yesterday, the labour leader pledged to change football governance rules to prevent any super league—style breakaways by english clubs. today, the party is highlighting plans to create 350 new banking hubs in britain's towns — a move the party claims would bring cash to high streets and help to keep pubs and other shops open. rishi sunak warned voters yesterday not to give labour a blank cheque on polling day. the prime minister knows the situation looks bleak for the tories but said he believes he can win. his tactic is to relentlessly criticise and question labour's tax plans. council tax is the latest focus and the tories say labour should rule out scrapping referenda on council tax hikes — an attack labour described as hysterical and desperate. 3, 2, 1... while the two main parties slug it

out, the liberal democrat leader ed davey seems to be having far more fun than his rivals. today, the party is again focusing on cleaning up dirty water, with a pledge to recruit 100 new water—quality inspectors, as part of a plan to clamp down on sewage—dumping water companies. as a campaign quickens towards polling day onjuly 4th, campaigners are encouraging people to register to vote. one of our biggest slogans is, if you don't do politics, politics will do you. and by that we really do mean, do we want other people to make decisions about our lives when we are the experts in our own lived experience? politics can often feel too far fetched, too out there, too high a level when in reality, we are experts of our own lived experience. nearly 2 million applications to vote have been made since the election was called and if you are not already registered to vote, you have until midnight tonight to ensure you can cast a ballot. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster.

registered to vote. as we have been discussing every morning, this is a crucial and fascinating general election. if you want a sense of how things are going for the conservatives, the incumbent party, who have been in powerfor14 years, look at the warning by rishi sunak that keir starmer could entrench his power for years. that keir starmer could entrench his powerfor years. that that keir starmer could entrench his power for years. that is that keir starmer could entrench his powerfor years. that is not that keir starmer could entrench his power for years. that is not the warning of a confident leader. i was messaging a conservative candidate in a very safe constituency yesterday and asked how it was going. they replied with a photo of a crashing red wave. that opinion might change. if you want to change it or keep it that way, you have to register to vote. we'll be speaking to the green party's co—leader adrian ramsay at 8.30am. now the rest of this morning's news

with jon. now the rest of this morning's news withjon. a fairly significant trip by the russian president today. we will be getting an update and little later. first, steelworkers belonging to the unite union have begun industrial action in protest at tata steel's plans to cut almost 3,000 jobs. our business correspondent huw thomas joins us now from port talbot. how significant is this action today? how significant is this action toda ? , , , , ., today? this is the first industrial action in the _ today? this is the first industrial action in the steel _ today? this is the first industrial action in the steel industry - today? this is the first industrial action in the steel industry in . today? this is the first industriali action in the steel industry in 40 action in the steel industry in a0 years. it has been taken by members of the unite union and they are working to rule and staging an overtime ban here in port talbot and near newport. the steelworkers i have spoken to are defiant and determined to try to change the mind of tata steel. they want to close both bonuses and overtime build a

new electric arc furnace, a greener way to make steel. whether it's shutting it means 2000 job losses in quick succession, the bulk happening in port talbot. unite says there is another way, there could be a longer transition towards that time when there could be a greener way to make steel here. the company says there is an immediate and financial imperative to get this done. they are losing £1 million a day in port talbot. they say they are investing in the future of steel—making with the green commitment. it called up the green commitment. it called up the ballot process of unite. they feel it is unlawful although they have not challenged in the courts. there are lots of other workers and other unions who are still in discussion with tata steel. the

company wants unite to get back around the negotiating table. russia's president putin has praised north korea for "firmly supporting" the war in ukraine, as he prepares to visit pyongyang for the first time in 2a years. the us says it's concerned about the deepening relationship between the two countries, and has accused north korea of shipping weapons to russia, a claim denied by moscow and pyongyang. our correspondent shaimaa khalil is in seoul this morning. shaimaa, what is the significance of the visit? it isa it is a significant visit. it has been described by ukraine as the world's loneliest romance. expect to hear that phrase a few times today and tomorrow. they have weakening economies and an isolated world standing. they know they need each other and each leader knows the other and each leader knows the

other has something they need. north korea needs everything from fuel to food and foreign currency and space technology, especially after it failed to launch its second spy satellite into orbit last month. russia wants munition and weaponry that north korea can provide. we understand by the united states it has provided this for the war in ukraine. significant because it is the first time in more than two decades vladimir putin has made that trip to north korea. tv stations were running archived footage of a much longer vladimir putin received by kimjong—un�*s much longer vladimir putin received by kim jong—un�*s dad. much longer vladimir putin received by kimjong—un�*s dad. he much longer vladimir putin received by kim jong—un�*s dad. he wants to solidify that relationship, especially that his country as well is increasingly isolated on the world stage. those two leaders want to project to the world, especially for the united states, they have each other to rely on.

here, the actor sir ian mckellen has been taken to hospital after falling from the stage during a performance in london last night. the 85—year—old had been in a fight scene at the noel coward theatre when he lost his footing and fell, leading to the cancellation of the show. a spokesperson said he was expected to make a speedy recovery. demonstrators in israel have clashed with police in protest over the government's handling of the war in gaza. thousands took to the streets demanding new elections and the release of the remaining hostages taken by hamas. it comes after the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu dissolved his six—member war cabinet, following the departure of two key figures. there's a warning children across the uk could experience "lifelong consequences" due to long delays for hospital treatment. it comes after a bbc investigation found more than 20,000 youngsters waited over a year to be admitted for procedures including surgery, with a record number of families paying for private treatment.

the post office inquiry continues today with two directors from the forensic accountancy firm credited with helping to expose the scandal, set to give evidence. andy verity is there for us. we can check in with him. andy, what can we expect today? this could be an explosive day for evidence at the post office inquiry. the two people giving evidence today are ron warmington and ian henderson. if you remember the itv drama that went out at the beginning of the year that caused such a big public fuss... that included a character called bob rutherford, representing a firm of forensic accountants, who is an amalgam of these people. hired in 2012 by the

post office after pressure from mps in parliament to look into claims that sub—postmasters had been wrongly prosecuted. they went through the post office files, looked at the system and spoke to people. they told the post office something it didn't want to hear that there were bugs in the horizon it system and concerns they might have affected the shortfalls for which sub—postmasters were prosecuted. they delivered an interim report injuly 2013. we have listened to the inquiry which said when they were told that the board of the post office was alarmed and the chair of the post office, alice perkins, wanted to get rid of second sight. they recorded the calls. we have been hearing some of the tapes from those recorded calls. we may hear more today and learn stuff we did not know before about the post office and a scandal.

millions of americans are bracing themselves for an early summer heatwave, which forecasters say could be the longest in decades. the hottest temperatures are expected to affect much of the midwest and northeastern states for up to a week. the national weather service says record temperatures of up to a0 degrees celsius are likely in many areas. concerns that extreme heat will make it impossible to hold the olympics during the summer months have been raised by leading athletes and climate scientists. it comes as a new report outlines some of the threats posed to competitors at this years paris games, including heat stress, —— to competitors at this year's paris games, including heat stress, sleep disruption and even the possibility of fatalities. that is fairly extreme weather. feels we have been having some extreme weather of our own. i was at the trooping the colour on saturday.

four seasons and about four minutes. for the flypast matt minutes later, brilliant blue sunshine for the red arrows, which looked fantastic. it was quite erratic, shall we say? good morning. we are getting a bit of summer weather, more than we have been used to. this scene was taken earlier in twickenham. we are starting off on a fairly cloudy note, which will give way to sunny spells and a few showers. some will be heavy and thundery as we go through the day. the northern half of the country, daddy cloudy with showers. the second half we had rain at the moment across the channel islands. this morning looks like it will clip sussex and kent. then we ran into some clearer skies and sunshine. where we have the cloud,

there are also a few showers. the northerly wind coming in across the north of scotland accentuating the chillier feel here. north of scotland accentuating the chillierfeel here. through north of scotland accentuating the chillier feel here. through the day more cloud will bubble up. some showers across parts of scotland and northern england into the north midlands and east anglia. those will be heavy and potentially thundery as well. the wrangle clearer away from the south—east and temperatures up to 21 celsius. —— the rain will clear away. to 21 celsius. —— the rain will clearaway. in to 21 celsius. —— the rain will clear away. in the sunshine, 21 will feel quite pleasant. good weather for royal ascot, which starts today. another weather front coming across the far north—west of scotland introducing more cloud. the cool night in the north. in sheltered glands, temperatures could fall away to two all three degrees. for the next couple of days, for most it will be dry. variable amounts of

cloud and sunny spells. we could see weather fronts coming in across the north west and the south is bringing rain at times on thursday. thank you ve much rain at times on thursday. thank you very much indeed. _ rain at times on thursday. thank you very much indeed. we _ rain at times on thursday. thank you very much indeed. we will _ rain at times on thursday. thank you very much indeed. we will be - rain at times on thursday. thank you very much indeed. we will be asking | very much indeed. we will be asking you about the is a bit later. i cannot wait! what _ you about the is a bit later. i cannot wait! what is - you about the is a bit later. i cannot wait! what is the - you about the is a bit later. i | cannot wait! what is the slug forecast? — cannot wait! what is the slug forecast? thank _ cannot wait! what is the slug forecast? thank you. - let's take a look at today's papers. tuesday's papers largely focus on the election campaign. the daily telegraph reveals that former prime minister borisjohnson is signing letters to red wall voters in a bid to counter reform uk and labour. the guardian looks in detail at yesterday's manifesto launch by reform uk. 0r contract as they call it. the party's leader nigel farage is accused of offering a manifesto that doesn't add up, according to economists. in other news, the metro leads on a story about a patient who stopped

an alleged bomber targeting a hospital. the paper says nathan newby talked the man out of detonating an explosive device at st james's hospital in leeds last year. "willkommen england" reads the front page of the daily mirror, as it reports german police have told fans to have a great time at the euros, but have also warned troublemakers to stay away. as pa rt of as part of that we have reported you cannot buy full strength alcohol at the stadium is the only low strength alcohol. there is a story in the times this morning that one particular bar in the centre of gelsenkirchen, which is where england fans were on sunday night, has done quite well. apparently they have sold more beer in one afternoon, on sunday afternoon, than they normally sell in two months.

that is amazing! thousands of pints. they started at nine o'clock in the morning. it is the piazza bar in the centre of the german city. the manager can probably retire by the end of the euros. we need a taylor swift story, it is the law! apparently in advance of the wembley stadium shows what she has ordered a5 large chicken donna kebabs... apparently. when she was in edinburgh she gave a mega order from greggs. which is? she isjust maxing out her loyalty points what she is here. i thought you were going to say a crate of champagne or something. she is done the people. —— down with the people.

there's a warning increasing numbers of children could suffer as councils in england forecast an almost £1 billion shortfall in funding for special needs education this year. as leading political parties outline their plans to do more to help support the sector ahead of the election, our education editor branwenjeffreys has been to meet some of those affected. it's one of the biggest education challenges, barely getting a mention in this election. it's a broken system that is breaking families and councils. i can only see that this is going to cause more issues, or more children, that potentially are not having their needs met in mainstream school. they're taking away - what we already don't have. we need to be given more access to provisions for our children - with additional needs, not less. look how green it is. it's really green. this is 11—year—old isla at a pet shop. isla is autistic and struggling to attend school. to get her needs met, mum sarah said she had no option but a legal process. it's really hard and overwhelming. that's the only way i can describe it.

the amount of paperwork, the amount of chasing, the amount ofjust advocating for, or searching for, what your child needs. it shouldn't be down to the families. sarah challenged over the education, health and care plan for isla. a council legally has to meet the needs in these plans. in england, almost 600,000 children and young people have one. last year, there was a 26% increase in new plans starting. three, two, one! 0h! the head teacher at this bristol primary says they're seeing more children with extra need. and councils are under pressure, funding not keeping up with spending. bristol is one of 38 areas told by the government to cut this deficit, put into what's called a safety valve agreement. i can only see that this is going to cause more issues, or more children, that potentially

are not having their needs met in mainstream school, and therefore, may not be accessing education at all. is this, nationwide, potentially a form of rationing? i can't see how it could be seen as potentially anything else. the send budget hole is large. 113 of 153 councils responded to the bbc about their spending, forecasting a £926 million deficit this financial year. that's the gap between funding and what they'll spend. and if you look at how this is adding up, an estimated £3.2 billion deficit has accumulated since 2019 across england. the worst gap between funding and spending, we found, was in cheshire east. it's not in a safety valve plan, so not getting extra cash. like all councils, the send deficits are being held off the balance

of accounts under a government deal that runs out in two years' time. at that point, the scale of the financial problem will be visible. it means that in 2026 we have a huge problem. it's a bit like, we've put the money on a credit card and that credit card has to be paid back in two years' time. how much interest are you paying on that at the moment? the amount that's already in that negative reserve for cheshire east council is about £80 million. so we'll be paying between £3 million and £6 million in interest in the current year. charities are worried about the children's legal rights to support. gathering information from councils trying to cut deficits, concerned it means fewer children will get a legally binding plan. the law is really clear - about what disabled children and young people are entitled to. and these safety valve - agreements seem to us to be allowing, maybe even encouraging, local authorities to breach their- legal duties to children

and young people. - in schools, early support might help. and that costs money too. some children will always need more specialist support, whether in mainstream or in a special school. how to manage all this, one of the biggest challenges in education. branwen jeffries, bbc news. hundreds of thousands of international fans are making their way to germany to watch the euros. and as the major summer of sports continues with the olympics starting in just six weeks, they'll be even more people travelling abroad. however, there are some people arriving only to find that the accommodation they booked on a third party booking site isn't what they expect. take a look at this.

the website booking.com says it's investigating after scotland fan rory bradley posted these pictures online. he said their accommodation was like something "out of a horror movie". you can see here what looks like a bed made of cardboard and held together by duct tape, while a sofa bed was described as "broken and disgusting". he said that after speaking to three different customer service advisers, the group was provided alternative accommodation, but were met by this: a spokesperson for booking.com said: "we are urgently looking into this and understand that the customer is now at another property, and will ensure they receive a full refund". so just how common is this issue and what can you do to make sure you're not caught out. which consumer expert, lisa webb has this advice.

i would say look for red flags when you're looking for your accommodation. a few things to consider is whether or not the price of the property seems to match the property itself. if it looks too good or too cheap, then it probably isn't legitimate. some other things to consider are whether or not the owner of the property is trying to take you off— platform. now we know a lot of scams occur off platform. by that, i mean taking you away from the likes of booking.com or airbnb. those platforms offer the ability for you to pay through them. because the second you leave those platforms, you also leave their protections behind and that means you can get scammed very easily. we'd like to hear from you. have you has an experience where your accommodation wasn't all that you expected? get in touch. all of the ways to do it are on the screen. rememberto all of the ways to do it are on the screen. remember to say where you are from and your name and potentially a picture. that is not

the only thing we want to hear from you about. maybe this ties together with bad accommodation as well. slugs. we hear how the unseasonably wet weather we're having has led to a surge in the numbers of perennial garden pests this summer. we will be looking at what you can do to protect your produce. if you have any suggestions about ways in which you have beaten the mollusks, then let us know. they ate all my aliums before they had a chance to grow and bloom. if he would like to consult sarah this morning, do get in touch. —— console. good morning from bbc

london, i'm alison earle. the family of a girl, who was seriously injured on a ride at lambeth country show, say they're still waiting to find out how the incident happened. 11—year—old silvana—rose douglas suffered injuries to her legs, pelvis and lower back, and can now only walk with crutches. three others, including her grandfather, were hurt when the ride malfunctioned at brockwell park earlier this month. her mother says they want answers. lambeth council said an investigation into the incident is underway. we'll get through it with time, but, you know, there's still going to be a big impact. so, we're never going to forget, you know. my daughter now is never going to go back on a ride, you know. like, it'sjust — people need to know. just, it needs to be safe. why is not safe? why wasn't it safe? why? it's like, why, why, why? students and graduates from university college london are heading back to the high court today, over claims their education was damaged by the pandemic and strikes.

solicitors representing almost 6,500 current and former ucl students say they paid huge tuition fees despite facing months of disruption and learning moving online. they'll ask the judge to have their case heard as one group. ucl said, "throughout the pandemic, we prioritised the health and safety of our whole community, so that a high—quality academic experience could continue to be provided." the actor, sir ian mckellen is said to be "in good spirits" in hospital, after he fell off stage in the west end. the 85—year—old was in a fight scene in player kings at the noel coward theatre, when he lost his footing. the audience was then informed that the show was cancelled. a theatre spokesperson said he's expected to make a speedy and full recovery, and will return to the production soon. fish travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. just some minor delays on the northern line between morden and camden town, now on to the weather with kate. good morning.

for many of us it is a bright start once again this morning. but already the cloud is coming up from the south. it did create this beautiful sunrise at twickenham, however. now we have got some sunshine, especially north of the ma this morning. but you see the cloud moving up. that's going to continue. it could bring some light and patchy rain to the south—east. temperatures today, 21 celsius. so, in the sunshine it is still going to feel warm. 0vernight tonight we will see any showers fading. the cloud breaking up, but there will still be some patchy cloud. the minimum temperature not dropping much below ten celsius. so, a relatively mild night. tomorrow, this ridge of high pressure continues to build in. it is looking dry, fine and sunny for wednesday. the wind is light as well. in that sunshine the temperatures getting up to 21, or even 22 celsius. now as we head further through this week, it is staying fairly settled. but some potentially fairly heavy rain overnight thursday into friday. it should clear as we head through friday. and temperatures getting a little bit warmer by the end of the week. there's more on our website

and social media, including what a red arrows pilot sees when they fly across london. head online to see the amazing footage. that's it. i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. let's return to our top story now, and with just over two weeks until polling day, an estimated four million people are being urged to register to vote in the forthcoming general election before tonight's deadline. nina is in the key swing seat of nuneaton for us this morning. market day has changed in nuneaton. the mining and textile industries that helped shape this town have declined. but there's still a buzz in this bellwether. win in nuneaton and statistics suggest you will when the keys to number 10. traders bob and jin are

fed up with feeling afraid in the town centre. they want investment, in businesses and people. the yob culture, in each city i work in, all the towns we work in, there's this yob culture where kids are going around in balaclavas scaring people. they've got to get these kids into work and apprenticeships and give them a purpose in life. they've got to help small businesses like ourselves to keep going, because fundamentally, small businesses are, we're told, what keep the economy going. the nearby cities of birmingham, coventry and leicester make this spot ideal for development. but interest rates have slowed the markets, and brandon would like to see policy that got it motoring. stamp duty reform is something i think that's missing, from all parties, really. a stamp duty that works for everybody, doesn't penalise people, but also gives them the opportunity to move. this seat also takes in the surrounding green spaces. at hoar park craft village,

sean and ron's chin—wag turns to trust. i mean, it's something i've always sort of enjoyed getting into, and actually, you look at it and there#s no sort of promises. trust is at a low. i don't sort of trust them. you've only got to look at the language some of them use. they're not just feeling uninspired, but let down too. the first time in my life i've paid private for a medical procedure. i feel sorry for the nurses on the front line. a&e are brilliant. i spent months up there, going backwards and forwards for three months. they're brilliant. but it'sjust bogged down and swamped. and time and again the thread that links these voters is bills, bills, bills. running this craft shop, margaret is struggling to make ends meet. there's no money left by the time you've paid your bills to have a life afterwards. there's nothing, no holidays, nothing.

with the cost of living going up, we've got nothing in our savings any more. taking the kids to the farm should feel carefree. but families here are worrying about the very basics. evenjust a food shop is, like £140 a week for four. so it is quite hard. nursery, i mean, that's so expensive. that's like a full—time wage a month. so i think helping more with childcare. it's desperate. education, law and order, _ immigration, the health service, you name it, it needs to be changed. will there be change in nuneaton? what might it look like? voters here tend to be in tune with the nation. watch this space. fascinating, isn't it? morning, nina. it looks like a busy cafe where you are. it seems to be the cost of living is... yeah, watch this space indeed.

up. it is time for the sport. sarah is here. a bit of a painful —looking injury last night? 0h, killie and mbappe won't be liking waking up this morning after suffering a broken nose in their win over france. a worry really for france fans considering how long it may potentially take him to recover. what they did get a victory. —— but they did get a victory. france have kicked off their euro 202a campaign with a win, but their 1—0 victory over austria was overshadowed by an injury to kylian mbappe. here's his moment of brilliance which led to an austria own goal in the first half. he had a mixed night, missing a big goal chance in the second half, but he led the way as france worked hard for the win. they'll face the netherlands next on friday. and all the talk now will be his availability, after this moment in the second half. mbappe there clashing with austria defender kevin danso. the blow left him covered

in blood before he left the pitch with a broken nose, as confirmed later by the french football federation, who also added he will now have a mask made to protect him. he doesn't need to undergo surgery. earlier in the day there was a huge upset as slovakia beat belgium 1—0 — ivan schranz with the goal afterjust seven minutes. romelu lukaku missed several chances for belgium, and then had two second half goals ruled out by the video assistant referee. and that wasn't the only surprise result. romania recorded their first victory at a european championship in 2a years, after beating ukraine 3—0. their only previous win at the euros came in 2000, when they beat england 3—2 in the group stage. later today, cristiano ronaldo will make it 11 major international tournaments, when portugal get their campaign under way against czech republic. the 39—year—old made his euros debut

20 years ago, and helped his country lift the trophy back in 2016. he's now the most capped male player in international football history, with 206 appearances for portugal. also later today, georgia will make their debut at major men's football tournament when they take on turkey. scotla nd scotland will be in action again tomorrow after their opening loss to germany on friday. let's get to our correspondent, nestor mcgregor, live in frankfurt. good morning. the big news be high —— from the scotland camp yesterday that ryan porteous, after the red card in the opener, thatis after the red card in the opener, that is now going to extend across his ban for the two remaining group games? his ban for the two remaining group names? , ., ., his ban for the two remaining group names? ,., ., ., ., his ban for the two remaining group names? ., ., ., games? good morning, sarah, and good mornin: to games? good morning, sarah, and good morning to the — games? good morning, sarah, and good morning to the folks _ games? good morning, sarah, and good morning to the folks watching _ games? good morning, sarah, and good morning to the folks watching at - morning to the folks watching at home. this is frankfurt, day five of

the euros. this is germany's fifth largest city. you can see the financial district behind me and the fun part. last night it was rich with football fans and today we expect much of the same. a lot of them might be scottish. scotland, not quite last chance saloon yet but they will expect the result against switzerland tomorrow night. flashes in their opener against germany. 5-1. not in their opener against germany. 5—1. not many people expected scotland to get a result but the manner of that defeat certainly shook up a few of the fans. john mcginn, their midfielder, says we will see a different scotland against switzerland. angus gunn says they owe the fans a performance. as you mention, for ryan porteous it could be the end of his tournament. unless they make it through to the knockout stages he is unlikely to play again. sent off and a penalty awarded against him against germany. uefa have reviewed it and consider

it serious foul play. his ban has been extended, two more games. if we concentrate on group c where we have got england in action, playing in frankfurt on thursday night, they play denmark. a win means they are through to the group —— knockout stages. we knowjude bellingham was the standout player against serbia, said gareth southgate yesterday, but phil foden and harry kane had acquired a game, but you can't expect every player to start in every game. england trained yesterday. the 12 players not featured in that game, for the rest it was recovery. england versus denmark in frankfurt on thursday night. a win for england and they are through. thank you very much. cameron norrie's preparations for wimbledon aren't exactly going to plan. yesterday he was replaced as the british number one byjack draper, and then lost in the opening round at queen's.

norrie lost in three sets to milos raonic. it went to a tie—break in the decider, which the canadian won 11 points to nine. he also fired a7 aces — a record in a three—set match. it's norrie's second successive defeat on home soil, after losing in nottingham earlier this month. meanwhile, jack draper is playing some of the best tennis of his career, after winning his first atp tour title at the weekend. his three— set win over matteo berretini at the stuttgart 0pen couldn't have come at a better time. draper is in action in a few hours' time at queen's, where he'll face argentina's mariano navone. andy murray and dan evans are also playing their first round matches later. yeah, it's been incredible. you know, ifeel a tremendous sense of pride. it's obviously been a long journey to get to that sort of first title. lots of ups and downs, lots of tough moments with my team, perseverance.

but, yeah, it's all part of the journey, and, yeah, just the way i played last week is what i'm most proud of. katie boulter is another brit who's showing great form ahead of wimbledon. she's playing in edgbaston later today, after she too picked up a title at the weekend. the british number one beat karolina pliskova in the nottingham 0pen final. it's back—to—back wins there, as she now targets a place in the world's top 20. boulter will play ukraine's anhelina kalinina in the first round at edgbaston. rory mcilroy says he'll take time away from golf after squandering the chance to win the us open and end his ten year wait for a major title. american bryson dechambeau pipped him in north carolina to win by one shot on sunday. mcilroy posted on social media overnight. "i feel closer to winning my next major championship than i ever have. the one word that i would describe

my career as is resilient. i've shown my resilience over and over again in the last 17 years and i will again." we will next see rory mcilroy in scotland, defending his scottish open title. he has had quite a couple of weeks. needs a break. thank you. see you later. it is time to have another look at the weather with carol. shall we ask about slugs now, or later? all i know about slugs at the moment is they are eating all my plans. i am not very happy about that. not a fan! good morning. this morning there is quite a bit of cloud for many. a lot of that will break up two sunny spells and also a few showers. some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. if you have an allergy to pollen, especially grass pollen, these are the values today. moderate or high or very high right the way across the board. what

is happening is we have got a weather front very close to the south—east of england. it is bringing some rain across the channel islands and a ridge of high pressure starting to build in from the west. we are starting off on a cloudy nose with spots of rain in the northern half of the country. further south there is some blue sky. we also do have the rain coming in across the channel islands. it will take a swipe at sussex and kent before moving away. into the afternoon you can see sunny spells developing. across east anglia, northern england and also scotland, we could see some sharp showers developing. they are likely to be heavy and thundery. for western parts of northern ireland, western scotland, after the high pressure builds in, things will brighten up. into this evening and overnight many of the showers will fade. clear skies. the cloud will build towards the north—west, heralding the arrival of the next weather front. that will eventually introduce some rain. chili in sheltered glens. into

wednesday, mostly dry. a lot of sunshine around. as this weather front comes into the north—west, it will introduce rain and cloud to scotland and northern ireland. these are the temperatures. 11 to 21 degrees, north to south. as we head towards the end of the week it looks like we will be clipped once again in the south—east by a weather front. the same across the north west. we will have more cloud in scotland and northern ireland ahead of this band of rain. again, a front coming from france would produce showers in the far south east. in between there will be dry and bright weather. a little bit warmer for many. temperatures up to 22 celsius. breezy conditions with the weather front coming in from the north—west. in the rain and the breeze it will feel cooler. as we had on towards the end of the week, this weather front looks like it is coming in on friday and will slowly drift southwards and eastwards. we say

goodbye to any showers first thing in the morning, a lot of dry weather, sunshine further east. but with the weather front coming in from the west that would bring in some rain. again the wind will strengthen and we will see some cloud. it will feel fresher in the west. 22 degrees is the high. as we go through the first part of this week, certainly for royal ascot, for the tennis at queen's club, it is looking pretty good, warm, dry, and variable cloud, but also sunshine. as we head towards the weekend we have got the rain on saturday. sunday looking drier. you might want to look away now, carol. 0h, to look away now, carol. oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk about me — oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk about me like _ oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk about me like that! _ oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk about me like that! look- oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk about me like that! look at - oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk| about me like that! look at these. oh, no, is it the slugs? don't talk. about me like that! look at these. i am almost — about me like that! look at these. i

quite rightly, exhausting for our weather team. lastjune was the warmest on record. thisjune has been...meh. sara, did you happen to find summer at the download festival? it's cracking the slates one minute, and then pouring down with rain the next. a mud bath, total mud bath. it was like thick chocolate custard. you couldn't lift your feet up. it was like suction cups. i lost one pair of boots and my others just about survived. and i believe you have renamed the download festival to? as drownload! i'd go again, but i'd stay in a hotel. every morning among my first jobs of the days to see if i can find summer. are we going to be dancing to your forecast? you might be dancing to avoid the puddles. |

slug hacks. heather in wolverhampton has messaged. good morning. she said once, years ago, a carrot fell out of her rabbit cage in the garden and she was amazed to see the slugs surrounded the piece of carrot and left her plants alone. she is now looking to have hedgehogs in the garden and they take care of the slugs. heather is happy. if you have not got any fleas, some carrots. keep the tips coming. and focus. do you mean slug photos? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. when good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the family of a girl, who was seriously injured when a ride malfunctioned at the lambeth country show say they're still waiting to find out how it happened. 11—year—old silva na—rose suffered injuries to her legs, pelvis and lower back and has to use crutches. three others including her

grandfather were hurt on the ride at brockwell park earlier this month. her mother says they want answers. lambeth council said an investigation into the incident is underway. we'll get through it with time, but, you know, there's still going to be a big impact. so, we're never going to forget, you know. my daughter now is never going to go back on a ride, you know. like, it'sjust — people need to know. just, it needs to be safe. why is not safe? why wasn't it safe? why? it's like, why, why, why? students and graduates from university college london are heading back to the high court today over claims their education was damaged by the pandemic and strikes. solicitors representing almost 6,500 current and former ucl students say they paid huge tuition fees despite facing months of disruption and learning moving online. they'll ask the judge to

have their case heard as one group. ucl said throughout the pandemic, we prioritised the health and safety of our whole community, so that a high—quality academic experience could continue to be provided. the actor, sir ian mckellen is said to be "in good spirits" in hospital after he fell off stage in the west end. the 85—year—old was in a fight scene in player kings at the noel coward theatre, when he lost his footing. the audience was then informed that the show was cancelled. a theatre spokesperson said he's expected to "make a speedy and full recovery" and will return to the production soon. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. just some minor delays on the northern line between morden and camden town. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. for many of us it is a bright start once again this morning. but already the cloud is coming up from the south. it did create this beautiful sunrise at twickenham, however. now we have got some sunshine, especially north of the ma this morning. but you see the cloud moving up. that's going to continue.

it could bring some light and patchy rain to the south—east. temperatures today, 21 celsius. so, in the sunshine it is still going to feel warm. overnight tonight we will see any showers fading. the cloud breaking up, but there will still be some patchy cloud. the minimum temperature not dropping much below ten celsius. so, a relatively mild night. tomorrow, this ridge of high pressure continues to build in. it is looking dry, fine and sunny for wednesday. the wind is light as well. in that sunshine the temperatures getting up to 21, or even 22 celsius. now as we head further through this week, it is staying fairly settled. but some potentially fairly heavy rain overnight thursday into friday. it should clear as we head through friday. and temperatures getting a little bit warmer by the end of the week. there's more on our website and social media including what a red arrows pilot sees when they fly across london. head online to see the amazing footage. that's it. i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. our headlines today... millions who haven't yet registered to vote in the general election have until midnight to get on the electoral roll. warnings for holidaymakers, as greece and turkey swelter in severe heatwaves, while millions of americans brace themselves for what could be their longest hot spell in decades. pupils at a special educational needs school physically abused and bullied by the adults charged with taking care of them. a bbc investigation uncovers evidence of shocking mistreatment certain people need to not be working around children, never mind vulnerable children. something has got to be done. for that to carry on, it is going to have damaging effects on the pupils of the school long—term. in sport... france beat austria at euro 202a but the win is overshadowed by an injury to kylian mbappe —

their star striker suffers a broken nose. good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start — good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start to _ good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start to the _ good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start to the day. _ good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start to the day. there i good morning. for many of us it is a cloudy start to the day. there are i cloudy start to the day. there are spots of rain around. that will give way to sunny spells and showers. some will be heavy and thundery. we could see some rain clipped the south—east. more details later. it's tuesday 18th june. our main story. millions of eligible people are being urged to register to vote in order to have their say in the general election, ahead of the deadline at midnight tonight. previous voters, who have moved address, changed their nationality, or their name will also need to re—register. it comes as parties return to the campaign trail today, with just over two weeks left until polling day. our political correspondent ben

wright has the latest. labour's campaign is captured in one word and so far it is a pitch keeping sir keir starmer�*s party miles ahead in the opinion polls. yesterday, the labour leader pledged to change football governance rules to prevent any super league—style breakaways by english clubs. today, the party is highlighting plans to create 350 new banking hubs in britain's towns — a move the party claims would bring cash to high streets and help to keep pubs and other shops open. rishi sunak warned voters yesterday not to give labour a blank cheque on polling day. the prime minister knows the situation looks bleak for the tories but said he believes he can win. his tactic is to relentlessly criticise and question labour's tax plans. council tax is the latest focus and the tories say labour should

rule out scrapping referenda on council tax hikes — an attack labour described as hysterical and desperate. 3, 2, 1... while the two main parties slug it out, the liberal democrat leader ed davey seems to be having far more fun than his rivals. today, the party is again focusing on cleaning up dirty water, with a pledge to recruit 100 new water—quality inspectors, as part of a plan to clamp down on sewage—dumping water companies. as a campaign quickens towards polling day onjuly ath, campaigners are encouraging people to register to vote. one of our biggest slogans is, if you don't do politics, politics will do you. and by that we really do mean, do we want other people to make decisions about our lives when we are the experts in our own lived experience? politics can often feel too far fetched, too out there, too high a level when in reality, we are experts of our own lived experience. nearly 2 million applications to vote have been made since the election was called

and if you are not already registered to vote, you have until midnight tonight to ensure you can cast a ballot. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. henry, it's deadline day, but the message is it's really easy to register to vote. that is right. it that is ri-ht. it is the voter that is right. it is the voter re-istration deadline today. your registration deadline today. your last chance to sign up to bed in the general election. then it is the postal deadline for people to vote tomorrow and applying for a proxy vote next week. statistics are pretty stark. 96% of pensioners are already on the electoral register. for 18 to 2a—year—olds, the vols to only around two thirds. poorer people and ethnic minorities are also far less likely to be

registered to vote. it takes five minutes to do so. log on to the government website and those eligible get permission to take part in this general election, in which there are onlyjust over two weeks to go. you can tell from the warnings by the conservatives, consequences of the large labour majority of how they think the general election will play out. is that how you think the general election will play out? if you want to have your say, you have got to register to vote. we'll be speaking to the green party's co—leader adrian ramsay at 8.30am this morning. we have been talking a lot about the weather this morning.— weather this morning. some really extreme weather _ weather this morning. some really extreme weather for _ weather this morning. some really extreme weather for the _ weather this morning. some really extreme weather for the united i extreme weather for the united states. millions of americans are bracing themselves for an early summer heatwave, which forecasters say could be the longest in decades. the national weather service says record temperatures of up to a0 degrees celsius are expected, with much of the midwest and north eastern states affected.

new york's mayor eric adams warned residents to be prepared for the heat, and to expect more extreme temperatures as the summer continues. we want to be clear, this is extremely hot forjune. new yorkers should not underestimate the heat. with climate change leading to more frequent and intense heat, our summers are different than they were before. so we should expect and be prepared for the hot weather that is coming. this is an indication of we're just starting out the summer months, we can expect more as the summer continues to move forward. meanwhile, a number of athletes are warning that intense heat at the paris olympics and paralympics this summer could put competitors in dangerous situations. a new report from climate scientists outlines some of the threats posed to competitors this year — including heat stress, sleep disruption and even

the possibility of fatalities. this all comes as tourists travelling to the mediterranean are being warned to prepare for extreme weather conditions. we'll hear more about this coming up in a few minutes. russia's president putin has praised north korea for "firmly supporting" the war in ukraine, as he prepares to visit pyongyang for the first time in 2a years. the us says it's concerned about the deepening relationship between the two countries, and has accused north korea of shipping weapons to russia — a claim denied by moscow and pyongyang. our correspondent shaimaa khalil is in seoul this morning. shaimaa, what is the significance of the visit? well, this has been described by ukraine as the world's loneliest bromance. it encapsulates this

relationship. two strong man with weakening economies and an increasingly isolated world standing. each knows the other has something they want. north korea needs everything from food, fuel, foreign currency and satellite technology after it failed to launch its second spy satellite into orbit last month. russia needs more ignition, more weaponry to make up for the stockpile on the battlefield in ukraine. both young young and russia have denied the arms transfers but we have had from the ukrainian army in the past and the united states sent thousands of containers of munitions have been transferred from north korea to russia for the war in ukraine. it is a win—win situation for both men. notjust what a win—win situation for both men. not just what they can get a win—win situation for both men. notjust what they can get but a win—win situation for both men. not just what they can get but the optics they are projecting to the world. the actor sir ian mckellen has been taken to hospital after falling

from the stage during a performance in london last night. the 85—year—old had been in a fight scene at the noel coward theatre when he lost his footing and fell, leading to the cancellation of the show. a spokesperson said he was expected to make a speedy recovery. the post office inquiry continues today with two directors from the forensic accountancy firm credited with helping to expose the scandal, set to give evidence. second sight were brought in to investigate the horizon it system but the post office later terminated the firms contract after it raised issues with their computer systems. steelworkers belonging to the unite union have begun industrial action in protest at tata steel's plans to cut almost 3,000 jobs. our business correspondent huw thomasjoins us now from port talbot.

what is the action about? we are about one hour from the first industrial action in the steel industry in about a0 years. members of the unite union in port talbot and at the tata steel site are staging a work to rule and observing an overtime ban. the steelworkers i have spoken to have a mood of defiance, determination to oppose the plans from tata steel. the company wants to shut both blast furnaces here in port talbot. to do that issue with the loss of around 2800 jobs. the company says it is losing £1 million a day here and thatis losing £1 million a day here and that is the reason behind moving quickly and before it has the chance to build a new, clean electric arc furnace in the future. the company doesn't want all of those jobs to disappear this year. tata steel says it can deal with the industrial

action and it wants the unite union like the other unions are doing to get back around the negotiating table. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. looking quite nice behind you. not too bad at looking quite nice behind you. iirrt too bad at all. some of us are starting off on a bright note, others a cloudy note and others are selling out. this picture from one about weather watchers taken in powys earlier. we do have the king of cloud for showery outbreaks of rain across scotland and drizzly conditions in ireland. wet across the channel islands. later it will collect parts of kent and sussex. a lot of this cloud will break up, particularly in the west of scotland and northern ireland as we go through the afternoon. the breeze coming from the north, a chillier feel. we will see sharp showers

developing across scotland, northern england, potentially the north midlands and into east anglia. some of those could be thundery. for the rest of england and wales, bright spells and sunny intervals. in the sunshine, 21, 22 will feel quite pleasant. overnight many of the show is well some clear skies. the cloud will thicken. temperatures tonight seven to 13 and in sheltered glands that temperatures could fall away to a nippy two to three. tomorrow where we have had the clear skies by night, we will start with some sunshine. the weather front will continue to make inroads across the north—west of scotland and northern ireland introducing some cloud. then we will see some rain. that first weather front introducing patchy rain and a second heavy rain. nevertheless temperatures ranging from ten in the north to 20, 21 pushing south. will feel quite

pleasant once again if you are in some sunshine. if you have an allergy to pollen levels are at moderate, high or very high by the way across the country.— moderate, high or very high by the way across the country. thank you. -- riuht way across the country. thank you. -- right away- _ an investigation by bbc panorama has revealed that pupils at a school for children with special educational needs have been mocked, bullied and physically abused. the school, which is based in the wirral on merseyside, says it takes allegations of misconduct seriously, and that five members of staff have been suspended. ruth clegg reports. life wirrall, an independent school with special educational needs. it promised to nurture. but it failed to deliver. where students were physically abused... taunted and mocked. you're the best footballer in a disabled school. well done, you.

and parents betrayed. i've trusted that school with my son. and i fought for 18 months to get him somewhere, which i thought was appropriate for him. he was promised the world. and let down majorly. sasha, an undercover reporter for bbc panorama, went into life wirral after whistle—blowers raised concerns about how children were being treated. hello, how are you? she spent nearly seven weeks volunteering and helping out with sports activities. here, the students are playing a basketball game at a local leisure centre. and a staff member is filmed, wrestling a boy to the floor. he told the bbc he had never harmed a student in any situation that had required physical intervention. paul hamill is a member of the school's senior leadership team.

this is how he talks to one of the pupils standing right next to him. later, in the car, paul hamill says he fantasised about killing the same boy and the boy had overheard him. you would like to what? the bbc wrote to paul hamill, he did not respond. sasha visited the mum of another child who attended the school. certain people need not to be working around children, never mind vulnerable children. something has got to be done because for that to carry on, that is going to have damaging effects on the pupils at the school long—term. the school says it doesn't condone the behaviour

revealed by the programme and five members of staff have been suspended. since it opened in 2021, the school has received £2.2 million in pupil fees from wirral council. the department for education has confirmed it is currently closed while the local authority investigates. it says it will take enforcement action, including permanent closure, should the school try to reopen. we're joined now by dame christine lenehan, the former director of the council for disabled children. thank you for talking to us. i really upsetting scenes in that report. can you give us an understanding as to how a school gets to a situation where pupils are being treated and spoken to like that? ~ ., , ., being treated and spoken to like that? . ., i. being treated and spoken to like that? ., , , , being treated and spoken to like that? ., , , that? what you can see is very poor leadership- — that? what you can see is very poor leadership. there _ that? what you can see is very poor leadership. there is _ that? what you can see is very poor leadership. there is poor _ that? what you can see is very poorj leadership. there is poor leadership at the school and a pool culture. you see a really strong leadership, staff who are well trained and

with water and sunscreen. this latest greek heatwave has been deadly. an american tourist was reportedly found dead on mathraki island on sunday. and a dutch holiday—maker was found dead on samos over the weekend. this followed the recent death of british tv presenter dr michael mosley on the island of symi. winds from north africa have been putting up temperatures. in crete, you can see the heat rising off the beach. there is a haze of dust across the athens skyline. the ancient parthenon temple was temporarily shut to tourists after temperatures hit a2 degrees. severe heat is also affecting cyprus. schools have closed, and wildfires have broken out in paphos. people had to be evacuated to hotels as fire threatened their homes. turkey is also battling with temperatures over a0 degrees. authorities in istanbul

so, we're never going to forget, you know. my daughter now is never going to go back on a ride, you know. like, it'sjust — people need to know. just, it needs to be safe. why is not safe? why wasn't it safe? why? it's like, why, why, why? and we'll have an exclusive interview with silvana—rose and her family on our programme later. in other news, nearly two weeks after a fire in a block of flats in hackney, none of the 50 residents who were evacuated have been able to return home. many from the property on dalston lane, in hackney are living in hotels and say they're unable to sleep due to uncertainty over their future. housing association peabody, which is responsible for the building, says it's prioritising more comfortable places to stay. the actor, sir ian mckellen is said to be "in good spirits" in hospital, after he fell off stage in the west end. the 85—year—old was in a fight scene in player kings at the noel coward theatre, when he lost his footing.

the audience was then informed that the show was cancelled. a theatre spokesperson said he's expected to "make a speedy and full recovery" and will return to the production soon. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line between wembley park and baker street. and minor delays on the northern line between morden and camden town, now onto the weather with kate. good morning. for many of us it is a bright start once again this morning. but already the cloud is coming up from the south. it did create this beautiful sunrise at twickenham, however. now we have got some sunshine, especially north of the m4 this morning. but you see the cloud moving up. that's going to continue. it could bring some light and patchy rain to the south—east. temperatures today, 21 celsius. so, in the sunshine it is still going to feel warm. overnight tonight we will see any showers fading. the cloud breaking up, but there will still be some patchy cloud. the minimum temperature not dropping much below ten celsius.

so, a relatively mild night. tomorrow, this ridge of high pressure continues to build in. it is looking dry, fine and sunny for wednesday. the wind is light as well. in that sunshine the temperatures getting up to 21, or even 22 celsius. now as we head further through this week, it is staying fairly settled. but some potentially fairly heavy rain overnight thursday into friday. it should clear as we head through friday. and temperatures getting a little bit warmer by the end of the week. there's more on our website and social media, including what a red arrows pilot sees when they fly across london. head online to see the amazing footage. that's it — i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. time is running out if you still need to register to can vote in the general election. with just over two weeks

to go until polling day, millions of eligible people are being urged to sign up register to have their say onjuly 4th, ahead of the deadline at midnight tonight. it comes as a new campaign featuring celebrities, influencers and sports stars is hoping to encourage more of us to sign up to vote. our home editor mark easton reports. do you hear that? no? that is the sound of the voices of millions of eligible voters in the general election. because they haven't registered, no one can hear what they have to say. in this part of central manchester official turnout is usually around 56%. but that is 56% of registered voters. if you count the tens of thousands who are eligible to vote, but not on the electoral register, true turnout is nearer 46%. ml electoral register, true turnout is

whole process, there are other things you need to get on with. i think what the campaign today is saying is, the voices of young people are really, really important. for the reason i was saying in the film, actually, because if young people aren't in that conversation, if they aren't having their vote, putting their x in the box, then the politicians back down in london will not regard them when they do their analysis, will not necessarily regard that age group at such a priority. there are certainly many people within that age group who feel they are not a priority. bbs people within that age group who feel they are not a priority. 9696 of pensioners — feel they are not a priority. 9696 of pensioners are _ feel they are not a priority. 9696 of pensioners are already _ feel they are not a priority. 9696 of pensioners are already on - feel they are not a priority. 9696 of pensioners are already on the - pensioners are already on the register, but two thirds, around two thirds of 18 to 24—year—olds... that thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds. .. that is probably — thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds. .. that is probably about _ thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds. .. that is probably about 2 _ thirds of 18 to 24—year—olds... trust is probably about 2 million. that is a very significant number of people. enough, actually, probably to change the result of the election. there is a lot at stake. i think for young people there is a need for us to encourage them to see this as that old parfait film made it sound, it

is our civic duty to go out and vote. it is a good thing. you feel like you are participating in something. you have got until midnight tonight. it is actually really straightforward. you literally go on to the government website, registeryour literally go on to the government website, register your vote. you can do it. if you have a national insurance number you can do it in three minutes.— insurance number you can do it in three minutes. you get your national insurance number— three minutes. you get your national insurance number on _ three minutes. you get your national insurance number on your _ three minutes. you get your national insurance number on your payslip. i insurance number on your payslip. exactly right. it insurance number on your payslip. exactly right-— exactly right. it is hard to complain _ exactly right. it is hard to complain about _ exactly right. it is hard to complain about what - exactly right. it is hard to complain about what any| exactly right. it is hard to _ complain about what any government does if you haven't expressed your opportunity to direct that government in the future, yeah? i government in the future, yeah? i was in a very poor part of manchester yesterday, just chatting to people. and that sense of disconnection, the sense that they only ever turn up when they're after your vote and they disappear again, there are neighbourhoods, i'm sure you know them, where you do feel that they are being ignored, nobody is cleaning the streets, nobody is looking after them. in those more deprived parts of our country it is

easy for people to feel completely disconnected from power and actually, you're absolutely right, unless people do do that, and make their marks, even spoil your ballot paper if you feel that is what you want to say, that is better than doing nothing, because then somebody, somewhere, with a great big spreadsheet will see your tiny marketing all those numbers, and thatjust might make difference. actually, you know what? we need to take a bit more note of those people. it take a bit more note of those --eole. , , , take a bit more note of those --eole. ,, , ., _ people. it is super easy. the deadline _ people. it is super easy. the deadline is _ people. it is super easy. the deadline is today. _ people. it is super easy. the deadline is today. it - people. it is super easy. the deadline is today. it doesn't| people. it is super easy. the - deadline is today. it doesn't take lona ? it deadline is today. it doesn't take long? it really — deadline is today. it doesn't take long? it really is. _ deadline is today. it doesn't take long? it really is. golf— deadline is today. it doesn't take long? it really is. golf .uk, - long? it really is. golf .uk, registered to vote. you get it done in less than the time it takes to make a cup of coffee. if in less than the time it takes to make a cup of coffee.— in less than the time it takes to make a cup of coffee. if you are a student and _ make a cup of coffee. if you are a student and you _ make a cup of coffee. if you are a student and you go _ make a cup of coffee. if you are a student and you go between - make a cup of coffee. if you are a student and you go between your| student and you go between your unique place and your parents�* com, or you are not a student but have been living between different addresses... b. been living between different addresses. . .— been living between different addresses... . ., ., , addresses... a lot of people feel that. addresses... a lot of people feel that- you — addresses... a lot of people feel that- you can — addresses... a lot of people feel that. you can actually _ addresses... a lot of people feel that. you can actually choose - addresses... a lot of people feel. that. you can actually choose where you are going to be on election day.

that is one way of looking at it. or register where you live most of the time. there are different ways of doing it. you have to choose one place. you can't have more than one vote. but actually, it is really straightforward. an address that you use and you can register there. thank you so much for coming in. and thanks for talking to mark if he spoke to yesterday. a reminder, the address you need... gov.uk. time is running out. you have to do it by midnight tonight. indeed. let us find out the latest on the euros with sarah. thank you. let's start with france striker killian mbappe. he suffered a bit of an injury. france have kicked off their euro 2024 campaign with a win, but their 1—0 victory over austria was overshadowed by an injury to kylian mbappe.

here's his moment of brilliance which led to an austria own goal in the first half. he missed a big goal chance himself however in the second half in a bit of a mixed night for him. france made to work hard for the three points and didier deschamps' side will now face the netherlands on friday. and all the talk now will be on mbappe's availability, after this moment in the second half. the french striker clashing with austria defender kevin danso. the blow left him covered in blood before he left the pitch with a broken nose, as confirmed later by the french football federation, he didn't need surgery but will have a mask made to protect him. no news yet as to when he may be available again. earlier in the day, there was a huge upset as slovakia beat belgium 1—0 — ivan schranz with the goal afterjust seven minutes. romelu lukaku missed several chances for belgium and then had two second half goals ruled out by the video assistant referee.

and that wasn't the only surprise result. romania recorded their first victory at a european championship in 24 years after beating ukraine 3—0. their only previous win at the euros came in 2000 when they beat england 3—2 in the group stage. later today, cristiano ronaldo will make it 11 major international tournaments, when portugal get their campaign underway against czech republic. the 39—year—old made his euros debut 20 years ago and helped his country lift the trophy back in 2016. he's the capped male player in international football history, with 206 appearances for portugal. elsewhere today, georgia will make their debut at major men's football tournament when they take on turkey. well, scotland will be in action again tomorrow after their opening loss to germany on friday, steve clarke's side play switzerland. so let's get to our correspondent nesta mcgregor, who is live in frankfurt for us.

for two matches. unless scotland make it past the group stages his tournament is over. in cologne tomorrow night will be scotland against switzerland. if we switch our attention to frankfurt on thursday night, this is where england will play denmark. knowing that a win against denmark will see them progress to the knockout stages of the competition. england, 1—0 winners over serbia in their opening match. jude bellingham the standout star. showing why he is one of the best players on the planet and why he is so talked about. a quieter night for phil foden and harry kane. england boss gareth southgate has come out in their defence, saying you can't expect players to star in every single game and he expects as england go through the tournament each player will have their moment. england trained yesterday. certainly the 12 players who didn't feature in that game. for the rest of them it was a recovery day. still no sign of

luke shaw, the manchester united left back, brought over here with an injury. still to play. a lot of people saying he could be left footed balance england need. he could play on thursday night. nesta mcgregor there. cameron norrie's preparations for wimbledon aren't exactly going to plan. yesterday he was replaced as the british number one byjack draper and then lost in the opening round at queen's. norrie was beaten in three sets by milos raonic. it went all the way to a tie—break in the decider, which the canadian won 11—9. he also hit 47 aces — a record in a three—set match. that was norrie's second successive defeat on home soil after losing in nottingham earlier this month. meanwhile, jack draper is playing some of the best tennis of his career, after winning his first atp tour title at the weekend. his three—set win over matteo berretini in stuttgart couldn't have come at a better time. draper is back in action this afternoon at queen's, where he'll face argentina's mariano navone. before that, andy murray and dan evans play their

first round matches. murray says that he's focussing on playing tennis rather than retirement. when i have arrived here i am focusing on the tournament and my training sessions and trying to improve and trying to get better, and looking at my draw and seeing who i am going to play in preparing for that, who i am going to play in preparing forthat, ratherthan who i am going to play in preparing for that, rather than the sort of nostalgia being, you know, back here again and potentially it being the last time for me. so, yeah, i haven't felt, you know, too many emotions yet this year. katie boulter is another briton who's showing great form ahead of wimbledon. she's playing in edgbaston later after she too picked up a title at the weekend. the british number one beat karolina pliskova to win the nottingham open for back to back titles there, as she now targets a place in the world's top 20. boulter will play ukraine's anhelina kalinina in the first round and finally, we've got a feast of football at the euros, but if that's not enough for you,

then you needn't worry. next season's premier league fixtures will be announced at nine o'clock. manchester city are aiming to win the title for the fifth consecutive season. elsewhere, ipswich town are waiting to learn who their first premier league opponents for 22 years will be. they're returning to the top flight after back—to—back promotions. you'll be able to get all the fixtures on the bbc sport website and app as soon as they are announced. we will have the team working very quickly. that has done it. that is the summer over. we are talking about the autumn. iam autumn. i am not sure i can watch that slow motion of killian mbappe breaking his nose. maybe give us a health warning next time. thank you, sarah. from the face of prime—time saturday night telly, to the cobbles of coronation street, tv legend les dennis has seemingly done it all since he first appeared

on the electoral roll. extreme heat warnings for millions of americans ahead of what could be their longest heatwave in decades. president putin will visit north korea today for the first time in 24 years, as he praises the country for "firmly supporting" russia's war in ukraine. good morning. a fairly cloudy is doubtful some of us this morning with patchy rain. that will give way to bright intervals, sunny spells and showers. we are live on the allotment to talk slugs, _ we are live on the allotment to talk slugs, rain — we are live on the allotment to talk slugs, rain and the bbc weather presenter's eternal search for summer~ _ it's tuesday, the 18th ofjune. our main story.

millions of eligible people are being urged to register to vote in order to have their say in the general election, ahead of the deadline at midnight tonight. previous voters who have moved address, changed their nationality, or their name will also need to re—register. it comes as parties return to the campaign trail today, with just over two weeks left until polling day. our political correspondent ben wright has the latest. labour's campaign is captured in one word and so far it is a pitch keeping sir keir starmer�*s party miles ahead in the opinion polls. yesterday, the labour leader pledged to change football governance rules to prevent any super league—style breakaways by english clubs. today, the party is highlighting plans to create 350 new banking hubs in britain's towns — a move the party claims would bring cash to high streets and help to keep pubs and other shops open.

rishi sunak warned voters yesterday not to give labour a blank cheque on polling day. the prime minister knows the situation looks bleak for the tories but said he believes he can win. his tactic is to relentlessly criticise and question labour's tax plans. council tax is the latest focus and the tories say labour should rule out scrapping referenda on council tax hikes — an attack labour described as hysterical and desperate. 3, 2, 1... cheering. while the two main parties slug it out, the liberal democrat leader ed davey seems to be having far more fun than his rivals. today, the party is again focusing on cleaning up dirty water, with a pledge to recruit 100 new water—quality inspectors, as part of a plan to clamp down on sewage—dumping water companies. as a campaign quickens towards polling day onjuly 4th, campaigners are encouraging people to register to vote. one of our biggest slogans is,

if you don't do politics, politics will do you. and by that we really do mean, do we want other people to make decisions about our lives when we are the experts in our own lived experience? politics can often feel too far fetched, too out there, too high a level when in reality, we are experts of our own lived experience. nearly 2 million applications to vote have been made since the election was called and if you are not already registered to vote, you have until midnight tonight to ensure you can cast a ballot. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffmanjoins us now from westminster. henry, its deadline day. but the message is it's really easy to register to vote. unbelievably easy. you go to the government website, register to vote. it takes five minutes. it is easy but there is not long left. you

given, they want them to go to the polls. whatever you think about stay to play and however you might want to play and however you might want to change it, you only get the chance if you register to vote and there are only a few hours left to do so. we'll be speaking to the green party's co—leader adrian ramsay at 8.30am this morning. tojoin us for that. to join us for that. we have also been speaking plenty about the weather this morning. extreme weather this morning. extreme weather predicted for the united states. warnings have been issued. millions of americans have been told to brace themselves for potentially dangerous heat, with temperatures soaring in some parts of the north east and midwest to around 41 degrees celsius. meanwhile, tourists visiting parts of the mediterranean this summer are being told to prepare for extreme weather — with greece currently experiencing its earliest heatwave on record. our reporter aruna iyengar has the details.

who were evacuated have been able to return home. many from the property on dalston lane, in hackney are living in hotels, and say they're unable to sleep due to uncertainty over their future. housing association peabody, which is responsible for the building, says it's prioritising more comfortable places to stay. the actor sir ian mckellen is said to be "in good spirits" in hospital after he fell off stage in the west end. the 85—year—old was in a fight scene in player kings at the noel coward theatre, when he lost his footing. a theatre spokesperson said he's expected to "make a speedy and full recovery", and will return to the production soon. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. now onto the weather with kate. good morning.

for many of us it is a bright start once again this morning. but already the cloud is coming up from the south. it did create this beautiful sunrise at twickenham, however. now we have got some sunshine, especially north of the m4 this morning. but you see the cloud moving up. that's going to continue. it could bring some light and patchy rain to the south—east. temperatures today, 21 celsius. so, in the sunshine it is still going to feel warm. overnight tonight we will see any showers fading. the cloud breaking up, but there will still be some patchy cloud. the minimum temperature not dropping much below ten celsius. so, a relatively mild night. tomorrow, this ridge of high pressure continues to build in. it is looking dry, fine and sunny for wednesday. the wind is light as well. in that sunshine the temperatures getting up to 21, or even 22 celsius. now as we head further through this week, it is staying fairly settled. but some potentially fairly heavy rain overnight thursday into friday. it should clear as we head through friday. and temperatures getting a little bit warmer by the end of the week. there's more on our website

and social media, including what a red arrows pilot sees when they fly across london. head online to see the amazing footage. that's it — i'm back just after nine. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. with just over two weeks to go until polling day, parties are heading back on the campaign trail today to set out their offer to voters in the forthcoming general election. among them, the green party of england and wales who are pledging an additional £5 billion for arts and culture, alongside further funding for additional sectors. bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been taking a look at the numbers. good morning. the big thing you need to know about the green plan is it promises a lot more spending than the other big parties, and a lot more tax to pay for it. let's start with the spending. have a look here at this list.

53 billion for health care. 30 billion for income support. billions more for education, transport, overseas aid. the plan amounts to 160 billion a year extra in day—to—day spending. there is also 90 billion more a year from capital spending too, the bulk of that on creating a greener economy. so, a lot of money, a lot more than the other parties are promising. bear in mind labour are planning about 10 billion of extra spending every year. this is a whole other level. next question, how to pay for it? here is the list the greens are providing. big increases, as you can see, in personal tax, much of it a new wealth tax, which will be 1% on people with assets of more than £10 million, 2% on assets of above £10 billion. the greens are hoping for a massive 91.3 billion through carbon taxes, taxes,

raising 172 billion extra in total every year. the greens also say they would allow themselves just under 80 billion in extra debt annually to fund some of their plans too. there is no doubt this would be a massive change. but among the experts there is some scepticism. the institute for fiscal studies says it's doubtful they could raise the 90 billion they want for carbon taxes. the ifs also reckons it would be tough to implement the big wealth tax that the greens are planning. others have said the plans don't include enough detail to assess properly. so, from the greens, big plans with a big cost, also some big questions about whether it would work. and we'rejoined now by the co—leader of the greens, adrian ramsay. good morning. thank you for coming in and speaking to us. we heard nick they're saying big plans, big costs.

the two main parties are falling over themselves to say they are not going to raise taxes. the greens taking a different tack? istate going to raise taxes. the greens taking a different tack?- taking a different tack? we are indeed and _ taking a different tack? we are indeed and we _ taking a different tack? we are indeed and we are _ taking a different tack? we are indeed and we are doing - taking a different tack? we are indeed and we are doing that i taking a different tack? we are - indeed and we are doing that because we have an nhs which is severely overstretched, people struggling to get access to a doctor or a dentist. we have got a housing crisis where there are a million people on the waiting list for housing. we have sewage in our rivers, bills escalating in energy and food, and all of these things need investment. if we are to tackle the cost of living crisis, if we are to create the jobs by insulating living crisis, if we are to create thejobs by insulating peoplehomes, and put the investment in that is needed to both defend and restore our nhs and social care. we are setting out a vision for how that can be done because sadly there is a conspiracy of silence in the selection between labour and the about the fact that, as the institute for fiscal studies has said, the next government will have to cut public services or increase taxes. the green party are setting

out a vision for how we could ask those with the broadest shoulders to pay modestly more in tax in a way that will enable us all to benefit. too many people are having to fork out for private dentists if they can afford to do so, or having to pay exorbitant fees for their train fare, or having skyrocketing energy and food bills. we want a set of solutions that would bring down the costs of those things to everybody�*s benefit. we think it is reasonable to ask those with the broadest shoulders to do more for a greener future. ., ., , future. you mentioned the institute for fiscal studies. _ future. you mentioned the institute for fiscal studies. they _ future. you mentioned the institute for fiscal studies. they have - future. you mentioned the institutej for fiscal studies. they have looked through your plans independently and say even what you are talking about raising, the carbon tax, they are doubtful it would raise enough money. they are questioning whether your maths add up?— your maths add up? well, when the bbc analysed _ your maths add up? well, when the bbc analysed our _ your maths add up? well, when the bbc analysed our manifesto - your maths add up? well, when the bbc analysed our manifesto last - bbc analysed our manifesto last week, you quoted the university of warwick and a professor who said that our plans are economically credible, and that is because they have been developed in consultation

with a range of experts in different sectors. for example, researchers and organisations working on the idea of a wealth tax. but the ifs is not convinced? they have actually applauded some of our proposals, for example, in relation to closing loopholes on inheritance tax, one of the things we feel needs to be done to make the tax system fairer. we do need to look at ways of putting the investment in to tackle the fact that the nhs is severely overstretched. i have spent more time than i was expecting to in the norfolk and norwich hospital in recent months, supporting a close family member who has been in the health system and is now in the care system. it isjust health system and is now in the care system. it is just severely overstretched. there are patients in corridors, staff doing an incredible job but theyjust don't have the time to look after the individual patients, make sure they are getting the care and support they need. the same with our care system as well. there is no way round it. but

needing to put the investment in. what we are proposing in terms of the proportion of gdp that would go into being raised from taxes, the uk is near the bottom of the european league table in that at the moment. our proposals are mainstream by european standards but we have seen both the conservatives and labour rode back so far in terms of the money they are willing to raise to put into public services, that they are actually on the extreme here. so we are proposing a set of proposals that will create a better future. and real change, we hope. that is why we need a group of green mps in the next parliament. i am not going to see it here and tell you that we are expecting to form the next government, but we are confident of having a group of green party mps in the neck next parliament will stop labour are proposing timid changes in backsliding all the time in climate and public service funding. if we have a group of green mps, if we have a greater diversity of voices in parliament, we can push

them to take a real action that is needed, scrutinise their proposals, keep them honest, and offer real hope and real change on these big issues of our time. you hope and real change on these big issues of our time.— issues of our time. you have mentioned — issues of our time. you have mentioned wealth _ issues of our time. you have mentioned wealth taxes - issues of our time. you have mentioned wealth taxes a i issues of our time. you have - mentioned wealth taxes a number of times. in reality, what will that mean? . . . . times. in reality, what will that mean? ,_ . ., mean? the specific proposal we have set out in consultation _ mean? the specific proposal we have set out in consultation with _ mean? the specific proposal we have set out in consultation with experts i set out in consultation with experts is that over —— those with over 10 million in wealth and assets will be asked to pay 1% on wealth and assets over that 10 million level, and 2% over that 10 million level, and 2% over1 billion. we are talking about the multimillionaires and billionaires. that would bring in 15 billionaires. that would bring in 15 billion a year by the end of the next parliament. as i say, in consultation with experts. we are looking at what other countries like spain and switzerland have done in taking this approach. the reality is if we are going to have scandinavian and european levels of our health services and public services, we are not going to get that with a us level of tax system. we are being honest in this election, that if we want to bring about that change, if

we want to restore our nhs, transition to a green economy which can bring our bills down, support farmers to produce more food locally, support our schools which are crumbling and have not had the investment needed to support all pupils, including those with special educational needs, all of those things need investment. and we're setting out how that can be done with the right ambition. you setting out how that can be done with the right ambition.- setting out how that can be done with the right ambition. you say you are realistic— with the right ambition. you say you are realistic about _ with the right ambition. you say you are realistic about the _ with the right ambition. you say you are realistic about the number - with the right ambition. you say you are realistic about the number of. are realistic about the number of mps you might get in parliament. obviously there is only one day that matters, one poll that matters, and thatis matters, one poll that matters, and that is onjuly the 4th. if the opinion polls are vaguely right at the moment we are potentially looking at a labour party government with potentially a big majority. i just wonder if we are looking at a majority for a labour government and the kind of size the polls are suggesting, how much sway with a handful of green party mps have? you are handful of green party mps have? m. are absolutely right, we are on track for a labour government with a big majority. that is why i would directly encourage people to vote

with your hearts in this election because it is an opportunity to really say the sort of future we want, that we want real help and real change. people are saying to me on the doorstep... ii real change. people are saying to me on the doorstep. . .— on the doorstep... if you had one or two green — on the doorstep... if you had one or two green party _ on the doorstep... if you had one or two green party mps _ on the doorstep... if you had one or two green party mps among - on the doorstep... if you had one or. two green party mps among the 650 in the house of commons, really, how much difference are they going to make? how would they sway any government with a big majority? i think the new government and the keir starmer would quite like it if they didn't have a range of voices scrutinising what they are doing, but it makes for a better democracy if there is a greater range of voices there. people are saying to me on the doorstep all the time in east anglia, where i am from, that they are thinking about what the future is going to be like for their children and grandchildren in terms of the environment, in terms of public services, in terms of our education system. and if we have green voices in parliament, we can hold out a new government honest, we can scrutinise what they are doing, press them to tackle these defining issues of our time. that is why we

have such a great opportunity at this election. you mentioned the polls. but actually, there are 650 different elections happening in different elections happening in different constituencies and there are so many places on the ground, brighton pavilion, bristol central, waverley and others, where the greens have a strong record on the ground and i got a fantastic chance of electing green party mps, to hold the government to account, push them in the right direction and represent local residents when it comes to july the 4th. local residents when it comes to july the 4th— local residents when it comes to jul the 4th. �*, ., ~ ., july the 4th. let's talk about some ofthe july the 4th. let's talk about some of the specific _ july the 4th. let's talk about some of the specific proposals _ july the 4th. let's talk about some of the specific proposals you - july the 4th. let's talk about some of the specific proposals you are i of the specific proposals you are putting forward. vladimir putin is visiting north korea. there is a feeling at the moment in the world that people are very uncertain. the green party want to get rid of the nuclear deterrence policy. it is now the time to be doing this, is now the time to be doing this, is now the time to be doing this, is now the time to be having this in your manifesto?— the time to be having this in your manifesto? ~ , ., , ., , manifesto? well, people are rightly worried about _ manifesto? well, people are rightly worried about the _ manifesto? well, people are rightly worried about the international - worried about the international conflicts in the world. we need an approach based on trying to de—escalate those, support countries like ukraine that are facing horrific invasions, support the

people of gaza, who are in a horrific situation with ada being blocked. we have been clear we want a bilateral ceasefire, we want the hostages released and international pressure needs to be brought to bear. if you look at your question specifically on trident nuclear weapons, there are retired army generals, former defence secretaries like michael portillo, who have said that trident is not the answer to the security threats we face today. and i think that the defence spending is far better put into our army personnel, who do a greatjob both in defending our country and in humanitarian work around the world. before you go we have had some messages from viewers asking why you have two leaders in the green party, does that not die due to your messaging? i does that not die due to your messaging?— messaging? i think we live in a modern world _ messaging? i think we live in a modern world of— messaging? i think we live in a modern world of work - messaging? i think we live in a modern world of work were - messaging? i think we live in a - modern world of work were outside of politics it is more common to have flexible working, to have more collaborative ways of working. and having two leaders means you have

two sets of skills, two brains, a collaborative approach. we are based on different sides of the country. i am in east anglia, carl is in bristol. we share the same set of green values, so we usually agree. but actually, it is common in politics and in life to have disagreements. and you need collaborative ways to work with other people, to find ways forward. i signed thejo cox foundation prize for more in common for more civility in our politics. and i think in politics in general we need to be looking for ways in which we can needed on the sorts of issues we talked about today.— needed on the sorts of issues we talked about today. thank you so much. i talked about today. thank you so much- i know _ talked about today. thank you so much. i know you _ talked about today. thank you so much. i know you have _ talked about today. thank you so much. i know you have to - talked about today. thank you so much. i know you have to go - talked about today. thank you so - much. i know you have to go because you arejoining nicky much. i know you have to go because you are joining nicky campbell. much. i know you have to go because you arejoining nicky campbell. that is from nine o'clock.

hundreds of thousands of football fans are making their way to germany to watch the euros. and as the major summer of sport continues with the olympics starting in just six weeks, even more of us will be travelling abroad. but there are some people arriving only to find the accommodation they booked on a third party website isn't what they expected. take a look at this. booking.com says it's investigating after scotland fan rory bradley posted these pictures online. he said their accomodation was like something out of a horror movie. you can see abandoned hospital beds, and even an axe. he said it was like being sent to a dungeon. here are some more of the pictures he took. you can see here what looks like a bed made of cardboard and held together by duct tape, while a sofa bed was described as "broken and disgusting". and it didn't get much better. he said that after speaking to three different customer service advisors, the group was provided alternative

accommodation, but were met by this, a rather dirty apartment. a spokesperson for booking.com said... "we are urgently looking into this and understand that the customer is now at another property, and will ensure they receive a full refund". so just how common is this issue, and what can you do to make sure you're not caught out? consumer expert lisa webb has this advice. i would say look for red flags when you're looking for your accommodation. a few things to consider is whether or not the price of the property seems to match the property itself. if it looks too good or too cheap, then it probably isn't legitimate. some other things to consider are whether or not the owner of the property is trying to take you off— platform. now we know a lot of scams occur off platform. by that, i mean taking you away from the likes of booking.com or airbnb.

those platforms offer the ability for you to pay through them. because the second you leave those platforms, you also leave their protections behind and that means you can get scammed very easily. the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calderjoins us now. it's a really big issue, isn't it? especially with these big events. maybe a place you wouldn't normally go to, you are there, what do you do if you get there and find it is not right? it if you get there and find it is not rirht? . if you get there and find it is not rirht? , , if you get there and find it is not rirht? , ., , ~ right? it is absolutely horrible. a dunreon right? it is absolutely horrible. a dungeon with — right? it is absolutely horrible. a dungeon with chemicals, - right? it is absolutely horrible. a| dungeon with chemicals, exposed wire. _ dungeon with chemicals, exposed wire. and — dungeon with chemicals, exposed wire. and a — dungeon with chemicals, exposed wire, and a random axe. it sounds worse _ wire, and a random axe. it sounds worse than — wire, and a random axe. it sounds worse than my house! seriously, if you are _ worse than my house! seriously, if you are booking for a big event like the euros. — you are booking for a big event like the euros, which has got absolute massive _ the euros, which has got absolute massive pressure, and you are going through— massive pressure, and you are going through one — massive pressure, and you are going through one of these online sites, they are _ through one of these online sites, they are simply able, under the terms _ they are simply able, under the terms and — they are simply able, under the terms and conditions, to say, sorry, all we _ terms and conditions, to say, sorry,
