to spending £8.3 billion of public money, investing in wind power on land and at sea. new technologies, like carbon capture, nuclear power and community schemes on a small scale, or for local communities to benefit from big projects near them. they hope that will be matched by £60 billion of private company investment. but there's no guarantee that will happen. so will it work? i think gb energy is fixing a different problem, which is more about who owns the assets rather than whether or not they get built. it's a government priority to say that the gb state owns some of it, which doesn't necessarily fix the issue, which is making it investa ble. it's a bigger issue for hitting our targets. we need to have the certainty of revenues for investors to say, "yes, i will put my money down." because with a renewable project, most of the capital injection is up front. you need to spend a lot of money at the beginning. today, the crown estate is getting in on the act. it owns vast swathes of coastline

and seabed around the uk, and says that partnering with the government will half the time it takes to get offshore wind projects delivering power. so the ball is now rolling on a key election promise. but it's a long term plan, which needs a fair wind from investors. that means customers are unlikely to see any benefit in their bills for a long time yet. colletta, smith, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. morning to you. there are big numbers attached to this and it is a big political pledge. the big question is, what difference will it make? . , ., , ., make? that is right. labour needs to net this make? that is right. labour needs to get this right — make? that is right. labour needs to get this right and _ make? that is right. labour needs to get this right and get _ make? that is right. labour needs to get this right and get it _ make? that is right. labour needs to get this right and get it right - get this right and get it right fast. one of their vows during the general election campaign they retain in government is to have

clean power by 2030. lots of experts think that is a tall order and some of them frankly implausible. if they are to hit hit labour needs to get everything right from the start. that is one reason you are seeing this announcement so urgently. a couple of other things worth noting. this is strikingly interventionist. you have a labour government talking about owning and building things on behalf of the british people. the other thing is that word british. the gb part of gb energy really being emphasised by the government today. they are talking about how it is unpatriotic idea for the uk to have an energy company, like france, sweden and denmark and other countries. it is a partnership with the crown estate, part of the monarchy. that has a certain symbolism as well. what people

really care about is whether it works and it cuts bills. that ultimately will be the test of this policy for the government. overnight president biden has been addressing the us nation. this is since kamala harris was mentioned as their new presidential candidate for their new presidential candidate for the democrats. we hadn't heard publicly from joe biden. the us presidentjoe biden has addressed the nation for the first time since he announced he would no longer seek re—election. in a televised speech from the oval office, mr biden also laid out plans for his final six months in office. our correspondent, will grant, has more. ina in a speech no sitting president has delivered in more than half a century, joe biden confirmed his decision to drop out of the race to the american people. it was time for new voices and, yes, he acknowledged, younger voices. i have decided the best _ acknowledged, younger voices. i have decided the best way _ acknowledged, younger voices. i have decided the best way forward - acknowledged, youngervoices. i we: decided the best way forward is acknowledged, youngervoices. i he: decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.

absolutely. the idea that this was going to be simply an explanation of his health and he was going to lean into all of those questions from the republicans was never very likely. he was not going to turn this into a campaign speech either. it has been greeted by praise and applause from supporters, president 0bama on social media. this idea he is stepping aside for saving american democracy from, as he would see it, the threat of donald trump's second term. nevertheless, a lot of people will be asking about what was not in there. no realfully throated come back to the republicans accusations against him. no fully throated defence of kamala harris or her campaign. plenty of questions about how it will affect the vote, how it will affect the race. at this stage

what he wanted to do was knock to campaign speech, a valedictory speech, and he is pretty confident that history willjudge him kindly in that regard. 0f that history willjudge him kindly in that regard. of course there is a long way to go and he will be cheering from the sidelines for kamala harris from this moment forward. ., ~ kamala harris from this moment forward. ., ,, , ., kamala harris from this moment forward. ., ~' , ., , kamala harris from this moment forward. ., ,, i. , . a crowd of people has protested outside a police station in greater manchester after a video emerged showing a police officer kicking a man in the head at the city's airport. i should warn you that the footage, which we are about to show you, is shocking. greater manchester police has referred itself for investigation and they said that three of the officers were injured. it has removed one officer from operational duties following the video.

police in kent say they have been granted more time to question a 24—year—old man on suspicion of attempted murder after an army officer was stabbed outside a barracks yesterday. the victim, who is in his forties, is in a serious condition in hospital. police say they have recovered a number of knives from the scene in gillingham. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu will hold talks with president biden at the white house this afternoon, at a time of strained relations between the two leaders. yesterday, mr netanyahu gave an address to the us congress, which was praised by republicans, boycotted by democrats and sparked pro—palestinian demonstrations outside. the actor, amanda abbington, said she has been under pressure from "brutal, relentless and unforgiving" threats from fans of strictly come dancing. the actor has previously made accusations about the teaching methods of her strictly partner, giovanni pernice, who has denied her claims and since left the show. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, reports. amanda abbington says she went on to strictly, thinking it would be hard work but fun. speaking on camera for the first time about her experiences with her professional dance

partner giovanni pernice, she told channel 4 news that what happened in the rehearsal room left her with ptsd. it still has a lasting effect on me, like i still can't talk about certain things that happened in that room because of... because it immediately triggers a feeling of anxiety. and that's not right. this is a bbc show on a saturday night. this response shouldn't happen from a bbc show. that's crazy. giovanni pernice has refuted her allegations and denied any accusations of abusive or threatening behaviour. he says he has provided substantive evidence to the bbc investigation and remains confident of clearing his name. in the time since amanda abbington has voiced her unhappiness, she says she's been shocked by the brutal reaction from some

individuals on social media. the aftermath has been something that i wasn't expecting. um, you know, the death threats and the rape threats towards not only myself but my daughter. and the threats of death to my son. by what — by strictly fans or? and giovanni fans and, um... yeah, it'sjust been, you know, when you get like, one or two of those, you can kind of go, "oh, god", you know, but i was getting, like, dozens a day. giovanni pernice has never condoned such comments or threats. the bbc has said it takes complaints like amanda abbington's extremely seriously, and has put in place additional safeguarding measures for the next series of strictly later this year. lizo mzimba, bbc news. more than 10,000 international athletes have descended on the french capital ahead of the launch of the olympic games tomorrow.

team gb are hoping to capitalise on the 64 medals brought home from tokyo four years ago. 0ur sport correspondent natalie pirks reports from paris. even when you've been there, done it and got the t—shirt, every day is a school day. oh wait, that's the video! for tom daley and helen glover, at their fifth and fourth olympics, carrying the flag for team gb on friday will be a whole new experience, but this time, with their children watching, paris will be a family affair. it's a dream come true. ever since i first walked out into an olympic opening ceremony in 2008, walking behind mark foster with the british flag, i just thought one day, how cool would that be if i ever got the opportunity to do that? and yeah, it's very special and i know that it was something that my dad really, really, really... well, you know. i don't... ifi... if he was around right now, i don't think he would actually believe that this was happening. british athletes will want for nothing in paris.

yeah, i could definitely have a nap in here. soundproof sleep pods, bespoke menus and family areas at team gb�*s performance lodge could help provide the edge in the quest for medals. team gb is bringing 327 athletes to paris — its smallest team since beijing. but they're hoping to win medals across a wider range of sports than ever before. for the second successive olympics, there are more female athletes than men, but they're chasing a medal haul of between 50 and 70 medals. a minimum is hoped for of 60, which they've achieved at the last three olympics. i do think it's a very, very talented team that we've brought here. i do think it is stacked with medal potential, and it's really whether we can support athletes to convert that medal potential into podium places. over the next fortnight, we'll see a mix of familiar faces and new names, like the most successful gymnast in british history, max whitlock, returning for his fourth and final olympics before retirement, and 17 year old phoebe gill, who will become

the youngest british track athlete at a games for more than four decades in the women's 800m. 19—year—old commonwealth champion diver andrea spendolini—sirieix is back in france, home of her famous father, fred, but she's not allowing herself to dream just yet. what i've learned is pressure really kills joy. a medal and a performance doesn't determine and doesn't make me who i am. i want to enjoy it and i want to take it all in. team gb finished fourth at the tokyo games with an impressive 64 medals, 22 of which were gold. not long now to see if records can be broken in the city of love. natalie pirks, bbc news, paris. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. it cloudy start to the

day. also murky and blank out towards the west. 0ne day. also murky and blank out towards the west. one thing we will all notice is the humid start. it will remain humid during the course of the day with some of us seeing some rain. a lot of cloud around. some when moving across southern counties of england during the day. some more showery rain coming in across western scotland and northern ireland pushing eastwards during the course of the afternoon. in between it should brighten up and we will see sunny spells develop as well. brisk winds, especially in the south. top temperatures in lincolnshire, for example, 23 or 24. this evening and overnight mooring sweeps across some southern counties. still a few showers knocking around. clear skies as well. one thing you will notice, for most, it will be a fresher night than last night. perhaps more humidity when there is cloud across

the far south—east. the reason it will be fresher is this cold front moving away. fresher air follows on behind. tomorrow will feel quite different than today. talking of tomorrow, the early cloud in the south—east is the way. a fair bit of sunshine and dry weather. scattered showers developing initially in the west. some of them will push east, especially in the northern half of the country. it would be less windy and less breezy and today. the 23 in the sunshine will feel quite pleasant. the sunshine will feel quite pleasant-— an investigation by bbc news has found it would take the nhs eight years to see all adult patients currently waiting for an adhd assessment across the uk. it comes as figures suggest nearly 200,000 individuals are awaiting a diagnosis for the condition, as our health correspondent catherine burns reports. you might think adhd is just when you struggle to concentrate. these people would disagree.

it feels like adhd is being bad at all the things that people find simple. undiagnosed, you walk around with a lot of shame. self—medicating with drink and drugs |was how i was managing it, and i... | really, i can't function. i don't like people calling adhd a superpower, it's certainly not a superpower for me. people with adhd can struggle with focus, hyperactivity and impulse control. so do you also have i constant multiple...? as society and social media has become more open about adhd? more people are asking to be assessed to see if they have it, —— as society and social media has become more open about adhd. more people are asking to be assessed to see if they have it, but no—one knows how many. there's no official data. so we asked trusts and health boards across the uk about their adult adhd services, and can now reveal the pressure they're under. so here's what we know. there are at least 195,000 adults waiting for nhs adhd assessments. demand has quadrupled overfive

years, and now the national backlog for those assessments is more than eight years. here's a city that is struggling. sheffield health and social care nhs foundation trust told us it has 6,737 people on its waiting list. so we got together a group, who all asked for help here. last year, they did three assessments. no. makes me sad that there's that many people, evenjust in sheffield, just struggling without a diagnosis. if they continued working at this pace, it would take more than 2,000 years to see everyone who's already waiting. speechless. devastating. that's shocking. shocking. of course, no—one is going to wait 2,000 years, but it shows the service here just isn't working.

at no point would we have 6,700 people with untreated broken legs sitting at home, not being able to go to work and going, "oh, that's fine". the nhs has only got a limited pot of money. there's cancer, there's emergency care, there's life or death situations. what would you say to that? this is a life or death situation. i personally tried to take my own life twice before i got my diagnosis, because of the stress and trauma of having to navigate a world that i didn't understand. sheffield health and social care declined to give us an interview but told us it has focussed on treating people who've already been diagnosed instead of doing new assessments. it gave us this statement... and continued...

sheffield is an extreme example, but across the uk our data shows a clear picture. a system that is no longer fit—for—purpose. northern ireland doesn't officially commission any adult adhd services, but belfast health and social care trust does assessments anyway. and we know that at least four trusts in england have closed or partly closed their waiting lists. i have never seen anything like the demand that i've seen for adhd services. it's the speed of the growth and the size of the growth. health authorities across the uk say they're trying to improve the service. we've seen a huge upswing in people seeking help with... nhs england told us patients are waiting too long for an adhd diagnosis and so it's launched a taskforce to help manage the rising number of referrals. back in sheffield, louise is still on a waiting list.

katie paid for a private diagnosis. nelly and rob found another option — right to choose. it's a legal right in england, which lets you get a private diagnosis paid for by the nhs. what difference has being assessed made to you? it has just validated my whole entire life and existence on this planet. i'm kinder to myself now. i'm not beating myself up going, "why am i doing this?" i can say, "well, this isjust who i am". the person that i am post diagnosis is unrecognisable from the person that i was before. it's rounded out who i am as a person. catherine burns, bbc news. later on in the programme we will have a number of people on the programme who have had delayed

diagnosis. is coming out later on in the programme. you can find organisations offering help and support over on the bbc action line website. nearly a week ago everyone was worried about the it outage. we are still playing catch up on some of the after effects. my local hardware shop are still having problems taking card payments. the question now comes as to whether customers, those who are missing flights, for example, are getting any compensation. yes, good morning. it's a deeply frustrating time for thousands of people. some are still finding their flights are cancelled or disrupted nearly a week later.

more than 700 flights to and from the uk were cancelled last weekend. that's around 100,000 people affected. passengers have described having to sleep on the floor at the airport, and we have some images, forking out huge sums for emergency hotel rooms and a general lack of communication from airlines. including tui customer laura, who was trying to get back from a family holiday in rhodes. we sought out... nobody knew what to do. we sought out... nobody knew what to do we _ we sought out... nobody knew what to do we were _ we sought out... nobody knew what to do. we were given a couple of bottles — do. we were given a couple of bottles of _ do. we were given a couple of bottles of water and we set up camp on the _ bottles of water and we set up camp on the airport floor. a loft told the children and adults were either on the _ the children and adults were either on the floor sleeping or had to lie across_ on the floor sleeping or had to lie across chairs to go to sleep. you put your— across chairs to go to sleep. you put your faith in travelling with a reputable — put your faith in travelling with a reputable company like tui. i know it was— reputable company like tui. i know it was sort— reputable company like tui. i know it was sort of a circumstance that was out —

outside of their control — and that while airlines still have a duty of care to customers, passengers shouldn't expect automatic compensation. later on, we'll be joined by travel expert simon calder. do send us your questions for simon. get in touch in the usual ways — the details are on your screen now. and please include your name and where you are getting in touch from. lots of people will be getting in touch because lots of people did last week. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. the expansion of the ultra low emission zone is working better then predicted according to research by city hall. london's air quality continues to improve at a faster rate than

the rest of england. exhaust emissions from cars in outer london are estimated to be 22 per cent lower than without the expansion with a 53% reduction in non—compliant vehicles injust under a year. city hall conservatives said millions had been spent on a "minimal reduction" in pollution. a woman from south—east london says she and her three children have not had a steady supply of water in their flat for almost three months. charlene said access to water in her home in crystal palace was sporadic and she sometimes had no supply for up to seven hours. she said although the housing association hyde group had sent a plumber it had not been resolved, and four of the six flats in her building remained affected. whether it be washing your hands, flushing the toilet, it literally impacts every aspect of our lives, whether it be like cooking something where i need waterfor, drinking water as it's got hotter, running the children baths, if they eat

in the evening, washing their hair. i mean, you could be halfway through showering your child and then the water switches off. in a statement hyde group said "we're sorry that miss godrey and her neighbours are experiencing issues with the water in their building. we are investigating and we're trying to get to the bottom of why the water is running dry so quickly. a man accused of attempting to kidnap an essex coroner told his trial that allegations made against him had been "blown way out of proportion". its alleged sean harper attempted to abduct senior coroner lincoln brookes when he was part of an "anti—establishment cult" that stormed into essex coroner's court in april 2023. the defendant has denied conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on picadilly and metroppolitan — and the ongoing 0verground closure between hackney downs and chingford. good service on all other lines now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning.

it's a pretty cloudy start this morning. we've had some outbreaks of rain overnight. we'll see further outbreaks of rain today but it is feeling quite humid. but the temperatures although not suggesting it's as warm as it has been, it is going to feel rather sticky now. these outbreaks of rain could turn heavy and persistent, especially further south. further north, some breaks potentially in the cloud. later, temperatures 21 celsius. then overnight tonight we'll see more cloud. further spells of rain, at least for a time. but they will gradually start to clear away as the front clears behind, and it will start to feel a bit fresher. minimum temperature 12 to 14 celsius. so a brighter start tomorrow. we will see a bit of cloud building up through the course of the day, but largely dry with some sunshine and temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 23 celsius. now it's going to stay largely fine dry as we head into the weekend as well. 0utside chance of a shower, but you'll notice by the time we get into next week, we'll see more sunshine and the temperature will start to feel a little warmer. i'll have more news, weather and travel updates for you in half an hour but now it's time to hand you back

in the last ten years, we've seen 20% more days with the heaviest rainfall in an average year. but it is the increase in really hot weather that stands out from the data. look at this map. it shows how in the 30 years from 1961, only london and hampshire recorded an average of six or more days with temperatures over 28 c in a year. the met office describes these as hot days. spin forward to the last ten years, and virtually the whole of england and wales now gets that many hot days every year, while the south east now experiences an average of over 12 days above 28 celsius every year. and there is much more evidence of this warming trend. the new report confirms 2023 was the second warmest year on record for the uk. it had the hottestjune ever recorded in the country and the joint warmest september.

the statistics are from the observations in this report really speak for themselves, that our climate is not just going to change in the future. it is already changing right now. it is the increasingly frequent weather extremes that have the biggest impact on all of us. our increasingly hot weather stretches our health care systems. as vulnerable people fall ill, it damages our infrastructure and it disrupts our daily lives. what is really striking as you had in the _ what is really striking as you had in the report is the increasing number— in the report is the increasing number of— in the report is the increasing number of record—breaking temperatures we've experienced, so the met _ temperatures we've experienced, so the met office says it has rapidly accelerated so we see many more record—breaking hot temperatures record— breaking hot temperatures than record—breaking hot temperatures than before and once nearly interesting is we see virtually no new records for cool temperatures so the pass— new records for cool temperatures so the pass or— new records for cool temperatures so the pass or extreme temperatures is increasing _ the pass or extreme temperatures is increasing and as carol said earlier

hello, good morning from bbc london. the expansion of the ultra low emission zone is working better then predicted according to a new city hall report. the study found that roadside pollution in outer london was down three and a half percent on average, compared to what it would've been without ulez. and nitrogen oxide emissions from cars were cut by thirteen percent. but city hall conservatives said millions had been spent on a "minimal reduction" in pollution. a woman from south—east london says she and her three children haven't had a steady supply of water in their flat for almost three months. charlene said access to water in her home in crystal palace was sporadic and she sometimes had no supply for up to seven hours.

she said although the housing association hyde group had sent a plumber it had not been resolved, and four of the six flats in her building remained affected. whether it be washing your hands, flushing the toilet, it literally impacts every aspect of our lives, whether it be like cooking something where i need waterfor, drinking water as it's got hotter, running the children baths, if they eat in the evening, washing their hair. i mean, you could be halfway through showering your child and then the water switches off. in a statement, hyde group have apologised and said they're investigating and trying to get to the bottom of why the water's running dry so quickly. a man accused of attempting to kidnap an essex coroner told his trial that allegations made against him had been "blown way out of proportion". it's alleged sean harper attempted to abduct senior coroner lincoln brookes when he was part of an "anti—establishment cult" that stormed into essex coroner's court in april 2023. the defendant has denied conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment. let's take a look at the tubes now.

minor delays on metropolitan — and the ongoing 0verground closure between hackney downs and chingford. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a pretty cloudy start this morning. we've had some outbreaks of rain overnight. we'll see further outbreaks of rain today but it is feeling quite humid. but the temperatures although not suggesting it's as warm as it has been, it is going to feel rather sticky now. these outbreaks of rain could turn heavy and persistent, especially further south. further north, some breaks potentially in the cloud. later, temperatures 21 celsius. then overnight tonight we'll see more cloud. further spells of rain, at least for a time. but they will gradually start to clear away as the front clears behind, and it will start to feel a bit fresher. minimum temperature 12 to iii celsius. so a brighter start tomorrow. we will see a bit of cloud building up through the course of the day, but largely dry

with some sunshine and temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 23 celsius. now, it's going to stay largely fine dry as we head into the weekend as well. outside chance of a shower, but you'll notice by the time we get into next week, we'll see more sunshine and the temperature will start to feel a little warmer. i'll have more news, weather and travel updates for you in half an hour but now it's time to hand you back to naga and charlie.

it good morn it ing. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... a partnership between the government and the crown estate to help the uk become energy independent will be announced later today. protests over a video showing police kicking a man in the head at the city's airport in manchester. i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. president biden explains to the american people why he's decided not to stand for re—election. actor amanda abbington says she and her family received death and rape threats after making allegations against her former strictly come dancing partner, giovanni pernice.

in sport... the right time, and the right place to retire. two—time gold medallist andy murray tells us he is happy to be ending his career at the olympics. a cloudy start to the day today. we have rain which will top and tail the country in between sunny spells developing. wherever you are, it will feel humid. all of the details shortly. it's thursday, 25thjuly. it's hoped a new partnership between the government and the crown estate will help deliver clean energy for the uk, and bring down utility bills for households and business by 2030. it comes as great british energy, the publicly—owned company at the heart of the plans, is officially introduced in parliament later. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith reports. the price, the source and the future of energy in the uk are hot topics. so now the government is putting a little more meat on the bones of their election pledge to create

great british energy. the company won't supply any power to households. instead, the goal is to change the way energy is made and who owns those resources. the government is committed to spending £8.3 billion of public money, investing in wind power on land and at sea. new technologies, like carbon capture, nuclear power and community schemes on a small scale, or for local communities to benefit from big projects near them. they hope that will be matched by £60 billion of private company investment. but there's no guarantee that will happen. so will it work? i think gb energy is fixing a different problem, which is more about who owns the assets rather than whether or not they get built. it's a government priority to say that the gb state owns some of it, which doesn't necessarily fix the issue, which is making it investa ble.

it's a bigger issue for hitting our targets. we need to have the certainty of revenues for investors to say, "yes, i will put my money down." because with a renewable project, most of the capital injection is up front. you need to spend a lot of money at the beginning. today, the crown estate is getting in on the act. it owns vast swathes of coastline and seabed around the uk, and says that partnering with the government will half the time it takes to get offshore wind projects delivering power. so the ball is now rolling on a key election promise. but it's a long term plan, which needs a fair wind from investors. that means customers are unlikely to see any benefit in their bills for a long time yet. colletta, smith, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. morning to you. we have big numbers, big finance, a big political

commitment. no question that was asked about, will there be a big difference to people's bills? that is the real question in the medium and long term. no wonder labour and this government are so determined to get it right. they have a big, bold pledge, clean power by 2030. a lot of energy experts think it is so ambitious to make it implausible. they made that pledge in the election campaign and that is why there is this flurry of activity from ed miliband, the new energy secretary. a couple of things to note. it is strikingly interventionist. ed miliband talking about the government wanting to own and build things again on behalf of the british people. i think the gb part of gb energy is really important. it is talking about how they should be a publicly owned energy company, as there is in

various european countries. almost a patriotic argument. labour talked about this during the election campaign as a way of lowering bills. a lot of people will be watching to see how fast this new publicly interventionist and more green approach will feed through to bills or if the energy go —— it ever does. thank you very much. a crowd of protesters gathered outside rochdale police station in greater manchester overnight — demonstrating against an incident in which a video emerged showing a police officer kicking a man in the head. our correspondent has been following the story. our correspondent has been following the sto . ._ ., ., ., the story. some may find the footage we are about — the story. some may find the footage we are about to _ the story. some may find the footage we are about to show— the story. some may find the footage we are about to show you _ the story. some may find the footage we are about to show you shocking. l we are about to show you shocking. the male officer is seen holding a taser over a man lying on the floor and then stamping on and kicking his

head. this happened following reports of a fight at the terminal on tuesday evening when three officers were punched and one suffered a broken nose. greater manchester police has called this video truly shocking and an officer has been removed from operational duties. four men were arrested for affray and assault. the full is has referred itself to the police watchdog. hundreds gathered at the protest last night. it concluded safely without an incident. the chief constable says they understand the immense feeling of concern and worry people feel and fully respect the right to demonstrate the use peacefully. the full is is expected to have further discussions with the independent office for police conduct later today.- independent office for police conduct later today. thank you very much. the us presidentjoe biden has

addressed the nation for the first time since he announced he would no longer seek re—election. in a televised speech from the oval office, mr biden also laid out plans for his final six months in office. our correspondent, will grant, has more. in a speech no sitting president has delivered in more than half a century, joe biden confirmed his decision to drop out of the race to the american people. it was time for new voices and, yes, he acknowledged, younger voices. so i have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. that is the best way to unite our nation. nothing could get in the way of saving democracy, said president biden, including personal ambition. he painted november's vote as a choice between forwards and back, hope and hate, unity or division. despite republicans calling for him to resign the presidency, mr biden said he had no intention of stepping aside. over the next six months, i will be focused on doing myjob as president.

i will continue to lower costs for hard working families. growing our economy, i will keep defending our personal freedoms and civil rights from the right to vote to the right to choose. many of those watching were not to the last time a us president did this. in 1968, lyndonjohnson moved aside only to see the republican challenger richard nixon ultimately win the presidency. mr biden will hope history won't be repeating itself with donald trump. in north carolina, the candidate turned on the president and his new presumptive rival alike. we have defeated the worst president in the history of our country, crooked joe biden. he quit because he was losing so badly in the polls when he was down in every single pole and down by a lot, so he quit. cheering. politics is all mr

biden has ever known. a career that has spanned five decades from, as he put it, a kid with a stutter to the white house. this decision will define his legacy. november's vote will define whether that gamble has worked. will grant, bbc news, washington. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu will hold talks with president biden at the white house this afternoon, at a time of strained relations between the two leaders. yesterday, mr netanyahu gave an address to the us congress, which was praised by republicans, boycotted by democrats and sparked pro—palestinian demonstrations outside. police have been granted further time to question a 2k year—old man, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, after an army officer was stabbed outside a barracks in gillingham. the victim, who is in his forties remains in a serious condition in hospital. police have recovered a number of knives from the scene.

the actor, amanda abbington, said she has been under pressure from "brutal, relentless and unforgiving" threats from fans of strictly come dancing. the actor has previously made accusations about the teaching methods of her strictly partner, giovanni pernice, who has denied her claims and since left the show. our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, reports. amanda abbington says she went on to strictly, thinking it would be hard work but fun. speaking on camera for the first time about her experiences with her professional dance partner giovanni pernice, she told channel 4 news that what happened in the rehearsal room left her with ptsd. it still has a lasting effect on me, like i still can't talk about certain things that happened in that room because of... because it immediately triggers a feeling of anxiety. and that's not right. this is a bbc show on a saturday night. this response shouldn't

happen from a bbc show. that's crazy. giovanni pernice has refuted her allegations and denied any accusations of abusive or threatening behaviour. he says he has provided substantive evidence to the bbc investigation and remains confident of clearing his name. in the time since amanda abbington has voiced her unhappiness, she says she's been shocked by the brutal reaction from some individuals on social media. the aftermath has been something that i wasn't expecting. um, you know, the death threats and the rape threats towards not only myself but my daughter. and the threats of death to my son. by what — by strictly fans or...? and giovanni fans and, um... yeah, it'sjust been, you know, when you get, like, one or two of those, you can kind of go, "oh, god",

you know, but i was getting, like, dozens a day. giovanni pernice has never condoned such comments or threats. the bbc has said it takes complaints like amanda abbington's extremely seriously, and has put in place additional safeguarding measures for the next series of strictly later this year. lizo mzimba, bbc news. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a fairly cloudy start today, murky in the west with low cloud, drizzle and misty conditions. a humid start. humidity will be with us today but it will change tonight for most. also the chance of some rain. if you have an allergy to pollen, these are the levels today. low for most of us can accept across

north—east england where they are high. a cloudy start to the day with rain coming in across southern counties of england, pushing south—east. the cloud picking up full showers elsewhere. into the afternoon, quite a bit too cloud across southern areas will stop heavier rain to come overnight. north words —— in the north by the cloud and showers developing. in northern ireland that there were outbreaks of rain pushing easter during the day. this evening, these are the afternoon temperatures, up to 23, 24. this evening sees further rain coming in across the far south of england. that showers will move east across scotland and clearing skies behind. these are the overnight lows. for most of us it will be fresher. we have this plant in the south—east by the tail end of a weather front and he will be

humid. that cloud will clear early doors tomorrow. a lot of dry weather and sunshine around. further showers developing, especially in the north and west. some of them will get into northern england. they feel there is unlikely to be heavy, up to 23 degrees, the top temperature tomorrow. degrees, the top temperature tomorrow— see you later. ukraine's battlefields have been transformed by the use of drones, with some small enough to attack and kill individual soldiers — others able to reach larger targets such as armoured vehicles. with little movement on the frontline, our correspondent quentin sommerville and camera journalist darren conway have been to see the real impact these now vital weapons are having for those on the ground. russia's invasion has cast ukraine into darkness. a new, deadly threat from above has thrown its people deep into wars.

—— a new, deadly threat from above has thrown its people deep into war�*s bleak future. hidden in underground command centres in kharkiv, the national guard's drone teams battled day and night to keep the danger at bay. every drone can take 1 or 2kg bomb that heated directly to the enemy shelter, enemy infantry and enemy armoured vehicle. they are cheap and devastatingly precise. here, a team hunts a russian soldier. there is no way, uh, to be alive after fpv drone hitting. and another threat. glide bombs fitted with guidance systems allow russian aircraft to attack from beyond the battlefield, literally gliding onto their target. they are turning this place to dust. with drone jamming

equipment on their vehicle, this man takes us for a closer look. we're going very fast. why is that? is it because it's because of drones? because of the drones? because of drones, yes. it's dangerous here. here is the lot of russian type drones. a lot of it. russian fpv drones. a lot of them. that's why we're using now ourjamming system. but it doesn't stop all drones. and once out in the open, they're exposed. ten metres between us. yeah. so we have to move fast. this is what drones and glide bombs have done. crossing open ground can be deadly. getting to shelter. moving deep underground is the only protection against these weapons. what kind of mission is this today? is it surveillance? is it attack? no, no, it's... it's attacking. and probable, uh, positions

of the russian army in the forest. command centre. drone after drone is sent forward to attack. we should go to the safe place. go, go, go. we watch in real time. they have a russian vehicle in their sights every day. about 100 enemy died because of these drones. only in our frontline. this is a battlefield. a war being transformed by technology. detection. one drone. multiple pilots. high signal strength. unseen but identified above. a russian drone. it's time to head for cover. so that's outgoing fire. so along these front lines, the ukrainians have gained about 500m of territory from the russians. it's not a lot. and it's been hard fought over.

the company commander here says that when it comes to drone warfare, the ukrainians have the advantage. but as far as glide bombs are concerned, well, russia has a serious upper hand. but now we can hear the drone directly above us. everyone freezes. no, no, please. it's looking for any kind of movement before it strikes. eventually we get the all clear. so that drone we heard has passed overhead. so we need to get out here fast. drones were barely a factor in this war a year ago. now they are everywhere. always. detection. multiple drones, multiple pilots, high signal strength. any journey over ground is nerve wracking.

it's a game of chance. but here, even closer to the front, russian glide bombs are a greater threat. 10 kilograms bomb. russian calls it bogeyman drone. the bogeyman is big enough to take out an armoured vehicle or a command post. it has to be launched fast before the russians find their position. they fly manually while keeping watch for russian glide bombardments. and soon they come. this is a glide bomb. you can see it in the camera. it's on the battlefield now. they are hitting the trenches with soliders. now we can hear the sound. the window shook. what happens if russian glide bombs strike this area? i think we will die.

0k. let's go. and now russia responds with drones too. should move fast. because drone is coming back. on ukraine's battlefield, the rules of war are being rewritten. and here they say all wars will soon be fought this way. quentin sommerville, bbc news, northeastern ukraine. quentin joins us now live from lviv. many people will be shocked about what they have seen, what this technology can do. how does it feel when you are witnessing this new generation of technology? it is generation of technology? it is terrifying- _ generation of technology? it is terrifying- we _ generation of technology? it 3 terrifying. we know that war is wickedly inventive. none of this technology in these numbers was there a year ago. now there are drone detectors and the way men and

women operate on the front line has had to change. when on open ground, they had to be faster and more careful because of this constant threat of drones. when you see that footage coming from ukrainian drones or russian trends when they have soldiers in their sites and those soldiers in their sites and those soldiers know that when they hear that drone it is almost certain death, done that is terrifying because they are being chased around these battle zones and the drones are able to fix on them and you see their very last moments, their last moments of life in some cases. they will either be horribly injured or killed. that is a significant development. infantry is still very important, artillery is very important. drones have come onto this battle space on the way we have never seen in any war before. it is never seen in any war before. it is absolutely — never seen in any war before. it is absolutely terrifying. with all of this in mind, politically, where are

we? there has been quite a bit of nervousness and anxiety, particularly as the us presidential election is at pace, the campaign. where are we now? i election is at pace, the campaign. where are we now?— election is at pace, the campaign. where are we now? i think here in ukraine, where are we now? i think here in ukraine. |— where are we now? i think here in ukraine, i have _ where are we now? i think here in ukraine, i have been _ where are we now? i think here in ukraine, i have been here - where are we now? i think here in ukraine, i have been here for- where are we now? i think here in | ukraine, i have been here for about ten months, the big difference is a sense of realism has setting. there is an understanding this isn't going to be a short walk. it might last for as long as five years, ten years. of course ukrainians are watching what happens in the united states. they are worried with a change of presidency, it might mean a change in support for them against russia. in many senses, they have no choice. this is an existential war. without fighting it, they can't simply give up because if they did, their country would cease to exist their country would cease to exist their lives would cease to exist. i their lives would cease to exist. i know we are going to show this

report later on in the programme, it is fascinating what is going on. thank you for bringing that to us and your camera journalist as well. suicide, bankruptcy and divorce are just some of the issues expected to come under the spotlight as the first report into the harms of gambling is published later. it comes as charities warn a fifth of the uk population could be affected by the gambling. we'rejoined now byjohn myers, who lost his son ryan to gambling—related suicide, alongside will prochaska from the coalition against gambling ads. good morning to both of you. i wonder if we can start with you. you are campaigning fora wonder if we can start with you. you are campaigning for a very personal reason. ten years, i think i sent ryan lost his life. would you mind sharing a little bit of that story so people can understand how it has affected you?—

around that time. he loved his van. he was a carpenter in his own van which he had kitted out himself. that is what he wanted. he said, i am selling my van. why are you doing that? my work is giving me one. when i looked, that was one of the times when he had lost money. brute i looked, that was one of the times when he had lost money.— when he had lost money. we have heard so many _ when he had lost money. we have heard so many times _ when he had lost money. we have heard so many times about - when he had lost money. we have heard so many times about how i when he had lost money. we have. heard so many times about how the lies start and they feel guilty and they cannot stop. this report today, they cannot stop. this report today, the first annual report of gambling survey of great britain, it is all very well. we keep hearing stories like this. what does this report —— what hope from this report will have a tangible impact on people addicted to gambling and for which it has ruined their lives? brute to gambling and for which it has ruined their lives?— to gambling and for which it has ruined their lives? we don't need statistics to _ ruined their lives? we don't need statistics to show _ ruined their lives? we don't need statistics to show us _ ruined their lives? we don't need statistics to show us the - ruined their lives? we don't need statistics to show us the harm - statistics to show us the harm caused by the gambling industry in this country. statistics up until

sporadic and she sometimes had no supply for up to seven hours. whether it be washing your hands, flushing the toilet, it literally impacts every aspect of our lives, whether it be like cooking something where i need waterfor, drinking water as it's got hotter, running the children's baths, if they eat in the evening, washing their hair. i mean, you could be halfway through showering your child and then the water switches off. in a statement hyde group have apologised and said they're investigating and trying to get to the bottom of why the water's running dry so quickly. a man accused of attempting to kidnap an essex coroner told his trial that allegations made against him had been "blown way out of proportion". it's alleged sean harper attempted to abduct senior coroner lincoln brookes when he was part of an "anti—establishment cult" that stormed into essex coroner's court in april, 2023. the defendant has denied conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment. the london ambulance service

is looking to raise money to fund new defibrillators across the capital. new data shows that more than 1.2 million people in london have little or no access to equipment which can make the crucial difference between life and death when a person's heart stops beating. it's hoped the london heart starters campaign will improve cardiac arrest rates.london ambulance service would like to invite you to the launch of the 'london heart starters' campaign, which aims to raise money to fund new defibrillators across the capital and improve cardiac arrest survival rates. picadilly line part suspended, minor delays on the metroppolitan line — and the ongoing 0verground closure between hackney downs and chingford. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a pretty cloudy start this morning. we've had some outbreaks of rain overnight. we'll see further outbreaks of rain today but it is feeling quite humid. but the temperatures although not suggesting it's as warm as it has been, it is going to feel rather sticky now. these outbreaks of rain could turn heavy and persistent, especially further south. further north, some breaks potentially in the cloud. later, temperatures 21 celsius. then overnight tonight

we'll see more cloud. further spells of rain, at least for a time. but they will gradually start to clear away as the front clears behind, and it will start to feel a bit fresher. minimum temperature 12 to iii celsius. so a brighter start tomorrow. we will see a bit of cloud building up through the course of the day, but largely dry with some sunshine and temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 23 celsius. now it's going to stay largely fine dry as we head into the weekend as well. outside chance of a shower, but you'll notice by the time we get into next week, we'll see more sunshine and the temperature will start to feel a little warmer. i'll have more news, weather and travel updates for you in half an hour but now it's time to hand you back to naga and charlie hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. today, the government is presenting its gb energy bill in the house of commons. the labour party first announced the plans two years ago

whilst in opposition — but there are still questions about how it will all work. first of all, what is it? gb energy will be a publicly owned energy company, operating and investing in energy projects. it will be able to build things like new wind farms — but also invest in privately—owned renewable schemes. that's what it will do, but what about what it won't do? well, although it's an energy company, the government has been clear that it's not an energy retail company, which means it will not supply power to homes. so, what's happening today? the government has pledged £8.3 billion of public funding for the company. introducing the bill in the house of commons will ensure the company can access these funds. we're joined now by the energy secretary, ed miliband. we have had a go at explaining what gb energu is, so do you want to give

it a go so people understand more. what is it? i thought your explanation was excellent, if i might say so. the whole point is we've been through a terrible cost of living crisis because of the exposure to fossil fuels on the mandate on what the mandate was elected was to make as a clean energy superpower to drive forward investment in renewables, nuclear, clear energy to get off that dependence on fossil fuels. gb energy is one of the most important tools in the box to help us do that, a publicly owned generation company investing in clean power to get us off our dependence on fossil fuels and create good jobs and frankly generate wealth for the country because there is extraordinary paradox that we have public ownership in energy but we fall short of it with denmark, norway sweden, their governments, state run

companies invest in our low carbon power and we don't and that changes today with the publication of this bill. 50 today with the publication of this bill. , r , , ., bill. so when will gb energy start makin: bill. so when will gb energy start making money? _ bill. so when will gb energy start making money? it's— bill. so when will gb energy start making money? it's got - bill. so when will gb energy start making money? it's got to - bill. so when will gb energy start making money? it's got to go - bill. so when will gb energy start - making money? it's got to go through the house of — making money? it's got to go through the house of commons _ making money? it's got to go through the house of commons because - making money? it's got to go through the house of commons because we i making money? it's got to go through i the house of commons because we have to go through a legislative process in the next few months and we set aside £8.3 billion to invest in in wind farms, solar projects and so on as those get built it will start to generate a return so it will take time and it won't happen overnight but we think it's absolutely the right thing to do because all of the evidence from the fast when you think about the danish state—owned company, 30 years ago they began the process of investing in wind power which was seen as a wacky idea and they are generating big returns for they are generating big returns for the taxpayer in denmark and this is

a deliberately long—term policy because we think it's the right thing for the country and reflects the mandate on which were elected. if people see the amount of money you are investing in it, it doesn't seem an unreasonable question to ask of you, when do we see the return and when is it make profit? you say you have seen examples elsewhere in the world. i don't think you've answered that at all. in the world. i don't think you've answered that at all.- answered that at all. in the lifetime of _ answered that at all. in the lifetime of this _ answered that at all. in the lifetime of this parliament| answered that at all. in the l lifetime of this parliament it answered that at all. in the - lifetime of this parliament it will start to generate return. does that mean profit?— start to generate return. does that mean profit? absolutely. in the life of this parliament. _ mean profit? absolutely. in the life of this parliament. so _ mean profit? absolutely. in the life of this parliament. so my _ mean profit? absolutely. in the life of this parliament. so my most --| of this parliament. so my most —— next question is a basic one. the most fundamental people will ask of you, when well the bills come down? we said we will get to clean power by 2030 and that's all of our electricity coming from clean power sources, nuclear renewables by 2030 and over the course of the

parliament, the cheapest way forward for us as a country, we will start to see the effect of that and it takes a couple of years to put up a solar plant or build an onshore wind farm but we have lifted that ban in england that's been in place for nine years and as the projects come online, we will start to see the effect and we are going as fast as we can and this is a government in a hurry on behalf of the british people and we begun the solar revolution and publish plans for gb energy today all designed for the single purpose to make this a clean energy superpower and reduce bills. i'm trying to rebuild it —— between the lines but am i hearing the bills will go up before they go down quite might know. will go up before they go down quite miaht know. ., �* , will go up before they go down quite miaht know. . �*, ., will go up before they go down quite might know— will go up before they go down quite miaht know. . �*, ., ..,, ., might know. that's not the case. not within our plans. _ might know. that's not the case. not within our plans. it's _ might know. that's not the case. not within our plans. it's true _

might know. that's not the case. not within our plans. it's true that - within our plans. it's true that independent forecasts suggest bales may rise in the autumn but that's because we are exposed to gas prices and this is the point of what we are trying to do because unless we get off that dependence on fossil fuels we won't reduce bills. the whole drive of the government is to get onto clean energy and fossil fuels and reduce dependence and exposure. that is the way to give the security to the british people than they deserve. it i to the british people than they deserve. ., ., , deserve. if i have got this right ou are deserve. if i have got this right you are looking _ deserve. if i have got this right you are looking up _ deserve. if i have got this right you are looking up 2030, - deserve. if i have got this right you are looking up 2030, the l deserve. if i have got this right. you are looking up 2030, the time period, and by which point people can expect to see the results of gb energy having an impact on their bills. we are talking a minimum of six years of bills going up before we see the effect of great british energy impacting on peoples bills. i think that's a gloomy prognostication. is it wrong? it is prognostication. is it wrong? it is incorrect. the _

prognostication. is it wrong? it 3 incorrect. the truth is, as we build new renewable power and i've said that solar and onshore wind can, in a couple of years and we will start to see the impact and take the example of a lorry onshore wind, we've had an onshore wind ban in nine years and is the cheapest form of powers we there disposals and we are working with developers to come forward to new projects and build those projects, we will start to see the effect in terms of lower bills and it does take time and it's not a quick fix and people are sick of politicians promising quick fixes that don't materialise and this will take time to turn things around and it will have an effect. you and i are not in charge of what people are sick of. while that's not my perception. sick of. while that's not my perception-— sick of. while that's not my erce tion. �* ., , sick of. while that's not my erce tion. �* . , ., perception. but i imagine they are fairl tired perception. but i imagine they are fairly tired of _ perception. but i imagine they are fairly tired of people _ perception. but i imagine they are fairly tired of people not _ perception. but i imagine they are fairly tired of people not being - fairly tired of people not being clear about what your plans will

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... a partnership between the government and the crown estate to help the uk become energy independent will be announced later today. protests outside a greater manchester police station amid anger over a video showing a policeman kicking a man in the head at the city's airport. i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. president biden explains to the american people why he's decided not to stand for re—election. actor amanda abbington says she and her family received death and rape threats after making allegations against her former strictly come dancing partner, giovanni pernice. adults trying to get an adhd assessment may be waiting up to eight years in some parts of the uk according to a bbc investigation. air passengers are facing continuing delays and cancellations due to last

great british energy. the company won't supply any power to households. instead, the goal is to change the way energy is made and who owns those resources. the government is committed to spending £8.3 billion of public money, investing in wind power on land and at sea. new technologies, like carbon capture, nuclear power and community schemes on a small scale, or for local communities to benefit from big projects near them. they hope that will be matched by £60 billion of private company investment. but there's no guarantee that will happen. so will it work? i think gb energy is fixing a different problem, which is more about who owns the assets rather than whether or not they get built. it's a government priority to say that the gb state owns some of it, which doesn't necessarily fix the issue, which is making it investa ble. it's a bigger issue for hitting our targets. we need to have the certainty

of revenues for investors to say, "yes, i will put my money down." because with a renewable project, most of the capital injection is up front. you need to spend a lot of money at the beginning. today, the crown estate is getting in on the act. it owns vast swathes of coastline and seabed around the uk, and says that partnering with the government will half the time it takes to get offshore wind projects delivering power. so the ball is now rolling on a key election promise. but it's a long term plan, which needs a fair wind from investors. that means customers are unlikely to see any benefit in their bills for a long time yet. colletta, smith, bbc news. —— colletta smith, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. this is a big and important pledge

for the labour party, the new government. what does it mean in practice? it isa it is a really important pledge, it is a way of delivering one of the most eye—catching pledges of labour party made in the general election campaign, the vowed to achieve clean power from campaign, the vowed to achieve clean powerfrom renewables in this country by 2030. lots of people said it was not only ambitious, it was implausible. ed miliband is tasked with delivering it. green energy is a crucial way in which they want to do so. a publicly owned energy company. —— gb energy. a lot of people will want to know when bills will come down. that is when things get more vague. they are expected to come down over the next few years. it takes a couple of years for a

solar plant to come on grint or a wind plant to come on bread. —— on the grid. the labour party is emphasising the gb bit by talking about it as a patriotic endeavour. there is some symbolism to do with this partnership with the crown estate, essentially the monarchy as well. forso estate, essentially the monarchy as well. for so many people, symbolism will only get them so far unless this brings down bills. it is clear this brings down bills. it is clear this government knows that ultimately this will be the test of the policy. ultimately this will be the test of the oli . . .. ultimately this will be the test of the oli . ., ,, i. ultimately this will be the test of the oli . . ~' . a crowd of protesters gathered outside rochdale police station in greater manchester overnight — demonstrating against an incident in which a video after a video emerged showing a police officer kicking a man in the head at manchester airport. our correspondent lauren moss is following the story. what more can you tell us? what do you know? what more can you tell us? what do ou know? , , ., , what more can you tell us? what do ou know? ,,., , , you know? this protest took place after a video _ you know? this protest took place after a video emerged _ you know? this protest took place after a video emerged on - you know? this protest took place after a video emerged on social.

after a video emerged on social media yesterday as to what happened during an arrest at manchester airport. some may find that footage we are about to show you shocking. a male officer is seen holding a taser over a man lying on the floor and then stamping on and kicking his head. it happened following reports of a fight at terminal two at the airport on tuesday evening. when the police went to make an arrest, some officers were attacked and needed hospital treatment. one female officer suffered a broken nose. four men were arrested for assault on emergency workers. greater manchester police has called this video truly shocking and says the use of such force in an arrest is unusual and understands it would cause alarm and has referred itself to the police watchdog. a crowd of people gathered at the protest last night in rochdale. in a statement, greater manchester police says the protest concluded safely without

he painted november's vote as a choice between forwards and back, hope and hate, unity or division. despite republicans calling for him to resign the presidency, mr biden said he had no intention of stepping aside. over the next six months, i will be focused on doing myjob as president. i will continue to lower costs for hard working families. grow our economy, i will keep defending our personal freedoms and our civil rights — from the right to vote to the right to choose. many of those watching one and the last time a us president to theirs. lyndonjohnson may decide to see richard nixon when the presidency. mr biden will hope that history doesn't repeat itself with donald trump.

in north carolina, the candidate turned on the president and his new presumptive rival alike. the tone of the campaign was dropped, —— we have defeated the worst president in the history of our country, crooked joe biden. he quit because he was losing so badly in the polls when he was down in every single pole and down by a lot, so he quit. cheering. politics is all mr biden has ever known. a career that has spanned five decades from, as he put it, a kid with a stutter to the white house. this decision will define his legacy. november's vote will define whether that gamble has worked. will grant, bbc news, washington. meanwhile, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu will hold talks with president biden at the white house this afternoon, at a time of strained relations between the two leaders. yesterday, mr netanyahu gave an address to the us congress, which was praised by republicans, boycotted by democrats and sparked pro—palestinian demonstrations outside.

a man has been charged with attempted murder after an army officer was stabbed outside a barracks in gillingham. the victim, who is in his forties remains in a serious condition in hospital. the actor, amanda abbington, said she has been under pressure from "brutal, relentless and unforgiving" threats from fans of strictly come dancing. the actor has previously made accusations about the teaching methods of her strictly partner, giovanni pernice, who has denied her claims and since left the show. our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, reports. amanda abbington says she went on to strictly, thinking it would be hard work but fun. speaking on camera for the first time about her experiences with her professional dance partner giovanni pernice, she told channel 4 news that what happened in the rehearsal room left her with ptsd.

it still has a lasting effect on me, like i still can't talk about certain things that happened in that room because of... because it immediately triggers a feeling of anxiety. and that's not right. this is a bbc show on a saturday night. this response shouldn't happen from a bbc show. that's crazy. giovanni pernice has refuted her allegations and denied any accusations of abusive or threatening behaviour. he says he has provided substantive evidence to the bbc investigation and remains confident of clearing his name. in the time since amanda abbington has voiced her unhappiness, she says she's been shocked by the brutal reaction from some individuals on social media. the aftermath has been something that i wasn't expecting. um, you know, the death threats

and the rape threats towards not only myself but my daughter. and the threats of death to my son. by what — by strictly fans, or...? and giovanni fans and, um... yeah, it'sjust been, you know, when you get, like, one or two of those, you can kind of go, "oh, god", you know, but i was getting, like, dozens a day. giovanni pernice has never condoned such comments or threats. the bbc has said it takes complaints like amanda abbington's extremely seriously, and has put in place additional safeguarding measures for the next series of strictly later this year. lizo mzimba, bbc news. more than 10,000 international athletes have descended on the french capital ahead of the launch of the olympic games tomorrow. team gb are hoping to capitalise on the 64 medals brought home from tokyo four years ago.

our sport correspondent natalie pirks reports from paris. even when you've been there, done it and got the t—shirt, every day is a school day. oh wait, that's the video! for tom daley and helen glover, at their fifth and fourth olympics, carrying the flag for team gb on friday will be a whole new experience, but this time, with their children watching, paris will be a family affair. it's a dream come true. ever since i first walked out into an olympic opening ceremony in 2008, walking behind mark foster with the british flag, i just thought one day, how cool would that be if i ever got the opportunity to do that? and yeah, it's very special and i know that it was something that my dad really, really, really... well, you know. i don't... ifi... if he was around right now, i don't think he would actually believe that this was happening. british athletes will want for nothing in paris. yeah, i could definitely have a nap in here. soundproof sleep pods, bespoke menus and family areas at team gb�*s performance lodge could help provide the edge

in the quest for medals. team gb is bringing 327 athletes to paris — its smallest team since beijing. but they're hoping to win medals across a wider range of sports than ever before. for the second successive olympics, there are more female athletes than men, but they're chasing a medal haul of between 50 and 70 medals. a minimum is hoped for of 60, which they've achieved at the last three olympics. i do think it's a very, very talented team that we've brought here. i do think it is stacked with medal potential, and it's really whether we can support athletes to convert that medal potential into podium places. over the next fortnight, we'll see a mix of familiar faces and new names, like the most successful gymnast in british history, max whitlock, returning for his fourth and final olympics before retirement, and 17—year—old phoebe gill, who will become the youngest british track athlete at a games for more than four decades in the women's 800m.

i9—year—old commonwealth champion diver andrea spendolini—sirieix is back in france, home of her famous father, fred, but she's not allowing herself to dream just yet. what i've learned is pressure really kills joy. a medal and a performance doesn't determine and doesn't make me who i am. i want to enjoy it and i want to take it all in. team gb finished fourth at the tokyo games with an impressive 64 medals, 22 of which were gold. not long now to see if records can be broken in the city of love. natalie pirks, bbc news, paris. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. where are you frolicking this time? you are in a field last time. we are frolickin: you are in a field last time. we are frolicking in — you are in a field last time. we are frolicking in devon _ you are in a field last time. we are frolicking in devon this _ you are in a field last time. we are frolicking in devon this morning. i

should have been memorable for all the right reasons. for anna, it didn't turn out that way. last friday, i was set to get granted the freedom of the city of london, which i was really, really excited about, and then there was no ramp for me to get it on the 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 strikes me that if i don't address it, it's going to keep happening to the next person. and i don't want that to happen. anna says it's a symptom of what's known as the implementation gap. it's just illustrative of a pattern that we see again and again, where access is not prioritised, where the law is not made real, and where then we disabled people have to do the work of making our rights real. the city of london corporation said it would like to offer its sincerest apologies to anna landre for an inaccessible stage during her freedom award ceremony. it added that it's committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and is undertaking an urgent review to make accessible its buildings, events and facilities. what do you make of that?

well, it's nice to have an apology that is better than what a lot of disabled people get when we encounter situations like this. um, i think experience shows i'd be silly to just trust them that they're going to fix their mistakes. so i will be following up, because giving us awards while not allowing us access to the stage to dignity is really wrong, especially in the year 202a. harry lowe, bbc news, london. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. the expansion of the ultra low emission zone has improved the capital's air quality, according to a new city hall report. the expansion of the ultra low emission zone has

improved the capital's air quality, according to a new city hall report. the study found that roadside pollution in outer london was down three and a half percent on average, compared to what it would've been without ulez. and nitrogen oxide emissions from cars were cut by thirteen percent. but city hall conservatives said millions had been spent on a "minimal reduction" in pollution. a bbc investigation has found that a suspect in the murder of stephen lawrence told police he had a "girlfriend" who was a child, but no action was taken against him. stephen lawrence was killed in a racist attack in 1993. when interviewed as a murder suspect, matthew white — now deceased — admitted to having a girlfriend whom police knew was a child. the met hasn't commented specifically on these new findings a woman from south—east london says she and her three children haven't had a steady supply of water in their flat for almost three months. charlene said access to water in her home in crystal palace was sporadic and she sometimes had no supply

for up to seven hours. she said although the housing association hyde group had sent a plumber it had not been resolved, and four of the six flats in her building remained affected. whether it be washing your hands, flushing the toilet, it literally impacts every aspect of our lives, whether it be like cooking something where i need waterfor, drinking water as it's got hotter, running the children's baths, if they eat in the evening, washing their hair. i mean, you could be halfway through showering your child and then the water switches off. hyde group have apologised and said they'll be supplying bottled water to the building while they're investigating. the london ambulance service is looking to raise money to fund new defibrillators across the capital. new data shows that more than 1.2m people in london have little or no access to equipment which can make the difference between life and death when a person's heart stops beating. minor delays on picadilly line and the metroppolitan line — and the ongoing 0verground closure between hackney downs and chingford. good morning. it's a pretty cloudy start this morning.

we've had some outbreaks of rain overnight. we'll see further outbreaks of rain today but it is feeling quite humid. but the temperatures although not suggesting it's as warm as it has been, it is going to feel rather sticky now. these outbreaks of rain could turn heavy and persistent, especially further south. further north, some breaks potentially in the cloud. later, temperatures 21 celsius. then overnight tonight we'll see more cloud. further spells of rain, at least for a time. but they will gradually start to clear away as the front clears behind, and it will start to feel a bit fresher. minimum temperature 12 to 1a celsius. so a brighter start tomorrow. we will see a bit of cloud building up through the course of the day, but largely dry with some sunshine and temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 23 celsius. now it's going to stay largely fine dry as we head into the weekend as well. outside chance of a shower, but you'll notice by the time we get into next week, we'll see more sunshine and the temperature will start to feel a little warmer. i'll have more news, weather and travel updates for you in half an hour, but now it's time to hand you back to naga and charlie

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. an investigation by bbc news has found it would take the nhs eight years to see all adult patients currently waiting for an adhd assessment across the uk. it comes as figures suggest nearly 200,000 individuals are awaiting a diagnosis for the condition, as our health correspondent catherine burns reports. you might think adhd is just when you struggle to concentrate. these people would disagree. it feels like adhd is being bad at all the things that people find simple. undiagnosed, you walk around with a lot of shame. self—medicating with drink and drugs |was how i was managing it, and i... | really, i can't function. i don't like people calling adhd a superpower, it's certainly not a superpower for me. people with adhd can struggle with focus, hyperactivity and impulse control.

so do you also have i constant multiple...? as society and social media has become more open about adhd. more people are asking to be assessed to see if they have it, but no—one knows how many. there's no official data. so we asked trusts and health boards across the uk about their adult adhd services, and can now reveal the pressure they're under. so here's what we know. there are at least195,000 adults waiting for nhs adhd assessments. demand has quadrupled overfive years, and now the national backlog for those assessments is more than eight years. here's a city that is struggling. sheffield health and social care nhs foundation trust told us it has 6,737 people on its waiting list. so we got together a group, who all asked for help here.

last year, they did three assessments. no. makes me sad that there's that many people, evenjust in sheffield, just struggling without a diagnosis. if they continued working at this pace, it would take more than 2,000 years to see everyone who's already waiting. speechless. devastating. that's shocking. shocking. of course, no—one is going to wait 2,000 years, but it shows the service here just isn't working. at no point would we have 6,700 people with untreated broken legs sitting at home, not being able to go to work and going, "oh, that's fine". the nhs has only got a limited pot of money. there's cancer, there's emergency care, there's life or death situations. what would you say to that? this is a life or death situation. i personally tried to take my own life twice before i got my diagnosis, because of the stress and trauma of having to navigate a world that i didn't understand.

sheffield health and social care declined to give us an interview but told us it has focussed on treating people who've already been diagnosed instead of doing new assessments. it gave us this statement... "we are sorry that we've not been providing a good enough service to people seeking help for adhd." and continued... "we are working closely with our integrated care board to ensure that the services we provide are able to meet the required need and demand." sheffield is an extreme example, but across the uk our data shows a clear picture. a system that is no longer fit—for—purpose. northern ireland doesn't officially commission any adult adhd services, but belfast health and social care trust does assessments anyway. and we know that at least four trusts in england have closed or partly closed their waiting lists.

i have never seen anything like the demand that i've seen for adhd services. it's the speed of the growth and the size of the growth. health authorities across the uk say they're trying to improve the service. we've seen a huge upswing in people seeking help with... nhs england told us patients are waiting too long for an adhd diagnosis and so it's launched a taskforce to help manage the rising number of referrals. back in sheffield, louise is still on a waiting list. katie paid for a private diagnosis. nelly and rob found another option — right to choose. it's a legal right in england, which lets you get a private diagnosis paid for by the nhs. what difference has being assessed made to you? it has just validated my whole entire life and existence on this planet. i'm kinder to myself now. i'm not beating myself up going, "why am i doing this?"

i can say, "well, this isjust who i am". the person that i am post diagnosis is unrecognisable from the person that i was before. it's rounded out who i am as a person. catherine burns, bbc news. we're joined now by matthew menzies who has been diagnosed with adhd, rachel fanner who is waiting for a diagnosis and thea stein from nuffield trust. because people are interested in adhd and how it affects you, i was seeing curious about you are in the environment of a tv studio, so how is it for you? it’s environment of a tv studio, so how is it for you?— is it for you? it's overwhelming because one — is it for you? it's overwhelming because one of _ is it for you? it's overwhelming because one of my _ is it for you? it's overwhelming because one of my therapist i is it for you? it's overwhelming i because one of my therapist said neuro diverging people taking fibres times as much information so while somebody hear what you are saying but i can hear the hub up between

house, having lots of addresses, the nhs cannot keep up with where you are in every single time there is a wait for them to update their systems but when i moved to oxfordshire from hampshire i'd been in the waiting list for a year and i moved to oxfordshire and i said what happened with my referrals and we said we are not sure because there isn't a waiting list here so can you stay on the one in hampshire? i contacted my previous gp and they said we don't know what the processes for doing this. so you are caught between our rock and a hard place and do not know where to go and you don't have a diagnosis. i don't have a diagnosis but i do have a diagnosis of autism and the complicating factor that lots of people are officially recognised to have both eventually but initially told you've already got adhd, and you got autism so you can't have both, when there is a massive overlap in the venn diagram of the
