6:02 am
minutes. —— the full forecast in. good morning. first, our main story. airbus has warned it could leave the uk in the event of a "no—deal brexit." the uk in the event of a "no—deal the aerospace company currently employs more than 111,000 people across 25 sites in the uk. ben is here with more. ben, what's going on? 14,000, to the five sites. 100,000 in the supply chain. —— 25 sites. the concern is what happens to those jobs. this is about the uncertainty related to brexit, staying in the customs union. they have said there is no certainty so we are making contingency plans. that involves stockpiling certain components to make sure they have enough to supply customers. in the longer term, they are looking at options. that could
6:03 am
be moving production to china. we know they build aircraft wings at pla nts know they build aircraft wings at plants in britain. wales, bristol, and so on. they did this three weeks ago, saying they have to make contingency plans. it is related to the idea of the customs union, uncertainty around customs checks, safety, and that kind of thing. they are concerned without that it could increase costs by as much as £1 billion. it is not firm yet. we have to be clear what the firm has said. the chief operating officer said this is not part of project fear but a dawning reality. looking at the last set of figures, airbus paid £70 billion of tax to the treasury. ——
6:04 am
£17 billion. so it's an issue for tax too. president trump says he's ordered government agencies to reunite the hundreds of families who have been split up after arriving illegally in the us. the first lady, melania trump, has been one of those to voice concerns about the now overturned policy and made an unannounced visit to a centre where some children are being cared for. our north america correspondent, chris buckler, reports. the first lady knows that in recent weeks, many families arriving at america's border have faced a very different sort of welcome. this is one one of the centres migrant children are cared for having been separated from their parents. this visit shows the concern of melania trump of what is happening under the flag of the us and her husband's administration.
6:05 am
i am here to learn about the facility. i know you housed children on a long—term basis. i would also like to ask you how we can reunite them with theirfamilies. president trump reversed his policy after outrage at the images of children in cages and the stories of distress caused by families being torn apart. there is still confusion over how and when the separated will be reunited. although she travelled to texas to show sympathy, there were mixed messages because of the coat she wore. it was emblazoned with the phrase "i really don't care, do u? donald trump said this about it. it is certainly true washington is struggling to find solutions to america's immigration problems. as protestors staged demonstrations in the halls of congress, a proposal for a vote on legislation was delayed until next week, but there is no way of stopping
6:06 am
the flow of families seeking shelter here. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. we'll bejoined by us immigration lawyer, christi jackson, here in the studio at 7:10. more needs to be done to listen to whistleblowers when they raise concerns about the nhs in the wake of the suspicious deaths of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. that's according to damejanet smith, who led the inquiry into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven't been implemented. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says he's confident that checks are now in place to ensure similar problems would be identified quickly. it seems to me in the nhs they close ra nks it seems to me in the nhs they close ranks when somebody seeks to criticise them. people who raise complaints, they are not treated as well as they should be. the complete
6:07 am
system, the recommendations i have made, they have not been fully implemented. the eu has introduced retaliatory tariffs on a range of american products including jeans, bourbon whiskey and motorbikes. it comes in response to president trump's decision to increase the cost of exporting european steel and aluminium to the us injune. the european commission said it will do whatever is necessary to safeguard its trade interests. chancellor phillip hammond has insisted his department is not "the enemy of brexit". in his annual speech in the city of london last night, mr hammond said he was focused on boosting prosperity by promoting ties with the european union after britain leaves. our economics correspondent,
6:08 am
andy verity, reports. as gu ests as guests had a five course banquet in mansion house, philip hammond gave something hard to swallow. confirmation taxes will have to rise. he made it clearfunding nhs by borrowing more was unpalatable. so the arithmetic is simple, taxpayers will have to pay more to support the nhs. taxpayers will have to contribute a bit more in a fair and balanced way to support the nhs that we all use while delivering on oui’ that we all use while delivering on our fiscal that we all use while delivering on ourfiscal commitments. that we all use while delivering on our fiscal commitments. philip hammond also sought to dispel the thoughts of colleagues on the right of his party that the treasury was resisting brexit. that does not make the treasury on my watch the enemy of brexit. rather, it makes it the
6:09 am
champion of prosperity for the british people. outside the eu, but working and trading closely with it. it is not just working and trading closely with it. it is notjust taxes that will have to rise. today, six members of the bank of england's monetary policy committee voted to keep interest interest rate on hold. but it chief economist joined the interest rate on hold. but it chief economistjoined the minority of three voting for rates to rise. a majority may be in favour as soon as august. andy verity, bbc news. the church of england is making last minute efforts to engage with survivors of sexual abuse just weeks before the publication of what is expected to be a highly critical report. an examination of evidence by bbc local radio shows that serious allegations of abuse went unrecorded after cases involving dead and retired clergy were left out of a review in 2010. donna birrell reports. survivors say failures by the church of england to accurately record the number of abuse allegations may have
6:10 am
led to abuse continuing unchecked. the church is now asking for survivors to the church is now asking for sui’vivoi’s to come the church is now asking for survivors to come forward with their views on how the church has responded to them, something many think is too little, too late. the response of the church to survive as i think has been wholly inadequate. i think has been wholly inadequate. i think there has been a sense of paralysis, almost, on the part of the church of not quite knowing how to deal with it. as seeing the survivors is the problem. an independent enquiry is looking at the way the anglican church handled abuse claims. it showed them with discussions and disagreements within the church about which cases should be. one e—mail talks about damage to the then archbishop of canterbury. though he told the enquiry he never saw the e—mail. other documents highlight serious cases which never made it through to the final report, leading some to question whether abusers were left free to abuse.“
6:11 am
there is an opportunity to identify those who are, umm, posing a risk to other people, maybe even known offenders, maybe even with convictions, who do not become part ofa convictions, who do not become part of a known list, then, yes, there is every possibility they are able to continue doing what they have been doing. the church of england says it ta kes doing. the church of england says it takes the criticism very seriously and has commissioned an independent review into how it handled past allegations. that is due to be done next month and it is committed to acting on its recommendations. bbc news. events will take place across the uk today to mark 70 years since the empire windrush sailed in to britain along with hundreds of caribbean migrants in search of a new life. the anniversary comes as many continue to wait for clarification over their right to remain following the windrush scandal. the home office says it is committed to ensuring all those affected are given the assistance they require, but for some who were refused re—entry to the uk, it's come too late. when would you like to come back?
6:12 am
something like that. 40 years ago i... ieven something like that. 40 years ago i... i even knew people, perhaps they are all dead. where am i going to find them? american tv network abc has ordered a spinoff to the comedy series "roseanne" without the involvement of its creator and namesake, roseanne barr. the sit—com was cancelled last month after ms barr posted a racist tweet. it had recently returned after a 20—year break. the original writers, producers and cast members are all involved in the new show, which will be called "the conners." are you feeling flexible? why are
6:13 am
you asking me that? people all over the world have been marking international yoga day. the event which is recognised by the united nations began in 2014 with the aim of fostering peace and understanding, with millions meditating on different continents. people were found posing across the globe, in new york city, a moment of calm transcedence in times square replaced the usual hustle and bustle and honking of yellow cab horns. in rio dejaneiro, at the foot of christ the redeemer, they meditated for peace. and in the magical kingdom, who else but goofy was found to be doing the downward dog! here he goes. the dancing dog. everyone took part. so many places to do yoga. we have seen people doing yoga on goats, put aboard... —— paddle boards. ryan giggs, he

6:15 am
their keeper made a real howler to gift croatia the lead. they went on to win 3—0. and do we know england team to face panama on sunday? gareth southgate's assistant was spotted with this piece of paper in training yesterday, it appears to say sterling and alli are out with rashford and loftus cheek in instead. kyle edmund is out of the queen's, the wimbledon warm—up tournment. he was beaten by the australia nick kyrgios who also saw off andy murray in the previous round. and frankie dettori won the gold cup at ascot on board joint favourite stradavarius. it's the jockey‘s 60th winner at the course. i think he is someone who can definitely lost. apparently it will bea definitely lost. apparently it will be a lovely day, according to matt. are you going to sing for us? no, but it will be a lovely day. not a bad day ahead, in fact. yesterday probably the coolest day of the current spell. things are set to get hotter, 21 degrees the peak across parts of southern england. most in the teens with light winds but by next week there will be a few of you
6:16 am
staring into the eye of temperatures over around 30 degrees. it is set to get much, much hotter day by day. the cool air we have at the moment will be pushed off into the near continent. an area of high pressure building and with the ground dry and blue skies overhead, the airjust gently circulates around it and things gently warm up. if you are about to head in your morning commute, a bit chilly to start your friday but the sun is already making work of those temperatures. a bit more cloud across northern scotland this morning. patchy rain and drizzle in the far north, more than likely over orkney and shetland. through much of southern scotland, england and wales, it is a blue sky day and with winds a little bit lighter than yesterday, most notably the further south and west you are, it is going to feel a bit warmer. temperatures climbing up a degree or two on what they were yesterday afternoon, probably 20 to celsius in the south—east corner. as we go through the night, wants we have
6:17 am
lost a son, temperatures will drop away quite markedly —— lost the sun. more thick cloud and patchy drizzle returning to the hebrides, orkney and shetland later on. another cool night away from towns and cities, temperatures widely down in the mid— single figures once more. into the weekend, this high pressure will be with us for notjust weekend, this high pressure will be with us for not just this weekend, this high pressure will be with us for notjust this weekend but all the way in the next week. around the top of it we may see a few weather fronts on saturday click northern scotland again, with the chance of some rain at times. most places will be dry. further south some sunny places will be dry. further south some sunny spells and maybe high cloud around on saturday. the sunshine will be a tad hazy but with winds lighter than today, temperatures will continue to climb across parts of england and wales. many places getting into the low 20s. and by sunday, with blue skies almost uk wide, a tiny bit of cloud across shetland, it will be a hot and sunny day. through the next few
6:18 am
days, don't forget we are at that time of year where the sun is directly overhead. pollen levels will be high, and temperatures in the low 20s. the outlook, whether you are in scotland, england or wales, we will see temperatures in the low to mid 20s. as i said, one 01’ the low to mid 20s. as i said, one or two spots, especially across western parts of england and east wales could get to 30 degrees. it will turn out to be a return of summer. will turn out to be a return of summer. thank you so much. it looks glorious. he was right, saying it was lovely. and just in time for the weekend. let's look at the front pages. sunrise or sunset sunrise 01’ sunset over sunrise or sunset over the city of london yesterday. it is a great vista. the longest day of the year. that means the nights are drawing in. you had to do it, didn't you? you started it, saying it was the longest day. it was, of course,

6:20 am
this nightmare happened before the world cup? potentially some pubs could run dry of beer, and it is also used for all sorts of things like keeping salad fresh, it basically gets rid of packaging and keeps it fresh for longer. —— gets rid ofairout keeps it fresh for longer. —— gets rid of air out of the packaging. but it isa rid of air out of the packaging. but it is a very complicated process. we will have to get one of those melania trump jackets, i will have to get one of those melania trumpjackets, i really don't care! brexit dominating in different forms today. on the mail front page, sajid javid talking about what happens to eu citizens, and so many different things to talk about on the programme. the former love island start has died, ex— miss
6:21 am
great britain, found that her pa re nts' great britain, found that her parents' home near newcastle, and it has brought up a lot of issues about her experiences online. she had tweeted about feeling depressed and been vocal about being trolled online as well. many people questioning what has been happening there. very sad news. i guess it is world cup all the way on the back pages. yes, and there is a new expression, if you are feeling frustrated and you can't believe what you are seeing, do a maradona. hejust what you are seeing, do a maradona. he just couldn't believe the fact that argentina were being humbled. it is hard to explain why lionel messi and coat did so badly. -- ceo he is not part of the management team, or anything like that? no, just a frustrated fan. and they couldn't understand, lionel messi
6:22 am
has had a good season and scored 50 goals, and away for your first world cup, trent alexander arnold, and of course his mum and his family are out there and his mum keeps texting saying don't forget to put your sunscreen on. which is quite nice. he says he likes that. and it is one of the important things in the world cup. if it is cold, where a vest. eat your greens. i am sure they are looked after diet wise. and andy tate lives in county durham, and he has a nissan micra which used to be driveable, and he has drilled a hole in the roof. he has filled it with water, he has realfish swimming in it, and that car has plenty in the tank. we need everyone's fish puns.
6:23 am
you are good, aren't you? no, it is rubbish. today marks 70 years since the empire windrush sailed into britain, along with hundreds of caribbean migrants who had spent more than a month travelling across the atlantic in search of a new life. the anniversary follows the recent windrush scandal, which saw citizens wrongly targeted over their residency status, with fears many may have already been deported. nick davis has been to kingston, injamaica, to speak to some of those affected. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans. many ex— servicemen who know england. 70 yea rs servicemen who know england. 70 years ago people left from across the caribbean to help rebuild written, what they called the mother country. the uk needed workers after the war, and when the empire windrush docked here injamaica, hundreds of people took up the call. passenger opportunity, the united
6:24 am
kingdom. at the national library, ken morgan is looking back on an event that shaped his future. he came up to the uk in the late 1950s asa came up to the uk in the late 1950s as a nine—year—old on a british passport. after living in london for decades, he attended a funeral in jamaica and was allowed back after his uk passport was confiscated by british consular officials. that was 25 years ago. siam at the high commission, and i said, well, i need to have my passport, i need to travel. i missed my flight, and how does it work as mac i had a return ticket, now how do i get home? he looked at me and he said, mr morgan, that was never a proper british passport. the changes in home office rules m ea nt passport. the changes in home office rules meant that the number of people had already been deported wrongly, or had been left stranded in the caribbean, four years. the jamaican government is helping its uk counterpart by tracking down
6:25 am
cases. some people have said they don't want any money, it is not about money for them. some people have just not responded, and then there is also the fact of reaching them in ruraljamaica, and the sensitivity that is attached to the inability to return. this former jockey was deported in the 70s, and never saw his mother again. but, despite the racing community becoming his family, he says no money could make up for what he has lost. no price can be put on my mother and my relationship, it no? at right now i will leave that to the relevant authorities. to see what they think is justifiable for the wrong is that they have done. for the windrush generation, it is about a principle. that passport represents something for all the caribbean people who have sacrificed over the years, and i am not so keen
6:26 am
on giving it up. here at kingston harbour, there is not much of it remains of the original piers where those early pioneers would have ordered, but for the windrush generation, the actions of a british government then and now are still creating waves. and that is another stunning sunset, isn't it? they would have a few of those. i think so. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. firefighters are expected to start giving evidence in the grenfell inquiry today. a timeline of the first hour of the blaze revealed that fire crews outside were forced to delay directing their hoses at the flat where it started, because colleagues were trying to tackle it from inside. yesterday, the inquiry was played the 999 call first alerting the emergency services.
6:27 am
£100,000 reward has been offered to help find the killer of a notorious conman from essex. john palmer, nicknamed ‘goldfinger,’ was once described as britain's richest criminal. he was shot dead in the garden of his home near brentwood three years ago. police have confirmed they are looking for a hitman. we all knowjohn palmer had a background, but actually, john palmer is dead, and it was a murder, and there is a contract killer out somewhere out loose who needs to be caught. charlton athletic has confirmed it is expecting a takeover of the club by a group of investors linked to the australian football consortium. in a statement, the league one club gave no indication of when the deal might be. it said lee bowyer will continue as caretaker manager until further notice. a foundation has been started in memory of a 21—year—old who the prime minster credited with helping her shake up the system and reform stop—and—search practices. 21—year—old alexander paul died of complications due to brain cancer lastjune.
6:28 am
he had dreamed of becoming the uk's first black prime minister. it is hoped the foundation will encourage others into politics. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the overground between sydenham and west croydon. the a13 is slow westbound between dagenham and barking. the usual delays there. in esher, the a3 southbound is slow between esher common and painshill following an collision. in westminster, victoria street is closed both ways for resurfacing work between the broadway and great smith street. lets have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it is a deceptively chilly start to the day for this time of year. some of our temperatures drop back to six celsius last night, but it will feel pleasa ntly warm celsius last night, but it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, with lighter winds and we saw yesterday. a beautiful day, all in all. here is the map. now, as you
6:29 am
can see, there is barely a cloud in the sky throughout the day. just a light northerly breeze and temperatures will be higher than we saw yesterday. 21 or 22 celsius, might even see the odd spot of 23. in london, just be aware that with the sun directly overhead the uv levels are very high and the pollen levels are very high and the pollen levels are very high and the pollen levels are also very high as well. so there will be lots of late sunshine around this evening and then overnight tonight we are keeping those clear skies. once more i think temperatures were widely drop back into single figures. so quite a cool start to the day again tomorrow but over the weekend those temperatures are set to rise further. in the mid—20s this time. again, plenty more sunshine to come. not too much in the way of cloud, and as we head into next week, those temperatures will start to jump up into the high 20s in celsius. in fa ct, into the high 20s in celsius. in fact, adding some places will get very close to 30 degrees. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.
6:30 am
plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it is back tojon and naga. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. 70 years ago today the windrush arrived in britain from the caribbean. for the hundreds of people on board, it held the promise of a new life. but as recent controversy shows, it wasn't that simple. one man tells us about his struggles to be recognised as british. an 80—day celebration of the north. steph is live on the banks of the river tyne as newcastle gateshead gears up for the great exhibition of the north, showcasing the best in art, design and innovation. it's one of the most popular shows on tv at the moment. with allegations of emotional abuse on love island, we ask whether the controversy could end up having a positive impact for other victims. good morning. here's a summary of today's main
6:31 am
stories from bbc news. aerospace firm airbus has threatened to pull out of the uk if the government can't agree a brexit deal with the eu. the company which employs over 14,000 people across 25 sites in the uk, says a "no—deal" situation would cost the company billions, forcing it to reconsider its uk investments. the us first lady, melania trump, paid an unexpected visit to a centre where some migrant children are being cared for, as the us immigration crisis continues. she asked what she could do to help reunite families quicker, but her choice ofjacket drew widespread criticism when she was spotted wearing a coat with the words "i don't really care, do u" emblazoned on the back. the president said it was her response to the "fake news" media. more needs to be done to listen to whistleblowers when they raise concerns about the nhs, in the wake of the suspicious deaths
6:32 am
of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. that's according to damejanet smith, who led the inquiry into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven't been implemented. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says he's confident that checks are now in place to ensure similar problems would be identified quickly. it seems to me in the nhs that they close ranks when somebody seeks to criticise them. people who raise complaints, they're not treated as well as they should be. the complaint system, the recommendations that i made in shipman, they've not been fully implemented. the eu has introduced higher import tariffs on a range of american products including jeans, bourbon, whiskey, and motorbikes. it's in response to president trump's decision to increase european steel and aluminium import costs to the us. the european commission said it will do whatever is necessary to safeguard its trade interests. chancellor philip hammond has
6:33 am
insisted the treasury is not "the enemy of brexit." in his annual speech in the city of london last night, mr hammond said he was focused on boosting prosperity by promoting ties with the eu after britain leaves. he also confirmed that taxes will have to go up to boost spending on the nhs. taxpayers will have to contribute a bit more in a fair and balanced way to support the nhs that we all use while delivering on our fiscal commitments. the church of england is making last minute efforts to engage with survivors of sexual abuse, just weeks before the publication of what is expected to be a highly critical report. an examination of evidence by bbc local radio shows that serious allegations of abuse went unrecorded after cases involving dead and retired clergy were left out of a review in 2010. a spokesperson for the anglican church said recent criticisms "have been taken very seriously
6:34 am
and acted upon." american tv network, abc, has ordered a spinoff to the comedy series, roseanne, without the involvement of its creator and namesake, roseanne barr. the sit—com was cancelled last month after ms barr posted a racist tweet. the show had recently returned after a 20—year break. the original writers, producers and cast members are all involved in the new show, which will be called "the conners." mike is here with the sport. more world cup shocks! all the south american teams so far have been struggling. we have yet to see one win. brazil could change that. lionel messi, we thought he could be a star of the tournament. just a
6:35 am
pale shadow. people are shocked. perhaps he is tied. —— tired. and in the world cup, argentina could be heading for a shock early exit after suffering a three—nil defeat to croatia last night. theirfirst goal coming after a truly awful error from the goalkeeper. the former spurs midfielder, luca modric, added a brilliant second before ivan rakitic slotted in a third. that result put croatia through to the knockout, but absolute despair for the argentina fans as you can see. theirfate no longer entirely in their hands, iceland will play nigeria later today and if they win that game it will be an uphill struggle for lionel messi's side. there was better news for france, though, who join russia, uruguay and now croatia in the last 16. they were far from their best, but a goalfrom kylian mbappe was enough to seal a 1—0 win over peru to put them through. whilst a second defeat for the south american side means they can no longer progress.
6:36 am
elsewhere in group c, there was another big moment for var yesterday. thanks to the video assistant referee australia, who were 1—0 down to denmark at the time, were awarded a penalty for this handball in the box by denmark's yuusuf poulsen. miles jedinak converted to keep australia's hopes of progressing alive. in the england camp, they're getting ready to play panama on sunday. but could we already have an idea as to who will be in the starting line—up. this is the teamsheet that gareth southgate's assistant steve holland was holding yesterday. if that's to be believed it looks as though delle alli is not in contention following the injury he sustained against tunisia, it seems to say he and sterling will be out with loftus cheek and rashford coming in. there have been some positive signs for tottenham's dele alli, though. the fa tweeted this video of him out running with the team physio yesterday.
6:37 am
hopefully a sign hat he could make a return soon. either way, england's trent alexander—arnold says the players aren't going to be swayed by the "so—called" leak. we haven't been directly told of who is starting and who is not. the positions are still up for grabs, really. it does not matter what came out, what is leaked. it means nothing until it comes out of the manager's mouth. 0f of the first time we have seen these lea ks. of the first time we have seen these leaks. —— not be. another one day international, another victory over for australia for england's cricketers. after winning at chester—le—street yesterday they're now four—nil up in the series. no repeat of the world record score they managed in the last match in nottingham butjason roy hit a century as they chased down australia's total with six wickets in hand.
6:38 am
kyle edmund is out of this years queens, after losing his second round match against nick krygios. the australian, who beat andy murray a couple of days ago, won the first set on a tie break and despite edmund coming back to take the second, krygios held on to win in three. joint favourite, stradivarius, has won this years gold cup at royal ascot. the 7—4 shot ridden by frankie dettori and trained byjohn gosden was pushed all the way in the closing stages but held on to give dettori his 6th gold cup win and a 60th at royal ascot. it's the dance craze that's ta ken youtube, the school playgrounds and now even the tennis courts by storm, the floss! we'll be putting tennis stars to the test in the run up to wimbledon to see how fast they can floss, but first i had to learn how to do it myself. how is this related to tennis was
6:39 am
6:40 am
the uk. and so it was a case of wimbledon meets strictly as a professional dancer picked up a tennis racquet for the first time before teaching some tennis youngsters how to floss. of course, most of them knew how to do it already. they had been learning it on the school playground. the faster you go, they call it looks, and be harder to keep a straight face. you go, they call it looks, and be harder to keep a straight facelj find that it is very good exercise. i saw everyone in my school doing it andl i saw everyone in my school doing it and i was like what is this? they said it was the floss. the floss was started by a 14—year—old boy in america two years ago, russell, the backpack kid. his dance moves have

become an internet sensation. i was not the only parent finding it really challenging. it seems the floss has exposed a generation gap. they are like i am doing it. they are not. they come to school to collect you and see everyone doing it it and theyjust hate it. we are looking at tennis players trying to do it isi looking at tennis players trying to do it is i would love to see them incorporate their tennis skills in it. it is about skill and timing and speed. if they can do that, keep the face, bring out their personalities, thatis face, bring out their personalities, that is something i would definitely be looking into. the great thing about it is that the person who invented it says he could not dance. hejust did it invented it says he could not dance. he just did it to make everyone laugh, a comedic little move. it does not matter if you can do it or not. you end up in hysterics as i am demonstrating. one, two, three. one,
6:42 am
two, three. faster, faster. yeah! or it! the other thing you have to do is keep a straight face. he said you have to do it with a deadpan expression. i did not realise where it came from. he was making people giggle, which he has done. explain how the challenge will work. this is the trophy. we started at queen's. thanks to them. how do you decide how fast they go? yeah. it is, be judged by her. from strictly.“ needs to be absolutely accurate. very serious business. you may see it at the world cup. i think it will
6:43 am
be very competitive, even if it is a ridiculous challenge. do you remember last year? the mug that andy murray took. are they happy to do this? it will be a challenge. it does not come naturally, does it? they could make a full themselves. you can see the contact address so you can get in touch this morning if you can get in touch this morning if you have been teaching it to your pa rents. you have been teaching it to your parents. there is a generational difference. would love to see pictures of mothers and fathers trying to do this this morning.“ will make me feel better to see them struggle. do you know who really wa nts to struggle. do you know who really wants to do that? he was begging us
6:44 am
foran wants to do that? he was begging us for an opportunity. it is matt! he is itching tojoin in. for an opportunity. it is matt! he is itching to join in. he has kids as well. you already look like you are in position. and the deadpan expression. is that it?|j are in position. and the deadpan expression. is that it? i get it. the problem is it is all reversed in my camera so the problem is it is all reversed in my camera so i cannot tell if i am doing it properly. there you go. that is quite good. anyway. shall be do the weather? you are currently top of the leaderboard. there is a huge tennis ball trophy coming your way. good morning. a lovely day for many of you. it will get more sunny and more warm in coming days. we saw temperatures peak yesterday at 21. a
6:45 am
drop compared to usual. next week, 30. quitea drop compared to usual. next week, 30. quite a few spots get into that temperature. hotter weather on the way whether you love it or loathe it. these are the conditions. make the most of it. it. this is going to europe. the wind is circulating. blue. dry ground. that process heat things up. quite chilly last night. blue skies overhead. temperatures on the rise. the exception, northern scotland. cloudy. the far north, the mainland. patchy rain and drizzle. dry and bright into this afternoon. not as pretty as yesterday. elsewhere, light winds. temperatures are upa elsewhere, light winds. temperatures are up a degree on what we saw yesterday. 22, perhaps auditory, in
6:46 am
the far south. —— 23. overnight, another chilly night. clear skies in the north of scotland. the odd spot of drizzle. temperatures in double. the countryside, single figures to start the weekend. high pressure right across the uk. closing in towards us. look at the top edge. weather fronts to begin the weekend in the far north of scotland. rain and drizzle. bright moment expected. elsewhere, high cloud on saturday. sunshine is hazy for one or two of you. temperatures are creeping up a little day by day. by this stage, temperatures in the low 20s in england and wales. after a clear night, sunday, sunny in northern
6:47 am
scotland. sunshine directly overhead. the sun is especially strong. have your sunscreen ready. pollen levels will be high as well. temperatures, the 20s by sunday. is to look all the way through next week, scotland, northern ireland, wales, england, a dry and sunny week, and increasingly hot, with temperatures into the mid—20s in most parts of the country, perhaps low 30s for one or two as well. to whether you might want a long, cool to whether you might want a long, cool, fizzy drink in. maybe some chicken on the barbecue —— it is the kind of whether you might want. you good morning, everybody. that is like a!i good morning, everybody. that is like a! i can't believe that ——
6:48 am
lager. you can't drink that in the morning. a shortage of carbon dioxide is putting increasing pressure on food and drink manufacturers. 0f of all the things to put here, i did not expect lager. what did you expect? yeasty brew? there is a shortage of co2, and you might think of this is a niche industry, but as soon as you look into it you realise where it is used. co2 is probably most associated with the fizz in fizzy drinks and beers like these, but it is used across the food and drink industry, and a surprise shortage has caught out many of them. iam i am confused about the salad. you know when you open a salad and there isa know when you open a salad and there is a slight smell or an escape of gas? it has been used to get rid of all the air in the bag. having the air in the bag makes it go off more
6:49 am
quickly. getting rid of oxygen in the bag. yes, and it means it stays fresher for longer. the fact there isa fresher for longer. the fact there is a shortage of it means that all of these things are potentially affected, and it could mean that for your fizzy drinks and pints of beer, and things like salad. it is interesting, when you have a look at the numbers, we import about a third from overseas. it is amazing we have to import this stuff. it is a byproduct of ammonia, and we import a lot of it from overseas. plans don't need as much fertiliser with the longer summer, and it is used to some cattle and chickens before they are slaughtered, so it means they ta ke are slaughtered, so it means they take the oxygen out and then they are slaughtered after they have been hit with c02. it means there are also issues at poultry plants, and potentially shortages of chickens.
6:50 am
at beer makers are feeling at most keenly, and heineken has been affected. they had have said the customers don't order to much. we spoke to the food and drink association and they said there is no need to worry quite yet. we have got some issues, but don't stop going to the pub. be a bit understanding, we are coping with it, and we hope that working with these companies we can get the supply of co2 so vital to the brewing industry back on stream as quickly as possible. so ben, why do we have a shortage of carbon dioxide? several reasons, but as i touched on, ammonia coming from fertiliser, and traditionally in the summer, crops are already established and fertiliser plants have a break. it
6:51 am
coincides with peter mann for things like beer and fizzy drinks. given things like world cup —— peak demand. and there is no incentive for these manufacturers to start pumping out more because there is so much of it in terms of price that the price has fallen. and the price will rocket now, would it? the problem is it is a very british issue because we are importing a third from overseas, and a lot of people suggesting it will really show how vulnerable we are as a country to things we import and this could be one of the issues, that a shortage of co2 has such a big effect. are you talking about this ain? effect. are you talking about this again? yes, we will look into it. can you look into why it it is environmentally safe, why co2 is good and oxygen is bad, and more about its use in animal husbandry. you learn so much! you are taking notes during it. the great exhibition of the north,
6:52 am
an 80—day—long celebration of northern art, design and innovation, starts today. millions of people are expected to visit the north—east between now and september. steph has taken the sofa to newcastle to find out what it is all about. and a fantastic start to it, with that weather. yes, what the day it is here. it looks gorgeous. you can see the famous ridge that lots of people in the great north run will run across, all on the quayside here between newcastle and gateshead. if we move between newcastle and gateshead. if we m ove a cross between newcastle and gateshead. if we move across you will see the baltic, the old mill which is now big arts gallery, and the famous millennium bridge. the reason why we are here is the launch of the great exhibition of the north, so it sta rts exhibition of the north, so it starts at 80 days of cultural, design and innovation events going on. we have brought the sofa. i have
6:53 am
my own tardis, but i am inside that lack box, as you can see, and ijust wa nted lack box, as you can see, and ijust wanted to prove the fact that this view is real and we are genuinely in newcastle. we haven't had it onto the windows and i have two guest to talk about everything going on. sarah is from the newcastle gateshead initiative, keith is a development consultant. so sarah, this is your baby, the great exhibition of the north. tell us what will be happening. as you said, today's the first of 80 days of a celebration of northern art, design and innovation. we have an opening ceremony tonight, all the galleries open atipm ceremony tonight, all the galleries open at 1pm today, but then there is a ceremony tonight. we will have activities, events and real fun in newcastle gateshead. but fun with a really important message, which is all the great things happening in art, design and innovation across the north. give us some examples of the north. give us some examples of the activities, because there is a
6:54 am
lot going on and it is quite hard to know exactly what people can do. there are 30 different venues in newcastle and gateshead are hosting an element of the exhibition. you have some of the real important facets happening all over. so there is an art trail, a design trail, and an innovation trail. you can start at the great north museum, where an amazing exhibition will open today, which is which way north. some incredible contemporary northern artists have displays on at the ce ntre artists have displays on at the centre for contemporary art, and lots more in between. so it will clearly have an impact. a lot of money has been spent on this, something like £13.5 million. what will the longer legacy be of this? that is what some people are sceptical of. this area has had a tough time, will it make any difference to that? the macworld, first off we will have a fantastic summer first off we will have a fantastic summer that lots of people can
6:55 am
enjoy, from outside the region and further afield as well. we then have the very short—term economic impact of all the visitors who will come and spend money in shops and hotels. we have estimated that is being £184 million in terms of short—term economic impact. the longer term impact is that in one respect it is raising pride, and people recognising the things happening in the north, and also people recognising this is a fantastic place to come and live, work and invest. that is what we are seeing is being the longer term impact of this. and keith, you do a lot of work on the longer term impact. do you agree with sarah? well, firstly, it will i am sure be a fantastic 80 days. we need to be a bit cautious about the economic impact, and some of the numbers are a little bit overblown, the notion that there will be 3 million people here is a
6:56 am
very ambitious target, and that 20% of those will be overnight stays, 7500 people extra staying locally every night for 80 nights. turn that around, i would suggest ordinarily there are 7500 spare beds in tyneside every week, which i don't think is the case. we need to be a bit careful but having said that, the cultural sector in particular is a big deal on tyneside. the ten big organisations supporting in gross terms a couple of thousand jobs, which are very significant, and they generate tens of millions of pounds of economic value every year. that really is the key. this cannot just be about 80 days. it has to be about what comes after, what is in place to support those cultural venues thereafter. what is the strategy going forward, notjust thereafter. what is the strategy going forward, not just for tyneside, but the whole of the great north. what is the action and resources that can be put in place? the government money which has gone into this, at £5 million, is chicken
6:57 am
feed. the whole area needs more than that if it is going to build on these 80 days. this is all stuff we will put to the culture secretary of the bit later. thank you for your time this morning. i know it has been a lot of prep for this, and what a gorgeous day to have it on. we will be talking to matt hancock later on and various other people who will be involved in this celebration here. thank you very much. i knew i would forget the last bit, bbc arts. you can watch everything across the bbc arts website. i can keep myjob, that was the one thing i had to get in. sorry, it is too late. we just got an e—mail from the director—general saying if you didn't get it right at the beginning, that's it. ab you won't be back. but she will, because the sun is shining, and it looks great —— may be you won't be back. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc
6:58 am
london news, i'm tolu adeoye. firefighters are expected to start giving evidence in the grenfell inquiry today. yesterday the inquiry was played the 999 call first alerting the emergency services to the blaze. a timeline of the first hour has revealed crews outside were forced to delay directing their hoses at the flat where it started, because colleagues were trying to tackle the fire from the inside. a £100,000 reward has been offered to help find the killer of a notorious conman from essex. john palmer, nicknamed goldfinger, was once described as britain's richest criminal. he was shot dead in his garden three years ago. police have confirmed they are looking for a hitman. we all knowjohn palmer had a background, but actually, john palmer is dead, and it was a murder. and there is a contract killer out somewhere, out loose, who needs to be caught. charlton athletic has confirmed it is expecting a takeover of the club by a group of investors linked to the australian football consortium.
6:59 am
in a statement, the club gave no indication of when the deal might be. it said lee bowyer will continue as caretaker manager until further notice. a foundation has been started in memory of a 21—year—old who the prime minster credited with helping her shake up the system and reform stop—and—search practices. alexander paul died of complications due to brain cancer lastjune. he had dreamed of becoming the uk's first black prime minister. it is hoped the foundation will encourage young people to express their emotions through different creative activities. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the northern line is part—suspended between camden town and kennington southbound, due to a customer incident. northbound trains are not calling at charing cross. southern has delays of up to 15 minutes between west croydon and sutton. and there are cancellations on both great northern and thameslink because of the timetable changes. turning to the roads, on the camera there, the a13 is slow westbound between dagenham and barking. the usual delays there. let's have a check on the weather
7:00 am
now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a deceptively chilly start to the day for this time of year. some of our temperatures dropped back to six degrees celsius last night, but it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, with lighter winds and we saw yesterday. a beautiful day, all in all. here is the map. now, as you can see, there's barely a cloud in the sky throughout the day. just a light northerly breeze, and temperatures will be higher than we saw yesterday — 21 or 22 celsius, might even see the odd spot at 23 towards central london. in london, just be aware that with the sun directly overhead the uv levels are very high, and the pollen levels are also very high, too. so there will be lots of late sunshine around this evening, and then overnight tonight, we're keeping those clear skies. once more, i think temperatures will likely drop back into single figures. so quite a cool start to the day again tomorrow, but over the weekend those temperatures are set to rise further, into the mid—20s this time.
7:01 am
again, plenty more sunshine to come. not too much in the way of cloud, and as we head into next week, those temperatures will start tojump up into the high 20s in celsius. in fact, i think some places will get very close to 30 degrees. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it is back tojon and naga. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. thousands ofjobs could be at risk as the company airbus warns it may pull out of the uk if there is a "no deal" brexit. the aerospace firm employs 14,000 people across the country. a senior executive says it's a dawning reality. with 25 sites across the uk the firm has now warned it could move production to china. good morning. it's friday the 22nd ofjune.
7:02 am
also this morning: president trump's immigration policy causes delays and protests in congress. but it's his wife's coat with "i really don't care" on the back that causes controversy. 70 years after the first caribbean migrants arrived on the empire windrush to help rebuild britain. a thanksgiving service will be held later today. good morning. newcastle is gearing up good morning. newcastle is gearing upfor good morning. newcastle is gearing up for the launch of the great exhibition of the north celebrating all things innovation and design. i will have more details later rod and the show. —— later on in the show. in sport, argentina are in a mess. as messi is upstaged by modrich of croatia who thrash the south americans 3—0 to leave them in danger of going out with the hand of god wiping away the tears. and it's the dance craze that's had everyone swinging their arms and hips, find out why i've been having a go at the floss.
7:03 am
and matt has the weather. a bit of a fresh start. things will warm up, not just today, but fresh start. things will warm up, notjust today, but over coming days. next week? i will tell you about that in 15 minutes. thank you. good morning. first our main story. airbus has warned it could leave the uk in the event of a "no—deal brexit." the aerospace company currently employs more than 14,000 people across 25 sites in the uk. ben is here with more. ben, what's going on? the impact would be huge. they say they told the prime minister about it three weeks ago and she is laying out the case for them not doing it. they are worried about the customs union causing delays in terms of importing parts, safety certifications, and things like that. what is important about this?
7:04 am
14,000 jobs. 25 different factories in the uk. 25,000 jobs. all of the firms supplying them across the country. it generates £1.7 billion in tax revenue. a big loss to the treasury if they went overseas. many people have pointed out they may move to china. china is not in the european union. what is important is it is the second—largest trading partner the eu with a very established trade link between them. there are precedents for them trading together. by no means is this a done deal. it is a warning from the boss. they have said this is not project fear. they call it a daunting reality. they need contingency plans. they have talked
7:05 am
about stockpiling parts. they have talked about delay that customs. —— delays at customs. they are building up delays at customs. they are building u p reserves delays at customs. they are building up reserves as a contingency so they can continue manufacturing. longer term implications rely on clarity and answers. 14,000 jobs across the uk are potentially at risk. first lady, melania trump, spoke out on immigration when visiting a child detention centre in the us yesterday. it was the coat she wore which made headlines. the words "i really don't care. do u" were written on the back of it, prompting questions about the message she was trying to convey. meanwhile, in congress, tougher laws on immigration have been delayed amid protests. here's more from our north america correspondent, chris buckler, reports. the first lady knows that in recent weeks,
7:06 am
many families arriving at america's border have faced a very different sort of welcome. this is one of the centres where migrant children are being cared for having been separated from their parents. and this visit was a sign of the concern of melania trump of what is happening under the flag of the us and the orders of her husband's administration. i am here to learn about the facility. i would like to ask you how i can help to reunite these children with theirfamilies as quickly as possible. president trump reversed his policy after outrage at the images of children being held in cages and the stories of distress caused by families being split apart. there is still confusion over how
7:07 am
and when those separated will be reunited. although melania trump travelled to texas to show sympathy, there were mixed messages and controversy because of the coat she wore. it was emblazoned with the phrase "i really don't care, do u?" donald trump said this about it. but it's certainly true washington is struggling to find solutions to america's immigration problems. as protestors staged a demonstration in the halls of congress, a proposal for a vote on legislation was delayed until next week, but there is no way of stopping the flow of families seeking shelter here. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. we'll bejoined by us immigration lawyer, christi jackson, here in the studio at 7:10. more needs to be done to listen to whistleblowers when they raise concerns about the nhs, in the wake of the suspicious deaths of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. that's according to damejanet smith, who led the inquiry
7:08 am
into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven't been implemented. simonjones reports. the faces of some of the hundreds of patients who died prematurely at gosport war memorial hospital, after doctors gave them dangerous amounts of painkillers. an enquiry published this week confirmed that families and whistleblowers were ignored when they attempted to raise concerns about the administration of medication on the wards. the fears of nursing staff, first voiced nearly 30 years ago, were silenced by management — there was disregard for human life. it's worrying for the former high courtjudge who more than a decade ago led an enquiry into an other nhs scandal, serial killer dr harold shipman. he is thought to have killed 250 of his patients.
7:09 am
although she says the cases were different — it is known that he murdered his patients — she said one similarity was the need to listen to whistleblowers. this is to be a culture in the nhs that they close ranks when somebody things to criticise them. people who raise complaints, they're not treated as well as they should be. the complaints system — the recommendations that i made in shipman have not been fully incremented. the health and social care secretary, jeremy hunt, has admitted it can still be difficult for whistleblowers to raise concerns, but he says he is confident that checks are now in place so that similar problems would be identified quickly. simon jones, bbc news. the probation system in england and wales is said to be in a "mess" according to a committee of mps. thejustice select committee is urging the government to overhaul the way offenders are supervised in the community, after a report found reforms introduced four years ago, when the service was partially privatised, failed to work. we do think there has to be a very
7:10 am
urgent and full review of all of this. putting more money in one big here and another bid there is not going to solve it. we have serious doubts as to whether this system can really ever be made for purpose? chancellor philip hammond has insisted the treasury is not "the enemy of brexit." in his annual speech in the city of london last night, mr hammond said he was focused on boosting prosperity by promoting ties with the eu after britain leaves. he also confirmed that taxes will have to go up to boost spending on the nhs. the church of england is making last minute efforts to engage with survivors of sexual abuse, just weeks before the publication of what is expected to be a highly critical report. an examination of evidence by bbc local radio shows that serious allegations of abuse went unrecorded after cases involving dead and retired clergy were left out of a review in 2010. a spokesperson for the anglican church said recent criticisms "have been taken very seriously and acted upon". events will take place across the uk
7:11 am
today to mark 70 years since the empire windrush sailed in to britain along with hundreds of caribbean migrants in search of a new life. the anniversary comes as many continue to wait for clarification over their right to remain following the windrush scandal. the home office says it is committed to ensuring all those affected are given the assistance they require, but for some who were refused re—entry to the uk, it's come too late. "when would you like to come back?" how can you come back? you don't give someone permission. something like that. i mean, 40 years ago i... i even knew people, maybe they are all dead now. where am i going to find them? people all over the world have been marking international yoga day. the event which is recognised by the united nations began in 2014 with the aim of fostering
7:12 am
peace and understanding, with millions meditating on different continents. people were found posing across the globe, in new york city, a moment of calm transcedence in times square replaced the usual hustle and bustle and honking of yellow cab horns. in rio dejaneiro, at the foot of christ the redeemer, they meditated for peace. and in the magical kingdom, who else but goofy was found to be doing the downward dog! i will have a quick stretch. it's still unclear what will happen to the hundreds of migrant children separated from their parents after president trump said he'd ordered government agencies to reunite families. it comes after first lady melania trump caused controversy on a surprise visit to a centre where some of the children are being looked, wearing a coat emblazoned with the words "i don't really care. do u?" joining us now is us immigration lawyer, christi jackson. thank you for coming in. what an extraordinary week it has been on the border, and then the politics.
7:13 am
what do you make of it? especially with the president taking a u—turn. most of the terms we have seen are riddled with holes. it has problems. it says it wants to reunite the families, but it does not address the fact there is already legal policy and precedent. they cannot keep children for more than 20 days. a problem there. there is vague language and the executive order to be it is interesting, and what we will see in the press, is customs and border protection officials, which men the borders, they are saying they are stopping this policy implemented by the administration to zero tolerance. the idea you have to
7:14 am
arrest anyone entering the country. . that is what caused the problem. trump administration put in the zero tolerance policy in april. he was elected on a manifesto of tackling immigration and millions of americans voted for him to do exactly that. he would say he is doing what the public wanted. exactly that. he would say he is doing what the public wantedlj think that is the rhetoric, that is what he wants us to think. i think it is pretty telling, they were two bills coming at last night in congress, and one of them, which was a very conservative bill, didn't pass, and it didn't have the support of even all of the republicans. 41 republicans voted against it. so i think it says that, while immigration is an important focus, andi immigration is an important focus, and i do think that the conservatives in the us want something to be done, they don't wa nt something to be done, they don't want it to be done at the expense of
7:15 am
children and human rights, you know, just asic civil liberties. ok, so what now, today? because there are families which have been divided and very distressed children, and that is what we mustn't forget, and that is what we mustn't forget, and that is what we mustn't forget, and that is what no one is forgetting in the united states, and trumpets feeling that pressure. one of the problems is this executive order which came out and purportedly solve the problem didn't address what to do with the over 2000 children who have been separated. some of their pa rents been separated. some of their parents have already been deported. the children are here in the us, and their parents are back in their home countries, because they were deported. there is no plan. i don't know that they know what their plan is. they insist there is a plan, and that has to be a priority, reuniting these kids, and i think what a lot of people are failing to see is the
7:16 am
fa ct of people are failing to see is the fact that the reason these people have been arrested for illegally entering the us is because they turned up at a border, said they wa nted turned up at a border, said they wanted to seek asylum, which is their right under federal and international law, and they were told not to date, over and over. didn't they say also that families who have been divided, they are not going to retrospectively look back at those and try and fix that? well, they have to somehow get them back together. they can't indefinitely separate parents from their children. so i think they do have... they say they have a plan, but nobody has said what that is. i think they intend to reunite the children, but... how effective do you think melania trump's involvement in this has been? well, it is interesting the story came out about this coat, but who knows what the message was. so this was a coach
7:17 am
you wore , the message was. so this was a coach you wore, a greenjacket, and on the backin you wore, a greenjacket, and on the back in big letters it says i don't care, do you? you can only hope that neither she nor her stylists are so unaware of what is going on... that couldn't have been an accident. so the question is... you believe that? i don't believe it was an accident, but i don't believe it was directed at the crisis at the border, but maybe to her husband. she was going ona maybe to her husband. she was going on a visit to the border, supposedly as someone on a visit to the border, supposedly as someone who appreciated the situation she was in. you would have thought she would wear something with bright colours and kid friendly attributes. it was really disappointing. what is interesting is the white house initially said it didn't mean anything, it was just a piece of clothing, and then donald trump said it was a message to the fa ke trump said it was a message to the fake mainstream media. trump said it was a message to the fake mainstream medial trump said it was a message to the fake mainstream media. i don't understand why that message has
7:18 am
anything to do with the fake media. i think they have gotten their story straight. i wouldn't be surprised if she intended to wear that are directed it to him. jacket off, interestingly, in those pictures there. and also it was over 80 fahrenheit in dc, and 95 and south texas. there was no reason for that coat. who would have thought in the politics over the american border that we would be focusing on a jacket. but when the message is that big, in that situation becomes part of the story. you will not need a coat for the next few days, i don't think. not quite, you might this morning, first thing, until the sun really gets to work. temperatures across parts of wales down to one celsius this morning. the height of summer, you could say. while temperatures yesterday reached 21 degrees, lower than they have been in recent days,
7:19 am
in the days ahead they will climb and climb and client. next week we could be seeing places get above 30 degrees. a lot of dry weather to come. if you are off next week, you will be very pleased. the cool air pushes off into northern europe. the air is going to circulate around the uk, warming up day by day. the ground so dry we will see temperatures upto 30 celsius. a bit chilly first thing but the sun is already up and temperatures already on the rise. a bit of cloud in northern ireland in north wales will break up and a lot more cloud in the northern half of scotland. it will threaten some rain and drizzle every now and then, especially orkney and shetland, brightening up a touch into the afternoon. some breaks in the cloud with sunny spells. not as strong a breeze as yesterday, lighter winds further south and even after a chilly start the temperatures rise a little bit more than yesterday, by around a degree or so. than yesterday, by around a degree or so. the 2223 in some southern
7:20 am
areas. generally the teams for many of you. with strong sunshine overhead will feel pleasantly warm. the cloud and parts of scotland will break up, but then returns towards the hebrides, orkney and shetland with some rain into tomorrow morning. staying clear through the night, and like last night, temperatures down into single figures away from the major towns and cities. as you go into the weekend, this is the high—pressure system which will be with us all the way into next week. just the weather system clipping the far north of scotland, and began the threat of rain here. the north of the mainland, orkney and shetland, not raining all the time, but some brighter moments possible. high cloud further south is the sunshine may be hazy at times, especially in the west. another sunny day for the vast majority. temperatures in the upper teens and more of you into the 20s across england and wales through the afternoon. after another fresh night to take it into sunday, a blue sky day for virtually all. an even
7:21 am
better day across northern scotland on sunday, with most places dry and sunny. by this stage, england, wales, scotland and northern ireland will be into the 20s. as we go into next week, the temperatures will climb further. the outlook for leeds, bridgend, typical of across the country. we will see dry weather dominate. lots of strong sunshine overhead and temperatures widely into the mid—20s, if not pushing the 30s. that is how it is looking. what is your temperature threshold for short? what the bridge does it need to be before you put your shorts on? about 19 for me, maybe 19. i was in them yesterday. our miserable director gareth this morning said no shorts, only abroad. oh gareth, come on. that is what we say a lot. i think 22. 22 for shorts. yes. ok. today marks 70 years since the empire windrush sailed into britain, along with the hundreds of caribbean
7:22 am
migrants who had spent more than a month travelling across the atlantic in search of a new life. the anniversary follows the recent windrush scandal, which saw citizens wrongly targeted over their residency status, with fears many may have already been deported. nick davis has been to kingston to speak to some of those affected. the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans, many ex—servicemen who know england. 70 years ago, people left from across the caribbean to help rebuild britain — what they called the mother country. the uk needed workers after the war, and when the empire windrush docked here in jamaica, hundreds of people took up the call. passenger opportunity — the united kingdom. at the national library, ken morgan is looking back on an event that shaped his future. he came up to the uk in the late 1950s as a nine—year—old on a british passport.
7:23 am
after living in london for decades, he attended a funeral injamaica, and wasn't allowed back after his uk passport was confiscated by british consular officials. that was 25 years ago. so i'm at the high commission, and i said, well, i need to have my passport. i need to travel. and i missed my flight, and how does it work? i had a return ticket, now how do i get home? he looked at me and he said, mr morgan, that was never a proper british passport. the changes in home office rules meant that a number of people had already been deported wrongly, or had been left stranded in the caribbean for years. the jamaican government is helping its uk counterpart by tracking down cases. some people have said they don't want any money, it's not about money for them. some people have just not responded. and then there's also the fact of reaching them in ruraljamaica, and the sensitivity that's attached to the inability to return. utell bailey, a formerjockey,
7:24 am
was deported in the ‘70s, and never saw his mother again. but, despite the racing community becoming his family, he says no money could make up for what he has lost. yeah, no price can be put on my mother's and my relationship, you know? but right now, i will leave that to the relevant authorities, to see what they think is justifiable for the wrongs that they have done. for the windrush generation, it is about a principle. that passport represents something for all the caribbean people who have sacrificed over the years, and i'm not so keen on giving it up. here at kingston harbour, there is not much of it that remains of the original piers where those early pioneers would have boarded.
7:25 am
but, for the windrush generation, the actions of the british government, then and now, are still creating waves. a stunning picture, that. we will be joined on the sofa by a gentleman who came over as a tiny baby, a few months old, and lives in bristol, and a member of the windrush generation, to see what the 70th anniversary means for him. coming up on breakfast: we will have more from steph, who has taken the sofa to the launch of the great northern exhibition. good morning. it really looks so beautiful behind you. it doesn't even look real. i know, it really doesn't, does it? it is real, a bin lorry has just gone past to prove that this is not a photo shopped view behind me. good morning from the quayside in newcastle, a wonderful view behind me and some
7:26 am
fantastic guests on the sofa. let me introduce you to them. we have arthur, andrew, adriana, and jake. now why are you here? you are part of the great exhibition of the north, you? we are here because we have been part of the great little inventors competition and we have all had our inventions made. and we have come up here for them. all had our inventions made. and we have come up here for themlj all had our inventions made. and we have come up here for them. i can't wait to see them. i will show them on tv in wait to see them. i will show them on tvina wait to see them. i will show them on tv in a bit. was it hard inventing something? it was very hard, but i'm very glad i managed to do it in the end. and you have done a cracking job, because they have made it. are you excited? you look damp excited. yes, very excited. we will find out about their inventions at the end. but first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are! good morning from bbc london news. firefighters are expected to start giving evidence
7:27 am
in the grenfell inquiry today. yesterday the inquiry was played cctv of residents fleeing the tower. a timeline of the first hour has revealed crews outside were forced to delay directing their hoses at the flat where it started, because colleagues were trying to tackle the fire from the inside. a £100,000 reward has been offered to help find the killer of a notorious conman from essex. john palmer, nicknamed ‘goldfinger,’ was once described as britain's richest criminal. he was shot dead in his garden three years ago. police have confirmed they are looking for a hitman. we all knowjohn palmer had a background, but actually, john palmer is dead, and it was a murder. and there is a contract killer out somewhere, out loose, who needs to be caught. charlton athletic has confirmed it is expecting a takeover of the club by a group of investors linked to the australian football consortium. in a statement, the club gave no indication of when the deal might be. it said lee bowyer will continue as caretaker manager until further notice.
7:28 am
a foundation has been started in memory of a 21—year—old who the prime minster credited with helping her shake up the system and reform stop—and—search practices. alexander paul died of complications due to brain cancer lastjune. it is hoped the foundation will encourage young people to express their emotions through different creative activities. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the northern line is part—suspended between camden town and kennington southbound. northbound trains are not calling at charing cross. southern has delays of up to 15 minutes between west croydon and sutton. turning to the roads, on the camera there, the blackwall tunnel is slow northbound. the m25 is slow—moving anticlockwise between junction 16 for the m40 and junction 15 for the m4. that's because of roadworks.
7:29 am
let's have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a deceptively chilly start to the day for this time of year. some of our temperatures dropped back to six degrees celsius last night, but it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, with lighter winds and we saw yesterday. a beautiful day, all in all. here's the map. now, as you can see, there's barely a cloud in the sky throughout the day. just a light northerly breeze, and temperatures will be higher than we saw yesterday — 21 or 22 degrees celsius, might even see the odd spot at 23 towards central london. in london, just be aware that with the sun directly overhead the uv levels are very high, and the pollen levels are also very high, too. so there will be lots of late sunshine around this evening, and then overnight tonight, we're keeping those clear skies. once more, i think temperatures will likely drop back into single figures. so quite a cool start to the day again tomorrow, but over the weekend those temperatures are set to rise further, into the mid—20s this time. again, plenty more sunshine to come. not too much in the way of cloud, and as we head into next week, those temperatures will start tojump up into the high 20s in celsius. in fact, i think some places will get very close to 30 degrees. i'm back with the latest from bbc
7:30 am
london in half an hour. now, though, it is back tojon and naga. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. aerospace firm airbus has threatened to pull out of the uk if the government can't agree a brexit deal with the eu. the company which employs more than 14,000 people across 25 sites in the uk, says a "no—deal" situation would cost the company billions, forcing it to reconsider its uk investments. the us first lady, melania trump, paid an unexpected visit to a centre where some migrant children are being cared for, as the us immigration crisis continues. she asked what she could do to help reunite families quicker, but her choice ofjacket drew widespread criticism when she was spotted wearing a coat
7:31 am
with the words "i really don't care. do u" emblazoned on the back. the president said it was her response to the "fake news" media. more needs to be done to listen to whistleblowers when they raise concerns about the nhs, in the wake of the suspicious deaths of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. that's according to damejanet smith, who led the inquiry into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven't been implemented. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says he's confident that checks are now in place to ensure similar problems would be identified quickly. the church of england is making last minute efforts to engage with survivors of sexual abuse, just weeks before the publication of what is expected to be a highly critical report. an examination of evidence by bbc local radio shows that serious allegations of abuse went unrecorded after cases involving dead and retired clergy were left out of a review in 2010. a spokesperson for the anglican church said recent criticisms "have been taken very seriously and acted upon." american tv network, abc,
7:32 am
has ordered a spinoff to the comedy series "roseanne," without the involvement of its creator and namesake, roseanne barr. the sit—com was cancelled last month after ms barr posted a racist tweet. the show had recently returned after a 20—year break. the original writers, producers and cast members are all involved in the new show, which will be called "the conners." matt will be here with the weather inafew matt will be here with the weather in a few minutes. it is looking good. better on the weekend with blue skies and sunshine. apparently 22 degrees is the threshold for shorts. i have friends who wear them
7:33 am
all summer long. 17 is mine. maradona told the coach after their first game, argentina, he said do not come back to argentina unless the team improves. who knows what he will say now. did he get a return ticket? did they get worse? did the competition improve? croatia were good, but argentina were worse. evita sang don't cry for me argentina, but there was a lot more than just tears after argentina's crushing defeat to croatia. their first goal came after a really messy bit of goalkeeping by argentina's number one. where was their talisman? being upstaged by former spurs midfielder, luca modric, who added a brilliant second before ivan rakitic slotted in a third. that result put croatia
7:34 am
through to the knockout phase, as maradona couldn't hide his despair. and there were plenty of tears, with the team's fate no longer entirely in their hands. iceland will play nigeria later today, and if they win that game, it will be an even bigger uphill struggle for lionel messi's side. and what about this for contrast? wild celebrations for croatia in zagreb. pundits said their team would do well. a good generation of players. look at those flares. most football fans chant their players name, but australia fans have a new song. var! why? well, thanks to the video assistant referee, australia, who were 1—0 down to denmark at the time, were awarded a penalty for this handball, in the box by denmark's yuusuf poulsen. milesjedinak, converted to keep australia's hopes of progressing alive, and the aussie's new song. var!
7:35 am
it is easier to say that than jedinak. very catchy. france have joined croatia, and uraguay, and russia, in the last 16. the french were a long way, from their best, but a goal from kylian m—bappey, was enough to seal a 1—0 win over peru to put them through. whilst a second defeat for the south american side means they can no longer progress. now you don't need a mole in the england camp to leak out the team for their second game on sunday. this is the teamsheet that gareth southgate's assistant, steve holland, was holding yesterday. if that's to be believed it looks as though delle alli is not in contention following the injury he sustained against tunisia,
7:36 am
it seems to say he and sterling will be out with loftus cheek and rashford coming in. there have been some positive signs for tottenham's dele alli though. the fa tweeted this video of him out running with the team physio yesterday. hopefully a sign hat he could make a return soon. either way, england's trent alexander—arnold, says the players aren't going to be swayed, by the "so—called" leak. we haven't been directly told of who is starting and who is not. the positions are still up for grabs, really. it does not matter what came out, what is leaked. it means nothing until it comes out of the manager's mouth. so, action kicks off from 1 o'clock today starting with group e and brazil and costa rica, live from the krestovsky stadium. you can follow that on bbc radio 5live. in group d, nigeria take on iceland from 4 o'clock, you can watch that clash right here on bbc one and listen on radio 5 live.
7:37 am
and then later, serbia take on switzerland. that kicks off at 7 o'clock this evening, again, on both bbc! and radio 5live. it's the dance craze that's ta ken youtube, the school playgrounds and now even the tennis courts by storm the floss! we'll be putting tennis stars to the test in the run up to wimbledon to see how fast they can floss, but first i had to learn how to do it myself. it is the dance craze that has had the world swinging arms and flicking hips. already this summer, it has caught on in tennis courts across the uk. and so it was a case of wimbledon meets strictly as professional dancer oate picked up a tennis racquet for the first time before teaching some tennis youngsters how to floss.
7:38 am
of course, most of them knew how to do it already. they had been learning it on the school playground. the faster you go, the cooler it looks, and the harder to keep a straight face. i couldn't do it at all. i find that it is very good exercise. you make it seem so easy. i saw everyone in my school doing it and i was like what is this? they said it was the floss. the floss was started by a 14—year—old boy in america two years ago, russell horning, also known as the backpack kid. and his dance moves have become an internet sensation. i wasn't the only parent finding it really challenging. it seems the floss has exposed a generation gap. they are like "i am doing it." no, you're not. they come to school to collect
7:39 am
you and see everyone doing it it and theyjust hate it. what are you looking for with tennis players trying to do it? i would love to see them incorporate their tennis skills in it. it is about skill and timing and speed. if they can do that, co—ordinate it, keep the face, bring out their personalities, that is something i would definitely be looking into. the great thing about flossing, you see, is that the person who invented, the backpack kid, says he could not dance. he just did it to make everyone laugh, a comedic little move. it does not matter if you can do it or not. if you do it wrong, you just end up in hysterics as i am demonstrating. one, two, three. faster, faster. yeah! all right! 0ti
7:40 am
oti willjudge who can go the fastest a nd oti willjudge who can go the fastest and best. iam i am worried about the hips of andy murray. i am sure he is fit enough to do it. like that? come on. do it as quickly as possible.|j to do it. like that? come on. do it as quickly as possible. i wish i was somewhere else. take me to a happy place. please. no, come on. it is your turn. what about you ? do no, come on. it is your turn. what about you? do the weather. ok. no. 21 is the high for yesterday across the uk. cooler than of late. things
7:41 am
will change towards next week. things are warming up. highs of around 30 degrees. something good will come your way if you like the heat next week. this is moving to a near continent. dry ground. sunshine overhead. temperatures are rising day by day. freezing in parts of devon. blue skies, the majority. sunshine is coming through. lots of cloud in the north of scotland. sunny breaks. a bit of a breeze here. not as strong as yesterday. further south, you can see the speeds are lighter. temperatures
7:42 am
will climb on yesterday even though we had the chilly night. peaking in the low 20s in southern counties of england and wales. sunshine overhead by day. but you have lost that tonight. it will be another cool night with clear skies in most of the country. temperatures in towns and cities down to single figures. going to the weekend, high pressure in charge for the vast majority. get used to this. it will be around through next week. saturday. weather fronts clipping the far north of scotland. we expect more cloud in northern scotland. there will be cloud further south turning sunshine hazy. for most of you, a blue sky day. temperatures are in the mid—teens for the north of the country. after another fresh night until sunday, a sunny day, even in
7:43 am
northern scotland, and less on the way of cloud. long spells of strong sunshine. strong sunshine overhead. with that sunshine, building heat temperatures. whether it is scotland, northern ireland, wales, england, this gives an example of what to expect for next week. temperatures in the mid—20s. as i mentioned, the middle part of the week, 30 degrees. if that is too hot for you, it is not looking desperately humid. it should be a bit more cool than we have seen. back to you. i just love a bit more cool than we have seen. back to you. ijust love a picture like that. blue skies for the weekend. should we be more concerned about the impact that so—called fast fashion is having on the planet? a group of mps is launching an inquiry into just that. ben has more. and in many cases it is quite cheap.
7:44 am
we tend not to think too much about how our clothes are made and what impact that has on the environment. but some of the facts are quite stark. some of the clothes we see in the shops consume a vast amount of resources. take a cotton shirt. that takes nearly 3,000 litres of water — more than one person drinks in 2.5 years. and we are throwing away a lot of clothes, too. the average lifetime for a piece of clothing in the uk is just over two years, and much of it ends up in landfill. a group of mps are investigating, but what can the rest of us do? patsy perry is a senior lecturer in fashion marketing at manchester university. shejoins me now. so look, a typical shirt, nearly
7:45 am
3000 litres of water. how is that taking 3000 litres of water? cotton isa taking 3000 litres of water? cotton is a very thirsty plants a lot of water is used in agriculture to grow the cotton, then we use a lot of water for processing into textiles for dyeing it as well. and many people will not even consider that, at all. we see a jeep shirt in a shop on the high street and think it isa bargain, shop on the high street and think it is a bargain, but the real cost is in things like resources used to make it. yes, we are very far from the production process, outsourcing the production process, outsourcing the developing countries, and so on. it is not something most consumers would really consider. the evidence is consumers by an style and price, very few will check the ethics of something. and mps are investigating, at its sort of seems that this trend is here to stay. —— but it sort of seems. a lot of it is
7:46 am
made in china or india and shipped to the uk and it is easier to get hold of now. will things change? well, we can keep up with trends really quickly, but the way we are buying fashion now is more akin to buying fashion now is more akin to buying fast food, so we are not keeping things were very long and we are throwing them away after very few ways. —— wears. some manufacturers and retailers now looking at waterless dying and removing some of the water from the production processes but as soon as consumers get it, they might be washing things at high temperatures, and so on, so we get it at the consumption stage. responsible disposal is another area retailers don't have a lot of control over. there are a lot of parallels with things like electrical, for example,
7:47 am
because new eu rules mean electrical retailers have to take back dishwashers and things and recycle them. would you expect clothing retailers to get to the same stage, by saying bring in your old stuff and we will get rid of it responsibly? it will be interesting to see if that happens. some retailers are doing that, h&m, zara, and so on. they're are charity shops in the uk, we have a well—established network, but sometimes it is not convenient for consumers to bring things back. perhaps they need an incentive, such asa perhaps they need an incentive, such as a voucher. john lewis is now talking about how you can sell used clothing back to them and they will send a career to pick it up for you. that is a lot more convenient for consumers. but we are time poor, very busy, and is not always top of our. it is fascinating, isn't it? 3000 litres of water for a cotton shirt. thank you forjoining us, more from me after eight a.m..
7:48 am
the great exhibition of the north, an 80—day—long celebration of northern art, design and innovation, starts today. millions of people are expected to visit the north—east to see what it has to offer between now and september. steph has taken the sofa to newcastle to find out what it is all about. good morning. what a day for an opening ceremony. it looks absolutely gorgeous here. you can see the tyne bridge in all of its glory, taking people from newcastle to gateshead and vice—versa, and thatis to gateshead and vice—versa, and that is where you see everyone running the great north run across that. it is here where the great exhibition of the north is being launched. it is 80 days of events across the region. they are hoping it will bring in lots of people and lots of muggy to the area. it is a good point to talk about culture in the area and how important that is. we have the culture secretary with us, matt hancock, and a crime brighter and creator of a series
7:49 am
filmed up here. let me start with you. what does culture mean for you in this area, and how important is it? it is hugely important. ifirst moved here in the mid— 1980s, it? it is hugely important. ifirst moved here in the mid—1980s, and we still had walking pets, and the baltic was a dying flour mill. and the shipyard were still building ships. as those industries have faded, i think the local authorities have seen the need to replace it with something. and the enlightened ones are replacing it with the baltic, with the wonderful new library in south shields. and that is creating new industries. and for you, as well, it is such an influence on your work. where the production office is is the old officers. i was really moved, i was so officers. i was really moved, i was so proud that, in a sense, in a small way i was bringing work back to the north—east. small way i was bringing work back to the north-east. and that change is obviously key to making sure places like this drive. yes, there
7:50 am
isa places like this drive. yes, there is a rejuvenation going on across the north of england, and i think the north of england, and i think the great exhibition of the north is a really good opportunity for us to celebrate that, to celebrate the history and the industrial heritage of the north, also the future of what is going on. you know, only yesterday i was opening a science lab in the middle of newcastle built on the site of stevenson ‘s workshop. you know, stevensons rocket coming here from the science museum in london is going to be one of the centrepieces of this exhibition. that is from the industrial past, and now there is this rejuvenation of culture and science and innovation that is going on all the way around us. so let's talk muggy, then. £5 million is being given from central government to this, and if you look at research on the difference between the north in the south when it comes to culture and arts funding, there is a big gap. the institute of public
7:51 am
policy research say there is a £7 million —— £7 billion gap between the north and south in terms of public spending. we are changing that. we have increased the arts budget outside of london in this round and frozen meat in london. you have to be slightly careful about the figures, because when a museum has its headquarters in london but also has outside london, then all that in the figures count as london spending. but the headquarters could be somewhere else. yes, and i am a big fan of moving headquarters out of london, like we are doing with channel 4. so i think that the nation needs to spread that prosperity more broadly. but one of the ways that you do that is by celebrating areas and using culture to drive that prosperity. no, last year, in hull, being the city of culture, it has had a massive rejuvenation effect on the city, and i hope we get the same sort of
7:52 am
effect celebrating newcastle gateshead. i think that is all fine, but we also need to think about where creativity comes from. for me, asa where creativity comes from. for me, as a brighter, creativity comes from stories and reading and rhyme and music, and you get that in libraries, and i think it is really sad that local authorities are not given specific funding to keep their lab is open. without libraries, i wouldn't be a brighter. we sell to 200 territories around the world, bringing muggy into the region and the country, but without that investment, right at the beginning, then we're not going to have those storytellers. and on that point about investment, if you look at the funding for newcastle city council, gateshead as well, their budgets have been cut by half since 2010. they are struggling. and look at what is going on around us. the rejuvenation here, in terms of the expansion of the university, the tech industry here, which is
7:53 am
actually taking... that is because they are working damp heart, they are not getting help from government. people working hard on building their area is all part of making an area great. life isn't all about handouts from london. it is about handouts from london. it is about taking your area and turning it into something brilliant. on the library ‘s example, there is a new library ‘s example, there is a new library here and the local authorities around the country are expanding their likely services using new technology. so there are ways to do this, and this exhibition is all a celebration of innovation and of the arts and design, and things that are giving people the agency to be able to take their area and really pick it up and celebrate the history, but also celebrate the future. and on that, we will now go toa future. and on that, we will now go to a brilliant film of all of the great inventions. her top ten inventions from the area. let's start with the match. john
7:54 am
walker had the bright idea in 1824. speaking of bright, forget thomas edison. the first incandescent light of was made by sunderland'sjoseph swa n of was made by sunderland'sjoseph swan in 1879 of was made by sunderland'sjoseph swan in1879 in of was made by sunderland'sjoseph swan in 1879 in the light switch as we know it, all thanks tojohn holmes, 1884. the power of water was first harnessed by william armstrong. this northumberland home the first in the world to be led by hydroelectric power. and you no windscreen wipers? we invented them. true. gladstone adams, 1908. the first public railway and the first to carry passengers on a public railway line, all down to us. and what about modern consumer classics like domestos? like lucozade? like the famous pasties. and finally,
7:55 am
where would we be without this? the parmo, deagan middlesborough, waiting to be discovered by a global audience. eudunda what you are missing! i love that, you don't know what you are missing. you certainly don't. we met the little inventors earlier on. pa rt met the little inventors earlier on. part of the great exhibition of the north is about getting them inspired, and! north is about getting them inspired, and i have some of them here. tell me what you have invented. i have invented a smart process recycling food into energy, water from the black pipe, process recycling food into energy, waterfrom the black pipe, and helping the old and disabled with a ramp. it has lightning proof glass which absorbs heat from the sun. you are so which absorbs heat from the sun. you are so clever. this is great. and you are an architect who helped design this. tel is a bit about this project. it has been brilliant. they had an competition called the 2030
7:56 am
challenge inviting primary school children across the north to enter and think about what life would be like in 2030. adriana's design incorporate sustainability, accessible design and all the things which would really make life great. we are pressed for time, sorry to move on. tell me what yours is. mine is the super grow move on. tell me what yours is. mine is the supergrow 11,000, move on. tell me what yours is. mine is the super grow 11,000, and it follows the sun to produce more fruit. so when the sun moves, the plant pot moves. yes. and if it was a big pot, it would help move that as well. tell me what yours is quickly, andrew. so normally when you break a buy on any put a cast on, when you take the cast off, you need a lot of physiotherapy to be able to use your muscle again. but with my invention, it has a little electric pulse going through it which tenses your muscle, which means you need hardly any physiotherapy to be able to use your
7:57 am

7:58 am
‘goldfinger,’ was once described as britain's richest criminal. he was shot dead in his garden three years ago. police have confirmed they are looking for a hitman. we all knowjohn palmer had a background, but actually, john palmer is dead, and it was a murder. and there is a contract killer out somewhere, out loose, who needs to be caught. charlton athletic has confirmed it is expecting a takeover of the club by a group of investors linked to the australian football consortium. in a statement, the club gave no indication of when the deal might be. it said lee bowyer will continue as caretaker manager until further notice. a foundation has been started in memory of a 21—year—old who the prime minister credited with helping her shake up the system and reform stop—and—search practices. alexander paul died of complications due to brain cancer lastjune. it is hoped the foundation will encourage young people to express their emotions through creative activities.

turning to the travel situation now. charing cross station has been evacuated as a precaution after an incident there. no services are currently stopping at the station. on the tubes, the northern line is part—suspended between camden town and kennington southbound. on the trains, southern has delays of up to 15 minutes between west croydon and sutton. turning to the roads, on the camera there, the blackwall tunnel is slow northbound. in esher on the a3 southbound two lanes are closed between esher common and painshill following a collision let's have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a deceptively chilly start to the day for this time of year. some of our temperatures dropped back to six degrees celsius last night, but it will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, with lighter winds than we saw yesterday. a beautiful day, all in all. here's the map. now, as you can see, there's barely a cloud in the sky throughout the day. just a light northerly breeze, and temperatures will be higher than we saw yesterday — 21 or 22 degrees celsius, might even see the odd spot at 23 towards central london. just be aware that,
8:00 am
with the sun directly overhead, the uv levels are very high, and the pollen levels are also very high, too. so there will be lots of late sunshine around this evening, and then overnight tonight, we're keeping those clear skies. once more, i think temperatures will widely drop back into single figures. so quite a cool start to the day again tomorrow, but over the weekend those temperatures are set to rise further, into the mid—20s this time. again, plenty more sunshine to come. not too much in the way of cloud, and as we head into next week, those temperatures will start tojump up into the high 20s in celsius. in fact, i think some places will get very close to 30 degrees. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it is back tojon and naga. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. thousands ofjobs could be at risk as airbus warns it may pull out of the uk if there is a "no deal" brexit. the aerospace firm employs 14,000 people across the country. a senior executive says it's a dawning reality. airbus has 25 factories across the uk — it's now warned it could move
8:01 am
production to china. good morning. it's friday the 22nd ofjune. also this morning... president trump's immigration policy causes delays and protests in congress. but it's his wife's coat — with "i really don't care. do you?" on the back — that ca uses co ntrove rsy. 70 years after the first caribbean migrants arrived on the empire windrush to help rebuild britain, a thanksgiving service will be held later today. good morning from tyneside where they are gearing up for the great exhibition of the north. it will be 80 days of exhibitions and events here, celebrating innovation and
8:02 am
design. i will have all details shortly. in sport, it's geting messi for argentina, but not in the way they wanted, as their star is upstaged by luka modrich of croatia, who thrashed the south americans 3—0 to leave the hand of god wiping away the tears. and it's the dance craze that's had everyone swinging their arms and hips — find out why i've been having a go at the floss. not quite everybody! chuckles will you be flossing in the sunshine this weekend? you have seen the skies in tyneside, it isa you have seen the skies in tyneside, it is a similar picture across the uk, if not today, then over the coming days. and things will get much hotter, i will tell you just how hot coming up. always succumbing to peer pressure! first, our main story. airbus has warned it could leave the uk in the event of a "no—deal brexit". the aerospace company currently employs more than 14,000 people across 25 sites in the uk. ben is here with more.
8:03 am
it contributes a lot to our economy. and we would take a knock. yes, and a significant number of jobs. and we would take a knock. yes, and a significant number ofjobs. it is 25 plants in the uk. it particularly makes aeroplane wings. there is a big plant in north wales. 14,000 staff employed directly in them. but thenif staff employed directly in them. but then if you look at the supply chains, all of the smaller firms that supply parts and services to airbus, that's more staff. they warning to the promised to three weeks ago. they. they say they have lost patience with theresa may's stalled brexit negotiations. —— they have said that they have lost patience. they might go to china, the us, or elsewhere in europe. tom williams, the ceo, has issued a statement: bill calling for some clarity, and
8:04 am
he goes on to say: —— he is calling for some clarity. lots of people questioning why it will be a move to the us or china. they are not in the eu. but we should remember that the two largest trading partners to the eu are the united states and china. so they have a lot of precedent of doing business. lots of concern for those jobs already. but that's just a proposal. what they've already started doing is stockpiling parts because there are real worry is that if things are held up at the border in the event of a new deal brexit because of the customs union issue there could be a shortage of parts to make these playing wings which are made in the uk. the government have said that they don't expect a no deal scenario. —— plane wings. the welsh government have said that the announcement from their bosses extremely worried because of that plant in broughton. —— the
8:05 am
announcement from airbus is extremely worrying. thanks, ben. first lady melania trump spoke out on immigration when visiting a child detention centre in the us yesterday. it was the coat she wore which made headlines. the words "i really don't care. do u?" were written on the back of it — prompting questions about the message she was trying to convey. meanwhile, in congress tougher laws on immigration have been delayed amid protests. here's more from our north america correspondent chris buckler. the first lady knows that in recent weeks, many families arriving at america's border have faced a very different sort of welcome. this is one of the centres where migrant children are being cared for having been separated from their parents. and this visit was a sign of the concern of melania trump of what is happening under the flag of the us and the orders of her husband's administration.
8:06 am
i am here to learn about the facility. i would like to ask you how i can help to reunite these children with theirfamilies as quickly as possible. president trump reversed his policy after outrage at the images of children being held in cages and the stories of distress caused by families being split apart. there is still confusion over how and when those separated will be reunited. although melania trump travelled to texas to show sympathy, there were mixed messages and controversy because of the coat she wore. it was emblazoned with the phrase "i really don't care, do u?" donald trump said this about it. but it's certainly true that washington is struggling to find solutions to america's immigration problems.
8:07 am
as protestors staged a demonstration in the halls of congress, a proposal for a vote on legislation was delayed until next week, but there is no way of stopping the flow of families seeking shelter here. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. there are claims that m ore needs to be done to listen to whistleblowers when they raise concerns about the nhs, in the wake of the suspicious deaths of hundreds of elderly people at a hospital in gosport. dame janet smith, who led the inquiry into the harold shipman case. she says some of the recommendations she made about how complaints should be handled still haven't been implemented. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, says he's confident that checks are now in place to ensure similar problems would be identified quickly. it seems to me in the nhs that they close ranks when somebody seeks to criticise them. people who raise complaints, they're not treated as well as they should be.
8:08 am
the complaint system, the recommendations that i made in shipman, they've not been fully implemented. the probation system in england and wales is said to be in a "mess," according to a committee of mps. thejustice select committee is urging the government to overhaul the way offenders are supervised in the community, after a report found reforms introduced four years ago, when the service was partially privatised, failed to work. we do think there has to be a very urgent and full review of all of this. just a sticking plaster of putting more money in one bit here and another bit there is not going to solve it. we have serious doubts as to whether this system can really ever be made for purpose. the church of england is making last—minute efforts to engage with survivors of sexual abuse, just weeks before the publication of what is expected to be a highly critical report. an examination of evidence by bbc local radio stations shows that
quote
8:09 am
serious allegations of abuse went unrecorded after cases involving dead and retired clergy were left out of a review in 2010. a spokesperson for the anglican church said recent criticisms "have been taken very seriously and acted upon". philip hammond has insisted that the treasury is not the enemy of brexit. in his speech last night he said he was focused on boosting prosperity by promoting ties with the eu after britain leaves. he also confirmed that taxes will have to go up to boost spending on the nhs. how's this for starting your day? people all over the world have been marking international yoga day. the event which is recognised by the united nations began in 2014 with the aim of fostering peace and understanding, with millions meditating on different continents. let's ta ke let's take a look. do you do yoga? never done it.
8:10 am
i have never bought into it. these quys i have never bought into it. these guysin i have never bought into it. these guys in times square are doing it. isn't that just having guys in times square are doing it. isn't thatjust having a lie down? no, it is all about structuring. the different host too. this is rio de janeiro, people meditating for peace. —— it is all about structuring, different poses, too. today marks 70 years since the empire windrush sailed into britain along with the hundreds of caribbean migrants who had spent more than a month travelling across the atlantic in search of a new life. the anniversary follows the recent windrush scandal which saw citizens wrongly targeted over their residency status, with fears many may have already been deported. nick davis has been to kingston to speak to some of those affected. archive footage: the empire windrush brings to britain 500 jamaicans.
8:11 am
many are ex—servicemen who know england. 70 years ago, people left from across the caribbean to help rebuild britain — what they called the mother country. the uk needed workers after the war, and when the empire windrush docked here in jamaica, hundreds of people took up the call. passenger opportunity to united kingdom. at the national library, ken morgan is looking back on an event that shaped his future. he came up to the uk in the late 1950s as a nine—year—old on a british passport. after living in london for decades, he attended a funeral injamaica, and wasn't allowed back after his uk passport was confiscated by british consular officials. that was 25 years ago. so i'm at the high commission, and i said, well, i need to have my passport. i need to travel, and i missed my flight, and how does it work?
8:12 am
i had a return ticket, now how do i get home? he looked at me and he said, mr morgan, that was never a proper british passport. the changes in home office rules meant that a number of people had already been deported wrongly, or have been left stranded in the caribbean for years. the jamaican government is helping its uk counterpart by tracking down cases. some people have said they don't want any money, it's not about money for them. some people have just not responded. and then there's also the fact of reaching them in ruraljamaica, and the sensitivity that attached to the inability to return. utell bailey, a formerjockey, was deported in the ‘70s, and never saw his mother again. but, despite the racing community becoming his family, he says no money could make up for what he has lost. yeah, no price can be put on my mother's and my relationship, you know? but right now, i will leave that
8:13 am
to the relevant authorities, to see what they think is justifiable for the wrongs that they have done. for the windrush generation, it is about a principle. that passport represents something for all the caribbean people who have sacrificed over the years, and i'm not — i'm not so keen on giving it up. here at kingston harbour, there is not much of it that remains of the original piers where those early pioneers would have boarded. but, for the windrush generation, the actions of the british government, then and now, are still creating waves. we are nowjoined in the studio by winston walker, who came to britain from jamaica with his parents when
8:14 am
you were, what, just 18 months old? yes. when you think of this anniversary, the generation coming over, what does it mean to you to be pa rt over, what does it mean to you to be part of that generation? until all of this came about, i never saw myself as a windrush trials. but one thing i can say now, i can see the significance, and the relevance of that period. and i think that it is good that it has been acknowledged. because... i am glad that it has been acknowledged now because it gives us purpose of being here. all of the controversy and headlines this year are about citizenship and residency. it's made you look at things, learn more about your own history. 0h,
8:15 am
oh, definitely. for many years, it's been a case of belonging. you know, because i've lived in this country... you don't even feel like you're living here. you feel like you're living here. you feel like you're just existing. you haven't felt you've belonged to this country? no, because i can't... you know, you're not like anybody else. you're not like everybody else. i have to admit, it was at a very early age when i realised i had problems. it was just after i left school, at college in birmingham, where i am from. you know, there was some trip overseas and things like that, just a weekend, but i had to exclude myself because i didn't have
8:16 am
the documents. what were you told? did you try to apply for documents with radio: yes, i mean, later on, but it was always having to prove yourself, you know. i think the most upsetting thing, i mean, anybody can look at him and think, he grew up in birmingham —— did you have to apply for documents? yes, i mean later on. you can tell i am not somebody who has just turned up am not somebody who has just turned up here the other day. the government has apologised over the last few months for this whole windrush crisis. it says it is dealing now with individual cases, it wants to have a national windrush day every year to remember are members of that generation, your generation. do you feel things have got better? does feel things have improved in the last few weeks? well, it's going to take a long time
8:17 am
to improve, because... i mean, i've lived in this country for over 50 yea rs, lived in this country for over 50 years, and, you know, we've lived through the reports, the macpherson report, after, you know, the stephen lawrence inquiry, and you say we are almost getting there are people are listening and things like that, then something like this comes along and you think, you know, we are back to where we started. but i do think, i acknowledge, you know, the reason why we are here. silencing the people who are constantly saying we shouldn't be. winston, it is good to talk to you. thank you. on the 70th anniversary of windrush arriving in britain. it's 8.19 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news.
8:18 am
the main stories this morning: the planemaker airbus has warned it could leave the uk if the country exits the european union single market and customs union without a transition deal. president trump says he's ordered government agencies to reunite the hundreds of families who have been split up after arriving illegally in america. the good news it is doing it this morning is it is looking great for the weather. matt wiltshire us up with user barbecues... laughter -- matt laughter —— matt is going to cheer us up. yes, indeed. but believe it or not there was some frost down here, and if that was too chilly for you the cold there is on its way back out again. this was only a brief
8:19 am
glimpse. this cold air has been with us the past 24 hours, and the fresh airwill be off us the past 24 hours, and the fresh air will be off into the new continent then over the coming days, high—pressure building, air circulating around, gradually warming up. so we could see temperatures next week reach around 30 degrees in one automatic spots. that is a few days away yet. pleasa nt that is a few days away yet. pleasant day out there today, probably the best way to describe it. after the chilly start temperatures are already shooting up with blue skies for the vast majority. this cloud will continue to break up. more cloud across northern scotland and the skies have turned grey at times here this morning to produce fabrics of rain or drizzle. also into the afternoon it should be dry, and the brakes in the load with sunshine coming through. here the cloud is much lighter so although we started on a chilly zero it will be a degree or two higher than yesterday. into the 20s for some parts of england and wales. into the night, of course
8:20 am
lovely evenings at the moment, but turning cool quite quickly. another fresh nectar, especially with clear skies over the bulk of the uk. away from towns and cities, back down into single figures into saturday morning. but into the weekend, a big hello to high pressure which will be with us not just hello to high pressure which will be with us notjust this weekend but also next week. saturday, the northern edge of it, running round on that anticlockwise flow, we have the weather front switch. northern scotland, another fairly cloudy day, occasional rain at times, especially in the morning. the odd jese stretch. a bit more high cloud road tomorrow elsewhere ——. temperatures are little cooler across the highlands and islands but in the south, into the 20s, and by sunday, a fresh start, almost uninterrupted sunshine overhead and pretty strong sunshine overhead and pretty strong sunshine at that for the time of year, temperatures continue to
8:21 am
claim. even scotland and northern ireland into the 20s by that stage and the temperatures keep going up into next week. a quick glimpse on what is going on. wherever you are, temperatures the night 20s through next week and one or two spots as you mention will get closer to 30 degrees. so, jon, naga, barbecue weather, perfect. perfect! we have some pop! do you know what this is the sound of? fizzes don't waste it! we need it! a shortage of carbon dioxide is putting increasing pressure on food and drink manufacturers. ben, what's going on? you could've probably sold that fizz for thousands of pounds. yes, not only in fizzy drinks, but also in
8:22 am
beer, lager and all sorts of things across the food industry. pre—packaged salad, well, this one's open, so not in here, and it is used to keep things fresh. there are all sorts of reasons why it is used, but there are potentially now is a shortage because of a rather convoluted reason, but basically a by—product of ammonia used in fertiliser, and during the summer you use less fertiliser because the pla nts you use less fertiliser because the plants on the ground are already established, and also prices have fallen significantly so a lot of manufacturers of carbon dioxide have simply stopped making it. their factories have gone on summer breaks, and that's corresponds with a massive spike in demand for fizzy drinks and beer over the world cup, and potentially we have now heard from beer manufacturers, heineken cn a few of its brands are running short... you could run out of beer during the world cup! well you could have flat beer, or real ale. but
8:23 am
there is also a shortage of chickens. the co2 is used basically to suffocate the chickens before they are slaughtered, so without that they are seeing a lot more will stay in the farms and factories much longer before they are slaughtered so longer before they are slaughtered so that could have a knock—on effect. so there could be a real shortage. should we be worried about all of this, the big question? will there be a shortage of beer. i do not yet, according to the british pub association. this is what they told real —— what they told us. we have got some issues, but don't stop going to the pub. be a bit understanding. we're coping with it, and we hope that, working with these companies, we can get the supply of c02 so vital to the brewing industry back on stream as quickly as possible. ben, and had a few questions for you. salad, why are we putting co2 in salad and not oxygen? basically, like all of us we need oxygen to breathe and exists all the bugs that may be in the air in the salad, it stops it decomposing quakers quickly
8:24 am
because there is nothing for them to feed on. the message we seem to be getting, co2 is good, oxygen bad, but i thought it was the other way around, talking about global warming or the effect on the environment. we are trying to cut co2 and environment, but this is such a tiny proportion. as well as food it is used in medical procedures to create sterile environments because it gets rid of everything bugs could fly on. and it is not entirely co2, of course, because if it was entirely full that it would stop the food taste, so it is a mixture of oxygen and co2. you just didn't take it for granted, don't you? i wonder if it is something of marketing ploy to make us all go out and buy beer.|j don't think anybody needs any incentive! i love that lady, don't worry, don't panic, you can still go to the pub. still plenty to go around. this is sort of early days. we importa
8:25 am
around. this is sort of early days. we import a third of the co2 we use in the uk. deals, trade, all that sort of stuff. yes, how it affects us on sort of stuff. yes, how it affects usona sort of stuff. yes, how it affects us on a day—to—day level. sort of stuff. yes, how it affects us on a day-to-day level. ready, ben? only two glasses, sorry. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning... not beer, but you might be needing one if you are a fan of argentina... argentina are on the verge of being knocked out of the world cup after a shock defeat to croatia. we'll be live in moscow to get the reaction of former england and arsenal women's star alex scott. we really should put these glasses and bottles away, it looks quite bad! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will see you in a couple of minutes. good morning. it's shaping up to be another sunny and warm day. in fact, if anything, today will be warmer than yesterday because the winds
8:26 am
won't be as strong, so we should see temperatures lifting a degree or so above are those of thursday. the beginning of next week, we have this fine spell continuing and we are likely to see temperature is responding to that strongly with sunshine and getting 30 mark. now, it is very strong sunshine today. in fact, some of the strongest sunshine we see actually here in the uk is forecast particularly for england and wales, very high levels of uv, and unfortunately very high levels of pollen as well. we do have a bit more cloud to contend with for the western isles of scotland, the northern isles, and a bit of drizzle here, but the winds are not as much of a feature. they are a notch down on those of yesterday. as a result it'll feel warm in the sunshine, even with the drizzle in the western isles, the northern isles, and perhaps highlands of scotland, probably 12 to 15 here. but high teens for most, low 20s in inland parts of england and wales. a little bit fresher around the coasts because of the sea breezes.
8:27 am
through the evening and overnight, just like we have seen, temperatures will fall away to single figures under the clear skies for most. we had three, four in some rural spots of england and wales this morning. these are for towns and cities, i imagine it'll bejust as chilly out in the countryside. with high pressure this weekend, again, the will warm quite quickly under that very strong june sunshine. the only weather fronts in existence, really, are in the far north of scotland where there might be a bit more rain and drizzle here again on saturday. by sunday it should have gone. for most of us, as you can see, saturday is shaping up to be another sunny, warm, and dry affair. temperatures creeping up another degree or two from those of today. and another degree or two again on sunday. by which stage you can see the weather front is just about clearing shetland as we get towards lunchtime. highs again into the mid—20s by that stage. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with maryam moshiri and samantha simmonds. flying without wings. planemaking giant airbus warns it
8:28 am
could leave the uk if there's no post—brexit trade deal. live from london, that's our top story on friday 22nd june. the aerospace giant warns no deal would lead to severe disruption — the british government says it doesn't expect that to happen and significant progress is being made. also in the programme... could the price of oil be about to fall? leading producers are meeting in vienna where they could agree to increase production.
