a massive difference. i really hope immune to those showers, the heavy slow—moving ones. they will be few it has. we will read some comments and far between compared to today. about the programme shortly. when the duke of cambridge is in a room, temperatures up to 22 degrees tomorrow in the london area. for he naturally leads the discussion because of who he is. and he was like everybody else, willing to be wednesday, we still are looking at the risk of those showers, really frank about things he has found difficult in his life, especially across scotland where we have a weather front that is going including this. to be bringing showery outbreaks of rain sinking from the north a little bit further south if you look at the charts, there is a lot of dry you strike me as the sort weather around as well and of person who tries temperatures peaking at 20 or 21 to find the positive in even the darkest situations. degrees. i must say, it is a treat do you think what you've been through, particularly with your mum, do you think that has attuned to be here. we're going to show you you to this sort of thing? and actually going through what you and the rest lots more gardens as we go through of the family have gone through, the course of this morning. they are it's made you make sure that discussions like this, all very special but there is one in and broader discussions that will hopefully take place particular we are quite keen to show on the back of this, you but i would keep that under that's something which sort of really works wraps for now. thank you so much, we and beats inside you? i've thought about this a lot, and i've tried to understand will see were little bit later. we why i feel like i do, but i think when you are bereaved at a very young age — any time really — but particularly at a young age, i can had a few sound issues therebetween resonate closely to that, stuck with it because we could hear you feel pain like no other pain.

99% of what she was saying. and you know that in your life it's let's take a look at some of today's going to be very difficult to come front pages. the daily mail calls forjustice across something that is going to be for those affected by the nhs in even worse pain than that. contaminated blood scandal. the paper says families are missing but it also brings you so close out on compensation. to all those other people out the picture is of prince louis, there who have been bereaved. taking his first steps so instantly when you talk in public. the uk government's "cruel" policies have left to someone else, you can almost see the poorest people facing it in their eyes sometimes. hunger says the guardian, it's a weird thing to say, quoting a report by the campaign but, particularly me, group human rights watch. if somebody is desperate to talk the telegraph says "explosive memos" containing claims about bereavement, you can kind about donald trump's links to russia of pick up on it quite quickly. were handed to uk spies before you can see it, can you? the us president knew they existed. yeah, they want to talk about it. the picture is of prince george but they want you to go first. they want you to say it's ok. they want to have your permission in that particular conversation, one on one, it's ok and princess charlotte at a garden to talk about bereavement. because i think particularly in britain as well, we are nervous about our emotions, we are a bit embarrassed at times. the british stiff upper lip thing, designed by their mother for this that's great, and we need to have year's chelsea flower show. that occasionally when times the mirror says migrant a re really ha rd. workers building stadiums for the qatar world cup, there has to be a moment for that, but otherwise, we've got to relax are being paid as little as 82—pence an hour. a little bit and be able to talk about emotion, because we're not robots. he does a great robot, of course! trending online, including i didn't mean to look on the bbc news website, is the story of an american at you when i said that! billionaire, who shocked students occasionally i am. once in a while! graduating in georgia, but emotions are part

you from struggling with mental recycling a lot in this programme but millions of trainees we've been health. the fact they are willing to placing our recycling things are talk about it i think we'll have a big impact. christine e—mailed this being incinerated because of lack of morning to say, i doubt i am the professional facilities to process them. more than half of pots and only one contacting you to say how wonderful the programme was. ifelt tubs and trays could be going into quite emotional watching it. those incinerators. this group was done quys quite emotional watching it. those guys finally being able to open up some investigation about what and talk. i lost my brother to exactly is going on. we have talked suicide seven years ago the stop he about that quite a lot on bbc brick. was sporty, popular, good—looking, we need to check what is actually but inherently shy and lacking in being recycled. this is a great self—confidence and unable to talk. i want to thank you and the others for bringing it into the mainstream. story, the aviation regulator is to footballers showing their clamp down on trying to change names vulnerability and loneliness. i truly believe your programme will and tickets. maybe there is a open up men and save their lives. maybe things would have been different if my brother seen it. spelling mistake. a lot of airlines charging customers a lot of money andl jermaine was talking about spotting charging customers a lot of money and i don't know if you saw that things and thinking, you know what, re ce nt and i don't know if you saw that recent example of someone called luke who had filled in his ticket, they are homesick or whatever, maybe there is something else going on. and the autocorrect on his phone and taking the time to investigate turned into lukewarm so he became whether a friend of yours or lukewarm on his flight ticket and he somebody you know is going a difficult place. and with men

had to pay quite a lot of money to particularly. tom, one of the contributors, said... on this day change the ticket so what's happening here is the aviation regulator says things like that are was huge for him. a friend of his was huge for him. a friend of his was sat next to him one day and he unacceptable. some firms give you 24 hours to check and change it but if turned to him because he noticed he was looking and feeling different, you want to cancel and give it to and he said, are you ok? that was someone you want to cancel and give it to someone else, the regulator says there must be an end to rip—off the door that enabled tom, who at fees. we will speak to ryanair and the door that enabled tom, who at the time said he was ok, but he phoned his friend later in the day about 25 minutes. this is a chap and it was the start of his process in coming to terms with what he was called paul clark. the headline is quite good. have a look at the poor going through. those three words, are you ok. it's really important. lad. he was playing a kids if you missed it, a royal team talk: tackling mental health, playground. apparently he was is available now on the bbc iplayer. demonstrating it to his daughter. he and it will be there for a couple of got stuck in the rocker and he months, so plenty of time to catch up months, so plenty of time to catch up with it. carol is at the chelsea flower show this morning, getting a sneak peak genuinely said, i know you're before the gates open probably thinking it was unnecessary, we had to call the fire to the public tomorrow. is this the royal garden? it brigade because if we hadn't, he certainly is. good morning to you would still be stuck in there. let's cut him out. some people think i was both. the rhs garden called back to nature. you can see the lovely waking the rescue team's time but if waterfall designed by andre davis

a pledge to make london "i know i'm going to come back a dementia friendly city. "and i know when i'm going to come back," because i thought that dementia affects more than 70,000 people in the capital. is a blessing for me. research shows that despite almost it's a blessing but i still want all of us knowing someone affected by the condition, two—thirds to have my own dreams, of people living with dementia i still want to have my own career. report feeling isolated and lonely. when you came back after having your son, how did you feel physically? rail passengers on lines in and out did you feel that maybe your of the capital have experienced more maternity leave had taken its toll delays on your or actually than anywhere else in did you feel fearless because of what you'd been through? the country. research by consumer group which? suggests 4 million hours were lost i realised how powerful women are, due to delays last year. london north eastern railway how strong, how important the life and virgin trains east coast were the worst affected.the study also just over a third of passengers of a woman, notjust in my life it's don't claim the compensation been really important, they're entitled to. my mum, my grandma has been huge role models for me but i feel a spoken word artist from north—west london has scooped the top prize at like what i do is a little the british art awards. he took six bit privileged compared awards including the main prize for to the single mums who work her you heard about george's pod 9:00 till 8:00 or 9:00 to 5:00, and get their chance cast, a serious series talking about to see their baby maybe only in the evening. i feel blessed that i'm able the tower fire, poverty and music. to do that and i feel that they are big role models.

he said he wanted to give young to me, that's how i approach that. people away rethink their situation, what do you think women's especially if they are in the inner tennis could do to support city, like i was. returning mothers more? we can be a pioneer in paving that let's take a look at road for maternity leave, the travel situation now. paid maternity leave because it is important. those things matter. having childcare on tour. turning to the roads — the north circular is closed it happens in other sports, southbound from staples corner to neasden following a collision. three bus routes are on diversion. it happens in big companies and we are a big company in the way in little venice: warwick avenue is closed following a stabbing last we are a business in which we have night. kilburn: belsize road closed eastbound from to look at and try to get better the a5 kilburn high road. and i feel like that's what i want my legacy in a way to be. i'm fighting for women to be more comfortable, now the weather with kate kinsella. to break those stereotypes and to move the needle a little forward than when i started good morning. it's a mild start out and i think that evolution is going to continue to break there this morning but are rather the boundaries of illusion grey one. there is some low cloud, a of women in sport. little bit of misting is but it will lift and we will see some sunny spells and scattered heavy showers. the low cloud this morning, you she is really interesting when she mightjust feel a

the low cloud this morning, you might just feel a spotter or two of light rain and drizzle at first but talks about coming back physically clear, the cloud breaks up and we'll see some lovely sunny spells. being afraid and panicking a bit, feeling quite warm as well and that and then physically being able to come back. she was in rome yesterday could trigger off wanted to potentially quite heavy slow—moving thundery showers. temperatures and won the doubles. so she is back. getting up to 20 celsius when the sunshine, if you're by the showers, it is going to feel pleasant. later this week we'll also hear from england footballer toni duggan, overnight tonight, still showery to vlogger and yoga teacher shona vertue. start with. largely dry and largely you might not have heard of her but clear. a lovely bright start she is david beckham's pt. are you tomorrow morning, it might be a bit of misting us as a result of those calling her your personal trainer clear skies but we will see less now as well? i am, i have done one cluttered tomorrow, more sunshine, exercise with her! again we are always at risk of a heavy slow—moving shower, temperatures getting up to around 22 time now to get the news, celsius. similar conditions to travel and weather where you are. wednesday and like i said, we are never far away from those showers. i'm back with the latest in half—an—hour. have a lovely morning. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin.

dry weather at times. high—quality community support. what this report has found is that there are children with learning disabilities and autism who have been stuck in institutions for too long, far away from home, many are suffering really poor treatment and conditions. this is something that parents are absolutely at their wits end about and something that ministers, the nhs and local authorities need to change immediately. the leader of the royal college of nursing is preparing to call for safe staffing levels to be enshrined in law in england, as they are in scotland and wales. there are currently around 40,000 vacant nhs nursing posts in england. the government says it is committed to increasing the number of nurses in training by 25%. the government must invest this is business live from bbc in nurse education. news with maryam moshiri and sally bundock. we have 40,000 vacancies at the moment another blow to the chinese and it is not sustainable. telecoms giant huawei — google cuts it off from vital services. we need them to invest live from london, that's our top story in the education so we can have more on monday 20th may. people train as nurses.

have robust contingency plans if there are major cancellations and delays. they are introducing a thousand new training services, fewer than last year, but they are asking people to check because they have schedule changes that might disrupt someone's journey in today. check the timetables and be aware. don't check your old timetables either. the duchess of cambridge, received the royal seal of approval from her children when they tested out a garden she helped design for the chelsea flower show. princess charlotte, and princes george and louis, were filmed together, with their parents, for the first time, as they played and paddled in a stream. the duchess said her aim is to encourage children to spend more time outdoors. we will have more on that later.

england won by 54 runs. their next match is a warm—up against australia on saturday. brooks koepka survived a big scare to win the us pga championship for the second year in a row. he led by seven shots going into the final round at bethpage, before his fellow—american dustin johnson closed to within a single shot. but he couldn't keep up, and koepka made it four major wins in his last eight starts. phenomenal. i think that is a good word. i mean, it has been a hell of a run and it has been fun and i'm trying not to let it stop. it is super enjoyable and just trying to ride that momentum. british number one, johanna konta says she's pleased with her progress despite failing in her bid to win a first major title on clay. she lost to the world number seven, karolina pliskova, in straight sets in the italian open final, but after beating two top—10 players to get to this final, konta will now be seeded at the french open, which starts on sunday.

an 89th minute penalty against rangers helped kilmarnock qualify for europe for the first time since 2001. their manager steve clarke appeared to bid farewell to the fans afterwards. he's been linked to the vacant scotland job. and celtic‘s eighth title—winning season in a row ended with a 2—1win over hearts. mikeyjohnston scoring both their goals. tom daley has won gold at diving's world series event in london, alongside grace reid, in the mixed 3—metre synchro springboard — the pair clinched the title with this superb final dive. it's proving to be a successful partnership. reid and daley had already won a silver and three bronze medals in the event but this was their first gold. favourite story of the day. billy monger has won a race for the first time since having both his legs amputated after a crash two years ago. he's competing in euroformula open races and he won the pau grand prix. he posted this picture on social media,

saying... we had a great interview and he just does not stop smiling. you can see in his face the enthusiasm he has for the sport and his positivity. with three days to go until the european elections, the opinion polls are in full swing and predicting some significant results. but after some wrong calls in recent elections and referendums, does anyone believe them anymore? in a moment we'll speak to the bbc‘s head of statistics. first, here's a little reminder that cynicism over opinion polls has been around for quite some time. are you worried about the number of young people without jobs? are you worried about the number of young people withoutjobs? yes. are young people withoutjobs? yes. are you worried about the rise in crimes in teenagers? yes. do you think there is a lack of discipline in our schools? yes stop to think people

respond to a challenge? would you be in favour of reintroducing national service? well, i suppose i might. yes or no? yes. alternative is a young lady can get a different result. do you think there is a danger in giving people guns in teaching how to kill? yes. would you oppose the reintroduction of national service? yes. that was a clip from the great yes minister. which was first broadcast more than 30 years ago — and the reputation of polls has only gone down since then. someone who still holds faith in them, up to a point, is the bbc‘s head of statistics, robert cuffe. why do we bother with opinion polls? the only thing worse of asking

people what they think is not asking them anything at all. you need to keep on doing it. the problem is you have different companies asking different groups of people different questions in different orders and then using different methods to work it out. the polls will go up and down all the time. the polls for labour, for example in the run—up to the election campaign, it is like a katy perry song. if you tried to follow them moment to moment, you just get dizzy so you cannot be trying to focus on every detail. so what do you do then? you tried to ta ke what do you do then? you tried to take a look at an average. that smooth out some of it. at the bbc, we will look at the most recent polls and give them more weight. the general trend for labour has kind of

been down but for all the reasons i said at the start, you still cannot say it is 34.6%. you need to give yourself a margin of error so if you are tying yourself into a neck and neck race with two days to go and they are one point apart, forget about it. look at the broad view. they are one point apart, forget about it. look at the broad viewm is never quite as good or bad as you think it is. it is not looking too great for the tories at the moment, if you bring in the other parties as well. again, looking at the broad trends, some parties are zooming away and they have been taking votes mainly from the conservatives and from labour and from ukip.

mainly from the conservatives and from labourand from ukip. it mainly from the conservatives and from labour and from ukip. it is really the lib dems punching through the most. they are doing the best of those remain parties.” the most. they are doing the best of those remain parties. i don't want to bring this up really but we should, it has been going wrong for pollsters in recent years. have there been lessons learned? an enquiry last year, and also after their 2015 election. if you look at their 2015 election. if you look at the long—term history, polling is not much better or worse but we have just had a very tight series of elections. 52—48, a hung parliament, into thousand 17 the tories only just crept over. after 1992 it was much wider... you are obviously far

too young to remember it but when you have got parties running neck and neck, that is when the natural uncertainty wins. of course you're not going to predicted. thank you very much. more news and analysis on the eu elections on the website. carol is at the chelsea flower show this morning, getting a sneak peak before the gates open to the public tomorrow. good morning, it is stunning. we've just come into the great pavilion. during this small area alone, there are 15,000 tulips. almost 200 different varieties. this is the only place in the word will get that many different tulips, varieties altogether. they are all from north bedfordshire. what a kaleidoscope of

colour. in the pavilion itself which ta kes colour. in the pavilion itself which takes 2000 hours to erect, it's huge. the whole structure is almost three acres. that's roughly about the average size ofjust over 3000 british gardens. this year, 54 new pla nts british gardens. this year, 54 new plants are going to be judged british gardens. this year, 54 new plants are going to bejudged inside the great pavilion. it's dry outside, dry inside you as well. the forecast for assault today is one of sunshine but also showers and some of the showers are likely to be heavy. in fact, torrentialfor some. slow—moving and also thundery. there is no wind to be moving these showers along. it could be said that is the case. the likelihood is, it could be torrential and also thundery. we have a lot of cloud around first thing. that will tend

to dinner break in the sun will come out. temperatures wise and will get showers forming. particularly heavy across parts of north—east scotland in eastern england but we can see a shower this afternoon. as we head into this evening at overnight, many of the showers will fade. we will see more cloud lapping from the north sea with overnight lows falling to between four and 11. the bulk of the uk, not too cold. then as we head on into tomorrow, any mist and fog forms overnight will quickly lift. cloud coming in from the north will start to break up and we'll see sunny skies developed over the north of scotland, a bit more cloud in hereto, we are not immune to some heavy thundery showers. we will see other showers develop in other parts of the uk. but they will be fewer and further than we are looking at today. the top

temperature, 22 degrees. as we head into wednesday, we have a weather front across scotland. a lot of cloud across the northern half of scotla nd cloud across the northern half of scotland with rain slowly sinking south. for the rest of the uk, it's going to be a largely dry day. again, the risk of a shower and if you catch one, it could be heavy and potentially thundery but as is the way with showers, most of us will miss them all together and have a largely dry day with temperatures on wednesday peaking at about 21 degrees. if you're coming to the chelsea shower —— chelsea flower show, the small risk of a shower. things start to look more unsettled. thank you very much. i put my hand

ina blue thank you very much. i put my hand in a blue pool at the flower show wa nts. in a blue pool at the flower show wants. my hand was blue for a whole week. he's one of the biggest names in showbiz, and is recognised around the world for his heartfelt lyrics and flamboyant style. now, sir eltonjohn's life is getting the hollywood treatment, with a new biopic starring taron edgerton and richard madden. they spoke to breakfast‘s graham satchell, in their first uk tv interview, ahead of the premier in london tonight. and i think it's going to be a long, long time. you have, if! may and i think it's going to be a long, long time. you have, if i may say so, an amazing voice. labour i'm very comfortable with you saying that. that's good. an outstanding voice. it's beautiful because he knows how to sing and he knows how to act and he knows how to dance. it's going to be a wild ride. sir elton is the executive reducer on this film and i wonder whether you felt it was a help or hindrance.”

think i've felt very much that it's a help. there is a world in which i might not have felt that way because it's an iteration of the story and one that doesn't hold back from the darker moments. i think i would have felt slightly crestfallen, but tha nkfully felt slightly crestfallen, but thankfully our subject matter is a brave man and a main with integrity. —— man with integrity. brave man and a main with integrity. -- man with integrity. elton. i know it seems all a bit overwhelming at first but something makes me think you will get used to it. in fact, i think you could be the best selling artist in america if you like. so you like the song, then? not quite as much as the singer. his first partner, they were together for five yea rs before partner, they were together for five years beforejohn partner, they were together for five years before john reid partner, they were together for five years beforejohn reid started managing elton john and

years beforejohn reid started managing eltonjohn and the relationship started from a place of love and passion and changed and became something really different as the film goes on when you watch it. your name, taryn, in walsh means thunder. and my mother does not like me telling this story so now it is taron, if you're going to make it english but originally my name was conceived as something else. you saying on stage with elton. it's a great dream, growing up? it's a privilege and an honour and i think he really enjoyed it well which is really exciting and really fun.

hold me closer, tiny dancer. count the headlights on the highway.” wish everyone knew elton 10% more so they could know how good taron is at portraying him and bringing all the best elements taron does throughout the whole film which is a film about love and overcoming so much in your life, despite the bad things and still at the end of it having this beautiful positive outlook on life which elton has. and i'm very at peace with where we have arrived and where we have landed and i hope that people are moved and i hope that people are moved and i hope that people are moved and i hope that people are slightly challenged at times and! people are slightly challenged at times and i hope that ultimately it's up —— uplifting. times and i hope that ultimately it's up -- uplifting. thank you very much. labour thank you for your time. give very much indeed. there is no doubt about it, taron can sing

indeed. the low cost carrier is rarely out of the news — and not always for the best of reasons. profits for ryan auer about this morning and they are down 29% from last year despite them carrying more passengers. profits coming in at £893 million. that's despite them carrying more people round the world. good morning. what do you make of these figures. 29%. despite the fact that you have more people on its planes. pricing remains soft of course, due to overcapacity. our customers enjoyed fares of 37 euros. however, they are continuing to spend money on ancillary products,

priority boarding, car hire and hotels which helped offset that little bit. costs increased about 5% and ourfuel little bit. costs increased about 5% and our fuel bill was little bit. costs increased about 5% and ourfuel bill was up about little bit. costs increased about 5% and our fuel bill was up about 440 million. what i find astonishing is that you are carrying more passengers and doing something, whether it's price. it's probably not service. a survey published in january rank you at the bottom of 19 carriers or customer service. we been trying to work on your image as an airline. that is what will carry this year. got the best on time performance. we've got a tremendous customer service offering for them. 24-7 customer service offering for them. 24—7 customer care. we have a 10—a

promise in relation to compensation and of course as i said, the lowest average fare is 37 euros. our customers come back to us in numbers. that's what i find astonishing. you are getting people on your planes. it strikes me that people will travel with you because you are cheap. they are not there for the service, it's because it's cheap so you don't really need to ca re cheap so you don't really need to care about the service. one of the most important things for our customers is on—time performance and we are number one when it comes to that, have spent a lot of time and effort in ensuring punctuality has improved over the past year. that's something we will continue to work ha rd something we will continue to work hard on. got great —— great choice. prime airports across europe at the right times of the day and very good prices. our customers value that. the same service that we offer.

ryanair has an awful lot to offer andi ryanair has an awful lot to offer and i would not spend too much time worrying about these surveys because to be honest, do not representative of what the customers are saying. one thing they are saying is this idea if you are typing in your name and you need to change that and what and you need to change that and what a ticket, the regulator is saying you need to get better at this and not charges much for it. it's free on yourairline if not charges much for it. it's free on your airline if i do it within 48 hours but it costs me up to 160 quid ifi hours but it costs me up to 160 quid if i don't. that is sky high pricing for something that is a relatively simple change. i think 48 hours is one of the best windows out there, a significant amount of time for people to get onto our call centre or have a web chat and get things fixed free of charge. 48 hours but ba and virgin do it for free. fixed free of charge. 48 hours but ba and virgin do it forfree. good stuff, nice to talk to you. we'll

talk more about that after seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. a 19—year—old man is in a critical condition after he was stabbed in south london. olice were called to st oswalds road in norbury around three thirty yesterday afternoon. a stop and search order is in place across croydon, bromley and parts of lambeth with extra police officers on patrol. it's a year since the mayor signed a pledge to make london a dementia friendly city. dementia affects more than 70,000 londoners. research shows that despite almost all of us knowing someone affected by the condition, two—thirds of people living with dementia say they feel isolated and lonely. this week events will take place for dementia action week across the capital. rail passengers on lines in and out of the capital have experienced more delays

than anywhere else in the country. research by consumer group which? suggests four million hours were lost due to delays last year. london north eastern railway and virgin trains east coast were the worst affected. a spoken word artist from north west london has scooped the top prize at the british podcast awards. george the poet whose real name is george mpanga took home six awards including the main prize for ‘have you heard george's podcast? his series includes discussions on topics such as the grenfell tower fire, poverty and music. he said he set up the podcast to give young people a way to rethink their situation, especially if they're from inner cities like him. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the trains: south western railway: has speed restrictions all day at wimbledon because of a fault with the track. some alterations and cancellations expected all day.

turning to the roads — the north circular is closed southbound from staples corner to neasden following a collision. three bus routes are on diversion. in little venice: warwick avenue is closed following a stabbing last night. no woolwich ferry because of industrial action. kilburn: belsize road closed eastbound from the a5 kilburn high road. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning but are rather there is some low cloud, a little bit of mistiness but it will lift and we will see some sunny spells and scattered heavy showers. the low cloud this morning, you mightjust feel a spot or two of light rain and drizzle at first but clear, the cloud breaks up and we'll see some lovely sunny spells. it will feeli quite warm as well and that could trigger off wanted or two to potentially quite heavy slow—moving thundery showers. temperatures getting up to 20 celsius when the sunshine,

if you avoide the showers, it is going to feel pleasant. overnight tonight, still showery to start with. largely dry and largely clear. a lovely bright start tomorrow morning, it might be a bit of misting us as a result of those clear skies but we will see less cloud tomorrow, more sunshine, again we are always at risk of a heavy slow—moving shower, temperatures getting up to around 22 celsius. similar conditions for wednesday and like i said, we are neverfar away from those showers. i'm back with the latest in half—an—hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: google blocks huawei from its mobile services — new smartphones will not have access to popular apps, including maps and youtube. theresa may makes her final push to

get colleagues to support her bill. steph's been back to her roots to find out how middlesbrough is defying claims it's the "worst place to be a girl". iam i am really proud to be from here, it has given me my accident, my education and some of my happiest moments. post offices under threat. there are warnings that as many as 2,500 post offices could be forced to close within the next 12 months, as post office workers call for the government to save the network from collapse. i'll have more. england show why they're the favourites to win the cricket world cup. with just 10 days to go, they beat pakistan again, checking out mum's handiwork — the five cambridges filmed together for the first time, as they visit the duchess' garden at the chelsea flower show. good morning, this is pretty much what you yorkshire is like. it is cloudy in london at the moment and across many areas. the cloud will

then and break. but there will be some torrential showers for some and i will tell you where in 15 minutes. it's monday 20th may. our top story: technology giant google has suspended business with the chinese tech firm, huawei. the block means any new android smartphones will no longer have access to google apps, like gmail and playstore, and will not receive security updates and technical support. it comes after the us blacklisted the company, over claims it is spying for the chinese government, which huawei denies. dave lee has more. like most of the smartphones in the world, huawei's devices are powered by google's android operating system. it menas intergrated access to hugely popular services, it means intergrated access to hugely popular services, like youtube, gmail and maps, as well as google's voice assistant and security updates. but last week the us government added huawei to a list of foreign entities that us

companies cannot work with, unless they obtain government approval. approval google does not yet seem to have and may not get. a spokesman told the bbc... for consumers it means this, huawei's smartphones that are already on the market will still have access to everything they do today, including security updates, but when google launches the next version of android, later this year, it may not be available on huawei devices. future huawei devices may not have any google services at all services consumers have come to expect. the us insists its moves against huawei are about security. they say the chinese tech giant could be used to spy upon americans but huawei and china say this is about undermining a company that threatens apple's dominance in the tech industry and, and as the us—china trade dispute remains unresolved, this will likely be seen as an aggressive step by the us to force china's hand.

dave lee, bbc news, in san francisco. cabinet ministers will begin discussions today on what should be included in theresa may's amended brexit bill. the prime minister has promised a "bold" package of measures, which she hopes will attract cross—party support when the bill goes to a commons vote in two weeks time. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. it has been a while since we have spoken to you and said this is a big week! another big week for rex's, -- brexit. theresa may will take a new brexit. theresa may will take a new brexit deal, not the ones that have been rejected, to try and get it endorsed. it is to appeal notjust to conservative mps but also, if not to conservative mps but also, if not

to the labour party officially, at least two individual labour party mps to make brexit more attractive. a new deal will include something on workers rights, they want us to be in step with the eu and environmental standards. future trade relationships. no agreement and the abandoned dogs between labour and the conservatives. what theresa may has discussed with her top team, is to try to resolve those issues and find out how close we should be to the eu when it comes to customs arrangements as well. if you get that through parliament, we will get that through parliament, we will get a big bold speech but brexiteers saying what is in it for them? what about the irish backstop? i am told

it will still be there but with other alternatives. the key message will be, this deal may be the opportunity to avoid leaving with no deal at all. much to think about this morning. at 7:10 we'll be talking to the health secretary, matt hancock. looking at some of those things. an increasing number of vulnerable children with learning disabilities and autism, are being held in hospitals when they don't need to be there, according to a new report. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says children are being restrained, sedated and kept long distances from home. she wants a national strategy to tackle what she calls an "unacceptable situation". the government says it is putting significant investment into providing more high—quality community support. the leader of the royal college of nursing is preparing to call for safe staffing levels to be enshrined in law in england, as they are in scotland and wales. there are currently around 40,000 vacant nhs nursing posts in england. the government says it is committed

to increasing the number of nurses in training by 25%. there's a warning that as many as 2,500 post offices could be forced to close within the next 12 months. that's according to the national federation of sub—postmasters, who are calling on the government to save the network from collapse. the department for business says it's invested £2 billion in improving branches since 2010. a power failure that affected fuel supply at manchester airport has caused dozens of flights to be cancelled. problems began on sunday afternoon and were not resolved until 3am this morning. 87 flights were cancelled while others faced long delays. a spokesperson said "most scheduled flights" would operate as planned today. the duchess of cambridge, received the royal seal of approval from her children, when they tested out a garden she helped design for the chelsea flower show. princess charlotte, and princes george and louis, were filmed together, with their parents, for the first time, as they explored the exhibition.

our royal correspondent, daniela relph, has more. who better to test out mum's handiwork than her own children? george, charlotte and louis were soon in the swing of things, even if louis seemed a little distracted. over recent months, the duchess's children have gathered moss, leaves and twigs, now being used in this back—to—nature garden. this has been an intensely personal project for the duchess of cambridge, one she has been able to share with her own family as well as use to promote the issues that really matter to her. last week, the duchess helped install the garden at chelsea. its focus is family. she is rarely interviewed but on this project she wanted to speak out. there's so much that kiddies particularly can learn from environments like this. they can learn life skills.

anything from learning empathy from watching plants grow, to physical activities and climbing onto trees or onto boulders and things, helps with balance and co—ordination. it really is an open playground for them, it's a natural space, a really exciting space for kiddies and adults alike, to share and explore and hopefully that is what this garden will do. the royaljudges on this chelsea garden were pretty impressed with what they found. a piece of old—fashioned outdoor family adventure. daniela relph, bbc news, chelsea flower show. spoiler alert for all game of thrones fans! after 8 seasons, one of the most talked about tv shows, has come to an end. fans have complained about plot lines in the last series but that's unlikely to stop it

from being a ratingsjuggernaut. our los angeles correspondent, sophie long, has been at a watch party where the 80 minute finale aired a few hours ago. this goes beyond loyalty. there is no question that the cultural phenomenon that is game of thrones has been a ratings hit and resulted in big business for some. as fans prepared for viewing parties, this bakery sold around 30,000 limited edition cupcakes, breaking its previous record set by last year's royal wedding. this has been our all—time best selling limited edition cupcake. in the history of sprinkles, it's out biggest innovation yet. at a viewing party near venice beach, heated debate about how it was all going to end. what about a babyjon snow? that's a possibility, right? i mean, if she's pregnant... there was an atmosphere of great anticipation.

some hoping for relief, others an end to a disappointing season. i felt that the writing was kind of sloppy and it did not make any sense with the character arcs and all that. just a big release, i guess, from the anxiety that we have today. intense, like, so many emotions and just like anticipation that's fulfilled and never seeing it again. and then it was time. a whole pub completely absorbed. the debate over the quality of series * will continue, the debate over the quality of series 8 will continue, but in the united states the credits have rolled — winter is no longer coming. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. one of the television events. the

royal team talk as well, the prince talking about mental health. you revision. did you watch it? no. some talk about madonna. there is more important stuff to talk about this morning as well. theresa may will be putting her new brexit deal to mps in just two weeks and she's promising a "bold" set of measures which will appeal across the house of commons. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is already refusing to back the bill, along with many of her own backbench mps, so it's not clear how mrs may expects to get a majority. health secretary, matt hancock, joins us from our london studio. perhaps we should start with that, how will she get a majority? you said that various people have decided not to back the proposal — they have not seen the proposal. it will be discussed in cabinet tomorrow and then published and

essentially, for anybody who thinks that we should follow the democratic decision and the referendum and deliver on the results of that, this is the bill, the piece of legislation that does it. of course, they have is been a huge amount of debate in the past few months and yea rs on debate in the past few months and years on how to go ahead. —— there has been. there will be new proposals coming forward. cabinet will sign it off tomorrow so we cannot go into them in great details but then they will be the chance to debate and ultimately ask mps the question, especially the vast majority who voted for the referendum, like me, and to trigger article 50 and leave. this will be the legislation to actually deliver on the result of the referendum and so on the result of the referendum and so mps should be backing at and that

once they see the details they will be prepared to do so. you say you will not tell us much of the detail but it has to be something spec macular given the bill has been turned down time and again. —— spectacular. it has not been turned down, there were so—called meaningful votes on the principle of leaving with the deal negotiated with the eu but that is different from the actual legislation that brings forward the agreement to leave the european union, which includes in at a whole load of proposals what the future relationship is as well as details of the withdrawal agreement so that will all be discussed and finalised and finally agreed at cabinet tomorrow and then we will be able to show, i think,

tomorrow and then we will be able to show, ithink, having engaged tomorrow and then we will be able to show, i think, having engaged with a huge amount of people right across the house — yes, all these talks with the labour leader which did not result in an agreement — but with all the other parties and conservatives and the dup. it will ultimately come down to this, do you wa nt to ultimately come down to this, do you want to deliver on the referendum result? not is this your perfect resolution to brexit and exactly what you want but the piece of legislation that will deliver on the result of the referendum and i think therefore that we have a duty because i believe in democracy, we have a duty to deliver it. you sound confident. nigel evans spoke to this programme earlier. it has failed three times and you can watch the movie titanic 100 times but i'm

afraid the ship sinks every time so if you're going to bring back this deal and it still has the backs of inner, a numberof deal and it still has the backs of inner, a number of conservative mp and others are saying enough is enough. what is your response to that? i like nigelvery much and he voted to have a referendum and i know that he has a different view of how we should exactly the details on which we should leave but the question is binary. i was going to leave the european union or not? given as parliament and the make—up this parliament, the legislation needed to actually deliver on the result has got to take into account what will get through this parliament. the only other way to get a different sort of brexit, nigel would like a brexit that is

less with the relationship of the eu afterwards and i understand that point of view but the only way to get to that will be to have a general election and have a general election before we've on brexit but ultimate, it would go to the heart of the failure so far to deliver on commitments. parliament has not allowed us to deliver on the commitment that we made that we would honour the result of the referendum and we need to do that. can we look ahead to something we do know. theresa may has said she is going to leave. are you going to throw your hat into the ring? i'm not going to rule it out. what i ca re not going to rule it out. what i care about is the future of the conservative party is, absolutely dominating the centre ground of british politics. that means delivering on things that matter to people. the pound in your pocket and high—quality public services. let's move forward to all the big things we need to do after that. you say

you won't rule it out. how much support of you got? utah —— can't ta ke support of you got? utah —— can't take it as yes. i'm totally concentrating as you can see on trying to deliver brexit and get this withdrawal bill over the line and of course, on running the nhs day to day but as you say, there will come a time when there is a leadership election and what really matters is that we don'tjust look for the leaderfor now, matters is that we don'tjust look for the leader for now, we look for the leaderfor the for the leader for now, we look for the leader for the future so that once we've delivered exit, all the things that we can do, where i think there is a huge amount to offer a huge opportunity really to move forward and to deliver for britain. matt hancock, thank you for your time this morning. should we go to the chelsea flower show? it's lovely about this morning. carol has given

usa about this morning. carol has given us a sneak peak. so lovely, look at that. good morning, carol. how lucky am i? we are currently in the green fingers charter garden designed by kate gold. green fingers charity creates guidance for hospices around the uk. look at the flowers. we've got irises but we are notjust on one level, we are actually on two levels. we have a second story up here and you get up here with a working lift and if you consider 18 days ago none of this was here, that is pretty spectacular. the garden is designed to be fun, interact with and uplifting for families to come with our seriously ill children to play, to reflect, just to think and i think it would be much does achieve that. it's lovely. can't help but notice all the green fingers right behind there with the world —— water flowing fingers right behind there with the world —— waterflowing down. the

forecast today is cloudy here in london but the sun will come out and for all of us, it is a fairly cloudy start. we are looking at some sunshine and also showers. some of the showers are likely to be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. slow—moving because as you can see, there is hardly an isobar inside. in fa ct, there is hardly an isobar inside. in fact, not just today there is hardly an isobar inside. in fact, notjust today before the next few days, are likely to see some torrential, heavy and thundery showers. but not everywhere. we will lose the mist and fog patches we have on the west quite rapidly this morning. the cloud will start to break up and we will see the sun come out the we are not immune to showers. we could see happy ones across northern and eastern parts of scotla nd across northern and eastern parts of scotland and eastern england and if you catch one, you will know all about it but now showers so we will see one. also a few showers, not as heavyin see one. also a few showers, not as heavy in northern ireland and the south—west through the afternoon but in the sunshine from the top temperature is likely to be 20 or 21 degrees in the south—east. as we

head through the evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade but we will hang onto showery up fade but we will hang onto showery up weeks of rain. here too, a lot of cloud around more cloud romping in from the north sea. lengthy clear spells with temperatures falling to between four and 11 degrees. the most, it's not going to be a particularly cold night ahead. tomorrow we start off with the rain across scotland. there will be a fair bit of sunshine around. like today, we will see further heavy thundery showers develop. our showers so we won't all see them and i will be fewer and further between them today. top temperatures tomorrow up to 22 celsius in london. or wednesday, it's the northern half of the country that we have a weather front. across northern of the country that we have a weatherfront. across northern and central scotland, more cloud with rain slowly sinking southwards. the

rest of scotland, all of england, wales and northern ireland, a brighter day when we lose morning cloud with sunshine and still a few of those pesky showers. some of those are crying out for some rain so we won't be all thinking that still have the potential to see heavy and under the rain with highs up heavy and under the rain with highs up to 19 or20 heavy and under the rain with highs up to 19 or 20 degrees. as we head towards the weekend and the bank holiday weekend, i pressure gives way to low pressure and things turned a bit more unsettled. i'd forgotten it was bank holiday weekend. spoiler alert, bank forgotten it was bank holiday weekend. spoileralert, bank holiday weekend. spoileralert, bank holiday weekend. was that unscheduled? you forgot and said you were going to work? have to check the diary. oh, you! hello, sally. how are you? quite busy at the moment. interesting chats with people. a big, big summerof interesting chats with people. a big, big summer of women's sport. we got the netball to talk about. i've

been all over the place talking to the most significant women's moment, women at the top of their game. some of them you might not know, but this morning we are starting with victoria as a raincoat, tennis player, former world number one. victoria as a raincoat, tennis player, formerworld number one. —— victoria as a raincoat. —— azarenka. she has earned $28 million in prize money and is at the top of the game. she had a baby and she talks about what it's like coming back to that level of tennis with a baby in tow. she is a single mom, a little boy travels with her all over the world so travels with her all over the world soi travels with her all over the world so i went out to madrid to talk to herand find so i went out to madrid to talk to her and find out what it's like. her sport has been her life. she is a former world number one and has 12 grand slam titles she is a former world number one and has won two grand slam titles but for victoria azarenka, tennis had to take a backseat

when she found out was pregnant. in my mind, my first thing i thought that, "oh, my god, my career is over, i will never play tennis again "and i don't know what to do." i was shocked, i was panicked. but then it was all about, "i know i'm going to come back "and i know when i'm going to come back," because i thought that is a blessing for me. it's a blessing but i still want to have my own dreams, i still want to have my own career. when you came back after having your son, how did you feel physically? did you feel that maybe your maternity leave had taken its toll on your or actually did you feel fearless because of what you'd been through? i realised how powerful women are, how strong, how important the life of a woman, notjust in my life it's been really important, my mum, my grandma has been huge role models for me but i feel like i do is a little bit privileged compared to the single mums who work

9:00 till 8:00 or 9:00 to 5:00, and get the chance to see the baby maybe only in the evening. i feel blessed that i'm able to do that and i feel that they are big role models. to me, that's how i approach that. what do you think women's tennis could do to support returning mothers more? we can be a pioneer in paving that road for maternity leave, paid maternity leave because it is important. those things matter. having a childcare. it happens in other sports, it happens in big companies and we are a big company in the way we are business in which we have to look at and try to get better and i feel like that's what i want my legacy in a way to be. i'm fighting for women to be more comfortable, to break those stereotypes and to move the needle a little forward than when i started

and i think that evolution is going to continue to break the boundaries of illusion of women in sport. really honest. good to hear from her. when she is honest about how tough it can be. she has a huge amount of cash to help along the way that she is a ground breakup. there are not many other women doing that on the tour. barcelona. toni duggan. toni duggan, vlogger and yoga teacher shona vertue and england and great britain field hockey captain alex da nson. do you not watch your revision? did you? only watched a tiny bit because i was doing some fa cup and i saw madonna sing flat. she had a bit of a shocker. how did that happen?

isn't it all recorded? she had some live issues and so did we, a uk boy, michael rice, i think. rock bottom. they're what is going on now? we need a handicap system where we start on 300 points and see if we can finish on the table for once. nothing has been as good as aber in your revision. until they match that, i won't watch it. —— abba at eurovision. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. two teenagers are in a critical condition after being stabbed in seperate incidents in south and west london. police were called to st oswalds road in norbury around yesterday afternoon where a 19—year—old was found witn stab injuries. a stop and search order is in place across croydon, bromley and parts of lambeth with extra police officers on patrol. another 19—year—old was stabbed

it will clear, the cloud breaks up and we'll see some lovely sunny spells. it's going to feel quite warm as well and the warmth could trigger off one or two to potentially quite heavy slow—moving thundery showers. temperatures getting up to 20 celsius so in the sunshine, if you avoid the showers, it is going to feel pleasant. through the night. largely dry and largely clear. minimum temperatures again mild, 8—12 celsius. a lovely bright start tomorrow morning, it might be a bit of misting us as a result of those clear skies but we will see less cloud tomorrow, more sunshine, again we are always at risk of a heavy slow—moving shower, temperatures getting up to around 22 celsius. similar conditions for wednesday and like i said, we are neverfar away from those showers. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin.

here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: technology giant google has suspended business with the chinese tech firm, huawei. the block means any new android smartphones will no longer have access to google apps like gmail and playstore, and will not receive security updates and technical support. it comes after the us blacklisted the company, over claims it is spying for the chinese government, which huawei denies. cabinet ministers will begin discussions today on what should be included in theresa may's amended brexit bill. the prime minister has promised a "bold" package of measures, which she hopes will attract cross—party support when the bill goes to a commons vote in two weeks time. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has already said he won't be backing it. an increasing number of vulnerable children with learning disabilities and autism, are being held in hospitals when they don't need to be there, according to a new report. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says children are being restrained, sedated and kept long distances from home.

she wants a national strategy to tackle what she calls an "unacceptable situation". the government says it is putting significant investment into providing more high—quality community support. what this report has found is that there are children with learning disabilities and autism who have been stuck in institutions for too long, far away from home, many are suffering really poor treatment and conditions. this is something that parents are absolutely at their wits end about and something that ministers, the nhs and local authorities need to change immediately. the leader of the royal college of nursing is preparing to call for safe staffing levels to be enshrined in law in england, as they are in scotland and wales. there are currently around 40,000 vacant nhs nursing posts in england. the government says it is committed to increasing the number of nurses in training by 25%. the government must invest in nurse education. at the moment we have 40,000 vacancies and actually it is not sustainable. therefore we need them

to invest in the education so that we can have more people train as nurses. a power failure that affected fuel supply at manchester airport has caused dozens of flights to be cancelled. problems began on sunday afternoon and were not resolved until 3am this morning. 87 flights were cancelled while others faced long delays. a spokesperson said "most scheduled flights" would operate as planned today. the duchess of cambridge, received the royal seal of approval from her children when they tested out a garden she helped design for the chelsea flower show. princess charlotte, and princes george and louis, were filmed together, with their parents, for the first time, as they played and paddled in a stream. the duchess said her aim is to encourage children to spend more time outdoors. coming up on the programme, carol has the weather from the chelsea flower show.

smashed the roof in. today they threatened another monumental total but sometimes the higher you aim, the wobblier the foundations. after root went for 84, others followed. england stalled and yet still scored 351, somehow. if there is a question mark amid the exclamation marks, it's around england's bowling. here was chris wokes' answer. fakhar zaman, the first of three wickets in his first two overs. he finished with five. pakistan steadied themselves but were then spun off course. this from adil rashid, cricket's equivalent of a back—heeled finish. and this is the final whistle — england take the series 4—0. the world cup starts a week on thursday and authorities want to sell it as a carnival but for all the dancing and singing, the success of this tournament may depend on england winning it. brooks koepka survived a big scare to win the us pga championship

for the second year in a row. he led by seven shots going into the final round at bethpage, before his fellow—american dustin johnson closed to within a single shot. but he couldn't keep up, and koepka made it four major wins in his last eight starts. phenomenal. i think that's a good word. i mean, it's been a hell of a run. it's been fun and i'm trying not to let it stop. it's super enjoyable and just try to ride that momentum. british number one, johanna konta says she's pleased with her progress despite failing in her bid to win a first major title on clay. she lost to the world number seven, karolina pliskova, in straight sets in the italian open final — but after beating two top—10 players to get to this final, konta will now be seeded at the french open, which starts on sunday. rafa nadal won the men's title. after 11 years, 360 games and 10 major trophies at manchester city, captain vincent kompany has played his last game for the club. he says it's the right time to leave, after winning

iam hoping i am hoping they do really well. i will not be part of it but hopefully iam will not be part of it but hopefully i am still there in spirit and hopefully i will be able to watch some of the games without crying. i am definitely disappointed but... that's performance sport. sometimes you are in it and sometimes you are not. such a tough call. well done for doing that interview. it must be absolutely heartbreaking. that tournament is just around the corner. tom daley has won gold at diving's world series event in london, alongside grace reid, in the mixed 3—metre synchro springboard — the pair clinched the title with this superb final dive. you and louise could do that! it's proving to be a successful partnership — reid and daley had already won a silver and three bronze medals in the event but this was their first gold. they even do synchronised waving.

here. it has given me by accident, a great education and some of my happiest memories. i am independent and resilient because i grew up here. i was absolutely raging when they said it was the worst place to grow up as a girl. and i was not the only one. in response, they set up a charity called ruby. ijust thought it was not a table i wanted to be associated with. we decided we needed to put a different message out. before you were doing this, did any of you feel you were not good enough. did you! that makes me really sad. i always thought i was

ugly... you are not. you are gorgeous and brilliant. how do you feel now? i felt more beautiful. you. you said that really quietly but i am so pleased you said that. we have to think good enough.” never thought i would be able to become a doctor but ruby's has helped me to think i could do that. ifa helped me to think i could do that. if a kid going to school.” helped me to think i could do that. if a kid going to school. i am not going to pretend things are perfect. it has problems just like anywhere but things are improving. would you also you are confident women? yes. meeting some of the girls at this college, there is no shortage of ambition. i am going to uni. doing prime education. electrical technician. an apprenticeship. do you think it is harder being a girl here than anywhere else? not at all.

they are focusing on the negative and not the positive. can anything more be done? more work experience. more focus on mental health. dealing with lack of confidence is a big issue, notjust in middlesborough. what these girls also need role models. as business leaders we are giving back. these businesswomen think they are making progress. i think they are making progress. i think there has been much more cooperation. much more working at partnership. there have been a but amazing innovation and rejuvenation happening locally. the pride you cannot measure counts for so much. we have this momentum and we must encourage young people to challenge themselves and show them what opportunities are out there. are you

proud to be from middlesborough? yes. do you think you can do just as well as anybody else in the country? yes. good, because you can. there'll be lots more from "we are middlesbrough" across bbc news all this week. and if you're in middlesbrough and have a story you want the bbc to cover — there's a pop—up newsroom in the cleveland shopping centre. thank you to all of you who got in contact with our menopause coverage. in various high—profile people talking about issues with mental health and depression. body image.

bill pendle was a 97—year—old vetera n bill pendle was a 97—year—old veteran and is having a conversation with his younger self. the rest of the troops are spreading out behind them as they land on the beach, is trying to struggle through the waves. probably 16, 17, 18 years old. it's amazing. you're talking about bill. he is a special friend of mine. we often shout a lot of things together. for a long time, he never told me why. the last couple of years of his life, he began to open upa of years of his life, he began to open up a bit. he used to go behind the enemy lines in the middle of the night. checking out their positions and reporting it back to the

headquarters. so the artillery in the air force would know where to bomb. what were your experiences of d—day? bomb. what were your experiences of d-day? my experience is a very appointment. fortunately, iwas d-day? my experience is a very appointment. fortunately, i was used to death but during the blitz, it was very traumatic. i wouldn't like to go the same experience again of seeing so many dead bodies floating in the waterand seeing so many dead bodies floating in the water and things like that. and on the beach. thank you so much for sharing that with us. you are saying this statue is made of water. the five sculptures, that is about 15,000 washers and individual well. it is washers and the weather is

about to change and the sun is starting to come out in the forecast for assault today is one of warm sunshine but there will be some heavy showers as well. the pressure chart, you can see there is hardly an insight stop not much wind to move the showers along if you catch one, it could prove to be potential —— torrential and thundery. first thing this morning, there is still some mist and fog patches around, particularly in the west. they were quickly left. the cloud that is across much of the uk will start in and break and the sun will come out. that will spark off some showers, especially across northeast scotland and eastern england but they are showers. not all of us will catch one. it will be heavy thundery and slow—moving. they won't be as heavy. temperatures today up to 20 degrees. this evening and overnight, there

will still be some across northern scotland. the temperatures falling to between four and 11 degrees. we lose the club we start the day with. we have more sunshine around and still some showers, some of those could be heavy across northern scotland. through the day we could see further showers develop. most of us won't see them, not as many as today and tomorrow's temperatures in the sunshine could reach 22 celsius in the london area. not too dissimilar. we have a weather front moving south across scotland, introducing the cloud and also some rain but the southern scotland and northern ireland, mostly dry, sunny skies, if you catch one, it could be heavy and possibly thundery. top temperatures by then up to 20

degrees. after that as we head into the end of the week in the bank holiday weekend, at the moment, louise and dan, it's looking more u nsettled. louise and dan, it's looking more unsettled. it's like you got a nice warm weather this morning. you very much. those sculptures are incredible. i love it. there is panic spread across the united kingdom. we have an hour to get to school. you have one job, which is to get that. we're talking about post offices. there's a warning that as many as 2,500 post offices could be forced to close within the next 12 months. that's according to the national federation of subpostmasters, who are calling on the government to save the network from collapse. it comes ahead of a parliamentary committee hearing set up to examine the long term resilience of the service.

1,000 post offices already listed as closed — two out of every three of those closures are caused by the resignation of the subpostmaster. there are warnings that a further 2,500 could close in the next year. that's based on a survey of the subpostmasters union — where 22% of subpostmasters said they plan on closing or downsizing their post office in the next 12 months. a lot of services of those branches used to provide have now gone on line said to give you for an example, that made about £1000 a monthjust for each example, that made about £1000 a month just for each individual post office. now we do it on line, they make about 70 quid from it. it's been a huge difference. making up that loss of revenues. government funding for these branches has

fallen sharply by £477 million. there is a big disparity in what they are doing. the questions about their future and the people who use them, really worrying. it's really important to lots of people. he's one of the biggest names in showbiz, and is recognised around the world for his heartfelt lyrics and flamboyant style. now, sir eltonjohn's life is getting the hollywood treatment, with a new biopic starring taron edgerton and richard madden. they spoke to breakfast‘s graham satchell, in their first uk tv interview, ahead of the premier in london tonight. # and i think it's going to be a long, long time.# you have, if i may say so, an amazing voice. i'm very comfortable with you saying that. that's good. very well deserved, he has an outstanding voice. it's beautiful because he knows how to sing and he knows how to act and he knows how to dance. it's going to be a wild ride.

so elton is the executive producer on this film. he is. and i wonder whether you felt it was a help or hindrance. i think i've felt very much that it's a help. there is a world in which i might not have felt that way because it's a specific iteration of this story and one that doesn't hold back from the darker moments. and i think i would have felt slightly crestfallen, had those moments gone by the wayside but thankfully our subject matter is a brave man and a main with integrity. and that's the story he wanted to tell too. john reid. elton. i know it seems all a bit overwhelming at first but something makes me think you'll get used to it. in fact, i think you could be the best selling artist in america if you desire. so you like the song, then? not quite as much as the singer. i play his first partner, they were together for five years

before john reid started managing elton john and the relationship started off from a place of love and passion and then changed and became something really different as the film goes on, as people will see when you watch it. your name, taron, in welsh means ‘thunder‘. is that right? what actually happened, ‘ta ran' is ‘thunder‘, so ‘taranau a mellt‘ is ‘thunder and lightning', and ‘taran' means ‘thunder‘ and my mother, she does not like me telling this story — she spelled it wrong on the birth certificate. no! so now it's taron, or taron, if you're going to make it english but no, originally my name was conceived as being something welsh. you sang on stage with elton. it's a great dream, growing up? it's a privilege and an honour and i think he really enjoyed it 01:54:53,659 --> 2147483052:34:11,545 well which is really 2147483052:34:11,545 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 exciting and really fun.
