good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: thousands more jobs are to go in the aviation industry. plane—maker airbus is the latest to lay off workers. 1700 jobs will go between this site in north wales and filton near bristol. unions say this is an act of industrial vandalism. the government says not everyjob can be saved. life in lockdown — shops in leicester close their doors as schools prepare to send pupils home. he's done it! 5—year—old tony hudgell completes his charity walk raising more than £1 million. we'll look back at his

inspiring journey. remembering the man who should've been england's first black player. jack leslie was the victim of racism, now fans want to see him honoured with a statue outside his club. good morning. it's going to be a fairly cloudy day today. having said that, there will be some sunny intervals but there will also be quite a lot of showers, and some of those will be heavy and thundery. i'll have all the details at 6:27am. carol to come a little bit later on but... it's wednesday 1st of july. our top story: the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, airbus, has announced plans to cut 15,000 jobs including 1,700 in the uk. the aerospace giant said it doesn't expect air traffic to return to pre—pandemic levels until 2023, calling the current situation the "gravest crisis" the aviation industry has ever faced. andy moore reports. it's a global aerospace giant manufacturing a fleet of aircraft,

but airbus is being hit by coronavirus like every part of the aviation sector. thousands ofjobs will be lost at plants across europe. in the uk, it is expected about 1,700 jobs will go in lincolnshire and bristol, representing around 15% of the british workforce. airbus‘s chief executive warns the path to recovery would be slow and agile. we need to act now by adapting our workforce to reflect the new situation in the international aircraft sector and protect the longer term future of the company. jobs in the aviation sector are highly paid and highly skilled. it's estimated two or three jobs will be lost in supply chain for every singlejob that goes at our bus. —— airbus. you've been working very hard with airbus and many other companies

in the aerospace sector to try and avoid this happening but unfortunately, because of indecision by government to intervene, it's resulted in today's announcement. the government says it will do its best to minimise the impact. we accept that we cannot save every job, even though 9 million people have been furloughed through a scheme which is cost £20 million and counting. everyone realises you can't count on that forever. but we can't save everyjob. and there is even more grim news in the aviation sector from the airline easyjet. they warned they may have to close basis at stansted, southend and newcastle airports. the union unite says at least 1300 people could lose theirjobs. andy moore, bbc news. nina is outside the airbus factory in broughton in north wales this morning. nino, this is a really hard time for

eve ryo ne nino, this is a really hard time for everyone that works there and a stark reminder of the long—term effects of coronavirus? quite right, of the 6000 workers based here, many are returning this morning for the first time after being brought off furlough and they will find out their specific fate later this week. why these job losses 7 later this week. why these job losses? put simply, airbus makes planes and we're not flying and they don't think we will fly to the same level as pre—covid for about five yea rs. level as pre—covid for about five years. what can be done? unions say it's incumbent of the government to step in, as they have in france and germany, but the truth is as rates are around 10% of what they wear this time last year and that's led tojob this time last year and that's led to job losses at easyjet, ryanair, virgin atlantic, british airways — in all, there are predictions that in the aviation industry and its supply chain, more than 120,000 jobs could be lost before the end of the year. put simply — this is the

beginning and there's worse to come. nina, thank you very much. let's talk to our political reporter, nick eardley. good morning, nick. as well asjob losses in the aviation industry, there's bad news on the high street with shirt maker t.m.lewin announcing it is closing all its stores. there is real pressure on a number of industries at the moment? absolutely, and that's the fear politicians have, the furlough scheme nina was talking about, as thatis scheme nina was talking about, as that is gradually wound down up to october, those sectors that haven't got going again will frankly have to lay off thousands because they simply can't afford to keep them on their books. basically a lot of people have been kept in theirjobs by the state, and as that ends we could see huge increases in unemployment. that's what labour are talking about, they are pushing the government to do more to guarantee

jobs in those vulnerable areas. we heard the prime minister set out his grand economic vision yesterday, which was really focused on building an infrastructure to get things moving again, to get some money pumped out into the economy, but i suspect these job losses at airbus and all these other closures we've been talking about will lead to more pressure on the government to think more about exactly what they're going to do to halt mass unemployment happening as a result of. thank you, nick. good to talk to you this morning, and that's a theme we will pick up throughout the programme on breakfast. tighter lockdown measures continue to be introduced in leicester — schools will shut from tomorrow. it's the first city in england to have a local lockdown after a spike in coronavirus cases. geeta pendse is there for us this morning. we spoke to you yesterday and more details have emerged about how this lockdown will work. how are people taking it there? i think generally

there is a sense of acceptance now, but yesterday there was a lot of confusion as people tried to work out whether they were in or out of the restricted area as a map was released with the boundary and the mayor of lester again criticised the government for not releasing data more quickly to the local authority and that's been echoed again today by the british medical association by the british medical association by saying more generally the government should release data more quickly to areas where there asked bike going forward. in leicester, as you mentioned, non—essential shops have closed and today is the last day of school for many children here because the schools will close from tomorrow. there's also lots of questions about policing because come saturday, nearby areas like nottingham, loughborough, market harborough will see the easing of restrictions and there's questions about whether people will be tempted

there. there's the sense that they are hoping people will feel united and determined to get through this as quickly as possible. thank you very much indeed for getting us up to date this morning, thank you. a lockdown will be re—imposed in some neighbourhoods of australia's second city melbourne later today following a surge in new coronavirus infections. more than 300,000 people will be banned from crossing the state border into new south wales and there will be heavy fines for breaching the restrictions. authorities say extraordinary steps are needed to bring the infection rate back under control. a new treatment for cystic fibrosis, described as "truly life changing", is being made available for nhs patients in england. experts say nine out of ten people with the life—limiting condition, which causes breathing and digestion problems, will benefit from the three—drug combination. the nhs in scotland, wales and northern ireland could also follow suit. those are some of the main stories around this morning. over a third of universities

and higher education institutions in the uk will deliver lectures online only for at least the first term of the next academic year, according to research by this programme. information obtained by bbc breakfast and analysis of publicly available data also found that most universities will be charging students in full. tim muffett reports. student life as was. lectures, learning, people, parties. buta measure of the reality that awaits. the university sorry, where preparations are being made for september. there will be fewer stu d e nts september. there will be fewer students on campus, lecture theatres remain empty as lech is move online. we're looking at the guidance we are receiving from the government and putting that into practice. we're going to have 1—way traffic when we need to and we will have limited numbers of students and certain capacities on some spaces. bbc breakfast has analysed the views

of 166 universities and higher education institutions across the uk. there are 178 in total and this research was done before the most recent government announcement regarding the easing of lockdown restrictions. more than a third said that from september, lectures will be online only for the first term at least. when it comes to smaller groups, for tutorials and seminars, 60% of universities said they would be delivered through a combination of online and face—to—face sessions. laurel from bolton has been put off education, she's going to defer her place at leeds arts university for a year. i don't really want to be paying upwards of £9,000 to do online learning, especially from home. university's, like, and experience, it's notjust a degree at the end of three years — it's going away from home and doing things as, like, an adult for the first time. how do you feel about

all this uncertainty? it's kind of terrifying, being 18 and going out into the world is terrifying as it is but to then have a world where everything is uncertain upon what you're already uncertain about, it's, like, overwhelming. this summer term, more than 90% of universities suspended all face—to—face teaching and yet only one, staffordshire, reduced its fees for uk students. the overwhelming majority of universities are planning to charge students fees in the full next year. this isn't the university experience some have signed up for, shouldn't there be some reduction in fees? students will have access to our excellent academic staff who will be teaching them and teaching them in different ways, so it's not about reducing fees, it's about ensuring excellent education. for school friends kieran and brama, there are glimmers of light and its gloom. online

lectures, there could be a benefit if they are recorded and you will be able to learn in a different way. grades permitting, both intend to go to university in september. is it right you should pay full these for your university experience? i'm not too sure, my university has assured me that all the resources i would need will be in the libraries and my lectures and seminars will be transferred online, so i guess that's ok, but so many of university isn't about the academics, it's about the clubs and societies, which i will miss out on. where your id ca rd i will miss out on. where your id card and a face covering at all times. the university east london has produced this promotional video for new students. we have here a campus which houses over 10,000 students on a normal basis, so actually to get that campus covid secure is actually

obviously quite a challenge. you've got to deliver a full university experience, it cannot be replaced with an online experience. the department of education in england told the bbc it was up to universities to set their own fees and students should be given as much certainty and transparency as possible. scottish universities in scotla nd possible. scottish universities in scotland don't pay fees, the government said there that safety on campus would be a priority during the phased return from september. the welsh government said: the northern ireland executive said: compared to previous years, though, higher education is likely to look and feel very different. tim muffett, bbc news. do you want to get in touch with us

about that? lots of people will feel strongly, parents and university students, about what should happen. you can find us on e—mail bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk is the you can find us on e—mail bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk is the e—mail and you can find us on social media as well. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads with a warning from scientists that more local lockdowns could be on the way, as restrictions are tightened in leicester following a rise in coronavirus cases. the mirror focuses on boris johnson's pledge to spend £5 billion to help the uk's economic recovery. the paper carries a warning from unions that the plans may not be enough to prevent mass job losses. the bank of england's chief economist says the uk's economy is rebounding from the lockdown far faster than expected, according to the the times. the picture is of 58—year—old mal martin who is preparing to return home to his wife and children after recovering from coronavirus, two months after he was told he had almost "zero chance" of survival. and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning is about how many of us are getting more active since the lockdown. demand for an nhs—backed running app is up 92% on last year,

having been downloaded by 858 million people between march and june. that is a staggering number, isn't it? it really is. iwonder that is a staggering number, isn't it? it really is. i wonder how many of them are running. well, that's the thing. it is like when you are revising for an exam... what, you buy all the books? and you organise your desk, but you actually have to do it, haven't you? we are talking about universities and what is going to happen when they go back in september or october, whenever they go back. this is interesting about interviews, as well. oxford university, the interview process is pretty daunting. you have to go and stay overnight in one of those ancient colleges for a sort of grilling ina ancient colleges for a sort of grilling in a don's book blind study. now they are saying that actually instead of face—to—face, for the first time the university is going to turn to online admissions

interviews. videoconferencing softwa re interviews. videoconferencing software will be used. maybe it is not so tough because you are actually in the comfort of your own home, so you are in that environment, but still i quite scary. you would quite like some of these questions. you don't have to a nswer these questions. you don't have to answer them, but i know that you have seen queries such as how much of the past can you count? why do lions have means? questions that have actually been asked —— manes. here is a cactus, tell me about it. what does this rock look like? anyway, there you go. i am not sure they would be much easier, actually, as well. i have gone slightly more lowbrow in my choice from the papers. a cat who has disappeared for 12 years has come back. this is gucci, and vicki, her delighted owner. the cat went missing for a

full 12 years. for months, the owner made the two mile trip around, trying to find out where she was, putting posters up, all in vain. and then two weeks ago, she turned up. a local cat lover had been feeling... this is what cats do, they don't really care about you, cats, do they? don't upset cat lovers! go, it is true. it is not true. i am very much a dog person, my mum enjoys cats, but i just much a dog person, my mum enjoys cats, but ijust have a feeling that ifa cats, but ijust have a feeling that if a cat really needed to, they would eat you. i can feel the heat coming from cat lovers everywhere. they are going to send the year. the most watched movies that we are really watching during lockdown, have a guess at some of these ones being re— watched. people returning to their favourite movies. being re— watched. people returning to their favourite movieslj being re— watched. people returning to their favourite movies. i have watched the whole of star wars. star

wa rs watched the whole of star wars. star wars is on the list, apparently on average people watch star wars movies 11 times. during lockdown? notjust during lockdown. on average people watched dirty dancing 12 times in their life. how many times have you? five or six. you keep coming back to the dance at the end of it, nobody puts baby in the corner? it is the whole thing. the other things, lethal weapon, back corner? it is the whole thing. the otherthings, lethalweapon, back to the future, jaws, lion king, and because times have been difficult for the last few months, a bit of comfort watching goes a long way. very good morning to you. five—year—old tony hudgell promised to walk 10 km to raise money for the hospital which saved his life. yesterday, scores of well—wishers turned up to see him do just that. he has raised more than £1

million along the way. brea kfast‘s graham satchell looks back at his inspiring story. applause five—year—old tony hudgell is taking the final few steps of an extraordinary challenge. the captain had done it. i saw him on tv the other day, i said had done it. i saw him on tv the other day, isaid i had done it. i saw him on tv the other day, i said i could do that. the plan—to walk every day for a month and raise money for the hospital that saved his life. we wa nt to hospital that saved his life. we want to raise money, £500. isn't that right, mum? he has done a little better than that. people have donated more than £1 million. it's a lot of money, isn't it? yes! are you ready? lets go. take it nice and

he absolutely wants to. he has proved that. he has proved that today. he has proved that by surviving. but, you know, whatever he wants, he will do, and i am sure he wants, he will do, and i am sure he will be a great success in life. applause it is just it isjust one it is just one of the great stories of the last 100 or so days of lockdown, isn't it? good on him. and we'll be talking to tony's mum and dad at 8:10am this morning. i think he is quite tired this morning, so he may not make an appearance. if he is there, he will say hello, but we will find out. we'll find out more about the so—called air bridges this week. these are the countries that british passengers can travel to without having to quaratine when they get there. more than 15 are thought to be on the government's list, including france. let's speak to caroline leboucher, who is the chief executive of the french tourism board. she joins us from paris. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. so do you know

that france is on this list? well, we don't know yet. we hope so. i checked this morning. the fco and the french foreign office websites have not changed so far, but we are really looking forward to it. so you say you are looking forward to, will british tourist to be welcome in france? yes, sure. it's kind of a love affair, really, between france and the uk. we welcome 50 million british travellers every year in france, and you know, it is very easy, really, to come to france. france is right next door. within very easy a ccess . france is right next door. within very easy access. you can't get stuck here, and you can even self drive. that is a good point. so tell us drive. that is a good point. so tell us what visitors could expect, and what sorts of preparations do you think they might need to make before going to france, and consider? so i think that first of all, of course,

they should check the fco's website. and then i think that for those already familiar with france, i would advise them to choose a destination they are already familiar with, or otherwise ask friends or relatives, or even better, their travel agent, for some advice where to go. then afterwards, once they have chosen a destination, we advise to contact their hotel or campsite to check their cancellation policies, how to book a visit to tourist sites, museums, how to book into a restaurant, and the distance to the nearest hospital, for example. you can check, of course, our dedicated website. plenty of information on france.fr, 20 of information on france.fr, 20 of information regarding french destinations as well as health

measures implemented including an interactive map of main points of interest and health measures implemented. sorry to interrupt you, if for example they are going to paris, and we're looking at lovely pictures of paris, and they go to the eiffel tower, presumably there will be cues or booking systems. how will be cues or booking systems. how will it work? yes, so the eiffel tower reopened last week, and you should definitely book in advance so as to regulate float —— queues. that isa as to regulate float —— queues. that is a new policy that was implemented. and of course you should wear a face mask, as well. that is one of the various health measures implemented by the eiffel tower. and of course, the lifts are not operative, so it means that you should walk to the first floor of the eiffel tower, so be ready for that. this is a very good point. it is quite a long way, isn't it? thank you very much indeed for talking to

us. now, hold on a minute, i can't go until 6:27 a.m., because carol will have the weather at 6:27am. good morning. how are you?” will have the weather at 6:27am. good morning. how are you? i am impressed, that is how i am this morning. good morning, everybody. look at this blue sky in london this morning. some of us will see some sunshine today but not all of us will. there is a lot of cloud around to start the day. there is also some mist and fog mainly on the coast and hills, and we are also looking at some heavy showers. for some, they are also likely to be thundery. what is happening as we have this shallow area of low pressure. it is not particularly potent, and a couple of weeks france moving to it, introducing showers, or indeed some rain. first thing this morning we have some rain in kent. that will clear away, a lot of cloud around, and our weather front sinking south across scotland will get into northern ireland and into northern

england, bringing some showers with it. but for the rest of england and wales, we are not immune to a shower, and through the afternoon some of those could be heavy and also thundery. gusty winds, as well, particularly today across the english channel. and look at this, we have got a northerly wind coming across the far north of scotland, thohir cooler, disappointing for this first ofjuly, and as we push further south we are looking at 21 degrees. if you are out of the showers, in the sunshine, that will feel quite pleasant, and the best of the sunshine today will be across central and southern england down towards the south—east. now, through this evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade, but as our weather front come south, these showers will emerge. they are also going to be quite heavy and persistent as we go through the course of the night. not a particularly cold night for most, but note the north of the country. still with that northerly component to the wind. it will feel much cooler than elsewhere. now, as we had on from today into tomorrow, we still have got low pressure easing away with its front. a little knows

of high pressure comes in from the atla ntic of high pressure comes in from the atlantic as well, and we still have our weather front. so the weather front will still be producing some rain first thing in the morning. but gradually through the day that will pull away into the north sea, and then once again, as temperatures rise, in the sunshine we are looking at some hefty showers, particularly across some southern and eastern parts of england and wales. moved further north, for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, looking at bright spells with some sunshine, and once again there will be the odd shower knocking around. by be the odd shower knocking around. by the end of the afternoon some more rain and gusty winds coming across the far north of scotland, into the northern isles. so from thursday and friday we see a change, a low pressure system introducing more cloud, more rain and stronger winds. so through the day that will continue to advance steadily eastwards, cloud being thrown ahead of it as it does so. the driest conditions through daylight hours will be in the south—east, and temperatures, 12 in the north to 21 in the south. what about the

weekend? still in the south. what about the weekend ? still remains in the south. what about the weekend? still remains quite u nsettled. weekend? still remains quite unsettled. carol, thank you very much. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: jack leslie was footballing superstar in the 1920s, but he was stopped from playing for england because he was black. there's now a campaign for him to be honoured with a statue. it's been one of the big negatives as lockdown restrictions have eased, big piles of rubbish in beauty spots after hot days. why do people do it, and how can it be stopped? we'll be live at a park in rugby before 7am. and get ready for a new way to travel. e—scooters could be coming to a road near you next week, we'll find out if they're safe, and if they'll ease pressure on public transport. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: they were all the rage in moscow during the world cup a few years

ago. in the european cities, that's what people do, isn't it? with around on them. everybody was whizzing around, i got into it! the world's largest manufacturer of aeroplanes, airbus, is cutting thousands of jobs. 1,700 staff in the uk will be affected at two of the company's sites in bristol and north wales, while 15,000 jobs will be lost globally. the welsh government said the news was utterly devestating. meanwhile, easyjet has also announced plans to close three of its uk bases. the government is being urged to act more quickly to provide local councils with information about potential spikes in coronavirus cases. it's after criticism over the length of time it took to get testing data to officials in leicester. the british medical association wants ministers to be more open and transparent with information that they say is vital in containing outbreaks. us democratic presidential candidate joe biden has condemned donald trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis. mr biden says that the sacrifices people have made shouldn't be wasted by a president

who ignores the science. america's top expert on infectious diseases, dr anthony fauci, says he would not be surprised if new virus cases there reach 100,000 per day. it is 6:32am. now it's time for our daily appointment with our gp. we normally do it at this time in the morning. today we're joined by dr rosemary leonard, who's in south london. good morning, good to have you on the programme. good morning. picking up the programme. good morning. picking up on the programme. good morning. picking up on one the programme. good morning. picking up on one of those stories, the bma asking the government to be more transparent with local data regarding coronavirus, what's your experience in south london? are you and others getting the information you need? no, no. actually increasingly we get more of our information from the media than we do, as it were, centrally. the information that comes down to us tends to happen on the friday, we don't have local figures, so

tends to happen on the friday, we don't have localfigures, so i really echo the thoughts of the bma —we really echo the thoughts of the bma — we need much more transparency on this. there seems to be a problem getting very detailed information out, and it hasn't been explained why. but we do need that information if these local outbreaks are to be contained. rosemary, give us an idea, what information would help you and others? what we really need to know is really detailed information — where our people testing positive? is it because there's been screening being done in a care home, for instance, and there's a lot of positive cases. really down to that much detail, where exactly are the outbreaks happening and in what age groups?“ it because you don't think that data is available or it is and it's not filtering through? i imagine because the way you're speaking to us this morning, you have knocked on that door a few times? there seems a bit ofa door a few times? there seems a bit of a problem with where — not so much with the testing and the results but getting the results out.

testing is being done in php, public health england, labs and hospital la bs health england, labs and hospital labs and a lot are being done in big, private labs now and it seems to be getting... particularly, i'm not saying it is the fault of private labs, but they can get the phe data, the hospital data about their seems to be a problem with the private lab data and this may be because these labs are dealing with so many swabs and they don't actually know where they're coming from. we will pick up on some of that later when we speak to the government at 7:30am. i'm sure you're aware of the changes in lockdown this weekend that take effect in england with pubs and bars and effect in england with pubs and bars a nd restau ra nts effect in england with pubs and bars and restaurants reopening. in your job, does that feel you with a bit of trepidation or do you share the government's feeling, as we heard from them yesterday again, that people will stay sensible and calm? i'm very worried, and like most

doctors, we have had people that have been locked, as it were, in their houses and homes, many in inner cities in small flats for three months or more, and these people are frustrated. we've got youngsters who've had no education. the pubs are reopening and people are going to want to go out and celebrate, i can understand that, but i do feel for the police who are going to have to try and, as it were, keep these people under control. i suppose... would your advice be if people are going to do that to go back to the basics and make sure we are washing our hands? it is like day one talking about hand washing but does it go back to that again? yes, and i think and washing has got a bit forgotten now and it's still really important in terms of the spread of the virus. you can't go out... it's pretty difficult to go to the pub and wear a mask and keep it on, but do try

and keep your distance and yes, wash your hands and if you've been out, come back and wash your hands and have some hand sanitiser as well. what's your feeling about what's been happening in leicester over the last few days? again, with your medical hat on, you're talking about being slightly worried about the reopening of pubs and restaurants and bars, does that reassure you a little bit that the government are taking these local spikes seriously? we might see that again in other areas, in england particularly. yes, it is good now that they are pouring resources into leicester. i think people need to be aware — when we see the number of cases in leicester now, it is going to be very high simply because they are testing loads and loads of people who have no symptoms. now, normally with the test and trace system, uuuu the person who's got symptoms and then you get in contact with those who have been around them and say at

home but everyone in contact with a case in leicester is being tested and they're case in leicester is being tested and they‘ re discovering case in leicester is being tested and they're discovering there are lots of young people in particular who have no symptoms at all who are testing positive. rather reassuringly, the hospital admission rate in leicester has not gone up. the main people who have got this virus, even those who are real, they have not got it seriously, and that is very reassuring —— who are real. before you go, we are getting e—mails this morning about those struggling to get in contact with theirgp struggling to get in contact with their gp despite the general trend in advised to seek treatment where required, what is your advice for those finding it difficult to make contact, what's the best way to do that? the way of accessing gps has changed enormously and in my surgery we are using a brand—new e—mail system, you do it online, and i know for some older people in particular that can be confusing and difficult.

ring the reception, ring the surgery and say, "how do i access the doctor now?" because the whole system has changed. i know it's difficult, try not to get aggressive about it, my receptionists in particularly are taking calls non—stop and they're talking people through how to work the new system and people will have to get used to the fact of the idea walking into your gp surgery has long gone because we've got to keep all the waiting room chairs two metres apart, which means we can have very few patients in there at a time. thanks for that and the rest of your advice this morning, good to talk to you. good wednesday wisdom from doctorow, try not to be aggressive and then everything will be all right! —— doctorow. aggressive and then everything will be all right! -- doctorow. and wash your hands! sport now with kat. test cricket comes back next week but england's cricketers will play their first competitive cricket of sorts today because they placed each other ina bio today because they placed each other in a bio secure environment in southampton 's. —— southampton.

the england players have been in quarantine there, and they'll be split into two sides for this practice match. it'll take place over three days with places at stake in the test side to face west indies at the same venue in a week's time. ben stokes will be captain for the first test, he'll take charge of one of the sides today, whilejos buttler leads the other. we tend to look at ourselves as one cricketing family. we're behind closed doors here and learning from each other, so i've been reluctant to separate the two groups from that point of view but certainly when they're on the field, i expect good cricket out there and i that's what we'll get. what we have got is people that have come back in this bubble very fit from a physical point of view and, as i say, should bea point of view and, as i say, should be a good game of cricket. one to watch out for there. now lionel messi was already barcelona's all—time leading scorer, and last night he took his tally to an incredible 700 career goals. he did it in typically stylish fashion too, with a cheeky penalty against atletico madrid, in their 2—2 draw. messi is only the seventh player in history to reach the 700 mark

joining pele, and his current rival cristiano ronaldo, who's on 725. manchester united are up to fifth. 18—year—old mason greenwood was instrumental as they beat brighton 3—0 last night. he scored the first goal and set up another, helping move united up into what could be a champions league place. manager ole gunnar solskjaer says greenwood has emerged from lockdown a fitter, more exciting striker. we know we can score goals like this, but his general holder play, he's physical, he's getting stronger. i think the lockdown help him. when you're a young kid and you work at the intensity he's been doing, it's taken a toll on his body but the lockdown gave him time to fill out and i think you can see the benefit of it. finally a really interesting story we're covering for you this morning. jack leslie is a football player

you'd probably never heard of before today, but fans of plymouth argyle are starting a campaign to have his statue erected in the city. leslie was selected for to play for england in 1925. but, in the days before television, he was then taken out of the squad because he was black. clive coleman has the story. jack leslie, a phenomenal footballer, but was he denied his place in sporting history because of the colour of his skin? jack leslie played for plymouth argyle, then in the 3rd division, in the 1920s, and believed to be the first black player to captain a league side. here at plymouth, jack leslie scored 137 goals, at times, suffering racial abuse from both crowds and opponents but, in 1925, the club manager called him into his office and gave him some thrilling news —jack leslie had been picked to play for england. it was the talk of the town. but when the papers came out some days later, billy walker, of aston villa, was in the team. jack leslie was named as a travelling reserve. he never travelled.

england struggled a 0—0 draw in belfast while jack scored twice in plymouth‘s 7—2 victory at home to bournemouth. what happened to jack has passed into family history. you have the wedding picture there, which isjust lovely, isn't it? they looked so happy, didn't they? certainly did. lovely picture. yes. but in those days, you didn't have the television. if someone came down to watch him, they were not watching his football, they were looking at the colour of his skin and, because of that, he was denied the chance of playing for his country. plymouth argyle has already honoured one of its greatest players in this mural and has renamed its boardroom after him, but fans want a statue ofjack and a campaign is under. -- is —— is under way. we think, at a time when some

statues are coming down, we want to campaign to put a statue up, to celebrate jack leslie, his incredible achievements, but also to remember that historic injustice where he was denied his england cap. the last thing on my mind was me being the first black player to play for england. commentator: intercepted by dave anderson, he's on his way, one to his right, one to his left... —— viz anderson. 53 years afterjack leslie's selection in the national side, viv anderson became the first black player to win a full england cap. it's incredible that, to get the euphoria of getting the call up from the manager to say that you've been picked for england and then, within a few days, the letdown of being dismissed from the squad because of the colour of his skin, it is appalling, really. i'd never heard of jack leslie until two weeks ago and that's a crying shame, because what he achieved and what he did should be paramount in every black person's mind. but, hopefully, this statue we're trying to get erected will carry on his legacy. after his playing days, jack returned to his trade as a boilermaker before

ending his working life in the boot room of west ham, where he cleaned mud from the boots from england stars bobby moore and geoff hurst — hardly fitting for a man who should have been remembered alongside them and now, perhaps, will be. clive coleman, bbc news. feels like a very timely campaign, doesn't it, dan and lou? it does, what an amazing story. thanks the weather may not be as nice as it was this time last week, but there is growing concern that when the sun comes out again, so will the rubbish. beauty spots like parks and beaches have been plagued with litter as the lockdown has eased in recent weeks, as breakfast'sjohn maguire has been finding out. those who work to keep notjust our towns and cities but also our countryside and coasts clear of rubbish say they are shocked and saddened by these scenes. a perfect storm — easing of lockdown, sunny weather, many activities are still not allowed, and one crucial

ingredient. it's a clear case of individual responsibility that we just seem to have lost control of in the last to have in three months. and you know, it is incumbent on all of us to use it in. if the bins are full, you don't have an excuse to leave it behind. you could be bothered to bring the stuff to the park, you can be bothered to take it home and put it in the bin at home. it is really straightforward. now, that message will get through to some people, it won't get through to others, and that is where we really need robust enforcement. it also flies in the face of the progress made in recent years to reduce the amount of plastic ending up in our oceans. to see all the rubbish that was left this last week, when everybody just piled was left this last week, when everybodyjust piled onto the beach and just left it there, and not even attempt to try and bring it up to the bins. i can understand if people try to put it in a bin and a bin is full, but where it has just been left on a beach just to wash out to sea, and all the damage that can cause, that is utterly heartbreaking, and we're really upset about it. but here at salford,

near bath, plastic is the answer. a thin yellow line of traffic cones to deter visitors to a beauty spot after it was inundated with people and their rubbish. there are calls for a national and their rubbish. there are calls fora national anti— and their rubbish. there are calls for a national anti— littering campaign, and more money for local authorities, not just to campaign, and more money for local authorities, notjust to clear up mess, but also to issue on spot fines —— saltford. we are, campaigners say, in the grips of a letter emergency. —— litter emergency. i don't quite know what to say, so i am just going to move on. just send us am just going to move on. just send us your thoughts on that. let's cross now to our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn, who's at a park in rugby for us this morning. and they have a sort of radical idea to make people really think about what they have been up to. good morning. yes, good morning, dan, good morning, louise. youjoin morning. yes, good morning, dan, good morning, louise. you join me in the beautiful surroundings of

caldecott park in rugby this morning. green and tranquil, as you can see, but it has been the scene of sees of white as people have left their letter behind. —— litter behind. and the council have been collect and tons of extra rubbish every day and they want to do something drastic to make people realise how drastic it is. they are pulling off a little stunt later this morning. more on that injust a moment. but as you heard there from john, scenes of destruction replicated up and down the country, and there is a worry that our attitudes towards littering seem to be going backwards. i am joined attitudes towards littering seem to be going backwards. iam joined by richard machar when from keep britain tidy. have we gone backwards a couple of decades on this —— richard mcilwain. parks managers tell us this is the worst we have ever seen when it comes to anti—social behaviour, when it comes to litter. young people will be at

festivals now, on holidays abroad, and maybe some of that anti—social behaviour, particularly when it comes to scenes of litter left behind after some of the big festivals is actually transferring across to our parks as we come out of lockdown, and people are looking to congregate and have fun. of lockdown, and people are looking to congregate and have funm of lockdown, and people are looking to congregate and have fun. it is not all the public‘s fault, though, this. there is an issue with in provision. and people haven't been able to get to pubs or restaurants. we have been hearing about people getting food deliveries direct to park benches —— bin provision. they need to be helped, don't they? we have got to look at personal responsibility here. i think if you are looking at solutions, we are in the middle of a litter emergency. so we can't have any soft measures, we can't really let people off the hook. we are standing by to work with government and local authorities to put a campaign in summer to try to get a message out to use a bin or take it home, don't leave it behind. the government needs to put money forward for local authorities to put more staff, more toilets into parks. maybe we need to

think about banning barbecues, banning drinking and certain hotspot areas, certainly banning some of the nitrous oxide balloons and capsules that you see, and most of all there is actually a huge number of people in this country who care passionately about this issue and go out day in, day out, picking up litter themselves. and maybe we need a call to arms to actually get them out to help local authorities over the summer, when the weather is warm. richard, thank you very much, and there is also an issue with single—use plastic, as well. the government says it is committed to turning the tide on that. it says it has given councils the power to spot fine people and extra money during this pandemic to deal with all the extra complications. rugby council, though, says it is seeing huge amounts of litter and it thinks it might get worse this weekend. a little bit later on it will be dumping, behind me, ten tons of rubbish to demonstrate this problem, and it assures me it will be picking

it allup again. and it assures me it will be picking it all up again. but it is getting the message out there, enough is enough. let's get more on our top story this morning significant job cuts at airbus, including 1,700 here in the uk. nina is at one of their factories in north wales for us. nina, this is another big blow for the aviation industry, isn't it? and everyone who works there will be really worried, as well. good morning. and the surrounding area, that's right. you go on the airbus website and they talk about the proud history of aerospace at this site in brighton. today is one of the darkest days in that history —— broughton. 1700 jobs will go at this site and the site in bristol, and thatis site and the site in bristol, and that is on top ofjob losses already announced that british airways, virgin atlantic, easyjet, ryanair, among others. in total there has

been a prediction that around 124,000 jobs will go across aerospace and aeronautics —— british airways. that is including jobs in the industry as well as in the supply chain. they are comparing it to the cold crisis of the early 19805. to the cold crisis of the early 1980s. unless there is government intervention. but what would that look like? the question for peter hughes from the unite union. good morning to you. a local lad, grew up two miles from here. give us a context of how big are below this is for the area, the place this has in the local community. this is massive, ever since the steelworks had a massive reduction in the 19805, everyone came here for a job for life. everyone who didn't want to do their a—level5 go on to further education came here because they always thought there was going to bea they always thought there was going to be a long—term future. they always thought there was going to be a long-term future. so you are asking the government, pleading with them to intervene specifically for them to intervene specifically for the aviation industry. what would that look like? that would look like what the french and german governments have already said they are going to do. ultimately we know

there was going to be a bounce back, and ultimately make sure that they inve 5t and ultimately make sure that they invest in aviation. ultimately it ha5 invest in aviation. ultimately it has got to come back. these are high skilled, high paid jobs. has got to come back. these are high skilled, high paidjobs. we need has got to come back. these are high skilled, high paid jobs. we need the wings of the future built in the uk or airbus might make the decision not to have a future production here. easyjet say they will stall the building of aeroplanes because we are not flying. there just isn't the work. there isn't the work now, but we already know people will fly. greenerengines coming but we already know people will fly. greener engines coming into play, airbus make the most green engines and wings in europe, ultimately that will transfer and people and airlines will invest in that, looking to save money themselves. there is a future here, but we have to make sure that we get over the hump and there is still a long—term future for people working here. and finally, peter, you will enter talks this week with airbus. are you can bring that number down from 1700? we

are always optimistic, but not going to accept any compulsory redundancies here. airbus have said they hope all redundancies will be volu nta ry they hope all redundancies will be voluntary and there won't be any compulsory, but they haven't ruled out. the government have already invested $25 —— £25 billion in the furlough scan, but —— furlough scheme. there are calls for a ban on disposable barbeques in parts of the uk after they were linked to a number of serious fires in the last couple of years. shops in the new forest have been asked not to sell them, whilst some politicians in the north—west of england want legislation to ban barbeques on open moorland. adam mcclean reports. the changes to the landscape in this

pa rt the changes to the landscape in this part of lancashire began with a single flame, as a disposable barbecue was lit. an entire hillside was left charred. people in my opinion don't quite grasp the risk involved, and certainly not the consequences, of using a disposable barbecue. so if the ground was covered in shredded paper and wood shavings, people would definitely think twice about lighting and naked flame. but the grass, certainly when we had the fire here, and the ground was as dry as shredded paper.m we had the fire here, and the ground was as dry as shredded paper. it is estimated that more than 1 million disposable barbecues are sold in the uk every year. the convenience of cooking on open fires in dangerous areas is causing destruction across the country. when you light a disposable barbecue in the first instance, you are using a naked flame. quite often you get flaming and then you will get sparks. all you need is one of those spikes to get away, set fire to the grass near the barbecue, and with a breeze like we have today, which we had during

the height of the incident we had here, they can cover large areas, cause massive damage, very, very quickly. fire here in darwin more grew so large that these fabrics had to be put into stop it spreading any further —— darwin moor. what began as someone's disposable barbecue ended with the blaze that covered four square kilometres. a petition to stop the sale of disposable barbecues now has more than 35,000 signatures. —— darwin moor. the area's mp wants them banned here. we must taking naked flames onto our moors. if we don't stop the use of disposable barbecues and other naked fla mes disposable barbecues and other naked flames like chinese lanterns, we are going to lose this fantastic habitat behind me, and unfortunately, before too long, somebody is going to lose their life as well. it is believed that this fire which started on the balcony of an apartment in south

london was caused by a single use barbecue last month. they also caused a large wildfire in dorset five weeks ago. we had very strong eyewitness suggestions as to where the fire started from, and in the area where we believe the fire started from, we found 11 discarded single—use disposable barbecues. they should use them sensibly and they should use them in a responsible way. we do believe that there are occasions when you should be prohibited from specific sites, and this should include forestry and heathland where the risk is high. somebody has clearly lit a bonfire here, it is within one metre or so of our beautiful pine trees. they are, as you can see, dry as tender and they take light very easily. it doesn't take much for flames to shoot up towards the canopies. we have our red squirrels here. this is important habitat. the reason wildfires have wiped out populations of ground nesting squirrels on the moors, with these rare squirrels at risk. almost every month we have had

colleagues in the fire service coming to identifiers, coastal areas, moorland areas. since the easing of lockdown, it has become a really frequent occurrence. we're not sure why, but we're very concerned about it. much of the land affected by these wildfires will never fully recover. the grass on darwin moor is already growing back, but once burned, the heather and wildlife that call it home are gone for good. quite a bit to think about, this morning, isn't there? let's find out what is happening with the weather. carol is with us this morning. good morning. good morning. a bit of everything, actually, dan. for many of us today it will be cloudy. some sunny spells here and there, particularly for central and southern england, down to is the south—eastern northern scotland. some of these showers are going to be heavy and thundering through the day. now, we have seen quite a lot of showers as we go through the

course of the night in the early morning. and this is what we have right now. so we have got a week where the front which is sinking southwards across scotland, getting some showers also into northern ireland in northern england through the day, and another one which will also really jazz the day, and another one which will also reallyjazz up the showers across southern parts of england and wales. early morning rain from kent clearing, a lot of cloud left in its wake. some sunny skies developing, and in the sunshine, as temperatures rise, we will see further potent showers develop. so for northern scotland, cool for you, with this northerly flow. there will be some sunshine, and then we ran into all these showers across southern and central scotland, northern ireland and northern england. they are not as likely to be thundery as those as we come further south. in the south, if you are in the sunshine and out of the showers, it will feel quite pleasant. we're looking at temperatures up to about 21 degrees. but we do have gusty winds across the english channel today if you are heading down towards the coast. through the evening and overnight, we will still have all those showers. if anything they're going to merge and give some persistent

spells of rain. on either side there will be some clear spells, some cloud cover as well, and generally speaking the further south you travel, the milder it will become. but cool across the far north of scotla nd but cool across the far north of scotland in that northerly breeze. so then tomorrow morning we start off with all these showers still merging together to give the odd heavier burst before they pull away into the north sea. and then, like today, there will be some dry weather around, some sunny skies, some areas of cloud, but as temperatures rise we will start to see showers sparked off, especially in some central and eastern parts of england. if you managed to dodge one, we are looking at a high of 22. whereas in aberdeen 13, belfast, 16. for friday, a new area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic, and that is going to bring in thicker cloud, some heavy rain and some gusty winds. as the weather fronts associated with this move from the west towards the east. ahead of it, also, there will be some showers. the driest conditions

are likely to be in the south—eastern. for the longest period of time. you won't see the rain until later on in the day. temperatures by then 12 in the north to 21 as we push towards the south. the headlines are coming up. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: thousands more jobs are to go in the aviation industry. plane—maker airbus is the latest to lay off workers. life in lockdown — shops in leicester close their doors as schools prepare to send pupils home. doctors aren't getting information on quickly enough to deal with local outbreaks of coronavirus. get ready for a new way to travel. e—scooters could be coming to a road near you soon, but not everyone's happy. chasing down the top four — manchester united stroll past brighton and into what could be a champions league place.

good morning. it's wednesday 1st of july. our top story: the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, airbus, has announced plans to cut 15,000 jobs including 1,700 in the uk. the aerospace giant said it doesn't expect air traffic to return to pre—pandemic levels until 2023, calling the current situation the "gravest crisis" the aviation industry has ever faced. andy moore reports. it's a global aerospace giant manufacturing a fleet of aircraft, but airbus is being hit by coronavirus like every part of the aviation sector. thousands ofjobs will be lost at plants across europe. in the uk, its expected about 1,700 jobs will go in broughton in flintshire and filton in bristol. that represents around 15% of the british workforce. in a video press release, the airbus chief executive warned the path to recovery would be slow and agile.

—— and fragile. we need to act now by adapting our workforce to reflect the new situation in the international aircraft sector and protect the longer term future of the company. jobs in the aviation sector are highly paid and highly skilled. it's estimated two or three jobs will be lost in supply chain for every singlejob that goes at airbus. we've been working very hard with airbus and many other companies in the aerospace sector to try and avoid this happening but unfortunately, because of indecision by government to intervene, it's resulted in today's announcement. the government says it will do its best to minimise the impact. we accept that we cannot save every job, even though 9 million people have been furloughed through a scheme which is cost £20 million and counting. everyone realises you can't count on that forever, but we can't save everyjob. and there is even more grim news

in the aviation sector from the airline easyjet. they warned they may have to close basis at stansted, southend and newcastle airports. the union unite says at least 1300 people could lose theirjobs. andy moore, bbc news. let's talk to our political reporter, nick eardley. good morning, nick. bad news on the aviation industry but also on the high street, t.m. lewin but also on the high street, t.m.lewin is but also on the high street, t.m. lewin is closing but also on the high street, t.m.lewin is closing all its stores, it gives you a sense of the impact the pandemic will have in the future. it does and it's one of the biggest questions the government is facing, what you do to halt unemployment soaring over the next few weeks and months as the furlough scheme comes to an end. there are some in westminster, the labour party, but are worried that in sectors like aviation where things are nowhere near getting back to normal, as

sooner you end the support for people kept in theirjobs by the state over the last few weeks, as soon as that support ends, a lot will be laid off and you will end up with a huge spike in unemployment. we heard from the prime minister yesterday his grand vision for getting the economy back on its feet over the next few months, a lot of that focused on infrastructure and building but there's the immediate question a lot of people at westminster are asking — what do you do to halt in the short—term unemployment going up? labour worrying it could eventually end up at the same levels as in the 19805 if we don't take the right moves very if we don't take the right moves very soon. there's growing pressure on the government to provide local councils with data as quickly as possible to help them deal with spikes in coronavirus cases in their areas. pressure is mounting on the government to provide local

councils with data as quickly as possible to help them deal with spikes in coronavirus cases in their areas. some directors of public health say they are not getting detailed and up—to—date information about local outbreaks. the issue has taken on an added urgency after leicester had to be geeta pendse is there for us this morning. geeta, what's the mood in the city? there were two feelings, one of frustration and one of understanding in the city yesterday, how has that changed in the last 24 hours or so? it has shifted in the sense there's more of an acceptance as to what's happening here. there was a lot of confusion yesterday, especially around people figuring out whether they were in or out of the restricted area because it's not just the city centre, it also affects some suburbs outside of leicester. also the mayor of leicester. also the mayor of leicester criticised the government for not releasing data sooner to the local authority which, as you mentioned, is something echoed by the british medical association today. today in leicester, non—essential shops are closed.

children will be gearing up for the last day of school, as most schools will be closing tomorrow for the majority of children which, from what i've gathered with parents, there's the sense of understanding but also disappointment, and all eyes will be on the fourth ofjuly this saturday to see if the easing of restrictions elsewhere might tempt people to go outside of the restriction zone. there are high hopes that won't happen. thank you very much that update. —— thank you very much that update. us democratic presidential candidate joe biden has condemned donald trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis. mr biden says that the sacrifices people have made shouldn't be wasted by a president who ignores the science. america's top expert on infectious diseases, dr anthony fauci, says he would not be surprised if new virus cases

there reach 100,000 per day. a nation on edge again. the coronavirus outbreak is worse than ever. the southern and western states florida, texas and california account for about half of all new cases. some hospitals are running out of intensive—care beds and experts are warning of a looming catastrophe if the outbreak isn't brought under control. testifying to a senate committee on the effort to reopen schools and businesses, us government's leading expert on the virus, dr anthony faucl expert on the virus, dr anthony fauci, said he feared the situation could get a lot worse. we are now having 40,000 plus new cases a day. i would not be surprised if we went up i would not be surprised if we went up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. stepping up his campaignfor turn around. stepping up his campaign for the presidency, joe biden has launched a blistering attack on president trump's handling of the pandemic. the promises and predictions and wishful thinking pulled out of thin air are not only doing the country no good, they're making them lose more faith in their

government. america knows this crisis isn't behind us, even if you don't. without responding directly to the former vice president, mr trump once again blamed china. with no end in sight to the covid crisis and a holiday weekend approaching, the worst affected states are now renewing some lockdown measures. in texas, the closure of bars has provoked a backlash from some but weary acceptance from others. it's obviously spreading in bars, so if we've got to shut it down for the better of the community, that's what we've got to do. right now we are the first guys to get shut down, the last to open and they're not hearing us and if we've got to scream as loud as can be, we wa nt got to scream as loud as can be, we want to be heard. in california, the beaches have been shut down again and people urged to stay at home. there will be little to celebrate this independence day. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. a new treatment for cystic fibrosis,

described as "truly life changing", is being made available for nhs patients in england. experts say nine out of ten people with the life—limiting condition, which causes breathing and digestion problems, will benefit from the three—drug combination. the nhs in scotland, wales and northern ireland could also follow suit. there'll be more flights in and out of the uk from today, as the travel industry begins its recovery from the pandemic in earnest. at sometime this week, we'll also find out which countries will allow british travellers to enter without having to quarantine. more than 1,000 flights per day are being operated by rya nair from today. we can speak now to its chief executive, michael o'leary. good morning to you. have you gone early on this? i don't think so, we've been planning for this for eight or nine weeks. customers will be voting shortly and we plan to operate 960 flights roughly today in

total and we will carry about 70% of load, people are travelling and families are anxious to get away on holiday and there's lots of families being reunited as a result of the restart of rya nair flights being reunited as a result of the restart of ryanair flights today. we don't know which countries will have these air bridges, are you sure they will all be able to get back without quarantining? across the eu, air bridges... the air bridges the uk is talking about is nonsense, the idea you would be ok in spain and not portugal but people can travel openly across that border is a nonsense. yesterday 14 air bridges we re nonsense. yesterday 14 air bridges were announced to countries with lower covi d were announced to countries with lower covid rates than the eu has. there are sense some restrictions, the greeks and the polls are blocking flights in from the uk because of covid until the 14th of july but we're reasonably confident there be widespread free movement of

people within the eu, including the uk, from the first or second week of july. i think you said it was 70% capacity you would be running at. say again? the flights are about three quarters full today, 980 flights, about three quarters full. for people watching, will they be sitting next to someone not from their own family? yes, most likely, but you will be wearing facemasks, you will be sitting on seats and touching aircraft that have been deep clean and disinfected overnight and as the who and the european center for disease has confirmed, you will be travelling in perfect safety. they won't be one metre apart? you can't do that on a plane, ona train apart? you can't do that on a plane, on a train or at an airport, it is a nonsense idea. how can you guarantee their safety? it is guaranteed and overseen by the wac and the european

center for disease control —— who. not only are passengers wearing facemasks but the crew is, it eliminates the risk of the spread of covid—19 by upwards of 90%. eliminates the risk of the spread of covid-19 by upwards of 90%. can i also ask about the wider industry, we have seenjob also ask about the wider industry, we have seen job losses at airbus and there are job losses at easyjet. how would you describe how bad it is? i think the airline industry across europe is going through the worst downturn it has ever faced. to put this in context, we all remember the terrorist attacks in new york on 9/11, planes were ground within four days and they recovered as an industry within a year or two. planes have been grounded for four months this year and it's the worst downturn ever. it is vital we get people moving in july downturn ever. it is vital we get people moving injuly and august and get the tourism industry in britain welcoming europeans, there are

hundreds of... it is vital to get the uk hotels, restaurants and tourism sectors up and running in july and august. how long do you think the industry is going to suffer from what's happened? think the industry is going to suffer from what's happened ?m think the industry is going to suffer from what's happened? it is going to sufferfor a number of yea rs, going to sufferfor a number of years, and none of us know the future, it depends on whether there isa future, it depends on whether there is a second wave of covid. there is likely to be spikes in certain locations like leicester this week. this is something i think we'll be dealing with for a year or two but i think people's behaviour will return to some sort of normality. hopefully when schools return to school —— schools return in september and kids go back to school. are job losses going to happen at ryanair? we have announced 3500 but we have extensive communication with our cabin crew and people and we are asking for pay

cuts instead of job and people and we are asking for pay cuts instead ofjob losses, so if we can negotiate pay cuts with our people, we are looking from 20% from the best paid captains, 5% from the lowest pa id the best paid captains, 5% from the lowest paid flight attendants, and we think if we can negotiate by agreement we can avoid most if not alljob losses. agreement we can avoid most if not all job losses. are you taking a pay cut? yes, a 5096 all job losses. are you taking a pay cut? yes, a 50% pay all job losses. are you taking a pay cut? yes, a 5096 pay cut until at least march next year. every time you come on this programme you will know people want to know what's going on with ryanair, so many concerned about refunds, when are they getting their money back? we are making great progress, we have had a full refund team working since the first ofjune and this week we have announced we have back paid all of the march and most of the april cash refund requests, we are moving onto the may cash requests but we have a problem with lots of passengers making bookings through third—party travel agents and we don't have their correct e—mail or credit card details and we

are trying to get those passengers to co nta ct are trying to get those passengers to contact us. we are about 60% of the way through the backlog and we expect to have cleared most of that by the end ofjuly. michael o'leary, thank you for your time on brea kfast. eurotunnel also reopens its terminals from today. let's speak to john keefe from eurotunnel. hejoins us from calais. good morning, john. good to speak to you this morning. hopefully you could hear what michael o'leary was saying there. he was talking about the fact that they cannot make social distancing work on a plane or ona train. social distancing work on a plane or on a train. so give us an idea of what people can expect if they are using eurotunnel. look, the social distancing is already built—in. they will be travelling on their own cars, they will be with the household that they have come on the trip with, and they will have contact with other customers. so the home to holiday without coming into contact with other people is entirely possible. you load your car, put the luggage in the boot, put your household in the seats,

drive down the motorway, drive onto our shuttles. there is no contact necessary through the terminal, drive off the other side. so in that sense, you don't need to do anymore. have you actually made any changes, john? not to the journey itself, but we are making changes to the experience on the terminal. as we are opening up, we are making that as contactless are opening up, we are making that as co nta ctless as are opening up, we are making that as contactless as possible, so rather than having to go into the shops and buy things, picking things up, we have actually got a preorder service so you can use an app on your phone, preorder whatever it is your phone, preorder whatever it is you want, whether it is coffee or your last—minute groceries, and you can have them delivered to your car as you are going through. so you don't have to step down, you don't have to shake hands or stand in a queue with anybody. you are com pletely queue with anybody. you are completely protected in your own bubble. and we were asking michael o'leary the same question, the sort of decision to reopen now when the government hasn't announced which countries are exempt from quarantine. are you jumping the gun

slightly? not at all. we have been open all the way through, so we have been running services backwards and forwards all the way through from the uk to france through the crisis. we have been carrying goods on the freight side, the ppe, the medical supplies, food and internet retail people are doing. also carrying key cross border workers, staff going backwards and forwards to the eu, diplomats and so forth. so we have been open all the time. what we're doing now as we are stepping services back as we see that people are more and more keen to travel. so we are going back up to two departures a day and then we're going back to full services from the beginning of next week. and what sort of interest have you had from people? you say there is that desire to travel, every time we do a travel story on this programme we do get so much interest from viewers. have you seen that reflected in the number of enquiries and bookings? absolutely, we had our busiest weekend everfor

booking enquiries and for bookings. from the moment the government made the announcement on friday night, things really did explode. we have been working to a growing base of bookings since probably five or six weeks ago, so there was a gradual increase. but when that announcement came out you could see the pent—up frustration. people were on the phones, they were on the internet straightaway, making bookings not just for the sixth, but right the way through the summer. and when people are making those bookings, are they sort of assuming that things are safe, or people are desperate to travel, are they asking questions about what you have put in place to make sure that things are safe ? place to make sure that things are safe? a lot of people are coming to the website and enquiring about safe ways to travel, safe places to visit. so we are giving them all the information that we can upfront. obviously we are following all of the public health england and the french public health advice on hygiene, on terminals. ourstaff

have been practising that all the way through. and of course, the french are several weeks ahead in terms of the curve on this, so a lot of the practices that we are just starting to hear about in the uk have already been in place and are now part of everyday life in france. so we are able to give people a great deal of assurance about the safety of the travel mode, and then guide them towards safe destinations, as well. thank you for that, good to talk to you on the programme. busiest few days ever, they say, and people interested in making bookings for eurotunnel. as the rest of england prepares to enjoy a further easing of lockdown measures this weekend, people living in leicester are facing two more weeks of tighter restrictions after a spike in coronavirus cases. so why does it have three times the number of infections than the next highest city? let's speak to dr manish pareek, professor of infectious diseases at the university of leicester. thanks so much forjoining us. just looking at why this might happen, what are your thoughts? good

morning. i think we are seeing a spike in activity in certain parts of inner—city leicester, and those areas are predominantly quite crowded in terms of housing, multigenerational housing, as well as multi— occupancy housing. pockets of deprivation, and quite a lot of ethnic diversity. so a number of factors which come together to increase the risk of virus transmission. and also, it does seem extraordinary, doesn't it? three times the nearest west city. are you surprised by that? i think what we... those of us who work in the health system always expected that they would be, even after this first wave, that there would be ongoing spikes in activity. the virus hasn't changed. it remains with us, as we know. and as people start to move and mix, what the virus will do is transmit. so in those areas in the city in leicester at the moment, which are inner—city and have lots

of dense housing, there is likely to be transmission, but i think it is unlikely to be... looking forward, there are likely to be spikes in activity in other inner—city areas over the coming months. many of the new cases in leicester as far as i understand have been in younger, working age people, which is quite unusual, isn't it? it is unusual, but what we have learned in the last few months is that the virus generally causes a milder infection in younger people, and causes more severe disease in a small proportion of more elderly adults. what we don't know yet is why these younger individuals have been infected and also how much they are contributing to the onward transmission in that community. if they are relatively well and still moving around with relatively mild symptoms, transmission is much more likely because they are not going to present for testing and/or healthcare. given what you have said, how important do you think keeping leicester in lockdown,

unlike other parts of england, will be? that's an interesting question. my be? that's an interesting question. my personal observation is that the first wave that we had, we have seen perhaps people moving, staying indoors, there is some reduction in numbers nationally. what we are seeing, however, is that as lockdown stars to increase, we will see those increasing. in leicester, the question remains, in those individual areas, many individuals work in the health and social care setting, in the transport sector, and they are likely to be still going up for work, for example. and therefore lockdown has to be supplemented by active case finding, contact tracing, but also very importantly, very clear public—health messaging in those areas. is that happening, that active finding of people and following up of people? so i am not directly involved in the public health response, but my understanding is that there will be quite an active response in terms of case finding in those areas, contact tracing through track and trace, but

i think that all has to be very much complemented by clear messaging in those areas. what we're seeing so far is that whatever has happened in the wave perhaps hasn't been as effective in those certain areas of leicester. so how does that change, do you think? well, i think what we are seeing is that if you go back to lockdown, you will reduce people mixing, for example, conduct will be less and therefore transmission will start to fall, but it can't be on its own —— contact will be less. it has to be supplemented by going into the streets, into those workplaces, and actually finding people who are presymptomatic, so they haven't got many symptoms, and actually actively looking for the virus and actively finding their contacts and the co nta cts' finding their contacts and the contacts' contacts, to break that route of transmission. without that, the virus will continue to spread slowly through that area, but also potentially into other parts. and

there has been some concern from the mayor at least about the release of data and not getting it early enough. what would you say about that? i am not party to the data, of course, but i think as a general observation, when you are responding to an epidemic or a pandemic or an infectious disease problem, data is key, because we need to know who is infected, where they have been infected, where they have been infected and how they have been infected. because without that information you can't really implement a public health response. it is really interesting talking to you, and thank you very much indeed. i appreciate you couldn't necessarily ask all of the questions i asked, but thank you. schools in leicester have onlyjust reopened for children in reception, year1 and year 6, but tomorrow they will close again for most pupils. so how are children there coping? let's speak to kerry hill, who is a head teacher at eyres monsell primary school in leicester. good morning, kerry. give us an idea, i imagine you have had to

contact idea, i imagine you have had to co nta ct a ll idea, i imagine you have had to contact all parents individually. how have they sort of accepted this news of the extension to lockdown in leicester? i have to say, from our perspective, we contacted yesterday all of our parents who have children in. as you say, we had opened our reception, our year 1, and this week we are also opening our year 6. i have to say our parents have been great, and they have been really understanding, really supportive of the situation, and actuallyjust understanding that we want to keep them and their children safe and protect the school and our community that we serve, as much as possible. and what about the children? how have they responded to this news? how did you tell them? what about those who are in the school already? so we have done a mix. so we have had parental contact, so as i say, all of the parents who have had children in school with us. we actually contact them individually by telephone so we could have that contact with them and explain what was happening or what needed to

happen as of thursday. the children who were in school, in bubbles, obviously their teachers spoke to them to try to help them understand them to try to help them understand the situation. because it is difficult when they have been back in school for two or three weeks, and we are going i am really sorry, but you can't come in again from thursday. but we have really good measures that we have put in place throughout the lockdown period so the children will still be getting weekly phone calls from their teachers, online learning activities. so we're still trying to maintain those relationships as well as we can, even though we have now got to go into this, in effect, lockdown. yes, so what you have had in placejust lockdown. yes, so what you have had in place just essentially has to extend. and what about your teaching staff, as well? what about those who are unable to come because they are outside of the sort of bubble, if you like? yes, so although essential travel is allowed, obviously the

guidance is wherever possible to try to avoid it. so we have obviously looked at where our staff lived and where we can use staff that are local to the school, and we have made every effort to try and do that. all of my staff, whether they are working on site or at home, again have an incredibly supportive, incredibly understanding, and we are a resilient staff and a resilient profession. so wejust a resilient staff and a resilient profession. so we just want to get it right, and again, we will keep making the changes we need to to protect everybody within our school. but we do now have staff, as you say, who are coming in from different counties or outside of that zone. just so we are having that zone. just so we are having that limited contact with our local neighbours as much as possible.” know your school breaks up a little earlier than some, so next friday is the start of your summer holiday. your year 6 students won't be back until the start of the next school year. it seems like you have a lot of measures in place, but are you concerned about them and the other

measures in the school, eventually when we do return, trying to catch up when we do return, trying to catch up with all that schooling they have missed, that interaction with teachers? i think as a profession we are very aware teachers? i think as a profession we are very aware that mentally, emotionally and socially, our schools are going to need to act and be proactive to address the learning gaps that might have happened, the gaps that might have happened, the gaps that might have happened, the gaps that will have come in socialisation, how children's mental health may have been affected by this. so for us in the school, we are already being proactive, and we have been proactive through the whole lockdown, to ensure that staff have had extra cpd so they can support children with bereavement or trauma, but also extra cpd so we know we're going to be to provide as high quality of education as we can those children come back, and looking at ways that we can give those children extra opportunities, particularly with that academic learning that they will have missed out on five months of by the time we

get back. thank you very much, kerry hill, a head teacher at a primary school in leicester. and carol has a view of a beach we would all like to see. good morning, everyone. you can see. good morning, everyone. you can see a see. good morning, everyone. you can seeafair see. good morning, everyone. you can see a fair bit of cloud around, that tells the story for today. there is a lot of cloud around. some of us will see some sunshine, but there are also going to be some heavy showers. already some of us have got those as well. so low pressure still driving our weather. we have a couple of weather fronts moving across this area of low pressure. they are fairly weak affairs, but they are producing some showery outbreaks of rain, and that rain is across scotland, northern ireland, getting into northern england. as we go through the day, it will turn more showery. it is unlikely to be thundery, whereas come south for the rest of england and also parts of wales, we will see some sunny intervals develop, and as temperatures rise, that will spark off some sharp showers. there could be thundery. northern scotland will see some sunshine today but feeling cooler, because we have a northerly

component to the wind. now, as we move through this evening and overnight, the showers tend to emerge across some central parts of england, and at times they will be persistent, and they will also be quite heavy. one or two isolated showers, cooler in the north, seven to about eight degrees in northern scotland, but for much of the rest of the uk, we are looking at staying in double figures. then tomorrow, well, we do still have low pressure in charge of the weather, but there is this little knows of high pressure coming in, and we still have our weather fronts to get rid of. so first thing in the morning, we will have all this rain which will gradually push off into the north sea, leaving behind it quite a dry day for many, with some sunny skies. yes, there will still be some areas of cloud around, and rather like today's temperature rises, that will spark off some sharp showers especially for central and eastern parts of england. temperature is 11 on the north to 23 in the south. to the afternoon we will see a new weather front arrive across

shetland, introducing some heavy rain and some gusty winds. now, as we move from thursday into friday, there is a bit of a change in the forecast, because another area of low pressure, are more important one, comes in from the atlantic with its attendant fronts. that is going to introduce cloud, some heavy rain, and also some gusty winds. it comes in from the west and it drifts over towards the east. the heaviest rain will be in the west highlands, and ahead of it all the time, the cloud will build and we will see one or two showers. but it should stay largely dry into the south—east, and here we will have highs of 21, but feeling cooler. in the rain and gusty winds in glasgow, we're looking at about 15. the forecast for the weekend remains unsettled. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. in the last few minutes, the company that owns upper crust sandwich shops says up to 5,000 jobs are under threat. ssp group, which also owns caffe ritazza. it says it needs to make changes because of the huge fall in the number of passengers

at railway stations and airports due to the coronavirus pandemic. that happened in the last 20 minutes or so. the boss of ryanair, michael o'leary, has told breakfast that the airline industry and tourism is facing it's bigest crisis. it comes as the world's largest manufacturer of aeroplanes, airbus, announces its cutting thousands of jobs. 1,700 staff in the uk will be affected in bristol and north wales, while 15,000 jobs will be lost globally. easyjet has also announced plans to close three of its uk bases. we'rejoined now the business secretary, alok sharma. good morning, thank you very much for watching us. there we have news from airbus —1700 for watching us. there we have news from airbus — 1700 jobs going — also jobs under threat from upper crust, what are you going to do to protect some of these kinds ofjobs? what are you going to do to protect some of these kinds of jobs? first of all, i'm sorry to hear about the

job losses and anyone facing a job loss will be incredibly worried and we'll make sure we provide support for people through the rapid response service we have at the department of work and pensions and we'll make sure of course we work with employers and unions over the coming weeks. we have provided a lot of support forjobs over the we have provided a lot of support for jobs over the past we have provided a lot of support forjobs over the past few months. you will know 9.3 million jobs have been protected through the job retention scheme of these are jobs up retention scheme of these are jobs up and down the country and protecting people's livelihoods and we're continuing to do that, but, of course, as you just in your introduction, there are unfortunate impacts of the pandemic. one of thoseis impacts of the pandemic. one of those is obviously on the travel sector, on airlines, and, we will continue to provide support across the economy to make sure people are supported in theirjobs where they u nfortu nately face supported in theirjobs where they unfortunately face losing their jobs, we will provide support in finding a newjob. cani

finding a newjob. can i ask about the airline sector, because we've heard from michael o'leary this morning, from ryanair, who said this will continue for yea rs. who said this will continue for years. unite, the union, says the government isn't doing enough and for example in france, they are investing 15 billion euros in the airline industry, germany, 9 billion euros, what is the government going to do? we have supported this mrs across the economy with 124 million —— businesses. the furlough scheme, tax referrals, the loans where the government backs them, that is a percentage of the amount lent. all of that is available across the economy but the key issue for the airline sector is travel is down significantly. you talked about airbus, where people are travelling less, there is less need for engines to be refurbished, to be serviced, there's less need for new aircraft and that something unfortunately we

are going to have to live with and adjust to, but we want to make sure we're providing that support across the economy and that's what we've been doing. use they live with and adjust to, grant shapps says they can't save every job, adjust to, grant shapps says they can't save everyjob, can you not save a sector like the airline industry? —— you say. save a sector like the airline industry? -- you say. we will do everything we can to ensure we have businesses operating by opening them up. we have taken a phased and cautious approach to opening up the economy in the past few weeks, i think that's been right because we wa nt to think that's been right because we want to make sure we meet our five tests, the r rate stays below one, and people have shown immense commonsense in adhering to the rules andi commonsense in adhering to the rules and i think that will continue.” wa nt to and i think that will continue.” want to focus on the airline sector because it's a specific sector, it's likely to be long—term, these are skilled workers. we know the furlough scheme is due to be phased out by october. the furlough scheme would have been in place for a total

of eight months, and i think by any international standard, it has been groundbreaking. you talked about the airline sector specifically, of course, you know, work is ongoing in terms of air bridges and i hope later this week we can set out some of those lower risk countries so when people return from these low risk countries, they will not be faced with quarantine. work is ongoing and you mentioned the transport secretary, he is working incredibly hard with the airline sector to see what support can be provided but the key thing to getting businesses up and running is to open up the economy, and that's what we're doing. are you rolling out thejob what we're doing. are you rolling out the job retention scheme being extended? these are matters ultimately for the chancellor and the treasurer del macro minister, the treasurer del macro minister, the chancellor will make a statement on the economy next week in the house of commons —— and the prime minister. we have extended the furlough scheme until october, it

has been generous and well received, and we have protected 9.3 million jobs so far. let's talk about leicester, because yesterday we spoke to businesses preparing to open up on saturday, now they can't, but we don't know but there may be the need for further lockdowns in different cities, will you provide specific support for where that happens? anyone in leicester will be incredibly disappointed and worried by having to go back into lockdown, andi by having to go back into lockdown, and i know businesses will be incredibly concerned as well. in terms of support for businesses in leicester, we have provided over 5900 small businesses with grants to the value of £68 million. we've also ensured over 40,000 people are protected, jobs are protected through thejob protected, jobs are protected through the job retention scheme and that's going to continue. i think the key thing for us is to make sure this lockdown is adhered to and it will be reviewed again two weeks from now, and i hope we will be able to reopen businesses and that's the

best way to get the economy going. cani best way to get the economy going. can i ask about something you said last week on this programme — 240,000 people had been tested for covid—19 on monday the 22nd ofjune. in fact it was the number of tests, not the number of people tested. would you like to agree you were wrong on that? yes, i was wrong and i apologise for that, it was an inadvertent mistake, if i can put it like that. i think the reason the numbers of people has not come forward is there is a small percentage of cases where people have been included more than once in the figures, and we're working with the figures, and we're working with the uk statistics authority looking at that, but the key issue for many people is — can i go and a test? we've managed to ramp up testing capacity from 2000 a day in march 2/200 80,000 a day now, so anyone who faces symptoms should absolutely go and get tested, the capacity is there and available —— in march to

there and available —— in march to the 280,000. when will you release the 280,000. when will you release the data about the number of people, you talk about a small percentage, but we want to know the number of people tested. i understand that, and that is something we are working on with the uk statistics authority. i can't give you any more information on that, that is ongoing work, but the key thing for many your viewers will be — am i able to get a test if i need one? and the a nswer to get a test if i need one? and the answer to that is absolutely, yes, capacity has been ramped up and in fa ct capacity has been ramped up and in fact our rate of testing is one of the highest in the world and we have got 280,000 capacity a day in terms of people being able to go out and get a test. you're talking about tests there but in regards to the data, we have spoken to various people on the programme this morning including doctor rosemary leonard, saying people need data to be able to hold this disease from spreading. let's hear from her. there seems to

bea let's hear from her. there seems to be a problem getting very detailed information out, and it hasn't been explained why, we do need that information if these local outbreaks are to be contained. i think what we really need to know is really detailed information — where are people actually testing positive? is it coz there's been screening done ina care it coz there's been screening done in a care home, for instance, and there are a lot of positive cases? really down to that much detail, where exactly are the outbreaks happening and in what age groups? so, when will we get that level of detail? well, data is obviously being monitored constantly by the joint biosecurity centre, together with public health england and the test and trace system and information is being made available to local authorities, there is a dashboard and information on test and trace is made available to local authorities right now. you mentioned leicester

earlier, and over the past two weeks we have been sharing that data with the local health authorities and we are working very closely with them andi are working very closely with them and i want to thank them for the work they're doing supporting the people of leicester, so the information is being shared. of course, where able to improve, we will do that. they disagree, they say the information came to late in leicester. all i can tell you is my understanding is, and you will appreciate are not part of public health england, my understanding is data was shared and has been shared over the past two weeks. one last question on that, going back to what we've heard on this programme and what other people are reflecting — data being knowledge — the day, professor we spoke to wants to know who is being effected and how they are infected and without that you can't do it. asi that you can't do it. as i said, information is being made available on a digital dashboard to local authorities. the other aspect is the test and trace system, and

that's been up and running since the 17th of june that's been up and running since the 17th ofjune — over 113,000 people have been contacted through that, those who have been in close contact with those testing positive, so the system is working. it is precisely because of this that we are able to do local lockdowns. do you accept it has been too slow? you can always improve on these things, and one of the things that we have managed to do is to make those improvements in terms of testing capacity going from 2000 a day in march to the 280,000 a day now, you have seen the speed in which the nightingale hospitals have been built and using the response we have had in terms of industry, together with government, working in terms of the ventilator challenge and you've seen the work we have donejointly with and you've seen the work we have done jointly with academia and the public sector, as well as the private sector, in terms of work on vaccines. there's a lot we have done over the past months which everyone

involved can be very proud of, but, of course, we need to continue to learn and improve — is no doubt about that. alloc sharma, secretary of state for business, thank you forjoining us on breakfast. kat has the sport today and a rather impressive performance from manchester united amongst others last night? it has been interesting to watch how teams have emerged from lockdown and it's hardly broken manchester united's stride, has it, those three months of. 15 games unbeaten now. —— those three months off. manchester united are up to fifth. 18—year—old mason greenwood was instrumental as they beat brighton 3—0 last night. he scored the first goal and set up another, helping move united up into what could be a champions league place. manager ole gunnar solskjaer says greenwood has emerged from lockdown a fitter, more exciting striker. we know he can score goals like this, but his general holder play, he's physical, he's getting stronger. i think the lockdown helped him. when you're a young kid and you work at the intensity he's been

doing, it's been taking a toll on his body but the lockdown gave him time to fill out, and i think you can see the benefit from it. leicester say they can safely play their remaining home matches at the kingpower stadium despite the tightened lockdown restrictions in the city. last night, racing went ahead in leicester, but not enough stall handlers agreed to work so horses were set off without them. several riders also withdrew from the meeting and one local trainer said he couldn't believe the meeting had gone ahead. england's cricketers will play their first competitive cricket, of sorts, today when they face each other in a bio—secure environment in southampton. the england players have been in quarantine there, and they'll be split into two sides for this practice match. it'll take place over three days with places at stake in the test side to face west indies at the same venue in a week's time. ben stokes will be captain for the first test, he'll take charge of one of the sides today, whilejos buttler leads the other.

so places at stake in that test side, and bragging rights, as well, in the dressing room, i should think. as we've been hearing this morning, the world's largest aeroplane manufacturer, airbus, has become the latest aviation giant to announce significantjob losses. 1,700 staff will be out of work in the uk, with 15,000 jobs going worldwide. easyjet has also outlined plans to close three uk bases, affecting around 2,000 jobs. so what does all of this mean for the future of the industry? we're joined now by aviation expert martin evans. we have just heard from the business secretary. martin, good morning. thanks for coming on the programme. can we start with airbus and your reaction to that particular news about thejob reaction to that particular news about the job losses both here in the uk and around the world? well, we are seeing the damage being inflicted by the pandemic. airlines buy aircraft and for the last three months they have been flying hardly any passengers. you can't run an airline without any revenue, and no

passengers, so they are having to co nse rve passengers, so they are having to conserve as much cash as they can. in normal times, it would be a good thing if they were buying new, more fuel—efficient aircraft, but at the moment they can't use those aircraft, and they certainly don't wa nt to aircraft, and they certainly don't want to pay for them, so they are putting off orders, they are cancelling orders, and even though it looks like airbus have got a huge order book, these aircraft, the airlines don't want them to be delivered at this moment. the government have just told us on this programme that their responses that the industry is going to have to live with it and adjust. is that how you see it? well, we don't know where the new normal is going to be. it is certainly going to be, in the short term, much lower demand than we have seen previously. today we're going to hear talk about opening up travel, but this isn't travel to everywhere. this is limited travel. there is still a large amount of the

pandemic out in the world, and many destinations that aren't available to airlines. so they are going to have to live with the new normal, and that is going to be a much lower demand, and consequently a much lower demand for aircraft in the short term. you talk about the new normal and not knowing exactly what that will be. there are lots of people who are now, as things are slightly beginning to open up, who are trying to find a destination, trying to find somewhere to go. what do you think we're going to have to get used to in the coming years and months ahead in terms of what we saw before and what industry will look like? so yes, we have seen that there are people who are dying to get away on holiday, perhaps quite a lot of us are dying to get away on holiday. but unfortunately, some people are going to be too concerned to travel. also, with business travel, some people have got used to making use of the facilities that we are using today, working on the internet. demand for travellers

going to be lower. if we are travelling, we're going to have to be used to airports where are more distanced, we don't get as close to people as we have done in the past. you can't avoid it on an aircraft, so you are going to have to wear a mask. it is going to have to be a very different experience to what we have had before. what about support for the industry? that's what lots of unions are talking about this morning. we are getting lots of comments about that. what sort of things could be done, i suppose, to pf°p up things could be done, i suppose, to prop up this industry at such a difficult time, not only for the aviation industry, but for so many businesses? the problem is that these are multinational industries. which country is the one that is actually going to provide the support for them, and what sort of support for them, and what sort of support is that going to be? what the aerospace industry needs is demand from airlines. those airlines are all over the world. they are regulated by literally hundreds of

governments. so there is going to have to be a global effort to get the air transport industry moving again, if we are going to see a return to the normal in the aerospace industry. martin, good to talk to you. thank you very much for that. that is a reflection from martin evans, an aviation experts, on—the—job losses at airbus, we have also spoken to a representative from easyj et. also spoken to a representative from easyjet. we will be talking about it through the rest of the programme as well. have you ever had a go on an e—scooter? es! no. -- yes! well, in an attempt ease pressure on public transport during the pandemic, it will be legal to rent one and ride it on roads across britain from this weekend. they'll be limited to 15.5mph, and they're banned on pavements. to ride one, you'll have to have a full or provisional car, motorcycle or moped licence. iam not i am not sure what the half is all

about. but privately owned e—scooters will remain illegal on roads, so it's only rental ones that can be used. the department for transport says they could be up and running in middlesbrough from early next week. these people in the town have been telling us what they think. the fact is, what would happen to them if they did go missing? would they be tracked, would they be traced? what happens if people just destroy them for the sake of it? you have got to think about that, because obviously you don't know if it is going to be the best time to start off with. i see bikes coming down here, wheelie—ing, knocking people over, frightening people, even scooters, jumping on the seats, doing stunts. you can imagine an electric bike doing stunts, you have the power, you can go faster. ijust can't see it. i used to ride a bike, soi can't see it. i used to ride a bike, so i would imagine that i would have a go. then again, the health and safety, if that was ok. obviously have to make sure everything is ok for them to use. because if adults

use them, it is setting a good example for the children, isn't it? well, you know, probably around the town, driving nice and easy, it should be quite all right for people. we're joined now by michael quintana from rideables.org, an organisation that promotes the safe use of e—scooters, and rachel white from sustrans, the uk walking and cycling charity. good morning to you. michael, to you, just explain why it is that... we have just lost him ? you, just explain why it is that... we havejust lost him? he has gone sideways. explain why it is that only rental scooters will be allowed to be used on public roads. es, so as far as the conversations we have had, rental is the easiest way to gather data, so a lot of this trial is about data gathering, seeing how people are using these devices, seeing what trips are being made, and the frequency of these things. so with a more centralised setup,

you have that more centralised setup with a ride scheme, and that is principally why. there are also some legal issues around fast tracking this that the government had to go through, and we are bound by, so by doing this through a rental scheme they were able to get this out as quickly as they have. and i am sure many of our viewers have questioned this morning, the reason why it is rental, is it because of the limits on the speed? if you have your own one, it can go a little bit faster and that speed limit is 15 mph. are there other reasons? so that is part of it, and we do agree, with the rental scheme you can get that. the other issue, as well, is that we just want to make sure that safety isa just want to make sure that safety is a primary focus. the private ownership is definitely going to be a key, you know, key factor to this puzzle and how we successfully get along in the future. but the rental scheme is kind of the first pair of

that. we are just watching because of people writing these scooters in traffic, and that is where they are going to have to be —— first tier. is it safe? it is inherently safe. there are always dangerous, similar to writing a pushbike or driving a car. a lot of people get worried about e—scooters, thinking they are going to go here, they are going to going to go here, they are going to go there. and yes, that is where enforcement will come in to place, keeping them off pavements, cycle lanes, basically anywhere a bike can go. but we also have to remember that a pedal bike or a pushbike can actually go faster. an average writer can actually go faster than a scooter rider. so they are not as fast, i think, scooter rider. so they are not as fast, ithink, as scooter rider. so they are not as fast, i think, as some people are concerned —— average rider. fast, i think, as some people are concerned -- average rider. michael, what about helmets? do you have to wear one? is it part of the scheme? how is that being factored in? so helmets currently are not mandatory. we are speaking and looking forward to having more conversations with

james patton at the dft on things having to do with safety, especially for the rental scheme, that is one of the benefits of the personal use scheme, is that people will hopefully have their own helmet with them because they will have their own device. but with this trial rollout, that is not currently mandatory although very recommended. and do these journeys mandatory although very recommended. and do thesejourneys replace walking, cycling, or is it being in a car, for example? they do, and you have to remember we are worried about safety and worried about how our scooters and bikes and things going to integrate with road traffic. but something that is fantastic to think about is, the more that people adopt electric scooters, micro— ability, the more thatis scooters, micro— ability, the more that is adopted, the less road traffic there will be. so currently, yes, you would want to blend in with road traffic, primarily use cycle lanes where they are available but basically don't do anything that a bike wouldn't be able to do.

michael, good to speak to you. thank you very much. do let us know what you very much. do let us know what you think about that. one thing you have been vocal about is the issue of lockdown letter, because bournemouth beach last week, we have been looking at beaches, looking at parks, lots of people going to them, i think it was 22 tons of litter collected from bournemouth beach in one day and there have been all sorts of issues, and lots of you got in touch with us over the last few days with your stories of not only what you have seen but also how you can deal with it. are used to pick up can deal with it. are used to pick up litter, other people's letter. do you still do it? well, no, because you still do it? well, no, because you don't want to pick up something if it has got coronavirus, as well. it has really been tough for people in parks, and that sort of thing. and yes, is it education, which of the punishment be? james says not sure if any of those should work, why not leave it there for the next few days, let the next people who arrive see the rubbish from the

previous day. maybe that will be a powerful reminder to take your letter home with you. talking to other ranges, we think most people simply don't care about the environment —— litter. barbecues, food, all piled up. it seems to be taken as a human right now to mess up taken as a human right now to mess upa park. taken as a human right now to mess up a park. one of my issues as well as people leave stuff everywhere, you are walking with your dog, and your dog can eat it, and it causes so many problems. alex says the same thing, morals and decency, respect for others and the environment. there are some decent people out there. we went to chatsworth house last week, had a bit of a dip in the river, a big bunch of lads having a bit offun, river, a big bunch of lads having a bit of fun, enjoying themselves, drinking, jumping in the river, and at the end they all spent a few minutes tidying up everything they had brought with them, what their own carry bags and took it all away. which is not that difficult. it is what you should do. christine says i live near hyde park, in cheshire. every day i pick up rubbish between my house and the park gates and

place it in the nearby in. this is idleness. what makes people think it is all right to leave rubbish on the pavement —— bin. is all right to leave rubbish on the pavement -- bin. i saw a sign in new zealand and it says why are you dumping your rubbish here, is the question, and it gives you boxes to tick. the first one is i am a joke, the second one is i don't care about this community, and the third one is i think that other people should pay to clean up after me —— jerk. in the final line is don't be a tossup, dispose of your rubbish responsibly. many people say it is a sign that makes a difference. and we are looking at rugby later. carole has a lovely stea m looking at rugby later. carole has a lovely steam beach. —— looking at rugby. carol has a lovely, pristine beach. it is from the channel islands, one of our weather watch is centred on, you can see the level of

cloud and some breaks in that cloud. today there is going to be quite a bit of cloud around but there will be some sunny spells. however, there will also be some showers, and a few of those are going to be heavy and thundery. we are still being driven by low pressure at the moment, and we have got a couple of weather fronts sinking south. they are fairly wea k fronts sinking south. they are fairly weak affairs, but they still are going to bring some showery outbreaks of rain with them. so we have got that this morning across parts of northern ireland and scotland, in south into northern england through the course of the day. further south, the rest of england and south wales will see some sunny spells developed, but as temperatures rise, that in itself could spark off some sharp showers. there could be thundery. you can see some lines here from devon heading up some lines here from devon heading up towards east anglia, another one from the midlands towards the wash, another one from north wales over towards north—east england stop but for most of northern england, northern ireland and scotland, the showers won't be as heavy and they are showers won't be as heavy and they a re less showers won't be as heavy and they are less likely to be thundery. in the far north of scotland, actually seeing some sunshine but feeling cooler, because you have got a northerly breeze. today, gusty winds

through the english channel gusting at about 35 mph or so. now, through the evening and overnight, if anything, the showers will emerge across central parts of england and north wales, and they will be persistent and also heavy at times. on either side of those, well, we will see clearer spells, a little bit of cloud around, still feeling cooler in the north, with that northerly wind. not as cold as we come further south. so tomorrow we start off with this band of showery rain continuing to drift off in the direction of the north sea, and eventually clearing, and tomorrow looks like being generally a drier day, with a little bit of sunshine. there will still be areas of cloud, and rather like today, in the afternoon, as temperatures rise, we will see some sharp showers, particularly across central and some eastern parts of england. then for the afternoon we have a new weather fronts showing its hand across northern england and scotland in the northern isles, introducing some heavy rain and once again gusty winds, gusting to around 45 mph. temperatures 11 in the north to 22

as we come further south. on friday, as we come further south. on friday, a new area of low pressure comes our way, coming infrom a new area of low pressure comes our way, coming in from the atlantic. it will bring heavy rain, some thicker rain in the atlantic and stronger winds. the cloud building ahead of it, but driest in the south—east. the headlines are next. good morning — welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: a warning that the aviation industry is facing its worst crisis ever as the plane maker airbus becomes the latest company to lay off workers. 1700 jobs will go between this site in north wales and filton near bristol. unions say it is industrial vandalism. the government says they cannot save every job. and within the past hour, the owners of the chain of sandwich shops — upper crust — says 5,000 jobs are under threat. life in lockdown — doctors say they aren't getting crucial data quickly enough to help them deal with local

outbreaks of coronavirus. and he's done it — five—year—old tony hudgell completes his charity walk raising more than £1 million. we'll look back at his inspiring journey. good morning. in sport... remembering the man who should've been england's first black player. jack leslie was the victim of racism — now fans want to see him honoured with a statue outside his club. it's wednesday 1st of july. the boss of ryanair tells breakfast that the airline industry is facing its biggest ever crisis. michael o'leary says it's vital the travel industry gets started again sooner rather than later. it comes as the world's largest manufacturer of aeroplanes — airbus — announces its cutting 15,000 jobs worldwide, 1,700 of those are in the uk. nina is outside the airbus factory in broughton in north wales this morning. really bad news for people who work

there, and it also gives you an indication of what is going on in the industry, doesn't it? it absolutely does. yes, 6000 people are based here and some of them are returning to work for the first time today from furlough. they will find out their fate later in the week because around 15% ofjobs at airbus in the uk are expected to go. why is that happening? airbus makes planes and we are flying a lot, lot less. and it's not just and we are flying a lot, lot less. and it's notjust about the media jobs at this factory but the local community here. for every one job that goes three in the supply chain would be expected. i've been speaking to people who live in broughton this morning. it's a big pa rt of broughton this morning. it's a big part of the community, obviously one of the main sources ofjobs around here. the majority of people who live in the area work here so it is a great shame. coronavirus hasn't helped. we all know that. but you know, it's going to be a great shame toa know, it's going to be a great shame to a lot of people. i've got family

members who live here, so everybody everywhere is going to be impacted. and you alluded to it earlier, louise, this is just and you alluded to it earlier, louise, this isjust the and you alluded to it earlier, louise, this is just the latest twist in this saga. earlier in the year easyj et, twist in this saga. earlier in the year easyjet, ryanair, twist in this saga. earlier in the year easyjet, rya nair, british airways, virgin atlantic have between them announced tens of thousands of job losses. between them announced tens of thousands ofjob losses. michael o'leary spoke to breakfast earlier. he is the chief executive of ryanair, and told us this is a real crunch point for the aviation industry in the uk and that the british government needs to sort out air bridges so the hospitality and aviation can run again as quickly as possible. in this covid-19 pandemic we have been grounded for almost four months. it is without doubt the worst, deepest downturn the tourism and airline industry has ever faced and airline industry has ever faced and that's why it is vital that we get people moving again during july and august and get the tourism industry of britain welcoming visitors from europe. people coming

to the uk today on ryanair flights from countries with much lower covid rates than the uk and it is vital if we are going to get the uk hotel, restaurants and tourism sector up and running. despite calls from michael o'leary, despite calls from the unions, there is a harsh reality here. 90% of flights have been grounded over the past few months. airbus predict a full recovery will ta ke airbus predict a full recovery will take up to five years. the government have said they are supporting up to 10 millionjobs through the furlough scheme that has already cost £25 billion. and as alok sharma, the business secretary, said to you earlier, louise, there is only so much the government can do. nina, thank you very much. let's talk to our political reporter nick eardley. nick, as well as these job losses in the aviation industry, there's also been more bad news from the company that owns upper crust sandwich shops, they've said 5,000 jobs are under threat because people aren't travelling.

the government is under real pressure to respond. absolutely. good morning, dan. i think there is lots of pressure on the government from people in westminster think more that what they could do to protectjobs when they could do to protectjobs when they furlough scheme ends, but particularly in those areas where things are not getting back to normal particularly quickly. and the most obvious one is aviation. it is what nina was talking about there, those businesses that rely on all of us travelling and because we are not doing that, they are taking a huge, huge hit as a result. the business secretary alok sharma was asked about this on breakfast about half an hour ago. listen to what he said. or itfor an hour ago. listen to what he said. or it for aviation in particular. the key issue for the aviation sector is travel is down significantly. you talked about airbus where people are travelling less and there is less need for engines to be refurbished, there is

less need for new aircraft and that is something unfortunately we will have to live with and adjust to but we want to make sure we are providing that support across the economy and that's what we have been doing. it's notjust aviation, though, and there have been increasing calls for sector specific support, so those areas that are not getting up and running again, for the furlough scheme to be may be extended for them. i've got to say, so far, the government seems quite relu cta nt to so far, the government seems quite reluctant to do it. alok sharma wasn't quite committed there, saying, listen to what the chancellor says when he speaks in the commons next week. i think that pressure onjobs isjust the commons next week. i think that pressure on jobs is just going to continue because there are those worried that if the right action isn't taken we could see a massive spike in unemployment and that would have potentially quite a devastating impact for so many people. ok, nick, thank you for that analysis. nick ea rdley thank you for that analysis. nick eardley speaking to us from westminster. there's growing pressure on the government to provide local councils with data as quickly as possible to help them deal with spikes in coronavirus

cases in their areas. the british medical association wants ministers to be more open and transparent with information that they say is "vital" in containing outbreaks. it's as tighter lockdown measures continue to be introduced in leicester. our reporter geeta pendse is there for us this morning. we know more details of how this lockdown is going to work. what do people their make of it? i think the mood has shifted a little bit in the sense that there isa little bit in the sense that there is a sense of acceptance here. yesterday, nonessential shops closed and from tomorrow's schools will be closed to most children. we heard earlierfrom a teacher closed to most children. we heard earlier from a teacher who said when she spoke to parents to tell them they were really understanding. it is disappointing for those children who had just got used to being back at school. some local politicians have been quite critical of the government today saying they should have released data much sooner to

local authorities, which has been echoed by the british medical association. all eyes are on the 4th ofjuly, this association. all eyes are on the 4th of july, this saturday, association. all eyes are on the 4th ofjuly, this saturday, as restrictions ease elsewhere, whether people here will want to travel in and out. the advice is that they should only travel in and out of the restricted area if it is essential. the mayor of leicester has made that plea to people to stick together and to stay at home. thank you very much. a lockdown will be re—imposed in some neighbourhoods of australia's second city melbourne later today — following a surge in new coronavirus infections. more than 300,000 people will be banned from crossing the state border into new south wales and there will be heavy fines for breaching the restrictions. authorities say extraordinary steps are needed to bring the infection rate back under control. a new treatment for cystic fibrosis — described as "truly life changing" — is being made available for nhs patients in england. experts say nine out of ten people with the life—limiting condition, which causes breathing and digestion problems, will benefit from the three—drug combination. the nhs in scotland,

wales and northern ireland could also follow suit. here on breakfast later we will speak to somebody who is both taking that drug and is eligible for it as well. it has made a massive change as well. it is eight ninths am. i couldn't read the clock for a moment there! —— 8:09am. five—year—old tony hudgell promised to walk every day injune to raise money for the hospital who saved his life yesterday — who saved his life. yesterday — he did just that — all be raising an astonishing £1 million. graham satchell looks back at his inspiring story. applause five—year—old tony hudgell is taking the final few steps of an extraordinary challenge. captain tom had done it. i saw him on tv walking the other day. i said i could do that.

the plan — to walk every day for a month and raise money for the hospital that saved his life. we want to raise money — £500. isn't that right, mum? he has done a little better than that. people have donated more than £1 million. it's a lot of money, isn't it? yes! are you ready? let's go. take it nice and slow. go back a month, and this is day one of the challenge, on his new prosthetic legs. the first walk took almost an hour. keep going, you're doing so well. bearing in mind he could barely take a few steps on one june, a few steps on ist june, and now he can just fly off. and there he goes. tony has come a remarkably long way in his short life. when he was just a few weeks

old, tony was admitted to the evelina hospital in london. he had been abused by his biological parents so badly, he had to have both legs amputated. but tony is a fighter, and he hit the jackpot when paula and herfamily adopted him. he isjust one in a million. he's had such a difficult start in life, and to see start in life, and to succeed as he has isjust tremendous. mark, how strong is that son of yours? oh, incredibly strong. hejust keeps going. on this programme, we followed tony's challenge from the start. hello, tony. it's david walliams here. i wanted to say congratulations on your incredible achievement. he has had messages of support from celebrities... what an amazing thing it is you're doing. oh, absolutely amazing. you are a hero. ..and from the man who first inspired him. ..and from the man who first inspired him. well done, tony. haven't you done well.

on behalf of captain tom and the entire family, we're so impressed with what you have done, tony. it's incredible. so i'm an amputee. i lost one of my legs in an accident, and i have my running legs beside me. just before his final walk, we set up a call with paralympian long jumper stef reid. is this your leg? as well as comparing legs, stef wanted to give tony a present. i want you to have my rio 2016 competition singlet. i've been saving it for a special occasion, and this is it. you're everything i have strived to be as paralympian. go, tony, go. from stef reid. wow. aren't you so, so lucky? hold it up. so, tony, you are now an honorary paralympian.

you cannot buy those in stores, and i'm so glad you now have one. wow. applause and so, after a month of walking every day, tony finishes his challenge. the money he has raised for the evelina hospital will change lives. who knows what he might do next? he can achieve anything that he absolutely wants to. he has proved that. he has proved that today. he has proved that by surviving. that, you know, whatever he wants, he will do, and i'm sure he'll be a great success in life. applause what a superstar and what a story. and he's here. let's speak to tony and his parents, mark and paula hugdell. good morning to you all again and

lovely to have you back on brea kfast. lovely to have you back on breakfast. what a day yesterday. talk us through those final few moments. go on, tony, throw it up there. what was yesterday like? the amount of support and people that turned up to support him was incredible and it was just so emotional. i think it brought a tear to lots of people's eyes seeing him cross the finish line. tony, i saw you a minute to go when you were watching. you were yawning a bit. how are you feeling this morning, tony? tired. he looks pretty tired. you must all be tired, paula. yes, we are, it was a very emotional day and quite draining as well. but it was lovely. it was lovely to have all the love and support. the community came out, people travelled. it was really a magnificent day. his consultants

we re magnificent day. his consultants were there as well. it was just a very emotional day but one that we will always remember.” very emotional day but one that we will always remember. i don't know if tony can tell us this, but may be paula, you can fill us in, about the biggest reaction from him. we have seen david walliams, ant and dec, steph reid, all of these lovely messages. the last time you were on with louise and i commerces azpilicueta said he would like to bring you down. what has caused that response from him over the last few weeks? —— cesar azpilicueta. response from him over the last few weeks? -- cesar azpilicueta. all of those messages from those people he has received, he has loved every single one and had a beautiful reaction to every single one. we cannot thank them enough. he has absolutely loved it, he really has. he might be tired today.

he yawns. what a yawn, tony. yawns are so eye—catching, but everybody watching is yawning. also giving a good morning yawn as well! at the start it was very much about tony learning how to walk etc. how much difference has it made to him physically as well? his walking has improved immensely. it was lovely yesterday for his consultants seeing him walk as well. we have waited three years for him to be able to walk like that. the difference in his walking in those four weeks, it is not even comparable, really. although we set the challenge of ten kilometres, he actually walked over 12.5 kilometres in the end so way, way above target. amazing. mark, we

heard from captain tom who originally inspired tony and yourselves to get involved in this. i would imagine you have had a lot of m essa g es i would imagine you have had a lot of messages now from people who tony has inspired and who are watching his story and the amount of money he's been able to raise and what he has managed to achieve and it has had quite a big impact on others as well. we have had a huge amount of messages. people that have been through the same type of situation as tony did in their childhood have opened up to us. some of the m essa g es opened up to us. some of the messages have been very emotional to read. but i think actually it is fantastic that a 100—year—old can inspire a five—year—old. it has been wonderful. that has been one of the most wonderful things in lockdown, captain tom moore and then tony, and thejoint experience captain tom moore and then tony, and the joint experience and everybody joining in and giving money. thank you. look at that cup! you talk

about going over target, the original target on money was £500. this is going to make a huge difference, isn't it? absolutely. never in the history of the hospital has the sort of money ever been raised before. this is going to help so many children, so many children, and tony as well. his ongoing care there will continue. there is a likelihood of another operation pretty soon as welljust because of how well he has done. and this money can go to put it into all the best places within the hospital. we will be in talks with them to all agree on where within the hospital that will go. it is going to the evelina hospital in london which is a children's hospital, who are so thankfulfor children's hospital, who are so thankful for the work tony has done. the last time we spoke to them it was around 200,000 or so to get over

1 million quid is amazing, congratulations to you all. captain tom moore says he will keep walking, what about tony's plans? any walks in the pipeline? he seems to have improved his technique and style in recent weeks as well. obviously we are going to keep moving forward now with his walking. that will carry on every day. now he will be able to go into school and be at the same height as his peers which he hasn't been before, which was lovely to see yesterday. because obviously his school friends came up to support him. he carried on walking on his crutches for at least another hour and a half after the walk yesterday and a half after the walk yesterday and he didn't want to take his legs off which was the first time ever. we are hoping going into school the use of the crutches will carry on and just keep improving. do you know, it is just such an incredible journey. tony, when are you planning the next walk, or are you just going to have a lie down today? yes. going

to have a lie down today? yes. going to have a lie down today? yes. going to have a lie down? tony, throw that trophy up for us one last time because our guz viewers are really enjoying that. like you have won the cup. go on, son! we can't leave you this money without bringing you bang up—to—date but the fundraising. louise reminded us all that it started at £500. it is currently at 1,120,000 and a little bit more. all of the wonderful efforts you have made, you have raised over £1 million for the hospital, so congratulations tony, and paula and mark as well. congratulations and thank you for allowing us to be part of that journey, we have enjoyed it on brea kfast journey, we have enjoyed it on breakfast and all of the viewers have as well. thank you very much indeed. thank you! ithink have as well. thank you very much indeed. thank you! i think oh, well deserved rest for everybody, actually. well done. what a lovely lad he is and thank you to all of those bbc

brea kfast viewers and thank you to all of those bbc breakfast viewers who have supported tony and lots of the other things we have talked about over the last few months of lockdown, you have been fantastic in your generosity. it is 8:20am. the weather may not be as nice as it was this time last week, but there's growing concern that when the sun comes out again — so will all that he rubbish. lots of you have been getting in touch about this this morning. —— all that rubbish. beauty spots like parks and beaches have been plagued with litter as the lockdown has eased in recent weeks, as breakfast'sjohn maguire has been finding out. those who work to keep not just our towns and cities but also our countryside and coasts clear of rubbish, say they are shocked and saddened by these scenes. a perfect storm — easing of lockdown, sunny weather, many activities are still not allowed, and one crucial ingredient. it's a clear case of individual responsibility that we just seem to have lost control of in the last 2—3 months. and, you know, it's incumbent on all of us to use a bin. if the bins are full, you don't have an excuse to leave it behind. you could be bothered to bring the stuff to the park,

you can be bothered to take it home and put it in your bin at home. it's really straightforward. now, that message will get through to some people, it won't get through to others, and that's where we really need robust enforcement. it also flies in the face of the progress made in recent years to reduce the amount of plastic ending up in our oceans. to see all the rubbish that was left this last week, when everybody just piled onto the beach and just left it there, and not even attempt to try and bring it up to the bins. i can understand if people try to put it in a bin and a bin is full, but where it'sjust been left on a beach just to wash out to sea, and all the damage that can cause, that's utterly heartbreaking, and we're really upset about it. but here at saltford, near bath, plastic is part of the answer — a thin yellow line of traffic cones to deter visitors to a beauty spot after it was inundated with people and their rubbish. there are calls for a national anti—littering campaign and more money for local authorities —

notjust to clear up mess, but also to issue on—the—spot fines. we are, campaigners say, in the grips of a litter emergency. john maguire, bbc news. it just makes me itjust makes me think i'd better not speak seeing those pictures. yes, i know. it is infuriating. it is infuriating. it is, isn't it? what is going to be done? let's cross now to our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn who's at a park in rugby for us this morning — and, kath, something a bit unusual‘s happening later on there isn't it. good morning from the this park in rugby this morning. it is beautiful, green and tranquil this morning but this is one of the green open spaces here up—and—down the country, one of them that has seen just a sea of white, a sea of litter as droves of people have descended. you have seen the pictures from john's package up—and—down the country, beaches,

parks, people gathering because they feel like they haven't had any where else to go, and they have been doing more eating and drinking outside than they normally would and we are even hearing reports of people ordering takeaway food to individual park benches. and that means there isa park benches. and that means there is a lot more litter. what it has done is because worries that it has set us back as a nation in terms of littering and something needs to be done about it. rugby council so they have been gathering about ten tonnes of extra rubbish every day, particularly during the hot weather and it is causing a huge strain on their resources. so injust and it is causing a huge strain on their resources. so in just a and it is causing a huge strain on their resources. so injust a couple of minutes' time they are going to dump that rubbish that you can see behind me. it is about a tonne's worth in that van, to send out a message to people that they really need to be thinking about what they are doing, especially before this weekend which is expected to be very busy. chris from rugby counciljoins

me now. people have been anxious to get out and about, lockdown has been easing, you can't blame them, really, can you ? easing, you can't blame them, really, can you? you can't, our parks haven't played a major part during the pandemic. they are the only major spaces that have been opened and we have seen part use increased nationally by 136%, a great increase, and it has been great increase, and it has been great to see people using our open spaces but on the downside it has produced a huge amount of litter and anti—social behaviour. produced a huge amount of litter and anti-social behaviour. we heard earlierfrom keep britain tidy anti-social behaviour. we heard earlier from keep britain tidy that it is quite a lot of young people. you don't want to label anyone but it is groups of young people that might have been at festivals, might have been at big outside gatherings and they are not getting to go to those so they are coming to places like this instead. that's right, a different demographic that would be somewhere else normally, they are using local green spaces and staying local, which is the message of course, but there is a message that needs to be understood about being

responsible and our simple message we are trying to give out is if you are carrying it in, carry it out and ta ke are carrying it in, carry it out and take it home and put it in the bin. there is also an issue around a single use plastic. we have made quite a lot of progress on that as a country and local authorities have been doing that too. we seem to have got backwards because of the idea of more food and drink being around in parks and beaches in public spaces. that's correct, we have become an extension to pub garden is essentially. with pubs be closed and green spaces being open people are buying alcohol and food and taking it to the local park but then not acting responsibly when they are here and leaving strewn across the floor. ten tonnes of extra rubbish a day. that must be equivalent to a lot more cash you are spending on this service. it is a lot of extra cash and resources and time. we are still recovering from the pandemic. we have staff we need to employ to help our vulnerable communities so

this is quite a drain on those resources . this is quite a drain on those resources. who came up with this idea that we are just about to see now? this came from our staff to demonstrate the amount of litter we are collecting, bringing it into our green flag award winning park and dumping it in an ornamental setting. dumping it means you have to pick it up dumping it means you have to pick it up again, some people would say that isa up again, some people would say that is a bit counter—productive. up again, some people would say that is a bit counter—productivem up again, some people would say that is a bit counter-productive. it does but we have great staff. here it goes. our staff are our greatest asset so they will pick it back up again as they have been doing throughout the pandemic. two of them here and now coordinating this. as you can see, going to get that out of the lorry and clear it up. it is a message from rugby council and we know councils up—and—down the country are sending the same message to people ahead of this weekend, if you are going out and about to public spaces, please take your litter home. thank you very much indeed and it is a stark visual image, isn't it? the plastic etc and rubbish being dumped. thank you very much indeed,

kathryn stanczyszyn. i like that message, if you carry it in, carry it out. our local park in sheffield during the hot weather last week it would ta ke the hot weather last week it would take counsel and volunteers until two o'clock the following day to tidy up from the day before and then the same thing happened. what is going on? it does get on a lot of people's wick and thank you for being in touch today. helen ward boys has been in touch about litter in one part of scotland. she said she picked up 103 bags of rubbish during lockdown on a five mile stretch of the main road coming into glencoe. she says she thinks they should be harsher fines and good on you for picking it up. sarah in milton keynes has been in touch to say my family and i are so disgusted by the rubbish that we have seen dumped on the walks we have seen dumped on the walks we have been on and the bike rides we have been on and the bike rides we have been on and the bike rides we have been on, my children are four, seven and 12 and understand it is not acceptable to leave rubbish. this is the important thing, if you brought it you can take it away. it

can damage wildlife and the environment. sadly, every time we have been out we have managed to collect a whole bag of recycling. what is the answer? we don't know. later we will talk about barbecues kind disposable by barbecues, there are kind disposable by barbecues, there a re calls kind disposable by barbecues, there are calls for them to be banned because of causing fires on moorland. if litter makes you angry, you know when there is a bin that has space in it about ten metres away from where someone has dumped rubbish. taking it away is one thing, we should all do that, but if you can't be bothered to pick up what you have brought in and put it in a bin over there there is something wrong with your brain! let's talk about nice things. i'm not sure the picture carol has is nicer but what is the weather picture? it is a foggy start in parts of anglesey, we have had some mist and fog on the hills and coasts and most of it will slowly lift and for many of us it will be a cloudy day. however, there is some sunshine in the forecast and also some showers. they have me going from really early morning and through the

night for that matter. low pressure still in charge of our weather, look at these weather fronts moving southwards. they are fairly weak affairs but they are producing showers. the shower is continuing across scotland, northern ireland, getting on across northern england. those showers are not likely to be thundery. but come further south where we have some sunshine around and temperatures rising, those showers that develop a more likely to be thundery. you can see the lines from south devon over towards east anglia, the midlands, towards the wash, and overfrom north wales heading over to hull. then we have the other showers of the weather front across northern england, northern ireland and scotland but some sunshine across the far north of scotla nd some sunshine across the far north of scotland but feeling chilly because of the northerly breeze here. 11—14 in the north and 16—21 as we progressively push southwards. gusty winds today through the english channel gusting at about 35 mph or so. through this evening and overnight, all of these showers will merge and that means we will see

some persistent rain and some of that will be heavy. on either side of that band, we are looking at some clear skies but also one or two showers and areas of cloud. still cool in the north, 7—8 in that northerly breeze, and further south not as cold, we are looking up 12-13. first not as cold, we are looking up 12—13. first thing tomorrow we have to say goodbye to this line of showers pushing eventually into the north sea, leaving behind it a drier day than today. a bit more sunshine as well, but still areas of cloud. and like today, when temperatures rise in the sunshine, well, we are likely to see some more showers develop, particularly across central and eastern england. but they are showers so not all of us will catch one and if you dodge 122 degrees in the sunshine will feel quite pleasant. at the same time, i knew weather front is coming on across the far north of scotland and that will introduce heavier rain across shetland and also gusty winds here. now, on friday, another area of low pressure in from the atlantic and it

is going to bring thicker cloud and heavy rain with it and gusty winds. the heaviest rain will be across western scotland. the whole band is moving west to east. ahead of it there will always be more cloud developing with the odd shower. so, brightest skies for the longest in the south—east. here we are looking at 21 degrees. what about the weekend? for many, unsettled and pretty windy at times. thank you very much, carol, we will see you later. it has just gone 8:30am, you are watching breakfast with louise and dan.

the boss of ryanair michael o'leary, has told breakfast that the airline industry is facing its biggest crisis. it comes as the world's largest manufacturer of aeroplanes — airbus — announces its cutting thousands of jobs. 1700 staff in the uk will be affected in bristol and north wales, while 15,000 jobs will be lost globally. easyjet has also announced plans to close three of its uk bases. it is vital to get people moving again during july and august to get the tourism industry in britain welcoming visitors from europe. you have people coming to the uk from countries with much lower covid rates than the uk and it is vital if we are going to get the uk hotel, restau ra nts a nd we are going to get the uk hotel, restaurants and tourism sector up and running in july restaurants and tourism sector up and running injuly and august. the company that owns upper crust sandwich shops says up to 5,000 jobs are under threat. ssp group which also owns caffe ritazza. it says it needs to make changes because of the huge fall in the number of passengers at railway stations and airports due to the coronavirus pandemic. the government is being urged to act more quickly to provide local councils with information about potential spikes in coronavirus cases. it's after criticism over the length of time it took to get testing data

to officials in leicester. the british medical association wants ministers to be more open and transparent with information that they say is "vital" in containing outbreaks. we have been talking about rubbish, haven't we? let's talk about disposable barbecues which also get left around. there are calls for a ban on disposable barbeques in parts of the uk, after they were linked to a number of serious fires in the last couple of years. shops in the new forest have been asked not to sell them, whilst some politicians in the north west of england want legislation to ban barbecues on open moorland. adam mcclean reports. the changes to the landscape in this part of lancashire began with a single flame, as a disposable barbecue was lit. an entire hillside was left charred. people in my opinion don't quite grasp the risk involved, and certainly not the consequences, of using a disposable barbecue.

so, if the ground was covered in shredded paper and wood shavings, people would definitely think twice about lighting a naked flame. but the grass, certainly when we had the fire here, and the ground, was as dry as shredded paper. it's estimated that more than1 million disposable barbecues are sold in the uk every year. but the convenience of cooking on open fires in dangerous areas is causing destruction across the country. when you light a disposable barbecue, in the first instance, you're using a naked flame. quite often you get flaming, and then you will get sparks. all you need is one of those sparks to get away, set fire to the grass near the barbecue. and with a breeze like we have today, which we had during the height of the incident we had here, it can cover large areas, cause massive damage, very, very quickly. the fire here in farwen moor grew so large that these firebreaks had to be put into stop it spreading any further. what began as someone's

disposable barbecue, ended with the blaze that covered four square kilometres. a petition to stop the sale of disposable barbecues now has more than 35,000 signatures. the area's mp wants them banned here. we must stop taking naked flames up onto our moors. if we don't stop the use of disposable barbecues and other naked flames, like chinese lanterns, we're going to lose this fantastic habitat behind me, and, unfortunately, before too long, somebody‘s going to lose their life, as well. it is believed that this fire which started on the balcony of an apartment in south london was caused by a single—use barbecue last month. they also caused a large wildfire at wareham forest in dorset five weeks ago. we had very strong eyewitness suggestions as to where the fire started from, and in the area where we believe the fire started from, we found 11 discarded single—use disposable barbecues. they should use them sensibly, and they should use them

in a responsible way. we do believe that there are occasions when they should be prohibited from specific sites, and this should include forestry and heathland, where the risk is high. somebody has clearly lit a bonfire here. it's within a metre or so of our beautiful pine trees. they are, as you can see, dry as tinder, and they take light very easily. it doesn't take much for flames to shoot up towards the canopies. we have our red squirrels here. this is an important habitat. the recent wildfires have wiped out populations of ground nesting birds and with the squirrels on the moors, with these rare squirrels at risk. almost every month we've had colleagues in the fire service coming to attend fires — coastal areas, moorland areas. since the ease of lockdown, it has become a really frequent occurrence. we're not sure why, but we're very concerned about it. much of the land affected by these

wildfires will never fully recover. the grass on darwen moor is already growing back, but once burned, the heather and wildlife that call it home are gone for good. cancelling the real problem is being caused there. we're joined now by oliver crosthwaite—eyre, who is chairman of the new forest national park authority. how concerned are you about these barbecues? well, the story behind it is very well put by your reportjust now. it struck a chord with the public. we've only been campaigning to have a ban on disposable barbecues now for just to have a ban on disposable barbecues now forjust over two weeks and we have almost all the retailers in the forest and we are hoping some of the national retailers who have outlets in the forest willjoin the campaign, which

will mean that very shortly, if all goes well, it will be almost impossible to buy a disposable barbecue here in the new forest national park. that is really great progress. how much difference will it make? it will reduce the risk of the sort of horrendous fires that took place only a few weeks ago in wareham, in neighbouring dorset, happening here in the forest. we had 60,000 acres of tinder dry ancient woodland and lowland heath and it could all go up in flames very quickly if disposable barbecues are used. we know that, the evidence is there, your report shows it nationwide. and some of the damage, we are looking at it now, a huge wall of flame next to a horse, for example. looking at the devastation, it could take years, presumably, for that to come back? these fires,

obviously, they're hugely destructive. they thought of such a thing happening here in the forest is appalling. what do you say to people who think it is a lovely day, we are going to go out, we are going to have, i don't know, a picnic or whatever and they are thinking of taking a disposable barbecue, what would your message be? please don't. firstly, they are not allowed here in the national park. and we say there is no place for bar disposable barbecues anywhere in the open countryside. the risk they can cause a fire is enormous and the very nature of a disposable barbecue, the intense heat they throw out, the fa ct intense heat they throw out, the fact they get left behind, so they are unattended, and that is probably when these fires start. and they are not allowed in the park, is that police quite heavily, how does that work? it would be impossible to actually police something like this but we are appealing to the common—sense of people who come to

forest. we know they want to respect and care for the forest and a very good start is to follow our forest code, which is identical to the countryside code. one of the key thing is both codes say is don't light fires. we have also been talking about litter, is that problem you have also seen in the new forest like other places? litter, sadly, is a problem. one only has to look at what can happen toa only has to look at what can happen to a stretch of publicly used beach last weekend in bournemouth to see the sort of litter that can accumulate. we would hate for that to happen here in the forest. again, oursimple to happen here in the forest. again, our simple message is, please, when you come, please don't leave anything behind, take it with you. you have worked with local retailers which has been successful, you talk about national retailers, would you like a about national retailers, would you likea ban about national retailers, would you like a ban in legislation on disposable barbecues? last night there was a petition presented by one of our local members of

parliament in the house of commons, asking forjust parliament in the house of commons, asking for just that. parliament in the house of commons, asking forjust that. the petition comes from local new forest residents who also had started the national online petition that you mentioned in your report. it's now got 35,000 signatures, which is i think a very clear sign that the public understand that disposable barbecues are a very real source of danger in the countryside for starting fires. very good to chat to you. oliver crosthwaite—eyre from the new forest national park authority. we have the support and a remarkable story about jack leslie? yes, he could be a household name by now if history had gone the other way. jack leslie is a football player you'd probably never heard of before today, but fans of plymouth argyle are starting a campaign to have his statue erected in the city. leslie was selected for to play for england in 1925. but he was then taken out of the squad —

because he was black. clive coleman has the story. jack leslie, a phenomenal footballer, but was he denied his place in sporting history because of the colour of his skin? jack leslie played for plymouth argyle, then in the 3rd division, in the 1920s. he's believed to be the first black player to captain a league side. here at plymouth, jack leslie scored 137 goals, at times, suffering racial abuse from both crowds and opponents but, in 1925, the club manager called him into his office and gave him some thrilling news —jack leslie had been picked to play for england. it was the talk of the town. but when the papers came out some days later, billy walker, of aston villa, was in the team. jack was named as a travelling reserve. he never travelled. england struggled a 0—0 draw in belfast, while jack scored twice in plymouth‘s 7—2 victory

at home to bournemouth. what happened to jack has passed into family history. you have the wedding picture there, which isjust lovely, isn't it? they looked so happy, didn't they? certainly did. lovely picture. yes. well, in those days, you didn't have the television. if someone came down to watch him, they were not watching his football, they were looking at the colour of his skin and, because of that, he was denied the chance of playing for his country. plymouth argyle has already honoured one of its greatest players in this mural and has renamed its boardroom after him, but fans want a statue ofjack and a campaign is under way. we think that at a time when some statues are coming down, we want to campaign to put a statue up, to celebrate jack leslie, his incredible achievements, but also to remember that historic injustice where he was denied his england cap.

the last thing on my mind was me being the first black player to play for england. commentator: intercepted by viv anderson, he's on his way. one to his right, one to his left... 53 years afterjack leslie's selection for the national side, viv anderson became the first black player to win a full england cap. it's incredible that, to get the euphoria of getting the call up from the manager to say that you've been picked for england and then, within a few days, the let down of being dismissed from the squad because of the colour of his skin, it is appalling, really. i'd never heard ofjack leslie until two weeks ago and that's a crying shame, because what he achieved and what he did should be paramount in every black person's mind, you know? but, hopefully, this statue we're trying to get erected will carry on his legacy. after his playing days, jack returned to his trade as a boilermaker, before ending his working life in the boot room at west ham, where he cleaned mud from the boots from england stars bobby moore and geoff hurst — hardly fitting for a man who should have been remembered alongside them and now, perhaps, will be.

clive coleman, bbc news. those pictures at the end of that report are remarkable, aren't they? cleaning mud of the boots. it resonates, brings home what could have happened to jack lesley. we will follow the story about the statue as it happens. thank you. over a third of universities and higher education institutions in the uk will deliver lectures online only for at least the first term of the next academic year — this according to research by this programme. information obtained by bbc breakfast and analysis of publicly available data also found that most universities will be charging students in full. tim muffett reports. student life as was — lectures, learning, people, parties. but a measure of the reality that awaits. the university of surrey, where preparations are being made for september.

there will be fewer students on campus, lecture theatres remain empty as lectures move online. we're looking at the guidance we are receiving from the government and then putting that into practice. we're going to have one—way traffic when we need to and we will have limited numbers of students and certain capacities on some spaces. bbc breakfast has analysed the views of 166 universities and higher education institutions across the uk. there are 178 in total and this research was done before the most recent government announcement regarding the easing of lockdown restrictions. more than a third said that from september, lectures will be online only for the first term at least. when it comes to smaller groups, for tutorials and seminars, 60% of universities said they would be delivered through a combination of online and face—to—face sessions. laurel from bolton has been put off education,

she's going to defer her place at leeds arts university for a year. i don't really want to be paying upwards of £9,000 to do online learning, especially from home. university's, like, an experience, it's notjust a degree at the end of three years — it's going away from home and doing things as, like, an adult for the first time. how do you feel about all this uncertainty? it's kind of terrifying, being 18 and going out into the world is terrifying as it is but to then have a world where everything is uncertain upon what you're already uncertain about, it's, like, overwhelming. this summer term, more than 90% of universities suspended all face—to—face teaching and yet only one, staffordshire, reduced its fees for uk students. the overwhelming majority of universities are planning to charge students fees in the full next year.

this isn't the university experience some have signed up for, shouldn't there be some reduction in fees? students will have access to our excellent academic staff who will be teaching them and teaching them in different ways, so it's not about reducing fees, it's about ensuring excellent education. for school friends kieran and bhiramah, there are glimmers of light and its gloom. online lectures, there could be a benefit if they are recorded and you will be able to learn in a different way. grades permitting, both intend to go to university in september. is it right you should pay full fees for your university experience? i'm not too sure. my university has assured me that all the resources i would need that would be in the libraries etc, and all my lectures and seminars will be transferred online, so i guess that's ok, but so many of university isn't about the academics, it's about the clubs and societies, going into the next stage of life and having all these careers fairs, which i will miss out on. voiceover: wear your uel id card

and a face covering at all times. the university of east london has produced this promotional video for new students. we have here a campus which houses over 10,000 students on a normal basis, so, actually, to get that campus covid secure is actually obviously quite a challenge. you've got to deliver a full university experience, it cannot be replaced with an online experience. the department of education in england told the bbc it was up to universities to set their own fees and students should be given as much certainty and transparency as possible. scottish universities in scotland don't pay fees, the government said there that safety on campus would be a priority during a phased return from september. the welsh government said:

the northern ireland executive said: compared to previous years, though, higher education is likely to look and feel very different. tim muffett, bbc news. there is no doubt, freshers week will look different for lots of universities. i know many of you are concerned about that. not about freshers week! laughter they should be! lots of people getting in contact today on two subjects. one is litter and how to deal with it, lots of suggestions. one person saying when you go onto a beach, maybe there could be a scheme where you buy a big bag and you then get that money back when you bring the bag back off the beach. so like rent a bag? the other thing people are getting in contact about today is the amazing tony, who was walking ten kilometres was the plan, trying to raise £500 for the hospital in

london that helped him when he had to have his legs removed a very early age. he is now raised over £1 million, has finished his walking. so many people notjust reflecting on tony's achievement but also on his parents, mark and paula and the amazing work they had done and the way they have inspired him and others as well. fair play says steve, amazing says elayne, what a brave boy! another, i'm so impressed with your loving parents, they have been so fabulously supportive and encouraging to you the whole way. so many people saying they were trying not to cry but have been unable to hold it in. howard says he is a rare one, tony. it's young men like him that give me a real belief the future will be ok. tony, if you are watching, you have helped a lot of people! and thank you to you as well because the amount of money has gone up because the amount of money has gone up considerably. by £27,000. always amazed by your generosity so thank you for the things we put on the tv.

8:52. cystic fibrosis can affect individuals differently but the symptoms of the condition are caused by a build—up of thick sticky mucus in the lungs, digestive system and other organs. now a "life transforming" treatment could offer hope to more than 7,000 people in england after a deal has been made with vertex pharmaceuticals which makes the drug. let's hear what this will mean for people living with the life—limiting condition. it's really interesting because it's a drug that actually treats the fundamental problem and it will help clear secretions from their lungs. it will improve their lung function enormously by somewhere in the region of 10—15%. but individuals have reported up to 40%. it will make it much easier for them to breathe, clear secretions, to exercise, to gain weight to live full and more normal lives. cystic fibrosis is caused by a defect of the genes and this won't be applicable for everybody. we think somewhere in the region of 10% of people with cystic fibrosis won't benefit

from this new treatment. let's speak to alexandra andrews, who has been taking the treatment for eight weeks now and catherine diffy who hasjust found out she is eligible for it. alexandra, so, tell us, how much difference has it made to you, what kind of differences are you seeing? it has made a massive difference. so, for example, my cough, i'd be coughing two hours in the morning just to clear my chest before i can start the day and that is constant coughing. you know what it is like if you cough for two minutes, how long it feels. but coughing for two hours to clear your chest is exhausting. throughout the day, coughing and in the evening, two hours before you go to bed, coughing. thick and sticky mucus, it's not nice. and, you know, that

just makes you feel terrible. i've been so much better. i haven't had all that coughing. i've gained seven kilos in weight, which is amazing. it's a really healthy weight and it helps you fight infections, gaining so much weight. so much things change for you and giving back time in your life with not having to cough like that all the time out yellow yes, yes, that's been a big thing for a lot of people, the amount they can reduce some of their treatments. i didn't do tonnes of treatments. i didn't do tonnes of treatments so it didn't do that for me but it has given me time to do more things that i enjoy, like gardening and things like that. it's enabled me to be able to get out there and mow the lawn and do all there and mow the lawn and do all the things you probably take for granted with physical health. it has helped me amazingly. catherine is listening to what you are saying and ican listening to what you are saying and i can see a big smile on herface.

catherine, when you found out you could get this new treatment from your consultant, i'm sure you've heard many stories like alexandra's. what was your reaction?” heard many stories like alexandra's. what was your reaction? i was quite taken aback, i didn't quite believe it at first. but i am so happy not just for me but for others. it's going to make such a big difference. i know personally, i'm still able to go to work and do things that other people can do but i know for some people can do but i know for some people it's going to be a life and death situation for them. so it's pretty incredible that it's going to improve so many lives. do you know when you will be able to go on the treatment, catherine? i'm not yet sure. i talked to my consultant last year about this, about the possibility of the drug coming out and the fact my genetic mutations are eligible for it but we still need the conversation of when i can start. alexandra, for you as well, things like life expectancy and

thinking about the future, has it sort of affected the way you think about things like that? well, i'm actually 45 with it, so that's quite old to have survived with it because a lot of people die in their 20s and stuff. so that's a strange one. i've lived with it all my life and you've a lwa ys lived with it all my life and you've always had this expectancy. when i was born, they said i wouldn't make it to perhaps 15. so living with those sort of things, it's difficult. you just tend to not think about that too much and just get on with your life but you do feel, like with this new drug, i do feel, like with this new drug, i do feel there is more hope and there is a longer period. i was thinking a lot about dying in the last three yea rs, lot about dying in the last three years, especially the last year, a lot of private thoughts about that, obviously. you know, i've realised in the last few weeks, i haven't thought about that for a long time, which is... yeah, it'sjust... yeah,

it's quite life changing, really. thank you for being honest about thoughts like that, as well. catherine, it's something you are born with full young people like you this will make a difference for the whole of their lives? definitely. i have been living with it all my life so it's always kind of been there but it's going to be quite a change to sort out suddenly, hopefully, not to sort out suddenly, hopefully, not to have symptoms and difficulties and, yeah, it could really extend lives from a young age, which is incredible. thank you so much to the pair review. alexandra, i love the fa ct pair review. alexandra, i love the fact here you are being really open and honest with us this morning, told he would not live beyond the age of 15 and you are mowing the lawn at 45 and enjoying it! good on you. i do actually, that thing with the drug, you can't rest on your laurels. i have had to put a lot of ha rd laurels. i have had to put a lot of hard work into it. i've been able to exercise every day and i still take

things like herbal medicine to help me with any side effects. it's really important to keep, to take ca re of really important to keep, to take care of your own health as well, and ta ke care of your own health as well, and take responsibility for that. thank you both very much indeed. that is it from us for the moment. charlie and naga will be back with you from 6:00 tomorrow morning. have a good day — goodbye.
