hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. growing pressure on the government to abolish the 1% cap on pay rises for public sector workers. borisjohnson becomes the latest cabinet minister to call for a boost to workers‘ wages, but downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. good morning, it is monday 3july. also this morning: for the first time in almost a decade more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession thanjoining it, according to figures released today. president trump is accused of inciting attacks against journalists, after he tweeted this spoof video of himself assaulting a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his head.

cheaper prices as the pumps. the supermarkets have cut petrol prices over the last few days, but are they here to stay? i will have the details. strawberries and cream at the ready. wimbledon gets under way today, so we have sent sally and carol to sw19. good morning and welcome to wimbledon 2017. as he starts the defence of his wimbledon title today, andy murray says he is fit, despite suffering with a hip problem. but the world number one has already faced some of his toughest questions this fortnight, when he was interrogated by our mini—murrays, who wanted to know who was the best cook in his family. my my gran has got a lot of experience cooking, so i will say it would just... just be her. it isn't my mum, she would definitely be third on the list.

more from them later. let's cross to inside the all england tennis club, where carol has got the weather. good morning, and out here it is this grandmother's shortbread which is particularly good. we have some spots of rain this morning. that should clear, the outside chance of rain, buta should clear, the outside chance of rain, but a greater chance it should stay dry, and after a cloudy start we will see some sunshine and it will feel pleasantly warm. more details in 15 minutes. the foreign secretary has added his voice to the growing calls from within the cabinet for theresa may to lift the 1% cap on pay rises for public sector workers. the limit is due to be in place until 2020. but a government source said borisjohnson strongly believed pay rises could be achieved without putting undue pressure on the public finances. 0ur political correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. there are quite a few people who are not toeing the line on this one.

yes, you have spotted the trend. it is quite striking, isn't it? cabinet ministers one after another, it seems, all saying hang on a minute, i think we need to do something about public sector pay. michael gove yesterday saying something along those lines, and now boris johnson, the foreign secretary. here is the context for all of this. there was a freeze on public sector pay back in 2011. after that there was a 1% cap posed in 2013. and if that cap were to remain in place until 2019, public sector pay then, in terms of purchasing power, what it is actually worth in the shops, would be the same as in 2005. now, for a good number of years, private sector pay after the financial crash of 2008 was pretty ropey as well but that has started to improve, and that has started to improve, and that has started to improve, and that has contributed to the sense from some in the public sector that

it is time for some sort of rise and one of the lessons of the conservatives seem to be learning themselves is that they got a bit of an earbashing on the doorstep from some in the public sector saying we get that there had to be a bit of a squeezed early on to help valance the books, but now things have to be eased. the challenge for the government is they still need to make the books balance. there is still a deficit as the government spends more than it brings in and taxes. so now there is a discussion in government about how they pay for it. do they put up taxes or cut spending elsewhere? big questions to be addressed. figures out today show, for the first time in nearly a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk thanjoining it. that is according to the nursing and midwifery council. the research suggests 20% more staff left the council's register than signed up, in the year to march this year. sarah smith reports. for years, the numbers registering to work as nurses and midwives have been going in one direction — up. and, with increasing demands on our health service,

that has been crucial. these latest figures showing more staff leaving than joining should, according to the healthcare union unison, ring alarm bells with the government, and could signal a staffing crisis. between last march and this, the numbers on the register dropped by more than 1,700. over the following two months, there was a more dramatic move, the number going down again by more than 3,000. it is only a small proportion of the total number of nurses registered, but it is the significance of the downward trend which is causing concern. there is a great demand for the right standards of care to be delivered across the uk. if the numbers continue to fall, then clearly some action needs to be taken to reverse that trend. in a survey of staff who had left, for those not retiring, the biggest factors were working conditions and disillusionment with the quality of care provided to patients. low pay was also mentioned.

the highest proportion of leavers were british nurses. of eu nurses surveyed, a third quoted brexit as a reason for going. in a statement, the department of health said it has launched a national programme to ensure nurses have the support they need to continue their vital work. and we will be speaking to the chief executive of the royal college of nursing at 7:10am this morning. a public inquiry into child abuse in jersey will publish its report later today. more than 600 witnesses have given evidence about abuse at children's homes and in foster care on the island. a police investigation recorded more than 500 alleged offences, most of which were said to have been committed at the haut de la garenne children's home. from jersey, robert hall reports. for the past two years, the story ofjersey's abuse victims has finally been told. their cries of anguish had been stifled, ignored or dismissed, but in 2008, a secret police

investigation brought the island's hidden past to worldwide attention. alarmed by claims that children had died at the haute de la garenne home, police brought in specialist search dogs. in the ensuing months, forensic teams recovered fragments of bone, and dozens of children's teeth. none could be linked to a specific crime or timeframe, but the images of haut de la garenne being torn apart prompted accounts of abuse at homes across the island. there were examples of where those in authority misused the power that they had. complaints of abuse had came to light, real complaints. yet decisions were made not to deal with those complaints in a way that they ought to have been done. when inquiry chair frances 0ldham reveals their findings today, victims will be looking for one clear message. i want them to say thatjersey

failed catastrophically in looking after the children under their care, and that the government are going to promise that it's never going to happen again. robert hall, bbc news, jersey. a number of flights into gatwick airport were diverted last night, after reports of a drone flying close to the runway. easyjet said four of its flights had been diverted, while british airways said one plane had been sent to bournemouth. 0ther flights had to circle the airport as a precaution. sussex police are investigating. we will be talking to experts about how that might have happened later. president trump has been accused of inciting violence against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof wrestling video showing him assaulting a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his head. in the footage, he is shown punching the cnn character repeatedly. the president regularly accuses cnn

and other media outlets of broadcasting what he calls fake news. 0ur correspondent tom burridge has more. it is president trump's latest attack on the so—called mainstream media. a video from 2007, when donald trump appeared at a wwe wrestling event. ringside, he pretended to beat someone up. but, on the version of the video the president has tweeted, a cnn logo is superimposed on the man's head. prominent american journalists, even some right—wing commentators, have criticised the video. this is not "modern—day presidential". it is modern—day crass, it is modern—day coarseness. it is an incitement to violence. 0ne senior aide to the president said no—one would perceive the video as a threat against the media. but even supporters of president trump say his tweets are a distraction.

we want him to concentrate on what is important to the american people, like tax reform and repealing 0bamacare and national security, and we would really like for him to put down the twitter account. away from the protests, many americans like donald trump's provocative style. mr trump said his tweets are those of a modern president. cnn described the video he tweeted asjuvenile behaviour, far below the dignity of the office of president. the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire, will make a statement in parliament today about the talks to restore devolved government at stormont. the latest legal deadline for the negotiations passed on thursday. two people have miraculously walked away with just minor injuries after their supercar crashed into the side of a building and burst into flames. these images were taken by fire crews at the crash site near trowbridge, in wiltshire, where there is not much

going to agree to disagree?” wwe, it is comical violence. are we going to agree to disagree? i still think it was an presidential but i don't think... for people to save punching in the face, they don't do that in wrestling. —— for people to say. —— unpresidential. it is non— attacking elbows and things like that. ben, you get going to get involved? not on this one! andy murray has done a hard—hitting a hard—hitting interview with us this morning. more on that later. then we are talking about austerity, that's our lead story, who is saying what over whether or not this 1% pay rise should be allowed or not, a cabinet split emerging between the chancellor and senior ministers over whether taxes should be raised to pay for increased spending on public services. the migrant crisis on the front page of the mirror and the

express this morning. 69 refugees have drowned this year trying during spain from africa, that's the mirror. the express, eu in crisis over boat migrants. eu holding crisis talks over europe under siege from rising numbers of migrants. crisis talks over europe under siege from rising numbers of migrantslj from rising numbers of migrants.” wa nt from rising numbers of migrants.” want to pick up on that story on the front of the mail. this is a real issue. it is something we have talked about in business but something we will hear much more about, we heard all about the sub—prime crisis when it came to housing debt, the next crisis is car loans and it's not anywhere near as big because the values involved are less but this investigation by the daily mail, others have done the same, how many people getting cars without proving they campaigned the money back and then you end up in the horrible cycle where people have cars, they lose theirjob, they can't pay for the loan and they have to sell it, too many cars on the market, prices fall, those who have

ca rs are market, prices fall, those who have cars are being loans less than the value of the car and it becomes a downward spiral. something to keep an eye on and this investigation in the mail look at how easy it is for people to get pcp, personal contract purchase is, it let's you get the car without proving your income. another story i want to look at quickly, i'm not going to steal your thunder with the picture, quickly, i'm not going to steal your thunderwith the picture, oiland white wine at risk in spain. big problems for olives. all the picnics you might be having this summer... you said christmas, do you know it isjuly? you said christmas, do you know it is july? i'm wishing my summer away! that is a very early christmas! it's monday morning! the first mention of christmas on the third ofjuly! so if you're doing your christmas shopping and you want to get your

thermodynamics. what do you feel the impact of brexit would be on science? science is a cooperative effort so the impact will be wholly bad and will leave british science isolated and inward looking. what's your view on donald trump's decision to withdraw from the paris agreement and what impact will it have on the planet? by denying evidence for climate change and pulling out of paris donald trump will cause irrevocable environmental damage to our beautiful planet and in danger the financial world for us and our children. if money and practicality we re children. if money and practicality were no object, what would be your dream present? a cure for motor neurone disease, or at least a halt

to its progression. when i was diagnosed at 201! was told it would kill me in two or three years. now 54 years later, albeit weaker and in a wheelchair, i'm still working and producing scientific papers. professor hawking, thank you so much. you're an inspiration to us all. good to hear from good to hearfrom him. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. police are continuing to question a man after a 16—year—old girl was killed and six other teenagers injured when a car crashed into them in south london. it happened in croydon in the early hours of sunday morning. the man, who's in his 30s, is being questioned on suspicion

of causing death by dangerous driving. the mayor of london has rejected calls to re—organise local government in the capital following the grenfell tower fire. the foreign office minister and former kensington councillor mark field suggested london should have fewer and bigger local authorities so they're better equipped to respond to major crises. but the mayor disagrees. asa as a former councillor myself i think by and large it works well. experts i've spoken to haven't persuaded me there's an argument to reduce the numbers, so i think we should improve what we've got by making sure the central government devolves more power to london and not just devolves more power to london and notjust me as the mayor but two councils as well, i'm not in favour of abolishing councils. the tube is all looking good at the moment, no reported problems on any

of those lines there. there's a reduced service today on some southern and gatwick express routes because of industrial action. there are very limited services between tulse hill, peckham rye and london bridge and no southern services to and from beckenham junction. let's take a look at the roads in victoria. grosvenor gardens is down to one lane for traffic coming out of the one way system towards hyde park, there are works taking place. in dulwich, the a205, the south circular, thurlow park road, is closed towards tulse hill from gallery road to west dulwich. and also in south east london, a reminder that beckenham high street is still closed as part of a regeneration scheme. let's have a check on the weather. good morning. of course it's the first week of wimbledon, quite a cloudy start this morning and that cloudy start this morning and that cloud producing spots of rain here and there. we've already seen some this morning but it should clear fairly quickly. sunny spells expected through the afternoon. the cloud is quite thick so don't be surprised if you get a spot or two of rain but through the afternoon most of rain but through the afternoon m ost pla ces of rain but through the afternoon most places staying dry, the cloud thinning and breaking and we should

see some spells of sunshine. the maximum between 23 and 25. 0vernight it's going to be quite a warm one, the windfalls light, quite a bit of cloud but clear spells as well. minimum 14 to 16 so fairly uncomfortable within the m25, quite a warm night and a warm start tomorrow, again quite a bit of cloud but it's looking like a dry day. hopefully that cloud should thin here and there, we could get a sunny spells or two, quite warm again, 24 or 25. sunday is looking like the warmest day of the week, temperatures up at around 26 or maybe 27. it's not until thursday that we start to see this moving up and the potential for some thundery showers later on on thursday, overnight and into friday morning. first few days of wimbledon looking predominantly dry, sunny spells and the potential for some thundery spells later on thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

healthy. fabrizio, forgive me, i will move on to maggie. who do you think maggie is supporting today?” am supporting andy murray. you have the andy murray t—shirt, the andy murray flag, and the earrings as well. are you an andy murray super fan, by any chance? i am, ifollow him all over and go to lots of tournaments. why is it andy murray in particular that you like? because he is british. and you obviously think he can defend his title.” hope so, i hope his hips are all right and hope so, i hope his hips are all rightandi hope so, i hope his hips are all right and i am looking forward to seeing him win. as you can see, the crowd obviously in fine, fine form this morning. let's talk a little bit about the actual tennis. he has been suffering with a hip problem, but andy murray says he is fit as he starts the defence of his wimbledon title today. he is first up on centre court against the world number 134, alexander bublik. murray is desperately short of practice on grass. he was forced to pull out of two exhibition matches last week.

it is just it isjust a it is just a little bit stressful, because at this point in the year, right before the slam, and the biggest tournament of the year for me, asa biggest tournament of the year for me, as a brit, oryou biggest tournament of the year for me, as a brit, or you want to be prepared. i want to be out there practising. and i haven't been in that position before, really. but you just have to try and stay patient, you know, stay calm. fellow british number one johanna konta also has question marks over her fitness. she has been struggling with injury since she fell heavily at eastbourne on friday, but has said she is recovering really well. she is last up on court 0ne. she faces the woman who knocked her out of the first round of the french open, hsieh su—wei, from taiwan. i'm definitely going into the match knowing that she will be playing very comfortable on the surface, and she will definitely look to make things difficult for me. i'd like to think that i'm also better—prepared. i'd like to think that i will be going into the match with a clear

game plan, and just trying to execute that as best as i can. straight on centre court after murray is the two—time winner petra kvitova. she has only recently returned to the tour, after her playing hand was injured in a knife attack in december. but she looks in great form, winning the aegon classic in birmingham a few weeks ago, a result which has made her one of the favourites. it was my dream, my motivation, to be here, to step on the court and play. and suddenly i am favourite, and no, ijust don't get it as well. yes, the people probably think about it, but i am not here to win it. i have already won the biggest fight, before, and i won already, that i am here. britain's chris froome and geraint thomas had a lucky escape on the second stage of the tour de france. they recovered from this crash to reach the finish in liege. reigning champion froome remains sixth overall, with his sky teammate geraint thomas in the leader's yellowjersey. tommy fleetwood won the french open golf.

in the next power of the programme including that very special interview from andy murray, where we hear him talk as he has never talked before, and a little tiny hint that there was another baby murray on the way. watch out for it. plenty more from wimbledon throughout the morning, and carol has the weather from there as well. as fire—safety testing continues on the cladding of as many as 600 tower blocks across england, the numbers which are failing is continuing to rise. 181 buildings have now failed the checks following the tragedy at grenfell tower. that is in 51 local authority areas across england, including 29 in salford, greater manchester alone. joining us now from our london newsroom is arnold tarling, a fire safety expert and chartered surveyor. good morning to you, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. tell us what is going on. because it seems every single bit of cladding that is

tested seems to fail this test. attest that they are undertaking, from what i have heard from the industry is what is called upon calorific tests, often used to test the amount of calories in food. and the amount of calories in food. and the fact is that this will produce false readings, things that don't normally burn will burn, because they feel the vessel with a pure oxygen, and they pressurise it to 30 times the atmosphere. so the whole situation has changed. the actual sort of testing which had should be done is to build a large read and actually tested as it has been installed , actually tested as it has been installed, but that will take a week or two to do —— large read. it will ta ke or two to do —— large read. it will take 12 to 14 years to get around the testing was sampled —— large rig. 0k, the testing was sampled —— large rig. ok, because it is very worrying. if people living in those buildings here that the cladding surrounding their buildings has

failed these particular tests, do you understand the concerns? what can be done, do you think? well, they are not taking a large enough sample. they have asked for a sample basically the size of an a4 sheet of paper. what they are needing to do is take larger samples and actually tested in a different way, by heating it up and burning the edges, to see whether it catches fire. so they need two panels, one above the other, and they need a simplified rig, which can be done simply, and multiple rigs, one on top of the other, to test it has in the stored environment. as of where we are now, what are the implications? because they are failing, and that is the test they are using. so what will have to be done? basically they are going to have to forget the testing they are doing at the moment and actually set up test which will be more realistic. and you don't have

to necessarily follow the whole of the british standards or the european standards for testing, which supersede the british ones. simply follow the test and test them ina more simply follow the test and test them in a more real situation. so put a couple of panels one above the other, light a fire, test it, put blowtorches around the outside, heat the unit and see what starts to happen. that will give you more of an understanding. taking the panels and grinding them into powder, shoving them in a pressurised vessel and working out how much heat heats up and working out how much heat heats up water and measuring the temperature rise is not the right test. 0k, temperature rise is not the right test. ok, so you are saying you are very clear that you think it is not the right test. what i want to get to the bottom of, as well, is that at this point there are people living in buildings who don't know all will be afraid, having had the buildings tested, but they are living in a dangerous building. how do we get to the position where these buildings are safer? my goodness... well, basically, you

have to find the ones which have polyethylene, which you can do quite easily. you can put the materials and a mass spectrometer and you can identify those. you can identify other ones which have more fire resista nt other ones which have more fire resistant materials and you should be able to grade them between those which are the most dangerous and those which are not. there are intelligent people out there in the testing industry, theyjust had to actually get their brains in gear and do something which will give a more realistic result. 0k, thank you for your time this morning. we have gone full wimbledon for you this morning. carol is that with the weather for us this morning. morning. carol is that with the weatherfor us this morning. if my wimbledon geography is correct, are you at the top of the hill that? that's right, we are at the top of the hill this morning and it is a

very tranquil scene but my favourite pa rt very tranquil scene but my favourite part of the morning is when the police dogs arrive, and they have just arrived. we have some labs and some spaniels. they are so cute and some spaniels. they are so cute and so enthusiastic. but look at this view, isn't it gorgeous? later today there will be packed up here, and packed on the hill as well and the weather will be much better than it is at the moment if you like it's sunny and warm because the forecast full wimbledon today is just that. we are looking at highs possibly up to 22, maybe even 24. this morning it isa to 22, maybe even 24. this morning it is a cloudy start and we have some outbreaks of rain not too far away from us. that will fade and it will brighten up. the sun will come out and although we can't completely rule out the risk of a shower, the chances are high that it will stay dry. most of the uk it is a dry forecast and it is also going to be sunny for most. currently some showers dotted around and by 9am we will have some showers in parts of the south and quite a bit of cloud. as we move north to east anglia, the midlands and northern england, that

holds true. variable amounts of cloud with some sunny breaks. brighter start in eastern scotland compared to what we had yesterday. western scotland cloudy with one or two showers and northern ireland getting off to a fine start. some showers on the horizon and later it will cloud over but for wales, one or two showers and the south—west england, around heading in the direction of hampshire, again said that of cloud and for some there is also some rain. through the morning that rain will tend to clear away. the cloud will start to break up and we will see some sunshine come through. but the cloud will build across northern ireland, especially in the second half of the afternoon. temperatures today up to around 22 but in the london area it could hit 23 or 24. but in the sunshine and

light breezes it will feel pleasant. then, as we head on through the evening and overnight, while we have a weather front coming in across northern ireland, also across parts of central and southern scotland and northern england, some of that rain will be heavy. but on either side of it, dry, some clearer spots and temperatures in most towns and cities will stay in double figures. so we start that way tomorrow, not ina so we start that way tomorrow, not in a particularly cold note, but we will have the rain still across northern ireland, central and southern scotland and northern england. all that rain is travelling eastwards, so by the end of the day northern ireland will have sunshine and showers. to the north of that band of rain, one or two showers across southern scotland, and to the south of it, a bit more cloudy than today but nonetheless still some sunshine and temperatures at best getting up towards the mid—20s. then, as we head on into wednesday, we have that front draped across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england, but it is a weakening feature. sunshine on either side of it, starting to get hot or very warm across parts of england and wales. in fact, around the london area once again we could see highs around 27 or 28, and in

old muggy 28 is 82 fahrenheit, and it will feel quite humid as well. you were saying the favourite time at wimbledon is when the dogs turn up. what time do they turn up? now, they have just arrived. they are so cute and so enthusiastic, they are really tucking away at the leeds of their handlers, to go and explore. thank you very much. we are finding out not only the weather, but who let the dogs out as well. anyone? no? i couldn't help myself! did you fill up i couldn't help myself! did you fill up yourcar i couldn't help myself! did you fill up your car over the weekend?” i couldn't help myself! did you fill up your car over the weekend? i did. i noticed it was rather cheap, you're looking at that this morning? good news for drivers at the moment. thanks very much and good morning. yes, it started at the end of last week. the price of a barrel of crude oil fell sharply, so supermarkets cut prices to match. back in february, the price of a barrel of oil was around $56 dollars a barrel.

but that's down to $48 a barrel this month and that means it's cheaper to produce petrol and diesel. petrol was at £1.20, or 120 pence per litre in february, but is now down to around 114 pence. and diesel‘s also fallen. it's gone from 123 pence back in february to an average of 115 pence per litre today. james spencer is a consultant at portland fuel. good morning. let's talk about why. i've touched on the fact crude prices are down, that means barometer reel is cheaper so therefore the refinement is cheaper, therefore the refinement is cheaper, the petrol and the diesel, and that's to do with america? pretty much. for the last three years all

roads have led to shane doyle and that's what we've seen so if you go back to 2015, there was a glut of production of shale oil and that push prices down, they went down to about $25 a barrel, that was their low point in january about $25 a barrel, that was their low point injanuary 2016. what about $25 a barrel, that was their low point in january 2016. what then happened is that shale oil industry began to go bust, or at least they started to... it is quite expensive to get out of the ground? historically it has been but through innovation and technology it's becoming much cheaper. that is what has confounded the industry, the shale oil industry has found a level which previously people thought they couldn't break even, they thought around $60 a barrel, they can't survive below that, in fact it's proving more around $50 a barrel. as the price ticked up the shale oil industry came back into the market and that's created another supply glut, pushing prices down which is what we've seen now. why are there

differences across the country? we talk about averages but there are still big disparities? that's true, thatis still big disparities? that's true, that is to do with supermarkets or big populations, the through put in petrol stations is bigger, the prices reflect wholesale prices quicker, if you're in a rural petrol station you might have stock from two weeks ago and it takes longer to churn through. whenever we talk about oil we talk about 0pec, the cartel that traditionally all the countries in the middle east club together to decide the price they sell at. that power is waning? it's a big game changer. 0pec are collectively scratching their heads because everything they do isn't having the effect they want. they announced production cuts, they got russia on board to do that, they announced an extension in may and that has barely passed off with a whimper on the markets because the people holding the cards are the

shale oil producers. which way next, up shale oil producers. which way next, up or down? it probably won't go too much further down, i don't think it will rise rapidly but i can't see it dropping much more. thanks, james spencerfrom dropping much more. thanks, james spencer from portland fuel. dropping much more. thanks, james spencerfrom portland fuel. more from the at 7am. —— more from the. —— more from me. let's go back to wimbledon now where andy murray will begin the defence of his title at 1pm this afternoon. you've been talking to andy? we've been lucky to have a fantastic amount of time with andy this year, we are amount of time with andy this year, we a re halfway amount of time with andy this year, we are halfway through the queue at the moment, it stretches for some considerable distance. some of these people have been here since saturday, a 48—hour queue is not unheard of. everyone is getting up, brushing their teeth and having a delicious burgerfor brushing their teeth and having a delicious burger for breakfast but they are all having a marvellous

time. lots of people here to see andy murray, he's up on centre court at1pm. iwanted andy murray, he's up on centre court at 1pm. i wanted to find a way to get more out of andy murray, to see a different side of murray so what we did was we found children from corners of this country to ask the questions they thought mattered, and they got away with being a lot cheeky then i could ever have done. have a look at this. i'm andy, nice to meet you. gregor, you're from tumbling, right? shall we hit a few balls together? —— dunblane. that was bigger than me! that was good. welcome, andy, to our murray masterclass with our mini murrays, these are some of the toughest questions you're going to a nswer toughest questions you're going to answer in the next fortnight. come on, gregor. who's cooking do you prefer, your grand, your mum, your wife? i've tasted your grand's

cooking at the dunblane tennis and it's delicious. you're lucky. it's definitely not my mum, she doesn't cook well, i don't like my mum's food. that's mean. it's a really tough question, my gran has a lot of experience cooking so i would say it would just be her but my wife is also a good cook. it isn't my mum, she would definitely be third on the list. there we go! hit the roof! that's not easy! what is the best moment of your life so far? best moment of my life would be when my daughter was born. and that was a great year for you? it ended up being a good year on the court but it was a better one off it for sure. what is the best thing about being a dad?m off it for sure. what is the best thing about being a dad? it gives you... when you become a parent i think a different perspective on

life because you now have to take ca re of life because you now have to take care of someone and bring the child up, to teach them everything from... it could be eating, walking, talking, good manners, things like that, so you feel a lot more responsible and i think that's a very positive thing. we've got a lefty! wow! good effort! who inspired you to play tennis and what would your advice be if someone wa nted would your advice be if someone wanted to be a tennis playerjust like you? i would say my mum inspired me and my brother to play tennis. she used to play when she was younger and she really coached me and my brother until we were, like, nine orten me and my brother until we were, like, nine or ten years old. the best piece of advice i could give to anyone wanting to play tennis would be to have fun when you're a kid, enjoy playing and to listen to your coach. there we go. that's excellent. very good, guys. who do

you send the most texts to? i've got my phone in here and it has on my phone... i'm going to tell you exactly who that is. currently it's my wife and my brother would be the two that i send the most texts to. hannah, what's your question? two that i send the most texts to. hannah, what's your question7m two that i send the most texts to. hannah, what's your question? if you could be anyone in history, who would you be and why? if i could be anyone in history? that's a very difficult question.” said they would be tough... there's beena said they would be tough... there's been a lot of amazing people. as a sports person i would like to have been mohammad ali. he was amazing at what he did but he also lived a very interesting and difficult life and he would have experienced a lot, so i would have liked to have seen what it was like to have been him.” think that's our toughest question over with. that's a hard question. toughest one over with, this last

one is from me. you're coming into wimbledon, 30 years old, you've achieved world number one status, what does the next ten years old for you, do you know? i hope the next four or five years still involve me playing tennis at the highest level but i don't think when i'm in my late 305 i'll be playing tennis sol hope it means having a bigger family, i'd like to have more children, but then after that i have absolutely no idea. that'5 5till children, but then after that i have absolutely no idea. that'5 still a way5 away, i'm still concentrating on my tenni5 right now. way5 away, i'm still concentrating on my tennis right now. how do you think our mini murrays have done today? very good. kids, what was it like interviewing the best tennis player in the world? fun! was in that brilliant? and we got a tiny hint, i think he knew there was another mini murray on the way —— wasn't that. we heard the news that kim barry is expecting their second child. we will be talking to his mum

in the next half an hour —— that ciaran is. i will be asking her what she thinks about that cooking comment —— kim is. she thinks about that cooking comment -- kim is. great job, thank you very much! something we have to clearup, afew you very much! something we have to clear up, a few of our eagle eyed viewers have spotted you have a number on you. i can't believe it, i've got the remnants of a tattoo here that i have tried to get off, i didn't think i would need to get it off because i'm covering it up! she's not been in prison, she's got the triathlon number on her leg. what is it? 1008. that's a good number, it clears it up for you! i'll have to rub it off! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. police are continuing to question a man after a 16—year—old girl was killed and six other teenagers injured when a car crashed into them in south london. it happened in croydon in the early hours of sunday morning. the man, who's in his 30s,

is being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. the 60 day jews the 60 dayjews who have been taken to hospital are not in a life—threatening situation —— —— six teenagers. the mayor of london has rejected calls to re—organise local government in the capital following the grenfell tower fire. the foreign office minister and former kensington councillor mark field suggested london should have fewer and bigger local authorities so they're better equipped to respond to major crises. but the mayor disagrees. as a former councillor myself i think by and large it works well. experts i've spoken to haven't persuaded me there's an argument to reduce the numbers, so i think we should improve what we've got by making sure the central government devolves more power to london, and notjust me as the mayor but to councils as well, i'm not in favour

of abolishing councils. the tube is all looking good at the moment, no reported problems on any of those lines there. there's a reduced service today on some southern and gatwick express routes because of industrial action. there are very limited services between tulse hill, peckham rye and london bridge and no southern services to and from beckenham junction. let's take a look at the roads in victoria. grosvenor gardens is down to one lane for traffic coming out of the one way system towards hyde park, there are works taking place. in dulwich, the a205, the south circular, thurlow park road, is closed towards tulse hill from gallery road to west dulwich. let's have a check on the weather. good morning. of course it's the first week of wimbledon, quite a cloudy start this morning and that cloud producing spots of rain here and there. we've already seen some this morning but it should clear fairly quickly. sunny spells expected through the afternoon. the cloud is quite thick so don't be surprised if you get a spot or two of rain. through the afternoon most places staying dry, the cloud thinning and breaking and we should see some spells of sunshine. the maximum between 23 and 25.

0vernight tonight it's going to be quite a warm one, the windfalls lighter, quite a bit of cloud but clear spells as well. minimum 14 to 16 so fairly uncomfortable within the m25, quite a warm night and a warm start tomorrow. again quite a bit of cloud but it's looking like a dry day. hopefully that cloud should thin here and there, we could get a sunny spells or two, quite warm again, 24 or 25. wednesday is looking like the warmest day of the week, temperatures up at around 26 or maybe 27. it's not until thursday that we start to see this moving up and the potential for some thundery showers later on on thursday, overnight and into friday morning. so first few days of wimbledon looking predominantly dry, sunny spells and the potential for some thundery spells later on on thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. andy plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. growing pressure on the government to abolish the 1% cap on pay rises for public sector workers. borisjohnson becomes the latest cabinet minister to call for a boost to workers' wages, but downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. good morning, it is monday 3july. also this morning: for the first time in almost a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession thanjoining it, according to figures released today. donald trump is accused of encouraging violence towards journalists, after he tweets this video of him attacking a man with a cnn news logo on his head.

new plans to tackle soaring energy prices. the regulator says there will be a new price cap for those on low incomes, and more incentives for us all to switch suppliers. i will have the details. strawberries and cream at the ready. wimbledon gets underway today, so we have sent sally and carol to sw19. good morning, welcome to wimbledon 2017. as he starts the defence of his wimbledon title today, andy murray says he is fit, despite suffering with a hip problem. but the world number one has already faced some of his toughest questions this fortnight, when he was interrogated by our mini—murrays, who wanted to know who was the best cook in his family. my gran has got a lot of experience cooking, so i'll say it would just — just be her. it isn't my mum, she would definitely be third on the list. more from them later.

let's cross to inside the all england tennis club, where carol has got the weather. well, we have just well, we havejust had well, we have just had a small shower in wimbledon, but it should tend to clear in the next couple of hours and for the wimbledon forecast it is going to be dry, sunny and warm with just the outside chance we could see a shower, but the chances are high that it will stay dry. for most of the uk it is dry, some sunshine around and highs up to 24 celsius will feel quite pleasant. i will have more in about 15 minutes. the foreign secretary has added his voice to the growing calls from within the cabinet for theresa may to lift the 1% cap on pay rises for public sector workers. the limit is due to be in place until 2020, but a government source said borisjohnson strongly believed pay rises could be achieved without putting undue pressure on the public finances. 0ur political correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. what is going on here, and could

there be a pay rise? yes, good morning to you. yet again the cabinet appear unleashed on public sector pay, and to answer your question, i think there will be public sector pay rises, i think thatis public sector pay rises, i think that is inevitable given the voices we are hearing out of different corners of the cabinet. what has been happening on public sector pay? backin been happening on public sector pay? back in 2011 there was a pay freeze. thenin back in 2011 there was a pay freeze. then in 2013 this 1% pay cap was imposed, and what that means is that, if it was to stay in place another couple of years, until 2019, the purchasing power of public sector pay, what it is worth in the shops, would pretty much be the same as it was all the way back in 2005. conservatives got a bit of an earbashing from some on the doorsteps in the election campaign over public sector pay, and private

sector pay is growing at the moment a bit faster, so that pressure is growing. now, the pay review bodies for some in the public sector are due to announce their findings in just the next couple of weeks. the government now saying, as you just the next couple of weeks. the government now saying, as you were saying, that they will make a judgement on a case—by—case basis. i think that means that whatever those public sector bodies say and recommend, the government will feel obliged to act upon. so it looks like the public sector pay cap is about to bite the dust. meanwhile, figures out today show that, for the first time in nearly a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk thanjoining it. that is according to the nursing and midwifery council, which points to pay levels as one of the factors. sarah smith reports. for years, the numbers registering to work as nurses and midwives have been going in one direction — up. and, with increasing demands on our health service, that has been crucial. these latest figures showing more staff leaving than joining should,

according to the healthcare union unison, ring alarm bells with the government, and could signal a staffing crisis. between last march and this, the numbers on the register dropped by more than 1,700. over the following two months, there was a more dramatic move, the number going down again by more than 3,000. it is only a small proportion of the total number of nurses registered, but it is the significance of the downward trend which is causing concern. there is a great demand for the right standards of care to be delivered across the uk. if the numbers continue to fall, then clearly some action needs to be taken to reverse that trend. in a survey of staff who had left, for those not retiring, the biggest factors were working conditions and disillusionment with the quality of care provided to patients. low pay was also mentioned. the highest proportion of leavers were british nurses. of eu nurses surveyed, a third quoted brexit as a reason for going.

in a statement, the department of health said it has launched a national programme to ensure nurses have the support they need to continue their vital work. and we will be speaking to the chief executive of the royal college of nursing at 7:10am this morning. the public inquiry into decades of historical child abuse injersey will report its findings later today. more than 600 witnesses have given evidence about abuse in children's homes and in foster care. police recorded more than 500 alleged offences, of which 315 were said to have been committed at the haut de la garenne children's home. president trump has been accused of inciting violence against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof wrestling video showing him assaulting a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his head. in the footage, he is shown punching the cnn character repeatedly. the president regularly accuses cnn

and other media outlets of broadcasting what he calls fake news. 0ur correspondent tom burridge has more. it is president trump's latest attack on the so—called mainstream media, a video from 2007, when donald trump appeared at a wwe wrestling event. ringside, he pretended to beat someone up. but, on the version of the video the president has tweeted, a cnn logo is superimposed on the man's head. prominent american journalists, even some right—wing commentators, have criticised the video. this is not "modern—day presidential". it is modern—day crass, it is modern—day coarseness. it is an incitement to violence. 0ne senior aide to the president said no—one would perceive the video as a threat against the media. but even supporters of president trump say his tweets are a distraction. we want him to concentrate

on what is important to the american people, like tax reform and repealing 0bamacare and national security, and we would really like for him to put down the twitter account. away from the protests, many americans like donald trump's provocative style. mr trump said his tweets are those of a modern president. cnn described the video he tweeted asjuvenile behaviour, far below the dignity of the office of president. i think people are divided on this, we are slightly divided.” i think people are divided on this, we are slightly divided. i am not sure i am saying it is a brilliant video, iam sure i am saying it is a brilliant video, i am just saying people seem to be taking great offence, when i think there is an element of sense of humourfailure think there is an element of sense of humour failure from some people who are offended by that but not why the comedian who held up a

decapitated head of the president. so feel free to get in touch, tell us what you think. i don't watch a lot of wrestling, so i didn't know it was all heavily scripted and all the rest of it, to me it looks quite violent. exactly, and you can see there is clearly violence in the video and you can see why are people look at that and think i can't believe president has tweeted that from his official account, and it was re— tweeted from the official potus account. we will be discussing ita potus account. we will be discussing it a little bit later on. a number of flights into gatwick airport were diverted last night after reports of a drone flying close to the runway. easyjet said four of its flights had been diverted, while british airways said one plane had been sent to bournemouth. 0ther flights had to circle the airport as a precaution. sussex police are investigating. the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire, will make a statement in parliament today about the talks to restore devolved government at stormont. the latest legal deadline for the negotiations passed on thursday. 0ur ireland correspondent

chris buckler reports. for months, northern ireland has been without a government. deadline after deadline has passed, and despite long days and nights of negotiations at stormont, there is still no deal to restore power—sharing, and the parties are blaming each other. at this minute in time, that requires sinn fein to change its attitude and its approach to these talks, and not demand the sort of 10—0 win that it is looking for. sinn fein is demanding that the dup agrees to official status for the irish language, and the introduction of same—sex marriage in northern ireland. this is now the only part of the uk where two men or two women cannot get married, and at the weekend, there was a large march in the centre of belfast in support of changing the law. we don't want cultural supremecy. we want equality, and a rights—based society for everybody and when you have a rights—based society for everybody, people's rights, whether you're

from the orange tradition or any other tradition, is protected in law. 4:00pm last thursday had been set as the final opportunity for agreement. now today, after a weekend of stalemate, the northern ireland secretary, james brokenshire, is going to have to take action. he can call elections, have westminster take over the running of northern ireland for a time, or try to delay things further. but he knows power—sharing at stormont needs parties who are willing to work together. two people have miraculously walked away with just minor injuries after their supercar crashed into the side of a house and burst into flames. these images were taken by fire crews at the crash site near trowbridge, in wiltshire, where there is not much of the vehicle left. it is understood it is a mclaren sports car, although it is difficult to tell. it ploughed into this home in heywood yesterday morning. no—one who lived in the house was injured, either. quite remarkable, though.

for the first time in recent history, more midwives and nurses are leaving the profession than arejoining. according to the nursing and midwifery council, those under the age of retirement are blaming staffing levels, standards of care and low pay. joining us now from our london newsroom is janet davies, who is the chief executive of the royal college of nursing. good morning to you, janet. thank you very much for your time this morning. what do you think... we heard there are some of the official reasons. what are your own thoughts on why this has happened for the first time? this is confirming what we are hearing from our nurses every day, that with the conditions they are working under now, they feel really undervalued and although they love nursing, they are struggling to

stay in the profession they love. so there are a number of factors, one of those working conditions. we all know in our hospitals and communities they don't have enough nurses and those who are left with those numbers are struggling, having to work harder and longer hours. there are a couple of other things. there are a couple of other things. the lack of flexibility and support within the work pace, but increasingly the fact that they haven't had a pay rise for so many yea rs haven't had a pay rise for so many years and the cost of living is going up, it means they are really struggling to pay their bills, which is making them reconsider their profession. it is interesting that that public sector pay cap has been there since 2013 and the total number of registered nurses has increased every year until 2016. so it doesn't seem to have affected numbers coming in for quite sometime. why is it necessary now, do you think? well, it is coming to the crunch point. this is the point when inflation is starting to rise as well, so people are feeling it in their pockets, as well at decreasing staff levels on the wards is making people find their work so hard and

what we are seeing is also the quick fix has often been to bring people in from overseas, so we have had quite a big boost from the european union, from our european nurses and elsewhere. they are not coming in in the same numbers, so we are seeing the same numbers, so we are seeing the significance of what is happening with our british nurses. use a significant, and if you look a little deeper into the numbers, the actual drop since march of last year has only been around 5000 out of a total of nearly 700,000. so it is not that significant change, is that fairto not that significant change, is that fair to say? it is 2096 more which are leaving than joining, fair to say? it is 2096 more which are leaving thanjoining, and that is significant, because we are not having people coming in at the same time as they are leaving. so it is 20% of the difference, which will make a difference notjust now but in years to come unless we do something about it.” in years to come unless we do something about it. i know you are not a politician. you save do something about it, what would you like to see pay rise by? well, we need to look at the earnings of nurses, we need to look at how much

they have lost over the years, it is up they have lost over the years, it is up to 14% for some. i was with nurses last year who showed me their payslips from 2009 and last week, and it was exactly the same. their costs have been going up, so we need to work out what that is going to be but what we do need is to take that false cap off, which means we are not actually looking at what nurses deserve at the moment. and if that is paid for by taxation, that will hit the nurses as well, along with everybody else. of course, but it is a political decision to determine how much we want to put into our health service, and part of our health service, and part of our health service, and part of our health service is actually paying a fair wage to those people who actually provide the care. are you concerned, we actually provide the care. are you concerned , we are actually provide the care. are you concerned, we are talking particular about this year and you say that this is the tipping point, are you

concerned that what these figures will look like next year? absolutely, a number of things have happened and there are a number of reasons nurses are feeling so undervalued, and the other is removing the funding for the training of ourfuture nurses removing the funding for the training of our future nurses so removing the funding for the training of ourfuture nurses so in september will be the first time we see nurses coming into their training programme having to take out a loan. we already know that has put people off, people telling us they haven't started their nurse training, we know it is really low in other places and thatjust went into savings, it didn't go into more funding elsewhere in the education of nurses and 50% of those nurses will be spending their time caring for us in our communities and hospitals. and there hasn't been an increase in the placement money. janet, thanks for your time. to let you know what the department of health have said," we are making sure we have the nurses we need to continue delivering world—class patient care, that is why almost 13,100 are on our wards since may 2010 and 52,000 ayim training. we need to retain our excellent nurses

and we launched a national programme this week to ensure nurses have what they need to continue their vital work —— are in training". wimbledon sta rts work —— are in training". wimbledon starts today and carol is there this morning. we've seen sally with her brolly, what's going on? we've had some spots of rain this morning. it's now tending to clear and the forecast for wimbledon is just that. there have been seven championships we re there have been seven championships were play hasn't been interrupted at all by rain. the last one was in 2010 but will it be today? the forecast for wimbledon is largely dry. we've had the rain this morning, now it's moving away, we still have a bit of cloud that will break up, we'll see some sunshine but there's the chance of a shower but there's the chance of a shower but there's the chance of a shower but there's a higher chance it will stay dry and it will be pleasantly warm in light breezes today, temperatures up to 22 or possibly 23 or even 24. the forecast for much of

the uk today is dry. there are some showers scattered around at the moment and many will see the and sunny spells develop. as we start the forecast at 9am in southern england, quite a bit of cloud around, a weak weather front producing spots of rain and as we go further north into the midlands, east anglia and northern england, i get quite a bit of cloud with one or two showers. for scotland today compare the two yesterday, a drier date but nonetheless showers in the west, a fine day in northern ireland but the cloud will build later with rain -- but the cloud will build later with rain —— compare the two yesterday, a drier day. 0utbreaks rain —— compare the two yesterday, a drier day. 0utbrea ks of rain —— compare the two yesterday, a drier day. outbreaks of rain in south—west england —— compared to yesterday. in hampshire we have cloud, like we have at wimbledon, with one or two showers. through the day we lose our weather front, the cloud break suck, we see some sunshine, still showers at times in east anglia and the midlands —— brea ks east anglia and the midlands —— breaks up. in western scotland we

could see some. in the sunshine temperatures roughly between 18 and 22 degrees, possibly 24 in london. through the evening and overnight rain will advance across northern ireland, some of it will be heavy, and then eventually it will get in across central and southern scotland and northern england. 0n either side of it, drier, clearspells and northern england. 0n either side of it, drier, clear spells and temperatures roughly 11 to 15. we start tomorrow with the rain again across northern ireland, central and southern scotland and northern england but during the day as it goes eastwards it will improve in northern ireland to sunshine and showers. in scotland to the north of the rain band, a few showers, some bright spells and sunshine and to the south of it, warmer, more cloud than today but still some sunshine and temperatures up to 24 or 25. as we head into wednesday, wednesday is looking quite hot and humid in the south, again temperatures getting to

28 in any sunshine. we still have a wea k 28 in any sunshine. we still have a weak weather front draped across parts of northern ireland, central and southern scotland and northern england producing splashes of rain. to the north of that again some sunshine and one or two showers. it's england and wales as we head into wednesday that's going to see the very warm or hot weather. scotla nd the very warm or hot weather. scotland and northern ireland, temperatures roughly where they should be at this time of year. thanks very much, i'd definitely underestimated the need for some cream yesterday is so thank you for that, carol! ben was talking about christmas earlier on... gas and electricity bills could be cut for low—income households as part of plans just announced by the energy regulator to cap prices. ben can tell us more. this is no christmas giveaway! it is distinctly underwhelming, 0fgem have told us, it was much heralded they would announce plans to cut allsorts of things like put a cap on energy prices and make it easier to switch. they've announced some of it but as a lwa ys they've announced some of it but as always with these things they are

proposals, suggestions about what the industry might do. the first one isa cap the industry might do. the first one is a cap on how much they would charge customers who are forced to ta ke charge customers who are forced to take a prepayment metre. it's called installing it under warrant at a prepayment metre, for those who can't or will it pay their energy bills, they will often be charged extortionate prices to put their metre in, that will be £150, but the rest of proposals include price comparison websites. they say switching is at a nine—year high, more of us are doing it but too many think it's a lot of hassle to switch so it should be easier. they're going to change the rules on how easy it is to do that, if you spot something you want to switch to online you can click and change to that tariff. they say there's too many people stuck on expensive ta riffs many people stuck on expensive tariffs for too long so they're going to write to customers to say you know you can get a better tariff if you go elsewhere. but, i'm going to speak to the boss of 0fgem, the

regulator, in the next half—hour, andi regulator, in the next half—hour, and i will ask him whether he thinks it gersbach enough in terms of capping what people pay for their bills. —— if it goes far enough. they say they want to protect the vulnerable but it doesn't go far enough to protect. 0fgem has the power to put a cap across the industry but it would require legislation and parliament, legislation and parliament, legislation would have to go through parliament and regulation would have to go under the rath of the companies. -- the rath. it's the moment on twitter that's got lots of you talking this weekend when president trump posted this video. we will explain a bit about what it is. it's a wrestling spoof showing him assaulting a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his head. he's seen here punching the character to the ground. donald trump has regularly accused cnn and other media outlets

of broadcasting what he calls fake news. joining us now is professor of american politics at university of birmingham, scott lucas. there's no doubt that people are divided on this. when i see that it looks incredibly violent so explain the context of the video? about ten years ago when he was just donald trump and making his celebrity name he appeared for several weeks on world wrestling entertainment, millions of fans watch this every week and he was a character in the show. his character is shown hitting the head of world wrestling entertainment vince mcmahon as they fight for control of the organisation. this is horley storyline when he is hosting the apprentice, it builds up donald trump as they personality that this

is all a storyline when he is hosting the apprentice —— this is all a storyline when he is hosting the apprentice. he reposted it from a website, they do have a history of promoting violence, is that right? there's two things, first he took it from reddit, a general site anyone can post on and this user, people have gone through this person and he's hostile to people of colour, he is anti—semitic and very aggressive towards journalists. he is anti—semitic and very aggressive towardsjournalists. he put this is anti—semitic and very aggressive towards journalists. he put this up about four days ago and someone in the white house, or tom himself, got hold of it and reposted it —— or trump himself. the second is a war on the media and i use that term deliberately. before this we saw donald trump going after another outlet, msnbc, making derogatory comments about a presenter meeker parisians key. before that for months he's been going after the new

york times and the washington post and even the bbc and what he's trying to do is deny the legitimacy of any news organisation that criticises him and that's what makes this more than entertainment, even if we are going... if you watch any of this closely the white house state m e nts of this closely the white house statements now and all the questioning, it's become really quite extraordinary, the antagonism from both sides, hasn't it? on the one side with journalists, sometimes journalists get it wrong, i dare say the bbc might have got it wrong once or twice but what you're seeing is this frustration that they're just trying to do theirjob but they're doing it with a white house, and here i've got to be careful, but if you go back months the white house has worked with its own alternative faqs ever since they were worried about the size of the inaugural

crowd —— alternative facts. they continue this ongoing diversion, don't look here, look over their. the important political effect is we're not talking about this rather than healthcare we're not talking about this rather than healthca re or the we're not talking about this rather than healthcare or the economy or tax recoding. we've been having this discussion ourselves, have a sense of humour, it's a wrestling video, but it is spectacularly unpresidential. he has called it modern—day presidential, dealing directly with people, but you can't think of any other world leader who would put this out there, can you?” think vladimir putin might do it in russia but i was both mesmerised and horrified because it is part of entertainment, that's where it comes from, but i'm horrified because he's not supposed to be an entertainer, he's meant to be the commander—in—chief in a system where you respect the media and those that disagree with you and clearly he has no respect for those that might

criticise him. very interesting, thanks for talking to us and for all your messages about that as well. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning: we're at wimbledon where andy murray will start the defence of his title at 1pm this afternoon. sally will be having a chat with his mum judy in about ten minutes. i love the way we queue in this country, it couldn't be more ordered or civilised. and there's even rules, there is a board saying this is how we queue at wimbledon, do it the british way! but the weather doesn't look great and pharrell williams telling us about that as well. —— carol will be telling us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. more than 240,000 people have signed a petition calling for tighter laws of buying acid following an attack

two cousins in becton east london last month. they were left with life changing injuries. the petition calls for the law to be changed so anyone buying acid would need a licence and to undergo background checks. the mayor of london has rejected calls to re—organise local government in the capital following the grenfell tower fire. the foreign office minister and former kensington councillor mark field suggested london should have fewer and bigger local authorities so they're better equipped to respond to major crises. but the mayor disagrees. as a former councillor myself i think by and large it works well. experts i've spoken to haven't persuaded me there's an argument to reduce the numbers, so i think we should improve what we've got by making sure the central government devolves more power to london, and notjust me as the mayor but to councils as well, i'm not in favour of abolishing councils. the tube is all looking good at the moment, no reported problems on any of those lines there. there's a reduced service today on some southern and gatwick express routes because of industrial action.

there are very limited services between tulse hill, peckham rye and london bridge and no southern services to and from beckenham junction. let's take a look at the roads in victoria. grosvenor gardens is down to one lane for traffic coming out of the one way system towards hyde park, there are works taking place. in dulwich, the a205, the south circular, thurlow park road, is closed towards tulse hill from gallery road to west dulwich. it's because a burst water main is being repaired. let's have a check on the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. of course it's the first week of wimbledon, quite a cloudy start this morning and that cloud producing spots of rain here and there. we've already seen some this morning but it should clear fairly quickly. sunny spells expected through the afternoon. the cloud is quite thick so don't be surprised if you get a spot or two of rain. through the afternoon most places staying dry, the cloud thinning and breaking and we should see some spells of sunshine. the maximum between 23 and 25. 0vernight tonight it's going to be quite a warm one,

the windfalls lighter, quite a bit of cloud but clear spells as well. minimum 14 to 16 so fairly uncomfortable within the m25, quite a warm night and a warm start tomorrow. again quite a bit of cloud but it's looking like a dry day. hopefully that cloud should thin here and there, we could get a sunny spells or two, quite warm again, 24 or 25. wednesday is looking like the warmest day of the week, temperatures up at around 26 or maybe 27. it's not until thursday that we start to see this moving up and the potential for some thundery showers later on on thursday, overnight and into friday morning. so first few days of wimbledon looking predominantly dry, sunny spells and the potential for some thundery spells later on on thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. the foreign secretary has become the latest member of the cabinet to put pressure on the chancellor to relax the public sector pay cap. sources close to borisjohnson have made it clear he wants a better dealfor workers. hejoins michael gove, who has suggested the 1% pay cap should be lifted. downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. figures out today show that, for the first time in nearly a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk thanjoining it. in the year to march, the number registered fell by nearly 1,800, to almost 691,000, with british nurses quitting in the greatest numbers. but the government said there were now 13,000 more nurses working in england than in 2010. speaking earlier on breakfast, the chief executive

of the royal college of nursing, janet davies, told us that pay could be part of the reason people are leaving the profession. well, we need to look at the earnings of nurses, we need to look at how much they have lost over the years, it is up to 14% for some. i was with nurses last year who showed me their payslips from 2009 and their payslip last week, and it was exactly the same. their costs have been going up, so we need to work out what that is going to be. but what we do need is to take that false cap off, which means we are not actually looking at what nurses deserve at the moment. 0fgem says they will be consulting on how to protect the most vulnerable customers from higher prices and around 2 million people could face lower bills as a result.

they have plans to make switching energy suppliers easier. the public inquiry into decades of historical child abuse injersey will report its findings later today. more than 600 witnesses have given evidence about abuse in children's homes and in foster care. police recorded more than 500 alleged offences, of which 315 were said to have been committed at the haut de la garenne children's home. president trump has been accused of inciting violence against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof video showing him assaulting a man with a cnn logo superimposed on his head. in the wrestling video, he is shown punching the cnn character repeatedly. the president regularly accuses cnn and other media outlets of broadcasting what he calls fake news. it has been retweeted more than 250,000 times. so many of you getting in contact about that this morning. clare saying you cannot compare the conduct of a comedian with that of

the president. another viewer says it is not the sense of humour failure, and the man is potus. it comes failure, and the man is potus. it co m es after failure, and the man is potus. it comes after allegations of him threatening tv reporters and we were speaking to scott lucas, an expert in politics a few moments ago. one thing he was saying is that there is a lot of talk around the white house that the first thing president trump does when he wakes up, looks at the tv, looks at social media and starts reacting so the white house have to spend much of the day reacting to that, because there is no filter at that, because there is no filter at that point, so that is what scott lucas was saying. a number of flights into gatwick airport were diverted last night after reports of a drone flying close to the runway. easyjet said four of its flights had been diverted, while british airways said one plane had been sent to bournemouth. 0ther flights had to circle the airport as a precaution. sussex police are investigating. coming up on the programme,

carol will have the weather from wimbledon. and sally is also there for a us today. she has been speaking to andy murray, and she is beside the queues, which are very calm and collected. good morning, and have you noticed? collected. good morning, and have you noticed ? i collected. good morning, and have you noticed? iam not collected. good morning, and have you noticed? i am not alone. collected. good morning, and have you noticed? iam not alone. 0ur special guest this morning, judy murray is with me on the sofa. we have lots of sports news to get through, but first of all i have to say congratulations, there is a new murray baby on the way. yes, lovely new5. murray baby on the way. yes, lovely news. you must be delighted, brilliant. let's start with the tennis. andy murray begins his defence of the title later on centre court. he has been suffering with a hip problem, but andy murray says he is fit as he starts the defence of his wimbledon title today. he is first up on centre court against the world number 134,

alexander bublik. murray is desperately short of practice on grass. he was forced to pull out of two exhibition matches last week. it is just a little bit stressful, because at this point in the year, right before the slam, and the biggest tournament of the year for me, as a brit, you want to be prepared. i want to be out there practising. and i haven't been in that position before, really. but you just have to try and stay patient, you know, stay calm. fellow british number one johanna konta also has question marks over her fitness. she has been struggling with injury since she fell heavily at eastbourne on friday, but has said she is recovering really well. she is last up on court 0ne. she faces the woman who knocked her out of the first round of the french open, hsieh su—wei, from taiwan. straight on centre court after murray is the two—time winner petra kvitova. she has only recently returned to the tour, after her playing hand was injured in a knife attack in december. but she looks in great form, winning the aegon classic in birmingham a few weeks ago, a result which has made her one

of the favourites. it was my dream, my motivation, to be here, to step on the court and play. and suddenly i am favourite. and no, ijust don't get it, as well. yes, the people probably think about it, but i am not here to win it. i have already won the biggest fight, before, and i won already, that i am here. britain's chris froome and geraint thomas had a lucky escape on the second stage of the tour de france. they recovered from this crash to reach the finish in liege. reigning champion froome remains sixth overall, with his sky teammate geraint thomas in the leader's yellowjersey. tommy fleetwood won the french open golf. the englishman followed his fourth place at the us open with victory in paris. he is expected to move into the world's top 20 today. england beat sri lanka at taunton yesterday for their second win

at the women's world cup. they chased down 205 with more than 19 overs to spare, and will next face south africa on wednesday. let's get back to the tennis, because we are used to seeing and he looking very professional, but this year we wanted to find a way to get to know a little bit more about him —— andy. so we got together some very, very excited super fans, andy murray super fans, from four corners of great britain, to come together and ask him about the questions that really matter. have a look. all: we are the mini murrays! i'm andy, nice to meet you. gregor, you're from dunblane, right? shall we hit a few ball5 together? wow! that was bigger than me! that was good. welcome, andy, to our murray masterclass with our mini murrays here. these are some of the toughest questions you're going to answer

in the next fortnight. come on, gregor. who's cooking do you prefer, your gran's, mum's, or your wife's? ps, i have tasted your gran's cooking at the dunblane tennis and it's delicious. lucky you. it's definitely not my mum, she doesn't cook well. that's mean. i don't like my mum'5 food. it's a really tough question, my gran has a lot of experience cooking so i would say it would just be her but my wife is also a good cook. it isn't my mum, she would definitely be third on the list. oh, there we go! hit the roof! that's not easy! what is the best moment of your life so far? best moment of my life would be when my daughter was born. and that was a great year for you? it ended up being a good year on the court but it was a better one off it for sure.

what is the best thing about being a dad? it gives you, when you become a parent i think, a different perspective on life because you now have to take care of someone and bring the child up. so to teach them everything from... it could be eating, walking, talking, good manners, things like that, so you feel a lot more responsible and i think that's a very positive thing. we've got a lefty! wow! good effort! who inspired you to play tennis and what would your advice be if someone wanted to be a tennis player just like you? i would say my mum inspired me and my brother to play tennis. she used to play when she was younger and she really coached me and my brother until we were, like, nine or ten years old. the best piece of advice that i could give to anyone wanting to play tennis would be to have fun when you're a kid,

enjoy playing and to listen to your coach. there we go. that's excellent. very good, guys. who do you send the most text messages to? i've got my phone in here and it has on my phone... i'm going to tell you exactly who that is. currently it's my wife and my brother would be the two that i send the most texts to. hannah, come on, what's your question? if you could be anyone in history, who would you be and why? if i could be anyone in history? that's a very difficult question. i said they would be tough... there's been a lot of amazing people. as a sports person i would like to have been muhammad ali. he wasn't only amazing at what he did but he also lived a very interesting and difficult life, and he would have experienced a lot, so i would have liked to have seen what it was like to

have been him. i think that's our toughest question over with. yeah, that's a hard question. toughest one over with, this last one is from me. you're coming into wimbledon, 30 years old, you've achieved world number one status. what does the next ten years hold for you, do you know? i'm hoping the next four or five years still involve me playing tennis at the highest level but i don't think when i'm in my late 305 i'll be playing tennis so i hope it means having a bigger family, i'd like to have more children, but then after that i have absolutely no idea. that's still a ways away, i'm still concentrating on my tennis right now. how do you think our mini murrays have done today? good, very good. kids, what was it like interviewing the best tennis player in the world? fun! cani

can ijust can i just say thank you to all of those children, and the mums and dads who brought them along. they we re dads who brought them along. they were the best interviewers i think were the best interviewers i think we have heard for andy. yes, it was tremendous, and he spoke very easily to them and spoken language they can understand. that is really important when you are chatting with kids. although he wasn't always very common entry about you! that is fair enough, that is normal. he says you're cooking is not great. enough, that is normal. he says you're cooking is not greatm enough, that is normal. he says you're cooking is not great. it is not great, my mum is a great cook but i think you were saying i should stick to the coaching. he was also saying you taught him to enjoy tennis, trying to play tennis with a smile on yourface tennis, trying to play tennis with a smile on your face and that is something that you are trying to pass on now to people who are trying to get into tennis, back playing, and even maybe start coaching. yes, i started an initiative with the lta called she rallies, and it is about

staying in tennis. it is one thing to get them in but you have to work ha rd to to get them in but you have to work hard to keep the net, and it is also about building a much bigger and stronger female coaching workforce, because i think the two go hand in hand, that if we had more women delivering, we would better understand how girls tick and what they want, so we have 26 ambassadors, all part—time, across the uk. i train them over two days and they go out and find their own teams of activators from mums, teachers, students, pupils, club members, in order to get more people delivering, not just members, in order to get more people delivering, notjust teaching but running little additions, but making it fun running little additions, but making itfun and running little additions, but making it fun and accessible, and that is the key. so you don't necessarily have to be a great tennis player to learn how to pass on some enthusiasm for the game? no, absolutely not, we show them how to make the game simple to teach and therefore to learn, it is all about breaking down the skills you need to play tennis and being able to cater for the

the skills you need to play tennis and being able to caterfor the big numbers in small spaces, and it is very simple, anyone can get involved. let's talk about andy in more detail, we know he has been struggling with a hit problem. how has he been to you? how do you think he is? i think his preparation hasn't been idealfor him, that is just the way it goes. that is just sport, but i think he has been getting a bit tanner and better every day, which is all you can hope for, really, when you are carrying an injury. but he is in good spirits, and of course he knows exactly what to expect. he loves wimbledon and gets huge support from the crowd, so i know he will be out there doing his best to defend the title. and you know that these players at the highest level, very often they are going into a big tournament carrying some kind of injury. certainly the top four men's players have been around a long time, haven't they? and they are not necessarily going to always be injury free. it is something you live with, i guess. yes, it is part

of your life is dealing with nicholls and dealing with injuries, but the top players on the men's side are all in their 30s and are incredible shape —— niggles. but they have trainers and so forth to give them the best possible care and advice. but let's see what happens. i mentioned johanna konta, she didn't have the best preparation, that awful fall at eastbourne, how can she do here? she can do very well but there's a number of women that can do well here, without serena there's no stand out so it's a chance for all of them and konta will be one of the pack who has a chance because she has a big serve, her game is quite well—suited to the grass so assuming she is fit and in good shape she has as good a chance as anyone. you mention it is wide open, especially on the women's side, wide open this year, opportunities abound, now here's an opportunityjudy murray can't pass up. would you please introduce your friend for the next part of the

programme? over to my wimbledon star, carol, for the weather. you said some pretty rough things in the past, judy, but thanks and nice to see you! this morning we've had the odd shower at wimbledon but it's clear the way now, the temperature is rising and the forecast for wimbledon is dry. there's the chance ofa wimbledon is dry. there's the chance of a shower but there's a higher chance it's going to stay dry and despite the fact you can see 22 on the chart, we're looking at highs of around 24, possibly 25. after a cloudy start with a few showers for most it will be dry and sunny spells. if we start the forecast at 9am in southern england, there's a fair bit of cloud around this morning, a weak weather front producing some showery outbreaks of rain here and their. as we go further north through the midlands into east anglia and northern england, again we are looking at variable amounts of cloud, some

sunny breaks and in scotland, a much drier day than yesterday with some sunshine but still a few showers in the west. beautiful start to the day in northern ireland with sunshine, a few showers flirting with the far north. across wales, back into the cloud again, breaking up around some sunny spells, one or two showers, and showery outbreaks of rain and murky conditions in south—west england heading towards gloucestershire. further east again, through dorset into hampshire, back under the cloud but that will break up under the cloud but that will break up and we will see sunny spells. through the course of the day we lose our weather front from the south, the cloud breaks, sunshine coming through and through the afternoon the cloud will start to build in the west of northern ireland heralding the arrival of a weather front. in light breezes, highs of 24, feeling quite pleasant and still be odd shower in east anglia and four example kent, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. through the evening

and overnight the rain continues to advance across northern ireland, heavy at times, then gets into central and southern scotland and northern england. quite drizzly across much of wales. temperature wise we are in good shape, 11 to 15. tomorrow we start off with that band of rain in northern ireland, central and southern scotland and northern england, drifting east so turning more showery in northern ireland through the day with sunshine. to the south of that in england and wales, more cloud than today but still sunny spells, highs of 2425. to the north of the rain band, a few showers in the north of scotland but a lot of dry weather and still pleasa nt a lot of dry weather and still pleasant with high teens temperatures —— 24 or 25. on wednesday the odd spot of rain across central and southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland but won't be raining all the time, though. to the north of that, bright spells and a few showers. to the south of that, fair bit of sunshine and hot and

humid. in england and wales we are looking at the mid 20s or even the high 205 as we skipped towards the london area, about 28, 80 two fahrenheit in old muggy —— skip. really warm. i'm admiring how beautiful the grass is —— 82 fahrenheit —— money. ben was talking about 0fgem and the limit on energy firms and how they can charge vulnerable customers and you've got more on that? on talking to the boss of the regulator. these proposals come from the regulator 0fgem and they are intended to cap how much neg firms can charge customers. there are plans in place to overall price comparison sites that should make it easier to switch. let's speak to the head of 0fgem —— energy firms. dermot nolan is in london. good morning. this all came about because the government wrote to you and said you need to

tackle the problem in the market with standard variable rates, people being charged too much, the industry took that to mean 17 million could see a price cap on how much they pat’- see a price cap on how much they pay. what you're announcing today affect just 2 pay. what you're announcing today affectjust 2 million, why the difference? we're announcing today the focus on vulnerable customers, which is important, energy is an essential is the so we're announcing plans we will work intensively with consumer groups in the coming weeks to say how we can offer extra price protection —— energy is an essential is this. that's one of our central ideas. the second set of things we're announcing is a further set of measures that will help people engage more easily in the market, help the non— vulnerable customers if you will, find it easier to switch and use price comparison websites and generally be able to get a better deal. that's the nub of our approach, helping rob people in

the market with engagement and helping those that are vulnerable —— most people. no one is arguing they need their help but that's about 2 million people, what about the 15 million people, what about the 15 million who are still on variable ta riffs million who are still on variable tariffs that cost more, they aren't switching and they paid far too much —— the help. switching and they paid far too much -- the help. there are 4 million people on prepaid ferries. we need to make sure they have good protections —— metres. i take your concern about the market generally but the measures we have announced have made it easierfor people but the measures we have announced have made it easier for people to switch and use price comparison websites. in particular we are focusing on something new today, for people who have been on the same dealfor people who have been on the same deal for years, people who have been on the same dealfor years, we will people who have been on the same deal for years, we will use a digital deal cheika which could be a game changer —— deal cheika. digital deal cheika which could be a game changer -- deal cheika. we've talked about coming up with regulation and legislation to

protect customers and make it easier to switch but people aren't doing it, it's at a nine—year high, more are doing it but not enough are doing it and the energy firms think it's great. energy firms don't think this is great. if they did we would be there to stop them. as you say, switching has arisen, it's gone to a nine—year high, we're looking at features of the other markets, especially in the motor insurance market where switching is higher and we're trying these digital ideas because the market will change in the next few years and there will be smart metre is in every household and increased digitisation, the focus will be on reducing the hassle of switching and getting people to click a few things perhaps even on their phone and getting a better deal —— smart metres. but we have to protect the vulnerable and together asa protect the vulnerable and together as a package we're doing things that will benefit consumers. that welcome change for people who asked switching because anything that makes it easier is a good thing. i question what the energy firms

think, they were expecting a hit on their profits, if you put a cap in on how much they charge 17 million customers, they are rubbing their hands with glee this morning, they can charge what they want for about 15 million people and they won't ta ke 15 million people and they won't take a hit on their profits. we have published profitability data as well but the energy market has changed in the last few years, complaints are falling, there are 50 firms in the sector and i understand the importance of public confidence in this but we are bringing things that will change the energy market in the next three, five to ten years to see a different market that actually may not have the same set of suppliers, may have people engaging and producing their own energy. that's positive and interesting and the model we have for energy supply will change dramatically and could even vanish. the key thing for us is making sure people can engage in that market and also particularly those who are vulnerable and find it

more difficult to interact in the market, its vital that they are protected because energy is an essential service, everyone needs it and the vulnerable are at risk particularly. dermot nolan, the chief executive of 0fgem, i'm sure we will speak about this in due course but thanks for your time this morning. more from me after 8am. let us know what you think about that. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning: some people have queued for two days to see andy murray play at 1pm this afternoon. we might be bad at some things but we are so good at killing.” we might be bad at some things but we are so good at killing. i love the ordered, calm and collected way that we do that —— we are so good at queueing. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. more than 240,000 people have signed a petition calling for tighter laws of buying acid following an attack on two cousins, resham khan and jameel muhktar, in beckton, east london last month. they were left with life changing injuries. the petition calls for the law to be changed so that anyone buying acid would need a licence and to undergo background checks. the mayor of london has rejected calls to re—organise local government in the capital following the grenfell tower fire. the foreign office minister and former kensington councillor mark field suggested london should have fewer and bigger local authorities so they're better equipped to respond to major crises. but the mayor disagrees. as a former councillor myself i think by and large it works well. experts i've spoken to haven't persuaded me there's an argument to reduce the numbers, so i think we should improve what we've got by making sure the central government devolves more power to london, and notjust me as the mayor but to councils as well, i'm not in favour of abolishing councils. the tube is all looking good at the moment,

no reported problems on any of those lines there. there's a reduced service today on some southern and gatwick express routes because of industrial action. there are very limited services between tulse hill, peckham rye and london bridge and no southern services to and from beckenham junction. let's take a look at the roads in victoria. grosvenor gardens is down to one lane for traffic coming out of the one way system towards hyde park, there are works taking place. in dulwich, the a205, the south circular, thurlow park road, is closed towards tulse hill from gallery road to west dulwich. it's because a burst water main is being repaired. let's have a check on the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. of course it's the first week of wimbledon, quite a cloudy start this morning and that cloud producing spots of rain here and there. we've already seen some this morning but it should clear fairly quickly. sunny spells expected through the afternoon. the cloud is quite thick so don't be surprised if you get a spot or two of rain. through the afternoon most places staying dry,

the cloud thinning and breaking and we should see some spells of sunshine. the maximum between 23 and 25. 0vernight tonight it's going to be quite a warm one, the windfalls lighter, quite a bit of cloud but clear spells as well. minimum 14 to 16 so fairly uncomfortable within the m25, quite a warm night and a warm start tomorrow. again quite a bit of cloud but it's looking like a dry day. hopefully that cloud should thin here and there, we could get a sunny spells or two, quite warm again, 24 or 25. wednesday is looking like the warmest day of the week, temperatures up at around 26 or maybe 27. it's not until thursday that we start to see this moving up and the potential for some thundery showers later on on thursday, overnight and into friday morning. so first few days of wimbledon looking predominantly dry, sunny spells and the potential for some thundery spells later on on thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back

to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 8 o'clock. growing pressure on the government to abolish the 1% cap on pay rises for public sector workers. borisjohnson becomes the latest cabinet minister to call for a boost to workers' wages. but downing street says decisions will be made on a case—by—case basis. good morning — it's monday the 3rd ofjuly. thanks for being with us. also this morning: for the first time in almost a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession than joining it, according to figures released today. what's going to happen? donald trump's accused of encouraging violence towards journalists,

after he tweets this video of him attacking a man with a cnn news logo on his head. good morning. more plans to tackle soaring energy prices. the regulator says there will be a cap for those with low incomes and more incentive for all of us to switch suppliers, but do they go far enough? he's best known for playing a cia baddie in the tv drama homeland. f murray abraham will be joining us, as he prepares for his latest role in london's west end. strawberries and cream at the ready — wimbledon gets underway today, so we've sent sally and carol to sw19. good morning. yes, welcome to wimbledon 2017. it all starts today. andy murray defending his title. he insists he is fit despite the fact he has been battling a hip problem over the last couple of weeks. also he has faced one of the biggest challenges of his career, being ——

interrogated by our many murrays, including being asked who is the best cook in his house! my grandmother. definitely, not my mother — she would be third on the list. how cheeky. iwould like mother — she would be third on the list. how cheeky. i would like to see the best cook with us is carol cooke! good morning. we have had some sunshine, improving no. that outside chance of a shower in the afternoon. for most of us, some showers this morning, but it will be dry with sunshine heading through the day. we will be back with more later on. studio: we will see you both later on. thank you very much. they are looking lovely. the foreign secretary's added his voice to the growing calls from within the cabinet for theresa may to lift the one percent cap on pay rises

for public sector workers. the limit is due to be in place until 2020. but a government source said borisjohnson "strongly" believed pay rises could be achieved without putting undue pressure on the public finances. 0ur political correspondent chris mason joins us from westminster. chris, good morning to you, by the way. mrjohnson is the latest member of the government who i suppose feels that this can be questioned from on high? delight yes, the feeling of that sense of strength many cabinet ministers have at the moment —— many cabinet ministers have at the moment -- yes, the feel of that sense of strength. the members are now lining up to say, wait a minute, we think public sector pay should be edging up by more than that cap. this is the history on public sector pat’- this is the history on public sector pay. there was a freeze imposed back in 2011. a couple of years later, 2013, that became a 1% pay cap, and if that was to stay in place for another couple of years until 2019,

the purchasing power, the clout, the power of the penny in your pocket, to buy stuff in the shops as a public sector worker, would be the same ina public sector worker, would be the same in a couple of years' time as it was in 2005. after the crash in 2008 private sector paid to the hit as well, but recently private sector pay has been rising, so that coupled with the ear—bashing tory mps got from some public sector workers on the door campaign at the general election, saying this had to change, it means you are seeing more and more conservatives saying things have to change. the public sector pay review bodies who recommend what should happen to public sector pay, they come up with their reports. we have reports coming for teachers and police in just the next couple of weeks, and the indication seems to be from government, they will listen and take into account and act on what those public sector pay review bodies say. in other words, it looks

like that pay cap is about to bite the dust. the question then is how was it paid for? will it be cut elsewhere or tax rises? that'll be the next round. we look forward to the next round. we look forward to the next round. we look forward to the next row on what will be quite a long list! thank you, mr mason. meanwhile, figures out today show that for the first time in nearly a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk thanjoining it. that's according to the nursing and midwifery council — it says working conditions, workload and poor pay are some of the reasons given. sarah smith reports. for years, the numbers registering to work as nurses and midwives have been going in one direction — up. and, with increasing demands on our health service, that has been crucial. these latest figures showing more staff leaving than joining should, according to the healthcare union unison, ring alarm bells with the government, and could signal a staffing crisis. between last march and this, the numbers on the register dropped by more than 1700.

over the following two months, there was a more dramatic move, the number going down again by more than 3000. it is only a small proportion of the total number of nurses registered, but it is the significance of the downward trend which is causing concern. there is great demand for the right standards of care to be delivered across the uk. if the numbers continue to fall, then clearly some action needs to be taken to reverse that trend. in a survey of staff who had left, for those not retiring the biggest factors were working conditions and disillusionment with the quality of care provided to patients. low pay was also mentioned. the highest proportion of leavers were british nurses. of eu nurses surveyed, a third quoted brexit as a reason for going. in a statement, the department of health said it has launched a national programme to ensure nurses have the support they need to continue their vital work. gas and electricity bills could be cut for low—income households

as part of plans just announced by the energy regulator to cap prices. ben can tell us more. you have been talking to 0fgem as well. how much bite would this have? i'm smiling because they don't have much power at the moment. they have a lot of power at their disposal but it is only from these latest set of proposals, it says they will not do too much yet. the government wrote too much yet. the government wrote to 0fgem, the energy regulator, saying you need to investigate the standard tariffs, the ones you revert to if you do not switch or have yourself on a fixed rate, and they said to much people —— too many people are paying too much money. we don't switch, we don't move suppliers, but we are alljust seemingly happy to pay, so the government wanted them to clamp down. this would affect about 70 million people and would mean that firms would take a massive hit if

0fgem lamented how much they could charge. they have not done that. what they announced in their proposals this morning was to cap their charges for 2 million vulnerable customers, those at the host end of the income scale who find it hard to get involved, look online and switch suppliers. i was speaking to 0fgem and i put it to him that these proposals announced this morning will not really make a big difference. but the measures we've announced will make it easier for a wider set of people to switch, making it much easier for them to use price comparison websites, and in particular we are focusing on something new today, have been on the same deal for three years, we will use a digital deal checker which can be something of a game changer and they could potentially look at their supplies, be told whether it is a good or bad deal, and change very quickly. that was the boss of ofgem. in the lack of regulation of legislation to hold the companies to account is relying on us finding a better deal and moving. as always,

open to debate, so no deadlines, no specific targets yet, just proposals. we have been talking about this for a long time.” proposals. we have been talking about this for a long time. i feel you will talk about it again. keep asking about it. thank you. good prediction, louise. good morning to you if you havejust prediction, louise. good morning to you if you have just turned prediction, louise. good morning to you if you havejust turned on prediction, louise. good morning to you if you have just turned on your television this morning. more news for you from today... a three—year inquiry into widespread child abuse injersey‘s care system will publish its findings later today. more than 600 witnesses have given evidence about abuse in children's homes and in foster care between 1947 and 2004. 0ur correspondent robert hall is onjersey for us this morning. for the past two here's the story of jersey's abuse victims has finally been told. there are cries of anguish had been stifled, ignored or dismissed. but in today's mini secret police investigation brought the island's heading past to worldwide attention. —— island's

hidden past. with allegations that children had died at this home, police brought in specialist search dogs, recovering dozens of fragments of bone and children's teeth. none could be linked to a specific time frame but the allegations followed accou nts frame but the allegations followed a ccou nts of frame but the allegations followed accounts of abuse at homes throughout the islands. those here misused the power they had. complaints of abuse had come to light, real complaint, yet decisions we re light, real complaint, yet decisions were made not to deal with those complaints ina were made not to deal with those complaints in a way they ought to have been done. when the inquiry chair reveals their findings today, victims will be looking for one clear message. i want them to say thatjersey failed catastrophically in looking after the children under their care. and that the government

are going to promise that it is never going to happen again. president trump has been accused of inciting violence against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof video showing him assaulting a man with a cnn logo super—imposed on his head. in the wrestling video, he's shown punching the cnn character repeatedly. the president regularly accuses cnn and other media outlets of broadcasting what he calls, "fake news." it's been retweeted more than 250,000 times. it is certainly dividing opinions this morning. thank you for all your comments you sent in on that. we shall read some of those out a little later on. elsewhere today... a number of flights into gatwick airport were diverted last night — after reports of a drone flying close to the runway. easyjet said four of its flights had been diverted, while british airways

said one plane had been sent to bournemouth. 0ther flights had to circle the airport as a precaution. sussex police are investigating. you are right up to date with the news and we will talk about something different now. people with conditions such as dementia, heart failure and lung disease may be missing out on hospice care. that's according to research by the charity hospice uk. it says one in four people who need specialist, as well as end of life care, aren't getting the support they need. joining us now is stephen greenhalgh who's the boss of st catherine's hospice in lancashire, and catherine nelson, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder which is an incurable lung condition. thank you so much to both of you for coming in this morning. stephen, can you tell us bit about these findings, the key factors for you, that not enough people are accessing the available care? the key factors are quite simple. people need hospice care and they need it whenever and wherever they need it, and there is just not enough of it around. one in four people who need

hospice care can't get it. which means ina hospice care can't get it. which means in a year over 100,000 people. and when people are seriously ill they need hospice care because it can make all the difference. catherine, just talk to us about your particular expertise. you have known hospice care. what particular thing was that for? i have a condition, pc lpd, and it is a progressive disease that has got worse over the last couple of years of my consultant sent me to saint catherine's hospice on a ten week course one day a week for ten weeks, and at the time when i went i was in and at the time when i went i was in a very dark place, and they put me... they got me back. i cannot say how wonderful that was and it is sad, but i feel very privileged that i got on that course and that it is

not available to anybody else. what did you expect discourse to be about, and how was a different? how did it change your perception is?” didn't know what to expect. i couldn't really understand it, and when i got there... couldn't see because i didn't know, but it was wonderful. five hours, and i got educational talks from about... you know, the physios, therapists, occupational therapists, and you yourself are able to talk with other patients about the condition that they've got, so we've all got it. that was very helpful as well. that is just that was very helpful as well. that isjust one that was very helpful as well. that is just one type of care. stephen, doctor us about other tapes of care you can provide to people who can get it. —— stephen, can you tell us. yes, it is about people with different types of conditions. hospices actually look after most people in their own homes and people don't realise that either. the care

we provide is for the whole person and that is what makes a difference. we wa nt and that is what makes a difference. we want people to be able to live before they die. we want them to be able to live well before they die, and that is what hospices are all about. the real concern, i mean, if you think about the hospice movement, put it together, it is the biggest charity in the country, by a country mile, and at least three quarters of that comes from local people. it is a phenomenal story about the british spirit, but what we are saying is actually that support is still stretched. why then are we so unaware of the work that is being done and the service available? where has that followed through the gaps?” available? where has that followed through the gaps? i think if you thing about how important it is for us to do things at the beginning of your life, people embrace that and, but, you know things to do with the end of life is frightening and scary and people are bothered by that. sometimes people don't want to know,

but actually hospices are really exciting places. lots of people get involved. 0n exciting places. lots of people get involved. on saturday night we had looo involved. on saturday night we had 1000 walkers, i think you had a triathlon, but we have that at our place, and it was raining, and we had some of the girls from coronation street participating. mark lawrenson is one of our patrons, who gets involved and does great stuff. whilst it is a very serious area, it is also great fun for a lot of people to get involved in as well. 0ne one thing people talk about when talking about hospices is that, it's end of life care. people need educating, everybody, it isn't, it's ca re educating, everybody, it isn't, it's care of, you know, whatever stage you're at, the hospice can actually help you, you know. whether you are on the last weeks of your life or you're on the road at the beginning and you will take 12 months, two yea rs, to and you will take 12 months, two years, to get to the end of that road. but they're there to support you and the help that you get, they

make you believe in yourself again, you get your confidence back, you go and the difference now in me, you get your confidence back.” and the difference now in me, you get your confidence back. i read about a young lad raising money for his mum who was in a hospice, is that right? he's my hero! he was certainly my special guest when we had our 30th anniversary. very sadly when he was six years old, his mum was in st katherine's hospice, very poorly. we were told it was his birthday so we had a little party with him. amazingly, he came back two days later and gave an envelope to one of the nurses, she said what is this and he said open it and see. she opened it and there was a £20 note in it. i always find this very ha rd to note in it. i always find this very hard to say, but he said "i sold one of my birthday presents to help you look after my mum". a few years later he raised some more money for his tenth birthday and he's a

remarkable young manchester. what an amazing young man —— amazing young man. makes me feel very humble and privileged to be a part of what we do. thank you both very much.” privileged to be a part of what we do. thank you both very much. i wish i could tell you a lot more because there is so much more that people don't understand about hospices, their attitude and just allow yourself not to be frightened of them. they're there to help and they're wonderful. thank you. a very powerful message. thank you. ask for the high pressure. -- help. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning. the foreign secretary has become the latest member of the cabinet to put pressure on the chancellor to relax the public sector pay cap. figures out today show that for the first time in nearly a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the uk, thanjoining it. carol's at wimbledon for us this morning. we have been admiring, i was going

to say the view, but it's the queue. a field with a queue. a field with a beautifully british queue. so ordered. we know some of the people standing in that queue have been there since lunch time on saturday. sally was with them earlier on and didn't have a brolly at one stage. shall we find out what is happening, not just with wimbledon shall we find out what is happening, notjust with wimbledon but shall we find out what is happening, not just with wimbledon but the shall we find out what is happening, notjust with wimbledon but the rest of the uk. carol is inside the gates. good morning. good morning. the sun is beating down and it's lovely and warm. i'm in an area called rose arbor. that is where the lovely sue barker will be broadcasting from as we go through wimbledon fortnight. 50,000 pla nts through wimbledon fortnight. 50,000 plants and flowers supplied to wimbledon each year. these are the wimbledon each year. these are the wimbledon colours. they come from local and british national suppliers and growers. it's an area where you can rest, relax, soak up the

atmosphere, have a drink and something to eat during the course of the day. we had one or two showers. already, it's feeling warm now. maximum temperatures up to about 24 despite the 22 you can see on the charts. for most, it's going to bea on the charts. for most, it's going to be a fine, dry day with sunny spells. there are some showers around this morning. in the south, we have a weak weather front here. that is what produced the showers in wimbledon. it's sinking south. a few showers in kent too. a bit of cloud pushing north through the midlands, east anglia, into northern england, with a few exceptions where we are seeing sunshine already. for scotland, a drier day than it was yesterday. sunshine in the east, showers in the west. for northern ireland, you have got a fine day ahead of you with a fair bit of sunshine. later, the cloud will build from the west, heralding the arrival of some rain. for wales, we are looking at a cloudy start with

1-1 are looking at a cloudy start with 1—1 or two showers. into south—west england, we have some showery outbreaks which are pushing up towards the bristol and gloucester area. as we drift through dorset and hampshire, we are back into the cloud. like here at wimbledon, that cloud. like here at wimbledon, that cloud continuing to break up. through the day, that is the forecast. the cloud will break, we'll see sunny spells develop. in light breezes, it will feel pleasant for the time of year. we have a range of temperatures from around 16 to highs of 2 in london. in light breezes, feeling pleasant. we will still see one or two showers in the midlands and parts of east anglia, they'll be the exception rather than they'll be the exception rather than the rule though. however, the weather front across northern ireland will produce some rain as it crosses northern ireland this evening and overnight. some of the rain will be heavy and it will extend in across central and southern scotland and also northern england. temperature—wise, 11—15 in towns and cities, lower than that in the countryside. tomorrow, we start off with that

weather front across northern ireland, central and southern scotla nd ireland, central and southern scotland and northern england. it's drifting east so it will improve across northern ireland to sunshine and showers. north of that, we are looking at sunshine and showers, showers in northern scotland. south of it for england and wales, although there'll be more cloud around, we'll see sunny spells and highs of 24—25. into wednesdayth wednesday, we still have the weather front but it's weakening and producing some rain in the same area. sunny spells, temperatures where they should be at this time of year. for england and wales, temperatures rise, as indeed is the humidity. widely temperatures will be between 24, but the highest temperatures are likely to be in the south—east at around 28. dan and lou. admiring the nowers there too. thank you very much. it looks lovely. see

you very much. it looks lovely. see you later. the un refugee agency is trying to get european leaders to help italy deal with the growing numbers of people who have been arriving on its shores in recent weeks. so far this year, more than 2,000 people have died in perilous mediterranean crossings. 0ur correspondent rami ruhayem reports. no, no, no, leave it, leave it, leave it... rescuing migrants in the central mediterranean, a delicate task even in fairly calm waters. as the rubber boat deflates, people panic and the rescuers lose control. back up. come back up... one man on this boat drowned. they come from across africa and asia, many fleeing extreme poverty and war. the boats

leave from libya, a country descended into chaos and brutality. the fortunate ones can pay for wooden boats but they too are overcrowded and dangerous. we are on a rescue ship with a charity, doctors without borders. most are men but there are also women and children risking their lives. khalid is among a group of syrians, telling me he's fleeing war for the second time. 0thers tell us they are simply desperate for work. there are no
