6:02 am
good morning to you, dan. what more do we know about the impact to civilians on the ground? we know there was this _ civilians on the ground? we know there was this explosion - civilians on the ground? we know there was this explosion last - civilians on the ground? we know| there was this explosion last night in this area north—west of rafah where around 100,000 palestinian refugees were sheltering. this was a place of tent playback, temporary shelters, that hamas said was dedicated as a safe humanitarian zone where people believed they were secure. israel defence forces have acknowledged carrying out strike in that area north—west of rafah, they said it was a precision strike led by intelligence targeting two senior hamas figures who were killed. they say they acknowledge the reports that the strike ignited a fire which spread through the area of tents, the idf acknowledges that civilians have been harmed and says it is acknowledging the incident. this came after hamas launched rocket
6:03 am
from rafah into tel aviv, eight rockets fired and most intercepted by the defence field from israel, one falling into a field. peace talks were hoped to be re—starting as early as tomorrow, with the israelis and americans, negotiated by qatar and egypt. whether those talks will be able to go ahead now given what has happened, so much loss of life, 35 people having been killed in the south of gaza, and at the same time israel's military offensive around rafah has continued despite the intricate —— international court ofjustice saying it should stop because of the impact on palestinians. 1 million palestinian people have been displaced from rafah in the last few weeks since the israeli offensive started there, that's why some of these people who were caught up in this air strike last night were in
6:04 am
the area sheltering where they were. benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister has been under renewed pressure over the weekend with protests in tel aviv calling for him to deliver on his stated priorities, eradicating hamas and returning hostages to israeli families. this is a major setback, deadly incident which is being investigated by israel's defence forces. we will wait to see _ israel's defence forces. we will wait to see the _ israel's defence forces. we will wait to see the result - israel's defence forces. we will wait to see the result of- israel's defence forces. we will wait to see the result of that i wait to see the result of that investigation. jon has an update on the other main stories of the day and we begin with the election. sir keir starmer will attempt to appeal to undecided voters later in a keynote speech, saying they can trust labour with the nation's finances, security and borders. but the conservatives say he has no clear plan. this report from our political correspondent, leila nathoo. the first weekend of campaigning, and the party leaders have been setting out their stalls. in trying to convince voters that they should be first choice, there's no time to waste. sir keir starmer began the weekend
6:05 am
promising votes for 16 and 17—year—olds in the future. he'll be giving a speech later in the south east. but labour's been wanting to focus on the economy, saying only they can be trusted to ensure stability. rachel reeves wants the chance to make decisions on tax and spending. she said there would be no rises in income tax or national insurance under labour, but acknowledged there would be difficult decisions ahead. i'm under no illusions about the scale of the challenge that i will inherit if i become chancellor in just a few weeks' time. but that's why i've already announced an immediate injection of cash into our front line public services by ensuring that non—doms pay their fair share of tax and we crack down on tax avoidance. there was a warning from economists that all parties needed to be more honest about the state of public finances. we are the ones talking about the windfall tax on the oil and gas companies. i've already made clear that the tax cuts to the big banks the conservatives have given since 2015, they need to be reversed and we'll show
6:06 am
that we are being responsible. the tories have hinted at further tax cuts if they stay in power, but they announced an eye—catching policy of mandatory national service for all 18—year—olds, either full time military service for a year or one weekend a month volunteering in public services. it's about addressing the fragmentation that we've seen in society, too many young people living in their own bubble, whether it be a digital bubble or a social bubble. and we want to get back to the situation where people are mixing with young people from different areas, different economic groups, different religions, to try and find a way of addressing the kind of fragmentation that we see too much. you'll be seeing buses like this one on a road near you as politicians traverse the country vying for votes. there's a long road ahead to polling day for all parties. they'll be trying to attract attention until then. leila nathoo, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent hannah miller is in our london newsroom.
6:07 am
so, hannah, bank holiday monday but clearly the campaigning is continuing apace.- clearly the campaigning is continuing apace. clearly the campaigning is continuin: aace. . , ., continuing apace. yeah, there is no letu - continuing apace. yeah, there is no letu in continuing apace. yeah, there is no letup in the — continuing apace. yeah, there is no letup in the general— continuing apace. yeah, there is no letup in the general election - letup in the general election campaign for the letup in the general election campaignforthe main letup in the general election campaign for the main party leaders, certainly. we are expecting a keynote speech, we are told, from keir starmer, the labour leader, this morning. and if you are watching this and thinking, i don't really know what keir starmer is about, or whether labour is really changed or anything, then it's kind of a speech which is aimed at you. he will be trying to admit that there are people who still have many questions about the labour party but take on some of those questions and say that he personally has changed the party to a point where he argues it is now ready to serve the country. he will also be saying that his focus in government would be on economic security, border security, and national security. suggesting that rishi sunak is having to manage
6:08 am
the competing factions of his own party instead. the conservatives call this a speech that doesn't say anything. they are facing a bit of a tough reception for their national service announcement that they made yesterday after it emerged that only last week, one rishi sunak�*s defence ministers had dismissed a similar idea because they thought it could have an impact on resources. the party stresses that this version could involve volunteering rather than necessarilyjustjoining the than necessarily just joining the military. than necessarilyjustjoining the military. meanwhile the lib dems are out and about, they have got a launch in scotland. it might be bank holiday monday but all of the parties are still very much competing to get their message across. ., ., ., ., ., ~ competing to get their message across. ., ., . ., ., ~ , ., an investigation is continuing following the death of a royal air force pilot. mark long was killed when the spitfire he was flying crashed near raf coningsby in lincolnshire on saturday. he was described as "a great friend, colleague and a passionate, professional aviator"
6:09 am
as phillip norton reports. hugely respected and highly talented. squadron leader mark long was one of the raf�*s finest pilots. he served his country in modern day fighterjets and relished the chance to honour wartime heroes. he was due to take command at the battle of britain memorial flight later this year. outside the hangar at the team's base at raf coningsby, where he took off from on saturday, a sign still shows the expected departure and return time for the spitfire he was flying. but the aircraft crashed into a field a short distance from the lincolnshire runway. a great friend, colleague and a passionate professional aviator, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him. already many flowers have been left here. this is a community proud to live side by side with the royal air force. i think everyone's respectful to the family at this
6:10 am
time, to the air force. you can see them flying over, and you could see them yesterday as well, and then to hear that it's happened, it's devastating. squadron leader long had helped train future pilots as an instructor and previously delighted crowds as a typhoon fighter jet display pilot. he first flew the spitfire in 2021. this is the aircraft he was flying on saturday, spitfire mk356. one of only a handful still flying, which saw active service during the second world war, including taking part in d—day operations. it's been in existence since 1937, and this is the first fatality it's been in existence since 1957, and this is the first fatality in all those years of operating the battle of britain memorial flight. the royal family are among those who have paid tribute to squadron leader long, adding to the outpouring of love and support from many of those who've admired his flying skills at airshows across the country.
6:11 am
the raf says an investigation is under way into what caused the crash and that their thoughts remain with mark's family and friends. phillip norton, bbc news, at raf coningsby in lincolnshire. police investigating the fatal stabbing of a woman on a bournemouth beach have released some cctv stills of a suspect. the 34—year—old woman died at the scene and a 38—year—old woman was seriously injured in the attack on durley chine beach on friday. officers have already made an arrest in connection with the case. that person remains in custody. more than 140 hospitals in england have confirmed they'll introduce a new system, which gives seriously ill patients easy access to a second opinion, if their condition worsens. it follows a campaign by the parents of martha mills, who died of sepsis because her symptoms were missed. martha's rule will allow worried patients to phone a dedicated number and ask
6:12 am
for an urgent review of their care. member states of the world health organization will gather in geneva today, to discuss how to prepare forfuture pandemics. there were hopes the nations could finalise a treaty to help correct the mistakes and inequalities exposed by covid but so far no agreement has been reached. melanoma skin cancer cases are at an all—time high, with over 20,000 people expected to be diagnosed this year. cancer research uk says people need to do more to protect themselves from the sun. here's our correspondent chi chi izundu. let's take a locating photograph. these are just some of the examples of what melanoma skin cancer can look like. and according to cancer research uk, the number of cases of this serious and often most dangerous form of the disease is on the rise. rates of melanoma have increased by almost a third over a decade, from 21 to 28 per 100,000 people
6:13 am
between 2007 and 2009 and 2017 and 2019. it's more common in the elderly. among those aged over 80, there was a 57% rise, while amongst those aged 25 to a9, there was a 7% increase. 17,000 melanoma cases every year are preventable, with almost nine in ten caused by too much ultraviolet radiation. and one source of that uv radiation comes from the sun, damaging skin cells and causing cancer. we think that there are a few different reasons for this record high of melanoma skin cancer cases. the main one being too much exposure to ultraviolet or uv radiation from the sun and sunbeds, which is why it's so important to take care in the sun. but there are other factors at play as well.
6:14 am
here in the uk we have an ageing population and age is a big risk factor for cancer. we also have a growing population, so when we have more people we're going to see more cases. another reason the figures are up is because people are getting better at spotting abnormalities and going to the gp. last month, experts revealed a game changing jab is being trialled on british patients, which has dramatically reduced the risk of melanoma returning. but prevention is key in order to stay safe. apply generously high factor sunscreen often, cover up and avoid the sun between 11 and three. chi chi izundu, bbc news. 12 people have been injured due to turbulence on a qatar airways flight from doha to dublin. eight of those passengers had to be taken to hospital after landing in ireland. it comes just six days after a man from south gloucestershire died due to extreme turbulence
6:15 am
on a singapore airlines flight. 0ur reporter louisa pilbeam has more. passengers and crew on board this qatar airways plane were launched into the air and objects thrown across the cabin. some of those who landed in dublin said the seat belt signs were off when sudden turbulence hit. we just felt the plane dip for about five seconds. and next to us, we saw the flight attendantjust go up in the air and come straight back down. they had the seat belt signs on, they were off. next minute, whomp, dinner came off my lap, and yeah, just food all over the plane. i had my seat belt on, she didn't. he had his arm around me and held me down. i saw people two rows ahead, flying up in the air, _ about a metre, then drop down. when the plane landed in dublin, it was met by emergency services. 12 passengers and crew were injured. the incident comes less than a week after a british man died on a flight
6:16 am
from london to singapore and 20 people were left in intensive care after extreme turbulence. we know that one of the effects of climate change is that it's generating more turbulence in the atmosphere, whether that's turbulence associated with storms orflying over a mountain or invisible turbulence in these atmospheric currents called jet streams, they're all projected to increase because of climate change in the future. however, i would stress that turbulence is very rare. only one tenth of 1% of the atmosphere has severe turbulence in it. qatar airways told the bbc that a small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries and are receiving medical attention and said an internal investigation has begun. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the fbi is investigating the sale to us buyers of what are suspected to be hundreds of treasures from the british museum. the gallery said up to 2,000 items were missing damaged or stolen
6:17 am
from its storerooms and sold on ebay. it suspects dr peter higgs, a former senior curator, of being involved. dr higgs has denied any wrongdoing and the police are still investigating. we will be talking to our culture editorjust before 9am who has done a big investigation into this, it's fascinating. a big investigation into this, it's fascinating-— a big investigation into this, it's fascinatina. ., , . fascinating. the documentary which is on tonight. _ fascinating. the documentary which is on tonight, isn't _ fascinating. the documentary which is on tonight, isn't it? _ fascinating. the documentary which is on tonight, isn't it? yes. - fascinating. the documentary which is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely l is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely carol is here _ is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely carol is here for _ is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely carol is here for the _ is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely carol is here for the bank - is on tonight, isn't it? yes. lovely carol is here for the bank holidayl carol is here for the bank holiday weather, lovely weather? for ducts, maybe! we have a combination of sunshine and showers, the reinis easing touch over the outer hebrides but it has been pouring buckets overnight. you can see showers in the west and the
6:18 am
north. some of starting with some sunshine this morning, it will up, the heaviest will be across the north—east of scotland. some could have the odd rumble of thunder in there and maybe some hail. cloud will build across the isles of scilly and cornwall, heralding the arrival of another where the front which will bring in some rain. temperatures 13 to 17, in light breezes, in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. this evening and overnight, showers tend to fade, clearer skies but the weather front continues to advance in from the south—west pushing slowly north—west and eastwards. getting into hampshire, the isle of wight and wales. a chillier night than last night especially in the east, temperatures a little bit higher under the cloud in the west. tomorrow the band of rain continues
6:19 am
its journey pushing slowly northwards and eastwards, some of the driest conditions will be in north—east scotland although we cannot rule out a shower, and behind the rain band we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. tomorrow's temperatures, very similar to today, up temperatures, very similar to today, up to about 17 degrees. thank you, carol. that's all right for a bank holiday. i thank you, carol. that's all right for a bank holiday.— for a bank holiday. i have seen worse. let's take a look at today's front pages. they're dominated by reaction to the conservative's proposals to re—introduce national service for young people. "desperate" is the mirror's one word verdict. the move would "cost billions" and is "the last thing the military needs", the paper says. the policy is also criticised in the guardian, with the paper quoting an ex—military chief describing it as "bonkers". admiral lord west, a former naval staff chief, said "we need to spend more on defence,
6:20 am
and by doing what sunak is suggesting, money will be sucked out of defence." but the mail says the prime minister is "fighting back" after criticism of the plan. the article says that mr sunak has "assured voters that it would open doors for teenagers". also defending the proposals is defence secretary grant shapps, who is quoted in the daily express as saying it will "toughen up" britain's youth, as well as boosting the country's "resilience". with summer, hopefully, on the way, you may be noticing it had quite a few sunny names yesterday which were disparaging over —— it had a few funny memes which were very disparaging of generation z. which were very disparaging of generation 2.— which were very disparaging of aeneration z. , , , ., ~ generation z. everybody is talking about it, generation z. everybody is talking about it. lets _ generation z. everybody is talking about it, lots of _ generation z. everybody is talking about it, lots of parents _ generation z. everybody is talking about it, lots of parents talking i about it, lots of parents talking about it, lots of parents talking about it. with summer, hopefully, on the way, you may be noticing more wildlife around.

6:22 am

6:24 am
with teenagers now. i think it's a lot of money. you want them to look nice, to feel confident and to, - you know, have the best time. but of course, the expense comes into question and there _ is a pressure and i can understand why people elect not to go. - if you search for prom dresses or suits online, a lot of them are around £100, if not significantly more. factor in then the fact you might need new shoes, a new bag. you might get your hair and makeup done and you might want to arrive in style if the taxi of mum and dad isn't cool enough. plus, you've got the actual price of the prom ticket. it's expensive. which is why this is a really good idea. we put a post out on social media asking for donations of prom dresses and suits, and then itjust went absolutely nuts online. wejust thought, right, let's put on an event where actually our students and our community could come and actually enjoy these dresses without having to spend
6:25 am
that price tag. and what about this one? 16—year—old isabella can't decide which dress to say yes to. sometimes some people cannot afford those dresses because it's very expensive. it gives them the opportunity to have the same experience of me and all of those people that bought them dresses to like go to prom and have a time to celebrate with their friends. meanwhile, in the suit department, alex sees prom as a time to say goodbye to his friends and teachers and is ready to get suited up for the occasion. how do you want to feel when you put your suit on? i feel confident. like a professional. kind of like james bond, yeah. you have a navy blue, black and white, or black and gold. and this idea is not only helping the pocket, but the planet, too. we're really keen on sustainability and some of these prom dresses that you can see around, they've been worn once and then sit in the back of a wardrobe. and if they can come to use again, then that's great for us.
6:26 am
0rganisers say they've been donated around 100 outfits and the clothes in all their sparkly glory will stay put for the next few weeks here at dixon's unity academy for both students and people elsewhere in the community. beth parsons, bbc news, leeds. best of luck to everybody sitting exams and preparing for the prom! it is such a big time of life. does that bring _ is such a big time of life. does that bring back _ is such a big time of life. does that bring back memories? - is such a big time of life. does| that bring back memories? not is such a big time of life. does - that bring back memories? not all aood that bring back memories? not all good ones. _ that bring back memories? not all good ones. i _ that bring back memories? not all good ones, i will— that bring back memories? not all good ones, i will tell— that bring back memories? not all good ones, i will tell you - that bring back memories? not all good ones, i will tell you later, . good ones, i will tell you later, prom night. good ones, i will tell you later, prom night-— good ones, i will tell you later, prom night. coming up. cheese chasers from all over the world will be throwing themselves down this steep hill in gloucestershire later in a bid to prove they're feta than the rest! sorry! we'll be joined by last year's cheese rolling winner at ten to eight. i think that is her. she came over from canada. _ i think that is her. she came over from canada, to _ i think that is her. she came over from canada, to compete, - i think that is her. she came over from canada, to compete, she i i think that is her. she came over i from canada, to compete, she won

6:28 am
with the cost of commuting up, some welcome news for passengers travelling on southern, thamelink and great northern who can now take advantage of a new ticketing system. passengers will pay no more than the value of a weekly season ticket for multiple journeys between two stations. bosses say it will benefit commuters unsure how often they will be travelling to their place of work. we really want our customers to take advantage of this because ultimately it will save them money over the week. so typically a customer travelling from brighton to london could be saving £120 if they go in four days a week. so this is a really good way of our customers saving money on our railways. a new giant mosaic has been unveiled at ally pally to help to mark its 150th anniversary. it's made up of more than 2,000 photographs sent in by people sharing their memories of the palace. it will be a permanent display at the london landmark. let's take a look at the tubes now.
6:29 am
now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, for the end of the bank holiday weekend, once more today, we'll see some scattered heavy showers developing, but there will be some decent spells of sunshine in between the showers. now, the showers today are unlikely to turn into thunderstorms as they were yesterday. but still, if you do catch one of these showers around into the afternoon, they could be heavy in places. but some sunny spells, some patchy cloud in between, and temperatures — well, reaching around 15 to 17 or maybe 18 celsius. now, for the evening, those showers will continue for a time before fading overnight with clear skies, but then by the end of the night we'll start to see some thicker cloud arriving in from the southwest, and temperatures holding up at around eight to 11 celsius. now, it does mean, for tomorrow, quite an unsettled day. we have low pressure nearby — these set of weather fronts bringing
6:30 am
some cloud and some outbreaks of rain for a time, too. so quite a cloudy, wet day for many tomorrow, improving to sunshine and scattered showers, and for the rest of the week staying quite unsettled — there'll be some further showers at times, and temperatures in the mid—to—high teens. that's your forecast. now, the london transport museum's got a new exhibition, celebrating the first woman to hop behind the steering wheel of a london bus 50 years ago. you can read an article all about her 20—year career and legacy on our website. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. with campaigning now well under way for the general election, party leaders are travelling up and down the uk, trying to convince voters to back their party ahead of polling day. there will be 650 seats up for grabs so, over the next few weeks, we're taking a look at some
6:31 am
of the constituencies that could prove key to deciding the outcome on the 11th ofjuly. where are we heading to today? let's have a look at the constituency of east worthing and shoreham in west sussex. on may 3rd, labour took control of adur district council from the conservatives for the first time ever. now, residents there are preparing to go back to the ballot box to decide who will be their mp. in 2019, the conservatives held the seat with a majority of around 7,500. but if the results of the local elections are an indication of voting intentions, it could be one to watch. 0ur reporter sean killick has been speaking to voters in the coastal village of lancing. between worthing and hove, the south downs and the sea, lancing often goes unnoticed and unheard. but earlier this month, the people of adur spoke — and, for the first time ever,
6:32 am
collectively said labour. conservative mp tim loughton is standing down after more than a quarter of a century. at this local cafe, people have been digesting all the news. for mick, rod, marshall, peter and ken, the election surprise announcement was the talk of their weekly catch—up. rishi sunak out in the rain. i mean, what a dope! he didn't even have an umbrella, did he? you know what i mean?! and he's in charge of the country?! laughter. you can't have the green party in cos they'll have cycle lanes up the m1. the liberals haven't got the experience. so you're left between labour and conservative. and out of the two, my opinion is i think conservative would be better than keir starmer. the working man deserves a better deal than they're i getting at the moment, _ and hopefully a labour government will look after the people that| haven't got so much as maybe the middle classes - and the higher classes. well, i mean, it wasn't the conservatives that put the inflation up this time. it was effects... it was affected by things
6:33 am
going on around the world. outside the cafe, katie was passing by with her two young children — who'll be on her mind on election day. i think it's exciting, and i think we're going to be voting for change because there needs to be a change. but i do hope that the subsidised places for younger children at nurseries carries on. we're either voting labour or green because it's where our hearts lie — especially in green! lee and pippa — who both have ill health — say they struggle to get by. they stopped to talk with me on their way to the food bank. that's where we're going now. you're worried about the cost of living. cos of the cost of living, it's gone through the roof. you still think the conservatives should get back in? yes. they've helped us more than anybody. yes, they have. they stood by us. with what they've got to play with — which isn't a lot — they've juggled it where it's tried to help the poorer rather than the richer. yeah, i agree with that. he came out in his suit, soaking wet, god bless him. roll on.

6:36 am
to leave gloomy days behind. both went through relegation last season, but a route back up the league opened up for southampton. southampton announce their wembley arrival! the goal from adam armstrong, the saints had lift—off. they beat leeds twice in the regular season. now their opponents tried a patient approach. crysencio summerville took time and took aim. but leeds' lack of chances was shown by the faces. it all might have changed with one strike of the ball. denied by the crossbar! but this club now face up to one more year at this level. after nine months of the season, a tense race for promotion. in the end, it came down to one goalfor the saints. southampton, back to the premier league! this is one of the top days in our history. magic day. it's massive — like, _ you saw today about just the size

of the football club, - i think it goes under the radar quite a lot and on days like this- really comes out and you really see, actually, how well—supported the club is as a city. - and itjust means everything to finally be back where - we belong, ithink. it was difficult all season, it was a hard season — and we came back straight away. so southampton depart wembley knowing in august they'll be a premier league club again. it is the team from the south coast marching in and looking upwards. joe lynskey, bbc news, at wembley. ross county will be playing scottish premiership football for a sixth consecutive season — after avoiding relegation at the final hurdle. once again they've won the playoff final, this time comfortably seeing off raith rovers. 0n—loan birmingham city man brandon khela scoring his debut goal to make it 4—0, and 6—1 on aggregate. the men's side fell short against celtic at the weekend — but rangers have won the women's scottish cup final, lizzie arnot�*s goal helping them beat hearts 2—0 at hampden park

to secure a cup double. it's the first time they've won the trophy, and might help ease the pain a little of losing the domestic title to celtic on goal difference. in what's likely to be his last ever french open, andy murray's been knocked out in the opening round at roland garros. he was up against another veteran in stanislas wawrinka — a former winner in paris and fellow three—time grand slam champion. wawrinka's two years older than murray — 39 now — but the better clay court player, and he took advantage of murray's lack of court time lately winning in straight sets 6—4, 6—4, 6—2. they shared a nice moment at the net afterwards, having had a fair few battles across the years. could this be the last? elsewhere, jack draper was also beaten in the first round. katie boulter, cam norrie, dan evans and harriet dart all play today or tomorrow. wigan are level on points with super league leaders st helens and warrington after a hard—fought win at salford. the warriors — already world club challenge winners and challenge cup finalists this season — made it five wins from six

with a hard—fought victory. 26—6, it finished. elsewhere hull kr won 611—14 at london broncos. charles leclerc says his ultimate dream has come true — after winning his home grand prix in monaco. the track is where he grew up and his father, who died from cancer before watching him compete in f1, was at the front of his mind during the race he says. leclerc had started on pole twice before and failed to win, but this was third time lucky. he had to wait a little longer to secure victory after a huge crash on the opening lap between sergio perez and kevin magnussen. both drivers walked away unscathed but took no further part in the race, neither did nico hulkenberg. when it finally resumed, leclerc pulled away from his rivals to take the chequered flag and close the gap on max verstappen in the driver's championship to 31 points. drivers' championship to 31 points. 0scar piastri was second, carlos sainz third. britons lando norris, george russell and lewis hamilton were fourth, fifth and seventh respectively.
6:40 am
i did not expect the race to be so difficult to manage emotionally and mentally—wise. i had so many thoughts of the people i have mentioned already in the last ten laps, and that was very difficult to manage because, even though i knew the pace was extremely good, you have to stay on it on a track like this, and it was very, very difficult. two—time tour de france winner tadej pogacar has added the giro d'italia to his collection and by the biggest overall margin since 1965. the slovenian won six of the 21 stages in a dominant performance on his debut in the race. belgium's tim merlier beat jonathan milan to the stage victory. colombia's dani martinez was second overall with britain's geraint thomas third and completing the podium. some sad news to bring you next —
6:41 am
the british event rider georgie campbell has died after falling from her horse at the bicton international horse trials in devon. campbell, seen here at badminton six years ago under her maiden name strang, competed in more than 200 events. the sport's governing body, british eventing, says "medical professionals attended immediately following herfall, however she could not be saved." her horse wasn't hurt. she was married to fellow riderjesse campbell. jack laugher�*s preparations for the paris 0lympics are progressing nicely after double success at the british diving championships. the 2016 olympic champion won gold in the men's 3m syncronised springboard final alongside anthony harding — a day after he won the individual title. the pair have also claimed world silver and bronze medals over the past 12 months. we weren't firing on all cylinders today. it is the morning, but what is great
6:42 am
about this competition is it's the same time as our one in paris will be, so a great little run—through. obviously a bit difficult for me, coming off the back of the individual, feeling a bit tired, but we still scored over 420, which is a great score, great benchmark. we've just got to keep going, stay injury—free and stay positive. noah williams also won gold, this his last dive in the men's platform, but he fell fractionally short of what he needed to secure his place in the event in paris, needing a score of 480 for that, he scored 1173.2. heartbreakingly close. but the selectors could still pick him at their discretion for the olympics. and in the women's synchronised 3m springboard final, the european games champions amy rollinson and desharne bent—ashmeil took gold. the pair have not been selected for paris 2024, but will be targeting success at the european championships in serbia next month. and manchester city put aside the disappointment of losing saturday's fa cup final as they showed off the other trophies they've won in front of thousands of their fans last night.

navigate the one—way system, carrying my bag stop chetan, thank you very much indeed. carol has got a look at the bank holiday weather. good morning. good morning. very mixed through the week, temperatures close to where we expect them to be at this time of year. the 1st ofjune is the start of meteorological summer. we are looking at some heavy showers through the week, some thundery. but low pressure loses its grip on our weather and it looks like high pressure will take over towards the end of the week, so things at the moment i looking drier into next weekend. if you are just about to step out these other temperatures that will greet you. most in double figures, bit chilly in the highlands where it is only 6 degrees. this is where it is only 6 degrees. this is where it is only 6 degrees. this is where it has been pretty wet overnight, north—west scotland, the isle of skye, 0uter overnight, north—west scotland, the isle of skye, outer hebrides. a lot of showers across the west and south and quite a few currently across the
6:45 am
east. some of us starting off with some sunshine first thing, we will see the cloud bubble up through the morning, and further showers will develop. the heaviest showers likely to be across the north—east but as we go through the afternoon it will cloud over across the isles of scilly and cornwall, with some rain coming in on a new weather front. the southern england, wales, northern ireland, northern england, southern scotland, we hang on to bright skies and showers, but some of those showers in the north—east will be slow heavy and thundery, maybe even some hail in there. through this evening showers fade quite quickly, the temperature will fall away under clear skies and you can see the progress our weather front is making. where you have the cloud and rain it will be fairly mild, but chilly where we have the clear skies overnight. this front is attached to another area of low pressure coming our way. through the course of tomorrow it will slowly push northwards and eastwards through the day. here it is, making
6:46 am
progress through northern ireland, wales, down to the south—east. another weather front right behind it, bringing further rate. the driest conditions tomorrow could be where it is wettest today, in north—east scotland, butjust the chance of a shower. these are our temperatures again, 1a to 17 degrees. into wednesday, low pressure still with us, so we are still looking at variable cloud, some sunny skies, showers down the east coast in particular, once again they could be heavy, may be the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures 13 to 19 degrees. the outlook beyond that starts to settle down a touch. we will have some rain coming in from the north sea at times, which means it will be cooler here but as we head towards the weekend and that area of high pressure starts to build on, temperatures will start to rise, this is the start of meteorological summer on saturday, the 1st ofjune. but we will see
6:47 am
more settled conditions coming our way so that is something to look forward to. it really is. thank you, carol. are you a keen gardener? you it really is. thank you, carol. are you a keen gardener?— it really is. thank you, carol. are you a keen gardener? you know what? in m old you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age — you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age i'm _ you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age i'm getting _ you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age i'm getting into - you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age i'm getting into it. - you a keen gardener? you know what? in my old age i'm getting into it. i - in my old age i'm getting into it. i never used to be but i really enjoy it now. never used to be but i really en'oy it now. ., ., , , it now. old age, nonsense! laughter _ laughter there is something therapeutic about bein- there is something therapeutic about being in_ there is something therapeutic about being in the rain. 50 there is something therapeutic about being in the rain. sol there is something therapeutic about being in the rain.— being in the rain. so i believe. so the tell being in the rain. so i believe. so they tell me- _ being in the rain. so i believe. so they tell me. all— being in the rain. so i believe. so they tell me. all of— being in the rain. so i believe. so they tell me. all of those - being in the rain. so i believe. so| they tell me. all of those planning on spending _ they tell me. all of those planning on spending a _ they tell me. all of those planning on spending a bank _ they tell me. all of those planning on spending a bank holiday - they tell me. all of those planning on spending a bank holiday out i they tell me. all of those planning on spending a bank holiday out in | on spending a bank holiday out in the garden, it doesn't look like the best weather but when the sun finally — best weather but when the sun finally makes an appearance you know what you _ finally makes an appearance you know what you have to do. whether you've got a well established lawn or a window box on a balcony — there are lots of things you can do to brighten up the space without it costing a fortune as our cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out. if you're thinking of turning your yard into a green oasis, sprucing up your alley, beautifying your balcony, or glamming up the garden, you're not alone.
6:48 am
but with rising costs all around us, is it possible without spending a fortune? let's face it, a trip to any garden centre doesn't come cheap, and the cost of garden furniture can be an absolute fortune. so i've come here to try and find out if it's possible to do up your garden space on the cheap. good morning! this urban garden show is the first of its kind. how do we get in? and manchester's very own cloud gardener has loads of advice on how to make small changes without spending megabucks. i have an 18th—floor balcony. this is a shelf and this is a chest of drawers. they got this from a charity shop, and what they've done is they've upcycled it, they've outdoor—proofed it. you see these tin cans, as well. and i suppose, when you're renting, you've got to think about the moveability of your garden, haven't you? exactly. you'll see there's nothing drilled
6:49 am
into any of the walls or anything like that. and that is to really showcase that, actually, you can build a garden like this, but should this family want to move, theyjust need to pick it up and take it to their next destination. removal men might roll their eyes, if they saw this! it is absolutely possible to garden cheaper! — i have friends that also lovei gardening, so you can divide plants and swap. i use my toilet rolls to grow my runner beans in, and my sweet peas. so you're not using any plastic, so you're not buying any plant pots. grow as much as you can in pots and you get loads in a small space. you'll never throw- anything away again — like milk cartons over there. just cut the side out of them. i grew up somewhere we literally lived in a terraced house with a yard. lisa's an expert grower, and she agrees you don't have to spend a fortune. start small — start on your windowsill if you've got one. use whatever containers you have to hand. if you can't divide it, you can probably take a cutting of it — so that's usually a small section of stem that you then get to root. i do a lot of container growing
6:50 am
at home, and i grow the things i like and i grow things that my daughter likes. she loves the blueberry plants — i don't get a look in. the blueberries are gone? the blueberries are gone. she's helping me harvest. galium odorata. yeah, i grow a few bits from seeds. i've recently got into microgreens because it's a superfood. - we come from the channel islands, so it's really expensive and we've only got a limited choice, so we upcycle as much as we can because we're on the low end of wage. it gives you a chance to be really creative with colour and scent and so many other things. i found that whenever i put myself in nature, i start to feel ambitious. one man who's experienced the importance of a green space is the rapper tinie tempah. # yeah, yeah. # we bring the stars out. # we bring the women and the cars and the cards out... i grew up in south east london, grew up in the sprawling council estate. when he was 12, the family moved house and tinie had access to a garden for the first time. itjust felt like liberation, felt like we were just living in an environment that we were...i
6:51 am
was more able to thrive in. so maybe over the next few days you can carve out a little haven for yourself without spending a fortune. colletta smith, bbc news in manchester. that was so interesting, even if you have a tiny bit of space it is easy to take it for granted but as tinie said, it changed his whole outlook on life, moving to a house with a bit of space. if you're keen to attract more wildlife to your garden, one of the best ways — according to the wildlife trust — is to make a pond. it's something the bbc�*s climate editorjustin rowlatt did three years ago and it's been thriving ever since — let's catch up withjustin now, who's made the long trip to the bottom of his garden for us this morning. thanks for putting in the effort on

7:00 am
now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, for the end of the bank holiday weekend, once more today, we'll see some scattered heavy showers developing, but there will be some decent spells of sunshine in between the showers. now, the showers today are unlikely to turn into thunderstorms as they were yesterday. but still, if you do catch one of these showers around into the afternoon, they could be heavy in places. but some sunny spells, some patchy cloud in between, and temperatures — well, reaching around 15 to 17 or maybe 18 celsius. now, for the evening, those showers will continue for a time before fading overnight with clear skies, but then by the end of the night we'll start to see some thicker cloud arriving in from the southwest, and temperatures holding up at around eight to 11 celsius. now, it does mean, for tomorrow, quite an unsettled day. we have low pressure nearby — these set of weather fronts bringing some cloud and some outbreaks of rain for a time, too. so quite a cloudy, wet day for many tomorrow, improving to sunshine and scattered
7:01 am
showers, and for the rest of the week staying quite unsettled — there'll be some further showers at times, and temperatures in the mid—to—high teens. that's your forecast. now, the london transport musuem's got a new exhibition celebrating the first woman to hop drive a london bus 50 years ago. you can read an article all about her 20 year career and legacy on our website. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. bye bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay.

showers, the heaviest in north—east scotland, and later some more rain coming in across south—west england. all of the details throughout the programme. all of the details throughout the programme. it's monday 27th may. our main story. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 35 people have been killed and dozens injured in an explosion at a refugee camp near rafah. the israel defense forces said it had carried out an air strike targeting a compound where senior hamas officials had gathered. it says it's reviewing the incident after reports that civilians had also been harmed. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is injerusalem. what more do we know, particularly about the impact on civilians? brute about the impact on civilians? we know at about the impact on civilians? - know at least 35 people have been killed after this air strike, the explosion and the fire that ripped through an area that was being used to shelter displaced palestinians, thousands of them living there in
7:04 am
tents having been moved from their homes by the fighting and conflict in gaza. the israeli military says this was a targeted strike, precision strike using precision weapons against a legitimate target, hamas fighters, two of them that it says were killed in this and the strike inadvertently started a fire which then spread to the tents and thatis which then spread to the tents and that is why civilians have been caught up in it. it says it is investigating the circumstances of the incident. hamas says this is an air strike on the incident. hamas says this is an airstrike on an the incident. hamas says this is an air strike on an area dedicated as a safe humanitarian zone where displaced people were living. it comes after hamas fired rockets earlier yesterday at central israel, the first time tel aviv and that area had come under attack since january. that didn't cause any serious damage or casualties, most of the rockets were intercepted by israel's air defence systems. this does jeopardise potential negotiations to reach a ceasefire which had been hoped to start as early as tomorrow mediated by egypt

and qatar. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been under increasing treasure to changes —— pressure to change his strategy, the israeli public protesting for the israeli public protesting for the return of hostages, and there was a ruling from an international court over the friday calling for the jon has a round—up of the day's other stories. and we billing with the election. —— begin it with the election. sir keir starmer will attempt to appeal to undecided voters later in a keynote speech, saying they can trust labour with the nation's finances, security and borders. but the conservatives say he has no clear plan. this report from our political correspondent, leila nathoo. the first weekend of campaigning, and the party leaders have been setting out their stalls. in trying to convince voters
7:06 am
that they should be first choice, there's no time to waste. sir keir starmer began the weekend promising votes for 16 and 17—year—olds in the future. he'll be giving a speech later in the south east. but labour's been wanting to focus on the economy, saying only they can be trusted to ensure stability. rachel reeves wants the chance to make decisions on tax and spending. she said there would be no rises in income tax or national insurance under labour, but acknowledged there would be difficult decisions ahead. i'm under no illusions about the scale of the challenge that i will inherit if i become chancellor in just a few weeks' time. but that's why i've already announced an immediate injection of cash into our front line public services by ensuring that non—doms pay their fair share of tax and we crack down on tax avoidance. there was a warning from economists that all parties needed to be more honest about the state of public finances. we are the ones talking about the windfall tax on the oil and gas companies.
7:07 am
i've already made clear that the tax cuts to the big banks the conservatives have given since 2015, they need to be reversed and we'll show that we are being responsible. the tories have hinted at further tax cuts if they stay in power, but they announced an eye—catching policy of mandatory national service for all 18—year—olds, either full time military service for a year or one weekend a month volunteering in public services. it's about addressing the fragmentation that we've seen in society, too many young people living in their own bubble, whether it be a digital bubble or a social bubble. and we want to get back to the situation where people are mixing with young people from different areas, different economic groups, different religions, to try and find a way of addressing the kind of fragmentation that we see too much. you'll be seeing buses like this one on a road near you as politicians traverse the country vying for votes. there's a long road ahead to polling day for all parties. they'll be trying to attract attention until then. leila nathoo, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent hannah
7:08 am
miller is in our london newsroom. hannah, despite it being a bank holiday, most people having a bit of a break, they might hope, but the politicians are working very hard for every vote already. the politician _ for every vote already. the politician is _ for every vote already. the politician is hoping - for every vote already. iie: politician is hoping that people spend their bank holiday listening carefully to their messages although i suspect that even they know that that probably won't be the case for most people as they get out and about. keir starmer is making his speech today very much aimed at people who are not close followers of politics, people who might not necessarily have made up their mind, trying to convince them that the labour party has changed and is ready to serve the country. he will be admitting that there are, though, still people who have questions about whether labour really can be trusted, and by talking about priorities around national security, border security, economic security, he will be hoping that those kind of
7:09 am
messages get through to people. the conservatives have already called his speech a speech that basically doesn't say anything will stop but they are facing their own set of quite tough questions after their national service announcement yesterday. this idea that 18—year—olds would have to either join the armed services in some way for a year or do weekends, one weekend a month of community volunteering. rishi sunak this morning is really doubling down on that policy, despite it coming under quite heavy criticism throughout the day yesterday. they are suggesting that one way of encouraging people to do the armed forces element of it might be to give them fast track access to civil service job interviews, or interviews at other major employers. we will let it be seen whether that actually ever comes to pass or whether it is something that convinces people. as for the lib dems, they have got
7:10 am
their scottish launch today, so they too will be hoping to grab people's attention. the bank holiday may be for many people but certainly not for many people but certainly not for our political leaders. abs]!!! for many people but certainly not for our political leaders.- for our political leaders. all for ou, for our political leaders. all for you. hannah! _ for our political leaders. all for you, hannah! thank— for our political leaders. all for you, hannah! thank you i for our political leaders. all for you, hannah! thank you for i for our political leaders. all for i you, hannah! thank you for now. an investigation is continuing following the death of a royal air force pilot. mark long was killed when the spitfire he was flying crashed near raf coningsby in lincolnshire on saturday. he was described as "a great friend, colleague and a passionate, professional aviator" as phillip norton reports. hugely respected and highly talented. squadron leader mark long was one of the raf�*s finest pilots. he served his country in modern day fighterjets and relished the chance to honour wartime heroes. he was due to take command at the battle of britain memorial flight later this year. outside the hangar at the team's base at raf coningsby, where he took off from on saturday, a sign still shows the expected departure and return time for the spitfire he was flying. but the aircraft crashed
7:11 am
into a field a short distance from the lincolnshire runway. a great friend, colleague and a passionate professional aviator, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him. already many flowers have been left here. this is a community proud to live side by side with the royal air force. i think everyone's respectful to the family at this time, to the air force. you can see them flying over, and you could see them yesterday as well, and then to hear that it's happened, it's devastating. squadron leader long had helped train future pilots as an instructor and previously delighted crowds as a typhoon fighter jet display pilot. he first flew the spitfire in 2021. this is the aircraft he was flying on saturday, spitfire mk356. one of only a handful still flying, which saw active service during the second world war, including taking part
7:12 am
in d—day operations. it's been in existence since 1957, and this is the first fatality in all those years of operating the battle of britain memorial flight. the royal family are among those who have paid tribute to squadron leader long, adding to the outpouring of love and support from many of those who've admired his flying skills at airshows across the country. the raf says an investigation is under way into what caused the crash and that their thoughts remain with mark's family and friends. phillip norton, bbc news, at raf coningsby in lincolnshire. police investigating the fatal stabbing of a woman on a bournemouth beach have released cctv images of a suspect. detectives have urged anyone who recognises the person in these images to come forward. a 34—year—old woman died in the attack on friday and a 38—year—old woman was seriously injured.
7:13 am
officers have already made an arrest in connection with the case. that person remains in custody. more than 140 hospitals in england have confirmed they'll introduce a new system, which gives seriously ill patients easy access to a second opinion, if their condition worsens. it follows a campaign by the parents of martha mills, who died of sepsis because her symptoms were missed. "martha's rule" will allow worried patients to phone a dedicated number and ask for an urgent review of their care. twelve people have been injured due to turbulence on a flight from doha to dublin. eight of those passengers had to be taken to hospital after landing in ireland. it comes just six days after a 73—year—old british man, geoff kitchen, died from a suspected heart attack due to extreme turbulence on a singapore airlines flight. melanoma skin cancer cases
7:14 am
are at an all—time high, with over 20,000 people expected to be diagnosed this year. cancer research uk says people need to do more to protect themselves from the sun. here's our correspondent chi chi izundu. going to take a locating photograph. these are just some of the examples of what melanoma skin cancer can look like. and according to cancer research uk, the number of cases of this serious and often most dangerous form of the disease is on the rise. rates of melanoma have increased by almost a third over a decade, from 21 to 28 per 100,000 people between 2007 and 2009 and 2017 and 2019. it's more common in the elderly. among those aged over 80, there was a 57% rise, while amongst those aged 25 to 49, there was a 7% increase.
7:15 am
17,000 melanoma cases every year are preventable, with almost nine in ten caused by too much ultraviolet radiation. and one source of that uv radiation comes from the sun, damaging skin cells and causing cancer. we think that there are a few different reasons for this record high of melanoma skin cancer cases. the main one being too much exposure to ultraviolet or uv radiation from the sun and sunbeds, which is why it's so important to take care in the sun. but there are other factors at play as well. here in the uk we have an ageing population and age is a big risk factor for cancer. we also have a growing population, so when we have more people we're going to see more cases. another reason the figures are up is because people are getting better at spotting abnormalities and going to the gp. last month, experts revealed a game changing jab is being trialled
7:16 am
on british patients, which has dramatically reduced the risk of melanoma returning. but prevention is key. in order to stay safe, apply generously high factor sunscreen often, cover up and avoid the sun between 11 and three. chi chi izundu, bbc news. the fbi is investigating the sale to us buyers of what are suspected to be hundreds of treasures from the british museum. the gallery confirmed in august that a large number of objects were missing. a police investigation is under way. here's our culture and media editor katie razzall. danish antiquities dealer ittai gradel is the man who first warned the british museum that an insider was stealing its treasures. three pieces i am bringing back to the museum. he'd bought these ancient gems and hundreds of others in good faith. but when he realised they may be stolen,
7:17 am
and tried to raise the alarm, the museum brushed him off. these items were sold for such measly amounts that this suggested to me that what i'd discovered was only the tip of a much larger iceberg. eventually, one of its senior curators, peter higgs, was sacked. he denies any wrongdoing, and the police are still investigating. we've been hunting down artefacts the british museum says have disappeared. we've discovered that two gems were unwittingly put on display at another museum in germany. we've also established that around 260 ended up in washington, dc — the fbi has been investigating. but many of the objects hadn't been catalogued, which means the museum hasn't yet been able to prove they were actually stolen. it's since begun to register all its objects, and has improved security. the truth is, mistakes were made. but i think in life it's how you respond to those
7:18 am
mistakes that matters. the museum today — a couple of years on — as a result of this saga, i think is much more open, much more transparent. of the 1,500 items it believes were taken, the british museum has got back almost half. but others — including ancient gold jewellery and other treasures missing from its collection — will likely never be found. katie razzall, bbc news. katie will bejoining katie will be joining us katie will bejoining us in katie will be joining us in the katie will bejoining us in the next hour offering a little bit more detail about the investigation, it it really is fascinating. it’s detail about the investigation, it it really is fascinating.— it really is fascinating. it's bank hohda it really is fascinating. it's bank holiday monday, _ it really is fascinating. it's bank holiday monday, that _ it really is fascinating. it's bank holiday monday, that means i it really is fascinating. it's bankl holiday monday, that means the weather really matters to people's plans. carol can tell it how it is looking, good morning. good morning. we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers in short, some of with sunshine, some cloud, but worth mentioning grass

the area affected by the water parasite outbreak but where visitors this weekend are still asking if the water is safe to drink. 0ver this weekend are still asking if the water is safe to drink. over on the other side of the valley on the top of the hill is the water tank where traces of the parasite cryptosporidium were first detected, nearly two weeks ago now. south west water says that traces of that parasite are still being detected in the network which is served by that water tank, and the water company says there need to be three days of clear tests before it can give the all clear. there are around 2500 homes and businesses are still having to boil their water. so far there have been 77 confirmed cases of cryptosporidiosis, but people are only asked to report symptoms if they last for more than seven days. yesterday we were over on that side of the river speaking to people who have been affected by this situation. at the ship inn in kingswear, it looks like a normal
7:22 am
bank holiday weekend — until you see the bottled water, which has been part of life here for nearly two weeks now. a lot of cancellations have happened and, to be honest, i don't blame people because they're so worried. landlady hannah canu says it should be much busier than this. 0h, i'd say around, like, 50% have not come down for the bank holiday. like, its bank holiday sunday, and it's a sunny day, and it's so quiet. but, you know, you see a lot of people walking around — i think theyjust don't trust coming in just in case they might catch it. and also, you can catch it from person to person. so maybe they're just not risking it, i don't know. this water tank a few miles away has been flushed and declared clean, but traces of the cryptosporidium parasite are still being found in the network it serves. 2,500 homes and businesses are still waiting for the all—clear. southwest water believes a damaged air valve on a pipe in a field
7:23 am
is how the parasite — which can be found in animalfaeces — got into the system. in nearby brixham, it's a week since people in the lower part of the town were told their water was safe. and now almost every bench is busy. how does this compare to a normal bank holiday? well, we have known it busier, obviously. did the water thing put you off? not really, no. just bring bottles of water with us and getting on with it. it's very empty. it's put a lot of people off. the water companies are useless — they spend all our money...but don't put any investment into it. so we're all using old pipes from donkey's years ago. traders here say business is starting to return to normal after a very quiet few days. today's buzzing — it's really good. to the point i was here yesterday — yesterday was good, but today's even better.

0thers tell us visitor numbers are down — but notjust because of the water issue. the cost of living and the weather are factors, too. in kingswear, they hope the things no—one can take away will be enough to see them through. oh, my god, it's the most amazing place in the world. you have everything — you've got the steam trains, you've got family boat trips to the castle. you've... you've just got everything and it's so kiddy—friendly, as well. it's brilliant. there's lots to do. we just come down for a few days and, you know, we're not really...not really that concerned about it, to be honest. the campsite were really good. as soon as we checked in on friday night, they were like, _ take two big bottles of water — obviously for the dog — - but, like i said, we've arrived i with a full tank of water on board so, you know, we didn'tl think there'd be an issue with showering in the water. obviously we're not drinking it but, no, we're fine. _ south west water says businesses will be offered compensation on a case—by—case basis.

7:29 am
fishing and going to museums as part of research to tackle loneliness. it's a project led by university college london to see how effective so—called social prescribing is in reducing mental health issues and improving school attendance. around 100 pupils are being recruited for the pilot phase which starts this year. with the cost of commuting up, some welcome news for passengers travelling on southern, thamelink and great northern, who can now take advantage of a new ticketing system. passengers will pay no more than the value of a weekly season ticket for multiple journeys between two stations. bosses say it will benefit commuters unsure how often they will be travelling to their place of work. we really want our customers to take advantage of this because ultimately it will save them money over the week. so typically a customer travelling from brighton to london could be saving £120 if they go in four days a week. so this is a really good way of our customers saving money on our railways.
7:30 am
a new giant mosaic has been unveiled at ally pally to help to mark its 150th anniversary. it's made up of more than 2,000 photographs sent in by people sharing their memories of the palace. it will be a permanent display at the london landmark. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, for the end of the bank holiday weekend, once more today, we'll see some scattered heavy showers developing, but there will be some decent spells of sunshine in between the showers. now, the showers today are unlikely to turn into thunderstorms as they were yesterday. but still, if you do catch one of these showers around into the afternoon, they could be heavy in places. but some sunny spells, some patchy cloud in between, and temperatures — well, reaching around 15 to 17 or maybe 18 celsius. now, for the evening, those showers will continue for a time before fading overnight with clear skies, but then
7:31 am
by the end of the night we'll start to see some thicker cloud arriving in from the southwest, and temperatures holding up at around eight to 11 celsius. now, it does mean, for tomorrow, quite an unsettled day. we have low pressure nearby — these set of weather fronts bringing some cloud and some outbreaks of rain for a time, too. so quite a cloudy, wet day for many tomorrow, improving to sunshine and scattered showers, and for the rest of the week staying quite unsettled — there'll be some further showers at times, and temperatures in the mid—to—high teens. that's your forecast. now, the london transport musuem's got a new exhibition celebrating the first woman to drive a london bus 50 years ago. you can read an article all about her 20—year career and legacy on our website. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. bye—bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. with campaigning now well underway
7:32 am
for the general election, party leaders are travelling up and down the uk, trying to convince voters to back their party ahead of polling day. there will be 650 seats up for grabs — so over the next few weeks, we're taking a look at some of the constituencies that could prove key to deciding the outcome on the lith ofjuly. maldon, in essex, was reinstated as a constituency in 2010 and has been held by the conservative mp sirjohn whittingdale ever since. as you can see, maldon has a conservative majority of more than 30,000. that's more than 70% of the vote. overturning it would be a seismic win for labour. 0ur reporter debbie tubby has been getting a sense of what some of the big issues are for voters there. maldon is one of the oldest recorded towns in essex, and one of the safest political seats in the region. it's been conservative
7:33 am
for several years. i think it's brilliant that they've called it early, and i think it's time for conservatives to go and labour to have a go at trying to sort out the mess of our country. # i'd sit alone - and watch your light. the eurovision singer sam ryder was born here — a town known for the maldon mud race, sea salt, and the thames barges that still sail from the hythe. i like to think it would change, if i'm honest. i think there's been a lot of events in the last few years that have made people question their loyalties, so i think it's wide open now. it's not only a maritime town, but it has a weekly market. unfortunately, i haven't got a lot of faith in any politicians or any of the government at the moment. everyone just seems to be making a right mess of everything, and your average person is struggling and they all seem so disconnected from us. and it's hard work all the time just to make a living, pay your bills. and... yeah, so, unfortunately none of them
7:34 am
are worth being there, as far as i'm concerned. it's only going to be labour or conservative, obviously. i know the liberals would try, but it'sjust between the two, and i think labour will get in. he's called it in the football, hasn't he? so he'll be watching football while he does it. that's why he's done it, isn't it? the market traders, like the political parties, have set up their stalls not to sell their products, but their policies. i sort of see it as...two masks on the same face, so i don't really get involved with politics and the government and stuff. i've absolutely no faith in any of it at all, really. i've voted every election and i'm looking at not. voting at all this time. i've just lost faith — faith in... i've always voted for one party, but i haven't got faith - in that any more now. so... i just... i don't know, i might evenjust go and spoil the vote just _ to say i've attended. many punters think this sign sums up the politicians of today, but the people here will have the power to decide the future of the maldon constituency.

7:44 am
in the opening round at roland garros. he was up against another veteran in stanislas wawrinka, a former winner in paris and fellow three—time grand slam champion. wawrinka's two years older than murray, 39 now, but the better clay court player and he took advantage of murray's lack of court time lately winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. they shared a nice moment at the net afterwards, having had a fair few battles across the years. could this be the last? elsewhere jack draper was also beaten in the first round. katie boulter, cam norrie, dan evans and harriet dart all play today or tomorrow. wigan are level on points with super league leaders st helens and warrington after a hard—fought win at salford. the warriors, already world club challenge winners and challenge cup finalists this season, made it five wins from six with a hard—fought victory. 26—6, it finished. elsewhere, hull kr won 64—14 at london broncos. charles leclerc says his ultimate dream has come true —
7:45 am
after winning his home grand prix in monaco. the track is where he grew up and his father, who died from cancer before watching him compete in f1, was at the front of his mind during the race he says. leclerc had started on pole twice before and failed to win, but this was third time lucky. he had to wait a little longer to secure victory after a huge crash on the opening lap between sergio perez and kevin magnussen. both drivers walked away unscathed but took no further part in the race, neither did nico hulkenberg. when it finally resumed, leclerc pulled away from his rivals to take the chequered flag and close the gap on max verstappen in the driver's championship to 31 points. oscar piastri was second, carlos sainz third. britons lando norris, george russell and lewis hamilton were 4th, 5th and 7th respectively. two—time tour de france winner tadej pogacar has added the giro d'italia to his collection, and by the biggest overall margin since 1965.

7:47 am
the 2016 olympic champion won gold in the men's 3m synchronised springboard final alongside anthony harding — a day after he won the individual title. the pair have also claimed world silver and bronze medals over the past 12 months. we weren't firing on all cylinders today. it is the morning, but what is great about this competition is it's the same time as our one in paris will be, so a great little run—through. obviously a bit difficult for me, coming off the back of the individual, feeling a bit tired, but we still scored over 420, which is a great score, great benchmark. we've just got to keep going, stay injury—free and stay positive. and manchester city put aside the disappointment of losing saturday's fa cup final as they showed off the other trophies they've won in front of thousands of their fans last night. their open—top bus parade is becoming an annual event — supporters gathered in the city to celebrate their historic fourth premier league title in a row. won after another tight title race, this time they edged arsenal out on the final day of the season.

it was also an opportunity for manager pep guardiola and his players to parade their fifa club world cup and uefa super cup that they won earlier in the campaign. a lot drier than the parade last year. a couple of scary moments for jack grealish, who nearly fell off the bus at one stage but all was ok and the parade went to plan. congratulations to manchester city, lovely pictures. it congratulations to manchester city, lovely pictures-— lovely pictures. it didn't rain on their parade — lovely pictures. it didn't rain on their parade but _ lovely pictures. it didn't rain on their parade but what - lovely pictures. it didn't rain on their parade but what about. lovely pictures. it didn't rain on| their parade but what about the lovely pictures. it didn't rain on - their parade but what about the rest of us? carol can tell us. good morning. some showers in the forecast but if we look at the week ahead, we will continue with some showers at times, some heavy and thundery. temperatures near normal. low pressure in charge of our weather for much of the week but thenit weather for much of the week but then it relinquishes its grip as we head towards the end of the week and high pressure takes over, so it is looking drier by next weekend. a lot of rain across the isle of skye and
7:49 am
outer hebrides this morning. that is starting to ease but there are a lot of showers in the west, south, and some further showers developing further east, as well. many starting with sunshine. not a cold start to the day. most in double figures at the day. most in double figures at the moment. the cloud bubbles up, further showers develop, and some across north—east scotland will be slow moving, heavy and thundery, possibly with some hail. by the end of the afternoon, thick cloud will come in across the isles of scilly and cornwall, introducing some rain. between the showers, expect some sunshine, and in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant with highs up will feel quite pleasant with highs up to 17 degrees and light breezes. through this evening and overnight many showers orfade through this evening and overnight many showers or fade quite quickly. clear skies, the temperature will tumble, and the weather front bringing the cloud and rain into the south west will continue to advance steadily northwards and eastward. in the west, under the cloud and rain, it will be milder, the chilly night in the east, chillier than last
7:50 am
night. we started some in chinese to areas tomorrow not long before the rain continues to push northwards and eastwards. the driest conditions tomorrow look like being where we have the wettest conditions today, in the north—east. as the weather front cleared northern ireland, wales and the south—west, we return to bright spells, sunshine and showers with temperatures very similar to today. thank you. looking forward to things settling down. this famous sporting event attracts competitors from all over the world, but it's not for the faint—hearted and it's certainly not one you should attempt to recreate at home. if you have a very steep guidance. and a big wheel of cheese! we are of course talking about the annual cheese rolling competition in gloucestershire which sees contestants throwing themselves down a very steep hill, chasing a wheel of — yes — double gloucester. but what's it like to take part? when you see it from down below it is hard to get a sense. i have been
7:51 am
there but not taking part. our reporter andy howard has been walking — or rather sliding — down the course with local legend chris anderson. all i can say when you're up here is "wow". no camera will ever do thatjustice, will it? yeah. especially the first, like, ten metres. then it sort of mellows out. and then from here, you can't really tell, but then it drops away again. that's why the girl who won last year knocked herself out. that's good to know! when you start the race, you've just got to run and almost lean backwards and try and dig your heels in. i try and sort of aim dead centre if i can, and then as you get about three quarters the way down, then head off to the right. just watch it where it'll be slippy. i didn't wear the best shoes. i've got wellies — i mean, is that... is that good, bad? no, i'd wear something similar to this, but we've a bit more grip to this, but with a bit more grip on, like a sort of trail trainer.
7:52 am
like, the cheese goes down here at 70 miles an hour. we probably get up to 30, 40 miles an hour running down here. whey! hang on, sorry, just on my backside there. there was a guy last year who was — i think he was from japan. he went down like a rocket, but he come down far right hand side... right. ..in all the stinging nettles and the brambles and the stones. see, i hadn't even considered the stinging nettles. you could probably run from here. you probably could. remember the first time you tried it? er... remember the first time going down here, but i wouldn't say i was trying it. so i come up here with my brothers and a couple of friends and we were just climbing up the hill, and my brotherjust grabbed me by the arm and just threw me down. 0h! and then... yeah, just all sort of stemmed from there. it's like climbing down a cliff! be careful if you get any momentum, because you won't stop. do you have to be slightly mad? i think you have to have a...slight disregard for your own safety.
7:53 am
how many times do you think you've gone down this hill at pace? probably 100 times. your worst injury? probably bruised kidneys. i did break my ankle the first time i won. but the bruised kidneys i suffered with that for a few months. got to the bottom, smashed my face on the floor, and then i come round on a stretcher. so... well, there we go. my first trip down coopers hill, 200 yards. he does it in ten seconds, it took me 15 minutes and i've got a very wet backside. thank you. i think that's the word. yeah, no problem. sure you don't want to run down? i'm absolutely positive... ..but thanks for the offer. andy howard, bbc news, at the bottom of coopers hill. fun fact about chris, who joined us on breakfast, he doesn't even like cheese! and joining us from her home

who can now take advantage of a new ticketing system. passengers will pay no more than the value of a weekly season ticket for multiple journeys between two stations. bosses say it will benefit commuters unsure how often they will be travelling to their place of work. we really want our customers to take advantage of this because ultimately so typically a customer travelling from brighton to london could be saving £120 if they go in four days a week. so this is a really good way of our customers saving money on our railways. let's take a look at the tubes now. a few part closures as is common on a bank holiday. worth checking before you travel. now onto the weather. scattered heavy showers but some decent spells of sunshine. temperatures reaching 17 degrees celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. bye bye for now.
8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. our headlines today. 35 people are reported dead in an israeli strike on a refugee camp near the city of rafah, according to the hamas run health ministry in gaza. israel says it was targeting a command centre used by hamas. hailed as one of the raf�*s finest pilots. tributes are paid to squadron leader mark long who died when a spitfire crashed at the weekend. cases of melanoma skin cancer are set to hit record levels as charities warn us to do more
8:01 am
to protect ourselves from the sun. good morning. today will be a day of sunshine and showers. the heaviest showers will be in north—east scotland where they could also be foundry, and then later we have some rain coming into the south—west of england. all of the details later in the programme. it's monday 27th may. our main story. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 35 people have been killed and dozens injured in an explosion at a refugee camp near rafah. the israel defense forces said it had carried out an air strike targeting a compound where senior hamas officials had gathered. it says it's now reviewing the incident after reports that civilians had also been harmed. our correspondent dan johnson is injerusalem. it morning. can you tell us more about the impact on civilians who were in the area seeking safety?
8:02 am
yes, this was a refugee camp of tents and temporary shelter where palestinians had been uprooted to having fled fighting in other parts of gaza, at least 35 people lost their lives when a fire tore through part of the camp. there are reports of another 70 people having suffered injuries, including women and children. hamas has accused israel of launching an air strike on an area that had been dedicated to safe humanitarian zone, a place that people had been playing to full safety. the israel defence forces said it carried out a precision strike with guided weapons targeting hamas seniorfigures, strike with guided weapons targeting hamas senior figures, two of them were killed in this air strike after intelligence that they were in a compound close to this refugee camp. in conducting that strike the fire was sparked and then spread costing civilian lives. what this is going to do in terms of the negotiations
8:03 am
to do in terms of the negotiations to bring about a ceasefire that were due to start as early as tomorrow, we were aware have to say. during netanyahu the israeli prime minister has been under increasing pressure to alter his military strategy. he said israel's mission in gaza had been to bring back hostages and eradicate hamas but they were big protests in tel aviv over the weekend because he is not having success on either of those fronts. hamas yesterday was able to launch eight rockets towards tel aviv, the centre of israel, an area that had not been under attack since january so there are huge questions about the israeli prime minister's priorities in this campaign and israel's military says it will investigate this latest incident. the hamas run health ministry in gaza said the death knell since the start of the conflict across gaza now stands at 36,000 people —— the death toll. thank you, dan. and we have the other stories with jon, thank you, dan. and we have the other stories withjon, beginning with the election.

national service for 18—year—olds yesterday. the idea that 18—year—olds would either have to join the armed forces for a year or do a series of voluntary placements in community organisations on one weekend a month throughout the year. they have had to add more details about this morning, there are still about this morning, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about it but they are suggesting now that one of the incentives forjoining the armed forces might be that you get fast—track access to grad schemes either in the civil service or in the private sector. they are having to defend that major policy that was announced yesterday and rishi sunak will be out and about later today talking about that as well. as for the lib dems, they are out, ed davey their leader has got the scottish liberal democrat launch later on this morning. so all of the main party leaders out knocking on doors, out wanting their photos taken and wanting to capture

8:07 am
and a passionate professional aviator, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him. already many flowers have been left here. this is a community proud to live side by side with the royal air force. i think everyone's respectful to the family at this time, to the air force. you can see them flying over, and you could see them yesterday as well, and then to hear that it's happened, it's devastating. squadron leader long had helped train future pilots as an instructor and previously delighted crowds as a typhoon fighter jet display pilot. he first flew the spitfire in 2021. this is the aircraft he was flying on saturday, spitfire mk356. one of only a handful still flying, which saw active service during the second world war, including taking part in d—day operations. it's been in existence since 1957, and this is the first fatality in all those years of operating
8:08 am
the battle of britain memorial flight. the royal family are among those who have paid tribute to squadron leader long, adding to the outpouring of love and support from many of those who've admired his flying skills at airshows across the country. the raf says an investigation is under way into what caused the crash and that their thoughts remain with mark's family and friends. phillip norton, bbc news, at raf coningsby in lincolnshire. police investigating the fatal stabbing of a woman on a bournemouth beach have released cctv images of a suspect. detectives have urged anyone who recognises the person in these pictures to come forward. a 34—year—old woman died in the attack on friday and a 38—year—old woman was seriously injured. officers have already made an arrest in connection with the case. that person remains in custody. authorities in papua

new guinea say a massive landslide that swept over a remote village has buried more than 2,000 people. emergency workers and locals are continuing their search for survivors under the rocks, four days after the mountainside collapsed. melanoma skin cancer cases are at an all—time high, with over 20,000 people expected to be diagnosed this year. rates have increased by almost a third over a decade. cancer research uk have said people need to do more to protect themselves from the sun. we will hear from a doctor and a patient here on breakfast in the next half an hour. the fbi is investigating the sale to us buyers of what are suspected to be hundreds of treasures from the british museum. the gallery confirmed in august that a large number of objects were missing. a police investigation is under way.
8:10 am
here's our culture and media editor katie razzall. danish antiquities dealer ittai gradel is the man who first warned the british museum that an insider was stealing its treasures. three pieces i am bringing back to the museum. he'd bought these ancient gems and hundreds of others in good faith. but when he realised they may be stolen, and tried to raise the alarm, the museum brushed him off. these items were sold for such measly amounts that this suggested to me that what i'd discovered was only the tip of a much larger iceberg. eventually, one of its senior curators, peter higgs, was sacked. he denies any wrongdoing, and the police are still investigating. we've been hunting down artefacts the british museum says have disappeared. we've discovered that two gems were unwittingly put on display at another museum in germany. we've also established that around 260 ended up in washington, dc —
8:11 am
the fbi has been investigating. but many of the objects hadn't been catalogued, which means the museum hasn't yet been able to prove they were actually stolen. it's since begun to register all its objects, and has improved security. the truth is, mistakes were made. but i think in life it's how you respond to those mistakes that matters. the museum today — a couple of years on — as a result of this saga, i think is much more open, much more transparent. of the 1,500 items it believes were taken, the british museum has got back almost half. but others — including ancient gold jewellery and other treasures missing from its collection — will likely never be found. katie razzall, bbc news. katie has a documentary on site about that story, it is on bbc two

8:13 am
rumble of thunder and some hail. in between the showers expect some dry conditions, some sunshine and it will feel pleasant in the sunshine. by will feel pleasant in the sunshine. by the end of the afternoon we will be seeing some rain across the isles of scilly and parts of cornwall. these are the temperatures, up to 17 degrees. this evening and overnight, the band of rain coming into the south—west continues to advance steadily north and east, the showers ahead of it fading quite rapidly, under clear skies it will be a chillier night than last night, where we have cloud and rain the temperatures are holding up. tomorrow we start with brightness in eastern areas but then you can see this rain moving steadily north and east, as it moves away from wales, the south—west, part of the midlands and northern ireland, we will return to bright spells and showers. the driest conditions will be in the north—east and temperature is very similar to today with highs of 17 or 18. feels like things are finally

could you not eat nuts on the plane because of our daughter's severe allergy? airborne nut particles have the capacity to provoke a very bad reaction." and then, without asking, one by one, row by row by row, people turned to the row behind them, to the row behind them, until it reached the back of the plane. the captain of the sunexpress flight reacted altogether differently when he heard what had happened. the pilot from the cockpit started shouting at me — i assume he was shouting at me in turkish — and told us we had to get off the plane. and that was that. back in the terminal, rosie's dad had to console her. when we got the news that we had been booted off the plane, then itjust... ..it hit hard, it felt very embarrassing. the parents of natasha ednan—laperouse began campaigning after the 15—year—old died when she ate a sandwich containing
8:16 am
sesame on a flight in 2016. they say some airlines have made strides in addressing the problem, but describe the response in this case as appalling. some airlines are actually really, really good. and, in fact, some airlines also have a no—nut policy — they have no nuts served of any sort on board in any of their food. and that is, you know, a clear statement that they obviously take, for example, nut allergies very seriously, and they show that by their actions and their policies. we've ever heard of — they're actually mistreating customers. a spokesman for sunexpress said, "we refrain from making these kinds of announcements as, like many other airlines, we cannot guarantee an allergen—free environment on our flights, nor prevent other passengers from bringing food items containing allergens on board." they say the captain of the flight decided it would be safest if the passengers' group did not travel. the family finally made it to turkey on another airline, but have found themselves
8:17 am
considerably out of pocket. joe campbell reporting there. what a horrible experience for that family. we're joined now by travel journalist simon calder. on the runway at gatwick! be careful, simon. we had from the airline in question there, my plane, my rules, can theyjust get a family off like that? my rules, can they 'ust get a family eff iiiee then— off like that? this was a very com . lex off like that? this was a very complex case. _ off like that? this was a very complex case. i _ off like that? this was a very complex case. i understand l off like that? this was a very - complex case. i understand georgie and herfamily did exactly complex case. i understand georgie and her family did exactly the complex case. i understand georgie and herfamily did exactly the right thing, which is that if you have a severe allergy to nuts, for example, you should tell the airline well in advance, and then you should when you arrive at the airport tell the ground staff, then when you are boarding the plane, you tell the cabin crew. however there is no guarantee that they will make an
8:18 am
announcement. even the global airlines organisation says, you can ask, but there is no guarantee they are going to make it. i should be absolutely clear that the airlines that most of us are going to be flying off to the mediterranean on, easyjet, british airways, ryanair, and jet2, they will all make an announcement to other passengers and not serve nuts on board. there is nothing to stop people bringing their own nuts on board and that is extremely worrying if you are at 30,000 feet and have a severe allergic reaction, which can have fatal consequences as we saw with the case of natasha. iii! fatal consequences as we saw with the case of natasha.— the case of natasha. if i had a child with _ the case of natasha. if i had a child with a — the case of natasha. if i had a child with a peanut _ the case of natasha. if i had a child with a peanut allergy - the case of natasha. if i had a| child with a peanut allergy this morning and i was watching, it would make me think that all of my options when it came to holidays are restricted. what are families in that position advised to do that? it is very tricky. certainly you need
8:19 am
to talk to your doctor first of all and make sure that they are happy with your decision to travel. but then steady, and all of these are available online, the airline's policy on nut allergies. but bear in mind that there is nothing you can do if somebody decides half way across the atlantic they are going to open up a packet of peanuts near you, there is no way to do that for example even if you have a global ban on nuts, which a lot of people would say, that would be really helpful to reduce harm, the security checkis helpful to reduce harm, the security check is only to look for people with weapons, it is not to look for peanuts. so it's a really tricky one. and anybody with a nut allergy should carry an adrenaline autoinjector also known as an epi—penjust in case autoinjector also known as an epi-pen just in case anything happens on board a. late: epi-pen just in case anything happens on board a.- epi-pen just in case anything ha-ienson board a. ., , ., , happens on board a. lots of passages this -- passengers — happens on board a. lots of passages this -- passengers this _ happens on board a. lots of passages this -- passengers this week - this —— passengers this week worrying about turbulence, the
8:20 am
tragic news of the passenger dying on the singapore airlines flight and then the recent flight from doha to dublin with extreme turbulence, is this something that we have got to get used to or is there just a coincidence with these cases? the airlines coincidence with these cases? he airlines international organisation says that cases of turbulence are increasing. certainly we are much more attuned to them. the qatar airways flight yesterday from doha to dublin, there were a dozen people injured on that. it was not the same order of magnitude as the tragic flight involving singapore airlines which happened in the first half of the flight while they were going over turkey, and the flight continued to its destination where six crew and six passengers were taken off for treatment of relatively minor knee injuries. in the past —— minor injury. i have conducted an online poll on social media in the past 24 hours saying, should seat belt wearing at all stages of the flight unless you are
8:21 am
going to the washroom or whatever be compulsory, majority so far with over 4000 votes in, 61 in favour of, yes, you should be made to wear your seat belt. i hope every passenger is going to be strapped in pretty much at all times. imagine, you wouldn't be in a car without a seat belt. and it's absolutely a very easy option to reduce of the harm. aviation is very safe. i to reduce of the harm. aviation is ve safe. ., to reduce of the harm. aviation is ve safe. ~' ,, �* to reduce of the harm. aviation is ve safe. ,, �* , very safe. i think you're absolutely riiht, it very safe. i think you're absolutely right. it has _ very safe. i think you're absolutely right. it has got — very safe. i think you're absolutely right, it has got us _ very safe. i think you're absolutely right, it has got us thinking - very safe. i think you're absolutely right, it has got us thinking about| right, it has got us thinking about keeping the seat belt on throughout the flight. thank you, simon calder at gatwick airport. late: the flight. thank you, simon calder at gatwick airport.— at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting. _ at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting, may _ at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting, may be _ at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting, may be an - at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting, may be an air- at gatwick airport. lots of people commenting, may be an air filter| commenting, may be an air filter mask might help someone who has an allergy. it affects so many

families, doesn't it. now it might not be the best weather for it but when the sun does finally make a reappearance you might be thinking about doing a spot of gardening. it can be an expensive business but our cost of living correspondent colletta smith has been finding out that you don't need to fork out a fortune. if you're thinking of turning your yard into a green oasis, sprucing up your alley, beautifying your balcony, or glamming up the garden, you're not alone. but with rising costs all around us, is it possible without spending a fortune? let's face it, a trip to any garden centre doesn't come cheap, and the cost of garden furniture can be an absolute fortune. so i've come here to try and find out if it's possible to do up your garden space on the cheap. good morning! this urban garden show
8:23 am
is the first of its kind. how do we get in? and manchester's very own cloud gardener has loads of advice on how to make small changes without spending megabucks. i have an 18th—floor balcony. this is a shelf and this is a chest of drawers. they got this from a charity shop, and what they've done is they've upcycled it, they've outdoor—proofed it. you see these tin cans, as well. and i suppose, when you're renting, you've got to think about the moveability of your garden, haven't you? exactly. you'll see there's nothing drilled into any of the walls or anything like that. and that is to really showcase that, actually, you can build a garden like this, but should this family want to move, theyjust need to pick it up and take it to their next destination. removal men might roll their eyes, if they saw this! it is absolutely possible to garden cheaply — cheaper! i have friends that also love gardening, so you can- divide plants and swap. i use my toilet rolls to grow my runner beans in, and my sweet peas.
8:24 am
so you're not using any plastic, so you're not buying any plant pots. grow as much as you can in pots and you get loads in a small space. you'll never throw- anything away again — like milk cartons over there. just cut the side out of them. i grew up somewhere we literally lived in a terraced house with a yard. lisa's an expert grower, and she agrees you don't have to spend a fortune. start small — start on your windowsill if you've got one. use whatever containers you have to hand. if you can't divide it, you can probably take a cutting of it — so that's usually a small section of stem that you then get to root. i do a lot of container growing at home, and i grow the things i like and i grow things that my daughter likes. she loves the blueberry plants — i don't get a look in. the blueberries are gone? the blueberries are gone. she's helping me harvest. galium odorata. yeah, i grow a few bits from seeds. i've recently got into microgreens because it's a superfood. - we come from the channel islands, so it's really expensive and we've only got a limited choice, so we upcycle as much
8:25 am
as we can because we're on the low end of wage. it gives you a chance to be really creative with colour and scent and so many other things. i found that whenever i put myself in nature, i start to feel ambitious. one man who's experienced the importance of a green space is the rapper tinie tempah. # yeah, yeah. # we bring the stars out. # we bring the women and the cars and the cards out... i grew up in south east london, grew up in a sprawling council estate. when he was 12, the family moved house, and tinie had access to a garden for the first time. itjust felt like liberation, felt like we were just living in an environment that we were...i was more able to thrive in. so maybe over the next few days you can carve out a little haven for yourself without spending a fortune. colletta smith, bbc news in manchester. some brilliant tips there. i am not

8:27 am
water. so far there have been 77 conferred cases of cryptosporidiosis that people are only asked to report their symptoms if they had severe diarrhoea or if symptoms are lasting more than seven days. tourism experts say that the area is safe to visit now the precautions are in place, and later we will be hearing from holiday park owner who says it is vital that the half term holiday is vital that the half term holiday is a success after a long wet winter. now the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a decision on a new road tunnel connecting kent and essex will be delayed by six months because of the general election. a planning application was due to be considered by the government injune for the lower thames crossing, but that falls during the election campaign. the national highways says it's now been pushed back to october.

children are to be prescribed activities including gardening, fishing and going to museums as part of research to tackle loneliness. it's a project led by university college london to see how effective so—called social prescribing is in reducing mental—health issues and improving school attendance. around 100 pupils are being recruited for the pilot phase which starts this year. a new giant mosaic has been unveiled at ally pally to help to mark its 150th anniversary. it's made up of more than 2,000 photographs sent in by people sharing their memories of the palace. it will be a permanent display at the london landmark. a family in north london has had a very special reunion when they brought together five generations. ann taylorfrom haringey is 102 and got to meet her great—great—grandaughter from australia, who'd made the trip to the uk with her mum — and it was all a surprise.
8:29 am
who's this? who's this, ann? oh, my god! hello! who have we got here? delilah! that's 'lilah? you know me, don't you? nanny anne. i knew there was something going on here. she did! i knew it. she said to me this morning. let's take a look at the tubes now. a few issues as there often is on a bank holiday. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, for the end of the bank holiday weekend, once more today, we'll see some scattered heavy showers developing, but there will be some decent spells of sunshine in between the showers. now, the showers today are unlikely to turn into thunderstorms as they were yesterday. but still, if you do catch one of these showers around into the afternoon, they could be heavy in places. but some sunny spells,
8:30 am
some patchy cloud in between, and temperatures — well, reaching around 15 to 17 or maybe 18 celsius. now, for the evening, those showers will continue for a time before fading overnight with clear skies, but then by the end of the night we'll start to see some thicker cloud arriving in from the southwest, and temperatures holding up at around eight to 11 celsius. now, it does mean, for tomorrow, quite an unsettled day. we have low pressure nearby — these set of weather fronts bringing some cloud and some outbreaks of rain for a time, too. so quite a cloudy, wet day for many tomorrow, improving to sunshine and scattered showers, and for the rest of the week staying quite unsettled — there'll be some further showers at times, and temperatures in the mid—to—high teens. that's your forecast. now, the london transport has got a new exhibition celebrating the first woman to drive a london bus 50 years ago. you can read an article all about her on our website. i'll be back at with the final morning update at around 9.15. bye—bye for now.
8:31 am
hello, this is breakfast with nina warhust and jon kay. with campaigning now well underway for the general election, party leaders are travelling up and down the uk, trying to convince voters to back their party ahead of polling day. there will be 650 seats up for grabs — so over the next few weeks, we're taking a look at some of the constituencies that could prove key to deciding the outcome on the 4th ofjuly. let's have a look at the constituency of east worthing and shoreham in west sussex. on may 3rd, labour took control of adur district council from the conservatives for the first time ever. now, residents there are preparing to go back to the ballot box to decide who will be their mp. in 2019, the conservatives held the seat with a majority of around 7,500. but if the results of the local elections are an indication
8:32 am
of voting intentions, it could be one to watch. our reporter sean killick has been speaking to voters in the coastal village of lancing. between worthing and hove, the south downs and the sea, lancing often goes unnoticed and unheard. but earlier this month, the people of adur spoke — and, for the first time ever, collectively said labour. conservative mp tim loughton is standing down after more than a quarter of a century. at this local cafe, people have been digesting all the news. for mick, rod, marshall, peter and ken, the election surprise announcement was the talk of their weekly catch—up. rishi sunak out in the rain. i mean, what a dope! he didn't even have an umbrella, did he? you know what i mean?! and he's in charge of the country?! laughter. you can't have the green party in cos they'll have cycle lanes up the m1. the liberals haven't got the experience. so you're left between labour and conservative. and out of the two, my opinion
8:33 am
is i think conservative would be better than keir starmer. the working man deserves a better deal than they're i getting at the moment, _ and hopefully a labour government will look after the people that| haven't got so much as maybe the middle classes - and the higher classes. well, i mean, it wasn't the conservatives that put the inflation up this time. it was effects... it was affected by things going on around the world. outside the cafe, katie was passing by with her two young children — who'll be on her mind on election day. i think it's exciting, and i think we're going to be voting for change because there needs to be a change. but i do hope that the subsidised places for younger children at nurseries carries on. we're either voting labour or green because it's where our hearts lie — especially in green! lee and pippa — who both have ill health — say they struggle to get by. they stopped to talk with me on their way to the food bank. that's where we're going now. you're worried about the cost of living. cos of the cost of living,
8:34 am
it's gone through the roof. you still think the conservatives should get back in? yes. they've helped us more than anybody. yes, they have. they stood by us. with what they've got to play with — which isn't a lot — they've juggled it where it's tried to help the poorer rather than the richer. yeah, i agree with that. he came out in his suit, soaking wet, god bless him. roll on. he's been there through covid. he's been there through everything for us. and ijust... i just... i'd be so gutted, honestly. i just want conservative. red or blue or something in between — this place could well become litmus lancing. fascinating hearing from those voices, and many more to come over the next five and a half weeks. the sun comes out and we start thinking about summer. the number of skin cancer cases in the uk is rising at an alarming rate and people need to do more
8:35 am
to protect themselves from the sun — that's according to cancer research uk. the charity says more than 20,000 people are expected to be diagnosed with melanoma this year — that's often the most serious and dangerous form of the disease. it's more common in the elderly — particularly in adults over 80, where diagnoses have risen by 57%. there has also been a rise among adults aged between 25 and 49. but the charity says 17,000 melanoma cases every year are preventable, with almost nine in 10 caused by too much uv radiation. we're joined now by consultant dermatologist dr faisal ali, and david uttley who has stage four melanoma. morning to you. thank you for coming in. david, can we start with you? do you want to share your story, do you mind? i know you are passionate about... . ,
