good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: the queen and president trump toast the ‘eternal friendship' between britain and america — in the week of the 75th anniversary of the d day landings. tonight we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for decades. as we honour our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future.

today's agenda focuses on politics but protests are expected. in the himalayas, rescue teams consider how to recover the bodies of five climbers — eight are feared dead. tough at the top—shop what next for sir philip green's retail empire? there's a crunch vote this week on plans to close stores and slash rents. england wobble at the cricket world cup. the pre—tournament favourites have a nightmare in the field as they lose to pakistan at trent bridge. an emotional tony foulds visits the graves of three american airmen who lost their lives saving others when their plane crashed in sheffield. it wouldn't bother me if they sat down all night. they did million. we have a band of rain moving in from the south—west and heading north—east. some of it will be heavy and it will be persistent. the driest conditions in the far north of scotla nd driest conditions in the far north of scotland and the south—east. but in the south—east we are not immune

to some heavy showers. they will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's tuesday, 4thjune. our top story: after the formalities of a state banquet, it's down to business on the second day of president trump's state visit. last night, the us leader used his address during the dinner at buckingham palace to praise the queen's "spirit and dignity" throughout her reign of nearly seven decades. later this morning, he will meet theresa may, to discuss a range of issues, including some they don't see eye to eye on, as our political correspondent, iain watson, reports. last night, pomp and ceremony at the state banquet. mr president, i am delighted to welcome you and mrs trump. a celebration of the close link between the uk and the us. on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of

oui’ toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long cherished and truly remarkable rain of her majesty, the queen. critics of the president, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn and idlib them either sir vince cable didn't turn up. —— lib dem. and their underlying tensions between some allies. today they will exchange gifts. they will also exchange gifts. they will also exchange views on issues where they don't see eye to eye. the prime minister is likely to be critical of the us administration on climate change. there are differences on how to handle iran's nuclear ambitions and tensions over the chinese tech firm, huawei. the president on —— doesn't want its allies to give contracts doesn't want its allies to give co ntra cts to doesn't want its allies to give contracts to a firm he thinks is too close to the chinese government. but the prime minister hasn't ruled out doing business with them daily. theresa may will have opportunities to chat on a i—to—i basis with

donald trump today. but their main meeting will also be attended by other ministers and advisers. theresa may's tymon number 10 is coming to an end soon. the us administration may well want to take an overview of the candidates vying to replace her. iain watson, bbc news. ina in a moment we will speak to richard galpin outside the us ambassador‘s residence where president trump is staying. first we go tojessica parker who is in westminsterfor us this morning. good morning to you. as we mentioned, yesterday was all about the tuxedos. today is the business suits. that is right. there will be a business breakfast and then talks at downing street. if yesterday was about the pageantry, todayis yesterday was about the pageantry, today is all about the politics. you can't imagine two more different liga leaders. there is donald trump, the rule breaker, the impromptu tweeter, then there is theresa may whose greatest misdemeanour famously was running through a field of

wheat. if they have varying clinical styles they also have varying political views. all eyes will be on the press conference they are due to hold a later today —— political styles was of a big cloud hanging over the stalks for them. theresa may only has days left as the party leader and weeks left as the prime minister. that'll dampen the talk. while the doctor going on, protests are expected to be held across the country —— while the talks are going on. the protests will be addressed by the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, who boycotted last night's state banquet. jessica, thank you. we speak to richard galpin. it is interesting looking at the front pages. every single front pages dominated by a picture of the president the queen. is he getting out of this trip what he wanted? —— president and the queen. us officials have made it clear that they are absolutely delighted by the

way this visit has gone so far. and mrtrump way this visit has gone so far. and mr trump himself has put out a tweet overnight saying it's all going very well. the royal family have been fantastic. and we have a strong relationship with the uk. it is also claiming that there have been tremendous crowds. that is somewhat dubious. a very small crowd, as we understand it, around buckingham palace. he says he has not seen any protest. there were some small protests last night. he is also talking about a trade deal being possible once the uk, as he put it, as got rid of the shackles, i.e., post—brexit. he seems to be very happy as well. there have not been any major gaffes so fired lease. as jessica was saying, today will be a big day of protests. there is talk of tens of thousands of people going out on the streets here in london and across the country in protest at the fact that donald trump has come

to this country. richard, thank you very much. we will have more from you later. indian authorities are considering how to recover five bodies spotted in the himalayas, close to where a party of eight climbers disappeared on friday. the group, including four from britain, had been climbing nanda devi, the country's second highest mountain, when it was hit by avalanches. ben ando reports. this the photograph that has all but extinguished what little hope remained for the missing climbers. they can buy a rescue helicopter that was finally able to lift off once heavy weather cleared. we it returns, the crew said they'd spotted bodies and equipment on the treacherous slopes of nanda devi, india's second highest peak. the missing climbers, four britons, two americans, and australia, and an indian, have not been heard from since the sunday before last. four others who are part of the same group were rescued two days ago. they had turned back early because of the bad weather and told rescue

was that those who were still missing had pressed onto the summit, only for the mountain to be struck by avalanches. the group was being led by well—known mountaineer, martin wran, seen well—known mountaineer, martin wran, seen on well—known mountaineer, martin wran, seen on the left ear guiding those in scotland. rupert had taken the trip as a 50th birthday present to himself. nanda devi is considered one of the world's toughest climbs, only a handful of made it to the summit. recovering the missing will bea summit. recovering the missing will be a huge challenge. they are believed to be above 5000m and there isa believed to be above 5000m and there is a strong possibility of further avalanches. ben ando, bbc news. lawyers representing borisjohnson are understood to be challenging a court summons which accuses him of misconduct in a public office. the man who brought the private prosecution against mrjohnson,

marcus ball, said an application forjudicial review of the case had been lodged. the former foreign secretary is accused of misleading the public during the eu referendum campaign by claiming the uk sent £350 million to brussels each week. customers will be able to fill up their own containers with products that were previously wrapped, as part of a new trial by one major supermarket. in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, items including pasta, fruit and veg, wine, and washing—up liquid will be available at waitrose without any packaging. the trail will run for 11 weeks, to see if customers are prepared to change how they shop. 30 years ago, the chinese government sent tanks and soldiers into beijing's tiananmen square, to crush a peaceful, pro—democracy student protest. the images of that day shocked the world, but because of censorship in china, no—one there knows

for sure how many people were killed in the demonstrations. our china correspondent robin brant is in beijing for us this morning. really good to talk to you. i wonder how the chinese authorities will be acknowledging what happened then and the anniversary of that today. well, they won't be acknowledging it. there is no official commemoration on the mainland. what people he woke up on the mainland. what people he woke up to exactly 30 years ago in tiananmen square, about two kilometres that way, was a scene of carnage on the square. hundreds more, we now know, were killed in the roads around the square. we have heard from state—run media, global times newspaper, in the last 2a hours, referring to the actions of the army who was sent in after five weeks as a vaccination, bringing immunity against turmoil in the future, the newspaper said. the road here, just in front of the balcony from where i am talking to you from,

30 years ago today, there were tanks on that road. part of the army effort preventing people from going any further in. there is also now, though, a propaganda statuejust in the middle of the carriageway there, the middle of the carriageway there, the wording exhorting drivers as they go by to help build a beautiful, democratic china. that democratic china, 30 years on, is very different to the democracy envisaged by the protesters were crossed in square onjune four 1989. thank you very much that. a poignant reminder. 30 years ago since tiananmen square. the small city of bend, in oregon, is often a pit stop for campers travelling to the nearby national parks. but now, there's growing interest in the city thanks to it being home to the last remaining blockbuster store in the world! having survived the company filing for bankruptcy in 2017, the store has become a tourist destination. at its peak in november 2004, blockbuster had more than 9000 stores spread across 15 countries and employed more than 58,000 people in the us alone.

used to love a friday night trip to blockbuster. i did two. used to love a friday night trip to blockbuster. idid two. but used to love a friday night trip to blockbuster. i did two. but we did not love it enough to save it. it is because the world changed. not love it enough to save it. it is because the world changedlj not love it enough to save it. it is because the world changed. i got slightly obsessed with blockbuster this morning. they offer netflix ‘s best they were offered netflix, and they turned it down. netflix is now a $21 billion. oh my goodness. you can't always be right. you could file that under missed opportunity. speaking of you can't always be right, who will win the world cup? two games in. the marathon has started. is it something to do with the attitude? england had a shocker against pakistan at the cricket world cup. captain eoin morgan blamed his side's attitude and fielding as they lost by 1a balls at trent bridge. there were missed catches, lacklustre bowling and loads of mis—fields as the pre—tournament favourites were shocked by pakistan

side who'd lost 11 straight matches before this one. andy murray's confirmed that he'll make his return to competitive tennis later this month. he's going to play in the doubles at queens, just over four months after having surgery to resurface one of his hipjoints. caster semenya's been told she doesn't have to take medication to reduce her levels of testosterone — for the time being at least. it's after a swiss court temporarily suspended a new ruling from the governing body of athletics. and tracey neville will step down as the head coach of england's netball team after next month's world cup. she says her desire to start a family is one of the main reasons behind her decision. spend her time focusing on that for the time being. i will say she will be back. it is very interesting to go before. the timing of the announcement is quite tricky because

the world cup is coming up next month now. but she has been really honest about it. eye on if that will drive her players on. i hope so. -- i wonder. we will talk to somebody later on this morning who wants to get thejob, or hearing later on this morning who wants to get the job, or hearing from them. excellent. shall we have a look at the morning's weather? good morning to you. if you have been crying out for annual press have been answered. there is rain in the forecast today. it is cloudy as well. some of us will see some sunshine. rain is likely to be heavy, fairly persisting, and have the odd rumble of thunder mixed in there as well. low pressure is driving the weather. coming in from the south—west. it is moving north—eastward through the course of the day. it is taking the rain with it. it is not going to be as windy as it was yesterday, except for across the far north of scotland. through the day you can see the progression of the rain through the south—west, wales, to the midlands, northern england, northern ireland, and southern scotland. had a bit there will be some showers in

northern scotland. equally, sunny spells between —— ahead of it. there will be dry weather and bratz dolls behind of it. in the south—east we could see the odd shower —— bright spells. temperatures, 11 in the north, highs of 20 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight the area of low pressure continues to drift north, taking the rain with it. this is the centre of the low pressure. the front is wrapped around it so we have that coming in across scotland, northern ireland, and through north wales. there will be some clearing and the skies, mist and fog badges forming. temperatures falling to 7— 12 degrees —— fog patches. temperatures represent what you see in towns and cities. rural areas lower than that. we start tomorrow with low pressure dominating the weather. here is the centre of it, the big hole you can see in the north sea. with the

weather front wrapped around it. where we have the weather front is where we are going to see the rain. as the low pressure centres dragged towards scandinavia the weather front around it is dragged towards the north sea. that is where we will see all the rain. further south, one or two showers. many of us will mist them. looking at highs of up to 19. this system is what we are keeping a close eye on. this is the weather front coming in from the near continent. through the latter part of the afternoon into the evening and overnight we will see some rain from this. as we head through the course of thursday, it looks very much like it will move up the east coast and become ensconced across scotland. again them heavy rain. behind it, drier and scotland. again them heavy rain. behind it, drierand brighter conditions, showers and southern england, wales, the rain later in getting across northern ireland. as we head on into friday, potentially this is a more important area of low pressure coming in from the near continent, taking its rain, moving steadily up the eastern side of the

uk. again, some of that rain will be heavy. as we head on in through the weekend it remains unsettled. as you can see, over the next few days we are not looking at a bone dry day. there will be showers and rain, but equally some dry spells and sunshine. unsettled sums it up quite nicely. thank you very much, carol. let's take a look at today's papers. there is only one story dominating the papers this morning. the us president, donald trump's, three—day state visit to the uk is splashed across the front pages. star—spangled banquet is the metro's take, after the queen hosted the us president and first lady melania trump at buckingham palace last night. the times leads on the political angle of the president's visit. it reports that theresa may is set to take a tough line with the president over chinese company huawei. pomp and protest, says the daily mirror, which looks ahead to the demonstration expected against mr trump later today. it claims 250,000 protesters could take to the streets. asjeremy corbyn looks set to speak

at anti—trump demonstrations today, the independent leads with calls from labour mps for their leader to stop this style of protest politics. the paper also features a picture of the interesting handshake that the queen and us president shared upon his arrival to buckingham palace yesterday. and one of the images that gained some attention on day one of the president's visit — this picture of ivanka trump looking out the window as her father's helicopter landed on the lawn of buckingham palace. do you remember meeting her majesty the queen when we opened the new studios over here? she came in for a

little bit, and the handshake is quite essential. i was briefed on how to shake the hand of the queen for about five minutes. you can't extend your hand until she extends her is, all that sort of business. there is definitely no fist pumping going on. i suppose if you are the president, you can do that, can't you? was a moment when they were together and he sort of stood back slightly, obviously learning from last time. a big day for apple yesterday, announcing plans as we talked about yesterday on the programme, the end of itunes. many of you will know itunes as the way to get cds onto your ipod, launched in 2001, but it is the end of the road. they will launch some separate apps which basically split music, videos and games into separate apps. do people still have ipods? yes, some people still have them, but lots of questions about the music people have downloaded from their computer onto their ipod, but it is an example of apple not quite getting it right, because it when it first launched, steve jobs getting it right, because it when it first launched, stevejobs was saying no—one will want to rent music, to pay a subscription, they

wa nt to music, to pay a subscription, they want to own it. and of course time has since proved that we would all like to use subscription services, where we don't actually own any physical cds or even the digital file, wejust physical cds or even the digital file, we just use physical cds or even the digital file, wejust use it physical cds or even the digital file, we just use it on the go. and as soon as your subscription runs out you are a bit stuffed because you don't have any music anymore. can you remember the last time you bought a cd? a long, long time. too long ago. but if you're cds are on itunes they will stay there, they don't disappear. that is an important thing, the amount of time you spent uploading them all...m doesn't disappear overnight, it will still be there, it willjust be called something different. how important our coaches in the sporting world? incredibly important. this is england training at st george's park, and after he finished a match playing for leicester, pep made a beeline for

him and said you are a really good player, i like the way you are playing, you are really talented. keep playing well, keep getting up and down the pitch and never going away from it. it is quite an interesting tactic by pep to have a little tap on the shoulder while you are still on the pitch, i think it is quite interesting and possibly slightly unsettling. and in the daily mail, another coach i want to talk about, this isjo konta's new coach, he is called the tennis whisperer because he speaks in quite a quiet voice, like that. never shouts, really, really calm. what do they call that online, where you can listen to it, people cutting things? asmr. something like that. who was in that film the horse whisperer? robert redford, come on!|j

in that film the horse whisperer? robert redford, come on! i haven't got my glasses, so i can't read it. a group of japanese got my glasses, so i can't read it. a group ofjapanese women have got my glasses, so i can't read it. a group of japanese women have asked the government to ban employers from forcing them to wear high heels. thank you so much, that is fine. i love these glasses. i mightjust have to permanently leave them under here. have a look, as well, to honour donald trump's visit, this young girl named tatiana is crocheting a life—size donald trump is part of her a—level course. i have to say it is slightly ironic, she is not the biggest fan, apparently, but there we go. she is not the biggest fan, apparently, but there we gom she is not the biggest fan, apparently, but there we go. it took me awhile to work out that they are her legs, not his. yes. it is like that thing where you are a leprechaun, and your legs are... i need to explain it. specialist first aid kits are being displayed in more than 50

bars and clubs in birmingham from today in an attempt to reduce the number of deaths from knife crime. the kits contain essential items to stop the flow of blood from knife wounds. other cities, including nottingham and liverpool, are also introducing similar equipment after a number of recent attacks, as kathryn stanczyszyn reports. it is hoped this little bag will save lives. birmingham says it has become the first bleed control city, as this specialist first aid kit is rolled out at venues across the centre. they will bear the name and the face of the person that inspired them. it was a terrible time, it still is. it still is. that was two yea rs still is. it still is. that was two years ago, nearly, and it still like it was yesterday. 26-year-old daniel baird was stabbed to death on a night out in a birmingham pub. for the last 1a months, his mother, lynne, has tirelessly campaigned for the rollout of these kits, which she believes could have prevented their

heartache. i think he could still be with us, i really do. because he wasn't aware that he'd even been stabbed, i don't think. no. and these kinds of injuries, they are... they are just awful, because you don't actually realise what's happened, and you can be bleeding out, and if no—one's there that knows what to do, that's it. now, lynne's idea has become a reality. ba rs lynne's idea has become a reality. bars like the loft are being given specific training on how to use the kits to prevent what is called a catastrophic lead. 0n kits to prevent what is called a catastrophic lead. on average, it ta kes catastrophic lead. on average, it takes an ambulance seven minutes to arrive. bloodlust can be fatal in as little as three or four minutes. and you wind until the bleeding stops. i ama you wind until the bleeding stops. i am a trauma doctor and trauma injuries is what i do and deal with day in and day out, and it is absolutely heartwarming when you see absolutely heartwarming when you see a patient who has had correct

first—aid applied in the community, that has brought us time to be able to do more complex interventions in a hospital setting. the reality is, unfortunately, knife crime nationally is on an increase, and this brings about a certain level of concern as to whether, while we are being trained in this, how we concerned that someone might have a knife injury in our businesses and in ourarea and knife injury in our businesses and in our area and in our city. but i'm afraid that's the society that we now live in, and we got to take every precaution and embrace the scheme, to hopefully save lives. west midlands ambulance service helped design the kits and will also map all of their locations so they can point people to their nearest one when a relevant 999 call comes in. against the background of a rise in violent crime nationally, knife crime in the west midlands has risen by more than 70% since 2013. this knife angel sculpture in the heart of birmingham is symbolic of a very real problem in the city. lots of people are trying to come up with

solutions to that problem around prevention, as well as things like the bleed control kits, but that cost money. west midlands police says it is going to get an extra £7.5 million from government, but that it £7.5 million from government, but thatitis £7.5 million from government, but that it is not enough. the home 0ffice that it is not enough. the home office says police forces should fund pilots like this. lynne hopes the little red bag will become daniel's legacy. and we will be talking about that a little bit more later in the programme. still to come on breakfast: since 1964, the documentary series up has dipped into the lives of a group of people every seven years, since they were the age of seven. it made us reminisce about life when we were growing up. can you guess who these three are?

shall we leave those as question marks? one of those has got to be steph. shall we leave it there? louise is taking editorial control. do not reveal who they are, you can guess at home. they are a little bit older than that now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. president trump will meet business leaders in london this morning, on the second day of his state visit. us investment in the uk is at an all—time high, with much of the cash going to into the capital, and many us companies expanding here. some transatlantic business leaders say removing more trade barriers would be a positive step.

the relationship between the us in the uk, london and the us, is incredibly strong already. this is an amazingly vibrant economic relationship. but there's always that can be done. we'd like to see ta riffs that can be done. we'd like to see tariffs go, we'd like to see nontariff barriers reduced, and we'd like to see the regulatory burden more aligned. a five—year—old boy who was sent a formula one car after he inspired lewis hamilton's victory in the spanish grand prix has died. harry shaw from redhill, in surrey, had a rare form of terminal cancer. hamilton described harry as his spirit angel as he dedicated his victory to him in may. residents around a west london park have been warned not to go jogging there after a spike in pollution gave it the worst air quality in london. data from the website air quality england showed levels of toxic air in boston manor park reached 75 micrograms this week, above the limit of 50 recommended by the world health organization. experts are urging more checks to be carried out and say people should avoid exercising there.

let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on most of the central line because of overrunning engineering works. otherwise, it's looking good on the tubes. 0n the trains, southeastern has delays on the bromley north line because of over—running engineering works. 0n the roads, there are lots of closures for president trump's visit around westminster. this is parliament square. whitehall is also closed today. roads around trafalgar square could be closed later this morning because of a planned demonstration. in croydon, stjames's road is closed because of a building fire between sydenham road and lansdowne road. now the weather, with georgina burnett. good morning. well, i hope you've made the most of the sunshine, because there's not going to be too much on offerfor the because there's not going to be too much on offer for the week ahead. for today, when looking at outbreaks of rain, with a little bit of brightness towards the end of the

day, perhaps even some sunshine. but first thing, you mightjust catch a bright or sunny spell. but the cloud quickly and coaches, along with some outbreaks of rain. fairly showery for the most part, but there will be some heavier bursts, particularly as we head into the afternoon, and can't even rule out some thunder as well. temperature—wise, we're getting up to about 20 celsius. just a fairly light wind coming in the south to south—east. now, as we had through this evening, well, much of the cloud in the rain pushes off to the cloud in the rain pushes off to the north and we are left with fairly clear skies for much of the night, and are largely dry one as well. temperature—wise we're getting down to, probably staying in double figures, around ten or 11 celsius. and it's going to be pretty u nsettled and it's going to be pretty unsettled for much of the week, with low pressure in control. but the middle of next week, things are looking up. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to louise and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker.

we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: as andy murray announces he plans to return to competitive tennis in the doubles at queen's club. we'll find out what this could mean for his chances at wimbledon. i could do this all day. ahead of d—day, we've taken our friend tony foulds to visit the graves of three american airmen who were killed when their plane crashed in a park in sheffield 75 years ago. british band bastille will be here ahead of their first performance on the pyramid stage at glastonbury festival later this month. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. after the formalities of a state banquet, it's down to business on the second day of president trump's state visit. last night, the us leader used his address, during the dinner at buckingham palace, to praise the queen's "spirit and dignity" throughout her reign of nearly seven decades.

later this morning, he will meet theresa may, to discuss a range of issues, including brexit, climate change, and chinese mobile network operator, huawei. as we honour our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future — freedom, sovereign tree, self—determination, the rule of law, and reference for the rights given to us by almighty god —— sovereignty. indian authorities are considering how to recover five bodies spotted in the himalayas, close to where a party of eight climbers disappeared on friday. the group, including four people from britain, had been climbing nanda devi, the country's second highest mountain, when it was hit by avalanches. four other climbers, who were also ascending the peak, were rescued on sunday and have since been assisting rescue efforts.

30 years ago, the chinese government sent tanks and soldiers into beijing's tiananmen square to crush a peaceful, pro—democracy student protest. this image of a man blocking tanks shocked the world, but because of the country's censorship, no—one there knows for sure how many people were killed during the demonstrations. there are no official commemorations in mainland china and all references to the violence are censored ahead of the anniversary. lawyers representing borisjohnson are understood to be challenging a court summons which accuses him of misconduct in a public office. the man who brought the private prosecution against mrjohnson, marcus ball, said an application forjudicial review of the case had been lodged. the former foreign secretary is accused of misleading the public during the eu referendum campaign by claiming the uk sent £350 million to brussels each week.

customers will be able to fill up their own containers with products that were previously wrapped, as part of a new trial by one major supermarket. in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, items including pasta, fruit and veg, wine, and washing—up liquid will be available at waitrose without any packaging. the trail will run for 11 weeks, to see if customers are prepared to change how they shop. that is an interesting take. have you ever brought one by the... was, by the gallon? i went to a shop in italy once where you took a bottle and filled it up. many of us have fond memories of our favourite tv scenes from when we were children, but one poignant moment has now been voted the best of them all. some of you may remember, the moment blue peter presenter john noakes' — famed for his stunts — ascended nelson's column in trafalgar square, back in 1977.

it makes me feel a little bit... i am not very good with heights. there was literally no health and safety. they he was, climbing up, no safety harness or anything. this was in 1977. look at that. he has not even got a rope on him. i can't watch it. 0h got a rope on him. i can't watch it. oh my goodness. 0ther moments in the tv years magazine top ten include, viewers being told "everything and everybody has to die" on pipkins, and comedian rik mayall reading roald dahl‘s george's marvellous medicine onjackanory. that is... have you seen the full thing? i have seen the full thing over many yea rs. thing? i have seen the full thing over many years. at the time it seemed, it was fine. looking back you think what on earth were they doing? the potential for death there is quite significant. very high. he is quite significant. very high. he is injeans and normal shoes. no helmet. he had slippery shoes on. it

has given me genuinely sweaty hands. stand on the sofa. this is how things have changed. remember a few months ago we had a tennis ball and a tennis racket in the studio. the tennis ball was taken away from me because they was not allowed to hit it with the racket in the studio case because damage. highly dangerous. what have you got for us? really bad day for england then at the cricket world cup as they're surprisingly beaten by pakistan. what on earth was going on? captain eoin morgan critical of his team's fielding and attitude at trent bridge — as patrick gearey reports. if ever a team was going to shake up this world cup it had to be pakistan. a side that veers from the chaotic to the majestic within days. remember, only last week they lost the 11th game in a row by lunchtime coming out here they were taking it to the well‘s number one ranked side. the aim to put thejohn mcveigh was under pressure and see what happens. jason roy became the

cringing face of england's day in the field. they added another 70 after that. pakistan's most their way to 348. england would need a world cup record run chase to winners. no wonder the captain was practising his batting. not that it did eoin morgan is good here. like most of the top order he went cheaply. the only one to escape was joe reid. he had been dropped on ten and make good on his getaway, manoeuvring himself to the first hundred of the tournament. england are anchored by their roots, so was the reaction all around when pakistan finally unearthed him. they knew they were close, but england had hoped while they had jos buttler. he also scored a century. buttler. he also scored a century. but by now the only number that mattered was pakistan's total, still some way off when he made a crucial mistake. and england will be wondering just how they were caught out by pakistan, a team that remain, predictably unpredictable. patrick geary, bbc news.

frustrated in the fact that we could have done something about it, like a mansion, with a bat you can get bowled out, play against a side that is better than you, have an off day, but when it comes down to the difference of the sides in the field it is even more frustrating. some better news. injanuary, we all thought his career might be over, but now andy murray's confirmed he's making his comeback to competitive tennis. he'll play in the doubles at queen's later this month — just over four months after having an operation to resurface one of his hipjoints. murray says he's not ready to return to singles yet, and doubles is the next step. he also loves the queen's tournament, which he's won five times. at the french open, britain'sjohanna konta will be in quarter—final action against sloanne stephens this afternoon. you can listen to commentary of that one on 5live and the bbc sport website. in the men's draw, there was a little bit of history from novak djokovic. he's the first man to reach a tenth consecutive quarterfinal at roland garros, he did it with a straight sets win over germany's jan—lenna rd struff.

if he wins the tournament, he'll hold all the major titles at the same time for a second time in his career. a good day too for simona halep. the defending champion needed less than 45 minutes to beat the polish teenager iga schviatek. american madison keys is also through to the quarter finals. caster semenya's had a breakthrough in her fight against the governing body of athletics. she's been told that she doesn't have to take medication to reduce her levels of testosterone — for the time being at least. it's after a swiss court temporarily suspended a new ruling by the iaaf. just after we went off our yesterday, tracey neville sprung a surprise on us all when she announced that she'll step down as england's head coach after next month's netball world cup. she's been in the job for five years, leading the team to that brilliant gold medal at last yea r‘s commonwealth games. she says that her desire to start a family is one of her main reasons

for stepping away from the job. tamsin greenway played under neville at the last world cup, and is now one of the favourites to take over. . i think they job . i think theyjob will be one that will always be difficult to turn down at whatever opportunity came along. tracey neville has spoken about family commitments, have a six—year—old and one on their way, so we will see what happens. you never write yourself off when it is a coaching job. there are lots of other things that will be going on in the next few months. i think england has a great opportunity to look at who will be that person to ta ke look at who will be that person to take england on the nextjourney. and finally — ready for a bit of slacklining? not until now. this is the world slackline masters in germany. we have some alarming pictures. there must be some sort of protection. there is a crash mat. no, i'm talking about what is underneath. i should explain what slacklining is — it's basically a tightrope that's not pulled as

tight as it could be. thejudging criteria includes "rotations depending on the axial rotation'", "diversity of the repertoire", and "avoidance of dabs", which is apparently touching the ground. thank you very much. new sport. never seen that before. let us get the weather with carol. good morning. good morning, everyone. what a difference a day makes. it will be fairly cloudy and we have got some rain. persistent and heavy rain at that on their way. some of us already seeing that rain, coming in courtesy of an area of low pressure from the south—west. it is wet across south—west england, wales, northern ireland. the rain continuing to move north—eastward during the day. you can see from the lack of isobars not as windy as yesterday, except for across the far

north of scotland. a lot of dry weather to start with, a fair bit of cloud. some of us will see brightness. there goes the rain heading northwards and eastward through the day. the driest conditions will be across the far north of scotland, including the northern isles. it is in the south south—east we are looking at a fair bit of cloud. there will be some sunshine developing. we are not immune to the showers. some will be heavy and bunbury. you could hear a rumble of thunder coming out of the screen as well. temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 20 in the south. through the evening and overnight the lopressor continues to drift northwards, taking rain with it. centre of the lopressor roughly here —— low pressure. mist and fog patches forming as well, especially where it has been down a day. temperatures falling to between 7—12 in towns and cities. in rural areas you can expect the temperatures to be lower. tomorrow the centre of the lopressor is ensconced in the lows

—— north sea. that is where we are seeing the rain. the weather fronts are dragged towards the north sea across that low pressure. there will be showers around. we will see some sunny skies. there will be a new front across east anglia and kent, introducing some rain. during the course of wednesday and into thursday morning that rain will continue to move up the eastern side of the uk, moving into scotland, some of that rain heavy once again. 0n the other side of it, drier and brighter with a few showers. it is wrapped around an area of low pressure. the centre is here. you can see how the weather fronts brings rain also into northern ireland. temperatures down a touch. thanit ireland. temperatures down a touch. than it is action replay on friday. another area of low pressure comes

up another area of low pressure comes up from the continent, moving across the eastern half of the uk. we are keeping an eye on this one. it is looking more potent at this stage. in essence, as we go through the week, the theme is unsettled. we will see rain and it showers, in between there will be dry and bright spells. temperatures a wee bit disappointing for this stage in june. they are a bit. thank you very much. president donald trump will meet with outgoing prime minister theresa may later today. but while mr trump heads to downing street, thousands of protestors will gather in trafalgar square, before marching through central london. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is due to speak out against mr trump at the protests. we're joined now from westminster by alex kenny, a "stand up to trump" campaigner. thank you very much forjoining us. you arejoining the

thank you very much forjoining us. you are joining the protest, what do you hope to achieve by protesting?” amjoining you hope to achieve by protesting?” am joining the protest today, and what we hope to achieve this to show not just donald trump, what we hope to achieve this to show notjust donald trump, but to show theresa may and all those people in america who are opposed to jump that there is real opposition in this country to the ideas that he stands for and the ideas he puts forward. this is the most powerful person in the world, and through his communications and through his policies, he is legitimising on abortion rights and other rights for women, attacks on the rights for lg bt women, attacks on the rights for lgbt plus women, attacks on the rights for lg bt plus people, women, attacks on the rights for lgbt plus people, disabled people, legitimising racism and islamophobia, and he refuses to acknowledge that climate change exists, that there is climate chaos in this country, and his policies on mexico, central america and other countries in latin america should be of concern to people. so we think that we can't let this kind of visit go unnoticed when he comes here, or not commented on. so people representing different strands today

are coming together, as i say, to show people in america that we do stand in opposition notjust to the person, but to the ideas and the kind of worldview that he wants to put forward. he has tweeted, i think, overnight talking about the relationship with the uk, saying it is very strong. from what you appear to be saying, you object to him, not necessarily the fact that the us president is here. no, we haven't really protested in the past against other us presidents. we did against george bush over the iraqi war, but it is against the ideas that donald trump put forward, and his worldview, which i think is destabilising and polarising the world. i mean, i have spent the last three years working with head teachers and parents to campaign against the devastating cuts in education, and to expose the crisis in education funding. i've worked with colleagues in the nhs to expose the crisis in the nhs. and donald trump is pursuing the same policies

in america, and our colleagues in america in education and health are campaigning against them. so in some ways, today, we are reaching across the atlantic in solidarity with them. so let's talk about the relationship, if we could, between the us and the uk. we know it is talked about as this special relationship, we know it is important in terms of trading, total goods exported, the us is the top trading partner, investment by us companies here in the uk accounts for 8000 jobs. so there are important things at stake here. is it important to you that at least those are talked about? of course, we have to have a relationship with america and we will have a trade relationship with america, but sometimes i think britain is stronger when it says no to america, like we did over vietnam, rather than just like we did over vietnam, rather thanjust going like we did over vietnam, rather than just going on to the whistle of america like we did over the disastrous war in iraq. but when we talk about trade, let's consider the

fa ct talk about trade, let's consider the fact for the minute that the ambassadorfor the fact for the minute that the ambassador for the us said that, fact for the minute that the ambassadorfor the us said that, if we're going to talk about a trade after brexit, and the nhs has to be on the table. they want to privatise the nhs. they want to be part of privatisation of the nhs, and we cannot let that go without comment. we have to oppose that. so trade, yes, relationships, yes. but let's haveit yes, relationships, yes. but let's have it on the basis of sound policies, equality, and what's right for everybody, not just policies, equality, and what's right for everybody, notjust the elite. thank you very much for your time on brexit, and we will be speaking to the international trade secretary about the protest, also about international trade as well. liam fox will be here at 7:50am on brea kfast. fox will be here at 7:50am on breakfast. and we will look at how day one of donald trump's visit has gone down at home. the fate of sir philip green's retail empire will be decided this week, with a crucial vote on a plan to close shops and slash rents. ben is here. good morning to you once again. another big high street

retailer in trouble. this time it's the arcadia group, which includes brands like topshop, burton, dorothy perkins, miss selfridge, run by sir philip green, owned by his wife, once dubbed the king of the high street. that it seems that that halo is fading somewhat. like many retailers, it has fallen victim to changing consumer habits, in this case competition from fast—growing online specialists such as boohoo and asos, as well as cheaper rival primark. so what are the solutions? i mean,

if you knew that... so what are the solutions? i mean, if you knew that. .. if i knew that, i probably wouldn't be doing this! again, like other retailers, it wants to cut costs. those high—street stores are expensive and fewer people are going on and spending money. that means closing around 50 stores and renegotiating rents on around 200, under what is known as a cva, or company voluntary arrangement. so whatever happens, it is likely to meana so whatever happens, it is likely to mean a big change in the high street. without it, it says it could go into administration. it would be a huge loss given the number of stores and the brands that are included. it needs 75% of its creditors, including its landlords, to vote on the plan at a meeting tomorrow. they have been reluctant so far because they would earn less in rent, but the alternative might be none at all, so it is a bit of a catch 22. so what are the chances? essentially creditors are in a very difficult position with very limited

options. the reality is that the property market in the retail sector in the uk is under tremendous pressure, and essentially if they don't accept the cva, then there are very limited options for some of the stores around the uk to be filled or repurposed to make it fit for purpose for them. so big questions about whether that will actually get through, and as if that wasn't difficult enough, there is another big fly in the ointment. arcadia has two legacy pension schemes with nearly 10,000 active members. there is a huge black hole in that pensions fund. the arcadia schemes are over £500 million in deficit. that means they may have to be rescued by the pension protection fund, the lifeboat for pensions, so the ppf by default becomes one of the biggest creditors of arcadia, and therefore will have the casting vote on wednesday.

it would have a big say on whether those stores close or whether it can renegotiate its rent. the crucial vote ta kes renegotiate its rent. the crucial vote takes place tomorrow, big questions about whether that will get through. the pension regulator has made it clear it wants sir philip to stump up more for the pension fund. you will recall it had a falling—out with sir philip a few years ago over the bhs pension fund. he eventually stumped up over £300 million. £500 million as the deficit in the arcadia pension fund at the moment, so big questions about that and big questions about the viability of those stores. you might remember that earlier this year i met an amazing man called tony at my local park in sheffield. for years he has been tending to a war memorial for ten american airmen who died in a b—17 plane crash 75 years ago. his story went viral after being on breakfast, and he managed to get something he had always hoped for — a fly—past to commemorate the men of mi amigo. ahead of d—day, tony has accompanied

the us ambassador to visit three graves for the first time. brea kfast‘s graham satchell can tell us more. the american cemetery in cambridge, and a service to remember all those who died in the second world war.‘ yea rs who died in the second world war.‘ years ago, the world held its breath. alongside the american ambassador and military personnel, guest of honour tony folds. the service ends with a special fly past, a mustang, and a b—17,. service ends with a special fly past, a mustang, and a b-17,. all of us, this b—17 came over, and of course, i burst into tears, like i do when i see it. tony wasjust a

schoolboy playing in a park in sheffield 75 years ago when he saw a badly damaged b—17, the mi amigo, overhead. the pilot waved, trying to clear the area, but tony didn't understand, and waved back. moments later, the pilot brought the plane down in the trees. the first thing they do, of course, as i always kiss them first. tony has been attending a memorial to the crew of the mi amigo for decades. he counts them as family, blames himself for their deaths. three of the mm are buried at the cemetery in cambridge —— airmen. tony is visiting the graves for the first time with the american ambassador. as soon as you get there, it hit me straightaway, just as if they were there. it is

unbelievable, unbelievable to see them. i could stay. it wouldn't bother me if i sat down on the grass and stayed here all night. hello, how are you doing? oh, grand. 0h, hello, how are you doing? oh, grand. oh, what hello, how are you doing? oh, grand. 0h, whata hello, how are you doing? oh, grand. oh, what a plane. a special treat, the sally b is the only b—17 still flying in europe, kept operational by charitable donations. the crew have kindly agreed to take tony for a spin along the runway. # wish me luck as you waive me goodbye. # cheerio, here i go on my way.

luck as you waive me goodbye. # cheerio, here i go on my waym we re cheerio, here i go on my waym were meant to be, this. meant to be. # with a chair, not a tear... it's ha rd # with a chair, not a tear... it's hard to put into words. it's so... the feeling, to know that my lads we re the feeling, to know that my lads were ina the feeling, to know that my lads were in a plan like this. # wish me luck as you waive me goodbye... oh, what a beautiful thing. have you seen him since? yes, he is a top lad, isn't he? tomorrow is the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, and we would love to hear your stories of how your family was involved. you can get in touch via e—mail or tweet @bbcbreakfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. president trump will meet business leaders in london this morning, on the second day of his state visit. us investment in the uk is at an all—time high, with much of the cash going to into the capital, and many us companies expanding here. transatlantic business leaders say removing more trade barriers would be a positive step. the relationship between the us in the uk, london and the us, is incredibly strong already. this is an amazingly vibrant economic relationship. but there's always that can be done. we'd like to see tariffs go, we'd like to see non—tariff barriers reduced, and we'd like to see the regulatory burden more aligned. special heart patches grown by scientists in london could save the lives of thousands of people who have had heart attacks.

the lab—grown cells are sewn onto the heart and are programmed to turn into a working muscle that beats. it has been developed by the british heart foundation's centre of regenerative medicine in london. trials in humans will start over the next two years. now, a photo of the south london grime artist stormzy will be on show in his hometown of croydon, after a loan from the national portrait gallery. the image of the musician and his mother will be displayed at the central croydon library until the end of september. it is part of the national portrait gallery's coming home scheme, which will see 50 works displayed across the uk. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the central line. otherwise it's looking good on the tubes. 0n the trains, southeastern has delays on the bromley north line because of overrunning

engineering works. 0n the roads, there are lots of closures for president trump's visit around westminster. this is parliament square. whitehall is also closed today. roads around trafalgar square could be shut later this morning because of a planned demonstration. in croydon, stjames's road is closed because of a building fire between sydenham road and lansdowne road. now the weather, with georgina burnett. good morning. well, i hope you've made the most of the sunshine, because there's not going to be too much on offer for the week ahead. for today, we're looking at outbreaks of rain, with a little bit of brightness towards the end of the day, perhaps even some sunshine, but first thing, you mightjust catch a bright or sunny spell. but the cloud quickly encroaches, along with some outbreaks of rain. fairly showery for the most part, but there will be some heavier bursts, particularly as we head into the afternoon, and can't even rule out some thunder, as well. temperature—wise, we're getting up to about 20 degrees celsius. just a fairly light wind coming from the south to south—east. now, as we head through this evening, well, much of the cloud and the rain pushes off to the north, and we're left

with fairly clear skies for much of the night, and a largely dry one too. temperature—wise, we're getting down to — probably staying in double figures, around ten or 11 celsius. and it's going to be pretty unsettled for much of the week, with low pressure in control, but by the middle of next week, things are looking up. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to louise and dan. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: the queen and president trump toast the ‘eternal friendship' between britain and america — in the week of the 75th anniversary of the d day landings. tonight we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for decades. as we honour our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future.

after the pomp, today it's about politics but protests are expected. in the himalayas, rescue teams consider how to recover the bodies of five climbers, eight are feared dead. talking trade with trump. what could business between the uk and the us look like after brexit? and who really stands to gain? england wobble at the cricket world cup. the pre—tournament favourites have a nightmare in the field as they lose to pakistan at trent bridge. good morning. red sky in the morning, shepherds wanting. perhaps we are looking at heavy and persistent rain from the south—west, heading towards the north—east. ahead of that, in scotland, a few showers. behind it in the south—east of england, a few showers, there could be heavy and bunbury. i will have more in 15 minutes. ——

thundery. good morning. it's tuesday, 4thjune. our top story: after the formalities of a state banquet, it's down to business on the second day of president trump's state visit. last night, the us leader used his address during the dinner at buckingham palace to praise the queen's "spirit and dignity" throughout her reign of nearly seven decades. later this morning, he will meet theresa may, to discuss a range of issues, including some they don't see eye to eye on, as our political correspondent, iain watson, reports. last night, pomp and ceremony at the state banquet. mr president, i am delighted to welcome you and mrs trump. and a celebration of the close link between the uk and the us. on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long cherished and truly remarkable reign of her majesty, the queen.

critics of the president, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn and the lib dem leader sir vince cable didn't turn up. and there are some underlying tensions even among close allies. today the prime minister and president will exchange gifts. they will also exchange views on issues where they don't see eye to eye. the prime minister's likely to be critical of the us administration on climate change. there are differences on how to handle iran's nuclear ambitions and tensions over the chinese tech firm, huawei. the president doesn't want america's allies to give contracts to a firm he thinks is too close to the chinese government. but the prime minister hasn't ruled out doing business with them entirely. theresa may will have opportunities to chat on a 1—to—1 basis with donald trump today. but their main meeting will also be attended by other

ministers and advisers. with theresa may's time at number 10 is coming to an end soon, the us administration may well want to take an overview of the candidates that are vying to replace her. iain watson, bbc news. let's take a look at the president's agenda for today. at ten o'clock this morning, he'll attend a breakfast meeting with theresa may and business leaders from the uk and america. he'll then head over to downing street, but there's no private meeting between the two leaders, as senior ministers and officials will be there too. this evening, the trumps will host dinner at the us ambassador's residence, where the guests will include the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. in a minute we'll speak to our world affairs correspondent richard galpin who's outside the us ambassador's residence where president trump is staying. first, let's go to our political correspondentjessica parker who's in westminster. good morning to you, jessica. it feels already like a very different

day today, doesn't it? yes. i think if yesterday was all about the pageantry today is all about the politics. you couldn't really imagine two more different political leaders. you have president trump disruptor, the impromptu tweeter, as we saw yesterday stop then you have theresa may his greatest misdemeanour, famously, was running through a field of wheat. while they have rather different political styles, as we were just hearing, they have some different political views as well. all eyes will be on that press conference they are due to hold later on today. for downing street, something of a cloud hanging over these talks threatening to dampen their significance. theresa may has days left in the job as tory leader, weeks left in a job as prime minister. meanwhile, significant protests expected across the country, not least of all in london. labour leaderjeremy corbyn said to address one of those rallies. 0f course, he boycotted last night's state banquet, assign perhaps you

cannot quite separate out the politics from the pageantry. good to talk to you. thank you. pictures of the president and the queen make pretty much all of the front pages of the papers. front page of the daily mirror, the daily mail, of the guardian. richard galpin, looking at those front pages, those pictures, is the president getting out of this trip what he wanted so far? i think so. absolutely. us officials absolutely delighted with how this visit has so far. mr trump himself has been tweeting after that banquet last night at buckingham palace, saying it "it has been going really well. the royal family are fa ntastic". well. the royal family are fantastic". he well. the royal family are fa ntastic". he is well. the royal family are fantastic". he is focusing now on saying a trade deal as possible with the uk once the uk has, as he put

it, thrown off the shackles of post—brexit. he is turning to the kind of substantive issues which are going to be discussed today at the crucial meeting with the prime minister and the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, later today. minister and the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, latertoday. into minister and the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, later today. into the mix, asjessica jeremy hunt, later today. into the mix, as jessica was jeremy hunt, later today. into the mix, asjessica was saying, there will be protests today, we don't know how big they will be. the organisers are saying they could be very big here in london and other protests in other parts of the country as well. ok, richard, thank you very much. later in the programme, we'll speak to international trade secretary dr liam fox, who was at the banquet last night. that's at ten minutes to eight. he was sitting next to ivanka trump. we may get insight into what the conversation was. indian authorities are considering how to recover five bodies spotted in the himalayas, close to where a party of eight climbers disappeared on friday. the group, including four people from britain, had been climbing nanda devi, the country's second highest mountain, when it was hit by avalanches. four other climbers, who were also ascending the peak, were rescued on sunday and have

since been assisting rescue efforts. there will be no official commemorations in mainland china today, on the 30th anniversary of protests in beijing's tiananmen square. 0ur china correspondent robin brant is in beijing for us this morning. what do we know about what happened in 1989? good morning she once again. still no acknowledgement about what happened years ago. what to expect to happen today? very little here on the mainland. from what i have seen, deanna square, about two kilometres down that way, security fairly normalfor down that way, security fairly normal for the flag raising down that way, security fairly normalfor the flag raising ceremony which takes place every morning at that location —— tiananmen square. we have had from the global times, adding less language newspaper, state—run media, an editorial in the last 24 hours when they have referred to the events of exactly 30 yea rs referred to the events of exactly 30 years ago today as "a vaccination, a

move to send the army in after five weeks of protests that immunised china against future turmoil". that is what the newspaper said. the country is different to what it was 30 years ago. it is far richer, fewer people living in poverty. a more open country. nonetheless, the mood for political reform died 30 yea rs mood for political reform died 30 years ago today. 30 years ago there we re years ago today. 30 years ago there were tanks down that road. now it is commuter traffic and there is a propaganda slogan in the middle of the carriageway exhorting drivers who go by to help build a beautiful, democratic china. very different from the democracy in visits by the protesters three decades ago. good to talk to you. thank you very much. lawyers representing borisjohnson are understood to be challenging a court summons which accuses him of misconduct in a public office. the man who brought the private prosecution against mrjohnson, marcus ball, said an application forjudicial review of the case

had been lodged. the former foreign secretary is accused of misleading the public during the eu referendum campaign by claiming the uk sent £350 million to brussels each week. supermarket customers will be able to fill up their own containers with products that were previously wrapped, as part of a new trial by one major supermarket. in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, products including pasta, wine and washing—up liquid will be available at waitrose without any packaging. our business correspondent emma simpson has more. we have all become used to taking our own bags to do our own grocery shopping. but what about taking your own plastic containers, as well? in the corner of the supermarket, there is a refill station. you can pack your own food, from lentils and pasta to frozen fruit. no box? then borrow one, or use an environmentally friendly bag.

some of these things, if they were rolled out across all shops and all customers, it would have — it would save thousands of tons of plastic in packaging, and would completely change the way we shop. is this commercially viable? that is what we need to find out through this test. buy their reusable bottles and you can do wine and beer, too, and lots of loose fruit and vegetables. plenty of independent shops offer food unwrapped, but no supermarket has tried anything as varied as this. it's nice being able to weigh the amount. it's just more flexible, and it looks better. i think it's high time there was less plastic and more — just going back to europe. i'm not sure it's enough, but it's a good start. it is kind of what you hear about prewar. i'm not sure it is enough, but it is a good start. waitrose says this is a genuine test to find out if shoppers really

have an appetite for change. emma simpson, bbc news, 0xford. let us take you back to one of our main stories. rescue teams searching for eight climbers, including four britons, who went missing in the indian himalayas say they believe that all have lost their lives. they were climbing on nanda devi, the country's second highest peak, when they disappeared after an avalanche on friday. the family of one of those missing say the climbers were attempting to scale an uncharted and unnamed summit. rescuers have spotted five bodies lying in the snow, near nanda devi east peak. four other climbers who were part of the group were rescued on sunday and have been assisting rescue efforts. alan hinkes is an experienced mountaineer and joins us now. a very good morning to you. i know the leader was a friend of yours, martin moran. this is a bit close to home, martin was an inspiration.

virtually every hill walking, climbing in britain would have heard of him. he was the guru. he had written books on scotland in winter. he was a lovely bloke. a very unassuming and modest bloke. modest chap. 0ne unassuming and modest bloke. modest chap. one of the most experienced mountain guides. he was a more experienced mountain guide than me. i worked for martin, eye worked with him. it is hard to get my head around it, to be honest, it really is don pyke tell us a little bit about this bea ke, is don pyke tell us a little bit about this beake, nanda devi, is it renowned for being dangerous? according to one of the family members they were trying to get to an uncharted peak that had not been reached before. they were trying to doa virgin reached before. they were trying to do a virgin peak. a bit lower than the mean peak. not that dangerous. martin was very meticulous as a leader. everything would have been sorted. subjectively, don't think anyone would have made a mistake.

but there is these objective dangers, avalanches. people keep asking me if nanda devi is particularly dangerous, not particularly, but any mountain can be dangerous at any time. martin would not have taken them onto a particularly dangerous mountain. we know some of the claimant did not go ahead with them. is that normal in a group that you might speed up for different reasons? the other four we re different reasons? the other four were on nanda devi doing all sorts of planning and preparation, thing up of planning and preparation, thing up ropes and camps on the other mountain. there were eight of them, including the indian liaison officer, going round to do this unclaimed pig. it is great to do an un— clamping. sometimes they will even let you name one. a name to enough my daughter once. it is hard to get my head a people going. how difficult would be conditions have been close yellow how treacherous was it in terms of the whether they would have been facing? it was probably reasonable weather when

they set off. it still would have been subzero. now the monsoon is coming in, that is heavy rain in india, then on the mountain is a loss of weather and whatever. that is hindering the helicopters. luckily below 6500 metres the helicopters can search. but i don't think they can lay very easily at the moment. you have survived, haven't you, sometime in those kind of conditions. that's unusual, to yes, people ask me about my incident in the himalayas, just a team of four, and we were left for damp on the mountain. and we appeared later on. we struggled through a storm, we we re on. we struggled through a storm, we were trapped on the mountain, we did appear ten days later. but this is slightly different. the helicopters have spotted the avalanche debris, essentially, yes. iam have spotted the avalanche debris, essentially, yes. i am not holding out any hope for three of them, but it would be fantastic if three

appeared. 0bviously it would be fantastic if three appeared. obviously very tragic for the five that have been confirmed. you talked about how well you knew martin and how meticulous he was. how do you and he and others who do thatjob manage the risk? you know what can happen, potentially things that are outside your control, and yet i would imagine that you would go back to probably the same peak and try and claim it another time, if you were to do that, wouldn't you? yes, i would, if you were to do that, wouldn't you? yes, iwould, and if you were to do that, wouldn't you? yes, i would, and very hard to justify why we climb when there is an incident like this. i have said before, none of us claim today, we claim to live. climbing enhances our lives, and there is cognitive distance, because of the dangers. we accept that risk for some reason. i don't wish to denigrate golf and tennis but i have been using that as an example, but perhaps we would be golfers and tennis players if we

didn't accept that risk. you don't get avalanche is playing golf or tennis, yes. we are sorry to talk to you under the circumstances, but good to talk to you. my heart goes out to them, they were inspirations, andi out to them, they were inspirations, and i am sure to a lot of other people. and the weather is up and down, isn't it, carol? the weather for the next few days, even into next week, is remaining unsettled. now, for many of us it is dry at the moment, before the rain arrives, as you can see from this beautiful weather watch as picture. some blue skies here, but rain is coming your way later. for most of us it is going to be cloudier, with rain already in the south—west, through wales, heading across northern england, continuing its journey courtesy of this low pressure moving north—eastward. not much in the way of isobars, so not particularly windy, except across the far north of scotland. a lot of dry weather,

especially the further east you are this morning. the rain continuing to journey north—eastward this morning. the rain continuing to journey north—eastwa rd through this morning. the rain continuing to journey north—eastward through the course of the day. ahead of it, there will be some showers in scotland, which could also be heavy, but here in the north we are likely to have the driest conditions. whereas in the south—east, again there will be quite a bit of dry weather, but we are not immune to some heavy and potentially thundery showers. in fact, some heavy and potentially thundery showers. infact, in some heavy and potentially thundery showers. in fact, in this band of rain, you could also hear the odd rumble of thunder. temperature—wise, 11 in lerwick to 20 as we pushed down towards london. through the evening and overnight, the low pressure bearing that rain continues to push the rain across scotland, curling around into northern ireland and having another flick at wales and having another flick at wales and north—west england for a time. i had of that, or behind it, we are looking at some clear skies. there will be some patchy mist and fog forming, particularly so where it has been wet by day. but not an especially cold night. tomorrow we start off with that rain across scotland, and also northern ireland,

you can see the caliphate coming in across northern wales and north—west england for a time. move away from that area, we are looking at the rest of england and wales some sunny skies, some bright spells, and also some showers. but later, there is the chance this system here just waiting on the winds could bring some rain in towards east anglia and kent. the timing and the position of that still open to a bit of question, but what we think is it will be through the evening and overnight, and by the time we get to thursday, here it is, moving across eastern england and becoming ensconced for a time across scotland, curling in towards northern ireland. behind it, for england and for wales, we're looking at sunshine and showers, but once again some of those showers could be heavy and thundery, and temperatures just down a notch or two, between 11 and 18. for friday, this area of low pressure, and it's another new one, looks a bit more potent as it comes from the near continent, sweeping up the eastern half of the uk,

something we are keeping a close watch on. it might lead to some localised flooding. so as we head onto the next few days, even into first half of next week, the weather remains unsettled. rain or showers at times, but equally there will be some dry weather, and there will also be some sunshine. and some of us do still need some of that rain. thank you very much. it caught up, they are. i was a little bit confused. it is not unusual.” they are. i was a little bit confused. it is not unusual. i would say you are never in a state of confusion. not about carole, though. specialist first aid kits are being displayed in more than 50 bars and clubs in birmingham from today in an attempt to reduce the number of deaths from knife crime. the kits contain essential items to stop the flow of blood from knife wounds. other cities, including nottingham and liverpool, are also introducing similar equipment after a number of recent attacks, as kathryn stanczyszyn reports.

it is hoped this little bag will save lives. birmingham says it has become the first bleed—control city, as this specialist first aid kit is rolled out at venues across the centre. they will bear the name and the face of the person that inspired them. oh, it was a terrible time. it still is, it still is. that was two years ago, nearly, and it's still like it was yesterday. 26—year—old daniel baird was stabbed to death on a night out in a birmingham pub. for the last 14 months his mother, lynne, has tirelessly campaigned for the rollout of these kits, which she believes could have prevented their heartache. i think he could still be with us, i really do. because he wasn't aware that he'd even been stabbed, i don't think. and these kinds of injuries, they're — they're just awful, because you don't actually realise what's happened, and you can be bleeding out. and if no—one's there that knows

what to do, that's it. now, lynne's idea has become a reality. a tourniquet — the idea of a tourniquet is... bars like the loft are being given specific training on how to use the kits to prevent what is called a catastrophic bleed. on average, it takes an ambulance seven minutes to arrive. blood loss can be fatal in as little as three or four minutes. the home office says police forces should fund pilots like this. lynne hopes the little red bags will become daniel's legacy. we are joined now by west midlands deputy police and crime commissioner ashley bertie. thank you so much for coming on the programme. it is hard because it looks like a great scheme, it is so sad that it is needed. it is sad, but unfortunately there has been a rise in violent crime in the west midlands and across the country and these kits are pivotal towards saving lives. 0n these kits are pivotal towards saving lives. on average it takes

seven minutes for an ambulance to reach a patient, but where there are catastrophic bleeds, the first three or five minutes can catastrophic bleeds, the first three orfive minutes can be catastrophic bleeds, the first three or five minutes can be fatal. catastrophic bleeds, the first three orfive minutes can be fatal. in these kits ultimately save lives. orfive minutes can be fatal. in these kits ultimately save livesm sounds like a silly question, but are they easy for people to use? they are very easy for people to use. they come with instruction cards and the ambulance service to instruct people on how to use them. people want to be sure that we do everything we possibly can to save their lives in the event of a knife or gun wound, and these kits go a long way towards doing exactly that. what about the causes? why do you think there has been a spike in knife crime, especially in the west midlands, in the last few years? well, i do think the cuts to the policing service in the last ten yea rs have proven policing service in the last ten years have proven critical towards this. just over 2000 police officers, so the ability of police officers, so the ability of police officers to do proactive policing to tackle the root causes have been compromised. so that has gone on awful long way towards the reasons why we are seeing this in the country now. you talk about police,

but what about from the communities as well, and trying to change people's minds about whether or not... for example, they even carry a knife? well, we have to work with communities, that is vital. he said jamieson and i set up a commission to work with local communities and tackle the root causes of violent crime. in that time, we have had community workers to go into these areas where they take place, and to doa areas where they take place, and to do a lot of proactive work. there is plenty more we can do, and that is where these control kits come in. so explain what you do with a&e departments. how does that work? well, we when we have had a gunshot or knife wounds, at that teachable moment, youth workers will work with them, find out why they are there and do everything they possibly can to steer them off that path and get them back. do you have evidence it is working? it is working, we have rolled it out in birmingham,

coventry and the west midlands. these are pivotal preventative measures to protect young people and to make sure they don't get involved in knife and gun crime. good to talk to you, thank you very much. earlier we were chatting about the documentary series up, which has followed the lives of a group of people every seven years since they were the age of seven. we showed you these photos and asked you to guess who you think they are. now it's time for the big reveal. some of you i think have got it right. shall we do the big reveal? there you are. you told me that one of those was you... that is me on the left with a very distinctive necklace, i think you could say. i think that is ben. and then steph, right at the start she was rocking a

good hat, this is the future of her high visit jacket. at a jaunty angle, classy even at a young age, steph. what is that disgruntled face you are rocking? no, it isjust what do you think is going on? we will see dan's particularly lovely haircut ina see dan's particularly lovely haircut in a minute. 0h see dan's particularly lovely haircut in a minute. oh no, i have given away a clue, haven't i? children of a certain age will know that when your mum cuts your hair you can't help yourself from having a slightly odd fringe. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. president trump will meet business leaders in london this morning, on the second day of his state visit. us investment in the uk is at an all—time high, with much of the cash going to into the capital, and many us companies expanding here. transatlantic business leaders say removing more trade barriers would be a positive step.

the relationship between the us and the uk, london and the us, is incredibly strong already. this is an amazingly vibrant economic relationship. but there's always that can be done. we'd like to see tariffs go, we'd like to see non—tariff barriers reduced, and we'd like to see the regulatory burden more aligned. a five—year—old boy who was sent a formula one car after he inspired lewis hamilton's victory in the spanish grand prix has died. harry shaw from redhill, in surrey, had a rare form of terminal cancer. lewis hamilton described harry as his spirit angel as he dedicated his victory to him in may. residents around a west london park have been warned not to go jogging there after a spike in pollution gave it the worst air quality in london. data from the website air quality england showed levels of toxic air in boston manor park far exceeded world health 0rganization limits. experts want more checks to be

carried out, and say people should avoid exercising there. now, a photo of the south london grime artist stormzy will be on show in his hometown after a loan from the national portrait gallery. the image of the musician and his mother will be displayed at the central croydon library until the end of september. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's looking good on the tubes. turning to the roads, there are lots of closures for president trump's visit around westminster. this is parliament square. whitehall is also shut today and roads around trafalgar square will also be affected by a planned demonstration later. now the weather, with georgina burnett. good morning. well, i hope you've made the most of the sunshine, because there's not going to be too much on offer for the week ahead. for today, we're looking at outbreaks of rain, with a little bit of brightness towards the end of the day, perhaps even some sunshine. but first thing, you mightjust catch a bright or sunny spell. but the cloud quickly encroaches, along with some outbreaks of rain.

fairly showery for the most part, but there will be some heavier bursts, particularly as we head into the afternoon, and can't even rule out some thunder, as well. temperature—wise, we're getting up to about 20 degrees celsius. just a fairly light wind coming from the south to south—east. now, as we head through this evening, well, much of the cloud and the rain pushes off to the north, and we're left with fairly clear skies for much of the night, and a largely dry one too. temperature—wise, we're getting down to — probably staying in double figures, around ten or 11 degrees celsius. and it's going to be pretty unsettled for much of the week, with low pressure in control, but by the middle of next week, things are looking up. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to louise and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker.

here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. after the formalities of a state banquet, it's down to business on the second day of president trump's state visit. last night, the us leader used his address, during the dinner at buckingham palace, to praise the queen's "spirit and dignity" throughout her reign of nearly seven decades. later this morning, he will meet theresa may, to discuss a range of issues, including brexit, climate change and chinese mobile network operator, huawei. indian authorities are considering how to recover five bodies spotted in the himalayas, close to where a party of eight climbers disappeared on friday. the group, including four people from britain, had been climbing nanda devi, the country's second highest mountain, when it was hit by avalanches. four other climbers, who were also ascending the peak, were rescued on sunday and have since been assisting rescue efforts. there will be no official commemorations in mainland china today, on the 30th anniversary of protests in beijing's tiananmen square.

this image of a man blocking tanks shocked the world, when the chinese government sent tanks and soldiers to crush a peaceful, pro—democracy student protest. due to censorship in the country, no—one there knows for sure how many people were killed during the demonstrations. lawyers representing borisjohnson are understood to be challenging a court summons which accuses him of misconduct in a public office. the man who brought the private prosecution against mrjohnson, marcus ball, said an application forjudicial review of the case had been lodged. the former foreign secretary is accused of misleading the public during the eu referendum campaign by claiming the uk sent £350 million to brussels each week. customers will be able to fill up their own containers with products that were previously wrapped, as part of a new trial by one major supermarket. in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, items including pasta, fruit and veg, wine, and washing—up liquid will be

available at waitrose without any packaging. the trail will run for 11 weeks, to see if customers are prepared to change how they shop. the only thing is you have to have the only thing is you have to have the containers in order to put them in. iam the containers in order to put them in. i am going to try it. why not. that mango looks very interesting. coming up on the programme, carol will have the weather but first it's time for the sport with sally. looking ahead but also back at the world cup. not the best day for england. they had a bit of a wobble. maybe that is what they needed. kick up the bum. you said it, not me. really bad day for england then at the cricket world cup as they were surprisingly beaten by pakistan. captain eoin morgan critical of his team's fielding and attitude at trent bridge. this summed their day up. a dropped catch from jason roy one of many fielding errors made by england. joe root and jos buttler both got

centuries to give them a chance of what would have been a brilliant run chase. but they fell 14 runs short of pakistan, who'd lost 11 in a row going into this one. frustrated in the fact that we could have done something about it, like i mentioned, with a bat you can get bowled out, play against a side that's better than you, have an off day, but when it comes down to the difference of the sides in the field it's even more frustrating. tracey neville sprung a surprise on us all yesterday when she announced that she'll step down as england's head coach after next month's netball world cup. she's been in thejob for five years, leading the team to that brilliant gold medal at last yea r‘s commonwealth games. she says that her desire to start a family is one of her main reasons for stepping away from the job. caster semenya's had a breakthrough in her fight against the governing body of athletics. she's been told that she doesn't have to take medication to reduce her levels of testosterone — for the time being at least. it's after a swiss court temporarily suspended a new ruling by the iaaf.

injanuary, we all thought his career might be over — but now andy murray's confirmed he's making his comeback to competitive tennis. he'll play in the doubles at queen's later this month — just over four months after having an operation to resurface one of his hipjoints. murray says he's not ready to return to singles yet, and doubles is the next step. he also loves the queen's tournament — which he's won five times. let's say good morning to david law who's part of the 5 live tennis commentary team, he's also the media director at queen's. good morning to you, david. this must have been the news you had been hoping for. it has been building, it has felt for the last few months, ever since andy murray had that surgery after that incredible match at the australian open, when he was in sucha at the australian open, when he was in such a bad way. we all thought, frankly, his career was at an end. and probably he thought it was too.

and probably he thought it was too. and he was hoping to get on sign of much of queens and then wimbledon and then he opted to have this surgery. it has left him pain—free, which they think is absolutely key for him. it has changed his life. he now feels, having seen bob bryan, the great american doubles player, come back from a similar surgery, he thinks he can do the same. he has built up, he has been practising on grass recently, it is early for singles, but he is ready for double. what could this potentially mental wimbledon which, of course, is only next month. listening to what he was saying yesterday, i think singles is not going to happen. it sounds very unlikely. not ready for that yet. but doubles, he will be playing in queens because he feels ready for that. he willjoin forces with feliciano lopez there. wimbledon is a couple of weeks afterwards. he would have to play best—of—5 sets in doubles if he were to play

wimbledon. it is a longer period than the best of three sets it is at queens. but this is a natural step. he has not said whether he will play it yet. he may well do. is he, a hate to say, is his lightly pushing it here? it is not long since he had the surgery, it was fairly major surgery, lots of people who have a similar type of operation are happy to crack on with life and have no pain. he is being incredibly ambitious, is he? that is the main thing he wanted out of this as well, to be pain—free. he said he could not walk his dog without being in pain. remember trying to interview him at the australian open and he could barely get on a still. this has been life changing surgery for him. it is hip resurfacing, the insertion of a metal socket where his hip goes. it has been life changing for him. in terms of the come back, i think it is pushing it. it is unprecedented. never has ever done this before in singles, but he has bob bryan as an example of

someone who did it in the last year. i think that has changed his view completely. he has seen someone come back and one two titles with his brother and thought why can't i do that. i think he is taking a sensible step by playing doubles first, at queens, maybe he will play wimbledon doubles as well. then he can build it up. relatively speaking, in the game these days he is not an old man. he is 32 years of age. roger federer is 37,38 is not an old man. he is 32 years of age. roger federer is 37, 38 in august. the rest of the body is fit, it is just whether this hip can stand up to what he needs to put it through. we will see. the signs are good. david law, thanks for talking to you. optimism! he is up against better as well. a spring chicken. choose wisely, that is what roger federer has always done. let's take a look at today's papers.

there's only one story dominating the papers this morning — the us president donald trump's three—day state visit to the uk is splashed across the front pages. "star spangled banquet" is the metro's take after the queen hosted the us president and first lady melania trump at buckingham palace last night. the times leads on the political angle of the president's visit — it reports that theresa may is set to take a "tough line" with the president over chinese company huawei. "pomp and protest" says the daily mirror, which looks ahead to the demonstration expected against mr trump later today. it claims 250,000 protesters could take to the streets. asjeremy corbyn looks set to speak at anti—trump demonstrations today, the independent leads with calls from labour mps for their leader to stop this style of "protest politics". the paper also features a picture of the interesting handshake that the queen and us president shared upon his arrival to buckingham palace yesterday. almost like a fist bump type thing. i'm not sure that is exactly in line

with protocol. president trump is having a breakfast meeting with business leaders this morning. ben has more. he is having his guests prepared for him. we'll go through in a moment. can you tell us what is happening over there? no. apparently not. there he is. we were too busy talking politics and trade in everything. good morning to you. quite clearly there isa morning to you. quite clearly there is a loss on the agenda right now as far as the politics is concerned. what about the trade relationship between the united states and the uk, what could it mean? president trump isa uk, what could it mean? president trump is a pretty canny businessmen. he knows the uk and the us up pretty important trading partners. what is at stake? we have the chief executive at international marketing partners, works with businesses on both sides of the atlantic. good morning, nice to see you. thanks for squeezing investor quietly. let us talk about the trade relationship between the two. there is a lot of stea k between the two. there is a lot of steak right now. we'll come onto the

brexit related issues in a moment. talk us through the trade relationship. it is critically important that our two countries remain partners across the board. you know, this country is phenomenal in its intellectual property exports, professional services, the arts, film, tv, for example, incredibly important. social with that at risk would not make a of sense. certainly, on the us side, as we have seen, threats for tariffs, the relationship with mexico is now changing, the relationship with china and the us is changing. so i think the fear that your view obviously have is could we be subject to random act ‘s of, you know, tariffs? the key thing therefore is businesses need to just carry on in this country with the us growth and assume that whatever

happens happens. you cannot wait for clarity. you may never get it. so they just need to clarity. you may never get it. so theyjust need to continue being successful and understanding how it works in america. that is a long established relationship. there is the brexit impact. this one thing negotiating with the eu as a block, another with uk on its own. while it might more freedom, it means the balance of power shifts. rather than negotiating with a block of 28, it is with one. i would think that shifts the balance in favour of the united states. it would. the size of the uk economy compared to being in a bigger block of 27, 28 member states is a significantly different proposition. therefore the us will look at where are we making money, where are we getting the biggest bang for our buck in terms of trade,

and, you know, the block is a bigger economic area, which presents much greater value for the us economy than, perhaps, the uk. however, this country is strategically important for the united states. defence, intelligence services. i wouldn't wa nt to intelligence services. i wouldn't want to underestimate the importance the us places on this place, the uk. we might say that that would be applicable to china, too, china is such a huge economy company while's second—largest economy, as an ally of the artist days, you would think would be good, but that has not protected their messiah straight is concerned. when we get to a position where president trump is welcoming and suggesting that the uk should leave the european union and as soon as it does he has all the power? we are not as it does he has all the power? we a re not really as it does he has all the power? we are not really sure what could happen. that is the volatility in

the system that, unfortunately, british companies need to plan around. as we mentioned a moment ago, they cannot sit and wait. they have to continue working on the basis that, you know, the us market is fantastically significant for them and if they understand the mindset they will do well there, regardless of what happens on the political side of things. and, yes, in terms of a trade agreement, will the uk get special status because of the uk get special status because of the special or essential relationship, as 0bama called it, remains to be seen. i think we have to assume it will, because of our history is. i think it is so fascinating, isn't it? thank you so much. allyson stewart—allen there. let us wait and see how all of this plays out. clearly a lot at stake, as you heard. what happens next is anyone's guess, think it's fair to

we will ask about that to liam fox ‘s who is on the programme shortly. right now, it is time to get the weather with carol. there's lots happening over the next few days. u nsettled happening over the next few days. unsettled probably sums it up quite nicely right the way through into the first half of next week. today is no exception, cloudier than yesterday and rain spreading north courtesy of this area of low pressure and its attendant fronts. it is already producing rain in the southwest, wales, parts of south—west england, fringing into northern ireland and will continue to move north—eastward through the rest of the day. the further east you are, the drier and brighter the start. it won't necessarily last because as the rain advances north—eastward, ahead because as the rain advances north—eastwa rd, ahead of because as the rain advances north—eastward, ahead of it there will be some heavy showers in scotland. the driest weather will be across the far north of scotland, and here as well it will be quite windy for a time. in the south—east we are not immune to a shower but generally speaking conditions will bea

generally speaking conditions will be a lot drier here as well. temperature—wise, 11 in the north, highs of 20 as we push down further south. into the evening and overnight, this area of low pressure and the front reducing that rain continue to move north—eastward is, taking the rain through northern england, into scotland and also northern ireland. we have a bit of a curl going on, so don't be surprised if you see some showers across parts of north wales. for the rest of england, drier, and where it has been damped and under clear skies, we could well by night see some mist and fog patches forming. temperature—wise we are in pretty good shape, 7—12, not too cold although temperatures will be a little bit lower than this in rural areas. into tomorrow, and our rain is still very much with us. low pressure is still the driving force of our weather. still some rain at times across scotland, northern ireland, heading into parts of north wales and the odd shower in north—west england. but for the rest of the uk, largely dry. a bit more sunshine around. later in the day,

something we are keeping an eye on isa something we are keeping an eye on is a weather front in the near continent. it looks like it could come our way, bringing some rain into east anglia and kent, and if it does that, by the time we get to thursday, it will be continuing its journey, moving northwards across eastern england into scotland and curling around into northern ireland. behind it, a lot of dry weather, sunshine, and a few showers across wales and southern england. temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 18 in the south. we were saying earlier, it is kind of unseasonal, isn't it? and unsettled, very unsettled as we go through the next few days, even as far as the middle of next week. at the moment it looks like high pressure will try to exert its influence, but that is a long way away and that could still change. you might remember that earlier this year i met an amazing man called tony at my local park in sheffield. for years he has been tending to a war memorial for ten american

airmen who died in a b—17 plane crash 75 years ago. his story went viral after being on breakfast, and he managed to get something he had always hoped for — a fly—past to commemorate the men of mi amigo. ahead of d—day, tony has accompanied the us ambassador to visit three graves for the first time. brea kfast‘s graham satchell can tell us more. the american cemetery in cambridge, and a service to remember all those who died in the second world war. 75 years ago, the world held its breath. alongside the american ambassador and military personnel, guest of honour tony foulds. the service ends with a special fly—past — a mustang, and a b—17. all of us, this b—17 came over.

and of course, i burst into tears, like i do when i see it. tony was just a schoolboy playing in a park in sheffield 75 years ago when he saw a badly damaged b—17, the mi amigo, overhead. the pilot waved, trying to clear the area. but tony didn't understand, and waved back. moments later, the pilot brought the plane down in the trees. the first thing i do, of course, is i always kiss them first. tony has been attending a memorial to the crew of the mi amigo for decades. he counts them as family, blames himself for their deaths. three of the airmen are buried at the cemetery in cambridge. tony is visiting their graves for the first time, with the american ambassador.

as soon as i got there, it hit me straightaway, just as if they were there. i could do this all day. it's unbelievable, unbelievable to see them. i could stay. it wouldn't bother me if i sat down on the grass and stayed here all night. hello, how you doing? 0h, grand. oh, what a plane. duxford airfield, and a special treat. the sally b is the only b—17 still flying in europe, kept operational by charitable donations. the crew have kindly agreed to take tony for a spin along the runway.

# wish me luck as you wave me goodbye. # cheerio, here i go on my way. it were meant to be, this. meant to be. # with a cheer, not a tear... it's hard to put into words. it's so... the feeling, to know that my lads were in a plane like this. # wish me luck as you wave me goodbye... oh, what a beautiful thing. it was a really nice piece, that, as well. thursday marks the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. we would love to see photos of your family and hear stories of the part they played in normandy.

you can get in touch via e—mail, or tweet @bbcbreakfast. thanks for all your messages as well about seeing tony back on the programme. it is lovely to see him smiling and enjoying himself again. a group of british and american company bosses will meet prime minister theresa may and president donald trump later today over a business breakfast to discuss economic partnerships between the uk and the us. there will be wide—ranging discussions about trade post—brexit. mr trump has vowed to go all out to secure a free trade deal between the uk and us within months of britain leaving the eu. international trade secretary dr liam foxjoins us now. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. i know you are at the state banquet last night and use that next to the president's daughter. tell us about it. well, the banquet itself was really a celebration of the special relationship, and both her majesty and the president referred to the close bonds, and of course, with the

d—day celebrations coming up, there is an added poignancy to that, that the shared sacrifice between the united states and the uk in defence of freedom, democracy and law. i think there was a very strong resonance to this visit. is there a guarantee... you talk about the special relationship, of what that will actually mean, money on the table ina will actually mean, money on the table in a trade deal? what we want to see is trade liberalisation. we want, for example, to see greater access to the us market for uk services. there's a lot we can do together. the us is already single biggest export market as a nation, it is the strongest bilateral investment relationship in the world. we have $1 trillion invested in one another‘s economies, therefore it is essential that we both do well economically, which we are both doing at the present time, and we will want to explore where we can find new ways of ensuring that those bonds get stronger. let's talk about those new ways, we heard the

american ambassador saying that everything needs to be on the table ina everything needs to be on the table in a trade deal, including the nhs. would that be on the table? well, everything of course is technically on the table in an agreement, but when it comes to things like the nhs, it is accepted practice in trade agreements that governments retain the right to regulate public services, and that would include the nhs, and that wouldn't change. so it wouldn't be on the table? no, regulation of public services is a clear exemption in a trade agreement, in the one we signed recently with canada it is clear that regulation of public services is exempted from other free—trade provisions. when you sit next ivanka trump ata provisions. when you sit next ivanka trump at a dinner, do you talk about trade, and what does she bring to the table? we talk about her interest in women in trade in particular, and how trade can be used to get people to be permanently alleviated from poverty. things we we re alleviated from poverty. things we were discussing at the world trade 0rganisation at the moment around e—commerce, for example, are a

potential way to liberate women and get them to be able to be participating economically when they can't at the present time. and in societies where more women are active in the economy, they tend to be more stable and less chance of radicalisation. so it is something thatis radicalisation. so it is something that is part of our security, as well as desirable in itself economically. we are seeing pictures of the banquet right now, we know the president spoke, also the queen as well. let's listen to what she had to say. britain and the united states work with other allies to build an assembly of international institutions, to ensure that the horrors of conflict would never be repeated. while the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures. nations working together to safeguard a hard one piece. of

course, it is not only a security which unites us, but our strong cultural links and shared heritage. just listening, and you are there listening to that speech, is there in some ways, do you think, a message to president trump about his sort of america first? no, i think it was really a celebration of that deep relationship, and the fact that we have one of the closest continuing security relationships in the world. we are one of only a small handful of nuclear powers. we are at the heart of nato, with the united states. we have the fourth biggest military budget in the world, and we take global security responsibilities very seriously. we've got a permanent seat on the security council, along with the united states, so there are those very strong bonds which i think were being celebrated, and i have to say, which is why i thought it was so bad

that the leader of the opposition stayed away, the president is there isa stayed away, the president is there is a guest of the united kingdom. he seems to want to alienate the united states, as well as dropping our nuclear weapons, which of course have been part of the preservation of that piece for so long. we know thatjeremy corbyn is going to be at one of the many protests planned today, we spoke to a protester earlier saying the reason he was protesting was because of president trump's views for example on lgbt, on abortion rights, on climate change as well. what do you say to those protesters who will be out on the street today? well, the president as a party politician will have a range of views on a range of issues, as we would have in this country. the point is that he is here as a guest of the united kingdom. 0bviously last night as a guest of the queen, and it is about the relationship between the us and the relationship between the us and the uk. and that very special relationship is more important than any party orany relationship is more important than any party or any individual politician, and it is something which has helped keep the peace and stability in the world, something we should celebrate. looking into the future, i understand in the last half—hour you said you would back jeremy hunt as the new leader of the

conservative party. why him? well, jeremy is a friend of mine who has impressed me as foreign secretary. his background in business as an entrepreneur indicates two things. 0ne, he understands business. secondly that making deals as part of his political dna stop and i think that he understands, in terms of the european union, that we have to do two things simultaneously. 0ne is send a strong message to the european union that we want to deal with them. but equally, that if we can't get a deal, we would be willing to walk away without one. that is, i think, an essential understanding of what a negotiation is. thank you for your time here and brea kfast is. thank you for your time here and breakfast this morning. let us know what you think about that and anything else you see on the programme this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. president trump will meet business leaders in london this morning, on the second day of his state visit. us investment in the uk is at an all—time high, with much of the cash going to into the capital, and many us companies expanding here. transatlantic business leaders say removing more trade barriers would be a positive step. the relationship between the us and the uk, london and the us, is incredibly strong already. this is an amazingly vibrant economic relationship. but there's always that can be done. we'd like to see tariffs go, we'd like to see non—tariff barriers reduced, and we'd like to see the regulatory burden more aligned. special heart patches grown by scientists in london could save the lives of thousands of people who have had heart attacks. the lab—grown cells are sewn onto the heart and are programmed to turn into a working muscle that beats. it has been developed by the british heart foundation's centre of regenerative medicine in london. residents around a west london park have been warned not to go jogging there after a spike

in pollution gave it the worst air quality in london. data from the website air quality england showed levels of toxic air in boston manor park far exceeded recommended levels. experts want more checks to be carried out and say people should avoid exercising there. now, a photo of the south london grime artist stormzy will be on show in his hometown of croydon, after a loan from the national portrait gallery. the image of the musician and his mother will be displayed at the central croydon library until the end of september. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it is looking good on the tubes. turning to the roads, there are lots of closures for president trump's visit around westminster. this is parliament square. whitehall is also shut today, and roads around trafalgar square will also be affected by a planned demonstration later. finally, there are temporray traffic lights in kenley, on godstone road near 0ld barn lane. now the weather, with georgina burnett.

good morning. well, i hope you've made the most of the sunshine, because there's not going to be too much on offer for the week ahead. for today, we're looking at outbreaks of rain, with a little bit of brightness towards the end of the day, perhaps even some sunshine. but first thing, you mightjust catch a bright or sunny spell. but the cloud quickly encroaches, along with some outbreaks of rain. fairly showery for the most part, but there will be some heavier bursts, particularly as we head into the afternoon, and can't even rule out some thunder, as well. temperature—wise, we're getting up to about 20 degrees celsius. just a fairly light wind coming from the south to south—east. now, as we head through this evening, well, much of the cloud and the rain pushes off to the north, and we're left with fairly clear skies for much of the night, and a largely dry one too. temperature—wise, we're getting down to — probably staying in double figures, about ten or 11 degrees celsius. and it's going to be pretty unsettled for much of the week, with low pressure in control, but by the middle of next week, things are looking up.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today... the queen and president trump toast the "eternal friendship" between britain and america in the week of the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings. tonight, we celebrate an alliance that has helped to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for decades. as we honour our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future. after the pomp, today it's about politics — but protests are expected. in the himalayas, rescue teams consider how to recover the bodies of five climbers —

eight are feared dead. tuning out — after 18 years, apple calls time on itunes. i'll look at how tech is changing the way we buy music and movies. england wobble at the cricket world cup. the pre—tournament favourites have a nightmare in the field as they lose to pakistan at trent bridge. an emotional tony foulds visits the graves of three american airmen who lost their lives saving others when their plane crashed in sheffield. it wouldn't bother me if i sat down on the grass at the side of them and stayed here all night. good morning. pretty cloudy and wet for most of us, the driest and brightest conditions in the far north of scotland and the south—east of england but even here, not immune to some showers. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday the 4th ofjune. our top story. after the formalities of a state banquet, it's down to business on the second day

of president trump's state visit. last night, the us leader used his address during the dinner at buckingham palace to praise the queen's "spirit and dignity" throughout her reign of nearly seven decades. later this morning, he will meet theresa may to discuss a range of issues, including some they don't see eye to eye on, as our political correspondent, iain watson, reports. ‘god save the queen' plays last night, pomp and ceremony at the state banquet. mr president, i'm delighted to welcome you and mrs trump... and a celebration of the close links between the uk and the us. on behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long cherished and truly remarkable reign of her majesty the queen. critics of the president, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn

and the lib dem leader sir vince cable didn't turn up. and there are some underlying tensions even amongst close allies. today the prime minister and president will exchange gifts, but they'll also exchange views on issues where they don't see eye to eye. the prime minister is likely to be critical of the us administration on climate change. there are differences on how to handle iran's nuclear ambitions. and tensions over the chinese tech firm huawei. the president doesn't want america's allies to give contracts to a firm he thinks is too close to the chinese government. but the prime minister hasn't ruled out doing business with them entirely. theresa may will have opportunities to chat on a one—to—one basis with donald trump today. but their main meeting will also be attended by other ministers and advisers. with theresa may's time at number ten coming to an end soon, the us administration may well want to take an overview of the candidates who are vying to replace her. iain watson, bbc news.

let's take a look at the president's agenda for today. at ten o'clock this morning, he'll attend a breakfast meeting with theresa may and business leaders from the uk and america. he'll then head over to downing street, but there's no private meeting between the two leaders, as senior ministers and officials will be there too. this evening the trumps will host dinner at the us ambassador's residence, where the guests will include the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. let's go to our deputy political editor norman smith, who's in westminster. we talked a lot about the pomp and pageantry of yesterday, today is about business? it is but it's a funny sort of day because normally a meeting between us president and the british prime minister would be a big banana is moment, a key diplomatic moment. today, it is a

little bit more muted because obviously, theresa may is leaving, standing down as party leader at the end of the week. so for the president, he is kind of looking over her shoulder to see who is coming next. if you look at the brea kfast coming next. if you look at the breakfast meeting they are holding this money for business leaders, only five companies on either side. compare that to last year when the president came, there were around 150 businesses that turned up. that bilateral meeting in number ten at lunchtime, well, initially there was some doubt about whether it was going to take place and it seems it is not going to be a one—on—one private meeting, it is going to involve a whole range of officials and other ministers covering a broad range of topics. and you have the slight sense that everyone is just going through the motions. so of course the president will raise american concerns about the role of huawei nr five g network and mrs may will no doubt raise concerns about america's approach to iran. but it's a little bit just

america's approach to iran. but it's a little bitjust going through the motions. the real drama of the day, however, i suspect, motions. the real drama of the day, however, isuspect, will motions. the real drama of the day, however, i suspect, will be in the afternoon when we get that news conference. we know the president loves those sort of occasions. they are meat and drink to him. but theresa may is a much more cautious, uneasy performer in front of the camera. so it will be amazing theatre and i suppose what we are all waiting to see is whether the president once again gives vent to his true views about brexit and who should succeed mrs may. thank you, norman. before we speak to richard galpin, outside the residence of the us ambassador, i am just going to flick through some of the front pages. as you can see, the president pretty much making the front pages with most of the newspapers and the queen as well. so, it is interesting, seeing these pitches, how much is

president trump getting his way, the headlines he wants so far? i think he has absolutely got them. this has been very good for him. certainly us officials here are saying they are very happy, delighted by the way the visit has gone. there haven't been any gaffes so far, that has been crucial, mr trump himself has been tweeting that he believes things have been very successful for he believes things have been very successfulfor him. of he believes things have been very successful for him. of course, this is important for him right now in many respects because all these pitches are being broadcast live back to the united states. —— pitches. bolstering his position in the united states was next year there is a presidential election and we assume donald trump will be vying for a second term. so this plays very well for him indeed. thank you very well for him indeed. thank you very much. there will be full coverage of all the events throughout bbc news throughout the

day. we are looking later in the programme and how all the state visit has been reflected back in the us. in other news... indian authorities are considering how to recover five bodies spotted in the himalayas, close to where a party of eight climbers disappeared on friday. the group, including four from britain, had been climbing nanda devi, the country's second highest mountain, when it was hit by avalanches. ben ando reports. this, the photograph that's all but extinguished what little hope remained for the missing climbers — taken by a rescue helicopter that was finally able to lift off once heavy weather cleared. when it returned, the crew said they had spotted bodies and equipment on the treacherous slopes of nanda devi, india's second highest peak. the missing climbers, four britons, two americans, an australian and an indian, have not been heard from since the sunday before last. four others who were part of the same group were rescued two days ago. they had turned back early because of the bad weather, and told rescuers that those who were still missing had

pressed on to the summit, only for the mountain to be struck by avalanches. the group was being led by well—known mountaineer martin moran, seen on the left here guiding climbers in scotland. among the missing, rupert whewell — he had taken the trip as a 50th birthday present to himself. nanda devi is considered one of the world's toughest climbs. only a handful have made it to the summit. recovering the missing will be a huge challenge. they are believed to be above 5000 metres and there is a strong possibility of further avalanches. ben ando, bbc news. there will be no official commemorations in mainland china

today, on the 30th anniversary of protests in beijing's tiananmen square. this image of a man blocking tanks shocked the world, when the chinese government sent tanks and soliders to crush a peaceful, pro—democracy student protest. due to censorship in the country, no—one there knows for sure how many people were killed during the demonstrations. lawyers representing borisjohnson are understood to be challenging a court summons which accuses him of misconduct in a public office. the man who brought the private prosecution against mrjohnson, marcus ball, said an application forjudicial review of the case had been lodged. the former foreign secretary is accused of misleading the public during the eu referendum campaign by claiming the uk sent £350 million to brussels each week. customers will be able to fill up their own containers with products that were previously wrapped, as part of a new trial by one major supermarket. in an attempt to reduce plastic waste, items including pasta, fruit and veg, wine and washing—up liquid will be available at waitrose without any packaging.

the trial will run for 11 weeks, to see if customers are prepared to change how they shop. how about this for an adorable competition? toddlers in lithuania have been battling it out to find out who's the fastest crawler. 25 babies took part in the annual contest, with parents encouraging racers to the finish line using food, tv remotes and toys. the winner took 11 seconds to crawl along the five metre track. what would you encourage your child to run with? it reminds me of trying to run with? it reminds me of trying to get my dog back from a walk! food, lots of different things. they are very sweet. president trump was welcomed to the uk yesterday with a full day of royal pageantry, ending with a state banquet at buckingham palace. the royal family posted a tweet yesterday saying...

then a second tweet, showing the queen and president trump sharing a toast, said... however, mr trump's visit has also seen him become embroiled in a war of words with mayor of london, sadiq khan. so what's the view on his behaviour so far? amy pope, former deputy homeland security advisor to president 0bama, and sarah elliott, chair of republicans 0verseas uk, join us from westminster. ifi if i think you might differ in your views slightly but your choice of dress is remarkably similar this morning! thank you for coming on. sarah, if we can come to you first. that tweet about the mayor of london, president trump wasn't even off the plane when he was talking about sadiq khan being a stone called loser. is that statesman—like behaviour? of course not. but it is

trump —like behaviour. i think sadeek khan knew exact what he was doing by putting that article in the 0bserver. —— sadiq khan. to instigate a little controversy. does he know... we know he knows what he's doing but he doesn't mind stoking the fire on occasions like this in addition to doing the official visits he was involved in yesterday? i think his first concern is making sure that he is the number one topic of conversation. and a state visit is a great way to make sure that happens, but then lighting fires by sending incendiary tweets is another way to do it. he doesn't mind whether the publicity is good or bad, he just wants people talking about it. do you think that in terms of his priorities on this trip, is it politics or is it photo opportunities? i think it is definitely genuine goodwill, and in a genuine affection for this country. you have to remember the president is 50% british, his mother was scottish, he has a business in

scotland, he brought his family here because he has a sincere respect for the queen and her reign, the longest in british history. i think it is pa rt in british history. i think it is part heritage, part politics, he would like to see a free trade arrangement with the new prime minister, but it is kind of a part of thejob when minister, but it is kind of a part of the job when you are president of the united states, sometimes you get these types of state banquets. what do you think, amy? is it politics or photos? i think this president is driven first and foremost by domestic politics. and again he has shown he has no real foreign policy, he has shown a lack of regard for our importanta he has shown a lack of regard for our important a licence built after world war ii. —— alliances. he wants to show the american people back and that he is a statesman and that he isa that he is a statesman and that he is a good candidate for 2020. sol tend to see everything he is doing here through the lens of the 2020 elections. you talk about the feeling back home, the latest poll shows approval ratings are at a

two—year high, 71% of americans think the economy is strong under the current president. this president really invites a lot of divisiveness. i think that is the bottom line for top certainly he has strong support through his base and i think he continues to play towards his base. but when you look at americans as a whole, the number of people who will be going to the polls in 2020, it's a different story. he is banking on getting his co re story. he is banking on getting his core supporters to the polls and that's why he continues to play towards them. i saw you nodding along about the approval ratings, sarah. do you think that this trip will play well with his support back home? yes, i think genuinely americans really are interested and have affection for the royal family over here, especially the queen. i don't think it isjust driven by politics. i also don't think this will have a massive effect for 2020, andl will have a massive effect for 2020, and i would say on this show right

now if the elections were today i think he would win. i think the democrats actually have to decide what direction as a party they want to go, whether they want to be a more centre—left party or a far left party. and i'm not quite sure that the biggest contender right now, which is former vice presidentjoe biden, would even get out of the democratic primary. in terms of the discussions with our prime minister today, how do you think that will go? 0bviously she is stepping down as tory leader later this week. what sort of areas of interest will they be talking about was max sarah, you mentioned that he an unconventional president, but might he talk about a potential candidate, might he talk about boris johnson or potential candidate, might he talk about borisjohnson or reference nigel farage today? he might, but i don't see why he would. i don't think it would help things. my hope is that it will be a friendly chat, she was the first foreign leader that visited him in the white house soi that visited him in the white house so i hope there will be some

graciousness and gratitude. but i think his conversations about the future will be held with other politicians. is it appropriate for him to have been involved in british politics in the way that he has been pre—trip and probably while he's here? i'm sure the british people do not appreciate his weighing in. there are more important issues for him to weigh in on, issues of security and defence cooperation, cooperation on sharing information and intelligence, a range of issues where the us and the uk governments really need to bind together and make sure there is important cooperation for the future. so wasting time on things like who will be the next parameter, whether the uk should jump forward on brexit is just distracting from the important issues of the day. really good to talk to you about this morning, thank you forjoining us. it is 8:18. carroll, tell us all about the weather!

it's going to be unsettled until the first half of next week by the looks of things. some spots of rain in gloucestershire this morning, but todayis gloucestershire this morning, but today is fairly cloudy, many of us seeing some rain. the driest conditions in the north of scotland and the south east of england but even here, some showers. low pressure is driving the weather, the rain coming in from the south west and pushing north—east. we have seen quite a bit of rain already this morning. across south west england, wales, showers ahead in parts of scotla nd wales, showers ahead in parts of scotland and northern ireland and if few across england as well. there has been a fair bit of dry weather first thing. not necessarily going to last where you are, though because this morning as well as a fair bit of cloud, we also have all this rain moving north, some showers ahead of it in scotland, showers behind it in the south east, but they are showers so fairly hit and

miss. anywhere today you could hear the odd clap of thunder. temperatures 11 in the north, 20 in the south. many of us, a bit disappointing for this stage in june. this evening and overnight, the low pressure continues to drift north with its attendant fronts, bringing the rain through scotland and northern england, northern ireland just swinging and across north wales as well. behind that band of rain, some clear skies, it has been wet today, we could see under the clear skies and patchy mist and fog. temperatures, falling to between seven and 12 in towns and cities, no real problems, the low temperatures although they will be a bit lower than that in rural areas. tomorrow starting off with ryan across scotland and northern ireland, north—west england and north wales. 0n the other side, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. but some scattered showers, again hit and miss and many of us will miss them. temperatures ten to 19. this little feature here

waiting on the continent looks like it's going to come our way through the evening bringing some rain across east anglia and kent. the position is still open to question but this is what we think. that means that overnight it will continue to migrate north, and during thursday it will continue to do the same, bringing some heavier rain across scotland, swirling into northern ireland with showers behind it. but as is the way with showers we will not all catch one. if you do, it could be heavy and thundery. by do, it could be heavy and thundery. by then the temperature range, 11 in the north, 18 in the south. since 2017, in an effort to encourage us to be healthier, all tobacco products in the uk must feature labels with a standard colour, shape and font — but what about using the same rules for sweets and chocolate? plain packaging on all confectionery, crisps and sugary drinks "is essential for tackling obesity" according to the left—leaning think—tank the institute for public policy research.

we asked some shoppers in salford what they thought of the idea. # sweets for my sweet, sugarfor my honey... # packaging certainly makes it more attractive to buy. i think especially when it comes to kids' sweets, it appeals, you know, pictures and things on the kids' sweets. but i think if you know what you want, you're going to get it. if i knew what was on the packet and it said the name of it, because i knew what i was looking forwhen i came in, so if i knew the name, i'd know what i'd find. i don't think it's a bad idea, but i don't think it's going to do much. like, people are still going to buy sweets that they like, and know they like. but it'll put people off buying sweets they don't know, but that's about it, really. nothing changes the content of the product you are buying, so i wouldn't have a problem with it. it wouldn't make a difference to me, because i know what i like and i would buy them anyway. and it might make a difference as to whether kids buy sweets or not. so maybe it'll help to get them out of that habit.

that has made me hungry! we'rejoined by daniel pryor from economic think tank the adam smith institute and also by gp, dr fari ahmad. good morning, thank you both for joining us. before we go to talk about whether or not plain cath packaging will make a difference, let's talk about the impact this kind of food has on obesity levels in this country. i think we all know that obesity is a growing problem. all over the world and here in the uk. what is worrying is that children are getting obese, and they tend to, when they become adults, keep that weight and it's causing us problems for the health service because people who are obese tend to get more diabetes and more cardiovascular issues, more cancers, so it does take a toll. it's a really important issue and it is something that we need to address. but would plain packaging on crisps

and sweets and chocolate do that, would it make a difference?” and sweets and chocolate do that, would it make a difference? i don't think it would work and i think this report is based on a kind of fundamental misunderstanding of how advertising is supposed to work. it doesn't necessarily create new desires, it's not like we walk into tesco and morrisons and suddenly we see some nice packaging and previously we didn't want to buy some crisps and now we do. what it is about is making us choose one brand over another. we know it because when we look at research on the size of the advertising market, it is not actually related to how big the advertising market is so in other words, the more companies spend on advertising, it doesn't increase the amount of times that people want to buy particular products. it's not so much about making us have new desires, i don't think it would make a huge difference to how we eat chocolate or crisps or anything like that. do you think it would make a difference, could it help?” you think it would make a difference, could it help? ithink people who want to eat chocolate will probably eat chocolate whatever the packet it is in. where it might make a difference as for maybe you

didn't want to go into the shop to buy some chocolate and it was an impulse buy, with children it might help them control it. people put on weight for lots of complex reasons and it's trying to understand the behaviour that goes into it. there is some research that shows that seeing the package produces the hormone in your brain that makes you feel happy, so there is some evidence that just the feel happy, so there is some evidence thatjust the packaging will have an impact. so i think it's complex but it will be interesting to see. there must be some truth in that, when i go to my parents' house my go to the fridge, she always has a fruit and not bar. do you always eat it! -- not. you mentioned adults and children. what is your thoughts

on that, daniel? adults can make their own decisions but it's also talking about an advertising watershed to try help with the children on this as well. there is a slippery slope that people on the more liberal side of the argument, we warned about this when plain packaging for cigarettes started. at the time people working in public health authorities were saying there will not be plain packaging for food or drinks yet we are sat here today with a report that has come out suggesting this. but there is also an issue even if it is the case that plain packaging would reduce the amount of sugary drinks or various other unhealthy foods we have, it's about implementing it. i live in london where tfl ended up banning junk food advertising on the tube. the problem there is that they ended up the problem there is that they ended up banning things which most people don't class is junk food, up banning things which most people don't class isjunk food, there is no actual definition ofjunk food, and it meant that companies which supported the ban in london ended up having adverts for things like eggs

band, and fruit juices having adverts for things like eggs band, and fruitjuices and smoothies are including in this category. so evenif are including in this category. so even if it does work and if we acce pt even if it does work and if we accept there is a need to reduce obesity in childhood, it's about implementing it. so forthe obesity in childhood, it's about implementing it. so for the evidence suggests we haven't been very good at implementing it successfully. one of the points made by one of the shoppers is that whatever the package changes, it doesn't change what's actually in it. thank you both for your time. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. we began on a warm night for some but turning cooler for all of us as we head through the coming weeks. low pressure is in charge and today will be cool and cloudy with many places seeing outbreaks of rain. it's down to this
