without tessa there would have been known london 2012. there had been tributes from across the political spectrum, including from david blu nkett spectrum, including from david blunkett who said this morning she was there when people needed her and with her bravery over the last year she was always thinking of others. that speech that you saw in the house of lords, incredibly moving, and one that brought many of the people watching it to tears. that speech was amazing. we very rarely see a standing ovation, in fact it is frowned upon and the house of lords, and she was commended by her peers. she did bring people together. for speaking out about her diagnosis and about the issues surrounding treatment and diagnosis of brain tumours, she has achieved a huge amount of recognition. her family and the statement overnight said they had been incredibly moved and touched by the overwhelming response that she received for

speaking out from across the world it was something that many people saw as an incredibly brave thing to do. tom, thank you. we will keep you up—to—date with news on that throughout the morning. french police have launched a terror investigation after a man armed with a knife killed one person and injured four others in paris last night. so—called islamic state claimed responsibility for the attack, which happened on a busy street near to the city's main opera house. the man was shot dead by police. the authorities say he was born in chechnya, and his parents are now being questioned by french police. bill hayton reports. it should have been a pleasant night out in a popular part of paris. instead, a victim lies 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 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 was home secretary. the government says it's stopped all legal action. nine people have been killed by suicide bombers who've attacked three churches in indonesia's second city, surabaya. a0 other people have been injured.

the attacks occurred within ten minutes of each other. the authorities say they suspect they were carried out by a group inspired by so—called islamic state. the serial killer dennis nilsen has died in prison. he was 72. 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's the significance

of this letter? good morning. it is not often a grandson asks a grandmother for written consent to marry the one he loves, but this is all part of the royal wedding process. if you make need to take up the role of being monarch one day, then you need to ask the present monarch for permission. you have these illustrations on it, as well as the text of the dragon, because he is prince henry of wales. for her, a rose which is the flower of the united states, and to poppies for the state of california. it is all just days away now. let's hope it is a day like today. new skies today, we shall see. in the last half an hour, we learnt of the death of the former

labour cabinet minister dame tessa jowell. let's speak to the former downing street director of communications, alastair campbell. thank you very much for talking to us. first, sorry, you have lost a friend. so was an extraordinary event, not just to friend. so was an extraordinary event, notjust to me but to many people. i don't think there were many people who were kind in british politics. it is a very, very sad day. our thoughts are with you, her friends and her family. day. our thoughts are with you, her friends and herfamily. alistair campbell, we saw tessa jowell speak in the house of lords not long ago and you say she was a friend to many. the more remarkable reaction to her speech, very passionate, measured speech was a real example as to how people across the parties respected her. yes, i said this morning i don't think i can think of any other parliamentarian who would

get that sort of response in both houses of parliament while still alive. there was that debate in the house of lords, then the debates in the house of commons more recently whenjohn burkholder neared an incredibly moving tribute to tessa. she was just somebody who was absolutely adored by so many people. i think the reason for that was even in this horrible illness that she has had over the last 12 months, she has had over the last 12 months, she has been selfless about it. the reason she did that debate was to draw attention to the plight of people that don't have a platform that have brain cancer. her whole life has just been dedicated to other people. i think it is when you see people like tessa jowell, she really is the best of politics and the best of humanity and as tony blairsaid the best of humanity and as tony blair said this morning at the really aren't many like her. we

understand she suffered a haemorrhage on friday, had been in, until her death on saturday. there will be a small funeral in coming days and a memorial service open to all at a later date. alistair campbell, talking about being inspiring and being able to address people across all parties and being very well liked, she was a force of nature, as well, wasn't she? the chief executive of the brain tumour charity has said that she has been an extraordinary driving force for change, not only in that area but thinking back to the pageantjihad is helping to bring the olympics to london, for example. sebastian coe has said this morning that without tessa there would have been no london 2012 or it would not have been the success that it was. there was quite a lot of doubt about going for the big and she had to persuade tony, the treasury, the cabinet, and

then once she had done that we had to go all out to win it. yes, tony blairand to go all out to win it. yes, tony blair and the royals did their bit, but tessa absolutely drove it. from start to finish, even though we lost power, she was on the olympic board. she was a massive part of the lipid success and i think she showed that approached everything she did, whether it was sure start, the rule in public health when she frankly changed the lenten and how we think about the health service, focusing much more prevention than cure. i think she's not sure start was her greatest achievement and it is sad that it greatest achievement and it is sad thatitis greatest achievement and it is sad that it is being undone the way it is. everything she did, in the aftermath of 911, which was the focus on the united states, but also the biggest loss of british life. immediately we ask tessa to go to new york to look after the families

of those british citizens who have lost their lives and to make sure that everything was being done and my daughter said something last night, and she absolutely loved tessa, she was weeping all night, but she said through the tears she said that tessa is the only person i have ever met who he ever she was with was happy to be where they were at that moment. she just was an extraordinary human being. harriet harman has sent her condolences to the family and the spoken and she said dame tessa was no softy, she was clever and tough. this is a woman in parliament who made sure that she went for what she believed in and that she stuck by her principles as well. this is no mean feat in this day of politics. no, listen, she was tough. i mentioned the olympics. she had to be very, very tough to persuade the

government to do that. she had to be very top of times in her delivery, but you always did it with real charm and grace and with a real sense of humanity and decency. but she was tough. she could bite her corner very hard. harriet said in a statement that you just revert to, whenever there was a school or a hospital or a public body in the constituency that wasn't up to the mark, tessa would be there fighting and she thought for people. among the many, many people there will be paying tributes today, a lot of them will be from her constituency. she was an incredible constituency mp. i suppose lots of us lead busy lives, but you often wondered how tessa could back in the things she did during the day. also, i don't think ican during the day. also, i don't think i can remember her birthday of my children that tessa hasn't

remembered, or even me, and i don't give a remembered, or even me, and i don't givea dam remembered, or even me, and i don't give a dam about birthdays, but she was just one of those people. she thought about people all the time, was dedicated to them, motivated by them in everything she did. i think thatis them in everything she did. i think that is why so many people will be so sad today. alistair campbell, it is evident in what you're saying, that you are speaking of the great friend and someone you had immense fondness for. i will say it again to you, you have lost a good friend and it is not easy talking about someone like that on national television. we really appreciate your time. our condolences to you and to your family and to tessa jowell‘s family. ido want family and to tessa jowell‘s family. i do want to say one of the extraordinary things about the last stages of tessa's life has been the love between her and david. i saw in the bulletins, i will not blame him for this, but the coverage of when they broke up briefly during a

political crisis, but they were absolutely made for each other. it was an extraordinary marriage and david's care to the end has been inspirational. alistair campbell, thank you very much. lovely tribute there from alistair campbell. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you both. a cool star died there. a bit of mist and fog around. this is a picture from dorset, showing that low mist in the valleys. elsewhere, lots of sunshine around. that is how it will look today, apart from the north of the country. the overnight rain is slowly clearing its way northwards, soa grim slowly clearing its way northwards, so a grim start across the north—east of england and scotland, all banks to this weather front. it will continue to push its way

northwards. behind that this ridge of high pressure will build thin, settling things down for much of the country. there will be a little bit of cloud across the eastern side of the country, just a few showers in the country, just a few showers in the far south—east that will clear away. you can see the rain is being confined to the northern ireland is, vast improvement from scotland into the afternoon. maybe the odd shower for western parts of northern ireland, but most places will be dry, find the temperatures between 16 and 18 celsius. a fine into the day. the rain across the board these pushes onto shetland then clears away overnight, but it could just linger on for a while for parts of shetland. elsewhere dry night, cool night, some rural spots could see amateurs to low single digits. high pressure will be the dominant feature of weather next week. it will keep the weather systems at bay. this weather front is a dying

feature. it will move across the north sea into the east and south—east of england through monday morning. there could be the odd shower, but it will fizzle out into the afternoon and we should start to see some sunshine breaking out. a little bit of cloud in the far north—west of the country, but elsewhere sunny and dry with temperatures at 19 or 20 degrees. even warmerfor much temperatures at 19 or 20 degrees. even warmer for much of the country on tuesday, light winds, a sunny day but the south—east. this weather front will bring a change to the north—west of the country, bringing outbreaks of rain. eventually it will move south eastwards, this illinois as it does. it will introduce colour hair —— cooler air ahead of it. the high pressure will keep things fine unsettled for much of this week. it will be dry with light winds. it will start warm then things will cool down in the middle pa rt things will cool down in the middle part of the week because of the weather front moving in. temperatures will recover by the end of the week. a pretty good—looking

week coming up. thank you. 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. let's start with the tessa jowell. everybody found her very generous and warm. i met at the london marathon a couple of years before the olympic bid was assured. it is a lwa ys the olympic bid was assured. it is always stuck in my memory. some politicians are quite easy to forget, and she was very easy to remember. i remember she had real humanity and warmth and a lot of mps lose that. she didn't seem to lose that. a lovely lady. alistair campbell was saying across—the—boa rd people didn't have a bad word to say about her. and a working mum as a

politician. she probably never got the credit she deserved. let's talk about some of the other stories. you probably love and hate this story at the same time. this is about robert taking over from care workers to look after the elderly. it is the kind of story that makes me want to put my head in my hands and think i have had enough of this planet. it is a trial in partnership with the university of bedfordshire and one of the largest health care providers. i don't think there was an old person alive who would rather sit and chat to a robot then a human being. but doesn't this reflect that some of the lack of time available but those who are caring, i have spoken to someone who saidi caring, i have spoken to someone who said i spoke to my father and he had used his voice all day. that is not a criticism of the people you're trying to care for him, just that

there is of the time or resources. but we have to replace people with people rather than with robots. you think how much one of these robots must cost. they must cost hundreds of thousands to make and manufacture. just think of the number of nurses and care assistants we could employ but those sorts of figures. i think it is wrong of resources . figures. i think it is wrong of resources. the 12th ofjune is the key meeting between donald trump and kim jong—un. key meeting between donald trump and kim jong-un. things are moving. we heard a lot of rhetoric out of pure and you that kim jong heard a lot of rhetoric out of pure and you that kimjong un had agreed to the —— the new could arise. there we re to the —— the new could arise. there were a lot of people, a self included, who went, ok, we will see what happens. it is a revelation. the 23rd and 25th of may, journalists will be invited as north

korea destroyed its observation facilities, research buildings, security posts. we will get to see this happen. i love the fact this is depending on the weather! the big question is, will we see all of it, because we don't know what is their? the fact that they are inviting journalists in to see this happen, the biggest irony of this story is that donald trump, who we thought would probably start world war iii, he cute and averting it. diplomacy isa he cute and averting it. diplomacy is a word you normally associate with donald trump. but there is optimism from kim jong—un that his country will be rehabilitated with the relationship with america. it is great to see that there will let us see that happen. let's talk about the board games. all our children are on technology, and yet... yet,

this seems to be a resurgence in board games. there are cafes and bars opening. one in london has 800 board games. there will be a conference next month's with tens of thousands of enthusiasts arriving at the nec in birmingham at the largest hobby and games convention in the world. the argument is that this will take our kids and young people, and older people like us, our generation, far phones. does it make pa rents a re generation, far phones. does it make parents are done with their children christopher would guess, chewed. board games in our house normally fall into mass of arguments. what do you worst at? monopoly. i like the bankrupt my children. they need to harden up! cranium is my because you get the variety. i don't think any of us saw this coming, some of the technology games that use on their

phones are being translated into a board game version. if that gets made some of something like fortnight, but he is addicted to, would be great news. top nightclubs swapping craving for meditation. would be great news. top nightclubs swapping craving for meditationm isa swapping craving for meditationm is a generational interest in this, altogether this against you had. fabric is a nightclub in clerke nwell, fabric is a nightclub in clerkenwell, very famous in the 19905 clerkenwell, very famous in the 1990s and to thousands more people getting together, listening to loud music, taking drugs. is this big snowflake? yes, it is. more than a thousand people will be there on tuesday night to meditate in silence. that is how the millennial is enjoyed themselves. this is being hosted by wilf williams. he has a booklet called effortless mind. howard from take that said he

originally dismissed the wholejost that burning thing is rubbish, but he says night he has found it makes a more creative about drugs. he has just turned 50, if that doesn't make you feel old! take that should never be 50! thank you. coming up in the next half hour: plastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. plastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. blue planet 2 was the most watched tv programme last year, and its expected to pick up honours at tonights bafta awards. we'll take you through all the contenders. stay with us, the headlines are coming up. hello, this is breakfast with christian fraser and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the former labour cabinet minister dame tessa jowell has died aged 70, her family has announced. she had been suffering from brain cancer, and since her diagnosis for better

treatments for fellow sufferers. ladyjowell had been a prominent figure in the government of tony blair, and a driving force behind london's successful bid to host the olympics in 2012. in the last few minutes, alastair campbell, the former labour director of communications told us he'd lost a colleague and a friend. tessa was an absolutely extraordinary friend notjust tessa was an absolutely extraordinary friend not just to tessa was an absolutely extraordinary friend notjust to me did —— but too many people. i don't think there was anybody who was more loved and who was kind in british politics. it's a very, very sad day. she was just somebody who was absolutely adored by so many people. i think the reason for that was because, even in this horrible illness that she has had over the last 12 months, she has been absolutely last 12 months, she has been a bsolutely selfless last 12 months, she has been absolutely selfless about it. the reason she did that debate was to draw attention to the plight of

people that don't have a platform who have brain cancer. and her whole life has just been dedicated to other people. i think it's when you see people like tessa jowell, she really is the best of politics, the best of humanity. and as tony blair said this morning, there really aren't many like her. alastair campbell. french police have launched a terror investigation after a man armed with a knife killed one person and injured four others in paris last night. so—called islamic state claimed responsibility for the attack. the attacker was shot dead by police. the authorities say he was born in chechnya, and his parents are now being questioned by french police. 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,

he is the first british—born individual to top the list in 15 years. those are the main stories this morning. football coming to an end. yes. i have —— i said earlier it was the end of the football season and it should be celebrated. my point was as much as i love football, you love —— i love the summer because you get a chance to talk about athletics, tennis, rowing, and all the other sport that gets pushed down the running order. i'm not saying it is the end of the football season. the stick i am getting is for the suggestion that i am sick of talking about it. i am a little bit sick of talking about it. but these are the exciting times in football. the start of the season where you are watching a match that

further down the line won't mean anything, these are the things, the champions league, the play—offs, the fa cup final. chelsea need a win at newcastle, and also hope that liverpool lose at home to brighton. chelsea's manager antonio conte says his side need to focus on the job in front of them. it is not in our hands. but we have to try to get three points. and then to try to get three points. and then to hope brighton do something positive. and there's still one spot in the relegation zone to be confirmed today too. swansea look likely to end their six years 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're all human. maybe so. if it was a situation within our control. we are ina situation within our control. we are in a position to get the job done ourselves. we just need a good, solid, professional performance. away from the premier league, we're into play—offs in the football league, as teams battle it out for those final promotion spots. looking to get back into the premier league, aston villa take a slim advantage in their semi—final with middlesbrough. milejedinak scored the only goal of the first leg at the riverside, to give them a lead going into tuesday's second leg. there was some late drama in the league one play—off semi—final first leg between scunthorpe and rotherham. cameron mcgeehan scrambled home a late equaliser for scu nthorpe as they salvaged a 2—2 draw. in league two, coventry got a controversial last minute penalty to snatch a draw in theirfirst leg against notts county. county players protesting the decision. marc mcnulty stepped up to get

this again. what are you watching this afternoon? burnley against bournemouth. full house. sell—out. it was a night filled with drama at the eurovision final in lisbon after a man invaded the stage during the uk's performance. i thought that was pretty brave. she came “— i thought that was pretty brave. she came —— higuain running on, she didn't know who he was. he grabbed the microphone from surie before being dragged off and arrested. but 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. thank you so much for accepting differences between us. thank you for celebrating diversity. chickens and waving cat does it every time. joining us is eurovision superfan willow regan. shall we get this plonker out of the way first? this field ran onto the stage. he has got form. he has. he did the national television awards in 2017. he rushed the stage of the voice uk. this guy managed to get himself onto the stage in lisbon and remove the microphone from surie's hand. delivered a message. she was visibly shaken. she got the microphone back. about a 15 second gap. she ploughed on. the cheer was the loudest i have

heard. were you surprised the women hosting did not make any reference to it? i really was. it happened in the past. something similar happened in spain in 2010. they referenced it and performed again. perhaps because the uk delegation decided, that it for us, she has decided she will not go again, it was not referenced. i even thought the executive supervisor of the contest may have said, we did have an issue during the united kingdom, but it was decided not to do it. i was surprised. maybe she should have done it. what about the winner? netta wasn't my favourite. favoureds don't always win eurovision. she was something different. absolutely. bright, a good message. there is a once to it. remind us of the message in the song? it is called toy and it is about female empowerment. in the

metoo vein. the whole things about being who you are, been proud, being happy, being strong, being independent. it is an anthem but it is not a classic eurovision winner from me. jaw-dropping moment of the night, a metal moment. it was something else. they did. it was so loud. it really was. some years something like that always gets through. georgia had an entry that was very loud few years ago. that did really well. hungary do so well. they were towards the bottom. we we re they were towards the bottom. we were 24th. you liked thejustin timberlake one? idid. i timberlake one? i did. i like the cyprus. yeah, she brought the fire. she was my favourite to win in terms of a

eurovision is. look at that hair flicking. it's incredible. it wasn't to be. they had their best result ever. cyprus will be happy. why doesn't a big british vandersay, we have had enough of this, we keep finishing near the bottom, let's do something? —— why doesn't a big british band say. the issue is the perception of the contest. i loved terry wogan but over the years he took everybody on a journey, look at this, johnny foreigner, the eurovision is a big old joke. it has given the uk this kind of feeling that the song contest is irrelevant. it is just that the song contest is irrelevant. it isjust a that the song contest is irrelevant. it is just a way to have a laugh. therefore, the industry here doesn't need eurovision and therefore they would never put themselves on that platform, because if they didn't do well and a chicken song wins and they don't, that is damaging to their career. i miss their career. imiss sir their career. i miss sir terry. we all miss him. but we love graham norton.

we all miss him. but we love graham nortonm we all miss him. but we love graham norton. it is never going to go away, eurovision? eurovision will be there forever. we will be long gone and eurovision will be long gone and eurovision will still be there. long may it continue. you were partying last night. you got up early. we appreciate it. you're very welcome. not sure if starve was watching eurovision? i was, you know. starve was watching eurovision? iwas, you know. i starve was watching eurovision? i was, you know. i was going to get an afternoon nap and stay up and watch it. i did crash out. i was quite interested in hearing the news this morning. this morning it is a lovely bright start. there is a lot of sunshine. a bit of mist and fog. that would clear within the next hour. those blue skies are really taking over. not completely dry everywhere. some rain in the forecast. it is in the north of england. that would tear away northwards. we should see plenty of sunshine. here is weatherfront. plaguing the eastern side yesterday

afternoon and overnight. gradually curing. scotland will have a better afternoon with more sunshine. here it is around nine, ten o'clock, mainly across central, north—eastern areas. slowly clearing away. sunny skies in the south will filter the way northwards. a better day for the eastern side of england after any earlier rain clears from the fire south—east. a glorious afternoon for most. 16 to 19 celsius. the rain across the far north—east of scotla nd across the far north—east of scotland will move north, becoming confined to orkney and shetland. then shetland alone later in the night. the bottom end of the weather front were pitted black into the eastern side of the country overnight. a bit of clyde for western northern ireland overnight. elsewhere, dry and clear. cool in rural places. into next week, high pressure is the theme. it will build in on monday, joining forces with this other one across scandinavia,

week and into the weekend. just me now. christian has gone off to read the news for the andrew marr show. we have heard the very sad news that then chest —— dame tessa jowell has died at the age of 70. she campaigned for more cancer treatments to be made available through the nhs. we can speak to sarah lindsell from the brain tumour charity sarah, first of all, i know you worked very closely with dame tessa jowell and i am very sorry you have lost a friend and someone you have become very close to. thank you for talking to us this morning. we spoke to alastair campbell earlier, former director of communications for the labour party. one of the things that came out was when you spoke about

tessa jowell, everyone liked her, it didn't matter what your politics were. they were impressed by her energy and she was like? that is so true. we have had that experience at the brain tumour charity as well. you can't help but be infected by her desire, harry hope and her want to change things. even though she was experiencing a real challenge in her disease, she still wanted to do something for other people in that time. you have worked with her, i have seen your statement today, you said her passion and support for more flexible clinical trials for brain tumour patients and for global data sharing to improve understanding of the disease will have a real and lasting impact in our quest for a cure. what was she working on? what we she keen to make sure happened? what dame tessa was interested in was sharing patient data. that is going to make a change

going forward. there is no way we can find going forward. there is no way we canfind a going forward. there is no way we can find a cure for this neglected disease. we don't understand enough about it. tessa herself consented and pledged to share her data with was at the charity, so we can actually understand, as are hundreds and thousands of other people, if we prove that data globally we can move towards a cu re prove that data globally we can move towards a cure and better treatment. the second thing she was really interested in was how clinical trials are working. if you are a brain cancer patient, and your life and your prognosis is perhaps worse than other cancer types, the regular way we run clinical trials does not work. if we put patients first, we should be designing different types of clinical trials. again, that is what she has helped us do. to develop an adaptive clinical trial. what was she like in terms of energy? she was obviously very ill. we saw pictures of her standing in the house of lord and getting

applause, which is such a rare occurrence. she was tireless. she has been described as strong and tough? without doubt. you don't want tough? without doubt. you don't want to mess with tessa, do you?! right until the very last moment, a huge amount of energy and passion to create change and to make things better. we saw that very much. it is true about her family as well. thank you so much for talking to us. chief executive of the brain tumour charity. i'm very sorry for your loss. you have lost a friend as well. thank you. tributes have been pouring in. theresa may has stated, the dignity and courage with which dame tessa jowell confronted her illness was humbling and inspirational. my sympathies to her loving family. dame tessa's campaigning on bring

cancer research wales a lasting tribute to a lifetime of public service. former prime minister tony blairsaid... the leader of the labour party, jeremy corbyn, has said, "it is devastating to hear the news of tessa's death. from cancer cabinet minister, herachievements tessa's death. from cancer cabinet minister, her achievements were huge, including helping to the olympics to london, and her strength in raising awareness of her illness and fighting for better treatment for others inspired all." from blue planet 2 to line of duty, and from saturday night takeaway to the crown, the best in british television will be celebrated at tonight's bafta awards. but as our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports, one familiar face will be missing from tonight's ceremony. you have a record of excluding women

from positions of authority, and what better way than to conduct witchhunts against senior female officers? this won't wash. the fourth series of police corruption drama line of duty leads with four nominations, including best actress, best supporting actor and best drama series. we are delighted by the response to the show. it's great there is such great viewer loyalty and people seem compelled to watch it. you look nice. dol? you look nice. do i? the crown isjust behind you look nice. do i? the crown is just behind with three nominations, including best actress for claire foy. also with three for black mirror, which examines everything from mothering dating —— modern dating to the dark

side of sci—fi obsession. dating —— modern dating to the dark side of sci-fi obsession. you have, but just the right time. why does everything have to be so miserable? three nominations as well for three girls, the tv adaptation of the rochdale six scandal. —— sex. a month after his drink—driving conviction, ant mcpartlin will not be at the ceremony. but on—screen partner declan donnelly will, as the pair feature partner declan donnelly will, as the pairfeature in partner declan donnelly will, as the pair feature in two denominations, the best entertainment show with saturday night takeaway and britain's got talent. since its invention some 100 years ago, plastic has become an integral part of our daily lives. 2017's most watched programme, blue planet 2, is nominated in the specialist category. and after‘s most

prestigious honour will be given to bbc journalist kate prestigious honour will be given to bbcjournalist kate adie. joining us now is morgan jeffrey, tv editor for the entertainment news website digital spy. good morning. what are you expecting today? who will be the standouts? with any awards ceremony, we are a lwa ys with any awards ceremony, we are always thinking, will it be straightforward, willoughby upsets? the category of best drama series will be particularly interesting because we have line of duty nominated, peaky because we have line of duty nominated, pea ky blinders because we have line of duty nominated, peaky blinders and the crown. all of these are very big. but then there is a rogue outlier, the end of the world. we are not mentioning its correct title because it has a rude word in it. it does. it is about two teenagers who go on a dark and disturbing road trip. that is a show that is dark and moody but also very funny, very sharp. that could be a rogue outlier and swoop in and take the laughter

from under the others. bbc drama with many nominations. the whole netflix, amazon dominance, there is an emergence at least, isn't there? absolutely. it has taken a while for the streaming services to rival traditional broadcasters. as we see now, netflix, pomazun —— amazon, it is no longerjust the traditional broadcasters that are dominating. gradually shows like black mirror and the crown and the end of the world, co—produced by netflix and channel 4, they are starting to be considered alongside bbc and itv and channel 4. the way we are watching television is changing? absolutely. i don't think people make the distinction between what is a streaming service and what is a

traditional broadcaster. peoplejust watch what they watch on television, whether it is on a tablet. really, the goalposts have moved and everything has even up. saturday night takeaway, ant and dec, ant mcpartlin with personal problems. as a duo they are still very well—regarded and very fondly looked upon, as if the programme? absolutely. it is tricky, of course. but i think there is still an awful lot of good will towards saturday night takeaway in particular. people love that show. it has won laughter in the past. ant mcpartlin will not be at the bath does. declan will be attending solo. were he to take to the stage solo if they won the award, it could be an emotional and poignant moment. we have to wait and see. thank you. the baftas ceremony is on bbc one tonight at 8pm. i'm just going to recap some news we

have had in the last hour. very sad news that dame tessa jowell, former labour cabinet minister, has died at the age of 70. she had a brain tumour. we understand that she had a haemorrhage on friday night and died on saturday evening. tributes have been coming through. the prime minister, theresa may, has said the dignity and courage with which she confronted her illness was humbling and it was inspirational. former prime minister tony blair has said that she was the most wise of councillors, the most loyal and supportive of colleagues, and the best of friends. there will be more coverage and reaction to this on the bbc news channel now. thank you forjoining us. have a good day. this is bbc news. the headlines at 9.00am: dame tessa jowell has died at the age 70. the former labour cabinet minister was diagnosed with a brain tumour last may. what gives a life meaning is not

only how it is left, but how it draws to a close. i hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients like me. one person has been killed and four others wounded in a knife attack in paris — authorities say they are treating the incident as a terror attack. serial killer dennis nilsen has died in prison — he had been serving a life sentence following his conviction in 1983. also in the next hour: israel lifts the trophy at this year's eurovision song contest.
