good morning. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has completed a re—shuffle of his shadow cabinet team, in response to disappointing election results across england last week. let's take a look at some of the changes that have been made... angela rayner, the deputy leader, was sacked from her role as party chair on saturday, before being handed more senior roles last night. three of them. another high profile dismissal was anneliese dodds, who lost her job as shadow chancellor. she takes up the position of party chair in place of ms rayner. ms dodds was replaced as shadow chancellor by rachel reeves. wes streeting, considered to be a strong media performer, was promoted to the shadow cabinet, in charge of the child poverty brief. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas has more. any news on the reshuffle? for the labour leader, this was a late finish after a torrid few days. in his office, he'd worked deep into sunday evening

to complete his reworking of his top team. sir keir starmer says labour needs bold ideas after a disappointing set of elections and must change. so, out goes anneliese dodds. she has lost herjob as shadow chancellor. once part ofjeremy corbyn�*s team, she has been moved to the lower—profile role of party chair. it was sir kier�*s difficulty shifting the old party chair, his deputy, angela rayner, that complicated this reshuffle. her allies say she has emerged strengthened with a new role to find ways to win back voters lost to the conservatives. angela rayner tweeted... labour's new shadow chancellor is rachel reeves. she tweeted. ..

and wes streeting has a new shadow cabinet role focused on child poverty. he said... the weekend did bring some labour cheer. tracy brabin, the first ever mayor of west yorkshire, adding to gains in cambridgeshire and the west of england. and labour won council seats in places that have been traditional tory areas — in west sussex, oxfordshire, and worthing on the south coast. but with all council results in, the bigger picture remains sobering for labour. in these elections, it lost control of eight councils, while the conservatives have gained control of more than a dozen. winning back lost voters — labour's challenge. damian grammaticas, bbc news.

let's talk to the re—elected mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham. hello, of greater manchester, andy burnham. congratula�* tweeted hello, congratulations to you. you tweeted you couldn't support the sacking of angela rayner as chair of the labour party and election campaign coordinator, why not? because angela rayner is a formidable campaigner, we are very proud of her here in greater manchester. and, actually, labour should have been celebrating its election results on saturday night. i find election results on saturday night. ifind it election results on saturday night. i find it frustrating, election results on saturday night. ifind it frustrating, to be honest, to be reading headlines like that when we just had a great result in greater machester, another one down the road in liverpool. why were we having, you know, a civil war and why were we making moves like that? i made it clear that we move on this money, victoria. iam i made it clear that we move on this money, victoria. i am glad the shadow cabinet reshuffle has been resolved and angela rayner�*s position has been resolved. we will get on with the job and that is what i have been doing on the public

transport system. i committed to bring forward timetable for buses pre—being brought back under public control —— buses being. a london style transport system with london level fares and that is what i am saying to the prime minister, that is levelling up, work with us and make it happen with us. you is levelling up, work with us and make it happen with us. you say you want to move _ make it happen with us. you say you want to move on, _ make it happen with us. you say you want to move on, that's _ want to move on, that's understandable. i have more questions about what happened over the last 48 hours, as you might imagine. angela rayner was the election campaign coordinator. when i was reporting from hartlepool, staunch labour supporters, their description, staunch labour supporters, were saying they didn't know what labour stood for now. is that not down to the election campaign coordinator? everyone has a role and has — campaign coordinator? everyone has a role and has to — campaign coordinator? everyone has a role and has to take _ campaign coordinator? everyone has a role and has to take some _ role and has to take some responsibility but it is about collecting rather than saying it is all about one person. you know, angela rayner doesn't set all of the policies on which we fight elections. that's why i made my displeasure clear, victoria. but, as

i say, i'm glad it's been resolved and seems to have been resolved in the right way. and it is now about moving forward. you know, labour's got to stop this sort of internal focus, you know, the civil war between those on the left of the party and those on the right of the party. from my point of view, that's absolutely pointless and destructive. you know, we have got a fantastic vision here in greater machester. this is labour in power, showing what we can do. buses under public control, these are labour policies. isn't it about time the party started celebrating those things? the labour mayors, we have a new woman mayor in west yorkshire, tracy brabin and steve rotherham re—elected. eight labour mayors elected at the weekend. but across the country there are now ten, this is a positive story. labour has been way too lukewarm about english devolution so far. and it now enthusiastically needs to get behind it. the party, this morning, the shadow cabinet, everybody, needs to

listen to what the public were saying at the weekend. they are saying at the weekend. they are saying they liked evolution here, they want more of it. the party said labour has lost its emotional connection with its supporters. you talked about _ connection with its supporters. you talked about buses and tracy brabin is promising the same now. in west yorkshire, bringing buses under public control. what does the emotional connection bit mean? this is the thing. — emotional connection bit mean? this is the thing. i — emotional connection bit mean? ti 3 is the thing, i was talking about the left and right on the labour party having this usual war that they do at the weekend. the right were saying it was all the former leader, jeremy corbyn, it was all his fault on the left were saying we didn't have the right policies at the election. i am saying it's deeper than that. there is a loss of emotional connection. particularly in those areas that were previously strongest with regard to labour support. my former constituency, lee or hartlepool, that you mentioned,

it's about authentic connected representation for those people, those communities. building from the bottom up on issues that matter to them. that is what we are showing in greater machester, that is what we are doing with devolution. our council results were better than other parts of the country. why? because i think people can see we are in the communities, we are working with them and building from the bottom up and dealing with things that matter to them. transport, ijust mentioned before, london has a much cheaper public transport system. i have caught a bus this morning and it was £2.50 for a shortjourney, £i more than it costs in london, how can that be right? labourshould be costs in london, how can that be right? labour should be all over that issue, why does public transport cost more in some of the poorest parts of the country? that is wrong and we should challenge it and speak up on issues that affects people in every single day of their working lives. that is what the party has now got to do. fik. strong, party has now got to do. 0k. strong, connected and authentic representation of communities. you

were asked — representation of communities. you were asked at _ representation of communities. you were asked at the weekend about your own ambitions, but wanting to lead labour in the future. i know you hate these kinds of questions. you try to be laid about leader twice before had not succeeded and you actually said in the distance future about the party —— labour leader twice. i am about the party —— labour leader twice. iam here about the party —— labour leader twice. i am here and they should get in touch. why are you being so coy? —— distant future. i do in touch. why are you being so coy? -- distant future.— -- distant future. i do hate these questions. _ -- distant future. i do hate these questions, you're _ -- distant future. i do hate these questions, you're absolutely - -- distant future. i do hate these. questions, you're absolutely right, about that. i'm not being coy, i'm just trying to be honest. i'm not going anywhere, i am in greater machester, i am going anywhere, i am in greater machester, iam here going anywhere, i am in greater machester, i am here at my focus is here and i am getting on with the job here, that's what i'm doing this morning. i will serve a full second term he and i am absolutely humbled the public in greater machester have given me such an endorsement —— second term here. it has been an emotional weekend in that way, 70 people, hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, had given me their support and i own it to them to make changes i would —— so many people. i'm trying to be honest and say, in, i don't know, ten years down the line, if things were to change, and not

going to say i would never consider that because that would be being a politician and talking in code. i'm not going to talk in code. i have tried to lead the labour party twice and if something emerged in the distant future, honestly, i would look at that but i can't see the circumstances right now. i have lost twice! i have tried to be leader twice! i have tried to be leader twice and i have lost twice, there's only so many times you can go through the humiliation of that! my focus is in greater machester, i am getting on with the job this morning and i am so grateful to the public here. we are promising real change this morning that hopefully they will appreciate.— this morning that hopefully they will a- reciate. . ~ ,, , . will appreciate. thank you very much for talkinu will appreciate. thank you very much for talking to — will appreciate. thank you very much for talking to us, _ will appreciate. thank you very much for talking to us, thank _ will appreciate. thank you very much for talking to us, thank you. - will appreciate. thank you very much for talking to us, thank you. andy . for talking to us, thank you. andy burnham, re—elected labour mayor of greater machester. but watch this space, in ten years time! let's speak now to labour mp for liverpool riverside kim johnson. she is also former parliamentary private secretary to angela rayner. you worked very closely with her. how would you describe keir

we have the capacity to twice, we have the capacity to twice... lateral flo twice test everybody in the uk lateral flow twice test everybody in the uk and we have the capacity to surge test in localised areas where we see variants of concern and where we know problems may be rising. so, we have that in our armoury now, which we never had before, but we still need to be cautious. we are incredibly aware that everybody wants to get together. people want to hug each other, people want to entertain in their own homes. my goodness me, we all want to do that. and we understand that. and that's why we have a road map that people can follow and that's why we can see those steps very clearly in front of us. we'll be getting there, we'll be moving along that road map. the prime minister will be announcing this afternoon the next stage, but the important thing is that we are all aware that, as we move into each step of easement, that there may be an increase in the variants or there may be an increase in the virus and our objective is to nail that virus, to make sure that we are never, as a country, in the position

we were last year again and that we move out of this cautiously and safely. and the prime minister will confirm the further easing of coronavirus restrictions in a downing street conference at 5pm tonight. we'll bring that to you live on bbc news. there have been violent clashes outside the al aqsa mosque injerusalem. the palestinian red crescent says more than 180 palestinians have been injured in the violence. it follows weeks of rising tensions and comes ahead of an israeli annual flag parade in the old city. 0ur middle east correspondent, tom bateman, joins us from jerusalem. tom, what's the picture there, this morning? was billed to be a tense day and thatis was billed to be a tense day and that is how it was. let me give you a sense of where we are, this is a

crucial area, you can see the dome of the al aqsa mosque, this is at the very heart ofjerusalem's sensitive religious sites. it is known to jews as temple sensitive religious sites. it is known tojews as temple mount. clashes broke out between israelis and palestinians, many of whom had been inside the mosque overnight. israeli police said there was stonethrowing by palestinians by the western wall. we saw hundreds of stun grenades being used by the israeli police to clear that area. now if i could just take you down here outside the old city walls, one of the lion gate entrances to the muslim western corner, more stun grenades in the last couple of minutes. the palestinians pushed back by the israelis and a car has collided into a pavement barrier and israeli police have released pictures of what happened in the

lead up. it appears the car was being pelted with stones during the clashes with palestinians and it appeared to lose control and crash, hitting somebody who was on the pavement. and a policeman with his revolver was firing the revolver itself and there appeared to be a stand—off and things have calmed down since then. this is an incredibly volatile mix. there have been a number of... the been a number of... interference the concern was that _ been a number of... interference the concern was that things _ been a number of... interference the concern was that things would _ concern was that things would escalate further because of a march by israelis, the flag parade you mentioned, into the old city which palestinians see as a provocation. thank you very much, tom, thank you. the re—elected first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, has told borisjohnson that another vote on scottish independence is inevitable. the snp leader also suggested that she could begin the process as early as next spring. my colleague, annita mcveigh, is outside holyrood this morning.

good morning. good morning and welcome to _ good morning. good morning and welcome to holyrood _ good morning. good morning and welcome to holyrood in _ good morning. good morning and. welcome to holyrood in edinburgh. let's see if they have gone in. a cluster of people are in the background, some of them are new msps are members of the scottish parliament, 20 of them not being sworn in but having their induction and getting to know their new place of work. they will have a challenging few years ahead aren't they, because clearly there is still they, because clearly there is still the job of pandemic recovery to do, first and foremost. but the next phase of the independence question is right there, front and centre. as you mentioned a moment ago, victoria, nicola sturgeon saying yesterday it was a question of when, not if there is going to be another referendum. but also out of the starting blocks today, on the pro union side, former prime minister gordon brown. if you rememberfrom the first independence referendum, he was one of the key figures out there in defence of the union. he is saying that there is around 40% of

the scottish electorate who haven't made up their mind either way and he has a very clear message for boris johnson, as well, in what he has been saying. he is saying to the prime minister that you have to be a prime minister that you have to be a prime minister that you have to be a prime ministerfor the prime minister that you have to be a prime minister for the union, prime minister that you have to be a prime ministerfor the union, not just for unionism. let's hear a little bit more about what gordon brown has been saying. borisjohnson will change his mind on this. his muscular unionism, that's an attempt to sort of put britishness into scotland, that's not going to work very well. project fear will not work. scottish people are very proud indeed. but what he'll come to realise is what i'm suggesting. he will set up a review on the future of the united kingdom, there will be a constitutional review, like kilbrandon 50 years ago. he will set up a permanent forum, in my view, of personal consultation in my view, of consultation between the nations, the regions, and the centre. and he will strive in the end for better cooperation. now, whether he does it too late, i don't know. but these are the decisions that the government will make in the end. that's the patriotic, positive and principled case and i do urge all scots who believe

in this, because we are more scottish than british. in most cases, people would choose scotland as against britain if they had a choice. but people don't want to make that choice. with me now is our political correspondent, nick eardley. gordon brown saying borisjohnson has to be a prime minister who is prounion, notjust pro—unionist. give us your assessment of what he has been saying and for all the talk on both sides of this debate, how ready are they for another referendum? weill. they for another referendum? well, look, i think— they for another referendum? well, look, i think this _ they for another referendum? well, look, i think this is _ they for another referendum? well, look, i think this is going _ they for another referendum? well, look, i think this is going to - they for another referendum? well, look, i think this is going to be a slow_ look, i think this is going to be a slow burner, don't expect frantic activity— slow burner, don't expect frantic activity over another referendum in the next _ activity over another referendum in the next few months. if it does happen, — the next few months. if it does happen, it's not going to happen for at least _ happen, it's not going to happen for at least a _ happen, it's not going to happen for at least a couple of years yet. 0ne at least a couple of years yet. one of the _ at least a couple of years yet. one of the main — at least a couple of years yet. one of the main reasons is that the truth _ of the main reasons is that the truth is — of the main reasons is that the truth is neither side is really ready. — truth is neither side is really ready. at— truth is neither side is really ready, at the moment. what you have heard _ ready, at the moment. what you have heard gordon brown saying is this idea of— heard gordon brown saying is this idea of muscular unionism, putting union— idea of muscular unionism, putting union flags — idea of muscular unionism, putting union flags on things or putting that on— union flags on things or putting that on uk government buildings isn't an— that on uk government buildings isn't an answer and that is a big part— isn't an answer and that is a big part of— isn't an answer and that is a big part of borisjohnson's isn't an answer and that is a big

the legal complexities. interesting to hear professor mcharg say that she thinks it is inevitable and almost certain that this process, the latest phase of the argument will end up in the courts. of course, the other thing to factor into all of this is that all the parties at the scottish parliament will be looking really, really carefully at the public mood. you know, are people ready for an independence referendum, our voters are ready for that? or with everything going on with the pandemic, are they simply not ready to begin that process as well? we will be looking at all of this throughout the day but for now, from holyrood, back to you, victoria. thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello, again. we are looking at a right mixture of sunshine and showers today, some of those showers will be heavy and thundery with the chance of some hail slipping in there, too. now, we've already got some showers, especially in western areas and they will continue to travel east and we will see some home—grown ones in the east, as well. rain moving up into the northern

isles and gusty winds around these showers, particularly across england and wales, gusting up to 40 miles an hour. temperatures 9 to 17. through this evening and overnight, showers are merging across northern ireland, pushing into scotland, where we still have some rain in the north, but largely dry for the rest of the uk and not a cold night, temperatures falling between about 5 and 9 degrees. so, we're not anticipating any issues with frost. low pressure continuing to dominate our weather tomorrow, still, showers rotating around it and notjust tomorrow but into wednesday and the rest of the week, for that matter. it remains unsettled. the forecast is sunshine and showers, but not as blustery as today. hello, good morning, iam victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines.

a shake—up in labour's top team — after the party's disappointing election results in england. labour has got to stop this internal civil war between those on the left of the party and those on the right of the party and those on the right of the party and those on the right of the party. from that point of view, that is pointless and disruptive. the prime minister is expected to confirm the next stage of lockdown easing in england, with indoor hospitality and household mixing set to return next week. nicola sturgeon says the snp's win in the scottish elections means a second independence referendum is a "matter of when, not if". dozens of people have been injured in fresh clashes between israeli police and palestinians injerusalem, ahead of a planned jewish nationalist march. a cyber attack has shut down the largest fuel pipeline in the us. fuel prices are on the rise after the colonial pipeline was completely knocked offline. rail passengers are being warned of yet more disruption after cracks were identified under the carraige of some hitachi class 800 trains.

a whale stranded in the river thames has escaped from rescuers as they tried to take it to safety. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. chelsea marking a stand out season with another trophy lifting the women's super league title for the fourth time. no team has won it more and there could be more silverware to come. it was two goals from fran kirby in a 5—0 win over reading that ended manchester city's hopes of pipping them to the title on the final day. sam kerr added another, golden boot winner this season. with the league cup in the bag, they have a champions league final to prepare for this weekend, and are still in the fa cup. myjob has always been to put them into the position where they can compete for these things. so as i always say to them, when they're sat grey and old, it is going to be these things they talk about.

of course, the shared experience, the friendships, but winning. the way they are going at the moment there will be many more. from those celebrations to those still on ice, manchester city made to wait again for the premier league title. manchester united avoiding the defeat that would have handed it to their rivals. edinson cavani scoring in a 3—1 win over aston villa, the only sour note an injury to harry maguire with the europa league final and euros ahead. united could trim the gap to city to four points with two games to come this week. there would be no great escape for west brom, after losing 3—1 at arsenal, they drop out of the top flight — sam allardyce relegated from the premier league for the first time in his career. unfortunately, without the right victories in the past couple of months, where we have had the opportunity to give ourselves a better chance of survival, we have not taken that. so the inevitable has happened. we have to take it on the chin and we have to look at the season and say to ourselves we have not been quite

good enough. west ham have opened the door to liverpool to finish in the top four. their defeat to everton denting their hopes of a champions league spot next season. elsewhere, wolves beat brighton how about this from lewis hamilton? turning his 100th pole into the 98th win of his career. it wasn't easy at the spanish grand prix with max verstappen overtaking him at the first corner. the world champion hit back thanks to fresher tyres, taking the lead with six laps remaining to extend his lead in the championship. honestly, i love it. i'm really enjoying the battle with him. we are learning a lot about one another and each other�*s cars, i'm sure, in the way we battle. turn one is always exciting between us, so... but there is good respect there and long may it continue. what a tussle it is turning out to

be between the pair. rory mcilroy has that winning feeling again — for the first time in 18 months. this putt saw him win the wells fargo championship by a stroke, in front of a packed i8th green in north carolina. the crowd loved it. as did the northern irishman. it's his first tournament win since november 2019 — and look what it meant to him. when we came back from the pandemic, i thought i'd enjoy the peace and quiet a little bit. i soon realised that to bring the best out of myself i need this. and i feed off the energy so much and maybe here more so than anywhere else, just because i think it is the first place i have won three times. so the crowd have just been awesome all week. harlequins fly half marcus smith reminding warren gatland what he'll be missing on the lions tour scoring two tries in a thrilling win over wasps at the stoop. in a free—scoring game which had 12 tries, man—of—the—match smith got the decisive one to level the scores and then converted it himself for a 48—46 win. he missed out on selection

to the tour of south africa. he was not picked last week. and finally jake cronenworth made a splash with a home run in san francisco. he connected with this pitch playing for the san diego padres against the san francisco giants. and it made it all the way out into the bay where a giants fan very nearly caught it in her kayak. quite the souvenir. and want to keep a hold of. which i'm sure she has done. great pictures. that isjust about it from the bbc sport centre. back to you, victoria. thanks, john. where is that whale? police, fire crews and the rnli have worked through the night to try to free that whale stranded in the river thames in south—west london. the whale, believed to be a baby minke, was spotted in richmond lock on sunday evening — and has since been moved. but resucers now don't know where it is. matt graveling reports.

trying to turn the tide. as the thames recedes, it leaves behind a baby minke whale, grounded in richmond lock. first responders hosed water over its weak body. hours earlier, the whale had first been spotted a few miles upriver, near barnes bridge. but, by 5pm, it was stuck in richmond, sparking a big emergency response and an even bigger crowd. they don't rate its chances too much. i don't know what the tide's like, but there is a lot of shallows, as well. the tide seems up at the moment, but, yes, it is probably going to be a sad outcome, i think. i hope he's going to be ok. it's heartbreaking if you think they're in danger. _ but as day turned to night, the rescue continued. 0n land, the police controlled the crowds. in the water, the fire brigade and rnli looked after the whale. the first thing we knew was the twitter video of the whale coming up underneath i think it was barnes bridge.

at the moment, our main priority, which is what we have just managed to do with the help of the rnli and the fire brigade, is to actually get it on to our rescue pontoons, which will keep it supported in the water and will get it off the ramp it has been lying on. it is just after 11pm and emergency teams below have been working tirelessly for about six hours to save this whale's life. we can see that they have now wrapped it in an inflatable. they are trying to keep water going over its blowhole. we have also been told it is quite badly injured and hasn't been eating very well, so is very weak. and the teams below are also working remotely with a vet, who has been given up—to—date information. it will be this vet who will make a determination on whether it is in the whale's best interest to save its life. but as the tide rushed in, it was the rescuers�* lives in danger, so the decision was made to move the whale. they have taken it to an area where there is no tide,

in a secure area, so they can work on the whale, make sure it's calm and make sure that the best interests are taken for the animal. the whale left to applause for all involved, but a decision is still to be made on whether it is healthy enough to be released back into the sea. matt graveling, bbc news. there's going to be more disruption on long—distance trani routes this week — after 183 high—speed trains were taken out of service for safety checks. let's talk to our business presenter, ben thompson. what's the situation this morning? much the same as over the weekend, victoria. good morning to you. yes, this problem that was identified over the weekend affecting the hitachi class 800 trains. you may know them if you travel on great western railway out of paddington down towards the west of england, but also on lner trains up the east coast of england to scotland. they are most affected. they have the

most of these trains. what they've told passengers again today is not told passengers again today is not to travel. that's because over the weekend they identified a problem, a small crack underneath the train, they have now identified that this is the part that attaches the main coach, the bit we all sit in, to the wheels underneath. they say it isn't a safety risk to passengers but there is a potential danger that something could break off and therefore could cause chaos on the network so they are saying please don't travel once again today. they are offering the usual refunds and coach replacement services if you do need to travel. but there are some fundamental problems here. what the company has said as they will need to assess each of these carriages, just to give you a sense of how many, 183 were taken out of service over the weekend. they have got to look at them, inspect them, and then crucially of course, come up with a fix. i think crucially of course, come up with a fix. ithink it crucially of course, come up with a fix. i think it is fair to say this disruption could last quite a while,

and that's because a lot of trains and that's because a lot of trains and a lot of staff will be on the wrong place because the trains have not been running over the weekend. and now the company has said it has to come up with a fix, work out how to come up with a fix, work out how to solve this problem, and inevitably that will mean taking some services out of action to fix them before they can go back into service. . ~ them before they can go back into service. ., ,, , ., them before they can go back into service. . ~' , ., , them before they can go back into service. ., ,, i. , . �* service. thank you very much, ben. we don't know— service. thank you very much, ben. we don't know quite _ service. thank you very much, ben. we don't know quite how _ service. thank you very much, ben. we don't know quite how long - service. thank you very much, ben. we don't know quite how long thatl we don't know quite how long that disruption will last. thank you, ben thompson, our business presenter. the us government has declared a state of emergency, after a cyber attack on the country's largest fuel pipeline. reports suggest the group responsible is demanding ransom money to restore services. the emergency status will allow fuel to be transported by road instead. detectives have been granted more time to question a man over the murder of a police community support officer in kent. julia james was attacked while walking her dog near her home on april 27th. police have until tonight to question the man, who comes from the canterbury area. 0ur correspondent, simonjones is in kent with the latest.

this is day 14 of the murder investigation. 0fficers arrested a man on friday evening at around 9:30pm, he is in his 20s and from the canterbury area. yesterday lunchtime, police were given more time to question him on an additional 36 hours. that pretty much takes them up to the end of today. at that point the police will have to decide whether to charge him, whether to release him, or whether to ask for a final 24 hours to question him. there's no let—up in the police activity around this area. just down the road from here, officers stand guard outside a house in aylesham. yesterday we saw forensic teams coming and going from the property. they were searching through a skip outside the house. through the garden, they were lifting up paving slabs. police haven't said who this house belongs to but it does form part

of this investigation. now, julia james was killed almost two weeks ago. she'd been working from home that day. she took her dog toby for a walk when she was attacked. she suffered serious head injuries. people in this area still remain concerned. officers are advising them when they go out to make sure they have their phones with them, to make sure they tell someone where exactly they are going and how long they are expected to be gone for. julia james's family say are keeping all fingers crossed just in the hope that there will be some positive developments in this case. simonjones reporting. around nine million adults in the uk can read and write only simple words, but can't do things like reading a medicine label or filling out a job application. bbc radio 5 live is launching a project called word matters in the hope of starting the biggest conversation across the uk about adult literacy in a decade. we can speak now to sarah, a 34—year—old mum of three from dorset, who got into financial

difficulty as a result of not opening her post because she couldn't read it. and vicky duckworth, professor of further education at edge hill university, who specialises in this subject. sarah, thank you for talking to us. tell me how hard it has been being a mum with severe dyslexia. it morning, victoria. it was a real, real struggle to start off with not really knowing what i was getting myself into being on my own flat, not being able to read the mail, and just feeling like the world was caving in on me.— just feeling like the world was caving in on me. take us back to bein: at caving in on me. take us back to being at school. _ caving in on me. take us back to being at school. that's _ caving in on me. take us back to being at school. that's the - caving in on me. take us back to. being at school. that's the origin, isn't it? ~ ., , ., being at school. that's the origin, isn't it? ~ .,, ., ,. , isn't it? when i was at school, they hadn't realised _ isn't it? when i was at school, they hadn't realised how _ isn't it? when i was at school, they hadn't realised how dyslexic - isn't it? when i was at school, they hadn't realised how dyslexic i - isn't it? when i was at school, they hadn't realised how dyslexic i was, | hadn't realised how dyslexic i was, severely dyslexic, i was halfway throughjunior school, severely dyslexic, i was halfway through junior school, just trying to pick up the pieces, and it was a

the showers still rotating around it in an anticlockwise direction. they have been coming in from the south—west pushing north—eastwards and then there's another system waiting in the wings for the south—west for wednesday. you can see the effect on the temperatures, still in this and milder air around the area of low pressure, so temperatures still roughly where they should be at this stage in may. so for tuesday's forecast we start off on a largely dry note, then all the showers come in from the south—west pushing north—eastwards. we've still got some rain across the north. but in between there will be some bright skies, or indeed some sunshine with highs 10—16. moving on through the week, we still have that combination of bright skies, sunshine and showers, but you can see very and showers, but you can see that little system coming on across the south—west, bringing in some more persistent rain across the isles of scilly, the channel islands, devon and cornwall. but there will still be some sunshine to look forward to during the course of wednesday

and temperatures again roughly where they should be at this time of year, 10—16 degrees, north to south. as we head on towards the latter part of this working week, we continue with the unsettled theme. and in fact, we still are looking at sunshine and showers. 0ne change is it won't be quite as windy as it is going to be at the start of the week and temperatures slipping slightly.
