6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today... a new energy company, railway nationalisation and planning reform — all set to feature in the labour government's first king's speech. it hit the 2% target in may, but what's happened to inflation since? yes, we will get the latest inflation figures this morning and we will have reaction from some of the traders and customers at this wholesale market near heathrow airport. i will also explain why the bank of england has not yet cut interest rates and lowered the cost of borrowing. she's a favourite for gold at the paris olympics — weightlifter emily campbell goes back to school and tells us how one teacher inspired herjourney. in sport, england are looking for
6:01 am
a new manager after gareth southgate called it a day. the fa's search won't be limited to english candidates — with plenty of big names potentially on their radar. and whilst it will be at pleasant summers day for many, cloud and rain gather to the north and west over the next few days and it is heat and humidity to the south and east. by friday, somewhere could hit 30 degrees. i will have the details. it's wednesday the 17th ofjuly. our main story. king charles will officially open parliament today — with a speech outlining what the new government plans to do in the coming year. it will contain details of draft bills on issues including illegal migration, nationalisation of the railways, and a move to end smoking. 0ur political correspondent helen catt has the story. fanfare. this was the king arriving for last year's king's speech.
6:02 am
then, it was a conservative government which wrote the words he read out. this time it will be labour's programme for the coming year. sir keir starmer says its central focus will be on growing the economy. in total, we're told, more than 35 bills are set to be announced in this speech. there will be a bill to take the railways into public ownership as franchises expire, a bill to speed up house—building by changing the planning system, and an english devolution bill to transfer some powers from westminster to local areas. it's thought a gradual ban on smoking — originally proposed by rishi sunak — could also be included, along with replacements for other bills that have been going through parliament under the tories. and martyn�*s law — which was promised, but never put before mps. named after martyn hett, who died in the manchester arena bombing, it would require venues and local authorities to have preventative plans in place against terror attacks. i think it's time that the legislation happens. i think people — the general public —
6:03 am
don't know that they're actually not safe when they're out and about. and i feel that everybody who enjoys what this country offers in terms of freedom and all the stuff people do to go and entertain themselves and live their life — i want people to know that they have the right to come home at night. labour also promised legislation to give new rights to workers in its first 100 days, and to set up a firm called gb energy to invest in renewable power. so it's thought there are likely to be laws to deliver those measures. but one thing that won't be in the speech is changing the rule that limits child benefit to just two children. the snp, the greens, and some labour backbenchers think it should be — and plan to try to add it, although they are unlikely to succeed. not every bill read out by the king later will necessarily make it into law in this parliamentary session, but the speech will show
6:04 am
what the government's priorities are. a ceremony dating back hundreds of years, setting out the vision of a government that's been in power forjust a handful of days. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is outside parliament. a busy day ahead. as helen mentioned people will be looking at what is in the speech and also what has been left out. . , ., ._ the speech and also what has been left out. . , ., , , left out. that is right. today is not 'ust left out. that is right. today is not just about _ left out. that is right. today is notjust about sir _ left out. that is right. today is notjust about sir keir - left out. that is right. today is i notjust about sir keir starmer's vision for his government, it is about his priorities, the things he wants to get done in the first year orso wants to get done in the first year or so of this new labour government. i think there are some things in there which might in time prove quite controversial. there will be a real focus on planning quite controversial. there will be a realfocus on planning reform quite controversial. there will be a real focus on planning reform today, meaning compelling councils across england that identify new land for housing. some of those rural areas
6:05 am
are often represented by labour mps thanks to keir starmer's own success. that could prove controversial. measures have proved controversial. measures have proved controversial —— controversial before, such as the progressive smoking ban, to face that in, plan of the previous conservative government and now as of the speech, the pomp and ceremony, later today, going to be a plan of this labour government. there will be measured not in it, as you say, the controversy over at the two child benefit cap. but also aspects which just cannot be in this speech because they are not about law, but nevertheless present very thorny problems for this government. things like public sector pay. keir starmer will have to make a decision on that by the end of the month. things like universities, some of them warning they are facing bankruptcy. what is going on at local councils? some of them facing bankruptcy. thames water is in trouble, the government might have to make a decision. government
6:06 am
is notjust about making laws, not just about what king will announce in the house of lords today. that is one of the things that keir starmer is learning as he goes about the business of working out what his government should do and what it should do first. we government should do and what it should do first.— should do first. we wait and see. hen at should do first. we wait and see. henry at westminster, _ should do first. we wait and see. henry at westminster, thank - should do first. we wait and see. | henry at westminster, thank you. jon has a round of the other news including a look ahead to economic news. in about an hour we'll find out the latest inflation figure — that's the rate at which prices are rising. last month, the overall figure hit the bank of england's target of 2% for the first time in almost three years. but in services — which includes things like retail and hospitality — the rate remained above 5%. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. from energy bills to the cost of products, this hair salon in basingstoke has seen overheads rise and rise.
6:07 am
even with inflation finally starting to level out, it's not easy to see an immediate end to the impact of recent price increases. we've had to absorb the costs, you know, which we're not really able to pass down to our clients because you naturally will end up losing clients, you know? and it's not really fair to do so, either, because everyone's struggling at the same time. customers remain loyal — but many have started leaving more time between cuts. balancing the household finances can mean spending less money on treats. food in particular has gone up tremendously. but you cut your cloth, don't you, to to suit what money you've got coming in. i mean, i'm retired, but i've got a little part—time job. the last few years, in terms of spending, um, did struggle quite a lot initially. i believe it's started to level off a little bit, especially because i've got a newjob, i get a better income. we're not using the car so much, and the fuel, etc, but, um... - i wouldn't say we've -
6:08 am
suffered, but we're just — you know, we're borderline, we're not having the - extravagant holidays. the big question remains — when might the bank of england feel inflation is stable enough for it to cut interest rates? well, it's not straightforward — it looks beyond the headline figure and weighs up how the various sectors of the economy are faring. and in services — things like hotels, restaurants and — yes — hairdressers — the pace of price rises remains a concern. do i see it getting any easier? i think it will get slightly easier, but we're still picking up the cost for the last four or five years, aren't we? this area flipped from blue to red at the recent election. small businesses are hoping the new government might have some fresh ideas to help improve the outlook. marc ashdown, bbc news. the labour party is seeking a new first minister for wales after vaughan gething stood down. he resigned after four members of the welsh government called for him to go, following questions around a £200,000 donation from a businessman convicted of environmental offences.
6:09 am
former welsh labour leader alun michael said mr gething had been forced out and not given the support he needed. the foreign office says it's helping the families of two british men reported missing in sweden — after a pair of bodies was found in a burned—out car in malmo. the victims have not yet been identified. the mayor of paris will swim in the river seine today — in an attempt to prove the water is fit to be used in the olympic games, which start in ten days. anne hidalgo will take the plunge alongside the chair of the olympics organising committee, after recent tests showed water quality had now improved to an acceptable level. the family of jay slater say their hearts are broken after it was confirmed that the body of the british teenager has been found in tenerife. spanish officials say his injuries were consistent with a fall. guy hedgecoe is in tenerife for us.

don't have any other response from them yet, but the family is working with a charity on the repatriation of the body. with a charity on the repatriation of the body-— with a charity on the repatriation of the bod . ., ., ., ~ of the body. ok, for now, thank you very much — of the body. ok, for now, thank you very much indeed. _ the bbc has confirmed that strictly come dancing contestants will now have chaperones accompanying them to rehearsals. it follows complaints about the teaching methods of two of the show�*s regular professional dancers. louisa pilbeam reports. # when i said... 0n the strictly dance floor, zara mcdermott and her professional dance partner graziano di prima were part of the famous glitz and glamour of the show. but zara is the latest celebrity to speak of negative experiences in the training room, saying... # it'sjust... graziano di prima hasn't responded to her statement, but he did acknowledge at the weekend that his intense
6:12 am
passion and determination to win might have affected his training regime. it comes after a law firm said it had contacted the bbc about numerous serious complaints regarding another former strictly professional, giovanni pernice. he's denied any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour. the bbc hasn't responded publicly about the substance of any complaints, but this afternoon pledged that it would have a production team member present during training, and have two new roles dedicated to welfare support, and have further training for the production team and crew. with strictly celebrating its 20th year, the show will be hoping everything is resolved before it's back on our screens in the autumn. louisa pilbeam, bbc news.

6:19 am
of our colleague dianne 0xberry, who died injanuary. she would never have considered that that would be something that would happen to her, but i think she would be so moved by — you know, if she if she were alive today — to know that this had been done in her name. the garden included sunflowers grown from seeds given out at her memorial service, and a rose commissioned by her husband, ian, called florida sunset. we do talk about the symptoms of ovarian cancer because that's what the dianne 0xberry trust is there for. but when you talk about the rose, it's the focal point for many people, as if the rose were dianne, and it brings us all together around it. when the show ended, the garden lived on. parts of it were donated to the wirral hospice stjohn's in clatterbridge, where they continued to flourish and blossom, tended to by a team of volunteers. it's good for the staff, it's good for us as volunteers — the patients, as well. there's always somebody comments about the garden or asks advice —
6:20 am
something like that, really. yeah. mm. well, hopefully our sunshine garden played a little part of it. it did, yes. it did, really. at the show in 2019, i met sue, a patient at the hospice. it's just a lovely place and... these gardens are so tranquil, aren't they? yeah, and we're looking forward to having this at our hospice. sadly, sue passed away in 2020, but her husband charlie now volunteers at the hospice. one part of the garden is particularly special to him. well, you call it the love shack. the love shack. he chuckles. but this is where we chatted, wasn't it, with sue? yes, it was. yeah, yeah. so it holds some lovely memories? lovely memories. i like to come here and just sit and just remember susan here. and look out at the beautiful gardens. and look out at the beautiful gardens, yeah, yeah. dianne and the tatton flower show were intrinsically linked for two decades, and through her sunshine garden, her memory will continue to flourish. and it's another extraordinary thing to think that it's a sort of legacy, isn't it?
6:21 am
somewhere else, that's been moved, but it's still got dianne's name on it. i think although she would be slightly embarrassed that it's all happening, i think she would be pleased. that was eamonn 0'neal from the dianne 0xberry trust finishing that report by annabel tiffin. do you know, we all worked with dianne and it is so true, despite being on tv and doing the weather, she was quite shy and modest so to know that all of this legacy had gone on she would be slightly embarrassed but she would love it. there is a little rose garden just outside the studio that we walk past every day that is also in her memory. every day that is also in her memory-— every day that is also in her memo .~ , , , memory. and people still remember dianne, memory. and people still remember dianne. she — memory. and people still remember dianne, she was _ memory. and people still remember dianne, she was a _ memory. and people still remember dianne, she was a real— memory. and people still remember dianne, she was a real face - memory. and people still remember dianne, she was a real face for- memory. and people still remember dianne, she was a real face for the l dianne, she was a real face for the north west. matt has been telling us that summer is finally here, sort of, for a short period.
6:22 am
millions of families will be planning a trip to a british beach over the coming weeks, and maybe even a dip in the sea. if they are brave enough! but with all 11 of england and wales' water firms now under investigation by 0fwat over sewage spills, you might be wondering if it's safe to bathe. one of the many areas affected by discharges is the fylde coast in lancashire. 0ur reporterjessica lane is on the beach in fleetwood, just north of blackpool, to tell us more. looks like a lovely start to the day, what is happening? it is absolutely — day, what is happening? it 3 absolutely beautiful here. we are in fleetwood and the sun is shining, it feels like summer is here at least and this area is absolutely surrounded by water. we have mark and a comic the irish sea just behind me and i am told that when it is clearer you can see the lake district across the bay —— we have
6:23 am
got morecambe bayjust there. people visiting the beach, school summer holidays are about to start in england and lots of people will be hoping to come down, enjoy the beautiful sand here and take a dip in the water. this is a bathing beach so it is really important to them here. the local water company, united utilities, announced as one of those companies that 0fwat is investigating. it found early in the year that it failed to stop pollution of lake windermere, and last year that was a large sewage spill and that led to people being told to avoid the water on the beach in blackpool, which isjust to the south here. 0bviously in blackpool, which isjust to the south here. obviously a big worry for all of those people relying on tourist trade. the news today is that 0fwat has now announced they
6:24 am
are investigating all 11 water companies in england and wales over these sewage spills, and the environment agency says there were 3.6 million hours of sewage spills in england last year and 1 million hours in wales. 0f in england last year and 1 million hours in wales. of course water companies can release untreated sewage into rivers and seas if it is raining heavily, and that is to prevent flooding, but it is illegal to do that in dry weather and so 0fwat have announced they have increased their investigation. we're very concerned about how the industry is dealing with the issue of sewage spills, so we've expanded our investigation even further to include the last four remaining companies. this is our most complex, and it's our largest investigation. and it's important that, you know, we take the time and gather the evidence to get the right outcome for customers and the environment.

a mother whose son was killed in north london 22 years ago, says she's been failed by the police and justice system. no—one's ever been charged over the stabbing of 20—year—old jonathan mcmurray, in wood green in 2002. his mother sandra says she's only recently discovered that his case was classed as "inactive" nine years ago. he's present and missed every day. yeah, yeah. not having closure, not having justice for him, and closure, that's the worst thing for a mother to go through. the police and the justice system failed us. they failed us bad. the met says the investigation is in "an inactive phase", but that no unsolved murder is ever closed, and detectives will consider any new information provided. a new report says london must better prepare for severe floods and heatwaves. the london climate resilience review commissioned by the mayor called for a "reset moment" following the general election.

it highlighted opportunities for investment in london, but warned that time was running out. researchers at king's college london say a self—testing kit could lead to a million extra women getting screened for cervical cancer. the team at king's says the results of its trial were fantastic and give power to women. the test can either be done at a gp surgery, or at home then posted to a laboratory. the nhs is assessing whether to roll out the scheme. let's take a look at the tubes now. the 0verground has no service willesden junction to shepherd's bush, southbound, and there are severe delays on the piccadilly line. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. summer returns for the next few days. as high pressure takes charge for today, it's largely dry, plenty of sunshine, and the temperatures starting to feel a little bit warmer. we do have one or two mist patches around this morning. that's going to burn back very quickly. plenty of sunshine, a little
6:30 am
bit of patchy cloud, the outside chance of a light shower, but most places dry. and temperatures getting up to 24, even 25 celsius in one or two spots later. even tonight, after a sunny evening, we have got plenty of clear spells. a little bit of patchy cloud again, minimum temperature, 11 celsius. as we head into thursday, it starts to feel quite humid, but we have got plenty of sunshine. the temperature rising even higher. it's a dry day. temperatures tomorrow reaching around 27 celsius. as we head into friday, another warm night overnight thursday into friday itself. and again, plenty of sunshine on friday, it's dry, temperatures reaching 29 celsius. a warm and largely dry day for saturday. cooler, more unsettled on sunday. and that's all from me — there's plenty more on the bbc news app. now it's back to nina and jon. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst.
6:31 am
it is exactly half past six. the new government's plans for the next 12 months will be laid out in more detail today, in a speech by king charles at the state opening of parliament. 35 draft laws will be outlined, but whatever sir keir starmer's aims, he'll need to weigh them against a number of pressing financial questions. bbc verify�*s ben chu has been taking a look at the pressures on the public purse. whatever the new government chooses to focus on in the king's speech today, there are some big and pressing challenges which it will find very hard to ignore. so let's go through five of them. first, public sector pay deals. decisions on pay rises for nhs staff, teachers, police and prison guards in england for 2024/25, have to be taken by the end of this month. the government may need to find around £7 billion a year extra to prevent the wages of these public sector workers falling further behind their counterparts in the private sector. as you can see from this, while average private
6:32 am
sector inflation adjusted wages are around 4% higher than they were in 2010, public sector wages are still around 2.5% lower. and teachers' pay is around 9% lower, nurses 6% lower, and for doctors, it's around 15% lower. so finding an extra £7 billion per year to change this picture will be challenging given the government's chosen restraints on its spending and taxation powers. but if it fails to do this, it could find its targets to recruit more teachers and nurses even harder to achieve, or even risk provoking further public sector strikes. second, local councils. a survey of local authority leaders earlier this year found around one in ten are likely to have to effectively declare bankruptcy this financial year, which would force painful cuts in local services. and, around five in ten said they were likely to go bust in this parliament, unless local government funding is reformed. ministers could give struggling
6:33 am
councils a direct financial top—up to keep them afloat, but that would also be expensive for the treasury. third, universities. the £9,250 per year tuition fee that universities in england and wales can charge domestic students has been frozen in cash terms since 2017, reducing the inflation—adjusted income of the higher education sector from this source by almost a fifth over the past decade. this has led to warnings some universities could well go bankrupt in 2024. so, do ministers allow universities to generate more income by raising the tuition fee? that would likely not go down well with students. fourth, thames water. the company has debt of around £50 billion, which it is struggling to repay, and it only has sufficient cash to last until next may. and as you can see, that's considerably more than the other water companies of england and wales. if thames fails, it will likely go into a government special administration regime, a form of temporary nationalisation,
6:34 am
in order to ensure that some 16 million households in the south east of england keep getting their water. so does the government wait and hope the situation improves and the company can raise the private sector money it needs to keep going? or should it grasp the special administration nettle earlier? fifth, prisons. the prisons of england and wales had just 1,451 places available at the end of last week, meaning they were 98% full. ministers have announced that from september, there will be temporary early release for some prisoners when they've served just 40% of their sentence, to relieve the pressure. but that would only create short term breathing space. the bigger policy choice is whether to build more prison places or reduce the prison population. these are all the tough choices which will loom over the legislative agenda outlined later today. ben chu there. in the next half hour we'll get the uk's
6:35 am
latest inflation figure, which will tell us how quickly prices are rising for things like food, fuel and services. ben's at a wholesale market in london to tell us more. morning, ben. morning. look at these. peach is the size of your head, almost. these have come in from spain. 0ver size of your head, almost. these have come in from spain. over here we have some tasty —looking apricotss from france. and around here, somejuicy blueberries apricotss from france. and around here, some juicy blueberries from poland. there is fresh produce that comes in here from all over the world. and of course the prices do change. the reason we are here is to talk about inflation. that is the change in the price on average of different goods and services compared with a year ago. we know that in may inflation was at 2%. so
6:36 am
prices revising a little less quickly than they month before. importantly it is the first time in nearly three years that inflation hit the bank of england target of 2%. many hoped that meant the bank would cut interest rates and bring down the cost of borrowing, mortgages, loans, credit cards etc. but it has not yet done that. to understand why you need to look at core inflation, a measure of price changes that exclude things like fuel, food and energy, because those things can change quite a lot and distort the average. think of it like this. if you are measuring the speed of the cars on the motorway, core inflation is just speed of the cars on the motorway, core inflation isjust looking at the middle lane. let's find out what the numbers mean to the traders here. joe, we have spoken over the years about how high inflation was putting pressure on you as wholesalers, but also

6:41 am
it is difficult. correct or intangible. it has felt like the nation has got behind england in a completely different way. and that is hard to do. that is why a lot of people have been paying tribute to gareth southgate. well, a lot of those who worked alongside him have been adding their tributes to southgate after his eight years in charge. not many of the 99 players he picked are more significant than his captain harry kane, who added his words of appreciation. kane wrote... so now the debate begins. keep the job in the hands of an englishman, or open the field to all available candidates. it is one that those responsible for southgate's successor will now be having. with the current squad and pay packet, perhaps some big names could be enticed to take on one of the most high—profile jobs could be enticed to take on one of the most high—profilejobs in international football. the most high—profilejobs in internationalfootball. among the most high—profilejobs in
6:42 am
international football. among the favourites, graham potter, who impressed at brighton, didn't work out at chelsea, where he was sacked. as he turned down a host ofjobs since with an eye on this one? another highly rated english coach expected to be on the shortlist is eddie howe. although tempting him away from newcastle could prove difficult. they have already said they will fight to keep it. and theseis they will fight to keep it. and these is this perhaps southgate mark two, england under 21 coach lee carsley has been successful with them and would be an obvious candidate should there be an interim coach needed. the fa are not ruling out a foreign coach. how about mauricio pochettino, argentinian but lives in london? he has had a host ofjobs in england. he is also available after leaving chelsea in may. jurgen klopp is another illustrious name out of work having left liverpool. the availability issue might be to the fore. he said he wanted to take a break, a long break. and if you are aiming high, why not consider pep guardiola? the
6:43 am
fa say they are committed to hiring the best. but the manchester city manager does have a contract until next year. whoever takes over has a hard act to follow. southgate will be remembered as the man who restored that credibility of the england team, for so long a symbol of sporting underachievement. with two years until the next world cup, it will full to his replacement to try to build that progress and secure that elusive major trophy. of the home nations involved in qualifiers for the women's euros last night, the only team not to win was the one that secured a place at the finals in switzerland next year. defending champions england will be there after a goalless draw in sweden, while scotland beat serbia. northern ireland did the same to bosnia. and there was a record—breaking victory over kosovo for wales. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall reports from gothenberg. from the group of death, england have risen. it's been a challenging qualification campaign for sarina wiegman's side, but here in gothenburg they got the job done. before, you knew sometimes when you went to the start of a game
6:44 am
that you would win it, you just didn't know how much, which is actually not that competitive. and now it's really competitive, so, yeah, you can't hide any more. a draw here would be enough, but of his team, we were told, plays to win. georgia stanway came close closest in a first half england controlled. sweden improved — they had to. and hannah hampton, preferred in goal to mary earps, was tested. the game was still in england's grasp. for a moment, it nearly slipped out. 0ne sweden goal would change everything. the pressure was relentless, but somehow england held on. their celebrations tempered with relief. now the european champions can look forward to defending their title in switzerland next year. and northern ireland, scotland and wales could stilljoin them. they were already guaranteed a place in the play—offs, and have ended the group stage on a high. in glasgow, kirsty hanson was on the mark for scotland against serbia as they finished top of their group. northern ireland improved their draw for the play—offs with a 2—0 win
6:45 am
over bosnia—herzegovina. and all eyes were onjess fishlock for wales as she became her country's top goal—scorer in their 2—0 win over kosovo. record—brea ker, history maker. katie gornall, bbc news, gothenburg. kylian mbappe says he knew it was his destiny to play for real madrid, and that he was so sure that he decided to take spanish classes at school despite, by his own admission, not being especially academic. his dream was finally realised yesterday, and he arrived at a press conference clutching a model of the bernabeu stadium he said he'd been given as an eight—year—old. the france striker has signed a five—year deal at real following the expiry of his contract with paris st—germain. britain's mark cavendish missed the chance to extend his record of 35 stage victories in the tour de france yesterday. it's probably his final year in the race. with mountains looming, stage 16 was the last chance for cavendish to add to his record, but he couldn't break through for the final burst.
6:46 am
yasper philipsen was first over the line. tadej podagar remains the runaway overall leader. now, we know rafael nadal is one of the greats of tennis, and yesterday he was up against the son of another legend of the sport at the swedish 0pen. nadal, who missed wimbledon to focus on the olympics in paris, was up against none other than a certain leo borg, the son of 11—time grand slam champion bjorn. and the 21—year—old gave quite a good account of himself before losing 6—3, 6—4. nadal will play britain's cameron norrie in the last 16. finally, the beds on which athletes at the paris olympics and paralympics will get their well earned rest have been revealed, and the frames are made out of cardboard. these beds were initially created for the tokyo games three years ago, and are, naturally, recyclable. once the games are over, they'll be donated to charities. and as to their durability, well, the ceo of the company who designed them doesn't seem to have too many concerns.
6:47 am
a testing time because at the moment we have the ceo of the company jumping on the bed, and we have the paris mayorjumping on the river seine later on. i was a bit worried about the integrity of those bouts. but absolutely fine. you no less than the ceo of the company that make them. in a few minutes we will be speaking to emily campbell, british weightlifter, who will be sleeping in one of those bouts. amazing story, where she pays tribute to her teacher, it shows the power of an inspirational teacher. if you are struggling to get out of bed and wondering what the weather is going to be like to can tell us. good morning. for most, not raining. there is a big change. a better day today. compared to what some experienced yesterday. almost a perfect summer's day. average in terms of temperature. an isolated

7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today. a new energy company, railway nationalisation and planning reform — all set to feature in the labour government's first king's speech. it hit the 2% target in may, but what's happened to inflation since? risking life — near misses at level crossings are on the rise with pedestrians and drivers
7:01 am
ignoring warning signs. in sport, there's a lot to live up to for england's next manager after gareth southgate called it a day. the fa's search won't be limited to english candidates, with plenty of big names potentially on their radar. pleasa nt pleasant summers day for many but whilst we start to see a bit more cloud in the north and west for the rest of the week, the south and east, heat and humidity build, 30 degrees possible for someone friday. i will have the details. —— for some on friday it's wednesday the 17th ofjuly. our main story. king charles will officially open parliament today — with a speech outlining what the new government plans to do in the coming year. it will contain details of draft bills on issues including illegal migration, nationalisation of the railways and a move to end smoking. 0ur political correspondent helen catt has the story. fanfare.
7:02 am
this was the king arriving for last year's king's speech. then, it was a conservative government which wrote the words he read out. this time it will be labour's programme for the coming year. sir keir starmer says its central focus will be on growing the economy. in total, we're told, more than 35 bills are set to be announced in this speech. there will be a bill to take the railways into public ownership as franchises expire, a bill to speed up house—building by changing the planning system, and an english devolution bill to transfer some powers from westminster to local areas. it's thought a gradual ban on smoking — originally proposed by rishi sunak — could also be included, along with replacements for other bills that have been going through parliament under the tories. and martyn's law — which was promised, but never put before mps. named after martyn hett, who died in the manchester arena bombing, it would require venues and local authorities to have
7:03 am
preventative plans in place against terror attacks. i think it's time that the legislation happens. i think people — the general public — don't know that they're actually not safe when they're out and about. and i feel that everybody who enjoys what this country offers in terms of freedom and all the stuff people do to go and entertain themselves and live their life — i want people to know that they have the right to come home at night. labour also promised legislation to give new rights to workers in its first 100 days, and to set up a firm called gb energy to invest in renewable power. so it's thought there are likely to be laws to deliver those measures. but one thing that won't be in the speech is changing the rule that limits child benefit to just two children. the snp, the greens, and some labour backbenchers think it should be — and plan to try to add it, although they are
7:04 am
unlikely to succeed. not every bill read out by the king later will necessarily make it into law in this parliamentary session, but the speech will show what the government's priorities are. a ceremony dating back hundreds of years, setting out the vision of a government that's been in power forjust a handful of days. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is outside parliament. morning, henry. people will know a lot about what is in the speech but criticism might come around what is not in it. ., , ~ ., not in it. that is right. we have had months. — not in it. that is right. we have had months, even _ not in it. that is right. we have had months, even years - not in it. that is right. we have had months, even years in - not in it. that is right. we have l had months, even years in which not in it. that is right. we have - had months, even years in which keir starmer has been trying to give the country a flavour of what he is all about. to we find out what he wants to do and what he wants to do first because this is not the government's legislative agenda for the four or five years to come, it is the agenda for the next year or so. the things
7:05 am
they want to get done in that early burst of political momentum. expect, as you heard, ifocus burst of political momentum. expect, as you heard, i focus on burst of political momentum. expect, as you heard, ifocus on housing burst of political momentum. expect, as you heard, i focus on housing and planning. that could be quite controversial, especially in some of those rural areas of england which are now represented by labour mps for the first time. you can expect also some controversy, political heat around plans for devolution, to give much more powers to local leaders across england. but you are right to say there will be attention given to what is not in this speech. there are people on the labour left, mps on the labour left but also the greens who would like keir starmer to commit to scrapping the two child benefit cap, that will not be the speech. we will also hearfrom sir ed davey, the labour of that —— the leader of the much bolstered lib dems, who says this needs more focus on fixing health and social care. and there are things that are nothing to do with legislation, like
7:06 am
public—sector pay that keir starmer will have to make a decision on in the coming weeks. warnings of bankruptcy, problems at thames water. government is notjust about passing laws but today we will find out which laws keir starmer wants to pass and wants to pass a early. i am sure ou pass and wants to pass a early. i am sure you will — pass and wants to pass a early. i am sure you will scrutinise _ pass and wants to pass a early. i am sure you will scrutinise every detail. thank you. jon has a round—up of the latest stories and we have just got the inflation figures. in the 12 months tojune this year, inflation remained unchanged from the previous month at 2%. ben has the details good morning. morning. inflation in june was at — good morning. morning. inflation in june was at 2%. _ good morning. morning. inflation in june was at 2%, meaning _ good morning. morning. inflation in june was at 2%, meaning that - good morning. morning. inflation in| june was at 2%, meaning that prices were rising at the same rate as they did the previous month, may. inflation is a measure of the change in prices for all sorts of goods and
7:07 am
services we typically spend our money on and how quickly they have gone up in price compared with a year ago. you will remember if you watch the programme regularly that i often talk about the bank of england's target being 2%. so now it has been at 2% injune and inflation was at 2% in may, many people are wondering, when will the bank cut interest rates and lower the cost of borrowing? and make mortgages, loans, credit cards and so on cheaper, more affordable, ease those pressures on households? to understand why they haven't yet you need to look at core inflation, which excludes things like food and energy. those things are more volatile, they will change and swing more sharply in price. they can also then distort the average. core inflation, if it were a motorway and you are looking at the speed of all cars, it is like just looking at the middle lane. that level of inflation
7:08 am
is still higher, it is at 3.5% and it was that injune, and the same in may, which is why many economists say that although the headline figure of inflation is what the bank wants it to be, they don't expect generally to see a cut in interest rates until probably the autumn. fiifi rates until probably the autumn. ok, for now, rates until probably the autumn. ok, for now. thank— rates until probably the autumn. ok, for now, thank you very much indeed. we will go back to ben a little later. borisjohnson has described the attempt on donald trump's life as shameful after meeting him at the republican party convention in milwaukee. the former prime minister said that in their 30—minute meeting, mr trump assured him that he would stand firm against aggression in ukraine — if he wins the election in november. the foreign office says it's helping the families of two british men reported missing in sweden — after a pair of bodies was found in a burned—out car in malmo. the victims have not yet been identified. the bbc has confirmed that strictly come dancing contestants

7:10 am
that pressure ever really went away. there were other issues during that time over this four month period, one of them concerns around the manner in which vaughan gething sacked a member of his cabinet for allegedly leaking information to the media, and yesterday we had four members of his cabinet resigning in quick succession, calling on him to go and then he went. throughout this time what has been evident is there has been, it has created this split between welsh labour, and yesterday we had a former first minister back, a friend of vaughan gething, saying, look, he has been forced out, this isn't fair. it shows disharmony within labour and it will be difficult to see where they go from here. yes, there will be a leadership contest, we are waiting to see what the timetable is, labour will meet on saturday, but there is no clear unity candidate. looking ahead to the election in 2026 in the

7:31 am
recently discovered that his case was classed as inactive nine years ago. he's present and missed every day. yeah, yeah. not having closure, not having justice for him, and closure, that's the worst thing for a mother to go through. the police and the justice system failed us. they failed us had. the met says the investigation is in an inactive phase, but that no unsolved murder is ever closed, and detectives will consider any new information. a new report says london must better prepare for severe floods and heatwaves. the london climate resilience review, commissioned by the mayor, called for a "reset moment" following the general election. it highlighted opportunities for investment in london but warned that time was running out. as we've been hearing, the state opening of parliament will take place later today. preparations are underway in central london, with security barriers
7:32 am
going up outside parliament. hundreds of police officers will be deployed along whitehall, as king charles travels from buckingham palace to westminster to open parliament. let's take a look at the tubes now. the 0verground has minor delays sydenham to west croydon. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. summer returns for the next few days. as high pressure takes charge for today, it's largely dry, plenty of sunshine, and the temperatures starting to feel a little bit warmer. we do have one or two mist patches around this morning. that's going to burn back very quickly. plenty of sunshine, a little bit of patchy cloud, the outside chance of a light shower, but most places dry. and temperatures getting up to 2a, even 25 celsius in one or two spots later. overnight tonight, after a sunny evening, we have got plenty of clear spells. a little bit of patchy cloud again, minimum temperature, 11 celsius. as we head into thursday, it starts to feel quite humid, but we have got plenty of sunshine. the temperature rising even higher.
7:33 am
it's a dry day. temperatures tomorrow reaching around 27 celsius. as we head into friday, another warm night overnight thursday into friday itself. and again, plenty of sunshine on friday, it's dry, temperatures reaching 29 celsius. a warm and largely dry day for saturday. cooler, more unsettled on sunday. just before i go, we all know pets can be comforting. but head to our website to read about marley, the london cat who's been helping women who've been trafficked. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. just after half past seven. planning reform, drink—spiking, railway nationalisation, and counter—terrorism are just some of the issues expected to be covered in the king's speech today. the speech will formally open parliament, and will outline what the new government
7:34 am
wants to achieve. what can we expect? we're joined now by minister for the cabinet office, pat mcfadden. morning. a big day ahead. this is where the new government gets to set its stall out for its priorities for the year ahead. what can we expect to hear? ~ ., ., ., �* to hear? well, good morning. i'm in the slightly — to hear? well, good morning. i'm in the slightly odd _ to hear? well, good morning. i'm in the slightly odd position _ to hear? well, good morning. i'm in the slightly odd position of- to hear? well, good morning. i'm in the slightly odd position of not - the slightly odd position of not being able to talk much about the individual bills until the king makes the speech later on this morning. but what i think people should expect is for us to get on with implementing the things that were in our manifesto, the things that we talked about during the election campaign. and we said we would put economic growth at the heart of what we wanted to do if we won the election. we said we wanted to take measures to improve transport. we said we wanted to get on with the transition to cleaner energy. we said we wanted to devolve more powers to local areas, to our
7:35 am
elected mayors around the country. those are the kind of things that people can look out for and expect when the king's speech comes later today. i when the king's speech comes later toda. �* ., today. i appreciate you can't go into too much _ today. i appreciate you can't go into too much detail, _ today. i appreciate you can't go into too much detail, but - today. i appreciate you can't go | into too much detail, but people today. i appreciate you can't go - into too much detail, but people at home will want to know how this affects them. starting with rail, for example, i looked at taking the kids to london in august, 327 quid. the last time we did that we ended up the last time we did that we ended up sitting on the floor. can you put a timeline on railfares up sitting on the floor. can you put a timeline on rail fares getting cheaper and more reliable? what a timeline on rail fares getting cheaper and more reliable? what we want to do is. _ cheaper and more reliable? what we want to do is, as _ cheaper and more reliable? what we want to do is, as the _ cheaper and more reliable? what we want to do is, as the franchises - cheaper and more reliable? what we want to do is, as the franchises for i want to do is, as the franchises for the individual railways come to an end, to bring them into public ownership, to create a more integrated system, to simplify the ticketing, to make sure there is, you know, more interconnection between the different services and
7:36 am
different companies, and to give ourselves a more reliable rail network, railservice, ourselves a more reliable rail network, rail service, which is therefore everybody to use. read to their for everybody to use. we think it is too fragmented, too unreliable and we want to do something about that. ., . ~' , and we want to do something about that. ., . ,, , , and we want to do something about that. ., a , , .,, that. how quickly will be get those results? it depends _ that. how quickly will be get those results? it depends on _ that. how quickly will be get those results? it depends on the - that. how quickly will be get those results? it depends on the length l that. how quickly will be get those | results? it depends on the length of franchises because _ results? it depends on the length of franchises because some _ results? it depends on the length of franchises because some of- results? it depends on the length of franchises because some of them i results? it depends on the length of. franchises because some of them have —— to last for longer periods than others. the idea is to bring them back into public ownership. that ties into your— back into public ownership. that ties into your plans _ back into public ownership. that ties into your plans around evolution. we know there has been more investment in transport in london in the south—east and in the north, and trains are less reliable up north, and trains are less reliable up north. is there a greater commitment to change that? yes, indeed. commitment to change that? yes, indeed- 0ne _ commitment to change that? yes, indeed. one of _ commitment to change that? yes, indeed. one of the _ commitment to change that? yes, indeed. one of the first _ commitment to change that? .eis indeed. one of the first things the new prime minister, keir starmer, did a few days after the election was to invite in all the elected mayors from around the country into
7:37 am
downing street to talk about how we could work together. transport was very high on the list of their agenda. transport, housing, skills and so on. they have great insight into what's needed in their area. we are looking forward to a really good partnership with them to deliver some of this change. you want good transport services, notjust in the capital city, but right around the country. that has been a running sore for a long time. and sol country. that has been a running sore for a long time. and so i think we have got the basis of a really positive partnership to do something about that over the next few years. people do feel a bit fed up with transport connectivity in the north. let's talk about building. there is a plan to remove the local blockages in terms of getting spades in the ground. how does that tie into your agenda in terms of giving power to the regions? it’s agenda in terms of giving power to the regions?— the regions? it's really interesting. _ the regions? it's really interesting. when - the regions? it's really interesting. when we i the regions? it's really i interesting. when we met the regions? it's really -
7:38 am
interesting. when we met with the regions? it's really _ interesting. when we met with the mayors, they weren't sitting there saying, we don't want new housing in our area. the very opposite. so again, ithink our area. the very opposite. so again, i think it can be a good partnership. i know these things can be controversial, of course they can. but the truth is it takes too long to get things built in the uk. and i'm notjust talking about housing. i'm talking about things like big factories, the development of the critical infrastructure that we need around our power grid and so on, these things can take far too long at the moment. but remember, there is a generation of young people who are wondering, when am i going to get the chance to have a home of my own, either for rent or for purchase? that, we used to think, was a very achievable aspiration for the british people. it has become a less achievable aspiration in recent years. we want
7:39 am
to make it more achievable. and to do that, we are going to have to build more houses than we have in recent years. it’s build more houses than we have in recent years-— recent years. it's one thing having devolved labour _ recent years. it's one thing having devolved labour mayor _ recent years. it's one thing having devolved labour mayor michaels l recent years. it's one thing having | devolved labour mayor michaels in sight, but isn't it a danger that in some areas you are going to have local planners feeling london is bulldozing its way through their local agenda? irate bulldozing its way through their local agenda?— bulldozing its way through their localaaenda? ., , local agenda? we want local planners to identify the — local agenda? we want local planners to identify the areas _ local agenda? we want local planners to identify the areas needed - local agenda? we want local planners to identify the areas needed for - to identify the areas needed for housing. we think they can do that. we look forward to working with them. but in the end we have to make it easier to get things built in the uk. because if we did nothing about this, if wejust uk. because if we did nothing about this, if we just stick with where we are at the moment, then nothing will change. and we weren't elected on a platform for changing nothing. the very opposite. the word change was on our manifesto. this is one of the changes that we talked about. we were very open about. they should be no surprises about this. it was something we talked about quite a lot during the election. and
7:40 am
something which you will see reflected in what we want to do. what will also be noted is what is not in there. so we know at the moment that a quarter of children in the uk are living in poverty. yesterday we talked about barnardos statistic which said one in ten children will not have a bed to sleep in tonight. if i was a parent with three children living on benefits i would be wanting to hear something about the child benefit cap. what would be in the speech for me? ~ �* . cap. what would be in the speech for me? ~ �* , ,,, . , cap. what would be in the speech for me? . me? well, the king's speech is about implementing — me? well, the king's speech is about implementing what _ me? well, the king's speech is about implementing what we _ me? well, the king's speech is about implementing what we said _ me? well, the king's speech is about implementing what we said we - me? well, the king's speech is about implementing what we said we would | implementing what we said we would do. people shouldn't expect it to implement the things that we didn't say we do. and on that issue, like on many other issues, where there might be a good case, we said throughout the election that we would have to take the economic inheritance that we have, that we have got, and that we wouldn't come forward with things if we couldn't
7:41 am
say how we are going to pay for them. we shouldn't expect a different answer from labour two weeks after the election on this, to the one that we give two weeks before the election. just the one that we give two weeks before the election.— before the election. just to be clear, before the election. just to be clear. you _ before the election. just to be clear, you are _ before the election. just to be clear, you are not _ before the election. just to be clear, you are not in _ before the election. just to be clear, you are not in a - before the election. just to be clear, you are not in a fiscal . clear, you are not in a fiscal position to lift that cap? irate clear, you are not in a fiscal position to lift that cap? we said this during _ position to lift that cap? we said this during the _ position to lift that cap? we said this during the election. - position to lift that cap? we said this during the election. it's - this during the election. it's really important that the viewers who watch the interviews with politicians like me, when we were asked this before the election, get the same answer after the election as they did before. this is not something we promised to do during the election. and i was personally asked about it quite a lot, as were many of my colleagues during the election. so what people should expect in the king's speech is the implementation of things we said we would do, not the implementation of things that we said we wouldn't do. people might be watching and saying, you are the labour party, it's time to have that big conversation about poverty, but also around public sector pay, doctors or pay is 15%
7:42 am
lower than it was in 2010, what is the plan going forward to deal with that? we the plan going forward to deal with that? ~ ,., , the plan going forward to deal with that? ~ , ., that? we will get reports from pay review bodies _ that? we will get reports from pay review bodies about _ that? we will get reports from pay review bodies about public - that? we will get reports from pay review bodies about public sector. review bodies about public sector pay and make our response to those in the coming weeks. we understand the pressures. i want people who do a good job for us, whether it is doctors, nurses, teachers, any public servant, to get a fair pay rise, to get a fair pay settlement. but like everything else, we also have to look at the broad public spending picture. we have inherited a situation which is the toughest of any government in living memory. these decisions are not easy. you have to take everything in the round. that is what we will do when we respond to the recommendations from the pay review bodies that recommend pay rates for the public sector. we recommend pay rates for the public sector. ~ ., ., ., sector. we waited to hear the outcome _ sector. we waited to hear the outcome of — sector. we waited to hear the outcome of the _ sector. we waited to hear the outcome of the king's - sector. we waited to hear the | outcome of the king's speech, sector. we waited to hear the - outcome of the king's speech, which takes place later this morning. pat mcfadden, thank you. later we will talk about that proposed
7:43 am
gradual ban in smoking, joined by fiona castle, the widow of roy castle, to talk about that. hugh joins us for the sport. lots of speculation, who is coming next for england? yes, shoes to fill that are not only sizeable but significant because of the work that gareth southgate did as england manager. the candidate has to be somebody who can provide all of that, so fitting those issues, and then provide more shoes, which are trophies. that's the difficulty! trophy shoes, if you will, made of silver, things that you can lift and cheer. and make out of aluminium foil at some point and have them in the stands. but they also have to be available, which is another issue the fma phase. they have to be good, they have to be available. do they have to be english? that is the big question we are now facing, as indeed we face every time the fa think about who best to manage the english team. it is quite a divisive
7:44 am
issue. people have pretty strong feelings about whether the england team should be run by an england manager. yes, the speculation has already started as to who might fill gareth southgate's boots. our reporter patrick gearey has been looking at some of the contenders, and the skills required to do what might be an enticing, if often labelled impossible, job. wanted, one nationalfigurehead, part tactician, party politician. should be skilled in both public relations and psychology, resilience essential, brilliance desired. gareth southgate reinvented what it is to be the england men's manager both on... another penalty shoot out is won! ..and off the pitch. it's been a couple of years where the country has been a little bit divided on certain things, and wondering which direction we're heading in. so, sport has the power to reach unite people. the question of who follows him has been on the football association's mind for some time. it's understood they are unlikely to restrict the process
7:45 am
to english candidates alone. so might they try and persuade the former liverpool managerjurgen klopp, currently on a break from football? orformer spurs and chelsea boss mauricio pochettino? there are englishmen in the frame — graham potter, or eddie howe of newcastle. and the successful under 21 coach lee carsley could step up, initially, like southgate did, in the short—term. what we have seen with gareth southgate is someone who, you know, takes care as much care about what the under 16s are doing as the senior team. and i think it's important that we have someone come in who gets that. i do think it is more of a risk to bring someone in who has never even worked in england, as we have done in the past. for all the adrenaline—drenched highs, there were also beer—soaked lows. southgate had cups thrown at him after a goalless draw against slovenia. some fans will expect a sunnier brand of football, and to take on the likes of theirfinal conquerors, spain. i think the fa needs to be the right person who will be best for a group of players
7:46 am
who gareth has, in his own words, taken as far as he can, and hope that we can get them to the next step, because when you look at spain, this young, unfancied side before the tournament, well, they are going to be around in another two, four years. so, the successful applicant will be expected to win a tournament, in style, while handling critics and crises. but gareth southgate has shown that being england manager need not necessarily be the impossible job. patrick geary, bbc news. of the home nations involved in qualifiers for the women's euros last night, the only team not to win was the one that secured a place at the finals in switzerland next year. defending champions england will be there after a goalless draw in sweden. scotland, northern ireland and wales all won, and now have play—offs to look forward to. our sports correspondent katie gornall reports from gothenberg. from the group of death, england have risen. it's been a challenging qualification campaign for sarina wiegman's side, but here in gothenburg they got the job done.
7:47 am
before, you knew sometimes when you went to the start of a game that you would win it, you just didn't know how much, which is actually not that competitive. and now it's really competitive, so, yeah, you can't hide any more. a draw here would be enough, but of his team, we were told, plays to win. georgia stanway came close closest in a first half england controlled. sweden improved — they had to. and hannah hampton, preferred in goal to mary earps, was tested. the game was still in england's grasp. for a moment, it nearly slipped out. one sweden goal would change everything. the pressure was relentless, but somehow england held on. their celebrations tempered with relief. now the european champions can look forward to defending their title in switzerland next year. and northern ireland, scotland and wales could stilljoin them. they were already guaranteed a place in the play—offs, and have ended the group stage on a high. in glasgow, kirsty hanson was on the mark for scotland against serbia as they finished top of their group. northern ireland improved their draw for the play—offs with a 2—0 win
7:48 am
over bosnia—herzegovina. and all eyes were onjess fishlock for wales as she became her country's top goal—scorer in their 2—0 win over kosovo. record—brea ker, history maker. katie gornall, bbc news, gothenburg. and now on the morning the mayor of paris isjumping into the river seine to illustrate how safe it is ahead of the olympics, the beds on which athletes will get their well—earned rest, have also faced a similar stress test. these beds were initially created for the tokyo games three years ago and are made of cardboard, so are, naturally, recyclable. once the games are over they'll be donated to charities. and as to their durability, well, the ceo of the company who designed them doesn't seem to have too many concerns. you are supposed to sleep on it and

7:50 am
tabitha's passionate about fashion design — inspiration strikes all of the time. but take a look at this stunning dress. incredibly, she made it from the old blinds in her classroom. i was literally looking around the room and i thought, "you know what? there's a lot of those that have fallen down, i wonder if..." and then i started sampling — just breaking them up and seeing how the material behaved. i made strips of material, and then connecting them — it gives it a lot more movement. and i also wanted, um, kind of a glamorous couture feel to it, which is kind of the theme of the outfit. this was the one that actually made me think, "yes, this will work." definitely. i was very sceptical. can you remember? yeah, i think we both were. and tabitha's unique inspiration has paid off because she's now one of ten young designers chosen to represent the uk at the world junk kouture finals — a global sustainable fashion—competition. i was blown away. she is a real talent, and she goes above and beyond in her school work, in things that she does
7:51 am
outside of school. sojust to see this kind of all come together with this really exciting piece, i couldn't be prouder, i love it. these parts are the curtain weights. and so there's, like, this part. tabitha's friends have always known and admired her love of fashion, so it's come as no surprise how successful she's been. i think it's really cool. i think the structure - is just really imaginative, and i love the way it moves. woo! absolutely incredible, how she's used every single bit of the curtain — like, notjust the blind, but the little beads and the weights, as well. i think it's, like, spectacular. it's amazing how much she's got out ofjust, like, such a basic thing, but she's spent so much time on it and so it's, like, absolutely incredible. it'sjust mad because there were so many people in it, | and it's mad that there's someone, like, from our school that's- actually got through. so, early next year, tabitha will be heading to a mystery european destination for the glitzy junk kouture finals — last year it was in monaco — and her dress has already impressed the team. i think the overall silhouette really shouts at couture, like it's fit for the runway in itself — you could see someone
7:52 am
like zendaya rocking that outfit at an award ceremony or, you know, on a red carpet. and i think what tabitha has created is absolutely beautiful, and shows the potential of recycling materials when it comes to creating couture fashion. it's quite a lot of work that has gone into it, so to kind of have that recognised is really... it kind ofjust makes it feel more of a rewarding experience. so the glamorous final awaits next year, with all eyes on tabitha's design — showing that sustainable fashion can often be surprising. steve knibbs, bbc news. she is one to watch. you saw here first. tabatha, the name. and hearings, fantastic. maybe we could start brainstorming.

matt has got some new weather. i have ended. good morning. i have been recycling spring in recent weeks. but at long last, for a few days at least, it will feel like summer across the uk. humidity levels going to build, heat as well for some. a bit of a change. only temporary but it is a change nonetheless. thejet temporary but it is a change nonetheless. the jet stream temporary but it is a change nonetheless. thejet stream is moving to the north of the uk in the next few days. we are going to start to drive air of the way from north africa and iberia. that plume of hot air will push across parts of the uk as we go through the next few days. what does that mean in terms of temperatures? they are said to peak on friday. we could cede 30 celsius in the south east, widely mid 20s, lower for scotland and northern ireland. especially in those areas that have been dry so far this month. in the west things will turn wetter at times. out there today a really pleasant summer day. there is the cloud that broke yesterday's
7:54 am
rain. in between we have got a window of fine weather. mist and fog patches clear in many areas. more cloud in northern ireland and the west of scotland bringing in some drizzle. that will clear. some sunny spells. lots of sunshine. parts of scotland, northern england and the midlands, the outside chance of a light shower. the vast majority staying dry. temperatures of 20 to 24 staying dry. temperatures of 20 to 2a degrees, levels we should be at at this stage injuly. a big change. into tonight, some rain arrives in western scotland and northern ireland, it may be the art shower as well and the isle of man. many of the south and east will be dry. the knights will get a good deal warmer as well. a warm start to tomorrow morning. a lot more cloud to the north and west of the uk, outbreaks of rain and drizzle. other areas
7:55 am
will see the sunshine break through. 21 on the moray coast, more widely mid 20s across many parts of england and wales. another humid night to get us into friday. this would be the warmest day of the week. more brightness for scotland and northern ireland compared to thursday. the chance of a few showers here. more persistent rain in the western isles later. sunshine in the midlands and wales for a time. widely into the mid 20s from south—east scotland onwards correct right —— southwards. this is the change. it comes in unfortunately during the weekend. saturday, particularly in the west, would see outbreaks of rain, perhaps a thunderstorm. there is the chance that central and eastern areas will stay largely dry as we go into saturday. just how quickly that pushes eastwards depends on the temperatures. at the moment we are looking at the low to mid 20s and eastern parts. could be higher than
7:56 am
that. in the west temperatures will drop back to 17 or 18 degrees. back to normal drop back to 17 or 18 degrees. back to normalfrom drop back to 17 or 18 degrees. back to normalfrom sunday drop back to 17 or 18 degrees. back to normalfrom sunday onwards. whatever normal means. exactly. irate whatever normal means. exactly. we know exactly what normal means. thank you. footage of people risking their lives by ignoring stop signs at level crossings has been released by national rail. it's hoped it'll act as a warning of the school summer holidays. in one video, a boy and girl are seen running over a crossing in sussex, narrowly avoiding being struck by a fast oncoming train. sean killick reports. a level crossing at chertsey in surrey — the barrier�*s coming down, but a lorry drives across anyway — though too late to clear the opposite barrier. it's trapped. a passenger hurriedly forces up the metal barrier. the lorry squeezes under, but rips it off, and they drive away.
7:57 am
meanwhile, last month, outside a station near chichester, a train departs and two people decide to cross — but blocked from view, another train is approaching. the pair suddenly sprint — a split second from death. that last incident was here at fishbourne, where network rail staff still can't believe the risk the pair took. the level crossing was down, they weren't aware of the other train, approaching and that train almost struck them — they were within seconds of being struck by that train, so they weren't aware of the dangers and so it was very scary for us to see that footage, and therefore even more important that we raise awareness of this risk to members of the public. we see a number of different behaviours. some of them are individuals playing chicken on the railway orjust really taking significant risks, either in vehicles — sometimes it's people walking dogs — you know, really uncontrolled situations. there has been sort of a 31% increase in the number of near—misses, so this is where people have come very, very close to being killed or struck by a train at level crossings. and so that increase is what we're
7:58 am
really concerned about, and why we want to be making sure that our message is out there. in another incident, two cyclists both jumped the red light at a crossing with what could have been tragic consequences. network rail says it's investing more in safety at level crossings — including warnings, lights and cameras — and is launching a campaign to coincide with the school summer holidays. we see incidents of misuse all year round, but especially in holiday periods, and that's why we are launching the campaign today — really to make children and their parents aware of some of the dangers associated with the railway at this time of year. for children and everyone, in departure, they have this message. we have fast trains moving sometimes up to 140 miles an hour. we have the third rail, which is electric, which is on all of the time and can cause death or serious injury. and we have level crossings that are designed to keep people safe. so just follow those safety systems at each level crossing — it's very clear when you need to wait, and those extra few minutes can save lives. shaun killick, bbc news.
7:59 am
0h, oh, my goodness me. takes your breath away every time. it really does. take care, everybody. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, and a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. the parents of a nine—year—old girl who was shot outside a restaurant in dalston seven weeks ago say she's still in a critical condition and they don't know whether she'll ever be able to speak or move properly again. three men were also injured in the shooting on the 29th of may. detectives say there's a potential link with turkish organised and this morning have said they need to trace a motorcyclist who was at the scene and who they've described as dangerous. a man has been taken to hospital and four others treated at the scene after reports of a chemical incident at a block of flats in fulham overnight. eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters were called
8:00 am
to the five—storey building on landridge road. crews wearing breathing equipment helped residents evacuate the property. the cause is under investigation. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. today should see a mixture of sunshine, areas of cloud, and a few isolated and light showers. there'll be a top temperature of 2a degrees celsius. nowjust before i go — we all know pets can be comforting, but if you head to our website you can read about marley — the very special london cat who's been helping women who've been trafficked. he's now a finalist in this year's national cat awards. now it's back to nina and jon. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast
8:01 am
withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today. a new energy company, railway nationalisation and planning reform — all set to feature in the labour government's first king's speech. inflation stays at 2% injune, but prices for services remain stubbornly high. while food price rises have slowed down a lot compared to what we have seen over the last couple of years, it is those price pressures on things like travel and leisure that have stopped the bank of england from cutting interest rates. so when will the cost of borrowing come down? emily campbell, can she hold it? yes, she can! she won silver at the tokyo olympics — now emily campbell is going for gold in paris. we'll hear how she's inspiring a new generation to do the same. gareth southgate calls it a day, so now who might replace him as england manager? the fa's search won't be limited to english candidates, with plenty of big names potentially
8:02 am
on their radar. and a lovely summers day today from many but we will see a bit more clouds gather across the north and west over the next couple of days. at the same time, heat and humidity builds to the south and east. somewhere on friday could hit 30 degrees. i will have the details. it's wednesday the 17th ofjuly. our main story. king charles will officially open parliament today — with a speech outlining what the new government plans to do in the coming year. it will contain details of draft bills on issues including illegal migration, nationalisation of the railways and a move to end smoking. our political correspondent helen catt has the story. fanfare. this was the king arriving for last year's king's speech. then, it was a conservative government which wrote the words he read out. this time it will be labour's programme for the coming year. sir keir starmer says its central focus will be
8:03 am
on growing the economy. in total, we're told, more than 35 bills are set to be announced in this speech. there will be a bill to take the railways into public ownership as franchises expire, a bill to speed up house—building by changing the planning system, and an english devolution bill to transfer some powers from westminster to local areas. it's thought a gradual ban on smoking — originally proposed by rishi sunak — could also be included, along with replacements for other bills that have been going through parliament under the tories. and martyn's law — which was promised, but never put before mps. named after martyn hett, who died in the manchester arena bombing, it would require venues and local authorities to have preventative plans in place against terror attacks. i think it's time that the legislation happens. i think people — the general public — don't know that they're actually not safe when they're out and about. and i feel that everybody who enjoys what this country offers in terms
8:04 am
of freedom and all the stuff people do to go and entertain themselves and live their life — i want people to know that they have the right to come home at night. labour also promised legislation to give new rights to workers in its first 100 days, and to set up a firm called gb energy to invest in renewable power. so it's thought there are likely to be laws to deliver those measures. but one thing that won't be in the speech is changing the rule that limits child benefit to just two children. the snp, the greens, and some labour backbenchers think it should be — and plan to try to add it, although they are unlikely to succeed. not every bill read out by the king later will necessarily make it into law in this parliamentary session, but the speech will show what the government's priorities are. a ceremony dating back hundreds of years, setting out the vision of a government that's been in power
8:05 am
forjust a handful of days. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is outside parliament. a few hours from the big speech. pat mcfadden earlier saying this would be a chance to outline promises from the manifesto and not to expect many surprises. i the manifesto and not to expect many surrises. ~ the manifesto and not to expect many surrises. ,, ., , surprises. i think that is right. durinu surprises. i think that is right. during the _ surprises. i think that is right. during the general— surprises. i think that is right. during the general election i during the general election campaign, and in the four years in campaign, and in the fouryears in which he has campaign, and in the four years in which he has been leader of the labour party, keir starmer has been trying to give us and the country a flavour of what he is all about. today, we will get a sense of what he wants to do and what he wants to do first because this is not the government agenda for the next four orfive years, this is government agenda for the next four or five years, this is the agenda for its first year or 18 months in office. it is the priorities and what will be at the height of that will beat housing and planning, i
8:06 am
think. genuinely quite radical but potentially very controversial changes to how housing projects and building project more generally get approved. potentially reducing the ability of local residents to object to building works in their areas. that could prove quite significant. we will have other measures on all sets of issues, things like devolution, giving more powers to local leaders. legislation on the railways making it easierfor the labour government to bring them back into public ownership as franchises expire. all sorts of significant legislation that this labour government will be saying is their priority. things that will not be in it, when he spoke to pat mcfadden, senior labour cabinet minister, a little while ago, it was pretty clear that they will be no change of position on the controversial two child benefit cap. that will disappoint some labour mps but fundamentally keir starmer has such a massive majority he can afford to disappoint some labour mps. and then there is other things that are not
8:07 am
about legislation. things like public sector pay, what will labour do on that? we will have to find out soon. universities warning off bankruptcy. not everything in government is about laws, but lots of it is, and today we will find out what keir starmer's first batch i going to be. in what keir starmer's first batch i going to be— what keir starmer's first batch i going to be. in 'ust a few hours. hen , going to be. in 'ust a few hours. henry. thank— going to be. in just a few hours. henry, thank you. _ going to be. in just a few hours. henry, thank you. jon _ going to be. in just a few hours. henry, thank you. jon has - going to be. in just a few hours. henry, thank you. jon has a - going to be. in just a few hours. - henry, thank you. jon has a round-up henry, thank you. jon has a round—up of the day's of the news and we begin with economic update. in the last hour, the latest uk inflation figures have been revealed by the office for national statistics. in the 12 months tojune this year, inflation remained unchanged from the previous month at 2%. ben has the details. in terms of what we buy at the shops, and services. good morning. good morning. we had that figure in the last hour or so that showed inflation, the measure of how quickly prices are rising, on average for all sorts of goods and services we typically spend our
8:08 am
money on. across all categories, the inflation rate was 2% injune, meaning things on average are 2% more expensive injune than 12 months earlier. but when you drill down into the detail, yes, that is the bank of england to target, but when you look specifically at services, which makes up the biggest part of the economy, things like leisure, hospitality, travel, retail, that is still at a significantly higher rate and the bank of england will be worried that if it cuts interest rates too soon, price pressures would then come back and we would see inflation being stoked once more. the reason they look at these separate measures is because you have some volatile price changes, things like food and energy, which can vary quite wildly in a short space of time. things like the weather can affect the price of food products, like we have here at the wholesale markets near heathrow. strip that out i do get a
8:09 am
bit of a better idea about the underlying direction and health of the economy. that is why you may wonder why the bank hasn't cut interest rates yet. it is waiting to see if those price pressures consistently across the economy stay at a comfortable level notjust for businesses but also for consumers. ben, thank you. borisjohnson has described the attempt on donald trump's life as "shameful" after meeting him at the republican party convention in milwaukee. the former prime minister said that in their 30—minute meeting, mrtrump assured him that he would stand firm against aggression in ukraine — if he wins the election in november. the foreign office says it's helping the families of two british men reported missing in sweden — after a pair of bodies was found in a burned—out car in malmo. the victims have not yet been identified. the bbc has confirmed that strictly come dancing contestants will now have chaperones accompanying them to rehearsals. it follows complaints by contestant zara mcdermott about what she calls
8:10 am
"distressing incidents" with her dancing partner, graziano di prima. he said he deeply regrets the events which led to his departure from the show. his fellow professional giovanni pernice has also left, denying allegations about his own teaching methods. the mayor of paris, anne hidalgo, will swim in the river seine today — in an attempt to prove the water is fit to be used in the olympic games, which starts next week. our paris correspondent hugh schofield is there this morning. he is thereby the river to witness what happens. what will we see indeed. well... i don't know if you can see, it is a long way away, we are being kept back through these barriers but there is a lot of activity. we are on the right bank, and in an hour orso, anne activity. we are on the right bank, and in an hour or so, anne hidalgo, the mayor, will come with tony
8:11 am
estanguet, the president of the olympic organising committee, and they will get into the water down there, as you say, to show that it is clean. because there has been a lot of speculation, a lot of worry that it wouldn't be clean. over and again in the last weeks there have been these readings are showing that the level of bacteria in the water is too high, and so all the plans for running the triathlon, the swimming events, in the water, the swimming events, in the water, the swimming marathon in the water of the seine, it looks to be in jeopardy and there was no alternative, they would have to scrap these events. luckily in the last few days the weather has improved, which means that the level of bacteria has gone down and so to show the world and all the athletes coming here that it is fine to swim, she will get in. i hope i will be able to follow her. apparently i have authorisation so i am hoping to dip my feet in the river, as well, and become one of the first in over and become one of the first in over a century to legally swim in the

8:13 am
since vaughan gething came into power as first minister and welsh labour leader, there were a number of members not happy with the circumstances that he came in, accepting and donation for someone —— from someone twice convicted of environ mental offences. then when vaughan gething sacked a member of his cabinet for allegedly leaking information to media outlets, that cause further divide. and yesterday when he finally stood down after four members of his cabinet stood down in protest, asking for him to 9°. down in protest, asking for him to go, you then get former first ministers and members of the labour party saying that this has been... they are very angry he has had to stand down and this has been a concentrated effort against him, so i think what will be difficult is finding a candidate from welsh labour that can unify them ahead of the election in the senedd in two years, and that will be so pivotal because even though they do quite well here, the general election just a couple of weeks ago, the popularity within wales has taken a hit because of some controversial

8:17 am
with an eye on this one? another highly rated english coach expected to be on the fa's shortlist is eddie howe — although luring him away from newcastle could prove difficult — they've said they'll fight to keep him. and is this southgate mark ii? england's under—21s coach lee carsley has been successful, and would be an obvious candidate if an interim coach was needed. the fa, however, aren't ruling out a foreign coach — so how about the argentine mauricio pochettino? he lives in london and has had severaljobs in england. he's also available after leaving chelsea in may. jurgen klopp is another illustrious name out of work, having left liverpool — but the availability might be an issue here. he said he wanted to take a break — a long break. and if you're aiming high, why not consider pep guardiola while you're at it? the fa say they are committed to hiring the best — but the manchester city manager has a contract until next year. whoever takes over has a hard act to follow. southgate will be remembered
8:18 am
as the man who restored the credibility of the england team — for so long a symbol of sporting underachievement — during his eight years in charge. and with just two years until the next world cup, it will now fall to his replacement to try build on that progress and try secure that illusive major trophy. we're joined now by the liverpool and england legend john barnes. good morning. great to see you. big shoes to fill. who would you choose? well, first of all, these top premier league managers are earning four times what the england manager and so the idea that they have the money to do it, they don't. jurgen klopp, pep guardiola, earning five times what the england manager earns. ifeel you should get times what the england manager earns. i feel you should get the best available person because she will not get the best available person because she will not ae- , , best available person because she willnotue- , , , ., will not get the best person for the 'ob. the will not get the best person for the job the best _ will not get the best person for the job. the best person _ will not get the best person for the job. the best person for _ will not get the best person for the job. the best person for the - will not get the best person for the

hello and a very good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. the parents of a nine—year—old girl who was shot outside a restaurant in dalston seven weeks ago, say she's still in a critical condition and they don't know whether she'll ever be able to speak or move properly again. three men were also injured in the shooting on the 29th of may. detectives say there's a potential link with turkish organised crime, and this morning have said they need to trace a motorcyclist who was at the scene and who they've described as dangerous. a man has been taken to hospital and four others treated at the scene after reports of a chemical incident at a block of flats in fulham overnight. eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters were called to the five storey building on landridge road. crews wearing breathing equipment helped residents evacuate the property. the cause is under investigation. a mother whose son was killed
8:29 am
in north london 22 years ago, says she's been failed by the police and justice system. no—one's ever been charged over the stabbing of 20—year—old jonathan mcmurray, in wood green in 2002. his mother sandra says she's only recently discovered that his case was classed as inactive nine years ago. he's present and missed every day. yeah, yeah. not having closure, not having justice for him, and closure, that's the worst thing for a mother to go through. the police and the justice system failed us. they failed us had. the met says the investigation is in "an inactive phase" but that "no unsolved murder is ever closed", and detectives will consider any new information. a new report says london must better prepare for severe floods and heatwaves. the london climate resilience review, commissioned by the mayor, called for a "reset moment" following the general election. it highlighted opportunities for investment in london but warned that time was running out.

8:32 am
department of health and social care, 80,000 people across the uk die each year due to smoking. it is still the single largest preventable cause of death in england. and it's responsible for one in four of all cancer deaths it's estimated to cost the economy and wider society £17 billion per year. that's in lost earnings, early death, unemployment, and costs to the nhs and social care services. we're joined now by fiona castle, wife of the entertainer roy castle, who died from lung cancer in 1994 despite never have been a smoker. we can also say hello to sue mountain, a cancer survivor who started smoking at the age of 11, and doctor sakthi karunanithi, director of public health at lancashire county council.

8:42 am
national statistics telling us the rate at which prices are rising. in the 12 months tojune this year inflation remained unchanged at 2%. ben has the details. on the surface of it that sounds like good news but we all know that things are still feeling pretty stretched? yes, and it is never as simple as we would like it to be. good morning. welcome to the western international market near heathrow. it isa it is a business presenter�*s train. it is a business presenter�*s train. it is a business presenter�*s train. it is also a plane spotter�*s dream. it is also a plane spotter�*s dream. i have been watching the planes as they come into land. produce from all over the world comes here. we have melons from spain. we don't talk about spain after the weekend. what we do talk about though is inflation. as we found out this morning, inflation, the change in prices on average for goods and services in the economy, was at 2% injune. that
8:43 am
is the same level of price rises, the same suite of price rises, as the same suite of price rises, as the previous one. crucially, 2% is the previous one. crucially, 2% is the bank of england target. that is where it likes inflation to be. people may be wondering if inflation is now a target, why is the bank not cutting interest rates? interest rates, of course, would bring down the cost of borrowing and the cost of mortgages and loans and so on. the reason for that is you have to drill down to core inflation, which strips out things like energy and food, the really volatile things, to get a better picture. it is like assessing the speed of cars on the motorway and just looking at the middle lane. let's get an expert to take. we have nina here with us, an economics forecaster. what you make of this inflation figure? ads, forecaster. what you make of this inflation figure?— inflation figure? a hugely surprising _ inflation figure? a hugely surprising set _ inflation figure? a hugely surprising set of -
