6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: heathrow unveils details of its controversial third runway. it could mean tens of thousands of extra flights into one of the world's busiest airports. from rerouting the m25 to environmental issues and taking down local homes, there are plenty of people worried about the impact of these heathrow plans. the united states is to send an extra thousand troops to the middle east amid rising tensions with iran. it's a knockout. conservative mps prepare to whittle down the number of leadership contenders. in sport, more controversial decisions from the video assistant referee at the women's world cup.
6:01 am
a retaken penalty gives hosts france a win over nigeria and could be a huge boost to scotland's chances of progressing. and who could resist those puppy eyes? but did dogs develop a sad look to help them bond with humans? good morning. today we are looking at some sunshine and showers across scotla nd at some sunshine and showers across scotland and northern ireland. although it is a dry start for most across england and wales, later we will see showery rayner moving northwards, some will be heavy and thundery, followed by some torrential thunderstorms for some. i will have more details in 15 minutes —— and rainy. good morning. it's tuesday, the 18thjune. our top story: heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, will publish details of its expansion plans this morning. the project to build a third runway is expected to cost £14 billion, but is facing fierce opposition from environmental campaigners. the public will have 12 weeks to comment on the plans. our transport correspondent
6:02 am
tom burridge reports. the queue at heathrow. 99% of landing and takeoff slots at britain's main airport. they're not just queueing up to take off, they're queueing up in is going to get in. a plane will arrive or leave heathrow every 45 seconds. it's why heathrow every 45 seconds. it's why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is the airport's vision. the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 706 21 homes will have to be moved, their owners compensated. local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. in the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail. a new runway means potentially 265 and more flights per year. opposition groups
6:03 am
say it will mean unacceptable levels of noise and pollution. but heathrow says that night every local community will have at least seven hours on a plane is not flying overhead. it insists on reducing its carbon footprint is a priority. one of the things we will be producing as part of the consultation today is oui’ as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality noise and carbon perspective. they are noise and carbon perspective. they a re really noise and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won't be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. heathrow also plans to develop its terminals to cope with the additional traffic. the next step is a planning application. the airport hopes work will begin on the third runway in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. and sean will have more on those plans in the business news
6:04 am
a little later on. let us know what you think about that. the united states is to send a thousand more troops to the middle east, amid rising tensions with iran. the white house said it was in response to what it described as hostile behaviour by iranian forces. our north america correspondent peter bowes has this report. more evidence that iran is to blame. these are the photographs the pentagon says offer further proof that the attacks on two tankers in the gulf of oman were carried out by iranian forces. this image shows what the us military describes as the remnants of the magnetic attachment device of an unexploded limpet mine placed on one of the tankers. the pentagon says it proves that iran has the resources and proficiency needed to quickly remove the unexploded mine. iran continues to deny any involvement in the attacks. announcing a further 1,000 troops to be sent to the middle east, the acting us secretary of defense, patrick shanahan, said the recent iranian attacks validated credible intelligence on hostile behaviour by iranian forces, threatening united states personnel and interests across the region.
6:05 am
the extra troops come on top of 1,500 announced last month. the us military says their role will be defensive, addressing air, naval, and ground—based threats. the us is insisting it does not seek conflict with iran, but with tensions rising, the region is looking increasingly unstable. peter bowes, bbc news. at least one of the candidates aiming to replace theresa may as prime minister will be eliminated later, following the result of a second secret ballot of conservative mps. those who do make the cut will take part in a debate on bbc one tonight, including the frontrunner, borisjohnson. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, who is in danger of being eliminated 7 welcome i think you can safely say
6:06 am
borisjohnson will get welcome i think you can safely say boris johnson will get through. almost certain michael gove and jeremy hunt will as well. they all got well over the 33 boats you needed to get through this round in the vote last week. —— boats. there are three candidates who will find it potentially quite challenging tonight. you have sajid javid, the home secretary, who is quietly confident, i'm told, that he will get over that threshold, but not com pletely get over that threshold, but not completely certain. rory stewart, the man who everyone seems to have seen the man who everyone seems to have seen over the man who everyone seems to have seen over the last few weeks walking about doing selfies on his phone, he thinks he isjust about about doing selfies on his phone, he thinks he is just about at the point where he will get through as well, likewise dominic ryan, former brexit secretary, is hopeful. one of them will have to be eliminated, even if they all got 33 votes, it is likely they all got 33 votes, it is likely the one with the lowest vote would go out. michael gove was adamant he had the votes as well. talk to us, that happens, afterwards there will be this bbc debate, won't there?
6:07 am
they have about two hours between finding out if they are still in the race and having to get to the tv studios to take place in this debate. it is fair to say that all eyes will be on borisjohnson tonight. we have had one press conference and a couple of interviews from him so far. this will be his first big, long outing on television, talking about his ideas for the country if he is to become prime minister. we know he is miles ahead of everybody else when it comes to support in parliament. so all eyes will be on him. also whether the others try and just have agoat whether the others try and just have a go at borisjohnson and basically they eye be made to stop him. by the alternative. —— i am the man to stop him. all eyes on who will be the next pm. lots of things we will find out who will be the next pm. and we'll be talking to rory stewart at around 7:10. we will ask him whether he thinks it will make it through. 33 votes as
6:08 am
needed. i think he had 19 the last round. in his 1a from somewhere. it would take £3.8 billion to reverse the cuts in school spending in england over the last ten years, according to analysis by the institute of fiscal studies. the ifs says to restore funding on sixth forms and colleges would cost almost a further half a billion. the government insists every local authority has been given more money for every pupil since 2017, and schools are getting help with cutting costs. proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. but the government says many of the proposals are already covered by government policy. a lack of training for doctors on how to treat eating disorders is contributing to avoidable deaths, according to a committee of mps. their report says that medical students may getjust a few hours of training on issues such
6:09 am
as bulimia or anorexia, and that the nhs has failed to act on recommendations to improve services. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. for the past decade, hannah has lived with an eating disorder. it's a potentially very serious condition, and yet she struggled to get the help she needed. there was a long wait, actually, when i was 19, to get help. so the wait was about next months for some cbt group therapy, and by that point, that wasn't really sufficient. and also, within six months i was extremely unwell, and by that point i was having, you know, suicide attempts. for those suffering with an eating disorder, getting treatment quickly is vital. but the eating disorder charity beat says, last year, one in five adults in england had to wait longer than 19 weeks, while one in ten had to wait longer than 2a weeks. the average waiting time in england was nine weeks, but the charity says patients face a postcode lottery for treatment.
6:10 am
what we found was that, for some areas, people are being seen within two weeks. for others, they're waiting almost six months. it's a real variety across the country, and that's having detrimental impacts upon people's health. for those like hannah, who are living with an eating disorder, a clear understanding of the illness is key. but a report from a committee of mps says the training medical students receive can amount to just a few hours. they warn that, without better training and more joined—up services to help people like hannah, the nhs is risking avoidable deaths. dominic hughes, bbc news. the head of instagram has welcomed calls for greater regulation of social media platforms. speaking to bbc newsbeat, adam mosseri addressed government plans to fine or block internet sites, if they fail to tackle issues such as terrorist propaganda or images of child abuse.
6:11 am
i think regulation overall is needed, we are focused on a couple of areas, elections integrity, content issues, data portability, there are a few areas where we think regulation is very much needed and hope to engage in conversation as to what that might look like. take a look at this. these pictures show the embarrassing moment a politician's live—streamed press conference descended into farce, when a cat filter was switched on by mistake. shaukat yousafzai was briefing journalists in pakistan when the setting was turned on. facebook users watching the video live commented, before it was quickly removed. mr yousafzai later said it was a mistake that should not be taken so seriously. so is ita so is it a facebook setting then? yes, think so. you can use the filter on various things. wait for this last picture. the guy on the left. the filter changes. he looks so left. the filter changes. he looks
6:12 am
so sad. it could revolutionise the press c0 nfe re nce . so sad. it could revolutionise the press conference. you could put whatever filter you like on it. oh, honestly... these things happen. it is funny. it is the modern world. filters are plenty. hello, sally. you haven't been here recently. had a lovely time with the women's world cup. been in spain a couple of times. in queens yesterday. now i am home, back on the sofa. for what, two days? yes, and then i am off again. talking about modern technology, bal, it was great in the world cup last year in russia, it was one of the best things about that world cup —— var. i'm not so sure this time around. it is causing controversy at the women's world cup. it has changed games. that is because they are sticking to the letter, the absolute letter of the
6:13 am
law. i will tell you something that happened last night. another controversial decision by the video assistant referee at the women's world cup and it could be a huge boost for scotland's chances of progressing. hosts france beat nigeria 1—0, thanks to a penalty — originally missed by wendie renard — but ordered to be taken again after replays showed the goalkeeper was off her line by a few centimetres. i don't know if we can see this. that gave renard the chance to score again and, in denying nigeria a point, it means if scotland win their final group game they would finish as a better placed third placed team than the african side, keeping alive scottish hopes. england play bottom side afghanistan in the cricket world cup at old trafford today, without injured batsmanjason roy. he tore a hamstring in last week's win over west indies. roy will also miss friday's game with sri lanka. bangladesh beat west indies by seven wickets in taunton. set a total of 322 to win, they reached it with 51 balls to spare. liton das hitting the winning runs.
6:14 am
british number one johanna konta got her grass—court season off to a great start with a straight sets victory over annett kontaveit in the birmingham classic. konta won 6—4, 6—2 to move into the second round. i think you are going to go to mate tennis mate now. my doubles partner. it looked lovely yesterday. but the weather has not been really good. why are you laughing?” weather has not been really good. why are you laughing? i am imagining you and carol playing tennis. i'm sure it is magnificent. i am sure she is an absolute beast at the net. she is very elegant at the net. my problem is that i cannot see the ball because they are so blind. a major, fundamental problem.
6:15 am
good morning. the picture behind me is what is going to happen today. warm and unstable out from iberia pushing from france in across the south east. today will feel humid across the south—east. for that matter tomorrow as well. a yellow warning out for this. some will see 15 millimetres some 60 millimetres of rain. this is the area the met office have covered for the risk of those thunderstorms, falling on already saturated ground so the risk of some localised flooding. back to this morning, thundery showers around the channel islands. the showers pushing northwards through east anglia, parts of wales, the south—west of england. one or two could be heavy. the northern ireland

6:18 am
let's take a look at the front pages. the times says environment secretary michael gove is trying to slow down rory stewart's momentum. mr gove writes in the paper that colleagues should ensure the final two candidates in the vote "believe in brexit" to avoid polarising the party. the guardian has a story about homelessness on its front page. it says the number of "tent cities" forcibly removed by councils across the uk has trebled to 254 over five years. it also has a picture of fashion designer gloria vanderbilt who has died aged 95. the listeria outbreak affecting hospitals leads the daily mail. the paper says hospitals were warned seven years ago about the risks of food poisoning when giving ready—made sandwiches to vulnerable patients. meanwhile, the daily express says nigel farage has vowed to reject any pact at an election between his brexit party and the conservatives. the paper reports his claims that tory donors had approached him about an alliance to prevent
6:19 am
their party being "wiped out" at the next general election. we have our little bundle of papers. a lot of the business pages, kier grip, they are big, construction company. they are hoping that as far as it goes they are cutting 1200 jobs. lots of companies in the sector having financial problems. kier is one we are keeping an eye on. after the escapades yesterday, down in middlesbrough, more vegan food news. an interesting chat about

6:26 am
avoidable? i do not think the quantity of rain was avoidable. this came from the wards and the water came from the wards and the water came down to wainfleet an itjust doesn't stop with the rain so it doesn't stop with the rain so it does not got down. we were pumping out but they never went down. does not got down. we were pumping out but they never went downm does not got down. we were pumping out but they never went down. it was awful. hopefully this weather may not have the impact it had last week what is the mood like thinking about the weather forecast? we have a lot of rain forecast and the banks are very weak. they are pumping as fast as they can. today 40,000 tons a second reported to be pumped out. along with the big pump that came in. that has got the water down but the feeling into the town is they are sad and angry. rightly so. they

6:29 am
victorian crab sculpture. the toothy crustacean was made in london in 1880 and is one of the uk's earliest pieces of sculptural art pottery. it's feared it'll be lost abroad unless a uk buyer can be found to pay the two hundred and sixty thousand pound asking price. let's take a look at the travel situation now: a good service on the tube this morning. as i mentioned earlier — south—western railway is affected by industrial action. there's no service at all on the shepperton line and replacement buses running to hampton court. on the roads — there's the usual delays northbound approaching the blackwall tunnel. eversholt street remains closed next to euston station for repairs to a burst water main. finally, in waterloo, baylis road is closed — that's also because of a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini a lovely and to the day and warm and

6:32 am
most in—demand music producers. kate tempestjoins us on the sofa after nine. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, will publish details of its expansion plans this morning. the project to build a third runway is expected to cost £14 billion, but is facing fierce opposition from environmental campaigners. the public will have 12 weeks to comment on the plans. those behind the project insist reducing the site's carbon footprint is a priority. one of the things will be producing as part of the consultation today is the environmental impact assessment, which sets out the impacts from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked ha rd to important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won't be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. the united states is to send 1,000 extra troops to the middle east,
6:33 am
amid rising tensions with iran. the white house said these pictures prove iran was to blame for the attacks on two tankers in the gulf of oman, and was responding to what it described as hostile behaviour by iranian forces. iran continues to deny any involvement in the attacks. at least one of the candidates aiming to replace theresa may as prime minister will be eliminated later. a second secret ballot of conservative mps will take place this afternoon. those who do make the cut will take part in a debate on bbc one tonight, including the frontrunner, borisjohnson who was well ahead in the first round of voting last thursday. a lack of training for doctors on how to treat eating disorders is contributing to avoidable deaths, according to a committee of mps. their report says that medical students may receive no more than a few hours of training on issues such as bulimia or anorexia, and that the nhs has failed to act on recommendations to improve services. the royal college of gps says training in mental health, including eating disorders, makes up a key part of the gp
6:34 am
curriculum, but that more resources and funding are needed to deliver the best possible care. proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. let's speak now to the chair of the committee, labour mp mary creagh, who's in our london newsroom. good morning. thank you so much for joining us. you are claiming the government has rejected all of the recommendations, they are claiming they have put in lots of things that cover these recommendations. where are we at with this? our report found that the fashion industry has a model that is unsustainable, it is based on the overuse of the earth's researchers and the exploitation of workers as well. and on the big ticket items are recommendations
6:35 am
that the government should and textile incineration and landfilling of clothes and on that penny on every garment so we of clothes and on that penny on every garment so we create a system where we can collect and recycle and reuse clothing, they have essentially rejected our findings. how damaging, you talk about all those different things, what is the highest priority, do you think? fashion has got to tackle its carbon, waste, and waterford rents. one of the key things we recommended was that they shouldn't be allowed to burn close —— water footprints. we sent 300,000 tons of close to landfill or incineration each year. frankly, the public were astonished by this and the industry wants to do better. so unless we put a little tax of a penny on every garment we're not going to create this systems, as they have in france, to collect those close and keep them out of a hole in the ground or incineration. and, frankly, the government is saying we will look at this ina government is saying we will look at this in a couple of years and we may
6:36 am
do something by 2025. it simply isn't good enough when they have said they want to get to a net zero carbon world by 2050. this is part of the action they need to take. you said the industry wants to do better, but why is it not? if it wa nts to better, but why is it not? if it wants to lies in not doing it? because the laggards in the industry hide behind the leaders. we did a survey, we found there were some great practices out there. people trying to do their best, primark, a source, tesco, all trying to do their bit for the planet. they are pa rt their bit for the planet. they are part of the sustainable clothing action plan where they are trying to get their water and carbon usage down, but behind that is a very, very long tail. this is a huge business in the uk of retailers who are turning a blind, notjust to labour abuses, but also write down the supply chain, unsustainable practices, dying the rivers blew in india, child labour, forced labour being used to make those clothes. and we suggested they should be
6:37 am
forced to report, in the company accounts, on the steps they have taken to tackle slavery in the supply chain. we have a modern slavery law, it isn't being in force, big company is like foot locker, valentino, the two companies, simply not reporting on those practices when our report was published by the government responding to that and saying through the ground broadened modern slavery at the uk was the first to have businesses report. you are saying they are not reporting. have businesses report. you are saying they are not reportingm have businesses report. you are saying they are not reporting. it is fine to say you have a law to so you have to publish a slavery statement on your website but when thousands of companies fail to take this step what is the point of the law was ike nye what is the point of the law was ikenye just what is the point of the law was ikenyejust ask what is the point of the law was ikenye just ask you a question as well, obviously, how much of this comes down to the personal? how much difference can individuals make about their decision—making processes to what is going on? we have said that people should keep their clothes for longer, they should apply the 30 west rule, if you are going to wear 30 times, if
6:38 am
you are going to wear 30 times, if you don't, don't bite. we want children to be taught making and mending skills in schools. children are general —— junior school could have a craft activity week, as many of them have got not very much to do for the last weeks of term. but what we also said is that consumers can play their part, but they can't be expected to do this work on their own. they need the government to help them do it and that is where governors is falling short. we are going to have to leave it there. —— government. thank you very much your time. we were told that it is not that we are not looking at the impact. the committee would like to achieve much thatis committee would like to achieve much that is already covered by company policy. you are watching bbc breakfast. very good morning to you. we have sally back. yes. obviously on my travels they have been over in france at the women's world cup. one of the things they noticed about the host nation is that, obviously in france, that
6:39 am
tea m is that, obviously in france, that team is getting all the headlines, they are hugely popular, even as a neutral, if you were watching france play, they have played brilliant foot all, one of the favourites for the tournament, something happened last night that just the tournament, something happened last night thatjust is a little bit awkward, because france won against nigeria because of a very, very controversial decision by the video assistant referee. the upside is it could be a huge boost for scotland's chances of progressing. hosts france beat nigeria 1—0, thanks to a penalty — originally missed by wendie renard — but ordered to be taken again after replays showed the goalkeeper was off her line by a few centimetres. that gave renard the chance to score again and, in denying nigeria a point, it means if scotland win their final group game they would finish as a better placed third placed team than the african side, keeping alive scottish hopes. it means that if scotland and the final group game they will be finish isa final group game they will be finish is a better placed third place team
6:40 am
are nigeria, keeping alive their hopes. but you would have to say thatis hopes. but you would have to say that is really harsh for the nigeria keeper. nigeria played brilliantly up keeper. nigeria played brilliantly up until that point and kept france out for more than one hour. there will be some frantic mathematics of the next few days. are you ready? scotland, they need to beat argentina tomorrow. then they need to watch results on thursday — the main one being chile, who would need at least five goals to better scotland. scotland may have lost both their games but the goals they got against england and japan in defeat could still be the key to a potential place in the last 16. i always thought when we came here that three points would, probably, depending on goal difference, would be enough. think that is still going to the case. it is certainly heading that way. so we definitely are looking at some planning and what the other groups are looking like.
6:41 am
think most coaches will do the same. england play bottom side afghanistan in the cricket world cup at old trafford today, without injured batsmanjason roy. he tore a hamstring in friday's win over west indies, but his skipper insists roy will recover in time to play a further part in the campaign. i certainly believe jason will play again in this tournament. at the moment he's going to assessed continuously over the course of the next week. is out of the next two games. so we will see how he pulls up games. so we will see how he pulls up after that. but you are optimistic you might be back for australia? no, absolutely. if not australia, maybe the following game. bangladesh beat west indies by seven wickets in taunton. the west indies looked in control with shai hope hitting 96 as his side reached 321. that looked a tall order for bangladesh but they reached it comfortably with 51 balls to spare. liton das hitting the winning runs. it may not feel like it weather—wise, but there's just under a fortnight now until wimbledon gets under way, and british number one
6:42 am
johanna konta got her grass—court season off to a great start with a straight sets victory over annett kontaveit in the birmingham classic. konta went into the first round match on the back of a french open semi—final, two wta finals, and she took the first set 6—4. konta was always in control and took the second set 6—2 to move into the second round. before that, heather watson was beaten by czech player barbora strycova. in the men's tournament at queens, cameron norrie went a set up against kevin anderson. but anderson, who was runner—up at wimbledon last year, won the next two to move into the second round. james ward was later beaten by gilles simon. defending champion marin cilic saw off the challenge of chile's cristian garin. cilic won in straight sets. british number one kyle edmund plays top seed stefanos tsitsipas later. now then, marathon runners are used to roaming around some of the world's most spectacular cities. not this marathon. take a look.
6:43 am
the venue was shepton mallet prison, the oldest working prison in the uk up until it was closed six years ago. 100 athletes in fancy dress took part — running through a wing and b wing, upstairs, along prison corridors and through exercise yards. the winner was michael burke, who negotiated the course in just underfour and a quarter hours. just in the nick of time. his secret? keeping on the straight and narrow. that is quite a tricky course, actually, isn't it? i wouldn't that is quite a tricky course, actually, isn't it? iwouldn't no. it is the steps that would have done it for me. also you could not pass anyone on the steps. dan is not listening. i got distracted by oscar. the reason oscar is here, he is clearly very lovely... if you're a dog owner,
6:44 am
you'll be all too familiar with giving in to the demands of those big puppy eyes. now, scientists think that dogs have actually evolved their expressions over the years, in order to manipulate us. researchers at the university of portsmouth say the big—sad—eyes expression didn't exist before humans started domesticating dogs some 33,000 years ago. we would love to see pictures of your dogs. first up, it's dan's dog, winnie. i'd just give in all the time. with those eyes... look at these two. here we have louise's dogs, that's waffle and ruby. even the little tilted head. and here's, sally's cavapoo, sadie. how can you not give into those eyes? because they are men. could i
6:45 am
have a sausage? —— because i amine. here to talk more about this is dog behavioural expert phil campbell, and oscar, the dog. scientist seem to think they have literally evolved their expressions toa literally evolved their expressions to a lot, get on with us better? conceivably. selective breeding over thousands and thousands of years, and recently dogs are not used for working so much. it could be that we assume is likely dogs that seem to be able to communicate with us better. droopy eyes, oscar is putting on a show now. he is giving you puppy eyes. it is conceivable that with the older breeds, more selective, eve ryo ne the older breeds, more selective, everyone has a dog, a lot of working type dogs in the home not working
6:46 am
anymore and so conceivably they may be right. we will see when they finish their studies. is it always for a fraction? sometimes theyjust wa nt for a fraction? sometimes theyjust want you to feed them. they will pester until you give them the biscuit and once they got what want they don't want to know you again. dogs are different to cats. cats would just like to eat us if they could. they don't care about us. lots of dogs are not recognised so actually because these animals are co nsta ntly actually because these animals are constantly evolving, where could we be going? a domesticated dog is so far removed from bulls in the wild they are not related at all? a pug,
6:47 am
for example, french bulldogs, no discernible features. flat nozzle, no tail, very difficult to read. even now it is happening. and the head tilt? sometimes they hear something, the dog will look at you. i always thought it was to be friendly. i think they are trying to see what we are about. we love to see what we are about. we love to see your pictures of dogs. we do not wa nt see your pictures of dogs. we do not want to offend the cat owners, so we wa nt want to offend the cat owners, so we want to offend the cat owners, so we want to send those but they have not noticed this in cats yet. dogs like these, wanting more attention, a tree, how do you not give into it? you do not have to entertain your dog 24/7. people that do it is why
6:48 am
we are busy dog 24/7. people that do it is why we are busy seven dog 24/7. people that do it is why we are busy seven days a week. people constantly... the dog ‘s expectation would become that they need to be entertained but sometimes the dogs need to be quiet and bored and relax. you give your dog exercise, love, affection, some training, food, water and a place to sleep. are you saying ignore them? there is a time to ignore them. there is a time to ignore them. there you go. i am not saying ignore them all the time. oscar has been with us for ten years. he came as a rescue dog. if you can try avoid giving in in that moment. a dog who barks to come into the room, if you co nsta ntly barks to come into the room, if you constantly go and open the door, the dog's expectation is if i bark they
6:49 am
opened the door. but if you wait until they acquired, they learn. crosstalk. we have found a way to shut him up! thank you very much indeed. oscar a wonderful demonstration of those puppy eyes. i just know lots of you will be sending your photographs. we look forward to seeing them. in defence of cat owners, here is carole. cats would never eat you, never! but dogs are lovely. this is what we are expecting later today, some thunderstorms coming up from iberia.
6:50 am
u nsta ble thunderstorms coming up from iberia. unstable aircoming thunderstorms coming up from iberia. unstable air coming across the bay of biscay, france, and the south—eastern part of the uk. the met office has got a warning for these areas where we could see 15—50 millimetres of rain. inaudible. a real risk of localised flooding. thunderstorms are not unusual at this time of year. some of the ground in those areas however is already saturated. as we headed through this morning. we have some showers in the english channel. showers pushing in through southern counties of england and wales heading to east anglia and kent and some will be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder through the course of today. scotland and northern
6:51 am
sunshine and showers. in northern england, mcleod is done, especially in cumbria. things will brighten up and you will see some cloudy skies. —— cloud around. this morning a dry start. the cloud will build. showers forming. tomorrow, the risk of showers and the odd rumble of thunder. both days humid. on thursday, things are settling down and it should stay dry. a similar forecast for queens. we lose today's rain with the area of thunderstorm indicated in the met office yellow weather warning with the risk of torrential downpours and localised flooding. as we push further west and north, some showers but also clear skies. temperatures falling to around nine degrees here but a muggy 13 in london. tomorrow, sundry
6:52 am
downpours to start. pushing to the north sea. these good proved to be thundery as well. the driest conditions will be out towards the west. even here, although some sunshine, you could see one or two showers and it will still feel muggy in the south—eastern corner. as we had from wednesday into thursday, the weather front pushes off into the weather front pushes off into the new continent. the wind also changes direction. high—pressure sta rts changes direction. high—pressure starts to establish itself stop things settle down. on thursday, for england and wales, dry conditions. a chance of a shower but smaller the chance. heavier showers likely to be across western scotland. it will not be as humid as in the next couple of daysin be as humid as in the next couple of days in the south—east. it's been decades in the planning and incredibly controversal. today we get details on heathrow
6:53 am
airport's planned expansion. sean has all the details. the building of a third runway was actually first approved by a government back in 2009. heathrow is the fifth busiest airport in the world with more than 200,000 passengers travelling through it every day. but it says it's full which is one reason a commission backed expansion plans there. it doesn't come cheap. £14 billion is the current price tag, and that's just the new runway which will be cutting through a newly tunnelled and rerouted m25 motorway. which is no smalljob. the plan is for that runway to be finished by 2026, and 10s of billions of pounds more will be spent on upgrading car parks, hotels and terminals over the next 24 years, they say to spread out the disruption to people nearby. and it's those locals, along with environmental campaigners have been leading the opposition to all of this.
6:54 am
our main objection is really noise. there will be over 700 extra planes a day using heathrow if a third ru nway a day using heathrow if a third runway is built but of course the rather people who will lose homes. over 800 homes will go and although there will bejobs over 800 homes will go and although there will be jobs created, that is a lot of people losing a lot there is also a pollution concerns, construction and the impact on climate. so those who wanted build say those affected will be compensated from a fund of nearly £3 billion. they also point to wider benefits, like the construction creating 70,000 newjobs by 2050, and an economic boost from more passengers. so there's a lot riding on where this project goes from here. today is important because the airport launches a 12 week consultation to find out what people and businesses make of it all, so if you have strong views, you can let them know, and the theory is they'll listen.
6:55 am
thank you very much. thank you for all your puppy dog pictures. can you put the newspaper picture on. thank you for much. the crocodile? scientists have looked are dogs and they say they have evolved their facial expressions are... keep steel... you keep talking. they have evolved their facial expressions... i have got it. so they can manipulate us. and it is to do, as far as manipulate us. and it is to do, as farasi manipulate us. and it is to do, as far as i understand it, with the muscle so wolves cannot do this with our eyes but they have evolved to basically make us do what they want
6:56 am
andi basically make us do what they want and i know lots of cat owners getting in touch as well. absolutely right. i have had cats and dogs. are you going to say something catty! no but essentially don't you think if a cat needed you for food...|j but essentially don't you think if a cat needed you for food. .. i think cats are lovely. right, that is sorted then. time to get the news travel and whether where you. i also like cats. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. rail commuters on some of the busiest routes into london are facing disruption today as a five day strike gets underway involving south western railway workers. members of the rmt union walked out at midnight
6:57 am
in a row over the removal of guards on trains. the company has called the action unnecessary. it will also affect racegoers heading to royal ascot. the classmates of a nine—year—old who died after he was trapped by school lockers, are to build a lego tribute to him. leo latifi was injured while at an after—school club in essex last month. a post—mortem examination found he died from a head injury. a special service will be held today with the lego tribute to be built by the end of the summer term. the idea came exclusively from our children in leo's class. and they knew how passionate leo was about lego, and he loved making lego models of dinosaurs, insects, anything, really, and so they decided it would be perfect as a permanent memorial to leo to have lego involved in some way.
6:58 am
a temporary ban's been made on exporting what's been described as a "truly grotesque" victorian crab sculpture. the toothy crustacean was made in london in 1880 and is one of the uk's earliest pieces of sculptural art pottery. it's feared it'll be lost abroad unless a uk buyer can be found to pay the two hundred and sixty thousand pound asking price. let's take a look at the travel situation now: on the roads — there's the usual delays northbound approaching the blackwall tunnel. eversholt street remains closed next to euston station for repairs to a burst water main. finally, in waterloo, baylis road is closed — that's also because of a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello good morning. it was such a lovely end to the day yesterday, lots of late sunshine around and some warm and humid air now moving in from the south. today, it is set to feel rather humid, light winds and lots of early sunshine around too, but there will be some showers later
6:59 am
on through the afternoon. but it's a dry start to the morning, temperatures in double figures. cloud amounts will increase through the late morning. then we will start to see these showers. now, they could be very heavy in places. they are moving their way north—eastwards but lots of dry weather around for the second half of the afternoon. top temperatures of 18 or 19 degrees celsius. the winds are falling very light and it will feel quite humid, but temperatures not desperately high. now, some very unstable air moving in overnight tonight. expect to see some thunderstorms, some lightning strikes and some torrential downpours. that warning is valid on tuesday night and all day on wednesday. so here come the showers again. expect to see some lightning, a rumble or two of thunder, temperatures remaining in double figures. again more heavy showers through the day on wednesday. a little bit of sunshine. feeling fresher, more sunshine on thursday. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now.
7:00 am
7:01 am
to the middle east amid rising tensions with iran. it's a knockout. conservative mps prepare to whittle down the number of leadership contenders. middle—aged money mules. there's been a big rise in the number of people who've had their id stolen or been scammed into money laundering. in sport, more controversial decisions from the video assistant referee at the women's world cup. a retaken penalty gives hosts france a win over nigeria and could be a huge boost to scotland's chances of progressing. and who could resist those puppy eyes? but did dogs develop a sad look to help them bond with us? good morning. today we are looking at sunshine and charles across scotla nd at sunshine and charles across scotland and northern ireland. although england and wales will start largely dry and bright, we have showers coming up from the channel through the day, followed later by some heavy thunderstorms. i will have more in 15 minutes.
7:02 am
good morning. it's tuesday, the 18thjune. our top story: heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, will publish details of its expansion plans this morning. the project to build a third runway is expected to cost £14 billion, but is facing fierce opposition from environmental campaigners. the public will have 12 weeks to comment on the plans. our transport correspondent, tom burridge, reports. they queue at heathrow. 99% of landing and takeoff slots at britain's main airport are full. they're notjust queueing up to take off, they're queueing up in the sky to get in. a plane will arrive or leave heathrow every 45 seconds. it's why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is the airport's vision. the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 761 homes will have to be moved, their owners compensated.
7:03 am
local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. and the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail. a new runway means potentially 265,000 more flights per year. opposition groups say it will mean unacceptable levels of noise and pollution. but heathrow says at night every local community will have at least seven hours when a plane is not flying overhead. it insists reducing its carbon footprint is a priority. one of the things we'll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won't be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits.
7:04 am
heathrow also plans to develop its terminals to cope with the additional traffic. the next step is a planning application. the airport hopes work will begin on the third runway in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. at least one of the candidates aiming to replace theresa may as prime minister will be eliminated later, following the result of a second secret ballot of conservative mps. those who do make the cut will take part in a debate on bbc one tonight, including the frontrunner, borisjohnson. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. well, i think you can safely say borisjohnson will get brew. almost certain that michael gove and jeremy hunt will as well —— through. they all got well over the 33 votes you need to get through this and any vote last week. there are three candidates who will find it
7:05 am
potentially quite challenging tonight. you have sajid javid, the home secretary, who is quietly confident, i'm told, that he will get over that threshold, but not com pletely get over that threshold, but not completely certain. rory stewart, the man who everyone seems to have seen over the man who everyone seems to have seen over the last few weeks talking about doing selfies on his phone, he thinks he's just about at the point where he will get through as well. likewise, former brexit secretary dominic raab is hopeful. but one of them will have to be eliminated, evenif them will have to be eliminated, even if they all got the 33 votes, which is unlikely. the one with the fewest will go out of my get to take pa rt fewest will go out of my get to take part in that debate tonight. michael gove on breakfast yesterday telling us gove on breakfast yesterday telling us he had the votes. talk to us, that happens and then afterwards there will be there is a bbc debate, won't there? will be about two hours between finding out if they are still in race and having to get to the tv studios to take part in this debate. it is fair to say that all eyes will be on borisjohnson tonight. we have had one press conference and a couple of
7:06 am
interviews from him so far, but this will be his first big, long outing on television, talking about his ideas for the country if he is to become prime minister. we know that he is miles ahead of everybody else when it comes to support in parliament, so all eyes will be on him. also whether the others try and just have a go at borisjohnson, basically saying man to stop him from imb alternative. a fascinating piece of telly tonight as we look at however many are left, the options to be our next pm. and we'll be talking to rory stewart at around 7:10. the united states is to send 1,000 extra troops to the middle east, amid rising tensions with iran. the white house said it was in response to what it described as hostile behaviour by iranian forces. our north america correspondent peter bowes has this report. more evidence that iran is to blame. these are the photographs the pentagon says offer further proof that the attacks on two tankers in the gulf of oman were carried out by iranian forces. this image shows what the us
7:07 am
military describes as the remnants of the magnetic attachment device of an unexploded limpet mine placed on one of the tankers. the pentagon says it proves that iran has the resources and proficiency needed to quickly remove the unexploded mine. iran continues to deny any involvement in the attacks. announcing a further 1,000 troops to be sent to the middle east, the acting us secretary of defense, patrick shanahan, said the recent iranian attacks validated credible intelligence on hostile behaviour by iranian forces, threatening united states personnel and interests across the region. the extra troops come on top of 1,500 announced last month. the us military says their role will be defensive, addressing air, naval, and ground—based threats. the us is insisting it does not seek conflict with iran, but with tensions rising, the region is looking increasingly unstable. peter bowes, bbc news.
7:08 am
proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. but the government says many of the proposals are already covered by government policy. a lack of training for doctors on how to treat eating disorders is contributing to avoidable deaths, according to a committee of mps. their report says that medical students may getjust a few hours of training on issues such as bulimia or anorexia, and that the nhs has failed to act on recommendations to improve services. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. for the past decade, hannah has lived with an eating disorder. it's a potentially very serious condition, and yet she struggled to get the help she needed. there was a long wait, actually, when i was 19, to get help.
7:09 am
so the wait was about next months for some cbt group therapy, and by that point, that wasn't really sufficient. and also, within six months i was extremely unwell, and by that point i was having, you know, suicide attempts. for those suffering with an eating disorder, getting treatment quickly is vital. but the eating disorder charity beat says, last year, one in five adults in england had to wait longer than 18 weeks, while one in ten had to wait longer than 24 weeks. the average waiting time in england was nine weeks, but the charity says patients face a postcode lottery for treatment. what we found was that, for some areas, people are being seen within two weeks. for others, they're waiting almost six months. it's a real variety across the country, and that's having detrimental impacts upon people's health. for those like hannah, who are living with an eating disorder, a clear understanding of the illness is key. but a report from a committee of mps says the training medical students receive can amount to just a few hours. they warn that, without better
7:10 am
training and more joined—up services to help people like hannah, the nhs is risking avoidable deaths. dominic hughes, bbc news. will be talking about that a little bit later as well. it is ten minutes past seven. we ta ke we take you back to one of our main stories. he may not be the frontrunner to replace theresa may as prime minister, but rory stewart has certainly made his presence known throughout the leadership campaign. his social media videos and public appearances have earned him thousands of new followers, helping him progress further in the contest than many would have predicted. later this evening, he'll find out if its been enough to make it through the second secret ballot of mps. let's speak to him now. good morning, rory stewart, thank you for coming on bbc breakfast. have you worked out the maths, will you be making it through the next round, do you have those 33 supporters? is going to be very
7:11 am
close. i'm very much the underdog in this race. they came in at 100:1 against. i have just this race. they came in at 100:1 against. i havejust had enough to go through. before the mps promised to vote for me do so in that secret ballot eye hopefully will come through and have a chance to challenge those big beasts this evening. in terms of the logistics of how this works, have you been focusing their attention on those who supported matt hancock since he pulled out of the race, how have you been working? yes. i've been very lucky the majority of matt hancock's supporters have come over to me. they had a great support from david lidington, which has been very important. i'm sure viewers not very interested in the internal ratings of conservative campaigns, but as the deputy roman is that he is giving mea the deputy roman is that he is giving me a vote of confidence as somebody he feels could run a cabinet and be prime minister. that is very important for a campaign that started as an outsider. you talk about being an outsider. the overwhelming favourite remains boris johnson. even though we criticise
7:12 am
him yesterday on this programme and speaking to james cleverly, because we still can't get an interview with borisjohnson, he seems to be focusing his campaign onjust talking to mps. where is you and some of the others, as we mentioned, have concentrated on speaking to the general public and spending your time on social media. do you think that, really, you should be following his example and focusing on getting the support of the mps? not in my case. my only chance in this race, really, is to bring a very different type of politics and try to show that there is the chance for the conservative party not to get stuck inside westminster but to get stuck inside westminster but to get out and talk to people. i have beenin get out and talk to people. i have been in londonderry, derby, edinburgh, edinburgh, wigan, warrington, have been a popular in london on saturday, and it has been incredibly heartwarming to see how much energy and enthusiasm there has been from people in the public, most people want to engage in politics
7:13 am
again, how they feel, particularly, that the centre ground in british politics has been lost. one of the things that has been so encouraging as how much optimism and energy people are bringing on ideas on housing, and how to work with the elderly, and ideas of how to tackle crime. they are unlucky enough to be prime minister would like to spend one day a week out with the public andi one day a week out with the public and i would want to walk through every cou nty and i would want to walk through every county in the united kingdom, because i think this is the great secret of politics is that the power lies with the people.|j secret of politics is that the power lies with the people. i mean, you have open yourself up to scrutiny as well, that something which boris johnson has been accused of not doing. he will take part in this debate tonight. we and many other media organisations have asked for an interview and the answer has been an interview and the answer has been a resounding no. if you had the opportunity to ask a question about his policies or his past, what would you ask him? my big question would be how will you deliver brexit? he keeps saying he will get us out by october 31, but how is he going to do it? on that breaks down to two questions. how is it possibly going to negotiate a new deal with year by
7:14 am
the end of october when we all know that europe is never going to give a deal by then? actually, nigel farage agrees with me on that, steve baker agrees with me on that, steve baker agrees with me on that, steve baker agrees with me on that. this second question is, if you can't get a no dealfrom europe, how is he going to get it through parliament? parliament has also made it clear that it would never allow no deal through. what i'm worried about is that because we haven't had the chance, you, me, the public haven't had the chance to ask him questions on the details of his plan a lot of people could be very disappointed, come the end of october. can a ask you about what mr gove has said in the times newspaper this morning. is that it was essential the final two candidates in this race, both believe in brexit ——he said that. i am sure you are somebody who probably does not believe in that. what you say to that? if it doesn't happen, he says, it would polarise the party. i do believe in brexit. i've voted remain, but as soon as that referendum result came in a accepted the result and have campaigned tirelessly and very publicly for a moderate, pragmatic
7:15 am
brexit underwood stakes is out of the european union, but keeps us close to europe economically so we can sell our cars into your... with respect, that does not represent the large feeling in your party. are you in the wrong party, do you think? the majority of people in my party believe in moderation, compromise and bringing the country together. i do not think we want to be in a party that tries to tact to one extreme of british politics. the great potential for our country, the way to make this country great is to understand that jeremy corbyn way to make this country great is to understand thatjeremy corbyn has left a huge hole in the moderate central ground. i get that done and then move on to the things we care about. sorting out the way we care about. sorting out the way we care about the elderly, building more houses, a million more trees in the ground. we could be the generation
7:16 am
that really changes this country we need to harness the energies of everybody rather than appealing to the extremes. you have been criticised because you plan would be to get through theresa may's existing deal. is that a strong platform to say that a vote for rory stewart is for a vote that has been rejected already. ifi ran my campaign off polling and focus groups, that would be an unpopular thing to say but i am saying it because it is true. we only have one deal and if we want to leave quickly and legally, and the main thing is to get on with it, get brexit done, and the quickest and most legal way of doing and is to do what we have to do which is to take a deal and thatis to do which is to take a deal and that is the only deal through parliament. once it is free, people will realise it has achieved a lot. it will give us control of immigration, we believe parliament,
7:17 am
the commission but we also keep the trading connections so we can sell our goods into europe and get our economy going again. many viewers have read in the papers all these rumours of you being a spy. can you clear that up for us live on television? absolutely. i was not a spy. television? absolutely. i was not a spy. but surely espy would tell us he was not a spy. you put your finger on the problem. i solved in the balkans, in afghanistan and other places and that is what makes mea other places and that is what makes me a proud conservatives, seeing the women and men who served in those countries seeing how much britain doesin countries seeing how much britain does in the world, how much good it brings to the world and if i am lucky enough to make it through the round, i would like to work with the people of britain and unlock the
7:18 am
future. requires 33 to get through and take part in the debate. they find the vote about two hours before the debate. prepare anyway and see what happens. carole can look at the weather and your promising thunderstorms for some people? that's right, later on this evening, overnight and later on. torrential, thundery downpours. we have warm and humid air, unstable airfrom iberia, across the bay of biscay, france, into the uk. not unusual to have thunderstorms but the heavy rain is falling on already saturated ground is why we are highlighting this yellow warning. the risk of flooding
7:19 am
in these areas. 15—50 millimetres of rainfall but some of us will not see any at all. if you are out and about later on, bear that in mind. across the channel islands this morning, showers, wanted to thundery. mr conditions across the south—west. showers pushing further north. —— misty. a mix of sunshine and showers over northern ireland and scotland. the first day of royal ascot. a dry start. cloud will build and some showers arrive stop it will not be raining all the time and later it will feel quite human. tomorrow, showers, the odd rumble of thunder. high—pressure exerting itself on thursday and it will feel fresher.
7:20 am
similar conditions in queens for the tennis today. overnight, we lose the showers and a new batch comes in from the english channel. these are the ones under the met office yellow warning that could bring torrential downpours and the risk of local flooding. showers across scotland and northern ireland. clear skies also. tomorrow we start off with those thunderstorms. they clear from lincolnshire and east anglia but you can see it through the day, a tale of them coming up through the midlands into northern england and again you could hear the odd rumble of thunder. running up in the south—western wales. scotland and northern ireland just a few showers in the west. still feeling quite muqqy in the west. still feeling quite muggy in the south—east. that will change as the weather from producing the storms moves away. we lose the
7:21 am
amber colours. when changing direction to more of a westerly. england and wales a drier day, just a few showers here and there. one or two showers in northern ireland. heavier showers in western scotland. feeling fresher. top temperature up to 20. we are so thankful. companies that charge their loyal customers more than new ones could have had their day. ifind it i find it extraordinary that companies do this but they do. that's right. some say we are overpaying for billion pounds in total, four
7:22 am
contracts, deals that we do not need to be paying. for billion pounds! shocking. they did a huge amount of research. they raise it to the regulators are saying this needs to be looked at and something needs to be looked at and something needs to be done. the government is saying they will look to give powers to regulators to find companies if they end up overcharging people. in the mail today, theresa may has written a piece on this. and of rip off the headline. gives you pay for the phone you own. lots of different sectors. mobile phone is the one picked up. if you pay a certain amount each month for your handset and the data you get, eventually you pay off the handset even once you pay off the handset even once you pay it off, you might keep paying the same amount month after month. you should not paying that much
7:23 am
because part of it is for the handset. insurance market, other areas where the regulator will be saying, we could have a few more powers and find companies and they are hoping it could act as a deterrent. we have seen some companies change the way they do things. thank you very much. just the one thank you then. we are still very thankful. people in wainfleet in lincolnshire are preparing themselves for more bad weather tonight, after a week of heavy rain left many homes flooded. we showed you some pictures on the programme yesterday and on the weekend. hundreds have had to find emergency accommodation, after two months of rain fell in just two days. breakfast‘s john maguire is in wainfleet for us this morning. we can see the extent of the bad weather. good morning to you. good morning, the water level has dropped hugely but absolutely saturated the
7:24 am
ground and well beyond. we are standing in between the point where the river goes one way and the flood drainage doug years and years runs the other side. the river burst its banks. 45 houses we reckon were flooded. when you have two months of rain falling flooded. when you have two months of rainfalling in flooded. when you have two months of rain falling injust flooded. when you have two months of rain falling in just two days, it is quite extraordinary. jean and kevin join me and the representative of the county counsel. what is at the scene like your place? pretty horrendous. water up to our chest. we have lost everything in the house but managed to save the cat and my husband, the most important things. you were affected by it. how quickly
7:25 am
did the water come in? within the hour. it literally went from uncle depth to the depth and the next day it was up to my waist. —— ankle depth to me depth. it sounds frightening when the water comes in that quickly. the rescue service came in and they were lifting the furniture up and within the hour, the furniture was floating. they try to pump it out but the pumps were not coping with the amount of water coming in so quickly. they took us out at midnight. you are in remarkably good spirit, living in a caravan. . . remarkably good spirit, living in a caravan... no, no. ido beg remarkably good spirit, living in a
7:26 am
caravan... no, no. i do beg your pardon but it will take awhile to get into the house? probably about a year. we're going to try and buy ca rava n year. we're going to try and buy caravan to go on the property so we can stay in the red. you hadjust finished renovating? two extensions, yes. that was it. we were going to sit and relax and just potter. enjoy. the famous last words. wendy, the community response has been extraordinary. fantastic. everybody coming together, offering help. anybody that wants anything is there for them. and the 24—hour centre is open as well, for a chat, a t. anyone struggling, come to the whole and they will help. —— come to the
7:27 am
hall. the weather got really bad last week in wainfleet. the ground already saturated. because cross that they might not quite get the worst of those thunderstorms because really you wonder how much more they can take. look at the scene here and this is the best it has looked for the past few days. fingers crossed it will not be as bad as last week. difficult times. this morning we we re difficult times. this morning we were talking about puppy—dog eyes. you asked for picture. my entire social media is now filled with pictures. scientists have found dogs have evolved their facial expressions to manipulate humans. it is something to do with a muscle in their eyebrow which is different from wolves and basically it makes us from wolves and basically it makes
7:28 am
us do the things they want us to do. feed them, take them for walks. thank you so much for all your pictures of your dogs and also cats as well. i have no power. sally is a brute, she never gives in. she is right. time to get the news, travel and weather where you. rail commuters on some of the busiest routes into london are facing disruption today as a five day strike gets underway involving south western railway workers. members of the rmt union walked out at midnight in a row over the removal of guards on trains. the company has called the action unnecessary. it will also affect racegoers heading to royal ascot. the classmates of a nine—year—old who died after he was trapped by school lockers, are to build a lego tribute to him. leo latifi was injured while at an after—school club in essex last month.
7:29 am
a post—mortem examination found he died from a head injury. a special service will be held today with the lego tribute to be built by the end of the summer term. the idea came exclusively from our children in leo's class. and they knew how passionate leo was about lego, and he loved making lego models of dinosaurs, insects, anything, really, and so they decided it would be perfect as a permanent memorial to leo to have lego involved in some way. a temporary ban's been made on exporting what's been described as a "truly grotesque" victorian crab sculpture. the toothy crustacean was made in london in 1880 and is one of the uk's earliest pieces of sculptural art pottery. it's feared it'll be lost abroad unless a uk buyer can be found to pay the 260,000 pound asking price.
7:30 am
let's take a look at the travel situation now... there's a good service on the tubes this morning. as i mentioned earlier — south western railway is affected by industrial action. there's no service at all on the shepperton line and replacement buses running to hampton court. on the roads — there's the usual delays northbound approaching the blackwall tunnel. eversholt street remains closed next to euston station for repairs to a burst water main. finally, in waterloo, baylis road is closed — that's also because of a burst water main. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello good morning. it was such a lovely end to the day yesterday, lots of late sunshine around and some warm and humid air now moving in from the south. today, it is set to feel rather humid, light winds and lots of early sunshine around too, but there will be some showers later on through the afternoon. but it's a dry start to the morning, temperatures in double figures. cloud amounts will increase through the late morning. then we will start to see these showers. now, they could be very heavy in places. they are moving their way north—eastwards but lots of dry weather around for the second half of the afternoon.
7:31 am
top temperatures of 18 or 19 degrees celsius. the winds are falling very light and it will feel quite humid, but temperatures not desperately high. now, some very unstable air moving in overnight tonight. expect to see some thunderstorms, some lightning strikes and some torrential downpours. that warning is valid on tuesday night and all day on wednesday. so here come the showers again. expect to see some lightning, a rumble or two of thunder, temperatures remaining in double figures. again more heavy showers through the day on wednesday. a little bit of sunshine. feeling fresher, more sunshine on thursday. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's
7:32 am
main stories from bbc news. heathrow — one of the world's busiest airports — will publish details of its expansion plans this morning. the project to build a third runway is expected to cost £14 billion, but is facing fierce opposition from environmental campaigners. the public will have 12 weeks to comment on the plans. those behind the project insist reducing the site's carbon footprint is a priority. one of the things we'll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won't be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits. at least one of the candidates aiming to replace theresa may as prime minister will be eliminated later. a second secret ballot of conservative mps will take place this afternoon. those who do make the cut will take part in a debate on bbc1 tonight, including the frontrunner, borisjohnson who was well ahead in the first round of
7:33 am
voting last thursday. the united states is to send 1,000 extra troops to the middle east, amid rising tensions with iran. the white house said these pictures prove iran was to blame for the attacks on two tankers in the gulf of oman, and was responding to what it described as hostile behaviour by iranian forces. iran continues to deny any involvement in the attacks. a lack of training on how to treat eating disorders suggest that medical students may only receive a few hours training on issues like bulimia and anorexia. the nhs has failed to act. they see training in mental health, including eating disorders, makes up a key part of the gp curriculum. but that more
7:34 am
resources and funding are needed to deliver the best possible care. proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. but the government says many of the proposals are already covered by government policy. fashion has got to tackle its carbon, waste, and waterfootprints. one of the key things we recommended is that they should not be allowed to burn close. we sent 300,000 tons of close to landfill or incineration every year was up and, frankly, the public were astonished by this and the industry wants to do better. have a look at this. rather embarrassing from a politician ‘s' point of view. a lifestream press conference that descended into a filter was switched on by mistake.
7:35 am
the politician was shaukat yousafzai. the filter was turned on. facebook commentator started commentating. but not before some fun was had. if you wait for the picture the fellow on the left get some cat action. the politician who was giving a serious press conference that it was a mistake that should not be taken so seriously. difficult for people to concentrate on something serious when you are wearing a pair of cat is. they imagine some of the more serious news we should not have cat is on. deeply inappropriate. coming up on the programme, carol will have the weather. she is a calama. they say that because we have been talking a lot about dogs and their middag eyes. you can send in your pictures, but we will not be using them. sally is
7:36 am
here to talk about more controversy at the women's world cup. var. another controversial decision by the video assistant referee at the women's world cup and it could be a huge boost for scotland's chances of progressing. hosts france beat nigeria 1—0, thanks to a penalty — originally missed by wendie renard — but ordered to be taken again after replays showed the goalkeeper was off her line by a few centimetres. that gave renard the chance to score again and, in denying nigeria a point, it means if scotland win their final group game they would finish as a better placed third placed team than the african side, keeping alive scottish hopes. there's going to some frantic maths over the next few days. scotland know they need to beat argentina tomorrow. then they need to watch results on thursday — the main one being chile, who would need at least five goals to better scotland.
7:37 am
scotland may have lost both their games but the goals they got against england and japan in defeat could still be the key to a potential place in the last 16. i always thought when we came here that three points would, probably, depending on goal difference, would be enough. think that is still going to the case. it is certainly heading that way. so we definitely are looking at some planning and what the other groups are looking like. think most coaches will do the same. england play bottom side afghanistan in the cricket world cup at old trafford today, without injured batsman jason roy. he tore a hamstring in friday's win over west indies, but his skipper insists roy will recover in time to play a further part in the campaign. i certainly believe jason will play again in this tournament. at the moment he's going to assessed continuously over the course of the next week. he's out of the next two games. so we will see how he
7:38 am
pulls up after that. but you are optimistic you might be back for australia? no, absolutely. if not australia, maybe the following game. bangladesh beat west indies by seven wickets in taunton. the west indies looked in control with shai hope hitting 96 as his side reached 321. that looked a tall order for bangladesh but they reached it comfortably with 51 balls to spare. liton das hitting the winning runs. it may not feel like it weather—wise, but there's just under a fortnight now until wimbledon gets under way, and british number onejohanna konta got her grass—court season off to a great start with a straight sets victory over annett kontaveit in the birmingham classic. konta went into the first round match on the back of a french open semi—final, two wta finals, and she took the first set 6—4. konta was always in control and took the second set 6—2 to move into the second round. before that, heather watson was beaten by czech player barbora strycova.
7:39 am
in the men's tournament at queens, cameron norrie went a set up against kevin anderson. but anderson, who was runner—up at wimbledon last year, won the next two to move into the second round. james ward was later beaten by gilles simon. defending champion marin cilic saw off the challenge of chile's cristian garin. cilic won in straight sets. british number one kyle edmund plays top seed stefanos tsitsipas later. now then marathon runners are used to roaming around some of the world's most spectacular cities. not this marathon. take a look. the venue was shepton mallet prison, the oldest working prison in the uk up until it was closed six years ago. 100 athletes in fancy dress took part — running through a wing and b wing, upstairs, along prison corridors and through exercise yards.
7:40 am
the winner was michael burke who negotiated the course in just underfour and a quarter hours. i don't know how long each lab was, but it could be repetitive. do you wa nt to but it could be repetitive. do you want to say it or shall i? you can do it. just in the nick of time. sally. go to your room.|j sally. go to your room. i will. maybe he had to walk around the corner. thank you very much. at least one of the six remaining candidates, hoping to become the next prime minister, will be eliminated from the contest later, in a secret ballot of mps. the remaining hopefuls will then go head to head in a debate on bbc one. let's join our political correspondent nick eardley in the debate studio now. nick, what can we expect tonight? good morning. absolutely, louise. eight o'clock tonight, whoever is left in that race will be in this studio. i think they can show you around here there are five seats at the moment. that is the maximum
7:41 am
number of candidates. there could be less tonight. the person with the lowest vote definitely goes out. it is also possible that there could be fewer, because you need 33 votes to get through tonight. that is not going to be easy. three of the candidates are going to find that a challange come i think. in the last round they got far fewer than that number. rory stewart, you had on earlier this hour, saying he is hopeful he gets there, but thinks it will be tight. sajid javid as well is cautiously optimistic, they told. dominic raab was back on 23 last time, he may struggle to get there. so many brexiteers are backing boris johnson. all eyes are going to be on mrjohnson, whichever one of the ct will be in tonight. we have not heard a lot from him in this campaign —— seats. you'll be asked not just about brexit, campaign —— seats. you'll be asked notjust about brexit, questions about his brexit policy, but also about his brexit policy, but also about his brexit policy, but also about his wider programme for government and what he wants to do if he gets that top job. michael
7:42 am
gove and jeremy hunt, i think will be in this room tonight as well. they got over the 33 number needed in the last vote. a busy night ahead. i should say, they will not be an audience. emily maitlis will be an audience. emily maitlis will be here, the candidates will be in the five seats, which will have cellophane off them by that point, i hope. and questions will be coming in from around the country, bbc studios around the uk. folk will be able to ask questions down the line and the five candidates, or however many are left, will answer. and the five candidates, or however many are left, will answerlj and the five candidates, or however many are left, will answer. i wanted to ask you more about that format. each candidate will have to answer each question, how does it work? every candidate will answer the question when it is asked. it's really interesting, actually, i was speaking to somebody one of the campaigns this morning about how you prefer for something like this. campaigns this morning about how you preferfor something like this. for three of them they are ready, boris johnson, michael gove, jeremy hunt
7:43 am
to fully expect to be here and are preparing with a teams intensely, i'm sure. the others are not sure they will be here. i'm told most of them will be spending the morning practising with their teams. what normally happens is somebody please the presenter and some other people will play the other candidates and they will run through their lines, run through what they want to say on the note. they will be doing that anyway. but for at least one of them it will be a waste because they won't be here, unfortunately for them —— night. won't be here, unfortunately for them -- night. it is quite a tense time for them in the preparation. then, of course, everybody will be studying body language, who won as well, won't they sell it is fascinating. you will notice that there aren't electrons here. you will know everybody will know when somebody is on their notes. to the seat the right of the seats they are somewhere to put a glass of water and any nodes they might have, but there is not a podium like this one, which the presenter, emily maitlis, will have. it will be interesting to
7:44 am
see how often they consult their notes, how much is in their heads. the big question come i think, of the night will be how much people try and attack borisjohnson, basically. he is the man to beat in this race. miles ahead of everybody else when it comes to the votes in parliament, of tory mps, we think he is far ahead with the tory members as well. so there will be a big effort, i think, as well. so there will be a big effort, ithink, to as well. so there will be a big effort, i think, to try to scrutinise his policies from the other candidates. we heard just after seven from rory stewart, the main reason he wants to be here tonight, apart from the factory want tonight, apart from the factory want to be prime obviously, is he wants to be prime obviously, is he wants to put boris johnson to be prime obviously, is he wants to put borisjohnson under some scrutiny. rory stewart has had this wave of momentum over the last few days that could see him get through to today's vote and he wants to get here so he can say to borisjohnson how will you get your brexit plan through? what you want in government? whoever is he i'm sure
7:45 am
it will be rowdy and fascinating. thank you very much indeed. good to get a sneak preview of the studio as well. and that starts at eight p.m.. it is on bbc one. interesting to see who makes it through to the final five. here is carol with a look at the morning's weather for you. good morning everyone. this is what people will see tonight and also tomorrow but some of us seeing some of thunder in activity already this morning, but securely around the channel islands. warm, humid u nsta ble channel islands. warm, humid unstable air from iberia, channel islands. warm, humid unstable airfrom iberia, it is coming in across the south—eastern quarter of the uk. this is where the met office has a yellow warning for heavy thundery downpours and it is valid from six o'clock this evening until nine o'clock tomorrow evening. areas likely to see these thundery
7:46 am
downpours illustrated in the yellow. up downpours illustrated in the yellow. up to 50 millimetres. some of us will not see anything. we are highlighting this because some will fall on already saturated ground so the risk of localised flooding. thunderstorms are not unusual for this time of year. thundery activity and heavy channel alignment moving northwards. the odd rumble of thunder as it can genius to journey north to wales, southern england and the south—east. also some cloud at the south—east. also some cloud at the moment in east cumbria. northern england not a bad day at all. lengthy sunny skies. northern ireland and scotland a mixture of sunshine and showers. if you are off
7:47 am
to queens or royal ascot, the cloud building. possible showers at lunchtime and through the course of the day. humid in the south—east, not just today but tomorrow as well. tomorrow the risk of showers with potential rumbles of thunder. so they will feel fresher with change in the wind direction. tonight, we lose the showers from today. through the night we started to import more from the english channel moving north. this is the area represented by the met office yellow warning. away from that, clear skies across northern england, scotland, northern ireland. temperatures falling between nye in the north to a muggy 14 in the south—east. tomorrow we start off with thundery showers. —— nine in the north. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder here. it
7:48 am
will brighten up in south—west england and wales. ready bride in northern england scotland. another humid field to the day in the south—east but generally 18—19 elsewhere. the weather from producing the thunderstorms it moves away. high—pressure stars to build then. you can see the yellow is coming in with the change in wind direction, feeling fresher. a few showers. heaviest in western scotland. temperatures up to 20. it sounds like some people might have a difficult night. it sounds like some people might have a difficult nightlj it sounds like some people might have a difficult night. i was looking at the six month forecast... i know that carole doesn't believe in it but it doesn't look good. but do they know? this time last year...
7:49 am
it was lovely. looking back at pictures on my phone, it was lovely. iam sure pictures on my phone, it was lovely. i am sure she will dismiss me, carole. now, here's a phrase you don't hear everyday. middle—aged money mules. confused? sean's going to explain all. good morning. i'm talking about people — particularly those over 40 — who are scammed into receiving cash into their bank account and then transferring it elsewhere. it is a type of money laundering and a fraud that cifas, the organisation that monitors this, says is becoming more common. looking at the numbers, the number of people being lured into becoming money mules, up by more than a quarter. they've also noticed a big increase in identity fraud particularly where a false id is used to obtain a credit card. how are we being tricked into all this? i'm joined by sandra peaston, director of strategy, policy and insight at cifas.
7:50 am
good morning. let's start with money meals, it feels like the kind of thing you see you movies but people in the uk are becoming money meals. people who are paid money or given gives or credit to move money through their bank account on behalf of criminal groups. quite often, they will be recruited on social media. posts saying you have a bank account with this institution, come and talk to us and we will pay you money to move money for your account. it is the proceeds of crime they are moving so the offence is money laundering. you will be told you're moving money from an account and getting paid for it. i they knowingly breaking the law? knowingly is an interesting question. essentially someone is
7:51 am
saying here is some money for doing very little and you should be questioning that. the level of understanding and the fact that what they are committing is money laundering is not as clear. they are committing a serious criminal offence with a maximum 14 years in prison and hopefully that would deter some people in engaging in that. somewhere along the way, somebody is being scammed out of somebody is being scammed out of some money. if you are defrauded, the banks will cover it. does that help? it is great for the person who is being scammed because they do not have their lives devastated by losing large amounts of money, possibly their house. a story of a poor lady who went buying a house but was conned into paying a quarter
7:52 am
million into the wrong account. the fa ct million into the wrong account. the fact that in this situation she would not be losing that money, finding herself destitute is great for her but that amount of money has gone into criminal hands stop you still have loads of people within the network and that is where the meal is in. behind that there is a very them. a lot of the money meals middle aged. as we always talk about, if something seems too good to be true, it might well be. it's one of motorsports most prestigious events. winning the le mans 24—hour driving marathon is the ultimate goal for any serious endurance racer. now a team from britain is hoping to become the first ever all—disabled team to compete in the race. brea kfast‘s tim muffett has been to meet them.
7:53 am
it is known as the most inspirational team in motorsport. a disabled person can get an introduction into motorsport. dan smith is preparing to take to the track. i was involved in a traffic accident in december 2002. it left me paralysed from the upper chest downwards. it was form in 2015 and now has a five specially adapted ca rs now has a five specially adapted cars and this specially adapted simulator. we adapted one of the steering wheel is. we would have had to put a racer into a race car but now we can teach them new circuits on the simulator. it started to get injured troops into motorsport and we wanted to inspire other people with injuries. this is one of the
7:54 am
teams top drivers. autism does not affect my driving, in a way it helps me because i am able to focus on more things as the artistic brain a nalyses more things as the artistic brain analyses more data better than other people. the team helped billy get back into racing after he lost his legs in an accident. track days like this red chance to spot your talent. cancer. three times. the third time i lost my leg. you take life one day ata time i lost my leg. you take life one day at a time and enjoy every single day. and this is part of my enjoyment. i never thought! day. and this is part of my enjoyment. i never thought i would be able to do it. i am in my 50s and this is my third time. if they had not had opened it up would not be doing it. time for dan to take to the circuit. stay out to the left, no break. flying down the straight,
7:55 am
down the gears, take on the corner much faster the car sticks to the road and opens up and then you are off again. team brett has achieved the main aim to open up the sport to disabled workers but is has now got inside sets on one of the worlds most famous races. the lamont 24—hour. to be the first to race there, especially a british team, we are setting a standard for the rest of the world to follow. it would be a fantastic thing. taking to the track is not cheap but like many dan hope that one day he could take the chequered flag representing this inspirational team. very good luck to all of them. thank
7:56 am
you this morning for sending through thousands of puppy dog i pictures because... scientists think dogs have evolved their expressions over the last 33,000 years to basically manipulate us humans... into whatever they want is to do. we think they are right. we can only show you some of them, we do not know how to pick them. a yorkshire terrier here, despite only having one eye, she still manages to show her puppy eye. this is an eight —week—old rottweiler. it helps if you are a puppy as well. hazel sent this warning of ted. kevin shared this warning of ted. kevin shared this picture of his rescue dog, trying to squeeze into his suitcase. thank you so much for all your

8:01 am
it's a knockout — conservative mps prepare to whittle down the number of leadership contenders. making sure loyalty pays. a crackdown on companies that keep charging you for things you've already paid for and only give new customers the best deals. in sport, more controversial decisions from the video assistant referee at the women's world cup. a retaken penalty gives hosts france a win over nigeria and could be a huge boost to scotland's chances of progressing. and who could resist those puppy eyes — but did dogs develop a sad look to help them bond with us? largely trifling in wales, sunshine and showers. to northern ireland. more in 15 minutes. —— are largely dry for england and wales, sunshine

and showers. ten northern ireland. it's tuesday, the 18thjune. our top story: heathrow — one of the world's busiest airports — has announced long—awaited further details of its expansion plans this morning. the project to build a third runway is expected to cost £14 billion, but is facing fierce opposition from environmental campaigners. the public will have 12 weeks from today, to comment on the plans. our transport correspondent, tom burridge, reports. they queue at heathrow. 99% of landing and take—off slots at britain's main airport are full. they're notjust queueing up to take off, they're queueing up in the sky to get in. a plane will arrive or leave heathrow every 45 seconds. it's why heathrow says it needs a third runway. and this is the airport's vision. the new runway will run over a new section of the busy m25. 761 homes will have to be moved, their owners compensated.
8:03 am
local roads will be moved, rivers diverted. a new low emission zone around heathrow could mean additional charges for many vehicles. and the airport hopes it will be linked up to great western and southern rail. a new runway means potentially 260,000 more flights per year. opposition groups say it will mean unacceptable levels of noise and pollution. but heathrow says at night every local community will have at least seven hours when a plane is not flying overhead. it insists reducing its carbon footprint is a priority. one of the things we'll be producing as part of the consultation today is our preliminary environmental impact assessment, which sets out the implications from an air quality, noise, and carbon perspective. they are really important factors and we have worked hard to make sure that we mitigate those. and, clearly, we won't be able to expand unless we deliver on those environmental limits.
8:04 am
heathrow also plans to develop its terminals to cope with the additional traffic. the next step is a planning application. the airport hopes work will begin on the third runway in 2022. tom burridge, bbc news, at heathrow. the united states is to send 1,000 extra troops to the middle east, amid rising tensions with iran. the white house said it was in response to what it described as "hostile behaviour" by iranian forces. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has this report. more evidence that iran is to blame. these are the photographs the pentagon says offer further proof that the attacks on two tankers in the gulf of oman were carried out by iranian forces. this image shows what the us military describes as the remnants of the magnetic attachment device of an unexploded limpet mine placed on one of the tankers. the pentagon says it proves that iran has the resources and proficiency needed to quickly
8:05 am
remove the unexploded mine. iran continues to deny any involvement in the attacks. announcing a further 1,000 troops to be sent to the middle east, the acting us secretary of defense, patrick shanahan, said the recent iranian attacks validated credible intelligence on hostile behaviour by iranian forces, threatening united states personnel and interests across the region. the extra troops come on top of 1,500 announced last month. the us military says their role will be defensive, addressing air, naval, and ground—based threats. the us is insisting it does not seek conflict with iran, but with tensions rising, the region is looking increasingly unstable. peter bowes, bbc news. at least one of the candidates aiming to replace theresa may as prime minister will be eliminated later, following the result of a second secret ballot of conservative mps. those who do make the cut will take part in a debate on bbc one tonight, including the frontrunner,
8:06 am
borisjohnson. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley. he is actually on the site it will all take place in this evening. have all take place in this evening. have a look around and tell us how it work tonight? 12 hours now, whoever is left in the conservative leadership race will be here pitching their ideas to be the next prime minister. obviously what they all have to say will be really important but i think most of the pressure will inevitably be on boris johnson. it is the first time we will have seen him live on tv since leadership campaign began and it is an opportunity for the others to scrutinise his policies. they say they are not sure how he will deliver his brexit plan and his other policies, and to see exactly what he wants to do with the keys to number ten. no audience tonight but questions from around the uk, people
8:07 am
are being beamed into the studio from the local bbc studios and we will get more of an idea this evening about exactly what the various candidates want to do with the keys to number ten. provides before that happens, somebody will before that happens, somebody will be eliminated, what you think will happen? five ct and now, that is the maximum number there could be tonight because the person with the lowest number of votes will go out, but it could be more, because the threshold to get through to tonight is 33 votes. —— five seats here now. boris johnson is miles in front and will definitely be here tonight, michael gove and jeremy hunt are probably 0k. gove and jeremy hunt are probably ok. rory stewart, we have heard him on breakfast this morning, he is one of the three who might face a challenge to get here. he has a bit of momentum and you might get over the threshold, he really wants to be here to interrogate borisjohnson. i am till sajid javid is cautiously
8:08 am
optimistic on a dominic raab might struggle to get enough brexiteers backing him to be here. —— i and told sajid javid is cautiously optimistic and dominic raab might struggle. more information about our next pm later tonight on the bbc. and it is still under construction, with cellophane on the chairs. hpn tonight, as nick was saying. —— and 8pm tonight. it would take £3.8 billion to reverse the cuts in school spending in england mover the last ten years, according to analysis by the institute for fiscal studies. the ifs says to restore funding on sixth forms and colleges would cost almost a further half a billion. the government insists every local authority has been given more money for every pupil since 2017, and schools are getting help with cutting costs. proposals designed to tackle the environmental impact of the fashion industry, have been rejected by the government. the recommendations put forward by mps on the environmental audit
8:09 am
committee, hoped to end the culture of throwaway clothes and poor working conditions. but the government says many of the proposals are already covered by government policy. fashion has to tackle its carbon waste and water footprints. and one of the key things we recommend it was they should not be allowed to burn clothes. we send 300,000 tonnes of codes to landfill or incineration every year, and frankly the public we re every year, and frankly the public were astonished by this and the industry wants to do better. it's 8:09. a serious lack of training for doctors on how to treat eating disorders is contributing to avoidable deaths, according to a committee of mps. their report says that medical students may getjust a few hours of training on issues such as bulimia or anorexia, and that the nhs has failed to act on recommendations to improve services. our health correspondent, dominic hughes reports. for the past decade, hannah has lived with an eating disorder. it's a potentially very serious
8:10 am
condition, and yet she struggled to get the help she needed. there was a long wait, actually, when i was 19, to get help. so the wait was about six months for some cbt group therapy, and by that point, that wasn't really sufficient. and also, within six months i was extremely unwell, and by that point i was having, you know, suicide attempts. for those suffering with an eating disorder, getting treatment quickly is vital. but the eating disorder charity beat says, last year, one in five adults in england had to wait longer than 18 weeks, while one in ten had to wait longer than 24 weeks. the average waiting time in england was nine weeks, but the charity says patients face a postcode lottery for treatment. what we found was that, for some areas, people are being seen within two weeks. for others, they're waiting almost six months. it's a real variety across the country, and that's having detrimental impacts upon people's health. for those like hannah, who are living with an eating
8:11 am
disorder, a clear understanding of the illness is key. but a report from a committee of mps says the training medical students receive can amount to just a few hours. they warn that, without better training and more joined—up services to help people like hannah, the nhs is risking avoidable deaths. dominic hughes, bbc news. joining us now is dr sandeep ranote from the royal college of psychiatrists. and suzy talbot, who has lived with eating disorders since she was a teenager. frankie is so much for coming to talk to us. dr sandeep ranote, tell usa talk to us. dr sandeep ranote, tell us a little about your experiences of moving through the nhs with what you have been through? —— suzy, tell usa you have been through? —— suzy, tell us a little about your experiences? i sought help when i was about 14, that was 16 years ago, i was sent to a counsellor who was not eating disorder specific. i carried on with
8:12 am
those habits and three years ago i finally sought help after my cousin had taken her own life, and i started to get panic attacks and anxiety as a result of, i think, the grief and some of the shock, and i started to faint because i was not nourishing myself properly, so i went to get help from the nhs and they targeted the eating disorder first. but it was a little bit of a struggle to get help. to get them to understand or to get access to the ca re understand or to get access to the care you needed? to get them to understand that gp level, and i understand that gp level, and i understand that gp level, and i understand that gps had to be the first port of call for every illness so first port of call for every illness so they can't necessarily understand everything, but to get the help that i needed and even to have face—to—face appointments. once i got in there and got with the psychiatric team then it was a different story. but then once that formal treatment stops, you will
8:13 am
almost cut of, there was no additional support group for if you just need some additional help, you are just need some additional help, you a re left just need some additional help, you are left a bit stranded. let's speak with you, dr sandeep ranote, about the beginning of thejourney with you, dr sandeep ranote, about the beginning of the journey that you had many other people will have had. when people are going to their gps, we spoke about a very short amount of training given specifically for eating disorders, is that one of the problems? yes, and can! is that one of the problems? yes, and can i first say thank you, suzy, for sharing that, it is so crucial and important to hear from people who had suffered with the illness, and that lived experience is crucial not only to help us develop future services and improve them, but the training. one of the important things in training is yes, academics, but it is very important to co—develop other training with people who have lived experience.
8:14 am
that is very important in terms of recognition, early warning signs and symptoms. more training across the workforce , symptoms. more training across the workforce, not just symptoms. more training across the workforce, notjust specialists, so gps and primary care, but earlier than that, at medical school, university, undergraduate level. you mentioned that at some places there is maybe one or two hours of training, that has to improve, increase and get better. did you have to do your own research? when i was at medical school? in eating disorders specifically, very little, very little training. we would not acce pt very little training. we would not accept that for diabetes or cancer and we must not accept that for all mental health, particularly eating disorders. because it is a serious illness, a serious neurobiological illness, a serious neurobiological illness and people lose their lives from this. it is notjust doctors, either, in terms of the workforce.
8:15 am
really importantly, suzy, i heard you say it was difficult to go to yourgp you say it was difficult to go to your gp because of the shame. we need to train other professionals you would come into contact with, walk—in centres, accident and emergency, even dentists and dental nurses, that is one of the physical consequences of eating disorders can be difficulties with dental hygiene. so the more we train the wider workforce to recognise and understand, then they can hopefully get people the support and help more quickly, because early intervention, what susie is saying, is really crucial. we might not have a cure for eating disorders but we can get people much better if we intervene earlier, and the royal charles dunne lots of workarounds early intervention, so we need to get better at that screening and detection. would an earlier intervention have helped you, suzy?
8:16 am
couple of times i went to the doctor and said! couple of times i went to the doctor and said i have really bad acid reflux and i had a history of eating disorder and they gave me a prescription for antacids, rather than... that would be a key sign? yes, i sort of admitted it, if you times i was asking for help and nobody heard. i think it is a cliche but you have to be ready to change, with eating disorders when you are at your lowest and can admit that you need help is quite rare, if you have admitted it and gone through the change of saying you have a problem to a complete stranger, if you are waiting a significant time for treatment, the eating disorder voice gets louder and it says you have this, this is not a problem, you can solve it yourself, you are not worthy of help, other people need help more than you, then you're back away. i could have done that is my family were not about saying it isa my family were not about saying it is a problem, you are fainting at work, you need help. ithink
8:17 am
is a problem, you are fainting at work, you need help. i think that is why it is really critical that even if there is a waiting list for treatment there is some sort of regular and compassionate and sympathetic contact from a medical service, because i found the lack of compassion and sympathetic language perhaps used by doctors quite difficult. can i ask you, saying to your doctor, i am struggling with this but i have had eating disorders in the past, how big a moment was that for you to admit that? really big, and because the doctor does not ta ke big, and because the doctor does not take it seriously you think this can't be a problem, it can't be serious, that is why i will keep on with my behaviours. now i have gone through treatment and recovery, they we re through treatment and recovery, they were significant and they were traumatic and bad for me. i'm sure a lot of people relate to what you call the eating disorder voice, thank you both for your time. let us know what you think. a department of health
8:18 am
and social care spokesperson said: "we know early intervention is vital. health education england is currently working with experts to review training and education resources, to help professionals spot the signs of an eating disorder and act quickly to diagnose and treat it. " we asked them for their comments. for details of organisations which offer advice and support with eating disorders, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline. it is high time we got some weather with carol. i was talking about the six month forecast i have looked at, you have one to me before about the inaccuracy of one of those. is it garbage? —— inaccuracy of one of those. is it garbage? —— you have warned me before. it looks at trends rather than what we look at in the short—term, there is value otherwise nobody would do it. back to today, some thunderstorms coming our way later tonight. some will be heavy and some

looks at me with those eyes. -- to your dogs beg at the table? i throw scraps, i know you are not meant to. yes, she looks at me adoringly. scraps, i know you are not meant to. yes, she looks at me adoringlylj had a labrador growing up with my pa rents, had a labrador growing up with my parents, my mum is a very good cook, but if she ever cooked something i was not too keen on i would sneak it to thejob was not too keen on i would sneak it to the job under the table. thank you for all of your pictures, we have loved looking at them. it is all because scientists say that over the last 33,000 years dogs have evolved an ability to change their expressions. they are the master manipulators. and cats can do it, as carol has proved. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning: john maguire's in wainfleet, where two months' rain fell in just two days last week, forcing hundreds of people out of their homes. a really difficult time for them?
8:25 am
good morning. you are right, about 580, we think, houses were evacuated but only around 35 houses have water coming inside. an incredible effort by everyone across the community once the rain really started bumping and last week. you can see sandbags, they were distributed by boat, car, four wheel drive. the big problem was when the river breached its banks, that crack appeared in the water flowed, very dramatic pictures. the raf brought in helicopters and dropped ballasts to bridge the gap, 100 tonnes, they did an incrediblejob. across lincolnshire, very famously flat and low lying, also the place where we get so much of our veg from in the uk. farmers will wonder what the effect has been like on their fields. this field behind me is saturated, i can see water in the distance and right at the end, you probably will not be able to quite
8:26 am
make it out, some fire brigade trucks pumping out water. the environment agency brought in some of those giant pumps to try to get the water levels down, it has been bright and breezy for the last couple of days, which has helped enormously. rain has fallen again over the last 48 is. the weather looks pretty dodgy for the next 24 hours, as carol has said, the grant is very saturated. i had spoken to a couple of local people and the hope is that the weather will pass south of where we are this morning and not further cause any problems. later in brea kfast we further cause any problems. later in breakfast we will speak to people who have had to be brought out of their houses, a couple who had water up their houses, a couple who had water up to chest level and have not got back to their houses. some people are getting back to their properties and meeting lots ofjustice from insurance companies. a very busy scene, lots of work to recover and fingers crossed that the bad weather does not return. now the
