mark harper, a former chief whip, 12th candidate has joined the race to replace prime minister theresa may. it comes as the cbi warns all the candidates that a no—deal brexit would cause "severe" damage to british businesses. in an open letter, the confederation of british industry, director—general carolyn fairbairn urged the next prime minister to reach an agreement with brussels, warning them that smaller companies can't afford the necessary preparations for leaving without a plan. businesses are resilient, but let's be absolutely clear. there is no such thing as managing no deal. it is impossible to prepare except for the very biggest companies. 85% of small companies cannot prepare, they haven't got the money all the time to be able to put contingency plans in place, so of course the world will carry on spinning. but we would have lost jobs, lost will carry on spinning. but we would have lostjobs, lost investment and damaged our economy. so, what do we know about mark harper, the 12th mp to announce his

bid for the top job? he says he is an underdog. he says he's the only candidate "not tainted by serving in theresa may's government." let's get more on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, in westminster. 12. this will take ages to get through all of them. it is getting a bit crowded. he becomes a 12 candidate tojoin bit crowded. he becomes a 12 candidate to join is already busy leadership contest. he is a former minister under david cameron's government, has been on the back benches for a while, so if you think it doesn't sound too familiar and you can't picture his face, you are not the only one. he acknowledges he is an underdog in the race, trying to turn the fact he hasn't been in government for a while to his advantage, saying he is not painted the way some other people are. they should take responsibility for the failure to deliver brexit so far. he says leaving without a deal is not an option and is in favour of a short focused extension to the article 50. two may be somehow renegotiated. he is selling himself

apart from the other candidates in saying that arguing the uk should come out on october 31 regardless. it isa come out on october 31 regardless. it is a crowded field and some of the conservative party i worried it could get ridiculous. iain duncan smith, the former leader, calling for a change in the rules to narrow the field slightly and raise the bar for candidates to enter. they could still be some more joining, couldn't they? talk about unlucky 13. gp surgery closures across the uk have reached an all—time high, affecting an estimated 500,000 patients last year according to new research. an investigation by the medical website pulse found under—resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close with many smaller practices merging to survive. our reporter leigh milner has more. that is excellent. every year, millions of people are treated by their local gp. over the past year, then nhs

has lost over 400 qualified gps and surgery closures across the uk are at an all—time high. according to new figures released by the medical magazine pulse, in 2013, just 18 surgeries shut across the uk. by last year, that number had increased to 138. nhs england, which runs the health service, said it refuted the pulse figures. according to their data, which only covers the past financial year, it hasn't seen fewer closures and disposals. let's lift this over your hand. the investigation also revealed that gps felt that increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties meant practices were often forced to close as a last resort. how can we help today? speaking earlier this month to the bbc, dr carmel who works in plymouth says something has to change. there is a crisis in general practice, it is very real,

it is the worst one since 19118. its future is injeopardy, there's no doubt about it. as a result of the surgery closures, the research revealed that more than 500,000 people were affected. a lawyer for shamima begum, the teenagejihadi bride who fled britain to join isis, has written to the home secretary accusing the uk authorities of failing to protect her from being trafficked by islamic state fighters. according to the letter seen by the bbc, ms begum was "groomed" and "trafficked to an isis—controlled territory." the letter cites multiple failings by authorities to safeguard the then 15—year—old schoolgirl. hanna yusuf reports. stripped of her british citizenship and held in a syrian refugee camp, shamima begum faces an uncertain future. she left her home in east london with two school friends. they managed to travel despite a close friend having made the journey to syria months earlier. according to her lawyer, shamima begum was targeted and trafficked by islamic state.

well, isis have a propaganda machine where they reached out to the world, into the mobile phone of shamima begum, and managed to groom her, giving her the advice that she needed to successfully, as a 15—year—old girl, evade uk police, counterterrorism, cross a border between syria and turkey and find herself betrothed under an isis ceremony to a 23—year—old man. the letter to the home secretary cites failures by the uk authorities to stop the three girls from leaving for syria. it claims the families should have been warned the girls were at risk of being trafficked for exploitation by isis fighters. police say there was no sign that any of the girls, who were pupils at bethnal green academy, were vulnerable or radicalised. the home office won't comment on the case but says decisions to deprive individuals of their citizenship are not taken lightly. shamima begum's family are challenging that decision

but say the little hope they had when she was first found has been stolen from them. for others, shejoined is willingly and should face the consequences. hanna yusuf, bbc news. the american singer r kelly has been charged with a further 11 sexual assault and abuse offences. court records show the charges relate to a child aged between 13 and 16 years old and some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. police in hungary have arrested the captain of a ship, which crashed into a smaller tourist boat on the river danube, killing at least seven people. the 64—year—old ukrainian national was held on charges of reckless misconduct following the incident in budapest. as well as the seven confirmed deaths, 21 people are still missing. uber has posted a loss of nearly £800 million. the compa ny‘s shares have sunk almost 11% since it became a public

stunning cathedral has stood here for almost 1000 years. it was struck by lightning twice during the 15th century so it has had a lot of repairs over the years, but over the past three years, the tower has been closed for a major renovation project, including replacing and repairing but a significant amount of the stonework at the top of the central cathedral tower. it is about to reopen to the public after that three—year closure. there is a stunning view from the top of the tower. this morning we have some clear skies around. it is a mild start to the day here in durham and it is going to be a mild start. how is looking across the this morning? we have some fairly humid air with us we have some fairly humid air with us at the moment, so temperatures fairly warm first thing. we have an area of high pressure bringing us a lot of dry weather. temperatures are on the rise as we had through the

weekend. many of us seek what a hot speu weekend. many of us seek what a hot spell of whether particular through the day on saturday. this morning we have high pressure setting towards the south, but there is a weather front moving in from the north—west bringing us fairly heavy rain this morning across parts of northern ireland and also scotland as well. england and wales having a predominantly dry start to the day. we have that rain quite heavy first thing across northern ireland into northern and western scotland as well. a few showers for the north—west of england. further south and east, dry conditions with clear spells around. a bit of mist and merc around the hills and coast in the west. sunshine develops that he had through the day and that will lift the temperatures pretty nicely. around 20 to 22 degrees across parts of england and wales. scotland and northern ireland typically around 15 to 18 degrees where you have the cloud, outbreaks of rain and fairly breezy as well. this evening and tonight, rain tends to ease away pushing to the northern ireland and clearing away. still a few showers in the far north—west but temperatures on the mild side. nine

to 13 degrees first thing saturday morning. saturday starts off in a dry, fine and mild note, a bit more cloud and spots of rain at times or parts of north wales, northern ireland and northern england as well. an improved day for scotland, one 01’ well. an improved day for scotland, one or two well. an improved day for scotland, one 01’ two showers well. an improved day for scotland, one or two showers around. 26 or 27 celsius down to what the southeast. it will feel quite hot. not quite as hot further north, but still up to the high teens. the second half of the high teens. the second half of the weekend and things turn u nsettled. the weekend and things turn unsettled. low pressure moving from the west. blustery showers working from west to east across much of the country. the south—east of england and east anglia mostly dry and warm, temperatures around 2a degrees. elsewhere across the country, not quite as warm as saturday and there will be those blustery showers around. all in all, things are looking not bad for many of us through the weekend. saturday will be your day for hot temperatures, more showers on the way for sunday.

back to you. how does it feel to be back? it is lovely being back. i was at university here. we have a picture of you. that was 16 years ago. we will show you a little bit later. we will show you a little bit later. we are saving it. 0h we are saving it. oh dear. she is more terrified of that. let's take a look at today's papers. the telegraph leads with comments from president trump weighing in on the tory leadership race, describing borisjohnson as a good guy. the picture captures england's great start to the cricket world cup. gp closures feature in most of the newspaper coverage this morning. the mail leads with the story, reporting that two surgeries are closing every week. the mirror has the same story.

the paper quotes a number of experts who blame the closures on nhs cuts and a shortage of family doctors. and the times leads with a poll they have conducted which suggests the liberal democrats have surged into first place in a voter intention poll. pictured is the amazing moment ben stokes made a one—handed catch as the cricket world cup got underway. let's talk about it a bit more. that catch has just dominated the back pages, and some of the front pages as well. what a moment for him, but the most interesting thing he said was he didn't mean to do it, he was technically in the wrong place, so really it was a bit of a fluke. i don't think i would have owned up to that, but it really is an incredible moment. it is the athleticism, the extraordinary angles. it is so hard to sum up in a picture, though. you

need to see it in action to appreciate what a move it was, what appreciate what a move it was, what a catch it was, one that we are going to see time and time again. you are building it up here, you are going to show us in a few minutes, it better be as good as you promise. also inside, we are looking ahead to the champions league final, we cannot not discuss it today, if you think back to the europa league, the times are talking about how at the europa league final in baku they had to open the term sales to fill some of those empty seats. obviously people struggling to travel over there, handing back tickets, and if you compare that to this, fake tickets to the champions league final, such as the demand for tickets in madrid that these people have actually created fake tickets. they are smuggling them through and selling them for thousands of pounds, so a warning today to anyone who is desperate to get that ticket, who is desperate to get that ticket, who is desperate to get that ticket, who is travelling over, to be very,

very careful. lots of people have gone over therejust very careful. lots of people have gone over there just hoping they will get something, haven't they?” am one of them, i will be going over there. a lot of people just excited to be part of the atmosphere. have you got a ticket? no, i've not got a ticket. have you got somewhere to stay? 0h ticket. have you got somewhere to stay? oh yes, i have got something to —— somewhere to stay. i will be looking forjurgen klopp to take pity on me. i think there will be no problem spending a bit of time in madrid, even if i don't get a ticket. this really made me smile this morning, a picture of some baby g i raffes. this morning, a picture of some baby giraffes. look at them. already seven foot toll. —— seven foot tall. and a couple of months ago a p pa re ntly and a couple of months ago apparently there were no calves among the eight strong herd at the

zoo, but it turns out they are like buses, you wait for ages and two come along at once. it is like the tory leadership campaign, and talking of the tory leadership campaign, hp sauce, named after the houses of parliament, they decided to update the label in a shameless publicity stunt so it looks true to form. they have actually put the scaffolding around big ben to make it look entirely 2019. they should have put some pro and anti— exit support is at the bottom to make it truly authentic. but there you go, it is up—to—date. truly authentic. but there you go, it is up-to-date. do you know, i didn't know that was why it was called hp. a lot of people don't know, and it does always have the houses of parliament on the label. cani houses of parliament on the label. can ijust houses of parliament on the label. can i just bring houses of parliament on the label. can ijust bring this one to you, as well. how much would you pay for a date with the clooneys? probably less tha n

date with the clooneys? probably less than what you would pay for a ticket to the game. 10 million is what it would cost you if you want to go andjoin what it would cost you if you want to go and join george and amal at their beautiful villa for a double date. all the money goes to charity, of course, and you get to have a nose around the 25 rooms, tennis courts, gender, enjoy some charcuterie, cheese with them, as well as some prosecco, all for the small price of £10 million. for one person, you are the third wheel.” would settle for george for half price! slightly odd, thank you very much indeed. we will have all the news and sport, that ben stokes catch, coming up for you in news and sport, that ben stokes catch, coming upforyou in a news and sport, that ben stokes catch, coming up for you in a few minutes' time. another round of political talks is taking place in northern ireland to try to bring back the devolved government, almost 2.5 years after it collapsed. some of the people who have been worst affected by the crisis are victims who were abused in children's homes. a public inquiry said they should

have received compensation, an apology and a memorial, but they are still waiting, and now they want westminster to take action because there are no local ministers. our ireland correspondent chris page has been speaking to abuse survivors. homes like these were supposed to be sanctuaries and shelters where vulnerable children were cared for. but for many young residents they became institutions of fear and suffering. decades on, the survivors of child abuse say the trauma never leaves them. you don't imagine the cruelty that happened to us, so you don't... it is very hard. we have to live with it, every day of our lives. there are some times where i have been five days in bed, and i couldn't even make a cup of tea for myself. and ijust knew something

was wrong. it is an everyday living hell for these people, was wrong. it is an everyday living hell forthese people, because was wrong. it is an everyday living hell for these people, because there is no end to it. no nothing, no closure, you know. it'sjust everyday that no—one cares. closure, you know. it'sjust everyday that no-one cares. back in 2017, they felt their poignant stories had finally made an impact. hundreds of people who had suffered physical and sexual abuse gave evidence to a public enquiry. the report recommended victims should get at least £7,500 each in compensation. but just a get at least £7,500 each in compensation. butjust a few days afterwards, the devolved government here at stormont collapsed. that happened because of a major disagreement between the democratic unionist party and sinn fein, who had been sharing power. the political deadlock has continued. there has been no ministers to make decisions, so the compensation

scheme for abuse survivors hasn't been set up. in the last few months, civil servants have drawn up legislation and asked for the northern ireland secretary, karen bradley, to take it through the westminster parliament. all the main stormont parties agree that should be done. i know that we are all unified in saying that we want progress on this as quickly as possible. so i think she has really ran out of road on this. the government says the issue is a priority, and it wants to come to an agreement in the next week so things can move forward in the quickest way. campaigners are mindful more than 30 victims have died since the enquiry ended. we are getting old, in our50s, 60s, enquiry ended. we are getting old, in our 50s, 60s, 70s and 805. we in our 505, 605, 705 and 805. we won't be in our505, 605,705 and 805. we won't be around. we just want to live out our lives peacefully and try and have a life that we didn't have in our childhood, it was taken away from us. we would just ask the new prime minister in waiting to please take this under her or his rule, and do what's right for all of these people. the governmentjust have abandoned us. i don't care if they don't give me anything, but please, please look after the rest of them. what do we need? justice.

when do we want it? now. northern island hasn't had political leaders and office for more than 2.5 years. abuse survivors have been doubly devastated, but they are determined to keep on demonstrating. let's go to belfast now and speak to our ireland correspondent chris page. what are people in northern ireland saying about what has happened to these abu5e 5urvivor5? there is certainly a great sense of public sympathy, anger even, about how these abu5e survivors have been treated. their plight has become in many ways i suppose a symbol of all the problems caused by the lack of a devolved government here in northern ireland. the northern ireland secretary, karen bradley, has met with local survivors on the issue. she says she is personally committed to getting the victims what they wa nt to getting the victims what they want and she is trying to find the quickest route po55ible want and she is trying to find the quickest route possible to get them what they want. the plight of the

abu5e survivors, well, it's probably the biggest issue in recent we connected with the collapse of stormont that has really hit the headlines again very strongly. but there are many other issues, for example there is a big plan to reform the health service that is pretty much on the shelf. there are decisions being held up on infrastructure, new rural projects, for example, and school principals are talking about a crisis in education funding. so all of this is happening with no politicians in office at stormont. so father westminster government have been relu cta nt to westminster government have been reluctant to step in and deal with any of those issues, because if they did that for one issue then people might come back and say well, what about this other issue, that is important as well. so the focus for the governments, both the british and irish governments, in fact, is to bring back evolution. that is what the talks going on at stormont are all about. but chris, is there any sign of movement in the talks to bring back stormont? well, the talks have been going on for a few weeks, they were set up after the murder of a journalist in londonderry. people

in5ide a journalist in londonderry. people inside the room yesterday were saying the mood mu5ic seems to be quite good. there is a sense that things are moving forward. there is a sense that this round of talks i5 better structured, more a sense that this round of talks is better structured, more coherent than previous rounds of talks that endedin than previous rounds of talks that ended in failure. but everybody is also there is plenty of work still to do, because you still dividing the main parties, especially the legal status of the irish language. unionist don't want to be legally recognised that nationalists very much do. that is just one of the big issues that are still yet to be worked on. thank you very much. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: our very own sally nugent has been to meet jurgen klopp as the liverpool boss prepares for tomorrow's champions league final against spurs. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the mayor has promised more money to tackle london's knife crime problem. it comes after a trial in parts of south london where offenders were tagged after being released from prison. now, £700,000 will be spent expanding this programme to 20 boroughs in a bid to reduce reoffending. one of the things we know u nfortu nately one of the things we know unfortunately is too many people who leave prison who have been convicted before of carrying a knife, using a knife, gbh, serious offences, go on to reoffend. i'm afraid too many people aren't rehabilitated. over a million londoners rent their homes, and they are set to be affected by changes that come into force tomorrow. there is a ban on upfront fees for new renters and those renewing their tenancies. there are also caps on how much landlords and agents can ask for as a deposit. the national landlords association

says the new rules will curb abuses, but tenant campaign groups say banning charges won't solve the problem. the archive of one of britain's most famous sculptors is open to the public for the first time. henry moore's house at perry green in hertfordshire has been refurbished, and is now the world's leading resource on his life and work. henry moore was most famous for his monumental bronze sculptures and over 20 are on display in the gardens. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on all tube lines this morning. onto the roads. traffic is building on the a13 into town from the goresbrook interchange at dagenham. expect delays on all approaches to the old street roundabout. it's been converted to a two—way traffic system. and in kings cross, the euston road is down to one lane for roadworks eastbound past st pancras towards pentonville road. now the weather,

with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for what will probably be the warmest weekend of the year so far. now, we are already in that warmer air, of course, but there's quite a lot of moisture in it at the moment, so it's a rather great start the day. lots of low cloud around, some mist and some instance a murkiness. it will tend to brighten up through the day and we will probably in the afternoon with lots of blue sky and sunshine stop now, it's a mild start to the morning. we got temperatures in the mid—teens, in celsius, of course. lots of low cloud around. it will brighten up through the morning into the afternoon. maybe some spells of sunshine through the middle part of the afternoon as well. top temperatures between 19 and as high as 22 celsius. the south—westerly wind not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. now, you notice behind me with got some clear airfeeding infrom notice behind me with got some clear airfeeding in from the notice behind me with got some clear air feeding in from the west. that's drierair, it air feeding in from the west. that's drier air, it means we will end the day with quite a lot of sunshine around, and keep those clear skies

overnight too. temperatures probably dropping not much lower than double figures. it all sets us up nicely for a lovely day weather tomorrow. we could see temperatures as high as 26 to 28 celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine. we will keep the warmth on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back tojon and tina. bye for now. good morning. this is breakfast with jon kay and tina daheley. it's 6:30. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning, the government has ambitious plans to build 300,000 homes a year in england. but could making them in factories be part of the solution to the country's housing shortage? nina is finding out. shirley bassey and snakes in the jungle — just two of the stories being told about the olden days, which are making people in their 805 and 905 feel heard. the wait is finally over.

killing eve is back for a second series onjune 8 after swooping multiple wins at the bafta tv awards. we'll chat to one of the show‘s new cast members. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. our top story, and then there were 12. mark harper, a former chief whip, 12th candidate has joined the race to replace prime minister theresa may. it comes as the cbi warns all the hopefuls that a no—deal brexit would cause severe damage to british businesses. in an open letter, the confederation of british industry, director—general carolyn fairbairn urged the next prime minister to reach an agreement with brussels, warning them that smaller companies can't afford the necessary preparations for leaving without a plan. businesses are resilient, but let's be absolutely clear. there is no such thing

as managing no deal. it is impossible to prepare except for the very biggest companies. 85% of small companies cannot prepare, they haven't got the money, they haven't got the time to be able to put contingency plans in place, so of course the world will carry on spinning. but we would have lostjobs, we'd have lost investment and damaged our economy. gp surgery closures across the uk have reached an all—time high, affecting an estimated 500,000 patients last year according to new research. an investigation by the medical website pulse found under—resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close with many smaller practices merging to survive. a lawyer for shamima begum, the teenagejihadi bride who fled britain to join isis, has written to the home secretary accusing the uk authorities of failing to protect her from being trafficked by islamic state fighters. according to the letter seen by the bbc, ms begum was groomed

and trafficked to isis—controlled territory. it cites multiple failings by the authorities to safeguard the then 15—year—old schoolgirl. the american singer r kelly has been charged with a further 11 sexual assault and abuse offences. court records show the charges relate to a child aged between 13 and 16 years old and some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. police in hungary have arrested the captain of a ship, which crashed into a smaller tourist boat on the river danube, killing at least seven people. the 64—year—old ukrainian national was held on charges of reckless misconduct following the incident in budapest. as well as the seven confirmed deaths, 21 people are still missing. a fungus genetically enhanced to produce spider toxin can rapidly kill huge numbers of the mosquitoes that spread malaria according to a new study. trials, which took place in burkina faso in west africa, showed mosquito populations

collapsed by 99% within 45 days. the researchers say their aim is not to make the insects extinct but to help stop the spread of the disease. fascinating. uber has posted a loss of nearly £800 million. the company's shares have sunk almost 11% since it became a public company two weeks ago. it comes despite a 20% rise in revenues and an increase in the number of people using the service. there's been high drama in america's national spelling bee with the championship being split eight ways following an unprecedented final! the competition was so tight between the youngsters

as they endured 20 rounds of spelling complicated words. my my idea of a nightmare! each of the eight winners spelt 47 words consecutively without any mistakes. they all won! yes. what is your spelling like? it is all right when you have predictive text. do you want to have a go at some of the words they had to spell? not really. let's do it. how about... i have not even heard of these words. antelope. a glass shaped pendant for automating a chandelier. pendeloke? nearly. how about palomar? as in paloma faith? as in the webbing on the feet ofa faith? as in the webbing on the feet of a classic bird. of course.

obviously. p—a—l—a—m—a? yes! it gets progressively harder. let's go to the sport. give her one! logan belear. —— bouganvillea. ithink you missed a vowel. that was hard. a perfect start for england then on the opening day of the cricket world cup and a perfect day for ben stokes. possibly one of the greatest catches in world cup history. one of the best performances we have seen from

him ina best performances we have seen from him in a long time. he will be pretty ha p py him in a long time. he will be pretty happy with that. the worst pa rt pretty happy with that. the worst part is he didn't mean it. he was technically in the wrong place. who admits that?! say you meant it! that part will not go down in history. all we will remember other images of the amazing catch which we are going to see in a moment. it was the perfect start on opening day of cricket world cup. ben stokes was the man of the match as they beat south africa, top scoring with the bat, taking two wickets and one of the best catches you are likely to see. patrick gearey reports. world cup so made by a well moments. how is that for a start? no way! he didn't seem to know how he caught this and the rest of us have no idea. stokes was stretching limbs and beating heart of his england victory. one that seemed a long way off when a ao—year—old south african legspin i did this second bowl.

johnny bairstow, zero. england needed a strong and stable period. they rebuild. just as owen morgan tried to set off fireworks, he found himself nearly extinguished. it was down to stokes to guide england through the final overs. adopt god with 89 in a total of 311. that gave jofra archer something to bowl out. he did so at some place. 50%. later, south africa's big guns taken out by a loan archer, no wonder england pick him as soon as it became available. now the south africans we re available. now the south africans were chasing the game. knowing there we re were chasing the game. knowing there were dangers in the deep but never expecting this. a cash that will be remembered long after stokes runs or his wickets that finished the match ona his wickets that finished the match on a day england proved that there are flexible. so then, liverpool fans, spurs fans...how are the nerves? both sides are in madrid

ahead of tomorrow's champions league final. jurgen klopp's been full of praise for his liverpool side as they go for their sixth european cup title. he's told breakfast that he has "world class players at a sensational club." we have that interview coming up in just a few minutes. as for spurs, it's their first champions league final and they go into the game as the underdogs. the momentum could be with them, though, after some brilliant late wins in the quarterfinals and the semifinals. and theirforward christian eriksen says winning would mean everything to the club. it would be a dream come true for me, for anyone, anyone who plays for paul. i know how many will be watching. i know how much is at sta ke. watching. i know how much is at stake. to be able to win a champions league, not many people or players have done that in their careers. something really special. it will just be it willjust be an incredible game.

it willjust be an incredible game. it is to english sides in the final of the champions league in ten yea rs. of the champions league in ten years. it doesn't happen very often. evenif years. it doesn't happen very often. even if you are not a fan, you will enjoy it. some well enjoyed more than others the end. the liverpool boss goes into the champions league final hoping to end a six match losing run in finals. sally caught up with him at the club's training ground to find out how his late father inspired him and harry with that kind of pressure for his team to perform. it is part of life. we have not a holiday 365 days m, life. we have not a holiday 365 days in, nobody of us. there are more stressful moments, less stressful moments. having stressful moments in a positive way, positive stress going into a final make life exciting. it is good. i go to sleep

with one line up and wake up with a different line—up. with one line up and wake up with a different line-up. in the night, someone is telling you! it is wonderful. i have... the onlyjob i really ca n wonderful. i have... the onlyjob i really can do, to be honest, but together with a bunch of world—class players in a sensational club. i said if! players in a sensational club. i said if i am not a players in a sensational club. i said if i am nota happy players in a sensational club. i said if i am not a happy person, i would be crazy. when you do your little fist bump... they roar back at you, what is that feeling like?” felt it in that moment, i felt all the energy, it has to go somewhere. you have been described in your biography is so passionate and energetic on the touchline. i think the author described you as a six—year—old after far too much sugar. thank you! that is a compliment! is it? yes. my energy

level around games is pretty high. how did a boy who came from such a supportive family, really sporty dad, how did you get to be so relaxed? so comfortable with it? a big fortune and blessing of my life was i love to do what my father wa nted life was i love to do what my father wanted me to do, and i knew my father was very demanding in this part, but he loved watching his slightly talented boy doing all that stuff. i remember when, afterwards i had a phone call and he said, i saw your haircut and it is awful. never mind the game! so unfortunately he died before i became a manager, but i know he is now ina became a manager, but i know he is now in a better place and the best

position in any stand and see the stuff. if he was alive, it would have been more intense because he went and asked for a lot of things, change this, why did you bring him... he would have been, he probably would ask me if he could watch training sessions and stuff like this. i miss him, of course, but professional wires, it is more relaxed, i can do what i want without being judged by him all the time. you have a realfaith, don't you? it feels like he's with you going into final. yes. what do you think he would say to you as a slightly talented boy leading a team into a third champions league final? when it this time! what did he say after that? a big smile. let's see if he is still smiling after the end of the weekend. i wonder if sarah is climbing —— smiling after climbing to the top of

the cathedral for the weather? yes, 325 steps i climb to get to the top of the central tower of durham cathedral. the cathedral has stood here for 1000 years nearly, but it has been closed for three years for major repairs. chris, you are the architect. talk me through how you notice that the tower needed these repairs. in 2012, i carried out an inspection of the cathedral and discovered what age — let every conservation architect dreads which is the stonework of the top of this battle m e nt stonework of the top of this battlement and parapet was becoming loose, it was being jacked up, lifted up and was starting to fracture and become unstable. 218 feet up in the air, so how do you repair all of the stonework up here? it isa here? it is a huge undertaking. getting scaffold access rpr is a huge challenge, but every one of the stones at durham cathedral tower had to be dismantled into the workshop,

inspected, repaired, new stones had to be carved where old ones had failed and it had to be brought back appear to be reassembled. and this cathedral, this tower has stood here since the 15th century. how long do you expect the repairs to last? we have built it incredibly robustly using mediaeval techniques, so we are confident it will last over 200 yea rs. thank you. it opens tomorrow to the public. it is delightful the scaffold is down so everyone can come back to the top of the central tower and enjoy the spectacular views of durham and also see the handicraft of the masons here. thank you so much, chris. it is a stunning view here from the top of the central tower this morning. a beautiful morning. we have clear spells around here, patchy cloud here and there, but across the country this morning a lot of dry u nsettled country this morning a lot of dry unsettled weather to be enjoyed out there. temperatures on the mild side for the time of year. as we head to

the weekend, temperatures will be on the weekend, temperatures will be on the upper, particularly across england and wales, a hot weekend ahead especially on saturday. not quite as warm across the north—west of the country because we have weather fronts moving in of the country because we have weatherfronts moving in from of the country because we have weather fronts moving in from the atla ntic weather fronts moving in from the atlantic and they are bringing fairly heavy spells of rain across parts of northern ireland and scotla nd parts of northern ireland and scotland today. we have already had that rain fairly patchy this morning, but the rain at times will be quite persistent later, practically across the western part of scotland. a0 to 50 millimetres of rain through the day. northern ireland seeing outbreaks of rain. quite breezy in the north—west, but for the bulk of england and wales a dry day ahead and the cloud should in and break up, so plenty of sunshine this afternoon. temperatures in the sunshine around 20 to 22 degrees across england and wales, qualify scotland and northern ireland where we have the breeze, cloud and outbreaks of rain. into the evening, the weather front shifts further north, so the heaviest will be petering out across northern ireland and scotland. a few

showers left in the west. most of us, dry and mild tonight with temperatures between nine to 13 degrees first thing tomorrow morning. saturday starts off dry, settled and mild. through the day, quite a cloudy start but there will be some sunshine breaking through across england and wales where we see a hot day. temperatures around 2627dc down towards the south—east of england and east anglia as well. scotla nd of england and east anglia as well. scotland and northern ireland not quite as warm with one or two showers around. into sunday, that will be the more unsettled day of the weekend with low pressure moving in from the west, blustery showers making their way west across much of the uk -- making their way west across much of the uk —— west to east. temperatures up the uk —— west to east. temperatures up to 2a degrees stop elsewhere, not quite as warm through the day on sunday with the arrival of those blustery showers. this tower opens tomorrow to the public. the

scaffolding is down and they are expecting about 100,000 visitors to visit the top of the cathedral. back to you. you know that is a zip wire behind you, sarah. that's the way down? that's how i'm getting down later on. we will cover it live, as well. walking down 325 steps isn't as bad. shirley bassey, snakes in thejungle and romance in the back row of the cinema — those are just some of the topics which came up when people in their 805 and 905 were asked to take to the microphone to share their favourite stories about their lives. the be heard night in doncaster was created to give a platform to people with fantastic tales who want to share them with an audience. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went along to find out more.

it really chucked it down, bucket falls. we had lovely experiences going round the world. musical theatre, but was now a cinema. a a simple concept, give 80 and roll is the chance to tell their favourite stories in front of a paying audience. so our charity speaks too older neighbours in the community every day of the week, and we hear some awesome stories. and we just find it such a shame that no—one gets to hear them. backstage, sta nley, gets to hear them. backstage, stanley, who is 97, was raring to go. i hadn't heard that... many people enjoy talking about themselves, and i am no different from anyone else. i like talking about myself. and as for sally, she was going to share stories about her life in showbiz with her late husband larry. this is like britain's got talent, here we are in

the corridor, right next to the stage. how do you feel about performing? i feel fine, stage. how do you feel about performing? i feelfine, thank you. make no nerves? no notice whatsoever. do you mind us asking how old you are? i am 90 this year. 90! and they are off, sally telling the audience about working with sheuey the audience about working with shelley bassey, stealing a knife from hitler's house and charming americans. in america, we were buying a postcard to send back to england saying having a lovely time, and my husband who had gone to public school here in england was terribly like that, and the manager came over and said to him, don't buy anything, sir. just keep talking. you give the place class. little did he know he was a germanjewish refugee. victor enthused about his military service in malaysia. you got mosquitoes, and you've got snakes. and stanley reminisced about what it was like to go to the cinema in 19305 doncaster. what it was like to go to the cinema in 1930s doncaster. some people sitting on the double seat at the back of the cinema. but still, that

was that. we won't go into that. afterwards, it was clear they had all love their moment in the spotlight. one has to spread the word, because a lot of young people don't know what went on 80 years ago. i mean, iam 90 this don't know what went on 80 years ago. i mean, i am 90 this year, so it's a long, long time ago that all these things happened. it's a long, long time ago that all these things happenedm it's a long, long time ago that all these things happened. it really gives you confidence in yourself, and builds your esteem up. i really enjoyed it. it's the first time i've ever spoken in public. did it come out all right? very well. the plan is for these events to spread all around the uk, so more memories can be shared. i think that's about all, folks. applause. what a brilliant idea.” what a brilliant idea. i think! am a little bit in love with stanley. i

wa nt to a little bit in love with stanley. i want to hear more about stanley's trips to the cinema. the government wants to build 300,000 homes a year in england by the middle of the next decade, so could assembling them in factories be part of the solution to the country's housing shortage? nina is in knaresborough to find out. good morning. yes, good morning, tina, good morning. as you say, we are in the midst of a crisis. we have hundreds of thousands of homeless people, tens of thousands of families, who need somewhere to live. now, the government is endorsing these modular homes, built bit by bit in a factory on a production line a bit like a car, and then delivered to where they will be for people to live. think of prefab homes and you'll probably have something like this in mind. mr churchill, as emergency dwellings for service personnel. prefa b dwellings for service personnel. prefab houses built after the second

world war for returning soldiers and following bomb damage. they won't built to last, but they were lived infour built to last, but they were lived in four decades after they were supposed to be. but modern modular homes, as their builders prefer to call them, are being touted as a potential solution to the housing crisis, and the construction skill shortage. they are built to a higher quality these days, and take roughly half the time to build in a factory then assembled on site, like a traditional builds. but only around 196 traditional builds. but only around 1% of new homes built last year, thatis 1% of new homes built last year, that is fewer than 15,000, were modular buildings. look at this. literally stabling it together behind us. so 750 homes are being built here. that is the biggest order yet of affordable modular housing. let's talk to dave, the boss, and talk me through the process here, but also, what are the advantages of building homes in a

factory like this rather than on a traditional building site? we chose the manufacturing group because we can build at volume, we can engineer it and we can guarantee supply. the way we have managed the process against construction. we also generate within the skills gap... what does that mean? we train them to manufacture rather than using traditional skills. as we all know, there is pressure on skills within this country. if you look over there, that is the ceiling to what will be someone's home stop we know at the moment that almost half of labourers on construction sites are 15 years and above and we have a real crisis —— 50 years and above and we have a crisis of people getting into it. we like to talk about decision manufactured homes, because we can guarantee quality as they come off the line, which means like ina they come off the line, which means like in a carfactory they come off the line, which means like in a car factory we they come off the line, which means like in a carfactory we can ensure that the houses come out as quality products rather than just being

built on a dating site in a dirty environment. right down to the point where you can choose your bathroom and kitchen. let's talk to gemma, who is a finance expert. at the moment there are three things going on. we have this crisis when it comes to construction, the government wants to build more homes, more homes are needed, and yet these modular homes are not in demand. what is going wrong and that chain? we have a massive challenge to help people own their own home but in order for houses like this to be the solution, they need to first of all satisfy a need, so people need to want to live in houses like this, and secondly solve a problem. so be an easy way to afford a home. the challenge we face is that there are some low quality versions of these homes on the market and there isa these homes on the market and there is a misconception that they are low quality in general, which is dampening demand but also dampening appetite for mortgage lenders to lend against them, so it is making ita lend against them, so it is making it a challenge to be able to afford them, as well. can you see that changing in the nearfuture? goodness knows we need more homes,

don't we? well, the pressure is building, it is like a pressure cooker and the more the pressure builds, the more focused there is trying to find a solution. if there are more homes like this available, hopefully it will provide the impetus for mortgage providers to really that misconception. and it is that the economy of scale, they want to work with other developers to make sure they can build lots and lots of these. you can see a roof over there that will literally be plonked on the top and in the house will be taken out of the factory when it's completely finished. we will be having a look a little bit later on at what is going on inside the homes. i might even pick my own kitchen stop looking forward to that, flat packed. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the mayor has promised more money to tackle london's knife crime problem. it comes after a trial in parts of south london where offenders were tagged after being released from prison. now, £700,000 will be spent expanding this programme to 20

boroughs, in a bid to reduce reoffending. one of the things we know, unfortunately, is too many people who leave prison who've been convicted before of carrying a knife, using a knife, gbh, serious offences, go on to reoffend. i'm afraid too many people aren't rehabilitated. over a million londoners rent their homes, and they are set to be affected by changes that come into force tomorrow. there is a ban on upfront fees for new renters and those renewing their tenancies. there are also caps on how much landlords and agents can ask for as a deposit. the national landlords association says the new rules will curb abuses, but tenant campaign groups warn banning charges won't solve the problem. the archive of one of britain's most famous sculptors is open to the public for the first time. henry moore's house at perry green in hertfordshire has been refurbished and is now

the world's leading resource on his life and work. this season, visitors can see his illustrations for books and magazines. he was most famous for his monumental bronze sculptures. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning, but tfl rail is suspended between hayes & harlington and heathrow terminal a due to a signal failure. on the trains, there is disruption between gatwick airport and east croydon due to a points failure. it's affecting the gatwick express, southern and thameslink services. onto the roads — old street is slow approaching the old street roundabout due to the new two—way traffic system. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for what will probably be the warmest weekend of the year so far. now, we're already in that warmer air, of course, but there's quite a lot of moisture in it at the moment,

so it's a rather grey start the day. lots of low cloud around, some mist and some murk. it will tend to brighten up through the day, and we'll probably end the afternoon with lots of blue sky and sunshine. now, it's a mild start to the morning. we've got temperatures in the mid—teens, in celsius, of course. lots of low cloud around, though it will brighten up through the morning into the afternoon. maybe some spells of sunshine through the middle part of the afternoon, as well. top temperatures between 19 and as high as 22 celsius. the south—westerly wind not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. now, you'll notice behind me we've got some clear air feeding in from the west. that's drier air. it means we will end the day with quite a lot of sunshine around, and keep those clear skies overnight, too. temperatures probably dropping not much lower than double figures. it all sets us up nicely for a lovely day of weather tomorrow. we could see temperatures as high as 26—28 degrees celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine. we'll keep the warmth on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and tina dahely. our headlines today: as the number of candidates bidding to lead the conservatives rises to 12, one major business organisation calls on the hopefuls to avoid a no deal brexit. a warning that a record number of gps surgeries are being closed, increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties are blamed. thousands of fans make their way to madrid for tomorrow's champions league final between liverpool and spurs. liverpool managerjurgen klopp opens up to bbc breakfast about his great passion for his club. u nfortu nately unfortunately he died before i became a manager, but i know he is now ina became a manager, but i know he is now in a better place and i am in the best position, he is in the best

position in any stand to see all the stuff. england live up to the hype at the cricket world cup. ben stokes pulls off an amazing catch in a man—of—the—match display in a dominant win over south africa. good morning! this is the biggest batch of affordable homes built inside a factory. could they be the key to solving our housing crisis? good morning, and i am in durham this morning at the top of the central tower of the cathedral, which isjust central tower of the cathedral, which is just about to reopen after three years of repairs. i will bring you the forecast for the today and the weekend in around 15 minutes. good morning, everybody. it's friday 31st may. our top story — and then there were 12. mark harper, a former chief whip, 12th candidate has joined the race to replace prime minister theresa may. it comes as the cbi warns all the hopefuls that a no—deal

brexit would cause severe damage to british businesses. in an open letter to the confederation of british industry, director—general carolyn fairbairn urged the next prime minister to reach an agreement with brussels, warning them that smaller companies can't afford the necessary preparations for leaving without a plan. businesses are resilient, but let's be absolutely clear. there is no such thing as managing no deal. it is impossible to prepare except for the very biggest companies. 85% of small companies cannot prepare, they haven't got the money, they haven't got the time to be able to put contingency plans in place, so of course the world will carry on spinning. but we would have lostjobs, we'd have lost investment and damaged our economy. let's get more on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, in westminster. this is all getting pretty chaotic. 12 contenders now. it is certainly a crowded field, and that warning from

the cbi comes at an interesting time, because so far it has been a question of whether that uk would leave the eu. on the current deadline at the end of october with or without a deal agreed. some of the candidates have been very clear, they would certainly come if a deal couldn't be renegotiated in time, ta ke couldn't be renegotiated in time, take the uk out of the eu without a deal. the latest to join the race, mark harper, a former chief whip, a minister in david cameron's cabinet, says that no deal is not a credible option and he will be in favour of a short extension to the article 50 process whereby potentially a new agreement could be negotiated. very much easier said than done given the fa ct much easier said than done given the fact the eu have said that is not an option. but it is the question of a no deal brexit that is dominating

this race to the conservative leader and the new prime minister so far, and the new prime minister so far, and you mentioned the crowded field. there is concern it is a bit ridiculous with the number of people putting themselves forward and there will be a meeting next week of conservative backbenchers to discuss changing the rules to maybe limit the numbers and whittle them down to two more quickly than had been taught at some point. jonathan, thank you. it will be 13 or 1a by the end of the weekend. gp surgery closures across the uk have reached an all—time high, affecting an estimated 500,000 patients last year, according to new research today. an investigation by the medical website pulse found under—resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close with many smaller practices merging to survive. our reporter leigh milner has more. just say ah for me — that is excellent. every year, millions of people are treated by their local gp. but over the past year, the nhs has lost more than a00 qualified gps in england

and surgery closures across the uk are at an all—time high. according to new figures released by the medical magazine pulse, in 2013, just 18 surgeries shut across the uk. by last year, that number had increased to 138. nhs england, which runs the health service, said it refuted the pulse figures. according to their data, which only covers the past financial year, it had seen fewer closures and patient dispersals. let's just lift this over your hand. the investigation also revealed that gps felt that increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties meant practices were often forced to close as a last resort. how can we help today? speaking earlier this month to the bbc, dr carmel boyhan irvine, who works in plymouth, said something has to change. there is a crisis in general practice, it is very real, it is the worst crisis since 19a8. its future is injeopardy, there's no doubt about that. as a result of the surgery closures,

the research revealed that more than 500,000 people were affected. leigh milner, bbc news. a lawyer for shamima begum, the teenagejihadi bride who fled britain to join isis, has written to the home secretary accusing the uk authorities of failing to protect her from being trafficked by islamic state fighters. according to the letter seen by the bbc, ms begum was "groomed" and "trafficked to an isis—controlled territory." it cites multiple failings by authorities to safeguard the then 15—year—old schoolgirl. hanna yusuf reports. stripped of her british citizenship and held in a syrian refugee camp, shamima begum faces an uncertain future. she left her home in east london with two school friends. they managed to travel despite a close friend having made the journey to syria months earlier. according to her lawyer, shamima begum was targeted

and trafficked by islamic state. well, isis have a propaganda machine where they reached out to the world, into the mobile phone of shamima begum, and managed to groom her, giving her the advice that she needed to successfully, as a 15—year—old girl, evade uk police, counterterrorism, cross a border between syria and turkey and find herself betrothed under an isis ceremony to a 23—year—old man. the letter to the home secretary cites failures by the uk authorities to stop the three girls from leaving for syria. it claims the families should have been warned the girls were at risk of being trafficked for exploitation by is fighters. police say there was no sign that any of the girls, who were pupils at bethnal green academy, were vulnerable or radicalised. the home office won't comment on the case but says decisions to deprive individuals of their citizenship are not taken lightly. shamima begum's family are challenging that decision but say the little hope they had when she was first found

has been stolen from them. for others, shejoined is willingly and should face the consequences. hanna yusuf, bbc news. the american singer r kelly has been charged with a further 11 sexual assault and abuse offences. court records show the charges relate to a child aged between 13 and 16 years old and some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. police in hungary have arrested the captain of a ship, which crashed into a smaller tourist boat on the river danube, killing at least seven people. the 6a—year—old ukrainian national was held on charges of reckless misconduct following the incident in budapest. as well as the seven confirmed deaths, 21 people are still missing. a fungus genetically enhanced to produce spider toxin can rapidly kill huge numbers of the mosquitoes that spread malaria according to a new study. trials, which took place in burkina faso in west africa,

showed mosquito populations collapsed by 99% within a5 days. the researchers say their aim is not to make the insects extinct but to help stop the spread of the disease. i want to see the fungus. not the mosquitoes! uber has posted a loss of nearly £800 million. the company's shares have sunk almost 11% since it became a public company two weeks ago. this is despite a 20% rise in revenues and an increase in the number of people using the service. there's been drama in america's national spelling bee with the championship being split eight ways following an unprecedented final. o-d-y-l-y. .. applause. the competition was tight between the youngsters

who endured 20 rounds of spelling complicated words. each of the eight winners spelt a7 words consecutively without any mistakes. they shared the prize. shall we test... shalvey test another youngster? yes, you can. soon us. sernuous. it isa yes, you can. soon us. sernuous. it is a word used to describe a plant drooping. s—c—u.... how about oslout? well done to all eight of the competitors. yes, you deserve it. it's 7:10. with 12 conservatives

now in the race to replace prime minister theresa may, there have been calls for a change in the rules to limit the number of candidates for the leadership. but the search for a new lib dems leader is a 2—horse race. yesterday we heard from one of them sir ed davey and now we can speak to the otherjo swinson. she announced she would be standing. good morning. let's start with a classicjob interview question. tell us classicjob interview question. tell us about yourself and why you want thejob. iam running thejob. i am running to be leader of the liberal democrats because i think there is a country that we have that is crying out for a liberal movement to challenge the forces of nationalism and populism and the liberal democrats need to be at the heart of that liberal movement and i am determined to lead them to do that. i first became an mp in 2005, i served for a decade and in my seat backin i served for a decade and in my seat back in 2017. i think i have the skills to do the job and reach out

toa skills to do the job and reach out to a new generation of people and talk about the big issues that we are facing, like the technological revolution that we can harness to create a better future for our country. you were elected as an mp, you were described as the baby of the house, the youngest mp in parliament. i wonder whether the danger is people will say here is another full—time professional politician who has no experience in the real world and all they know is life in westminster. what do you say to that charge? you imaginei what do you say to that charge? you imagine i love the title of baby in the house. i was an mp for 12 yea rs in the house. i was an mp for 12 years and a ministerfor in the house. i was an mp for 12 years and a minister for three yea rs. years and a minister for three years. i worked for five years before i was elected as a marketing manager, and i set up my own business, i was on the board of a tech start—up, i wrote a book, so i do think i bring experience from outside of politics. i think we need lots of different perspectives represented within our political debate. certainly, when i was first

elected at 25, i don't think i really qualify as young anymore, but i have always been a strong supporter of getting more young people involved in politics, and the energy of the younger generation that we see through the rebellion and the school strike for climate, with young people holding politics to account and saying these other big issues that are not being addressed by our politics. we need to listen more to people. a lot of young people how the liberal democrats to account after the fees commitment when you are in the coalition. you were part of the coalition. you were part of the coalition with the conservatives, you were a minister. are you contaminant to —— contaminated by that, you are part of that austerity agenda and some people might want to come to the liberal democrats under your leadership? that was a particular decision i freely admit we got wrong. particularly because we got wrong. particularly because we said we were going to do something and we didn't do it, and we have suffered consequences for that, we went from 57 mp5 to eight,

along with many other colleagues and i lost my seat. i recognise that, but we did do a lot of good in coalition as well, and i think we need to be proud of the successes that we had on legislating for same—sex marriage, taking people on low pay out of paying income tax, on the things are delivered, introducing shared parental leave and making sure we got gender pay gap reporting for example. we need to be proud of those successes and also reflect on what we need to learn for the future. it will be quite a daunting prospect for whoever takes over as liberal democrat leader. have had great election results, you have had an opinion poll putting you right at the front of all the parties going. sustaining that is going to be quite a challenge for whoever becomes leader. do you think that there is a risk that you are just a protest party, a single issue anti—brexit party, a single issue anti—brexit party, and one way or another when

brexit is sorted, where are you, what are you? first of all, i think this is an exciting time to be a liberal democrat. our country needs liberal values like never before, when you see how those are under threat in the uk and around the world, and as you say, that one pole this morning putting a stop, that is an amazing state of affairs. i think british politics is potentially quite a seismic moment. this is a huge opportunity to change the way we do things and i think there is an appetite for that. yes, we want to stop brexit, that is absolutely clear, but why is that? it is because of our liberal values, we believe in a country that is open and outwardly looking an internationalist in approach. they are values that resonate with people across the country and they go far beyond brexit into the type of world, the economy we need to build that works for our people and our planet. if labour were to come out more strongly in favour of another

referendum and to campaign for remain, you would be blown out of the water, wouldn't you? i think people are not daft. people can see that labour are being dragged kicking and screaming towards potentially getting to a stage where they finally unequivocally back a people's of vote. jeremy corbyn has been saying maybe we'll have a chat about this in september. come off it. we are talking about a current deadline of the 31st of october, i have worked with many labour mp5 who have been very strong on this and i will continue to do so but the labour leadership has been letting the party down and letting the whole country down and i think people can see that. what about working with the conservatives? would you roll out going into coalition if you were the leader with the liberal democrats? with this party hellbent. .. you have taken a hammering for doing it last time. you just about are recovering in the opinion ——in the opinion polls. we

recognise that it was potentially catastrophic and that maybe you should just say we will never do that again? this conservative party is pro brexit far on the right of british politics and being pulled more over in that direction by pandering to nigel barrage. no, i cannot envisage it with this particular conservative party —— farage. do i believe in working with others? yes. other people who i disagree with and have works with, we could not be in more difficult positions of brexit and most political issues, but have i worked with her to modernise the house of commons, bring in proxy voting, improve procedures on harassment and bullying? yes, absolutely, because i believe that when you get things done, you work with people where you agree, and we need to bring people who share values to create a bigger liberal movement because that is what our country needs and that is what i am

determined to leave. thank you very much indeed. one of the two candidates, compared to the 12 in the conservative party leadership campaign. sarah is at the magnificent durham cathedral with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning to you. i am at the top of the central tower of durham cathedral, which isjust reopening after being closed for the last three years. there's been some major repairs happening here. the cathedral here in durham has stood here for almost 1000 years. back in the 15th century it was struck a lightning twice in a 30 year period, so lots of repairs back then, but over the past three years or so, significant repairs here to the central tower. now, this cathedral is really iconic, one of the tallest cathedrals in the country. it has also been used for various films,

including the harry potter films, so a lot of hog warts is actually durham cathedral, avenges endgame was also filmed here. —— hogwarts. this morning, it is a reasonably mild start to the day in durham, and across much of the uk. we have quite across much of the uk. we have quite a warm, humid air mass with us, so temperature is not doing too badly for the time of year. quite a cloudy start this morning, but things will be brightening up quite nicely, and as we head through to the weekend we have quite a hot spell of weather for many of us. pressure for scotla nd for many of us. pressure for scotland and northern ireland, and thatis scotland and northern ireland, and that is because we have a weather front working in from the atlantic. that front is bringing some outbreaks of rain to scotland and also to northern ireland over the next couple of days. england and where hold hold onto the dry weather courtesy of high pressure which are sitting across europe at the moment.

so we have already had the rain, quite heavy and persistent this morning, across the west of scotland, and patchy rain for northern ireland. one or two showers into the north—west of england, for cumbria and lancashire as well. elsewhere across england and wales it isa elsewhere across england and wales it is a dry start to the morning. after quite a cloudy morning, things will brighten up later in the day. plenty of sunshine lifting temperatures to 20 or 22 degrees for many of us across england and wales. typically the mid to high teens for scotla nd typically the mid to high teens for scotland and northern ireland, where you have more cloud, patchy rain and quite a breeze as well. that ran peters away on the north, showers around across parts of the west of scotland, north—west england with a few showers around as well, but most of us dry and temperature is certainly mild, around nine to 13 degrees. so quite warm and humid from the off saturday morning, and it will warm up through the day. especially towards the south and east, we see the warmest weather, so

temperatures up to around 26 or 27 celsius. most places dry, and improved day for scotland and northern ireland, one or two showers for southwest scotland and northern england as well. quite a warm day once again on saturday but as we head into the second half of the weekend we have cooler air moving on from the west with the arrival of low pressure. blustery showers across much of the uk, working west to east. east anglia and the south—east stay dry for longest. here, another warm day with temperatures holding it 20 celsius, and some fresh air than elsewhere across the country. enjoy that warm weather where you see it on saturday, one of the warmest weekends of the year so far. but it isa weekends of the year so far. but it is a little bit fresher from the north and the west. thank you very much. it is great, isn't it? ithink she will see the good weather coming before anyone else. another round of political talks is taking place in northern ireland to try to bring back the devolved government, almost 2.5 years after it collapsed. some of the people who have been worst affected by the crisis are victims who were abused in children's homes. a public inquiry said they should have received compensation, an apology and a memorial, but they are still waiting, and now they want westminster

to take action because there are no local ministers. our ireland correspondent chris page has been speaking to abuse survivors. homes like these were supposed to be sanctuaries and shelters where vulnerable children were cared for, but for many young residents, they became institutions of fear and suffering. decades on, the survivors of child abuse say the trauma never leaves them. you don't imagine the cruelty that happened to us, so you don't... it's very hard. we have to live with it, every day in our lives. there are some times where i've been five days in bed, and i couldn't even make a cup of tea for myself. and ijust didn't want to go on.

it is an everyday living hell for these people, because there's no end to it. no nothing, no closure. you know, it'sjust every day that no—one cares. back in 2017, they felt their poignant stories had finally made an impact. hundreds of people who had suffered physical and sexual abuse gave evidence to a public inquiry. the report recommended victims should get at least £7,500 each in compensation. but, just a few days afterwards, the devolved government here at stormont collapsed. that happened because of a major disagreement between the democratic unionist party and sinn fein, who had been sharing power. the political deadlock has continued. there have been no ministers to make decisions, so the compensation scheme for abuse survivors hasn't been set up. in the last few months, civil servants have drawn up legislation and asked for the northern ireland secretary, karen bradley, to take it through the westminster parliament. all the main stormont parties agree that should be done.

i know that we're all unified in saying that we want progress on this as quickly as possible, so i think she's really run out of road on this. the government says the issue is a priority, and it wants to come to an agreement in the next week so things can move forward in the quickest way. campaigners are mindful more than 30 victims have died since the inquiry ended. we're getting old, in our 505, 605, 705 and 805. we won't be around. we just want to live out our lives peacefully, and try and have a life that we didn't have in our childhood. it was taken away from us. we would just ask the new prime minister in waiting to please take this under her or his rule, and do what's right for all of these people. the governmentjust have abandoned us. i don't care if they don't give me anything, but please,

please look after the rest of the victims. what do we need? all: justice. when do we want it? now. northern ireland hasn't had political leaders in office for nearly 2.5 years. abuse survivors have been doubly devastated, but they are determined to keep on demonstrating. let's go to belfast now and speak to our ireland correspondent chris page. the weighting for these victims must be so difficult. are they any closer to finding out when they may get compensation? well, there's certainly been a lot of pressure for public movement on this. people in northern ireland have expressed a lot of sympathy, anger even, about the way these victims have been treated. the northern ireland secretary, karen bradley, has met with the local political parties this week and she says she is personally committed to getting the victims what they deserve as quickly as possible. now, the plight of these abuse survivors has become in many ways the biggest symbol, if you like, of the biggest symbol, if you like, of the problems that have come from not having a devolved government here.

but there are plenty of other issues as well. in the health service, budgets for public services, for example, and in education, school principals are talking about a funding crisis. so they have been negotiations at stormont to try to bring back devolution for the last few weeks. the british and irish governments say they are stepping up those talks to try and get a deal by the end ofjune, but everyone is realistic that there are still many issues to be worked through. as far as the abuse victims are concerned, they don't really mind if it is a stormont government or a westminster government that sorts out their issues, they just want to waiting government that sorts out their issues, theyjust want to waiting to be over, having been let down by so many people, so often, over so many yea rs. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. we have sent nina out to do some proper graft, to knaresborough, to a factory where they are making houses. could this be a way of solving our housing shortage? yes, good morning, john. i have not done

any construction myself but i might put together a bathroom later. we are in the midst of a chronic housing crisis. the bottom line is that hundreds of thousands of people are homeless, tens of thousands of families are desperate for affordable housing, and the government think that modular homes could be part of the solution. what are modular homes? so have a look down here. they are built just like a production line where you might see a car or any other product that is in manufacturing. the windows are added, and where we are stood, the bathroom in the kitchens are put in. and where i am stood now, this is the upstairs of the house. it will be plonked right on top of one of those, which is the downstairs of the house, and when it is fully constructed it is taken and placed where it will be for families to live in. there are advantages of this, it means it gets around the shortage in the number of construction workers, but there are some disadvantages, for example the fa ct some disadvantages, for example the fact that they are slightly more expensive than traditional homes. we will be talking about the complexities of the housing shortage, and whether these could

form part of the solution. but first, the news, the travel and the weather wherever you are watching in your lovely home this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the mayor has promised more money to tackle london's knife crime problem. it comes after a trial in parts of south london where offenders were tagged after being released from prison. now, £700,000 will be spent expanding this programme to 20 boroughs in a bid to reduce reoffending. one of the things we know, unfortunately, is too many people who leave prison who've been convicted before of carrying a knife, using a knife, gbh, serious offences, go on to reoffend. i'm afraid too many people aren't rehabilitated. over a million londoners rent their homes, and they are set to be affected by changes that come into force tomorrow. there is a ban on upfront fees for new renters and those renewing their tenancies. there are also caps on how much landlords and agents can ask

for as a deposit. the national landlords association says the new rules will curb abuses, but tenant campaign groups warn banning charges won't solve the problem. the archive of one of britain's most famous sculptors is open to the public for the first time. henry moore's house at perry green in hertfordshire has been refurbished and is now the world's leading resource on his life and work. this season, visitors can see his illustrations for books and magazines, but he was most famous for his monumental bronze sculptures. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on all tube lines this morning, but tfl rail is suspended between hayes & harlington and heathrow terminal a due to a signal failure. on the trains, there is disruption between gatwick airport and east croydon due to a points failure. it is affecting the gatwick express, southern and thameslink services. onto the roads — old street is slow approaching the old street

roundabout due to the new two—way traffic system. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for what will probably be the warmest weekend of the year so far. now, we're already in that warmer air, of course, but there's quite a lot of moisture in it at the moment, so it's a rather grey start the day. lots of low cloud around, some mist and some murk. it will tend to brighten up through the day, and we'll probably end the afternoon with lots of blue sky and sunshine. now, it's a mild start to the morning. we've got temperatures in the mid—teens, in celsius, of course. lots of low cloud around, though it will brighten up somewhat through the morning into the afternoon. maybe some spells of sunshine through the middle part of the afternoon, as well. top temperatures between 19 and as high as 22 degrees celsius. the south—westerly wind not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. now, you'll notice behind me we've got some clear air feeding in from the west. that's drier air.

it means we'll end the day with quite a lot of sunshine around, and keep those clear skies overnight, too. temperatures dropping probably no lower than double figures. it all sets us up nicely for a lovely day of weather tomorrow. we could see temperatures as high as 26—28 degrees celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine. we'll keep the warmth on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back tojon and tina. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with jon kay and tina daheley. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. a 12th candidate has joined the race to lead the conservative party and become the next prime minister. former chief whip mark harper is the latest contender. meanwhile, the confederation of british industry has warned all the hopefuls that a no—deal brexit would cause "severe" damage to british businesses. in an open letter, the cbi's director—general carolyn fairbairn urged the next prime minister

to reach an agreement with brussels, warning them that smaller companies can't afford the necessary preparations for leaving without a plan. gp surgery closures across the uk have reached an all—time high, affecting an estimated 500,000 patients last year according to new research. an investigation by the medical website pulse found under—resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close with many smaller practices merging in order to survive. a lawyer for shamima begum, the teenagejihadi bride who fled britain to join isis, has written to the home secretary accusing the uk authorities of failing to protect her from being trafficked by islamic state fighters. according to the letter seen by the bbc, ms begum was "groomed" and "trafficked to isis—controlled territory." it cites multiple failings by the authorities to safeguard the then 15—year—old schoolgirl. the american singer r kelly has been charged with a further 11 sexual

assault and abuse offences. court records show the charges relate to a child aged between 13 and 16 years old and some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. police in hungary have arrested the captain of a ship, which crashed into a smaller tourist boat on the river danube, killing at least seven people. the 6a—year—old ukrainian national was held on charges of reckless misconduct following the incident in budapest. as well as the seven confirmed deaths, 21 people are still missing. a fungus genetically enhanced to produce spider toxin can rapidly kill huge numbers of the mosquitoes that spread malaria according to a new study. trials, which took place in burkina faso in west africa, showed mosquito populations collapsed by 99% within a5 days. the researchers say their aim is not to make the insects extinct

but to help stop the spread of the disease. uber has posted a loss of nearly £800 million. the compa ny‘s shares have sunk almost 11% since it became a public company two weeks ago. this is also despite a 20% rise in revenues and an increase in the number of people using the service. if you are a gardener, you might fa ncy if you are a gardener, you might fancy thisjob if you are a gardener, you might fancy this job but you will need a head for heights as well. st michael's mount in cornwall is looking for a new head gardener. it isa it is a little island of penzance. you need to be quite versatile. adventurous i would say. thejob has a rather specific set of requirements. a p pa re ntly apparently this is in the job description. it says the successful applicant

will need the agility of a "mountain goat" in order to abseil down the castle's battlements and care for its exotic garden. i think it comes with a little cottage as well. for any agile goats out there who might want a comment and accommodation, you have it included. how do you know if you are as agile asa mountain how do you know if you are as agile as a mountain goat? maybe that is part of the interview process. they put them through the paces. it is a new reality show. coming up on the programme, sarah will have the weather. sarah is at the top of durham cathedral. we hope to have a picture of her at her graduation which we hope to show the world later. but first, let's take a look at the sport with holly. how are you? brilliant. we have a busy weekend ahead. a busy day yesterday. the start of the cricket world cup. it is hugely exciting with england being the host and the favourites. what an incredible start. it couldn't have gone better for them and ben stokes could not have gone better. one of his finest performances we have seen for a long time, and a catch which we will see

injusta time, and a catch which we will see injust a moment, possibly time, and a catch which we will see in just a moment, possibly one of the greatest in world cup history. we have to take a look. england are the favourites this year. ben stokes was the man of the match. they beat south africa, he top scored with the bat, taking two wickets and one of the best catches you are likely to ever see. patrick gearey reports. world cups are made by wow moments. how is that for a start? no way! he didn't seem to know how he caught this and the rest of us have no idea. stokes was the stretching limbs and beating heart of this england victory, one that seemed a long way off when a a0—year—old south african legspinner did this second bowl. johnny bairstow, zero. england needed a strong and stable period. they rebuilt. butjust as owen morgan tried to set off fireworks, he found himself brilliantly extinguished. so, it was down to stokes to guide england through the final overs. he topscored with 89

in a total of 311. that at least gave england's new boy jofra archer something to bowl at. he did so at some pace. aiden markrem went first, then faf du plessis. and later, rassie van der dussen. south africa's big guns taken out by a lone archer. no wonder england picked him as soon as he became available. now, the south africans were chasing the game, knowing there were dangers in the deep but never expecting this. oh, no way! a catch that will be remembered long after stokes runs or his wickets that finished the match on a day england proved that they're flexible. i could watch that again and again. ok, liverpool fans, spurs fans...how are the nerves? both sides are in madrid ahead of tomorrow's champions league final. jurgen klopp has been full of praise for his liverpool side as they go for their sixth european cup title. he's told breakfast that he has "world—class players at a sensational club." that full interview coming up just after 8:00.

as for spurs, it's their first champions league final and they go into the game as underdogs. the momentum could be with them, though, after some brilliant late wins in the quarterfinals and the semifinals. and theirforward christian eriksen says winning would mean everything to the club. it would be a dream come true for me, for anyone, really, anyone who plays football knows how much, i know how many people will be watching. i know how many finals i've seen and in my life already and i know how much is at stake. so, to be able to win a champions league, not many people, not many players have done it in their careers. something really special. as for the fans, air traffic control said it expects 600 extra fights this weekend on top of the 8,000 normally operated. our reporter hugh woozencroft is in madrid this morning. good morning. just over 36 hours to go until kick—off, but the atmosphere must be building already? hello. good morning. things heating

up hello. good morning. things heating up here in the early hours. i am standing on one of the main public spacesin standing on one of the main public spaces in the centre of madrid, and this year it will host the main fans park for the supporters of both teams to come and mingle and enjoy a good time. there were a few hundred of them singing songs, getting the party atmosphere started ahead of the game on saturday. it is the calm before the storm because early reports this week suggested as many as 150,000 fans would descend onto madrid ahead of the game. many of them without tickets. the reality of them without tickets. the reality of the situation is we don't know what the situation is we don't know what the exact number will be because so many fans will be travelling from the uk by car and there is a huge number of those who haven't got accommodation inside madrid, many staying in the neighbouring towns and cities. many of those have had and cities. many of those have had an unenviable but maybe enjoyable journey to madrid, and we kept an eye on some of them. have a look.

we have made it across to the other side of the tunnel. what are you doing, stevie? lifelong fans! we are driving to spain to watch them when the european cup for the first time. singing. we set off on wednesday and we are still going. we finally get to madrid, it is a three—dayjourney, an epic one. you have two watch the champions league final. the boys are

here, we have travelled a long way to see the mighty tottenham beat liverpool in the champions league. we have travelled 1100 miles and we have stopped for a night and now we have stopped for a night and now we have ended up in madrid. we have brought the full team with us! here we are! well, when those fans do arrive here in madrid, there will be plenty of festivities for them to enjoy. in this main park behind me, there will bea this main park behind me, there will be a legend matched later on, the former spurs midfielder will be playing as well. those fans are not the only ones still on the way how to madrid because liverpool will arrive late on this morning, their manager basically saying he didn't wa nt manager basically saying he didn't want the trip to madrid to feel like too much of a drag for his players so he took them out last week for a

warm weather training camp. that contrasts with the player with totte n ha m contrasts with the player with tottenham who have been here since wednesday, staying at a state—of—the—art training complex as they prepare for the game. we will hear from the managers later at their final hear from the managers later at theirfinal press hear from the managers later at their final press conferences. we should find out whether hurricane will start for tottenham. that is a big one going into this game. a lot to look forward to a head of the champions league final on saturday evening. i get the impression that square will fill up nicely the next few hours. it is quiet now but you will bejoined by hours. it is quiet now but you will be joined by company soon. i will see you tomorrow. see you then! it looks great, doesn't it? you are making your way there today. my you are making your way there today. my road to madrid starts tonight via lisbon. i should my road to madrid starts tonight via lisbon. ishould make my road to madrid starts tonight via lisbon. i should make one of these videos like some of the fans later on. you don't have a ticket. no, i don't have a ticket. i am one of the many who do not have a

ticket. for me, it isjust of the many who do not have a ticket. for me, it is just being pa rt ticket. for me, it is just being part of the atmosphere and enjoying it. you will get you a ticket. i have already told him. sort it out, hugh. great stuff. have a lovely weekend. sarah has climbed 325 steps to get to the top of the magnificent durham cathedral. just to give us the weather. good morning again, sarah. good morning. i have my breath back after the 325 steps first thing this morning. it is a beautiful view from the top of the central tower of durham cathedral. it has been closed for three years, it is about to reopen to the public after a major programme of repairs that cost about £2 million. norman, you are the cathedral archaeologist, so talk me through the history of this cathedral. how long has it stood here at this site? it was started in

1093 and it took about 40 years into the 11 30s and it had a central tower into the western towers. the 11 30s and it had a central tower into the western towersm was struck by lightning twice. yes, 1429 and 1459. since then, have there been many major repair works like this undertaken? the major reconstruction of the tower into stages after the lightning strikes, and then the next major was in the victorian period where there was a lot of refacing and construction of the parapet. during these repair works, as an archaeologist did you find out anything new, any artefacts for instance? the main thing was in taking core samples from the timbers and getting the tree ring dates out of the roof structures, which gave us some idea of the reconstruction after the lightning, and seeing how the victorians put the building reconstructed it by actually seeing, we took it apart, how it had been

put together then. thank you so much. cathedral tower is set to open to the public tomorrow and they are expecting about 100,000 visitors per year to the central tower of the cathedral. from up here, there is a beautiful view as the sunrise is this morning. some clear spells and afairamount of this morning. some clear spells and a fair amount of cloud, and we have quite a cloudy start to the day but things are going to warm up and brighten up. into the weekend, temperatures are on the rise, reaching the high 205, especially across parts of england and wales. not quite as one for scotland and northern ireland because we had the weather front moving in from the atlantic. bringing rain across scotla nd atlantic. bringing rain across scotland and northern ireland. but 5°99y scotland and northern ireland. but soggy over the past few days. this morning across england and wales the cloud will thin and brake, sunshine developing in the western that sunshine creeping east through the day. we do see blue skies and we are likely to see temperatures around 20

to 22 celsius. further north—west it is not quite as warm. cloud and outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland so temperatures typically in the mid—to high teens. as we had on this evening and overnight, we will see the rain in the north starting to drift away so it will dry the north starting to drift away so it willdry up the north starting to drift away so it will dry up across the country and a mostly dry and clear night, mist and fog patches forming here and there but it will be mild and quite muggy with temperatures holding a nine to 13 degrees. we start off saturday with a fairly mild human note, mostly dry but there will be a few spots of light rain particularly for part of north—west england, south—west scotla nd north—west england, south—west scotland as well, a weak weather front lingering. a few showers for the north—west of scotland but an improved day for scotland compared to what we have today. in the sunshine towards the south and south—east likely to see highs of 26, possibly 27 celsius and it will feel quite light breeze around as well. sunday, it is all change as with a light breeze around as well.

sunday, it is all change as we see low pressure moving from the west that will bring blustery showers from west south—east of england and east anglia will hold onto sunny and warm weather for the longest time. temperatures around 24 degrees or so, but it will turn cooler from the north—west with the arrival of those blustery showers. many of us things are warming up over the next day or so, looking at temperatures in the high 205 for but many of us see a return to showers by sunday. back durham has a special place in your hearts, we know, because you went to university there. and we managed to get a photograph of you, on your graduation day. only a few years ago, honest! obviously. it is lovely being back, though. it is such a great city. thank you very much indeed. there was a bit of breakup

on the microphone there, i thought you collapsed when we showed you the picture. stay strong up there.” think i would be mortified if people showed my graduation. or mortar board. shirley bassey, snakes in thejungle and romance in the back row of the cinema — those are just some of the topics which came up when people in their 805 and 905 were asked to take to the microphone to share their favourite stories about their lives. the be heard night in doncaster was created to give a platform to people with fantastic tales who want to share them with an audience. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went along to find out more. it really chucked it down — bucketfulls. we had lovely experiences going round the world. a music hall theatre, but was now a cinema. a a simple concept — give 80—year—olds the chance to tell their favourite stories

in front of a paying audience. so our charity speaks to older neighbours in the community every day of the week, and we hear some awesome stories, and we just find it such a shame that no—one gets to hear them. backstage, stanley, who is 97, was raring to go. i hadn't heard that... many people enjoy talking about themselves, and i'm no different from anyone else. i like talking about myself. and as for sally, she was going to share stories about her life in showbiz with her late husband larry. this is like britain's got talent. here we are in the corridor, right next to the stage. how do you feel about performing? i feel fine, thank you. no nerves? no nerves whatsoever. do you mind us asking how old you are? i am 90 this year. 90! and they're off, sally telling the audience about working with shelley bassey, stealing a knife from hitler's house, and charming americans.

in america, we were buying a postcard to send back to england saying having a lovely time. and my husband, who had gone to public school here in england, was terribly like that. and the manager came over and said to him, don't buy anything, sir. just keep talking. you give the place class. little did he know he was a german jewish refugee. victor enthused about his military service in malaysia. you got mosquitoes, and you've got snakes. and stanley reminisced about what it was like to go to the cinema in 19305 doncaster. some people sitting on the double seat at the back of the cinema. but still, that was that. we won't go into that. afterwards, it was clear they had all loved their moment in the spotlight.

one has to spread the word, because a lot of young people don't know what went on 80 years ago. i mean, i am 90 this year, so it's a long, long time ago that all these things happened. it really gives you confidence in yourself and builds your esteem up. i really enjoyed it. it's the first time i've ever spoken in public. did it come out all right? very well. the plan is for these events to spread all around the uk, so more memories can be shared. i think that's about all, folks. applause a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great idea, a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great idea, isn't a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great idea, isn't it? a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great idea, isn't it? it a big round of applause for him, it isa a big round of applause for him, it is a great idea, isn't it? it could go on all night, you would buy a ticket and be there hours later. what went on in the back seats? we may never know.

the government wants to build 300,000 homes a year in england by the middle of the next decade, so could assembling them in factories be part of the solution to the country's housing shortage? nina is in knaresborough to find out. yes, good morning. welcome to my home. only kidding, my walls have never been this clean. we are talking modular homes this morning, that means, as you say, homes that are built inside a factory, on—site, and driven by laurie to where they will become homes for families. and driven by laurie to where they will become homes forfamilies. the boilers are installed here, the electrics, and people can even choose their light fitting before it is delivered. the government says we are hundreds of thousands of homes short, we have so many fewer than what we need. they think that modular homes like this are a big pa rt modular homes like this are a big part of the solution to that crisis. think of prefab homes and you'll probably have something like this in mind. ..mr churchill, as emergency

dwellings for service personnel... prefab houses built after the second world war for returning soldiers and following bomb damage. they weren't built to last, but they were lived in for decades after they were supposed to be. but modern modular homes, as their builders prefer to call them, are being touted as a potential solution to the housing crisis and the construction skill shortage. they are built to a higher quality these days, and take roughly half the time to build in a factory then assemble on—site, like a traditional builds. but only around 1% of new homes built last year, that is fewer than 15,000, were modular buildings. yes, have a look at this one that has just been put on these lifters, which are controlled by bluetooth. they will take it on the back of a

lorry and it will be driven to kent, and the top floor, which is across the way over there, will be put on it. amazing, isn't it? and let's talk to dave, you are responsible for 750 of these new homes, the biggest affordable housing contract like that at the moment. what are the advantages of making them on this production line as opposed to constructing them on site? it is a lot wea ker, constructing them on site? it is a lot weaker, because we control the process , lot weaker, because we control the process, it is a lot cleaner, so much betterfor process, it is a lot cleaner, so much better for the environment, because it is done inside a factory, so less carbon. it is also high—quality because it is precision engineered, so we can guarantee the customer gets a high—quality home which comes out of the factory. and when it comes to local employment there are advantages, because there is bottleneck when it comes to the labour force is bottleneck when it comes to the labourforce in is bottleneck when it comes to the labour force in instruction, is bottleneck when it comes to the labourforce in instruction, meaning low skilled workers confined walk. -- -- can low skilled workers confined walk. —— —— can find work. low skilled workers confined walk. —— —— canfind work. we low skilled workers confined walk. —— —— can find work. we can fill this skills gap by bringing people

in from manufacturing, retail, and training them to do production on the line which gives opportunities for employment in places like this, which would have been lost. there are all these advantages to modular homes, and we are still in the midst of this crisis, the government not hitting 50% of its target. you advise the government on housing. why are these houses not flying off the shelves? i think half the problem is our industry has been notoriously reticent to change, it doesn't like to do anything different to what it has always done. we are still essentially building homes the way we did 100 yea rs building homes the way we did 100 years ago. there are fundamental issues with the split between manufacturers that you see at the factory and the fact that the land you have to build on is owned by other people. so the fact the deal has been announced today, with places for people who have shown a real leadership position, saying we

have the land and the manufactured homes, let's come together and talk about doing a deal at scale. you have worked closely with government, people saying we hear it every year. are they committed to building more homes? there will be people watching thinking i need an affordable house, it is really impacting my life. everything i am seeing confirms the fa ct everything i am seeing confirms the fact they are taking this seriously, there is a realfirm commitment to modernise the homebuilding market and create additional capacity. the big problem we have at the moment is we're not going to build 300,000 homes a year, which is what the government is saying. we have to have means of construction which are modern, technology enabled, and i going to drive high—quality as well. we have a big problem in the market at the moment around poor quality homes. so this is about notjust extra numbers, it is about quality homes. mark was saying earlier if we look at the time scale, it will be at least five to ten years before that housing crisis is met, because of the scale of it. we will have to let these guys go now, because this has to get all the way to kent for a lucky new family due to live in it. i don't want to be stuck behind it on the motorway, i can tell you.

there is a lot of building going on. but it is somebody‘s home, and we need lots of homes. thanks very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. the mayor has promised more money to tackle london's knife crime problem. it comes after a trial in parts of south london where offenders were tagged after being released from prison. now £700,000 pounds will be spent expanding this programme to 20 boroughs in a bid to reduce reoffending. one of the things we know, unfortunately, is too many people who leave prison who've been convicted before of carrying a knife, using a knife, gbh, serious offences, go on to reoffend. i'm afraid too many people aren't rehabilitated. over a million londoners rent their homes, and they are set to be affected by changes that come into force tomorrow. there is a ban on upfront fees

for new renters and those renewing their tenancies. there are also caps on how much landlords and agents can ask for as a deposit. the national landlords association says the new rules will curb abuses, but tenant campaign groups warn banning charges won't solve the problem. the archive of one of britain's most famous sculptors is open to the public for the first time. henry moore's house at perry green in hertfordshire has been refurbished, and is now the world's leading resource on his life and work. this season, visitors can see his illustrations for books and magazines, but he was most famous for his monumental bronze sculptures. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on all tube lines this morning, but tfl rail has minor delays. on the trains, there is disruption between gatwick airport and east croydon due to a points failure. it is affecting the gatwick express, southern and thameslink services. and on the roads, the a40 is slow

into town on the approach to gypsy corner, acton. and in central london, old street is slow approaching the old street roundabout due to the new two—way traffic system. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for what will probably be the warmest weekend of the year so far. now, we're already in that warmer air, of course, but there's quite a lot of moisture in it at the moment, so it's a rather grey start the day. lots of low cloud around, some mist and some murk. it will tend to brighten up through the day, and we'll probably end the afternoon with lots of blue sky and sunshine. now, it's a mild start to the morning. we've got temperatures in the mid—teens, in celsius, of course. lots of low cloud around, though it will brighten up somewhat through the morning into the afternoon. maybe some spells of sunshine through the middle part of the afternoon, as well. top temperatures between 19 and as high as 22 degrees celsius. the south—westerly wind not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. now, you'll notice behind me we've

got some clear air feeding in from the west. that's drier air. it means we'll end the day with quite a lot of sunshine around, and keep those clear skies overnight, too. temperatures dropping probably no lower than double figures. it all sets us up nicely for a lovely day of weather tomorrow. we could see temperatures as high as 26—28 degrees celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine. we'll keep the warmth on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and tina dahely. our headlines today: as the number of candidates bidding to lead the conservatives rises to 12, one major business organisation calls on the hopefuls to avoid a no deal brexit. a warning that a record number of gps

surgeries are being closed — increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties are blamed. thousands of fans make their way to madrid for tomorrow's champions league final between liverpool and spurs. liverpool managerjurgen klopp opens up to bbc breakfast about how his father has inspired his success. unfortunately he died before i became a manager but i know he's in a better place and having the best position probably in any stand and see all this stuff. england live up to the hype at the cricket world cup. ben stokes pulls off an amazing catch in a man of the match display in a dominant win over south africa. good morning. the biggest bash yet of factory built, affordable housing. could they be the key to solving our housing crisis? iam in i am in durham, iam in durham, at the i am in durham, at the central tower

of the cathedral which is reopening after three years of major repair work. i will bring you the forecast for today and a pretty one weekend in about 15 minutes. it's friday 31st may. our top story... and then there were 12. mark harper, a former chief whip — 12th candidate has joined the race to replace prime minister theresa may. the latest is mark harper, a former whip. it comes as the confederation of british industry warns all the hopefuls that a no—deal brexit would cause "severe" damage to british businesses. in an open letter the cbi, director—general carolyn fairbairn urged the next prime minister to reach an agreement with brussels, warning them that smaller companies can't afford the necessary preparations for leaving without a plan. businesses are resilient, but let's be absolutely clear. there is no such thing as managing no deal. it is impossible to prepare except for the very biggest companies. 85% of small companies cannot prepare, they haven't got the money,

they haven't got the time to be able to put contingency plans in place, so of course the world will carry on spinning. but we would have lostjobs, we'd have lost investment and damaged our economy. this issue of a no—deal brexit seems to be the dividing line in the tory party. let's get more on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake, in westminster. another candidate declared ? another candidate declared? yes, another name added to the list in this crowded contest. with the warning from business, it's interesting to hear mark harper, the latest na m e interesting to hear mark harper, the latest name in the race, former government minister under david cameron but has been on the backbenches for the last few years, saying leaving the eu without a deal is not a credible option and he

would be in favour of extending the transition period and renegotiating. but the eu have said that is a nonstarter. he is positioning himself as the underdog because you may not recognise his name or his face. but he says that is something he can turn to his advantage because he's not attached to theresa may and recent government failures, as he sees it, to deliver brexit. the crowded field, we are up to 12 and there may be more. lots of people in there may be more. lots of people in the conservative party starting to worry about this and there is a meeting of senior benchers next week talking about changing the rules to limit the number of candidates and setting a higher threshold for people to enter the race. it is like the start of the grand national, all crowded onto the starting line. jonathan, thank you very much. how many more, nobody knows? gp surgery closures across the uk have reached an all time high,

affecting an estimated half a million patients last year, according to new research. an investigation by the medical website pulse found under—resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close with many smaller practices merging to survive. our reporter leigh milner has more. just say ah for me — that is excellent. every year, millions of people are treated by their local gp. but over the past year, the nhs has lost more than 400 fully qualified gps in england and surgery closures across the uk are at an all—time high. according to new figures released by the medical magazine pulse, in 2013, just 18 surgeries shut across the uk. by last year, that number had increased to 138. nhs england, which runs the health service, said it refuted the pulse figures. according to their data, which only covers the past financial year, it had seen fewer closures and patient dispersals. let's just lift this over your hand.

the investigation also revealed that gps felt that increasing workloads and recruitment difficulties meant practices were often forced to close as a last resort. how can we help today? speaking earlier this month to the bbc, dr carmel boyhan irvine, who works in plymouth, said something has to change. there is a crisis in general practice, it is very real, it is the worst crisis since 1948. its future is injeopardy, there's no doubt about that. as a result of the surgery closures, the research revealed that more than 500,000 people were affected. leigh milner, bbc news. a lawyer for shamima begum, the teenage jihadi bride who fled britain tojoin isis, has written to the home secretary accusing the uk authorities of failing to protect her from being trafficked by islamic state fighters. according to the letter seen by the bbc, ms begum was "groomed" and "trafficked to an isis controlled territory". it cites multiple failings by authorities to safeguard the then 15—year—old schoolgirl.

hanna yusuf reports. stripped of her british citizenship and held in a syrian refugee camp, shamima begum faces an uncertain future. she left her home in east london with two school friends. they managed to travel despite a close friend having made the journey to syria months earlier. according to her lawyer, shamima begum was targeted and trafficked by islamic state. well, isis have a propaganda machine where they reached out to the world, into the mobile phone of shamima begum, and managed to groom her, giving her the advice that she needed to successfully, as a 15—year—old girl, evade uk police, counterterrorism, cross a border between syria and turkey and find herself betrothed under an isis ceremony to a 23—year—old man. the letter to the home secretary cites failures by the uk authorities to stop the three girls from leaving for syria. it claims the families should have been warned the girls were at risk of being trafficked for exploitation

by is fighters. police say there was no sign that any of the girls, who were pupils at bethnal green academy, were vulnerable or radicalised. the home office won't comment on the case but says decisions to deprive individuals of their citizenship are not taken lightly. shamima begum's family are challenging that decision but say the little hope they had when she was first found has been stolen from them. for others, shejoined is willingly and should face the consequences. hanna yusuf, bbc news. the american singer r kelly, has been charged with a further 11 sexual assault and abuse offences. court records show the charges relate to a child aged between 13 and 16 years old and some carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. police in hungary have arrested the captain of a ship, which crashed into a smaller tourist boat on the river danube killing

at least seven people. the 64—year—old ukrainian national was held on charges of reckless misconduct following the incident in budapest. as well as the seven confirmed deaths, 21 people are still missing. a fungus, genetically enhanced to produce spider toxin, can rapidly kill huge numbers of the mosquitoes that spread malaria, according to a new study. trials, which took place in burkina faso in west africa, showed mosquito populations collapsed by 99% within 45 days. the researchers say their aim is not to make the insects extinct but to help stop the spread of the disease. uber has posted a loss of nearly £800 million. the company's shares have sunk almost 11% since it became a public company two weeks ago. this is depite a 20% rise in revenues and an increase

in the number of people using the service. 41 new protected areas have been designated in the seas around england. the marine conservation zones range from the coast of northumberland, where they'll protect eider ducks, to seas south of the scilly isles which support seabirds, fish and basking sharks. environmentalists are welcoming the announcement but fear there may be issues with enforcing it. there's been drama in america's national spelling bee, with the championship being split eight ways following an unprecedented final. odylic — o—d—y—l—c, odylic. odylic — o—d—y—l—i—c, odylic. applause. the competition was tight between the youngsters who endured 20 rounds of spelling complicated words. each of the eight winners spelt

47 words consecutively without any mistakes. that is so impressive. they were all trying to grab the trophy. we don't need to spell any more, do we? you do, let's try. the words they had to speu do, let's try. the words they had to spell our bunkers. what about this one? erysipelas. just in case you don't know it is an acute, recurring disease caused by bacteria.

r kelly. bougainville year. the webbing on the feet of an aquatic bird is called a palomar. we are going to find the application form and next year they will not be a tie, tina is going to wipe the boards. i know this word isn't as difficult, we used to sing to learn words. jurgen klopp's record of getting teams to finals is excellent, but his success rate in them is less impressive. speu spelljuergen klopp. really? it is

on the autocue. it doesn't mean it is right. the liverpool boss goes into tomorrow's champions league final against spurs hoping to end a six—match losing run in finals. sally caught up with him at the club's training ground to find out how his late father inspired him and how he copes with the pressure for his team to perform. it's part of life. we have no holiday, 365 days here, none of us. so there are more stressful moments, there are less stressful moments and having stressful moments in a positive way, going to a final is positive stress obviously, it makes life exciting and that's good. i go to sleep with one line in my mind, wake up with a completely different line, i have no clue what happened in between. in the night, someone's telling you? yes, obviously.

it's wonderful. the onlyjob i really can do, to be honest, but together with a bunch of world—class players in a sensational club, how is that, if i was not a happy person i would be really crazy. when you go in front of the kop and you do your little fist bump and they roar back at you, what's that feeling like? i felt it in that moment, i felt all the energy has to go somewhere. you've been described in your biography as so passionate and energetic on the touchline, i think the author described you as like a six—year—old afterfar too much sugar. laughter. thank you. that's a compliment! is it? oh good. isn't it? i'm not sure. no, it's yes. my energy level at football games is pretty high, that's true. but i'm much calmer than i used to be — much, much. you cannot imagine what i did. like what, what did you do? injure myself constantly, i had muscle injuries and everything on the touchline, i was really crazy. do you ever lose your temper?

it happened, in the past it happened. ask the refs. i'm still the record holder, in england its four years now, still the record—holder by paying fines in germany. only because i was speaking too close to refs and did not say... a bit too close? also appropriate and stuff like that. so yes, i've lost my temper from time to time, but even that is long ago. how did a boy who came from such a sporty family, really sporty dad, grew up playing football, tennis, skiing, in that very kind of disciplined upbringing, how did you get to be so relaxed, and so comfortable with it? big luck, fortune, blessing of my life was that i love to do of my life was that i loved to do what my father wanted me to do. i knew my father is very demanding, but he loved watching his slightly

talented boy doing all that stuff. i remember when i had a call, i'd scored four goals in a game and afterwards i had a phone call and he said, i saw your haircut, that's awful. so that's exactly... never mind the game? no, thank you. unfortunately he died before i became a manager. but i know he is now in a better place and having the best, probably position in any stand and seeing all the stuff. but if he would be still alive, it would have been more intense, my career, because he would have asked for a lot of things and said, change this, why did you bring him in in the 45th minute? like a support it with knowledge because he probably would ask me like a supporter with knowledge because he probably would ask me if he can watch training sessions and stuff like this. so, i miss him and of course, but professional —wise, it's more relaxed. i can do what i want without getting judged by him all the time.

you have realfaith, don't you? yeah. he is, feels like he's with you going into this final? yeah, yeah. so what do you think he would say to his slightly talented boy, leading a team into a third champions league final? win it this time. that sounded like a threat, sinister. but he means it, he really wa nts sinister. but he means it, he really wants it. interesting interview and we will hear from the spurs manager in the sports news just after 8:30am about their chances as well tomorrow night. that is what is going on in madrid, but back in durham. sarah is at the cathedral with the weather. beautiful view from the top of the cathedral. you can see across county durham to the edge of the north and

newcastle as well. stunning views from up here. the cathedral has stood here for almost 1000 years. but during a routine inspection seven but during a routine inspection seve n yea rs but during a routine inspection seven years ago it was noticed a lot of stoneware here at the central tower was starting to get wobbly and dangerous. an urgent programme of repairs has been undertaken. it has been shrouded in scaffolding for the last three years but the scaffolding is down and tomorrow the central tower will reopen to the public with its new repaired and renovated stonework. this morning, been a cloudy start but a few bright spells around the rest of the country. it is mild, we have some mild, humid air today and also through the course of the weekend. as we head through this weekend, many places will see those temperatures on the rise. a small heatwave across parts of england and wales but scotland and northern ireland are a little bit fresher. we have a weather front moving in from the atlantic and that is bringing

the atlantic and that is bringing the cloud, breeze and rain to scotla nd the cloud, breeze and rain to scotland and northern ireland today, but further south, high pressure holds on. this morning we have had patchy rain across northern ireland, persistent rain for the west of scotla nd persistent rain for the west of scotland and that will continue on and off drifting slowly north and east woods. a few showers pushing into the north west of england. elsewhere across england and wales there will be sunshine. temperature is about 20, 22 and even 23 degrees. only the mid to the high teens across scotland and northern ireland where we have outbreaks of rain. into this evening and tonight, the rain in the north eases its way northwards, so it will be drying up of scotland, northern ireland as well. a few showers here and there in the north—west and a few showers for parts of northern england and north wales. dry elsewhere, but there could be some mist and fog developing first thing on saturday morning. but it is humid, temperatures 9030 degrees first

thing saturday. saturday will be a decent day across england and wales, but more sunshine than we have seen today. with the blue skies, light winds and sunshine we are likely to see 26, possibly 28 degrees. the warmest weather across the south—east and east anglia but those temperatures up in the 205. typically for scotland and northern ireland, one or two showers on the cards. as we roll through into the second half of the weekend, things change for sunday because we have low pressure moving in from the atlantic, bringing blustery showers that will work their way from west to east. still warm in the south—east on sunday with temperatures around 24 celsius. cooler, the further north and west you are across the uk. that is how it is looking over the next couple of days and some hot weather in store for saturday. a few blustery showers on sunday. shall we head to the coast? why not.

jellyfish, sea horses and mussel beds are just some of the species that it's hoped will benefit from new marine conservation zones. the 41 new protected areas have been designated in the seas around england from the coast of northumberland to the seas south of the scilly isles. emily baxter is a senior marine conservation officer for the wildlife trust. shejoins us now. good morning. exciting? very exciting, it's a real landmark moment because we have been campaigning for marine conservation zones campaigning for marine conservation zones for about ten years and they have been designated bit by bit, but this is the final round of a1 have been designated bit by bit, but this is the final round of 41 sites that have been designated. great news. how significant is it, what does it mean in terms of sea life? it means a whole array of underwater habitats and species from sea horses to deep, muddy planes, cold water coral reefs will be protected from

damaging activities going forward. this is a sea horse, these are all in british waters? because some of the things we might seen in a zoo or they are from the pacific but these are right here? yes, when people watch blue planet and they see this amazing marine life, they don't realise it is right on our doorstep. with sea horses, we don't often see them with our own eyes. we just take them with our own eyes. we just take them for granted or don't even realise the significance? it is kind of out of sight and out of mind, but they are very important. he had brought something with you? yes, this is the world's longest live individual animal. it is a type of cla m individual animal. it is a type of clam and it can live for over 500 years. this is just clam and it can live for over 500 years. this isjust the clam and it can live for over 500 years. this is just the shell, clam and it can live for over 500 years. this isjust the shell, to give you an example. the longest living animal?

it isa it is a quahig. these would be found between the isle of man and northern ireland and it lives in sandy, muddy sediments with a diversity of animals. we don't always associate the coastline around the uk with exotic, rich marine life. what are the more unexpected things you would find? some of the sites that have been confirmed today include the smelter, which is a species of fish related to salmon but it is also called the cucumber fish because it has a distinctive cucumber smell. that lives in the estuaries around

england and scotland but has declined dramatically over 200 yea rs. we declined dramatically over 200 years. we are hoping these conservation sites will help it thrive again. is it a challenge for you as a marine biologist to promote the creatures you are passionate about? they are just not as appealing are they, not as cute, tis appealing are they, not as cute, tis a basic word, as lions, elephants and tigers? some of the weird and wonderful creatures are less appealing but they are vital parts of the food chain that feed the whales, dolphins and seals that we know and love and abundance in our seas. they are a vital part of the picture. a lot of the work is focused around the irish sea, why that area in particular?” focused around the irish sea, why that area in particular? i cover the whole of the north west and the irish sea, it is quite an undervalued place. when people think about lovely marine habitats and beaches, they think of the seas

around the southwest. but the irish sea is really rich in nutrients and full of life. designating these areas is one thing and i guess to be welcomed, but actually making sure it isn't just a welcomed, but actually making sure it isn'tjust a label, that it actually makes a difference, that is actually makes a difference, that is a different challenge altogether? actually makes a difference, that is a different challenge altogether7m is, it is something we have been building on over the years. we were hesitant, but with the sites that have been confirmed over the last few years we are seeing management coming into place to ban a lot of activities like scallop dredging and trolling. it takes time but we are working hard with statutory agencies and other stakeholders to ensure the site are actively protected and not just lines on maps. thank you very much indeed and thank you to the quahig as well.

you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the government has ambitious plans to build 300,000 homes a year in england but could making them in factories be part of the solution to the country's housing shortage? nina's in knaresborough to find out more. good morning. can you see me down here? we're talking about modular homes, meaning bit by bit. houses built on a factory line like this. there, the four walls were put together, windows are added, then the kitchens, bathrooms and then the top parts of the homes are slotted onto the top and then off they go in a lorry. there are huge advantages to homes like this. it gets around the current crisis we are having, the current crisis we are having, the construction and they only take a day to build. but you need a massive factory like this in which to build them and also a lot of mortgage lenders are not quite familiar with them so they are not quite ready to lend against them. we will be looking in a bit more detail

at modular homes and the part they might play in our housing crisis a bit later. at first, the news, travel and weather where you are calling home this morning. good morning. the weather is going to continue to warm up over the next few days, probably peaking on saturday in the south—east of england. today is going to be another warm day, it is not going to be dry, we have got some rain in the far north and west and that is going to be particularly heavy for northern ireland and into scotland. especially the western highlands. elsewhere quite cloudy this morning but there will be some sunshine, especially this afternoon in the south—western corner. but it is the rain in the west of scotland, it could be up to 50 millimetres by the
