—— humid. good morning. one of britain's most infamous serial killers, the moors murderer, ian brady, has died aged 79. brady and his partner, myra hindley, tortured and murdered five children in the 1960s. hindley died in prison in 2002. brady, who was believed to be terminally ill, had been receiving palliative care at ashworth hospital, a high—security psychiatric unit on merseyside. keith doyle reports. the discovery of children's bodies on saddleworth moor shocked and horrified the public. more than 50 yea rs horrified the public. more than 50 years later, the moors murderer, ian brady, has died at ashworth security hospital on merseyside. he had been on hunger strike but force—fed for many years, as he was deemed to be mentally ill. these drawings are from the last time he was seen in public, at a hearing four years ago. he died shortly after 6pm last night. ian brady was a petty criminal who grew night. ian brady was a petty criminalwho grew up night. ian brady was a petty criminal who grew up in glasgow. he met myra hindley in manchester. the couple became lovers and ian brady led her into a world of sadism. 0utwardly normal couple, they became

serial killers, abducting, sexually assaulting and murdering children. when ian brady and myra hindley were arrested, they said nothing, challenging detectives to prove their guilt. they remain silent even when police had found three children's bodies in shallow graves on saddleworth moor. until her death in 2002, his accomplice blamed him. in the 1980s, the two killers made full confessions and went back to the moors to help search for other victims. pauline reade‘s body was eventually recovered, at keith bennett's grave has never been found. i want one of them to come up with the truth so i can mail the two of them. nail them for the rest of their life, like a nail me down. i wa nted their life, like a nail me down. i wanted them prosecuted for keith's death. his mother, winnie johnson, died in 2012, never knowing where her son was buried. ian brady's sadistic crimes shocked the nation, and will be recorded as among the most infamous ever seen in britain. jeremy corbyn will today unveil the labour party general election

manifesto, calling it a radical and responsible plan for government. a draft version of the document was leaked last week, including commitments to strengthen trade union rights and nationalise the railways. the bbc now understands the final version will also include a pledge to nationalise the water industry. there will be a promise to provide 30 hours of free childcare for all two—to—four—year—olds, around 1.3 million children. companies paying staff more than £330,000 will have to pay a surcharge, in a move designed to reduce pay inequality. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in bradford, where the manifesto will be launched. iain, any update on how these policies will be paid for? there will be, and this is what the front page of the manifesto will look like when it is finally unveiled in five hours' time to the many here, not to the few. at the

moment it is fairly empty. the full costings around 11am this morning. we do already have some clues. for example we know that people paying more than —— people earning more than £80,000 will pay more in tax. we suspect the top —— rate of corporation tax will be increased to help fund public services, and we are also aware they are now going to introduce a levy on high—paid. big companies which pay more than £330,000 to their staff will pay an additional levy as well. whether the figures add up or not, people will go through them with a fine tooth comb but what labour are saying is the policies is fully costed. they have price caps on energy, including freezers on fares on the railways, and in addition to that, scrapping tuition fees. these are quite big—ticket items so they will have to raise quite a lot of money to make sure the plans are credible.

thank you very much indeed. perhaps we will get a bit more detail. we will be speaking to labour's shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, at around 7:10am. he may well say you have to wait for the manifesto. plaid cymru will also launch its manifesto today, promising to make the best of brexit for wales. the party is promising to invest in hospitals, schools and roads, and will pledge to ensure european grants to wales are replaced by westminster. plaid's leader, leanne wood, wants the welsh government to have a say on any post—brexit trade deal. people setting up new businesses will get help with their living costs if the liberal democrats are elected to government. the party will introduce its business programme with a pledge to introduce a £100—a—week allowance to help entrepreneurs in the first six months of a new business venture. leader tim farron will say the conservatives are focusing on helping big business, and not small start—ups. claims that president trump discussed matters of national security with the russian foreign minister have been reported in the us media. it was reported in several american

newspapers yesterday that the president discussed classified information regarding islamic state in syria during the visit, but his team have dismissed the allegations as more fake news. the meeting itself was controversial enough, coming just a day after the president fired his fbi director over an ongoing investigation into campaign links to russia. now, the washington post is reporting that in the course of their discussions the president disclosed classified information that could jeopardise a crucial source of intelligence on so—called islamic state. revealing, it is alleged, not only the specifics of an is plot which is thought to centre on the use of la ptop thought to centre on the use of laptop computers on aircraft, but the city from which that threat was detected. the nature of the information that the president provided to the russians would allow them, if they... would allow the russians to reverse engineer, essentially, that information, to

discover the sources and methods. in other words, he said so much that one could figure it out. wants the meeting was over, the white house reportedly called senior intelligence chiefs to warn them of what happens. it now finds itself embroiled in a far larger damage limitation exercise, prompting administration officials to flatly deny the allegations are true. at no time, at no time, were intelligence sources 01’ time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed. and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. that the president might have shared classified information with america's prime adversary is causing concern even amongst his staunchest allies. the police federation says cuts to forces in england and wales have left the service at breaking point. its chairman, steve white, will tell its annual conference in birmingham that officers need better support, particularly if they are involved in a fatal shooting or a police pursuit. but the chairman of the independent police complaints commission, dame anne 0wers, has told the bbc her staff still face

resistance when they try to investigate incidents. the leaders of the main nurses‘ union say a fall in the number of full—time school nurses in england could be putting children's health at risk. the royal college of nursing is also highlighting a reduction in the number of health visitors. jane dreaper reports. investing in children's health pays, and reduces inequalities. that is the message from this nursing union. but it says progress in recent years is being undermined. four year plan to boost health visitor numbers began in england in 2011. by 2015 they were more than 10,000 health visitors, but the number has fallen by 1000 since then, and there has been a 16% drop in full—time school nurses over the past seven years, down to around 2500. if we were really serious about the health of oui’

really serious about the health of our population, if we are really serious about our young children being the future, then we do need to invest in children's services. we are hearing they are important, but actually school nurses, health visitors, make sure that schools services are ring—fenced or put in priority is to enable that to happen. the facility say they are protecting children's health, with more than £3 billion spent on public health last year. labour is promising a new health fund to increase school nurse and health visitor numbers. yesterday we told you about the unicorns of the sea. today, it is time for the pandas of the sea. the vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal in the world, with just 30 left. the elusive creatures all live in the gulf of mexico. the world wildlife fund has called for urgent action to save it from extinction. it said the illegal use of a certain type of fishing net has wiped out 90% of the creatures since 2011. you can see they are very elusive. a

little bit of a fin, a little bit like a dolphin, perhaps. cute. have you ever heard of vaquita? no. john was no wiser when it came to the narwhal. i had never heard of a narwhal. i had never heard of a narwhal either. the b-52s! rock lobster, there is a narwhal in that. the 0ctonauts. i am disappointed in you. soz. the match last night had

everything. seven goals, a last—minute winner, a sending off, the only thing missing was the trophy. that will be sunday, as they play sunderland. it had everything last night. cesc fabregas with a late goal, as they beat watford 11—3 to cue the celebrations. the victory equalled the club record for the number of wins in a premier league season. chelsea will receive their trophy on sunday, on the last day of the season, not that that stopped them enjoying themselves last night. pep guardiola says he would have been sacked at his previous clubs of barcelona or bayern munich if he had failed to win anything in a season, as has been the case at manchester city. they face west brom, still trying to cement champions league football next season. roger federer has pulled out of the french open later this month, choosing instead to focus on the grass court season and wimbledon, where he will aim to win a 19th major title. and maria sharapova has earned a qualifying place at wimbledon. she was out of the sport for 15

months serving a doping ban, and in reaching the second round of the italian 0pen, she has earned a chance to play at sw19. i think at the moment people are seeing how she gets on. there has been a great amount of debate since she has returned about whether or not she should have been handed a number of wild cards for tennis tournaments following the doping ban she served. now she is accruing more ranking points and people are waiting to see what the tournaments will do. will she be handed wildcard 01’ will do. will she be handed wildcard or will she get enough points to she has obviously qualified for wimbledon. and we will do the papers ina minute. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. is that a double rainbow? well, you can expect some rain today. the rainbow tells the story itself. rain across parts of the west but also a mild start. quite widely at the

moment temperatures between 1a and 15 across the land. you can see where we have had the rain through the last few hours. across northern england, through wales, in the south—west england, showers in the far south—east as well but it is this band which will slowly be moving towards the east through the day, but it is very slow. ahead of ita day, but it is very slow. ahead of it a lot of cloud, some murky conditions, rain across parts of devon and cornwall and across wales as we go through the course of the morning. moving across the irish sea, quite murky and a lot of cloud in northern ireland, with showery outbreaks of rain not too far away for you. same outbreaks of rain not too far away foryou. same in outbreaks of rain not too far away for you. same in north—west scotland, showery rain coming in. a lot of cloud. temperatures in scotla nd lot of cloud. temperatures in scotland around 1a or 15 and across northern england we have the rain starting to show its hand. a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of cloud around, and early showers across east anglia and also the south—east. now, as we go through the course of today, what is going to happen is the rain across england and will slowly push towards the south—east.

some of it will be heavy. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder. ahead of it, in east anglia and the south—east, it should stay largely dry with some sunny spells. the rain rattles across northern ireland in scotland, bringing sunshine and showers behind. quite nice in the sunshine, up to 17, 18, maybe 20. in the south—east it will feel muggy and in any prolonged sunshine we could have highs up to 25 celsius, so could have highs up to 25 celsius, so quite a sticky feel to the day. through the evening and overnight oui’ through the evening and overnight our band of rain continues to push towards the south—east. you can see how the energy is being pumped up from the south. some of that will be heavy. again there is the risk it could be thundery. it will be quite a muggy night but behind it in scotland, northern ireland and northern england, some fresh conditions under clearer skies. tomorrow we start off with all this

rain. again it is in no rush to move and it is going to continue across parts of england, especially across the south and south—east, in the east anglia, where again it could be heavy and thundery. it will feel muqqy heavy and thundery. it will feel muggy underneath that. fresher conditions behind, many seeing sun overnight on wednesday we still have the rain, pushing steadily off into the rain, pushing steadily off into the north sea, leaving us on thursday with a mixture of sunshine and showers, and that is how we end the week generally. sunshine and showers, and not feeling as sticky, though it is quite muggy at the moment. it is muggy. though it is quite muggy at the moment. it is muggy, isn't it? it was muggy coming in here this morning. more great weather words later. the moors murderer ian brady has died at the age of 79. along with myra hindley he murdered five children in the 1960s. labour are officially unveiling their election manifesto. it'll include plans to nationalise water companies and extend free childcare the papers.

for us this morning — he's taking a look at why more businesses are feeling squeezed. good morning to you, then. it's all happening. welcome to south wales. we are looking at the rising cost of living. inflation figures are due out at 9:30 a.m.. this farm is just outside of cardiff and it's interesting because they have got about 180 cows, about 6000 pints of milk they produce your every single day and they have seen prices rising on all sorts of things, whether it's feed for the animals or petrol together. prices here are going up and they are going up for the farmers and the producers, notjust oui’s as consumers farmers and the producers, notjust ours as consumers that i got to come out of here. it's interesting because i want to talk you through the numbers that we are expecting a little bit later. we will get that increase in the cost of living figure. its 2.3%. they are going up

by 2.3% but the issue, and this is why it is important, wages, on average, are going up byjust 2% so that means there is a gap and in reality, a bit worse off. we are not as worse off as we reality, a bit worse off. we are not as worse off as we were reality, a bit worse off. we are not as worse off as we were before. we might stop spending, all sorts of things which will affect the way the economy functions. the bank of england has warned that the cost of living will rise even further, suite 28%, making it even worse, the squeeze on our incomes. we will be here all morning. finding out what they do but also what affect the rising cost of living is having on them. join me a little later when we find out what it means rice at home and for the people who produce our every day. see them. plenty of that to look forward to. back to our main story now and the brother of one of the victims of the moors murderers said brady's death would not end their nightmare.

brady was convicted of the murders of edward evans, leslie ann downey and john kilbride. brady later confessed to killing pauline reade and keith bennett. keith's body has never been found. former bbc correspondent peter gould covered the story for over a decade and has been in contact with brady since the 1980s. he joins us now from our london newsroom. good our london newsroom. morning and thank you to talking good morning and thank you to talking to was. i know you are in contact with ian brady for a long time. did you ever get your sense that he felt any guilt or a morse? this is a question many people have asked and if you read the popular press, they castigate him time and again for showing absolutely no remorse for these crimes, appalling crimes. i have to say there was one occasion in the many letters she wrote to me when he did express some kind of remorse. his phrase was, my

remorse is painfully deep. that was the only occasion where he really referred to the crimes he committed. i know that on the number of occasions, relatives of the families of the children he killed wrote to him, trying to get more information from him about the circumstances of the crime, particularly the involvement of myra hindley, and where the bodies were buried and he said to me on one occasion, i received the letters, they have been passed to me but i can't read them, i have to keep the mental blocks in place so that gives you some sense ofa man place so that gives you some sense of a man who is probably tortured by the crimes that he and myra hindley committed and could never really face up to them which is why i think the impression has been created that he really showed no remorse at all.

keith bennett, his body was never found and his mother, i've spoken to her many times before she died, and it was always her feeling that brady held back on where he buried keith's body because he wanted to continue to have a bit of paola, but only over her and the families and over police. i talked to her on a number of occasions and he firmly believed he was playing games with police and thatis he was playing games with police and that is a common perception. he was extremely manipulative and quite capable of doing things like that. all i can say is that when i spoke to him or rather conversant with him by letter, during that period when he was being taken up to help in the police search for the bodies, i got an impression of someone who was almost overwhelmed by the task of trying to pinpoint the grades of the people he killed and buried because

if you know the moors, it is a vast, featureless area and he found it difficult after so many years, trying to find the right places but as you say, many people will always be convinced that he went to his grave knowing that —— knowing more than he ever revealed. the fact we asked talking about him now and our crimes together, what makes them such a notorious couple? the fact that they were, to look at, they we re that they were, to look at, they were a normal couple? indeed and in the popular imagination, the fact that it was a man and wife, sorry, a man and woman committing these crimes together does take it out of the ordinary and thinking back to the ordinary and thinking back to the 1960s, anyone who is old enough to remember the crimes in manchester in the 1960s, they will not need telling about the enormous impact they have on the general public.

first of all, a series of children going missing and everyone suspected they had been abducted and killed and then the appalling sight of police digging up the moors, trying to find the bodies of the children who had been buried upset by ian brady and myra hindley. peter, thank you for your insight. the moors murderer ian brady died last night at the age of 79. it is 27 minutes past six. good morning. a second teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17—year—old boy in walthamstow. the larger donnelly was stabbed to death last weekend. —— elijah. the dreams of a

roads: good morning. it's a very warm start out there this morning. very humid air. quite muggy and sticky. it is a bright start and we are already starting to see one or two breaks in the crowd system glimmers of sunshine. if that happens in the afternoon, the temperature will get afternoon, the temperature will get a bit warmer. a warm and sticky day but we should stay mostly dry until this evening when we start to see a little bit of rain pushing into the north and the west. another hot and humid night. the temperature not dripping down too far. perhaps drive towards the south and east. the rain

costly painting. and a costly team. they keep winning. if you thought they would slow down after winning they would slow down after winning the title on friday, absolutely not. a little pause. not a great defensive display from both sides, but still a seven goal thriller, and they won it. it had everything apart from the trophy, which chelsea still have to wait for. but there was fireworks and tickertape, and conte celebrating. john terry, who is leaving at the end of the season, even scored their opener. watford, though, pulled them back from 3—1 down. but cesc fabregas popped up with two minutes remaining, to make it 4—3, for chelsea's 29th win of the season, equalling the premier league record. ifi

if i could have written my story and my life, kind of how it panned out, this is how it would have been, to be honest. to have been crowned champions and to have left the football clu b champions and to have left the football club in great hands with the manager and the players we have here as well. so it is going to be a really sad and emotional day for me next week, it really is. i have been there 22 years, which is a long time. at i have had wonderful experiences and opportunities that the football club. manchester city manager pep guardiola says he would have been sacked by former clubs barcelona and bayern munich if he had ended the season without a trophy. city have failed to win any silverware in guardiola's first season in charge, and are not yet guaranteed a top—four premier league finish, with two games to play. ifi if i had been in barcelona with nothing to defend, and joining the club, and within six months, no win, you are club, and within six months, no win, you a re really club, and within six months, no win, you are really out, like us alone and bayern munich. you have to win,

if not, they don't give you a second chance. here, they gave me a second chance. here, they gave me a second chance. i have tried to do it. in my situation in a big club, i am sacked. in the club i was before, i would be out. so here, i have a second chance and will try to do it better. a very honest pete —— pep guardiola. the diggers wasted no time moving in to demolish tottenham hotspur‘s ground. white hart lane hosted its final match on sunday, as spurs beat manchester united. yesterday, the pitch had already been torn up and the seats ripped out, as work gets under way on their new stadium. that will be hopefully be ready in time for the 2018—19 season. roger federer won't play at the french open later this month. he has pulled out, after deciding the skip the clay—court season. federer says he is not injured, but that scheduling is the reason for missing the grand slam.

the defence his italian open title today, a day after turning the ripe old age of 30. he was greeted at his hotel by staff, who knew all the words in english to happy birthday. he is thinking ijust want to get into the shower, i have been training very hard. i am very sweaty. genuinely, i had no idea that that was coming. but yes, i really appreciated. it is really quite embarrassing when all that the attention is on you, but it was nice they made the cake and sang me happy birthday, so it was much appreciated. he says that, i genuinely think he would have hated that. but he manages to do that with a smile and cope with it, which is why i admire him. because he is probablyjust mortified. he is definitely not one for attention. it is not something

you need before your big match. some nice celebrations. in last year's eu referendum, the majority of voters in wales backed the campaign to leave. but plaid cymru backed remain, presenting the party with a difficult task ahead of the general election. leader leanne wood will unveil the plaid cymru manifesto later, and she joins us from the rhondda valley now. good morning to you. good morning. you have been talking very much about getting the best deal for wales post brexit. what is that? well, in our manifesto which we will be launching later on we will be putting forward an action plan to defend and develop wales as we go through the negotiations and the next period. it is vital, wales has not had a strong voice at all in the process so far and it is vital we

have a strong team of plaid cymru mps elected to westminster onjune the eighth, in order to put forward this action plan to defend our communities and our people. because the risk is that an increased tory mandate, say extra 100 seats for the tories, that would be devastating for our communities here in wales, for our communities here in wales, for our communities here in wales, for our public services, and for the very status of our nation, even. so a lot is at stake, and our action plan is designed to address and provides solutions to some of the challenges that we face. what would you say to people watching at home who might agree with you and think that a tory majority would be a very difficult, challenging thing for wales to handle, but are actually going to vote labour? well, many people have voted labour in the past. labour have dominated in wales for over a century. what i can tell you, from the conversations i have

been having with people and from the local election results last week, labour are split and divided. there are many welsh labour mps in constituencies here and nearby who have and are still ready to step their leader in the back, and most people, regardless of their traditional positions and long—term allegiance to one party, are not happy to support a party that is split and divided in that way. with plaid cymru, people understand and know that we will fight for wales. we will do whatever we can to make sure that wales is in the strongest possible position at all times. we face many threat is now, so it makes perfect sense. the conservatives, theresa may is now the leader of the national party of england, effectively. the snp are a strong voice for scotland. are we going to continue to vote for labour mps and

continue to vote for labour mps and continue to vote for labour mps and continue to do the same thing for the same results? you have been talking about labour mps, and the situation that you are saying many of them are in. how are you going to capitalise on that? how can plaid cymru make the most of that? we put great store on face—to—face conversations with people. that is not just broadcasting conversations with people. that is notjust broadcasting our message to people, but talking to them, listening to them, and responding to the things that they say. and we found that where we put that effort in the grassroots level the community, we reap the rewards. we get good results. here where i won the assembly results last year, it was on the back of those face—to—face conversations and in local election results where we spoke to people, we did well. we have a short period of time, but my activists are working hard around the country, having those face—to—face conversations, listening, talking to people, and explaining to them what our action

plan is all about. the language in all of yourcampaign is plan is all about. the language in all of your campaign is about defending wales from threats, you talk about defending wales, that wales is under threat. do you even have enough of a voice, even if things go very well for you, the best case scenario in the general election, would you have enough power in westminster to make a difference? there is going to be a tory landslide in england, there is no doubt about that, and given that 84% of the seats are held in england, the question for us is not about who forms the government now. it is about how strong a voice wales has to oppose the government that is in. and theresa may has very strong views, in terms of where she wants to go with the post— referendum negotiations. some of the decisions she is intent on making will be bad for wales. we want to see a guarantee on the £680 million that we currently get from the european union to develop and support

agricultural sector and our higher education sector, for example. we need those guarantees, we need to make sure that more is done to protect the 200,000 jobs that are reliant on a tariff free access to the single market. so those are the key questions for wales. and so far no answers have been heard, our needs have been neglected. we are almost out of time, i just want to ask you very quickly, we heard you speak yesterday, admitting you had taken recreational drugs many, many yea rs taken recreational drugs many, many years ago, as a student. i'm just curious to know, how have people reacted to that honesty?” curious to know, how have people reacted to that honesty? i think most people don't see at as a very big deal. do some people see it as a big deal. do some people see it as a big deal, though? well, if they do, they haven't spoken to me about it or contacted me yet. most of the m essa g es or contacted me yet. most of the messages that i received yesterday we re very messages that i received yesterday were very positive. but what they didn't show that interview was the bit about talking about the drugs

laws, and where those laws should be made. and i made the point that they should be devolved to wales. we have problems here, serious problems with substance misuse. yet our national assembly is powerless to actually change the laws around substances. so there was a lot more to that interview than was broadcast, in terms of that policy area. she is talking to us from what looks like a brilliant cafe. i was looking at those cakes but listening to her as well. we are heading to bristol tomorrow. can you let me know it stu ns say tomorrow. can you let me know it stuns say —— some stage whether i need to pack the big coat and umbrella. yes, it will be chilly and wept. this morning, it left —— it is we pt wept. this morning, it left —— it is wept for some others. you can see the cloud rolling in. in stark contrast, in the highlands, we still

have some lovely blue skies. in the highlands, the north—west highlands, the maximum temperature up to that but that cloud will roll in and the temperature will go down. across the uk, between 14 and 17. for some of us, that feels quite muggy. also, some rain through the course of the night. a few showers this morning across east anglia but the heaviest rain is in the south—west. also, a lot of murky conditions as well. as we drift into wales, a similar story. parts of cheshire and make issue, towards cumbria. a fair bit of cloud. similar lists so across the northern and western islands. a lot of cloud across scotland and north—east england. that extends

into the midlands. still, one or two showers likely across east anglia and the south—east. here and there are, there are some breaks. through the course of the day, this band of rain will very slowly. but for east anglia and the south—east, it should stay dry. meanwhile, shall be rain across northern ireland and scotland. in the sunshine here, it will feel pleasant but in the south—east, we could hit 25 and that will feel quite sticky. through this evening and overnight, here is the rain, would you be making across the south of england and into east anglia and northern england. behind it, clearer skies. it's anglia and northern england. behind it, clearerskies. it's still going to be muggy as we pushed towards the south. we start off with this rain tomorrow. some of it could be boundary. all that energy through

the weather front. we are back into sunshine behind it and showers. still the chance tomorrow in the south—east. possibly 25. 0h, carol. a massive disappointment. i was expecting to get the shorts out tomorrow. we will have a good night in bristol this evening. tomorrow. we will have a good night in bristol this eveninglj tomorrow. we will have a good night in bristolthis evening. i would advise everybody to be watching from six o'clock tomorrow. it will be fun. living costs for families across the uk have been going up in recent years, and later this morning we'll get official figures which will show us whether it's going to be the same this year. ben's at a dairy farm near cardiff finding out why more businesses and consumers are feeling squeezed. you are right. welcome to south wales. we are on a dairy farm and this is the busiest time of day, of course. 180 dairy cows, all milking.

this is the calm before the storm. about 3000 litres, 6000 plants produced here but prices are rising, not just for produced here but prices are rising, notjust for consumers produced here but prices are rising, not just for consumers but also for the people that produce the food & drink that we consume. prices are going up, be it feed orfuel. those costs need to be passed on somewhere and that is why we are seeing some prices rise. abbey is with me, she is the farmer. talk we do what it means for you. we've talked about prices going up on everything, it really affects you on the farm as well? generally, prices are cross the board above 6% from last year but you can't past —— you can't pass that cost on so we are at the mercy of the market. when it comes to thinking about passing it on, you

are stuck with the prices you pay for milk. we know consumers don't wa nt for milk. we know consumers don't want pay much more. what do you have to do? we have to look tightly at the costs that are affecting the business. we think about the fertiliser and fuel, the two costs we have to focus on mainly and in terms of looking at what people pay, the price of food has stayed at a low level for the last two years. it's really just trying low level for the last two years. it's reallyjust trying to get a little bit more back. our people used to food being cheap? we see supermarket price wars. people have gotten used to this false level of cheap food which is not sustainable. the price of food in the uk is at a low and affordable level for families so it's not a major concern are trying to get the price to the farmers and a fairer distribution is extremely important. thank you so much. we will talk more later. i

wa nt to much. we will talk more later. i want to introduce you to chris, an economist. we were talking about the costs to the farm but the costs for all of us are going up as well. we are feeling squeezed. everybody suggests a nose, the next 12— 18 months, prices are going up but wages are not to go up. we are all going to feel slightly poorer week by week. that is the challenge. wages aren't giving up. it will change our habits. maybe we will go out and spend a bit less at the supermarket. we keep talking about the gdp. as we get less confident. as we spend less, it's harderfor the gdp to grow. what we don't want is the gdp to stop growing at a fallback because then we enter into

a recession and the problems begin to get worse. for now, thank you very much. we will talk more later. that is the current state of play. inflation at 2.3%, wages up by about 296 inflation at 2.3%, wages up by about 2% and that is where you see the gap, which means we will feel a bit worse off. we will talk about it more later, go around the farm and meet some of the cals later. i've made some friends and they have told mei made some friends and they have told me i have to earn my keep. i might get involved. to what extent, then? are you going to be milking cows? maybe i will be milking a little later. huge news. we need to tell everybody when that is going to be happening so they can record it. we've heard a lot about manifestos, pledges and promises ahead ofjune's snap election, but let's spare a thought for the businesses for whom the campaign means hours of extra work. brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin went to see some rosette this is our own bbc breakfast one.

it is little bit laboury. that doesn't mean anything, viewers! i've never thought about where on earth do these come from? that is a very professional piece of kit. you would these things had gone out a while ago but when you look at people on the telly. that is quite a substantial one. brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin went to see some rosette manufacturers who are working frantically to meet demand. do you remember when you heard about the election and what you thought? yeah, but you can't transmit it. i won't repeat what i thought. it was announced at 11:15, something like that, and ijust sat and thought, oh my god. god, how much work have we got to do? they're one of the biggest rosette manufacturers in the country. lots of experience but no experience of a snap

general election. pressure, pressure, an 0mg moment, is it here. more, more, more! yes. now, kat, is that order going today? no. no?! big boss david wallace is a bit excited by the whole thing. you've got a bit of a push on? we certainly have. i can't believe it! where's this come from? the busiest time of our traditional season, the politicians decide to throw this one into the mix. we don't know what day of the week it is at the moment! their traditional season ties in to all those wonderful british traditions. whether it is a rosette to adorn a prize cow, a horse which can reallyjump, a best in show dog, the best in league teams but rosettes have always been a feature of the campaign trail, associated of course with party colours but also with winning. but the running time this time is a little,

well, short of time. with just a few weeks' notice, they are likely to produce 50,000 rosettes here. they are used to at least three months‘ notice. so, no sick leave, no holidays? no, no, not allowed to be sick. we‘re to bring the intravenous drips and everything else in with us. is there time to think about who you‘re going to vote for? in all honesty, no, i haven't had time, no! so they are bagged up, boxed up and ready to hit the campaign trail. a few miles away, at their ribbon suppliers, the mood is similarly stressed. change the plan. drop everything! drop everything, change the plan. re—plan. we knew the pressure would be on. cole‘s fabrics have been weaving for over 100 year. this will be their 10th snap election, but certainly not their last rosette order. it is quite an antiquated product, isn‘t it? it‘s quite old fashioned. is it going to see its day? i don‘t think it‘s old—fashioned,

i think it‘s a great product. there was a lot of football rosettes worn. people, in those days, used to pin on a rosette and have a football raffle. ok, that changed, football shirts, advertising, etc, etc. i can‘t see the same being true of political parties. they like rosettes, they like awards. showing a rosette has got something prestigious about it. perhaps a rosette says winning in a way a common tin badge never could do. now, ijust have to think of a manifesto. 0i, back to work, you lot! jayne mccubbin, bbc news. when is the last time you got a rosette ? when is the last time you got a rosette? what for? prettiest bitch. ina dog rosette? what for? prettiest bitch. in a dog show. exactly. she deserved

it. did that surprise you? time to get the news, travel and weather. see when a few minutes. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m claudia—liza armah and a second teenager‘s been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17—year—old boy in walthamstow. elijah dornelly was stabbed to death on the high street last weekend. seven teenagers have been fatally stabbed this year. the us investment bank, jp morgan has bought a new office in dublin — a building which could take on hundreds of london workers, following the brexit vote. it‘s after the chief executive of it‘s corporate and investment bank earlier this month said up to a thousand jobs would move from the capital in a bid to secure its european business before the uk leaves the eu. tinges on off—peak south—eastern services are paying high stash facing higherfares services are paying high stash facing higher fares from the of may.

little warmer than the predicted 23, 20 four celsius. it should stay mostly dry. pushing in a little bit to the north and west. the minimum temperature, not dropping down too far. perhaps a drive towards the south and east and to the heavier of the rain arrives in it will be quite heavy. another nice day, maybe 22 degrees. those thunderstorms continue wednesday, into thursday morning and gradually they move away. it introduces some slightly fresher air. things feeling a little cooler. it stays quite unsettled, still a showery outlook by the end of the week but some decent sunny spells between them. grime artist stomzy has made the dreams of a south london student come true, by donating £9,000

as he was deemed to be mentally ill. these drawings are from the last time he was seen in public, at a hearing four years ago. he died shortly after 6:00pm last night. ian brady was a petty criminal who grew up in glasgow. he met myra hindley in manchester. the couple became lovers, and ian brady led her into a world of sadism. an outwardly normal couple, they became serial killers, abducting, sexually assaulting and murdering children. when ian brady and myra hindley were arrested, they said nothing, challenging detectives to prove their guilt. they remained silent even when police had found three children‘s bodies in shallow graves on saddleworth moor. until her death, in 2002, his accomplice blamed him. in the 1980s, the two killers made full confessions, and went back to the moors to help search for other victims. pauline reade‘s body was eventually recovered, but keith bennett‘s grave has never been found. i want one of them to come up with the truth, so i can nail

the two of them, nail them for the rest of their life, like they nailed me down. i wanted them prosecuted for keith‘s death. his mother, winnie johnson, died in 2012, never knowing where her son was buried. ian brady‘s sadistic crimes shocked the nation, and will be recorded as among the most infamous ever seen in britain. 0ur correspondentjudith moritz joins us now from ashworth hospital where brady was getting palliative care. good morning. i know you have been following this for quite sometime. do you think we ever got a free picture of exactly who ian brady was? well, in recent years, it was piecemeal information. the last time we saw or heard of him, as keith just referred in that report, was backin just referred in that report, was back in 2013 when he appeared via video link from here at ashworth to a mental health tribunal. he gave evidence. i remember watching a mental health tribunal. he gave evidence. i rememberwatching him

giving four hours of rambling evidence as he spoke about all sorts of things. he compares himself to a monkey in a cage who was being poked with a stick. he wanted at that point to be moved from here at as hworth to point to be moved from here at ashworth to a normal prison. that is something he was denied. i can tell you that the families of his victims, winniejohnson who in particular, i met in 2012, he put them through hell. winniejohnson, keith bennett‘s mother said to me that she hopes that when ian brady dies she hopes he goes to hell as that‘s where she has been living her whole life. just after eight this morning we‘ll speak to a lawyer who worked with the family of one of brady‘s victims — keith bennett. jeremy corbyn will today unveil the labour party general election manifesto calling it a "radical and responsible" plan for government. a draft version of the document was leaked last week, including commitments to strengthen trade union rights and nationalise the railways. the bbc now understands the final version will also include

a pledge to nationalise the water industry. there will be a promise to provide 30 hours of free childcare for all two to 4—year—olds, around 1.3 million children. companies paying staff more than 330,000 pounds will have to pay a surcharge in a move designed to reduce pay inequality. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in bradford where the manifesto will be launched. iain, any update on how these policies will be paid for? we have a fair idea of the policies. but now we must crunch the numbers. how much detail will we get today on how everything will be paid for? without promising a lot of details, the front page of the manifesto says for many not the few. the back is blank, it will be filled in. we will get the full costings later. appropriate that news of the water‘s nationalisation was leaked last

night. the question is how to pay for these policies. 0ver night. the question is how to pay for these policies. over the past few hours, there have been some big clues. labour have already said they will be reversed cuts in copper age and tax. —— corporation tax. they all adding more than £80,000 per year, they will pay in the top 5%. i think taken together, looking at higher taxes to pay for public services, renationalisation of some of the companies that tony blair steered clear of and all of a sudden putting more money into public service and education, what we are seeing is the biggest choice that the british electorate seemed between the two major parties will stop quite frankly, for a generation. in a few minutes we will be speaking to labour‘s shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell.

that‘s at 7:10. plaid cymru will also launch its manifesto today, promising to make the best of brexit for wales. the party‘s promising to invest in hospitals, schools and roads, and will pledge to ensure european grants to wales are replaced by westminster. plaid‘s leader leanne wood wants the welsh government to have a say on any post—brexit trade deal. people setting up new businesses will get help with their living costs, if the liberal democrats are elected to government. the party will introduce its business programme with a pledge to introduce a 100—pound—a—week allowance to help entrepreneurs in the first six months of a new business venture. leader tim farron will say the conservatives are focusing on helping big business and not small start—ups. the white house is denying president trump shared national security secrets with the russian foreign minister during his visit the us last week. the washington post claims he gave sergei lavrov intelligence about so—called islamic state. 0ur reporter david willis has more. the meeting itself was controversial enough, coming just a day

after the president fired his fbi director over an ongoing investigation into campaign links to russia. now the washington post is reporting that, in the course of their discussions, the president disclosed classified information that could jeopardise a crucial source of intelligence on so—called islamic state, yevealing, it is alleged, not only the specifics of an is plot, which is thought to centre on the use of laptop computers on aircraft, but the city from which that threat was detected. the nature of the information that the president provided to the russians would allow them, if they — would allow the russians to reverse—engineer, essentially, that information, to discover the sources and methods. in other words, he said so much that one could figure it out. once the meeting was over, the white house reportedly called senior intelligence chiefs to warn them of what happened. it now finds itself embroiled in a far larger damage—limitation exercise, prompting administration officials to flatly deny the allegations are true.

at no time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. that the president might have shared classified information with america‘s prime adversary is causing concern, even amongst his staunchest allies. the leaders of the main nurses union say the fall in the number of school nurses in england could be putting children‘s health at risk. the royal college of nursing is also highlighting a reduction in the number of health visitors. jane dreaper reports. 0ne

one of picasso‘s best—known portraits has been sold for 35 million dollars. the work was nearly lost to the nazis during world war two but was saved by french resista nce two but was saved by french resistance fighters and it is probably a good thing that it was because it is now on sale. incredible. i wonder what dora felt about it. i wonder what dora felt about it. yesterday we told you about the unicorns of the sea. today it‘s time for the ‘pandas of the sea‘. the vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal in the world with just 30 left. the elusive creatures all live in the gulf of mexico. the world wildlife fund has called for urgent action to save it from extinction. it said the illegal use of a certain type of fishing net has wiped out 90% of the creatures since 2011.

you are watching breakfast. a "programme of hope" for the uk. that is how labour leader jeremy corbyn will describe his party‘s general election manifesto when he unveils it in bradford later. many of the details on the expected commitments were leaked last week, but what is still missing is exactly how labour will pay for its policies. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell joins us from bradford now. thank you for coming on the programme. what exactly will you be unveiling later today? a range of other policies and commitments and some of the policies we have already discussed and released will be

demonstrated in greater depth. yes, what we will be doing is setting out the policies for costings and the funding sources. no other political party, i think, funding sources. no other political party, ithink, has funding sources. no other political party, i think, has ever done this in this sort of detail. the funding and costing of individual projects. it's and costing of individual projects. it‘s quite innovative and groundbreaking for any political party to do this during a general election. are you able to tell us exactly how much manifesto commitments cost? i‘m sure you saw last week a couple of papers were saying its £93 billion. is that close ? saying its £93 billion. is that close? no, nowhere near. you will see at 11 o‘clock when we release all the information. no, there has been lots of wild and exaggerated claims. we have made it absolutely clear that what we are about is transforming and rebuilding our country and particularly investing in infrastructure and the skills of our people and also, making sure we can have public services where our

nurses are paid so little they are going to pay —— ago to food banks. we wa nt going to pay —— ago to food banks. we want our public services that meet the needs of our population and the infrastructure that meets the needs of a modern economy. that will be set out in the manifesto.” understand you are announcing these policies and saying where things have gone wrong but i‘m sure you understand, they do need to be paid for. the institute of economic affa i rs for. the institute of economic affairs suggest there is a £13 billion shortfall in in your policy and what it is going to be paid for. i know you are dismissively shaking your head but we would love to hear the details! is a institute comes to the right of politics so i would expect them to make a politics so i would expect them to makea claim politics so i would expect them to make a claim like this. when we released the costings on the funding, people will realise what we‘ve got to do now is invest for

the long—term future and make sure we have a fair taxation system and in that way, we can afford the public service we need. look at what‘s happened, take schools for example. class sizes are increasing. teachers, it is difficult to retain because there is a freeze or a pay cut they have had so long, we can‘t go on with this erosion of public services so with a fair taxation system where we tackle evasion and avoidance and we have a fair system where we all contribute, some of the highest earners a little bit more, but we are protecting 95% of earners from an increase. wejust but we are protecting 95% of earners from an increase. we just want to bring back dennis into our society so we can have that modern economy that will create prosperity but where that prosperity will be shared by everybody. you talked about protecting the 95% but what about

the 5%? will we see 50%? what you will see later on, we will set out the details, only a few hours‘ time until we published the manifesto. we are asking people to pay a little bit more who are the highest earners. in terms of the others, 95%, this is the middle and lower earners, will be protected.” understand you are waiting for the announcement but is it yes or no? lots of people this morning would like to know an answer to that question and don‘t want to wait until 11 o‘clock. will there be a 50 cents ——a 50p tax rate? until 11 o‘clock. will there be a 50 cents --a 50p tax rate? we will publish the costings on the funding. a short period of time, you will have to wait. if you look through the leaked manifesto and the promises you are talking about, it‘s undeniable that there is a long list of appealing policies for many

people. your leaders and ability to lead has been called into question in the polls are reflecting there is a lack of confidence injeremy corbyn? is that a concern? i think you will see in the run—up, in those last few weeks, the more thatjeremy corbyn gets out there, the more media coverage he gets, the more people realise the kind of decent honest person he is, who brings people together. i think that will transferred itself into people voting on the ballot box. thousands of people are turning up, meetings have been swamped by thousands of people waiting outside and yesterday, use or thousands of people turning up in leeds or wherever he goes. that shows underneath the surface, a rumbling that people want change. they want

someone that people want change. they want someone who is, to be frank, a man of the people. that is exactly what he is. did that change doesn't happen, does he have to step down? the conservatives win. we will win this election. that‘s a hypothetical question which doesn‘t deserve looking at. this manifesto on the details that we will publish today, we have already seen as a result of lea ks, we have already seen as a result of leaks, extremely we have already seen as a result of lea ks, extremely popular, we have already seen as a result of leaks, extremely popular, bringing rail back into public ownership, properly funding the nhs, making sure we have a fair taxation system. all of those are extremely popular among the general public and that will be translated into votes on the day of the election. we appreciate your time this morning. we look forward to an answer to some of those questions. he will make you

wait until 11 o‘clock. those questions. he will make you wait until 11 o'clock. that will be afair wait until 11 o'clock. that will be a fair assessment. that is not wait any longerfor carol. a fair assessment. that is not wait any longer for carol. this picture tells a story. rain on the horizon but for some of us, some sunshine. we have both of those elements. a mild start. it could be described as mudgee. between about 15 and 17 celsius. across northern england, southern scotland. a few rogue showers across east anglia. they will tend to fade but the rain won‘t. it‘s quite murky across the south—west of england, generally. getting up through parts of cheshire into lancashire and eventually cumbria. 0r northern ireland, some showery outbreaks of rain. it‘s the same across the north—west of scotland. we will see that rain rattled through quite quickly. the

maximum temperatures will be a couple of hours. north—east england, fairly cloudy. yes, there is quite a bit of cloud around but some of us are starting with some sunshine. they will clear and many parts of the south—east will stay dry. it‘s going to feel quite oppressive. in through the midlands, the odd heavy burst. quite quickly, the rain moves across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures here, between 17 and 19. locally, in the south—east, we could hit 25. that could challenge a previous highest temperature of the year which was the ninth of april, 25.5 in cambridge. 0vernight, this band of rain. moving across the channel islands and some of that will be heavy. it‘s going to be not so cold

but not as oppressive as it is further south. heavy and prolonged reign as we go through the day. moving away from that, bright spells and a few showers. temperatures in the sunshine, pleasant enough. again, in the south—east, 23, 24. that is likely to turn more thundery as we go through the latter part of the day and into wednesday overnight and it eventually clears away on to the continent, leaving thursday with a mixture of sunshine and showers but some of the showers on thursday could well be heavy. we will watch out for it. thank you very much indeed. retired engineer sionjair claims

retired engineer sion jair claims he climbs the old man of coniston every day. that is enough. sionjair is coping with the symptoms of alzheimer‘s disease and hopes keeping active will keep it that bay to longer. come rain or shine and days don‘t come much wetter than this, you will find sionjair in his beloved maitland bells. years ago, he was diagnosed with alzheimer‘s but walking these mountains helps you manage this condition. it's keeping my brain ticking over, for a start, because it‘s getting oxygen around the brain cells of the left, if you like, and that is enabling me to feel psychologically lot better and also helping me to feel as though i have still got something that i can do and cope with on a day—to—day basis and so long as i can keep

doing this, coming out and enjoying the countryside, and the physical activity as well. i‘m not worried about the diagnosis of alzheimer‘s, so about the diagnosis of alzheimer‘s, so much. sion jair tells me he is not afraid of death but is concerned about the impact is failing health will have on those closest to him, especially his partner.” will have on those closest to him, especially his partner. i don't want to, you know, change my character and be responsible for how that might affect people like wendy, for example, and other people around me who are trying to help. that‘s what worries me more than my own destiny, if you like. drying out in the pub, sion tells me how he is anxious to share his intimate knowledge of the fells while he still can. something ican explain fells while he still can. something i can explain and teach and while i still can pass it on and the ultimate aim is to give people the

confidence individually to go out into these kind of areas in weather like this or are they find themselves caught out. he is well aware that dementia is changing him, sometimes affecting his personality but is well as the mountains, he has wendy for support. and it's much harder if you are at home because your mood tends to drop quite to magically to the point where if you can‘t motivate himself to do the exercises, he will reallyjust go to bed orfall exercises, he will reallyjust go to bed or fall asleep. there exercises, he will reallyjust go to bed orfall asleep. there is a market change so the more he goes up the mountains and keeps walking, the better for his well—being, his mental health in particular. he doesn‘t think plan too far ahead, taking life just one day at a time, but he is determined to prove to himself and to others that such a devastating diagnosis does not mean his life is over. far from devastating diagnosis does not mean

his life is over. farfrom it. we will also be talking later on about particular types of physical exercise which can help with dementia. we need to keep practising. time to get some news, travel and weather. back in a few minutes. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m claudia—liza armah. a second teenager‘s been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17—year—old boy in walthamstow.

they later admitted killing two others. they buried four of their victims on saddleworth moor — but keith bennett‘s body was never found. 0ur correspondentjudith moritz joins us now from ashworth hospital where brady was getting palliative care. you‘ve been following this story for some time, what sense did you get of who ian brady really was? ina in a lusty minutes, we heard from greater manchester police? —— in the last few minutes. yes. they say that gnp will never close this case. the outstanding information which they still so badly want is the location of the body of keith bennett. the

only one of brady‘s a child victims whose remains were never found. greater manchester police say hardly a week goes by without information coming forwards from people. ultimately, only two people, brady and myra hindley, nowhere he years. that, very sadly, is a piece of information that ian brady has taken to his great. i can tell you that having met keith bennett‘s mother winniejohnson, just having met keith bennett‘s mother winnie johnson, just before having met keith bennett‘s mother winniejohnson, just before she died, that agony that he put her through by murdering her son but also failing to tell her where he was, he she hoped he went to hell because he had put her through hell. the word from greater manchester

police, a statement, they will never close the moors murderers case and ian brady‘s death does not change that. jeremy corbyn will unveil the labour party general election manifesto today calling it a "radical and responsible" plan for government. a draft version of the document was leaked last week. in it was a commitment to nationalise the railways. the bbc now understands the final version will also include a pledge to nationalise the water industry. mr corbyn will say his plans are fully costed, but the details won‘t be revealed until later. the leader of plaid cymru, leanne wood, has told breakfast that if elected, her party‘s mps will defend wales during the brexit negotiations. the party will launch its manifesto later today, saying it wants the welsh government to have a say on any future trade deal. 0ur correspondent tomos morgan is in the rhonnda valley for us. tomos, what are leanne wood‘s ambitions from this election. she was quite bullish when speaking

to sally earlier ron in this programme. earlier on. leanne wood, the leader of plaid cymru has warned that an increased tory mandate will do its worst for wales. five key points coming out of this manifesto launched later today. the first being to protect wales‘s economy and also she will try and make sure that every penny wales gets from europe will come from westminster. she was to build hospitals, schools and roads and railroads here. new holes and social ca re rescu e railroads here. new holes and social ca re rescue plan railroads here. new holes and social care rescue plan but also this free trade shield. this is a way that the devolved nations will have some kind of say in the deal, the brexit deal. leanne wood outlined that plaid

cymru is the only choice for wales. we will fight for wales, we will defend wales, we will do whatever we can to make sure that wales is in the strongest position at all times. we face many threats now so it makes perfect sense. the conservatives, theresa may, is now the leader of the national party of england, effectively. the snp had a strong voice of scotland. what about wales? are we going to continue to vote for labour mps are we going to continue to vote for labourmps and are we going to continue to vote for labour mps and continue to get the same results? or will we labour mps and continue to get the same results? 0rwill we do something different and elect plaid cymru mps? currently, plaid cymru hold three seats in westminster. they gained three councillors in the local election last week in their target is to gain an extra six in the next general election injune. good to speak to you this morning. people setting up new businesses will get help with their living costs, if the liberal democrats are elected to government. the party will introduce

distance. and it isjust a warmup. the party started on friday. the one thing missing is that trophy. a match that had everything. john terry — who is leaving at the end of the season, even scored their opener. watford though pulled them back from three one down. but cesc fabregas popped up with two minutes remaining to make it four three for chelsea. and that was league victory number 29, equals the club record for number of wins in a premier league season. if i could have written my story and my life, kind of how it panned out, this is how it would have been, to be honest.

to have been crowned champions and to have left the football club in great hands, with the manager and the players we have here, as well. so it is going to be a really sad and emotional day for me next week, it really is. i have been there 22 years, which is a long time, and i have had great experiences and opportunities at the football club. pep guardiola said he would have been sacked if he had ended the season without a trophy. he said they are not yet guaranteed a top four premier league finish with just two games to play. i win nothing to defend. in six months, do the wind, you are defend. in six months, do the wind, you a re really defend. in six months, do the wind, you are really out. if not, they don‘t give your second chance. here,

they give second chance, i will try to do it. i‘m out. sure, definitely. the clubs before, i‘m not here. but here, second chance, we will try to do better than that season. yesterday we showed you the send off at tottenham leaving their home ground after 118 years. well they‘ve wasted no time in demolishing the place. the pitch has gone. the seats ripped up. sunday‘s victory over manchester united a distant memory. they‘re redeveloping teh site for a new stadium, which should be ready for the 2018/19 season. roger federer has pulled out of the french open and will skip the clay court season all together. he says he‘s not injured but the eighteen—time major winner wants to concentrate on the grass and hard court season which starts in june. at wimbledon he could win major number 19. maria sharapova is guaranteed a place in the qualifying competition for wimbledon, after she won herfirst—round match in the italian 0pen.

she beat christine mchale. after being given a wildcard to play in rome as she continues her return from a 15—month drugs ban. if she reaches the semi—finals then she‘ll qualify automatically for wimbledon‘s main draw. and finally, you know how there are some people in the office who like to keep their birthday under wraps, and a little low key. a little problematic if you‘re the best tennis player in the world. a warning there‘s some flash photography coming up. andy murray is due to start the defence his italian open title today — a day after turning the ripe old age of 30. he was greeted at his hotel by staff — who knew all the words in english to happy birthday! it probably happens every time he goes into a hotel. i guess it is ha rd to goes into a hotel. i guess it is hard to keep your birthday under wraps if you are the world ‘s best tennis player. even if you wanted to keep things quite, a bit tricky. he handled that really well because he looked a little bit mortified and not quite ready for it. shall we hear from not quite ready for it. shall we hearfrom him? not quite ready for it. shall we hear from him? genuinely, i had no

idea. really appreciate it. it‘s quite embarrassing when all of the attention is on you i did was nice that they made the cake & me happy birthday so much appreciated. who wouldn‘t appreciate it? who doesn‘t love a ca ke ? wouldn‘t appreciate it? who doesn‘t love a cake? the doesn‘t like being the centre of attention for anything other than his tennis, does he? everybody at home. i‘m going to start talking for this next bit because you have an important... i'll because you have an important... i‘ll explain that, shall i? not randomly get your kit off. we are talking about a serious thing, blood pressure. you can be a risk of all sorts of problems. heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease are just some of the health problems caused by high blood pressure, but new research suggests as many as two out of five people in the uk haven‘t had theirs checked for over a year. so why is it important? tony heagerty, professor of medicine at manchester university,

and louise gillard who has high blood pressure are here this morning. that will do, that will do. i‘m reaching across luis and i‘m applying the calf and this is a semiautomatic device. you can purchase these quite cheaply and we can purchase these quite cheaply and we ca n wrest purchase these quite cheaply and we can wrest the arm down. hopefully it is all right. take a deep rack and relax. this takes about a minute —— deep rath. when did you first discover you had high blood pressure? 23, very young. in my induction at the gym, they we re in my induction at the gym, they were checking everything and they

told me i couldn't carry on at the gym until i have seen a gp because my blood pressure was through the roof. i didn't really think anything of it. i was early 20s, normal weight, didn't smoke, had no risk factors. i went to see my gp who sent me to a cardiologist. they discovered i had a congenial heart defect since birth. and is basically a ticking time bomb for a stroke. defect since birth. and is basically a ticking time bomb for a strokem there something you could do?” a ticking time bomb for a strokem there something you could do? i had open heart surgery to correct the defect which was obviously a big shock at h. —— at that age. i now that medication. i look after my south, diet exercise. i'm so thankful. the life expectancy with

what i had was ten and i got to 23. yes. very lucky. tell me what the numbers mean, de. you have one for 6/90 six. —— numbers mean, de. you have one for 6/90 six. -- 146 numbers mean, de. you have one for 6/90 six. —— 146 over 96. you are on the telly. i think we can be fairly confident that will settle into the normal rage if we did more. it's com pletely normal rage if we did more. it's completely fine. —— range. you can go intoa completely fine. —— range. you can go into a dock to surgery and have your blood pressure taken on the red so your blood pressure taken on the red so farand it your blood pressure taken on the red so far and it can be high because you are just so far and it can be high because you arejust a so far and it can be high because you are just a little bit on edge and you are thinking about it. ——

sofa. we need to find people who have genuinely high blood pressure, not those who get nervous when they getting it read. a lot of people really enjoy getting it read at home and make it much lower readings than what we do in the office. but louise is testament to the fact that most people don‘t know that they have high blood pressure. you don't feel any different? i had no symptoms. in terms of the checks you can get at the nhs, when you hit the age of 40, is there an assessment that happens at that age? no upper most people go to the gp surgery with some abnormality and people will take the opportunity of taking it at that time. when you get it older, you get the checks. what we‘re doing at the moment is this main measurement month in conjunction with the international society of hypertension. that is taking place in100 hypertension. that is taking place in 100 countries and are aiming to

scream 4 million people and we anticipating we will get high numbers of people who didn‘t know they had it. —— screen. there are a lot of lifestyle things you can do, you can lose weight, reduced salt content you can lose weight, reduced salt co nte nt of you can lose weight, reduced salt content of your daily diet. that might be my issue. there is a real problem with alcohol. if you drink a bit too much. you are smiling at me. if you drink a bit too much, the national recommendation, that can reasonably pressure as well. do some lifestyle changes as well but there are tablets, of course. they are remarkably free of side effects and people can take them on a daily basis. they have got to remember it is not a disease that makes you feel unwell. it is preventative medication medication. there are 70,000 heart attack deaths every year. 40,000 streets. if we found

the blood pressures of all the people, we would produce all that by 60,000. -- people, we would produce all that by 60,000. —— strokes. that understanding and knowledge of high blood pressure has saved your life. 20 years down the line, i have had children, a very active life style. had children, a very active lifestyle. it's good to hear. thank you both. can i put myjacket back on? you‘d better get dressed now. let us go to carol. we need some weather. i‘ll take my time, then. good morning. this morning, a wide range of weather. got some rain, some showers. that combination, more or less holds too dependent on where you are. we‘ve also got a rain

coming in across the south—west. and one of two showers across parts of the south—east. this band of rain will continue across wales and northern england. cloud building ahead of it. another band of rain, showery rain. also quite a breezy day. by the afternoon, the rain in the south—west will be drifting steadily towards the east, moving through devon and somerset and in wales, 12 showers behind, with hill fog and for northern ireland, you could say goodbye and hello to the sunshine. across scotland, showery outbreaks of rain moving from the west to the east. it will feel quite pleasant. as we sink south towards northern england, most of the rain

heading towards the north sea. we are looking at a largely dry afternoon. a fair bit of sunshine. it will feel particularly muggy. another look at the temperatures. if it reaches anything higher than 25, it reaches anything higher than 25, it will make it the warmest day of the year so far. it‘s probably not usually likely. behind it, in pressure conditions, it will feel rather nice. through this evening and overnight, the rain rejuvenates. some of that will be heavy, possibly the odd rumble of thunder. a few showers and fresher, still quite muqqy showers and fresher, still quite muggy in the south. tomorrow, we pick up the band of rain and it will cut through the course of the day. some of that could prove to be quite thundery. the south—east feeling particularly muggy. behind that

weather front, sunshine and showers and a fresh appeal. dan and sally, i hope you are dressed. that was plenty of time, thank you.” hope you are dressed. that was plenty of time, thank you. i have sorted myself out, thank you for the extra long weather. we always have time for more weather. always. living costs for families across the uk have been going up in recent years, and later this morning we‘ll get official figures which will show us whether it‘s going to be the same this year. ben‘s at a dairy farm near cardiff finding out why more businesses and consumers are feeling squeezed. when this is all going to take place? no pressure. maybe get round to that of the bit later. they are making you are making this morning. we are in south wales talking about the cost of living. 180 dairy cows on this farm. around 6000 pints of milk every single day. but prices are going up. good morning. plenty

of work still to do here this morning that we‘ve been talking about prices going up and it means prices are going up for you as well whether that is feed for the animals, fuel for the tractors. prices are definitely going up. the price of red diesel up. a few prices by £40. it‘s quite a considerable task on us to stay ahead of them. you are resident —— relatively cushioned. you have a deal in place which means you don‘t build quite so much pressure. we are part of 1096 of dairy farmers which other supermarket contract and this will pay us according to our costs so it will give us a fair reflection of the goods that we are buying and selling. if prices continue to rise, what does it mean? it‘s hard to pass on costs to consumers because we are used to cheap prices. the uk's main

good at making —— is good at making sure prices are affordable for families with food. it‘s about more fairness for the supply chain. but when food is being sold at a certain level, it is reflected back to the farm gate because we all have to survive, every business has to survive. we all need our fare cuts. i want to introduce you to katie. good morning. we had the effect on farmers. there is also the effect on families. we are feeling a bit worse off, aren‘t we? families. we are feeling a bit worse off, aren't we? a lot of the data has shown that wages are stagnating on the one hand but prices are rising on the other. that will affect a lot of people. that effect and that squeeze is acute for people on low incomes and that‘s for a couple of reasons. low income households spend more of the little money they have on essentials. £1 in every six they have in feeding the

family is when prices go up, they feel it and not only are they finding wages are stagnating but also the benefits that people rely on, either because they can‘t work of our low—paid and they are relying on benefits to top up their wages, those benefits are frozen and those three things together mean families who are just getting by at the moment will find it tougher and may find themselves tipping over into poverty. we all need to buy food. is there a way to avoid it? what we need to do is make sure people are equipped to deal with them. whoever wins the next election need to make sure the freeze on benefits is lifted and in the longer term people who can improve their prospects and get on with work, that we can rebalance the economy and wages are rising. very good to talk to you. of course, the headline rate of inflation and you heard it there, it affects everybody in a different way. that is the average, of course.

wages are only going up by about 2%. that is the 0.3% where we feel worse off. less money in real terms so we might start to feel the squeeze. we are going to be here all morning. we will meet a few of these girls later andi will meet a few of these girls later and i will leave you with the thought of quite how it smells down here this morning. then, i think they are ignoring you currently. that is a subtle sign. something i said, clearly. it was lovely to hear from katie but it‘s more indication, you are a massive human. you dwarfed are quite spectacularly, poor katie. katie, how tall are you? katie is five foot two, i am 6—foot six, so there was a bit of a difference. can you bring her in. magnificent. thank

you bring her in. magnificent. thank you very much. ijust thought then was on stilts. it is a bit like gandalf and bilbo. think about all the businesses now you have to create rosettes. they are working frantically hard. there we are. that is our bbc breakfast rosettes. it is being squashed. it is red and orange, the bbc breakfast colours. i like that. pin matt dea jacket. jane has been along to meet the people who meet —— making these. do you remember when you heard about the election and what you thought? yeah, but you can‘t transmit it. i won't repeat what i thought. it was announced at 11:15, something like that, and ijust sat and thought, oh my god. god, how much work

have we got to do? they‘re one of the biggest rosette manufacturers in the country. lots of experience but no experience of a snap general election. pressure, pressure, an 0mg moment, is it here. more, more, more! yes. now, kat, is that order going today? no. no?! big boss david wallace is a bit excited by the whole thing. you‘ve got a bit of a push on? we certainly have. i can‘t believe it! where‘s this come from? the busiest time of our traditional season, the politicians decide to throw this one into the mix. we don‘t know what day of the week it is at the moment! their traditional season ties in to all those wonderful british traditions. whether it is a rosette to adorn a prize cow, a horse which can reallyjump,

a best in show dog, the best in league teams but rosettes have always been a feature of the campaign trail, associated of course with party colours but also with winning. but the running time this time is a little, well, short of time. with just a few weeks‘ notice, they are likely to produce 50,000 rosettes here. they are used to at least three months‘ notice. so, no sick leave, no holidays? no, no, not allowed to be sick. we‘re to bring the intravenous drips and everything else in with us. is there time to think about who you‘re going to vote for? in all honesty, no, i haven't had time, no! so they are bagged up, boxed up and ready to hit the campaign trail. a few miles away, at their ribbon suppliers, the mood is similarly stressed. change the plan. drop everything! drop everything, change the plan. re—plan.

we knew the pressure would be on. cole‘s fabrics have been weaving for over 100 year. this will be their 10th snap election, but certainly not their last rosette order. it is quite an antiquated product, isn‘t it? it‘s quite old fashioned. is it going to see its day? i don‘t think it‘s old—fashioned, i think it‘s a great product. there was a lot of football rosettes worn. people, in those days, used to pin on a rosette and have a football raffle. ok, that changed, football shirts, advertising, etc, etc. i can‘t see the same being true of political parties. they like rosettes, they like awards. showing a rosette has got something prestigious about it. perhaps a rosette says winning in a way a common tin badge never could do. now, ijust have to think of a manifesto. 0i, back to work, you lot! if she did have a manifesto, which

he tell us about it? you will have to wait until 11 o‘clock. it reminds us of all the work that goes into these little things. the bbc brea kfast these little things. the bbc breakfast rosettes. news, travel and weather where you are. see you soon. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m claudia—liza armah. a second teenager‘s been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 17—year—old boy in walthamstow. elijah dornelly was stabbed to death on the high street last weekend. seven teenagers have been fatally stabbed this year. the us investment bank, jp morgan has bought a new office in dublin, a building which could take on hundreds of london workers, following the brexit vote. it‘s after the chief executive of its corporate and investment bank earlier this month said up to a thousand jobs would move from the capital in a bid to secure its european business before the uk leaves the eu.

rail passengers on off—peak southeastern services are facing higher fares from 21 may. campaigners described the move as "an appallingly high—handed way to treat passengers". the rail operator said is increasing its fares by 3.4% or 10p, whichever is the greatest. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. good service on the tubes. rails, because of a points failure at selhurst depot trains through norwood junction may have some delays. in westminster: roadworks continue on parliament square. there‘s a no right turn from great george street. ruislip: high street closed northbound near the station. let‘s have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it‘s a very warm start out there this morning so lots of humid air very muggy and sticky.

the moors murderer, ian brady, has died at ashworth high secure hospital, on merseyside. he had been on hunger strike but force—fed for many years, as he was deemed to be mentally ill. these drawings are from the last time he was seen in public, at a hearing four years ago. he died shortly after 6pm last night. ian brady was a petty criminal who grew up in glasgow. he met myra hindley in manchester. the couple started a relationship, and brady led her into a world of sadism. an outwardly normal couple, they became serial killers, murdering children. when ian brady and myra hindley were arrested, they said nothing, challenging detectives to prove their guilt. they remained silent even when police had found three children‘s bodies in shallow graves on saddleworth moor. until her death in 2002, his accomplice blamed him. in the 1980s, the two killers made full confessions, and went back to the moors to help search for other victims.

pauline reade‘s body was eventually recovered, but keith bennett‘s grave has never been found. i wanted one of them to come up with the truth, so i could nail the two of them, nail them for the rest of their life, like they nailed me down. i wanted them prosecuted for keith‘s death. his mother, winnie johnson, died in 2012, never knowing where her son was buried. ian brady‘s sadistic crimes shocked the nation, and will be recorded as among the most infamous ever seen in britain. 0ur correspondentjudith moritz joins us now from ashworth hospital, joins us now from ashworth hospital. you‘ve been following this story for some time — and greater manchester police have spoken? yes, they say they do not

wa nt to spoken? yes, they say they do not want to give him the time, they say their thoughts are with the families. but they went on to say that not a week goes by when they do not get people coming forward with information, as they put it, the porting to tell them the whereabouts of keith bennett‘s body, the last of those five children who was never discovered on saddleworth moor. greater manchester police say they get information all the time and they will never close this case. ian brady‘s death does not change that for them. they say they are not actively searching saddleworth moor at the moment but they will never close the case. and i can tell you that that will be welcomed by the families of brady‘s victims, i met winniejohnsonjust families of brady‘s victims, i met winniejohnson just before she died, and it had tormented her, the loss of her son come the way he was so brutally murdered, and the fact that ian brady never revealed where his remains were. that is something that he has taken to his grave. in a few minutes, we‘ll speak to a lawyer who worked

with the family of one of brady‘s victims. jeremy corbyn will today unveil the labour party general election manifesto, calling it a "radical and responsible" plan for government. a draft version of the document was leaked last week, including commitments to strengthen trade union rights and nationalise the railways. the bbc now understands the final version will also include a pledge to nationalise the water industry. there will be a promise to provide 30 hours of free childcare for all two— to four—year—olds, around 1.3 million children. companies paying staff more than £330,000 will have to pay a surcharge in a move designed to reduce pay inequality. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in bradford, where the manifesto will be launched. iain, any update on how these policies will be paid for? we were speaking tojohn mcdonnell earlier, who said that all would be revealed at 11 o‘clock. but it is

certainly going to be interesting to see how much is promised and how it will be costed ? see how much is promised and how it will be costed? there's certainly a lot of promises, aren‘t there? labour is committing itself to some pretty big ticket items are. the latest lea k, pretty big ticket items are. the latest leak, quite appropriately i suppose, was about the water industry and we nationalisation. labour would have to buy back the shares, potentially, in orderto labour would have to buy back the shares, potentially, in order to do that. other writings, abolishing tuition fees in england. as you were saying, john mcdonnell was asked how he was going to pay this, and although he was tight—lipped, he did give us a few clues. as you will see later on, we will set out the details, it is only a few hours' time when we will publish the costings. we are asking people to pay a little bit more who are the highest earners, and in terms of the others, 95%, the middle and lower earners, will be protected. what we are trying to do is establish a fair syste m are trying to do is establish a fair system as well. so what i think we

are expecting to see with that 95% is that people paying more than £80,000 will probably be asked to start paying tax at 45p in the pound above that level. but we will have that confirmed. we are probably seeing the biggest golf between government and opposition in a generation, certainly the most radical choice on offer to the electorate i think in about 30 yea rs. and you will be able to see coverage of that on the bbc news channel throughout the day. plaid cymru will also launch its manifesto today, promising to make the best of brexit for wales. the party‘s promising to invest in hospitals, schools and roads, and will pledge to ensure european grants to wales are replaced by westminster. plaid‘s leader leanne wood wants the welsh government to have a say on any post—brexit trade deal. people setting up new businesses will get help with their living costs, if the liberal democrats are elected to government.

the party will introduce its business programme with a pledge to introduce a £100—a—week allowance to help entrepreneurs in the first six months of a new business venture. leader tim farron will say the conservatives are focusing on helping big business and not small start—ups. the white house is denying president trump shared national security secrets with the russian foreign minister during his visit to the us last week. the washington post claims he gave sergei lavrov intelligence about so—called islamic state. 0ur reporter david willis has more. the meeting itself was controversial enough, coming just a day after the president fired his fbi director over an ongoing investigation into campaign links to russia. now the washington post is reporting that, in the course of their discussions, the president disclosed classified information that could jeopardise a crucial source of intelligence on so—called islamic state, revealing, it is alleged,

not only the specifics of an is plot, which is thought to centre on the use of laptop computers on aircraft, but the city from which that threat was detected. the nature of the information that the president provided to the russians would allow them, if they — would allow the russians to reverse—engineer, essentially, that information, to discover the sources and methods. in other words, he said so much that one could figure it out. once the meeting was over, the white house reportedly called senior intelligence chiefs to warn them of what happened. it now finds itself embroiled in a far larger damage—limitation exercise, prompting administration officials to flatly deny the allegations are true. at no time, at no time, were intelligence sources or methods discussed, and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. that the president might have shared classified information with america‘s prime adversary is causing concern, even amongst his staunchest allies.

the leaders of the main nurses‘ union say a fall in the number of full—time school nurses in england could be putting children‘s health at risk. the royal college of nursing also says there has been a 16% reduction in the past seven years. they‘re also highlighting a reduction in the number of health visitors. one of picasso‘s best—known portraits has been sold at auction in new york for £35 million. the painting, named seated woman in blue dress, features one of his many partners, dora maar. the work was nearly lost to the nazis during the second world war, but was saved by french resistance fighters. he painted it in 1939. he was 58 at

the time and she was 31. the thing i am concerned about, she does not look good for 31, in the picture. am concerned about, she does not look good for 31, in the picturem he gave that to you and said, here you are, darling, if it wasn‘t picasso, you would be a bit upset. but it was picasso. yeah, very flattering. ian brady and myra hindley were both sentenced to life in prison in 1966, but they continued to torment the families of their victims from behind bars. winnie johnson, the mother of keith bennett, pleaded with brady for help finding her son‘s body. she died in 2012, and it has still not been found. david kirwan met brady twice to try and persuade him to give up that last secret. hejoins us now. we mentioned, you met him on a

couple of occasions. what do you remember about those meetings? we we re remember about those meetings? we were speaking earlier, i—mate winnie johnson on a couple of occasions before she died, and she always felt that brady was using those meetings asa that brady was using those meetings as a tool to keep a bit of power? well, i think you can best describe it as well, i think you can best describe itasa well, i think you can best describe it as a bargaining chip. when it came to discussing the whereabouts of keith and finding the whereabouts of keith and finding the whereabouts of his body, he agreed to meet me, and then the meetings i had with him we re and then the meetings i had with him were about him attempting to use the meeting as a arginine chip, to try to get himself out of ashworth, where he was being force—fed, and to try to get him back into the prison system, where he wanted to die.”

try to get him back into the prison system, where he wanted to die. i am curious to know, having met him, how do you walk away from that meeting without in some way being scarred by it, have you felt that? that was quite extreme. 0ne that was quite extreme. one of the things that really stands out in my memory is when we walked into the room where he was, he was in his trademark long black coat with his sunglasses, smoking but he didn‘t face us. there was no eye contact. he sat at right angles to us and that, i discussed with my wife who had accompanied me afterwards was we thought showing us that he was dominating the meeting and it would be done on his decisions and it would be conducted how he wanted it. we were speaking to a former bbc correspondent who corresponded with brady on numerous occasions and he said he never read the letters from various family members because from his point of view you could

interpret it to say that brady didn‘t want to go back and look over what he had done in the past and maybe you could interpret there was an element of remorse there. would you ever agree with that? no. i wouldn‘t. i can only talk of my knowledge what we all read in the papers, but also meeting with him andi papers, but also meeting with him and i think he was completely devoid of all remorse. that‘s what the judge said at his trial in 1966, devoid of remorse completely. and the impact of his decision, choice, whatever it was, not to reveal the location of keith‘s body had on his family, on the bennett family, it was just awful, wasn‘t it? family, on the bennett family, it wasjust awful, wasn't it? it was terrible and that‘s one of my greatest professional regrets that i wasn‘t able to help winnie gain that closure, that closure that was so vital to her as a parent. closure, that closure that was so vitalto her as a parent. she closure, that closure that was so vital to her as a parent. she wanted to find him to give him a christian burial? yes. i read a hand-out by

the greater manchester police who we re the greater manchester police who were extremely helpful at the time in facilitating my visits to brady. i understand they don‘t want to make any comment about it, but i think the victims, all five victims, need to be remembered and particularly keith bennet, who was neverfund. found. even though winnie johnson passed away it affects the family and members of keith bennet‘s family are up on saddleworth moor searching for his bad? body? it's very sad that he has gone to the grave with that he has gone to the grave with that important secret. you talk the power. it may have bnt case they actually didn‘t know anymore, he didn‘t have the information? actually didn‘t know anymore, he didn't have the information? well, i can only tell you from my experience and meeting with him and i am almost convinced he knew. he dropped hints during the times we talked about. i asked him specifically do you know where the body is if you went back to the moors? he said sarcastically

when i did go back in 1987 i took the police almost over his grave and they didn‘t know they had bungled it. that was a bizarre thing to say. and it convinced that in fact he did know. it's infuriating, isn't it? yes. thank you very much for coming on and talking about it and thank you for your time on bbc breakfast. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. it‘s mixed fortunes. this picture shows there is quite a bit of cloud around. notjust where we we re bit of cloud around. notjust where we were in northamptonshire, but yorkshire. again a fair bit of cloud, but in the channel islands a beautiful picture from st helier. but there are showers nearby. if you‘re just but there are showers nearby. if you‘rejust stepping but there are showers nearby. if you‘re just stepping out, but there are showers nearby. if you‘rejust stepping out, it‘s muggy. temperatures are widely 18 to 19 celsius across central and eastern parts of the uk. move to the west and they‘re lower. we‘re

looking at 13 and 14 celsius and here is where we have a lot of cloud and rain extending into northern england this. is what has been happening in the last few hours, the showers gone from the south east and east anglia. this band of rain will continue to migrate south—east wards. there will be sunshine and it will feel muggy. it is a breezy day with the showery rain across northern ireland and scotland. quite quickly rattling off in the direction of the north sea leaving behind it sunshine and showers. as the rain clears from cornwall, there will be a lot of low cloud and murky conditions with the rain across devon, somerset and into gloucestershire. also across wales, we lose the rain, but still dank conditions. some hill fog as well, but for northern ireland, you say goodbye to the showery rain and hello to the sunshine and it‘s the same across scotland. we‘ve got a mixture of sunshine and showers around the moray firth for example. it will be pleasant in the sunshine. across northern england, well here is the rain continuing to push south—east wards. so behind it, we‘ve got a mixture of bright

spells, sunshine and showers. as we head into east anglia and kent, it will feel sticky. to prove the point, the maximum temperature we could reach today is 25 celsius. but move behind where we have our weather front with that rain and there is a fresher feel to the weather. it will be mild and warm, depending where you are with 15 to 17 celsius. 0vernight, we have our weather front but it will rejuvenate, there is more energy pumping up across the weather front. some heavier bursts of rain. for northern england and northern ireland, a fresher feel to the night. muggy in the south. so we start that with muggy or oppressive weather first thing. the start that with muggy or oppressive weatherfirst thing. the rain start that with muggy or oppressive weather first thing. the rain turns patchy for a time and then it rejuvenates bringing heavier bursts across the channel islands and england. tomorrow there is the potential for us to reach 24 celsius around the london area. you can see the fresher conditions behind

already and we‘re looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. 0vernight, wednesday into thursday morning, that band of rain continues to push off into the north sea. some of it will be heavy and thundery. so if you have been dying for it for your garden, you‘re in luck. a day of sunshine and showers. temperatures down. friday is also going to be a day of sunshine and showers, dan and sal. thank you very much. so bristol for you tomorrow and carol... and steph. we've got a brea kfast treat carol... and steph. we've got a breakfast treat for you as well. go on. you'll have to watch tomorrow. carol is shaking her head. it‘s not going to be nice in bristol, is it? i prefer sal's forecast, it will be wet and chilly, sue. dan, take your vest! figures out later this morning are expected to show the cost

of living is continuing to rise. ben is at a dairy farm near cardiff. he‘s taking a look at why more businesses are feeling squeezed. i thought you were going to be milking a cow! good morning. we‘re trying to find the cows, every time we set—up, the cows move. we‘ll try and find them for you later! we‘re in south wales because we‘re talking about the cost of living. it‘s going up once again. it has been going up for a while and we get the latest official figures later and it‘s interesting because it‘s the cost of living for all of us so it‘s the cost of living for all of us so it means, oh, if i can get around the gate, it‘s costing us more and we‘re feeling a squeeze in our pockets because wages are not keeping up either because we‘re currently seeing that prices are rising by 2.3%, but wages are going up rising by 2.3%, but wages are going up by rising by 2.3%, but wages are going up byjust rising by 2.3%, but wages are going up by just 2%. rising by 2.3%, but wages are going up byjust 2%. so it means there is a gap. it means there is a gap and it means that in our pocket we‘re feeling worse off. in real terms, it isa feeling worse off. in real terms, it is a pay cut. the bank of england

warned us we should expect prices to carry on rising. they could reach 2.8% by the end of the year and that‘s the worry because we‘ll start feeling the squeeze and it might mean we‘ll change our habit, maybe we‘ll go out less and spend less at the supermarket and less on nights out. we have been talking about what it means for producers. they have seen it means for producers. they have seen prices go up. the feed for the cattle has gone up and the price of red diesel and they might have to pass on extra costs to consumers and that means that prices rise at the supermarket. inflation will be a big issue at the election. it will be something that affects the way we live and how much money we‘ve got in our pocket and when we get that figure this morning at 9.30am, it will be worth to see if it continued to rise. the current figure is 2.3%. the cows have aid rived. they have beenin the cows have aid rived. they have been in the milking shed. so we‘re making some friends down on the farm

this morning. studio: thank you, ben. see you later on. retired engineer sion jair climbs the old man of coniston in the lake district every day, notjust to keep his body active, but also his mind. sion is coping with the symptoms of alzheimer‘s disease, and hopes staying active will keep it at bay for longer. breakfast‘s john maguire joined him on one of his daily climbs. come rain or shine and days don‘t come much wetter than this, you‘ll find sionjair on his beloved lakeland fells. four years ago he was diagnosed with alzheimer‘s, but walking these mountains every single day helps him manage his condition. it‘s keeping my brain ticking over for a start because it‘s getting oxygen around the brain cells of the left, if you like, and that‘s enabling me to feel psychologically a lot better and it‘s also helping me to feel as though i have still got something that i can do and cope with on a day—to—day basis and so long as i can keep doing this, coming out to the moutains and enjoying the countryside,

and the physical activity as well. i‘m not worried about the diagnosis of alzheimer‘s so much. sion tells me he‘s not afraid of death but is concerned about the impact is failing health will have on those closest to him, especially his partner. i don‘t want to, you know, change my character and be responsible for how that might affect people like wendy, for example, and other people around me who are trying to help. that‘s what worries me more than my own destiny, if you like. drying out in the pub, sion tells me how he‘s anxious to share his intimate knowledge of the fells while he still can. while i‘ve still got the stability to be able to explain and teach something that i‘ve been doing for years then i will do that and pass it on and the ultimate

aim is to give people the confidence individually to go out into these kind of areas in weather like this and if they find themselves caught out in weather like we‘ve had today, they can find their way around. he‘s well aware that dementia is changing him, sometimes affecting his personality, but as well as the mountains, he has wendy for support. it‘s much harder if you‘re at home because your mood tends to drop quite dramatically to the point where if he can‘t motivate himself to do the exercises, he will reallyjust maybe go to bed or fall asleep. it‘s a marked change so the more he goes up the mountains and keeps walking, the better for his wellbeing, his mental health in particular. he doesn‘t think or plan too far ahead, taking life just one day at a time, but he‘s determined to prove to himself and to others that such a devastating diagnosis does not mean his life is over — far from it.

it's it‘s lovely to see sion and wendy. i hope they enjoy their walk today. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. ripples of rain running up into the south—west of england and wales. for scotla nd south—west of england and wales. for scotland and northern ireland, some showers will move through, introducing brighter and fresher weather. even i will swear, it‘s going to be quite warm and muggy. this weather front will be ready in some heavy bursts. under clear skies, it will be quite...

there will be a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them could be quite heavy and places. at the weekend, it could be slightly fresher for all of weekend, it could be slightly fresherfor all of us, weekend, it could be slightly fresher for all of us, some of the showers could be quite heavy. this is business life. brexit means what in the uk general election? the labour party unveils its manifesto, we will be weighing up the

arguments. the leader of the uk‘s labour party has prioritised access to the single market— we‘ll speak to business leaders to get their view on the upcoming negotiations.
