culture. i i have come back to find out what the legacy of it has been. in sport, andy murray makes his long awaited return, but says he could still miss wimbledon. he made his return after eleven months out, losing to australian nick kyrgious at queen's. and we'll hear the incredible story of a man whose life was saved by a drone. andy carol is out pricking drew brees. —— and carols. —— strawbridge. how has a weather affected the cherie is this year? —— strawberry. some heavy rain overnight into northern ireland, as it moves north it will weaken and we will hold on to sunshine when it brea ks will hold on to sunshine when it breaks in the south. i will have more in 15 minute. good morning. first, our main story. an inquiry into hundreds of deaths

at gosport war memorial hospital will be published this morning. a previous investigation found that patients were almost routinely given drugs including morphine and diamorphine, between 1988 and 2000 — and that this may have shortened life in some cases, but no criminal charges were ever brought. 0ur health correspondent, catherine burns, reports. robert wilson, sheila gregory, geoffrey peckham, else the divine, after cunning ham, gladys richards. some went into gosport war memorial hospital to recover after falls, others had bed sores or broken bones. none came out alive. gillian mackenzie has been fighting for justice for his —— her mother gladys to 20 years of. she said the 91—year—old was doing well when sent to gosport to recover from a hip operation. 0n the day week —— on the day she was admitted her medical notes said nurses confirmed her

death. after another fall, gladys richards was put on diamorphine, it is used to relieve severe pain, for example is used to relieve severe pain, for exa m ple after is used to relieve severe pain, for example after a car crashed. she died four days later, her daughter went to the police. when i had contacted the police and said i want an appointment with somebody with an allegation of unlawful killing, i had been told my dear, you are upset. within four years, police we re upset. within four years, police were investigating 92 deaths. no proceedings were brought. there have also been inquest into 11 of those deaths and a general medical council heating —— hearing into one doctor. jane was a gp who worked part—time at the hospital, she signed 833 death certificates over 12 years and was found guilty of serious national misconduct. she wasn't struck off, but chose to retire. this latest investigation has taken four years

and cost £30 million, gillian mackenzie and other families say they hope it will be highly critical and take them a step closer to criminal charges bringing brought. and we'll be speaking to the granddaughter of a woman who died at gosport war memorial hospitaljust after eight this morning. the prime minister is — once again — facing possible defeat in the house of commons today over key brexit legislation. mps are due to vote on an amendment to the eu withdrawal bill which would give parliament more of a say if no deal is agreed with brussels. 0ur political correspondent ben wright is at westminster for us. it seems like we have been here before, what's going on? is this likely to be tense? we certainly have been talking about crunch votes around this issue now four months. as this question of parliament's role four months. as this question of pa rliament‘s role in four months. as this question of parliament's role in brexit has bounced between the house of lords and the commons, but today we think

could be decisive. basically what mps are having to decide is what role they should have at the end of the brexit negotiations. if they reject the final deal that theresa may has negotiated with brussels, or if the uk fails to come to an agreement at all. they are discussing what their powers should be. the government says that at that point they will come back to mps, read out a statement about what they plan to do next, but any more, the government says, would tie their hands during the negotiations. but labour and crucially about a dozen tory mps think that is not good enough, that mps need a proper say to advise the government in the scenario that there is no deal reached with the eu. is about a very important issue that could have a big bearing on the way brexit turns out quickly —— the key question today will be how many tory mps rebel against their own government and vote with labour. if not do, the

government could be given it. president trump has been heckled by democrats over the policy of separating children from their parents if they enter the united states illegally from mexico. mr trump was holding a meeting in the us congress to address the issue amid growing public anger, as our north america correspondent david willis reports. amid growing concern from members of his own party, the president came to capitol hill to talk about the crisis on the southern border. the immigration has been a really bad, bad immigration has been a really bad, ba d syste m. immigration has been a really bad, bad system. probably the worst anywhere in the world. having met with republicans, he was heckled by democrat. you are separating their children! mr president, don't you have kids? still, no word of an

imminent solution. these are laws that have been broken for many yea rs, that have been broken for many years, decades. we had a great meeting. pressure to reform america's immigration system is being driven by images such as these. children kept in cages after being separated from their parents. under a new zero tolerance policy, anyone caught crossing the border illegally is now being arrested. 2000 sons and daughters have been separated by their parents in little over a month. mr trump separated by their parents in little overa month. mrtrump the separated by their parents in little over a month. mr trump the solution lies with congress. but as protest sprout up around the country and in the face of growing international condemnation, one conservative talk—show host has likened the situation to a crisis which threatened to derail a previous republican administration, warning that this could the trump's katrina. david willis, bbc news, los angeles.

the united states has pulled out of the un human rights council, accusing the organisation of being hypocritical and biased against israel. the us envoy to the united nations, nikki haley, said the council was a "cesspool of political bias", whose members targeted countries with positive human rights records to distract from their own abuses. she said calls for reform in the council had been ignored. this step is not a retreat from human rights commitments. 0n the contrary, we take this step because oui’ contrary, we take this step because our commitment is not allow us to remaina part our commitment is not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self—serving organisation that makes a mockery of human rights. the head of gchq has said the surveillance agency has played a critical role in disrupting terrorist plots in at least four other european countries in the last year. however, jeremy fleming said it was important the uk and the eu continued to co—operate on security issues after brexit. the government is seeking a bespoke deal on security co—operation. five people have been injured after a small explosion

at a london tube station, thought to have been caused by an electrical fault. officers were called to reports of people running at southgate station just after 7 o'clock yesterday evening. a man at the scene described people being trampled. two people were taken to hospital and three others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. health officials have told hospitals across england to introduce a new system to identify the most severely ill patients. the national early warning score flags up if a patient is acutely unwell, particularly those who have sepsis. more than 40,000 people die of blood poisoning in the uk each year. our health correspondent matthew hill reports. paul churchill is now back at his barbers are working. but two years ago, it he nearly died from sepsis. i felt cold, although ago, it he nearly died from sepsis.

ifelt cold, although my ago, it he nearly died from sepsis. i felt cold, although my 0ddy was really hot. load blood pressure, heart was really going. his gp had just been trained in using a system called news. that is national early warning score, it flags up if a patient is at risk of developing sepsis. the gp examined him, and severally and found a scorer of seven, which we now know is really high. that was incredibly useful for the ambulance crew when they pick paul up. by the time he arrived at amd in bristol, his school had gone up amd in bristol, his school had gone up to nine. because the gp and the ambulance service had measured the score and it had been less, we could see that he was rapidly deteriorating and we needed to treat him. they can show that every health professional in and out of hospital using the system, the death rate has fallen to the lowest in the uk. so it has gone from about 7% mortality

to 5% and is estimated to have saved around 3000 wives. nhs england has been so impressed with the results are now ordered all hospitals to adopt the system across england. matthew hill, bbc news. a bakewell tart which was launched to the edges of space has gone missing. no! the one from derbyshire? yes. pupils at a school in derbyshire sent the pudding flying on monday to raise money for charity. tracking devices showed it had reached an altitude of 16,000 metres but the devices have stopped working since. the school still hopes to find it. i suppose somebody has eaten it, somebody up there. it is a ruse. it never made it therein the first place. —— there in. john is here with the sport. he's back, but will we

see him at wimbledon? didn't end with a win. 2.5 hours on court, which is pretty good going. murray says he'll wake up this morning and see how his body's feeling before commiting to any further tournaments, having lost to nick kyrigos in the opening round of queen's yesterday. british number one johanna konta was another first round victim, beaten by petra kvitova at the birmingham classic in straight sets. she'll continue her wimbledon prep at her home tournament in eastbourne next week. records tumble and sixes rain down on trent bridge as england thrashed australia to win the one day series with two games to spare. england racked up a world record 481 runs in their 50 overs. russia are on the verge of reaching the last 16 at the world cup following their 3—1 win over egypt, a match mo salah started and scored in, but couldn't stop them losing to the hosts.

disappointment, after everything he has done in the premier league, he hasn't quite been able to showcase his talents at the world cup yet. taking a return at least. —— making. a lot of injuries, all of penalties. carol is out strawberry picking for us carol is out strawberry picking for us this morning. lovely strawberry. look at that. i am in east sussex and you can pick your own if you wa nt and you can pick your own if you want to. the season started with strawberry picking earlier this month. last year, a staggering 137,000 tons of strawberries were sold in the uk. here, we have been talking to tom already this morning

and he was saying that it has been a good year thus far forced robberies, but not so for other foods like plums and raspberries. i will be talking to him in half an hour as to why that is and how the weather has such an impact on some of the other fruit. this morning as you can see around me, it is quite a damp start to the day. lots of low cloud. murky conditions and we have a lot of this over southern parts of england. in the north we have had heavy rain overnight and that is going to be sinking south. the forecast for today for many of us is actually going to be a dry one. there will be a little bit of clout at times, but some of us will see warm sunshine with highs in the south getting up to 26, possibly separate the seven. -- 47. a lot to 26, possibly separate the seven. —— 47. a lot of rain at the moment across scotland across northern ireland and england. that will continue to sink southwards and as it does, it will tend to weaken and it does, it will tend to weaken and it will be at the end of clout with

light rain on it. for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, it will brighten up with sunshine but some showers in the forecast in the north and the west, some of those merging, heavy and thundery with hey all. as the cloud bills, the south of england hanging onto the brightest conditions and thatis onto the brightest conditions and that is where we will see the high temperatures. as we had on through the evening and overnight, a front continues its descent, pushing away eventually from the south—east, leaving clear skies behind. afresh night and leaving clear skies behind. afresh nightand a leaving clear skies behind. afresh night and a muggy night. meanwhile, we will also have some showers moving from the west to the east across scotland and some of those could be heavy. here, it certainly will be more fresh. we start tomorrow on a dry note. for many again, there will be quite a bit of sunshine around under those clear skies with cloud bubbling up through the day. it will be noticeably breezy and blustery. a wee bit more

clout across parts of scotland and also northern ireland with the shower in the north—west. by the time we get to friday, and he remained —— any rain remaining will clear. quite a breezy day without north—westerly breeze and we will be looking at more clout developing as we go through the course of the day. temperatures starting to climb by a degree or so and as we go through into saturday and sunday that will be the trend. bridge is continuing to rise. it looks at the moment as if someone in the south—east and perhaps on tuesday, could hit 30 celsius. first time we have seen that this year. thank you, carol. lovely and misty there this morning. let's take a look at today's papers. the head of gchq has made a speech, this is in the times, wading into

the brexit security row. he has said that the uk and gchq in particular has been helping to foil terrorist attacks and other security issues across europe and he is questioning how that will continue after brexit. in the daily mail about talking about cannabis. so much discussion about cannabis. so much discussion about medicinal cannabis, and lord haig saying that perhaps can bet —— cannabis should be legalised. they have spoken to in an hbos who says, don't go soft on cannabis. an update on this story from yesterday. we we re on this story from yesterday. we were speaking to hannah deacon, who was alfie dingley‘s mother, who has been asking for cannabis oil for her young son, six years old. she says she cried with joy and relief yesterday when she was told that actually, the home office was giving her a licence to treat him with cannabis oil. we have spoken to her over the last couple of months 0n brea kfast. over the last couple of months 0n breakfast. she was absolutely desperate about her son, and that is

110w desperate about her son, and that is now going to happen. the telegraph's main story refers to matt hancock, the culture secretary, he says that children's mobile phones should be taken away from the matter school gates. he is talking about mobile phones and be in vocations for mental health. hand them over? will that happen, can it happen? you can't not take your phone to school, pa rents would can't not take your phone to school, parents would want to contact their kids. great picture. reminiscent of my kids. great picture. reminiscent of my fair lady. the royal ascot scene, with the duchess of sussex, meghan markle, looking straight into the lens. she is on the front page of the express as well. 23 million people could face working until they drop. that is their main story, about people working beyond retirement age. the gchq stories on the front page of the guardian. and a different picture from royal ascot. a different picture of meghan markle on the front page of the sun. harry topples megan. they are referring to harry kane, because his goals against tunisia the other

night got 21 million people watching the match on bbc one comparing with 13 million watching the royal wedding one month earlier.l 13 million watching the royal wedding one month earlier. a bit of analysis, apparently, lots of happy fa ns analysis, apparently, lots of happy fans calling in sick after watching that. 21 million of them? it ended at 9:30 pm. surely you can... i mean, i watched at 9:30 pm. surely you can... i mean, iwatched it, and i still got to work. thank goodness. do you know what i mean? anyway. laziness, isn't it? you can watch something and enjoy it and still come to work. and coming to work is arguably as fun because you can talk all about the night before. sunday lunchtime is the next one? yes. could be a quiet monday morning in offices across the country. it was not addictively quiet in the england training camp yesterday. after a big game you see people having a massage or maybe a cold bath to freshen up afterwards. have you ever seen cold bath to freshen up afterwards. have you ever seen unicorn cold bath to freshen up afterwards. have you ever seen unicorn racing? no. you have now. this was the

england training camp yesterday. that looks like fun. you've got some of the players, obviously, getting on—board of the players, obviously, getting on— board inflatable unicorns of the players, obviously, getting on—board inflatable unicorns for a little race, which i guess is a good way of switching off, which is what gareth southgate is trying to do. way of switching off, which is what gareth southgate is trying to dolj am gareth southgate is trying to do.” am imagining the germany squad are seeing these pictures and thinking, what are these guys? what do brazil make about? i they would be envious. those guys are enjoying themselves. apple party x might let's hope it pays off on sunday. -- a pull party! . — — pool. pays off on sunday. -- a pull party! . —— pool. that is like a jon kay holiday. the whole family, in the pool holiday. the whole family, in the pool. thank you very much indeed. more papers, and lots more on those stories and we will have more on the england camp, so to speak, a little bit later. as we've been hearing, president donald trump is facing a growing clamour to stop forcibly separating families who try to enter the united states illegally.

one of the reasons behind the outrage is this photograph, which has been shared countless times around the world since it was first published a week ago. it shows a honduran girl crying as her mother is detained and searched by us border patrol guards in texas, and was taken by photographerjohn moore, who joins us now from new york. thank you forjoining us. i bet you cannot believe a pop that image has become over the last few days?m cannot believe a pop that image has become over the last few days? it is true, i didn't expect it to have this amount of impact. we like to think that the work that we do a lwa ys think that the work that we do always matters but this time, it seems like this picture touched a lot of the ball. -- people. can you tell us about the situation in which you happened to take it? what you about her? i have been photographing

the us border patrol as they were taking into custody asylum seekers along the border with mexico. this little girl was with her mother. she is two years old. they have come from honduras. ispoke is two years old. they have come from honduras. i spoke with the mother in spanish briefly before they were taken away. they were very scared. it was the middle of the night. they had been travelling for a full month and they were very exhausted. the mother sent her daughter down when told to buy a customs and border patrol agent. and immediately, the girl started crying. it was a classic case of separation anxiety in a very acute way in front of me. that is hard for anybody to watch, isn't it? a child crying, a child on their own crying in that difficult situation. how do you deal with that, when you are also doing yourjob. you are there to ta ke also doing yourjob. you are there

to take pictures, to record what is going on, and you see a little girl in tears? i am a father myself. i have to daughters and a son who is a toddler. and so as a parent, i know that separation anxiety is a real thing for children, even in the best of circumstances. and of course this was not one of those. i only really had a few seconds to take these photographs, when the child started wailing. i took a knee and photographed from the child's level. that little girl, she moved me. at the moment, i had to stop and take a few deep breaths after these pictures. it is sometimes difficult to do. but i was really the only witness there and it was myjob.” suppose by being the only witness, your photograph has now made millions and millions of people around the world more aware of what has been happening. you know what has been happening. you know what has happened to her since then? do you know where she is and where her

mother is? i don't know yet. i am trying to find out. the us government has not really been forthcoming on letting me know where she would go. and in fact, when these people are taken away, we do not know which ones will be separated, parents and children, and which ones will not be. so it is very difficult to know. they don't release that information and they don't separate parents and children in front of the cameras. and so i will be working on that in the next few days to find out more. you are a photographer. you are not a politician. and yet the images you have captured have become such an important part of the politics of all this. what is that like for you, to be thrown into that controversy as well? well, i've been photographing the border between the us and mexico and immigration issues, really, for a decade. for getty images. that has been one of

my main assignments through the yea rs. my main assignments through the years. the policies have changed, the laws here in the united states which govern immigration have not changed in the slightest. the border patrol agent and the agent to our protecting and guarding the us border are the same ones as always. —— agents who are. what has happened is that the trump administration has changed policy and they are executive the orders in a different way. —— executing. that is what is playing out in front of my camera, anyway. do you see yourself as having a political role in this, in thejob having a political role in this, in the job that you do? well, i try to humanise the story and put a face to it as much as i can. i know that people are suffering, many of these people are suffering, many of these people who come seeking asylum from central america are coming really with just the shirts on their backs. they do not come with months of planning. they come because they had to leave in the middle of the night. ifi to leave in the middle of the night. if i can put a face to some small

extends on the zero tolerance policy of the trump administration,, i have no regrets about that. —— some small extent. thank you forjoining us on brea kfast. extent. thank you forjoining us on breakfast. president trump has been speaking about that again overnight, defending the policy and saying this is the only way there is to control and stop what he calls the influx of migrants heading over the border in legally from mexico. it is interesting that in the 21st century, we still have the power of a photograph. a still image. all that video, or that stuff... yes, all that stuff we are inundated with. a photograph is still very powerful. steph‘s in liverpool this morning looking back at its year as european capital of culture a decade ago. good morning. yes, can you believe it? ten years ago it was here at liverpool, as you said, spent an awful lot of money to try to bring more culture into the city. it is

full of culture, you can see around me all the wonderful museums. you have got be liver building, you have got liverpool one, it is certainly an area trying to attract visitors here. we are looking at the legacy, what has changed in the ten years since they won that funding and one that title as european capital of culture. we have got the breakfast sofa with us, we will be chatting to lots of guests about this. first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from news. the daughter ofa good morning from news. the daughter of a pensioner who died of legionnaires' disease says she is still waiting for an apology from the care home responsible for his death. kenneth ibettsen died after moving into the bupa—run home in brentwood in 2015. last month the

actually got a place and are benefiting from 30 hours of free childcare for three and four —year—olds. their parents, they take the full provision, saving about £5,000 per year. an ancient piece of writing has been uncovered in part of cornwall long associated with the legend of king arthur. the 1,300 year old slate gives weight to the theory that tintagel was an important royal site that may have been the seat of kings. and we may even know their names. the words tito and budic are inscribed on the stone. you have been there, haven't you?”

have, it's an amazing spot. you have been there, haven't you?” have, it's an amazing spotm you have been there, haven't you?” have, it's an amazing spot. if you had somewhere where kings lived, that will be on the list. such a stunning place. it has onlyjust come to light, i thought they had scoured every bit. john is here with the sport. leading with a story that is not the world cup? andy murray is back. summaries complete. england at the world cup and andy murray competing act as well. he's back but no guarantees he will play at wimbledon. you need andy murray at wimbledon. he has his body to think about. he will be waking up and deciding how he feels. murray spent two and a half hours on court against the australian nick kyrigos,

and he showed us what we've been missing. he took it three sets, but lost 7—5 in the decider after almost a year away following hip surgery. my my body did 0k. my body did ok. i thought towards the end my serve dropped off quite a bit, which potentially could have been due to a bit of fatigue and just because i have not played any matches for such a long time. but overall, i do with things, i think, pretty well. —— i dealt with things. the british number one kyle edmund is through, after beating the american ryan harrison which means he's the only briton into the second round. johanna konta continues her preparations for wimbledon at eastbourne next week after being losing to petra kvitova at the birmingham classic.

would. hayles got out when it looked like they were getting to 500. when you are at 481 and feel disappointed you are at 481 and feel disappointed you know it it has been a great day. poor mo salah. having lit up the premier league, he hasn't been able to show the world what he can do on the biggest stage, sadly. he picked up the injury in the champions league final, keeping him out of egypt's first match. he came back for their second, but sadly couldn't help them to victory. egypt had their wish and had their star man back in the side after injury, but their world cup looks all but over after losing again. they were beaten 3—1 by russia, who remeber weren't meant to be very good. but have scored eight goals in two matches! salah did get on the scoresheet with a penalty, but it leaves them pointless and their exit could be confirmed this afternoon. and fair to say there's been some surprises, germany, argentina, spain

and brazil all dropping poins. well there were a few more in group h, as columbia were beaten by japan, helped by a red card for carlos sanchez. have a look, not the most unsubtle of handballs. former manchetser united man shinji kagawa rolled in the penalty and they made that advantage count as they scored a second for their first world cup win against a south american team. there was a first win for an african team at the tournament too, as senegal beat poland 2—1 after a bad backpass, then an error from former arsenal keeper wojciech szczesny. that allowed them to win. and are theses the most considerate football fans in the world? the senegalese supporters cleaning up the senegalese supporters cleaning up after themselves having watched their team win. if everyone was as

considerate as that, wouldn't the world be a better place? louise and i will be watching carefully to make sure your coffee cup is being taken away. i do try. from the most tidy to the team having the most fun — england and their inflatable unicorns! proof that england continue to do things a little differently at this world cup. unicorn racing part of their recovery at their tarining base following that 2—1 win over tunisia on monday. the players have got a day off today ahead of their second group match against panama on sunday. lam the i am the owner of a giant inflatable swan. they look like they are having the time of their lives! that is what gareth southgate trying to

create so they are not weighed down with the burden of expectation. here are today's fixtures. portugal and cristian ronaldo up first on bbc one — they play morrocco. after that uruguay face saudi arabia at four, and then at seven the 2010 champions spain take on iran. you can listen to that one on bbc radio 5 live sank you. —— thanked you. thank you for reading the memo about the pink and white. when peter pugh became stuck in remote marshland for more than 20 hours while he was out walking he thought he would never see his family again. but remarkably he was rescued after being spotted by a police drone without which officers say he may never have been found. debbie tubby reports. this is the moment the police drone found peter pugh hidden, 24 hours after he went missing and when his

family had lost all hope that the rescu e rs family had lost all hope that the rescuers would find him alive. we all came to the same conclusion at the same time that we were never going to see him again.” the same time that we were never going to see him again. i have to admit that i thought i would be lucky to live. because i am 75 and my heart is not to be enjoying this. peter pugh knows the marshes well, but he became disorientated. trapped in the three bed, lying in the water, unable to swim out and left drinking the water.” water, unable to swim out and left drinking the water. i kept trying to escape, but i couldn't. i couldn't. .. i couldn't escape, but i couldn't. i couldn't... i couldn't crawl because my feet got stuck and if i stood up and tried to walk i got stuck or i fell over again. so i thought, well, at some point, hopefully, they will start looking to meet. he went missing on saturday, the drone filming these pictures, found him on sunday. here and has everything but rescue, then it took an hour and a

half to winch him out. to actually see him as ian still moving has got to be probably the best feeling i have had in my ten years at the police. well, it is dangerous. the salt marshes are one of those habitats where on this you have real familiarity with the very site—specific areas where you can and cannot go, it is bit of a lottery. you can be fined one day or and another date you can take a different route and be stuck. more than 50 people helped in the rescue. we are incredibly lucky that these people who take no glory and just help families like us, i will burst into tears in a minute. peter pugh is now expecting his wife to tell him off. i am sure she will, at some point. she hasn't so far. i have got a feeling i am not going to be allowed to go for a walk on my own any more. we will ask that because we are going to speak to felicity later in

the morning. we will find out whether she will let him go out again. it is amazing how policing is changing. brilliant. still recovering, but we will speak to her later. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. iam in east good morning. i am in east sussex and enjoined by the owner and fruit grower tommy. good morning. and enjoined by the owner and fruit growertommy. good morning. how has the weather affected your strawbridge this year? they have been good this year, enough moisture in the soil and in of sunshine. when does the strawberry season run from until?” grow strawberries in the open, note poly- grow strawberries in the open, note poly— tunnels or anything like that. my poly— tunnels or anything like that. my season begins injune and runs through to july, and my season begins injune and runs through tojuly, and i have more i am planting at the moment so i will have more in august as well. succession planning! that's it. you also grow other fruit which has not

done as well, why is that? the up—and—down temperatures we had in march and april. if things were in flower at the wrong time, the bees we re flower at the wrong time, the bees were not out, the pollen tubes didn't grow, and i've got some plum trees just over there and that variety has nothing on it. but some of the other plums are looking really good. roseberry ‘s this year, the soil has been a bit wet. —— raspberries. it is a heavy soil for rosebery growing here, and that is writ problems i have with the raspberries. so not as many of those. but apples, raspberries. so not as many of those. butapples, plums raspberries. so not as many of those. but apples, plums and cherries are looking good. we look forward to sampling some of the strawberries. for now, thank you. speaking of such things, take a look. look at all these strawberries. lots of them here. the forecast, as you can see around me, is fairly cloudy. for most of us todayit is fairly cloudy. for most of us today it will be a dry day and there will also be some warm sunshine around as well. at the moment we have got some rain across scotland with a finger that extending into

northern ireland, northern england, and northern wales. that is all going to be moving east and south during the day. as we move south it will weaken in nature. a band of cloud sinking southwards with patchy light rain and drizzle. a cloudy and damp start to the day across southern england. it will remain so across devon and cornwall. this will retreat back to the coast and the sun will come out. as this weather front flips out across england and wales, behind it it will brighten up and we will see sunshine and some heavy showers across the north and west, some of which will have fund around hale embedded in them. here it will be fresher of the top temperatures could get to 27 somewhere in the south—east. through this evening and overnight we have a band of showers coming into the west of scotla nd band of showers coming into the west of scotland and moving east. at the same time this weather front is going to sink south, clearing the south—east and in doing so, she conditions will follow behind. it is not going to be as muggy a night as it has been for the last few. tomorrow we start off with clearer

skies, lots of sunshine, actually, tomorrow. a blustery day. a fresh north—westerly wind and through the day we will see some cloud bubbling up. sunny spells through the afternoon, rather than wall—to—wall blue skies. temperatures down a touch on what we are looking at today. if you are going to royal ascot for ladies day, all going to queens for the tennis, it is set to be fair. as we go on into friday, again, lots of dry weather around. lots of sunshine as well. fair weather doubling up through the day. a bit more so across scotland and northern ireland where we could catch the odd shower. still a very blustery and breezy day with temperatures beginning to climb. as we go through the weekend and into next week the temperatures will continue to climb, with some places in the south is likely to hit about 30 degrees for the first time this year. for we go, the pollen levels today are high or very high across england, wales and northern ireland and loyal moderate across scotland. thank you, we will see you shortly.

this year marks the 10th anniversary of liverpool as the european capital of culture. as newcastlegateshead gears up for their great exhibition of the north, steph‘s gone back to liverpool to find out what impact their year in the cultural spotlight is still having on the city. showers there this morning at the albert dock. that looks fantastic, what a great skyline. good morning. yes, you cannot deny, that is a gorgeous skyline here on albert dock just by the mersey. it really shows you, as well, thatjuxtaposition here between the old and the new. 0bviously liverpool has such a strong history and so many different areas. that is what this particular areas. that is what this particular area really capitalises on. where i am stood now, in the retail area and business area, there is also one of

the old ships that was used for trading from here. this is the glacier, one of the oldest tall ships in the world. this was used to ta ke ships in the world. this was used to take stone from this country over to denmark. what liverpool is really trying to do is use its culture and its history to get as many visitors as possible to come and visit. as you say, it ten years ago it won the title of european capital of culture, so what we are doing today is looking at what kind of difference that has made in this area. so ten years on from winning that, winning the £130 million that was pumped in over six years, looking at what difference it has made. jayne mccubbin has been to find out for us. for so long it was so easy to talk liverpool down. but then came a moment. the uk's nomination to be capital of culture in 2008 is liverpool. 2008 definitely felt like

a moment. hundreds of thousands of people celebrating and everybody wanted to be a scouser.” people celebrating and everybody wanted to be a scouser. i was right there in that crowd as 2008 drew to a close. at one time we were getting really bad press, and now it is just wonderful, i am choking up again. you are, aren't you? god bless you! and occasionally cynical city had been won over. were there cynics? well, yeah. iwould been won over. were there cynics? well, yeah. i would have been foremost among cynics. really? because i've been trying to save my culture lots and lots of times. frank culture lots and lots of times. fra n k cottle culture lots and lots of times. frank cottle boys went from early day doubter too firm believer that something brilliant would come of it. what changed? everything in 2008 was people. people were so up for it. if it is real culture than it

really works. you have no idea what the payoff is going to be. none whatsoever. it is a leap of faith. yeah, you build an art school because you think it would be great for people to learn how to paint and the next thing you know you have the beatles. 2008 has paid off. public, private and eu money transforms the city. 2008 was a calling card, telling the world it must drop by. wa ry telling the world it must drop by. wary from? i'm from pennsylvania in america. lithuania. holland. first impressions of liverpool? great, it's really nice here. visitor numbers boom. in ten years the value of tourism has almost trebled to the £4 billion. liverpool is now the fifth most popular uk destination for overseas visitors. ten years ago the council arrested in the arena. culture, they say, is now liverpool's main economic driver. cities cannot go into spirals of decline. rates cities like liverpool have got to find a way to raise their heads up and do brilliant

things and by using culture as a tool to regeneration, which is what we have done, that is how we have done it. we have used this brilliant city and its events and stories to really put a rocket under the generation of the city. the city continues to dream big. liverpool's giants are back later this year. it is an economic model recognised either government with the launch of the uk's own city of culture. commentary is waiting in the wings for its moment in 2021. —— coventry. so, that gives you a flavour there of the excitement at the time. what difference has it made an hour? with me as the mayor of liverpool and also a representative from the in situ to public policy. so, seeing that video and listening to everybody, or the excitement about winning european capital of culture, what does it feel like now, ten yea rs what does it feel like now, ten years on? for me, it was a real milestone. it was the first page of

a new chapter, if you like. we have built on that. it was a great time, a great year of events. this year was the 10th anniversary and we have it on even more events. it is a bigger, event packed programme and party this year than it was back then. we have a fund that. it was a tremendous time. it gave a real opportunity for this city to showcase itself again and we have exported that in spades, notjust in 2008 but right the city to showcase itself again and we have exported that in spades, notjust in 2008 but right away into 2018. what difference do you think it has made? give us some of the things it has made a difference to? if you look at 2008 we had 32 hotels. we now have 66 hotels. the culture and tourism, the visitor economy to our city, it is now worth about £6 billion per year. it employs people. it it creates jobs and opportunities and business growth. it was a tremendous boost, really, for the city and the whole region. and as i have said, i think we built on that. we didn't just switch off the lights in 2008. we have made sure we get that going andi we have made sure we get that going and i think the city is now

considered an exemplar when it comes to culture and tourism and the things we do here. sarah, i will bring you in, you guys do lots of research on this and the impact it has. what are your thoughts on the difference it makes? there is the direct economic benefits that joe has talked about. we know from the work that the arts council has done that the arts and culture are worth about £1.5 million to be regional economy a year, and if you look at the digital section coming through thatis the digital section coming through that is £99 billion in terms of regional gpa. these are important sectors for the economy. it is not just the direct stuff, it is the indirect and tradition they may, and what happened in liverpool was not just about the direct economic benefits. it was about the way it shook people up, it challenged the preconceptions of what liverpool was and what the city could offer. when you talk about cities getting this money and being able to make areas look more fabulous, what about the outlying areas? sometimes people feel it is all about the city and it

is not about where we are. what are your thoughts on that? that is the real challenge for the north of england. we want a creative and cultural arts scene which is accessible by everybody, no matter whether you live in a city not. and that means we have got big events in the centres of city like liverpool and manchester, and they are important, but we have to make sure that creative arts and culture are mainstream through the process. that is about schools, it is about health services, it is about libraries, about making sure people have access to the arts on their doorstep. do you think that has happened?” to the arts on their doorstep. do you think that has happened? i think so. you think that has happened? i think so. if you look at what we are doing in the project this year, widdle are involved in that. more visitors visit sefton and outlying areas of the city region. i think it does play a role in promoting the whole region and notjust the city and i do think that knock—on effect is evident. the statistics show that. you can even see tourists out this

morning. thank you so much for your time. it is a bit blustery down here, but it is referred shameful to they will be more from us later on, but for now, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. the daughter of a pensioner who died of legionnaires' disease says she is still waiting for an apology from the care home responsible for his death. kenneth ibbetson died after moving into the bupa—run hutton village care home in brentwood in 2015. last week the private company was ordered to pay £3 million pounds. his daughter valerie says his death was preventable. he wasn't ready to die. he gave the home a new lease of life and he was looking forward to his twilight years, really. we all know that at some point in our lives we're going to lose our parents. our father, were totally

unexpected. people living around grenfell tower are being encouraged to talk about mental health as part of a new drive to support those struggling to come to terms with the disaster. the campaign is being led by kensington and chelsea council, health agencies and charities. experts believe many who witnessed the tragedy could need treatment for post—traumatic stress disorder. the metropolitan police say they have seized more assets from criminals in london than ever before. the seizures include this yacht. a rhino horn and a suitcase that contained £200,000. scotland yard say a record total of £94 million has been collected in the past financial year, an increase of more than 40% since 2016. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. mine delays on the overground

between new crossgate and crystal palace. severe delays on the piccadilly line eastbound between hyde park corner and king's cross. 0n the trains, there's disruption on greater anglia and stansted express services between chesunt and stansted airport due to over—running engineering works. 0n the roads, this is the north circular at finchley is. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another humid night and this warm, humid and with us at least for today. we will have a cloudy start this morning, but this cloud is moving away further south and will get some spells of sunshine. it will feel really warm at one point. cloud moving down from the north. patchy cloud, some bright spells. the cloud thick enough to produce some rain. maximum temperatures still warm at 26. that cloud is a cold front. it sweeps across us overnight. clearer skies towards the end of the night and into thursday morning. and what it does do is bring some fresh air. a bit cooler tonight. between 10—13 celsius. a lovely and bright start for thursday. you may see some cloud through the day. lovely sunny spells. the air is feeling that little bit cooler. 20 celsius is the maximum.

we have lost the humidity. lots of dry weather and sunshine in the forecast and the temperature is continuing to rise through the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to jon and louise. bye for now. hello this is breakfast, withjon kay and louise minchin. how many patients died at gosport war memorial hospital after being prescribed powerful sedatives? after decades of waiting, families hope they'll finally get answers today as a major inquiry is published. good morning, it's wednesday 20th june.

also this morning: the stage is set for another brexit showdown as the eu withdrawal bill returns to the commons. president trump is defiant about immigration despite mounting outrage over the separation of families entering the us illegally. good morning from albert docks in liverpool. it was here ten years ago will when the european capital of culture. a decade later i am looking at what difference it has made to the region. in sport, andy murray makes his long awaited return from injury, but says he could still miss wimbledon. he lost to australian nick kyrgious at queen's after eleven months out with a hip injury. and carol has the weather. good morning from maynard's farm in

east sussex, where we are talking strawberries this morning. how has the weather affected them? you might be surprised. the weatherford today isa be surprised. the weatherford today is a cloudy start, rain thinking south and east, the sun behind with a few showers the south of england, when this breaks, will hang onto the sunshine for the longest. all details in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. an inquiry into hundreds of deaths at gosport war memorial hospital will be published this morning. a previous investigation found that patients were almost routinely given drugs including morphine and diamorphine between 1988 and 2000, and that this may have shortened life in some cases — but no criminal charges were ever brought. 0ur health correspondent, catherine burns, reports. robert wilson, sheila gregory, geoffrey packham, elsie devine, arthur cunningham, gladys richards. some went into gosport war memorial hospital to recover after falls, others had bed sores or broken bones. none came out alive.

gillian mackenzie's been fighting for justice for her mother gladys for 20 years. she said the 91—year—old was doing well when sent to gosport to recover from a hip operation. 0n the day she was admitted her medical notes said nurses could confirm her death. after another fall, gladys richards was put on diamorphine, it is used to relieve severe pain, for example — after a car crash or end of life care. gladys died four days later, her daughter went to the police. when i had contacted the police and said i want an appointment with somebody with an allegation of unlawful killing, i had been told "there, there my dear, you are upset." within four years, police were investigating 92 deaths. no proceedings were brought. there have also been inquests into 11 of those deaths and a general medical council

hearing into one doctor. jane barton was a gp who worked part—time at the hospital, she signed 833 death certificates over 12 years and was found guilty of serious professional misconduct. she wasn't struck off, but chose to retire. this latest investigation has taken four years and cost £13 million. gillian mackenzie and other families say they hope it will be highly critical and take them a step closer to criminal charges being brought. catherine burns, bbc news. and we'll be speaking to the granddaughter of a woman who died at gosport war memorial hospitaljust after eight this morning. the prime minister is — once again — facing possible defeat in the house of commons today over key brexit legislation. mps are due to vote on an amendment to the eu withdrawal bill which would give parliament more of a say if no deal

is agreed with brussels. 0ur political correspondent ben wright is at westminster for us — it seems like we have been here before, what's going on? we have talked about crunch votes and showdowns in any time in the last two months, as this issue has bounced between houses, but today i think it could be decisive. essentially this is about clarifying parliament's role towards the end of the brexit process. what happens if mps reject a final deal agreed between the uk and the eu? 0r mps reject a final deal agreed between the uk and the eu? or what they do if there is no deal reached at all? that is what this is all about. in those circumstances the government says it would make a statement to mps, but opposition parties and crucially, a number of tories, don't think that is good enough. what they want is the guarantee of a proper vote that would enable mps to shake the government's response in the event ofan government's response in the event of an ideal situation. it would

effectively ta ke of an ideal situation. it would effectively take that option of crashing out of the eu without a deal off the table. which is why the govern are opposed because they think it needs to be in the back pocket as they negotiate. it has all been very bitter and is coming down toa been very bitter and is coming down to a crunch vote, politics is about numbers and what will determine this is how many tories decide to rebel and a vote with the opposition parties. if they do, the government could lose. it could be a tense afternoon. president trump has been heckled by democrats over the policy of separating children from their parents if they enter the united states illegally from mexico. mr trump was holding a meeting in the us congress to address the issue amid growing public anger, as 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. amid growing concern from members of his own party, the president came to capitol hill to talk about the crisis on the southern border. the system has been broken for many years — the immigration system has been a really bad, bad system.

probably the worst anywhere in the world. having met with republicans, he was heckled by democrats. quit separating the kids! you are separating the children! mr president, don't you have kids? still, no word of an imminent solution. these are laws that have been broken for many years, decades. we had a great meeting. thank you. pressure to reform america's immigration system is being driven by images such as these. children kept in cages after being separated from their parents. under a new zero tolerance policy, anyone caught crossing the border illegally is now being arrested. 2,000 sons and daughters have been separated from their parents in little over a month. mr trump insists the solution lies with congress. but as protests sprout up around

the country and in the face of growing international condemnation, one conservative talk—show host has likened the situation to a crisis which threatened to derail a previous republican administration — warning that this could be trump's katrina. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. there's been strong criticism of the united states' decision to withdraw from the un human rights council. the head of the council said he was disappointed the us was stepping back. but washington's envoy to the un, nikki haley, said the organisation was a "cesspool of political bias" and had ignored calls to reform. this step is not a retreat from human rights commitments. 0n the contrary, we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self—serving organisation that makes a mockery of human rights. canada has legalised cannabis

for recreational use, becoming the first major industrialised country to do so. politicians say it will reduce underage use and related crime. canadians will be able to buy and consume cannabis legally as early as this september. the head of gchq has said the surveillance agency has played a critical role in disrupting terrorist plots in at least four other european countries in the last year. however, jeremy fleming said it was important the uk and the eu continued to co—operate on security issues after brexit. the government is seeking a bespoke deal on security co—operation. five people have been injured after a small explosion at a london tube station, thought to have been caused by an electrical fault. officers were called to reports of people running at southgate station just after 7 o'clock yesterday evening. a man at the scene described people being trampled. two people were taken to hospital and three others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. nursery bosses in england say

they face financial loss and even closure because of free childcare places offered by the government — that's according to a survey by an industry body. the national day nurseries association says the government does not pay them enough for the 30 hours of childcare which has been offered to working parents of three and four year olds since september, and the scheme creates costly administration. but the minister for children and families says the system is working for most nurseries. almost 300,000 children have actually got a place and are benefiting from 30 hours of free childcare for three and four—year—olds. their parents, they take the full provision, saving about £5,000 per year. a bakewell pudding which was launched to the edges of space has gone missing.

pupils at a school in derbyshire sent the pudding flying on monday to raise money for charity. tracking devices showed it had reached an altitude of 16,000 metres but the devices have now stopped working. the school still hopes to find it. we have to apologise because i called it a part, i thought puddings and tarts were interchangeable, a p pa re ntly and tarts were interchangeable, apparently not. a pudding is made with eggs, the tart, not so. it is 11 minutes past seven. the home secretary has said the government will carry out a review into the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. it follows a number of high profile cases of children with severe epilepsy being denied the drug to control their seizures. but what is the evidence that it actually works? we're joined now by professor celia morgan from the university of exeter, who's done research into the use of cannabis.

and callie blackwell, who says using the drug helped save her son's life is in our london newsroom. there is obviously a clear deficit —— difference between medicinal use and recreational. what have you found about the effects of cannabis? we have done some clinical trials on mental health, we have found one of the chemicals in the cannabis plant can help reduce addiction, for cigarette smokers it reduces the amount of cigarettes and can also reduce psychotic symptoms, things like paranoia. that is our own research. which is different from what, what we think about cannabis is that it can lead to psychological

issues. absolutely. that is true, the evidence suggests that if you regularly smoke it then it can double your risk of developing psychosis. at the plant is pretty amazing and it contains around 85 chemicals unique to it. the one we have been looking at is very different from thc, which is the most abundant chemical in it. it is the one that get people stoned to. let's talk to carry and your son, i was explaining that he was extremely ill. you used cannabis we all? at the time it was a tincture. he was given three days to live and i gave him eight inch that they made out of a raw cannabis plant. —— tension. and you think it made a difference? absolutely. i sought work within half an hour. the initial effect it

have was that it got him off the morphine and a drug that he had been addicted to, he turned those drugs away the very first night. there are two different things going on about the medicinal use and everybody being allowed to. which would you like to see? i want to see a regulated market where everybody who has access because i think that is the only thing that we can see harm reduction. we saw it with alcohol in the 305 when alcohol was prohibited people drank ethanol, people are going to do it anyway. we need to regulate the market and ensure that people are safe. it seems that part of the confusion is that we have started to think about either recreational or medicinal, but within medicinal there are so many different forms of cannabis. we are talking about different things. we are. as! talking about different things. we are. as i mentioned, there is thc

and cbd and cbd is legal in the uk at but it is difficult to get in the uk but you can only get one that has 0.2% thc. also, the market, where it is legally sold in some places, it is legally sold in some places, it is very low dose and the labelling and the marketing of it is not really regulated. when people are looking to buy it to treat health problems they are not sure what they are getting. and on the internet it is available. leave you think it is heading? i think, like is available. leave you think it is heading? ithink, like kelly, the ultimate goal should be regulated. research that we have done is suggesting that the harms of it, if the market —— the market were regulated we could control the levels that was available and make it safer. lets pick up a point with you cally. you both talking about

some kind of market. how would it work? we mentioned, a professor mentioning that in some forms can may be found to cause psychosis. cou nty may be found to cause psychosis. county pin it all down? cau5ing p5ychosi5, ithink cau5ing p5ychosi5, i think that come5 because there is the regulation. the weed people are buying on the street is not regulated, drug dealers do not ask for id and don't care what they are 5elling you. they sell cannabis with chemicals sprayed selling you. they sell cannabis with chemicals sprayed on it. regulation is the only way we can limit the problems we see with psychosis. cannabis and thc can only trigger psychosis which is already there. we need a regulated markets we can protect people from this. if they they have a risk we can help them, rather than them going to a deal and not knowing what they are getting. slightly different situation, though. very different. you are talking about the recreational uses, the home secretary made it clear yesterday he doesn't want to change the law as far as recreational

cannabis is concerned. lots of stories in the papers this morning of families who say that cannabis will and their family's life, my child went off the rails, it was a gateway drug, et cetera. there are lots of people who are very concerned about this, aren't they? yes, sure. we are not saying that cannabis is free from harmful stop there are definitely harms associated with it along with psychosis. 10% of people can become addicted to cannabis. to make the drug addicted to cannabis. to make the d rug safe addicted to cannabis. to make the drug safe it should be the government regulating it, it should be taken out of the hands of drug dealers. thank you both. just to reiterate what the home secretary 5.3de reiterate what the home secretary sajid javid said yesterday, he said, since becoming home secretary it became clear to him that the current legal position on cannabis is not satisfactory or parents, doctors or for me. he went on to insist that this step is in no way a first step towards the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use. this will be something we will continue to discuss. thank you both. it's 7:18 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news.

carol is out in the countryside in sussex this morning at a strawberry farm. good morning. a chilly start here despite the fact that later on temperatures are going to be very high. we are looking at strawberries. i've just tasted high. we are looking at strawberries. i'vejust tasted one on this farm, and the fruit grower, tom, is not here at the moment, so i hope he isn't watching, but i can tell you they are really succulent and juicy. you can see lines of them. interestingly, last yearthe british strawberry industry was worth £1.2 billion and more than 137,000 tons of strawberries were sold just in the uk. and of course wimbledon is coming up at the beginning ofjuly, well—known for all the strawberry consumption there. i think a lot of those, if not all of them, come from kent. the weather this morning in east sussex and also kent and much of southern england is fairly cloudy and it is also quite damp. but this will

retreat back to the coast and then the forecast for today in the south isa the forecast for today in the south is a warm one. it is also a dry one for many parts of the uk today. but there is rain in the forecast. looking at the charts, what we have is some heavy rain which has fallen overnight across scotland and northern ireland. that is now moving towards the east and the south. it is also across northern england at the moment and a small amount in northern ireland. that will clear away. as it does, the sun will come out and we will see showers across the north and west. some of those will be heavy and thundery. for the rest of england and wales, as that weather front goes south through the day, you will find that it will weaken and we won't see much more than a band of cloud and some patchy, light rain and drizzle. if you are going to the tennis at queens or royal ascot you will be very lucky if you get a bit of dampness as india, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility. —— dampness in the air. the further

south you stay, more likely you are to have a sunny day. generally we are looking at temperatures from the mid—to high teens in scotland and northern ireland and the high teens to be low 20s in england and wales. through this evening and overnight the weather front continues to push away from the south—east allowing fresh conditions to come in. so it won't be as muggy. at the same time we have a band of showers moving from west to east across scotland. so here it will be fresher. that is how we start the day tomorrow. lots of sunshine around, because by then most of the showers will have cleared, through the day we will see some fair weather developing. so instead of the blue skies we start with we will have sunny spells. temperatures down a touch tomorrow, so not just temperatures down a touch tomorrow, so notjust more comfortable for sleeping overnight but more co mforta ble sleeping overnight but more comfortable if you are out and about during the day. higher degrees —— i temperatures of 42. friday, it will bea temperatures of 42. friday, it will be a fresh start to the day. lots of sunshine around. some fair weather

cloud bubbling up through the day. a bit more across scotland and northern ireland. he we could just see the shower. a blustery day both on thursday and friday. as we head through the weekend and into next week with the high pressure in charge it will be fairly settled. lots of dry weather and some sunshine. the temperatures will continue to climb and sometime next week we could hit 30 summer in the south—east. before i go, pollen levels today are high or very high across england, wales and northern ireland. in scotland they are low or moderate. thank you. parenting is an expensive business at the best of times. but if you have a three—year—old or a four—year—old and you live in england you will know that one cost has dropped dramatically in recent months. 0r has dropped dramatically in recent months. or at least, that was the aim. since september of last year working parents have been entitled to 30 hours of free childcare per week. some nurseries say they are covering the cost of the government

giveaway and it might even force them to close. we are going to talk about this in a moment and we would like to hear your views as well this morning. first let see how the new policy is going down at one nursery. i think it is a fantastic scheme. it allows me to work three days a week now. for a fraction of the cost. earlier i was only able to work two days a week. the introduction of 30 hours is great, we support it fully. it is not so much that 30 hours is the problem, the problem is that the syste m the problem, the problem is that the system is not affordable.” the problem, the problem is that the system is not affordable. i used to pay just short of system is not affordable. i used to payjust short of £400 a month for two days of childcare. now i can cover the cost of food which is about £80 a month and i get three days of childcare. i find it difficult to understand how a business can be forced to offer a

service at a loss. for us, it is anywhere in the region of £1.90 per hour per child. so over £15 a day. it isa hour per child. so over £15 a day. it is a great idea and i'm glad it impacts in the way it is supposed to. but i hope we can, to a solution where our are to. but i hope we can, to a solution where ourare being met as to. but i hope we can, to a solution where our are being met as it well —— net as well. where our are being met as it well -- net as well. those were the views from one nursery. well, panima is the head of the national nurseries association and she joins us this morning. we heard the story about one nursery there. how difficult is it, that this is proving to be difficult for staff and businesses to implement? that is quite typical, we have been carrying out the service for eight years now. before the government introduced this policy, we want the government that because this scheme is under funded, chronically underfunded for a number of years, chronically underfunded for a number of yea rs, by chronically underfunded for a number of years, by doubling the hours, in theory, the government is actually going to create more problems for nurseries, in terms of doing high—quality childcare. great for

pa rents. high—quality childcare. great for parents. you heard the parent, in terms of their support for childcare. nurseries are the ones who are paying for it. it is dishonest for the government and the minister to say, free childcare, because it isn't actually free. pa rents a re because it isn't actually free. parents are picking up younger children, actually paying for some of the costs. explain to us, the nurseries do get money from the government for every child? for every child, three —year—olds and four —year—olds get 30 hours, and the government passes the money to the government passes the money to the local authority. right. what's the local authority. right. what's the problem with that? the problem is that at the moment on average the government is paying for three rolls in four—year rolls around £3.85 or even £4.50. it varies between local authorities. that is per hour? yes. and that is going to the nurseries? yes. but in some cases the local authority is not even paying it for 6-8 authority is not even paying it for 6—8 weeks, which causes cash flow problems. the most important thing is the cost of delivering a higher

quality childcare for nurseries, going up every year. the cost of living, utilities, business rates, national minimum wage, some of these costs are government imposed costs. all of that is increasing and just to give you an example, in 2014, local authorities were passing on £4.90 for two —year—olds. now in 2018 that funding is £4 motor ninepence. a ninepence increase in four years, there is no way to discount those costs.” four years, there is no way to discount those costs. i bet they will be thousands of parents getting their children ready to go to nursery right now, to drop them off this morning, who have dealt with huge nursery fees over the years. they have always wondered, why is it so expensive? and they would have said nurseries were overcharging pa rents for said nurseries were overcharging parents for too long. what you say to them? they are not overcharging. at the moment they are not even covering their costs. what they are having to do, they are delivering the three—year—old in four—year old promise that the government has made for pa rents promise that the government has made for parents but they are doing it by limiting the number of places they

can offer to parents and also charging for extras like meals and snacks and outings and things like that, which they have not done in the past. some of them are saying that they may have to close because they can't afford to do this. is that right? they are closing. we have seen a 45% increase in the closure of nurseries, that is just the ones that we know of. there are obviously a number of other areas where they have closed, were play school ‘s are closing, what the government needs to understand is that it government needs to understand is thatitis government needs to understand is that it is notjust us saying this. the treasury select committee, after the evidence, actually published a report and made some recommendations, saying the scheme is underfunded. 0k. thank you for coming in. what's of people will be talking to us about this, i'm sure, they will be getting ready to take their children to nursery this morning. as it helps you? how might your problems be solved? and the government say 300,000 youngsters are now benefiting from this policy. they say it is working. let us know

if you think it is working as well. 27 minutes past seven. steph is out and about in liverpool, looking back at its year as european capital of culture, which was a decade ago. it looks overcast but lovely. that morning. good morning. yes, absolutely gorgeous. that view is spectacular. i'm outside the merseyside maritime using. this museum is filled with all the history of the area. what an interesting thing to see here, the juxtaposition between the old and the new. you have the museum here, then you have got the reader, the architectural building over their filled with architectural stuff and activision spaces. another museum over there. liverpool one as well. it has been ten years since liverpool won the european capital of culture, that £130 million injection of capital over six years to try to get more visitors here, to come and embrace the culture.

funnily enough, a coach driver called jason just walked past me for a chat and he said he reckons he brings in lots of chinese tourists to the area. interesting how he was saying it has really changed. loads more people who want to come and visit. we are looking at the legacy of that european capital of culture to liverpool. we have got the sofa with us as well, and on the sofa one of the guests will be phil redmond, the guy who created things like grange hill, brookside, what a classic that was, and also hollyoa ks. classic that was, and also hollyoaks. more from me here and little bit later on. first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. the daughter of a pensioner who died of legionnaires' disease says she is still waiting for an apology from the care home responsible for his death. kenneth ibbetson died after moving into the bupa—run hutton village care home in brentwood in 2015. last week the private company was ordered to pay £3 million pounds. his daughter valerie says his death was preventable. he wasn't ready to die.

he gave the home a new lease of life and he was looking forward to his twilight years, really. we all know that at some point in our lives we're going to lose our parents. but the circumstances under which we lost our parents, our father, were totally unexpected. people living around grenfell tower are being encouraged to talk about mental health as part of a new drive to support those struggling to come to terms with the disaster. the campaign is being led by kensington and chelsea council, health agencies and charities. experts believe many who witnessed the tragedy could need treatment for post—traumatic stress disorder. the metropolitan police say they have seized more assets from criminals in london than ever before. the seizures include this yacht. a rhino horn and a suitcase that contained £200,000. scotland yard say a record total of £94 million has been collected in the past financial

cloud moving down from the north. patchy cloud, some bright spells. the cloud thick enough to produce some rain. maximum temperatures still warm at 26. that cloud is a cold front. it sweeps across us overnight. clearer skies towards the end of the night and into thursday morning. and what it does do is bring some fresh air. a bit cooler tonight. between 10—13 celsius. a lovely and bright start for thursday. you may see some cloud through the day. lovely sunny spells. the air is feeling that little bit cooler. 20 celsius is the maximum. we have lost the humidity. lots of dry weather and sunshine in the forecast and the temperature is continuing to rise through the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to jon and louise. hello, this is breakfast

withjon kay and louise minchin. home isjust after 7.30. —— the time. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. an inquiry into hundreds of deaths at gosport war memorial hospital in hampshire will publish its findings this morning. a previous investigation by the department of health found that — over twelve years from 1988 — the use of powerful painkilling drugs, including morphine and diamorphine, had "almost certainly" shortened the lives of some patients. but no criminal charges were ever brought. the prime minister is again facing possible defeat over key brexit legislation in the house of commons today. mps are due to vote on an amendment to the eu withdrawal bill which would give parliament more of a say if no deal is agreed with brussels on the uk's departure. conservative mps are threatening to vote against the government if it doesn't make concessions. president trump has been heckled

reduce underage use and related crime. canadians will be able to buy and consume the drug legally as early as this september. the head of gchq has said the surveillance agency has played a critical role in disrupting terrorist plots in at least four other european countries in the last year. however, jeremy fleming said it was important the uk and the eu continued to co—operate on security issues after brexit. the government is seeking a bespoke deal on security co—operation. five people have been injured after a small explosion at a london tube station, thought to have been caused by an electrical fault. officers were called to reports of people running at southgate station just after 7 o'clock yesterday evening. a man at the scene described people being trampled. two people were taken to hospital and three others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. inafume

in a fume and it's time we will be picking strawberries. carol is out in east sussex with a basket and she is determined to get as many as she can. but first johnnies is determined to get as many as she can. but firstjohnnies herewith the sport. i wonder if andy murray will be having any? great to see him back, it completes the landscape of the british summer. he says he will wake up tomorrow morning and see how he —— is body is feeling. sample sums to rabri ‘s. the pool will be strong. —— sample some strawberries. he's back but no guarantees he will play at wimbledon. murray spent two and a half hours on court against the australian nick kyrigos, and he showed us what we've been missing. he took it to three sets, but lost the decider after almost a year away following hip surgery. the british number one kyle edmund is through afterr

beating the american ryan harrison which means he's the only briton into the second round. and johanna konta will continue her preparations for wimbledon, at eastbourne next week after losing to petra kvitova at the birmingham classic. she's been going 0k on the grass, making the nottingham 0pen final at the weekend, but found the left hander‘s power a little too much in herfirst round defeat. the records tumbled as england set the highest one day internationl score beating australia at trent bridge yesterday. it was raining sixes, openerjonny bairstow got to 100 injust 69 balls. not to be outdone alex hales produced some huge hitting of his own as england finished on 481 for 6 beating the previous record they'd set at the same ground two years ago. australia nowhere near that total as england wrap up the series. to the world cup where it's hard not to feel for mo salah. his tournament almost over before

it ever really begun, egypt losing their second group game despite his return from injury, leaving them on the brink of elimination. it isa it is a real disappointment. and real disappointment for salah who hasn't been able to show the world what we've all seen in the premier league this season? he made that return last night but couldn't help them as they lost. he made that return last night but couldn't help them as they lostm was all is good to be a gamble for mohamed salah to start the game last night. just 24 days after that injury in the champions league final when he hurt his shoulder. i think the chip had to take the gamble, without him they are an ordinary cider. with him they are capable of magical moment. it was russia who really took control of the game after that own goal after half time. a wonderful atmosphere in saint

petersburg the morning after that victory. remember, russia came into the stormont with a lot of negativity surrounding the national cider. the lowest ranked team, but suddenly they are heading, barring a series of unexpected results, to the last 16 for the first time since 1986. ‘s appointment to each, a massive celebration in russia. we we re massive celebration in russia. we were led to believe they were rubbish at foot wall but they have scored eight goals in their opening two games. we had the first red card of the tournament, as japan beat columbia? you have to feel sorry for carlos sanchez, a former aston villa player, his second world cup. three minutes in and he is sent off. the referee had no option stopping the ball from hitting the back of the net. colombia fought back and

equalised but in the second half japan gota equalised but in the second half japan got a winner. that could be a historic goal, the first timejapan have one on european soil at a world cup in the first time they have beaten a south american opposition. they now have a chance to get the last 16. many thanks indeed to that. meanwhile, take a look at what was going on in the stands. are these the most considerate football fans in the world? these senegalese supporters cleaning up atfer themselves having just watched their team win. if everyone was as coniderate wouldn't the world be a better place? it would be certainly more tidy. leaving it clean for the next group of fa ns leaving it clean for the next group of fans are. i wished they played at my local parts. —— park. from the most tidy, to the team having the most fun. england and their inflatable unicorns! proof that england continue to do things a little differently at this world cup. unicorn racing part

of their recovery at their training base following that 2—1 win over tunisia on monday. the players have got a day off today ahead of their second group match against panama on sunday. so perhaps more of the same. jesse lingard getting on the other side of the camera too. brilliant fun. nice to see they are enjoying themselves and it takes the pressure off. those long days in the tea m pressure off. those long days in the team hotel, thinking about the next match. this is a good way to switch off. could you imagine the conversations? we are going unicorn racing! here are today's fixtures. cristiano ronaldo's portugal are up first on bbc one — they play morrocco. after that uruguay face saudi arabia at four, and then at seven the 2010 champions spain take on iran. you can listen to that one on bbc radio 5 live. ronaldo i am sure looking to add to that hat—trick he scored. 8740 one

a.m.. “— that hat—trick he scored. 8740 one a.m.. —— it is 7:41a.m.. pancreatic cancer can be one of the most difficult cancers to diagnose and treat and new figures highlight the extent of the challenge. pancreatic cancer uk has found just three per cent of patients in england with the most common type of the disease will survive for at least five years. and fewer than one in five will live for a year after diagnosis. and for all types of pancreatic cancer, only around 4% live for five years. diana jupp is chief executive of pancreatic cancer uk and she is here with us now. those figures, how would you describe them? they are stark. that is exactly it. they are stark, shocking and completely unacceptable. we commissioned this study, it has been running for the last three years and looked at over 25,000 patient two data and we are

talking about it today in order to say that we are urging, needing pancreatic cancer on the top of the agenda for the government, for research funders and four commissioners because we need to change this for patients being diagnosed. is this because it is so ha rd to diagnosed. is this because it is so hard to diagnose? if that is the case, had we change that? that is it. hard to diagnose, a majority would be diagnosed at a later stage because the symptoms are very vague. we have had a legacy of underfunding in research, so currently pancreatic cancer receives just 2.1% of the national cancer research money and asa national cancer research money and as a result of that we haven't had the breakthroughs in early diagnosis, in treatment, development. you talk about the symptoms being difficult to diagnose, what should people be looking out for? the trouble is that

they are quite vague, abdominal pain, persistent or unusual, often it turns into back pain this topic unexplained weight loss. potentially some people are diagnosed with late onset of diabetes without having gained any weight and fatigue. so, general symptoms. 0ne gained any weight and fatigue. so, general symptoms. one of the other can be jaundice, turning yellow, the eyes turning yellow and that could be southern potentially treat serious happening and we are calling pancreatic cancer and emergency because we want governments, gps and eve ryo ne because we want governments, gps and everyone to be aware of the science at and symptoms and be aware that we need to be able to do more to patients living with pancreatic cancer today and being diagnosed in the future. one of the symptoms for us to the public to know about, do you think doctors know enough? generally we haven't been talking about pancreatic cancer in the public or with gps are. why is it?

there is that 10,000 people diagnosed every year, so it is not that rare. most people will know of somebody, but because, i think, generally the diagnosis is delayed and the prognosis is also very poor, families and individuals, it is not in the public arena, we are not talking about it. you talk about the diagnosis, whenever we talk about cancer it is always better to get in early, what about the actual treatment? is it difficult to treat? yes, the tumour itself, we refer to the cancer is one of the toughest. it is very tough cancer and the tumour is tough and and it means treating it is hard to get treatment through to the cancer itself is, therefore at the moment the only real treatment that is successful is surgery, real treatment that is successful is surgery, which is why it is essential to get it diagnosed as

early as possible because those who can have the surgery have a much better prognosis and survival outcome. thank you very much indeed. two things to find out about, how are the strawberries this year and how was the weather? carol has the a nswe rs how was the weather? carol has the a nswers to how was the weather? carol has the answers to both. good morning, everybody. iam in east sussex this morning at maynard farm. you can see all the lines of strawberries here, some lovely, succulent, juicy strawberries. because we've had such topsy—turvy weather at the start of this year that has resulted in slower ripening of strawberries, and consequently this year's crop will produce slightly sweeter, bigger and juicy strawberries than in the last few yea rs. strawberries than in the last few years. that's according to british summer fruits, the industry body that represents 98% of the berries supplied to uk supermarkets. we have tasted some of these strawberries

this morning and that is absolutely right. as you can see all around me in east sussex it is cloudy, damp, and that is what it is like across many areas of the uk this morning. we have rain across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england, which is moving south and east and will push away. the forecast for many of us today is a dry one. a fair bit of cloud around. in the south in particular it is going to be warm. in the south we have got all this cloud, the drizzle coming out of it, this will push back to the south coast and the english channel coastline, lingering across parts of east devon and cornwall, though east devon may brighten up. rain across the north sinking south. a week feature. we find it it will brighten up with some sunshine and showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery with hail across the north and west. as the front crosses england and wales it is not going to produce much more than a band of cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle. for

the south—east, hanging on to the sunshine when it comes out later this morning, high potentially up to 27, but pressure as we push further north. this evening and overnight the weather front continues to move away from the south—east, leaving clear skies and fresh conditions behind. it will be as muggy as it has been. at the same time, we have got a little sister moving from the west to east across scotland. that is producing some showers. for the rest of us it will be a dry night and a fresh night than it has been lately. tomorrow we start off with lots of blue sky and tomorrow, as well, you will find that there will be lots of fair weather cloud developing through the course of the day. maybe the odd shower in the north—west, though that will be unlikely. quite blustery. we are looking at a high of 21 or 22 tomorrow, so if you are going to the tennis or to royal ascot for ladies day, it should stay dry, but don't forget the extra hat pin, because it will be windy. friday, another largely dry day with lots of sunshine. maybe one of two showers

in the north—west of scotland and at times, a little bit of cloud across northern ireland. by friday the temperatures will be starting to climb once again, as they will continue to do so through the weekend and into next week. some parts of the south—east next week could well hit 30 celsius. before i 90, could well hit 30 celsius. before i go, pollen levels today will be high or very high across northern ireland, wales and england. moderate or low across scotland. thank you, carol. see you in half an hour. it's ten years since liverpool became european capital of culture. as newcastle—gateshead gears up for their great exhibition of the north this week, steph's gone back to merseyside to find out whether its year in the cultural spotlight is still having an impact. good morning again, steph. good morning. it is blustery but a very refreshing here this morning on albert dock, just by the river mercy. it is here where there is a real hub of the history and culture of the region. you've got one of the

tall ships there, one of the trading ships used to carry stone from this country over to denmark, and around me you have the tate museum, the old pumphouse, the maritime museum, and positioned among all of that is liverpool one in the background, a big retail and business area, and of course you have got the liver building in the background. we are here because ten years on from liverpool winning european capital of culture, we are looking at what a difference it has made. jayne mccubbin, who is actually from the area, of course, and was here ten yea rs area, of course, and was here ten years ago when that announcement was made, has been looking into that for us. for so long it was so easy to talk liverpool down. but then came a moment. the uk's nomination to be capital of culture in 2008 is liverpool. '08 definitely felt like a moment. hundreds of thousands of people celebrating and everybody wanted to be a scouser.

i was right there in that crowd as '08 drew to a close. at one time we were getting really bad press, and now it isjust wonderful, i am choking up again. you are, aren't you? god bless you! an occasionally cynical city had been won over. were there cynics? oh, yeah. i would have been foremost among cynics. really? because i've been trying to save my culture lots and lots of times. frank cottrell—boyce went from early day doubter to firm believer that something brilliant would come of it. what changed everything in '08 was people. people were so up for it. if it is real culture than it really works. you have no idea what the payoff is going to be. none whatsoever.

it is a leap of faith. yeah, you build an art school because you think it would be great for people to learn how to paint and the next thing you know you have the beatles. 2008 has paid off. public, private and eu money transformed the city. 2008 was a calling card, telling the world it must drop by. where are you from? i'm from erie, pennsylvania, in america. lithuania. holland. first impressions of liverpool? great, it's really nice here. visitor numbers boomed. in ten years the value of tourism has almost trebled to the £4 billion. liverpool is now the fifth most popular uk destination for overseas visitors. ten years ago the council invested in the arena. culture, they say, is now liverpool's main economic driver. cities cannot go into spirals of decline. rates cities like liverpool have got to find a way to raise their heads up and do brilliant things and by using culture as a tool to regeneration, which is what

we have done, that is how we have done it. we have used this brilliant city and its events and stories to really put a rocket under the generation of the city. the city continues to dream big. liverpool's giants are back later this year. it is an economic model recognised either government with the launch of the uk's own city of culture. coventry is waiting in the wings for its moment in 2021. great looking back at the memories of that. with me is the fantastic creator of tv shows like grange hill and hollyoa ks. creator of tv shows like grange hill and hollyoaks. and a representative from the university of liverpool doing lots of research on the impact of what winning the capital of culture can have other city. let me start with you, phil. you are from the region. what was it like when it won the title of european capital of culture and how does it feel now? fantastic again, i mean, obviously

it went through every other city, there was that rocky patch but we got through that. it was a brilliant year. i think that you laid the foundations for what has happened over the last ten years which is basically people finding a new belief in themselves. after 2008 the city had really been battered by 30 yea rs of city had really been battered by 30 years of concentration on dysfunctional politics, economic decline in things like that. we forgot who we were. myjob was saying to everybody, let's remember why this place is here. let's ramble what we've given to the world and what we've given to the world and what we've given to the world and what we can do again, building the confidence again. you only have to look kind us to see what is actually changed. do you think it has really made a difference to how people feel here, and the economics? it has. it is just fantastic now with the confidence. we have the whole baltic triangle and the technology centred down the road which didn't exist before. all those young kids who had

a great time during that year when we found out we can do it. economically, the visitors economy in the city has dominated since 2008. our in the city has dominated since 2008. 0urfigures have gone from 2 billion to 4 billion. 0ver 2008. 0urfigures have gone from 2 billion to 4 billion. over the time, the number of grounds, that was £100 million, we have put an extra £2 billion into the economy by attracting visitors. so culture, as i always say, let's squeeze it in, yeah? it is the post—brexit antidote. beatrice, you have obviously done a lot of research on this. what are your thoughts on the impact? it is actually the long-term legacies we can talk about. we are ten years on. what we have in observing is that on the one hand, the cycles under fluctuations, jakarta experience those byjust looking at the year after. what is quite impressive is to see, right now, however city like liverpool has been repositioned and how its reputation can be changed. 0ne been repositioned and how its reputation can be changed. one of the first layers of work we did was about the media representations of

liverpool. so, going back to the mid— 19905 liverpool. so, going back to the mid—19905 and also to the reactions at the time of the bid, when there was actual disbelief that liverpool could get the title. really, there wasn't much confidence, especially in england. so, as phil said, the rocky buildup towards 2008, in 2006 and 2007, those were harsh years in terms of media reaction. how do you look at that, and let's see weather it is forgotten by 2009. liverpool still has its problems. how do you change that? well, it has its problems like any other northern, post—industrial city. we are still going through that and still changing to a new direction. 0ne going through that and still changing to a new direction. one of the most interesting things is that there is no longer any dominant sector or economy there is no longer any dominant sector or economy or there is no longer any dominant sector or economy or employer within the region. looking at it from the past that seems weird but it is actually a greater virginity for the city to say, ok, where does the future lie? —— great opportunity.

you have to give credit to the mayor, joe anderson, having the scent of culture and economic development, i think that is where we are now. that is our position. fascinating talking to you both. thank you forjoining us on this blustery but refreshing morning. it keeps you awake, doesn't it? there will be more from 0ssia later on but first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. —— more from us here. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. the daughter of a pensioner who died of legionnaires' disease says she is still waiting for an apology from the care home responsible for his death. kenneth ibbetson died after moving into the bupa—run hutton village care home in brentwood in 2015. last week the private company was ordered to pay £3 million. his daughter valerie says his death was preventable. he wasn't ready to die. he gave the home a new lease of life and he was looking forward to his twilight years, really. we all know that at some point in our lives we're going

to lose our parents. but the circumstances under which we lost our parents, our father, were totally unexpected. people living around grenfell tower are being encouraged to talk about mental health as part of a new drive to support those struggling to come to terms with the disaster. the campaign is being led by kensington and chelsea council, health agencies and charities. experts believe many who witnessed the tragedy could need treatment for post—traumatic stress disorder. the metropolitan police say they have seized more assets from criminals in london than ever before. the seizures include this yacht. a rhino horn and a suitcase that contained £200,000. scotland yard say a record total of £94 million has been collected in the past financial year, an increase of more than 40% since 2016. let's have a look at the travel situation now.

severe delays on the piccadilly line eastbound between acton town and cockfosters. disruption on greater anglia and stansted express services between cheshunt and stansted airport due to overrunning engineering works. this is the a40. long delays on western avenue from sweetly‘s roundabout in hillington towards northolt. in homerton, brooksby 's walk is closed to roadworks in both directions between, ten high—street and the junction with, ten grove. good morning. another humid night and this warm, humid and with us at least for today. we will have a cloudy start this morning, but this cloud is moving away further south and will get some spells of sunshine. it will feel really warm at one point. cloud moving down from the north. patchy cloud, some bright spells. the cloud thick enough to produce some rain.

maximum temperatures still warm at 26. that cloud is a cold front. it sweeps across us overnight. clearer skies towards the end of the night and into thursday morning. and what it does do is bring some fresh air. a bit cooler tonight. between 10—13 celsius. a lovely and bright start for thursday. you may see some cloud through the day. lovely sunny spells. the air is feeling that little bit cooler. 20 celsius is the maximum. we have lost the humidity. lots of dry weather and sunshine in the forecast and the temperature is continuing to rise through the weekend. hello this is breakfast, withjon kay and louise minchin. how many patients died at gosport war memorial hospital after being prescribed powerful sedatives? after decades of waiting, families hope they'll finally get answers today as a major inquiry is published. good morning.

it's wednesday 20th june. also this morning. the stage is set for another brexit showdown as the eu withdrawal bill returns to the commons. president trump is defiant about immigration despite mounting outrage over the separation of families entering the us illegally. good morning from the royal albert docks in liverpool. it was here a decade ago that this city was announced as the european capital of culture so ten years on, i've come to find out how it has made an impact. in sport, andy murray makes his long awaited return from injury but says he could still miss wimbledon.

he lost to australian nick kyrgious at queen's after 11 months out with a hip injury. and carol has the weather. and strawberries! good morning. good morning from maynard's farm in east sussex where there's an abundance of strobe is but a dull start across england and wales, brightening up mid—morning with some sunshine. for the rest of england and wales, patchy light rain, travelling cooler behind it. but much more detail in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. an inquiry into hundreds of deaths at gosport war memorial hospital will be published this morning. a previous investigation found that patients were almost routinely given drugs including morphine and diamorphine between 1988 and 2000, and this may have shortened lives in some cases. no criminal charges were ever brought. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. robert wilson, sheila gregory, geoffrey packham, elsie devine, arthur cunningham, gladys richards. some went into gosport war memorial hospital to recover after falls.

others had bed sores or broken bones. none came out alive. gillian mckenzie's been fighting for justice for her mother, gladys richards, for 20 years. she says the 91—year—old was doing well when sent to gosport to recover from a hip operation. but on the day she was admitted, her medical notes said nurses could confirm her death. after another fall, gladys richards was put on diamorphine. it is used to relieve severe pain, for example after a car crash or in end of life care. gladys died four days later. her daughter went to the police. when i had contacted the police and said "i want an appointment with somebody in cid with an allegation of unlawful killing", i had been told, "there, there, my dear, you are upset." within four years, police were investigating 92 deaths. no proceedings were brought. there have also been inquests into 11 of those

deaths and a general medical council hearing into one doctor. jane barton was a gp who worked part—time at the hospital, she signed 833 death certificates over 12 years and was found guilty of serious professional misconduct. she wasn't struck off, but chose to retire. this latest investigation has taken four years and cost £13 million. gillian mckenzie and other families say they hope it will be highly critical and take them a step closer to criminal charges being brought. catherine burns, bbc news. in a few minutes, we'll be speaking to the granddaughter of a woman who died at gosport war memorial hospital. the prime minister is once again facing possible defeat in the house of commons today over key brexit legislation. mps are due to vote on an amendment to the eu withdrawal bill which would give parliament more of a say if no deal

is agreed with brussels. 0ur political correspondent ben wright is at westminster for us. it seems we had a similar discussion only a few days ago. good morning. we have had many crunch roads and showdowns in the last few months, as the question has bounced between a house of commons and the house of lords and back again. today it is with mp5 and i think for the final time, this will be the decisive moment where mps really have to figure out what parliament's role will be at the end of the brexit process if no deal is reached with the eu. the government says in that situation, it needs a free hand to act however it wants. but opposition parties, labour, and crucially, a handful of tory mps think that is not good enough, that parliament needs a real say at that moment in shaping the uk's response and that is what they are going to be voting on today. it has been a very bitter argument. this will all come down to

how many tory mps are prepared to rebel against the government and vote with opposition parties and a risk theresa may could be defeated. it will be a tense afternoon in westminster. i'm sure it will. thank you forjoining us. president trump has been heckled by democrats over the policy of separating children from their parents when they enter the us illegally at the mexican border. would separating the kids or separating the children, mr president, don't you have kids? mr trump was meeting republicans in the us congress to address the issue amid growing public anger. more than 2,000 children have been removed from their parents since the start of may. there's been strong criticism of the united states' decision to withdraw from the un human rights council. the head of the council said it was "disappointing, if not really surprising, news". but washington's envoy to the un, nikki haley, said the organisation was a "cesspool of political bias" and had ignored calls to reform. the head of gchq has said the surveillance agency has played a critical role in disrupting

terrorist plots in at least four other european countries in the last year. however, jeremy fleming said it was important the uk and the eu continued to co—operate on security issues after brexit. the government is seeking a bespoke deal on security co—operation. five people have been injured after a small explosion at a london tube station, thought to have been caused by an electrical fault. officers were called to reports of people running at southgate station just after 7 o'clock yesterday evening. a man at the scene described people being trampled. two people were taken to hospital and three others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. the rescue ship aquarius is due to set sail from valencia this afternoon — after safely carrying hundreds of stranded migrants to the spanish port last week. both italy and malta refused to let the vessel dock and take in the passengers, sparking a diplomatic row in europe. 0ur europe reporter gavin lee

is there for us this morning and will be joining the voyage. gavin, interesting to know how the arrival of those migrants in valencia, how has that gone down with people there? it is interesting, actually, because they have been given 30 days to stay, to work out what to do next, and 45 days after that, for the new spanish government, to work out, do they wa nt ta ke asylu m government, to work out, do they want take asylum here or to move to france and they will be processed. some may be returned. i think the feeling is here, a lot of people particularly in valencia talk about how they support the spanish government but this is a big issue around europe about what to do, not only with migrants coming through, because many italians support the new italian government which have taken a firm stance to say that there will be no ngo boats, no charity boats coming into dock in sicily any more which is why the

aquarius was for c —— was at sea than seven days, and that's why people had to go outside the search and rescue zone outside the coast of libya. here is where we are now, comedy where it is going back out to sea comedy where it is going back out to sea today and we are going on board with them. for the next seven days, we expect, it is going straight back to the coast of libya and they are expecting to pick up more migrants if they are stranded at sea. italy are still saying they will not accept migrant boats, so we will see what happens next. it could be they have to come another 1000 miles back to valencia but this is a real new test ahead of the european summit where they will look at migration is weak. we will follow your reports. thank you forjoining us. back to our top story, a report looking into the deaths of hundreds of patients at gosport war memorial hospital will be published later. bridget reeves, whose grandmother elsie devine died there in 1999, joins us now from portsmouth. good morning. thank you forjoining

us. i know it is going to be a tough day for you. tell us a little bit about your grandma. my grandmother lived with us since i was three. she was very much a part of our family. she went into the gosport war memorial hospital after she was discharged from the queen alexandra, she was treated with antibiotics and she was treated with antibiotics and she fully recovered from an infection. she went into hospital just for respite and general care and some weeks later we received a telephone call to tell us that she was terminal and had 36 hours to live. which must have been devastating news and she had been an active 88—year—old? devastating news and she had been an active 88-year-old? yes, very active, out of bed every day, dressed herself, family visited with her daily. the day before they prescribed the drugs, basically, that overdosed, as found in the

inquest, she was talking to family, signing her pension book, happy. an external doctor saw her that morning and wrote in herfile external doctor saw her that morning and wrote in her file that she was happy, no complaints, not paranoid, said the tablets made her mouth sore but she was just waiting for her daughter and little did we know as a family at that time that she had been administered 25 mcg of fentanyl and the next morning, she then had 50 mg of cloak amassing, 40 mg of diamorphine and 40 mg of ledava lamp and she was then walked until she was laid in a bed and only then did they call the family to say that my grandmother was about to die.” they call the family to say that my grandmother was about to die. i know you have been asking questions for a long time. tell us about how important today is for you, your family and the other families. important today is for you, your family and the other familiesm important today is for you, your family and the other families. it is very, very important. as you

mentioned gillian mckenzie earlier so mentioned gillian mckenzie earlier so year before my grandmother was admitted to gosport, gillian's case was part of a police investigation, as you know. we were unaware. we went down the formal route, if you like, and had an independent review into my grammar the's death. we have had —— into my grandmother's death. we have had 12 investigations for gosport war memorial hospital in total, all behind closed doors and without accountability and we've never had our answers. we have fought very hard and we have to think this wonderful man for giving us the inquiry come his hands were tied, we wanted a judge led public inquiry so everything could be out in the open and people could be asked questions and we could hear the answers, but this has been a closed—door inquiry, just looking at paperwork. the terms of reference don't allow them to make any recommendations which is a disappointment to the families. so

we can only hope that the findings we can only hope that the findings we hear this morning will lead to the government standing up and realising that this needs to take some criminal proceedings. the department of health and social care, as i'm sure you know, will give us a statement saying the government along with local nhs organisations and authorities will receive a copy of the report and we expect the findings to be studied closely and carefully by all the releva nt closely and carefully by all the relevant parties. what strikes me is that this is so personal, so how do you prepare yourself for a day like this? it's very difficult. it is half of my lifetime campaigning and trying to get justice. half of my lifetime campaigning and trying to getjustice. my grandmother was such a big part of our lives and she lived a very good life and she deserved a good death. people have said to us, you know, well, she was 88. but that's not the point here. the point here is that she was not dying, and if she was dying, then the family had the right to know and she deserved the best

palliative care, not to receive the overdosing which she did and then have to wake up so distressed that following morning with 100 35mm and equivalent of morphine running through her body, with no family around her, to then be put to the floor by nurses and administered a high dose of another drug and then the syringe driver. it is absolutely... it is horrifying, actually, that this can go on, not only in any hospital but when there are elderly, vulnerable people involved. thank you forjoining us. bridget reeves, there. i know you are going to hear the results of the inquiry shortly so thank you for joining us. the time is 30 minutes past eight. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. picking strawberries! how many have

you got? i've eaten a lot jon, i wa nt to you got? i've eaten a lot jon, i want to tell you how many but we are ata want to tell you how many but we are at a farm in east sussex, look at this perfect strawberry. who better to talk to than the fruit grower here tom maynard. has it been good weather for strawberries because you have a bumper crop this year. it's good, it's great, this variety, elegance, we haven't even switched on the irrigation, we had enough rain earlierand on the irrigation, we had enough rain earlier and they have made a fantastic size. yes, lift one up and show it to the camera, look at that, a perfect strawberry, not bruised or anything. what makes good conditions for them? you mentioned earlier like the sunshine at the end. and isjust that combination of the sun at the right time particularly at the end, enough moisture which we can provide with irrigation which we didn't have to this year, and with these long days we are getting there is plenty

of sunshine to get the sweetness there. but not so good for your other fruits like raspberries and plums. that's right, we had too much rain in the winter on this heavy soil which caused root problems for the raspberries, they got too wet, the raspberries, they got too wet, the soil got to wet which wasn't good. plums, it was that up and down weather with the beast from the east, some varieties did not pollinate well, others were good but if the weather is not there when the flowers are and we don't get bees flying and we don't get fruit. why is straw between the strawberries?m don't get fruit. why is straw between the strawberries? it makes it more comfortable for us kneeling down and it also suppresses some weeds and keeps moisture in the ground. so for pick your own it is good to have a nice comfortable place for people to pick. a few less to pick today because we have been munching them and they are yummy! 0ver munching them and they are yummy! over here there is an abundance of

strawberries. lines and lines of them. and a fair bit of cloud. when we arrived in east sussex this morning it was dreich, grey and damp but is starting to brighton. for the uk as a whole we have patchy rain but also sunshine, and in the sunshine temperatures in the south of england could hit 27. between 19 and 22 degrees. we start off in the south of england and south of wales have a lot of cloud, some drizzle coming out of that, through the morning that will retreat back to the coastline. devon and cornwall could keep more although it could brighten up across east devon in the morning. heavy rain across northern ireland is now waxing and waning as it pushes south and east. that is a weather front, as it pushes south and east. that is a weatherfront, as it moves pushes south and east. that is a weather front, as it moves south it will be weaker producing some cloud

and patchy light drizzle. behind it is an but also showers across the north and west of scotland these showers could be heavy and handily with hail. into this evening and overnight, our weather front continues to push away from the south—east leaving much fresher conditions behind it. the other thing is, we will have at the same timea weak thing is, we will have at the same time a weak front going into western scotland, moving east producing showers but they should be gone by morning and we should all have a fresher night than the one that has just gone. tomorrow we start on a fine node with a lot of blue sky first thing. through the day the cloud will begin to bubble up, the odd shower in the north—west and quite a blustery day. temperatures tomorrow about 21 at best. if you are going to the tennis at the queen's club or to royal ascot it should stay dry but on ladies day at royal ascot sticker next of kin in your heart. you might need it. on friday dry weather, more sunshine,

loaded across northern ireland, consider yourself lucky if you get a shower, but blustery with temperatures climbing a little more. this weekend and into next week temperatures will begin to climb and summer temperatures will begin to climb and summer in the south—east next week they should hit 30 celsius. pollen levels very high across england and wales and northern ireland, low to moderate across scotland. back to you. i would have askedjust moderate across scotland. back to you. i would have asked just that question. if it is pick your own, they way you and the way out, they work out how many you have and eaten, they charge you! just even the thought of being way it is bad enough, never mind the strawberries! we'll get some cream and we'll meet you on the m6 with a basket. and maybe chocolate. fabulous! wouldn't that be lovely. thank you carol, see

you later. it's 19 minutes past eight. when peter pugh became stuck in remote marshland for more than 20 hours while he was out walking he thought he would never see his family again. but remarkably, he was rescued after being spotted by a police drone flying overhead — without which officers say he may never have been found. debbie tubby reports. this is the moment the police drone found peter pugh hidden in the tidal reed bed, 24 hours after he went missing and when his family had lost all hope that the rescuers would find him alive. we all came to the same conclusion at the same time that we were never going to see him again. i have to admit that i thought i would be lucky to live. because i'm 75 and my heart is not going to be enjoying this. peter pugh knows the titchwell marshes well, but he became disorientated. trapped in this tidal reed bed, lying in the water, unable to swim out and left drinking the fresh water. i kept trying to escape, but i couldn't. i couldn't...

i couldn't crawl because my feet got stuck, and if i stood up and tried to walk, i got stuck or i fell over again. so i thought, "well, at some point, hopefully, they will start looking for me". he went missing on saturday. the drone filming these pictures found him on sunday. he remembers everything but the rescue, and then it took an hour and a half to winch him out. to actually see him and that he was still moving has got to be probably the best feeling i have had in my ten years in the police. well, it is dangerous. the salt marshes are one of those habitats where unless you have real familiarity with the very site—specific areas where you can and cannot go, it is bit of a lottery. you could be fine one day and another day, you could take a slightly different route and get stuck. more than 50 people helped in the rescue. we are just incredibly lucky that these people who take no glory and just

help families like us... i will burst into tears in a minute if we don't stop! peter pugh is now expecting his wife to tell him off. i am sure she will, at some point. she hasn't so far. i've got a feeling i am not going to be allowed to go for a walk on my own any more! debbie tubby, bbc news. let's find out! peter is still recovering in hospital, but we can now talk now to his wife felicity pugh from her home in norfolk. hi, felicity, thank you forjoining us on breakfast. uneventful few days, have you told him off? no, i think he is giving himself a ticking off. it is coming back to him. none off. it is coming back to him. none of us can imagine how he did it. now i've seen the drone pictures i'm staggered at how he survived. my

thing and peter's thing is to thank these incredible people who used a saturday night, the coastguards, the police, the special search group with the dogs, the norfolk fire service, and wales and cromer coastguards, these great men who'd spent the whole of saturday night and most of sunday, they had a couple of hours off and the helicopter, on saturday night the helicopter, on saturday night the helicopter worked until two o'clock, looking, and could not see it. it had four men in it, it came from humberside. we are so grateful to everybody. just looking at these drone pictures of peter in the marshland, no disrespect to him that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. absolutely, absolutely. he does have a steely core, he always has had, i think it has got him into

scrapes. but he has a lot of apologising to do and i'm going to win him around everywhere to apologise. his steely core has allowed him to survive. what do you think he should apologise for, and to whom? to the rspb because he should not have been where he was. and i always say common sense is not his middle name! but he is so intrepid. he cycles for miles and thatis intrepid. he cycles for miles and that is what has kept him going. he cycled 40 miles on friday and at lunchtime on saturday back and forth to watch a norfolk heroes challenge. and his strong legs, 75, kept him alive, i think. 20 hours he was waiting to be rescued, he is a lucky

chap, isn't he? i say, miracles, the secretary of our parish council said they were all praying for him on sunday morning and i said, it really worked. yes. we didn't go to bed, my three sons and their wives wittier and one granddaughter and we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that when he was found he wouldn't be alive. 0ur gratefulness to all these services is enormous. does he feel bad that it took so many people and resources to find and rescue him? we are being gentle about that at the moment, we haven't told him the figures involved. i think you just have, felicity! i'm not sure he will have, felicity! i'm not sure he will have seen this. our eldest son who lives in norfolk showed him a bit of it last night but i think it will be an awful lot to assimilate. and also the fact that, he knows that he

should have walked back to the house with us which was what was planned, but he boldly said he was going to look at the seals. it seems that he didn't. he said something about thinking that he had an hour and a half. he didn't. he had half an hour. how is he doing as he recovers in hospital? remarkable, the stuff in the assessment unit are wonderful and he's getting terrific attention. they have stabilised him immediately, the doctor in the ambulance was able to deal with him, his hypothermia and is very low blood temperature. we saw him half an hour after it got back to the hospital, and he was covered in one of those plastic air things to get his temperature up. he could barely speak. he was covered in weed and mud and everything that the first

thing he said was, have you brought the newspapers. which made us laugh because he has three or four newspapers every day and that seems to have kept him going. when he looks at them today he will be in them, on the front page of some of them. felicity, iwant them, on the front page of some of them. felicity, i want to ask you them. felicity, i want to ask you the question that he asked, if he asks to go on a walk to see the seals on his own again what would your reaction be? it will be hellishly difficult to stop him, he walks for a and hour and a half every day. i think this near death experience will, i hope, have made him bea experience will, i hope, have made him be a little bit more sensible and a bit more thoughtful to all of us as well! three boys, they have aged about ten years, they did not need that! i don't know. i'll let you know. felicity, thank you so much forjoining us and the very best wishes to you and to peter,

give him our best. that is very kind, thank you so much. we are devoted fans! like that, i think that we all need steely core. he has got one. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. if you are watching, peter, you are in trouble! good morning. it's been another fairly warm and muggy night for many across england and wales. the muggy weather has brought with it some cloud and misty and murky conditions across southern areas, around coastal parts. some rain affecting northern areas this morning which will gradually ease as it moves further south across england and wales. some sunny spells initially in the south—east of england developing. some sunshine developing to northern parts as well as the rain clears through.

quite a variation in temperatures today. we will keep the warm and muggy air down towards the south—east, where highs will be about 26 celsius. further north, behind the cloud and patchy rain, fresher air compared to yesterday. 13—17 in the far north, still 19—21 in northern parts of england and north wales with the sunshine. through tonight, showers across scotland, feeding into northern england. mostly clearing away into thursday morning. a fresher night to come compared to the last couple of nights. temperatures in single figures across the north, 10—12 further south and the fresher weather is because we have got a north—westerly wind blowing, moving away that warm, muggy air, and all of us will be under the influence of these bluer colours. for many on thursday, certainly, a fresh feel. starting off dry and sunny and keeping lots of sunshine into the afternoon. quite a strong wind, particularly in the north—east where there will be some outbreaks of rain for the northern isles, but some sunny spells.

temperatures down by a few degrees, you'll notice, 16—20. but as we go through into friday, indeed into the weekend and into next week, lots of dry weather, lots of sunshine expected and temperatures will start to rise again. you'll notice into tuesday next week, those temperatures into the 20s to high 20s, perhaps even one or two places getting up to 30 celsius. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with jamie robertson and sally bundock. the fox, the mouse and the telecoms beast. the board of 21st century fox meets today to weigh up bids from comcast and disney. live from london, that's our top story on wednesday 20th june. 21st century fox is a towering force in entertainment, home to the simpsons,
