6:01 am
key details about the risk posed by valdo calocane were minimised or omitted by nottinghamshire health care nhs foundation trust. the health secretary, wes streeting, says he expects services across england to learn from the review. our social affairs editor alison holt has this report. injune last year, valdo calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, went on a rampage through the streets of nottingham. it led to the fatal stabbings of 19—year—old students grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber and 65—year—old caretaker ian coates. three others were also seriously injured. cctv picked up calocane walking for hours before the attacks. today's report describes him as having been acutely unwell for the previous few years, but says mental health assessments missed key details and minimise the risks he posed to himself and others. the care quality commission says that over the two years
6:02 am
calocane was in the care of nottinghamshire mental health services, there were difficulties getting him to take his medication. his aggression was increasing when he was unwell. in the community, he missed appointments, and when he was discharged back to his gp in september 2022, the risks weren't considered properly. while it is not possible to say that the devastating events of last year would not have taken place had valdo calocane received that support, what is clear is that the risk he presented to the public was not managed well and that opportunities to mitigate that risk were missed by the team. the report also says more should have been done to include valdo calocane's mother and brother in his care. they told bbc panorama they tried to raise concerns with mental health teams. later, calocane said he didn't want information shared with them. we're his family. we're trying to help as best we can,
6:03 am
but we're sort of like cut off after a point, and we're not told pretty much anything. nottinghamshire health care foundation trust says it accepts the report and that it's doing everything in its power to understand and learn from the missed opportunities. the families of barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates say they want to see more accountability at the senior levels of organisations, as well as changes to systems and laws to try to prevent future tragedies. alison holt, bbc news. well, the families of calocane's victims are saying a public inquiry will now take place. we're joined now by our political correspondent hannah miller. what more can you tell us? before he was prime minister, keir starmer said victims' family calls for thejudge led inquiry starmer said victims' family calls for the judge led inquiry with the right way forward to look at what
6:04 am
happened and what interventions there could have been, why those did not happen. he said that was the least the families are owed. it also could look at issues of communication, what the families of the victims were told. and were not told, because that is an issue where the prime minister has expressed previously he thinks there may be issues wider within the system that might need to be addressed. we have been told by people in government that commitment to a public inquiry is very much still existing. we currently do not expect to hear anything about it from the prime minister today. the health secretary has said he expects the findings and recommendations in this report to be put into place all across the country and applied to there. we understand the work to do that has
6:05 am
begun and the conversations around that had begun to some extent although of course improving mental health services, and the big question is this case has thrown up, will be a challenge for many public sector services. and now more of the news including updates on international stories. ukraine's president zelensky says any attack is justified to force russia to consider peace. officials say kyiv�*s forces — shown here in yellow — now control almost 400 square miles of russian territory following a surprise offensive last week. president putin has vowed to kick the enemy out. our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. a music video from the russian military allegedly showing it targeting ukrainian troops who had crossed the border. it's presented like a blockbuster.
6:06 am
in reality, this is a huge problem for russia. the governor of russia's kursk region put it in figures. he told vladimir putin that ukrainian soldiers had seized 28 settlements in his region. the kremlin leader cut him off. "leave the numbers to the military," he said. translation: the main task| is with our ministry of defence and that is to force the enemy from our territory. our adversary will, of course, receive a fitting response and, without doubt, all our objectives will be met. as ukrainian troops have moved in, residents have moved out. officials say that more than 120,000 people have been evacuated in kursk region, and thousands more in the neighbouring region of belgorod.
6:07 am
there are fears of a ukrainian incursion there, too. what is happening is huge. for the first time in more than 80 years, foreign troops are fighting on russian soil. and yet, the country's leadership describes this as a provocation, a terrorist attack. the kremlin still avoids using the word "war" as if to tell the people there's no need to panic. 0n the streets of moscow, no shock, just resignation about ukraine's offensive. "i'm not surprised," 0lga says. "it's a border area and this war has been going on for some time." what we all want is peace and, like, the quickest resolution of this conflict. in the meantime, these volunteers are trying to do something. in moscow, they've organised a collection of food and clothes for the evacuees.
6:08 am
there are people who lost their homes there. they need shelter. they need food, they need supplies. it was their country that invaded ukraine. russians are now having to deal with unforeseen consequences. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. the israeli military says it's at peak alert for a potential attack from iran which washington has said could be this week. the prime minister has made a rare call urging iran not to attack israel as part of international efforts to de—escalate tensions in the middle east. iran has vowed retaliation for the assassination of the hamas leader, but sir keir stamer warned that any action in response risked pushing the region closer to all out war. firefighters and soldiers in greece
6:09 am
are continuing to tackle more , nearly 30 kilometres of wildfires which are edging nearer to the centre of athens. thousands of people living near the capital have fled their homes, and officials say countries including france and italy are sending reinforcements. 0ur reporterjoe inwood has this report. sometimes, faced with flames reaching up to 25m high, all you can do is stand and watch. but thousands have fled the wildfires that have now reached the outskirts of athens. others, like 64—year—old anna, have decided to try and stay and protect their properties. translatioin: early in the morning, we were constantly receiving - messages telling us to evacuate. we were terrified. we thought the fire would go elsewhere, but suddenly it came to our homes. we panicked and evacuated then, but now we've returned to save whatever we can. greece has just experienced its hottestjune and july on record, with strong winds helping
6:10 am
the flames spread. the authorities have been trying to beat them back, with around 700 firefighters, 120 vehicles and large numbers of soldiers all involved, aided by local people doing what they can to protect their homes. 30 different communities have been messaged by the authorities telling them to leave, even though help is even though help is said to be on its way. translation: in response to our country's request for assistance, l france has sent a helicopter. italy is sending two aircraft, and the czech republic is sending 75 firefighters and 25 vehicles, including nine water tankers. and while it is greece currently suffering, extreme temperatures are an increasing problem for all of europe. a study published in nature medicine found the continent suffered 50,000 excess deaths last year linked
6:11 am
to heat waves caused by man—made climate change, with at least one person already killed by these fires and reports of others being taken to hospital with breathing problems, the price being paid could get higher still. our correspondentjessica parker is outside athens. we can see the wreckage around you. is there any improvement this morning? is there any improvement this mornin: ? , ., ., is there any improvement this morninu? , ., morning? yes, good morning, as you sa we are morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in — morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in an _ morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in an area _ morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in an area in _ morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in an area in a _ morning? yes, good morning, as you say we are in an area in a northern i say we are in an area in a northern suburb of athens where the fire hit over the past 48 hours. look at that, the remains of properties. this is a common sight in the area. you can see residents surveying damage. maybe they had to flee yesterday and have come back to look at what remains of their properties.
6:12 am
it is lots of pockets you see. that is what the fire service have said. they say they are no longer fighting one main long front of the blaze, but rather lots of hot spots they are having to monitor around this area of northern athens and north—east out of athens, where the blaze began on sunday. we have the sad news overnight as we heard in a report that the remains of a person believed to be a woman was found in the northern part of athens in a shop. this marks the first fatality we know of of the wildfires. this area, greece, they often see wildfires. they have seen very sadly fatal incidents before but they said that was the first fatality we know of in this incident. what the fire service say is overall the situation appears to have improved but they
6:13 am
say conditions remain dangerous over the coming days. say conditions remain dangerous over the coming deve— the coming days. thank you. stay safe. the inquest into the death of former england and surrey cricketer graham thorpe will be opened today. considered one of the best players of his generation, thorpe died last week at the age of 55. his family say he took his own life having suffered from depression and anxiety for years. they are keen lessons are learned and want to be open about his experience. as a man who paints on walls without permission, he probably can't complain, but banksy�*s most recent creation has been damaged. this is how his eighth artwork in as many days was supposed to look. it shows a rhino appearing to get up close and personal with a nissan micra in southeast london.
6:14 am
butjust a few hours after it was confirmed as a genuine banksy, this happened. look, look, look. why did you do that? a man in a balaclava came along and tagged it, there is a debate about whether it was a genuine vandal or prearranged. that might have been banksy under the mask? you never know. we are talking about it now. which means it got more publicity. eight so far in as many days. maybe another today. so far in as many days. maybe anothertoday. like so far in as many days. maybe another today. like an advent calendar. it was hot yesterday. carol can tell us what the weather will be like.
6:15 am

6:16 am
norfolk and suffolk. fresher in the north and west. 22 in cardiff. through the evening and overnight, rain continues southwards and eastwards, weakening all the time. clear skies follow. some showers in the north—west. here the wind will ease. temperatures tonight ranging from eight in the north, 16—17 in parts of southern england and south wales. we start tomorrow with a weak weather front fizzling. maybe the odd shower in this cloud. dry weather following with the odd shower possible in parts of scotland and northern ireland. these are the temperatures. 15 in the north, 24 in the south. and then we have heavier rain which some might be pleased about on thursday.— about on thursday. especially the carden. about on thursday. especially the garden- thank— about on thursday. especially the

6:25 am
editor rebecca morelle has been given extremely rare access to see them. relics from the most famous maritime disaster in history. from parts of the ship to passengers belongings, to passengers' belongings, everything here is a reminder of a tragedy at sea more than 100 years ago. i can't reveal the location of where i am. all i can say is that this warehouse is somewhere in atlanta, because what's inside here is incredibly precious. thousands of items recovered from the titanic, and every single one of them tells a story. this is a really beautiful little fashionable bag. and it belonged to marian meanwell. she was a 63—year—old milliner, which means she did all the little detail work on hats and dresses. she was travelling to the us to be with her daughter, who was recently widowed. inside it was a medical card. all third—class passengers had to show they weren't bringing disease into the us. but it also reveals a twist of fate.
6:26 am
what's really interesting is that we can see she was originally supposed to sail on the majestic. she actually got re—routed onto titanic. so unlucky. this is a letter, actually, a reference from a former landlord, and it says, "this is to certify that we have always found miss meanwell to be a good tenant. prompt with payment. and it's signed by wheeler & sons, landlord. i mean, it's amazing this has survived. but there's a photograph. we have very few photographs that survived. but this little picture we think is of her mother, but is just a little bit of an image of a woman left. so, unfortunately, ms meanwell did not make it. she was one of the people who perished. being able to tell her story and have these objects is really important because, otherwise, you know, 1500 names. she's just another name on the list. the titanic sank in 1912 and lies
6:27 am
at the bottom of the atlantic. all of the items were recovered from a debris field that surrounds the wreck, where the contents of the ship spilled out as it split apart. so this champagne bottle — we have several others as well — survived on the floor of the ocean for decades and actually still had its contents inside of it. there's a lot of bottles on the ocean floor and a lot of, like, stock pots and kitchen pots, because titanic actually broke up around one of the kitchens. so itjust kind of littered this debris all over the ocean floor. so the first—class passengers, i mean, it was pretty glamorous, wasn't it? yeah, titanic was supposed to be the most luxurious liner. so having champagne, having a gym, having all these amenities and all these great things for the passengers would have been really important to them. some artefacts collected from the sea floor also come from those who survived. there was a perfume salesman on board and he actually had over 90 of these little perfume vials. and so you can actually
6:28 am
still smell them. that's really — that's mad. after more than 100 years and all that time at the bottom of the ocean, you can still smell the perfume. yeah, and they're still so potent. they belonged to adolf saalfeld, one of 700 people who were rescued from the ship. he was travelling second class. amazingly, he survived. he went on to live in england after the sinking. he had passed by the time we found this, but it's my understanding that he did live with a bit of guilt — survivor's guilt. titanic was on her maiden voyage, travelling from southampton to the us, when she hit an iceberg. the ship, made from thousands of thick steel plates, was thought to be unsinkable. these are rivets. they held each of the layers of the hull, overlapping together to form the exterior structure. so there were over three million of these on the ship. there was a theory that they were using substandard materials. so maybe the rivets weren't made
6:29 am
of the best material, for example? yeah, there were high concentrates of slack in these, which is like a glass—like material that makes them maybe a little bit more brittle in the cold. but if one of the rivet heads popped off easier, then it could have allowed the seam to open up — where the iceberg hit — easier and made it bigger than it otherwise would have been. some items also show how life on board differed for the social classes. from a sturdy and simple third—class cup to delicate and detailed china for first class. china for first class. the items retrieved are put on display in exhibitions around the world. rms titanic inc have the only salvage rights to the ship. what do they say to those who think the wreck�*s a grave site that should be left alone? titanic is something that we want to respect and we want to make sure that we're preserving the memory. because not everyone can go down to titanic, not everyone can go to the ship, and we want to be able to bring that to the public. the company's latest expedition has identified more objects they'd like to bring back. who knows what they'll find
6:30 am
and the details each item may tell. rebecca morelle, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. extraordinary. access, to be able to see all of that. and photographs survived. the idea that every item is a story. the rivets. incredible. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a 32—year—old man remains in police custody after being arrested in connection with a double stabbing in leicester square yesterday. an 11—year—old girl and a 34—year—old woman were targeted in attack. their injuries are not believed to be non life—threatening. their injuries are not believed to be life—threatening. the met said it does not believe the victims knew their attacker. a mother and daughter,

6:41 am
manchester city splash the cash, now they're the ones receving it, in the biggest deal of the summer so far. a staggering £81 million is what atletico madrid will pay city forjulian alvarez. he won six major trophies with city, and with that money in the bank, i'm sure football fans will be speculating who might come in to replace him. meanwhile brentford have signed liverpool winger fabio carvalho for £27.5 million. he's signed for five years, with an option for one more. the england captain leah williamson says it's vital young girls have plenty of pitches to play football on, and that they're in a safe space. the premier league and the government's football foundation is providing grants for improved facilties for women and girls. williamson was speaking at the opening of a new pitch that's been named after her, in her home town of newton pagnell in buckinghamshire. this initiative, and the priority access and the pitch, and you know,
6:42 am
like, making sure the girls have a space and it kicked off before they even begin, i think that's really important. they are going to come and watch at the emirates and they're going to sit in a sold—out crowd and i can almost bet on the fact that they are going to come back and they're going to want to play and they have to have somewhere to play. so the interest is there, the girls are there, theyjust need to have a place to do it in a safe space at that. so i'm very happy that there's one here. the first trans athlete to compete at the paralympic games has been selected to represent italy in paris at the end of this month. 50—year—old valentina petrillo transitioned in 2019 and is competing in the women's 200 metres and 400 metres, for athletes with visual impairments. currently, there is no unified position in sport towards transgender inclusion, as the international paralympic committee allows individual sports' governing bodies to set their own policies. our sports correspondent laura scott spoke to andrew parsons, president of the ipc.
6:43 am
the sport movement in general, so the ipc, the ioc, the international federation, are getting guided by science. we need them to look for a different future. so i am comfortable for the moment because it's respecting the rules i have for the moment, and the rules are there and they need to respect them. i do think that for the future, we need to really focus on that because it's the reality of the world, they deserve an answer which cannot be, this week you can compete, maybe in the future you cannot compete. so we need to come up with a better solid answer for that population. the women's tour de france got under way yesterday with the winner living up to her surname. dutch rider charlotta kool taking the opening stage outsprinting her rivals to cross the line first having raced from rotterdam to the hague. the second stage takes the riders back to rotterdam so there will be plenty of home support for kool on day two.
6:44 am
an impressive start for her. back to you. returning to our main story. the health regulator has found there were a series of errors, omissions and misjudgements in the mental health care of a man who went on to to kill three people in nottingham. valdo calocane fatally stabbed ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar lastjune. a report released today by the care quality commission says immediate action is needed to ensure patients get the right care and has set out recommendations for the nhs trust in nottinghamshire. treatment plans for those with schizophernia must be reviewed regularly to make sure they're in line with national guidelines. the trust should ensure clinical supervision when deciding whether to detain someone under the mental health act. it says the trust should make sure staff are aware of the importance of involving patients' families and carers in all aspects
6:45 am
of their treatment. and the coc says services must have a robust discharge policy that considers a patient�*s circumstances and whether discharging them is appropriate. the health secretary, wes streeting, says he expects services across england to learn from the review, so that "other families do not experience the unimaginable pain that barnaby, grace and ian's family are living with". we can now speak to marjorie wallace who's the founder and chief executive of the mental health charity sane. good morning to you, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. this is such a distressing case, obviously, it goes without saying. and an incredibly difficult time for the families of the victims. but just looking at the details of what we have seen so far, how unusual is
6:46 am
the situation, how unusual is the language that we are hearing in this report, those words that we have heard there, there appear to have been a series of errors, omissions and misjudgments, that's fairly damning, isn't it?— and misjudgments, that's fairly damning, isn't it? absolutely, it's one of the — damning, isn't it? absolutely, it's one of the most _ damning, isn't it? absolutely, it's one of the most damning - damning, isn't it? absolutely, it's one of the most damning reports| damning, isn't it? absolutely, it's i one of the most damning reports that i have read and i have been going to inquiries and reports for over 30 years. but sadly, although this is a very terrible, terrible, horrific headline case, sadly the same kinds of things are happening all the time, not always leading to headline tragedies. and you could pick out one or two of the things. the problem is, we have no where for people to go. one of the fundamental reasons is that we have actually halved the number of adult psychiatric beds since 2000. we only have 18,000 left in the country. so when a person does pose a risk, the
6:47 am
tendency is to say that they are not sufficient risk, therefore they can go back and live in the community. now what worries us and concerns as in this case is that it seems to be that it was his right, valdo calocane's right, to refuse taking anti—psychotic medication which could have kept the voices in his head at bay, which might have not got him to the state of deterioration, and his right to choose to engage with services. that seems extraordinary that the very person who is most deserved the person who is most deserved the person who is most deserved the person who chooses not to engaged rather than the service looking of them. there are several things that could have be avoided so he disengaged with services and disappeared into the community. partly the idea that we have is that
6:48 am
everybody, however ill or disturbed they might be, can be treated in the community, even though we know that the community services are absolutely threadbare. so the community services are absolutely threadbare. so we 'ust ran absolutely threadbare. so we 'ust through. fl absolutely threadbare. so we 'ust ran through, marjorie, i absolutely threadbare. so we 'ust ran through, marjorie, some i absolutely threadbare. so we just ran through, marjorie, some of i absolutely threadbare. so we just i ran through, marjorie, some of the recommendations from the report today. from what you are saying, on their own, they are not enough. absolutely not. we have got... this report exposes that the psychiatric services, other only in crisis, but a breakdown. —— they are not only in crisis but in breakdown. part of thatis crisis but in breakdown. part of that is that they do not have enough staff, they cannot retain staff, there are not enough consult a psychiatrist, community nurses, counsellors, they do not have the infrastructure and the staff. in this case it's almost unbelievable.
6:49 am
he was sectioned under the mental health act four times a goes on collect —— committing acts of violence and then is still not sufficient risk to require inpatient treatment. a caller calling us recently said it is so difficult to access care and help. she said, i would have had to have actually taken my own life or maybe been a risk to others until they took me seriously enough that i would qualify for the very high threshold to have inpatient care. otherwise people are just turned back on a regular prayer, and they have to fend for themselves. they might get visits —— on a wing and a prayer, they might get visits from community teams but they are so overstretched they cannot spend time with the person. and then the person is not followed up as in valdo calocane's
6:50 am
case. can i make the point that we feel, it's not about resources, its listing to the families. when they —— listening to the families. when they contact and they have concerns about deteriorating health. we did our own research and we analysed over 100 on—site cases and in the inquiry report it was identified that one of the triggers, the cases that one of the triggers, the cases that needed to the charity, it was 52%, said there was a failure to listen to the families. and it's still not managed to put down their concerns or communicate their concerns or communicate their concerns into the care teams. so that leads to a failure of risk assessment, 75% of the cases we had it was a failure of risk assessment. people were assessed as low risk. because they can say they are not
6:51 am
hearing voices because i don't want to engage. if they are not listened to, it's not a huge revelation. there are so many intersection with interesting questions. thank you so much forjoining us, good to talk to you. here's carol with a look at the weather. good morning. for most of us, it is a mild started to the day but it is not everywhere,. it will cool down through the week, we will not have the dizzy heights of 34.8 as we saw yesterday in cambridge, rain at times yesterday but equally some sunshine. today we have a clutch of fronts out towards the west. they are bringing in cloud and rain, you can seea are bringing in cloud and rain, you can see a ridge of high pressure coming in behind. we are starting
6:52 am
off with dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, that will be hazy at times, and towards the west we have cloud and rain. that is sweeping east through the day followed by sunshine and showers. unseasonably windy in the north—west, gales in the outer hebrides and the isle of skye. temperatures today at 16 to 20 in western areas. as you push further east, 26 to 28, possibly 30 in norfolk. this evening and overnight, the band of cloud and rain pushes east and south, clearer skies behind, the wind will ease, murky around the hills and coasts. temperature wise, between eight and a milder 16, still quite uncomfortable for sleeping in in the far south—east. we start with cloud, spot of rain coming out of this. move away from that through much of
6:53 am
scotland and northern ireland, the rest of england and wales, and we are looking at a brighter day. through the day the wind will pick up through the day the wind will pick up once again as towards the west. the cloud will thicken, and we will see some rain coming our way. temperatures tomorrow, 15 in the north to 23 or 24 in the south. the rain we saw coming in the later part of wednesday will sweep southwards during thursday, and some of it will be quite heavy. the weather here in the studio is currently really rather nice! look at that! we _ currently really rather nice! look at that! we need _ currently really rather nice! look at that! we need our _ currently really rather nice! errra; at that! we need our hankies knotted on our heads. do you have a favourite holiday destination? many of us will return year after year but how about doing it every summer for 57 years? we are not far off! that's the reality for a couple
6:54 am
from preston, who've been visiting bude in cornwall since 1967 and have no plans to stop. our reporter andrea ormsby has been to meet them. i'll get the chairs out. back in bude. oh, it took a bit of pulling today. colin and doreen hunt, from preston in lancashire, have had a year or two to perfect their summer holiday routine here. and another. and another one. deckchairs out, beach hut closed. all right, there we are. time to relax. oht — oh, that's better. that's better. look at that surf. these two former teachers are real characters. she's 88 and he's 87. he will be 88 in four weeks. i'm a toy boy for three months of the year. so where did the whole bude thing begin? we first came in 1967 and our son was 11 months old.
6:55 am
in fact, he learned to walk here. and our daughter was almost three. and we've been coming every year since. nothing has stopped us, even during covid. we came down every year during then. bude is where they learnt to surf. it was all on the old wooden belly boards then. we didn't call it surfing, not like they do now, have to stand up. and it's where they started walking the south west coast path in sections, finishing the whole thing in 2000. so has there ever been a time they were tempted to bin bude? no! no. no, no. no. we always had at least a week in bude wherever else we went. we have walked all over the world, but there's nowhere more beautiful than the south west coast path. we've never been to a better place for a family holiday. there's so much to do, notjust the sea. we've been to very pretty, picturesque villages. but bude, i think, has everything.
6:56 am
it's got the scenery, it's got the sea, and it's got a lot of other activities. i think it's fair to say they quite like the place. i mean, there's so many happy memories connected with bude and especially being with the family, because i think we have a close family, you know, and it's lovely being down with the children and then with the grandchildren, and we're so pleased that the grandchildren enjoy it as much as we did. it'sjust beautiful. we look forward to it every year. we shall be coming as long as we can make it. oh that's nice. if they get to 60 summer holidays here, they say they'll have a big party. but with these two, i think we should start planning now for the 70th celebrations. andrea ormsby, bbc news. colin and doreen, fantastic! why would ou colin and doreen, fantastic! why would you go _ colin and doreen, fantastic! twig would you go anywhere else. colin and doreen, fantastic! why would you go anywhere else. if l colin and doreen, fantastic! why i would you go anywhere else. if you are watching _ would you go anywhere else. if you are watching this _ would you go anywhere else. if you are watching this morning, - would you go anywhere else. if you are watching this morning, in i would you go anywhere else. if you are watching this morning, in butte, thank you for that.
6:57 am
and we'd love to hear about your favourite holiday destinations, tell us about somewhere you keep going back to and why it's so special, or do you think you can beat doreen and colin's 57 years? there something nice about going back to somewhere familiar, you don't need to think about it. taste don't need to think about it. we would love _ don't need to think about it. we would love the photos and don't forget the name and the place, may be and then unknown photo! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london i'm tolu adeoye. a 32—year—old man remains in police custody after being arrested in connection with a double stabbing in leicester square. an 11—year—old girl and a 34—year—old woman were targeted in attack yesterday — their injuries are not believed to be non life—threatening. the met said it does not believe the victims knew their attacker. a mother and daughter who have mobility issues, say they were made to feel a burden by heathrow airport and british airways staff because of their disabilities.
6:58 am
jo and amy pohl said they were made to feel undignified at every stage from airport security until boarding the plane at terminal five. ba and heathrow airport have apologised and say they are investigating what went wrong. my mum just started crying. like, it was like one thing after another that day. and wejust, wejust... i felt like my dog would get better treatment at that airport than i did. baby beavers have been born in london for the first time in over 400 years at a site in greenford. beaver were introduced at the site in october with the aim of reducing flooding. experts say it shows they are happy in their new habitat and can thrive in cities. it's a real thrill to look at the camera footage and just suddenly see this tiny, miniature beaver. very, very cute. playing with mum. on the 30th ofjune was when we first spotted it. we have kept it a little bit quiet to allow them to settle in and make
6:59 am

7:01 am
the families of the victims of valdo calocane accuse the mental health trust responsible for his care of systematic failings as a damning report reveals it minimised details of the risk he posed. i think i can categorically say that if this man had been treated, and if he had taken his treatment, this whole attack would have been avoided. a warning from the prime minister to iran that an attack on israel risks all—out war in the region. hundreds of greek firefighters and dozens of aircraft are battling wildfires in northern athens. and the two sisters attempting to stage the largest england versus wales all—star charity football match in memory of one of their sons — joseph. i have to believe that his passing was for us to do something else,
7:02 am
to do something better and good in this life. good morning. we have a band of cloud and rain pushing eastward through the day. behind it, sunshine and showers and windy. ahead of it, dry and sunny but not as hot and humid. all the details shortly. it's tuesday, 13th august. the families of three people killed by a mentally ill man in nottingham say the services responsible for his care in the lead up to the attacks have blood on their hands. a report released today by the care quality commission says key details about the risk posed by valdo calocane were minimised or omitted by nottinghamshire health care nhs foundation trust. the health secretary, wes streeting, says he expects services across england to learn from the review. our social affairs editor alison holt has this report.
7:03 am
injune last year, valdo calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, went on a rampage through the streets of nottingham. it led to the fatal stabbings of 19—year—old students grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber and 65—year—old caretaker ian coates. three others were also seriously injured. cctv picked up calocane walking for hours before the attacks. today's report describes him as having been acutely unwell for the previous few years, but says mental health assessments missed key details and minimise the risks he posed to himself and others. the co qc says those conducted were inadequate. the second point is because you cannot get hold of a patient, you do not discharge them. that is irresponsible. this is a
7:04 am
person— that is irresponsible. this is a person with escalation of violent behaviour— person with escalation of violent behaviour and non—adherence to his medication — behaviour and non—adherence to his medication. so these are all risk factors— medication. so these are all risk factors for— medication. so these are all risk factors for homicide. his risk for public— factors for homicide. his risk for public safety should have been taken more seriously and these aspects were _ more seriously and these aspects were completely ignored. the care quality commission says that over the two years calocane was in the care of nottinghamshire mental health services, there were difficulties getting him to take his medication. his aggression was increasing when he was unwell. in the community, he missed appointments, and when he was discharged back to his gp in september 2022, the risks weren't considered properly. while it is not possible to say that the devastating events of last year would not have taken place had valdo calocane received that support, what is clear is that the risk he presented to the public was not managed well and that opportunities to mitigate that risk were missed by the team. the report also says more should
7:05 am
have been done to include valdo calocane's mother and brother in his care. they told bbc panorama they tried to raise concerns with mental health teams. later, calocane said he didn't want information shared with them. we're his family. we're trying to help as best we can, but we're sort of like cut off after a point, and we're not told pretty much anything. nottinghamshire health care foundation trust says it accepts the report and that it's doing everything in its power to understand and learn from the missed opportunities. the families of barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates say they want to see more accountability at the senior levels of organisations, as well as changes to systems and laws to try to prevent future tragedies. alison holt, bbc news. the families of calocane's victims say a public inquiry will now take place and have released a statement.
7:06 am
it says... the relatives of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar said the report demonstrates "gross, systematic failures in the mental health trust" from beginning to end. they said clinicians involved in his care "must bear a heavy burden of responsibility for theirfailures and poor decision—making". they said, alongside leicestershire and nottinghamshire police, departments and individuals within nottinghamshire's nhs trust "have blood on their hands". we're joined now by our political correspondent hannah miller. what more can you tell us about developments and looking at a possible public inquiry? before he was prime minister, _ possible public inquiry? before he was prime minister, keir - possible public inquiry? before he was prime minister, keir starmer| was prime minister, keir starmer said that the families' calls for a judge led public inquiry would be the right way forward. he said that
7:07 am
is the least the families are owed, to have someone looking at what happened, what opportunities were missed when there could have been interventions, why those did not happen. it might also look at the way families were communicated with, what they were told by the police and prosecutors in the aftermath of this. we have been told by people in government of that commitment to a public inquiry, that it still exists. the families have suggested they were told as recently as last week it remains a commitment. but we are not expecting to hear anything more today nor any details as to what exactly it will look at. we have heard from the health secretary wes streeting. who has said that more needs to be done to improve mental health services. he said he
7:08 am
expects the findings and recommendations in this report to be considered and applied throughout the country. the improving mental health services is something that we have heard many times in different ways and will be a challenge to achieve. and now more of the news including breaking international stories. the israeli military says it's at "peak alert" for a potential attack from iran which washington has said "could be this week". it comes as the prime minister sir keir starmer made a rare call urging iran not to attack israel, as part of international efforts to de—escalate tensions in the region. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in beirut for us this morning. it is very tense across the region right now. it it is very tense across the region right now-—
7:09 am
it is very tense across the region ritht now. .,, ., ., , ., right now. it was a rare phone call between the _ right now. it was a rare phone call between the prime _ right now. it was a rare phone call between the prime minister i right now. it was a rare phone call between the prime minister and i right now. it was a rare phone call. between the prime minister and the iranian president. the last call between the prime minister and an iranian president happened in 2021, so it shows how serious it is. the prime minister telling the iranian president there is a risk of miscalculation and now is the time for careful consideration. also a joint statement from the uk, us and european countries are urging iran to stop its threats of an attack on israel. there is real concern iran is planning an attack on israel in response to the assassination of the hamas political leader last week. and the biden administration believes an iranian attack could happen this week. there is also the concern that the powerful militia
7:10 am
hezbollah, oversenior concern that the powerful militia hezbollah, over senior commanders. there is a concern it could lead to a wider regional conflict and the main hope to de—escalate tensions is a ceasefire in gaza. talks are expected on thursday but there is little hope of any kind of progress can be made. little hope of any kind of progress can be made-— ukraine's president zelensky says any attack is justified to force russia to consider peace. officials say kyiv�*s forces — shown here in yellow — now control almost 400 square miles of russian territory following a surprise offensive last week. president putin has vowed to "kick the enemy out". our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. a music video from the russian military allegedly showing it targeting ukrainian troops who had crossed the border. it's presented like a blockbuster.
7:11 am
in reality, this is a huge problem for russia. the governor of russia's kursk region put it in figures. he told vladimir putin that ukrainian soldiers had seized 28 settlements in his region. the kremlin leader cut him off. "leave the numbers to the military," he said. translation: the main task| is with our ministry of defence and that is to force the enemy from our territory. our adversary will, of course, receive a fitting response and, without doubt, all our objectives will be met. as ukrainian troops have moved in, residents have moved out. officials say that more than 120,000 people have been evacuated in kursk region, and thousands more in the neighbouring region of belgorod.
7:12 am
there are fears of a ukrainian incursion there, too. what is happening is huge. for the first time in more than 80 years, foreign troops are fighting on russian soil. and yet, the country's leadership describes this as a provocation, a terrorist attack. the kremlin still avoids using the word "war" as if to tell the people there's no need to panic. on the streets of moscow, no shock, just resignation about ukraine's offensive. "i'm not surprised," olga says. "it's a border area and this war has been going on for some time." what we all want is peace and, like, the quickest resolution of this conflict. in the meantime, these volunteers are trying to do something. in moscow, they've organised a collection of food and clothes for the evacuees. there are people who
7:13 am
lost their homes there. they need shelter. they need food, they need supplies. it was their country that invaded ukraine. russians are now having to deal with unforeseen consequences. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. the inquest into the death of former england and surrey cricketer graham thorpe will be opened today. considered one of the best players of his generation, thorpe died last week at the age of 55. his family say he took his own life having suffered from depression and anxiety for years. a man has been charged with attempted murder following the stabbing of an 11—year—old girl in leicester square yesterday. 32—year—old ioan pintaru is due to appear at westminster magistrates' court later. the victim's injuries are said to be serious,
7:14 am
but not life—threatening. firefighters and soldiers in greece are continuing to tackle nearly 30 miles of wildfires that are edging nearer to the centre of athens. thousands of people living near the capital have fled their homes, and officials say countries including france and italy are sending reinforcements. our reporterjoe inwood has this report. sometimes, faced with flames reaching up to 25m high, all you can do is stand and watch. but thousands have fled the wildfires that have now reached the outskirts of athens. others, like 64—year—old anna, have decided to try and stay and protect their properties. translatioin: early in the morning, we were constantly receiving - messages telling us to evacuate. we were terrified. we thought the fire would go elsewhere, but suddenly it came to our homes. we panicked and evacuated then, but now we've returned to save whatever we can.
7:15 am
greece has just experienced its hottestjune and july on record, with strong winds helping the flames spread. the authorities have been trying to beat them back, with around 700 firefighters, 120 vehicles and large numbers of soldiers all involved, aided by local people doing what they can to protect their homes. 30 different communities have been messaged by the authorities telling them to leave, even though help is said to be on its way. translation: in response to our country's request for assistance, l france has sent a helicopter. italy is sending two aircraft, and the czech republic is sending 75 firefighters and 25 vehicles, including nine water tankers. and while it is greece currently suffering, extreme temperatures are an increasing problem for all of europe.
7:16 am
a study published in nature medicine found the continent suffered 50,000 excess deaths last year linked to heat waves caused by man—made climate change. with at least one person already killed by these fires and reports of others being taken to hospital with breathing problems, the price being paid could get higher still. joe inwood, bbc news. our correspondentjessica parker is outside athens for us now. we can see some of the damage around you. is there any sign these fires are coming under control? it looks like the line—up might have frozen. we will return a little bit later. donald trump says he'll return to the town in pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt last month. the republican presidential candidate made the comments during a live—streamed interview with the billionaire elon musk
7:17 am
on his social media platform x. the two—hour conversation was delayed by technical issues which the tech billionaire blamed on a cyber attack. i knew immediately that it was a bullet. that it was at the ear, because it hit very hard, but hit the ear. and i also heard people shout bullets, bullets, get down, get down. because i moved down pretty nicely, pretty quickly. we had bullets flying right over my head after i went down so i am glad i went down. that interview streamed online overnight. an incredibly detailed and well—preserved roman mosaic has been uncovered by archaeologists in shropshire. it was found during a dig at the site of wroxeter roman city, which was once as large as pompeii.
7:18 am
it shows dolphins and fish in a pattern of red, blue and yellow tiles. the discovery was announced by english heritage. how amazing is that? absolutely gorgeous. and not quite as hot as pompeii sometimes get in italy at this time of year. we can find out now. good morning. yesterday we reached 34.8 celsius in cambridge which made it the hottest day of the year so far. as we go through the week, it will turn cooler and more unsettled. we will see spells of rain and it will be windy. still some sunny spells around. at the weekend, things climbing down. dry with sunshine for most. weather fronts in the far north—west of scotland could

7:21 am
canon andrew hindley worked in the blackburn diocese. over that time, he faced allegations of abuse, including sexual assault. we've now discovered when he left in 2022, it was with a payoff believed to be around £250,000. when i was first ordained, i imagined that i'd be a priest for ever. rowena pailing was a senior blackburn cathedral priest who resigned in protest at the payoff. the message that that sends to victims and survivors is absolutely horrific. so when there were senior clergy, bishops, saying, "oh, this is wonderful, it's all resolved, a settlement has been, has been reached" and expecting me to be happy, i was devastated. canon hindley faced five police investigations. he was never charged and has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. but risk assessments commissioned by the church itself concluded
7:22 am
he did pose a potential risk to children and young people. for years, the church failed to act effectively on the warnings. the first reaction seemed to be one of fear to take it on. joan, not her real name, says her relative made a complaint of sexual misconduct against canon hindley. she won't talk about the allegations themselves, but says herfamily was deeply let down by the church. that fear seemed to revolve around the likelihood that the church could be brought down by this. a former bishop of blackburn even suggested she and herfamily move on. canon hindley was suspended, but restrictions on him weren't monitored. internal church investigations into him were dismissed and there were more allegations, as recently as 2018. the institution seemed fearful he would take legal action if he was removed. well, having not managed for years to get rid of a priest who was deemed a risk to young people, we've seen leaked letters
7:23 am
that show that leaders of the church of england felt an alternative would just be to close blackburn cathedral completely. a plan that wasn'tjust discussed but appears at one point to have been approved. in the end, canon hindley was forced to retire early and accepted a large payment. the church says it was to settle a legal dispute and was their only option to remove him. i don't think anybody can be quite happy with the way that that situation was resolved. the current bishop of blackburn, philip north, was not in post when the settlement was made and says lessons need to be learned. but what about all the warnings the church had? there is a grey area around risk assessments, and so a priest can have a risk assessment, which can indicate a level of risk and the action, the powers of a diocesan bishop are limited. there are people listening who will feel there's no grey area there. if a risk assessment comes along
7:24 am
and says children are unsafe around a member of clergy, that's pretty black and white. i completely agree with you. i suppose, i suppose the answer would be, but actually that priest hasn't done anything yet. it would depend on the findings of the risk assessment, but my view is that if a risk assessment says that a priest is a risk, ishould be able to take action. and at the moment, the disciplinary processes in the church are not strong enough to do that. and that's an area where i and others will be pushing for change. for rowena pailing, the church of england absolutely could and should have done more. she says its repeated failings meant she had no choice but to step down. i took a decision on conscience that i couldn't work for an organisation which put its own reputation and the protection of alleged abusers above the protection and care, and listening to victims and survivors. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in blackburn. and to hear more, you can listen

ashes were scattered but they can also walk away from it and hopefully leave the grief. a lot of families say it gives them closure, sometimes they did not realise they needed the closure or could have closure but because we have scatter the ashes, the final ritual, it gives them the closure. generally, people are very pleased with our service. it is pleased with our service. it is treat pleased with our service. it is great they — pleased with our service. it is great they get _ pleased with our service. it is great they get the _ pleased with our service. it is great they get the closure and i can see that. i wonder, people might be watching not part of the family, friendship group, and do not like the idea that ashes are being scattered from above onto land where they might be. we scattered from above onto land where they might be— they might be. we would never scatter anywhere _ they might be. we would never scatter anywhere near - they might be. we would never scatter anywhere near anyone l they might be. we would never. scatter anywhere near anyone not involved. if we do places, we generally do it in a sterile area, so a beach early in the morning when no one else is the ashes is powdery

before the age of two. most of the time it causes a mild illness much like the common cold, but in severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia or even prove fatal. health experts estimate the vaccine programme could lead to 70,000 fewer cases of rsv. the vaccine was rolled out in scotland yesterday and will be offered in the other uk nations from september. christine burlison's newborn daughter contracted rsvjust days after leaving the hospital. it was a really devastating time when at just 11 it was a really devastating time when atjust 11 days old, she contracted rsv and bronchiolitis, and had real difficulty breathing. as a result of something that i thought was just a common cold but ended up being a lot more serious. after quite a traumatic experience of being in hospital with herfor seven days, when she was only a

couple of weeks old, i was then able to go home and recover with her. a few years later when i had my son, i was really grateful to have the knowledge to know what to look out for when he also became ill with symptoms of rsv. i was able to take him straight to hospital and get him the care he needed. we're nowjoined by professor damejenny harries, from the uk health security agency. good morning. you are telling me you are absolutely passionate about getting this right, explain to people watching this morning why this matters so much. i people watching this morning why this matters so much.— people watching this morning why this matters so much. i am. what we look for is the _ this matters so much. i am. what we look for is the burden _ this matters so much. i am. what we look for is the burden of _ this matters so much. i am. what we look for is the burden of disease, i look for is the burden of disease, the impact that this has on the population and where we can see an intervention like this vaccine to help with that, we clearly want to move it through. it's very exciting, we have new vaccines but they are based on many years of development and strong studies including in pregnant women. and we think as has
7:37 am
just been said, we will be preventing around 5000 infants going into hospital each year, we will certainly save lives through that, and we are going to have a really important positive impact on reducing the pressure is on our health system. i’m reducing the pressure is on our health system.— health system. i'm sure lots of --eole health system. i'm sure lots of people will _ health system. i'm sure lots of people will be _ health system. i'm sure lots of people will be at _ health system. i'm sure lots of people will be at home - health system. i'm sure lots of i people will be at home thinking, what's that, rsv, not heard of it before. and yet we were just saying, 90% of us will have had it very early on in our lives. what is it a particular about this virus which is so dangerous? this particular about this virus which is so dangerous?— particular about this virus which is so dangerous? as you say, 9096 of children under— so dangerous? as you say, 9096 of children under two _ so dangerous? as you say, 9096 of children under two will— so dangerous? as you say, 9096 of children under two will have i children under two will have experienced this and we will have it off them through life, but it will particularly impact the impact of age. very young and elderly people. young children get a bit of a cold but in very young infants, they can on to develop severe bronchiolitis and the need to support breathing in

7:40 am
and kids have to have that that is it, the quantity. what do you say to people who are worried about that? in many ways, the more vaccines we give, the more safe people can see. we do check to make sure that they do not interact in a difficult way and there are special advice on when people get vaccines. it is important thatis people get vaccines. it is important that is about 28 weeks onwards, prior to that time it is not effective. you can have it anywhere to the end of pregnancy. the really important thing is to talk to your health professional, they have been given advice on able support you to make the decision right for you. i make the decision right for you. i just want to ask you about this. scientists in africa are expected to declare a public health emergency over mpox, how worried should we be about that, and what is it?— about that, and what is it? clearly it is on the — about that, and what is it? clearly it is on the world _ about that, and what is it? clearly it is on the world stage. _ about that, and what is it? clearly it is on the world stage. we i about that, and what is it? clearly it is on the world stage. we have i it is on the world stage. we have been watching in the uk health security agency for many weeks. viewers will know that there was...

7:42 am
will keep an eye out, but we have changed and ensured our testing systems will pick it up, we have contingency planning arrangements, we have increased surveillance as well. there are no cases in the uk at the moment but we keep an eye on all of these affections across the world. ., ,,., all of these affections across the world. ., . , ., , world. professor dame jenny harries, thank ou world. professor dame jenny harries, thank you very _ world. professor dame jenny harries, thank you very much _ world. professor dame jenny harries, thank you very much indeed. - thank you very much indeed. quarter to eight, thank you for joining us on breakfast. john has the sport. good morning. the premier league returns on friday and last night two relegated sides got their season under way in the championship with burnley starting in style against luton. they were 2—0 up at half—time and although luton pulled one back, two further goals including one from vitinho made it comfortable, running out 4—1 winners. could it be an early indication of things to come? scott parker who replaced vincent kompany who joined bayern munich with a big win to kick off the campaign. we've seen the biggest transfer of the summer so far
7:43 am
and surprisingly it's not manchester city splashing the cash but receiving it. they've agreed to sell julian alvarez for a staggering £81 million to atletico madrid. he won six major trophies with city, and with that money in the bank, i'm sure football fans will be speculating who might come in to replace him. meanwhile brentford have signed liverpool winger fabio carvalho for £27.5 million. he's signed for five years, with an option for one more. we're set for a thrilling finish in cricket's hundred win over trent rockets at edgbaston. jacob bethell hit the winning runs for phoenix. with one round of games left, and that win lifts them up to third so they can still reach saturday's eliminator. rockets are now out of contention. and trent rockets women overcame a late batting collapse to claim a three—wicket win over birmingham phoenix to stay

7:49 am
hello, joseph. oh, no, it's the bad guys coming! when we had the news thatjoseph had cancer, everything rushed through my head. like, he was meant to start school after the easter holidays. we'd bought him his school shoes, and i was just desperately panicking, was he going to wear those school shoes? hope, hope is everything. oh, thank you, joseph. but i have to believe that his passing was for us to do something else, to do something better and good in this life. this is quite some message. we're nowjoined by katy and emma, as well as footballer ashley williams. and emma, as well as we

7:59 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines. blood on their hands — the families of the victims of valdo calocane accuse the mental health trust responsible for his care of systematic failings, as a damning report reveals it minimised details of the risk he posed.
8:00 am
i think i can categorically say that if this man had been treated, and if he had taken his treatment, this whole attack would have been avoided. a warning from the prime minister to iran that an attack on israel risks all—out war in the region. hundreds of greek firefighters and dozens of aircraft are battling wildfires that are threatening northern athens. a quarter of uk adults are out of work. we are at a charity in london that matches the right suit with the right man so they feel good for those interviews.— right man so they feel good for those interviews. looking sharp. thank you- _ those interviews. looking sharp. thank you. the _ those interviews. looking sharp. thank you. the paris _ those interviews. looking sharp. thank you. the paris olympics i those interviews. looking sharp. - thank you. the paris olympics might be over but how _ thank you. the paris olympics might be over but how do _ thank you. the paris olympics might be over but how do you _ thank you. the paris olympics might be over but how do you inspire - be over but how do you inspire olympians of tomorrow? i am at a sports club in london where we hope to find out. we have cloud and rain in the west

pushing eastward through the day and behind it sunshine and showers and windy. ahead of it, dry and not as hot and windy. ahead of it, dry and not as hotand humid. hot and humid. all the hotand humid. all the details hot and humid. all the details shortly. it's tuesday, 13th august. our main story. the families of three people killed by a mentally ill man in nottingham say the services responsible for his care in the lead—up to the attacks have blood on their hands. a report released today by the care quality commission says key details about the risk posed by valdo calocane were minimised or omitted by nottinghamshire healthcare nhs foundation trust. the health secretary, wes streeting, says he expects services across england to learn from the review. our social affairs editor alison holt has this report. injune last year, valdo calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, went on a rampage through the streets of nottingham. it led to the fatal stabbings of 19—year—old students
8:02 am
grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber and of 65—year—old caretaker ian coates. three others were also seriously injured. cctv picked up calocane walking for hours before the attacks. today's report describes him as having been acutely unwell for the previous few years, but says mental health assessments missed key details and minimise the risks he posed to himself and others. the cqc says the risk assessments, whichever ones were conducted — and there were some conducted — were hopeless and inadequate. they were not conducted properly. that's the first point. the second point is just because you cannot get hold of a patient, you don't discharge them — that is utterly irresponsible. this was a person with escalating violent behaviour, non—adherence to his medication and lack of engagement with his health care. so these are all risk factors for homicide. his risk as a danger for public
8:03 am
safety should have been taken more seriously and these aspects were completely ignored. the care quality commission says that over the two years calocane was in the care of nottinghamshire mental health services, there were difficulties getting him to take his medication. his aggression was increasing when he was unwell. in the community, he missed appointments, and when he was discharged back to his gp in september 2022, the risks weren't considered properly. while it is not possible to say that the devastating events of last year would not have taken place had valdo calocane received that support, what is clear is that the risk he presented to the public was not managed well and that opportunities to mitigate that risk were missed by the team. the report also says more should have been done to include valdo calocane's mother and brother in his care. they told bbc panorama they tried to raise concerns with mental health teams. later, calocane said he didn't want information shared with them.
8:04 am
we're his family. we're trying to help as best we can, but we're sort of like cut off after a point, and we're not told pretty much anything. nottinghamshire health care foundation trust says it accepts the report and that it's doing everything in its power to understand and learn from the missed opportunities. the families of barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates say they want to see more accountability at the senior levels of organisations, as well as changes to systems and laws to try to prevent future tragedies. alison holt, bbc news. the families say a public inquiry will take place and have released a statement. o'malley—kumar said the report "demonstrates gross, systematic failures in the mental health trust" from beginning to end. they said clinicians involved in his care "must bear a heavy
8:05 am
burden of responsibility for theirfailures and poor decision—making". they said that alongside leicestershire and nottinghamshire police, departments and individuals within nottinghamshire's nhs trust "have blood on their hands". now more of today's news. the israeli military says it's at peak alert for a potential attack from iran, which washington has said could be this week. it comes as the prime minister sir keir starmer made a rare call urging iran not to attack israel as part of international efforts to de—escalate tensions in the region. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in beirut. it is clearly a very tense time across the region.— it is clearly a very tense time across the region. yes. this phone call was a —

8:07 am
hezbollah here, supported by iran, could be planning a widescale attack on israel to respond to the assassination of the senior commander. concerns of an escalation in hostilities and possibility of a wider regional conflict in the middle east. ukraine's president zelensky says any attack is justified to force russia to consider peace. officials say kyiv�*s forces, shown here in yellow — to the north east of ukraine — now control almost 400 square miles of russian territory following a surprise offensive last week. our russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow for us this morning, steve, president putin has vowed to "kick the enemy out". is there any sign of what he means? over the past days the russian
8:08 am
military has been pouring extra resources into kursk region with more tanks and artillery and troops. clearly determined to push ukrainian soldiers out. they have not managed to do it so far. yesterday, vladimir putin held a meeting with senior aides and i thought his language was interesting as he talks about the situation, events taking place. he did not use the word invasion, which i think was on purpose to try to show the situation is under control and no need to panic. but the numbers put out are extraordinary. the governor of kursk region said 120,000 people had been evacuated from their homes near the border in the combat zone. altogether 180,000 people would be evacuated. in neighbouring belgorod region, thousands more moved from their
8:09 am
homes because there is fear there there could be a similar ukrainian incursion. the message from the authorities in moscow is the situation is serious, they are trying to do all they can to restore control, but they have not managed to do that yet. the inquest into the death of former england and surrey cricketer graham thorpe will be opened today. considered one of the best players of his generation, thorpe died last week at the age of 55. his family say he took his own life having suffered from depression and anxiety for years. a man has been charged with attempted murder following the stabbing of an 11—year—old girl in leicester square yesterday. 32—year—old loan pintaru is due to appear at westminster magistrates' court later. the victim's injuries are said to be serious, but not life—threatening. firefighters and soldiers in greece are continuing to tackle nearly 30
8:10 am
miles of wildfires which are edging nearer to the centre of athens. thousands of people living near the capital have fled their homes, and officials say countries including france and italy are sending reinforcements. our reporterjoe inwood has the story. sometimes, faced with flames reaching up to 25m high, all you can do is stand and watch. but thousands have fled the wildfires that have now reached the outskirts of athens. others, like 64—year—old anna, have decided to try and stay and protect their properties. translation: early in the morning, we were constantly receiving - messages telling us to evacuate. we were terrified. we thought the fire would go elsewhere, but suddenly it came to our homes. we panicked and evacuated then, but now we've returned to save whatever we can. greece has just experienced its hottestjune and july on record,
8:11 am
with strong winds helping the flames spread. the authorities have been trying to beat them back, with around 700 firefighters, 120 vehicles and large numbers of soldiers all involved, aided by local people doing what they can to protect their homes. 30 different communities have been messaged by the authorities telling them to leave, even though help is said to be on its way. translation: in response to our country's request for assistance, l france has sent a helicopter. italy is sending two aircraft, and the czech republic is sending 75 firefighters and 25 vehicles, including nine water tankers. and while it is greece currently suffering, extreme temperatures are an increasing problem for all of europe. a study published in nature medicine found the continent suffered 50,000 excess deaths last year linked to heat waves caused

by man—made climate change. with at least one person already killed by these fires and reports of others being taken to hospital with breathing problems, the price being paid could get higher still. joe inwood, bbc news. donald trump says he'll return to the town in pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt last month. the republican presidential candidate made the comments during a live—streamed conversation with the billionaire elon musk on his social media platform x. i knew immediately that it was a bullet. that it was at the ear, because it hit very hard, but hit the ear. and i also heard people shout bullets, bullets, you know, get down, get down. because i moved down pretty nicely, pretty quickly.
8:13 am
we had bullets flying right over my head after i went down so i am glad i went down. they spoke for two hours. it was delayed because of technical issues, ironically, but it happened and there is a report on the bbc website. as a man who paints on walls without permission, he probably can't complain — but banksy�*s most recent creation has been damaged. this is how his eighth artwork in as many days. it shows a rhino appearing to get up close and personal with a nissan micra in charlton, in southeast london. butjust a few hours after it was confirmed as a genuine banksy, this happened. look, look. why did you do that? shock— look, look. why did you do that? shock in— look, look. why did you do that? shock in the _ look, look. why did you do that? shock in the crowd.

8:23 am
was found in 1985, thousands of items have been brought to the surface — each providing an insight into the lives of those who died that night. from bags to photos and documents — in a large storeroom, and our science editor rebecca morelle has been given extremely rare access to see them. relics from the most famous maritime disaster in history. from parts of the ship to passengers' belongings, everything here is a reminder of a tragedy at sea more than 100 years ago. i can't reveal the location of where i am. all i can say is that this warehouse is somewhere in atlanta, because what's inside here is incredibly precious. thousands of items recovered from the titanic, and every single one of them tells a story. this is a really beautiful little fashionable bag. and it belonged to marian meanwell. she was a 63—year—old milliner, which means she did all the little
8:24 am
detail work on hats and dresses. she was travelling to the us to be with her daughter, who was recently widowed. inside it was a medical card. all third—class passengers had to show they weren't bringing disease into the us. but it also reveals a twist of fate. what's really interesting is that we can see she was originally supposed to sail on the majestic. she actually got re—routed onto titanic. so unlucky. this is a letter, actually, a reference from a former landlord, and it says, "this is to certify that we have always found miss meanwell to be a good tenant. prompt with payment." and it's signed by wheeler & sons, landlord. i mean, it's amazing this has survived. but there's a photograph. we have very few photographs that survived. but this little picture we think is of her mother, but is just a little bit of an image of a woman left. so, unfortunately, ms meanwell did not make it. she was one of the people who perished.
8:25 am
being able to tell her story and have these objects is really important because, otherwise, you know, 1500 names. she's just another name on the list. the titanic sank in 1912 and lies at the bottom of the atlantic. all of the items were recovered from a debris field that surrounds the wreck, where the contents of the ship spilled out as it split apart. so this champagne bottle — we have several others as well — survived on the floor of the ocean for decades and actually still had its contents inside of it. there's a lot of bottles on the ocean floor and a lot of, like, stock pots and kitchen pots, because titanic actually broke up around one of the kitchens. so itjust kind of littered this debris all over the ocean floor. so the first—class passengers, i mean, it was pretty glamorous, wasn't it? yeah, titanic was supposed to be the most luxurious liner. so having champagne, having a gym, having all these amenities and all these great things
8:26 am
for the passengers would have been really important to them. some artefacts collected from the sea floor also come from those who survived. there was a perfume salesman on board and he actually had over 90 of these little perfume vials. and so you can actually still smell them. that's really — that's mad. after more than 100 years and all that time at the bottom of the ocean, you can still smell the perfume. yeah, and they're still so potent. they belonged to adolf saalfeld, one of 700 people who were rescued from the ship. he was travelling second class. amazingly, he survived. he went on to live in england after the sinking. he had passed by the time we found this, but it's my understanding that he did live with a bit of guilt — survivor's guilt. titanic was on her maiden voyage, travelling from southampton to the us, when she hit an iceberg. the ship, made from thousands of thick steel plates, was thought to be unsinkable.
8:27 am
these are rivets. they held each of the layers of the hull, overlapping together to form the exterior structure. so there were over three million of these on the ship. there was a theory that they were using substandard materials. so maybe the rivets weren't made of the best material, for example? yeah, there were high concentrates of slag in these, which is like a glass—like material that makes them maybe a little bit more brittle in the cold. but if one of the rivet heads popped off easier, then it could have allowed the seam to open up — where the iceberg hit — easier and made it bigger than it otherwise would have been. some items also show how life on board differed for the social classes. from a sturdy and simple third—class cup to delicate and detailed china for first class. the items retrieved are put on display in exhibitions around the world. rms titanic inc have the only salvage rights to the ship. what do they say to those who think the wreck�*s a grave site that should be left alone? titanic is something that we want to respect
8:28 am
and we want to make sure that we're preserving the memory. because not everyone can go down to titanic, not everyone can go to the ship, and we want to be able to bring that to the public. the company's latest expedition has identified more objects they'd like to bring back. who knows what they'll find and the details each item may tell. rebecca morelle, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. so even more history being brought from the sea bed. incredible. how did the photographs survive? time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a 32—year—old man remains in police custody after being arrested in connection with a stabbing in leicester square. an 11—year—old girl and a 34—year—old woman were targeted in attack yesterday. their injuries are not believed to be life—threatening. the met said it does not believe the victims knew their attacker.

a mother and daughter, who have mobility issues, say they were made to feel a "burden" by heathrow airport and british airways staff because of their disabilities. jo and amy pohl said they were made to feel "undignified" at every stage from airport security until boarding the plane at terminal five. ba and heathrow airport have apologised and say they are investigating what went wrong. my mum just started crying. like, it was like one thing after another that day. and wejust, wejust... i felt like my dog would get better treatment at that airport than i did. baby beavers have been born in london for the first time in over 400 years at a site in greenford. beavers were introduced at the site in october with the aim of reducing flooding. experts say it shows they are happy in their new habitat and can thrive in cities. it's a real thrill to look at the camera footage and just suddenly see this tiny, miniature beaver. very, very cute.

8:31 am
we have got some cloud and rain in the forecast, but then it starts to brighten up as we have a look to the weekend once again. now, through the rest of the day, though, it is going to be largely dry, we have got plenty of sunshine, some patchy cloud in places but feeling hot in that sunshine, for some, with highs of around 28 celsius. we do start to see a change later through the evening and into the early part of wednesday morning. we have got some cloud building in and some rain as well which could be heavy at times, quite a grey and damp start to our wednesday morning. quite a change in what we've seen so far. it is widely mild to start the day, though, at around 16 to 18 celsius. through the rest of wednesday, it's going to stay largely cloudy. thursday could be quite windy as well so a little bit more unsettled through the middle part of the week. but it does brighten up as we have a look to the weekend with plenty of sunshine in the forecast. i'll be back with another update at 9.15. have a very good day.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. a £10,000 reward for information is being offered by police hunting a burglar who has been targeting expensive properties in south—east england for more than a decade. dubbed the "night watcher", his most recent victim was a 63—year—old woman who was attacked and tied up while jewellery worth £2 million was taken from her home in kent. our reporter simon jones has the story. has the night watcher struck again? as a 63—year—old woman who's blurred in this footage returns home, she's attacked from behind. she's forced to go inside the house, made to open the safe, hit with a gun and tied up. it's horrifying, isn't it? that incident must have been so scary and upsetting for the victim to have gone through that and now having to live with the memory of that and not feeling safe in her home. so could this be another attack by the man who's been
8:33 am
dubbed the night watcher? we are aware that there's a certain number of offences that have happened over the last decade that have very similar characteristics, and we're definitely keeping an open mind in that this could be the same person. the night watcher is believed to have targeted homes across the south east for several years, staking out expensive properties, getting to know their layout and the occupants' movements before striking. the man who carried out the burglary in sevenoaks on 21stjune, made off with jewellery and watches worth almost £2 million. the victim's husband said "home no longer feels like our safe haven, but a constant reminder of the mental and physical trauma inflicted. finding my injured wife with her hands and legs bound was shocking. and that image will stay with me. it's what you might expect to see in a horror movie." the charity crimestoppers is offering a reward of £10,000 for information that leads to the burglar�*s conviction. it's because it's a particularly heinous crime where, you know, a woman has been,
8:34 am
you know, severely attacked as part of a very serious aggravated burglary, which has not only caused damage to herself, but nearly £2 million worth of goods have been stolen. so we think it's a very serious crime. so we wanted to help kent police in their call to action. after the burglary in sevenoaks, the suspect is seen catching a train. he's got his bike with him and his face covered. these are his known movements. he's seen at hildenborough stationjust after 5:30. he then travels on to tunbridge. he gets off the train just after 6:00pm at marden. he then cycles off. the fear is if he's not caught, he could attack again. simon jones, bbc news. incredible story. remarkable -ictures incredible story. remarkable pictures as — incredible story. remarkable pictures as well. _ the latest unemployment figures have been released and nina is at charity in london that helps young men into employment.

8:38 am
so young people today, in their early 20s are now more likely to be out of work due to sickness than people in their early 40s which is really worrying. find people in their early 40s which is really worrying-— really worrying. and it is a trend we have not _ really worrying. and it is a trend we have not seen _ really worrying. and it is a trend we have not seen before - really worrying. and it is a trend we have not seen before and - really worrying. and it is a trend we have not seen before and a i really worrying. and it is a trend i we have not seen before and a lot really worrying. and it is a trend - we have not seen before and a lot of it is linked to mental health. so what needs to happen now, we have heard the chancellor rachel reeves respond by saying, people... it's not always the that simple? it’s not always the that simple? it's eo - le not always the that simple? it's people who _ not always the that simple? it�*s people who are not able to work and mental health is a very good part of that —— big part of it. in terms of what the government can do, health provision and mental health care is a really important part of it but we need to think about people supporting people into work if they can work. so it's about helping people to find the rightjobs, making sure people have skills and helping make that transition as smooth as possible. it's also about making sure that the jobs that are out there are good and secure jobs with the flexibility someone needs to manage a health condition. that transformation _ to manage a health condition. that transformation can _ to manage a health condition. that

8:40 am
the red planet. for years, scientists have searched for the secrets of its watery past. its surface is marked by channels from ancient rivers, but it's now a desert. this latest study has finally found the planet's missing liquid water — buried deep in the martian rock. to locate it, researchers had to listen for vibrations beneath the surface. touchdown confirmed. cheering. and that was the aim back in 2018, when i was at nasa'sjet propulsion laboratory as the team celebrated the successful landing of the mars insight probe. it will be sending its data back here to mission control at nasa in california. it carried a seismometer, a device that picked up vibrations from inside the planet — mars quakes. during its four years of quietly listening, insight provided scientists with a record of seismic activity, and that has painted a picture of the internal structure of mars. the probe recorded more than 1,300
8:41 am
quakes, and the researchers have now studied that record in detail, analysing exactly how mars moves. the vibrations reveal what the planet is made of and they showed that deep in the rocky martian crust, there are reservoirs of water. we've identified places on mars where there are large amounts of liquid water. you know, water is the most important molecule in shaping the evolution of a planet and its climate. and we've identified how much of it is present and where it's sitting. this martian groundwater is between 10km and 20km beneath the surface. it'll be difficult to reach, but it could guide scientists to another promising target in the ongoing search for signs of life on mars. for now, though, this has uncovered a secret about the history of the red planet that has been buried for billions of years. victoria gill, bbc news. wow, it does feel like every year we get a little bit closer to that big

8:47 am
in batches, so they've been planted at different times, which means that there's different blooming times. so it means that we can have flowers out in bloom at all times when people are coming through. so we've started today, this is our first day, and then we're going to finish on the 1st of september. planting began back in may for this year's festival at tulleys farm near crawley. there are 30 varieties of sunflower here on this farm over 12 acres, and this one has got to be my favourite. it's the moulin rouge and she's absolutely stunning. a kaleidoscope of colour symbolising warmth and happiness. they remind us of our holidays in france, where there's lots of sunflower fields, so it's nice to be back enjoying them. savour every moment. yes. one of them was this much taller than me. twice my height. wow! that's enormous. and some of them are different colours. what's it like being here in
8:48 am
the fields with all the sunflowers? how does it make you feel? it feels therapeutic, actually. nice time out of work, sojust enjoying the sunshine and the garden. it's lovely. it's just so lovely to be outside in the nice weather and it'sjust got a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. and, of course, these days, it's all about getting your photos on instagram. fields of fabulous flowers with an air of positivity. you might sayjust what we need right now. chrissie reidy, bbc news. we are getting out and about a lot this morning, getting the summer vibes. do you have a favourite holiday destination? many of us will return year after year but how about doing it every summer for 57 years?

potentially with the same seagulls in the background! bind potentially with the same seagulls in the background!— in the background! and the same --eole! that's the reality for a couple from preston, who've been visiting bude in cornwall since 1967 and have no plans to stop. our reporter andrea ormsby has been to meet them. i'll get the chairs out. back in bude. oh, it took a bit of pulling today. colin and doreen hunt, from preston in lancashire, have had a year or two to perfect their summer holiday routine here. and another. and another one. deckchairs out, beach hut closed. all right, there we are. time to relax. on — oh, that's better. that's better. look at that surf. these two former teachers are real characters. she's 88 and he's 87. he will be 88 in four weeks. i'm a toy boy for three months of the year. so where did the whole bude thing begin? we first came in 1967 and our son was 11 months old.
8:50 am
in fact, he learned to walk here. and our daughter was almost three. and we've been coming every year since. nothing has stopped us, even during covid. we came down every year during then. bude is where they learnt to surf. it was all on the old wooden belly boards then. we didn't call it surfing, not like they do now, have to stand up. and it's where they started walking the south west coast path in sections, finishing the whole thing in 2000. so has there ever been a time they were tempted to bin bude? no! no. no, no. no. we always had at least a week in bude wherever else we went. we have walked all over the world, but there's nowhere more beautiful than the south west coast path. we've never been to a better place for a family holiday. there's so much to do, notjust the sea. we've been to very pretty, picturesque villages.
8:51 am
but bude, i think, has everything. it's got the scenery, it's got the sea, and it's got a lot of other activities. i think it's fair to say they quite like the place. i mean, there's so many happy memories connected with bude and especially being with the family, because i think we have a close family, you know, and it's lovely being down with the children and then with the grandchildren, and we're so pleased that the grandchildren enjoy it as much as we did. it'sjust beautiful. we look forward to it every year. we shall be coming as long as we can make it. oh, that's nice. if they get to 60 summer holidays here, they say they'll have a big party. but with these two, i think we should start planning now for the 70th celebrations. andrea ormsby, bbc news. aren't they amazing? we have loved that this morning. lots of you getting in touch, we will read out
