good morning and welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they announce the birth of a baby boy. is every father and parent would ever say, your baby is amazing this little thing is absolutely to die for and little thing is absolutely to die forandi little thing is absolutely to die forand i am little thing is absolutely to die for and i am over the moon. there's excitement in windsor and in meghan‘s home city of los angeles. this morning the world's media are camped close to the sussex's home, waiting for a name and a first sight of the baby himself. schools in england are told

they need to take more responsibility for the pupils they exclude. ditching the commute — as millions of us head back to work after the bank holiday, the number of people now working from home instead hasjumped 75% over the last decade. manchester city are a win away from becoming premier league champions. a sublime goal from captain vincent kompany puts them a point ahead of liverpool, going into the final day. good morning to you from the southern north sea. we are looking at how wind energy and wind turbines can transform coastal communities. more about this across the day. not a lot of women with the forecast but a lot of women with the forecast but a fair bit of cloud, some sunny spells and some showers and still cool for this stage in may. i will have more in 15 minutes.

a very good morning to you. it's tuesday the 7th may. our top story: "it's a boy!" ..were the words that were flashed around the world yesterday. prince harry and meghan have yet to decide on a name and we may have to wait a couple of days for a picture. late last night the duke and duchess of cambridge joined the well—wishers saying they're looking forward to meeting the latest addition to the family. our royal correspondent nick witchell reports. news of baby sussex's birth has been disseminated far and wide, from the bt tower, in central london, to the broadcast media of many countries. it is official, it is a boy! the royal family has welcomed a new member with meghan markle giving birth to a baby boy. breaking news, prince harry hasjust made the announcement, it is a boy. but of baby sussex, of course, there has been no sign. it is now reported that meghan did go to hospital to have the birth induced, dashing her hopes of a home birth. the palace has so far offered no comment. but after the birth had been announced, a clearly delighted harry said there would be a sight of their son in a couple of days.

we'll be seeing you guys in probably two days' time as planned, as a family to be able to share it with you guys so everyone can see the baby. among the things harry and meghan will have to decide now is, of course, a name, and whether they want their son to have a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, he doesn't get one automatically. might these modern royals feel that the life of this anglo—american member of the british royalfamily would be easier without one? they have time to think about that. nicholas witchell, bbc news. so as nick explained, the new baby will not be a prince, unless the queen changes the rules. the last time her majesty did this was in 2012, to make sure all of prince william's children had a royal title. so, what can we expect? let's cross now to buckingham palace and speak to royal historian kate williams. so many congratulations from all over the world. we do not know what

his name will be and whether he will bea his name will be and whether he will be a prince? no, we do not. lots of bets on the name. alexander is a frontrunner. we know the couple wanted to be a name that would have resonance in both the uk and us. alexander is the queens middle name and also alexander hamilton, of course. i and also alexander hamilton, of course. lam and also alexander hamilton, of course. i am expecting something quite traditional. charles and philip might be within that. the title is a big question because, as nicholas was saying, there is no automatic right for this child to have a royal title to be a prince so at current standing he will be an earl. the queen could step in. no—one ever expected monarchs to live so long and have eight grandchildren as the queen now has.

—— great great. grandchildren as the queen now has. -- great great. are they doing things a little bit differently, away from royal tradition? things a little bit differently, away from royaltradition? certainly we saw the both announced on instagram. one minute the duchess was in labour, the next minute it was in labour, the next minute it was born, last time i looked it had 2 million likes. it was first of all oi'i 2 million likes. it was first of all on instagram, they have their own. that is very modern. the photograph that prince harry was talking about, we are expecting to have the photograph on wednesday and then i'iews photograph on wednesday and then news about the name and title stop that photo could be posted on instagram as well. they are, to a large degree, controlling the media message in a very different way, and i think it reflects want to do things differently but also this baby will be seventh in line to the throne and be pushed out in time so

they hope it will have a slightly different life to the average royal. it will not have an ordinary life, but it will have a different life to george, the immediate add to the throne. the state hair. schools will be told to stop using exclusions to boost results from today amid concerns thousands of children are disappearing from classroom registers. a government—backed inquiry led by the former children's minister, edward timpson, demands headteachers be accountable for the exam records of pupils they remove. our education correspondent, frankie mccamley reports. ill—equipped to deal with... ill-equipped to deal with. .. his son had behavioural issues and left a mainstream education and came to this alternative provision school. he isa this alternative provision school. he is a kid who had been through the ca re system he is a kid who had been through the care system anyway, through fostering, so he felt rejected so when we came here, of course, it was

not easy to start with but, for us as parents, the massive sense of relief that our kid was being accepted and people were trying to understand him rather than just wanting him to behave. this is somewhere where the parent... some children survive outside of regular schools but there are concerns others are dropping out of the education system or being off rod. when schools formally remove poorly performing badly behaved pupils to get better reports. a review by edward timpson looking into exclusions found missed opportunities to keep children in mainstream education. that caribbean peoples are most likely to be kicked out and of those who have left school have a higher chance of being exposed to crime. edward timpson‘s

report suggests making schools more accountable for people they exclude. the education secretary says he will introduce all 30 report recommendations. a man arrested on suspicion of abducting and raping three women in and around london is being investigated for other attacks involving nine more victims in north—west england. joseph mccann, who's 3a, was arrested on sunday night in cheshire, after two 14—year—old girls were abducted in congleton. andy moore reports just a mechanic was arrested after a nationwide hard for a man described by police as extremely dangerous. he had already been linked to free rapes in the london area when a reward of £20,000 was offered for information leading to his capture. police said that, on his last day of freedom, is believed to have carried out a series of savage attacks. they

are appalling and grotesque and tha nkfully are appalling and grotesque and thankfully exceptionally rare. he is said to have attacked nine people in the north—west in the space of ten hours. at eight in the morning at heslington, woman was falsely imprisoned. a teenage girl and an ii—year—old imprisoned. a teenage girl and an 11—year—old boy were raised. at 130 p-m-, 11—year—old boy were raised. at 130 p.m., 71—year—old 11—year—old boy were raised. at 130 p. m. , 71—year—old woman 11—year—old boy were raised. at 130 p.m., 71—year—old woman was abducted and raped in manchester. at 3:30 p-m-, and raped in manchester. at 3:30 p.m., 213—year—old and raped in manchester. at 3:30 p. m., 213—year—old boys and raped in manchester. at 3:30 p.m., 213—year—old boys were abducted and a 13—year—old girl was sexually assaulted. at 6:30pm to 13—year—old girls were forced into a cloud which led to a police chase and a collision with another cloud. the suspect fled on foot and was eventually found on a tree. —— car. he is now in the custody of police in london. the inquests are expected

to begin today into the deaths of those who died in the london bridge and borough market attack almost two years ago. eight people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by armed police. the inquests will examine the circumstances of each death as well as how the leader of the attack was able to plan it, even though he was the target of an mi5 investigation. theresa may will meet the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers today as pressure for her to set a firm departure date for brexit intensifies. it is understood that the prime minister will have discussions with sir graham brady after the committee requested "clarity" on when mrs may will stand down and how she might trigger a leadership contest. the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. university of oxford reseachers say concerns that social media is creating a generation of depressed teenagers are overstated and that excessive use of sites like facebook, instagram and twitter are not actually making

youngsters less content. it goes against some of the other research. it does indeed. things like snapchat but i am not sure my teenagers use that, they have probably moved on. more than 5,000 people fell victim to fraud last year while booking a holiday, according to new research. the travel association, abta, says they lost on average more than £1300 each. that includes spending on bogus airline tickets, accommodation or organised tours. the who's who of the celebrity world attended the annual met gala in new york last night where the theme this year was camp. and showing everyone how it's done was lady gaga, who arrived in a billowing pink outfit which was not quite what it seemed at first glance. the singer got changed four times on her way up the red carpet,

making a statement as she stripped down to her underwear. when i first saw that, i thought she had got changed four times but it is all part of the same things. i thought she would be nipping off to the bog and changing into trousers. she is walking up the red carpet and changing four times. a whopping light of football. honestly, i cannot take the strain. we had a late night sunday night because of line of duty and last night it was so tense. i barely slept for two days. it is driving me mad. manchester city are one win away from retaining the premier league title, after an incredible goal from captain vincent kompany securing victory against leicester last night.

it was bonkers. i love the reaction of pep guardiola. city go to brighton on sunday with a one point lead over liverpool. liverpool meanwhile have their own big game tonight against barcelona in the champions league. they need to overturn a 3—0 first leg deficit without mohammed salah and roberto firmino. both injured. judd trump achieves a childhood dream as he claims his first world championship title after a 18—9 victory over four—time champion john higgins. watch this... and tiger woods, who won the masters last month, is presented with the highest american civilian honour during a ceremony at the white house. i wonder if donald trump found him and said, do you want to do the navy suit and red tie? they are wearing the same thing. congratulations to him. i think he will win a few more. i think so. carole with the weather,

i think so. carole with the weather, ithinki i think so. carole with the weather, i think i have brought the sunshine to the couch... how would you describe that colour? lemon. i spotted you from across the room. stop talking. you can certainly say it is right, but it is beautifully bright and we could do with some brightness in the forecast because there is not a huge amount. this picture yesterday was taken in cornwall, but yesterday was a record breaker because we had the lowest temperature recorded on an early bank holiday, may bank holiday, that is. a record since the inception of this back in 1978. only

is. a record since the inception of this back in 1978. 0nly14 degrees. in fact, it was 13.8, it wasn't even 14. in fact, it was 13.8, it wasn't even 1a. temperatures at this stage of the year should be around 13 in edinburgh, 16 in london. what we have today is some more rain, showery rain, and it is going to stay pretty chilly. it is not until later on we see temperatures start to recover, maybe even into next week. also we have got quite a bit of cloud across us today but when it is broken in scotland, for example, it is —6. we also have some wet snow falling in parts of the highlands and county durham. neither should be problematic and as we go through the course of the day we are looking at some showers. you course of the day we are looking at some showers. you can see course of the day we are looking at some showers. you can see where we have got them on our charts, but not all of us will see one. that is the way with showers, but if you catch one it will be heavy and could be thundery as well. a lot of sunshine across the north of scotland stopped 6-8, across the north of scotland stopped 6—8, though. as we head further south, a lot of showers for northern england, northern ireland, coming into north wales, the midlands, into east anglia and m4 corridor, mostly

dry. cloud building in the south—western heralding a bit of a change in our weather. a new area of low pressure coming our way with its attendant fronts. if you have been crying out for rain, it is coming, moving ina crying out for rain, it is coming, moving in a north—westerly direction across england, wales and parts of scotland. it will be accompanied by gusty winds. so through wednesday, there it goes. you can see the progress it is making as it pushes northwards. bumping into the cold airwe will northwards. bumping into the cold air we will see northwards. bumping into the cold airwe will see again northwards. bumping into the cold air we will see again on higher ground in scotland, some wintry nests. behind it, i returned to some sunshine and showers, some of those showers will be heavy and thundery —— wintriness. and a blustery day, especially cold along the east coast, with the wind coming in off the north sea. so look at those temperatures, this is made. 6— eight in the north and something a little bit better as we push further south. 11-15. bit better as we push further south. 11—15. wednesday into thursday, our

low pressure d rifts 11—15. wednesday into thursday, our low pressure drifts off into the near continent. you can see we still have this weather front wrapped across us, $0 have this weather front wrapped across us, so that means we're still going to see some more rain during the course of thursday in the northern half of the country. a little bit drier as push further south, but still temperature—wise, no great shakes, and even in the south we could still see some showers, some of which still have the potential to be heavy and thundery. here are our temperatures, up thundery. here are our temperatures, up to 15. i am glad you are wearing something bright, louise, because there is not a huge amount of sunshine in the forecast. thank you for making me feel better, carol. let's take a look at today's papers. the arrival of the royal baby dominates all the front pages this morning. the daily mirror shows a beaming prince harry, who says he is incredibly proud of his wife and that his baby boy is absolutely to die for. the guardian carries the same picture, and also follows up on a report by the un, which says a million species are at risk of extinction

in the natural world, which would have a knock—on impact for humankind, unless action is taken. the sun also dedicates its front page to the royal baby, and leads with the headline son—rise at windsor, saying the birth hailed a new dawn for the royal family. as you can expect, a number of high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex on the birth of their baby boy. the former us first lady michelle 0bama taking to twitter to say congratulations, meghan and harry. elsewhere, meghan's former co—star in suits just said... another hashtag there for you. and how about this. disney tweeted this

picture of a stained—glass window with a sleeping beauty theme. —— sleeping beauty. it has all gone a bit bonkers, hasn't it? how many pictures do you think in the daily mail? 12? 23. and there are quite a few special editions. souvenir additions, the express had tender, andi additions, the express had tender, and i thought that was messy. there are no pictures, what is in a special edition? history, pictures of harry when he was a baby. what he might be called. i have name guessing here. alexander, alfred. they could go a little bit — you know in america there are a lot of surnames as first names, what about spencer? the duchess mentioned gender neutral grey as a first name.

that was in her lifestyle blog. do you remember in neighbours, whenjoe called this daughter skye? anyway, one of the papers has a double page spread on what meghan has spent on her wardrobe. £360,000. that is a lot of cash. we did a feature on the stuff they will get sent now. the firms with new baby products getting their kit seen in this is absolutely huge. do you rememberthe their kit seen in this is absolutely huge. do you remember the dressing gown that prince george wore when he met barack obama and michelle, flew off the shelves. the biggest selling point for the company, we interviewed them recently. they are saying that they don't want presence, they have named charities. i think this is businesses sending

stuff they want the new baby to be seen in. i am trying to think of a royal baby connection to sport. vincent kompa ny royal baby connection to sport. vincent kompany ended up bringing this kids on last night, in a lovely moment. captain fantastic is the daily telegraph, after that ridiculously brilliant goal which changed everything last night. there was a brilliant stat during the game, it was this first shot from outside the area on target since 2013. but the way that it couldn't have gone more in the top corner, could it? it was like something out ofa could it? it was like something out of a film. there is a travel theme in the business pages, away from the royal wedding, you will be glad to know. two quick stories to bring you. one is that holland, or certainly amsterdam, is banning or discouraging tourists from coming and has given us some statistics of different areas, a small village

with a population ofjust 2500 which is visited every year by 350,000, many coming from china. and capri finally banding the use of single use plastics, and there will be a 50 euros fine if you are seen with nonrecyclable plastic. really quickly, it is quite a small picture but i want to show you this. this is norwich celebrating an incredible achievement, finishing top of the championship. they went on an open top bus tour they have been planning for a long time, saying we are in the premier league, and the yellow bus broke down. it was so bad that the players had to try and push it. they didn't succeed in starting their bus again so they ended up on a proper kind of tourist bus in front of 50,000 fans. theyjust kind of coerced someone. is that where you got your colour inspiration from? i have been saving this. it is

the first thing i have bought in three months and i have been saving it. you have been on a shopping band. you did say i have something for you on monday morning. band. you did say i have something for you on monday morningm band. you did say i have something for you on monday morning. it is tuesday, there is a royal baby, we will have more on all of that later. with plans for three of the biggest wind farms in the world to be built off the norfolk coast, great yarmouth is banking on green energy being a big part of its future. for many, that means a greater choice ofjobs. as part of a day of coverage across the bbc, tim muffett has been looking at the challenges that affect seaside communities, and this morning, he is headed offshore. good morning to you, tim. good morning to you from just off the coast of great yarmouth. we got our drone in the sky for you this morning, bringing you some views of this town. like many coastal areas, there are plus sides and there are downsides of life in great yarmouth. as amazing views, amazing scenery, amazing wildlife, on the other,

flipside, there are many challenges. there are really deprived areas, gcse attainments in great yarmouth are gcse attainments in great yarmouth a re lower gcse attainments in great yarmouth are lower than the national average, and there are other issues as well. so today, right across the bbc news we will be looking at the opportunities and challenges facing this town. i am on a windfarm about 1.5 miles out to this is one of the first offshore wind farms to be built in the uk. we are looking at the challenges and opportunities presented by technology such as this, and seeing how it could affect coastal areas in the years ahead. here is one example of one person's life who has been changed by these giant turbines. big and beautiful, or ugly and imposing? whatever your view, what was one of the first offshore wind farms in the uk has turned around wind life. i was six months's unemployed, found it really

difficult. i was searching for work, opportunities are a hard thing to come by in a seasonal town. the full—time employment rate in great yarmouth is lower than other parts of norfolk and the uk, but the wind turbines aren't just of norfolk and the uk, but the wind turbines aren'tjust producing electricity, but jobs as turbines aren'tjust producing electricity, butjobs as well. and gwyn has landed one. because demand's getting hotter for these wind turbines, there is employment opportunities therefore service technicians, to keep the maintenance up—to—date, and you know, the basic running of them as well. some of the training i've done, i've had to do offshore survival, which meant that i was put into a tank, similar to live kind of situation. well done, guys. you've done well there. you've done working at height training, which gives you a feeling for what it's like being at the top of one of these turbines. emergency descents, these turbines. emergency descents, the operation of the cranes. you think it might be quite basic looking at the turbine, it's just a rotor spinning around in the wind. there's a lot more that goes into

that, electronics, mechanical. seaside towns have challenges, and offshore wind has really improved thejob offshore wind has really improved the job prospects offshore wind has really improved thejob prospects in people and localities, so lots of new opportunities coming in for people to gain sustainable employment. there are now almost 2000 and offshore wind turbines around the uk coast, accounting last year for 8% of uk power generation. some say they spoil the view. gwyn disagrees. it's an industry in its infancy, so it's fantastic. it's a lifeline for great yarmouth. 1000 years ago, a booming fishing industry turned great yarmouth into a thriving town. today, the sea still presents challenges, and opportunities. let's have a quick chat to simon grey from one of the big plays in the sector. what potential does this have for this in coastal areas? this is one of the first one is

installed, and these are comparatively small turbines, two megawatts. looking at yarmouth port, you can see many new ones going in as well, from yarmouth port. the great thing about this is it creates lots and lots ofjobs, particularly in terms of operations and maintenance. and the life of this farm will be about 25—30 years, so it is almost two generations of workers employed on these wind farms. and later we will be discussing this further. as simon was saying, it is notjust the energy they provide, it is the job opportunities as well. so a lot of things to talk about, notjust this morning on breakfast, but right across the bbc today, and other challenges presented for life in great yarmouth as well. more on all this a little later. first, though, let's leave you with some stunning views as we hand to the news, travel and the weather where you are morning. —— this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks.

residents in ilford are calling on the police to publish the names of people who are caught kerb—crawling in their neighbourhood. they say groups of sex workers are ruining one of their high streets, and believe the only way to tackle it is to publicly shame those who use them. if they get ticketed, we should be able to publish their names, and possibly their photographs. i don't know how that would work, but i think we should be able to do that, because, you know, they've tried to engage in a sexual — something that's illegal. the metropolitan police says it hasn't got the power to identify kerb—crawlers, but it is launching a crackdown soon. areas with the largest cuts to funding for youth services are seeing bigger increases in knife crime, according to new research. figures obtained by the all—party parliamentary group on knife crime show westminster was one of the worst—hit areas, cutting spending on services such as youth clubs and youth workers by 91% in the past three years. the council said government cuts have led to difficult funding decisions, and that it is raising funds for youth services in westminster.

where jobs are in short supply. this is the summary of the main stories and congratulations have been flooding in for the duke and duchess of sussex after announcing the birth of their baby boy. they are yet to decide on a name for the seventh in line to the throne but mother and baby are doing incredibly well. the duke and duchess of cambridge are delighted with the news. as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing but this little thing is absolutely to die for so i am overthe thing is absolutely to die for so i am over the moon. concerned thousands of children are disappearing from classroom registers. edward timpson's report

demands had children be accountable for exam records of the peoples they remove. inquests are expected to begin into the depths of those who died in the london bridge and market attacked almost two years ago. people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by police. the inquests will examine the consequences of each death and how the leader was able to planet even though he was a target of an m15 investigation. theresa may will meet the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers today as pressure for her to set a firm departure date for brexit intensifies. it is understood that the prime minister will have discussions with sir graham brady after the committee requested "clarity" on when mrs may will stand down and how she might trigger a leadership contest. the who's who of the celebrity world attended the annual met gala

in new york last night where the theme this year was camp. and showing everyone how it's done was lady gaga, who arrived in a billowing pink outfit which was not quite what it seemed at first glance. the singer got changed four times on her way up the red carpet, making a statement as she stripped down to her underwear. a bit of red carpet action. wearing considerably less than what she started with. you have gone all gravelly. do you need some water, do you want some of these? just leave me alone. shall we get sally to fill the gap. i am surprised you have a voice at all from being up so late. too many late nights. it was worth it yesterday, apart from liverpool fans. are they? might be wearing

red. manchester city are a win away from retaining the premier league. a superb strike from captain vincent kompany earned his side a one—nil win and moved city one point ahead of liverpool going into the final day of the season on sunday. andy swiss reports. so was this is a defining night of this extraordinary title race? as a city celebrated led by their skipper, it felt like it. forthe first 70 minutes it had been engulfed in tension stop lester kept them out. had sergio aguero's cross them out. had sergio aguero's cross the line, he was another. after the break it got even edgier. aguero denied again. the city's sitting slipping away? then captain vincent

company had a devastating effect. commentator: my goodness me, vincent company's commentator: my goodness me, vincent compa ny‘s first goal of commentator: my goodness me, vincent company's first goal of the entire seasonis company's first goal of the entire season is an absolute belter. 0ne company's first goal of the entire season is an absolute belter. one of the goals and one of the moments of this remarkable campaign. that is a goal which will resound and send ripples through foot falling history. lester with a late chance to equalise but they could not take it and the hosts were there. liverpool fans hope there is another twist but city now know they are within reach. it means that if manchester city can beat brighton on sunday, they will be the champions of this extraordinary title race. we played against a very strong team. we found it difficult but,

from the very start, i think we had the right intensity and desire to win this game and we had some very important saves. 0nly win this game and we had some very important saves. only i can defeat casper, right? not too many expecting him to score the goal. i tell you, don't shoot! itell you, don't shoot! nobody wanted him to shoot. liverpool have their own big game to prepare for. they're hosting barcelona at anfield tonight, looking to overturn a 3—0 deficit from the first leg of their champions league semi—final. it's an even taller order given that they'll have to do it without mohammed salah and roberto firmino. to be able to score four goals against barcelona to go through after 90 minutes... doesn't make

life easier but still, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, we will try and everybody knows and thatis will try and everybody knows and that is what we want to show, nothing else. judd trump achieved a childhood dream as he claimed his first world championship title after a 18—9 victory over john higgins. the two shared a record eleven centuries during the course of the match. trump took total control at 12—5 after the first day in sheffield. butjohn higgins showed his fighting spirit to ensure a final session last night. but it was trump who collected the £500,000 in prize money. the first player in history to win a million in a season. my my dad is the biggest fan in the world so it is inspiring to see motivation and snooker. they have been some tough times and bad losses but just the been some tough times and bad losses butjust the inspiration to really win it for him has got me through. from one trumpet to another. that's a sentence i have been wanting to say for so long.

and finally, a man whose career kicked off over two decades ago — tiger woods was presented with america's highest civilian honour in washington. the fifteen—time major winner was presented with the presidential medal of freedom, introduced byjohn f kennedy in 1963. it looks like they got dressed by the same taylor. i would go in for different outfits... he does not have the ribbon straight. it is bothering you. it is. will you tell usa bothering you. it is. will you tell us a little bit about what you one? idid not us a little bit about what you one? i did not win. she is 15th in the world. and if the aqua bike championship. in her age group! laughter. i was cycling... championship. in her age group! laughter. iwas cycling... iwas swimming ona laughter. iwas cycling... iwas swimming on a lake. you need to explain what it is. anyway, thank you very much. 15th in the world in

my age group. stick to the first bit. it was an announcement keenly awaited by royal watchers up and down the country. and yesterday, the news came— the duchess of sussex had given birth to a healthy baby boy. but it wasn'tjust cause for celebration here in the uk. the baby is of course half american, something which has greatly pleased, and excited, royal superfans state—side. it's a boy! prince harry and his wife meghan are new parents today... the royal baby has arrived and the prince is visibly excited! well, the duchess of sussex gave birth this morning to a baby boy. it is exciting news... as us networks delivered the news they'd been waiting for in windsor, los angeles woke up to hear the first anglo—american royal baby had arrived. i think that's amazing and being a black woman, i'm really proud that we can have a royal black woman in leadership so that's awesome.

we're very happy about the news. yeah, it's great. and we wish them all the best. and many more. may the royal family continue to thrive. a baby is a baby is a baby, right? but it's probably adorable. it's a busy time at this la charity that helps children in need. that's in part thanks to baby sussex. it's enjoyed a major boost since it became the only organisation in the united states the royal couple approved to accept gifts in celebration of their child's birth. it was an amazing surprise and when we saw it and everyone saw it, because we got a million phone calls and then all of a sudden the uptick in donations was incredible. there's something different about the royals attention than there is about an actress' attention. now, while angelenos wait with the rest of the world to see the new face of the royal family,

speculation continues on what his name will be. they should name the something like 0cean or something. it should be like an la name like river... just like keep naming then harries. herbert. i think that's fitting. if a boy, name him dikembe mutombo. hancock, perhaps. whatever they decide upon, people here are keen to welcome baby sussex on any future, if not his first, royal tour. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. let's get a bit more from the us. kristen meinzerjoins us from new york. thank you for talking to us this morning. i know you are obsessed with the royal family. tell us how the news went down with you and people in america? 0h, the news went down with you and people in america? oh, my gosh, the whole nation is overjoyed. michelle

0bama was tweeting, hell and the generous, real housewife, this is such a momentous event. ——lm the generous. the news is one thing, what about the significance? has this ever happened before? an american and an anglo all in one, a royal. maybe this could be a future president and a king. not only is the excitement of nations been brought together through this baby but also we cannot overstate what an enormous historical moment is that we have a child of mixed race heritage, who is black and white, coming into this world, really ushering in part of the modern error much like meghan. i can tell you're

clearly excited but what is the public opinion of meghan markle in the us? where is her public persona at the moment? people in the usjust adore her. they see her as somebody who is a little bit more like everybody else in the world, like the commonwealth, in terms of her complexion, ideals, identities. the fa ct complexion, ideals, identities. the fact she is an outspoken feminist, she has been a humanitarian and cared about issues of class, immigration, for her entire career. she is famous for being an actor but she is the platform to do just more than appear on screen and now she is able to do that completely is a member of the royal family and we arejust a field member of the royal family and we are just a field to have somebody who represents us in the palace. —— just thrilled. were you a royal

superfan just thrilled. were you a royal super fan before meghan markle?|j have always been a royal watcher. the very first royal wedding i got to experience was the first wedding i got to experience period. diane and charles. my whole family are anglo files and things just went into overdrive with meghan, her being one of us, an american. i was one of the 20,000 people in windsor cheering almost a year ago. i have been with them all along but i am with them even more now. we are awaiting a name and picture. what do you think she might go for? in the way they announced the birth, on social media, i think they have a history of slating going off piece, do you think they will do that with the name? some of our friends think

he might be named spencer in honour of princess diana, but it is a bit of princess diana, but it is a bit ofa of princess diana, but it is a bit of a stretch. i think it would be very interesting if he had the name albert, in honour of victoria and albert, in honour of victoria and albert, another great love story, two people who adored each other, who were royals but also just fabulously in love with each other, just like harry and meghan. can i ask you how long you will be wearing your fascinate for? roughly one year. it is magnificent, thank you very much. and thank you very much for talking to us on bbc breakfast this morning. he can be president and king, but he is seventh in line for the throne. don't you dare pour scorn on that

opinion. so much excitement about all of that, and i have brought the sunshine to the sofa this morning, because i don't think there is much around. good morning, everybody. another cool day ahead, cooler yesterday and we have some rain and showers in the forecast. what is happening as we have low pressure coming in from the south—west. if you want more substantial rain, it is coming our way, but look at the lack of isobars on the charts. hardly a breath of wind today, and quite a few showers. they should be slow—moving because there is nothing to move them along. yesterday's weather front is still producing these showers across northern england, northern ireland and north wales, some into the midlands and east anglia. south of the m4 there will be a lot of dry weather and we will see some sunny skies. as the low pressure approaches we will see some cloud built and showers arrive. not all of us will see the showers, they are in northern ireland, southern scotland,

some in the hills of scotland will be wintry in nature. but in between, still a fair bit of dry weather and brightness. the sunniest skies are likely to be across the far north of scotla nd likely to be across the far north of scotland in the far south of england. the temperature—wise, not particularly good for this stage in may. in edinburgh at this time of year it should be about 13, in london about 16, so that you an idea, and cooler along the north sea coastline. as we head onto the evening and overnight period, here comes the low pressure with its rain. the wind will pick up as well, it will be quite gusty as this approaches, and it will be moving steadily northwards and eastwards through the course of the night. ahead of it, where we have clear skies in scotland, where it is also dry, temperatures will fall. at the moment they are —6 in some areas, so another cold night to come. as we head on through tomorrow, the rain continues to advance across england and wales, getting into southern parts of northern ireland and also southern, central and eastern scotland. behind that, for the rest

of england and wales, it will brighten up, there will be some sunshine. as temperatures rise, we are likely to see some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. and to the north of it you can see how the cloud builds. there could be a little bit of brightness, perhaps, but we are not immune to some showers here, either. as we had from wednesday into thursday, the low pressure system drifts off into the near continent. we still have this area which will bring some rain across the northern half of the uk. for the south, again brighter skies, but nonetheless there will still be some showers, and some of those could also be heavy and thundery. temperatures by then, 15 in london, only eight or nine in aberdeen, but it still will feel cool on the north sea coast. thank you very much, see you in half—an—hour. sea coast. thank you very much, see you in half-an-hour. that and of rain isa you in half-an-hour. that and of rain is a bit annoying, isn't it? -- that band of rain. many of us will be heading back

to work this morning after the bank holiday weekend, but research for this programme has found a big increase in the number of people working from home in the last ten years. ben has got more on this. it isa it is a huge increase. if you have the morning blues, you are not alone. we asked the the office for national statistics to crunch some stats for us on their labour force survey. it is the largest household study in the uk that looks at how and where people are working. they found that a huge jump in the number of people who worked mainly from their own home. it is up 74% in the last ten years, from 884,000 in 2008 to 1.54 million in 2018. soa so a rise of about 74% over that. and we're seeing an increase in people who work in different places, with their home as a base. 200,000 more people worked like that at the end of last year than they did ten years before, up to 2.6 million. what impact does that have on workers? well, it means there is more flexibility for staff, and it keeps costs down for firms.

a third of home workers feel more productive at home than in the office. but the charity mind say more of us working from home could leave us feeling isolated and lonely. and you could also be more distracted at home, affecting how much work you actually do. we don't have that work feel with our colleagues and friends that you might get to see in the workplace. so how do you avoid all those distractions? we asked these remote workers in manchester. i like the flexibility of it, of being able to go out there and meet other people. so it is a lot more enjoyable, because you can go out, whereas if you stay at home, you start procrastinating and doing things that you shouldn't be doing. it is really hard if you are working from home, because you think five more minutes, five more minutes. and you find yourself working until 10pm

at night. working like this for me is brilliant. i get up and go to work and when i leave, my laptop goesin work and when i leave, my laptop goes in my bag and i don't look at it until the next day. isolation is a big factor. if i work at home for two or three days on a bounce without seeing other people, i tend to get cabin fever. sol without seeing other people, i tend to get cabin fever. so i often go to cafe 's and co— working spacesjust for that interaction. i find it helps my productivity as well as my motivation if i can be around other people, and that is what i miss from not working in an office. so some of the pros and cons from working in a shared office space. you might think it is good news if you can deal with those problems, but there are some noticeable exceptions. marissa mayer, as chief exec of yahoo in 2013, famously banned working from home to encourage greater cohesion in her workforce. she drove in and realise the car park was empty, and she logged in and found out they weren't doing very much. she said technology

enables us to do so much more stuff from home, which is great, but the problem is that isolation and communication. she says it is all about the communication and getting people to talk to each other is where some of the biggest ideas came from. if you are working at home, sometimes you just never stop.|j would lack discipline, i think. starting very late in the day. and ending very early. lucky you have to come in here. kevin pietersen is taking aim at rhino poachers. a new podcast follows hi m rhino poachers. a new podcast follows him as he tries to save the endangered mammals from extinction. kevin pietersen, the maverick south african batsman who brought england to glory, but whose talents and temperament was the cause of constant controversy.

he has retired now, after all that drama, relaxing at home in south africa. but what happened in my england cricket career is so far gone from anything that i'm doing now, in any walk of life that i'm in at the moment. and i actually feel sorry for people that now harbour things that happened such a long time ago. it is what it is, it happened, and it's such a long time ago in my mind that i've forgotten. now, he says he has got a new fight, trying to save the rhino in south africa from the scourge of illegal poaching. rhinos are killed for their horn, which reaches thousands of dollars on the black market, an irresistible target in areas of poverty. in this area, the biggest problem is poaching. it's like a drug. it's swallowing up all the young people. because of unemployment, they end up doing this poaching because it's the

only way financially that they can get themselves stable, and they end up get themselves stable, and they end up really so involved in this thing that they cannot quit. the poachers are persistent. they scramble through the vastness of the african bush to hunt their prey, often walking for days to reach it. and it all leads to scenes like this. a rhino, a mother, killed just days ago, shot by poachers. its calf also killed. we've come here to see it for ourselves. the front line in the bloody war against poaching. and what we've found is that it is increasingly an insidejob. because even those supposed to be protecting the rhinos can be helping the gangs that kill them. it's not only the communities outside, arresting field agents, people that have gone on raids with

you. a critically endangered species needs all the help it can get. it pains me, it hurts me, and emotionally, it really affects me. we're not the ones that are being killed. those animals are being killed. they do not deserve it. they're an iconic species in africa. they represent and symbolise what's so good about this continent, and i want to save them. you can listen to that on bbc sounds. you are watching breakfast. still to come this morning: what do you get the baby who has everything? the kingdom choir, who performed at harry and meghan's wedding last year, will be here to tell us about the lullaby they have written especially for the royal baby. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. residents in ilford are calling on the police to publish the names of people who are caught kerb—crawling in their neighbourhood. they say groups of sex workers are ruining one of their high streets, and believe the only way to tackle it is to publicly shame those who use them. if they get ticketed, we should be able to publish their names, and possibly their photographs. i don't know how that would work, but i think we should be able to do that because, you know, they've tried to engage in a sexual — in something that's illegal. the metropolitan police says it hasn't got the power to identify kerb—crawlers, but it is launching a crackdown soon. areas with the largest cuts to funding for youth services are seeing bigger increases in knife crime, according to new research. figures obtained by the all—party parliamentary group on knife crime

show westminster was one of the worst—hit areas, cutting spending on services such as youth clubs and youth workers by 91% in the past three years. the council said government cuts have led to difficult funding decisions. st paul's cathedral will hold its first ever iftar at sunset tonight to mark the end of the day's ramadan fast for muslims. under the dome, the mayor of london will break his fast at the event hosted by the bishop of london. also attending will be the chief rabbi and over 100 young people, some with no faith and others from different religions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are minor delays on the circle and district line,

and severe delays on hammersmith & city lines this morning. 0n the roads, you can see from the camera there in wapping, this is just off the highway, dock street is closed northbound for roadworks. at city airport, connaught road is busy near hartman road because of gasworks. and hammersmith bridge remains closed for emergency repairs. now the weather. good morning. well, after a chilly few days, the bank holiday weekend, of course, it does really continue in the same vein. rather variable today, largely dry, with some hazy, sunny spells. it will feel just a little bit warmer. the temperature not quite as chilly as it has been. now, the sunshine gradually turning hazy through the afternoon. we mayjust see one or two isolated showers. if you get one, could be quite heavy. temperatures today getting up to around 15 celsius. we've got quite a gentle south—westerly breeze. now, overnight tonight, some clear spells, and then the cloud will thicken. through the second part of the night, the rain arrives, some heavy bursts of rain. it's persistent, really not very pleasant at all, and the wind will strengthen. minimum temperature between seven and nine celsius.

for tomorrow morning, still rather damp, still outbreaks of rain. you've got some heavy showers through the day. similar for thursday, not quite as many showers. we'll get some sunny spells, and the temperature slowly, as we head into next week, starts to rise again. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it is back to dan and louise. good morning and welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they announce the birth of a baby boy. as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is amazing but this little thing is absolutely to die for and i am over the moon. there's excitement in windsor and in meghan's home city of los angeles. this morning the world's media

are camped close to the sussex's home, waiting for a name and a first sight of the baby himself. a lot of shot of windsor castle this morning. we will be there shortly to speak to our correspondence and to somebody who knows all about royal etiquette. schools in england are told they need to take more responsibility for the pupils they exclude. ditching the commute — as millions of us head back to work after the bank holiday, the number of people now working from home instead hasjumped 75% over the last decade. captain marvel is the superhero for manchester city. manchester city are a win away from becoming premier league champions. a sublime goal from captain vincent kompany puts them a point ahead of liverpool, going into the final day. good morning from great yarmouth,

across bbc news, we're looking at the challenges and opportunities facing coastal towns and cities. what might these do. today family cloudy with hefty showers. i will have more in 15 minutes. a very good morning to you. it's tuesday the 7th may. our top story: "it's a boy!" ..were the words that were flashed around the world yesterday. and because they related to the first son of a royal prince and a hollywood star, the congratulatons came pouring in. prince harry and meghan have yet to decide on a name and we may have to wait a couple of days for a picture. late last night the duke and duchess of cambridge joined the well—wishers saying they're looking forward to meeting the latest addition to the family. 0ur royal correspondent nick witchell reports. news of baby sussex's birth has been disseminated far and wide, from the bt tower, in central london, to the broadcast media of many countries. it is official, it is a boy!

the royal family has welcomed a new member with meghan markle giving birth to a baby boy. breaking news, prince harry hasjust made the announcement, it is a boy. but of baby sussex, of course, there has been no sign. it is now reported that meghan did go to hospital to have the birth induced, dashing her hopes of a home birth. the palace has so far offered no comment. but after the birth had been announced, a clearly delighted harry said there would be a sight of their son in a couple of days. we'll be seeing you guys in probably two days' time as planned, as a family to be able to share it with you guys so everyone can see the baby. among the things harry and meghan will have to decide now is, of course, a name, and whether they want their son to have a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, he doesn't get one automatically. might these modern royals feel that the life of this anglo—american member of the british royalfamily would be easier without one? they have time to think about that. nicholas witchell, bbc news.

with the world ‘s media still camped out at windsor, when will be get a glimpse of the new baby. let's speak to sarah campbell in windsor. good morning. prince harry was talking about two days from yesterday we mightfind about two days from yesterday we might find out a name and maybe see this royal baby. what are you hearing? exactly. we would expect to see those images tomorrow but i would not put a bet on anything. we we re would not put a bet on anything. we were not expecting to see prince harry give that press conference but he was clearly bursting with pride and wanting to share the news. we are expecting images tomorrow. it will not be a big parade in front of banks of cameras. we expectjust one camera to be invited into windsor to

ta ke camera to be invited into windsor to take those pictures, again illustrating that it is harry and meghan dictating how they want the both revealed to the world, if you like. maybe sussex is now with his mother and grandmother at frogmore cottage, deep in windsor‘s estate. we also heard a statement from thomas michael, the baby's grandfather, who said he is delighted to hear mother and child are doing well. he said he is proud that his grandson is born into the british royal family. lots of speculation on names, alexander, arthur. huge excitement in the us media. ican arthur. huge excitement in the us media. i can hear some australian voices. huge excitement around the world. the changing of the guard will be playing, what else,

congratulations. let's go to buckingham palace and kate williams. how much are they breaking with tradition? we do not know whether he will be the prince or not? as things stand, he will not be a prince because he is a great—grandchild of a monarch and not directly in line to the prince of wales. if charles becomes king, he will qualify. it is possible the queen may give the little baby the title prince now but as things stand, the baby will be earl of dumbarton. it may be that the royal couple will choose not to have a title at all. just as princes and's children. —— princes an. we

also find out he will be the god pa rents, also find out he will be the god parents, willoughby serena williams, george clooney? we will expect to hear more in the next couple of days. the inquests are expected to begin today into the deaths of those who died in the london bridge and borough market attack almost two years ago. eight people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by armed police. the inquests will examine the circumstances of each death as well as how the leader of the attack was able to plan it, even though he was the target of an m15 investigation. a man arrested on suspicion of abducting and raping three women in and around london is being investigated for other attacks involving nine more victims in north—west england. joseph mccann, who's 34, was arrested on sunday night in cheshire, after two 14—year—old girls were abducted in congleton. police say they want to hear from anyone who they believe might have been approached by him or who has

had been approached by him or who has ha d co nta ct been approached by him or who has had contact with him between february and may. theresa may will meet the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers today as pressure for her to set a firm departure date for brexit intensifies. it is understood that the prime minister will have discussions with sir graham brady after the committee requested "clarity" on when mrs may will stand down and how she might trigger a leadership contest. the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. university of oxford reseachers say concerns that social media is creating a generation of depressed teenagers are overstated and that excessive use of sites like facebook, instagram and twitter are not actually making youngsters less content. more than 5,000 people fell victim to fraud last year while booking a holiday, according to new research. the travel association, abta, says they lost on average more than £1300 each. that includes spending on bogus airline tickets, accommodation or organised tours.

the who's who of the celebrity world attended the annual met gala in new york last night where the theme this year was camp. and showing everyone how it's done was lady gaga, who arrived in a billowing pink outfit which was not quite what it seemed at first glance. the singer got changed four times on her way up the red carpet, making a statement as she stripped down to her underwear. katy perry took the volume up a little bit with a chandelier dress and hat. she was dressed as a chandelier. lady gaga changed four times as she made her way up the red carpet. did you see the fellow who

took the top of the... can we show that again? no. he had a belt with all sorts of things just in case there was something out of place. quite extraordinary pictures from the met gala. there are fears thousands of vulnerable children are disappearing from school registers because teachers are using exclusions to get rid of students they think might lower results. a report suggests many of those pushed out are from vulnerable backgrounds, with the education secretary, damian hinds, saying too many are "falling through the cracks". ill—equipped to deal with his behavioural issues... jez benstoke's son had behavioural issues. he left a mainstream education and came to this alternative provision school.

he is a kid who had been through the care system anyway, been through fostering, so he felt rejected so when we came here, of course, it was not easy to start with but, for us as parents, the massive sense of relief that our kid was being accepted and that people were trying to understand him rather than just wanting him to behave. so you can see, this is somewhere where the parent... some children thrive outside of regular school, but there are concerns others are dropping out of the education system or being off—rolled, where schools informally remove poorly performing or badly behaved pupils to get better 0fsted reports. a review by the former children's minister, edward timpson, looking into exclusions, found missed opportunities to keep children in mainstream education. black caribbean peoples are most likely to be kicked out and those who have left school have a higher chance

of being exposed to crime. mr timpson's report suggests making schools more accountable for peoples they exclude. the education secretary damian hinds says he will introduce all 30 report recommendations. frankie mccamley, bbc news. to discuss this, he joins us now from westminster. looking at the figures, most people excluded have special education needs all come from poor backgrounds. is it fair to say it is failing vulnerable children? to understand fully how differences in exclusion — what we used to call expulsion and suspension — fracture different group of children. the stash affects. there is an important role for exclusion. it is not

something that schools do lightly but you have to think about all the kids in the class, the teachers and staff as well and there is a role for exclusion but we have to make sure it is done properly and fairly an understanding these differential impacts is a reason for the study. an understanding these differential impacts is a reason for the studylj get the feeling that many teachers and head teachers are watching this thinking, why is it some of the blame coming back on schools and the suggestions of of rolling when it is down to resources and particularly pastoral care. the report says there is no ideal number of exclusions but there is a role for it. they are out to—

there is a role for it. they are out to — that they are at a lower level than they have been. edward timpson has spoken to local schools, pa rents, has spoken to local schools, parents, to understand the variation system. two schools in the same area, different areas. we will respond to this report in a number of different ways, including tightening the guidance to schools and taking the biggest single recommendation which is around changing the accountability system so, that as it were, the outcomes for kids who are expelled stay with the schools. so everybody is aligned in the same way for the future of that child. i understand that. but if off rolling is an issue, isn't that about the pressure the schools are under? schools do an amazing job

and it can be a pressurejob. i very much accept that. we believe it is quite a small... happens in a minority of cases. the majority of schools are not doing it. but in the new 0fsted framework, it is something they will look. we make sure we tighten the definition. it is not legal to off role. it should be done through normal processes, the way a child leaves school. some people say there are grey areas and iam going people say there are grey areas and i am going to make sure the new guidelines have no room for misunderstanding. it is not a big practice but quite small but nevertheless it is one of concern and we will act on it. in terms of that balance, there was a recent survey and 1600 teachers, they were

saying 30% of primary heads had chosen to reduce teacher numbers and 34% had been forced to cut teaching assista nts 34% had been forced to cut teaching assistants to try and stay within budget. this is where these pressures a re budget. this is where these pressures are coming from, isn't it, a lack of funding in the system? there are pressures in the system and it is difficult managing school budgets, i don't deny that. there are more teachers in the system and more teaching assistants in the system more teaching assistants in the syste m tha n more teaching assistants in the system than 2010, but as i say, there are financial pressures. there is no getting away from that, and i have said so before. but when we talk about exclusions, you know, there is a considerable difference in the number of exclusions between areas, between schools within an area, and as i say, also, of course, the level of exclusions is lower thanit the level of exclusions is lower than it was ten years ago. yes, we have seen this up with trend in the last few years, but it is still lower than it was ten years ago. that is one of the other things i wa nted that is one of the other things i wanted to talk to you about today, in addition with what is happening

in education, which is theresa may meeting with the committee, number ten talking about that as a routine meeting but surely that puts increasing pressure on her, doesn't it, for a timetable about stepping down? well, the prime minister has already been clear and straightforward that... about what she will do, that she will see through this first phase of brexit, and we have had those discussions already. i don't think you should read too much into the fact that the prime minister is meeting the chairman of the 1922 committee, that happens as a matter of course, it is normal and right that those kinds of discussions take place, and as you say, another one today. discussions take place, and as you say, another one todaylj discussions take place, and as you say, another one today. i appreciate it is routine, but the circumstances are interesting, aren't they? and there is great pressure on your party and on the prime minister herself to try even harder to reach a deal with the labour party. herself to try even harder to reach a deal with the labour partylj think you said circumstances are interesting. i think that is putting

it mildly. circumstances are difficult at the moment. we have had some disappointing local election results last week, disappointing for us. we lost some great counsellors, hard—working us. we lost some great counsellors, ha rd—working counsellors. us. we lost some great counsellors, hard—working counsellors. also disappointing for the labour party. i think the signal from the public, who voted many different ways as people did in local elections, but the signal was disappointment and frustration and wanting us to get on with it. and that does mean we do need to find a way through, and part of that is these discussions with the labour party. appreciate your time this morning, thank you very much for talking to us. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. and it is not very bright out there, is it? for many, we have some showers, some rain, and across parts of cou nty showers, some rain, and across parts of county durham and the highlands we have some wet snow as well. this

isa we have some wet snow as well. this is a beautiful weather watcher‘s picture from ashburn in derbyshire, thank you for all of your weather watcher ‘s' pictures. we will show more through the course of the morning. it will remain cool today, some rain and also some showers in the forecast, but some of us will see some sunshine. if it is rain you want, this area of low pressure coming our way later will bring in heavy rain and stronger winds as we go through the evening, overnight and tomorrow. so this morning there isa and tomorrow. so this morning there is a lot of dry weather around, but we do have some showers courtesy of a breaking weather front heading across southern scotland, northern ireland and into northern england. as we push further south into the midlands, we will also see further showers through the course of the day. some of those will be heavy and thundery. some drier conditions south of the m4 but in the southwest weather front means it will cloud over and we will see some rain. still some showers in northern ireland and southern scotland through the course of the afternoon, some of those wintry on higher ground in scotland. in between, we will see some sunshine, the

brightest guys in northern scotland and southern england. temperature is 15 degrees in the south but only six or seven in the north. and if you are on this north sea coastline once again, it will feel pretty cool today. as we head through the evening and overnight, here comes our low pressure, preceded by some showers, and the rain comes in. the winds are strengthening, gusty winds accompany this area of low pressure as it continues to move across england and wales, fringing into southern parts of northern ireland. for the rest of northern ireland and also scotland, where we have got some clear skies, it will be a cold night, not as cold as we push further south. if we pick up the progression of that rain tomorrow, still gusty winds around it, it continues to migrate northwards through northern england, north wales, into northern ireland, southern, central and eastern scotland. behind it we are looking at some sunshine coming through. as temperatures rise, that will spark off some showers, and some of the showers in england and wales could

be heavy and thundery. ahead of this band of rain, the cloud will build. we will hang onto some sunshine for the longest in the very far north of scotland, but again, temperatures no great shakes. 6— nine in the north, 11 to 15 in the south. we are not done with the high—pressure, even as we move from wednesday into thursday. you can see how it drifts into the north sea, but we have this wraparound weather front and for the northern half of the country on thursday it will be cloudy and wet at times. further south a bit brighter, but still some beefy showers are expected and some of those could be thundery. temperatures disappointing for this stage in may. it is, isn't it? thank you very much and we will see you a little bit later. let's take a look at today's papers. the arrival of the royal baby dominates all the front pages this morning. the daily mirror shows a beaming prince harry, who says he is incredibly proud of his wife and that his baby boy is absolutely to die for.

the guardian carries the same picture, and also follows up on a report by the un which says a million species are at risk of extinction in the natural world, which would have a knock—on impact for humankind, unless action is taken. the sun also dedicates its front page to the royal baby, and leads with the headline sonrise at windsor, saying the birth hailed a new dawn for the royal family. the daily star have american actress has a baby. if you really don't care, read pages 1— six and 8—48. the daily mail have 23. and quite a few special souvenir additions, the daily mail have 23. and quite a few specialsouveniradditions, or royal pullouts. a number of high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex on high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex on the high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex on the birth high—profile figures have joined those congratulating the duke and duchess of sussex on the birth of their baby boy. former us first lady michelle 0bama took to twitter and

said... along tweet from patrickj adams. and disney tweeted this picture of a window with sleeping beauty, saying... the queen's former press secretary dickie arbiter is outside buckingham palace for us now. very good morning to you. as predicted, so many people around the world a re predicted, so many people around the world are very excited about this. do you think they are doing things a little bit differently? what is your opinion of how this has gone? well, i think it has gone very well. they

have done things a bit differently. traditionally... well, not so much traditionally, in the past, babies have been born at st mary's hospital, paddington. the queen's four children were born at home, princess margaret's children were born at home, the queen and princess margaret were actually born at home. so actually a home birth is nothing new. whether this one was a homebirth, we still need to find out. because there certainly didn't seem to be any movement at windsor castle over sunday into monday morning. but there are so many entrances, and frogmore cottage is tucked well into windsor home park private, and it would have been difficult to spot. it would be nice to think it has been a homebirth, we will have to wait and see until the birth certificate is released. and it is quite different from what we have seen recently. we saw the press with recent royal babies stacked around the wing, they have managed

to keep things quiet. well, they have kept things quiet, but not quiet in windsor town centre, where there are dozens of cameramen, dozens there are dozens of cameramen, d oze ns of there are dozens of cameramen, dozens of photographers. not getting a lot, doing a lot of pieces to camera and talking to royal experts and royal commentators. but they have got away from this sort of big media circus outside the hospital, which was very disruptive to the hospital. it was disruptive to people going into hospitalfor treatment or visiting, disruptive in the cafeteria. it was taken over by the cafeteria. it was taken over by the media. disruptive to traffic. so they have done it a different way, andi they have done it a different way, and i think they have probably done at the right way, set a bit of a trend in the way they are releasing a photograph, which will probably be done tomorrow. it will be done very privately. there is one television camera, one reporter, and then it will be released to the world, instead of a gaggle of photographers, something like 200 photographers, something like 200 photographers and dozens of television crews doing stand—up as the royal couple in the past have

come out of hospital. it is also not a burden on the royal mother, because what mother really, after having given birth, after a most traumatic period, wants to get dressed up in her best party frock, made up to the nines, hair with not a strand out of place, to walk up and face the media. that is really the last thing you want to do. but if you are producing an heir to the throne, that is what you have to do. tell us about the name, as well. we don't know yet whether he might or might not be a prince. well, we don't know whether he is going to be a prince, we don't know whether he is going to have a title, he could be called the earl of dumbarton. i think harry and meghan are modern thinking and they will not do any favours to their little boy if they give him a title. look at peter phillips and zara tindall, they have managed without royal titles quite well, and will the baby really want a royal title to get on in the

world ? a royal title to get on in the world? my guess is probably not. as far as names world? my guess is probably not. as faras names are world? my guess is probably not. as far as names are concerned, the book is fancy arthur, james has been thrown in the pot, so has alexander, i personally favour albert, it shortens to betty, rolls off the tongue, arthur is a reasonable royal name “— tongue, arthur is a reasonable royal name —— bertie. the prince of wales is an arthur, and other royal men are named after. we have to wait and see. they have a list, and they are going to let us know in the fullness of time. meanwhile, speculation as to names will continue. thank you very much indeed forjoining us outside buckingham palace. alexander i saw being thrown around, an american guest suggested spencer, spencer sussex. they have a tendency to do things slightly differently. as you said, so many things we don't know. we have weeks of this. what about dave?

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. two teenagers are in a critical condition in hospital after they we re condition in hospital after they were stabbed in north london, in incidence the police are linking. the 17 and 18—year—old were found within ten minutes of each other half of mile apart in islington yesterday afternoon. no arrests have been made and a stop—and—search area is in place across the borough. residents in ilford are calling on the police to publish the names of people who are caught kerb—crawling in their neighbourhood. they say groups of sex workers are ruining one of their high streets, and believe the only way to tackle it is to publicly shame those who use them. if they get ticketed, we should be able to publish their names, and possibly their photographs. i don't know how that would work, but i think we should be able to do

that because, you know, they've tried to engage in a sexual — in something that's illegal. the metropolitan police says it hasn't got the power to identify kerb—crawlers, but it is launching a crackdown soon. st paul's cathedral will hold its first ever iftar at sunset tonight to mark the end of the day's ramadan fast for muslims. under the dome, the mayor of london will break his fast at the event hosted by the bishop of london. also attending will be the chief rabbi and over 100 young people, some with no faith and others from different religions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. severe delays on hammersmith & city

line and district line this morning. 0n the roads, you can see from the camera there in wapping, this is just off the highway, dock street is closed northbound for roadworks. at city airport, connaught road is busy near hartman road because of gasworks. now the weather. good morning. well, after a chilly few days, the bank holiday weekend, of course, it does really continue in the same vein. rather variable today, largely dry, with some hazy, sunny spells. it will feel just a little bit warmer. the temperature not quite as chilly as it has been. now, the sunshine gradually turning hazy through the afternoon. we mayjust see one or two isolated showers. if you get one, could be quite heavy. temperatures today getting up to around 15 celsius. we've got quite a gentle south—westerly breeze. now, overnight tonight, some clear spells, and then the cloud will thicken. through the second part of the night, the rain arrives, some heavy bursts of rain. it's persistent, really not very pleasant at all, and the wind will strengthen. minimum temperature between seven and nine celsius. for tomorrow morning, still rather

damp, still outbreaks of rain. you've got some heavy showers through the day. similar for thursday, not quite as many showers. we'll get some sunny spells, and the temperature slowly, as we head into next week, starts to rise again. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it is back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. congratulations have been flooding in from around the world for the duke and duchess of sussex after they announced the birth of their baby boy. prince harry said they have yet to decide on a name for the seventh in line to the throne, but that mother and baby are doing incredibly well. last night the duke and duchess of cambridge joined the well wishers saying they are delighted by the birth of their nephew and they're looking forward to meeting the latest addition to the family.

lam iamso i am so incredibly proud of my wife and as every father and parents would say, your baby is absolutely amazing but this little thing is absolutely to die for so i am absolutely to die for so i am absolutely over the moon. charles spencer took to twitter to congratulate the couple. the archbishop of canterbury also sent congratulations... and the american bishop, michael curry, who gave a powerful address at the couple's wedding took to twitter. schools will be told to stop

using exclusions to boost results from today amid concerns thousands of children are disappearing from classroom registers. a government—backed inquiry led by the former children's minister edward timpson demands headteachers be accountable for the exam records of pupils they remove. the inquests are expected to begin today into the deaths of those who died in the london bridge and borough market attack almost two years ago. eight people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by armed police. the inquests will examine the circumstances of each death as well as how the leader of the attack was able to plan it, even though he was the target of an m15 investigation. theresa may will meet the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers today as pressure for her to set a firm departure date for brexit intensifies. it is understood that the prime minister will have discussions with sir graham brady after the committee requested "clarity" on when mrs may will stand down and how she might trigger a leadership contest.

the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. university of oxford reseachers say concerns that social media is creating a generation of depressed teenagers are overstated and that excessive use of sites like facebook, instagram and twitter are not actually making youngsters less content. the who's who of the celebrity world attended the annual met gala in new york last night where the theme this year was "camp". it is very much the fashion event of the calendar. harry styles wore a sheer black top and pearl hearing. kim kardashian had a nude corset ensemble. katy perry turned up as a

chandelier. but it wasn't lady gaga who showed everyone how it is done. for changes. look at this guy, he has brush at the ready. a tool belt. do you think she was that for the sitdown? i don't really care. i think they had a nice time. did they get any food? they might have had a good night but manchester city a great night. liverpool fans nailbiting. it has been unbelievable. who else to step up but that man, vincent kompany. when we look back, that goal, and obviously there is one game to go,

but if they win the title that will go down as one of the best goals. manchester city are just one win away from retaining the premier league. a superb goal from vincent kompany. andy swiss reports. so was this the defining night of this extraordinary title race? as a city celebrated led by their match—winning skipper, it certainly felt like it. and yet for the first 70 minutes, the etihad had been engulfed in tension as somehow, leicester kept them out. had sergio aguero crossed the line? well, in this title race of the finest margins, here was another. and after the break, it got even edgier. aguero once again denied by kasper schmeichel. were city's hopes slipping away? well, with just 20 minutes left, step forward captain vincent kompany to quite devastating effect.

commentator: oh, my goodness me, vincent kompany‘s first goal of the entire season is an absolute belter. one of the goals, one of the moments of this remarkable campaign. that is a goal which will resound and send ripples through footballing history. it still wasn't over, leicester with a late chance to equalise but kelechi iheanacho could not take it, and the hosts were there. liverpool fans will hope there is still another twist but city now know they are within touching distance. the most nerve—jangling of nights then settled by a quite spectacular strike and it means that, if manchester city can beat brighton on sunday, they will be the champions of this extraordinary title race. andy swiss, bbc news, the etihad stadium. liverpool have their own big game to prepare for.

they're hosting barcelona at anfield tonight, looking to overturn a 3—0 deficit from the first leg of their champions league semi—final. it's an even taller order given that they'll have to do it without mohammed salah and roberto firmino. to be able to score four goals against barcelona to go through after 90 minutes... doesn't make life easier but still, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, we will try it and everybody knows and that is what's we want to show, nothing else. judd trump achieved a childhood dream as he claimed his first world championship title after a 18—9 victory over john higgins. at one point he threatened to wrap up at one point he threatened to wrap up before the final session. he is the first player to win a million in the first player to win a million in the first player to win a million in the first season. my dad is the biggest snooker fan in the world — he watches every single game every time it's on tv so it is just inspiring to see his

motivation in snooker. there have been some tough times, some bad losses but i thinkjust the inspiration to really win it for him was what got me through it. from one trump to another. tiger woods was presented with america's highest civilian honour in washington. the fifteen—time major winner was presented with the presidential medal of freedom, introduced byjohn f kennedy in 1963. it looks like they got dressed by the same taylor. that looks like a movie. that looks like a movielj that looks like a movie. i am distressed that he does not have the ribbon straight. he cannot even do that properly, come on! i like metal. do you? have you won any recently? you haven't won anything but you are 15 in the world... in aqua bike. you pedalfloating along?

i thought the same thing as well. basically a long swim and then a long cycle race. so the two nicest bits. i asked you for a picture and this is a year. to my left, she got a bronze medal so she beat me by some way. all of us feeling pretty exhausted. but looking very energetic. 15th in the world. yes, i am pleased with that, in my age group. you have to have temporary tattoos of your number and then you have to wear your age on your calf. no! and so you see someone in your

age group and you go, oh, dear. loads of girls so congratulations to everybody. thank you and see you a bit later on. i have always called him roberto firmino i always put an extra i. plans for three of the biggest windfarms of the coast. green energy being a big part of great yarmouth‘s future. we're looking at the challenges affecting seaside communities and this he is offshore and it is a glorious day. good morning. some aerial views of great yarmouth. population around 100,000 unlike many coastal towns

and cities, there are pluses and negatives of lives in great yarmouth. we will be looking at some of those stories and meeting some of the people who live in this area. lovely wildlife, for example, great views. but there are many depraved areas with a full rate lower on average than other parts of the uk. right now i am by scruby sands which was one of the first offshore wind farms to be built into the uk. enough power generated to power around 40,000 homes. notjust power but opportunity also. this 1—person story whose life has been changed by these giant turbines. big and beautiful, or ugly and imposing? whatever your view, what was one of the first offshore wind farms

in the uk has turned around gwyn's life. i was six months unemployed, found it really difficult. i was searching for work. opportunities are a hard thing to come by in a seasonal town. the full—time employment rate in great yarmouth is lower than other parts of norfolk and the uk. but the wind turbines aren'tjust producing electricity, butjobs as well, and gwyn has landed one. because demand's getting hotter for these wind turbines, there is employment opportunities there for service technicians to keep the maintenance up—to—date, and, you know, the basic running of them as well. some of the training i've done — i've had to do offshore survival, which meant that i was put into a tank, similar to a live kind of situation. well done, guys. you've done well there. we've done working at height training, which gives you a feeling for what it's like being at the top of one of these turbines. emergency descents, the operation of the cranes. you'd think it might be quite basic.

looking at the turbine, it's just a rotor spinning around in the wind. there's a lot more that goes into that — electronics, mechanical. seaside towns have challenges, and offshore wind has really improved the job prospects for people in localities, so lots of new opportunities coming in for people to gain sustainable employment. there are now almost 2,000 offshore wind turbines around the uk coast, accounting last year for 8% of uk power generation. some say they spoil the view. gwyn disagrees. it's an industry in its infancy, so it's fantastic. it's a lifeline for great yarmouth. 1,000 years ago, a booming fishing industry turned great yarmouth into a thriving town. today, the sea still presents challenges, and opportunities. delighted to be joined delighted to bejoined by

delighted to be joined by energy group and from east coast college. what opportunities are these turbines providing young people in this area? east coast college places itself right in the heart of its community, and it is important we respond to sector needs, especially in terms of skills training, which is what we are all about. in terms of offshore wind, we have set up a specific offshore training centre in our great yarmouth campus, that is designed specifically to up skill and re— skill adults, but we are also launching apprenticeship programmes for 16 plus. that will equip the local population with the skills required to come and work on turbines like the ones behind us. do more coastal areas need to be doing things like this, do you think?|j things like this, do you think?” think it is about responding to what is happening in your region. we have an enterprise partnership which has

funded this particular project that we are talking about. and most local enterprise partnerships should be on the ball in terms of what their local region is requiring. responding to industry needs and skills training, and that is what we are doing. we are working closely to meet the needs of the energy sector, specifically, offshore wind being one of those that is burgeoning now. we have a sizeable nuclear energy sector, as well, so the energy sector, as well, so the energy sector is a high priority. simon, what is the scale of this wind farm going to be eventually? it will be much, much bigger, won't it? the whole east anglia array is the size of norfolk, and it is notjust the people employed directly on it. it is the supply chain behind that which benefits, with massive investments coming in. we are seeing

a £10 million investment in new training, as well. there are huge opportunities across the board, from hotels and taxis to people working directly on the turbines. so it is not just the immediate directly on the turbines. so it is notjust the immediate workers who benefit the whole economy of the region. and you want this area to be the epicentre of wind energy. absolutely, we have half of the installed wind capacity here, remaining right the way through to mid 2030. sojobs and opportunities across the east of england. we are doing a good job of standing up, and kevin is doing a sterling job of not falling over, and hopefully we have some nice aerial shots of this amazing area we're this morning. some rain coming down, but it is really the wind which is attracting people's attention, and other coastal areas. well done for standing up throughout the whole report. thank you, we will see you later. the weather is not

spectacular, but thankfully you have brought a bit of sunshine. that is a power suit, louise. ijust thought today was the day to bring out the sunshine. i can now look at you. luckily, carol can't see it in its full glory. you look fabulous, louise. there is quite a bit of cloud around, so louise's suit is very welcome. what we're looking at todayis very welcome. what we're looking at today is another day where it will be cool for the time of year, and also we have some rain in the forecast, or indeed some showers. and some of those are wintry in the of the country, but by no means everywhere and it shouldn't be problematic. if it is substantial rain you are after, that will be coming away later today in the shape ofan area coming away later today in the shape of an area of low pressure, living and eventually to the south west of england and pushing north—eastward is. behind that, some dry weather around, some of us starting off with some sunshine. a weather front across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england will

produce some showery outbreaks of rain and some wet snow this morning, for example in county durham. further showers and parts of the midlands, east anglia and north wales. then we also have the low pressure approaching, bringing in some showers across south—west england. for northern ireland and southern scotland, some showers, wintry in the hills of northern scotland, but equally in between here you will see some sunshine. the lion 's share of the sunshine today in the far north of scotland in the far south of england. but those temperatures are no great shakes for this stage in may, and if you are taking a stroll along the north sea coastline, wrapped up warmly. it will feel rather chilly. through the evening and overnight, we still have those showers around but you can't help but notice the area of low pressure coming in. that will bring thicker cloud, also some rain, some heavy rain at times, and some gusty winds as it continues to push north—eastward is across england and wales. ahead of it we will see some showers under any clearance, it will

bea showers under any clearance, it will be a cold night. tomorrow, picking up be a cold night. tomorrow, picking up that rain again, it continues to move up that rain again, it continues to move into northern ireland, the rest of northern england, southern, central and eastern parts of scotland. ahead of it, the cloud will build with one or two showers and behind it, for england and wales, we are looking at some sunshine coming through. equally, we have some heavy and thundery showers. temperatures 15 in london, six in aberdeen, and we have an onshore flow, and easterly winds. that will make it feel quite raw along the north sea coastline. we still have the low pressure, the weather front connect it with it, and what it will do is bring some more rain across the northern half of the uk. as we push further south, drierand of the uk. as we push further south, drier and brighter. as you have guessed, we're looking at some showers. we will not all see the but if you catch when it could be heavy and also thundery. temperatures up to 15. thank you so much, i wish you could hear what these two are talking about. when you call it an

aqua bike, ithought talking about. when you call it an aqua bike, i thought it was one of those things with the massive wheels, and you pedal and it has the big handles. you are educating us soul this morning, louise. big handles. you are educating us soulthis morning, louise. along bike ona soulthis morning, louise. along bike on a bicycle. a lot of people coming back from work, lots of people working from home. if you have that tuesday morning blues, we have that tuesday morning blues, we have been speaking for the office —— to the office for national statistics. they carry out a labour market survey every year. it is the largest household study in the uk that looks at how and where people are working. they found that a huge jump in the number of people who worked mainly from their own home. it is up 74% in the last ten years, from 884,000 in 2008 to 1.54 million in 2018.

and we're seeing an increase in people who work in different places, with their home as a base. 200,000 more people worked like that at the end of last year than they did ten years before, up to 2.6 million. what impact does that have on workers? well, it means there is more flexibility for staff, and it keeps costs down for firms. but the charity mind say more of us working from home could leave us feeling isolated and lonely. and you could also be more distracted at home, affecting how much work you actually do. so how do you avoid all those distractions?

we asked these remote workers in manchester. i like the flexibility of it, of being able to go out there and meet other people. so it's a lot more enjoyable, because you can go out, whereas if you stay at home, you start procrastinating and doing things that you shouldn't be doing. it's really hard to clock off if you work from home, because you think five more minutes, five more minutes. and you find yourself working until 10pm at night. remote working like this for me is brilliant. i get up and go to work and when i leave, my laptop goes in my bag and i don't look at it until the next day. isolation is a big factor. if i work at home for two or three days on a bounce without seeing other people, i tend to get cabin fever. so i often go to cafe 's and co— working spacesjust for that interaction. i find it helps my productivity as well as my motivation if i can be around other people, and that is what i miss from not working in an office.

so some of the pros and cons from working in a shared office space. not all employers are in favour. marissa mayer, as chief exec of yahoo in 2013, famously banned working from home to encourage greater cohesion in her workforce. she drove in and realise the car park was empty, and she logged in and found out they weren't doing very much. she said where is everyone? they said technology allows that to happen. as we have touched on, that idea of isolation and loneliness is one to consider as well. you will be back after 8am talking about royal baby business. you were saying the shoal that princess charlotte war, it sold how many? about 100,000 around the world, she was about 11 hours old. this is it, actually. just 11 hours old, already a fashion setter but made in nottingham. the royals have been very good at supporting british business. we will talk about some examples later. the news about the baby is all across

the newspapers. sophie long has been to los angeles to see how they received the news. it's a boy! prince harry and his wife meghan are new parents today... the royal baby has arrived and the prince is visibly excited! well, the duchess of sussex gave birth this morning to a baby boy. it is exciting news... as us networks delivered the news they'd been waiting for in windsor, los angeles woke up to hear the first anglo—american royal baby had arrived. i think that's amazing and being a black woman, i'm really proud that we can have a royal black woman in leadership so that's awesome. we're very happy about the news. yeah, it's great. and we wish them all the best. and many more. may the royal family continue to thrive. a baby is a baby is a baby, right? but it's probably adorable. it's a busy time at this la charity that helps children in need. that's in part thanks to baby sussex. it's enjoyed a major boost since it became the only organisation in the united states the royal

couple approved to accept gifts in celebration of their child's birth. it was an amazing surprise and when we saw it and everyone saw it, because we got a million phone calls and then all of a sudden the uptick in donations was incredible. there's something different about the royals attention than there is about an actress' attention. now, while angelenos wait with the rest of the world to see the new face of the royal family, speculation continues on what his name will be. they should name the something like 0cean or something. it should be like an la name like river... just like keep naming then harries. herbert. i think that's fitting. if a boy, name him dikembe mutombo. hancock, perhaps. whatever they decide upon, people here are keen to welcome baby sussex on any future, if not his first, royal tour. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles.

some great suggestions there. we will be talking a little bit more about the royal baby after 8am on brea kfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. two teenagers are in a critical condition in hospital after they were stabbed in north london, in incidence the police are linking. the 17 and 18—year—old were found within ten minutes of each other half of mile apart in islington yesterday afternoon. no arrests have been made and a stop—and—search area is in place across the borough. residents in ilford are calling on the police to publish the names of people who are caught kerb—crawling in their neighbourhood.

they say groups of sex workers are ruining one of their high streets, and believe the only way to tackle it is to publicly shame those who use them. if they get ticketed, we should be able to publish their names, and possibly their photographs. i don't know how that would work, but i think we should be able to do that because, you know, they've tried to engage in a sexual — in something that's illegal. the metropolitan police says it hasn't got the power to identify kerb—crawlers, but it is launching a crackdown soon. st paul's cathedral will hold its first ever iftar at sunset tonight to mark the end of the day's ramadan fast for muslims. under the dome, the mayor of london will break his fast at the event hosted by the bishop of london. also attending will be the chief rabbi and over 100 young people, some with no faith and others from different religions. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

buckingham palace are sophia parker and amy cotton from little village. your charity was one of the chosen for charities chosen by the couple. how much difference has it made?” would like to start by saying congratulations to the duke and duchess. becoming a parent is very special especially when it is your first child. it has been amazing being part of the celebrations for baby sussex. at the tender age of one day the baby has made a huge difference to the families we support. we have had donations flooding in from all over the world of nappies, toys, books, from australia, dubai, and hundreds of people giving us money which is essential. we do not receive funding so every donation is helping us keep our doors open and support the 3000

children we are expecting to see this year. you have benefited from the work that little village has done. how has it helped you?m really has helped. i had to leave a chaotic situation behind and basically start again and i had my little boy in my arms and i met sophia and she gave me everything for my little boy. it really helped. that is lovely to hear. i know that you have had a good association with prince harry over the years. what does your charity do and how much of a difference has thus made? we are the national charity for seriously ill children and their families, giving children with long—term serious health conditions help to get home from hospital. we have had

over £9,000 worth of donations over the last few weeks which is an astonishing amount for a charity like ours who is entirely reliant on donations. it allows us to continue the work in supporting families across the uk so a big congratulations to the duke and duchess. general interest and inquiries as well? instagram is a great example. we had a lot of donations. 0ther instagram following went up by about 10,000. it has created a huge swell of generosity from the public and attracted new supporters and an opportunity for us to tell our important story. instead of cards and gifts the couple asked for money to be given to these charities. what are you aiming to

do? it is a very simple idea. we are like a food bank for baby and children's stuff so everything from toys, cots, buggies, clouds, everything a baby or small child might need, and we connect, collect those and give them to families who are struggling. child poverty is rising for the first time in a generation and it is on our doorstep so our services needed and the support from all the well—wishers for baby sussex is amazing. it is an honour to be part of this. how did you know you are going to be given this royal favour? how you know you are going to be given this royalfavour? how did prince harry get involved? the duke of

sussex has been a patron of ours for over ten years. the news that we we re over ten years. the news that we were going to be one of the charities chosen came as a complete surprise. we found out on instagram along with everybody else. that is a good post to read. a complete surprise to us. hugely grateful. how is your little baby doing? we were hoping to see him today but how is he doing? he is great. he did not sleep well last night so i left him at home. otherwise he is great. as a new mum do you have top tips for the royal couple? go with the flow, go with the baby, nothing is ever too much, if you need helpjust ask. sleep when the baby sleeps. very good advice. i am sure lots of people waking up this morning we'll think exactly the same. what would

be your advice to the new dad? as a dad myself i would say go with your gut and ditch the baby books. the fa ct gut and ditch the baby books. the fact he did not know about it, with the warning have helped with the interest? a little bit of warning would have been great but we appreciate the support it has generated. thank you. it is a lovely sunny day at buckingham palace. four charities are little village and well child and the lunchbox fund. no cards, no gifts, if you want to give anything that is what to do. it is time to say good morning to carol.

it looks lovely at buckingham palace. sunnier skies across the south of england and the far north of scotland. this is the snow falling in braemar at the moment. around i guess we do have some snow but most of it is on higher ground. devon, like in windsor and london, some lovely blue skies. thank you for sending in your beautiful pictures. it is going to be another cool day. there is also some rain and some showers. you can see the rain is coming into the south—west introducing wet and windy weather. at the moment hardly a breath of wind so if you catch a shower it could be quite heavy and there might be the odd rumble of thunder. a greater chance tomorrow. where we have the showers across the central

swathe of the uk. sunnier skies will be in the far north and south until later as the low pressure approaches and it will introduce more cloud and showers ahead of the rain. showers are hitand showers ahead of the rain. showers are hit and miss and you might lucky and not catch one. moving across northern ireland and southern scotland, wintry on the hills in the north, but we are looking at some sunshine. despite the sunshine look at the temperatures. six and seven in the north. 12—15 further south. wherever you are temperatures are below average for the stage in may. this evening and overnight we start to lose some of the showers. as the low pressure comes then it brings more cloud and heavy bursts of rain companies die in strong winds. living across england. for scotland and the rest of northern ireland

where we see clear skies the temperature will drop and we could be looking at temperatures sub 01 second. tomorrow the rain continues to progress north eastwards. getting across the rest of northern england, southern and central and eastern scotland. ahead of its brightness. some sunshine in the far north and behind it we will see sunny skies develop but again we have those showers and some of them will be heavy and thundery. moving through wednesday into thursday we still have low pressure with us. it is going to be producing some rain across the northern half of the country. the wind will ease and in the south looking at bright skies and sunny skies and also some showers. some of those showers will be heavy and thundery. temperatures 15 in the south, eight and ten in the north, on the north sea coastline it will fill cooler.

a little bit of rain around the next few days. a royal baby can be a huge boost to business. ben was talking to us about sales of blankets and shells after baby charlotte.” to us about sales of blankets and shells after baby charlotte. i am nervous about talking about it because we have not seen the baby but when we get the first ones later today there will be a lot of attention on the baby but also what the baby is wearing. there is precedent for this because managing to create huge numbers of sales, huge amounts of profit for companies if they get it right, if the baby is seen wearing a certain thing. princess charlotte, at the front door in london wearing the shawl which sells for about £68, it is a british firm in nottingham, they

sold about 100,000 of those in 183 countries because it was pictured on the baby on that first morning. the royals are very good at supporting british designers and fashion brands. they will be inundated with new gifts for the baby so what someone has to do is wade through all of these, check the history about where they are from and make sure there is nothing sweatshop related and they will be looking at what they can die. the perfect example, prince george, the dressing gown —— they can buy. within seven minutes they sold 1 million of these. how much do they cost? about £90. how can you be ready for that?

they were not. that was the problem. they were not. that was the problem. the website went down and they were inundated and they had to speak to their supplier. i said inundated and they had to speak to their supplier. isaid how inundated and they had to speak to their supplier. i said how do you get your dressing gown and a picture like that and they sent it to the palace. they knew nothing about it. they did not get a letter or anything because there is so much sense. the first thing they knew was when he woke up and turned on his phone, the boss of the company, and his phone had gone crazy. that set up his phone had gone crazy. that set up that business. it has the power to shift staff and i bet there is a lot of stuff. the postman will have a heavy bag going to kensington palace or up to windsor. we do not know when we are going to see... prince harry said two days. maybe tomorrow. it is going to be quite a private affair, just one photographer. quite low-key. very

different to the scenes we have seen in london. nonetheless a lot of attention to what he is wearing. something else we are talking about, wind power. to the norfolk coast. clea n wind power. to the norfolk coast. clean energy a big part of the future. where are you? a mile out to sea at the moment but hopefully you can see aerial views of great yarmouth. like many coastal towns and cities there are pluses and minuses when it comes to a life in great yarmouth and across today we will be looking at some of those stories and meeting some of the people who live here looking at the challenges and the opportunities they face with employment, housing, education. right now i am about a mile out to sea. an offshore wind

farm behind me. one of the first to be opened in the uk. we can speak to someone from an energy group who represent many of the main players in the offshore wind sector. how important is this? 52% of the installed capacity in the uk is here and that takes us to 2013. east anglia is where it is that for offshore wind. how important is it when it comes to employment? increasing numbers being employed and the colleges we will be speaking to later ramping themselves up in terms of activity, and new skill set going in, £10 million spent, trading up going in, £10 million spent, trading up young people to come into the industry. people coming from other industries as well. big opportunities. notjust industries as well. big opportunities. not just to industries as well. big opportunities. notjust to be working directly above with the supply chain as well. when it comes

tojob creation it supply chain as well. when it comes to job creation it is notjust about people who work on the turbines. how do they get to them? you used a working fishing. what is the job of the boat now? we started on this in 2009 and there was an opportunity within the sector and we made the transition from fishing to offshore wind. you take the technicians out of the need to work on them. yes. we will be taking 12 guys out when we finish to one projectjust off of the suffolk coast. she will be busy for the rest of the day taking technicians out to construct the wind farm. this did not exist a few yea rs wind farm. this did not exist a few years ago. very interesting. you are from an east coast college. how big a deal is this? it is a fantastic opportunity for our graduates and the local population. we are working very closely with employers and the

local enterprise partnership to ensure the training they offer is aligned to their skills requirements. so many challenges but that's all sure when does seem to be a big deal. not only does it provide power but it may be something other coastal areas can do as well. thank you to everybody in that report and well done for staying standing. we will be back in a few minutes with the national headlines. we will also have some more royal baby news. i am not sure we have breaking news! hopefully tomorrow.

good morning. yesterday, the bank holiday monday was pretty cool. in fact, if you look at the maximum temperatures recorded on the early may bank holiday since its inception, it was the coolest. temperatures actually only got to 13.8 celsius in plymouth, so, that's a new record. now, we've got a swirl of cloud out towards the atlantic, that's wednesday's weather. for today, we've just got quite a bit of cloud for this morning. and some showery outbreaks of rain, affecting mainly northern parts of england and up into southern scotland. further wintry showers in the far north, over the higher ground, some sunny spells here. some sunshine across south wales and through southern england this afternoon. here, temperatures coming up a little bit, 13 to 15 celsius. showers, though, in the central parts and temperatures of only really about 8 to 12 degrees. and through tonight, we'll continue with some showers across northern parts before they band of rain moves its way the band of rain moves its way in from the south—west.

that'll turn quite heavy, but it's going to keep temperatures up with all that cloud, that rain spreading in. overnight lows about 7 to 10 degrees, chillier, though, in the far north of scotland. but that swirl of cloud i showed you at the start, that's this area of low pressure. you can see these weather fronts pushing their way northwards as we go throughout wednesday. but with it, the air is coming in from the south—west, so it's not quite as cold as it has been in recent days. saying that, because of the cloud, because of the rain and because of quite a strong easterly wind, it will feel quite chilly, particularly in the north—east. but that rain moves its way northwards. there'll be some sunny spells developing across much of wales, the midlands, eastern and southern areas of england. there will be some heavy and perhaps thundery showers. quite a strong wind, as i mentioned, particularly across northern england, northern ireland and scotland, where temperatures will be about 6 to nine celsius. further south, not as cold with those temperatures about 14 or 15 degrees. that's it from me, goodbye.
