good morning. for many of us today we are going to see sunny spells, variable cloud and the odd shower. but later, the cloud will thicken in the west introducing patchy rain. details later in the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, 24thjuly. seven labour mps have been suspended from the party for six months, after they rebelled against the government over the two—child benefit cap. it's the first big test of sir keir starmer�*s authority as prime minister. he's said it's unaffordable at the moment to scrap the cap, but he was defied by a group of mps who backed a call from the scottish national party for it to be lifted. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. the ayes were 103, the noes were 363. so the noes have it, the noes have it. unlock. less than three weeks in power, the new government has had its first rebellion.

it was small, but the prime minister has responded with his first show of force. mps have been debating the king's speech, keir starmer�*s plan for his first months in power. it included almost a0 bills, but nothing about overturning a controversial conservative policy limiting some benefits to the first two children in most low income families. last night, the snp forced a vote on scrapping the two—child cap, saying it was pushing people into poverty, and a small number of labour mps backed them. the single most effective way of tackling child poverty is immediately lifting 300,000 children out of poverty by scrapping this cruel policy. here are the seven, including the former shadow chancellor john mcdonnell, and rebecca long—bailey, who stood against keir starmer for the labour leadership. they have now been told they are being suspended from the labour party

in parliament for six months. the government argues it would be expensive to scrap the two—child benefit cap, and it says it wants to be careful with the country's finances. i strongly support the removal of the two—child cap. this government is less than three weeks in, and it has a pretty terrible economic inheritance. and i do think they need to be given time and space to be able to look at things in the round. the emphasis should be on, you know, unity and giving the government that space to bring forward their thinking. i now call the prime minister, sir keir starmer. _ cheering. but many more labour mps want a change of heart, and for the government to scrap the two—child benefit cap, so this issue is unlikely to disappear. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now from westminster. good morning, henry. this is an early show of authority

and force from the prime minister? ruthless, i think that is the word that will spring to mind for so many in the labour party. it is a word that sir keir starmer has embraced. in opposition he boasted he was willing to be ruthless to change the labour party. and clearly in government he intends to continue in very much the same vein. there will be people around keir starmer who say actually, this isn't really about ruthlessness. he hasn't picked about ruthlessness. he hasn't picked a fight with the left. 0n the contrary, you have at the left of the labour party decide notjust a rebel in one of the earliest votes of his premiership, but these seven mps deciding to rebel on the king's speech, his programme for the first 18 months in government. it doesn't get more important than that, they would argue. in normal times, with a government with a normal sized majority, i think i would say, it might be ruthless, but it is storing up might be ruthless, but it is storing up trouble for keir starmer. further down the line when he needs is mps

they might decide he has taken them for granted. i don't think that is necessarily the case when he has a majority as colossal as he does, where many of the mps who make up that majority are new mps who are really supportive of the direction of his labour party. i think if there is a problem that keir starmer is storing up here it might be more outside parliament, because we saw it that even as labour has built a majority, there are challenges from the left in certain constituencies around the country. but that is a problem for the four or five years down the line. in the meantime keir starmer could suspend more mps if he wanted and it would barely touch the sides of his majority. henry zeffman live in westminster. jon is more on a developing story we are bringing you this morning. a soldier has been seriously injured after being stabbed close to brompton army barracks in gillingham yesterday afternoon. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. 0ur reporter aruna

which she said showed her making an "error ofjudgement". chetan has the details. charlotte dujardin was on the brink of becoming britain's most decorated female 0lympian of all time. she's one of the most recognised names because of her success in dressage — the oldest equestrian discipline, which sees the rider and horse perform a series of movements to music. a medal, of any colour in paris, would have been her seventh, and moved her ahead of cyclist dame laura kenny into the outright lead. but she will not be competing. she's pulled out after a video from several years ago emerged, allegedly showing her beating a horse excessively with a whip during a training session at her private stable. charlotte dujardin was the first to put out a statement yesterday, saying: "what happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how i train my horses or coach my pupils. however, there is no excuse. i am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment." bbc sport has not seen the video in question. following charlotte dujardin's withdrawal, equestrian's governing body, the fei,

put out a statement saying they received a video on monday showing "ms dujardin engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare." it was submitted by a lawyer representing an undisclosed complainant. charlotte dujardin is now provisionally suspended by the fei, british equestrian and british dressage until the outcome of the investigation. they all say they take equine welfare extremely seriously. the lawyer representing the claimant says their client had to think long and hard about whether to bring the video to attention now, and understands it could have far—reaching consequences. james cleverly has become the first person to declare their candidacy in the contest to replace rishi sunak as conservative party leader. in a video post on social media, the shadow home secretary said he believed he could unite the tory party. several more candidates are expected tojoin the race before nominations close next monday. the new leader will be

alongside personal challenges. the sovereign grant of £86.3 million funds the running costs of the monarchy. new figures reveal around £800,000 of it were spent on the coronation, covering everything from staffing to the modification of the crown jewels. travel remains a major outgoing. the state visit to kenya, this year's most expensive trip, atjust over £166,000. the royal train was used just once lastjune, for a two—day trip to yorkshire. that cost £52,000. its use will be kept under review. helicopters remain widely deployed, with palace officials saying they are a key component of travel plans. two new ones will replace older models in the coming year, but the accounts also show more

money being spent on sustainability. the state bentleys will be converted to run on biofuel. eventually, all royal cars will be fully electric. work on windsor castle saw a leaky lead roof replaced with the castle's first solar panels. and more sustainable aviation fuel will be used on aircraft carrying the royal family. the multi—million pound modernisation of buckingham palace is ongoing, helped by a profit boost from the crown estate. latest accounts show the monarch's land and property portfolio made a profit of £1.1 billion last year, some of which will continue to fund the palace work. how are you feeling? the royal accounts note the cancer diagnosis for the king and the princess of wales, and its impact on the royal postbag. 138,000 items of correspondence had to be processed. the vast majority were get well messages or coronation congratulations.

these annual financial reports are the best insight we have into the cost of the royal family. the figures don't include security, which is a significant expense, but they do give us an idea of where the family's priorities lie. for the prince of wales, that focus will continue to be on tackling homelessness, supporting mental health initiatives, and his earthshot environmental prize. senior officials in the prince's household also explained some differences between the way father and son work. the king, they said, likes to pick up a phone and call people, whereas his son is more likely to send a whatsapp message. daniela relph, bbc news, buckingham palace. more likely to send a whatsapp message, you may be? probably. you like a phone call.

yes, i'm very old—fashioned. carol is the weather. good morning. good morning. forsome carol is the weather. good morning. good morning. for some of us it is quite a humid start to the day. as we go through the day for most of us we go through the day for most of us we will see some sunny spells, at least at some stage. there is the chance of the odd shower, but the cloud thickens towards the west introducing showery rain. this morning there is low cloud, mist and mark in the bristol area. that will lift through the morning. as temperatures rise, parts of eastern england could see showers. they will be isolated. the cloud thickening in the west in the afternoon. weather front some rain, which will be heavy and more persistent in south wales and more persistent in south wales and south—west england. as a result it will be as warm in the west. further east if you are in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm, with highs up to 25 or 26. this evening and overnight at the

weather front gathers pace and pushes from the west towards the east. most of the rain will be light. we could see heavier rain across the north of scotland. 0ne across the north of scotland. one thing you will notice tonight as we have imported more humid air. a more uncomfortable night to sleep in. tomorrow we start off on a cloudy note with patchy rain. if anything it is going to pep up across the english channel, the channel islands and the southern counties of england, possibly getting into central and southern england through the day. temperature wise, 15 to central and southern england through the day. temperature wise, 15 to 22. thank you. the family of an eight month—old baby and his auntie, who were killed in a motorway crash, are calling for mandatory life driving bans for those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. drunk and travelling at speeds of more than 140mph, darryl anderson was jailed for 17 years and banned from driving for 21 and a half years.

but the family of zackary blades and karlene warner say he should never be allowed behind the wheel again. abi smitton reports. yeah! eight month—old zackary blades. a little boy who never got the chance to grow up. he'd started saying �*mama' as well. um, didn't get to say �*dada'. he was killed, alongside his aunt karlene, in a horrific crash on the a1 in county durham in may. i didn't realise how loved she was until she was gone. karlene's sister, shalorna, zackary�*s mum, had gone to pick her up from newcastle airport. zack was in the back seat. and she was so excited to see zack, because she'd not seen him for a while, and she was like, "do you want me to sit in the back with him? isaid, "no, no, he's all right, he's asleep." she sat in the front with me. and we just travelled back,

just pretty much chatting the whole time about the holiday. this man, darryl anderson, had also been on a flight. he'd been drinking, but chose to get behind the wheel of his car. he was spotted driving at speeds of 140mph, taking photos of himself behind the wheel. he rammed into their car, killing zack and karlene instantly. i've just got back off holiday. this was recorded just minutes after he hit them. what's that saying? so, i'll have to fail. you were going 95. wham — 95 — the legal limit is 35. is it? yeah. at the police station, he tried to claim another person had been driving. so ijumped in passenger, he's in driving seat and we've set off. um, i think he went wrong way to start with. and then ijust fell asleep. i woke up when we're crashing. he soon back—pedalled on those claims, pleading guilty to death by dangerous driving. i've, i've, i've drove into the back of another car. yeah? but i'm not a bad person.

in court earlier this month, he was jailed for 17 years and was given a 21 and a half year driving ban. he had three choices, he did, that night, didn't he, nigel? yeah. he decided to drink. he decided to put his foot down on the car to do 140 mile an hour. he decided to take a picture of that. he decided to kill people. he's chose. there's no difference from using a gun. yeah, and for his reckless driving. there was three bullets fired. two killed two innocent lives, one went through our family's heart. zack and karlene's family have now launched a petition calling for anyone convicted of death by dangerous driving to also be handed a lifetime ban, that would prevent them from ever getting behind the wheel again. and no—one should have to go through what we've gone through. and if we can stop that next person, make them think twice, then we've done some good, and karlene and zack's lives were more than that.

um, so pleasejoin us now in our justice for zackary and karlene. and we will not stop. i will fight every single day that i'm on this earth for them. shalorna warner speaking at the end of that report, mum of zackary blades and sister of karlene warner, who were killed in that horrific crash. we'll be speaking to shalorna and her sister lareesa at 08:15. let's take a look at today's papers. the main photo on severalfront pages, including the daily telegraph, is of british dressage champion charlotte dujardin, who withdrew from the paris 0lympics, and was later suspended from the sport, after a video prompted concerns around horse welfare. it is something we will talk about this morning. the guardian leads with us politics, as kamala harris appeared at her first campaign rally. she told the crowd in wisconsin, "we will win this election." the times features the story

about the royal household adopting a string of environmentally friendly measures, including having the king's two state bentleys converted to run on biofuel within the next year. the apology from the bbc�*s director general over complaints of abusive behaviour on strictly come dancing makes the front page of the daily mirror. tim davie said sorry to contestants, but confirmed the show would return in the autumn. and look at this gorgeous photo. a pair of three—month—old cheetah cubs with their mum darcy. they are so cute. the cubs have come out into public view for the first time, and have been exploring their reserve at yorkshire wildlife park. 0h, oh, i 0h, ithink oh, i think i want one. give ita oh, i think i want one. give it a couple of years. i am not sure you will want one of those on

the rug by the fire. maybe a couple of weeks! they are really gorgeous. 0ur maybe a couple of weeks! they are really gorgeous. our first glimpse. let's go back in time. now, does this bring back memories? in the late 1980s, the new acid house music scene was emerging. thousands of party—goers attended illegal raves in disused warehouses, and the smiley face symbol was everywhere. now a new immersive exhibition, using virtual reality, is taking people back to the second summer of love 1989, as ben sidwell reports. acid house music plays. it really took me back, being there in 1989. it was a national moment and itjust brought thousands and thousands of people together. probably the last real sort of - cultural revolution in this country. and i think it's a story. that deserves to be told.

it's a journey back to 1989 and the heart of the rave scene, telling the stories of those from the west midlands who were at the forefront of a musical revolution, in the early days of acid house. it's more like being in a documentary experience. it's almost like a film experience, where you are in that film, you're able to interact, the documentary is all around you, and you're on a journey. you're on a journey to discover an illegal acid house party in 1989. the pirate radio stations would sort of be like a line of communication for the promoters. this is in pursuit of repetitive beats, an interactive and immersive virtual reality exhibition at the birmingham museum and art gallery. i tell you what, this is incredibly immersive. it does feel like you're back in a warehouse in 1989. probably the closest i'm ever going to get to time travel. but don't take my word for it. have a look yourself.

visitors are transported back to the height of the rave scene in coventry, a time without social media and mobile phones, where flyers, secret phone numbers and word of mouth would lead you to huge illegal warehouse raves, with the story told by those who were there in 1989. it was very underground, it was very word of mouth. you know, you didn't have mobile phones. things weren't advertised in the way that they are today. but yeah, the actual experience of being in the space and, you know, in front of three, four 5,000 people wasjust incredible at the time. soon as i said the first thing, like, um, "party people - in the house", and the whole crowd is going mentat _ amazing, absolutely magical. um, just really reminded me of what it used to be like to go out, and just a really special experience. it was fantastic, really took me back. in pursuit of repetitive beats

is on at the birmingham museum and art gallery until september the 1st, before it heads out on a national tour. ben sidwell, bbc news. virtual glow sticks! that is going to be really popularfor virtual glow sticks! that is going to be really popular for people of a certain vintage. maybe if you missed out first time round, you can try it out first time round, you can try it out now. later in the programme, we'll chat to bez from the happy mondays about how influential the acid house scene was. that's coming up at 08:40. he is probably still there. what are his memories? limited. and we'd love you to share your memories with us. there are lots of ways to get in touch with us at bbc breakfast. we love to see some pictures. thank goodness there were no camera phones. even you can't find pictures, jon. you would be surprised. we will show

you some pictures later. to get in touch. i am going to watch what you are doing now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm luxmy gopal. a bbc investigation has found the percentage of people who failed to pay the dart charge on time rose after a change in provider a year ago. the proportion of crossings not paid for on time went up from 6% to 8% according to data obtained through a freedom of information request. many of those who've contacted the bbc say they were fined despite having a dart charge account. for stuart randall the fines came at a very difficult time for his family. so unfortunately the mother—in—law passed away in august and then we had obviously the funeral in september. and then unfortunately again after that, her dad passed away as well in september as well,

so we were doing trips down to kent to sort out family stuff. national highways said "more than 94% ofjourneys using the dartford crossing are paid correctly and on time and we work hard to help people avoid a penalty wherever possible." a woman who was given the freedom of the city of london for her disability campaigning says it's "absurd" she was unable to collect the award on stage because she wasn't offered an accessible ramp. anna landre says she was fighting back tears during the ceremony on friday at mansion house. the city of london corporation said it "offered its sincerest apologies to her" for the inaccessible stage. it turned an honour into an indignity, which was really disappointing and i had this moment of how do i react to this, do i make a scene? do i leave, do i deal with it? but it really struck me that if i don't address it,

it's going to keep happening. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a part closure on the overground betwen hackney downs and chingford, severe delays on the piccadilly line and the elizabeth line is suspended between abbey wood and paddington. minor delays on the circle line. now onto the weather with kawser. hi there, good morning. well, it's quite a cloudy start for some of us but we are expecting lots of sunshine breaking through the cloud today, especially later in the afternoon, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers as well. if you do catch one of these showers, they may be quite sharp in places but a lot of dry weather in between, especially into the afternoon and warm too as temperatures widely reach the mid 20s with lighter winds. a fine evening to come for many with any shower dying out but overnight tonight, some thicker cloud spreads in from the west and this is thick enough for some outbreaks of showery rain in places. and temperatures quite mild and muggy, dipping no lowerthan 15

to 17 celsius in towns and cities. looking ahead, there's no we are expecting this frontal system looking ahead, thursday we are expecting this frontal system to arrive in and this will bring some outbreaks of rain. some uncertainty with how much rain we are likely to see but there might be some persistent outbreaks for a time during the afternoon. and it will be a bit fresher as well. looking ahead to friday and the weekend, much more in the way of drier weather, some good spells of sunshine and quite warm as well. i'll have more news travel and weather updates for you in around half an hour, but for now it's back hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. whether you choose curry sauce, tartar sauce or mushy peas, you might have noticed the price of your usual fish and chips order is increasing. that's because the cost of potatoes has been going up, and this is having an impact on our national dish. nina is at a fish and chip processing factory in blackpool to tell us more.

can you even afford to buy anything, nina? i can you even afford to buy anything, nina? , ., ., ., can you even afford to buy anything, nina? i. ., ., ., ., ., ~' nina? i tell you what, have a look u . nina? i tell you what, have a look u- here, nina? i tell you what, have a look on here. this _ nina? i tell you what, have a look up here, this is _ nina? i tell you what, have a look up here, this is the _ nina? i tell you what, have a look up here, this is the machine - nina? i tell you what, have a look up here, this is the machine thatl up here, this is the machine that turns is bad, it is coming, it is coming into a chip. it will drop down in a minute. we are at seniors chip factory in blackpool, i am teasing this, watching this potato become a chip. there we go! it has been fantastic to watch it this morning. there is a big pile of chips going in. you will know from going to the supermarket, even a kilogram bag of spuds in the supermarket has gone all the way up to 90p, if you go to the gp regularly as we like to do in our house, you will know that a chippy

tea have gone up. some farmers have had enough of planting potatoes and the warmer weather has been —— wet weather has been affecting the crops. and something even more typically british, if that's possible. fish and chips. where would we be without the chippy tea? a mouth—watering part of our national palate for more than 160 years. so crucial to the national spirit, it's said supplies were protected during both world wars. but the soaring price of the humble spud means chippies like the kingfisher in salford are watching their margins get battered. it's just difficult because we can't pass it on to the customer. you know, the problem that we have in the industry is that people think that fish and chips is a cheap meal, and itjust isn't. people are prepared to pay £15, £20 for a pizza. they're not prepared to pay it for a portion of fish and chips. so it's very, very difficult. salt and vinegar on your chips?

as prices keep on rising in all other areas of life, the staple cheap treat has become a luxury. i usually have fish, chips and peas now and again, but today, as the price is so astronomical, i can only afford a bag of, a small cone of chips with vinegar. i don't know how they expect a pensioner to live to be honest. so every single thing's going up. i mean, we have fish and chips once a week, don't we? yeah. when my friend, she comew to have her hair cut. and it's getting to the point where, can you have it? how long can we keep on shaking that salt and vinegar while incomes feel on shaky ground? what's next, then, for the ultimate british dish?

but what if you decided you wanted to walk? after a ll after all those fish and chips! thousands of hikers have helped create a new slow ways map, which shows the network of public access footpaths which join the cities across great britain. 0ur climate editor, justin rowlatt has been for a stroll and can tell us more. welcome to newport in south wales. now, the slow ways website claims to link every town and city in britain, so i've decided to put it to a tough test, see if it can find a pleasant route between two thoroughly urban locations here in industrial newport, to the centre of cardiff, the welsh capital, which just happens to be the home of the climate and science team. now i'm joined by daniel raven—ellison. you developed the website, can it find us such a route? it most certainly can. people from across britain have already suggested nearly 10,000 routes that stretch for 140,000km.

some of them still need checking, but by the end of the summer, we hope to have connected all of britain's official 70 cities. all right, so which way do we go? we're on the outskirts of newport now and have passed its majestic transporter bridge that spans the river usk. there is a dramatic post—industrial landscape here that i would never have seen without this walk. so, daniel, listen, as the bbc�*s climate editor, i'm interested in low carbon journeys, but let's be realistic. the people of newport are not going to suddenly give up their cars and start walking to cardiff every day, are they? no, but every now and then they might. i mean, what we want to do is create routes that are the the greenest, healthiest, most memory making, most enjoyable ways to get from one place to another. and let's face it, walking is quite possibly the most zero carbon way to get around. we found ourselves in another really

compelling and unexpected landscape, the gwent levels, and gemma bode has agreed to walk some of the way with us. she is the head of the gwent wildlife trust. so, gemma, where are we? so we're on the gwent levels, which is a landscape where humans and their influence permeate everywhere you can see, from the 8000—year—old footprints in the mud out there to here now where we've got this roman designed drainage system to create land for grazing. and it's developed its own unique vocabulary, hasn't it? they talk about words like burrows, grips, reens, these incredible words. what do they mean? yeah, they're all about describing the drainage system. so the grips are the first line of defence that drain into the field ditches. and the field ditches drain into the reens and out into the estuary. and they are soups of biodiversity, this wetland landscape. and the whole thing is gravity fed, it's designed to work on its own, isn't it? it is, it's absolutely ingenious, how the romans did it

without our drone systems or maps isjust mind boggling. that is amazing, gemma. and daniel, we wouldn't have known about this place if we hadn't taken one of your slow ways, would we? right, i mean, that's one of the things i absolutely love about walking routes like this. like gemma says, people have been walking this coastline for thousands of years and, you know, walking slow ways by definition means you're slowing down. but that creates so many more opportunities to discover and explore places like this. and the train or driving would have been quicker, but taking that extra time and investment gives you so much time to enjoy places like this. i mean, it's a lovely way to enjoy the landscape. it's the only way, really, isn't it? we're nearing the end of our walk now. we're just on the outskirts of cardiff and this certainly was a slow way. i am knackered. it took us more than eight hours but it's been a wonderful walk. the slow way's website is not yet complete. many routes still need to be checked, but daniel says all the uk

cities will be connected by the end of the summer. now i have to go into the bbc office and explain to my boss why i'm so late for work. he can't blame the traffic! justin rowlatt, our climate editor, with that report. he was lucky with the weather there. he was lucky with the weather there. he was, let's see what the weather is going to be like today, is it walking weather? it certainly is, not a bad day for most of us. good morning, we are starting on a cloudy note for some but plenty of sunshine around and later on we will see some showery rain coming in from the west. what is happening is we have got an area of high pressure across us, trying to block these weather fronts, not succeeding particularly well, but it is weakening them. so we are not going to see heavy rain from them. we start with low cloud, mist and murk around bristol heading down to

dorset, lifting through the morning and for many of us variable cloud with sunny spells and as temperatures rise, we could see some showers especially in eastern england. it will be fairly limited. at the same time a weather front makes inroads into western areas introducing some light patchy rain but turning heavier and more persistent across south wales and south—west england a bit later. temperatures today ranging from 1a in the north to 25 in the south. not as warm under the cloud and rain. this evening and overnight the weather front moves from the west towards the east taking cloud and patchy rain with it but for a time the rain will be heavier across the far north of scotland and we are importing some humid air, so you will notice that, it will be more uncomfortable for sleeping and the overnight lows will be ranging from 11 in the north 16 in the south. tomorrow the first weather front

comes through and a second one will bring persistent rain across southern areas, so we start with cloud and patchy rain from the first weather front, cloud and patchy rain from the first weatherfront, then cloud and patchy rain from the first weather front, then the second one brings heavy rain across the english channel, the channel islands, some southern counties of england, it might move further north into central and southern england. but a lot of dry weather, showery rain across northern ireland and western scotland as well. temperatures, 15 to 22. into friday, early cloud from the dregs of the weather front will clear the south—east, then it will be a day of sunshine and showers, most of them will be in the north and west and some of them could be heavy. here temperatures will be lower than they are going to be on thursday, but still warmer further south. friday, we have an area of high pressure building across us, coming into saturday as well, but we have a weather front coming into the north—west on saturday so you can

see where we are looking at their showers, a few heat of the day showers, a few heat of the day showers across england and wales, but a lot of dry weather, 15 to 22 degrees and sunday is looking not too bad either. 0nce degrees and sunday is looking not too bad either. once again, a lot of dry weather around, sunshine and patchy cloud, a few scattered showers in the north—west. 0ur eyes can tell us a lot about our overall health, and during a basic eye test an optician can sometimes identify the very early signs of diabetes or cancer. david lee noticed some changes to his vision so thinking he needed glasses, he went for an eye test which showed signs of an extremely rare form of cancer. now david wants to track down the optician whose early diagnosis helped to save his life. 0ur reporter luxmy gopal has more. it started with a visit to the optician after experiencing double vision.

ijust turned a0 actually, and i thought, maybe ijust need some glasses. so, you know, a trip to go get my eyes checked out turned into a rare one in a million bone cancer. david had no other symptoms, but the optician sent him immediately to moorfields hospital a&e. it emerged he had a hard to spot, slow growing cancer, chordoma. so i had three surgeries in six months and then the proton beam radiation to kind of mop up the rest. so that's your right eye. so the blind spot was central between the two, presumably. the charity bone cancer research trust has been supporting david through his recovery. chordoma is quite rare and it's quite difficult to spot. it presents at the base of the skull, along the spine, at the base of the spine. it's no exaggeration to say that in this instance, spotting it at this early stage may have saved david's life. starting him on that life saving path back in early

2020 was the optician at tottenham court road who referred him, and david has been trying to track her down. i passed by there quite a bit and popped in a couple of times to try to find her and tell her that this journey all began because of you. i'm really glad that, you know, that she pushed me to go further and take my symptoms seriously. sadly, she's long since left the area, so he's not been able to thank her in person, until now. well, of course we had to try to track down david's optician and we did! so now it's time to surprise him. surprise! hi, david. hi, you're here! i'm here, yes. wow! - it's been quite a few years since you've seen me. yes, wow. i'm just in shock right now.

a reunion four years on from when david's life turned upside down. the one thing that i can remember was the lovely irish optician. yeah, i'm glad i urged you to go straightaway, it was friday evening, right? yes, it was. i reallyjust wanted you to know, though, that, um, that it made a difference that day. and i think, you know, your ordinary day was an extraordinary day for me, so... yeah, yeah, yeah. itjust began it all and i'm just so glad that you did urge me to go on and get it checked out. well, i'm certainly glad i did. david is grateful to the whole team of experts who saved him, but is now finally able to thank the person with whom it all began. luxmy gopal, bbc news. what a brilliant story. really, really good- _ janet jackson is one of the best—selling artists of all time, with more

than 180 million records sold worldwide and a string of hits that have left a lasting impression on pop culture. ahead of her together again tour coming to the uk later this year, janet caught up with our music correspondent mark savage and explained what it was like to grow up as part of a musically gifted family. # edit, four, three, two, one. janet jackson never intended to be famous. shejust happened to be born into one of the most musically successful families of all time. i started when i was seven. i don't ever remember being asked. ijust remember doing it, as far as making music. we had a studio at home growing up and whatever time of night and day, couldn't sleep at night, you'd go in the studio and you'd just create music, put something down if you had an idea. and i remember being...

i'd written my first song when i was nine years old. it was called fantasy. oh, my god. do you still remember it, can you sing it? no, i don't! # dee—dee—dah—dee—dah, dee—dee—dah—dee—dah, fantasy! something like that. that's good. something like that. i went to school the next morning, came home from school, and i hear the song that i had just put down being played. i was so embarrassed. i was so embarrassed because my... a few of my brothers were listening to it, michael was listening to it, i think randy was listening to it, my father was listening to it. and then my father said, "you're going to sing." and i said, "no, no, no, idon't want to sing." isaid, "no, no, iwant to go to the college and study business law." and he said no. # sweet dreams. under the watchful eye of joe jackson janet's

first two albums flopped. it was only when she took charge of her own music with the 1986 album control, that she struck gold with a combination of pop melodies and eye catching choreography. # i did what people told me. the music is amazing, remember it? that was a taste of what's to come, as we'll have more from that interview before nine o'clock this morning, and you can watch the full 30 minute programme called �*janetjackson: life in the spotlight�*, now on bbc iplayer a ten—year—old boy from grimsby has been pleading with housing developers to think about wildlife before building new homes. brodie carty says he is to live in an area surrounded by fields, but those fields are being turned into housing

he'll be here on the sofa at 7.50. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm luxmy gopal. a murder investigation's begun in hackney after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death yesterday afternoon. police said they were called to stellman close, where the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. he's the second 15—year—old to be killed in london within 48 hours after rene graham was shot in a park in ladbroke grove on sunday evening. a bbc investigation has found the percentage of people who failed to pay the dart charge on time rose, after a change in provider a year ago. the proportion of crossings not paid for on time went up from six to eight per cent. many of those who've contacted the bbc say they were fined despite having a dart charge account. for stuart randall, the fines came at a very difficult time for his family. so unfortunately the mother—in—law

passed away in august and then we had obviously the funeral in september. and then unfortunately again after that, her dad passed away as well in september as well, so we were doing trips down to kent to sort out family stuff. national highways said that more than 95% fjourneys usingthe dartford crossing are paid correctly and on time, and they work hard to help people avoid a penalty wherever possible. a woman who was given the freedom of the city of london for her disability campaigning says it's "absurd" she was unable to collect the award on stage because she wasn't offered an accessible ramp. anna landre says she was fighting back tears during the ceremony on friday at mansion house. the city of london corporation said it offered its sincerest apologies to herfor the inaccessible stage. let's take a look at the tubes now.

now onto the weather with kawser. hi there, good morning. well, it's quite a cloudy start for some of us but we are expecting lots of sunshine breaking through the cloud today, especially later in the afternoon, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers as well. if you do catch one of these showers, they may be quite sharp in places but a lot of dry weather in between, especially into the afternoon and warm too as temperatures widely reach the mid 20s with lighter winds. a fine evening to come for many with any showers dying out but overnight tonight, some thicker cloud spreads in from the west and this is thick enough for some outbreaks of showery rain in places. and temperatures quite mild and muggy, dipping no lowerthan 15 to 17 celsius in towns and cities. looking ahead, thursday we are expecting this frontal system to arrive in and this will bring some outbreaks of rain. some uncertainty with how much rain we are likely to see but there might

be some persistent outbreaks for a time during the afternoon. and it will be a bit fresher as well. looking ahead to friday and the weekend, much more in the way of drier weather, some good spells of sunshine and quite warm as well. i'll have more news, travel and weather updates for you in around half an hour. but for now, it's back tojon and sally

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. seven labour mps suspended — the prime minister asserts his authority after they defy the government over the two—child benefit cap. a soldier is in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed near to brompton barracks in gillingham — a man's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. britain's joint most decorated female 0lympian has withdrawn from the paris games. charlotte dujardin says she's "deeply ashamed" after a video emerged allegedly showing her beating a horse excessively with a whip. we will meet the leasehold is fighting back against what they say are rip—off charges imposed by the owners of large blocks of flats. it's like putting a vampire in

charge of a blood bank. there is nothing stopping them taking what they want. banks and building societies are told if they shut their branches, they must do more to help people get their hands on cash. good morning. for many of us, a day of sunny spells and variable amounts of sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud. they are to share in the east. the cloud will thicken in the west this afternoon introducing light rain. details later. good morning. it's wednesday, 24thjuly. seven labour mps have been suspended from the party for six months, after they rebelled against the government over the two—child benefit cap. it's the first big test of sir keir starmer�*s authority as prime minister. he's said it's unaffordable at the moment to scrap the cap, but he was defied by a group of mps who backed a call from the scottish national party for it to be lifted. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. the ayes were 103, the noes were 363.

so the noes have it, the noes have it. unlock. less than three weeks in power, the new government has had its first rebellion. it was small, but the prime minister has responded with his first show of force. mps have been debating the king's speech, keir starmer�*s plan for his first months in power. it included almost a0 bills, but nothing about overturning a controversial conservative policy limiting some benefits to the first two children in most low income families. last night, the snp forced a vote on scrapping the two—child cap, saying it was pushing people into poverty, and a small number of labour mps backed them. the single most effective way of tackling child poverty is immediately lifting 300,000 children out of poverty by scrapping this cruel policy. here are the seven, including the former shadow chancellor john mcdonnell, and rebecca

long—bailey, who stood against keir starmer for the labour leadership. they have now been told they are being suspended from the labour party in parliament for six months. the government argues it would be expensive to scrap the two—child benefit cap, and it says it wants to be careful with the country's finances. i strongly support the removal of the two—child cap. this government is less than three weeks in, and it has a pretty terrible economic inheritance. and i do think they need to be given time and space to be able to look at things in the round. the emphasis should be on, you know, unity and giving the government that space to bring forward their thinking. i now call the prime minister, sir keir starmer. _ cheering. but many more labour mps want a change of heart, and for the government to scrap the two—child benefit cap, so this issue is unlikely to disappear. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster.

0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now from westminster. good morning, henry. this is an early show of authority and force from the prime minister? it is utterly ruthless, sally. keir starmer embraced the idea that he was a ruthless leader of the labour party in opposition, and that is clearly an approach he intends to carry into government. suspending seven mps from the parliamentary labour party for at least six months so early in his government is a real show of force. it is notjust any seven mps. three of them served alongside him in senior positions in jeremy corbyn's shadow cabinet. john mcdonnell, obviously a big figure, the shadow chancellor under corbyn, rebecca long—bailey, in keir starmer and's first shadow cabinet after he defeated herfor the and's first shadow cabinet after he defeated her for the leadership. and's first shadow cabinet after he defeated herfor the leadership. but allies of st keir starmer would say this wasn't any old rebellion. it

was a vote against the labour whip in one of the first votes of keir starmer�*s government, and their programme for government. that is what a king's speech is in ourfunny constitutional architecture. if keir starmer had a normal sized majority, for want of a better phrase, 80 or 100, i might say he is storing up trouble, he will need to draw on labour mp support and perhaps he is losing some goodwill here, but i'm not sure that is true. his majority is so colossal and made up overwhelmingly of new mps elected for the first time he really support the direction in which he is taking the direction in which he is taking the labour party. but at the general election labour did, in some parts of the country, lose some votes to parties or candidates on the left, and there is potentially a risk that keir starmer is giving them more energy through this decision. that is a question for four or five years hence. in the meantime, keir starmer

could build many more people out of his party and he would still have a massive majority. thank you. we will be speaking to one of those rebel mps at half past eight this morning. zarah sultana. jon is more of the news. a soldier has been seriously injured after being stabbed close to brompton army barracks in gillingham yesterday afternoon. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. 0ur reporter aruna iyengarjoins us now. what have you been able to establish about what happened? yes. what have you been able to establish about what happened?— about what happened? yes, the lro-year-old — about what happened? yes, the 40-year-old soldier _ about what happened? yes, the 40-year-old soldier remains - about what happened? yes, the 40-year-old soldier remains in | about what happened? yes, the | 40-year-old soldier remains in a ao—year—old soldier remains in a serious condition in hospital. i have been speaking with neighbours who have been passing by walking their dogs. 0ne who have been passing by walking their dogs. one woman said she saw their dogs. one woman said she saw the airambulance, their dogs. one woman said she saw the air ambulance, there was a lot of noise about the 6pm yesterday. she said her thoughts were with the man stabbed. we also know a 24—year—old local man, according to police, has been arrested on

suspicion of attempted murder. the ministry of defence did confirm that it was a soldier who was attacked. the bbc has learned the man was wearing a uniform at the time of the incident. this is a military area. chatham is known for its naval bases. just down the road, 100 yards down the road, is brompton barracks, the headquarters for the royal school for military and you are in. the ministry of defence is asking people not to speculate on the motives behind this attack. they want people to help the police and have asked people who witnessed the incident or have any information to contact kent police. there is a police presence here today. lots of police presence here today. lots of police cars. it is cordoned off. the present is to provide reassurance to the community so that the police can continue their investigation. thank you, arona.

a murder investigation has begun after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death in hackney, east london. the boy was found just after 4pm yesterday afternoon. emergency services attempted to save his life, but he died at the scene. the suspect is believed to have run away. the metropolitan police is appealing for witnesses, and is still in the process of informing the child's next of kin. britain's joint most decorated female 0lympian, charlotte dujardin, has been provisionally suspended from dressage for six months, hours after pulling out of the paris 0lympics. it's after a video emerged which she said showed her making an "error ofjudgement". chetan has the details. charlotte dujardin was on the brink of becoming britain's most decorated female 0lympian of all time. she's one of the most recognised names because of her success in dressage — the oldest equestrian discipline, which sees the rider and horse perform a series of movements to music. a medal, of any colour in paris,

would have been her seventh, and moved her ahead of cyclist dame laura kenny into the outright lead. but she will not be competing. she's pulled out after a video from several years ago emerged, allegedly showing her beating a horse excessively with a whip during a training session at her private stable. charlotte dujardin was the first to put out a statement yesterday, saying: "what happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how i train my horses or coach my pupils. however, there is no excuse. i am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment." bbc sport has not seen the video in question. following charlotte dujardin's withdrawal, equestrian's governing body, the fei, put out a statement saying they received a video on monday showing "ms dujardin engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare." it was submitted by a lawyer representing an undisclosed complainant. charlotte dujardin is now provisionally suspended by the fei, british equestrian and british dressage until the outcome of the investigation.

people are asking why the video has emerged now. the lawyer representing the claimant says their client had to think long and hard about whether to bring the video to attention now, and understands it could have far—reaching consequences. this has shocked the british olympic team, animal welfare a subject that draws intense scrutiny. this is not just a hugely damaging moment for charlotte dujardin, but for the integrity of the sport. thank you. james cleverly has become the first person to declare their candidacy in the contest to replace rishi sunak as conservative party leader. in a video post on social media, the shadow home secretary said he believed he could unite the tory party. several more candidates are expected tojoin the race before nominations close next monday. the new leader will be announced in november. the welsh health secretary, eluned morgan, is expected to be confirmed as the new welsh labour leader later today, paving the way for her to become the next first minister.

no other senedd member has put their name forward to contest the role, with nominations due to close at midday. the royal family has unveiled plans for a sustainability push, with state cars running on biofuel, after the first solar panels were installed on the roof of windsor castle. the annual financial statement reveals public funding has remained unchanged at £86.3 million for a third year running. more money is being spent on green options like running staid bentleys on biofuel. —— state bentleys. kamala harris has said that the november us presidential election is a choice between freedom and chaos, during herfirst rally since becoming the presumptive democratic nominee. she spoke to cheering supporters in milwaukee, wisconsin, as our north america correspondent david willis reports. music: freedom by beyonce.

under new management. it tookjust over 30 hours for kamala harris to garner the support she needs to head the democratic presidential campaign. she is now her party's nominee in everything but name. beyonce herself approved the use of this track, freedom, as part of the kamala harris campaign, one of a slew of celebrity endorsements, george clooney among them. her presence has electrified the residential race. she told supporters in the swing state of wisconsin that donald trump would take the country backwards, and went on to compare his record as a convicted felon with her background as a public prosecutor. in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women. fraudsters who ripped off consumers.

cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. cheering. she is calling it a people—powered campaign, one her supporters believe could carry her all the way to the white house. super excited about kamala. i've been following her for many years. i think she's the perfect candidate to run against trump. i do think she can win. i think she will get the votes that maybe biden couldn't have got, or maybe trump won't get. there is only one old| man in the race now, and it's notjoe biden. we have a vibrant candidate and this will be a great election, and i- expect kamala harris to be elected president of the united states. - the man to whom kamala harris owes her stunning elevation returned yesterday to the white house. joe biden has spent the best part of a week in isolation

suffering from covid. tonight, in a televised address, he will tell the american people why he decided to step aside, leaving his deputy to wage the shortest election campaign in modern american history. are you ready to get to work? cheering. do we believe in freedom? cheering. do we believe in opportunity? cheering. do we believe in the promise of america? cheering. and are we ready to fight for it? cheering. and when we fight, we win! abortion rights and gun control are among the issues that will dominate her campaign. having raised more than $100 million since sunday, kamala harris has injected new life into the democrats' once flagging presidential campaign. david willis, bbc news, washington.

picture this. you have set sail on the ocean hoping to catch some fish when the unexpected happens. man overboard. notjust one man. that is a humpback whalejumping out overboard. notjust one man. that is a humpback whale jumping out of the waterfully capsizing a humpback whale jumping out of the water fully capsizing this boat, sending two people flying into the water. good grief. this was yesterday on a very small 23 foot boat off the new hampshire shore in the united states. luckily, nobody sustained any injuries, including the wild. everybody is ok, the boat, not so much. imagine filming it on the other boat. goodness me, what a story. that is enough to make you drop your fish and chips. carol is the weather. it is looking all right, isn't it? it is looking all right, isn't it? it is looking not bad for most of

us, notjust today, but after tomorrow, things kind of settled down for the bulk of the country. we have got today is sunshine, for most, sunny intervals. variable amounts of cloud. there will be some patchy rain in the west later. if you have an allergy to pollen, nettle and grass, the levels are running high today across north—east england. but they are moderate quite widely. we have got some mist and murk and low cloud in the bristol area. that will lift as we go through the next few hours. as temperatures rise, we could see some showers. through the afternoon the cloud will thicken towards the west. a weather front is coming our way and it would bring in some murk, persistent rain to wales. lighter rain in western scotland, moving out of northern ireland. for the rest of scotland and northern england, a few

showers. most of us will miss them. if you are in the sunshine, 25 degrees in london will feel pleasant. underthe degrees in london will feel pleasant. under the cloud and the rain in the west it will not feel as warm. as we head into the evening and overnight, the weatherfront moves from the west to the east, taking its cloud and generally light rain with it. for a time heavy rain crossing the north of scotland. it will be a sticky night tonight, 11 to about 16 degrees. tomorrow we start with a fair bit of cloud and some patchy rain. it will pick up across the channel islands, english channel and southern counties of england through the day. some will be heavy, could move further north. for most, away from that, dry with sunny intervals and a few showers in northern ireland and western scotland. thank you. thousands of leasehold flat owners could receive up to £3,500 in compensation as part of a class—action lawsuit against alleged hidden commission fees added to building insurance, and paid to the owners of large blocks of flats.

we will explain more on that story in a minute, but first let's take a look at the numbers. in 2022—23, there was an estimated 4.7 million leasehold properties in england, which accounts for one in five of the housing stock. 72% of those were flats and the other 28% were houses. leasehold means you own the property, but pay a fee for the land it's built on. in contrast, freehold means you own the property and the land it's built on. lawyers are now preparing to launch a class action lawsuit against leasehold fees, alleging that they include hidden commissions. 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan reports. liam spender is on a mission to expose the hidden fees that the owners of blocks of flats receive. it's like putting a vampire in charge of a blood bank. there's nothing stopping them taking what they want. he discovered that his landlords were paid commission worth £135,000 over four years for buying buildings insurance for the development.

they didn't disclose the fee, but did add it to the charges that leaseholders like liam pay annually. we want our money back. we were never in a position to know enough to give our informed consent to the landlord and the broker taking this commission before it was, it was taken from our money and hidden in the cost of the insurance. for years, the owners of blocks of flats have been getting commission on buildings insurance and not disclosing the fees. the owner of the block, the freeholder, arranges buildings insurance for every flat within it. the insurance company pays the freeholder a commission for buying their product. that fee is added to the cost of the insurance and the total is charged to the leaseholders, the people who own the individual flats. the reason that freeholders and brokers could charge commission on insurance and not tell the leaseholders is because the market was unregulated.

they didn't have to. when the financial conduct authority recently looked into this, they found that some of those commissions could be as high as 60% of the cost of the insurance. the average leaseholder, shall we say, was paying £250, £300 a year. they're now paying close to £1,300 to £1,400 a yearjust on buildings insurance. and that includes commission that they didn't know about? yeah, yeah. in this development in manchester, giles grover has seen his building insurance soar in recent years, as the complex had dangerous cladding. under pressure from the residents, his landlord has slightly cut their commission, but leaseholders like giles have still paid around £100,000 in such fees over the past three years. essentially being ripped off for years in different ways. they're making money out of our misery, the landlords, the insurers, the managing agents, everyone's taking their their pound of flesh from us because leaseholders have been at the bottom of the chain for years.

since the beginning of the year, freeholders have had to disclose how much they're receiving in commissions. their trade body supports that change and argues that building owners earn their money. they will be employing insurance staff, they will be doing an amount of insurance activity, either in conjunction with or on behalf of the insurer. and it's only fair that they should be remunerated for doing that work which they are by the insurer. having won compensation from the owner of his own building, liam spender is now preparing to launch a class action lawsuit on behalf of leaseholders across england and wales. oh, this is institutionalised, yes. they all have the same practice of adding something for themselves onto the cost of the insurance. if successful, lawyers say the legal action could see some leaseholders win thousands of pounds in compensation. michael buchanan, bbc news. a trip to the park to play

on the swings is a fond memory for lots of us, but for some children the facilities in their local area aren't what they used to be. with council budgets tight and no legal obligation for them to pay for playgrounds, a group of parents in southampton have now taken it upon themselves to raise money for new equipment. 0ur reporter emily hudson has more. # we are young, we run free. a chance to let off steam after a hard day in the classroom. but this play area in southampton has a big gap. the climbing frames were removed last year because the equipment was deemed unsafe. the children and parents desperately want it replaced. i really liked the big bit over there where the monkey bars were. i would like a climbing frame which has like a net. there's nothing here _ which challenges me any more. children lead more sedentary lives, there's a lot more screen time. we want somewhere that appeals for them to come and be physical, come and socialise with friends.

the council says it can't fully fund the replacement, so the friends of portswood rec group has been fundraising. it's got nearly £5,000. it's been really tough because play equipment is so expensive. we have done really, really well, but we still need more because unfortunately it's just not enough to replace the equipment and it's been almost a year now. and specialist play equipment is even more expensive. eight—year—old millie and herfriend daisy love going to the playground together, but millie's mum has to drive 20 minutes from home to fareham to one which has inclusive equipment. what do you like at the park? the trampoline. is the trampoline your favourite? yes. and what else do you like at the park? the roundabout. but millie can't do everything. i would like her to go on the swings with me and be able to go on stuff like slides, because that's something that i thought she would like.

i'm a mermaid. you're a mermaid? it's not just about the equipment. this is the park nearest to their house. that woodchip is not wheels friendly. it's difficult because she wants to be doing everything that her friends do and everything that her brother's doing. she's very cognitively able, so it's all physical. so it's frustrating for her. and then it's heartbreaking to see her wanting to join in and not being able to. play england wants play sufficiency legislation. that would mean councils legally have to provide outside space and equipment for all children to be able to play. they believe we're still building new houses and estates without thinking. we really need to put children and young people right at the very heart of our planning process. under the current national planning policy framework, there's statutory protection for bats and newts. there isn't any protection for children whatsoever.

so as an example, playgrounds and play facilities and space for children to play is often an afterthought through the planning process. it falls squarely between the cracks. it is a shameful situation that we're finding ourselves calling for legislation to protect the child's right to play. if the people who are making decisions about very important things are listening, what do you want to say to them? they should have more disabled equipment at the park because then everyone gets to play. what a message from millie. that was millie talking to our reporter emily hudson. they used to be cheap as chips, but rising potato costs mean you'll now be forking out more forfish and chips. nina is in blackpool and can tell us more.

you have already given us your favourite chippy tea. and there is a lot on that pledge. i actually left something out. i'm also partial to a gherkin and a pickled egg when i get my chippy tea. more on that later. we are just watching some halibut coming through. you might think we don't get that here. what has that got to do with the price of fish? we are talking about how a word or has gone up talking about how a word or has gone up too close to a tenner because of the scarcity of potatoes. also, the price of fish has gone up because of availability. and energy costs. here they have gone from the cod and haddock and diversified into halibut as well. branding can tell us more. at the moment with prices going up, it is about adapting to survive? definitely. and to give the customer variety. we have cod, haddock, and i am doing cod today. it is to give

customers what they want, really, yeah. customers what they want, really, eah. . , ., ., , yeah. that diversification means you are still going _ yeah. that diversification means you are still going strong. _ yeah. that diversification means you are still going strong. we _ yeah. that diversification means you are still going strong. we talked - are still going strong. we talked earlier. you worked here for 23 years. earlier. you worked here for 23 ears. g; earlier. you worked here for 23 years. £13. you do not look old years. 43. you do not look old enou~h! years. 475. you do not look old enough! you years. 4. you do not look old enough! you still years. 45 you do not look old enough! you still love your fish supper. what you go for? fish, chi s, supper. what you go for? fish, chips. peas _ supper. what you go for? fish, chips. peas and _ supper. what you go for? fish, chips, peas and steak- supper. what you go for? f si, chips, peas and steak pudding. supper. what you go for? fish, - chips, peas and steak pudding. with our face? chips, peas and steak pudding. with your face? yeah, _ chips, peas and steak pudding. with your face? yeah, definitely. - chips, peas and steak pudding. with your face? yeah, definitely. it - your face? yeah, definitely. it takes all sorts. _ your face? yeah, definitely. it takes all sorts. maybe - your face? yeah, definitely. it takes all sorts. maybe i - your face? yeah, definitely. it takes all sorts. maybe i will i your face? yeah, definitely. it| takes all sorts. maybe i will try your face? yeah, definitely. it i takes all sorts. maybe i will try it tonight. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm luxmy gopal. a murder investigation's begun in hackney after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death yesterday afternoon. police said they were called to stellman close, where the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. he's the second 15—year—old to be killed in london within 48 hours

after rene graham was shot in a park in ladbroke grove on sunday evening. a bbc investigation has found the percentage of people who failed to pay the dart charge on time rose after a change in provider a year ago. the proportion went up from 6% to 8%. many of those who've contacted the bbc say they were fined despite having a dart charge account. for stuart randall the fines came at a very difficult time for his family. so unfortunately the mother—in—law passed away in august and then we had obviously the funeral in september. and then unfortunately again after that, her dad passed away as well in september as well, so we were doing trips down to kent to sort out family stuff. national highways said "more than 94% ofjourneys using the dartford crossing are paid correctly and on time and we work hard to help people avoid a penalty wherever possible." a former senior police officer

has launched an appeal after he was sacked for failing to provide a sample for a drugs test in 2020. julian bennett was accused of smoking cannabis and found to have committed gross misconduct by not providing a sample for testing . a hearing before the police appeal tribunal is due to take place on friday. a bronze cannon from one of england's most important protected shipwrecks, the 17th century warship the london, has been revealed by chance on the sea bed the discovery was made by one of historic england's licensed divers after being hidden in thick clay and silt for nearly 360 years. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a part closure on the 0verground betwen hackney downs and chingford, severe delays on the piccadilly line and the elizabeth line. now onto the weather with kawser. hi there, good morning. well, it's quite a cloudy start for some of us but we are expecting lots of sunshine breaking through the cloud today, especially later in the afternoon, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers as well. if you do catch one of these showers, they may be quite sharp

in places but a lot of dry weather in between, especially into the afternoon and warm too as temperatures widely reach the mid 20s with lighter winds. a fine evening to come for many with any showers dying out but overnight tonight, some thicker cloud spreads in from the west and this is thick enough for some outbreaks of showery rain in places. and temperatures quite mild and muggy, dipping no lowerthan 15 to 17 celsius in towns and cities. looking ahead, thursday we are expecting this frontal system to arrive in and this will bring some outbreaks of rain. some uncertainty with how much rain we are likely to see but there might be some persistent outbreaks for a time during the afternoon. and it will be a bit fresher as well. looking ahead to friday and the weekend, much more in the way of drier weather, some good spells of sunshine and quite warm as well. i'll have more news travel and weather updates for you in around half an hour but for now it's back to jon and sally.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. there's been a spike in cases of whooping cough among babies and toddlers in england. it follows a drop in the number of pregnant women being vaccinated. nine children have died from the infection so far this year. 0ur health correspondent sharon barber reports. coughing and whooping. this is what whooping cough can sound like, and it can be fatal. a bacterial infection affecting the lungs, it's currently spreading, and health bosses are worried. we're really extremely concerned. we are seeing cases rise, we know there's been deaths nationally. in january there were 555 cases. that number rose to nearly 2600 confirmed cases in may. in total, there have been 7600 cases of across the uk so far this

year, compared to 858 for the whole of 2023. it's young babies that are at the highest risk of severe complications, and even deaths, from whooping cough. the uk health security agency says since this latest outbreak began in december, nine young babies have lost their lives. one reason for the rise in cases among babies is a fall in the take—up of vaccine by pregnant mums. we have approximately 5000 deliveries at james cook and at the hospital, we are vaccinating approximately 1000 of those a year. there's not many women that give us a real reason. we tend to hear, ijust don't want it, you are not sticking anything in me. now the nhs is targeting areas of most concern. kate had her vaccine in pregnancy, but says she's struggling to persuade other mums.

i've had conversations with people, including friends who aren't i've had conversations with people, including friends who are new mothers or are pregnant, who say, i don't want to get it because i've seen this piece of information on social media and it's made me think twice. and that's really scary because the fact that information is out there and it's appearing on people's algorithms, particularly when they are most vulnerable. there is a realfear now that unless more women and children are vaccinated, there will be more deaths. it's scary to think that these women are just not getting the vaccine because they think we are injecting them with something nasty, we are not, we are injecting them with something that's going to protect them and protect their baby from getting whooping cough. and potentially die? and potentially die, yes. babies like birdie have three further doses of the vaccine at eight, 12 and 16 weeks. sharon barber, bbc news.

the olympic games has inspired generations of athletes to take up sport after witnessing its ability to change lives, and that's exactly what happened for rower lola anderson when she watched london 2012. before his death, lola's dad encouraged her to chase her dreams and this weekend she takes to the water in his memory, for team gb at the paris games. 0ur reporter chris slegg has been to meet her. great britain are going to come through here! great britain take gold! last september, a first world championship gold medal for great britain in the women's quad sculls for 13 years. a member of the team that's among the favourites to win in paris, richmond's lola anderson. you are world champions, so a lot is expected of you. does that bring pressure as you head to paris? we have a saying in our boat and in our team that pressure is a privilege. and, you know, i'd much rather we had the pressure to succeed based off of everyone's belief in us, than we had to kind of come in as the underdog.

it was when helen glover and heather stanning won gold at london 2012 that a 14—year—old lola was inspired. i remember watching that, watching them win, and just sort of being hit by this really strong wave of inspiration. so, i was already late for training at this point, so i ran to go get my mini—diary, a little pink highlighter, and just scribbled in this sort of affirmation that said, "my name is lola anderson. i think it would be my biggest dream in life to go to the olympics for team gb and represent british rowing and if possible, win a gold medal." um, so i wrote that down and then got very embarrassed, ripped the page out of my diary and threw it away. lola's dad don found that page, and six years later, when he was seriously ill, he returned it to her, telling her to follow her dream. he passed away shortly after. how do you think he would feel, the fact that you are now heading

to paris as an 0lympian? 0h, um... sorry. i think he'd be really, really proud, yeah. um, sorry! um, iam... ..these are happy... i think he'd be really proud. um, you know, rowing obviously was a key sport for him, but he, just like any other parent, like my mum and everyone who's supported me along the way, just wants the best for their loved ones. and if he could see me now, he'd know that i was happy pride that certainly wouldn't be misplaced, as lola anderson and co prepared to take to the waters at paris 2024. what is a story, good luck to her. —— what a story. although the days of asking "do you take card?"

are long behind us, nowadays we're probably more familiar asking "do you take cash? " according to the financial conduct authority, around three million of us rely on using cash when making purchases. in a more digital world, the fca says that communities must still have access to cash through cash machines, bank branches, or post offices. however, between 2012 and 2022 the number of bank branches and building societies fell by 40%. from september, the fca says that banks and building societies must keep their facilities open, including branches and cash machines, untiladditional services are made available. the fca says banks and building societies must assess the need for cash services within their own area. we're joined now by sheldon mills, executive director of consumers and competition at the financial conduct authority. good morning. can you explain to us,

we know that fewer people are using cash, but there is still a significant number of people who rely on it? significant number of people who rel on it? ,., ., ., significant number of people who rel on it? ., , ., rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes. _ rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes. we — rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes, we find _ rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes, we find that _ rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes, we find that 3 - rely on it? good morning, sally and jon stop yes, we find that 3 million | jon stop yes, we find that 3 million people rely on cash either exclusively or mock quite strongly, and the types of people relying on cash are those on low income households, those who might have a vulnerability, and those who need to manage their money. that has been a particular thing as we have had high inflation and we have just been to the pandemic. 50; inflation and we have 'ust been to the pandemich inflation and we have 'ust been to the pandemic. so, when banks and buildin: the pandemic. so, when banks and building societies _ the pandemic. so, when banks and building societies are _ the pandemic. so, when banks and building societies are being - the pandemic. so, when banks and building societies are being told i building societies are being told they have got to keep some kind of facility or offer open and available in the community, what are we talking about, what kinds of facilities? it talking about, what kinds of facilities?— talking about, what kinds of facilities? ., ., ., facilities? it important to note that in the _ facilities? it important to note that in the legislation - facilities? it important to note that in the legislation that - that in the legislation that parliament passed that asks us to protect a reasonable access to cash, what it says we are trying to ensure is that people in urban areas within

one while of a free access cashpoint, they are, within three miles in rural areas. we are seeking to protect that today. banks need to come to a point within that area, when there is only going to be one branch left, they need to look at the cash you need and cash access needin the cash you need and cash access need in the area and provide something to support communities. there could be a banking hub where banks come together and share a hub to provide cash access, it could be mobile provision of cash, it could be a free access atm, or other types of innovations. what is important is that the banks look at the needs of the local community, each local community will be different. the other thing which these rules provide is that local community groups, local councils or businesses can request that there is an

assessment to see what the local needs are, and what types of provision might be required to help support local communities to maintain access to cash. you support local communities to maintain access to cash. you say it would be a — maintain access to cash. you say it would be a free _ maintain access to cash. you say it would be a free access _ maintain access to cash. you say it would be a free access cash - maintain access to cash. you say it i would be a free access cash machine they would provide cover not necessarily one of those ones where you have to pay money to get money out? �* , . , you have to pay money to get money out? �*, ._ ., you have to pay money to get money out? �*, ., , ., ., out? it's really important that it is free access. _ out? it's really important that it is free access. it's _ out? it's really important that it is free access. it's not _ out? it's really important that it is free access. it's not really - out? it's really important that itj is free access. it's not really fair that the poorest in society end up going to those atms we have all seen them, where you get charged £150 going to those atms we have all seen them, where you get charged £1 50 to take out a five or £10. it's important that it is free access. what are the barriers of those people who are reliant on cash in getting them access to digital forms of payment? it’s getting them access to digital forms of payment?— of payment? it's really important that art of payment? it's really important that part of _ of payment? it's really important that part of this _ of payment? it's really important that part of this and _ of payment? it's really important that part of this and part - of payment? it's really important that part of this and part of - of payment? it's really important that part of this and part of what | that part of this and part of what banks are seeking to do their customers is that we support those who do not have access to the internet or support people who are not familiar with using digital

payments to get more familiar or to get access so that they can use them. the world is changing and we have seen a really significant increase in the number of digital payments made including contactless card payments, so it is important that we educate people and support people to make that change, while still protecting access to cash. the trouble is. — still protecting access to cash. the trouble is. so _ still protecting access to cash. the trouble is, so many communities have already lost their banks, even their cash machines, is this guidance a bit late? ~ cash machines, is this guidance a bit late? . ., ., ., bit late? well, the banks have had a voluntary system — bit late? well, the banks have had a voluntary system in _ bit late? well, the banks have had a voluntary system in place _ bit late? well, the banks have had a voluntary system in place which - bit late? well, the banks have had a voluntary system in place which we i voluntary system in place which we have worked with them on, and that has supported a number of banking herbs and alternative provisions in areas, so we have been active in this area in supporting banks to continue with access to cash whilst they have been closing branches over they have been closing branches over the past few years. bud they have been closing branches over the past few years.— the past few years. and what are the advanta . es the past few years. and what are the advantages for _ the past few years. and what are the advantages for people _ the past few years. and what are the advantages for people who _ the past few years. and what are the advantages for people who say - the past few years. and what are the advantages for people who say that i advantages for people who say that they just simply want to use cash and that is it? iblur theyjust simply want to use cash and that is it?— theyjust simply want to use cash and that is it? our research shows that a big advantage _ and that is it? our research shows that a big advantage is _ and that is it? our research shows that a big advantage is managing l that a big advantage is managing

have got a high pressure ridge across us which is trying to keep a weather front at bay, it will not succeed but what it is doing is weakening them, so the rain on them will not be as heavy when they come in. a lot of drive with you to start with, mist and in. a lot of drive with you to start with, mistand —— dry in. a lot of drive with you to start with, mist and —— dry weather to start with, mist and fog, was towards dorset, and as temperatures rise we could see one or two showers developing the east or eastern england but many of us will miss them. here comes the weather front, bumping into the high pressure and bringing in the cloud and generally light rain, but it will pep up through the afternoon across south wales and south—west england. temperatures, cooler in the west, where we have got the cloud and rain. in the sunshine further east, for any prolonged periods of time it will feel warm, 75 degrees in london. this evening and —— 25 degrees in london. this evening and overnight, the weather front moves west to east taking cloud and rain

but heavy rain will come across scotland, and we are importing humid airso it scotland, and we are importing humid air so it would be an oppressive night, 11 to 16 degrees. tomorrow we start with the weather fronts pushing towards the east, this second one will bring in persistent rain across southern counties. we start with a lot of cloud, patchy rain pushing towards the east, here is the second weather front bringing in heavy rain across the channel islands and southern counties of england. into the south east it could move a little bit further north, and at the same time the next weather front is coming in across western scotland and northern ireland bringing showery rain. in between drier and brighter interludes with brighter spells and these are the temperatures. as we head into friday, we have got a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine and any early cloud in the south—east is clearing, there we will have showers across the north and the west and some of those could be heavy. in the north temperatures

down a little bit, but still holding up down a little bit, but still holding up in southern areas. that takes us into the weekend, and at the weekend we have got this high pressure moving across us, there will be a weather front on saturday coming in across the west likely to bring in some patchy rain once again across parts of scotland in particular, and also northern ireland. for england and wales, are largely dry day, sunshine, and once again some showers are likely as temperatures rise. as we head into sunday, very similar weather. we will have high pressure in charge, it will be dry with some sunshine around, patchy cloud and a few showers in the north—west. getting a little bit warmer. north-west. getting a little bit warmer. ., «i ., ., «i you may remember, three years ago former f4 racing driver billy monger took on a huge challenge for red nose day, raising

an astonishing £3 million by walking, kayaking and cycling across england. it was a lot. you think that was a lot! billy is now back to tackle another challenge for comic relief, the 140 mile ironman triathlon in hawaii which is known as the most gruelling physical test, after climbing everest. billy will be taking on a 140.6—mile course in kailua—kona, hawaii. it'll include a 2.4 mile swim in the pacific, a 112 mile cycle ride, including sustained climbs in exposed terrains and strong crosswinds, and a 26.2 mile run across barren lava fields in intense humidity. as if that wasn't enough, he has to complete it in 17 hours, but billy isn't content with that, he wants to set a new record and do it in under 16 hours,

26 minutes and 59 seconds. let's take a look at billy in action, as he prepares for this mammoth challenge. music. billy has managed to find f short gap of a few minutes to talk to us! how are you doing?— gap of a few minutes to talk to us! how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you — how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you can _ how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you can see _ how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you can see there _ how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you can see there quite - how are you doing? yeah, i'm good. it's as you can see there quite a - it's as you can see there quite a lot, what i had signed myself up for

the sense of, you know, achievement that i got from the back of that was incredible. and i have always wanted to, we have always stayed in contact with comic relief to see if there was anything else in the pipeline we could do and this was thrown onto my lap and i thought, 0k, could do and this was thrown onto my lap and i thought, ok, i would could do and this was thrown onto my lap and i thought, 0k, iwould have to take a while to think about this because this isn't something that you just say yes to in a snap decision. and this year, we have been going on and having a bit of time at the start of this year, and i have been training since october last year so by the time i got to the start line it will have been a full year of dedication, here we are, i said yes and we are doing it. any regrets, had there been moments when you have thought, what am i doing? i when you have thought, what am i doint ? .. when you have thought, what am i doint ? «i , ., , doing? i feel like i should be regretting — doing? i feel like i should be regretting it _ doing? i feel like i should be regretting it more _ doing? i feel like i should be regretting it more than i i doing? i feel like i should be| regretting it more than i am, because anyone around me who knows this claim doing the challenge is saying, you are mental, what are you doing? maybe i should regret it. but

i am more excited than anything because it is out of my comfort zone but i know the great impact that i hope we will have doing something like this challenge. and also may being a competitive sportsman, i've never had to do something like this before, the dedication has been a different level. the 18 to 20 hours a week of training, the hours that i have been putting in. that a week of training, the hours that i have been putting in.— a week of training, the hours that i have been putting in. that is a 'ob. it is a full-time i have been putting in. that is a 'ob. it is a full-time job i have been putting in. that is a 'ob. it is a full-time job amongst i have been putting in. that is ajob. it is a full-time job amongst all i have been putting in. that is ajob. it is a full-time job amongst all of| it is a full—time job amongst all of the other stuff i have going on so it has been hard tojuggle the other stuff i have going on so it has been hard to juggle at times it. so it has been hard to 'uggle at times it. ., , it has been hard to 'uggle at times it. so what is it about this particular _ it. so what is it about this particular event _ it. so what is it about this particular event in - it. so what is it about this| particular event in hawaii, it. so what is it about this i particular event in hawaii, why is it so special?— it so special? so, hawaii, out in kailua-kona. — it so special? so, hawaii, out in kailua-kona, it _ it so special? so, hawaii, out in kailua-kona, it is _ it so special? so, hawaii, out in kailua-kona, it is the _ it so special? so, hawaii, out in kailua-kona, it is the hardest i it so special? so, hawaii, out in l kailua-kona, it is the hardest iron kailua—kona, it is the hardest iron man out there, the hardest one day endurance event apart from everest in the world. so if you're looking for a sense of achievement, for me it wasjust for a sense of achievement, for me it was just understanding that not many people able—bodied would attempt something like this so someone in my position is as a

anything i have attempted before but at the end of the day, it is me and those three disciplines and the work i have put in over the last few months will hopefully paid evidence. and which of the three disciplines will be both the most challenging? probably the running for me as a double amputee, and that is the end as well so the impact on my body, there have been a lot of tweaks and fine tuning of prosthetics to get them in a place where i can be comfortable to run a marathon after having done all of the other stuff that goes before it. find having done all of the other stuff that goes before it.— having done all of the other stuff that goes before it. and what is the im act on that goes before it. and what is the impact on your— that goes before it. and what is the impact on your body _ that goes before it. and what is the impact on your body at _ that goes before it. and what is the impact on your body at that - that goes before it. and what is the impact on your body at that point? | impact on your body at that point? just your hips, for me, my amputations are different side to side so balance wise there is that factor at play. all of my muscle groups around my legs have to work harder when i am running then if i was not a was not double harder when i am running then if i was not double amputee. it's been a

challenge but because i have started training since last october i have had time to prepare because the first comic relief challenge i did came to me very quickly, it was a three month window from the start of finding out about it to a chilly doing the challenge and i had to throw myself into that and this has been a slightly different task because it has been a full year in and around day—to—day life. thmd and around day-to-day life. and whose decision _ and around day—to—day life. and whose decision was it to try and break the record as well? that has all come from _ break the record as well? that has all come from me, _ break the record as well? that has all come from me, i— break the record as well? that has all come from me, i can't - break the record as well? that has all come from me, i can't lie! i i all come from me, i can't lie! i knew you were going to say that. i can't say that someone told me to break a record. ifelt like if i can't say that someone told me to break a record. i felt like if i was going to go to all of this effort, what was out there in terms of the record and was it something i thought was achievable, and it is going to be brutally hard, i have no idea whether i have been able to get the record done or even if i will be able to finish it because it's something that not many people can take on and get through the other side of it, but i'm hoping that all of the training and hard work that

has gone into this with the team around me, notjust me being training myself, i have had to specialist triathlon coaches who have been giving me all of the training to do week by week, nutritionists, everything around me has been taken to the next level and hopefully that will produce the best version. ., , , i. hopefully that will produce the best version. ., , , version. nutritionists, you say? that is perfect. _ version. nutritionists, you say? that is perfect, because i version. nutritionists, you say? that is perfect, because we i version. nutritionists, you say? that is perfect, because we are| that is perfect, because we are talking about fish and chips this morning. a big date about fish and chips, the rising cost, how do you haveit? chips, the rising cost, how do you have it? a chips, the rising cost, how do you have it? 1, ., chips, the rising cost, how do you haveit? ., . ,, have it? battered sausage and chips, salt and vinegar, _ have it? battered sausage and chips, salt and vinegar, the _ have it? battered sausage and chips, salt and vinegar, the full _ have it? battered sausage and chips, salt and vinegar, the full works, i i salt and vinegar, the full works, i have not been able to have that while i am training. i have not been able to have that while i am training.— have not been able to have that while i am training. i would have thoutht while i am training. i would have thought that _ while i am training. i would have thought that is _ while i am training. i would have thought that is the _ while i am training. i would have thought that is the point - while i am training. i would have thought that is the point of i while i am training. i would have thought that is the point of all i while i am training. i would havej thought that is the point of all of that training, as much fish and chips as you like, no? idot that training, as much fish and chips as you like, no? not quite! ho tefull chips as you like, no? not quite! hopefully afterwards _ chips as you like, no? not quite! hopefully afterwards being i chips as you like, no? not quite! hopefully afterwards being out i chips as you like, no? not quite! | hopefully afterwards being out in hawaii i will be able to tuck into something afterwards.

correspondent, nick eardley. the ayes were 103, the noes were 363. so the noes have it, the noes have it. unlock. less than three weeks in power, the new government has had its first rebellion. it was small, but the prime minister has responded with his first show of force. mps have been debating the king's speech, keir starmer�*s plan for his first months in power. it included almost 40 bills, but nothing about overturning a controversial conservative policy limiting some benefits to the first two children in most low income families. last night, the snp forced a vote on scrapping the two—child cap, saying it was pushing people into poverty, and a small number of labour mps backed them. the single most effective way of tackling child poverty is immediately lifting 300,000 children out of poverty by scrapping this cruel policy.

here are the seven, including the former shadow chancellor john mcdonnell, and rebecca long—bailey, who stood against keir starmer for the labour leadership. they have now been told they are being suspended from the labour party in parliament for six months. the government argues it would be expensive to scrap the two—child benefit cap, and it says it wants to be careful with the country's finances. i strongly support the removal of the two—child cap. this government is less than three weeks in, and it has a pretty terrible economic inheritance. and i do think they need to be given time and space to be able to look at things in the round. the emphasis should be on, you know, unity and giving the government that space to bring forward their thinking. i now call the prime minister, sir keir starmer. _ cheering. but many more labour mps want a change of heart, and for the government to scrap

the two—child benefit cap, so this issue is unlikely to disappear. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now from westminster. good morning, henry. this is a very early show of force from the prime minister? it is this is a very early show of force from the prime minister?- from the prime minister? it is a show of ruthlessness. - from the prime minister? it is a show of ruthlessness. ruthless | from the prime minister? it is a i show of ruthlessness. ruthless was a word sir keir starmer was going to embrace as leader of the opposition. he said he was ruthless in changing the labour party and he clearly intends to govern in that vein as well. seven mps thrown out of his party for at least six months so soon after he won the general election, that is a declaration of intent. especially when you look at —— at who some of those are. yes, they are firmly on the left of the party, but some are big figures. john mcdonnell, shadow chancellor underjeremy corbyn, rebecca long—bailey, who keir starmer beat for the leadership in 2020, and who

was in his first shadow cabinet, initially at least. clearly he is determined to show that he expects his mps to show loyalty notjust to him, but to the manifesto on which they won this general election, which did not include abolishing the 2—child benefit cap. that is the argument that was being made by sir keir starmer to his mps. there is a chance he is storing up some ill will hear. but his majority is so colossal that this actually will probably get mps into line for now. keir starmer, the truth is, could suspend far more labour mps and we would still have a huge majority to fall back on. henry, thank you. jon has more of today's news. a soldier has been seriously injured after being stabbed close to brompton army barracks in gillingham yesterday afternoon. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. 0ur reporter aruna

iyengarjoins us now. a community in real shock this morning? yes, they are. this is after a 40—year—old soldier was attacked, stabbed last night, at around six o'clock in this residential street in chatham in kent. i have been speaking to local people. one man on his way to the station said he saw what happened as he came home. he said it wasn't pleasant. i also spoke to a woman walking her dogs, who said she saw the police helicopters and her thoughts are with the soldier. we have also heard from john healey, the defence secretary, who said this morning, it is shocking to hear of an attack on a soldier in kent. my thoughts are with the soldier and his family, who deserve privacy at this difficult time. he said on behalf of the government, i wish him a speedy recovery. those are the

reactions at the moment. there is a police presence in the road where the stabbing took place. there is a police cordon at this end of the road and the other end to seal off the area. police are saying, or the army have said, the person attack was a 40—year—old soldier. the bbc understands that the man was in uniform at the time. this is a military area. just 200 yards down the road we have the royal school of a in your in. the place definitely has a military presence. —— engineering. has a military presence. -- engineering.- has a military presence. -- engineering. has a military presence. -- enttineerin. . «i i. ., -- engineering. thank you for the u date. a murder investigation has begun after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death in hackney, east london. the boy was found just after 4pm yesterday afternoon. emergency services attempted to save his life, but he died at the scene. the suspect is believed to have run away. the metropolitan police is appealing for witnesses, and is still in the process of informing the child's next of kin.

britain's joint most decorated female 0lympian, charlotte dujardin, has been provisionally suspended from dressage for six months, hours after pulling out of the paris 0lympics. it's after a video emerged which she said showed her making an "error ofjudgement". chetan has the details. charlotte dujardin was on the brink of becoming britain's most decorated female 0lympian of all time. she's one of the most recognised names because of her success in dressage — the oldest equestrian discipline, which sees the rider and horse perform a series of movements to music. a medal, of any colour in paris, would have been her seventh, and moved her ahead of cyclist dame laura kenny into the outright lead. but she will not be competing. she's pulled out after a video from several years ago emerged, allegedly showing her beating a horse excessively with a whip during a training session at her private stable. charlotte dujardin was the first to put out a statement yesterday, saying:

"what happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how i train my horses or coach my pupils. however, there is no excuse. i am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment." following charlotte dujardin's withdrawal, equestrian's governing body, the fei, put out a statement saying they received a video on monday showing "ms dujardin engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare." it was submitted by a lawyer representing an undisclosed complainant. charlotte dujardin is now provisionally suspended by the fei, british equestrian and british dressage until the outcome of the investigation. they all say they take equine welfare extremely seriously. people are asking why the video has emerged now. the lawyer representing the claimant says their client had to think long and hard about whether to bring the video to attention now, and understands it could have far—reaching consequences. this has shocked the british olympic team, animal welfare a subject that

draws intense scrutiny. this is notjust a hugely damaging moment for charlotte dujardin, but for the integrity of the sport. thank you. james cleverly has become the first person to declare their candidacy in the contest to replace rishi sunak as conservative party leader. in a video post on social media, the shadow home secretary said he believed he could unite the tory party. several more candidates are expected tojoin the race before nominations close next monday. the new leader will be announced in november. the welsh health secretary, eluned morgan, is expected to be confirmed as the new welsh labour leader later today, paving the way for her to become the next first minister. no other senedd member has put their name forward to contest the role, with nominations due to close at midday. kamala harris has said that the november us presidential election is a choice between freedom

and chaos, during herfirst rally since becoming the presumptive democratic nominee. she spoke to cheering supporters in milwaukee, wisconsin, as our north america correspondent david willis reports. music: freedom by beyonce. under new management. it tookjust over 30 hours for kamala harris to garner the support she needs to head the democratic presidential campaign. she is now her party's nominee in everything but name. beyonce herself approved the use of this track, freedom, as part of the kamala harris campaign, one of a slew of celebrity endorsements, george clooney among them. her presence has electrified the residential race. she told supporters in the swing state of wisconsin that donald trump would take the country backwards, and went on to compare his record as a convicted felon with her

background as a public prosecutor. in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women. fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. cheering. she is calling it a people—powered campaign, one her supporters believe could carry her all the way to the white house. super excited about kamala. i've been following her for many years. i think she's the perfect candidate to run against trump. i do think she can win. i think she will get the votes that maybe biden couldn't have got, or maybe trump won't get. there is only one old| man in the race now, and it's notjoe biden.

we have a vibrant candidate and this will be a great election, and i- expect kamala harris to be elected president of the united states. i the man to whom kamala harris owes her stunning elevation returned yesterday to the white house. joe biden has spent the best part of a week in isolation suffering from covid. tonight, in a televised address, he will tell the american people why he decided to step aside, leaving his deputy to wage the shortest election campaign in modern american history. are you ready to get to work? cheering. do we believe in freedom? cheering. do we believe in opportunity? cheering. do we believe in the promise of america? cheering. and are we ready to fight for it? cheering. and when we fight, we win! abortion rights and gun control are among the issues that will dominate her campaign.

having raised more than $100 million since sunday, kamala harris has injected new life into the democrats' once flagging presidential campaign. david willis, bbc news, washington. picture this. you've set sail on the ocean, hoping to catch some fish when the unexpected happens — man overboard. yep, that's a humpback whale jumping out of the water, fully capsizing a boat which sent two people flying into the water. this took place yesterday, on a small, 23—foot fishing boat off the new hampshire shore in the united states. luckily, no one sustained any injuries, including the whale. the boat was not so fine.

heavy for a time in northern scotland. it is going to be a humid night. 0vernight lows, 11 to 16 degrees. into tomorrow, we still have a weather front moving towards the east. a lot of cloud with it, some light rain, and heavier rain coming in across the channel islands, the english channel and the far south—east. this has the potential to move just a little bit further north than we're showing in the charts. it is something to watch if you have plans for tomorrow. temperatures ranging from 15 in the north, to 22 in aberdeen and also norwich. after that it does settle down a bit. carol, thank you. the family of an eight month old baby and his auntie, who were killed in a motorway crash are calling for mandatory life driving bans for those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. drunk and travelling at speeds of more than 140 miles per hour, daryl anderson was jailed for 17 years and banned from driving for 21 and a half yea rs.

but the family of zackary blades and karlene warner say he should never be allowed behind the wheel again. abi smitton reports. yeah! eight month—old zackary blades. a little boy who never got the chance to grow up. he'd started saying 'mama' as well. um, didn't get to say 'dada'. he was killed, alongside his aunt karlene, in a horrific crash on the a1 in county durham in may. i didn't realise how loved she was until she was gone. karlene's sister, shalorna, zackary�*s mum, had gone to pick her up from newcastle airport. zack was in the back seat. this man, darryl anderson, had also been on a flight. he'd been drinking, but chose to get behind the wheel of his car. he was spotted driving

at speeds of 140mph, taking photos of himself behind the wheel. he rammed into their car, killing zack and karlene instantly. i've just got back off holiday. this was recorded just minutes after he hit them. what's that saying? so, i'll have to fail. you were going 95. wham — 95 — the legal limit is 35. is it? yeah. at the police station, he tried to claim another person had been driving. so ijumped in passenger, he's in driving seat and we've set off. um, i think he went wrong way to start with. and then ijust fell asleep. i woke up when we're crashing. he soon back—pedalled on those claims, pleading guilty to death by dangerous driving. i've, i've, i've drove into the back of another car. veett — but i'm not a bad person. in court earlier this month, he was jailed for 17 years and was given a 21 and a half year driving ban.

there's no difference from using a gun. yeah, and for his reckless driving. there was three bullets fired. two killed two innocent lives, one went through our family's heart. zack and karlene's family have now launched a petition calling for anyone convicted of death by dangerous driving to also be handed a lifetime ban, that would prevent them from ever getting behind the wheel again. and no—one should have to go through what we've gone through. and if we can stop that next person, make them think twice, then we've done some good, and karlene and zack's lives were more than that. um, so pleasejoin us now in our justice for zackary and karlene. and we will not stop. i will fight every single day that i'm on this earth for them. we're nowjoined by shalorna warner, mum of zackary blades and sister of karlene warner, and lareesa warner, karlene's sister and aunty to zackary. good morning to both of you. thank you for coming in. shalorna, we are so sorry about everything you have been through, all of you as a

good morning from bbc london, i'm luxmy gopal. a murder investigation's begun in hackney after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death yesterday afternoon. police said they were called to stellman close, and believe the suspect had run away from the scene. the boy is the second 15—year—old to be killed in london within 48 hours after rene graham was shot in ladbroke grove on sunday evening. a bbc investigation has found the percentage of people who failed to pay the dart charge on time rose after a change in provider a year ago. it went up from 6% to 8% many of those who've contacted the bbc say they were fined despite having a dart charge account. national highways said "more than 94% ofjourneys using the dartford crossing are paid correctly and on time and we work hard to help people avoid a penalty wherever possible." a woman who was given the freedom of the city of london

for her disability campaigning says it's "absurd" she was unable to collect the award on stage because she wasn't offered an accessible ramp. anna landre says she was fighting back tears during the ceremony on friday at mansion house. the city of london corporation said it offered its sincerest apologies to herfor the inaccessible stage. it turned an honour into an indignity, which was really disappointing and i had this moment of how do i react to this, do i make a scene? do i leave, do i stay and deal with it? but it really struck me that if i don't address it, it's going to keep happening. a bronze cannon from one of england's most important protected shipwrecks, the 17th century warship the london, has been revealed by chance on the sea bed in the thames estuary. the discovery was made by one of historic england's licensed divers after being hidden in thick clay and silt for nearly 360 years. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's a part closure on the overground betwen hackney downs and chingford, minor delays on the hammersmith and city line, and severe delays on the elizabeth line. now onto the weather with kawser. hi there, good morning. well, it's quite a cloudy start for some of us but we are expecting lots of sunshine breaking through the cloud today, especially later in the afternoon, although there is the chance of a few scattered showers as well. if you do catch one of these showers, they may be quite sharp in places but a lot of dry weather in between, especially into the afternoon and warm too as temperatures widely reach the mid 20s with lighter winds. a fine evening to come for many with any showers dying out but overnight tonight, some thicker cloud spreads in from the west and this is thick enough for some outbreaks of showery rain in places. and temperatures quite mild and muggy, dipping no lowerthan 15 to 17 celsius in towns and cities. looking ahead, thursday we are expecting this frontal system to arrive in and this will bring some outbreaks of rain. some uncertainty with how much rain we are likely to see but there might be some persistent outbreaks

for a time during the afternoon. and it will be a bit fresher as well. looking ahead to friday and the weekend, much more in the way of drier weather, some good spells of sunshine and quite warm as well. i'll have more news travel and weather updates for you in around half an hour but for now it's back to jon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. seven labour mps have been suspended after rebelling against the government. they voted with the snp on a motion to scrap the two—child benefit cap. among them was zarah sultana who joins us now. good sultana whojoins us now. morning. did you knowy going good morning. did you know you are going to be kicked out if you rebelled?— going to be kicked out if you rebelled? ., ., , �* ., ., rebelled? no, iwasn't informed that that was going _ rebelled? no, iwasn't informed that that was going to _

life experiences and this is not just the immediate impact of poverty, their long—term impact on health, well—being and life expectancy. as a constituency mp, it's really important that mps are able to make the case for their constituents and vote in a way that enables them to be able to sleep at night. enables them to be able to sleep at niuht. ., . ., , night. the chancellor rachel reeves has said that — night. the chancellor rachel reeves has said that no _ night. the chancellor rachel reeves has said that no unfunded _ has said that no unfunded commitments will be made. do you accept that at this point there simply isn't the money? well, fiscal responsibility _ simply isn't the money? well, fiscal responsibility at _ simply isn't the money? well, fiscal responsibility at this _ simply isn't the money? well, fiscal responsibility at this moment - simply isn't the money? well, fiscal responsibility at this moment in - responsibility at this moment in time means 330 thousand children in our country are living in poverty, we are the sixth largest economy in the world, we have enough wealth to fund this. under the tory austerity programme which decimated public services and harm the communities, the wealthy made an absolute killing. their wealth tripled under the tories, it is nowjust shy, total wealth, of you came billionaires, of 700 billion. —— uk millionaires. there are policies we

could increment to fund this, one of them is a wealth tax on assets over 10 million, that would raise £24 billion, if you have a policy which equalises capital gains with income rate pressures comedy would raise i6 rate pressures comedy would raise 16 billion. when people say there is not enough money to fund this, they are not looking in the right places and it's really important that we make a difference right now because we can change people's lives right now by implementing this and not waiting for a moment in the future. so are you saying, then, that the labour party in government is unwilling to find this money? politics and the decisions we make are based on wheel, and what i would say is allowing this to continue is a matter of political will, so that is what needs to change. i’m a matter of political will, so that is what needs to change. i'm going to ut this is what needs to change. i'm going to put this point — is what needs to change. i'm going to put this point do _ is what needs to change. i'm going to put this point do you _ is what needs to change. i'm going to put this point do you again. - to put this point do you again. don't you think this is very early daysin don't you think this is very early days in this government to start rebelling? days in this government to start rebellin: ? .., , ., rebelling? over the course of the election and _ rebelling? over the course of the election and in _ rebelling? over the course of the election and in the _ rebelling? over the course of the election and in the four _ rebelling? over the course of the election and in the four or- rebelling? over the course of the election and in the four or five i election and in the four or five

years i have been an mp, i have knocked on doors and spoken to parents, i have volunteered at the food bank, and we know that the cost of living crisis and child poverty is right up there in terms of issues that people care about. so it's really important that we do not waste time or tinker around the edgesin waste time or tinker around the edges in terms of what needs to be done, we know what needs to be done. the evidence is there, the research has been done, and we know that this is the key driver of child poverty. gordon brown has said that, said david robert has said that as well, so we need to address this. so you are now suspended, _ so we need to address this. so you are now suspended, how _ so we need to address this. so you are now suspended, how you - so we need to address this. so you| are now suspended, how you going so we need to address this. so you i are now suspended, how you going to serve your constituents? figs are now suspended, how you going to serve your constituents? $5 a serve your constituents? as a backbench — serve your constituents? as a backbench mp, _ serve your constituents? as a backbench mp, i _ serve your constituents? as a backbench mp, iwill- serve your constituents? is — backbench mp, i will continue to serve my constituents in doing casework and representing their interests in parliament, and continuing to vote in a way that i believe represents their interests. thank you very much. now does this bring back memories?

in the late 1980s, the new acid house music scene was emerging. thousands of party—goers attended illegal raves in disused warehouses, and the smiley face symbol was everywhere. now a new immersive exhibition, using virtual reality, is taking people back to the second summer of love. if are you somewhere in those pictures? if are you somewhere in those ictures? , , if are you somewhere in those pictures?— if are you somewhere in those ictures? , , , ., pictures? yes, 'ust there! is that ou? pictures? yes, 'ust there! is that you? unlikely! — ben sidwell reports. acid house music plays. it really took me back, being there in 1989. it was a national moment and it just brought thousands and thousands of people together. probably the last real sort of - cultural revolution in this country. and i think it's a story that deserves to be told. - it's a journey back to 1989 and the heart of the rave scene, telling the stories of those from the west midlands who were at the forefront of a musical revolution, in the early days of acid house. it's more like being

in a documentary experience. it's almost like a film experience, where you are in that film, you're able to interact, the documentary is all around you, and you're on a journey. you're on a journey to discover an illegal acid house party in 1989. the pirate radio stations would sort of be like a line of communication for the promoters. this is in pursuit of repetitive beats, an interactive and immersive virtual reality exhibition at the birmingham museum and art gallery. i tell you what, this is incredibly immersive. it does feel like you're back in a warehouse in 1989. probably the closest i'm ever going to get to time travel. but don't take my word for it. have a look yourself. visitors are transported back to the height of the rave scene in coventry, a time without social media and mobile phones, where flyers, secret phone numbers and word of mouth would lead you to huge illegal warehouse raves, with the story told by those

who were there in 1989. it was very underground, it was very word of mouth. you know, you didn't have mobile phones. things weren't advertised in the way that they are today. but yeah, the actual experience of being in the space and, you know, in front of three, four 5,000 people wasjust incredible at the time. soon as i said the first thing, like, um, "party people - in the house", and the whole crowd is going mental~ _ amazing, absolutely magical. um, just really reminded me of what it used to be like to go out, and just a really special experience. it was fantastic, really took me back. in pursuit of repetitive beats is on at the birmingham museum and art gallery until september the 1st, before it heads out on a national tour. ben sidwell, bbc news. we're joined now by bez

whole country, three parties are springing up everywhere, —— a free party, there was a feeling of a revolution going on. you just wanted to do as much as you can. it felt like you were part of something really special at the time. the eo - le really special at the time. the people who — really special at the time. the people who were _ really special at the time. the people who were watching who may be people who were watching who may he were not part of it, can you explain what was special about it, what was the feeling? it’s what was special about it, what was the feeling?— the feeling? it's 'ust the feeling of, ou the feeling? it's 'ust the feeling of. you know. _ the feeling? it'sjust the feeling of, you know, that. _ the feeling? it'sjust the feeling of, you know, that. when - the feeling? it'sjust the feeling of, you know, that. when we i the feeling? it'sjust the feeling i of, you know, that. when we whizz kids growing up, we used to think about the 60s and the things that went on there, and certainly we were involved in our own cultural revolution. and itjust felt unbelievably good, because you felt like you were at the forefront of an underground music scene, and it was honestly, it felt magical. people were uniting up and down the country, coming together. and it was such a magical feeling.

through the afternoon so here in the west, temperatures will be lower than they will be in the sunshine as we push further east. a top temperature today of a warmer 25 degrees. this evening and overnight, the weather front to continue to push from the west to the east taking cloud and rain with it, it will turn heavy and persistent for a time across northern scotland and the other thing is we are importing humid air so the other thing is we are importing humid airso it the other thing is we are importing humid air so it will be quite an oppressive night, 11 to 16 degrees. tomorrow a weatherfront oppressive night, 11 to 16 degrees. tomorrow a weather front continues to move to the east, a second one coming in so the rain on this one will pep up across southern areas. later another one comes into the north west. a cloudy start, patchy rain moving away. as a second weather front comes in rain moving away. as a second weatherfront comes in it rain moving away. as a second weather front comes in it brings rain moving away. as a second weatherfront comes in it brings in heavy rain across the english channel, the channel islands, and across southern counties in south east counties of england. as we move north of that, dry weather, variable

amounts of cloud, some brightness and sunshine but as the new weather front comes in across scotland and northern ireland, we will see some rain here. temperatures down on to take a maximum of 20. as we start friday, cloud to clear from the south—east will go there quickly, friday we will start off largely dry with a fair bit of sunshine. showers across scotland and northern ireland, some of that will be heavy and is as temperatures rise through the day we could see a few kicked off across parts of england and wales. that takes us into the weekend. we have high pressure building in, but on saturday there is a weather front close to the west so we start on saturday with the early cloud in the south—east which should push away, and a lot of dry weather, sunshine and showers coming in across scotland and northern ireland, a few across northern england and as temperatures rise, we could see the odd shower sparked off. top temperatures up to 22

into one of the most musically successful families of all time. i started when i was seven. i don't ever remember being asked. ijust remember doing it, as far as making music. we had a studio at home growing up and whatever time of night and day, couldn't sleep at night, you'd go in the studio and you'd just create music, put something down if you had an idea. and i remember being... i'd written my first song when i was nine years old. it was called fantasy. oh, my god. do you still remember it, can you sing it? no, i don't! # dee—dee—dah—dee—dah, dee—dee—dah—dee—dah, fantasy! something like that. that's good. something like that. i went to school the next morning, came home from school, and i hear the song that i had just put down being played. i was so embarrassed.

i was so embarrassed because my... a few of my brothers were listening to it, michael was listening to it, i think randy was listening to it, my father was listening to it. and then my father said, "you're going to sing." and i said, "no, no, no, idon't want to sing." isaid, "no, no, iwant to go to the college and study business law." and he said no. # sweet dreams. under the watchful eye of joe jackson janet's first two albums flopped. it was only when she took charge of her own music with the 1986 album control, that she struck gold. # when i was 17, i did what people told me. with a combination of pop melodies and eye catching choreography. you taught yourself to dance as well, you didn't have formal lessons? no, ididn't. why is that? mother tried when i was very little, putting me in ballet, and,

i mean, i've got a booty. so they would say that i'm not tucking my butt enough. and she hit me, i was young, i was little. a second attempt at taking classes in her teens also went wrong. i was about to shoot an episode of different strokes, and i remember and i remember telling my instructor that, my teacher, and he got a little too close to me. and i felt very, very uncomfortable. and i remember coming out of the class and telling my mother, telling mother, and she said, "that's it, you're not going back." # stop! # that's right # let me tell you, nasty, nasty boys, don't mean a thing. and i think it's a difficult thing in this industry to be, particularly in the 805, an assertive woman. what were the barriers you came up against? being told no.

more than once. saying why? because you're a girl, you can't do that, girls don't do that, it's like, well, why not? it's like, well, somebody is going to, what's wrong with trying it? let's just try it, let's try and see what happens. but eventually you stick in there long enough, you find a way to get your way. # five, four, three, two, one. after control came the socially conscious rhythm nation, which is still the only record in us history to produce seven top five hits from a single album. # that's the way love goes. after that came the soft, sensual and romanticjanet album. was that something that you found difficult to express in public? because i guess you go from that to wait a while which is a chastity anthem, them to something

like anytime, anyplace which is very much the opposite. yeah, i remember a journalist back then asking me, what happened? you said let's wait a while, and i said, i'm 27, how long you want me to wait? so that's what that album was about. and, you know, i was really trying to work on myself, trying to get over some of these insecurities i felt, you know. being so self conscious of how i looked, my body, things like that. that's a whole other story! i'm honoured to welcome msjanet jackson. with awards from the mob05, the grammys, and even a place in the rock'n'roll hall of fame, janet has a host of achievements. but she says her proudest moment is becoming a mother at the age of 50. tell me a bit about being a mum, your son is seven now... and a half. seven and a half.

how is that? the most beautiful thing. the most beautiful thing, i was so thankful god allowed me to have this experience, this journey in my life. and i love every single minute of it. # together again, the times we'll share again. # together again, makes me want to dance. so, the tour is coming to europe in september. yes. and you sing scream every night. that must be very emotional, to celebrate your brother in that way. yeah, you know, it's listening to him every night saying and remembering us, once again in new york, mike and i wrote that song in his apartment. the emotion and what he was going through at that time, just me being his little sister, always being by his side, and being that support system, you know what i mean? and that's always been my role. and you still do some of the dance routines from those old videos, do people in the audience do them

back at you? are you kidding me? yes! i see them doing rhythm nation march, i see them doing a lot of stuff. and they're also dressed, dressed like me. i can only do the one, which is the countdown. the rhythm nation? shall we do it together? yeah. five, four, three, two, one. you did it very well. thank you! dario choreographed a little piece in all for you and it counts down, three, two, one, no, it's four, three, two, one. and he put four, three, two, one. i'll practice that later. that's the new one! everybody jump! everybodyjump, come on, jump! jump! # smiling back at me, dancing in the light, i know you are free. jump,jon!
