6:00 am
we are in sunny south shields, getting reaction to the debate last night and asking voters, have you made your mind up yet? now there are just seven days to go. junior doctors in england will begin a five—day strike later this morning in their continuing protest about pgy- good morning. millions of people receive parking fines each year. the new code of practice aims to make rules in private car parks fairer and more consistent. how much will it benefit drivers? england find out their opponents for the last 16 of euro 202a. slovakia's draw with romania means they will meet england on sunday afternoon. some sunshine in the south and east. heavy showers and strong winds. all
6:01 am
of the details later. it's thursday, the 27th ofjune. rishi sunak and sir keir starmer have gone head to head in the final televised debate ahead of the election. with just one week left until voters head to the polls, the leaders clashed over key issues like tax and immigration. our political correspondent hannah miller has this report. with a week to go until election day, the stakes for these two men couldn't be higher. and the debate started on one issue that continues to overshadow this campaign. people are dismayed by the lack of integrity and honesty in politics today. after the recent allegations about political betting, how would you restore trust in politics? i've been crystal clear. anyone who has broken the law, broken the rules, should not only face the full consequences of the law. i will ensure that they're booted
6:02 am
out of the conservative party. i've made very clear to my candidates that i expect high standards in politics. i said last week that the prime minister should have taken decisive action. disabled people like me get hit in the worst way. - benefits was a major topic, but it was the labour leader's personal attack on his opponent that earned him the first applause of the night. if you listen to people in the audience across the country more often, you might not be quite so out of touch. applause. immigration came up, too, leading to a flurry of frustrated exchanges between the leaders. we're an island, why can't we easily close our borders? _ if keir starmer is your prime minister, all those illegal migrants will be out on our streets. record numbers have come under this prime minister's watch — record numbers coming across the channel. 50,000 people have come since rishi sunak has been prime minister —
6:03 am
50,000 across the channel. labour say they want to return more failed asylum seekers to the countries they came from. but this jab from the prime minister earned him a round of applause. do you know where these people come from? he's not answering the question, you can see that. do you know where they come from? iran, syria, afghanistan. so when keir starmer says he's going to return people, is he going to sit down? are you going to sit down with the iranian ayatollahs? are you going to try and do a deal with the taliban? it's completely nonsensical what you are saying. applause. brexit and tax were also on the agenda. the labour party's policies will mean all your taxes are going to go up by thousands of pounds. it is in their dna. mark my words — your pension, your council tax, your home, your car, you name it, they will tax it. well, pensioners are not going to be better off with a prime minister who's making promises that he can't keep because they're not funded. that's exactly what liz truss got wrong. but perhaps the night belonged to audience member robert. mr sunak, i think you made a fair job of being chancellor, -
6:04 am
but you're a pretty - mediocre prime minister. sir keir, i think that your strings are being pulled by very senior. members of the labour party. are you two really the best we've got to be the next i prime minister of our great country? applause. a sentiment that appeared to be shared by many at the end of a debate that was punchy and feisty. hannah miller, bbc news. reacting to last night's debate, the liberal democrats said the audience had "spoken for the nation". the snp accused them of ignoring crucial topics such as scotland. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now.
6:05 am
away henry zeffmanjoins us now. from away henry zeffman joins us now. from that specifically, have away from that specifically, there have been further developments regarding the betting scandal. do you want to bring us up—to—date? little surprise it was the first question of the debate last night. it has been such a big story. keir starmer really went for rishi sunak on this. he said it wasn'tjust about betting, it was about standards in public life, linking it to partygate where rishi sunak as well as boris johnson to partygate where rishi sunak as well as borisjohnson got a fixed penalty notice was that talking about the fact he had suspended two conservative earlier this week after what he said were internal inquiries, pointing out a labour politician kevin craig has also been suspended over a bet he plays. what has developed today? something new has developed today? something new has happened. we have been talking a lot about the gambling commission. they have been looking at potential
6:06 am
offences under the gambling act. they will be looked at in investigations by the metropolitan police. not in all of them. the metropolitan police says in some cases they are going to take the lead on assessing whether other offences may have been committed, offences may have been committed, offences beyond the gambling laws, offences beyond the gambling laws, offences like misconduct in public office. remember one of the metropolitan police officers, one of the close protection team of rishi sunak was arrested and suspended. it is another reminder weather week to go in this general election that this particular story probably has some distance left to run.- this particular story probably has some distance left to run. thank you very much- — you have more about the latest strikes in the nhs. junior doctors in england will begin a five—day strike injust under an hour,
6:07 am
in their long—running pay dispute with the government. it will be the 11th walkout since march last year. nhs england has warned of major disruption with the warmer weather leading to additional pressure on services. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. it's all right. my hip is hurting now. we first spoke to anita, a retired nurse, in march last year, just before the start of strike action byjunior doctors in england. knackering. at that time, she had been waiting weeks for an assessment on her painful ankle but it got delayed to the end of april 2023 because of the strike. she felt then that industrial action could harm patients and she's not changed her mind. you build yourself up and you think, "oh, yes, it's going to get down in x next number of days or weeks," and then when that happens, and they turn round and say, "no, we're not doing it", because it impacts on daily life. this long—running dispute centres on pay. he the doctors' union, the bma, has asked for a 35% rise forjunior
6:08 am
doctors in england to make up for what it says are 15 years of below inflation pay deals. the government has described that as unreasonable and points to a pay increase wealth, on average, nearly 9% in the last financial year. what do we want? pay restoration. when do we want it? now. both conservative and labour have called on the junior doctors to cancel the strike, coming as it does just days before the uk general election. but doctors leaders say there is still time for ministers to act. we're asking for an offer that we can take to our committee that could be implemented now. we are asking for a commitment, in the same way we've heard a commitment in manifestoes in other things from rishi sunak. nhs bosses are by now all too familiar with the pressures that strike days bring, likely to be intensified by the hot weather. a&e has been very busy in recent months. may saw record attendances in our emergency departments but we will prioritise those services, but we will do that by moving senior doctors out of other work and that unfortunately
6:09 am
means we will see disruption in our routine and elective care. this latest round of strike action will end at 7am on tuesday next week, the 2nd ofjuly. the conservatives, labour and the liberal democrats all say, if elected, they will immediately try to restart talks with the bma. whoever wins the election being held two days after the strike finishes will know this is one of the first issues they have to deal with. dominic hughes, bbc news. a former fujitsu software engineer has admitted that the post office asked him to alter his evidence in court, to make it less emotive — and that a witness statement he had prepared, was changed to save the post office from embarrassment. more than 700 sub—postmasters were prosecuted for fraud and theft based on faulty data from the horizon system. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. sub—postmaster noel thomas on his way to prison in 2006.
6:10 am
he spent his 60th birthday behind bars. it took 15 years to clear his name, at the court of appeal. garethjenkins, here in the middle, was the fujitsu engineer, who was used by the post office as an expert witness to defend the horizon it system in court. he was asked to draft a witness statement on what he thought could be causing the problems in noel thomas' branch accounts. he says one possible explanation — there's been some sort of system failure. but then he was forwarded this e—mailfrom post office investigator graham ward, saying, "this statement needs more work. i think the system failure line is potentially very damaging," saying, "it's more important to get it right and ensure we are not embarrassed at court". do you agree that mr ward was seeking here directly to influence the contents of your witness statement in criminal
6:11 am
proceedings before the crown court? i think that could be interpreted in that way, yes. do you interpret it in that way? i think he wasjust looking at getting my meaning made clearer. and here's how mr ward sought to improve it. he strikes out the line about system failure, saying it's a really poor choice of words. it may well support the postmaster�*s claim that the system is to blame for the losses. at the time, did you consider his approach — his conduct — to be appropriate? i saw him as trying to get to improve the way that the statement was worded. so you thought this was appropriate? i didn't think it was inappropriate at the time. the statement wasn't ultimately heard in court as noel thomas pleaded guilty to false, accounting to avoid a more serious charge of theft in the hope it
6:12 am
would keep him out ofjail. it's been 17 years for me. my family has gone through hell. i've been lucky, to be quite honest, that i've got such a good family and friends. but, you know, it sickens you, to be quite honest, what they've been doing to people. garethjenkins insisted the changes still accurately reflected what had happened, just using less emotive words. emma simpson, bbc news at the post office inquiry. detectives in tenerife are continuing their search for the missing british teenagerjay slater. the 19—year—old disappeared after attending a music festival on the island ten days ago. he told a friend his phone battery was about to die and he had no water — but was making his way back to his accommodation. officers have described the search for him as intense. julian assange is back home in australia with his wife and children

community — the trade bodies that represent private parking companies have published a new code of practice for their members. they say this will provide consistent rules. one of the key elements is the introduction of a ten—minute grace period. so every vehicle in a private car park will be given ten mins after the ticket has expired before a fine is issued. another requirement would be for car parking firms to ensure that rules on parking on private land are clearly marked for drivers. the new code of practice also keeps an existing cap on parking charges at a maximum of £100 — which is reduced to £60 if paid within 1a days. these rules come into force in the autumn and firms will have until 2026 to comply. five years ago parliament decided the government should set up a code of practice in. by law. legal challenges and the coming election

6:21 am
here in the uk last night and tonight will seejoe biden and donald trump face—off in the first presidential debate ahead of november's us elections. one area where they differ is on the environment — thanks partly to jo biden's climate law. the bbc�*s north america business correspondent, michelle fleury, has travelled to dalton in georgia to find out more. welcome tojoe biden's economy — a korean company spending billions of its own and the us government's dollars to build a new factory for a new industry — a key part of the president's pitch to voters. we're watching this cell type. you're going to get about 20 or 30. we're going to send 20 back to 0pt. solar panel maker ocells is spending $2.5 billion to triple the size of its current capacity, employing a,000 people by year's end in a district being left behind. thanks to the biden administration's inflation reduction act, or ira, as it's known, wafers mainly made in china will soon be made in america. we're currently the only facility that's going to be making cells
6:22 am
and wafers, and that's what ocells is building in cartersville, but that's the only such facility like it that's under construction in the united states. so the ira has been really successful at generating new investment, but our industry needs a lot more investment. so you think without it it would have taken longer to get to this point? or it might not have happened at all? president biden boasts his approach has created nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs, something these chll workers are grateful for. the company has given me a great opportunity to start from a very entry level to move to a engineering spot, which for me, you know, it's something that i'm thankful for. we're also one of the largest facilities in the western hemisphere, and that's something that can be proud of. it's like, "oh, we have this here and most people don't anywhere else in the united states". but while chlls�* jobs may be green, this district is deep red. dalton is in donald trump country in one of the most bitterly—contested states in this year's election. democrats hope that by creating
6:23 am
clean energyjobs here, they may create more biden voters come november. here's what they used to make in dalton — carpet. it once claimed to be the world's carpet capital. one of the small carpet firms in town belongs to jan porquoi, a democrat. nobody cares about clean energy. not around here. that is the type of stuff i would call the latte liberals care about in the big city. he doesn't think the inflation reduction act will do much forjoe biden's re—election chances, not in dalton. in the business community, there is a resentment against that company because they got breaks from the government, leaving the local guy wondering whether the government, yet again, is picking winners and losers. pancake — banana pancake. at the 0akwood cafe in dalton, the food is hearty, the conversation flows. but you won't hear much talk of greenjobs. who had the omelette? hash browns.
6:24 am
0wner casey carpenter, who was the local republican representative, explains why his party doesn't like the democrats' economic strategy. probably the republican turnoff has always been... it's kind of shoved down their throat with subsidies instead of letting it naturally evolve. for years, republicans have been against solar panels but i think there's a place for it. i think diversification in energy independence, those things are republican words. the biden administration is pouring billions into red districts in the hope a green and prosperous future is made in america. the presidential debate is an opportunity for him to claim credit. so far, it's not clear who will reap the benefit come november. michelle fleury, bbc news, dalton, georgia. coming up on breakfast... we'll hear how prince harry has been opening up about dealing with grief, in an emotional conversation with a war widow.
6:25 am
time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the latest strike action byjunior doctors is due to start shortly. the nhs says the doctors' union the bma has agreed that some junior doctors, who were due to go on strike, will turn up to work at hospitals in south london that were hit by a major cyber attack three weeks ago. doctors will return to support cancer surgery in particular. some staff on gtr trains will wear body—worn cameras as part of a crackdown on anti social behaviour. the company, which runs southern, gatwick express and thameslink trains, says it's investing two and a half million pounds to help tackle abuse and disorder on its network. staff have reported a 23% increase in verbal assaults and a 10% increase in physical assaults over the past year. a new superhero drama series
6:26 am
"supacell", filmed in peckham, launches this week. for rapman, the london rapper turned film director, it marks a return to his south london roots following his debut feature " blue story". now peckham has mad personality. so i'm down there. so it feels good. it feels good to be here at a more advanced stage. in my career, i've never pursued a career in filmmaking. i just wanted to tell these stories. and, you know, it started on youtube. and then a few years later, here i am, a big netflix show. so i honestly, i'm still overwhelmed. i'm really grateful for it. and i'm just i'm just happy, man. i hope i can keep on going. let's take a look at the tubes now — now onto the weather with kate
6:27 am
good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures of 30.5 recorded at wisley. last night was very hot and sticky as well, but today you can see this cold front sinking south and that will eventually introduce some slightly fresher air. now, it was a beautiful start down in waterloo this morning. a little bit of high cloud, but some beautiful colours. there is some high cloud around, but plenty of sunshine. you can see this band of cloud, though. that's our cold front, which will sweep through the cloud will clear later to sunshine, but it will start to feel that little bit fresher. the top temperature today around 2a or 25, but mightjust get a little bit cooler by the end of the afternoon. then overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear, but we've lost that humid air. so it's not going to be as uncomfortable. tonight, the minimum temperature between nine and 12 celsius. for tomorrow, it's a bright start to friday. it is going to feel a little fresher. it's a breezier day, a little bit more cloud for the afternoon. the weekend is looking largely fine and dry, but temperatures, like i say, a little bit cooler than the last couple.
6:28 am
and before we go, a reminder you can hear bbc london's election debate this morning with eddie nestor at ten o'clock on bbc radio london, with highlights at 6.30 on bbc one. it'll also be available on the iplayer. but that's about it from me. all the day's stories are on our website. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. let's take a look at today's papers and many as you might expect are leading on the fallout from last night's final leaders debate between rishi sunak and sir keir starmer, before the general election. the guardian's headline describes the bbc debate between the pair as "tetchy" — but says sir keir took aim at the conservatives' "culture
6:29 am
at the top" following news of the election betting scandal. "sunak rams home tax message" is the times' headline as it says the prime minister reiterated his disputed tax warnings about labour, with the uk. the daily telegraph's headline also focuses on rishi sunak�*s warning to voters not to — in his words — surrender britain to labour, a word he used a number of times in last night's debate. you can see a full round—up of some of the key takeaways from last night's debate over on the bbc news website, just search for election 202a. lots of topics were discussed last night, and bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been taking a look at what exactly what was said and how they check out. good morning. yes, a lot of heated exchanges last night. but let's start off with this one on small boats. the numbers have come down over the past 12 months compared
6:30 am
to the 12 months before. but in order to fully solve this problem, you need a deterrent. there are tens of thousands. 50,000 people have come since rishi sunak has been prime minister, 50,000 across the channel. let me show you what's actually happened in the last few years. we've got this graphic here. the number of small boats crossings has gone up overall. keir starmer was right to say that 50,000 people have entered the country on small boats since rishi sunak became prime minister. but they were both using different calculations about what's happening now. it is true to say, although this doesn't show it, as rishi sunak claimed, that small boats crossings are down over the last 12 months, they're down 30%. however, have a look at this line in red. so far this year, there have been a record number of people crossing the channel on small boats to the end ofjune. there are, of course, questions about who would reduce those numbers and who has the best policy.
6:31 am
but that is some context about the figures that were discussed last night. another thing that came up was this can the conservatives raise the money they claim from welfare cuts? so the ifs also said that it's right to identify welfare as a challenge that needs to be addressed. and the ifs also acknowledge that when the conservatives previously set out savings that they would get from the welfare bill, the ifs didn't think it would happen and in fact they were delivered. and i'm sure bbc verify will put that quote on their website. this is about whether the conservatives found the money they pledged in welfare savings in 2015, and it's a bit more complicated than the prime minister made out. it is right to say that the institute for fiscal studies concluded this that the savings were broadly delivered, albeit two years later, than planned. but the government's spending watchdog isn't as convinced. this is the office for budget responsibility in 2019 and they say about a third of the money, £a billion, wasn't found.
6:32 am
on this question about welfare savings, there was a claim from keir starmer, too, that the money the conservatives want to save from the welfare budget has already been spent, as his chancellor has said that the money he's relying on has already been spent. again, it is more complicated than that. some of the savings were identified before, in the government's budget, but not all of them. some haven't, and the conservatives have insisted they will go further and find more savings. finally, throughout the whole campaign, both of these men have been trading blows on tax and spending. last night was no different. think what a labour government would mean. can you afford to pay at least £2,000 more in tax? a reminder, we've checked this one before. it risks misleading people. it's based on questionable assumptions from political advisers. so all of this is some context about the claims made last night.
6:33 am
there is plenty more, looking at both of these leaders and other parties and other debates on the bbc website. there's one week until voters across the uk go to the polls to cast their vote on who they'd like to form the next government. nina's in the town of south shields this morning which since boundary changes, is part of the south tyneside constituency. she's been speaking to voters there about the issues that matter to them. good morning nina. it looks like a lovely morning. it certainly is. good morning to you, lucky— certainly is. good morning to you, iucky rne — certainly is. good morning to you, lucky me being in sunny south shields — lucky me being in sunny south shields. the sun was out yesterday and voters — shields. the sun was out yesterday and voters were out and many acknowledged this has been a campaign like no other as they talked — campaign like no other as they talked about some of the energy and speed _ talked about some of the energy and speed it _ talked about some of the energy and speed it has felt like because it was sprung upon us quite quickly after— was sprung upon us quite quickly after iots — was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but
6:34 am
others was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but others talk was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but others talk about was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but others talk about the was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but others talk about the issues was sprung upon us quite quickly after lots of anticipation but others talk about the issues they've had with _ others talk about the issues they've had with this campaign with some referring — had with this campaign with some referring to the betting allegations and others to the tone of the debates— and others to the tone of the debates we've heard like the one last night— debates we've heard like the one last night and many talking about the fact— last night and many talking about the fact that nobody has impressed them _ the fact that nobody has impressed them on _ the fact that nobody has impressed them on the very basics, the bread—and—butter issues and with one week to _ bread—and—butter issues and with one week to go. _ bread—and—butter issues and with one week to go, lots of voters are wondering, should i even vote at all? by the seaside in south shields, nick's surf school is looking forward to a busy summer, but excited about a possible change in government. well, not exactly. people want change at the moment. starmer will do. that's what the election feels like, is it's just it's a lush place. but there's a lot of challenges in terms ofjust access to resources. and from this beautiful bay, you only have to head a couple of miles inland to hear why enthusiasm is being tested. elda uses this subsidized community shop to top up the basics. he's always voted, but this
6:35 am
time he's given up. it's all a waste of time like. i always used to vote, but i'm not voting at all this time. i just don't want to. i just don't think any good. we were not a food bank in the community shops. it's just literally providing people with the essential food that the need, the staples for the cupboard so they know they can come here to pay the ea and they know that they can feed themselves and the children. it is a lifeline for our customers because theyjust haven't got the money to buy food. and that's what we provide. but which policy pulls you in will depend on your priority. forjoan, it's the green spaces that she thinks have been forgotten. my message to the future government . would be to restore local authority. budgets, mandate them to look after the parks l and fund them accordingly.
6:36 am
i would like any incoming government to take more notice of what local people are saying, especially about vandalism. in the park, we have terrible vandalism here. this high street, like so many others, has felt the pressures of the cost of living and the closures that have come with it. we need more social housing. so i want to know if anybody's going to actually build more social housing instead of building these massive estates. and the houses are like £350,000 to buy. but you need social housing for people who do want to work, just can't afford the mortgage. i'd like to see a bit of honesty about where the money- is going to come to fix the public services in this country, - which to me seem to be . absolutely on their knees. nothing works. i feel like like when you're a mum, it's quite hard work and stuff to actually like go out and things with people. so i feel like when you're a mum,
6:37 am
it's nice to actually meet new people and stuff like out and about. every constituency has its strengths. each one comes with its own challenges. trust will win votes here. and who will serve these people best? with a week to go, there's still time to win that trust or to lose it. there is indeed. good morning from coleman's seafood. good morning, gang. are we well? luke is one of our political correspondence in the north—east and it's easy to look at a seat like south shields and say it is labour through and through for almost a hundred years but the wider region brought some real surprises in 2019. ., ., ., in 2019. could it again? it good. this seat has _ in 2019. could it again? it good. this seat has been _ in 2019. could it again? it good. this seat has been labour - in 2019. could it again? it good. this seat has been labour since | in 2019. could it again? it good. i this seat has been labour since the 19305 this seat has been labour since the 1930s with a this seat has been labour since the 19305 with a 9000 this seat has been labour since the 1930s with a 9000 majority so rock—solid labour but this region has become more volatile in the last two years and in 2019 the conservatives took a swathe of labour seats across the north—east,
6:38 am
the likes of sedgefield, tony blairseat and bishop auckland and blyth just up the coast, a real shock but a lot has changed since then. 0ne change has been the constituency boundary changes so a lot of the seeds are gone but also there's been a huge change in the polling which has changed the economy in this part of the world. at the polls are right then labour has a strong chance of notjust taking the seat back but also winning some rock—solid conservative seats in the north—east, the likes of hexham, so a really volatile and interesting situation in the north—east. interesting situation in the north-east.— interesting situation in the north-east. ~ . , , , north-east. what is interesting is once the allegiances _ north-east. what is interesting is once the allegiances have - north-east. what is interesting is once the allegiances have gone i north-east. what is interesting is i once the allegiances have gone they don't necessarily return. quickly, we talk a lot about the betting allegations and is that something people have been talking about on the street? it people have been talking about on the street? ., , _, , ., the street? it has come up and conserved _ the street? it has come up and conserved to — the street? it has come up and conserved to home _ the street? it has come up and conserved to home -- - the street? it has come up and l conserved to home -- consulting conserved to home —— consulting campaigners think they are blocking the message about the positive changes— the message about the positive changes they brought in. one other 'oke changes they brought in. one other joke in_ changes they brought in. one other

6:46 am
worth pointing out that it has really opened up for them now at this tournament. shall we pause for a moment and show you how that is the case because as you say, it is slovakia up next for them after their draw with romania last night confirming their place in the last 16. it was slovakia who took the lead in this one. then romania equalised with a penalty, so it is romania who top the group ahead of belgium, of all teams. so slovakia for england next, who advances one of the best third—place side and will meet england at five o'clock on sunday. so clear your diary is for that one. how about this for a surprise? georgia are through to the last 16 after their shock win over cristiano ronaldo's portugal which led to england playing slovakia. portugal had already won the group and they will play slovenia next who finished third in england's group.
6:47 am
elsewhere there was a stoppage time winner as turkey reached the last 16 after a hard—fought win against the czech republic so the czech republic go out and there were a total of 18 cards shown after that and in the game, so feisty affair and a new record for a european championship match but unfortunately heartbreak for ukraine who go out of the competition following a goalless draw with belgium in stuttgart despite everyone in the group finishing on four points. the belgian will play france in the next round, so how about that for a tough draw. as we were saying, slovakia next for england and the reason it's next for england and the reason its opening up because if they were to beat slovakia it would be the winner of italy and switzerland in the quarterfinals and were they to progress even further it could be the netherlands or even austria in the netherlands or even austria in the semifinals. all of the big nations, the likes of spain, france, belgium, germany have all appeared
6:48 am
on the other side of the draw so it has opened up for gareth southgate's side and worth pointing out it's only sabine spain who qualified with three wins out of three with france during their final matches, so all of the criticism for england, it's worth pointing out has been plain sailing for of the big nations. aha, sailing for of the big nations. really good point and such a fascinating way that the whole draw is panning out with a lot of teams doing better than expected against the so—called big teams. with wimbledon just 4 days away there have been some impressive displays from british women at eastbourne. for the first time since 1978 there are three british women in the quarter—finals. emma raducanu saved a match point on her way to knocking out world number five jessica pegula and reaching the quarter—finals. the 21—year—old wildcard had never beaten a top 10 opponent before but played superb tennis to come from a set down to win in three. katie boulter's impressive form on grass continued as she beat former french open championjelena 0stapenko. the british number one is attempting to win a second grass—court title this month after defending her title in nottingham. british number two
6:49 am
harriet dart is also through after seeing off 2020 australian open champion sofia kenin over three sets. this will be her second quarterfinal at the event following her 2022 wildcard billy harris beat fellow briton charles broom to reach the quarter—finals in the men's draw. the world number 139 came from a set down to win by 2 sets to one, and will face italy's flavio cobboli next, who beat lucky loser giles hussey — the world number 359 from swindon. anthonyjoshua will face fellow british fighter daniel dubois for the ibf world heavyweight title at wembley on september the 21st. undisputed champion 0leksandr usyk gave up the ibf belt on tuesday as he prepares for a rematch against tyson fury in december. that means the mandatory challenger dubois was elevated to champion status. joshua, a two—time world champion, is on a four—fight winning streak, and the winner of their fight will have a chance of taking on usyk or fury
6:50 am
for a unification fight next year. it's been an engrossing t20 world cup so far and this afternoon england take on india in the second semi—final. the tournament has already delivered a little bit of everything, so it's somewhat fitting that the tournament favourites and defending champions cross paths to earn their spot in the final, where south africa await, after they beat afghanistan overnight. joe wilson looks ahead for us. england's cricketers have been crossing the caribbean. it's not always been sunny or easy. in the super eight stage, victories against the west indies when phil salt walloped five sixes on the usa when chris jordan walloped five sixes on the usa when chrisjordan took walloped five sixes on the usa when chris jordan took a hat—trick walloped five sixes on the usa when chrisjordan took a hat—trick came either side of a defeat to south africa. they lost to australia early in the tournament as well, so how does all that leave england on the

prince harry has been opening up about the pain of losing his mother, as he discussed the impact of grief on military families. the duke of sussex was speaking to nikki scott, whose husband was killed in afghanistan, and who set up a charity to support the bereaved children of military parents. 0ur royal editor daniela relph reports. how long did it take to be able to go, okay, this has happened? prince harry turned into viewer with his own experience to share. prince harry turned interviewer with his own experience to share. he spoke to nikki scott, whose husband, corporal lee scott, was killed in afghanistan in 2009. at the time, her daughter, brooke, was six months old and her son kai was five. nikki told harry about the pain of telling kai his dad had died. it sounds like you did the best that you could. exactly. and that's the same for anyone. there's no wrong or right way of doing that. and it's a conversation i will never forget. and, you know, i've had to do a lot of repatriation, the funeral loads
6:54 am
of tough stuff, but that is. sorry, i'm filling up now because that is. the hardest part. yeah. go! last month, harry led the party games at an event for scotty's little soldiers in london. nikki set up the charity to support bereaved military families. every child here had lost a parent. that sense of grief and loss was something harry had in common with them. so easy as a kid to think or convince yourself the reason is... i wouldn't know. like i was 12. yeah. for you, for an adult. but it seems to be the same. which is you convince yourself that the person that you've lost wants you or you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they're missed. then there's this realization of.. they must want me to be happy. three, two, one.
6:55 am
scotty provides both practical and emotional support. the charity tries to bring the fun back, and they have the backing of a prince who's been on his own bereavementjourney. you've literally turned your pain into a purpose. i need to give you a hug. let's do it. daniela ralph, bbc news. and if you have been affected by any issues raised, you can find more information on our website bbc dot co dot uk forward slash actionline we'll be back on site at worthy farm — where festival—goers had a baking hot first day, and proceedings offically kicked off last night with glastonbury�*s first ever drone show. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. the latest strike action byjunior

6:58 am
a little bit of high cloud, but some beautiful colours. there is some high cloud around, but plenty of sunshine. you can see this band of cloud, though. that's our cold front, which will sweep through the cloud will clear later to sunshine, but it will start to feel that little bit fresher. the top temperature today around 24 or 25, but mightjust get a little bit cooler by the end of the afternoon. then overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear, but we've lost that humid air. so it's not going to be as uncomfortable. tonight, the minimum temperature between nine and 12 celsius. for tomorrow, it's a bright start to friday. it is going to feel a little fresher. it's a breezier day, a little bit more cloud for the afternoon. the weekend is looking largely fine and dry, but temperatures, like i say, a little bit cooler than the last couple of days. and before we go, a reminder you can hear bbc london's election debate this morning with eddie nestor at 10 o'clock on bbc radio london, with highlights at 6.30pm on bbc one. it'll also be available

7:01 am
miller has this report. with a week to go until election day, the stakes for these two men couldn't be higher. and the debate started on one issue that continues to overshadow this campaign. people are dismayed by the lack of integrity and honesty in politics today. after the recent allegations about political betting, how would you restore trust in politics? i've been crystal clear. anyone who has broken the law, broken the rules, should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they're booted out of the conservative party. i've made very clear to my candidates that i expect high standards in politics. i said last week that the prime minister should have taken decisive action. disabled people like me get hit in the worst way. - benefits was a major topic, but it was the labour leader's personal attack on his opponent that earned him the first applause of the night. if you listen to people
7:02 am
in the audience across the country more often, you might not be quite so out of touch. applause. immigration came up, too, leading to a flurry of frustrated exchanges between the leaders. we're an island, why can't we easily close our borders? _ if keir starmer is your prime minister, all those illegal migrants will be out on our streets. record numbers have come under this prime minister's watch — record numbers coming across the channel. 50,000 people have come since rishi sunak has been prime minister — 50,000 across the channel. labour say they want to return more failed asylum seekers to the countries they came from. but this jab from the prime minister earned him a round of applause. do you know where these people come from? he's not answering the question, you can see that. do you know where they come from? iran, syria, afghanistan. so when keir starmer says he's going to return people, is he going to sit down? are you going to sit down with the iranian ayatollahs? are you going to try and do
7:03 am
a deal with the taliban? it's completely nonsensical what you are saying. applause. brexit and tax were also on the agenda. the labour party's policies will mean all your taxes are going to go up by thousands of pounds. it is in their dna. mark my words — your pension, your council tax, your home, your car, you name it, they will tax it. well, pensioners are not going to be better off with a prime minister who's making promises that he can't keep because they're not funded. that's exactly what liz truss got wrong. but perhaps the night belonged to audience member robert. mr sunak, i think you made a fair job of being chancellor, - but you're a pretty - mediocre prime minister. sir keir, i think that your strings are being pulled by very senior. members of the labour party. are you two really the best we've got to be the next i prime minister of our great country?
7:04 am
applause. a sentiment that appeared to be shared by many at the end of a debate that was punchy and feisty. hannah miller, bbc news. well, reacting to last night's debate, the liberal democrats said the audience had "spoken for the nation". the snp accused them of ignoring crucial topics, and of failing to mention scotland. ed davey will be joining us on the sofa iater~ — 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. i know you are outside the venue where the event happened last night. it was the very first question last night during the debate about the betting scandal. i know there have been more developments. that is right. it was the very first
7:05 am
question, no surprise. that was always a dead cert. both leaders trying to get some political gain out of this saga that has come to dominate the last few days, potentially weeks, of this campaign. in the case of rishi sunak, he has said he has disowned these two candidates. he tried to stress he was very angry about this case. keir starmer said, why did it take almost two weeks to suspend those candidates? ye contrasted that with the labour candidate kevin craig, who he is suspended within minutes of learning he was being looked at by the gambling commission. i mentioned the gambling commission, they are the regulator that has been conducting these investigations so far. turns out this morning that is about to change and the metropolitan police in some cases will get involved. i will redo a statement we are bad from a spokesperson for the metropolitan police. they say net detectors will lead on investigating
7:06 am
a small number of cases to assess whether the alleged offending goes beyond gambling act offences to include others, such as misconduct include others, such as misconduct in public office. we do not know which cases, which allegations the met will take over the investigations of. misconduct in public office is a very serious potential offence. not to say offences under the gambling act would not potentially be serious as well. to state the obvious, the police being involved in addition to a regulator, that tells you something about how serious this is and shows even with a week till polling day this story has further to run. ., ., ., ,, i. to run. for the moment, thank you very much- — in the last few minutes, junior doctors in england have walked out — for the 11th round of strike action since march last year — in their long—running pay dispute
7:07 am
with the government. nhs england has warned of major disruption, with the warmer weather leading to additional pressure on services. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. it's all right. my hip is hurting now. we first spoke to anita, a retired nurse, in march last year, just before the start of strike action byjunior doctors in england. knackering. at that time, she had been waiting weeks for an assessment on her painful ankle but it got delayed to the end of april 2023 because of the strike. she felt then that industrial action could harm patients and she's not changed her mind. you build yourself up and you think, "oh, yes, it's going to get down in x—number of days or weeks," and then when that happens, and they turn round and say, "no, we're not doing it", because it impacts on daily life. this long—running dispute centres on pay. the doctors' union, the bma, has asked for a 35% rise forjunior doctors in england to make up for what it says are 15 years of below—inflation pay deals.
7:08 am
the government has described that as unreasonable and points to a pay increase worth, on average, nearly 9% in the last financial year. what do we want? pay restoration. when do we want it? now. both conservatives and labour have called on the junior doctors to cancel the strike, coming as it does just days before the uk general election. but doctors' leaders say there is still time for ministers to act. we're not asking for an offer that we can take to our committee that could be implemented now, we are asking for a commitment, in the same way we've heard a commitment in manifestoes in other things from rishi sunak. nhs bosses are by now all too familiar with the pressures that strike days bring, likely to be intensified by the hot weather. a&e has been very busy in recent months. may saw record attendances in our emergency departments but we will prioritise those services, but we will do that by moving senior doctors out of other work and that unfortunately means we will see disruption
7:09 am
in our routine and elective care. this latest round of strike action will end at 7am on tuesday next week, the 2nd ofjuly. the conservatives, labour and the liberal democrats all say, if elected, they will immediately try to restart talks with the bma. whoever wins the election being held two days after the strike finishes will know this is one of the first issues they have to deal with. dominic hughes, bbc news. our health correspondent catherine burns is outside st thomas' hospital in central london. the timing of this, a week before polling day it was announced after the general election was announced, this has been quite controversial, hasn't it? . this has been quite controversial, hasn't it? , ,., ._ , this has been quite controversial, hasn't it? , , ., hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit _ hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit deja _ hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit deja vu. _ hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit deja vu. you - hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit deja vu. you have i hasn't it? yes, in some ways today is a little bit deja vu. you have a i is a little bit deja vu. you have a health correspondent standing outside a hospital saying junior
7:10 am
doctors inside havejust stopped work. we have done this 11 times. something is different and it is the timing was at this election, we are a week before it starts, and the strike will finish just two days before it. here we are by the houses of parliament and politics is so key to this. the question is, why has the bma called the strike now? they would say, do you know what? we add months of talks, agreed to mediation and then the government called the election. they say they are fed up with it. why do you actually have a strike? the reason is to persuade the people empowered to do something about your problems. that is not actually possible now. even if in some very unlikely scenario, the government decided it wanted to give into all of the bma demands it would not be allowed to do that in a pre—election period. what they are really doing is pushing us to the
7:11 am
top of the agenda so whoever is in control next week over there will have this at the top of their list. inside hospitals quite right now the focus will be on urgent and emergency care. we do expect significant pressure on the nhs system. if you need the nhs between now and tuesday, the messages the same as it has been throughout all of these strikes. it is open for business. if it is a genuine emergency, call 999 or go to a&e. if not go to the nhs in the usual ways, whether one won one, call your gp can go to pharmacy or the app. if you do have a routine appointment over the next three days and you have not heard it has been postponed, do turn up. a former fujitsu software engineer has admitted that the post office asked him to alter his evidence in court, to make it less emotive — and that a witness statement he had prepared, was changed to save the post office from embarrassment. more than 700 sub—postmasters
7:12 am
were prosecuted for fraud and theft based on faulty data from the horizon system. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. sub—postmaster noel thomas on his way to prison in 2006. he spent his 60th birthday behind bars. it took 15 years to clear his name, at the court of appeal. garethjenkins, here in the middle, was the fujitsu engineer, who was used by the post office as an expert witness to defend the horizon it system in court. he was asked to draft a witness statement on what he thought could be causing the problems in noel thomas' branch accounts. he says one possible explanation — there's been some sort of system failure. but then he was forwarded this e—mailfrom post office investigator graham ward, saying... "this statement needs more work. i think the system failure line is potentially very damaging,"
7:13 am
saying... "it's more important to get it right and ensure we are not embarrassed at court". do you agree that mr ward was seeking here directly to influence the contents of your witness statement in criminal proceedings before the crown court? i think that could be interpreted in that way, yes. do you interpret it in that way? i think he wasjust looking at getting my meaning made clearer. and here's how mr ward sought to improve it. he strikes out the line about system failure, saying it's a really poor choice of words. it may well support the postmaster�*s claim that the system is to blame for the losses. at the time, did you consider his approach — his conduct — to be appropriate? i saw him as trying to get to improve the way that the statement was worded. so you thought this was appropriate? i didn't think it was inappropriate at the time. the statement wasn't ultimately heard in court as noel thomas pleaded guilty to false accounting to avoid a more serious charge
7:14 am
of theft in the hope it would keep him out ofjail. it's been 17 years for me. my family has gone through hell. i've been lucky, to be quite honest, that i've got such a good family and friends. but, you know, it sickens you, to be quite honest, what they've been doing to people. garethjenkins insisted the changes still accurately reflected what had happened, just using less emotive words. emma simpson, bbc news at the post office inquiry. the wikileaks founder, julian assange, is back home in australia with his wife and children, after he was freed — in a plea deal — by an american court. he admitted to a single charge of conspiracy — for leaking classified us military secrets, which officials said put lives in danger. bolivian police have arrested the leader of an attempted coup, hours after the presidential palace in the capital, la paz, was stormed by soldiers.
7:15 am
the coup leader said he wanted to restructure democracy in the country, and called for a change of government. there were no reports of serious injuries or deaths. kenya's president has scrapped a finance bill containing controversial tax hikes, after deadly protests, which saw parliament set ablaze. at least 23 people were killed during demonstrations against the bill — with many kenyans angry about the rising cost of living. detectives in tenerife are continuing their search for the missing british teenager jay slater, who disappeared after attending a music festival on the island ten days ago. police have described the search for him as intense. 0ur correspondent nick garnett is in tenerife. good morning to you. the police may describe it as intense but the frustration for their loved ones of jay slater must be more immense because there has just been no news.
7:16 am
absolutely. it is like groundhog day in one way. the authorities will go up in one way. the authorities will go up and they will carry on their searches. it is anything other than groundhog day for the family. this is to them, in 11 days now without knowing where their son is what has happened to him. it is that gap, that vacuum that is the real problem. spanish authorities do not have a habit of talking about ongoing inquiries in the way the british police have though is that they will put out news releases, appeals for help. that has not been happening here at all. there are no posters around from anyone other than the family. they are the only one to have put posters up around the towns. nothing from the police were no appeals for help from them. it is going on in the background. that means in some ways the search is doing exactly what they want,
7:17 am
they are going methodically through they are going methodically through the countryside to find out if there is any sign ofjane out there. on the 11th day, still no sign. it is literally as if he disappeared off the face of the earth.— literally as if he disappeared off the face of the earth. a watercolour for the cover of the first harry potter book has sold for a record amount at auction in new york. the illustration for harry potter and the philosopher's stone, which was published in 1997, fetched £1.5 million — more than three times the estimate. sotheby�*s says it's the most valuable harry potter item ever sold at auction. the old covers have a certain charm to them, i think. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. iam in i am in rye bridge at the moment.
7:18 am
this picture was taken a little while ago. good morning. a beautiful start to the day with the blue skies. a lot of us are starting off on that note. we do have a weather front moving from the west to the east. in the west we are in pressure conditions. it will continue to drift is. at the moment in the east you can see the difference in temperature. 20 degrees already in norwich and london. this is the weather front producing the cloud. it has patchy rain in it at the moment which will fizzle as it pushes south—east and then eventually clears. behind it there will be a lot of sunshine. showers across wales, the north west of england. more persistent rain across northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures ranging from 1a to 26. scotland. temperatures ranging from 14 to 26. yesterday was the warmest 1a to 26. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far. it reached 30.5 celsius. we have said goodbye
7:19 am
to that level of temperatures for the time being. as we head on the evening and overnight when we are looking at strong winds across the north and west. gales with exposure, driving in this range from the west towards the east. push further south, we had drier conditions and clearer skies. temperatures overnight 11 to 13 degrees. not as muqqy overnight 11 to 13 degrees. not as muggy a night as it was last night. into tomorrow, once again tomorrow it will be windy across the north, driving in those showers. the wind is slowly moderating through the day. the rest of the country, a mix of bright spells with sunny intervals and a few showers and lighter winds were temperatures 13 to 22 celsius. that is closer to where we would expect it to be at this time of year. i where we would expect it to be at this time of year.— this time of year. i like it hotter. not coming _ this time of year. i like it hotter. not coming back— this time of year. i like it hotter. not coming back for _ this time of year. i like it hotter. not coming back for the - this time of year. i like it hotter. i not coming back for the foreseeable. this is quite comfortable. ii you

7:21 am
colleague in a police plane, a spotter plane overhead. we had very good information about where the smugglers were planning to launch their votes. we waited till half past five in the morning waiting hours on this beach. suddenly it felt like the whole beach erupted in front of us. 0k, we'rejust running to catch up with some migrants here. the police are trying to stop a small boat from leaving the shore. it turns violent but the police are failing. the boat is dangerously overloaded. looks like the migrants who did get onto that boat are in trouble. look at the child on someone's shoulders on the right! more than 100 people are trying to squeeze on—board. somewhere in the scrum, a seven—year—old girl's last moments. it sounds like someone
7:22 am
crying for help. very distressing seeing those pictures. i know you witnessed it first—hand. people watching those images will see there was a big presence from authorities. helicopters, police that the boats still managed to set. that helicopters, police that the boats still managed to set.— still managed to set. that is the olice still managed to set. that is the police took _ still managed to set. that is the police took -- — still managed to set. that is the police took -- people _ still managed to set. that is the police took -- people talk- still managed to set. that is the j police took -- people talk about still managed to set. that is the l police took -- people talk about a police took —— people talk about a great deal. what we did in the aftermath of that incident was first to track down sarah's father to talk to track down sarah's father to talk to him and frankly to ask him how much guilt and responsibility he should take the putting his family, his children at such peril? we wanted to go deeper, we wanted to find the smuggling gang responsible for that particular boat. 0ur for that particular boat. our investigation took us from france to belgium to the uk, to antwerp in northern belgium, and then finally
7:23 am
to a migrant centre in the town, city in luxembourg, where we knew the smuggler was actually hiding out. he had gone on the run, fearing the french police might be tracking him down. this was the moment we caught up with him. excuse me, andrew from bbc news. we believe we know who you are. you are a smuggler. so no. we understand you are still in business, you are still smuggling people across the channel. we know 100% you are a smuggler. you are responsible for the death of a seven—year—old. you put her on a boat, took money from her parents. she and four other people died. that is here. we know this is the man. he has confirmed the phone is his, he has confirmed the phone is his, he has confirmed the phone is his, he has confirmed his own picture. he is getting on a train now, there is not much more we can do. we will let him
7:24 am
go. this is the smuggler. and the reason we were so confident we had the right man was because one of our team had actually been posing as a migrant for weeks and had been in contact directly with the smuggler. we knew his phone number, all of the details about him. as we were confronting him in those images you just saw, he took his phone out of his pocket and we saw our phone number on his phone. there was no doubt in our minds. we have since informed french investigators who are still looking into those five deaths from april. they said they had no comment at this stage. the investigation continues. you had no comment at this stage. the investigation continues.— had no comment at this stage. the investigation continues. you know as well as sara — investigation continues. you know as well as sara and _ investigation continues. you know as well as sara and her _ investigation continues. you know as well as sara and her father, - investigation continues. you know as well as sara and her father, there i well as sara and her father, there were other members of her family on that boat. do you have any indications of any idea as to what happened to them?— indications of any idea as to what happened to them?
7:25 am
indications of any idea as to what ha ened to them? ., �*, ., . happened to them? sarah's mother and father and her— happened to them? sarah's mother and father and her two _ happened to them? sarah's mother and father and her two siblings, _ happened to them? sarah's mother and father and her two siblings, sister i father and her two siblings, sister and brother, are currently essentially in limbo. the father was from iraq. he had come to belgium 15 years ago looking for work. he basically had not been given registration and right to stay. it had taken such a long process that while he was still in europe, he had got married and had three children. those three children, all born in europe, educated in europe. no real links back to iraq. they were told late last enigma early edition they would be deported from europe. right now they were living in a small village outside lille in northern france. no schooling, no prospect of schooling, no sense of where they will end up. all hoping that somewhere in europe, some government will take pity on them. at the moment it looks very unclear what will happen to them. it is possible they will be deported to iraq. thank ou so they will be deported to iraq. thank you so much — they will be deported to iraq. thank you so much for— they will be deported to iraq. thank you so much for bringing _ they will be deported to iraq. thank you so much for bringing us - you so much for bringing us
7:26 am
up—to—date. you can see more on andrew's investigation in tonight's news at six on bbc one. the anti—smoking charity ash says that one in five 11—to—17 years olds are now vaping, even though it is illegal for them to be sold to anyone under the age of 18. 0ur reporter aisha iqbal has been to a school in bradford, where some students as young as ten said that they had been offered nicotine vapes. cookies, ice cream, blueberry, blue raspberry. cherry ice and watermelon. this isn't a list of sweets and favourite treats, but rather the names of vape flavours lining the shelves in shops and supermarkets. vaping among youngsters is on the rise. worryingly for parents and educators alike, those trying the habit are getting younger and younger, and peer pressure is a big factor. a 14—year—old boy offered me a vape for no reason. hejust came up to me and asked me,
7:27 am
like, "do you want a try this out?" i said, "what is it?" and he went, "something that'll make you feel good." but i looked at it in a kind of weird way and didn't take it. did you at any point think about it? because he kept asking me, and i said, "sorry, i've got to go now." so i left. this youth charity, which has been delivering deterrent workshops in secondary schools across bradford, has now started working with primary schools. nicotine's addictive. nicotine can rewire your brain. certainly if you've a young brain, still growing. the first question is... put your hand up if you've been ever been offered a vape by somebody? just under half of these youngsters had been offered a vape. only a handful had tried it and none had wanted to repeat the experience. there are wider efforts to crack down on the availability of vapes to younger children, including proposed new laws to ban disposable vapes entirely,
7:28 am
stricter rules on marketing and flavours and a new vaping tax. i thinkjust the biggest thing in terms of my point of view from a teacher, putting more into it in the curriculum. we can obviously ourselves bring in external companies like step two, but i think having a bigger push in the curriculum so that we could just educate children about that would be my biggest thing in terms of a teacher from my point of view. the success of vaping as a quit smoking tool is acknowledged, but so are the risks of addiction to children especially. and, for those wanting to create a smoke and vape—free generation, prevention starts with education. aisha iqbal, bbc news. it's just a week to go until the general election but what are the issues that matter to you at this point in the campaign? nina's in the town of south shields, finding out what voters there think. good morning, nina.
7:29 am
morning. you might recognise this. it is the final straights of the great north run. we are heading into that with the general election. just a week to go. we have been speaking with dozens of voters in south shields. lots of issues keep coming up, things like the cost of living crisis, some referring to the recent betting allegations. immigration is a big issue here. one thing we keep coming across as well. that is people saying i am fed up with all of them, i don't like the tone of these debates and i am not sure whether i can throw at all. we will be reflecting on those views and last night's debate. for now, the news, the travel and the weather where you are this morning. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the latest strike action byjunior doctors is due to start shortly. the nhs says the doctors' union the bma has
7:30 am
agreed that some junior doctors, who were due to go on strike, will turn up to work at hospitals in south london that were hit by a major cyber attack three weeks ago. doctors will return to support cancer surgery in particular. passengers are being advised to check theirjourneys before they travel this weekend as the network is likely to be very busy. transport for london said several events were taking place over the weekend including the pride parade on saturday with passengers advised they may need to queue before being able to board a train. oxford circus station may also be closed at short notice due to industrial action. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning now onto the weather with kate. good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures of 30.5
7:31 am
recorded at wisley. last night was very hot and sticky as well, but today you can see this cold front sinking south and that will eventually introduce some slightly fresher air. now, it was a beautiful start down in waterloo this morning. a little bit of high cloud, but some beautiful colours. there is some high cloud around, but plenty of sunshine. you can see this band of cloud, though. that's our cold front, which will sweep through the cloud will clear later to sunshine, but it will start to feel that little bit fresher. the top temperature today around 24 or 25, but mightjust get a little bit cooler by the end of the afternoon. then overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear, but we've lost that humid air. so it's not going to be as uncomfortable. tonight, the minimum temperature between nine and 12 celsius. for tomorrow, it's a bright start to friday. it is going to feel a little fresher. it's a breezier day, a little bit more cloud for the afternoon. the weekend is looking largely fine and dry, but temperatures, like i say, a little bit cooler than the last couple. before we go, just time to tell you about bbc

7:43 am
katie boulter's impressive form on grass continued, as she beat former french open champion, yelena 0stapenko. the british number one, is attempting to win a second grass—court title, this month, after defending her title in nottingham. british number two, harriet dart, bottom of your screen, is also through, after seeing off 2020 australian open champion sofia kenin over three sets. this will be her second quarter—final at the event, following her 2022 run, to the last eight. it's been an engrossing t20 world cup so far and this afternoon england take on india in the second semi—final. the tournament has already delivered a little bit of everything, so it's somewhat fitting that the tournament favourites and defending champions cross paths to earn their spot in the final, where south africa await, after they beat afghanistan overnight. joe wilson looks ahead for us. england's cricketers have been crossing the caribbean. it's not always been sunny. it's not always been easy. in the super eight stage, wins against west indies, when phil salt walloped five sixes and the usa, when chrisjordan took a hat trick, came either side of a defeat to south africa.
7:44 am
they lost to australia earlier in the tournament, too. so how does all that leave england on the brink of their sternest challenge, the semi—final against india? i think there's been parts of this tournament where we've had to play some ugly cricket at times, whether the wind has been a factor or there's been rain about. and i've been really impressed with the resilience of the group. it's time to be the front runners. it's time to more or less throw the first punch at india and then try and get our noses in front and never give it back. india reached the semi—final stage undefeated in the tournament. skills in every department? yeah. weaknesses? apparently none. they've looked rather formidable, haven't they? india. throughout this tournament, they've beaten heavily every team that's been put in their path, including australia, just a couple of days ago. but i think there'll be a bit of fragility there from the 2022 world cup in adelaide where england hammered them in that semi—final
7:45 am

7:58 am
who were due to go on strike, will turn up to work at hospitals in south london that were hit by a major cyber attack three weeks ago. doctors will return to support cancer surgery in particular. some staff on gtr trains will wear body—worn cameras as part of a crack down on anti social behaviour. the company, which runs southern, gatwick express and thameslink trains, says it's investing £2.5 million to help tackle abuse and disorder on its network. staff have reported a 23% increase in verbal assaults and a 10% increase in physical assaults over the past year. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a pretty good service on the tubes this morning. now on to the weather. this morning will be dry and bright at first, but a band of cloud will then move in from the west.
7:59 am
dry and sunny in the afternoon, but it will be cooler and fresher. maximum temperature: 25c. and before we go, a reminder you can hear bbc london's election debate this morning with eddie nestor at ten o'clock on bbc radio london, with highlights at 6.30 on bbc one. it'll also be available on the iplayer. that's it. we're back in half an hour. bye for now.
8:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... heated exchanges and difficult questions as rishi sunak and sir keir starmer went head—to—head in the final tv debate before the general election. are you two really the best we have got to be the next prime minister of our great country? who is the guy in charge of the system over the last 14 years? why is it so bad? well, keir, you want to be in charge but you've got nothing to say- to people about what. you would do about it. junior doctors in england have started a five—day strike this morning in their continuing protest about pay. millions of people receive parking fines each year. a new code of practice aims to make the enforcement of rules in private car parks fairer and more consistent. but how much will it benefit drivers?
8:01 am
let's go. laughter and tears with prince harry, as the royal supports military children who've lost a parent. good morning. it will turn pressure through the day but all of us. a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, except for in the north and west where it will be wetter and windier. all of the details later. it's thursday, the 27th ofjune. our main story. rishi sunak and sir keir starmer have gone head to head in the final televised debate ahead of the election. with just one week left until voters head to the polls, the leaders clashed over key issues like tax and immigration. our political correspondent hannah miller has this report. with a week to go until election day, the stakes for these two men couldn't be higher. and the debate started on one issue that continues to overshadow this campaign.
8:02 am
people are dismayed by the lack of integrity and honesty in politics today. after the recent allegations about political betting, how would you restore trust in politics? i've been crystal clear. anyone who has broken the law, broken the rules, should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they're booted out of the conservative party. i've made very clear to my candidates that i expect high standards in politics. i said last week that the prime minister should have taken decisive action. disabled people like me get hit in the worst way. i benefits was a major topic, but it was the labour leader's personal attack on his opponent that earned him the first applause of the night. if you listen to people in the audience across the country more often, you might not be quite so out of touch. applause. immigration came up, too, leading to a flurry of frustrated exchanges between the leaders.
8:03 am
we're an island, why can't we easily close our borders? _ if keir starmer is your prime minister, all those illegal migrants will be out on our streets. record numbers have come under this prime minister's watch — record numbers coming across the channel. 50,000 people have come since rishi sunak has been prime minister — 50,000 across the channel. labour say they want to return more failed asylum seekers to the countries they came from. but this jab from the prime minister earned him a round of applause. do you know where these people come from? he's not answering the question, you can see that. do you know where they come from? iran, syria, afghanistan. so when keir starmer says he's going to return people, is he going to sit down? are you going to sit down with the iranian ayatollahs? are you going to try and do a deal with the taliban? it's completely nonsensical what you are saying. applause. brexit and tax were also on the agenda. the labour party's policies will mean all your taxes are going to go up by thousands of pounds. it is in their dna.
8:04 am
mark my words — your pension, your council tax, your home, your car, you name it, they will tax it. well, pensioners are not going to be better off with a prime minister, who's making promises that he can't keep because they're not funded. that's exactly what liz truss got wrong. but perhaps the night belonged to audience member robert. mr sunak, i think you made a fair job of being chancellor, - but you're a pretty i mediocre prime minister. sir keir, i think that your strings are being pulled by very seniori members of the labour party. are you two really the best we've got to be the next i prime minister of our great country? applause. a sentiment that appeared to be shared by many at the end of a debate that was punchy and feisty. hannah miller, bbc news. well, reacting to last night's
8:05 am
debate, the liberal democrats said the audience had "spoken for the nation". the snp accused them of ignoring crucial topics, and of failing to mention scotland. we will be talking to ed davey in around half—an—hour. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. who would have thought going into the general election campaign a betting scandal would be so much front and centre? it started the debate last night and i know there are more developments in our area this morning.— our area this morning. morning. that is riuht. it our area this morning. morning. that is right- it was _ our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a _ our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a -- _ our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a -- it _ our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a -- it was _ our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a -- it was not - our area this morning. morning. that is right. it was a -- it was not a i is right. it was a —— it was not a shock to anyone that was the first question. it has dominated the last few weeks of this campaign was certainly the last three days, as this saga has sprawled and sprawled.
8:06 am
keir starmer tried to tie the developments of the past few days into his broader attack on conservative governments. he linked it to partygate, when rishi sunak got a fixed penalty notice as did borriejohn —— borisjohnson. rishi sunak said he was incredibly angry like them. if any conservatives are planned to have broken the law they will be booted out of the party. i think this story still has some distance to run. one reason i know thatis distance to run. one reason i know that is because of the development this morning we are reporting on the bbc. 50 this morning we are reporting on the bbc. so far all of the investigations have been carried out by the gambling commission, the gambling regulator. we do not necessarily hear about them that much. we have a statement from the metropolitan police saying they are getting involved as well. here is what they say. met detectives will lead on investigating a small number of cases to assess whether the alleged offending goes beyond
8:07 am
gambling act offences to include others, such as misconduct in public office. as they say, a small number office. as they say, a small number of cases. we do not know which cases will allegation specifically the met will allegation specifically the met will be looking at. misconduct in public office is potentially very serious offence. it speaks to how seriously this saga is being taken, notjust now by the gambling authorities but also by the metropolitan police. i think it means even with how week until polling day, this story has some distance left to run.— polling day, this story has some distance left to run. thank you for the moment- _ distance left to run. thank you for the moment. thanks _ distance left to run. thank you for the moment. thanks very - distance left to run. thank you for the moment. thanks very much. i the latest strike in the nhs has just got under way. it has been under way for an hour. junior doctors in england have walked out for their 11th round of strike action since march last year — in their long—running pay dispute with the government. nhs england has warned of major disruption, with the warmer weather leading
8:08 am
to additional pressure on services. our health correspondent catherine burns is outside st thomas' hospital in central london. catherine, there's been some criticism about the timing of these strikes just before the election? there is so much more to this than just a series of strikes.— just a series of strikes. yes. we are 'ust just a series of strikes. yes. we are just under — just a series of strikes. yes. we are just under an _ just a series of strikes. yes. we arejust under an hour, - just a series of strikes. yes. we are just under an hour, as i just a series of strikes. yes. we are just under an hour, as you i just a series of strikes. yes. we l are just under an hour, as you say arejust under an hour, as you say come into this latest five—day walk—out. what you see behind me, picket lines being set up by lots of press and photographers interviewing people. we have seen so many times was at this time feels different. we are one week before the general election. there is a lot of criticism coming towards the bma calling the strike right now. there is very limited amount anyone can do. there are pre—election guidelines in place saying governments cannot take any major policy decisions during this time. it has to wait till after the election. people are questioning why
8:09 am
bother striking now? notjust ministers but health officials, patients' association. yes, we understand junior doctors have genuine grievances but why did this now when no one is in a position to change anything about it? the bma would say, we have had months of talks, we agreed to enter mediation and then the government decided to call this election and we are just fed up. at the heart of this is patience. what will happen in hospitals like this up and down the country? the first thing is all of the focus will be an urgent and emergency care. we are expecting significant impacts on the system. we know this now. we have said there so many times. there has been 1.5 million appointments postponed or cancelled. over the next five days, we will probably see tens of thousands. for patients, the key thing now is that the nhs is open for business. if they need it they can get there. if there is an emergency, they can go to a&e. if
8:10 am
not they can get in contact in the usual ways. the wikileaks founder, julian assange, is back home in australia with his wife and children, after he was freed — in a plea deal — by an american court. he admitted to a single charge of conspiracy — for leaking classified us military secrets, which officials said put lives in danger. bolivian police have arrested the leader of an attempted coup, hours after the presidential palace in the capital la paz was stormed by soldiers. the coup leader said he wanted to restructure democracy in the country, and called for a change of government. there were no reports of serious injuries or deaths. kenya's president has scrapped a finance bill containing controversial tax hikes, after deadly protests which saw parliament set ablaze. at least 23 people were killed during demonstrations against the bill, with many kenyans angry about the rising cost of living. detectives in tenerife are continuing their search for the missing british teenager jay slater.
8:11 am
the 19—year—old disappeared after attending a music festival on the island 10 days ago. he told a friend his phone battery was about to die and he had no water — but was making his way back to his accommodation. officers have described the search for him as intense. a former fujitsu software engineer has admitted that the post office asked him to alter his evidence in court, to make it less emotive — and that a witness statement he had prepared, was changed to save the post office from embarrassment. more than 700 sub—postmasters were prosecuted for fraud and theft based on faulty data from the horizon system. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. sub—postmaster noel thomas on his way to prison in 2006. he spent his 60th birthday behind bars. it took 15 years to clear his name, at the court of appeal. garethjenkins, here in the middle, was the fujitsu engineer, who was used by the post office as an expert witness
8:12 am
to defend the horizon it system in court. he was asked to draft a witness statement on what he thought could be causing the problems in noel thomas' branch accounts. he says one possible explanation — there's been some sort of system failure. but then he was forwarded this e—mailfrom post office investigator graham ward, saying... "this statement needs more work. i think the system failure line is potentially very damaging," saying... "it's more important to get it right and ensure we are not embarrassed at court". do you agree that mr ward was seeking here directly to influence the contents of your witness statement in criminal proceedings before the crown court? i think that could be interpreted in that way, yes. do you interpret it in that way? i think he wasjust looking at getting my meaning made clearer. and here's how mr ward
8:13 am
sought to improve it. he strikes out the line about system failure, saying it's a really poor choice of words. it may well support the postmaster�*s claim that the system is to blame for the losses. at the time, did you consider his approach — his conduct — to be appropriate? i saw him as trying to get to improve the way that the statement was worded. so you thought this was appropriate? i didn't think it was inappropriate at the time. the statement wasn't ultimately heard in court as noel thomas pleaded guilty to false accounting to avoid a more serious charge of theft in the hope it would keep him out ofjail. it's been 17 years for me. my family has gone through hell. i've been lucky, to be quite honest, that i've got such a good family and friends. but, you know, it sickens you, to be quite honest, what they've been doing to people.
8:14 am
garethjenkins insisted the changes still accurately reflected what had happened, just using less emotive words. emma simpson, bbc news at the post office inquiry. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. today is going to turn pressure through the course of the day as the weather front moves from the west to east and it will remain so for the next few days. the other thing you will notice if it will be pretty windy, especially today. we have some showers across western scotland and northern ireland. this is the weather front producing patchy rain at the moment as it continues its journey from the west to the east. clearing the south—west by moving through the midlands and eastern england. currently crossing london. ahead of it still murky air.
8:15 am
behind it is warm and fresh air. through the course of the morning we will see one or two showers developing. showers across northern ireland and western scotland. gusty winds with exposure. parts of eastern scotland, we were looking at brightness. show is pushing away into the northern isles and eventually clearing. the show is if anything turned heavier across northern ireland and western scotland through the course of the day. temperature 11; to 26. a good 4.5 day. temperature 11; to 26. a good ir.5 degrees lower than yesterday in parts of south—east england. this evening and overnight were still strong winds across the northern half of the country, gales across the north west with exposure and still when crossing us. further south, dry and clear and wherever you are it will be a fresher night than last night. we start tomorrow with wet and windy conditions across the north. the wind slowly easing as we go through the day. for the rest of the uk, we are looking at a mix of the uk, we are looking at a mix of bright spells, sunny spells and a
8:16 am

8:17 am
whose husband, corporal lee scott, was killed in afghanistan in 2009. at the time, her daughter, brooke, was six months old and her son kai was five. nikki told harry about the pain of telling kai his dad had died. it sounds like you did the best that you could in that situation. exactly. and that's the same for anyone. there's no wrong or right way of doing that. and it's a conversation i will never forget. and, you know, i've had to do a lot of repatriation, the funeral, loads of tough stuff, but that is... sorry, i'm filling up now because that is... the hardest part. yeah. go! last month, harry led the party games at an event for scotty's little soldiers in london. nikki set up the charity to support bereaved military families. every child here had lost a parent. that sense of grief and loss was something harry had in common with them. so easy as a kid to think or convince yourself the reason is... i wouldn't know. like i was 12.
8:18 am
yeah. for you, for an adult. but it seems to be the same. which is you convince yourself that the person that you've lost wants you or you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they're missed. then there's this realisation of... they must want me to be happy. three, two, one, go! scotty's provides both practical and emotional support. the charity tries to bring the fun back, and they have the backing of a prince who's been on his own bereavementjourney. you've literally turned your pain into a purpose. i need to give you a hug. let's do it. daniela relph, bbc news. joining us now is vicky bovington, whose husband tom served in the navy, and died from a genetic heart condition in 2016. we also have her children

where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the latest strike action byjunior doctors has started at london's hospitals. hello, good morning from bbc london. the nhs says the doctors' union the bma has agreed that some junior doctors, who were due to go on strike, will turn up to work at hospitals in south london that were hit by a major cyber attack three weeks ago. doctors will return to support cancer surgery in particular. the cyber attack�*s still causing disruption at hospitals run by the king's college, lewisham & greenwich and guy's and st thomas's trusts. some staff on gtr trains will wear body—worn cameras as part of a crack down on anti social behaviour. the company, which runs southern, gatwick express and thameslink trains, says it's investing £2.5 million to help tackle abuse and disorder on its network. staff have reported a 23% increase in verbal assaults and a10% increase in physical assaults over the past year. a new superhero drama series

8:32 am
day of the year so far, with temperatures of 30.5 recorded at wisley. last night was very hot and sticky as well, but today you can see this cold front sinking south and that will eventually introduce some slightly fresher air. now, it was a beautiful start down in waterloo this morning. a little bit of high cloud, but some beautiful colours. there is some high cloud around, but plenty of sunshine. you can see this band of cloud, though. that's our cold front, which will sweep through. the cloud will clear later to sunshine, but it will start to feel that little bit fresher. the top temperature today around 2a or 25, but mightjust get a little bit cooler by the end of the afternoon. then overnight tonight, it's dry and it's clear, but we've lost that humid air. so it's not going to be as uncomfortable tonight, the minimum temperature between nine and 12 celsius. fortomorrow, it's a bright start to friday. it is going to feel a little fresher. it's a breezier day, a little bit more cloud for the afternoon. the weekend is looking largely fine and dry, but temperatures, like i say, a little bit cooler than the last couple of days. and before we go, a reminder you can hear bbc london's election debate this
8:33 am
morning with eddie nestor at ten o'clock on bbc radio london, with highlights at 6.30 on bbc one. it'll also be available on the iplayer. but that's about it from me. all the day's stories are on our website. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. last night, rishi sunak and sir keir starmer clashed in the final televised debate ahead of the general election. the two leaders faced questions from the audience on topics including tax, immigration and welfare. bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been taking a look at what exactly they said. good morning. yes, a lot of heated exchanges last night. but let's start off with this one on small boats. the numbers have come down over the past 12 months compared to the 12 months before. but in order to fully solve this problem, you need a deterrent. there are tens of thousands.
8:34 am
50,000 people have come since rishi sunak has been prime minister, 50,000 across the channel. let me show you what's actually happened in the last few years. we've got this graphic here. the number of small boats crossings has gone up overall. keir starmer was right to say that 50,000 people have entered the country on small boats since rishi sunak became prime minister. but they were both using different calculations about what's happening now. it is true to say, although this doesn't show it, as rishi sunak claimed, that small boats crossings are down over the last 12 months, they're down 30%. however, have a look at this line in red. so far this year, there have been a record number of people crossing the channel on small boats to the end ofjune. there are, of course, questions about who would reduce those numbers and who has the best policy. but that is some context about the figures that were discussed last night.
8:35 am
another thing that came up was this. can the conservatives raise the money they claim from welfare cuts? so the ifs also said that it's right to identify welfare as a challenge that needs to be addressed. and the ifs also acknowledge that when the conservatives previously set out savings that they would get from the welfare bill, the ifs didn't think it would happen and in fact they were delivered. and i'm sure bbc verify will put that quote on their website. this is about whether the conservatives found the money they pledged in welfare savings in 2015, and it's a bit more complicated than the prime minister made out. it is right to say that the institute for fiscal studies concluded this that the savings were broadly delivered, albeit two years later than planned. but the government's spending watchdog isn't as convinced. this is the office for budget responsibility in 2019 and they say about a third of the money, £4 billion, wasn't found. on this question about welfare savings, there was a claim
8:36 am
from keir starmer, too, that the money the conservatives want to save from the welfare budget has already been spent, as his chancellor has said that the money he's relying on has already been spent. again, it is more complicated than that. some of the savings were identified before, in the government's budget, but not all of them. some haven't, and the conservatives have insisted they will go further and find more savings. finally, throughout the whole campaign, both of these men have been trading blows on tax and spending. last night was no different. think what a labour government would mean. can you afford to pay at least £2,000 more in tax? a reminder, we've checked this one before. it risks misleading people. it's based on questionable assumptions from political advisers. so all of this is some context about the claims made last night. there is plenty more, looking at both of these leaders and other parties and other debates on the bbc website.
8:37 am
so we heard from rishi sunak and sir keir starmer there, now let's hear from another party leader, sir ed davey from the liberal democrats. good morning. just a snapshot if you would and i won't ask good morning. just a snapshot if you would and i won't ask you good morning. just a snapshot if you would and i won't ask you to good morning. just a snapshot if you would and i won't ask you to spend good morning. just a snapshot if you would and i won't ask you to spend a lot of time speaking about the other party leaders but from what you saw last night or during the campaign, can you give me a answer about rishi sunak? what is the word you would use for him in this campaign. istale]!!! use for him in this campaign. well it's three words, _ use for him in this campaign. well it's three words, out _ use for him in this campaign. well it's three words, out of touch. i just— it's three words, out of touch. i just don't— it's three words, out of touch. i just don't think he sorta understands what people are going through _ understands what people are going through. we understands what people are going throuuh. ~ , ., understands what people are going throuuh. ~ , . ,, , , through. we will try and keep this brief. so keir— through. we will try and keep this brief. so keir starmer? _ through. we will try and keep this brief. so keir starmer? he - through. we will try and keep this brief. so keir starmer? he is - through. we will try and keep this. brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but — brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but i _ brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but i think— brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but i think he's _ brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but i think he's not - brief. so keir starmer? he is trying his best but i think he's not quite . his best but i think he's not quite connected — his best but i think he's not quite connected with people yet. and i
