7:04 am
stabbed in the street. eyewitnesses reported scenes of panic as an attacker lashed out with a blade. investigators say he shouted "allahu akbar," arabic for "god is great." police flooded the area near the opera house, and eyewitnesses said officers first tried to taser the suspect, and then fired two shots. the authorities have confirmed the attacker is dead. translation: the police arrived quickly. everyone arrived quickly. we didn't know what was going on. we were quickly moved inside the bar. i went outside and i saw a man lying on the floor. president macron said his thoughts were with the victims and their loved ones. he saluted the courage of the police officers who, in his words, neutralised the terrorist. the city's mayor said that all parisian stood by the victims' side. the incident is being treated as terrorism, but there has been no word on the background
7:05 am
of the attacker. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility, saying it was targeting countries of the coalition that fought against it in the middle east. translation: france is absolutely determined not to yield in any way to the threats issued by attackers. our response will be firm and clear. over the past three years, a string ofjihadist attacks around france have claimed the lives of almost 250 people. as the investigation continues, police will remain on high alert. dozens of rough sleepers from eu countries are to receive thousands of pounds in compensation after being illegally detained and deported. figures obtained by the bbc reveal that in the 12 months to may last year, almost 700 people were targeted, despite some of them being able to prove that they were working. the home office introduced the policy two years ago, while theresa may
7:06 am
was home secretary. theresa may has insisted she can be trusted to deliver the brexit people voted for, amid continuing cabinet divisions over new customs arrangements with the eu. in an article for the sunday times, the prime minister says she will ensure that the uk takes back control of its borders, money, and laws. our political correspondent tom barton is in our london newsroom. good morning. notjust the prime minister who has been talking about customs union today, is it? that's right, in the article in the sunday times today, that prime minister has reiterated that position she has made time and time again, which is that it will leave the customs union. not quite how to do that is more complicated —— britain will leave. the prime minister is considering two main options, one called a customs partnership, with britain collecting import taxes on
7:07 am
behalf of the eu. that has been vociferously opposed by brexiteers, including borisjohnson, vociferously opposed by brexiteers, including boris johnson, because vociferously opposed by brexiteers, including borisjohnson, because it would limit the uk's ability to make details to make deals outside of the eu. the other is maximum facilitation, allowing goods to move in and out of the uk. there have been big questions raised about that by remainers who say it would lead toa by remainers who say it would lead to a hardboard with ireland. the government will continue to develop this idea during negotiations and they accept there will be compromises. meanwhile, writing in the mail on sunday, three high—profile remainers say that hard brexiteers are holding the uk's negotiating position to ransom call on remain supporting mps to take back control of the brexit process. thank you very much. suicide bombers have attacked three churches in indonesia's second city, surabaya, killing at least nine people and injuring a0 more. the blasts occured within ten minutes of each other. let's get the latest from our indonesia correspondent rebecca henschke, who is injakarta.
7:08 am
they were well caught unaided, the first blasts happened at 7:30 a.m., at the end of the first mass before the second was about to begin, and within ten minutes two of the blast took place at two are that churches in the city. —— two other churches. we can see the first blasts seems to have been carried out by a man on a motorbike coming into the first church near the entrance and appearing to explode, and the second blast, police are saying was carried out by a woman carrying children. the first time children, if that is confirmed, the first time children have been involved in such an attack in indonesia. the serial killer dennis nilsen has died in prison. he was 72.
7:09 am
nilsen, a former civil servant, had been injail since 1983. he strangled at least 15 people at his home in north london. most of his victims were homeless gay men. there will be an investigation into his death. the army in the democratic republic of congo says it is working with park rangers to try to locate two british tourists who were kidnapped by an armed gang. authorities say that several armed groups operate in and around the virunga national park, and there have been frequent kidnappings of local people. the foreign office is providing support to the families involved. a picture of the queen's official consent for prince harry's marriage to meghan markle has been released. there is now less than a week to go until the big day. our correspondent simon clemison is at buckingham palace this morning. what is the significance of this letter? ican i can feel the frisson of excitement building up. what was the significance of this letter? very good morning to you. anyone might seek the blessing of their parents oi’ seek the blessing of their parents or grandparents in this case, but in royal circles that ends in paperwork. it is quite some
7:10 am
paperwork. it is quite some paperwork. as well as the texts, there are these illustrations. harry is prince henry of wales, so we have a dragon and also rose, shamrock and thistle to represent the whole of the uk. another rose makes an appearance, the national flower of the us, and two poppies for the state flower of california. this is what you are looking at now, the queen being asked to give her approval. this is something which was changed in law hundreds of years ago, in fact, was changed in law hundreds of years ago, infact, when was changed in law hundreds of years ago, in fact, when there was a highly controversial royal marriage and it was decided the monarch should give consent for any descendants wanting to tie the knot. that has been tweaked slightly now, and it is just the first six in line to the throne, harry now number six, of course, after the birth of prince louis. the queen would only say no on the advice of the prime minister. if she had, he could still get
7:11 am
married but he couldn't be king. and as usual, the family of the bride—to—be in focus as well, meghan markle's father. yes, this is how much focus there is. according to the mail on sunday, i don't know if you have seen these pictures over the past few days of meghan markle's father, getting in shape according to these pictures, but as you can see, they are saying look, this cctv picture is showing that these are staged and he is turning up with photographers to make some of these pictures. so he and their mother are arriving to meet the duke of edinburgh and the queen. but prince harry said originally, very early on in the relationship, that he wanted to see a bit more distance with some elements of the press. thank you very much. it was a night filled with drama at the eurovision final in lisbon, after a man invaded the stage during the uk's performance. he grabbed the microphone from surie before being dragged off and arrested.
7:12 am
she later turned down the chance to sing again, and finished third—from—bottom. the show belonged to israel's netta, who won with her song toy, referred to by most viewers as the ‘chicken song'. she fought off competition from cyprus and was clearly delighted when she won. i'm so happy! thank you so much for choosing different. accepting differences between us. thank you for celebrating diversity. thank you. it was a celebration indeed, wasn't it? it was, did you watch it? i did, ididn't it? it was, did you watch it? i did, i didn't stay up until the end, but idid i didn't stay up until the end, but i did watch her. i didn't think she would win, but i can see why she
7:13 am
won. it was very eurovision. let's get more on the story that dozens of eu nationals who were sleeping rough will be paid compensation worth thousands of pounds for being deported illegally. figures obtained by the bbc show that hundreds of people were removed under the policy. let's speak to immigration lawyer leonie hirst, who is representing a number of complainants. she is in our london newsroom. good morning to you. tell us first of all what the government has done wrong. well, this was a policy introduced at the end of 2015 in which the government was targeting eu nationals who were here lawfully, working and exercising their treaty rights. and the government's intention was simply to try and remove people who had a right to be hit. so the government is removing people who are sleeping rough. under the rules, as i understand it, they have to be self—sufficient. are they self—sufficient if they are sleeping in doorways and out in the open? well, many of the people removed under the policy were in fact
7:14 am
working and others were in periods of temporary unemployment, so they had a legal right to be here. and there are existing powers to remove people who don't exercise their treaty rights and don't have the right to be here. the whole purpose of this policy was to target people who otherwise have the right to be here. give us some examples of people you are representing. i have a client who was encountered early in the morning in a park talking to friends, he had accommodation at the time and was on his way to to work. he offered to show his payslips, and their response was we are not interested in that, we have quotas to meet. he was removed to his country of origin and when he tried to come back to regain his employment he was told that he couldn't enter the country. how many cases do you think there are? well, i know of 35 claims which have been brought by one of the law centres. i think the problem is finding people who were removed under the policy, because of course they are back in their country of origin, many people
7:15 am
are not traceable, but i would be surprised if there were not hundreds of people who are potentially entitled to compensation under the policy. the reaction from the public is likely to be twofold. they will be people saying here we go again, this is the home office with a fairly hardline immigration policy, rounding up people who are an easy touch but there will be people on the other side saying we have got oui’ the other side saying we have got our word problems, we have enough uk rough sleepers who we need to help, why should we be looking at the europeans who are sleeping rough in oui’ europeans who are sleeping rough in our country? well, i think everyone had can agree that homelessness is an issue that needs to be addressed, but this policy was doing that, and if the home spends public money on an unlawful policy and then has to spend more public money compensating people whose rights have been breached, that doesn't assist any people who are rough sleeping or any other social problems. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: here is stav with a look at this morning's weather. a better day today than yesterday.
7:16 am
lovely sunrise pictures coming in from the weather watchers morning. a glorious one here off the south coast. some rain on the forecasts which is across northern england and scotla nd which is across northern england and scotland and it will continue to clea n scotland and it will continue to clean northwards. for most places, it will be dry with sunny spells. here is the radar picture. you can see where the rain is. road conditions are pretty atrocious and you could see some thicker cloud fringing into the far south—east of england in towards kent and east anglia. the rain across scotland will clean northwards and become confined to the far north—east and the northern isles. lots of sunshine, plenty of the south including eastern areas. a bit of murcutt around but it should be much better than yesterday. ——a bit of
7:17 am
murk. a bit of cloud pushing to northern ireland. most places will be clear and chilli. —— chilly. high—pressure areas are merging and things will settle down nicely. there might be a few showers into east anglia and eastern england. they will fizzle as you move westwards. it shouldn't spoil too much for monday afternoon. some cloud getting into western northern ireland and the hebrides. highs of maybe up to 21 celsius. even warmer on tuesday. lots of sunshine up and down the country. the weather front that will move in the atlantic will
7:18 am
bring outbreaks of rain but it will be dying as it sinks south—east. it introduce cooler air which will already be into the hebrides on tuesday. ten or 11 degrees at best. east of scotland, the rest of england and wales will be fine and warm. temperatures may be up to 23 degrees. the weekend is looking pretty good and high pressure is keeping things settled. the cooler air across the north—west will move southward so a bit more chilly wednesday and thursday before it sta rts wednesday and thursday before it starts to warm up again. back in february we told you about an appeal for donations by the national trust, to repair one of the most popular mountain paths in wales. to repair one of the most popular with more than 350,000 visitors each year, the main route up pen y fan has become so popular, the path is wearing away. this week the trust announced it's bringing in a helicopter to help with repairs, as paul heaney reports. flying low across the brecon beacons. a helicopter on a mission.
7:19 am
there is a problem on one of the mountains. it has become a victim of its own success. visitor numbers on distant brute up pen y fan have doubled in five years. more than 350,000 walkers wearing to pass away. we have lost depth of soil and away. we have lost depth of soil and a stone. if it continues, we will probably lose about ten centimetres throughout the whole year. what would the end result be if you kept it how it was? it would be khalid, scarred, landscaped, we would lose the green rolling hills. getting building materials to repair it halfway up a mountain isn't easy. u nless halfway up a mountain isn't easy. unless you have one of these. cable and bucket attached, around one ton
7:20 am
of crushed rock is airlifted into position. each bucket gives about one metre off the path on a rout that spans 2000 metres. it doesn't go very far. it will only last us about five years. drop of complete. time to bring in the volunteers. the national trust says it is grateful ofa national trust says it is grateful of a £10,000 it has had towards this expensive worth. it hopes to raise another £20,000 in the coming months. you can see whether work needs to be done. a lot of people use it. it needs to be kept in good condition. it's quite surprising. you don't think about it, you take it granted. using helicopters to get it granted. using helicopters to get it up the mountain, it would be a long walk. up to 100 trips like this
7:21 am
are taking place each day to try to keep the erosion at bay. and keep the brecon beacons beautiful. and you can get a bird's eye view in 360 degree of the work being carried out. the video is on the bbc website — bbc.co.uk/wales you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. radio and television presenter beverly turner is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to her in a minute. first let's look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph has on the front—page story we have highlighted which has dozens of ministers are deserting to reason may over the issue of customs union. —— to reason may. —— to secretary. —— theresa

7:23 am
paparazzi photos turn out to have been agreed with his consent. he has worked with a british paparazzi agency. to we know this is actual fa ct? agency. to we know this is actual fact? blair it can't not be true because if you look at the way the pictures are staged. there are eyewitnesses. when he was sat in starbucks holding a book that was a british landmarks that he was reading. when you saw the picture a couple of weeks ago, it seemed stage. somebody at starbucks said they staged it together. he is notoriously reclusive has he been plagued by paparazzi photographers? that has got to be the suspicion. the suggestion is he has made £100,000 out of it. it sounds high. i would be surprised if they have
7:24 am
given him anything like that cut from these pictures. somebody has gone up to him with a british accent and persuaded him. i can imagine they have asked him. his daughter must not be happy. harry has a troubled relationship with them and he has publicly blamed them for his mother's death. there will be some important conversations going on. the newspaper editors don't like being told what to do and they were told to leave this guy alone. they have gone to town in the mail. six or seven pages.... alone. they have gone to town in the mail. six or seven pages. . .. we are getting to know a lot of the secrets. there was a lot of documents on after the fall of raqqa mac. —— raqqa. documents on after the fall of raqqa

somebody like jamie oliver? his recipes are full of fat and sugar. he would be the first to say it that thatis he would be the first to say it that that is ok because it is about moderation. the idea he has a chocolate milkshake on his website... it taps into class war, as well. it is divisive and pointless and we need to be behind people like jamie oliver. we need to do something. think you've. -- thank you. nick robinson is sitting in for the andrew marr programme on bbc one this morning at 9:00. in case you have lost count, it is 689 days since the eu referendum. it often feels like a lot longer than that and yet still the government
7:28 am

7:37 am
on the job in front of them. for a place in champions league, it's not in our hands. but we have to try. we have to try to get two points against newcastle, and then to hope — to hope something positive for us. and there is still one spot in the relegation zone to be confirmed today, too. swansea look likely to end their six—year spell in the top flight. they need to beat already—relegated stoke and hope for a southampton defeat to champions manchester city, with a ten—goal swing, too. southampton boss mark hughes is convinced his team can do it, but admits they might get distracted by goals from elsewhere. would we be adversely affected if certain news started to filter through? i'm not sure. we are all human. maybe. maybe so, if it was a situation that was running out of control. but my view is that we are in position to get the job done ourselves.
7:38 am
