6:01 am
stonehenge this morning. thousands still celebrating the first sunrise following the solstice. while the sun stays here all day long, for some in the west there is change in the way. details on breakfast. good morning. it's friday, the 21st ofjune. lindsey burrow has told bbc breakfast that her husband rob made the world a better place to be. speaking for the first time since his death three weeks ago, she also revealed that rob left personal messages for their children, which she's not yet ready to hear. john maguire reports. rob and lindsey burrow married in 2006, having first met as teenagers. hello, girls. how was your day at school, my little princesses? since his diagnosis with motor neurone disease four and a half years ago, they faced the condition together as a couple and as a family. i couldn't put into wordsjust how proud i am of rob. i think he wasjust such an inspiration to so many people.
6:02 am
he was the face of the mnd community for so many people and gave so many people hope. and i think the legacy that he leaves isjust incredible. and despite the grief and despite the sadness, we have so much to be thankful for, for having rob in our lives. and, you know, he made the world a better place to be. and the world knows rob's story because of his decision to share it with everyone. a private family who went public in order to raise money and awareness, to inform and educate people about living with mnd. his impact has been huge, as has the reaction to his death. we've had so many special messages, and the one that really sticks out, the one that is so special to me, was a message, a personal message, as a parent, from his royal highness, the prince of wales, and that was really heart—warming, really sincere. and that's something that we will treasure as a family forever.
6:03 am
his rugby league club, leeds rhinos, has been the focal point for tributes. the flowers, the scarfs, the shirts, are a testament to how he was loved and admired, and have been great comfort to lindsey and their three young children. it was really overwhelming, i think, to see the support and the tributes. and what really struck me was that it wasn't just from the leeds rhinos community, it was from all walks of the rugby community. and i think that's what rob's done, is brought, you know, a community together through the rugby, through mnd. it was a real privilege and honour to see those, and really heart—warming to see all the tributes. i am just a lad from yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing rugby league. as a father of three young children, i would never want any family to have to go through what my family and children have since my diagnosis. his final message, recorded on a machine he controlled with his eye movement, was seen and read by millions. but he also left some private ones. i know rob has left messages on there for the children.
6:04 am
so at the minute it's too raw to do that, to go and look through the machines. but there are birthday messages on there. there are messages for the future, the children in the future. his family now face that future without him, but with the comfort from knowing that in his life, rob burrow achieved so much and touched so many people. and in the years to come, through his fundraising and his specialist mnd centre, his legacy will be very much assured. john maguire, bbc news. five minutes past six. naga, you have more, comments from the prime minister by the betting allegations to do with the general election. he says he is incredibly angry. yes, he did. this was last night. it came after it emerged the gambling commission announced it is looking into the actions of four people.
6:05 am
including the conservative party's director of campaigning and his wife, laura saunders, who said she was co—operating with the commission. mr sunak was speaking on bbc�*s question time, which also featured the leaders of labour, the snp and the liberal democrats. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting at the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only shall they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged —
6:06 am
that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway. the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson. a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... 0k, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election.
6:07 am
applause. to the snp�*sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause. i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses. are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader
6:08 am
i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mps as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. we'll be speaking to labour's deputy leader angela raynerjust after 8.30. and the panorama interviews continue this evening, as nick robinson speaks to reform uk leader nigel farage. that's on bbc one and iplayer at 7pm tonight. the consumer group which says three popular types of sun lotion offer less protection than they claim. after testing 26 sunscreens, the group said products from calypso sun, bondi sands and asda failed to pass all the checks. asda rejected the claims
6:09 am
and calypso sun said all its products were carefully tested. bondi sands did not comment. a warning has been issued overfake versions of ozempic — the diabetes drug used by some people to lose weight. the world health organisation has urged people not to buy products online or through social media, as they could be counterfeit and harmful. the british medical association says it's ridiculous that qualified gps can't find enough work in england, despite high demand for appointments. the union says some locum doctors are unable to get shifts at practices, at a time when patients are struggling to access care. a gang of hackers has published patients' sensitive data stolen from an nhs blood testing company which serves several london hospitals. all the group has been trying to extort money since the attack, almost three weeks ago. 0ur reporter louisa

6:12 am
in saudi arabia, hundreds of people are thought to have died during this year's hajj pilgrimage. muslims travel from across the world to make the spiritualjourney to mecca, the holiest city in islam, but struggled as temperatures soared to more than 50 degrees celsius. aleem maqbool sent this report. in the searing heat of western saudi arabia, walking for several hours a day, surrounded by many hundreds of thousands of others, performing the five days of the hajj is an arduous undertaking at the best of times. some thrive in the adversity, but each year, hundreds also die of conditions related to heat exhaustion. it may be months until we get the full picture, but given temperatures reached nearly 52 degrees celsius, there have been fears the number that died this year could be much higher than normal. over the years, the saudi authorities have introduced sprinkler systems, tunnel routes and water stations across the massive pilgrimage area, and issue advice
6:13 am
to use umbrellas and avoid walking in the hottest parts of the day. they've also tried to control numbers with strict quotas, but many religiously motivated use unofficial routes to get around them, given its incumbent on every muslim with the means to go on hajj at least once in their lifetime. aleem maqbool, bbc news. just coming up to 14 minutes past six. a centenarian has been given the chance to live out her childhood dream of riding in a police car. 100—year—old gwen lewis got to sit in the front seat with the officers. she went on a patrol of her local area, keeping a keen eye out for anyone up to mischief, before heading home for tea and cake with the officers. meet essex police's newest crime fighter, albeit for one day only. gwen lewis certainly has more life experience than most. so this is the radio. so if anything does go off, they'll call us on this radio. do you want to know what the call sign is?
6:14 am
isit...? no, it's not...! when gwen was a little girl, her piano teacher's husband was a police officer, and used to joke with her that she needed to behave herself. now it was her turn to ensure nobody was up to any mischief. put that one on there for you. she certainly wore the hat well, accompanied by some fighting spirit. when gwen posed for pictures, she cheekily asked if she was going to be the police's new pin—up. she described her day as lovely, and said she thoroughly enjoyed it. but one thing is clear — gwen is not to be messed with. simon jones, bbc news. that is a very funny picture at the end. to ask if she would be the new pin—up, very funny. she clearly had a lot of fun. beautiful views, as you can imagine, on sunny days when the summer solstice happens. for 5,000 years, as the sun rises
6:15 am
on the summer solstice and sets on the winter solstice, an ancient spectacle takes place at stonehenge. as dawn broke atjust after ten to five this morning near salisbury, thousands of people including druids and pagans gathered to watch as the sun rose behind the entrance to the stone circle, channelling the light into the middle of the monument. that is quite a spectacle. still a mystery, isn't it, how it was all placed there and positioned perfectly? matt knows the answer to all the mysteries in the world. don't you, matt? morning. i all the mysteries in the world. don't you, matt? morning. i don't think so! good _ don't you, matt? morning. i don't think so! good morning. - don't you, matt? morning. i don't think so! good morning. i - don't you, matt? morning. i don't think so! good morning. i was - think so! good morning. iwas chatting to someone. i think we know less about the stones that we don't know, if you know what i mean. i think i am making sense. it has been a long morning so far. good morning from stonehenge. still thousands of people here. about 15,000 people
6:16 am
here this morning to watch the sunrise coming up. it is only twice a year the public can get close to the stones as they have done this morning. that is the summer solstice and the winter solstice. and what a day for it. lots of sunshine around. shall we look at the forecast? warm sunshine to come across most parts of the uk today. but it will be a case of western areas will see cloud and eventually some rain spilling its way in. a little bit of cloud in western parts this morning. damp conditions to start the day in the north—west of scotland. across other areas of the west the cloud will thicken it up. even if you see morning sunshine, outbreaks of rain developing in northern ireland. by the end of the day western fringes of scotland, wales and england could see some wet weather. central and eastern parts, even of cloud increases, sunshine around. 22 degrees in the east, 15 to 17 in the
6:17 am
west. that rain travels eastwards through the night. it becomes lighter and patio. through the night. it becomes lighterand patio. nothing more through the night. it becomes lighter and patio. nothing more than lighter and patio. nothing more than light rain or drizzle in the morning across parts of central and eastern england. that will keep the temperatures up into double figures. as for saturday, plenty of cloud in central and eastern areas of england to begin with. damp and drizzly for some. slowly brightening up. more cloud in the afternoon. some isolated showers. further north and west, plenty of sunshine. rain arrives in the north—west of scotland later. temperatures down a little bit on today. as we go into sunday they will lift again. more sunshine across the uk after some overnight rain. details in half an hour. thank you, matt. some people enjoying the scene and chilling out. it has been a long night.
6:18 am
looks beautiful. 18 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. the telegraph focuses on sir keir starmer�*s comment during question time thatjeremy corbyn would have made a better prime minister than borisjohnson. the guardian reveals that former energy minister for the conservatives, chris skidmore has said he will vote for the labour party injuly. mr skidmore is accusing the prime minister of politicising the climate crisis. the times reports the number of weddings in england and wales have surged after the pandemic. the numbers in 2022 were up more than 12% numbers in 2022 were up more than i2% from 2019. let's finish with the express which leads with one—year—old dexter. dexter has cystic fibrosis and will now have access to a life changing drug after the nhs approved treatment in england. we are going
6:19 am
to be talking about this and getting more details just after half past seven. a couple of stories from the papers for you. the times reporting... you know these mega deals for back catalogues? didn't paul mccartney sell his? now sony, apparently, are buying the band queen's music rights for a reported £1 billion. the back catalogue. that's not everything they do. it'sjust catalogue. that's not everything they do. it's just their back catalogue. in amongst the detail, why it's been complicated, two years in the making, reportedly, is that unusually for a band, all four members of the band, only some of whom clearly are still alive, wrote number one singles. so that not normal. most bands, the writing honours go to one or two people. in the band they all wrote bohemian
6:20 am
rhapsody, freddie mercury, we will rock you, bryan may, another one bites the dust byjohn deacon, and radio gaga by taylor, the drummer. it's complicated, apparently, the legal negotiations, as to who gets what. if you are listed as the main writer you get the money? yes, you get the greater spoils, i suppose is the way it works. £1 billion is the number attached to that. the money is just bonkers. 20 minutes past six. the united nations is warning that more than one—million people in gaza are facing catastrophic levels of starvation by the middle of next month. israel is under pressure to get more aid across the border, and doctors fear the situation will only get worse, especially for young children. 0ur correspondentjon donnison sent this report from jerusalem. and a warning — there are some distressing images right from the start. this is what eight months
6:21 am
of war in gaza has done to a nine—year—old boy. younis is severely dehydrated and malnourished. his mother is by his hospital bedside in khan yunis. translation: my son - was in excellent health before. he was normal, but when he developed his malnutrition and dehydration, he became as you see. for almost a full week, he was too ill and stopped eating and drinking correctly. along the corridor is five—year—old tulla. herfather, ibrahim, tries to offer comfort, but he knows scorching weather, close to 40 degrees, and a lack of clean water have brought his daughter close to death. translation: the situation is getting worse. _ you can't imagine the temperature in our tent, and the water you drink is definitely contaminated, because both old and young are getting sick. and with their houses destroyed,
6:22 am
hundreds of thousands of gazans are now living under canvas, with little protection from the scorching sun. getting water, whether its clean or not, is a daily struggle. long queues form at distribution centres. the un says two thirds of the strip�*s water and sanitation system, poor at the best of times, has been destroyed. translation: we need - a tremendous international effort to re—establish water and sewage networks. we in khan younis have lost between 170 and 200 kilometres of pipes, which have been completely destroyed, along with the wells and the water tanks. the united nations has warned more than a million gazans are facing the highest level of starvation by the middle ofjuly. the international criminal court prosecutor has accused israel of using starvation as a weapon of war. israel strongly disputes this, and its ministers have denied there is a humanitarian crisis. for younis and his mother though,
6:23 am
it doesn't feel that way. jon donnison, bbc news. we can speak now to dr margaret harris from the world health organisation. thank you for your time this morning. i'm not sure if you were able to see the pictures from that report there. a nine—year—old boy and a five—year—old girl in desperate circumstances. this is something you are seeing replicated on the ground?— on the ground? charlie, that is correct. this _ on the ground? charlie, that is correct. this is _ on the ground? charlie, that is correct. this is something - on the ground? charlie, that is correct. this is something we i on the ground? charlie, that is - correct. this is something we have formed about four months and months. this is something that we, the world, should not be seeing. it is the culmination of continual starvation for months and months and months, starvation of resources, nothing coming in, or limited to
6:24 am
things coming in and no ability to deliver them safely to the people who need them. but also the massive damage to the infrastructure, so that the water is not clean. people are living amid rivers of sewage. we are living amid rivers of sewage. we are seeing the numbers of diarrhoea cases, particularly under children, in children underfive, rise exponentially and adjust drastically. hunger, dehydration and diarrhoea are a death sentence for children under five. tn; diarrhoea are a death sentence for children under five.— children under five. try to explain to us how you _ children under five. try to explain to us how you calibrate _ children under five. try to explain to us how you calibrate these - to us how you calibrate these things? the line at the united nations and the world health organization are using now is that 0rganization are using now is that the gals and people are facing the highest level of starvation by the middle ofjuly. what does that mean? there is an expert group called the international rpc, and iforgotten the acronym, apologies, but they are
6:25 am
people who are expert in assessing this, and they continually monitor looking at people, looking at what is going in, what particular condition is. back in march, they warned of imminent famine. that was averted because supplies did get in april. and things stabilised a little. then we had the rafah incursion. basically, it has been extremely difficult to get anything in. they are about to present their findings. and certainly, there is no doubt from the assessments by those experts, but also by exactly what we're seeing on the ground, there is no doubt that people are in the most deplorable conditions, and that the only answer is that of those who are negotiating a ceasefire takes this seriously. and on behalf of humanity do something about it.— do something about it. periodically, crossinas do something about it. periodically, crossings to — do something about it. periodically, crossings to open _ do something about it. periodically, crossings to open to _ do something about it. periodically, crossings to open to a _ do something about it. periodically, crossings to open to a certain - crossings to open to a certain degree. there are moments in time
6:26 am
and then the situation is chaotic, to say the least. what do you know about the current situation in terms of aid getting in?— of aid getting in? you're right. the crossin: of aid getting in? you're right. the crossing does _ of aid getting in? you're right. the crossing does open _ of aid getting in? you're right. the crossing does open now— of aid getting in? you're right. the crossing does open now and - of aid getting in? you're right. the crossing does open now and then. | crossing does open now and then. sometimes we get trucks across, sometimes not. one of the problems is convoys, if we can get them agreed to, get stopped at checkpoints for hours and hours and hours. so even if we have got a clear plan, we are going to a clear place, it may not happen that day. the other thing that is happening, we are seeing really serious rise in lawlessness, what we call self distribution. that is basically people grabbing whatever they can from the trucks and running off. it is getting more and more violent and desperate because people are desperate. it is becoming increasingly dangerous for the humanitarian organisations to even provide what little aid they can. and it's very important to understand that as the occupying power, israel is responsible for
6:27 am
ensuring that there is adequate aid to all the people who are caught up in this, all of the civilians should be provided with it under international humanitarian law. we appreciate your time. doctor harasses from the world health organization. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. more than two weeks after a cyber—attack hit hospitals in south—east london, health bosses say its "continuing to have a significant impact". the disruption was caused when hackers targeted lab services firm synnovis. more than a thousand planned operations and more than 2,000 appointments have had to be postponed. the medical director for nhs london said staff are working to rearrange them as quickly as possible. prepare to see and hear and whole lot more about taylor swift over the coming days as the us superstar�*s eras tour
6:28 am
comes to the capital. the singer is due to play eight nights at wembley stadium from tonight. in total nearly 640,000 fans are expected to attend. according to the mayor's office, the shows could help to add around £300 million to london's economy. there are nowjust five weeks to go until the olympics, and one person preparing to go for gold is canoeist mallory franklin. the 30—year—old from windsor took silver in the slalom in tokyo and has won 16 world championships, making her britain's most successful woman in the sport. she's now hoping to add another medal to her tally in paris. it's been a really tough year, but i think canoeing is one that if you can be psychologically just present and being able to be calm and allow your body and mind to react to whatever�*s going on, you can kind of deal with everything else. and i think i'm trying to, like, move towards that place and hoping going out to paris on sunday and being in that environment will kind of allow everything to settle a bit more, as well.
6:29 am
a pub in chelmsford in essex has been renamed during the euros to honour one of the england squad. the wheatsheaf�*s new sign is a tribute to west ham starjarrod bowen. while he's not from the area, the owners said the footballer born in herefordshire is loved by local fans and is welcome there any time. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line between acton town and rayners lane. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's a bit of a cool start this morning with a few patches of mist and fog, especially across parts of essex. but today we are looking at a largely dry and bright day, and once more we'll see some decent spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud, and feeling warm in the sun. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, though, but they will be few and far between. a lot of dry weather this afternoon, and feeling warm in the sun as temperatures climb up to around the low to mid 20s — 25 celsius is possible this afternoon. a dry evening to come but then, overnight tonight, we have this weather front arriving
6:30 am
in from the west, bringing with it some outbreaks of showery rain, some mist and murk, and temperatures dipping down to only around 12 to 14 celsius, so quite a mild night in store. it means quite a drizzly start to saturday, but it's an improving story with some sunny spells. and sunday, too, should be largely dry with some sunny spells around, although there may be a bit more in the way of cloud at times, the odd shower, and temperatures gradually starting to rise to the start of next week — maybe reaching the high 20s for many. that's your forecast. over on bbc radio london, riz will be talking all things taylor swift and will be speaking to the uk's first female chief paramedic. that's it — i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it's been three weeks since rob burrow�*s death, and his wife

6:33 am
with rob, you know, and that's what we have to focus on now, and the children are my priority and i'll do everything i can to make sure that they're brought up just exactly as rob would want them to be brought up — to be kind and caring and to appreciate the things in life. and rob was very much like that — you know, he was very down to earth, never had an ego, just such a lovely, lovely, kind man. and i'm so grateful i got to call him my husband. i know you have had an incredible number of messages from around the world. some of them have been very special, haven't they? the one that really sticks out, the one that is so special to me was a message — a personal message — as a parent from his royal highness, the prince of wales. and that was really heart—warming, really sincere. and that's something that we will treasure as a family forever. who's got the most tries out of you two? 0h, him bya long way. laughter. him by a long way. i think he knows that, as well, doesn't he? yeah, is he laughing?

it teaches us all, doesn't it, to live in the moment, to be brave — whatever your battle, your personal battle. he lived by every word of, you know, facing your battle and not giving in. and, you know, he's taught us all a huge lesson in life. however thanks of course to lindsey for letting us into her home, making sure that rob's legacy will live on and all the work that they have done for the mnd community. and and all the work that they have done for the mnd community. and sharing the smiles and _ for the mnd community. and sharing the smiles and letting _ for the mnd community. and sharing the smiles and letting us _ for the mnd community. and sharing the smiles and letting us into - for the mnd community. and sharing the smiles and letting us into their i the smiles and letting us into their relationship, the banter, the things she talks about, very lovely. mike is here. last night, what happened? i was surrounded by england fans and at the end they were so deflated and frustrated but you have to remember england are still top of the group, they should still qualify for the

6:39 am
thought we were really poor, to be honest. we weren't taking risks. we just sat back and... overall, we were just really boring to watch. the attack, the defence — it was not a very good game. weren't great, was it? it wasn't good — just boring. i think we've got the talent, i don't think we've got the manager! ijust think the tactics need to change. the play... we've got the players there. we have the best attacking players, possibly in the whole tournament, i and we're not using them well. we're playing too defensive. again, same thing every tournament. there's just that tiny bit, just not quite there. that's unfortunate. it's unfortunate. god save the king plays. with the prince of wales watching on, hopes of a suitably regal performance never materialised — although briefly it was all looking so good. harry kane sending england into an early lead, and their thousands of fans into deafening celebration. but from there, england were sluggish, sloppy — and how denmark hit back. morten hjulmand with a stunner
6:40 am
as the danes began to dominate, and england began to toil. after the break, phil foden hit the post — but that was a rare highlight. indeed, denmark were the better side, and could so easily have won it on what was for england a difficult night. clearly not what we would have hoped. there's a huge amount of work — that's evident from the two performances that we've given — but we have to stay tight. we understand that people will be disappointed with the performances, and rightly so, and we've got to make them better. i know there'll probably be loads of noise and a bit of disappointment back home. but we experienced this in the last euros, as well, when we drew to scotland. so it's just a time to stay calm, a time to reflect and try and improve for sure. but, step by step, we'll get there. well, the boos that rang round this stadium won't have made easy listening for england's players. a draw against slovenia on tuesday will guarantee them a place in the knockout stage.

and eastern england to begin with. things are slowly brightening through the day, still one or two show as possible into the afternoon but most will be fine. away from that, lots of sunshine to begin, saturday before we see patchy rain and cloud arrive in the final west of scotland during the day and tomorrow, away from those spots in the west with the cloud and rain today, for most of you, may be a degree or so down on what we are seeing through this afternoon. three saturday night to sunday, clad in patchy rain will push southwards once again, fizzling but leaving a legacy applied through parts of england and wales for sunday, which will slowly break up to some sunny spells, best of the sunshine in the north and west and if anything on sunday it will feel a bit warmer than saturday and those temperatures are set to climb even further as we go into the start of next week. we could see temperatures in scotland by tuesday 25 degrees, maybe 27 or 28 towards the south—east of england. that is how the weather looks from a glorious scene here in stonehenge will stop back to you

prepare to see and hear and whole lot more about taylor swift over the coming days as the us superstar�*s eras tour comes to the capital. the singer is due to play eight nights at wembley stadium from tonight. in total nearly 640,000 fans are expected to attend. according to the mayor's office, the shows could help to add around £300 million to london's economy. there are nowjust five weeks to go until the olympics, and one person preparing to go for gold is canoeist, mallory franklin. the 30—year—old from windsor took silver in the slalom in tokyo and has won 16 world championships, making her britain's most successful woman in the sport. she's now hoping to add another medal to her tally in paris. it's been a really tough year, but i think canoeing is one that if you can be psychologically just present and being able to be calm and allow your body and mind to react to whatever�*s going on, you can kind of deal with everything else. and i think i'm trying to, like, move towards that place and hoping going out to paris on sunday and being in that environment will kind of allow everything
6:58 am
to settle a bit more, as well. a pub in chelmsford in essex has been renamed during the euros to honour one of the england squad. the wheatsheaf�*s new sign is a tribute to west ham starjarrod bowen. while he's not from the area the owners said the footballer born in herefordshire is loved by local fans and is welcome there any time. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's a bit of a cool start this morning with a few patches of mist and fog, especially across parts of essex. but today we are looking at a largely dry and bright day, and once more we'll see some decent spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud, and feeling warm in the sun. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, though, but they will be few and far between. a lot of dry weather this afternoon, and feeling warm in the sun as temperatures climb up to around the low to mid 20s — 25 celsius is possible this afternoon. a dry evening to come but then, overnight tonight, we have this
6:59 am
weather front arriving in from the west, bringing with it some outbreaks of showery rain, some mist and murk, and temperatures dipping down to only around 12 to 14 celsius, so quite a mild night in store. it means quite a drizzly start to saturday, but it's an improving story with some sunny spells. and sunday, too, should be largely dry with some sunny spells around, although there may be a bit more in the way of cloud at times, the odd shower, and temperatures gradually starting to rise to the start of next week — maybe reaching the high 20s for many. that's your forecast. over on bbc radio london riz will be talking all things taylor swift and will be speaking to the uk's first female chief paramedic. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... rob burrow�*s wife lindsey
7:00 am
pays tribute to her husband, after the rugby league legend died earlier this month, from motor neurone disease. i think the legacy that he leaves is just incredible. and despite of the grief and despite the sadness we have so much to be thankful for, for having rob in our lives. he made the world a better place to be. the prime minister says he's "incredibly angry" over allegations of conservative candidates betting on the election, as the four main party leaders face questions from an audience of voters. people with cystic fibrosis will continue to have access to a life—changing drug, after the treatment is approved for nhs patients in england. not what we'd hoped for. england remain on course to qualify but england manager gareth southgate is left to reflect on a performance which raises questions over their chances at the euros.
7:01 am
i am in stonehenge this morning. we were here to see the first sunrise following the solstice. thousands remain, making the most of the sunshine. while most of you have sunshine. while most of you have sunshine and warmth today, more in the way of rain in the west. details on breakfast. good morning. it's friday, the 21st ofjune. lindsey burrow has told bbc breakfast that her husband rob made the world a better place to be. speaking for the first time since his death three weeks ago, she also revealed that rob left personal messages for their children, which she's not yet ready to hear. john maguire reports. rob and lindsey burrow married in 2006, having first met as teenagers. hello, girls. how was your day at school, my little princesses? since his diagnosis with motor neurone disease four and a half years ago, they faced the condition together as a couple and as a family.
7:02 am
i couldn't put into wordsjust how proud i am of rob. i think he wasjust such an inspiration to so many people. he was the face of the mnd community for so many people and gave so many people hope. and i think the legacy that he leaves isjust incredible. and despite the grief and despite the sadness, we have so much to be thankful for, for having rob in our lives. and, you know, he made the world a better place to be. and the world knows rob's story because of his decision to share it with everyone. a private family who went public in order to raise money and awareness, to inform and educate people about living with mnd. his impact has been huge, as has the reaction to his death. we've had so many special messages, and the one that really sticks out, the one that is so special to me, was a message, a personal message, as a parent, from his royal highness, the prince of wales, and that was really heart—warming, really sincere. and that's something that we will treasure
7:03 am
as a family forever. his rugby league club, leeds rhinos, has been the focal point for tributes. the flowers, the scarfs, the shirts, are a testament to how he was loved and admired, and have been great comfort to lindsey and their three young children. it was really overwhelming, i think, to see the support and the tributes. and what really struck me was that it wasn't just from the leeds rhinos community, it was from all walks of the rugby community. and i think that's what rob's done, is brought, you know, a community together through the rugby, through mnd. it was a real privilege and honour to see those, and really heart—warming to see all the tributes. i am just a lad from yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing rugby league. as a father of three young children, i would never want any family to have to go through what my family and children have since my diagnosis. his final message, recorded on a machine he controlled with his eye movement, was seen and read by millions. but he also left some private ones.
7:04 am
i know rob has left messages on there for the children. so at the minute it's too raw to do that, to go and look through the machines. but there are birthday messages on there. there are messages for the future, the children in the future. his family now face that future without him, but with the comfort from knowing that in his life, rob burrow achieved so much and touched so many people. and in the years to come, through his fundraising and his specialist mnd centre, his legacy will be very much assured. john maguire, bbc news. time now is five minutes past seven. naga, you have more on comments from rishi sunak addressing the allegations of betting on the date of the general election day. he says he is incredibly angry.
7:05 am
exactly right. it came after it emerged the gambling commission announced it is looking into the actions of four people. including the conservative party's director of campaigning and his wife, laura saunders, who said she was co—operating with the commission. mr sunak was speaking on bbc�*s question time, which also featured the leaders of labour, the snp and the liberal democrats. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting at the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out
7:06 am
of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged — that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway. the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson.
7:07 am
a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... 0k, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election. applause. to the snp'sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause. i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses.
7:08 am
are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mps as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. we'll be speaking to labour's deputy leader angela raynerjust after 8.30. and the panorama interviews continue this evening, as nick robinson speaks to reform uk leader nigel farage. that's on bbc one and iplayer at 7pm tonight. in saudi arabia, hundreds of people

7:10 am
almost three weeks ago. our reporter louisa pilbeam has the latest. overnight, cybercriminals responsible for causing major disruption at london hospitals did what they had been threatening. this is qilin's darknet leak site, where they published almost 400 gigabytes of private information stolen from blood—test company synnovis. patient names, nhs numbers, date of births, and what tests they've had are in the vast data dump — now online for free for other hackers to download. it's not known if test results are included in the data. the cyberattack earlier this month was one of the worst in the uk in terms of its impact and harm caused to the public. as well as stealing data, hackers scrambled the company's it systems, causing huge disruption to operations and appointments, as doctors tried to find alternative services —
7:11 am
leading to several london hospitals declaring a critical incident, and an urgent appeal launched for blood donors. it's a very serious incident, and it's having a profound effect on quite a lot of patients. it has reduced our capacity to deal with patients — particularly elective patients, rather than emergency patients — and it will take some time to recover that. nhs england say sincejune the 3rd, more than 1,000 planned operations and more than 2,000 outpatient appointments were postponed. qilin usually charge victims a ransom fee to return systems to normal. experts say that would run into tens of millions of pounds. but the publication of this data tells us that, so far, synnovis hasn't paid a ransom. the hackers have claimed the attack was a protest against the uk government not helping out in an unspecified war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news.

7:16 am
we visit her pretty much every day. like many with experience of the care system, nicola wants fixing it to be a priority for any new government. with no savings, imelda's council pays for her care, but it doesn't cover the actual cost. nicola and her brother pay a £2,200 top up each month, so their mum can stay in the place she knows. what keeps me awake at night is the thought that i now won't have enough in my savings pot to pay if i ever need to go into care. and therefore, that financial burden will pass to my children. successive governments, they accept that this is crisis. they accept that this is something that has to be addressed, and yet they do nothing.
7:17 am
hi, brian! today's open letter to politicians underlines just how worried many are about the pressures on the care system, including councils having to juggle underfunding and increasing demand. have you been doing anything today? coffee morning. in south manchester, 59—year—old brian is paying £500 a month towards his four daily care visits. even though he's on benefits, he's now in debt. i'm behind with me gas- and electric and other bills, we're paying for the care so much. so, it is stressful and it is a worry, j because i've still got to pay- the money back at some point. his uncontrolled tremor stopped him working as an electrician. everybody needs an electrician. i didn't have worries- like this at all, you know. i since i've got poorly and all this, | it's like, they don't care any more. staff shortages are another major problem, but courtney works for a care company that tries to keep workers

by doing things differently. she's paid for the hours she's available, not, as often happens, just for time spent with clients. i love the block hours and now we do above and beyond. so if you have anything over half an hour break, if we realise someone needs a bit more attention or they're a bit more lonely, we then get paid to go back and sit with them. for that to happen more widely, councils would need to change how they buy care. the boss of courtney's company wants a national plan. we need to really recognise the skills that this workforce have got, and and support them to make that difference. but on the flip side, we've got to pay them properly. and nicola is looking for reassurance that whoever forms the new government will take action. what would you say to politicians? prove that you really want to make a difference. have the courage to do something about it. just do yourjob. # so deep in my heart that
7:19 am
you are really a part of me # i've got you...# alison holt has been looking at your questions and joins us now. good morning. shall we start with anna app morning. shall we start with anna app is my question? anna wants to know, how will each party reform our social care to free up emergency services to do the job they are meant to be doing? b, services to do the job they are meant to be doing?— services to do the job they are meant to be doing? a lot of the --eole meant to be doing? a lot of the people contacting _ meant to be doing? a lot of the people contacting us, _ meant to be doing? a lot of the people contacting us, social- meant to be doing? a lot of the | people contacting us, social care keeps coming up from people who have filled in the form on your voice, your vote. there has not been that much detail or discussion with a few exceptions around social care. but the main parties, the conservatives say they would go ahead with a planned cap, or limit to care costs of £86,000, so that would limit the amount somebody could run up during their lifetime. this is england only. the care system is devolved.
7:20 am
the other nations have a slightly more generous system. many of the pressures are the same. labour also says it would go ahead with that care cap. there are questions for both over whether or not the money is there for it. labour says it will bring in a national care service within ten years and it wants to drive up quality with locally delivered services, and it also says there would be a fair pay agreement for a star. the lib dems have had most to say on this subject. they want to put social care at the heart of their plans. they promise free personal care, a system similar to the one that exists in scotland. they also want to boost the minimum wage for care workers by £2.- wage for care workers by £2. alison, thank you- — wage for care workers by £2. alison, thank you. claire _ wage for care workers by £2. alison, thank you. claire from _ wage for care workers by £2. alison, thank you. claire from west - thank you. claire from west yorkshire says, i am one of 133,000 adults in the uk living with cerebral palsy. what she would like to know is what each party intends
7:21 am
to know is what each party intends to do to enable disabled people to fully participate in society, including the removal of barriers which prevent people from working. the best social care is all about helping people to live their lives in the way they want to live them, to enable them. labour says it is committed to ensuring everyone lives an independent, prosperous life. it believes its national care service would give families more help and improve services for working age adults with disabilities. the conservatives say they will take forward their current plans contained in the white paper, called, people at the heart of care. that aims to give more people more choice about their services and to promote their independence. the lib dems say they would provide a truly personalised care service and they would use technology to help people access the community more easily and to allow them to do more of the
7:22 am
things they want to do. thank you so much for taking us through that. it's not surprising we get so many questions coming through. that is alison holt, our social affairs editor. ahead of the general election, the bbc is giving you the chance to suggest stories you'd like your local news teams to look into. your voice, your vote will put your stories and questions at the heart of our coverage. you can submit your ideas on the bbc news online page. let's return to the general election now, and this morning we're taking a closer look at scotland. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in greenock to find out the issues which matter to voters there. midlothian is a constituency that has swung back and forth between the snp and labour for the last ten years. i think what people are wanting is a bit of change at the minute.
7:23 am
can i ask who are you going to vote for and why, then? i think probably labour this time. grandad's very independent and we kind ofjust go by what my granddad wants! so... really? he's the boss? he's the boss, he's the boss of the family. if grandad votes independent, then we all follow. layla's got a point of view about all this. baby cries. what does she think of the policy? fed up. very fed up. traditional industry has gone from here — the mines have closed. but the area's population is growing faster than anywhere else in scotland. 30 on the top deck, 30 on the bottom. dave mcdougall used to work in the pits. he now guides visitors round a former colliery—turned—national mining museum. you know the scottish word shoogle? aye. 30 men in here... for him, its local issues that matter in this election. most of the issues here is the amount of houses that are getting built, and yet the schools are full already. trying to get a doctor's appointment is impossible. do you think the politicians listen?
7:24 am
no! they say they do, but they tell lies. say one thing and mean another. there is wealth here, as well as communities with challenges. the constituency is mixed. welcome to our community food pantry. how does it work? people shop here once a week. n-s mo. — they can get their normal staples. they get free fruit and veg. free bread. more and more people here are struggling, he tells me — people like michael. before covid, he made 1,000 a week operating a digger. now on benefits, he says he's finding it difficult to make ends meet. it's terrible. i mean, iwouldjust... i'll be honest, i'vejust applied for a welfare fund today because my cooker�*s broken. being an ex—soldier, things like that, you think to yourself, "what did i pay all my stamp all them years for?" you get nothing back. what do you say to the politicians? put your finger out and sort this country out. definitely.
7:25 am
somebody needs to. it's either that or we're all doomed. at a nearby community garden, a younger generation are learning new skills alongside volunteers. a mix of local concerns and fears about the money in their pocket among the issues that matter to them. well, for me just now, it would be transport. transport would be a big thing. what matters to you? the cost of food and living. mm! — i'd agree with that, ethan. would you? oh, no, absolutely. i think that's a priority for me. we need superheroes now. we need more than politicians. you know, it's such a big hole in the uk at the minute. there is hope. it... it is a carrot on a stick that we have to keep fighting towards, but it is there. just a snapshot, but anger, worries and cynicism among the voters here — and from some, hope, too.
7:26 am
that is how voters in midlothian feel. what about here in the west? i am in greenock, on the banks of the cloud. this part of the river used to be rammed with ships taking people to america. others are being built. now you get cruise ships and containerships. and a couple of walkers yesterday. this town has pockets of wealth but there are also pockets of wealth but there are also pockets of wealth but there are also pockets of extreme deprivation and problems with drug use and crime. i am going to speak to some of the people here and find out what matters to them. christine, what are theissues matters to them. christine, what are the issues that matter to you? i was the issues that matter to you? i was at the dentist _ the issues that matter to you? i was at the dentist yesterday. _ the issues that matter to you? i was at the dentist yesterday. i'm i the issues that matter to you? i was at the dentist yesterday. i'm lucky enough _ at the dentist yesterday. i'm lucky enough to— at the dentist yesterday. i'm lucky enough to have an nhs dentist. i travelled — enough to have an nhs dentist. i travelled 50 miles out of town just to get— travelled 50 miles out of town just to get there. travelled 50 miles out of town 'ust to get uni travelled 50 miles out of town 'ust to get therefi travelled 50 miles out of town 'ust to get there. what would you say to the politicians? _ to get there. what would you say to the politicians? they _ to get there. what would you say to the politicians? they need - to get there. what would you say to the politicians? they need to i to get there. what would you say to the politicians? they need to get i the politicians? they need to get their act together. _ the politicians? they need to get their act together. they - the politicians? they need to get their act together. they need i the politicians? they need to get their act together. they need to |

7:31 am
prepare to see and hear a whole lot more about taylor swift over the coming days as the us superstar�*s eras tour comes to the capital. today sees the first of her eight gigs at wembley stadium. in total nearly 640,000 fans are expected to attend. according to the mayor's office, the shows could help to add around £300 million to london's economy. there are nowjust five weeks to go until the olympics, and one person preparing to go for gold is canoeist mallory franklin. the 30—year—old from windsor took silver in the slalom in tokyo and has won 16 world championships, making her britain's most successful woman in the sport. she's now hoping to add another medal to her tally in paris. it's been a really tough year, but i think canoeing is one that if you can be psychologicallyjust present and being able to be calm and allow your body and mind to react to whatever�*s going on, you can kind of deal with everything else. and i think i'm trying to, like, move towards that place and hoping going out to paris on sunday
7:32 am
and being in that environment will kind of allow everything to settle a bit more, as well. a pub in chelmsford in essex has been renamed during the euros to honour one of the england squad. the wheatsheaf�*s new sign is a tribute to west ham starjarrod bowen. while he's not from the area the owners said the footballer born in herefordshire is loved by local fans and is welcome there any time. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between west croydon and sydenham. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's a bit of a cool start this morning with a few patches of mist and fog, especially across parts of essex. but today we are looking at a largely dry and bright day, and once more we'll see some decent spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud, and feeling warm in the sun. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, though, but they will be few and far between. a lot of dry weather this afternoon, and feeling warm in the sun as temperatures climb up to around the low to mid 20s — 25 celsius is possible this afternoon. a dry evening to come but then,
7:33 am
overnight tonight, we have this weather front arriving in from the west, bringing with it some outbreaks of showery rain, some mist and murk, and temperatures dipping down to only around 12 to iii celsius, so quite a mild night in store. it means quite a drizzly start to saturday, but it's an improving story with some sunny spells. and sunday, too, should be largely dry with some sunny spells around, although there may be a bit more in the way of cloud at times, the odd shower, and temperatures gradually starting to rise to the start of next week — maybe reaching the high 20s for many. that's your forecast. there's more on our website and on bbc radio london — riz will be talking about taylor swift mania and how it's sweeping the capital. that's it, i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. it's been hailed as a fantastic

any more. being able to just have more time, i think that is a big thing, to be able to have more time to do the everyday things and to live and everyday life instead of having to apportion my day with, therapy, nebulisers, making sure i take my medication all the time or even more that i have to take in the future. so it really has given back a lot of life to me and lots of other people around the uk and around the world, as well stop it is so important that something like this is around so that there is a normality in our lives.- this is around so that there is a normality in our lives. craig, i am lad we normality in our lives. craig, i am glad we got _ normality in our lives. craig, i am glad we got to — normality in our lives. craig, i am glad we got to talk— normality in our lives. craig, i am glad we got to talk to _ normality in our lives. craig, i am glad we got to talk to you - glad we got to talk to you eventually and get the technical gremlins kicked out of the building. thank you so much, and good luck to you, thank you for explaining what this means. it really makes an impact. thank you.— this means. it really makes an impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank ou to impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you- _ impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you- i _ impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you. i hear _ impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you. i hear a _ impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you. i hear a little - impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you. i hear a little noise i impact. thank you. ceilidh, thank you to you. i hear a little noise in| you to you. i hear a little noise in the background there. is it still

7:44 am
in frankfurt. it is beautifully sunny and warm on the longest day. but i can see someone with an umbrella, the rain dampening the mood of the england fans, which is why you had taken shelter indoors. reflective of what is going on at the moment, it feels. it is a strange one. england still on course to qualify yet boos ringing out. harry kane scored but was substituted. there is negativity around the performances from england which leaves many wondering if they can really go all the way. i am joined by tony and matt of the morning after. tony, you were there last night, where is it going wrong for england despite seemingly being on course to qualify? ! for england despite seemingly being on course to qualify? heel! for england despite seemingly being on course to qualify?— on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar _ on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar to _ on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar to what _ on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar to what we - on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar to what we saw- on course to qualify? i feel it is very similar to what we saw in l very similar to what we saw in russia and what we saw in the heros at home when we seem to settle for an early goal. as we did against croatia and we seem to take our foot off the gas, allow them to have all

off the gas, allow them to have all of the play, did the game against. of the play, did the game identity mikey serbia they may not have the quality to break us down and you can afford to maybe play that way. it is very negative to watch but i guess it paid off against the serbian team but if you play a half decent team, a team with a bit of quality and give them the ball for large periods of the game eventually they will break you down, take a chance and all of a sudden you are level i do have to go again and i feel like we don't have that killer instinct, the ruthlessness to go out and get the second goal. you ruthlessness to go out and get the second goal-— ruthlessness to go out and get the second aoal. ., .., .y. ., second goal. you both cycled all the wa out second goal. you both cycled all the way out here! _ second goal. you both cycled all the way out here! where _ second goal. you both cycled all the way out here! where you _ second goal. you both cycled all the way out here! where you keen - second goal. you both cycled all the way out here! where you keen to i second goal. you both cycled all the i way out here! where you keen to jump straight back on your bicycle and head back to england? might have been less of— head back to england? might have been less of a _ head back to england? might have been less of a chore _ head back to england? might have been less of a chore but, - head back to england? might have been less of a chore but, no, - head back to england? might have been less of a chore but, no, not. been less of a chore but, no, not tempted — been less of a chore but, no, not tempted to— been less of a chore but, no, not tempted to go backjust yet. it wasn't — tempted to go backjust yet. it wasn't the most thrilling watch. after— wasn't the most thrilling watch. after putting in the effort you think— after putting in the effort you think you would get something in return— think you would get something in return but— think you would get something in return but it is football, these things— return but it is football, these things happen. we will qualify from the group. — things happen. we will qualify from the group, that there is no doubt, but it— the group, that there is no doubt, but it would — the group, that there is no doubt, but it would be nice to see the

7:48 am
after beating the defending champions italy 1—0. spanish dominance was rewarded in the second half, when riccardo calafiori put the ball into his own net. italy play croatia in their final game, knowing a win would guarantee progression to the last 16. that was almost like a striker�*s finish! from a win for spain, to defeat for a spaniard. defending wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz was beaten in straight sets by new british number one jack draper at queens. after draper — there in the yellow — took the first set against alcaraz on a tie—break, draper built on that in the second on his way to sealing arguably the biggest win of his career. he will face american tommy paul in the quarter finals this afternoon. england's cricketers will be looking to build on their victory in their super eights opener at the t20 world cup when they take on south africa later in saint lucia. meanwhile, india got off to a winning start in the super eights as they beat afghanistan by 47 runs in barbados. elsewhere this morning, australia have beaten bangladesh
7:49 am
in a rain—affected match to maintain their 100% record at the tournament. and on global mnd awareness day, it's rather fitting that it's going to be a poignant night for leeds rhinos, as they play theirfirst home game since the passing of club legend rob burrow earlier this month. it will be a capacity crowd, therefore, as they face leigh leopards. last night, hull kr moved level on points with wigan and saint helens at the top of the super league, thanks to a narrow win at castleford. with the scores tied at 12—12, jez litten's drop goal sealed the points for the robins. there we go. it will be dry, at least. such a poignant and emotional night for those fans packing into headingley as they celebrate the life of rob burrow and all he has done for mnd.— why not have a look at an amazing

in the �*70s soon passed. closer than you think. but donald sutherland was never out of work. everything i'm going to tell you is classified top secret. jfk was almost a throwback to the �*70s paranoid conspiracy thriller. why was kennedy killed? and more recently, it was the hunger games, a film that he hoped might inspire a little rebellion... i've been watching you... .in today's youth. ..in today's youth. ..and you watching me. yet, despite it all, there was no best actor oscar on his mantelpiece. however, that wasn't, he said, what drove him. it's a love affair, you know. i've made films for fellini, for bertolucci, for chabot, for werner hertzog, for rebecca horn. these people i love, and that love is the greatest award you can ever have in your life. and leading the tributes to donald sutherland, his son kiefer. his father, he said, loved what he did and did

community, and gave so many people hope. and i think the legacy that he leaves is just incredible. and despite the grief, and despite the sadness, we have so much to be thankful for, for having rob in our lives. and, you know, he made the world a better place to be. after he died, you wrote some beautiful words about him. and at the end of your statement, you call him "our hero". what he did over the last few years — it was heroic, wasn't it? because it was a fight at times. yes, yeah. and at the end, he'd... you know, the fight was over and i take comfort from knowing that he's not having to fight any more. and he put up the biggest, bravest fight. he was brave on the rugby pitch, but to go on what he did, you know, in facing his battle with mnd was just hugely courageous, and that makes me incredibly proud. i'm incredibly proud to have been rob's wife for 17 and a half years, to have three beautiful children with rob, you know, and that's what we have to focus on now, and the children are my priority and i'll do everything i can to make
8:04 am
sure that they're brought up just exactly as rob would want them to be brought up — to be kind and caring and to appreciate the things in life. and rob was very much like that — you know, he was very down to earth, never had an ego, just such a lovely, lovely, kind man. and i'm so grateful i got to call him my husband. i know you have had an incredible number of messages from around the world. some of them have been very special, haven't they? the one that really sticks out, the one that is so special to me was a message — a personal message — as a parent from his royal highness, the prince of wales. and that was really heart—warming, really sincere. and that's something that we will treasure as a family forever. who's got the most tries out of you two? oh, him bya long way. laughter. him by a long way. i think he knows that, as well, doesn't he? yeah, is he laughing? yeah, he is. so rob got to meet prince william back injanuary when he was awarded a cbe. he came to headingley, and just a really genuine, sincere future king,
8:05 am
i think, of the country and, you know, that's again, a day that we'll remember and treasure forever. and to get that message from prince william, it's given us a lot of comfort and will always hold a special place in my heart. you've got such a great support network around you, rob, between lindsey and the children. how has their support and love influenced your outlook and ability to cope with mnd? and i am fortunate to. have a wonderful wife, three beautiful children, a loving family and a lot| of friends, and enjoyed - an incredible career in a sport i love. i have been fortunate through mnd ito have been able to help others, i and that is something that i am proud to do _ his last message has been seen and read by millions and millions of people around the world. i am just a lad from yorkshire who got to live out his dream | of playing rugby league. i hope one day we live in a world free of— i hope one day we live in a world free of mnd~ _ tell us about when he recorded it — because you heard it,
8:06 am
obviously, as he recorded it. you helped him. yeah. that must have been an incredibly difficult moment for you. but also, knowing what rob was like, i can't imagine it was desperately serious, either. rob burrow, over and out. yeah. when i first saw the message, i my initial thought was, "rob, you can't say that," you know? but that was just rob. he was, you know, positive, he was humorous, he was funny. and that was his just way of, you know, leaving a stamp on the world. and i think that was just rob in a nutshell. so, you know, after the initial "i don't think that's really right to put", you know, i respected his wishes and that's the way he wanted to go out. and, you know, rob knew that that was going to be played after he was no longer with us. and it's just part of rob and his humour and the banter. and it was just rob. do you mean the "over and out"? yes, yeah, the "over and out" bit. but i think the message — it teaches us all, doesn't it, to live in the moment, to be brave — whatever your battle, your personal battle.
8:07 am
he lived by every word of, you know, facing your battle and not giving in. and, you know, he's taught us all a huge lesson in life. we know for the last couple of years, rob was using his eyegaze machine to communicate with you. on that machine, there are messages you haven't heard yet. when the time is right, will you go through and look for them? yeah, i know rob has left messages on there for the children. voice breaks: so at the minute it's too raw to do that, _ to go and look through the machines. but there are birthday messages on there. there are messages for the future — the children in the future. eventually, you will be able to do that. yeah, i will. i think things are just a little bit too...too raw at the moment and... but there will come a day where i will have to do that and...yeah, rob will be with me and it'll be... you know, he'll. ..
8:08 am
he'll give me the strength to do that. and it's important because those are the messages for the children and they will be shared with the children. and i know one of the things right at the start of this that both you and rob said was, you wanted to use the little time you had to make memories for the children. mm—hm. when you look back now and you think of all the things you've done over the last few years — you know, taking him away to places with his parents here in this country, having, like, the holidays that you could have... award ceremonies, red carpets, the dance shows. you have done that, haven't you? yeah, we have. that was what rob wanted. and rob was always such a family man, as i say, in every sense of the word. he idolised his children. and it was really important to us that we made those happy memories and we spent that time together. but rob was such a devoted dad that, you know, he would come home from training earlyjust to be with the children. and that was just rob. he was just such a family man. and that's the hard part for me —
8:09 am
that's what mdn has taken away — it's robbed the children of a dad — and that's...that�*s really hard. do you get angry about that? no, because...| just put it down to bad luck. lovely, rob! you know, nobody knows in life what path it's going to take us on and. . .i just feel so fortunate to have been rob's wife and to have the privilege of looking after rob. we can't change that what's happened. and when i spoke to rob and he said he wouldn't change his life — you know, there was nothing that he would change — and that's really comforting to know that he...had an incredible life and achieved so much. so, yeah, just incredibly proud.
8:10 am
and of course our thanks to lindsey for sharing so much, the smiles, the moments and indeed still, of course, coping with her own grief. ten minutes past eight. naga, you are going to pick up on a story, rishi sunak�*s comments, saying he's incredibly angry, and this relates to the investigation on betting on the election. absolutely. the gambling commission is looking into the actions of four people, including the conservative party's director of campaigning and his wife laura saunders who is a conservative candidate. she says she's co—operating with the commission. mr sunak was speaking on bbc�*s question time, which also featured the leaders of labour, the snp and the liberal democrats. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming.
8:11 am
allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting at the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged — that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway.
8:12 am
the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson. a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... ok, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election. applause. to the snp�*sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause.
8:13 am
i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses. are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mps as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's
8:14 am
happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. we'll be speaking to labour's deputy leader angela rayner just after half eight. and the panorama interviews continue this evening, as nick robinson speaks to the reform uk leader, nigel farage. that's on bbc one and the iplayer at 7pm. hundreds of people have died in extreme heat during the hajj pilgrimage in saudia arabi. temperatures have soared to more than 50 degrees celsius as pilgrims journeyed to mecca, the holiest city in islam. those who died came from more than 20 countries, with sources in egypyt saying more than 500 citizens have died, and indonesia confirming at least 200 deaths. the consumer group which says three types of sun lotion offer less protection than they claim. the creams — by calypso sun, bondi sands and asda — failed to pass all the checks.
8:15 am
calypso sun said all its products are carefully tested, bondi sands did not comment and asda rejected the claims. a gang of hackers has published a huge cache of patient data — including names, nhs numbers and what tests people have had. the information was stolen three weeks ago from a blood testing company which serves several nhs hospitals in london, and the group has been trying to extort money since the attack. the search continues for a british teenager who has gone missing in tenerife. 19—year—old jay slater travelled to the island with friends for a music festival, but has not been heard from since monday. our reporter nick garnett is in tenerife. good morning. you have spoken to friends of this young man, jay slater. but also, describe to us the weather conditions there and the journey we think he might have been

8:17 am
were focusing on yesterday. i have to say it is quarter past eight, nobody here apart from us. there are nobody here apart from us. there are no emergency crews here. there is no search going on at the moment even though it has been light for an hour. does that mean they have moved somebody correct or somewhere else or are they starting later? it is difficult to know where it goes from here but the family are absolutely distraught and doing everything they can do to try to find out what has happened. thank you ever so much for that. nick there, nick garnet in tenerife. 18 minutes past eight. a centenarian has been given the chance to live out her childhood dream of riding in a police car. don't worry, she wasn't arrested — ioo—year—old gwen lewis got to sit in the front seat with the officers. it isa it is a great picture. this tells

8:19 am
great picture. matt will have something to argue with that. it is the summer solstice today, an estimated 15,000 people gathered at stonehenge to watch the solstice. —— sunrise. —— sunrise. one of them is matt, who'll give us the latest weather. it was an evening and morning of the spiritual eye is a senior at stonehenge. first sunrise of the summer this morning. thousands of people have been gathered behind me enjoying the spectacle and what a start to the day it has been. conditions almost perfect. let's look at the weather forecast for the rest of us to see if the sunshine will be as widespread. across central and eastern areas it will be for many today. in the west we will see more cloud and it will turn white. the wind picking up as well.
8:20 am
wet weather in the north west of scotland this morning. that eases for a time but more to come later. northern ireland will see the bulk of the rain today, especially in the middle part of the day. eventually those showers push into western scotland, western wales and western england. in the sunshine, 20 to 2a degrees. 15 to 17 in the west. outbreaks of rain in the west pushed eastwards through night. nothing more than light rain and drizzle in central and eastern england into tomorrow morning. temperatures shouldn't drop much. as for saturday, the north and west will see more sunshine compared to today. a cloudy and damp start in central eastern england, low cloud and drizzle breaking up. temperatures down a little bit on today for southern and eastern areas. in the west a bit more sunshine, light breeze, a touch warmer, and warmer still as we go through into sunday
8:21 am

8:30 am
successful woman in the sport. she's now hoping to add another medal to her tally in paris. it's been a really tough year, but i think canoeing is one that if you can be psychologically just present and being able to be calm and allow your body and mind to react to whatever�*s going on, you can kind of deal with everything else. and i think i'm trying to, like, move towards that place and hoping going out to paris on sunday and being in that environment will kind of allow everything to settle a bit more, as well. a pub in chelmsford in essex has been renamed during the euros to honour one of the england squad. the wheatsheaf�*s new sign is a tribute to west ham starjarrod bowen. while he's not from the area the owners said the footballer born in herefordshire is loved by local fans and is welcome there any time. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the overground between west croydon and sydenham. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's a bit of a cool start
8:31 am
this morning with a few patches of mist and fog, especially across parts of essex. but today we are looking at a largely dry and bright day, and once more we'll see some decent spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud, and feeling warm in the sun. we can't rule out the odd isolated shower, though, but they will be few and far between. a lot of dry weather this afternoon, and feeling warm in the sun as temperatures climb up to around the low to mid 20s — 25 celsius is possible this afternoon. a dry evening to come but then, overnight tonight, we have this weather front arriving in from the west, bringing with it some outbreaks of showery rain, some mist and murk, and temperatures dipping down to only around 12 to 1a celsius, so quite a mild night in store. it means quite a drizzly start to saturday, but it's an improving story with some sunny spells. and sunday, too, should be largely dry with some sunny spells around, although there may be a bit more in the way of cloud at times, the odd shower, and temperatures gradually starting to rise to the start of next week — maybe reaching the high 20s for many. that's your forecast. there's more on our website and on bbc radio london —
8:32 am
riz is talking about taylor swift mania and how it's sweeping the capital. that's it, i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good charlie stayt and naga munchetty. morning to you. with less than two weeks until the general election, four party leaders have been put through their paces by the audience on a special edition of question time. they discussed a range of subjects from the nhs, to immigration, and brexit. nick eardley from bbc�*s verify has been analysing what they said. hello. yes, lots for the team to look at last night. let's start off with migration, and this from keir starmer. migration is at record levels at the moment under this government. they've completely lost control and we need to get that number down. we need to get it significantly down. this is people coming into the country with visas — not migrants in small boats —
8:33 am
and sir keir starmer was slightly wrong. net migration — which is the number of people arriving minus the number of people leaving — was at a record high last year — you can see it in green there — but it's actually come down a bit. it's still the second—highest on record, but not the highest ever. the labour leader has also said that he will bring levels of net migration down. but this is important context. it's expected to fall anyway. there are different projections — you can see these lines here — but they all involve net migration coming down. experts say that'll happen whoever is in power — partly because of student visas running out and people leaving as a result. next, let's have a look at rishi sunak. he was grilled about the nhs, and his record on waiting times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have liked, but because of the things we are doing, what you have seen over this year is waiting lists are now starting to come down.
8:34 am
this is what's happened in england. you can see that waiting lists have gone up over the last few years. and this...is the picture... if we zoom in even more recently, that red dot is when rishi sunak became prime minister. now, you can see the waiting lists are coming down from record highs here, but that progress has stalled in the last few months. and you'll notice that waiting lists in england are still higher than when mr sunak came to power. you also heard rishi sunak say this. there is more money going into the nhs today than there has been in its history, and i'm sure bbc verify, after this debate, will verify that for you. well, yes, we have. and, yes, he's right. this data is from the nuffield trust — the respected health think tank. this year — you can see it in red here — health spending, adjusted for prices, is set to be more than it's ever been — just higher than it was during the pandemic.
8:35 am
one thing to bear in mind, though, the charity the king's fund has pointed out that the rate of increase in health spending has slowed under the conservatives — particularly in the austerity years. so this could have been higher. let's look at another claim about the nhs — this time the nhs in scotland — by the snp leaderjohn swinney. scotland has the best—performing accident—and—emergency system in the united kingdom, and has had for the last ten years. you can see it has gone up in scotland since january 2022, but, yes, for most of the decade in scotland, a smaller proportion of people are waiting more than four hours in a&e compared to england and to wales. finally, let's look at the lib dem leader, ed davey. this is what he said about his party's manifesto. we put forward a very detailed, costed manifesto, and it's got a big health and social care package at the centre. it is true to say that the lib dems are promising a lot of extra cash for the health service —
8:36 am
but there are some questions from experts. have a look at this from the nuffield trust again. "the funding proposal appears to be insufficient." that's for their social care plan. secondly, the ifs on the manifesto as a whole — "there are clear risks that their package of tax measures wouldn't raise the money that they claim, which would make it harder to pay for some of those commitments." so, hopefully that was some useful context about some of the claims made last night. as ever, there is plenty more on the bbc website. joining us this morning from westminster is angela rayner, the deputy leader of the labour party. very good morning to you. thank you for your time. very good morning to you. thank you foryourtime. did very good morning to you. thank you for your time. did you watch last night? i for your time. did you watch last niuht? .. . for your time. did you watch last niuht? ., . ,., for your time. did you watch last niuht? ., . ., .,, night? i watched some of it, i was watchin: night? i watched some of it, i was watching the _ night? i watched some of it, i was watching the england _ night? i watched some of it, i was watching the england game - night? i watched some of it, i was| watching the england game before night? i watched some of it, i was - watching the england game before but i did see keir starmer and rishi sunak. , ., ., ., sunak. they were not on at the same time so you — sunak. they were not on at the same time so you could _ sunak. they were not on at the same time so you could have _ sunak. they were not on at the same time so you could have watched -

8:38 am
relates to saying what you mean and doing what you say.— doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir, doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir. we _ doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir, we both _ doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir, we both served - doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir, we both served in - doing what you say. yeah. i mean, like keir, we both served in the i like keir, we both served in the shadow cabinet because we wanted to put an opposition forward to the conservatives and that was our duty to do that. me and keir were both in the 2015 intake and it is fair to say the wheels fell off politics a little bit over the coming years after that, and we wanted to put forward a robust case and push for a labour government and we both tried to do that. but it is also very clear that we got hammered in 2019. the british public rejected labour and felt we didn't put a for the country and that is why keir, when elected as leader, said we cannot carry on like this. we have to change the labour party, we have to put a credible costed plan forward that can change britain for the better, because we have seen the disaster that we have had over the last couple of years under the conservatives. and that is why i think he is a little bit uncomfortable because in 2019 we
8:39 am
failed the british people by not putting a credible government forward and he is determined not to ever do that again. fin forward and he is determined not to ever do that again.— ever do that again. on the trust vein, i ever do that again. on the trust vein. i do _ ever do that again. on the trust vein. i do a _ ever do that again. on the trust vein, i do a compare _ ever do that again. on the trust vein, i do a compare and - ever do that again. on the trust i vein, i do a compare and contrast. the notion that at the moment there are continue —— there are senior conservative politician saying we are properly going to use, —— lose, head of a general election but we didn't hear you saying that and you clearly thought it an keir starmer has said he knew it but didn't say it out loud, which goes back to the issue of trust.— issue of trust. again, in terms of trust, issue of trust. again, in terms of trust. we — issue of trust. again, in terms of trust, we have _ issue of trust. again, in terms of trust, we have seen _ issue of trust. again, in terms of trust, we have seen over - issue of trust. again, in terms of trust, we have seen over the - issue of trust. again, in terms ofj trust, we have seen over the last couple of days conservative mps betting for a general election and doing all sorts of really dodgy deals. we have seen that over the last couple of years under the conservatives. keir has change the labour party have put forward a credible programme and none of us wanted to lose in 2017 and 2019. i was pushing really hard for a labour government and, to be honest, we have seen the disaster that happened when we lost and that is why keir is very clear we can never put forward
8:40 am
a programme ever again that the british public cannot vote for, because the british public ended up with boris johnson because the british public ended up with borisjohnson and we have seen the disaster of what happened under boris, liz truss and now the unfunded tax commitments that rishi sunak is putting forward which would take us back to what liz truss did and crashed our economy again. back to the issue — and crashed our economy again. back to the issue of _ and crashed our economy again. back to the issue of trust, _ and crashed our economy again. back to the issue of trust, if _ and crashed our economy again. back to the issue of trust, if i _ and crashed our economy again. back to the issue of trust, if i may come and this is specific to yourself because you may well become the deputy prime minister. it becomes more and more relevant. we go back four years and this is a tweet that was yours. you said, the obscene and inhumane two child cap must go. so you said that. keir starmer has decided not to scrap the two child benefit cap. so how do we square those two things about what you said then and what your party is doing now, relating to trust?— now, relating to trust? charlie, that is a really _ now, relating to trust? charlie, that is a really fair _ now, relating to trust? charlie, that is a really fair question, i now, relating to trust? charlie, . that is a really fair question, and keir starmer has not said he doesn't
8:41 am
want to do that, he said we have to have a fully costed manifesto. now, i accept that, i want to see a child poverty strategy and if i am deputy prime minister i will be pushing really hard on that because i was a child that lived in poverty. but i went to school without breakfast in the morning, labour is committed to having free breakfast clubs for every child at primary school which is incredibly important and will help alleviate some of the challenges that children face and families face around work, as well. but we cannot do everything. 1a years, the tories have crashed the economy, we have a high tax, low growth economy. we have set our economy has to be —— our priority has to be grow the and we have set out proposals for that so we can pave our public services and then we can look at reversing some of the disaster of the last 1a years but we cannot do everything overnight and thatis cannot do everything overnight and that is about trust and honesty from the labour party about the constraints that we will inherit if we win the general election on the 4th we win the general election on the lith ofjuly. we win the general election on the 4th ofjul . ~ we win the general election on the 4th ofjuly-— we win the general election on the 4th ofjuly. well, you say you can't
8:42 am
do everything _ 4th ofjuly. well, you say you can't do everything overnight, _ 4th ofjuly. well, you say you can't do everything overnight, and - 4th ofjuly. well, you say you can't i do everything overnight, and therein lies another issue and i go back to theissue lies another issue and i go back to the issue of trust. the questions keep coming about immigration, for example, where your party is saying very clearly that you want to bring those numbers down, but you refuse to give specific numbers. which people think, on the trust issue, it means you have a get out later. if you win you can say, well, we were never specific. that is just you being careful so you don't have anything to refer back to. why not talk numbers?— anything to refer back to. why not talk numbers? because people have romised talk numbers? because people have promised numbers _ talk numbers? because people have promised numbers and _ talk numbers? because people have promised numbers and have - talk numbers? because people have promised numbers and have failed l talk numbers? because people have| promised numbers and have failed to reach those targets. you have just said in your package earlier around migration is set to fall, but we have a programme which is about an industrial and skills strategy so we get the skills we needed things like social care, where we have beavers that are high level, because we don't have the skills in the uk to cover that. so we have to put those programmes in place in order to bring net migration down further. we
8:43 am
will not have a figure for that and we are being very honest, but numbers will come down significantly if you have a plan to tackle it, and we do have a plan to tackle it and thatis we do have a plan to tackle it and that is how we think we will bring those numbers down further, by having the skills in our economy here in the uk so that we can fill those vacancies, because our economy will suffer if we don't have those skills and we have those vacancies and our industries are telling us quite categorically that they are suffering because we don't have the skills in our economy and that is why labour is committed to the upskills agenda to give people a real opportunity to go into those jobs that are desperately needed. it jobs that are desperately needed. it is an interesting version of honesty and politics where your vision is "we don't know" and that is being honest. update might want something whereby they can hold you to account when you are in government. this way around, you have no parameters. well, we do, and, like i say in your
8:44 am
package, migration figures are set to fall, we think we can have a significant reduction is by having a skills plan and an industrial strategy which we have not seen under the conservatives. they have relied on overseas skills coming to the country to prop up our economy. what we are saying is we will have a skills programme to make sure people can match those jobs for the economy and the growth we need in the future. i think that is credible for people to understand that, and to just spout figures, which we have had from the conservatives, and they have failed on every single one of those targets, because, actually, instead of this sticking plaster, here is a headline figure, we are putting a detailed plan on how we will resolve this issue and i think voters can understand that. this toes voters can understand that. this goes across _ voters can understand that. this goes across all _ voters can understand that. this goes across all issues, doesn't it? the nhs, waiting list. these are all areas where people want tangible change, and if people cannot see commitments on your part... they can see what you hope to do, what you
8:45 am
want to do, but if they cannot see commitments, it makes it very difficult for them to judge. difficult for them to 'udge. well, charlie, difficult for them to 'udge. well, charlie. you h difficult for them to judge. well, charlie, you mentioned - difficult for them to judge. well, charlie, you mentioned the - difficult for them to judge. .in charlie, you mentioned the nhs and we have put figures on that. we have said that we would enter the non—dom tax loophole for the super wealthy, giving us 40,000 extra appointments every week in our nhs to bring down the 8 million people waiting on waiting lists currently across the uk so that we can clear that backlog before the end of the next parliament. that is what keir committed to last night in the leadership debate. so where we can give a figure because we have costed it and we have got the data that proves it, we have given that commitment and we do believe we can meet that. so where we believe we can give a figure and to be honest with the public and we can meet that target, we are delivering on that. angela rayner, labour deputy leader, thank you very much for your time this morning. thank you very much for your time this morning-— it's the summer solstice today, and an estimated 15,000 people gathered at stonehenge
8:46 am
to celebrate the event. you see the people in the foreground, about 15,000 people gathered there this morning. druids, pagans, people sleeping overnight. what a magnificent sight that is. the stone circle, the light channels into the middle of the monument and matt was there this morning and described the scene. he has seen many of these occasions. he said there is something very, very special. he has also been keeping us up to date from one of the most beautiful places to be on summer solstice with the weather. thank you. good morning. a beautiful start here at stonehenge this morning. there's been about 15,000 people here to start the day, just to grab that glimpse of the summer sunrise — that first sunrise after the solstice. stonehenge, of course, crucial to that. it was designed around the sunrise — the summer and the winter solstice —
8:47 am
that initial sunrise flooding in to embrace the centre of the stones. and a perfect night it was, as well, for people to be here — it stayed dry. a little bit cool this morning, but things now have warmed up, so let's take a look at the forecast for today across the uk and into the weekend. for today, at least, many central and eastern areas will have a dry, sunny and warm day. out in the west, though, we'll see a bit more in the way of cloud and rain pushing its way in. the pressure chart shows what is going on. it's those weather fronts to the north and west which will bring that cloud and rain gradually as we go through the day, and a bit more of a breeze, as well, to go with it. but across many central eastern areas, high pressure is in charge, and that will keep things dry. certainly a beautiful start this morning across many central and eastern areas. blue skies for the most part, only a little bit of patchy cloud. cloud amounts a bit more variable in the west, and there's a bit of patchy rain in the north and west of scotland, but it turns wetter in northern ireland as we go through the day with those outbreaks of rain.
8:48 am
they will eventually push into western fringes of scotland, wales and england later on. temperatures around 15 to 17 degrees here. but in the sunshine, elsewhere, up to around 20 to 24 degrees, so feeling warm for the vast majority. tonight, though, those outbreaks of rain in the west will push their way eastwards, turning lighter and patchier. nothing more than cloud and light rain or drizzle through central and eastern england as we go into tomorrow morning. not as chilly as last night, as well, here, with temperatures staying in double figures. but for the start of the weekend — saturday — northern and western areas seeing the best of the morning sunshine. a bit grey and misty and a bit damp for some in central and eastern parts. will brighten up — some sunshine, isolated shower possible — and then some rain in the far north west of scotland later in the day. if anything, for many of you, temperatures down a degree or so on today's values, even though the winds will be a bit lighter, maybe a bit warmer where you've got more sunshine in the west. then through saturday night and into sunday, cloud and rain pushes its way southwards across the country, and that willjust leave a legacy of cloud for sunday across southern areas of the uk. again, there could be some light rain or drizzle for one or two, but many will have a dry day on sunday. best of the sunshine
8:49 am
in the north and west this time, some of the sunshine breaking through the cloud across england and wales later, and temperatures here will again start to climb — temperatures widely into the 20s for many. but if anything else, it could get warmer still through monday and tuesday — we could see temperatures on tuesday reach around 27 or 28 degrees. and that is how your forecast is looking. back to you both. there is matt with the weather. he has been at stonehenge all morning for us. the singerjanisjoplin spent only a brief time in the spotlight in the late 1960s — but more than 50 years after her death she still has a remarkable influence. rightly so. her story has been told in an award—winning broadway musical — and now it's coming to the uk. in a moment we'll speak to her brother and the woman playing her. first, let's hear some of her hits. # oh, come on, come
