carried out nearly two million tasks for those who had to stay at home during the coronavirus pandemic. this included phone calls to the isolated, delivering medicines and stewarding covid vaccination sites. duncan kennedy reports. britain was already a nation of volunteers, but covid—19 has supercharged the desire in people to help. a giant task force of unpaid individuals has been mobilized. you'll feel a small scratch. 7a,000 people alone have been signed up to support the nhs roll—out of its vaccination programme. giving something back to the nhs for all the wonderful work that they've been doing through the lockdown, and how busy they've been. and it's just been so rewarding to know that you can help somebody that needs your help. most volunteering has been channelled through the nhs

volunteer responders programme, set up at the start of the pandemic. today's figures show it's had 436,400 recruits, who've carried out 1.9 million tasks. that includes 14,5000 lifts to and from hospitals, and more than 800,000 check in and chats on people who are lonely or isolated. hundreds of volunteers will today be at twickenham rugby stadium in london. this is being turned into england's biggest vaccination centre. there's still about one in ten of our population who are older, who haven't been vaccinated and therefore unprotected. so it doesn't really matter which variant it is. they could still get the virus and still become seriously unwell. a separate report from the london school of economics has found the volunteers get a real boost to their sense of well—being, equivalent to receiving a bonus of £1,800. duncan kennedy, bbc news.

france has tightened restrictions on travel from the uk, to try to stop the spread of the india variant of coronavirus. new rules came into force at midnight, meaning british tourists will not be allowed in. france is currently listed as an amber destination by the uk government, which advises against travel there. hundreds of afghans who worked for the british military and at its embassy in kabul, will be rapidly relocated, with many expected to be resettled in the uk. the decision comes amid fears for their safety, as international troops prepare to leave the country and the security situation deteriorates. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. afghan interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat in helmand until 2014. though some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind, and are now living in real danger,

with their old employers soon about to leave for good. the departure of all us, british and nato forces is under way. and there are growing concerns that those who work for them will be targeted by the taliban. so the government's agreed a new programme to bring hundreds more back to britain for safety. along with their immediate families, it could mean more than 3,000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk. with the western powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing and has increased with targeted attacks against afghans by the taliban. so, we think it's the right thing to do, to stand by these people. they sacrificed a lot to look after us, and now we're going to do the same. the defence and home secretaries, seen here last year meeting some of the afghans who've already resettled in the uk, say it's a moral obligation to look after them. but it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of the military withdrawal. the last of the 750 british

troops in kabul are due to leave in september, and it's yet clear where these afghan families will be resettled in the uk. jonathan beale, bbc news. three men have been stabbed on formby beach north of liverpool. they were taken to hospital by airambulance for treatment yesterday evening. merseyside police believe the attacks are linked, but are keeping an open mind about the motives. a temporary ban on bailiff—enforced evictions introduced in england at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, comes to an end today. charities say 400,000 tenants have already received eviction notices, or been told to expect them, as our business correspondent katy austin reports. rudolph was made redundant last year. £3,000 behind on rent, the fear his landlord could soon try to evict him, keeps him awake at night. it's affecting my health. so if would have any kind of security, maybe

another eviction ban, or maybe a promise from my landlord to say that i won't evict you until we get a fix for this, i would be actually able to sleep. despite the emergency financial support that's been available over the past year, one charity says widespread concerns remain. we found that a million households are worried about being evicted over the coming three months after the ban comes to an end. we've seen that some households are a lot more worried than others. so bme renters, families with children, those on low incomes, and those who've seen an income fall during the pandemic. landlords warn the eviction ban has caused delays removing tenants with pre—existing problems, but they say they've tried to help people affected by the pandemic. sue is letting a family gradually pay back thousands they couldn't afford in the first lockdown, which affects her too.

when they can't pay their rent, i have to pay the mortgage on that property, which is part and parcel of the risk of being a landlady. but also, their rent not only pays the mortgage, but it gives me surplus, and that's my income. the government says tenants will continue to be supported, including with longer than usual notice periods. housing and landlords groups both want more done to stop covid—related rent debts putting tenancies in doubt. katy austin, bbc news. climbing mount everest is a huge achievement for anyone. but a former teacher is returning from the challenge with extra bragging rights. tsang yin hung hasjust become the fastest woman to reach the top. the 45—year—old, from hong kong, did it injust under 26 hours — beating the previous record by half a day. it isa it is a terrific achievement. half a da ?! it is a terrific achievement. half a day?! she _ it is a terrific achievement. half a day?! she definitely _ it is a terrific achievement. half a day?! she definitely wins. - it is a terrific achievement. half a day?! she definitely wins. she i it is a terrific achievement. half a i day?! she definitely wins. she used a 'et ack.

so far. it will be cooler where we cling onto that cloud along the north sea coastline, particularly around aberdeenshire. through this evening and overnight, we will see a return to that low cloud, mist and fog coming in. it will drift on land across eastern and north—eastern parts. there will be clear skies around as well. generally speaking, it is not going to be a cold night. most of us are going to stay in double figures. so like today, we start off with that low cloud, mist and fog. it burns back towards the north sea coastline, where some of it will linger. for the rest of the uk, that of dry weather, sunshine. in the west of the sunshine turning hazy. we could see the odd isolated shower across parts of scotland and northern ireland. most of us won't. most of us will stay dry. temperatures tomorrow could be higher than today. 25, possibly 26 somewhere. so as we head into the rest of the week, it turns a little bit more and for some. but the

temperatures are still above average. so if we get the hottest day of the year today, so if we get the hottest day of the yeartoday, it so if we get the hottest day of the year today, it could tumble tomorrow?— year today, it could tumble tomorrow? ~ , tomorrow? absolutely, it could. thank you _ tomorrow? absolutely, it could. thank you. exciting. _ new rules designed to reduce the number of fake whiplash claims have come into force in england and wales. the government says the changes will help save the average motorist around £35,000 a year on their insurance premiums, as will batchelor reports. more than 80% of all personal injury claims for road traffic accidents last year, were related to whiplash — over half a million of them. a rise in fraud has been blamed for driving up the figures, even as the number of crashes has fallen. sadly, a number of them, frankly, that have been fraudulent claims, and that's resulted in an increase in premiums for all of us. that's not good for road users, and it's certainly not good in terms of the reputation of the insurance industry. and that's why i think

the new online system, dealing with those smaller claims, will help root out fraud and help reduce premiums for all of us. people can use a new online portal for claims of less than £5,000. it's meant to simplify the process and remove the need for expensive lawyers. medical evidence will now be required in whiplash cases. the trade body for insurers said motorists will see cheaper premiums as a result. the government says the changes will stop those looking for an easy payday abusing the system, while ordinary drivers pay the price. will batchelor, bbc news. let's speak to malcolm tarling from the association of british insurers. morning to you. can you tell me why these changes are going to help drivers? i these changes are going to help drivers? ~ these changes are going to help drivers? ,, , ., drivers? i think your vt said it all. drivers? i think your vt said it all- over _ drivers? i think your vt said it all. over the _ drivers? i think your vt said it all. over the last _ drivers? i think your vt said it all. over the last decade - drivers? i think your vt said it all. over the last decade we i drivers? i think your vt said it. all. over the last decade we have seen _ all. over the last decade we have seen a _ all. over the last decade we have seen a steady rise in whiplash -reiated — seen a steady rise in whiplash —related claims, a so—called whiplash _ —related claims, a so—called whiplash epidemic. it is very

my name is richard cottingham. i'm richard cottingham. but i like to be called richie. finding his voice has been an emotional experience for richie cottingham. it made me cry on tuesday, when i heard it for the very first time, many happy tears. richie, who's 26 and has cerebral palsy, said he was fed up with the american accent his speech aid gave him, because it didn't match his identity. so, he asked people with east yorkshire accents to come forward to record their voices for him. and more than 35 men, who were from the area around his home of howden, did just that. i'm richard cottingham. hi, i'm richard cottingham. but i like to be called richie. three were blended together to make richie's final unique voice. now i am a yorkshireman, not an american. it means i can communicate with my own voice. what do you think — is that the one? yes, i think that's the one!

i think we've got it! it is a unique blend, yeah. so the technology that they use is really clever. it's taken bits of the different three voices and blended them together to make a completely new voice. so, as richie and i have discussed, he doesn't sound like any of the original three donors. the voice that he's got is completely brand new and unique to him, and will stay that way. i think everything that we do with communication has the power to be transformative. it's taken just two months for richie to find his voice, and now, it'll last a lifetime. it feels awesome and i love it. everyone has been really excited and can't wait to hear it. i think it will take people time to get used to hearing the new me. many thanks to everyone for their support. it means so much. if you see me out and about, please come and say hello and hear my new voice for yourselves. alison freeman, bbc news. such a lovely story. isn't that brilliant? _ such a lovely story. isn't that brilliant? great _ such a lovely story. isn't that

her refusal to speak to the press is to protect her mental health, she says — a stance that has divided opinion. her extraordinary talent, though, is quite beyond debate. already a global sporting icon, but yet to prove herself on clay. against romania's patricia maria tig, she was forced to fight but ultimately found her feet. through to the second round without serious concern — at least not on court. good to her word, not a word to the press afterwards — prompting tournament organisers to find her $15,000, saying... i totally respect her decision, as everyone's had different experiences with the press and everyone's had press conferences where i'm sure they've not felt the best coming out of it.

but i've always taken the opinion that it is part of the job. osaka tweeted. .. she may not be speaking to the media, but naomi osaka isn't going away quietly either. adam wild, bbc news. meanwhile, it was a day to forget for british number one dan evans. he was knocked out by world number 48 miomir kecmanovic, despite winning the first set 6—1. but the serb hit back to win the next three sets, and leaves evans still searching for a first singles win at roland garros. elsewhere, two—time finalist dominic thiem was also knocked out. chelsea manager thomas tuchel has challenged his players to maintain their hunger after winning the champions league final against manchester city on saturday. chelsea flew back to london from porto after their 1—0 victory, with a special visitor on board, and the party continued back at their cobham training ground.

gave tourism a much needed boost. it's been a while since the sounds of a busy seaside filled the town. we had... we went to the shops, we had dinner, and now we're on the beach. and then we're going to go to the machine, the arcade. and we're leaving at eight. this bank holiday's turned out to be a boost. and it needed it, didn't it? it definitely needed it. i mean, now the restrictions have eased a little bit, people are coming out at last. they reckon one in three families will be holidaying in the uk this bank holiday, which is good for us, good for all the trade in skeg, mablethorpe and cleethorpes. i can vouch for every resort. they're all doing well. john's family have offered donkey rides here since the first world war. he plans to pass the business on to future generations. well, you think, when you look back at the old photographs of sailors riding donkeys,

coming to the port of grimsby, you know, on shore leave in the war, and now we all got shut down through, you know, a virus. they carried through the war, so i've carried on through the virus. around four million visitors come to skegness every year. jobs here depend on the recovery of tourism. ithink, you know, people are enjoying, and it's nice to see people back to skeggy. it looks beautiful. and you can see, i think, everything will be all right. the uk's got to be back and, you know, support the country, and that's how it's got to be. and it's brilliant. i'd rather people stay here than go out, then bring the virus back in. i'm trying to get one of them, not all of the coins. it's the first day out since lockdown started a year last march, with grandchildren. what's it like to be back out with the kids? lovely. well, they've grown so much.

we've missed so much. with indoor entertainment now open, the arcades were busy. at the pier this new space welcomed its first bank holiday visitors. i've been in the leisure industry a long time, and this is the hardest 12 months i've ever known, obviously. it's greatjust to see people about again. you know, there's nothing quite like seeing a family of kids enjoying themselves and people smiling. it's recognition for the hard work that everyone in leisure puts in. restaurants and bars benefited from indoor eating and drinking. this fish and chip shop got through three tonnes of potatoes. it's been manic, absolutely manic. i mean, i know it's a bank holiday, but this is sort of a double whammy. but this is sort of a double whammy bank holiday all in one go. it's been busier than what we ever expected. it's such a big relief. you know, with all this covid going on last year, every business, you know, took a hit on the resort.

but i mean, today, it's probably made up for a lot of missed days, i suppose. so, yeah. i mean, we've been nonstop since we open our doors at 10.30 this morning. for many here, it's been the most normal spring bank holiday in two years. businesses in the resort hope today will be just the same. we will be just the same. are joined by claire draper a the we are joined by claire draper and the company that recently bought skegness pier. you have some pretty ambitious plans. tell us. brute skegness pier. you have some pretty ambitious plans. tell us.— ambitious plans. tell us. we have. we bought — ambitious plans. tell us. we have. we bought the _ ambitious plans. tell us. we have. we bought the pier _ ambitious plans. tell us. we have. we bought the pier in _ ambitious plans. tell us. we have. we bought the pier in early - ambitious plans. tell us. we have. i we bought the pier in early february and we _ we bought the pier in early february and we have already spent over £1 million _ and we have already spent over £1 million refurbishing the inside. some — million refurbishing the inside. some work still to be completed in their and _ some work still to be completed in their and we have some big plans for their and we have some big plans for the pier— their and we have some big plans for the pier itself. i know a lot of the locals _ the pier itself. i know a lot of the locals are — the pier itself. i know a lot of the locals are keen to understand whether— locals are keen to understand whether we will extend it and we are already— whether we will extend it and we are already looking into that in quite some _ already looking into that in quite some detail so exciting things happening. some detail so exciting things happening-— happening. says part of the refurbishment _ happening. says part of the refurbishment opened - happening. says part of the - refurbishment opened recently, this is a good test, the bank holiday. it is a good test, the bank holiday. it was. we have been tested. we have

where we have the low cloud, for example in scarborough, and the mist coming overfrom the north sea, temperatures are that bit lower so it is cooler. most today will have a warm and sunny day. quite a bit of cloud at the moment across central and eastern parts of england and the north—east of scotland. this cloud is a weather front to the west, turning the sunshine in the west hazy. will not come our way properly until tomorrow. today we have light suddenly resist the day we will find all the files we currently have across central and eastern england and north—east scotland will bend like towards the north sea coastline, where some of it will linger, particularly cell around aberdeenshire, rather like as it was not inland through the day we will see more affair with a cloud develop, turning the sunshine hazy at times but no more than that. uv levels are high or at very high. very high in the south, so something to be aware of if you are spending

any time in the sunshine. we can see temperatures getting up to about 24 degrees, it may be a little bit more. if it gets higher than 24.5 it will be the warmest day of this year so far. cooler along the north sea coastline, where we hang on to the low cloud. if you are tempted to go into the sea it is still need it. you will be braver than me. these are the sea temperatures. eight to 12, maybe 13 degrees. a lot colder than your! this evening and overnight, retains all the low cloud, mist and fog coming in from the north sea. our weather and start to advance a bit more in towards western areas but whichever way you look at it it will not be a cold night. here is our weatherfront on tuesday, slowly coming in, bumping into a ridge of high pressure not going anywhere particularly quickly is not particularly strong. after a cloudy site inland you can see how it pushes back once again towards

the north sea. again, it could just linger in some parts for much of the day. for most, a dry day, sunny day, there is the risk of an isolated shower getting in across scotland and northern ireland but most will stay dry. tomorrow we could hit 25, maybe 26 degrees. it will be warmer than today. we expect it to be the warmest day of the year so far tomorrow. incidentally yesterday northern ireland, wales and scotland all had their warmest days of the year so far, but not in england. as we head on into wednesday, is still a lot of dry weather around, a lot of sunshine. chance of showers across the south—west, getting into northern ireland, south wales, could be thundery, temperatures are still on the high side for earlyjune. that is great to hear. thank you very much, we will see you later. a year ago mick cullen walked from john o'groats to lands end wearing nothing but a pair of swimming trunks — earning himself the name "speedo mick" and raising half a million pounds to help

clears very quickly, and then it's dry, sunny and warm today with temperatures easily in the low 20s celsius. we could see 23 or 24 degrees — into the mid 70s in fahrenheit. overnight tonight, not quite as chilly as the last couple of nights — in suburbs temperatures have been falling down to mid single figures. got that warmer air with us — again, you couldn't rule out a little bit of low cloud here and there, but generally temperatures will be a few degrees up on what we have seen through the weekend to start your tuesday. and it's another dry, sunny and warm for tuesday and for wednesday, too — temperatures comfortably in the mid 20s celsius on wednesday. there's a potential somewhere could see 25 or 26 degrees — that's the high 70s in fahrenheit. when does a breakdown come? perhaps towards the end of the week, into next weekend. there's more form me in half an hour. now it's back to roger and sally. bye for now. good morning, welcome

most volunteering has been channelled through the nhs volunteer responders programme, set up at the start of the pandemic. today's figures show it's had 436,000 recruits, who've carried out 1.9 million tasks. that includes 14,500 lifts to and from hospitals, and more than 800,000 check in and chats on people who are lonely or isolated. a separate report from the london school of economics has found the volunteers get a real boost to their sense of well—being, equivalent to receiving a bonus of £1800. duncan kennedy, bbc news. france has tightened restrictions on travel from the uk, to try to stop the spread of the india variant of coronavirus. new rules came into force at midnight, meaning british tourists will not

be allowed in. france is currently listed as an amber destination by the uk government, which advises against travel there. hundreds of afghans who worked for the british military and at its embassy in kabul will be rapidly relocated, with many expected to be resettled in the uk. the decision comes amid fears for their safety, as international troops prepare to leave the country and the security situation deteriorates. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. afghan interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat in helmand until 2014. though some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind, and are now living in real danger, with their old employers soon about to leave for good. the departure of all us, british and nato forces is under way. and there are growing concerns that those who work for them will be targeted by the taliban. so the government's agreed

a new programme to bring hundreds more back to britain for safety. along with their immediate families, it could mean more than 3,000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk. with the western powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing and has increased with targeted attacks against afghans by the taliban. so, we think it's the right thing to do, to stand by these people. they sacrificed a lot to look after us, and now we're going to do the same. the defence and home secretaries, seen here last year meeting some of the afghans who've already resettled in the uk, say it's a moral obligation to look after them. but it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of the military withdrawal. the last of the 750 british troops in kabul are due to leave in september, and it's yet clear where these afghan families will be resettled in the uk. jonathan beale, bbc news. three men have been stabbed on formby beach north of liverpool. they were taken to hospital by air ambulance

for treatment yesterday evening. merseyside police believe the attacks are linked, but are keeping an open mind about the motives. a temporary ban on bailiff—enforced evictions introduced in england at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, comes to an end today. charities say 400,000 tenants have already received eviction notices, or been told to expect them, as our business correspondent katy austin reports. rudolf was made redundant last year. £3,000 behind on rent, the fear his landlord could soon try to evict him, keeps him awake at night. it's affecting my health. so if would have any kind of security, maybe another eviction ban, or maybe a promise from my landlord to say that i won't evict you until we get a fix for this, i would be actually able to sleep. despite the emergency financial support that's been available over the past year, one charity says widespread concerns remain.

we found that a million households are worried about being evicted over the coming three months after the ban comes to an end. we've seen that some households are a lot more worried than others. so bme renters, families with children, those on low incomes, and those who've seen an income fall during the pandemic. landlords warn the eviction ban has caused delays removing tenants with pre—existing problems, but they say they've tried to help people affected by the pandemic. sue is letting a family gradually pay back thousands they couldn't afford in the first lockdown, which affects her too. when they can't pay their rent, i have to pay the mortgage on that property, which is part and parcel of the risk of being a landlady. but also, their rent not only pays the mortgage, but it gives me surplus, and that's my income. the government says tenants will continue to be supported, including with longer than usual notice periods. housing and landlords groups both want more done to stop covid—related rent debts putting tenancies in doubt. katy austin, bbc news.

if you're not really looking forward to the return of crowds, or getting back to the rat race, then this could be the job for you. trying to get rid of me already! a remote and uninhabited scottish island is looking for a resident caretaker. isle martin, near ullapool, has no full—time residents, but needs someone to keep the island in shape for visitors this summer. it boasts two beaches, a micro museum — in a hut — and some great birdwatching. and peace and quiet. i think it looks idyllic but i would probably drive myself mad after about three days. i don't think i would last a week. ~ ., days. i don't think i would last a week. . ., ., ., ., ., days. i don't think i would last a week. ., ., ., ., ., ., ., ~ week. we are going to go to carol. a ruick look week. we are going to go to carol. a quick look at — week. we are going to go to carol. a quick look at the _ week. we are going to go to carol. a quick look at the view _ week. we are going to go to carol. a quick look at the view from - week. we are going to go to carol. a quick look at the view from our i quick look at the view from our window. blue skies. doesn't happen very often in this part of the

southern england, to the midlands and the south—east also having all that sunshine as we go through the course of the day. this by no means are we all going to have this low cloud. it will be fairly patchy. temperatures getting up to 24 degrees. if we hit a 24.5 it would be the one estate so far this year. yesterday, scotland, northern ireland and wales had their warmest day of the year so far. temperatures between 23 and 24 degrees. through this evening and overnight it is almost a repeat performance. we have got all this low cloud, mist and fog. that will be coming in from the north sea and land. a weather front bringing more cloud to the west. either way it is not going to be a cold night. most of us again staying in double figures. tomorrow then, all that low cloud, mist and fog burns back to the north sea coastline, where some of it will linger. this weather front will bring in more cloud to the west. you

could catch the odd isolated share in scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow temperatures could be a bit higher than today. wow. look forward to that. thank you. let's go back to bolton, where there's a big push this week to get more people vaccinated against covid—19. a new vaccine centre's been set up there for the duration of half term, as health bosses try to slow the spread of the indian variant. dr helen wall is in charge of the town's vaccination programme — shejoins us now. good morning to you. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. bolton was at the top of the table for numbers of cases in the country. how are things at the moment there? well, i'm pleased to report that things— well, i'm pleased to report that things are — well, i'm pleased to report that things are starting to slow in terms of the _ things are starting to slow in terms of the rise — things are starting to slow in terms of the rise here in covid cases, but we really— of the rise here in covid cases, but

air—raid sirens blast across east london. hundreds hurry to bethnal green tube station — a bomb shelter at the time. no—one was on duty, and only one door was open. some people panicked. and, course, you know, if you're panicking... a lady with a baby tripped, and that's when the disaster happened. and 173 of us was caught up in that accident. crowds piled into the shelter. unbeknown to them, the alarm was a test. it was an awful night. it was raining, it was cold. it was... it was absolutely awful. and the steps were slippery. and that's what happened — someone slipped on the stairs and, course, they can't get up in time.

then people went over and over. and they was piled from the steps down below, to the ceiling. margaret mckay was only six months old. she was being carried down the stairs by her mother. i don't know what part — she was at the bottom, middle or top — i don't know where, because everybody was just. . .you know, in a big huddle. mum held me up, where a lot of mums put their baby in the steps. but mum held me up and it was pc penn that was passing, and came down to help. and he said to mum, "if you're going to die, lady, pass me your baby." so between mum and thomas penn, they saved me. margaret survived, but her mother died alongside 83 women,

62 children, and 27 men. marked by a memorial next to the station, this was the uk's largest single loss of civilian life during world war two. many who knew about that night were told to keep quiet — a government cover—up — fearful it could damage public morale. it meant margaret didn't find out about her mother until much later in life. her and her husband went to find her grave. the stones are broken. it... the grass is knee—hi... oh, i don't know. really... and it was really untidy. margaret's mother is buried alongside many other victims of the disaster here in east london. but after 75 years, some cemeteries like this one are legally allowed to remound the graves — effectively building new graves on top of the old ones.

but relatives say they still come here to visit their loved ones, and some graves have historical importance. just metres from those killed in the bethnal green disaster marked with green tape lies sarah dearman — a women's rights pioneer who helped change british working conditions forever. i think it was a landmark change in labour history. i think that, you know, workers today really have the matchgirls to thank for, you know, the working rights that they have because they were the ones that first decided to stand up and say, "no, this is not good enough — we're not working under these conditions." despite her great—granddaughter�*s campaigning, sarah's grave is one of those due to be remounded. the law, as it stands, says that this can happen after 75 years. my father — he's in his 80s — but he sarah's grandson, and he remembers her. and so, for him, it would remove

the right for him to go and visit his own grandparent. and i think that when people are in — particularly in living memory — i think it's just too soon. it's obviously made worse by the fact that sarah is in a kind of pauper�*s public area. but that kind of doesn't feel fair either — why should people who had less money be just mounded over and forgotten? manor park cemetery says those public graves are buried in land it privately owns, and with burial space in short supply it's acting within the guidelines with the utmost care and sensitivity. but for margaret, who feels like she's onlyjust been reunited with her mother... it makes my blood crawl.. i don't like it at all. you just can't take people away from people. it's got to be changed — the law's got to be changed.

that's mum and i... the government says it's reviewing its guidelines, but that will take time — and, with remounding due imminently, that time for some is running out. frankie mccamley, bbc news. 26 minutes past seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where good morning, i'm sonja jessup. the family of a florist who was stabbed to death near his stall in islington on saturday say he was "loved by everybody" in the community. tony eastlake had sold flowers near essex road station since he was iii years old. police say there are reports he'd been involved in a row with another man before the attack, and say they're investigating several possible motives. there's been a sharp rise in the number of street

robbies in the west end as coronavirus restrictions continue to ease. the met says people are being targeted for their mobile phones by young men on bikes and scooters. they say they're clamping down on offenders — but are also urging the public to be more aware of their surroundings. whether you're coming out of a train station or a shop, whether you are searching for an item that you've just seen in a shop, the natural instinct is to just come out of the shop, look down and not be aware of your surroundings. and sometimes, very frequently, that involves wireless headphones, so even more sort of lack of awareness of your surroundings. so if you are coming out of a store, coming out of a tube station, to look up, look out around you, before you get the head down and use your phone. brentford football club's manager says it might take a while for the reality of promotion to the premier league to sink in. the bees are back in the top flight for the first time in 7a years after they beat swansea at wembley on saturday. thomas frank says they're an example to follow for clubs around the world. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of bank holiday restrictions on the tube. there's no circle or hammersmith

& city line at all. the district line is shut between west ham, edgware road and wimbledon; and kensington olympia, richmond and ealing broadway. the metropolitan line closed between chalfont & latimer and amersham. and the 0verground is closed between highbury & islington and shadwell. not too much happening on the roads this morning — in fact, look at the blackwall tunnel — not often you see it like that. just some roadworks around — in new southgate on the north circularjust to the south of the bowes road interchange — wilmer way is down to one lane southbound. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning. a bank holiday monday with plenty of sunshine and warmth and staying dry — that's what we've got on the cards for the day today. a little bit of early mist here and there, like we saw through the weekend, but not as extensive, clears very quickly, and then it's dry, sunny and warm today with temperatures easily in the low 20s celsius. we could see 23 or 2a degrees — into the mid 70s in fahrenheit.

overnight tonight, not quite as chilly as the last couple of nights — in suburbs temperatures have been falling down to mid single figures. got that warmer air with us — again, you couldn't rule out a little bit of low cloud here and there, but generally temperatures will be a few degrees up on what we have seen through the weekend to start your tuesday. and it's another dry, sunny and warm for tuesday and for wednesday, too — temperatures comfortably in the mid 20s celsius on wednesday. there's a potential somewhere could see 25 or 26 degrees — that's the high 70s in fahrenheit. when does a breakdown come? perhaps towards the end of the week, into next weekend. there's more form me in an hour — lots more, too, on our website — now it's back to roger and sally. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. the vaccine rollout in england is set for another big week

as twickenham rugby stadium is converted into a mass vaccination centre. ministers want to give all over—50s a second dose by the date england's remaining restrictions could be lifted. let's speak to gp dr nighat arif. morning, lovely to see you, nighat. we are seeing this extra polish at the moment, the twickenham report today, vaccination centres being left open as long as possible, very much encouraging people to come forward and that is because of this concern over the june forward and that is because of this concern over thejune 21 date. what do you make of this? irate concern over the june 21 date. what do you make of this?— do you make of this? we have been vaccinating — do you make of this? we have been vaccinating out _ do you make of this? we have been vaccinating out of _ do you make of this? we have been vaccinating out of not _ do you make of this? we have been vaccinating out of not fit _ do you make of this? we have been vaccinating out of not fit for - vaccinating out of not fit for purpose buildings, mosques, synagogues, community centres, stadiums, up and down the country have been used in a way to get it vaccination programme up to speed. 29.4 million people have had two doses of the vaccine and we know

from the data last week that if you have two doses of the vaccine making, the variant. we have 9000 cases of the disease macromedia variant that we need to be making sure that we keep those various deliveries it low. the pfizer vaccine, if you get two doses at that, 80% coverage against the indian variant. astrazeneca 60%, which shows having two doses is really important. when your call for your vaccine please go. this is really encouraging because we know there are no issues with supply at there are no issues with supply at the moment so why notjust roll this out and make sure everybody is covered? june 21 is a date that is set in allotted minds and the expectation is we will come out but we have to come out safely and so just trying to put steps in as clinicians and the system is a hole in the nhs to make sure we have that because we don't meet that target there will be disappointed no

disappointment and a lot of unhappy people. there is disease activity, people. there is disease activity, people i say this. health care professionals i say our restrictive measures. i know they are for the right reasons so i get that, but there is that sense that people are not going to really follow the rules if this goes on any longer, so keeping up with making sure we are working hand, wearing masks, physically distancing, getting your vaccine and when you are with friends, sit in a well ventilated area and it means we are not spreading the virus and hopefully get to the 21st ofjune. it is three weeks away! it get to the 21st ofjune. it is three weeks away!— weeks away! it is interesting you should talk _ weeks away! it is interesting you should talk about _ weeks away! it is interesting you should talk about how— should talk about how psychologically wedded are we to that particular date? among the clinicians you speak to, what is the mood about the 21st ofjune? how likely do you feel it is that things will really change on that day? i would say there is a category of three people i meet. some people are

really pinning all their hopes on that. business people, people whose livelihoods depend on it, they are really funny. when in season. there will be lots of wedding planned around that time in my culture. this will definitely happen. then there are people who are slightly cautious and saying, well, i don't know what is happening with the variance and this is a global pandemic. and then the third group of people are really apprehensive that we will not meet the date and they are actually really worried about the fact we are going to be coming out of the restrictive measures, knowing that the variance do happen and if we do going to a boil lockdown they are almost preparing for the inevitable. but as a form of lockdown they are almost preparing for the inevitable. but as doctors and health care professionals, on the ground i have seen the numbers are low, we have low transmission rate, the vaccine, even one dose, give you 90% coverage against getting sick from the virus and any hospital. we are now dealing mostly with a mental health impact this has had and also long covid

symptoms, more and more in general practice. general practice is under pressure, there is no way i can do neither. my nhs colleagues awaiting today and bank holiday monday and i salute them because i know how difficult it is and i hope they are doing all right. we need to make sure we also looked after our finite resource in these difficult times. it is just understanding how we come out of our lockdown safely. the vaccine centre _ out of our lockdown safely. the vaccine centre we _ out of our lockdown safely. the vaccine centre we have been at this morning in bolton has a new e—mail only queue. how important is that? how much of a difference will that make —— female only. it how much of a difference will that make -- female only.— how much of a difference will that make -- female only. it will make a hue make -- female only. it will make a huge difference. _ make -- female only. it will make a huge difference. as _ make -- female only. it will make a huge difference. as a _ make -- female only. it will make a huge difference. as a muslim - make -- female only. it will make a| huge difference. as a muslim woman make -- female only. it will make a i huge difference. as a muslim woman i am from a very conservative community and is nice to see a female who can vaccinate you as you need to bear your arm and some fake and some culture rates, that puts them above. we have had vaccine has it as it was that i am part of a group of doctors, 70 clinicians across the world, who work in union

with the un and we have found there are certain barriers for people to get the vaccine. it could be as simple as getting a ticket or a trainjelly or a bus simple as getting a ticket or a train jelly or a bus journey because thatis train jelly or a bus journey because that is a cost theyjust cannot have at the moment. go trainjelly. it could be as simple as trust, we don't have a trust in the vaccine. we use in other ways as part of team—cam halo to that with social media. i have done lots of videos in punjabi and urdu, and as a muslim woman showing you can do it in a safe environment. the great thing is that all our content has built trust, so having women only cues, women dealing with them, it might put some that ease. idr women dealing with them, it might put some that ease.— women dealing with them, it might put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovel to put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk _ put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk to _ put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk to you, _ put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk to you, thank - put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk to you, thank you - put some that ease. dr nighat arif, lovely to talk to you, thank you for| lovely to talk to you, thank you for joining us. i lovely to talk to you, thank you for 'oinin: us. ., ~ . ., joining us. i will have michael doherty now- _ joining us. i will have michael doherty now. i— joining us. i will have michael doherty now. i will— joining us. i will have michael doherty now. i will have - joining us. i will have michaell doherty now. i will have mine, cheers! have _ doherty now. i will have mine, cheers! have a _ doherty now. i will have mine, cheers! have a great _ doherty now. i will have mine, cheers! have a great bank- doherty now. i will have mine, i cheers! have a great bank holiday doherty now. i will have mine, -

won her opening match at roland garros but was fined $15,000 — just over £10,000 — by organisers for skipping her press conference. she said last week that she wouldn't talk to the press during the tournament, because she wants to protect her mental health. but former british number one laura robson says media duties are just part of the job. it's a difficult one, and ifeel like it's escalated so quickly now to the point where, you know, there's talk of defaulting osaka, which i don't think is the answer at all. so i really hope they can sort it out and it can sort of be this tournament and over with — because we don't want this sort of drama following the tennis tour for the rest of the year. meanwhile, it was a day to forget for british number one dan evans. he was knocked out by world number 48 miomir kecmanovic, despite winning the first set 6—1. but the serb hit back to win the next three sets, with evans still searching for a first singles win at roland garros. elsewhere, two—time finalist dominic thiem was also knocked out. chelsea manager thomas tuchel has challenged his players to maintain their hunger after winning the champions league final against manchester city on saturday. chelsea flew back to london from porto after their 1—0 victory, and you can guess what was front

and centre of the selfies! and the party continued back at their cobham training ground. 19—year—old rubin colwill is the surprise inclusion in wales' squad for this summer's european championship, having only made his debut for cardiff city in february. caretaker manager robert page has also named gareth bale as captain, and they'll be hoping to improve on their semi final appearance five years ago. their first game is against switzerland onjune the 12th. the football league playoffs continue today with newport county and morecambe hoping to reach the third tier. blackpool climbed out of it, bouncing back from an own goal in the opening minute to beat lincoln 2—1 at wembley and return to the championship after six years away. premiership champions exeter boosted their chances of a home play—off semifinal after thrashing newcastle by 74 points to 3. it's the chiefs record win in the top flight, with this try from henry slade one of 12 they ran in. and what a game for the returning crowd of about 4,000.

the win sees them move back into second place and just three points behind league leaders bristol. and it was third time lucky for harlequins, who are the best women's rugby team in england — having won the premier 15s for the first time. after losing the last two finals to saracens they beat their london rivals 25—17 to finally get their hands on the trophy. a fitting farewell for their coach karen findlay, who leaves the club after five years in charge. and finally, there was no f1 grand prix this weekend, but that didn't stop lewis hamilton throwing himself into the danger zone! the seven—time world champion finding some time to take part in one of his other passions — sky diving. he says it's become one of his favourite things to do in his spare time. that's certainly one way to enjoy the bank holiday weekend. a p pa re ntly apparently he has been practising for a couple of years and is going on his own, of course. he throws himself into stuff, literally. he does a bit of surfing and jet skiing on the cycles are anything to get

yourself back into the zone of top—level competition. he has fallen a bit off his perch at the moment, he is second debt max verstappen in the standings. maybe he can regain that. it the standings. maybe he can regain that. , ., ., , that. it is the adrenaline, he is chasina that. it is the adrenaline, he is chasing that. _ that. it is the adrenaline, he is chasing that. i— that. it is the adrenaline, he is chasing that. i imagine - that. it is the adrenaline, he is chasing that. i imagine jet - that. it is the adrenaline, he is i chasing that. i imagine jet skiing chasing that. i imagine 'et skiing and surfing * chasing that. i imagine 'et skiing and surfing are t chasing that. i imagine 'et skiing and surfing are quite _ chasing that. i imagine jet skiing and surfing are quite tame. - chasing that. i imagine jet skiing . and surfing are quite tame. exactly, somethin: and surfing are quite tame. exactly, something goes _ and surfing are quite tame. exactly, something goes wrong _ and surfing are quite tame. exactly, something goes wrong there, - and surfing are quite tame. exactly, something goes wrong there, you . something goes wrong there, you don't have to worry too much. thank ou. finally, after weeks of wet weather the sun is here and people across the uk have been making the most of it. yesterday hundreds of sun—seekers descended on blackpool to top up their tans and enjoy some ice cream. temperatures are expected to hit 25 degrees today — the hottest day of the year so far. there were pictures in some of the papers of one h. here's the scene in skegness this morning. doesn't that look almost quite sunny? carol said the cloud will be

enough. it will be warm and not quite so cloudy later. so lots of businesses will be gearing up for a busy day this bank holiday monday — let's speak to ron sutherland who runs mr & mrs whirly ice cream and mark sesnan, chief executive of better leisure, the uk's largest operator of swimming pools who joins us live from charlton lido. is it leedo? we say ly-do down here. he would now- _ is it leedo? we say ly-do down here. he would now. they _ is it leedo? we say ly-do down here. he would now. they a _ is it leedo? we say ly-do down here. he would now. they a popular - is it leedo? we say ly-do down here. | he would now. they a popular place? fully booked, rammed. unfortunately you will not get into day but if you want to swim later in the week there are plenty of spaces why what you are plenty of spaces why what you are doing the booking system for covid reasons. absolutely, social distancing, you come in, come on your own, have your swim and get out. obviously there is chlorine in

a rise in fraud has been blamed for driving up the figures, even as the number of crashes has fallen. sadly, a number of them, frankly, that have been fraudulent claims, and that's resulted in an increase in premiums for all of us. that's not good for road users, and it's certainly not good in terms of the reputation of the insurance industry. and that's why i think the new online system, dealing with those smaller claims, will help root out fraud and help reduce premiums for all of us. people can use a new online portal for claims of less than £5,000. it's meant to simplify the process and remove the need for expensive lawyers. medical evidence will now be required in whiplash cases. the trade body for insurers said motorists will see cheaper premiums as a result. it is going to put out expensive legal fees which sometimes can be more than the actual value of the

claim and in turn if we can get those savings into the system, all honest motorists out there should be benefiting from it. the government says the changes will stop those looking for an easy payday abusing the system, while ordinary drivers pay the price. will batchelor, bbc news. lots of us have been spending more time at home over the past year so it's possible we're more in tune with the noises our gadgets make. apparently more people are looking to trade in noisy items, like washing machines, for quieter alternatives as our tech correspondent zoe kleinman has been finding out. this is the lab where the sounds in your home get put through their paces. here in south london, the noise levels of hundreds of appliances are rigorously tested by the firm quiet mark, and it awards the quietest models a sticker of approval. shh!

you will spot the stickers in argos, john lewis and littlewoods among others. when you buy a new household appliance, you might be able to see how loud it is if there's a decibel rating on the box, but you won't know about any bangs, clanks or beeps until you actually plug it in. the firm quiet mark is on a mission to change that. for the first time ever, the firm is now looking at how to include overall sound quality in its ratings for consumers like you and me, but it's complicated. something up at 80 decibels, you know, it's a no—no. you can have something about 60 decibels — better. however, it's notjust about the decibel level, it's the quality. so you can have something that's really irritating at 40 decibels. hence this new move to look at the quality and the tonalities and the pitch of a product as well. sound is a very personal sensation. what's music to your ears might be unbearable to mine. some autistic people may also process sound differently. for some autistic people, it will mean certain types of noise,

certain tones, certain frequencies will be almost painful to them. but actually, for some autistic people, it will mean that there are certain types of noise and certain types of sound they really enjoy and actually find themselves seeking. so it's a very difficult experience when the world is full of so many different sorts of sound and noise on a daily basis. washing machines and kettles top searches for quiet appliances at john lewis. we have a lot of quiet content on the website, and we see over 10,000 visits to that content every month. and we're seeing quiet as the terminology being increasingly searched on the site. but if the sound of your home reached boiling point during lockdown, you might also want to join this quiet revolution. zoe kleinman, bbc news. let's talk about all things noise—related with gloria elliott, chief executive of the noise abatement society

and co—founder of quiet mark. good morning, thank you for talking to us. do you have to pay more for something that has the quiet marked on it? i these things generally more expensive because they are engineered in such a way? irlat engineered in such a way? not necessarily- — engineered in such a way? not necessarily. there are some products out there which are very reasonable in price. generally speaking there is a bit more insulation to observe the sound but they are not always the sound but they are not always the most expensive. it the sound but they are not always the most expensive.— the most expensive. it was interesting _ the most expensive. it was interesting hearing - the most expensive. it was interesting hearing from i the most expensive. it was| interesting hearing from the the most expensive. it was - interesting hearing from the autism interesting hearing from the autism in the reports coming for some people it can be terribly, terribly distressing to have these constant noises around.— distressing to have these constant noises around. absolutely. for many eo - le noises around. absolutely. for many people they — noises around. absolutely. for many people they are _ noises around. absolutely. for many people they are not _ noises around. absolutely. for many people they are not aware _ noises around. absolutely. for many people they are not aware of- noises around. absolutely. for many people they are not aware of this - people they are not aware of this constant sound and if you are trying

more than 430,000 volunteers have carried out nearly two million tasks for those who had to stay at home during the coronavirus pandemic. this included phone calls to the isolated, delivering medicines and stewarding covid vaccination sites. duncan kennedy reports. britain was already a nation of volunteers, but covid—i9 has supercharged the desire in people to help. a giant task force of unpaid individuals has been mobilized. you'll feel a small scratch. 7a,000 people alone have been signed up to support the nhs roll—out of its vaccination programme. giving something back to the nhs for all the wonderful work that they've been doing through the lockdown, and how busy they've been. and it's just been so rewarding to know that you can help somebody that needs your help. most volunteering has been channelled through the nhs

volunteer responders programme, set up at the start of the pandemic. today's figures show it's had 436,000 recruits, who've carried out 1.9 million tasks. that includes ia,500 lifts to and from hospitals, and more than 800,000 check in and chats on people who are lonely or isolated. a separate report from the london school of economics has found the volunteers get a real boost to their sense of well—being, equivalent to receiving a bonus of £1,800. duncan kennedy, bbc news. france has tightened restrictions on travel from the uk, to try to stop the spread of the india variant of coronavirus. new rules came into force at midnight, meaning british tourists will not be allowed in. france is currently listed as an amber destination by the uk government, which advises against travel there.

hundreds of afghans who worked for the british military and at its embassy in kabul will be rapidly relocated, with many expected to be resettled in the uk. the decision comes amid fears for their safety, as international troops prepare to leave the country and the security situation deteriorates. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. afghan interpreters have put their lives on the line, serving alongside british troops in combat in helmand until 2014. though some have already been allowed to resettle in the uk, many were left behind, and are now living in real danger, with their old employers soon about to leave for good. the departure of all us, british and nato forces is under way. and there are growing concerns that those who work for them will be targeted by the taliban. so the government's agreed a new programme to bring hundreds more back to britain for safety. along with their immediate families, it could mean more than 3,000 afghans coming here to make their home in the uk.

with the western powers leaving afghanistan, the threat is increasing and has increased with targeted attacks against afghans by the taliban. so, we think it's the right thing to do, to stand by these people. they sacrificed a lot to look after us, and now we're going to do the same. the defence and home secretaries, seen here last year meeting some of the afghans who've already resettled in the uk, say it's a moral obligation to look after them. but it will also be a huge challenge in the midst of the military withdrawal. the last of the 750 british troops in kabul are due to leave in september, and it's yet clear where these afghan families will be resettled in the uk. jonathan beale, bbc news. three men have been stabbed on formby beach north of liverpool. they were taken to hospital by airambulance for treatment yesterday evening. merseyside police believe the attacks are linked, but are keeping an open mind about the motives.

a temporary ban on bailiff—enforced evictions introduced in england at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, comes to an end today. charities say 400,000 tenants have already received eviction notices, or been told to expect them, as our business correspondent katy austin reports. rudolf was made redundant last year. £3,000 behind on rent, the fear his landlord could soon try to evict him, keeps him awake at night. it's affecting my health. so if would have any kind of security, maybe another eviction ban, or maybe a promise from my landlord to say that i won't evict you until we get a fix for this, i would be actually able to sleep. despite the emergency financial support that's been available over the past year, one charity says widespread concerns remain. we found that a million households are worried about being evicted over the coming three months after the ban comes to an end. we've seen that some households

my name is richard cottingham. i'm richard cottingham. but i like to be called richie. finding his voice has been an emotional experience for richie cottingham. it made me cry on tuesday, when i heard it for the very first time, many happy tears. richie, who's 26 and has cerebral palsy, said he was fed up with the american accent his speech aid gave him, because it didn't match his identity. so, he asked people with east yorkshire accents to come forward to record their voices for him. and more than 35 men, who were from the area around his home of howden, did just that. i'm richard cottingham. hi, i'm richard cottingham. but i like to be called richie. three were blended together to make richie's final unique voice. now i am a yorkshireman, not an american. it means i can communicate with my own voice. what do you think — is that the one? yes, i think that's the one!

i think we've got it! it is a unique blend, yeah. so the technology that they use is really clever. it's taken bits of the different three voices and blended them together to make a completely new voice. so, as richie and i have discussed, he doesn't sound like any of the original three donors. the voice that he's got is completely brand new and unique to him, and will stay that way. i think everything that we do with communication has the power to be transformative. it's taken just two months for richie to find his voice, and now, it'll last a lifetime. it feels awesome and i love it. everyone has been really excited and can't wait to hear it. i think it will take people time to get used to hearing the new me. many thanks to everyone for their support. it means so much. if you see me out and about, please come and say hello and hear my new voice for yourselves. alison freeman, bbc news. what a brilliant, brilliant tail. a

urging the public to be more aware of their surroundings. whether you're coming out of a train station or a shop, whether you are searching for an item that you've just seen in a shop, the natural instinct is to just come out of the shop, look down and not be aware of your surroundings. and sometimes, very frequently, that involves wireless headphones, so even more sort of lack of awareness of your surroundings. so if you are coming out of a store, coming out of a tube station, to look up, look out around you, before you get the head down and use your phone. brentford football club's manager says it might take a while for the reality of promotion to the premier league to sink in. the bees are back in the top flight for the first time in 7a years, after they beat swansea at wembley on saturday. thomas frank says they're an example to follow for clubs around the world. travel now. lots of bank holiday restrictions on the tube. there's no circle or hammersmith and city line at all. the district line is shut between west ham, edgware road, and wimbledon; and kensington olympia, richmond and ealing broadway. the metropolitan line closed between chalfont & latimer and amersham, and the 0verground between highbury & islington and shadwell.

again, you couldn't rule out a little bit of low cloud here and there, but generally temperatures will be a few degrees up on what we have seen through the weekend to start your tuesday. and it's another dry, sunny and warm for tuesday and for wednesday, too — temperatures comfortably in the mid 205 celsius on wednesday. there's a potential somewhere could see 25 or 26 degrees — that's the high 705 in fahrenheit. when does a breakdown come? perhaps towards the end of the week, into next weekend. there's more from me in half an hour. now it's back to roger and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. morning live is coming up straight after breakfast on bbc one. kym and gethin can tell us what they have in store. coming up on morning live this bank holiday monday... brits have spent billions of pounds improving their gardens and outdoor spaces this year. which means big business for crooks! rav wilding investigates the rise

let's take a look. the first time i was stopped, i was 17. 16 years old, the first time i was stopped by the police. about 15 years old. i was 1a years old. maybe age 13. 13 years old. i was 12 years old. maybe eight or nine. i was seven or eight. i was in year...four? i think year four. myself and one of my friends were actually running for our bus to go back to the school. we only came out to pick up some food. this van pulled up to all of us and told us to stand against the wall. searched us, you know, i went through our pockets, you know, the whole thing. the reason for him stopping me that day was because i was acting suspiciously when i was at a train barrier. i was wearing gloves and it was warm that day. and i was just putting my ticket through the ticket machine and carrying on myjourney. it wasn't a very nice experience. jermainejoins us now. good morning. thank you for talking to us this morning. it sounds like an incredible project you have been working on. watching that film

there, what is shocking to hear is how young those men were when they were originally stopped. i know there is a reason you are personally motivated to make this film. tell me what happened to you. good morning. it was a situation _ what happened to you. good morning. it was a situation when _ what happened to you. good morning. it was a situation when i _ what happened to you. good morning. it was a situation when i was - what happened to you. good morning. it was a situation when i was very - it was a situation when i was very young when i was stopped around ten years old. i was in nottingham in the inner city and apparently there was some form of a warehouse and me and my friend were walking by and the police pulled up and immediately stop us and said we need to go through your pockets and see what you have. we had nothing. i was really upset and ran back to my dad crying. he laughed at me and said, listen, this is going to happen quite a lot, get used to it, don't worry about it. the documentary isn't about me and my own experiences. it was about the 1a black men we surveyed and their experiences over a 90 day period ——

40 experiences over a 90 day period —— a0 black men. what we found was pretty shocking. the numbers are that if you are young and like you are nine times more likely to be stopped by the police —— micro young and black. it tells its own story as to how police see black around the uk. ~ ., , , to how police see black around the uk. . ., , , ., the uk. who is this film about? the reason we _ uk. who is this film about? the reason we surveyed _ uk. who is this film about? the reason we surveyed 40 - uk. who is this film about? the reason we surveyed 40 black i uk. who is this film about? the l reason we surveyed 40 black men uk. who is this film about? the - reason we surveyed 40 black men was reason we surveyed a0 black men was it was a representative look at what young black men are going through in england. it is not about one individual, it tells the story of many. there are a couple of individual stories that we look at. a young 16—year—old who has been stopped on numerous occasions from his early years at the school, and to this day, one of them was a shocking stop when he was on his knees, put on his knees, taser on his neck, guns pointed at him, all on the basis that the police thought

he was carrying a samurai sword. the level of intelligence that what they do not stop was low. in all honesty, —— went into that stop. it is representative of all white men across the uk and this was my way of putting it out there, opening people's minds as to what they are going through. mental aspects within it all, suppression on the black community and the level of criminalisation being put upon a young black men which has given them low self esteem and confidence to better themselves.— better themselves. some people watchin: better themselves. some people watching this _ better themselves. some people watching this may _ better themselves. some people watching this may say _ better themselves. some people watching this may say stop - better themselves. some people watching this may say stop and l watching this may say stop and search is divisive and controversial result, but when you are trying to deal with things like knife crime it is a way of taking knives of the streets, it gets results sometimes. i have done an old documentary on knife crime —— a whole documentary

and i understand the devastation it causes families and i agree. and one of the things i found through the documentary was a lot of young black men i spoke to fully understood. and so it is a tool that police need and it is not a situation they say they want to see gone. it definitely is needed because of the amount of criminal activity that takes place on the streets. first and foremost, knife crime is notjust caused by black men. there is an argument there to say why are they not stopping as many white men? also in terms of the stop nil themselves, they totally agree there needs to be stopped and searched but the intelligence into easily nil is very little which causes massive numbers that are so disproportionate black men in the community, and is creating hate between black men and the police. it is wrong to think

that black people are committing all knife crime in england. they are not, obviously. the numbers that we are seeing with stop and search are far more drastic and targeting towards black men than anybody else. what needs to change? having made this film, you talk about a lack of intelligence in some situations. what needs to change? visit specifically about intelligence before a stop?— specifically about intelligence before a stop? specifically about intelligence before a sto? , , . , . before a stop? everything starts at the to -. before a stop? everything starts at the top- the _ before a stop? everything starts at the top. the police _ before a stop? everything starts at the top. the police need _ before a stop? everything starts at the top. the police need to - before a stop? everything starts at the top. the police need to be - before a stop? everything starts at. the top. the police need to be more representative of what we see in the uk, more of a visual representation so the level of diversity at the top level of the net or at the police need to be looked at. on that board of people implementing stop and search, you would have people like bereaved parents who have had to deal with their children who have been affected by knife crime. he would have parents on their whose children have been affected by the amount of stops that they are going

through on a yearly basis. you get that wheel combined feeling for what everybody is going through. at the minute there is only one visual look at what the police looks like and it is not representative of what is in london. further, you have to look more support into community centres and community workers to start to rebuild the bridges between the black community in particular and the police force and various other communities. we are walking into some huge problems which you maybe we'll see in the documentary tonight. we'll see in the documentary toniaht. . , ., we'll see in the documentary toniaht. . . , tonight. leaving your tv documentary maker had to — tonight. leaving your tv documentary maker had to decide, _ tonight. leaving your tv documentary maker had to decide, but _ tonight. leaving your tv documentary maker had to decide, but your - maker had to decide, but your football at back on. what did you think of the champions league final, a great win for chelsea. abs, a great win for chelsea. fascinating watch. chelsea were absolutely brilliant. no doubt that

pep's team selection was great. he put himself out there in regard to criticism. when we are looking at the team selected, and everyone went, well, if this goes well, he is a genius but if not the question will come again as to why it is pep messing around with his team? it didn't go well for city, not a great ending, but the young players that team, reece james was sensational, every player performed and on the day they thoroughly deserved their win so a great night for chelsea football club.— win so a great night for chelsea football club. . ,, , ., , . . football club. thank you very much a talkin: to football club. thank you very much a talking to us. — football club. thank you very much a talking to us, we _ football club. thank you very much a talking to us, we are _ football club. thank you very much a talking to us, we are very _ football club. thank you very much a talking to us, we are very grateful. talking to us, we are very grateful to you. jermainejenas, former footballer and documentary maker mir tv presenter. the truth about police stop & search is on channel a tonight at 10pm. gavin has all sport years. we have news from the tennis world, not on

quite a story. naomi osaka has followed the role of a lot of the real makers in terms of not wanting to protecting your mental health after the games. all organisers say she could effectively be sanctioned and disqualified from future tournaments. find £10,000 and the french open organisation treated overnight ounces deleted it, naming four players who have carried out their media appearances saying how it is effectively done. it might well play out indeed on social media. osaka said last week that she would not talk to the press during roland garros because she wants to protect her mental health, as adam wild reports. arriving at the french open, all the talk was of who wouldn't talk. behind the mask here, naomi osaka — not yet on court, but already courting controversy. her refusal to speak to the press is to protect her mental health, she says — a stance that has divided opinion.

her extraordinary talent, though, is quite beyond debate. already a global sporting icon, but yet to prove herself on clay. against romania's patricia maria tig, she was forced to fight but ultimately found her feet. through to the second round without serious concern — at least not on court. good to her word, not a word to the press afterwards — prompting tournament organisers to find her $15,000, saying... to fine her $15,000, saying... i totally respect her decision, as everyone's had different experiences with the press and everyone's had press conferences where i'm sure they've not felt the best coming out of it. but i've always taken the opinion that it is part of the job. osaka tweeted. ..

she may not be speaking to the media, but naomi osaka isn't going away quietly either. adam wild, bbc news. meanwhile, it was a day to forget for british number one dan evans. he was knocked out by world number a8 miomir kecmanovic, despite winning the first set 6—1. but the serb hit back to win the next three sets, with evans still searching for a first singles win at roland garros. elsewhere, two—time finalist dominic thiem was also knocked out. chelsea manager thomas tuchel has challenged his players to maintain their hunger after winning the champions league final against manchester city on saturday. chelsea flew back to london from porto after their 1—0 victory, and you can guess what was front and centre of the selfies! and the party continued back at their cobham training ground. and finally, there was no f1 grand prix this weekend, but that didn't stop lewis hamilton throwing himself into the danger zone! the seven—time world champion finding some time to take part in one of his other passions — sky diving.

good morning, the sun is struggling a little, it may be sunnier later. yes, good morning. it is shaping up to be another beautiful day here in skegness. still quite a bit of cloud around but it is slowly but surely starting to go through. we are here on the historic skegness pier, which has been here since 1881. as you may be able to tell from this alive shop from our drone, it is a bit shorter and you might expect because much of it was washed away in a huge storm more than a0 years ago but the new owners of the pier have a very ambitious plans for it. we are hearing £1 million has been spent refreshingly indoor spaces and from the arcade to the nearby theatre, they are back in business and we will be hearing about that in a few minutes, but first we felt we will send you a bit of a postcard from the seaside.

in skegness, the sunny bank holiday gave tourism a much needed boost. it's been a while since the sounds of a busy seaside filled the town. we had... we went to the shops, we had dinner, and now we're on the beach. and then we're going to go to the machine, the arcade. and we're leaving at eight. this bank holiday's turned out to be a boost. and it needed it, didn't it? it definitely needed it. i mean, now the restrictions have eased a little bit, people are coming out at last. they reckon one in three families will be holidaying in the uk this bank holiday, which is good for us, good for all the trade in skeg, mablethorpe and cleethorpes. i can vouch for every resort. they're all doing well. john's family have offered donkey rides here since the first world war. he plans to pass the business on to future generations. well, you think, when you look back at the old photographs

of sailors riding donkeys, coming to the port of grimsby, you know, on shore leave in the war, and now we all got shut down through, you know, a virus. they carried through the war, so i've carried on through the virus. around four million visitors come to skegness every year. jobs here depend on the recovery of tourism. ithink, you know, people are enjoying, and it's nice to see people back to skeggy. it looks beautiful. and you can see, i think, everything will be all right. the uk's got to be back and, you know, support the country, and that's how it's got to be. and it's brilliant. i'd rather people stay here than go out, then bring the virus back in. i'm trying to get one of them, not all of the coins. it's the first day out since lockdown started a year last march, with grandchildren. what's it like to be back out with the kids? lovely.

well, they've grown so much. we've missed so much. with indoor entertainment now open, the arcades were busy. at the pier this new space welcomed its first bank holiday visitors. i've been in the leisure industry a long time, and this is the hardest 12 months i've ever known, obviously. it's greatjust to see people about again. you know, there's nothing quite like seeing a family of kids enjoying themselves and people smiling. it's recognition for the hard work that everyone in leisure puts in. restaurants and bars benefited from indoor eating and drinking. this fish and chip shop got through three tonnes of potatoes. it's been manic, absolutely manic. i mean, i know it's a bank holiday, but this is sort of a double whammy bank holiday all in one go. it's been busier than what we ever expected. it's such a big relief. you know, with all this covid going on last year, every business, you know, took a hit on the resort. but i mean, today, it's

probably made up for a lot of missed days, i suppose. so, yeah. i mean, we've been nonstop since we opened our doors at 10.30 this morning. for many here, it's been the most normal spring bank holiday in two years. businesses in the resort held today will be just the same. taste businesses in the resort held today will be just the same.— businesses in the resort held today will be just the same. will be 'ust the same. we are 'oined b will be just the same. we are 'oined b brendan will be just the same. we are 'oined by brendan from i will be just the same. we are 'oined by brendan from embassy _ will be just the same. we are joined by brendan from embassy theatre. | will be just the same. we are joined i by brendan from embassy theatre. he wheeled into theatre on friday, what was it like the first time the case opened? it was it like the first time the case 0 ened? . . . was it like the first time the case oened? ., . . ., . , opened? it was an extraordinary evenin: , opened? it was an extraordinary evening, surprising _ opened? it was an extraordinary evening, surprising how- opened? it was an extraordinary i evening, surprising how emotional everybody— evening, surprising how emotional everybody got. we have been closed but 434 _ everybody got. we have been closed but 434 consecutive days but we have done stuff _ but 434 consecutive days but we have done stuff community in the meantime, had a blood donor services and also _ meantime, had a blood donor services and also did _ meantime, had a blood donor services and also did testing in one of our size rooms _ and also did testing in one of our size rooms. getting members of the public— size rooms. getting members of the public back— size rooms. getting members of the public back in the building to get though— public back in the building to get though never do what we do best was emotive _ though never do what we do best was emotive~ it _
