6:03 am
threatened her with a knife. she was told her messages could be misinterpreted by a jewellery and on the eve of a trial, a prosecutor announced they were dropping the case. she said that what's up m essa 9 es we re case. she said that what's up messages were other concern. “— whatsapp. they said the jury wouldn't believe that he had raped me. i was absolutely devastated, retraumatized all over again that i actually felt suicidal. women's organisation said there has been a i73% organisation said there has been a 173% increase in rape complaints over the past four years but there has also been a 44% drop in cases actually getting to court. this means that only around one in 25 rape complaints result in a prosecution. prosecutors are being encouraged to anticipate what quite a prejudiced jury would think about
6:04 am
cases that are thought to be weak at an early stage. this is not acceptable, we say it is not lawful and we want to change. we will see them in court to get it changed if we have to do. rebecca says she would now deter other women from making a complete stop the cps insists prosecutions are decided solely on evidence and denies there has been any change in approach. june kelly, bbc news. south korea and the uk have reached an agreement in principle which would allow the two sides to keep trading in the event of a no—deal brexit. the preliminary agreement marks the first post—brexit trade deal the uk has secured in asia. both sides said it was a starting point and hoped for a more ambitious deal over the next few months. south korea exports around six billion dollars worth of goods to britain, mostly cars and ships. aio—minute mri scan could soon be offered as part of the uk's first prostate cancer screening programme. the test, which is being trialled in london, would detect the cancer before any symptoms appear, making them quicker, cheaper and more reliable

6:06 am
stephen mcdonnell is in beijing. so many people out on the streets. what is it all about? well, people have decided the only way to oppose this proposed change to the law to allow hong kong residents and in fa ct allow hong kong residents and in fact visitors to hong kong to be extradited to mainland china to face courts controlled by the communist party is to do it on the streets. the reason for that is that through hong kong's system, the group loyal to beijing, if you like, always has the numbers in the legislative council so if they want to push that through, it will get through. people in kong kong are not opposed —— are opposed to this. we saw a record number of people protesting, what is thought to be the largest protest in hong kong since the handover to chinese control, and you have just heard from carrie lamb that the government is going to push ahead
6:07 am
with this proposal. —— lam. the problem is people are misunderstanding the situation and they are drip —— they are going to have the bill passed in the coming weeks. a showdown in hong kong to come. would you consider yourself to bea come. would you consider yourself to be a night owl? yes. love. iam come. would you consider yourself to be a night owl? yes. love. i am a night owl who has to get up very early. i'm really looking forward to seeing this. if you're a night owl who struggles to get out of bed early, then there's hope. scientists say making slight changes in sleeping habits can shift people's body clocks and improve their wellbeing. 0ur health correspondent, james gallagher, reports. each of us has a clock ticking inside us. 0ur body clock keeps us in time with the rising and the setting of the sun, and it's why we sleep at night. but some people's clocks run later than others. it means life can be hard for night owls. their bodies are hardwired to stay up late into the night,
6:08 am
and a morning alarm clock can force them to get up for work hours before their body is ready. the study looked at 21 people who were regularly going to bed after 2:00am. they were instructed to get up and go to bed at the same times every day, do so hours earlier than usual, get loads of sunlight in the morning, and have fixed mealtimes. on average, people who shifted their body clocks two hours earlier were getting the same total shut—eye, but were reporting lower levels of sleepiness, stress and depression. firstly, it's really important to raise the awareness of the differences we see between people, so our night owls and our morning larks, and help understand that. and secondly, what we're doing is providing some really simple tools, lifestyle interventions, that night owls could use to help shift them earlier, and which had a positive impact on self—reported measures of depression and stress and increased performance at nonoptimal times.
6:09 am
the researchers said their methods may seem like obvious advice for good sleep hygiene, but they were surprised how effective such relatively simple strategies were. there you go. fixed. let's go back to our main story. the deadline for nominations to become the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister closes at 5pm today. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster this morning. jonathan, where does this leave the leadership race? it might feel like its been going on for weeks and that's because it has, unofficially full. but this evening, its going to be a contest which is as much about personality as it is policy but this morning, the front runner boris johnson setting policy but this morning, the front runner borisjohnson setting out one big policy move he would look to do as prime minister, being a tax cut
6:10 am
to around 3 million higher earn — make higher earners by raising the tax threshold. at the moment it is payable by people earning over £50,000 per year. a big policy move by him and promising to pay for that by him and promising to pay for that by money set aside for the event of a no—deal brexit and increased national contributions. michael gove is still facing questions about his use of cocaine 20 years ago. he apologised on the weekend and said he was fortunate not to go to prison for it. will that hangover him as this campaign continues? alsojeremy hunt getting some heavyweight arcing from his colleague amber rudd, saying he is the serious leader we need who will be listened to in brussels and without naming names she takes a swipe at some other candidates saying its not enough to shut your eyes, cross your fingers, pick up some magic beans and in britain. there are so far 11
6:11 am
candidates who have put their names forward and they each need eight mps supporting them to get through this first stage of the race. so far we think only six of those running have the required level of support but lots of mps still have to make up their minds and publicly say who they are going to back. what is the process for finding the new leader, and how long will it take? get ready for a fairly long contest. it is mps who have the first say in whittling down this quite wild, widerfield of whittling down this quite wild, wider field of candidates to two. conservative mps will vote in secret for their preferred candidate and they will be further secret ballots next week and the idea behind those is too narrow this field down to two
6:12 am
candidates and once that happens, it is the conservative party membership asa is the conservative party membership as a whole across the uk who will vote in that a straight head run off a little later on this month and we should know who has one by the middle, towards the end ofjuly. if it feels like this contest has been going on for some time yet, i'm afraid it is onlyjust getting started. very interesting, thank you very much. we will be talking to one of those leadership hopefuls at about ten past seven this morning. england fans are celebrating and sally has got a lovely location this morning. she has not even by the beach, she is on the beach! good morning. do you think i went today? yes. isn't it glorious. here we are on the beach in nice. this is the very first beach that they first
6:13 am
promoted the bikini. i hope you can hear the sound of the sea because it isa hear the sound of the sea because it is a glorious morning here. i want to show you a little thing in the local paper. scotland fans. 0k, england might have one last night — met last night but there is pictures of the scottish fans everywhere. it means they were really good fun at having a great time despite the defeat. england began their women's world cup campaign with a 2—1win over scotland here in nice. nikita parris opened the scoring from a penalty awarded by var before ellen white added another. claire emslie pulled one back for scotland. jordan pickford saved one and scored one as england beat swizerland in a penalty shoot—out to win the nations league third place play—off. portugal beat the netherlands 1 nil in the final. sebastian vettel‘s ferrari
6:14 am
crossed the line first in the canadian grand prix, but he was penalised 5 seconds for dangerous driving. that handed victory to lewis hamilton in montreal. and shikhar dhawan hit 114 as india beat australia by 36 runs in the cricket world cup at the oval. india have now won both their matches. i know that scotland were beaten but in the second half they were great. also what england can potentially do to ——to improve next time around. there has been lots of chat on social media about a certain manager's waistcoat. can i ask you a question? is there actually a drink in that cup or is it a fake cup and saucer? i knew it! i knew it! it is
6:15 am
empty. 0h, saucer? i knew it! i knew it! it is empty. oh, my goodness... next time its going to have something in it! we've got all sorts of... i did have flowers but they've gone! it looks absolutely glorious there this morning. you would be in the sea, lou. iam morning. you would be in the sea, lou. i am envious. mine is fake this morning as well, i don't have anything in it. your fake triple espresso. here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you. not quite as nice as it is in nice, i can tell you. not too pretty, we have a very
6:16 am
u nsettled you. not too pretty, we have a very unsettled week of weather ahead. many of us will see some rain, it will be pretty heavy at times. it will be pretty heavy at times. it will also be feeling quite windy and rather cool for the time of year. today, this is the zone we are most concerned about, the south—east of england, east anglia and lincolnshire where we could see 60 millimetres of rain, about a month's worth of rainfall following just today, enough for some flooding issues. that rain is already with us across the south—eastern third of the uk, and whetherfront across the south—eastern third of the uk, and whether front producing the uk, and whether front producing the rain will be drifting a bit further northwards and westwards, but it will be slow—moving today. much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland having some sunshine, but some scattered showers for northern ireland and scotland stop 17 degrees for belfast but for many of us 13 or 1a degrees. quite a brisk north—easterly when developing, especially where you see that rain. the rain and wind pushed a bit further towards the north and west as we move through tonight. i think it will be drying up on the far south—east, turning wet for much of wales, south—west england, through into parts of southern and eastern yorkshire as well. to the north of that, as we start tuesday, scotla nd north of that, as we start tuesday, scotland and northern ireland most mostly dry with a few showers in the
6:17 am
north. persistent rain continuing across similar zones during tuesday. again, parts of northern england, wales and the south—west, a little drier to the south—east of that, but they will be heavy and thundery showers developing. mostly dry to the north as well, but the wind is yet againa the north as well, but the wind is yet again a real feature of the weather, and will feel chilly. 12 or 13 degrees under the rain. where you see the sunshine it could be 19 in the south—east. tuesday to thursday, the south—east. tuesday to thursday, the emphasis of the heavy rain d rifts the emphasis of the heavy rain drifts further northwards, so parts of north—east england could see up to around 18 millimetres through the second half of the week. flooding could again be an issue. northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland could see the rain teaming on wednesday stop sunshine and heavy showers with some helen under sums to the south of that. 17 01’ under sums to the south of that. 17 or 18 under sums to the south of that. 17 or18 in the under sums to the south of that. 17 or 18 in the south, towards the north of scotland, 12 degrees or so and one or two showers around. and here is the area of low pressure driving a weather through this week. it drifts its way slowly further
6:18 am
northwards as we move through thursday, but we still have some rain. by the time we get to thursday it will be sitting across scotland and northern ireland as well. england and wales seeing a mix of sunny spells but also some heavy and thundery showers. plenty more rain for many of us by the time we get to the end of the week, and those temperatures still not great. around 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below parfor 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below par for the 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below parfor the time of 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below par for the time of year, and 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below parfor the time of year, and if 13 to 17 degrees, certainly below par for the time of year, and if you are after some rain for your gardens, you are likely to see it through this week. well, the gardens will be grateful, thank you very much. let's take a look at today's front pages. michael gove's admission over the weekend that he took cocaine on several occasions 20 years ago dominates many of the front pages. the daily mail claims mr gove remains undaunted by accusations of hypocrisy over the story. the i claims mr gove's place in the tory leadership race is now threatened, but adds the environment secretary's key supporters have stayed loyal. the mirror chooses to lead with baroness warsi's verdict that mr gove must pull out of the race to be prime minister. the former tory chair brands mr gove a hypocrite for demanding stronger
6:19 am
drug laws in an article he wrote in 1999. the telegraph instead focuses on the policies of mr gove's leadership rival, boris johnson. the former foreign secretary has revealed plans to cut income tax if he becomes prime minister. he claims he will increase the threshold for the 40% rate from £50,000 to £80,000. sally is off in nice, and we are trying to find a cup of coffee. let's take a look inside. what have we got? good morning, we talked a lot about the compulsory acquisition of british steel, and the impact that will have on scunthorpe. and the impact that will have on scu nthorpe. and british the impact that will have on scunthorpe. and british steel has placed orders for the delivery of raw materials for the next three months, giving some hope that the government is prepared to keep it ticking over until they find a
6:20 am
buyer. they have untiljune for any potential investors to come forward, 4500 potential investors to come forward, a500 jobs there, 20,000 people in the supply chain, so that will be encouraging if they are lacking in certainty for the people on scunthorpe. we are talking a lot this morning about plastic waste, aren't we? gatwick airport are trialing the reuse of coffee cups. specifically with starbucks, if you go and have a coffee and you place it in one of five recycling bins, you have the option of using a cup which has been used before. would you go for that? it has been washed and sterilised. yes, no problem. i have no problem with it, it is one of those things where you think why haven't they done this before? are used to have this thing in the old days called china. you can use them many times. i suppose they are more expensive. probably to wash, and no—one will take those on aeroplanes, will they? and i know
6:21 am
you love your television, you watch quite a lot television. i don't know where you find the time, but there we go. fans of killing eve, you haven't watched it yet. we go. fans of killing eve, you haven't watched it yetlj we go. fans of killing eve, you haven't watched it yet. i am coming around to your house later. so you have to presumably schedule the timing, do you? yes. they havejust done a survey and apparently lots of killing eve fans have already watched all of the episodes, and it has only been out a short time. 5500 people they talked to in the survey, 80% revealed they have lost sleep in order to carry on watching the series, one in five admitting calling into work sick to continue with a boxed set binge. people watching four hours at a time. i just... it is beyond me. i did that with 2a. just... it is beyond me. i did that with 24. i was going to say, i stayed up all night watching that, and then!
6:22 am
stayed up all night watching that, and then i went to work. i would never call in sick because of binge watching tv. you know i never call in sick because of binge watching tv. you know! like line never call in sick because of binge watching tv. you know i like line of duty, right? chernobyl is the best tv programme i think i have ever watched. yes, but you have to subscribe to a certain tv channel in order to be able to see it. i will have to go to your house to watch it. that is fine, because it is like a history lesson wrapped in a drama, and there is a podcast that goes alongside the series, which is brilliant, where the director talks you through everything that actually happened, and some of the things they had to slightly... is it historically accurate, then? the vast majority of it is, and it is fascinating the levels of state control and how they tried to cover things up. and the acting and it is fantastic. very highly recommended, iam aware fantastic. very highly recommended, i am aware it is on... it isjust cruel for people who don't have that specific... i am sure it will be available soon, or you can get the
6:23 am
dvd when it comes out. and some really heartfelt tributes to justin edinburgh, who used to play for spurs and was a manager of leyton 0rient. he got them promotion a few weeks ago and died over the weekend at the age of a9 of cardiac arrest. there's been quite a few videos going around of him, the speech that he gave to his players after they won promotion. it came out of nowhere, and there's some lovely tributes paid by various people who worked with him and played with him over the years, and he will be really sadly missed by not only the sort of wider football community, as well. it is not too late to be in the papers, but last night, i know sally will talk about this later on, rory mcilroy. .. where you up late watching it? i did, yes. graeme
6:24 am
mcdowell needed to hole aao foot putt on the final green, and if he hold that, he would be progressing, and he did it. anything else to add? i have no sporting feats to add. it wasn't until the 1990s that the women's world cup became an officially recognised contest. before then, women played in unofficial teams at makeshift tournaments. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to meet some of the 1971 england squad, who went from playing in a field in luton to a packed stadium in mexico. long before today's champions, there we re long before today's champions, there were the trailblazers, like carol wilson. and it all started here. it
6:25 am
did, yes. chiltern valley ladies. playing to crowds of? six, and a dog. but, in 1971, carol stepped out in front of a crowd of around 95,000 in mexico's azteca stadium, as the captain ofan in mexico's azteca stadium, as the captain of an unofficial england world cup squad. when was the last time you saw the team? 48 years ago. have you ever seen any footage? time you saw the team? 48 years ago. have you ever seen any footage ?|j have have you ever seen any footage?” have seen nothing, no. we have a treat. fantastic, fantastic. grainy footage shows the girls arriving in mexico, vast crowds in the stadium to see them play. a competition which to this day holds the record for attendance at any women's game. is it emotional? brace yourself, then. ladies! 0h. is it emotional? brace yourself, then. ladies! oh. oh, god. for the

6:27 am
national team, and the official governing body still hadn't gotten around to creating their own.” governing body still hadn't gotten around to creating their own. i feel very fortunate, but i think of all the girls that never got the opportunity, in their lives, just because somebody wants to ban them. i'm the one in the middle, with the ponytail. i don't understand. this is me at the end. these weather women that dared to big when others lacked that vision. i was born too soon. because i was born and was —— ifi soon. because i was born and was —— if i was born and was sort of 15, 16, the world would be my oyster, andi 16, the world would be my oyster, and i want that for my granddaughters. these were the trailblazers and the rule breakers who beat a path for today's game. and this is me, captain, 1971. get and they still have the skills, don't they? it must be wonderful for

momentum. england leave with the results they wanted while scotland have a performance to give them hope. we will start by analysing england's performance. rachel, coming to you first of all, are you irish? are you neutral? definitely not neutral. i'm a big, big lioness's fan. is a win and probably not the best performance you would wa nt to not the best performance you would want to see from them. it is expected from scotland. we knew they would be a tough match. people didn't think scotland were going to put up as big a fight as they did that i'm happy to get out with the three points. in your blog this morning, what are you saying about the match and the atmosphere?” think the first half was really good for england. they probably started a little bit slow but then they got out of the blocks. they got those two goals and that really settled
6:39 am
them in the second half, i think they dropped off too much. scotland got their goal as well and it gave them some extra spark. i think they need to keep going until the end. 0nce need to keep going until the end. once again, var causes a little bit ofa once again, var causes a little bit of a controversy. what did you make of a controversy. what did you make of that penalty? for me, it was a penalty. i know there was some talk on twitter about natural positions but by the rules of the game, that was a penalty. when it was replayed in the stadium again, there was a cce pta nce in the stadium again, there was acceptance it was a handball. it will always be can trickle — make considered controversy when var is used but it was a penalty. it slowed things down but what was the atmosphere like in the stadium. ? it
6:40 am
wasn't full, was it? it was surprising because we were told it would be pretty much full. there we re would be pretty much full. there were a would be pretty much full. there we re a lot would be pretty much full. there were a lot of scottish fans there and they were very loud, especially when they scored towards the end. they made the last 15 minutes quite loud for the scottish team. everyone was having fun. it is a nice fixture for us, its a good one. let's look ahead. how far england come? they are not guaranteed to go far at all after last night. we would want them to play the perfect game but it is turned on football so you never know how it is going to go. the quality and the team, they could go either way but they need to tighten up if they need to progress further along into the tournament. that is going need to be done, especially holding on throughout the whole game and not backing off. i think they sampled, i think they all suffered a little bit in the heat may be. i know england is supposed to be fitter than ever but the heat got them in the end. anyway, much more on that coming up. thank you very much indeed, rachel and sophie.
6:41 am

good you —— not good news. fewer shops, house of fraser, new look, debenhams, they have all faced closures. last yea r, debenhams, they have all faced closures. last year, seven thousand 500 shops sat empty. that makes shops. —— 7500 shops. we have been looking at a scheme that has been happening this week where retailers have tried to take matters into their own hands. they are asking to spend a fiver out there in this special week. i am spend a fiver out there in this specialweek. i am sarah. spend a fiver out there in this specialweek. iam sarah. ithink this is a camp that make important campaign. a good result is people coming into the shop that had never beenin coming into the shop that had never been in before. the way to get people back in is to think a little
6:45 am
bit outside the box. what we are trying to do as a shop is do different events. actor bit like a community hub. get our locals coming in. —— act a bit like a community hub. suggesting what books to come in so the community becomes part of the bookshop. hi, i am steph, iwork at mary ‘s's florist. we are doing it to get the locals into halifax again because we all need the support and if we can support each other, its just great. support and if we can support each other, itsjust great. you support and if we can support each other, its just great. you see a lot of shops closed all the time and it is not nice to see. it is nice to see them fall and people working in them. more busy we are, the more people we can employ. this is a butcher 's people we can employ. this is a butcher '5 shop and we have been here 33 years. i started working in the market at 16. as a way of getting in public and surrounding districts. these isles, packed. if they allowed more free parking in
6:46 am
they allowed more free parking in the afternoons, it might bring people back into the town centres. people don't like to pay to park, do they? would it make a difference, this idea? the organisation organising this estimate if we all go out and spend a fiver, it would jennifer —— generate £13.5 billion for these high street shops. critics would say it is a sticking plaster. it is just happening over would say it is a sticking plaster. it isjust happening over one would say it is a sticking plaster. it is just happening over one week and the larger issues remain. i'm sure we will be talking about it very soon. you know we were talking about chernobyl early on, what they need isatv chernobyl early on, what they need is a tv series, because on the back of that there has been a a0% rise in tourism to go and visit the reactor. mary porter did a series on the high street. she did, but it is still struggling. it needs to be a good drama. drama on the high street. here is sarah with a look
6:47 am
at this morning's weather. the next few days are not particularly good, good if you like rain, is that right? nice weather for ducks, i think that is it. for much of the week we have some u nsettled much of the week we have some unsettled weather on the cards. many of us will see some rain, heavy and persistent at times. not just the rain, but quite a wind developing as well, and rather cool for the time of year. so the heaviest of the rain will be across parts of the south—east of england, east anglia, lincolnshire, the midlands as well. 60 millimetres possible through today, that is about a month's worth of rainfall. we already have that ran across the south—eastern third of the uk, drifting its way slowly north and west, but it will be slow—moving. some sunshine towards parts of northern england through the day, scattered showers for northern england, scotland, and the far south—west of england as well. temperatures around 17 for belfast and cardiff, but under the rain, just 13 or 1a degrees with quite a
6:48 am
brisk north—easterly wind as well. into the evening and overnight, the wind in the rain pushed a little bit further northwards, so parts of yorkshire, down towards wales in the south—west of england, see the bulk of that ran through tonight. a lot of that ran through tonight. a lot of flying surface water through tuesday morning, so i think to watch out for some localised flooding. scotla nd out for some localised flooding. scotland and northern ireland also reasonably dry, just a few scattered showers around in the north, but we have this slow—moving band of persistent rainfall really write their way through the centre of the uk. some heavy showers to the south of that as well and the wind again a really noticeable feature, so that risk wind coming in from the north—east, making it feel rather chilly. especially where you have the rain, 12 or 13 here, 17 to 19 in the rain, 12 or 13 here, 17 to 19 in the south—east with the return of a bit of sunshine. through the course of the week, that rain shift northwards. tuesday to thursday we could see 18 millimetres of rain for parts of northern and north—eastern england. during the day on wednesday, here is that front is
6:49 am
again bringing outbreaks of rain to parts of northern england, southern scotla nd parts of northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland by this stage of the week. further south across england and wales, sunshine and heavy and potentially thundery showers. 17 or 18 in the sunny spells, where you have the cloud, 12 or 13 degrees. not great for this stage in june. cloud, 12 or 13 degrees. not great for this stage injune. low pressure dominating a weather through the week, drifting further northwards so by the time we get to thursday most of that rain will be sitting across parts of scotland and northern ireland as well. england and wales will see a bit of sunshine, but also some heavy and thundery showers. somehow mixed in am still quite thundery as well. temperatures by this stage only 11 to 17 degrees, so an unsettled picture through the whole of this week. thank you very much, we will see you later. campaigners say they are prepared to take the crown prosecution service to court over claims sexual offence cases are being dropped without good reason. a group of women's organisations have accused it of secretly making
6:50 am
a decision to bring fewer rape prosecutions in england and wales. the cps have denied the claims. this is rebecca's story. we have changed her name to protect her identity. she said that the whatsapp messages were of a concern. and that they didn't think that a jury would believe that he had raped me. i was absolutely devastated. i was retraumatised all over again. i actually felt suicidal. solicitor harriet wistrich is bringing this case forward for the end violence against women coalition. she is in our london newsroom now. good morning. thank you for coming on and talking to us about this this morning. tell us out of your own words, if you could, the exact reason why you are taking this against cps. well, because the cps
6:51 am
are failing in their duty to prosecute rape and are not taking forward enough cases. we have amassed evidence that they have surreptitiously changed the way in which they make decisions around prosecuting, and we believe that is because they want to prosecute fewer cases and take week cases out of the system, and that that is a message that was delivered in some training a couple of years ago, and the consequence of that and the consequence of that and the consequence of that and the consequence of removing the previous test, the merits based test, from their policy is that there is a falling rate of prosecution, at a time when more women are actually coming forward to report rape. so if these changes were to be secured, what would that actually mean for victims? well, they are already having an impact, because like we have heard from rebecca and many other women, we have collected a dossier of 21 cases and we know there are many, many more, cases
6:52 am
which have a chance of success, and which, you know, involve a serious, dangerous... men, quite often, dangerous... men, quite often, dangerous offences, potentially men who may go on to offend again and again, and know what sort of women to target, are not being prosecuted. and that puts women as a whole at danger, and of course, it lets down those women who have been victims of rape, getjustice. those women who have been victims of rape, get justice. we those women who have been victims of rape, getjustice. we are arguing that this change discriminates against women. it is a policy that is unlawful, because it is being brought in without consultation, and it is potentially a violation of the systemic duty on the prosecution service to effectively prosecute rape, like in the case of worboys,
6:53 am
which went all the way to the supreme court, and it was held to be a human rights violation because of the failure of the police to investigate in that case. we are saying there are similar considerations here. the cps say they are cases where they don't feel there is enough chance of obtaining a conviction. well, the reality is that they are dropping more cases, and what we're saying is that about five years there was an introduction... longerago, ten yea rs introduction... longerago, ten years ago, after a case went to court, thejudge set years ago, after a case went to court, the judge set out what was called the merits based approach, where you look at the evidence objectively and, rather than second—guessing what a jury will think. we know that rape is imbued with all sorts of myths and stereotypes, and that jurors with all sorts of myths and stereotypes, and thatjurors tend to acquit and lots of types of cases where they think that perhaps it didn't happen. unless you really, really robustly show how those myths
6:54 am
and stereotypes are myths and stereotypes, jurors do tend to acquit more than they should do. but the test is, for the prosecutor, to consider the objective evidence, not to second—guess what a juror might say, and then to build the case and to address those myths and stereotypes that exist. but they are stepping back from that. we have evidence that they are stepping back from that. and that is the focus of our challenge. really good to talk to you this morning. thank you very much for that. in response, the cps say, "decisions to prosecute are based on whether our legal tests are met — no other reason — and we always seek to prosecute where there is sufficient evidence to do so. victims have the right to ask for a review of their case by another prosecutor, independent of the original decision—maker." if you or anyone you know has been affected by any of the items discussed, you can find details
6:55 am
of groups offering information and support on the bbc‘s action line website, or by calling the number on your screen now, 08000158 707. 0ne story we had a huge reaction to last week with our technology correspondence saying, well, he was on breakfast two weeks ago... we will show you the pictures now, because lots of people noticed on brea kfast because lots of people noticed on breakfast that you could see his hand was shaking. you got in touch, thank you very much for that, and after that he decided to tell eve ryo ne after that he decided to tell everyone that he has recently been diagnosed with parkinson's disease. he will be here a little bit later to talk about that, how it affects him, and really importantly, as well, for the early signs for what people should be watching out for. it was another report he had done on bbc breakfast, a professor saw him and said maybe you should go and see
6:56 am
and said maybe you should go and see a doctor, because i think you may have something going on. which i imagine at the time is probably quite scary, but he is thankful that you get that sort of intervention and it leads to a diagnosis. he can tell us all about the treatment he is going through and how he is really keen to work in the support that he has —— and the support that he has received. and he will be here about 7:a0 a.m.. and we will be talking about a new series called war on plastic. just seeing how much plastic we use and how much we could potentially get rid of. and looking where much about recycling actually goes. -- much of our recycling. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:57 am
good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the bbc has learned that dozens of grenfell survivors and relatives are taking legal action in the us against three firms they blame for the fire. the lawsuit will target the cladding maker arconic, insulation maker celotex, and fridge supplier whirlpool. a successful action in the us could cost the firms involved many millions of dollars in damages. 72 people died in the fire in west london, two years ago this friday. and you can hear the response from the firms and the reasons why some survivors haven't signed up to the lawsuit on the victoria derbyshire programme on bbc two and the news channel at 10:00am. there is an appealfor more men in london to donate blood. they currently make up just under half of donars, —— donors, with the nhs saying men's blood can be useful as it generally contains higher levels of iron. it is also easier to match with patients with cancer, major blood loss and burns. and dozens of residents have spent the night in a community centre in barking, after a fire engulfed 20
6:58 am
flats yesterday afternoon. it spread over six floors, with a man and a woman being treated for the effects of smoke inhalation. there are no reports of other injuries, but residents have spoken of how they feel they had a lucky escape from the fire. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes, good service. 0n the roads, in euston, eversholt street is closed next to euston station for repairs to a watermain that burst on saturday. in stoke newington, green lanes is closed between stoke newington church street and newington green, due to a fire affecting a number of buildings.
6:59 am
now the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather wet and unsettled week of weather, i'm afraid, on the cards. today we're waking up to heavy, persistent rain, and eventually, at least it'll feel a little bit cooler. now, the met office has issued a yellow weather warning for this heavy rain —10—25 mm widely. locally, there could be just a little bit more, and that could lead to some localised flooding. so, throughout the course of the day, it stays wet. it doesn't really go anywhere. really not a very pleasant start to the new week, some heavy bursts mixed in there, and the temperature reflects it. 1a celsius the maximum today. with that north—easterly wind, it will feel a lot cooler than it has. now, overnight tonight, you'll notice this rain gradually creeping away westwards. it will dry out as we head through to tuesday morning, to a brighter start tomorrow. minimum temperature not dropping too far from today's maximum, between nine and ten celsius. so there'll be some brighter spells
7:00 am
tomorrow, some sunny spells. temperatures recovering, still a risk of shower, but this week, all in all, stays rather unsettled. i will be back in half—an—hour with our next update. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: the race to be the next prime minister. nominations close later today, but the campaign is still dominated by michael gove's
7:01 am
cocaine confessions. the crown prosecution service is threatened with legal action over claims its secretly decided to bring fewer rape prosecutions. how this appearance on breakfast convinced the bbc‘s technology —— how do you know if you're buying a fake concert ticket? almost 5,000 frauds were reported last year. we'll be finding out what you should be looking out for. a warning this morning about fraudulent websites selling fake or non—existent concert tickets. we'll be finding out what you should be looking out for. the promise of 5g, you will ask me a question, i will hear it immediately. how his parents on the programme, made rory catlinjones open up about his parkinson's diagnosis. good morning from nice. where england began their women's world cup by beating scotland. despite the victory, manager phil neville thinks his side are some way off thinking about winning the tournament.
7:02 am
an unsettled week of weather. heavy rain in the south which will move north and west for the rest of the week. i'll bring you all the details in about 15 minutes. it's monday 10th june. our top story: the deadline for nominations to become the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister closes at 5pm today. the front runner borisjohnson has pledged tax cuts if he wins the race but the environment secretary michael gove is facing more criticism after admitting he took cocaine. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster this morning. jonathan, where does this leave the leadership race? it might feel like its been going on for a long time already but today is the first hurdle for those who want to be our next prime minister to overcome. nominations close and out of the 11 candidates who are standing, they need to show that they have the right level of support. some big markers in the
7:03 am
race already this morning. announcements are coming thick and fast from the candidates. boris johnson, seen as the front runner, promising a tax cut for relatively high earners. he wants to increase the tax threshold for those earning 80,000 a yearor the tax threshold for those earning 80,000 a year or more. a big and expensive promise which will cost about £10 billion paid for, he says, by national insurance contributions and also money set aside for a no—deal brexit. you mentioned michael gove, he is still facing allegations that he took cocaine 20 yea rs allegations that he took cocaine 20 years ago. people call him a hypocrite for criticising middle—class drug users at the same time. also, a big move by amber rudd, the work and pensions secretary, a cabinet heavyweight throwing her support behind jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, saying he isa hunt, the foreign secretary, saying he is a serious leader who will be listened to in brussels. we will hear from listened to in brussels. we will hearfrom a listened to in brussels. we will hear from a lot of the candidates
7:04 am
this morning. 11 in total. they need eight mps supporting them to be officially declared a candidate when nominations close later today. so far we think around six of those have the required numbers but a lot of mps are still to say who they are there to support. come this evening, we will have a better idea of the shape of the race. today is an important day but it will go on for a while? we will have secret ballots here at westminster because it is mps who will narrow this wide field down stop with the ballot happening on thursday. slowly the numbers will drop as further secret ballots are held next week to get the number of candidates down to two and it is a straight head—to—head run—off and its conservative party members who will choose between those final two later on this month to pick the winner who will be our next prime minister. if it feels like this, ——
7:05 am
contest has been going on for a while yet, i'm afraid it isjust getting started. much to look forward to. in a moment, we'll be speaking to leadership hopeful sam gyimah. that's at 7:10. campaigners say they are prepared to take the crown prosecution service to court over claims sexual offence cases are being dropped without good reason. a group of women's organisations have accused it of secretly making a decision to bring fewer rape prosecutions in england and wales. the cps have denied the claims. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. phone messages and social media are now playing an increasingly important part in rape investigations. rebecca says she had some nonhostile exchanges with the man she accused of raping her because she was terrified and he'd threatened her with a knife. but she was told her messages could be misinterpreted by a jury and on the eve of the trial, a prosecutor announced they were dropping the case. she said that the whatsapp
7:06 am
messages were of a concern. and that they didn't think that a jury would believe that he had raped me. i was absolutely devastated, i was retraumatized all over again. i actually felt suicidal. women's organisations say there has been a 173% increase in rape complaints over the past four years but there's also been a aa% drop in cases actually getting to court. this means that only around one in 25 rape complaints result in a prosecution. prosecutors are being encouraged to anticipate what quite a prejudiced jury might think, and therefore, to drop cases that are thought to be weak at an early stage. this is not acceptable, we say it's not lawful and we want it changed and we'll see them in court to get that change if we have to do.
7:07 am
rebecca says she would now deter other women from making a complaint. the cps insists prosecutions are decided solely on evidence and denies there has been any change in approach. june kelly, bbc news. south korea and the uk have reached an agreement in principle which would allow the two sides to keep trading in the event of a no—deal brexit. the preliminary agreement marks the first post—brexit trade deal the uk has secured in asia. both sides said it was a starting point and hoped for a more ambitious deal over the next few months. south korea exports around six billion dollars worth of goods to britain, mostly cars and ships. a10—minute mri scan could soon be offered as part of the uk's first prostate cancer screening programme. the test, which is being trialled in london, would detect the cancer before any symptoms appear, making them quicker, cheaper and more reliable than the blood tests and internal examinations currently being used. 11,000 men in the uk die
7:08 am
from prostate cancer each year. an investigation's been launched into the cause of a fire which badly damaged a block of flats in east london. officials say it was brought under control, after around 100 firefighters were sent to the scene in barking yesterday afternoon. two people were taken to hospital with minor injuries. china has accused "foreign forces" of trying to hurt the country, by inspiring mass protests against a new extradition bill in hong kong. there were violent clashes, when up to a million people took to the streets over plans to allow some suspected criminals to be tried on the chinese mainland. the demonstrators say the move would erode hong kong'sjudicial independence. you mentioned earlier, louise, you area bit you mentioned earlier, louise, you are a bit of a night owl. if given the choice, yes.
7:09 am
if you're a night owl who struggles to get out of bed early, then there's hope. scientists say making slight changes in sleeping habits can shift people's body clocks and improve their wellbeing. 0ur health correspondent, james gallagher, reports. each of us has a clock ticking inside us. 0ur body clock keeps us in time with the rising and the setting of the sun, and it's why we sleep at night. but some people's clocks run later than others. it means life can be hard for night owls. their bodies are hardwired to stay up late into the night, and a morning alarm clock can force them to get up for work hours before their body is ready. the study looked at 21 people who were regularly going to bed after 2:00am. they were instructed to get up and go to bed at the same times every day, do so hours earlier than usual, get loads of sunlight in the morning, and have fixed mealtimes. on average, people who shifted their body clocks two hours earlier were getting the same total shut—eye, but were reporting lower levels of sleepiness,
7:10 am
stress and depression. firstly, it's really important to raise the awareness of the differences we see between people, so our night owls and our morning larks, and help understand that. and secondly, what we're doing is providing some really simple tools, lifestyle interventions, that night owls could use to help shift them earlier, and which had a positive impact on self—reported measures of depression and stress and increased performance at nonoptimal times. the researchers said their methods may seem like obvious advice for good sleep hygiene, but they were surprised how effective such relatively simple strategies were. a song by an alaskan rock group has been revealed as the most played track of last year in the uk. "feel it still", by portugal the man, had more plays on radio,
7:11 am
television and public venues like bars and clubs, according to the music royalty body ppl. ed sheeran was the most played artist of the year, despite not releasing any new music in 2018. i would believe it, i would. iwould believe it, iwould. remind me to show you a picture of ed sheeran. i'll show you quickly. you didn't need to remind me. this is ed sheeran at the age of 15, playing in a field. to a single little toddler. how things have changed. this is him in toronto recently. that's adorable. sorry, ithrew in toronto recently. that's adorable. sorry, i threw that at our camera operator and director. later today we'll be a step closer to knowing who our next prime minister will be, when nominations for the conservative party leadership race close.
7:12 am
hopefuls need the backing of at least eight mps to get through to the first round of votes. one of the 11 candidates to throw their hat in the ring is sam gyimah. this he joins us now from westminster. very good morning to you. i imagine this is an exciting day for you. have you got the backing? you need eight people. i will be at the starting lineup, yes. so you have more than eight? nominations close at five o'clock and then we will make an announcement and declare everything but i'm confident i will be at the starting lineup.” everything but i'm confident i will be at the starting lineup. i say this with respect, sam gyimah, but why have you chosen to throw your hat into the ring? not that many people know very much about you. thank you, that's a good question. while there is a broad range of candidates, there is a very narrow set of views that are being discussed. 0n the big issue of the
7:13 am
day, brexit, all the other candidates are either offering a bit of what theresa may offered or no deal we know that out there in the country there are many other views in terms of how we break the brexit deadlock in parliament. i threw my hat into the ring to offer a broader perspective on the race because there are a lot of people that don't wa nt to there are a lot of people that don't want to see conservative party become a brexit party. and they also don't want to vote forjeremy corbyn. i am offering a second referendum, break the deadlock and show that the conservative party wa nts to show that the conservative party wants to be a broader church. this is the only way we can deliver the country and also win elections. what about getting support for that because that has proved not possible as yet? there is a lot of support for the position in the conservative party. 0bviously, for the position in the conservative party. obviously, the number of
7:14 am
people that feel their membership audley is sceptical but the real truth for all of us is that offering more of the same which is what theresa may did is not going to break the deadlock because may's deal was defeated in the commons. if we are going to break the deadlock, our only option is to go back to the people either in the form of a general election or the form of a new referendum with a new set of questions. although people instinctively think they don't want what i'm offering, is not a question of what we would like what we want, it isa of what we would like what we want, it is a question of what can break the deadlock and move our country on. i would ask you this as well. is this a realistic bid from you, given your experience, to lead the conservative party, to be the next prime minister or is it, as you say,
7:15 am
just to broaden the field? my main purpose, as i said right from the get go, is that the party which can, which is in government and has a responsibility for delivering for the country, not just responsibility for delivering for the country, notjust the conservative party, has to have the broadest possible debate. but of course, you mentioned my experience. thejob i had was a cabinetjob up until theresa may decided to move it out of the cabinet because she didn't, i don't think she wanted to johnson's. joejohnson held didn't, i don't think she wanted to johnson's. joe johnson held the job before me. myjob was a cabinetjob. i want the conservative party to be able to break the deadlock. people are tired and fed up and i think if we turn inward during the course of this debate, retreat into our comfort zone and only talk to other conservatives, we will not be delivering in the national interest. that is why i'm in the race and that is what i want to push us to be able to do.
7:16 am
so you realistically don't think you are going to win this.” so you realistically don't think you are going to win this. i have said i am the underdog's underdog in this race, but that has given me position to be more bold, on brexit, untaxed, on housing policy, i have come up with very radical proposals on that. there are a lot of young people today who cannot get onto the housing ladder, but i have come up with the broadest proposals in this race because i am the underdog, and i think there is a lot to be said for that. can i also ask you what you think should be done, and your take, really, on these revelations over the weekend. and some of these are historic, michael gove said some yea rs are historic, michael gove said some years ago, admitted he had taken cocaine. candidates who have taken illegal drugs before becoming mps, what is your view? well, my view is i never have, so that is it for me.
7:17 am
i think what is unfortunate about the way the debate is going is it is very much around sort of a privileged elite and whether they can do as they want. but the real issue around drugs is, and as a former prisons minister, is the way in which it can ravage our communities and destroy lives. and i would rather be having that debate. the issue is, because of brexit, these are big problems in our communities, but we're not talking about any of those things. i want to break the impasse, i want to do some things that actually matter to people's daily lives. and going back to your point around winning or not winning, i don't think that you need to win the popularity contest in order to show real leadership on an issue. real leadership is being able to ta ke issue. real leadership is being able to take unpopular positions and still make the argument for them, when they are unpopular. and very briefly, there was a whole series of votes. who else who is putting their hat in the ring would you support? who you back? i am still a candidate in the race, so i don't know why you are asking me about supporting other candidates. good to speak to you. we
7:18 am
will see what happens a little later on today. 11, we think, 11 different candidates. and six weeks to find out exactly how we get down to one. here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather. maybe it is slightly easier to predict over the next few days. well, one thing is for sure, and thatis well, one thing is for sure, and that is that we will see some very
7:19 am
u nsettled that is that we will see some very unsettled weather through the course of the week ahead. it is not a washout everywhere, we have some sunshine around, but there is some heavy rain especially today in the south and east. this week that rain will drift its way northwards and westwards. it will also be pretty windy and pretty cool at times as well. in south—east england, east anglia, lincolnshire and the midlands it will be seeing all of the rain today. we already have heavy rain in place. by the end of the day there could be about a month's worth of rainfall in some areas. could well cause some problems, lots of lying water on the roads, for instance, and some localised flooding possible as that rain drift slowly further and westwards. sunshine for much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland, a few heavy showers cropping up here through the afternoon. sunny spells on the west but colder where you have the cloud, the rain, and quite a brisk north—easterly wind developing as well. through the evening and tonight, that wind drift is a little further northwards and westwards. it will clear away from the south—east of england and east anglia overnight, but a very soggy start to your tuesday across much of the midlands, wales, down towards the south—west of england as well. scotla nd south—west of england as well. scotland and northern ireland having not a bad day tomorrow, some sunny spells, a few showers across the north of scotland. further south, there is that slow—moving, heavy, persistent band of rain across northern england, wales and the south—west. a few heavy showers cropping up across the far south and south—east of england as well, some thunderstorms combined with those gusty winds as well. temperatures underneath the cloud and the rain
7:20 am
stuck at around 12 or 13 degrees, a little bit warmer in these sunny spells. through tuesday to thursday, the emphasis of the heavy rain drift a bit further north. much of north—east england prone to seeing up north—east england prone to seeing up to around 80 millimetres, that could be problematic over the next few days. wednesday's rain predominantly across northern england, southern scotland, some heavy showers developing to the south of that. in the sunny spells, 17 or 18 degrees, but still on the cool side where you have got the rain and the north—easterly wind as well. so low pressure really driving a weather through the course of this week. gradually, it willjust be drifting a little bit further northwards. so that when the front would bring rain across parts of scotla nd would bring rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland through the day of thursday. england and wales will see a mix of some sunshine, but also some heavy, thundery showers. could be some hail, and again that risk of some localised flooding. still rather cool localised flooding. still rather cool, with temperatures generally in the mid— teens for many of us as well stop a pretty unsettled week ahead, but today, at least, there will be some sunshine. if you are
7:21 am
lucky enough to see it, for northern england, scotland and northern ireland as well stop thank you for that. quite a bit of blue on that, isn't there? let's take a look at today's front pages. michael gove's admission over the weekend that he took cocaine on several occasions 20 years ago dominates many of the front pages. the daily mail claims mr gove remains undaunted by accusations of hypocrisy over the story. the i claims mr gove's place in the tory leadership race is now threatened, but adds the environment secretary's key supporters have stayed loyal. the mirror chooses to lead with baroness warsi's verdict that mr gove must pull out of the race to be prime minister. the former tory chair brands mr gove a hypocrite for demanding stronger drug laws in an article he wrote in 1999. the telegraph instead focuses on the policies of mr gove's leadership rival, borisjohnson. the former foreign secretary has revealed plans to cut income tax if he becomes prime minister. he claims he will increase the threshold for the a0% rate from £50,000 to £80,000.

7:24 am
are you giving me those highs as if to say shut up, walker? it could be interesting for london's tech week, project scarlet. it is a good segue, it is just project scarlet. it is a good segue, it isjust a project scarlet. it is a good segue, it is just a long segue. big news from london at tech week, and do you know what a unicorn tech firm or company is? are they very large? they are tech firms with $1 billion or more. they are so cold because they grow quickly, in one direction. we now have 72 of these in the uk, which means we are only lagging behind china and the us. what i think really interesting about this is that in six cities outside london, oxford, manchester, leeds, and edinburgh, they have at least two unicorns. they are expecting further investment in
7:25 am
tech, the prime minister looking to leave legacies at the moment and she hopes tech will be one of them, £1.2 billion from external investment is expected, and she will double the 70 million promised in new generation computers. some critics saying that is great, but the 0ecd saying we are brilliant at starting tech companies, the third best in the world, but when it comes to growing them outwards and improving productivity and employment that comes with it, we are not good at that part, so that is where the investment needs to go. a new three—part series about tackling plastic waste is launched on bbc one tonight. it's called war on plastic. part of the show investigates whether businesses like shops and petrol stations are prepared to refill customers' water bottles for free. we sent our very own

7:30 am
a yellow weather warning for this heavy rain —10—25 mm widely. locally, there could be just a little bit more, and that could lead to some localised flooding. so, throughout the course of the day, it stays wet. it doesn't really go anywhere. really not a very pleasant start to the new week, some heavy bursts mixed in there, and the temperature reflects it. 1a celsius the maximum today. with that north—easterly wind, it will feel a lot cooler than it has. now, overnight tonight, you'll notice this rain gradually creeping away westwards. it'll dry out, as we head through to tuesday morning, to a brighter start tomorrow. minimum temperature not dropping too far from today's maximum, between nine and ten celsius. so there'll be some brighter spells tomorrow, some sunny spells. temperatures recovering, still a risk of shower, but this week, all in all, stays rather unsettled. there is more on the fire in barking with vanessa feltz. 0ur reporter is in the area. goodbye for now.

7:39 am
public with that news, after some viewers noticed his hand shaking during a live report here on bbc breakfast. here is that moment. the problem with 5g, you will have five — make an upgrade. the broader promise is all sorts of services being made prop —— all sorts of objects being connected. that is the promise. it is still a long way away. that's the first time i have seen that bit of the clip. so many people watching got in touch. seen that bit of the clip. so many people watching got in touchm wasn't the first time i had had a bit of a shaky hand. that time i checked twitter and somebody had noticed it. i was slightly aware of it. then i was on the train to do
7:40 am
some more filming about 5g and a great producer i work with, priya, she wanted a quick word. she wondered if i'd ever thought of going public. knowing a few people had spotted it, i suddenly became aware that probably a lot of people had spotted it so ijust went aware that probably a lot of people had spotted it so i just went with it, bashed out a tweet and there it was. we have the tweet. when people saw that tweet, what was the reaction? my phone was going mad. it went viral. lots of lovely m essa g es mad. it went viral. lots of lovely messages which was really encouraging. it kept pouring in. people wanting to talk about it. i had to get on with my day and getting a piece together for the six 0'clock news is always a challenge. i was trying to focus. it was quite
7:41 am
overwhelming. i suppose i sort of slightly anticipated but didn't expect the scale of the reaction.” wa nt to expect the scale of the reaction.” want to show you another film. this is back in last october. another period on bbc. somebody got into —— touch with you on the back of this appearance? i did a live from jersey. make breakfast sent me to jersey. make breakfast sent me to jersey to do the fulljersey island. i was doing a live broadcast. there iam.i i was doing a live broadcast. there i am. i didn't notice anything at that stage. late last year, i was beginning to worry about something. i was dragging my foot as i walked andi i was dragging my foot as i walked and i knew that something wasn't right. i didn't notice anything at the time but after that broadcast, somebody didn't write to me, they wrote to the bbc, a doctor, and they
7:42 am
said maybe you should see somebody about this. he was a neurologist. he wrote to the bbc and the bbc passed it on. i had arranged an appointment with my gp at that stage but hadn't seen a consultant. it was just another sign. which is quite something. so tell me, you noticed you were dragging your foot. it is it important for people to look out for these signs? you assume something is funny that is going on. for me, i used to run. i had a bad running injury a few years ago. this dragging the foot was just the latest. and i was noticing this hand was different to this hand and i was finding it hard to type. it was a gradual awareness. the symptoms are not obvious at first. my wife
7:43 am
thought i just had not obvious at first. my wife thought ijust had bad posture and couldn't walk properly. it wasn't very obvious but i became more aware as the year went on that something was wrong. i imagine that yourjob is technology correspondent, you have been to see stories about parkinson's. the irony is i saw a story last year — back last year i did a story about al being used to detect parkinson's. it filmed somebody opening and closing their hands regularly and i watched it happening behind my camera person and thought i wonder if i should get filmed doing that because i can feel that myself. so yeah, being involved in the technology world, knowing there is a lot of research going on
7:44 am
research into alleviated —— alleviating the sit symptoms. how does it affect you otherwise, apart from your hand? i sent a joke e-mail around the office when i got diagnosed saying i am carrying on in normal but i won't be carrying on the tribe anymore. these reporters know that carrying a great heavy piece of kit for a camera is a rite of passage — make wrote to be carrying the tripod. —— won't be carrying the tripod. —— won't be carrying the tripod. i have always been a terrible typist, i've got worse. it is not affecting the way i work. i know you have had so much of support from people out there and you just talking about it is helping other people as well. yes, and it is a frightening diagnosis, i think. it is worth talking about. it is worth
7:45 am
getting out there. i have read —— read things about people who haven't felt able to tell their employers, for instance, about it. a story about somebody quite young because people get it quite young, who hadn't told their employer and they hadn't told their employer and they had been sacked for underperformance at work which is really sad so i think openness about it can only be positive. you've had thousands of supportive messages on social media. i know you responded to that one, and dame when the —— dame wendy hall says... and if you are says... and on being on —— of viewer says. and we're talking about project scarlet,
7:46 am
which is maybe a0 times more powerful than we have currently. louise is rolling her eyes at me, but it is quite big news, isn't it? this is coming out at the e3 games conference, i can remember being there 12 years ago when they announced the xbox 360 and playstation 3 at the same event, and back then it was thought that maybe those would be the last big video games consoles, because were going to move beyond the console, so it is extraordinary that microsoft last night unveiled this plan for a brand—new device coming out next year. eight k video, all sorts of bells and whistles. so the console war is still going on. sony itself talking about a playstation five. always lovely having you on bbc brea kfast, always lovely having you on bbc breakfast, thank you very much indeed. here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather.
7:47 am
good morning to you. it is a day of mixed fortunes today, some of us have heavy rain, especially in the south and east, and through the week many parts of the uk will see that
7:48 am
u nsettled, many parts of the uk will see that unsettled, wet and windy weather set to continue. today it is mostly the south—east of england, east anglia, lincolnshire and the east midlands which will see up to a month's worth of rainfall, 60 millimetres or so. we already have the rain across the south—eastern third of the uk, slowly moving its way north and west words. but this area of rain is going to be pretty slow—moving, so lots of standing water, some spray on the roads out there today. further north and west, lots of dry and fine weather, a few showers for scotla nd and fine weather, a few showers for scotland and northern ireland but temperatures in belfast, 17 degrees in the sunny spells, cooler with the rain. a north—easterly wind developing as we head on into the evening and overnight. through tonight, that rain drifts its way gradually further north and west, so it will clear eventually from the south—east of england and east anglia. further north, largely dry, a few showers across northern parts of scotland, but i'll start to the day tomorrow. we have rain from the word go affecting parts of the midlands, north—west england, wales and the south—west of england as well. drier in the south—east but we could see heavy and possibly thundery showers developing. further north, mostly dry for much of scotla nd north, mostly dry for much of scotland and northern ireland. 0ne or two showers but the wind will be a noticeable feature. temperature is about 12 or 13 under that band of rain, we could see 19 in the south—east. later in the week, the emphasis of the heaviest of the rain d rifts emphasis of the heaviest of the rain drifts further northwards. 80 millimetres possible for the north—east of england through the course of tuesday, towards thursday as well. that rain on wednesday sitting across much of northern england and northern ireland as well, into southern scotland as
7:49 am
well, into southern scotland as well, northern scotland probably largely dry. some heavy showers developing further south across england and wales. low pressure very much in the driving seat. it will be just drifting its way slowly further northwards later on this week, so by the time we get to thursday, much of that rain is likely across scotland and northern ireland, with a mixture of sunshine, heavy showers for england and wales. could be the odd rumble of thunder, so be prepared for more heavy rain for many of us as we had through this week. localised flooding could well be a problem. thank you very much, there is quite a bit of rain about, but thank you very much. and we are talking about fraudulent concert tickets. it isa about fraudulent concert tickets. it is a treat, and that treat is ruined, isn't it? you can imagine this is totally heartbreaking. you save your hard earned for a concert, and the ticket is fake. according to the national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre, action fraud, there have been nearly 5,000 reports of ticket fraud over the past year. this is where fraudsters pose as an official online agent for a music concert or festival, but they they either fail to send out tickets, or send fake ones. that is what happened tojuliette
7:50 am
and daughter sophie london. they were really excited when they thoughts they had bought vip tickets for an ariana grande concert. i was targeted through my twitter profile as somebody who likes concerts, and sophie was looking for ariana tickets, and so i phoned them up. iwas ariana tickets, and so i phoned them up. i was asked to pay by bank tra nsfer to up. i was asked to pay by bank transfer to guarantee that they would buy the tickets, they told me it would be refundable if they weren't able to get the tickets. in total i lost £85a. i have recovered the credit card element, but i felt physically sick, and i didn't know how i was going to tell sophie that i'd lost her hard earned money. s i didn't want to get out of bed for four days, i didn't want to talk to anyone, ijust four days, i didn't want to talk to anyone, i just wanted four days, i didn't want to talk to anyone, ijust wanted to stay in bed andi anyone, ijust wanted to stay in bed and i felt depressed anyone, ijust wanted to stay in bed and ifelt depressed because i hadn't looked forward to something i hadn't looked forward to something i had saved up for and it got taken away. although the overall number of these reported frauds is down, action fraud says it sees spikes ahead of the big summer music festivals. inspector paul carroll
7:51 am
is from the city of london police's national fraud intelligence bureau, which investigates these frauds. very good morning to you, thank you for joining very good morning to you, thank you forjoining us. just explain how it works and how people are sucked in. well, fraudsters are quite intelligent people, they can create websites that look very real. it could be on the website address, it could be on the website address, it could be on the website address, it could be one letter that is slightly different to the normal address, and people are fooled by these scams. how do we stay one step ahead? because they are increasingly sophisticated, aren't they? yes, absolutely, absolutely. so we do ask people to take time, look at that web address. is there a letter that is slightly different? actually, if you are going to be parting with your financial personal details, the web address should have http s at the start of it, and there should be an icon like a small lock in the corner of the address panel, so
7:52 am
please look out for these. just look at the quality of a site, ask your friends. take five, take five minutes to have a look at that website and make sure it is legit. not always possible, is it, when they have those timers and the clock counting down and you feel under pressure to purchase. absolutely, and this is what technology does. it can bea and this is what technology does. it can be a best friend or it can be our worst enemy. everything is at the touch of a button, and we do make quick decisions when using hand—held devices and the like. so yes, we do emphasise, please take that time, speak to your family, speak to your friends, because like you just heard, loss of £800 is a lot of money to a lot of people. and finally, if people have made this mistake, and let's face it, it could happen to a lot of people, what rights do they have to get their money back? well, we do ask people to try and use their credit card where possible. use pay systems such as paypal, that way you do have a
7:53 am

7:54 am
in front of a crowd of around 95,000 in mexico's azteca stadium, as the captain of an unofficial england world cup squad. when was the last time you saw the team? a8 years ago. have you ever seen any footage? i've seen nothing, no. we have a treat. fantastic, fantastic. grainy footage shows the girls arriving in mexico, vast crowds in the stadium to see them play, a competition which to this day holds the record for attendance at any women's game. is it emotional? brace yourself, then. ladies! 0h. oh, god. for the very first time in almost 50 years, we've been able to runite
7:55 am
—— reunite captain with her team. i was 16. we were just overwhelmed. it was just such a big occasion. we came downstairs, off the plane, and all lights were in our faces. and i leaned back to one of the girls and i said, there's someone famous on this plane. and it was us. but, while mexico went wild, britain had turned its back. i think there was one photographer. the fa was just dead against us, and when we came back, i was banned for three months from playing, and about a year later i gave up football. that is tragic. in fact, they all faced a ban for daring to represent their country. they had been led by maverick manager harry batt, a visionary who created a women's national team, when the official governing body still hadn't gotten around to creating their own. i feel very fortunate,
7:56 am
but i think of all the girls that never got the opportunity, in their lives, just because somebody wants to ban them. i'm the one in the middle, with the ponytail. i don't understand. this is me at the end. these were the women that dared to dream big when others lacked that vision. i was born too soon. if i was born and was sort of 15, 16, the world would be my oyster, and i want that for my granddaughters. these were the trailblazers and the rule—breakers who beat a path for today's game. and this is me, captain, 1971. get in! love that she still has the skills, obviously. we have had a lovely set
7:57 am
of m essa g es obviously. we have had a lovely set of messages about that this morning, as well. for those of you enjoying the women's world cup on the bbc but also reflecting on what things were like a few years back. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the bbc has learned that dozens of grenfell survivors and relatives are taking legal action in the us against three firms they blame for the fire. the lawsuit will target the cladding maker arconic, insulation maker celotex, and fridge supplier whirlpool. a successful action in the us could cost the firms involved many millions of dollars in damages. 72 people died in the fire in west london two years ago this friday. and you can hear the response from the firms and the reasons why some survivors haven't signed up to the lawsuit on the victoria derbyshire programme on bbc two and the news channel at 10:00. there is an appealfor more men in london to donate blood. they currently make up just
7:58 am
under half of donars, with the nhs saying men's blood can be useful as it generally contains higher levels of iron. it is also easier to match with patients with cancer, major blood loss and burns. dozens of residents have spent the night in a community centre in barking after a fire engulfed 20 flats yesterday afternoon. it spread over six floors, with a man and a woman being treated for the effects of smoke inhalation. residents have spoken of their lucky escape. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes, good service.
7:59 am
0n the roads, in euston, eversholt street is closed next to euston station for repairs to a watermain that burst on saturday. in stoke newington, green lanes is closed between stoke newington church street and newington green due to a fire affecting a number of buildings. now the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather wet and unsettled week of weather, i'm afraid, on the cards. today we're waking up to heavy, persistent rain, and eventually, at least, it will feel a little bit cooler. now, the met office has issued a yellow weather warning for this heavy rain —10—25 mm widely. locally, there could be just a little bit more, and that could lead to some localised flooding. so, throughout the course of the day, it stays wet. it doesn't really go anywhere. really not a very pleasant start to the new week, some heavy bursts mixed in there, and the temperature reflects it. 1a celsius the maximum today. with that north—easterly wind, it will feel a lot cooler than it has. now, overnight tonight, you'll notice this rain gradually creeping away westwards. it'll dry out, as we head
8:00 am
through to tuesday morning, to a brighter start tomorrow. minimum temperature not dropping too far from today's maximum, between nine and ten celsius. so there'll be some brighter spells tomorrow, some sunny spells. temperatures recovering, still a risk of shower, but this week, all in all, stays rather unsettled. well, that's it. vanessa phelps's brea kfast well, that's it. vanessa phelps's breakfast show is on bbc radio london until 10am and i will good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. the race to be the next prime minister — nominations close later today — but the campaign is still dominated by michael gove's cocaine confessions. the crown prosecution service is threatened with legal action over claims its secretly decided
8:01 am
to bring fewer rape prosecutions. good morning. could you find a fiver to help your high street? as the latest footfall figures show further drops — i'll look at a new scheme designed to tempt shoppers back. good morning from nice where england began their women's world cup by beating scotland. despite the victory, manager phil neville thinks his side are some way off thinking about winning the tournament. good morning, it is an unsettled week of weather ahead. some places could see a month's worth of rainfall ina could see a month's worth of rainfall in a short space of time and flooding could be an issue today in the south—east of england and east anglia. i will have more details in about 15 minutes. good morning. it's monday 10th june. our top story. the deadline for nominations to become the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister closes at 5pm today. at the front runner, boris
8:02 am
johnson, has pledged tax cuts if he wins the race but the environment secretary michael gove is facing more criticism after admitting he took cocaine. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster this morning. jonathan, where does this leave the leadership race? after this weekend and all those accusations, allegations around ? todayis accusations, allegations around ? today is an important day because it is when we will find out who has the required level of support to officially stand in the race to be leader of the conservative party. announcements coming thick and fast. borisjohnson seen as the frontrunner of this morning saying he would give a tax cut to around 3 million higher earners by raising the threshold of a0% income tax to £80,000 a year. michael gove are still facing questions and accusations about his cocaine use about 20 years ago. will he stay in the race and how far will that hang over his campaign, and amber rudd, cabinet heavyweight, throwing her support behind jeremy hunt, foreign secretary. we will hear from lots of the other candidates today and we'll
8:03 am
find out around 5pm this evening who has the required level of support. they need eight mps backing them to officially enter the race. we think around six of them so far have that much support. take us through the process. there are various different votes ahead. yes, it begins on thursday when candidates will be voted on by conservative mps. that will be the first of several secret ballots at westminster when tory mps will whittle the wide field of candidates down to two and a further series of secret ballots next week with candidates dropping out at each stage, and then later on this month, conservative party membership as a whole will vote between the two final candidates, and we should have a winner, the next leader of the conservative party, and our next prime minister should be known in the fourth week ofjuly. so if it feels like this contest has been going on for a while it is onlyjust
8:04 am
getting started. thank you very much indeed. campaigners say they are prepared to take the crown prosecution service to court over claims sexual offence cases are being dropped without good reason. a group of women's organisations have accused it of secretly making a decision to bring fewer rape prosecutions in england and wales. the cps have denied the claims. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. phone messages and social media are now playing an increasingly important part in rape investigations. rebecca says she had some non—hostile exchanges with the man she accused of raping her because she was terrified and he'd threatened her with a knife. but she was told her messages could be misinterpreted by a jury and on the eve of the trial, a prosecutor announced they were dropping the case. she said that the whatsapp messages were of a concern. and that they didn't think that a jury would believe that he had raped me.
8:05 am
i was absolutely devastated, i was retraumatised all over again. i actually felt suicidal. women's organisations say there has been a 173% increase in rape complaints over the past four years but there's also been a aa% drop in cases actually getting to court. this means that only around one in 25 rape complaints result in a prosecution. prosecutors are being encouraged to anticipate what quite a prejudiced jury might think, and therefore, to drop cases that are thought to be weak at an early stage. this is not acceptable, we say it's not lawful and we want it changed and we'll see them in court to get that change if we have to. rebecca says she would now deter other women from making a complaint. the cps insists prosecutions are decided solely on evidence and denies there has been any change in approach. june kelly, bbc news.
8:06 am
south korea and the uk have reached an agreement in principle which would allow the two sides to keep trading in the event of a no—deal brexit. the preliminary agreement marks the first post—brexit trade deal the uk has secured in asia. both sides said it was a starting point and hoped for a more ambitious deal over the next few months. south korea exports around $6 billion worth of goods to us, mostly cars and ships. a ten—minute mri scan could soon be offered as part of the uk's first prostate cancer screening programme. the test, which is being trialled in london, would detect the cancer before any symptoms appear, making them quicker, cheaper and more reliable than the blood tests and internal examinations currently being used. 11,000 men in the uk die from prostate cancer each year. an investigation's been launched into the cause of a fire which badly damaged a block of flats in east
8:07 am
london. officials say it was brought under control, after around 100 firefighters were sent to the scene in barking yesterday. two people were treated at the scene with minor injuries. china has accused foreign forces of trying to hurt the country, by inspiring mass protests against a new extradition bill in hong kong. there were violent clashes, when up to one million people took to the streets over plans to allow some suspected criminals to be tried on the chinese mainland. the demonstrators say the move would erode hong kong's judicial independence. if you're a night owl who struggles to get out of bed early, then there's hope. as louise would do. yes. there is hope for you and others. scientists say making slight changes in sleeping habits can shift people's body clocks and improve their wellbeing. 0ur health correspondent, james gallagher reports. each of us has a clock ticking inside us. 0ur body clock keeps us in time with the rising
8:08 am
and the setting of the sun, and it's why we sleep at night. but some people's clocks run later than others. it means life can be hard for night owls. their bodies are hard—wired to stay up late into the night, and a morning alarm clock can force them to get up for work hours before their body is ready. the study looked at 21 people who were regularly going to bed after 2:00am. they were instructed to get up and go to bed at the same times every day, do so hours earlier than usual, get loads of sunlight in the morning, and have fixed mealtimes. on average, people who shifted their body clocks two hours earlier were getting the same total shut—eye, but were reporting lower levels of sleepiness, stress and depression. firstly, it's really important to raise the awareness of the differences we see between people, so our night owls and our morning larks, and help understand that. and secondly, what we're doing is providing some really simple tools, lifestyle interventions, that night owls could use to help shift them earlier,
8:09 am
and which had a positive impact on self—reported measures of depression and stress and increased performance at non—optimal times. the researchers said their methods may seem like obvious advice for good sleep hygiene, but they were surprised how effective such relatively simple strategies were. james gallagher, bbc news. a song by an alaskan rock group has been revealed as the most played track of last year in the uk. you will know it. # i'm you will know it. #i'ma you will know it. # i'm a rebeljust for kicks # i'm a rebeljust for kicks # i've been feeling it since 1966... # feel it still by portugal the man, had more plays on radio, television and public venues like bars and clubs, according to the music royalty body ppl. ed sheeran was the most played artist of the year, despite not releasing any new music in 2018. # i'm in love with the shape of
8:10 am
you... # didn't have enough of ed sheeran. do you want a bit more ed sheeran in your life? 0ur director is not an ed sheeran fan which is why she pulled it after 1.5 seconds. he had a lot of radio play last year so don't worry! it is eight to 10am. good morning, you are watching breakfast from the bbc. —— 8:10am. it's cheap, durable and makes our lives more convenient in countless ways. but plastic is also causing huge damage to our planet. tonight, a new three—part series is launched on bbc one. it's called war on plastic and it's presented by anita rani. before we speak to her, let's see anita giving us an idea of the scale of the problem — by showing how much plastic she has in her own cupboards. i think she is brave for doing this. da—da—da! the cupboard under the sink! plastic, scouring pads, all my cleaning products. food bags. i don't know what that is. why did i agree to do this? ok, so i have a lot of plastic.
8:11 am
the question is, what's good and what's bad? we know carrier bags are bad. but method man and maryj blige, that's some of the best plastic in the world right there. plastic is light, strong and incredibly durable. mwah! for things we use over and over again, it's a wonder material. have we seen enough? but we often use itjust once to hold food or for things like toiletries. these are so handy but they're so bad. we're using a material that lasts for centuries forjust a few days or weeks. and then we throw it away. this is the problem right here. anita joins us now. good morning. why did i do that? why didi good morning. why did i do that? why did i let them into my own home?! you are not unusual, are you? shocked by how much you had? yes. shocked. the programme goes out this
8:12 am
morning and we are looking into single use plastic and i work with a brilliant street in east bristol to see how we can, can we, ordinary humans reduce the amount of plastic in our lives? humans reduce the amount of plastic in ourlives? i humans reduce the amount of plastic in our lives? i thought i will let them into my own home, i thought if i'm going to film in other people's homes i thought i've got to do it myself and it's shocking how much you have and once you see it you cannot un—see it. the first thing we did with the street, they were brilliant, they let us into their homes and we said to them, let us count how much plastic you have got, so we do this thing where we go in with loads of people and count how much plastic people have got in the kitchen, bathroom, garden shed, it is absolutely everywhere, it is a river. i suppose if you extrapolate that across the rest of the uk and think about how much we have all got in our homes. i'm sure if you went back today and have a look now after watching this it is everywhere. that's exactly what will happen tonight, we count how much they have and multiply it. i do remove the figure but i'm not going to give it away. it is shocking. one of the
8:13 am
other things you do in the programme is you go out and buy ingredients for spaghetti bolognese, don't you? you were allowed to buy wrapped in plastic and the others didn't buy wrapped in plastic and what you found actually price—wise was also shocking. so, what we found is that a third of our single use plastic packaging comes from supermarkets. 800,000 tonnes of the stuff comes from supermarkets, and i'm sure everybody watching nose, even if you wa nt to everybody watching nose, even if you want to buy without plastic, you can't sometimes in the supermarket. we thought, let's see what we can do, buy ingredients for a spaghetti bolognese and we found it is more expensive often if you want to buy the stuff loose than it is in plastic, which makes no sense whatsoever and it makes you wonder, where is the real incentive and choice if you don't want to buy stuff in plastic? talking about a supermarket, you went to tesco hq as well to meet the woman in charge of all packaging. yes. the group
8:14 am
quality director, greatjob, sarah bradbury was her name, and you took some evidence. let's see what happened. i was in one of your tesco stores today and i want you to see what i bought. i bought three peppers and these ones were that much. three peppers, there we go, now, which ones would you choose to buy if you had the choice? so, i know that these would be the loose products and these would be the products and these would be the products that were in the packaging. so, what we have got loose at the moment is slightly bigger varieties of products, however, we are looking at this because we absolutely recognise we need to encourage customers to buy without packaging. but what's going to happen? i mean, what's going to happen? they are not alone in that. they are not alone, lots of the supermarkets do the same. tesco said, come and speak to us same. tesco said, come and speak to us and they took us to a couple of stores where they are trialling
8:15 am
selling more loose products. i think the british public have switched onto something here. what they have told us is, we will respond to consumer demand and we can do it quickly if we feel there is a demand. well, let's see what happens after the programme goes out tonight. i've been talking to the people on the street and there is definitely a demand. you know how many arguments happen over recycling in people's homes. wejust don't wa nt to in people's homes. wejust don't want to have to... we want to firstly know what we should be doing that's right, but the best thing we found that could happen is if we just somehow reduce it from the system in the first place. it is something we can all do, isn't it? last week, we talked, i think it is one supermarket is trialling having cereals. you take your own packaging and plop it in there. morrisons are doing paper bags, aren't they? exactly, and a waitrose in oxford is selling unpackaged stuff as well. and my local sales things loose where you take your own containers
8:16 am
in. people are trialling it but it's about the demand coming from us.” watched a programme come the other thing you have done, which again shakes you up a bit, which is to look where our so—called recycling actually goes. yes, absolutely. you have worked with hugh fearnley—whittingstall.” have worked with hugh fearnley-whittingstall. i worked with a street in bristol and he has done what he does brilliantly, looking at it on a global scale, looking at it on a global scale, looking at it on a global scale, looking at corporations, taking it toa looking at corporations, taking it to a government level and he went to malaysia to see this rubbish dump, found bags from uk local authorities and uk supermarket shopping bags. so, we're doing what we absolutely should be doing. we are doing the right thing which is putting our recycling where we think it should go and then it ends up in places like malaysia where it's not being dealt with properly. the whole system has just got to change, hasn't it? absolutely. i cannot wait for people to see it tonight because hue is fantastic and he goes to see
8:17 am
michael gove and talks to him. —— hugh. it is exciting. what i want to say before this goes out, as a nation we are switched on to plastic and we know the damage it is doing and we know the damage it is doing and we know the damage it is doing and we don't want it and we need to get rid of it somehow, but what can we do? we have never really thought about what is possible for us to do. so tonight i hope people feel a bit more empowered and a bit more switched on. there are three episodes to come, four, there will be won later in the year. excellent. thank you very much, it is very insightful. thank you! you have your name in the title as well. you can tell you have named el mac made it! your life changes! war on plastic with hugh and anita is on bbc one tonight at 9pm.
8:18 am
i used to think the cricket programme with david gower was the best name to programme because it told you who presented it and what it was and when it was on. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, not very pleasant conditions, we have heavy rain, this is the scene this morning in london, some really soggy conditions, of lying surface water around. we are not all going to see the rain today, lots of dry weather towards the north and west but through this week the unsettled theme continues for many parts of the uk. heavy rain around at times and also turning quite windy, and staying rather cool for the time of year as well. today's rainfall will mainly be across the south—east of england, east anglia, lincolnshire too. some spots could see up to 60 millimetres, and that's about a month's worth of rainfalljust today. slow moving, heavy, persistent rain across the south—eastern third of the uk, drifting further northwards and westwards. much of northern england, scotla nd westwards. much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland seeing a lot of sunshine but they will be scattered and heavy showers and
8:19 am
perhaps the odd rumble of thunder across central parts of scotland and northern ireland. 17 degrees in belfast, colder where you have the wind, rain and cloud as well. this evening and overnight, eventually the rain clears from the south—east of england and east anglia pushing into parts of yorkshire, through wales, the south—west of england, so very wet over night tonight and quite windy. scotland and northern ireland, dryer here, but a few showers across the north of scotland. through the day tomorrow, the weather front is slow—moving, sitting across much of north—eastern england, down towards wales and the south—west of england too. to the south—east of it it will be drier but there will be a few heavy, isolated showers building through the day and the windows are a feature of the weather coming in from the north—easterly direction so feeling rather chilly, 12 or 13 degrees particularly along the eastern coasts, touch warmer until the sunshine comes out in the south—east but more heavy rain later this week, especially affecting parts of the north—east of england, so those rainfall totals mounting up, could be another 80 millimetres
8:20 am
across parts of northern england. 0n wednesday we have the weather front bringing rain to parts of northern england and northern ireland, further south across england and wales sunny spells and scattered heavy showers with the odd rumble of thunder around. to the north of the weather front northern scotland having not a bad day, rather cool and cloudy but low pressure very much in the driving seat, dominating the weather this week, slowly drifting further northwards towards the latter part of the week, so i think on thursday we will see the rain pushing across scotland, northern ireland too. england and wales should start dry but we will see heavy showers once again bubbling up through the day and there could be the odd rumble of thunder and some hail and still the potential ftse and some flooding. i think the weather will cause some disruption this week. we are not all going to see the rain today, mostly towards the south and east but keep an eye on the forecast certainly over the next few days. dan and louise.
8:21 am
here is a statistic which is shocking actually. 11,000 men in the uk die from prostate cancer every year. now its hoped a new ten—minute mri scan will help detect the cancer earlier and save lives. the test, which would be routinely offered to men in their late—50s, should detect signs of the disease before any symptoms appear. let's talk now to professor caroline moore, from university college london, who's leading the trial. good morning. potentially, this is a massive game change, isn't it? yes, that's right. so, the traditional screening programmes using just a blood test and then a standard biopsy don't detect enough of the cancers that could kill you, and u nfortu nately, detect cancers that could kill you, and unfortunately, detect quite a few of the low risk cancers where treatment can cause more harm than good. you did a little bit for us there but in terms of comparing it to the test that many men will undergo currently, the blood test, how much more accurate is it? we don't know and that's the point of the trial. we know that when you have a raised
8:22 am
blood test, an mri is much more efficient at finding important cancers. it finds nearly twice as many cancers as just a standard biopsy. but we don't know what will happen if we move the mri test into the screening population rather than men who have already got a high psa. reading a little bit more about it, one of your colleagues talked about it being simple and if it worked and was effective, of having a test in a supermarket car park. is that the dream really? to get it done on a scale like that? yes, that's right. with other screening programmes offering high quality screening tests in large volumes are what is needed to make it effective. mri is more complicated than just a simple blood test. but it's so still can be done at a larger scale and with a shorter scan. when you are trying to fund and get support for a programme like this do you have to work out how many lives you may be able to
8:23 am
save? have you done that? what are the figures and can you share them with us? we do look at that and we know that at the moment around 6000 men a year are diagnosed with late stage cancer where it is not curable and we know that if we could detect those men at an earlier stage where it would be curable we would be in a much better position. the finer details of why we need the first study to work things out. if somebody is watching this this morning thinking this could be interesting for my future and others that i know, if it is successful, what are we looking at in terms of potential roll out time? the trial is due to finish in about three yea rs' is due to finish in about three years' time. to get things into a national programme it would need a couple of years after that, so some men in london will be invited in the next three years and once we have worked things out it will be sometime after that before there is any national roll—out. sometime after that before there is any national roll-out. really interesting. thank you very much, professor caroline moore with more
8:24 am
detail about what we have been talking about this morning, new test on prostate can so. if that works out as she talked about, it could save quite a few lives in the uk and potentially beyond that as well. it is 8:2aam. nina is back. it's the start of london tech week — and there's some extra money for the uk's technology sector being announced today by theresa may. two bits of good news, we talked about unicorn firms earlier and explained they are not fictitious, they are not called that because they are not called that because they are not called that because they are fictitious, but they grow really quickly in one direction and make lots of money and they are typically worth $1 billion or more, or £780 million. the good news in the uk as we have 72 of those putting us in third place behind china and america, way ahead of any other european country. what i think it's really interesting as there are six cities outside london that have two or more unit confirms, cambridge, 0xford, manchester, leeds, bristol and edinburgh, so the tech boom is spreading its tentacles outside london which is great news. as you said we have fresh investment
8:25 am
coming in, the prime minister wants to leave tech as one of her final legacy is so she is expected to announce £1.2 billion of external investment at london tech week but also £70 million promised by the chancellor last year, she said she will double that to put into quantum computing, the next generation of computers which will be faster and bigger than the ones we have at the minute, some critics are saying that we are good at the unicorn spikes but not good at broadening out the wealth, so although our start—ups go well they don't then develop and create jobs outside of that and their productivity. they are worth a lot of money, these household names? these unicorn companies? one of them would be deliveroo. i love the way that that reminded you! it is typically ones that bring out new apps. typically ones that bring out new apps, or ones that use money to go between different countries. what it means is these can often be companies that are brexit proofed because the money is transferred
8:26 am
