in sport, andy murray says he hopes to be back for wimbledon but has had to delay his return to action. he's been recovering from surgery on a hip injury. and carol has the weather. good morning. thick enough for drizzle. first, our main story. authorities in guatemala say that nearly 200 people are missing following the eruption of the fuego volcano on sunday, which spewed lava and burning debris on villages nearby. a second eruption yesterday

prompted further evacuations and hampered rescue efforts. the number of confirmed deaths has now reached 75. will grant reports. it isa it is a scene they know all too well in this part of guatemala. fuego spewing smoke and ash, desperate families running of our lives. just days after the massive volcanic eruption destroyed entire villages, the volcano began to smoke again and the volcano began to smoke again and the emergency services decided to evacuate. following the huge pyroclastic lava flows, the ground beneath them were still dangerously hot and too precarious to keep searching for survivors. in the field and everyone but essential personnel off the mountain. the tiny community of el rodeo on the mountain slope will never be the same. some lost their homes, others

their entire families. buried beneath the ash our lives and livelihoods. you return to this village will discover they will not be spared creek. boris rodriguez foster's wife and family and has nowhere to term. translation: no one told us anything, no one came by to say it evacuate, nothing. people got out however they could. those who could get out, did and those who couldn't, well, god rest them. the emergency services are working around the clock, some literally until they drop, but they are struggling to cope. the disaster has left a trail of destruction that will take months to overcome in what is already one of the poorest countries the americas. the search for survivors continues in el rodeo but with each passing hour the likelihood of success is growing slimmer and to those families waiting for news further down the mountainside, the prospects are

looking grim. meanwhile in hawaii officials say hundreds of more homes have been destroyed overnight by lava from the kilauea volcano. a growing river of molten rock flowing from the foot of the volcano is believed to have demolished nearly 200 homes and filled in a small bay at the eastern tip of hawaii's big island. although the erruption has only been active for 3h days, the destruction is now almost on par with the damage caused during the last 35 years of volcanic activity. 30 square kilometres since it started has been engulfed by the lava since this started erupting. a computer failure that locked 1.9 million tsb customers out

of their online banking services is being investigated by the financial regulator. the financial conduct authority has also criticised the bank's chief executive, accusing him of giving too optimistic a view of services after a major systems overhaul left customers struggling to carry out transactions or access their accounts. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. it's more than six weeks since tsb customers found they couldn't get into their accounts. now the service is working better, but it's still unstable and 40% of the time people can't get help on the phone. the pressure is piling up on the chief executive, paul pester, who took the ill—fated decision in april to move millions of customers‘ accounts to a new system and is directly criticise now by the financial regulator. in a letter to the treasury select

committee, the fca says at the height of the crisis, paul pester gave mps and optimistic view of services which was too positive. and to customers the bank was not open and transparent, claiming the vast majority could not use their online accounts, when only half could. there's particular concern about an increase customers impacted by fraud. not all of them have receiving refunds from tsb as quickly as they're supposed to. today, tsb‘s directors will face intense questioning from mps on the failures. the bank says it's focused on restoring operations to the level customers expect and making sure they're not left out of pocket. simon gompertz, bbc news. the conservative party has been accused of ignoring islamophobia within the organisation by the chair of it's own muslim forum. mohammed amin said the party was perceived as being "anti—muslim" and had prioritised electoral concerns rather than taking "decisive action". ben wright is in westminster this morning: what more do you tell us on how

significant? it is significant and gives a sense of a growing concern within the party about howard ‘s leadership is dealing with the issue of islamic phobia. mohammed amin has been a party member for 35 years and says he doesn't want to rock the boat but feels he has to speak out because he doesn't think concerns that he has put forward have been listened to is should fish in the. the conservative muslim forum, to represent it was them is within the conservative party. mr amin said there had been more than a few isolated incidents in people don't ta ke isolated incidents in people don't take them seriously enough and many think it is a problem that needs to be addressed and it comes on the back of demands for an independent enquiry from them muslim council of britain, the former tory party chairman baroness darcy saying the tory party had to get a grip of this. it's an issue the tory party

will have to respond to more decisively. they say they have set up decisively. they say they have set upa new decisively. they say they have set up a new code of conduct and they are doing something about this but there is a sense this is getting more serious. theresa may is to hold talks in downing street today with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has been visiting leaders across europe to discuss how to limit iran's nuclear capabilities. he supported president's trump's decision to pull out of an international accord last month, a move which was condemned by britain, france and germany. three leading health think tanks have written to the prime minister calling for funding increases of 4 percent a year above inflation for the nhs. the chief executives of the king's fund, the health foundation and nuffield trust, argue that anything less will mean a drop in patient care and a growing backlog of critical repairs to hospitals. a new government plan for nhs funding in england is expected within weeks. tributes have been pouring in for the american designer,

kate spade, who has been found dead at her home in new york. the 55 year old was best known for designing handbags and a range of accessories. the kate spade brand became a household name with stores around the world. jon donnison reports. kate spade splashed onto the fashion scene kate spade splashed onto the fashion scene in the 19905 with kate spade 5pla5hed onto the fashion scene in the 19905 with a bright and colourful designs after she saw a gap in the market. there was a lack of interesting accessories that had a personality but still very elegant and functional. she was best known for her handbags, growing her company into a global life5tyle brand which she eventually sold in 2006. for many of her customer5, new5 2006. for many of her customer5, news of her apparent suicide at the age ofjust 55 came as a huge 5hock. kate spade wa5 age ofjust 55 came as a huge 5hock. kate spade was just somebody always looked up to, keep light —— life

in the world's smallest nightclub? this old red telephone box has been turned into a tiny little disco, complete with glitter ball, dance music and flashing lights. you go in, put a pound in the kiosk, lift the receiver and get to listen to a dance track. it was the brainwave of a councillor in the small devon town of king5bridge, who said he wanted to do something a bit different with the town's last phone kiosk. you put a pound in the music starts in the light 5tarts? that is what you do. i will tell you won't be doing that, andy murray. it's not going to work. we spoke tojudy

murray a few days ago. she said andy was fine but he's had to delay coming back from injury but hopes to play in wimbledon but has not played since last year and had hip surgery in january. since last year and had hip surgery injanuary. he since last year and had hip surgery in january. he says since last year and had hip surgery injanuary. he says he wants to be 100% ready when he returns. another man who might not be at wimbledon i5 novak djokovic. he says he doesn't know if he'll play on grass this season, after being knocked out of the french open by the world number 72 marco cecchinato yesterday. a tale of two tattoos. england's raheem sterling says he's not bothered about attention over the gun on his leg, and has his new squad number — ten — tattoed on his arm. and the apltly nicknamed boxer floyd ‘money‘ mayweather earned more than any athlete in the world last year. but there were no women in the top 100 of the forbes rankings. in the top 100 sports women and men.

interestingly, the highest earning woman is serena williams but at the next one down will be maria sharapova. interesting, isn't it. not a single woman in that whole list. yes. 0n the day that we have staph at dagenham talking about the suffragettes. i was confused as to what we are going to do but we are going to talk to carol. we will do the papers in a moment. many of us will see the cloud burn away and see some 5un5hine many of us will see the cloud burn away and see some sunshine and in some parts, a touch of frost first thing. the forecast today is a mostly dry one. lengthy spell5 of

5un5hine but the other thing worth bearing in mind is if you have an allergy to pollen, levels today are high or very high acro55 allergy to pollen, levels today are high or very high across england, wale5 high or very high across england, wales and moderate to high acro55 northern ireland are low. and in the far north of northern england. high pressure really dominating the weather. the weather is fairly settled. thi5 weather front has been here for the last couple of days. it will start to bring a small 5howers. thi5 will start to bring a small 5howers. this morning, and nippy start. all this cloud extending across diver5e —— southern scotland and northern england and after a bright start, you will find the cloud will come your way. later in the day, it will be in and break, notjust in cumbria but also northumberland. we are also looking at sun5hine, lengthy spell5 of sunshine. in the afternoon. the

northern ireland and also northwest scotland, there is a risk of a sharp shower. temperatures responding. not much cooler than the east coast. there is the front pushing in acro55 the english channel. london the it could be heavy and thunder revue. again, there will be some breaks, so mi55ed again, there will be some breaks, so missed and fog patches forming, across scotland. tomorrow, we start off with all the showers, a good ru5h coming in. again, the odd one of those could be heavy and thundery. we will still have some of that cloud coming in. el5ewhere, a lot of dry weather. a few 5howers.

you might catch one of two also common example, acro55 you might catch one of two also common example, across the north—west of scotland. we have had cloud the quite a while. still some showers a5 cloud the quite a while. still some showers as well. again, 5outhern counties, however there are showers are not all of us will catch one but by then, the brightest conditions are likely to be acro55 by then, the brightest conditions are likely to be across central and we5tern scotland and northern ireland but even here you may still catch the odd shower, by then, temperatures up to 23 at best. thank you very much, 5ee thank you very much, see you in about half an hour. on the front page of the sun and the daily mail, a bit more of the story involving michael mcintyre. you will remember that he had a watch stolen by a

knife wielding motorhead thug. they are widening this out to some of the other issues —— moped thug. they are widening this out to focus on the problem of rising crime rates in london. and this picture is on quite a few of the papers, something which happened in birmingham. the question they are asking, have we lost control of our streets? 0n the front page of the daily telegraph, that big picture, a very bright picture, and the launch of the royal academy summer exhibition. and the minister has attacked 0xbridge for its staggering failure to attract black student5. staggering failure to attract black students. they say they must look beyond exam results to achieve diver5ity. beyond exam results to achieve diversity. and i don't know how you feel about salad cream by a

particular brand, but it is having a rebound for the first time since it was invented over 100 years ago, it will be renamed sandwich cream. i don't know whether the salad idea put5 people off, or what it is, at the tendency of people to eat it in 5andwiche5 rather than on 5alad5. did they not try and scrap it and it was a big publicity stunt? could well be. the front page of the times talks about kate spade, a5 a lot of the papers are as well, and the guardian talking about similar stories, and the heathrow expansion plan we will be discussing later. lot5 plan we will be discussing later. lots of different things in the sports pages this morning. i will start with the back page of the time5, because it is basically everything you need to know. here we have novak djokovic, a shocking match yesterday, i don't know if you we re match yesterday, i don't know if you were watching. i was. when you say

shocking... the result... it was fantastic, they both played brilliantly. al5o fantastic, they both played brilliantly. also we have potential talk of a takeover at aston villa. we have raheem sterling talking about his tattoo i5 and ramos saying mo salah could have played on. and something really unusual happened yesterday. i have covered lots of england football pre55 yesterday. i have covered lots of england football press conferences, and they are all pretty much the same the whole time. if you could ju5t same the whole time. if you could just help me with that. something really unusual happened, and i hope this is interesting to fans as well i5 this is interesting to fans as well is to us, who go to the press conferences. they did kind of a speed dating thing with journalist5, i5 speed dating thing with journalist5, is the way i can describe it. they do it for the super bowl in america, and they got all the players and the de5k, a new basically took your turn and you got to speak to whoever you

wanted, at whatever time, you wait your turn and you could ask them what of you wanted to ask them —— asked them whatever you wanted to a5k asked them whatever you wanted to ask them. in the past, how was it done? my goodness, it was choreographed to within an inch of its life. you would have a player in front of a desk, a roomful of journalist5, front of a desk, a roomful of journalists, and attempts to stop you asking questions they didn't like. you would be told to be quiet if it was controversial. so this is a really open and different and refreshing approach, it is not something i have seen before. it has gone down really well in the papers this morning. they are even talking about raheem sterling's new tattoo, instead of his old tattoo. it is really tiny, you won't see it. that i5 really tiny, you won't see it. that is him with his england 5hirt really tiny, you won't see it. that is him with his england shirt on, and that has been tattooed on his arm. i suppose everyone gets to ask their own questions. and get their own version of their own story,

instead of everybody having one story which they need to write up in a different way. shall we talk about miss america, as well? contestants will no longer have to wear swim5uit5 or evening gowns after changes were introduced to modernise the 97—year—old event. it is being run by women at the moment, the chairwoman of the board said that we will no longerjudge candidates on the outward phy5ical will no longerjudge candidates on the outward physical appearance, according to the chairwoman of the board. i will draw your attention to this story in the times about the survey done by scientists into fat and lazy dog5. they have been investigating what happens with fat dog5. they don't move around much and probably eat too much, but in among some of the findings, which are not revolutionary, with no disrespect to the scientists involved, they didn't find out that much, but one of the things they 5aid much, but one of the things they said is that some of the fat dog5 much, but one of the things they said is that some of the fat dogs in the experiment were so lethargic

that four fifth5 of them failed to com plete that four fifth5 of them failed to complete enough trials for the re5ult5 complete enough trials for the results to be counted. no! they were too lethargic even to kind of register on the grasp of how lethargic are they —— graph. register on the grasp of how lethargic are they -- graph. fat dog5, do you like them? lethargic are they -- graph. fat dogs, do you like them? fat cats i approve of, but fat cats, clearly their health is at risk. but fat cat5 their health is at risk. but fat cats the same thing? for some reason it seems different. but there you go. ever wondered where all that data we use online, things like photos or music, is stored? the answer is massive computers in vast warehouses, which in turn uses a lot of energy to run. now, researchers think they have found a more sustainable way of storing our data, and it involves 5inking it off the coast of 0rkney. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones has been to see how it works. ever uploaded a photo, updated your

facebook status or maybe streamed some music? if so, you've probably use the data centre, where vast amounts of our personal information are now stored. but what if you could put all of that underwater? up in 0rkney, the tech giant microsoft is trying to do just that. this white cylinder is packed with computers. it was assembled in front and then brought here to be sunk. we're on our way across scarborough flowed to the deployment site, but i have one nagging question. why sync data centre? we use a lot less power to cool the data centre then we otherwise would. it is kind of a crazy experiment, but that's why we do research, is to try these things and sort of push is to new places. and if this is successful, maybe we will have the ability to deploy data

centres very rapidly, in perhaps as little as 90 days. this is the exact point where the data centre is going to be sunk and only ocean floor is a cable bringing power to it and then taking its data ashore and connecting it to the wider internet. a day on, with conditions in their sometimes rough stretch of sea very calm, the painstaking operation to put the data centre on the ocean floor is under way. 0rkney was chosen partly because it is a centre for pioneering renewable energy research, generating electricity from wind and wave power. orkney's produced over 120% of its electricity needs from renewables every year since 2012, so this is a place that is basically running on renewables, and so bringing a project like this to 0rkney make sense, because it will be basically being powered by renewables. the data centre is heading ever so slowly to the bottom of the ocean. at the control room on shore, they are getting ready to power it up. now, microsoft will monitor it for

up now, microsoft will monitor it for up to five years. this could prove to be the future of data storage, or maybe just a tourist attraction for the fish. data stored at the bottom of the sea. in 1968, a group of women at the ford carfactory in dagenham walked out of work to fight for fairer pay. steph is there this morning looking at what stands in the way of women in the workplace, 50 years on. good morning. good morning to you. have a look at theirs. things have changed somewhat since 50 years ago when, as you say, the female machinists went on strike. i will show you a little bit about where we are, because this is where they make engines for ford cars and vans. you can see some of those behind me, and i will give you a little tour. a lot of the guys who are just about to start their shift had just come in wondering what is going on this morning. you can see some of the

engines which will go in the ford transit van. they make 1.5 million of these every year, there are 2000 people employed and around one in four engine people employed and around one in fourengine in people employed and around one in four engine in every ford car around the world is made in dagenham. as you mentioned in the beginning, this is where women 50 years ago went on strike because they were trying to get the quality in terms of the recognition of their work being as skilled as men's. the machinists went on strike, and a lot of people say that resulted in the equal pay act shortly after that. given that and also 100 and year summer rae yea rs and also 100 and year summer rae years since and also 100 and year summer rae years since women and also 100 and year summer rae years since women got the vote, we have brought a replica of the van margery lees used to make the great pilgrimage to london, where we are today. it is really funny seeing the kind of old transport versus the brand—new engine. i will be talking to lots of different women about how things have changed since then, said

the vote, since 50 years ago, the women here going on strike. first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news. a 14—year—old boy has been charged with the murder of a man who was stabbed to death in chelsea. marc fontaine from walthamstow was found with multiple knife wounds on cathcart road last thursday evening. the teenager will appear before the old bailey tomorrow. london's gangs have ditched petty postcode rivalries in favour of lucrative organised drug dealing. researchers found social media is driving the recent rise in violence across london, but gang leaders are increasingly using a range of tactics to fly below the radar, according to academics at south bank university, who spoke to current and former gang members. it actually is making it much harder

for not only the police but for other agencies that are working with gangs, because it is very much about being off grid, being below the radar, and hiding activities there. so ten years ago, gang members would be explicit about saying they were pa rt be explicit about saying they were part of a gang. that is very rare these days. pollution from cars and vans in london costs the nhs more here than anywhere else in the country. environmental charity global action plan says just one car in the capital will cost the health service more than £7,000 over the vehicle's lifetime. the advice is to swap diesel cars to electric ones. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the 0verground, there is no service between edmonton green and enfield town, and severe delays between liverpool street to cheshunt, due to a fault with the track. also, the planned strikes on thejubilee and district lines have been called off. 0n the roads, as you can see, the traffic is building on the m25 clockwise from junction 7 for the the m23 interchange. in norbury, norbury crescent is closed in both directions between st helen's road and manor farm road due

to an accident. and on the a5, cricklewood broadway has one lane closed northbound at the junction with kara way, due to a burst watermain. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it is a much brighter start this morning. there may be a little bit of residual cloud around at first, but that will burn back quickly, leading to a day of sunshine and the temperatures are going to feel a little bit warmer than they did yesterday. so the cloud we have right at the start of the day will disappear quickly. blue skies are out, we have still got that north—easterly breeze, though, so that north—easterly breeze, though, so out along the essex coast perhaps a little bit chillier. but elsewhere, inland, we're looking at a maximum somewhere between 21 and 24 a maximum somewhere between 21 and 2a celsius in the sunshine. now, overnight tonight it will start of clear, but gradually the cloud will increase. coming up in the south, the risk of some quite sharp

showers. you may hear a rumble of thunder through the early hours of tomorrow morning. it is not going to be quite as chilly tonight, though, as it was last night. a minimum of between ten and 12 celsius. now, that shower is going to continue through thursday. again, one or two quite sharp ones locally. it's going to feel progressively more humid as we head towards the end of the week. some dry weather, some sunny spells on the forecast, but we are never very far away from a shower. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. coming up. the life of a florida woman with terminal breast cancer has been saved following an experimental course of treatment, we'll ask whether immunothera py could help patients here in the uk. when a perfect 10 is actually a size 16. we'll meet the woman who inspired one high street fashion chain to change its sizing after complaints from customers who struggled to fit into their clothes. and she's made us laugh with her roles in the thick of it

and alan partridge, now the bafta winner, rebecca front has put pen to paper looking at why ordinary life can be extraordinarily funny. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. authorities in guatemala say that nearly 200 people are missing after the eruption of the fuego volcano on sunday, which spewed lava and burning debris onto villages nearby. a second eruption yesterday prompted further evacuations of resident in the surrounding area and hampered rescue efforts. the number of confirmed deaths has reached 75. meanwhile in hawaii officials say hundreds of more homes have been destroyed overnight by lava from the kilauea volcano. a growing river of molten rock flowing from the foot of the volcano is believed to have demolished nearly 200 homes and filled in a small bay at the eastern tip of hawaii's big island. although the erruption has only been active for 3h days, the destruction is now said to be on par with the damage caused during the last 35 years of volcanic activity. a computer failure that locked 1.9million tsb customers out

of their online banking services is being investigated by the financial regulator. the financial conduct authority also criticised the bank's chief executive, accusing him of giving too optimistic a view of services after a major systems overhaul left customers struggling to carry out transactions or even access their accounts. the conservatives have been accused of ignoring islamophobia within the organisation by the chair of its muslim forum. in an interview with the independent, mohammed amin said the party is scared to "rock the boat" with a racism investigation at a time when they do not have a commons majority. the party said it had acted quickly when presented with evidence of inappropriate behaviour. theresa may is to hold talks in downing street today with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has been visiting leaders across europe to discuss how to limit iran's

nuclear capabilities. he supported president's trump's decision to pull out of an international accord last month, a move which was condemned by britain, france and germany. three leading health think tanks have written to the prime minister calling for funding increases of 4 percent a year above inflation for the nhs. the chief executives of the king's fund, the health foundation and nuffield trust, argue that anything less will mean a drop in patient care and a growing backlog of critical repairs to hospitals. a new government plan for nhs funding in england is expected within weeks. northern rail employees are to walk out on strike in a continuing row of the role of guards on trains. the operator, which runs local services across the north of england, is currently experiencing major delays and cancellations to trains, after the introduction

of a new timetable. members of the rmt union will stop work for 2h hours onjune the 19, 21st and 23rd. i nearly said something i didn't mean to. we should watch the dates. we got them, it's a strike. it's a strike and thou stopping. specific dates. we were talking about andy murray on monday. the t-shirt with the words, he is fine. not yet. andy murray says he hopes to be back from injury in time to play at wimbledon — but has delayed his return to action. murray's been out for a year with a hip injury, and had planned to play in a tournament in the netherlands next week but says he won't come back until he's100 per cent ready.

i been getting close to a year now, longer than any of my team expected at the beginning, but i'm getting closer and i started training a few days ago and am hoping to make my comeback during the grasscourt season. that's andy murray obviously on his front drive at home just casually sitting next to his car, as you do. the twelve time grand slam winner novak djokovic is out of the french open — knocked out in thrilling style by the unseeded marco cecchinato. the italian — who had never won a main—draw match at a grand slam before — took the first two sets as djokovic seemed to struggle with a shoulder issue. djokovic took the next set easily but as the former world number one looked to level the match cecchinato won an incredible 11th set tie—break 13—11 on his fourth match point.

ido i do know, i don't know if i'm going to play. at all? i don't know if i'm going to play on grass. i don't know what i'm going to do, i really don't know. i just came for the what i'm going to do, i really don't know. ijust came for the court, i can't give you that answer, guys. i can't give you that answer, guys. i can't give you any answer. the thing we know is that he doesn't know. it wasn't the main conference rome. he did more to do the big press conference and just sat there. did more to do the big press conference and just sat therem comes straight at court and people ask you questions. he doesn't know fuels to play on grass. let's hope we see him on grass. we've finally heard from the people at the centre of a couple of big stories. first off the real madrid captain sergio ramos, painted as the villain for his involvement in injuries to liverpool's mo salah and loris karius in the champion's league final.

raheem sterling's also been talking about that gun tattoo, loads of people have had their say on it, so let's hear from the man himself. you see a gun on someone's leg, you will automatically thinking, what the hell are you doing? from my point, i've had that since september. i know that there has been pictures of it before so why at this moment in time does it get reported about? it's something that started in the preseason and once the season gets about it and move on football until

you have the time to finish it. and ican you have the time to finish it. and i can see the reasons and i'm just happy to be here to represent england. he really answer that quite well. and kevin de bruyne dismissed concerns that he had problems with african players. i never saw something. like with the guys, i don't know what we accept all what's written, but somebody exaggerates. i never saw something in the club, ever. and floyd mayweather was the

highest earning athlete on the planet last —— planet last year. there are no women in the list. mayweather, nicknamed "money", made £205 million. serena williams is a's list that she has taken time off to have a baby. there are a few big names on the list. pollen levels are set to soar across parts of england and wales which means if you are a hay fever sufferer you are in for a tough time. the recent rain followed

by the warm weather is behind the high pollen count which is set to continue well into the weekend. so what can you do to reduce the symptoms? beverley adams—groom is chief palynologist at the national pollen and aerobiology research unit and joins us now. a lot of people are going to be struggling in the next few days and weeks. am afraid they are. we've had perfect conditions for the grass to grow to release pollen, it's a beautiful day outside again, perfect weather for lots and lots of pollen. it will last for several weeks. lots of already been suffering. why is it a particularly bad year? i'm afraid it is. the last eight or nine years have been fairly average. hayfever sufferers might not think so but they have been. wejust

sufferers might not think so but they have been. we just got a perfect set of situations coming together to allow the pollen to be released in high amounts. what can people do? most people will know if they are suffering from hayfever. what methods are there to alleviate the symptoms? you want to you —— you wa nt to the symptoms? you want to you —— you want to avoid the pollen, get as much information as you can and of course medication. avoiding the pollen means staying indoors when the pollen is at its peak. 0n pollen means staying indoors when the pollen is at its peak. on my days like today, that is in the morning, early, for later on in the evening because the clock —— the pollen gets mixed up in the air currents. then back down in the evening. 0n currents. then back down in the evening. on sunday night, free example, we have massive amounts of pollen in worcester, were i live, because it was so warm during the day that the actual pollen didn't come down until the middle of the night. i had a terrible night.

what's going on in the body physiologically? why do some people get it and other people don't? it's genetic. the starters, only so many people are going to get it. the pollen gets into the nose here and they become inflamed, histamine is produced, there is sneezing, runny eyes, itchy noses. then you get the subsequent symptoms of feeling tired and irritable and congested. we will ask later on whether weather forecasts can include those alarms and how hard it will be. people need to lead their lives. you talk about staying indoors, it is hard to do in practical terms. medication staying indoors, it is hard to do in practicalterms. medication is staying indoors, it is hard to do in practical terms. medication is what people need to get. going to your pharmacist. they have lots and lots

of information to help you. but people often don't realise is they can take medication in combination. an 18 histamine and a nasal spray can be taken together. a lot aren't aware of that. there are some sort of barrier jells sufi aware of that. there are some sort of barrierjells sufi can't take medication, there are things you can look at as well. then of course, you can get look at as well. then of course, you ca n get lots look at as well. then of course, you can get lots of information about when the pollen is going to be high. we arejust when the pollen is going to be high. we are just about to get that. a website that people can access on the front page. lots of detail there about pollen types which are in the airwill about pollen types which are in the air will stop have you been affected today? i haven't got my medication works really well for me. i'm lucky. we would love to here your tips well. do get in touch with others. a

little sneak preview. perfect conditions for the pollen levels today. we have got very high across much of england and wales, high across northern ireland and moderate around the strathclyde area and at this time of the year, its grass pollen. i suffer from this time of the year, its grass pollen. isufferfrom it this time of the year, its grass pollen. i suffer from it and this time of the year, its grass pollen. i sufferfrom it and it gives me as well. we are looking at the first thing this morning but some of that will retreat back to the east coast and some of it will break up and we will see some lengthy sunny spells. across northern england, the north midlands, lincolnshire, you are likely to hang onto it for much of the day, as high pressure is firmly in charge. high pressure has been in charge of our weather for the last little while, which is why conditions are so settled, and why,

of the pollen is being released. there is nothing really around to be shifting it, but we have a weather front very close by which will bring some showers into the channel islands is to go through the course of today, and then tonight and tomorrow we will see some of them getting into southern england. before that, though, we have got all this cloud around. it is a bright start in cumbria but the cloud will venture your way as we start in cumbria but the cloud will venture your way as we go start in cumbria but the cloud will venture your way as we go through the day. it will be later on in the day both cumbria and northumberland that we start to see that cloud break, and a little bit of late afternoon and early evening sunshine coming through. but across southern england and wales, where we had all the cloud yesterday, you are going to have some sunshine today and temperatures will respond accordingly. in london we will hit 24 accordingly. in london we will hit 2a possibly 25. for northern ireland, again you have got bright spells, sunny spells developing, with the risk of some sharp showers. that should break up through the day in scotland and we will start to see some sunshine. 0nce in scotland and we will start to see some sunshine. once again, we could

catch the odd sharp shower. through the evening and overnight we hang onto this cloud that we have got. the weather front comes up in the near continent, bringing showers across the channel islands again. and then across southern england. some of them in the south—east could prove to be heavy and potentially thundery. and in scotland there is the risk of some patchy mist and fog forming. again, a lot of places seeing double figures. it is going to be another mucky night, especially in the south. in fact, during the day on thursday and then into the weekend, we are looking at muqqy into the weekend, we are looking at muggy conditions across southern england by day as well. so thursday, here we go. we have the weather front bringing in this cloud and also some showers. we will still have a fair bit of cloud coming in from the north sea. again, across parts of yorkshire, for example, lincolnshire, but move away from those areas and we are back to dry and brighter conditions. not good news if you suffer from an allergy to grass pollen. we could see a shower or two to grass pollen. we could see a shower or two across to grass pollen. we could see a shower or two across northern ireland. again it has the potential to be sharp. so that leads us into

friday. well, friday is going to be quite a cloudy day, and once again there is the risk of showers. this time across parts of south—west england, into wales, we might see one in the channel islands. now, as you know, whenever i mention showers, i always put the caveat that not all of us will see them. they are notoriously difficult to forecast. you could have won but i might not have won down the road. that could be the scenario on friday. the brightest skies will be across central and western scotland and northern ireland, and by then our temperatures getting up into the midst to low 205. we are looking at possibly around 20 in glasgow. and thank you very much, especially for all the poland. —— pollen. in 1968, a group of women machinists working at ford's dagenham plant walked out of work to fight for fairer pay. their actions made history with the creation of the equal pay act. steph is at the factory for us this morning. have a look at this, this is the

ford plant in dagenham. i imagine it looks very different than it did 50 yea rs looks very different than it did 50 years ago, but you can have a scoot around here. they make 1.5 million diesel engines here every year. there are around 2000 people who work here as well, and as you were saying, this... it was here where 50 yea rs saying, this... it was here where 50 years ago the female machine is went out on strike occurs they were unhappy that they were not graded as skilled workers. it meant they didn't get the same pay as the unskilled men who worked here as well, and they went out and fought for that, and people credit it with helping create the equal pay act. given that it is 100 years since women had the vote, we brought the wonderful caravan here, one of the replica caravans which would have been used by the suffrages is when they were making a pilgrimage across

they were making a pilgrimage across the country to hype —— hyde park. i went to find out how things have changed. in1913, 50,000 in 1913, 50,000 people gathered in hyde park to demand votes for women. the rally marked the end of a peaceful mass march known as the great pilgrimage. women from all over britain travelled on foot, on horseback, and if they were lucky, on caravans like this one. now, this isa on caravans like this one. now, this is a replica of the caravan used by the suffragist marjorie lees to make that pilgrimage right up from 0ldham, in the north—west, to hear, hyde park, in london. and it wasn't just votes that the thousands of women were campaigning for here. this document was published around 1907 by the ws this document was published around 1907 by the ws pu, the organisation founded by emily pankhurst. now, as

you can see, it says all the more important and lucrative positions by two women. if you wanted a lucrative position you could come here, the city of london, but out of the 350 biggest companies in britain, only 13 have female ce05. so how much have things really changed?” 13 have female ce05. so how much have things really changed? i don't think women are still barred from achieving lucrative positions, but i do think that the unconscious bias remains. lucrative positions in positions of power are still barred to women, and from my own personal experience, if you are also a woman of colour and come from less privileged class background, things are ten times harder. women have to make a lot of sacrifices, as well, and there are a lot of difficulties that some women will experience. there is still room for improvement, it is getting better, though. getting better. this woman has been a ceo herself. we have come such a long way and we have to celebrate the progress, but it is unfinished business, and i think it is exciting

went... i think businesses need to look at all aspects of what they do, not just having a look at all aspects of what they do, notjust having a special programme for women. women like helena are not banned from the boardroom any more, but more than 100 years after the pilgrims marched to hyde park, women here and around the world are still fighting for equality in the workplace. we have managed to get the caravan, the wonderful caravan hit, into the factory. it is really amazing to see the kind of old ways of travelling juxtaposed against the new engine is being developed here. because we wanted to just find out how things have changed. i've got a couple of businesswomen here we can have a quick chat to about all of this. both of you two are very senior in your jobs, both of you two are very senior in yourjobs, senior lawyers, your own manufacturing business. let me start with you. it has not been an easy position to get to? far from it, and

i think it is important to remember that when you are a black woman you are almost doubly disadvantaged. we talk about in the sexuality now, where two or more diversity strands interact. so i have had a number of challenges, quite unique, because i am also black and female. and how have you overcome them, would you say? i have had to be very resilient. i have had to reach out for support when i came, really tenacious, not giving up, being really persistent, but it has been tough. there have been times in my career when it has been incredible it challenging to keep things going. and for you, how has it been for you, getting to the top? it is hard work, and when you say about being at the top, you have to be at the top and stay at the top as well. you've got a very diverse workforce. but i actually think it is great. but i actually think it is great. but that is what makes you pretty,

thatis but that is what makes you pretty, that is what makes you determined, and people talk about discrimination, but sometimes it is banter, as well. it is about taking it on the chin and learning, and being who you are, and not giving up. and in your industry, as well, the manufacture of fashion, a lot of people say there must be loads of women who work in fashion, but in the management side of things, that is where i imagine it was tough to break through the class ceiling. is where i imagine it was tough to break through the class ceilinglj think in retail is it is easier, actually, because there are a lot of women in the retail sector. where it is harder is manufacturing, because their art not a lot of women willing to do it. and there are many diverse nationalities, all pulling together as one, and nothing is better. do you enjoy your work? because that is the other thing. it is about the strive to the top, but do you feel like you have had to change, or anything? you know you are saying, can you be a man when you are there? how do you feel about that?|j can you be a man when you are there? how do you feel about that? i think you have to be best professional self, if that makes sense. i love what i do. i'm very passionate about being a lawyer and making sure that

more women act to get to the top in law. the only way that happens is that positive action of some sort. you know, targets, and looking at the reasons why women outnumber men at entry level in my profession, and yet in senior roles at this 20% female. ifind yet in senior roles at this 20% female. i find that appalling and i wa nt to female. i find that appalling and i want to do what i can to change that. it feels like we have been talking about this for ages. so why hasn't it happened? why isn't there a quality? what do we do?m hasn't it happened? why isn't there a quality? what do we do? it is a form of social change, and that ta kes form of social change, and that takes time. i say to people who are committed to changing the way things are that patience is one of the things that you need to bear in mind. it does take time. it takes time to build—up the pipeline of talent. it takes time to see that talent. it takes time to see that talent actually progress, as well. and what do you think it is about getting more people like you two?” think it is beginning to happen. we have education where we are giving people the skills, but it is about

the right person for the job. people the skills, but it is about the right person for thejob. i don't actually care if they are male orfemale, or genderfluid, you know, it is about having the right disposition, making things happen, and not giving up in life. very motivating words, as well. thank you very much for your time. i will be talking to lots of people throughout the morning, but i will you... shall we have a quick look at a machine while we are here? i will make sure i don't get run over on the way. you can see one of the engines, i believe these are from a ford transit van, so i will leave with that it'll look over there. we will poke a camera over the top. there you are. thank you very much indeed. and the horses are safely at home, as well, i imagine. always fascinating, the camera starts to come around and you see the conveyor belts and how things are put together. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news,

i'm alpa patel. a 14—year—old boy has been charged with the murder of a man who was stabbed to death in chelsea. marc fontaine from walthamstow was found with multiple knife wounds on cathcart road last thursday evening. the teenager will appear before the old bailey tomorrow. london's gangs have ditched petty postcode rivalries in favour of lucrative organised drug dealing. researchers found social media is driving the recent rise in violence across london. but gang leaders are increasingly using a range of tactics to fly below the radar, according to academics at south bank university, who spoke to current and former gang members. it actually is making it much harder for not only the police, but for other agencies that are working with gangs, because it is very much about being off—grid, being below the radar, and hiding activities there. so ten years ago, gang members

would be explicit about saying they were part of a gang. that's very rare these days. stansted has been been ranked the second—worst airport in the world, according to a study. flight compensation company airhelp found the terminal was only ahead of kuwait international. the research was based on performance and quality of service. but stansted airport says it is investing significant sums of money, and that this survey is a self—serving exercise based on very little evidence. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the 0verground, there is no service between edmonton green and enfield town and severe delays between liverpool street and cheshunt due to a track fault. that problem also causing minor delays between liverpool street and shenfield. also a planned strike on thejubilee and district lines have been called off. in norbury, norbury crescent is closed in both directions between st helen's road and manor farm road due

to an accident. and on the a5, cricklewood broadway has one lane closed northbound, at the junction with kara way, due to a burst watermain. lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's a much brighter start this morning. there may be a little bit of residual cloud around at first, but that will burn back quickly, leading to a day of sunshine. and the temperatures are going to feel a little bit warmer than they did yesterday, so the cloud we have right at the start of the day will disappear quickly. blue sky throughout, we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, so out along the essex coast, perhaps a little bit chillier. but elsewhere, inland, we're looking at a maximum somewhere between 21 and 2a celsius in the sunshine. now, overnight tonight it'll start of clear, but gradually the cloud will increase. coming up from the south, the risk of some quite sharp showers. you may hear a rumble of thunder through the early hours of tomorrow morning. it's not going to be quite as chilly tonight, though, as it was last night —

the minimum between 10—12 celsius. now, that shower risk is going to continue through thursday. again, one or two quite sharp ones locally. it's going to feel progressively more humid as we head towards the end of the week. some dry weather, some sunny spells in the forecast, but we're never very far away from a shower. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. it is hello — this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. a second eruption at the fuego volcano in guatemala, which has already claimed more than 70 lives. residents and rescue workers flee from new clouds of ash and molten rock, nearly 200 people are still missing after sunday's explosion. good morning — it's wednesday 6th june.

carol e; the weather. a fairly and carol has the weather. a fairly cloudy start the day but it will break out and we will see sunshine. as for pollen levels, they are filed very high across most of england, all of wales and northern ireland. good morning. first, our main story. authorities in guatemala say that nearly 200 people are missing following the eruption of the fuego volcano on sunday, which spewed lava and burning debris on villages nearby. a second eruption yesterday prompted further evacuations and hampered rescue efforts. the number of confirmed deaths has now reached 75. will grant has the latest from the scene. it is a scene they know all too well in this part of guatemala. fuego spewing smoke and ash, desperate families running for their lives. just days after the massive volcanic eruption destroyed entire villages, the volcano began to smoke again and the emergency services decided to evacuate. following the huge pyroclastic lava flows, the ground beneath them

were still dangerously hot and too precarious to keep searching for survivors. they ordered everyone but essential personnel off the mountain. the tiny community of el rodeo on the mountain slope will never be the same. some lost their homes, others their entire families. buried beneath the ash are lives and livelihoods. those who return to this village will discover nothing been spared grief. boris rodriguez lost this wife and family and has nowhere to turn. translation: no-one told us anything, no—one came by to say to evacuate, nothing. people got out however they could. those who could get out, did and those who couldn't, well, god rest them. the emergency services are working around the clock,

some literally until they drop, but they are struggling to cope. the disaster has left a trail of destruction that will take months to overcome in what is already one of the poorest countries in the americas. the search for survivors continues in el rodeo but with each passing hour, the likelihood of success is growing slimmer and for those families waiting for news further down the mountainside, the prospects are looking grim. meanwhile in hawaii officials say hundreds of more homes have been destroyed overnight by lava from the kilauea volcano. a growing river of molten rock flowing from the foot of the volcano is believed to have demolished nearly 200 homes and filled in a small bay at the eastern tip of hawaii's big island. although the erruption has only been active for 3h days, the destruction is now said to be on par with the damage caused during the last 35 years of volcanic activity. there is a problem there with the

lava flows. we will keep you up—to—date with what is happening, and also the other areas affected at the moment. these are the latest pictures from hawaii. a computer failure that locked 1.9million tsb customers out of their online banking services is being investigated by the financial regulator. the financial conduct authority has also criticised the bank's chief executive, accusing him of giving too optimistic a view of services after a major systems overhaul left customers struggling to carry out transactions or access their accounts. here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. it's more than six weeks since tsb customers found they couldn't get

into their accounts. now the service is working better, but it's still unstable and 40% of the time people can't get help on the phone. the pressure is piling up on the chief executive, paul pester, who took the ill—fated decision in april to move millions of customers' accounts to a new system and is directly criticise now by the financial regulator. in a letter to the treasury select committee, the fca says at the height of the crisis, paul pester gave mp5 and optimistic view of services which was too positive. and to customers the bank was not open and transparent, claiming the vast majority could not use their online accounts, when only half could. there's particular concern about an increase customers impacted by fraud. not all of them have receiving refunds from tsb as quickly as they're supposed to.

today, tsb‘s directors will face intense questioning from mp5 on the failures. the bank says it's focused on restoring operations to the level customers expect and making sure they're not left out of pocket. simon gompertz, bbc news. the conservative party has been accused of ignoring islamophobia by the chair of it's muslim forum. mohammed amin said the party was perceived as being "anti—muslim" and had prioritised electoral concerns rather than taking "decisive action". ben wright is in westminster this morning: then, this is a significant voice from within conservative ranks. yes, mramin has been from within conservative ranks. yes, mr amin has been a conservative party memberfor 35 mr amin has been a conservative party member for 35 years he chairs the group within the party which represents muslim conservative members and says he doesn't want to rock the boat is concerned that the issue of islamic phobia is not being taken seriously enough. it is dealt with some of the low—level cases that some of the more problematic

ones have been ducked and he thinks there should be an independent enquiry into the whole issue of islamophobia and because of the position he has, it is a significant intervention comes on the back of calls from the muslim council of britain. in the former tory party chairman, to this issue to be looked at far more thoroughly within tory ranks. the conservative party itself says it has issued a new code of conduct. it has been quick to take up conduct. it has been quick to take up and investigate complaints as they have arisen. this intervention puts more pressure on to the conservative party to look at this issue more seriously. thank you. theresa may is to hold talks in downing street today with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has been visiting leaders across europe to discuss how to limit iran's nuclear capabilities. he supported president's trump's decision to pull out of an international accord last month, a move which was condemned by britain, france and germany.

an australian woman has died after contracting hepatitis a from a packet of frozen pomegranate. about 2,000 packs of the contaminated fruit were sold and it has been linked to 2a cases of the disease which attacks the liver. australians have been urged to check their freezers and discard packets of the fruit. three leading health think tanks have written to the prime minister calling for funding increases of 4 percent a year above inflation for the nhs. the chief executives of the king's fund, the health foundation and nuffield trust, argue that anything less will mean a drop in patient care and a growing backlog of critical repairs to hospitals. a new government plan for nhs funding in england is expected within weeks. tributes have been pouring in for the american designer, kate spade, who has been found dead at her home in new york.

the 55 year old was best known for designing handbags and a range of accessories. the kate spade brand became a household name with stores around the world. jon donnison reports. kate spade splashed onto the fashion scene in the 19905 with her bright and colourful designs after she saw a gap in the market. there was a lack of interesting accessories that had a personality but still very elegant and functional. she was best known for her handbags, growing her company into a global lifestyle brand which she eventually sold in 2006. for many of her customers, news of her apparent suicide at the age ofjust 55 came as a huge shock. kate spade was just somebody i always looked up to, kept life light and happy and fun and when something like that happens to someone like that, you never know what they are going through. everywhere you go, in paris in madrid, she is famous, she is famous.

it's so sad, she is only 55 and this isjust terrible. many celebrity fans paid tribute on social media: chelsea clinton said: the actress lena dunham said: in a statement, kate spade's family asked for privacy, saying they were devastated and would miss her terribly. jon donnison, bbc news. northern rail employees are to walk out on strike in a continuing row of the role of guards on trains. the operator, which runs local services across the north of england, is currently experiencing major delays and cancellations to trains, after the introduction of a new timetable. members of the rmt union will stop work for 2h hours onjune the 19, 21st and 23rd. let's return to our main story this morning. around 200 people are missing and 75

are dead as a result of the explosion of the fuego volcano in guatemala two days ago. ana maria mendez libby works for 0xfam and is involved in the relief effort, shejoins us now from guatemala city. at least, there would be approximately 400— 600 families composed of more or less 6—8 members each. it can really bring up the numbers of dead. what at the moment are the priorities? the priorities right now trying to continue the rescue efforts and evacuate people that are still in the area. it has been very challenging since sunday. the eruptions have not stopped and

we have had a minimum of two per day. the effort has been complicated it's also been complicated for the population in the area. it still very challenging and it's an ongoing events that has not stopped and we cannot envision when it is going to stop and we had the factor of heavy rain, we know that things can get much more complicated. people going into this are in danger themselves. there was one rescuer, and people are working on a very harsh conditions. it's still not safe. the

equipment is not ideal. people are going in but also family members and relatives are trying to search loved ones and tried to go back to the villages to see what they can find. there is a lot of exposure, both for rescu e rs there is a lot of exposure, both for rescuers and tried to provide relief for the communities into being exposed to these constant volcanic activities. very close to the capital city. we are the officials say up to 200 are missing the keating picked there could be many hundreds more, do you? yes, yes. since we know up to now at least two communities have not even been assessed. we know that at least according to survivors, people who belong to those communities, there

are approximately 300 families each. thank you very much are joining us in talking about the ongoing relief effort. thank you so much. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you both. if you have an allergy to grass pollen, this will not be good news for you. the levels are high or very high across the levels are high or very high a cross m ost the levels are high or very high across most of england, all of wales and also northern ireland. they have gone up since yesterday across parts of the midlands and also northern ireland and around the strathclyde area, so bear that in mind. grass pollen is present untiljuly. at the end ofjune, the pollen kicks in again until september. what we have this morning is a lot of cloud

around. the cloud is click here and there to produce some drizzle, but a lot of it will tend to burn away, and then it will be mostly dry day with some sunshine, but not absolutely everywhere. we still have high pressure very much in charge of our weather, which is why things are very much the same, and you can see this weather front has been with us for a few days across the north of france. it will come our way later on the night and tomorrow, wringing further showers across southern england and in the south wales. this morning we have a lot of cloud around, producing some drizzle across the south—west of england, for example. some drizzle coming out of it across parts of north—east england. it will drift over towards cumbria and also lancashire through the day. by the end of the afternoon we will start to see it break up and we will start to see it break up and we will start to see it break up and we will see some sunshine, as we should do across northumberland. after a cloudy day in southern areas yesterday, it is a much brighter day to day. the sun will come out, lengthy sunny spells, hires up to 2a or 25 lengthy sunny spells, hires up to 2a or25 in lengthy sunny spells, hires up to 2a or 25 in london. for northern

ireland, you will see sunny spells today, but there is the risk of the odd sharp shower, and a lot of cloud currently across the southern scotla nd currently across the southern scotland in particular. that will tend to burn away, and a lot of the cloud we currently have pushing away towards the north sea coastline. it is less likely to linger, more likely across eastern england, but again we could see the odd shower in the north—west. as we have through the north—west. as we have through the evening and overnight, more cloud coming in from the north sea. 0ur weather front skipping up from the near continent brings showers across the channel islands, eventually into southern counties of england. we could see heavy bursts around the south—east, the london area, possibly even the odd flash of lightning as well. we are likely to see some fog patches forming across parts of scotland. that is how we are going to start the day tomorrow, showers across southern areas including the channel islands, and if anything they will move further north. we will start to see some of those developing in wales. but they

are showers so those developing in wales. but they are showers so not those developing in wales. but they are showers so not all of us will see them. fog patches were left across scotland and as we drift northwards, many having a fine and dry day with some sunshine. a little less cloud across the of england. temperatures up to the low 205. friday, there will be a lot more cloud around, and again they will still be some showers in the south, particularly in the south—west and southern parts of wales. you could see or two coming in across northern ireland as well, so the lion's share of the sunshine will be across central, eastern and southern scotla nd central, eastern and southern scotland as well is northern ireland. temperatures similar to what we are looking at in the next couple of days. thank you very much. i will keep going now. it has been described as a historic moment — the government go—ahead for a third runway at heathrow airport. ministers say it will boost the economy and create jobs, but others say the money should be invested in other parts of the uk. so will the expansion deliver on its promises?

henri murison is from the northern powerhouse partnership, and joins us here in the studio. and the aviation analyst john strickland is in our london newsroom. i will start in the studio, henry, given where you work and all of the rest of it. do you think it is right that heathrow should be chosen to have the extra runway?” that heathrow should be chosen to have the extra runway? i think the reality is that in the north of england we have lots of runways already. we have perfectly good ones that can get 55 million people away and currently only 25 million users. the reality is that london needs another runway. the announcement that didn't get any publicity yesterday was the government is committed alongside building the third runway to better use the ru nways we third runway to better use the runways we have in the north of england. we think that is really good news for our economy, because fundamentally if we can grow the number of long haul flights, especially direct from places like manchester, around the world, that will give us a second valuable gateway for international markets. heathrow might not be built until the early 20 305, and if we invest

in the collectivity of other airports, to the rest of england, for instance, we can make sure they can take more of the strain and we are not simply reliant on heathrow for all of our needs. if i understand you correctly, and other regions will have a similar thought process , regions will have a similar thought process, while you think that london needed more capacity, are you concerned that the decision to expand that heathrow inevitably means that you are less likely to have another airport hub elsewhere? imean, is have another airport hub elsewhere? i mean, is that part of the problem? i think ironically i don't think thatis i think ironically i don't think that is an issue. the problem would be of the government didn't connect to co nta ct be of the government didn't connect to contact to be the places like manchester. if we build the northern rail between the cities and manchester airport, we will have 10 million people within 90 minutes of that, and we will have the passenger break we want to see at manchester across the north. the government hasn't committed formally to that scheme, we are waiting on the budget to see that commitment, but in the

strategy yesterday the government committed to use the capacity at manchester airport. they need to improve service access, the ability by road and rail to get to the same airports. you are an aviation consultant, and what about the expansion of heathrow? is that where investment should be going, in your view? i share many of the views your other guest just expressed. view? i share many of the views your other guestjust expressed. it is a positive step forward to have it supported and going ahead, as far as the government is concerned. it is the government is concerned. it is the airport that airlines want to see runways at. london has its own pool see runways at. london has its own pool, in terms of business and tourism and density of population, the number of people travelling on business, who tend to pay a bit more, they are very substantial and support viable, sustainable operations for airlines, especially on long haul flights. operations for airlines, especially on long haulflights. even in london we need support on some of the long haulflights we need support on some of the long haul flights the people connecting to other parts of the uk. that is the double benefit, having those extra passengers allows long haul flights to work out of london, but

also gives connectivity to the region. if we look at the case of manchester, for example, itself it enjoys a large population, a large catchment area, and has been successful at gaining both long haul and shorthaul flights. that is not the case for the whole of the uk. simply put, many flights would not work out of smaller regional airports, and are not profitable either because there are fewer people, and because of that smaller number of people, few of them pay higher business class fares. a good example would be in the best, in the highlands of scotland. the population is so small it can't sustain long haul flights, population is so small it can't sustain long haulflights, but population is so small it can't sustain long haul flights, but we have seen recently inverness has been connected back to heathrow, and they have seen a rise in visitor numbers to inverness and the highlands of about 11%. access to london has been really beneficial for them. you already made the link aboutjoined for them. you already made the link about joined up thinking for them. you already made the link aboutjoined up thinking to do with the railways, for example. the north of england, particularly, are

reeling at the problems with the train timetables and northern rail. 0n the one hand, they are trying to improve the system, but in reality what has happened is utter chaos, and that is a huge frustration, isn't it? it is a huge issue for people across the north of england trying to get to work and get home and get their kids to bed. what we are calling for, and george osborne mentioned this yesterday, this isn't just an issue for the north. this is affecting uk productivity, and we need to make sure that, fundamentally, we invest in this infrastructure and deliver better improvements. when in the structure does come, the problem with this issueis does come, the problem with this issue is that network rail were not managed properly. the north needs to managed properly. the north needs to manage its transport, having the keys to the car going forward. we have had too many people not making the right decisions for us in the north. it is time for us to make our own decisions and do the job ourselves. just one last question.

heathrow will have a massive impact on people living below it, around it, and all the rest of it. what are your thoughts on that? well, of course it has already been announced that there will be compensation. that is the only way to approach it. there has to be a sensitive approach to people living nearby, whether it is the issue of noise, emissions, compulsory demolition of homes, this is all understandably very sensitive for those affected. we have to look at aviation and global access. it is simply essential to the uk as a 21st century economy. if we are really serious about doing business with the rest of the world, especially in a post racks at environment, we need a post racks at environment, we need a hub airport, which will benefit not only the london area but the uk, by giving them the space to have more shorthaulflights by giving them the space to have more shorthaul flights from around the uk regions to link up to that worldwide access and help everybody both in terms of business and tourism. thank you both for your time. there is a link to what we are

talking about next in terms of technology and change in the workplace. 50 years ago, a group of women at the ford factory in dagenham walked out to fight for fairer pay. so what is getting in the way of women's equality in the workplace in 2018? steph can tell us more. good morning to you. i am now in the plant. 0bviously good morning to you. i am now in the plant. obviously very different from what it was like 50 years ago. you can see some of the engines they make zipping past me this morning. that is an engine from a transit van. they make1.5 that is an engine from a transit van. they make 1.5 million of them every year. van. they make 1.5 million of them every yea r. 50 van. they make 1.5 million of them every year. 50 years ago here, female machinists walked out on strike because they were campaigning to get equal recognition for their work, equal to men. to get equal recognition for their work, equalto men. 0bviously to get equal recognition for their work, equal to men. 0bviously 50 yea rs later work, equal to men. 0bviously 50 years later this place is very different. shall we have a walk and chat about this? what is it like working here, and what do you do?” ama working here, and what do you do?” am a group leader on machining, and

i have got a team and we make the components that are then assembled on this reduction line. it is still an industry that has a lot of men in it. do you feel like there are still barriers, as a woman? there are definitely positive changes that can still be made, but there has been a lot of positive change that has been put in place, and i certainly don't feel like it is a limitation for me. excellent. well, thank you very much for your time. i will let you get on and get back to yourjob. but really fascinating to be here, and as you might have noticed, as we walk past, we have snuck in the caravan. this isa we have snuck in the caravan. this is a replica of the one used by marjory lees to make the great pilgrimage. it is amazing to see the old modes of transport versus the new engines here. more from me a little later. first let's get the news, travel and weather wherever you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel

london's gangs have ditched postcode rivalries in favour of lucrative organised drug dealing. researchers from south bank university also found that gang leaders are using a range of tactics to fly under the radar. they spoke to current and former gang members. it actually is making it much harder for not only the police, but for other agencies that are working with gangs, because it is very much about being off—grid, being below the radar, and hiding activities there. so ten years ago, gang members would be explicit about saying they were part of a gang. that's very rare these days. a university lecturer who was beaten up by burglars is going to the high court to try to stop the closure of half of london's police stations. paul kohler believes the only reason he survived the attack is because officers arrived at his house in wimbledon, from the nearest station, within eight minutes of a 999 call. back in november, sadiq khan announced plans to close 37 of 73 stations to save money.

stansted has been been ranked the second—worst airport in the world, according to a study. flight compensation company airhelp found the terminal was only ahead of kuwait international. the research was based on performance and quality of service. but stansted airport says it is investing significant sums of money, and that this survey is a self—serving exercise based on very little evidence. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the 0verground, there is no service between edmonton green and enfield town and severe delays between liverpool street and cheshunt, due to a track fault. that problem also causing minor delays between liverpool street and shenfield. the track fault at liverpool street is also causing delays on greater anglia and stansted express services. 0n the roads, one lane is closed on a101; woodford new road southbound, that is just after waterworks corner, due to an accident. in norbury, norbury crescent is closed in both directions between st helen's road and manor farm road, due to an accident.

let's have a check on the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's a much brighter start this morning. there may be a little bit of residual cloud around at first, but that will burn back quickly, leading to a day of sunshine. and the temperatures are going to feel a little bit warmer than they did yesterday. so the cloud we have right at the start of the day will disappear quickly. blue sky throughout, we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, so out along the essex coast, perhaps a little bit chillier. but elsewhere, inland, we're looking at a maximum somewhere between 21 and 2a celsius in the sunshine. now, overnight tonight it'll start of clear, but gradually the cloud will increase. coming up from the south, the risk of some quite sharp showers. you may hear a rumble of thunder through the early hours of tomorrow morning. it's not going to be quite as chilly tonight, though, as it was last night — the minimum between 10—12 celsius. now, that shower risk is going to continue through thursday. again, one or two quite sharp ones locally. it's going to feel progressively more humid as we head towards the end of the week. some dry weather, some sunny

spells in the forecast, but we're never very far away from a shower. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. authorities in guatemala say that nearly 200 people are missing after the eruption of the fuego volcano on sunday, which spewed lava and burning debris onto villages nearby. a second eruption yesterday prompted further evacuations of resident in the surrounding area and hampered rescue efforts. the number of confirmed deaths has reached 75. it's still very challenging, it's an

ongoing event and we can't envision when it. or is to win that at least two communities have now been given access and we know that at least according to survivors, people who belong to those communities, approximately 300 families each, it could really rise. that was one of the relief workers we spoke to earlier. meanwhile in hawaii officials say hundreds of more homes have been destroyed overnight by lava from the kilauea volcano. a growing river of molten rock flowing from the foot of the volcano is believed to have demolished nearly 200 homes and filled in a small bay at the eastern tip of hawaii's big island. although the erruption has only been active for 3h days, the destruction is now said to be on par with the damage caused during the last 35 years of volcanic activity. a computer failure that locked

1.9million tsb customers out of their online banking services is being investigated by the financial regulator. the financial conduct authority also criticised the bank's chief executive, accusing him of giving too optimistic a view of services after a major systems overhaul left customers struggling to carry out transactions or even access their accounts. the conservative party has been accused of ignoring islamophobia by the chair of it's muslim forum. in an interview with the independent, mohammed amin said the party is scared to "rock the boat" with a racism investigation at a time when they do not have a commons majority. the party said it had acted quickly when presented with evidence of inappropriate behaviour. theresa may is to hold talks in downing street today with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has been visiting

leaders across europe to discuss how to limit iran's nuclear capabilities. he supported president's trump's decision to pull out of an international accord last month, a move which was condemned by britain, france and germany. three leading health think tanks have written to the prime minister calling for funding increases of 4 percent a year above inflation for the nhs. the chief executives of the king's fund, the health foundation and nuffield trust, argue that anything less will mean a drop in patient care and a growing backlog of critical repairs to hospitals. a new government plan for nhs funding in england is expected within weeks. tributes have been pouring in for the american designer, kate spade, who has been found dead at her home in new york. the 55 year old was best known

for designing handbags and a range of accessories. the kate spade brand became a household name with stores around the world. her family are devastated. an australian woman has died after contracting hepatitis a from a packet of frozen pomegranate. about 2,000 packs of the contaminated fruit were sold and it has been linked to 2a cases of the disease which attacks the liver. australians have been urged to check their freezers and discard packets of the fruit. we heard from judy murray at the beginning of the week. she was right here. andy murray is absolutely fine but is not find enough to play at. he is hitting balls, his training. he is hitting balls, his training. he said he hopes to be back from injury in time to play but has delayed his return to competitive

action. he's been out for a year now with the hip injury and about to play in the tournament in the netherlands that city won't come back until he is 100% ready. it's been a tough year for him. murray's been out for a year with a hip injury, and had planned to play in a tournament in the netherlands next week and says he's close to a reyurne, but won't come back until he's100 per cent ready. the twelve time grand slam winner novak djokovic is out of the french open — knocked out in thrilling style by the unseeded marco cecchinato. the italian — who had never won a main—draw match at a grand slam before — took the first two sets as djokovic seemed to struggle with a shoulder issue. djokovic took the next set easily but cecchinato won an incredible 11th set tie—break 13—11. djokovic understandbly annoyed afterwards and wouldn't confirm that he'd play at wimbledon. i do know, i don't know if i'm going to play.

at all? i don't know if i'm going to play on grass. i don't know what i'm going to do, i really don't know. ijust came from the court, i can't give you that answer, guys. i can't give you any answer. we've finally heard from the people at the centre first real madrid captain sergio ramos, painted as the villain for seeming to take out half the liverpool team in the champion's league final. he says on mo salah: he went on to say that salah: he is basically saying not guilty.

none of that was his fault, he just slipped. england's raheem sterling's also been talking about that gun tattoo. loads of people have had their say on it, so let's hear from the man himself. you see a gun on someone's leg, you will automatically be thinking, what the hell are you doing? from my point, i've had that since september. i know that there has been pictures of it before so why at this moment in time does it get reported about? it's something that started in the preseason and once the season gets started, you forget about it and move on football until you have the time to finish it. and i can see the reasons and i'm just

happy to be here to represent england. and boxer floyd mayweather was the highest earning athlete on the planet last year but there are no women in the top 100 of the forbes rankings. mayweather, who's fittingly nicknamed ‘money‘, made £205 million from his mega fight with conor mcgregor. serena williams was on last year's list but has taken time off to have a baby. the top 100 athletes turned £3 billion. tiger woods is not even doing badly.

it's all the sponsorship money. roger federer, number seven. it's all the sponsorship money. roger federer, numberseven. lots it's all the sponsorship money. roger federer, number seven. lots of american footballers and basketball players. shopping for clothes can be both a pleasure and a pain, but for many fashionistas there's nothing more infuriating when the size that suited you in the last shop doesn't make it over your hips in the next. vanity sizing, where retailers understate clothing sizes to make shoppers feel slimmer, has long been a trick of the trade, but after years of complaints from its customers, the fashion retailer, h&m is to resize it's uk women's range. in a moment, we'll speak to the campaigner who brought about the change. but first, we asked shoppers in manchester if size really matters.

iam i am confused by size is sometimes in different shops because it depends on the material orjust on the style of clothes they might be. it can be really annoying when you are this size in one shop and a bigger size in another. it'sjust not useful. inside trying to find your size because you try a size on and you think that's your size but it isn't and you just have to try other sizes rather than just, that's my size. i could be one t-shirt size and one shop in the next shop, i'm a large or medium. it flits between the two. i don't take it to heart, just because i have sort of learned that it can be so different and so buried that it's sort of luck of the draw, i guess. i went in buried that it's sort of luck of the draw, i guess. iwent in to buried that it's sort of luck of the draw, i guess. i went in to try to buy some suit trousers the other day and they were completely the wrong size and they were two sizes up so it doesn't make you feel too good.”

could go in from 12 to 16 so when you go in the shop a new look, ok, that looks 0k, by the same token, when you try it on, it's either too big or far too tight. i never seem to get it quite right, i have to say. we'rejoined by becs parker, who has helped pursuade h&m to make this change and well as maria malone, lecturer of fashion business at manchester metropolitan university. tell us the problem you had.” tell us the problem you had. i went into h&m a couple of months ago and i bought, well, tried to buy a pair of skinnyjeans, i bought, well, tried to buy a pair of skinny jeans, went i bought, well, tried to buy a pair of skinnyjeans, went into the changing room and couldn't get them past my fires. i've always been a size 1a, i am very comfortable but i was absolutely gutted i couldn't get them past year. so you are going to have to buy 16 or 18? and sometimes h&m doesn't stock past 16. i wasn't

annoyed they couldn't hit me, i was annoyed they couldn't hit me, i was annoyed they couldn't hit me, i was annoyed they were selling it as a size 1a but it wasn't. annoyed they were selling it as a size 14 but it wasn't. when you posted yourself, that is midway through the process. it was very, very frustrating. it's brave of you to do this in the first place. just explain, for those who don't understand, you previously brought trousers and other places. you had a goodidea trousers and other places. you had a good idea of what you should be able to wear. of always been a size 12, 14 andi to wear. of always been a size 12, 14 and i have bought other trousers from h&m in the past but it was just this one pair of jeans from h&m in the past but it was just this one pair ofjeans i wanted. maria you are an expert in the fashion industry and there is no one size fits all. there is not particular sizing, is there? there used to be in it was a very slim

cell, probably a size 12 in the 1960s cell, probably a size 12 in the 19605 would be a size 16 now because we have changed as well. a lot of companies based their sizing on their basic block and that block is particular to the customer. what do you mean? a block of pattern. they start off with a base pattern, they are to ease on therefore fit and comfort, maybe easeful style. your blouse is a much slimmer but because i've got a lot of space in this blouse, its bag you're in oversized. you will see a boyfriend cut and a skinny cut in a pair ofjeans. but they might be labelled the same size. with h&m, its scandinavian and i went to the head office in sweden in stock 0rme and everybody in the street is much taller, thinner, straighter, not as curvy as we are to their sizing is based on their body shapes and we are very lucky in that most of the high street in the uk is british owned, if you like, so

the sizing has evolved from the british curvy figure and so scandinavians come in, that had a phenomenal growth, this company, they come into britain and they've not quite got that aligned so they need to look at their size specs and say, in the uk, our size this is there a size 12 and realign the labelling. it's not going to be feasible and it would be good, to say that that particular country, because they sell all over the world, we will resize garments for that country only make much curvier bigger sizes. they won't do that. they will look at how their size specs match up to ours. it's a pickle, isn't it? it can't be the only store that confounds people. no, and to be honest, i had a really, really positive response from lots of friends and friends of friends he said, i've had the same experience. all different women,

they were all saying we had this issue. what bothered me more about it was downstairs in the same shop, you could buy a t—shirt that said "sisterhood" emblazoned across the chest. i want to see these logos and emblems in the shops but they need to practise what they preach and if women go in and find a pair ofjeans and feel rubbish at the end of it because they can't get it passed their size, its a bit hypocritical to be selling emblems of female empowerment. your case is very well made, and it has had a result, so i suppose that is a good thing, in a way. carol is here, particularly, we are looking at everything, but a lot of people are interested in pollen levels today, particularly. that's right, good morning all. the pollen

levels, if you are interested, it is also grass pollen we are looking at, are very also grass pollen we are looking at, are very high across england, wales and northern ireland. they are low across northern england and most of scotland, apart from strathclyde, where they are moderate. what we have this morning is a lot of cloud around. most of that will thin and break and we will see some more sunshine developing. as ever, not everywhere. high pressure still in charge of our weather, so things are changing that much. we also have a weather front coming up from the near continent which will bring showers from the channel islands, and tonight and tomorrow we will see them getting into southern counties. this is the cloud cover we have on our shores. some of it is thick enough to be producing some drizzle here and there and as we go through the course of the morning it will then break. scotland will have a mostly dry day, the same for northern ireland, with the risk of showers in the north—west. the cloud drifting into cumbria and lancashire through the day, but as we come

south into wales, we have more in the way of sunshine. currently some drizzle affecting parts of south—west england and some of that cloud getting down to north norfolk. later in the day you will find it sta rts later in the day you will find it starts to break up. much later, we will see some early evening in late afternoon sunshine across cumbria and northumberland. it will always feel cooler on the north sea coast under the low cloud, and we also have an onshore breeze. temperatures could get up to 2425, for example, in london. through the evening and overnight we import more cloud from the north sea in addition to what we already have and our weather front sta rts already have and our weather front starts to scoot up from the near continent, introducing showers yet again to the channel islands and southern england. some of those could be heavy and thundery around the south—east and the london area. what they are showers, not all of us will necessarily see one. patchy mist and fog forming across scotland. that will lift quite readily tomorrow. how showers and cloud advance further north across

southern england and south wales. cool where we have a lingering cloud across north—east england but still across north—east england but still a lot of dry weather. you could catch a shower in northern ireland, but that will be about it, and temperatures up to about 21. by friday we are looking at quite a cloudy picture. some showers across parts of the midlands, southern england, the south—west and also wales. the further north and west you are, the better chance you have of seeing some sunshine tom and temperatures very similar to what we are looking at today. we are juxtaposing old with new, we arejuxtaposing old with new, and change. in 1968, a group of women machinists working at ford's dagenham plant walked out of work to fight for fairer pay. their actions made history with the creation of the equal pay act. steph is at the factory for us this morning. given it is the anniversary of two historic things for women we thought we would bring this replica of one of the caravans used by the

suffrages, to juxtapose the old and the new. we are in the ford plant at dagenham. 0ne the new. we are in the ford plant at dagenham. one in four engines used globally will be made here, the business employs 2000 people and it looked very different 50 years ago. a lot less automation, and the reason, one of the big things it is famous for, is 50 years ago the female machinists went out on strike because they were campaigning to get equal recognition of skilled workers as the men who worked in the factories. we are going to be talking to some of the women who work in our in a moment, but given it is also 100 years since women had the vote, i wanted to look at whether things have changed or not for women in the workplace. in 1913, 50,000 people gathered in hyde park to demand votes for women. the rally marked the end of a peaceful mass march known

as the great pilgrimage. women from all over britain travelled on foot, on horseback, and if they were lucky, on caravans like this one. now, this is a replica of the caravan used by the suffragist marjory lees to make that pilgrimage right up from 0ldham, in the north—west, to here, hyde park in london. and it wasn't just votes that the thousands of women were campaigning for here. this document was published around 1907 by the wspu, the organisation founded by emily pankhurst. now, as you can see, it says all the more important and lucrative positions are barred to women. if you wanted a lucrative position you could come here, the city of london. but, out of the 350 biggest companies in britain, only 13 have female ce05. so how much have things really changed ? i don't think women are still barred

from achieving lucrative positions, but i do think that the unconscious bias remains. lucrative positions in positions of power are still barred to women, and from my own personal experience, if you're also a woman of colour and come from less privileged class background, things are ten times harder. women have to make a lot of sacrifices, as well, and there are a lot of difficulties that some women will experience. there's still room for improvement. it is getting better, though. getting better. dame helena morrissey has been a ceo herself. we've come such a long way, and we have to celebrate the progress. but it is unfinished business, when i still think it's still exciting to see women succeed. i think businesses need to look at all aspects of what they do, notjust having a special programme for women. women like helena are not banned from the boardroom any more.

but, more than 100 years after the pilgrims marched to hyde park, women here and around the world are still fighting for equality in the workplace. i have brought you a bit further into the factory now, and it is so fascinating when you see how things are made, some of the engines used on ford cars, but also to meet some of the women who work here. i am going to start with you, you are an apprentice here. tell us about what you do here and how long you have been here. i am in my last year of a four year electrical and mechanical maintenance apprenticeship. i am in my final year. you have worked here forfour my final year. you have worked here for four years, my final year. you have worked here forfour years, so my final year. you have worked here for four years, so what has that been like a woman? you are still in an industry with the lot of blokes. to be honest, you don't really notice. you get so much encouragement and support, no emphasis is because you are a woman. it is who you are as a person. and

what do you do here?” it is who you are as a person. and what do you do here? i am one of the engineering managers, on ajob share. so you two job share, which must mean your family things are a lot easier. tell us a little bit about how it works. one of us works half the week, the other works the other half of the week, and we manage our business between us. other half of the week, and we manage our business between usm it easy to be able to pass on to work each time? i am a control freak. are you able to do it quite well? we were really conscious when well? we were really conscious when we we re well? we were really conscious when we were given this job share that we needed to make it work, and we do things that other managers don't do to communicate with each other, so we have lots of notes, we make sure that we leave priorities for each other when we leave work and pass on to the next person. so there are extra things we have done, and we are very conscious extra things we have done, and we are very conscious of other people needing it to work. so it has been a bit of a challenge, but obviously it fits our worklife balance, and so far we think we are doing 0k.

fits our worklife balance, and so far we think we are doing ok. and how long have you beenjob far we think we are doing ok. and how long have you been job sharing for? it is about six months we have beenin for? it is about six months we have been in this formally, and have worked together for a lot longer than that beforehand. and are you unusual as female managers here, would you say? we do have some other female managers here. a couple have been and gone. do you feel it makes a difference being a woman? given what happened 50 years ago, do you feel it makes a difference? mel doesn't think it does.” feel it makes a difference? mel doesn't think it does. i have to say, i agree with mel. although i was one of two engineers when i joined, 20 years ago, i was conscious of being unusual, but not ina bad conscious of being unusual, but not in a bad way. so yes, it has been 0k. in a bad way. so yes, it has been ok. i will leave you to it. thank you very much for having a chat with me. we also have a senior diversity campaignerand me. we also have a senior diversity campaigner and leader, in many senses. why is diversity is so important in business, do you think?

it is so important to tap into the full breadth of talent. we need to have diversity of thought, and i believe that is the only way you can drive innovation and creativity and have true business success. as a senior lawyer, you are someone who has obviously climbed to the top. has that been easy for you? there have been a few challenges along the way. being a black woman also presents its own unique set of challenges. and what i push forward in my diversity work is to make sure that companies are having those honest conversations about what the issues are, and importantly following up with positive action of some sort. i do feel like we have been talking about diversity in business for such a long time. why isn't it happening faster? that is a very good question. i think it takes a lot of time to see the talent coming through. it takes time for all these initiatives to really, really show themselves, have a real impact. so a good dose of patience

is required, really. thank you for yourtime, as is required, really. thank you for your time, as well. i will leave you with a bit more of the machinery. it is always fascinating when you come to these plans. another engine i will leave you with. have a look at that. something you would find if you drove a ford ka. it has been fascinating to be there today. nice to see everybody hard at work as well. we will be back with you a little bit later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel london's gangs have ditched postcode rivalries in favour of lucrative organised drug dealing. researchers from south bank university also found that gang leaders are using a range of tactics to fly under the radar. they spoke to current and former gang members. it actually is making it much harder for not only the police, but for other agencies that are working with gangs, because it is very much about being off—grid, being below the radar,

and hiding activities there. so ten years ago, gang members would be explicit about saying they were part of a gang. that's very rare these days. a university lecturer who was beaten up by burglars is going to the high court to try to stop the closure of half of london's police stations. paul kohler believes the only reason he survived the attack is because officers arrived at his house in wimbledon, from the nearest station, within eight minutes of a 999 call. back in november, sadiq khan announced plans to close 37 of 73 stations to save money. stansted has been been ranked the second—worst airport in the world, according to a study. flight compensation company airhelp found the terminal was only ahead of kuwait international. the research was based on performance and quality of service. but stansted airport says it is investing significant sums

of money, and that this survey is a self—serving exercise based on very little evidence. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the 0verground, there are severe delays between edmonton green and enfield town, and liverpool street and cheshunt, due to a track fault, that problem also causing minor delays on tfl rail between liverpool street and shenfield. the track fault at liverpool street is also causing delays on greater anglia and stansted express services. 0n the roads, one lane is closed on a104 woodford new road southbound, that is just after waterworks corner, due to an accident. in norbury, norbury crescent is closed in both directions between st helen's road and manor farm road, due to an accident. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it's a much brighter start this morning. there may be a little bit of residual cloud around at first, but that will burn back quite quickly, leading to a day of sunshine. and the temperatures are going to feel a little bit warmer than they did yesterday. so the cloud we have right at the start of the day will disappear quickly. blue sky throughout,

we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, so out along the essex coast, perhaps a little bit chillier. but elsewhere, inland, we're looking at a maximum somewhere between 21 and 24 celsius in the sunshine. now, overnight tonight it'll start off clear, but gradually the cloud will increase. coming up from the south, the risk of some quite sharp showers. you may hear a rumble of thunder through the early hours of tomorrow morning. it's not going to be quite as chilly tonight, though, as it was last night — the minimum between 10—12 celsius. now, that shower risk is going to continue through thursday. again, one or two quite sharp ones locally. it's going to feel progressively more humid as we head towards the end of the week. some dry weather, some sunny spells in the forecast, but we're never very far away from a shower. i'm back in half an hour. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. a second eruption at the fuego volcano in guatemala, which has already claimed at least 75 lives. sirens.

residents and rescue workers flee from new clouds of ash and molten rock. nearly 200 people are still missing after sunday's explosion. good morning, it's wednesday 6th june. also this morning... an investigation is launched into tsb after nearly 2 million people lost access to their accounts following it changes in april. the american designer kate spade is found dead at the age of 55. trubutes frrom the world of fashion and show business. in sport, andy murray says he hopes to be back for wimbledon but has had to delay his return to action. he's been recovering from surgery on a hip injury. good morning from the ford plant in dagenham. it was here 50 years ago

that the female machinists went on strike to campaign to have equal recognition as the men who worked here. 50 years on, i'm looking at how things have changed. it's a sunny day outside but hayfever sufferers can expect some of the worst conditions for years — we'll find out why, and how to treat the symtoms. and carol has the weather. along with some of those warnings. pollen levels are very high or higher today across most of england, wales and northern ireland. low across northern england and scotland, but moderate around strathclyde. there is also a lot of cloud that will give way to a lot of sunshine today, apart from across the north midlands, lincolnshire and parts of northern england. all the details in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. authorities in guatemala say that nearly 200 people are missing following the eruption of the fuego volcano on sunday, which spewed lava and burning debris on villages nearby. a second eruption yesterday

prompted further evacuations and hampered rescue efforts. the number of confirmed deaths has now reached 75. 0ur correspondent will grant has been to one of the worst hit villages. it is a scene they know all too well in this part of guatemala. fuego spewing smoke and ash, desperate families running for their lives. just days after the massive volcanic eruption destroyed entire villages, the volcano began to smoke again and the emergency services decided to evacuate. following the huge pyroclastic lava flows, the ground beneath them was still dangerously hot and too precarious to keep searching for survivors. in the end, they ordered everyone but essential personnel off the mountain. the tiny community of el rodeo, high on the mountain slope, will never be the same. some lost their homes, others their entire families. buried beneath the ash are lives and livelihoods.

few who return to this village will find they have been spared the grief. boris rodriguez lost his wife and herfamily and now has nowhere to turn. translation: no-one told us anything, no—one came by to say to evacuate. nothing. people got out however they could. those who could get out, did, and those who couldn't, well, god rest them. the emergency services are working around the clock — some literally until they drop — but they are struggling to cope. the disaster has left a trail of destruction that will take months to overcome in what is already one of the poorest countries in the americas. the search for survivors continues in el rodeo, but with each passing hour, the likelihood of success is growing slimmer and for those families still waiting for news further down the mountainside,

the prospects are looking grim. will grant, bbc news, el rodeo, guatemala. meanwhile in hawaii officials say hundreds more homes have been destroyed overnight by lava from the kilauea volcano. a growing river of molten rock flowing from the foot of the volcano is believed to have demolished nearly 200 homes and filled in a small bay at the eastern tip of hawaii's big island. although the erruption has only been active for 34 days, the destruction is now said to be on par with the damage caused during the last 35 years of volcanic activity. a computer failure that locked 1.9 million tsb customers out of their online banking services is being investigated by the financial regulator. the financial conduct authority has also criticised the bank's chief executive, accusing him of giving too optimistic a view of services after a major systems overhaul left customers struggling to carry out transactions or access their accounts.

here's our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. it's more than six weeks since tsb customers found they couldn't get into their accounts. now the service is working better, but it's still unstable and 40% of the time people can't get help on the phone. the pressure is piling up on the chief executive, paul pester, who took the ill—fated decision in april to move millions of customers' accounts to a new system and is directly criticised now by the financial regulator. in a letter to the treasury select committee, the fca says at the height of the crisis, paul pester gave mp5 an optimistic view of services, which was too positive. and to customers, the bank was not open and transparent, claiming the vast majority could use their online accounts, when only half could. there's particular concern about an increase in customers impacted by fraud. not all of them receiving refunds from tsb as quickly as they're supposed to. today, tsb‘s directors will face intense questioning

from mp5 on the failures. the bank says it's completely focused on restoring operations to the level customers expect and making sure they're not left out of pocket. simon gompertz, bbc news. the conservative party has been accused of ignoring islamophobia by the chair of its ownn muslim forum. in an interview with the independent, mohammed amin said the party is scared to "rock the boat" with a racism investigation at a time when they do not have a commons majority. the party said it had acted quickly when presented with evidence of inappropriate behaviour. theresa may is to hold talks in downing street today with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has been visiting leaders across europe to discuss how to limit iran's nuclear capabilities. he supported president's trump's decision to pull out of an international accord last month, a move which was condemned by britain, france and germany. three leading health think tanks have written to the prime minister

calling for funding increases of 4% a year above inflation for the nhs. the chief executives of the king's fund, the health foundation and nuffield trust, argue that anything less will mean a drop in patient care and a growing backlog of critical repairs to hospitals. a new government plan for nhs funding in england is expected within weeks. tributes have been pouring in for the american designer kate spade, who has been found dead at her home in new york. the 55—year—old was best known for designing handbags and a range of accessories. the kate spade brand became a household name with stores around the world. jon donnison reports. kate spade splashed onto the fashion scene in the 19905 with her bright and colourful designs. 0utside her apartment, where her body was found, fans and the media gathered. police believe the 55—year—old took her own life. it appears at this point in time to be a tragic case of apparent suicide, but it is early

in the investigation. there was a suicide note left at the scene. for many of her customers, the news came as a huge shock. kate spade was just somebody i always looked up to. keep life light and happy and fun, and when this kind of thing happens to someone like that, you just... you never know who's going through what. everywhere you go in paris, in madrid, she's famous, she's famous. it's so sad. she is only 55, and this isjust terrible. many celebrity fans paid tribute on social media. chelsea clinton said she got her first kate spade bag when she was in college. the us actress lena dunham said thank you, from one of the millions you made feel beautiful. in a statement, kate spade's family asked for privacy, saying they were devastated and would miss her terribly. jon donnison, bbc news. northern rail employees are to walk out on strike

in a continuing row of the role of guards on trains. the operator, which runs local services across the north of england, is currently experiencing major delays and cancellations to trains, after the introduction of a new timetable. members of the rmt union will stop work for 24 hours on june the 19th, 21st and 23rd. take a look at this for a good example of highway etiquette. it's a video that's gone viral on social media — a little girl gives a lorry driver the thumbs up, after he overtakes her while out on a bike ride in northamptonshire. her father posted the video, hoping to encourage other drivers to follow the example and leave plenty of room when going around cyclists. it has now been shared tens of thousands of times. she must be on one of those mini tandems, those bikes that have a

bike attached. how often do we show road rage type clashes and incidents? that's the other end of the scale. it's lovely. yesterday, we told you about a florida woman who's life was saved using a pioneering cancer treatment. judy perkins was given just months to live after being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, but she is now tumour free. immunotherapy, which uses a patient‘s immune system to fight the disease, is still an experimental treatment. but some experts believe it could transform the treatment of all cancers in the future. bbc 5 live presenter rachael bland is here. she's recently started immunotherapy, after being told her breast cancer was incurable. she'sjoined by dr kim linton, an oncologist at the christie cancer centre. good morning to you both and thank you forjoining us. it's lovely to see you again. tell us a little bit about why, for example, you wanted to have this kind of therapy?” about why, for example, you wanted to have this kind of therapy? i had a lot of treatment for my current

breast cancer. i had four lots of surgery, two lots of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and all the conventional treatments failed to get a lid on it. we were getting to the point where my only other option was another round of chemotherapy, and we know it doesn't work well on my cancer and probably wouldn't work well again. or there was the option to go across to the clinical trials tea m to go across to the clinical trials team at christie and try some of these new treatments, including immunothera py. so these new treatments, including immunotherapy. so i took that option because the doctors told me at the time it was probably my best hope for getting more time, to try a new kind of drug. so i went over to the clinical trials team, and i ended up ona clinical trials team, and i ended up on a trial that includes immunothera py. on a trial that includes immunotherapy. where are you in that process ? immunotherapy. where are you in that process? i am about three weeks in. i had my second infusion. i have infusion of the immunotherapy every two weeks, three weeks in now, i've had two of them. i take daily

ta blets had two of them. i take daily tablets as well. that's the trial, the immunothera py tablets as well. that's the trial, the immunotherapy and a tablet to try to make the immunotherapy work better in my type of cancer. what is immunotherapy doing? immunotherapy refers to a whole range of different treatments that are designed to recognise, attack and kill cancer cells. it can be simple treatments like antibodies that combine to a protein on the cell and year market for killing. 0r protein on the cell and year market for killing. or the protein on the cell and year market for killing. 0rthe infusion protein on the cell and year market for killing. or the infusion of a small protein that causes the immune syste m small protein that causes the immune system to expand, or in rachel's case, there is a checkpoint limit, a drug that takes the brakes of the immune system. so cancer has a clever way of putting the brakes on the immune system to escape recognition. the strokes, the checkpoint inhibitors, reverse that blockade, so the immune system is reactivated and can attack cancer cells again. with your expertise, talk to us aboutjudy perkins, this australian lady, at what appears to

have happened there. sorry, this american lady. tell us what you make of what has happened. my understanding is she had to make different types of immunotherapy. she had a checkpoint inhibitor and also tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, also known as tils. so they sift out the t cells that sift out the cancer, and work out which most adept at killing the cancer, expand it in the lab and give it back to the patient. they are provided with an army of cells to attack the cancer cells, and at the same time, the other drug that takes the brakes of the immune system. that story is not an uncommon one, where you have somebody who has failed in multiple different wines of treatment, coming to the end of the line, as it were, with chemotherapy not working, and you use a different approach. that's the real excitement around immunotherapy, the promise it

potentially has in changing the game for a cancer treatment. some people have concerns about immunotherapy, but how would you address those? it is the area of treatment everyone is excited about. it does not work for everyone at the moment but scientists and doctors are working to find ways to make it work well in everybody and that is what my trial is about and all the trials going on. i have not had many side effects so on. i have not had many side effects so far. doctors tell me they are having to get used to managing new side effects because they are different from chemotherapy. thousands have had chemotherapy, fewer have had immunotherapy. it is different side effects that take longer to come out. it takes people like rachel to go through this for you to discover the science that

will save lives. absolutely. people taking part in clinical trials are helping themselves but also the whole population of cancer patients. we would not be where we are today we re we would not be where we are today were it not for people like rachel taking place in these trials. we have to work together to tackle cancer to find therapies. one of the great things about it, even if it does not work for me, the odds are not brilliant for me, but at least i will leave data behind that is useful to scientists in the future and hopefully help somebody else in the same position. i assume the thought process in terms of trying it, that is human nature, some things have not worked and you start to think harder and looking out what possibilities there might be. for me

immunotherapy possibilities there might be. for me immunothera py has provided possibilities there might be. for me immunotherapy has provided hope in a situation where hope was fading. i am not saying there are guarantees it will work, even the statistics suggest it is less likely to work thanit suggest it is less likely to work than it is to work, but it represents hope for me that there might bea represents hope for me that there might be a treatment available that will work and have some effect on the cancer. you need hope to get you through and at the moment i still have hope. how is your little boy? he's great. very energetic and very tiring. wonderful. he gets us through, as well. we have to get up in the morning and carry on for him. so many people will face what rachel is going through. the importance with this is to get the research done. absolutely. people interested in immunotherapy can look at the cancer research uk website. it

describes the different types and they can search for trials in the uk releva nt they can search for trials in the uk relevant to their disease type. the key message for me, immunotherapy does not work for everybody and the biggest challenge is finding out which patients will respond and that is the focus of research, to find out who will respond and how we can make the treatment as safe as possible. rachel, you are doing this very publicly. going through a very difficult time very publicly. it is a conversation you are having with people. i started blogging. ifound blogging. i found that talking about it and discussing it with other people and meeting people in the same position, like lauren, who does the podcast. we met you when we

launched it. meeting people like that has helped me. i can only imagine as well that i am sure you are having an amazing response from people, people responding to your situation. we get messages every day from people saying thank you for sharing, i was in the same situation, i felt lost in the chemotherapy ward and i read what you wrote and listen to the podcast andi you wrote and listen to the podcast and i felt i you wrote and listen to the podcast and ifelt i had you wrote and listen to the podcast and i felt i had a friend who was going through the same thing. it is only when you go through cancer treatment, you need to have gone through it to understand what others are going through. to get that feedback is great. it makes it worthwhile. it is brave, it is powerful and it has affected people. some of the episodes will make you cry. you can find episodes of rachael's podcast you, me and the big c on the 5live

website or wherever you get your podcasts. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. if you have analogy to grass pollen this will not be music to your ears. today levels are very high or high across much of england, north wales, and northern ireland. the rest of the country, moderate to low. a cloudy start this morning with drizzle. a lot of it will give way to sunshine but not everywhere. north midlands, northern england and lincolnshire are prone to hanging onto the cloud. we have high pressure dominating. the weather front is still across the north of france, producing showers on and off across the channel islands. you can

see how much cloud there is and where we have the sunshine already. try and find across much of scotland after a cold start with frost in parts of the highlands. northern ireland will see sunshine but the risk of a shower in the north—west. north—west england starting with sunshine but you can see cloud across the pennines down to norfolk. and more in the south—west is producing drizzle. it will break up in the south—west and later start to break up in cumbria and northumberland. we will hang on to cloud across eastern areas and with the breeze it will hold the temperature down. where we had cloud yesterday in southern england and wales, we will have sunshine today and asa wales, we will have sunshine today and as a result it will feel warmer. scotla nd and as a result it will feel warmer. scotland seeing sunshine, but temperatures in the mid teens, possibly high teens. 0vernight we

import more cloud. the weather front advances northwards, with showers across the channel islands and southern counties of england, which could be heavy around the london area in the south—east. dry weather across scotland. fog will give way to sunshine early in the morning. showers pushing north. not everyone will see won—macro. north of that, dry weather and sunshine. northern ireland, the odd shower in the north—west. we will have cloud in north—east england but not as much as today. friday will be cloudy generally. brighterskies as today. friday will be cloudy generally. brighter skies across central and western scotland and northern ireland and again we will have showers in the south—west of england and maybe in the midlands and southern wales. temperatures not dissimilar to what we are looking at

on thursday. thank you. ever wondered where all that data we use online — things like photos or music — is stored? the answer is computers in vast warehouses, which in turn use a lot of energy to run. now, researchers think they've found a more sustainable way of storing our data — and it involves sinking it off the coast of 0rkney. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones has been to see how it works. ever uploaded a photo, updated your facebook status, or maybe streamed some music? if so, you've probably used a data centre, where vast amounts of our personal information are now stored. but what if you could put all of that underwater? up in 0rkney, the tech giant microsoft is trying to do just that. this white cylinder is packed with computers. it was assembled in france, and then brought here to be sunk. we're on our way across scapa flow to the deployment site,

but i have one nagging question. why sink a data centre? it's easier to cool data centres in water than on land. that means we use a lot less power to cool the data centre than we otherwise would. it is kind of a crazy experiment, but that's why we do research — to try these things and sort of push us to new places. and, if this is successful, maybe we'll have the ability to deploy data centres anywhere in the world very rapidly, perhaps as little as 90 days. this is the exact point where the data centre is going to be sunk and on the ocean floor is a cable bringing power to it, and then taking its data ashore and connecting it to the wider internet. a day on, with conditions in the sometimes rough stretch of sea very calm, the painstaking operation to put the data centre on the ocean floor is under way. 0rkney was chosen partly because it is a centre for pioneering renewable energy research, generating electricity from wind and wave power. 0rkney‘s produced over 120% of its electricity needs

from renewables every year since 2012. so this is a place that's basically running on renewables, and so bringing a project like this to 0rkney makes sense, because it'll be basically being powered by renewables. the data centre is heading ever so slowly to the bottom of the ocean. at the control room on shore, they are getting ready to power it up. now, microsoft will monitor it for up to five years. this could prove to be the future of data storage, or maybe just a tourist attraction for the fish. an extraordinary but brilliant idea. we are staying on the technology theme. along with change and how the world is changing. this is the ford car factory. i am world is changing. this is the ford carfactory. i am laughing because we are about to go to steph and i can see her running in the factory.

i started running and then thought, you are not allowed to run. this is the dagenham plant and you can see them making engines, they make 1.5 million every year. the reason this place is interesting is because it is 50 years since women here, the female machinists, went on strike to get equal recognition when it came to theirjobs compared to jobs men we re to theirjobs compared to jobs men were doing here. a significant part the women who went on strike played in the equal pay act that came after that. it is also a huge manufacturer across the world exporting to lots of companies and have 2000 working here. i will find out how life is changed for them over the past 50 yea rs. changed for them over the past 50 years. it is also 100 years since some women got the vote and because of that, look who we have with us.

won—macro of the replica caravans used by the suffragettes to travel to that great pilgrimage. this is a replica of marjorie lees' caravan and she travelled to london for the pilgrimage where they campaign not just for votes for women but equality for women in the workplace. we have a lady here, i am excited about this, sheila, she is 81 and she went on strike at this factory. her stories are awesome and i will tell you about them later. it is amazing, the juxtaposition of the engines and caravan. more from me later, first the news where you are. for most of us, we will see some decent spells of sunshine today.

more sunshine than has been the case in recent days. but it has certainly been a chilly start to the day. temperatures in the highlands have got even down to zero. so a touch of frost here. more typically in the countryside, around 6 or 7 degrees, the early morning temperatures. the satellite picture shows sunny skies across western parts of the uk, but we do have an area of low pressure in the north sea that is introducing a lot of cloud across eastern scotland, and eastern areas of england. that cloud will slowly fizzle back towards eastern england between around northumberland and lincolnshire, where it is likely to stay cloudy well into the afternoon and probably all day in a number of places. that will keep the temperatures around 17 degrees here. although there will be a lot of sunshine elsewhere, we are looking at a few showers. those showers early this morning across south—west england and later this afternoon, western scotland, western counties of northern ireland,

and for wednesday evening tonight, we will probably see some showers pushing into the southern counties of england. showers on and off during the day in the channel islands. 0vernight, there could be a few bits and pieces of rain coming in to the south of england. but otherwise, cloud will re—form, moving in from the north sea and affecting the east of scotland, central and eastern parts of england, with the clearest skies across the north—west of the uk. the weather chart for tomorrow, an area of low pressure in france that will drift northwards, bringing with it showers. those showers initially across southern counties of england, that will then begin to spread perhaps into the south midlands and perhaps into parts of wales as we go into the afternoon. 0therwise otherwise a lot of dry weather. the cloud we start off with across eastern scotland, eastern england, will tend to thin and break, ithink, as we go through thursday. so the prospects of seeing some sunshine come out across the eastern coastal areas of england. the best of the sunshine across the north and west of the uk once again with temperatures into the low 205. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. more trade backlash against america, as mexico imposes nearly $3 billion

worth of tariffs on us products. live from london, that's our top story on wednesday the 6th ofjune. the mexican government has followed through on a threat to retaliate against president trump's trade policies, slapping import taxes on products such as cheese, pork and bourbon. also in the programme, as italy's new government outlines its revolutionary policies, should europe be scared of the country's new populist agenda?
