may have allowed a parasite to make its way into the water. it's not very good, is it? the fact they are giving water out is a start, i suppose. more needs to be done to address a �*crisis' in teacher recruitment and retention according to a report by mps. we catch up with margot — whose rare condition means she was born without eyes, as she's given a special braille artwork by a blind artist inspired by her story. good morning. it is a kitchen staple, but rising prices of olive oil could run your wallet dry. i will be taking a look. good morning, one win away from the premier league. leeds united are into a championship play—off final after a 4—0 win over norwich at elland road. frosty start, most of you will see
6:01 am
some sunshine, i will have your full forecast coming up. it's friday the 17th of may. our main story. thousands of residents in south devon have been warned they face having to boil tap water for another week while it's unsafe to use directly from the source. south west water says a faulty pipe valve in a field could have allowed a parasite to make its way into the network, infecting hundreds of people. aru na iyengar reports. the queue for bottled water stretched all the way down this road, 130,000 were handed out by south west water by 5:00 yesterday. we have got two children that have been ill last week because we're in the actual affected area, sort of high brixham.
6:02 am
just keep being keeping informed will be good just about where it's going, how long it's not very good, really, is it? i mean, the fact that keeping water out to start and i suppose people here are angry about what they say is a lack of clear communication. for over a week, people in the fishing town of brixham have been falling ill with diarrhea and vomiting. on tuesday, south west water said the drinking water was safe. but by wednesday there was a u—turn when tests showed water found near this storage site was contaminated. south west water said they'd found traces of cryptosporidium, a microscopic parasite which can be carried in water. the company said an air valve possibly contaminated with animal faeces could be the problem. we've identified that there's a damaged valve on part of our network, which could be the cause. we're doing further work to make sure we're absolutely confident that's the cause and the only cause. we're working through operational procedures. in the meantime, we're also doing further sampling to make sure we're really confident in that cause. it's told 16,000 households and businesses not to use tap water for drinking and brushing teeth without boiling and cooling it first.
6:03 am
jess blake was enjoying her holiday in brixham last week until she fell ill. you expect that when you go abroad to have to boil water and drink bottled water, but you don't expect it when you go on holiday to devon in your own country. so, yeah, i think the water board need investigating. some schools have been forced to shut. eden park primary was one of them. some pupils were allowed in, but only to take their sats exams and then leave. they've got no drinking water, so i totally understand that they've got to close. but it's it's not really an acceptable situation for south west water to leave the school in. south west water says it did deliver water to all schools and it's offered to pay £115 in compensation to customers. but its chief executive admitted the service had fallen significantly short of what customers should expect. it could be a week before tap water here is back to normal. arun iyengar, bbc news.
6:04 am
let's speak to our climate and science reporter who is in devon. morning, 22 confirmed cases but the ripple effects in the community seem to be enormous?— to be enormous? exactly, this is one of two water — to be enormous? exactly, this is one of two water distribution _ to be enormous? exactly, this is one of two water distribution points - of two water distribution points across the brixham area to 16,000 households. they were distributing water here until nine o'clock last night and are due to start again in aboutan hour. night and are due to start again in about an hour. but residents are already queueing round the corner to get their water supplies and make sure they get it in before work. they will be distributing water for what will be about a week while residents are under a boil water notice. last night we had an update from the local mp here who said he was very disappointed by the poor communication of south west water after some vulnerable residents reported not getting their
6:05 am
deliveries of water. he said he had a meeting last night with south west water and they assured him they would be doing well. we are expecting today, dedicated phone line to be set up for businesses so they can quickly receive compensation and also ask any questions. as you mentioned, we have 22 confirmed cases but there are up to 100 people who have reported symptoms to their gp. we are expecting to get updated figures today from the uk health security agency around this, but it is likely we will never get the full picture of how many residents have been affected, because there needs to be affected, because there needs to be a test for cryptosporidium in order to confirm there has been a case. as we have been hearing, some residents have been reporting symptoms for more than a week. the community here continues to be affected and probably will be for another week or two weeks. it probably will be for another week or two weeks. , ,., two weeks. it will be some time before we _ two weeks. it will be some time before we see _ two weeks. it will be some time before we see the _ two weeks. it will be some time before we see the full _ two weeks. it will be some time before we see the full picture. l before we see the full picture. thank you.

6:13 am
there we go. the little cat can be heard franticly calling for help, with the patrol officer making a lasso out of rope and hoisting them to safety. i think we could have heard the real kitten rather than you. i think there is a kitten somewhere loose in there is a kitten somewhere loose in the studio. i will check under the sofa just in case. many storm drains around here? no, we will check later. the image behind you is not creating the cute sign from me, but days like this often them blossom into crackers? good morning. we have a misty and murky start. this is the view in derbyshire just a few moments ago.
6:14 am
but that will clear. sunshine will develop and they will be one or two showers developing later but for most it will be a fine friday. 0ne most it will be a fine friday. one of the areas where the cloud as thick as this morning there could be light rain or drizzle and it will be a longer process to brighten up. it is across parts of yorkshire, north—east of england, the pennines and western parts of wales. the cloud will slowly start to thin and break but it could be a bit damp and that. eitherside, morning mistand fog particular to the south will gradually clear over the next few hours. sunshine will develop for most and a few showers over the grampians and the highlands. 22 degrees, one is part of the country today and we could see a few thunderstorms as well. sharp showers on the southern uplands and heading further south we could see some low cloud linger down those eastern coasts of north—east england but one or two lighter showers and certainly better day across parts of wales, midlands and east anglia compared with yesterday. into tonight, the
6:15 am
showers will quickly fade away but attention to the eastern counties where there will be sea fog rolling in and that will lead to foggy starts across eastern parts tomorrow. it will be a great day across eastern coast, most will have across eastern coast, most will have a bright day and saturday, showers most likely towards the south of the country and sunday, most of you will have a bit of sunshine and still feeling pleasant when the sun is out. local authority say they are facing growing demand and insufficient funding but the children's commissioner has described the situation as a crisis. charlie rose has the story. like all five—year—olds, freddie should be getting a full time education. but last year, a rare

complication from chickenpox resulted in freddie having a stroke. following the stroke he has a lot of fatigue. 0bviously he now has a brain injury, which has affected his emotional regulation. he can be quite this regulated, emotionally. 0ne quite this regulated, emotionally. one minute he is up here. the next he is down there. he did have a speech delay, but that has been exacerbated by the stroke. he was fully potty trained, he is sadly backin fully potty trained, he is sadly back in nappies.— fully potty trained, he is sadly back in nappies. sarah says his needs means _ back in nappies. sarah says his needs means he _ back in nappies. sarah says his needs means he is _ back in nappies. sarah says his needs means he is limited - back in nappies. sarah says his needs means he is limited to l back in nappies. sarah says his| needs means he is limited to 16 hours a week at his local primary school in stoke—on—trent. to access full time education he needs a legal document setting out the support he should receive. the process for getting the documentation should take no more than 20 weeks. but after playing for one full freddie lastjuly, the family are still waiting. i last july, the family are still waitinu. ., , last july, the family are still

6:18 am
1% of plans were issued on time. the average across england is just 50%. both essex and portsmouth council said there had been a huge rise in requests, as well as a shortage of educational psychologist. they said they were working to tackle delays. i showed my findings to robin walker, chair of the education select committee, a group of mps who scrutinise the government's work. your government, the conservative government which is overseeing this issue getting worse over the past five years? i issue getting worse over the past five ears? ., �* issue getting worse over the past five years?— five years? i don't deny there are challenges. _ five years? i don't deny there are challenges, but _ five years? i don't deny there are challenges, but it _ five years? i don't deny there are challenges, but it is _ five years? i don't deny there are challenges, but it is important i five years? i don't deny there are challenges, but it is important to j challenges, but it is important to recognise the government has increased funding both for mental health in the health service and for schools to deliver high needs. there have been investments. 0ne schools to deliver high needs. there have been investments. one of the things we called for on the education select committee is an audit of what resource every local authority has in this space. we want to make sure they have the resource they need. it to make sure they have the resource the need. ., , , , ., they need. it absolutely is a crisis. they need. it absolutely is a crisis- it _ they need. it absolutely is a crisis. it is _ they need. it absolutely is a crisis. it is shocking - they need. it absolutely is a crisis. it is shocking it - they need. it absolutely is a crisis. it is shocking it is - they need. it absolutely is a - crisis. it is shocking it is getting worse. — crisis. it is shocking it is getting worse, especially at a time of such a great _

6:20 am
water companies and last year shows they are collectively depositing 50% more sewage into the nation's waterways. the times, report big lenders reduce mortgage rates. the paper says three high st lenders have cut rates are more than 100 deals which could save customers hundreds of pounds a year. don't betray our royal mail says the daily mail. it leads with a report that the business secretary kemi badenoch is warning the bosses she will not allow a £3.5 billion sale to go ahead without guarantees on the postal services. an image for you this morning, these rare tiger cubs have been born at longleat safari park in vulture. another sound effect. they are equally cute. these are a week old and they are being nurtured
6:21 am
by their mummy. vts. keepers say the species is currently listed as endangered so visitors can see them in the summer. a couple of months for their privacy and they will have had their inoculations, so i guess it makes it more safe. mummy look very tired, unsurprisingly. gorgeous. you may remember a few weeks ago, we met an incredible little girl called margot — whose rare condition means she was born without eyes. since then the family have been overwhelmed with public support, including a visit from a renowned braille artist. 0ur reporter carla fowler went to catch up with them. exploring a world without sight. 18—month—old margot duffy moss from york was born with no eyes and no optic nerves, a rare condition called bilateral anatomy.
6:22 am
regular habilitation sessions help her to learn, but the smile says it all for margot, it's just fun. whilst she's thriving, there are ongoing surgeries to prepare her eyes for prosthetic implants when she's three. but a recent outpouring of public support has helped. it's been absolutely amazing and so heart—warming to have so many messages of support from people who have seen margot on the news and have heard about her story. you can go about your daily lives and you know you'll go in the supermarket and you know that everyone will be staring. but to actually be able to say openly, well, this is actually what's going on with margot and this is what life looks like. this is her condition. and to have people respond to that in such a positive way and in a way that raises awareness for children like margot and that face all kinds
6:23 am
of challenges has meant an awful lot to us. margot has just had another surgery and her parents especially asked to express their debt to the medical team who look after her. it's a huge team in the hospitals, in the nhs and they've done nothing but give the best kind of care. we can't thank them enough, and i'm sure she'll thank them when she's able to. the surgery itself is something that we're used to. for some reason, you never get used to someone _ for some reason, you never get used to someone putting margot to sleep. that always seems to be the worst bit, i think, for both it and the hardest bit. and now as she's been getting older, funnily enough, she's found the recovery a little bit more difficultjust because i think that she's a bit more aware of what's happening. i think we went through a stage of thinking that, oh, margot might not be able to do this, she might not be able to do that. but actually, we feel now that margot will be able to do anything that margo wants to do.
6:24 am
one person who heard her story on bbc breakfast was clark reynolds, an artist from plymouth who's come to deliver a special gift. something just hit me in my heart and it was like, i want to do thankj for that, for that young girl, - especially when i heard about 100 operations, one years old. and being an artist, - the only thing i could do for her was to create her name in braille, because that's- what i do. i'm a braille artist - and i have a duty of care to inspire the next generation of visual children, j to be creatives, to be artists, and just to be to be seen. margot, can you say thank you? she may not be sighted, but margot does have the world at herfingertips. carla fowler, bbc news. i tell you what, she has found her voice. she is a character. now to get the news where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the funeral will be held today of the teenager who died in a sword attack in east london two weeks ago.
6:25 am
daniel anjorin was killed near his home as he walked to school in hainault in an attack which also left four people injured, including two police officers. a crowd funding appeal has raised more than £150,000 for his family. a 36—year—old man has been charged with daniel's murder. london's newest operating theatres open today in a move hospital bosses hope will help cut waiting lists across north east london. the two new theatres at king george hospital in ilford will be set aside for planned or elective care like knee and hip replacements. it's hoped the new facilities will see close to 100 extra patients a week, as the hospital trust tries to tackle a backlog of around 6,000 cases. we've seen our waiting lists grow in the last couple of months by around 10%. this time last year, we had about 62,000 people waiting for an outpatient appointment orfor surgery — now it's closer to 68,000. so there's a lot of people
6:26 am
being referred to us for treatment. the great news about getting two new theatres is we can do around 100 extra operations a week for patients across north—east london so it's fantastic to be opening these kinds of facilities when we are under pressure like we are now. the rail operator southeastern has unveiled plans for new trains as it improves its rolling stock. it's investing in services linking london to dartford, gravesend, gillingham, sevenoaks and tunbridge wells. the company has invited a number of train makers to bid for the work to either build replacements or upgrade the current fleet. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on thejubilee line and there are severe delays on the district line due to a late finish of engineering work. now onto the weather with kate kinsella.
6:27 am
there may be one or two mist and fog patches further south this morning but they are going to bring back very quickly after a bright start. lots of sunshine through the afternoon, some cloud bubbling up, and the warm sunshine could spark one or two isolated showers. temperature is 21, warmer than yesterday, more sunshine around. 0vernight tonight, clear spells but low cloud, mist and fog feeding in from the east, becoming widespread on saturday morning, minimum temperature 10 celsius. tomorrow we have a front in the south which will bring showers which could be heavy but they were gradually clear waste breaking up the cloud in the afternoon so we see some sunshine or at least sunny spells, temperatures reaching around 20. towards sunday, a misty murky start to the day but the cloud should lift, showers
6:28 am
should fade and we should have a dry end to the day, with temperatures around 20. that's it. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. we've spoken a lot about rising food prices over the past year — and the impact on people's shopping habits. sometimes it is useful to look at one item in particular. yes, we're talking about olive oil. the healthier cooking product that we're told we should be eating more of. some people will be somewhat shocked when they see the price on the supermarket shelf. recent figures show that the average cost has gone up by nearly 39% in the past 12 months. that means that the average 500ml
6:29 am
bottle now costs just over £8. last year it was £5.78. you might have seen higher prices, thatis you might have seen higher prices, that is because those are averages. 0ur cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been taking a look at why prices have risen so quickly. while you might have spotted some shop prices beginning to fall, there's one staple that's been going sky high. olive oil. just picked up this 500ml bottle of olive oil that's in a plastic bottle and it's pretty much bob on the average price at the moment, which is £8.04 for a bottle this size, way more expensive than wine. it's no wonder they call it liquid gold. stop buying it. yeah, i'lljust buy the spray instead. prices have definitely spiked over the over the past year.
6:30 am
just even for a small bottle, it's like it can be up to, like, £5 expand. they call it holy oil in italy. someone who does know why it's costing more to make olive oil is claire. she and her husband, andy, own a little olive farm in southern italy. you harvest the olive using these. and sell the oil here in the uk. the weather's had a huge impact. it has got a lot hotter, over a0 degrees. in the high summer is normal now. the risk of a hot summer could be then fewer olives or smaller olives, presumably. that's right. in spain, two summers of droughts have had a huge impact. and they're europe's biggest olive oil producer. in greece, wildfires have roared through olive groves. and as well as the heat, claire and andy are facing a new disease. in italy, we've got these bacterial infections which has wiped out huge numbers of olive groves. we've had to invest in saplings of a variety that are more resistant
6:31 am
to it. 50 trees put in, which would be a lot smaller and obviously would take time to start producing. but that issue will continue to get worse over the next few years. the cost of picking and pressing are much more expensive too. net costs a good 30—40% more fuel prices have gone up, bottling and containers have all gone up. so tins are now probably, probably nearly double what they were a few years ago. and brexit rule changes mean andy and claire now have to ship the oil over little and often. in order to avoid the import tax, we have to ship small amounts. when i first started shipping the olives overfor under 100 kilos of olive oil, it would cost 100 euros. it's now 210 euros to ship the same amount. so it's more than doubled. so we might not be able to escape the high cost of a bottle of olive oil, but you can make it stretch further, make sure that you don't store your olive oil on a windowsill
6:32 am
or next to the hob or the oven because it goes off much faster with light and heat. lots of chefs also recommend cooking with a different type of oil and just using a high grade olive oil to garnish at the end. and some people even suggest storing whole olives in a cheaper oil to try and give it some of that flavor. another bad harvest this summer will keep prices high as olive oil slides from a staple to a luxury item. coletta smith, bbc news. some good advice to make your olive oil last longer. and some other store cupboard items are on the increase — with the price of sugar going up by 14% over the last year and cocoa up by nearly a fifth at 18.5%. but it's good news for some products — the prices of whole milk and butter have both decreased by more than 11%. interesting to see how events, as we heard, in greece and spain affect
6:33 am

6:35 am
he's posted the lowest score in pga championship history and equaled the record at a men's major — after shooting an opening round 62 at valhalla in kentucky he holed nine birdies in a sensational bogey—free round — which means he's nine under par at the top of the leaderboard with a three shot lead. it's just the fourth 62 at a major championship — the others were all at par—70 courses. valhalla is a par—71. schauffele, who is the world number three, is hoping to win his first major. rory mcilroy, who won his last major ten years ago — which was the us pga — is four shots behind schauffele. he started brightly, bit of a mid—round wobble, then came a sparkling second nine which saw him finish on an impressive five under par. and scotland's bob macintyre impressing as well. a bogey free round and five birdies taking him — like mcilroy — to five under par going into today's second round. the weigh—in takes place later in saudi arabia for one of the biggest fights in modern boxing history. tyson fury against 0leksander usyk for the world heavyweight title.
6:36 am
all four of the major belts are on the line for the first time ever and the winner will be regarded as the undisputed world champion. fury holds one belt and usyk the other three after taking them off anthonyjoshua. the ukrainian sat down with our reporter in riyadh, ade adedoyin. 0leksandr usyk is a master of his craft who's won every title in boxing. olympic champion, he dethroned anthonyjoshua to win the heavyweight titles. tomorrow night, he could make history by becoming the first man to hold all the major belts in the division this century. it's a big important for me. it's a big important for my family, for my country. it's a big event for ukraine. a lot of people from ukraine send me a message. "hey, come on, we support you.
6:37 am
you win. you are strong, you are animal." i say, stop, isay, stop, i i say, stop, i am isay, stop, iam notan i say, stop, i am not an animal. a playful and colourful personality. but behind the jovial exterior is a fierce competitor, deeply loyal to his country. here he is fighting a different kind of battle on the frontline, defending ukraine against the russian invasion. now, back in the ring, his normal arena of battle. he fights for a bigger cause. my power is my family, my wife, my children. my power is my people. ukrainian people. i really appreciate the support from my fans and ukrainian soldiers. so what of his opponent, tyson fury, the self—styled gypsy king who's waged a war of words against usyk over the past year? i think he is a good guy, good boxer, good opponent. i have only
6:38 am
respect for tyson fury. i know tyson play games first. one week usyk bad. one week usyk good. but i know what's going on. but for me, it doesn't matter. if on saturday night and they say the new undisputed champion of the world from ukraine, how would you feel? from ukraine, alexander is sick, i feel happy. and stage 12 of the giro d'italia's been won byjulian ala—philippe, the former double world champion taking the victory after riding away from his breakaway companion mirco maestri in the last few kilometres of the stage into fano... it's the first win for alaphillipe in almost a year — following his victory at the criterium du

6:41 am
we've won a lot of things withjurgen. he's took all our pain away for them, for them 90 minutes. he really gets the people of merseyside. he really does. i feel he is a scouser. hi, my name is dan shields. i'm the head chef at home—baked co—operative bakery in anfield and this is our klopp pie named in honour ofjurgen klopp. it's based around a kind of mixture of steak and ale, and meat and potato, but it's packed with those kind of german, almost pickled ingredients. so even though obviouslyjurgen's leaving the end of the season, which we are devastated about, particularly when we found out, we're going to keep on running the pie. the last couple years we found it's probably been a staple really of what we do.
6:42 am
i'm neil pooler, i live in formby, less than half a mile away- from jurgen in ulla. in february 2022, i had what'sj called a sudden cardiac arrest. in the period when i was in - hospital, somebody put something through our letterbox. it was a signed liverpool shirt - from themselves and the team squad. to me, it was a sign- of their kindness, if you like, i and their place within the local i community that they did something like that completely unprompted. it means a great deal. "dear steve, firstly, i hope you don't mind me writing to you. ijust want to get in touch to let you know that you're in my thoughts and in my prayers. my name's colette halliday. my connection tojurgen klopp, sadly, is through some personally tragic circumstances with the loss of my partner. stephen was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and deteriorated. a great friend of his, andyjohnson, approached the club and said,
6:43 am
"could you possibly do anything?" a little while after, out of the blue came this absolutely beautiful letter. we just all burst into tears when we read it because it was just beautiful. and i was so pleased that he got to see it because he died about three weeks later. "the managers, players, owners, directors, staff and supporters of this club," excuse me, "are all supporting you. and the best thing about this, i know, is what difference it can make. steve, we're all with you. you'll never walk alone. jurgen klopp." i think that's a measure of the man. unusual for somebody to come from outside the city and really get a flavour of what he needs to be doing. he will be missed massively. it's now two and a bit. years since my problem. if i see him, he's coming out i of his drive or he's driving past, he'll always stop and ask how i am. if you only meet him for five seconds, you feel as if you've known him for years.
6:44 am
a small window of opportunity for him tojoin us on the a small window of opportunity for him to join us on the sofa tomorrow! i think the directors are going to miss saying and now a clip from klopp. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. north—west england, around 25 millimetres, one inch of rain, around a third of the monthrainfall. it might not look great out there at the moment, quite misty and foggy in places this morning but the vast majority with a few exceptions will
6:45 am
see skies are brighten up with some sunshine, a few showers, not a completely dry day but for the areas i mentioned it will be a big improvement on what you saw through yesterday. at the moment we have high pressure to the west which will try to build in, low pressure roughly dominating but using. this front are brought to the rain yesterday and it has decayed a bit but it means parts of northern england, north and west wales will stick with lots of cloud, patchy rain and drizzle this morning, things will brighten up but it will stay a little gloomy in eastern coasts. a few showers dotted around central england and wales. in scotland we could see a few sharp showers but western scotland around 23 this afternoon, and strong sunshine wherever you are will make it feel warm. this evening and tonight, mist and low cloud and fog
6:46 am
rolling in from the north sea, extensive across the east into tomorrow morning, so these parts will be gloomy and we will see temperatures not drop too much, down to single figures in the north and west. but we are gradually starting to see the low pressure move away, still close enough for a few weather fronts on saturday, could be cloudy and damp in south—eastern areas. that cloud will move west and we could see sharp thundery showers in south wales in south—west england. the fog will linger in north—east coasts and there will be a few showers especially over higher ground but in the sunshine it will feel warm, warmest again in western scotland. a cooler day with a breeze down the eastern coasts. the breeze picks up in eastern coastal counties of england on sunday. a lot more cloud in the north and west of
6:47 am
scotland, a few showers around but england and wales for sunday are predominantly dry day, showers few and far between, temperatures 22—23, this time the warmest condition is probably in the west and south—west. will the dry spell last? certainly into monday. the high—pressure will be just about with us but low pressure across iceland and low pressure across iceland and low pressure in europe combine forces through the week so next week after a fine start with some sunshine, temperatures in the low 20s again, we will see showers crop up every now and again. but it will stay reasonably warm for the time of year. when it is 23 degrees in north—west scotland we know we are in business. the extreme weather we've been having here and abroad has left us with higherfruit and veg prices — making it harder to get our five a day.
6:48 am

6:49 am
country and i have been to see a community garden in hull. it's great, isn't it? can you get me a scoop full of the compost? planting out courgettes at this urban farm in hull. for hundreds of years, this was an active dock. but over the last decade, this industrial wasteland has been transformed into an unlikely but thriving community garden. we have got good, honest spuds in there. they are a really good easy win for grow in and getting people sort of growing food. everybody likes chips, obviously. but soon enough, you know, these will be up here and they'll kind of have a canopy over the bed, you know. martin's been involved for the last eight years training hundreds of volunteers. like the variety of veg that we have, we have a variety of people, lots of different people come and use the site.
6:50 am
we do a bit of work with local mental health charities and the probation service, the local rehab. so we kind of have people coming down, you know, in recovery from addiction, for example. if you weren't here, what would you be doing? nothing, just sat at home. there's quite a lot of people who come here who are isolated and hardly ever leave the flats. and it's beneficial for them. but it's certainly not the first time veg has been grown in unusual places. in 2007, west yorkshire started to see rhubarb popping up in railway stations, peas outside police stations, and herbs beside health centres. i'm a single mum and 16 years ago i was reminded about climate change and with some mates decided we'd start to grow food to share in very public places. we wouldn't ask for permission.
6:51 am
we'd just start a conversation. we call them propaganda gardens. as the food revolution called incredible edible grew produce for anyone to enjoy for free. we wanted to grow food in the place they call home. well, we grew in a graveyard that was not used any more. we grew in front of the police station and nobody got arrested. we grew in the health centre because we wanted to show people healthy food. we grow in the middle of estates, so we grew on the edges of a recreation field — anywhere where we knew there was soil that we could grow food in and then put some lovely signage that said, this is food to share. this isn't our food, this is everybody�*s food. and it kind of got people excited. and from there the story went and they started doing it all over the country. well, getting access to the land was the next challenge. so two years ago, a campaign was launched allowing people access to grow on public land. and hull has become the first place in the country to adopt the "right to grow".
6:52 am
i was frightened 15 years ago because of the impact of climate change on my child and my community. i'm even more frightened now. we will not be flying beans all over the planet. we will have issues on biodiversity. there will be some big issue and weather problems. it's just the right time to do it. hull is now leading the way. during the last two months, they've started planting veg patches in parks. this former dock in the heart of the city is really proving to be the perfect classroom. well, it is breakfast time so we need to try some salad. sophie set “p need to try some salad. sophie set up the project. what will we eat first of all?— first of all? this is a mustard leaf, spicy — first of all? this is a mustard leaf, spicy after _ first of all? this is a mustard leaf, spicy after the - first of all? this is a mustard leaf, spicy after the hot - first of all? this is a mustard i leaf, spicy after the hot weather first of all? this is a mustard - leaf, spicy after the hot weather we have had _ leaf, spicy after the hot weather we have had. you would not get it in the supermarket, is totally different. we have some sorrel and that is—

6:57 am
daniel anjorin was killed near his home as he walked to school in hainault in an attack which also left four people injured — including two police officers. a crowdfunding appeal has raised more than £150,000 for his family. a 36—year—old man has been charged with daniel's murder. london's newest operating theatres open today in a move hospital bosses hope will help cut waiting lists across north east london. the two new theatres at king george hospital in ilford will be set aside for planned or elective care like knee and hip replacements. it's hoped the new facilities will see close to 100 extra patients a week, as the hospital trust tries to tackle a backlog of around 6,000 cases. we've seen our waiting lists grow in the last couple of months by around 10%. this time last year, we had about 62,000 people waiting for an outpatient appointment orfor surgery — now it's closer to 68,000. so there's a lot of people being referred to us for treatment. the great news about getting two new theatres is we can do around 100 extra operations a week for patients across north—east london so it's fantastic to be opening these kinds
6:58 am
of facilities when we are under pressure like we are now. a refuse worker has had a lucky escape after a gas cannister exploded and flew out of the back of the bin lorry he was working with. the container narrowly missed tom conway's head when it shot out of the truck in marcia court in slough, after hitting the compressor. the borough council says the cannister had been wrongly left in a waste bin for collection. let's take a look at the tubes now: there are minor delays on the jubilee line and northern line. there are severe delays on the district line due to a late finish of engineering work and the metropolitan line is part suspended between chalfont & latimer and chesham due to a points failure. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. there may be one or two mist and fog patches further south this morning but they are going to bring back very quickly after a bright start. lots of sunshine through the afternoon, some cloud bubbling up, and the warm sunshine could spark
6:59 am
one or two isolated showers. temperature is 21, warmer than yesterday, more sunshine around. 0vernight tonight, clear spells but low cloud, mist and fog feeding in from the east, becoming widespread on saturday morning, minimum temperature 10 celsius. tomorrow we have a front in the south which will bring showers which could be heavy but they were gradually clear waste breaking up the cloud in the afternoon so we see some sunshine or at least sunny spells, temperatures reaching around 20. towards sunday, a misty murky start to the day but the cloud should lift, showers should fade and we should have a dry end to the day, with temperatures around 20. that's it, riz is presenting the radio london breakfast show this morning where she'll shortly be interviewing the shadow chancellor rachel reeves. we're back in half an hour see you then.
7:00 am
good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today: people in south devon have been warned they face having to boil tap water for another week — as investigators say a faulty valve may have allowed a parasite to make its way into the water. it's not very good, is it? do you know what i mean? but the fact they are giving water out is a start, isn't it, i suppose? more needs to be done to address a �*crisis' in teacher recruitment and retention according to a report by mps. one win away from the premier league — leeds united are into the championship play—off final after a 4—0 win over norwich at elland road. a bit misty and foggy for some this morning, as it will be for some eastern areas this weekend. but more sunshine around today and a fair bit
7:01 am
of sunshine to come over the next few days. i will have your full forecast. and bangers and smashed records — we'll meet the world's speediest sausage maker. it's friday the 17th of may. our main story. thousands of people in devon have been warned they'll need to continue boiling their tap water for another week after a parasite entered the supply. south west water says a faulty pipe valve could have allowed the contamination, which has so far caused 22 confirmed cases of crypto—sporidiosis in brixham. aru na iyengar reports. the queue for bottled water stretched all the way down this road, 130,000 were handed out by south west water by 5:00 yesterday. we have got two children that have been ill last week because we're in the actual affected area, sort of high brixham. just keep being informed will be good just about where it's going, how long. it's not very good, really, is it? do you know what i mean? but the fact they're keeping water
7:02 am
out to start and i suppose. people here are angry about what they say is a lack of clear communication. for over a week, people in the fishing town of brixham have been falling ill with diarrhea and vomiting. on tuesday, south west water said the drinking water was safe. but by wednesday there was a u—turn when tests showed water found near this storage site was contaminated. south west water said they'd found traces of cryptosporidium, a microscopic parasite which can be carried in water. the company said an air valve possibly contaminated with animal faeces could be the problem. we've identified that there's a damaged valve on part of our network, which could be the cause. we're doing further work to make sure we're absolutely confident that's the cause and the only cause. we're working through operational procedures. in the meantime, we're also doing further sampling to make sure we're really confident in that cause. it's told 16,000 households and businesses not to use tap water for drinking and brushing teeth
7:03 am
without boiling and cooling it first. jess blake was enjoying her holiday in brixham last week until she fell ill. you expect that when you go abroad to have to boil water and drink bottled water, but you don't expect it when you go on holiday to devon in your own country. so, yeah, i think the water board need investigating. some schools have been forced to shut. eden park primary was one of them. some pupils were allowed in, but only to take their sats exams and then leave. they've got no drinking water, so i totally understand that they've got to close. but it's not really an acceptable situation for south west water to leave the school in. south west water says it did deliver water to all schools and it's offered to pay £115 in compensation to customers. but its chief executive admitted the service had fallen significantly short of what customers should expect. it could be a week before tap water here is back to normal. arun iyengar, bbc news.

let's now speak to our climate and science reporter esme stallard, who's in paignton. it must be such an anxious time for the community?— it must be such an anxious time for the community? very much so. i am in broad sands — the community? very much so. i am in broad sands car— the community? very much so. i am in broad sands car pack, _ the community? very much so. i am in broad sands car pack, one _ the community? very much so. i am in broad sands car pack, one of _ the community? very much so. i am in broad sands car pack, one of two - broad sands car pack, one of two water distribution points within the bricks area. cars have been arriving all morning to collect their water from the pallets. they were distributing water until nine o'clock last night and they were meant to open at seven o'clock this morning, but in fact they open just after 6.10 after acute started around the corner and people wanted to get their water before work or before school. we know there are 22 confirmed cases here, but there are up confirmed cases here, but there are up to 100 people who have gone to their doctor with symptoms. it is expected we will get new figures
7:05 am
from the uk health security agency on that. but it will not show the full picture of what residents here are suffering, because unless you go to your doctor for the test cryptosporidium, you will not be picked up on the figures. we had an update last night from anthony magnum, the mp for this area. he said he was disappointed with south west water's lack of communication, particularly because those who can get water, there is a distribution point but they are vulnerable customers who were expecting water deliveries yesterday and didn't get them. we think they will be distributing water for at least another week, so residents unfortunately will be having to get on with having to boil their water for everything, making cups of tea to brushing your teeth. it is a massive inconvenience and for those who are sick, not a nice experience. you can imagine it is huge for the people living there. azmi, thank you in paignton in south devon. charlie

has a round—up of some other stories this morning including improvement in working conditions for teachers. a group of mps is calling on ministers to invest more money to recruit and retain teachers, as schools in england face worsening staff shortages. the education select committee says pay is a major reason why teachers are leaving the profession. 0ur reporter nathan standley has the story. advertisement: this is you, on your first day as a teacher. the government says there are more teachers in english schools than ever before. but a new report by a group of mps says even though there are more teachers, there is even more peoples, especially in secondary schools and colleges. the education select committee says recruitment targets have been missed, which has seen teachers taking classes outside their specialist areas. some schools have dropped certain subjects entirely. these are the subjects where the government missed its recruitment targets by the biggest margin in the last academic year. in physics, just over 17%
7:07 am
of the government's target number of new teachers started a postgraduate training course. modern foreign languages was 34%. in maths, which the government wants to be compulsory until the age of 18, the target was missed by more a third. but what needs to be done? the report says there needs to be more money specifically towards those subject struggling to recruit, as well as more advertising of the different routes into teaching. union bosses say more needs to be done. what we need to do is make sure we reduce the bureaucracy. make sure the flexibility and the love of teaching can come out and make sure our profession is highlighted as a place you can make a difference to young peoples lives and have an opportunity
7:08 am
to contribute back to society. the department for education says it has delivered on its commitment to pay all new starting teachers £30,000 a year. and it is taking steps to ease workload pressures. with a general election on the horizon, labour leader, sir keir starmer, says one of his top priorities if he were to become prime minister, would be teacher recruitment. for whoever lands the top job, they are going to have to look at the numbers and find the solution to how best recruit officials in slovakia say the prime minister robert fico is able to speak again, after being shot in an assassination attempt on wednesday. 0ur correspondent bethany bell is in the slovak capital bratislava. there is some cautious good news in relation to robert fico's condition, any more updates in connection with the attack itself as well? brute any more updates in connection with

7:10 am
policies. this was a man, the interior minister said, had attended anti—government protest. there is a strong sense of polarisation in society here and both sides of the political divide, they have been calling on each other to tone down the political rhetoric and call for calm as well as toning down campaigning in the upcoming eu election campaign.— campaigning in the upcoming eu election campaign. bethany, for the moment, thank— election campaign. bethany, for the moment, thank you _ election campaign. bethany, for the moment, thank you very _ election campaign. bethany, for the moment, thank you very much. - the funeral of a 14—year—old boy who died in a sword attack in north—east london is being held today. daniel anjorin was killed and four other people, including two police officers, were injured during the incident last month. 36—year—old marcus monzo faces several charges, including daniel's murder and the attempted murder of two others. he has been remanded in custody. tributes are being paid to a five—year—old boy who died after falling from a block of flats in east london. he fell from the upper floors of a tower yesterday morning.

the metropolitan police said the death is not being treated as suspicious. the russian president vladimir putin is on the second day of a two—day visit to china, and turning his focus to trade in the hope of getting a boost for his war economy. 0ur china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, is in beijing and sent this report. is vladimir putin in china trying to make up for the lost markets as a result of the war unleashed in europe. he is in a place which has had quite a history of russian architecture because ethnic russian people used to live there. there is
7:12 am
an iconic 0rthodox cathedral, a symbol of russian and chinese culture together. there he is walking around the streets to promote the friendship between the two. the talk of the war in ukraine won't be far away because he is going to a university that which is facing sanctions, because apparently it has been involved in developing weapons technology that the us is saying it has been stolen from the us. so there is talk of war and sanctions neverfar us. so there is talk of war and sanctions never far away in terms of this trip from vladimir putin to china. but he will be trying to at least talk up trade and hope the focus will be more on that rather than the war itself. sir paul mccartney has become the first billionaire musician from the uk, according to this year's sunday times rich list. the former beatle, who is now aged 81, increased his wealth following a world tour last year and the royalties gained when beyonce covered his song blackbird on her latest album.

two years ago, sir paul's total wealth was estimated at a mere £865 million. scientists in egypt have discovered a buried stretch of the river nile — which may solve the mystery as to how the pyramids were built. the 40—mile stretch of river — which was hidden beneath desert and farmland, according to a new study — could have been used to transport the giant stone blocks. could have been used? we don't know. dashcam footage has revealed the moment a lorry ploughed through a bridge barrier and was left dangling over a river in the us state of kentucky. the video shows an oncoming pick—up truck swerving into the lorry, causing it to veer

7:15 am
yesterday. 0ne midlands and wales through yesterday. one of the areas which will be a struggle to brighten up is part of north—east england and eastern side of the pennines. it will linger around the coast, lots of cloud at the moment, could be seeing some drizzle and the cloud thick enough in west wales folsom prison. dense fog patches which will clear the next three hours. sunshine will come through, a few showers crop up. further north, a very pleasant day for much of scotland but here some heavy showers and the odd rumble of thunder in the highlands and the grampians. but highest of the temperatures, 22, 20 three degrees. temperatures are running at about 6 degrees above average as far as maximum temperatures are concerned. a brighter afternoon for much of northern england, misty around the coast and further south, a few showers but not the intense and prolonged rain some of you experienced yesterday. 0verall, drier and brighter. tonight, fog will become an issue across eastern coastal counties, rolling its way inland as well. it won't be chilly
7:16 am
night, temperatures around 7 degrees but most in double figures into the start of your weekend. it will be a struggle to brighten up some of the eastern coast tomorrow. elsewhere more sunshine around generally, although the south will see a few showers and into sunday, sunshine and still feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine as well. it feels like we keep getting a blast of summer and in the showers return and then we are back again. it is called the british climate. it is, thank you. wise words. almost a week after the deadly flash floods in north east afghanistan, families are still searching for the bodies of their loved ones. the northern province of baghlan is the worst affected, where homes have been swept away and roads destroyed — and the number of casualties is expected to rise. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is in the region this morning.

i took her on my back and i got her to our house. most parts of her body were injured. shaken, muddied, but alive. zuleika is now recovering at a relative's. this is the first time her father has seen the family that saved her. and he is in here. would you like to meet him? how do you feel now meeting the people who saved your daughter's life? translation: i don't have anything, if i translation: i don't have anything, if! rive translation: i don't have anything, if i give them — translation: i don't have anything, if i give them the _ translation: i don't have anything, if i give them the whole _ translation: i don't have anything, if i give them the whole world - translation: i don't have anything, if i give them the whole world it - if i give them the whole world it will not be equal for what they did for us. 0ne corner of one village. those who did what they could to save others from the waters.
7:20 am
caroline davies, bbc news. 0ne one of the concerns over the past few days is what happens if the weather turns again. we did have rain last night, but speaking to those in the villages say they haven't been badly affected by there water. but there is a sense of urgency to get those who have not moved out of those areas in case there is a set of heavy rains and water can flow down from the mountain. speaking to charities, including save the children, they have said one of their major concerns about access to clean water and they tell me yesterday that if thatis and they tell me yesterday that if that is not resolved there could be a concern of diseases and further disease is coming to this area as well. a long term, there are major questions that this flooding raises. the un said this highlights how vulnerable afghanistan is to climate change. many people we spoke to here said that while they had seen some flooding before, they had never seen anything on the scale in their
7:21 am
lifetime. so still very big questions about what this sort of devastation and this weather can mean for afghanistan. caroline, thank you very much. it is the after—effects of a crisis like this, the ripples of felt for a long time. it is coming up to 7.22. you may have noticed at the moment in the supermarkets, extreme weather has been leaving shoppers facing higher fruit and veg prices. and there are moves now to try and get more people to grow their own produce. but it's not always easy, you may not have access to your own garden. fiona landon is at a community garden in cardiff. they may have some of the answers? absolutely, i am a cardiff salad garden and anyone can come and get involved and grow their own letters and take it home and eat it for lunch. i will show you what happens. chris and adrian have very kindly
7:22 am
picked lots. we have our big box of letters and once it has been cut, it comes along here and it goes here for a wash. it has a bath first thing and they have been doing this for seven years. we are in the middle of cardiff, anyone can come here. you can get involved and grow some lettuce. ijust put this in here and give it a nice wash. lovely and cold. nice little swim. 0nce here and give it a nice wash. lovely and cold. nice little swim. once it has been washed, put it back in and give it a shake. can you see that lovely shake. here we go. we will back it up. anyone can eat this. restaurants around the city in cardiff take this, there is some slightly drier lettuce. we put it on
7:23 am
the scales. don't worry, i have washed my hands... many times. we p0p washed my hands... many times. we pop it in here. 0ff washed my hands... many times. we pop it in here. off the scales and this goes to people, everyone who comes to volunteer can take this salad home. restaurants can take it, put a sticker on. it tells you what we've got, mustard leaves, celery and all that stuff. this is the way forward, so many people around the country are doing this in community gardens. but now the news, the travel and weather wherever you are watching this morning. hello, good morning from bbc london. the funeral will be held today of the teenager who died in a sword attack in east london two weeks ago. daniel anjorin was killed near his home as he walked to school in hainault in an attack which also left four people injured, including two police officers.
7:24 am
a crowd funding appeal has raised more than £150,000 for his family. a 36—year—old man has been charged with daniel's murder. london's newest operating theatres open today in a move hospital bosses hope will help cut waiting lists across north east london. the two new theatres at king george hospital in ilford will be set aside for planned or elective care like knee and hip replacements. it's hoped the new facilities will see close to 100 extra patients a week, as the hospital trust tries to tackle a backlog of around 6,000 cases. it's been a year since the government promised to make renting more secure for tenants by planning new laws. the renters reform bill intends to stop landlords evicting renters for no reason with just two months' notice. but campaigners say the legislation has been watered down and is taking too long. linn was evicted from her home after she complained to her landlord about damp and mould. he did absolutely nothing, he came and looked at it once and then he just told us to paint it
7:25 am
over, wipe it off. he kept saying that he was going to come and look at it with his dad, who was a construction worker i think, but he never did and then, yeah, just kind of said that it was fine. in a statement the government said, "we hope the renters reform bill will become law in the summer and it will ensure a fairer private rented sector for both tenants and landlords." let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the circle line, jubilee line and northern line. the district line is part suspended earl's court to wimbledon and the metropolitan line is part suspended between chalfont & latimer and chesham. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. there may be one or two mist and fog patches further south this morning
7:26 am
but they are going to burn back very quickly and elsewhere a bright start. lots of sunshine through the afternoon, some cloud bubbling up, and the warm sunshine could spark one or two isolated showers. temperatures 21, warmer than yesterday, more sunshine around. 0vernight tonight, clear spells to start but low cloud, mist and fog feeding in from the east, becoming widespread into saturday morning, minimum temperature 10 celsius. tomorrow we have a front in the south which will bring showers which could be heavy but they will gradually clear west breaking up the cloud in the afternoon so we see some sunshine or at least sunny spells, temperatures reaching around 20. towards sunday, a misty, murky start to the day cloud and fog should lift, showers should fade and we should have a dry end to the day, with temperatures around 20. that's it. riz is presenting the radio london breakfast show this morning. we're back in half an hour. see you then.
7:27 am
hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. let's return now to our top story... the contaminated water supply in south devon that's making residents ill. a faulty valve in a field containing cattle could have allowed a parasite to make its way into the water network. around 16,000 households and businesses in the brixham area have been warned they face having to boil tap water for another week, while it is unsafe to use direct from source. the uk health security agency has confirmed 22 cases of cryptosporidium so far. we're expecting an update on that figure later today. around 100 people have reported symptoms, including diarrhoea and vomiting, to their gp over the past week. south west water has been criticised over the time it took
7:28 am
to respond to the outbreak. this is what they've said in response to that criticism. so we acted based on the evidence that was available to us. on tuesday that evidence wasn't showing any confirmed indications of cryptosporidium in the testing that we performed. we received that confirmation overnight on tuesday night and therefore put in place as quickly as possible the boil notice in the early hours of wednesday morning. we apologise to all our customers in this area for the impact this incident is having on their daily lives. we are working as quickly as we can to fix the problem. let's speak now to local business owner, michael smith. you have a cafe and you are actually at the location where they are giving out water. first of all, tell us about the cafe, how has this affected you and your business? brute

7:30 am
it. but south west water really have not covered themselves in honour. apparently they knew there was a problem on monday and they haven't told us at all officially, we only discovered here at broad sands because we saw all the water being set up and our managers walked over and they were told that there are guidelines coming in, and all we have received is 24 litres of water and a piece of paper. not particularly good business communication.— particularly good business communication. ~ , communication. south west water tell us health is their _ communication. south west water tell us health is their priority _ communication. south west water tell us health is their priority and - communication. south west water tell us health is their priority and they - us health is their priority and they have been clear with communication telling people to boil water but i am guessing with your business model it is a bit of a nightmare because you would want to stop for a cold drink in this weather, many of your product you will not be able to serve, and also logistics, all the vehicles behind you, i understand

the play—off finals are on. yes, leeds will be keeping their fingers crossed. leeds united are one win away from an instant return to the premier league — they're into the playoff final after thrashing norwich city at elland road last night. leeds tailed off at the end of the championship season, leicester and ipswich automatically promoted. it was 3—0 before half time when georginio rutter crashed a shot in off the underside of the bar after a breakaway attack. championship player of the year crysenio summerville scored the fourth and final goal with little over 20 minutes to go in what was a one—sided second leg. the first game was
7:38 am
goalless, remember. it means that leeds will head to wembley at the end of the month for a chance to play top flight football again next season. they'll face the winner of tonight's second semifinal between southampton and west brom with that one goalless after the first leg. next to a stunning record—breaking round from amercia's xander schauffele. he's posted the lowest score in pga championship history and equaled the record at a men's major after shooting an opening round 62 at valhalla in kentucky. he holed nine birdies in a sensational bogey—free round, which means he's nine under par at the top of the leaderboard with a three—shot lead. it's just the fourth 62 at a major championship — the others were all at par—70 courses. valhalla is a par—71. schauffele, who is the world number three, is hoping to win his first major. rory mcilroy, who won his last major ten years ago, which was the us pga, is four shots behind schauffele.

he started brightly, bit of a mid—round wobble, then came a sparkling second nine which saw him finish on an impressive five under par. and scotland's bob macintyre impressing as well. a bogey free round and five birdies taking him, like mcilroy, to five under par going into today's second round. and stage 12 of the giro d'italia's been won byjulian ala—philippe. the former double world champion taking the victory after riding away from his breakaway companion mirco maestri in the last few kilometres of the stage into fano. it's the first win for alaphillipe in almost a year, following his victory at the criterium du dauphine back in june. he's now won a stage on the three major tours. tadaj pogacar retains the race leaders pinkjersey. he's nearly three minutes ahead
7:40 am
of the rest, including geraint thomas, who's third. and in the last hour it's been confirmed that brazil will host the 2027 women's world cup after beating a joint bid from belgium, germany and the netherlands in a vote at fifa congress. exciting stuff. it isa it is a 7:40am. weeping statues, healing relics, and divine apparitions — some have been recognised by the vatican to be credible and, in fact, miraculous — while others are judged to be superstition. well, the vatican is today releasing new guidelines on supernatural phenomena to help church officials report cases. 0ur reporter stefan jajeczynk has the story. the town of lourdes nestles in a valley at the foot - of the pyrenees... the virgin mary at lourdes and fatima. hugely important places of pilgrimage for the catholic church. there are sites like this dotted all over the world, where catholics believe supernatural phenomena like apparitions of mary, the mother ofjesus, have taken place.
7:41 am
but for every pilgrimage site, there are dozens of other sightings — apparitions, weeping statues and healing relics. but how does the catholic church decide which apparitions or supernatural goings—on are considered legitimate? while there is no department for the supernatural in rome, nearly 50 years ago, authorities there drew up a set of guidelines for bishops who were given the responsibility of deciding this. known as norms, they were written in latin and only translated in 2011 on the orders of pope benedict xvi, supposedly after an increase in the number of reported apparitions, and to avoid wider confusion. more than a decade on, this man, cardinal victor manuel fernandez,
7:42 am
who leads the vatican department responsible for religious discipline, has been charged with updating these guidelines. while the catholic church has been coy so far about what exactly will change, its thought the rise of social media and an increase in the potential for stories to go viral is part of the move. stefanjajecznyk, bbc news. with us now from watford theatre is danny robins, writer and host of radio 4's "uncanny" podcast which investigates chilling first—hand stories of paranormal encounters. there is a link between what you do and your investigations and what we are talking about in the catholic church because it is a leap of faith, something you choose to believe. what do you think will change to in terms of how it is defined by the vatican? i change to in terms of how it is defined by the vatican? i think it is really interesting _
7:43 am
defined by the vatican? i think it is really interesting as _ defined by the vatican? i think it is really interesting as a - defined by the vatican? i think it is really interesting as a student| is really interesting as a student of the paranormal, the first time in half a century that the church is updating its policy on the paranormal and there is a huge overlap between what i look at, the paranormal, and religion, trying to make sense of the universe, what happens when we die, the meaning of life. this is a response to social media. the last time they looked at this was in the 1970s. there had been an alleged apparition in egypt, apparently filmed on live television. this is the church trying to adapt and react and producing a checklist on whether these things are real. it means a lot and is important to the church because it sensible, rational belief comes from evidence and proof, so if you can prove in some way that believers feel comfortable with that these things might be real then it reinforces belief. but if they seem ludicrous, fraudulent or fake, reinforces belief. but if they seem ludicrous, fraudulent orfake, it detracts from the church. the church is trying to control the narrative

7:47 am
people with failed plays are tragic moments. this one was a wardrobe mistress who threw herself from the balcony. there is something oddly comforting when you are performing on stage people, the idea that there is someone here who has been there and done it before watching over you, is a comforting idea.

7:48 am
probably why the church are updating the guidelines. people want to believe. we live in an age of chaos, uncertainty, sadly death, covid, climate change and war—making as face mortality, so we crave a bit of magic, we want another world outside that and it is comforting sometimes. i was hoping something a bit when you it would happen behind you, like a seat would drop down or a door would open, but nothing happened. i hope somebody has spotted something. last time i was on breakfast a fridge exploded and disgorged its contents so i was hoping something like that would happen!— like that would happen! something about the human _ like that would happen! something about the human condition - like that would happen! something about the human condition where i like that would happen! something i about the human condition where we want there to be something beyond what can be proven to us. and you can listen to the new podcast series,
7:49 am
uncanny usa on radio 4 or on bbc sounds. anything to add to that discussion, matt? no. there is something where you get almost a ghostly figure in the fog of the sun is behind you as it starts to clear. there you go. you often see it from a plane as well when you look down on clouds below. a little bit of mystery. nothing mysterious about the weather yesterday. yesterday this was the scene in the highlands, beautiful and pretty warm. temperatures up to 25 and parts of the highlands are currently running five or 6 degrees above normal. contrast that image with what we saw across the midlands, parts of wales, north—west england. chucking it down yesterday.
7:50 am
in nantwich in cheshire we saw not far off of a month of rain in 12 hours. but there are some good news because there will be nowhere near as much wet weather today, still the chance of an odd shower but more of you will be dry with sunshine, after what has been a foggy start. low pressure in charge, this is the way the front which brought rain yesterday but it has decayed although leaving lots of cloud, particularly in northern england, the pennines east, patchy rain and drizzle extending into the north and west of wales. dense patches of fog which will clear in the next hour or so, showers dotted around, there could be heavy and thundery showers in the highlands, but most of scotland and northern ireland will be dry. wherever you get the sunshine it will feel quite warm.
7:51 am
into tonight, the showers will fade away this evening but we will see mist and fog develop in the north sea and rolling inland into eastern areas and even central parts tomorrow morning, but it will not be a cold start, a grey and misty one in the east. more wind coming from the north sea maintaining grey conditions. this weather front in southern counties causing cloud through the day, outbreaks of rain to begin with in east anglia and the south—east, some showers in the south—west. the odd shower elsewhere, fog around the coast in the east, but most of us with a dry day and warm in the sunshine. 23 possible in glasgow and loch lomond. sunday looks like it will be widely dry, more cloud in scotland so not as warm as it has been, but pleasant in the sunshine. a few showers, low
7:52 am
cloud close to eastern coasts, but much of england and wales will have a fine sunday and again feeling warm in the sunshine. here's a question for you. how many sausages do you think you can make in a minute? when gavin reynolds found out the guinness world record was 78, he knew he could do better than that. let's have a butchers. three, two, one.

our headlines today: people in south devon have been warned they face having to boil tap water for another week — as investigators say a faulty valve may have allowed a parasite to make its way into the water. it's not very good, is it? do you know what i mean? but the fact they are giving water out is a start, isn't it, i suppose? more needs to be done to address a �*crisis' in teacher recruitment and retention according to a report by mps. the man once dubbed the country's "kindest plumber" has his british citizen award rescinded after a bbc investigation revealed his firm faked stories of helping people as it raised millions in donations. may be a little bit misty and grey for some of you right now but things were brighten up and compared to the relentless rain of yesterday, only a few showers. many will stay dry. i will have the full forecast.

music and we'll talk to former all saint shaznay lewis as she releases a new album and prepares to play at glastonbury. it's friday the 17th of may. our main story. thousands of people in devon have been warned they'll need to continue boiling their tap water for another week after a parasite entered the supply. south west water says a faulty pipe valve could have allowed the contamination, which has so far caused 22 confirmed cases of crypto—sporidiosis in brixham. aru na iyengar reports. the queue for bottled water stretched all the way down this road, 130,000 were handed out by south west water by 5:00 yesterday. we have got two children that have been ill last week because we're in the actual affected area, sort of high brixham. just keep being informed will be
8:02 am
good just about where it's going, how long it's going to be. it's not very good, really, is it? do you know what i mean? but the fact they're keeping water out to start and i suppose. people here are angry about what they say is a lack of clear communication. for over a week, people in the fishing town of brixham have been falling ill with diarrhea and vomiting. on tuesday, south west water said the drinking water was safe. but by wednesday there was a u—turn when tests showed water found near this storage site was contaminated. south west water said they'd found traces of cryptosporidium, a microscopic parasite which can be carried in water. the company said an air valve possibly contaminated with animal faeces could be the problem. we've identified that there's a damaged valve on part of our network, which could be the cause. we're doing further work to make sure we're absolutely confident that's the cause and the only cause. we're working through operational procedures. in the meantime, we're also doing further sampling to make sure we're really confident in that cause. it's told 16,000 households

and businesses not to use tap water for drinking and brushing teeth without boiling and cooling it first. jess blake was enjoying her holiday in brixham last week until she fell ill. you expect that when you go abroad to have to boil water and drink bottled water, but you don't expect it when you go on holiday to devon in your own country. so, yeah, i think the water board need investigating. some schools have been forced to shut. eden park primary was one of them. some pupils were allowed in, but only to take their sats exams and then leave. they've got no drinking water, so i totally understand that they've got to close. but it's not really an acceptable situation for south west water to leave the school in. south west water says it did deliver water to all schools and it's offered to pay £115 in compensation to customers. but its chief executive admitted the service had fallen significantly short of what customers should expect. it could be a week before tap water here is back to normal.

owner of an for businesses. we just spoke to an owner ofan air for businesses. we just spoke to an owner of an air b&b and he said he never got any deliveries and is having to come everyday to make sure he has enough water for his gas. has already had some cancellations and it is worrying businesses it will affect their trade over the weekend. the local mp called a meeting last night to demand south west water do better. the lesson from this is that communication has not been good enough and they are hoping south west water will learn lessons from this so that if it was to happen again, that they be kept better informed. and ultimately, for those people suffering with cryptosporidium and suffering with diarrhoea and some of the sickness, it really isn't pleasant and they could be struggling for the next couple of weeks. aha, could be struggling for the next couple of weeks.— could be struggling for the next couple of weeks. could be struggling for the next coule of weeks. . ., , ., couple of weeks. a worrying time for the community _ couple of weeks. a worrying time for the community there, _ couple of weeks. a worrying time for the community there, thank - couple of weeks. a worrying time for the community there, thank you. - charlie has a round—up of other stories, beginning with the ongoing

crisis in teacher recruitment? that's right. a group of mps is calling on ministers to invest more money to recruit and retain teachers, as schools in england face worsening staff shortages. the education select committee says pay is a major reason why teachers are leaving the profession. our reporter nathan standley has the story. advertisement: this is you, on your first day as a teacher. the government says there are more teachers in english schools than ever before. but a new report by a group of mps says even though there are more teachers, there is even more peoples, especially in secondary schools and colleges. the education select committee says recruitment targets have been missed, which has seen teachers taking classes outside their specialist areas. some schools have dropped certain subjects entirely. these are the subjects where the government missed its recruitment targets by the biggest margin in the last academic year. in physics, just over 17% of the government's target number of new teachers started
8:07 am
a postgraduate training course. modern foreign languages was 34%. in maths, which the government wants to be compulsory until the age of 18, the target was missed by more than a third. but what needs to be done? the report says there needs to be more money specifically towards those subject struggling to recruit, as well as more advertising of the different routes into teaching. union bosses say more needs to be done. what we need to do is make sure we reduce the bureaucracy. make sure the flexibility and the love of teaching can come out and make sure our profession is highlighted as a place you can make a difference to young people's lives and have an opportunity to contribute back to society. the department for education says it has delivered on its commitment to pay all new starting teachers £30,000 a year. and it is taking steps to ease workload pressures.
8:08 am
with a general election on the horizon, labour leader, sir keir starmer, says one of his top priorities if he were to become prime minister, would be teacher recruitment. for whoever lands the top job, they are going to have to look at the numbers and find the solution to how best recruit and retain teachers. nathan standley, bbc news. the funeral of a 14—year—old boy who died in a sword attack in north—east london is being held today. daniel anjorin was killed and four other people, including two police officers, were injured during the incident last month. 36—year—old marcus monzo faces several charges, including daniel's murder and the attempted murder of two others. he has been remanded in custody. tributes are being paid to a five—year—old boy who died after falling from a block of flats in east london. he fell from the upper floors of a tower yesterday morning. the metropolitan police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.

8:10 am
does with china. so you can see he is trying to talk up the relationship. it also, he is in sales mode, he wants to sell more gas to this country because, following the invasion of ukraine, has lost all those markets in europe. he said that the strategic alliance in the energy sector would strengthen the relationship between russia and china and that it would guarantee china's energy security. china is already buying 40% more russian gas than it was, helping to p"°p up russian gas than it was, helping to prop up the economy of russia. but vladimir putin clearly wants even more russian gas to be pumped into here. the problem with getting russian companies, chinese companies to deal with russia as they are worried about secondary sanctions from the us because they will be accused of propping up the war effort in ukraine.— accused of propping up the war effort in ukraine. thank you very much. the us military says it

key to making sure a famine is avoided for the palestinians is reopening some of the land border crossings into gaza, particularly the rafah crossing on egypt's's border, which has been closed for over a week. israel says it is something that is needed to eradicate that well tacro battalion still operational in that facility. but the call to israel is to do whatever is possible to get that border crossing reopened so trucks can get in and deliver much needed food and fuel to make sure the palestinian refugees don't slip into famine. ., ., ., ,, palestinian refugees don't slip into famine. ., ., ., ~' , ., famine. for the moment, thank you very much- — sir paul mccartney has become the first billionaire musician from the uk, according to this year's sunday times rich list. the former beatle, who is now 81, increased his wealth following a world tour last year and the royalties gained when beyonce covered his song blackbird on her latest album.

two years ago, sir paul's total wealth was estimated at a mere £865 million. scientists in egypt have discovered a buried stretch of the river nile — which may solve the mystery as to how the pyramids were built. the 40—mile stretch of river — which was hidden beneath desert and farmland, according to a new study — could have been used to transport the giant stone blocks. fascinating. sometimes we like mysteries to stay mysteries. have a look at this... dashcam footage has revealed the moment a lorry ploughed through a bridge barrier and was left dangling over a river in the us state of kentucky. oh, my goodness. that is the driver at the top and the cam footage. that

is her bird's eye view. goodness me. that is terrifying for the driver, of course. the video shows an oncoming pick—up truck swerving into the lorry, causing it to veer through the barrier and hang 75 feet above the ohio river. to see it happening in real time... you can't imagine. that is what she saw and witnessed herself and was left in that dreadful circumstance. it is amazing she survived. nobody suffered serious injuries in the incident. a really delicate rescue operation, which thankfully was a success. always wear your seat belt. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. a lot of dry weather to come this
8:15 am
weekend for many. although this morning it is grey and misty. this is the view a short while ago in starborough, the fog horns blaring away, all very eerie out there. more mist and sea fog to come around eastern coasts this weekend. something to be wary of. for many, that will clear mist and fog that is around at the moment, lots of sunshine as well. a few showers around, the odd heavy one, as i will show you. where the cloud is thickest it is linked to the weather front from yesterday. into northern and west wales, thick enough or if you spot of light rain and drizzle but for most it is a dry commute. the fog in the south will clear sunny spells were developed and a few showers will get going. not as much fog further north, some around the murray coast, but that will live. across the grampians and highlands, chance for heavy showers developing, only a few but this is the woman is part of the country, up to 23 degrees. always more cloud towards the western isles. northern ireland should be dry, but the
8:16 am
southern uplands could see a few showers and whilst it will brighten up showers and whilst it will brighten up for many in northern england compared with this money, mist and fog close to theirs eastern coast. sunny spells that the south and if you like showers but certainly not the persistent rain some of you experienced yesterday. tonight, here comes the mist and fog again around eastern areas, it will well inland. maybe as far as the midlands, towards the glasgow area as well. not too cold to the weekend, but misty and foggy around eastern coast. a few showers on saturday in the south, but sunday very few showers are most will have a dry and bright day and again, it in the sunshine. finally, thank you. we've been following the stories of those affected by the infected blood scandal, ahead of a key report from the public inquiry next week. more than 30,000 people in the uk are thought to have been infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products during the 1970s and 1980s. one of those people was dame anita roddick, the founder of the body shop, who died in 2007.
8:17 am
tim muffett reports. you don't really need it on your hair for more than sort of half an hour. the queen of green, as she was nicknamed by some. anita roddick was a pioneer of business and environmental causes. she opened the first body ahop in brighton in 1976. our whole image is no packaging whatsoever, the minimal amount of packaging. at a time when cosmetics were regularly tested on animals and laboratories, her cruelty free products marked a radical change, one that caught on in a big way. the body shop became a familiar sight on british high streets during the 1980s. l'oreal paid more than £650 million for the company in 2006. anita roddick died the following year, but eight months before her death, she revealed she had unknowingly
8:18 am
contracted hepatitis c in 1971 during a blood transfusion following the birth of her daughter, sam. more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hepatitis c and hiv after receiving contaminated blood in the 70s and �*80s. around 3000 people are thought to have died as a result. the calls for answers, justice and compensation have grown louder and louder. tim muffett, bbc news. anita's daughter, sam roddickjoins us now. thank you for coming and talking to us about something which must remain incredibly difficult. particularly at the moment when the inquiry is in the headlines day after day. is there a sense of relief this could come to some conclusion or is the fresh pain each time? it is come to some conclusion or is the fresh pain each time?— fresh pain each time? it is always like deeply _ fresh pain each time? it is always like deeply uncomfortable - fresh pain each time? it is always like deeply uncomfortable to - fresh pain each time? it is always like deeply uncomfortable to talk| like deeply uncomfortable to talk about this aspect of my mother's
8:19 am
life, because it is so unresolved. i don't think this inquiry is going to resolve the ongoing fight to clean up resolve the ongoing fight to clean up the supply chain from corporate crime and violence. but i hope it is a giant leap towards a different type of behaviour that is made permissible within business. flan type of behaviour that is made permissible within business. can you walk through — permissible within business. can you walk through the _ permissible within business. can you walk through the impact _ permissible within business. can you walk through the impact it _ permissible within business. can you walk through the impact it has - permissible within business. can you walk through the impact it has had i walk through the impact it has had on you and your extended family? it is quite compartmentalised for us, because essentially there is so much we celebrate about my mum's life. in a way it is buried because of the actual kind of harrowing trauma that it kind of put my mum through. so it is something we kind of, in a weird way, we want to bury but in another way, we want to bury but in another way we have a duty to speak out about. coming on here is really difficult, because it has an effect
8:20 am
after you know, i will difficult, because it has an effect after you know, iwill finish difficult, because it has an effect after you know, i will finish the interview and emotionally it will affect me. my mum was an extraordinarily brave person that championed life actually because she was afraid of death and then to find out that her life was kind of shortened in such a kind of brutal way was very traumatic for her. so thatis way was very traumatic for her. so that is really as much as i can say. sam, good morning, it is charlie in the studio. i think everybody listening to you will completely understand how deep this run is for you. if you don't mind, tell us of whatever you are comfortable with, can you tell us about yourjourney to knowing about what happened, about the scandal of what happened specifically to your mother and then learning more about so many more people who were affected? i learning more about so many more people who were affected?- people who were affected? i think the thing is _ people who were affected? i think the thing is is _ people who were affected? i think the thing is is what _ people who were affected? i think the thing is is what is _ people who were affected? i think the thing is is what is interesting i the thing is is what is interesting about this, it is a collective injustice, this isn'tjust about my
8:21 am
mother, this is about 30000 and more people. we have to remember the way they harvested the blood was actually a crime within itself. they used desperate people who were incarcerated pretty much in america, it is like indentured slavery. where they got the blood from is in equal horror to actually who they infected. ifeel like, horror to actually who they infected. i feel like, for horror to actually who they infected. ifeel like, for my mum, there is also a shame, hepatitis c and hiv had a social stigma attached to it. she was very clean living, she didn't drink, she didn't really eat fatty foods. my mum was super, super intuitive. i should imagine she managed her own health through this and conscious understanding that she wasn't that well. so i found out quite late in life and you know, in a way it was like invading her privacy, asking too many questions. but there is a deep,
8:22 am
tragic poetry to the fact that actually my mum championed corporate responsibility. she championed transparency within the supply chain. she wanted to eradicate kind of corruption, corporate corruption and show that business could be a vehicle for social good and change. there is this kind of brutal, poetic irony attached to the fact that she got infected, the fact that her life was cut short and actually, you know, it is like a weird haunting. her message still stands, that is what i mean, it is a haunting from the fact that she is no longer here but her message is still so vital. that makes a lot of sense. tell us about next week, we have spoken to a number of families like yours who have been affected and they are grappling with all sorts of emotions, including anger, bitterness and wanting something to come out of this at the end which gives them, i don't know, you tell
8:23 am
me, what is it you are looking for next week? some form of answers, what are you looking for? i next week? some form of answers, what are you looking for?— what are you looking for? i think the answers _ what are you looking for? i think the answers are _ what are you looking for? i think the answers are all _ what are you looking for? i think the answers are all there, - what are you looking for? i think the answers are all there, i - what are you looking for? i think| the answers are all there, i think the answers are all there, i think the accountability, like we know the decisions were knowingly kind of ignored, they make decisions that were actually illegal. if you talk about on a moral perspective, corporations are permitted to behave in ways that commit manslaughter and even murder but they are not really held accountable to. their finances are where we hold accountability to corporations like compensation packages. but they can recover from that so easily. we need to reframe what corporations are responsible for. this is happening across all industries, it is happening by poisoning the rivers in the amazon, deforestation and it is happening currently in a water system right now. corporate crime and violence
8:24 am
has to be accountable in the same way that civil society is accountable to their crimes. and thatis accountable to their crimes. and that is the step i'm hoping we get to on a collective level, that we see all of our crises, climate crisis is at the hands of bad industry, bad behaviour, bad decision—making. industry, bad behaviour, bad decision-making.— industry, bad behaviour, bad decision-making. industry, bad behaviour, bad decision-makinu. ~ . ., decision-making. what we hear time and time again _ decision-making. what we hear time and time again is _ decision-making. what we hear time and time again is about _ decision-making. what we hear time and time again is about the - decision-making. what we hear time and time again is about the very - and time again is about the very human impact, the scar is being felt by tens of thousands of families like yours. i know you have spoken in the past that it was via transfusion during childbirth, you've carried a gilt around about that and those scores will persist following the inquiry? the that and those scores will persist following the inquiry?— that and those scores will persist following the inquiry? the thing is, ou can't following the inquiry? the thing is, you can't equate — following the inquiry? the thing is, you can't equate the _ following the inquiry? the thing is, you can't equate the pain - following the inquiry? the thing is, you can't equate the pain that - following the inquiry? the thing is, you can't equate the pain that it i you can't equate the pain that it inflicts. the pain isn't encapsulated to a single death or a single infection. it affects our whole family orbit, the friendship
8:25 am
orbit, it affects so much in terms of its emotional impact, its psychological impact, the betrayal of trust. also the betrayal in institutional care. we look to our institutions as a way for us to function, but there is so much injustice at the hands of our institutional systems. so the effects that it has is a personal story, but only is it a personal story, but only is it a personal story, it is a collective story, it is a societal story, a civil story. i think it is important to recognise, like, you know, the pain it creates but it is also important to recognise the collective impact. sam, we appreciate your time this morning. you get a glass of water and have a cuppa tea is something now and we wish you well. i am sure
8:26 am
your mum would be incredibly proud. thank you. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. coming up. a whopping 85% of financial transactions are now made with one of these. we have had a whip around this morning. but with credit card complaints at an all time high, consumer champ matt allwright explains why how we pay really impacts our rights. gone are the days ofjust picking card or cash. i'm weighing up the pros and cons of credit vs debit, and if paying by cheque is back in fashion. using ourfaces to using our faces to unlock phones is becoming more common. this technology can catch criminals. presenter rebecca wilcox witnesses first hand how it helps, but at what cost to our privacy. also today... people are reportedly waiting years for hernia operations. we're finding out if you can

8:28 am
i'm victoria hollins. daniel anjorin's funeral will be held today. he died in a sword attack in east london two weeks ago. the 14—year—old was killed near his home as he walked to school in hainault in an attack which also left four people injured, including two police officers. a 36—year—old man has been charged with daniel's murder. london's newest operating theatres open today in a move hospital bosses hope will help cut waiting lists across north east london. the two new theatres at king george hospital in ilford will be set aside for planned or elective care like knee and hip replacements. the hospital trust has a backlog of around 6,000 cases. we've seen our waiting lists grow in the last couple of months by around 10%. this time last year, we had about 62,000 people waiting for an outpatient appointment orfor surgery — now it's closer to 68,000. so there's a lot of people being referred to us for treatment. the great news about getting two new theatres is we can do around 100
8:29 am
extra operations a week for patients across north—east london so it's fantastic to be opening these kinds of facilities when we are under pressure like we are now. a refuse worker has had a lucky escape after a gas canister exploded and flew out of the back of the bin lorry he was working with. the container narrowly missed tom conway's head when it shot out of the truck in marcia court in slough. the borough council says the cannister had been wrongly left in a waste bin for collection. as we walked back, put the bins back outside the properties, there was a loud bang, tom had his back to the truck, so we heard a loud bang and tom was about to run and i said to him, "stop," and, "duck." we were just scared, really, because anything could happen. so, yeah, it was pretty petrifying, to be fair. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on the circle, jubilee and northern lines. the district line has severe delays and the metropolitan line is part
8:30 am
suspended between chalfont & latimer and chesham. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. there may be one or two mist and fog patches further south this morning but they are going to burn back very quickly and elsewhere a bright start. lots of sunshine through the afternoon, some cloud bubbling up, and the warm sunshine could spark one or two isolated showers. temperatures 21, warmer than yesterday, more sunshine around. overnight tonight, clear spells to start but low cloud, mist and fog feeding in from the east, becoming widespread into saturday morning, minimum temperature 10 celsius. tomorrow we have a front in the south which will bring showers which could be heavy but they will gradually clear west breaking up the cloud in the afternoon so we see some sunshine or at least sunny spells, temperatures reaching around 20. towards sunday, a misty, murky start to the day but the low cloud and fog should lift,
8:31 am
showers should fade and we should have a dry end to the day, sunshine, with temperatures around 20. riz is presenting the radio london breakfast show this morning and taking your calls. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. we revealed yesterday that the firm run by a man dubbed "britain's kindest plumber" had faked stories of helping vulnerable people as it raised millions of pounds in donations. and now, james anderson, who ran the burnley—based social enterprise depher, has had an award for his community work rescinded. let's remind ourselves of the story. hi, ed from bbc news. really appreciate you speaking to us to give your side of the story. i didn't put that on. that's from depher�*s account. you 0k to be on this video or do

helping, and no doubt he has helped many people with free boilers, gas and electricity top ups, but those photographs were put onto social media and fundraising links were attached. we analysed and verified dozens and dozens of those social media posts and we found misleading posts, false posts, safeguarding issues relating to pictures of these vulnerable elderly people, hence this fall out and this british citizenship award being removed. you have heard from the charity commission who three times rejected applications for charity status. we heard applications for charity status. 2 heard yesterday from them, they sent as a statement and they said that three times, depher, james anderson's firm, tried to get charitable status, it is a community interest company, but it was rejected three times. rejected for

8:37 am
18—month—old margot duffy—moss from york was born with no eyes and no optic nerves, a rare condition called bilateral anophthalmia. regular habilitation sessions help her to learn, but the smile says it all for margot, it'sjust fun. whilst she's thriving, there are ongoing surgeries to prepare her eyes for prosthetic implants when she's three. but a recent outpouring of public support has helped. it's been absolutely amazing and so heart—warming to have so many messages of support from people who have seen margot on the news and have heard about her story. you can go about your daily lives and you know you'll go in the supermarket and you know that everyone will be staring. but to actually be able to say openly, well, this is actually what's going on with margot and this is what life looks like, this is her condition,
8:38 am
and to have people respond to that in such a positive way and in a way that raises awareness for children like margot and that face all kinds of challenges has meant an awful lot to us. margot has just had another surgery and her parents especially asked to express their debt to the medical team who look after her. it's a huge team in the hospitals, in the nhs and they've done nothing but give the best kind of care. we can't thank them enough, and i'm sure she'll thank them when she's able to. the surgery itself is something that we're used to. but for some reason, you never get used to them putting margot to sleep. that always seems to be the worst bit, i think, for both it and the hardest bit. and now as she's been getting older, funnily enough, she's found the recovery a little bit more difficultjust because i think that she's a bit more aware of what's happening. i think we went through a stage of thinking that, oh, margot might not be able to do this, she might not be able to do that. but actually, we feel now that margot will be able to do anything
8:39 am
that margot wants to do. one person who heard her story on bbc breakfast was clark reynolds, an artist from plymouth who's come to deliver a special gift. something just hit me - in my heart and it was like, i want to do something for that young girl, - especially when i heard about 100 operations, i one years old. and being an artist, - the only thing i could do for her was to create her name in braille, because _ that's what i do. i'm a braille artist _ and i have a duty of care to inspire the next generation - of visual impaired children, to be creatives, to be artists, and just to be to be seen. margot, can you say thank you? she may not be sighted, but margot does have the world at herfingertips. carla fowler, bbc news. a wonderful story and i remember when she was here, she attracts attention. she is wonderful. fine when she was here, she attracts attention. she is wonderful. one of those babies _ attention. she is wonderful. one of those babies with _ attention. she is wonderful. one of those babies with instant _ attention. she is wonderful. one ofj those babies with instant charisma. i think we will be hearing a lot more from her.

here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. a lovely image behind you, representing where we are at the moment. yes, this takes us into the weekend but after what was a horrendous day for parts of northern england, the midlands and wales, it will be a lot drier today, midlands and wales, it will be a lot driertoday, but midlands and wales, it will be a lot drier today, but still if you mist and fog patches eastern coasts. low pressure is stilljust about in charge, this weather front brought the heaviest rain yesterday, still lingering in northern england, north and west wales, so it is fairly murky with patchy mist and fog and a little drizzle which will break up through the day. sunny spells developing south of that, the odd isolating shower but nowhere near the down pairs —— downpours of yesterday. in the southern uplands and highlands that could be sundry downpours but we have the highest
8:41 am
temperatures they are, 23 this afternoon. warm sunshine elsewhere, cool if you have sea fog around eastern coasts. that mist and sea fog will be more prevalent tonight, rolling inland, a few showers in the south—west and south—east to start the weekend. a mild start tomorrow morning. tomorrow while high pressure is trying to move in, making things drier, there are a few weather fronts in the south to deal with. here we will have a few outbreaks of rain, heavy and thundery to the south—west. see fog lingering in north and eastern scotland and parts of england, but a dry and sunny saturday, and fairly warm. coolest on eastern coasts with the sea breeze, and where the fog lingers may be low teens, but elsewhere into the 20s, glasgow and loch lomond probably the warmest
8:42 am
round 23. sunday, dry, lingering fog in the east, more cloud for scotland, one or two showers, but england and wales with most of the sunshine, showers few and far between, and temperatures highest in wales and the south—west, 23 again. the weather is fair for the next few days. but towards the usa we had severe weather in the last 24 hours, particularly in houston, texas with wind and heavy rain battering the city. it is a big metropolitan area, wind gusts up to 100 miles an hour, equivalent to a category one or two hurricane, lots of flooding. a number of power lines have fallen, around 850,000 people without power yesterday evening. as it moved across the city it took out

planting and cutting lots of salad. we are in the middle of a park. pass me that salad, thank you. i will show you what happens once it is cut. we are in a park in the middle of cardiff, anyone can come in and volunteer, they can pick the salad, grow the salad, then take it home and eat it for lunch. once it is picked, it comes over to sophie who gives it a wash in the bath. can i tip this in? there is something so satisfying about this and then about this much? a bit more? what sort of salad? igrate this much? a bit more? what sort of salad? ~ . ., , this much? a bit more? what sort of salad?— we - this much? a bit more? what sort of salad?— we are - salad? we have all sorts. we are drainin: salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it— salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it and _ salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it and taking _ salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it and taking it _ salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it and taking it in - salad? we have all sorts. we are draining it and taking it in here i draining it and taking it in here for weighing and then it is packaged up. this isn't the only place doing
8:45 am
this, we are in cardiff but they are doing the same in the hull. it's great, isn't it? can you get me a scoop full of the compost? planting out courgettes at this urban farm in hull. for hundreds of years, this was an active dock. but over the last decade, this industrial wasteland has been transformed into an unlikely but thriving community garden. we have got good, honest spuds in there. they are a really good easy win for growing and getting people sort of growing food. everybody likes chips, obviously. but soon enough, you know, these will be up here and they'll kind of have a canopy over the bed, you know. martin's been involved for the last eight years training hundreds of volunteers. like the variety of veg that we have, we have a variety of people, lots of different people come and use the site. we do a bit of work with local mental health charities and the probation service, the local rehab. so we kind of have people coming
8:46 am
down, you know, in recovery from addiction, for example. if you weren't here, what would you be doing? nothing, just sat at home. there's quite a lot of people who come here who are isolated and hardly ever leave their flats, and it's beneficial for them. but it's certainly not the first time veg has been grown in unusual places. in 2007, west yorkshire started to see rhubarb popping up in railway stations, peas outside police stations, and herbs beside health centres. i'm a single mum, and 16 years ago i was reminded about climate change, and with some mates decided we'd start to grow food to share in very public places. we wouldn't ask for permission, we'd just start a conversation —
8:47 am
we call them propaganda gardens. as the food revolution called incredible edible grew produce for anyone to enjoy for free. we wanted to grow food in the place they call home. we grew in a graveyard that was not used any more. we grew in front of the police station and nobody got arrested. we grew in the health centre because we wanted to show people healthy food. we grow in the middle of estates, we grew on the edges of a recreation field — anywhere where we knew there was soil that we could grow food in and then put some lovely signage that said, this is food to share. this isn't our food, this is everybody�*s food. and it kind of got people excited. and from there the story went and they started doing it all over the country. well, getting access to the land was the next challenge. so two years ago, a campaign was launched allowing people access to grow on public land. and hull has become the first place in the country to adopt the "right to grow".
8:48 am
i was frightened 15 years ago because of the impact of climate change on my child and my community. i'm even more frightened now. we will not be flying beans all over the planet. we will have issues on biodiversity. there will be some big issue and weather problems. it's just the right time to do it. hull is now leading the way. during the last two months, they've started planting veg patches in parks. this former dock in the heart of the city is really proving to be the perfect classroom. michael has picked all of this this morning. if you work here is a volunteer you get everything for free. apart from the free salad, what do you love about working here? i enjoy coming to look at the outdoor— i enjoy coming to look at the outdoor scenery and learn how to pick salad — outdoor scenery and learn how to pick salad-— pick salad. and you find it delicious? _ pick salad. and you find it delicious? yes. _
