of symi last wednesday, his body was later recovered on a remote hillside following a four day search. from symi, our correspondent joe inwood reports. it was here on a rocky hillside that michael mosley was found. he was just metres from safety when he was seemingly overcome by the heat and collapsed. the people of this island and the greek authorities had done everything they could. despite that, he was not found for nearly four days. it was on that beach of agia marina that the body, which has now been identified as michael mosley, was found. he was found lying just to the right side of that fence you can see over there so really close to where people would have been relaxing and playing on this popular and busy beach. we spoke to a police source who said that the body of michael mosley had been there for a number of days. that the body of michael mosley had it was a tragic end to a story that

had begun on wednesday when michael mosley left the beach where he'd been with his wife clare atabout1.30pm. he was then picked up on a camera at a coffee shop here, a second one at a restaurant here, and then finally on one at a marina before he walked out of town, heading towards agia marina. but despite an extensive search and rescue operation involving police, fire, helicopters, dogs, even members of the public, in the end, he was found by accident. it emerged a greek television crew were filming with the mayor and only noticed the body in their shot when they got back to edit their pictures. translation: when we returned here in symi and the footage - was being prepared to send to athens, we spotted the body of a man. we informed the mayor and so the coastguard was immediately mobilized with the doctors. michael mosley�*s death was confirmed by his wife, clare. she said...

a medical team carefully moved michael mosley to a waiting coastguard boat then to rhodes for a postmortem. there has been a genuine sense of shock, of sadness on this quiet island over the disappearance and death of michael mosley, a man most had never met. imagine then, the pain of those who knew and loved him. joe inwood, bbc news, on the greek island of symi. joe joins us live now from symi. morning, joe. very sad development yesterday. what has the mood being on the island since the news came out? figs on the island since the news came out? �* , . , on the island since the news came out? ~ , . , . , , . out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, out? as i was reflecting in my piece there. there —

out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, there has _ out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, there has been _ out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, there has been a _ out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, there has been a real- out? as i was reflecting in my piece there, there has been a real sense | there, there has been a real sense of sadness on this island. michael mosley was not famous here, to most of the people of symi he was another holiday—maker, one of the thousands that come here every year. but i think the fact that someone had gone missing whilst on the island has really captured this community. also, people have learned more about him and i have learned the genuine affection with which he is held in the uk, other countries where he is known as a broadcaster, and a writer, they have realised the sort of person that has gone missing on this island. there has been a palpable sense of distress here. it's also worth reflecting that the people of symi and the greek authorities really did everything they could to try to find michael mosley. there has been this huge search and rescue operation, we have seen, certainly huge in the context of 2500 people, with helicopters, police, fire, ordinary people and british holiday—makers trying to scour the hillside to try and find

michael mosley. in the end it turns out there was nothing that could have been done, the cctv footage emerging has shown michael mosley collapsing just as he was approaching the beach, this is not confirmed, the postmortem will be taking place over the coming days, but it seemed he had an incident of some form on wednesday and was lying in that position ever since. so there was no search and rescue operation that could have saved his life. but this community has done everything it can do. it's also worth reflecting the sadness that his death has been met with around the world, he was obviously a hugely popular man. every single statement you hear talks about him being witty, generous, kind, one of his co—presenters talked about him being a national treasure. he's clearly someone that audiences held in huge affection. but his family are the ones who held him in such deep love and that statement from his wife was

so heartfelt. you can see the sadness and the love that she had for her husband as well.— sadness and the love that she had for her husband as well. thank you so much, for her husband as well. thank you so much. joe. _ for her husband as well. thank you so much, joe, live _ for her husband as well. thank you so much, joe, live in _ for her husband as well. thank you so much, joe, live in symi. - for her husband as well. thank you so much, joe, live in symi. we - for her husband as well. thank you so much, joe, live in symi. we will so much, joe, live in symi. we will be reflecting on the life and career of michael mosley this morning here on the programme. jon has more of the day's news. the liberal democrats will pledge to rescue the health service when they launch their election manifesto later. if elected, the party has promised it would boost spending on health and social care, recruit thousands more gps and end what they describe as "dental deserts." 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. the lib dems have been floating some ideas for reforming the health service for some time. but now the leader, sir ed davey, really wants to make a splash by putting what he calls a rescue package for the nhs at the heart of the party's manifesto. he says the nhs is in crisis in england. he's proposing a multi—billion pound cash injection over the next four years.

he says this would give everyone the right to see a gp within seven days or within 2a hours if urgent, guarantee access to an nhs dentist for everyone needing urgent and emergency care, and improve early access to mental health services. sir ed davey has also been banging the drum for social care, often the junior partner in the health system. his manifesto will devote a whole chapter to it and will include the commitment to free social care for those who need it in their own homes. with both the conservatives and labour parties promising more resources for the health service, the lib dems have to be distinctive. they, like the other two parties, say they won't need to put up income tax to fund health care. but other taxes are available. we have identified areas where there is money available which has been spent we believe in the wrong way. for example, the massive tax cut for banks. £4 billion is available if we reverse that. the lib dems claim they're

being more transparent on tax and spending than other parties and today they'll be setting out their political direction of travel. iain watson, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, lib dem manifesto today, more over the next few days, this is the week when we get all of the detail, is it? ., �* , week when we get all of the detail, is it? . �* , g ., week when we get all of the detail, is it? . �*, g ., ., is it? that's right, jon, we are expecting _ is it? that's right, jon, we are expecting the _ is it? that's right, jon, we are expecting the liberal - is it? that's right, jon, we are | expecting the liberal democrat manifesto today to be followed later this week by the conservative manifesto and then the labour manifesto. a big moment for these campaigns, and it's certainly a big moment this week for the conservative campaign because you don't need me to tell you the conservatives have had a difficult few days. we haven't actually seen rishi sunak face questions from journalists since friday's very awkward questioning about his decision which he now says was a mistake to leave the d—day commemorations into nobody early. the conservatives are trying to switch the conversation today to

neighbourhood policing, they have a plan which they say will recruit 8000 neighbourhood police officers, they haven't used that number before, over the course of the next parliament if they win. they say that breaks down to a new police officer for every ward in that breaks down to a new police officerfor every ward in england and wales. they say they would fund this by a 25% increase in viz a viz for people coming to the uk and also —— visa fees, and also foreign students would have to pay more to use the nhs. expect a debate over police numbers, labour have a similar —ish pledge, take 13,000 officers on the beat, conservatives saying only 4000 on new recruits compared to what they would recruit is 8000. let's see how the party debate that today. labour are not talking about police today but about child care, they are talking about using the space freed up in primary schools in england to create at

least 3000 new nurseries for 100,000 children. why is the space there? because of falling birth rates, we have talked before about primary schools having more space that they used to add labour think that is an opportunity to solve some issues with childcare in england. childcare sector representatives broadly welcome this announcement they say the bigger problem remains, funding of the sector generally, and getting people to work in child care settings. that is another debate we will see play out this week as the parties give us much more detail on what they would do after the election. ., ~ , ., , the french president, emmanual macron, has called a snap election after his alliance suffered a big defeat by the hard—right in european union elections. many right—wing parties made gains across the eu last night, but the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, has described the projected results across the continent as a victory for the centre. christian fraser sent this report.

we already know from the exit polls in these 27 countries that there has been an definitive shift to the right. so in austria, the freedom party top of the pile. geert wilders in the netherlands taking seven seats this time around. marine le pen in france, a record 32% of the vote. the afd in germany coming second to the cdu, csu there in germany. but already this election has provided us with some extraordinary news from france where emmanuel macron, whose party slumped to 15% of the vote, called a snap election, parliamentary elections coming last week injune and first week ofjuly. that is an enormous gamble on the back of a pretty humiliating defeat in the european parliamentary elections. so the impact of that shift to the right is still to be worked out i would think in the coming months as the parties arrange themselves in the various groupings.

no question what the story is here, the shift to the right, and a very big backward step for the greens and the centrists. an inquest into the death of the teenager harry dunn is due to begin later. the 19—year—old was killed in a collision outside an american military base at raf croughton five years ago. us citizen anne sacoolas was given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to criminal charges. the inquest is due to last four days. two people remain in critical condition after a funfair ride malfunctioned in south london on saturday. lambeth council said investigations are ongoing. health officials are appealing for blood donors to come forward to boost stocks following a cyber attack which affected a number of london hospitals last week. donors of 0 positive and 0 negative

blood are being asked to urgently book appointments to cover the widest range of patients, after the ransomware attack affected some blood transfusions and tests. benny gantz, a leading opposition figure in israel's war cabinet has resigned, accusing prime minister benjamin netanyahu of making empty promises over the war in gaza. 0ur correspondentjon donnison is in jerusalem. good morning, john. how significant is this resignation by benny gantz? it is significant but it isn't going to bring the government down because by minister benjamin netanyahu still maintains a majority in israel's parliament. but mr gantzjoined the government in the wake of the october the 7th attacked as an act

of unity and it shows there is now no immunity about how the war is being conducted in —— no unity about how the war is being conducted in gaza and the plan of what will happen once the fighting stops. it also removes a relatively moderate voice, a vastly experienced man in the military, and someone who i think had quite a lot of respect with the americans. and it also means that he could be replaced by the more extremist right—wing voices in the government, in particular it and then give ear, —— the security minister who has said that he should replace mr gantz in the war cabinet, and he is someone that is rolling out completely any sort of ceasefire deal with hamas in gaza, and itamar ben gvir says if there is a deal

there, he would resign from the government and that would bring the government and that would bring the government down. so it is a shift to the right for israeli politics. liverpool football club has announced their former captain alan hansen is "seriously ill" in hospital. the 68—year—old was a key figure at anfield for more than a decade. whew, what more do we know this morning? whew, what more do we know this mornin: ? ~ , ., whew, what more do we know this mornin: ? ~ ,, , . ., ., morning? when you picture all of those trophies _ morning? when you picture all of those trophies being _ morning? when you picture all of those trophies being lifted - morning? when you picture all of those trophies being lifted by - morning? when you picture all of those trophies being lifted by thej those trophies being lifted by the hugely successful liverpool team in the 70s and 80s, you can see alan hansen being one of those to do it, in his 14 years at anfield he did win eight european titles, two fa cups, three league cups playing before retiring in 1981. he also appeared in the world cup for scotland in 82. as a defender out of his time, liverpool talked about the legendary former skipper as being

elegant, far cry from the bruising reputation most centre backs would have had in the 1980s. for many the picture of an answer that picks into your mind is him sat next to gary lineker or des lynam, he started working as a pundit soon after retirement. he was in the studio or at matches until 2014. liverpool's statement said the club is currently in contact with alan's family to provide support at a difficult time and their thoughts, wishes and hopes are with alan and all of the family. he is a true great of the game and the coverage of it.— he is a true great of the game and the coverage of it. thank you, hugh. 17 minutes past _ the coverage of it. thank you, hugh. 17 minutes past six, _ the coverage of it. thank you, hugh. 17 minutes past six, great _ the coverage of it. thank you, hugh. 17 minutes past six, great to - the coverage of it. thank you, hugh. 17 minutes past six, great to have i 17 minutes past six, great to have you with us as we start the week on breakfast. it wasn't glorious this morning, but i think matt has a beautiful picture to show us this morning. good morning. ithought good morning. i thought we needed a

lift this monday morning, especially if you have been caught in the rain recently like sally. there is some sunshine coming up here in the isle of man, and west is best for the sunshine. even here there will be a cold wind blowing, scattering of showers around and most places will see a story of sunshine and showers. we begin with some heavy and persistent rain. the radar chart, showers across scotland and northern ireland, there is a kernel of blue where the persistent rain is. easy way from north—west england, it is a wet rush hour across the midlands, yorkshire, lincolnshire, strong winds across east anglia, norfolk and suffolk, and showers for a time across the south. they will ease and that there will be more rain through the morning. then sunshine and showers for many, western areas and some in the south coast will be dry after morning showers but across scotland more cloud than sunshine

between the downpours and the wind. even this afternoon a brisk northerly one, adding to the chill. temperatures feeling around five or 6 degrees lower than you would expect for this stage injune. no sign of any summer warmth and none to come tonight. showers across eastern areas and north wales, north west midlands and england as well. clear skies in southern scotland, the lowest temperatures, a touch of frost in sheltered valleys. even beyond that, jon and sally, no sign of summer warmth. we will have below average temperatures choose it wednesday and persistent rain thursday and friday. what is going on, matt? thank you. sort it out!

that this could be a fake account. john had issues with easyjet after he was not allowed to board the flight, he contacted the company via x and when he got a response, the alarm bells were ringing. i started to receive different tweets from different people who purported to be easyjet supervisors and it didn't look correct, because the photographs to me didn't look like they were naturally people who were working for easyjet. so i was very suspicious to that. and then after that, they then contacted me in order to try and get me to link into an app where they wanted to say they could give me all my money back which made me even more suspicious. if you are feeling a bit stressed, it is easy to miss those errors. and a common tactic that they use is for these fake accounts to ask for your phone number, flight details or other personal information. they might even encourage you to click on a link that will attempt to take your personal data. consumer groups say that these scams are cropping up

on airline accounts but it is possible these could be used elsewhere. there's no reason why this type of scam can't be applied across the board to all sorts of industries. we are seeing it more at the moment in airlines purely because of it's that time of year and people are more likely to be booking their holidays and taking flights and it's going to become much more common during the summer months while people are on their summer holidays. but absolutely, we could be seeing it in far more industries, and it's something we really need to be concerned about. airlines have told us that customers should always make sure they are in touch with the authentic account on x. they will normally have a gold tick, and check the spelling, report any fake accounts, and if you have sent any money or account details in error, get in touch with your bank immediately. the bank will then have a look at it. we want to hear from you on this, maybe you have come across a scam of all victim to one,

he so very nearly made it — that's the headline in the mirror, reporting that the tv presenter took the wrong route while out walking in 40 degree heat. and the telegraph carries a photograph of mr mosley, but leads with news from the european elections. the paper said emmanuel macron was trounced by the hard right, prompting the french president to call a snap parliamentary vote. it is not the french president but it is the parliament so it will be very busy for them because they have the olympics coming on. if very busy for them because they have the olympics coming on.— the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn, the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn. do — the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn. do you _ the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn, do you like _ the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn, do you like it _ the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn, do you like it super - the olympics coming on. if you have a lawn, do you like it super neat - a lawn, do you like it super neat with lines, or do you like it to be messy and let it grow? i

the dying wish of a woman, wrongly convicted of theft as part of the post office it scandal has been realised, after she was posthumously cleared of any wrongdoing. carin lorimer, who died two years ago, managed a branch in kilmarnock when she was falsely accused of stealing money. herfamily have been campaigning to clear her name ever since. 0ur scotland correspondent katie hunter reports. what can i say? soulmate, she was just my soulmate, yeah. carin lorimer died in 2022, 13 years after she was convicted of embezzlement. her family found out ten days ago that conviction has now been quashed. amazing, amazing. i think the last time i spoke to you, i said it would mean the world to me, it definitely does. how are your emotions? you've been through so much. up and down, up and down. i'm really, i'm really happy and i'm really sad. ijust, i wish caren could have been here to see it because she'd have been so happy,

she would have been really so happy. caren lorimer ran this post office in kilmarnock. she was convicted in 2009. when she was dying from cancer, she told her family that she wished she'd cleared her name. while grieving, they navigated the legal system to try to quash her conviction. they were due back in court later this week but received good news sooner than expected. just finishing up at work, happened to open my mobile phone. i went straight into my emails and i could see there was an email there from the lawyers. i opened it up and it confirmed it, the judges didn't need the case to be heard, that they had quashed the conviction, and caren's name was clear. first thing i did was call david and he answered the phone and i thought, i don't even think i said hello. i think ijust said, i was like, "that's it, she's clear, she's clear." i think we were both like, goose bumps. shocked.

just ecstatic. but this is bittersweet for caren's family. her daughter laura was 25 when her mum was convicted. she had to plead guilty in order to avoid prison. and she also was sentenced to the maximum number of hours of community service. so that was humiliating for her, going every week serving community service. it wasn't fair, it wasn't right, she'd done nothing wrong. she was broken by it. broken, but like so many others, laura's mum was innocent. it's extremely important for her to be cleared. yeah, it's... i find it most upsetting that she died a convicted criminal. that can't be undone. you know, i'm happy she's exonerated, but she still died

a convicted criminal. i think it's very upsetting and something that my mum hadn't done and she's taken it with her. caren's name would likely have been cleared once blanket legislation passed by the scottish parliament comes into force. but her family had already started the process to quash her conviction through the courts, and they're pleased they did. i think she'd be delighted, yep. she knew all along she'd done nothing wrong, so did we and now it's just the proof. it's like we've made her final wish come true, which is priceless. she'd be so proud of everything we've done for her, everything we've done for her. yeah, yeah, she'll be happy, she'll be happy about the others now.

that was caren's husband david lorimer, ending that report by katie hunter, and a thank you to caren's family for sharing their story. in response the post office said... "we apologise unreservedly to victims of the horizon it scandal and ourfocus remains on supporting the ongoing public inquiry to establish the truth of what happened so those affected can receive the justice and redress they deserve." coming up... it isa it is a celebration of dave's life, thatis it is a celebration of dave's life, that is why we are here, because we are so irritatingly positive all of the time! we'll hear how more than 20,000 motorcyclists have descended on the home turn of the late hairy biker dave myers for dave day, in tribute to the tv chef following his death earlier this year. it will make you smile. a sad loss but the way they have celebrated his

a freedom of information request by bbc london to the home office has found 3,045 accompanied asylum seeking children are currently living in accomodation as they await decisions on their migration status. some of them have waited for over two years. people are essentially trapped in really small rooms for months and years on end. so whole families will live in one hotel room, and we're talking really budget hotels, not fancy hotels. and those families all live day in, day out in these tiny rooms until they finally receive a decision on their asylum claim. two teams of ocean rowers have set off from tower bridge on a 2,000—mile rowing challenge around the entire coast of great britain, and they're both aiming for guinness world records. the crews of six will not only be competing in what has been called one of the world's toughest rowing races, but the rowers will also collaborate with scientists from the university of portsmouth to collect data on microplastics, temperature, noise pollution and biodiversity.

let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, but there are minor delays on the picadilly line. now on to the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. quite an unsettled picture over the next few days. we had some outbreaks of showery rain last night, and for this morning it's still quite cloudy and damp. we will see some sunny spells developing with some showers later. so, still quite cloudy out there for the time being, but as we head through the day, the cloud will thin and break to allow some brighter spells. you can see some scattered showers around, one or two heavy ones and may be the odd rumble of thunder. quite breezy as well, with temperatures reaching 15 to 16 celsius. still some showers for a time this evening, but they'll tend to fade away. it becomes dry overnight with some clearer skies, and it will be a cooler night tonight compared with last night. 0vernight lows of around six to nine celsius. a dry, bright start initially to tuesday, but some showers developing quite widely. wednesday sees some dry weather,

but you can see later on thursday we're going to see some further outbreaks of showery rain arriving in. so still quite unsettled over the next few days. whilst there will be some drier weather at times, some longer spells of rain to end the week, and temperatures around the mid to high teens quite widely. that's your forecast. that's it. head to our website to see what the planned new walking and cycling "curvy bridge" will look like at the royal docks in east london. we'll be back in half an hour. see you then. cat owners in england have to ensure their pets are microchipped from todayis their pets are microchipped from today is a new law comes into force. it applies to all caps at the age of 20 weeks. if you miss today's deadline of getting your pet cat microchipped, you'll have a 21—day grace period. after that you may face a fine of up to £500. it's thought there are around 9 million cats in england,

and leave your house, and you can also get microchip food bowls which means you can control your cat's diet if they need a specific food. it sounds like a great thing, so why would people not have the microchipped? aha, would people not have the microchipped?— would people not have the microchipped? would people not have the microchiued? ., ., , microchipped? a lot of people were not aware of _ microchipped? a lot of people were not aware of the _ microchipped? a lot of people were not aware of the benefits, - microchipped? a lot of people were not aware of the benefits, maybe i not aware of the benefits, maybe they didn't realise how important it was, and a lot of people think, my cat is an indoor cat door doesn't stray very far, but you just never know. it is always good to make sure you have got a microchip in case something were to happen. does it hurt them when _ something were to happen. does it hurt them when they _ something were to happen. does it hurt them when they having - something were to happen. does it hurt them when they having the i hurt them when they having the microchip?— hurt them when they having the microchi - ? , , ., ., microchip? they should have it when the have microchip? they should have it when they have their— microchip? they should have it when they have their annual _ microchip? they should have it when they have their annual vaccine. - microchip? they should have it when they have their annual vaccine. it - they have their annual vaccine. it is a one—off injection on the back of the neck and lasts a whole lifetime, so it isjust of the neck and lasts a whole lifetime, so it is just one thing they have to have and that is it for their whole life. if they have to have and that is it for their whole life.— their whole life. if the cameraman comes back. _ their whole life. if the cameraman comes back. i _ their whole life. if the cameraman comes back, i can _ their whole life. if the cameraman comes back, i can show— their whole life. if the cameraman comes back, i can show you - their whole life. if the cameraman comes back, i can show you one i their whole life. if the cameraman | comes back, i can show you one of the chipsjust like comes back, i can show you one of the chips just like that. they are only very small, just under the skin, one quick injection. it doesn't bother the cat at all. once it is in the skin, they don't know it is in the skin, they don't know it is in the skin, they don't know it is there, so it is a really quick

and simple procedure to have. and and simple procedure to have. and that sta s and simple procedure to have. and that stays with _ and simple procedure to have. and that stays with the cat for life, but if you move house, you have to go to the database and register, and you have to change your details if you have to change your details if you move? it you have to change your details if you move?— you move? it is the owner's responsibility _ you move? it is the owner's responsibility to _ you move? it is the owner's responsibility to make - you move? it is the owner's responsibility to make sure | you move? it is the owner's i responsibility to make sure the microchip details are up—to—date, so if an owner is not sure what details are on there or what the caps number is, make an appointment with your vet and the vet can scan it and find that out for you.— find that out for you. thank you very much. _ find that out for you. thank you very much. and _ find that out for you. thank you very much, and thank— find that out for you. thank you very much, and thank you i find that out for you. thank you very much, and thank you to i find that out for you. thank you i very much, and thank you to hastings for being so patient. so make sure your cat is microchipped. we have been warned, thank you very much indeed. jon, are you going to say it, or am much indeed. jon, are you going to say it, oram i? hue is. you like much indeed. jon, are you going to say it, or am i? hue is. you like if i give you good stuff, you use it. he was calling at the battle of hastings as the cat was being forced into and out of its cage. we built

it up to be a good line. i'm sure hastings is fine. to the sport now. we begin with the news that the former scotland and liverpool defender alan hansen is seriously ill in hospital, his former club have confirmed yesterday. he was one of those players who became a pundit, therefore straddling two generations of football fans who watched him play and football fans who watched on the television. those of our generation will remember him doing but most watching and imagine him in suit sat next des lynam or gary lineker saying things like, you never win anything with kids, his most famous line was the one that turned out to be wrong, but it was because it was an exception. he was able to deliver his analysis in a way that made it so accessible for people, particularly at the dawn of an era when more people were watching football on television and more people wanted a way into the game, and alan hansen for so long was that guy who did that because of his

expertise that he built up as a player. so yes, really worrying that alan hansen seriously ill in hospital. the 68—year—old was a key part of the great liverpool teams of the late 1970s and then throughout the 1980s. after retiring in 1991, he appeared as a pundit on match of the day until 2014. liverpool released a statement yesterday saying "the club is currently in contact with alan's family to provide our support at this difficult time, and our thoughts, wishes and hopes are with alan and all of the hansen family". former team—matejohn aldridge, chairman of the former players�* association forever reds, said on x: "all our thoughts as ex—lfc players are with alan hansen and his family. let's hope he can pull through his illness. you will never walk alone." hansen's former match of the day colleague gary lineker wrote on x: "horrendous news. thoughts are with alan, janet and all the family." scotland are in a good position to make the last eight of the t20 world cup.

after winning for the second time in their group stage campaign. they eased to victory against 0man by seven wickets to put them in to a strong position in group b — which also contains england. the scots remain unbeaten in the tournament so far and will face australia in theirfinal group match next. meanwhile, india staged a superb bowling effort to beat fierce rivals pakistan. pakistan looked to be cruising to their target of 120 before falling six runs short. it's their second successive defeat in the tournament after losing to the co—hosts usa last week. wales were beaten 4—0 by slovakia in a friendly last night despite manager rob page making seven changes after their draw against gibraltar. the manager had been booed by some wales fans after last thursday's goalless draw in portugal, and he faced further chants yesterday calling for him to be sacked. this was the end to a disappointing season for wales, whose failure to qualify for euro 2024 had already prompted criticism for page.

"i used to watch on tv, now i'm holding the trophy." the words of carlos alcaraz after he won the men's french open singles title yesterday — edging a five—set final against germany's alexander zverev. clay was the surface which alcaraz grew up, playing on in his hometown in spain and the french open was the event he dreamt of winning. the 21—year—old has become the youngest man to win grand slam titles on all three surfaces — he won the us open in 2022 and last year's wimbledon. he headed straight up into the stands and saved his biggest hug for his parents. normal service resumed for formula one championship leader max vertsappen as he won a rain affected canadian grand prix. the world champion could only manage sixth at the monaco grand prix a fortnight ago. he missed out on pole to george russell at montreal, but the changeable conditions saw two safety cars and the dutchman was able to get ahead during pit stops. in a thrilling battle behind him lando norris claimed second ahead of fellow briton russell who finished on the podium for the first time this season.

the safety car had to me over, and just like it helped me in miami, it now had me back over. honestly i thought it was a pretty perfect race from my side, just a bit unlucky, but that is what it is. these conditions are so stressful inside the car, but very enjoyable at the same time. it felt like a missed opportunity. _ time. it felt like a missed opportunity. to _ time. it felt like a missed opportunity, to be - time. it felt like a missed | opportunity, to be honest. time. it felt like a missed _ opportunity, to be honest. obviously lando _ opportunity, to be honest. obviously lando came — opportunity, to be honest. obviously lando came through really fast and we went_ lando came through really fast and we went back onto the slicks and made _ we went back onto the slicks and made a _ we went back onto the slicks and made a couple of mistakes out there. we paid _ made a couple of mistakes out there. we paid the _ made a couple of mistakes out there. we paid the price for it, never let up, we — we paid the price for it, never let up. we truly— we paid the price for it, never let up, we truly had a fast car this weekend — up, we truly had a fast car this weekend it— up, we truly had a fast car this weekend it will be back in the mix fighting _ weekend it will be back in the mix fighting for victory. that is what formula — fighting for victory. that is what formula 1— fighting for victory. that is what formula! is about, and that is why we go _ formula! is about, and that is why we go racing. dina asher—smith won 100 metres gold at the european athletics championships as her british team—mates georgia bell and lizzie bird achieved silver medals in rome. asher—smith took victory in 10.99 seconds to celebrate her first major international medal since winning

european 200 metres silver in 2022. despite an even field early on she put in a big finish to take the title ahead of this summer's paris olympics. i'v e i've been working really hard on my top end speed, and i was really happy after not the best start to be able to work it back. that is something we have worked really hard on. but yes, that was a bit hairy. just a little bit! but we made it. the mens rugby premiership is over — northampton saints beat bath to secure the title over the weekend — but the women's crown is still up for grabs. defending champions gloucester—hartpury thrashed fourth placed exeter chiefs 50—19 to reach the premiership women's final. winger pip hendy scored the pick of the cherry and whites eight tries at kingsholm. they'll meet bristol bears in the final at sandy park in a fortnight after they beat saracens 29—21. they had to come back from trailing by nine points at half time to reach the premiership women's final for the first time.

with the tour de france three weeks away, primoz roglic has showed his yellowjersey credentials by winning the criterium du dauphine with a gutsy ride on the final day. matteojorgenson, who was in second place overall, had got ahead of him on stage 8 and finished second on the day, meaning roglic had to finish within 56 seconds of the american. he dug deep and made it across the line with eight seconds to spare. finally, there are benchmarks that you reach before each and every football tournament. the teams are starting to arrive in germany for the euros, and scotland did so with a p9p the euros, and scotland did so with a pep in their step. steve clarke's squad were handed quite the reception while midfielder john mcginn endeared himself to the locals byjoining in with some traditional bavarian dancing. i'm sure he knew it was traditional bavarian dancing when he was doing it, and they start euro 24 with

their opening game against germany. that is on friday night, of course, and i still don't think the germans will supportjohn mcginn even though he tried that. i think he hasjust i think he has just won i think he hasjust won euro i think he has just won euro 2024! no one is going to do better than that. thank you very much indeed. scientists have a new way to help them protect woodland and stop diseases from spreading — and they say it's like a giant vacuum cleaner. scientists hope it could eventually made a big difference to crop production, as laura foster explains. thetford forest is brimming with life, a patchwork of pine and broadleaf trees and heathland. but this lot and the devices they're carrying are taking a much closer look at things. so, this is our air sampler. the process is called air sampling. and it has effectively a really big hoover. so it's going to suck in air,

it's going to suck 200 litr3s of air a minute. so over an hour, that's thousands of litres of air. so as the air goes through the filter, anything in the air, like bits of bacteria, like skin cells, maybe a bit of pollen, that will get stuck onto the filter so we can then look at the dna later on in the lab. air sampling is about analyzing all the different kinds of life you find in an area, so its biodiversity and it will detect plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. so the things you can see, but also those things you really can't see with the naked eye, no matter how hard you look for them. if we know what fungi and what bacteria or diseases are in the air at that moment, then we can better understand how we can treat the plants or any crops nearby so we can prevent the infection from happening. and it can also help us to understand what species might be under threat in the future. norfolk was chosen as the best place for these devices because it's got

a bit of everything. a city, a coast, farmland, forest and more. so we're going to pull that off. the dna that's collected by these machines, which, just for fun, are named after characters from pride and prejudice, is extracted and sequenced in the labs just outside of norwich. each one of these discs contains millions of cells which help scientists work out the best ways to protect our environment, but could also mean we save money on our food shops. if we can inform a farmer that there's a pathogen in the air, he can take a more targeted approach when it comes to spraying. so typically they might spray a cocktail of different chemicals. if he only had to spray one, he'll save money. and then if the pathogen is not there at all, he won't have to spray at all, again, saving money. if he can save money, then that can be passed on and the customer will get a cheaper product. samples are going to be taken every season, but we won't know the full results until this time next year. laura foster, bbc news, thetford.

it sounds beautiful, and looks beautiful. there is a lot of vacuuming to be done in that forest! there is already enough vacuuming in the world, we don't need more. matt has got the weather for us, and it doesn't feel like summer is properly starting, does it? there is enough vacuuming to be done in the world as it is! overall there will be some sunshine around at times, a fair scattering of showers, but we will get more persistent rain arriving on our shores. we have northerly winds to begin the week, bringing in the air all the way down from the arctic. without it, and you certainly haven't got it this morning, wrapped around this weather system which is moving across parts of england and wales. the most persistent rain is across parts of the midlands towards the south of

yorkshire, and across lincolnshire, strong winds across east anglia too and pushing on, so morning showers across the south were gradually come through, and the rain will continue to make its way eastwards, sunshine and showers for many into the afternoon. some western areas avoiding the worst of the showers, a cool breeze right into the afternoon, and in scotland they will be a bit more cloud and sunshine between the downpours later. temperatures in the afternoon 12 to around 16 for the vast majority, 18 in the sunny spots of the south—west, but still for many a good 6 degrees below average. the rain clears away through tonight, and showers ease for some. across central scotland with some clearer skies, this is where the lowest of the temperatures will be. it could be another night where somewhere in the uk sees a touch of frost. a bright enough start for many, showers into wales and the north

west midlands, those will be mainly across central and eastern parts on tuesday, fewer showers compared with today across the west, but if anything temperatures will be down a shade on today's values and it will still feel colder. chilly night will follow to take us into wednesday, the driest, brightest days of the week, mornings and evenings looking sunny, and there willjust be one or two showers around and temperatures well and truly suppressed. a few changes through wednesday into thursday, and we start to see this area of low pressure push its way in. it is going to change the wind direction, so the good news is it will lift temperatures just a bit. we start with sunshine on thursday, but rain will move in across ireland, wales, south—west england and into the afternoon, and through thursday night and into friday, that will sweep its way northwards and eastwards, so friday looking a bit 5°99y eastwards, so friday looking a bit soggy across scotland and sunshine and heavy and thundery showers across wales and northern ireland.

you are not selling it, matt! you are really not selling it. i'm trying my best. full stall left by the end of the day at the market! luckily there was sunshine over the weekend. more than 20,000 bikers completed a mammoth ride from london to cumbria this weekend in memory of the tv chef dave myers, who died of cancer in february. the procession made its way to dave's home town of barrow after setting off from a famous biker hang—out, the ace cafe in north west london on saturday morning. it eventually arrived in barrow—in—furness, raising thousands of pounds for charity on the way. our reporterjayne mccubbin was following the full weekend's celebrations. this one's for you, dave. it was one day with one name and more than 20,000 bikers all heading to one town. it's a celebration of my best friend that we've lost.

and yeah, it is, it's very emotional. it is a celebration of dave's life. that's why we're here, because he was so irritatingly positive all of the time. and we love him. this was dave day as it arrived in the hometown of hairy biker dave meyers. and barrow welcomed bikers and dave's widow, lili, with open arms. he would have been chuffed to bits, to use his words. chuffed to bits. thank you so much. it's absolutely overwhelming. unbelievable. go on, barrow—in—furness! it had started early saturday morning in london, and just before 8am, bikers gathered at the ace cafe, ready to set off. it's dave day. we're here to celebrate such a beautiful human| who we've sadly lost, _

and us bikers have got together and we're going to have a dave day. have you got a tear in your eye? oh, yes, it's well emotional, isn't it? it's superb. great cause. i've never seen anything like it. i was only passing, and ijust had to stop and it was just gobsmacking. absolutely brilliant. at times, the motorcade was 16 miles long. we were looking this morning, and there's probably about 22,000 bikers on the way. it's going to be mayhem later on, i think. waiting for them in barrow, there were dedications in supermarkets. back gardens were thrown open to bikers without accommodation. come and join us. let them stay in my huge garden. the hype and everything has been fantastic. i mean, we love dave. when you see him or talk to him, you smile.

because that's what he was like. he was a fantastic person. there were rumours there could have been as many as 46,000 bikers during the memorial drive. what a remarkable reception. just mind—blowing. all of the over bridges, all the way from london up to barrow—in—furness, people waving and showing kindness and courtesy, and, oh... it was just superb. it's just people lining the streets cheering. i was absolutely crying. i mean, i'm so emotional over it. it was amazing. all the way, motorway bridges are crammed with people. and as we were coming in through the the towns and villages leading into barrow, just streets were lined, and it was just amazing. and behind it all, one man whose positivity shone through, even in his final months. hip—hip! all: hooray!

thank you, barrow! he taught me so many things. tojust live every moment to the fullest. don't let anything bring you down. we had so many adventures together, and that was fueled by his creativity, fueled by his energy. and this is the spirit of dave day. a day many wish could become an annual event. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. and they had the sunshine, which is brilliant. and we'll be speaking to dave's best friend and fellow hairy biker si king at around half past eight to chat about the amazing event. i think it could become an annual eventin i think it could become an annual event in some form. the numbers are definitely there. headlines coming up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london,

i'm victoria hollins. there's an appeal for blood donors to come forwards to boost stocks following the cyber attack on some london hospitals last week. a critical incident was declared on tuesday after the ransomware attack targeted the services provided by pathology firm synnovis. it's led to operations being cancelled and emergency patients being diverted. a woman has life—threatening injuries after a funfair ride malfunctioned at a country show in south london on saturday night. four people were injured in the incident which happened during lambeth country show in brockwell park. lambeth council says it is investigating to "determine the cause of the malfunction". over 3000 asylum seeking children are living in hotels in london. a freedom of information request by bbc london to the home office has found 3,045 accompanied asylum seeking children are currently

living in accomodation as they await decisions on their migration status. some of them have waited for over two years. people are essentially trapped in really small rooms for months and years on end. so whole families will live in one hotel room, and we're talking really budget hotels, not fancy hotels. and those families all live day in, day out in these tiny rooms until they finally receive a decision on their asylum claim. the conservative party said on behalf of the home office, in response to the findings, that it had a clear plan in place to "stop the boats". labour said it would hire more than 1,000 new caseworkers to speed up asylum claims while the liberal democrats said they would establish a new dedicated asylum unit. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning but there are minor delays on the piccadilly line.

they have actually cleared up! now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. quite an unsettled picture over the next few days. we had some outbreaks of showery rain last night, and for this morning it's still quite cloudy and damp. we will see some sunny spells developing with some showers later. so, still quite cloudy out there for the time being, but as we head through the day, the cloud will thin and break to allow some brighter spells. you can see some scattered showers around, one or two heavy ones and may be the odd rumble of thunder. quite breezy as well, with temperatures reaching 15 to 16 celsius. still some showers for a time this evening, but they'll tend to fade away. it becomes dry overnight with some clearer skies, and it will be a cooler night tonight compared with last night. overnight lows of around six to nine celsius. a dry, bright start initially to tuesday, but some showers developing quite widely. wednesday sees some dry weather, but you can see later on thursday we're going to see some further outbreaks of showery rain arriving in. so still quite unsettled over the next few days. whilst there will be some drier weather at times, some longer spells of rain to end the week, and temperatures around the mid to high teens quite widely.

that's your forecast. that's it — head to our website to see what the planned new walking and cycling "curvy bridge" will look like at the royal docks in east london. we'll be back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. tributes to the much—loved television presenter michael mosley after his body is found on a greek island. friends and colleagues describe him as a national treasure. a promise to recruit more gps and improve cancer survival rates. the liberal democrats put the nhs at the heart of their general election manifesto. voters in europe deliver a surge in support for the hard—right. the french president emmanuel macron responds by calling a snap election.

in sport, former liverpool and scotland centre—back alan hansen is seriously ill. his club announced yesterday their former captain and three—time european cup winner is currently in hospital. there is no sign of some of this week, today begins pretty wet and windy in wales. —— there is no sign of summer. showers through the week, i will have all of the details coming up. it's monday, the 10th ofjune. an autopsy of the body of the bbc presenter michael mosley, will take place at a hospital in rhodes later. dr mosley disappeared whilst walking in extreme heat on the greek island of symi last wednesday, his body was later recovered on a remote hillside following a four day search. from symi, our correspondent joe inwood reports. it was here on a rocky hillside that

michael mosley was found. he was just metres from safety when he was seemingly overcome by the heat and collapsed. the people of this island and the greek authorities had done everything they could. despite that, he was not found for nearly four days. it was on that beach of agia marina that the body, which has now been identified as michael mosley, was found. he was found lying just to the right side of that fence you can see over there so really close to where people would have been relaxing and playing on this popular and busy beach. we spoke to a police source who said that the body of michael mosley had been there for a number of days. it was a tragic end to a story that had begun on wednesday when michael mosley left the beach where he'd been with his wife clare atabout1.30pm. he was then picked up on a camera at a coffee shop here, a second one at a restaurant here, and then finally on one at a marina before he walked out of town,

heading towards agia marina. but despite an extensive search and rescue operation involving police, fire, helicopters, dogs, even members of the public, in the end, he was found by accident. it emerged a greek television crew were filming with the mayor and only noticed the body in their shot when they got back to edit their pictures. translation: when we returned here in symi and the footage i was being prepared to send to athens, we spotted the body of a man. we informed the mayor and so the coastguard was immediately mobilized with the doctors. michael mosley�*s death was confirmed by his wife, clare. she said...

a medical team carefully moved michael mosley to a waiting coastguard boat then to rhodes for a postmortem. there has been a genuine sense of shock, of sadness on this quiet island over the disappearance and death of michael mosley, a man most had never met. imagine then, the pain of those who knew and loved him. joe joins us live now from symi. morning, joe. as you said, the people on the island might not have heard of michael mosley but there has been really incredible reaction to his death. has been really incredible reaction to his death-— to his death. yeah, there has. it wasn'tjust _ to his death. yeah, there has. it wasn't just the _ to his death. yeah, there has. it wasn't just the emergency i to his death. yeah, there has. it i wasn'tjust the emergency services wasn't just the emergency services of the tiny greek island and the surrounding islands, and athens, that came to look for michael mosley, but the people of symi as well. when we were looking on the hills in the last few days, we have been here since thursday, you could

see british holiday—makers looking for him at all and also ordinary people, not in high vizjackets, but they came from neighbouring towns because they wanted to help find michael mosley. it's unlikely they would have realised at first that the man they were looking for was such a well—known figure especially in the uk but elsewhere in the uk as well, people were motivated by desire to find theyjustice thought was a missing tourist. there was a big search and rescue operation but as people have learned more about him and seen the reaction to his disappearance and now his death, they have realised that this was someone that was very, very well loved. his programmes in the uk, i'm sure most of us have seen them or had his radio broadcast, had a charm and wit, a real knack of explaining something that was complicated to try to explain how our bodies or minds work, and improve them. as

people have realised and seen that, and they have seen the infection with which he is held, its created a real sense of sadness here. there is a sense of sadness as well when someone is lost in your community. it is a beautiful island, and i think they have taken pride, they have really done their best to try and help but obviously in the end it was impossible to save michael mosley. new footage has emerged which shows his last moments, it seems that there was nothing that could have been done, despite the best efforts of this island.- best efforts of this island. thank ou, joe. best efforts of this island. thank you. joe- this— best efforts of this island. thank you, joe. this hour, _ best efforts of this island. thank you, joe. this hour, we - best efforts of this island. thank you, joe. this hour, we will i best efforts of this island. thank you, joe. this hour, we will be i you, joe. this hour, we will be paying tribute to michael mosley with one of his former colleagues. but more of the day's news now with jon. the liberal democrats will pledge to rescue the health service when they launch their election manifesto later. if elected, the party has promised it would boost spending on health and social care, recruit thousands more gps

and end what they describe as "dental deserts." our political correspondent iain watson reports. the lib dems have been floating some ideas for reforming the health service for some time. but now their leader, sir ed davey, really wants to make a splash by putting what he calls a rescue package for the nhs at the heart of the party's manifesto. he says the nhs is in crisis in england. he's proposing a multi—billion pound cash injection over the next four years. he says this would give everyone the right to see a gp within seven days or within 24 hours if urgent, guarantee access to an nhs dentist for everyone needing urgent and emergency care, and improve early access to mental health services. sir ed davey has also been banging the drum for social care, often the junior partner in the health system. his manifesto will devote a whole chapter to it and will include the commitment to free social care

for those who need it in their own homes. with both the conservatives and labour parties promising more resources for the health service, the lib dems have to be distinctive. they, like the other two parties, say they won't need to put up income tax to fund health care. but other taxes are available. we have identified areas where there is money available which has been spent we believe in the wrong way. for example, the massive tax cut for banks. £4 billion is available if we reverse that. the lib dems claim they're being more transparent on tax and spending than other parties and today they'll be setting out their political direction of travel. iain watson, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. we have got the lib dems manifested today but then they are going to be like buses, one after another. gill like buses, one after another. all of them like buses, one after another. fill of them this week, jon, it's very exciting at least for me! and what you will also see as the lib dems unveil their manifesto today is the

conservatives and labour are rolling the pitch for their own manifestos with a few more tantalising pledges before we get the whole picture. in the conservative case, after, you don't need me to tell you it has been a difficult few days for their campaign off to what rishi sunak acknowledges was indeed a mistake, you will hear the conservative party and rishi sunak talking about police. they say they would recruit an extra 8000 police officers working in the community over the next parliament if they are re—elected. they say that would mean a new police officer for every ward in england and wales. you can expect to see some argy—bargy with labour over the numbers because labour say that they would put 13,000 officers back on the beat but the conservatives say that is an empty pledge because only 3000 would be new full—time recruits. they say all of their 8000 would be new recruits funded by a 25% increase in these

fees for people coming to the country. labourfor fees for people coming to the country. labour for their part want to talk about childcare, both parties focused on this in the last two years because they recognise there is a real problem is the child care and how the system works. labour say they want to use space freed up by primary school buildings for various reasons but principally the falling birth rate to create 3000 nurseries for 100,000 children in england. they estimate this would cost about £40,000 for each nursery but that will be funded by their policy of putting a levy on vat on private school fields. —— private school fees. the earliest sector has welcomed this but say there is still a staffing crisis, the struggle to get staff to work in nurseries never mind if you have the places and where those places are. even before we have the manifestos before the parties release them, we are getting to the meaty phase of the general

election when it comes to policy. thank you, henry. liverpool football club has announced their former captain alan hansen is "seriously ill" in hospital. he made 600 appearances for the club and appeared as a pundit for many years for much of the day. the french president, emmanual macron, has called a snap election after his alliance suffered a big defeat by the hard—right in european union elections. our europe correspondent nick beake joins us from brussels. what do these results tell us not just in france but right across the eu? ,., ., just in france but right across the eu? ., i- , just in france but right across the eu? ., __ eu? good morning, jon, they say it is a really resounding _ eu? good morning, jon, they say it is a really resounding victory i eu? good morning, jon, they say it is a really resounding victory for. is a really resounding victory for the far right into france specifically. you had the party of marine le pen, the national rally, picking double the number of votes

of president macron's centrist party. the extent meant that resident macron went to tell the french people there would be a general election in three weeks, when the first round of voting would take place. he said in his characteristic language is to say to be french is to write history, not be french is to write history, not be governed by it. the truth of the matter is that he could be making an historic monumental error here. depending on what happens. the big question is, will the far right in france replicate their success in the elections we have just had for this place, the european parliament, will they replicate that on the national level? will they be able to form a government? if they do, you will have the prospect of france hosting the olympic games later this summer with the first hard right government since the second world war when france collaborated with nazi january. —— nazi germany. so it

looks to play for. elsewhere across europe, there were games for the far right but not to the level that some had predicted. in the netherlands and belgium, the far right parties there came second, they did not score outright victories. and elsewhere, there was some successful centre—right parties, i am thinking about places like spain and hungary, at the end of the day because these were the elections for the european parliament, the centre—right coalition will basically hang onto their position in power and ursula von der leyen, the european commission president, will hold her job the next five years, it looks like. . ~' job the next five years, it looks like. ., ~ i. ., job the next five years, it looks like. ., ~ ., , ., an inquest into the death of the teenager harry dunn is due to begin later. the 19—year—old was killed in a collision outside an american military base at raf croughton five years ago. us citizen anne sacoolas was given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to criminal charges. the inquest is due

in west wales but not a pretty view in west wales but not a pretty view in reigate in surrey. some of the wettest weather can be found here this morning. we have got showers scattered around scotland, one or two in northern ireland, but this curl of blue is causing some issues. brightening up on the south coast but heavy rain spreading through the middle and through the rush—hour and eastern anglia, windas will strengthen, you could see 50 miles an hour in norfolk and suffolk. rain persists into the afternoon before clearing, it is a story of sunshine and leading showers, enough of a breeze to blow them across the sky quickly. the best of the sunshine across the west, scotland less sunshine and more cloud between showers. a cold northerly wind will keep temperatures below average for some of you, the highest

temperatures in sheltered parts of south wales and south—west england. this evening and overnight, showers keep going across eastern areas and northern scotland under some clip northern ireland into north wales, northern ireland into north wales, north west midlands and the liverpool bay area, keeping temperatures appear. clear skies, shelter and southern scotland could see temperatures low enough for the touch of frost. a chilly start to tuesday, fewer showers compared to today. fewerstill on tuesday, fewer showers compared to today. fewer still on wednesday but more in the way of persistent rain later in the week and it stays disappointingly cool. thank you, matt. the pressure on public services is a key election issue and in an effort to understand the challenges they're under, we've been exploring some of the issues within specific sectors from education, to social care. this morning we're focussing on criminaljustice. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has been to telford, which currently has some of the longest court delays in england.

in 2019, ryan bailey was charged with possession of an imitation firearm and handling stolen goods. he pleaded not guilty. england's struggling criminal justice system then took over. so i've had two children since i was charged with it in 2019, i've had two children since then. his case was listed for trial on three separate occasions. if convicted, he was facing up to five years in prison. i've been prepared, spoke to all my kids just in case i had to get sent down or whatever. i've been prepared a few times now, and it's just got put back and kept getting put back. barristers have failed to turn up forsome, and, like, my co—defendant�*s solicitor, they failed to turn up so they couldn't go ahead with the trial. witnesses have failed to turn up. in april, five years after he was charged, the case against ryan was dropped after the witnesses failed to turn up. it's all over now, yeah. is that a relief? yeah, a big relief. i'm glad. start moving on with my life now. yeah.

nothing hanging over me. over several days in this temporary crown court, the multiple problems in england's criminal justice system became clear to me. all rise. one trial stretched back to 2019, so witnesses often say they couldn't remember the details. you may be seated. the court in telford was officially listed as part of shrewsbury crown court, leading to people going to the wrong town for their cases. when a prosecuting barristerfailed to appear in one case, another barrister agreed to step in, but told the judge, i literally have no idea what this case is about. justice in this area at the moment is scandalous. there is no swiftjustice at all. i don't believe there's enoughjudges. there's enough courtrooms. i think a lot of the magistrates�* courts were being closed for a number of years. there's a lot of people leaving the profession. they will not stay. the pressure's too high, and its cost cutting, in my opinion. the west mercia area, which covers telford, has some of the longest court

delays in england. it takes over 17 months for a case to go through the courts, seven months longer than before the pandemic. adding to the problems, the roof on the courthouse in hereford collapsed four years ago. cases that should be tried here now have to be heard across west mercia. this charity provides support to victims of rape and sexual assault. they say such cases usually take between four and five years to get to court, which leads to some survivors dropping the charges. it's notjust the mental preparation. it's also childcare, taking time off, work, transport, all these other things. and then to have to go through that once and then literally at the last minute, you're getting told, no, it's not going ahead now. it's going to be adjourned for another year or so. they feel like, well, i, i haven't got enough in me to actually keep going for that. we were waiting for a long time for the original court case. i emma, not her real name, reported an allegation of sexual abuse in 2019.

in 2023, the case went to court, but it was adjourned on the first day after a scheduling error meant the judge wasn't available to hear the entire case. awful. ican't... i can't even explain how... how many emotions you're dealing with at that time, i and the realisation that you're you're potentially going to i profoundly impact somebody's life. iand then for that just to be takenl away without even any explanation, no clear communication. it was horrendous. emma's case has been rescheduled for next year, six years after she reported the assault. the ministry ofjustice say that the number of sitting days at crown court in england hit a record high last year. but in telford, as elsewhere, it's too often a case ofjustice denied due to justice delayed. michael buchanan, bbc news, telford. and tonight there'll be the first in a series of panorama interviews with party leaders. nick robinson will be speaking

to the prime minister. nickjoins us now. good morning, nick. so what can we, what do you expect?— what do you expect? hello, sally, jon. i what do you expect? hello, sally, jon- i was — what do you expect? hello, sally, jon. i was listening _ what do you expect? hello, sally, jon. i was listening to _ what do you expect? hello, sally, jon. i was listening to the - what do you expect? hello, sally, j jon. i was listening to the weather a few minutes ago and it made me think that pretty much ever since rishi sunak walked out of the door of number 10, rishi sunak walked out of the door of number10, to rishi sunak walked out of the door of number 10, to call that election, it must feel to him like it is still raining, it has been raining ever since. what really matters for us, for those of us who have the privilege of having a vote to choose who has power over us, what really matters is what they are going to do our lives, what they are going to do about the issues that people are writing to breakfast and the bbc to show they care about. tonight you get half an hour, one—on—one, no autocue, nobody else in the room, no notes from advisers, no mobile phones, to really go to those issues and say, what are you going to do for us when we put you back —— if we

put you back to downing street? we have had a lot of focus on the debates in the last week where they go head—to—head and argue with one another, a one—to—one interview with you, what extra light can that bring that the debates may be do not have so much? the that the debates may be do not have so much? , ., so much? the debate bring he, what the brim so much? the debate bring he, what they bring is — so much? the debate bring he, what they bring is the _ so much? the debate bring he, what they bring is the contrast, _ so much? the debate bring he, what they bring is the contrast, -- - so much? the debate bring he, what they bring is the contrast, -- and i they bring is the contrast, —— and they bring is the contrast, —— and the debates bring heat. but the answers are short and it feels like they are in a boxing ring. hopefully in an interview there is light. there is an opportunity but there is no hiding place. you know, jon, sally, why don't these guys answer the question? over half an hour, there is a chance for me with the prime minister, and keir starmer later in the campaign, with all the leaders of seven political parties, to say, come on, answer the question. people watching what answers to the questions. we should also be grateful they do it. that does sound odd because we give politicians a hard time but there

are plenty of countries in which people who want to lead to the people who want to lead to the people do not go into television studios or take the risk of facing half an hour of tough questioning. i grew up as a kid, the grandson of refugees from nazi germany, and they talked of how politics of extremes thrived because people do not answer questions and are not challenged. they fled to communist china, they found that happened again. politics matters in the end. we might laugh at it and shout at the tv or scream at it and shout at the tv or scream at the radio, it matters. these guys are taking decisions about our lives, we get this enormous privilege of choosing who represents us, and it is worth, i hope, halfan hour of ourtime to us, and it is worth, i hope, halfan hour of our time to say, hey, what would that guy do if we let him back into power?— would that guy do if we let him back into ower? ., , , , ., into power? nicky comyn the best of luck, we into power? nicky comyn the best of luck. we will — into power? nicky comyn the best of luck, we will be _ into power? nicky comyn the best of luck, we will be watching. _ you can watch nick's interview with the prime minister tonight at eight o'clock here on bbc one and the iplayer.

more interviews to come with the other leaders as nick was saying. the artist ls lowry is best known for his iconic matchstick men paintings depicting the lives and often difficult times of people right here in salford. now nearly 50 years since his death, a series of previously unheard recordings have been found in a manchester attic, featuring him in conversation with a friend. our reporter has been listening. a family treasure trove of archive and artifacts, all relating to ls lowry. she's also got a number of kind of postcards that were signed by him, and obviously she collected quite extensively kind of newspaper cuttings on him. growing up, michael bogg remembers his mother's stories about her meetings with the artist and the book she'd hoped to write. she was really taken by his artwork, so she took a lot of notes and made lots and lots of recordings. in 1967, angela bogg moved to eccles to start work at salford university. she'd spent her lunch breaks admiring lowry�*s work

at the nearby art gallery. with a keen interest in his work, she decided she tried to arrange a meeting with him. when she first asked the director of the art gallery, she kind ofjust said, "oh, i'd quite like to be able to meet him." and obviously then the director of the art gallery went to lowry. and i don't think necessarily my mum was expecting much of it at that time. and then when he said yes, then i think that's maybe where the kind of idea grew. by now, lowry was in his eighties and lived in mottram in longdendale. the idea they were both kind of at different ends of their life and yet they kind of had this mutual connection, i guess, where they could establish this friendship that went on to obviously him being willing to answer questions that were quite in depth. during their meetings at his home, angela made around 20 hours of reel to reel tape recordings. a lot of people rebel against their parents when they're young. did you ever? no, i never did, iwas. a home bird all the time. i never had a girl, i i never was in love. i knew a lot of people and drifted

along and drifted along _ until i drift to now and you're talking to me. _ i've been a drifter, you see. when she went there, she said it was kind of completely cluttered with antiques, big pieces of furniture, clocks, she said the chiming of the clocks was something that's quite striking. don't know what kept me on painting. something did. something kept me on. i don't know what it was. and i kept on, you see? it was paintings by, i think, rossetti, all this collection of things that he had. and it was just kind of all hung higgledy piggledy around his house on the walls. and he sat in there almost like an aladdin's cave, i guess, of antiques and artwork. so i wasn't interested in painting until i was in pendlebury, - this is my mum at the royal academy as mr lowry�*s guest.

the two became good friends. angela accompanied lowry to various events. in 1975, lowry was awarded honorary degrees by the universities of salford and liverpool. the correspondence came to angela and she attended the presentations at his mottram home. ls lowry also gave angela this pencil and ink sketch as a gift. it featured on the antiques roadshow earlier this year. despite transcribing the audio and collating pages of research, family life took over and angela never got round to writing her book. sadly, she died two years ago. the recordings are now being held in storage at the lowry museum. for michael, it's a rare and precious insight not only into the life of ls lowry, but into the life of his mother, angela, who, despite all she collated, never realised her ambition to write her book about the artist she so admired.

incredible story. that friendship, that is like _ incredible story. that friendship, that is like a _ incredible story. that friendship, that is like a movie _ incredible story. that friendship, that is like a movie in _ incredible story. that friendship, that is like a movie in the - incredible story. that friendship, l that is like a movie in the making. she was asking the right questions as well. , . . she was asking the right questions as well. , ., ., ., , as well. great interview. that was fascinating- _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victorian hollins. there's an appeal for blood donors to come forwards to boost stocks following the cyber attack on some london hospitals last week. a critical incident was declared on tuesday after the ransomware attack targeted the services provided by pathology firm synnovis. it's led to operations being cancelled and emergency patients being diverted. a woman has life—threatening injuries after a funfair ride malfunctioned at the lambeth country show in south london on saturday night. four people were injured in the incident in brockwell park. lambeth council says it is investigating to "determine the cause of the malfunction".

a young barristerfrom greenford in west london has gone against all odds to win the prestigious young pro—bono barrister of the year award. tinessa kaur who was homeless at the age of 17 used her support network of the sikhs to get her off the streets and into the classroom. her faith's key teaching of selfless service inspired her to give up her free time to offer her services as a barrister in training to help underserved communities. breaking barriers and making that change, and i think if people like me don't come along and try to show people that actually, yes, i am an ethnic woman and i can break the barriers, this is the work that we do, and if i can pave the way for others, then that's what i will do. two teams of ocean rowers have set off from tower bridge on a 2,000 mile rowing challenge around the entire coast of great britain,

the crews of six will not only be competing in what has been called one of the worlds toughest rowing races but the rowers will also collaborate with scientists from the university of portsmouth to collect data on environmental issues. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning but there are minor now on to the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. quite an unsettled picture over the next few days. we had some outbreaks of showery rain last night, and for this morning it's still quite cloudy and damp. we will see some sunny spells developing with some showers later. so, still quite cloudy out there for the time being, but as we head through the day, the cloud will thin and break to allow some brighter spells. you can see some scattered showers around, one or two heavy ones and may be the odd rumble of thunder. quite breezy as well, with temperatures reaching 15 to 16 celsius. still some showers for a time this evening, but they'll tend to fade away. it becomes dry overnight with some clearer skies, and it will be a cooler night tonight compared with last night. overnight lows of around six to nine celsius. a dry, bright start initially to tuesday, but some showers developing quite widely.

wednesday sees some dry weather, but you can see later on thursday we're going to see some further outbreaks of showery rain arriving in. so still quite unsettled over the next few days. whilst there will be some drier weather at times, some longer spells of rain to end the week, and temperatures around the mid to high teens quite widely. that's your forecast. that's it. head to our website to see what the planned new walking and cycling "curvy bridge" will look like at the royal docks in east london. we'll be back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. thank you forjoining us this morning. it isjust thank you forjoining us this morning. it is just after half past seven. "wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant" — is how the wife of the bbc presenter michael mosley has described the broadcaster, following his death whilst on holiday on the greek island of symi.

the 67—year—old built up an army of fans, fronting shows such as radio 4's just one thing podcast, and trust me, i'm a doctor. our media correspondent david sillito looks back at his life. michael mosley, a trusted, charismatic guru of good health. one way to tell if you're sleep deprived is to go to bed in the middle of the afternoon... and a tv producer and presenter always happy to be the guinea pig in the search for a better understanding of the science of sleep fitness. and it's also good for my heart and lungs and weight. most notably in 2012, when he was diagnosed with type two diabetes. it's generally seen as an incurable disease, which has to be managed by medication. but what if you could reverse it? his subsequent weight loss using intermittent fasting inspired thousands to follow

the five two diet. among those paying tribute, one friend and colleague who said his success owed much to the way he delivered his message. i think that legacy will live on. people will remember him. people will smile. anyone who met mike will always smile because he was such a loving, kind, generous person, but had a slightly infectious and impish laugh. so yeah, i'm really sad, but i'm also really proud and lucky to have had him in my life. my cholesterol levels tend to be high. it was serious science. he just avoided graphs and jargon. and those self experiments, nothing seemed to daunt him. here he is infesting himself with tapeworms. there they go. but there was always a serious point. many have told us to eat our greens or cut down on sugar. michael mosley had the rare gift of encouraging thousands of us to actually do it.

michael mosley, who's died at the age, of 67. and as you might expect tributes have been pouring in for michael moseley. tv presenter angela rippon said that michael'sjust one thing broadcasts really persuaded people that by "changing just one thing" to their daily routine, they could make a "serious difference to their health and wellbeing". while chefjamie oliver said he was a "wonderfully sweet, kind and gentle" man. adding that michael was a "curious investigator, producer and presenter", and that he "often changed the conversation around many public health issues for the better". tv presenter and physicist brian cox also took to social media, saying he was "such an important figure both on and off the screen", and was a "mentor to many" when they started out in science presenting. he added that michael was a "genuinely lovely man". and we're joined now by his friend and colleague dr saleyha ashan. good morning to you. it is good to

have you with us, but it is such a sad moment. how will you remember him? i sad moment. how will you remember him? , ~ . ., him? iwill remember michael, as tributes have _ him? iwill remember michael, as tributes have already _ him? iwill remember michael, as tributes have already said, - him? iwill remember michael, as tributes have already said, as i him? iwill remember michael, as tributes have already said, as a i tributes have already said, as a mentor and a friend. i began my bbc on—screen career with michael. he was the one that i had to do might taste at tape with four trust me i'm a doctor, and i was terrified because michael is a legend, but as soon as i arrived at the bbc in london, he put me at ease almost immediately, and the way that i had got to know him on screen, that really personable, accessible character that comes across on television, that's exactly how he was in real life, and how he was with me. he instantly put me at

ease, settled me down, and we got on with thejob. and iforgot ease, settled me down, and we got on with the job. and i forgot about the cameras on the lights and we just had a really good conversation. band had a really good conversation. and in that very — had a really good conversation. and in that very confusing, sometimes frightening world of health and wellness, he really cut through, didn't he? he had a talent for telling people very simple things that they might feel they were able to do themselves. what was it about him that made him so good at spotting those things? i him that made him so good at spotting those things?- him that made him so good at spotting those things? i think first of all he just _ spotting those things? i think first of all he just had _ spotting those things? i think first of all he just had this _ spotting those things? i think first of all he just had this ability i spotting those things? i think first of all he just had this ability to i of all he just had this ability to break down the complex and make it accessible to all. science can be full ofjargon. journal papers that are very dense to read. but he was able to get the main points, the main messages out of those papers, and bring them into the public domain so that we can all benefit from that research. and i think the other thing that i've been thinking about his trust. he had this ability

about fasting, you have to have michael on it, and it was coming up to ramadan. i was nervous because they were going to belong, hot days, and michael sat me down afterwards when the cameras had stopped and said, how are you going to do this? how you feeling about it? and ijust found myself speaking about my worries and concerns, and he said, you don't have to worry about it. it is just a hormone, the hunger hormone, you can do this. and every ramadan since, as we come up to it, i always remember his words. we can do this. and i will remember it forever. if we can do this. and i will remember it forever. , ,., we can do this. and i will remember it forever. , ., , ., we can do this. and i will remember itforever. ., , ., ., ~ it forever. it is so lovely to talk to this morning. _ it forever. it is so lovely to talk to this morning. thank - it forever. it is so lovely to talk to this morning. thank you - it forever. it is so lovely to talk to this morning. thank you so l it forever. it is so lovely to talk - to this morning. thank you so much sharing your memories of doctor michael mosley. it is 20 28, and we are reflecting on the amazing career of alan hansen. he is one of those defenders that if you are my age, you started

watching football in the mid—1980s, the incredible cup double under kelly —— kenny dalglish. he had unique talents as a defender, alan hansen. he reads the game well, but it is about the fact that he didn't need to make many tackles because he was always in the right place at the right time, and i always imagined as a kid, thinking, show me alan hansen, because i want to see him standing on top of the 18 yard box reading everything in front of him, because that was what he did. and it was against the type of the defender, the centre back at that time, and that is why he was such a memorable defender and used his expertise to become a match of the day pundit, and there are many fingers crossed this morning. the former scotland and liverpool defender alan hansen

is seriously ill in hospital, his former club have confirmed yesterday. he was one of those players who became a pundit, those of our generation will remember him doing but most watching and imagine him in suit sat next des lynam or gary lineker the 68—year—old was a key part of the great liverpool teams of the late 1970s and then throughout the 1980s. after retiring in 1991, he appeared as a pundit on match of the day until 2014. liverpool released a statement yesterday saying "the club is currently in contact with alan's family to provide our support at this difficult time, and our thoughts, wishes and hopes are with alan and all of the hansen family". former team—matejohn aldridge, chairman of the former players�* association forever reds, said on x: "all our thoughts as ex—lfc players are with alan hansen and his family. let's hope he can pull through his illness. you will never walk alone." hansen's former match of the day colleague gary lineker wrote on x: "horrendous news. thoughts are with alan, janet and all the family." scotland's cricketers are in a good position to make the last eight of the t20 world cup. after winning for the second time in their group stage campaign. they eased to victory against oman

store for this week, i hear you ask? more of the same. it will be sunshine and showers, which means over a few days some of you will get away largely dry, but thursday into friday we will see more widespread rain push in, so we will be hard pressed to avoid that later on. persistent rain across parts of the midlands, lincolnshire, pushing towards east anglia, strong and gusty winds around the coast as well. elsewhere brightening up, we start fairly cloudy with sunny spells, scattered showers developing and they will rattle across the sky quickly thanks to that breeze and across scotland they will be more cloud and sunshine between the showers. but someone avoid them altogether. another cool day, temperatures a little bit down on the weekend, and as the showers fade for some of you tonight, it will be another chilly night. showers continue in the north and east, continuing overnight into parts of the midlands as well but where you

have clear skies, particularly across central scotland, you could see a touch of frost for tuesday morning. tuesday starts fresh, fairly bright start, breezy down eastern coasts. we will see one or two showers around to begin with developing widely through the day, but nowhere near as many showers tomorrow as we will see through today, but if anything it will be a touch cooler than today. as for the rest of the week, wednesday the driest day by and large with fewer showers, but that rain will gradually spread its way in. thank you, matt. boys from the black stuff was the widely acclaimed bbc drama that documented the struggles of five out—of—work liverpool lads in 1980s recession—hit britain. of five out—of—work liverpool lads now, more than a0 years since it first aired, the award winning series is heading for the west end, following its stage adaptation. in a moment we'll hear from some of those behind the production but first, let's just take a look back at where it all began.

east. it's monday, the 10th ofjune. tributes have been paid to the broadcaster and author michael mosley, following his death whilst on holiday, at the age of 67. a postmortem examination will take place at a hospital on the greek island of rhodes later today. dr mosley disappeared whilst walking in extreme heat on the island of symi last wednesday, his body was later recovered on a remote hillside following a four day search. from symi, our correspondent joe inwood reports. it was here on a rocky hillside that michael mosley was found. he was just metres from safety when he was seemingly overcome by the heat and collapsed. the people of this island and the greek authorities had done everything they could. despite that, he was not found for nearly four days. it was on that beach of agia marina that the body, which has now been identified as michael mosley, was found.

he was found lying just to the right side of that fence you can see over there so really close to where people would have been relaxing and playing on this popular and busy beach. we spoke to a police source who said that the body of michael mosley had been there for a number of days. it was a tragic end to a story that had begun on wednesday when michael mosley left the beach where he'd been with his wife clare atabout1.30pm. he was then picked up on a camera at a coffee shop here, a second one at a restaurant here, and then finally on one at a marina before he walked out of town, heading towards agia marina. but despite an extensive search and rescue operation involving police, fire, helicopters, dogs, even members of the public, in the end, he was found by accident. it emerged a greek television crew were filming with the mayor and only noticed the body in their shot when they got back to edit their pictures. translation: when we returned here in symi and the footage - was being prepared to send

to athens, we spotted the body of a man. we informed the mayor and so the coastguard was immediately mobilized with the doctors. michael mosley�*s death was confirmed by his wife, clare. she said... a medical team carefully moved michael mosley to a waiting coastguard boat then to rhodes for a postmortem. there has been a genuine sense of shock, of sadness on this quiet island over the disappearance and death of michael mosley, a man most had never met. imagine then, the pain of those who knew and loved him.

joe joins us live now from symi. morning, joe. we are expecting a little bit more information to come out this afternoon?— out this afternoon? yes, michael mosle 's out this afternoon? yes, michael mosley's body — out this afternoon? yes, michael mosley's body was _ out this afternoon? yes, michael mosley's body was taken - out this afternoon? yes, michael mosley's body was taken to - out this afternoon? yes, michael mosley's body was taken to the i mosley's body was taken to the nearby island of rhodes and it is expected of a postmortem examination will take place there to determine the cause of death. there is some more information that has been coming out over the last few hours as well. cctv footage has emerged showing what are thought to be his very last moment. this footage was taken from a nearby beach bar, right where he was fined two have collapsed. it has been seen by the press association and some other localjournalists. we have not seen it, but it is very much considered to be legitimate. and what it shows is michael making his way down that hillside, just a few hours after he was last seen, and then disappearing, collapsing behind the

wall, where he was then subsequently found. so i think we are finally getting a clear picture of what happened to michael mosley. that also tallies with the statement that was put out, the very heartfelt and dignified statement by his wife doctor clare bailey mosley yesterday which said, michael did a very difficult climb and took a wrong turn. he was trying to make his way home, he didn't have his phone with him, he went on the wrong direction and ended up going across this incredibly exposed hillside in incredible heat, over a0 degrees on that day, and it has cost him so very dearly. that day, and it has cost him so very dearly-— that day, and it has cost him so very dearly. that day, and it has cost him so ve dearl. ., very dearly. thank you, joe. jon has more of the — very dearly. thank you, joe. jon has more of the day's _ very dearly. thank you, joe. jon has more of the day's news. _ more of the day's news. let's start with the election campaign because the pace is increasing. the liberal democrats will pledge to rescue the health service when they launch their election manifesto later. if elected, the party has promised it would boost spending on health and social care, recruit thousands more gps and end what they describe as "dental deserts." our political correspondent

iain watson reports. the lib dems have been floating some ideas for reforming the health service for some time. but now their leader, sir ed davey, really wants to make a splash by putting what he calls a rescue package for the nhs at the heart of the party's manifesto. he says the nhs is in crisis in england. he's proposing a multi—billion pound cash injection over the next four years. he says this would give everyone the right to see a gp within seven days or within 2a hours if urgent, guarantee access to an nhs dentist for everyone needing urgent and emergency care, and improve early access to mental health services. sir ed davey has also been hanging the drum for social care, often the junior partner in the health system. his manifesto will devote a whole chapter to it and will include the commitment to free social care for those who need it in their own homes. with both the conservatives and labour parties promising more resources for the health service,

the lib dems have to be distinctive. they, like the other two parties, say they won't need to put up income tax to fund health care. but other taxes are available. we have identified areas where there is money available which has been spent we believe in the wrong way. for example, the massive tax cut for banks. £a billion is available if we reverse that. the lib dems claim they're being more transparent on tax and spending than other parties and today they'll be setting out their political direction of travel. iain watson, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. the lib dems manifesto today, more to come over the next few days, henry, you are getting very excited about this! a, . ., henry, you are getting very excited about this! a, i ., , ., about this! morning, jon. it is a bi week about this! morning, jon. it is a big week for — about this! morning, jon. it is a big week for the _ about this! morning, jon. it is a big week for the parties - about this! morning, jon. it is a big week for the parties and - about this! morning, jon. it is a big week for the parties and fori about this! morning, jon. it is a - big week for the parties and for the voters, because we will get more detail than ever before of what each of the parties is proposing should they win the general election.

alongside what you heard from the liberal democrats and we will hear much more later this morning when they unveil theirfull much more later this morning when they unveil their full manifesto, both the conservatives and labour have significant announcements today. the conservatives, you do not need me to tell you this, have had a rocky few days over rishi sunak�*s decision to leave d—day commemorations in normandy early. today he is trying to get the subject onto policing. he has a new policy which he says would mean an extra 8000 neighbourhood police officers over the course of the next parliament, a new police officer in every ward in england and wales. expect a bit of argy—bargy with labour over numbers because the conservatives say that they would recruit 8000 extra neighbourhood police officers, labour say that they would put 13,000 officers back on the beach but the conservatives claim that labour has an empty pledge which would result in just 3000, laboursay pledge which would result in just 3000, labour say the same about the conservatives, let's say that is going to play out over the next few

days. meanwhile labour have an announcement on childcare, talking about using the excess capacity produced by falling birth rates in some parts of the country meaning there is a space in primary schools, and they say they will use that space to create at least 3000 nurseries in england for 100,000 children. each nursery being converted from a primary school classroom would cost £a0,000, labour say, funded through levying vat on private school fees, their long—standing policy. some in the early years sector saying the more important thing rather than this is about finding their way to tackle the staffing crisis in childcare. both parties have been talking about childcare for some time, it will be a big issue in our times and well be on this general election. absolutely, henry, thank you very much indeed. the french president, emmanual macron, has called a snap election after his alliance suffered a big defeat by the hard—right in european union elections. earlier, our europe correspondent nick beake explained the significance of these results.

it was a really resounding victory for the far right in france specifically. you had the party of marine le pen, the national rally, picking double the number of votes of president macron's centrist party. and the extent of this defeat meant that president macron went on tv last night to tell the french people that there would be a general election in less than three weeks' time, when the first round of voting would take place. and he was saying in his characteristic language that to be french is to write history, not to be governed by it. but the truth of the matter is that he could potentially be making an historic monumental error here, depending on what happens. because the big question is, will the far right in france replicate their success in the elections we've just had for this place, the european parliament, will they replicate that on the national level? will they be able to form a government? if they do, jon, you'll have the prospect of france hosting the olympic games later this summer

with the first hard—right government since the second world war, when france collaborated with nazi germany. so certainly a lotto play for in the next three weeks in france. in terms of elsewhere across europe, yes, there were gains for the far right, but not i think to the level that some had predicted. so for example, in the netherlands and in belgium, the far right parties there came second, they didn't score outright victories. and elsewhere, there was some successful centre—right parties. i'm thinking about places like spain and in hungary. and that means at the end of the day that, because these were the elections for the european parliament, the centre—right coalition will basically hang onto their position in power, and ursula von der leyen, who's like she will hold onto herjob for the next five years. an inquest into the death of the teenager harry dunn

is due to begin later. the 19—year—old was killed in a collision outside an american military base at raf croughton five years ago. us citizen anne sacoolas was given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to criminal charges. the inquest is due to last four days. health officials are appealing for blood donors to come forward to boost stocks following a cyber attack which affected a number of london hospitals last week. donors of 0 positive and 0 negative blood are being asked to urgently book appointments to cover the widest range of patients, after the ransomware attack affected some blood transfusions and tests. israel's defence minister, benny gantz, has resigned, accusing prime minister benjamin netanyahu of making empty promises over the war in gaza. it comes as the us secretary of state antony blinken starts a three day trip to the middle east as washington seeks backing for a ceasefire deal

to end the war in gaza. liverpool football club has announced their former captain alan hansen is seriously ill in hospital. the 68—year—old was a key figure at anfield for more than a decade. let's speak to hugh about this. what more do we know?— more do we know? yes, jon, thank ou. more do we know? yes, jon, thank you- when — more do we know? yes, jon, thank you- when you _ more do we know? yes, jon, thank you. when you picture _ more do we know? yes, jon, thank you. when you picture those - more do we know? yes, jon, thank. you. when you picture those trophies being lifted by that hugely successful liverpool team in the 19705 successful liverpool team in the 1970s and 80s, you can see alan hansen being one of those to do it. in his 1a years at anfield, he won eight league titles, three european cups, two fa cups, three league cups, two fa cups, three league cups, playing 620 times before retiring in 1991, he appeared at the 1982 world cup for scotland as well, 26 caps for his country. as a defender who was really out of his time, in a statement revealing the news of his health problems, liverpool talked of their legendary former skipper of being elegant, a

well chosen word. a far cry perhaps from the bruising reputation that most centre backs would have had in the 80s. for many the picture of alan hansen that immediately box into your mind if it is not playing is sat next to des lynam or gary lineker, he started working as a pundit for match of the day soon after his retirement. he was in the studio or at matches until 201a. liverpool's statement said the club is currently in contact with alan's support at this difficult time and their wishes and hopes are with alan and all of the family. he is a true great of the game and indeed and the coverage of it. absolutely right, thank you, hugh. matt can tell us if the summer is ever going to arrive properly, good morning. 0h, oh, is that the time?! oh, is that the time? i have things to do! no sign i am afraid to say, maybe not into next week either. i

do have some sunshine, not all doom and gloom. anybody waking up to cheshire skies this morning will find it hard to believe that two hours ago it was chucking it down. this scene might give you some hope if you are in lincolnshire if this guys look like this at the moment. brighter conditions on the way. some persistent rain across parts of eastern england right now, the radar chart, you can see a kernel of cloud and rain which has been pushing south and east, heavy rain pushing into lincolnshire and east anglia now, where we will see the strongest winds today, certainly this morning 50 miles an hour possible. brightening up across southern coastal counties, but showers will get going into mid morning and the afternoon in the middle of the country. pushing through smartly on and all the breeze so it will be choppy and change anti—western and

southern areas, southwest, you could stay dry. the northerly breeze will make itself felt in cloudier moments, chilly air away from the sunshine. the highest of the temperatures in the south—west. this evening and overnight, showers will keep going through northern and eastern areas, into parts of wales and west midlands, but clear skies between. a chillier night than last night, coldest conditions in central scotland, you could get a touch of frost full started tuesday. tuesday, sunshine and showers, wednesday is the driest day of the week but then rain hitting thursday into friday. i think i need to go and find where summer is hiding! irate think i need to go and find where summer is hiding!— think i need to go and find where summer is hiding! we will see where we will find it. _ summer is hiding! we will see where we will find it. it _ summer is hiding! we will see where we will find it. it feels _ summer is hiding! we will see where we will find it. it feels like _ we will find it. it feels like autumn this _ we will find it. it feels like autumn this morning. - the dying wish of a woman, wrongly convicted of theft as part

of the post office it scandal has been realised, after she was posthumously cleared of any wrongdoing. caren lorimer, who died two years ago, managed a branch in kilmarnock when she was falsely accused of stealing money. herfamily have been campaigning to clear her name ever since. our scotland correspondent katie hunter reports. what can i say? soulmate, she was just my soulmate, yeah. caren lorimer died in 2022, 13 years after she was convicted of embezzlement. her family found out ten days ago that conviction has now been quashed. amazing, amazing. i think the last time i spoke to you, i said it would mean the world to me, it definitely does. how are your emotions? you've been through so much. up and down, up and down. i'm really, i'm really happy and i'm really sad. ijust, i wish caren could have been here to see it because she'd have been so happy, she would have been really so happy. caren lorimer ran this post

office in kilmarnock. she was convicted in 2009. when she was dying from cancer, she told her family that she wished she'd cleared her name. while grieving, they navigated the legal system to try to quash her conviction. they were due back in court later this week but received good news sooner than expected. just finishing up at work, happened to open my mobile phone. i went straight into my emails and i could see there was an email there from the lawyers. i opened it up and it confirmed it, the judges didn't need the case to be heard, that they had quashed the conviction, and caren's name was clear. first thing i did was call david and he answered the phone and i thought, i don't even think i said hello. i think ijust said, i was like, "that's it, she's clear, she's clear." i think we were both like, goose bumps. shocked. just ecstatic.

but this is bittersweet for caren's family. her daughter laura was 25 when her mum was convicted. she had to plead guilty in order to avoid prison. and she also was sentenced to the maximum number of hours of community service. so that was humiliating for her, going every week serving community service. it wasn't fair, it wasn't right, she'd done nothing wrong. she was broken by it. broken, but like so many others, laura's mum was innocent. it's extremely important for her to be cleared. yeah, it's... i find it most upsetting that she died a convicted criminal. that can't be undone. you know, i'm happy she's exonerated, but she still died a convicted criminal.

i think it's very upsetting, something that my mum hadn't done and she's taken it with her. caren's name would likely have been cleared once blanket legislation passed by the scottish parliament comes into force. but her family had already started the process to quash her conviction through the courts, and they're pleased they did. i think she'd be delighted, yep. she knew all along she'd done nothing wrong, so did we and now it's just the proof. it's like we've made her final wish come true, which is priceless. she'd be so proud of everything we've done for her, everything we've done for her. yeah, yeah, she'll be happy, she'll be happy up there just now. that was caren's husband david lorimer, ending that report by katie hunter,

and a thank you to caren's family for sharing their story. in response the post office said: "we apologise unreservedly to victims of the horizon it scandal and ourfocus remains on supporting the ongoing public inquiry to establish the truth of what happened so those affected can receive the justice and redress they deserve." cat owners in england must ensure their pets are microchipped from today as new legislation comes into force. the rules apply to all cats over 20 weeks of age. owners have a three week grace period from today to get their animals microchipped, or they could risk facing a fine of up to £500. there are thought to be just under nine million cats in england, with more than a fifth, that's around 1.8 million cats, not yet microchipped. our reporter dave guest

is at an rspca animal hospital in manchester for us this morning. you have seen you have seen some you have seen some of your company being chipped today. that's right. this is princess, she had just been micro—chipped. that is jolly good because from today you could face a fine if you do not get your cat micro—chipped. we were able to watch the process, here are some pictures, it was just a quick injection into her back. she didn't feel a thing, she was helped by the fact that there was a nice big plateful of tuna to keep her occupied. she emerged unscathed, now she is chipped, that information will go on to a database and if she is ever lost in the future they can go on to the database and find all of her details and reunite her with her owner. so what is a chip? i hear you asking. this is it, it's this

tiny thing. not much bigger than a grain of rice. this is what is injected into the animal and that contains all of the information. you do have to update the information if you move house or change your phone number. alicejoins me now from the rspca. what are the main benefits of microchipping in your opinion? the rspca are microchipping in your opinion? tue: rspca are so microchipping in your opinion? t'ta: rspca are so pleased microchipping in your opinion? tta: rspca are so pleased that microchipping in your opinion? t'ta: rspca are so pleased that this legislation has come into force. the main benefit is microchipping is the quickest and most effective way of reuniting cat like princess if they are lost or stolen or injured. we owe hope that the west will not happen but accidents do happen. so if it is so good, why do people not have their cats microchipped at present? have their cats microchipped at resent? ., ., , , ., ., present? various reasons, we are at the forefront — present? various reasons, we are at the forefront of _ present? various reasons, we are at the forefront of rescue _ present? various reasons, we are at the forefront of rescue and - present? various reasons, we are at the forefront of rescue and we - present? various reasons, we are at the forefront of rescue and we see i the forefront of rescue and we see one in ten cats coming in the tunnel micro—chipped. partly because some people are not aware that the legislation is coming into place, cats who live indoors only, some

are micro—chipped, they can be reunited with their owner. if they are not, that is a tricky process trying to work out if the cat has an owner, if they are astray, and if there are contact details, that is a lot of work for us. tt is there are contact details, that is a lot of work for us.— lot of work for us. it is important to keep the _ lot of work for us. it is important to keep the database _ lot of work for us. it is important i to keep the database up-to-date lot of work for us. it is important i to keep the database up-to-date if to keep the database up—to—date if you do move or change your mobile number. so that when the chip is red, they can reunite you with your cats. thank you very much indeed. that is the law in england from today, you have 21 days to comply with it or you could face a £500 fine if you do not get your cat micro—chipped. princess looks fine to us, she's beautiful. very patient. a lot friendlier than hastings was earlier. look at that face! hello, rincess! earlier. look at that face! hello, princess! watch _ earlier. look at that face! hello, princess! watch your _ earlier. look at that face! hello, princess! watch your fingers, i earlier. look at that face! hello, i princess! watch your fingers, dave. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with helen and gethin. nice of you to join nice of you tojoin us! nice of you to join us! nice to be

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. an urgent call�*s gone out to medical students to volunteer for shifts at several london hospitals affected by a suspected russian cyber attack. thousands of operations, blood tests and blood transfusions have been cancelled at king's, guy's & st thomas's, harefield, the royal brompton and evelina children's hospitals. nhs blood & transplant is also appealing for blood donors to book appointments to help boost stocks of 0 positive and 0 negative blood. a man and a woman in their a0s are still in hospital after a funfair ride malfunctioned at the lambeth country show. it happened at the show in brockwell park on saturday evening. another man and an 11—year—old girl have both been discharged from hospital. the second day of the event went ahead yesterday, but all the funfair rides were closed and the police, lambeth council and the health &

safety executive are all investigating what happened. over 3,000 asylum seeking children are living in hotels in london. a freedom of information request by bbc london to the home office has found 3,0a5 accompanied asylum seeking children are currently living in accomodation as they await decisions on their migration status. some of them have waited for over two years. people are essentially trapped in really small rooms for months and years on end. so whole families will live in one hotel room, and we're talking really budget hotels, not fancy hotels. and those families all live day in, day out in these tiny rooms until they finally receive a decision on their asylum claim. the conservative party said on behalf of the home office in response to the findings that it had a clear plan in place to "stop the boats". labour said it would hire more

than 1,000 new caseworkers to speed up asylum claims while the liberal democrats said they would establish a new dedicated asylum unit. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, but there are minor delays on the picadilly line. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. quite an unsettled picture over the next few days. we had some outbreaks of showery rain last night, and for this morning it's still quite cloudy and damp. we will see some sunny spells developing with some showers later. so, still quite cloudy out there for the time being, but as we head through the day, the cloud will thin and break to allow some brighter spells. you can see some scattered showers around, one or two heavy ones and may be the odd rumble of thunder. quite breezy as well, with temperatures reaching 15 to 16 celsius. still some showers for a time this evening, but they'll tend to fade away. it becomes dry overnight with some clearer skies, and it will be a cooler night tonight compared with last night. overnight lows of around six to nine celsius. a dry, bright start initially to tuesday, but some showers developing quite widely. wednesday sees some dry weather, but you can see later on thursday we're going to see some further outbreaks of showery rain arriving in. so still quite unsettled over the next few days.

whilst there will be some drier weather at times, some longer spells of rain to end the week, and temperatures around the mid to high teens quite widely. that's your forecast. that's it. head to our website to see what the planned new walking and cycling "curvy bridge" will look like at the royal docks in east london. see you then. hello. this is breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. the liberal democrats will pledge to rescue the health service when they launch their election manifesto later. if elected, the party has also promised to boost spending on health, social care, gps and dentistry. let's speak now to daisy cooper, the deputy leader of the liberal democrats. good morning to you. this is the moment we've all been waiting for, to hear what the parties are all going to say in their manifesto, and

could introduce a measure to reverse that as soon as possible, so we would want to do it as soon as possible. the other measure which is to raise £5 million from closing what is effectively a loophole in capital gains tax, and again that could be done quite quickly as well at the first possible physical event, so we wouldn't waste any time at all in trying to change these measures, because it is so vital that we get our nhs and social care back on theirfeet that we get our nhs and social care back on their feet so that people can get the care they need when they need it. 50 can get the care they need when they need it. i ., can get the care they need when they need it, i ., ., can get the care they need when they need it. i ., ., i .,, need it. so you are saying as tuickl need it. so you are saying as quickly as — need it. so you are saying as quickly as possible. - need it. so you are saying as quickly as possible. how- need it. so you are saying as - quickly as possible. how quickly? as i quickly as possible. how quickly? is i say, the quickly as possible. how quickly? 23 i say, the first quickly as possible. how quickly? 2.3 i say, the first fiscal event of the next parliament, you could do as soon as possible, they could even be an emergency budget if you wanted to. the point we are trying to make is that we have a plan for saving our nhs and social care. we have pledged to invest an additional £9 billion, and we would introduce measures as soon as possible to get back £9 billion into the system.

warehouse or supermarket, or might leave the country altogether, and what we want to do is invest in our domestic workforce by increasing the minimum wage by £2 so that caring is a real vocation and a job that people can work in and get rewarded for. �* , ., ~ people can work in and get rewarded for. �*, ., ,, ., people can work in and get rewarded for. �*, ., ~ ., ., people can work in and get rewarded for. �*, ., ,, ., ., for. let's talk about caring for a moment. _ for. let's talk about caring for a moment, because _ for. let's talk about caring for a moment, because that - for. let's talk about caring for a moment, because that plan - for. let's talk about caring for a moment, because that plan is i for. let's talk about caring for a l moment, because that plan is to introduce free personal care for older or disabled people at home. age uk and the royal college of nursing have both said they support this plan but there simply aren't the people to fulfil it, there aren't the people injobs? the people to fulfil it, there aren't the people in jobs? aren't the people in 'obs? there are many people _ aren't the people in 'obs? there are many people who _ aren't the people injobs? there are many people who have _ aren't the people injobs? there are many people who have left - aren't the people injobs? there are many people who have left the - aren't the people injobs? there are many people who have left the care | many people who have left the care sector because of the pay, the work and the conditions, and it is a really sad fact that in this country we just don't value carers, and that is unforgivable. liberal democrats are saying that we do value carers, we value the care sector and we want to attract people back into being carers because many people have left the sector, and we want to recruit more people. and part of our plan to do that is not only to provide free personal care but to create a royal

waiting for them in barrow, there were dedications in supermarkets. back gardens were thrown open to bikers without accommodation. come and join us. let them stay in my huge garden. the hype and everything has been fantastic. i mean, we love dave. when you see him or talk to him, you smile. because that's what he was like. he was a fantastic person. there were rumours there could have been as many as a6,000 bikers during the memorial drive. what a remarkable reception. just mind—blowing. all of the over bridges, all the way from london up to barrow—in—furness, people waving and showing kindness and courtesy, and, oh... it was just superb. it's just people lining the streets cheering. i was absolutely crying. i mean, i'm so emotional over it. it was amazing.

all the way, motorway bridges are crammed with people. and as we were coming in through the the towns and villages leading into barrow, just streets were lined, and it was just amazing. and behind it all, one man whose positivity shone through, even in his final months. hip—hip! all: hooray! thank you, barrow! he taught me so many things. tojust live every moment to the fullest. don't let anything bring you down. we had so many adventures together, and that was fueled by his creativity, fueled by his energy. and this is the spirit of dave day. a day many wish could become an annual event. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

some of you will not feel too badly during the first half of the week, some areas will stay dry altogether but later on we will see widespread rain pushing in off the atlantic. that's what is coming our way, some of you have seen persistent rain this morning. it is now mainly confined to eastern counties, particularly through east anglia where we are seeing winds of a0 or 50 mph, remaining blustery and cold. away from that, the showers will get going this morning. it may only form of a small portion of your day, but they could be on the heavy side, one or two areas in the south—west staying dry, but if you are in scotland, more in the way of showers and cloud, and temperatures feeling cold, 10—16, around 6 degrees below where we would be normally at this time of year. northern and eastern areas and also across northern areas

and into wales, where you get some clear skies it will be chilly, and in parts of scotland tomorrow morning, a touch of frost around. as for tomorrow, morning, a touch of frost around. as fortomorrow, lightershowers, wednesday drier still. back to both. we are much obliged, matthew. we are talking posh, and rightly so. it's been thrilling millions of viewers worldwide since it first hit our screens back in 2020, and now the netflix regency drama bridgerton is set to return with the second instalment of its third series. we are very excited about it! it documents the lives of the wealthy bridgerton family as they navigate london's highly competitive social season. in a moment we'll speak to one of the cast — but first, let's take a look. how are we expected to understand all of the society rules when even somebody born into it cannot grasp it? do
