concussion and minor injuries in an accident on her gloucestershire estate. dealing with the fallout from the manchester airport power cut — but what are your rights? missed backs, missing holidays. i'll be taking a look. i'm in cologne, where england have the chance to close the door england have qualified for the last 16 after albania lost to spain but can they now produce a result and performance in their final group game against slovenia tonight, and banish some of the negativity around the site? and could these new arrivals help stop wildcats from becoming extinct in scotland 7 good morning. it will be another hot and sunny day across england and wales today. for scotland and northern ireland and later in

northern england, more cloud and the odd shower or a splash of rain. i will have all the details later. it's tuesday 25th june. the bbc has been told that the gambling commission is considering whether more police officers are involved in alleged betting on the date of the general election. four conservatives and a police officer assigned to the protection of rishi sunak are known to be facing inquiries. scotland yard has denied a report that it leaked the names of some of those under investigation. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. did you have inside information when you placed your bet on the election date? i made a statement. it's been nearly two weeks since this aide to the prime minister — who's also a conservative candidate — said he'd made a huge error ofjudgement in betting on the date of the general election. another candidate and two members of the conservative party staff are also being investigated by the gambling commission. last night, interviewed by the sun newspaper and some of its readers,

it was pretty much odds—on that the prime minister would be asked about the issue. he said the conservative party was also investigating the allegations, but his frustration was clear. we should just be careful — there are independent inquiries ongoing. those haven't concluded. they're being done by very serious bodies. the gambling commission... craig williams... the gambling commission... ..said that he made a huge error ofjudgement. gambling commission and the police. it's important that nobody says or does anything that compromises the integrity of those investigations. then, this morning, the telegraph newspaper said a source close to a government department had suggested the names of those being investigated had been leaked from inside the metropolitan police. in a statement, a police spokesperson said... labour had called for the gambling commission quite simply to make public the names of all those who are under investigation. but it said...

labour and the lib dems have called on rishi sunak to suspend any candidates who may be involved. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they'd be gone. their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. the gambling allegations aren't limited to those directly involved in politics. one vip protection officer was arrested and questioned last week on suspicion of misconduct in public office. the bbc understands new information has been given to the met about a handful of other officers — but sources have suggested that the information is sketchy. voters go to the polls in little more than a week. the current opinion polls suggest there are long odds on a conservative victory. so the prime minister will need to find a way to move the focus from gambling and onto issues that might have a more positive iain watson, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. nine days to go until voting and you

have these two different worlds going on. the world of the manifestos and policies that the parties want to be talking about, and this gambling story which just is not going away. and this gambling story which “ust is not going awayi and this gambling story which 'ust is not going away. absolutely right. let's start with _ is not going away. absolutely right. let's start with the _ is not going away. absolutely right. let's start with the world _ is not going away. absolutely right. let's start with the world that - is not going away. absolutely right. let's start with the world that at. let's start with the world that at least the conservative campaign wishes we were in, where each of the parties has an announcement today. although not new announcements because we are in that phase of the campaign with a manifestos are all out there so the parties will all be coming up with new —— will not be coming up with new —— will not be coming out with new policy now, they will be highlighting what they have set for some time. labour are talking about knife crime today, tough sanctions for anyone found with a knife. that is another announcement of their action plan to cut knife crime which has been policy since january. lib dems talking as they have so often about social care, touting their free personal care in england policy, and the conservatives talking about plans to cut migration both legal and illegal. one legal migration, highlighting that manifesto promise

to let parliament vote on an annual cap on numbers for the first time. really, the conservatives are still battling to douse the fire that is this gambling story. you saw that yesterday when rishi sunak was talking at the debate and he had to give voice to public dissatisfaction and anger about the story. needless to say, this close to polling day when he is in that position, it is not good for his campaign at all. henry, for now, thank you very much. we will speak to henry later as the programme goes on. you can find a full list of candidates standing in every constituency in the election over on the bbc news website, where you can also find in—depth details on the main parties�* key pledges within their respective manifestos. so has the rest of the news.

wikileaks wikilea ks founder wikileaks founderjulian sands, he has left the uk after striking a plea deal with us authorities. he is expected to plead guilty to violating an american espionage law by uploading military files to his website in 2010 but he will spend no more time behind bars. paul hawkins reports. wikileaks published this clip on social media, appearing to show its founderjulian assange heading for stansted airport and flying out of the country at 5pm on monday afternoon. it said he was heading for australia, where he was born, after spending 1,901 days in prison for publishing what it called ground—breaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses. this period of our lives, i'm confident now, has come to an end. and i think that, by this time next week, julian will be free.

but his critics in the us government say he is a danger to national security after wikileaks published thousands of top—secret us military files in 2010. ever since, he has fought extradition to the us to face charges of espionage — first, by claiming asylum for seven years inside ecuador�*s london embassy until his arrest in 2019, and then from belmarsh high security prison in london. charges of rape in sweden — which he denies — were also dropped. the bbc now understands he will plead guilty to one criminal charge and will spend no time in us custody, receiving credit for the time spent in prison in the uk. paul hawkins, bbc news. nhs england has confirmed that patient data managed by the blood test management service synnovis was stolen in a cyber attack earlier this month. the incident on 3rd june caused major disruption to services at many mainly london hospitals, as well as some gp appointments. the nhs said there was no evidence that test results had been published online.

a former fujitsu engineer will be questioned today for the first time about his role in designing the faulty software at the centre of the horizon it scandal. garethjenkins is a key figure in the inquiry into how hundreds of sub—postmasters were falsely accused of theft. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. the former fujitsu engineer who probably knows more about the horizon it system than anyone else. now, we're finally to hear what garethjenkins has to say about the faults. garethjenkins is giving evidence over four days — the longest run of questions any witness in this inquiry has faced. he's now become a key figure in this scandal. his name keeps popping up. that's because, from 2005, he was pivotal in helping the post office defend horizon when he became an expert witness. here's why he's so important.

he gave expert evidence in a number of criminal and civil trials against postmasters. and, in 2013, a barrister called simon clarke told everyone that his evidence was unreliable and should not be used. the post office did not tell anyone that until november 2020. seema misra was found guilty of theft and false accounting in 2010. she was jailed whilst pregnant. gareth jenkins gave evidence in her case. it is very important, because i want to know why he did what he did. i want to hear truth — that's what i'm looking for. so hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, you know, listening from gareth, actual reality, actual truth, might put my mind to rest a bit. if the problems had been revealed during seema's trial at this court, it could have stopped all the subsequent prosecutions and helped others to clear their names far earlier. garethjenkins' lawyer said it would be inappropriate for him to comment ahead of him giving evidence at the inquiry. emma simpson, bbc news.

princess anne has spent a second night in hospital following an accident thought to have been caused by a horse at her estate in gloucestershire. buckingham palace says anne, who is 73, is expected to make a full recovery, after suffering concussion and a minor head injury. a scheduled trip to canada this week by the princess royal has now been postponed. the king and queen will host a state banquet at buckingham palace tonight forjapan�*s emperor naruhito and empress masako. the couple arrived for a three—day official visit to the uk this weekend — theirfirst since 1998. england face slovenia in the final group match of their euros tonight. they have already qualified for the last 16 after the results went in their favour. our sports presenterjohn watson joins us live from cologne.

in the last match and a lot of negativity swirling around the england side, a lot of former pundits and players saying that with the players england have the performances should be better. gareth southgate, harry kane have had to respond to the criticisms that they will want not only to produce a result that ensures they top the group later but that performance, that is what people will be looking for from england, to put in a performance which really suggests to the fans who have travelled here that they do stand a good chance, really, of achieving what they have set out to do and thatis what they have set out to do and that is to win this tournament. for the moment. _ that is to win this tournament. for the moment, thanks. china's china's later space mission is expected to return to earth later bringing with it samples of rock from the far side of the moon. laura bicker is in beijing. this is a world first. it bicker is in bei'ing. this is a world first.— bicker is in bei'ing. this is a world first. , ., , world first. it is. china is calling it historical _

temperatures potentially once again getting up into the high 20s around the south—east and london area even 29, possibly 30 degrees. into this evening and overnight, the showers eventually tending to ease in the north. for many, are dry at night, variable amounts of cloud, listing us and also some clear skies. another one night across the board. these are our overnight lows, between seven and 15 degrees. a warm start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow, again, a lot of dry weather around. afair again, a lot of dry weather around. a fair bit of sunshine, as well. at times, cloudy across parts of the north and the price of the east and also the south—west. there will —— it will always be that bit cooler along the coast with sea breeze but these are our temperatures. much lower in the north but still pretty high in the south, 29, potentially 30 degrees. for now, thank you very much indeed. in recent months health officials

have been ramping up their campaigns encouraging families to get their children vaccinated against childhood diseases. later this morning we'll find out if it has worked or not, as the latest data on immunisation rates in england is released. last year, no vaccinations met the 95% target which is set by the world health organization, and that's causing concern — particularly as the number of measles cases england has been rising. the figure stands at over a thousand since october last year, with the majority of cases recorded in the west midlands. whooping cough also continues to rise across england. there have been over 11,700 cases between january and april this year. and take a look at this. this shows you how much cases of whooping cough have gone up by. 555 cases injanuary, jumping to 1,888 in april. our health correspondent catherine burns has been

to a playgroup, where she's been speaking to parents. # happy birthday to you #. by the time a child turns one, they should have had three different sets of vaccines, starting to protect them from nine illnesses, like whooping cough. when they blow out the candles on their second birthday cake, they should have had more vaccines, including for measles. by the time they start school, more boosters helping their immunity. it's really important for all children to be vaccinated, not just for their safety, but then for the children that they're around all the time, you know. they trust that it's really good for them to have their body immune and, yeah, to prevent such serious diseases in the future. i did my research on what _ the vaccinations were to be informed on what they're taking, _ but no concerns when i read into it. definitely do it. i don't believe in any conspiracies. health officials have targets for how many children they want to have certain key vaccines. the aim is for 95% to be protected

by the time they're five. recently, we haven't been hitting that target. in fact, vaccination rates have been going generally in the wrong direction. most of the children at this playgroup are up to date with their vaccines, but not all. so i have given my children the measles and mmr vaccines, but i haven't given them whooping cough. i mean, if my children, if they start coughing, if they start doing it and i feel like, ok, it's getting a bit much, then maybe i'll readjust it, but, to me, it's not 100% trustworthy. but if your kids start coughing, it will be too late. yeah. but it's a risk you're willing to take? yeah, i don't know. but listen to this. gasping and coughing. the reality of whooping cough — gasping for air. we're seeing the biggest outbreak for 12 years, and babies under six months are at the biggest risk. i'm very worried. we've already seen some deaths

from the most recent outbreaks. and so i think we're really at a tipping point where there's a real risk for more children getting seriously ill and deaths from disease we can prevent. a kiss from mum for 12—week—old baby aiden ahead of three vaccines, including protection against whooping cough. sorry, my love. sharp scratch. baby cries. but within a few minutes, his tears have dried up. so we'll see you in four weeks. and mum severina is booking him in for his next appointment. there's only like a few seconds of the crying and it's done, you know, and then he will be, for all of his life, strong. say hi. kiera daly has made it a priority to vaccinate baby shay. she got measles ten years ago and spent five days in isolation in hospital. really, really bad. i felt really, really poorly. were you scared? yeah, i was scared.

probably by my worst, i could barely lift my head off the pillow. i felt really poorly and thought, yeah, i don't know why i'm so sick, but i might...i might even die. i wouldn't want anyone to get that poorly, especially children or babies. health officials will hope other parents listen to her message. catherine burns, bbc news. that new data will be released a bit later this morning. atjust after 8am we will be joined by an expert in child health and immunisation and tell us what he thinks parents need to know. let's take a look at today's papers. the front pages are dominated by the trial of a security guard accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder tv presenter holly willoughby. the daily mirror leads with the words of prosecutor alison morgan, who said the defendant, gavin plumb, had displayed a "dark depravity". he denies the charges.

the daily mail's front page also focuses on the opening day of the plumb's trial, with their headline labelling the defendant as an "obsessed holly fan". the paper also features an image of princess anne, as it reports the royal spent a second night in hospital under observation for a head injury and concussion after an accident — thought to have involved a horse. we will go live to that hospital a bit later in the programme and speak to our correspondent. while the i leads on both labour and the tories being criticised for not explaining how they will square their spending needs with their tax pledges. the paper says that sir keir starmer and rishi sunak have ruled out raising income tax, national insurance and vat, but "left the door open to at least different tax rises". i like this story about small talk. i like this story about small talk.

street artists putting their mark on buildings throughout the town, in celebration of its landscape, history and culture. chrissie reidy went for a look around. there's a surprise around every corner of this coastal town. as part of the look again festival, the blank walls are gone. instead, dramatic designs and a kaleidoscope of colour. the murals are bold, subversive and hope to bring vitality to the neglected streets of this port town. it's kind of broken—window theory, really, in that if you break — if one window is broken on the street, the degradation starts to spread across the street. and if you fix that window, then there's a pride starts to re—emerge and everybody else will start to fix their windows. and that's what we're really hoping is the knock—on effect. and already we've seen that.

lots of people are getting in touch to ask us if we can paint their walls now. a diverse range of vibrant murals litter the town. some just make you want to dance. it's an invitation to show up as you are on any given day and to be in the moment, really, and to kind of, yeah, bring bring yourself as you feel and to sort of shake it out bring yourself as you feel and to sort of shake it out and dance through these complex times that we're in. there's a trail of 15 pieces of artwork, each reflecting newhaven�*s rich history. it's been like a lot of kind of coastal towns — you know, investment has kind of disappeared. so i think through kind of creative work like this, you can revitalise and bring energy to a place and just kind of reframe what people think of the place, really. it's time to celebrate this sussex town and, hopefully, the festival of art may inspire you to look again.

the warm weather could pose a risk to people who are particularly vulnerable including the elderly. nhs england has confirmed that patient data was stolen from two london trusts during a cyberattack earlier this month. it said there was no evidence test results had been published although investigations are ongoing. more than 3,000 hospital and gp appointments were disrupted by the attack. campaigners have called on candidates to explain how they would tackle water pollution in the river thames during a protest last night. kayakers, paddleboarders and supporters from river action and surfers against sewage took to the river close to thames water headquarters in reading. they say plans to upgrade 250 of its sites to increase capacity, and reduce the number of discharges has been published. it's hit and miss, day by day. so i live close to the thames and it's a regular swimming spot for me — has been all my life.

and you do have to think about whether you should go in or not. i take my children in, as well. so i'm particularly extra careful. i wouldn't go in after rain, because we do know that you're going to get more sewage pollution and other pollution that washes in off the land at that time. a ban on dumping rented electric bikes on pavements in one london borough is set to be passed. wandsworth want introduce the rule for users once it has finished installing more than 100 new dedicated parking bays for them in claphamjunction, tooting bec, tooting broadway, wandsworth, balham and putney. let's take a first look at the tubes. minor delays on the piccadilly line. now the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. high pressure remains in charge today and we're still under the influence of this hot and humid air mass. so feeling hot out there with sunshine quite widely and some patchy cloud developing today. so quite a bright start to the day.

plenty of sunshine first thing, but we are expecting that cloud to build into the afternoon. but staying dry, with light winds and temperatures today reaching the high 20s quite widely — 30 celsius is not out of the question. for this evening, a fine evening, some patchy cloud. clearing skies overnight, light winds and another night where it will stay in around the mid to high teens, so perhaps an uncomfortable night to sleep in tonight. but it does mean for tomorrow morning, plenty of sunshine once again. but looking ahead and we can see this area of low pressure nudging in across more northern parts of the country. and we do have this cold front approaching us for thursday. but it is a weak affair. by the time it reaches us, hardly any rain on it — maybe one or two light showers. largely dry conditions, but it will become cooler by the end of the week, into the weekend. that's it for now. there's more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london. i'll be back with you in aroud half an hour's time.

hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. around 90,000 people were affected by delays and cancellations at manchester airport over the weekend, after a power cut caused major disruption to key services. all kinds of chaos was caused. for those left in the wrong place or without luggage, questions will now turn to the issue of compensation. nina is taking a look at this for us. notjust for not just for manchester but with the summer holidays ahead, people flying from all over the country it is something we need to be aware of. have you ever reached your destination and your baggage has not made it? yes. a baby buggy when the kids were little. it sounds like a tiny thing but it gets the holiday off to a bad start when you have invested your money, annual leave, emotional investment.

and it was utter chaos at manchester airport's terminals one and two at the weekend, after a powerfailure meant more than 100 flights were cancelled. as you can see in these images. luggage piled high, halls packed full of people, and plenty of holidays off to a bad start. and there will be a knock—on beyond today to try and get those holidays started and reunite people with their luggage. this is the extent of the disruption. a quarter of all outbound flights were cancelled by lunchtime on sunday. at least another 50 inbound were cancelled too. so that's a lot of travellers looking for compensation. but that will not come automatically. and that's because the power failure that caused the disruption has been deemed an extraordinary event, meaning the airlines are not liable. but if your luggage isn't where it should be, then the airline is obliged to get them back to you, and to cover expenses incurred, including clothes and other

reasonable necessities. check your insurance policy as soon as possible as sometimes there's a deadline to claim. manchester airport told us that passengers should contact the airline first. well we want to hear from you this morning if you've been impacted by the problems at the weekend. if you have any queries around where you stand let us know. we know some of the people held up in the manchester chaos at the weekend were going to the football and were worried about whether they would get there. big night tonight. all eyes will be

on england. they face slovenia in theirfinal on england. they face slovenia in their final group on england. they face slovenia in theirfinal group game. on england. they face slovenia in their final group game. john, on england. they face slovenia in theirfinal group game. john, who their final group game. john, who did theirfinal group game. john, who did make it to germany, he is in cologne. how are things? how is the atmosphere? some of the nervousness taken out. but people will watch the performance of individual players. yes. that is key. it might have passed by some fans but england have qualified for the last 16 after albania lost to spain, it means england are guaranteed to go through as one of the best placed third sides. but they want to top the group because if they do that they avoid germany in the next round which is an incentive for gareth southgate. it is about performance because there has been negativity after a drab draw against denmark. we can get a sense of the mood among

the fans. andy swiss reports. england fans in cologne, out enjoying a cruise on the river rhine. but after their team's stodgy start to the euros, it's hardly been plain sailing. we've got the best attacking players, i think, in the whole tournament, but we just haven't been using them right. we don't want to peak too early, so build into the tournament slow and steady, and then hopefully by knockouts, we're up to full speed. having watched the first two games, are you still feeling confident? laughter. oh, come on! stupid question. yes —100%. it will get better. crowd booing. england were booed off by some supporters after last week's frustrating draw with denmark, but they are still top of their group, and these fans are keeping the faith. england. you never know what you're going to get with them, but fans are there to support them all the way. and here we go, it is coming home, hopefully! i think once they've scored, they go on the defence rather than the attack,

and i think they need to change that side of things. but you're still confident? oh, yeah! southgate's got it, kid. no problem. england haven't been short of critics, though. captain harry kane says former players who are now pundits should be more supportive. but the manager says he's not bothered. it's not important to me. there's nothing to be gained from us that's going to help improve us listening to external criticism. we know what we've done well — we're very honest about that. we know where we need to be better — we're brutally honest about that. so while england fans will be hoping for a win here against slovenia, they'll be hoping for a performance, too. remember, england arrived here in germany as one of the tournament favourites. it's time to start showing why. andy swiss, bbc news, cologne. they will want to do that. do

england always do this at major tournaments? i england always do this at ma'or tournaments?i england always do this at ma'or tournaments? i am hoping we will crow into tournaments? i am hoping we will grow into it- _ tournaments? i am hoping we will grow into it. the _ tournaments? i am hoping we will grow into it. the performance i grow into it. the performance was disappointing. we should see something more positive and hopefully kick on. and hopefully get an easier draw and progress. i5 hopefully kick on. and hopefully get an easier draw and progress. is the criticism fair _ an easier draw and progress. is the criticism fair of _ an easier draw and progress. is the criticism fair of england, _ an easier draw and progress. is the criticism fair of england, should i criticism fair of england, should they be doing better? it is tough. we are not _ they be doing better? it is tough. we are not out _ they be doing better? it is tough. we are not out of— they be doing better? it is tough. we are not out of first _ they be doing better? it is tough. we are not out of first gear. i they be doing better? it is tough. we are not out of first gear. the | we are not out of first gear. the way we — we are not out of first gear. the way we are _ we are not out of first gear. the way we are set up is cautious. we are set_ way we are set up is cautious. we are set up— way we are set up is cautious. we are set up essentially not to lose if we _ are set up essentially not to lose if we are — are set up essentially not to lose if we are being realistic, whereas we are _ if we are being realistic, whereas we are playing average teams and should _ we are playing average teams and should be — we are playing average teams and should be ruthless, go out to dominate _ should be ruthless, go out to dominate games, and that is where some _ dominate games, and that is where some of— dominate games, and that is where some of the criticism is probably justified — some of the criticism is probably justified. we will probably win tonight — justified. we will probably win tonight. we will win the group and should _ tonight. we will win the group and should have a favourable round of 16 tie. , ., , ., , , should have a favourable round of 16 tie. , ., , tie. great positivity. en'oy the name. tie. great positivity. en'oy the game. they * tie. great positivity. en'oy the game. they can fl tie. great positivity. en'oy the game. they can get i tie. great positivity. enjoy the game. they can get the i tie. great positivity. enjoy thej game. they can get the result tie. great positivity. enjoy the i game. they can get the result on

tie. great positivity. enjoy the - game. they can get the result on top the group, and also that performance, if the players shine later, it will help england and banish the negativity coming from pundits and former players. we can look at results elsewhere. on the pitch, there was late drama as group b reached it's climax as italy scored a 98th minute equaliser to draw 1—1 with croatia — a result that sees them qualify for the knockout stages — and all but knock croatia out. mattia zaccagni was italy's hero. spain were already through before their final game against albania — but made sure they finished top of group b with three wins from three. they won 1—0 in dusseldorf — ferran thomas with the only goal. that result ensures england progress to the last 16. away from the tournament here it is less than a week until wimbledon. the qualifiers who will play have one more chance

to warm up. eastbourne is one of those before the grand slam. cameron norrie, emma raducanu and katie boulter play first round matches later today. after winning the nottingham open, katie boulter said she was in good form heading into wimbledon. i'm definitely playing some of the best tennis. i don't know what's going to come out on the day, but i am really playing some good stuff and, you know, i'm still working very hard, i've got a lot to improve on and a lot to stay hungry for. and i think that's what's great for me, you know? it keeps me motivated. i've got a lot of goals that i want to achieve coming up. but, yeah, i'm going to stay in the moment, enjoy it out here. the sun's out, so i can't complain. and, yeah, we're here in eastbourne, so i'm looking forward to playing. good to hear that the sun is out. harriet dart is into the second round. she beat a playerfrom the czech republic in a match that lasted over three and a half hours.

billy harris came out on top in a much shorter time in his all british opening round match against jacob fearnley — winning in straight sets. harris will play the newly crowned queen's champion , tommy paul, in round two. australia were knocked out in the t20 world cup. this happened in the last hour. australia comfortably beaten by india. the australians fell 25 runs short of their target so india win the group and will face england in the semifinal. and we now know the first 20 cyclists who will represent team gb at this summer's olympics games in paris. there will be ten debutants. four olympic medallists, including tom pidcock, the mountain bike champion who will defend his title.

also competing in the road race event. six further squads are to be announced as team gb prepared to send their biggest cycling delegation ever to an olympic games. the sporting summer rolls on with the olympics around the corner and wimbledon to come. and we will wait to see what england can produce now at this euros. scotland headed home yesterday. results elsewhere yesterday. results elsewhere yesterday meant even if scotland had managed to draw, it would not have been enough to go through said they had to go for the win. scotland heading home and now the focus on england and see what they can produce against slovenia in the final group game here tonight. studio: it is about expectation management. we will let you get back to sweeping the streets. the numbers of children in care

across the uk are at record levels, with more than 107,000 individuals now living in accommodation away from theirfamilies. wales has seen the biggest rise with a near 80% increase in two decades, but one local authority is now changing the narrative, as our social affairs correspondent india pollock reports. 15—year—old lauren has lived with her foster carer debbie for three years, and together they've made some happy memories. it's not been an easy time for lauren. she was just 11 when her social worker told her she was going into care. i was crying, i was laughing. i was, like, stressed. i had all the emotions. and then later that day, the police was there, there were police there, there was ambulance and stuff like that there. at that moment, i knew i was going into foster care, right then, right there. things aren't always easy for lauren. she says it's debbie that helps her through. i thought i would never make it

into my teenage years, to be honest. i'm turning 15 soon. so it is like, wow, i am actually doing it. i am making it. so it's really good. ijust don't think any child should go through what she's been through. sometimes, you just feel like you're not making any difference, and sometimes you can't see the changes that you're kind of responsible for. but hearing it come from lauren, itjust makes it all worthwhile. i'm so proud of her. so proud of her, innit? don't set me off! i've got make—up on, don't set me off! �*vei got to do this. proud of you, really proud of you. come on, then! care can be a lifeline for young people like lauren, but it's not always the best option for children and their families. and it's incredibly expensive.

in 2012, neath port talbot council had the highest rate of children in care in wales. there were 500 children in their care. now, there are 230 and they have one of the lowest rates in wales. so how have they done it? families don't intentionally set out to hurt their own children, but, broadly speaking, most families are under pressure. they need help. and i think if they get that help at the right time with the right approach, we've seen some very good outcomes in neath port talbot with families that perhaps would historically have ended up either in the child protection arena, or with their children in foster care. lorry driver gaz grew up in care. and, at first, he struggled parenting his stepson, ashton, who has additional learning needs. sometimes things would escalate at home and the police would be called. gaz went to some classes organised by social services, and he says they've made him a better dad.

gemma davies was the first family worker to help him. what do you see as the biggest changes now, compared to sort of when i first met you? the biggest change is the relationship i've got with ashton. yeah. unbreakable. he calls me the fun daddy now, not the grumpy one. and that melts me, touches a nerve. and i think, as i said, you're working as a unit now, aren't you? we're building memories. that's what we're doing every weekend. he loves me and i'm really proud of him. yeah. really proud. casey's cooking. tiger's made a ham and coleslaw sandwich without the bread. social services became involved in kayleigh's life after she was in a volatile relationship. the relationship ended, but her two eldest children moved into care. she has a good relationship with them and sees them regularly. herfive other children live at home with her, with no social services involvement. what do you need to shift to bring

more positivity into your life? kayleigh says she's found a second family and her confidence at the parenting advocacy network. it's facilitated by social workers, but led by trained and paid parents. if there's one thing i've learned, it's when you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else for you to go but back up. i'm not so bothered about what people think about me any more. i've beenjudged, i've gone through this, this, and this. so there's nothing that you could say orjudge me over, anyway. but my kids are happy, my kids are healthy. and they all know that i love them to bits. i might be a single mum to seven kids, but i'm smashing it, i'm doing it. lauren now campaigns for positive change for children in care. she and debbie are now looking forward to their future together. india pollock, bbc news.

patient data was stolen from two london trusts during a cyber attack earlier this month. it said there was no evidence test results had been published, although "investigations are ongoing". more than 3,000 hospital and gp appointments were disrupted by the attack. campaigners have called on candidates to explain how they would tackle water pollution in the river thames during a protest last night. kayakers, paddleboarders and supporters from river action and surfers against sewage took to the river close to thames water headquarters in reading. they say plans to upgrade 250 of its sites to increase capacity and reduce the number of discharges have been published. it's hit and miss, day by day. so i live close to the thames and it's a regular swimming spot for me — has been all my life. and you do have to think about whether you should go in or not. i take my children in, as well. so i'm particularly extra careful. i wouldn't go in after rain, because we do know that you're

going to get more sewage pollution and other pollution that washes in off the land at that time. a ban on dumping rented electric bikes on pavements in one london borough is set to be passed. wandsworth want to introduce the rule for users once it has finished installing more than 100 new dedicated parking bays for them in clapham junction, tooting bec, tooting broadway, wandsworth, balham, and putney. let's take a look at the tubes. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. high pressure remains in charge today and we're still under the influence of this hot and humid air mass. so feeling hot out there with sunshine quite widely and some patchy cloud developing today. so quite a bright start to the day. plenty of sunshine first thing, but we are expecting that cloud to build into the afternoon. but staying dry, with light winds and temperatures today reaching the high 20s quite widely — 30 celsius is not out of the question.

for this evening, a fine evening, some patchy cloud. clearing skies overnight, light winds and another night where it will stay in around the mid to high teens, so perhaps an uncomfortable night to sleep in tonight. but it does mean for tomorrow morning, plenty of sunshine once again. but looking ahead and we can see this area of low pressure nudging in across more northern parts of the country. and we do have this cold front approaching us for thursday. but it is a weak affair. by the time it reaches us, hardly any rain on it — maybe one or two light showers. largely dry conditions, but it will become cooler by the end of the week, into the weekend. that's it for now. there's more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london all morning. i'll be back with you in around half an hour's time. until then, it's back tojohn and sarah.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. our headlines today. more metropolitan police officers have been drawn into the gambling commission's inquiries into alleged betting on the timing of the election. wikileaks founderjulian assange has been released from jail after a plea deal with the us government, which has been trying to extradite him from britain for more than decade. princess anne has spent a second night in hospital after suffering concussion and minor injuries

in an accident on her gloucestershire estate. will it be another giant leap for mankind as china waits for the return of the probe it sent to the far side of the moon? i'm in cologne, where england have the chance to close the door england have now qualified for the last 16 of the euros after results last 16 of the euros after results last night went their way. the question now is, can they produce a performance and result in their final group game against slovenia to end some of the criticism around the team? after a fairly cloudy start for some, for england and wales it will be largely dry and sunny and also warm. for scotland and northern ireland, a bit more cloud, with one or two showers and fresher here than yesterday. all the details throughout the programme. it's tuesday the 25th ofjune.

the bbc has been told that the gambling commission is considering whether more police officers are involved in alleged betting on the date of the general election. four conservatives and a police officer assigned to the protection of rishi sunak are known to be facing inquiries. scotland yard has denied a report that it leaked the names of some of those under investigation. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. did you have inside information when you placed your bet on the election date? i made a statement. it's been nearly two weeks since this aide to the prime minister — who's also a conservative candidate — said he'd made a huge error ofjudgement in betting on the date of the general election. another candidate and two members of the conservative party staff are also being investigated by the gambling commission. last night, interviewed by the sun newspaper and some of its readers, it was pretty much odds—on that the prime minister would be asked about the issue. he said the conservative party was also investigating the allegations, but his frustration was clear.

we should just be careful — there are independent inquiries ongoing. those haven't concluded. they're being done by very serious bodies. the gambling commission... your aide craig williams... the gambling commission... ..said that he made a huge error ofjudgement. gambling commission and the police. it's important that nobody says or does anything that compromises the integrity of those investigations. then, this morning, the telegraph newspaper said a source close to a government department had suggested the names of those being investigated had been leaked from inside the metropolitan police. in a statement, a police spokesperson said... labour had called for the gambling commission quite simply to make public the names of all those who are under investigation. but it said... labour and the lib dems have called on rishi sunak to suspend any candidates who may be involved. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they'd be gone. their feet wouldn't have touched the floor.

the gambling allegations aren't limited to those directly involved in politics. one vip protection officer was arrested and questioned last week on suspicion of misconduct in public office. the bbc understands new information has been given to the met about a handful of other officers — but sources have suggested that the information is sketchy. voters go to the polls in little more than a week. the current opinion polls suggest there are long odds on a conservative victory. so the prime minister will need to find a way to move the focus from gambling and onto issues that might have a more positive iain watson, bbc news. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, nine days until polling day, the twists and turns of this gambling story still dominate the headlines and yet the campaigning, the politics still go on.— the politics still go on. that's riiht the politics still go on. that's ri . ht and the politics still go on. that's right and we _ the politics still go on. that's right and we are _ the politics still go on. that's right and we are in _ the politics still go on. that's right and we are in this i the politics still go on. that's i right and we are in this slightly funny phase of the campaign where

the parties cannot announce new things because we have already had their manifestos, so instead they are focusing on issues that they think motivate their voters. the conservatives wanting to talk about illegal and legal migration today, labour talking about knife crime, the lib dems talking as they have so often during this campaign about social care. but from the conservative point of view, and you saw this yesterday in a debate hosted by the sun newspaper, rishi sunak is still being mostly asked about this gambling story wherever he appears stop is not like these developments this morning, as you heard there, i particularly about the conservative party, but they remind people of this story. it has the elusive things we politicians talk about using the awful phrase "cut—throat" and for rishi sunak it could not have come at a worse time. for now, henry, thank you very much indeed. more on the election to come

throughout the programme. you can find a full list of candidates standing in every constituency on the bbc news website, where you can also find details of the main parties�* key pledges from their manifestos. sarah has more of this morning's news. wikileaks founderjulian assange — who has spent the last five years in a british jail, fighting extradition to the united states — has left the uk after striking a deal with us authorities. he's expected to plead guilty to violating an american espionage law by uploading military files to his website in 2010 — but he'll spend no more time behind bars. paul hawkins reports. to some here the top general is holding the powerful to account and to others an attention seeking danger to national security. his website wikileaks, 14 years ago,

published thousands of top secret us military files. ever since he has fought extradition to the us to face charges of espionage. first by claiming asylum for seven years inside ecuador�*s london embassy until his arrest in 2019, and then from belmarsh high security prison in london via the courts. but late last night wikileaks published this clip on social media, showing its founder heading for stansted airport before flying out on monday afternoon. it also said he had spent 1901 days in prison for publishing what it called ground breaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses. this period of our lives, i'm confident now, has come to an end. and i think that, by this time next week, julian will be free. wikileaks says he is now heading for australia, where he was born. regardless of the view is that people have about his activities, the case has dragged on for too

long. there is nothing to be gained by his continued incarceration and we want him brought home to australia. that we want him brought home to australia. �* we want him brought home to australia. . .,. australia. at the same time he faced ra -e australia. at the same time he faced rape charges — australia. at the same time he faced rape charges in _ australia. at the same time he faced rape charges in sweden _ australia. at the same time he faced rape charges in sweden which - australia. at the same time he faced rape charges in sweden which he i rape charges in sweden which he denied and were eventually dropped. the bbc now understands he will plead guilty to one criminal charge and spend no time in us criminal custody because of his time spent in britain in the uk. paul hawkins, bbc news. us officials sayjulian assange is now expected to return to his native australia. our sydney correspondent katy watson joins us now. he is on his way. what is the reaction where you are? there is a cautious optimism. _ reaction where you are? there is a cautious optimism. he _ reaction where you are? there is a cautious optimism. he has - reaction where you are? there is a cautious optimism. he has to i reaction where you are? there is a cautious optimism. he has to stopj reaction where you are? there is a i cautious optimism. he has to stop in northern mariana islands, where he has to go to a us court and he will enter the guilty plea. from then on, coming to australia. across the

political spectrum there is a feeling of this has been a long time coming and it is good he will be returning to australian soil, but for now, the government is remaining tight—lipped, saying it is not appropriate to talk about ongoing proceedings. anthony albanese e, the prime minister, has made this long—running campaign, brought of this topic time and time again and has said repeatedly that enough is enough and julian assange needs to be back here in australia.— be back here in australia. thanks, ka a former fujitsu engineer will be questioned today about his role in designing the faulty software at the centre of the horizon it scandal. garethjenkins is a key figure in the inquiry into how hundreds of sub—postmasters were falsely accused of theft and false accounting. it's the first time he's been questioned publicly. princess anne has spent a second night in hospital after an accident involving a horse at her estate in gloucestershire. our correspondent danjohnson joins us now from southmead hospital in bristol.

for further examination and treatment. we know she was out walking on the estate, not riding but there were voices around and princess anne herself has spent a lot of time on horses, very comfortable around them. she now has to miss her royal engagements for the rest of the week, she has been very busy senior member of the royal family, especially this year, and it means you won't be able to attend the state banquet for the japanese emperor being held at buckingham palace later tonight, and she will miss a trip to candid that she should have been taken at the weekend. she has apologised to everyone affected by the fact she is not able to conduct a duties —— she will miss a trip to canada. not able to conduct a duties -- she will miss a trip to canada.- will miss a trip to canada. darnell johnson in — will miss a trip to canada. darnell johnson in bristol, _ will miss a trip to canada. darnell johnson in bristol, thank- will miss a trip to canada. darnell johnson in bristol, thank you. i will miss a trip to canada. darnell johnson in bristol, thank you. --| johnson in bristol, thank you. —— danjansen. the search for lancashire teenagerjay slater has entered its second week. the 19—year—old went missing in tenerife after attending a music festival and was last heard from on monday last week. search teams narrowed their efforts over the weekend on small

buildings close to where his phone last pinged. we can go to tenerife and join our corresponded. the search continues. can you bring us right up to date with the latest? the can you bring us right up to date with the latest?— can you bring us right up to date with the latest? the search does continue but _ with the latest? the search does continue but we _ with the latest? the search does continue but we are _ with the latest? the search does continue but we are contacting i with the latest? the search does i continue but we are contacting the police again today to ask if those searches you have been talking about, concentrating on those outbuildings, have they been scaled back or moved elsewhere? this is because when we were high up on the mountain yesterday, this is the area where he went missing over a week ago, when he went to that remote holiday home with two men he met at a bar. when we were there yesterday we didn't see any of those ground searches that we have seen previously. sniffer dogs, mountain rescue, fire fighters. we are trying to establish how they are working and to decide whether or not they have simply scaled back their

a majorfeet samples into the laboratory. this is a major feet for chinese space exploration. they have real ambitions when it comes to space. certainly nasa officials last month admitted there is now a new race to the moon between the us and china. the reason they have chosen the far side of the moon to explore is because there is a potential that it could contain ice and that would mean real minerals for china to create a space centre on the moon. when it comes to those rock samples, analysts want a real look at them because they believe they are a bit different from the side of the moon we can see. the side of the moon we can see, the rock samples that are like those you would find in hawaii or iceland are at volcanic in nature but scientists believe the rocks on the moon could give us clues as to how planets are formed. many people are eagerly awaiting what those samples will show.—

are eagerly awaiting what those samples will show. thank you. we await those _ samples will show. thank you. we await those pictures, _ samples will show. thank you. we await those pictures, hopefully, i samples will show. thank you. we i await those pictures, hopefully, and later on the programme we will be talking to a research fellow at the university of manchester who will go through in detailjust how significant that landing is. exciting stuff.— significant that landing is. exciting stuff. pink floyd on standby- — exciting stuff. pink floyd on standby. yeah! _ shocking cctv footage has been released to remind rail passengers of the importance of keeping away from the platform edge at stations. before we play this — we should say nobody was hurt. this happened at newark northgate station in nottinghamshire last month. you can see a three—year—old boy climbing off the platform and then falling onto the tracks. a woman sees him but is unable to help, before a manjumps down and lifts the boy to safety, with the help of a rail worker who ushers the group away from the platform. that is dangerous enough and we all

know the danger of rails. but the timing is incredible. have a look at this. just 12 seconds later a high—speed train speeds through the station. the train firm — london north eastern railway — said help is available for passengers travelling with luggage and children. it is chilling. what a near miss but thankfully, as we said, nobody hurt. let's find out if today is going to be as sunny as it was for lots of us yesterday. carol has the weather. blue skies, looking good. indeed, for most it is much to start with it is a cloudy start but a mild one or 11 depending which end of the country you are in. over the next few days it will turn cooler than it has been from the north and west,

some showers and we hold onto the hot and humid air across much of england and wales for the next few days but by friday, instead of looking at temperatures in the south—east, for example, as high as 28, 29, possibly 30, it will be more like 21. if you have an allergy to pollen, the levels are high or very high across much of the country today. we are starting off on that cloudy note, especially across the north and the west. the cloud thinking parts of scotland and northern ireland this morning for a touch of drizzle, maybe the odd shower. a bit more cloud in from the north sea. across northern england, wales and the south—west. for the midlands and east to east anglia and the south, generally a sunny start to the day. a bit of cloud here and there, bubbling up through the day. another thing you will find is where the showers were developed across the showers were developed across the parts of scotland, it will feel fresher today across western scotland and northern ireland, compared to yesterday. but still hot

and humid as we push towards the south, potentially 30 around the london area. heading on through the evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade, still a fair bit of cloud across northern england and scotland. some in across the south—west but clearer skies and it will be mild. that is how we start tomorrow, the cloud across north—east england and south—east scotland, pushing northwards with some showers. a lot of dry weather but later we have some rain coming in across northern ireland and these are our temperatures. 13 to 27, possibly higher than that in the south—east. thanks, carol. throughout the general election campaign, as part of our your voice, your vote series, we've been asking which issues matter most to you, and, amongst the many responses we have had are concerns about mental health support. simon from harrogate tried to take his own life last year amid a mental—health crisis — he's been telling our correspondent navtej johal why he believes it's a key election issue.

ijust felt like i'd let everybody down, that i'd failed... ..that i wasn't good enough, that i would be better off... ..not here any more. in november last year, simon felt like his world was crashing down around him. pressures at work and home, the wait for an autism assessment — that he's still waiting for — all became too much, and he wanted to take his own life. if it wasn't for my wife and daughter, i could have done something quite serious. they locked me in the house, thankfully, and i ended up going to hospital, to a&e. it was devastating. they... they didn't know what to do. they'd never seen me like this before. he was diagnosed with depression, and tried to kill himself before receiving the help he needed.

he says he still feels guilty about what he put his family through. i forgive myself for feeling that way because i know that it is... it's natural, it happens. so i do forgive myself for that. i find it difficult forgiving myself for the impact that it had on my family. simon's doing a lot better now, and finding joy in his favourite hobby again. so, simon, do you remember the first stamp that you got? not the first stamp that i actually got, but i do remember the first christmas stamps i got...in 1987. how many stamps do you have in total? thousands? probably... ..there are around about a million. what?! yeah, i give away... but many people struggling with mental—health issues are not receiving the support they need. the latest figure from the nhs shows that around two million people are on waiting lists

for mental—health services. it's the issue simon believes the politicians should be talking about more in this election. he got in touch with us via your voice, your vote. there needs to be more...more investment in those services so that people can get access to them when they need them... ..without having to wait until things get worse. and those working in mental—health services agree that more needs to be done by those in power. we can raise the standard of health care in mental—health hospitals, we can reform the mental health act — something that's been so long overdue. but the longer mental—health services go unfunded and deprioritised, the worse this is going to get. so it's very, very urgent that whoever comes into the next government prioritises mental health — all right, lads, welcome to- andy's man club here in harrogate. just for those of i you thinking about... for simon, this is one of the places

that's kept him going. my name's simon. i started coming earlier in the year. a local support group in harrogate for men who've faced mental—health struggles. i wasjust miserable every day. i didn't want to be here. i didn't want to be alive, i thought the world would be better off without me. and part of me, as silly as it sounds, thought that if ijust ended my life, then maybe the bullies would realise what they were doing to someone. suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50, and this group is trying to help them open up. but many here also feel more support is needed from government. the hoops that you've got to jump through just to get some help — it's. ..unmanageable. certainly the question that rattles around in your mind is, do they actually care? my message would be, to the next prime minister — whoever that might be — is to prioritise mental health. simon believes there's still a taboo around men's mental health, but he hopes by speaking out, he'll get the parties talking about it, too.

nobody should take their own life, because that's a permanent decision that you can't take back. feeling depressed is a temporary thing, but taking your own life is a permanent one. navteonhal, bbc news, harrogate. let's take a look at what the five main parties in england are proposing in terms of mental health support in their manifestos. the conservative party say they would open early support hubs for those aged 11—25 in every community, along with ensuring mental health support teams cover all schools and colleges in england by 2030. they also say they would pass a new law to provide "better treatment and support" for severe mental health needs, whilst increasing plans to expand nhs talking therapies by 50%. labour are proposing that they would recruit an extra 8,500 new mental—health staff while opening community hubs to allow children and young

people to access support. the party also sets out plans to reform the mental health act to provide what is describes as "more dignity" to those in inpatient care. the liberal democrats are offering regular mental—health check—ups at key points in a person's life, including when they are most vulnerable to mental ill—health. they say they would also open walk—in community hubs for children and young people in every community and put a qualified mental—health professional in every school. another proposal would extend young people's mental health services to the age of 25, alongside reforms to the mental health act. reform are pledging to launch an inquiry into social media harms, including those associated with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, suicide, and the child mental—health crisis. the party also says they would reform benefit support and training

to start to motivate up to two million people back to work, and with a particular focus on 16—34—year—olds. the green party of england and wales says it would increase funding for mental—health care to give it parity with physical health, along with placing trained counsellors in every school and sixth—form college. we should say a big thank you to simon in harrogate for getting in touch with us and prompting that whole debate and feeding into our election coverage.— when angela allen lost both her daughter and husband to suicide, just a few months apart, she was determined to do something to help others in her situation. three years on, her charity bags for strife is continuing to support thousands of people. angela joins us now, alongside her friend judith — who also lost her husband jonathan to suicide seven years ago.

to people who are particularly vulnerable, including the elderly. nhs england has confirmed that patient data was stolen from two london trusts during a cyber attack earlier this month. it said there was no evidence test results had been published although investigations are ongoing. more than 3,000 hospital and gp appointments were disrupted by the attack. campaigners have called on candidates to explain how they would tackle water pollution in the river thames during a protest last night. kayakers, paddleboarders and supporters from river action and from surfers against sewage took to the river close to thames water headquarters in reading. they say plans to upgrade 250 of its sites to increase capacity, and reduce the number of discharges have been published. it's hit and miss, day by day. so i live close to the thames and it's a regular swimming spot for me — has been all my life. and you do have to think about whether you should go in or not. i take my children in, as well.

so i'm particularly extra careful. i wouldn't go in after rain, because we do know that you're going to get more sewage pollution and other pollution that washes in off the land at that time. a ban on dumping rented electric bikes on pavements in one london borough is set to be passed. wandsworth council want to introduce the new rule for users once it has completed installing more docking stations across busy parts of the borough. a look at the tubes. minor delays on the circle and jubilee. severe delays on the piccadilly line. now the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. high pressure remains in charge today and we're still under the influence of this hot and humid air mass. so feeling hot out there with sunshine quite widely and some patchy cloud developing today. so quite a bright start to the day. plenty of sunshine first thing, but we are expecting that cloud to build into the afternoon. but staying dry, with light winds and temperatures today reaching

the high 20s quite widely — 30 celsius is not out of the question. for this evening, a fine evening, some patchy cloud. clearing skies overnight, light winds and another night where it will stay in around the mid to high teens, so perhaps an uncomfortable night to sleep in tonight. but it does mean for tomorrow morning, plenty of sunshine once again. but looking ahead and we can see this area of low pressure nudging in across more northern parts of the country. and we do have this cold front approaching us for thursday. but it is a weak affair. by the time it reaches us, hardly any rain on it — maybe one or two light showers. largely dry conditions, but it will become cooler by the end of the week, into the weekend. that's it for now. there's more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london. i'll be back with you just before eight. hello, this is breakfast

with sarah campbell and jon kay. now, imagine returning from a spell working abroad to find your house has been taken over by criminals operating a cannabis farm from your property. that happened for one london family, who upon arriving home, found three feet of soil covering their bedroom, with more than 400 cannabis plants growing. guy lynn has more. there was a big curtain here. i mean, this... this is... this is astonishing. yeah. so they had fans going, the lights were going. then you go into this room and look what you see here. and then i turn the lights on and, oh, my god. it's like three feet of soil. charles thought his home was being rented out whilst he was abroad. the reality — it was overrun by drug criminals. posing as tenants, they set up an elaborate scheme to steal electricity and power a ventilation

system, dumping ten tonnes of soil in his bedroom to illegally grow the crop. i did break down. and itjust — it hit me pretty hard. i mean, this specifically — this was my bedroom, you know? and, you know, now it's... now it's this. i'm surprised the floors are even withstanding all this stuff. charles, his wife and daughter lived happily here for many years. but when they had to return to the usa for work, they placed their home online. an agent approached them with high—flying tenants who supposedly worked in the city. but those living here paid no rent, the agent's website turned out to be fake, and their home ended up looking like this. it was pretty horrific to feel like you were kind of attacked at the core. you know, that inner...inner core, that sanctum of — that place of comfort that, you know, we would rely on, being in the city.

it's our home. um... very emotional. the rent property is abandoned. this expert says we're seeing more rental scams linked to cannabis farms while owners are away — with criminals exploiting the amount of time that it takes to evict problematic tenants. you might yield a crop of cannabis that's worth £30,000 to £40,000 in a single crop. so you offset that against the risk of detection. they know that the legal system, if they stop paying the rent — they change the locks on the property, they stop paying the rent — the reality is that they're not going to be evicted. the legal process for eviction takes so long. they're growing weed in here! i'm calling the police right now. emotionally, it feels like my home has been defiled. that's what it feels like. you know, just...the damage and the dirt — just all this dirt everywhere.

police told the couple it was one of the worst cases of this kind of crime that they've seen, and say the matter is still being investigated. this innocent landlord and lots of others picking up the pieces of this kind of growing drug crime. guy lynn, bbc news. all eyes will be on england tonight as they face slovenia in their final group game at the euros later. john is standing by in cologne. good morning. it looks like the sun is coming up. any england fans raring to go there? yes the fans are beginning to arrive. we are in a main square in cologne where the atmosphere will build as we edge towards kick off tonight. actually, england have

qualified for the last 16 after results went their way last night. they face slovenia knowing a win will ensure they qualify as group winners and arguably give them an easier route to the knockouts because if they finish second, germany await, and they will want to avoid them. there has been criticism around the performances so far. we expect a change. conor gallacher set to replace trent alexander arnold in midfield. defender luke shaw also returned to team training yesterday, but he's not ready for selection as he continues his comeback from injury. what about gareth southgate and the criticism? gareth southgate says he's aware his team haven't been good enough in the tournament so far. we're not hiding from anything, and we're not making any excuses at all. that's not the culture we have as a group. so there's been very honest appraisal of what we've done. the world we live in, there'll always be external noise, but external noise shouldn't affect us.

what's important is the internal. we're the only ones that can perform on the pitch. work together to get those performances better. and performance is what we're focusing on. we have fans joining we have fansjoining us we have fans joining us this morning. jack, what is the role of the fan? to support the side or can you show your frustrations? abs, bit the fan? to support the side or can you show your frustrations? a bit of both. you show your frustrations? a bit of both- when — you show your frustrations? a bit of both- when you _ you show your frustrations? a bit of both. when you are _ you show your frustrations? a bit of both. when you are here, _ you show your frustrations? a bit of both. when you are here, in - you show your frustrations? a bit of both. when you are here, in the - both. when you are here, in the stadium, you only get the chance to support them. when we went to the serbia game, in the stadium we were buzzing, 1—0 win to start the group and you get back and get a signal on your phone and it was as if we had lost. at times in the second game there are points where you think we are not playing well but you are here to support them. ideli]!!! are not playing well but you are here to support them.— are not playing well but you are here to support them. will you bring

criticism? ! in hand. what have you made of the criticism? ~ . in hand. what have you made of the criticism? ,, ., ., ., , , criticism? i think a lot has been made about _ criticism? i think a lot has been made about comments - criticism? i think a lot has been made about comments from . criticism? i think a lot has been - made about comments from former players, pundits, people like myself and colleagues. a lot of what has been said is warranted. i do not think anyone has taken their comments too far either. the performances have not been good enough from the players and they know that. they are not silly enough to think the performances they are putting together our what a group of players like this should put together but there are positives. myself and everybody else, we sit there and feel the same way. this is a team that should get out of the group comfortably and finish top. hopefully we get that done this evening. but when you play for england, it is part of wearing the shirt. there is criticism from the fans, the media, from within. that

is the whole point of being an england footballer. you have to be able to handle the weight of it and if anything, over the past major tournaments, these players have proved they are capable of doing that. itjust happens that right now they need to find a performance. ! they need to find a performance. i guess there is such a belief england can do it, and expectation with the players, i guess that can quickly turn to frustration among the fans when they feel england are... things can unravel quite quickly and negativity can come quickly if performances do not come from england. irate performances do not come from encland. ~ ., ., england. we are living in a time where every _ england. we are living in a time where every football _ england. we are living in a time where every football fan - england. we are living in a time where every football fan think i england. we are living in a time i where every football fan think they are a former player, pundit and know the game inside out. everyone has an opinion but nobody knows what it is like to be in gareth's shoes, making

decisions he has to make, what will go through his mind as regards the team. does he think we have qualified and we need to look after a few, do i take more risksjust to please the fans? he will not do that. these are things an england manager has to deal with and players have to deal with. this is a group of players that usually relishes the idea. i think they know they always have a performance in them. the pressure comes from outside because we have champions league winners in the team, premier league winners, experience and youth. we have the whole blend of what we want. what we need to calm down on a bit is the obsession for change. granted there are tweaks people would like to see, and even that negativity towards individuals coming in to play. we as fans, pundits have an opinion but it needs to be levelled out in a way

because the only person who knows what is happening each day in training is gareth southgate so he will do what is best for the team. and quickly, do you feel a good result later will certainly ease things as far as england are concerned, given the boost in confidence they need?- concerned, given the boost in confidence they need? yes. look, as a -la er, confidence they need? yes. look, as a player. we — confidence they need? yes. look, as a player. we are _ confidence they need? yes. look, as a player, we are talking _ confidence they need? yes. look, as a player, we are talking about - a player, we are talking about pressure, fans, things on the outside. these players know going outside. these players know going out and putting on a performance will keep people quiet but more important, they want to do it for themselves. they want to gain some rhythm as you get into the knockout phases because the pressure will only build. it will get bigger and we have seen this before from england players where it has not gelled together in the group phase and they get into the knockout phase and they get into the knockout phase and it continues. a big performance is needed to night and the players

will know that.— will know that. they will want to find that rhythm. _ will know that. they will want to find that rhythm. great - will know that. they will want to find that rhythm. great to i will know that. they will want to find that rhythm. great to speak will know that. they will want to i find that rhythm. great to speak to you. thank you. jermaine jenas joining you. thank you. jermainejenas joining us to give his thoughts, giving a sense of what it is like, the expectation placed on the shoulders of england players. they will want a big result against slovenia tonight. plenty more drama on the pitch. late drama as group b reached it's climax as italy scored a 98th minute equaliser to draw 1—1 with croatia — a result that sees them qualify for the knockout stages — and all but knock croatia out. spain were already through before their final game against albania, but made sure they finished top of group b with three wins from three. they won 1—0 in dusseldorf — ferran thomas with the only goal. 0f of course, that result meant england do qualify for the last 16 with a

game to spare. all eyes on that match tonight, england against slovenia and hopefully a chance for england to find rhythm and more important, get that result and performance that will see them qualify from the group top and, in doing so, will avoid germany in the next round. with england playing as they are, they would not want additional pressure, so an easier route to the knockouts would be preferable and topping the group would avoid germany in the last 16. studio: there is an inevitability about this. how is it looking in the uk? we can go to carol. looking glorious. i guess it will be a mixed picture? glorious. i guess it will be a mixed icture? ~ , , ,

picture? absolutely right, yes. some are startin: picture? absolutely right, yes. some are starting with _ picture? absolutely right, yes. some are starting with beautiful _ picture? absolutely right, yes. some are starting with beautiful blue i are starting with beautiful blue skies. others have more cloud first thing. as we go through the next days it will be cooler from the north and west. some showers, but hot and humid north and west. some showers, but hotand humid in north and west. some showers, but hot and humid in england and wales up hot and humid in england and wales up till thursday. pollen levels are high, very high. if you are leaving the house, worth bearing in mind. we have cloud in northern and western areas. some of it will break through the day. thick enough in parts of scotland and northern ireland for the odd spot of drizzle. cloud in northern england, wales and the south—west breaking up allowing sunny spells. the midlands, east anglia, the south coast, a lot of sunshine. if it is too hot during the day, if you head to the coast, sea breezes will develop. you can see how further showers develop especially across scotland. the

high, 14 especially across scotland. the high, 1a in the north—west, 19 in northern ireland, so fresher than yesterday but still hot and humid as we push south and east. when joanne starkey first attended primary school in liverpool in 1969, little did she realise she'd still be there 55 years later. did they lock her in? after graduating, jo returned to st paul and st timothy'ss a teacher, then became the head. phil mccann has been to meet her ahead of her retirement. maths was off, literacy was cancelled, uniforms were scrapped — not because the head teacher was away, but because she was here for one last time. this is amazing. just a special surprise! this, you won't be surprised to know, is not howjoanne starkey normally arrives at work.

this morning, she was led onto the school field and into a festival named in her honour. we've set up a surprise for her. we're having a big celebration for her retirement. she's always said she wanted to go to a festival, so we came up with the idea ofjo fest and it literally just rolled from there. so you brought the festival to her? brought the festival to her, yeah. she doesn't need to go to glastonbury now. doesn't need to go to glastonbury now. maybe next year, when she's retired, she might make it to glastonbury. and they really did bring the festival to her. this is just incredible. i can't believe it. just such a surprise. what you expected from your last day? oh, my goodness, not this. joanne starkey first set foot in this school in 1969, when she was four. she graduated to junior school in '73, but was back here as a grown—up as a qualified teacher by 1988. she's been here ever since.

we always say if we were to cut her in half, she would have st paul's running through her blood. she means everything. she does everything — her life is this school. i can remember walking down the slope on my first day with my best friend catherine, and we had to take off our outdoor shoes and put on our indoor shoes to come inside the building. that doesn't happen now. what's mrs starkey like as a head teacher? um, like, very kind. and what else? she likes taking care of people. anything else? she's nice. children are, you know, basically the same. theyjust want to be loved, nurtured, understood and challenged. there were plenty of challenges at mrs starkey�*s festival — and plenty of food. you can have hot dogs or a chicken wrap. all part of one big goodbye to someone who's helped thousands of liverpool children to grow up. phil mccann, bbc news.

well done. congratulations. what a great career. in the past hour, a world first space mission to bring rocks back from the far side of the moon has successfully made a return to planet earth. china's lunar probe landed. it was after a mission fraught with risk. we'rejoined now by drjohn pernet—fisher, research fellow at the university of manchester. good morning. you are excited about this? ~ , , good morning. you are excited about this? . , , a good morning. you are excited about this?_ a world _ good morning. you are excited about this?_ a world first. i good morning. you are excited about this?_ a world first.- this? absolutely. a world first. why does it matter? _ this? absolutely. a world first. why does it matter? this _ this? absolutely. a world first. why does it matter? this is _ this? absolutely. a world first. why does it matter? this is the - this? absolutely. a world first. why does it matter? this is the first i does it matter? this is the first time we have samples directly from the lunar far time we have samples directly from the lunarfar side, the bit of the moon we cannot see in the sky. it is complicated technically so it

from two london trusts during a cyber attack earlier this month. it said there was no evidence test results had been published although "investigations are ongoing". more than 3,000 hospital and gp appointments were disrupted by the attack. campaigners have called on candidates to explain how they would tackle water pollution in the river thames during a protest last night. kayakers, paddleboarders and supporters took to the river close to thames water headquarters in reading. they say plans to upgrade 250 of its sites have been published. let's take a look at the tubes. another very warm, dry day ahead with clear skies and a top temperature of 28 degrees. that's it for now. there's more on the bbc news app and over on bbc

radio london all morning. i'll be back with you in around half an hour's time. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. more metropolitan police officers have been drawn into the gambling commission's inquiries into alleged betting on the timing of the election. wikileaks founderjulian assange has been released from jail after a plea deal with the us government, which has been trying to extradite him from britain for more than decade. princess anne has spent a second night in hospital after suffering concussion and minor injuries in an accident on her gloucestershire estate. another giant leap for mankind — china's space mission has landed back on earth, bringing with it samples of rock from the far side of the moon. the fallout from the flight chaos at manchester airport. missing bags, missed holidays —

what are your rights? we take a look. england qualify for the last 16 of the year rose with a game to spare as results last night got their way. can they beat slovenia in their final group game tonight to top the group and avoid germany in the next round? —— they qualify for the last 16 of the euros. a cloud is tight for many but for england and wales, hot, sunny and humid with scotland at another ireland are parts of northern england having cloud with showers or some drizzle. all the details shortly. it's tuesday the 25th ofjune. the bbc has been told that the gambling commission is considering whether more police officers are involved in alleged betting on the date of the general election. four conservatives and a police officer assigned to the protection of rishi sunak are known

to be facing inquiries. scotland yard has denied a report that it leaked the names of some of those under investigation. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. did you have inside information when you placed your bet on the election date? i made a statement. it's been nearly two weeks since this aide to the prime minister — who's also a conservative candidate — said he'd made a huge error ofjudgement in betting on the date of the general election. another candidate and two members of the conservative party staff are also being investigated by the gambling commission. last night, interviewed by the sun newspaper and some of its readers, it was pretty much odds—on that the prime minister would be asked about the issue. he said the conservative party was also investigating the allegations, but his frustration was clear. we should just be careful — there are independent inquiries ongoing. those haven't concluded. they're being done by very serious bodies. the gambling commission... your aide craig williams... the gambling commission... ..said that he made a huge

error ofjudgement. gambling commission and the police. it's important that nobody says or does anything that compromises the integrity of those investigations. then, this morning, the telegraph newspaper said a source close to a government department had suggested the names of those being investigated had been leaked from inside the metropolitan police. in a statement, a police spokesperson said... labour had called for the gambling commission quite simply to make public the names of all those who are under investigation. but it said... labour and the lib dems have called on rishi sunak to suspend any candidates who may be involved. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they'd be gone. their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. the gambling allegations aren't limited to those directly involved in politics. 0ne vip protection officer was arrested and questioned last week on suspicion of misconduct in public office. the bbc understands new information

has been given to the met about a handful of other officers — but sources have suggested that the information is sketchy. voters go to the polls in little more than a week. the current opinion polls suggest there are long odds on a conservative victory. so the prime minister will need to find a way to move the focus from gambling and onto issues that might have a more positive iain watson, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. nine days until polling day. it is a bit of a strange stage in the campaign because we have had all the announcements on policies and manifestos so i guess that is why the air can be filled very easily with a story like this gambling story. with a story like this gambling sto . ~ , ,., , , with a story like this gambling sto . ~ , , , , with a story like this gambling sto , , story. absolutely. this is an election campaign _ story. absolutely. this is an election campaign that i story. absolutely. this is an | election campaign that today story. absolutely. this is an i election campaign that today at least is happening on two levels. 0n least is happening on two levels. on one level, the parties are doing all the things they want to do, making

announcements they want to announce, the labour party talking about knife crime today, re—announcing measures they announced a few months ago. the lib dems are talking about social care as they have for much of the campaign and the conservative talking again about migration, legal and illegal. re—announcing or touting their policy that was in their manifesto to have parliament vote on an annual cap on migration numbers for the first time. the manifestos are out so the parties cannot do new announcements now, really. so you can forgive them for re—announcing things. but on this at the level you have this swelling gambling scandal which doesn't show any signs of abating. it is growing rather than contracting. the developments today, as you had, or about the metropolitan police. that is not in rishi sunak�*s control at all. however, it does remind voters that there is this a story, that there are four, at least, conservatives caught up in it and with nine days until polling day thatis with nine days until polling day that is not good for rishi sunak.

henry, thank you very much indeed. you can find a full list of candidates standing in every constituency on the bbc news website, where you can also find details of the main parties�* key pledges from their manifestos. sarah's here to tell us what else we need to know. wikileaks founderjulian assange — who has spent the last five years in a britishjail, fighting extradition to the united states — has left the uk after striking a deal with us authorities. he's expected to plead guilty to violating an american espionage law by uploading military files to his website in 2010 — but he'll spend no more time behind bars. paul hawkins reports. wikileaks published this clip on social media,

appearing to show its founder julian assange heading for stansted airport and flying out of the country at 5pm on monday afternoon. it also said he has spent 1901 days in prison for publishing the article ground breaking stories of government corruption in 2010. this period of our lives, i'm confident now, has come to an end. and i think that, by this time next week, julian will be free. those stories were top secret us military files, which is why, for the past 1a years, julian sanchez bought exhibition to the us to face charges of espionage. first by climbing asylum for seven years inside ecuador�*s london embassy until his arrest in 2019, then from belmarsh high security prison in london via the courts. he also faced charges of rape in sweden which were dropped and he has also denied. wikileaks says he is heading for the northern mariana islands in the south pacific to plead guilty to one criminal charge before heading on to nearby australia, where he was born. regardless of the views that people have about mr assange's activities,

the case has dragged on for too long. there's nothing to be gained by his continued incarceration, and we want him brought home to australia. he will spend no time in us custody because of the time spent in prison in the uk. paul hawkins, bbc news. us officials sayjulian assange is now expected to return to his native australia. 0ur sydney correspondent katy watson has been looking at the reaction there. well, there's, ithink, a cautious optimism. he has to stop in northern mariana islands — saipan — that's where he has to go to a us court and he will enter into the guilty plea, from then on, coming to australia. across the political spectrum there's a feeling of, this has been a long time coming and it's good that he'll be returning to australian soil. but for now, the government is remaining tight—lipped, saying that it's not appropriate to talk about ongoing proceedings. but anthony albanese, the prime minister, has certainly made this a long—running campaign,

he's spoken to the white house, he's brought up this topic time and time again and has said repeatedly that enough is enough, and julian assange needs to be back here in australia, where he's from. prison governors in england and wales are warning thatjails will run out of space within days. a letter from the prison governors association warns that the "entire criminaljustice system stands on the precipice of failure". the latest ministry ofjustice figures — published on friday — showed just under 1,400 spaces remaining. the government said the police and prison service have long—established processes to manage short—term capacity issues. a former fujitsu engineer will be questioned today about his role in designing the faulty software at the centre of the horizon it scandal. garethjenkins is a key figure in the inquiry into how hundreds of sub—postmasters were falsely accused of theft.

in breach of their duty as prosecutors. and they are not just... the inquiry is notjust scrutinising garethjenkins, the metropolitan police as well, who are investigating him over potential perjury and potentially perverting the course ofjustice. his lawyer has said it would be inappropriate to comment at this stage before he appears, but all of this puts into perspective why he is appearing over the course of four days in one go. that is even longer than paula vennells appeared, the former chief executive of the post office.- executive of the post office. azadeh , thank executive of the post office. azadeh . thank you- — the british tourist jay slater remains missing in tenerife — and the search has now entered its ninth day. the 19—year—old went missing after going to a house with two men he'd met at a music festival — and then trying to walk back to his own accommodation. search teams narrowed their efforts over the weekend on small buildings close to where his phone signal was last detected. princess anne has spent

a second night in hospital after an accident involving a horse at her estate in gloucestershire. our correspondent danjohnson joins us now from southmead hospital in bristol. dan, good morning. what can you tell us? , ., ., ., dan, good morning. what can you tell us? , ., ., �* dan, good morning. what can you tell us? ., ., �* “ us? good morning. i don't think we will aet us? good morning. i don't think we will get daily _ us? good morning. i don't think we will get daily updates _ us? good morning. i don't think we will get daily updates on _ us? good morning. i don't think we will get daily updates on princess i will get daily updates on princess anne's condition but she was described last night was conscious, comfortable, stable and expected to make a full recovery, although she is expected to be in hospital here for at least a few more days. this was a serious incident. we still don't have a clear idea of exactly what happened and it sounds like even princess anne herself is unable to remember the exact circumstances but some how when she was out walking in her country estate in gloucestershire, not riding but perhaps in the vicinity of horses, she somehow came into collision with one of them was kicked by one, which is how she sustained a head injury

and concussion. she was assessed on her estate by paramedics who responded and that is when they decided to drive her here to hospital and that is why she will stay here now for a few days receiving treatment under observation. the palace says it is a precaution. she is expected to recover but cannot undertake any of her royal duties at least for the next week, which means she will not be able to attend the state banquet for the japanese emperor, taking place at buckingham palace tonight. she will not be able to go on a trip to canada that she was due to take at the weekend. she is patron of loads of charities and organisations so she has apologised to the people she has disrupted because she is out of action. she is another senior member of the royal family was unavailable because of medical issues at least for the next week or so quite thanks, dan. shocking cctv footage has been released to remind rail passengers of the importance of keeping away from the platform edge at stations. before we play this — we should say nobody was hurt.

this happened at newark northgate station in nottinghamshire last month. you can see a three—year—old boy climbing off the platform and then falling onto the tracks. a woman sees him but is unable to help, before a manjumps down and lifts the boy to safety, with the help of a rail worker, who ushers the group away from the platform. just 12 seconds later a high—speed train speeds through the station. right where that child had been on the track. thank goodness they were safe. we know how dangerous the tracks themselves can be anyway, but the timing of that, the proximity of the timing of that, the proximity of the train, the speed of the train. really quick thinking by those passengers and the worker. the train firm — london north eastern railway —

said help is available for passengers travelling with luggage and children. it is hard to keep your eye on everything all at the same time, isn't it? shocking pictures. to reiterate, nobody was hurt. carol has got the weather for us this morning and lots of people waking up this morning wondering, is it's going to be a lovely sunny day for us? carol, do the damage. laughter good morning. for some of us we are waking upjust like that. this weather watcher picture was taken earlier in suffolk, blue skies and it is worth mentioning that the uv levels, as you would expect, are high across many areas today. the sun is very strong at this stage in june. not to be confused with the pollen levels, which are high or very high across much of the uk. there is quite a bit of cloud across the north and west to start the day. sunshine from the word go across the

midlands into the south—eastern corner. some of this cloud will break up, it will be a sunny day in the south—west, sunnier than yesterday, but we will have cloud lapping onshore from the north sea across north—east england, and the cloud for can offer some showers across scotland today with some drizzle at times in northern ireland. fresh in the north—west man yesterday, but still hot and humid, especially as we push down towards the south—east, where potentially we could still reach 30 degrees. through this evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade, we will be left with residual cloud and some clear skies. a little bit of missing us around, as well. once again, it won't be a cold night. these are our overnight lows. seven to 15 degrees. we start tomorrow on a mild or warrant note, a lot of dry weather, sunshine around, but cloud across north—east england and south—east scotland will push northwards through the course of the day and we could see one or two showers. some coastal mist at times

around the south—west but then the cloud will build in the west coming in a bit later and the temperatures 13 to 29 foot once again potentially we could reach 30 in the south—east. thank you very much indeed. in recent months health officials have been ramping up their campaigns encouraging families to get their children vaccinated against childhood diseases. later this morning we'll find out if it has worked or not, as the latest data on immunisation rates in england is released. last year, no vaccinations met the 95% target which is set by the world health organization. and that's causing concern — particularly as the number of measles cases in england has been rising. the figure stands at over 1,000 since october last year — with the majority of cases recorded in the west midlands.

whooping cough also continues to rise across england. there have been over four thousand seven hundred cases betweenjanuary and april this year. and take a look at this. this shows you how cases of whooping cough have increased since the beginning of the year. 555 cases injanuary, jumping to 1,888 in april. our health correspondent catherine burns has been to a playgroup, where she's been speaking to mums and dads. # happy birthday to you #. by the time a child turns one, they should have had three different sets of vaccines, starting to protect them from nine illnesses, like whooping cough. when they blow out the candles on their second birthday cake, they should have had more vaccines, including for measles. by the time they start school, more boosters helping their immunity. it's really important for all children to be vaccinated,

not just for their safety, but then for the children that they're around all the time, you know. they trust that it's really good for them to have their body immune and, yeah, to prevent such serious diseases in the future. i did my research on what _ the vaccinations were to be informed on what they're taking, _ but no concerns when i read into it. definitely do it. i don't believe in any conspiracies. health officials have targets for how many children they want to have certain key vaccines. the aim is for 95% to be protected by the time they're five. recently, we haven't been hitting that target. in fact, vaccination rates have been going generally in the wrong direction. most of the children at this playgroup are up to date with their vaccines, but not all. so i have given my children the measles and mmr vaccines, but i haven't given them whooping cough. i mean, if my children, if they start coughing, if they start doing it and i feel like, ok, it's getting a bit much, then maybe i'll readjust it, but,

to me, it's not 100% trustworthy. but if your kids start coughing, it will be too late. yeah. but it's a risk you're willing to take? yeah, i don't know. but listen to this. gasping and coughing. the reality of whooping cough — gasping for air. we're seeing the biggest outbreak for 12 years, and babies under six months are at the biggest risk. i'm very worried. we've already seen some deaths from the most recent outbreaks. and so i think we're really at a tipping point where there's a real risk for more children getting seriously ill and deaths from disease we can prevent. a kiss from mum for 12—week—old baby aiden ahead of three vaccines, including protection against whooping cough. sorry, my love. sharp scratch. baby cries. but within a few minutes, his tears have dried up. so we'll see you in four weeks. and mum severina is booking him in for his next appointment. there's only, like, a few seconds

of the crying and it's done, you know, and then he will be, for all of his life, strong. say hi. ciara daly has made it a priority to vaccinate baby shay. she got measles ten years ago and spent five days in isolation in hospital. really, really bad. i felt really, really poorly. were you scared? yeah, i was scared. probably by my worst, i could barely lift my head off the pillow. i felt really poorly and thought, yeah, i don't know why i'm so sick, but i might...i might even die. i wouldn't want anyone to get that poorly, especially children or babies. health officials will hope other parents listen to her message. catherine burns, bbc news. professor of child health calum semplejoins us now. thank you for coming in and talking to us. we have not had the figures,

were disrupted by the attack. campaigners have called on candidates to explain how they would tackle water pollution in the river thames during a protest last night. kayakers, paddleboarders and supporters from river action and from surfers against sewage took to the river close to thames water's headquarters in reading. they say plans to upgrade 250 of its sites have already been published. it's hit and miss, day by day. so i live close to the thames and it's a regular swimming spot for me — has been all my life. and you do have to think about whether you should go in or not. i take my children in, as well. so i'm particularly extra careful. i wouldn't go in after rain, because we do know that you're going to get more sewage pollution and other pollution that washes in off the land at that time. a ban on dumping rented electric bikes on pavements in one london borough is set to be passed. wandsworth council want to introduce the new rule for users once it has completed installing more docking

stations across busy parts of the borough. let's take a first look at the tubes. minor delays on the jubilee and piccadilly. severe delays on the hammmersmith and city line. now the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. high pressure remains in charge today and we're still under the influence of this hot and humid air mass. so feeling hot out there with sunshine quite widely and some patchy cloud developing today. so quite a bright start to the day. plenty of sunshine first thing, but we are expecting that cloud to build into the afternoon. but staying dry, with light winds and temperatures today reaching the high 20s quite widely — 30 celsius is not out of the question. for this evening, a fine evening, some patchy cloud. clearing skies overnight, light winds and another night where it will stay in around the mid to high teens, so perhaps an uncomfortable night to sleep in tonight. but it does mean for tomorrow morning, plenty of sunshine once again.

but looking ahead and we can see this area of low pressure nudging in across more northern parts of the country. and we do have this cold front approaching us for thursday. but it is a weak affair. by the time it reaches us, hardly any rain on it — maybe one or two light showers. largely dry conditions, but it will become cooler by the end of the week, into the weekend. that's it for now. there's more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london. i'll be back with you after nine. until then, it's back tojon and sarah. hello, this is breakfast with sarah campbell and jon kay. around 90,000 people were affected by delays and cancellations at manchester airport over the weekend, after a power cut caused major disruption to key services. we thought we would ask what happens

if you are left in the wrong place, have no luggage. how can you think about getting compensation. nina is taking a look at this. it is horrible when holidays go wrong. you said your kid's trolley did not turn up. i had it where the baggage did not turn up for a few days and we had to go to the supermarket. you can laugh about it later but not if you're carrying the baby without the trolley. and it was utter chaos at manchester airport's terminals one and two at the weekend, after a powerfailure meant more than a hundred flights were cancelled. as you can see in these images — luggage piled high, halls packed full of people, and plenty of holidays off to a horrible start. there will be a knock—on beyond today to try and get those holidays sorted and reunite people with their luggage. this is the extent of the disruption. a quarter of all outbound flights were cancelled by lunchtime on sunday.

at least another 50 inbound were cancelled. so that's a lot of travellers looking for compensation. but that will not come automatically. that's because the power failure that caused the disruption has been deemed an extraordinary event, meaning the airlines are not liable. but if your luggage isn't where it should be, then the airline is obliged to get them it back to you, and to cover expenses incurred including clothes and other reasonable necessities. so keep an eye on what you spend. it's worth checking your insurance policy as soon as possible to see what you're covered for as sometimes there's a deadline to claim. manchester airport told us that it's best to talk to your airline direct about where your bag might be. it's possible it ended up at the right destination, but on the wrong plane. so stay in touch with your flight provider. thank you for your questions this morning.

i'm going over to sarah and jon because they'rejoined by consumer rights expertjane hawkes. good morning. iwant good morning. i want to start with a question from peter who said i realise i cannot claim from the airline, but surely manchester airport can pay out as it was their generator at fault?— airport can pay out as it was their generator at fault? airports have a du of generator at fault? airports have a duty of care _ generator at fault? airports have a duty of care to _ generator at fault? airports have a duty of care to passengers. - generator at fault? airports have a duty of care to passengers. it i generator at fault? airports have a| duty of care to passengers. it could be argued under the consumer rights act they did not deliver the service with reasonable care and skill, but you would need to show you suffered financial loss from that. you would need the same evidence required to provide to the airline to recoup expenses and costs. t5 provide to the airline to recoup expenses and costs.— provide to the airline to recoup expenses and costs. is there any insurance _ expenses and costs. is there any insurance that _ expenses and costs. is there any insurance that protects - expenses and costs. is there any insurance that protects you i expenses and costs. is there any insurance that protects you from j insurance that protects you from these events? is it up to you to take the risk? i these events? is it up to you to take the risk?— these events? is it up to you to take the risk? ., ., ~ ., , ., take the risk? i do not think anyone should take — take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a _ take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a risk _ take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a risk this _ take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a risk this year. - take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a risk this year. we i take the risk? i do not think anyone should take a risk this year. we are| should take a risk this year. we are looking at an unpredictable world

and disruption is increasing. you need to have a belt and braces approach to travel. when you choose travel insurance, do not go for a token policy. read all the terms and conditions and look into it and make sure it covers you for a variety of circumstances. travel disruption cover is at a premium. the price you pay for not getting it could be an awful lot more. people need to bear that in mind and not skimp on travel insurance. get it as soon as you book the holiday. do not wait until closer to the time. do, book the holiday. do not wait until closer to the time.— closer to the time. a lot of messages. _ closer to the time. a lot of messages, thank - closer to the time. a lot of messages, thank you, i closer to the time. a lot of - messages, thank you, everybody. closer to the time. a lot of _ messages, thank you, everybody. john was flying from terminal three in manchester on sunday. the main problems were at terminals one and two but he says because of the delays and traffic, he still missed his flight. he is gutted and also

to protect you. and important to mention a package holiday under those arrangements, best consumer protection, and pay by credit card. and you know where you stand. tony said, i was at manchester airport on sunday and i want to say everyone did the best they could, assistant managers, luggage handlers and all roles in between so thank you to staff or trying their hardest. it is not easy on _ staff or trying their hardest. it is not easy on the _ staff or trying their hardest. it 3 not easy on the other side of the counter. . ~ not easy on the other side of the counter. ., ~ , ., some people we spoke to about the delays at the airport had been trying to get to germany to watch the football. we think most have got there ahead of tonight's game against slovenia. whether they will be happy with the result we will find out tonight.

john is in cologne. i guess the pressure is off because england is already through but there has been scrutiny on individual performances. it might have passed people by that england have made the last 16 with results going their way last night. what they want to do against slovenia tonight is produce and win that will see them top the group and avoid germany in the next round. the flags are going up in a main square in cologne. and you can probably see some essentials being delivered in the shops. some of the fans. are we feeling confident? they are feeling confident. despite the negativity... just about to be run over by the truck. despite the negativity around some of the performances, certainly the draw against denmark, the england fans are hoping they can

produce the result that see them top the group and also an improved performance and that is something gareth southgate has called upon. he said he knows his team can play better. andy swiss reports. england fans in cologne, out enjoying a cruise on the river rhine. but after their team's stodgy start to the euros, it's hardly been plain sailing. we've got the best attacking players, i think, in the whole tournament, but we just haven't been using them right. we don't want to peak too early, so build into the tournament slow and steady, and then hopefully by knockouts, we're up to full speed. having watched the first two games, are you still feeling confident? laughter. oh, come on! stupid question. yes —100%. it will get better. crowd booing. england were booed off by some supporters after last week's frustrating draw with denmark, but they are still top of their group, and these fans are keeping the faith. england. you never know what you're going to get with them,

but fans are there to support them all the way. and here we go, it is coming home, hopefully! i think once they've scored, they go on the defence rather than the attack, and i think they need to change that side of things. but you're still confident? oh, yeah! southgate�*s got it, kid. no problem. england haven't been short of critics, though. captain harry kane says former players who are now pundits should be more supportive. but the manager says he's not bothered. it's not important to me. there's nothing to be gained from us that's going to help improve us listening to external criticism. we know what we've done well — we're very honest about that. we know where we need to be better — we're brutally honest about that. so while england fans will be hoping for a win here against slovenia, they'll be hoping for a performance, too. remember, england arrived here in germany as one of the tournament favourites. it's time to start showing why. andy swiss, bbc news, cologne.

there should be some positivity. they have four points and have qualified with a game in hand and hopefully the improved display as far as performances are concerned will come later. italy scored a 98th minute goal to draw h with croatia — a result that sees them qualify for the knockout stages and all but knock croatia out. spain were already through before their final game against albania, but made sure they finished top of group b with three wins from three. they won i—o in dusseldorf. ferran thomas with the only goal. it was the defeat for albania that means england qualified for the last

16 with a game to spare. they have four pirates and our guaranteed qualification as one of the best placed third teams but they want to qualify top. victory against slovenia will do that. the fans are starting to feel in here. breakfast is being served. are we confident about a result? yes? yes. ithink is being served. are we confident about a result? yes? yes. i think a resounding yes. just need gareth southgate�*s team to produce. studio: resounding, iam not sure southgate�*s team to produce. studio: resounding, i am not sure it was resounding. we reported last week there were claims that scotland fans had drunk cologne dry and there was no beer left but apparently there is more on the way. have you seen any sign? i think i just saw that truck, plenty arriving in the square, delivering essentials. you can probably see the beers being stocked in the shops here. just give it a few hours to

chill those. laughter. they will be out, right. i am not sure that is enough, to be honest. studio: i reckon there might be some liquid breakfasts going on. i am sorry for whoever plays in cologne next week. there will be nothing left. here's carol. good morning. a mild start. some blue skies. beautiful picture taken in kent earlier. the uv levels are high across many areas. strong sunshine. we have a weather front pushing southwards. it is bumping into high pressure. it is not making a lot of progress and it is weak. we are starting with more cloud in the north and west with drizzle across

northern ireland and scotland. some of the cloud will break up with more sunny spells developing. but some showers in eastern scotland. we will have mistiness across north—east england at times. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far and the temperature in wisley reached 28.3. we could see similar today and potentially 30 degrees but in the north and west it will be cooler. in northern ireland, they reached 26. today belfast reaching 19. overnight, showers eitherfade today belfast reaching 19. overnight, showers either fade or move away. some cloud stop coastal fog forming. but not a cold night and the overnight low between 6—15. which is how we start tomorrow. cloud in north—east england and

south—east scotland retreating, producing the odd shower in scotland. some mist close to the coast but strong sunshine. then we have the arrival of rain. temperatures, belfast 21 tomorrow. still the potential for 30 somewhere in the south—east. still humid here. low pressure will continue to push across our shores. and look at the isobars. windy towards the west. we will see rain. and into the weekend, high pressure tries to build again. on thursday, the weather front bumping into high pressure. around the low pressure, we see wet and windy conditions. and cooler. 15—17, up windy conditions. and cooler. 15—17,

up to 26 in the south—east. still quite high for the time of year. if you are heading to glastonbury, it looks like it will be mostly dry, which is good news. it is certainly good news for those people. we are heading to the beach. we all know that a fresh lick of paint can make our homes feel a bit brighter. but the seaside town of newhaven is hoping that a new series of murals will turn the tide on years of decline. the look again festival sees top street artists putting their mark on buildings, celebrating the area's landscape, history and culture. chrissie reidy has been for a look around. there's a surprise around every corner of this coastal town. as part of the look again festival, the blank walls are gone. instead, dramatic designs and a kaleidoscope of colour.

the murals are bold, subversive and hope to bring vitality to the neglected streets of this port town. it's kind of broken—window theory, really, in that if you break — if one window is broken on the street, the degradation starts to spread across the street. and if you fix that window, then there's a pride starts to re—emerge and everybody else will start to fix their windows. and that's what we're really hoping is the knock—on effect. and already we've seen that. lots of people are getting in touch to ask us if we can paint their walls now. a diverse range of vibrant murals litter the town. some just make you want to dance. it's an invitation to show up as you are on any given day

and to be in the moment, really, and to kind of, yeah, bring yourself as you feel and to sort of shake it out and dance through these complex times that we're in. there's a trail of 15 pieces of artwork, each reflecting newhaven's rich history. it's been like a lot of kind of coastal towns — you know, investment has kind of disappeared. so i think through kind of creative work like this, you can revitalise and bring energy to a place and just kind of reframe what people think of the place, really. it's time to celebrate this sussex town and, hopefully, the festival of art may inspire you to look again. chrissie reidy, bbc news. i love that. it is bright and

cheery. what started off as a way of saying thank you to those who helped us throughout the pandemic has now become an annual event. the focus of this year's thank you day on july the seventh, is to both recognise and celebrate the efforts of everyone who makes a difference to our communities. let's take a look at how it's been marked before. # i wanna thank you. # thank you for being a friend. # people let me tell you 'bout friends. # i wanna thank you. # thank you for being a friend. # whoa!

# i'll tell you 'bout a friend. # thank you right now for being a friend. # thank you for being a friend. # i wanna tell you 'bout a pal and i'll tell you again. # thank you for being a friend. # i wanna thank you, thank you. # thank you for being a friend. # tell you 'bout a friend... cheering. # thank you for being a friend. actor, broadcaster and thank you day ambassador ross kempjoins us now. from rickmansworth, where you have some friends. what are you up to? we have some friends. what are you up to? , have got some people from the royal voluntary service. they'd turn up rain or shine voluntary service. they'd turn up rain orshine to voluntary service. they'd turn up rain or shine to help people in the community. they serve lunch. this morning it is breakfast. you cannot

underestimate the difference it makes to people behind me. some have lost loved ones, they are on their own, they can come here and be looked after and they get a sense of community. and it brings people together. that is what we want to celebrate on the 7th ofjuly. we want to say thank you to all the people in our lives to go the extra mile for us and loved ones, but also to bring communities together. how did ou aet to bring communities together. how did you get involved and why are un ambassador?— ambassador? basically, i got asked. i also think it— ambassador? basically, i got asked. | also think it is— ambassador? basically, i got asked. i also think it is a _ ambassador? basically, i got asked. i also think it is a wonderful- i also think it is a wonderful thing. it started in 2021. we were going through covid, been through it, and i think it has had a massive effect on people. we cannot quantify that right now. a lot of people are feeling disenfranchised. they feel may be they are not cared or looked

after in their community. this is an opportunity to reach out to those people and say you are part of our community, pleasejoin in on the seventh, have a picnic, a barbecue. go round to a neighbour's garden. i lived in london as a young student many years ago and not knowing a person who lived a brick width away from me. go round and say hello. if they tell you they are not interested, what have you lost? go home and open a bottle of what you fancy, have a nice cup of tea, lift a cup and say cheers for volunteers. i suspect your neighbours now know who exactly you are. there is no way you are hiding. it is interesting. during the pandemic, people spending more time at home and clapping for carers and that kind of thing, a lot of us felt we got to know neighbour is better at that point. and then

the pandemic ended and we got back to our busy lives. maybe we lost what we began to grasp. i to our busy lives. maybe we lost what we began to grasp.- what we began to grasp. i can remember — what we began to grasp. i can remember going _ what we began to grasp. i can remember going to _ what we began to grasp. i can remember going to a - what we began to grasp. i can remember going to a street . what we began to grasp. i can j remember going to a street in hertfordshire. everybody had found somebody that was a friend through the pandemic. i said i can only hope it carries on afterwards. but we went back to ourjobs. we went back on the wheel as it were. that is what this is partially about. remembering that you do not have to stay on the wheel. you have an opportunity to say thank you for people who go the extra mile in your community. you also have an opportunity to come together. we live in a fantastic country. we live in a democracy. we have a lot of things to be thankful for. and those people who go the extra mile. john and ian at the cricket club, i've
