simply wouldn't work. the problem began in the afternoon, appearing to largely affect electronic payments rather than cash machine withdrawals. many shoppers took to social media to complain, with the company forced to apologise. these people in droitwich said it wasn't just customers who were caught out. you can tell the staff are on tenterhooks, the manager'sjumping and down. he's being a bit firm with his staff because it's territory they're not used to being in i think. there was a couple in front of us, and we hear that all the cashpoints there... all the cards were down, and apparently it was all over the world. so i was, like, panicking. i've just gone on to barclays bank to get some money out. payment processing through visa systems accounts for £1 of every £3 of all uk spending, that adds up to a lot of unhappy customers. by friday night, the company said their cards were now largely working at normal levels and that the... as a nation, we're using

cards more than ever. that's why friday's events left so many of us frustrated. but experts say it would be wise to have some back—up payment optionsjust in case, that's cash to you and me. the consumer group which has warned people to be wary of any phone calls or e—mails about the visa problems. they mayjust be fraudsters trying to use the event to gain your personal details. john mcmanus, bbc news. donald trump has announced that his summit with the north korean leader, kim jong—un, is back on and will take place later this month in singapore. nine days ago, the president abruptly cancelled the meeting, blaming what he described as the "open hostility" displayed by pyongyang. but yesterday diplomatic relations improved after a letter from the north korean leader was delivered to the white house.

we can get more now from hywel griffith, who is in seoulfor us. so we're back to packing are sick cases. absolutely, the world is waiting and watching. people will be trying to decipher some of the m essa 9 es trying to decipher some of the messages given by president trump, not least people in seoul who want to know about the future of the peninsular. he talked about the meeting being a process, getting to know each other. don't expect a definitive deal on denuclearisation. the key issue for the future of this region. the us have been talking about irreversible denuclearisation and we know that north korea wants it to happen on stage by stage. one thing that was proffered and would be hugely significant for this region would be a peace treaty, an

end to the 65 year stalemate between north and south korea. donald trump reckons that's something he can deliver. he is known, of course, for the deals he does. the bbc has learned that police have reopened an investigation into one of the central figures in the jeremy thorpe scandal of the 19705, which is currently the subject of the bbc drama a very english scandal. gwent police, who'd been reviewing the original case, concluded three years ago that the gunman who claimed he was hired to kill mr thorpe's former lover, norman scott, had died. but police now say the alleged hit man may be alive. the revelations come in a new bbc four documentary called the jeremy thorpe scandal, due to be shown tomorrow evening. we'll be talking to its presenter before 9:30. it's a fascinating story.

finance ministers from the g7 group of nations have criticised new us tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. speaking during talks in the canadian resort of whistler, the chancellor, philip hammond, said the move was "worrying" and his canadian counterpart said us claims that the duties protected its national security were "absurd". the rmt union has called for the transport secretary, chris grayling, to resign following days of delays and cancellations on trains in the south and north—west of england. the government are blaming network rail for leaving it too late to finalise new timetables. earlier on breakfast, robert nisbet from the rail delivery group told us that all the companies were now working on solutions. network rail, northern, gdr, they have let down passengers and now it's up to the industry to make things right and give certainty to customers, hence the interim timetables, which will see a number of services reduced but overall there will be

more trains than before the recent timetable change. a man is due in court this morning charged with the murders of two well—known criminals in the north—west of england. paul massey, who was known by the nickname "mr big", was shot dead outside his home in salford in 2015. john kinsella was killed while walking his dog near st helens last month. 37—year—old mark fellows will appear before south sefton magistrates‘ court charged with two counts of murder. the new prime minister of spain, pedro sanchez, will officially be sworn into office today, less than 2a hours after forcing out the former leader, mariano rajoy. the head of the socialist party won the backing of several other parties to bring his motion of no confidence against mr rajoy. the bbc‘s europe reporter gavin lee is in madrid for us now. gavin, what's the mood there? it's been able to mould shoeless few

days, hasn't it. are things going to calm down a bit now? —— tumultuous few days. given that this is unprecedented, what the new prime minister pedro sanchez talks about is resetting the buttons of government and bringing about reforms. not on the budget or key things that would make european leaders unhappy, but this is a com plete leaders unhappy, but this is a complete change, one of europe's seemingly unsha keable complete change, one of europe's seemingly unshakeable leaders. there have been many calls for him to resign, linked to the people's parties, a high courtjudge saying there was widespread corruption. pedro sanchez brought about the

motion of no confidence yesterday, mariano rajoy vented out. in less than an hour pedro sanchez will meet the king to be sworn in. the papers talking about a government which is rudderless. that's because six other parties agree to this motion against mariano rajoy. the other question is how long this government can last. thank you. the rmt union has called for the transport secretary, chris grayling, to resign following days of delays and cancellations on trains in the south and north—west of england. northern rail is introducing an emergency timetable from monday scrapping i65 daily train services until the end ofjuly. they are hoping they can get on top of things and get things moving again. services in the lake district have been particularly hard hit. we're joined by the chair of the lakes line rail user group,

robert talbot, and rebecca herrisone who commutes between carnforth in lancashire and manchester. good morning. what's it been like, rebecca? it has becoming free singly impossible to try to get to work. although northern rail is blaming the new timetable, actually we've been having significant problems with her reliability since november. since april it's become ridiculous. every morning you're waiting to see if your train is cancelled. it's often taking two and a half hours, and our long journey is taking that long because you can get partway through your journey and long because you can get partway through yourjourney and the train is cancelled. or multiple services are cancelled on the way in and it becomes very, very stressful because you can't get to work on time. what impact has that had on your life and work? it gets to the point where you think we're going to have to move into manchester. i work at the

university and i commuted for 12 yea rs. university and i commuted for 12 years. when trans—pennine was running the servers it was extremely reliable but since northern took over its got worse and worse. with the new timetable, although they say they are improving services, actually it's made life impossible for commuters. both myself and a lot of other commuters no longer have services that will get us in before 9am. a similar experience to you in the lakes, you've been in that area for a number of years and you know it well. indeed. the locals are voting with their feet. they are very resourceful and they get alternative modes of transport to get to work, to school and so on. but the poor visitor who turns up on a relatively new train and is confronted by is it a train, is it a bus, and if it is a train its 30 years old, it is a problem. going

forward , years old, it is a problem. going forward, they say 165 trains will be reduced. all 34 of our trains as from monday, it will be a suspended timetable. we seem to be taking a disproportionate hit. the worst of the area is definitely the northwest but we are taking this disproportionate hit, really. what impact does it have on the area? our mp tim farron is very concerned about students and pupils getting to school to do their exams will stop about 125 are travelling each morning. if, come monday morning, they have to get a bus, and if there is insufficient capacity that represents quite a problem. they

might have to wait for the next service to transport them. we would love to have northern here today, they aren't available. i know they are very busy but we've put in that request. we spoke earlier to the rail delivery group who speak and a half of the train companies across the country, and they've apologised profusely. they say we are getting a cts profusely. they say we are getting acts together, the emergency timetables will help us cope and ultimately will all be better off as rail users. i'm afraid this is no longer washes. they treat their customers with absolute contempt. they've apologised, haven't they? they've apologised, haven't they? they don't respond, if you send a complaint to northern, they don't respond. they frankly not interested in customers. i'm afraid a weak apology now is absolutely no compensation for what we are going through. and for the daily cattle

truck service that they are providing even when the trains run. they always run short form services so they always run short form services so half the time people can't get on the train ‘s. so half the time people can't get on the train 's. we've been hearing from many viewers getting in touch with us about this. not only is it about getting from a to b, but the distress you feel by not only being late but not turning up on time, and the panic. talk me through how you would describe the impact on you personally. speaking from the perspective of a number of commuters that i know, i know people who are spending hundreds and hundreds of pounds on hotels because they can't guarantee they'll be able to get to work on time. there comes a point where you can't write another e—mail to your boss saying you're going to be late again and you're going to miss this meeting again. on a daily basis, this is what we are going through. let alone the distress of a train eventually turning up and you just don't know if you can get on

it, because there are so many people on the platform. there's also added time. ajenny on the platform. there's also added time. a jenny that on the platform. there's also added time. ajenny that should take one hour taking three times as long as that —— a journey that should take one hour. i know some people who can easily spend 4—5 hours getting home because services are cancelled. by the time you've done that and you've had three orfour the time you've done that and you've had three or four hours added to your journey had three or four hours added to yourjourney time, you get to the point, and i do it all the time, i'm a lwa ys point, and i do it all the time, i'm always ringing my partner saying i can't take this any more. you really shouldn't be... your life shouldn't be that stressful just because shouldn't be... your life shouldn't be that stressfuljust because of shouldn't be... your life shouldn't be that stressful just because of a rail commute. it's supposed to be straightforward and ecological friendly and it's just becoming impossible. thank you both. you aren't getting the train home, are you? unfortunately not! i am. good luck! it is stressful, even talking

about it. a lot of you are getting in touch saying it's notjust the north of england. there have been issues and —— issues and southern. it affects a lot of the country. there is hope. the weather is looking good. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it's a cracking start to the weekend for some. this is the scene in aberdeenshire. this was perfect in the last half an hour. there has been some heavy rain developing through the night and into the morning and there are some further thunderstorms developing. let's take a look at the details. the rain in suffolk is due to this cloud across germany and the netherlands. it is 110w germany and the netherlands. it is flow across germany and the netherlands. it is now across suffolk, east midlands. we still have some heavy downpours pushing towards north—west england.

mainly away towards the coast. further inland it should be dry. lots of sunshine in the southern counties, a better day today. sunshine between the showers elsewhere. this is where we will see those nasty thunderstorms. they will be slow—moving. don't treat the position too literally. a few gutted showers and thunderstorms in northern ireland as well. —— scattered showers. it does look like the worst of the storms will be on the worst of the storms will be on the eastern side of the pen —— pennines. into tonight the storms continue for a time but they will largely fade away. still likely to see some rain at times. turning increasingly misty in northern and eastern scotland, down into eastern

counties of england too. fresher in the south compared to what we've had of late. a lovely day for many and sunday will stop a small chance of a shower in the isles of scilly and cornwall. more cloud in northern ireland but the chance of a few further showers and thunderstorms, not as many as over the past few days or today. a quick look ahead to next week, high pressure to the north—west which means winds are coming off the north sea so not quite as warm as it has been of late. we'll pick up some more low cloud, bringing it in lent. monday may start grey and drizzly and misty in many areas. continuing through eastern coastal counties. some sunny spells. into next week we've lost the storms, maybe not quite as hot as it has been but pleasant in the sunshine nonetheless. thank you very much indeed. what are

you doing tomorrow evening? i'll be watching this. tomorrow evening, millions of us will tune into bbc one to see hugh grant and ben whishaw in the final part of a very english scandal. the drama tells the story of former liberal leaderjeremy thorpe, accused of conspiring to murder his former gay lover norman scott. now, in a timely exclusive, the bbc‘s panorama has learnt that a police investigation into the attempted murder is to be re—opened. former panorama journalist tom mangold covered the case in 1979 for a programme that never made it to air, but he returns to the story in a documentary this weekend, which includes some of his originalfootage. today, norman scott lives in a rented cottage

on the edge of dartmoor. he has retained a lot of horses. in fact, it was through horses that he first metjeremy thorpe. scott was then living in oxfordshire, training as what's known as a working pupil at the stables of a professional showjumper. one day, 18 years ago, thorpe was on a visit to the stables and met scott at the stable door. the two men started to talk. well, i was a very naive and a shy person who was reallyjust involved with horses. i can't really say how i felt. he wasjust a person above me in every way, socially and in every way. i was just a person working in a stables, so... i was a bit in awe of him, i suppose. former panorama journalist tom mangold joins us from our london newsroom. welcome to the programme. where to

start, finally it's seen the light of day. described to me the feeling when you know that all the work you did, you put it to bed for a number of years and it's now coming to light. on the night that jeremy thorpe walked free, i was probably the most disappointed man in the whole of europe. we worked so hard on that documentary, we had so much amazing new material about the cover—up to protect jeremy amazing new material about the cover—up to protectjeremy thorpe. when the verdict came in i couldn't believe it. i was then ordered to destroy my copy of the film. i didn't do that because i don't go around destroying films. i kept it asa around destroying films. i kept it as a dhs tape and then transferred it to disk. then my dog tried to eat it to disk. then my dog tried to eat it but i managed to stop her. it's running tomorrow night at 10pm on bbc four. the edited at the time told you to get rid of all the

footage, your dog tried to eat it. this is a heavy dose of pressure to put the story to bed. you didn't but to be fair you didn't think this moment would happen, did you?” didn't but on the other hand i kept the film. i thought maybe one day. then my producer steve anderson knew about the film and several weeks ago he thought there would be a month of jeremy thorpe, once he heard about the drama. he and ifinally jeremy thorpe, once he heard about the drama. he and i finally revived oui’ the drama. he and i finally revived our film, the drama. he and i finally revived ourfilm, and the drama. he and i finally revived our film, and got the drama. he and i finally revived ourfilm, and got it going. in the course of that we came across a brand—new story which is an allegation has been made that a statement which confirmed the conspiracy to murder... excuse me. a statement made to scotland yard detectives confirming the conspiracy to murder has since been

"disappeared", and an anodyne statement put in its place. when i revealed that, gwent police decided to mountan revealed that, gwent police decided to mount an investigation into that allegation. the investigation has been somewhat ineffectual, they concluded that andrew newton, the man who shot norman scott's dog, that andrew newton was now dead. well, they seem to have got that wrong and they are now saying andrew newton may be alive. they've reopened the entire investigation into what is a very serious set of allegations. forgive me if interrupting, as is now coming to light there are so many different tangents of conversation that have transpired from your original investigation. and we can see a clip from the documentary now of you talking to norman scott. it looks as if andrew newton may

still be alive, despite the fact that gwent police and the cps confirmed his death. what do you make of that? i don't think anybody has tried hard enough to look for him,| has tried hard enough to look for him, i really don't. there must be people who knew him, and there would surely be a record of him dying. surely. i thought they were doing something at last, and soon found out that absolutely they weren't, they would continuing the cover—up as farasi they would continuing the cover—up as far as i can see. that's norman scott in conversation with you. we know this has been dramatised into a very english scandal, what is your ta ke very english scandal, what is your take on the show? i think the drama has been very good, it's been nuanced. but it is a drama, and it

is not entirely 100% accurate. which is not entirely 100% accurate. which is why i think it will be helpful for the people who have enjoyed the drama, and i'm one of them, to see the real thing with all the real interviews, with the real people on sunday night. hats off to you for sticking by your story. as every journalist knows there's an element of perseverance. congratulations on that. we look forward to your documentary. thank you so much for talking us through it. the jeremy thorpe scandal is on bbc four this sunday at 10pm. that is after the final episode of the drama, a very english scandal. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. delighted to say justin

delighted to sayjustin is here to guide us through what he found inside the papers. what have you found? the trade war is going to be an important story over the next few weeks. we all know about aluminium and steel tariffs that trump's organisation has imposed on it. what are we going to be going back with? is it going to affect? is going to be harley— davidson riders is it going to affect? is going to be harley—davidson riders wearing jeans drinking bourbon with orange juice. trade tariffs, it's bad for the economy. it would be bad for the american economy and the european economy. this is very short—sighted stuff. and huge financial cost. the markets are looking at this really

closely as well. individual companies will be affected on both sides of the antics. our steel industry which has been recovering as the steel price gets better. what this will do is end up distorting global steel and you'll end up with cheaper still coming into the market and causing more problems against quite —— cheaper steel. and causing more problems against quite -- cheaper steel. what is this about? you know these adverts you see for over 50s life insurance and paying for your funeral. the government is launching an investigation into funeral plans. this is about these adverts were you get a free pen. when you look at the returns on some of get a free pen. when you look at the returns on some of these, four example you put in £3000 and you get back £1800 back. this is not exactly the sort of life plan you're

expecting. there a series of examples. you'd probably be better off saving the money in an ordinary deposit account than with one of these. the sun refers to it as a rip—off. i have to say, it is. with or without the free pen! they've been campaigning on that. when you've picked this out about our rivers from the daily mail.” you've picked this out about our rivers from the daily mail. i was looking at the river here and it's not looking particularly good this morning. there is a picture in the mail about the river don. on the right—hand side that's it nice and clear. don't be full, 15 minutes down whether it hasn't changed. it's all gone down there and you can see the mess down there. they've shoved it to one side? they've shoved it down the river by the look of it. obviously this gets worse in heavy

rain. you can see in the river outside here today a lot of logs and staff have been coming down causing mayhem to the unfortunate rovers trying to get themselves up the river. this is a great photograph. it doesn't look real. i still think it's photo shopped. here is the roo. he's standing there holding the flag! i think it's perfect. they should become members of the club.” don't think they'll be coming to any golf club near you because this is australia. they aren't necessarily the kindest creatures. they could be wacky new wave at the head with that poll. i think it adds adventure to golf! i'm sure that naga would

disagree! laughter we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when the hairy bikers take over in the saturday kitchen. dave and si, what's on the menu for us? good morning! our special guests today are all for farming festivals and food, it's the fabulousjimmy doherty! you have to face food heaven food hell later so tell us what tastes heavenly to use. crab curry, sri lankan crab curry. i love spice. and what is hell? a lot of people will think this is nuts. i'm not a big fan of either sweet and chocolate cake or marzipan. two great chefs are here. what's on the menu today? macro with radish and gooseberries. —— mackerel.

menu today? macro with radish and gooseberries. -- mackerel. what are you cooking? i'm doing lamb kebabs, tender melt in your mouth with pomegranate and saffron. olly smith is in charge of the drinks. a bit of wine and then maybe a cocktail or a beer! you guys at home in charge of food heaven food held the jimmy. we will see you at ten o'clock. i am hungry! we have cold coffee! at least we have something. and the headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast

withjon kay and babita sharma. now a summary of this morning's main news. visa's payment system is now said to be operating at "full capacity" following a hardware failure which prevented businesses processing card payments across the uk and europe yesterday. the company has apologised to customers, saying it recognises that it "fell well short" of its goals. visa said the disruption wasn't down to any unauthorised access or cyber attack. donald trump has announced that his summit with the north korean leader, kim jong—un, is back on and will take place later this month in singapore. nine days ago, the president abruptly cancelled the meeting, blaming what he described as the "open hostility" displayed by pyongyang.

but yesterday diplomatic relations improved after a letter from the north korean leader was delivered to the white house. the bbc has learned that police have reopened an investigation into one of the central figures in the jeremy thorpe scandal of the 19705, which is currently the subject of the bbc drama 'a very english scandal‘. gwent police, who'd been reviewing the original inquiry, concluded three years ago that the gunman who claimed he was hired to kill mr thorpe's former lover, norman scott, had died. but police now say the alleged hitman may be alive. the rmt union has called for the transport secretary, chris grayling, to resign following days of delays and cancellations on trains in the south and north—west of england. the government are blaming network rail for leaving it too late to finalise new timetables. the new prime minister of spain, pedro sanchez, will officially be sworn into office today,

less than 24 hours after forcing out his predecessor, mariano rajoy. the head of the socialist party won the backing of several other parties to win his motion of no confidence after mr rajoy‘s conservative party became implicated in a corruption scandal. we all know dashboard cameras are usefulfor capturing bad driving and accidents but sometimes they spot something extraordinary. such as this footage of a student pilot making an emergency landing on a busy street in los angeles. have a look at that again. she avoided hitting power lines and cars as she made the descent in her cessna plane just before 5pm yesterday evening after suffering from engine problems. notjust engine problems i would say! wow. it is amazing that the road in la with clear enough to

land. those are the main stories this morning. now it's time for a look at the sport. and the cricket to start with. yes, revved up by comments from michael vaughan but a great turnaround after the first test match. michael vaughan said he potentially should have been dropped to shake things up in the team but broad took it up with him and they had it out on the phone. a bit of motivation. and it clearly worked. stuart broad responding in the best way possible with three wickets, james anderson with three wickets and chris woakes also taking three as england bounced back after the first test, pakistan all out for 174. as england prepare to resume on 106—2, broad says he feels the comments were unfair. i've always enjoyed listening to punditry. i think it's really interesting when you hear different people's

opinions and i've always been very open to criticism when it has come my way, when i feel it's fair. i think this week there was not a huge amount of logic in it, it did disappoint me slightly. only two test matches ago i picked up eight wickets in christchurch. i think it was... it was disappointing to read those comments but that's sort of the world we live in. england will want to build on that strong start when they begin later. talk of tatoos will be put to one side later as gareth southgate's england play the first of two friendlies, before departing for the world cup in russia. nigeria the opponents at wembley this evening. david ornstein is with the team. england's path to the world cup has been smooth, but with the tournament now fast approaching, the scrutiny has intensified. this week, raheem sterling moved to defend himself after revealing a tattoo of an assault rifle on his right leg.

amid criticism from anti—gun campaigners, sterling said the artwork had a deeper meaning, that his father was shot dead when the player was just two years old and he made a promise never to touch a gun in his life. he understands how some people have perceived the tattoo, but in my view a tattoo is like any work of art, it's a very individual medium. he's not somebody that supports or wants to promote guns. this is a youthful england squad. the household names of the past are gone, so too perhaps the shackles of previous tournament failures. the nation will be behind us no matter what. the group of lads we've got now, you know, it's a high—profile group. many talents in the group. i think we've got a good chance of going far this year. the focus is clear — to succeed where so many have fallen short.

expectations may be low, but spirits are high as england attempt to close in on football's greatest prize. david ornstein, bbc news, hertfordshire. the england players clearly enjoying themselves and let's hope that tra nslates themselves and let's hope that translates onto the pitch. kick—off is at 5:15pm, and it's well worth taking a look at the world cup kit nigeria will be wearing, it's so in demand, there been over 3 million orders for it! what do you think? arsenal's alex iwobi modelling it here. he doesn't look too impressed. he is just focused! it sold out online so quickly, fans were queuing for four hours before nike's shop opened on oxford street yesterday, to try and get their hands on one in store. that is what the kit was in 1994 so it isa that is what the kit was in 1994 so it is a bit ofa that is what the kit was in 1994 so it is a bit of a mars to that one.

you have got to love the new one —— a hot marsh. the five—time paralympic champion ellie simmonds has criticised british swimming after she returned to elite action in sheffield last night. simmonds put in a european championship qualification standard performance at the british para—swimming international meet. she'd taken time away after the rio games, saying she "hated" the sport, and says that the governing body hasn't been there to support her. i think it's because i had something to prove to british swimming, because they've not been there for me at all this past couple of years. i'm doing it solo, well, not solo, but with a great team around me but ijust wanted to prove them wrong and that i'm still there. british swimming chose not to respond to those comments were approached by the bbc. it's the sport in which the passenger gets a rough ride. sidecar—cross will change all you thought you knew about motorbike sidecars. the british championship continues this month and mike bushell has been to hampshire to meet

the team for whom this unique style of racing is a family affair. it is not a typical way for a dad to spend time with his daughter at the weekend but this bone crunching sport will shake up much of what you thought that you knew about sidecars which were originally popular as cheap alternatives to the motorcar. it's brilliant. where else can you spend an entire day with your teenage daughter and really enjoy yourselves? off the track dad is in charge but on the track i'm in charge. we shout at each other occasionally. she sometimes tells me because i'm going too fast or hit a bump too hard but it works really well. this could not be more different than the traditional image of a sidecar. it is sidecar—cross and the passengers are not just there for the ride. in sidecar—cross the passenger

is in the most precarious position, throwing their weight around on the back. brian and his daughter spent years watching until clarissa suggested forming a team. the first time we took it out for a run and started it up we drove into a tree within ten seconds! do you think he is mad to do it? kind of. we did have a few scares, especially at the start with all the noise and the others with you but it's great. it is notjust beginners who come a cropper, there is often carnage around every corner. it is painful. you spend a whole race behind someone and your face can become numb because of the stones hitting you, you can have a fat lip, bleeding gums, and i thoroughly enjoy that! not exactly what i want to hear before my first lap as a passenger! it's about transferring your weight. you have to switch over and take a seat like that.

what do you need to be a good passenger? more fitness and strength. i'm not massively strong in my arms but you've got to be pretty agile and fast moving. this is where i've got to do the work and lean over as brian turns the corner, over onto this side and transfer the weight. back to the middle. by the end ofjust one lap, my arms felt locked in position, my knees were like jelly. do you want yourjob back? it's all yours! i can see what you do, congratulations. i want iwanta i want a go! he i wanta go! he is i want a go! he is braver than i am! who goes where? the lighter

person... but the weight as well, you need some extra weight. some ballast. where will i go? i want to drive! ami ballast. where will i go? i want to drive! am i the ballast? yes! thank you very much for this morning. there are cetrain comedy sketches that achieve such universal fame that they can be recognised in just a couple of words. there's monty python's "dead parrot", morecambe and wise's "breakfast scene" and of course, the two ronnies "fork handles". such is the sketch‘s popularity that one bidder at an auction in bristol yesterday forked out £28,000 for ronnie barker's original script. let's have a quick listen to some of those classic lines. bell rings. fork 'andles. four candles? here you are, four candles.

no, fork 'andles. well, there you are, four candles. no, fork 'andles. handles for forks. laughter. got any plugs? plugs? yeah. what kind of plugs? a rubber one, bathroom. laughter. what size? 13 amp. laughter.

comedian barry cryer was one of the founding members of the two ronnies' writing team. hejoins us from his home in north london. i was watching you as you were watching the sketch and you still had a big smile watching it. what is it about that sketch that has made it about that sketch that has made it such an important part of our comedy history? that particular sketch? yes. i was so that they founder member of the two ronnies, i met ronnie barker and i'd worked with one cupboard and got them together and you look at that sketch, ronnie barker unselfishly hand over the whole sketch to ronnie corbett because ronnie barker is doing the feed lines and ronnie corbett is acting on the mounting

irritation and anger behind the counter is brilliant. it is an amazing shop if you think about it, the range of stuff they sell! you think, is this still a hardware store?! and ronnie barker himself actually, i'm betraying confidence here, he was not happy with the last line which was, bill hooks. he didn't like it? no, he wasn't satisfied with it. he said it drove him mad trying to think of a last line for it. one of the ones he came up line for it. one of the ones he came up with with big knockers but we won't go into that! that would not be allowed now, i'm sure! he reckoned, ronnie told me once someone told him they had overheard that actual line in a hardware store. no, no, handles forforks,

and he thought, there might be a whole sketch and we all know what happened. what has now happened is the original handwritten script has sold for £28,000 at an auction yesterday. as somebody who loves british comedy, can you understand why somebody would pay that amount of money to own something like that? the president has been set and it follows on alsojohn lennon's scribbles on paper of the lyrics of the beatles songs sold for enormous amount of money. people represent it asa amount of money. people represent it as a symbol of something i suppose. talking of which, i must dig up some bits of paper, they might be worth a few quid! you might be sitting on a fortune! look in the cabinet behind you! you could have all sorts in there. indeed. it's amazing the

world we live in, what sells for a huge amount of money these days. and what is it about the two ronnies themselves, not just the what is it about the two ronnies themselves, notjust the sketch, but themselves, notjust the sketch, but the fact that they are almost as big today as they were on their peak. people watching youtube and looking back at all of those sketches. yes, the thing about the two ronnies, they have it in common with morecambe and wise and tommy cooper and so on, they were not topical, there were not often specific references to names or topics of the time, so it does not date. they are still just funny. and a time, so it does not date. they are stilljust funny. and a subsequent generation can enjoy them like we did. and all the word play as well like we just heard in the fork handles sketch. a little bird told me that ronnie barker helps you buy that house you are in this morning.

yes, indeed. and talking of word play, that was ronnie barker's great skill, messing around with words. when he would do a monologue in the show, it often involved a spoonerism or something or mangling words. he was an actor who was brilliant at comedy and ronnie corbett who was a comedian who was a brilliant actor and you could not plan it. they came together and look what happened. we knew it very early on, that this chemistry was working. and the rest is tv comedy history. barry, thank you so much forjoining us this morning. great to hearfrom you and your insight of those days. a golden era of tv, so special. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. you're going to give us the same, not sure about the weather? a bit ofa

a bit of a mix, a bit ofa mix, sunshine a bit of a mix, sunshine this morning but others have seen the rain already and there will be severe storms developing later in the afternoon. the risk of minor flooding here or there. the rain is linked to this cloud spreading in from northern europe which brought storms to northern germany and the netherlands yesterday and it has produced heavy rain in east anglia and part of linkage, the north east midlands and yorkshire. also around merseyside but the showers are clearing. through the day, a lot of sunshine in the south and wales, and in scotland, but the storm clouds will pop up. looking at this afternoon, the storms in scotland will be mainly inland, still got a big gaps with many staying dry. the storms are slow—moving because of the light winds and hence the risk of flooding. more cloud in northern england, not as much sunshine between the showers and storms which will be mainline —— mainly to the

east of the pennines. cooler under the cloud, the high teens, but up to 25 degrees with the sunshine in parts of the south midlands, wales and southern england. tonight the storms will gradually fade away for most but some showers in northern england, scotland and northern ireland perhaps. quite misty and fairly humid in the north. in the south, clearer skies, the odd bit of mist and fog but fresher than the past few mornings. a lot of sunshine to start the day and it will be sunny and fined by and large. a shower or too close to cornwall, more cloud in scotland and northern ireland and northern england with sunny breaks but always the chance ofa sunny breaks but always the chance of a couple of showers or storms but not many and most places will stay dry with temperatures in the high teens up to the mid—20s. into next week, the high pressure is towards the north—west and with the winds flowing clockwise it means cooler

air flow flowing clockwise it means cooler airflow compared flowing clockwise it means cooler air flow compared to this week. temperatures are not as high, a lot of low cloud and mistiness to begin with in central and eastern areas which will continue through the day in some eastern counties but in the west, isolated showers, mostly dry, sunny spells and still pleasantly warm if not quite as hot as late. a quick look back in may, you might already know this but considering we had two bank holidays and a royal wedding, provisional stats say it was the warmest on record and the sunniest. not bad end to spring. enjoy your day. and hopefully that is not it! thank you very much. sunniest on record, we love that. but summer is here now. it is beginning on monday. you know why. it can't really be summer without this. it was the tv hit show

of last summer. love island will be the subject of conversation in the next eight weeks. if you haven't experienced it before, the concept is very simple: a dozen impossibly tanned and toned singletons decamp to a spanish villa for eight weeks, seeking love and a £50,000 cash prize. let's take a look. ten singletons arrived at our brand—new villa to face the obvious question. are you ready for love? all: yeah! then we sent in a load of man meat. camilla. ah! she was my first choice. chloe's dated your best friend, yet you'd still go there? she's a nice girl. go on, man. marcel and olivia! if we actually get along... fall in love, yeah. operation amber is a—go. girls, this evening to new boys will enter the villa and you'll host the welcoming party! screams.

johnny is obviously very attractive. is there anyone you're going to go after? well, i feel like i'm getting on with you all right. what goes on tour stays on tour! oh, my god! christmas came early this year! i am actually in love with you, i am. i think i am. it was massive on telly last summer and they are expecting it to be massive again. and last year's love island winner, amber davies joins us now. when it comes to winners can you deserve the. thank you so much. it was so successful, did you ever imagined it would be that way? absolutely no idea, you are in a bubble when you are there and when

we came out our lives changed so much but it was amazing how successful it was, just 22 normal human beings. you go into a villa for a bit of fun and you know it will be on telly. a year on, how has your life changed ? will be on telly. a year on, how has your life changed? what is it like now? beyond belief. ifeel so grateful love island has given me such incredible opportunities. i have done things i never thought i would do and they have been massive dreams to me. by the age of 2011 had my own clothing range, i have been to evenings like the pride of britain and it has been the most incredible year. hopefully it will continue. you are stilljust 21! and incredible last 12 months. i want to ask you what the secret formula is and why it attracted so many people to watch? i think it isjust such a fun and easy show to watch. everyone

can relate to relationships, everybody has been hurt and everybody has been hurt and everybody has been in love. i think you relate to it and you follow these people are building a connection, following their relationship and it is just lovely to watch for the did you feel exploited a bit? i know you're getting a free holiday, but did you feel that your most private moments... you do forget about it. you move into this villa for eight weeks, there is only these people, no entertainment, social media, music. you become a family and you forget about the cameras even being on also do you really? when you're having these intimate moments? yes, you do. they are hidden away and you become so comfortable and you honestly forget. these intimate moments, they are natural, when you like somebody. that was played out on screen but there was a whole drama attached to it when you get

the public notoriety, if you like, that comes with social media. when you unfriended him it went viral and made headlines! having a relationship in the public eye is so intense. it is like under a massive magnifying glass. you just have to be really careful you do, if you have a delete argument... nothing can prepare you for that. —— a silly argument. everything you do is being scrutinised and commented on in the gossip pages. that cannot all be nice. one thing to do anyone is that you cannot prepare yourself for it. you get thrown into the public eye overnight. it is so intense and crazy, you have to have incredibly thick skin will stop the world would not go around it everybody loved eve ryo ne not go around it everybody loved everyone so you have to take the love with the hate. but the love is

much stronger than the hate, that is what i tell everyone. how are things with you and ken? we at civil. we experienced such a massive thing in our lives together and we will a lwa ys our lives together and we will always have that connection. but exes and exes, there is a whole new show in that! thank you and good luck. love island returns on monday night. that it from us, we will see you soon. goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 10:00. visa says its services are now operating at full capacity, after customers across europe were left unable to make payments. president trump's summit with north korea is back on, confirmation after kim jong—un's envoy delivers a large letter to donald trump. the us defence secretary accuses china of trying to intimidate its neighbours by deploying missiles in disputed areas of the south china sea. also coming up, new developments in the jeremy thorpe scandal
