# you gotta roll with it. # you gotta take your time.# what's the story? could the wait be over for oasis fans hoping for a reunion? good morning. from september there will be 15 hours of free childcare a week for those over nine months old. i come to this university in preston to find out how parents and staff are getting ready. a true gentleman of the game. tributes are paid to the former england manager, sven—goran eriksson, who's died at the age of 76. good morning. some heavy rain in the north and west of the country. slowly pushing south and east. behind a return to sunshine and showers. i had a very fine and dry but noticeably windy again. all of

the details shortly. it's tuesday, the 27th of august. our main story. the prime minister will promise to reverse a "decade of decline" when he delivers a speech from downing street later. he'll also say his government will "root out 1a years of rot" under the conservatives. the tories have dismissed the speech as a "performative" attempt to distract the public from promises sir keir starmer never had any intention of keeping. our political correspondent ben wright has more. sir keir starmer will say the hatred and division displayed in this summer's riots betrayed a sickness in society. but he will contrast the cynical conflict of populism with the people who stood up against it and cleared up their communities. he'll compare his task as prime minister with theirs in a speech that will set out the scale of the challenge facing his government. 50 people sir keir starmer met during the election campaign, from small business owners to firefighters, have been invited to the garden in downing street

to hear the prime minister promise a government of service. he is expected to say rooting out what he'll call 1a years of rot under the conservatives will take hard work and time. things will get worse before they get better. the frankly gloomy message echoes the chancellor's statement injuly, in which she warned the public finances were dire and said the government had inherited a mess that would require difficult decisions to fix. she will deliver a budget in october, which is likely to mean tax rises for some. and her plan to restrict winter fuel payments has prompted calls for a rethink from some labour mps and opposition parties too. the labour government has made a number of promises. it has promised to focus on economic growth, but my argument would be that it cannot do that at the expense of all the other things, including the safety net that the most vulnerable in our society, such as pensioners, need this winter. parliament is back next week and sir keir starmer will say it won't be business as usual.

the conservatives have dismissed the speech as a performative attempt to distract the public from promises they claim sir keir starmer never had any intention of keeping. but the prime minister hopes that by spelling out bluntly how tough things are, voters will be on board. ben wright, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, the prime minister is trying to set out his stall, but he's under pressure over support for pensioners, isn't he? yes, he is. good morning. ithink todayis yes, he is. good morning. ithink today is an attempt to try and own the narrative before parliament returns next week. it is about saying, look, on the one hand, things have moved on and i intend for this government to be very different. it is back in the service of working people, as sir keir

starmer puts it. at the same time trying to be what he would say realistic, saying there are tough choices to come, tough decisions will be announced. we can expect a lot of those over the next few weeks and months, particularly leading up to the budget that dan was talking about in his report. a lot of this might sound familiar, a lot is well sir keir starmer was saying in opposition. you come under pressure as prime minister. he is facing pressure over the decision to give a pass to number 10 to lord ali, who has been a big donor to keir starmer personally and the labour party. the prime minister is also basing pressure over the really controversial decision to remove winter fuel payments for millions of people. that will happen later in the year and that is something i

think he faces more pressure on today. the prime minister trying to set the scene before parliament comes back. it is not all on his terms. i think he will face tricky questions later.— terms. i think he will face tricky auestions later. ., ~ , ., , . questions later. thank you very much indeed. questions later. thank you very much indeed- full — questions later. thank you very much indeed. full coverage _ questions later. thank you very much indeed. full coverage of— questions later. thank you very much indeed. full coverage of that - questions later. thank you very much indeed. full coverage of that speech | indeed. full coverage of that speech on bbc news later today. russia has targeted ukraine with another wave of missile and drone attacks, a day after one of its biggest air attacks of the war so far. at least seven people were killed and dozens wounded — it's after a british national was killed in a strike at a hotel on saturday. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake has this report. the first strikes came in the early hours, crudely curtailing a long weekend of ukrainian independence day celebrations. this missile just missed a power station near the capital, kyiv. the ukrainian defenders shot down what they could. "i got it," this soldier exclaims. but one in five missiles did get through.

russia said it successfully targeted energy infrastructure. 0lia's brother was killed on the zaporizhzhia land he'd farmed all his life. translation: i was very scared because of the explosion. - i was shaking, and then i saw him and i couldn't recognise him. near the city of dnipro, lives and livelihoods extinguished. president zelenskyy argued that a collective effort had protected israel from aerial attack, and called on western allies to do more to shoot down russian missiles and drones. translation: it was one - of the biggest combined strikes, more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 iranian drones. in various ukrainian regions, we could have done more in order to protect life, if aircraft of our european neighbours had worked together with our f—16jets and air defence. the missiles also hit this region, sumy, which borders russia.

it was from here the ukrainians launched their surprise incursion three weeks ago, going in and then seizing russian territory. that undoubtedly gave ukraine a big morale boost. but today has been a jolting nationwide reminder of what russia is capable of. and the kremlin suggested more punishment for the recent incursion into russian soil was still to come. translation: such hostile actions cannot remain - without an appropriate response. there will definitely be a response. but ukraine, under great pressure on the home front, is on the attack — sending its own drones into russia, hitting the city of saratov and urging the west to allow it to strike further and harder. nick beake, bbc news in the sumy region, ukraine. the metropolitan police say five people were stabbed on the final day

of the notting hill carnival. two of the victims are in a life—threatening condition, while a 32—year—old woman who was stabbed on sunday also remains in critical condition. the force said they made at least 230 arrests yesterday, and that 35 officers were injured. investigators are trying to find out whether cladding played a role in a fire at a tower block in east london. more than 80 people were evacuated from the building in dagenham, in the early hours of yesterday morning. the fire service said the building had "known" safety issues. tom symonds reports. thankfully, no lives were lost in this fire, but homes were destroyed and residents traumatised. maybe another ten minutes and we'd be unconscious because of this very bad smoke. i don't find the words because it's terrible what happened. and i lost everything. everything, everything.

i have to take in from the spawn to buy everything. to... with the... with the frightened i will be on the street. while she and others pick up their lives, investigations into why this happened are beginning. people have mentioned where i've been sitting with them, concerns about the cladding, what... how long it's taken, that kind of thing as well. i will be asking very reaching questions and i will be on that straight away. residents say they were first told there were fire safety concerns about the building in 2020 after a survey. two years later, they wrote to a house of commons committee, saying the stress on leaseholders living in unsafe, unsellable flats with increasing service charges for well over three years is considerable. injuly last year, the council gave planning permission for dangerous cladding to be removed. that work was ongoing when the fire started. planning documents suggest the top floors had a type of laminated wood cladding called hpl.

we don't know how much of it had been taken down when the fire started, but we do know hpl has failed fire safety tests similar to this not recently, nearly 25 years ago. yet the tests were kept confidential. hpl was used on hundreds of buildings like this one in chelmsford. why did the building industry choose materials known to be a fire risk? well, that's one of the big questions being considered by the inquiry into the fire which destroyed grenfell, where 72 people died. the inquiry�*s final report will be published next week. and tom joins us from dagenham. tom, questions remain over what caused monday's fire? i think that will be some way off. we are still in the response phase

of this enormous operation. roads are closed in all directions. massive fire hoses running down as far as i can see supplying water to the building because they are still pumping tonnes of water on the root of this building, which gives you an idea of what the heat must have been like and the amount of work and effort needed to make sure this building of about 60 flats is safe in the meantime. what is going to be happening for the residents? they are unlikely frankly to get back to their flats fulsome time. imagine that experience last night all the night before last having to leave their homes in the middle of the night, leaving documents behind my medication perhaps, even simple things like phone chargers and close. they will need to be supplied with all of those items. i spoke to people the morning after the grenfell tower fire and it was the

little things that were occupying them at the beginning of that process of recovery. as for the investigation they will clearly be looking at whether the building work itself in some way caused the fire to start. they will also be looking at the management of the building. they were enforcement notices from the london fire brigade about potential breaches of fire safety regulations just last year and of course they will be looking at the cladding and whether that could have been removed before. many buildings like this around the country still had dangerous cladding and this shows the risk of what can happen. four more people have been arrested in connection with a fire that killed a woman and her three young children in bradford last week. west yorkshire police say the family's home was deliberately set alight in the early hours. two men are being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. two other people were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. more than 3,500 current and former staff of the fashion retailer next have

won their six—year legal fight for equal pay. it's a victory that's estimated to cost the company more than £30 million. an employment tribunal found the retailer had "indirectly" discriminated against women. next is planning to appeal against the decision. a new 24—hour emergency line for people in mental health crisis has been set up in england. it's the first time a support service for mental health issues has been available, alongside the non—emergency 111 numberfor physical illness and accidents. our health editor hugh pym has more. so where are you at the moment? are you on your own? it's a 24/7 service. callers to nhs111 in england can select a new option for mental health help. keep yourself safe for now. yeah. callers will be connected to a team of trained staff, like this one,

including nurses and clinicians. they can refer to mental health support or treatment from the local services available. specialist mental health helplines were set up during the pandemic, but the new 111 option will make it easier to access and find the right support. we can arrange for a home treatment team, a crisis team, to come and see you at home, or for you to go and see them if that's safe. gemma's team is taking around 300 calls a day. we're always busy. it's never... it's never quiet. the phone doesn't stop ringing — ever. we're trying to make the system as easy as we can make it, so that we can help people as quickly as possible. 0k. could you tell me a little bit about that if that's ok? yeah. chris is one of the call handlers. she admits it can be emotionally challenging. to do that when people are having some of the worst days of their life, pretty consistently for an entire walking week, it can fatigue you a little bit. i don't think i'd let a call finish if i wasn't satisfied that i knew that something had been done that was beneficial.

one day. sometimes callers are referred to a crisis cafe, like this one, the hillingdon cove, in northwest london. help and advice is on hand. stephen was experiencing a mental health crisis but struggled to find a helpline. 111 would have been the answer. in the park, with the police coming, i still couldn't get through to the mental health unit and i'd been there an hour trying to ring. whereas, as you say, if you ring one number and you can ask straight away, it makes it a lot easier for people, especially if it's advertised. 2 million people are waiting for mental health treatment in england. services are under pressure, so how much will the new initiative help? we're working flat out as the nhs to try and meet demand, but it would be wrong to suggest that we don't still have our challenges. i think what i want to convey, though, is if people have a mental health problem, if they are in crisis, we've just taken another huge step forward by introducing 111, who can put you through to your

local crisis lines. the nhs confederation representing trusts, said it was a welcome move, but it was vital the right level of resources was given for mental health care. hugh pym, bbc news. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. the weather today is fairly mixed. at the moment we have heavy rain across the north and west. also a windy day, particularly in the north—west and the irish sea. in the south—east it will feel quite worn with hazy sunshine in the afternoon. you can see this when in the north the west. a weather warning in south—west scotland. we could see up to a0 millimetres of rainfall. on higher ground more than that. this rain is going to be

steadily pushing south and east during the day. behind it, in scotland and northern ireland, a return to bright spells, sunshine and showers. ahead of it across england and wales we start off with sunshine. as the rain arrives the cloud will build turning the sunshine hazy. the street today. the wind will ease during the afternoon. highs of 25, 26 in the south—east. 20 in belfast. through this evening and overnight a weather front starts to weaken as it bumps into an area of high pressure in the south. the rain will turn more showery. again some showers coming in across the north and west. the wind is also easing. some clear skies. these are the overnight lows, ten to 1a. we start tomorrow with this narrow band of cloud, the old rain showers on it. it will push east during the

course of the day as a weak feature. further heavy showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. also a rumble of thunder with temperatures 15 to 27, possibly 28. tomorrow could well be the warmest day of the week so far, anyway. warmest day of the week so far, an a . ., ., ~' warmest day of the week so far, an a , ., ., " ., warmest day of the week so far, an a. ., , , , anyway. look at the numbers! they could aet anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. _ anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. i _ anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. i like _ anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. i like the - anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. i like the look- anyway. look at the numbers! they could get higher. i like the look of. could get higher. i like the look of that map after the august we have had. robotic coaches, which are programmed to guide stroke patients through rehabilitation exercises, could soon be tested in scotland. the technology picks up patient brain waves to understand their intended movements and support them through their therapy. our science and innovation correspondent laura goodwin has been to find out how it works. recovering from a stroke can be a long process, requiring hours of repetitive exercises to regain limb function. now, researchers are looking at whether robotic coaches could aid that recovery.

robotic voice: today, i will be your exercise and companion. _ are you ready to start? connecting with a headset worn by the participant, the now robot can pick up neural signals, which tell it how the user wishes to move, and can then mimic that intended movement and encourage the user. it's already been successfully trialled in austria. adherence is a real problem when it comes to exercising in the home and rehab because it's repetitive and it's long...long term, especially with stroke patients. one of the things we found was that the embodiment does actually encourage people to exercise more than just a screen. so this is the reason is to try and get people more motivated and then adhering to their exercise and then getting back to their daily living, which is what people ultimately want to do. jake had a stroke earlier this year and while he is making good progress, says technology like this could help.

to help your arm, just try and lift it as much as you can. and this person behind me, this robot... if this was in the ward, that would give me a motivational tool of how to do my upper limb, my front. i've noticed that he can bend down as well, but you can't really do that in a bed. following the completion of the successful trial, the hope is to run others here in scotland, and then perhaps one day, robotic coaches could be used in clinics across the country. robotic voice: well done. you have completed the set. great work. that was laura goodwin reporting. let's take a look at today's papers. various stories on the front pages today — but almost all of them feature a tribute to former england manager sven—goran eriksson. "don't be sorry, smile,

it's been fantastic" reads the front of the daily mirror — a reference to a comment he made in a new documentary about his life and career. the times leads with the headline "police have given up on punishing shoplifters". the paper says analysis of official figures shows that the majority of police forces did not issue a single penalty for shoplifting over the year to march. the home secretary has reportedly said that the shameful neglect of shoplifting must end. and the guardian leads on a story about what doctors have described as a "staggering" rise in anxiety among children. almost a,000 children are being referred to nhs mental health services in england per week for anxiety, according to figures. here on breakfast we only bring their news we are definitely sure about. this next story, is it

definitely or maybe? no one is speculating on windy union might be and when tickets might go on sale. let me explain. oasis fans will be hoping this morning to hear the news they've been waiting for, for years: that the legendary band are getting back together. brothers liam and noel gallagher have both teased an announcement at 8am this morning. formed in 1991, the group rose to fame with hits including wonderwall, don't look back in anger and live forever. in 199a, the band released their chart—topping album, definitely maybe, helping to kick off the britpop era and propel them to mega—stardom. in 1996, an incredible 2.5 million people applied for tickets to their two dates at knebworth festival. it's well documented that the brothers had a tough relationship, but in 2009 a backstage fight led to noel leaving the band,

and since then, fans have longed for a reunion. here's a look at some of their biggest hits. # maybe. # i don't really want to know. # how your garden grows. # cos i just want to fly.# nothing anybody does can be as big as oasis. not coldplay, not kasabian, not the arctic monkeys in this country, not u2, not any of them. it's as simple as that. # today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. # by now, you should've somehow realised what you're not to do. # i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now.# there's only so many, like, _ olive branches you can give someone. you know what i mean? without sort of going, "well, actually, i don't think he - really cares anymore." what do you miss about him? just being in a band, man. having a crack with him. about him? having a banter, just having a laugh

and just all that stuff. _ you know what i mean? but there you go. that's life, isn't it? # but don't look back in anger. # don't look back in anger. # i heard you say.# it's the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude. i don't have the same attitude as him. # at least not today.# the voice is an instrument. and it's the same thing with the bee gees. when you get... when you get two brothers singing together, it's something that you can't... it's unique. # ..you've been given. # if you don't get yours, i won't get mine as well.# is that what we are going to hear this morning at eight o'clock? i am excited. it could all be a massive let down. maybe they are going to rerelease the album with the gold

cover. they could also say they are going to do and then their minds. our culture correspondent charlotte gallagher is with us now. what is happening? we can almost say with complete — what is happening? we can almost say with complete certainty _ what is happening? we can almost say with complete certainty they _ what is happening? we can almost say with complete certainty they are - with complete certainty they are going back on the road, they are reforming. i do not think they would do it to fans, getting them excited and then letting them down. one fan said she had not slept when she was so excited, she was going to a till the announcement. it was 15 years since they last performed. if they reform, which looks like they will, they will almost certainly do shows in manchester. if they do not it will be like if the beatles reformed and they did not play liverpool. they are from manchester, linked to the city. the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham has been telling us what he thinks. it is manchester andy burnham has been telling us what he thinks.— telling us what he thinks. it is the news we have _

225 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze at the building close to dagenham yesterday. two people were taken to hospital. the fire service has said the building has known safety issues, and the role cladding played will form part of the investigation. and i lost everything. everything, everything. i have to take in from the spoon, to buy everything. to, with the... frightened i will be on the street. meanwhile, around 70 firefighters tackled another fire yesterday in blackwall in east london. a flat was alight on the 25th floor of the a5—storey tower block on biscayne avenue. the cause of the fire is not yet known. it's thought around a million people enjoyed carnival on the streets of notting hill yesterday. police said the vast majority said had come to celebrate, with a "minority of people using it as an opportunity to commit crime". the met made 230 arrests yesterday, and say there were five stabbings

the paris paralympics 202a get underway tomorrow. and ahead of the games we've been speaking to some of the london medal hopefuls. today is the turn of the paralympic gb swimming team. our reporter chris slegg has been speaking to brock whiston from romford. paris will be her paralympics debut. i love it. and for me there's no pressure, it's just something i enjoy doing, and along the way i've happened to become an elite athlete with the hard work i've put in. what is your aim for paris? is it about getting your best time, is it chasing gold medals? you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to go to a games and win a medal, so, yeah, i do wanta bit of the eiffel tower in my house. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and a very mild one already. and the temperature today is set to getjust a little bit warmer. sunshine, largely hazy.

there is a little bit of cloud around, especially first thing this morning. but it is still going to feel warm. we've got a southerly breeze, and temperatures today potentially up at around 2a or 25 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, plenty of sunshine ahead of it setting. then overnight tonight, it's largely dry and clear. there is a chance of some shallow mist developing by dawn tomorrow. the wind is light, the minimum temperature between 12 and 1a celsius. as we head into wednesday, again, plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. perhaps a little bit of high cloud turning those sunny spells hazy. but temperatures a little warmer still. we're looking at a maximum tomorrow of 27 celsius. as we head overnight wednesday into thursday, a cold front will start to move in from the west, and that's going to bring slightly fresher air for thursday, but still plenty of sunshine, and temperatures still 23 or even 2a celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and ben.

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. good morning. it isjust after good morning. it is just after half past six. with summer coming to a close, many parents will be looking ahead to the start of september, when children aged one months and over in england will be eligible for 15 hours of free childcare. nurseries up and down the country have been preparing for the new term. and ben is at one in preston this morning to see how it's going. i think he is in the story corner. morning. yeah, good morning. iam in the story corner with izzy and beth, setting up the nursery for the children coming this morning. nurseries like this one in preston have been preparing to offer these additional hours for some time. we were going to the details in a

once you've applied, you'll be given a code which you can then pass on to your officially registered nursery or childminder, who can then redeem it for government funding. childcare charity coram family and childcare estimates that the annual cost of full—time childcare — that's around 50 hours per week — on average, will cost parents over £15,000 in 202a. and to provide the additional free hours, the government estimates there will need to be a pretty big expansion in the nursery sector, something like 85,000 extra places and a0,000 extra trained staff by the end of 2025, because there is some further expansion of free hours planned as some further expansion of free hours planned as well. let's find out how the industry is gearing up. deborah here is the owner of this nursery. thank you for having us. how do you feel about the expansion, are you ready? tote having us. how do you feel about the expansion, are you ready?— expansion, are you ready? we are read , expansion, are you ready? we are ready. we — expansion, are you ready? we are ready. we are _ expansion, are you ready? we are ready, we are excited _ expansion, are you ready? we are

case of finding the right person. childcare is quite specific, hard work, early hours, half past seven to half past five every day, quite a long day, which means it is not for everybody. we have had some false starts where it has not worked out. now we are getting to the point where we have the right people and they are all in place. hearing from sarah and james it will really make a difference to them. deborah, thank you very much and i thank you for having us down here this morning. ifelt i should do my little bit to prepare things for this morning. and look what i find. i think these are modelled, sally and ben, on two rather well—known bbc breakfast weather presenters. uncanny. what do you reckon? i don't know what you're talking about. which is which?! i can't wait until all the kids arrive and see what ben does them. chaotic. it is so nice and calm and quiet. it won't stay like that.

it won't stay like that. it is 6:38am. john is here with the sport. reflecting this morning on the incredible life of sven—goran eriksson. yes, indeed. you get a sense with some of the tributes we will be hearing the next three moments, a sense of the high regard that sven—goran eriksson, the former england manager was holding. —— was held in. good morning. a huge number of tributes have been paid to sven goran eriksson, the former england manager, who's died at the age of 76. he took the top job in english football, the first non—british manager to do so, leading the team to the quarter—finals at three major tournaments during his five year spell between 2001 and 2006. injanuary, he revealed he had, at best, a year to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. amongst those paying tribute is the prince of wales, the patron of the football association. he said...

sven's former partner nanci del�*ollio said... while wayne rooney, who was handed his debut by sven aged just 17, said... well, david beckham spent some time with sven before he died, and posted this moving tribute to his former manager. "we laughed, we cried and we knew we were saying goodbye.

sven, thank you for always being the person you have always been, passionate, caring, calm, and a true gentleman. i will be forever grateful foryou making me your captain, but i will forever hold these last memories of this day with you and your family. thank you sven, and in your last words to me, it will be ok." goalkeeperjoe hart, who played for eriksson during his time as manchester city manager, speaking on the radio last night, said he was different from other managers and had a real love for the game. you couldn't not respect him, you couldn't not behave under him, you know. as chris was saying there, in that era of the hair—dryer, you didn't want to cross sven. but not because you were scared of him — because you didn't want to let the guy down. too young to appreciate him. too early in the game to appreciate that there are some beautiful people in this game who are part of the game because theyjust love everything about it, and they want everyone to be happy.

there was of course a huge amount of media intrusion during his time with england. but in a recent amazon documentary sven explained how he'd like to be remembered. i hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do. don't be sorry. smile. thank you for everything — coaches, players, the crowds. it's been fantastic. sven—goran eriksson speaking there before he died at the age of 76. the former us open champion emma raducanu is among the british players who start their campaign at flushing meadows later today. frustration though for british qualifierjan choinski, who played out a bit of an epic contest,

levelling this match at two sets all against roberto carbelles baena. but that was as close as he got, as he lost the deciding set. britain's harriet dart though, is through to the second round. meanwhile, novak djocovic opened with a win. the defending champion, fresh from winning a long—awaited olympic gold on the paris clay, made that his priority this year, but would love to add another slam to his collection. he beat radu albot. coco gauff launched the defence of her us open title with a straight sets victory over varvara grachea. she hit ten aces and saved eight break points to book her place in the second round. she was playing in the arthur ashe stadium, where she won her first grand slam title last year. she'll play tatjana maria of germany next. a busy day really for the brits all round, along with emma raducanu, katie boulter, jack draper and dan

evans also in action. emma raducanu playing this evening. lots to look forward to. thank you. now that the bank holiday weekend is over, the weather is getting really good! carol can tell us. getting really good! carolcan tell us. ., , ., getting really good! carolcantellus. ., , ., ., carol can tell us. that is not a forecast. _ carol can tell us. that is not a forecast. by _ carol can tell us. that is not a forecast, by the _ carol can tell us. that is not a forecast, by the way! - carol can tell us. that is not a forecast, by the way! good i carol can tell us. that is not a - forecast, by the way! good morning. we have got some heavy rain around this morning, but not so in nottinghamshire. a beautiful start to the day here. thank you to helen for sending this to us. what we have todayis for sending this to us. what we have today is the heavy rain across the north and west. following an already saturated ground. it is windy in the north—west and through the irish sea today. but warm in the south—east. this is where we have the skies and we will have the lion poz—mac share of sunshine. more to come through the course of the morning. following an already saturated ground. this could be problematic across parts of south—west scotland. it is this weather fronts linking slowly southwards as we go through the course of the day. a lot of dry

weather ahead. a lot of low cloud, market conditions, and heavy rain around it. behind it we see a return to sunshine and showers. strong winds in the north—west and through the irish sea. quite a blustery day generally. temperatures today peaking at about 26 degrees, somewhere in the south—eastern corner. 20 in belfast, 20, 21, 22 around the moray coast. this evening and overnight the weather front sinks south and bobs into an area of high pressure. it continues to weaken. towards the north and west a bit more cloud, also some rain, with overnight lows between ten and 1a or 15 degrees. here is the weather front for tomorrow. here is the ridge of high pressure. it will try to push eastwards. then we have another weather front coming into the north west. the south—eastern quarter will start off on a fine,

dry and sunny note. a week whether front still producing this band of cloud and some shauri outbreaks of rain. that moves east. behind it, brighter spells. the next weather front in the north and west introduces shauri outbreaks of rain. some of it will be thundery in western scotland and northern ireland. temperatures ranging from 15 in the north to 27, possibly 28 somewhere in the south—east. as we head from wednesday to thursday, a bit of a change. as this cold front moves away it turns fresher. a wind direction from the west. as you can see, the yellow colours replace the warm amber colours. temperatures will dip. we started off on thursday with a lot of dry weather. the weather front from the west moves east through the day with outbreaks of rain. thundery across the far north—east of scotland. these are the temperatures. they have dipped a

bit from the 27, 28 in the south—east, to 23, and about 18 in belfast. this is why we leave it to the professionals, carol. that is much more accurate than my terrible forecast. bless you, ben. j forecast. bless ou, ben. ~ fly—tipping is an issue that people up and down the country are trying to tackle, but one local council is taking a new approach by publicly shaming those who do it. in telford and wrekin, authorities are now publishing cctv footage of people dumping rubbish, and encouraging members of the public to come forward with information. joanne writtle has more. an eyesore in peaceful woodland. flytipping, a regular problem in this part of lightmoor in telford. across telford and wrekin, the council posts cctv online of people dumping rubbish, asking for the public�*s help so matters can be investigated further. the authority says it issued 180 fixed penalties in 12 months. i would say give us a name so we can investigate and see if that is the person, because, you know, these

people are causing a bit of a blight on our communities, and our own communities, and sometimes it's their own communities as well, and we need to make sure they know what they need to do to get rid of their waste, and also where, if needs be, we'll find them. according to government figures, there were a,300 cases of fly—tipping reported to telford and wrekin council last year, costing council taxpayers £250,000 in clear up costs. meanwhile, people living near skip lane in walsall are sick of fly flytippers. susan hogan has even confronted them. there was a white van, carrying a fridge freezer. a man and lady and a young man got out, popped it on the side of the road, and i said, "please don't leave that there, we live here. take it to somewhere that's appropriate, like a tip or something of that nature." the lady said, "sorry,

sorry, sorry." and i said, "well, sorry's not good enough. we need you to dispose of it properly." and what did they do? they put it back in the van and drove off. her neighbour, elliot richards, says rubbish is often dumped at the end of his drive, and once saw and reported someone too. we actually caught somebody here, and they were dumping garden waste in black bin bags, and itjust blew my mind. walsall council says it's clamping down. fly—tipping carries a fine of up to £20,000, and offenders can go to prison. joanne writtle, bbc news. more than 3,500 current and former staff of the fashion retailer next have won their six—year legal fight for equal pay, in a victory that's estimated to cost the company more than £30 million. it's the first equal pay claim against a national retailer to reach the final legal stage and secure a win, after a court found that next had indirectly discriminated against women. meghan owen has this report.

i still really don't believe it's happened. it's absolutely incredible. 22 years working for next, and a six year legal battle against it, helen is now one of the 3,500 retail workers to have won an equal pay claim against her employer. i've always believed in fairness, and it doesn't seem fair that years and years after the equal pay act came in, when i was actually at school, that women were still earning less than men for similar roles. and, i'm a pensioner now, and it's unbelievable that we've had to wait until now for someone to actually recognise that our role is as valuable as a similar role for a man. the tribunal ruled that next failed to prove that paying their store workers, 82% of whom are currently women, a lower basic hourly rate than warehouse workers, was not sex discrimination.

the claimants argued that the difference in basic hourly pay ranges from a0p to £3.13, although next disputes this range. on average, each retail worker has lost more than £6,000. their payout could cost next around £30 million. next is planning to appeal. there are key legal principles at stake here. they say that the tribunal rejected the majority of the claims, but they lost on the key terms that matter to the retail workers. lawyers representing the workers hope it could create wider industry change. you've got the big five supermarkets bringing similar claims, making similar arguments. they will be paying close attention. and the claimants, the supermarket workers in those cases, will be hugely encouraged. it hasn't been done on this scale, and in the private sector, before. it's brilliant. next has found itself on the wrong side of an equal pay battleground.

this ruling could open the door to further action against more retail giants. megan owen, bbc news. let's talk to elizabeth george, who represented the claimants. good morning. how big when is this? filth. morning. how big when is this? oh, it's bi , morning. how big when is this? oh, it's big. yeah- _ morning. how big when is this? oh, it's big. yeah- i— morning. how big when is this?

work is no less demanding. the law says when that applies you must pay the same unless there is a compelling business reason why. and crucially, that reason can't be sex discrimination. in this case it was found to be six were discrimination. —— sex. next said they paid the women less because the market rate was less. the market rate for men was less. the market rate for men was more. that's always been the case. we have overwhelmingly women in one market and overwhelmingly men, 80% of uk warehouse workers are men, 80% of uk warehouse workers are men, in the other market. if you are simply going to follow that pattern, you are overwhelming to be going to disadvantage the women, who will always gotta be worse off. you have to come up with a compelling business reason. it has to be reasonable. the tribunal said in this case the reason given is just not good enough. this case the reason given is 'ust not good enoughi this case the reason given is 'ust not good enough. next keen to point out the tribunal _ not good enough. next keen to point out the tribunal rejected _ not good enough. next keen to point out the tribunal rejected the - out the tribunal rejected the majority of the claims, particularly when it came to direct discrimination. so you won an

independentjob evaluation experts from acas helping them. they ruled emphatically this is equal work. in fact, it is a scoring process. the women over scored —— the women needed to show they were at least equal. it is a hugely moral victory, because once you have got that the burden shifts. as for next to explain why they were continuing to pay them on equally.— explain why they were continuing to pay them on equally. really good to talk to you- — pay them on equally. really good to talk to you. we'll _ pay them on equally. really good to talk to you. we'll keep _ pay them on equally. really good to talk to you. we'll keep an _ pay them on equally. really good to talk to you. we'll keep an eye - pay them on equally. really good to talk to you. we'll keep an eye on . talk to you. we'll keep an eye on what happens next. thank you. coming up, i have the paralympics starting in paris tomorrow, we will be taking a look at the incredible career of dame sarah storey, the most decorated british paralympian of all time, who is gearing up for her ninth game is. we will also be joined by golden couple neil psyche and lora fachie, live from the french capital. can't wait for that. it is come around really quickly. we will talk about that later. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. residents evacuated after a fire ripped through a block of flats in east london yesterday say they've lost everything — with around 100 people now homeless. a major incident was declared by the fire service. 225 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze at the builidng close to dagenham yesterday. two people were taken to hospital. the fire service has said the building has "known" safety issues, and the role cladding played will form part of the investigation. it's terrible what happened. and i lost everything. everything, everything. i have to take in from the spoon, to buy everything. to, with the... frightened i will be on the street. meanwhile, around 70 firefighters tackled another fire yesterday in blackwall in east london. a flat was alight on the 25th floor of the a5—storey

tower block on biscayne avenue. the cause of the fire is not yet known. it's thought around a million people enjoyed carnival on the streets of notting hill yesterday, the vast majority of whom police said had come "to celebrate" with a "minority of people using it as an opportunity to commit crime". the met made 230 arrests yesterday and say there were five stabbings. the paralympics get under way tomorrow. ahead of the games, we've been speaking to some of london's medal hopefuls. today is the turn of the paralympic gb swimming team. our reporter chris slegg has been speaking to brock whiston from romford. paris will be her paralympics debut. i love it. and for me there's no pressure, it's just something i enjoy doing, and along the way i've happened to become an elite athlete with the hard work i've put in. what is your aim for paris? is it about getting your best time, is it chasing gold medals? you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to go to a games and win a medal, so,

yeah, i do wanta bit of the eiffel tower in my house. let's take a look at the tubes now. now on to the weather with kate. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and a very mild one already. and the temperature today is set to getjust a little bit warmer. sunshine, largely hazy. there is a little bit of cloud around, especially first thing this morning. but it is still going to feel warm. we've got a southerly breeze, and temperatures today potentially up at around 2a or 25 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, plenty of sunshine ahead of it setting. then overnight tonight, it's largely dry and clear. there is a chance of some shallow mist developing by dawn tomorrow. the wind is light, the minimum temperature between 12 and 1a celsius. as we head into wednesday, again, plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. perhaps a little bit of high cloud turning those sunny spells hazy. but temperatures a little warmer still. we're looking at a maximum tomorrow of 27 celsius.

as we head overnight wednesday into thursday, a cold front will start to move in from the west, and that's going to bring slightly fresher air for thursday, but still plenty of sunshine, and temperatures still 23 or even 2a celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now, it's back to sally and ben. good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today... the prime minister says he wants to reverse what he calls a "decade of decline", in a speech to mark 50 days in downing street. investigators are trying to find out whether cladding played a part in a huge fire at a tower block in east london. # you gotta roll with it. # you gotta take your time.#

what's the story? could the wait be over for oasis fans hoping for a reunion? we'll find out at eight o'clock. good morning. some heavy rain across the north and west this morning. that is slipping south and east. behind it sunshine and blustery showers. ahead header that largely dry and warm. all the details later in the programme. it's tuesday, the 27th of august. the prime minister will promise to reverse a "decade of decline" when he delivers a speech from downing street later. he'll also say his government will "root out 1a years of rot" under the conservatives. the tories have dismissed the speech as a "performative" attempt to distract the public from promises sir keir starmer never had any intention of keeping. our political correspondent ben wright has more. sir keir starmer will say the hatred and division displayed in this summer's riots betrayed

a sickness in society. but he will contrast the cynical conflict of populism with the people who stood up against it and cleared up their communities. he'll compare his task as prime minister with theirs in a speech that will set out the scale of the challenge facing his government. 50 people sir keir starmer met during the election campaign, from small business owners to firefighters, have been invited to the garden in downing street to hear the prime minister promise a government of service. he is expected to say rooting out what he'll call 1a years of rot under the conservatives will take hard work and time. things will get worse before they get better. the frankly gloomy message echoes the chancellor's statement injuly, in which she warned the public finances were dire and said the government had inherited a mess that would require difficult decisions to fix. she will deliver a budget in october, which is likely to mean tax rises for some. and her plan to restrict winter fuel payments has

prompted calls for a rethink from some labour mps and opposition parties too. the labour government has made a number of promises. it has promised to focus on economic growth, but my argument would be that it cannot do that at the expense of all the other things, including the safety net that the most vulnerable in our society, such as pensioners, need this winter. parliament is back next week and sir keir starmer will say it won't be business as usual. the conservatives have dismissed the speech as a performative attempt to distract the public from promises they claim sir keir starmer never had any intention of keeping. but the prime minister hopes that by spelling out bluntly how tough things are, voters will be on board. ben wright, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, the prime minister is trying to set out his stall but he's under pressure over support

for pensioners, isn't he? quite a lot is the short answer. there is a lot of concern in the labour party, a lot of concern among charities about that decision to scrap winter fuel payments and only give winter fuel payments to the poorest pensioners. one thing the treasury is looking at to mitigate the impact is extending the hardship fund in england. that scheme allows local councils to hand out cash to people struggling with the cost of living. it was due to come to an end at the end of september. the treasury is looking at the possibility of extending that longer. watch this space on that one. the other thing keir starmer is trying to do today is to draw a line under the last government, saying this government will act

differently, backing the service of working people, as he is putting it. an example, it has emerged the government has scrapped a £a0 million helicopter contract for what has been described as a vip helicopter service for the prime minister commit used by rishi sunak under his administration, scrapped by the new prime minister, being seen as a waste of money. an attempt to draw a line under the last government that also keir starmer wants to try to persuade everyone he is being realistic. tough choices to come, tough decisions to come. that is rolling the pips, to use westminsterjargon folsom pretty difficult announcements we are likely to see in the next few weeks and months. keir starmer trying to get on the front foot and saying this is why we are doing it. reporting live from westminster this morning. now more of the day's news. russia has targeted

ukraine with another wave of missile and drone attacks, a day after one of its biggest air attacks of the war so far. at least seven people were killed and dozens wounded — it's after a british national was killed in a strike at a hotel on saturday. our reporter abdujalil abdurasulov joins us now from kyiv. good morning to you. what has the reaction being in the ukrainian capital? well, the air raid siren kept _ ukrainian capital? well, the air raid siren kept going _ ukrainian capital? well, the air raid siren kept going off - ukrainian capital? well, the air raid siren kept going off across| raid siren kept going off across ukraine all night and this morning as well. explosions were heard in a number of cities, including in the kyiv region as well. one missile hit a hotel in a city killing at least according to local authorities. five people were injured and two more are still missing. rescue workers continued to remove the rubble and searching for the missing people.

during a drone attack in south ukraine, two people have been killed at least, according to the authorities. we are getting reports from the ukrainian air force saying that russian drones are still in the air as we that russian drones are still in the airas we speak that russian drones are still in the air as we speak and they are threatening northern and southern regions of ukraine, where the air raid alert is still on. this threat of more attacks from drones and missiles is still on. we may have more incidents and attacks later today and we will report about it. thank you now, for live in the ukrainian capital, kyiv. the metropolitan police say five people were stabbed on the final day of the notting hill carnival. two of the victims are in a life—threatening condition, while a 32—year—old woman who was stabbed on sunday also remains in critical condition. our reporterjoe inwood joins us now from scotland yard. joe, what more can you tell us?

there were a total of eight stabbings, we understand, at the notting hill carnival over the course of the two days, sunday and monday. five yesterday in three today. three of the people are in a critical condition. the women stabbed on saturday was a mother with a young child. 230 arrests in with a young child. 230 arrests in total yesterday, 39 full possession total yesterday, 39 full possession of a weapon. in a statement, it has of a weapon. in a statement, it has been said we are tired of saying the been said we are tired of saying the same words every year. tired of same words every year. tired of telling families their loved ones telling families their loved ones are seriously injured or worse. we are seriously injured or worse. we are seriously injured or worse. we are tired of seeing crime scenes at are seriously injured or worse. we are tired of seeing crime scenes at carnival. this is the second biggest carnival. this is the second biggest street party in the world, the street party in the world, the biggest one in europe. police say biggest one in europe. police say the vast majority of people, nearly the vast majority of people, nearly a million over the last two days, a million over the last two days, came to have a good time. it is a came to have a good time. it is a huge celebration of west indian, huge celebration of west indian, caribbean culture. the vast majority caribbean culture. the vast majority

of people were having a in of people were having a party very successfully enjoying themselves. it did come at a significant cost to a small number of people. he. did come at a significant cost to a small number of people.- did come at a significant cost to a small number of people.

about the cladding, what... how long it's taken, that kind of thing as well. i will be asking very reaching questions and i will be on that straight away. residents say they were first told there were fire safety concerns about the building in 2020 after a survey. two years later, they wrote to a house of commons committee, saying the stress on leaseholders living in unsafe, unsellable flats with increasing service charges for well over three years is considerable. injuly last year, the council gave planning permission for dangerous cladding to be removed. that work was ongoing when the fire started. planning documents suggest the top floors had a type of laminated wood cladding called hpl. we don't know how much of it had been taken down when the fire started, but we do know hpl has failed fire safety tests similar to this not recently, nearly 25 years ago.

yet the tests were kept confidential. hpl was used on hundreds of buildings like this one in chelmsford. why did the building industry choose materials known to be a fire risk? well, that's one of the big questions being considered by the inquiry into the fire which destroyed grenfell, where 72 people died. the inquiry�*s final report will be published next week. and tom joins us from dagenham. morning to you. any further indications about what caused this fire? , ., , ., ., fire? the priority at the moment a- ears fire? the priority at the moment appears to _ fire? the priority at the moment appears to be — fire? the priority at the moment appears to be to _ fire? the priority at the moment appears to be to make _ fire? the priority at the moment appears to be to make the - fire? the priority at the moment i appears to be to make the building safe. they are still working on pumping tonnes of water into the roof of the building, feeding it from houses all the way around this area, snaking down roads as far as i can see. as you say, the

investigation led by the fire brigade initially will take over after that. they will obviously want to know the fire. the building work to know the fire. the building work to remove the flammable cladding because of the fire? they gave people smoke hoods to put over their heads to escape and longer ladders were used as well. they did know the flammable cladding was there and it was being removed. i think they will be looking at the management of the building in particular while the cladding was fair, was enough done to make sure the residents were safe to make sure the residents were safe to live there in the months before it was removed? they will also look at fire alarms. people told us here yesterday they tried to get my alarms to work but they didn't seem to go well. there were questions that the stat then a series of enforcement notices placed on the

building and the owners and managers of the building last year. there will be questions about why those notifications which handle issues to do with fire safety were required. a lot to investigate. for now, it is about making this building safe. four more people have been arrested in connection with a fire that killed a woman and her three young children in bradford last week. west yorkshire police say the family's home was deliberately set alight in the early hours. two men are being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. two other people were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. the un says that new israeli evacuation orders in gaza have dealt a serious blow to its aid afforts, sending humanitarian workers fleeing from its operations centre. meanwhile, violence has escalated in the occupied west bank, where medics say one palestinian was shot dead by an israeli settler and five others were killed in an israeli air strike. prices in shops are falling for the first time

in nearly three years. the british retail consortium says shop prices this month were nought—point—three percent lower than a year earlier. it's thought retailers have been cutting prices to shift summer stock, especially forfashion and household goods. everybody had their coats on and their brollies up in those pictures. they need to band today. morning. morning to you. we have some heavy rain at the moment across the north and west. not a particularly cold start to the day. the temperature in edinburgh at the moment is 18 degrees, 17 in southampton, 16 in manchester and in aberdeenshire it is 13. this time yesterday in aboyne it was lower. you can see the rain in the north and the west. rain

falling on already saturated ground and it is moving south—east. behind it in scotland and northern ireland we will see the return to bright spells, sunny intervals and showers. windy in the irish sea. when in england and wales and south—west england. moving to the midlands and lincolnshire, east anglia and the far south as we hang onto the dry and warm conditions. this evening and warm conditions. this evening and overnight the weather front continues to push south. it is bumping into high pressure. it is weakening all the time. some chalice coming on across the north and the west. it will not be a cold night. ten to 1a being the overnight lows. tomorrow the south—east is favoured for a fair bit of sunshine to start the day. it will turn hazy through the day. it will turn hazy through the day. it will turn hazy through the day. this weather front produces bigger cloud. the odd spot of rain in it. moving east. some heavy rain across parts of scotland and

northern ireland which could also be thundery. the temperatures tomorrow could get up to about 26, 27, possibly 28 degrees somewhere in the south—east. generally we are looking 15 to 22. south-east. generally we are looking 15 to 22. ., ~ _, extreme tiredness, brain fog and insomnia are just some of the symptoms associated with me or chronic fatigue syndrome. the illness can be triggered by covid—19 and is almost indistinguishable to long covid. although there are no official figures, the charity, action for me, estimates 250,000 people are affected in the uk, with many saying they feel the illness isn't taken seriously. campaigners say more needs to be done to understand the condition. our correspondent sophie long went to meet some of those living with it. we were incredibly happy. i mean, we werejust in love. we got married, we had a lovely wedding. it was the summer. it was the hottest day of the year, i think. a lovely wedding in a pub with a nice beer garden.

and we went on honeymoon. we had a lovely time. james was loving his job. he was kind of, you know, he was a big runner. i was loving work. i work in the humanitarian sector. i was working then with the red cross. i was flying all over the world. we just had a very, very busy, very full, happy life. the happy life that karen and her husband james once had fundamentally changed when they both contracted long covid, which developed into me. while karen has managed to recover enough to now work part time, james's condition has become more and more severe. we can't have a conversation. i can't give him a hug. i can't sit with him and hold his hand. it's just... there's just a life that we had before, which hasjust gone. and there's a grief that that comes with that, that is just taking us both a lot of time to be able to process and kind of work through properly.

when was the last time you heard his voice? i think over a year ago. yeah, it's been over a year now and i miss it. yeah, i miss his voice. i miss his laugh. imiss... yeah, ijust miss everything about him really. karen says while some doctors have been empathetic, others haven't. when he was having very bad difficulties, swallowing, to the point that i was worried that he might end up in hospital because he wasn't getting the hydration. i sort of spoke to a doctor on the phone and, i just really vividly remember them saying, "well, is it that he can't drink or is it that he doesn't want to?" and i think... like, none of these things i think feel that bad, perhaps on their own when you're listening to them but it's the accumulation really, when you're just kind of constantly, constantly having those kind of interactions with healthcare. it just. .. it wears you down. you're constantly worried that you're going to be disbelieved or dismissed. many others have had

a similar experience. and so while karen does her best to look afterjames with the help of a carer, she's launched a campaign called there for me, calling for the government to take the conditions seriously and ensure patients will be believed. rowing was una's life. after years of dedication, she was selected for the tokyo olympics, but then she contracted covid—19. for months, i couldn't believe that a mild infection like i was. it was so mild the initial cold could lead to this ongoing, all these ongoing health problems. so when i finally realised, ok, this is not going away, and we made the decision that i was not going to try and get reselected for the postponed olympics, it was completely devastating. i couldn't believe it was happening. yeah, this is mine. quite dusty as you can see. una spent a year and a half out of sport trying to get better.

when she was well enough to train again, she quickly suffered a devastating relapse and was forced to retire. her boat left to gather dust. yeah. i mean, it's sad. there's like this grief. this is a life not lived. as a professional sportsperson, her condition was taken seriously. like, i have data in a way that other people don't. like, i have training scores. and when i sit on a rowing machine, it's obvious that there's something wrong with me. and so even if they don't have a blood test that can find what's wrong with me, they know there is something. whereas most people don't have that right. you don't... you don't have scores of like, before and after. now she works for oxford university researching the impact and treatment of chronic fatigue. as someone with long covid, ifeel very strongly that if we had done more to understand what is happening in people with me, um, we would be in a much better place now to deal with all these people who have long covid.

and many of these people with long covid are also developing me. by one estimate, it's 50% of people with long covid have me. and just the broader historical context is that we don't understand infection associated chronic conditions, which is the long term effects of... the long term health effects of viruses on people's bodies. and a huge part of that is our neglect of me. what karen fears most is that james could deteriorate further and be hospitalised. there's just so much about this disease in itself that's terrifying. um...but having to be scared that the nhs isn't going to be there for you when you end up in the most extreme situation, it's just... yeah, it's just terrifying. it's... i think it's... i can't think of many other diseases

where the more severe your symptoms are, the worse your care is, the way we see with me. we're joined now by consultant respitorary physician, dr binita kane and retired specialist me/cfs physician, dr william weir. make that link for us between long covid and me. how closely linked are they? covid and me. how closely linked are the ? , , , covid and me. how closely linked are the ? , ., , . , covid and me. how closely linked are the? , ~' they? they are very closely linked. lona they? they are very closely linked. long covid — they? they are very closely linked. long covid is _ they? they are very closely linked. long covid is the _ they? they are very closely linked. long covid is the remnants - they? they are very closely linked. long covid is the remnants of - they? they are very closely linked. long covid is the remnants of an i long covid is the remnants of an infection which has caused me. that is well known to be treated by a range of different infections, right the way through from epstein—barr virus to some malaria infections and even malaria i have seen in one case with one patient. the common

years ago. when it comes to defining this physical basis, there are plenty of studies which confirm that. you can look at the spinal fluid in these patients and find evidence of an inflammatory disorder. you can do what are positron emission tomography on the brains of these people and show areas of information within the brain. this has nothing to do with a psychological disorder. this is a physical disorder, definable with these scientific approaches. gieeh these scientific approaches. given eve hint these scientific approaches. given everything we _ these scientific approaches. given everything we have _ these scientific approaches. given everything we have heard, - these scientific approaches. given everything we have heard, why is me so misunderstood? so everything we have heard, why is me so misunderstood?— so misunderstood? so sobering to watch the stories _ so misunderstood? so sobering to watch the stories every _ so misunderstood? so sobering to watch the stories every time. - so misunderstood? so sobering to watch the stories every time. i - so misunderstood? so sobering to i watch the stories every time. i work closely— watch the stories every time. i work closely with — watch the stories every time. i work closely with charities and see many people _ closely with charities and see many people suffering. when you look back through _ people suffering. when you look back through history of medicine, it is full of— through history of medicine, it is full of examples like this. when you look asthma, cancer, stomach ulcers. they were _

often so depleted and energy that they can only whisper, as we have heard earlier in the programme. and they need more care than practically any other illness that i have encountered in the past because these patients, as i say, they are so weak that they need a lot of attention in that respect. the other situation which needs to be recognised is that they are often hypersensitive to sound and light, in a way reminiscent of patients i remember with meningitis, who needed to be nursed inside rims with the curtains drawn. —— in side rooms. any additional sound or light from

were called to tackle another fire in east london yesterday — this time in a a5 storey tower block in blackwall. a flat was alight on the 25th floor of the a5—storey tower block. no one was hurt. it's thought around a million people enjoyed carnival on the streets of notting hill yesterday, the vast majority of whom police said had come to celebrate, with a minority of people using it as an opportunity to commit crime. the met made 230 arrests yesterday and say there were five stabbings. the paralympics get underway tomorrow. ahead of the games we've been speaking to some of london's medal hopefuls. today is the turn of the paralympic gb swimming team. our reporter chris slegg has been speaking to brock whiston from romford. paris will be her paralympics debut. i swim because i love it. and for me there's no pressure, it's just something i enjoy doing, and along the way i've happened to become an elite athlete with the hard work i've put in.

what is your aim for paris? is it about getting your best time, is it chasing gold medals? you'd be lying if you said you didn't want to go to a games and win a medal, so, yeah, i do wanta bit of the eiffel tower in my house. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and a very mild one already. and the temperature today is set to getjust a little bit warmer. sunshine, largely hazy. there is a little bit of cloud around, especially first thing this morning. but it is still going to feel warm. we've got a southerly breeze, and temperatures today potentially up at around 2a or 25 celsius. now, as we head into the evening, plenty of sunshine ahead of it setting. then overnight tonight, it's largely dry and clear. there is a chance of some shallow mist developing by dawn tomorrow. the wind is light, the minimum temperature between 12 and 1a celsius. as we head into wednesday, again, plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. perhaps a little bit

of high cloud turning those sunny spells hazy. but temperatures a little warmer still. we're looking at a maximum tomorrow of 27 celsius. as we head overnight wednesday into thursday, a cold front will start to move in from the west, and that's going to bring slightly fresher air for thursday, but still plenty of sunshine, and temperatures still 23 or even 2a celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now it's back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. good morning. it is 26 minutes to eight. the prime minister is expected to deliver a speech later this morning, saying it will not be business as usual when parliament returns next week. it comes as his government faces criticism over plans to raise taxes and cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners. let's speak now to labour party

chair, ellie reeves. morning to you. so, are things going to get worse before they get better? if they get better —— if they get better! good morning. the prime minister will use his speech this morning to talk about the need to fix the foundations. we have inherited a financial black hole from the previous government. that requires top choices. so, you know, it's really important that the prime minister is honest with the public about the scale of the challenge. when we got into governmentjust a few weeks ago, we discovered that there was a 22 billion black hole in there was a 22 billion black hole in the country's finances. it is that which has led to that really tough decision around the winter fuel allowance. we didn't want to be in a position where we had to make that decision. but because of the state of the finances we were left with,

it was a decision that had to be made. �* ., ,., ,., it was a decision that had to be made. �* ., i. ., ., made. but also, you are now in government. — made. but also, you are now in government, you _ made. but also, you are now in government, you have - made. but also, you are now in government, you have the i made. but also, you are now in i government, you have the power to make choices, and this government has chosen to spend on public sector pay, and now you might be able to say that as a result pensioners are suffering? say that as a result pensioners are sufferin: ? ~ �* ., suffering? well, we've had industrial _ suffering? well, we've had industrial disputes - suffering? well, we've had industrial disputes that i suffering? well, we've had. industrial disputes that have suffering? well, we've had i industrial disputes that have gone on for a long time, that the previous government didn't have the appetite to resolve. that meant people couldn't get to work on the train, orthey people couldn't get to work on the train, or they couldn't get the hospital appointment that they needed. it's also important to note that with the pay review bodies, the previous government didn't factor in anything around affordability. again, something we inherited from the previous government. but the winter fuel allowance, it is important to remember that pensioners in receipt of pension credit will still get the winter fuel allowance. there is something like 900,000 pensioners eligible for pension credit that aren't currently

receiving it. so, we want to make sure that everybody who is entitled to that benefit gets it, and in turn they would still go to the winter fuel allowance. they would still go to the winter fuelallowance. it's they would still go to the winter fuel allowance. it's a really difficult and tough decision. but we saw what happened when the previous government lost control of the country's finances. that liz truss mini budget. it crashed the economy, it sent interest rates spiralling. it had a huge impact on families, and businesses. we have to be honest with the public. we can't have a repeat of that, which is why it is incredibly important we fix the foundations and we don't have the losing control of the country's finances we saw previously. again, i would say this _ finances we saw previously. again, i would say this is _ finances we saw previously. again, i would say this is a _ finances we saw previously. again, i would say this is a choice _ finances we saw previously. again, i would say this is a choice you i finances we saw previously. again, i would say this is a choice you have l would say this is a choice you have made. you have chosen that pensioners will suffer, and chosen to put the money somewhere else? well, pensioners in receipt of pension credit will still get of the winter fuel allowance. it's not pension credit will still get of the winterfuel allowance. it's not a decision we wanted to take. it is a

decision we wanted to take. it is a decision we wanted to take. it is a decision we had to take to keep control of the country's finances and avoid a return to what happened after that mini budget that crashed the economy because it included unfunded spending commitments. pensioners will still get the triple lock on their pension. pensioners that receive pension credit will still get the winter fuel allowance. we have got an ambitious programme to insulator the coldest homes, which will benefit many pensioners as well. these are tough choices but they are tough choices because of they are tough choices because of the state of the country has been left in after 1a years of conservative government. 50 conservative government. so pensioners who might be on £12,000 are going to lose out, they are going to lose money, they're going to need to find that extra money from somewhere else. do you think £12,000 is enough to manage on? look, this is top choices, this is top choices because of the £22

billion black hole in the country's finances. we didn't want to be in this position. we didn't want to have to make these choices. we are making them because of that black hole in the country's finances. if we did nothing at all, then the risk would be exactly the same as what happened after that mini budget from liz truss. the markets would crash, interest rates would go skyrocketing again. people are still paying the price of that mini budget in their mortgage repayments. and i don't think your viewers, families and businesses, would thank us if we allowed that to happen again. so it is a tough choice. and we know how difficult these choices are and the impact of them. but we need to make sure that we look after our country's finances. brute sure that we look after our country's finances. we know there have been concerns _ country's finances. we know there have been concerns raised - have been concerns raised by members of your own party. the director of the age uk has described the decision as reckless and wrong. what

would you say to that?— would you say to that? look, it is difficult. would you say to that? look, it is difficult- it _ would you say to that? look, it is difficult. it is— would you say to that? look, it is difficult. it is a _ would you say to that? look, it is difficult. it is a difficult _ difficult. it is a difficult decision, it's one we didn't have to be in a position to have to make. but we won't play hard and loose with the country's finances. we know the consequences of that. families and businesses are still paying the price of that. it's a really difficult decision. a really tough decision. but when the prime minister makes his speech today, he will talk about those tough choices. under the last government we saw sticking plaster politics, papering over the cracks without dealing with the foundations. things will be different under this labour government. people voted for change just eight weeks ago. and we were honest with the public in that general election campaign about the tough choices and the estate of our public services and of the finances of the country. and it's important that we are honest with the public

about the difficulties and what we have inherited. you about the difficulties and what we have inherited.— have inherited. you say you were honest during — have inherited. you say you were honest during that _ have inherited. you say you were honest during that campaign. in | have inherited. you say you were i honest during that campaign. in may, keir starmer urged the conservatives to rule out scrapping winter fuel payments. now he is in power he seems to have changed his mind? itruiheh seems to have changed his mind? when we not into seems to have changed his mind? when we got into government _ seems to have changed his mind? w121 we got into governmentjust eight weeks ago, one of the first things that the chancellor did was an audit of the country's finances. that is what revealed the 22 billion black hole. the obr, the office for budget responsibility, didn't know about this overspend. in the first quarter of this financial year, the overspend was something like £5 billion, which is unprecedented. we need to get a firm grip of this. because if we don't we'll see a return of what happened when the previous government lost control of the country's finances.— the country's finances. thank you very much- _

the country's finances. thank you very much- 19 _ the country's finances. thank you very much. 19 minutes _ the country's finances. thank you very much. 19 minutes to - the country's finances. thank you very much. 19 minutes to aide. i the country's finances. thank you i very much. 19 minutes to aide. not long to wait. but what for? very good point. we don't quite know what we are waiting for. but we think we know. fifteen years since oasis split, fans of the gallagher brothers are eagerly hoping that a reunion could finally be on the cards, as the band are expected to make an announcement in half an hour's time. -- 19 —— 19 minutes' time. with rumours of possible shows in london and manchester, we've been speaking to mayor of greater manchester and oasis fan, andy burnham, about what he makes of it. well, it's the news we've all been waiting for. it promises to be a massive day for manchester. but you know what? it would be the most liberal and liam thing together of one of them woke up this morning and decided it had a change of heart. i really, really hope this doesn't happen. it feels like this time it is going to come together. and as i said, it

is going to be huge for our city region. is going to be huge for our city reuion. , ~ is going to be huge for our city reuion. ., ,, ., ., ., , region. talk to me about what this means for manchester, _ region. talk to me about what this means for manchester, and i region. talk to me about what this means for manchester, and what i region. talk to me about what this | means for manchester, and what it means for manchester, and what it means aren't only for people here, but this city as a whole?— but this city as a whole? well, it's 'ust auoin but this city as a whole? well, it's just going to _ but this city as a whole? well, it's just going to be — but this city as a whole? well, it's just going to be one _ but this city as a whole? well, it's just going to be one of _ but this city as a whole? well, it's just going to be one of the i but this city as a whole? well, it's| just going to be one of the biggest things that we will have seen in recent times. manchester is having a moment right now. but this development will take us to the next level. the eyes of the world will be on manchester in 2025. because of this, everybody will be talking about or celebrating all things to do with the city. it is just going to be the place to be. as i say, we are already in a great moment, but this will make it even better. i'm pleased for the generation and never got to see them, never got to see them live. this is a big thing for them live. this is a big thing for them because a have been the soundtrack to their lives. they are the ultimate british guitar band. and for that generation to see them perform live, well, that's

absolutely brilliant. by far the most important gallagher, is peggy gallagher. she gets to see her sons on stage again, which willjust be brilliant for her. on stage again, which will 'ust be brilliant for heni on stage again, which will 'ust be brilliant for her. manchester has a brilliant for her. manchester has a brilliant legacy — brilliant for her. manchester has a brilliant legacy of _ brilliant for her. manchester has a brilliant legacy of musical - brilliant for her. manchester has a brilliant legacy of musical greats, | brilliant legacy of musical greats, doesn't it? where would you put oasis in that range of talent that this city has produced? 1 oasis in that range of talent that this city has produced?— oasis in that range of talent that this city has produced? i mean, we could no this city has produced? i mean, we could go through _ this city has produced? i mean, we could go through them, _ this city has produced? i mean, we could go through them, couldn't i this city has produced? i mean, we i could go through them, couldn't we? i was watching johnny marr playing smiths songs in wythenshawe park on saturday night. that was phenomenal. new order came on after and they probably, i would say, the manchester band who i would love to most and kind of feel that they've been relevant through the generations. but probably oasis became the ultimate. they draw and all that heritage through the 805, particularly the stone roses, and then kind of brought it all together, and have created the music that has had the most impact around the world. in terms of impact you

would absolutely say oasis. and i just hope actually, the 2025 becomes a moment when we can celebrate the new as well. manchester sometimes perhaps has a tendency to talk about its past glories. but i think the great thing about the big bands of the past playing now is that they give it a spotlight to the up—and—coming manchester bands. and i'm sure noel and liam will take this opportunity to give them a leg up this opportunity to give them a leg up as well. when bands reforming the way that we are expecting oasis to announce this morning, they opened that back catalogue up to a whole new generation of fans. imagine a fan who has never heard of oasis, and they are going to be introduced to them for the first time, may be at a concert in manchester next year. how would you describe oasis? and also, what should they be looking out for? i would describe them as the ultimate british guitar band. that's

what they are, aren't they? they create a problem, what you might call rock and roll. this is music that gets you going. and you can just picture the scenes, can't you? those crowds of bouncing people singing every word. they have provided the soundtrack to many people's lives. they have been huge, to be honest. to see them back together will be absolutely fantastic. notjust for us. i have heard not london nightlife is struggling somewhat. i'm a little bit proud that two lads from manchester are giving london a lift. and if that record run of dates will come —— comes to fruition, it will make a big difference to the city. i know you are a fan. you've been known to perform some of their songs when you have been out and about. # i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do, but you know. favourite track?— the way i do, but you know.

favourite track? one that i have performed _ favourite track? one that i have performed at — favourite track? one that i have performed at my _ favourite track? one that i have performed at my 50th, - favourite track? one that i have performed at my 50th, half- favourite track? one that i have performed at my 50th, half the | favourite track? one that i have i performed at my 50th, half the world away, some might say it is not the biggest blockbuster of the oasis songs, but it is something of a northwest anthem. i think anybody who grew up here would relate to it. live forever, there are so many. you could go on, couldn't you? people will be doing this today. lots of people around the country will be going through that back catalogue and picking out the ones they love the most. but such a catalogue to choose from. and i actuallyjust think this is going to be a magnificent moment for british music. let's celebrate this industry, let's use 2025 to do that. music is one of the things that britain still does better than any other country in the world, in my view. but we don't seem to celebrate this industry as much as we should. let's take this moment, reflect on what british music means to us, celebrated. but as i said before, use it to bring on the new as well.

andy burnham, really good to talk to you this morning. we will wait and see what happens at eight o'clock. thank you, good to talk to. cheers, thank you- — thank you, good to talk to. cheers, thank you- andy — thank you, good to talk to. cheers, thank you. andy burnham - thank you, good to talk to. cheers, thank you. andy burnham talking i thank you, good to talk to. cheers, | thank you. andy burnham talking to me earlier. eight o'clock, 13 minutes from now, we will find out and we will let you know what that news is. good, bad, indifferent, it better notjust be a new album. no, it can't be. it has got to be tour dates. 30 years since that debut album this year. yea r. we year. we will be telling you and about, in a few minutes' time. tributes have been paid to the former england manager sven goran eriksson, who's died at the age of 76. he revealed injanuary that he had "at best" a year to live, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. during his five—year spell managing the three lions, between 2001 and 2006, he lead the team to quarterfinals at three major tournaments. our sports reporter ben croucher has more. a true gentleman of the game, said prince william,

struck by his charisma and passion. keir starmer said he broughtjoy to so many. just some of the reflections on sven—goran eriksson. behind the spectacles and the smile, there was a swede with steel. the first foreign manager to take charge of england, they were highs... oh, this is getting better and better and better! ..and lows. if you take all the defeats i had in my life, that was the hardest one. i was sure, and i think all the players were sure, that the semifinal and final were possible. though his managerial style was questioned, his personal life scrutinised, he carried on calm and courteous. you didn't want to cross sven, but not because you were scared of him, because you didn't want to let the guy down. he didn't really ask for a whole lot from us as people other thanjust show respect, just respect. wayne rooney called him a special man. michael owen said he was one

of the very best, a man who will be missed by everyone in the world of football. a great person, i will be forever grateful to him, said peter crouch, remembering a forgiving but fallible man. my wife, ex—wife, was, can't you do something else? away every weekend and never see the children. and that's true. but, football... but as his health deteriorated and he retired to acquire a family life, football gave him one final farewell, fulfilling a boyhood dream, managing liverpool in the legends match at anfield in march, an occasion he described as absolutely beautiful. he had a great career, very successful manager. he got really emotional, you know, at the end of the game, you could see, you know, when we did a lap of honour, i was lucky enough to be by him. and again, he kept on saying,

this is so special. perhaps it is a man who delivered maybe the most iconic moment of eriksson's career who summed up his life best. david beckham described him as passionate, caring and a true gent. sven's final words to his former captain? it'll be ok. and we will be talking a little bit more about sven later in the programme. lots of amazing tributes. such lovely stories. hearing more about him than i think we knew. the point was made there. people didn't want to disappoint. not frightened of him, you didn't want to let him down. lovely sentiments, sven—goran eriksson. the paralympics opening ceremony will take place tomorrow, as paris once again becomes the backdrop for some of the world's most talented athletes to compete for a coveted gold medal. the event will kickstart 11 days of sports, welcoming thousands of spectators and para—athletes to the city — including britain's most decorated paralympian dame sarah storey. our sports reporterjoe lynskey

has been speaking to her, ahead of her ninth time competing at the games. paris 202a, for dame sarah storey the next remarkable chapter. at a6 years old, this will be her ninth paralympics. a journey that started in 1992 has already led to history. across two sports, and more than 30 years, the three golds she won in tokyo made it 17 in all, the most ever won by a british paralympian. but still there was the drive for at least one more cycle and a games close to home with her family there to see it. the chance to have a normal games, to have a games with spectators, and just being able to kind of experience that atmosphere again,

was too good to turn down. and of course charlie, who never been to a games, he won't quite be seven when we get to paris, so for both him and louisa, they will hopefully remember this games, because louisa was only three in rio and she only has fleeting memories and she's not sure if those memories are from looking at photographs or from actually being there. and when you remind yourself that you hold all of these records, and that this will be your ninth paralympic games, how do you feel when you reflect on achievements like that? i think the number nine is kind of the thing that is most exciting. it's not something i've had a dream about. i remember as a young athlete calculating that i might not be too old if i did eight games, but never, ever thought that line would be a possibility. i think is testament to the support i've had. are you going into it thinking it could be your last one? i've never been into any games thinking it's my last one. i've always just gone into it focusing on what the job is. and i think those sorts of decisions come later. for me it's about making sure i have

no distractions and focus on giving absolutely everything, and then sit back, hopefully with my feet up, and make some decisions about what next year looks like. for storey, these games will be different. she goes in the road race and time trial, but won't compete in the velodrome. two golds would take her up the old time standing, to 19 overall, the third most won by a para athlete of the summer games. but records are not the main motivation. two years ago she broke a crash. just to get to paris has been a team effort. my family first and foremost have been able to pick me up from the various scrapes i've got myself into over the years, and put me back together and helped me believe in myself again. yeah, i feel really fortunate to still be contending and hopefully, it inspires other people to realise that you don't have to worry about age sometimes, you can just try and follow a dream you didn't know you had. we're joined now by two of dame sarah storey�*s teammates on the para cycling team,

golden couple neil and lora fachie. morning to you both. it's great to have you on the show. are you ready? yeah. it is one day tell the opening ceremony and two days until the steam —— until the team starts raising. it's exciting. we are ready to get going and excited about it all. ., , ., ., all. how is the training going? yeah, all. how is the training going? yeah. one _ all. how is the training going? yeah. one of— all. how is the training going? yeah, one of the _ all. how is the training going? yeah, one of the interesting i all. how is the training going? i yeah, one of the interesting things as an _ yeah, one of the interesting things as an athlete, you spend almost the entire _ as an athlete, you spend almost the entire year— as an athlete, you spend almost the entire yeartraining. so as an athlete, you spend almost the entire year training. so you never actually— entire year training. so you never actually go — entire year training. so you never actually go that quick until you get to a race _ actually go that quick until you get to a race week. we have almost been doing _ to a race week. we have almost been doing less _ to a race week. we have almost been doing less training the past couple of weeks — doing less training the past couple of weeks, freshening up for this event _ of weeks, freshening up for this event we — of weeks, freshening up for this event. we are starting to see little bits of— event. we are starting to see little bits of form showing through. over the next _ bits of form showing through. over the next few weeks it will come through. — the next few weeks it will come through, the team is looking really good, _ through, the team is looking really good, really fast, the velodrome

am sure glastonbury is looking at this and thinking, let's get oasis here. the prime minister will promise to reverse a "decade of decline" when he delivers a speech from downing street later. the tories have dismissed the speech as a "performative" attempt to distract the public from promises sir keir starmer never —— attempt to distract the public from promises. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, the prime minister is trying to set out his stall but he's under pressure over support for pensioners, isn't he? morning. what keir starmer is trying to do is get on top of things before the return of parliament next week. this government will be different from previous governments. we are a government of service. he will make the argument it will act very differently to what he has —— we have seen for the past periods. despite all this thich rowling at westminster for difficult decisions,

there has been particular criticism of the decision to scrap winter fuel payments for most pensioners. this morning, the chair of the labour party was asked about that on breakfast. party was asked about that on breakfast-— party was asked about that on breakfast. , ., , , breakfast. pensioners will still get the tri - le breakfast. pensioners will still get the triple lock _ breakfast. pensioners will still get the triple lock on _ breakfast. pensioners will still get the triple lock on their _ breakfast. pensioners will still get the triple lock on their pension. i the triple lock on their pension. pensioners receiving pension credit will still— pensioners receiving pension credit will still get their winter fuel allowance. we have an ambitious programme to insulate the coldest homes _ programme to insulate the coldest homes, benefiting many pensioners as well these _ homes, benefiting many pensioners as well these are tough choices but they are — well these are tough choices but they are tough choices because of they are tough choices because of the state — they are tough choices because of the state the country has been left in after _ the state the country has been left in after 14 — the state the country has been left in after 1a years of conservative government. in after 14 years of conservative government-— in after 14 years of conservative covernment. ., , , government. that is exactly the sort of argument — government. that is exactly the sort of argument we _ government. that is exactly the sort of argument we will _ government. that is exactly the sort of argument we will hear _ government. that is exactly the sort of argument we will hear from i government. that is exactly the sort of argument we will hear from the i of argument we will hear from the prime minister in a couple of hours. the inheritance they got from the last government is dire and that means things will get worse before they get better. however, i don't

think that will stop the criticism of some of keir starmer�*s decisions going away. i do think the treasury is looking at a mitigation, which would be to extend the hardship fund that has been in place for the last few years over this winter as well, giving councils in england some cash to help people with the cost of living. whilst keir starmer is celebrating a few weeks in office and is trying to get on the front foot, with government comes real challenges. keir starmer is seeing some of that pressure already. russia has targeted ukraine with another wave of missile and drone attacks, a day after one of its biggest air attacks of the war so far. at least seven people were killed and dozens wounded. —— at least four people were killed overnight. a british national was killed in a strike at a hotel on saturday. earlier our reporter abdujalil abdurasulov sent us

this report from kyiv. the air raid siren kept going off across ukraine all night and this morning as well, and explosions were heard in a number of cities, including in the kyiv region as well. and one of the missiles hit a hotel in the city of kryvyi rih, killing at least two people, according to the local authorities. and five people were injured and two two more are still missing there, so rescue workers continue removing the rubble at the site and trying to find those missing people. and also during a drone attack on the zaporizhzhia region in southern part of ukraine, two people have been killed, at least according to the authorities. and we are getting reports from the ukrainian air force saying that russian drones are still in the air as we speak, and they're threatening northern and southern regions of ukraine, where the air raid alert is still on. so this threat of more attacks — of attacks from drones and missiles is still on. so we may have more, um, incidents and attacks later today

and we will report about them. the metropolitan police say five people were stabbed on the final day of the notting hill carnival. two of the victims are in a life—threatening condition, while a 32—year—old woman who was stabbed on sunday also remains in critical condition. our reporterjoe inwood joins us now from scotland yard. what are the police saying about the weekend? ., ._ , ., weekend? over the two days of the nottin: hill weekend? over the two days of the notting hill carnival, _ weekend? over the two days of the notting hill carnival, eight- weekend? over the two days of the notting hill carnival, eight people i notting hill carnival, eight people were stabbed. two in a critical condition from yesterday and one from the day before. the woman stabbed on sunday was with her child. she is a mother and remains in hospital. there were 230 arrests in hospital. there were 230 arrests in total, a9 for possession of a weapon. in a statement, the deputy assistant commissioner said...

but they do point out, it is important to remember, the vast majority of people who went to carnival went to celebrate. this is the biggest street party in europe, the biggest street party in europe, the second biggest in the world. a million people over a couple of days coming to celebrate dance, music to celebrate afro—caribbean culture. it is a joyful event. most people had a very good time that it did come at significant cost to those eight people who were stabbed. investigators are trying to find out whether cladding played a role in a fire at a tower block in east london. more than 80 people were evacuated from the building in dagenham, in the early hours of yesterday morning. the fire service said the building had "known" safety issues. tom joins us from dagenham.

morning to you. what are the police saying, the fire service saying, about the cause of the fire and investigation that is now under way? nothing at the moment. this is a place where they are still trying to make the building safe, pouring gallons and gallons of water on with two fire hoses, fed by lines of houses going right down the streets here. we think that might go on for another day at least, damping down the heat that is still clearly an issue in the building. the fire service will lead on the investigation initially. it will look at all sorts of things, how did the fires start? was the work being done to remove the cladding possibly because in some way of the fire? was the building safe to live in while the building safe to live in while the cladding was on the side of it and being removed? also looking at the evacuation which took place. the standing advice to residents in these sorts of buildings is usually

to stay put. clearly he they took an early decision to evacuate. they used new smoke hoods they issued to people to leave so they can breathe properly when they are in a smoky environment. they will look at the way the building was managed. there were a series of enforcement notices placed by the fire brigade on this building last year, all sorts of alleged breaches of fire safety regulations. all of which will go into the mix and they will come up with a picture of the circumstances and the context of this fire devastating for another day at least the damping down the heat that is still clearly an issue in the building. still clearly an issue in the building-— still clearly an issue in the buildinu. ,, . ., building. the fire service will lead an investigation _ building. the fire service will lead an investigation initially. - building. the fire service will lead an investigation initially. it- building. the fire service will lead an investigation initially. it will. an investigation initially. it will look at all sorts of things, how did the fire start? was the work being done to remove the cladding possibly the cause in some way of the fire? was the building safe to live in while the cladding was on the side of it and being removed? also looking at the evacuation which took place. the standing advice to residents in these sorts of buildings is usually to stay put. clearly he they took an early decision to evacuate. they used new smoke hoods they issued to people to

to discriminate, you were overwhelmingly going to disadvantage the women. they will be worse off. it is 1a minutes past eight exactly. we will have much more on thatjust confirmed always reunion injust a couple of minutes. before that, let's talk to our rock and roll star, carol. good morning. it has been a pretty wet start to the day in the north and west of the country. some heavy rain in the highlands. but in stark contrast, as you can further south, it is dry and here is where we will see the lion poz—mac share the sunshine. you can see how much rain there has been. the met office has a weather warning out until nine o'clock for a north—west scotland. we could have as much as 25 to a0 millimetres of rain. that is roughly an inch and a half. the rain will continue to push southwards, getting into south—west england, wales and north—west england, but for the midlands and it was an anglo, kent,

the south coast it will be dry, sunny and warm. in northern ireland and scotland the rain in northern ireland and scotland breezy elsewhere. top temperatures today likely to reach 25, 26 in the south east. we could reach 21 or 22 along the moray firth coastline. there will not be much more than a band of cloud and the odd shower. further showers in the north and west. not a particularly cold night. tomorrow we stopped but the scenario. once again a week where the front. through the day it will push east as a band of cloud. we might catch the odd shower in it. sherry outbreaks of rain coming in

across western scotland and northern ireland. —— showery outbreaks. temperatures up to about 26. potentially 28. tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week.— potentially 28. tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week. thank you very much- — oasis fans have finally got the news they've been hoping for this morning — as the legendary band have announced that 15 years after splitting — they are getting back together fora uk and ireland tour next summer. formed in 1991, the group rose to fame with hits including wonderwall, don't look back in anger and live forever. in 199a, the band released their chart—topping album, definitely maybe, helping to kick off the britpop era and propel them to mega—stardom. in 1996, an incredible 2.5 million people applied for tickets to their two dates at knebworth. it's well documented that the brothers had a tough relationship,

and in 2009 a backstage fight led to noel leaving the band, and since then, fans have longed for a reunion. now — finally — they've got it. here's a look at some of their biggest hits. # maybe. # i don't really want to know. # how your garden grows. # cos i just want to fly.# nothing anybody does can be as big as oasis. not coldplay, not kasabian, not the arctic monkeys in this country, not u2, not any of them. it's as simple as that. # today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. # by now, you should've somehow realised what you're not to do. # i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now.# there's only so many, like, _ olive branches you can give someone. you know what i mean? without sort of going, "well, actually, i don't think he i really cares anymore." what do you miss about him? just being in a band, man. having a crack with him.

about him? having a banter, just having a laugh and just all that stuff. _ you know what i mean? but there you go. that's life, isn't it? # but don't look back in anger. # don't look back in anger. # i heard you say.# it's the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude. i don't have the same attitude as him. # at least not today.# the voice is an instrument. and it's the same thing with the bee gees. when you get... when you get two brothers singing together, it's something that you can't... it's unique. # ..you've been given. # if you don't get yours i won't get mine as well.# so good, those songs are so good. we're joined now by music journalistjohn robb.

estimates that now a full—time nursery place for a child under two costs on average £15,700 a year. but the expansion of free childcare presents a challenge. the government estimates that they will need 85,000 extra places and 40,000 extra staff by the end of next year. let's chat to some of the parents who have stuck around a bit let's chat to some of the parents who have stuck around a hit this morning to talk to us about the difference this free childcare extension will make. we have danielle and liam. how will the free 15 hours a week affect you? it is auoin to 15 hours a week affect you? it is going to be _ 15 hours a week affect you? it is going to be really _ 15 hours a week affect you? it is going to be really beneficial for us because _ going to be really beneficial for us because it — going to be really beneficial for us because it means we can put her in an extra _ because it means we can put her in an extra day, — because it means we can put her in an extra day, whereas if we didn't .et an extra day, whereas if we didn't get the _ an extra day, whereas if we didn't get the hours we wouldn't be able to do that _ get the hours we wouldn't be able to do that. ~ . , get the hours we wouldn't be able to do that. ~ ., , ., get the hours we wouldn't be able to do that. . ., , ., , do that. what is it meant in terms of work for _ do that. what is it meant in terms of work for both _ do that. what is it meant in terms of work for both of _ do that. what is it meant in terms of work for both of you? - do that. what is it meant in terms| of work for both of you? obviously we both work _ of work for both of you? obviously we both work full-time _ of work for both of you? obviously we both work full-time hours. - of work for both of you? obviously we both work full-time hours. we| we both work full—time hours. we rely quite — we both work full—time hours. we rely quite heavily— we both work full—time hours. we rely quite heavily on _ we both work full—time hours. we rely quite heavily on people's - rely quite heavily on people's ebbport _

night. she was left having to crawl off a train when there was nobody there to help. we can speak to her now. good morning to you. how are you doing? what you. how are you doing? what happened _ you. how are you doing? what happened last _ you. how are you doing? what happened last night? - you. how are you doing? what happened last night? so, - you. how are you doing? what happened last night? so, i - you. how are you doing? hisusgt happened last night? so, i was booked on the quarter past seven train from leeds michael, missed it, got to the station at half past seven, they said, don't worry, we will put you on the quarter to eight, it got into london at ten o'clock, nobody was out to meet me. you're meant to give five minutes for people coming at you. i did that. i waited. for people coming at you. i did that. iwaited. 15 for people coming at you. i did that. i waited. 15 minutes after sitting on the train, i decided there was no one coming, there was a cleaner on board but they're not insured or able to help. i decided to crawl off. i had to get out of my chair, which it off, all my bags, and get off the train that way. this sounds absolutely horrific. and i think maybe what makes it worse is

this is definitely not the first time we have had this conversation, is it? i mean, how fed up are you with having to say this out loud again and again? it’s with having to say this out loud again and again? it's exhausting. and i'm really — again and again? it's exhausting. and i'm really lucky. _ again and again? it's exhausting. and i'm really lucky. i— again and again? it's exhausting. and i'm really lucky. i have - again and again? it's exhausting. and i'm really lucky. i have a - again and again? it's exhausting. l and i'm really lucky. i have a huge amount of privilege. i have a following on social media and people can pick up on this. it happens to lots of disabled people. we have a booking app which is not fit for purpose and it fails if there is lack of communication. we have a legal right to turn up and go, just to ask to get on a train. trains were meant to be step free by january the 1st, 2020. the last government said it would be100 years before disabled people can get on a train without the permission or support of a non—disabled person. and it'sjust support of a non—disabled person. and it's just exhausting. support of a non—disabled person. and it'sjust exhausting. i support of a non—disabled person. and it's just exhausting. i was really angry last night. i mean, mostly because, you know, i canjust about do it. but there are lots and lots of other disabled people who

can't and would have been stuck until who knows when. 50. can't and would have been stuck until who knows when.— can't and would have been stuck until who knows when. so, 100 years for the trains — until who knows when. so, 100 years for the trains to _ until who knows when. so, 100 years for the trains to be _ until who knows when. so, 100 years for the trains to be fully _ for the trains to be fully accessible. that is astonishing in itself. that is a different argument. what is the process now? how should it work if things work properly? 50. how should it work if things work --roerl ? i. how should it work if things work --roerl ? ,., ., properly? so, if you turn up and go they should — properly? so, if you turn up and go they should be _ properly? so, if you turn up and go they should be communicating - properly? so, if you turn up and go | they should be communicating from one state to the other. there is an app. a lot of the train companies use different apps. they don't all use different apps. they don't all use the same app. unless you are trained to use the ramp, you are not insured to use it. a cleaner did offer to help me when i was halfway offer to help me when i was halfway off the train. but i didn't want to put them in a difficult position. front line staff are meant to be trained. not all of them are. i had another issue at the weekend where i try to get on a train at aylesbury and was told the front line staff weren't trained. i did find somebody who could operate the ramp. in this day and age it's just not right.

we're on the verge of the paralympics. if another non—disabled person tells me 2012 changed the world for disabled people, i will scream. it was an incredible games, it raised the bar on the paralympics, but there is so much other stuff that hasn't changed. when we shouldn't expect it to. iii when we shouldn't expect it to. if this is happening to you, how many other people is this happening to you? other people is this happening to ou? ., , . other people is this happening to ou? ., , ~ , other people is this happening to ou? , ., other people is this happening to ou? , you? lots. and people who are exhausted _ you? lots. and people who are exhausted about _ you? lots. and people who are exhausted about complaining, | you? lots. and people who are - exhausted about complaining, who don't have the platform or the profile that i do, who just get ignored, who get fobbed off, you know, train companies are getting sued week in, week out, for offering a really port service to disabled people. and actually, that should be a news story in itself. how much i the train companies paying when things fail? nobody else has to go through this process of booking or having to beg to get on a train. 50

having to beg to get on a train. so why should we? lner assay, that is the train company, they say they are in the process of investigating. they are in contact with the customer, which is you, directly. you have heard all of that before. you have heard all of that before. you have heard all of that before. you have a position here, you have access. will you raise this with the government? clearly waiting 100 years, as you have touched on, for those trends to be accepted correct or accessible is not an option. what can the government do to make sure there is full accessibility for people who need it? i there is full accessibility for people who need it?- there is full accessibility for people who need it? i have been raising with _ people who need it? i have been raising with every _ people who need it? i have been raising with every government i people who need it? i have been raising with every government of every colour since the 90s. i have spokenin every colour since the 90s. i have spoken in debates in the chamber about this. what needs to happen is they needs to be a commitment to level boarding. it is not cheap but it is only going to get more expensive. you can buy trains that are lower—level. even if you bought one carriage per train, that would be different. of the government have

to budget in the procurement process, the train companies have to accept they need to change. change has to just start now. we can'tjust keep saying we will sort it in a few years because it will never change if something isn't done now. they have had years to do it. everybody has kicked the can down the road by allowing derogations. by allowing them get out clauses. i'm a bit tired of it, to be honest, i am still quite angry, to be honest. yeah, i bet. thank you for talking to us this morning. we will follow it closely. tanni grey—thompson, good to have you with us, as always. enjoy the polemics. we will speak to you soon. take care. —— enjoy the paralympics. a huge number of tributes have been paid to sven goran eriksson, the former england manager, who's died at the age of 76. he took the top job in english football,

the first non—british manager to do so, leading the team to the quarter—finals at three major tournaments during his five year spell between 2001 and 2006. injanuary he revealed he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. amongst those paying tribute is the prince of wales, the patron of the football association. he said... sven's former partner nanci del�*ollio said... while wayne rooney, who was handed his debut by sven aged just 17, said...

david beckham spent some time with sven before he died, and posted this moving tribute to his former manager. goalkeeperjoe hart, who played for eriksson during his time as manchester city manager, speaking on the radio last night, said he was different from other managers and that he had a real love for the game. you couldn't not respect him, you couldn't not behave under him, you know. as chris was saying there, in that era of the hair—dryer, you didn't want to cross sven. but not because you were scared of him — because you didn't want to let the guy down.

too young to appreciate him. too early in the game to appreciate that there are some beautiful people in this game who are part of the game because theyjust love everything about it, and they want everyone to be happy. and there was of course a huge amount of media intrusion into his life during his time in england. but in a recent amazon documentary, sven explained how he'd like to be remebered. i hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do. don't be sorry. smile. thank you for everything — coaches, players, the crowds. it's been fantastic.

let's talk to former managing director of the fa, adrian bevington, who worked closely with sven during his time in england. good to talk to you. you were really close to sven when he was england manager. how would you describe him to anyone who didn't know him? he was a to anyone who didn't know him? he: was a wonderful person. he was a real pleasure to work with. he was such a calm man. he never got affected by the often crazy world that we exist in, or existed in. he empowered people so much to get on with their work and he made you feel good about yourself. [30 with their work and he made you feel good about yourself.— good about yourself. do you think that in some _ good about yourself. do you think that in some ways _ good about yourself. do you think that in some ways we _ good about yourself. do you think that in some ways we maybe i good about yourself. do you think i that in some ways we maybe weren't ready for him? he was a little bit ahead of his time, wasn't he? he did have a difficult time in the press when he was england manager. i don't know whether we were at times

surprised by how calm his reactions were. he did seem to stay pretty serene the whole time?- were. he did seem to stay pretty serene the whole time? well, sadly, ou were serene the whole time? well, sadly, you were rounded _ serene the whole time? well, sadly, you were rounded that _ serene the whole time? well, sadly, you were rounded that period. i i serene the whole time? well, sadly, j you were rounded that period. i was! that was incredibly _ you were rounded that period. i was! that was incredibly intense. - you were rounded that period. i was! that was incredibly intense. they i that was incredibly intense. they were so much noise going on. combine that with the superstar nature of the players we had at that period as well. but behind the scenes he never lost his cool. what you saw in the media was what you got behind the scenes. what you didn't always get quite as much of in the media was the devilish sense of humour he had. he found a lot of it amusing. when he reflected on things at the end of the day, he would laugh about certain moments. and that made life in the frenzied space that we often operate it in, so much more enjoyable to actually exist in. hand

en'oyable to actually exist in. and i enjoyable to actually exist in. and i wonder if — enjoyable to actually exist in. and i wonder if some _ enjoyable to actually exist in. and i wonder if some people today might be slightly surprised by some of the stories we are hearing? you mentioned we both worked during that period, adrian, and sometimes i can remember having to ask him some really difficult questions that might have made someone else angry, but you would ask him the question, he would give you the answer and then he would say, shall be have a cup of tea? that was him, wasn't it? it was. he was a very low maintenance person. he went about his life in a very quiet manner. he had very high standards. but when there was a particular moment, a particular issue, blimey, it could be a real story, but as you say, sally, there have been situations. i remember in amsterdam at one point, you were out there, it was the first time after he had surfaced after the situation with faria alam on the proposed move to chelsea, there was a lot going on, but he maintained his dignity. he was just a guy who,

i think the players really liked him because, you know, he had their back, he never criticise them publicly, he supported them. he was a positive person, and as he set himself, he wanted to be remembered as a positive guy, well, he was, and he did it with a smile. anyone who worked closely with him, including anyone in the media and the fans, will have a smile about sven, even in these sad circumstances. mas will have a smile about sven, even in these sad circumstances. was he read for in these sad circumstances. was he ready for the _ in these sad circumstances. was he ready for the scrutiny _ in these sad circumstances. was he ready for the scrutiny that - in these sad circumstances. was he ready for the scrutiny that came i ready for the scrutiny that came with that england job? you know, coming from sweden and taking on a job like that, we all know the scrutiny that goes with it and everybody feels they have got a vested interest, they have got an opinion on what the england manager does. was he ready for that? i opinion on what the england manager does. was he ready for that?- does. was he ready for that? i don't think he was — does. was he ready for that? i don't think he was ready _ does. was he ready for that? i don't think he was ready for _ does. was he ready for that? i don't think he was ready for the _ think he was ready for the extremities around his private life. he had come from lazio, sampdoria and benfica, so he was used to the powerful nature of the italian
