it. to stop it. rainy days and summer holidays do not mix, so we have stepped inside manchester museum to talk about how you can find the fun this summer without the fear of breaking the bank. ba nk. lots of bank. lots of heavy rain around. but it is getting better. more sunshine later, a few showers, and later this week someone. —— some warmth. good morning. it's tuesday, the 16th ofjuly. our main story. relatives of the missing tourist jay slater are waiting to find out if a body found on tenerife is his. it's almost a month since the 19—year—old, from lancashire, disappeared after attending a music festival. spanish police say all the evidence suggests the body is his, but formal identification is yet to take place. joe inwood has the latest. it was in the deep ravines near the last known location of jay slater, that search and rescue teams found human remains,
6:01 am
along with the missing 19—year—old's clothes and possessions. the body has not yet been formally identified, but local authorities are confident they have found jay slater. in his hometown of oswaldtwistle, where blue ribbons have become a sign of support, the news was met with sadness. it's a shame and this is bad. you know, everyone wants him home. everyone wants an answer, don't they? i think it's hit the community hard around here because obviously he's a local lad and he's well known. i feel sorry for the family for going through this. i know every effort, people going over, especially our local fire service going over to find him, it must have hit, it's hit hard. jay slater was last seen leaving an airbnb in the north of tenerife, having spent the night partying with friends. he called one of them as he set out, to say he was about to begin the a0 kilometre walk home, but his mobile was about to die. that was the last time
6:02 am
anyone heard from him. local authorities began a major search operation in very difficult terrain. but it wasn't just the rugged landscape that made theirjob difficult. there was huge public interest, with conspiracy theories springing up online. the spanish police had said they were calling off the search, but it seems it continued away from the public eye. they are now telling us that this special mountain search and rescue section of the guardia civil continued to search, kept up that search, and they obviously were focusing very much on the zone around which jay which initially was known to have been before he went missing, because the body, if it is that of jay slater, was found very, very near to the village of masca, where we know he was on the morning of monday, june the 17th. jay slater�*s family have spoken of the living hell they have gone through. if confirmed, the discovery of his body may not ease their pain, but it will give them some closure. joe inwood, bbc news.

we will be following that issue, that story, on the programme this morning, speaking to our correspondentjohnny humphreys, who has been covering it since the start. he is live on tenerife. what else do we need to know this morning? nina has some extraordinary images from american overnight. we do indeed. donald trump has made his first public appearance since since surviving an assassination attempt on saturday. the former president received wild applause when he arrived at the republican national convention in milwaukee, where he was officially named as the party's candidate for the presidential election. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. please welcome the next president of the united states, donald jay trump. with the visible sign of an

6:07 am
much sewn up. it is likely he will win it. he could have picked a candidate that appealed to more moderate voters, or a candidate that appealed to ethnic minority voters. certainly picking marco rubio to make inroads with the spanish community. but in the end he has chosen somebody who is young, and also stands firmly. on the same issues that mr trump does as well. he is a real attack dog for donald trump. and do so, jd vance is someone that has had this huge transformation. and he has now gone from not being a trump fan, to being an always trump mikefaint. a review of the young offenders institution, hmp feltham a, in west london, has found it has higher levels of violence than any adult prison in england and wales. the hm inspectorate of prison said incidents of disorder had tripled since the last inspection of the facility two years ago.
6:08 am
the ministry ofjustice said the criminaljustice system was in crisis but staff were making every effort to drive improvements. the prime minister, sir keir starmer, has launched what the government is calling a root and branch review of the armed forces. it says the strategic defence review is in recognition of the urgency of the threats facing the uk. it's due to deliver its findings in the first half of next year. the defence secretary, john healey, will oversee the review, which will be led by one of his predecessors, lord robertson, who was secretary general of nato. he has warned of the deadly quartet of china, russia, iran and north korea. the number of travel insurance complaints increased by nearly a fifth in the last financial year. the financial ombudsman said that, in the past decade, the level of unhappiness with the industry has only been higher during the covid i9 pandemic. final preparations are being made for the state opening of parliament, which takes place tomorrow when king charles will deliver a speech
6:09 am
outlining the legislation. henry zeffman can bring us more from this. a clear indication we will get tomorrow of the government's intentions. do we think we will learn anything new? irate intentions. do we think we will learn anything new?— intentions. do we think we will learn anything new? we have 'ust had a lona learn anything new? we have 'ust had a long general— learn anything new? we have 'ust had a long general election i learn anything new? we have just had a long general election campaign i learn anything new? we have just had a long general election campaign in i a long general election campaign in which sir keir starmer has tried to tell the country what he is all about. and before that he was leader of the labour party for four years in opposition trying to tell people what he is all about. what a king's speech is about priorities. it tells us what this new government wants to write into law and what it wants to write into law and what it wants to write into law first, in its first year or so in government. actually, some of that stuff will be laws that the previous government, the conservative government, were working on, but didn't get onto the statute books into law fast enough before the general election was called. so that will be things like
6:10 am
increased protections for tenants, something the conservatives promised for some time. i would expect labour to pick up that backdown. i think again we will see what has come to be known as martyn�*s law. that was named after one of the victims of the manchester arena bombing. that would strengthen security or public events and venues, introduce new counter extremism measures online. we will probably see new moves towards the football regulator that the previous government promised. but the bulk of this king's speech, the labour government agenda, will be distinctively this labour government's. we will see, for example, a railways bill allowing labour to take the network back at the public ownership as franchises expire. a crime bill which will do varies things, including making spiking drinks expensive fence. we
6:11 am
are expecting a lone fiscal responsibility. something the new chancellor has put at the heart of her approach. that would make it a legal requirement for the office for budget responsibility to provide forecasts in advance of budgets. it sounds a bit technical but that is what liz truss's mini budget didn't do. there are 35 laws. some of them will be surprises. but you only get one chance to hit the ground running in government. and this is keir starmer�*s. we find out tomorrow. thank you. the czech billionaire hoping to take over royal mail says he is committed to delivering letters to every part of the uk six days a week, but warns that not all demands by unions can be met. daniel kretinsky has made a bid for the firm. he has spoken to simon jack. things have changed a bit in the 500 years since royal mail was
6:12 am
founded by henry viii. this is the man who wants to be the new owner, czech billionaire daniel kretinsky. so why should he be trusted with such an historic and important asset? of course, in a way you can be paralysed by the great responsibility that comes from such a tradition, from such a name, from the importance of, uh, of the company. but the answer for me was simple, because i truly believe that we can help now, and that we can contribute and we can play our little role, which can, however, be very important in the history of royal mail. royal mail is losing money, letter volumes are declining, and its market share in the profitable parcels business has plummeted. mr kretinsky has committed in writing to keep the one—price—goes—anywhere universal service for at least five years, but also made this personal promise. as long as i'm alive, i completely exclude this, and i'm sure that anybody who would be my successor would absolutely understand this. so why not put that in writing?
6:13 am
because there are two different things. one thing is what is clearly your commitment, and i say this as an absolutely clear, unconditional commitment — royal mail is going to be the provider of universal service obligation in the uk, unconditionally, and i would say forever. unions have grave misgivings about the proposed deal. i can't think of any other country in the world that would just hand over its entire postal service to an overseas equity investor. we believe that there needs to be a different answer that gives workers and customers a greater say over the future direction of the company. mr kretinsky has guaranteed no compulsory redundancies, but only until next year. but he insists his plan can help secure jobs and a brighter future. unions do understand as well that we are on the same ship, and that we need this ship to be successful. and if we are there, we don't have any real problems to deal with, because the sky is blue and it's blue for everybody. the unions can't stop this deal, but the government can, and will have the last
6:14 am
word later this year. simon jack, bbc news. nearly quarter past six. the king and queen will continue their first visit to the channel islands today, where a rare breed of guernsey goat will be given a royal title. stickers for etiquette will be hoping the animals display a little more decorum than thesejersey cows. two of them became very friendly over the visit, to the amusement of the queen, who was quick to compose herself wildly keen —— king appeared to be unaware of what happened. he walked away! he realised what the shot was going to be in the papers and made a hasty retreat. she had a little giggle, the queen. matt has got the weather in the studio. that picture tells a story for all of us.
6:15 am
it is one of those start to be there for some. it is one of those start to be there forsome. not it is one of those start to be there for some. not a great day for dog walking but things will get better. do you promise?— walking but things will get better. do you promise? yes. when? walking but things will get better. do you promise?- when?- walking but things will get better. do you promise?- when? do you promise? yes. when? i didn't sa when! do you promise? yes. when? i didn't say when! a — do you promise? yes. when? i didn't say when! a very _ do you promise? yes. when? i didn't say when! a very soggy _ do you promise? yes. when? i didn't say when! a very soggy scene - do you promise? yes. when? i didn't say when! a very soggy scene in i say when! a very soggy scene in doncaster. it has been raining most of the night. we have seen a month's worth of rain fall in parts of the midlands. it is getting better story. writer conditions will develop. some are starting with the sunshine. there will be a few heavy and may be sundry showers later. let me show you where the most persistent rain is. it is this band extending toward yorkshire, the north west midlands, merseyside. either side of it, a few spots of rain in scotland. heavier showers rolling along the west coast. most of you will get away with it this morning. as things brighten up we will see some showers develop. some
6:16 am
will see some showers develop. some will be heavy and thundery later. the best of the afternoon whether likely to be in the west. the highest of the temperatures here as well, 20 to 21 degrees. for the evening rush hour, be on guard across parts of eastern scotland down into northern england of some quite intense and thundery showers. not everybody will see them. where those showers come through there will be the risk of minor flooding. further south, showers with more breeze will push through quicker. the showers will largely fade through the night and into tomorrow morning. a few mist and fog patches around. drierand brighterstart around. drier and brighter start tomorrow for many. around. drierand brighterstart tomorrow for many. fresher than this morning. more dry weather tomorrow. many will stay dry throughout and through the rest of the week in the south and east it will get warmer too. more details later. . �* , too. more details later. . �*, more details later. that's looking all ri . ht. it's all relative, to be honest. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph leads on republican nominee donald trump's
6:17 am
decision to pick ohio senatorjd vance as his running mate. the paper describes mr vance as a "firebrand", and one of trump's "fiercest supporters". although we have been hearing this morning that is quite recent. he was a fierce critic in the past. the times reports on new polling for the broadsheet by yougov that shows mr trump leading president biden in all seven battleground states ahead of november's election. the paper says the polling was carried out before the assassination attempt against mr trump on saturday, and that his lead is expected to widen in the aftermath of the shooting. mr trump and uk prime minister sir keir starmer have started building their new "special relationship", according to the i. the paper says it was sir keir�*s idea to call trump after the assassination attempt, and that he overruled his advisers, who suggested sending a note instead. the paper says the pair spoke for ten minutes, and that trump is "eager to build a strong working relationship" with sir keir. the express leads with the news that a body has been found in the search for missing british teenager jay slater in tenerife. it carries an image from what it
6:18 am
describes as "dramatic footage" that shows rescue workers using a helicopter to reach the ravine where the body was discovered. in18 in 18 minutes past six. matt was giving us the weather a short time ago. all that rain has been good at least for the garden. lots of gardens in full bloom. but not every plant is welcome. we have been invaded here. we have, by bamboo. bamboo — which was fashionable in uk gardens during the noughties — is now causing huge damage to homes and buildings as it matures and runs wild. sophie long has been looking into what some are calling the new japanese knotweed. if you want an example ofjust how determined and damaging bamboo can be, look no further. this shot up inside a home in hampshire. further inspection revealed what lay beneath — a tangled mess of running bamboo had taken over the entire area under the ground floor, resulting in repairs costing more than £100,000. and the bamboo wasn't even
6:19 am
planted in their garden, but their neighbours'. yeah, so if you come and look through here, you can see that the bamboo has completely taken over. and you can see nothing else is growing in there at all. emily helps others prevent such devastating consequences and keep things under control. this now towering bamboo forest started as a few pot plants. now it's pushing through the fence, burrowing under the patio and decking, before emerging and totally taking over the garden next door. when people plant invasive bamboos, this is usually what happens. they don't realise that that's what's going to happen, but quite quickly they fall into the trap of not maintaining that bamboo, and then it's gone before they've even realised. the bamboo shoots actually push up with a huge amount of force. so although the decking is old, it's come all the way through the membrane, and you can see beneath the decking
6:20 am
all of those runners travelling along. so the decking really didn't stand a chance. invasive plant experts like emily have seen a massive increase in callouts over the last few years, as the plants that soared in popularity two decades ago, reach maturity and wreak havoc, wiping the smiles from those who once enjoyed their outdoor spaces. so what needs to happen in order to make this usable as a garden again? yeah. so, essentially all of the decking and patio would need to be removed and ta ken away. and then all of the runners can then be traced through the ground, excavated, taken away. and then, in order to stop the encroachment from occurring again into what's now being cleaned, we'd need to dig in a root barrier. but all that, of course, will cost a considerable amount of money. money that the tenant who rents this property from a housing association doesn't have. we've got it all along the wall here. next up for emily is a privately owned property
6:21 am
in another part of plymouth. rob and maria moved here a year ago. as they cut back the overgrown garden, their bamboo was revealed. so bamboo is split into two different growing types — clumping and running. and the running bamboos, if you have an invasive variety, tend to spread far beyond the confines of the original planting area. so whilst people plant it and think it looks good for a short amount of time, they quickly come to realise that it gets into all of the other places that it doesn't want. i mean, here is a prime example of it having taken over other shrubs and outcompeted them, essentially. they've tried to clear it, but it keeps popping up. it looks like it's punctured the pond, and is now getting dangerously close to the wall, and their neighbour's garden. but having it removed will cost several thousand. yeah, i think it's going to be, you know, a proper toolsjob rather than a sort of pitchfork and a shovel. it's going to be excavators and everything else. so, um, frustrated.
6:22 am
but i think we need to do it. it's not going to go away. it's not something you canjust sort of ignore in the corner. i don't want it causing further damage to the pond or the wall or anything else around there. so, yeah, it's bite the bullet, i'm afraid. is there any benefit to a running bamboo? i couldn't think of one! i would suggest if you have to have bamboo in your garden, if it's really what you want, choose a clumping variety and keep it in a pot. it may look nice, but you should think twice, because it might pop up elsewhere. sophie long, bbc news, plymouth. terrifying. little shop of horrors territory. the cost of putting it right is immense. imagine having that a chat with your neighbour. yes, i want a grand, please. that a chat with your neighbour. yes, iwant a grand, please. if that a chat with your neighbour. yes, i want a grand, please. if you have been affected by this, we would love to hear your stories, maybe see
6:23 am
some pictures if you have got some. if you have any tips as well. it is always the opposite issue in my house. lots of my plants just die. i prefer that to this. later this morning we'll be speaking to the tv gardener diarmuid gavin, who'll have some tips on which types of bamboo to avoid — and what to do if you have an invasive species in your garden. a p pa re ntly apparently there are a different species of bamboo, some are all right, others are the risky ones. coming up to 25 past six. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin is out and about this morning, seeking answers to an extremely urgent question for many families. morning, jayne. we both know this well. what on earth do you do when it is tipping down outside, as it is right now, and the summer holidays are almost
6:24 am
upon us, what do you do with the kids when finances are tight? it is like night at the museum around here. i have been given free reign to wander around. let me introduced as red, magnificent, 3000 years old. she has been here in manchester museum about —— around lots of conversations about how you ethically show bodies in museums. at one time she would have been out on display for all to see, really visible. at the moment though because of these conversations here she is kind of cocooned beneath her sarcophagus. you can see her still but it is a bit more respectfully done. there she is. and you can see her toes they arejust done. there she is. and you can see her toes they are just tipping out at the bottom. all were more respectful than it used to be. turn around and come and meet mode. i don't know if you have heard of bellevue racetrack. it is massive in manchester back in the 50s and 605. maud manchester back in the 505 and 605. maud wa5 manchester back in the 505 and 605. maud was on display here. she was their pride exhibit. she was brought
6:25 am
overfrom dresdenjust their pride exhibit. she was brought over from dresden just before the war began. and here she lived for about 13 years in bellevue. the kids loved coming to see her. and then of course she became part of the exhibition at manchester museum. we are here to talk about how you can keep the kids entertained. it is great coming to a place like this when you can without having to break the bank. but we are looking for youridea5 the bank. but we are looking for your ideas this morning. finances are tight foran your ideas this morning. finances are tight for an awful lot of people. what is your top tip for a fantastic day out? we will have more later. now it's time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. a young offenders' institution in west london has the highest levels of violence of any prison in england and wales, an inspection has found. feltham young offenders' in5titure
6:26 am
hold5 around 80 teenagers aged between 15 and 18. the review, by his majesty's inspectorate of prisons in march, found disorder had tripled since the last inspection two years ago with self—harm and levels of violence on the rise. st mary's hospital in paddington is one of the first in the country to carry out a new obe5ity procedure that doesn't require surgery and is now available on the nhs. the endoscopic sleeve gastropla5ty involves passing a tube through the patient�*s mouth into the their stomach then stitching together parts of the stomach to reduce its size by 70 to 80%. it's done under general anaesthetic and patients are able to go home the same day. yves was the first to have the procedure at st mary's. i feel absolutely fantastic. i am not sore or anything. i feel much more alive. the idea of this procedure
6:27 am
being minimally invasive and very safe safety profile in terms of potential complications that can arise from it, makes it very attractive to a lot of patients. environmental campaigners have warned sadiq khan he must take "urgent action" to cut carbon emissions and improve public transport in the capital. a report by healthy streets, a coalition of groups lobbying for a greener transport system, says the london mayor is on course to miss several targets set out in his own transport strategy. in response, a spokesman at city hall said more cycle journeys are being made each day with new pedestrian crossings and hundreds of school streets in place across the capital. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning aprt from the piccadilly line which is part—suspended, and there's also a part closure on the overground. now, on to the weather with kate. good morning. well, yesterday evening's relentless rain has lifted away northwards, so it's a drier start this morning. it's cloudy, yes. we'll get some patchy rain but also some brighter spells
6:28 am
and showers developing later. now, you can see the cloud this morning. the patchy rain still within it but it'll gradually start to clear. the cloud thins a little, we'll get a few breaks in it, so glimpses of sunshine, which could spark off some showers later, but the temperature getting up to 21 celsius. just feeling a little warmer in those brief glimpses of sunshine. then anything remaining will clear away overnight. sky clears, temperature drops down to around 10 celsius, but it leads the way to a bright start on wednesday. high pressure builds tomorrow — it settles down. lots of sunshine around, a little bit of patchy cloud through the middle part of the day, but the temperature in these dry conditions getting up to around 21 celsius. so feeling just that little bit warmer. and this is going to stay the same for thursday and through friday. lots of sunshine around. and in fact the temperature is warming up. we could see the high 205 on friday. that's it. back tojon and nina.
6:29 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. police on the spanish island of tenerife say a body has been found in the search for the missing british teenager, jay slater. he was last seen nearly a month ago after he travelled to tenerife with a friend to attend the nrg music festival in the tourist hotspot of playa de las americas. on monday 17thjune, jay went with two men he'd met at the festival to an airbnb in the north west of the island, near the mountainous rural de teno park area. the next morning, jay called a friend saying he was heading back to his own accommodation — around 25 miles away — but his phone battery was about to run out
6:30 am
and he needed water. yesterday, 29 days afterjay was last seen, spanish police released a statement saying it had discovered human remains near where jay disappeared. we'rejoined now by jonny humphries, the bbc journalist who has been following the case, from tenerife. morning to you. we know the officials ground search stopped 12 days afterjay went missing. do we know how this discovery was made? the please haven't made that clear. the please haven't made that clear. the general search of the area stopped 12 days afterj was last seen. whether the spanish police have based this discovery on a specific piece of information or some sort of technological advance in determining where he has fallen,
6:31 am
we do not know yet. sunday evening, a specialist voluntary organisation based in the netherlands were due to fly out to tenerife to draw the search. a team of six people and four dogs. whether they were involved in that discovery or whether it was the work of the spanish authorities is not clear yet. it does seem jay was banned near to where his phone was last pinged. it gives a sense of how difficult the terrain is. that area has been searched. the fact it has taken 29 days to locate what seems to be his remains involving the difficulty in searching his terrain. no ideas of what exactly happened to jdy- no ideas of what exactly happened to ja . . no ideas of what exactly happened to ja . , , ., .,

6:35 am
if sweden were to win because the lionesses would enter the play—offs instead. if sweden were to win, the lionesses would finish third in the group and enter the play—offs instead. we're never playing a match to draw. we play a match to win. and even, like... what ijust said, when we win the game, we might even top the group too. and of course we're dependant on france and everyone expects france to win. but you never know what happens in football. so we're approaching this game to win, and then we'll see what happens in the game, what we need to do. scotland take on serbia at firhill later. they've already booked their place in the qualifying play—offs but there's still an incentive to finish top of the group. these games also affect the women's nations league. of that competition with a win. wales also go into their final qualifier top of the group. and they're playing kosovo — a team who have lost all five games so far. so a point in llanelli this evening

will take them into the top tier of the nations league too, while also helping their playoff draw for euro 2025. northern ireland need a win against bosnia to make sure of second place, which would improve their draw for the playoffs in october. they go into the game at windsor park level on points with their opponents. well, this is what all those teams are playing for — the chance to taste what england's women did last time out. but the men couldn't quite. spanish success was celebrated in madrid last night. the euros—winning team had thousands to greet them after they'd also met the king and the prime minister. an open—top bus ride took them through the city, as spain paraded a trophy they've now won a record four times. here's another revered sporting trophy, which has been in the clutches of one man for 12 months. brian harman has admitted that he was reluctant to hand back his claretjug ahead of the open golf, which idrank wine i drank wine and bourbon out of it.

it is the coolest trophy in all sports. it is deserving of all the pageantry involved. the tour de france returns later after the second rest day of the race. it's a stage for the sprinters ending in the southern french city of nimes, and could be one for mark cavendish, which is why his astana team were so keen for him to make it to the finish line in the pyrenees on sunday within the time limit. tadej pogacar leads. with just ten days to go, 71 british athletes arrived at the gare du nord station in paris on monday. the unique opening ceremony starts on friday, not in a stadium but boats sailing down the river centre. trains and boats and eventually i imagine some of them will sit down

6:39 am
only known to locals. then, 20 years ago, a mysterious dark green patch was spotted on satellite images by explorer and ecologist professorjulian baylis. oh, my god! i mean, what have we discovered here? when he went to check it out on the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes. we found the largest rainforest in southern africa. what came next was a race against time to reveal mabu's secrets, in the hope that it would lead to the forest being protected. we joined professor bayliss in a team of scientists on their latest expedition — looking for new species in the very heart of mabu. one of the reasons why mabu is so special is because it's effectively a land island — a high altitude forest surrounded by the lowlands of mozambique. and what that means for the creatures who live here is that they've evolved separately from other populations,
6:40 am
making many of them unique. there it is. ok, wait. so far, more than 25 new species have been found and formally described... come here. don't go away. ..including at least ten of professor bayliss's favourite — butterflies. bayliss ipoppiana. poppy's the name of my daughter, so this one is named after my daughter. it was like four metres up in a small vine. there have also been new species of snakes, bats, crabs and chameleons. nadzikambia baylissi. it's a chameleon, which is only found on mount mabu. in a stream just by our tents, erica thinks she's found a new freshwater catfish. i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting. amazing. you guys, are you sure you don't want to...? this is unique. meet the dung beetle specialist.
6:41 am
hold on, hold on. i want to put on my gloves. he thinks he's found more than 15 new species on mabu and puts it down to the quality of his bait. basically, i'm using my faeces to... as a bait, to attract dung beetles here in the forest. so all over this part of the forest, there are probably dung beetles smelling your poo, thinking... that's correct! ..it�*s lunchtime. that's correct. no, i think this time around, maybe, is brunch. when we speak to the mozambique authorities, there's more good news. they confirm for the first time that all the new discoveries have convinced them to turn mabu into a conservation area. for professor bayliss, it will mark the end of a two decade—long journey. we've now arrived at the end goal of protecting this forest. this is a conservation success story. kept hidden for so long, thanks to science, mabu's secrets should live on.
6:42 am
jonah fisher, bbc news in northern mozambique. wow! i love then is this whole new ecosystem we didn't know about. you can watch jonah's full expedition on the bbc iplayer now. the programme is called mabu, saving the secret forest. well worth a look. here's matt with a look at the weather. can you save our summer? from rainforest to just can you save our summer? from rainforest tojust rain. can you save our summer? from rainforest to just rain. there is some time left. we have half ofjuly and august left. there are signs of optimism on the horizon. very good

6:53 am
what was the term that they used for that, like, alliance between germany and austria? sophie, or miss oxtoby, as she's now known, teaches history. today, these year 10 pupils are learning about the first world war. if they've not got enough money for clothes and food or anything like that, it suggests they are, what? just poor. poor and it's poverty. the class will sit their gcse exams next summer, just seven years after their teacher. we have such a strong sense of community round here, so it was like a no—brainer that i wanted to come back and obviously further help my community. like, everyone who lives in alvaston knows somebody that's gone to derby. so it's just that sense of community and wanting to give back almost. what scale am i going to use to measure the strength of an earthquake? and just down the corridor, sophie's former classmate and friend alex, alias mr baines, is also teaching year 10. but this time it's geography. there were four compared to the five — it's ten times less. it was really strange to start off with because this is, like, where i grew up and where i've got all my memories from, but it's become a place that i've really cherished, just as me growing as a person even
6:54 am
furtherand becoming that, like, professional, where i'm working with the children and developing them as well as myself further. the pair now get to enter parts of the school they never used to see, and that means a very different relationship with former teachers, who are now colleagues. it was really difficult at first, but obviously now they've become colleagues, who support both me and alex all the time anyway. so it's almost become that working relationship now because of the support that we've got. it was really strange and it was, i wouldn't say uncomfortable, but it wasjust different — it was a different experience. but now it's come to, like, it's really personal — when we know them on a professional and a personal level. it makes us so proud. we've got so many staff here who work so hard, and to be able to see the fruits of the labour. to have them at the school, working alongside us and inspiring a next generation of potential noel—baker teachers is amazing for us. off you go. lessons for the day over and pupils head home. maybe they too might return as teachers in years to come. steve beech, bbc news.
6:55 am
sweet! it is. are you a teacher at the school you previously attended? or maybe you teach alongside fellow pupils from your school. must be nice going back when you know it that well and you have lovely memories. my mother did that, went back to her old school as a teacher. going to the staff room. to get in touch and tell us why you decided to go back. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a young offenders' institution in west london has the highest levels of violence of any prison in england and wales, an inspection has found. feltham young offenders' institute holds around 80 teenagers
6:56 am
aged between 15 and 18. the chief inspector of prisons says disorder has tripled since the last inspection two years ago, with self—harm and levels of violence on the rise. st mary's hospital in paddington is one of the first in the country to carry out a new obesity procedure that doesn't require surgery and is now available on the nhs. the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty involves passing a tube through the patients mouth into the their stomach, then stitching parts together to reduce its size. it's done under general anaesthetic and patients are able to go home the same day. yves was the first to have it at st mary's. he struggled with his weight, reaching nearly 2a stone following a cancer diagnosis. i feel absolutely fantastic. i am not sore or anything. i eat way less because of the size of my stomach. i i eat way less because of the size of my stomach.— of my stomach. i feel much more
6:57 am
alive. the idea of this procedure being minimally invasive and very safe safety profile in terms of potential complications that can arise from it, makes it very attractive to a lot of patients. environmental campaigners have warned the mayor he must take urgent action to cut carbon emissions and improve public transport in the capital. a report by healthy streets, a coalition of groups lobbying for a greener transport system, say sadiq khan is on course to miss his own transport strategy targets. in response, a spokesperson at city hall said more cycle journeys are being made each day with new pedestrian crossings, and hundreds of school streets in place across the capital. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. well, yesterday evening's relentless rain has lifted away northwards, so it's a drier start this morning. it's cloudy, yes. we'll get some patchy rain but also some brighter spells and showers developing later.
6:58 am
now, you can see the cloud this morning. the patchy rain still within it but it'll gradually start to clear. the cloud thins a little, we'll get a few breaks in it, so glimpses of sunshine, which could spark off some showers later, but the temperature getting up to 21 celsius. just feeling a little warmer in those brief glimpses of sunshine. then anything remaining will clear away overnight. sky clears, temperature drops down to around 10 celsius, but it leads the way to a bright start on wednesday. high pressure builds tomorrow — it settles down. lots of sunshine around, a little bit of patchy cloud through the middle part of the day, but the temperature in these dry conditions getting up to around 21 celsius. so feeling just that little bit warmer. and this is going to stay the same for thursday and through friday. lots of sunshine around. and in fact the temperature is warming up. we could see the high 20s on friday. i will be back with another update in half an hour. plenty more on our webiste and social media. back tojohn and nina.

it's tuesday, the 16th ofjuly. relatives of the missing teenager jay slater are waiting to find out if a body found on tenerife is his. it's almost a month since the i9—year—old, from lancashire, disappeared after attending a music festival. spanish police say all the evidence suggests the body is his, but formal identification is yet to take place. joe inwood has the latest. it was in the deep ravines near the last known location of jay slater, that search and rescue teams found human remains, along with the missing i9—year—old's clothes and possessions. the body has not yet been formally identified, but local authorities are confident they have found jay slater. in his hometown of oswaldtwistle, where blue ribbons have become a sign of support, the news was met with sadness. it's a shame and this is bad. you know, everyone wants him home. everyone wants an answer, don't they? i think it's hit the community hard around here because obviously he's a local lad and he's well known. i feel sorry for the family for going through this.
7:02 am
i know every effort, people going over, especially our local fire service going over to find him, it must have hit, it's hit hard. jay slater was last seen leaving an airbnb in the north of tenerife, having spent the night partying with friends. he called one of them as he set out, to say he was about to begin the a0 kilometre walk home, but his mobile was about to die. that was the last time anyone heard from him. local authorities began a major search operation in very difficult terrain. but it wasn't just the rugged landscape that made theirjob difficult. there was huge public interest, with conspiracy theories springing up online. the spanish police had said they were calling off the search, but it seems it continued away from the public eye. they are now telling us that this special mountain search and rescue section of the guardia civil continued to search, kept up
7:03 am
that search, and they obviously were focusing very much on the zone around which jay which initially was known to have been before he went missing, because the body, if it is that of jay slater, was found very, very near to the village of masca, where we know he was on the morning of monday, june the 17th. jay slater�*s family have spoken of the living hell they have gone through. if confirmed, the discovery of his body may not ease their pain, but it will give them some closure. joe inwood, bbc news. we can go live to tenerife and speak to guy hedgecoe. i think the question in lots of people's mines this morning, certainly on the front page of a lot of the papers, is how can it be this body wasn't found for so long given that it was so close to the spot where we knowjay�*s phone last pinged?

7:05 am
had continued to search for a jay slater, despite the fact that two weeks ago we were told by the local police that the search had been called off. ~ :. police that the search had been called off. ~ . . , , , police that the search had been called off-— called off. what happens now? obviously his _ called off. what happens now? obviously his family _ called off. what happens now? obviously his family are - called off. what happens now? obviously his family are still. obviously his family are still waiting for a formal identification to take place?— to take place? that's right. the body which _ to take place? that's right. the body which has _ to take place? that's right. the body which has been _ to take place? that's right. the body which has been found - to take place? that's right. the body which has been found is l to take place? that's right. the i body which has been found is now to take place? that's right. the - body which has been found is now in the hands of the local forensic authorities here in tenerife. a postmortem examination is due to take place, with the results of that, the local authorities hope to be able to identify the body. but we don't have a timeline for that process. don't have a timeline for that rocess. :, :, _, . ~ process. for now, hedgecoe, thank ou. six process. for now, hedgecoe, thank you. six minutes _ process. for now, hedgecoe, thank you. six minutes past _ process. for now, hedgecoe, thank you. six minutes past seven. - process. for now, hedgecoe, thank you. six minutes past seven. nina i you. six minutes past seven. nina has more of the news and some astonishing pictures out of america overnight. yes, they keep coming. donald trump has made his first public appearance since since surviving an assassination attempt on saturday. the former president received wild applause when he arrived at the republican national convention in milwaukee, where he was officially named as the party's candidate for the presidential election. 0ur north america correspondent
7:06 am
nomia iqbal reports. please welcome the next president of the united states, donaldj trump. with the visible sign of an assassination attempt, donald trump greeted the crowd defiantly, but he appeared subdued and emotional. earlier in the day his sons arrived at the convention, the events of saturday still on their minds... it was horrible. i'm sitting there watching with my children and my heart broke, my heart absolutely broke. it shouldn't have happened. the secret service agents on the ground did an unbelievable job. but it's heartbreaking. ..before nominating their own father, giving him enough delegates to be the presidential nominee. for the greatest president that's ever lived, and that's donaldj trump... cheering. ..hereby declaring him the republican nominee. and there you have it. after all the controversy, the indictment and the conviction,

7:09 am
to move on from him. but nearly a decade after first getting to the top of the grand old party, it is now very much the party of donald trump. nomia iqbal, bbc news, wisconsin. that report by nomia iqbal. if you joined us earlier —— shejoined us earlier and gave us more detail on jd vance. well, a u—turn. ithink quite jd vance. well, a u—turn. i think quite simply jd vance consolidates donald trump as my populist agenda. he is also very close to donald trump's son, donald trump very close to donald trump's son, donald trumer, who had been effectively promoting him in the last few weeks on his social media. it is a really interesting choice. jd vance represents the state of ohio, a state that donald trump is pretty much sewn up. it is likely he will win it. he could have picked a candidate that appealed to more moderate voters. 0r candidate that appealed to more moderate voters. or a candidate that
7:10 am
appealed to ethnic minority voters. certainly picking marco rubio to make inroads with the hispanic community. but in the end he has chosen summary who is young. and also stands firmly. correct somebody who is young. he stands firmly on the same issues that mr trump does as well. he is a real attack dog for mr trump. jd as well. he is a real attack dog for mrtrump. jd vance is as well. he is a real attack dog for mr trump. jd vance is somebody who has had this to transformation. he has had this to transformation. he has now gone from being a never trump, to always trump. nomia iqbal. a review of the young offenders institution, hmp feltham a, in west london, has found it has higher levels of violence than any adult prison in england and wales. the hm inspectorate of prison said incidents of disorder had tripled since the last inspection of the facility two years ago. the ministry ofjustice said the criminaljustice system was in crisis but staff were making every effort to drive improvements.

7:12 am
general election campaign where sir keir starmer has tried to tell the country what he is all about. in the king's speech he will tell the country what his priorities are. what legislation he wants to pass in the first year or so of his government. one of the unusual things is that some of that legislation will be picking up the baton where the previous government left off, things like renters' reform, more protection for tenants, things like martyn's law, which the conservative government never got past, named after one of the victims of the manchester bombing, that would strengthen the safety of public events. we may see the introduction of the football governance bill, which the conservative government did not get around to passing. the rest will be distinctively labour. things like a fiscal responsibility law, which really speaks to what the new chancellor has focused on. a crime bill which will do various things including making drink spiking a specific offence. a railways bill which would allow labour to take the

is going to start in fort william. i am going to be starting there and then heading across the caledonian canal, all the way across scotland, and then i will be getting to inverness on the other side. when i get to inverness will be converting this machine into its road mode, then i will be attempting to come back across the width of scotland. the things which i am most concerned about for this journey is stability. me being set right on top here is really quite unstable. so i think that most likely i will be going in at some point. almost certainly i

7:28 am
good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. a young offenders' institution in west london has the highest levels of violence of any prison in england and wales, according to its latest inspection. feltham young offenders' institute holds around 80 teenagers aged between 15 and 18. the chief inspector of prisons says disorder has tripled since the last inspection two years ago — with self—harm and levels of violence on the rise. st mary's hospital in paddington is one of the first in the country to carry out a new obesity procedure that doesn't require surgery and is now available on the nhs. the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty involves passing a tube through the patient�*s mouth into the their stomach — then stitching parts together to reduce its size. it's done under general anaesthetic and patients are able to go home the same day. yves was the first to have it at st mary's. he struggled with his weight — reaching nearly 24 stone following a cancer diagnosis. i feel absolutely fantastic. i'm not sore or anything.
7:29 am
i eat way less because of the size of my stomach. it's much smaller. i feel much more alive. the idea of this procedure being minimally invasive and very safe safety profile in terms of potential complications that can arise from it, makes it very attractive to a lot of patients. environmental campaigners have warned the mayor he must take "urgent action" to cut carbon emissions and improve public transport in the capital. a report by healthy streets, a coalition of groups lobbying for a greener transport system, say sadiq khan is on course to miss his own transport strategy targets. in response, a spokesperson at city hall said more cycle journeys are being made each day with new pedestrian crossings and hundreds of school streets in place across the capital. let's take a look at the tubes now. now, onto the weather with kate.
7:30 am
good morning. well, yesterday evening's relentless rain has lifted away northwards, so it's a drier start this morning. it's cloudy, yes. we'll get some patchy rain but also some brighter spells and showers developing later. now, you can see the cloud this morning. the patchy rain still within it but it'll gradually start to clear. the cloud thins a little, we'll get a few breaks in it, so glimpses of sunshine, which could spark off some showers later, but the temperature getting up to 21 celsius. just feeling a little warmer in those brief glimpses of sunshine. then anything remaining will clear away overnight. sky clears, temperature drops down to around 10 celsius, but it leads the way to a bright start on wednesday. high pressure builds tomorrow — it settles down. lots of sunshine around, a little bit of patchy cloud through the middle part of the day, but the temperature in these dry conditions getting up to around 21 celsius. so feeling just that little bit warmer. and this is going to stay the same for thursday and through friday. lots of sunshine around. and in fact the temperature is warming up. we could see the high 20s on friday.
7:31 am
the next update is in half an hour. plenty more on our webiste and social media — back tojohn and nina. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. the new labour government has announced plans to move power out of westminster and into the hands of local people. deputy prime minister angela rayner, says opportunities for towns and cities across the country have been controlled by westminster for too long. shejoins us live she joins us live from westminster. what kind of powers are you talking

mandatory targets again, which is important so they are making decisions. we cannot have major infrastructure programme is being held up at local planning level. the chancellor also sat out the 400 new planners we will put on board in a task force to support us in making sure we do communicate with communities to get national infrastructure kick started. at the moment people are waiting for up to seven, eight, nine, ten years for national interest plans to get under way. that is slowing down growth and has a negative impact on gdp and what the country can provide and on local communities as well. we need growth. if we had grown at the average rate of the 0ecd countries we would have had £140 billion more in the economy. you

7:36 am
will not have had their own bed to sleep on. at the same time, some of those families with more than two children can no longer claim universal credit for a third child or more, cannot claim child tax credits and they are looking at you for labour government to lift that cap, why won't you do it? first for labour government to lift that cap, why won't you do it?- cap, why won't you do it? first of all we are — cap, why won't you do it? first of all we are going _ cap, why won't you do it? first of all we are going to _ cap, why won't you do it? first of all we are going to be _ cap, why won't you do it? first of all we are going to be reviewing l all we are going to be reviewing universal credit and that is important. secondly, we have a child poverty strategy, it is notjust one lever. i accept people are frustrated around the two child cap. people are frustrated and they have been frustrated over 14 years. we had 14 years of the tories who put us on the highest tax burden and the lowest growth. growth is imperative so we can afford to spend on making sure we lift children out of poverty. i set out the new deal on working people to make work pay. it
7:37 am
will lead to people instantly into a pay rise under our genuine living wage. we had talked about how we will get people back into homes again. at the moment there are so many families in temporary accommodation. we had to fix these problems in the long term. we have set out proposals on how we can support families. it is notjust one lever. the set before we were elected on number one priority is if we cannot say where the money is coming from, we will not make unfunded spending commitments. the chancellor has been clear about that. we said it before the election and we will not change course now. of course we want to tackle child poverty. we lifted a million pensioners and children out of poverty. this labour government will have to do the same again after 14 years of the chaos and decline under the conservatives. you years of the chaos and decline under the conservatives.— the conservatives. you have previously — the conservatives. you have previously described - the conservatives. you have previously described that. the conservatives. you have| previously described that tax the conservatives. you have - previously described that tax on child tax as obscene and inhumane.

7:39 am
working parents now having to visit food banks because their income isn't enough to feed their families and that is a priority of the government, to give people secure work, to grow the economy and pay for public services and alleviate some of the pressures people face. 0ur fiscal rule is very clear and has to be. when you lose control of finances you end up in a situation that liz truss put to cent, where people are paying more for mortgages and their cost of living has increased.— and their cost of living has increased. , , ,, :, :, increased. -- put us in. some of our increased. -- put us in. some of your labour— increased. -- put us in. some of your labour colleagues _ increased. -- put us in. some of your labour colleagues think - increased. -- put us in. some of your labour colleagues think you j your labour colleagues think you should be prioritise in this policy. some of them might put down an amendment to the king's speech tomorrow. they think it is apparent and they think you should deal with it. i and they think you should deal with it. . : : , and they think you should deal with it. , , and they think you should deal with

7:42 am
the country around. that has to be through growth. we have the highest tax burden in history and the lowest growth. that is why the chancellor set out last week but we need to do to get that growth. devolution is part of that and so are the planning reforms sitting under my department. just looking at politics more widely, we have been reporting about the assassination attempt on donald trump in the united states. we have seen mps murdered in the uk in the last couple of years. your told us colleague yesterday she thought this general election the most toxic she had ever seen. you talked about being on the receiving end of toxic politics. what can you do to remove some of that toxicity? {litter politics. what can you do to remove some of that toxicity? over decades and... we fought _ some of that toxicity? over decades

7:44 am
sad that is their question. it worries me that people will not want to stand for office. we need people to stand for office. we need people to stand for office. we need people to stand for office and we need people to uphold our democracy by making sure people are not intimidated, we do not see that violence and people can exercise their right to vote.— violence and people can exercise their right to vote. there might be ounu their right to vote. there might be young people _ their right to vote. there might be young people who _ their right to vote. there might be young people who heard _ their right to vote. there might be young people who heard you - their right to vote. there might bej young people who heard you using their word some about tory politicians and having to apologise. how do you as deputy prime minister reflect on your own use of language in your own responsibility in this? you will have seen at the time how i felt about it and i apologise. there was also racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments made by the prime minister. i said the prime minister was wrong. we'll have to reflect on that. the point is, there

7:48 am
this is eli lane. mr and mrs dursley of number 4, privet drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. how did that one make you feel? happy. he wanted to find a new voice for his communication device, which sounded a bit more like his family and less robotic. eli lane, whose voice was chosen, has been thousands of miles away at drama school in new york. but he wanted to make this special journey. i don't think anyjourney would have been would have been too far. i'm really excited to meet him. i think it will be... it'll be great. i don't know... i don't know how i'll react. hello, mate. how are you doing? eli, i can never thank you enough for giving me a voice. i promise to use it for good and always make my voice heard. so how was that for you? it was... it was brilliant.

it was so... it was so fun and exciting, um, to see dan. um... and yeah, it was great. and i wasjust so, so thrilled. what was it like hearing your voice but dan speaking, it? really, like, odd, but brilliant. it's like... it might take some getting used to. dan's mum sarah has nowjoined the excitement and eli has come here today with his mum claire and dad stuart. so we want both families to meet, so let's bring them in. hiya. hi. so lovely to meet you. two families united by one voice. and there are already plans for a video call when eli is back in new york. megan jones, bbc news.
7:50 am
fa ncy fancy a drink? always. pubs have been part of british culture for centuries but many of them are struggling to survive. last year alone, 1200 had to close down. among them was the ickleton lion, in cambridgeshire — but local people are determined to save it. they're having the ultimate whip—round, and are hoping to buy it back for half a million pounds. leigh milner went to meet them. last summer we were here. kids playing in the garden. yeah, it was such a nice memory. absolutely. nestled right in the heart of this small cambridgeshire village, the ickleton lion pub, surrounded by overgrown hedges and foxgloves, you can still see how beautiful it once was before it closed its doors last year. well, this pub's always been a thriving part of this village for 300 years. it's a place where the cricket clubs meet. there's book clubs,
7:51 am
there's been lunch clubs. it's had bouncy castles in the garden. it's got a beautiful south facing garden. and so it's such a shame now that that that has gone in the village. now residents are trying to raise £450,000 to save their last remaining pub before the 24th of september, so they can buy the lion and open it as a community owned pub protected from potential redevelopment. we're going to raise the money by issuing shares to people. people can buy shares anywhere from £200 upwards to £100,000. we will also have to raise some other money as well. we'll be taking out a loan and we'll be raising some other grants. it used to be called the red lion. it was the lion originally in 1728, right. at some point it became the red lion. rachel mary radford is the chair of the community group ickleton lionhearted. she shows me photos of all the birthdays, christmases and halloween spent there over the years. something would go out of the heart of the village and our vision for something more than a pub. these other things that we can do,
7:52 am
as well as being a pub, wouldn't happen. and so, you know, it wouldn't make the change that it could if it was a community owned pub. now, anyone from anywhere, notjust ickleton, will have the chance to keep this pub open, hopefully for another 300 years. leigh milner, bbc news. let's have a chat about what more can be done to help pubs. steve alton is chief executive of the british institute of innkeeping, and richard allen is director of the swan, in windsor — which is partially owned by the community. we will start with you, steve. how has it come to this with so many pubs closing?— has it come to this with so many pubs closing? has it come to this with so many .ubs closint? . ., pubs closing? post-pandemic may have had real issues. _ pubs closing? post-pandemic may have had real issues. pubs— pubs closing? post-pandemic may have had real issues. pubs have _ pubs closing? post-pandemic may have had real issues. pubs have been - had real issues. pubs have been thinking chronic inflation for a

8:02 am
thunderstorms. details here on breakfast. good morning. it's tuesday the 16th ofjuly. relatives of the missing british tourist jay slater are waiting to find out if a body found on tenerife is his. it's almost a month since the 19—year—old disappeared after attending a music festival. spanish police say all the evidence suggests the body is his, but formal identification is yet to take place. joe inwood has the latest. it was in the deep ravines near the last known location of jay slater, that search and rescue teams found human remains, along with the missing 19—year—old's clothes and possessions. the body has not yet been formally identified, but local authorities are confident they have found jay slater. in his hometown of oswaldtwistle, where blue ribbons have become a sign of support, the news was met with sadness. it's a shame and this is bad. you know, everyone wants him home. everyone wants an answer, don't they? i think it's hit the
8:03 am
community hard around here because obviously he's a local lad and he's well known. i feel sorry for the family for going through this. i know every effort, people going over, especially our local fire service going over to find him, it must have hit, it's hit hard. jay slater was last seen leaving an airbnb in the north of tenerife, having spent the night partying with friends. he called one of them as he set out, to say he was about to begin the 40 kilometre walk home, but his mobile was about to die. that was the last time anyone heard from him. local authorities began a major search operation in very difficult terrain. but it wasn't just the rugged landscape that made theirjob difficult. there was huge public interest, with conspiracy theories springing up online. the spanish police had said they were calling off the search, but it seems it continued away from the public eye. they are now telling us that this special mountain search
8:04 am
and rescue section of the guardia civil continued to search, kept up that search, and they obviously were focusing very much on the zone around which jay on the zone around which jay initially was known to have been before he went missing, because the body, if it is that of jay slater, was found very, very near to the village of masca, where we know he was on the morning of monday, june the 17th. jay slater�*s family have spoken of the living hell they have gone through. if confirmed, the discovery of his body may not ease their pain, but it will give them some closure. joe inwood, bbc news. we can speak to our reporter guy hedgecoe in tenerife. jay's family have been waiting, hoping desperately for a month for some positive news. how long could it take now for them to get some kind of formal identification of this
8:05 am

8:06 am
thick vegetation. all of that made the search extremely difficult. but if they do believe now that the body is that of jay slater. for now, guy hedgecoe, thank you very much indeed. any updates during the next few hours will be covered on bbc news, on the website and on the app. at seven minutes past eight, nina has more of the news, and quite a moment in american overnight. yes, they keep coming. donald trump has made his first public appearance since surviving an assassination attempt on saturday. the former president received wild applause when he arrived at the republican national convention in milwaukee, where he was officially named as the party's candidate for the presidential election. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. please welcome the next president of the united states, donaldj trump. with the visible sign of an assassination attempt, donald trump greeted the crowd defiantly, but he appeared subdued and emotional.
8:07 am
earlier in the day his sons arrived at the convention, the events of saturday still on their minds... it was horrible. i'm sitting there watching with my children and my heart broke, my heart absolutely broke. it shouldn't have happened. the secret service agents on the ground did an unbelievable job. but it's heartbreaking. ..before nominating their own father, giving him enough delegates to be the presidential nominee. for the greatest president that's ever lived, and that's donaldj trump... cheering. ..hereby declaring him the republican nominee. and there you have it. after all the controversy, the indictment and the conviction, the republican party have officially nominated donald trump as their presidential candidate. as you can see, people are so elated. joe mullins was sat behind the trump family. that was amazing. it was one of the best experiences. i had tears in my eyes, and i haven't cried like that since i lost my mother.
8:08 am
as you can see, everybody here is happy right now, i everybody is rejuvenated right now. and we're happy with the vp pick for president trump. _ the vp, or vice president, is 39—year—old senatorjd vance. he found fame when his memoir about growing up in poverty became a netflix movie. but it's a dramatic u—turn for a man who was once never trump. i know you've been asked about this before, about past comments that you've made about donald trump. you've said, "i'm a never—trump guy, never liked him, terrible candidate, idiot if you voted for him." but in a new interview with fox news he defended his comments. you literally said, you texted a friend, that trump is a cynical a—hole like nixon, who wouldn't be that bad and might even prove useful, and that he's america's hitler. what you say to people who say, wait a minute? i was certainly sceptical i of donald trump in 2016. but president trump i was a great president.
8:09 am
he changed my mind. he changed the minds of a lot- of americans because he delivered peace and prosperity. if you go back to what i i thought in 2016, i bought into the media's . lies and distortion. after the assassination attempt on mr trump has called for unity. he is regularly accused of using violent language. but president biden's language has also been in the spotlight. in a new interview with nbc, he defended his recent comment that it was time to put trump in the bull's—eye. it was a mistake to use the word. i didn't say crosshairs, i meant bull—sye, i meant focus on him, focus on what he's doing. after donald trump lost his re—election four years ago, many republicans said it was time to move on from him. but nearly a decade after first getting to the top of the grand old party, it is now very much the party of donald trump. nomia iqbal, bbc news, wisconsin. earlier i asked nomia iqbal about mr
8:10 am
trump us mikejoyce of running mate. what a u—turn. i think quite simply jd vance consolidates donald trump's populist agenda. it is also very close to donald trump's son, donald trump close to donald trump's son, donald trumer, close to donald trump's son, donald trump jr, who close to donald trump's son, donald trumer, who had been effectively promoting him in the last few weeks on his social media. it is a really interesting choice. jd vance represents the state of ohio, a state that donald trump is pretty much sewn up. it is likely he will win it. he could have picked a candidate that appealed to more moderate voters, or a candidate that appealed to ethnic minority voters, certainly picking marco rubio to make inroads with the hispanic community, but in the end he has chosen somebody who is young and also stands firmly on the same issues that mr trump does as well. he is a real attack dog for donald trump. and so, jd vance is someone
8:11 am
who has had this huge transformation and has now gone from being a never trumper to always trumper. nomia iqbal. final preparations are being made for the state opening of parliament tomorrow. henry zeffmanjoins for the state opening of parliament tomorrow. henry zeffman joins us from westminster. good morning. angela rayner told us about the economic limitations the government have inherited, but they will still want this to be high—impact tomorrow? yes, they will. we havejust had tomorrow? yes, they will. we have just had a general election campaign. sir keir starmer told the country but he is all about. a king's speech will tell us what his priorities are, what pieces of legislation he wants to write into law over the first year orso write into law over the first year or so of his government. you will see a focus on growth, you will see things like legislation on fiscal
8:12 am
responsibility, legislation on the railways, making it possible for labour to take the network back into public ownership as franchises expire. a crime bill doing things like making drink spiking a specific offence. you also have the curious thing of the government picking up where the previous government left off, doing things they didn't have time to do, things like that progressive ban on smoking as people get older. that is not to say that this government is happy with what they have inherited from the previous conservative government, as angela rayner was telling you just a moment ago. well, i accept that people are frustrated and want to change a lot of things— frustrated and want to change a lot of things that the conservatives have _ of things that the conservatives have done over the last 14 years, but our— have done over the last 14 years, but our inheritance is dire. the chancellor— but our inheritance is dire. the chancellor will set out in the coming _ chancellor will set out in the coming weeks more of the situation. she has— coming weeks more of the situation. she has asked all departments to .ive she has asked all departments to give them the frank information about— give them the frank information about what has happened, but we have seen unfunded commitments, we have seen unfunded commitments, we have seen the _
8:13 am
seen unfunded commitments, we have seen the situation with the crisis in our— seen the situation with the crisis in our prisons, so we have inherited a really— in our prisons, so we have inherited a really difficult situation. and — a really difficult situation. and that is something you can expect sir keir starmer and his team to keep saying again and again, that what they have inherited is even worse than they thought it would be. that is a crucial part of this new labour government's political strategy, to make clear that they cannot turn things around instantly. but it does present a slight political challenge, because they simultaneously want the hopeful energy of a new government, the first labour government for 14 years, while also talking down what they have inherited and talking down their prospects of transforming things fast. these king's speech, which will include about 35 new laws, that is their opportunity to turn things around. a new government only gets one opportunity to hit the ground running, and this is theirs. a big day ahead. thank you. today the high court will hear two
8:14 am
legal challenges over plans to open a new coal mine in whitehaven in cumbria. last week the government confirmed it will not defend the former government's decision to approve the scheme. 0ur climate and science reporter, georgina rannard, is outside the high court this morning. georgia, what are we expecting from these proceedings? this is the first in a three—day hearing and it's been a case of lots of twists and turns. it's been quite controversial at times. we will be hearing arguments from two climate groups opposing this mine in whitehaven. it's planned to be the first coking coal mine in 30 years to produce coalfor the first coking coal mine in 30 years to produce coal for the steel industry. those campaign groups say that planning permission given by the previous government was unlawful because it did not take into consideration the emissions from burning that coal. we will be hearing speeches from some of the supporters on the steps behind me shortly. and we will also be hearing arguments from the lawyers for the mine, west cumbria mining, who say
8:15 am
they plan to open a net—zero or mine and they will mitigate the emissions which contribute to climate change caused by building and running the mine. two things have changed since planning permission was given for this mine in 2022. the first, of course, is we have a new government elected just over a week ago. and the second is that a really major really major ruling was made in the supreme the second is that a really major ruling was made in the supreme court, the highest court, last month, which ruled that another another fossil fuel project was unlawful month, which ruled that another fossil fuel project was unlawful because it didn't consider the consider emissions from burning its product. because it didn't consider the emissions from burning its product. we are expecting those arguments to we are expecting those arguments to affect the hearing today. affect the hearing today. georgina, thank you. 16 minutes past we are expecting those arguments to affect the thankg today. we are expecting those arguments to affect the thank you. ay. we are expecting those arguments to affect the thank you. 16 minutes past georgina, thank you. 16 minutes past eight. we have been reporting this eight. we have been reporting this morning that the king and queen are morning that the king and giving in the channel islands today, giving a special royal award to a goat. in the channel islands today, giving a special royal award to a goat. we are also mentioning the rain that we are also mentioning the poured down on those kids in the a special royal award to a goat. we are down nentioning the a special royal award to a goat. we are down on 1tioning the a special royal award to a goat. we are down on thoseg the a special royal award to a goat. we are down on those kids in the poured down on those kids in the parade today. can the channel parade today. can the channel

8:18 am
welcome. bamboo is now causing huge damage to homes and buildings as it matures and runs wild. we have got some incredible stories for you, because sophie long has been looking into what some are now calling the new japanese knotweed. if you want an example ofjust how determined and damaging bamboo can be, look no further. this shot up inside a home in hampshire. further inspection revealed what lay beneath — a tangled mess of running bamboo had taken over the entire area under the ground floor, resulting in repairs costing more than £100,000. and the bamboo wasn't even planted in their garden, but their neighbours'. yeah, so if you come and look through here, you can see that the bamboo has completely taken over. and you can see nothing else is growing in there at all. emily helps others prevent such devastating consequences and keep things under control. this now towering bamboo forest
8:19 am
started as a few pot plants. now it's pushing through the fence, burrowing under the patio and decking, before emerging and totally taking over the garden next door. when people plant invasive bamboos, this is usually what happens. they don't realise that that's what's going to happen, but quite quickly they fall into the trap of not maintaining that bamboo, and then it's gone before they've even realised. the bamboo shoots actually push up with a huge amount of force. so although the decking is old, it's come all the way through the membrane, and you can see beneath the decking all of those runners travelling along. so the decking really didn't stand a chance. invasive plant experts like emily have seen a massive increase in callouts over the last few years, as the plants that soared in popularity two decades ago, reach maturity and wreak havoc, wiping the smiles from those who once enjoyed their outdoor spaces. so what needs to happen in order to make this usable as a garden again? yeah.
8:20 am
so, essentially all of the decking and patio would need to be removed and ta ken away. and then all of the runners can then be traced through the ground, excavated, taken away. and then, in order to stop the encroachment from occurring again into what's now being cleaned, we'd need to dig in a root barrier. but all that, of course, will cost a considerable amount of money. money that the tenant who rents this property from a housing association doesn't have. we've got it all along the wall here. next up for emily is a privately owned property in another part of plymouth. rob and maria moved here a year ago. as they cut back the overgrown garden, their bamboo was revealed. so bamboo is split into two different growing types — clumping and running. and the running bamboos, if you have an invasive variety, tend to spread far beyond the confines of the original planting area. so whilst people plant it and think it looks good for a short amount
8:21 am
of time, they quickly come to realise that it gets into all of the other places that it doesn't want. i mean, here is a prime example of it having taken over other shrubs and outcompeted them, essentially. they've tried to clear it, but it keeps popping up. it looks like it's punctured the pond, and is now getting dangerously close to the wall, and their neighbour's garden. but having it removed will cost several thousand. yeah, i think it's going to be, you know, a proper toolsjob rather than a sort of pitchfork and a shovel. it's going to be excavators and everything else. so, um, frustrated. but i think we need to do it. it's not going to go away. it's not something you canjust sort of ignore in the corner. i don't want it causing further damage to the pond or the wall or anything else around there. so, yeah, it's bite the bullet, i'm afraid. is there any benefit to a running bamboo? i couldn't think of one! i would suggest if you have to have bamboo in your garden, if it's really what you want, choose a clumping variety and keep it in a pot.
8:22 am
it may look nice, but you should think twice, because it might pop up elsewhere. sophie long, bbc news, plymouth. it's like a horror film. expensive to get rid of. gardnerer diarmuid gavinjoins us now. it looks absolutely gorgeous where you are. no bamboo, i don't think, in the background. is it all bamboo thatis in the background. is it all bamboo that is the problem? ihlo. in the background. is it all bamboo that is the problem?— that is the problem? no, it isn't. watchin: that is the problem? no, it isn't. watching that — that is the problem? no, it isn't. watching that report _ that is the problem? no, it isn't. watching that report nearly - that is the problem? no, it isn't. watching that report nearly had i that is the problem? no, it isn't. i watching that report nearly had me running back to my garden to dig it out. but it bad in most areas. there are two different types of bamboo. the makeover programmes of 20 years ago did make them popular. but we have been growing bamboo in these islands for hundreds of years. they
8:23 am

through that. but being observant, being careful, i think is the way to go about it. and keeping it restricted if it is running away. taste restricted if it is running away. we have had messages from people this morning saying there had literally have to go out every morning and try to cut back because it is creeping in from next door. if this is after 20 years of bamboo in the uk, what is going to be like in 30,50 years? listen, let's not get too scared about it. you can put the barriers in or keep cutting it down. i have put a load of tips on my instagram this morning. so if people want to go and examine the type that they have, understand the type of barriers they can get, you can go and do that. but being observant, understanding when you go cry to grow. bamboo is a bit of a plan.
8:26 am
it's very handy in some parts of the world for grading habitats, stabilising hills because those routes really bind us all together. so for places where there are problems with erosion. but if you really do want to grow it go and ask in your garden centre now, can i get one of those clumping ones that don't tend to be invasive? as i say, it is only where the soil is very warm and very moist because bamboos are very thirsty, that it could be a problem for you or your neighbours. i might go to the garden centre and ask for one of those plastic ones that don't grow at all! don't do that! thank you very much indeed. don't get him started on plastic loans. you have been getting in touch. —— lohans. shula from berkshire says, our neighbour had a bamboo, whose roots grew under the fence and into our garden. we had to dig half the lawn up at one point, to get a saw in and chop the root off.

another viewer got in touch and shared this picture, saying their garden is under attack from the neighbours bamboo. the private landlord refuses todo anything about it. katie from lancashire has written in saying: "we planted bamboo to create a screen between our house and a neighbouring house when they built a large extension. we didn't realise the invasive nature of the plant which spread and started to lift the patio flags. it cost us £7,000 rectify." one gardenerfrom one gardener from plymouth one gardenerfrom plymouth has one gardener from plymouth has got in touch to say he has a client whose bamboo has invaded her neighbour's garden. a trench has been dogged to get to the roots. it is very hard work and there was still no guarantee of success. stick with the top tip, a £1 packet of wild flowers you just chuck into the garden. they are on their third summer. i've got another tip. get a panda.

hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and jon kay. later this week, the prime minister will receive a letter from esther ghey, whose daughter brianna was murdered last year by two 15—year—olds. esther has been campaigning for more mental wellbeing support for schoolchildren across warrington — brianna's hometown — and now she's calling on sir keir starmer to roll out her campaign across england. estherjoins us now, alongside emily slater, chief executive of the mindfulness in schools project. good in schools project. morning to both of you. i know you good morning to both of you. i know you have told us before about how this has helped you through the dreadful time you have been through, mindfulness. people don't necessarily know what mindfulness is. what are we talking about? it is

8:43 am
thank you. it is coming up to a quarter to nine. the bbc has had exclusive access to a once—hidden rainforest. it's the largest in southern africa and is now set to become a protected conservation area, after dozens of new species were found living there. the mabu forest — in mozambique — was known only to local people until around 20 years ago. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisherjoined the latest expedition to see some its hidden gems. welcome to eden. welcome to the centre of mabu forest. this is about as good as it gets. there are still places on earth that humans have hardly touched. the forest is in excellent condition. the water is crystal clear. mabu forest is one of them. protected by mozambique's many wars and its remote location, this place was, for a long time, only known to locals. then, 20 years ago, a mysterious dark green patch was spotted on satellite images by explorer and ecologist professorjulian baylis. oh, my god!
8:44 am
i mean, what have we discovered here? when he went to check it out on the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes. we found the largest rainforest in southern africa. what came next was a race against time to reveal mabu's secrets, in the hope that it would lead to the forest being protected. we joined professor bayliss and a team of scientists on their latest expedition — looking for new species in the very heart of mabu. one of the reasons why mabu is so special is because it's effectively a land island — a high altitude forest surrounded by the lowlands of mozambique. and what that means for the creatures who live here is that they've evolved separately from other populations, making many of them unique. there it is. 0k, wait. so far, more than 25 new species have been found and formally described... come here. don't go away. ..including at least ten of professor bayliss's
8:45 am
favourite — butterflies. bayliss ipoppiana. poppy's the name of my daughter, so this one is named after my daughter. it was like four metres up in a small vine. there have also been new species of snakes, bats, crabs and chameleons. nadzikambia baylissi. it's a chameleon, which is only found on mount mabu. in a stream just by our tents, erica thinks she's found a new freshwater catfish. i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting. amazing. you guys, are you sure you don't want to...? this is unique. meet the dung beetle specialist. hold on, hold on. i want to put on my gloves. he thinks he's found more than 15 new species on mabu and puts it down to the quality of his bait. basically, i'm using my faeces to... as a bait, to attract
8:46 am
dung beetles here in the forest. so all over this part of the forest, there are probably dung beetles smelling your poo, thinking... that's correct! ..it�*s lunchtime. that's correct. no, i think this time around, maybe, is brunch. when we speak to the mozambique authorities, there's more good news. they confirm for the first time that all the new discoveries have convinced them to turn mabu into a conservation area. for professor bayliss, it will mark the end of a two decade—long journey. we've now arrived at the end goal of protecting this forest. this is a conservation success story. kept hidden for so long, thanks to science, mabu's secrets should live on. joining us now is our environment
8:47 am
correspondent, jonah fisher. what struck us when we watch it, we are so surrounded by armageddon, the planet is doomed. to see something like this which is so hopeful and beautiful must have been a delight. so nice to be reporting on something thatis so nice to be reporting on something that is going well, when a scientific endeavour, investigation, expeditions do seem to be yielding results. we saw professor bayliss there. he has been going back year after year and discovering new things. there is light at the end of the tunnel, protection for this incredible forest. it is kind of mind blowing when you go there to go somewhere which is so untouched, so pristine. we were staying in a spot in the forest just pristine. we were staying in a spot in the forestjust by pristine. we were staying in a spot in the forest just by the stream, drinking the stream, no boiling, no filtering. i could not get over it for the first two days. in the end
