6:00 am
repeatedly by the nhs and successive governments. vindicated to some extent that we're not all crazy, we weren't making it up. sad that my brother isn't here to see this day because he never believed that it would ever come to a conclusion. a woman in her 50s dies after a dog attack in east london. police remove two xl bullys from the house. how parents are pinching on pocket money. less is being handed out for nothing — with kids charging for chores instead. we look at why it can pay to help kids save from being small. hannah cockroft has gold in her sight... we speak to the seven—time paralympic champion about a huge year ahead on and off the track.
6:01 am
good morning. it is a cold start in some parts of the north of the country, temperatures close to freezing. for many, it will cloud over with scattered showers developing and some of those will be heavy and thundery. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday 21st may. rishi sunak says the government will pay "whatever it takes" to compensate the victims of the the infected blood scandal. details of the scheme are expected to be announced later today. it's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. yesterday a public inquiry highlighted a "catalogue of failures" over many years, which it said had "catastrophic" consequences. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. cheering and applause. a moment of relief and joy after years of grief,
6:02 am
frustration and anger. sir brian langstaff delivers his findings to just some of the thousands of people whose lives have been touched by the infected blood scandal. outside, some of them reflected on a moment they've spent decades fighting for. it's what we all knew, what we all knew, we're now hearing. and so for me, that is justice. it is incredibly sad and hard that he's not here today. but i feel he'd go, "well done, we've done it". yeah, definitely. means so much, a0 years of fighting. i wish my parents were both here to be here with me, but they've passed on. but i hope they're looking down because it's for them and it's for him to have recognition his life did mean something? sir brian's five year investigation found that clinicians, blood services and hospitals and successive governments didn't put patient safety first. ministers were wrong to say that patients received the best medical treatment available at the time,
6:03 am
and to save face and expense, successive governments refused to admit responsibility, showing little interest in finding the truth, listening to those infected or taking action. the report prompted this apology from the prime minister. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by this scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry. those at the heart of the infected blood scandal are now waiting to see what ministers have to say about long—delayed compensation payments. it's a bit like christmas morning, you're waking up and you've opened the present, but it's not really the present you wanted. the one we really want is about the whole sort of compensation. the key test of this inquiry is whether it can achieve real, long lasting, fundamental change in the nhs, in the medical
6:04 am
profession, in government, so that a scandal as dreadful as this never happens again. dominic hughes, bbc news. another big day in parliament as we hear about that compensation scheme. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, an apology is one thing but trying to sort this out as a whole other challenge for the government? that's right, whatever it cost is what the prime minister said to a practically silent house of commons yesterday. we will not get much clearer direction of travel than that. we will get more details today. the expectation of what it will cost is upwards of £10 billion, a really extensive compensation scheme covering those notjust those
6:05 am
infected, but those affected, family members, parents and children, who had loved ones affected by what we now know and what the government is now know and what the government is now recognising as one of the great scandals of our age. in practical terms how that compensation will work will be set out by the paymaster general, john glenn in the house of commons later today. worth noting, some people, although campaigners say fat if you receive some interim compensation payments. i think i would expect more interim payments today while the compensation authority gets up and running. but the political pressure is there that the compensation authority will be set up as fast as possible. it is worth noting that in that long report by sir brian langstaff that was released yesterday, there was criticism for all governments for all sorts of things, but there was specific criticism for the specific government about what brian langstaff so as them dragging their heels on establishing this
6:06 am
compensation body. he thinks they could have done it earlier rather than waiting for the full report. in rishi sunak�*s statement yesterday he said he wanted to ensure something like this could never happen again. but when you see the scope of that report, which people in westminster are still digesting about the failings in whitehall, government and the nhs and so that will be a tougher task than the already difficult task of making this compensation work. difficult task of making this com ensation work. , compensation work. indeed, henry, for now, compensation work. indeed, henry, for now. thank— compensation work. indeed, henry, for now, thank you _ compensation work. indeed, henry, for now, thank you very _ compensation work. indeed, henry, for now, thank you very much - compensation work. indeed, henry, l for now, thank you very much indeed. we will bejoined for now, thank you very much indeed. we will be joined by people whose lives have been reen four ever. we have some of the victims and their families, alsojoined by andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester. but health secretary in the late 2009, 2010. let's get more of the news from
6:07 am
sally. a woman in her 50s has died after an xl bully dog attack at her home in east london. 0ur reporter paul hawkins is at the scene. paul what more do we know about what happened? just after one o'clock yesterday afternoon, police were called to this three bedroomed property behind me following reports that a woman had been attacked by two xl bullies. telly sent an armed response unit who took the two dogs away. emergency services attended the scene but the woman sadly died. we know she was in her 50s and significantly, the two dogs were it is a legal requirement, 50,000 xl bullies are registered according to the latest government figures. this is the first fatal case involving registered xl bullies. the police
6:08 am
took the dogs away and there has been no further update. if you have to register your excel bully, it has to register your excel bully, it has to be on the lead and muzzled in public. there is a deadline to have your dogs registered so and they have to be neutered. the investigation is ongoing and people here and the family are still trying to process what happened and they are supported by specialist officers. . ~ are supported by specialist officers. ., ~ , ., politicians in jersey will begin a debate today on whether to introduce an assisted dying service on the island. the proposals include allowing an assisted death for people who are not terminally ill, but have an incurable physical condition causing unbearable suffering. if the law is approved — the earliest it could come into effect would be 2027.
6:09 am
five days of mourning have been announced in iran following the death of president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash on sunday. ghoncheh habibiazad from bbc monitoring joins us now. what can we expect over the coming days? todayis today is going to be a funeral near where the crash happened in trabiz and there will be a funeral later today. although five days of money has been announced in iran, the only day that is a public holiday is on wednesday, and the main person at the funeral, ayatollah khomeini will play over the bodies of those in the crash. today we have seen the funeral is going to start in a few hours today in trabiz and on
6:10 am
thursday is going to be when the body of the president will be buried. when the major commander of the islamic republic died the turnout was nearly a million and at least 50 people died because of the overcrowding. so we are monitoring the situation closely.— presidentjoe biden has strongly defended israel — after the international criminal court's chief prosecutor said he was seeking an arrest warrant for israeli leaders, for alleged war crimes in gaza. karim khan kc is also seeking warrants for three hamas leaders. speaking at a jewish heritage month celebration at the white house, president biden said there could be no equivalence between israel and hamas. let me be clear we reject the icc�*s application for arrest warrants against israeli leaders... cheering and applause.
6:11 am
whatever these warrants may imply there is no equivalence between israel and hamas. cheering and applause. and it's clear israel wants to do all it can to ensure civilian protection, but let me be clear, contrary to allegations against israel made by the international court ofjustice, what's happening is not genocide, we reject that. in his final day of testimony at donald trump's criminal trial in new york, his former lawyer, michael cohen, has admitted to stealing $30,000 from the trump 0rganisation. mr trump denies falsifying accounting books to hide hush—money paid to the adult film actress, stormy daniels. microsoft has unveiled a new generation of windows pcs, which are the first to have built—in artificial intelligence tools. the co—pilot plus range includes ai features which can translate audio from more than a0 languages in real time and generate an image from a text prompt. there are calls for the uk's sewage
6:12 am
network to be urgently upgraded, to reduce the risk to health from human waste. a report by the royal academy of engineering — says increased investment and more green spaces in cities, would help bring down the likelihood of infections from bacteria and viruses. 0ur climate and science reporter esme stallard has more. it's one of the joys of summer — being able to cool off in the uk's rivers. but an ageing infrastructure and a growing population is raising the risk of infection from unseen organisms in the water, according to scientists. barbara evans, professor of public health engineering at the university of leeds, worked on the report. it's almost like the wastewater system did its public healthjob so well that we've had an intergenerational amnesia, if you like, that people have sort of forgotten that one of its primary focuses is to provide us with resilience from a health point of view and to protect us from epidemics and diseases and outbreaks of acute watery diarrhea and all of those things. the impact of contamination can be
6:13 am
serious, as residents in devon found out last week when the parasite cryptosporidium got into their water supply due to a fault in a valve in south west water's network. the company apologised and said it was sincerely sorry, but dozens of locals came down with diarrhoea, with some people ending up in hospital. the government has said it is already driving the largest infrastructure programme in water company history, but the authors were keen to stress that billion pound infrastructure projects like thames hydro wouldn't be enough. they said the government needs to look long term how we design our cities. instead of paving over our streets we need more natural landscapes like wetlands which can absorb the additional rain we can expect from climate change. they also recommended more data must be shared with the public about the quality of our rivers so they can keep themselves safe. water uk said public health was a major part of their upcoming investment programme. esme stallard, bbc news.
6:14 am
hundreds of dogs have scooped a new guinness world record — for the largest dachshund dog walk. you say that she found. what do you say? let's say sausage dog. they might have tiny legs, but it was no small feat for the 3a2 sausage dogs and their owners, who gathered in south—west london at the weekend. the event also raised £20,000 for animal rescue centres. notice how many are being carried. who did the walking there. guinness world records needs to check that. carol will love those pictures. they are so cute. more than i can
6:15 am
say about the weather. if you are about to step out it is relatively mild unless you are in the north. part of scotland with temperatures falling into freezing. it will be a murky start for many across eastern areas in particular with mist and fog around across northern ireland as well. a bright start, cloud building and scattered showers will be the forecast for the afternoon. you can see where we've got the sea for coming in off the north sea as we have seen over the last few days, she was pushing northwards with a few across northern england, through scotland and also northern ireland and some could be heavy and thundery and some could be heavy and thundery and the next batch of rain comes and across the southeast. some of that could be heavy and thundery. if you are off to the chelsea flower show, where packing a brolly. krait a cloudy afternoon for most and these are the temperatures, 21 around inverness, possibly 23 in the north—west highlands and 20 in cooler along the north sea
6:16 am
coastline. this evening and overnight, this band of rain continues to drift northwards and is wrapped around an area of low pressure and of getting across northern england, through wales and by the end of the night, into southern scotland. either side of it will be cloudy and showery and these are the overnight lows, nine to about 13 or 1a degrees. tomorrow, we still have the rain and it is wrapped around an area of low pressure and its exact timing and placement could change but this is what we think, it is likely to be heavy as well, potentially thundery and to the south of that, bright spells, sunshine and showers. a breezy day than today and temperatures lower than today as well. i love it when we have a bit of mist out, we know when carol says that, she means it. speak to you later.
6:17 am
an experimental treatment which combines electric pulses with physiotherapy has restored some movement in people paralysed from the neck down. a clinical study of 60 patients found that 43 showed some improvement in their hand movements. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has spoken to one of the first patients to take part. this patient lost most of the movement in his hands after he broke his neck 12 years ago. look what happens now when pulses of electricity are sent to the damaged area. wow! not all the patients showed this dramatic improvement. some didn't improve at all. three quarters of the 60 patients that tried it had some benefit. this is how it works. the brain sends instructions to move arms and legs through nerves in the spinal column. if there's a break, those signals are weakened. but the signals are boosted by electrical pulses from electrodes around the damaged area
6:18 am
when coupled with physiotherapy. so this is the device that the patients use. it sends pulses of high frequency electricity to these electrodes, which are attached to the patient�*s spine. and these are attached here and here. they're return electrodes to complete the circuit. tell me when you're ready. ok. go. melanie reid had her injury a long time ago in 2010. she could hardly use her left hand since then. but two months with the device combined with intensive physiotherapy, has led to small improvements that have made a big difference even without the device. i can undo my seatbelt with my left thumb. i can pick up small things. i use it for scrolling on a smartphone or a tablet. how significant a development is this? there are no miracles in spinal injury. pallab, you know that, there are no miracles.
6:19 am
but if this device is able to allow someone with tetraplegia to lift their arm, to put food in their mouths or to have a drink, that is life changing. melanie's doctor has helped test the device. she says it's not clear how much of the improvement is due to the physiotherapy and how much from the device. but dr purcell thinks that the electrical stimulation has certainly helped. at the moment there isn't any single drug or device that's been approved and is of clinical benefit to patients. this device has been proven to be safe and result in some benefit to chronic patients. so you've never known anything like it? i haven't, no, i haven't. the results published in thejournal nature medicine have been sent to regulators to see if they think that the treatment is safe and reliable enough to be used widely on patients in hospitals. pallab ghosh, bbc news, glasgow.
6:20 am
what a fascinating story. would be amazing if it did offer some long—term hope. for some people, yes. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily express... the results of the infected blood inquiry dominate the front pages. "this is a day of shame for the british state" it is on every front page this morning. the guardian quotes the inquiry�*s chair, sir brian langstaff, who said the scandal "largely, though not entirely, could have been avoided" but successive governments and others "did not put patient safety first". labour leader sir keir starmer has also apologised for his party's involvement. survivors of the scandal and their families are, of course, featured prominently across the front pages. the mail has a photo
6:21 am
of debra dennis, holding a picture of her husband barrie — who was one of the many victims. the paper says families are concerned that no one responsible will be held to account criminally over the scandal. the mirror features a call to "make the guilty face justice", alongside the pictures of 12 people who lost their lives after being given contaminated blood. there's been a very special addition to the chelsea flower show this year. we have got a picture, i think to show you which will put a smile on yourface. no, we haven't. there we go. it is a seedling. that is not a seedling, it isjudi dench. in her hands. the first seedling from the famous sycamore gap tree,
6:22 am
which was felled illegally in northumberland last year was planted by damejudi dench. the seedling sprung from seeds and twigs rescued from the tree — and was presented to damejudi by charlotte, a primary school pupil from hexham, not too far from where the tree once stood. it will eventually be grown at the national trust's plant conservation centre in devon. there are all kinds of plans to try and get a big tree back there one day. it will take a long time, but it is wonderful there is some kind of future for that tree. there is a really good question coming up now, are you ready for this? what is your approach to pocket money? difficult, isn't it? do you set a regular weekly amount? clea n clean the chimneys? not any more. money is tight in lots of households so maybe you are one of those parents who only hands it out in exchange for completed chores. nina is taking a look
6:23 am
at this issue for us. come on, what do you do, be honest? just hand over every penny i ever earned, that is what it feels like. emotional blackmail. totally. we do it, but it can be taken away, nina. mine are at the age where you make the promise and they forget. brilliant. i can get them to do the job. and then they remember and then they try and backdate it. i am not sure mine will ever be like that, i cannot see it happening but it is a big decision for parents. morning. there aren't many households at the moment who can hand out cash to kids. especially if they haven't earned it. data from one high street bank's pocket money app showed only 30% of kids were getting regular pocket money. though a few more, around a0%, were getting money in exchange for doing jobs
6:24 am
around the house. how much then? here's inflation for you — the average amount nationally is around £3.78 a week, but many kids are boosting that to around an average of £9.23 a week by doing chores, taking on paid work and selling their clothes online. pa rents a re parents are thinking of all sorts of ways of getting value for money from sticky, tiny hands as we found out from the sheet centre in bolton. i did get pocket money, but i do chores like watering the plants and i get £1 a week. chores like watering the plants and i get £1 a week-— chores like watering the plants and i get it a week-— i get £1 a week. every night when i read i i get £1 a week. every night when i readi aet i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p- _ i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so _ i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so for— i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so for a _ i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so for a week - i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so for a week i - i get £1 a week. every night when i read i get 50p. so for a week i get | read i get 50p. so for a week i get £3 read i get 50p. so for a week i get 5 50~ _ read i get 50p. so for a week i get 5 50~ i _ read i get 50p. so for a week i get £3 50. , ~ read i get 50p. so for a week i get £350. ., y ., ., £3 50. i get pocket money for doing chores, £3 50. i get pocket money for doing chores. helping _ £3 50. i get pocket money for doing chores. helping my _ £3 50. i get pocket money for doing chores, helping my mum _ £3 50. i get pocket money for doing chores, helping my mum around - £3 50. i get pocket money for doing | chores, helping my mum around the house _ chores, helping my mum around the house and — chores, helping my mum around the house and i— chores, helping my mum around the house and i get— chores, helping my mum around the house. and i get £2. _ chores, helping my mum around the house. and i get £2.

all in the interests of academia. we'll speak to one of the academics involved. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a woman in her 50s has been mauled to death by an xl bully dog at a house in hornchurch in east london. she was treated by medics from london ambulance service, but was pronounced dead at the scene. the met says armed officers attended and safely seized two dogs. it's been illegal to own the xl bully breed since february without an exemption certificate. a couple from south—east london says that sewage flooding from their toilet has caused over £100,000 worth of damage to their home and that it has "completely destroyed" their lives. the cause of the flooding, to the ground floor of the house, in chislehurst has not yet been found. thames water has apologised and says it is working with the owner to address the problem.

a residential block named after a man who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1959 will open today in kensington. kelso cochrane was attacked and murdered in notting hill while on his way home. his death inspired the first notting hill carnival to try and bring communities together when tensions were high in the area. now next month will mark 80 years since the d—day landings during world war two and to mark it one 98—year—old veteran is giving talks to primary school pupils. ken hay�*s preparing to make the journey back to normandy this june. before that he's given a special assembly at rush green primary in romford, a school he's developed an ongoing relationship with and is known by pupils as grandad ken. it's lovely, i sit on a chair and all these children are sitting around on the floor, they are wonderful. they are absolutely

6:31 am
of thunder on wednesday as well. staying largely cloudy, and the winds are strengthening through tomorrow. temperatures again reaching around 18 celsius. as we head into thursday, there is a chance of a shower. largely cloudy, perhaps drier the further through the day you get. but it is going to feel cooler, we have got a north—north—westerly breeze, the temperatures a little lower. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. the prime minister has issued a "wholehearted and unequivocal apology" to victims of the infected blood scandal. 30,000 people were given contaminated blood products in the 1970s and �*80s, in what's been described as the biggest treatment disaster
6:32 am
in the history of the nhs. later, the government will outline compensation plans for those affected. it follows the conclusion of a damning five year public inquiry which revealed an extensive and deliberate cover up, and detailed how victims were exposed to unacceptable risks. 0ur reporter sophie long spent the day with some of the families. all victims of this this terrible disaster. and the number one thing for me is this must never, ever happen again. there are too many people that have died. there are people that are still very sick. bob had a blood transfusion during surgery in 1973. more than a0 years later, he was diagnosed with hepatitis c. recognition, an apology from the building down the road here, is really the first thing that everybody wants, and to recognize that it should never have ever happened. the cover ups are awful, but for me, the biggest thing right now is an apology.
6:33 am
there's lots of similarities between the different families. people have lost sort of parents, children, loved ones. but there's also a sense of anger as well, because we've been lied to for so long. lizzie's mum, gina, had a blood transfusion after a miscarriage in 1978. 13 years later, she was told she had hepatitis c. she died in 2007, just months before lizzie's wedding. so sad, it is so sad that they're not here to see justice for themselves and to be around for, you know, like, the grandchildren and things. it'sjust terrible. we're making progress today with reading the report and finally starting to get a bit ofjustice. nothing will ever bring her back. i'm angry, i'm disappointed. the rhetoric that comes from parliament and from the powers that be is one of excuses. janet's brother paul was infected with hiv and hepatitis c by contaminated blood products more than a0 years ago.
6:34 am
he gave evidence to the inquiry in 2019. he didn't live to hear its findings. there's no amount of financial redress that can compensate for the loss of a life, the loss of a loved one, and the stress and the trauma that knowing what happened to him caused to the family and to all of the other individuals that have been affected and infected throughout this whole scandal. i think we just want to put it behind us, we want to be at peace, we want to be able to live safe in the knowledge that the truth came out and that the right people were held to account. finally, after decades of denials during which tens of thousands of lives were destroyed, the truth was delivered in seven volumes and more than 2000 pages. and it's quite sort of hard to read those things that have happened and the failings that that have occurred. it's all written down - exactly what's happened, what the recommendations are. so they have to now take action.
6:35 am
so i'm glad that it's here - but it is, it's a very hard read. it was, the inquiry�*s chair said, a calamity that could and should have been avoided, followed by a cover—up that was chilling in its implications. this disaster was not an accident. people put their faith in doctors and in the government to keep them safe and their trust was betrayed. tell us how you're feeling now. vindicated to some extent that we're not all crazy, we weren't making it up. sad that my brother isn't here to see this day because he never believed that it would ever come to a conclusion like this. # i want to sing, i want to shout...# it was incredibly emotional. it's one of those things that ijust don't know how you can forgive it. so in your body, itjust remains
6:36 am
there as just frustration. the way that the governments have treated these all of us in the past, it's been awful. they've just hidden things up, just covered them over, buried them. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by the scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry. as we all thought it would do, it has rocked them to their foundations and actually the only thing they can do is what he'sjust done. it's taken it to be written in black and white... yes, absolutely. to actually, you know, make that statement. and as we all know, politicians are very good at talking. now we need to see the actual action. i do believe that for some people, this is not the end. _ no, — of course it's not. for many of the people i that were truly wronged, this isjust another beginning.
6:37 am
we're joined now by solicitor dani holliday who represents some of those who've been affected. morning, dani. we spoke to you outside the inquiry as you were waiting to hear these findings and the report was in fact absolutely damning. do you and the victims you represent feel vindicated now? i think vindicated is certainly the right word. and having fought for so long, some of them have fought for decades, just to be heard, and to see what sir brian has written and that he has taken account of everything that they have said and put them front and centre of his inquiry, and they are very, very grateful to him and certainly feel vindicated by his findings at. we heard the prime minister rishi sunak

6:41 am
manchester united, david moyes could not keep that dynasty going. and it was not easy for unai emery in arsenal after arsene wenger. big shows to fail, but he has got the talent, his ability to mentor young players. pep guardiola says he is his idol. the incoming liverpool boss arne slot says the opportunity to work at one of the "biggest clubs in the world" was "difficult to ignore." he's highly rated after three very successful seasons with feyenoord in the dutch eredivisie, winning the league title last year. they were runners—up this season gone, and won the dutch cup. it's costing liverpool nearly £10 million in compensation and he's set to take charge from june the first on a three year contract. a new manager is incoming for west ham too. they're set to appoint julen lopetegui as their new boss later this week, taking over from david moyes. his cv includes the spanish national team, real madrid, sevilla and wolves in the premier league
6:42 am
for nearly nine months last year. chelsea women are set to announce lyon's sonia bompastor as their new manager replacing emma hayes who's off to take charge of the united states women's side. bompastor will lead lyon into the champions league final against barcelona on saturday, before heading to chelsea. it's parade time for those sides with something to celebrate at the end of the season. thousands of fans lined the streets of oxford for an open—top bus parade to celebrate 0xford united's return to the championship for the first time in 25 years after their win over bolton in the league one play—off final. it's a big year for paralympic superstar hannah cockroft, professionally and personally. she's defending her titles at the world championships at the moment and then
6:43 am
at the paralympics in paris later this summer. just three weeks after that she's getting married. she's been talking about world records and dream dresses with our reporter sally hurst. 202a has the potential to definitely be the best year of my life. world championships in may, paralympics in august, wedding in october. it is gorgeous, isn't it? hannah cockcroft is packing a lot into the next few months. dress shopping is a welcome moment to pause. we've got the venue, we've got the church, got the suits. you know what? we're doing quite well. it has actually been really hard to fit in planning a wedding into training, competing, travelling, but i feel like we're getting there. the wedding is three weeks after my last race at the paralympic games, so ask me again then, and it might be a different story! hannah got engaged to fellow wheelchair athlete nathan maguire after the tokyo paralympics in 2021. they live together and often train
6:44 am
together, but one place they won't be together is in paris because of strict accommodation rules at the games. it is strange, it's really quite old fashioned rules. so there's kind of male apartments and female apartments, and in a way it's nice, you kind of get there and it's a bit of a break, but ultimately when you're there to put in your best performance, nath is the person who knows how i react to things, he knows how i prepare for things. it'd be so much easier if we could just get on with what we normally do. the world champion, the paralympic champion, becomes the commonwealth champion. with 1a world titles and seven paralympic golds to her name, hannah doesn't need to compete at the world championships to get selected for her fourth paralympic games, but is keen to check out her rivals. do you still get nervous about your competition then? i'm always nervous before every race. i think if you're not nervous, then you don't care enough. people think it's really comfortable being at the front,
6:45 am
but it's actually quite lonely. you have no—one to kind of set the barrierfor you. you have no—one to tell you what you could do, you have to figure that out for yourself. you've got no—one to chase, everyone's chasing. how was it? setting targets helps calm the nerves. and right now in training, hannah and coach paul mosley are focusing on project 15, an ambition to break her own 100 metre world record and go under 16 seconds. the last year has been really good in the sense of then she's improved on her performances, so i'm encouraged with that. but hannah is absolutely determined in training and in the performances, so that makes my life slightly easier. i don't want to leave this sport wondering, what if i'd just done that or what if i tried that? i want to know that i tried everything and i got the quickest i could ever be, and i don't think i'm there yet. as for the wedding plans, at least there's one more thing crossed off the to—do list.
6:46 am
have you found your dream dress? i've tried on probably over 30 dresses and there were a whole range of different ones. i have found my dress, i've said yes to the dress! that was a lot of fun, i've really enjoyed it. a big summer ahead for hannah and of course at the paralympics this summer, she will be hoping to add to the seven gold medals that she has previously won. the seven gold medals that she has previously won-— previously won. exciting stuff! thank you. — previously won. exciting stuff! thank you, chetan. _ previously won. exciting stuff! thank you, chetan. carol- previously won. exciting stuff! thank you, chetan. carol hasl previously won. exciting stuff! i thank you, chetan. carol has the weather for us there. good morning. it is a murky start for some of us, low cloud, mist and fog around, a bright start but you will see the cloud will build through the day and there will be further scattered showers developing, some heavy and thundery. if you are about to leave the house, these are the temperatures that will greet you. a cold start in parts of
6:47 am
scotland and northern england, but generally in double figures. showery outbreaks of rain pushed north—west through the morning, scattered showers across northern ireland, some getting into wales and the south—west, heavier rain waiting in the wings later on. and fog across northern ireland, cloud building through the day, showers building, some could be heavy and thundery in south—west england and south—east england as the heavier rain starts to advance. a lot of cloud cover one or two scattered showers in northern england and northern ireland which could be heavy and thundery. some brighter skies across western parts of scotland to where we see the highest temperatures, some showers in areas, and still the haar, some lingering through the day but it will roll back in overnight where it does not. showers advancing through
6:48 am
wales, northern england and north midlands and by the end of the night into southern scotland. on either side of that, scotland, northern ireland and southern england and wales, cloudy with showers. this is what is giving us a headache and has been for the last few days. it is the timing and exact placement of this area of low pressure because that will have a bearing on where the rain is. it could still change but this is what we think at the moment. the rain will continue to push north and west, some will be heavy and persistent with the odd rumble of thunder, and to the south of that bright spells with some sunny spells and a few showers, a few showers in the west of northern ireland and on wednesday it is going to be br easier than today, temperatures down on today. you we are looking at 19 top temperature. thursday is pretty wet across
6:49 am
northern england and scotland, a windy day as well, this rain is heavy and persistent and the rainfall totals are really starting to mount up. for northern ireland and wales, it will be wet to start with but the rain is clearing and we are left with a cloudy day, and across the south of england again it is going to be largely dry with fewer showers but it is going to be a cooler day. temperatures 11 to 17, especially in the rain. if you think all is lost, if you prefer your weather warmer, all is lost, if you prefer your weatherwarmer, it looks all is lost, if you prefer your weather warmer, it looks like it will turn warmer after that. bank holiday monday at the moment not looking too bad. there i say it! that is something we don't hear very often! ., ., ., 4' that is something we don't hear very often! ., ., ., ~ ., ., taylor swift is arguably the biggest pop star in the world right now, and millions of fans or swifties are gearing up for her eagerly anticipated eras tour, which comes to the uk next month.

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london i'm tolu adeoye. a woman in her 50s has been mauled to death by an xl bully dog at a house in hornchurch in east london. she was treated by medics from london ambulance service, but was pronounced dead at the scene. the met says armed officers attended and safely seized two dogs. it's been illegal to own the xl bully breed since february without an exemption certificate. a couple from south—east london says that sewage flooding from their toilet has caused over £100,000 worth of damage to their home and that it has "completely destroyed" their lives. the cause of the flooding, to the ground floor of the house, in chislehurst has not yet been found. thames water has apologised and says it is working with the owner to address the problem. a residential block named after a man who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in the 1959 will open today in kensington. kelso cochren was attacked
6:58 am
and murdered in notting hill while on his way home. his death inspired the first notting hill carnival to try and bring communities together when tensions were high in the area. now next month will mark 80 years since the d—day landings during world war ii — the biggest invasion by sea in history.. to commemorate it 98—year—old veteran ken hay�*s given a special assembly at rush green primary in romford — it's a school he's developed an ongoing relationship with and is known by pupils as �*grandad ken.�* he'll make the journey back to normandy next month. it's lovely, i sit there on the chair and all these children are sitting around on the floor. they're wonderful, they are absolutely spellbound, they are all quiet and then at the end they already read the questions. so i said how do you end all wars? and granddad ken said, just love, he doesn't know any other answer. so if everyone loves one another, there'll be no wars in first place.

let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. minor delays that have popped up on the jubilee line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is a largely cloudy start this morning. we have lost yesterday's sunshine so the temperature is not going to be quite so warm. we are seeing showers coming up from the near continent, could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder in those heavy ones and later merging together to produce longer spells of rain. temperatures, 18 celsius. the wind light so those showers quite slow moving. as we head into this evening and overnight, we are going to be hanging on to those showers. the minimum temperature as a result of those showers and the cloud not dropping much below ten celsius. for wednesday, we can see the low pressure just starts to shift a little further north but spiralling around the outside, yet more showers and their showers again could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder on wednesday as well. staying largely cloudy, and the winds are strengthening through tomorrow. temperatures again reaching
7:00 am
around 18 celsius. as we head into thursday, there is a chance of a shower. largely cloudy, perhaps drier the further through the day you get. but it is going to feel cooler, we have got a north—north—westerly breeze, the temperatures a little lower. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: plans to compensate victims of the infected blood scandal will be set out by the government today. the prime minister promises to pay

"whatever it costs". on behalf of this and every government stretching back to thes 1970s, i am truly sorry. it follows a damning public inquiry report, which concluded that thousands of victims had been failed repeatedly by the nhs and successive governments. vindicated to some extent that we're not all crazy, we weren't making it up. sad that my brother isn't here to see this day because he never believed that it would ever come to a conclusion. a woman in her 50's dies after a dog attack in east london. police remove two xl bullys from the house. calls for a significant upgrade of the uk's sewage network, to reduce the health risk from human waste. good from human waste. morning. it is a cold start for

some good morning. it is a cold start for some parts of the north. many are starting off on a dry and bright note but it will cloud over with more showers developing, some of which would be heavy and thundery. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday 21st may. rishi sunak says the government will pay "whatever it takes" to compensate the victims of the the infected blood scandal. details of the scheme are expected to be announced later today. it's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. yesterday a public inquiry highlighted a "catalogue of failures" over many years, which it said had "catastrophic" consequences. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has more. cheering and applause. a moment of relief and joy after years of grief, frustration and anger. sir brian langstaff delivers his findings to just some of the thousands of people whose lives have been touched by the infected blood scandal.
7:03 am
0utside, some of them reflected on a moment they've spent decades fighting for. it's what we all knew, what we all knew, we're now hearing. and so for me, that is justice. it is incredibly sad and hard that he's not here today. but i feel he'd go, "well done, we've done it". yeah, definitely. means so much, a0 years of fighting. i wish my parents were both here to be here with me, but they've passed on. but i hope they're looking down because it's for them and it's for him to have recognition his life did mean something? sir brian's five year investigation found that clinicians, blood services and hospitals and successive governments didn't put patient safety first. ministers were wrong to say that patients received the best medical treatment available at the time, and to save face and expense, successive governments refused to admit responsibility,
7:04 am
showing little interest in finding the truth, listening to those infected or taking action. the report prompted this apology from the prime minister. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by this scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry. those at the heart of the infected blood scandal are now waiting to see what ministers have to say about long—delayed compensation payments. it's a bit like christmas morning, you're waking up and you've opened the present, but it's not really the present you wanted. the one we really want is about the whole sort of compensation. the key test of this inquiry is whether it can achieve real, long lasting, fundamental change in the nhs, in the medical profession, in government, so that a scandal as dreadful as this never happens again.
7:05 am
dominic hughes, bbc news. we should hear about the compensation scheme in westminster today. let speak to henry about that now. henry, the government said it will pay out whatever it takes to the victims. that could be a huge amount of money? it the victims. that could be a huge amount of money?— the victims. that could be a huge amount of money? it sounds like it is about £10 _ amount of money? it sounds like it is about £10 billion _ amount of money? it sounds like it is about £10 billion in _ amount of money? it sounds like it is about £10 billion in upfront - is about £10 billion in upfront government expenditure, as you say an lot of money but many people would think this awful case, this awful injustice merits it. rishi sunak yesterday gave a sombre, downcast apology to a near silent house of commons on behalf, notjust of his government, but every government which sir brian langstaff said had to grapple with this scandal. today, you get the substantive question of what the government is going to do about it and john glenn, the paymaster general is going to set out how that
7:06 am
compensation scheme will work. now we know this inquiry report yesterday had stinging criticism for every government that had presided over this, every government that had presided overthis, of every government that had presided over this, of both major political parties. it did, though, have specific criticism for this government for not having paid the compensation already. he said that perpetuated the injustice for victims. so i think when you get that compensation scheme today the government want to be seen to be compensating, notjust the infected but the are affected, their family members, fairly. it will also want to be seen to be doing so speedily at long last. to be seen to be doing so speedily at long last-— at long last. indeed, henry, thank ou ve at long last. indeed, henry, thank you very much _ at long last. indeed, henry, thank you very much indeed _ at long last. indeed, henry, thank you very much indeed for - at long last. indeed, henry, thank you very much indeed for now. - at long last. indeed, henry, thank| you very much indeed for now. we will bejoined on you very much indeed for now. we will be joined on the sofa during the programme this morning by some of those affected, asking them what they want to hear from the government in those compensation arrangements. sally has more news this morning.

a woman in her 50s has died after an xl bully dog attack at her home in east london. 0ur reporter paul hawkins is at the scene. paul what more do we know about what happened? the information from police is limited, but what we do know is that just after one o'clock yesterday afternoon police were called to this three bed property behind me in this leafy part of east london. they sent an armed response unit, such was the risk after reports that a woman had been attacked by two xl bullies. the officers retrieved the dog from the property but the woman sadly died at the scene. a woman in her 50s. dogs are being kept in a secure police kennel while a file is prepared for the coroner. that is all we know at the coroner. that is all we know at the moment. the significant thing about this attack is that these dogs were registered and under the new law all xl bullies have to be registered or they are deemed
7:08 am
illegal. this, we think is the first fatal attack by two registered trabiz, they have to be chipped, they have to be neutered, muzzled and kept on a lead in public. interestingly, there is a series of staggered deadlines, the first on the 30th ofjune for those dogs to be neutered. we don't know if they were, but latertoday be neutered. we don't know if they were, but later today we will get more information on the dogs and possibly the name of the lady. but the police and the family still trying to process what happened and the family is being supported by specialist officers.— five days of mourning have been announced in iran following the death of president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash. niko kelbakiani from bbc monitoring joins us now. what can we expect over the coming days? what more can you tell us about what might be happening in the coming days? might be happening in the coming da s? ., , .,

fishing boat sank off the southern coast of greece, while on its way to europe from libya. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake joins us from athens — what more can you tell us? we are at the courthouse and the right place are behind us because there are some demonstrations about this trial. nine egyptian men face life in prison if convicted and it is that they charge between a000 and 8000 us dollars so people could get a space on this boat, which, as we know, capsize. the trouble is, over the past year or so at least six survivors have told the bbc they believe these egyptian men were framed, they didn't do anything wrong and they were passengers as well. there is this accusation as well. there is this accusation as well we have heard time and again that the greek coastguard because the boat to capsize in this botched, very late in the day attempt to tow
7:11 am
it. it is something the greek authorities rejected, they said they didn't cause the boat to sink and they say there hasn't been any cover—up whatsoever. but the problem with this, human rights groups are saying they have grave concerns that the men on trial will get a fair trial. that is why we are seeing this protest, a lot of people focusing on this case and asking questions about whether justice focusing on this case and asking questions about whetherjustice will really be delivered in greece today. nick beake, thank you. microsoft has unveiled a new generation of windows pcs, which are the first to have built—in artificial intelligence tools. the co—pilot plus range includes a! features, which can translate audio from more than a0 languages in real time and generate an image from a text prompt. the princess of wales's early years foundation has urged businesses to do more to help parents of young children, by offering more flexible working hours or help with childcare. the princess remains away from public events as she continues her recovery

7:14 am
today and eased, but where it lifts it will come back into the course of the night as the rain continues to advance steadily northwards and westward. again, some of this will be heavy and potentially thundery. to the north of that band of rain and to the south they will be cloudy, showery and these are the overnight lows. nine to about 13 degrees. tomorrow, this band of rain, which is wrapped around an area of low pressure continues to push northwards and westwards. the timing of this may alter but this is what we think at the moment, so getting in across northern england, much of scotland, wales and by the end of the afternoon, fringing into northern ireland. to the south we are looking at a cloudy day for most and the chance of an odd shower. some share was getting into western parts of northern ireland and it will be a breezy day and temperatures will be slightly lower. carol, thank you.

there are calls for the uk's sewage network to be urgently upgraded, to reduce the risk to health from human waste. a report by the royal academy of engineering — says increased investment and more green spaces in cities, would help bring down the likelihood of infections from bacteria and viruses. 0ur climate and science reporter esme stallard has more. it's one of the joys of summer — being able to cool off in the uk's rivers. but an ageing infrastructure and a growing population is raising the risk of infection from unseen organisms in the water, according to scientists. the impact of contamination can be serious, as residents in devon found out last week when the parasite cryptosporidium got into their water supply due to a fault in a valve in south west water's network. the company apologised and said it was sincerely sorry, but dozens of locals came down with diarrhoea, with some people ending up in hospital. the government has said it is already driving the largest infrastructure programme in water company history, but the authors were keen to stress that billion pound infrastructure projects like thames hydro
7:16 am
wouldn't be enough. they said the government needs to look long term how we design our cities. instead of paving over our streets we need more natural landscapes like wetlands which can absorb the additional rain we can expect from climate change. they also recommended more data must be shared with the public about the quality of our rivers so they can keep themselves safe. water uk said public health was a major part of their upcoming investment programme. esme stallard, bbc news. we're joined now by barbara evans, professor of public health engineering at the university of leeds. good morning, thank you forjoining us. what are the kinds of things that can be done to start with, the initial project you think might improve our sewage network? that is a ureat improve our sewage network? that is a great question- _ improve our sewage network? that is a great question. we _ improve our sewage network? that is a great question. we all _ improve our sewage network? that is a great question. we all know- improve our sewage network? that is a great question. we all know it i improve our sewage network? that is a great question. we all know it is i a great question. we all know it is a great question. we all know it is a topical issue and it is, not
7:17 am
exciting, but positive people have got engaged in this issue and we are excited to see people using bathing waters. we want to think about things we can do in the short term that can make that as safe as possible. mostly that would focus on the 15 recommendations, but the top one is to focus on improved operation and maintenance of the existing assets. some of the things that are being recommended our new infrastructure and new construction but alongside that i think we need to look at running the system we have as well as we possibly can. i5 have as well as we possibly can. is that because improving the current system is less expensive than building entire new part of the network? ., �* , , building entire new part of the network? ., �*, , ., , network? yeah, it's partly that but also infrastructure _ network? yeah, it's partly that but also infrastructure needs - also infrastructure needs maintenance and good operation. if you make the investment it is worth also investing in that operations and maintenance. it is worth investing in, as your reporter mentioned, really good data so we
7:18 am
can keep track of how the system is performing in real time. can keep track of how the system is performing in realtime. i can keep track of how the system is performing in real time. i think it is needing to be embedded in a more general conversation about what we want the system to do. if i may be allowed to say, i think one of the things i always want to say about this is, this is an incredible system, it has kept a safer 170 years, but most of us don't think about it, it is hidden away. i think it is a good opportunity to take stock and say, we value this and we need to invest in ensuring the infrastructure rebuild is well operated and well maintained. ii rare operated and well maintained. if we were designing _ operated and well maintained. if we were designing a — operated and well maintained. if we were designing a system today from scratch, would it be very different from the system we have got now, from the system we have got now, from victorian times? that from the system we have got now, from victorian times?— from victorian times? that is a ureat from victorian times? that is a great question. _ from victorian times? that is a great question. not _ from victorian times? that is a great question. not very i from victorian times? that is a i great question. not very different but we definitely have more technological knowledge now, we can definitely see opportunities to innovate for the technologies that we are using. i think the other thing to bear in mind is, although
7:19 am
our system was originally put in place as a public health intervention, in the last a0 to 50 years the focus has been on improving environmental performance. that is really important, so we have selected treatment processes that do that well, for example. but we have perhaps lost sight of the additional public health role that it needs to play. so i would say, probably wheat would do it slightly differently but we would have a system which takes a faecal matter, which is extremely dangerous and nasty away from where people are, treat it to an appropriate level and then uses the environment as part of a natural process of re—absorbing that waste, if you like, into the environment. you are talking today about the water companies and what government can do to try to improve the system. i wonder whether to finish on asking you what can we all do? there will be millions of being flushed as we are speaking right now in households

7:21 am
an assisted dying service on the island. the proposals include allowing an assisted death for people who are not terminally ill, but have an incurable physical condition causing unbearable suffering. if the law is approved — the earliest it could come into effect would be 2027. from jersey here's our medical editor fergus walsh. a storm is coming tojersey�*s calm and prosperous waters. assisted dying was approved in principle here in 2021, but now the island's parliament will vote on whether proposals should be turned into law. jersey's health minister, tom binet, wants assisted dying for the terminally ill and for those who are not dying but have a physical condition causing unbearable suffering. it's something i've always felt quite strongly about. i lost my father five and a half years ago, pancreatic cancer, it was a grim business.
7:22 am
it's all about individual rights. i don't think one human being should have the right to determine how someone else does or doesn't choose to end their life. and i think it's as simple as that. this is the state assembly, the chamber of the jersey parliament, where the a9 elected members will take a series of crucial votes this week on assisted dying. if approved, legislation will be drawn up and the first assisted death here, as in the isle of man, could be in 2027. just to show you rachel's room. when she passed away, this was her bedroom. rob kelly says assisted dying would put disabled or vulnerable people in even greater danger. he says his daughter rachel was repeatedly written off by doctors because of her severe physical and learning disabilities. rachel was perceived by some of the medical profession as having no quality of life, purely because she
7:23 am
was in a wheelchair. and when we were in hospital, we were pressured time after time to have do not resuscitate put on her notes. going forward i think doctors will see this as an easy way out. some people's lives will be put at risk purely because they have the disability and seen as having no value. when you don't have to worry about what your death is going to be like, you can actuallyjust live that little bit more. but for lorna, who is terminally ill with advanced breast cancer, it would be a comfort to know that an assisted death was an option in jersey. she's hoping the law will come in time for her as she fears dying in pain. there's no purpose to forcing somebody to endure torture towards the end of their life. you know, i do have to consider,
7:24 am
do i save up for dignitas or if scotland enacts a similar law before jersey, do i make sure i'm back home in time that i would be eligible there? so you are having to think about your death when really you should be living. but assisted dying goes againstjohn stuartjones's moral and christian beliefs. he was a gp injersey for three decades and now campaigns against a change in the law. i am extremely worried. i believe this would be a seismic change in society. it would go beyond what has been completely accepted medical practice for millennia. i cannot even imagine administering a lethal drug to kill somebody intentionally. in such a situation, it would be completely against my moral and ethical compass. but nigel minihane, a jersey gp for 35 years, supports assisted dying, saying it is about compassion and autonomy.
7:25 am
why shouldn't an adult who has been classed as terminally ill be able to shorten the dying process if they so wish, either for medical or for personal reasons? nonetheless, while he's in favour of a right to die for the terminally ill, he opposes extending it to those facing unbearable physical pain. the safeguarding risks are too high. they're not in the dying process. and even though i have sympathy, obviously, with people with unbearable suffering, the problem is that how do we know there is no coercion there? a beacon of hope or an erosion of vital safeguards. assisted dying remains one of the most contentious issues facing society. fergusjoins us now. good morning. it is such a complex
7:26 am
issue, you could see from the range of voices in your piece, there are various different levels at which people might agree to want to change. which way do you think this might go? so change. which way do you think this miaht no? . , , change. which way do you think this miauhto? i , , , might go? so the jersey politicians, robabl might go? so the jersey politicians, probably the — might go? so the jersey politicians, probably the vote _ might go? so the jersey politicians, probably the vote will _ might go? so the jersey politicians, probably the vote will come - might go? so the jersey politicians, probably the vote will come on i probably the vote will come on wednesday, may thursday. route number one for the terminally ill, i think that is likely to go through. because the politicians already voted in principle to allow assisted dying back in november 2021. route number two, for people who are not terminally ill, that'll be closer and that could go through but is less likely. in both cases, it would be for adults and they'd need to have mental capacity and to have lived on the island for at least a year. and then once those votes are taken, if one or both of the routes are approved, then legislation would
7:27 am

7:28 am
word is the most extreme cases, aren't you? in terms that most of us will be with family members at the end of their life, how would something like this, how would a change like this affect them for example, for someone who is in the last few days of their life? for those who _ last few days of their life? for those who are _ last few days of their life? for those who are in _ last few days of their life? fr?" those who are in favour, they would argue this would give people comfort and they could go down the route and if they felt it necessary and they faced unbearable pain or suffering, then they would have this option of taking a lethal dose or having a doctor give them an intravenous injection. forthose doctor give them an intravenous injection. for those opposed, this is about coercion, it is about a more dangerous society where people will be more vulnerable, where cost—cutting in health services, the pressure could be there to make it from an option to a suggestion. this

thames water has apologised and says it is working with the owner to address the problem. a residential block named after a man who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in the 1959 will open today in kensington. kelso cochren was attacked and murdered in notting hill while on his way home. his death inspired the first notting hill carnival to try and bring communities together when tensions were high in the area. now next month will mark 80 years since the d—day landings during world war ii, the biggest invasion by sea in history. to commemorate it 98—year—old veteran ken hay�*s given a special assembly at rush green primary in romford. it's a school he's developed an ongoing relationship with and is known by pupils as grandad ken. he'll make the journey back to normandy next month. it's lovely, i sit there on the chair and all these children are sitting around on the floor. they're wonderful, they are absolutely spellbound, they are all quiet and then at the end they already
7:31 am
read the questions. so i said how do you end all wars? and granddad ken said, just love, he doesn't know any other answer. so if everyone loves one another, there'll be no wars in first place. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from minor delays on thejubilee and northern lines. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is a largely cloudy start this morning. we have lost yesterday's sunshine so the temperature is not going to be quite so warm. we are seeing showers coming up from the near continent, could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder in those heavy ones and later merging together to produce longer spells of rain. temperatures, 18 celsius. the wind light so those showers quite slow moving. as we head into this evening and overnight, we are going to be hanging on to those showers. the minimum temperature as a result of those showers and the cloud not dropping much below ten celsius. for wednesday, we can see the low pressure just starts to shift a little further north but spiralling around the outside, yet more showers and their showers
7:32 am
again could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder on wednesday as well. staying largely cloudy, and the winds are strengthening through tomorrow. temperatures again reaching around 18 celsius. as we head into thursday, there is a chance of a shower. largely cloudy, perhaps drier the further through the day you get. but it is going to feel cooler, we have got a north—north—westerly breeze, the temperatures a little lower. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. we're expecting more details later on the compensation for the thousands of victims of the infected blood scandal with rishi sunak saying the government will pay "whatever it takes". yesterday the chair of the public
7:33 am
inquiry, sir brian langstaff, highlighted a "catalogue of failures" over many years, which he said had "catastrophic" consequences. the nhs and successive governments compounded the agony by refusing to accept that wrong had been done. more than that, the government repeatedly maintained that people received the best available treatment. and that testing of blood donations began as soon as the technology was available. and both claims were untrue. applause tragically, the infections happened because those in authority, the doctors, the blood services and successive governments, did not put patient safety first. the scale of this scandal
7:34 am
is hard to comprehend with so many thousands of lives changed forever. let's hear now from just one of them. janet stuart's brother paul was infected with hiv and hepatitis c by contaminated blood products more than a0 years ago. he gave evidence to the inquiry in 2019 but didn't live to hear its findings. there's no amount of financial redress that can compensate for the loss of a life, the loss of a loved one, and the stress and the trauma that knowing what happened to him caused to the family, and to all of the other individuals who have been affected and infected throughout this scandal. i think we just want to put it behind us, we want to be at peace, we want to be able to live safe in the knowledge that the truth came out and that the right people were held to account. we'll be talking to janet here in about half an hour's time. we're joined now by the mayor of greater manchester,

7:37 am
that the families get as much as can be provided in terms of redress but so much has been taken from them. they cannot really have justice. you they cannot really have 'ustice. you sa ou they cannot really have 'ustice. you say you came * they cannot really have 'ustice. you say you came to h they cannot really have 'ustice. you say you come to it h they cannot really have justice. you say you came to it too late, you were health secretary right at the end of the gordon brown area before the conservatives took so 2009. a couple of years before that had raised serious questions, a serious inquiry had raised these questions. 50 the information was on your desk. so the information was on your desk. yes, what happened was, that arch inquiry, was responded to before i arrived and i inherited the anger at the government response at the time. and then i met campaigners, and i began to hear what they were telling me, medical records had been destroyed, amended, and that is where the parallel with hillsborough started to grow for me. you where the parallel with hillsborough started to grow for me.—
7:38 am
started to grow for me. you talk about the m _ started to grow for me. you talk about the m paul— started to grow for me. you talk about the m paul coggins, - started to grow for me. you talk about the m paul coggins, who l started to grow for me. you talk. about the m paul coggins, who was talking about a public inquiry then, he was calling for it? yes. talking about a public inquiry then, he was calling for it?— he was calling for it? yes, he has not to he was calling for it? yes, he has got to find _ he was calling for it? yes, he has got to find the — he was calling for it? yes, he has got to find the evidence, - he was calling for it? yes, he has got to find the evidence, he - he was calling for it? yes, he has got to find the evidence, he said. are you angry for yourself not doing more? , ,., , are you angry for yourself not doing more? , , more? everybody looks back, iwish i could have done _ more? everybody looks back, iwish i could have done more _ more? everybody looks back, iwish i could have done more more - more? everybody looks back, iwish i could have done more more quickly. | more? everybody looks back, iwish i| could have done more more quickly. i was very focused on hillsborough at the time. when that was completed i turned my attention to blood and i like to think that the speech i made made a difference but other people, theresa may, she ordered the public inquiry, diana johnson, nobody did what we should have done as quickly as we should have done. but the point is, here we are. two things i would say, we have got to fully face up would say, we have got to fully face up to what happened. i heard what the prime minister said yesterday but it really must be honoured. there is another big scandal out there, nucleartest there is another big scandal out there, nuclear test veterans. there is another big scandal out there, nucleartest veterans. if there is another big scandal out there, nuclear test veterans. if you are going to face up to the past you have to face up to injustice everywhere. and then looking to the future, we have got a pattern here,
7:39 am
hillsborough, grenfell tower, post office, windrush, contaminated blood, as i have said, one that has not been dealt with, nuclear test veterans. this is a pattern that keeps on repeating. i think the unelected state in britain had too much power, it is too easy to cover—up. sir brian was right to recommend a statutory duty of candour on a senior civil servants, i say it should be on all public servants. tell the truth at the first time of asking, that is the only way we can break this pattern that keeps on repeating. you only way we can break this pattern that keeps on repeating.— that keeps on repeating. you have listed a series _ that keeps on repeating. you have listed a series of— that keeps on repeating. you have listed a series of scandals. - that keeps on repeating. you have listed a series of scandals. when i listed a series of scandals. when you were health secretary, of course, the government changed. what happens between you and the next person to handle all of this over, does that happen? when you leave thatjob, do you say to the next person, you have got to look at this? , .,
7:40 am
person, you have got to look at this? , . , ., person, you have got to look at this? , . ., , this? yes, and in the case of blood, i instigated — this? yes, and in the case of blood, i instigated and _ this? yes, and in the case of blood, i instigated and i _ this? yes, and in the case of blood, i instigated and i reopened - this? yes, and in the case of blood, i instigated and i reopened the - i instigated and i reopened the financial compensation and to be fair andrew lansley my successor accepted that, and made some steps in the right direction. we do talk, sometimes you realise as an mp, things move most when you work on a cross—party basis. when it comes to issues like this, there is no politics, it is way above party politics. in the end cross—party efforts got us to this point. the country should work more like this, it should not be the exception. as i say, there is a need for big change here. this report i believe has rocked whitehall to its foundations. there is something very wrong with the way british state how does these things. huge changes needed here and i call on all of my former colleagues in parliament to put politics aside, look at what has happened, bring in a full comprehensive hillsborough law to tip the scales ofjustice back
7:41 am
towards ordinary people, rather than what has happened to do the hillsborough campaigners and blood campaigners, in the wilderness for years shouting but nobody listening. that has a traumatising effect on people who have been wronged in the first place. people who have been wronged in the first lace. ., ., , first place. some of the families here who were _ first place. some of the families here who were outside - first place. some of the families here who were outside the - first place. some of the families| here who were outside the report publication yesterday. we will get a sense in parliament today on what sense in parliament today on what sense the compensation package might be, it could run to £10 billion, huge amounts of money. what are your thoughts on how that is distributed on how quickly that can be done? it needs to be done as quickly as possible. sadly as janet said, people have died before this day has come which is so sad to realise that. but move very quickly, and this is the thing, if the treasury had opened up in the first instance, it would not have had this huge cost of putting things right. but it has to be done and it has to be done
7:42 am
quickly. but bigger lessons need to be learned in terms of the way the state handles these things. and i just hope as well there is individual accountability. we could never achieve that for the hillsborough families, we worked hard at it but the passage of time meant that it could not be delivered. in this distance i thought anything should be done at... ., ., , thought anything should be done at... ., at... even more time has passed. this cover-un— at... even more time has passed. this cover-up was _ at... even more time has passed. this cover-up was going - at... even more time has passed. this cover-up was going on - at... even more time has passed. this cover-up was going on up . at... even more time has passed. i this cover-up was going on up until this cover—up was going on up until very recently, you could even say up until yesterday. very recently, you could even say up untilyesterday. in very recently, you could even say up until yesterday. in the case of the department of health, an organisation responsible for people's else, they were not honest about people's health and that had health consequences. so i think there is a case for corporate manslaughter possibly. the department of health not being honest about people's health is very serious matter.— serious matter. difference will that make to the _ serious matter. difference will that make to the families? _ serious matter. difference will that make to the families? it _ serious matter. difference will that make to the families? it is - serious matter. difference will that make to the families? it is about i make to the families? it is about accountability, _ make to the families? it is about accountability, we _ make to the families? it is about accountability, we go _ make to the families? it is about accountability, we go through . make to the families? it is about i accountability, we go through these
7:43 am
processes in this country, we finally get to the truth but we full short of accountability. we are seeing an element of that with the post office at the moment. accountability really matters, be that on an individual level or a corporate level. and i hope, i asked the prime minister at keir starmer, they should work together on that to see if there is any furtherjustice that can be achieved for the campaigners. that can be achieved for the campaigners-_ that can be achieved for the campaigners. that can be achieved for the cam-uainers.�* , ., campaigners. and put politics aside, that is what our _ campaigners. and put politics aside, that is what our viewers _ campaigners. and put politics aside, that is what our viewers tell - campaigners. and put politics aside, that is what our viewers tell us - campaigners. and put politics aside, that is what our viewers tell us on i that is what our viewers tell us on timely subjects.— that is what our viewers tell us on timely subjects. timely sub'ects. completely, nobody has the timely subjects. completely, nobody has the moral— timely subjects. completely, nobody has the moral high _ timely subjects. completely, nobody has the moral high ground, - timely subjects. completely, nobody. has the moral high ground, everybody let them down. the onus on politicians is to put everything aside and do everything possible to make recompense but at the same time, change the way the country works. how many times can we go through this pattern of events? the cycle has to be broken and that is a hillsborough law that we need, and we need it now.— hillsborough law that we need, and we need it now. andy burnham, thank ou ve we need it now. andy burnham, thank you very much — we need it now. andy burnham, thank you very much indeed. _ we need it now. andy burnham, thank you very much indeed. thank- we need it now. andy burnham, thank you very much indeed. thank you. - still to come on breakfast, we're taking a look at water

it certainly is, and that is what it is like in some eastern areas in particular. low cloud, mist and murk. patchy fog will lift, but the myth and murk on the east coast will linger through much of the day and be extensive. a bright start and then we will see some scattered showers coming in across midlands, eastern parts of england and northern ireland, wales and south—west england where we had the odd rumble of thunder this morning. this band of rain will be coming our way later on. we have this nose of high pressure around us but look at the spacing in the isobars, hardly a breath of wind so nothing to shift this low cloud mist and murk, and if anything we have an onshore breeze blowing it in. scattered showers, some will be heavy or thundery, northern scotland, northern ireland, south—west england and even into the

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today: plans to compensate victims of the infected blood scandal will be set out by the government today. the prime minister promises to pay "whatever it costs". on behalf of this and every government stretching back to thes 1970s, i am truly sorry. it follows a damning public inquiry report, which concluded that thousands of victims had been failed repeatedly by the nhs and successive governments. vindicated to some extent that we're not all crazy, we weren't making it up. sad that my brother isn't here to see this day because he never believed that it would ever come to a conclusion. a woman in her 50's dies after a dog attack in east london. police remove two xl bullys from the house. free will show you what to do should

8:03 am
in the treatment of 30,000 people who were given infected blood products in the 1970s and 80s. plenty more coming up in just a few minutes — we're going to bejoined by some of the victims. but first sally has this morning's other main news stories. a woman in her 50s has died after an xl bully dog attack at her home in east london. our reporter paul hawkins is at the scene. paul what more do we know about what happened? what we know is thatjust after one o'clock yesterday afternoon police were called to this three bed property behind me in this quiet, leafy suburb of east london following reports of woman in her 50s had attacked by two xl bullies ducks. police sent an armed response unit and they entered the property and found the two dogs in a room. the police stressed the dogs didn't leave the house during that incident and they were taken to a secure cannel. sadly, the woman died at the
8:04 am
scene. this follows a series of fatal attacks but this is the first attack involving xl bullies that were registered under the new scheme by the government. it is illegal to keep one of these dogs are not registered under the scheme, and the latest data shows 50,000 xl bullies are registered in england and wales. there is similar legislation coming in in scotland later in the year and also northern ireland. in terms of the legislation itself, if you do have a registered dog, it needs to be neutered, microchip, kept on the lead in public and muzzled. there was a series of staggered deadlines for when you're dog has to be neutered, depending on the edge of the dock. we don't know whether these two dogs were neutered or not, very limited information about the police but it is about the local community and the family processing what happened yesterday afternoon at

into effect would be 2027. there are calls for urgent improvements to be made to the uk's sewage network, to reduce the risk to health from human waste. the report, led by the royal academy of engineering, says increased investment would help reduce the chance of infections. the government says the uk is undergoing its biggest sewage infrastructure upgrade in 60 years. the princess of wales's early years foundation has urged businesses to do more to help parents of young children, by offering more flexible working hours or help with childcare. the princess remains away from public events as she continues her recovery after her cancer diagnosis. the story that is likely to dominate the news again today. rishi sunak says the government will pay "whatever it takes" to compensate the victims
8:07 am
of the the infected blood scandal. details of the scheme are expected to be announced later today. it's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. yesterday a public inquiry highlighted a "catalogue of failures" over many years, which it said had "catastrophic" consequences. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. cheering and applause. a moment of relief and joy after years of grief, frustration and anger. sir brian langstaff delivers his findings to just some of the thousands of people whose lives have been touched by the infected blood scandal. outside, some of them reflected on a moment they've spent decades fighting for. it's what we all knew, what we all knew, we're now hearing. and so for me, that is justice. it is incredibly sad and hard that he's not here today. but i feel he'd go, "well done, we've done it". yeah, definitely. means so much, 40 years of fighting.
8:08 am
i wish my parents were both here to be here with me, but they've passed on. but i hope they're looking down because it's for them and it's for him to have recognition his life did mean something? sir brian's five year investigation found that clinicians, blood services and hospitals and successive governments didn't put patient safety first. ministers were wrong to say that patients received the best medical treatment available at the time, and to save face and expense, successive governments refused to admit responsibility, showing little interest in finding the truth, listening to those infected or taking action. the report prompted this apology from the prime minister. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by this scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s,
8:09 am
i am truly sorry. those at the heart of the infected blood scandal are now waiting to see what ministers have to say about long—delayed compensation payments. it's a bit like christmas morning, you're waking up and you've opened the present, but it's not really the present you wanted. the one we really want is about the whole sort of compensation. the key test of this inquiry is whether it can achieve real, long lasting, fundamental change in the nhs, in the medical profession, in government, so that a scandal as dreadful as this never happens again. dominic hughes, bbc news. our health correspondent dominic hughesjoins us now. we are going to hearfrom some of the victims in person very shortly, but in terms of compensation we will get the details today and the word we keep hearing is urgency? yes. we keep hearing is urgency? yes, there was lots _ we keep hearing is urgency? yes, there was lots of _ we keep hearing is urgency? yes, there was lots of emotion - we keep hearing is urgency? 1a: there was lots of emotion yesterday
8:10 am
and it is right to reflect that. this is something that had been achieved after decades of struggle, overcoming obfuscation, lying and deceit. so we had all the emotion yesterday, but what we're hearing from the families and the victims today, they want action now. there is this terrible statistic that since the inquiry started, 650 people infected have died since the inquiry started and they die before they could hear the results of what everyone agrees, i think is a very thorough and fair appraisal of what happened. so there is that sense of urgency, so later on in the house of commons today we will hearjohn glenn, the cabinet office minister outline exactly how the government is going to outline the compensation payments. there is that sense of urgency because people are still very, very ill as a result of being infected because of this tremendous scandal. ., ., 4' .,

8:13 am
here, is really the first thing that everybody wants, and to recognize that it should never have ever happened. the cover ups are awful, but for me, the biggest thing right now is an apology. there's lots of similarities between the different families. people have lost sort of parents, children, loved ones. but there's also a sense of anger as well, because we've been lied to for so long. lizzie�*s mum, gina, had a blood transfusion after a miscarriage in 1978. 13 years later, she was told she had hepatitis c. she died in 2007, just months before lizzie�*s wedding. so sad, it is so sad that they're not here to see justice for themselves and to be around for, you know, like, the grandchildren and things. it'sjust terrible. we're making progress today with reading the report and finally starting to get a bit ofjustice. nothing will ever bring her back.
8:14 am
i'm angry, i'm disappointed. the rhetoric that comes from parliament and from the powers that be is one of excuses. janet's brother paul was infected with hiv and hepatitis c by contaminated blood products more than a0 years ago. he gave evidence to the inquiry in 2019. he didn't live to hear its findings. there's no amount of financial redress that can compensate for the loss of a life, the loss of a loved one, and the stress and the trauma that knowing what happened to him caused to the family and to all of the other individuals that have been affected and infected throughout this whole scandal. i think we just want to put it behind us, we want to be at peace, we want to be able to live safe in the knowledge that the truth came out and that the right people were held to account. finally, after decades of denials during which tens of thousands of lives were destroyed, the truth was delivered in seven volumes and more than 2000 pages.
8:15 am
and it's quite sort of hard to read those things that have happened and the failings that that have occurred. it's all written down - exactly what's happened, what the recommendations are. so they have to now take action. so i'm glad that it's here - but it is, it's a very hard read. it was, the inquiry�*s chair said, a calamity that could and should have been avoided, followed by a cover—up that was chilling in its implications. this disaster was not an accident. people put their faith in doctors and in the government to keep them safe and their trust was betrayed. tell us how you're feeling now. vindicated to some extent that we're not all crazy, we weren't making it up. sad that my brother isn't here to see this day because he never believed that it would ever come to a conclusion like this.
8:16 am
# i want to sing, i want to shout...# it was incredibly emotional. it's one of those things that ijust don't know how you can forgive it. so in your body, itjust remains there as just frustration. the way that the governments have treated these, all of us in the past, it's been awful. they've just hidden things up, just covered them over, buried them. this is an apology from the state to every single person impacted by this scandal. it did not have to be this way. it should never have been this way. and on behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, i am truly sorry. as we all thought it would do, it has rocked them to their foundations and actually the only thing they can do is what he'sjust done. it's taken it to be written in black and white... yes, absolutely. to actually, you know, make that statement. and as we all know, politicians
8:17 am

8:29 am
it's been illegal to own the xl bully breed since february without an exemption certificate. a couple from south—east london says that sewage flooding from their toilet has caused over £100,000 worth of damage to their home and that it has "completely destroyed" their lives. the cause of the flooding, to the ground floor of the house, in chislehurst has not yet been found. thames water has apologised and says it is working with the owner to address the problem. a residential block named after a man who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1959 will open today in kensington. kelso cochrane was attacked and murdered in notting hill while on his way home. his death inspired the first notting hill carnival to try and bring communities together when tensions were high in the area. now next month will mark 80 years since the d—day landings during world war ii, the biggest invasion by sea in history. to commemorate it 98—year—old veteran ken hay�*s given a special assembly at rush green primary in romford. it's a school he's developed

an ongoing relationship with and is known by pupils as grandad ken. he'll make the journey back to normandy next month. it's lovely, i sit there on the chair and all these children are sitting around on the floor. they're wonderful, they are absolutely spellbound, they are all quiet and then at the end they're all ready with their questions. so i said how do you end all wars? and granddad ken said, just love, he doesn't know any other answer. so if everyone loves one another, there'll be no wars in first place. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are minor delays on thejubilee line and severe delays on the northern lines. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is a largely cloudy start this morning. we have lost yesterday's sunshine so the temperature is not going to be quite so warm. we are seeing showers coming up from the near continent, could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder in those heavy ones and later merging together to produce longer spells of rain.
8:31 am
temperatures, 18 celsius. the wind light so those showers quite slow moving. as we head into this evening and overnight, we are going to be hanging on to those showers. the minimum temperature as a result of those showers and the cloud not dropping much below ten celsius. for wednesday, we can see the low pressure just starts to shift a little further north but spiralling around the outside, yet more showers and their showers again could be heavy, you might get the odd rumble of thunder on wednesday as well. staying largely cloudy, and the winds are strengthening through tomorrow. temperatures again reaching around 18 celsius. as we head into thursday, there is a chance of a shower. largely cloudy, perhaps drier the further through the day you get. but it is going to feel cooler, we have got a north—north—westerly breeze, the temperatures a little lower. i'll be back with another update at around 9.15. have a good day.

8:37 am
at the moment and then at the paralympics in paris later this summer. just three weeks after that she's getting married. she's been talking about world records and dream dresses with our reporter sally hurst. 2024 has the potential to definitely be the best year of my life. world championships in may, paralympics in august, wedding in october. it is gorgeous, isn't it? hannah cockcroft is packing a lot into the next few months. dress shopping is a welcome moment to pause. we've got the venue, we've got the church, got the suits. you know what? we're doing quite well. it has actually been really hard to fit in planning a wedding into training, competing, travelling, but i feel like we're getting there. the wedding is three weeks after my last race at the paralympic games, so ask me again then, and it might be a different story! hannah got engaged to fellow
8:38 am
wheelchair athlete nathan maguire after the tokyo paralympics in 2021. they live together and often train together, but one place they won't be together is in paris because of strict accommodation rules at the games. it is strange, it's really quite old fashioned rules. so there's kind of male apartments and female apartments, and in a way it's nice, you kind of get there and it's a bit of a break, but ultimately when you're there to put in your best performance, nath is the person who knows how i react to things, he knows how i prepare for things. it'd be so much easier if we could just get on with what we normally do. the world champion, the paralympic champion, becomes the commonwealth champion. with14 world titles and seven paralympic golds to her name, hannah doesn't need to compete at the world championships to get selected for her fourth paralympic games, but is keen to check out her rivals. do you still get nervous about your competition then?
8:39 am
i'm always nervous before every race. i think if you're not nervous, then you don't care enough. people think it's really comfortable being at the front, but it's actually quite lonely. you have no—one to kind of set the barrierfor you. you have no—one to tell you what you could do, you have to figure that out for yourself. you've got no—one to chase, everyone's chasing. how was it? setting targets helps calm the nerves. and right now in training, hannah and coach paul moseley are focusing on project 15, an ambition to break her own 100 metre world record and go under 16 seconds. the last year has been really good in the sense of then she's improved on her performances, so i'm encouraged with that. but hannah is absolutely determined in training and in the performances, so that makes my life slightly easier. i don't want to leave this sport wondering, what if i'd just done that or what if i tried that? i want to know that i tried everything and i got the quickest i could ever be, and i don't think i'm there yet. as for the wedding plans, at least there's one more thing
8:40 am
crossed off the to—do list. have you found your dream dress? i've tried on probably over 30 dresses and there were a whole range of different ones. i have found my dress, i've said yes to the dress! that was a lot of fun, i've really enjoyed it. isn't that brilliant? i'm sure that was not the dress! i'm sure that is a secret. . . �* was not the dress! i'm sure that is a secret. ,, , �* ., ., a secret. she isn't wearing that in paris. a secret. she isn't wearing that in paris- might _ a secret. she isn't wearing that in paris. might get _ a secret. she isn't wearing that in paris. might get a _ a secret. she isn't wearing that in paris. might get a bit _ a secret. she isn't wearing that in | paris. might get a bit complicated. i don't think so! as we look forward to the summer months and warmer weather, water safety is an issue which becomes even more important. in the last week alone, a 14—year—old boy died after getting into difficulty in the river tyne in northumberland, and a 13—year—old boy remains in a critical condition. a search is also under way in chepstow after a man was seen falling into the river wye. the rnli is warning that anyone who spends time near water, should be aware of the risks.

8:49 am
take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart between tuesday and friday, look at the colours, the blue, sage green, 60 to 70 millimetres, around the borders for example, we could have up to potentially 80 or 90. also a lot of low cloud, mist an amount that has been coming in from the north sea during the night, quite extensive and a lot of it will linger. it will be thundering across the southwest and southern england, a few showers in wales and north—west england, heavy and thundery once potentially across northern ireland and parts northern scotland. in between we are looking at bright skies and for one or two of us sunny intervals. this evening and overnight, we started to pull in substantial rain moving north, to the north and south of it it will be cloudy with showers. these are the overnight lows, nine
8:50 am
to 13 degrees. tomorrow low pressure is bringing us rain, heavy and persistent rain. the position and timing of this could change so keep watching the weather forecast if you have outdoor plans. what we think is it will continue to push up through scotland, northern england and wales. a few showers through northern ireland and drier conditions with a few showers across southern england. if you are going to the chelsea flower show, worth popping a brolly into your bag. tomorrow will be br easier than today and temperatures will be lower. depending on what happens on wednesday with a low pressure, that will have an impact on thursday, we currently think it will be a wet day across scotland and northern england, low—pressure starting to push in the direction of the north sea. for northern ireland, wales, the midlands, southern and south—eastern areas, it will be drier. a fair bit of cloud around. it will be a windy day, the wind coming down from the north so it
