join us next week when: chris heads to the historic beaches of normandy in france, where 75 years on from the d—day landings, some of the last surviving signs of the german wartime occupation are still provoking mixed emotions. don't forget, you can follow us on social media and all the usual ways, but, for now and from me and the team, it's goodbye. i'm off for another spin! good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: let's do a deal — the prime minister appeals to jeremy corbyn to resolve their differences and help her deliver brexit. the illegal puppy trade exposed — the treasury recovers almost five

and a half million pounds in unpaid taxes in an operation to tackle dodgy dog breeders. police forces in england and wales are urged to rethink their policy of asking rape victims for access to messages and photographs on their phones. the premier league title race is going down to the last day of the season. but liverpool left it very late to beat newcastle, they are on top again and the pressure is back on manchester city. good morning. our bank holiday weather continues on a chilly note. some sunshine today in the south, cloudier skies in the north. a full forecast shortly. the prime minister has urged the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, to work with her to break the brexit deadlock, telling him: "let's do a deal". writing in the mail on sunday, theresa may claims the local election results show people are fed up with the failure of both main parties to find a way to honour the result of the referendum.

nick eardleyjoins us from our london newsroom. we know that they have been talking all this time. they any closer to achieving some kind of deal? there are still hurdles to overcome, still differences between the two sides. but what the prime minister is saying, the local elections didn't go particularly well for either of the parties and we need to use the wake—up call, as she sees it, from the electorate to get this over the line. that's exactly the message i think she will be taking to labour when the two sides get back around the table on tuesday. the problem is, it's not an easy sell to either side. some conservatives will be absolutely furious if the prime of your moves closer towards labour's position and agrees to something resembling a customs union, keeping similar trade rules to the ones we have now. on the other side there are labourmps champing have now. on the other side there

are labour mps champing at the bit, saying to jeremy corbyn, don't agree to anything that doesn't include another referendum or we might not back you. do we have any idea where the arguments lie and what kind of compromise is going to be required to come up with something both can agree to? basically the labour party wa nt agree to? basically the labour party want theresa may to come a lot closer to their plan, which would involve that customs union, staying pretty close to eu trade rules, kind of similarto pretty close to eu trade rules, kind of similar to what we have now. a hint from the prime minister this morning in her mail on sunday piece that any deal she does sign up to wouldn't be permanence, it would be a stepping stone perhaps towards another general election, saying that a future parliament would have the decision, the final decision on whether the relationship was closer or more distant with the eu. whether thatis or more distant with the eu. whether that is enough to satisfy the labour party who want something permanent is not totally clear now. many

thanks. many thanks. dog breeders selling puppies on the black market have been forced to pay back more than five million pounds in tax as part of a clamp—down on illegal puppy farming. customs officers found fraudsters making huge profits by breeding puppies on a mass scale — with little regard for their welfare. simonjones reports. distressed dogs kept in appalling conditions by breeders not paying their taxes, treating animals as a commodity rather than with humanity, selling them on in huge numbers. the impact of the illegal puppy trade on dogs is one of absolute misery and animal welfare problems, from disease to over—breeding, it really does cause suffering, and some of these people are moving dogs around, travelling great distances when they are sick and injured, and it really is a miserable trade. a task force from hm revenue and customs set up in 2015 has recovered almost £5.5 million in lost taxes. it identified 257 separate cases

of tax evasion across the uk. one puppy breeder in scotland was handed a bill of £105,000. animal welfare groups say tens of thousands of puppies are being reared in unregulated conditions. the task force says it has made inroads into what it calls a brutal trade, but it is a growing problem. the government was unable to say how many of the breeders who had been fined were still operating. the advice from the rspca for anybody considering buying a dog is to do your research on the person selling it, or to consider a rescue dog. police commissioners are calling on prosecutors to withdraw a controversial new form forcing victims of crime, including rape complainants, to hand over their mobile phones or risk their attacker walking free.the association of police and crime commissioners says the policy risks undermining the criminaljustice system. andy moore reports. these are the new consent forms that

could be used by the police, asking victims of crime — including rape victims — to allow their mobile phones and other data to be examined. campaigners have described them as a "digital strip search." support from the view that the police have gone too far has come from an unusual source — the police and crime commissioners who are elected by us to hold police forces to account. the forms were introduced after a series of scandals where vital evidence held on social media was not handed over to rape defendants. they were seen as an attempt to improve the thoroughness of investigations. police said data would only be examined where it was relevant to an enquiry. but the association of police and crime commissioners opposes the move. david lloyd, the organisation's lead on criminaljustice, told the observer newspaper: the police and crime commissioners

say that in some cases, material unconnected to the rape case has been obtained by officers and used to undermine the complainant. the police say they are trying to balance privacy and justice. those whose job it is to oversee the police say that on this occasion they have got that balance wrong. 16 people have been killed, and thousands have been left homeless by cyclone fani — one of the most powerful storms to hit india in 20 years. more than 10,000 villages have been damaged by the cyclone, which made landfall on friday, but indian officials say the early evacuation of more than a million people saved many lives. militants in the gaza strip have fired more than 200 rockets into israel, the army says, prompting air strikes and tank fire on the palestinian territory. officals say three israelis were wounded by the rockets, while israeli fire killed four

palestinians. including a mother and her baby daughter. israel said it had responded by targeting a hamas headquarters and a tunnel used by islamichhad militants. the violence follows a truce in the run—up to the israeli elections. the newly—crowned king of thailand has been granting titles to members of the royal family on the second day of elaborate ceremonies marking his coronation. he's expected to take part in a grand procession on the streets of bangkok later today. 0ur correspondent laura bicker sent this update. in just a few hours' time, one of the most powerful monarchs in the world will parade through the streets of bangkok. they are starting to arrive in their hundreds. they are expecting around 200,000 people to line the streets. the newly anointed and crowned king rama x will be carried through the streets in what is called a palanquin, a kind of chariot carried by 16 men. it is being carried

in 38 celsius heat, so that is quite a difficultjob. they will change every 500 metres. he will visit three sacred temples and pay his respects to the ashes of his ancestors, and when he is carried through the streets, it will be about seven kilometres of the route. yes, we are expecting to see scenes of people getting a glimpse of this new king. he is seen as more remote than his well loved father, and far more controversial. he has spent a lot of time in munich with his 13—year—old son. he is very, very close to the military, a military which has overthrown two governments in the last 13 years in thailand. what people here are wondering is, what is this powerful monarchs going to do? but what these ceremonies will do over the next few days is cement and anchor his place at the head of one of the most powerful of dynasties. an investigation has begun into why an aircraft carrying 143 passengers slid off a runway in florida

and into a river. the boeing 737 had been chartered by the us military to bring personnel from guantanamo bay in cuba to a military base nearjacksonville. officals say no—one was badly hurt. it is a miracle. it could have ended very... we could be talking about a different story this evening. so i think there's a lot to say about the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the aeroplane. there's a lot to say about that because it very well could be worse. asda has been criticised for trying to push through changes to the contracts of thousands of its workers. more than 150 mps have signed a letter saying the new terms could leave employees worse off. asda says the move will bring the company in line with industry standards. a rare brooch has been uncovered in norfolk. the 800—year—old treasure features two lions and is studded

with two pink stones. it was found in a freshly ploughed field by a newly qualified archaeologist but it wasn't his first find. tom ‘luck‘—ing unearthed a anglo—saxon pendant worth £145,000 when he was still a student in 2014. an anglo—saxon pedant? an anglo-saxon pedant? did i say pedant? you did! that pendant helped him pay for the purchase. he's obviously got an eye for it. he has found his calling. it is 8:11am. bell's palsy affects thousands of people every year and for most, the illness — which causes paralysis to the face — disappears within weeks. but for some the symptoms can last for years, and there's concerns that a lack of awareness

about the condition is leading to treatment problems. let's take a look at clare's story. people have called me a freak, sloth, after goonies, ugly, tramp. claire will always remember christmas 2003. it's the night, she says, that stole her smile. she woke up the following day with bell's palsy. 15 years later she still has a weakness of the muscles of the right side of her face, which can be painfulfor her. some days i can't open my eyes. some days i slur when i speak. i dribble when i drink. i try to act like it doesn't bother me, but it's your face. if you have a spot on your face it's ten times worse for you than it is to everyone else. it's not life—threatening, but it is life changing. clare mountjoins us now along

with professor ahmed sadiq from the charity facial palsy uk. thanks for coming in. we heard you talking about it there butjust explain, because your condition has not improved, hasn't gone away, how does it affect your life? not improved, hasn't gone away, how does it affect your life ?|j not improved, hasn't gone away, how does it affect your life? i get very anxious in different situations. meeting new people. it has stopped me from doing a lot of things, some days i haven't even wanted to get out of bed. but you learn to deal with it. how did it all come about? what was the first sign? the night before i woke up with it, i was drinking and started to dribble. but ididn't take drinking and started to dribble. but i didn't take any notice. when i we nt i didn't take any notice. when i went to bed. and it should be said you hadn't drunk that much. no, one bottle. my mum joked and said, how much have you had to drink because you are dribbling? it was only that bottle. when i went to bed, when i

woke up the next day, my face had completely dropped and it was symptoms like a stroke. i partner at the time said don't get up, don't look in the mirror. but obviously that's the first thing you do. description you use, that was the night that. stole my smile. yes, because i had a big grin before and i'iow because i had a big grin before and now it's not the same. the key thing is, as! now it's not the same. the key thing is, as i understand it, it is quick and early intervention after this happens. yes, this is a classic story of someone that has bell's palsy. if they can see a doctor, a gp or casualties within 72 hours, they are given high—dose steroids which reduces the severity of the policy and makes it better quicker. that is the ideal treatment. —— the severity of the bell's palsy. presumably it is very easy to can ——

confuse this with a stroke. yes, you have probably seen adverts on the back of buses of how to recognise a stroke, one of which is a droopy face. that's important because you can prevent fatalities. at once a stroke has been excluded, the only other common cause for a droopy face isa other common cause for a droopy face is a facial palsy. some of this will be informing gps about signs and symptoms. what causes it? a viral inflammation of the nerve. that's why we give steroids to reduce the swelling of the nerves and get it to heal. one of the reasons why facial palsy uk started a charity was to improve information for health care practitioners and patients. it is a resource for all those people. there are lots of stories and —— of patients who help others with their

owi'i patients who help others with their own stories. some of the treatment you are receiving is only because you are receiving is only because you found a specialist nearby that you found a specialist nearby that you heard about from your own doctor. yes, i joined you heard about from your own doctor. yes, ijoined a support group online and that's where i'm at someone group online and that's where i'm at someone who told me about the charity. their support has been unreal. they told me, the consultants, and then i took that research to my gp. he was only 20 minutes down the road from where i live. that close to you! and one in five people might have this condition, therefore one gp might have only seen one case. yes, the incidence is about one in 5,000. four out of five of those will get better. only 20% of that number will have a remaining palsy to some degree. most gps may have one patient on their books. which is why

they are not really up—to—date with they are not really up—to—date with the latest treatments. we know botox has been developed as a treatment forfacial palsy, has been developed as a treatment for facial palsy, have you had that? not yet, i am due to have it on the 28th ofjune. not yet, i am due to have it on the 28th of june. i not yet, i am due to have it on the 28th ofjune. i have just had my consultant appointment and he has referred me to the botox. does not relax the muscles? we use it for several reasons. one thing that happens after bell's palsy is that healing causes overstimulation of the muscle so they work too much, the muscle so they work too much, the botox relaxes that. the other thing is to paralyse the good side of the face so the two sides are symmetrical. what people notice is the difference between two sides of the difference between two sides of the face, symmetry. so we are reducing the asymmetry with the botox. one of our colleagues had this a couple of years ago and he made a full recovery. are you hopeful, claire? it's great that you have come on and we are very

grateful to you. are you hopeful that the symptoms will continue to improve? i hope so. the more confident i am guessing, the better lam doing, confident i am guessing, the better i am doing, facial exercises i have found on youtube. even if it makes the slightest difference it will make a huge difference to me. you have done a billion job coming make a huge difference to me. you have done a billionjob coming here and talking about it. thank you very much. thank you. let's have a look at the weather forecast. i know thank you. let's have a look at the weatherforecast. i know that thank you. let's have a look at the weather forecast. i know that part of the world, that is chesil beach. looking towards weymouth. that's right. good morning. this is the view over chesil beach this morning. some beautiful blue skies but it is a cold start to the day. remaining chili for many of us for much of the day. but less windy than yesterday and there are fewer showers. a little bit cold but there is quite a lot of dry weather on the cards. not

so much sunshine further north, more cloud from the north—west. higher pressure in charge today, so as that builds from the west it is squeezing those heavy showers. we have still got cold air, the wind is not as strong, still coming from the north, blustery across northern scotland, eastern england. the best of the sunshine further south, particularly southern and south—west england, wales. more cloud generally further north—west. showers also rattling in across northern scotland. breezy out there, without those strong gusts yes —— that we had yesterday. temperatures not great for the time of year, nine to 13 degrees. that won't feel too bad with a bit of sunshine in the south. it should be predominantly cloudy for the bike race today, just a small chance of a passing shower. temperatures around

9 degrees at best. this evening, the cloud across scotland bringing showers further south. some of them wintry, some sleet and snow over scotland's highest ground. not quite as cold as last night. temperatures not far from freezing first thing on bank holiday monday. through the day this cold front making its way further south. that will bring some cloud for parts of northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england. showery rain, sleepiness over the high ground. to the south predominantly dry with some sunny spells. 0ne predominantly dry with some sunny spells. one or two showers towards east anglia and the south—east later. top temperatures between nine tea m later. top temperatures between nine team degrees celsius. not great, particularly compared to that 29 celsius last year on may day. another cool and cloudy day on tuesday. bit wintry of a higher ground. seven to 1a degrees on

tuesday, slightly milder air from the south. but also in association with some rain. low pressure from tuesday into wednesday, bringing wet and windy weather. things looking pretty unsettled but april was a very dry month, so for many of us we could do with the bit of rain for gardens. it will be on the way this week. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's time now for a look at the newspapers. jon tonge, professor of politics at liverpool university is here to tell us what's caught his eye. i think it might be a politics free zone. a lot of local election fallout in the last hour. but first let's look at the front pages. the sunday times reports on a "last ditch" attempt by the prime minister to deliver brexit by agreeing a deal with labour. it pictures freddie mercury from queen and reports the band

are now richer than the actual queen. the observer also leads with brexit. the other front page story is on controversial new forms being used by police which ask people reporting some crimes to hand over their phones as evidence. the sunday mirror claims to have fresh details on a alleged new suspect in the disappearence of madeleine mccann. and the mail on sunday uses its front page to criticise dame emma thompson for flying to new york afterjoining the recent climate change protests in london. it also prints childhood photos of meghan markle as she herself waits for her baby to be born. we talk a lot about people behaviour. the focus in one paper this morning is the behaviour of pa rents this morning is the behaviour of parents and the suggestion that they should be fine for swearing within schools, teachers and so on. i think

your initial reaction was what on earth? it is a shocking story. the call for parents to be fined both —— comes from the former chief and schools. it ties in with the head teachers conference this weekend where we have heard shocking tales about head teachers being threatened and sworn at. the proposals are to find these parents, find them for swearing at head teachers, find them if they try to take their children out of detention is, and perhaps most controversially, fine parents if they don't turn up to their son or daughter's open evening. that's the controversial bit because if you we re the controversial bit because if you were working, parents evening starts at a:30pm or 5pm, you can't get there. suppose it is a two-parent family, should both parents be required to attend? if your family are separated, sometimes there is confusion about who has responsibility to turn up. presumably there would be some capacity for parents to say i can't

make it. if you start imposing draconian fines for that, it will clearly be problematic. i think it would attract a lot of sympathy. it must be frustrating for teachers putting in a lot of effort and there isa putting in a lot of effort and there is a no—show from parents. putting in a lot of effort and there is a no-show from parents. we have been talking about the weather this morning. in the context of three weeks ago, easter bank holiday weekends, and then it is colder this time. yes, we were lucky with easter. normally you have more snow at easter than christmas. this is a long—standing bugbear of mine, our bank holidays make no sense in terms of timing. two in may and nothing in the warmest months of the year, june and july. one of the dog days of summer and july. one of the dog days of summerand the end and july. one of the dog days of summer and the end of august. i know it is different for scotland and northern ireland. why can't we have bank holidays in june northern ireland. why can't we have bank holidays injune and july? and then we go right through to christmas. traditionally the weather has been horrific on may day bank

holidays. but a lot of people say it is very late this year. i think last year it was april fools' day. this stunning picture, istruggle year it was april fools' day. this stunning picture, i struggle with the pronunciation which i know i will get wrong. it is from a range of hills in north, with blanketed snow. beautiful but we are not going to be headed to a beach this bank holiday, temperatures down to —4. the hardier people out there will be regardless! this one says, can on, cinemas, give us a break. odd one saying that films are too long and there should be a toilet break. alfred hitchcock once said that the length of a film should be related to the endurance of the human bladder. this is the argument there. i think bladder. this is the argument there. ithinki bladder. this is the argument there. i think i would be going to a lot of short films! the new avengers film is three hours. the columnist argues that her friend had to go to the

toilet and couldn't find her way back, went into the wrong film, it's dark, you can see where you were sitting. i suppose it would make commercial sense. they could send around the usherette with their ice creams. revived the interval. you might walk back into a different film and refer that one! we are going to revert to a bit of politics. a fairly desperate plea from the prime minister. in the context of punishment for both parties, particularly the conservatives, it makes sense. otherwise we are heading into the european parliament elections, and the big fear is that the brexit party led by nigel farage will be —— will beat both the conservatives and labour. there is sense in a unity approach but there is still a great deal of scepticism over when he —— over whether any deal will be

forthcoming. am i right in thinking thatis forthcoming. am i right in thinking that is a follow—on to what you just said about the brexit party and the european elections, ? said about the brexit party and the european elections,? there is real fear. you keep topped the poll last time and that could happen again in terms of the brexit party in three weeks. the only way we can avoid european parliament elections is for a deal to be done. but what theresa may doesn't say is where her points of compromise will be. she still talks up her own withdrawal agreement which has been defeated by 58 votes in the commons. for many people today is all about counting the hours until the finale of the fifth season of line of duty tonight. front page. among many papers to have a feature on this. can you handle the stress? we may discover who the mastermind is behind the criminal. there is a quote there from a psychologist who once people against getting too wrapped up in the programme. getting

too stressed can cause psychological damage. clearly people are getting very wrapped up. it's interesting that bodyguard was the big sensation last year and now this one and it is the same guy. and finally enough, 0, by the way, lovely to see you, the man of the superintendent hastings is on andrew marr. —— thank you. the andrew marr show is on bbc one later this morning at 10am. and andrew is here to tell us what is coming up. morning, andrew. the big political guest, john mcdonnell, shadow chancellor. answering some of the questions about that proposed deal with the prime minister. i also have ruth davidson back from maternity leave, the leader of the scottish conservatives. but it is the middle of election season so i am also talking to adam price of sinn fein and sian berry of the greens. adrian dunbar is the most important interview by far! that is to come

later. stay with us, headlines coming up...

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. it's 8:30am, here's a summary of this morning's main news. the prime minister has urged the labour leaderjeremy corbyn to work with her to break the brexit deadlock. writing in the mail on sunday, theresa may claims the local election results show people are fed up with the failure of both main parties to find a way to honour the result of the referendum. talks between labour and the conservatives are to resume on tuesday. dog breeders selling puppies on the black market have been forced to pay back more than £5 million in tax as part of a clamp—down on illegal puppy farming. customs officers found fraudsters making huge profits by breeding puppies on a mass scale, with little regard for their welfare. 0ne dealer was charged more than £400,000.

police commissioners are calling on prosecutors to withdraw a controversial new form forcing victims of crime, including rape complainants, to hand over their mobile phones or risk their attacker walking free. the move was seen as an attempt to improve the thorougness of investigations but the association of police and crime commissioners says it risks undermining the criminaljustice system. when is really and seven palestinians are thought to have died —— palestinians are thought to have died -- one israeli and a seven palestinians are said to have died after the flare—up of violence in the gaza strip. 16 people have been killed, and thousands have been left homeless by cyclone fani, one of the most powerful storms to hit india in 20 years. more than 10,000 villages have been damaged by the cyclone, which made landfall on friday, but indian officials say the early evacuation of more than a million

people saved many lives. the newly—crowned king of thailand has been granting titles to members of the royal family on the second day of elaborate ceremonies marking his coronation. he's the country's first new monarch in nearly seven decades and large crowds are expected to gather on the streets of bangkok later today for a royal procession. the three days of events are intended to symbolise the transformation of the king into a divine being. an investigation has begun into why an aircraft carrying 143 passengers slid off a runway in florida and into a river. the boeing 737 had been chartered by the us military to bring personnel from guantanamo bay in cuba to a military base nearjacksonville. officals say no—one was badly hurt. it's a miracle. it could have ended very... we could be talking about a different story this evening, so i think there's a lot to say about, you know, the professionalism of the folks who helped the passengers off the aeroplane. there's a lot to say about that because it very well could be worse.

asda has been criticised for trying to push through changes to the contracts of thousands of its workers. more than 150 mps have signed a letter saying the new terms could leave employees worse off. asda says the move will bring the company in line with industry standards. egyptian archaeologists have announced the discovery of a burial ground near the pyramids at giza that is 4,500 years old. the site includes several tombs, with the oldest appearing to have belonged to two very senior officials. it's believed that both men served the pharaoh who built the second largest of the pyramids. just extraordinary, and that the keep discovering those as well. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning, and you'll be able to watch our report on goat pilates. and we're also talking

about a new podcast which is hoping to help people better understand ramadan — the islamic month of fasting. all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. it always makes me laugh this point because everyone is watching much of the day on bbc one and if you don't wa nt to the day on bbc one and if you don't want to watch it, you can get it in a minute and a half. it is astonishing that to think that liverpool... it is an fantastic title race and it will go down to the wire now because newcastle beat by the skin of the teeth. the free kick that led to the winning goal inside the last five minutes, was that if i take? doesn't really

matter? about newcastle, they are safe a nyway. matter? about newcastle, they are safe anyway. it certainly matters if you're a man city fan because they now know the pressures on them and they had to go beat leicester tomorrow. jurgen klopp says his liverpool players couldn't have done any more for him this season this season but they almost came unstuck at newcastle last night. they were drawing 2—2 inside the last five minutes but divock 0rigi popped up with what could be a priceless winner. jim lumsden reports. liverpool arrived clean to put their champions league difficulties with barcelona to one side. and virgil van dyke did thatjust after ten minutes. the elite was not to last long. chaotic defending by the visitors ended with christian and to filing home an equaliser. —— in the elite was not to last long. they we re elite was not to last long. they were told they will continue to

cause liver problems and then another goal made it 2—2. a blow to the head and he was swiftly removed from the pitch. within a few minutes left, new life was paid into the title race courtesy of... how can you put pressure when you know your there doing their best. they had to see what the is the outcome so far but 94 points, come on. yet another change at the top. now it is over to you manchester city, this one is going to the wire. also going down to the last day of the season is the race for the last two champions league places, third and fourth. tottenham could have sewn up one of those, but had two players sent off as they were beaten 1—0 at bournemouth. they had plenty of chances to win it but self—destructed either side of half time,

son heung—min was sent off for the first time in his career and one hoist with a nasty challenge. just after he came on at half—time. they looked to have held on for what could have been an important point but nathan ake's injury time header saw them come away with nothing. that will have given hope to arsenal, chelsea and manchester, who all play today. the relegation battle is all over. cardiff had to win to keep themselves alive but lost 3—2 at home to crystal palace. they were never really in it, trailing 2—1 at half—time andros townsend scored palace's third. cardiff pulled one back but they go straight back down to the championship after their promotion last season. misery there would have sparked celebrations in brighton, who cardiff were trying to catch but down they go with fulham and huddersfield. we got relegated, yet it was probably one of my best managerial

seasons in my life. it has been pretty amazing really. i have nothing but praise for everybody, really. they have just got behind us. and it makes such a difference when you're here the crowd like that. i don't think anybody else could envisage a crowd like that when we got relegated. celtic are scottish premiership champions for an eighth year in a row. they sealed it with a 3—0 win at aberdeen it was 1—0 at half—time but they put the game out of sight after the break to take the title with two games to spare . with two games to spare. 0dsonne edouard scored their third at pittodrie. neil lennon's side can still complete the treble treble, another clean sweep of domestic trophies. manchester city have completed the women's cup double. they were too strong for west ham in the fa cup final at wembley. the hammers are in their first season as a professional side and it was goaless at half—time but keira walsh, georgia stanway and lauren hemp scored the city

goals in a 3—0 win to lift the cup for a second time in three years. i think for us, we've got a group of winners and people who want to learn and improve. we have a good brand of youth and experience. —— a good blend of youth and expense. and we will hopefully remain unbeaten this season, we have one more game to go and hopefully we will complete that. four—time champion john higgins is through to the final of the world snooker championship after an epic final frame victory over david gilbert. higgins fought back from five frames down as he beat gilbert 17—16. it's the third year in a row that higgins has made the final, and the eighth of his career. higgins will face judd trump in a repeat of the 2011 final. trump beat qualifier gary wilson by 17 frames to 11 to reach his second world championships final. the best of 35 final begins at 2pm on bbc two today. newcastle falcons have been relegated from rugby union's premiership — they lost at gloucester yesterday, they are 10 points behind leicester tigers with one game left

the first race of motor racing's new w—series. it's aiming to provide female drivers with a greater chance of competing at the highest level. chadwick started from pole in hockenheim in germany and beat compatriot alice powell to the chequered flag. spain's marta garcia was third. i think there are six or seven races in that series, we were talking about it before. it is slightly contentious, but because there are a few women drivers who think it is a bad idea a sort of pigeonholing women drivers. if you look at women in any sport, it tends with a women's fashion of the game. yes. jimmy chadwick did very well and an men's series and it is another platform and it is good prize money and it has great coverage. it is a slightly different audience. i had

went to see man city women play and it... they had a very different crowd there. but like they have new sponsors a new money and everything to stop it has got to be a good thing to stop thank you. it's the tale of the whale that's had experts baffled. this beluga whale was found off the coast of norway with a russian harness strapped to it, and a ‘st petersburg' label. the equipment prompted extraordinary claims the marine mammal is a spy for the russians, but now there are fears it may not be able to fend for itself. jorgen ree wiig was one of the fishery officials called in after the whale was found. he spoke to us earlier. at the moment it is in the city of hammerfest. a lot of people are going there to see the whale and it is seeking contact with humans and it seems that it is ok now actually.

when you first caught sight of this well and so clearly what this harness was attached to it —— caught sight of this whatle, what was going through your mind? it is a really nice, beautiful well to stop i have never seen this on the coast of norway before —— it is a very nice, beautiful whale. i was happy to see it, but then it has this harness on it. i thought, it, but then it has this harness on it. ithought, we it, but then it has this harness on it. i thought, we have to remove this harness because it should not have a harness on it. how difficult an operation was that? presumably called an assistance? yes, i was the assistance that was called in by the fishermen. i am assistance that was called in by the fishermen. iam not assistance that was called in by the fishermen. i am not the fishermen. i work for the government and army and we are specially trained to free wales from fishing gear and —— i work for the government in norway. —— to free the whale from fishing gear. you can see from the pictures

that this will looks like it is co mforta ble that this will looks like it is comfortable around him and contact —— there whale looks comfortable again and human contact. there are suggestions that whales are used for training for some military companies. what is yours idea of the story behind this whale? leg it is possible that it could be trained for military triple stop we know that russians and also the military chain for this purpose. it could be from this commercial company that somebody kept it in containment and then... because russia is going to go shut down other rail whale facilities. they are highly

intelligent animals and beautiful and must look at and there are seriously ethical concerns about exploiting whales in this way? yes, i think it is not right to do it, but some people do it. it is a big ethical question, yes. finally, i know that you are keen, that you try to help guide this whale back to its natural home, where is that? and how are you on that process? it is a very ha rd to are you on that process? it is a very hard to know where it comes from. you have some things in the summertime look is coming down to the coast of norway, so i'm really hoping it willjoin other beluga whales. the lead pinata, so maybe it should be taken back there —— they live up in the arctic, so should be taken back there. fascinating, we still do not know what the harness

was all about and why it was there. it is all rather suspicious. just after 8:45am. 8:45am. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. do not be deceived by dissension, it isa do not be deceived by dissension, it is a cloud stuck to the day. not a bad day ahead. it is going to be less windy that was yesterday and there will be fewer showers around too. quite a lot of dry and a settled weather, despite not quite temperatures around them. higher pressure has been dozing in from the north and that is quitting at many the shows, but raining in this fairly cold northerly wind. less windy for the south—west. we will probably see the best of the sunshine in southern england as well. marco generally for the north of england, north of ireland and

that will turn to snow flurries on top of the high kind in scotland. a brisk pace in the north and a lot of dry weather on the cards today. tom temperatures ranging between nine to 14 degrees. pleasant enough in the south where you do see some sunshine. we are expecting a fairly cloudy sky for the charity auction. stage four making its way from halifax to lead today. —— for the tour de yorkshire. we will see more of the showers across the north of scotland, working thereby sent across tonight. turning to sleet and snow across highland scotland. a little bit more cloud than last night. temperatures generally positive side of reason. last night was a temperature set at minus four degrees. to start your bank holiday monday, we had this cold front pushing said. that will bring a line of cloud and showers. to the north

of cloud and showers. to the north of that, more sunshine present across goal and, equally still a they showers and it will circle. to what they said and said that, mostly dry. a fairly cloudy picture and temperatures somewhere between eight to 30 degrees. not great for this time of year, but it stays cool and cloudy and chesty. further showers cropping up to the day. and more persistent rain later interesting. things are turning quite unsettled, a little bit milder in the south. this area of the pressure pushes closer to the english channel and will bring some strong winds in the sand. some rental, which is welcome in places as it has been very dry over the past couple of months. —— summer rainfall. to enjoy the dry weather, we have some sunshine, but wrap up warm. it is going to be judging the showers a little bit?

thank you very much. it is 8:50am. now we have news of a fitness class with a difference. scotland's first goat pilates class hasjust started in fife. it isa it is a good pilates. yes — we're not kidding you. the organisers were inspired by goat yoga, which has taken america and social media by storm, and our reporter louise cowie has given it a go. now we're breathing in... if you're into yoga you'll be familiar with downward dog, but how do you fancy practising pilates with pygmy goats? laughter

no kidding, that is exactly what we are doing at this class in a bell creek farm in a fight. meet twin sisters mabel and hazel. go to yoga is quite big on the internet so i had seen quite a lot of videos of that and i went to california last took a good yoga class. that and i went to california last took a good yoga classlj that and i went to california last took a good yoga class. i could not stop talking about it so i thought i had to bring us back to scotland and here we are... we always wanted pygmy goats since here we are... we always wanted pygmy goats since we here we are... we always wanted pygmy goats since we got the farm and our mutual friend introduced us tojoe, who and our mutual friend introduced us to joe, who wanted to do good pilates and it was the perfect mix really. the goats love doing it and it gets them to meet different people because they love people so much. they are so sociable. we had the benefit of polarity, core

strength, alignment and the benefits of animal therapy, stress relieving, helps us to relax, helps us release oxytocin, the feel—good hormone. see come away from the class quite joyful. laughter the plank can be quite difficult enough without a goat in tow. certainly a market for the abs. allah pilates, it has —— i love the pilates, it has certainly helped. you just come away so happy and calm. most of us don't get that chance to get so close to goats on a day—to—day basis. chance to get so close to goats on a day-to-day basis. i have been doing pilates for about ten years, and i've been to a number of different

classes and this is just i've been to a number of different classes and this isjust unique. you had these sort of hooves landing on your back, they're heavy but not too heavy. it is not painful. it is a bit like a hot stone massage. but with very? but with far, yes. the classes are filling up fast, so many others it looks like don't mind acting the goat to our fix. you can see more stories like that on bbc scotland every weekday evening at nine o'clock or, if you are not in scotland on the bbc iplayer. it isa it is a very good news bulletin as well. this evening marks the start of ramadan — a month in the islamic calendar where many muslims observe a fast during daylight hours — with some even avoiding using toothpaste. so how do you manage your hunger? and is toothpaste actually banned? well, these are all issues a new bbc asian network let's have a listen

to ‘for fast‘s sake'. (tx i'm sorry, you're a friend of mine, but you're better thanks. are not going to lie, you're not eating, but your breath smells. the first thing about the breath, is that allah has said that he loves the breath of a believer when he is fasting more than anything, more than a mask, more than the nicest ascent in the world, because it is a sign that you have sacrificed something for your lord for the month of ramadan. joining us now are the hosts of ‘for fast‘s sa ke' are yasser ranjha. zayna shaikh.

and shezaad lohar. we are looking forward to everything that ramadan is about, which is improvement. yet have to control your urges and things like that. there is a lot that goes on with it. there is a lot that goes on with it. the excitement definitely overcome the fear. in terms of what you can't, you can't drink water can you? is that right? no. one of my children is doing gcses and he has friends who are observing ramadan, they cannot drink water in a... it isa they cannot drink water in a... it is a real test, isn't it? they cannot drink water in a... it is a realtest, isn't it? it really is. if you're going to faint, do not fast. it is not really that strict to be like, you're fasting and that is it. if you feel that you're going to be slightly ill or you do not think you're strong enough, that is fine just think you're strong enough, that is finejust do not think you're strong enough, that is fine just do not push yourself. most important is your help and you do

not want to damage that thread ramadan. i remember doing my gcses and fasting and the first bet was annoying, but you kind of overcome it and you're doing it for 30 days as well, you have that practice and that the team. the prospect and the hunger and his urges, you overcome them over time. these are conversations you proudly have with friends probably time but not so publicly, it is that —— it is fascinating. we thought yes, why not put it on a public platform. we know everyone has talking about. it is a discussion you can have all the time to stop can i use a toothbrush? had to stop can i use a toothbrush? had to get over the hunger and is of it all? so we thought, let us talk about it. we will think, that has put it out on a public platform, the conversation that we are having. who get hangry? i get a hangry. one of

the biggest things we wanted to buy fasting is god consciousness. —— what we want to achieve by fasting is god consciousness. i think that makes a really special. the fasting which is present in a lot of religions. how do you deal with that under? do you have specific mechanisms you can employ? 0r under? do you have specific mechanisms you can employ? or do yourfamilyjust mechanisms you can employ? or do your family just have mechanisms you can employ? or do your familyjust have to put up at the? most of the time i'm just thinking about samosas all day. really it is about focus. it is conditioning your mind and your soul to know that you're doing something for god and to please him really. it is quite a beautiful thing actually. the idea behind the podcast, obviously you have people who are muslim, who will listen, but this is a really good way for people in the wider population to learn a bit more, isn't it? definitely, it

really is. the beauty of this podcast is a b are not trying to be preachy or educate you on stuff. we're just trying be preachy or educate you on stuff. we'rejust trying be honest. the good comedy bad fasting. we are talking about everything to stop if you are a non—muslim and you're just wondering what fasting is all about, this is the perfect introduction. things like smelly breath we have talked about. and also smelly mosques actually? what is going on there? there is a night prayer. after you have lasted all day, the men will usually go for a night prayer. a few have had a huge meal after fasting for 90 20 hours, we call them the prayer burps. and when standing and doing prayers, people are just burping. anytime a smelly

thing ijust put sent on. you can listen to the podcast and it is available now on the bbc signs up. -- bbc available now on the bbc signs up. —— bbc signs up. that is also from us goodbye. had a good weekend.
