india, so far hospitals have not seen a spike in admissions. trust leaders and some of england's worst affected area so most coba patients are unvaccinated, either because they are younger or not been invited for a job or have not taken up the offer —— covid. a clear sign they say that the vaccines are working. but nhs providers wants wonderful warns hospitals are under pressure with trusts working flat out to reduce record waiting lists for nonurgent operations and there has also been an increase in demand for urgent care, doctors thinking significant numbers of patients putting off treatment and now require more complex care and longer stays. some trust in holiday areas also worry an influx of tourists believe them struggling to cope, and chief executive on the south coast saying:

ahead of any decision to lift the remaining legal restrictions in england onjune 21, nhs providers wants the government to lead an informed debate on the things that need to be done, by vaccines are helping to break the link between infection, serious illness and death, there are still many more people to vaccinate. katharine da costa, bbc news. the prime minister borisjohnson has married his fiancee carrie symonds in a secret ceremony at westminster cathedral, it's been reported. the wedding was held in front of close friends and family yesterday, according to several newspapers — although downing street has declined to comment. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. borisjohnson boris johnson and carrie borisjohnson and carrie symons with the first unmarried couple to live together in downing street. he had first been publicly linked by the media in early 2019. by the end of the year they were engaged. they did not announce it until the following february, when carrie symons posted

the news on instagram. at the same time as announcing they were expecting their first child together full wilfred was born in april last year. there have been lots of speculation about when and how the couple would get married. in the end of the secret ceremony at westminster took almost everyone by surprise. downing street has declined to comment. an unusual position but one that chimes with the prime minister's long—standing wish to keep his personal life private. mrjohnson�*s divorce from his second wife marina wheeler was finalised last year, making him the first prime minister in centuries to divorce and remarry while in office. helen catt, bbc news. the situation in the democratic republic of congo remains "serious but under control", according to the country's president, a week after a devastating volcanic eruption. hundreds of thousands of people fled the city of goma as mount nyiragongo erupted. yesterday, the government mistakenly announced a second eruption was imminent, causing more panic and evacuations.

a new nationalflagship is to be commissioned by the government in a bid to boost british trade and industry overseas, the prime minister has said. the royal navy vessel, which will cost a reported £200 million and be in service for 30 years, would be used to host trade fairs and diplomatic meetings. it will be the successor to the royal yacht britannia, which was retired in 1997. those are the main story at eight minutes past six. we are going to colombia next. the colombian government has deployed 7000 troops across some of its major towns and cities in a bid to end two months of deadly protests and riots. demonstrators have vowed to march on the streets of the capital city bogota today as they continue their stand against poverty, police violence and tax rises. 0ur latin america correspondent will grant reports. colombia is no stranger to violence.

but these scenes have shocked the nation. two months after the protests began, they are showing no sign of letting up. what started as an outpouring of anger over a proposed tax hike has now exploded into edged battles and several major cities. the epicentre of the anti—government protests is cali, a city which suffers from all of colombia's social ills, from poverty to cartels. every day, peaceful protests descend into burning barricades and stonethrowing. the authorities responding tear gas and live rounds. the latest incident to enrage demonstrators was the site of civilian gunmen shooting at protesters with the police. the president event uk announced the deployment of some 7000 military personnel around the country. ==

morning, all! a beautiful couple of days awaits, i have to say with warm and sunny conditions, more sunshine around in to yesterday, very nice indeed. high pressure is with us. there are some issues first thing in the morning. quite a lot of low clouds drifting in off the north sea and some fog around, i was driving in through fairly misty, murky conditions. it may welljust linger in a few places as we go through the day but the emphasis is with the dry, sunny and quite warm. we could keepin dry, sunny and quite warm. we could keep in cloud in the northern isles with 10 degrees but generally through scotland, sheltered western areas where we see the best of the sunshine will have highs of 22. northern ireland had the namaste of the year so far and similar today and temperatures in the south—east could be 22 or 23. that's 73 fahrenheit. it'sjust could be 22 or 23. that's 73 fahrenheit. it's just above the average for the time of year. through the evening, we will continue to see dry weather, a great

evening for a barbecue, i suspect. cloud pushing in off the north sea as we go through the night but keep temperatures around double digits for many so it means it will be relatively mild to start monday. the wind direction changing a little, dragging in even warmer air so i suspect monday and tuesday look likely to be the best days in terms of the warmth, if that's what you like. a good deal of dry weather in the forecast, as you can see. some fair weather cloud developing perhaps in the afternoon but not amounting to two march, 23, 20 four celsius, 1075 f, to close out the month of may. the beginning ofjune as well will not be too disappointing with the case of spot the difference. wendy of dry and sunny weather and this weather front in the west should not cause too much of an issue, be a little more cloud spilling into the western isles but generally fine and dry. 25 not out of the question for the

beginning ofjune, 77 fahrenheit. likely that tuesday could well be the peak of the heat. somewhere weather fronts are threatening on the south—west during wednesday. a lot of uncertainty just when those fronts are going to arrive and how much rain they are going to bring we could see a few sharp, thundery downpours developing really from wednesday onwards, and once the front clears through, things get a little bit more comfortable if you don't like the heat with temperatures down to the high teens, low 20s. , ., ., .., ., ., low 20s. there you go. i cannot wait to have a glass _ low 20s. there you go. i cannot wait to have a glass of— low 20s. there you go. i cannot wait to have a glass of something - low 20s. there you go. i cannot wait to have a glass of something cold i low 20s. there you go. i cannot wait i to have a glass of something cold on my balcony tomorrow morning. i already know what i'm going to have. what time do you want me? you already know what i'm going to have. what time do you want me?- what time do you want me? you are welcome anytime. _ what time do you want me? you are welcome anytime. and _ what time do you want me? you are welcome anytime. and a _ what time do you want me? you are welcome anytime. and a bowl- what time do you want me? you are welcome anytime. and a bowl of- welcome anytime. and a bowl of crisps. nothing like a nice glass of orangejuice in the morning? is that? if you managed to get out and enjoy the sunshine yesterday, we'd love to see your pictures. you can email bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk or tweet us using the hashtag #bbcbreakfast. we'll show some of them later in the programme. let's take a look at some of today's papers. many of the front pages feature the wedding of borisjohnson

and carrie symonds, with the mail on sunday pointing out it's the first time a sitting prime minister has got married while in office since 1822. no photographs yet of the wedding dress, i think that is what many will want to see.— dress, i think that is what many will want to see. with pointing out the pictures _ will want to see. with pointing out the pictures on — will want to see. with pointing out the pictures on the _ will want to see. with pointing out the pictures on the front _ will want to see. with pointing out the pictures on the front pages - will want to see. with pointing out| the pictures on the front pages are library photographs, not actually of the wedding. the sunday telegraph reports that even senior downing street aides were kept in the dark about the ceremony at westminster cathedral. but there were photographs of some of the guests coming out of downing street so there may be some suspicion there. the sunday times points out that the wedding came just days after the couple sent out their save the date cards forjuly of next year. and chelsea's champions league win dominates the sports pages, with the sunday express featuring kai havertz celebrating his first—half goal, which was the only one of the match.

are a very small club, we are very well—run club, we have a wicked matthew benham, we have great directors of football, phil giles, they have done great work on getting us to this position so that we can compete against the top teams in the championship. now the top teams in the premier league. they have got plans, they have had plans for years as to how we're going to do it, and the fact is that we do things differently. you know, i'm not going to go into the whole thing about how you statistics on we do all that stuff, because it sounds very mathematical. this is a magical moment for football mathematical. this is a magical moment forfootball fans, a mathematical. this is a magical moment for football fans, a small club like brentford, i used to see them playing accrington and stanley are going to wrexham in places like that, it was wicked, i love that. all of a sudden we are going to be going to manchester city and arsenal chelsea. and the way we do our business, i think we're going surprise a few people. because we pluck out a rough jewels surprise a few people. because we pluck out a roughjewels nobody has ever heard of and then we kind of get them to that next level, and normally we have to sell those players off and then we buy another

question now, is he was going to clean it up? —— who is going. astonishing, and the smell, apparently! time for a longer watch now. earlier this week, we reported on the hundreds of unmarried british women who were forced into handing over their newborn babies for adoption in the 19505, '60s and '705. they're now campaigning for an apology from the government. duncan kennedy has been following their long and painful search for justice. his film contains details which you may find upsetting. i loved her so much — i still love her. i'm her mum! it was to be a secret.

it was — it was not to be discussed. i was — i was mourningi for a child that i'd lost. i canjust remember lying there, thinking it'd be better to die. a historical injustice is what happened to us. other countries have recognised it, and it's high time ours did. everyone was saying, i "if you love your baby, you will give him up".

the undiluted joy of a new baby. the parental bond that forms after birth is a foundation of our human existence. but what if the mother was pressured, even coerced, into giving up her baby for adoption, just because she was not married ? i couldn't even imagine her. i think the heartbreak would just be, you would never recover. , i couldn't even imagine it. the love is just immediate, isn't it? you couldn't recover from that ever. bells toll. 60 years ago, british society was very different. the bride's name is stella. she's 19, lives in barnet... marriages like this one were the cornerstone of respectability. for others, having a baby outside of wedlock would be breaking one

of the most potent taboos. till death us do part. according to god's holy law. but what if you did become pregnant before you married? i was really, really scared, and ijust blotted the whole thing out because, apparently, that's what teenagers do. diana was 16 when she became pregnant. soon after, she met a social worker who made it clear what was to come. she spent a lot of time telling me things along the lines of, "you will do the best thing, this is your only option. you will give your child to a proper mummy and daddy,

because you can't possibly be a parent to your child. you can't — you're not — you're not fit to be a mother." the scene is a big gay holiday camp at butlin's... i was working in butlin'si holiday camp in bognor. i was going out withl one of the red coats. we became intimate and i got pregnant. i veronica was also unmarried. my mother didn't tell my father, i because she said it would kill him. so he never knew? no. ever? never. it was regarded as so shameful that veronica was secretly sent to a mother and baby home in another part of london. she and her mother had to create

a story to explain her disappearance to her father. i used to meet my mother at wimbledon station i and she would come with airmail- paper and envelope, and we'd concoct this letter that i was having a — i working away from home in spain and that i was having a good time, that i would be home soon, - and take it back to my father — obviously took it out _ of the envelope — and, bless him, he just- felt — thought it was true. thought you were away? yeah. this was in 1967, i was 16. i met my boyfriend and then i became pregnant.

gill killington had been in a steady relationship, but everyone, from her parents to her doctor, made it clear she had done wrong. it was the most shameful thing that could happen. you know, it was described as a fate worse than death, to be unmarried and pregnant. some individuals may have embraced sexual liberation in the 1960s, but society wasn't so ready. i was 18. i don't think i wanted to believe that i was pregnant for a long time. judy baker was also unwed, and also met a social worker. she almost immediately suggested adoption to me. certainly, there wouldn't have been any idea in my head,

i don't think, before that. and she presented it to me, as far as i can remember, as this wonderful opportunity, almost, to give my baby a loving home that i could not give her. so that was the start of me being indoctrinated, if you like. the pressure on unmarried women to give up their babies for adoption took hold in the 19505 and coincided with the growing demand for babies from childless couples in post—war britain. the shamejudy felt was so great, she too went to extreme lengths to explain her pregnancy. ijust invented a husband. i bought a wedding ring. when i was asked by the girls i worked with what his name was, i told them that his surname

was the same as mine because i didn't want anybody to know that i was not married and that my child was going to be illegitimate. this, ladies and gentlemen, is london... by 1968, around 16,000 illegitimate babies a year were being put up for adoption in england and wales. we were asked to prepare for the baby... but thousands of those women, including anne, wanted to keep their babies. yet everyone, from baby homes to social workers to doctors, midwives and nurses, made them feel like they had no choice but to give them up. it was coercion. the phrase was, "this will be for the best. this will be the best for the baby. this will be the best for you. because if you really love this

baby, you will make sure that he has a different life, and not with you, and that the best thing to do is to give him up." tonight's debate is about the abolition of discrimination... in later life, anne would become an mp and junior health minister. but as a teenager in a maternity hospital, even at the moment of delivery, she says a midwife denied her pain relief on purpose. when i asked for help, i wasn't given any help for pain. in fact, i was told — i remember — "you will remember this, so as you won't be wicked again, you bad girl. you won't be wicked again." and so, it — that was really, really difficult. i was 17 years old, so this was

1963, and ifound myself pregnant. pat tugwell was also unmarried when she went to give birth to her son. she, too, faced the same hostility from nurses. the place that i was really made to feel dreadful was when i went into the hospital to have him. and i remember that the nursing staff in there were not very nice and very abusive to me. i remember one particular nurse who seemed to enjoy being quite rough when she examined me. and i remember saying to me, "oh, how did you get like this if you don't like somebody doing this to you?" you know, it was really quite abusive. they were quite abusive. it was horrid, that really sort of hurt me, in a way. i was a human being — why could i not have been accepted for that? all i had done was i was having a baby.

i had made a mistake, that was it, but i was still a human being. 16—year—old diana defries faced an equally cruel experience in the delivery room. somebody said, "it's a girl". she said, "this baby is flagged for adoption. i'm — i'll take heraway." and i can remember yelling and saying, "please bring her back! bring her back!" everybody left, and i was lying there on my own, on this thing, covered with a sheet and crying for a baby that i couldn't reach. —— covered with a sheet and a crying baby that i couldn't reach. and they left me there for four hours. i canjust remember lying there, thinking it'd be better to die. but i didn't die.

but the trauma that thousands of unmarried women faced during the birth of their children was not the end of their experience. and then the letter came. new mothers likejudy baker were informed when to travel to the adoption centre and to sign the consent form. take us to the day of the handover, when you passed your baby daughter on to the authorities. how difficult a day was that? she was asleep. she never woke up. and they took her from me and gave her to the people who were waiting in the next room to adopt her. and that was it.

how could that have happened to me? but my mum was waiting for me downstairs. and we went shopping. we went shopping! i loved her so much — i still love her. i'm her mum! anne wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to her baby when he was taken away by a midwife. i went to collect him from the nursery, and he was not there. she said, "he's gone." "i'll tell you where he is — he's in that room over there, in that building over there."

"his new mummy will come for him, and she will be very happy, and they will both be very happy, and that's the last you will see of him." "you can come with me into the bathroom, because i need to put you in the bath, and let's get rid of this milk." six weeks later, anne received a letter informing her that he would grow up in a happy and secure atmosphere with no stigma of illegitimacy. the coldness of handover was also what pat went through. on that morning, i had to dress him in the best clothes i had for him i and put him into a carry cot, - and then i had to take him into one of the rooms and just i leave him on the floor, and then turn around and walk away. he was taken away from me just. after that, and i knew i was never going to see him again.

i knew i would never see him again. that was it. diana is still haunted by the moment she last saw her baby. i was holding her right up until the point when a woman in a white coat came out and said it's time. the woman spun around and said, "say bye—bye." interestingly, as i started to buckle, my daughter started to howl, and she cried all the way out of the room. i remember that noise. academic studies point to hundreds of thousands of unmarried mothers in britain being pressured to hand over their babies in the three decades after the second world war. but it wasn'tjust the birth mothers

left with an agonising sense of loss. so too were many of their children. i had an identity forced upon me. left me with a sense of not belonging, not really knowing who i was. i feel like i just wasn't the person i was meant to be. i was somebody else. jan was born in 1960 to an 18—year—old unmarried mother. the adoption didn't go well. i had no love whatsoever. i'm angry, i'm angry for the system allowing me to be given to those people. i'm angry for the trauma and pain caused to my birth mother. i'm angry that all of this has impacted on my life, my relationships. it's lifelong, it continues

throughout your life, i'm angry for the trauma and pain caused to my birth mother. i'm angry that all of this has impacted on my life, my relationships. it's lifelong, it continues throughout your life, and that is whether you have a really good adaptive family or not. the humiliation inflicted on the unmarried mothers and their babies can even be found in documents from the time. 0ne official wrote on an adoption paper, "the baby is beautiful,

unlike its mother. " i was born in 1963 in a mother and baby home in northampton. it was always made obvious that it was not something that you talked about. gaynor also came to resent being adopted. although now happily married with her own children, the stigma of being the child of an unmarried mother has stayed with her. in your life, you think of the words "secrets and lies", so you keep it secret from a lot of people, so it's a bit like you're not living the right life. what would you have wished for? to have stayed with my mum. to have been allowed to be kept by the woman that gave birth to me. ok, she was only a girl, but she was still with my dad.

if they would have had support and help, you know, i should have stayed with them. gaynor�*s mother, like all the birth mothers, supposedly had to give their consent to have their babies adopted, but some mothers now question whether they even signed a consent form. those doubts were reflected in this document from an adoption hearing, when the judge himself said he was doubtful about the validity of the justice of the peace's signatures on the consent form. but some adoptions did work. i was lucky, i had really good parents. i was lucky, but what about everyone else?

rachel moved to canada and into a loving home but still feels her birth mother suffered an appalling injustice, having been forced to give her up. it's terrible. it's almost inhumane what happened to her. i feel terrible empathy, you know, and sorrow for her. it's terrible. but you certainly should apologise for any heinous things that you have done. an apology is at the heart of this story. because you know the sorrow and suffering of forced adoption. eight years ago, that is exactly what 150,000 australian women received when their horrific stories of forced adoption came to light. today, this parliament, on behalf of the australian people,

takes responsibility and apologises for the policies and practices that force of the separation of mothers from their babies. it was the world's first official apology for forced adoptions. since then, the government in flanders has apologised, and the senate in canada has recommended an apology. young mothers and their sons i and daughters were forced to pay a terrible price. earlier this year, the irish government apologised to former residents of mother and baby homes for the way that they were treated over many decades. i apologise for the profound generational wrong visited i upon irish mothers and their- children who ended up in a mother and baby home or a county home. now the birth mothers in britain have sent this letter to the prime minister borisjohnson, asking the government here to say sorry.

a historical injustice is what happened to us. other countries have recognised it, and it is high time ours did. it is about me and many mothers like me feeling like i did not give him up. i did not abandon him. so, therefore, the apology is to clear almost my name and my son's name, that he was not given away. i feel very bitter, and i do feel resentful, yes. it is something that should not have happened. i have often thought about the way i have been with babies. "no good cuddling a baby — they get taken away from you." did you give up your baby, give away your baby?

no, she was quite literally taken away from me. i didn't feel entitled to fight, because i felt that i was worthless. everything i went through left me with a sense of complete and utter worthlessness. i felt as if i didn't deserve anything, i had no right to ask for anything i wanted. adoption has always been there, there's always been that nagging feeling of loss, guilt, shame, anger. well, it would be very. good if somebody said, "i'm sorry." but it would be so good to give i permission to all those thousands of women and children who have suffered so much over the years|

without a voice, it would be i so helpful to show people that what happened to us was wrong. they told me i would i forget and i would go on, and i could have other children. but i neverdid. why would you when you think that you have given your child away? i why would you think that you deserve to have other children? _ what have you missed out on? well, being a mum. i've got stepchildren now, but i do not know how to mother. i don't know how to, because i haven't done it. it is notjust me,

it is thousands of women. and it was so wrong.

chelsea fans are celebrating the biggest prize in european club football for a second time after their team beat manchester city in the champions league final in portugal. more than 16,000 supporters were allowed into the stadium in porto. the host city, you might remember, was changed from istanbul because of covid restrictions. laura scott was there. nine years on from their first taste of european glory, chelsea crowned champions once again. but on a frenetic night in porto, they had to keep fighting right to the wire. on paper, manchester city were all—out attack, but their best early opportunity was thwarted by a perfectly timed challenge from antonio rudiger. goalless after a frenzied first a0 minutes, and then this — chelsea's most expensive player of all time, kai havertz, securing the all—importa nt breakthrough. commentator: ..in the champions league final! | cue elation on the pitch, from the stands and many more back home! cheering.

after the break, city's pain worsened after a nasty clash ended kevin de bruyne's night early. city still threw everything at it and came close to levelling in the dying seconds. but when riyad mahrez�*s shot went agonisingly wide, that was it. back home, it was heartbreak for those in manchester. and joy down in west london. all sing. champions of europe! that's who we are! champions of europe?! it's been brilliant, absolutely — look! look! it's brought us all back together. champions! in porto, there'll be contrasting emotions felt by fans as they start to make their way home. for chelsea supporters, the logistics and expense of the numerous covid tests and hiked—up flight and hotel costs has all been worthwhile. # champions! # champions of europe! we're exhausted but we're overjoyed.

we're just delighted. manchester city were denied the biggest honour that had so far eluded them. instead, in this third all—english champions league final, it was to be chelsea's night and the celebrations were in full flow. laura scott, bbc news, porto. well done, chelsea. the group that represents nhs trusts in england says hospitals in holiday hotspots will struggle to cope with the extra demand caused by increased domestic tourism this summer. nhs providers say that while covid admissions are nowhere near their peak, hospitals are dealing with a backlog of cases and a rise in demand for urgent care. 0ur health correspondent katharine da costa has the details. london's twickenham stadium, now a surge vaccination centre ready to deliver 15,000 doses on bank holiday monday as the extra push to vaccinate as many people as possible continues. but despite the more infectious variant first detected in india,

so far, hospitals have not seen a spike in admissions. trust leaders in some of england's worst affected areas say most covid patients are unvaccinated, either because they are younger and not yet been invited for a jab, or haven't taken up the offer — a clear sign, they say, that the vaccines are working. but nhs providers warns hospitals are under pressure with trusts working flat out to reduce record waiting lists for non—urgent operations. there's also been an increase in demand for urgent care. doctors think significant numbers of patients have been putting off seeking treatment and now require more complex care and longer stays. some trusts in holiday areas also worry an influx of tourists will leave them struggling to cope. 0ne chief executive on the south coast said: ahead of any decision to lift

the remaining legal restrictions in england onjune 21, nhs providers wants the government to lead an informed debate on the trade—offs that need to be made. it points out that while vaccines are helping to break the link between infection, serious illness and death, there are still many more people to vaccinate. katharine da costa, bbc news. now, the story on today's front pages. the prime minister borisjohnson has married his fiancee carrie symonds in a secret ceremony at westminster cathedral. the wedding was held in front of close friends and family yesterday, according to several newspapers — although downing street has declined to comment. 0ur political correspondent helen catt has more. borisjohnson and carrie symonds were the first unmarried couple to live together in downing street. they'd first been publicly linked by the media in early 2019. by the end of that year, they were engaged, although they did not announce it until the following february, when carrie symonds posted

the news on instagram, at the same time as announcing they were expecting their first child together. wilfred was born in april last year. there had been lots of speculation about when and how the couple would get married. in the end, the reportedly secret ceremony at westminster catholic cathedral took almost everyone by surprise. downing street has declined to comment — an unusual position, but one that chimes with the prime minister's long—standing wish to keep his personal life private. mrjohnson's divorce from his second wife marina wheeler was finalised last year, making him the first prime minister in centuries to divorce and remarry while in office. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. the situation in the democratic republic of congo remains "serious but under control", according to the country's president a week after a devastating volcanic eruption. dozens of people have died and a00,000 were displaced after mount nyiragongo erupted.

a false alarm of further eruptions yesterday caused more panic. 0ur correspondent emery makumeno joins us from the city of goma. is the situation actually really under control? the vision coming out was very striking last week of the eruption. was very striking last week of the eru tion. ~ , ., ., was very striking last week of the erution. ~ , ., ., , eruption. well, the situation is under control, _ eruption. well, the situation is under control, as _ eruption. well, the situation is under control, as you - eruption. well, the situation is under control, as you said, i eruption. well, the situation isi under control, as you said, the president said yesterday. here we still have numerous tremors happening from time to time. though, as we speak now, it has been reduced in intensity and infrequency. but before he was adamant that second eruptions are still possible because the earthquakes that have been happening are more than 100, and they have provoked the cracks on the ground and some walls and destroyed some houses and that is the danger because from these cracks, they are

saying there are is a huge quantity of magma underneath goma and it could surface either on the ground and destroy many more houses and most dangerously, if eruption happens under the lake here, like kivu, underneath it, it could be devastating because the lake is high concentration of methane gas so authorities he evacuated about —— authorities he evacuated about —— authorities he evacuated many districts of goma and the first day alone there were about a00 people evacuating from goma and a few are coming back but officials have not cleared the ground for people to come back yet. emery makumeno, thanks. it is eight minutes past seven, the weather with louise in a moment. let's return now to the huge pressures facing nhs hospitals over the next few months —

notjust from covid cases, but an influx of patients who have been putting up with other illnesses during the pandemic. chris hopson, who represents nhs trusts in england, has also said that domestic tourism will place even more demand on hospitals in popular holiday hotspots. hejoins us now from north london. chris, thank you for coming on this morning. first of all, before we get to the nitty—gritty of the story, can you explain what it is like in hospitals at the moment? we hear stories about some, one in bolton for example, feeling overwhelmed and short of supplies. is that what you were witnessing? i short of supplies. is that what you were witnessing?— short of supplies. is that what you were witnessing? i think we should robabl were witnessing? i think we should probably concentrate _ were witnessing? i think we should probably concentrate first - probably concentrate first on the hospitals in the hot spot areas and what i think is the good and important news from those areas is actually, the levels of hospital admissions we are seeing in those trusts is a lot lower than it was in the previous peaks in november, january and february and even going back to last year. one trust i spoke

to yesterday said they had around a7 admissions compared to a9 yesterday so the number is coming down. what they were saying is that compares to they were saying is that compares to the 150, 160 they had in november and january, february last year. what is particularly interesting is that the admissions are from younger people so less need for critical care and also what is particularly interesting is there are very, very few people who have had the double doses of vaccination so what's really clear is that those vaccinations are working really effectively and the message could not be clearer, which is if you are eligible for your vaccination, please get it and get the double dose as quickly as you possibly can because it is clearly providing a level of protection, including against this new variant that originated in india. that is the good news. the pressure is coming from the fact that there is three things going on at once at the

moment. these big care backlogs that we are trying to get through as quickly as possible and we are tackling the most complex cases to start and it means those patients need to have overnight stays and, because they are difficult cases. the second is we think there are significant numbers of people who have put off coming into hospital and actually have now reached the stage where they must come in and get treatment, but because they have left it so long, it means that the treatment required will take longer and its more complex. the third bit is yes, in those areas where we are seeing an text, a small optic, in covid—19 pressures, it is adding to the pressure as well. ——up tick. it is an interesting story that it is not as pressured in terms of admissions from covid as it has been in the past but for other reasons hospitals are very busy. so in the past but for other reasons hospitals are very busy. 50 a hospitals are very busy. so a cocktail of — hospitals are very busy. so a cocktail of challenges, i hospitals are very busy. so a cocktail of challenges, if i hospitals are very busy. so a cocktail of challenges, if you i hospitals are very busy. so a cocktail of challenges, if you like. you touched on the patients coming from a younger demographic. what

challenges do they present because if they have covid and are in their 20s or 30s, are there particular challenges facing those groups? ida. challenges facing those groups? no, what is challenges facing those groups? ijrr, what is interesting is when you talk to the chief executives, they say what is particularly striking is there a lower levels of need in terms of critical care and whereas before, you had much older people and you will more clinically vulnerable. do not put too fine a point on it, you are finding much higher mortality rates but finding people needing more critical care. the bit we must not forget, sima, and it is important and to be frank we don't really know exactly what the long—term consequences are. we must remember that we should not just focus on mortality rates because we know there are large numbers of people, including younger people, who end up with either long covid and we still have not fully understood exactly what the long—term impacts on health. of catching covid—19. so while it is

great news that the vaccinations are working and i think it sends us one message in terms of opening up on june 21 in terms of relaxing the doctor measures, what we must not forget is there are still lots of people who need to be vaccinated —— relaxing the lockdown measures. and we know this indian variant is more transmissible so there will be a really difficult decision about how much we open up how quickly and that is why we are calling really clearly this morning for let's have the best possible quality of debate about what the trade—offs here are because let's try, if i may be so bold, to have a better quality, evidence—based debate about how quickly we should ease the lockdown measures and perhaps we have had in previous phases. measures and perhaps we have had in previous phases-— previous phases. chris, there is a lot of attention _ previous phases. chris, there is a lot of attention obviously - previous phases. chris, there is a lot of attention obviously on i previous phases. chris, there is a lot of attention obviously on the i lot of attention obviously on the zist lot of attention obviously on the 21st ofjune and from what you have said, there are various things that scientists and medics like yourself will be looking at. what is your

take on the lifting of restrictions? is it too soon to make that prediction?— is it too soon to make that rediction? , , , prediction? on the plus side, we know the vaccinations _ prediction? on the plus side, we know the vaccinations are - prediction? on the plus side, we know the vaccinations are really| know the vaccinations are really working, hospitalisations, the number of people coming into hospital with covid is lower than january and february and previous phases. we also know that people tend to be younger and therefore there is less need for critical care but on the other side, and this is where the risk is, we know this variant is much, much more transmissible and we know that there are lots of people who still need a vaccination so there is a set of really difficult trade—offs that need to be made here and that's why we need a really good, high—quality debate about how quickly should be open up on the 21st ofjune. ichris. open up on the 21st ofjune. chris, how concerned _ open up on the 21st ofjune. chris, how concerned are _ open up on the 21st ofjune. chris, how concerned are you _ open up on the 21st ofjune. chris, how concerned are you about i open up on the 21st ofjune. chris, \ how concerned are you about bank holiday weekend? we know the motorways have been manic, we saw the vision on the news on friday, traffic up and down the country. are

you concerned that this could exacerbate the covid situation? what exacerbate the covid situation? what we know is that _ exacerbate the covid situation? what we know is that trusts _ exacerbate the covid situation? unfit we know is that trusts who exacerbate the covid situation? wuat we know is that trusts who are in holiday areas tell us that in the summer, they do tend to get a significant spike of demand and what they are saying to us is that they are already very busy for the reasons i've explained in terms of getting through these care backlogs, higher levels of demand with more seriously ill patients on the emergency, looking for emergency care, and what they are really worried about is we know over the next few months there will be many, many more staycation is because we have much more restricted foreign travel so what those trusts are saying to us is if we have 96% and 97% of our beds occupied, if we are already very full, they are nervous about how, over the next few months, if we get lots of people who go to holiday destinations right the way across the country, norfolk, the lake district, the south coast, cornwall, they are worried about the

extra degree of pressure it will bring and that does need to be factored into the calculations about what happens next so it's just particularly interesting that lots of hospitals are saying they are busier than they expected to be. it's not so much covid—19 driven, it is the fact we are trying to get through those backlogs and the pressure that is on the emergency care pathway is people who have put off coming in for treatment are now coming in and they are really quite ill and they needed mission and they need complex treatment. i was speaking to one of our view is just yesterday, who said, is there any point in wearing a mask? i have had both myjabs, ijust want to be able to roam freely. had both my jabs, i 'ust want to be able to roam freely.— had both my jabs, i 'ust want to be able to roam freely. what would you sa to able to roam freely. what would you say to those — able to roam freely. what would you say to those people? _ able to roam freely. what would you say to those people? the _ able to roam freely. what would you say to those people? the evidence l able to roam freely. what would you | say to those people? the evidence is very clear, which is that of the vaccinations provide really high levels of protection they don't provide 100% protection. so on the principle that we all have a responsibility to look after

ourselves, look after our loved ones, look after the people whom we live within our street and when we go to the local shop, i am very clear, we are very clear, people should continue to wear masks because we know that that is the way in which this dreadful virus is transmitted. so, you know, that vaccinations are great and they are working well but we still have a personal responsibility to do what we can to protect each other, because the reality is that this will be with us for quite a long time to come.— will be with us for quite a long time to come. chris, some really aood ti -s time to come. chris, some really good tips and _ time to come. chris, some really good tips and advice. _ time to come. chris, some really good tips and advice. thanks - time to come. chris, some really good tips and advice. thanks so l good tips and advice. thanks so much. here's louise with a look at the weather. it seems to be playing ball? i know! i was working ten days ago and i was so excited i was going,

the bank holiday weekend is going to be great, and people in the office were going, just be careful, everybody is so desperate for some dry and sunny weather at the moment, aren't they? that said, there is actually quite a loss of fog and mist around at the moment. it is making for some amazing weather watcher pictures. look at cumbria earlier on. and as you can see, across parts of newry morn earlier on. and as you can see, across parts of newry mom and down, it is a fantastic start, you can see the sunshine waiting in the wings which will burn it away as it lifts up which will burn it away as it lifts up in the sky. some of that fog is quite dense across north—eastern scotland and north—east england as well. that might take its time and it might have an impact on the temperatures in the day. but the sunshine is strong and we are very optimistic it is going to burn it mist and low cloud back to the ground, and in the afternoon it will all be about the sunshine at high temperatures. even in western scotland we could see highs of 22, maybe 21 in northern ireland. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far. across england and wales, a bit cool on that north sea coast, 16 or 17 where the cloud

lingers but also we could see 21 or 22 as an afternoon high. that is very nice indeed. we keep the clear skies and the sunshine for much of us through the evening, for barbecues and spending time outside in the garden with your friends and family. the low cloud, the mist and merc, is set to return through the night, particularly in sheltered eastern areas, further west we keep somewhat that we keep those temperatures around nine or 10 degrees. we start off on monday in another decent day, a bit more of a breeze, but a south—easterly direction, so that is going to drive in warmerair. it direction, so that is going to drive in warmer air. it will be a bit windier but it is actually going to be warm and the uv is going to be higher, generally, across the country. if you are out for any length of time please bear that in mind as we are likely to see those temperatures speaking on monday afternoon, 23 or 2a degrees. that is the mid 70s fahrenheit. we say goodbye to me, so we got there in the end, a bit of a crescendo for the end, a bit of a crescendo for the weather. the first day ofjune

is almost a repeat performance. lots of dry unsettled weather in the forecast. a weather front waiting in the rings but we're not too concerned about that at the moment. the temperatures on tuesday could peak at 25 degrees, that is 77 fahrenheit. if that is getting up to being too warm and too uncomfortable for you, unfortunately we could see things come to a bit of a sharpened thundery and as fifth weatherford moves in from the south—west, introducing the risk of some showers. lots of uncertainty as to just wear that will sit on how quickly it is going to arrive, but there is a potential, wednesday into thursday, of a showery breakdown. that said, for many of us they will still be lots of dry weather but just perhaps not quite as warm. see, we believe everything you are saying. if you had cold this ten days ago for a nice bank holiday weekend that would be warm, none of your colleagues would believe you... i tell you, as many times as i get it right, i can assure you that sometimes i get it wrong. it is not a science. — sometimes i get it wrong. it is not a science. it _ sometimes i get it wrong. it is not a science, it is _ sometimes i get it wrong. it is not

in the programme. we know that walking and cycling has soared in popularity during the pandemic but there's another mode of transport which has been making a splash — canoeing. the number of people wanting pick up a paddle has increased by nearly two—thirds in the last year, according to british canoeing. matt graveling has been to the river to find out more. believe me, my young friend. there is nothing, absolutely nothing half so much worth is doing is simply messing about in boats. a quote from a right to a mole in the wind of the willows. 160 years later, during a global pandemic, it is as true as ever before. global pandemic, it is as true as ever before-— global pandemic, it is as true as ever before. , ., , ., , ever before. the shores of the terms were 'ust ever before. the shores of the terms were just thronged _ ever before. the shores of the terms were just thronged with _ ever before. the shores of the terms were just thronged with people. - ever before. the shores of the terms were just thronged with people. it i were just thronged with people. it was hard to find any space to be. i think peoplejust needed was hard to find any space to be. i think people just needed to be mental uplift of being outdoors. i am in the water for times a week, i was seeing — am in the water for times a week, i was seeing more and more people coming _ was seeing more and more people

love stoke- _ it's now more than a week since the publication of an inquiry into how martin bashir landed his bbc panorama interview with diana princess of wales in 1995, and how the bbc�*s own investigation was "woefully ineffective", but the fallout continues. the inquiry was sparked by a channel 1! documentary broadcast last year and yesterday, the team behind that programme broadcast more revelations about the evidence they uncovered. stewart purvis is a media commentator and former chief executive of itn. he watched the channel 1! programme last night. good morning. thank you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. did we learn anything new? yes. the time to talk to us this morning. did we learn anything new?- did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did- _ did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a — did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a lot _ did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a lot of _ did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a lot of it _ did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a lot of it was i did we learn anything new? yes, i think we did. a lot of it was going | think we did. a lot of it was going back through material which the programme makers had gathered really over many years, but the most interesting focus was on very recent events. it was october and november of past year. the conventional

wisdom was that the bbc set up an enquiry into the bashir affair after lauren spencer went to the daily mail, and that is confirmed in the documentary. but what it revealed was that actually the bbc knew about what lord spencer new, actually two weeks before, and there is a period of two weeks where i guess the people doing the new enquiry of the bbc are going to have to look at, in terms of what did the bbc know and when, and did they delay in setting up when, and did they delay in setting up an enquiry. bud when, and did they delay in setting up an enquiry-— up an enquiry. and this, obviously, the substance _ up an enquiry. and this, obviously, the substance of _ up an enquiry. and this, obviously, the substance of the _ up an enquiry. and this, obviously, the substance of the allegations i the substance of the allegations which were made before are the thing that have really shaken things. is this likely to cause any greater fallout? ~ ~ . , fallout? well, i think it reflects on the whole _ fallout? well, i think it reflects on the whole issue _ fallout? well, i think it reflects on the whole issue of, - fallout? well, i think it reflects on the whole issue of, if- fallout? well, i think it reflects on the whole issue of, if you i fallout? well, i think it reflects i on the whole issue of, if you like, admitting there was a bbc cover up for 25 years, did the new management of the bbc really get a grip on the straightaway? and tim davey, director—general of the bbc, who has had a lot of credit for setting up

this enquiry, said he set it up with, once he saw substantive evidence. and actually, what this programme showed last night was that the bbc had substantive evidence two weeks before, but specifically replied, "the bbc does not intend to take further action on events that happened 25 years ago. now, in the programme, investigativejournalist programme, investigative journalist tom bauer said programme, investigativejournalist tom bauer said that the bbc was hoping to keep the story varied. in other words, two weeks between that evidence first coming to their attention on their announcement, which was used by the bbc to try to manage the process. now, the bbc are likely to say about what they would use that time to connect with lord spencer, try to understand the issues, possibly even see weather an apology could be made, in other words, from their point of view that was two weeks of constructive negotiation. other people are going to see it as an attempt yet again to cover up what happened back in 1995 and 1996. tim

cover up what happened back in 1995 and 1996. , and 1996. tim davies said he will make and1996. tim davies said he will make further— and 1996. tim davies said he will make further announcements i and 1996. tim davies said he will. make further announcements about and 1996. tim davies said he will- make further announcements about the ways in which journalism and journalists at the bbc will be monitored and looked after going forward in the coming days. but what more do you want to see the bbc do? well, i would suggest that the enquiry set up by three non—executive directors of the bbc should look into these new allegations about what happened in october and november last year. there are plenty of things that they all have to look at, on the wider issue of the culture in the bbc. i think there are lots of good things to say about bbcjournalism within that period as well. it has all got to be seen in context. and i suppose the one issue that is really now waiting for a resolution is why exactly martin bashir was rehired so recently, knowing what the bbc knew all this time about what had happened back in 1995 and 1996. just a final thought. obviously this is not the only occasion in which journalism more broadly has been called into question, to say the

least. obviously there are procedures now, organisations like ofcom, who are there to try to regulate things. how much damage do you think this has done to journalism per se, whether that is television, radio, newspapers, whatever? i television, radio, newspapers, whatever?— television, radio, newspapers, whatever? , , ., ., whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's — whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point _ whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point of _ whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point of view _ whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point of view is - whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point of view is that i whatever? i suppose the danger from journalism's point of view is that a i journalism's point of view is that a lot of people who perhaps wouldn't have taken lot of people who perhaps wouldn't have ta ken interest lot of people who perhaps wouldn't have taken interest in the detail of these things would come away with these things would come away with the impression thatjournalists are not to be trusted, and that is damaging forjournalism, and damaging for journalism, and particularly damaging forjournalism, and particularly damaging for bbc journalism, because it has such high standards, normally. is there going to be a lingering effect of this, is there going to be a feeling that you can't quite trust what you hear on the bbc or c on the bbc? perhaps, for a time. but if you look back on previous scandals, and there is no other word for what happened he had a scandal, there is an effect, but after a while, the bbc needs to rebuild trust with its licensing payers, who after all effectively paying for the service, they are

paying for the service, they are paying us journalists, paying for the service, they are paying usjournalists, or you journalists, to do theirjob, and they deserve to be treated with proper respect is to be given the truth. ~ ., , proper respect is to be given the truth. ~ . , ., ., , ., truth. we are very grateful for your time this morning. _ truth. we are very grateful for your time this morning. thanks - truth. we are very grateful for your time this morning. thanks for i time this morning. thanks for talking to us. that was stuart purvis, media commentator and former chief executive of itv. we're on bbc one until nine o'clock this morning, after which it's the andrew marr show. and the man himself can tell us what's in store. well, for all of those people sitting on the edge of the and sensational evidence in the house of commons this week. there is one big political story we feel has not had enough coverage, what is going on in northern ireland over the so—called protocol, which means lots of people are not getting the things in the shops they want. the temperature is rising and there is talk of violence

over the summer. i am speaking to the eu commissioner in charge of all about, and the new leader of the dup, edwin toots. lots to talk about at nine o'clock. stay with us. more news and sport coming up. good morning. welcome. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sima kotecha. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone half past seven. we're nowjust three weeks away from june 21st, when all covid restrictions in england are scheduled to be lifted, and the sunny bank holiday weekend is giving us a taste of our old freedom back. but, as we know, a lot can change in three weeks during this pandemic, particularly with the indian variant on the rise.

let's get a view from one of our regular gps, doctor mohit mandiratta. hello, thank you forjoining us. first of all, we have heard many reports in recent days of hospitals and surgeries being overwhelmed and i was speaking to someone a while ago about the same thing so what has like for you? i ago about the same thing so what has like for you?— like for you? i echo that sentiment. primary care _ like for you? i echo that sentiment. primary care has — like for you? i echo that sentiment. primary care has been _ like for you? i echo that sentiment. primary care has been open - like for you? i echo that sentiment. | primary care has been open through the pandemic, albeit working with a little differently with remote triage first and doing things in that way very safely and effectively and then seeing people face—to—face if we needed to, and alongside the majority the vaccination programme has been delivered by gps and it is a finite resource, a fixed number of doctors, nurses, receptionistand teams were delivering those things and i have to say it has been busier than i can remember in terms of the number of consultations we are offering and i believe statistics show there have been 275 million appointments over the last 12 months

it has been incredibly busy and i completely appreciate lots of people would be frustrated by that and may feel their needs and expectations are not being met but we are trying our best in very difficult circumstances and i was listening earlier absolutely, there are people who may have avoided contacting us because of the pandemic and there are lots of elective procedures that rightly were not done because we were focused on covid—19 without intensive so there is real pressure on the system but the nhs focus's is to capture all these procedures that have been missed but it will take time. a, , ., have been missed but it will take time. , ., , , have been missed but it will take time. , ., , time. mohit, is that because some --eole time. mohit, is that because some people would _ time. mohit, is that because some people would getting _ time. mohit, is that because some people would getting treatment i time. mohit, is that because some | people would getting treatment for other things as well as the covid jab, is a combination that is leading to these things being so busy? leading to these things being so bus ? ., ~ leading to these things being so bus ? . ~ ., , , busy? yeah, i think absolutely the covid vaccination _ busy? yeah, i think absolutely the covid vaccination programme i covid vaccination programme continues apace and is going successfully and we have real—world data as to how effective it is but yes, we have the gp work and the two are separate practically, i am lucky with where i work we have a surgery

where we are focused on the vaccination programme led by our primary care network and then we have another practice where we do the majority of other work but it is a finite resource with the same doctors and nurses and we are trying to do both things and it applies to all general practice. and trying to deliver both as best we can and it is obviously putting pressure on our systems. bind is obviously putting pressure on our s stems. �* ., . . is obviously putting pressure on our s stems. �* . .. , ., ~ ., i. systems. and vaccine uptake, are you noticina systems. and vaccine uptake, are you noticing hesitation _ systems. and vaccine uptake, are you noticing hesitation still— systems. and vaccine uptake, are you noticing hesitation still among - systems. and vaccine uptake, are you noticing hesitation still among some l noticing hesitation still among some people and if so, what are their main concerns? or are you seeing a real change in attitudes? i main concerns? or are you seeing a real change in attitudes?— real change in attitudes? i mean, all the way _ real change in attitudes? i mean, all the way through _ real change in attitudes? i mean, all the way through i've _ real change in attitudes? i mean, all the way through i've been i all the way through i've been looking to tackle hesitancy and i think we've been successful at doing that, especially for the high risk groups, so we are in the vaccination programme now, this is phase two, generally well, working age, more mobile population and we're trying to deliver more flexibly with pop—up clinics and walk—in centres and we are getting a roving bus for wolverhampton. i think we have been worried about complacency, worrying

about a younger population who may think i am less at risk so why should i get the vaccination? from speaking to patients with the numbers we have seen, e—39, over half vaccinated but we're not seeing it on the and speaking to people, everyone is desperate not to go back into lockdown with a lovely weather, you know, as you've mentioned, it is a realfeeling of freedom again. we are hearing about potentially travel, with vaccine passports and i think equally, the indian variant has concerned people but again we have real data showing the vaccines are effective at the indian variant so i think these things are encouraging people that if they were hesitant to come forward to get the vaccine. ., , , hesitant to come forward to get the vaccine. . , , a, hesitant to come forward to get the vaccine. ., , , a, ~ ., vaccine. lastly, mohit, we know ounuer vaccine. lastly, mohit, we know younger people _ vaccine. lastly, mohit, we know younger people can _ vaccine. lastly, mohit, we know younger people can get - vaccine. lastly, mohit, we know. younger people can get vaccinated now so can you spell out what age group is able to now book the appointment if they have not had it or heard from the gp?— appointment if they have not had it or heard from the gp? currently over 30 so anyone — or heard from the gp? currently over 30 so anyone over _ or heard from the gp? currently over 30 so anyone over 30 _ or heard from the gp? currently over 30 so anyone over 30 can _ or heard from the gp? currently over 30 so anyone over 30 can come i 30 so anyone over 30 can come forward and get their vaccine, dale 119 through the national booking system or the gp may contact them so

i would encourage anyone —— dial. and anyone who has had the first, please get your second because it is so important to have both against the dominant hand variant and the indian variant of which we are finding more cases. —— kent. if indian variant of which we are finding more cases. -- kent. if you have had your _ finding more cases. -- kent. if you have had your vaccine, _ finding more cases. -- kent. if you have had your vaccine, did - finding more cases. -- kent. if you have had your vaccine, did you i finding more cases. -- kent. if you| have had your vaccine, did you have any side effects because i had mine and ifelt rough any side effects because i had mine and i felt rough for five or six days. very tired! i and i felt rough for five or six days. very tired!— and i felt rough for five or six days. very tired! i had both of my vaccinations _ days. very tired! i had both of my vaccinations and _ days. very tired! i had both of my vaccinations and obviously - days. very tired! i had both of my vaccinations and obviously being l days. very tired! i had both of my| vaccinations and obviously being a healthcare professional who were in one of the first cohorts. side effects are very common and it is often part of your immune system building up. the commonest side effect is a sore arm with redness and itching but some people can feel rundown, hot and cold, a little bit sick. normally it lasts a day or two and is self—limiting and self resolving and we recommend rest, paracetamol, plenty of fluids, but nothing to worry about. some people will get side effects but equally others will get none and it is part of your immunity building up and

often even with the flu jab and other vaccinations you can get similar side effects.— other vaccinations you can get similar side effects. thank you so much and i _ similar side effects. thank you so much and i am — similar side effects. thank you so much and i am loving _ similar side effects. thank you so much and i am loving the - similar side effects. thank you so much and i am loving the taj i similar side effects. thank you so l much and i am loving the taj mahal in the background. a couple of people on twitter had spotted that as well which is great. that was planned. we're talking it later. gavin is here with the sport. a fantastic night for chelsea and chelsea supporters and champions of europe again? i tell you, thomas turkel is getting a lot of the credit for outsmarting pep guardiola. —— tuchel. if this squad was largely assembled by frank lampard, a massive legend, assembled the large majority of the team and mason mount and kai havertz, lampard people. i think it would be delighted to see how well mason mount has gone. yes, it was chelsea who were crowned as champions of europe last night after they beat manchester

city 1—0 in porto. manager thomas tuchel at the heart of the celebrations in the dressing room. he's built such a strong side since taking over. tuchel was beaten with paris st—germain in last year's final, but he made no mistake with his second chance. cheering. and these were the scenes at the final whistle in london, where chelsea fans had gathered to watch the game. they got to see their team win the title for the first time since 2012. i'm sure the party went on long into the night. and tuchel was happy to have given everyone something to celebrate. i'm almost speechless. i am very, very happy to share this moment with this team, with all the staff, with all the guys who support on an everyday basis in cobham, and the team, it's for them. it's for our team manager, who is at home. it's for him. and ja, it's for my parents and my family and my kids. so in the stadium, it's fantastic to share.

and the players took to social media to express theirjoy. mason mount posted pictures of himself, one as as a child and another from yesterday night, saying "how it started. how it's going." i love that photograph on the left there. ben chilwell said simply "we did it". it doesn't look as though he wants to let go of the trophy there. ben chilwell absolutely adoring it. and chelsea legend didier drogba said "we believed". very much so. a legend of the club. on the flip side, manchester city's wait for a champions league trophy goes on. there's been plenty of criticism of manager pep guardiola's team selection — he went with a starting 11 he'd never picked before — but he had no regrets. it was a tight game, and it was — i think we played, being the first time in the champions league, we played a real good, good final. we showed courage, and everyone, especially in the second half — the first half, you know, it is not easy to play this competition for all of us, it is the first time,

you know, the commitment that they had — but they did everything, they put everything, and i just want to congratulate them for the exceptional season, even for the game they played today. disappointed again. so two sets of fans are experiencing very different emotions this morning. we can talk to two of them who made it out to porto to watch the match. kevin parker is the secretary of the manchester city official supporters's club and tim rolls writes for the chelsea fans' magazine. welcome to you both. kevin, commiserations, i'm sorry about the game last night. are you upset with the way that pepper went into it? how do you feel about this election? ,., ., ., election? good morning, congratulations - election? good morning, congratulations to - election? good morning, i congratulations to chelsea, i thought they were the winners on the night and i think when we had the team lined up, we were very surprised but it was not rodri of filipino off the previous some of the previous 60 games we played

before last night. 29 of them, one had played and i think we were all a little bit nervous about that. i think he changed the winning formula from the semi—finals and from the previous rounds and it proved to be right. i think we had some underperformers on the night but i also think that a lot of the players seemed to not quite get the different system that was played. it was just very frustrating. in terms of another year goes by kevin for pep guardiola to win this trophy, is it something that will bug him and haunt him? will he stay at the club until he eventually wins?— until he eventually wins? that's a difficult one _ until he eventually wins? that's a difficult one to _ until he eventually wins? that's a difficult one to answer! _ until he eventually wins? that's a difficult one to answer! from i until he eventually wins? that's a difficult one to answer! from our| difficult one to answer! from our point of view we have to look at, you know, three out of the last four years we have been premier league champions and we have one backup for years on the run and have won the fa cup so it has been successful and we cannot allow the disappointment of

last night to overshadow that. winning the champions league now we have been to the final of course becomes more of a goalfor us have been to the final of course becomes more of a goal for us than it was before but i don't think, listening to any city fan and i'm not saying this because we lost, and i have congratulated chelsea, if you speak to any city fan, the priority has always been in the premier league, winning it. i don't think it will be any different next season. we have a look at chelsea, you know, who have won it twice now. i think when chelsea won it in 2012 when they beat by and, by and went on to win the following season and a couple seasons ago liverpool lost real madrid and they went on the following season —— bayern. hopefully we can do the same this time around. hopefully we can do the same this time around-— hopefully we can do the same this time around. .., ., ., ., , ., time around. tim, congratulations, a fantastic win — time around. tim, congratulations, a fantastic win for _ time around. tim, congratulations, a fantastic win for chelsea _ time around. tim, congratulations, a fantastic win for chelsea last - fantastic win for chelsea last night. did you expect this when thomas tuchel took over, effectively

campaign but their first success. there we are. that is all of the sport but that brentford game, it is wonderful to see a community club get into the premier league after so much flak around the top six, a clublike them, a family oriented club, that is great. the underdog! thank you, gavin. it is a quarter to eight. louise, it looks pretty good everywhere, doesn't it? wouldn't you like to be here right now? i spent many a wonderful family holiday here in devon, not a cloud in the sky. there is quite a lot of low cloud around, the sun is burning the low cloud and fog away slowly.

it has all been rolling in off the north sea, really. west is certainly best in terms of sunshine at the moment, but hopefully sunshine is strong now, june isjust around moment, but hopefully sunshine is strong now, june is just around the corner, it should nibble away quite nicely at that cloud as we go through the morning. generally it is going to be an improving picture. there isjust the going to be an improving picture. there is just the slim chance of the heat triggering of an isolated shower, may in scotland today. that is nitpicking. generally it will be a fine day, we might continue to see more cloud into the northern isles, in western scotland you could get highs of 22 degrees, similar values in northern ireland and yesterday we had the warmest day of the year so far. it is going to be a glorious day generally across england. look at the difference would be temperatures along at north sea. if we keep that cloud shrouding the coast, maybe only around 16 or 17 celsius. still, a lot of dry and sunny weather for most of us. through the evening it is going to continue to be a pleasant one. overnight we do it all again, that low cloud and the mist and fog will

roll back in off the north sea, we keep those clear skies further west. tomorrow the wind direction is set to change. if anything, tomorrow will be warmer still. bank holiday monday looks very promising indeed. a bit more of a breeze, coming from a south—easterly direction, so it is driving in some warmer air from europe. on the whole, once we lose any murky conditions first thing in the morning again, we are going to see a lot of dry weather, and those temperatures are likely to respond. it does mean we could see temperatures potentially peaking at around 23 or 2a degrees. we will have to keep an eye on but. the warmest temperature, the highest temperature we have seen in spring was in march, believe it or not. we're definitely due for some want to close out month of may. starting off with june, almost a repeat performance. i suspect the heat will peak on tuesday. 2a or 25 degrees not out of the question. that is from wednesday onwards, there is a frontal system that is going to try to push into the south—west.

obviously it is bumping into the high—pressure so it could be delayed, it could speed up, the position of where those showers are likely to break out is still subject to question. there is the potential for some thundery downpours into the south—west. many of us will stay dry and settled, butjust that little bit fresher from thursday and friday onwards. but it is half term, so that still means there is going to be a lot of usable weather right across the country. there you go. ladle across the country. there you go. we like hearing from you today. laughter. right, so you don't want to hear from me when it is misery, then? the last four weeks i could have stayed at home. it isjust last four weeks i could have stayed at home. it is just extra special today. at home. it is 'ust extra special toda . .,, at home. it is 'ust extra special toda. . , ., today. the most popular person on the tv today- _ today. the most popular person on the tv today. absolutely. - today. the most popular person on the tv today. absolutely. we - today. the most popular person on the tv today. absolutely. we will l the tv today. absolutely. we will have to have _ the tv today. absolutely. we will have to have minds _ the tv today. absolutely. we will have to have minds for— the tv today. absolutely. we will have to have minds for you - the tv today. absolutely. we will have to have minds for you at - the tv today. absolutely. we will l have to have minds for you at eight o'clock. _ have to have minds for you at eight o'clock. but— have to have minds for you at eight o'clock, but now it is time for click —

hey, welcome to click. this week, we want to make you feel good through the medium of music. i don't know about you, lara, but i've been listening to a lotta, lotta music in the last year. i love a good tune to run to, but i do find it quite difficult to decide what music i want. so i end up downloading one song and then just having it on repeat for the whole of my 5k. do you do anything like that? is that weird? er, no, idon't. and yes, that is weird. it's not that sea shanty, is it? 'cause that would be, like, too weird. i tell you what, though, sometimes i do find myself listening to a really small set of songs. for me, it's the amazing band chvrches, which i think have got me through lockdown, to be honest. i think you've got them through lockdown. yeah, that's true, that's true.

it's a bit like musical comfort food, though. when i'm feeling down, ijust want that familiar sound. hmm, i may not have been doing it, but of course anyone can make a playlist with any music, to cater for any mood. yeah, and that is whatjen copestake has been looking at — or, listening to — playlists that have been created specifically for you based on where you are right now emotionally, and where you want to get to. we've seen how artificial intelligence is being used to compose music, from heavy metal algorithms and competitions like the ai eurovision song contest. the way we consume music is also guided by algorithms. spotify suggests artists and playlists based on our listening patterns. but could this data be used in an even more medicinal way? companies are exploring ways to use all of this data to create what they're calling prescription playlists, which they hope could one day replace some painkillers or even anti—anxiety medication.

the warren youth project in hull provides mental health support to young people between the ages of 16 and 25. before the pandemic, it was already using music as therapy. you'll hear people talk about miracle drugs like penicillin, the breakthroughs down through the years. but in actualfact, music is the miracle drug we've always had. # being alone, being alone... a project called three—minute heroes teamed young people up with local bands to make music videos based on their lyrics. # i thought that life on this planet... - we had hurdles, but we had them representing emotional hurdles, things like anxiety and depression, stress, loneliness. and over the course of the video, our singer rory overcomes those hurdles. is it something that you see in young people in hull? it's definitely something that we see in young people at hull, and especially at the pandemic, you know, it's multiplied several times. it can be isolation. it can be drug and alcohol abuse.

it can lead to problems with education and employment. jake is the first young person at the warren to trial medi music, an algorithm designed to pick the perfect playlist of songs to lower your heart rate. music is academically proven to affect the brain more - than any other stimulus. it's already been trialled with dementia patients in the lancashire teaching hospital's nhs foundation trust, with a reported decrease in heart rate of 22%. a trial is currently under way with a0 nhs doctors and nurses at the same trust, who are working in critical care during the pandemic. can you talk us through those devices in front of you? yeah, sure. so what we've decided to do is build our own device, which is what we're looking to move towards. it's been designed to just focus on the delivery of music with no distractions we wouldn't normally get when looking at a smartphone. then at the bottom there will be additional modules that measure heart rate variability, which is a good indicator of stress, and hopefully ultimately something that will measure cortisol via a wearable. forjake's playlist, only six songs were chosen, but the algorithm can handle up to 400.

the music chosen is not necessarily what you'd imagine. because it didn't sound very relaxing. like, punch the clock! no, well, that's what i thought. didn't seem like relaxing music. when i went away and listened to the playlist, i think i definitely was calmer. i was definitely very engrossed while listening to it. it's a really easily accessible piece of kit. it has potential to just help as an additional tool to alleviate those pressures and those concerns that young people have around their mental health well—being. and for us, it's imperative that we try and deal with these emerging issues as quickly as we can, using any methodology or opportunity that we can get our hands on. music: tchaikovsky — swan lake theme. there is very little doubt the effect music has on us and its ability to capture the mind. a spanish charity called music to awaken uploaded a video tribute to former prima ballerina marta gonzalez. she was suffering with dementia and suddenly hears the swan theme from swan lake. further trials of its use

are needed, but medi music estimates its algorithm, as well as reawakening imaginations, could cut the costs of some medicines by a quarter. motor racing is huge, but it's notjust the professionals that you may see on the telly. in the uk, over 30,000 people have what's known as a competition licence, and lots of others just head to the tracks for fun. all of them are trying to go faster, drive better and crash less. and now there's a new piece of tech out there which might just give them the edge. and dan simmons has been taking it for a spin. this is thruxton race circuit. it's the fastest track in the uk where ordinary

road cars can take corners at over 100 miles an hour. now, for most drivers, what makes the biggest difference to their speed isn't tweaking a car. it's about their driving skills. and that usually means getting an instructor to help us improve. that is until now. garmin have come up with the catalyst. it wants to make me drive faster. my question is, can it make me the next lewis hamilton? and more to the point, is ben here out of a job? so far, my best time around the track was a 151.6. i was getting faster, but could the catalyst make a difference? now when you're driving a car round a track, you're aiming to do one thing, take corners really well. it's all about timing,

braking in the right place and trying to keep the car on the fastest line. to help with this, the catalyst uses a camera fitted to the dashboard, along with gps and accelerometers, to work out where you are on the circuit. after three set—up laps, it analyses where it thinks improvements can be made and then coaches you in real time as you continue round the circuit. what did it say, ben? good job on braking harder. 0k. so that's what it wants me

to do — apex later. it says nice work, so it's sort of encouraging me a little bit. this is my session summary, and the catalyst has picked out some places that it thinks that i can improve on, that i didn't really expect it to. i thought it would go for the twisty bits, but it hasn't. it's gone for the long, sweeping fast corners. look at that, church it thinks i can improve on. that run up the hill, fast and sudden braking, into the chicane. it thinks that i can do much better. so all it needed was a few more laps. that's good, that was good. catalyst: keep turning. laughter. keep turning! i said it first. yes, you did, ben, i'll give you that. the results were in. it did help me go faster. it helped me straighten out the corners and actually give

a little bit more gas in some cases where i was quite willing to sometimes lift off. would i replace a live instructor with this? probably not. he's aware of all sorts of things going on in the car, including what's going on for me, whereas at the moment this isn't. so it's better than nothing, but it doesn't replace ben. catalyst: keep pushing. people need to understand the limitations of what it can do and understand what it can't do, and as we experienced through the day, yeah, the tyres get hot and then they go off slightly. so the lap you did three laps ago, you're not going to get near again. and so the unit telling you to keep trying for that time maybe isn't the safest thing to do. there's also one other feature which is worth mentioning. it's very easy to set new tracks using the device — you just have to drive the same route three times, and that could be anywhere, including public roads.

now, the device discourages this through an on—screen warning set—up, and garmin told the bbc that it doesn't encourage any form of illegal activity. but what is interesting is that the device's design team haven't used geofencing to restrict its use to race tracks. back on track, we wanted to see what it was like with a pro, so we sent 2017 british gt winner seb morris around for a spin. when we think of cars of the future, we think autonomous self—driving machines. itjust told me to apex later, so it means i've obviously turned in a bit too early into that corner. and before, my optimal best was a 1.31.9 which i thought was the limit. but as it's talked me round and taught me to do a few different things, i've actually decreased that lap time.

but perhaps this tech presents a better picture for those who enjoy driving — a collaboration between human and machine to create a better driver. but i'm surprised garmin hasn't taken the opportunity to cross—reference the data with the drivers' biometrics, using something like their watch range, to make things safer. suggest brake times perhaps, and get even more from man and machine. what was his time? 1:29.9. i'll have to do more practice! that's the end of the short version for this week, though the full length version is well worth a watch and is waiting for you on iplayer right now. and as ever, you can find us on social media, youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon. bye— bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson

and sima kotecha. our headlines today: chelsea are champions league winners after beating manchester city in an all—english final in portugal. 16,000 watched it unfold in porto, and in london chelsea fans celebrated in the streets outside stamford bridge. as half term begins, nhs trusts in tourism hospots warn they'll struggle to cope with extra demand on top of existing backlogs. and prime minister borisjohnson has married his fiancee carrie symonds in a secret ceremony at westminster cathedral. good morning. a promising sunday of sunshine awaits. yes, we've got some low cloud, mist and fog around. that'll lift, it's going to be another glorious day. plenty of sunshine and getting a little bit warmer. all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday the 30th of may. our top story.

chelsea fans are celebrating the biggest prize in european club football for a second time — after their team beat manchester city in the champions league final in portugal. more than 16,000 supporters were allowed into the stadium in porto. the host city was changed from istanbul because of covid restrictions. laura scott was there. nine years on from their first taste of european glory, chelsea crowned champions once again. but on a frenetic night in porto, they had to keep fighting right to the wire. on paper, manchester city were all—out attack, but their best early opportunity was thwarted by a perfectly timed challenge from antonio rudiger. goalless after a frenzied first a0 minutes, and then this — chelsea's most expensive player of all time, kai havertz, securing the all—importa nt breakthrough.

commentator: kai havertz . in the champions league final! cue elation on the pitch, from the stands and many more back home! cheering. after the break, city's pain worsened as a nasty clash ended kevin de bruyne's night early. city still threw everything at it and came close to levelling in the dying seconds. but when riyad mahrez�*s shot went agonisingly wide, that was it. back home, it was heartbreak for those in manchester. and joy down in west london. all sing. champions of europe! that's who we are! champions of europe?! it's been brilliant, absolutely — look! look! it's brought us all back together! champions! in porto, there'll be contrasting emotions felt by fans as they start to make their way home. for chelsea supporters, the logistics and expense of the numerous covid tests and hiked—up flight and hotel costs has all been worthwhile. # champions! # champions of europe!

we're exhausted but we're overjoyed. we're just delighted. manchester city were denied the biggest honour that had so far eluded them. instead, in this third all—english champions league final, it was to be chelsea's night and the celebrations were in full flow. laura scott, bbc news, porto. the group that represents nhs trusts in england says hospitals in holiday hotspots will struggle to cope with the extra demand caused by increased domestic tourism this summer. nhs providers say that while covid admissions are nowhere near their peak — hospitals are dealing with a backlog of cases and a rise in demand for urgent care. our health correspondent katharine da costa has the details. london's twickenham stadium, now a surge vaccination centre ready to deliver 15,000 doses on bank holiday monday as the extra push to vaccinate as many people as possible continues. but despite the more infectious

variant first detected in india, so far, hospitals haven't seen a spike in admissions. trust leaders in some of england's worst affected areas say most covid patients are unvaccinated, either because they are younger and not yet been invited for a jab, or hadn't taken up the offer — a clear sign, they say, the vaccines are working. but nhs providers warns hospitals are still under pressure with trusts working flat out to reduce record waiting lists for non—urgent operations. there's also been an increase in demand for urgent care. doctors think significant numbers of patients have been putting off seeking treatment and now require more complex care and longer stays. some trusts in holiday areas also worry an influx of tourists will leave them struggling to cope. what to those trusts are sent to us as if we already have 96 and 97% of our beds occupied, lots of people

going to holiday destinations right across the country in the lake district and south course, they are worried about the extra degree of pressure that will bring and that does need to be factored into the calculations of what happens next. ahead of any decision to lift the remaining legal restrictions in england onjune 21, nhs providers wants the government to lead an informed debate on the trade—offs that need to be made. it points out that while vaccines are helping to break the link between infection, serious illness and death, there are still many more people to vaccinate. katharine da costa, bbc news. the prime minister borisjohnson has married his fiancee carrie symonds in a secret ceremony at westminster cathedral. the wedding was held in front of close friends and family yesterday, according to several newspapers — although downing street has declined to comment. our political correspondent

helen catt has more. borisjohnson and carrie symonds were the first unmarried couple to live together in downing street. they'd first been publicly linked by the media in early 2019. by the end of that year, they were engaged, although they did not announce it until the following february, when carrie symonds posted the news on instagram, at the same time as announcing they were expecting their first child together. wilfred was born in april last year. there had been lots of speculation about when and how the couple would get married. in the end, the reportedly secret ceremony at westminster catholic cathedral took almost everyone by surprise. downing street has declined to comment — an unusual position, but one that chimes with the prime minister's long—standing wish to keep his personal life private. mrjohnson's divorce from his second wife marina wheeler was finalised last year, making him the first prime minister in centuries to divorce and remarry while in office. helen catt, bbc news, westminster.

are you doing anything special? not a lot but the weather is going to be good. i have got to get up early again tomorrow morning. pubs will be doing a roaring trade today — with an estimated a0 million pints being pulled this weekend — but the industry is warning that covid restrictions are still causing major problems. emma mcclarkin is the head of the british pub and beer association — and fiona hornsby owns a number of bars in liverpool fiona, there are fewer points to be pulled this weekend. how worried are you about hospitality businesses getting out over that dreadful period we have seen over the last year when they have not been open? i year when they have not been open? i think it'sjust been awful for so

think it's just been awful for so many people. we are getting there and on the way back and trade has been really good since we've been allowed to open so we have just got to take the steps when we're given them and make sure we are safe and customers are comfortable and we don't go back into lockdown ever again. don't go back into lockdown ever aaain. ., , ., don't go back into lockdown ever aaain. . , don't go back into lockdown ever aaain. ., , . don't go back into lockdown ever aaain. . , . _ again. have you been encouraged by the trade you — again. have you been encouraged by the trade you have _ again. have you been encouraged by the trade you have had _ again. have you been encouraged by the trade you have had so _ again. have you been encouraged by the trade you have had so far? - the trade you have had so far? unbelievably so because we have two pubs and one has an outside area and one hasn't saw the one we opened in april wasjust one hasn't saw the one we opened in april was just unbelievable, those first three weeks of glorious weather was brilliant but even with the rain they still came out and to have that support, but also important for people to see each other and catch up together again, i think they have missed social contact. it think they have missed social contact. ., , , ., think they have missed social contact. . , , . .., contact. it was bizarre coming here esterda contact. it was bizarre coming here yesterday and _ contact. it was bizarre coming here yesterday and passing _ contact. it was bizarre coming here yesterday and passing a _ contact. it was bizarre coming here yesterday and passing a pub - contact. it was bizarre coming here yesterday and passing a pub and i yesterday and passing a pub and seeing people having a drink together outside in the sunshine. what can businesses do to perhaps improve their chances of making up all that lost revenue at the moment?

drinks and i will stay here all day. but other people are really cautious and mis—sell them for the first time last week since march and even though they have had two injections they still sit outside. though they have had two in'ections they still sit outsidefi they still sit outside. emma, fiona talked about _ they still sit outside. emma, fiona talked about people _ they still sit outside. emma, fiona talked about people sitting - they still sit outside. emma, fiona talked about people sitting at - they still sit outside. emma, fiona talked about people sitting at the. talked about people sitting at the table saying we will stay there all day, do you think we could see a shift in the way in which pubs operate going forward where people actually quite like sitting at a table having their drinks brought and would perhaps do that than stand at the bar? ., and would perhaps do that than stand at the bar? . . ., , at the bar? there are certainly auoin to at the bar? there are certainly going to be — at the bar? there are certainly going to be things _ at the bar? there are certainly going to be things we - at the bar? there are certainly going to be things we will- at the bar? there are certainly| going to be things we will keep at the bar? there are certainly - going to be things we will keep from the pandemic, i'm sure. there are some _ the pandemic, i'm sure. there are some bars— the pandemic, i'm sure. there are some bars that simply cannot make beyond _ some bars that simply cannot make beyond break even because the efficiency of table service means they have — efficiency of table service means they have to employ extra staff so they have to employ extra staff so the reality— they have to employ extra staff so the reality of the situation is those — the reality of the situation is those that can afford to do that stale _ those that can afford to do that stale and — those that can afford to do that stale and option will retain it but there _ stale and option will retain it but there are — stale and option will retain it but there are some pubs that simply cannot— there are some pubs that simply cannot open because they cannot have

really, really, really optimistic right now. really, really, really optimistic right now— right now. definitely looking forward to — right now. definitely looking forward to having _ right now. definitely looking forward to having a - right now. definitely looking forward to having a few- right now. definitely looking i forward to having a few baddies right now. definitely looking - forward to having a few baddies this weekend. thank you both. —— —— bevvies. so how does the picture look ahead of the planned lifting of restrictions in england onjune 21st — which is now just three weeks away? the epidemiologist professor sian griffiths joins us from oxford. we were talking there was people and hospitality about the 21st ofjune. do you think we are on track in england restrictions being removed? i think the phrase dates not data sums it up and if you look across england we are seeing high vaccination rates and half the group between 30 and a0 have not been

vaccinated which is great news. and we are seeing numbers of hospital admissions and cases overall are down as is the death rate but we are also seeing hotspots, particularly of the variant that was first characterised in india, 1.617.2, and we have seen an upturn in cases. not huge numbers but still quite a fast doubling rate in the areas where they have that infection. so that it's an exciting and i think the politicians will have to balance that must the pressures on the nhs from people that did not come forward during covid with other conditions that the treatment know so we are in a bit of a complicated situation in terms of what are the demands on the nhs, what are the

risks as we increase the mixing in the public and what about the problem that this new variant seems to be becoming the dominant variant? all these things need to be taken into account as decisions are made and the way out is vaccination. and i think we are on a journey and have been on a journey since the beginning of the pandemic. we continue to learn, we continue to look at the science, the figures and decisions are made accordingly. you mention that — decisions are made accordingly. you mention that phrase data, not dates. you will be aware that yesterday a member of the sage subcommittee on behavioural science that there was fear the government were being led by dates not data despite what what it's best intentions in the first place. do you agree with them? i was place. do you agree with them? i was 'ust place. do you agree with them? i was just listening — place. do you agree with them? i was just listening to _ place. do you agree with them? i was just listening to the _ place. do you agree with them? i —" just listening to the people talking for the pub industry talking just

before i came to talk to you and they really need to have some security. they are anxious that the road map may not be followed and i think politicians will be listening to the pressures on industry, the pressures on leisure, the tourism industry, they will be listening to all of those messages and at the same time they will be advised about the figures and the rates of increase. it is a matter of deciding at the time when you have the data rather than being able to pre—empt it and that is really frustrating, i know, if you're trying to plan something but it is just a matter of balance and getting the balance right because the last thing we want to see is a huge upturn in cases as the summer comes. fortunately, the virus doesn't like hot weather as much as cold and we are outside much more and so the risks are probably much less but there is an issue here about being aware of what is going on with the data and making sure that the right decisions are made in

the light of the data. i am sure we would all want that justice the light of the data. i am sure we would all want thatjustice we need to keep ourselves and our families and loved ones safe and vaccines coming forward if we have symptoms, making sure we're doing the testing and sticking to the rules that exist at the moment, all of that will contribute once a better prospect for the 21st ofjune.— contribute once a better prospect for the 21st ofjune. there are some areas which — for the 21st ofjune. there are some areas which are _ for the 21st ofjune. there are some areas which are hotspots _ for the 21st ofjune. there are some areas which are hotspots and - for the 21st ofjune. there are some areas which are hotspots and have i areas which are hotspots and have considerably higher rates than others. is there a possibility, do you think, that we may see some areas unlock and others not? many people regard that as a kind of through the back door return to the tier system which a lot of areas and won't want to see. is that a possibility, do you think? is won't want to see. is that a possibility, do you think? is not a short-term _ possibility, do you think? is not a short-term possibility. _ possibility, do you think? is not a short-term possibility. i- possibility, do you think? is not a short-term possibility. ithink- possibility, do you think? is not a short-term possibility. i think we| short—term possibility. i think we all had the debate about a week ago when the guidance suggested there were local lockdown in areas where there were a lot of cases. this was refuted and explained that if you

are in an area where you know there are in an area where you know there are a significant number of cases, particularly of this variant, the indian variant to be, but it is one that was first described in india. , people know you need to take more precautions need to be more careful no serious because the risk of the infection is higher but the best thing again is to come forward for vaccination which is why you are seeing surge vaccinations and such testing is rather than local restrictions because it is quite difficult to put in place local restrictions on local authority boundaries for example because people come in and out and if you haven't got general restrictions it's easy to move between areas. so i think you have to put it as something that could be done in certain circumstances but i personally do not think it is very likely at the moment.— personally do not think it is very likely at the moment. boris johnson said riaht likely at the moment. boris johnson said right at — likely at the moment. boris johnson said right at the _

likely at the moment. boris johnson said right at the beginning - likely at the moment. boris johnson said right at the beginning when - likely at the moment. boris johnson said right at the beginning when he| said right at the beginning when he outlined his road map that it was going to be a one—way direction of travel and there would be no going back and that is one thing talking to businesses, hotels, bars, pubs, all businesses that they really don't want to go backwards to another lockdown. from what you know, do you think we are coming through this and are on a one—way direction of travel? hate through this and are on a one-way direction of travel?— direction of travel? we are hopefully _ direction of travel? we are hopefully going _ direction of travel? we are hopefully going one - direction of travel? we are hopefully going one way. l direction of travel? we are i hopefully going one way. you direction of travel? we are - hopefully going one way. you can't tell because you just don't know what is going to happen with this particular virus. what is going to happen with this particularvirus. it's what is going to happen with this particular virus. it's notjust the uk that the virus is in, it's across the world and there are many issues about making sure the world is safe and making sure that vaccines are available across the world rather than just to ourselves so we can just think of the uk. i think we're probably going in right direction but we may need to vary the speed. thank you very much as i was talking to us.

time now for a look at the weather with louise — and it looks like summer is finally on its way. it isa it is a perfect day for drinking or eating alfresco because it is going to be warm with light winds and very nice indeed and will stay like that throughout the day and bank holiday monday as well. a beautiful start in northumberland as you can see quite clearly. and also some gorgeous sunshine in wales. a great day for hiking in the lovely countryside in wales at the moment. there is this high pressure going to stay with us for the next few days. it is emphasising as it pushes further into the north sea and will bring a little more cloud in off the north sea and so here we have a slightly disappointing start. further west is where the best of the sunshine is at the moment and eventually the sunshine will start to push that cloud, ease it a way back into the

north sea so for many of us a fine settled afternoon. a few isolated showers perhaps in scotland but they really will be few and far between and temperatures should peek into the low 20s for many areas. so a pleasant afternoon, a pleasant evening to come for your evening barbecue, you should not see too many issues. once again we could see that low cloud and mist and fog coming back in off the north sea for eastern areas. we start with temperatures around 7 degrees to 10 degrees. tomorrow will be warmer still. a bit more of a breeze but the wind direction is driving and more warmth of the near continent self warm and south—east england and across the country and temperatures could be as high as 2a, possibly 25 degrees. we will need to keep an eye on that. that could be the warmest day of may for the final day of may. the beginning ofjune is looking quite promising as well. we will start injune on a warm and sunny note but that is the potential for some thundery showers developing in the middle part of the week there

will still be a lot of dry and sunny weather around. this is the law likely to push on from wednesday onwards and linger for wednesday and potentially thirsty and we need to keep an eye on the position of that low and that frontal system which is still subject to change. western areas could see a few showers, some could be heavy and thundery. once that front eases away it will be a little bit fresher towards the end of the week. further east it is unlikely you will get to see any significant showers around so against all the emphasis on a good deal of dry weather but certainly noticeably fresher than the last couple of days. but i know it's half term and still that is a good deal of usable weather out there for many days with the kids. we've been loving your pictures of fun in the long—awaited sunshine yesterday. let's see a few more now.

the champions league result wasn't the only reason to celebrate in chelsea yesterday. congratulations to dave and tracey who got married there. they got married at chelsea town hall. you know share your wedding with the prime minister and his former fiancee. caroline took the opportunity to go punting, in cambridge of course. and oscar the norfolk terrier enjoyed his day out at st michael's mount in cornwall. and just look at this, a beautiful image you've probably heard of the three peaks challenge — in which walkers tackle the highest points of scotland, england and wales, one after the other. as if that's not tough enough, a pair of fitness enthusiasts are planning to throw in a fourth climb — in northern ireland. oh, yes, and they're going to row between each nation. alison freeman went to meet them.

their home for around six weeks. catherine and martin will eat, sleep and travel on this rowing boat between the four nations of the united kingdom, before taking on their highest peaks on foot. a challenge that's never been attempted before. so this is our cabin, there's just enough legroom to be able to lie down. i'm here, martin's here, so it's pretty cosy. it's the idea of catherine wilkins, who runs a fitness centre in northumberland. despite the mammoth challenge ahead, she managed to get martin, who works for her, on board. i like to try things that no—one has ever done before. when catherine mentioned it to me, that she's got this challenge in mind and nobody has ever completed it, i was instantly yes, i'm there, i'm doing it. the pair will start their challenge by climbing mount snowdon in wales before walking to caernarfon. they'll row to whitehaven and from there walk up to the summit of scafell pike.

after walking back to the coast they'll cross the irish sea to northern ireland, wherte they'll tackle slieve donard. they then take on the longest rowing leg of their expedition, before travelling by sea and canal to the highlands of scotland. there, they'll climb ben nevis. the irish sea has a lot of challenges. it's got shipping lanes. it can be horrendously tidal and choppy. so we have everything crossed for a high—pressure system and a gentle crossing, but we're not under any illusions. the pair will be raising money for the mental health charity mind. me being a former marine, a veteran of the marines, some lads who leave struggle a lot with mental health, including myself. so when ijoined the forces, the forces was my family. and then to go from that to civilian life is a bit of a shock. it's hard, really, to find that purpose, of where you stand in civilian life and what gets you up in the morning. ijust want people to be able to talk about it, the benefits of being outside and pushing yourselves physically, and the benefits that can have on mental health.

you are really going to be pushing yourself physically, aren't you? yes, i think we are! we are definitely going to be pushing ourselves physically, and, you know, we're probably talking 16 or 17 hours rowing a day. they will set off on their challenge onjune 3rd. is it going to challenge yourfriendship, do you think? we had a couple of hairy moments on the training row last weekend and we got through that and said to ourselves, there's no—one we would rather be in a boat with. alison freeman, bbc news. 16 or 17 hours rowing a day and that is without all the walking and climbing. you're watching bbc breakfast. coming up in the next half hour: we'll meet the model maker who's been dubbed the michelangelo of middlesbrough — after he built this replica

of the old town in his bedroom. and if you're wondering — he now sleeps on a camp bed in his kitchen. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sima kotecha. good morning. it's an eyesore which blights

alleyways, streets and fields. we're talking about fly tipping — which is now happening 20000 times a week in england alone, according to the local government association. in a moment we'll hearfrom a man who is using technology to tackle the tippers. first, linsey smith reports on the misery they're bringing to one street in grimsby. eight years worth of rubbish. mattresses, beds, peppered with needles, faeces and rats. the stench from this means theresa and her family can't sit in their garden. but north east lincolnshire council say if they want it cleared, do it yourselves. it's disgusting, absolutely disgusting. i can't get access to my side gate. i'm a mobility scooter user and i can't get it out. it's just... you sit here thinking, when's the next fire? when are they going to set fire to it next? and it's absolutely terrifying.

until last weekend, the waste went right up to this gate. jeanette spent £180 hiring a skip to enable access to her garden. why should it be at our expense to clear an alleyway that we did nothing, no dumping in? you know, other people did that. the smell, sometimes. the fact that there's cats and rats — ok, i have cats, but there's tomcats living down there. they're digging through the rubbish. there's needles, you're scared to let anybody out. although north east lincolnshire council praised theresa and jeanette, they told look north: the council also say they will investigate reports of fly tipping on private [and if residents have cctv. on this modest street, they've invested in technology, but with little success. i've repeatedly rang them up. it's just, like — they don't care. as the pandemic worsened over

the last year, fly tipping has blighted communities. the big question now is, who's going to clean it up? lydnsey smith, bbc news, grimsby. those pictures are horrendous. let's talk now to martin montague, who has developed a mobile phone app to help tackle this issue. hejoins us from hampshire. thanks for coming on the show. explain to me why have got into this, i write in understanding you have been affected by fly—tipping yourself? have been affected by fly-tipping ourself? , ~ have been affected by fly-tipping ourself? , ,, . , yourself? yes. i think so many --eole yourself? yes. i think so many people have- _ yourself? yes. i think so many people have. initially- yourself? yes. i think so many people have. initially i - yourself? yes. i think so many people have. initially i was- people have. initially i was struggling to report fly—tipping. but i love borders on a couple of councils, some were great but others weren't. —— where i live. i was horrified because as a consumer most people realise you are liable for a

fine if you use unreliable traders. that is the first big message. aha, fine if you use unreliable traders. that is the first big message. fix. lat that is the first big message. a lot of --eole that is the first big message. a lot of people do _ that is the first big message. a lot of people do it. — that is the first big message. a lot of people do it, it _ that is the first big message. a lot of people do it, it is _ that is the first big message. a lot of people do it, it is quite - that is the first big message. a lot of people do it, it is quite a big problem. can you explain why people do it? what is the motivation? it is do it? what is the motivation? it is disgusting- — do it? what is the motivation? it is disgusting- lt _ do it? what is the motivation? it 3 disgusting. it comes down to people not being bothered to use waste recycling centres, they use unlicensed traders and a lot of people just do not care. a unlicensed traders and a lot of peoplejust do not care. a major issue in this country, 20% of all councils do nothing so there are no fines or fixed penalties or prosecutions. it is a postcode lottery about where you live as to who does what if anything. we need a consistent uk—wide approach where we use both the carrot to help consumers find licensed traders and the stick to punish those who do this. unlike some fines issued,

consumers are really, really behind fines for fly—tipping because consumers are really, really behind fines forfly—tipping because no consumers are really, really behind fines for fly—tipping because no one wants it on their doorstep. no one wants it on their doorstep. no one wants the responsibility of having it cleaned up. the damage it does to the environment. people want away to report flies stepping as well as gathering evidence to help prosecute people. —— report fly—tipping. you people. -- report fly-tipping. you sa a lot people. -- report fly-tipping. you say a lot of— people. -- report fly-tipping. you say a lot of it _ people. -- report fly-tipping. you say a lot of it is _ people. —— report fly—tipping. you say a lot of it is down to councils not doing that, is that down to budget restrictions? the government told us throughout the last year they are committed to tackling waste grime and fines are in place. yes. grime and fines are in place. yes, artl , it grime and fines are in place. yes, partly. it is _ grime and fines are in place. yes, partly. it is also — grime and fines are in place. yes, partly, it is also down _ grime and fines are in place. yes, partly, it is also down to - partly, it is also down to resources. a lot of the councils are struggling with resources at the moment but it is cost neutral. if

you've employ more people to open the waste recycling centres to be open longer but if you do nothing to start with, it is a tricky situation. fly—tipping is a massive problem under rises every year. i have been working with a group of mps and we're going to train put legislation through, common sense stuff which will make a real difference. only licensed traders will be able to advertise, they will have a number on the advert. license displayed on vehicles so consumers know that waste is being moved from .80 point b and the system could pull those people over. in the case of alleyways for those people, they should maybe try local litter picking groups to get more help and support because it will cost a lot of money to get that cleaned up. it

is very unfortunate.— is very unfortunate. martin, thank ou ve is very unfortunate. martin, thank you very much _ is very unfortunate. martin, thank you very much for _ is very unfortunate. martin, thank you very much for telling - is very unfortunate. martin, thank you very much for telling us - is very unfortunate. martin, thank you very much for telling us about is very unfortunate. martin, thank i you very much for telling us about a very big problem. those pictures to paint a dismal picture. let us have a look at the big story of the last evening. the champions league final and portugal and what an item was for portugal. yes, what a night it was for chelsea. thomas tuchel taking a lot of plaudits but you have to get excited also by some of the english players. they will be playing in the euros two weeks away so it is an exciting time to be an england fan as well as a chelsea fan. chelsea were crowned champions of europe last night after they beat manchester city 1—nil in porto. manager thomas tuchel at the heart of the celebrations in the dressing room — look at this,. he's built such a strong side since taking over.

tuchel was beaten with paris st—germain in last year's final but he made no mistake with his second chance. i'm almost speechless. i am very, very happy to share this moment with this team, with all the staff, with all the guys who support on an everyday basis in cobham, and the team, it's for them. it's for our team manager, who is at home. it's for him. and it's for my parents and my family and my kids, all in the stadium, so it's fantastic to share. a very humble statement there from torness to chill. —— thomas tuchel. —— thomas tuchel. on the flip side, manchester city's wait for a champions league trophy goes on. there's been plenty of criticism of manager pep guardiola's team selection — he went with a starting 11 he'd never picked before — but he had no regrets. let us move on to our sports correspondent. we can speak to our sports correspondent olly foster in porto. olly — how was the atmosphere there last night? good to see you. the atmosphere in

the stadium was amazing. it felt close to normality, 33% capacity at the stadium, an official allocation of 6000 for each set of fans but it felt football had returned for this huge occasion. we came down to square this morning, a giant inflatable champions league trophy, a great place for a selfie but look at that. there it goes, they took the air out of it in the last half hour. looking about as deflated as some of the manchester city fans. but all the fans who made the effort, chelsea and manchester united, taking pcr tests and rapid flow tests, having to take another pcr test when they get home, of course it was all worth it. the manchester city fans will not be feeling like that this morning but

just like their 2900 manchester united fans who made the effort to go the uefa final, this is what it is all about, having the opportunity to go and follow your team abroad in these huge european finals. this week will show we are taking steps back to proper football and week will show we are taking steps back to properfootball and porto has hosted this champions league final magnificently. they came in to rescue it at short notice, remember, it was supposed to be in istanbul. for chelsea fans, porto will go down in their history. even city fans will say after the year in the pandemic, we went there and give it a good shot. pandemic, we went there and give it a good shot-— a good shot. good to see the atmosphere _ a good shot. good to see the atmosphere down _ a good shot. good to see the atmosphere down there. - a good shot. good to see the i atmosphere down there. there a good shot. good to see the - atmosphere down there. there has been a lot of discussion about tactics of the managers, did gradually get it right? there's a lot of contrast between the two and thomas tuchel seem to get it right?

certainly pep guardiola did not get it right. afterwards he said it was his decision. he had not played that 11 before. there top scorer with 17 goals, playing him in a defensive role. since the turn of the year it is his goals that have driven towards the premier league title but putting him in that role, just a huge hole in the centre of manchester city's midfield. thomas churchill, a masterclass in tactics. their record goal—scorer getting the winnerjust before half—time. thomas tuchel has only been at the club for four months, the first manager to take two different teams to back—to—back champions league finals. what an impact he has had on chelsea, he goes into next season with the european champions. it will

be an interesting season because manchester city finished 19 points ahead of chelsea and chelsea will now know that is their objective, catch up with manchester city. manchester united as well, they will all get stronger as well. roll on next season but what climax we had this year to the season. it next season but what climax we had this year to the season.— this year to the season. it has been indeed. and let's get the reaction of one very happy chelsea fan and broadcaster, we can speak to abbie mccarthy who joins us now. what is it like being a chelsea fan? just the most amazing time to be a chelsea _ just the most amazing time to be a chelsea fan, it still feels surreal but i _ chelsea fan, it still feels surreal but i am — chelsea fan, it still feels surreal but i am so _ chelsea fan, it still feels surreal but i am so happy we did it, we are champions— but i am so happy we did it, we are champions of europe.— champions of europe. absolutely. second time _ champions of europe. absolutely. second time you _ champions of europe. absolutely. second time you have _ champions of europe. absolutely. second time you have done - champions of europe. absolutely. second time you have done it, i champions of europe. absolutely. | second time you have done it, can you remember the first time, how does it compare? the you remember the first time, how does it compare?— you remember the first time, how does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- — does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- we _ does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- we have _ does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- we have done _ does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- we have done again - does it compare? the fact we can say we keep -- we have done again is i we keep —— we have done again is unbelievable. there are such parallels _ unbelievable. there are such parallels which we have got excited about _ parallels which we have got excited about as _ parallels which we have got excited about as being fans. the underdog in

plenty of it. it will stay with us today and bank holiday monday and into tuesday, the beginning ofjune. an update in a moment but as you can see, beautifulskies an update in a moment but as you can see, beautiful skies in berwick. also lovely in wales, perfect day for an afternoon hike. there have been a little bit of low cloud, mist and fog around but we are still under the influence of high pressure and it will remain, light winds across the country. sunshine as you can see on the west. low cloud rolling in from the north sea overnight but like yesterday we are optimistic it will burn away in the afternoon. still the risk although a very small risk of an isolated shower propping up in southern scotland but with that sunshine, the highest temperatures further west 21-23 . highest temperatures further west 21—23 . generally, as we move through the evening, we will see

more cloud pushing in of the north sea again but it will be a quiet night, comfortable for getting a good night sleep. temperatures holding in double figures in the north—west. lots of shunt shine starting the next day. the breeze changes direction, coming from the south—east dragging and warm here from the continent. temperatures are likely to be a degree or so up in comparison to today. maybe 2a—hour 25 celsius to close out the month of may. start ofjune is quite promising, warm and sunny to begin with but there is the risk of thunder showers, especially in the south through the middle of the week but lots of dry and sunny weather for many of us. this frontal patient the south—west, uncertain weather it will be sitting and where the showers will be sitting. —— this front will push into the south—west.

the further west you are, showers will increase through wednesday and thursday. temperatures will ease down, the peak is tuesday or wednesday onwards, getting a little fresher. further east, you might escape the showers and a drier week. temperatures around 2a25 might be too high for you so something for everyone in the forecast. dry and settled, a few showers and then getting a little bit less hot. h getting a little bit less hot. i hope you get time to enjoy it. getting a little bit less hot. i - hope you get time to enjoy it. you hope you get time to en'oy it. you are not working? _ hope you get time to enjoy it. you are not working? no, iam off are not working? no, i am off tomorrow in the garden doing a bit of weeding. tomorrow in the garden doing a bit of weeding-— thank you very much. we've heard a lot about finding new ways to keep ourselves busy over the past year or so — but steve waller had no dubbed the michelangelo of middlesbrough, he's spent

the last 9 years creating a model version of old town — a task which involved hand—painting a million miniature roof tiles. he joins us now to tell us more. what a project. what was the motivation?— what a project. what was the motivation? ., . ., , motivation? right, the motivation is actually bizarre _ motivation? right, the motivation is actually bizarre really, _ motivation? right, the motivation is actually bizarre really, i— motivation? right, the motivation is actually bizarre really, i had - motivation? right, the motivation is actually bizarre really, i had a - actually bizarre really, i had a cricket injury so i was laid up in a guitarist in victoria road. i was thinking about my great uncle who was killed on the battle of the song because it was the millennium. he died on the 11th of sorry 17th of september which was in the great war. —— somme. anyway i was curious to think about where he walked through the town before he went to france

when he left middlesbrough. that was the inspiration. i put some plans on the inspiration. i put some plans on the table and started plotting with matchboxes, building in 3d which fascinated me and gave it a bit more mystique. itjust kept going from there. i redeveloped it, i started making terraced houses. it fascinated me how an object could change the whole aspect of everything. that is how it started. this is where we are at now. it is this is where we are at now. it is magnificent- _ this is where we are at now. it is magnificent. it _ this is where we are at now. it is magnificent. it is _ this is where we are at now. it is magnificent. it is huge. he spent nine years on that, how much time have you spent on a daily basis to get to where you are now well, it varies.

mother so i was combining the two together. i would say the average would be 12 hours a day. it is like a frankenstein monster, it has got a bit out of control. but it will soon be all over, another year and that's it, i walk away and donated to middlesbrough council. to it, i walk away and donated to middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws _ middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws line, _ middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws line, we _ middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws line, we are _ middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws line, we are going - middlesbrough council. to coin the famous jaws line, we are going to l famous jaws line, we are going to need a bigger boat, you're going to need a bigger boat, you're going to need a bigger boat, you're going to need a completely new rim because thatis need a completely new rim because that is taking up most of it at the moment? ~ ., that is taking up most of it at the moment? ~ . ., ., moment? well, at the moment i would 'ust like to moment? well, at the moment i would just like to see — moment? well, at the moment i would just like to see a _ moment? well, at the moment i would just like to see a big _ moment? well, at the moment i would just like to see a big thanks _ moment? well, at the moment i would just like to see a big thanks to - just like to see a big thanks to kevin kylie who promoted the model and opened doors for me and andrew. i would like to thank them at the point —— at this point. i thank them

different to hartlepool town. —— head land. it is fascinating to talk about these people who were born what we call over the border. the theory is because of the railway line which cut—off the town from the rest of the new town so it was called over the border. the people are slightly different, you know. more communal. i remember the old days and when this time was flattened, the money moved out of the town, these people became like a lost tribe. you still meet them. so i think building this model will capture that time for ever and that is what has really inspired me i suppose. is what has really inspired me i su ose. ,, . ~ i. is what has really inspired me i su ose. ,, . ~ . suppose. steve, thank you so much for our suppose. steve, thank you so much for your time. _ suppose. steve, thank you so much for your time, good _ suppose. steve, thank you so much for your time, good luck _ suppose. steve, thank you so much for your time, good luck for - suppose. steve, thank you so much for your time, good luck for the - for your time, good luck for the rest of the project. we appreciate you speaking to us. most of us have curtailed our

travel plans this year but a walrus who was spotted in ireland, wales and cornwall has now moved on again — to france. nicknamed "wally", he's become a social media star and can draw a crowd — but is he safe? let's ask lucy babey, from the marine charity orca. thank you also for coming on, is he happy, do we know? that thank you also for coming on, is he happy. do we know?— happy, do we know? that is a good cuestion. happy, do we know? that is a good question- we _ happy, do we know? that is a good question. we do _ happy, do we know? that is a good question. we do like _ happy, do we know? that is a good question. we do like to _ happy, do we know? that is a good question. we do like to reflect - happy, do we know? that is a good question. we do like to reflect our| question. we do like to reflect our own emotions on animals but we do know wally is behaving like a normal walrus which is a really good sign. he is swimming around, resting. walruses will rest for 25% of their time. down on the rocks in france. he seems to be feeding and foraging, swimming well so i would say he is a happy walrus at the moment. he is a

back to the arctic. so we hope for the sake of wally, he gets himself back to where he belongs so he can breed and also, this animal has adapted to live in really cold climates and our summer is coming so with that thick blubber layer to insulative him against cold, he needs to start going north surely? he has adapted to lower temperatures, is he in a safe environment?— temperatures, is he in a safe environment? these animals are alwa s at environment? these animals are always at risk — environment? these animals are always at risk from _ environment? these animals are always at risk from multiple - always at risk from multiple pressures. in the last couple of days the possibility has cropped up he might be hit by a boat. that has been refuted, the injury he got was from getting out onto rocks but getting hit by boats is probably the biggest risk to this animal. as our waterways are getting busier with

people going to shore lines much more, out and about on the water, that risk obviously increases for this animal. in the arctic, they are not used to as much marine traffic as we have down here so this is something we need to keep an ion and people need to be very aware of this, not to disturb the animal and keep a distance. it is this, not to disturb the animal and keep a distance.— keep a distance. it is not straightforward - keep a distance. it is not straightforward as - keep a distance. it is not| straightforward as people keep a distance. it is not - straightforward as people might think. tell me what walruses are like. , . . . , think. tell me what walruses are like. . ~ like. they are huge mammals. an aduu like. they are huge mammals. an adult male _ like. they are huge mammals. an adult male can _ like. they are huge mammals. an adult male can be _ like. they are huge mammals. an adult male can be well _ like. they are huge mammals. an adult male can be well over- like. they are huge mammals. an adult male can be well over a - like. they are huge mammals. an i adult male can be well over a tonne, three metres in length, they live quite as slow—paced life. they have their breeding time which is just around now actually. they breed in the late winter. the females would be giving birth at the moment. in the summer, the males and females separate. they do not stay together,

there are individual groups. they like the ice and rely on the ice and we do not have that down here. they prefer to rest on the ice. they feed on mollusks. wally is in his perfect habitat with shallow water and mud and sand on the bottom here in the uk with lots of different mollusks to feed on. if uk with lots of different mollusks to feed on. i. uk with lots of different mollusks to feed om— uk with lots of different mollusks to feed on. i. . ., , ., to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, _ to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, where _ to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, where do _ to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, where do you - to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, where do you go? i to feed on. if you want to see one in the flesh, where do you go? so to feed on. if you want to see one i in the flesh, where do you go? so in the articles — in the flesh, where do you go? so in the articles were _ in the flesh, where do you go? so in the articles were you _ in the flesh, where do you go? ’ir “i the articles were you going in the flesh, where do you go? 5r “i the articles were you going to see the articles were you going to see the walrus. this species is an arctic walrus which ranges from eastern canada right to russia, and individual groups and areas, greenland and in svalbard does well. you also have the pacific walrus, still found in the artic bar on the pacific side so if you want to see one in the wild, that is the best place to go and see them but we are

fortunate enough and some people have been incredibly lucky to see wally the walrus but we must do it from a safe distance. not to disturb him and make sure he has all his energy reserves to be able to travel back to the arctic where he belongs. that is fantastic, thank you very much for coming on, i hope you have a pleasant weekend and some time off as well. i am looking forward to some time off. that's all from breakfast today — roger and sally will be with you from six o'clock tomorrow. have a great sunday.
