disruption. what are you seeing? the last couple of weeks have brought plenty of frustration. these timetable changes came into play on may 20. the idea is to improve capacity in the long—term. there have been so many short—term disruptions that thameslink, including southern, gatwick, great northern, 20%, many come through this station. because of that, they say they will withdraw 165 services from the timetable in the short—term. they say this will avoid the last minute cancellations which are proving so difficult and disruptive to people when they turn up disruptive to people when they turn up at the station and find their train is cancelled. they say they can train is cancelled. they say they ca n allow

train is cancelled. they say they can allow a service that is easier to plan around. we will talk to them later to see whether that plan has actually worked. disruption in the north of england as well. yes. services affecting parts of manchester, liverpool, blackpool. more than 2000 services in the last fortnight have been cancelled via northern rail. and today, another emergency timetable. 116 services also being removed from the timetable. it has been a very, very disruptive period of time for travellers in that part of the country as well. and the labour mp for wigan has been telling us about the impact it has had on many of her constituent. the level of human misery in the last few weeks because of this chaos has been unprecedented. constituents have been unable to pick up children from school. wind was unable to get home

to his disabled wife in time to take over from carers. “— to his disabled wife in time to take overfrom carers. “ 0ne. to his disabled wife in time to take overfrom carers. —— one. one has a final warning from work. hundreds and hundreds more are battling misery every single dayjust trying to get to work. the labour mp for weekend talking about the disruption she has witnessed. —— wigan. some people are making their way through here trying to find out if the timetable is having its desired effect. we'll be speaking to the managing director of northern in his first tv interview since the crisis started in just over an hour's time. please get in touch if you have been affected and if you have questions for him. information about people suspected of being under the influence of extremists is to be shared more widely, and more quickly, under a new strategy launching today. in his first major speech as home secretary, sajid javid will announce a change in the government's counter—terrorism strategy to deal with what he calls a shift in the threat faced by the uk.

0ur political correspondent, chris mason, has more. pausing to remember one year on. yesterday, an opportunity to reflect on the eight people killed and 48 people injured in the attack on london bridge and borough market lastjune. among the senior politicians, sajid javid, the new home secretary. today, in his first major speech on security since getting the job, he will say this. one of the most surprising and perhaps controversial plans

is that mi5, the security service, is to declassify the secret intelligence it holds of around 20,000 so—called "subjects of concern." information about these people will be widely shared with, for instance, local governments. the aim is to maximise the chances of detecting any potential terrorist attack before it happens. chris mason, bbc news. the grenfell tower inquiry will begin hearing evidence on the causes of the fire this morning. how the blaze started and developed, safety measures in place and the response of the emergency services will all be examined in the coming weeks. last week, the inquiry heard moving testimonies of bereaved families. it's expected to take 18 months. learner drivers in england, scotland and wales will be allowed onto motorways for lessons from today.

the change is part of an effort to ensure new drivers are better prepared for driving at speed once they've been allowed to throw away their l plates. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is at the national traffic operations centre in birmingham. what do we know about the changes? people have been out on the roads already. good morning. good morning. they have. we have been following one driver who went out for a lesson at five o'clock is mourning and we will speak to him later. we are at motorways where they monitor 5000 motorways where they monitor 5000 motorways on the network. from today, learner drivers will be allowed to have their cars on the motorway for the first time. there are some exceptions. you do not have to have these voluntary lessons, they were not form part of the test when you eventually take it. you will need to go out with a qualified driver, not your mother or father like another roads. they say they

are doing this to improve safety on the motorways. they are the safest roads in the country, but younger drivers are more holeable. they make up drivers are more holeable. they make up 25% of the fatalities on the road. —— vulnerable. i have seen concerns from experienced drivers who say will the network before love drivers who do not know what they are doing? —— full of. but governments in the uk i and this will improve road safety and it sta rts will improve road safety and it starts from today. —— are saying. people will be excited. thank you. at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a volcano erupted in guatemala. the fuego volcano, which is about 25 miles away from the capital guatemala city, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky. there are reports of flows of lava striking at least one village. several areas have been evacuated and the capital's airport has closed. we will keep an eye on that story.

the university of cambridge says it needs the help of parents and schools if it is to improve the diversity of potential students. it comes as new figures showed that some of its colleges had admitted very few or no black applicants over a five year period. the details, released under a freedom of information act, revealed 6 of its 29 colleges admitted fewer than ten black british students or those with mixed african—caribbean backgrounds. he's the comedian with no voice but stand—up lee ridley is the talk of the town today after he was crowned britain's got talent champion. his winning act lost voice guy wowed the judges with a hilarious take on his cerebral palsy. it marks a dream come true for lee, who told breakfast during one of his first gigs at his hometown of newcastle six years ago how he planned on making the most of his disability. i started off in a disabled steps tribute band called ramps. he was in

with us one time. he told us about how he planned to make the most of it. it was my dream job. ijust thought it was a dream. eventually i decided to give it a go because i knew i would regret it if i did not. i think it is better to embrace my disability, both good and bad parts, and let people see what it is like. many people are seeing his performance now. congratulations. good morning. did you see the familiar face in the crowd of britain's got talent? did you see judy murray? not getting much sleep because she will be here later. we can talk to her about that. a great night. a great winner. speaking of

winners. england's cricketers finally have a test match victory. after eight matches without one, they beat pakistan by an innings an 55 runs to draw the series. but captain joe root says there's still a lot of work to do before they take on india in august. there'll be a re—run of the 2004 wimbledon final at the french open this afternoon. and serena williams says she isn't happy with maria sharapova for telling the world she heard the american crying in the dressing room after she was beaten. that will be interesting. england manager, gareth southgate, will have been watching with interest as costa rica beat northern ireland 3—0 yesterday, with just ten days to go until the world cup begins in russia, england play the costa ricans in theirfinal warm up match in leeds on wednesday night. and challenge cup holders, hull, have been knocked out

of the competition. it was by the super league leaders, st helens, though. they'll face catalan dragons in the semi—finals, with warrington wolves playing leeds rhinos. a brilliant morning of sport coming up. iwant a brilliant morning of sport coming up. i want to hear questions about judy murray, how do you get children in sport, and how do you get young girls engaged with sport? and young boys as well. how do you keep that vote is going? that is what she has been working hard on. she has fantastic ideas. some of the front pages how. fantastic ideas. some of the front pages now. we will come back to the sport in a moment. the daily telegraph. talking about the visa cap. theresa may is expected to lift the cap on doctors from outside the eu within weeks from the warning of the nhs warning of staff shortages. sajid javid will be talking about

sharing terror tee—box with teachers. —— tipoffs. sharing terror tee—box with teachers. -- tipoffs. we are hearing a lot about cancer research. the guardian are talking about, lots of different things coming out of the sajid javid speech, but they are talking about police and security services facing a surge in the number of convicted terrorists being released from prison according to analysis done by the guardian. we are talking about unions later that the gabba is increasing by half between younger and older workers. " gap between younger and older workers. —— gap is. we will talk about that. the ongoing saga, if that is the right term. this is about the prime suspect in the plot to killjeremy

thorpe. are lot of interest because of the hugh grant film that has come out recently. —— a lot of. this is the incredible scene with the police... they said andrew newton, the prime suspect in the plot, was dead for a long time. than they thought he was alive. they went to his home. this is a picture of them knocking on the door. he is not there. not at home. ongoing. the financial times. an interesting story about breast cancer. a genetic test. hundreds of thousands of women with early stage breast cancer could be spared chemotherapy after the publication of a study showing they derive no benefit from the gruelling treatment. i have a story about arsene wenger and another about the tennis. i hope we have time for both. arsene wenger talking about the agony of being football manager,

saying it is a priesthood, a sacrifice of life. he says the trophy is only one day in the year, five minutes. everything else is a fight with yourself, and others, to convince them of your success. it is a priesthood and a sacrifice of life. and patrick viera on potentially taking a promotion into management. let's not feel too sorry for him, thatis let's not feel too sorry for him, that is why they get the big bucks! and in the times, this is a really good story. maria sharapova and serena williams play in paris today in the french open, and this really isa in the french open, and this really is a grudge match. serena williams has been asking why she is in maria sharapova's autobiography so much. she has said i have heard there are 100 pagesjust she has said i have heard there are 100 pages just about she has said i have heard there are 100 pagesjust about me. sharapova

has admitted in her autobiography, aged 12 she hid in a shared to spy oi'i aged 12 she hid in a shared to spy on williams practising. she refused to stand during her champions entrance in 2002 and describes her physically saying she felt intimidated by her size. but most of all, maria sharapova says i think serena williams hated me for being the skinny kid who beat her against all the odds, she hated me for hearing her cry. but you know what the interesting thing is? forall sharapova's obsession and the admission of the accession, i think psychologically and physically, the person who is stronger is williams. serena williams has said in response she is baffled by how much of another player's story is about her. but she doesn't mean that, does she? it is just another little poke. i am wondering why i am in this so much. all she is doing is saying she is a test with me, i know she is assessed

with me, and i will wind her up a little bit more. and i can't remember the exact statistic, but the win loss ratio is terrifying. maria sharapova has basically very rarely beaten her in numerous encounters over the years. and sharapova had that time out for using a banned substance, which has given serena williams extra victories, but even with the time out to have her baby, she has only been back for a few months, but it would be difficult to bet against her. isn't it good for women's tennis that there is so much attention on the game. and it will be fascinating to watch. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. we have mixed fortunes once again this week. today will be fairly cloudy across central and eastern areas, brighter in the west. as we go through the week, especially the middle of the week, more of us will see some sunshine and although there

are some thundery downpours in the forecast, they will be fewer and further between as we go through the course of the week. this morning we do have a fair bit of cloud across central and eastern parts of the uk. also some mist and some fog. that is producing some drizzle here and there. high pressure is still firmly in charge of our weather. these showers quite far away but we could see one 01’ showers quite far away but we could see one or two pop—up across south—east england and south wales later in the day, and there is the risk that that also could be sharp. you can see the extent of the cloud cover a cross you can see the extent of the cloud cover across our you can see the extent of the cloud cover across oui’ shores you can see the extent of the cloud cover across our shores today. again, through the day it will remain quite thick, anywhere through yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, down towards kent. but it should brighten up a little bit across parts of the midlands and the south coast. the lion ‘s share of the sunshine will be out towards the west. that is only half of the story because there is rain in the forecast as well. the met office has a yellow weather warnings out for argyll & bute and also northern ireland for some torrential downpours. as happened last week,

not all of us will see them, but if you do you'll all about it. it could also be thundery. temperature—wise, where we have the cloud lingering, temperatures down a touch of where we we re temperatures down a touch of where we were yesterday anyway. as we head through the evening and overnight, many of the showers will tend to fade away. the showers becomes more intensive as it comes in from the north sea. some mist and fog and drizzle coming out of that, and we have an onshore flow with a north—easterly going on. and temperatures down just a touch on where they have been. but it is still going to be pretty warm if you are in the south of england, still quite muggy. so we start tomorrow with all this cloud around, but it will break up from the north is the go through the day. brightening up across much of scotland and northern england, parts of wales as well. later in the day, we could import the shower coming in from the near continent across the channel. and then, as we head on into wednesday, we will still have all this cloud. still an onshore wind across parts of the east coast, especially the

east coast of england. move away from that and we've got sunnier skies. but again, there is still the risk of these showers not too far away, possibly getting into the channel islands. temperature—wise, we are down on where we were last week, top temperatures of 21 or 22 at cooler once again across the north sea coastline. 0n at cooler once again across the north sea coastline. on thursday there will be a lot of dry weather around. we will still have this cloud coming in from the north sea. there will be a fair bit of sunshine, but we are more likely to catch some showers on thursday, especially across the southern counties, possibly in the wales as well, and our temperatures lower if you are under the cloud but we are looking at highs up to about 23 celsius. that is 73 in old muggy. looking at highs up to about 23 celsius. that is 73 in old muggylj love celsius. that is 73 in old muggy.” love a little bit of old money, thank you very much. if you live in england, do you feel proud to be english? the answer to that will likely depend on your age. a survey of more than 20,000 english people commissioned by the bbc suggests that almost three quarters of those aged over 65 are proud to call themselves english.

that compares to less than half of 18— to 24—year—olds. our home editor mark easton has been travelling the country to try to find out why. exploring the canals and backwaters of england's identities brings one to nottinghamshire, as english a county as you'll find. # st george in my heart, keep me english... there is something defiant about the annual st george's day parade here. why, why, why are people ashamed to be english? i just don't understand it at all. you're not ashamed. i'm certainly not. why do we get called racist when everybody else celebrates st andrew's day, st patrick's day? englishness is a variable quality. while almost three quarters of the over—65s say they are proud to call themselves english, among the young, it is less than half. it is felt strongly among brexit supporters, much less so for those

who voted to remain in the eu. navigate 90 miles south—east, to cambridgeshire, and people's englishness is much more diluted. 10% of young people and 10% of graduates say they are embarrassed to call themselves english, and in this city, there's plenty of both. when patriotism or nationalism becomes a code for prejudice, i think that's what becomes problematic. richard the lionheart is a — he's a very poor icon, or a very poor representation of what englishness is and could be be taken to be. it's a supremacist view. it's a violent look at the past. the final leg of our journey along the navigable arteries of england and we emerge into the rarefied atmosphere of planet london. in some parts of the capital, like here in islington, only half of people say they feel strongly english.

a similar proportion say they feel strongly european, and a third of people here have a strong link with a country outside the uk. london is a truly international city, where identities can be discarded, absorbed into lifestyle. would you ever call yourself english? see, this is the debate that i've had with some of my friends. i call myself british, british—indian, and they're like, "but you're english, because you live in england, you were born here." and i'm like — "i don't know whether i'd call myself english." i'd call myself british—indian, i think. being english, unlike being british, is seen as an exclusive identity, an honour bestowed only upon those eligible. that is its weakness and its strength. mark easton, bbc news, england. markjoins us now from regent's canal in central london. did you pull in the boat yourself?”

did actually have a go on the tiller. i am did actually have a go on the tiller. iam now did actually have a go on the tiller. i am now a boat enthusiast, igo tiller. i am now a boat enthusiast, i go everywhere by narrowboat. and what have you learned on your travels? well, as hopefully you saw in the film, actually, englishness, we know that people feel english if they live in england, about 80% of people who live in england say they have a strong english identity, but when you ask a slightly different question, do you feel proud to be english? that number falls to over 60%, and there is real variation. variation by age, so people who are older tend to feel more english than the young. it varies by the brexit vote, which identified a real divide. so those people who voted to leave a far more likely to feel english. three quarters of them say they feel strongly english compared to fewer than half of those who voted to remain in the eu. so it is an interesting identity, which in

some senses kind of divides the population of england. thank you very much. we will be catching up with your little later on. be careful of those cyclists, i saw one shooting past you moment ago. if you're interested in the results of the survey from your area you can go to bbc.co.uk/englishquestion, and type in your postcode. and get in touch on the problems of the railways. if you are setting out, and don't know what trains will be running, get in touch about that as well. coming up later in the programme: l—plates will appear on motorways from today, as new rules come into force. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is in birmingham finding out why. time to get the news, travel and

weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. there are reports that one of lee rigby‘s killers is said to have expressed remorse for his brutal murder, and plans to apologise to the soldier's family. fusillier rigby was killed outside the army barracks in woolwich five years ago. michael adebolajo, who is serving life for murder, is believed to have spoken to staff and imates about his regret over the killing. michael adebowale is also serving a life term. with around 7 million tons of food being thrown away each year, an increasing number of restaurants in london are starting to use what are called smart bins to slash wastage. kitchens throw out food cut as trimmings or ingredients which just aren't needed. but by logging the food as it goes into the bin, chefs can adjust their orders or even their menus to reflect exactly what is being used, and it can cut wastage by half. and staying on the subject of food waste, there is a great story you can watch

on your computer or smartphone. it is about an app being used by people who sharing their spare food with strangers instead of throwing it away. it is a great story following a user in north london. some underground workers are due to go on strike this morning in a row over new timetables. drivers on the jubilee and district lines will walk out on wednesday, in the first of two 24—hour strikes. but let's see what this morning's situation is looking like on the tubes. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning 0n the roads, northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover. 0n the m25, there are just two lanes clockwise approaching j6 for godstone. it is because of a broken—down lorry causing delays. and now let's get the weather forecast for today, and a brief outlook.

hello, good morning. yesterday we got to 27 celsius, but today, if you are back to work, well, the weather won't make it too difficult. it is generally looking cloudier and cooler. the temperatures will be lower and there would be quite as much sunshine around, either. it is a rather mild and monkeys are today. we got temperatures in double figures across the board. there are a few early showers around, but they shouldn't last the long but lots of low cloud around through the morning and in the cloud will tend to thin and in the cloud will tend to thin and break as we move through the afternoon and the best of the breaks will probably be out towards western areas but some brightness developing further east as well. top temperatures between 18 and 21 celsius. now, there should be some evening brightness around as well but the cloud will infill again overnight to a rather grey start to the day once more tomorrow, and temperatures once more sticking in double figures. so rather mild night to come as well. and then tomorrow

it is more or less the same sort of story. it will stay dry, but there will be plenty of cloud around. temperatures only 20 or 21 celsius, the sunshine makes a return on wednesday. the small sharp of one or two showers later on to the day with highs of 23 degrees. —— small chance. vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london from 7:00am, and one of the first people she is speaking to, is the dean of southwark cathedral, who held a service yesterday in memory of those who died in the london bridge terror attack last year. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. we'll bring you the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. we ask the boss of northern rail how he's going to improve the journeys for thousands of passengers left stranded and delayed over the past two weeks. judy murray trained and nurtured her boys into grand slam winners. she's here to tell us what to look for in a coach. hollywood star, cuba gooding junior, was discovered in a high school play and is now returning to the stage for his latest role, in chicago. hejoins us before 9am.

good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. emergency measures to try to end weeks of delays and cancellations will be implemented on railways in the north—west and south—east of england today. northern and govia thameslink passengers have suffered two weeks of disruption after timetable changes at the end of last month, described as "the largest for a generation." later today, the transport secretary, chris grayling, will meet with mps whose constituents have been affected. the level of human misery in the last few weeks because of this chaos has been unprecedented. constituents have been unable to pick up children from school. one was unable to get home to his disabled wife in time to take over from carers. one has a final warning from work. hundreds and hundreds

more are battling misery every single dayjust trying to get to work. information about people suspected of being under the influence of extremists is to be shared more widely, and more quickly, under a new strategy launching today. in his first major speech as home secretary, sajid javid will announce a change in the government's counter—terrorism strategy to deal with what he calls a shift in the threat faced by the uk. the grenfell tower inquiry will begin hearing evidence on the causes of the fire this morning. how the blaze started and developed, safety measures in place and the response of the emergency services will all be examined in the coming weeks. last week the inquiry heard moving testimonies of bereaved families. it's expected to take 18 months. police officers have visited a house in surrey where it's thought a hitman hired to kill the lover of former liberal leader jeremy thorpe is living. police had said andrew newton was dead, but he's now believed to be alive and using a different name. his apparent death was one of the reasons given to thorpe's former lover norman scott

for dropping a conspiracy to murder investigation. at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a volcano erupted in guatemala. the fuego volcano, which is about 25 miles away from the capital guatemala city, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky. there are reports of flows of lava striking at least one village. 0ur central america correspondent, will grant, has more. the volcano of fuego and power is well—known in guatemala, one of the most active volcanoes in latin america, with people used to living in it shadow. but moments of this magnitude are rare. a river of fire spewed down the mound side. many we re spewed down the mound side. many were caught in its path, unable to

—— tribute. lee, who has cerebal palsy, wowed the judges and the millions watching on tv with jokes about his disability. we first met lee here on breakfast in 2012 when we reported on a gig he was doing in his home town of newcastle. it was my dream job. i just thought it was a dream. eventually i decided to give it a go because i knew i would regret it if i did not. i think it is better to embrace my disability, both good and bad parts, and let people see what it is like. huge, huge congratulations. dreams come true. what a worthy winner. speaking of which. two—test series versus pakistan drawn. captain root says there is still work to do. it was a comprehensive win at headingley. they were already way ahead whenjoss buttler hit a brilliant unbeaten 80. and there wasn't much pakistan's batsmen could do, with dom bess and stuart broad

taking three wickets apiece. england won by an innings and 55 runs, but captain, joe root, said that didn't mean all their problems are over. we do not need to paper over the cracks. we have work to do. we responded well and came out and showed a lot of character which is pleasing for me. it is a great step in the right direction. there could be some extra tension on court at the french open this afternoon, when serena williams faces maria sharapova in the quarter—finals. williams only has the singles to focus on now after she and sister venus lost in the doubles yesterday. but she's not too happy with comments sharapova made in her autobiography which came out last year. sharapova claimed she heard williams crying in the dressing room after she beat her in the 2004 wimbledon final. the book was 100% hearsay, at least

the quotes and words i read. it is disappointing. iam the quotes and words i read. it is disappointing. i am human. the quotes and words i read. it is disappointing. iam human. for me, it is totally normal. i think what happens there should stay there, and not necessarily be talked about in a not necessarily be talked about in a not so positive way in a book. former world number one, novak djokovic, has reached the quarter finals for the 12th time, which is a record in the open era. he beat fernando verdasco in straight sets and will be confident of reaching the semi—finals because his next opponent is the world number 72, italian marco cecchinato. 0nly ten days until the world cup. are you excited? yes! there are only 10 days to go until the world cup gets underway

in russia, so england manager gareth southgate will have had a keen eye on costa rica's match against northern ireland yesterday. england's final warm—up match is against the costa ricans on wednesday, and the central americans were impressive, winning 3—0. and after three months out with injury, neymar returned to the brazil side and scored a stunning opener in their 2—0 win over croatia at anfield. you can see why brazil are joint favourites to win the world cup. joint favourites with germany, i should say. in rugby league, st helens knocked out the challenge cup holders hull to reach the semi—finals. regan grace scored two tries as saints just edged it by 25 points to 22. they'll face catala ns dragons for a place in the finals. warrington take on leeds in the other semi. ireland made their first appearance for 1h years at the world rugby sevens series in london yesterday, and they won bronze. they completed a shock last—minute win over england, jordan conroy crossing to level the score, before mark roche converted with just five seconds on the clock. fiji beat south africa in the final. cycling is a treacherous business, and geraint thomas was left smarting after a high—speed crash in the criterium du dauphine,

the traditional warm—up race for the tour de france. 0h! he is down and down hard! he took off some skin, and his shorts. 0w, ouch, ow, ow. ialmost can't speak. i don't know why i am holding my bottom. but despite misjudging a bend in the prologue, and taking off some skin along with his shorts, he only trails by 21 seconds. he's leading team sky in the absence of a resting chris froome. it is amazing what you can do with adrenaline. well, back to football to finish with, because there was a special surprise for tottenham's jan vertonghen playing for his native belgium. before their match with portugal, vertonghen's mum came onto the pitch, much to the confusion of the defender. she was there to present him with his 100th cap for his country. the match finished in a 0—0 draw. isn't that absolutely brilliant?

if it wasn't england's football that caught the eye during saturday's friendly with nigeria at wembley, then the super eagles‘ kit certainly did. the green and black strip only went on sale on friday but there were huge queues to snap them up in london. that combined with more than 3 million pre—sale orders means its already sold out in most places. we managed to get our hands on one. here it is. let's have a look at some of the world cup kit hits. it is virtually sold out! it is definitely lively. is that one of the worst ones you have ever seen? it is at least noticeable, and people are talking about it is i think it is brilliant. it is sold out! there have been some corkers over the years. these are different world cups. this one is not bad, it

is stylish. this is west germany in 1986. famous. that is made less unattractive by the fact they won. the netherlands. that is not even that bad... here is me saying there have been some corkers... that bad... here is me saying there have been some corkers. .. dutch football, that is what i think of. classic and iconic. argentina, 1986. is that supposed to be hideous? classic and iconic. argentina, 1986. is that supposed to be hideou57m is immediately recognisable.” is that supposed to be hideou57m is immediately recognisable. i am sorry... i have completely misunderstood... these are actually iconic. these are the badlands. should we have a look at them? —— bad ones. they better be really bad. here we go. that is brilliant... that is great. it looks like a

sweety wrapper. and shoulder pads! south africa, 1988. have we got that? there we get. blame for the usa in 1984. that is pretty bad. mexico, 1988. is the shirt, or the hair, that we are worried about?” think not dull is better than dull. i love the old—fashioned retro ones. i like the australia one, though i cannot remember what year it was from. like a swirly paintbrush. that is what you remember. we will talk to you later on. i will put it on later. more than 5.5 million people

in the uk are members of a trade union. but that number has been falling steadily since its peak at the end of the 1970s. quite a challenge then for the tuc. the voice of the unions, which this month is celebrating its 150th anniversary. it has launched a campaign to attract younger members, currently at its lowest level since 2001. joe lynam has more. many of britain's cafes, bars and restaurants tend to employ young people under the age of 30 without trade union representation and the tuc is worried young people are working in increasingly precarious jobs with zero—hours contracts and no job security. the problem is many of their employersm especially in the private sector, make it hard for us to organise them so if you think about where young people are working, in hospitality or retail or the care industry, often on temporary or zero—hours contracts, often in franchise organisations that are hard to organise, the model that we have isn't working for them so we've got to fix it. the tuc has launched a worksmart programme to encourage young people to organise their work better in the digital age,

part of the tuc‘s150th anniversary. when the trades union congress was first established in 1868, there were 118,000 trade union members. by 1979, it peaked at 13 million but today, it's at 5.5 million with the biggest drop in membership among the young. 0nly16% of under—30s are in a trade union and in the private sector, only 9%. and the gap between what older people earn compared to the under—30s is also getting wider. the tuc says the pace at which wages are growing for young people has slowed dramatically in recent years. joe lynam, bbc news. paul nowak, the tuc‘s deputy general secretary, joins us now. let's talk about zero hours

contracts. how can a union work in that kind of economy?” contracts. how can a union work in that kind of economy? i think it can make a big difference. we saw last week in manchester young workers in a tgi friday restaurant taking action because they were concerned about pay and tips. and in hospitality and retail, short hours or zero hours contracts, and we have proven time and again that we can sit down, negotiate with employers, get better working conditions, more secure contracts, and ultimately make a difference to people's working lives. i suppose my question might be, if you work on the gig economy you might have jobs might be, if you work on the gig economy you might havejobs in might be, if you work on the gig economy you might have jobs in five different places. how would they bring action against all those different places, for example? the key thing the union does is bring people together and identify issues for them collectively, and get the employer to take notice on those issues. we have seen with the likes of deliveroo and uber that they can

ta ke of deliveroo and uber that they can take collective action. u nfortu nately, take collective action. unfortunately, not enough workers here their workplaces and see the difference we can make. part of the initiative today is to reach out to those young workers and make a difference to their working lives. 1596 difference to their working lives. 15% of the 30s are union members, so members, so why so few? given what you say, you claimed that track record, why are they not coming to the unions? i think part of the challenge is they are often working in workplaces where unions do not have that presence. they are working in restaurants, hospitality, private and central care, and we need to get into those workplaces. we have made a start in places like sports direct and mcdonald's, just recently, but we need to reach out and help people progress at work. do you think young people have a perception of unions as something that is positive? we

talked about 1979, when we had the most members of unions. do they with something from a different time? no, quite often theyjust don't know who we are and what we do. they don't see us we are and what we do. they don't see us in their workplaces, so i think the challenge for us is to be better at talking to them on their terms. being online and digital first, which is where a young person will go to for help and assistance if that is what they need. it is about showing our relevance, and we are beginning to make inroads and running some really great campaigns. i want trade unions to be as releva nt to i want trade unions to be as relevant to my kids' generation as it was to my generation my parents‘ generation. one thing that comes out in your survey is that many young people are on low wages. and it is quite expensive. unite is £180 per year. gmb, £157 peryear. quite expensive. unite is £180 per year. gmb, £157 per year. that is a considerable amount of money for some people. it is an investment by people in union membership. in some

of the big unions it is £2 or £3 a week if you are working full—time, less if you are working part—time, but union members tend to be paid more, they get more access to training and progression at work and they are more likely to work in safe workplaces. we have a compelling offer to younger workers, and we need to get that offer in front of them. i would encourage any young worker to see the difference a union can make, but also to check out the worksmart website and out. right at the margins, people are balancing what they want to spend their £200 or £300 on, and it gets really hard. maybe that will be the thing that they don't spend the money on.” would like to think the union makes a positive difference to people's working lives. to give you one example, every year around 250,000 people get access to new training and skills opportunities because of the work the union does. if we are going to make a positive difference in people's working lives, we have

to do that in a way that allows people to get into membership as quickly or and as easily as possible. thank you for your time. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, both, good morning to you as well. if you are stepping out and have an allergy to pollen, it is worth mentioning it is very high. the levels today across southern england, wales and all of western england. high across northern ireland and much of western england, except for the north, and low in scotland. this week's weather is a bit different from last week's. a cool and cloudy start to the weak in comparison to last week. sunny spells continuing to develop. some will have them in the west, we will see them develop further as they go through the week. there will be some thundery downpours, but fewer than the hunting as we had last week, and some yesterday. 0n the satellite

picture you can see we had a bit of cloud coming across the north—east through yesterday. a lot more across central and eastern parts now, and in amongst that, some drizzle, mr penfold. high pressure still firmly in charge of our weather. there is hardly a breath of wind, but we have some showers very close at the moment to the channel islands. we hang onto a lot of that cloud across central and eastern areas today. if you are stuck under it it will feel cooler. we also have an onshore breeze, so that will add to that cold feel across the north sea coastline. it may well start to brighten up across parts of the midlands, it and southern england, but the line's share will be in the west. a few sharp showers across parts of wales and england, but that is only part of the story. the met office has a yellow weather warnings out for some torrential downpours likely across argyll & bute and northern ireland. we won't all see them, by any stretch. it will be like the last few days. they will be hit and miss but if you catch one

you will know about it. temperature—wise, today is down a touch on what we had yesterday. temperatures well into the mid to high 20s in parts of the south yesterday. through the evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade, and at the same time a lot more cloud will come in from the north sea and spread across much of the uk. still this onshore flow. temperature—wise, down a touch on the nightjust gone. however, if you are in the south of england, it will feel quite muggy. we start tomorrow with all of this cloud around. through the course of the date you will find it will start to break from the north, and brighten up across parts of scotland, northern england and also wales. we will tend to hang on to this cloud across southern counties. and you might just catch the odd shower, for example, across the channel islands. maybe one or two getting into northern ireland as well. for the bulk of the uk it will be a dry day. 0n bulk of the uk it will be a dry day. on wednesday, some problematic cloud coming in across the north sea,

again particularly affecting parts of north—east england, heading over in the direction of the pennines. away from that, a lot of sunshine, but again still the risk of showers in the south. if you are driving along the motorway later and see l—plates in the inside lane, don't worry. from today, learners in england, scotland and wales are now allowed to be there, providing they are with an approved instructor and in a car with dual controls. they are with an approved instructor campaigners hope the new rules will improve road safety. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is at the national traffic operations centre, in birmingham. i know that some of these learners have already been on the roads, haven't they? they have, louise. we will be talking to a couple of those injusta will be talking to a couple of those injust a moment. will be talking to a couple of those injusta moment. i will be talking to a couple of those injust a moment. i am sure every driver will remember the first time they went on the motorway, hoping beyond hope as they went down the slipway that someone would let them in. that heart stopping moment as you go on for the first time. learner drivers will be allowed the

motorway network, we are in the highways england headquarters, where they monitor all of the motorways around the country. with us are jonathan. we think you are probably the first person in the country to bea the first person in the country to be a learner driver on the motorway. how was it? it was really good, quite exciting times and slightly nerve racking as well. it was really good, actually. and we have some pictures, and we will have a look at those as we carry on chatting. i must say, you look remarkably relaxed. what were the challenges you face the? well, the challenges we re you face the? well, the challenges were slightly obvious, the slip road and the shoulder which you do encounter as a learner driver. obviously it is important to stay calm. you are on the road, there is nothing you can do, so you have to remain calm, listen to your instructor and carry on as you would. do you think it is a good idea? it is a brilliant idea. everyone who passes the test will go on to the motorway at some point.

you are better to do it where there is no risk. what do you think of all about this idea? i think it is a great idea. people who have never been on the motorways pass a test and can go on the motorways, and if you actually have lessons, those who have extra lessons, and many don't, i have heard phonecalls about being ona i have heard phonecalls about being on a motorway and panicking, and it is scary to think that you are allowed on a motorway without practice. how did jonathan do this morning? he did really well. apart from getting on and off, the thing that annoys most people is middle lane hogging. are you doing land management? yes, planning ahead, planning behind, vehicle maintenance, breakdowns, what happens if you crash, road conditions... and here is the concern that some people might have. as of today there may be hundreds of

learner drivers on the motorway, and will that be safe? all of our instructors will make sure that pupils are up to standard. if they are not up to test standard, they will not be on motorways. it will not be loads of learners, it will be those of test standard. and richard is from highways england. i will ask you the same question. are you convinced that if we suddenly get learner drivers on the network that it will be safe rather drivers? learner drivers on the network that it will be safe rather driver57m will certainly be safe. we no learner drivers benefit from more practical experience and the changes are about giving in real life, real—world experience driving on the network. it is a no—brainerfor us. we welcome the change. they can go on the m6 with no experience, and it is about a controlled rollout, with an association of driving instructors dual controlled cars, it is planned and managed way of

learning, and we want to support a smarter generation of new customers. as richard said, it is from this morning, with the caveat is that you can't go out with your parents, you must be a qualified driver, it is volu nta ry must be a qualified driver, it is voluntary and not compulsory, but from today, england, scotland and wales will see learner drivers on the motorway network. and i am, for one, relieved that i will not be in charge. it has to be a qualified driver. it is quite a big change, isn't it? let us know what you think. we have some thoughts already. the obvious ones for example will be long lessons on the m5 and m6 around england, where it can take m5 and m6 around england, where it ca n ta ke two m5 and m6 around england, where it can take two hours to move three miles. you have to be ready for all conditions. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. there are reports that one

of lee rigby‘s killers is said to have expressed remorse for his brutal murder, and plans to apologise to the soldier's family. fusillier rigby was killed outside the army barracks in woolwich five years ago. michael adebolajo, who is serving life for murder, is believed to have spoken to staff and imates about his regret over the killing. michael adebowale is also serving a life term. with around 7 million tonnes of food being thrown away each year, an increasing number of restaurants in london are starting to use what are called smart bins. kitchens throw out large amounts of trimmings, and ingredients which just aren't needed. but by logging the food as it goes into the bin, chefs can adjust their orders or even their menus to reflect exactly what is being used, and it can cut wastage by half. and, staying on the subject of food waste, there is a great story you can watch on your computer or smartphone. it is about an app being used by people who share their spare food with strangers instead of throwing it away.

it is a great story following a user in north london. some underground workers are due to go on strike this week in a row over new timetables. drivers on the jubilee and district lines will walk out on wednesday, in the first of two 24—hour strikes. but let's see what this morning's situation is looking like on the tubes: there is a good service on the tubes this morning. 0n the roads: traffic is building up on the a13 westbound from dagenham into barking. 0n the m25, there are just two lanes clockwise approaching j6 for godstone. it is because of a broken—down lorry causing delays. northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich road flyover and now let's get the weather forecast for today, and a brief outlook. hello, good morning. yesterday we got to 27 degrees celsius. but today, if you're back to work,

well, the weather won't make it too difficult. it's generally looking cloudier and cooler. the temperatures will be lower, and there won't be quite as much sunshine around, either. now, it's a mild, a rather muggy start to the day today. we've got temperatures in double figures across the board. there are a few early showers around, but they shouldn't last for long. but lots of low cloud around through the morning, and then the cloud will tend to thin and break as we move through the afternoon. and the best of the breaks will probably be out towards western areas, but some brightness developing further east, too. top temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees celsius. now, there should be some evening brightness around, as well. but the cloud will infill again overnight tonight, so a rather grey start to the day once more tomorrow, and temperatures once more sticking in double figures. so a rather mild night to come, too. and then tomorrow it's more or less the same sort of story. it will stay dry, but there will be plenty of cloud around.

temperatures only 20 or 21 celsius. but the sunshine makes a return on wednesday. the small chance of one or two showers later on through the day, with highs of 23 degrees. vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london in a couple of minutes' time, and she has got more on learner drivers being allowed on the motorway from today. you can also call her with your thoughts on that change, orjust tune in. hello. this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. more trains are axed as timetable disruption hits the rail network. a new emergency schedule has been put in place on northern rail after more than two thousand services were cancelled in a fortnight. good morning. it's monday the fourth ofjune. also this morning: a major shift in counter—terrorism. m15 will share more intelligence on suspects with police and local authorities.

he's held america's top job but now president bill clinton has added a new string to his bow, writing thrillers. there is an old saying in american english at least that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. i am an old dog and this is a new trick. in sport, it's been a long time coming, but there's victory at last for england's cricketers. they beat pakistan with more than two days to spare. it's their first test win since last summer. and what does it mean to be english? we'll have the results of the one of the largest every surveys on national identity. and carol has the weather. good morning. central and eastern areas, more cool and more cloudy than we have been used to with drizzle. brighten —— bright in the west. i will have more details in 15

minutes. thank you, carol. good morning. first, our main story. thousands of rail customers face further changes to theirjourneys this morning after train companies introduced emergency measures to try to end weeks of delays and cancellations. travellers in the north—west and south—east of england have battled two weeks of disruption after timetable changes at the end of last month, described as "the largest for a generation." in a moment, we'll speak to tim muffett in london, but first, dave guest is at preston station for us this morning. what is emerging? give us the picture. good morning. if passengers thought it would not get worse, it can. disruption for weeks following the introduction of the controversial timetable. many services have in cancelled and many delayed. today, another timetable introduced, withdrawing 165 services. some are delayed. they

have cancelled the service to the la ke have cancelled the service to the lake district for the next two weeks. they say it was caused by factors outside their control, like a delay of the electrification of the line. some drivers have been unavailable. that is little comfort to the frustrated passengers unable to the frustrated passengers unable to get to work or home in the evening. bus services have been run to make up for those withdrawn. they say that by doing this they will make things slightly better for people and there will be less last—minute cancellations. a number of cancellations and delays with passengers saying they have lost faith in the company. many have been calling for them to be stripped of their franchise and to give compensation to season ticket holders. thank you. tim muffett is at london bridge station this morning. how are commuters there coping?

good morning. plenty of frustrated commuters have made their way through this very station. a new timetable. thameslink runs four franchises. two of them will have 160 services withdrawn to bring more stability and avoid last—minute cancellation. the train company thinks they cause maximum disruption with people arriving at a station finding out their train has been cancelled. with pre— warning, things may be easier. there has been huge frustration. london mayor sadiq khan said they were unsatisfactory and he

has called for their licence to be stripped away. all eyes are watching the new timetable. we have had a huge amount of disruption in the past few weeks. thank you very much. if it is affecting you this morning, get in touch. so many have gotten in touch already. we'll be speaking to the managing director of northern in his first tv interview since the crisis started in five minutes' time. information about people suspected of being under the influence of extremists is to be shared more widely, and more quickly, under a new strategy launching today. in his first major speech as home secretary, sajid javid will announce a change in the government's counter—terrorism strategy to deal with what he calls a shift in the threat faced by the uk. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, has more. the grenfell tower inquiry will begin hearing evidence on the causes of the fire this morning. how the blaze started and developed, safety measures in place and the response of the emergency services will all be examined in the coming weeks. last week, the inquiry heard moving testimonies of bereaved families. it's expected to take 18 months. learner drivers in england,

scotland and wales will be allowed onto motorways for lessons from today. the change is part of an effort to ensure new drivers are better prepared for driving at speed once they've been allowed to throw away their l plates. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is at the national traffic operations centre in birmingham. what do we know about the changes? if you are a learner driver you can go on the motorway to have a lesson. this is where they monitor the major road infrastructure. 4000 miles of road. you can see it clearly. from today you will see learner drivers on the motorway. there has been a huge amount of debate about this. there are some caveats. it is not

compulsory to go on the motorway if you are a learner driver. it will not be part of any test in the future. you can only go on with a qualified driver with a dual controlled car, not with your mother or father. why has controlled car, not with your mother orfather. why has it controlled car, not with your mother or father. why has it been introduced? the or father. why has it been introduced ? the government or father. why has it been introduced? the government says that although the motorways are the safest in the country, the youngest drivers are the most vulnerable, 25% of fatalities on the road. i have heard debate that if they are full of learner drivers, will that be safe ? of learner drivers, will that be safe? but motor organisations, driving instructors, the government, they all welcomed it. from today you can see them in england, wales, and scotland. thank you very much. we will be catching up with one of those learner drivers who has been on the motorway already in the early hours. five atm when it was mostly quiet. -- 5am.

at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a volcano erupted in guatemala. the fuego volcano, which is about 25 miles away from the capital guatemala city, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky. there are reports of flows of lava striking at least one village. several areas have been evacuated and the capital's airport has closed. volcan de fuego's power is well—known in guatemala, one of the most active volcanoes in latin america, with people used to living in it shadow. but moments of this magnitude are rare. eyewitnesses described a river of fire spewing down the mountainside. many were caught in its path, unable to move before homes were swept away. translation: not everyone escaped. we ran towards the hill. ash has fallen across a wide area, even reaching the capital of guatemala city.

meanwhile, falling molten rock remains a threat to villages in the vicinity. evacuations are under way. the emergency services are doing what they can amid the treacherous conditions. the recent rains have made things more complicated. a state of emergency has been declared. the international airport was closed for poor visibility. roads have been cut off in several areas of the country. the last time locals saw fuego was so active was in the 1970s. with the number of dead steadily rising, and resources in the impoverished nation stretched, it is a race to make sure communities in the affected area are safe. will grant, bbc news. police officers have visited a house in surrey where it's thought

a hitman hired to kill the lover of former liberal leader jeremy thorpe is living. police had said andrew newton was dead but he's now believed to be alive and using a different name. his apparent death was one of the reasons given to thorpe's former lover norman scott for dropping a conspiracy to murder investigation. the university of cambridge says it needs the help of parents and schools if it is to improve the diversity of potential students. it comes as new figures showed that some of its colleges had admitted very few or no black applicants over a five year period. the details, released under the freedom of information act, revealed six of 29 colleges accepted fewer than 10 black british students or those with mixed african—caribbean backgrounds. stand—up comedian, lee ridley, has been crowned britain's got talent champion. i started off in a disabled steps tribute band. we were called ramps. lee, who has cerebal palsy, wowed the judges and the millions watching on tv with jokes about his disability. we first met lee here on breakfast

in 2012 when we reported on a gig he was doing in his home town of newcastle. it was my dream job. i just thought it was a dream. eventually i decided to give it a go because i knew i would regret it if i did not. i think it is better to embrace my disability, both good and bad parts, and let people see what it is like. fantastic. congratulations. we have talked about this for the past few weeks. two weeks after what was called "the biggest timetable change for a generation", travellers in the north—west and south of england are getting to grips with yet more changes to their journeys. this morning, emergency schedules come into effect. southern, great northern, thameslink, and gatwick express services saw one in 10 trains delayed or cancelled on friday, so passengers are being promised an emergency timetable. northern has scrapped 165 services

a day to try to get back on track. we've spoken to some commuters at preston station. i work iwork in i work in leeds and it has been horrendous. cancellations all the time. you wait on the platform for 30 minutes. sort it out. sort it out. they are not spending money in the right places. the drivers and the right places. the drivers and the conductors are unhappy, obviously, going on strikes. we need better service. thank you for joining us, managing director. the man with the beard, he said the words just sort it out. man with the beard, he said the wordsjust sort it out. absolutely. ican wordsjust sort it out. absolutely. i can only apologise for a poor start to the timetable, cancelling

too many trains and inconveniencing too many trains and inconveniencing too many trains and inconveniencing too many people. we are truly sorry. today we are sorting it out with an interim timetable, reducing the chains we operate to give more certainty rather than turning up and finding trains not running. —— trains. it isjust after seven atm. what is the picture you are seeing in terms of people catching trains today? —— 7am. in terms of people catching trains today? -- 7am. it will take a few days to bed in. this will go for eight weeks. we will see progress over that time. we are seeing it more stable this morning but there still will be cancellations. you have apologised. is it accept what has happened to thousands of passengers? not acceptable. not at all. i have apologised. we are putting effort into fixing this, putting effort into fixing this, putting in more trains all the time, causing issues with capacity. we are

reducing capacity by 60%, but running more than april this year. we are determined to fix this. we will allow the modernisation that the franchise will deliver so the new trains, more trains, better trains, by 2020, will fix the problem. one of the things people find most frustrating, and to a degree, annoying as it is, people understand change and that it can be difficult. this morning, we are already hearing from correspondence that these last—minute cancellations are taking place. people are where the timetable change in trains may be cancelled in advance. even this morning people are turning up to get trains, go to work, essential services, the daily routine, and trains are not that? and that is part of the fact that we have had to introduce that at short notice. a huge amount of work has

happened over the weekend... on a practical note, for a train to be cancelled this morning that you didn't know in advance, so if someone has arrived at the station, thatis someone has arrived at the station, that is how tight this line is. they think it is running, get to the station, look at the board and it is not there. that is because we have had to introduce this interim timetable over the weekend at short notice. that will ease over the next couple of days. at if you didn't know you had a driver for couple of days. at if you didn't know you had a driverfor a train, how did you not know that by sam or six a.m.? and how did you not know that by sam or six a.m. ? and that is part of the reason we have introduced the interim timetable, to give people certainty so we have advance notice of the trains which can't running. and by taking out the 6% of trains, that gives us more space to train drivers and give us the certainty they need. you keep talking about certainty. you have cut the train service, you have done that, but people still don't have the certainty that the service, which is worse, is there. they are still

turning up, the train is there, they know it will be over crowded, and they are not finding it running. there will be some instances at short notice cancellations, but they will drastically reduce with this new timetable. andy burnham has called this the last chance saloon for your company. all of our effort has gone into fixing this hugely complex problem, created by lots of things in the industry. our complex problem, created by lots of things in the industry. 0urjob is to fix that and put it right for our customers. what will you do to compensate people with advanced season tickets, for starters? we will put in place conversation packages. we believe that is only right, to give our loyal customers some recompense for the discomfort we have caused them, and that will be finalised in due course. you don't know when they are going to

get details? no, but imminently. and normal customers, will they get compensation? so we have a system in place already, where if a train is cancelled they can apply for a refund. we have more people into deal with that, because there is a backlog, and we are dealing with that as quickly as we can. it is a way for people to claim back through delay repay, and we will be dealing with that. and when will this be sorted out, and the trains will be running as you and all passengers would like them to be? well, this is not a quick fix. you will hear that not a quick fix. you will hear that not just from not a quick fix. you will hear that notjust from here but not a quick fix. you will hear that not just from here but from not a quick fix. you will hear that notjust from here but from the south of england, and we have put this interim timetable in the eight weeks. we hope to see progressive improvement over that period of time, but we need to take stock during that time to see when it will formally get corrected. and some people may think you are not the right people to be doing this. all i can say is we are putting all our effort into this issue. that is outside of our control, but is absolutely our responsibility, to

ta ke absolutely our responsibility, to take action and get it fixed. when was the last time you spoke to chris grayling? we spoke to him a week ago. not since? we spoke to him twice last week, and there is a telephone call within this morning. what is the nature of that?” telephone call within this morning. what is the nature of that? i think he was an update on progress here and elsewhere. thank you very much for your time. and thank you to everyone who has been getting in touch with us over the last week, as well. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. today we have a bit more cloud over central and eastern areas, producing some drizzle, mist and fog tied up with that as well. alan west it is brighter, and it will continue to brighten up through the day. however we do have some rain and the forecast, and that is in the shape of some torrential downpours across argyll & bute later on. this morning, while there is a lot of cloud and you can see this line of showers in the near continent, very

close to the channel islands at the moment, a lot of cloud has come in from the north sea through the course of the night. not much in the way of wind to move it along. hardly a breeze as high pressure remains in charge of our weather. what we have this morning as a cloudy start. even in the west there is a bit more cloud around, not everywhere. that cloud around, not everywhere. that cloud is thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle but it will brighten up spot of drizzle but it will brighten up if you have the cloud in the west, the western scotland and northern ireland in north—west england, you will see some sunshine. the figures cloud will always be in the east, wales, south—west england, parts of southern england also seeing some of that sunshine. it is thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. through the day we will see the yellow weather warnings coming into force across argyll & bute and northern ireland. like the last few days, if you catch a heavy, thundery downpour, you will be unlucky. they will be hit and miss. we could have up will be hit and miss. we could have up to 30 millimetres of rainfall, over an up to 30 millimetres of rainfall, overan inch, in up to 30 millimetres of rainfall, over an inch, in the space of an hour locally. at the same time, we

can also catch the odd shower across south wales and also south—west england. temperatures are down on where they were yesterday, not hugely, but a little bit cooler. closely if you are stuck under all this cloud. as we head onto the evening and overnight period, more cloud through the north sea. that will be more extensive as we go through the coming night. many showers will tend to fade, and we have an onshore breeze coming in from the north sea. temperature—wise, we are down a touch on the nightjust gone. in the south of england and the south of wales, it will feel quite a sultry night. tomorrow we start off with all this cloud around, but unlike today, you will find it will break from the north. brightening up across scotland, northern england and also wales. it is the far south of england which will hang on to this cloud, and we could catch the odd shower coming in across the channel islands through the afternoon. if you are unlucky you could catch one which will be heavy across northern ireland. the showers from scotland tomorrow, much less.

temperature—wise, up to about 16 or 17. then for wednesday we still have this cloud coming in from the north sea. it will break up across parts of eastern scotland, hanging on it across north—east england, but away from that it will be a fair bit of sunshine around. having said that, once again we are not immune to some showers coming up the channel islands. they might get into southern counties of england. we will keep an eye on that for you. temperature—wise, 14 in the north to highs of about 21 in the south. if you live in england, do you feel proud to be english? the answer to that will likely depend on your age. a survey of more than 20,000 english people commissioned by the bbc suggests that almost three quarters of those aged over 65 are proud to call themselves english. that compares to less than half of 18— to 24—year—olds. our home editor mark easton has been travelling the country to try to find out why. exploring the canals and backwaters of england's identities brings one

to nottinghamshire, as english a county as you'll find. # st george in my heart, keep me english... there is something defiant about the annual st george's day parade here. why, why, why are people ashamed to be english? i just don't understand it at all. you're not ashamed. i'm certainly not. why do we get called racist when everybody else celebrates st andrew's day, st patrick's day? englishness is a variable quality. while almost three quarters of the over—65s say they are proud to call themselves english, among the young, it is less than half. it is felt strongly among brexit supporters, much less so for those who voted to remain in the eu. navigate 90 miles south—east, to cambridgeshire, and people's englishness is much more diluted. 10% of young people and 10% of graduates say

they are embarrassed to call themselves english, and in this city, there's plenty of both. when patriotism or nationalism becomes a code for prejudice, i think that's what becomes problematic. richard the lionheart is a — he's a very poor icon, or a very poor representation of what englishness is and could be be taken to be. it's a supremacist view. it's a violent look at the past. the final leg of our journey along the navigable arteries of england, and we emerge into the rarefied atmosphere of planet london. in some parts of the capital, like here in islington, only half of people say they feel strongly english. a similar proportion say they feel strongly european, and a third of people here have a strong link with a country outside the uk. london is a truly international city, where identities can be discarded, absorbed into lifestyle. would you ever call yourself english? see, this is the debate that i've had with some of my friends. i call myself british, british—indian, and they're like,

"but you're english, because you live in england, you were born here." and i'm like — "i don't know whether i'd call myself english." i'd call myself british—indian, i think. being english, unlike being british, is seen as an exclusive identity, an honour bestowed only upon those eligible. that is its weakness and its strength. mark easton, bbc news, england. mark joins us now from regent's canal, in central london. mark, there seems to be a marked difference between feeling english and feeling british? yes, it is interesting. we asked the question in different ways. it is the huge survey and we asked people how strongly they felt english and british. there is a pride question and the strength question. we asked

people how strongly they felt. 80% of people said they had a strong english identity, and around 60% said they felt proud to be english. that is interesting in itself. 0n the british thing, 82% of people felt they had a strong british identity. i think you can see that for many people they have a strong identity that is a bit of both, actually. thank you very much indeed. have you enjoyed the canals? you look very at home there.” indeed. have you enjoyed the canals? you look very at home there. i am a little drifter. i am feeling a bit sorry for the people on board, having a lovely lie in this morning. 720 sam and you are waking up them up 720 sam and you are waking up them up —— waking them up, blaring out. and you can find out how strongly people identify with being english in your area by going to bbc.co.uk/englishquestion. just type in your postcode. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. there are reports that one

of lee rigby‘s killers is said to have expressed remorse for his brutal murder, and plans to apologise to the soldier's family. fusillier rigby was killed outside the army barracks in woolwich five years ago. michael adebolajo, who is serving life for murder, is believed to have spoken to staff and imates about his regret over the killing. michael adebowale is also serving a life term. after seven days of emotional tributes by bereaved families, the fact—finding phase of the public inquiry into the fire at grenfell tower will begin this morning. it will hear evidence about how the fire started and spread, and the way the emergency services responded to it. throughout the week, there will be opening statements from lawyers representing survivors and bereaved families, and kensington and chelsea council. with around 7 million tonnes of food being thrown away each year, an increasing number of restaurants in london are starting to use what are called smart bins. in london are starting to use

kitchens throw out large amounts of trimmings, and ingredients which just aren't needed. but by logging the food as it goes into the bin, chefs can adjust their orders or even their menus to reflect exactly what is being used, and it can cut wastage by half. some underground workers are due to go on strike this week in a row over new timetables. drivers on the jubilee and district lines will walk out on wednesday in the first of two 24—hour strikes. we will keep you informed of what happens there, in case it gets called off. but first, a look at this morning's tube board: there is a good service on the tubes this morning. 0n the roads: traffic is building up on the a13 westbound from dagenham into barking. and now let's get the weather forecast for today, and a brief outlook. hello, good morning. yesterday we got to 27 degrees celsius. but today, if you're back to work, well, the weather won't make

it too difficult. it's generally looking cloudier and cooler. the temperatures will be lower, and there won't be quite as much sunshine around, either. now, it's a mild, a rather muggy start to the day today. we've got temperatures in double figures across the board. there are a few early mist patches around, but they shouldn't last for long. but lots of low cloud around through the morning, and then the cloud will tend to thin and break as we head into the afternoon. and the best of the breaks will probably be out towards western areas, but some brightness developing further east, too. top temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees celsius. now, there should be some evening brightness around, as well. but the cloud will infill again overnight tonight, so a rather grey start to the day once more tomorrow, and temperatures once more sticking in double figures. so a rather mild night to come, too. and then tomorrow it's more or less the same sort of story. it will stay dry, but there'll be plenty of cloud around. temperatures only 20 or 21 degrees celsius. but the sunshine makes a return on wednesday. the small chance of one or two

showers later on through the day, with highs of 23 degrees. the former mp for bermondsey and old southwark, simon hughes, will be speaking to vanessa feltz in a few minutes' time on bbc radio london about the london bridge terror attack a year ago. i'll be back in half an hour. hello. this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. emergency measures to try to end weeks of delays and cancellations will be implemented on railways in the north—west and south—east of england today. northern and govia thameslink passengers have suffered two weeks of disruption after timetable changes at the end of last month, described as "the largest for a generation." later today the transport secretary chris grayling will meet with mps whose constituents have been affected. the managing director of northern

has warned of further disruption. it is not a quick fix. notjust from here, but the south of england, you will find that. we will see progressive improvement over that period of time. we need to take time. information about people suspected of being under the influence of extremists is to be shared more widely, and more quickly, under a new strategy launching today. in his first major speech as home secretary, sajid javid will announce a change in the government's counter—terrorism strategy to deal with what he calls a shift in the threat faced by the uk. the grenfell tower inquiry will begin hearing evidence on the causes of the fire this morning. how the blaze started and developed, safety measures in place and the response of the emergency services will all be examined in the coming weeks. last week the inquiry heard moving testimonies of bereaved families. it's expected to take 18 months. learner drivers in england,

scotland and wales will be allowed onto motorways for lessons from today. the change is part of an effort to ensure new drivers are better prepared for driving at speed once they've been allowed to throw away their l plates. they will still need to be accompanied by an instructor in a car with dual controls. police officers have visited a house in surrey where it's thought a hitman hired to kill the lover of former liberal leader jeremy thorpe is living. police had said andrew newton was dead, but he's now believed to be alive and using a different name. his apparent death was one of the reasons given to thorpe's former lover norman scott for dropping a conspiracy to murder investigation. at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a volcano erupted in guatemala. the fuego volcano, which is about 25 miles away

from the capital guatemala city, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky. there are reports of flows of lava striking at least one village. several areas have been evacuated and the capital's airport has closed. the number of young people who are members of a trade union has fallen significantly in recent years, according to figures released by the trades union congress. membership among the under—30s fell from around 20 per cent in 2001 to just under 16 per cent last year. the tuc‘s, general secretary, frances 0'grady, says the figures are worrying. if you think about where young people are working, in hospitality, retail, care, often on zero—hours contacts, it makes it hard to organise. the model we have is not working for them. we have to fix it. the company behind clydesdale bank and yorkshire bank has put in a new offer to buy virgin money. cbyg has submitted new terms for its £1.6 billion takeover proposal.

the two businesses are currently in discussions about the deal which would create the uk's fifth largest bank with six million customers. those are the main stories this morning. carol will be here before 8am with the forecast. the other day i said england's cricketers would need a lot of help. they proved me wrong. two—test series versus pakistan drawn. captain root says still work to do. it was a comprehensive win at headingley. they were already way ahead whenjoss buttler hit a brilliant unbeaten 80. and there wasn't much pakistan's batsmen could do, england winning by an innings and 55 runs, but captainjoe root said that didn't mean all their problems were over. asa group, as a group, it is important we do not use this to pave over the cracks. we have work to do. we responded well and came out and showed a lot of character

which is pleasing for me. it is a great step in the right direction. there could be some extra tension on court at the french open this afternoon, when serena williams faces maria sharapova in the quarter—finals. williams is not too happy with comments sharapova made in her autobiography which came out last year. sharapova claimed she heard williams crying in the dressing room after she beat her in the 2004 wimbledon final. the wimbledon dressing room is a very private place. the book was 100% hearsay, at least the quotes and words i read. it is disappointing. iam human. for me, it is totally normal. i think what happens there should stay there, and not necessarily be talked about in a not so positive way in a book. wow, well...

former world number one novak djokovic has reached the quarter finals for the 12th time.. he beat fernando verdasco in straight sets and will be confident of reaching the semi—finals because his next opponent is the world number 72, italian marco checkinato. there are only 10 days to go until the world cup gets underway in russia, so england manager gareth southgate will have had a keen eye on. costa rica's match against northern ireland yesterday. england's final warm—up match is against the costa ricans on wednesday. they were impressive, winning 3—0. iam liking i am liking that celebration swagger. and after three months out with injury, neymar returned to the brazil side and scored a stunning opener in their 2—0 win over croatia at anfield. you can see why brazil are joint

favourites to win the world cup. joint favourites along with germany. in rugby league, st helens knocked out the challenge cup holders hull to reach the semi—finals. regan grace scored two tries as saints just edged it by 25 points to 22. they'll face catala ns dragons for a place in the finals. warrington take on leeds in the other semi. ireland made their first appearance for 14 years at the world rugby sevens series in london yesterday and they won bronze. they completed a shock last—minute win over england, jordan conroy crossing to level the score, before mark roche converted with just five seconds on the clock. fiji beat south africa in the final. you might want to look away if you are eating your breakfast. cycling is a treacherous business, and geraint thomas was left smarting after a high—speed crash in the criterium du dauphine, the traditional warm—up race for the tour de france. but despite misjudging

a bend in the prologue, and taking off some skin along with his shorts, he only trails by 21 seconds. look at that. and back on the bike. he's leading team sky in the absence of a resting chris froome. that is adrenaline, isn't it? let's go back to football. and there was a special surprise for tottenham's jan vertonghen, when he played for his native belgium yesterday. before their match with portugal, vertonghen's mum came onto the pitch, much to his confusion. she was there to present him with his 100th cap for his country. then the super eagles‘ kit certainly did. the green and black strip went on sale on friday and it has virtually sold out. we did manage to get our hands on one though. and here it is. let's have a look at some of the hits from world cups of years gone by. you can get this money on ebay. but

it sold out on friday. many interesting tactics behind the kit. they were worried about fakes. this one is difficult to fake. people have difficulty copying it. it is busy and bold. shall we remind ourselves of some of the others? this was cameroon in 2014. west germany world cup winning team in italia 90. that is a very famous win. johan cruyff. the classic shirts are loved. here

are some corkers. i like that. the goalkeepers can have different colours. they want to distract the other team a little bit. obviously with that. imagine taking a penalty with that. imagine taking a penalty with that. imagine taking a penalty with that dancing in front of you. that one is not terrible. this one is quite bad. the usa in 1984. anything with splodges is quite difficult. quite challenging. ten days until the world cup. not long. you can't have it. and judy murray is here, already here, i have a

chat, and looking forward to talking to her on the sofa. a new strategy to tackle terrorism is being announced by the home secretary later today. sajid javid is expected to set out plans for m15 to share its intelligence more widely and work with partners like local councils. it's hoped sharing information will help keep tabs on the 20,000 people in britain who are suspected of being under the influence of extremist ideologies. ben wallace is the security minister and he joins us from westminster. good morning. thank you forjoining us. we will talk about the sharing of information. what kind of information? one of the challenges is often during the course of an investigation people appear on the periphery of a major plot, or they themselves appear. but they do not reach the threshold necessarily for a co nsta nt reach the threshold necessarily for a constant level of reach the threshold necessarily for a co nsta nt level of su rveilla nce reach the threshold necessarily for a constant level of surveillance or investigation because intelligence agencies operate within the law and

everything has to be proportionate and necessary. but it is often those people at a later stage that begin to engage, and we have to be tuned in to these people so that we can spot a change down the line and therefore reopen a case or do something to develop away from terrorism. it is a threat in europe, not just the uk. terrorism. it is a threat in europe, notjust the uk. we think one of the ways to do that is to make sure intelligence services, if they hold information on someone like that in the periphery, someone on the radar, not currently engaged in plotting or anything else, that they share that information with as many partners or agencies as they can so that we can make sure people are lured to what they are doing. that can be anything from working better with the private sector, vehicle hire, organisations

like amazon, so that if we see behaviours that are out of the ordinary, we can do something about it. in some ways are you passing responsibilities onto other companies than? there are 3000 people currently under investigation by the intelligence services and the police. that is a lot of people to be focusing on. there are some 20,000 people who belong to that category of having previously been on the radar. we have to do something about that 20,000. at the moment, what we do is we use the prevent scheme and channel scheme and safeguarding to make sure we are preventing people from being radicalised. but we need better solutions for those already radicalised, potentially active. we will say to a more wide group of people, multi agency, in priority a here areas, is there anything we can

do? —— areas. are they being drawn into criminal gangs that we could ta ke into criminal gangs that we could take them away from so they do not gain firearms, take them away from so they do not gainfirearms, do take them away from so they do not gain firearms, do not harm themselves, do not harm others? can i ask you about one particular incident as an example? the person who carried out the parsons green train bomb last year was on the radar. are you saying that may not happen in the future? we are keen to learn the lessons of last year. what we need to improve is the number of options available to local communities and local authorities and local police in dealing with those kinds of individuals. predominantly, and i think this is something really important, this is not about reporting back to m15, this is about the intelligence services sharing information outward and asking the wider community to see if there is something they can

do. it will not be aboutjust publishing names, only proportionate and necessary. it will predominantly be alongside local police and local authorities which, to some extent, does already happened through the channel and prevent programmes. local authorities sit on those panels. it is about broadening that. we keep seeing signs of people coming across the radar, perhaps lightly, and they are often at a plot when it happens, as we saw last yearin plot when it happens, as we saw last year in some of the five attacks. we know that sajid javid will lay out proposals later on this morning. i just want to ask you something else about the rail, as we have been sticking to the boss of northern. he is saying there will be compensation. is that enough? what i want the leaders of the companies to do, and what i want

network rail to do, is to deliver the number of drivers required to carry out the timetabling. i live in lancashire, northern rail is one of my local firms and even before this timetable change, i was getting services from manchester airport co nsta ntly ca ncelled at services from manchester airport constantly cancelled at the last minute and spent my life on replacement buses. 0ne minute and spent my life on replacement buses. one of the challenges is, with this new timetable approaching in may, they should have been more training for drivers so that drivers could have used the new routes. that is one of the biggest challenges, a shortage of drivers. so i want to hearfrom everyone, really. what are they going to do to make sure we have those drivers trained and ready to go? without the drivers we can't increase the capacity that this new timetabling was supposed to be about. thank you for your time on brea kfast about. thank you for your time on breakfast this morning. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you both. today's weather, mixed fortunes. we have

split the country into so that if you are in the west, you will have brighter skies and sunshine, but it will be fairly cloudy in the east. we will take a look at that in more detail. the cloud thick enough to produce some drizzle, one or two showers, and some showers very close to the channel islands at the moment. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. there is hardly a breath of wind, and you can see just where those showers are. you could catch one in the next hour or so you could catch one in the next hour orso in the you could catch one in the next hour or so in the channel islands. there are some mist and fog tied in amongst that cloud across parts of northumberland, for example, down towards essex and kent, and brighter skies across southern counties of england and into the west. through the day, we are likely to see some torrential downpours. the met office has a yellow weather warnings for argyll & bute and northern ireland, as you can see in the chart, they are going to be fairly hit and miss. still cloudy across many parts of

the midlands although it will brighten up a touch on the west midlands and some sunshine across wales and the south—west. here we could see the odd heavy shower. temperatures down a touch on where they were yesterday, when we got into the mid—to—high teens in some pa rt into the mid—to—high teens in some part of the south. still fairly respectable. as we head on through the evening and overnight many of the evening and overnight many of the showers will tend to fade away. if anything we will have more cloud coming in from the north sea, pushing across much of the uk. again this cloud thick enough for some drizzle and some mist and fog tied in with that. temperature—wise, we are going to be again a degree or so lower than the night that has just gone, but if you are in the south of england, wales, the midlands, and east anglia, it will feel quite oppressive. tomorrow we start off with all this cloud, but unlike todayit with all this cloud, but unlike today it will start to break up from the north. sunny skies coming in across scotland and northern england, into east anglia and wales. the south of england hanging onto this cloud, the risk of a shower again in the channel islands. in

northern ireland, although there will be some bright skies, you are not immune to the odd sharp shower. temperature—wise we are looking at up temperature—wise we are looking at up to around 17 or 18, so temperatures down a little bit more. 0n temperatures down a little bit more. on wednesday there will be a lot of dry weather around. there will be a lot of sunshine as well. still this pesky cloud coming in from the north sea should break up across eastern scotland. it looks very much like we are going to hang onto it across the of england. the further west you are, the brighter the skies. temperatures up to about 21 and the risk of a shower coming up from the near continent. by thursday, if anything a risk of showers across southern england and wales increases. a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine around, still a fair bit of sunshine around, still a fair bit of cloud coming in from the north sea and temperatures not too dissimilar to what we are looking out on wednesday, top temperatures of 21. in the late ‘90s, hundreds of thousands of people took out interest—only mortgages without a clear plan of how

to pay them off. after the financial crisis, many lenders tightened their rules and stopped offering them. now it seems they're back, with an increasing number of lenders offering interest—only mortgages. so what has changed? we can speak tojane king, a mortgage advisor at ash—ridge asset management. thank you very much forjoining us. lots of people had these and then it stopped. is there a concern with interest—only mortgages? stopped. is there a concern with interest-only mortgages? well, a couple of years ago our regulators brought out some rules about affordability and mortgages, and interest only was one of the things they were looking at. we have heard bad news about interest only prisoners, and now a lot of lenders are looking at it and thinking it is time to get their toe back in the water and start offering these again. what are the risks associated? the main risk is that you can't afford to pay the capital at the end. people don't have exit

plans, or they have a plan when they start and they don't stick to it. i think that has been the biggest problem in the past. and of course, the lure is your monthly repayments are substantially lower because you are substantially lower because you are not repaying the bulk of the money. if you look at the standard 25 year repayment mortgage, if you look at that on an interest only basis it is around a third of the cost, so there are a lot of savings to be made by doing interest only, but you are just deferring, obviously, having to pay at the end. presumably the banks are still asking questions about whether you have a plan in place and whether you will be able to do that. the lending criteria on the new lenders are much stricter. you are going to have to meet one of three main criteria, which is you have to have lots of disposable income, a massive deposit, a large amount of equity in your property, or you will deposit, a large amount of equity in your pfoperty, or you will have deposit, a large amount of equity in your property, or you will have to have a repayment vehicle already in place. so you can'tjust say i will have an interest only mortgage but put £5 in a month in a isap. we do a

lot of stories, and you are very familiar with this, how hard it is and the affordability of mortgages. people want to get onto the housing market, and a lower monthly payment is one way that that would be more achievable, albeit that they are not actually paying off the loan they have taken out. when these mortgages we re have taken out. when these mortgages were sold in the 1980s, affordability wasjudged were sold in the 1980s, affordability was judged on the ability to pay on an interest only basis. now it will be calculate it ona basis. now it will be calculate it on a repayment mortgage, so although your repayment will be lower, your ability to afford it in the first place will be based on if you are paying the full amount every month. and do you have advice to people coming to the end of their loan period on interest only, and they haven't got a plan in place? what would the advice be? well, the first port of call has got to be your lender. they will look at extending the terms. anecdotal evidence says that some are more strict than

others. some banks are turning around and saying you must sort it out now and some are saying come in and we will talk about it. your first port of call must be your lender. if they won't take your call, take separate advice. and what confidence is there, at the moment? it is very regional. as you know, parts of the country prices are falling, other parts of the country they are rising slightly. affordability is getting difficult, but the lenders are beginning to relax some of their rules now. not all, but some are being relaxed. thank you very much. when us presidents leave office, it is not uncommon for them to shed light on their time in the white house in multimillion—dollar memoirs. but bill clinton has used his experiences to write a thriller about about a cyber attack in washington. he has teamed up with the world's bestselling novelist, james patterson. they have been speaking to our arts correspondent rebecca jones. he used to be the most powerful man

in the world, and the world's bestselling novelist. meet a writing tea m bestselling novelist. meet a writing team no other. there's an old saying, at least in american english, that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. i'm in old dog, and this is a new trick. at the age of 71, bill clinton finally got around to fulfilling a lifetime's ambition. i love thrillers. i read huge numbers of them. and we had met once before, and i have always... you know, i always wanted to do it, and he was willing, and we started, and that's what happened. what you are going to get here is what it would be like to be president under the most extreme circumstances. the novel sees a fictitious commander—in—chief rattling to save the free world from a devastating cyber attack. it is a plot both men say is all too plausible. what is

happening in north korea is nothing compared to the threat of cyber terrorism. i hope and pray that this effort with north korea succeeds, not because i think north korea is about to drop a nuclear bomb, because it would be the end of their country. they know that. but this cyber threat could kill a lot more people in a lot less time, just shutting things down. malicious cyber attacks are not confined to the pages of fiction. and despite the pages of fiction. and despite the use of electronic voting machines in america, the former president thinks a return to old—fashioned pen and paper is the best way to prevent the democratic process from hacking. the computer hacking every year in lost vegas, he sends his voting machine and his expert, and it took them six minutes to hack it, so they went to paper ballots, and nobody complained about the election, and they were countered just as quickly. the most important thing is, untilwe

countered just as quickly. the most important thing is, until we get this straight and out, every state should go to some sort of paper ballot system. the tv rights have already been sold. who should play the president? george clooney? that would be go on, he is a really good actor. he looked great at the wedding. not as great as his wife, but pretty great. using keyword look goodin but pretty great. using keyword look good in —— do you think you would look good in the movies?” good in —— do you think you would look good in the movies? i was telling them i am glad there was a two. mata term limit, or else i would have made them drag me out in a pine box. the president is missing is out now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. there are reports that one of lee rigby‘s killers is said to have expressed remorse for his brutal murder, and plans to apologise

to the soldier's family. fusillier rigby was killed outside the army barracks in woolwich five years ago. michael adebolajo, who is serving life for murder, is believed to have spoken to staff and imates about his regret over the killing. michael adebowale is also serving a life term. after seven days of emotional tributes by bereaved families, the fact—finding phase of the public inquiry into the fire at grenfell tower will begin this morning. it will hear evidence about how the fire started and spread, and the way the emergency services responded. throughout the week there will be opening statements from lawyers representing survivors and bereaved families, and kensington and chelsea council. with around 7 million tonnes of food being thrown away each year, an increasing number of restaurants in london are starting to use what are called smart bins. kitchens throw out large amounts of trimmings, and ingredients which just aren't needed. but by logging the food as it goes into the bin, chefs can adjust their orders

or even their menus to reflect exactly what is being used, and it can cut wastage by half. some underground workers are due to go on strike this week in a row over new timetables. drivers on the jubilee and district lines will walk out on wednesday, in the first of two 24—hour strikes. we will keep you informed of what happens there, in case it gets called off. but first, a look at this morning's tube board: there is a good service on the tubes this morning. 0n the roads, the highway is building westbound through wapping towards tower hill. and now let's get the weather forecast for today, and a brief outlook. hello, good morning. yesterday we got to 27 degrees celsius. but today, if you're back to work,

well, the weather won't make it too difficult. it's generally looking cloudier and cooler. the temperatures will be lower, and there won't be quite as much sunshine around, either. now, it's a mild, a rather muggy start to the day. we've got temperatures in double figures across the board. there are a few early mist patches around, but they shouldn't last for long. but lots of low cloud around through the morning, and then the cloud will tend to thin and break as we head into the afternoon. and the best of the breaks will probably be out towards western areas, but some brightness developing further east, too. top temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees celsius. now, there should be some evening brightness around, as well. but the cloud will infill again overnight tonight, so a rather grey start to the day once more tomorrow, and temperatures once more sticking in double figures. so a rather mild night to come, too. and then tomorrow it's more or less the same sort of story. it will stay dry, but there'll be plenty of cloud around. temperatures only 20 or 21 degrees celsius, but the sunshine makes a return on wednesday. the small chance of one or two showers later on through the day, with highs of 23 degrees.

much more on our facebook page and on twitter, and i will be back in half an hour on bbc one. goodbye for now. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. more trains are axed, as timetable disruption hits the rail network. a new emergency schedule has been put in place on northern rail after more than two thousand services were cancelled in a fortnight. good morning.

it's monday 4th june. also this morning: a major shift in counter—terrorism. m15 will share more intelligence on suspects with police and local authorities. lessons for learner drivers go up a gear as they are allowed on motorways for the first time. in sport... it's been a long time coming but there's a victory at last for england's cricketers. they beat pakistan with more than two days to spare — it's their first test win since last summer. and oscar—winner cuba gooding junior will be on the sofa to tell us about bringing some american flare to the west end. and carol has the weather. good morning. today will be noticeably cooler and cloudy in central and eastern parts of the uk. in the west, brighter with sunny

spells that we could see some torrential downpours across south—west scotland and northern ireland. more details in 15 minutes. thanks. good morning. first, our main story: in the last hour, the boss of northern rail told us that rail disruption could continue for several weeks. emergency measures to try to end weeks of delays and cancellations will be implemented on railways in the north—west and south—east of england today. northern and govia thameslink passengers have suffered two weeks of disruption after timetable changes at the end of last month, described as "the largest for a generation". later today, the transport secretary chris grayling will meet with mps whose constituents have been affected. this is not a quick fix, you will hear that not just from this is not a quick fix, you will hear that notjust from here but also from the south of england and we have that this interim timetable infor we have that this interim timetable in for eight weeks. we hope to see andi in for eight weeks. we hope to see and i am sure we will see progressive improvement over that period of time that we need to take stock to see when it will formally get corrected. dave guest is at preston station for us this morning.

bad news in some way that we are hearing passengers will get compensation? what's going on today? another day of delays and frustration for northern passengers. the interim timetable came in. they withdrew another 160 ‘s services but it is causing more delays and cancellations. the board behind me tells me there are three bus replacement services and a number of delays within the next hour. lots of frustration on the platform from passengers who say they've had enough. they don't know whether they're going to get to work on time, whether they can pick up the kids from school on time. they say they are paying a lot of money to be messed about, put onto overcrowded trains and they've had enough. as we've heard, it can only get worse it seems over the next few weeks. in addition to this timetable, liverpool vine street, major stations in the north—west, is closing for two months for

remodelling work. northern have suspended their service to the lake district for at least the next two weeks. anger there. manchester's mayor andy burnham is saying they should have this franchise removed, they are not capable of running this service any more. more he says should be offering substantial compensation to season ticket holders and advance ticket holders —— northern, he says should be offering. the company is opening the new timetable will improve things. they say all these problems are com pletely they say all these problems are completely within their control, delay to the electrification on the route between manchester and preston which means their driver training has been disrupted which means not all drivers get to drive the trains when they should be. little comfort to passengers. this company is also mired in industrial conflict with drivers, number of strikes with that row over guards on trains. thanks. tim muffett is at london bridge station this morning. problems in the south east, bring us

up—to—date? problems in the south east, bring us up-to-date? that's right. though the thames link is the operator which ru ns te ns thames link is the operator which runs tens links southern gatwick express and northern services. 20% of the uk's rail services. a huge amount of disruption over the last couple of weeks. i spoke to some commuters, some of whom their journey has been fine but others still very angry. 0ne lady told me her train was cancelled this morning and the one she got was way, way too crowded with his other passengers had to make their way onto it. from today here as well an emergency timetable clicking into place. 160 services have been withdrawn from thames link and great northern services. the idea is that by removing these last—minute cancellations, so destructive when people turn out to the station and find out their trains are cancelled, giving pre—advanced warning will at least help, it is hoped, those people to plan theirjourneys more carefully. but a lot of anger about

services over the last couple of weeks. sadiq khan, the mayor of london said that govia thameslink‘s performance had been wholly unsatisfactory. fingers crossed things will get better. information about people suspected of being under the influence of extremists is to be shared more widely, and more quickly, under a new strategy launching today. in his first major speech as home secretary, sajid javid will announce a change in the government's counter—terrorism strategy to deal with what he calls a shift in the threat faced by the uk. 0ur political correspondent chris mason has more. pausing to remember one year on. yesterday, an opportunity to reflect on the eight people killed and 48 people injured in the attack on london bridge and borough market lastjune. among the senior politicians, sajid javid, the new home secretary. today, in his first major speech on security since getting the job, he will say this: the security ministers told us about

the government's new counterterrorism strategy. intelligence services, if they hold information on someone like that, on the peripheral or who has come across the radar but is not currently engaged in plotting or anything else, that they share that information with as many partners and agencies as they can, so that we can make sure that people are alert to what those people are doing. that can be anything from working better with the private sector, such as vehicle hire, or indeed organisations such as amazon, so, procurement. if we see behaviours that are out of the ordinary, we can maybe do something about it. one of the most surprising and perhaps controversial plans is that m15, the security service, is to declassify the secret intelligence it holds of around 20,000 so—called "subjects of concern." information about these people will be widely shared with, for instance, local governments. the aim is to maximise the chances of detecting any potential terrorist attack before it happens. chris mason, bbc news.

learner drivers in england, scotland and wales will be allowed onto motorways for lessons from today. the change is part of an effort to ensure new drivers are better prepared for driving at speed once they've been allowed to throw away their ‘l‘ plates. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is at the national traffic operations centre in birmingham. we know that some of them have been out and about on motorways already. good morning. good morning, louise, we spoke to a driver who is probably the first learner driver at 5am this morning and we will hear from the first learner driver at 5am this morning and we will hearfrom him later. as you say, we are at highways england where they monitor the motorway network and from today, learner drivers will be allowed to go out in england, scotland and wales. there are a few caveats, this

will be voluntary, if you are a learner driver you won't be forced to have lessons on the motorway. it won't be part of the test. if you go out, you will have to go out with a qualified instructor with a dual controlled car, you won't be able to go out with your mum and dad as you can on other roads. why? a debate has been going on for a long time and government is saying this will improve road safety. vulnerable drivers, younger drivers are particularly vulnerable. 25% of fatalities on the road from 17—25 —year—olds. i have read some concern that if all of a sudden motorways are full of hundreds of learner drivers, will back in and of itself be saved? but most expert drivers at the rac, highways england, says this isa the rac, highways england, says this is a change for the good and if people get confident, they know how to use the motorway better while they are learning and that can only improve road safety. thanks. we will be back with you later. the grenfell tower inquiry will begin hearing evidence on the causes of the fire this morning. how the blaze started and developed,

safety measures in place and the response of the emergency services will all be examined in the coming weeks. last week, the inquiry heard moving testimonies of bereaved families. it's expected to take 18 months. at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a volcano erupted in guatemala. the fuego volcano, which is about 25 miles away from the capital guatemala city, has been spewing black smoke and ash into the sky. there are reports of flows of lava striking at least one village. several areas have been evacuated and the capital's airport has closed. police officers have visited a house in surrey where it's thought a hit man hired to kill the lover of former liberal leader jeremy thorpe is living. police had said andrew newton was dead — but he's now believed to be alive and using a different name. his apparent death was one of the reasons given to thorpe's former lover norman scott for dropping a conspiracy to murder investigation. stand—up comedian lee

ridley has been crowned britain's got talent champion. i started off in a disabled steps tribute band, we were called ramps. applause lee, who has cerebal palsy, wowed the judges and the millions watching on tv with jokes about his disability. we first met lee here on breakfast in 2012 when we reported on a gig he was doing in his home town of newcastle. being a stand—up was my dream job. i just thought it was a dream. eventually, i decided to give it a go because i knew i would regret it if i didn't. i think it is better to embrace my disability, both the good and bad parts, and let people see what it is like. many, many congratulations, well

deserved. 8:11am. if you're driving along the motorway later and see l—plates in the inside lane, don't worry. from today, learners in england, scotland and wales are allowed to be there providing they are with an approved instructor and in a car with dual controls. campaigners hope the new rules will improve road safety. earlier, breakfast‘s graham satchell spoke to an instructor and a learner driver as they prepared to try it out for the first time. you have a slip road, you're hard shoulder, things you don't encounter asa shoulder, things you don't encounter as a learner driver. it is important to stay calm. you are on the road, there's nothing you can do. you have to remain calm, listen to your instructor and carry on as you would. you think it's a good idea? it's brilliant because everyone who has passed their test will go on to the motorway at some point, you are better off doing it with a qualified instructor than you are on your own when there is more risk. good luck. ben, what do you think about this

idea? it's great, so many people haven't been on a motorway before a test, take your test, pass and then go on the motorway. a small percentage have lessons afterwards. those few have extra lessons on motorways, the rest don't. i heard stories about people getting scared on the motorway, stopping, getting phone calls, i am on the hard shoulder, i panicked and my dad had to rescue me. it is scary to think they are allowed on a motorway without practice. how did jonathan do? he did very well. he is a test standard. i wouldn't bring anyone on the motorway who is not. mark winn is the dvsa's new chief driving examiner. hejoins us from highway england's national operating centre in birmingham. good morning, thank you for your time. can you just explain for people there are strict regulations around who can do this, explained that again. of course. morning, everyone. the only people that and i onto a motorway is a learner driver who are with a fully qualified

approved driving instructor in a dual controlled car. they still have to display l plates. you can'tjust, with your mum and dad, just say let's have a go on the motorway. and thatis let's have a go on the motorway. and that is not where we are at at all. you are right. private practice with another full licence holder mike your mum and dad is a good thing but your mum and dad is a good thing but you can't do that on the motorway you can't do that on the motorway you can't do that on the motorway you can only do that with an approved instructor. this will not be part of the test itself? it is almost in addition or alongside, is that right? that's right. it won't be part of the driving test but we think it's important that as people learn to drive that they also learn how to use a motorway network safety. motorways are amongst our safest roads but for a new driver it can be quite an apprehensive time going onto the motorway for the first time. it is a really good initiative that the first time they do that is with a fully qualified approved driving instructor. given

what you are saying about that, about how important it is, some people might be surprised that you haven't gone the whole hog, to be honest and said, this definitely... everyone should be tested on this pa rt everyone should be tested on this part of driving technique. do you think this is a step towards that?” think this is a step towards that?” think we are heading in the right direction in terms of broadening the experience and the different types of roads that people go on when they learn, so they are as well prepared for once they passed their test. but not everyone is near enough to a motorway to include it in their driving test. it is partly dictated by geography? to a certain extent. but, you know, even where people don't have a motorway near by, they make use of dual carriage ways in a rural setting. it is a broad range of roads that people need to be experienced that before they venture and drive out on their own for the first time. we can see in the

screens behind you various stretches of motorway, i can't identify which is which. but there are some very busy stretches of motorway. i am thinking even with a driving instructor next to you and dual controls, there would be some very challenging situations to be in. there is one particular stretch there which is completely chock—a—block. maybe you would want to avoid that as your first encounter? i think that's right. having a professional instructor is a really good idea because they will know their local area, they will know their local area, they will know which junctions to avoid and the best time of day for the new driver to go out and practice. maybe avoiding peak times and rush hours and busy junctions. but avoiding peak times and rush hours and busyjunctions. but getting experience on a broader range of other motorwayjunctions so they fit in with the traffic flow and don't cause. . . in with the traffic flow and don't cause... they get the most from their motorway lesson without being stuck in a trafficjam. their motorway lesson without being stuck in a traffic jam. everyone likes to think they are a good driver, you will know this very well. sometimes people who have been driving for a long time are mistaken. what are the things people

get wrong about motorway driving? the important things to think about is lane discipline, making sure you are in the appropriate lane. i suppose my other one would be separation distance, having enough room around you and not driving too close to the vehicle in front, so you have more time to think, plan and react if things go wrong. thank you very much. cheap driving examiner. if you see l plates on motorways from today, it is allowed. given there is a driving instructor with dual controls. it is 8:17am. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. some of us had a lovely weekend. good morning. that's right. good morning. some of us had a beautiful weekend and some of us had some thunderstorms. this morning, mixed fortu nes thunderstorms. this morning, mixed fortunes and we have some lovely weather watchers‘ pictures. this one isa weather watchers‘ pictures. this one is a lovely sunrise. this is in bristol in the west. in the east a

different story, more cloud mist and fog. there is a bit of drizzle coming out of that cloud. that is the division we have got today, brighter in the west, cloudier in the east. also some rain coming our way later on. particularly in parts of scotla nd way later on. particularly in parts of scotland and northern ireland. showers this morning very close at the moment to the channel islands. high—pressure dominating weather as you can tell from the lack of isobars, hardly a breath of wind. these are the showers we are watching courtesy of this weather front, not very far away from jersey. cloudy start in central and eastern areas and some western parts. most of that will push back into central and eastern areas, brighter skies will be in the west and south. as i mentioned, there is some rain in the forecast and the met office has a yellow weather warning out for torrential downpours for dumfries and galloway, argyll & bute and northern ireland. like the last few days, they will be hit and

miss and by no means will we see them but if we can you catch one, you will know all about —— but if you will know all about —— but if you catch one. wales and south—west england, a shower two we are not immune either. it will start to brighton across the midlands later but where we hang on to the thickest cloud on the east coast will be the lowest temperature is —— it will start to brighten up. many of those showers will tend to fade overnight and we are looking at more cloud coming in from the north sea drifting across much of the uk through the course of the night. thick enough here and therefore spots of drizzle, patchy mist and fog and temperatures just down a degree or so on last night. having said that, it will still be quite uncomfortable for sleeping across southern part of england and south wales. tomorrow we have cloud but unlike today it‘s going to start brightening up from the north. scotla nd brightening up from the north. scotland will have a sunny day, the same with northern england, parts of east anglia and the wash,

lincolnshire and wales. at the far south of england and the channel islands will hang on to start brightening up from the north. scotla nd brightening up from the north. scotland will have a sunny day, the same with northern england, parts of east anglia and the wash, lincolnshire and wales. but the far south of england and the channel islands will hang onto the clouds. showers in the channel islands. northern ireland, you will have a bright day with sunny spells but the risk of some heavy showers. wednesday, again, some sea fret coming in from the north sea which will fade away across northern and eastern scotland but we will hang onto it across parts of north—east england, some drifting towards the north—west. elsewhere, dry weather and sunshine. the risk of showers in the channel islands again, possibly further north. temperature is a little bit lower than where they have been. —— temperatures a bit lower. thanks. if you live in england, do you feel proud to be english? the answer to that will likely depend on your age. a survey of more than 20,000 english people commissioned by the bbc suggests that almost three quarters of those aged over 65 are proud to call themselves english. that compares to less than half of 18 to 24—year—olds. our home editor mark easton has been travelling the country to try to find out why. exploring the canals and backwaters

of england‘s identities brings one to nottinghamshire, as english a county as you‘ll find. # st george in my heart, keep me english...# there‘s something defiant about the annual st george‘s day parade, here. why, why, why are people ashamed to be english? ijust don‘t understand it, at all. you‘re not ashamed. i‘m certainly not! why do we get called racist, when everybody else celebrates st andrew's day, st patrick's day? englishness is a variable quality. while almost three quarters of the over—65s say they are proud to call themselves english, among the young, it‘s less than half. it‘s felt strongly among brexit supporters, much less so for those who voted to remain in the eu. navigate 90 miles south—east, to cambridgeshire, and people‘s englishness is much more diluted.

10% of young people and 10% of graduates say they are embarrassed to call themselves english, and in this city, there‘s plenty of both. when patriotism or nationalism becomes a code for prejudice, i think that‘s what becomes problematic. richard the lionheart is a... he's a very poor icon, and a very poor representation of what englishness is and could be be taken to be. it's a supremacist view. it's a violent look at the past. the final leg of our journey along the navigable arteries of england, and we emerge into the rarefied atmosphere of planet london. in some parts of the capital, like here in islington, only half of people say they feel strongly english. a similar proportion say they feel strongly european, and a third of people here have a strong link with a country outside the uk. london is a truly international city, where identities can be discarded, absorbed into lifestyle.

would you ever call yourself english? see, this is the debate that i‘ve had, with some of my friends. i call myself british, british—indian, and they‘re like, "but you‘re english, because you live in england, you were born here." and i‘m like, "i don‘t know whether i‘d call myself english." i‘d call myself british—indian, i think. being english, unlike being british, is seen as an exclusive identity, an honour bestowed only upon those eligible. that is its weakness and its strength. mark easton, bbc news, england. it's it‘s been very relaxing watching that. mark is clearly relaxed. mark joins us now from regent‘s canal in central london. so many things to look at, particularly difference between ages and british? that's right. we asked different questions and one was how

strongly people felt english as opposed to pride. perhaps unsurprisingly, 80% of people in england said they had a strong english identity but actually, 82% of people said they had a strong british identity. there is clearly a lot of people who have both identities and feel them both strongly. what‘s interesting is that there are differences. for instance, among the ethnic minority people in england, the british identity remains pretty strong, but the english identity much weaker. that is one of the things that the english identity appeals to, people who have a long heritage, family, a ncestry who have a long heritage, family, ancestry in england. those people who have arrived more recently or have an ethnic minority tends not to wa nt to have an ethnic minority tends not to want to call themselves english. 0ne of the things we have noticed.” have two questions, one, do the welsh and scots have a stronger sense of identity? two, where our rosie andjim? sense of identity? two, where our rosie and jim? laughter —— where are.

rosie and jim? laughter -- where are. i can't answer the second one but the buzz when i know about! we did surveys in wales and scotland and northern ireland as pa rt of scotland and northern ireland as part of this. we wanted to see how they compared. with the english identity, as we have been discussing, the older generation tend to feel more english than the younger generation. actually, it's round the other way in wales, the welsh identity is stronger among the young than among older people. and in scotland, the scottish identity is much, much more common across all age groups. that is strong right across all the ages. what is your assessment? does this matter and does it matter that there are differences? i think it does. does it matter that there are differences? ithink it does. i think that how you relate to the country and how you relate to the people around you, your sense of belonging, your sense of identity, is really, really important. in terms of connectedness, in terms of feeling that you are part of something, part of a wider community

that shares your values and principles. and also it's about social cohesion. it's about making sure that places work. we need to understand in england the complexities of the identities at work. in this survey we were looking at national identities but also things like people's identities around a county or a city or a town or in village or a legendary identity. tomorrow i will look at people who still believe in dragons and while sales and all of that. who doesn‘t?! i am and while sales and all of that. who doesn‘t?! iam not and while sales and all of that. who doesn‘t?! i am not sure you are entirely dressed appropriately for canal boating. i feel you should be something more marine —based... i don‘t know. something more marine —based... i don't know. you've got to understand, charlie, i'm the captain! i have to look the part, don't you think? i have to wear the suit. you can choose to wear whatever you like. it gives me authority! thanks. and you can find out how strongly people identify with being english in your area by going to

bbc.co.uk/englishquestion. just type in your post code. you can find out what people in your area think. people who believe in dragons. who doesn‘t believe in dragons? ! you should, it is a good thing to do! see that on breakfast tomorrow. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we are back in a few minutes with the rest of the headlines. hello there. sunday brought some warm sunshine for some of us. we saw highs of 27 celsius in london. 25 celsius in birmingham. there will be some sunshine around through the day today, but this week does start off a bit cooler and cloudier for some of us. we will see some warm sunshine returning midweek. the temperatures recovering too, and we have some thundery showers in the forecast. there is the chance of some heavy, thundery showers later in the week, although some uncertainty in the detail. a fairly cloudy start

for many of us this morning. the best of the sunshine for wales, south—west england, perhaps into southern england as we move through this afternoon. the risk of one or two sharp showers here. that cloud lingering for central and eastern parts of england, perhaps for northern and eastern coasts of scotland. elsewhere, scotland, northern ireland, some good spells of sunshine, but with the risk of seeing a thunderstorm for south—west scotland and northern ireland. temperatures a little bit cooler for central and eastern parts of england. a maximum of around 23 celsius in the south—west. as we go through this evening and overnight, we will tend to see the showers dying down. we will see fairly extensive low cloud, some mist and fog developing as well across the uk. the cloud could just be thick enough for a few spots of drizzle, but a lot of dry weather to come overnight. temperatures a little bit cooler than they have been. an overnight low of around six celsius in the north—east. between 10—14 celsius in the south. we start the day tomorrow with plenty of cloud around again. could be some mist and murk to begin with, but it will gradually brighten up from the north—east. that cloud slipping its way southwards and thinning and breaking to allow for some sunny spells. it could lingerfor southern parts of wales, into south—west england, southern england, and some good

spells of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. but the chance of seeing a sharp shower in the afternoon in northern ireland. temperatures are a touch down where we see the cloud in the south—west, a maximum of around 23 celsius tomorrow. then as we move into midweek, we will see a lot of dry weather around and good spells of sunshine. temperatures as well starting to recover. that‘s how your forecast is looking. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. no deal. china warns the us that imposing sanctions will force it to cancel trade talks. live from london, that‘s our top story on monday the 4th ofjune. members of the g—7 say a trade war with the us could be just days away —
