alliance and nato, today we have already seen a pledge of weapons and air defencesjune ukraine but they will be pushing for more, they want more weaponry and the ability to be able to use it deep into russian territory. we will also see discussions what people are calling a bridge to membership for ukraine in this alliance. the second one is going to be the alliance itself. in many ways, despite some cracks that are showing, nato has never been stronger. president biden laying that out yesterday saying that under his watch, two new members have joined, finland and sweden, now the number of countries paying that key number, 2% of gdp towards their own defence spending, has gone from nine to 23 countries. the third one, and this might be the biggest one, it's this might be the biggest one, its political. all eyes and ears will be on us presidentjoe biden, watching his every move, listening to his speeches, will he be strong enough, will he be energetic? there are big questions within his own party about his ability to defeat donald trump

at the ballot box in november. there are questions about what donald trump would mean for this alliance. that could mean some lack of support and, of course, may be a drop in funding for military aid for ukraine. ., ., ., ,, , ., our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. good morning, henry. the prime minister is expecting a bilateral with joe minister is expecting a bilateral withjoe biden and during this summit and withjoe biden and during this summitand also withjoe biden and during this summit and also reiterating what he has called a cast—iron commitment to defence spending. this has called a cast-iron commitment to defence spending.— defence spending. as you heard from carl there, defence spending. as you heard from carl there. in — defence spending. as you heard from carl there, in the _ defence spending. as you heard from carl there, in the last _ defence spending. as you heard from carl there, in the last few— defence spending. as you heard from carl there, in the last few years - carl there, in the last few years since vladimir putin invaded ukraine, the number of nato member states spending at 2% target has increased an awful lot but now there are member states that think they should go further, hit 2.5% of national income on defence spending. during the general election campaign the conservative campaign said that if they won it, they would increase defence spending to 2.5% by 2030. labour said if they won it, they

would, but they would not put a timeframe on it. and that is now the questions facing keir starmer. as he flew out to nato, he told journalists that he would launch what he is causing a strategic defence review next week, which aim to establish the uk's defence capabilities, and then put the uk on a road to hitting that target. but still no timeframe and i expect keir starmer to be pushed on that this week. . , ~ starmer to be pushed on that this week. ., , . , week. thanks, henry. we will be talkin: to week. thanks, henry. we will be talking to the — week. thanks, henry. we will be talking to the armed _ week. thanks, henry. we will be talking to the armed forces - week. thanks, henry. we will be - talking to the armed forces minister luke pollard later on the programme about that very issue. now the rest of the morning's news withjon, including an important football match happening i think, tonight? is there? we will look into it. how are your nerves, all right? thea;r is there? we will look into it. how are your nerves, all right? they are sha ! are your nerves, all right? they are shaky! it's — are your nerves, all right? they are shaky! it's only _ are your nerves, all right? they are shaky! it's only 6am! _ england's footballers will face the netherlands later in the second semi final of the euros, with the winners set to play spain on sunday. john is there for us this morning.

a big they, john, good morning. yes, good morning from dortmund. you cannot down play this one. a huge day for english football, can england do it, find that way do in that they had done throughout the tournament despite having been 60 seconds from going home? we have seen last—minute equalisers, penalty shoot—out successful, but can england produce when it really matters and keep that dream alive or potentially at long last winning a major men's tournament? andy swiss reports. # 0h, saka, run it down the wing, saka! excited? but of course. england fans soaking up the atmosphere in dortmund, even enjoying a quick spot the ball competition. # can't start a fire without a spark! a euro semifinal beckons. so will it be another nail biter? oh, my gosh. it's the stuff of dreams. i'm here with my 16—year—old son,

who's just finished his gcses so this is our summer holiday. i don't think you need to play well |to win this particular tournament, j and england is not playing well, so we'll see how that goes. - do you think they can go all the way? i do, i do, we are- definitely going to berlin. watched bellingham's overhead kick, watched the penalties, and now we're going to play better and win. come on! how confident are you feeling? ifeel confident, i really do feel confident. believe in them, i think they're doing t'right things, playing t'right way. i think we've got it. we can win, this easy. well, getting this far has hardly been an easyjourney for england. but for their thousands of fans arriving here in dortmund, there is now one simple question. can they reach another euros final? gareth southgate's side haven't played their finest football so far in germany, but they know this is some opportunity. this is now the chance to make history, which we've enjoyed doing that. chance to get to the first final not held in england. first time england will have ever done that. so we're trying to break new ground.

dumfries across the goal, it's an inviting ball, gakpo came in. the netherlands though should be their toughest test so far, they're seventh in the world rankings, just two places below england. here we go. but in their penalty shoot—out win over switzerland, england showed their spirit here. can they now show their best when it really matters? england go through! andy swiss, bbc news, dortmund. it's amazing that those england supporters are feeling so confident when you consider the performances we have seen so far here in germany. but they have that sense that just perhaps england's name is on the trophy despite the way they have played. the players themselves have spoken about finding that performance, could it happen now in the semifinals? gareth southgate has

admitted how much he has been hurt by the criticism he has faced from supporters throughout the tournament, but he is hopeful that they could go all the way to sunday's final and that is something those fans are dreaming of. it's been such a long, long time since england have managed to win a major trophy in a men's international tournament, could this be the moment? the fans believing that england's name could be on the trophy this year and they are hoping above anything else that they will be getting the chance to make that trip to berlin for sunday's final where, as we know now, it will be spain in the final. wouldn't that be brilliant? thank you, john. we will be back withjohn and we will hear from loads of other fans throughout the programme this morning. let's get the other news. the hamas run health authority says at least 29 palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people in southern gaza. the israeli military said it was looking into the claims, adding that it had targeted hamas

fighters with what it called a "precise munition." talks aimed at bringing about a pause in the fighting are expected to resume in qatar later. thejury the jury has been selected for the trial of the actor alec baldwin who has been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of a cinematographer. the actor seen here leaving court is pleading not guilty for the charges brought against him following the death of halyna hutchins who was killed from a bullet that alec baldwin was using on the set of the film rust in 2021. were you in the room when the lady was... i was the one holding the gun, yeah. 0k, all righty. this was the moment police arrived on the set of the western movie rust, after a scene had gone terribly wrong. alec baldwin was the actor on set that pulled the trigger. the pistol being used

by alec baldwin had fired a live round, killing the cinematographer halyna hutchins. what's yourjob there with them? i'm the armourer, or at least i was. the mystery of how live rounds ended up on the film set was revealed earlier this year. oh, my god. when the film's armourer, hannah gutierrez, stood trial for involuntary manslaughter. it was her responsibility to ensure weapons were safe. but she had mistakenly mixed up dummy rounds with real bullets. in recent court documents, alec baldwin said he's struggled to find acting work since the incident, and if found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, he could face 18 months injail. are you doing 0k? no, i'm not, actually. alec baldwin claims he never pulled the trigger, and his lawyers have tried to have the case dismissed. but prosecutors will argue in court today that he, too, did not follow safety protocols which could have prevented the cinematographer�*s death. emma vardy, bbc news, new mexico.

a new study suggests the tax on soft drinks has led to people consuming "significa ntly less" sugar. figures show children were consuming nearly five grams per day less, a year after the so—called sugar tax came into force six years ago in a bid to tackle growing cases of obesity. a new report suggests that saving money can help improve sleep. the study by bristol university found that putting a monthly amount aside, no matter how small, helped people relax and be more optimistic for the future. the european space agency has launched its new ariane—six rocket on a demonstration mission out of french guiana, the new expendable rocket, which costjust under £3.5 billion to develop, is expected to be cheaper to operate. the agency described the launch

as a historic day for europe. it has stood overlooking the 0xfordshire countryside for more than 3000 years and now britain's oldestjoke figure, the uffington horse, has had a face—lift. archaeologists began work last year when a survey revealed part of the 111 metre long runs bronze age landmark had shrunk considerably. the uffington white horse dates back some 3,000 years to the bronze age. it's britain's oldest chalk figure. no surprise, then, that it was in need of a bit of a face—lift. this was the horse before it underwent the work, looking a bit scraggy around the neck and the head. but now it's been restored to its former glory. i'm a national trust archaeologist, so i look after, make sure that these monuments are protected for future generations so that everybody can enjoy them. so it's really a great privilege to work on such an iconic site as this.

and make sure, you know, that if we can, we can conserve it as well as we possibly can and make it accessible and understandable by future generations. and that's really quite a big privilege. teams of archaeologists were brought in to carefully cut back turf that was obscuring the original chalk. scientists say one benefit is it will now allow them to carry out tests on the rock to see if the old nag is even older than currently thought. jon donnison, bbc news. the old nag? that is a bit disrespectful!— the old nag? that is a bit disresectful! , , . ., , �* , disrespectful! especially when it's lookinu disrespectful! especially when it's looking rather _ disrespectful! especially when it's looking rather good _ disrespectful! especially when it's looking rather good now! - disrespectful! especially when it's looking rather good now! i- disrespectful! especially when it's looking rather good now! i would| looking rather good now! iwould like a makeover like that. 17 minutes plastic.— like a makeover like that. 17 minutes plastic. like a makeover like that. 17 minuteslastic. v ., ., ., minutes plastic. let's move now to carol. i minutes plastic. let's move now to carol- i don't _ minutes plastic. let's move now to carol. i don't say _ minutes plastic. let's move now to carol. i don't say anything! - minutes plastic. let's move now to carol. i don't say anything! i- minutes plastic. let's move now to carol. i don't say anything! i was i carol. i don't say anything! i was shakin: shoes as to what was going to

there will be dry conditions because they are moving eastwards, and good luck! this evening the rain in scotland starts to push sales, when the front moving south and the rain will turn patchy in nature. further south clear skies and across the board it will be a fresher night than last night. tomorrow we have patchy rain heading south, more of a northerly flow which is a cooler direction for us. the north end of the south seeing some sunshine and temperature —wise, this is what we are looking at. 13—22. thank you, carol. it's been at the centre of both royal and national life for more than 150 years and now visitors to buckingham palace will soon be able to see even more of its treasures than ever before. the opening of the newly restored east wing will showcase the famous balcony, alongside priceless artworks and antiques from the royal collection.

our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher has been given a tour. buckingham palace. a focal point for royal celebrations. marriages. jubilees with their very loud fly—pasts. and coronations. now more of the palace will be open to the public than ever before, and we've been given a sneak peek at what visitors will be able to see. the yellow drawing room mixes eastern and western antiques and has towering porcelain pagodas. so this is very exciting. the first time the east wing has been opened to the public. it is. i mean, we obviously open the state rooms each year to visitors, but this has been an added extra, which is fully supported by the king. and as part of our charitable aims,

the royal collection trust open up these rooms to the public. so i hope they'll really enjoy seeing them. we've certainly enjoyed preparing them. 0bviously, you've been involved in this restoration work. do you have a favourite piece that is going to be shown to people? it's quite a difficult question because i think it depends on the day, because there are so many fantastic objects. i think the kylin clock on the mantelpiece is definitely one of my favourites, and this was bought by george iv for the royal pavilion, and it's a fusion of sort of eastern and western art. this priceless art on display, some that's never been seen by the public before, and jonathan yeo's new portrait of the king. this is a very special corridor. it's called the principal corridor, and i'm literally walking in the footsteps of generations of the royal family, because they have to go down here to get to the balcony to make those memorable appearances. let's take you in there now. those doors lead out to what is the most famous

balcony in the world. and if you glimpse through those curtains, you'll be able to see the view the royal family have when they step out and wave to the crowds. however, going onto the balcony is not part of the public tour. so you'll have to practice your royal wave from behind the window. charlotte gallagher, bbc news, buckingham palace. and if you look behind us, why can you not get out onto the balcony? you can see how low the balcony is, can you imagine the health and safety of getting loads of public onto the balcony? even little louis, you can see quite a lot of him because they want people to be able to see as much of the royal family as possible, it has to be staying low so you are not allowed out. so the low so you are not allowed out. sr they cannot low so you are not allowed out. 5r they cannot wearjeans! low so you are not allowed out. so they cannot wearjeans! i'm - low so you are not allowed out. so they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure l low so you are not allowed out. so i they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure you they cannot wear 'eans! i'm sure you are they cannot wear 'eans! i'm sure you auowed — they cannot wear 'eans! i'm sure you allowed to — they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure you are allowed to do _ they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure you are allowed to do edging. _ they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure you are allowed to do edging. 0h, - they cannot wearjeans! i'm sure you are allowed to do edging. oh, you i are allowed to do edging. oh, you mean the royals? i don't think the royals wearjeans.—

the snow zone in milton keynes where i think it is colder inside than it is outside because of thesejuly conditions. some of the competitors just going up on the rope, they will be going up and coming down, 64 competitors are going to think —— vancouver for the competitors are going to think —— vancouverfor the games competitors are going to think —— vancouver for the games and for the first time there will be winter sports. that comes with all sorts of extra challenges, perhaps even opportunities is one way of thinking about it as well. the event will be run by the invictus games themselves supported by the ministry of defence and the royal british legion. the last few years, prince harry has brought so much focus and attention to it, he has congratulated the competitors who have been chosen for the team this morning. it means so much to them. here is an example to the difference it can make to people's lives, those wounded, injured or sick personnel. let's

meet mark, he lost his sight, he was serving in the army, he was then diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. after that, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. afterthat, his diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. after that, his 14—year—old son took his own life and there have been other serious medical issues within mark's family. now he can tell us exactly why the chance to compete in the invictus games means so much. and drive. hold that edge, hold that edge. left and right. hold that edge and drive. ultimately, you have to have 100% trust in your guide, but it's the best experience you can get i feel in sport as a visually impaired person. just the freedom of the mountain. your guide is in an ear via bluetooth? tells me everything i need to know. so snow conditions, snow under skis, even tells me the weather forecast. mark served in the army

for 12 years. it was in 2011, having suffered headaches and eye pain, that he suddenly lost his sight. but the invictus games gave him a new goal. i fancied myself as a good swimmer. with no winter sports mark took to the pool and in four events achieved two personal bests. how was it competing in those games? oh, my god, it was absolutely out of this world. yeah. i mean, it was in florida, it was awesome. it was like going back into the military, which was great. you ended up sitting next to someone quite notable. just talk us through that. prince harryjust come in, perched down next to us. and as he stood up to leave, i thought i'd stand up as well. and then we had a little chat. he's so down to earth. it was great. he actually took the time to listen. hope you've enjoyed this little channel update and i hope you like my background. it's pretty cool. this is when we went to invictus. mark's young son, sam, was a keen supporter.

i think sam was in his awe. i think it was... loved it, didn't he? yeah. thank you guys for watching this video and i'll see you in my next one. peace. a year later, aged just 14, sam took his own life. it was heartbreaking. a doctor called me, told me that sam had been in an accident. i thought he's fallen off his bike, you know. then i got a call from a nurse saying that sam had died. he was being bullied at school. quite a bit, but we thought we'd got on top of that. um... and he was always so happy. always smiling. we'd never even imagined anything was going to happen. if you're approached by somebody that's saying these sorts of things, that's what they're going to do, self—harm or going to take their own life, is not to withhold the secret,

but actually to speak up. bright, talented. anything a mum would want from a son. he was just amazing. yeah. completely lost without him. you stopped competing for a while, understandably. when and why did you decide to go back to competing and appear in these games next year? i fell out with a love of sport completely following sam. i wasn't in the right space, and eventually, you said just do it, i said i'm just going to go and try, put my skis back on and just like i'd never been away. together we're strong. and when an obstacle comes across, well, there's a wall in front of us, what do you do? do you go around it, do you go through it, do you go over it? you just knock it down and keep going. i'm just super excited

on jets at stansted. all eyes will be on dortmund this evening as england play in the euros semifinal. but over the past few weeks of football, have you spotted this? he's albert the bear, the tournament mascot. his name was all down to a public vote. but he was created by a company based here in london that's only been up and running for a few years. we're phenomenally proud of that. 0utside i guess the fifa world cup or copa america, uefa's the biggest tournament, particularly the biggest tournament in europe. so for us to design that mascot, it's been a real badge of honour for us as a team. this may sound like something straight out of sci—fi, butjust imagine attending school via a robot. a 12—year—old from twickenham is doing just that. howard was missing lessons due to his treatment for a rare form of cancer. so he was given a grant

for an avatar which sits in class in his place. it's made a really big impact for someone like me, who cares about, like, their school. i can open the app and it can show me the classroom. so when i do that, the head starts flashing, so that notifies the teacher that i'm trying to answer or ask a question. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the central line from leytonstone to marble arch. on the central line and severe delays on the hammersmith and city line from liverpool street to barking. and minor delays on the elizabeth line from paddington to heathrow. now onto the weather forecast. hello there. good morning. well, it's an improving day today. we have quite a cloudy start, a mild start as well. and there is the chance of a few showers still, but it does become drier and brighter as the day progresses, with some good spells of sunshine developing, but for the time being, still quite cloudy. still a few showers, quite a breezy day as well,

but more in the way of sunny spells developing quite widely into the afternoon and temperatures reaching around 20—23 celsius. it is quite breezy this evening as well. some clear skies overnight, but we are expecting some cloud to drop down from the north as we head through the night by the early hours, but staying largely dry, and temperatures holding up at 11—13 celsius. but it will be less humid tonight, and then over the next day or two, well, we're keeping an eye on this frontal system that mayjust bring some outbreaks of rain for a time on friday, but thursday itself should be largely dry. there should be some good spells of sunshine around. still quite warm as well, temperatures reaching 22 celsius, but becoming a bit cooler for friday with a chance of some rain. there's more on our website including the new futuristic buses heading to south london very soon. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. 0ur headlines today —

the prime minister has arrived in washington ahead of the 75th annual summit of nato member states. the conflict in ukraine and gaza are expected to feature prominently on the agenda, as members look to focus on their own defence capabilities while continuing to support allies. chris mason is travelling with the prime minister and sent us this update. hello. welcome to washington dc. the prime minister, keir starmer, arriving here in the last few hours. he's getting some sleep ahead of this summit getting underway in a few hours' time. delegations arriving from around the world. quite a moment for keir starmer. a week ago, the election hadn't even happened. now he is here on the world stage. he's got the foreign secretary, david lammy, with him, the defence secretary as well, john healey there, trying to introduce themselves to as many of the uk's allies as they can in the next few days to set out who they're about and what the government is about.

and then, of course, there is the focus on defence and security. nato is a defence alliance. that's what it's all about. it's its 75th anniversary summit. and there's a recognition from leaders here that the world has not been this dangerous for decades and decades and decades. a realfocus, of course, on ukraine and indeed on the middle east. keir starmer saying that he wants to spend 2.5% of the uk's national income on defence. but, crucially, he is not attaching a timeframe to that. it is a promise without a deadline. and so some critics say it isn't quite solid enough. plenty, then, to come in the next few days. as i say, quite a moment for the new prime minister. chris reporting live from washington as the nato summit gets under way.

speaks for itself, he has been to numerous semifinals now at major tournaments, and that is something england have not historically managed to do before. his former team—mate alan shearer, working out here, covering the tournament so far, believes that his former team mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us — mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us to _ mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us to the _ mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us to the semifinal- mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us to the semifinal in - mate deserves more respect. gareth has taken us to the semifinal in the i has taken us to the semifinal in the world _ has taken us to the semifinal in the world cup. — has taken us to the semifinal in the world cup, a final in the european championships, another semifinal in the european championships, we are all hoping _ the european championships, we are all hoping it is going to be a finat — all hoping it is going to be a finat so _ all hoping it is going to be a final. so when gareth took over, england — final. so when gareth took over, england were near rock bottom, so from _ england were near rock bottom, so from there — england were near rock bottom, so from there to where we are now in tournaments is totally changed. we now expect england to go this far, that is— now expect england to go this far, that is down to gareth and the job he has _ that is down to gareth and the job he has done. he now has to find a way to— he has done. he now has to find a way to get— he has done. he now has to find a way to get over the line and win that trophy. he way to get over the line and win that trophy-— that trophy. he certainly has the -la ers to that trophy. he certainly has the players to do — that trophy. he certainly has the players to do that. _ that trophy. he certainly has the players to do that. we _ that trophy. he certainly has the players to do that. we saw- that trophy. he certainly has the players to do that. we saw that l players to do that. we saw that brilliantjude bellingham late brilliant jude bellingham late equaliser against brilliantjude bellingham late equaliser against slovakia, those brilliantly taken penalties which

pride of place seats just outside the long room so they and watch and cheerjimmy elsie runs out here for a test match for england for the final time. a test match for england for the finaltime. nearly a test match for england for the final time. nearly 42, a test match for england for the finaltime. nearly 42, 108 a test match for england for the final time. nearly 42,108 caps for england and thus a 700 test wickets, the last he got in march this year. so the best record of any english cricketer, the best of any fast bowler in the world. ah! cricketer, the best of any fast bowler in the world.— cricketer, the best of any fast bowler in the world. a lot of people have always — bowler in the world. a lot of people have always told _ bowler in the world. a lot of people have always told me _ bowler in the world. a lot of people have always told me that _ bowler in the world. a lot of people have always told me that you - bowler in the world. a lot of people j have always told me that you would know when the time is right, stuart alistair cooke, people close to me that have retired have always sort of known when the right time to go is. i don't know if that would have come for me, it could have been one of those things where i don't need it up on the shoulder to see, we want to go on a different direction. what mementos do you have at home?

probably all of my fifa bowls from both lancashire and england and one—day cricket, i would have stomps one—day cricket, i would have stomps on the staircase —like alistair cooke. but it is nice to... i have come in the last couple of months, even, just looking at all caps and old photos, even, of test victories in india, in australia things like that. people i've played with, and remembering back to good times is, um, has been really special. welcome to old age. can you pinpoint one? can you pinpoint something out of this immense career? just something, a moment? yeah. oh, gosh. it's hard to say one out of so many games, but i feel like i got ten at trent bridge in 2013, and that's probably the most

complete performance that i've played in an england shirt. 0h! just everything felt good from ball one. ijust felt like i could get every single one of their players out. um, you know, there's always one or two players and maybe you think, "i'm not getting him out today," but that day, ifelt like i was invincible. you don't seem a very emotionalfella to me, you don't seem a very emotional fella to me, jimmy, but you'll have a lump when you're walking out there? guards of honour and all that sort of business going on. you're braced for that? i'm sure at some point there'll be emotion there, but i think i don't want it to come too early, so i'm trying to block it out

as much as possible. i don't want to be at the end of my mark bawling my eyes out. so we don't want to do that. no—one wants to see that. he has not ruled out playing again for his county next season, but as for his county next season, but as for england, this will be his last time on the opening day of a test match later today. mike, thank you very much indeed. mike and john in germany. so much sport. now carroll has the weather. ——now carol has the weather. a real deluge of rain yesterday. what we are looking at today is a cloudy stop, still some rain around, the heaviest of which today will be across the north—east of scotland, but some of us will see some sunshine this afternoon. if you have an allergy to pollen, worth mentioning the levels are moderate or high across many parts of the

country today. we have seen heavy rain overnight across northern ireland, northern england, and southern scotland. some has been thundery and it is still persistent across the north—east of scotland, and in fact, across the north—east of scotland, and infact, if across the north—east of scotland, and in fact, if we take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart over the rainfall accumulation chart over the next few days, you can see how we have the dark breeze across parts of north—east scotland and northern inwood. this is where we have the heaviest rain to come. and where we have also had it. now, as we go through the course of today, low pressure once again dominates our weather. is the same area of low pressure, this weather front still dangling across parts of the north, bringing a terrain with it. we're also starting a few showers in the west, and a few in the south—east, but many of the showers fade and it'll brighten up for south—west england, southern counties come in the midlands, east anglia, and in towards lincolnshire. the showers fading as we go through the afternoon, the rain across northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland turning more shallow, but it will still be heavy and persistent across the north—east

of scotland, where we also have a northerly wind. so that is going to feel cold. temperatures below average for the time of year. as we move south, we have a high of 22, that will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. the risk of some showers present this morning, possible into the early afternoon at wimbledon, but it is a low risk, it should be dry, certainly a lot drier than the close yesterday. and tomorrow is not looking too bad either. into this evening and overnight, the rain in scotland, which is a weather front bearing it, move south, and the rain that turns more patchy in nature. a fair bit of cloud around, not as humid in night, we are looking at ten to 12 celsius as the overnight lows. tomorrow, are and weather front sinking south, but we are keeping a close eye on what is happening around the bay of biscay. not so on thursday, fairly cloudy with a weak weather front producing some spots of rain here and there across the central swathe of the country. to the north end to the south, some sunshine, but a cool

northerly breeze. temperatures 13 to 22 celsius. at this time of year, we would expect about 16 to 22 north to south. so here's the system i was telling you about in the bay of biscay. it might well swipe at the south—east and south of england during the course of friday. jury still out on that one, could travel a little further north, friday, a fair bit of cloud, but there will be some brightness and also some showers as well. these are your temperatures. few cool. thank you, carol. the time is 6.51. storks have been associated with the bringing of newborn babies and now they are making headlines by having babies of their own. yes, they are thriving again in the wild, as our reporter can tell us.

soaring in the south skies, it's 600 years since white storks last bred in britain. but here at the knepp estate near horsham, they hatched a plan to re—establish these once native birds, starting with some injured ones which couldn't fly and were brought overfrom poland. it took until last year to actually start to breed and we were thrilled with the success. we had three chicks across two ground nests last year, and this year they've started breeding even more. on this nest, we've got four chicks which are just 45 days old today, and behind them we've got a couple more nests in the woodlands here. these ground nesters have acted as a magnet, attracting migratory white storks who've nowjoined them here and begun breeding too. every year there are reports of storks flying across the channel,

looking up and down, particularly the south coast. but they won't go anywhere unless they can see other storks. so it's taken this long for us to start being joined by these migratory returns, which is thrilling. the adults will return back to the same nest year after year. they can be enormous structures weighing up to a tonne in places. what we need to start thinking about is the invertebrates, the beetles, the flies that actually live within their nests. and those nests have been missing from our landscape for over 600 years. so you get different birds nesting within the bottom of a stork nest. get house and tree sparrows, even parakeets, different finches in some areas. the best bit is getting reports from across the county and beyond of people seeing storks in different environments. it's really lovely. if you're kind of looking at the sky towards august, that's when they go off to migrate, typically at the end of august. so they are exploring along the south coast. they then go off and migrate and return in february, march time. we might very well start seeing storks nesting away from this site and in different habitats, and potentially, like we see across the continent, even on buildings one day, perhaps across anywhere in sussex

and hopefully beyond. so keep your eyes out over the coming months for a special delivery of storks. sean killick, bbc news. they first featured nearly 30 years ago in an episode of the simpsons, and now a prediction that cypress hill would perform alongside the london some funny looks up is about to come true. an unlikely collaboration, but tonight they will merge their contrasting sounds at the royal albert hall. colin paterson has all the details. cypress hill and the london symphony orchestra, a collaboration almost 30 years in the making. come on, people, somebody ordered the london symphony orchestra. possibly while high. cypress hill, i'm looking in your direction.

back in 1996, when an episode of the simpsons featured a joke where cypress hill believed they'd mistakenly booked the lso whilst under the influence. uh, yeah. yeah, we think we did. uh, do you know, insane in the brain? we mostly know classical, but we could give it a shot. tonight, thatjoke becomes a reality at the royal albert hall. you know, it's been something that we've talked about for many years since the simpsons episode first aired, and it's finally coming to light. how did it come about? it didn't actually start to come to life till a tweet happened. in 2017, the band reminded people about the episode on their social media, and the london symphony orchestra replied. and we started speaking with them back and forth. "how can we put this together?" and they seemed to be interested about it, so we just kept carrying on the conversation. fortunately, you know, they were available and interested and willing

to do it as well. so it took a few years, but we finally got it. # insane in the membrane # insane in the brain...# cypress hill were the first rap group to be given a star on the hollywood walk of fame, and tonight's show will feature their black sunday album being played in its entirety. it sold more than three million copies in the us, and spent a whole year on the uk charts. and the london symphony orchestra are very excited they're getting to play with them. i hope people willjust have a great time. i hope it will bring some nostalgia to people who might be coming, because they actually saw the episode at the time and thought, "what a funny thing to happen." but i also hope it brings people's attention to the lso. is this the sweariest gig in the lso history? um, yes, i think it's... potentially it is.

this is far from the first time the simpsons has made an accurate prediction about the future. an episode in 2000 famously said donald trump would become president 16 years before he did. as you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from president trump. and as for cypress hill, they really feel tonight's show has been their destiny. we salute the simpsons, man, because if they had not written that episode, we probably wouldn't be doing this. # just for a second # don't get me wrong, it's not a new method...# cypress hill and the lso, an idea that's truly insane in the brain, but is now a reality. colin patterson, bbc news. looking forward to that, hopefully we will get some good footage of that tomorrow. time now for the news, travel, and whether where you

are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. heathrow has been granted a high court injunction against potential environmental protesters on the site. the airport said it agreed aviation must decarbonise, but disrupting people's well earned travel plans was not the way to reach net zero. last month two members ofjust stop 0il were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after paint was sprayed on jets at stansted. all eyes will be on dortmund this evening as england play in the euros semifinal. but over the past few weeks of football have you spotted this? he's albart the bear, the tournament mascot. his name was all down to a public vote. but he was created by a company based here in london that's only been up and running for a few years. we're phenomenally proud of that. 0utside i guess the fifa world cup or copa america, uefa's the biggest tournament, particularly the biggest tournament in europe.

so for us to design that mascot, it's been a real badge of honour for us as a team. this may sound like something straight out of sci—fi, butjust imagine attending school via a robot. a 12—year—old from twickenham is doing just that. howard was missing lessons due to his treatment for a rare form of cancer. so he was given a grant for an avatar which sits in class in his place. it's made a really big impact for someone like me, who cares about, like, their school. i can open the app and it can show me the classroom. so when i do that, the head starts flashing, so that notifies the teacher that i'm trying to answer or ask a question. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's severe delays on the central line due to late running engineering works. and severe delays on the hammersmith and city line from liverpool street to barking. and minor delays on the elizabeth line from paddington

to heathrow/ reading. now onto the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, it's an improving day today. we have quite a cloudy start, a mild start as well. and there is the chance of a few showers still, but it does become drier and brighter as the day progresses, with some good spells of sunshine developing, but for the time being, still quite cloudy. still a few showers, quite a breezy day as well, but more in the way of sunny spells developing quite widely into the afternoon and temperatures reaching around 20—23 celsius. it is quite breezy this evening as well. some clear skies overnight, but we are expecting some cloud to drop down from the north as we head through the night by the early hours, but staying largely dry, and temperatures holding up at 11—13 celsius. but it will be less humid tonight, and then over the next day or two, well, we're keeping an eye on this frontal system that mayjust bring some outbreaks of rain for a time on friday, but thursday itself should be largely dry. there should be some good spells of sunshine around.

still quite warm as well, temperatures reaching 22 celsius, but becoming a bit cooler for friday with a chance of some rain. there's more on our website including the new futuristic buses heading to south london very soon. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. 0ur headlines today. sir keir starmer touches down in washington tojoin the 75th nato summit, as he makes a cast iron commitment to increase defence spending. president biden welcomed leaders with a forceful speech, declaring the military alliance "more powerful than ever". we are ready, and we are willing, we are able to deter aggression and defend every inch of nato territory across every domain.

land, air, sea, cyberand space. the countdown is on to england's euros semifinal against the netherlands. england fans face a nervous day ahead as we countdown to kick off here in dortmund tonight. knowing spain a weight if they can qualify for sunday's final. we are at st matthew's catholic primary in liverpool whereas certain super sub's name was plucked from a hat when he was just six to play for liverpool. we will be rooting for him tonight, when we come again? and good morning from lord's where there will be tears forjames anderson today as he gets set to play in his last test match for england —— there will be cheering forjames anderson today.

a cloudy start for many of us today, showers in the south are going to fade and brightening up, in the northern summer rain, the heaviest and most persistent in the north east of scotland. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday 10th july. the prime minister has arrived in washington for the 75th annual summit of the nato defence alliance, where he will also hold talks with the us presidentjoe biden. ahead of his first overseas trip in the role, sir keir starmer said the uk had a cast iron commitment to spending 2.5% of national income on defence but stopped short of giving a timeline for the promise to be delivered. 0ur north america correspondent carl nasman reports. this summit, a tribute to history. yesterday's ceremony taking place in the very hall where the nato treaty was first signed 75 years ago. but the meeting isjust as much

about looking forward. the host, us presidentjoe biden, touting the growing strength of the alliance and new shipments of air defence for ukraine in its war with russia. all of the allies knew, before this war putin thought nato would break. today nato is stronger than it has ever been in its history. when this senseless war began, ukraine was a free country. today, it is still a free country. and the war will end with ukraine remaining a free and independent country. ukraine is top of the agenda, but for many world leaders, there's more at stake. sir keir starmer lands in washington for his first international appearance as prime minister, and his first ever meeting with president biden. he has been pressed on labour's defence budget committing to boosting defence spending to 2.5% of gdp, but without a specific timeline. today, tomorrow and the next day

is all about standing together with our allies, discussing practically how we provide further support for ukraine, and send a very, very clear message to putin that we will stand against russian aggression wherever it is in the world. french president emmanuel macron faces tough questions. he has been one of ukraine's strongest backers but politically he is weakened with france potentially facing a hung parliament and the far right gaining seats. here in washington, president zelensky is hoping for more support to fend off attacks like this one in kyiv on monday. but he's also aware of the elephant in the room. together with america, the world is capable of doing the right things. when we all act strong enough, determined enough, and this must be our strategy, exactly this. and right now, with all the american power, that no putins can repel.

the us presidential election looms over this alliance. donald trump has been sceptical of nato. president biden hopes to prove he is strong enough to keep his rival out of office. carl nasman, bbc news, washington. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has urged the us attends a meeting of nato leaders in washington, 0ur correspondentjames waterhouse is in kyiv. what is president zelenskiy hoping to get out of that trip, james? ih to get out of that trip, james? i“! an ideal world for president zelensky, he and ukraine would be announced as the 33rd member of nato, article five would be activated and nato allies would come to ukraine's aid, put boots on the ground and help them repel invading russian forces but i think everyone knows that it is almost certainly

not going to happen. there are some things that he will welcome. there will be this statement where they thought about the irreversible course of ukraine's membership, but frustratingly for kyiv, there is no sense of timeline on that because of russia's ongoing invasion and because of the west's nervousness about this turning into a world war. he is going to be on the receiving end of five more patriot defence systems. he had been calling for ten, not least of the attacks of the night before last, because russia is increasingly striking ukrainian cities. he will welcome five, and we could well have more announcements on more military aid to come ukraine's way. the issue of ukraine's way. the issue of ukraine's lack of nato membership plays a central role in russia's war in ukraine. it is why vladimir putin felt able to launch this invasion, because he knew the west could not

plug this gap on europe's eastern flank. it's also a deep source of resentment for vladimir putin in the way that the nato alliance has spread eastwards, not least with the collapse of the soviet union at the beginning of the 905. so this is a loaded day for ukraine, we will see what comes out of it.— loaded day for ukraine, we will see what comes out of it. thank you, for now, what comes out of it. thank you, for now. james- — 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. good morning, henry. the prime minister reiterating what he has called a cast—iron commitment to defence spending but still que5tion5 defence spending but still questions over how much exactly and by when, crucially. over how much exactly and by when, cruciall . . �* , , crucially. that's exactly right, sarah. nato _ crucially. that's exactly right, sarah. nato member- crucially. that's exactly right, sarah. nato member states l crucially. that's exactly right, l sarah. nato member states are expected to spend at least 2% of national income on defence. the uk has been hitting that for some years. just a few years ago only six of nato's members were at that level, it's now up to 23, and some member states want that number to be nudged up to 2.5%, and that is where this debate is now fourth keir

starmer. he says that he wants to spend 2.5% of national income on defence, when the circumstances allow. when will that be? we don't know. the prime minister was asked on his way over to washington by journalists on the plane when that would be, he said that next week the government would begin a strategic defence review which will aim to establish the defence capabilities the uk will need in the future, and that will inform how fast the uk can get to that level of spending. he still says he is committed to it but within his fiscal rule5. so i think we are going to see this debate to play out for some time and i don't think we're going to get a clear point at which the uk will hit that level for some time either. thanks, hen . level for some time either. thanks, henry- we — level for some time either. thanks, henry- we are _ level for some time either. thanks, henry. we are speaking _ level for some time either. thanks, henry. we are speaking to - level for some time either. thanks, henry. we are speaking to the - level for some time either. thanks, henry. we are speaking to the new| henry. we are speaking to the new armed forces minister luke pollard in the next half an hour. let's go tojon for the in the next half an hour. let's go to jon for the rest in the next half an hour. let's go tojon for the rest of in the next half an hour. let's go to jon for the rest of the in the next half an hour. let's go tojon for the rest of the morning's new5 tojon for the rest of the morning's news and i'm getting football might play a part in your bulletin. it mightjust, yes!

england's footballers will face the netherlands later in the second semifinal of the euros, with the winners 5et to play spain on sunday. john is there for us this morning. everything is at stake. it's hard to overstate how significant this is for those players and for those fans who have travelled out there. ye5, yes, you cannot downplay it, it's a huge day, a huge moment in english football. can they make it into back—to—back european championship finals? can they find their way to win? it has not been pretty. most of the time here in germany for england so far. but they have got over the line when it matters, be it last—minute equalising goal5 line when it matters, be it last—minute equalising goals from 5tar player5 last—minute equalising goals from 5tar players such as last—minute equalising goals from 5tar players such a5jude bellingham or the penalty shoot—out success which is steered them into the semifinals after beating switzerland last time out. the fans watching this morning back home and the many more here who will be going to the

match hoping that england can make it all the way to send a'5 final in berlin. andy swiss reports. —— sunday's final. # 0h, saka, run it down the wing, saka! excited? but of course. england fans soaking up the atmosphere in dortmund, even enjoying a quick spot the ball competition. # can't start a fire without a spark! a euro semifinal beckons. so will it be another nail biter? oh, my gosh. it's the stuff of dreams. i'm here with my 16—year—old son, who's just finished his gcses so this is our summer holiday. i don't think you need to play well |to win this particular tournament, j and england is not playing well, so we'll see how that goes. - do you think they can go all the way? i do, i do, we are- definitely going to berlin. watched bellingham's overhead kick, watched the penalties, and now we're going to play better and win. come on! how confident are you feeling? ifeel confident, i really do feel confident. believe in them, i think they're doing t'right things, playing t'right way. i think we've got it. we can win, this easy.

well, getting this far has hardly been an easyjourney for england. but for their thousands of fans arriving here in dortmund, there is now one simple question. can they reach another euros final? gareth southgate's side haven't played their finest football so far in germany, but they know this is some opportunity. this is now the chance to make history, which we've enjoyed doing that. chance to get to the first final not held in england. first time england will have ever done that. so we're trying to break new ground. dumfries across the goal, it's an inviting ball, gakpo came in. the netherlands though should be their toughest test so far, they're seventh in the world rankings, just two places below england. here we go. but in their penalty shoot—out win over switzerland, england showed their spirit here. can they now show their best when it really matters? england go through! andy swiss, bbc news, dortmund.

yes, and! yes, and i think that is what the players will be hoping for, to show their best because they have not really hit their dizzying heights that many will have expected at this tournament so far. gareth southgate the england manager urging those players not to let this opportunity slip through their fingers. it's a huge moment for gareth southgate as well, his record really speaks for itself. three semifinals in the four major tournaments, incredibly impressive, it wasn't always the way for england at major tournaments, they often struggle the knockout matches but still he has faced criticism for the style of play that england have produced. that will all be forgotten if they win it later and can make it through to the final and can make it through to the final and the fans will be hoping that this dream of at long last winning a major men's tournament for england can remain alive. everything costs, john, thank you very much indeed. we will speak to

john later and we will hear from some very over excited children in the next half an hour here on breakfast! brea kfast! now breakfast! now the latest news in the middle east. the hamas run health authority says at least 29 palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people in southern gaza. 0ur correspondent nick beake is injerusalem. bring us the latest, what have you been able to establish? it morning, jon. we been able to establish? it morning, m we have _ been able to establish? it morning, jon. we have heard _ been able to establish? it morning, jon. we have heard from _ been able to establish? it morning, jon. we have heard from three - jon. we have heard from three eyewitnesses who have been talking to the bbc describing an horrific scene after this missile hit yesterday. just to give you the context, this was a school that was being used as a shelter for lots of families who had been moving from other places trying to seek safety. this missile hit without any warning whatsoever. local doctors are saying

that at least 29 people have been killed, including women and children. the israeli army say that they are looking into reports of civilian casualties but say that what happened was they used in their words a precision weapon to target someone who they said was a hamas fighter who was involved in the october seven attacks. it is worth 0ctober seven attacks. it is worth noting, this is the fourth missile strike on schools in gaza in the past four days. in the previous three cases, the israeli authorities say they were targeting members of hamas, may have it was politicians or police officers, or fighters. hamas, may have it was politicians or police officers, orfighters. all of the while the fighting is raging, there are hopes that the talks that get going again today to try to find some kind of ceasefire in which some of those hostages would be released, there are hopes that they may be moving in the right direction but really both sides accusing the other of undermining the process. hamas is saying that the ongoing military operation means it is really

difficult to do a deal, the prime minister here in israel benjamin netanyahu saying the fighting will not stop, the military operation won't stop until hamas has been completely destroyed. the problem with that is some opposition figures here but also some senior figures of the israeli military believe that that could be an impossible aim, trying to destroy hamas altogether, how do you do that? all of the while the talks continue in doha and qatar today, and the hope is behind—the—scenes some progress is being made. if there is a breakthrough coming, there is no sign of it as of yet.— sign of it as of yet. thank you for the update, _ sign of it as of yet. thank you for the update, nick. _ it has stood overlooking the 0xfordshire countryside for more than 3000 years and now britain's oldest chalk figure, the uffington horse, has had a face—lift. archaeologists began work last year when a survey revealed part of the 111 metre long bronze age landmark had shrunk considerably.

break up and turn showery through the day. showers across southern england fading through the morning into the early afternoon, then we have dry weather and some sunshine. the rain will persist across parts of the north—east of scotland where we will also feel how cold it is because of the northerly breeze and temperature is below average. in the sunshine further south, 22 will feel pleasant. the rain across north—east scotland slips south, it is patchy in nature, a cloud around and clearer skies in the sale and it will be a fresher night than last night. —— clearer skies in the south. a weak weather front bearing patchy rain south overnight. tomorrow cloud around but in the north of the scotland and the south of england and south wales we will see some sunshine. in the northerly wind it will feel cool. temperatures 13 in the north to 23 in the south tomorrow, the average is 16 to 22.

since it was first introduced 6 years ago, the soft drinks industry levy, widely known as the sugar tax, has applied an additional tariff to drinks containing a certain amount of sugar, based on their volume. as well as raising millions of pounds in additional revenue, the scheme has, according to health experts proved so beneficial, that it should now be extended to cover other food and drink products. analysis of daily sugar intake between 2008 and 2019 across the uk found that it fell by around 4.8 grams for children, and 10.9 grams for adults, in the 12 months following the levy�*s introduction. most of the decrease came from a reduction in the levels of sugar in soft drinks, slashing three grams off a child's daily sugar consumption and more than five grams off that of adults. we arejoined now by the gp, dr mohit mandiratta.

struggles to process that blood sugar and that can lead to type two diabetes. if we are getting too much energy in our body we struggle to store it will lead to obesity which is linked to heart disease and osteoarthritis ofjoints, and osteoarthritis of joints, and cancers osteoarthritis ofjoints, and cancers as well. for a whole host of reasons, sugar intake reduction is really important.— reasons, sugar intake reduction is really important. what these figures show is that — really important. what these figures show is that clearly _ really important. what these figures show is that clearly this _ really important. what these figures show is that clearly this sugar - really important. what these figures show is that clearly this sugar tax i show is that clearly this sugar tax works. , ., , ., ,, show is that clearly this sugar tax works. , ., , .,~ ., works. yes, it does. so make a oli works. yes, it does. so make a policy decision _ works. yes, it does. so make a policy decision making - works. yes, it does. so make a policy decision making is - works. yes, it does. so make a policy decision making is above works. yes, it does. so make a - policy decision making is above my pay scale, we need to make sure these decisions do not affect our lower income population is especially but this is part of the whole range of changes that can be made. education is key, if we can make our children healthier that reduces the health burden on the nhs. what we can do to educate our population to eat and cook healthy and it dis— incentivise high sugar foods, we need to incentivise healthy food to make them more

the teacher that i'm trying to answer or ask a question. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there are severe delays on the central line. minor delays on the hammersmith and city line. and minor delays on the elizabeth line. now onto the weather forecast. hello there. good morning. well, it's an improving day today. we have quite a cloudy start, a mild start as well. and there is the chance of a few showers still, but it does become drier and brighter as the day progresses, with some good spells of sunshine developing, but for the time being, still quite cloudy. still a few showers, quite a breezy day as well, but more in the way of sunny spells developing quite widely into the afternoon and temperatures reaching around 20—23 celsius. it is quite breezy this evening as well. some clear skies overnight, but we are expecting some cloud to drop down from the north

as we head through the night by the early hours, but staying largely dry, and temperatures holding up at 11—13 celsius. but it will be less humid tonight, and then over the next day or two, we'll be keeping an eye on this frontal system that mayjust bring some outbreaks of rain for a time on friday, but thursday itself should be largely dry. there should be some good spells of sunshine around. still quite warm as well, temperatures reaching 22 celsius, but becoming a bit cooler for friday with a chance of some rain. there's more on our website including the new futuristic buses heading to south london very soon. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. the prime minister has said the uk has a "cast iron commitment" to spending 2.5% of national income on defence, but stopped short of giving a timeline for when the target

would be achieved. it comes as sir keir starmerjoins other nato leaders for a conference in washington, marking the 75th anniversary of the alliance. we're joined now by the armed forces minister luke pollard. thank you forjoining us this morning. let's get straight on with the question that people are asking, is this 2.5% commitment, it has been said, sir keir starmer has said this is a commitment, but there's still no why not? irate is a commitment, but there's still no why not?— is a commitment, but there's still no why not? we will be setting out next week a _ no why not? we will be setting out next week a strategic _ no why not? we will be setting out next week a strategic defence - next week a strategic defence review that will look at the threat to the uk is facing, and the capabilities that we need to meet those threats. it is right that that is the first step, because we have a commitment to spend 2.5% of gdp, and now it is necessary to set up what we will be spending that on and how we will be

spending that on and how we will be spending it. importantly, iwant to send a signal to british industry that this government will be spending more on uk industry and sending contracts abroad for the military equipment and we have seen in the past, supporting jobs and growth across the country, but we live in the wee difficult times. we know there are threats to our country and our allies, and this will also look at the war in ukraine and what lessons we need to learn from that to ensure that our fighting forces are ready to deter and if necessary defeat any aggressor in the future. irate and if necessary defeat any aggressor in the future. we are livin: in aggressor in the future. we are living in dangerous _ aggressor in the future. we are living in dangerous times, - aggressor in the future. we are living in dangerous times, and l aggressor in the future. we are | living in dangerous times, and it aggressor in the future. we are i living in dangerous times, and it is that fact that has made people, security experts, concerned about the fact there is no timescale. looking at lord west, former head of the navy and also security minister under the previous labour government, he is quoted in several of this morning's papers saying that labour should outline a timeline throughout the summit to set an example to all european countries, and that delaying spending money, by not setting out a plan, suggests that there is no money. so lots of

people concerned and want to know when this 2.5% is going to happen. is it going to happen this parliament?— is it going to happen this parliament? ~ ., _, ., parliament? we are committed to reachin: parliament? we are committed to reaching 2-5% _ parliament? we are committed to reaching 2.5% on _ parliament? we are committed to reaching 2.5% on defence. - parliament? we are committed to reaching 2.5% on defence. what l parliament? we are committed to. reaching 2.5% on defence. what we spend that money on a slew important, and how we spend it. that is why the strategic defence review that will be announced next week we'll look at the threats we are facing and how we work with our allies. so across the nato alliance, it is important that every single member state to spend 2% of their gdp on defence. in washington, the prime minister and the defence secretary are making the case for our ambition to spend 2.5%, matching the commitment of the uk has made, but we know from experience of ukraine the advocacy of president zelenskyy in washington over the past 24 hours, but there is a necessity to make sure that we are getting the support to ukraine so that they can win now. we know there is a pressing urgency for that, which is fine within the first few

days of taking office then you defence secretary has already accelerated the instructions to deliver equipment. the ammunition, the muscles, that we have promised ukraine, to get to them within the next 100 days. it is very important we do that because we need to continue to support ukraine until the women, because if russia wins in ukraine, they will not stop, they will continue to threaten native states and threaten the united kingdom. that is why this defence review that we will set out details of next week is so important, because it will help shape the future size and shape of our armed forces to deter any aggression in the first instance and if necessary defeat it. ~ , , . ., , , defeat it. with respect, that is why eo - le defeat it. with respect, that is why --eole are defeat it. with respect, that is why people are so _ defeat it. with respect, that is why people are so concerned _ defeat it. with respect, that is why people are so concerned about - defeat it. with respect, that is why| people are so concerned about how long the suspender commitment will take. can you hearand long the suspender commitment will take. can you hear and now give a commitment that by the end of this parliamentary session, by 2029, that the commitment will be at 2.5%. can you give that? the the commitment will be at 2.5%. can you give that?— you give that? the prime minister has set out _ you give that? the prime minister has set out that _ you give that? the prime minister has set out that we _ you give that? the prime minister has set out that we have - you give that? the prime minister has set out that we have this - has set out that we have this

ironclad commitment to get there, but he is also quite rightly set out that we will meet that commitment within our fiscal rules. we will not pretend, like the previous administration has done, that the money is there when it is not, and we know that the number one mission of this government is to grow our economy. the only way we will be able to get to 2.5% of gdp on defence, and the only way we will be able to repairand defence, and the only way we will be able to repair and rebuild our health service, our education, prisons, the damage done across our public sectors to grow our economy. and defence can play an important role in that. billions of pounds are spent by the ministry of defence every year, i want more of that spent in the uk supporting apprenticeships to get people into good paid jobs with good skills and good paid jobs with good skills and good opportunities for the future. that is what the defence review will set out, that is a necessary first step in how we get to 2.5% of our gdp being spent on defence. more details will be set out next week after the prime minister has come back from the nato summit. but this is an important first step we are taking her. but that commitment to

spend 2.5% is something that was in our manifesto, it is somewhat every single minister in the mod is focused on, and indeed something the prime minister and the chancellor are focused on as well. the way we achieve that is byjoining our economy. achieve that is by 'oining our economyfi achieve that is by 'oining our econom . �* , ., economy. but still no timescale. recruitment _ economy. but still no timescale. recruitment is _ economy. but still no timescale. recruitment is an _ economy. but still no timescale. recruitment is an issue, - economy. but still no timescale. - recruitment is an issue, recruitment to the armed forces is a huge issue, you will know this, you are from a forces family, what can you do about that, how can you get more people to want tojoin the that, how can you get more people to want to join the armed forces? there want to 'oin the armed forces? there are a want to join the armed forces? there are a lot of — want to join the armed forces? there are a lot of people — want to join the armed forces? there are a lot of people who _ want to join the armed forces? there are a lot of people who want - want to join the armed forces? there are a lot of people who want to - want to join the armed forces? ii—urr are a lot of people who want to join the armed forces, and what we know it is about 80% of those people that have applied to join at the army, navy, the air force, drop out before they reach the training establishment because of how long it takes to join, sometimes over a year from the moment they sign on to arriving at their training establishment. that is far too long. we need to make sure that we are as a country recruiting the very best to armed forces, and importantly retaining them. we have already started a piece of work looking at recruitment, how we can make that

faster and better, but also how we retain people, and we know that over the last 14 years, morale has been falling in armed forces. i know there is no lodge accommodation read across our country, we are asking our service personnel to live in it, but have black mould and bedrooms, leaky roofs, broken boilers. that is not good enough, and so that is why one of the commitment to the new government has made as to renew the contract between the nation and those who serve, so it is notjust about the kit and equipment, the capabilities i spoke about at the start of this interview, that is important. we have to be sure that we are offering the people who serve our nation in uniform the very best to not only recruit well but to stay and armed forces, and for those relieved to be able to return to our armed forces, because the only way we deter aggression is with people, and with the equipment to go along with it, and we can have all the equipment we want to come if we haven't got to be people that is not

going to work, that is why a people focused approach to make sure we are recruiting and keeping the best is at the heart of our defence policy as well. ., , , ., as well. you will be getting used to our new as well. you will be getting used to your new role, _ as well. you will be getting used to your new role, your— as well. you will be getting used to your new role, your new _ as well. you will be getting used to your new role, your new office, - as well. you will be getting used to | your new role, your new office, your new desk. what is at the very top of your agenda this week? this new desk. what is at the very top of your agenda this week?— new desk. what is at the very top of your agenda this week? this week is makin: your agenda this week? this week is making sure — your agenda this week? this week is making sure the _ your agenda this week? this week is making sure the investment - making sure the investment and support is going to ukraine. we know from the appalling attack we saw a few days ago on the children's hospital in kyiv that civilians are dying on a daily basis in ukraine because of vladimir putin's illegal war. the defence secretary has set out plans to make sure that the brimstone missiles, the ammunition, the new maritime attack boats that we promised ukraine, get there faster. because president zelenskyy does not have time on his side here. if we want to support ukraine, we have to make sure they are getting the equipment so they can win, which means getting equipment there faster, encouraging more of our allies to support that effort, that has to be our priority, as well as setting the parameters fully defence review next week to make sure uk

france 2—1 last night. france took the lead, and we have seen one of the lead, and we have seen one of the goals of the tournament so far, a stunning effort from 16—year—old lamine yamal who equalised before dani 0lmo scored the winner moments later. spain have their eyes on winning another european championship title. we are here this morning at the national football museum here in dortmund in germany, it is where lots of football fans have been coming over the recent weeks as they have arrived here in dortmund for matches. it has been a real destination as lord's as for cricket, that is where mike has this morning for what will be a very special day for one player in particular, james anderson, who is bidding farewell to england as he prepares for his international retirement.— prepares for his international retirement. absolutely, good morning- _ retirement. absolutely, good morning. these _ retirement. absolutely, good morning. these next - retirement. absolutely, good morning. these next few - retirement. absolutely, good i morning. these next few days, especially today, will be steeped in if you are now history, because for

many fans, especially those under the age of 30, they cannot think of a time when england play without jimmy anderson, he has become an icon, a record—breaking fast bowler in world cricket, 700 test wickets over 21 years. he is now nearly 42, unheard of when it comes to fast bowlers because of the impact that pace bowling has on your body. it is the 189th cap he will get later today to call time on his test career. so around serve, they will be cheering him in the comet will be absolutely packed, chilling him down the slope onto the wicket, and if england are bowling first, he could be delivering that opening over. what a moment that would be on the opening day of his final test match. we will hear from jimmy opening day of his final test match. we will hearfromjimmy in opening day of his final test match. we will hear from jimmy in an opening day of his final test match. we will hearfromjimmy in an hour's time, but first, a busy day

elsewhere intricate, because down on the south coast, england's women have won their second match against new zealand to go two —— zero up in theirfive match series, despite new zealand to go two —— zero up in their five match series, despite the weather's best attempts to turn the match. batting first, england made 89-6 match. batting first, england made 89—6 from the nine overs, the top scorer with 28 was alice capsey. but the rain continued to fall and affected new zealand's innings, with the match called off in the seventh over of their choice. new zealand were 42—5 at that stage, losing in the end by 23 runs on the duckworth—lewis method. the third t20 is tomorrow. he may be the world number one, butjannik sinner�*s hopes of winning wimbledon will have to wait another year. he's been knocked out by daniil medvedev in the quarterfinals.

carlos alcaraz survived a scare as he moved a step closer to defending his title. he lost the first set against american tommy paul before fighting back to win the next three to set up a final four tie against medvedev. in the women's draw, italian world number sevenjasmine paolini is into her first wimbledon semi final. she beat the american emma navarro in straight sets, dropping just three games in less than a hour. paolini will play donna vekic next after she beat the qualifer lulu sun. and 11 stages to go at the tour de france, and slovenia's tadej pogacar is still in the yellowjersey. the leaders all finished together on a flat stage ten yesterday. butjoy for belgium's yasper philipsen, who sprinted to win his first stage this year. people have been queueing outside the ground here since midnight, they want to get the best seats, the ones nearest to where jimmy anderson and the others will be nearest to wherejimmy anderson and the others will be running nearest to where jimmy anderson and the others will be running out at around 11.00. he has not ruled out playing on for lancashire, because

he has been in great form, which will worry the west end today, he took 7—35 just last week. he will worry the west end today, he took 7—35just last week. he might be back playing for lancashire next season, and you would think that on current form he will add to those 700 test wickets over the coming days here at lord's. thanks, mike. do you think they will have the tv set up for the euros as well? it will be finishing about 6.30, plenty of time for people to find somewhere to watch. let's see what the weather will be like with carol. for many of us, it will be dry, and what is happening today as we have rain across the north, gladly start for all of us, showers in the south that will fade. as we go through the

rest of the week, coming a bit drier, it will not be bone dry, it will turn that bit cooler at times as well. pollen levels today across much of the country moderate to high. some storms across scotland and northern ireland, persistent rain for much of the day in scotland. some scattered showers around, a lot of them will tend to fade through the day, as no pressure once again that drives our weather. not much in the way of a breeze, but the breeze that we have in the north is coming from a chilly northerly direction. we are starting off on this cloudy note, some showers in wales, the midlands, the south—west, the south—east, they will tend to fade, the cloud breaks up and here we will see some sunshine. to the north of that, still areas of cloud, the heavier rain across scotland and northern ireland, to turning more profundity but continue across north—east scotland. a much drier

day for wimbledon than yesterday. a low risk of showers in the late morning into the afternoon, but then it will dry up, and tomorrow should be largely dry and feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine. through this evening, we have this rain in scotland tending more patchy as it moves southwards. in a lot of cloud around as well, and it'll be a fresher night than it was last night, so tomorrow, we start off with our weather front continuing to sink southwards, still producing some patchy rain, but watching what is happening on the near continent, will not affect us tomorrow but at night on friday. a cloudy day tomorrow, a weak front producing this patchy rain across the central swathe of the country, but to the north and south of that we have some sunshine, but a chilly northerly breeze, temperatures with 13 to about 22 celsius in the south. this is the system on friday that could clip the south—east, then it moves away, and on saturday, it is looking a little bit cooler but still some showers around. here's what we think

is going to happen, the far south—east will be likely to get the rain or some showers, it could move a little further north having said that. forthe a little further north having said that. for the rest of us, a lot of dry weather around, some sunshine, and also one or two showers. temperatures 14 celsius in the north to about 18 celsius in the south, 20 in glasgow. we began looking showery, and as for the match tonight in germany, we have thunderstorms through the course of today, but by eight o'clock it looks like they will be pushing away towards the east. thanks, carol. a brand new species of plant—eating dinosaur as big as an american bison has been discovered in the isle of wight thought to have lived 125 million years ago. named after the fossil hunter who found its 149 bones, this

comptonatus chasei, is thought to be the most complete dinosaur found in the uk in a century. we're joined now by professor phil manning from the university of manchester to tell us more about why this is such a special discovery. the isle of wight is one of those incredible hotspots for finding dinosaurs, especially from the lower cretaceous, a period of time when dinosaurs were abundant in what is now the isle of wight. it is so bizarre, in the last five or six years, so many new dinosaurs being found from this i and this new genus in species as to the mix. so basically, all the kids out there will have to learn another dinosaur name. ,, ., , ~ ., . name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, i name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, |think— name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, i think you _ name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, i think you should - name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, i think you should have - name. shall be like you pronounce it? no, i think you should have a i it? no, i think you should have a to. -- it? no, i think you should have a go- -- shall— it? no, i think you should have a go- -- shall we _ it? no, i think you should have a go. -- shall we let _ it? no, i think you should have a go. -- shall we let you? -

it could have been the male doing it as well, so it is really hard to diagnose whether you're dealing with male or female dinosaurs. but for me, the most exciting thing about this as you have got another piece in this phenomenaljigsaw of the evolution of life on earth, which has just been dropped into place. hasjust been dropped into place. so we have a little bit more information to understand about this animal on the isle of wight. stand information to understand about this animal on the isle of wight. fight! a animal on the isle of wight. and a but ofiokes _ animal on the isle of wight. and a but ofiokes or— animal on the isle of wight. and a but ofjokes or you _ animal on the isle of wight. and a but of jokes or you have _ animal on the isle of wight. and a but of jokes or you have brought i animal on the isle of wight. and a | but of jokes or you have brought in but ofjokes or you have brought in with you, heavy bit ofjigsaw, this is a relative of the one that has been found. is a relative of the one that has been found-— is a relative of the one that has been found. , , ., ., been found. this is the femur of an iguanodon. — been found. this is the femur of an iguanodon. the _ been found. this is the femur of an iguanodon, the thighbone. - been found. this is the femur of an iguanodon, the thighbone. this - been found. this is the femur of an iguanodon, the thighbone. this is i iguanodon, the thighbone. this is why i have so much respect for the collectors on the isle of wight, people who go out in all weather: these dinosaur bones of the beach, from the cliffs. it is really hard work. this was about 50 or 60 lb. can we hold that? don't put it on the glass table. the can we hold that? don't put it on the glass table.—

the 75th nato summit, making what he calls a cast iron commitment to increase defence spending. president biden welcomed leaders with a forceful speech, declaring the military alliance "more powerful than ever". we are ready, and we are willing, we are able to deter aggression and defend every inch of nato territory across every domain. land, air, sea, cyberand space. the countdown is on to england's euros semifinal against the netherlands. are you ready, can you handle it? england fans never stay ahead as we countdown towards kick off here in dortmund tonight —— from her face and never stay ahead. england knowing they will face spain in the final if they can get there.

the prime minister has arrived in washington for the 75th annual summit of the nato defence alliance, where he will also hold talks with the us presidentjoe biden. ahead of his first overseas trip in the role, sir keir starmer said the uk had a cast iron commitment to spending 2.5% of national income on defence but stopped short of giving a timeline for the promise to be delivered. 0ur north america correspondent carl nasman reports. this summit, a tribute to history. yesterday's ceremony taking place in the very hall where the nato treaty was first signed 75 years ago. but the meeting isjust as much about looking forward. the host, us presidentjoe biden, touting the growing strength of the alliance and new shipments of air defences for ukraine in its war with russia. all of the allies knew, before this war putin thought nato would break. today nato is stronger than it has

ever been in its history. when this senseless war began, ukraine was a free country. today, it is still a free country. and the war will end with ukraine remaining a free and independent country. ukraine is top of the agenda, but for many world leaders, there's more at stake. sir keir starmer lands in washington for his first international appearance as prime minister, and his first ever meeting with president biden. he has been pressed on labour's defence budget committing to boosting defence spending to 2.5% of gdp, but without a specific timeline. today, tomorrow and the next day is all about standing together with our allies, discussing practically how we provide further support for ukraine, and send a very, very clear message to putin that we will stand against russian aggression wherever it is in the world. french president emmanuel macron

faces tougher questions. he has been one of ukraine's strongest backers but politically he is weakened with france potentially facing a hung parliament and the far right gaining seats. here in washington, president zelensky is hoping for more support to fend off attacks like this one in kyiv on monday. but he's also aware of the elephant in the room. together with america, the world is capable of doing the right things. when we all act strong enough, determined enough, and this must be our strategy, exactly this. and right now, with all the american power, that no putins can repel. the us presidential election looms over this alliance. donald trump has been sceptical of nato. president biden hopes to prove he is strong enough to keep his rival out of office. carl nasman, bbc news, washington.

0ur political editor chris mason travelled to washington with the prime minister and sent us this update. hello, welcome to washington dc. the prime minister, keir starmer, arriving here in the last few hours. he's getting some sleep ahead of this summit getting underway in a few hours' time. delegations arriving from around the world. quite a moment for keir starmer. a week ago, the election hadn't even happened. now he is here on the world stage. he's got the foreign secretary, david lammy, with him, the defence secretary as well, john healey there, trying to introduce themselves to as many of the uk's allies as they can in the next few days to set out who they're about and what the government is about. and then, of course, there is the focus on defence and security. nato is a defence alliance. that's what it's all about. it's its 75th anniversary summit. and there's a recognition from leaders here that the world has not been this dangerous for decades

and decades and decades. a realfocus, of course, on ukraine and indeed on the middle east. keir starmer saying that he wants to spend 2.5% of the uk's national income on defence. but, crucially, he is not attaching a timeframe to that. it is a promise without a deadline. and so some critics say it isn't quite solid enough. plenty, then, to come in the next few days. as i say, quite a moment for the new prime minister. chris for the new prime minister. mason in washington. the chris mason in washington. jon has the rest of the day's news, starting with the latest from the middle east. the hamas run health authority says at least 29 palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people. 0ur correspondent nick beake sent us this report from jerusalem.

we have heard from three eyewitnesses who have been talking to the bbc describing an horrific scene after this missile hit yesterday. just to give you the context, this was a school that was being used as a shelter for lots of families who had been moving from other places trying to seek safety. this missile hit without any warning whatsoever. local doctors are saying that at least 29 people have been killed, including women and children. the israeli army say that they are looking into reports of civilian casualties but say that what happened was they used in their words "a precision weapon" to target someone who they said was a hamas fighter who was involved in the october 7th attacks. it is worth noting, this is the fourth missile strike on schools in gaza in the past four days. in the previous three cases, the israeli authorities say they were targeting members

of hamas, whether that was hamas politicians or police officers, orfighters. all the while the fighting is raging, there are hopes that the talks that get going again today to try to find some kind of ceasefire in which some of those hostages would be released, there are hopes that they may be moving in the right direction but really both sides accusing the other of undermining the process. hamas is saying that the ongoing military operation means it is really difficult to do a deal, the prime minister here in israel benjamin netanyahu saying the fighting will not stop, the military operation won't stop until hamas has been completely destroyed. the problem with that is some opposition figures here but also some senior figures of the israeli military believe that that could be an impossible aim, trying to destroy hamas altogether, how do you do that? all the while these talks continue in doha and qatar today, and the hope is behind—the—scenes some progress is being made. if there is a breakthrough coming, there is no sign of it as of yet.

a new study suggests that the tax introduced on soft drinks has led to people consuming significantly less sugar. figures say that children were consuming five grams a day less a year after the so—called sugar tax payments for six years ago in bid to tackle growing cases of obesity. a new report suggests that saving money can help improve sleep. researchers at bristol university found that putting a monthly amount aside, no matter how small, helped people relax and be more optimistic for the future. the european space agency has launched its new ariane—six rocket on a demonstration mission out of french guiana. the new expendable rocket, which costjust under £3.5 billion to develop, is expected to be cheaper to operate. the agency described the launch as a historic day for europe.

the jury has been selected for the trial of the actor alec baldwin who has been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of a cinematographer. the actor seen here leaving court is pleading not guilty for the charges brought against him following the death of halyna hutchins who was killed by a bullet from a gun that alec baldwin was using in a scene on the set of the film rust in 2021. were you in the room when the lady was... i was the one holding the gun, yeah. 0k, all righty. this was the moment police arrived on the set of the western movie rust, after a scene had gone terribly wrong. alec baldwin was the actor on set that pulled the trigger. the pistol being used by alec baldwin had fired a live round, killing the cinematographer halyna hutchins. what's yourjob there with them? i'm the armourer, or at least i was. the mystery of how live rounds

ended up on the film set was revealed earlier this year. oh, my god. when the film's armourer, hannah gutierrez, stood trial for involuntary manslaughter. it was her responsibility to ensure weapons were safe. but she had mistakenly mixed up dummy rounds with real bullets. in recent court documents, alec baldwin said he's struggled to find acting work since the incident, and if found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, he could face 18 months injail. are you doing 0k? no, i'm not, actually. alec baldwin claims he never pulled the trigger, and his lawyers have tried to have the case dismissed. but prosecutors will argue in court today that he, too, did not follow safety protocols which could have prevented the cinematographer�*s death. emma vardy, bbc news, new mexico. 12 minutes past eight, we will be looking ahead to the football in a

the heavier rain across southern scotland or northern ireland and northern england tending to turn a more showery and patchy in nature through the day, but we could catch one or two showers coming out of the thicker cloud in wales. this evening and overnight, the rain in scotland starts to sink south, and it weakens, becoming more patchy in nature. a lot of cloud around, more of a northerly breeze and these are the temperatures, a fresher night than last night. as we go through tomorrow, a weak weather and producing patchy rain across central suedes of the country, cloud around but to the north and south, we have got temperatures 13 to 21. this time we would expect roughly 16 to 22 north to south. so a little below parfor north to south. so a little below par for some others. let's hope the only let's hope the only showers let's hope the only showers will let's hope the only showers will be let's hope the only showers will be bare showers when england score! is

this the year, is this the time? i am looking for your crossed fingers, hopefully! england's footballers will face the netherlands later in the second semi final of the euros, with the winners set to play spain on sunday. john is there for us this morning. how is the atmosphere, how are you feeling, how excited are you? it's going to be nerve—racking as it always is when england play in a major tournament but we are talking about a semi final and it doesn't get much bigger than that. hoping to make it to back—to—back european championship finals. the atmosphere will build today, we are expecting 30,000 england supporters to be here in dortmund ahead of the game, they will be vastly outnumbered by the netherlands support at around 70,000, they bring a huge amount of colour and energy and england will have to go up against that orange will notjust in the pitch but inside the stadium as well. the

question is can they keep the dream alive, at long last winning a big major trophy in the biggest tournament of all? the way they have played, who knows because it has not been straightforward for england at this tournament, as andy swiss reports. # 0h, saka, run it down the wing, saka! excited? but of course. england fans soaking up the atmosphere in dortmund, even enjoying a quick spot the ball competition. # can't start a fire without a spark! a euro semifinal beckons. so will it be another nail biter? oh, my gosh. it's the stuff of dreams. i'm here with my 16—year—old son, who's just finished his gcses so this is our summer holiday. i don't think you need to play well |to win this particular tournament, j and england is not playing well, so we'll see how that goes. - do you think they can go all the way? i do, i do, we are- definitely going to berlin. watched bellingham's overhead kick, watched the penalties, and now we're going to play better and win. come on! how confident are you feeling? ifeel confident, i really do feel confident.

believe in them, i think they're doing t'right things, playing t'right way. i think we've got it. we can win this, easy. well, getting this far has hardly been an easyjourney for england. but for their thousands of fans arriving here in dortmund, there is now one simple question. can they reach another euros final? gareth southgate's side haven't played their finest football so far in germany, but they know this is some opportunity. this is now the chance to make history, which we've enjoyed doing that. chance to get to the first final not held in england. first time england will have ever done that. so we're trying to break new ground. dumfries across the goal, it's an inviting ball, gakpo came in. the netherlands though should be their toughest test so far, they're seventh in the world rankings, just two places below england. here we go. but in their penalty shoot—out

win over switzerland, england showed their spirit here. can they now show their best when it really matters? england go through! andy swiss, bbc news, dortmund. and of course that is what the players will be hoping, that is what gareth southgate will be hoping for and the fans as well. luca is here, how confident are you feeling, how is it to be here watching and in the semifinals? it’s is it to be here watching and in the semifinals?— semifinals? it's very cool, it's my first tournament _ semifinals? it's very cool, it's my first tournament to _ semifinals? it's very cool, it's my first tournament to watch - semifinals? it's very cool, it's my| first tournament to watch england play, and i'm very excited and i hope and i think we can get across the line when we get to the final. feeling confident, levi, they're going to do it? i feeling confident, levi, they're going to do it?— feeling confident, levi, they're| going to do it?_ yeah, feeling confident, levi, they're i going to do it?_ yeah, i going to do it? i think so. yeah, i think so! we _ going to do it? i think so. yeah, i think so! we know _ going to do it? i think so. yeah, i think so! we know the _ going to do it? i think so. yeah, i j think so! we know the confidence going to do it? i think so. yeah, i i think so! we know the confidence is there but it is still going to be a nerve—racking day. the sun is out, positive, we are all feeling optimistic, thank you for now. remarkably three of tonight's england players all began their careers in the greater manchester town of stockport. phil foden, kobbie mainoo and cole palmer are three lions

fighting in the same pack, all of which with unwavering support from the locals. there must be something in the water here. and there's been plenty of that this week. these streets just south of manchester have produced not one, not two, but three lions. it's amazing, it's amazing. it's a weird feeling. it's like stockport's on like the face of the world, if anything. it's fantastic for stockport. it means that obviously it's - the right place to to grow up in. as lads they went to school within walking distance of one another and tonight phil foden, kobbie mainoo and cole palmer will play together in the euros. so tell me all about him. well, i can't really. jean has even got a personal connection to man city's foden. you know him, i mean, it's closer than the rest of us.

my grandson does go and babysit for them. so that's good. any gossip for me? no, not at all. does he shop here? i don't think so! foden joined reddish vulcans soccer school when he was seven, and his legend lives on today. go, foden! try the top corner. this is my 30th year with vulcans, and he's really the only one that has attained that level. and lots of boys have gone on to play for league clubs. but he was the one, even at six, seven, eight years of age, you just had a feeling that something was going to happen, you know. just up the road, man united's kobbie mainoo came back to his old school a few weeks ago. cheadle catholicjuniors will be cheering him on tonight. kobbie mainoo at my school,

i'mjust like, how? and i asked my friend to pinch me because i thought i was in a dream. i didn't think it was really happening. i'm obviously honoured to, like, be in the same school— as mainoo and he came here, j he wore the same shirt as us, he did the same work as us. it's just amazing. there could be another kobbie mainoo in our school, like, any of us. it's amazing how far he's come. come on, england! i feel that we're going to win this euros for the first time in ages. you reckon we're going to win the whole thing? yes, we are going to win it. what makes you so sure? cole palmer. yeah! you might be able to guess who went to school here. gatley primary has also gone euros crazy thanks to its old boy, now chelsea's cole palmer. we were looking back through our records and we've got his yearbook here, the class of 2013

and cole's entry here. and i think what's particularly powerful is the fact that cole had recognised at such a young age that his destination was to be a footballer, and he'd written that as part of his aims and ambitions in the yearbook. what i find really cool is that he'd played on these pitches that we play on as well. it makes feel passionate | about football, like since the euros i've been playing it a bit more _ it's like so inspirational, it's like i can do the same as him. what do you like about cole palmer? um, that even if he's not like on the starting line up, he still comes on and tries his best all the time — # sweet caroline, bah—bah—bah! tonight, bedtime will have to wait. they believe that this time england really can do it. if cole is watching this now, send him a message. what do you say to him? go on, cole! is that it? no. what else do you want to say? come on, england! cheering.

heathrow has been granted a high court injunction against potential environmental protesters on the site. the airport said it agreed aviation must decarbonise, but disrupting people's well—earned travel plans was not the way to reach net zero. last month, two members ofjust stop 0il were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after paint was sprayed on jets at stansted. a council in south london has said it will challenge the decision to move specialist children's cancer care away from st george's hospital in tooting. it was announced in march that pediatric cancer care for south london and the south—east would move to the evelina children's hospital. but wandsworth said it had "serious concerns," and will refer the decision to the new health secretary wes streeting. proposals have been set out to make camden high street

traffic—free and give the space over to pedestrians. the local council is planning to trial the changes for up to 18 months before deciding whether to make them permanent. an online consultation is open until the end of next month. this may sound like something straight out of sci—fi, butjust imagine attending school via a robot. a 12—year—old from twickenham is doing just that. howard was missing lessons due to his treatment for a rare form of cancer. so he was given a grant for an avatar which sits in class in his place. it's made a really big impact for someone like me, who cares about, like, their school. i can open the app and it can show me the classroom. so when i do that, the head starts flashing, so that notifies the teacher that i'm trying to answer or ask a question. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there are severe delays on the central line.

and severe delays on the elizabeth line. now onto the weather forecast. hello there. good morning. well, it's an improving day today. we have quite a cloudy start, a mild start as well. and there is the chance of a few showers still, but it does become drier and brighter as the day progresses, with some good spells of sunshine developing, but for the time being, still quite cloudy. still a few showers, quite a breezy day as well, but more in the way of sunny spells developing quite widely into the afternoon and temperatures reaching around 20—23 celsius. it is quite breezy this evening as well. some clear skies overnight, but we are expecting some cloud to drop down from the north as we head through the night by the early hours, but staying largely dry, and temperatures holding up at 11—13 celsius. but it will be less humid tonight, and then over the next day or two, we'll be keeping an eye on this frontal system that mayjust bring some outbreaks of rain for a time on friday, but thursday itself should be largely dry. there should be some good spells of sunshine around. still quite warm as well, temperatures reaching 22 celsius, but becoming a bit cooler for friday with a chance of some rain.

there's more on our website including the new futuristic buses heading to south london very soon. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. bye— bye. hello. this is breakfast withjon kay and sarah campbell. more than 60 veterans and service personnel will make up the team representing the uk at next year's invictus games in vancouver. the event, which was founded by prince harry ten years ago, will be the first to feature winter sports. breakfast'sjohn maguire is with some of the team. john. you are inside a snow dome. could not tuite you are inside a snow dome. could not quite figure _ you are inside a snow dome. could not quite figure out _ you are inside a snow dome. could not quite figure out whether - you are inside a snow dome. could not quite figure out whether it - you are inside a snow dome. (11min. not quite figure out whether it was warmer inside or outside considering it is the middle ofjuly, we are at

the snow zone in milton keynes. it is an event that has evolved over the years, prince harry very much at the years, prince harry very much at the forefront of it and sent messages of congratulations to the team this morning. 64 people will go part to vancouver to take part in all sorts of different events, but including snow sports for the first time. why does it mean so much to the competitors who take part? mark's story is extraordinary, a soldier who lost his sight, was then diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and tragically, a few years later, his son died by suicide, but what mark does do as he gets a lot of solace from the sport, from the competition element, getting out and

about, it means a lot to him. we will talk to him and just a second but here is his story. and drive. hold that edge, hold that edge. left and right. hold that edge and drive. ultimately, you have to have 100% trust in your guide, but it's the best experience you can get i feel in sport as a visually impaired person. just the freedom of the mountain. your guide is in an ear via bluetooth? tells me everything i need to know. so snow conditions, snow under skis, even tells me the weather forecast. mark served in the army for 12 years. it was in 2011, having suffered headaches and eye pain, that he suddenly lost his sight. but the invictus games gave him a new goal. i fancied myself as a good swimmer. with no winter sports, mark took to the pool, and in four events achieved two personal bests.

how was it competing in those games? oh, my god, it was absolutely out of this world. yeah. i mean, it was in florida, it was awesome. it was like going back into the military, which was great. you ended up sitting next to someone quite notable. just talk us through that. prince harryjust come in, perched down next to us. and as he stood up to leave, i thought i'd stand up as well. and then we had a little chat. he's so down to earth. it was great. he actually took the time to listen. hope you've enjoyed this little channel update and i hope you like my background. it's pretty cool. this is when we went to invictus. mark's young son, sam, was a keen supporter. i think sam was in his awe. i think it was... loved it, didn't he? yeah. thank you guys for watching this video and i'll see you in my next one. peace. a year later, aged just 14, sam took his own life. it was heartbreaking.

a doctor called me, told me that sam had been in an accident. i thought, he's fallen off his bike or, you know. then i got a call from a nurse saying that sam had died. he was being bullied at school. quite a bit, but we thought we'd got on top of that. um... and he was always so happy. always smiling. we'd never even imagined anything was going to happen. if you're approached by somebody that's saying these sorts of things, that's what they're going to do, self—harm or going to take their own life, is not to withhold the secret, but actually to speak up. bright, talented. anything a mum would want from a son. he was just amazing. yeah. completely lost without him. you stopped competing for a while, understandably. when and why did you decide to go back to competing and appear in these games next year?

i fell out with a love of sport completely following sam. i wasn't in the right space, and eventually, you said just do it, i said i'm just going to go and try, put my skis back on and just like i'd never been away. together we're strong. and when an obstacle comes across, well, there's a wall in front of us, what do you do? do you go around it, do you go through it, do you go over it? you just knock it down and keep going. i'm just super excited about next year. yeah, i bet. super excited. paul hawkins, bbc news. we arejust going we are just going to watch mark ski down the slope here. neal is his

called to a propertyjust before 7.00 last night, they say that officers attended alongside colleagues from the east of england ambulance service. they found three women with serious injuries, and said sadly, despite their best efforts, those women, believed to be deleted, died a short time later at the scene. police also say that they have been searching throughout the night for 26 and old kyle clifford the enfield area is wanted in connection with the incident —— 26—year—old. 0nce connection with the incident —— 26—year—old. once again, detectives in hertfordshire investigating a triple murder. thank you forjoining us this morning. the time is 8.45. it's been at the centre of both royal and national life for more than 150 years, and now visitors to buckingham palace will soon be able to see even more of its treasures than ever before.

the opening of the newly restored east wing will showcase the famous balcony, alongside priceless artworks and antiques from the royal collection. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher has been given a preview. buckingham palace. a focal point for royal celebrations. marriages. jubilees with their very loud fly—pasts. and coronations. now more of the palace will be open to the public than ever before, and we've been given a sneak peek at what visitors will be able to see. the yellow drawing room mixes eastern and western antiques and has towering porcelain pagodas. so this is very exciting. the first time the east wing has been opened to the public. it is. i mean, we obviously open the state rooms

each year to visitors, but this has been an added extra, which is fully supported by the king. and as part of our charitable aims, the royal collection trust open up these rooms to the public. so i hope they'll really enjoy seeing them. we've certainly enjoyed preparing them. 0bviously, you've been involved in this restoration work. do you have a favourite piece that is going to be shown to people? it's quite a difficult question because i think it depends on the day, because there are so many fantastic objects. i think the kylin clock on the mantelpiece is definitely one of my favourites, and this was bought by george iv for the royal pavilion, and it's a fusion of sort of eastern and western art. this priceless art on display, some that's never been seen by the public before, and jonathan yeo's new portrait of the king. this is a very special corridor. it's called the principal corridor, and i'm literally walking in the footsteps of generations of the royal family, because they have to go down here to get to the balcony to make

those memorable appearances. let's take you in there now. those doors lead out to what is the most famous balcony in the world. and if you glimpse through those curtains, you'll be able to see the view the royal family have when they step out and wave to the crowds. however, going onto the balcony is not part of the public tour. so you'll have to practice your royal wave from behind the window. charlotte gallagher, bbc news, buckingham palace. just to repeat, you are not actually allowed out onto the balcony. big day for the football, but also for cricket. let's go to at lord's cricket ground, and the mic has a very special guest coming up. ——

mike has. 0ne very special guest coming up. —— mike has. one of very special guest coming up. —— mike has. 0ne ofjames anderson's 700 test match victims. the scene is set forjames anderson's last test match for england, the sun is shining, the members pavilion in the distance is already filling up, some of been queueing since midnight to get front of house seats for that moment thatjames get front of house seats for that moment that james anderson get front of house seats for that moment thatjames anderson runs down the steps of the slope out onto the wicket for his first day, a real historic occasion when you consider it his 21 years, and he has been speaking to jonathan it his 21 years, and he has been speaking tojonathan agnew it his 21 years, and he has been speaking to jonathan agnew ahead it his 21 years, and he has been speaking tojonathan agnew ahead of this match. a lot of people have always told me that you'd know when the time

is right, like stuart, um, alistair cook, you know, people close to me that have retired have always sort of known when the right time to go is. um, i don't know if that would ever, ever come for me, i don't know. it could have been one of those things where i did need a tap on the shoulder to say, um, we want to go in a different direction. what mementos you've got at home? i've got probably all of my fifer balls from both lancashire and england and one—day cricket. i won't have stumps on my staircase like alastair cook. um, but it's nice to, you know, i have in the last couple of months, even just looking at old caps and, um, old photos even of, you know, test victories in india, in australia and things like that, people i've played with, and remembering back to good times is, um, has been really special. welcome to old age. can you pinpoint one? can you pinpoint something out of this immense career? just something, a moment? yeah. oh, gosh. it's hard to say one out of so many games, but i feel like i got ten

at trent bridge in 2013, and that's probably the most complete performance that i've played in an england shirt. 0h! just everything felt good from ball one. ijust felt like i could get every single one of their players out. um, you know, there's always one or two players and maybe you think, "i'm not getting him out today," but that day, ifelt like i was invincible. you don't seem a very emotional fella to me, jimmy, but you'll have a lump when you're walking out there? guards of honour and all that sort of business going on. you braced for that? i'm sure at some point there'll be emotion there, but i think i don't want it to come too early, so i'm trying to block it out as much as possible. i don't want to be at the end of my mark bawling my eyes out. we don't want you to do that. no—one wants to see that.

let's speak to another legend of the sport from the west indies, brian lara, who took your wicked early on in his career, one of the best battles of all time, yet young jamie ellis and taking your wicket in a test match. what do you remember of the early anderson? ihe test match. what do you remember of the early anderson?— the early anderson? he was fresh, of course, and — the early anderson? he was fresh, of course, and very _ the early anderson? he was fresh, of course, and very talented, _ course, and very talented, but somebody who i felt was probably one of the best bowlers i have ever faced. i think it was the last english bowler to get me out, my last test at the oval against england, and it was a little bit of an inswinger that i hit to mid—on, and it'sjust hit an inswinger that i hit to mid—on, and it's just hit the pitch straight and it's just hit the pitch straight and took my edge. but i think you had to be a decent batter to edge it. , , ., ~ ., ., had to be a decent batter to edge it. did you think then, wow, who is this tu ? it. did you think then, wow, who is this guy? he _ it. did you think then, wow, who is this guy? he will— it. did you think then, wow, who is this guy? he will have _ it. did you think then, wow, who is this guy? he will have a _ it. did you think then, wow, who is this guy? he will have a long - this guy? he will have a long career. flit this guy? he will have a long career. .., , this guy? he will have a long career. , ., , career. of course not, but he obviously _ career. of course not, but he obviously had _ career. of course not, but he obviously had the _ career. of course not, but he obviously had the goods, - career. of course not, but hej

ready, or perhaps you are going on safari. why am i getting all this grief for my suit this morning? i need a trilby or a panama hat or something as well. i wish i was there, it will be quite a day. it is 8.55, there has been a lot of sport on the programme today, but tonight there will be an unusual musical number. the hip—hop trio cypress hill will perform with the london symphony orchestra. and it's a collaboration that started as a joke in the simpsons, as colin paterson explains. '905 hip—hop act cypress hill and the london symphony orchestra, a collaboration almost 30 years in the making... come on, people, somebody ordered the london symphony orchestra. possibly while high. cypress hill, i'm looking in your direction. ..back in 1996, when an episode of the simpsons featured a joke where cypress hill believed they'd mistakenly booked the lso

whilst under the influence. uh, yeah. yeah, we think we did. uh, do you know, insane in the brain? we mostly know classical, but we could give it a shot. tonight, thatjoke becomes a reality at the royal albert hall. you know, it's been something that we've talked about for many years since the simpsons episode first aired, and it's finally coming to light. how did it come about? it didn't actually start to come to life till a tweet happened. in 2017, the band reminded people about the episode on their social media, and the london symphony orchestra replied. and we started speaking with them back and forth. "how can we put this together?" and they seemed to be interested about it, so we just kept carrying on the conversation. fortunately, you know, they were available and interested and willing to do it as well. so it took a few years,

but we finally got it. # insane in the membrane # insane in the brain...# cypress hill were the first rap group to be given a star on the hollywood walk of fame, and tonight's show will feature their black sunday album being played in its entirety. it sold more than three million copies in the us, and spent a whole year on the uk charts. and the london symphony orchestra are very excited they're getting to play with them. i hope people willjust have a great time. i hope it will bring some nostalgia to people who might be coming, because they actually saw the episode at the time and thought, "what a funny thing to happen." but i also hope it brings people's attention to the lso. is this the sweariest gig in the lso history? um, yes, i think it's... potentially it is. this is far from the first time the simpsons has made an accurate prediction

about the future. an episode in 2000 famously said donald trump would become president 16 years before he did. as you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from president trump. and as for cypress hill, they really feel tonight's show has been their destiny. we salute the simpsons, man, because if they had not written that episode, we probably wouldn't be doing this. # just for a second # don't get me wrong, it's not a new method...# cypress hill and the lso, an idea that's truly insane in the brain, but is now a reality. colin patterson, bbc news. that will be going round our heads all day long. stay with us, headlines coming up.
