hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the doctors and nurses who treated sergei and yulia skripal have spoken for the first time about their treatment. they say they didn't expect the former russian spy and his daughter to survive the nerve agent attack. we would try all our therapies, we would ensure the best clinical care. but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. good morning, it's tuesday, 29th may. also this morning... the obesity crisis in the classroom. 22,000 children leave primary school dangerously overweight. a £15 billion boost to the economy from drones. i'm looking at how new flying technology could help boost growth over the next decade. in sport, anti—gun campaigners criticise england forward

international experts, which very fortunately happened to be on our doorstep, that is important. you can see more from that exclusive newsnight interview with the staff at salisbury hospital in about 15 minutes. one in 25 primary school children in england aged between ten and 11 is severely obese. the local government association has analysed data released by public health england earlier this year. it says child obesity is contributing to a "multi—billion pound, ill—health time bomb". the weight and height of children in reception, age four to five, and in year six, when they are 10—11, is measured each year in primary schools across england. for children in reception, nearly 15,000 or one in a0 is classed as severely obese. that rises to more than 22,000 or one in 25 for children aged 10—11. each year, more children are leaving primary school overweight but this

is the first time the national child measurement programme data has included these severely obese category. we are, in the uk, already the most obese nation in western europe. and we have to tackle the youngsters, we have to tackle this at an early stage if we are to make real progress in improving our nation. the local government association said the figures were a worrying wake—up call and warns that today's obese children risked having their years of healthy adult life cut short by a host of health problems, including type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease. talks between us and north korean officials continue as both sides finalise plans for a possible meeting between president donald trump and the north's leader kim jong—un. the summit on 12thjune was thrown into uncertainty last week after mr trump said he would no

with authorities to take action on gang—related content. drill music like this is accused not only of glamorising violence but of contributing to real crime. this video was used in evidence in a recent murder trial. hundreds of tracks are available on social media. some have been viewed over a million times. they often feature put and masked gangs making violent hand gestures. the met police commissioner, cressida dick, said the videos were used by real gangs to taunt each other and have been linked to at least one attack. she called on internet companies to show social responsibility. scotland yard has asked youtube to take down between 50—60 videos it believes raise the risk of violence. the company said it had removed more than 30 clips which were found to be in violation of its policies or broke the law. youtube, which is owned by google,

outcome for those children, which is why we are announcing this money, the £50 million, and we are continuing to work with local authorities, with schools and all the parents... and care reforms to make sure we do the right thing for those children. the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich, has claimed israeli citizenship. the russian billionaire flew to tel aviv to be given an identity card under the law of return, which allowsjews to become citizens of israel. he's recently had problems extending his british visa, but holders of israeli passports are allowed to enter the uk without a visa. thousands of spectators have been treated to the annual cheese rolling competition in gloucestershire. have you been? yes. but i haven't competed in the event. that isn't

what i expected! the event sees a 8lb cheese, a double gloucester, chased for 200 metres down the steep hill. 0r or you just tumble after it. chris anderson came from behind to win. he's come top 22 times in the competition's history. however he won't be eating his prize, as he only likes cheddar. it isa it is a very, very dangerous sport. you can see it from that shot, it is shockingly steep to the point you can't walk. it is very dangerous. they do it every year. it was banned for a bit as well. i would hate to see the health and safety sheet. i think it is currently and but they still do it anyway. it seems like a lot of effort to go for a slice of cheese. it isn't a slice, and it is about the kudos. i will do it next year. really? absolutely no chance. raheem sterling, he showed an image

on his leg. there is criticism of him, should he be sharing it with 3 million followers on instagram, he has had 100,000 likes. he says it has had 100,000 likes. he says it has a deeper meaning, though. yes, because his dad was shot dead when he was two years old and he explains the reason behind that but he says it isa the reason behind that but he says it is a reminder of what happened to his dad. it is an assault rifle. yes, it is an ak—47. a lot of anti—gun campaigners are angry about it. this is what he had to say about this image. being he uses his right foot to shoot goals. it is a reminder of his

dad and what happened. you can see both sides of the argument. if your son or daughter had been shot dead ina gun son or daughter had been shot dead in a gun attack, you'd be pretty angry about that but on the flip side, he is a young guy and i glibly can have what he wants. and there is context to everything. absolutely. michael vaughan says england should consider dropping fast—bowlers stuart broad and james anderson for the second test against pakistan later this week. the former england captain says the current test side has lost too many games and needs a change of mentality. coventry city are on the way up for the first time in half a century. they sealed promotion to league one with a 3—1win over exeter in the playoff final at wembley, their first promotion from any division in 51 years. cameron norrie and heather watson are into the second round of the french open. watson beat 0ceane dodin of france in straight sets, whilst fellow brit norrie went through after his opponent withdrew through injury. british number one kyle edmund's in action later today. it is those three that are flying the flag for britain. ehand konta

amount of time. the lightning strikes have been phenomenal as well. today what we have is a mixture, starting off with a lot of cloud, mist and fog, brightening up and a lot of sunshine to scotland and a lot of sunshine to scotland and northern ireland and north—west england but in the south there is the risk of some thundery showers which could prove to be disruptive. they are hit and miss and you might not see them at all. high pressure is dominating our weather. just a gentle breeze and it is this system coming up from the continent producing the showers. we have a pew currently but we will see a few more developed through the day. the cloud we have pushes back to the east coast so for scotland and northern ireland you have a dry and sunny day ahead of you. look at all this cloud across england and also wales. visibility in some parts is down to zero, some parts 100 metres. through the day, slowly, this cloud burns away or pushes back to the east

coast, at the same time we see these thundery showers to develop. we expect them across the south, one or two in the east midlands and east anglia but they are not widespread and they are fairly hit and miss. temperature wise, for many of us, we are looking at the mid—teens to high 20s, but somewhere in scotland, we could hit 25—26. yesterday both scotla nd could hit 25—26. yesterday both scotland and northern ireland had the warmest day of the year so far. to get the warmest day in the uk, we would have to reach 29.1 which is not on the cards at the moment. 0vernight, we start to see the cloud coming back in from the north sea, spreading across much of the uk, further showers coming in as well, some of those could be heavy and sundry but we are looking at clear skies across northern ireland, western scotland and north—west england. it isn't going to be a cold night, quite a keynote as we pushed

down towards the south. heading through wednesday, you are more likely to see some showers during the course of wednesday in england and also wales. they are travelling from the south—east towards the north—west so we are more likely to see them tomorrow around cheshire, the north midlands, in three northern england and also potentially the northern isles as well. away from those errors it is scotla nd well. away from those errors it is scotland and northern ireland again seeing the lion's share of the fine and dry weather and also, despite the chart, the highest temperatures will stop we could be looking at 2115 in the west. by the time we get to thursday, we have all this cloud across us. thursday, we have all this cloud across us. through the day, some bright spells develop at a plethora of thunderstorms again coming in from the south and again we could see some of those showers in the northern isles. so, still an awful lot to play with here, still a lot of thunderstorms in the forecast. they are beautiful to look at but as

we sure those pictures in birmingham, people struggling as well. thank you very much! everyone is back on the sofa. let's take a look at today's papers. it makes me want to sit up when you are on the sofa. not much legroom! all of us have long legs. all three of us. can we do the papers now?,, big man! the main story on the guardian, the wealth of oxford and cambridge university. they are saying the wealthy universities, £21 billion combined. the picture here is of this extraordinary man, spiderman in france, this refugee who is now been granted french citizenship, scaled the side of a building. incredible pictures! for anyone who hasn't seen

it, it was a four—year—old baby, a toddler, hanging from the railings. he literally jumps up toddler, hanging from the railings. he literallyjumps up for flaws. absolutely fantastic. daily telegraph looking at the nhs at 70. nhs is guilty of ridiculous waste of resources . nhs is guilty of ridiculous waste of resources. that is what the papers say. one medic once doctors to do more when beds blocked. this is christine abbots was found dead in her bed in herflat in christine abbots was found dead in her bed in her flat in crawley after she failed to turn up to a birthday party. a man has been arrested and charged with her murder. front page of the daily mail. this is about the youngsters who are severely obese. we know the proportion of obese is 30% of our children as they leave

school are rabies. these are the ones who are severely obese, one in 25 and all. the times, taking a look at the cheese rolling in gloucester and the quy cheese rolling in gloucester and the guy who won for the 22nd time. the un you of sex for food scandal at top charities, a leaked report highlights decades of failures. and roman abramowitz getting into the uk, after getting an israel passport. the front page of the sun... yes, you'll see that picture again which we showed you a few moments ago. i will bring out some of the reaction as well from inside where we we re reaction as well from inside where we were talking about the criticism from anti—gun campaigners and i'll read you some of the points made. lucy cope, head of mothers against guns, says it is sickening and called for the 23—year—old striker to be dropped from england's world cup squad unless he gets rid of the ta rtu. cup squad unless he gets rid of the tartu. she says he should hang his head in shame and it is

unacceptable. surely that is going too far to suggest he shouldn't play at the world cup because of the ta rtu. that isn't going to happen, but it is tricky. and it is very, very... without stating the obvious, it is very easy to see. it is going to be visible a lot. it is worth pointing out... phase say his sick new tattoo. the tabloids go after him a bit, they criticised him for buying a house for as mum criticised him for buying a house foras mum in criticised him for buying a house for as mum in the past, it is co nsta ntly for as mum in the past, it is constantly churning up stories about him. and it is the run—up to the world cup. what happened to very long football socks? it should cover the tattoo. he is in training, he's wearing training socks. i have a very tech theme in the

business. a mixed bag. this one talking about whether technology can be used to help our traffic problems and it says you can have a flexible pavement so the guides tell you whether the payment will be used by cyclists, vehicles or pedestrians, so cyclists, vehicles or pedestrians, so it is a new concept, one company has been awarded some money to come up has been awarded some money to come up with a way of easing congestion on the streets and this could be one of them. essentially, the kerber is a bit of tarmac but the lights will determine whether it is bigger for pedestrians, cyclists... that to me is going to be chaos. open-minded to new ideas! in about half an hour we will talk about the use of drones in the uk. a great toy for many people, increasing used in business and new research says £40 billion it could be worth to the economy over the next tenure so we will talk about that. there is a great story in the telegraph about artificial intelligence and one firm has come

up intelligence and one firm has come up with these three robots that will perhaps be seen on farms around the country. they called them tom, dick and harry. it is the increasing use of ai, so rather than telling them where to go, they will work it out. they do all sorts of things. this one is cutting the wheat. the other is fertilising, and checking the soil so making sure it has the right things in it. what if the gate is shut? that is when human intervention may need to come into the fore bombs are so need to come into the fore bombs are so big these days. you can't really leave the gates open. i find robots with long legs scary. we will just leave that thought there. gentlemen, thank you for much. the weather a little later on for you with carol. a doctor who treated the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia has told the bbc that he believed the pair would not be able to survive when he first saw them.

newsnight‘s mark urban has spoken exclusively to staff at salisbury district hospital about the extraordinary situation they faced when the skripals were rushed into their care after being found unconscious from the effects of the military nerve agent novichok. it's just before 5pm on the 4th of march. we were just told that there was two patients down in the emergency department, who were critically unwell, and they would be coming up to the unit. it was very quickly established that the victims were yulia skripal and herfather, one—time russian spy, sergei, and that the police regarded it as suspicious. i made the phone call and i spoke to the nurse in charge who had been on that night, and it was a conversation that i really could never have imagined in my wildest imagination having with anyone. at first, a opioid overdose was suspected. but as the skripals fought for their lives, the diagnosis

changed to nerve agent poisoning. when we first were aware this was a nerve agent... we were expecting them not to survive. we would try all our therapies, we would ensure the best clinical care. but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. when a policeman also fell ill, hospital staff started to wonder whether they, too, might be in danger. i suppose a key marker for me was when the pc was admitted with symptoms, there was a real concern as to... how big could this get? at first, it was simply a matter of keeping the skripals alive, heavily sedated. both of them were given big doses of drugs to protect them from the effects of the poison and help restart their bodies‘ production of a key enzyme. and the human factor was vital, too. excellent teamwork by the doctors,

fantastic care and dedication by our nurses and i guess supported and supplemented a great deal by some input from really, really well—informed international experts, which very fortunately happened to be on our doorstep. that is important now. that laboratory internationally known for its chemical weapons expertise processed tests and offered advice on the best therapies. yulia was discharged in april and last week made a statement thanking the hospital. but it took several more weeks before sergei skripal could follow her out of salisbury district. he spent his whole stay in a room in the intensive care ward because that's where police wanted to secure him. they'd been brought back from the brink of death but questions remain about the longer term. we have a total world experience of treating three patients for the effects of novichok poisoning. and i think it's safe to say

that we are still learning. in salisbury district hospital, the formal review of the skripal affair is onlyjust starting but for those involved it was a remarkable episode, crowned with success. you can see more of those interviews with the staff at salisbury district hospital on newsnight tonight, at 10:30pm on bbc two. it was the moment millions of fans had been waiting for, and 100,000 had even petitioned for. peter kay's car share returned to our screens for its final outing. we'll be finding out ifjohn and kayleigh finally got their happy ending later in the programme. if you haven't seen it yet, be warned, there are spoilers coming up. let's have a quick look at the last ever episode. where are you going?!

there she goes again! christ, what have i done now? get back in the car! what's she doing? the lights are on green! oh, for god's... get back in the car. what have you done?! we've had a bump. what were you doing?! there was a little hedgehog in the road, did you not see it?! where are you going? where am i going? you can'tjust drive off! that could have been us. did you get his reg?

i haven't seen that before, that is really funny. so, do they, don't they? that is the question. they we re they? that is the question. they were not happy with the don't they befall. how many people have done that thing, trying to rescue an animal when you really shouldn't? is just ridiculous. everybody does it sometimes. that's my thought. we can't just say we don't want to help animals. yes, you're right. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. the number of reports of vulnerable people going missing from care in london is increasing at "an alarmingly high rate", according to a charity. the bbc has obtained data which shows the met handled nearly 17,000 cases in 2017. up 34% since 2013. this includes children as well as and adults disappearing

from nursing and residential homes. youtube has removed 30 music videos over concerns they incite violence. it follows a request from the met which has identified the drill genre of rap music as often glamorising violent crime, and fuelling a surge in murders in london. this video was used as evidence in a recent murder trial. it's thought the average loan from parents to help children buy homes in london is now more than £30,000. that's according to the centre for economics and business research. it says that the money leant by parents across the country makes the so called "bank of mum and dad" equivalent to a near £6 billion mortgage lender. a planning row between the singer robbie williams and his neighbour, the former led zeppelin guitarist jimmy page, will be heard by officials in kensington and chelsea later today. mr williams wants to build a basement with a gym and a 30ft swimming pool underneath the garden of his grade ii—listed home in west london. but mr page who lives next door has told the council the proposed work would be "catastrophic."

let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes — the northern line is part because of over running engineering works. 0n the railway — thameslink are reporting some cancellations a knock on from the new timetable so check before you travel. 0n the m25 the exit road atjunction 1b is shut because of a gas leak in the area. the a225 that runs alongside the m25 is closed shut northbound as a result and the princes road interchange is partly shut. in clapham the traffic lights on wandsworth road as a result and the princes road interchange is partly shut. in clapham the traffic lights on wandsworth road at lambourn road aren't working, following an accident on sunday. let's have a check on the weather. good morning it was another very warm bank holiday monday followed by warm, humid, sticky night last night so we warm, humid, sticky night last night so we wake up this morning to a great picture with a lot of cloud, mist and murky as well with the risk

of more thundery showers. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for these showers working their way up from parts of the continent so we will see this afternoon the cloud breaking, still afternoon the cloud breaking, still a shower risk are still some sunshine bursting through, temperatures not as warm as yesterday. 0vernight, that low cloud, mist and potentialfog moving backin cloud, mist and potentialfog moving back in across as with the risk of some heavy, thundery showers developing. another warm, sticky night with the minimum 12—14. that shower risk continues through wednesday and thursday. the risk of thunder the whole time as well. thursday afternoon trying out with a bit more sunshine towards the end of the week and into the weekend with temperatures getting up to 23—24. i'm back with the latest to 23—24. from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello.

this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. medical staff who treated sergei and yulia skripal after they were poisoned in salisbury have told the bbc they didn't expect them to survive. they also revealed that at first, they were unaware the former russian spy and his daughter were the victims of nerve agent poisoning. 0ne doctor described the situation as beyond his wildest imagination. excellent teamwork by the doctors. fantastic care and dedication by our nurses. and i guess supported and supplemented a great deal by some input from really, really well informed international experts which, very fortunately, some of whom happened to be on our doorstep at porton down. one in 25 primary school children in england aged between ten and 11 is severely obese — the most overweight on the scale. the local government association has analysed data released by public health england earlier this year. it says child obesity

is contributing to a "multi—billion—pound ill—health time bomb". the department of health says the sugar tax is funding schools sports programmes and breakfasts for the poorest children, and the government is investing in further research. the man asked to become italy's prime minister is trying to put together a government, as the country's political crisis continues. carlo cotarelli is a former director at the international monetary fund and was asked to take up the position until new elections can be held. however, the two main parties have promised to block anything he submits and have called for peaceful protests. youtube has deleted more than 30 videos which police say are responsible for inciting a surge in violent crime across london. it comes after the metropolitan police commissioner, cressida dick, outlined so—called ‘drill music‘ as a weapon being used by gangs to taunt each other on social media. youtube said it was working with authorities to take action on gang—related content. talks between us and north korean officials continue, as both sides finalise plans for a possible meeting

between president donald trump and the north's leader, kimjong—un. the summit — on 12thjune — was thrown into uncertainty last week after mr trump called off the meeting, citing the north's "hostility". both sides have since been working to get it back on track. starbucks is closing all 8,000 of its coffee shops in the united states today, to teach staff how to avoid discriminating against customers. the training follows the wrongful arrest of two black men in a branch in philadelphia last month. 175,000 employees will spend four hours learning about unconscious bias and racism in public places. local authorities in england are to be given additional money by the government to help create 740 more school places for children with special educational needs. the extra £50 million will also be used to provide new facilities to support children with complex needs, such as sensory rooms and playgrounds with specialist equipment. the minister for children and families, nadhim zahawi, says each council will

receive up to £225,000. it's about improving the quality of outcomes for those children, which is why we're announcing this money, the 50 million. and, of course, we're continuing to work with local authorities, with schools, with all the parents and carers forums, to make sure that we do the right thing for those children. the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich, has claimed israeli citizenship. the russian billionaire flew to tel aviv to be given an identity card under the law of return — which allowsjews to become citizens of israel. he's recently had problems extending his british visa, but holders of israeli passports are allowed to enter the uk without a visa. have you heard of an event called ‘slacklining'? no idea. you are going to find out now.

have you done it? no, not today! will we see the pictures? it involves walking in high—heels, while walking between two points along a suspended line of webbing — at 1,300 metres in the air, with nothing to help with their balance. this competition was held in central china. this is mimi, who won the competition in a time of nine minutes and 24 seconds. the time does not seem very releva nt, the time does not seem very relevant, really. i have seen a bit of this video before. the bit i saw, you did not see the actual he'll go on the ropes so see the actual he'll go on the ropes so it was almost like you could have said it was flat shoes with the heal hanging off the rope. but she puts the heal on the webbing. does it help? would it not kind of keep you wanna bet? it is hard enough to walk in heels

are normal flat ground. clearly pa rt are normal flat ground. clearly part of the rules as they have to be dressed up. they are wearing dresses. dressed up for a night out. 0therwise, wearing dresses. dressed up for a night out. otherwise, they would be wearing... i have got an idea, i know what i'm going to try today! really? what on earth made you do that?! something for you to talk about this morning. yes, not apparent high heels but a tattoo. legs are involved. this is it, a machine gun on his right leg. raheem sterling. he revealed this on an instagram post yesterday. and it's angered some anti—gun campaigners. one of them — lucy cope, the founder of mothers against guns, whose son was shot dead — told the sun newspaper that sterling should cover the tattoo up or be banned from the england team. raheem sterling has defended the

image on social media. he said... "when i was two, my father died from being gunned down to death. i made a promise to myself i would never touch a gun in my life time. i shoot with my right foot, so it has a deeper meaning. and it's still unfinished." plenty have come out in support. match of the day presenter gary lineker, who criticised the sun's coverage. he said it is unique situation in this country where players are singled out by the press before a major tournament and raheem sterling has history about the way he is betrayed about certain things he has donein betrayed about certain things he has done in his life and gary lineker alluding to the fact this is the latest theme the press are using to hammer raheem sterling with. but if your child has been shot, he would be pretty angry with footballers being role models in this way. especially in the world of social

media as well. he posted that picture from england's training camp at saint george's park. where players from manchester united and chelsea have nowjoined up with the world cup squad. liverpool may have only finished their season on saturday with that champions league final defeat to real madrid, but they've wasted no time starting their transfer business for next year. they've completed the signing of the monaco midfielder fabinho for a fee of around 40 million pounds. the brazilian will officiallyjoin onjuly1st, and is seen as a replacement for emre can, who's expected to joinjuventus. there's plenty of transfer speculation surrounding real madrid's gareth bale, but the welshman won't be returning to his old club, tottenham. spurs have a buy—back clause in his contract, but the size of his wages and transfer fee mean it's unrealistic that they'd make a bid. now, coventry city fans haven't had much to cheer recently. before yesterday, they hadn't experienced a promotion from any division in 51 years. but that all changed in the league two play—off final. the sky blues beat exeter city 3—1

at wembley to seal their place in the third tier for next season. it's only 17 years since coventry were playing in the premier league. their fans will hope this is the start of the long road back to the top. the former england captain michael vaughan says stuart broad orjames anderson should be dropped for the second test against pakistan later this week. england are already 1—0 down in the series, and have lost eight of the last 15 tests they've played. vaughan told bbc 5 live that the side needs shaking up. england haven't been winning for a long time. theyjust keep going with the same old, every single week. you know, this isjust a kind of, a think tank that i hope people actually within the team and within the actual management, could itjust make a little difference? you know, you never know. you know, are they winning with them at the minute? no. are they as good as they were three or four years ago? no. i want to see more in terms of mentality of harder

play test match cricket. and you just never know, it just might trigger the team into thinking, none of us are safe. afterjohanna konta's first—round exit on sunday, it was a much better day for british players on day two of the french open. heather watson's now the last brit left in the women's draw, after making it through to round two. she put in one of her most confident performances at a grand slam, beating home favourite 0ceane dodin in straight sets. it's only watson's second win this year. cameron norrie is also into the second round of the men's draw. you might remember him from his davis cup heroics earlier in the year. well, he's broken into the world's top 100 players since then, and overpowered germany's peter gojowczyk, who had to retire hurt in the second set. norrie called it ‘the best tennis‘ he's played in his life. there is no andy murray at the moment so it is down to him and kyle edmund, who is playing later, to fly the flag for british hopes at the french open.

we will know more about andy murray. we‘re waiting to see if he will play. thank you very much, john. the search for the missing malaysian airlines flight mh370 is due to end today. the plane disappeared in 2014, while flying from kuala lumpur to beijing. there were 239 people on—board, 227 passengers and 12 crew members. the search was one of the largest in aviation history, but was suspended in january 2017 when nothing was found. the american firm 0cean infinity resumed the search injanuary of this year, but that comes to an end today, 0ur correspondentjonathan head sent this report. it is very disappointing most of all for the relatives but also for this company 0cean infinity who were very confident that with a more extensive equipment and with some refined views about where the wreckage might be as people have analysed in

particular drift patterns for the debris that has been found on the east african coast that there was a higher chance, a much higher chance of finding it. they searched 80,000 square kilometres in just of finding it. they searched 80,000 square kilometres injust three months, whereas the previous search search an area larger than that but over a period of two years so they covered a great deal more ground. they say their equipment worked very well in extremely challenging conditions, both high seas and very mountainous terrain on the sea bed where they looked, but they were clearly looking in the wrong area. and it simply opens up even more the mystery surrounding what happened, particularly at the end of mh370, there are conflicting theories about whether the plane was under the control of the pilot and might have glided along way, or whether he flew it until he either lost consciousness out of fuel and plunged into the sea. the difference in those theories makes a huge difference in the areas that people come up. so the possibility, and many people have theories, that there are other areas close to the

ones where they have been looking where it could still be located. and while the malaysia government has said for now, it will not renew the contract it has with 0cean infinity and this is no find of the contract, so and this is no find of the contract, so the company does not get paid u nless so the company does not get paid unless it finds the wreckage, they are not renewing that for the moment. but this is new government in malaysia, they have pledged to look at the way mh370 was handled, to publish for the first time a full report into their own handling of that accident and the disappearance. and in that sense, there is still the option left open that new evidence and new thinking it could restart a search at some stage in the future. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at the weather. this is the view across london this morning. hazy feel. big storms yesterday afternoon. 0utside our studios in sa lfo rd ,

afternoon. 0utside our studios in salford, in the north west, a similar feel to salford, in the north west, a similarfeel to it. when i walked in this morning, it did not feel foggy and it can feel foggy. did not feel foggy and it can feel foggy, it felt warm. like set up for another glorious day. carol, i had a stunner of a day yesterday, howard yours? it was lovely, thank you very much. you‘re quite right today, starting with a lot of cloud and mist and fog. visibility is poor across cumbria. it is not that much better across north yorkshire and parts of aberdeen sheriff. if you are travelling, bear that in mind. the low cloud will burn back to the east coast, especially these coast of england. then we are looking at a lot of sunshine. there is a risk once again of boundary showers which may prove disruptive. they are hit and miss and by no means will we see them. first thing this morning, scotla nd them. first thing this morning, scotland and northern ireland see the lion‘s share of the sunshine, high—pressure very much dominating.

the system from the near continent already producing some rain across parts of kent and sussex. this morning, a lot of blue sky across scotla nd morning, a lot of blue sky across scotland away from these coast. northern ireland, virtually wall—to—wall blue skies. and all this cloud around producing showery outbreaks of rain in the south—eastern corner, drifting further west through the day and some of them will be heavy and some of them will be thundery. 0thers break out as temperatures rise. you can see how this cloud moves back towards the coastline. in the sunshine today, temperatures across north west scotland, northern ireland up to 25, possibly 26 celsius. across england and wales, generally the high teens into the low to mid 20s. but again, cooler where we have this cloud lingering and the onshore breeze. yesterday, both scotland and northern ireland had the warmest day of the year so far. across the uk, we do not achieve that. to beat the highest

temperature this year so far, we would have to get hired and 29.1 and thatis would have to get hired and 29.1 and that is not likely at the moment. this evening and overnight, we watch the cloud, backing from the north sea and push across the uk. still some showers developing, some of those heavy across east anglia and southern parts of england. a couple across the bar north of scotland. it is not a cold night. quite a warm and sultry night that the south. we start tomorrow the same. a lot of showers. some of those will be thundery through the day. quite a lot of cloud as well across england and wales. tomorrow, the difference is the distribution. moving further north into parts of cheshire, the north into parts of cheshire, the north midlands and northern england. it is scotland and northern ireland once again with the lion‘s share of the sunshine. thursday shows another cloudy start to the day and yet more

showers developing throughout the day. many of us will miss them but if you do catch one, it could again be heavy and potentially disruptive. 0ne one of those weeks where you have to pack all sorts of stuff in terms of clothing just in case. ido like clothing just in case. i do like the sultry nights, they are too sticky. i agree. duvet on and off. it is like that. thank you very much. apologies if i was talking a second ago, i was talking about drones. we are not allowed one in the studio. kids love them as toys. but it is huge business. good morning. drones have gone from being a must—have boys toy to an important tool for many businesses. they‘re already used for filming and photography, but also for inspecting roads, railways and oil rigs and supporting the emergency services.

but according to researchers, we could be seeing a lot more of them. they say there could be more than 70,000 drones in the skies above the uk by 2030. that, they say, would generate more than 600,000 jobs and boost productivity across a whole range of sectors. but for that to happen, there‘d need to be big changes to legislation governing how and where drones can be flown. elaine whyte heads up a drones team at pwc that put this report together. good morning. itouched good morning. i touched on the applications of where they have been used. all sorts of places or using them. they could be a significant disruptorfor them. they could be a significant disruptor for many industries. if i ta ke disruptor for many industries. if i take one industry already using the technology, that is the filming

industry. we enjoyed the blue planet two series last year. we got a wonderful insight into how those in stacks and creatures lived. drones are agile and responsive and relatively inexpensive to use. if you translate the unique insight we got as a viewer of blue planet to business, you can see how drones would be used to give businesses a powerful perspective on what is happening within that perhaps significant infrastructure, if you think of oil and gas, or dispersed locations like utilities. and also within society, we will see benefits within society, we will see benefits with how they are used by emergency services. a lot of people will not appreciate that, in the sense that they are used to play around big ships or oil wrecks. look at things that it ships or oil wrecks. look at things thatitis ships or oil wrecks. look at things that it is very difficult for humans to get to. we hear a lot about things like deliveries. is that really feasible? in order for last mile delivery to be feasible, there

is significant changes that have to ta ke is significant changes that have to take place within the regulation. these changes are being looked at by the government, but is notjust about regulation changes that need to ta ke about regulation changes that need to take place, there is also a degree of societal acceptance. we need to understand these drones will present a benefit to others in society. and the technology also has to approve —— improved to allow this to approve —— improved to allow this to happen. there is a safety and privacy issue, you don‘t want these things flying in your back garden if you are enjoying the good weather. there is an issue of privacy and safety. and the regulation protects those privacy issues. and it will continue to protect those. what is really important is that i served in the force for 20 years and i saw first hand how airpower can present benefits to increase situation awareness. drones have real potential to give businesses that increased awareness of what is going on across that state. so regulation has got to change, but also our a cce pta nce has got to change, but also our acceptance of them. and the

technology as well because at the moment, the operator has to be able to see the drone. we are talking about the future where they could be autonomous and doing their own thing without any human interaction. absolutely, and significant investment is being made by industry to achieve that state for the future. i like to think perhaps drones could be operating from a box down the motorway where if there is an accident, those drones can automatically take off and take pictures of what has taken place. send them back to the emergency services so they can respond absolutely critically in most seconds,in absolutely critically in most seconds, in the right way for that accident scene. when we are talking about the value to the economy, and massive beast in terms of financial incentive to the economy. what does it mean for jobs? incentive to the economy. what does it mean forjobs? jobs will be created or it replaces people? we we re created or it replaces people? we were “— created or it replaces people? we were —— we expect 680 5,000 jobs in the drone economy. there are two

elements, there is enhanced by the use of drones including the emergency services, the police force using them potentially for increased awareness of what has taken place in crowd control, and newjobs will be created, exciting jobs that look at that mass of data collected from drones and that aerial view and what it is we need to do and how we need to respond to that data. it is absolutely incredible and the stuff they can do now, we were filming on friday with the drones so really interesting to see them in action. when some much. more from me after seven a:m.. thanks. the roof space of westminster abbey — the triforium — has been described as the best view in europe. but it‘s never been open to the public. for the first time in hundreds of years, that‘s about to change. our special correspondent, robert hall, is there for us this morning. at last, it is being opened to the

public and you will get a sneaky peak. we are! this is exclusive. nobody has seen this gallery yet all the objects in it. 300 of them, sorted out from well over 1,000. they have never been open to the public before, no one has ever seen them before. that view, i want to come back to that for a second down to the great west door. that is the view looking down to where the royal family enter the big events in the abbey. and back on the day of the coronation of the queen, richard dimbleby sat here with that view. i wa nt to dimbleby sat here with that view. i want to play a little bit of what he said on that day. the procession as it passes right up the great church of her majesty, queen elizabeth, the queen mother. and as the queen mother enters and later the queen, they will see spread out... well, this model here

gives an indication of what sir christopher wren would have liked westminster abbey to look like. the tower might be familiar but on the top, he envisaged a huge buyer. this isa top, he envisaged a huge buyer. this is a model that has been tucked away in the archives of the abbey and nobody has seen it all got an idea of what christopher wren‘s vision would have been. through here, these figures are the models for the sculptures that were erected above the great west door back in the late 19805, the great west door back in the late 1980s, of the great west door back in the late 19805, of 20th the great west door back in the late 1980s, of 20th century martyrs. they are now above the door and people passed through that door and perhaps did not look up to them. in the centre, martin luther king. i said i would describe how we got here, this isa would describe how we got here, this is a little bit more which shows you where this gallery is. the abbey, a huge building. most of that space is used, but in that roof space was a storage area which was originally

intended to be chapels and it fell into disuse. this is what has been opened up and they have had to build a tower to get up here so that people can get this high, 50 foot or so people can get this high, 50 foot or so above the abbey floor. this is where people can come from the beginning ofjune. i want to show you the exhibits in this end of the gallery because these rather spooky figures the effigies, if you were a royal or high bearing, when you died, and had yourfuneral, you had a model of yourself or members of yourfamily made a model of yourself or members of your family made that would stand above your grave. so people who came to the funeral would have this figure standing with them at the graveside. all slightly spooky. what we have done so far this morning is just show you a tiny corner of this gallery so come back later because there is so much more to show you and so many more things that nobody has ever seen before. you are going to be seen them for the first time

here on breakfast. but from the triforium, back to you in the studio. it is really interesting and i can imagine the arguments that went into what figure would go above the grave before he passed, can you imagine? you want absolutely the best image. exactly. and look at the work that went into creating the costume the figure was going to wear. as much detail as would have gone into the costu me detail as would have gone into the costu m e for detail as would have gone into the costume for the real person. there are much olderfigures of costume for the real person. there are much older figures of royalty which i will show you later that lay on top of the grave. stick with us because we have only shown you a tiny bit so far. this is exclusive, thanks very much, robert. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m tolu adeoye. the number of reports of vulnerable people going missing from care in london is increasing at "an alarmingly high rate." that‘s according to

the missing people charity. the bbc has obtained data which shows the met handled nearly 17,000 cases last year. up 34% since 2013. this includes children, as well as and adults disappearing from nursing and residential homes. the grenfell tower inquiry will continue to hear from victims‘ families today. tributes were paid to those who died last week in a number of powerful and emotional statements. some survivors have raised concerns that no ministers attended, but a government spokesman says ministers did not want to take the focus away from family and friends. it‘s thought the average loan from parents to help children buy homes in london is now more than £30,000. that‘s according to the centre for economics and business research. it says that the money lent by parents across the country makes the so called "bank of mum and dad" equivalent to a near £6 billion mortgage lender. a planning row between the singer robbie williams and his neighbour —

the former led zeppelin guitarist jimmy page — will be heard by officials in kensington and chelsea later today. mr williams wants to build a basement with a gym and a 30ft swimming pool underneath the garden of his grade ii—listed home in west london. but mr page, who lives next door, has told the council the proposed work would be ‘catastrophic.‘ let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes — the northern line is part because of over running engineering works. 0n the railway — thameslink are reporting some cancellations a knock—on from the new timetable, so check before you travel. 0n the m25 — the exit road atjunction 1b is shut because of a gas leak in the area. the a225 that runs alongside the m25 is closed shut northbound as a result, and the princes road interchange is partly shut. anticlockwise on the m25 — it‘s slow between j25 for enfield and j24 for potters bar, a car has broken down and it‘s blocking the inside lane. let‘s have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm bank

holiday monday, followed by a warm and sticky and humid night last night. we wake up this morning to a great picture with a lot of cloud and mistand great picture with a lot of cloud and mist and merck around. with the risk of more thundery showers. the met office has a yellow weather warnings for the showers working their way from parts of the continent. we will see this afternoon the cloud breaking and shower risks and brighter spells and maybe sunshine boasting three. temperature is not as warm pleasures today at 23 celsius. 0vernight, the low cloud and mist and fog moving across as with the risk of heavy thundery showers developing. another warm and sticky night, between 12 and 14 celsius. the shower risk continues through wednesday and thursday, with the risk of thunder as well. thursday afternoon dries out and more sunshine towards the end of the week and into the weekend. temperatures are up against the 23, maybe 24 celsius. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it‘s back

to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the doctors and nurses who treated sergei and yulia skripal have spoken for the first time about their treatment. they say they didn‘t expect the former russian spy and his daughter to survive the nerve agent attack. we would try all therapies, we would ensure best clinical care. but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. good morning, it‘s tuesday, 29th may. also this morning... the obesity crisis in the classroom. 22,000 children leave primary school dangerously overweight. 0n the up — again. british gas raises prices today with other firms set to follow. are we paying too much for our energy

and is there any way to avoid it? i‘ll have some top tips a little later. in sport, anti—gun campaigners criticise england forward raheem sterling after he posts a picture of a machine gun tattoo on his leg. he defnded the image saying it has a "deeper meaning." the life at westminster abbey for an exclusive look at a new exhibition space which was once described as having the best view in europe. looks lovely! wonder what it‘s like outside. it is then accountable bobbled a lot of cloud around this morning with mist and fog. most of it will burn back allowing lots of sunshine at we have seen some rain across the south is turning more showery through the morning, further showers develop some of which will be heavy and thundery. more details in 15 minutes. good morning.

first, our main story. medical staff who treated sergei and yulia skripal after they were poisoned in salisbury have told the bbc they didn‘t expect them to survive. some of those who treated the former russian spy and his daughter have spoken exclusively to bbc newsnight‘s mark urban about their efforts to save them. we were just told there was two patients down in the emergency department who are critically unwell and they would be coming up to the unit. it was very quickly established that the victims were yulia skripal and herfather, one—time russian spy, sergei, and that the police regarded it as suspicious. i made the phone call and i spoke to the nurse in charge who had been on that night, and it was a conversation that i really could never have imagined in my wildest imagination having with anyone. at first, a opioid overdose was suspected. but as the skripals fought for their lives, the diagnosis changed to nerve agent poisoning. when we first were aware this

was a nerve agent... we were expecting them not to survive. we would try all our therapies, we would ensure the best clinical care. but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. when a policeman also fell ill, hospital staff started to wonder whether they, too, might be in danger. i suppose a key marker for me was when the pc was admitted with symptoms, there was a real concern as to... how big could this get? at first, it was simply a matter of keeping the skripals alive, heavily sedated. both of them were given big doses of drugs to protect them from the effects of the poison and help restart their bodies‘ production of a key enzyme. and the human factor was vital, too. excellent teamwork by the doctors, fantastic care and dedication by our nurses and i guess supported and supplemented a great deal by some input from really,

really well—informed international experts, which very fortunately happened to be on our doorstep. that is important now. that laboratory internationally known for its chemical weapons expertise processed tests and offered advice on the best therapies. yulia was discharged in april and last week made a statement thanking the hospital. but it took several more weeks before sergei skripal could follow her out of salisbury district. they‘d been brought back from the brink of death but questions remain about the longer term. you can see more of those interviews with the staff at salisbury hospital on newsnight tonight at 10:30pm on bbc two. one in 25 primary school children in england aged between 10 and 11 is severely obese, the most overweight on the scale. the local government association has analysed data

released by public health england earlier this year. it says child obesity is contributing to a "multi—billion pound ill—health time bomb." the department of health says the sugar tax is funding schools sports programmes and breakfasts for the poorest children and the government is investing in further research. the man asked to become italy‘s prime minister is trying to put together a government as the country‘s political crisis continues. carlo cottarelli is a former director at the international monetary fund and was asked to take up the position until new elections can be held. however, the two main parties have promised to block anything he submits and have called for peaceful protests. youtube has deleted more than 30 videos which police say are responsible for inciting a surge in violent crime across london. it comes after the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick outlined so—called drill music as a weapon being used by gangs to taunt each other on social media. youtube said it was working with authorities to take action on gang—related content.

drill music like this is accused not only of glamorising violence but of contributing to real crime. this video was used in evidence in a recent murder trial. hundreds of tracks are available on social media. some have been viewed over a million times. they often feature put and masked gangs making violent hand gestures. they often feature hooded and masked gangs making violent hand gestures. the met police commissioner, cressida dick, said the videos were used by real gangs to taunt each other and have been linked to at least one attack. she called on internet companies to show social responsibility. scotland yard has asked youtube to take down between 50—60 videos it believes raise the risk of violence. the company said it had removed more than 30 clips which were found to be in violation of its policies or broke the law. youtube, which is owned by google, said it shared their deep concern

said it shared the deep concern many felt by this issue and was continuing to work constructively with experts. talks between us and north korean officials continue as both sides finalise plans for a possible meeting between president donald trump and kimjong—un. the summit on 12thjune was thrown into uncertainty last week after mr trump said he would no longer be attending. earlier, we spoke to our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes from seoul. it looks like diplomatic momentum is picking up because we have three different things going on now. we have the talks here near to seoul, about 30 miles from here. we‘ve got to make teams from the us and north korea on their way to singapore to do logistics and security arrangements there for the possible summit. and then perhaps the most important, this morning we‘ve learnt

a man called kim chang—son is on his way to the inept states, he was seen boarding an aircraft at beijing airport this morning heading for the us. he is a very important person in north korea, considered to be kim jong un‘s right—hand man, the former spy jong un‘s right—hand man, the former spy chief for north korea and he accompanied kim jong un spy chief for north korea and he accompanied kimjong un on both his recent trips to china for his summit with that president. very important quy: with that president. very important guy, close to kim jong—un with that president. very important guy, close to kimjong—un on his way to the united states clearly for some sort of meeting with senior us officials. starbucks is closing all 8,000 of its coffee shops in the united states today to teach staff how to avoid discriminating against customers. the training follows the wrongful arrest of two black men in a branch in philadelphia last month. 175,000 employees will spend four hours learning about unconscious bias and racism in public places. local authorities in england are to be given additional money by the government to help create 740 more school places for children with special educational needs. the extra £50 million will also be

used to provide new facilities to support children with complex needs, such as sensory rooms and playgrounds with specialist equipment. the minister for children and families, nadhim zahawi, says each council will receive up to £225,000. it is about improving the quality of outcome for those children, which is why we are announcing this money, the £50 million, and we are continuing to work with local authorities, with schools and all the parents... and carer forums to make sure we do the right thing for those children. the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich, has claimed israeli citizenship. roman abramovich, has claimed the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich, has claimed the russian billionaire flew to tel aviv to be given an identity card under the law of return, which allowsjews to become citizens of israel. he‘s recently had problems extending his british visa, but holders of israeli passports are allowed to enter the uk without a visa. thousands of spectators have been treated to the annual cheese rolling

competition in gloucestershire. it is not a very safe event. cheese goes, then they go tumbling down the hill. what they do is they chasing double gloucester. it is chased the 200 metres or you throw yourself after it. that is the winner, chris anderson, who has won this 22 times. he does not eat the gloucester. i mean, you know about this competition. is it not the done thing to eat the cheese? you could if you wanted to but he‘s not keen on it. the hill is so steep and there is a line of people trying to stop people as they hurl themselves down. very dangerous business but congratulations to him, he has won it again. the weather will becoming up later on. more than £22,000 children in england are leaving primary schools severely obese, which can lead to a raft

of health problems and shorter life expectancy. the local government association, which obtained the figures, says the issue is contributing to a "multi—billion pound ill—health time bomb." let‘s discuss this with gp dr rangan chatterjee, and dr mars skae, a paediatrician at the royal manchester children‘s hospital. good morning to you both. we‘ve spoken to you many times about obesity and what you are doing in terms of tackling this but i wonder what you are seeing, dr mars skae. what this report is looking at is the implications of leaving primary school babies. what do you see as a paediatrician? i see the worst of the worst. i‘m a specialist in hormones and diabetes. and we see, on average, 12—13 —year—olds who are over 100 kilos in weight or about 16 stone. these are children who cannot

necessarily breathe properly at night it affects their learning at school, they have low self—esteem, mental health issues associated with that. what kind of weight would you... you go through growth spurts at that age but what should of weight should you expect to see? less tha n weight should you expect to see? less than half of that, really. so, eight — nine stone? less than half of that, really. so, eight - nine stone? yes, for a fully grown 12—13 —year—old of good size. does your experience, your clinical experience, match up to this sense we are getting from the statistics that there are more of these severely obese youngsters than they used to be relatively recently in the last 8—10 years? used to be relatively recently in the last 8-10 years? absolutely. the reason i got into this is because my clinics were becoming flooded with babies children and —— with a obese children. and i got into this

because i wanted to concentrate on hormones and i thought i‘ve got to solve this problem orfind people to help solve this problem so i can clear my clinics. how does it get to the point where a gp, and this is my assumption and please correct me if i‘m wrong, a gp in contact with a family from when the child has been born to getting to 12—13, or 11, and this problem has not been addressed? it isa this problem has not been addressed? it is a very complex problem and i can see why you'd assume that was the case but there is many factors that play a role, including the fact that play a role, including the fact that people are seeing different gps, we don't have that same relationship with doctors we had before. you do see weight charts and in those compressed appointments when there are so many things to do, it isn't quite as simplistic as it is made out. wild the doctors doing more? it isn't that simple. 0ne issue is education. and one is the

environment. education, absolutely, as doctors we need to help our patients. we also need to educate the public that it isn'tjust diet and physical activity. your sleep quality plays a role in whether you are going to be overweight, your stress levels, how your mother was when she was pregnant, these play a role. we are blaming a lot of people because we say they are not moving enough or eating too much but i see a lot of children and families who are really trying their best but there seem to be other factors at play. that is the education part. i've created this cause to teach doctors about these factors, i've written a book to help these guys, help families live happier and healthier lives in a very simplistic way. let's not forget about the environment. if you live in a deprived area, you are much more likely to be overweight or obese. so, dr mars skae, you are not in the

blame game, but, at the same time, are there commonalities that you see you look at a child, physically, you look at their background, their lifestyle, what a re look at their background, their lifestyle, what are the common factors you have learnt over time? the common factors, about 80% of the large children we see are from families that are large so it is a common fallacy that parents can recognise their children are overweight, obese, because the vast majority are from families. we know that deprivation, as mentioned, is a huge issue, so food quality, what they are eating, affects things. the other commonalities are the lack of activity. a lot of children eat when they are bored so if they don‘t have things to keep them occupied and they are not active, they immediately regress into a state where they just comfort

immediately regress into a state where theyjust comfort eat. to try to finish on some kind of a positive note, do you have success in changing? you talk about the terrible situation with children so hugely overweight at such a young age, do you have success at turning lights around? we do see success but we have to tailor what we prescribe, and lifestyle prescriptions involving schools and multi—agencies soi involving schools and multi—agencies so i often have to write to the schoolteacher, i have to write to numerous amounts of people involved in that child to get everybody to be giving the right messages. the most important is that parents get them on board to help their children. so it can be tackled? we have a default ‘x: it can be tackled? we have a default % the crease in child obesity. we are doing an approach targeted to the population so we can do it. thank you very much for your time. the department of health says the sugar tax is funding schools sports programmes and breakfasts for the poorest children — and the government is investing in further research.

here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. we are off to a fairly cloudy start with poor visibility around, especially cumbria, north yorkshire and aberdeenshire, most of that will lift, it will brighten up or push over the north sea coastline and leave us with a lot of sunshine but, once again, there is the risk of some thundery showers which could potentially prove to be disruptive. high pressure is dominating our weather at the moment with the system coming up into the near continent producing some rain into parts of south—east england. that will turn more showery in nature. from scotland, you are off to a cracking start. if you like it sunny on dry, and the same for northern ireland. you can see all the cloud we have, some mist and fog mix in

and the showery rain coming in across kent, sussex, in the direction of the isle of wight which will be moving north, north—west through the day, turning showery in nature. the nature of the showers themselves means we won‘t see them everyone. later on we could see one crop up in the midlands, east anglia and further north. temperatures, high teens and low 20s. can along the coast. more like 14—16. in northern ireland or north—west scotland, we could hit 25—26. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far yesterday was the warmest day of the yearso far in yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far in scotland and northern ireland but we would need to reach 29 to make it the warmest day in the yearin 29 to make it the warmest day in the year in the uk. through the evening and overnight, the cloud comes in from the north sea across our shores, further showers develop, coming in again from the south—east

through east anglia towards the midlands, some of those could be heavy and country and we could catch one or two across the far north of scotla nd one or two across the far north of scotland as well. it will not be cool scotland as well. it will not be cool, it‘ll be quite oppressive. tomorrow, we start off with further showers, and we can see the track they are taking coming in from the east going north, north—west. north wales, north midlands and northern england, more showers but more cloud as well. some of it will breaks and it‘ll brighten up but yet again it is northern ireland and scotland thatis is northern ireland and scotland that is going to see the sunniest conditions and also the highest temperatures with 24 across the far north—west whereas when we come further south, a high of 21—22. even towards the end of the week, we are not done with the thunderstorms just yet. at least it is warm! we are grateful. there are half a million african elephants left in the wild, a sobering thought when you consider that figure was five million a century ago.

tens of thousands of them are killed by poachers every year. to tackle the problem, troops from the british army will be training park rangers in malawi to better equip them against attacks. we‘re nowjoined by majorjames cowen, who will lead the operation and defence secretary, gavin williamson. both joining bothjoining us from both joining us from the safari park. thank you for your time this morning. gavin williamson, explain what the thinking is behind the allocation of these frubes to this role. what we are trying to do is to make sure to do everything we can do to support the malawi government to tackle the illegal wildlife trade which is worth £17 billion a year, and it is a lot of this money is funnelled into illegal activity, terrorism, and it is important we support malawi as we have done gabon in the past to tackle this trade and save his amazing animals and

actually encourage them to develop their wildlife tourism trade, which is an important role our forces will be training their ranges to have the skills that needed to deal with this illegal activity. maybe you can pick up illegal activity. maybe you can pick up on that point. what has been explain to you about the role you will be performing? well, first of all, i will be performing? well, first of all, lam privileged will be performing? well, first of all, i am privileged to be leading this very enthusiastic and passionate group of people out to africa. to a man, they are very excited. they see the difficulties that certain speeds use in africa are in and for me it is a blessing for the command because these guys are fired up and motivated to help the rangers in africa improve their low—level skills which will help pay dividends in the end in curtailing any sort of... poaching of animals in the protected areas in malawi. we‘re british forces are very adaptable and we have seen that in

other situations. what are the skills you think you can bring from some of the other situations you troops have been in? when we started looking for the team and putting it together, we went right across the army, looking for people who are very individual ability to operate on their own at longreach, people with imagination and, crucially for this one, enthusiasm and passion for conservation. the team we have assembled really takes all those boxes, from the poaching operators, drawn from the infantry and cavalry, through to our specialist, the medics and intelligence analysts, teaching the malawians about bush craft and tracking, through to the medics who will improve the medical abilities. and the analyst will find poachers before they become an issue. just as we were talking to you, we issue. just as we were talking to you , we were issue. just as we were talking to you, we were showing the images of the elephants themselves in their

natural habitat. are any of your troops, do they have any particular animal skills? 0n the face of it, i‘d think not. has anyone got any experience of training in that particular area? the main sort of experience these guys have is finding these animals in the bush, finding these animals in the bush, finding their roots and patterns and being able to use that to inform their patrol and protect them but in terms of hands—on experience, not really. we tried to avoid that, really. we tried to avoid that, really. gavin williamson, we are seeing in the shot behind you, some of the elephants are emerging from the buildings behind you. in terms of the deployment itself, is it going to be increasingly the way possibly british troops are used in areas we might not have imagined before? it is in the first time they‘ve been used in this kind of but is it something you are keen to

encourage? it is absolutely important the british armed forces bring their skills to every part of the world to make a difference. this is another example of how they can doa is another example of how they can do a real good in different parts of the world. it is something we want to see encouraged. it is being funded by the department for environment, food and rural affairs. and you see a lot of rangers who are trying to keep these amazing animals safe, they just don‘t trying to keep these amazing animals safe, theyjust don‘t have the skills and if our armed forces can give them some of that training so they can do a betterjob and preserve these amazing animals for a future generation, it is worth doing. yes. major, if i future generation, it is worth doing. yes. major, ifi may, i don't know if you can glance of your left shoulder, but... there is an elephant right behind you, and to look at that, i don‘t know how many close encounters you have had so far but it has maybe given you a little sense of some of what you‘ve got to

come. absolutely. whenever you see an elephant up close, you're struck by the majesty of the creature. i think it really drives home to my soldiers the fact we are really buying our place in history if we're able to do something to stop the decline of these glorious animals. yeah, it seems like a good place to stop our chat, those wonderful images from west midlands safari park. just looking ahead to those british army personnel who will be travelling to malawi to help in some of these efforts to stop the poachers out there so our thanks to both of those people. isn‘t that great? just wonderful. coming up later in the programme, westminster abbey dates back centuries but one part has never before been open to the public. robert hall is there for us this morning.

i suppose it is an attic conversion a grand scale, it was a storage space and note is about to open is a brand—new exhibition space. the figures you are seeing once lay on top of royal craves, they‘ve never been seen before. this places the face of henry vi, the most lifelike ever seen face of henry vi, the most lifelike ever seen by the public as well. if you want to know more, join me later after the news, travel and weather where are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m tolu adeoye. the number of reports of vulnerable people going missing from care in london is increasing at "an alarmingly high rate." that‘s according to the missing people charity. the bbc has obtained data which shows the met handled nearly 17,000 cases last year. up 34% since 2013. this includes children, as well as adults in nursing and residential homes. the grenfell tower inquiry

will continue to hear from victims‘ families today. tributes were paid to those who died last week in a number of powerful and emotional statements. there‘s been some concern that no ministers attended but a government spokesman says a decision was taken not to do anything that would take the focus away from friends and family. it‘s thought the average loan from parents to help children buy homes in london is now more than £30,000. that‘s according to the centre for economics and business research. it says that the money leant by parents across the country makes the so called "bank of mum and dad" equivalent to a near £6 billion mortgage lender. a planning row between the singer robbie williams and his neighbour — the former led zeppelin guitarist jimmy page — will be heard by officials in kensington and chelsea later today. mr williams wants to build a basement with a gym and a 30ft swimming pool underneath the garden of his home in west london. but mr page, who lives next door, has told the council the proposed work would be "catastrophic."

let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes — the northern line has severe delays. 0n the railway — thameslink are reporting some cancellations a knock—on from the new timetable, so check before you travel. turning to the roads — it‘s slow northbound, approaching the blackwall tunnel. 0n the m25 — the exit road atjunction 1b is shut because of a gas leak in the area. anticlockwise on the m25 it‘s slow between j25 and j24 because of a broken down car blocking a lane. finally, the a21 sevenoaks by—pass is blocked between hildenborough and the m25 because of an accident. let‘s have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. it was a warm bank holiday monday so we woke up to a grey picture with a lot of cloud, mist and merck around

as well with the risk of more than three showers and the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for these showers working their way up for these showers working their way up from parts of the continent so we will see this afternoon the couple breaking with a shower risk but also some brighter spells, some sunshine bursting through with temperatures not as warm as yesterday with 23 celsius. 0vernight, that low cloud, mist and fog moving back across as with the risk of some heavy, country showers developing. another warm and sticky note with the minimum of 14-15. that sticky note with the minimum of 14—15. that shower risk continues through wednesday and thursday with the risk of thunder the whole time as well. thursday afternoon trying out with a bit more in the way of sunshine into the weekend. temperatures up again, 23—24. i‘m back with again, 23—24. the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it‘s back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning.

here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. medical staff who treated sergei and yulia skripal after they were poisoned in salisbury have told the bbc they didn‘t expect them to survive. they also revealed that at first, they were unaware the former russian spy and his daughter were the victims of nerve agent poisoning. 0ne doctor described the situation as beyond his wildest imagination. when we first were aware this was a nerve agent, we were when we first were aware this was a nerve agent, we were expecting them not to survive. we will try all our therapies. we would ensure the best clinical care, but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. one in 25 primary school children in england aged between ten and 11 is severely obese — the most overweight on the scale. the local government association has analysed data released by public health england earlier this year. it says child obesity is contributing to a "multi—billion—pound ill—health time bomb". the department of health says the sugar tax is funding schools sports programmes and breakfasts

for the poorest children, and the government is investing in further research. some of you getting in touch about the subject. mark says, take the junk food from the shelves and balls the food outlets to provide everything 500 calories or less. this says, young children, it has to start with their pa rents, children, it has to start with their parents, many of whom are not considerate of food intake. keep your thoughts coming in. the man asked to become italy‘s prime minister is trying to put together a government, as the country‘s political crisis continues. carlo cotta relli is a former director at the international monetary fund and was asked to take up the position until new elections can be held. however, the two main parties have promised to block anything he submits and have called for peaceful protests. youtube has deleted more than 30 videos which police say are responsible for inciting a surge in violent crime across london. it comes after the metropolitan police commissioner, cressida dick, outlined so—called ‘drill music‘ as a weapon being used by gangs to taunt each other on social media. youtube said it was working

with authorities to take action on gang—related content. starbucks is closing all 8,000 of its coffee shops in the united states today, to teach staff how to avoid discriminating against customers. the training follows the wrongful arrest of two black men in a branch in philadelphia last month. 175,000 employees will spend four hours learning about unconscious bias and racism in public places. i have learned a new words today, slacklining. i never knew what it was. it involves walking in high—heels, while walking between two points along a suspended line of webbing — at 1,300 metres in the air — people take part wearing high heels.

this competition was held in central china. the aim is to get the other side. this is mimi, who won the competition in a time of nine minutes and 24 seconds. i think you made the point earlier that the time is irrelevant. also, i was confused because we say they are walking in high heels but you don‘t have too, the rope does not have to be directly in contact with the heel, you can walk across it. you could use the flat of the book. not to dismiss their achievements. the heel is on. see? not there. it isa the heel is on. see? not there. it is a swivel and a place. iam no is a swivel and a place. i am no expert in slacklining tightrope walking of any kind, john, but i would say the weather was not conducive because of the wind, tricky conditions. the only time having drinks on a saturday night might help you wobbling around.

no! just leave it there. what have you got? i thought it might help. if you are trying to balance on a wire, if you have some drinks on a saturday night, if you are wobbling around, that might help to improve your balance on it. no? no. iam balance on it. no? no. i am on my own! we‘re talking about manchester city forward raheem sterling, his tattoo which she showed off at england training yesterday, it is a gun and it has a lot of people talking. it‘s angered anti—gun campaigners. saying you cannot have a gun tattoo on you like, other people saying, get over it, he is a young guy. and he does have his reasons. yes, which we will touch upon. lucy cope, the founder of mothers against guns — whose son was shot dead — told the sun newspaper that sterling should cover the tattoo up or be banned from the england team. sterling defended the image on social media, saying, "when i was two, my father died from being gunned down to death.

i made a promise to myself i would never touch a gun in my life time. i shoot with my right foot, so it has a deeper meaning. and it‘s still unfinished." some have come out in support. former england striker and match of the day presenter gary lineker said the paper‘s criticism of sterling was disgusting. and went on to say that it is another attempt to destroy our players‘ morale before a major tournament. he said, "it‘s weird, unpatriotic and sad." lots of comments have come in this morning. robert says: “ill thought out by sterling. why now at the world cup? needs to understand he is in the public eye and will have a young audience watching him and therefore needs to review his moral obligations." but stuart says: "i think it his decision, he‘s explained why he‘s done it, not that he needed to." you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or share your thoughts with other

viewers on our facebook page. well, sterling posted the picture on england duty, the squad at st george‘s park preparing for their friendly with nigeria this weekend, they leave leave for russia two weeks today. they‘ve beenjoined by players from manchester united and chelsea, who had extra time off after the fa cup final. that is raheem sterling. after defeat to real madrid in the champions league final, liverpool are bringing in reinforcements as they prepare to go again next seson. the monaco midfielder fabinho willjoin for around £40 million in july, with emre can expected to join juventus. the former england cricket captain michael vaughan says stuart broad orjames anderson should be dropped for the second test against pakistan later this week. england are already 1—0 down in the series, and have lost eight

of the last 15 tests they‘ve played. england haven‘t been winning for a long time. theyjust keep going with the same old, every single week. you know, this isjust a kind of, a think tank that i hope people actually within the team and within the actual management, could itjust make a little difference? you know, you never know. you know, are they winning with them at the minute? no. are they as good as they were three or four years ago? no. i want to see more in terms of mentality of harder play test match cricket. and you just never know, it might trigger the team into thinking, none of us are safe. after johanna konta‘s first—round exit on sunday, it was a much better day for british players on day two of the french open. heather watson‘s now the last brit left in the women‘s draw, after making it through to round two. she put in one of her most confident performances at a grand slam, beating home favourite 0ceane dodin

in straight sets. it‘s only watson‘s second win this year. cameron norrie is also into the second round of the men‘s draw. you might remember him from his davis cup heroics earlier in the year. well, he‘s broken into the world‘s top 100 players since then, and overpowered germany‘s peter gojowczyk, who had to retire hurt in the second set. norrie called it the best tennis he‘s played in his life. and he is flying the flag for britain at the moment. in the absence of andy murray. i like to see players taking a moment to chat to people after the game. exactly, a nod to those who supported you, absolutely. thanks. three people have been arrested in connection with the deaths of 18—year—old georgia jones and 20—year—old tommy cowan at the mutiny music festival in portsmouth on saturday. it‘s thought they died after taking drugs from the same high—strength batch of ecstasy. 0rganisers cancelled sunday‘s show, and posted on social media that they would continue to work

with the authorities to support them in any way possible. georgia‘s mother posted an emotional statement on facebook. she wrote: "if nothing else, i hope what happened to her will deter you from taking anything ever. the pills caused her temperature to rise so high, it made her fit for 45 minutes. my little girl was 18 and full of life. ijust hope this stops at least some of you from ending up the same." speaking to the bbc, tommy cowen‘s father also urged young people to think twice about taking drugs. i was in the hospital with tommy when he was fighting, and i walked in and i held his hand and he died. young boy comes to a concert, makes one wrong decision, now he‘s gone.

it‘s no good saying, don‘t do drugs. all i can say is, take this on board, look what‘s happened. if you want to end up that way, carry on. if you don‘t, just don‘t even think about it. we‘re joined by criminologist fiona measham, who founded the loop, a charity which provides drug safety testing and advice at festivals and other events. good morning. it is agonising hearing the thoughts of those pa rents hearing the thoughts of those parents in the most awful is that insta nces, parents in the most awful is that instances, having lost their children. that presumably is where your ports are, this is something your ports are, this is something you are closely involved with but it is so difficult to hear that. it is a terrible tragedy, i am a parent andi a terrible tragedy, i am a parent and i really feel it is every parent‘s worst nightmare. tel is a bit about the work you do. we set up a charity five years ago that

provides help and information to young people at festivals and nig htclu bs young people at festivals and nightclubs and now we do forensic testing for safety. we take a pop—up lab to events and we provide rapid real—time information to people at the events and emergency services. let‘s explain this. i am going to an event like this, i decide i want to ta ke event like this, i decide i want to take drugs. i know it is illegal, but i am doing it anyway. so i take one of my pills to you, what happens? they bring a pill orjust keep a powder and then put it in a bag and they post it in an amnesty bin and our pop—up lab spent on our testing the substance to find out what it is and they come back an hour later and get the results as pa rt hour later and get the results as part ofan hour later and get the results as part of an intervention by a health ca re part of an intervention by a health care professional. do they get it back? we don‘t give any substance back, that would be an offence under the misuse of drugs at. you are told it contains this and it is going to

do this to you or it is clean, so to speak? yes, we are clean and clear we don‘t condone drug use, the safest way to take drugs is not to ta ke safest way to take drugs is not to take them. and we as people for their medical history, they are on medication, so the advice is embedded in their own individual medical condition. how has it been received by parents? parents would say, you are just letting received by parents? parents would say, you arejust letting our received by parents? parents would say, you are just letting our kids know it is ok. that is the ultimate, and you try to prevent altogether or do you encourage? we are clear we don‘t condemn or condone drug use and we get a lot of support from pa rents. and we get a lot of support from parents. the last week popped me to say thank you for looking after our children and the festivals. —— a mother last week. we can say, don‘t ta ke mother last week. we can say, don‘t take drugs, but some people smuggled them in and some are intent on taking them and they use our service. we describe it as the last line of defence in terms of trying to reduce drug—related harm. line of defence in terms of trying to reduce drug-related harm. we don‘t know yet the details of what

happens this weekend but the location is this was a badge of a drug that was very dangerous. how often have you been in a situation where you tested something and it has a result that is dangerous? assuming that if you take the position they are all dangerous, potentially for somebody, but something beyond that. yes, we were testing last weekend in bristol and about one in eight were not what we expected so we fight that up and put out warnings on twitter. there were very strong stimulants mis—sold as ecstasy. 0ne very strong stimulants mis—sold as ecstasy. one of the biggest concerns at the moment is very pure ecstasy and cocaine is causing problems and we have the highest drug—related death rate in europe we have ever had because people are taking such high—strength ecstasy. and some of the pills with warnings have more than 300 mg of mda and if somebody ta kes two, than 300 mg of mda and if somebody takes two, that can be lethal

amount. there is no way of knowing that when they are buying that. exactly, there could be anything in it from a really dangerous contaminant to a high purity pill so thatis contaminant to a high purity pill so that is why we can get that information to people. and they can make their own informed choices. information to people. and they can make their own informed choicesm is clearly not a role to judge what you are seeing, but one in eight people at festivals are buying something other than what they think they are putting into their bodies. absolutely, it is also flagging up the fact that dealers are ripping people off. is that what happened here in terms of something like that in the mix that cancelling the event was the best thing to do? and stand why the promoters had to do that, yes. really, there are bigger issues about across the uk people understanding what is in circulation in the illegal market. this was not necessarily a problem in relation to that specific festival. fiona, thank you very much. here‘s carol, with a look at this morning‘s weather. it is beautiful out there.

in scotland and northern ireland, a cracking start to the day. the rest of the uk, there is a lot of cloud and mistand of the uk, there is a lot of cloud and mist and fog. it will brighten up, many of us will see sunshine. along the east coast of england, will hang onto that low cloud with an onshore breeze. we have showers and rain today, high—pressure very much dominating the weather, hardly any wind. showers and rain are courtesy of the system. it is raining across kent, sussex, the isle of wight, and that is pushing north west through the day. not far away from essex. the rain turns more showery and as temperatures rise, more showers develop some of which will be heavy and sunny. most of them will be in the south of england. some in the midlands and east anglia and wales.

hitand miss. not midlands and east anglia and wales. hit and miss. not everyone sees them. the many away from the used coast, a fine day and sunny. the lion‘s share of the sunshine is across northern ireland and scotland. temperatures up to 25 or 26, especially in the west. more like 13, 16 under the cloud and with the breeze in the north sea coastline. through the evening and overnight, after a beautiful evening for many, cloud comes back in once again. as well as that, many showers die, but then we see new showers from the near continent and this could again be heavy and thundery. also some across the far north of scotland. review, it is not going to be cold night. 0nce scotland. review, it is not going to be cold night. once again, quite sultry in the south with temperatures down to 14, 15 celsius. into tomorrow, a fairly cloudy note across eastern and southern areas. still showers. you can see the

direction they are travelling. north, north—westerly. tomorrow, with the distribution, it is looking a little different. it has been dry across cheshire and the north midlands into northern england, you are more likely to see showers tomorrow and again, they could be heavy and thundery. not as many in the south and here as well, cloud thins out and it will brighten up. it is scotland and northern ireland with the lion‘s share of the sunshine. another beautiful day if you like dry, sunny and warm. some parts could reach 24, 20 five celsius. again, it in the thunderstorms, temperatures down and it is cool in the east. by thursday, quite a bit of cloud around and again, more showers coming our way and getting further north, so northern ireland and scotland seeing some of them. they wave of them across england and wales with the potential to be heavy and thundery and potentially disruptive. at least the temperatures are

decent, thanks very much. we are talking about gas bills now. yes, more rises on the way at this time from british gas. we are all paying too much for our energy. good morning. british gas customers on default tariffs will be paying extra on their bills from today. yes, these affect standard variable tariffs. you might remember a 5.5% rise on these default tariffs was announced back in april by britain‘s biggest domestic energy supplier. the increase, which applies to both gas and electricity customers, will add around £60 a year to average bills, taking them tojust over £1,160. the increase will affect over four million customers who are on the company‘s standard tariff. but it‘s not the only energy supplier putting up its prices. 0ther rises are due injune from scottish power, edf and npower. claire 0sborne is from the price comparison website uswitch, which make money from customers switching suppliers.

good morning. it is a familiar tale, prices going up again. what can we do, if anything, prices going up again. what can we do, ifanything, to prices going up again. what can we do, if anything, to get away from this, to avoid such an increase? the important thing to do is make sure you are on a fixed tariffs and you are not vulnerable to these increases to the standard variable tariff. these are the tariffs that 60% of the uk will be on, the default is tariff if you do not make another choice. making sure you are ona another choice. making sure you are on a better fix another choice. making sure you are on a betterfix price another choice. making sure you are on a better fix price tariff is important. the kinds of things to do that, just grab a bill and that has the information you need. your postcode because energy is regionally priced, and your consumption. you pay for how much you use. and you will be able to get a comparison across the market on the different edf —— tariffs, you could save up to £490 by switching. the cynic would suggestjust could save up to £490 by switching. the cynic would suggest just when could save up to £490 by switching. the cynic would suggestjust when i switch, i will fix for a couple of yea rs switch, i will fix for a couple of years and i know exactly what i pay andi years and i know exactly what i pay and i am not susceptible to changes,

they will put them up anyway by the timei they will put them up anyway by the time i switch. it is just moving from one supplier to another? there are from one supplier to another? there a re really great from one supplier to another? there are really great suppliers in the market. some of the cheapest happen to be some of the ones topping our customer satisfaction tables. you can get really great service. in many cases, renewable energy is standard, so great choices. and if you fix, you are protecting yourself from those increases. for example, there are 100 fixed energy tariffs off the market today and those customers, if they don‘t fix again, they will see an increase of £400 and that is because they had been protecting themselves from the price rises until now. for those guys, incredibly important to take action. why our prices going up? it is largely because of increases in wholesale prices which make up 40%. because we import about 40% of energy from abroad, we really subject to international facts. energy from abroad, we really subject to internationalfacts. the

conflict in the middle east is important things. currency and the beast from the use. that used up a lot of gas supplies we expected usenix winter and that increases the prices of the energy. we‘re talking about those people relu cta nt to we‘re talking about those people reluctant to fix or move. you talk about the default tariff that we get put on if we don‘t do anything. if you don‘t like it, do something about it, we can‘t stress that enough. and if you are shopping around, what should you be looking for? you don‘t want to go for a tube one and you can‘t get anybody on the phone. exactly. -- a cheaper one. look at the customer ratings. we did a survey of 17,000 customers which you can look at and it will show you exactly how we rated each supplier. so you can make an informed decision not just a switch for price so you can make an informed decision notjust a switch for price and also for good service. that is so important. thanks for explaining that. and also always, if you don‘t

like it, service or price, move, thatis like it, service or price, move, that is the only way the big firms ta ke that is the only way the big firms take notice —— as always. exactly, but with your feet! take notice —— as always. exactly, but with yourfeet! —— vote. the roof space of westminster abbey — the triforium — has been described as the best view in europe. but it‘s never been open to the public. for the first time in hundreds of years, that‘s about to change. robert, what is there to see? good morning. if you imagine a loft conversion on a grand scale, this is it. the gallery packed with objects, most of which have not been seen by the public at least not for very long time. this is one of the guys who led the team. tony, you look after the collection. we 50 feet above the floor of the abbey, what we re above the floor of the abbey, what were the problem is getting people

up were the problem is getting people up here? yes, 16 metres above the floor level of the abbey so we had to build a new tower outside the south transept with a lift and a staircase to bring people up to this space. that in part was part of it and you had to basically rip everything out of what had been a loft and turn it into what we see around us here. our heating system was in here that had to go under the floor, and we had to put in balustrade so it was safe as it is higherup. we balustrade so it was safe as it is higher up. we have stupendous views which visitors will enjoy. this space has not been seen before by the public. and you have packed it with a really curious in a way but fascinating mix of objects. this is a coronation chair. william and mary. this chat was made for the coronation of 1689 when william iii and married the second were crowned asjoint monarch. it is covered in graffiti. who wrote

their names on this? mostly we think schoolboys and visitors to the abbey who inscribed their names. there is something else i have got to look at. i don‘t believe you can get to this. if you could not get the coronation of queen victoria, you could buy one of these which gave you the view that you might have had if you had been at the coronation. i hope everybody can see that, absolutely extraordinary object. there is a real mix here and we are ina part there is a real mix here and we are in a part of the gallery that does deal with coronations and the great state occasions. i am guessing that the things in this cabinet here are not the real crown jewels. they are not. they are replica regalia used for rehearsals to coronations. the participants who have to carry things in the possession hand them over and get familiar with how they look and get used to holding and carrying them. the figures down the end, ifind this rather spooky. this

is charles ii. he is not in his coronation robe, what is he wearing? the robes of the order of the garter and he is one ofa the robes of the order of the garter and he is one of a series of effigies we have which were made in connection with royal funerals and they were displayed beside the graves of the monarchs. usually in costume. these are his original clothes, his got a robe. just looking at the other two figures behind. that is really spooky. these figures stayed after the funeral. visitors could see them. what shame, that is what happens when you go into the roof of westminster abbey and no one has been allowed in. may robert can come back. maybe we can pick up again, robert. there we go, robert. much better. if

the camera goes beyond that... that is right. last question. we have seen these fantastic figures, but when you pulled up the floorboards, at yifan xu sacks of even more valuable stuff. thousands of pieces of stained glass, medieval stained glass. —— you found sacks. playing cards, a treasure trove of objects. which you had to sort! congratulations, fantastic space, we will look at it beyond breakfast, but this is an exclusive look at the gallery which opens early next month. yes. thank you very much, fascinating. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m tolu adeoye. the number of reports of vulnerable people going missing from care in london is increasing at "an alarmingly high rate." that‘s according to

the missing people charity. the bbc has obtained data which shows the met handled nearly 17,000 cases last year. up 34% since 2013. this includes children, as well as adults in nursing and residential homes. the grenfell tower inquiry will continue to hear from victims‘ families today. tributes were paid to those who died last week in a number of powerful and emotional statements. there‘s been some concern that no ministers attended, but a government spokesman says a decision was taken not to do anything that would take the focus away from friends and family. it‘s thought the average loan from parents to help children buy homes in london is now more than £30,000. that‘s according to the centre for economics and business research. it says that the money lent by parents across the country makes the so—called "bank of mum and dad" equivalent to a near £6 billion mortgage lender. a planning row between the singer robbie williams and his neighbour, the former led zeppelin guitarist jimmy page, will be heard by officials in kensington and chelsea later. mr williams wants to build a basement with a gym and a 30ft swimming pool underneath the garden of his home in west london.

but mr page, who lives next door, has told the council the proposed work would be "catastrophic." let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes — the northern line has severe delays. 0n the railway — thameslink are reporting some cancellations a knock—on from the new timetable, so check before you travel. turning to the roads — it‘s very slow northbound approaching the blackwall tunnel. 0n the m25 — the exit road atjunction 1b is shut because of a gas leak in the area. some other problems around there as a result. it‘s also very slow anticlockwise at j16 for the m40 because of a broken down car earlier. and finally, bayham street in camden is closed both ways at plender street because of an accident. let‘s have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another very warm bank holiday monday, followed by a warm

and sticky and humid night last night. we wake up this morning to a grey picture with a lot of cloud and mist and murk around, with the risk of more thundery showers. the met office has a yellow weather warnings for the showers working their way from parts of the continent. we will see this afternoon the cloud breaking and shower risks and brighter spells and maybe sunshine bursting through. temperature is not as warm today at 23 celsius. 0vernight, the low cloud and mist and fog moving across, with the risk of heavy thundery showers developing. another warm and sticky night, between 12 and 14 celsius. the shower risk continues through wednesday and thursday, with the risk of thunder as well. thursday afternoon dries out and more sunshine towards the end of the week and into the weekend. temperatures are up again to 23, maybe 24 celsius. i‘m back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the doctors and nurses who treated sergei and yulia skripal have spoken for the first time about their treatment. they say they didn‘t expect the former russian spy and his daughter to survive the nerve agent attack. we would try all of our therapies, we would ensure the best clinical care, but all the evidence was that they would not survive. good morning, it‘s tuesday, 29th may. also this morning... the obesity crisis in the classroom — 22,000 children leave primary school dangerously overweight. good morning. a £43 billion boost to the economy from drones. i‘m looking at how new flying technology could help boost growth

over the next decade. in sport, anti—gun campaigners criticise england forward raheem sterling after he posts a picture of a machine gun tattoo on his leg. he defended the image, saying it has a deeper meaning. we are live at westminster abbey for an exclusive look at a new exhibition space which has what was once described as the best view in europe. glorious inside, what about outside? we‘re off to a cloudy start, mist and fog, that will burn back to the north sea coast line allowing sunshine to develop, but rain across southern england at the moment which will move north, northwest, turning more showery, and some of the showers could be heavy and thundery, more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. medical staff who treated

sergei and yulia skripal after they were poisoned in salisbury have told the bbc they didn‘t expect them to survive. some of those who treated the former russian spy and his daughter have spoken exclusively to bbc newsnight‘s mark urban about their efforts to save them. we were just told that there‘s two patients down in the emergency department who were critically unwell and they would be coming up to the unit. it was very quickly established that the victims were yulia skripal and herfather, one—time russian spy sergei, and that the police regarded it as suspicious. i made the phone call and i spoke to the nurse in charge who had been on that night and it was a conversation that i really could never have imagined in my wildest imaginations having with anyone. at first, an opioid overdose was suspected, but as the skripals fought for their lives, the diagnosis changed to nerve agent poisoning. when we first were aware this was a nerve agent,

we were expecting them not to survive. we would try all our therapies, we would ensure the best clinical care, but all the evidence was there that they would not survive. when a policeman also fell ill, hospital staff started to wonder whether they too might be in danger. i suppose a key marker for me was when the pc was admitted with symptoms. there was a real concern as to, how big could this get? at first, it was simply a matter of keeping the skripals alive. heavily sedated, both of them were given big doses of drugs to protect them from the effects of the poison and help restart their bodies‘ production of a key enzyme. the human factor was vital too. excellent teamwork by the doctors, fantastic care and dedication by our nurses, i guess supported and supplemented a great deal by some input from really,

really well—informed international experts, which very fortunately some of whom happened to be on our doorstep at porton down. that laboratory, internationally known for its chemical weapons expertise, processed tests and offered advice on the best therapies. yulia was discharged in april and last week made a statement thanking the hospital. but it took several more weeks before sergei skripal could follow her out of salisbury district. they have been brought back from the brink of death, but questions remain about the longer term. mark urban, bbc news, salisbury. one in 25 primary school children in england aged between 10 and 11 is severely obese. the local government association has analysed data released by public health england earlier this year. it says child obesity is contributing to a multi—billion pound ill—health timebomb. the weight and height of children

in reception aged four to five and in year six when they are 10—11 is measured each year in primary schools across england. for children in reception, nearly 15,000, or around one in 40, is classed as severely obese. that rises to more than 22,000, or one in 25, for children aged 10—11. each year, more children are leaving primary school overweight, but this is the first time the national child measurement programme data has included the severely obese category. we are in the uk already the most obese nation in western europe and we have to tackle the youngsters, we have to tackle this at an early stage, if we are to make real progress in improving our nation. the local government association said the figures were a worrying wake—up call and warned that today‘s obese children risked

having their years of healthy adult life cut short by a host of health problems, including type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease. the man asked to become italy‘s prime minister is trying to put together a government as the country‘s political crisis continues. carlo cottarelli is a former director at the international monetary fund and was asked to take up the position until new elections can be held. however, the two main parties have promised to block anything he submits and have called for peaceful protests. talks between us and north korean officials continue as both sides finalise plans for a possible meeting between president donald trump and kimjong—un. the summit on 12thjune was thrown into uncertainty last week after mr trump said he would no longer be attending. earlier, we spoke to our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes from seoul. it looks like diplomatic momentum is

picking up because we have got three different things going on, the talks here near to seoul, the demilitarised zone, teams from us and north korea going to singapore to do logistics and security arrangements for the possible summit, and perhaps the most important, this morning we have learnt a man is on his way to the us, he was seen boarding an aircraft at beijing airport this morning heading for the us, and he is a very, very important person in north korea, kim jong—un‘s right—hand very, very important person in north korea, kimjong—un‘s right—hand man, former spy chief and north korea, and he accompanied kimjong—un on his recent trips to china, very important guy, very close to kim jong—un, on his way to the us, clearly for some sort of meeting with senior us officials. starbucks is closing all 8,000 of its coffee shops

in the united states today to teach staff how to avoid discriminating against customers. the training follows the wrongful arrest of two black men in a branch in philadelphia last month. 175,000 employees will spend four hours learning about unconscious bias and racism in public places. the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich, has claimed israeli citizenship. the russian billionaire flew to tel aviv to be given an identity card under the law of return which allowsjews to become citizens of israel. he‘s recently had problems extending his british visa, but holders of israeli passports are allowed to enter the uk without a visa. 0ur correspondent tom bateman is in jerusalem. how‘s this come about? take us through what has happened step—by—step. we know that he showed up up at the israeli embassy in moscow last week and officials said he turned up like any other person, and

he was interviewed by the consul and it was decided he was eligible for israeli citizenship, and he was given an immigration permit. we then know he flew into tel aviv, on a private plane, yesterday. the israeli media reported he was given an israeli identity card which effectively means he has israeli citizenship which means an israeli passport holder would be able to enter britain without needing a visa for short stays, something that russian citizens cannot do. that may be the significance, that is what some of the israeli media is speculating on. as you say, under the law of return, jews are able to claim citizenship in israel, it can be fairly straightforward. he is a frequent visitor to the country and he owns a hotel in tel aviv that he is converting into a private residence. all of this after the

delays in him renewing his in —— renewing his visa in the uk. as for his spokesman, he has declined to comment, saying it is a private matter. thank you very much. we will have the weather and the sport later. but first... jerome rogers was just 20 when he took his own life. the courier was being pursued by bailiffs for two traffic fines which escalated into hundreds of pounds of debt. his story is now the subject of a new bbc three drama, let‘s have a look at a clip from the programme. jerome? can you come down and have a chat with me and ben, please? right now? yeah. all right. thanks. i just don‘t understand what happened. how did it get so high? it was 65 quid when i first got it. yeah, so why didn‘t you pay it then?

i know. i think i left it in my satchel. yes, but you must have got more letters. i thought work would take care of it, but they said it wasn't their problem, and i tried to pay it off twice, but it got declined, so i called up and asked about payment plan and they said i needed to speak to the bailiff. mate, you've got to come to us when something like this is going on. next time, i might not have the money. it's sorted now anyway. i've setup a payment for the ticket so it's fine. and i will pay you back all of the money. but can you manage that payment? yeah, mum, it's just a couple of traffic fines. i'm paying it now. can you promise me? yeah. that some of the drama documentary. we arejoined by his that some of the drama documentary. we are joined by his family. that some of the drama documentary. we arejoined by his family. his mum, tracey, and brother, nat. i‘m so sorry for your terrible loss. what do you make of the sequence of

events that led to your son‘s—, now with a little time to reflect? —— your son‘s death. with a little time to reflect? —— your son's death. the way it happened, jim ronan tried to make an effort to pay the outstanding balance he had ——jerome. effort to pay the outstanding balance he had -- jerome. a relatively small amount of money. balance he had -- jerome. a relatively small amount of moneym was only £65, but he did not have the money to pay it. we did not know until afterwards. he tried to ring up until afterwards. he tried to ring up to ask for a payment plan, he was told no, he would have to wait for the bailiff to turn up. when they turned up, he was told no again, he could not do a payment plan and he had to pay the outstanding balance in full which he did not have. very quickly this spiralled into a larger sum of money and he felt under enormous pressure. yeah, he could no longer work, he played one of the

tickets off, then they unclamped his bike. they did not ask what his income was, his expenditure. he could not pay it. you have seen the whole documentary and you are fairly happy, is it fair to say, with the portrayal of what happened? yeah, are very accurate portrayal and the events that led to his death and the majority was taken from the information we gathered for the inquest that happened a year after his death. when i watched it, i was thinking about the issues being raised, there are quite a few, the stigma of debt and his unwillingness... he did talk to you but he also kept quite a bit to himself. there is also the fact he was working for a company on zero—hours contract, he an unpredictable income which made it

difficult for him to plan and that is explained and there is also how he was treated by the system of the debt collectors. it was not the amount of money, it was how he was treated and made to feel. what do you hope people can get out of this? you also seejerome looking at videos of people talking about debt as well, what do you hope someone will get out of this? a number of things but primarily that instead of people doing whatjerome did, looking at videos of people discussing it, we want people to do the right thing and approach the family members and friends, anyone who they feel they can confide in and speak to someone about the problems, rather than keeping and speak to someone about the problems, ratherthan keeping it and speak to someone about the problems, rather than keeping it to themselves and going down the dark path and looking at stuff online and coming to the wrong conclusion. also the companies as well in a position to offer payday loans, so to speak, or that one is asking for money,

rightly so, they want to get the money, but perhaps different training and understanding of how to approach people in trouble. yeah, there were a number of failings leading to the outcome that jerome found himself in, from the council's approach to it, only allowing two weeks to pay 50% rather than four weeks. allowing for weeks, that would significantly reduce the amount going on to bailiff companies. the council could allow people to set up a payment plan, mitigating the use of bailiffs and allowing people to do it at an earlier stage before it builds to this stressful and emotional situation. it is so hard for your family to think about how it was, he did not wa nt to think about how it was, he did not want to share. you mentioned the stigma, something builds up and it is just your stigma, something builds up and it isjust your problem stigma, something builds up and it is just your problem because that is what was happening. yes, from the

first visit in january to the second one in march, he chose not to explain how much pressure the whole situation was putting on him. we should say the coroner has taken a look at this obviously and has stated the enforcement agents acted reasonably, according to the law, and it was impossible for an agent to recognise jerome‘s and it was impossible for an agent to recognisejerome‘s level of stress. you can‘t judge to recognisejerome‘s level of stress. you can‘tjudge it. you tell me, is the issue with the actions at that point, or if they acted within the law, something needs to change there. obviously the bailiffs have regulations and they are quite wide, so they have acted within the law, but they do need to be independently regulated. they cannot take away the

tools of the trade, which is what happened into rope‘s case. tools of the trade, which is what happened into rope's case. that we know from terrible statistics and you know this personality, young men and the suicide rate is a real issue at the moment. this whole thing must come as such a shock to you. what conclusions do you draw about how to make sure people are ok because there will be people watching this morning who can be a family like yours and somebody has not spoken about something and we do not necessarily know what is going on in their lives. you have to try and recognise if somebody is in a vulnerable position emotionally to ask them and to confide in each other and get support from your family. to reach the conclusion that jerome reached and to take your own life is not the right answer and people do not realise in this situationjust how much it will affect your friends and the people

around you. so ifjust one person watches this and instead of doing whatjerome did they reach watches this and instead of doing what jerome did they reach out for help and they make a difference and it potentially helps another family not go through what we went through. in addition to that, we want to bring about the changes that are needed from the systematic problems that led tojerome's needed from the systematic problems that led to jerome's situation. the code of conduct they operate bike is just a guideline, it is not law, so as the coroner said, they acted in the law. if that is the case, they doubled the fines when they were not meant to, then something is wrong because they are not facing repercussions, but we have lost a pa rt of repercussions, but we have lost a part of our family. thank you so much for talking to us. we know it is not easy. people will be watching and hopefully talking more. we hope so. if you, or someone you know, have been affected by debt issues, you can find information and a list

of support services on the bbc website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. and if you want to see the programme, it‘s on the bbc iplayer. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. this morning it is cloudy across many parts of the uk. you will find the cloud will push back towards the north sea coastline and the mist and fog were left for many of us we will see some sunshine. but there is already ring in the forecast coming in from the southern counties and it will turn more showery and as temperatures rise, some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and potentially disruptive. we have high pressure dominating our weather and there is not much of a breeze at all. just an onshore breeze along

the north sea coastline. this has already introduced rain from kent, through sussex, the isle of wight, and heading into dorset at the moment. that will continue to push north and north—west and we will see some home—grown showers develop as well. away from those, and they are fairly hit and miss, we have a dry and sunny day. on the north sea coast there is a breeze and it will feel cool with temperatures between 13-16. in the feel cool with temperatures between 13—16. in the sunshine we are looking at temperatures easy into the low 20s and in parts of northern ireland 25 or 26. in the evening there will be a lot of clear skies and early evening sunshine. this cloud comes back in from the north sea and spreads further west. some clear skies in scotland and northern

ireland and although many of our daytime showers will fade, we will see more coming in overnight and they could be heavy and thundery with a few getting into the far north of scotland. it will not be a cold night, it will be quite a muggy night as we pushed down towards the south—east. tomorrow starts off with all this cloud around and these thunderstorms. they have come in from the south east and are moving north westerly. we will see more of them in north wales, cheshire, north midlands and in england generally. at times the cloud will thin and break and it will brighten up, but it is scotland and northern ireland once again that will see the lion‘s share of the sunshine with temperatures up to 24 or 25. by thursday there will be a lot of cloud around, thinning and breaking with sunny spells developing.

showers in northern ireland and scotla nd showers in northern ireland and scotland this time, then we have a plethora of them coming up from the south and some of those will be heavy and thundery. youtube has deleted more than half the music videos which police say are responsible for inciting a surge in violent crime across london. the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick has said that so—called ‘drill music‘ as a weapon being used by gangs to taunt each other on social media. we can talk about this with dj jetsss who is a drill music artist in london. thank you very much for talking to us. thank you very much for talking to us. hello. tell us about real music. what is it, who is a game that, who is it communicated in to?|j what is it, who is a game that, who is it communicated in to? i am quite a big fan of it and i play a lot in my sets and i was listening to it

when it started in america and it started in chicago with artists like king louis. it is mostly about violent realities with hard hip—hop beats and it has made its way to the uk recently. we have created a subgenre with it. it has our spin on it now. you say it shows the violent reality. 0ne it now. you say it shows the violent reality. one of the issues with it if it appears to show gangs inciting violence with other gangs in the video ‘s and that is why the metropolitan police has been urging youtube to take these videos down. is that in your opinion and accurate description of this music? is that pa rt description of this music? is that part of the intention?” description of this music? is that part of the intention? i would say partly yes. there are active beefs,

as we colic, between groups. but mostly i believe the artists are trying to avoid part of crime. most of them just want to be successful and come out of the situation is that they have been raised in and born into and be able to support themselves and leave that life. they wa nt to themselves and leave that life. they want to express themselves and create poetry and music through it. apologies for interrupting, but no one would ever argue with anyone who wa nts to one would ever argue with anyone who wants to make life better and use their art wants to make life better and use theirartand wants to make life better and use their art and talent to create music for others to enjoy, but if the videos are inciting violence, do you accept there is a problem? there are young, vulnerable, easily influenced people watching this thinking this is the way forward. i think we all know what is right and what is wrong with in the law and we know that violence and hurting other people is

wrong from quite a young age. if you engage in those activities, you need to be held responsible for it. we watch horror movies, but we do not go outside attacking people on the roads and hijacking cars. that is a personal choice that people make thatis personal choice that people make that is wrong. but it does need to be listened to responsibly. the people who engage in those activities need to be held responsible for that because it is wrong. if it is then portrayed in the videos alongside music do you see how it can be seen to be condoning it? yes, we look up to artists and punk artists and rap artists and punk artists and rap artists and punk artists and rap artists and we want to dress like them and we want to live this life so them and we want to live this life so that they portray, but when it does come down to crime you have to

realise what sort of consequences that will have. dressing like them and wanting to have nice jewellery like them or have the same sort of people around you like them is fine and that is healthy and have a musical idols, but engaging in crime is definitely taking it way too far, it is against the law and you will be punished for it. so you cannot really engage in it to that extent. but just listening really engage in it to that extent. butjust listening responsibly really engage in it to that extent. but just listening responsibly and buying music so these artists can leave these situations and encouraging them to keep creating i feel like is quite a positive thing, that we have music coming out of such dark situations is quite nice. that is a positive message. thank you for talking to me. thank you for

having me. thank you for having me. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. staying warm with the potential for thundery downpours through the next few days. a bit of a great start with mist and fog for many of us but it will brighten up and there was somejohn it will brighten up and there was some john inman forecast, particularly in the north—west. warm and again today —— there is some sunshine in the forecast. thundery downpours in the south. not everyone will see one, but it could be heavy, if you catch one. sunny spells in england and wales but cloudier than yesterday, the best of sunshine by northwest scotland and northern ireland, temperatures at a maximum

of 24, 25 in the south—east, we could see 26 in the north—west. this evening and overnight, the showers died out for a time, turning cloudy from the east, mist and fog developing, showery outbreaks in the south—east in the early hours, a fairly humid night with temperatures generally staying in double figures. afairamount of generally staying in double figures. a fair amount of cloud tomorrow, mist and fog rolling back to coastal areas, the best of the sunshine again for northwest scotland, northern ireland, some showery outbreaks of rain working northwest and pushing into northern england, southern scotland later on. temperatures on wednesday at a maximum of 23. it will stay warm as we move into thursday are still firmly in the air mass. potential on thursday first further thundery downpours. fairly hit and miss but

they could cause some disruption and they could cause some disruption and the possibility of seeing one or two further north. a warm day again. this is business live from bbc news with alice baxter and david eades. shares in asia fall and the euro hovers at a six—month low as the prospect of fresh elections in italy grows. live from london, that‘s our top story on tuesday, 29th may. the italian economist carlo cottarelli agrees to lead
