6:02 am
noticed. this is the manchester bomber salman abedi on the night he murdered 22 children, women and men. a rucksack on his back, he'd flown in from libya five days earlier. police have released this picture, its background removed, because they wa nt its background removed, because they want information about what he did in that time. day and night they've crisscrossed manchester, raiding buildings, making arrests. this was moss side yesterday. the area was cordoned off for a while with the bomb disposal team on standby. ii men are in custody and there are now i7 men are in custody and there are now 17 searches either concluded or continuing, largely in the north—west of england. police have revealed that after the bombing at 10:33pm on monday night, forensic officers went straight into examine the aftermath. within two hours they'd identified the bomber, possibly from id found on his body. they've track his movements from the
6:03 am
family home to the flat he is said to have rented before disappearing to have rented before disappearing to libya, returning on the 18th of may to move into a city centre apartment where the bomb was likely to have been assembled. they've pieced together his network, friends and relatives are in custody. there gathering financial evidence of who backed him, but crucially they now know how the bomb was put together. that will help them judge the ongoing risk of another attack. yesterday the terrorism threat level was lowered, an attack now considered highly likely but not imminent. security remains high at public events over the bank holiday weekend with soldiers expected on the streets until midnight on monday. meanwhile, the police are urging the public to remain vigilant. the parents of manchester bombing victim georgina callander have placed flowers among the tributes left in st ann's square in the city. yesterday they released balloons in memory of their 18—year—old daughter. in a statement released through
6:04 am
greater manchester police georgina's family said, "unless our government opens its eyes we know we are only another in a long line of parents on a list that continues to grow. the conservatives and labour are both vowing to improve security on britain's streets if they form the next government. theresa may is highlighting tory plans for a new body to advise on tackling extremism, whilejeremy corbyn is pledging to boost the number of police and intelligence staff. our political correspondent matt cole joins us from our london newsroom. good morning. wejust read that statement from georgina calander's pa rents, statement from georgina calander's parents, which had a clear message to it, a political message if you like and that is something the parties seem to be picking up on. very much so. it's one of the very first things politicians look to do in government, keep people safe.
6:05 am
that is something both labour and the conservatives are focusing on this morning, showcasing their offerings on security. theresa may has been writing in one of the nationally papers saying we must tackle extremism and we shouldn't be embarrassed to confront it, no matter how difficult that may seem. theresa may outlining her plans today on a commission to get rid of extremism, saying it will be a body with real teeth, a broad approach to extremism, not just with real teeth, a broad approach to extremism, notjust violent, but elsewhere, especially women, issues like female genital mutilation. the conservatives haven't explained how this will be funded, and exactly what sort of laws it will promote that the government should perhaps ta ke that the government should perhaps take up and implement. but this is the key offering from the conservatives today. labour equally have been reiterating today their campaign manifesto pledge to put 10,000 more police officers on the streets. there are also talking
6:06 am
about putting additional fire officers, additional prison officer is and today there are also talking about 1000 extra security services personnel. it is something the conservatives promised in 2015 but clearly this is the main focus of campaigning for today. thanks very much, matt cole in our newsroom this morning. the snp will today outline what it describes as a responsible plan for billions of pounds in extra public spending across the uk over the next five years. snp leader nicola sturgeon says the proposals would help the economy grow and safeguard public services. the party will release its plans in detail when it publishes its manifesto on tuesday. british airways says that british airways says it hopes to restore some normality to its services today, after yesterday's catastrophic computer failure left thousands of passengers around the world stranded. the airline says the it problems were caused by a powerfailure. our reporter sara smith is near heathrow for us this morning. sara, what's the latest? are things going to get back to
6:07 am
relative normality today? dues says some of its systems have been restored, so what they're planning on is what they call a near normal service at gatwick and a majority of flights to go here at heathrow. but there will be destruction, not least because crew and aircraft are in the wrong place and have been since everything was grounded yesterday —— disruption. thousands of passengers going on holiday, going to work meetings, some going to family gatherings, one best man was stranded yesterday, queueing for hours and stuck on planes on the tarmac and some in the airport, not knowing what was going on was part of the problem. the systems failure affected the website and the call centre so there wasn't the information. today ba say only come to the airport if you're booking is confirmed. check your flight hasn't
6:08 am
been cancelled before you come here. if your flight was cancelled yesterday you can rebook and get a refund, there may be a chance of compensation and they say they will have extra staff that their drafting in over the next few days to deal with the backlog. thanks very much and we will talk to some people affected by those delays and cancellations a bit later. tooth decay is the biggest cause of hospital admissions in england for children underfive. in a report out today, the british dentaljournal says treating dental disease costs the nhs almost 5.5 billion a year, and children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to require treatment. there in pain and that pain is caused by dental problems, so quite bad decay. they need treatment but they don't need it now and they don't need it in hospital, they need to see a dentist. the american rock musician greg allman has died. but back home you will always run to
6:09 am
sweet melissa... the 69—year—old became a star in the late sixties as part of the allman brothers band, the group he formed with his brother, duane. one of their best known songs is the 1973 hitjessica, which was used as the opening theme tune to top gear. a sheepdog who went missing with an orphaned lamb he befriended has been found after three weeks but without this companion. blake the sheepdog and bella the ewe were described as inseparable before they disappeared together from their home in nottinghamshire. their owner now says that blake has returned safe and sound but that the search for bella continues. almost 6:10 a.m., let's look at some of the front pages. the face of the manchester bomber stands out from
6:10 am
most of them this morning, this is the front of the observer, en route to blowing up 22 innocents in manchester, salman abedi. their main story, dealing with the eu to combat terror, experts tell the prime minister. this is the dominant picture on all the front pages this morning, the mail on sunday describes him as the casual killer on way to mass murder. police have blacked out others in the photograph around him. they haven't said where he was at the time the photograph was taken, they say he could have been approaching the arena and this was caught on cctv. this has just a small photograph on the front page. the sunday telegraph, ministers talk about troop listed as social media firms failing to halt terror. —— jupiter is. we hear time and time again of the plots being hatched on
6:11 am
social media. the sunday times, they have that picture, but they are focusing on the election campaign, a tightening of the polls in recent days and the times are reporting conservative campaign leaders are anxious about this, they will effectively relaunched the campaign, 7% between the conservatives and labour in the latest poll. we have about ten days left of campaigning to go. everyone has lost track of the election campaign over the last few days for obvious reasons. i will quickly look at the sun and the mirror, that same picture. i have a feeling i read somewhere it may have been taken in a lift as he went up from victoria station to manchester arena. the sunday express has an interview with theresa may. herfirst interview has an interview with theresa may. her first interview since the
6:12 am
manchester terror attack. the tory leader vows to silence the voices of extremism. it's become a political issue now. more from the papers later on. the biggest concert to take place in the uk since the manchester bomb attack was held at old trafford cricket ground last night. the courteeners, a local band with a huge following, played to 50,000 fans. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson was there. the courteeners. this gig sold out six months ago. after monday's bomb attack, the band decided it would still go ahead. their singer liam fray told me why. if this hadn't have happened, it would have sent out a really bad message, i think. people should be allowed to go and enjoy themselves without being scared. we are absolutely coming because it's what we do. it's what we love. we're not going to be deterred by anybody, or anything. i'm a married man.
6:13 am
i've got a kid and all that. but at the end the day, you've got to live your life. you know what i mean? you've got to live your life. now, this is not normal at a gig, to have armed policemen on the door. but, even with this level of security, some die—hard fans have chosen to stay away. the first time i saw courteeners it was actually at the arena. liam wilks has attended every courteeners gig in manchester since 2011, until tonight. he sold his tickets. ijust know i wouldn't enjoy it. i wouldn't be focusing on the music. i'd be focusing on if i saw anything suspicious, or... i wouldn't be listening to the music, i'd be watching everything else. but abbey and pete weren't going to let their big day be spoiled. they'd already decided to turn the gig into their wedding reception, buying 68 tickets for guests. what we do in manchester is we go to gigs. that's why we had the wedding that we've had. so, we just carry on. we're with our mates tonight, our favourite band. so, we'rejust going to do manchester proud tonight and have a big party. but tonight has also been about remembering those killed on monday.
6:14 am
i'm going to say some words that's got me through this week, and i reckon it's got you through this week. the gig was poignant but at times defiant. this is our manchester! our manchester! and the bees still buzz! cheering colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. powerful images from last night. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: cctv pictures of the manchester bomber salman abedi in the hours before monday's attack have been released by police in an appeal for more information about his movements. british airways says it's hoping to resume a normal service on its flights today after a computer failure left thousands of passengers stranded. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. it finally broke over the weekend. we had some stormy weather.
6:15 am
definitely. good morning. more storms to come. sunshine for some parts of the country. this is a weather watch a picture from norfolk with clear skies early this morning. —— weather watcher. the storms will arrive on the south later on today. enjoy the sunshine while you have it. keep an eye on this cloud. we had some clouds around biscay, northern france, they gave us storms early on. a bit damp in the morning. sunshine developing in places. you can see the cloud thickening. heavy rain and storms coming in from the channel, heading into the south—west in particular. a north—westerly breeze today. for the murray firth, temperatures a few degrees lower than yesterday. some sunshine. sunny spells in northern ireland. northern

6:18 am
iam sure i am sure you have noticed a new pirates of the caribbean movie. why? laughter. baywatch goes from small screen to big screen. and the other side of hope. let's kick off with the pirates of the caribbean, they are billing it as jack searching for the trident of poseidon. it sounds very exciting. every single one of these films, this is the fifth, has a search oi’ curse oi’ quest. this time it's for the trident of poseidon. the last time we were with pirates of the caribbean, it was one that everyone felt was like an afterthought. the reason we are back is because these movies make a huge amount of money. we have some of the old cast, some new faces. but generally the same old story. yes, there is a curse, a quest, some goings—on. here is a clip. i need to speak with you. hand me your sword.
6:19 am
i don't have a sword. what kind of soldier has no weapon? i'm currently wanted for treason. so not the very good kind, then. i'm looking for a pirate. captainjack sparrow? well, today is your lucky day. because ijust happen to be captain jack sparrow. no, it can't be. i've spent years searching for this? the great jack sparrow is not some drunk in a cell. do you even have a ship? a crew? pants? a great pirate does not require such intricacies. do you know how long i've been waiting for this moment? the risks i've taken to be here! the audiences love it, so give them more and more? have you seen the other pirates movies? i think i saw the first one, a long time ago.
6:20 am
thought it was all right, but i didn't need more. do you think this gag is so fabulous it's going to take five movies? firstly, i was never a fan of the first one, the second and third i found increasingly annoying, and the fourth just felt like a postscript. you havejohnny depp doing that same performance that has been getting more and more broad during the various movies. when he first started doing it, everyone said he was like keith richards from the rolling stones. it has become more and more like a pantomime. his accent seems to have gone to the other side of the world. he sounded positively australian in some moments. you also get the classic thing of, we need to relaunch the franchise, let's have intertwining plots, and all the way through you're thinking, just give me a narrative that actually makes some sense. the weird thing about the pirates movies is they feel quite so mechanical and soulless. understandably, they come from a ride originally, they are an attempt to take that and put it on the screen. there is a real feeling that
6:21 am
i suspect even people who are real fans of the pirates of the caribbean series will feel they have seen this before and done better. i've never been a fan of them, but i think even fans will start to think, for heaven's sake, do we have to do this all over again? actually, it is one of those movies in which you can almost see the accountants totting up the sums. putting this thing together. it's like an abacus. there is no new wit or invention. a lot of the script sounds like offcuts from carry on movies. you can take lines from this and carry on columbus and they are the same scriptwriting pattern. it's not the worst of the movies, it's not the best of the pirates of the caribbean movies — boringly in the middle, with emphasis on the boring. we get that! something else we have seen before is baywatch, a long—running sort of kitsch classic tv series, what, 25 years ago? long enough ago that when it was on i didn't
6:22 am
have a television. it's a sort of post—modern reboot in the manner of 21 jump street. zac efron is a disgraced olympian, a celebrity to bring attention to them. his character doesn't believe in teamwork. you know that over the course of the movie, they will find some sort of affectionate bond, and this will be driven by a long and rather creaky crime plot, because it's a feature film, therefore it has to have a crime plot. it's not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. i counted five times during this movie that i laughed, five times more than i thought i would. it's nothing like as consistently funny as 21 jump street, but zac efron and dwayne "the rock" johnson are quite funny. there is a slightly sharp thing about the fact there is a lot of camera ogling, but it's zac efron who is being ogled. it is a two—hour movie that is at least one hour and five minutes too long. if it was a 55—minute tv special, they might have got away with it. i have seen worse.
6:23 am
i did at least laugh a few times, which is more than i can say about pirates of the caribbean. when you describe it as post—modern, i'm sure the makers of the film will be flattered. i'm sure that that was how it was pitched in the first place. it's a post—modern redo. now, the other side of hope. this is a sort of comedy about europe's refugee crisis. it's aki kaurismaki, an interesting writer—director. if you are familiar with him, you will know his kind of deadpan comedy. it's essentially a story about a young man from syria who arrives in finland, processed by the authorities, bullied on the street by thugs, but embraced by the displaced community who try to show him the ropes. here is a clip. you get a sense of that kind of bittersweet comedy.
6:24 am
what i like about this is that on the one hand it is very sensitive and humane, and it feels real. it feels like a story about a character you can believe in. it also has that aki kaurismaki off—kilter sense of the world. it's laugh out loud funny in some places, when you don't expect it to be. the central character then meets up with a finnish businessmen who decides he will buy a failing restaurant, which he attempts to make work by doing various things. at one point he decides to make it a sushi restaurant, and he doesn't have sushi so they make salted herring instead. there are these absurd moments, but it's a story about dispossessed people and the way in which strange friendships can be forged. it has beautiful use of music. at one point you get buskers in the street and the blues band in a bar who seem to offer a kind of greek chorus commentary.
6:25 am
there's a lovely moment in a migrant reception centre where somebody starts playing a tune which takes a runaway to lost, distant lands. it's beautifully put together, visually crisp and clear in that kind of hyper real style. it's very, very difficult to get that balance between tragedy and comedy, between smiles and tears. but it genuinely manages to do both those things. the funny moments are funny, and the tragic moments are profoundly moving. it's very humane and touching. i think anybody could get on with it. it's a really, really good film. what is best out at the moment? i will say this for the last week, it won't be in cinemas for too much longer. it's the levelling. i want people to see it on the big screen if they can. it's a story about a young woman who goes back to a family farm where she has unresolved family issues. fantastic performances, beautifully shot, wonderful soundscape, wonderful sound design. you need to see it on the big screen because so much of what's going on is going on in the sound, the sound of the wind,
6:26 am
the rain, the farm itself. and you do lose that off the big screen. i think the director is a major talent, she was described as a rising star of tomorrow ten years ago by screen international. it's taken her that long to make this feature film. it's a great piece of work, the levelling. and best dvd? jackie. when i reviewed this the first time round, it took me two viewings to get to grips with it. one of the things i love about it is the score, which is brilliant. a lot of attention on the central performance. which when i first saw it, i thought it felt strangely stilted, maybe a bit over—theatrical. second time round, i realised it's a film about a woman in a position whereby she has to perform certain roles. and that awkwardness is very deliberate. the theatricality is on purpose. it's a multilayered film.
6:27 am
it's not immediately accessible, but it really does, the more you watch it the more you find in it. which is another reason why if you saw it in the cinema and weren't crazy about it, it's worth watching again at home. it stands up on the small screen. ok, mark. thank you so much. you can find all of our previous programmes on the iplayer. and also more online. that's all from us, thank you for watching, goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. coming up before 7am, jess has a round up of the sports news and darren will be here with the bank holiday weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. police investigating the terror attack in manchester have released new images of salman abedi, the man who carried out the bombing. taken in the hours before the attack, police have asked anyone who saw abedi to contact them.
6:28 am
with 11 men under arrest and searches at addresses across the north—west of england, police are putting together a picture of his last movements. the conservatives and labour are both vowing to improve security the family of mel the family of neljones, a 14—year—old victim, say their hearts have been shattered in a tribute to their daughter. in a statement released through greater manchester police this morning, they said we can't wrap our children in cotton wool. even though she's been taken from us we've had 1a lovely years with her and that makes us happy. the conservatives and labour are both vowing to improve security on britain's streets if they form the next government. theresa may is highlighting tory plans for a new body to advise on tackling extremism, whilejeremy corbyn is pledging to boost the number of police and intelligence staff. british airways says that flights from gatwick and heathrow will return to near normal schedules after a widespread it failure caused all flights to be
6:29 am
grounded yesterday. thousands of passengers were stranded at the airports all day. the boss of ba blamed a power supply problem, but many people have criticised the company for failing to keep them updated. tooth decay is the biggest cause of hospital admissions in england for children underfive. in a report out today, the british dentaljournal says treating dental disease costs the nhs almost 5.5 billion a year, and children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to require treatment. the american rock musician greg allman has died. # but back home you'll always run to sweet melissa... the 69—year—old became a star in the late ‘60s as part of the allman brothers band, the group he formed with his brother, duane. one of their best known songs is the 1973 hitjessica, which was used as the opening theme tune to top gear. you can just about hear it there in
6:30 am
the background. i never knew that! there you go, one of those things thatis there you go, one of those things that is just so familiar, part of the dna! credit to them! jess is here with sport, whatjess is here with sport, what a weekend, where to begin, wembley yesterday? let's start with the football, arsenal, not a familiar sight this season because arsenal celebrating, smiles oi'i because arsenal celebrating, smiles on all their faces, they've had a really rough season, missing out on the champions league for the first time in 20 years. seven fa cups for arsene wenger? it hasn't redeemed themselves but nice for the fans to get positivity. and dan walker on the pitch doing his best to get any info about whether wenger would stay but nothing. tightlipped. he says later this week. he was a little bit annoyed, shall we say frustrated, by the fact is then criticised so much
6:31 am
this season but we should find out a bit later this week whether he will still be there next season. that is after guiding arsenal to yet another fa cup triumph. after missing out on the top four in the premier league it was his last chance for success this season. and against champions chelsea they delivered a 2—1win. olly foster was at wembley for us. if this is arsene wenger‘s last act, it's a very precious one. salvaging silver at the end of a very difficult season. i'm very proud because you see what kind of fight when you want to win one and you have to go forward, and if nobody has done it before, you know, i'm proud for having done two things that have not been done, win the championship without losing a game and win seven fa cups. it's not easy, believe me. this is a record 13th fa cup for arsenal. yes, they
6:32 am
they deserve this trophy but should they deserve this trophy but should they really have been allowed that opening goal? alexis sanchez scored this inside the first five minutes. it's a goal that will go straight onto the syllabus at referee school. anthony taylor didn't spot the handball. the linesman gave offside for ramsey who was interfering, taylor not impressed by that either but the goal stood and they could have scored more, gary cahill cleared off the line twice, welbeck‘s header hit the post and ramsey couldn't turn it into. the champions regrouped after half—time, ospina busier in the gunners' goal. they should have had a breather when moses was sent off for diving but ten man chelsea got an equaliser with cost of giving them hope. three minutes later and aaron ramsey stooped and conquered. arsenal ahead once more, aaron ramsey scores for the gunners. costa was so close to
6:33 am
equalising again but ospina was brilliant begin. this might have been chelsea's season, but this was very much arsenal's day. —— brilliant a game. olly foster, bbc news, wembley. imagine being so good, so strong, that no—one, not one team is able to beat you, for the entire season! that's exactly what celtic have done. they've now won the scottish cup, adding to the scottish premiership and league cup titles they've already wrapped up, making it an undefeated, domestic treble winning season for them. they left it late to beat aberdeen in the cup final. the game looked to be heading for extra time when tom rogic scored the winner in the second minute of injury time. they might have struggled in europe, but brendan rogers‘ invincibles have dominated the game in scotland in his first season in charge. it's been a dream. you could have never sat down with any manager coming in at the beginning of the season and write down what we've
6:34 am
done. i said to the players just before we went out, this is a game where you want them to write about it afterwards but you have to make it, you have to make history, it doesn't just it, you have to make history, it doesn'tjust happen. it, you have to make history, it doesn't just happen. the it, you have to make history, it doesn'tjust happen. the players went out and did that and the second half in particular they were brilliant. in rugby union, exeter chiefs have won their first premiership title. they needed extra—time to beat wasps in the final at twickenham. it was all square after 80 minutes but a late penalty ensured the chiefs, who lost last year's final, were crowned champions for the first time in their history. it was only seven years ago that exeter won promotion to the top league, the premiership. 23—20 it finished. scarlets are the new champions of the pro 12 after an exciting 116—22 win over munster in the final in dublin. a nice send off for liam williams, who scored on his last appearance for scarletts before he moves to saracens next season. the welsh side ran in six tries in all to cap an impressive play—off campaign. england's cricketers have taken
6:35 am
an unassailable lead in their one—day series against the world's number one side south africa. put in to bat, england set a victory target of 331 thanks largely to a century from ben stokes. south africa battled back and took the game to the very final ball but they couldn't get the four runs they needed. england are now 2—0 up in the three—match series and in good form ahead of next week's champions trophy it will be a big test, especially when the real pressure's on but as i said we wanted to win this series because they're the number one in the world, it's going to be tough for us with expectation now but i think we're up to it, i think we've got some great match winners and a really strong team. lewis hamilton says he's devastated that he'll start today's monaco grand prix from 12th on the grid. the briton couldn't explain why his mercedes was so off the pace in qualifying. his final attempt to get into the top ten was thwarted when mclaren's stoffel vandoorne
6:36 am
crashed but hamilton felt it made little difference. kimi raikkonen will start from pole for the first time in nine years with championship leader and ferrari team—mate sebastian vettel alongside him. great britain, led by sir ben ainslie, are leading after the first day of their america's cup qualification campaign in bermuda. despite mixed results in practice, they won their opening race against sweden but in their second race were penalised for this crash against japan. it's still enough to see them ahead of usa in the standings. no one wanted or was looking for a collision there, sometimes it happens. you know, we did a great job to get around the course considering the damage we had. we we re considering the damage we had. we were hanging in there most of the race despite that. yeah, the day bodes well for the team and we're going to go and fix the damage. our
6:37 am
shore team are the best in the game and will do whatever they can to get us and will do whatever they can to get us out there racing tomorrow. boxing now and britain's kell brook was beaten in his homecoming world title fight in sheffield. he lost his ibf middleweight title to the american errol spence junior after sustaining a heavy cut beneath his eye. he fought back but that injury eventually forced brook to his knees in the 11th round and the referee called an end to the fight. but george groves is a world champion on his fourth attempt in a world title fight. he beat russia's fedor chudinov to win the vacate wba world super—middleweight belt. britain's adam yates will be hoping to be crowned the best young rider at the giro d'italia when it ends today in milan. while four riders are battling for overall victory, nairo quintana retained the leader's pink jersey after yesterday's stage, but tom dumoulin is the favourite to overturn a 53—second deficit on today's final time trial stage from monza to milan. sir mo farah has shown that he's
6:38 am
in good form as he builds up to this summer's world championships in london. farah dominated the 5,000m at the prefontaine classic in the usa, showing his finishing speed to pull away from a strong field in oregon. brilliant win for mo, he carries on winning, so strong at the moment, fantastic. i saw you tweeting about exeter chiefs, how exciting. howl nailbiting was it? i was meant to be ata nailbiting was it? i was meant to be at a children's party and i was listening to it in the car, i thought they would be fine but almost lost it. fair play to wasps. —— wasps. british airways is facing huge compensation costs after thousands of passengers were stranded yesterday because of a catastrophic computer failure. the airline blamed the outage on a power supply problem but says
6:39 am
it hopes to run a near normal schedule today. travel writerjohn belljoins us now from london. thank you for your time this morning. first of all, do we have any idea what went wrong? allowed depends if you believe what they say. they had a power cut somewhere. i hope they aren't going to wriggle out of this one because airlines try to wriggle out of compensation when they can prove extraordinary circumstances. if your power gets cut, it's your fault and you should pay compensation. the problem we have with british airways, for the last 2a hours almost, is a total lack of information. we've had the odd statement here or there, they said proper services from gatwick, no services out of london heathrow,
6:40 am
but don't turn up at the airport, get on your computer before you go, make sure you've got a confirmed flight. make sure you've got a confirmed flight. but i don't hear apologies andi flight. but i don't hear apologies and i look at pictures of heathrow yesterday full of people, i don't see coachloads of ba employees being shipped into the airport, having been asked to attend and come and look after passengers. they've really got a problem. the latest statement from ba to be fair to them finally included an apology and they have said they're going to pay for compensation. but tell us about the compensation. but tell us about the compensation schedule because obviously when something like this happens you're entitled to food and drink vouchers but possibly a hotel and there could be compensation above and beyond that —— and possibly. thanks to the european union there is compulsory compensation where you have either a
6:41 am
delay or where you have a cancellation. it depends on the length of the flight, it can vary between £250 and about £520 for a long haulflight. between £250 and about £520 for a long haul flight. you between £250 and about £520 for a long haulflight. you have to make the claim. you also have to... if the claim. you also have to... if the delay is more than two hours then they have to look after you and provide you with teas, coffee, food. and overnight accommodation. i would guess last night there were a lot of people who were not offered overnight accommodation, so in that case you go and you buy these things yourself at a reasonable cost, you don't go to 5—star hotels. and they make sure you keep every single receipt and put in that compensation claim. and claim it back, yes. i wa nt to claim. and claim it back, yes. i want to read the statement from ba, they say we are extremely sorry for they say we are extremely sorry for the disruption caused to customers
6:42 am
on saturday and we understand how frustrating their experiences will have been. how damaging is this too ba? is this the kind of experience that will put other people off booking with them or in the long—term will it make a difference? i think people will have this one in their memory for some time. of course it is financial damage. yesterday must have cost british airways millions and millions of pounds. but i think people will think, well, how do they look after their passengers when this happened? the fact there was a delay and even apologising for the event, the fact they kept saying, oh, no, it is 6:30 p-m-, they kept saying, oh, no, it is 6:30 p.m., we will have more news, when obviously there wasn't any more news and as 6:30pm approached they cancelled flying for the whole day. i'm afraid it's a bit of a pr catastrophe for british airways and i don't see them yet trying to rescue it. john, thanks for your
6:43 am
time, ithink rescue it. john, thanks for your time, i think you expressed the frustration of many of the passengers yesterday. to further back up the british airways statement in terms of advice to customers, they say customers travelling across the bank holiday weekend should continue checking theirflight weekend should continue checking their flight status on the website, ba.com, before going to the airport so ba.com, before going to the airport so do that before turning up. we have had such good weather. it is turning? it is not a bad start to the day. yesterday at this time i was showing you pictures of lightning. we have none of those from weather watchers. the sun has come up nicely. we will see more sunshine developing today in norfolk. storms will arrive later. they will be brewing up in the bay of biscay. we have had a few in
6:44 am
northern france. this cloud will eventually give us storms in the south. the largest of the rain clearing away from northern scotland. a mostly dry start with sunny spells developing. thickening cloud is here. heavy rain and storms arriving, especially in the south—west, later in the afternoon. in the north, dry in the afternoon across the bulk of scotland. a north—westerly breeze. 27 degrees around the murray firth yesterday. closer to 15—16. warmer than that in the centre belt. 18. 20— 21, that sort of figure for northern england. a fine day. sunshine in the afternoon. gusty wind and hail arriving in south wales. a few showers possible in the south—east. hit or mist. the showers will go north this evening in the england and wales and become more extensive overnight. heavy downpours. flashes
6:45 am
and bangs. a little bit chilly across northern scotland. warm and mighty and uncomfortable in the south overnight, the south—east in particular. —— muggy. going north into northern england and north wales during tomorrow morning with the showers. we continue to see rain in scotland, but away from northern ireland. in the south, cloud will then. a little sunshine to be warmth in the south—east. a few showers in the afternoon. 12— 13 degrees underneath the rain in scotland. next week, apart from the far north—west of the uk, much more dry weather arriving, pressure building across the uk, sunshine around as well, and in that sunshine, it should feel quite warm. not the heat and humidity that we started with over the bank weekend. and that will do. back to you. thank you.
6:46 am
headlines soon. but now on brea kfast, headlines soon. but now on breakfast, here's click. graffiti art has been one of the hottest art movements over the last few decades. like many graffiti artists, graeme, or "xenz," the name he goes by, cut his teeth on the streets. in this case, the streets of bristol. he has since grown into the artist that we see on the roof of his east london studio. today, he's taking a break to do this for us. but he's more known these days for these amazing natural scenes which are exhibited and sold all over the world, and which incorporate all of the graffiti techniques that he's honed over the years. yeah, over time you really understand what the can
6:47 am
is about to do. you know, you come to rely on these tools, like the nozzle or the weight of the can. like the way that i use the edge there to keep one edge sharp and one edge faded, then this, you know, different lines, adding colours. so there's a lot of disciplines that go through painting that are the same here, you know. years of practice? no, we don't have that kind of patience. so could we pull off something similar to this by combining technology with someone who has no creative talent whatsoever? to find out, we sent nick kwek to estonia. tartu, estonia's second—largest city. like most cities, graffiti and street art provoke around every corner. if you know where to look.
6:48 am
it's also home to one of the biggest spray—painted pieces i've ever laid eyes on. but albert's been painted dot by dot, and i've been promised i too can achieve artistic genius with the right tools. believe it or not, these pictures have all been painted with spray paint. they've been pieced together splodge by splodge by the sprayprinter device. my daughter wanted a unicorn on her wall, but i couldn't draw. so that pushed me towards creating this device. to make these magical masterpieces you need the right kit — a smartphone with the appropriate app installed, an external battery pack to keep it fullyjuiced, a tripod to hold it steady, some paint, and of course the sprayprinter. first you select an image and align it against the area you want to paint.
6:49 am
so the image is projected like a giant virtual sticker. portraits with shadows work best. the phone's camera exposes for the led on the device, and when it illuminates, it sends the can's location to the app. the phone then tells the printer its coordinates and the printer decides when to spray and when not to. once you get the knack of it, it's actually surprisingly simple to use. you just have to make sure you go from left to right, or right to left, very smoothly, in a straight line. for all its geeky brilliance, it's a real labour of love. even the most simple of designs takes several hours. depending on how complex the picture, and the size, the amount of layers, the different colours you want to paint with, you know, that determines how long doing one of these is going to take. you need to move your hand relatively steady, so if you start moving your hand very quickly you're losing accuracy.
6:50 am
not sure i could really stand your for several hours doing this. with the next model, you should be able to move your hand relatively freely as you would with a regular paintbrush. to give your arm rest, the team have already started developing robotic versions to do the spraying for them, meaning larger more complex images. i developed this extra accessory for the sprayprinter to atomise the process, because for high scale images the hand—held method takes too much time and effort. soon, others will be able tojoin in too, hopefully speeding things up a bit. but does the printer help artistic expression, or simply kill it? a person who can't draw at all, this gives like guidelines of how to paint.
6:51 am
it's like sort of a colouring book, but you can go over the lines, but the paint will still only land in the right places. i think for people like myself, we call them artistically challenged... laughter and i think this device gives them new power. the finished result? it started off only a few small dots. you actually have to stand back a few feet to get the full view, to get the right perspective on it. how good is that? so what would you like to see spray—painted next? yeah, and in true blue peter fashion, here's one i made earlier. yeah, all me. entirely done by me. all of it. well, that was nick kwek with the sprayprinter. graeme, worried? not really, no.
6:52 am
i mean it's a great tool. it works like a projector. it helps us to get these large images up easier but no, i think i'm quite comfortable in what i'm doing right now. i might use it one day though. it definitely has its advantages, for sure, yeah. one of the brilliant things about working on click is that we all get to achieve our lifetime ambitions at one point or another, which is why this week mark cieslak became the captain of a starship! he took some of the rest of the click family with him, to boldly go where no mark has gone before. space, the final frontier. these are the virtual voyages of the bbc click team. our mission: to wear vr headsets and discover strange, new technology, and boldly go where no tv reporter has gone before. virtual reality game star trek bridge crew brings together up to four players, each taking a different role
6:53 am
on the bridge of a starship. the beauty of going where no one has gone before is that starship travel involves an awful lot of sitting down. sitting down is great for virtual reality because the headsets have got these cables. if you're moving around it easy to get caught up with them. sitting avoids all of that. and where better to be sitting than the captain's chair of a federation starship? headsets on, it's time for the click team to become a starship crew. wow. it's really strange. that's brilliant. incredible. oh, my goodness, mark!
6:54 am
hi. i'm dabbing. all right, people? let's trek some stars. the early missions are all about orientating us was the bridge and how we interact with it. as helmsman, you are the ship's navigator. the headset shows us what the bridge looks like, but the playstation motion controllers allow us to interact with the various controls we have to master in order to fly the ship. help. yes? walk course to gamma hydra. engage. oh, we're warping, everybody. 0h! wow. that's pretty, isn't it? that's good. wow. we don't have time for sight seeing, though, as we receive a distress signal from a stricken vessel. my vessel has lost all power and our life—support systems are nearly exhausted. here we go. scanning now.
6:55 am
get on that scan. ok, so, engineering? yes. can you transport the survivors to here? i don't know. chuckles that wasn't in the training. laughter we're homing in at an alarming rate, captain. there are no options within transporter. it says right there in the list. transport, energise. it's at this moment that the action takes a turn which will appeal to star trek super fans. ok, guys, this is the kobayashi maru scenario. this is an impossible to win situation. 0h! it's a d51 cruiser. it's a klingon d5 cruiser? yes. 0k. target it. bring it about so we can actually see that the vessel. bring it in behind it. come on! west, west, west.
6:56 am
turn it, turn it, turn it. find us. operating. there it is. ok, bring in those torpedoes. line up the phasers, and torpedoes away. get us back behind it. target destroyed. 0h! yeah, everybody, we just violated a peace treaty. wow. oh, wow. it's pretty warm work being in virtual reality. it feels like it's social vr at its best, really. communication's a must. if you don't have it you're not going to complete the mission. great for team building. i thought we actually had our lives on the line for a minute. that ably demonstrates the power of teamwork. it's really, really important that everybody plays their role on the bridge, because if you don't then chaos ensues. we had a couple of sticky moments there, but i think we managed to pull it back and keep it together as a crew. and the result was
6:57 am
a successful mission. brilliant. that was mark and the crew. that's it for this week. follow us on twitter at bbc click. or like us on facebook, too, where you can see lots of extra content and videos. now, while you're watching this we are doing a live show at the hay literary festival in wales. and next week on the programme you can see a little bit of what we're getting up to. can't wait. and if you're coming, i hope you enjoy the festival. and we will see you next week. thanks for watching. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. detectives release new images of the manchester bomber salman abedi. the pictures were taken in the hours before the attack,
