatic performances and really

ambitious. ollie alexander really did well people in the arena but in the public vote he failed to secure any points. all of us in the media design put our hand to the faces when that happened —— olly alexander. croatia as well, we felt bad for them, baby lasagna peeped at the post by nemo. he is loved by many of the other artists and many rushed up to congratulate them. hopefully, i will be in switzerland next year. hopefully, i will be in switzerland next ear. ii 4, hopefully, i will be in switzerland next ear. i, ,, , hopefully, i will be in switzerland next ear. i, , i next year. thank you, very much, charlotte gallagher, _ next year. thank you, very much, charlotte gallagher, live - next year. thank you, very much, charlotte gallagher, live in - next year. thank you, very much, i charlotte gallagher, live in malmo, and we will talk more about it in the remaining couple of hours in the programme. lots of politics about, sunday morning, sarah has some news for us. protest groups such asjust stop oil and palestine action could be banned in a similar way to terrorist

organisations under a proposal from the government's advisor on political violence. lord walney will recommend a new, separate, category for proscribing protest groups which routinely use criminal tactics or serious disruption to try to achieve their aims. our political correspondent harry farleyjoins us now. harry, why might these groups be banned? the argument that the lord is making is that prescribing or banning terrorist groups has limited their ability to commit crimes and he says that should now be extended to what he described as extreme protest groups. the government's political advisor and extremism, the recommendation will be made in an upcoming report that i have seen extracts of any says that organisations are persistently have a policy of committing crimes or serious disruption should face this new category of prescribing, or

banning effectively and singles out those two groups and say they face and is criminal tactics without the fear of consequences, but they say it will not affect their campaign. just stop oilfor the it will not affect their campaign. just stop oil for the government is endangering us all. it is with the home office right now and they are saying they will consider it and respond in due course. and news this morning about the new labour mp for dover natalie elphicke — tell us about that. this relates to herformer this relates to her former husband, charlie, jailed 2024 sexual assault. at the time, nathalie elphicke offered him public support and that he was an easy target because he was attractive, comments for which he has apologised. the allegation today is that she asked the thenjustice

secretary robert buckland if he could intervene in the case to move the date of the trial. apparently to avoid publicity of it because this is one of the first cases back after covid—19, in 2020 and she was worried there would be undue publicity. robert buckland has described this in the sunday times as a constitutional outrage and says she was told in no uncertain terms it would be completely inappropriate to speak to the judge. the spokesperson for nathalie elphicke says that she is complete nonsense and a spokesperson for the labour party says that totally rejects the characterisations of the meeting with the robert buckland and asked why it was not raised before she switched parties this week. israel has launched air strikes on several parts of gaza as it continues issuing mass evacuation orders to palestinians in the city of rafah. the israeli military says its troops have found

working parents in england can now apply for 15 hours of government—funded free care a week for children from the age of nine months. but there are concerns about a shortage of available places, and childcare providers say the government's hourly rate often doesn't cover their full costs, so parents can be charged extra. queen camilla has thanked nurses and praised their "wonderful work" on international nurses day. her majesty met patients and staff at the royal london hospital who are involved with roald dahl�*s marvellous children's charity, of which she has been a patron since 2017. during the visit, she asked them about their roles, their goals and praised the organisation. the duke and duchess of sussex will end their three—day tour of nigeria today with a visit to the country's most populous city, lagos. prince harry and meghan have been in the country to promote the tenth

did you take your dog? i think we might get quite a bit of response from people about this one. some pet owners say that a dog ban on beaches during the summer season is unfair. others, though, are fully supportive of the restrictions, not wanting uninvited guests tojoin their picnic. phil norton reports. # the sound of sunshine coming down — # the sound of sunshine coming down... i i # the sound of sunshine coming down... i , i, , # the sound of sunshine coming down... i i i, i, down... the sun is finally shining, and where — down. .. the sun is finally shining, and where better— down... the sun is finally shining, and where better to _ down... the sun is finally shining, and where better to head - down... the sun is finally shining, and where better to head than i down... the sun is finally shining, j and where better to head than the beach. 4—legged friends are very much part of the family. but here in sutton on sea, there is a dividing line. in summary, you can't take your dog is on the beach on this side of the line but you can on this side of the line but you can on this side of the line, and some people say all should change. claire is a dog owner and runs a dog exercise business nearby and says it is outdated, hard to enforce and

hello. this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sarah campbell. eurovision fans were taken an a rollercoaster ride last night, with many being left "dizzy" by the results, which saw switzerland's nemo take the crown, with their song the code. the swiss entry was trailed closely by croatia and france, but the uk's entry olly alexander came eighteenth let's have a look at the best bits of the show. welcome to the grand final of the eurovision song contest 202a.

they sing. # waterloo... they sing he has done it! switzerland have won

the eurovision song contest! we're joined now by the tv critic scott bryan. good morning. thank you for getting up good morning. thank you for getting up so early after such a late night! did you go to bed? fer did you go to bed? for clarification, _ did you go to bed? for clarification, i- did you go to bed? for clarification, i did - did you go to bed? for clarification, i did go . did you go to bed? ff?" clarification, i did go to bed. did you go to bed? for- clarification, i did go to bed. it was quite the buildup, what did you think about the show in the end, wasn't all about the music? i think about the show in the end, wasn't all about the music? i think the show went _ wasn't all about the music? i think the show went without _ wasn't all about the music? i think the show went without a _ wasn't all about the music? i think the show went without a hitch, - the show went without a hitch, probably to the relief of the ebu, the organisers. there were some of the organisers. there were some of the spoke out about peace without alluding to the amount of protesting that had been building up over the last week. we had some key spokes piece people,, who came —— some key spokes people, the finnish

contestant who came second last last year, but generally, there were a lot of people booing, in terms of the organisers, and how you revision has pulled itself off overall. when it comes to the music though, i think that the right person had an incredible performance, managing to get so many points overall, by nemo, a song about coming to terms with being binary and the staging, and they managed to project their voice very well and there was a lot of love for it leading into the competition. and then they dominated on the night. the competition. and then they dominated on the niiht. , ., competition. and then they dominated on the niiht. , . .,, on the night. the staging was phenomenal— on the night. the staging was phenomenal on _ on the night. the staging was phenomenal on many - on the night. the staging was phenomenal on many of- on the night. the staging was phenomenal on many of the l on the night. the staging was i phenomenal on many of the acts on the night. the staging was - phenomenal on many of the acts and olly alexander, singing dizzy,

whether you liked it or not, the staging was phenomenal. hunt! whether you liked it or not, the staging was phenomenal. and they started taking _ staging was phenomenal. and they started taking down _ staging was phenomenal. and they started taking down the _ staging was phenomenal. and they started taking down the staging - started taking down the staging while he was still on stage! i think the uk, they ended up 18th overall, and it could have been higher of course but it was still up where we were in the grand final last year. again, some questions in regards to the fact we did not get any public vote, so the two sets of votes,, the votes from the jury, but nothing came in the public vote. overall in the competition it was a really big field this year, many strong songs this year and last it was all about sweden versus finland, the year before ukraine was seen to be the nightly winner but i think that olly alexander was a wild card in the

competition and gave a good performance but did not impress viewers on the night itself. it viewers on the night itself. it struck me with the controversy preceding it, it was appropriate and switzerland, the country of ultimate neutrality was the winner on the night! israel attracted a lot of attention but did very well in the contest itself.— contest itself. they came fifth overall and — contest itself. they came fifth overall and there _ contest itself. they came fifth overall and there was - contest itself. they came fifth overall and there was a - contest itself. they came fifth overall and there was a lot - contest itself. they came fifth overall and there was a lot of| overall and there was a lot of discrepancy between the public vote and the jury vote and discrepancy between the public vote and thejury vote and an discrepancy between the public vote and the jury vote and an expert said it was the largest discrepancy that had between public and the jury vote in the last ten years, ever since they change the voting system. i think it resonated very well with the public vote but not with the jury the public vote but not with the jury vote, and i guess people will be speculating about why. however i think her reaction had mixed

reaction and graham norton reflected on the performance of eden golan an israel, in regards to the buildup, many calls for a boycott there but at the same time, the ebu, the organisers said it is a friendly competition between different countries and that israel were valid to go and participate within that. it will be in to see how we are this time next year as the competition has towards switzerland and whether this year, will be quite chaotic in terms of the normal eurovision. annie got the impression that many of the performers were quite stressed going into it —— and you, maybe next year they will feel

differently about whether they want to represent their country in case something like this happens again? i something like this happens again? i think there will be major questions aimed towards the ebu in terms of the communications around this. i think we had artists such as bambi, who has a reputation for ireland as being very local vocal about how they feel how they were treated throughout this. i think at the end of the day, you revision is how europe feels about itself and how we view each other and we would like to say it is not a political competition but you can sense that the relationship is inherently political and it is down to the fact how the competition will be able to move forward from it. it will be interesting to see, there have been many calls towards a boycott and whether that will go towards the viewing figures and will have the uk figures later this morning. in

regards to the overwhelming figure, normally it's surpasses 160 million and we will get a sense of that in the days and weeks to come. scett the days and weeks to come. scott brian, the days and weeks to come. scott brian. thank— the days and weeks to come. scott brian, thank you. _ talking about the women's fa cup final, and that is coming up on bbc one later. this will be significant because the trophy will have a new name on that, either manchester united or tottenham. tottenham, is the biggest game for them in the history. they have never reached a major final before. for manchester united, an opportunity to write what was wronged last year. it was such a fantastic family event at wembley stadium and i was there with so many girl football players and it was a really brilliant event. it is

so arsenal go to manchester united this afternoon knowing a win at old trafford is crucial, and their manager is full of hope: my my brain is always talking to the players, we are lifting the premier league. that is my brain is going at the moment, ifollow my brain league. that is my brain is going at the moment, i follow my brain are league. that is my brain is going at the moment, ifollow my brain are my gut and this is howl the moment, ifollow my brain are my gut and this is how i feel and this is how i want everybody to think and hopefully we can achieve it. at the other end of the table, nottingham forest look set for another season in the premier league despite losing 3—2 to chelsea. that's after the teams below them were also beaten. luton lost 3—1 at west ham, which means, save an unlikely goal difference swing, they'll be relegated instead. and burnley are definitely down after failing to get the win they needed at tottenham. they were beaten 2—1 in north london which keeps spurs hopes of a top four finish alive whilst burnley return to the championship after just one season back in the top flight. celtic are on the brink of another scottish premiership title after a 2—1win over rangers in the old firm derby. it was a day to forget midfielderjohn lundstram. celtic were already a goal up

when he put through his own net here. rangers pulled one back only for lundstram to then be sent off. celtic are six points clear at the top with a better goal difference and just two games to go. we are in a great place, we have taken the six—point advantage with two games to go, and we get an extra goal difference onto the scoreboard as well. so...but ijust said to the players but we're not over the line yet. we're in an amazing position, that was the opportunity we had today to win the game, to put us in that place. the players have done that. it was a night of celebration in cardiff. lauren price has become wales's first female world champion boxer after beating america's jessica mccaskill. price, who you might remember won gold at the tokyo olympics, is a former kickboxing world champion and international footballer, taking part in just her seventh professional fight. an accidental clash of heads in the fifth round saw champion mccaskill unable to continue beyond the eighth. as a result the judges

awarded price the wba, ibo and ring magazine welterweight titles on points. i was iwas an i was an eight—year—old gold ones and kelly inspired me for the olympics. if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. i said i had a great camp but this is years of dedication and hard work but if you put it in, you can achieve your dreams. and achieve anything. to cricket, where england's women have made a good start to their t20 series against pakistan. they were indebted to captain heather knight and danielle gibson who steadied the innings at edgbaston after the loss of four early wickets. england eventually posted 163/6 and that proved too stiff a target for the tourists who fell short by 53 runs. the second match of the three—match series is on friday. to rugby union, where leaders northampton saints have recorded

the largest home win in the history of the premiership after beating gloucester by 90 points to o — that's 9—0. they ran in m tries in total. ollie sleightholme completing his hat—trick here with a brilliant solo effort. the bonus point win seals their spot in the play—offs and keeps them top of the league. and saints are four points clear of saracens who beat in—form bristol bears by a1—2o at ashton gate. england second row maro itoje scoring two tries to boost their play—off hopes. bristol now need to beat harlequins next week and hope other results go their way. it's really tight at the top of rugby league's superleague with four sides on 16 points. wigan warriors are top on points difference thanks to a a8—6 win away at huddersfield giants. a hat—trick of tries from liam marshall and a brace from bevan french helping them dominate proceedings in west yorkshire. catalan dragons beat leeds 26—0 to go fourth. a superb round for rory mcilroy

means he's just one shot off the lead at the wells fargo championship in north carolina. he's a three—time champion at the tournament and was four shots behind leader xander schauffele after the second round but a bogey—free, ll—under par—67, leaves him right in contention ahead of today's final round. english 17—year—old phoebe gill has recorded the second—fastest time in history for an under—18 female athlete after running an astonishing 800 metres in belfast. in sweltering conditions, gill, from st albans, set a new european record, finishing nearly two seconds quicker than the previous record, which had lasted for 45 years, and shaving close to four seconds off her personal best. it puts her in joint second place in this year's world 800m rankings. the huge strength of british 800 metres running, though, means the teenager still faces a very tough task in securing a place at this summer's olympics. tadej pogacar has extended his lead at the giro d'italia

after winning stage 8. the two—time tour de france winner extended his lead in the race by four seconds after earning his third stage victory in eight days, and his tenth win of the season overall. he now has a lead of almost three minutes over rivals dani martinez and britain's geraint thomas. cameron norrie is through to the third round of the italian open in rome. he recovered from a second—set wobble to beat spain's jaume munar in three and will face the sixth seed stefanos tsitsipas next. yesterday morning, we told you about novak djokovic getting accidentally struck on the head by a bottle from the crowd in rome. well, he was taking was taking no chances when he came back to meet the fans — wearing a cycle helmetjust in case. the bump on the head didn't knock the sense of humour out of him!

northern and western scotland this afternoon. a fresher day, temperatures around 16 to 18 degrees. northern ireland has showers moving in. another thing and wales, one or two showers dotted around so quite isolated, not everyone will see those showers. sunny spells in between and fairly warm in the sunshine as well. temperatures could reach 27 in the southeast. cloudy skies across northern england to scotland with some showers continuing to move their way north. varying cloud elsewhere. overnight averages down to 11 or 12 degrees. as we go through next week it is going to be more settled, low pressure is going to be in charge of the weather and it will not be quite as warm either. here is that low pressure system moving its way as we go into monday morning. that will bring some rain towards the western areas and the pressure will drift north and east was through the west of the week. a few showers across scotland on monday but actually for many of us

especially towards central eastern areas not too bad on monday stop some sunshine and some fairly warm temperatures, 21 to 23 celsius. more cloud, outbreaks of rain, damages more like 15 or 16 degrees. that is the average for this time of year. cooler still penicillin files. through the rest of the week then, tuesday the rain will push further north, a fairly wet day across parts of wales, midlands, southeastern areas of england. some sunny spells in england. one or two showers. for all of us, the charities will have come down to about 11l all of us, the charities will have come down to about 1a to 18 degrees. it will still feel pleasantly warm i suspect because where the sun comes out it is still strong, so you will feel that. noticeably cooler compared to the last few days. for the rest of the week, this area of low pressure will continue to be around the united kingdom, it stays

unsettled, not raining all the time, just showery with those temperatures about 15 to 18 or 19 degrees. very different to the week them we have just had. flan different to the week them we have 'ust had. ., ., r' different to the week them we have 'ust had. . ., ,~' ., different to the week them we have 'ust had. . . ., , ., just had. can i ask a question? the northern lights, _ just had. can i ask a question? the northern lights, is _ just had. can i ask a question? the northern lights, is there _ just had. can i ask a question? the northern lights, is there any i just had. can i ask a question? the| northern lights, is there any chance for those who missed them the other night, can we see them tonight? there is. last night unfortunately the geomagnetic activity drop off as soon as it went dark. we didn't get to see it. but they are expected to go to see it. but they are expected to 9° up to see it. but they are expected to go up again into the severe to extreme category tonight and into tomorrow morning. the only problem will be tonight there is more cloud around and some areas there is some showers. but around and some areas there is some showers. �* , ., around and some areas there is some showers. �* ., . ., showers. but there is a chance? that is excellent — showers. but there is a chance? that is excellent news. _ showers. but there is a chance? that is excellent news. thank— showers. but there is a chance? that is excellent news. thank you. - showers. but there is a chance? that is excellent news. thank you. say i is excellent news. thank you. say across things _ is excellent news. thank you. say across things and sneak outside, you might see them. duh; across things and sneak outside, you might see them-— might see them. duly noted. thank ou. we will be back with the headlines at eight o'clock. now, it's time for

this week's episode of click. according to britain's biggest cancer charity, someone is diagnosed with cancer here in the uk every two minutes. despite massive progress, many treatments are still incredibly harsh and not always successful. however, we now have technologies like aland robotics which are helping us to discover more effective drugs — with fewer side—effects — quicker. one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime — one in two! for years, treatment has been centred around surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy,

sometimes a combination. cancer therapy has evolved over the last two decades, and particularly moving, shifting away from chemotherapy for every patient and for every cancer to personalised treatment. in some cancers, we have really made great progress. and 10, 15 years ago, melanoma survival rates — median survival rates — were around six to nine months. now, patients live, survive years. standard cancer therapies can be incredibly tough to go through. and one of the great new hopes for kinder treatment is immunothera py. that's drugs that work alongside your own immune system to kill cancer cells. scientists here at labgenius in southeast london are harnessing the power of robotics and ai. they're hoping it'll help them find new immunotherapy treatments and make existing ones better. there's a lot going on in here —

some of it by automated machines, some of it by people. that's right. so, the different thing about what this machine is doing, and what you might envisage or see happening in a normal lab, is all of the experiments have actually been designed by an algorithm. and all of the data you're using is your own data? that's absolutely right. and actually, that is a really, really key point. we want to build models that are predictive of certain biological features of interest, and the challenging thing for us is that data that's required to train those models, it doesn't exist anywhere in the public domain. but it's notjust these few machines i've seen. it's everything. eva is a smart robotic platform, synthesising, purifying and testing molecules using machine learning and the clout that comes with cloud computing. and this room is the final bit of the lab process, to make sure that the molecules are tested for purity, that they can withstand changes in temperature and, crucially,

that something has been created that can be produced at scale. labgenius says that with its unique approach, it's more likely to find high—performing treatments faster. and they have tested that claim. we took a molecule that's currently in clinical trials. it's an immunotherapy drug? it's an immunotherapy, that's right, currently in clinical trials. we took the one that's furthest along. and we said, "can we use this process to make molecules "that are any better than this?" we were hoping for a tenfold improvement in that molecule's ability to distinguish between healthy and disease cells. but what we actually found is that these machine learning models were able to deliver molecules with 400 times improvement in terms of their killing selectivity — so, really, orders of magnitude better. these are molecules that, as a protein engineer, you would never have sat down and designed yourself. and i think that's something that's really quite differentiated and special around this fusion of human ingenuity and machine intelligence. but they want to take this to the next level. cancer cells are densely covered in surface markers that distinguish them from normal cells.

and it's these markers that molecules developed by labgenius are targeting. they're called immune cell engagers. one part of the immune therapy is targeting a very specific cancer protein, or receptor. the other part is inviting t—cells tojoin the party and really attack cancer cells. so this is version two of targeted immunotherapy. it's a very pinpointed approach. you can attack much harder and with much less collateral damage. i particularly believe the preclinical development, which is now through companies like labgenius, is much more condensed, much quicker, supported by the right regulatory framework, much, much quicker. and it really, you know, historically, with drugs took ten years to be developed. it would bring us down to five years and even quicker sometimes. will we cure cancer? i think that's still an open question, but better

understanding of biology, a more targeted approach will help us getting most of our cancer patients surviving, with good quality of life, for many years to come. wow! it really does feel like we are getting there with these cancer treatments. i know it's always going to be slow progress, but this is another example of the power of big data. yes, and what really stuck with me from that day was the testing of drugs on healthy cells — because many experts have said to me the big challenge isn't creating drugs to kill cancer, it's developing tolerable drugs to kill cancer. right. of course. yeah. 0k. well, next, shiona mccallum has been looking at some new tech which could help to monitor cancer patients at home rather than in hospital. shiona: cancer has dominated lynn's life for the last seven years. you get ct scans, you've got mri scans, you've got blood tests, seeing the doctor, you've got

all these other tests and things. and it does feel, at the very beginning, that every day, there was another appointment coming through. it's exhausting, physically and mentally. you're just waiting and waiting and waiting. she spent a lot of time away from her beloved cat, sunny, getting chemotherapy and blood tests in hospital — something she's always found stressful. i don't like needles. i don't like having bloods taken. you can be waiting two hours for the results. if the analysers break or something goes wrong, it can be three, four hours before you get your results for the blood tests — sitting in that blood room, getting more and more anxious, getting hotter and hotter. by the time i would go into the chair, i would probably... you know, i do faint. but lynn has recently had access to a tech solution that she says has made a huge difference to her life.

when i did the training session, it was so simple to follow and to use. this is liberty, a device which allows lynn to do a quick finger prick at home instead of a full blood test at the hospital. you can do it the day before you have your treatment or the day before you go and see your consultant, when you want to do it. you've got that little bit of control over your treatment and your time. i can do my blood test and i can go and do something else whilst it's being analysed. and the one thing that i did like about it as well — i didn't have to keep going and being reminded that i had the cancer. the kit has been designed by health tech company entia and is the world's first remote patient monitoring solution for people undergoing cancer treatment.

the liberty has just had regulatory approval and is in the early stages of being rolled out to various hospitals. here at the christie in manchester, they were one of the first places to try out the tech. absolutely packed — an all—too—familiar sight in a hospital waiting room. if you could do the test at home, you'd be far more relaxed. you wouldn't be worried about the appointment times, the waiting rooms, particularly if you're feeling ill and tired. and it's just another worry for you, another anxiety whilst you're going through your treatment. what would it mean if you could do this process at home, using...? it'd be amazing. wouldn't have to get child care and wouldn't have to worry. you're more comfortable at home, aren't you? — you've got your home comforts. coming here can be quite scary sometimes. and reducing patients coming through the doors was one of the reasons this hospital took a punt on the tech. what we've done recently at the christie _ has actually positioned _ phlebotomy units around the region. so we now have 10 or 12 units around the region, _

what we call _ "bloods closer to home". so the patients - can book in themselves to have their blood tests, but it still means _ we have to staff those units in order for the patients to be able to have the blood tests. _ if the patients were able to simply get those blood tests done - or do them themselves at home, that would result - in significant efficiencies. and that's really important. we're not trying to distance ourselves from patients, i we're trying to make their lives easier. i and during the clinical trial, the medical teams found that the blood testing at home was just as good as in the lab. and then the next thing, of course, is, _ "how acceptable is doing the bloods at home to the patients?" _ and i'm very pleased to say thatj it's a highly acceptable approach to the patients thatl we've tested this in. they also found it easy to use. the results from the devices are easy to read. i can see the white blood cells, the neutrophils, the haemoglobin and the platelets all on the screen. and it meant a lot less of this — giving blood — which many patients find particularly difficult.

so, what is the ambition for this bit of tech? so, now that we've got regulatory approval, we're really actively engaged with many nhs centres across the country and really looking at new clinical use cases that this solution can actually be applied to. but it's not too onerous for them, is it? yeah, so everything that we've done at entia has been designed to offer patients a very simple journey. i mean, we are not trying to medicalise patients further. we're really trying to take them out of the hospital setting, placing them back in the community, in their homes, in the place that they really want to be, and to provide them then with tools that are very simple and intuitive to use. so it looks like there will be more patients like lynn who will get the chance to access the liberty. but given the volume of cancer patients across the country, mass adoption is still a long way off. ijust...fell in love with the machine, to be really honest with you, because it was just... it gave me a little bit of control back as well.

lara: and that's it for the i short version of the programme. full—length show can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye!

but when israel's eden golan took to the stage, it passed without incident and benjamin netanyahu said that her presence alone meant she already won. there were though jeers from some parts of the crowd. for eurovision organisers, always anxious to try to keep the event politics—free, there was a close eye on what was on stage. bambie thug has been asked word 'ceasefire' was asked to be removed from the irish contestant, in rehearsal, and in the end the performance was spectacular. for the uk's olly alexander, the performance of dizzy

was dizzying, and a cheer at the end, whatever the voters thought the uk's pride was intact. then the mysteries of eurovision voting began with booing and the politics of the evening leading to some last—minute changes of presenters. but it was soon apparent there was a runaway victor, switzerland, with the spinning, operatic the code, by nemo. the uk came 18th but after all the withdrawals and disqualification and protests, by the end, it feels very eurovision and very much switzerland's night. david sillito, bbc news, malmo. our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher is in malmo for us this morning. charlotte, the dust settling on the concert, but did the glitter and the glitz of the show managed to eclipse all that had gone before?

there was definitely a lot of glitz and glamour last night, but i don't think that that completely eclipsed the week that we have had here. it's been controversial, chaotic and at times yesterday we did not know of certain acts were going to perform and obviously the netherlands were disqualified but there was a point where we didn't know if ireland would perform and in the end it was nemo's night, the swiss artist with their incredible performance, they were the ones to be and did incredibly well with the international juries incredibly well with the internationaljuries and croatia, hugely popular right across europe. they came second. i think they were really disappointed. croatia have never won before and they wanted to take eurovision to croatia but they were pipped by switzerland. ollie i —— olly alexander, not a good night for him. he didn't amazing performance and ok with the juries but when the public votes came in he got zero from the public votes and a

lot of us watching that were feeling so sorry for him because he loves eurovision and has dreams of being in eurovision all his life so to get that result was incredibly disappointing but he can still be really proud of the performance because the arena erupted when he finished. . . because the arena erupted when he finished. ,, ., ., ., because the arena erupted when he finished. ,, . ., ., ., ,, finished. shaul -- charlotte thank ou. the finished. shaul -- charlotte thank you. the eurovision _ finished. shaul -- charlotte thank you. the eurovision entourage i finished. shaul -- charlotte thank- you. the eurovision entourage moves on to switzerland next year after their victory. on to switzerland next year after theirvictory. lots on to switzerland next year after their victory. lots of politics in their victory. lots of politics in the headlines and sarah has the main stories. protest groups such as "just stop oil" and "palestine action" could be banned in a similar way to terrorist organisations, under a proposal from the government's advisor on political violence. lord walney will recommend a new, separate, category for proscribing protest groups which routinely use criminal tactics or serious disruption to try to achieve their aims. our political correspondent

the start of the september term. it comes after two—year—olds started getting access to 15 free hours from april, and three and four—year—olds already qualify for up to 30 hours for week forfree. the plan is eventually to offer 33 hours to all under—five children but there are concerns they may not be enough places to meet demand. the department of education estimates that 85,000 more childcare places and 40,000 extra staff would be needed by september 2025 and even though the hourly rate paid to childcare providers is going up, some say it often does not cover overall costs, so parents can often be charged for extras like meals, nappies, and trips to help balance books. on average, people are paying £158 per week for a part—time place for one child, and that went up 7% since last year.

those costs are crippling families, especially when there are so many other costs have been rising leaving parents in a position where they cannot afford to work or not work. the prime minister said today's change delivers on a promise to oversee the biggest expansion of childcare in history. labour has criticised the plan as a total mess which it would look to reform but that it would honour the promises made in this expansion plan. marc ashdown, bbc news. we're joined now by neil leitch from the early years alliance. it represents many nurseries and childcare settings. good morning and thanks for talking to us. gieeh childcare settings. good morning and thanks for talking to us.— thanks for talking to us. given that staff are leaving _ thanks for talking to us. given that staff are leaving the _ thanks for talking to us. given that staff are leaving the sector - thanks for talking to us. given that | staff are leaving the sector because they are, in their view overworked and underpaid already, are your members going to be able to deliver this if all of a sudden there is a load of young children needing care? it will be a massive challenge, no question— it will be a massive challenge, no question about it and as you already alluded _ question about it and as you already alluded to— question about it and as you already alluded to we have a retention crisis —

and we are lifting the premier league. that is why my brain is at hand that is the way i want everybody to think and hopefully we can achieve it. at the other end of the table, nottingham forest look set for another season in the premier league despite losing 3—2 to chelsea. that's after the teams below them were also beaten. luton lost 3—1 at west ham, which means, save an unlikely goal difference swing, they'll be relegated instead. and burnley are defintely down after failing to get the win they needed at tottenham. they were beaten 2—1 in north london which keeps spurs hopes of a top four finish alive whilst burnley return to the championship after just one season back in the top flight. celtic are on the brink of another scottish premiership title after a 2—1 win over rangers in the old firm derby. it was a day to forget midfielderjohn lundstram. celtic were already a goal up when he put through his own net here... rangers pulled one back only for lundstram to then be sent off. celtic are six points clear

to cricket where england's women have made a good start to their t20 series against pakistan. they were indebted to captain heather knight and daniell gibson who steadied the innings at edgebaston after the loss of four early wickets. england eventually posted 163 for six and that proved too stiff a target for the tourists who fell short by 53 runs. the second match of the three match series is on friday. i thought they were really class in rebuilding the partnership and so just awesome to get a score to defend. figs just awesome to get a score to defend. �* , ., ., just awesome to get a score to defend. . , ., ., ., ., just awesome to get a score to defend. ., ., ., just awesome to get a score to defend. . , ., ., ., ., .«r defend. as a team how do you take that momentum _ defend. as a team how do you take that momentum into _ defend. as a team how do you take that momentum into the _ defend. as a team how do you take that momentum into the next i defend. as a team how do you take i that momentum into the next game? there were so many positives to hopefully take that momentum into the next game. still some learning to do for the group but i'm sure we will regroup for the next game. to rugby union where leaders northampton saints have recorded the largest home win in the history of the premiership. after beating gloucester by 90—0. that's nine zero.

lasted for 45 years — and shaving close to four seconds off her personal best. it puts her in joint second place in this year's world 800m rankings. the huge strength of british 800 metres running though means the teenager still faces a very tough task in securing a place at this summer's olympics. taday pogarcher has extended his lead at the giro d'italia after winning stage 8. the two—time tour de france winner, extended his lead in the race by four seconds after earning his third stage victory in eight days, and his 10th win of the season overall. he now has a lead of almost three minutes over rivals dani martinez and britain's geraint thomas. cam norrie is through to the third round of the italian open in rome. he recovered from a second—set wobble to beat spain's jaume munar in three and will face the sixth seed stefanos tsitsipas next. jack draper is out through despite battling hard against the world number four and defending champion daniil medvedev. he lost in straight sets 7—5, 6—4 in a match that last just under two hours.

yesterday morning we told you about novak djokovic getting accidently struck on the head by a bottle from the crowd in rome, well he was taking no chances when he came back to meet the fans. wearing a cycle helmet — just in case. the bump on the head didn't knock the sense of humour out of him! he has gone. maybe this was pre—empting my terriblejoke, which i did repeat an hour ago. and i had the same person who repeats a joke in our apart. that's why they call him novakjoke—avich. we were impressed by phoebe. each german 45 years ago...

there we go, added sports news. one to watch. we will be talking all things eurovision. and the northern lights. but the light show on eurovision was more impressive. there has been lots of controversy. you are at liverpool last year? liverpool was amazing, as everybody knows. there was a whole other element to malmo that liverpool didn't have and we will talk about that in a minute after we have talked about the light show, not the eurovision one. you mean the natural one? are we going to see it tonight or what? i know there was a lot of

disappointment last night, i have published an article on the bbc news website. explaining all that. because those levels will increase through tonight again into tomorrow morning, there is potentialfor it to be seen across the uk. however, cloud cover and the weather in general mayjust hinder the view of that northern lights tonight. but worth keeping an eye on things as we go through today into the early part of this evening. for today, it has been a fine start for many of us, we have some sunshine and look at those lovely daisies in oxfordshire. it is going to stay warm again for many especially towards eastern parts of the uk where we could reach 27 celsius. by the west there are changes in the weather today. showers moving in and these could be heavy and thundery this afternoon. still if you mist and fog patches across eastern areas but that will

clear away. across eastern areas but that will clearaway. let's across eastern areas but that will clear away. let's have a look at things at about four o'clock this afternoon. in the south—east of england, darkly dry with sunshine and temperatures up to 27 celsius. further west, this is where we have the showers. they are fairly well scattered but they could be torrential in places with those thunderstorms expected. sunny spells in between. sunny spells across northern england, northern ireland and the north—west of scotland. it will feel cooler in these parts compared to yesterday, by 2! to 2a degrees. tonight, showers. that will hinder things if you are looking out for the northern lights across northern england into scotland. showers and thunderstorms moving north and east woods. cloud around western and southern areas. clear skies elsewhere and overnight temperatures getting down to nine to 13 celsius. behind me, we have rain i3 celsius. behind me, we have rain that will move in for the start of the weekend as we go through the week, low pressure moving in making

things unsettled. it's not going to be as warm. the rain might not moving during sunday into tuesday linkedln with this area of low pressure. it will become more broken up, so showery for the rest of the week. monday, rain spread into northern ireland, wales, south—west england. elsewhere, one ortwo showers across scotland but looking largely dry with some sunshine. it will steal pleasantly warm. the temperatures will be getting up to about 2! to 23 celsius, but notably cooler where you have the rain in the south and the west, 15 or 16 degrees. fingers crossed the cloud stowaway this evening, so there of us who had to be up early we can see the northern lights. you might be less inclined to stay up late. everyone seems to think it was worth it. it will not be as good as friday

night. that was the best one. you have read my article. eurovision fans were taken on a roller—coaster ride last night, with many being left "dizzy" by the results, which saw switzerland's nemo take the crown, with their song 'the code'. the swiss entry was trailed closely by croatia and france, but the uk's entry olly alexander came 18th — let's have a look at the best bits of the show. welcome to the eurovision song contest 202a.

music. he has done it. switzerland have won the eurovision song contest.

we're joined now by two people who are sure to have been up watching the show. harry doyle is from liverpool council and helped set up eurovision last year. podcast host rob lilley—jones joins us from malmo. good morning. what was it like? good mornini. it good morning. what was it like? good morning- it was _ good morning. what was it like? good morning. it was quite _ good morning. what was it like? (limp. morning. it was quite the night, as you are well aware, this has been eurovision week unlike any other. never out of the headlines, but we finally got on television last night and it was quite the show. as you say, the united kingdom and olly alexanderfinishing say, the united kingdom and olly alexander finishing within the top half of the scoreboard with the music industry experts, but then receiving the dreaded no points from the public vote, which i am sure we will go on to talk about. but a fantastic winnerfor will go on to talk about. but a fantastic winner for switzerland, in nemo. they were in the first one in 1956 and the last winner was celine dion, so it has been a long time coming.

harry, you are heavily involved in the organisation of last year's eventin the organisation of last year's event in liverpool, did you have any sympathy with the organisers in malmo, knowing how much planning and organisation goes into it and some sense, overshadowed by what happened outside of the competition itself? good morning, last year was different_ good morning, last year was different circumstances, we had a fantastic— different circumstances, we had a fantastic time in liverpool, and celebrated some of that as well. but the organisers are malmo, we met with them — the organisers are malmo, we met with them as host city handover and they were _ with them as host city handover and they were a — with them as host city handover and they were a fantastic team and a beautifut— they were a fantastic team and a beautiful city. very similar to liverpoot _ beautiful city. very similar to liverpool. it has been a different field this— liverpool. it has been a different field this week for eurovision and matmo _ field this week for eurovision and matmo as— field this week for eurovision and malmo as well. but i think malmo can be proud _ malmo as well. but i think malmo can be proud of— malmo as well. but i think malmo can be proud of the host city duties they— be proud of the host city duties they perform this weekend. the show in they perform this weekend. the show ih itsetf— they perform this weekend. the show in itself was _ they perform this weekend. the show in itself was great, we had a great night _ in itself was great, we had a great night last— in itself was great, we had a great night last night. was in itself was great, we had a great night last night-— night last night. was it a great relief last night _ night last night. was it a great relief last night watching - night last night. was it a great relief last night watching it - night last night. was it a great

ryder, of course, the left—hand side means you are in the top half of the results. so it means we are doing something right with the music we are selecting, we know the experts enjoy it. he got back from ten different countries, and then there was something about the song that didn't stand out enough. we see in eurovision, songs are very marmite, you love them or you hate them. with the uk this year, may be that song was just a bit too in the middle. the uk this year, may be that song wasjust a bit too in the middle. we have seen the best any country ranked ollie in the public vote was ireland who ranked him to iii. we have to finish in the top ten teeth get any points at all.— get any points at all. there were some extraordinary _ get any points at all. there were some extraordinary vocal - some extraordinary vocal performances last night, particularly their winner, performances last night, particularly theirwinner, nemo. performances last night, particularly their winner, nemo. to be able to sing like that whilst spinning around and what looked like a large plate, is quite extraordinary?- a large plate, is quite extraordinary? a large plate, is quite extraordina ? , .,

today, even the music and madness of eurovision wasn't immune from arguments over the middle east. in gaza, thousands of palestinians have fled rafah, which israel still vows to attack — even though its international friends say "don't". there have been plenty of demos here too, but with america seeming to toughen its approach, what should the uk do? and this morning, more awkward questions for keir starmer about his brand—new defector mp. morning, morning — that question is on the foreign secretary's desk — and lord cameron is here

with us this morning. labour's jonathan ashworth joins us too.
