7:00 am
wow, i‘ve never seen this is the farm, it‘s the place where i teach my students during the summer camps, we use words to try and teach itself and we have rope work the statue this close before. and we do handcraft, and some good meals inside here. i think that it will give them an understanding that we are part whether, for example, definitely worth the of a connection. ungodly wake—up call. until recently, visitors that wanted a connection with culture, and also a connection to nature to learn more about the statue‘s and to the elements around us. beer is expensive or cheap, whether it's bad or good, history were directed whether it's male or female. if there is an inherent bias in how we use words, to an exhibit in its base, that will show up the results. but the space was so limited, only a few people actually got ai is just revealed the secret part to see it. and i‘m afraid that‘s your lot that‘s all set to change for this week, butjoin us next week of human so i think that this with the opening of the new museum. is a good opportunity when: to think about bias, oh, it‘s dramatically better. because ai doesn't lie, it‘ll be a whole new experience cat‘s in the high atlas ai doesn't excuse. for people who have been here before ai just reveal everything. mountains of morocco, so then that's the reason, you know, to the other museum. the bias getting problem. the primary thinking behind the structure is that we not compete living the berber life as part actually, we have of a women‘s only expedition. with the statue of liberty, and i head up town to the bronx the problem already. that we have a really attractive building but that all eyes to try my hand at the street sport and that's it for the short cut of click, here at that has entertained are still on lady liberty. generations of new yorkers. ai: more than human, i don‘t know if i‘m at the barbican centre, in london. going to be able to hit this is alter 3 and it's in no can we go inside? it that hard but i‘m way freaking me out. let‘s go inside, come on. going to give it my best shot. don't forget the full—length version there are three primary grab a stick right here for you, is available to watch right now areas of the museum. people come in, on iplayer and you can get in touch with us any time you fancy. there‘s one right there. we live on instagram, youtube,
7:01 am
facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. they will go into the and i'm just going to step a little bit further away now. there‘s no pressure at all... bye. i got this! ..well, there‘s a little bit of pressure. that‘s good. immersive theatre and then there you go, run it out! they will move on to run it out! let go of the bat! the engagement gallery laughter. which is where we‘re standing right now and the engagement gallery is primarily the history of the statue of liberty. its beginning, and then how it became a symbol of america. and don‘t forget to follow us and now it‘s used in every sort on social media for extra of thing that you can think of. travel show content. but for now, from me, lucy hedges, the museum takes people all the way and the rest of the travel show team, here in the big back to the statue‘s creation. apple, it‘s goodbye. it was designed by frederic august bartholdi, who built it in his paris workshop. the statue marked 100 years since the declaration of independence and the historic alliance between america and france. in 1885, it was shipped in 350 individual pieces over to new york where it was reassembled and unveiled to the american public the next year. and then you finish with the inspiration gallery. now for the piece de resistance, the original torch.
7:02 am
the torch. good morning, welcome to breakfast. the headlines: could this be the deal that gets brexit over the line? in herfinal push, theresa may wow. promises a new "bold" offer to mps. campaigners say laws for " revenge it stood up there porn" should be stronger and victims from 1886 until 198a. the original torch had been changed should be given the from bartholdi‘s design to include a glass panel frame that right to anonymity. could be lit up night. in the 1980s, it was removed and replaced during a massive and mine‘s a treble. restoration of the statue. man city have completed the clean talk to me about how difficult sweep of domestic trophies, it was to get the torch in here. thrashing watford 6—0 in the biggest well, i didn‘t have to do it... laughs. ..but it was quite a task. people worked for about two weeks, from 3:00 in the afternoon fa cup final win for over 100 years. until 3:00 at night. and they had this carrier that they laid the face on its back, and then put the torch on it. good morning. a pretty murky start we had not put in all the glass here, so that could lift quite for some of us. for others, the sun nicely into its position, and it is already making an appearance. all worked quite well. and here it is. beware, there are some downpours to martin and his team have been be dodged today. full details up later here on breath —— office. —— in charge of conserving the torch brea kfast.
7:03 am
the netherlands wins the eurovision song contest in tel aviv. how did the uk do? we finished last. and cleaning it up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with chris mason well, today is the last day, and naga munchetty. it‘s sort of the clean down from the top down and so as they are our headlines today: could this be the deal that gets it's sunday the 19th of may. finishing up the lighting fixtures our top story. brexit over the line? a "new bold offer", that's inside, myjob is then the final in herfinal push, theresa may what the prime minister clean down of everything is proposing, to finally that falls down. get her brexit deal approved by mps. it‘s just a simple cotton cloth extra protection for workers‘ rights to try to get the heavy things out. promises a new "bold" offer to mps. just getting rid of that dirt. are expected to be at the centre campaigners say laws for "revenge porn" should be stronger and victims should be given like with any cleaning the right to anonymity. of the proposals, but both job, it‘s never done. i think it‘s really quite impressive and mine‘s a treble. conservative and labour mps say just how much detail manchester city have they're sceptical there is for something that really completed the clean sweep of wasn‘t designed to be seen close—up. domestic trophies, thrashing watford about the deal passing. the detail is so intricate. 6—0 in the biggest fa cup final our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in our london newsroom for us. jonathan, what's the offer and will it be enough? it‘s pretty amazing how it all comes together, part to part, piece to piece and all of a sudden, well, theresa may is certainly you‘ve got a torch. hopeful this will get through, and
7:04 am
it is really her last chance to get her brexit deal through and she knows that now, after three heavy defeats in the house of commons. she knows that changes will need to be it's so iconic and you think about its history and how it stood made. writing on the sunday times this morning, the prime minister for freedom and for liberty says showers not going to simply ask to people all over the world. it really is a remarkable mps to look again, but to consider with fresh eyes a new bold offer, as you say. so what is the substance of piece of work. it? well, there are a few easy wins that she can insert into the and the museum has now opened its doors. legislation which mps will vote on entry is free to all ina visitors of liberty island. legislation which mps will vote on in a couple of weeks‘ time, like it‘s got to be done. and to wrap up this week, security cooperation, environmental we‘re off to western norway, home of the fjords. these long narrow bands of sea can protections and workers rights, stretch to more than 200 kilometres long, and tourists come here to soak which she knows will appeal to some up some of europe‘s most stunning labour mps tobacco deal. that really scenery. is heraim labour mps tobacco deal. that really is her aim here. labour mps tobacco deal. that really is heraim here. but labour mps tobacco deal. that really is her aim here. but there are bigger questions over the uk‘s future relationship with the eu in terms of customs arrangements. and also that the question of whether the furthest west you can travel there will be another public vote on in norway is to a region called this deal. and there, i think it is solund, an area made up of more than 1700 impossible to see the prime minister islands, we went there to meet a man shifting and moving, so we may well that has lived on one of these see some votes in parliament as well islands for two decades, to try to build a consensus, but on those big questions and the big
7:05 am
sticking points for many mps, i don‘t think the prime minister is going to budge. so this may well be all on his own. a bold new offer in her eyes, but it is farfrom a bold new offer in her eyes, but it is far from guaranteed a bold new offer in her eyes, but it is farfrom guaranteed it a bold new offer in her eyes, but it is far from guaranteed it will be enough to get her deal over the line. jonathan, thanks very much for that. we will be following it. if you‘re catching a train today, you should be aware of major timetable changes which the house here on the island was in are coming into effect. train operators say they‘re adding very bad shape. more than 1,000 extra then we went on to study services per week. last year‘s changes led to weeks the old original building construction, that means axe, of delays and cancellations. saw, drill, hand drills, here‘s our business and things like that. from the very beginning, now we have six or seven buildings here and it has now taken me 20 years, correspondent, katy austin. to get the money to do it, to buy the materials, but also the time to really do the work. living here alone, it has been tannoy: this service will remain pretty tough sometimes. because you have to rely here for approximately one minute. on yourself all the time. although i‘m alone, i‘m not lonely, i will say that. a huge overhaul of rail the postal boat brings people, timetables last may resulted post, tourists, locals, in huge disruption. thameslink and northern passengers around the islands. were particularly badly hit. today‘s shakeup is a much smaller scale than a year ago. 1,000 extra services it‘s kind of a shuttle. being added across the country, aimed at boosting the economy friends and neighbours come around and catering for growing passenger and visit me and make me feel that numbers. i‘m in a connection with the area and the community here. the rail operators and network rail we want to try to document some say they have been working together parts of the old traditions. to make sure lessons they learn it‘s important to me to preserve from last year are put into place.
7:06 am
these old boats and bring them they say they have been monitoring to the next generation. the situation closely this time that‘s how cultural heritage is evolved. this is the farm, it‘s the place around and will be able to respond quickly if any problems do happen. where i teach my students during the summer camps, the group representing people and we have rope work who travel by train says they need and we do handcraft, the change to go smoothly. and some good meals inside here. i think that it will give them an understanding that we are part of a connection. a connection with culture, and also a connection to nature 00:06:17,575 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and to the elements around us. well, we will know by the end of the morning commute on monday, that is kind of the acid test when this is rarely seen, whether it works or not. sunday is a trial run. monday morning is d—day for commuters, we will be watching on behalf of commuters and seeing how good the information is in particular. last summer‘s rail chaos led to apologies from the transport secretary and an inquiry concluded the rail industry needed to prioritise the interests of passengers. they are being advised to check before travelling but are also being assured plans are in place to minimise disruption. four years after the introduction of new laws to crack down on revenge porn, a bbc investigation has found cases are on the rise,
7:07 am
but the number of prosecutions is falling. adrian goldberg from 5 live investigates has been looking into this and joins us now. adrian, what have you discovered? should we just clear up exactly what revenge porn is? it is a very simple thing, the posting online of images, videos, photographs of a sexual nature of someone videos, photographs of a sexual nature of someone else without their permission, and here is the key thing. with the intention of causing embarrassment oi’ thing. with the intention of causing embarrassment or distress. that legal test is what many campaigners believe is the reason why the number of charges for revenge porn have gone down, at the same time as the number of cases being investigated has gone up. so this is quite a new crime, isn't it? by the nature of social media and smartphones under the rest of it. unpick what you found. there is this disjuncture between the cases and the prosecutions. it became a specific law in 2013 and the first year after that, more than 800 cases were investigated by the 19 police forces
7:08 am
who have responded to a request for information. four years on, the number of cases being investigated has more than doubled, more than... fallen 23%. many campaigners say this question of was there an intention to cause embarrassment or distress, that is too easy for defence lawyers to argue, well, there was no intention to cause embarrassment 01’ there was no intention to cause embarrassment or distress, that‘s why they think some of the charges have gone down. so now the actual law has been brought into question as to whether or not it is fit for purpose. what is the ministry of justice saying? purpose. what is the ministry of justice saying? one thing that has been raised as the anonymity of people, because it is not classed as a sexual crime. many people are unwilling to come forward. the ministry ofjustice is the reason it is not classed as a sexual crime is because the aim is to hurt people, the aim is not to get some kind of sexual gratification. you will be updating us again over the next two hours. thanks, adrian. and you can hear more about this on 5 live investigates
7:09 am
at 11:00 this morning. the final phase of voting in india‘s general election is getting underway. today‘s voting draws to an end six weeks of elections and a long, bruising campaign. the ruling hindu nationalist party, the bjp is hoping to repeat its 2014 performance, when it won the biggest general election victory by any party in thirty years. corruption allegations have torn apart the coaltion government in austria. the chancellor has called for a snap election. sebastian kurz said he could no longer rule the country in partnership with the far—right freedom party, after a string of scandals. bethany bell reports from vienna. it was all happening last night if
7:10 am
you were watching eurovision. we had russia‘s entry singing in the shower for reason. australians on got —— on giant pogo sticks. big bendy poles. and madonna turning up in the half time interval. that's how you do eurovision! there was a triumph for the netherlands, who won for the first time since 1975. despair for the uk. we can last. from tel aviv, israel, this is the grand final of the eurovision song contest, 2019! on stage, it was business as usual. but off—screen there were protests from those opposed to israel‘s occupation of the palestinian territories. chanting: taking part in eurovision means you join a racist mission! i think the world should not allow israel to host events like this because having events like the eurovision here is masking away the reality of the occupation.
7:11 am
and injerusalem, police tackled 0rthodox protesters angered that the contest was being held on the jewish sabbath. in the end there were no major protests. the programme passed largely without incident. the uk‘s michael rice sang with gusto, but ended up in last place. and after days of doubts, madonna did perform, but fans were not sure if this was a deserving performance. the winner was duncan laurence of the netherlands, and among the fans he had been a firm favourite from the beginning. it is almost 12 minutes past seven. -- 7:12 it is almost 12 minutes past seven. —— 7:12 a.m. that means you up—to—date with the news this
7:12 am
morning. they‘re known as invisible illnesses, but inflammatory bowel diseases, which include crohn‘s and colitis, are debilitating conditions. it‘s thought they affect more than 300,000 people in the uk. causing symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue and weight loss. there is no known cure, but surgery can be relieve some people of the symptoms. we‘re joined now by sarah sleet from crohn‘s and colitis uk. good morning to you. today is world ibd day. world irritable bowel disease day. inflammatory bowel disease. right, sorry. this is why we talk about crohn‘s disease and colitis. so it is all part of this it takes guts campaign. it is interesting because all this week we have been having —— covering
7:13 am
menopause. we werejust have been having —— covering menopause. we were just saying in the morning meeting... it is this thing about taboos, and this is the ove rla p we thing about taboos, and this is the overlap we have in having with the conversation about menopause, there are certain things, medical and otherwise, which somehow we collectively feel uncomfortable talking about, but we would be uncomfortable talking to our boss about breaking our arm if we fell off our bike or something. but somehow, talking about this stuff is difficult in plays into how people can live with the condition, i guess. absolutely. we know that people feel very isolated by this, because they cannot talk about it. it is almost like one of the last taboos. who wants to talk about their bowel habits? who wants to say that they are having a problem with going to the toilet, maybe 20 or 30 times a day, worrying about the smell, worrying about people sort of thing that something horrible is going on. it is really important that people do take up the challenge of talking about this. we were describing these as chronic illnesses. it seems so silly to not
7:14 am
be able to talk about that. crohn‘s disease and colitis, they often called invisible illnesses. why? 0ften called invisible illnesses. why? often you cannot see it. you will not know, you do not see a broken arm with a plaster, you do not see somebody who is in a wheelchair. people do not want to talk about it. so they hide it. and often, it occurs in fits and starts, and people who are actually very young. about a quarter of diagnoses are in children and most diagnoses happen before you are a0. so people think these are healthy young people, they wouldn‘t imagine that there is such a debilitating illness underneath. how much is a factor that people‘s symptoms can vary hugely? so even if, perhaps in the context of an employee talking to their boss about it, even if that boss might have some experience orfeel it, even if that boss might have some experience or feel that they have some knowledge, their knowledge might be based on somebody with a very different experience of one of these diseases. yes, there is a spectrum. but too often i think it is downplayed. that is the feedback
7:15 am
we have from many patients, but they had a feeling that people think it is just had a feeling that people think it isjust a had a feeling that people think it is just a slight stomachache, just a tummy upset, what is the big deal? but actually, it can be incredibly debilitating, incredibly painful, total exhaustion, and it might not just be about the gut, because it is an autoimmune condition, it can affect skin, it can affect your joints. can it be treated? it can be treated and managed. we have good drugs. but there is no cure. about good management. what is happening with the campaign? this is the campaign to get people talking about it. that is the only way we‘re going to get rid of the stigma. we need people to explain what is going on to even the closest relatives, they sometimes don‘t know, we need to get it out there and say how it is affecting them and what people can do to help them manage their condition. the numbers are
7:16 am
significant. 115,000 people with crohn‘s disease. significant. 115,000 people with crohn's disease. we think that is a vast underestimation. at the moment, people talk about 300,000 people with crohn‘s disease and colitis. there are indications now that it is double that. we hope to have some research by the end of the year that shows it is around 600,000. that is one in 100 people. that is a lot. and if you have the symptoms go talk toa gp. and if you have the symptoms go talk to a gp. absolutely. sarah therefrom crohn‘s and colitis uk. here‘s ben with a look at this morning‘s weather. i was going to say mist, but i think it is fog. it looks pretty foggy some parts of the east of the uk. this picture came from one of our weather watchers in norfolk stop not an inspiring start of the day there. this is a little bit brighter. this is gloucestershire. sunny spells already showing their hand. through
7:17 am
today most of the mist and murk will lift. we will see spells of sunshine. there are also downpours to dodge. heavy showers. low pressure is just about in charge. nothing is moving quickly in the weather at the moment. we will see a number of days of sunshine and showers. very light winds across the uk. some areas of mist and fog and some patchy rain here and there, some patchy rain here and there, some to the north—west and some to the south—east. as we go through the day things will increasingly brighten up. we will see spells of sunshine. you can see the showers a speckled across the child. some will be heavy, some thundery and slow—moving. across scotland by this afternoon more brightness than we had yesterday. a bit warmer. a scattering of showers. northern ireland likely to cling onto a fair amount of cloud, not breaking up until late in the day. across eastern counties of england, mist and see fog likely to lap onto the
7:18 am
shoreline. brighter with some sunshine but heavy slow—moving downpours which could contain thunder. in the sunshine temperatures up to 18—19. going through this evening and tonight, most showers will fade. like the last couple of nights we will see the areas of cloud, mist and murk here and there. not a cold night, not by any stretch. five mild. 8—12. a mild start if you are out and about early monday morning. in times it will be a little grey and murky. as we go through the morning things should brighten up. we will see some sunshine. 0nce should brighten up. we will see some sunshine. once again we will see some of the showers breaking out. especially because the eastern half of the uk. further west, a little bit drier. temperatures 18—19, possibly 20. for tuesday we will see fewer showers at this stage. still some across scotland. lastly dry with some spells of sunshine. wants
7:19 am
to be had as well, wednesday is another dry day. rain returning from the west as we head towards the end of the week. a bit murky to start off and then through today it is a story of dodging the downpours. back to you to. thank you very much. the start of the second world war saw nearly three million children evacuated from britain‘s main cities to the safety of the countryside. in one case, an entire school was moved from london to wales. 0ur reporter, tomos morgan, has been to meet the last two surviving members of one class, as they got together for the first time since the end of the war. haven‘t been back since we left school. since we left school. but you haven‘t altered. school. since we left school. but you haven't altered. it has been 76 yea rs you haven't altered. it has been 76 years since they last met. but this school time memories of both castle
7:20 am
are still as clear as ever. do you remember miss quinn? called the big e. very tall and very thin and she taught english. during the second world war thousands of schoolchildren from the cities were moved to safer rural locations. as governor of the wealth girl school in ashford outside of london, lord pulis invited the girls there to be taught in his home in both castle in wales. i think we were quite unaware of the war going on. because we were neither told what was happening. when it duff and mabel gower and now the last two surviving members of the last two surviving members of the year group. and in addition to the year group. and in addition to the lessons homework, and recreational activities they had to, the girls spent hours making much—needed articles that were spent —— sent to the troops.
7:21 am
much—needed articles that were spent -- sent to the troops. with knitted socks. we were made of where of the troops and what they wanted. and scarves. garters. what about the seabird stockings for the navy? i hated doing nose, because it was a thick wool and it was very oily. were you doing that as a hobby or we re were you doing that as a hobby or were you asked? we were not allowed to waste any time at all. in the 80th year since the beginning of the second world war, this now national trust run castle has been recreated for the public as the school it once was between 1939 and 19a6. for the public as the school it once was between 1939 and 1946. we think there are about between a0 and 50 girls. it was the home of the herbert family, the earl of powys and his family. it was a hunting lodge, really, for them at that time. and they invited the wealth girl school that lord pulis was governor for. before the war ended
7:22 am
wendy and mabel parted to study a different colleges in london and the midlands. yet after a lifetime apart the memories of their time have lived on. i feel as if we haven't really missed a time, you know. we both had completely different lives. many people would be very grateful that they have lived so long. exactly, exactly. lovely story. it really was. that was the bbc‘s tomos morgan reporting. tomos morgan. what did i say? no, you did. it of a tomos morgan. what did i say? no, you did. it ofa brain tomos morgan. what did i say? no, you did. it of a brain freeze. time now for a look at the newspapers. music producer steve levine is here to tell us what‘s caught his eye.
7:23 am
good morning to you. i am never sure how it is pronounced. it is definitely not morgan. that is what through you. a little bit behind the velvet rope. first let‘s look at the front pages. the observer reports fears among senior labour mps that their party‘s stance on brexit could have helped "detoxify" the liberal democrats ahead of the upcoming european parliamentary elections. the picture you are seeing is manchester city celebrating a 6—0 win. we will have all of that later with this board. —— with the sport. —— with the sport. the front page also features a pictures of manchester city‘s david silva, celebrating the first of six goals at the fa cup final. labour mp geoffrey robinson has strenuously denied historical allegations that he was a spy for czechoslovakia. the daily mail reports that cold war documents claim he passed sensitive information to the then communist—led country.
7:24 am
mr robinson said the allegations were a lie. the paper also uses a picture of the duchess of cambridge on a rope swing, which will feature at the chelsea flower show tomorrow. there is a new technical term, forest bathing. it seems to be going ona forest bathing. it seems to be going on a rope swing. quite a posh one. not like the ones with a tire on them like we had as kids. the sunday telegraph says it has seen a private letter which shows prime minister theresa may personally blocked a new law that could have prevented northern ireland veterans from facing prosecution. meanwhile, a new study of waste water has shown that britons‘ cocaine use has more than doubled in seven years. "hottest summer ever." that‘s the daily star‘s headline. it says forecasters are predicting record—breaking temperatures to follow. ben has been struggling with what we re
7:25 am
ben has been struggling with what were to have today. we will taunt him with this a little later on. let us him with this a little later on. let us find out what steve has been looking at. good morning to you. what are you starting with? this story is up your street. it is perfect. saying two things. this is specifically towards the film industry saying we need more sound engineers and technicians including make—up artist. and we need to get rid of nepotism. it is really difficult to break into the industry. it took me a long time when i was 17 to get into the industry. i know from the professional recording site, to do with making records and record production, that that is looking quite good. i also do masterclasses in liverpool. there are a large inta ke in liverpool. there are a large intake of sound engineers, male and female. luckily the world is changing and they said as a career. what this is saying is not only do we need to have good quality behind—the—scenes technicians, but they need to be able to have a job at the end of it and a living. there
7:26 am
isa at the end of it and a living. there is a slight follow on saying that britain is very short of space, studio space. the thing with the nepotism stuff, every industry is particularly keen at the moment wa nts to particularly keen at the moment wants to make sure it casts the net wide and the rest of it, but it is also human instinct to trust people you know. i suppose that is what is often called out as nepotism. the other problem with that, and we have a discussion with diversity, when it is people you know you live in your echo chamber. echo chamber being a particularly good word. what i can see is that there is a large intake of young women who want to be sound engineers and record producers. they wa nt engineers and record producers. they want that as their career. i am encouraged by that. it will take about three years for this cycle to come through. it is really important government then make sure these people can earn a living and, indeed, that the uk has more studio space. clearly we have a shortage. this goes back a few decades where
7:27 am
property prices meant that studios closed, they became more desirable as flats. it isjust closed, they became more desirable as flats. it is just a closed, they became more desirable as flats. it isjust a link closed, they became more desirable as flats. it is just a link on the metres linking the two things together that if we are going to train sound engineers and behind—the—scenes people we need to make sure there is a place for them to work. can ijust say a quick thing about sound. chris and the tea m thing about sound. chris and the team have on the british podcast awards. they have been voted listener ‘s choice for breakfast cast. 0bviously sound very important. particularly with podcast. you can hold that. just to make me blush even more. the sound ofa make me blush even more. the sound of a good recording is incredibly important. you can tell when it is not there. and in the podcast for the editing. we spoke about this yesterday and this week, we had john timpson, who has been doing loads of work to try to regenerate the high street, what is this saying and what
7:28 am
have you picked up? from my background, my father, when he was alive, he was a street trader in oxford street. the world of this market was a community well. it then extended to the high street. what has happened, it is a combination of the high street closing down, property prices being incredibly expensive for rent, so most high streets are closing. lots of different branches. it is creating a skill shortage. for example, a butcher is very skilled at doing the job that they do, greengrocers, et cetera, i don't was a greengrocer. in the knowledge they have, as part of the community, it is the pairing. i support them with this —— disappearing. they also pull their employees from, ex— offenders. i use them regularly. they are fantastic. it is knowledge. it is the knowledge thing that is the key. if you train people. what he is saying is that because the high street is disappearing, like we were saying with the sound engineers, when there
7:29 am
isa with the sound engineers, when there is a space, a vacancy, you have a vacuum is a space, a vacancy, you have a vacuum of skills. you need to encourage councils to bring back a more diverse set of shops, a more diverse way of buying things. those will sit side—by—side with internet shopping and the big supermarkets. we will tap into your expertise about a certain television programme last night. eurovision. this right up last night. eurovision. this right up complete with the australian entry on the old pogo stick. from your perspective, as a professional in the industry, where does eurovision sit? i am a big fan. i have this strange accolade of, if we are doing accolades, i produced the 2000 hit which came second in the 2000 hit which came second in the 2000 eurovision. that was odd. obviously it wasn't a british song. but i was asked to producer as an artist. when we finished it as a re cord artist. when we finished it as a record the label said we're going to enter into eurovision. i got see behind—the—scenes of how that worked full up this is great. what this piece is saying is how the israeli government did a deal to prevent
7:30 am
some rockets flying over to temper down the madonna did say musicjoins everyone together. here is a great example. even governments which have very different views can come to an arrangement. with eurovision, it is really, really a brilliant programme. it does unite people. whether you like the music or not. it isa whether you like the music or not. it is a uniting factor. i think that if we want to win as a country we have to put more resources behind it. it is an expensive show... a lot more! it goes back to the basic songwriting and i would argue on the production. we will talk about it again in the next hour. you are coming back. we have not finished this conversation. absolutely not. steve, thank you very much. stay with us, headlines coming up.
7:31 am
hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and naga munchetty. good morning. here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. theresa may says she intends to present what she calls a new old offer to mps present what she calls a new old offerto mps in present what she calls a new old offer to mps in a final attempt to get them to approve her brexit deal ina get them to approve her brexit deal in a couple of weeks. extra protection for workers rights are expected to be at the centre of the proposals. that is among labour‘s demands. the prime minister promised to outline a timetable for her departure after the commons vote. if you are catching a train today or jumping on want to go to work tomorrow you need to know there are major timetable changes kicking in at train operators —— and train operators say they will be running more than a thousand extra services a week. train companies and network rail say they have learned the
7:32 am
lessons of last summer, when there we re lessons of last summer, when there were those cancellations and delays. cases of revenge born in england and wales are on the rise but the number of solutions is falling, according toa of solutions is falling, according to a bbc investigation. it comes four years after the introduction of new laws to crack down on the sharing of privacy —— on the sharing of private or sexual images of an individual without their consent. campaigners say the laws are not fit for purpose. the national police chiefs council insists police forces ta ke chiefs council insists police forces take the crime seriously. for the first time, a congressman from the us republican party has said residents should face impeachment. justin amash says he came to that conclusion after reading the mueller report on russian interference on the 2016 election. he said donald trump had clearly attempted to obstruct justice, which trump had clearly attempted to obstructjustice, which is something the president has always denied. the austrian chancellor, sebastian kurz, has called for a snap election after the resignation of his coalition partner over corruption allegations. a video shows heinz—christian
7:33 am
strache, who had been his deputy, offering a woman who was posing as a russian oligarch‘s nice state contracts in return for financial and political support. in a televised address, the chancellor listed other scandals involving the freedom party and said the video relations were the last straw. the netherlands has won the eurovision song contest for the first time since 1975. duncan lawrence‘s song, arcade, had in the bookmakers‘ favourite and came out on top with a92 points. madonna also performed at the show after days of speculation. the uk‘s michael rice can last, with just 16 speculation. the uk‘s michael rice can last, withjust 16 points. it is not about winning, it is about taking part. i feel sorry for him. even in the buildup he was talking about how he would like to finish in the top half. he didn‘t quite manage it. i quite like that song. good morning, ollie. it was a good show.
7:34 am
it needed a pogo stick. even the uk's entry? steve was sitting just there saying we need to put more money into it. that probably would have helped. at the show needed a bit more glitz and glamour. i still don't get why australia are in the eurovision song contest. it was a few years ago they entered. i will find out. you do know your geography a bit. i do know that is a very special team behind you there stop sir alex ferguson did when a very famous trouble with manchester united in 1999, but that involved a european trophy. he set a domestic travel, which had never been done up until yesterday, was impossible. well, of all teams, manchester city have gone and proved him wrong. and what a victory it was against watford, in the fa cup. isn't it incredible, in terms of the strength of english football and the premier league, but man city can do what they have done, and unprecedented achievement, getting the european finals are four english teams. achievement, getting the european finals are four english teamsm has been fantastic. almost teams in
7:35 am
the europa league. spurs, they have the europa league. spurs, they have the big one onjune one, in the champions league. it is never—ending, it is fantastic. great showcase for the british game at the moment. manager pep guardiola says that winning is addictive and he is already looking ahead to next season. they thrashed watford 6—0 in the fa cup final. david silva, who was in the side the last time city won the cup in 2011, opened the scoring in the first half with his first goal since december. it was 2—0 at half—time but gabriel jesus and raheem sterling dragged it out. 6—0 equals the record score in an fa cup final set in 1903. let‘s get more on this with david mcdonnell, who is the daily mirror‘s manchester football correspondent and joins us from wembley. what a brilliant story you‘ve had to tell over the season. it‘s a very special group of players and what a match to cap this unprecedented treble.
7:36 am
youi might have seen pep guardiola giving raheem sterling a dressing down after they had all picked up their medals. sterling said it was because he‘d tried to nick gabrieljesus‘ goal, but that sums up guardiolsa, and that drive to improve. five of the last six domestic trophies, which man city has now won. it was really a remarkable way to an incredible season for pep guardiola‘s team. you might have seen guardiola‘s team. you might have seen those pictures of pep guardiola given raheem sterling a dressing down after they picked up their metals. raheem sterling clarified that on twitter. i‘m not sure we believe him. he said it was because he tried to nick gabrieljesus‘ goal, which wasjust he tried to nick gabrieljesus‘ goal, which was just going over the line. those pictures we are seeing, but sums up pep guardiola. the drive to improve never ends. absolutely. he said that to us on friday in a press co nfe re nce he said that to us on friday in a press conference before the final. next season, we have to be even better, we cannot stand still. and as you said, but sums up his
7:37 am
mentality, his mindset, this relentless pursuit of perfection. he does not want man city to stand still. but as the body for the rest of the premier league, but man city, having amassed 198 points, which is a phenomenal hold of points, and having done the domestic travel, they will not stand still. they will be changes to the squad over summer, not a huge overall —— overhaul, but some fine tuning to keep them out of the pack. because theyjust took the title, it was much closer this season, wasn‘t it, with liverpool pushing them very close. we hope for that again next season. the champions league, europe, it continues to elude them. they have got this hanging over them, this uefa investigation into financial foul play, this came up again in the last couple of weeks. the possibility they could be kicked out of europe in the next season. they deny any wrongdoing. it has given their rivals a bit of a stick to poke them with over the last couple of weeks. yeah, that is the elephant in the room. this threat of
7:38 am
expulsion from the champions league for one season for this alleged contravention of financial fairplay rules. man city have launched a very robust defence of themselves and have insisted there was no financial irregularity, but of course this is a very real investigation. manchester city would like to point the finger at the media for certain lea ks. the finger at the media for certain leaks. this the finger at the media for certain lea ks. this is the finger at the media for certain leaks. this is a very real investigation which is happening under the threat of expulsion is clear and present. we will have to wait and see uefa‘s findings. i would imagine that if there was an expulsion it would probably not be until the following season, the season after next. a huge blow to manchester city, because really, after the dominance of recent seasons, that is the final frontier. they really have to go for that hour to elevate themselves. to elevate this potential expulsion, but will certainly prove problematic. certainly would. does it, you know, we don‘t know which way this uefa conclusion will go if there will be any sanction, does it take the gloss off their season? it has been a
7:39 am
difficult week with pep guardiola having to feel all these questions. yeah, certainly it is hanging over them. i think you are able to separate the kind of a static beauty on the pitch from the kind of alleged misdemeanours. —— aesthetic beauty. you have to look at the football they have played, it has been outstanding, 169 goals scored in 61 games. we talked about the points total they have in us. these are groundbreaking statistics and new records that have been set. you cannot deny the quality of the football this team has produced over the past two years, but that has come against this backdrop of alleged financial irregularities, of accusations that they artificially inflated the value of sponsorship deals in order to comply with uefa‘s financial regulations. that has to be addressed. i think the time comes for about when the findings are issued, and any potential sanctions are delivered. for the moment i think you just have to marble at the beauty of manchester city‘s football and their remarkable achievements.
7:40 am
it has been brilliant to watch. david mcdonald, thank you for joining us. city have been all conquering on the home front and in the weekend‘s other big final, the best club team in women‘s football — lyon — won the women‘s champions league for a fourth year in a row. england‘s lucy bronze and wales‘ jess fishlock were in the side that thrashed barcelona a—1 in the final in budapest. the star though — once again — was the norwegian ada hegerberg, who scored a first half hat—trick. this is their sixth champions league title in eight years, and they‘ve only lost two league games in the last nine seasons, with a goal difference of plus 957. the american brooks koepka looks to be coasting towards another us pga title. he‘s on 12—under, seven shot‘s clear in the second major of the year, going into today‘s final round at bethpage black in new york. that‘s a record after three rounds at this tournament.
7:41 am
if he wins, he‘ll become the first player to hold back—to—back titles in two majors at the same time after winning the us open in 2017 and 2018. not even tiger woods did that in his prime. england‘s matt wallace is in the chasing pack on a—under. johanna konta will be looking to win her first clay court title later today. she faces karolina pliskova in the final of the italian open. the british number one reached the final after beating the dutch 6th seed kiki bertens in three sets in rome. virginia wade was the last british women to win this tournament back in1971. there were a couple of important bouts in boxing overnight. deontay wilder retained his wbc heavyweight title by beating fellow american dominic brezeale. wilder made very short work of it too, with a brutalfirst round knockout in new york. he was asked about a potential rematch with tyson fury or unification fight with anthonyjoshua, and he said that "no doors are closed." good win too for britain‘s billyjoe saunders who took the vacant wbo world
7:42 am
super—middleweight title. he beat the german shefat isufi on points at the lamex stadium in stevenage, and can now call himself a two—weight world champion. there was more british success at the world taekwondo championships in manchester. jadejones has completed a career grand slam with a first world crown to go with her olympic, european and grand prix titles. she beat the defending champion lee ah—reum1a—7. there was also a bronze for 16—year—old aaliyah powell but it was jones‘ night. it literally feels amazing, it doesn‘t seem real, really. it has just always been the one that has got away. you do have doubts, "maybe i‘m just an olympic girl" or something like that. but i‘ve done everything now to win. you know, i canjust go to bed and sleep now.
7:43 am
that was jade jones. she had a proper work out there. you know her nickname? the head hunter. she loves they had shot, that is how she likes to finish up, by kicking her in the head. i love her, she is fantastic. in sucha head. i love her, she is fantastic. in such a lovely woman. and now she is well champion. you could see the sense of exertion and there was not apparently, we are going to have the hottest summer ever. temperatures of 30 degrees. i am referring to the front page of the daily star, we cove red front page of the daily star, we covered this in our review. and didn't mention anything about this. i have scanned every word of this story looking for that and words that you were teasing yesterday. next. that's not in it. they are definitive. what is happening, ben? well, comedy summer is quite a long way away. i am sticking with mixed,
7:44 am
i‘m sticking with mixed, that is my official answer. it will certainly not be the hottest sunday ever. quite a murky start to sunday, actually, for some of us. this is what it looks like for one of our weather watches in cambridge a short time ago. not like that everywhere. a beautiful shot in the outer hebrides, that wouldn‘t be a bad place to start your sunday morning. heavy showers, day of downpour dodging. not many white lines on discharge. not many isobars. the winds are light, nothing is moving very quickly. this is how this is starting off, quite a lot of cloud out there. but rain at the moment across the south—east. speckles of wet weather to the north—west as well. as we go through the dating should slightly brighten up. we will see good spells of sunshine. it will become more widespread as the sunshine gets going. we will also see showers breaking out. this is four o‘clock this are the noon, this
7:45 am
will be a brighter day than it was yesterday and consequently a bit warmer as well, we will see some scattered showers, northern ireland holding onto perhaps more cloud stop england and wales, a mix of sunshine and showers. quite slow—moving, some of them heavy, some thundery, but equally many places will avoid the showers and stay dry. notice along the eastern coast, there was always likely to be some fog and mist and merc coming in from the north sea from time to time. it could be disappointing along that immediate eastern coast. as we go through this evening and tonight, most of the showers will fade. largely drive through the night and large areas of cloud and mist and fog developing on what will actually be a mild night. temperatures typically between eight and 12 degrees. we go on into tomorrow and do it all again. a murky note, fog patches, glimmers of brightness but more and more of us willjoin in with the sunshine and then the showers will break out.
7:46 am
tomorrow it looks likely that most of the showers will be across eastern and northern areas. more showers tomorrow across northern scotland. temperatures in the best of the sunshine, 19 or 20. tuesday, not as many showers at this stage, more in the dry weather. downpours across scotland, further south largely dry and fine. those temperatures going up to 20 or 21 degrees. a bit further ahead, wednesday should be an only fine day, but it does look like things will start to turn a bit more u nsettled will start to turn a bit more unsettled as we head towards the end of the week with outbreaks of rain at times. so yes, it is pretty, well, i‘m not allowed to use the word mixed now. it is pretty varied over the next few days. do you look forward to doing the weather when i am on, ben? it is mixed emotions. mixed, mixed, mixed! you couldn‘t resist! i did it again! not even on purpose. everyone a person, it is just part of their contract. written
7:47 am
into the contract. mixed emotions. we can have varied emotions too. an emotional rollercoaster. an emotional rollercoaster. an emotional smorgasbord. then, thanks so much. see you later. see you in about 15 minutes. the key quote that was when you asked the question. er. er. it said it all. i think we will have some time having a quite a chat with ben. while i do that you have a look at the travel show. we will have the headlines at eight a.m.. this week on the travel show — a new look at lady liberty. this is incredible. we‘ve got it all to ourselves. and going off grid on the coast of norway. we came around the point here, we turned off the engine and i said, "well, this is it. "this is the place." our dreams became reality.
7:48 am
this week, i am in the usa‘s biggest, most iconic city, new york, where a very special lady has been making headlines. a brand—new museum dedicated to the statue of liberty opened its doors this past week and the travel show was lucky enough to see inside just as they finished work on it. as they‘re putting the finishing touches to the museum, we‘re only allowed to go in very, very early in the morning
7:49 am
so i was up at 5am to catch the staff ferry, the very first boat of the day to leave for liberty island hours before the arrival of the public. liberty island receives nearly a.5 million visitors each year. on a busy day, as many as 25,000 people come over and right now, we‘ve got it all to ourselves. 00:49:28,537 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 this is incredible.
