in music history. it's friday the seventh ofjune. our main story. a search is continuing on the greek island of symi this morning for the tv presenter, michael mosley, who has gone missing while on holiday. his wife raised the alarm after he failed to return from a hike on wednesday lunchtime. simonjones has the latest. in the scorching greek sunshine, the searches are continuing — both on land and from the air — trying to find out what has happened to michael mosley. this picture — along with an appeal for information — was posted on a local facebook group. greek police say michael mosley was with his wife on st nicholas beach on wednesday lunchtime when he decided to go for a walk. a sighting was reported at pedi. he then failed to return. he didn't have his phone with him. what can science tell us about getting a better night's sleep? some people think of sleep as a luxury...

michael mosley, who's 67, has been on our tv screens for more than two decades, talking about health and science. apparently, this is the easiest and most reliable way to find out. a presenter known for getting stuck in. i've got this list of the things that i'm allowed on my new diet. he would often focus on diet and exercise. he's a regular on the one show — last night's programme opened with the presenters sharing the feelings of many viewers... lots of us concerned to hear that our friend michael mosley has gone missing whilst on holiday in greece, and our thoughts are very much with his wife clare and the rest of his family at this worrying time. we hope for more positive news. ..and his disappearance is the front page story on the daily mail, where he's a columnist. the search is proving to be challenging, covering rugged terrain. the police, firefighters, a sniffer dog and volunteers are involved. all the rescue teams of the island are looking to find him.

with drones, they are going to all the islands. as concerns for michael mosley grow, police say more officers willjoin the search today, as an extreme heat warning for the island is issued. simon jones, bbc news. our correspondentjoe inwood is on the neighbouring island of rhodes, and joins us now. joe, what more can you tell us this morning? we are on the island of rhodes and it was from here that those rescue teams have been heading off. we understand there are 25 people taking part. it is a small island, symi, and everyone has heard of the disappearance of dr michael mosley, and it is hard to understand how he could have gone missing on this

island, it is such a small place. they have been scouring all corners and at the moment there is no sign of the much loved tv personality. there is a realfear, something the local police chief has spoken about, that he could be on the island and subject to this massive heatwave, but the other concern as he could have fallen from a height, it is a very rocky and jagged island with lots of cliffs. they are searching land and sea. it is a very worrying time for the friends and family of michael mosley. it is five minutes past six. we are well into an election campaign, a couple of weeks in, we have had one leaders debate between rishi sunak and keir starmer, and now we have more representatives going head—to—head tonight. and for weeks

todayit head—to—head tonight. and for weeks today it will all be over. —— four weeks today. representatives of the seven biggest parties in the uk will take part in a special election debate on the bbc tonight. they'll face questions from the audience over 90 minutes. our political correspondent hannah millerjoins us from outside the bbc�*s central london headquarters, where it will be held. hannah, there's still fallout from the last debate? yes, we had an almighty row after the last debate, didn't we? it resulted in the labour party accusing the prime minister of lying after he used dubious figures about their plans. in an interview with itv tonight, rishi sunak insisted that was not the case. he also refused to acknowledge that the calculations he was using were done on the basis of conservative advisers. let's listen to what he said. �* , ., ., .,

leader, angela rayner. daisy cooper, liberal democrat deputy leader, will make her party's case, as will stephen flynn for the snp. green party co—leader carla denyer will appear alongside plaid cymru's leader, rhun ap iorwerth, and nigel farage will take part after becoming leader of reform uk earlier this week. meanwhile, the two main parties are still putting out policies ahead of their manifesto launches. labour says if it wins power, it will make permanent an existing government scheme designed to ensure first—time buyers can access low—deposit mortgages through the state acting as a guarantor for part of the loan. the conservatives have put forward plans to allow high earners to keep more of their child benefit. the party says if it continues to govern, the threshold at which parents start to lose child benefit through a tax charge will double to £120,000. and it's committed to a previously announced proposal to assess claimants as a household rather than an individual. plenty still to be digested and scrutinised as political parties

continue to vie for votes. leila nathoo, bbc news. donald trump has taken part in his first campaign rally since he was convicted of fraud last week. he took questions from voters in arizona, a key battleground state. extreme heat left 11 people needing hospital treatment as several thousands of supporters waited outside the event. a woman who is said to have inspired a character in the series baby reindeer has filed a lawsuit against netflix seeking at least $170 million. fiona harvey says that the show has caused her emotional distress as the martha character was portrayed as convicted stalker. hundreds of beacons have been lit up across the uk to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d—day. britain's towns and villages proudly sparked flames in remembrance

of the thousands of lives lost, and to bring an end to the emotional commemorations of the last few days. safety officials say the uk can expect more cases of e.coli in an outbreak that has already seen more than 100 people fall sick. tests are ongoing to find the source, but experts believe it is mostly likely to be linked to a widely available food product. our health reporter michelle roberts has more. most often, people catch e.coli from eating contaminated food. past outbreaks have been linked to bean sprouts, pre—packed salads and sandwiches, and undercooked meat. in the new year, some lancashire cheese was recalled as a precaution after an e.coli death. it's not yet known what's behind the current spate of cases being investigated. lab tests suggest this is a single outbreak, says the uk health security agency

that's hunting for the cause. it predicts more cases to come. so far, there have been 81 cases in england, 18 in wales, 13 in scotland, and one person sick in northern ireland, who believes they caught it in england. the youngest of the 113 ill in recent weeks is two, and the oldest 79. while most people will easily recover, some can be very unwell. these type of e.coli infections are associated with a very nasty diarrhoea, sometimes vomiting. in the vast majority of people, it's a self—limiting infection, but it is quite a nasty diarrhoeal disease, and you will be off work for a few days with it and so on. so, as i say, it can range from unpleasant diarrhoea to, unfortunately, sometimes much more complicated infections. since the bacteria that cause the illness thrive in the gut and faeces,

people can also get sick from contact with infected animals or contaminated waterways. in march, rowers in the oxford cambridge boat race were warned not to swim in the river thames because of e.coli. it usually takes a few days from being infected for symptoms like diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach cramps and fever to show. consumers will be told if and when a food source is identified. michelle roberts, bbc news. it is 13 minutes past six. the countdown is on. we say that and we don't know which sporting event it could be, so many going on! there are just 50 days to go until the olympic games kick off in paris.

and this morning, one of the city's most iconic monuments has been adorned with the olympic rings to mark the event. that is it to this morning. you can just about see them, can't you? just on the first level. the parisians are excited, it's drawn a crowd. it's a stunning, i don't think it will top london 2012 but i am slightly biased. and a nice day, blue skies. not sure if it is chilly. a good morning here in salford but a little bit cold. the sun always shines in salford! 50 days till the olympics, only 30 until the summer solstice. but it feels like spring at the moment, nice in the sunshine but pretty cold out of it. that continues the next

few days. this is oxfordshire a short while ago where overnight temperatures north of oxford dropped to around two celsius. the sunshine lifted the temperature quickly. some of us will have more sunshine than others, showers around mostly in the north of the country, but not quite as chilly in the north. these are the sort of temperatures to expect in the next hour or so, single figures for many at the moment but not as cold as yesterday morning in the north. the northern half of the country, some showers, outbreaks of rain in northern and western scotland, northern ireland, heavy at times through the rush moving south and east, so brightening to sunshine and east, so brightening to sunshine and heavy showers, but some of the showers move more widely into northern england in the second half of the day, some longer spells of rain in cumbria and northumberland. in the south of the uk, a lovely

start but showers in parts of wales in the south—west, moving east about becoming a few in number, the vast majority staying dry through the day with sunny spells. temperatures today only around 14—19 for the majority, feeling cool when you lose the sunshine. tonight, rain in england and wales, showers in scotland, a blustery 2a hours, and a cool start to tomorrow and the weekend with sunshine and showers again on the cards. not allowed to mention summer solstice today because it is the worst day of the year. you know why. let's take a look at today's papers. a number of them feature poignant images of the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. the metro leads with a striking silhouetted image taken on a beach in normandy yesterday, with the headline, "at the going down of the sun

and in the morning, we will remember them." evocative picture. the telegraph also focuses on d—day, with a photograph of members of the royal marines as they landed in france, holding wreaths before they travelled on to the commemoration ceremony, to thank the fallen for their sacrifice. and the daily mail leads on the search for the missing tv presenter michael mosley. its headline describes mr mosley, who writes a column for the paper, as its "health guru" and reports that the 67—year—old vanished after going for a walk on a greek island. 17 minutes past six. we have had reports of this walking to the car park at work. something that is on the rise. thefts of mobile phones have been increasing in recent years, making them one of the most stolen items. it happens like this. so quickly. taking people completely unawares.

it is brazen. these are just some of the incidents of smartphone thefts that have been captured on camera. this is london — where the metropolitan police say a phone is taken every ten minutes. ben is taking a look at this for us. it is on the rise, anecdotally you hear a lot about it now. yes, i have seen it on the street, walking along, two guys on a bike, snatched the phone out of her hand, she was distraught, and by the time you realise what is going on it is too late to intervene, and of course concerns for your own safety if you were to intervene. yes, these incidents where thieves snatch phones from unsuspecting victims happen so quickly. and figures show that smartphones are now the most frequently stolen item, being taken in more than a third of thefts in england and wales. it is that red line, overtaking

cards and cash. it's usually not the phones themselves, but what we store on them, that make them so attractive for thieves. mobile banking apps, or having debit or credit card payments set up. if they've seen your pin or forced you to reveal it, they can then easily go and spend money on those cards. and mobile banking apps can give them easy access to current and savings accounts. losses from mobile banking fraud totalled around £a5 million last year. that's the highest ever recorded total, more than 20,000 reported cases. obviously any violent crime like this is traumatic for the victim, but are there any steps you can take to better protect yourself? i've been finding out. police give chase after receiving a report of a stolen mobile phone in london. this police footage shows two thieves on e—bikes fleeing after stealing a smartphone out of the victim's hand, who was using it on the street.

when officers catch the rider, they find not one but 2a stolen phones on him. it's a crime that is becoming more common. mobile devices are the most stolen item now in england and wales according to the latest ons crime survey. criminals find various ways to get hold of the phones, knowing they usually contain valuable financial and personal data. this man, who wanted to stay anonymous, was out with work colleagues when his drink was spiked, his phone was taken, and he was defrauded of more than £20,000. there was a credit card transaction made by google pay. there were also three bank transfers. the whole time these criminals had my phone, they were able to access my financial apps, and these four transactions resulted in significant money being withdrawn from my business and personal accounts which has had a serious

impact on my ability to run my company, and it's also had a serious impact on my mental health and that of my family. although the devices themselves are valuable and often sold on, it's now the credit and debit cards stored on them, as well as banking and otherfinancial apps, that the thieves are after. primarily what's in it for them is data. of course these days we have all of our banking and financial apps on our phones and all manner of passwords saved, perhaps, for every service we engage with, and that's primarily what they are after. that attracts a high price on the dark web. there are people who will pay many times the value of the handsetjust for the data that's on it. meanwhile, this man's traumatic experience and the financial fallout has made him more vigilant. since the incident occurred, i've deleted a lot of financial apps off my phone and i've also disabled facial recognition and thumb

and fingerprint access just in case. he was unsettled because the facial recognition and fingerprint recognition, he was forced to do that to unlock this phone, although experts say that is usually better than using a pin. there are things you can do to better protect your phone and its data. things like having "find my phone" enabled and also switch "stolen device protection" on so that you can remotely wipe it if it does get taken. if you're using your phone in public, be aware of who's around you, and in crowded places, make sure no—one is watching over your shoulder as you type your pin. we want to hear from you this morning — if you've had your phone stolen or been defrauded, let us know. hopefully it has not happened to you. i think you will be getting a lot of messages. a lot of it is down to

common sense. you think where would the hotspots be? outside of a station where people are looking for directions on their phone. try to avoid that, maybe stay in the ticket lobby. and try to use headphones if you are making a call. 22 minutes past six. rob burrow�*s legacy, and his huge impact on the motor neurone disease community is hard to overstate. the rugby league legend made it his mission to raise awareness of the disease after he was diagnosed in 2019. along with his friend and former teammate kevin sinfield, he raised millions of pounds, and funded an mnd care centre in his name. a story we have followed in great detail over the years on breakfast. his work and life touched millions of people, and none more so than the medical staff who treated him, as graham satchell reports. rob burrow with his wife lindsey at seacroft hospital in leeds.

good to see you, rob. it was here that rob's motor neurone disease was managed by a large medical team led by drjung. first time i met him, he walked in with a huge smile, and i still remember the way he had jumped up onto the couch, helping me with the assessments. other patients drew a lot of strength from him, and it sort of made their day meeting him, and they would take photographs with him, and it was really quite amazing. 5.9 now... there is no cure for mnd. from the moment he was diagnosed, rob burrow knew his time would come. it made his approach to this cruel disease all the more remarkable. i think he was the most positive person i've come across, and really determined to do things the way that he wanted to do them and live his life the way that he wanted to,

despite motor neurone disease. just lift his arm up... rob at his mum's house, and a visit from ali, the specialist physiotherapist. his medical team got to know him well, his humour, his single mindedness. rob didn't always take my advice and, as with all aspects of his care, he had very strong opinions on what he wanted and when he wanted it, and rightly so. and he would come into clinic with a pre—programmed message for me on his ipad that would say, "thank you very much for the speech, but i'm going to say no," and we'd have a good laugh, and that big beaming smile. have we tried different masks already? yes, yeah, we tried quite a few. you're calling me a big nose! rob's been... what's the right word? stubborn, probably in some ways. looking back, i have to say

i admire him for that. i can't imagine somebody as fit, active, athletic like him, being given a diagnosis like this, a life—changing diagnosis like this, and thenjust run with it and make the best out of it, not just for anybody, for him or his family, but for everybody. i mean, it'sjust amazing. seacroft hospital wasn't designed for patients with mnd — its old and tired, there's no parking nearby. this is rob with his family and medical team looking at a maggie's centre for cancer patients. rob wanted the same for those with mnd. he raised millions of pounds, determined the next generation would get better care. the centre means everything. the centre represents hope. i break bad news in a room

which doesn't even have windows. it's a cold, heartless, clinical room. this centre will provide that space where once you leave the room, you can have a private space to grieve in, to plan in, a place where patients will feel welcome, a place where you can, you know, there is no clinical coldness. it is a warm, welcoming space. yeah, this is much better for parking. the new centre will be a physical reminder of the difference rob has made. but his legacy goes much further. if we made a diagnosis, they didn't understand what mnd was, whereas now they'll say, "oh, that's what rob had." so people might have known the basics that it affects mobility and speech, but actually rob really showed them, in a human way, in a family way, how that affects someone. the level of understanding now for motor neurone disease is fantastic.

rob's medical team became part of his family. they helped him through every stage of his illness. it is a measure of the man that they say he helped them as much as they helped him. he looked out for me. in many ways. and i can see what sort of a team—mate he must have been, you know, looking out for his team members. and as i go towards the hospital, i see the big mural. and in that mural, rob has a very intense, focused expression on his face. that is how i remember him — with a cheeky grin and focus. and that is what will encourage me to keep going.

that report was from graham satchell. and if you'd like to see more about the life and legacy of rob, the full documentary, there's only one rob burrow, is on bbc iplayer now. it is excellent, i watched it the other night. certainly a very emotional half an hour. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. two people have been arrested after a fatal stabbing in south—east london. lewisham police said in a statement early on friday that officers were called to reports of a man being stabbed in deptford.

an investigation is continuing. the rise in rents has slowed to its lowest level in 30 months, according to the property website zoopla. however, rents in the capital are still the highest in the country. in london, the average rent isjust over £2,100 a month, significantly above the national average ofjust over £1,200. a homeless artist has been helped to set up an art exhibition after he couldn't afford the licence needed to sell his own work from where he slept on the streets. the charity under one sky, who helped david, says more should be done to support other artists wanting to help themselves out of homelessness. the situation was one where he wanted to sell his work but he actually couldn't afford the license to do it legally on the streets, and so our team came up with the idea of doing an exhibition for david, so really a life—changing exhibition. london's first new lido in decades is set to be built in east london. redbridge council have approved

plans for a new outdoor 25—metre swimming pool, which is set to be built in valentines park. a splash pad, cafe, gym, and dance studio will also be built, with the new facilities expected to be open by autumn 2025. let's take a look at the tubes now. most lines are running well, but thejubillee line is part suspended between west ham and stratford. there is also a planned part closure on london overground. now onto the weather with kawser. hello. good morning. it's a fairly cool start to the day, but largely dry out there with some good spells of sunshine around as well, although cloud will tend to increase as we head through the day. but it's a dry, bright start with plenty of sunshine during the course of the morning. by the afternoon, though, cloud will tend to build, but there'll still be a lot of dry weather,

just a few scattered showers around, and temperatures reaching around 17—19 celsius with a moderate westerly breeze. into the evening, any showers will fade away. it becomes largely dry with some clearer skies developing, and under the clearer skies, it will be another fairly cool night, as temperatures dip down to around 8—11 celsius. so it means for tomorrow morning, well, again, it's a similar story, dry to start, but we have a weak front bringing some cloud, maybe a few showers around, and for sunday as well, it's largely dry with some sunshine. so overall, not a bad weekend in store. there should be a lot of dry weather, some good spells of sunshine, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers and temperatures generally reaching around the high teens, becoming more unsettled for the start of next week. that's it. head to our website to find out about your voice, your vote, how you can let us know about the general election issues that matter to you. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. lots of claims and counter—claims were made during the televised leaders debate between rishi sunak and sir keir starmer this week, including the heavily—disputed conservative accusation that labour's policies would mean a £2,000 tax rise for every household. so what might come up in tonight's tv debate? our correspondent nick eardley from bbc verify has been taking a look. good morning from bbc verify h0. it's a big one tonight. seven parties taking part in the debate, a reminder of who. conservatives, labour, lib dems, snp, greens, reform and plaid cymru. a busy stage. lots for us to fact check and scrutinise tonight. but to prepare you, i just wanted to remind you of some

of the contentious claims that have dominated the week and why you should be aware of them. this here was the most controversial claim from tuesday's debate — the prime minister's claim that every working household would face a £2,000 tax bill if labour win power. but that statement is misleading. the £2,000 is overfour years, so it's about £500 a year. we talked about it earlier in the week on breakfast. it's also based on political assumptions. some of them are dubious. labour have denied that they'll put up income tax, national insurance, or vat, but labour have their own dubious claim. this one — that there's a £71 billion gap in conservative spending plans. the problem with that is, it's based on assuming the conservatives will do things that they've said they won't like scrapping national insurance in the next few years. so if you hear these claims tonight, it's fair to be a bit sceptical. now, we don't know for sure what is going to come up this evening, but the cost

of living is an issue the parties have been talking about a lot. we've all felt the impact of increasing prices. but one thing that's worth knowing is context for the debate is that living standards will be lower at the end of this parliament than they were at the start of this parliament. that doesn't normally happen. another piece of context — the economy has started to grow a bit in recent months. you can see it here. but overall, economic growth has been pretty flat. and because of that, experts are warning of this — that there's likely to be a spending squeeze for whoever becomes the next government. so will the parties explain tonight what that's going to look like and where they are going to prioritise money? we've also heard a lot in the last few days about record levels of immigration. tonight, we'll actually have more opinions on that issue. nigel farage's reform party wants this net migration to be down to zero, but there are other parties taking part

like the snp, who think that immigration is a good thing. but these are the numbers you need to know on legal migration. that's the difference between those leaving the country and those coming in. it was a record high in 2022. it's down a bit in 2023, and it is expected to fall further. but there is a big question for the parties about whether they want to bring this down and how. next, illegal immigration. these are the facts. small boats crossings reached their record high in 2022. they were down in 2023. so far in 2024, they are up on both of those years. so tonight we'll hear from the parties what their potential solutions might be. now, plenty else might

come up tonight. ae will be here with the bbc�*s team of fact checkers looking over what's said. and we'll have more tomorrow morning on what you can trust and what you can be sceptical about. the deadline for candidates to be confirmed for the general election across the constituencies is ii.00pm this afternoon. we are talking to representatives from all of the major parties. we are joined now by ellie chowns, the green party's candidate for north herefordshire. she speaks for the party on housing and commuters. good morning, thank you for getting up early to speak to us. on the issue of confirming candidates you have had to drop candidates you have had to drop candidates due to anti—semitic comments they had made, an issue of looking at up to another 20 possible cases of people selling stuff online last night. how many more of them can we expect to be dropped before today's ii.00pm deadline? the

can we expect to be dropped before today's 4.00pm deadline? the green pa , like today's 4.00pm deadline? the green party. like i — today's 4.00pm deadline? the green party. like i hope _ today's 4.00pm deadline? the green party, like i hope every _ today's 4.00pm deadline? the green party, like i hope every party, - today's 4.00pm deadline? the green party, like i hope every party, we - party, like i hope every party, we have a very firm and tedious process for reviewing any concerns raised with us about any potential candidates, that is completely separate from leadership and spokespeople as is correct. that process is being gone through and ourfull process is being gone through and our full list of candidates will be announced this afternoon. i am confident that we will be standing a candidate in virtually every single seatin candidate in virtually every single seat in the uk, and that is a really fantastic result for the green party. it shows how serious we are. but saying israel must be eliminated, is one of your potential candidates did say, is that something you would welcome from somebody representing the green party? somebody representing the green pa ? �* , , ., , somebody representing the green pa ? ~ , ., , party? absolutely not. the green party? absolutely not. the green pa is party? absolutely not. the green party is absolutely _ party? absolutely not. the green party is absolutely clear - party? absolutely not. the green party is absolutely clear that - party is absolutely clear that anti—semitism and islamophobia and any form of racism have absolutely no place in politics and no place in the green party. 50 no place in politics and no place in the green party.— no place in politics and no place in the green party. so the person who said that will _ the green party. so the person who said that will be _ the green party. so the person who said that will be off _

getting, the profile we are getting, because that reflects what people in the country feel about the green party. people want to vote green because they know when they vote green it, they vote green, the get people who offer real change that this country needs and they get people who vote incredibly hard for their communities to help steer this country any better direction and put forward fresh ideas and real honesty about what we need in this country if we are going to build better for a betterfuture. you if we are going to build better for a better future.— a better future. you have been called out _ a better future. you have been called out for _ a better future. you have been called out for the _ a better future. you have been called out for the mood - a better future. you have been| called out for the mood wrong, a better future. you have been i called out for the mood wrong, is that that worries you? —— getting the mood wrong. that that worries you? -- getting the mood wrong.— that that worries you? -- getting the mood wrong. there will also be --eole the mood wrong. there will also be people who — the mood wrong. there will also be people who try _ the mood wrong. there will also be people who try to _ the mood wrong. there will also be people who try to dig _ the mood wrong. there will also be people who try to dig around i the mood wrong. there will also be people who try to dig around and i people who try to dig around and find something we can criticise us for because they worry that we are becoming a stronger political force. our manifesto will be published next week, setting out a real exciting policy platform, fully costed, setting up of the offering. yesterday we announced our health policy, we are the only party on

health that has been honest of the british people, saying it is going to take more money to invest in our precious nhs, to effectively nurse it back to health, we have been clear about what that will cost and have put forward a fully costed proposal for an extra 50 billion of investment in the nhs and in the care system, to bring it back up to standard, because that is what people want. we all want a functioning public services, and as your piece said just before i came on air, we are in a situation where people are in a worse... life is worse for people now at the end of this parliament than it was at the beginning. people other were tired of conservative mismanagement and underfunding of public services. that is why they are looking to other parties and particularly to the green party for that honesty about the scale of investment that we need an depravity that we need to put on bringing our public services back into good condition, because we all rely on them.— all rely on them. let's talk a bit about that _ all rely on them. let's talk a bit about that £50 _ all rely on them. let's talk a bit about that £50 billion _ all rely on them. let's talk a bit about that £50 billion pledge i all rely on them. let's talk a bit| about that £50 billion pledge for nhs and social care. that is more

than four times what any other party so far has said they will spend. where are you going to get that money from? we where are you going to get that money from?— where are you going to get that money from? where are you going to get that mone from? ~ . , , . ., money from? we have been very clear that we are — money from? we have been very clear that we are going _ money from? we have been very clear that we are going to _ money from? we have been very clear that we are going to ask— money from? we have been very clear that we are going to ask those - money from? we have been very clear that we are going to ask those with i that we are going to ask those with the broadest shoulders in society to chip in a bit more, to pay modestly more in tax. so we are proposing a wealth tax. no other party is putting that on the table, despite the fact it is a functioning policy and fermented in a number of other countries around the world which is really successful in raising nearly significant sums of money. we are talking about the multimillionaires and billionaires in british society, we are asking those with over £10 million in assets to pay a 1% tax on that well. those with over £1 billion in assets to pay 2% on that. to chip in, to invest in our key public services, in the nhs. we want to even up tax between unearned income and earned income, so that those who get their income through doing a dayjob and earning a

salary, so that they are not, as is currently the case, taxed at a higher level than those who earn interest on assets. so we are really clear that we are talking about a fairer tax system, and that is necessary, so that the investment is there to put into the nhs, to ensure that everybody can see a dentist when they need one, same day care if you urgently need something... i think lots of people would welcome what you are saying about being able to see a dentist, but without being disrespectful, you can put anything you like in your manifesto with any number on it, and you are never actually going to have to deliver on it, because as things stand, you are not going to form the next government, are you? not going to form the next government, are ou? ., ., ., government, are you? no, we are not retendin: government, are you? no, we are not pretending that we _ government, are you? no, we are not pretending that we are. _ government, are you? no, we are not pretending that we are. it _ pretending that we are. it is important that we put forward a manifesto that sets out bold policies and sets out how they can be funded. we are not saying we are going to be the next prime minister. what we are saying is that we can get a group of green mps in

westminster, in parliament, putting forward these bold ideas put up a government we have after this general election, it will be crucial to have stronger green voices in parliament proposing the idea is that we need, saying that we need to fund our public services and this is how we can do it. you would criticise us if we didn't have a policy platform and it wasn't fully funded. we are putting that forward and we are sent to the british people, elect more green mps to westminster so that we can hold the next government to account, bring this question ideas, push things any better direction in the country, and we have got a fantastic chance, particularly in our key constituencies including my own... thank you, i get the point. you have had one mp before, who knows? you might have more than one next time. we are very grateful to you for your time this morning. thank you. thank ou.

a full list of candidates in the north head of a church constituency will be published on the bbc website. the nominations will be closed at lt.00pm this afternoon. somebody will be busy adding all that information to the bbc website. let's have a look at the sport news now. mike, we have been waiting for this announcement from gareth southgate, and i think i was reading some commentary, and one article said, who knew gareth southgate could be so ruthless? yes, each week today, the euros kick—offs —— week today.

—— a week today. this time, youngsters are being picked ahead of people that gareth southgate has been accused in the past of favourite thing —— favouring. if you want a sense of how being left out of a euros squad feels, just look at the social media reaction ofjames maddison, another england player to miss out. "devastated doesn't quite cut it," he wrote, and jack grealish and harry maguire, are two huge names who must also now deal with the disappointment of being left at home. maguire can at least point to an injury. he hasn't recovered sufficiently from the calf injury which kept him out of the fa cup final last month. he hasn't played since april, but was always one of gareth southgate's favoruites. maguire says he's devastated. as for grealish, one of the most talented, this most expensive stars, this most expensive stars, but has struggled to break into manchester city's starting line—up towards the end of the league season. he remained on the bench throughout the cup final. he did feature for england as a substitute on monday, but it's not proved enough. we need players that are fit and ready to go from the start, so again, another really difficult call. you know how i feel about harry maguire

and what he's done for england, and what he's done for me as a manager, of course. madders and jack both give us something different as well, so they have been tough calls, they've been calls that we've gone over and over and over as a group of staff. we just feel other players have had stronger seasons, particularly in the last six months or so. england have the final warm up match tonight against iceland. in the scotland camp, bbc sport understands goalkeeper craig gordon and defender john souttar are the players set to miss out on euro 202a. head coach steve clarke must trim his squad from 28 to 26, for the tournament after tonight's friendly with finland at hampden park. his full focus was getting the team in shape for the tournament opener against hosts germany, as the squad held an opening training session. scotland finally ended a run of seven games without a win by beating gibraltar 2—0 on monday, but it was hardly a performance to worry the germans and attracted more criticism, which perplexes clarke. any time i read a little snippet from somebody who wants to be negative norman, ijust dismiss it, because what's to be negative about?

we're going into another major tournament, the squad's in a good place, we're all determined to do as well as we can for wir country — why notjust relax and enjoy it? that is what we're going to try to do. obviously we've got to produce the goods on the pitch, and that's what we'll do. perhaps the football team can channel the good start by scotland's cricketers at the t20 world cup, as they beat namibia in barbados to go top of their group. their opening game against england was a wash—out, but scotland captain richie berrington made up for lost time. he clobbered the winning runs with an over and a half to spare to seal victory by five wickets. their next game is against oman on sunday. the united states pulled off one of the biggest shocks in cricket history by beating former champions pakistan in a super over in dallas. with both teams on 159 runs after their 20 overs, they went to added time. but pakistan fell apart, and with seven required from the last ball, shadab khan could only take a single, sparking these joyous

celebrations from the american players and supporters. after beating canada in their opening game, they could be one win away from progressing to the super eights. this is their first world cup, having only played their first t20 international as recently as 2019. wow, what a way to announce you're co—hosting the world cup as well. having the cricket world cup in places like dallas, it is incredible. not even the most optimistic organisers could have imagined beating pakistan. mike, thank ou imagined beating pakistan. mike, thank you very — imagined beating pakistan. mike, thank you very much _ imagined beating pakistan. mike, thank you very much indeed. i imagined beating pakistan. mike, thank you very much indeed. we l imagined beating pakistan. mike, i thank you very much indeed. we were s-ueakin to thank you very much indeed. we were speaking to the _ thank you very much indeed. we were speaking to the green _ thank you very much indeed. we were speaking to the green party _ thank you very much indeed. we were speaking to the green party a - thank you very much indeed. we were speaking to the green party a little i speaking to the green party a little earlier, from north head of the church where we are going to take you to herefordshire and a second, and we should say we are talking to the snp as well at 7.30. a debate tonight on the bbc, we will keep you

updated. this is what it is like in herefordshire at the moment. what a well bright field. the little things we notice. good morning, it is looking lovely in herefordshire, but a bit on the fresh side. expect some rain spreading eastwards during the next few hours, free breakfast time, then into sunshine and showers, outbreaks of them to take us to the afternoon. many will stay dry, a lot of cloud, and temperatures like yesterday around 11 to 19 celsius, so still feeling rather cool for this stage injune. rather cool for this stage in june. as rather cool for this stage injune. as we go into tonight, a bit more cloud, a few more showers across england and wales, temperatures not dropping as much as last night,

clear skies for scotland and northern ireland, so a cooler night here, tipped to to limit single figures, but as we go to the start of your weekend, some of rain, a few showers spreading southwards, sunshine and showers further north, in brisk west and north westerly wind, as we will see today, temperatures very similar to today's values, but you and perhaps a bit chilly on sunday. but again we showers mainly in the north and the west. it's the day taylor swift fans have been waiting for — the pop star's "eras" tour is finally here, and kicks off in edinburgh tonight. is finally here, and kicks off yes, swifties have waited more than a year for the show

to arrive in the uk, since she kicked off her marathon string of dates in arizona in march last year. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been to speak to some of the fans. more than a year after it started, today, taylor swift's eras tour finally reaches the uk. in the history of music, no tour had grossed $1 billion. at the end of this year, taylor swift's tour will pass the $2 billion mark. and as you can see from the length of queue for merchandise, edinburgh is very excited. cheering. how long is the queue? about an hour and a0 minutes, we timed it before we went in. an hour and a0 minutes?

that's about two eras. nervous. why? we've been waiting for so long. i'm going to cry, like. just like i don't even know. not upset in a bad way. it's a sign of an artist's popularity when even their tribute acts are selling out venues. taylormania's current tour lasts until 2026. this is the ringmaster costume, and for me that is the red era. so i have to wear that. katie ellis used to do half her act as katy perry and half as taylor swift. now it's taytay all the way. are you ready to be taylor swift? iam. almost time. i love it. i never get sick of singing the songs because they're just amazing. and depending on your mood as well, you can go, oh, i relate to this today, and i think that's why she's so popular.

and what are the essentials to being taylor swift on stage? well, she always does lean back, arms out. that is definitely one and the surprise phase. so i'm looking left and right quite a lot as well. and the sold out crowd in shrewsbury on a monday night was almost entirely made up of mothers and daughters. i think she'sjust a really good idol. yeah, i think she's a good role model for young girls to have. it's the storytelling in her songs. it's life and experience and i think that's what the girls really enjoy and i'm hoping that they grow out of it very quickly. she a really good singer. and anything else you like? and she's really pretty. but many of taylor swift's fans are rather closer in age to her.

nobody so far has been either ignorant or confident enough to request a non—taylor swift tune. you don't get beyonce requested at this night. it was clearjust how much taylor swift meant to these people at a night in manchester. she's only a few years kind of older than me, and so i feel like all of her life experiences and like young womanhood and becoming an adult, we've, like, done together, you know, like she feels like the big sister that i don't have. a world without taylor swift. are you joking? like, i was telling my parents, who, like, grew up around the '70s, like, she's our beatles. i think it's the way she writes her songs as well are so relatable and it makes you connect with her on a, like, deeper level. i love the lyrics, i love the melodies, just everything. i want to scream in my car. it's so good.

it'sjust the most screamable songs. lana del rey is a friend of taylor swift, sang on her midnights album, and has a theory about the level of her popularity. she's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone, so it's good. she's getting exactly what she wants. she just loves it. like, she loves it. she's driven, you know? and it's really... i think it's really paid off. it certainly has. tonight's stadium show in edinburgh is the biggest in scottish history. 73,000 people will be singing along. colin paterson, bbc news. colin will be joining us live from the murrayfield stadium just before 9.00. i particularly like the warmer at the taylor night —— of the taylor swift tribute night with a the 1975

t—shirt on. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. three people have been arrested after a fatal stabbing in south—east london. police were called just after 10.30 last night to carteret way in deptford. a man in his 20s died at the scene. the rise in rents has slowed to its lowest level in 30 months according to the property website zoopla. however rents in the capital are still the highest in the country. in london the average rent is just over £2,100 a month, significantly above the national average ofjust over £1,200. a homeless artist has been helped to set up an art exhibition after he couldn't afford the licence needed to sell his own work from where he slept on the streets. charity under one sky,

who helped david, says more should be done to support other artists wanting to help themselves out of homelessness. the situation was one where he wanted to sell his work but he actually couldn't afford the license to do it legally on the streets, and so our team came up with the idea of doing an exhibition for david, so really a life—changing exhibition. london's first new lido in decades is set to be built in east london. redbridge council have approved plans for a new outdoor 25—metre swimming pool, which is set to be built in valentines park. a splash pad, cafe, gym and dance studio will also be built, with the new facilities expected to be open by autumn 2025. let's take a look at the tubes now. most lines are running well but the jubillee line is part suspended between west ham and stratford.

and a planned part closure on london overground. now onto the weather with kawser. hello. good morning. it's a fairly cool start to the day, but largely dry out there with some good spells of sunshine around as well, although cloud will tend to increase as we head through the day. but it's a dry, bright start with plenty of sunshine during the course of the morning. by the afternoon, though, cloud will tend to build, but there'll still be a lot of dry weather, just a few scattered showers around, and temperatures reaching around 17—19 celsius with a moderate westerly breeze. into the evening, any showers will fade away. it becomes largely dry with some clearer skies developing, and under the clearer skies, it will be another fairly cool night, as temperatures dip down to around 8—11 celsius. so it means for tomorrow morning, well, again, it's a similar story — dry to start, but we have a weak front bringing some cloud, maybe a few showers around, and for sunday as well, it's largely dry with some sunshine. so overall, not a bad weekend in store.

there should be a lot of dry weather, some good spells of sunshine, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers, and temperatures generally reaching around the high teens, becoming more unsettled for the start of next week. that's it. head to our website to find out about your voice your vote, how you can let us know about the general election issues that matter to you. we're back in half an hour. see you then. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson

and naga munchetty. our headlines today... more people are joining the search for the presenter michael mosley, who has gone missing while on holiday on a greek island. ahead of a bbc debate between the seven main parties in britain, prime minister rishi sunak denies accusations that he deliberately lied about labour's tax plans. scientists are trying to find the source of an e.coli outbreak that has seen 113 people fall sick across the uk. a week before scotland get the euros underway, a big call by the england boss, as gareth southgate opts for youth over experience and decides to leave one of his most talented players, jack grealish, at home. and showers are on the menu again today, particularly for the northern half of the country. we could see more of them this weekend and it will stay rather cool throughout. i'll have the forecast.

it's friday the seventh ofjune. a search is continuing on the greek island of symi this morning for the tv presenter, michael mosley, who has gone missing while on holiday. his wife raised the alarm after he failed to return from a hike on wednesday lunchtime. our correspondent, simonjones, has the latest. in the scorching greek sunshine, the searches are continuing — both on land and from the air — trying to find out what has happened to michael mosley. this picture — along with an appeal for information — was posted on a local facebook group. greek police say michael mosley was with his wife on st nicholas beach on wednesday lunchtime when he decided to go for a walk. a sighting was reported at pedi. he then failed to return. he didn't have his phone with him. what can science tell us about getting a better night's sleep? some people think of sleep as a luxury... michael mosley, who's 67, has been on our tv screens for more than two decades, talking about health and science. apparently, this is the easiest

and most reliable way to find out. a presenter known for getting stuck in. i've got this list of the things that i'm allowed on my new diet. he would often focus on diet and exercise. he's a regular on the one show — last night's programme opened with the presenters sharing the feelings of many viewers... lots of us concerned to hear that our friend michael mosley has gone missing whilst on holiday in greece, and our thoughts are very much with his wife clare and the rest of his family at this worrying time. we hope for more positive news. ..and his disappearance is the front page story on the daily mail, where he's a columnist. the search is proving to be challenging, covering rugged terrain. the police, firefighters, a sniffer dog and volunteers are involved. all the rescue teams of the island are looking to find him. with drones, they are going to all the islands. as concerns for michael mosley grow,

police say more officers willjoin the search today, as an extreme heat warning for the island is issued. simon jones, bbc news. our thoughts are with his family at this moment in time, who are obviously very concerned about his whereabouts. our correspondentjoe inwood is on the neighbouring island of rhodes, and joins us now. good morning. this has taken so many people by surprise and so many people by surprise and so many people are so concerned. i should say, we have actuallyjust arrived in symi. it is very concerning. michael mosley has been a fixture on british tv and radio for many years, of course on radio four but also a column in the daily mail. he is one of the most trusted

science journalists, mail. he is one of the most trusted sciencejournalists, he has won awards for his reporting on a whole range of subjects, especially to do with mental and physical well—being. i mention i am on a ferry, we are on the way to symi now, it is more than 36 hours since he was last seen. the perspiration on my brow gives some indication of how hot it is here, and it is onlyjust gone nine in the morning and it will only get hotter. if he is lost on land somewhere, one of the theories, this extreme heat will be a concern. the other theory is he could have fallen somewhere and that is why the search and rescue operation is notjust on land but in the sea as well. our correspondent making his way to the island of symi where michael mosley is missing.

now, we are well into the campaign in the lead up to the election and we have had the head—to—head between the leaders of the conservative party and the labour party. yes, tonight we have deputies representing labour and the conservatives. representatives of the seven biggest parties in the uk will take part in a special 90—minute election debate on the bbc tonight, where they'll face questions from the audience. our political correspondent hannah millerjoins us from outside the bbc�*s central london headquarters, where it will be held. although we are thinking about tonight, this seven way debate happening, there is still fall out from what happened in the head—to—head between keir starmer and rishi sunak the other night. yes, after the last debate there was an almighty row with the labour party accusing the prime minister of

lying after he used dubious figures to talk about their plans. now, in an interview with itv�*s tonight programme, the prime minister denied that was the case and has refused to acknowledge the fact, it seems, that some of the calculations were done on the basis of assumptions by conservative advisers. let's have a listen. are you willing to lie i in order to stay in power? no. the labour party say you are a liar. i think it is pretty desperate stuff. keir starmer and the labour party are obviously very rattled that we have exposed their plans to raise tax on people. that's what it demonstrates. your claim is dubious. you know it's dubious. no, i think people know i am across the detail when it comes to numbers. the chancellor gave a press conference on this very topic almost a month ago where he laid out the workings behind what we were saying. his permanent secretary at the treasury said, i "do not use this to claim that civil i servants crunched these numbers." no, that is not right.

now there is another row brewing about the timing of that interview. it was done yesterday afternoon after the prime minister came back from the d—day commemorations in france. he came back early, he left the uk foreign secretary david cameron to appear in the pictures alongside other world leaders. sir keir starmer stayed at the event for longer. we don't know whether the prime minister had anything else on yesterday afternoon that might have meant he had to come back early but that decision has gone down pretty badly with many conservatives. we tried to ask the conservative party if there was any other reason or explanation but so far we have been met with silence.— met with silence. thank you. tonight's _ met with silence. thank you. tonight's debate _ met with silence. thank you. tonight's debate will - met with silence. thank you. tonight's debate will take i met with silence. thank you. i tonight's debate will take place at the bbc headquarters in central london. so what can else we expect from tonight's debate? here's our political correspondent leila nathoo.

the stage is set. seven senior politicians from seven parties are preparing to meet here tonight. for an hour and a half, they'll face questions from audience members and those sent in by voters across the country. their policies, their performances in the spotlight. the leader of the commons, penny mordaunt, will represent the conservatives. for labour, its deputy leader, angela rayner. daisy cooper, liberal democrat deputy leader, will make her party's case, as will stephen flynn for the snp. green party co—leader carla denyer will appear alongside plaid cymru's leader, rhun ap iorwerth, and nigel farage will take part after becoming leader of reform uk earlier this week. meanwhile, the two main parties are still putting out policies ahead of their manifesto launches. labour says if it wins power, it will make permanent an existing government scheme designed to ensure first—time buyers can access low—deposit mortgages through the state acting as a guarantor for part of the loan. the conservatives have put forward plans to allow high earners to keep more of their child benefit.

the party says if it continues to govern, the threshold at which parents start to lose child benefit through a tax charge will double to £120,000. and it's committed to a previously announced proposal to assess claimants as a household rather than an individual. plenty still to be digested and scrutinised as political parties continue to vie for votes. leila nathoo, bbc news. the green party will be represented in that debate tonight. the green party is facing fresh allegations of antisemitism, after a number of its parliamentary candidates were accused of sharing offensive content online. the latest claims follow an investigation by the times newspaper, but the party has already taken action following similar criticism during the local elections last month. earlier, ellie chown told us the party was taking the issue seriously. we have a very firm and serious

process for reviewing any concerns raised with us about any potential candidates. that is completely separate from leadership and sportspeople, as is correct. that process has been gone through and our full list of candidates will be announced this afternoon. donald trump has taken part in his first campaign rally since he was convicted of fraud last week. he took questions from voters in arizona — a key battleground state. extreme heat left 11 people needing hospital treatment as several thousands of supporters waited outside the event. a woman who is said to have inspired a character in the series baby reindeer has filed a law suit against netflix seeking at least $170 million. fiona harvey says that the show has caused her emotional distress as the martha character was portrayed as convicted stalker.

hundreds of beacons have been lit up across the uk to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d—day. britain's towns and villages proudly sparked flames in remembrance of the thousands of lives lost, and to bring an end to the emotional celebrations of the last few days. safety officials say the uk can expect more cases of e.coli in an outbreak that has already seen more than 100 people fall sick. tests are ongoing to find the source, but experts believe it is mostly likely to be linked to a widely available food product. our health reporter michelle roberts has more. most often, people catch e.coli from eating contaminated food. past outbreaks have been linked to bean sprouts, pre—packed salads and sandwiches, and undercooked meat. in the new year, some lancashire cheese was recalled as a precaution after an e.coli death. it's not yet known what's behind the current spate of cases being investigated. lab tests suggest this is a single outbreak,

says the uk health security agency that's hunting for the cause. it predicts more cases to come. so far, there have been 81 cases in england, 18 in wales, 13 in scotland, and one person sick in northern ireland, who believes they caught it in england. the youngest of the 113 ill in recent weeks is two, and the oldest 79. while most people will easily recover, some can be very unwell. these type of e.coli infections are associated with a very nasty diarrhoea, sometimes vomiting. in the vast majority of people, it's a self—limiting infection, but it is quite a nasty diarrhoeal disease, and you will be off work for a few days with it and so on. so, as i say, it can range from unpleasant diarrhoea to, unfortunately, sometimes much more complicated infections. since the bacteria that cause the illness thrive

in the gut and faeces, people can also get sick from contact with infected animals or contaminated waterways. in march, rowers in the oxford cambridge boat race were warned not to swim in the river thames because of e.coli. it usually takes a few days from being infected for symptoms like diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach cramps and fever to show. consumers will be told if and when a food source is identified. michelle roberts, bbc news. the countdown to the paris olympics has begun — with just 50 days to go until the opening ceremony. this morning, one of the city's most iconic monuments, the eiffel tower, has been adorned with the olympic rings to mark the event. you can just about see them, between the first and second stages. there we to. as

is the launch of the big help out, it began last year as part of the king's correlation, and it coincides this year with volunteer week. it has been running a0 years and it can make such a difference, it can also help volunteers themselves. alison freeman has _ help volunteers themselves. alison freeman has been _ help volunteers themselves. alison freeman has been finding - help volunteers themselves. alison freeman has been finding out. i i come here after i've been to my usualjob. it's a way to de—stress. it's a brilliant way to unwind. it's my happy place, really. you know, they don'tjudge you, theyjust want to have a nice time. and the end goal for us here, i think, is when that dog goes out that gate over there with its little waggy tail, and it's gone to its forever home. just some of the small army

of volunteers who help look after the furry residents at this shelter in newcastle every week. and whilst the charity says their help is invaluable, those that give their time for free say they definitely get something back. like liza, who started to help care for the dogs here after she lost her mum about 18 months ago. it was just a really dark time. itjust left me feeling completely lost and without purpose. so coming in here and getting to spend time with the animals, they give me so much more than i could give them. this week is volunteer�*s week, which is celebrating its a0th anniversary, and so vital are the 30 volunteers that help here, the shelter�*s received funding to employ a volunteer manager. it's an animal shelter. i take it you don't have too many problems getting volunteers to come here. that obviously is a real motivating factor.

but i've had volunteers just say to me just this week that they came initially for the animals, but the reason that they stay volunteering is for the people. my role is all about ensuring that the volunteers do have a good experience and we do value them and we do things to actually show our appreciation. and that's what volunteers week is all about, about celebrating our wonderful volunteers. like many charities, the shelter has struggled in recent times, and has even had to shut one of its sites, so the work of the volunteers means employees are freed up to focus on other areas. volunteers bring enthusiasm, passion, they support the staff, which frees up time to work with behaviour and to help rehome as well, so it really is a win—win. damien started volunteering during the pandemic, when he was struggling with his own mental health and his dad's terminal illness. can't put into words exactly how it makes me feel when i see the animals get rehomed, but it gives me so much joy.

you sound like you absolutely love it here. i just want to work with animals, that's all they ever want to do. i love it. cos it's rewarding, being able to help these dogs that, you know, have been neglected. you come home with a sense of accomplishment. it's not like coming to work at all. it's like coming and doing something so refreshing. i come on a sunday so it makes my sundays. when you can see a dog happy, i'm happy. alison freeman, bbc news, newcastle. it makes such a difference. i'm going to talk tojoshua. you decided to volunteer and that decision really helped save someone's life. tell is what happened. i really helped save someone's life. tell is what happened.— really helped save someone's life. tell is what happened. i was in my house and — tell is what happened. i was in my house and i— tell is what happened. i was in my

just some of the incidence of smartphone thefts captured on camera. the met police say that a phone is taken every ten minutes. it is utterly brazen. disgusting. ben's here now to tell us more. it makes you so angry when you see that. you realise how helpless pedestrians are at this moment in time against these motorbike or cycle riders. taste time against these motor bike or cycle riders-_ time against these motor bike or cle riders. ~ . ., ., , cycle riders. we have had so many examles cycle riders. we have had so many examples from — cycle riders. we have had so many examples from people _ cycle riders. we have had so many examples from people watching i cycle riders. we have had so many examples from people watching at home. it takes a second for the phones to be snatched but the fallout can take weeks or months to deal with. fallout can take weeks or months to dealwith. some fallout can take weeks or months to deal with. some examples, a woman said it happened to her daughter, a man on a bike snatched the phone out of her hand on the street. someone else said it happened outside a supermarket underneath the cctv, so impossible to track whoever took it.

someone else said it was stolen from her coat pocket in a supermarket but fortunately the phone was blocked by the provider pretty quickly but it was still unnerving. there are different ways that the thieves target people. someone said he was at a table outside a cafe and someone asked for money, pretended to faint across the table and in the commotion his phone was taken. you have to be extra vigilant. and this is a striking example, someone's 25—year—old son held up at knife—point early in the morning by two men and by 8:30am, a loan for £25,000 had been taken out in his name even though he had facial recognition on the phone and he said, this was back in march, they are still trying to sort it out. i health assistant who earns 30,000 a year and he can't afford to pay back

however, rents in the capital are still the highest in the country. in london, the average rent isjust over £2,100 a month, significantly above the national average ofjust over £1,200. a homeless artist has been helped to set up an art exhibition after he couldn't afford the licence needed to sell his own work from where he slept on the streets. charity under one sky, who helped david, says more should be done to support other artists wanting to help themselves out of homelessness. the situation was one where he wanted to sell his work but he actually couldn't afford the license to do it legally on the streets, and so our team came up with the idea of doing an exhibition for david, so really a life—changing exhibition. transport for london and santander bikes are offering free 30—minute slots for cyclists on sundays for the rest of the month.

it's part of transport for london's cycle sundays initiative which aims to encourage londoners, who are new to cycling, to explore the capital by bike. the cycle sunday routes include an accessible tour of the queen elizabeth olympic park and park rides in greenwich and battersea. let's take a look at the tubes now. most lines are running well, but thejubilee line is part suspended between west ham and stratford. and ham and stratford. minor delays on the district line. and there is a planned partial closure of the london overground. now onto the weather with kawser. hello. good morning. it's a fairly cool start to the day, but largely dry out there with some good spells of sunshine around as well, although cloud will tend to increase as we head through the day. but it's a dry, bright start with plenty of sunshine during the course of the morning. by the afternoon, though, cloud will tend to build, but there'll still be a lot of dry weather,

just a few scattered showers around, and temperatures reaching around 17—19 celsius with a moderate westerly breeze. into the evening, any showers will fade away. it becomes largely dry with some clearer skies developing, and under the clearer skies, it will be another fairly cool night, as temperatures dip down to around 8—ii celsius. so it means for tomorrow morning, well, again, it's a similar story — dry to start, but we have a weak front bringing some cloud, maybe a few showers around, and for sunday as well, it's largely dry with some sunshine. so overall, not a bad weekend in store. there should be a lot of dry weather, some good spells of sunshine, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers, and temperatures generally reaching around the high teens, becoming more unsettled for the start of next week. that's it. head to our website to find out about your voice, your vote — how you can let us know about the general election issues that matter to you. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty.

as part of our election coverage, the bbc wants to better understand what matters most to you, the voters. we're running a project called your voice, your vote, and it's all about listening to you over the next few weeks and answering the questions you send us. our analysis editor ros atkins has been looking at some of your quesitons about polling. we're receiving thousands of questions from you about this election. you can send in yours to bbcyourvoice@ bbc.co.uk. and here are some questions you've sent on polling. roger in lincolnshire asks why do the polls report the whole of the uk? and he goes on to say, "they're misleading, they need dividing by country — wales, scotland, northern ireland and england." well, roger, there are limited polls doing that. this is the bbc�*s poll tracker. it shows average support for each party. it uses a range of polls from across great britain, but there are very few polls for individual nations. since this election was called,

there have been four in scotland, two in wales, and none in northern ireland. that's compared to over 20 across great britain as a whole. also, polls are expensive and most are commissioned by media organisations. for a general election, more often than not, those paying for the polls want the whole national picture. now, gordon in devon has a related question. well, first things first, gordon, the bbc doesn't commission polls during election periods, though we do track national polls, as i've just mentioned. as for constituency level polling, it's rare and problematic. joe twyman from deltapoll told us, "while it's technically

still possible to do constituency level polling in britain, it's very expensive, can take a longtime, and is extremely difficult to conduct with any degree of accuracy." next is richard in ramsgate, who really cuts to the chase, asking, "as the polls stand, how would that relate to the number of seats won by each party?" well, the bbc doesn't make these calculations, but some bigger polls called mrp polls do. and we've had several recently all give labour a majority of well over 100 seats. some puts it much higher, though, as my colleague peter barnes advises us, as with all polls, these figures should be treated with a good degree of caution. and here's a final question from 0ra in beckenham, asking, "why don't you show that don't know percentage? surely this figure could be significant." well, laura, you're right. as you can see, the bbc doesn't show don't know�*s on our tracker. that's because each polling company measures don't know and won't vote in different ways.

and these differences in methodology make it difficult to show don't know�*s in trackers like ours. however, if you look into the detail of individual polls, it's often possible to find that information. thank you very much indeed to all of you who've sent in questions, do keep them coming. a reminder to contact us at bbcyourvoice@bbc.co.uk. and you can find our poll tracker on the bbc news app. we are joined now by neil gray from the snp. iam i am looking at the polls and the predictions of how the snp might fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, do fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, do you fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, do you think fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, do you think you fare in the selection. you won a8 seats in 2019, do you think you can hold onto those? taste seats in 2019, do you think you can hold onto those?— hold onto those? we will be campaigning _ hold onto those? we will be campaigning hard _ hold onto those? we will be campaigning hard for- hold onto those? we will be campaigning hard for everyl hold onto those? we will be - campaigning hard for every vote and working to re—earn the trust of every constituency in scotland. we will campaign on the message that sending snp mps to westminster means that scotland's voice is heard, we will make sure that scotland's interests up at first, and in the selection, we can already see why

change in party, you have to have a change in party, you have to have a change in policy, and we are not seen that from the labour party, they are quite happily signing up to they are quite happily signing up to the tory fiscal rules which means continued austerity. the institute for fiscal studies reckons £18 billion worth of austerity. that is hugely damaging for scottish public services, which have suffered from a decade and behalf of the state that it already. we are taking decisions in scotland with more progressive taxation, raising £1.5 billion more for our public services, and a real terms increase been passed on to our nhs in contrast to other parts of the uk, but we cannot sustain that with continued austerity which is why we need snp mps of westminster fighting for the continued interest or scotland. d0 fighting for the continued interest or scotland-— or scotland. do you think your messaue or scotland. do you think your message is — or scotland. do you think your message is getting _ or scotland. do you think your message is getting across - or scotland. do you think your message is getting across to i or scotland. do you think your- message is getting across to those who have supported you in the past? latest figures show that the donations to the snp, significant donations to the snp, significant donations to the scottish national party, were not registered, they

vote is because the snp has allowed independence took four down the mist of priorities. can you say he is not right? —— took full down the list of priorities. —— to fall. right? -- took full down the list of priorities. -- to fall.— priorities. -- to fall. yes, he is wronu. priorities. -- to fall. yes, he is wrong- the _ priorities. -- to fall. yes, he is wrong. the brexit _ priorities. -- to fall. yes, he is wrong. the brexit consensus i priorities. -- to fall. yes, he is i wrong. the brexit consensus that there is at westminster, and the lack of action that we have seen on the major issues of the last few years in the uk, which has been the cost of living crisis. we in scotland are energy rich but power pooh scotland are energy rich but power poor. we have the energy to support our country, and yet we see people suffering in fuel poverty across scotland. that is utterly wrong. that is why we need full power over our energy policy, for instance, to drive down people's bills that have been a driving and fuelling the skyrocketing uk inflation that we have seen that has so damaged our

public services. that is why we need to send snp mps to westminster, short of independence, to make sure that scotland's voice is heard, that scotland's priorities are put first, and we see a break from the consensus we are seeing on austerity, brexit, the lack of action on the cost of living crisis. neil gray, thank you very much for your time with us here on bbc breakfast. a full list of all the candidates standing in the airdrie and shotts constituency is on the bbc website —— the bbc news website. mike is here for some more sport. gareth southgate had to cut some players. a huge reaction in the press this morning. a week until the euros start.

if you want a sense of how being left out of a euros squad feels, just look at the social media reaction ofjames maddison, another england player to miss out. "devastated doesn't quite cut it," he wrote. jack grealish and harry maguire are two huge names who must also now deal with the disappointment of being left at home. many pundits are applauding him for looking past his favourites and picking younger players who have had strong seasons. maguire can at least point to an injury. he hasn't recovered sufficiently from the calf injury which kept him out of the fa cup final last month.

he hasn't played since april, but was always one of gareth southgate's favoruites. maguire says he's devastated. as for grealish, one of the most talented most expensive stars, but has struggled to break into manchester city's starting line—up towards the end of the league season. he remained on the bench throughout the cup final. he did feature for england as a substitute on monday, but it's not proved enough. we need players that are fit and ready to go from the start, so again, another really difficult call. you know how i feel about harry maguire and what he's done for england, and what he's done for me as a manager, of course. madders and jack both give us something different as well, so they have been tough calls, they've been calls that we've gone over and over and over as a group of staff. we just feel other players have had stronger seasons, particularly in the last six months or so. in the scotland camp, bbc sport understands goalkeeper craig gordon and defender

john souttar are the players set to miss out on euro 202a. head coach steve clarke must trim his squad from 28 to 26 after tonight's friendly with finland at hampden park. his full focus was getting the team in shape for the tournament opener against hosts germany, as the squad held an opening training session. scotland finally ended a run of seven games without a win by beating gibraltar 2—0 on monday, but it was hardly a performance to worry the germans and attracted more criticism, which perplexes clarke. any time i read a little snippet from somebody who wants to be negative norman, ijust dismiss it, because what's to be negative about? we're going into another major tournament, the squad's in a good place, we're all determined to do as well as we can for wir country — why notjust relax and enjoy it? that is what we're going to try to do. obviously we've got to produce the goods on the pitch, and that's what we'll do. perhaps the football team can channel the brilliant start by scotland's cricketers at the t20 world cup, as they beat namibia, in barbados to go top of their group. their opening game against england was a washout, but scotland captain richie berrington made up for lost time. he clobbered the winning runs

with an over and a half to spare to seal victory by five wickets. their next game is against oman on sunday. the united states pulled off one of the biggest shocks in cricket history by beating former champions pakistan in a super over in dallas. with both teams on 159 runs after their 20 overs, they went to added time. but pakistan fell apart, and with seven required from the last ball, shad—ab khan could only take a single, sparking these joyous celebrations from the american players and supporters. after beating canada in their opening game, they could be one win away, from progressing to the super eights in their first world cup, having only played their first t20 international in 2019. we are approaching the climax of the french open, and iga swiatek has moved closer to a third title in a row after beating the american coco gauff to reach the final.

the 23—year—old swiatek will face the italianjasmine paolini after she beat russian teenager mirra andreeva in the second semifinal yesterday. paolini had never previously gone beyond the second round in paris, but is experiencing a late career bloom at the age of 28. world champion lotte kopecky leads the tour of britain women after stage 1 from welshpool to llandudno winning the sprint finish by a matter of millimetres. britons pfeiffer georgi and lizzie diegnan are third and fourth. teams will go through wrexham today, with the third stage starting in warrington before the race concludes with a stage from manchester to leigh. thanks, mike. the time is 7.a6. the world has been marking 80 years since the d—day landings with a series of emotional events, with the king and joe biden among the leaders who travelled to normandy to join veterans in commemorating the anniversary. let's take a look now at some of the key moments

from the last couple of days honouring the bravery and sacrifice of those who served. of the 130 [ads in my company, only 19 of us made it home. in those desperate battles, they gave their lives for the peace we enjoyed today. here in bayeux cemetery, 80 years later, being back with them again makes me so sad, but also very proud of the sacrifice they made for us all. i will never forget them. my families and their families and friends will never forget them. we will remember them.

it is all because of gummy's quick thinking, his desire to help those around him, that i can stand before you today. i wish i could tell him i have never taken his sacrifice for granted, and will always remember him and our friends. so, gummy, thank you, my old friend. pipes play.

they lost their lives on the d—day landing grounds, or in the many battles that followed. it is with the most profound sense of gratitude that we remember them and all those who served at that critical time. last post plays. age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. at the going down of the sun,

and in the morning, we will remember them. we will rememberthem. god save the king plays. even though this happens every year, this felt different. it has always been important, it has always been a key part of our culture and part of our remembers, but it felt important. t our remembers, but it felt important-— our remembers, but it felt imortant. :, .y :, important. i heard some lucy on the radio yesterday. _ important. i heard some lucy on the

this chart showers how attempt compare to normal. the blue indicate conditions below normal, and into next weekend, next week, even, those breeze deep in even further. those tantras could drop even more. into a rather cool and chilly spell. cool conditions at the moment because we have an air of low pressure just to the north of us, drawing on the air all the way from iceland on these western north—westerly winds. this weather front come southwards across scotland this morning, here it is, some burst of heavy rain working across scotland the last few hours, and now to northern ireland as well. a few showers either side of it, the odd one out toward western parts of england and wales, but lots of various staying dry. cloud amount is increasing, chance of a few showers, more persistent rain spreading into northern england late this morning come into the afternoon, quite a brisk wind across the country today, winds you are out about some

sentimental feel distinctly chilly, colder than the numbers would suggest on here, 11 to 19 celsius. into this evening and overnight, we will see some of the showers continue across parts of england and wales, also more specially a more frequent showers in the north and west of scotland. vilas goes to the east of scotland, here are the coldest conditions and tomorrow morning, down at a low single figures. not a low single figures. not as chilly tonight across parts of england and wales because we will see a bit more cloud and those showers around. here we go into saturday, more graphic than in wales to begin with, wales, were most likely to disease outbreaks of rain first then. frequent showers across scotland, and indeed whatever your plans on saturday, just cater for the chance of a few showers around, certainly more across southern and is compared with yesterday. temperatures around 17 to 19 celsius. into saturday night and to sunday morning, temperatures dropping widely down to low single figures. sunday another chilly day, more sunshine and showers. thanks,

he was born with brain damage. so we were told day one that robin might never walk or talk or do any of the normal things that a baby does. but at brainwave, robin is given specialist physio. it gave us a little bit of hope and they really listened to us as parents. and he can now nearly sit up. 3a years ago, sally's daughter natalie had just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. the doctors said she would never walk, talk or sit up, and basically just to put her in a corner and sit her in a chair and make her as comfortable as possible, and have more babies. sally ignored the doctors and devoted her life to her daughter. with the help of brainwave, spent seven hours each day doing specialist exercises. i was accepted onto a place at university to do my undergrad and then i went on to do my masters degree. natalie recently got married and walked down the aisle,

something doctors said she would never do. and without brainwave, none of this would have been possible. olly and his wife amelia had a little girl, madi, seven weeks ago. is it different coming here since becoming a dad? it's made me more determined, actually, now that i'm a dad, even more. i was determined before but now even more, like i want to raise more awareness. because when you become a dad, you understand, oh, my god, you know, you've got to look after this little person and you want to give them the best possible chances in life. olly says becoming a dad at a0 is all he's ever wanted. it's amazing, i didn't realise babies pooed so much, that was a bit of a shock. i haven't been at home that much because i've been on tour with take that. who, this weekend, olly will be performing with in bristol. yeah, really busy weekend in bristol. especially now the stadiums, you are outdoors, it's a different kind of atmosphere, the way there, it's been lovely. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

one. it's friday the seventh ofjune. our main story. rishi sunak has apologised for leaving the d—day commemorations in normandy early. that was on social media in the last 15 minutes. the prime minister didn'tjoin world leaders for a ceremony on omaha beach yesterday. in a statement on social media he said the decision to leave was a mistake. our political correspondent hannah millerjoins us now. we have been speaking about this this morning and rishi sunak is now apologising. this morning and rishi sunak is now a-ruoloisin. , this morning and rishi sunak is now apologising-— apologising. yes, quite an extraordinary _ apologising. yes, quite an extraordinary thing - apologising. yes, quite an extraordinary thing to - apologising. yes, quite an - extraordinary thing to happen, particularly during an election period when leaders' movements are so carefully calculated. we have that statement just released so carefully calculated. we have that statementjust released in the last 15 minutes or so. he said, "the 80th anniversary of d—day has been a

profound moment to honour the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our values, freedom and democracy. the anniversary should be about those who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country," and he says the last thing he wants is for it to be overshadowed by politics. "i care deeply about veterans and have been honoured to represent the uk at a number of events in portsmouth and france over the past two days and to meet those who fought so bravely. after the conclusion of the british eventin after the conclusion of the british event in normandy," he said he returned back to the uk, on reflection it was a mistake not to stay in france longer, "and i apologise." the labour party have been making a lot of this. rishi sunak came back and did an interview with itv yesterday, suggesting he came back to do the election interview rather than staying longer

at such a major event. it now seems clear that rishi sunak and the conservative party have calculated that was a mistake and they hope by talking about it and getting the apology out of the way it will blow over but i am not entirely sure at this stage it is the image the hope to be portraying. this stage it is the image the hope to be portraying-— this stage it is the image the hope to be portraying. interesting about what this does _ to be portraying. interesting about what this does in _ to be portraying. interesting about what this does in terms _ to be portraying. interesting about what this does in terms of - what this does in terms of campaigning moving forward, and the tone, because the implication when he said, "the last thing i want is commemorations to be overshadowed by politics," is that he very much did that, so now it is how much he continues to fight for his party, his remaining government, or he takes a step back and shows some humility perhaps. fishd takes a step back and shows some humility perhaps-— humility perhaps. and i think the a oloa is humility perhaps. and i think the apology is an _ humility perhaps. and i think the apology is an attempt _ humility perhaps. and i think the apology is an attempt to - humility perhaps. and i think the apology is an attempt to show. humility perhaps. and i think the l apology is an attempt to show that humility. it is quite a big thing for a political leader at any time to say they got that wrong. not

something that happens very often, certainly not during an election campaign. we know both the conservative party and particularly the labour party have been trying to portray themselves as being on the side of veterans, on the side of national security, making a big play of their leadership around those kinds of issues, and i think this apology today for a rishi sunak is an attempt to draw a line under something where perhaps they know they have given the labour party something of an advantage because keir starmer did stay at that event for longer than the prime minister yesterday. for longer than the prime minister esterda . 9, ~ for longer than the prime minister esterda . :, ~ , :, it is six minutes past eight. we have had this news in the last 20 minutes or so, this post on social media coming out. what is happening tonight? who is representing the conservative party? penny mordaunt. this will be a focus of the debate tonight, definitely a key issue.

yes, we will talk about that in a moment but the other main story today... a search is continuing on the greek island of symi this morning for the tv presenter, michael mosley — who has gone missing while on holiday. his wife raised the alarm after he failed to return from a hike on wednesday lunchtime. our correspondent, simonjones, has the latest. in the scorching greek sunshine, the searches are continuing — both on land and from the air — trying to find out what has happened to michael mosley. this picture — along with an appeal for information — was posted on a local facebook group. greek police say michael mosley was with his wife on st nicholas beach on wednesday lunchtime when he decided to go for a walk. a sighting was reported at pedi. he then failed to return. he didn't have his phone with him.

what can science tell us about getting a better night's sleep? some people think of sleep as a luxury... michael mosley, who's 67, has been on our tv screens for more than two decades, talking about health and science. apparently, this is the easiest and most reliable way to find out. a presenter known for getting stuck in. i've got this list of the things that i'm allowed on my new diet. he would often focus on diet and exercise. he's a regular on the one show. last night's programme opened with the presenters sharing the feelings of many viewers. lots of us concerned to hear that our friend michael mosley has gone missing whilst on holiday in greece, and our thoughts are very much with his wife clare and the rest of his family at this worrying time. we hope for more positive news. and his disappearance is the front page story on the daily mail, where he's a columnist. the search is proving to be challenging, covering rugged terrain. the police, firefighters, a sniffer dog and volunteers are involved. all the rescue teams of the island are looking to find him.

with drones, they are going into all the island. as concerns for michael mosley grow, police say more officers willjoin the search today, as an extreme heat warning for the island is issued. simon jones, bbc news. our correspondentjoe inwood is travelling to the island of symi. joe what more can you tell us this morning? i think you can get a sense of the island of symi. that is where michael mosley was last seen... t am michael mosley was last seen... i am so sor , michael mosley was last seen. .. i am so sorry. i— michael mosley was last seen... i am so sorry. i don't— michael mosley was last seen... i am so sorry, i don't think _ michael mosley was last seen... i am so sorry, i don't think the _ michael mosley was last seen... i am so sorry, i don't think the quality of the line was good enough so we will move on and speak about the

debate this evening. representatives of the seven biggest parties in the uk will take part in a special 90 minute election debate on the bbc tonight, where they'll face questions from the audience. interestingly, neither keir starmer nor rishi sunak will take part for their parties. our political correspondent leila nathoo has more. the stage is set. seven senior politicians from seven parties are preparing to meet here tonight. for an hour and a half, they'll face questions from audience members and those sent in by voters across the country. their policies, their performances in the spotlight. the leader of the commons, penny mordaunt, will represent the conservatives. for labour, its deputy leader, angela rayner. daisy cooper, liberal democrat deputy leader, will make her party's case, as will stephen flynn for the snp. green party co—leader carla denyer will appear alongside plaid cymru's leader, rhun ap iorwerth, and nigel farage will take part after becoming leader of reform uk earlier this week.

meanwhile, the two main parties are still putting out policies ahead of their manifesto launches. labour says if it wins power, it will make permanent an existing government scheme designed to ensure first—time buyers can access low—deposit mortgages through the state acting as a guarantor for part of the loan. the conservatives have put forward plans to allow high earners to keep more of their child benefit. the party says if it continues to govern, the threshold at which parents start to lose child benefit through a tax charge will double to £120,000. and it's committed to a previously announced proposal to assess claimants as a household rather than an individual. plenty still to be digested and scrutinised as political parties continue to vie for votes. leila nathoo, bbc news. the green party is facing fresh allegations of antisemitism, after a number of its parliamentary candidates were accused of sharing offensive content online. the latest claims follow an investigation by the times

newspaper, but the party has already taken action following similar criticism during the local elections last month. earlier, ellie chowns told us the party was taking the issue seriously. we have a very firm and serious process for reviewing any concerns raised with us about any potential candidates. that is completely separate from leadership and spokespeople, as is correct. that process is being gone through and our full list of candidates will be announced this afternoon. donald trump has taken part in his first campaign rally since he was convicted of fraud last week. he took questions from voters in arizona — a key battleground state. extreme heat left 11 people needing hospital treatment as several thousands of supporters waited outside the event. police have launched a murder investigation following a fatal stabbing in deptford. officers were called to carteret way at around 10.30pm last night.

a man, believed to be in his 20s, died at the scene. two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder. a woman who is said to have inspired a character in the series baby reindeer has filed a law suit against netflix seeking at least $170 million. fiona harvey says that the show has caused her emotional distress as the martha character was portrayed as convicted stalker. hundreds of beacons have been lit up across the uk to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d—day. britain's towns and villages proudly sparked flames in remembrance of the thousands of lives lost, and to bring an end to the emotional commemorations of the last few days. safety officials say the uk can expect more cases of e.coli in an outbreak that has already seen more than 100 people fall sick. tests are ongoing to find the source, but experts believe it is mostly likely to be linked

to a widely available food product. our health reporter michelle roberts has more. most often, people catch e.coli from eating contaminated food. past outbreaks have been linked to bean sprouts, pre—packed salads and sandwiches, and undercooked meat. in the new year, some lancashire cheese was recalled as a precaution after an e.coli death. it's not yet known what's behind the current spate of cases being investigated. lab tests suggest this is a single outbreak, says the uk health security agency that's hunting for the cause. it predicts more cases to come. so far, there have been 81 cases in england, 18 in wales, 13 in scotland, and one person sick in northern ireland, who believes they caught it in england. the youngest of the 113 ill in recent weeks is two, and the oldest 79.

while most people will easily recover, some can be very unwell. these type of e.coli infections are associated with a very nasty diarrhoea, sometimes vomiting. in the vast majority of people, it's a self—limiting infection, but it is quite a nasty diarrhoeal disease, and you will be off work for a few days with it and so on. so, as i say, it can range from unpleasant diarrhoea to, unfortunately, sometimes much more complicated infections. since the bacteria that cause the illness thrive in the gut and faeces, people can also get sick from contact with infected animals or contaminated waterways. in march, rowers in the oxford cambridge boat race were warned not to swim in the river thames because of e.coli. it usually takes a few days from being infected for symptoms like diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach cramps and fever to show. consumers will be told if and when

a food source is identified. michelle roberts, bbc news. the countdown to the paris olympics has begun, with just 50 days to go until the opening ceremony. this morning, one of the city's most iconic monuments, the eiffel tower, has been adorned with the olympic rings to mark the event. let's have a closer look. they are quite hard to see from that distance. just between the ground stage end of the middle stage, whatever they are called. paris has the eiffel tower, blah, blah, blah. look at what brighton has. the royal pavilion. blue skies to

begin with, a bit more cloud and the chance of a shower later. the wettest conditions have been in the northern half of the country. heavy rain moving south and east across scotland and northern ireland, pushing into the far north of england through the end of the morning and early afternoon, but the sunshine will come out with a scattering of showers and a blustery north—westerly wind in scotland and northern ireland. the southern half of the country starts with blue skies, already cloudy in wales and the south—west bringing a few showers which will move east, so after the blue skies there will be more cloud later but the chance of a showers slim in most areas, the majority staying dry, and temperatures similar to yesterday. feeling nice in the sun but feeling cool out of it. and that goes for tonight, across parts of england and wales a lot more cloud with the

chance of some showers dotted around, frequent showers and gusty winds in the north. temperatures could be down into single figures in the east. not as chilly a start to the east. not as chilly a start to the weekend as this morning but more showers this weekend with some sunshine in between and temperatures staying down for this stage of early june. 17 minutes past eight. it's one of the biggest events in the rugby league calendar and tomorrow the challenge cup will kick off seven minutes late in tribute to leeds rhinos legend, number seven, rob burrow. rob died at the age of a1 on sunday, after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019. he left an incredible legacy through his fundraising for mnd, and touched the lives of many, including those who treated him. graham satchell has been to meet some of them. rob burrow with his wife lindsey at seacroft hospital in leeds.

good to see you, rob. it was here that rob's motor neurone disease was managed by a large medical team led by drjung. first time i met him, he walked in with a huge smile, and i still remember the way he had jumped up onto the couch, helping me with the assessments. other patients drew a lot of strength from him, and it sort of made their day meeting him, and they would take photographs with him, and it was really quite amazing. 5.9 now... there is no cure for mnd. from the moment he was diagnosed, rob burrow knew his time would come. it made his approach to this cruel disease all the more remarkable. i think he was the most positive person i've come across, and really determined to do things the way that he wanted to do them and live his life the way that he wanted to,

despite motor neurone disease. just lift his arm up... rob at his mum's house, and a visit from ali, the specialist physiotherapist. his medical team got to know him well, his humour, his single mindedness. rob didn't always take my advice and, as with all aspects of his care, he had very strong opinions on what he wanted and when he wanted it, and rightly so. and he would come into clinic with a pre—programmed message for me on his ipad that would say, "thank you very much for the speech, but i'm going to say no," and we'd have a good laugh, and that big beaming smile. have we tried different masks already? yes, yeah, we tried quite a few. you're calling me a big nose! rob's been... what's the right word? stubborn, probably in some ways.

looking back, i have to say i admire him for that. i can't imagine somebody as fit, active, athletic like him, being given a diagnosis like this, a life—changing diagnosis like this, and thenjust run with it and make the best out of it, not just for anybody, for him or his family, but for everybody. i mean, it'sjust amazing. seacroft hospital wasn't designed for patients with mnd — it's old and tired, there's no parking nearby. this is rob with his family and medical team looking at a maggie's centre for cancer patients. rob wanted the same for those with mnd. he raised millions of pounds, determined the next generation would get better care. the centre means everything. the centre represents hope.

i break bad news in a room which doesn't even have windows. it's a cold, heartless, clinical room. this centre will provide that space where once you leave the room, you can have a private space to grieve in, to plan in, a place where patients will feel welcome, a place where you can, you know, there is no clinical coldness. it is a warm, welcoming space. yeah, this is much better for parking. the new centre will be a physical reminder of the difference rob has made. but his legacy goes much further. if we made a diagnosis, they didn't understand what mnd was, whereas now they'll say, "oh, that's what rob had." so people might have known the basics that it affects mobility and speech, but actually rob really showed them, in a human way, in a family way, how that affects someone. the level of understanding now for motor neurone

disease is fantastic. rob's medical team became part of his family. they helped him through every stage of his illness. it is a measure of the man that they say he helped them as much as they helped him. he looked out for me. in many ways. and i can see what sort of a team—mate he must have been, you know, looking out for his team members. and as i go towards the hospital, i see the big mural. and in that mural, rob has a very intense, focused expression on his face. that is how i remember him — with a cheeky grin and focus. and that is what will encourage me to keep going.

that report was from graham satchell. and if you'd like to see more about the life and legacy of rob, the full documentary there's only one rob burrow is on bbc iplayer now. it is excellent. i watched it. we've been talking this morning about a rise in mobile phone thefts, and the impact it can have on yourfinances. ben's having a look at this for us. there have been some remarkable pictures. they look remarkable but they have been becoming more unremarkable or commonplace. yes, it is happening more and more often.

yes, these incidents where thieves snatch phones from unsuspecting victims happen so quickly. take a look at these pictures. brazen phone thefts caught on camera. this is london, where the metropolitan police say a phone is taken every ten minutes. distressing for the victims and the financial fallout can be a real pain. and figures show that smartphones are now the most frequently stolen item, being taken in more than a third of thefts in england and wales. above cash and card theft. it's usually not the phones themselves but what we store on them that make them so attractive for theives. things like mobile banking apps, or having debit or credit card payments set up are making your phone a target. once the thieves have your personal details, they can potentially spend tens of thousands of pounds. primarily what's in it for them is data.

of course these days we have all of our banking and financial apps on our phones and all manner of passwords saved, perhaps, for every service we engage with, and that's primarily what they are after. that attracts a high price on the dark web. there are people who will pay many times the value of the handset just for the data that's on it. losses from mobile banking fraud totalled around £a5 million last year. that's the highest ever recorded total. more than 20,000 reported cases. the impact on victims can be devastating. we spoke to one man who wanted to stay anonymous. he was out with work colleagues when his drink was spiked, his phone was taken and he was defrauded of more than £20,000. the whole time these criminals had my phone, they were able to access my financial apps, and these four transactions resulted in significant money being withdrawn from my business and personal

accounts which has had a serious impact on my ability to run my company, and it's also had a serious impact on my mental health and that of my family. i think at 6am this morning when we covered this, you asked people to get in touch and we have had loads of e—mails but people watch this programme and hopefully we can learn and be safer. we have had some advice. ~ :, . :, :, . advice. the met police got in touch as well and — advice. the met police got in touch as well and they _ advice. the met police got in touch as well and they said _ advice. the met police got in touch as well and they said they - advice. the met police got in touch as well and they said they are - as well and they said they are seeing these types of offences increased and they have some tips to share. they say things like setting a strong screen lock or pass code on your phone makes it harderfor people if they are shoulder surfing to catch that. it is harder if it is a longer pin number. they say to ensure you do not keep passwords or

reset codes in the notes on your phone. i think we are all guilty of that to some extent. they say if someone asks for directions or if you are on a night out they asked to look at your phone, do not hand it over. distraction techniques are just as much a problem as these bike snatches. they say to put things like storage encryption, if you have sensitive data like banking information, make sure it is stored safely. lots of examples of this. if you cannot stop the thieves entirely, the best we can do is make their lives a little harder. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. a murder investigation is under way after a stabbing in south—east london. police were called just after 10.30 last night

to carteret way in deptford. a man in his 20s died at the scene. three people have been arrested. the rise in rents has slowed to its lowest level in 30 months, according to the property website zoopla. however, rents in the capital are still the highest in the country. in london, the average rent isjust over £2,100 a month, significantly above the national average ofjust over £1,200. a homeless artist has been helped to set up an art exhibition after he couldn't afford the licence needed to sell his own work from where he slept on the streets. the charity under one sky, who helped david, says more should be done to support other artists wanting to help themselves out of homelessness. his situation was one where he wanted to sell his work but he actually couldn't afford the license to do it legally on the streets, and so our team came up with the idea of doing an exhibition for david, so really a life—changing

exhibition. london's first new lido in decades is set to be built in east london. redbridge council have approved plans for a new outdoor 25—metre swimming pool, which is set to be built in valentines park. a splash pad, cafe, gym, and dance studio will also be built, with the new facilities expected to be open by autumn 2025. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the circle line and the district line and the hammersmith & city line. severe delays on thejubilee line, and two part suspensions to tell you about. on the piccadilly line, part suspended between acton town and hyde park, and the victoria line part suspended between victoria and brixton. now onto the weather with kawser. hello. good morning. it's a fairly cool start to the day,

but largely dry out there with some good spells of sunshine around as well, although cloud will tend to increase as we head through the day. but it's a dry, bright start with plenty of sunshine during the course of the morning. by the afternoon, though, cloud will tend to build, but there'll still be a lot of dry weather, just a few scattered showers around, and temperatures reaching around 17—19 celsius with a moderate westerly breeze. into the evening, any showers will fade away. it becomes largely dry with some clearer skies developing, and under the clearer skies, it will be another fairly cool night, as temperatures dip down to around 8—11 celsius. so it means for tomorrow morning, well, again, it's a similar story — dry to start, but we have a weak front bringing some cloud, maybe a few showers around, and for sunday as well, it's largely dry with some sunshine. so overall, not a bad weekend in store. there should be a lot of dry weather, some good spells of sunshine, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers, and temperatures generally reaching around the high teens, becoming more unsettled for the start of next week. that's it. head to our website to find out about your voice, your vote — how you can let us know about the general election

issues that matter to you. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. scientists say climate change could threaten the food supply of antarctic whales. sea ice is declining at an alarming rate, and researchers say humpback whales hold clues about the effect that's having on the marine ecosystem. our science correspondent victoria gilljoined a research mission, led by the wildlife charity wwf, which is carrying out health checks on humpbacks whales around the antarctic peninsula. delving into the lives of antarctica's giants. we're with a team of wildlife scientists studying humpback whales up close. that is pretty amazing,

to be able to see them under the water! the researchers have special permits to check the health of whales in this part of antarctica. the climate is shifting in the antarctic peninsula faster than anywhere else in antarctica. scientists want to know what impact rising temperatures and other pressures — like tourism and fishing — have on wildlife here. 0h! and they have a surprising way of finding that out. so is that a weapon? no, it's not a weapon, it's a tool. that tool allows natalia to take whale tissue biopsies. a tube on the end of each arrow takes just a tiny nick... ..out of each animal's body. the sample is three centimetres, something like that, for an animal, you know 16 metres long. so it's essentially a mosquito bite. well, it clearly didn't bother them very much because they're hanging around the boat. analysing this tissue can reveal if a female humpback is pregnant.

in years that we have low seas, then the following year, you have lower pregnancy rates, and that's as good as it gets in, like, you know, getting to know the environment and getting to know the effects of all these conservation threats on the animals. this is what the whales and many other animals here feed on — antarctic krill. swarms of them thrive here because they eat algae that lives in sea ice. so researchers want to know if this crucial marine food supply is decreasing as rising temperatures melt the ice. and they're using another scientific tool. oh, this is fantastic! the social, intelligent giants work together to catch krill inside a net of bubbles. as well as recording their behaviour, scientists use the drone to work out the whales' weight. from the drone, we're measuring how fat it's becoming over the season, and that's really important because some populations around the world are getting skinny because they're not getting enough to eat because of climate—change impacts.

gb's coming up on the left, mom's pooping. one quick health check on this environment is to examine what's coming out of the animals that depend on krill. liquid gold! is that what i think it is? it's exactly what you think it is, and it smells exactly like you think it would. it's whale poo. whale poo. yeah. by keeping a check on its gigantic residents, researchers hope to understand how to protect this fragile wilderness for all the wildlife here. victoria gill, bbc news, in the antarctic peninsula. victoria joins us now. lets pick up on that last bit, what can they find from whale poo? concentrated rotting fish is the best way i can describe it. the main thrust of this research is figuring out what is going on in this ocean

ecosystems, and because these animals eat so much and depend on the most important animals in that ocean, the krill... the most important animals in that ocean, the krill. . .— the most important animals in that ocean, the krill... which are among the smallest. _ ocean, the krill... which are among the smallest. yes, _ ocean, the krill... which are among the smallest. yes, about _ ocean, the krill... which are among the smallest. yes, about six - the smallest. yes, about six centimetres, _ the smallest. yes, about six centimetres, but _ the smallest. yes, about six centimetres, but so - the smallest. yes, about six i centimetres, but so numerous, the smallest. yes, about six - centimetres, but so numerous, their collective weight is more than the collective weight is more than the collective weight is more than the collective weight of every human on earth, that is how much krill as in the ocean. so they want to know if they are getting enough nutrition, what they're eating, what is the state of health, and actually, from whale poo, you can get all that information. you can see into their diet but you can also see hormones and signs of stress. haifa diet but you can also see hormones and signs of stress.— and signs of stress. how big is a whale poo? _ and signs of stress. how big is a whale poo? lt — and signs of stress. how big is a whale poo? it varies _ and signs of stress. how big is a whale poo? it varies depending | and signs of stress. how big is a l whale poo? it varies depending on the size of the _ whale poo? it varies depending on the size of the whale, _ whale poo? it varies depending on the size of the whale, but - whale poo? it varies depending on the size of the whale, but i i whale poo? it varies depending on the size of the whale, but i guess| the size of the whale, but i guess how much they have been eaten, but they are gorging themselves in the antarctic. the humpback wales head down in this huge epic migration from the tropic —— the humpback

sinks to the bottom of the ocean, that whole cycle of what is happening in the southern ocean is keeping our planet cool. it is in all of our interests to keep antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold, antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold. didn't— antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold. didn't you _ antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold, didn't you think— antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold, didn't you think it _ antarctica healthy and cold. you say cold, didn't you think it was - cold, didn't you think it was warmer? this was your second trip, wasn't it? , 9, warmer? this was your second trip, wasn't it? , :, ., , warmer? this was your second trip, wasn't it? , . ., , ., wasn't it? yes, that was later in the summer— wasn't it? yes, that was later in the summer that _ wasn't it? yes, that was later in the summer that we _ wasn't it? yes, that was later in the summer that we were i wasn't it? yes, that was later in | the summer that we were there, wasn't it? yes, that was later in i the summer that we were there, late march, which was right at the end of the summer season, so these scientists are hitching a lift on a tourist chip, they are doing with the tourist cruise at the same time, and they get to go to a lot of the places where the tourists go. got down to about —10, it is very cold when you're sitting still on that little boat, i was wearing a lot of layers, i get very cold hands, so i was being very stalwart, but the

to leave was a mistake. we're joined now by our correspondent tom symonds, who's travelling to a conservative party event, where the prime minister will be appearing later today. tom, what's your sense of how the mood will be there after this apology? rishi sunak, the prime minister, is not on this bus. he is meeting oscillator at an event in the south of england, but as you say, it did look like a mistake, didn't it, to pull out of that historical commemoration ceremony in france, where he was rubbing shoulders with volodymyr zelenskyy, joe biden,

where nigel farage, his big rival from the reform party, was happy to be seen, to come back to the uk to do an itv interview, where he was accused of lying. it is 8.a2 in the morning, and we have already had an apology from mrs announcing it was a mistake not to stay in france for longer, on reflection. that is open up longer, on reflection. that is open up a number of attack lines he will face later today, jonathan ashworth of the labour party at sing, choosing to prioritise his own vanity tv appearance of our veterans, rishi sunak has shown what is most important to him. you can be sure he will be asked questions about this throughout the day. he is expected to go to a nurse this morning to talk about the conservatives' offer on child benefit tax cuts, and a school later on to talk about education policy, but he will be talking about the day i think for the rest of the day. tom, thank you very much indeed. --

well, and effectively, there are very few moments that demonstrate being a prime minister more than being a prime minister more than being on the world stage were people like french president a manual art there, joe biden of the us and volodymyr zelenskyy of the ukraine, you have to be able to stand on the stage and show that you understand the gravity and the magnitude of the moment and represent the country. i think this has allowed opponents of rishi sunak to say, you did not take this seriously as it should have done, you are doubling far more interested in getting back to the politicking and doing with the thing that really mattered. —— french president emmanuel macron. their opponents will attack them very hard on this, there is a seven way party debate on the bbc tonight, including nigel farage, he was already making d—day one of his big points. you will use this to say, look, this conservative party does not understand what matters, that is why you should vote for me. so understand what matters, that is why you should vote for me.— you should vote for me. so craig oliver, thank _ you should vote for me. so craig oliver, thank you _ you should vote for me. so craig oliver, thank you very _ you should vote for me. so craig oliver, thank you very much i you should vote for me. so craig oliver, thank you very much for| you should vote for me. so craig i oliver, thank you very much for your time what i here on bbc breakfast,

former director of communications former director of communications for david cameron. just responding to that news we have had in the last hour or so, we have had a social media post from rishi sunak who has apologised for not staying in france longer. he said on reflection it was a mistake not to stay longer, he said i care deeply about veterans and have been honoured to represent the uk at a number of events in portsmouth in france over the last two days and to meet those who fought so bravely after the conclusion of the british event in normandy, i returned back to the uk. on reflection, it was a mistake not to stay in france longer and i apologise. the connotations around this and the anger being expressed by some around this is because rishi sunak did do an interview, a political interview, of course we are in an election campaign period, where he robustly defended the claim that the conservatives were making that the conservatives were making that under a labour government, in

working households would pay £2000 more. he also said, the last thing i want is for the commemoration is to be overshadowed by politics. so a clear response to the criticism that has been levied against him. this clear response to the criticism that has been levied against him. as we heard over. — has been levied against him. as we heard over. it _ has been levied against him. as we heard over, it is _ has been levied against him. as we heard over, it is not _ has been levied against him. as we heard over, it is not that _ has been levied against him. as we heard over, it is not that common i heard over, it is not that common for a very quick and fulsome apology from a senior politician. however, we will move on. it is 8.a6, let's have a look at the weather forecast. that looks a bit like belfast to me. grey sky in belfast behind us, but sunny for others. good morning. this is what is happening in belfast right now, cloud thickening, outbreaks of rain set to push their way in, splitting the country almost north and south today. some heavy rain across scotland so far, continuing to move south and east, also affecting northern ireland at the moment but it will clear through

to sunshine and showers for the rest of the day. at the same time, the far north of england will turn wetter, a few showers then breaking out elsewhere across northern england into the afternoon. south of that, much of england and wales will just see the odd shower dotted around. sunny this morning, cloud in this afternoon, a bit of brisk west to north—westerly wind, making it feel rather chilly when you're out of the sunshine at any point. this evening and overnight, northern parts will see further showers push their way in. england and wales a lot more cloud tonight compared with what we saw last night, so temp does not drop in quite as much. but it does mean a cloudier start to be we can hear. chance of some showers, some longer spells of rain in the north and west wales for a time during saturday morning, all moving south, then the sunshine breaks through and some across parts of northern england, northern ireland, south—west scotland, will have a drier day than they have through today. further heavy showers in the north west of scotland, and wintry of the higher ground. temperatures on saturday afternoon affair was

somewhat at this afternoon, around 11 to 19 celsius, but doing cooler in the breeze. italy start to sunday, particularly for england and wales, when we will see ten which is maybe as well as around three to four celsius for some in the midlands and southwards. some sunny spells, a few showers, most frequent in the north and west once again, and that cooler feel will continue as we go into next week. if anything, temperatures could drop a little bit more for a while. british summer! we will get there eventually. thanks, matt. it's the day taylor swift fans have been waiting for — the pop star's eras tour is finally here, and kicks off in edinburgh tonight. yes, swifties have waited more than a year for the show to arrive in the uk since she began her marathon string of dates in arizona in march last year. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is in edinburgh, and joins us now.

i think it is fair to say edinburgh is excited. they have turned the trams into taylor swift trams. they have been at the zoo after taylor swift. —— naming monkeys at the zoo after taylor swift. swift. —— naming monkeys at the zoo aftertaylor swift. loch swift. —— naming monkeys at the zoo after taylor swift. loch tay has been renamed loch taytay. more than a year after it started, today, taylor swift's eras tour finally reaches the uk. in the history of music, no tour had grossed $1 billion. at the end of this year, taylor swift's tour will pass the $2 billion mark. and as you can see from the length of queue for merchandise, edinburgh is very excited. cheering. hi from canada! how long is the queue? about an hour and a0 minutes, we timed it before we went in.

an hour and a0 minutes? an hour and a0 minutes. that's about two eras. nervous. why? we've been waiting for so long. i'm going to cry, like. not upset in a bad way. it's a sign of an artist's popularity when even their tribute acts are selling out venues. taylormania's current tour lasts until 2026. this is the ringmaster costume, and for me that is the red era, so i have to wear that. katy ellis used to do half her act as katy perry and half as taylor swift. now it's taytay all the way. are you ready to be taylor swift? iam. almost time. it's almost time. i love it. i never get sick of singing the songs because they're just amazing.

"oh, i relate to this today," and i think that's why she's so popular. and what are the essentials to being taylor swift on stage? well, she always does, like, lean back, arms out. that is definitely one, and the surprised face. so i'm looking left and right quite a lot as well. and the sold out crowd in shrewsbury on a monday night was almost entirely made up of mothers and daughters. i think she'sjust a really good idol. yeah, i think she's a good role model for young girls to have. it's the storytelling in her songs. it's life and experience and i think that's what the girls really enjoy, and i'm hoping that they grow out of it very quickly. she's a really good singer. and anything else you like? and she's really pretty. but many of taylor swift's fans are rather closer in age to her.

swiftageddon club nights take place around the country where for six hours, nothing is played apart from taylor swift. nobody so far has been either ignorant or confident enough to request a non—taylor swift tune. you don't get beyonce requested at this night. and it was clearjust how much taylor swift meant to these people at a night in manchester. she's only a few years older than me, and so i feel like all of her life experiences and young womanhood and becoming an adult, we've, like, done together, you know, like she feels like the big sister that i don't have. a world without taylor swift. are you joking? like, i was telling my parents, who, like, grew up around the '70s, like, "she's our beatles." i think it's the way she writes her songs as well are so relatable, and it makes you connect with her on a, like, deeper level. i love the lyrics, i love the melodies, just everything. i want to scream it in my car.

it's so good. it'sjust the most screamable songs. # i remember it all too well.# lana del rey is a friend of taylor swift, sang on her midnights album, and has a theory about the level of her popularity. she's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone, so it's good. she's getting exactly what she wants. she just loves it. like, she loves it. she's driven, you know? and it's really... i think it's really paid off. it certainly has. tonight's stadium show in edinburgh is the biggest in scottish history. 73,000 people will be singing along. colin paterson, bbc news. let's meet the people at the front of the queue, lillian grace from
