in sport, tempers boil over as manchester united secure second place in the premier league. a scuffle in which paul pogba ends up with mark noble's fingers up his nose marrs the goaless draw at west ham which ensures united are runners up. it's eurovision weekend, with songs like this in the competition, we'll ask what are the chances for the uk. and matt has the weather. good morning. yes, i'll be among the yachts at the london and water festival at saint catherine dock in central london. but will the weekend forecast becalmed off their league choppy? i'll have all the details on that on what is today a fine day for many of you. more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. grammar schools in england will receive £50 million to create new places, the education secretary, damian hinds, has announced. he says the move will give

parents greater choice. union leaders have criticised the decision, saying the policy favours the privileged few. jon donnison reports. we know that grammar schools are hugely popular with parents. we know they are good for the pupils that attend them. theresa may has long been a fan of grammar schools. she went to one herself. but her government had to scrap controversial plans to create new ones after it lost its commons majority last year. now ministers have released the details of how they want to expand existing grammar schools. they'll be able to tap into a pot of £50 million first announced in 2016 to create more places. grammar schools are bidding for more muqqy grammar schools are bidding for more muggy will have to show how they'll increase admissions for disadvantaged children. the government says it will give parents more choice. the national association of head teachers called the policy elitist when school budgets were at breaking point.

please put your hands in your prayer position... the government has also ditched its promise to make it easierfor religious ditched its promise to make it easier for religious groups to open free schools. instead, funding will be made available for councils to open upa be made available for councils to open up a new be made available for councils to open up a new wave be made available for councils to open up a new wave of faith schools. jon donnison, bbc news. we'll be talking to the dducation secretary, damian hinds, shortly after 7:30am. let us know your thoughts on that. the mayor of london wants to ban adverts promoting junk food from the city's public transport network as part of efforts to tackle childhood obesity. 40% of 10 and 11—year—olds in the capital are overweight. ben ando reports. wherever all whenever you're travelling in london, fast food adverts seem to be a constant companion. ads for takeaways, soft drinks or sugary stacks adorn bus stops, train interiors and platforms. with nearly four in ten of london's ten or 11 —year—olds

overweight or obese, the mayor of london said it's time for action. sadiq khan wants to ban these ads on the entire transport for london network, making it the second city in europe after amsterdam to do so. nutrition is also a social divide with children in poorer boroughs like dagenham or barking nearly twice as likely to be overweight as those in more prosperous areas, like richmond. is it ok to blatantly marketjunk richmond. is it ok to blatantly market junk food to our children. the scheme is being backed by tv chefjamie the scheme is being backed by tv chef jamie oliver, who the scheme is being backed by tv chefjamie 0liver, who recently launched a bitter campaign with the hash tag #adenough calling for a ban. as well as banning advertising on london's buses, trains and tubes, the mayor also wants to stop fast food outlets opening within 400 metres of the school grades and has created a child obesity task force, which meets for the first time later this year. ben ando, bbc news,

central london. the inflation measure used to set interest rates on student loans is absurd according to a report by the commons treasury committee. former education secretary, nicky morgan, who chairs the committee, said the use of the retail price index for loan repayments, which normally gives a higher rate of inflation than the consumer price index, appears grossly unfair the aa says there have been more insurance claims so far in 2018 from drivers hitting potholes than in the whole of last year. it says the number of potholes is a national disgrace and the damage is costing £1 million a month to deal with. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz, a pothole down there. pothole! bouncy... mind the pothole! ooh! bouncy! another pothole. this one near a busyjunction in west sussex filmed by a driver last weekjust after he hit it. he says the hole had been there two weeks, putting traffic in danger and damaging his car.

i heard a big thud, but if you look at my tyre down here, it ripped the tyre. the steering's gone as well. so i'm having — when i drove back, i had to drive the car with the wheel at about 9:00, 10:00 to drive in a straight line, to the steering is completely out. the aa says there's been an astonishing increase in pothole insurance claims — 4,200 so far in 2018. that's nearly three times the number at the same stage last year, the average repair costing £1,000. it's almost a national embarrassment, actually, the state of main roads, residential streets and even motorways where potholes are appearing after the harsh winter that we've had, and the amount that insurers are beginning to pay out has really skyrocketed. the governments says it's provided enough money to repair 6 million potholes, but the aa says councils need more cash for the job. this one has now been fixed. the longer they're left, though, the more havoc they can cause. simon gompertz, bbc news. britain's armed forces need almost £21 billion to buy

equipment over the next 10 years. that's according to a report from mps. a public accounts committee investigation warns of a worrying black hole in the budget of the ministry of defence. the mod is also accused of not being clear with politicians or the public about the financial risks it faces. the sale of late billionaire david rockefeller‘s private estate has broken records after becoming the most valuable single—owner art collection ever sold at auction. more than 1,500 pieces were on offer during the three day event in new york. the finalfigures are still being tallied, but the auction has already smashed the previous record of more than £160 million attributed to yves saint laurent‘s collection. £65 million, give me £66 million. this is the biggest and most valuable estate ever sold. the rockefeller‘s

tawfik, bbc news, new york. he's known as the king by manchester united supporters and now the football legend eric cantona is dusting off his boots and getting ready to return to old trafford. cantona will be playing in the soccer aid charity football match injune alongside usain bolt, 0lly murs and gordon ramsay. the event, which takes place every two years, has raised £24 million since its launch in 2006. they would be formidable on the pitch, whoever is on eric cantona's team. he says it a special feeling to be going back, he said let's make history one more time —— it's a special. captained history one more time —— it's a special. ca ptained by history one more time —— it's a special. captained by usain bolt, what a team! what a goal that would be, usain bolt crossing for eric ca nto na to be, usain bolt crossing for eric cantona to not won in one final time. the tactic is to boot it up the field and get usain bolt to put it in --

the field and get usain bolt to put it in —— nod one in one final time. couldn't he have become a footballer? he could have but he didn't make it. the game yesterday wasn't much to talk about. the headlines, snout of 0rder, mark noble and paul pogba, a bit of a scuffle. i can't claim credit for that one! there was a rather sour end to a rather dour match at the london stadium last night. west ham's mark noble reacted angrily to a challenge from manchester united's paul pogba. no real hard feelings at full time, as you can see. the match ended 0—0, securing united second place in the premier league. they are smiling about it in the end. i'm sure he didn't mean to get the fingers up the nose! it looks like wayne rooney is moving to the states. he's agreed a deal in principle to sign for dc united, who play in america's major league soccer. no deal‘s been signed yet for the everton striker. kyle edmund's magnificent week

in madrid continues. after beating novak djokovic on wednesday, he's now knocked out the world number 10, david goffin, too. he's now guaranteed a place in the world's top 20 and will play denis shapovalov in the last eight tonight. lest you! sorry, just a frog in my throat! the world number one dustinjohnson is one of six players tied for the lead at the tournament dubbed the fifth major the players championship in florida. the american is six under par, whilejustin rose leads the charge for the brits on four under. and britain's simon yates has moved into the overall lead at the giro d'italia. he finished second to his team mate on stage six but that was enough to put him 16 seconds clear of the field. chris froome is more than a minute behind in eighth. more in the papers shortly. a good little golf stories. think golf,

irn—bru and trump. —— a good little golf story. i think health and safety have been busy with matt in his weather location because he's already wearing the lifejacket! this probably fills you with your excitement, charlie, me in a lifejacket, can only go wrong, maybe i will pull a bushel later. good morning, we are at saint catherine dock, london's only marina, and today and tomorrow it will be hosting the london 0n—water festival, the fourth year it has taken place and as you can see some spectacular yachts behind me, you can look at these later. there will be some of the world's biggest and best yacht and boat builders here as well. we can look at some of these yachts later on hopefully, if they let me on, but let's crack on with the weather. a cracking start, blue skies overhead for many parts of the uk but a chilly start, parts of eastern scotla nd but a chilly start, parts of eastern scotland with frost around. that

will clear and any mist and fog will quickly depart. much of scotland, england, wales through the morning, sunny spells but more cloud gathering from the west and this morning northern ireland will have outbreaks of rain developing and that will be on and off through the day. not just that will be on and off through the day. notjust rain but quite windy in many parts of the west as the rain gets heavy at times and edges its way by the end of the afternoon into the far west of scotland, parts of western wales, devon and cornwall. much of scotland, a good pa rt cornwall. much of scotland, a good part of england will stay dry through this afternoon, 18 in east anglia and the south—east, maybe 19 in some spots. where the rain is, the wind in northern ireland, only around ten or 11. into the evening and overnight, the rain pushes eastwards a cross and overnight, the rain pushes eastwards across many parts. if you're in southern counties, you might need to water the pot plants because it will be a case of sporadic rain, most places will stay dry and the same in eastern areas. keeping temperatures up for the most

pa rt keeping temperatures up for the most part but as skies clear in the west a cool start to tomorrow and the weekend. for tomorrow there will be heavy rain in northern scotland, that will be confined to 0rkney and shetland, sunshine in the morning and cloud increasing in the afternoon in england and wales and maybe some thunderstorms in the south—west and we could see rain in eastern counties before the day is out. that rain spreads up eastern coasts and counties of england and also scotland. uncertain how far west that will get, but across many western areas because of sunshine, a few showers, and starting with the rain in the east on sunday it will clear, temperatures like today and saturday, around 13 and 17. by monday that area of cloud and rain fizzles out in situ, a cloudy start to next week in eastern parts but in the west it should be dry and bright. with lighter winds, when the sun is out, as it will be at times this weekend, it should feel fairly pleasant. that's your forecast for today and the weekend. more through

the morning and hopefully we'll take a look at some of these stunning yachts. back to you both. to pull a mike bushell! i like that phrase and even mike would be concerned about how close you are to the edge. be careful, see you later. will do. an interesting take on the front page of the dalit —— the telegraph. £50 million tory handout. comprehensives suffer cuts. we will be looking more at this morning. if you have more ports on the grammar schools and what they make of them, let us know. 0na

what they make of them, let us know. on a couple of front pages as well, pictures of barbara windsor. many talking about the announcement that she has old—timers. tragic, really. very sad he says, my babs forgets we are married. a couple of people living with alzheimer's will talk to us. living with alzheimer's will talk to us. this is in quite a few of the papers this morning. this is the estranged wife of harvey weinstein. talking about how he feels —— how she feels, she lost £10 in five days as she struggled to compound the claims against her husband. donald trump is going to mean kimjong—un.

after the three american citizens we re after the three american citizens were released by north korea yesterday. it would have been the front of all the papers if mark carney made a different decision, bank of england makes light of weak first quarter, keeps rates on hold. there was some chat a couple of months ago. this is a 7- to vote, so quite a firm decision. a lot of numbers in the last couple of weeks, retail sales not going great. carney seeks new nickname by putting families first. he was given the nickname, unreliable boyfriend because he was constantly giving expectations. same one thing was going to happen and something never materialises. a few months ago, mark

carney was given no sense. he says families don't care if it's a rate rise in may or august. they will be focusing on the concept. it's not bad to business news. only a limited numberof bad to business news. only a limited number of nicknames. i'm back in the england fold is danny cipriani. he is in brilliant form. even before he is in brilliant form. even before he is back in the team, eddie jones is saying, it is a bad boy, a stark warning. island post their first test match tomorrow, fantastic. we are talking tojohn test match tomorrow, fantastic. we are talking to john watson and his final commentary on the bbc including his favourite animals, a hamster, or pets, is not so keen on

pet elephants. wild elephants are his favourite animal. he talks about his favourite animal. he talks about his sheepskinjacket. his favourite animal. he talks about his sheepskin jacket. matches wearing one of those today. favourite city, vienna. maybe he has been there. we will be chatting to him later on and he has fantastic anecdotes about characters in football so we will try and indulge. two orange but trump? 0ne football so we will try and indulge. two orange but trump? one of donald trump's golf courses, there is a lwa ys trump's golf courses, there is always this thing about golf courses being stuffy. this golf course is banned irn—bru because it is worried about the carpets. it's had a £200 million refurbishment. the general manager has said it would cost too

much tojust replace manager has said it would cost too much to just replace the ballroom carpet so they can't have it there because they can't afford to get the stains out of the carpet. it sounds like a very light carpet. steel or later. by by ensuring businesses are taking china by storm. the bicycle hire schemes are now increasingly common in cities across the uk, including london, manchester and newcastle. it could be mistaken for a field of flowers. but look closer. this is a crop not of plants, but of metal and rubber. thousands upon thousands of bikes, impounded in the city of wuhan. bike—sharing has taken china by storm. unlocked with a wave of a phone,

they can be hired, or off—hired, anywhere. but the innovative technology has brought with it a frenzy of speculation. chinese cities have been deluged with bikes, millions of them. backed with huge investment, dozens of companies have been fighting for market share, resulting in blocked pavements... and a random sprinkling of abandoned bikes almost everywhere you look. in some cities, the authorities have had enough. the extraordinary thing is that many of these bikes are brand—new, hardly used at all. forget stock market bubbles and property bubbles, forget the dotcom bubble. this is one with wheels on. this is china's bike—sharing bubble. photos of other bike mountains have been popping up online.

here's one in the city of xiamen. and this is shanghai. yes, those really are bikes down there. but the reality is china faces a far bigger transport challenge — traffic congestion, chronic pollution and a growing health crisis. and it's notjust bikes that block pavements. the bike companies now plan to use the huge amounts of data they collect to monitor rider behaviour and penalise bad parking, and they insist chinese cities still need them. the cities are definitely supporting us. there needs to be a framework to regulate the growth of the industry, but from a general point of view, taking a step back, cities want this kind of commuting method, because it reduces pollution, reduces congestion, it puts people back on their bicycles. but it's also our responsibility, as the leader in the industry, to provide this in a thoughtful

and responsible approach. as the chinese bike—sharing schemes arrive in more cities around the world, lessons, they say, will have been learned. would you like to take a wild guess as to what we are going to welcome to platts street were the locals are all getting very excited. mrs sharon, who is responsible for the street party comms. i've been doing some of the communication, i boarded some of the doing some of the communication, i

you're holding a similar street party, send us your pictures. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. analysis of met data by the bbc shows eighty five per cent of moped crime in the capital happens in north london. hot spots are often along roads where thieves can make a fast get away, with camden and islington the worst boroughs. police say they have not lost control of the crime, despite an almost 30—fold increase in offences since 2012. despite the rise, we are absolutely

committed to tackling mode that offending across london and since january with employed a number of new tactics which are starting to see dividends in terms of a real reduction in crime. and if you want to know how bad moped crime is in your area — there's a tool available now on the bbc website. detectives say a significant suspect in the ongoing investigation into the double murder of a father and daughter is dead. noel and marie brown were killed in december last year. the suspect, who has been linked by forensic evidence, has been named as 37 year old nathaniel henry. he was reported missing in december but later found dead on new year's eve. enquiries into the browns‘ murders continue. junk food advertising could be banned from the entire london transport network under proposals announced today by the mayor sadiq khan. it's part of a campaign to tackle child obesity in the capital. adverts for food and drink that are high in fat, salt or sugar could go across the underground, 0verground and the capital's buses and bus shelters. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line.

otherwise a good service. 0n the railway there are cancellations on hull trains between kings cross and hull — due to trains needing repairs. 0n the roads — we can look at the camera now. traffic is building on the a13 westbound heading in from dagenham to barking in paddington — we have roadworks and temporary traffic lights ‘orfive ‘ or five celsius this morning. four or five celsius this morning. plenty of sunshine through the morning, that's when the best in the sunshine will be because the clouds amounts will increase. the cloud will thicken from the west, a fairly

wea k will thicken from the west, a fairly weak weather front later on e; rather there will looking rather tricky. there will probably be some rain in thickening cloud on saturday afternoon, that green could last into sunday morning but will clear away to leave us are mostly dry day with sunny spells, sunday probably the better looking day of the two.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you the headlines in a moment, but still to come this morning: the historic meeting between president trump and north korea's kimjong—un has been confirmed for next month in singapore, we'll be looking at whether it can really bring peace to the korean penninsula. alzheimer's charities have been overwhlemed by the reaction to yesterday's announcement that dame barabara windsor has been diagnosed with the disease, they'll tell us why. suddenly here's the new team sheet, this came up ten minutes ago, my colleague ray stubbs went to ask her leg of all people what the news was. —— to ask pele. and he's arguably football's most recognisable voice, on sunday, john motson will put the microphone down for good after 50 years of commentary.

we'll speak to him just after 8:30am. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. grammar schools in england will receive £50 million to create new places. the education secretary, damian hinds, says the move will give parents greater choice. unions say it serves only the priviledged few. the government has also scrapped its plan to relax admission rules for new faith schools in england. advertisements promoting junk food could be banned from london's public transport network, as part of efforts to tackle childhood obesity. the city's mayor, sadiq khan, says removing adverts for food and drink that are high in sugar, salt and fat would go someway to dealing with what he called a timebomb of obesity. 40% of london's 10 and 11—year—olds are overweight. the effectiveness of the 1991 dangerous dogs act will be investigated by mps after new figures suggest there has been an increase in attacks. hospital admissions for dog attacks rose by 76% in a decade, according to the environment, food and rural affairs committee. it will examine whether the public is being properly protected and look at animal welfare concerns.

the rspca says the law is ineffective and unjust and needs replacing. the estranged wife of disgraced film producer harvey weinstein has given her first interview since he was accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women in hollywood. speaking to american vogue, georgina chapman said she was never suspicious about his behaviour but admitted that she has been very naive. her fashion brand, marchesa, has been tainted by its association with weinstein. the aa says there have been more insurance claims so far in 2018 from drivers hitting potholes than in the whole of last year. it says the number of potholes is a national disgrace and the damage is costing £1 million a month to deal with. the department for transport says it's provided enough money to repair six million potholes. it's a shocking reminder of the

state britain's rides have coming to. it's almost a national embarrassment, actually, the state of main roads, residential streets and even motorways where potholes are appearing after the harsh winter that we've had, and the amount that insurers are beginning to pay out has really skyrocketed. so much going on with sport. we spoke aboutjohn watson, he will speak to us later, we're looking forward to that, a real character, he's had loads of great experiences. amazing interviews, especially the one with brian clough, we will see that later, gets a bit of a ticking off, we will see that later. this isn't what he wants to see a head of this final weekend commentating on the game. was it a long period of time he shoved this fingers up this nose or did hejust catch this nose? a coming together,

mark noble was angry about a challenge from paul pogba, as they came together... you don't deliberately try to do that. that is bad enough but that would really be bad! it can happen, can't it! both players were booked but no hard feelings at the end. 0r players were booked but no hard feelings at the end. or a nicolet before the game macro united said something was smelling wrong at manchester united —— ironically enough before the game manchester united said. they had no idea what was to come! manchester united manager now knows his side will finish second in the premier league after a goalless draw with west ham at the london stadium last night. but mark noble was lucky not to get sent off for this spat with paul pogba with his fingers ending up paul pogba's nose, but then a few minutes later at the final whistle the two of them were best friends. second then for united, but bossjose mourinho doesn't seem particularly thrilled by the achievement. i think we are the second—best team in the premier league. a fantastic competition with lots of good teams. i believe six teams trying to finish first and almost compulsory to finish top four.

and we managed to finish second. how about this for a strike to kick it off? the football league play—offs. this isjon nolan giving shrewsbury a 1—0 lead in the first leg of their league one play off semi—final against charlton at the valley. it's the first of the championship play—offs tonight, as derby host fulham. european league will dominate football in the future with the premier league relegated to midweek fixtures, that's according to the out—going arsenal manager arsene wenger. he was speaking at his last press conference before he steps down after 22 years, as the gunners boss. the next revolution? maybe i would see ina the next revolution? maybe i would see in a few years, and you have certainly a european league over the weekends. the domesticly will

certainly play tuesday and wednesday. so i think that's the next step that we will see. lots in the papers about this story. wayne rooney could be heading to america. he's agreed a deal in principle to sign for dc united, who play in major league soccer. rooney left manchester united to sign for his boyhood club everton last summer, but his representatives have been over to washington for talks. a deal is yet to be signed, though. what a week it has been for kyle edmund! he beat novak djokovic. the rise and rise after we did that peace with him last weekend. did that spurred him on? it didn't curse him, that's what i'm worried about cash spur. —— spur. he beat novak djokovic on wednesday and kyle edmund has followed that with a straight—sets win over world number 10 david goffin at the madrid 0pen. he's guaranteed a place in the world's top 20 after his recent run on clay and is into his first masters quarter—final.

the british number 0ne will play denis shapovalov in the last eight tonight. i'm in a good place and it was good to beat novak and it gives you confidence but winning big matches, it is nice to back it up. it is good you can play consistently well at big tournaments. meanwhile, the world number one rafael nadal won his 50th set in a row on clay as he beat the argentinian diego schwartzman. that broke john mcenroe's 34—year—old record for successive set wins on the same surface. the england head coach eddiejones has warned danny cipriani that he'll be sent home if he misbehaves on the tour to south africa. cipriani has been called into the england squad for the first time in three years and has had well documented problems with discipline in the past. jones says that if cipriani is trouble then there is a plane coming back from johannesburg as well. as they play their first ever test match against pakistan at malahide. it puts a bad tinge, doesn't it? he has a lot of baggage from incidents in the past. he's been playing well from wasps, he's 30 years old.

couldn't you just stop this coming out to the media? do it in private? he will be asked about it, why have you brought him back despite his problems. eddie jones has his own way of dealing with things, other managers may treat it differently. he does answer things in his own way. he's upfront, in an australian way, which i admire. in contrast to naga. i don't want any trouble with eddiejones. naga. i don't want any trouble with eddie jones. i tend to thing he's done the right thing in my humble opinion. ireland's cricketers will make history this morning as they play their first ever test match against pakistan at malahide. ireland become the 11th nation to play the longest form of the game after being granted test status last year, although they face a tough task against the touring pakistanis. a briton is the new leader of the giro d'italia but it's not chris froome. simon yates made his move to take the leader's pinkjersey a mile from the finish of the sixth stage on mount etna. he leads by 16 seconds.

froome is more than a minute behind him in eighth. golf's so called fifth major, the players championship, is underway at tpc sawgrass in florida and the world number one dustinjohnson is among six players leading the pack on six under par. england'sjustin rose isjust two behind on four under. plenty more to come, including some surprises later. thanks, mike, see you later. six months ago donald trump was tweeting little rocket man when it came to kimjong—un, tweeting little rocket man when it came to kim jong—un, now tweeting little rocket man when it came to kimjong—un, now in a remarkable turn of diplomacy, they will meet on the 12th ofjune in singapore. donald trump says it's a special moment for world peace but is that achievable? adam cathcart is from leeds university and is the author of change and continuity in north korean politics. good morning. adam, it might help

people, turn the clock back a week, who would have thought we would be where we are now? extraordinary things have happened, notwithstanding the question marks that remain. certainly, and donald trump mrdo have that remain. certainly, and donald trump mr do have a new approach to north korea in the campaign, he talked about having a burger with kim jong—un at some point but the fa ct kim jong—un at some point but the fact this is turning into reality and they will be meeting after the threats and the tensions of the fall of the past year it's remarkable. and the fact koreans are talking about unification and have had a summit has prepared the way for this. one of the hallmarks of the way donald trump works is the speed at which things happen, we think it's a month, when previously months and months might have been done preparing. the state department has spent a long time co—ordinating with partners in the region, south korea, japan and even china, which has put the clamps down on north korea to help bring them to the table. donald

trump has been talking to xi jingping, the leader of china, to make sure there is co—ordination there so inspired all the fireworks, there so inspired all the fireworks, there seems to be some kind of co—ordination strategy and shared goals, while keeping the pressure on north korea in terms of sanctions and making sure they are pushed towards a nuclear deterrent, nuclear capability, and one that won't be permanent. least that's the goal. there was talk it could happen in south korea but it's now in singapore, what's the significance of it being their? for the north koreans it is a friendly and somewhat neutral site, they have an embassy in singapore. it's not as bad as the relationship with nearby malaysia where there was the incident about a year ago where the north korean leader's half brother was killed in the airport, so they will avoid that site and the optics of the dmz. the demilitarised zone? yes, absolutely. south korea is very close by and trump is not able to shake his best. it is a fraught site

in the dmz so it is neutral territory. if you want to get into the optics of kim jong—un as a potential reformer, opening up the economy, singapore is a model of sorts, where the energy around kim jong—un as an energy of change and agent of change can gather. your book, changing continuity in korean politics, this is a real change from the norm when it comes to kim jong—unin the norm when it comes to kim jong—un in terms of his presentation to the outside world and north korea's place in the world?|j to the outside world and north korea's place in the world? i think so, and his wife being involved in the diplomacy, his younger sister, who is just over 30, the diplomacy, his younger sister, who isjust over 30, who has a foreign education and is more wired and linked up with the rest of the world it seems. a change of pace for them. at the same time you have 75% of north korean is food insecure and one infour of north korean is food insecure and one in four children are stunted underfive one in four children are stunted under five because of inadequate aid and food. it remains a really tough place, the economy is still

battered. on that note, is there a danger, as people possibly celebrate this meeting, and a moment in time many people wouldn't have thought would happen at all, that we forget a bit about the things that he and his father did to their own people? that somehow that gets put to one side, possibly for the greater good in terms of the nuclear debate? absolutely and the focus on nuclear weapons being part of the package, where there are human rights issues that need to be addressed, there was discussion of them possibly going to the international criminal court in 2014, the un put in a lot of energy research in this question, and on a girded structure of the korean war itself, begun by the north koreans in1950, itself, begun by the north koreans in 1950, families broken apart, a tragedy, manifold and multiplied generation after generation. there's a lot of work that needs to be done. do we need to remember everything the north korean regime has done to its people or is it possible to turn

the page and say all right, a limited amnesty all we are willing to look beyond all the flaws for the greater good so there can be more openness and connection of the north korean people to the outside world if the north korean leadership is willing? that's the way the uk has been pushing, limited engagement along with lots of pressure and expectations on these other fronts. we will see what happens over the next weeks and months. adam, thank you. time to take a little dip, or a look at the water. mattjoins us from st katharine docks with the weather this morning. i have been looking around and i think i have found it. i want this one. this is one of the stunning yorkshire at the london and water festival is an katharine dock, as you mentioned. it cost a fair penny.

everything up to 30 metres super yachts here worth millions of pounds. part of the festival taking place today and tomorrow but organisers keen to point out it's not just for the superrich, organisers keen to point out it's notjust for the superrich, is there anyone who enjoys getting on the water. i think i've found my favourite one. a little bit of saving up, to be honest. the weather here this morning is cracking, to begin with. some sunshine around. 0ne begin with. some sunshine around. one of two showers elsewhere. this morning, we start with sunshine. a bit of a frosty start in parts of eastern scotland. bit of fogg. much of scotla nd eastern scotland. bit of fogg. much of scotland and england and wales, lovely sunny starts to your friday. rain developing through this morning. the odd heavy burst as well. a breezy day across the board. gale force winds as the rain edges across northern ireland in parts of

scotla nd across northern ireland in parts of scotland and the far west of wales. even increasing amounts of cloud, around ten or 11 in northern ireland. we see the rain push its way northwards and eastwards. elsewhere, further north, few heavy bursts around. tomorrow morning, sunny start towards many eastern areas. heavy at times. england and wales, after a sunny morning, towards the far south—west. developing in easternmost counties. how far close, how far west, how far east it is. eastern scotland could bea east it is. eastern scotland could be a wet start. what are too heavy

and boundary showers. it may stay wet in north—east scotland for much of the day. the rain fizzles out as we go into the start of next week. cloud across the northern and eastern parts but that should break up, one eastern parts but that should break up, one or eastern parts but that should break up, one ortwo eastern parts but that should break up, one or two showers possible in a fairly wet week as —— and with the sun out, it could be fairly pleasant with a ridge of high showers as well. rain pushing in towards the west. staring longingly through here. it will only take a few centuries if you save up, you will be fine. big focus on the challenges of renting across bbc tv and radio today. this morning, sean's looking at the nightmare faced by disabled people when they want to rent a house. we will look at people with

disabilities soon. this is research from the equality and human rights commission — the watchdog across england, scotland, and wales responsible for making sure people aren't discriminated against. it's found that just 7 per cent of all the homes for rent in the uk are suitable for disabled people. 0ur reporter, ellis palmer went to derby to try and find a house. i went to see seven letting agents in the city's cathedral quarter and told them all i was looking for a p0p " told them all i was looking for a pop —— fora told them all i was looking for a pop —— for a property with a special bathroom. not one had a single place to meet a view. in derby today, i have left felt in disappointed but not surprised as i face the situation in various uk cities

before. unless there is a broader social shift in cultural change as well as a legal change, this situation isn't going to get any better for young renters like situation isn't going to get any betterfor young renters like me. ellis palmer, from bbc world there. i'm joined now by susanjohnson from the equality and human rights commission. you are on the board and you have quite big powers. your report today, is that example typical? u nfortu nately is that example typical? unfortunately it is. some of the stories we have included a quite heart—wrenching. people unable to find suitable rented accommodation both in the private and public sector. feeling trapped properties they are in. that is not adaptable, they are in. that is not adaptable, they are in. that is not adaptable, they are not accessible. accessing gra nts they are not accessible. accessing grants for upgrading rental properties to accessible properties arejust properties to accessible properties are just few and far between, they are just few and far between, they are hard to come by. disability can mean different things to different

people. is there something specific you are looking at with the rental market? the report focuses on a whole range of facilities. hammond, mobility issues, wheelchair users as your report has highlighted. u nfortu nately your report has highlighted. unfortunately in the private rented sector, only one in three tenants are living in unsuitable private rental accommodation. 0ne are living in unsuitable private rental accommodation. one in five in the public sector are living in unsuitable accommodation. in the private rented sector, the difficulty for most private landlords who have buy to let mortgages, for example, is that their buy to let mortgage only allows them to have a 12 month tenancy. if the tenant wants to get a grant to upgrade the property, they have to have 3— 25— tenancy.

a grant to upgrade the property, they have to have 3— 25— tenancym it more of an issue for tenancy or the landlords? there are whole issues around the contradictions in the rules and regulations. we know there is a huge demand for accessible and adaptable housing. we don't have a national strategy for provisional and adaptable housing. how has it got to the point where you have allowed this to get to more than 90% of rental properties? you have allowed this to get to more than 9096 of rental properties? this has been decades in the making. there hasn't been a requirement to build suitable homes for disabled people. we are calling on the government involved in the report to ensure that going forward, not are

they only building more and affordable homes that they are building the right kind of homes. that's why this is a hidden crisis. susanjohnson that's why this is a hidden crisis. susan johnson from the equalities and human rights commission. the government says the government said: "we realise many disabled people can face a variety of obstacles in their daily lives, but we're clear that their homes should not be one of these." it added it is providing councils with almost a billion pounds to adapt properties for disabled people and planning rules say councils should consider their needs when planning housing development. if any of this sounds familiar to you, we are talking about it all through the morning. send us a message on social media or e—mail. in the last 2 years, the united kingdom has come 24th and 15th at eurovision out of 26 countries who compete on the night. tomorrow's competition is in lisbon and cyprus, israel and france are favourites.

surie will sing for the uk after being chosen in february. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito is out in portugal and went to meet her. eurovision has arrived in lisbon. now with a smile please. the city is awash with good cheer and euro passion. and the lucky few even got an invitation to the ambassador's party. the dress code, casual and fabulous. g and t is even had a touch dry ice. and the star guest, surie, of course, the uk's eurovision hopeful. do you remember when we were kids with no fear? and this isn't her first eurovision. he/she is back in 2015 as a backing singer. so when you step out on

stage, what is the feeling? it's an incredible feeling because the electricity that is charged from the crowd, the eurovision crowd in that arena is like no other audience i have experienced. go, surie! and she has with an army of supporters. have experienced. go, surie! and she has with an army of supporterslj was in germany last night, the first timei was in germany last night, the first time i saw it. i stood there and i was absolutely, i had to take my glasses off, i was streaming with cheap tears. our super vans were full of passion but not much hope. does britain stand a chance? no. i believe a bit of a chance. i believe we are going to come 17th. i am saying 17, yes. once upon a time, britain was a eurovision superpower. the last 20 years, not so much. what do you think the uk's attitude

overall is to eurovision?” do you think the uk's attitude overall is to eurovision? i think it is taboo, it is still a taboo. it's a huge show on saturday night. everyone tunes in that no one wants to talk about it. it was time to talk to doctor eurovision. yes, paul has a ph.d. in... eurovision. there was a problem perception. in terms of the music. people think the music is rubbish. there is some good music and good talent but we don't see the same way. it doesn't necessarily need the contest. don't give up, no, no. and her odds this year? 200 to one. but remember, there was always hope. have you thought that if you win? i'll probablyjust

spontaneously combust into glitter and feathers, because that's eurovision. he never really know what's going to happen. if we knew, life would be helpful. words of non— wisdom this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. analysis of met data by the bbc shows 85% of moped crime in the capital happens in north london. hot spots are often along roads where thieves can make a fast get away with camden and islington the worst boroughs. police say they have not lost control of the crime, despite an almost 30—fold increase in offences since 2012. despite the rise, we are absolutely committed to tackling moped offending across london and in fact, since january we've employed a number of new tactics that

are starting to see dividends in terms of a real reduction in crime. and if you want to know how bad moped crime is in your area — there's a tool available now on the bbc website. detectives say a significant suspect in the double murder of a father and daughter in deptford is dead. noel and marie brown were killed in december last year. the suspect, nathaniel henry, who has been linked by forensic evidence was reported missing in december but laterfound dead on new year's eve. enquiries into the murders continue. junk food advertising could be banned from the entire london transport network under proposals announced by the mayor. it's part of a campaign to tackle childhood obesity in the capital. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line. otherwise a good service. 0n the railway there are cancellations on hull trains between kings cross and hull — due to trains needing repairs. 0n the roads — we can

look at the camera now. traffic is building on the a13 westbound heading in from dagenham to barking and in walthamstow — vestry road is part closed westbound due to roadway collapse. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's another dry and a fine day across the capital. temperatures around about the average for this time of year still so not desperately warm but they will tend to be a bit a little bit higher than they were yesterday. we're getting off to a rather chilly start. some places down as low as four or five celsius this morning. plenty of sunshine through the morning, that's when the best of the sunshine will be because the cloud will increase in the afternoon. the cloud will thicken from the west, that's a fairly weak weather front later on this evening. top temperatures between 16—bit may

be as high as 19 celsius and a southerly breeze will pick up as we head towards the end of the day, so we are likely to see a few outbreaks of light patchy rain and drizzle as we head through this evening, thickening cloud and then that will clear away to leave us with clear skies into tomorrow morning so a sunny start to the day and still relatively mild temperatures in double figures in many the towns. but the sunshine won't last tomorrow. the weekend is looking rather tricky. there will probably be some rain in thickening cloud on saturday afternoon, that rain could last into sunday morning but will clear away to leave us are mostly dry day with sunny spells, sunday probably the better looking day of the two. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a £50 million fund for grammar schools to expand. the money for existing schools is aimed at helping disadvantaged pupils. critics say it's the wrong policy when education budgets are at breaking point. good morning, it's

friday the 11th of may. also this morning: a ban on junk food advertising on london's transport network is announced by the city's mayor in a bid to tackle child obesity. there are more insurance claims over potholes so far this year than in the whole of 2017. the aa says it costs £1 million a month to repair vehicles. good morning. how's the crazy world of renting for you? we've found that if you're in your 40s you're twice as likely to be a renter than you were ten years ago. i'll be taking a look at what's driving that. in sport, tempers boil over as manchester united secure second place in the premier league. a scuffle in which paul pogba ends up with mark noble's fingers up his nose marrs the goaless draw at west ham that ensures united are runners up. bunting at the ready.

(pres1) good morning. good morning. first, our main story. grammar schools in england will receive £50 million to create new places. the education secretary damian hinds says the move will give parents greater choice. union leaders have criticised the decision, saying the policy favours the privileged few. jon donnison reports. we know that grammar schools are hugely popular with parents. we know they are good for the pupils that attend them. theresa may has long been a fan of grammar schools.

she went to one herself. but her government had to scrap controversial plans to create new ones after it lost its commons majority last year. now ministers have released the details of how they want to expand existing grammar schools. they'll be able to tap into a pot of £50 million first announced in 2016 to create more places. grammar schools are bidding for more money will have to show how they'll increase admissions for disadvantaged children. the government says it will give parents more choice. the national association of head teachers called the policy elitist when school budgets were at breaking point. please put your hands in your prayer position... the government has also ditched its promise to make it easier for religious groups to open free schools. instead, funding will be made available for councils to open up a new wave of faith schools. jon donnison, bbc news. we'll be talking to the education secretary damian hinds shortly after 7:30am.

advertisements promoting junk food could be banned from london's public transport network, as part of efforts to if you have thoughts on grammar schools, your experiences in the teaching profession, maybe you're about to send your kids to school this morning, let us know in the usual ways. advertisements promoting junk food could be banned from london's public transport network, as part of efforts to tackle childhood obesity. the city's mayor, sadiq khan, says removing adverts for food and drink that are high in sugar, salt and fat would go someway to dealing with what he called a timebomb of obesity. 40% of london's 10 and 11—year—olds are overweight. and we'll be speaking to sadiq khan in about five minutes. there have been more insurance claims in 2018 from drivers hitting potholes than in the whole of last year. the aa says the state of the roads is a national disgrace and the damage is costing drivers £1 million a month. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. a pothole down there. pothole! bouncy... mind the pothole! ooh! bouncy! another pothole. this one near a busyjunction in west sussex filmed by a driver last weekjust after he hit it.

he says the hole had been there two weeks, putting traffic in danger and damaging his car. i heard a big thud, but if you look at my tyre down here, it ripped the tyre. the steering's gone as well. so i'm having... when i drove back, i had to drive the car with the wheel at about 9am, 10 o'clcok to drive in a straight line, so the steering's completely out. the aa says there's been an astonishing increase in pothole insurance claims. 4,200 so far in 2018. that's nearly three times the number at the same stage last year, the average repair costing £1,000. it's almost a national embarrassment, actually, the state of main roads, residential streets and even motorways where potholes are appearing after the harsh winter that we've had, and the amount that insurers are beginning to pay out has really skyrocketed. the governments says it's provided enough money to repair 6 million

potholes, but the aa says councils need more cash for the job. this one has now been fixed. the longer they're left, though, the more havoc they can cause. simon gompertz, bbc news. there's been a large explosion in the kilauea volcano that's erupting in hawaii. geologists say the explosion at the summit could send rocks and boulders flying into the air, and have also warned about an increase of toxic gases, which could be fatal if inhaled. thousands more residents have been told they could soon be evacuated. the estranged wife of disgraced film producer harvey weinstein has given her first interview since he was accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women in hollywood. speaking to american vogue, georgina chapman said she was never suspicious about his behaviour but admitted that she has been very naive. her fashion brand, marchesa, has been tainted by its association with weinstein. the effectiveness of the 1991

dangerous dogs act will be investigated by mps to see if the public is being properly protected after latest figures show hospital admissions for dog attacks rose by 76% over the past decade according to the environment food and rural players committee. the rspca said the law is ineffective and unjust and needs replacing. the sale of late billionaire david rockefeller‘s private estate has broken records after becoming the most valuable single—owner art collection ever sold at auction. more than 1,500 pieces were on offer during the three day event in new york. the finalfigures are still being tallied, but the auction has already smashed the previous record of more than 160 million pounds attributed to yves saint laurent‘s collection. nada tawfik reports from new york. £65 million, give me £66 million... this is the biggest and most valuable personal estate ever sold.

here it is at £102 million... the rockefeller‘s precious heirlooms and masterpieces went for record prices over a marathon days at christie's auction house. the bidding was intense and aggressive. offers jumped quickly by the millions and the final tally stunned. £68 million. this, the greatest matisse to come to market in 50 years, sold for over £59 million. and this monet the impressionist‘s water lilies series brought in more than £62 million. through their fame and fortune, david and peggy rockefellerjr amassed one of the greatest art and collections and filled their family homes with rare treasures. david rockefellerjnr arranged the auction after his father passed away last year. in an effort to continue his family's legacy of giving, he says the proceeds will go to charity. this high—profile sale attracted the biggest collectors and newcomers. it showed the continued strength of the art market but also the enduring power of the rockefeller name. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. he's known as the king

by manchester united supporters, and now the football legend eric cantona is dusting off his boots and getting ready to return to old trafford. cantona will be playing in the soccer aid charity football match injune alongside usain bolt, 0lly murs and gordon ramsay. the event, which takes place every two years, has raised £24 million since its launch in 2006. i thought usain bolt would be formidable! all the sport and the weather coming up all the sport and the weather coming upfor all the sport and the weather coming up for you all the sport and the weather coming upforyou a all the sport and the weather coming up for you a little later on. back to one of our top stories now, london has one of the highest levels of childhood obesity in europe. around 40% of 10 or 11—year—olds are overweight. could banning junk food adverts on the transport system be the key to tackling it? london's mayor, sadiq khan, thinks so. he joins us now from westminster. thanks very much for talking to us

on breakfast of this glorious morning. what is going to change, what are you proposing? there's a human health crisis in london, actually across our country. four out of ten year 6 children, jordan aged ten or 11, are either overweight or obese and we also now know children in deprived parts of london are more likely to be overweight or obese than those involved the parts of london, in dagenham or barking you are twice as likely to be overweight or obese than a child in richmond. there is evidence advertising works, that's why companies advertise on the public transport network, and families and children are influenced and pressurised by these adverts. so our plans are to ban the advertising of any unhealthy foods, foods high in fats, sugar of any unhealthy foods, foods high infats, sugarand

of any unhealthy foods, foods high in fats, sugar and salt on the public transport network, on the chew, shelters, bus stations and trams and london 0verground and we hope as part of a package of measures, this will improve the health of children —— chew. measures, this will improve the health of children -- chew. what won't we see? for example, can a burger chain advertise its salads or can sports drinks advertise their products? the reason i ask is the cost they are often seen as high in sugar, what are you clamping down specifically on other than the obvious? the food standards agency have a definition of what our foods high in fat, sugar and salt and what aren't, they are based on nutrient components. for example, ifa burger chain were to advertise healthy foods on the public transport network, i suspect that would be allowed, but if they advertised unhealthy foods, that wouldn't. to give you an idea, tfl, the public

transport network, is the most profitable advertising network of any public transport system in the world. it's effective and that's why companies advertise advertise on it and it's important we help families whose children are pressuring them to have unhealthy food all the time. have you spoken to any of the fast food outlets or food manufacturers, sweet and confectionery manufacturers, have they given you any indication of whether they would withdraw adverts or change the way they advertise? we speak to our clients if you like, all the time. roughly speaking, we bring in £20 million of revenue from the food and drink industry, not all of them advertise unhealthy food, that's the choice they have, if they want to advertise on tfl's network they have to advertise healthy foods and they -- if to advertise healthy foods and they —— if they don't want to do that they can go elsewhere. we really think this will have an impact on

the choices children and families make. the advertising and food industry said the uk has some of the strictest advertising rules in the world. you basically saying our advertising rules aren't good enough? what they're referring to is around broadcasting and i think even the rules there can be tightened up. there are rules around advertising on tv with children's programmes, they can be tightened up around family shows children watch, they aren't talking about public transport but we can tighten up and we should. we've got one of the worst child obesity records in europe. too many children are obese or overweight. they will become overweight adults and that brings with it physical and psychological problems, but also it's a strain on the nhs and it affects productivity. i want to focus on the advertising, there are strict rules on the advertising your talking about, not just broadcasting? the rules aren't as tight as they should be on the

public transport network and that's why we're tightening them up. you don't think the advertising standards agency is strict enough or doing a good enoughjob? in relation to the public transport network, it's my responsibility as the mayor to decide what's allowed. we will work with advertisers and companies and the advertising standards agency to make sure we get it right. the attitude from clients we speak to and the advertising agencies is positive, they understand there's a problem in london. they did this in and amsterdam earlier this year and we have seen their a reduction of the number of children that are overweight or obese. sadiq khan, while we have you, i want to talk about donald trump. earlier this year, in light of the meeting with north korean leader kimjong—un year, in light of the meeting with north korean leader kim jong—un and his efforts at diplomacy, but when he's been talking about the uk, you have responded on twitter saying an official visit by him wouldn't be welcomed and also recently he was talking to the nra and commenting

about knife crime in the uk. he's implied we should look at ourselves rather than commenting on the united states and its gun laws. what is your feeling now about a visit from donald trump? the issue of gun crime is serious. we shouldn't be distracted by that. it is suggesting the way we can reduce violent crime in london is to arm londoners with guns, he is wrong. there is no sense that guns on the streets of london will make us safer. his visit will not be a state visit, which i think is good. what about his content about blood on the floors of our hospitals because of knife crime? about blood on the floors of our hospitals because of knife crime7m gives me a chance to pay tribute to nhs doctors and nurses who work incredibly hard. but the hard work and confidence, i'm afraid more

young people would be losing their lives. we have a serious problem of violent crime in london. last weekend, a 17—year—old london and lost his life. in liverpool, a 20—year—old. in luton, a 20—year—old. in luton, a 20—year—old. these are national problems which demand solutions. we have to do whatever we can to reduce what young people do with gangs. a glimpse some of that lovely morning sunshine. that is at saint catherine stock. just trying to —— saint catherine stock. i am using my sailing terminology. there he is. good morning. i'vejust been below deck. i've got to do something between these hits. we are at the london and water festival here at st

katherin's dock, the only marina in central london. it's on through today and tomorrow. an island nation, such as ourselves. you probably need to do what the forecast is doing. a little bit mixed, to be fair. sunshine and wa nted mixed, to be fair. sunshine and wanted to heavy showers. a bit of a chill in the across the eastern part the country. that is now quickly dissipating. much of scotland england and wales, cloud increasing from the west. the breeze picking up as well. northern ireland, rain, some of which will be on the heavy side. maybe the devon and cornwall. a bit more clout, up to 18 or 19

degrees. feeling rather cool with a breeze. 11 or 10 degrees in northern ireland. the rain pushes its way north and east across the country. if you are in southern eastern england, can't guarantee you will see any rain tonight into tomorrow morning. the cloud should keep the temperature is up by and large. u nless temperature is up by and large. unless you are in parts of northern ireland, temperature is low enough for a touch of frost. some rain to begin with, that pushes through 0rkney & shetland in the day. the ca rd 0rkney & shetland in the day. the card increases through saturday. and then we see the crowd began eastern england, rain before the day is through. that will develop through the night and into sunday. check the forecast is to go into the weekend. some heavy rain to begin with, eastern england, through central parts of northern scotland. sunny

spells, wanted to showers developing. temperatures on sunday and monday, the midteens. 0ne developing. temperatures on sunday and monday, the midteens. one to showers can't be ruled out. we have the legacy of some cloud across northern and eastern parts of the country. a bit windy today across western areas. the wins will be that little bit lighter as we go through the weekend. time to me to get this show on the road. i am off. now you're on a motorbike. before, you we re you're on a motorbike. before, you were on a tugboat. he is really hoping we are going to go away. this time next week, you are going

to be live in windsor. the street party is a uniquely british tradition, bringing communities together for coronations, weddings and jubilees. and there'll be no exception next weekend for the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. some councils are positively encouraging them by waiving street closure fees. so what's the secret to holding a right royal street party? jayne mccubbin has been finding out: welcome to platt street, where the locals are all getting very excited. this is sharon, who is responsible for the street party comms. i have been doing some of the communication, i've ordered some of the flags. chris is on cocktails. i'm afraid so, probably not a good idea putting a glaswegian in charge of the bar, maybe that's why i got the role.

alan is helping with the food. we're having a vegetarian cassoulet. due to drinking so much. and this is michelle. my party role is chief bossy person. you've encoutered chris's cocktails. i have. i am very hospitable. but the key street party organisers are peter and andy. the secret is to pace yourself with chris's cocktails. are you royalists or are you in it for the kitsch? both, i would say, both for me. surely there is nothing more kitsch than a royal wedding street party. and there's a strong street party tradition right here on platt street. this was ve day. fast forward 66 years and this was platt street on william and kate's wedding.

now they're getting ready for harry and meghan. what is it about a royal wedding? it brings everyone together, it brings hope for the future, everyone is happy even if it's only for a day, in miserable times. there's been batch cooking aplenty. enough chilli for about 80 people. special outfits have been acquired. i moved to the neighbourhood six years ago after getting divorced. i am lucky to live somewhere so nice and friendly, it's a great community. celebrating the royal family obviously. is this a clipboard? it's an official clipboard, it's clipboard business. and when you take a party this seriously, organising the party is a bit of a party in itself. cheers! how's it all coming along? i think it's going fine, very well organised,

i would say, and i have a family from malaysia coming tojoin us too. brilliant, that's amazing. what do they make of the royal family? harry and meghan? i think they love the royal family. all the way from malaysia, not to windsor but platt street. quite possibly the second best party in town come may 19. are you holding a similar street party this coming weekend? batch cooking! and sunshine. we'd love to see your pictures of the preparations. you can send them to our whatsapp number — 0799 099 8866. or email them to bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk. he's arguably football's most recognisable voice — on sunday, john motson will put the microphone down for good after 50 years of commentary.

warm, reliable and that's just his coat! we'll speak to him just after 8.30. here are some of his more memorable moments. oh, no, what a goal! what a score. the crowd are invading the pitch. they take some time to clear the field. this is extraordinary. we are going to see the penalty spot painted during the match? suddenly, this is the new cheat sheet. my colleague ray stubbs raced around to ask how they what it was. here is the second team sheet which says

rinaldo plays and edmundo is a substitute. certainly some football history being made. i'm sure the penalty spot has never been painted during a first division match before. i'm afraid that mark weston and mark o'neill are going to have to wait a few moments longer have a chat with twickenham because it is absolutely snowbound here and there isa absolutely snowbound here and there is a gale around me. oh, dear me, he's going to be out of the final if england get their. for the tackle, gascoigne has had his second yellow ca rd of gascoigne has had his second yellow card of the competition and here is a moment that almost brings tears to his eyes. the thing is, you don't have to be a football fan. it's moved beyond that. it's an institution. he has

met quite a few characters along the way. looking forward to that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. analysis of met data by the bbc shows 85% of moped crime in the capital happens in north london. hot spots are often along roads where thieves can make a fast get away with camden and islington the worst boroughs. police say they have not lost control of the crime, despite an almost 30—fold increase in offences since 2012. despite the rise, we are absolutely committed to tackling moped and able offending across london and in fact, since january we've employed a number of new tactics that are starting to see dividends in terms of a real reduction in crime. and if you want to know how bad moped crime is in your area — there's a tool available

now on the bbc website. detectives say a significant suspect in the double murder of a father and daughter in deptford is dead. noel and marie brown were killed in december last year. the suspect, nathaniel henry, who has been linked by forensic evidence was reported missing in december but laterfound dead on new year's eve. enquiries into the murders continue. junk food advertising could be banned from the entire mobile phone apps which will allow nhs workers to go into emptied chips —— empty ships will be trialled. under the trial, thousands of doctors, midwives and nurses will be able to sign up to work extra hours using the technology. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line. a good service on the tubes. 0n the railway there are cancellations on hull trains between kings cross and hull — due to trains needing repairs. 0n the roads — we can look at the camera now. the marylebone flyover slow. lights at regent and

junction not working. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's another dry and a fine day across the capital. temperatures around about the average for this time of year still so not desperately warm but they will tend to be a bit a little bit higher than they were yesterday. we're getting off to a rather chilly start. some places down as low as 4 or 5 celsius this morning. plenty of sunshine around through the morning, that's when the best of the sunshine will be because the cloud amounts will increase as we head through the afternoon. the cloud will thicken from the west, that's the fairly weak weather front coming through later on this evening. top temperatures 16 and may be as high as 19 celsius and a southerly breeze will pick up as we head towards the end of the day, so we're likely to see a few outbreaks of light patchy rain and drizzle as we head through this evening, thickening cloud and then that will clear away to leave us

with clear skies into tomorrow morning so a sunny start to the day and still relatively mild temperatures in double figures in many of the towns. but the sunshine won't last tomorrow. the weekend is looking rather tricky. there will probably be some rain in thickening cloud on saturday afternoon, that rain could last into sunday morning but will clear away to leave us are mostly dry day with sunny spells, sunday probably the better looking day of the two. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. grammar schools in england will receive £50 million to create new places. the education secretary damian hinds says the move will give parents greater choice. unions say it serves only the priviledged few. the government has also scrapped its plan to relax admission rules for new faith schools in england. we'll be speaking to the education secretary in just under 10 minutes. advertisements promoting junk food

could be banned from london's public transport network as part of efforts to tackle childhood obesity. the city's mayor, sadiq khan, says removing adverts for food and drink that are high in sugar, salt and fat would go someway to dealing with what he called a timebomb of obesity. 40% of london's 10 and 11—year—olds are overweight. there were more insurance claims in 2018 from drivers hitting potholes than in the whole of last year. the aa says the number of potholes is a national disgrace and the damage costs £1 million a month to deal with. the department for transport says it's provided enough money to repair six million potholes. it's a shocking reminder of the state britain's rides have come to. it's almost a national embarrassment, actually, the state of main roads, residential streets and even motorways where potholes

are appearing after the harsh winter that we've had, and the amount that insurers are beginning to pay out has really skyrocketed. the effectiveness of the 1991 dangerous dogs act will be investigated by mps to see whether the public is properly protected. it comes after latest figures show that hospital admissions for dog attacks rose by 76% over the past decade, according to the environment, food and rural affairs committee. the rspca says the law is ineffective and unjust and needs replacing. the figure for inflation rates on student loans is absurd. nicky morgan said the use of the cpi for repayments which normally gives a higher rate of inflation than the consumer price index appears grossly unfair. the estranged wife of disgraced film producer harvey weinstein has given her first interview since he was accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women in hollywood.

speaking to american vogue, georgina chapman said she was never suspicious about his behaviour but admitted that she has been very naive. her fashion brand, marchesa, has been tainted by its association with weinstein. there's been a large explosion in the kilauea volcano that's erupting in hawaii. geologists say the explosion at the summit could send rocks and boulders flying into the air, and have also warned about an increase of toxic gases, which could be fatal if inhaled. thousands more residents have been told they could soon be evacuated from their homes. still dramatic images coming from there. mike has the sport. in an hour we will bejoined there. mike has the sport. in an hour we will be joined byjohn watson, legendary commentator, who does his final match on sunday, lots of memories of him and great interviews with the likes of brian clough. i wonder what he would make of this interview last night that has attracted headlines like it's

snout of order. it is worth saying, it was a moment in time, an incident on the pitch, but it was fine afterwards ? on the pitch, but it was fine afterwards? look at the pictures, you can decide what happened, it was becoming together of paul pogba coming together with mark noble. you could say he's lucky not to get sent off, he was angered by a tackle and whether intentional or not, his fingers end up in paul pogba's knows, no hard feelings in the end, the best of friends. second then for united but boss jose mourinho doesn't seem particularly thrilled by the achievement. i think it's all done and dusted. how about this for a strike to kick off the football league play—offs? this isjon nolan giving shrewsbury a 1—0 lead in the first leg of their league one play off semi—final against charlton at the valley. it's the first of the championship play—offs tonight, as derby host fulham. european league will dominate football in the future with the premier legaue,

relegated to midweek fixtures, that's according to the outgoing arsenal manager arsene wenger. he was speaking at his last press conference before he steps down after 22 years as the gunners boss. the next evolution? maybe i would see in a few years, and you have certainly a european league over the weekends. the domesticly will certainly play tuesday and wednesday. so i think that's the next step that we will see. what a week for kyle edmund. he beat novak djokovic on wednesday and he has followed that with a straight—sets win over world number 10 david goffin at the madrid 0pen. he's guaranteed a place in the world's top 20 after his recent run on clay and is into his first masters quarter—final. the british number 0ne will play denis shapovalov in the last eight tonight. i'm in a good place and it was good to beat novak and it gives

you confidence but winning big matches, it's nice to back it up again and again and notjust have a one—off big match. it's good you can play consistently well at big tournaments. he's not even yet on the plane... the england head coach eddiejones has warned danny cipriani that he'll be sent home if he misbehaves on the tour to south africa. cipriani has been called into the england squad for the first time in three years and has had well documented problems with discipline in the past. jones says that if cipriani is trouble then there is a plane coming back from johannesburg as well. a stark warning! ireland's cricketers will make history this morning as they play their first ever test match against pakistan at malahide. ireland become the 11th nation to play the longest form of the game after being granted test status last year, although they face a tough task against the touring pakistanis. it's the first big race of the cycling season and a briton

is the new leader of the giro d'italia, it's not chris froome, though. simon yates made his move to take the leader's pinkjersey a mile from the finish of the sixth stage on mount etna. he leads by 16 seconds. froome is more than a minute behind him in eighth. golf's so—called fifth major the players championship, the players championship is underway at tpc sawgrass in florida. the world number one dustin johnson is among six players leading the pack on six under par. england'sjustin rose isjust two behind on four under. how about this? stepping back in time for the next sports story, an official sport in scotland and other countries, 500 nights have marched toa countries, 500 nights have marched to a scottish palace for the biggest ever modi mediaeval combat challenge —— knights. not on horses, all on foot —— mediaeval combat. they are competing at schoon palace. its full

combat, england against australia. don't try this at home, they say there are fewer injuries than rugby because of their armour. i had a lesson from gabrielle from quebec. i was told to run around a lot but i was told to run around a lot but i was exposed at the end in the red shield targeted by andrew, their big man, ina shield targeted by andrew, their big man, in a best of three contest. what happened next? we will find out tomorrow how i got on against andrew from quebec. if you're going into battle, the whole point in the mediaeval times was to completely cut down the other side. this is to floor your man, or woman, cut down the other side. this is to flooryour man, orwoman, it cut down the other side. this is to floor your man, or woman, it is mixed. if i got you down, that would bea mixed. if i got you down, that would be a point to me, it's a bit like boxing. over what period of time? three rounds. how long? there was one contest, it is ten against ten,

england against australia, it came down to the point there were two english fighters against one australian and the australian held out for eight minutes and that meant the contest was a draw. no matter how many times they hit him they couldn't get the australian down. are you suffering with a bit of an injury? it is but a scratch. are you talking in mediaeval scratch? that is the monty python holy grail. a bit of a scratch. we will see more tomorrow. it looks worse than it is! when theresa may's promise to expand grammar school places was dropped from last year's queen's speech, it seemed she had failed to tackle a thorny political issue with entrenched views on both sides. but today, the government is resurrecting the idea and says £50 million is now available for selective schools to take more pupils. education secretary damian hinds can tell us more. hejoins us from hampshire. good morning and thank you for your

time this morning. can you outline the proposals you are pushing forward ? the proposals you are pushing forward? this is all about creating more good school places, over 800,000 school places have been created since 2010 and as the population grows and moves you need to make sure you do that and we need to make sure you do that and we need to make sure places are there where there is demand and to make sure they are good places reflecting the diversity of our school system. yes, that includes selective schools being able to expand but also comprehensive intake schools are able to expand as well. today we're also talking about the new wave of free schools, which is really important to bring innovation to the school system, and making sure that faith schools, voluntary aided schools are able to open where there's a need and for them as well. 0n the grammar schools, £50 million fund, where has that money come from? we have expansion capital for creating new school places, there's

demographic change and need to create more places. there's been 800,000 created since 2010. the £50 million for grammar school expansion isa million for grammar school expansion is a relatively small part of a relatively large capital pot which is there to make sure that we can accommodate the needs of families and make sure that we've got good school places and diversity and choice. no new grammar schools, the £50 million fund will allow them to get larger if they want to, but how many pupils can go to school as a result of this £50 million spending? it's not only about how many people is... no, it is really about how many pupils because ultimately, if i may, this matters, how many school places in the grammar school system will be created by spending £50 million? that would be in the low

thousands of school places. 1000? 1000 places? know, like i say, the low thousandss. —— no. it would depend on costings in different locations —— thousands. creating a school place in a selectors school, there's no reason to believe that is more expensive than creating a place in another type of school. it's about which families can access that and the condition of putting into this capital pot is the school will have to have a plan of how it can reach out further in terms of working with primary schools and looking at their admissions criteria —— bidding into. and their procedures to make sure they are as inclusive as possible and more children and disadvantaged backgrounds are able to access that information. how are you going to police that bit, how are you going to make sure... you don't know how many places you will create, which

seems odd on the face of it, you're prepared to put £50 million into something with no idea how many school places you're going to create. how do you insure that the people that get these new places at grammar schools are not the same people who are already getting the places, as in the privileged ones? well, first of all, we do have an idea of how many places... well, how many places is it then? but it's just the case that different parts of the country, different types of building and so on have different costs attached and we had the same conversation about saying it might be somewhat more or less if we talked about academies got prensa schools, rural schools ——, comprehensive schools. it seems a reasonable question to ask the secretary of state for education when he says he is spending £50 million on making grammar schools bigger to ask how many pupils get to go to the new schools. i don't know

why that's a difficult question. it's not a difficult question and to be fair! it's not a difficult question and to be fair i don't think my answer was a difficult answer either, it's in the low thousands. the £50 million isa the low thousands. the £50 million is a budget to bid into. we hope that will get used but it may not all get used but it will be something around 3000, 4000 in terms of places but it will depend on exactly where and so on. you asked how we would police these arrangements. look, istart from how we would police these arrangements. look, i start from the proposition that people will do what they say they'll do and head teachers and governors will follow through on their plans. but, of course, we'll also monitor that and that's something that you take into consideration for any future capital bidding. a lot of people are getting in touch this morning and they have raised this better than me from their own experience, dinesh has got in touch today, he said," your plan, great for in touch today, he said," your plan, greatforgrammar in touch today, he said," your plan, great for grammar schools but our local school budgets are being cut

with staff reductions and other budget issues. grammar schools do not help social mobility, as shown bya not help social mobility, as shown by a recent study by durham universe the". it's no exaggeration to say all the comments we've had, the theme is the same —— durham university. but you're kidding yourself if this is going to help diversity. meanwhile you've got head teachers of schools are affected saying they can't make ends meet and they're getting their school budgets are tight, i acknowledge that, there have been cost pressures in the last couple of years. it is a challenge making that work. it's also true there's more funding going into schools than there has been in the past, a record number of teachers in our schools as well. you know, we are funding the expansion of schools because demographic change, population growth and so on in different parts of the country mean

you need to provide new schools and revenue funding of course followed those places, whatever type of school it is. we have expansion funding for comprehensive intake schools, the new wave of free schools, the new wave of free schools and the provision of capital for new voluntary aided schools where there is need, parental demand and were good places can be created and were good places can be created and selected school expansion is pa rt and selected school expansion is part of responding to that demand and making sure there are enough good school places and choice for pa rents. good school places and choice for parents. you will be aware of a letter sent to the prime minister, russell hobby, national association of head teachers, a letter about the funding crisis they say they're facing. schools facing real term cuts of £3 billion and to make ends meet, head teachers are forced to make meet, head teachers are forced to ma ke staff meet, head teachers are forced to make staff redundant, cut subjects, class size and cut back on extracurricular activity —— increase class size. you wouldn't deny any of

that, they're not making this stuff up, and today they hear you're pledging money to the grammar school system. would you understand people think you're priorities are in the wrong direction? we are not pledging more money. grammar schools get less money per child. school budgets are tight and there have been these cost pressures . tight and there have been these cost pressures. school funding is higher thanit pressures. school funding is higher than it used to be. it also said we will protect, even in real terms, protect that funding the next couple of years. i also want to work with schools, to do what we can to bear down on some of those cost pressures . down on some of those cost pressures. some parents might want to hear the education secretary this morning admitting that you haven't got enough money to make the schools as good as would like. would you be

prepared to admit that? rather than admitting things are tight and the terror challenges. we do have great schools up and down the country. of course, it has to be properly resourced and properly funded. part of that is the ongoing funding. that is higher than it has been. we compare ourfunding to is higher than it has been. we compare our funding to other countries, comparing favourably with that as well but we continue to look at this. thank you very much the time this morning. mattjoins us from st katharine docks with the weather this morning. a glorious morning there. i stress, on the water, not in the water.

it's fantasy friday to me this morning, we are at st katharine docks, it's the london and water festival, i'm deciding between this one and maybe something. jumping across, a little bit bigger, but a bit more plush. half £1 million worth of luxury yachts. it's not just all about the luxury yacht. it ta kes pla ce just all about the luxury yacht. it takes place through today and into tomorrow as well. beautiful blue skies. if you are taking to the water ‘s it's a bit of a mixed forecast. by no means, a write—off. do the western half of the country, the gales will develop. much of scotla nd the gales will develop. much of scotland and england and wales, a

cracking start to the day. cloud amounts will increase through the day as the rain spreads across northern ireland into western scotla nd northern ireland into western scotland later this afternoon. if you get stuck under the cloud and rain, it will be a cool afternoon. still some sunny spells across eastern areas, anywhere between 15 and 19 degrees possible. a notch up on what we saw yesterday. if you wa nt to on what we saw yesterday. if you want to get your pot plants watered this evening across southern and eastern parts, it mightn't be a bad idea. the rain may affect southern and eastern parts of england. confined to parts of scotland as we go into tomorrow morning. maybe a touch of frost into northern ireland. lots of sunshine to begin the day yet again away from northern scotland. here, and improving situation as the rain clears, sunny spells developing. we could see that

—— we could see some is ? must and rain may start to develop. that rain could linger across eastern counties of england and eastern scotland into sunday morning, heavy in places. keep checking the forecast, better chance of clearing away. one to showers the many into the afternoon, may be staying west into the north of scotland. it all fizzles out. bearing out of clouds, sunny spells developing and just wanted to showers. temperatures on monday likely will be through this weekend generally around the midteens. not as hot as it was last weekend but once you have the sunshine overhead, it should feel pleasant enough. that is how your forecast is looking. i'm off to look inside three bedrooms, including bunkbeds. enjoy your day. i'm glad you're not mark issues. by

way of contrast, people struggling, whether they choose where they live or circumstances, this is about renting but how often do we talk about the struggle for young people to get on the property ladder. the number of people in their forties who are renting their home is on the rise. a big proportion of people in the middle age renting. around 20% of us rent privately in the uk. that's compared to about 30% who own their home and have a mortgage. as you would expect nearly half of 25— to 34—year—old's rent their homes but there's been a big increase in the proportion of people aged 35 to 54 who are private tenants. this group has nearly doubled in 10 years since 2006—07.

a lot of people might be familiar with the story of paul mckay, his rented a dozen properties over the last 20 years. the real downside is the amount it takes out of your disposable income. i have to remove something in the order of 40% to cover my rent and bills. it's too much to get onto the housing ladder. i made a fairly conscious decision to improve the quality of my life, not to try and break my back saving for something that ultimately our might not be able to achieve abaci coming toa might not be able to achieve abaci coming to a huge windfall cash. it's probably just off the coming to a huge windfall cash. it's probablyjust off the radar from the altogether. i just try to make the best of things. you hear things like that any wonder, what the reasons? we look into why people might end up

this situation. death and divorce are the three reasons given. particularly in the 45— 50 age bracket. that is a lot to do with it. there are concerns around single pa rents it. there are concerns around single parents with children who are renting. if you have that extra cost. what are your prospects of ever having met stability? all of this comes down to the issues around the rental market as a whole. if people could read affordably and sustainability, have a bit of stability, that might be fine but when people get into retirement and are earning what they were before, can they afford the rents they were paying. those statistics are really interesting. i was thinking if there was any way to link what you are talking about with what we are talking about with what we are talking about with what we are talking about next. the eurovision song contest? no. the uk's performance at eurovision

hasn't been brilliant over the past couple of years — we've come just 24th and 15th out of 26 countries who compete on the night. tomorrow's competition takes place in lisbon — the favourites are cyprus, israel and france. surie will sing for the uk after being chosen in february. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito has been to meet her in portugal. eurovision has arrived in lisbon. now with a smile, please. the city is awash with good cheer and euro pop passion. sing, encanta! and the lucky few even got an invitation to the ambassador‘s party. the dress code, casual and fabulous. the g and ts even had a touch dry ice. and the star guest, surie, of course, the uk's

eurovision hopeful. hey, bright eyes. # do you remember when we were kids with no fear? and this isn't her first eurovision. so when you step out on stage, what is the feeling? it's an incredible feeling because the electricity that is charged from the crowd, the eurovision crowd in that arena is like no other audience i have experienced. go, surie! and she has with an army of supporters. i was in germany last night, the first time i saw it. i stood there and i was absolutely, i had to take my glasses off, i was streaming with cheap tears. 0ur super fans were full

of passion but not much hope. does britain stand a chance? no. i believe a bit of a chance. i believe we are going to come 17th. 17th, you're that specific? i am saying 17, yes. once upon a time, britain was a eurovision superpower. the last 20 years, not so much. # lie to me, baby. what do you think the uk's attitude overall is to eurovision? i think it is taboo, it is still a taboo subject in the uk. it's a huge show on saturday night. everyone tunes in that no one wants to talk about it. it was time to talk to dr eurovision. yes, paul has a ph.d in. . . eurovision. there is a problem of perception. in terms of the music, people think the music is rubbish. there is some good music and good talent but we don't see in the same way.

we have a strong music industry that doesn't necessarily in the same way other so.. don't give up, no, no. and her odds this year? 200 toi. but remember, there is always hope. have you thought about if you win? i'll probably just spontaneously combust into glitter and feathers, because that's eurovision. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. analysis of met data by the bbc shows 85%

of moped crime in the capital happens in north london. hot spots are often along roads where thieves can make a fast get away, with camden and islington the worst boroughs. police say they've not lost control of the crime, despite an almost 30—fold increase in offences since 2012. despite the rise, we are absolutely committed to tackling moped and able offending across london and in fact, since january we've employed a number of new tactics that are starting to see dividends in terms of a real reduction in crime. and if you want to know how bad moped crime is in your area — there's a tool available now on the bbc website. detectives say a significant suspect in the double murder of a father and daughter in deptford is dead. noel and marie brown were killed in december last year. the suspect, nathaniel henry, who has been linked by forensic evidence was reported missing in december but laterfound dead on new year's eve. enquiries into the murders continue. mobile phone apps which

would allow nhs workers to book onto empty shifts are being trialled at some london hospitals. the aim is to reduce the use of expensive agency staff and provide more flexible working. under the trial, thousands of doctors, midwives and nurses will be able to sign up to work extra hours using the technology. let's have a look at the travel situation now. it's a good service on all tube lines. 0n the railway, there are cancellations on hull trains in and out of kings cross due to trains needing repairs. we can look at the camera now. the marylebone flyover is slow into town from the westway. 0n the m25 there's one lane blocked and traffic is slow. north circular, westbound at melville gardens after an incident. that takes us to the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's another dry and a fine day across the capital. temperatures around

about the average for this time of year still so not desperately warm but they will tend to be a bit a little bit higher than they were yesterday. we're getting off to a rather chilly start. some places down as low as 4 or 5 degrees celsius this morning. plenty of sunshine around through the morning, that's when the best of the sunshine will be because the cloud amounts will increase as we head through the afternoon. cloud will thicken from the west, that's the fairly weak weather front coming through later this evening. top temperatures up to 16 and may be as high as 19 celsius and a southerly breeze picks up as we head towards the end of the day, so we're likely to see a few outbreaks of light patchy rain and drizzle as we head through this evening, thickening cloud and then that will all clear away to leave us with clear skies into tomorrow morning so a sunny start to the day and still relatively mild temperatures in double figures in many of the towns. but the sunshine won't last tomorrow. the weekend's looking rather tricky. there will probably be some rain and thickening cloud on saturday afternoon, that rain could last into sunday morning but will clear away to leave us a mostly dry

day with sunny spells, hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a £50 million fund for grammar schools to expand. the money for existing schools is aimed at helping disadvantaged pupils. critics say it's the wrong policy when education budgets are at breaking point. good morning, it's friday 11th may. also a ban on junk food advertising on london's transport network is announced by the city's mayor in a bid to tackle child obesity. there are more insurance claims over pot holes so far this year, than in the whole of 2017. the aa says it costs £1 million per month to repair vehicles. good morning.

we've been looking at the often—frustrating world of renting today. you've been getting in touch, i'll have a recap for you and we'll hear some of your thoughts in a moment. in sport, tempers boil over as manchester united secure second place in the premier league. a scuffle in which paul pogba ends up with mark noble's fingers up his nose marrs the goaless draw at west ham, which ensures united are runners up. it's eurovision weekend. with songs like this in the competition, we'll take a look at the uk's chances. and matt has the weather. never mind puppets on a string, we are at the boat festival at saint catherine ‘s dock, cracking start of the day, but will the weekend

forecast be plain sailing or will it be choppy waters ahead? plenty of times to enjoy it. see you in 15 minutes. first, our main story. grammar schools in england will receive £50 million to create new places. the education secretary, damian hinds says the move will give parents greater choice. union leaders have criticised the decision, saying the policy favours the privileged few. in the last half hour, mr hinds defended the new funding. we have expansion capital for creating new school places. i mean, there is demographic change, there is need to create more school places. there has been 800,000 created since 2010 and actually do £50 million for grammar school expansion is a relatively small part of a large capital pot, which is there to make sure we can accommodate the needs of families and make sure we have good school places and diversity and choice. we can speak to our political correspondent iain watson

who is in westminsterfor us. iain, this is a divisive issue even within the conservative party. that's right, and it's always been controversial even in the conservative party about grammar schools. mrs thatcher, when she was education secretary was responsible for closing grammar schools. we know in the 2017 election theresa may was in favour of expanding grammar schools but having lost the majority, that decision was ditched, so what we have seen instead is rather than an expansion of new grammar schools we are seeing the expansion of existing grammar schools. effectively this money was announced away before the election in 2016 but the first £50 million is coming forward and in effect that will allow existing schools to expand the critics are saying this could be new grammar schools by the

back door. if it is annexes to grammar schools which can be ten miles from the existing school effectively you have a new grammar school after all. the labour point of view there saying it's a waste of money when cash is tight and it is a vanity project by the government and suggesting it does not help social mobility as people they receive free meals are less at grammar schools than comprehensive. the second ma nifesto than comprehensive. the second manifesto commitment has also been ditched to allow schools to select entirely on the bases on faith and now that has been ditched as well so somebody wants to set up a new free school as a faith group they will still have to take 50% of pupils from a non—faith background. still have to take 50% of pupils from a non-faith background. thank you very much. the mayor of london wants to ban advertisements which promote junk food from the city's public transport network. it's part of an effort to tackle childhood obesity.

40% of 10 and 11—year—olds in the capital are overweight. ben ando reports. wherever or whenever you're travelling in london, fast food adverts seem to be a constant companion. ads for takeaways, soft drinks or sugary snacks adorn bus stops, train interiors and station platforms. but with nearly four in ten of london's ten or 11—year—olds overweight or obese, the mayor of london says it's time for action. sadiq khan wants to ban these ads on the entire transport for london network, making it the second city in europe, after amsterdam, to do so. they've got to advertise healthy foods. if they're not willing to do so, they've got to go elsewhere and bearing in mind, a lot of the adverts across london, outside the home are on our network. we really think this will make an impact on the choices children and families make. nutrition is also a social divider with children in poorer boroughs like dagenham and barking, nearly twice as likely to be overweight as those in more prosperous areas like richmond. is it ok to blatantly marketjunk food to our children?

the scheme is being backed by tv chef, jamie oliver, who recently launched a twitter campaign with the hashtag #adenough, calling for similar ban on junk food advertising. he says children are bombarded with such images wherever they go. as well as banning advertising on london's buses, trains and tubes, the mayor also wants to stop fast—food outlets opening within 400 metres of the school gates and has created a child obesity task force which meets for the first time later this year. ben ando, bbc news, central london. the effectiveness of the "1991 dangerous dogs act" will be investigated by mps to see whether the public is properly protected. it comes after latest figures show that hospital admissions for dog attacks rose by 76% over the past decade, according to the environment, food and rural affairs committee. the rspca says the law is "ineffective and unjust" and needs replacing. there have been more insurance claims in 2018

from drivers hitting potholes than in the whole of last year. the aa says the state of the roads is a national disgrace and the damage is costing drivers £1 million a month. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. a pothole down there. pothole! bouncy... mind the pothole! ooh! bouncy! another pothole. this one near a busyjunction in west sussex filmed by a driver last weekjust after he hit it. he says the hole had been there two weeks, putting traffic in danger and damaging his car. i heard a big thud, but if you look at my tyre down here, it ripped the tyre. the steering's gone as well. so i'm having... when i drove back, i had to drive the car with the wheel at about 9am, ten o'clock to drive in a straight line, so the steering's completely out.

the aa says there's been an astonishing increase in pothole insurance claims. 4,200 so far in 2018. that's nearly three times the number at the same stage last year, the average repair costing £1,000. it's almost a national embarrassment, actually, the state of main roads, residential streets and even motorways where potholes are appearing after the harsh winter that we've had, and the amount that insurers are beginning to pay out has really skyrocketed. the government says it's provided enough money to repair six million potholes, but the aa says councils need more cash for thejob. this one has now been fixed. the longer they're left, though, the more havoc they can cause. simon gompertz, bbc news. the estranged wife of disgraced film producer harvey weinstein, has given her first interview since he was accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women in hollywood. speaking to american vogue, georgina chapman said she was never suspicious about his behaviour but admitted that she has been very naive.

her fashion brand, marchesa, has been tainted by its association with weinstein. there's been a large explosion in the kilauea volcano that's erupting in hawaii. geologists say the explosion at the summit could send rocks and boulders flying into the air, and have also warned about an increase of toxic gases, which could be fatal if inhaled. thousands more residents have been told they could soon be evacuated from their homes. in the last 24 hours, friends and fans of dame barbara windsor have been sending love and support to the former eastenders star, after her husband told the sun that she was diagnosed with alzheimer's disease back in 2014. in a moment we'll speak to three people who knowjust how vital that support is. but first, our medical correspondent, fergus walsh explains why dame barbara's husband chose to speak out. oh, my dear friend, you won't ever leave me, will you?

dame barbara windsor in herfinal appearance in eastenders in 2016, two years after being diagnosed with alzheimer's disease, the degenerative brain condition. increasing difficulty remembering her lines is one reason why she decided to leave the soap. her career on tv and in nine carry on films has made dame barbara entertainment royalty. seen here with her husband scott mitchell in 2000 collecting an mbe, scott said the couple had kept her dementia diagnosis private for the past four years. but since barbara's 80th birthday last august, a definite, continual confusion has set in, so it's becoming a lot more difficult for us to hide. he added... alzheimer's charities say overcoming the stigma surrounding dementia

is vital and they've praised dame barbara and her husband for speaking out. fergus walsh, bbc news. we are joined now by wendy mitchell, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2014, simon mcdermott, who has become a full—time carer for his dad following his diagnoses and kathryn smith, the chief operating officer at the alzheimer's society. welcome, all. just a thought from you, the story about dame barbara windsor in the papers yesterday got a lot of coverage and we understand many people have been talking more about the condition. is that something you've already seen? absolutely. it's very sad for barbara and her husband they are living with this but it's fantastic they spoke out about it. one of the key things is

that we need to deal with the stigma and people need to get the right support, and it is dementia week coming up right now and we have had people ringing us and talking about it, and that is just what we need. simon, it's interesting. we've spoken to you before, with your dad as well, and lots of people will remember the car karaoke, because you are singing with your dad in the video that went viral, because he could remember songs when he was forgetting everything else. it is talking about this and recognising it. a long time your father was very angry and frustrated with it. maybe had some inside, but he did not acce pt had some inside, but he did not accept what was going on, so the confusion was coming out as a rage and that was what we tried to deal with. and it was getting him to go to the doctor and get diagnosed, that was a massive effort for us in the end. wendy, i know with your

daughters, they've been a massive support but it's been really important in terms of boundaries, and assessing your life that you are still independent. that's right. it's the talking that has helped us decide on those boundaries. i need to know what makes them worry as well as the other way round, so like getting here, they've been tracking me to make sure i'm getting here. on an app, so that makes them feel happy that i am all right without restricting me from coming. wendy, you have been very open about how you have been very open about how you have been very open about how you have good days and bad days. and the difficulty ofjust having any kind of constants. dementia is like a cruel game. some days it will throw a curveball that you and you won't know what on earth you are doing or where you are. but for me,

because i'm such a positive person. i always say tomorrow might be better. that's very difficult for many people to do, but if you dwell on the sadness and you dwell on the bad days, then it is a day lost of happiness. so many people love your attitude and more people are talking about alzheimer's. part of that, when you encounter people and they are more mindful of some of the problems people face, that could be a big practical help? absolutely. when i moved into my village, i live in a row of similar houses and i met my neighbour thinking my house was his house. that was our first meeting. if he had been angry or aggressive

at that point, i might not have gone out again, because i would have been worried about finding my house. because he was so supportive, we have a wonderful time now. what makes a massive difference is the kindness of strangers. yes. some days are really tough. when does that happen? just being mindful of my dad's behaviour. he can do some strange things that normal people wouldn't do. it is somebodyjust going with that and not acting weird around bad. it be in dad's normality because his normality is different to ours. how difficult was it to adjust yourself, simon. you have had to think differently so wendy's daughters now track her because they wa nt to daughters now track her because they want to make sure she is safe but let's have her independence. there is that balance between smothering

and trying to open the tech? also, every case is different and what works with some people is different for somebody else. my dad, it is just to make sure he feels he is safe and is around people he loves and is happy. what he is passionate about, he is still doing. this barbara windsor thing, by he has announced it now, it is basically so they can carry on a normal life and do things she enjoys. they can do that without people judging her. wendy, forgive me, i am struggling with the terminology around it and you are living with this all the time. people do worry about how to respond, should you ask a question of someone if they are ok and some of someone if they are ok and some of that stuff can be awkward? we we re of that stuff can be awkward? we were talking about this early and they were describing a dementia

friendly community. if people understand more about dementia and people can take action on. they can then understand the little things that make the difference, be a bit more patient and looking out for each other. if a person doesn't have dementia, a little bit of kindness and patience doesn't hurt anybody but if i see somebody who might be struggling or looks confused, i don't need to say, have you got dementia? ijust don't need to say, have you got dementia? i just have don't need to say, have you got dementia? ijust have to say, do you need any help? when i read your book, there was an incident with a taxi company? the woman at the other end of the phone, you felt got frustrated until you explained what happened? yes, because i use taxis all the time because the village doesn't have a very good bus service. if the taxi is late, i am on the phone finding out where it is because i am not sure if i have forgotten to book it or not. sol

could tell they were getting really frustrated by that. so when i next we nt frustrated by that. so when i next went into town, i went in and before i went into their office, i bought a load of nice biscuits and chocolates and took them in. i said, i load of nice biscuits and chocolates and took them in. i said, lam wendy, the one you keep getting annoyed with, can i explain why? since then, they have been totally wonderful and whenever my train is delayed, they say come and wait at the desk and we will get you home when we can. it is talking to people and making them aware of how they can help you. such a perfect illustration of lot of thing, including the power of biscuits. illustration of lot of thing, including the power of biscuitsm is notjust the people with dementia, it is the family as well. they are going through hell sundays and it is being mindful of what they are going through. you have been to are going through. you have been to a big learning curve, would you be

one of those people wendy was talking about people who didn't have the patience, would you maybe have been one of those people, going back? i guess we have all done it? before this happened i wouldn't have had any idea and it wouldn't have gone through my mind. my learning curve, just be mindful and be kind to people. you don't know what anybody is going through. i was in london with dad and he refused to sit down and he was talking to everybody. one guy at a table came over and say, i know what is going on. he spoke to my dad. was this before your dad was diagnosed? on. he spoke to my dad. was this before your dad was diagnosed7m was at the same time, it was just as one guy talking to dad, changed the moment. we always say, when we get the diagnosis, the whole family get the diagnosis, the whole family get the diagnosis. so everybody is affected in different ways. some

days it isn't manageable. your mental health goes out of the window and that is why i say, the support of the alzheimer's society and other charities makes a massive difference. being able to speak to somebody... i know from when wendy was last in makes a huge impact, she does well in a straightforward way, what it is like. i think it is right that dementia can be very difficult for carers of the person living with dementia, sometimes more so. having someone dementia, sometimes more so. having someone to talk to and the alzheimer's society has a helpline and summon up the end of the phone to get support and in the community. it makes the difference. the taxi example, i was saying we work with bus companies are being dementia friendly. i was telling them about a

lady i used to work with who got really frustrated and upset because she wanted to go out. people didn't wa nt she wanted to go out. people didn't want her to go out because they were frightened she would hurt herself. she wanted to get on the bus so we got hold of the bus company and said, can you watch this lady, she was called dorothy, let her on the bus, let her go on herjourney and then come back. they did that every day, and her aggression and frustration dropped because she was managing to get out and do her routine. talking to people, it makes a difference. thank you all for coming and talking about it. look at yourselves. a 22 a.m. is the time, coming up to the weekend. mattjoins us from st katharine docks with the weather this morning. good morning. little bit of escapism

for your friday, taking place here today and this weekend, saturday at least is the london and water festival which is showcasing boats, boat design and boat makers from around the world. stunning boats, some of them 30 metres long. there isa some of them 30 metres long. there is a bit of something for everyone andi is a bit of something for everyone and i am enjoying the lifestyle, pretending at least. the weather todayis pretending at least. the weather today is looking great, lots of sunshine overhead here. this weekend we will see some rain at times, especially in the eastern half of the country and a few showers in the west. that will be the case today, lots of sunshine to begin with. a chilly start and frost in scotland to start today but across western areas, cloud is spilling in with outbreaks of rain on and off to the day in northern ireland and then across the far west of scotland and in two parts of wales, devon and cornwall. windy in the west and we could see gales around the hills later on. we start with blue skies

and more cloud around when yesterday. sunny spells into the afternoon and temperatures in the mid to high teens, 18 or 19 across east anglia and the south east. feeling cool in northern ireland with outbreaks of rain. sunshine into the evening, rain spread eastwards. as skies clear later on towards the west, temperatures will ta ke towards the west, temperatures will take a towards the west, temperatures will takea drop, towards the west, temperatures will take a drop, maybe in northern ireland a touch of frost to take you into the weekend. elsewhere, not quite as chilly as this morning. we start saturday with rain across parts of north and east in scotland and that will graduate to sunny spells and one or two showers. cloud across england and wales will gradually develop and sell welfare might be heavy showers and thunderstorms. eastern counties, risk of heavy rain developing into the evening. that could linger to saturday night into sunday across eastern counties. there is a chance it could be further east so it could

bea dry it could be further east so it could be a dry start before things brighten up. rain across northern scotland, but across the country, 12 heavy showers and temperatures in the late teens as they will be in most areas on monday. by monday, the railing in around the north sea will depart for a time and things turned dry. 0ne depart for a time and things turned dry. one or two showers are possible through next week with high pressure building in. dry weather to come and warming upjusta building in. dry weather to come and warming upjust a little but there will be some showers and longer spells of rain at times in the northern half of the country. this weekend, bit of sunshine here and there, but quite windy in the west. if my wife is watching, i am not bringing this own. but the producer is at the helm, she can bring this boat home. jenny, the maldives. studio: not yet, you have a bit more work to do for us first. you have been talking to us about renting this morning? yes it's a topic that

impacts so many people. you've been getting in touch all morning. 0ne one person has been in touch with me and said she has been renting, she has mental health issues, i have a low income and get working tax credits. this prevents me from getting a rented property. she said it is discrimination. somebody has beenin it is discrimination. somebody has been in touch who is a landlord who rents a three bed house in north london and they have gone through this whole process of having tenants stay with them that have disabilities. they have had to make adjustments, but they were told they would have to suffer any costs if it was corrected. they said they did that but it ends up being difficult for landlords and they need support. it isa for landlords and they need support. it is a fascinating subject. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. it will not be as warm as it was

last weekend. for today, fairly bright start to the day with sunshine but out to the west we have cloudier skies and rain. you can see clearly on the satellite imagery where you have the clouds spiralling around the low pressure. in the east, some bright skies and we will hold onto sunny spells towards the far east of england and north—east scotla nd far east of england and north—east scotland into the afternoon. elsewhere, cloud increases but the rain spreads its way in. let's look at 4pm this afternoon where we have temperatures at around 11 degrees in northern ireland. further east,

temperatures about 17 or 19 celsius. through the evening, the weather front will move further east giving patchy rain elsewhere that this low pressure is still with us to take this into the weekend which means it will be fairly unsettled and what we mean by that? there will be showers across wales, south—west england and later in the day some rain spreading into south—east england towards lincolnshire and the north—east. elsewhere though, saturday not too bad with dry and bright weather and temperature is about to 19 celsius, just below the average for the time of year. the low pressure system is with us into sunday and the weather front is straggling around the north sea coast. there is some uncertainty on the positioning of the rain as we go into sunday so the forecast might change. stay tuned for the forecast. but morning rain across parts of eastern england will clear away, becoming more confined in scotland in the afternoon and some heavy

showers in wales and south—west england and sunny spells elsewhere but most temperatures down a bit between 13 and 16 degrees. have a good weekend. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and maryam moshiri. france calls new us sanctions on iran ‘unacceptable', as the trump administration goes after firms with ties to the country's revolutionary guard. live from london, that's our top story. as the us pressures iran with new sanctions over ‘malign activity‘. the french foreign minister says europeans shouldn't have to pay for the us decision to withdraw from the deal. also in the programme, there may be one million bicycles in beijing, butjudging by these
