good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today... just five months old and making history — a baby with a devastating genetic disorder has become one of the first nhs patients to get a potentially life—saving therapy being able to now have the treatment isjust going to be a game—changer for us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. a vigil for a flower seller stabbed to death by the stall he ran for a0 years. his family say their hearts are broken. naomi oska pulls out of the french open, admitting she's suffered from depression. it comes after osaka said

she wouldn't do press conferences because they affected her mental health. good morning. i'm getting my skates on for a roller disco. what did you do with your bank holiday? how much of a boom was it for business? he's worked with some of hollywood's biggest stars, but 16—year—old noahjupe tells us how even he was scared by his film the quiet place. filming it wasn't a scary, but when i went_ filming it wasn't a scary, but when i went to _ filming it wasn't a scary, but when i went to the cinema and watched the first one. _ i went to the cinema and watched the first one. i_ i went to the cinema and watched the first one, i was so scared. good morning. iam in i am in somerset house, some of which has been transformed into a forest for the london design to be an alley. the forecast, once again cloud along the east coast. many of us will have a dry, sunny and warm day, with the chance of a shower in parts of scotland and northern

ireland. details coming up. good morning. it's tuesday, the 1st ofjune. our top story. a five—month—old boy from london has become one of the first children to be treated with a ground—breaking new gene therapy, after it was made available on the nhs. at a cost of nearly £2 million per patient, zolgensma is the world's most expensive drug, and can increase life expectancy by as much as a0 years. our medical editor fergus walsh explains. this is the world's most expensive medicine. the list price of zolgensma is almost £1.8 million — though the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount, which will enable dozens of affected infants to be treated each year. five—month—old arthur is one of the first to benefit. he has spinal muscular atrophy — sma — a genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness.

without treatment, those affected rarely live beyond the age of two. arthur is unable to lift his head, and struggles to move his arms and legs, but this single infusion should prevent further loss of nerve cells. it's been massive, massive ups and downs, but being able to now have the treatment is just going to be a game—changerfor us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. around one in every 10,000 babies is born with spinal muscular atrophy. what is remarkable is this one—off treatment may permanently stop any further decline in arthur's muscle function. so how does zolgensma work? it contains a healthy copy of a missing or faulty gene called smni. this is inserted into a harmless virus. in the body, the virus delivers the replacement gene into the nucleus of motor neuron cells.

this is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. the now healthy motor neuron cells start producing the missing smn protein, which is vital for muscle function. how's arthur? evelina children's hospital in london is one of a handful of centres in the uk which will offer this ground—breaking gene therapy. 20 years ago, a baby born with a severe form of sma would have a very shortened life expectancy. we can now offer treatment that can really alter the outlook for these children. some other infants treated with zolgensma have seen their condition notjust stabilise, but improve. arthur's parents say they know it's not a cure, and they're simply delighted that he's being treated. fergus walsh, bbc news. a little later here on breakfast we will be speaking to the parents of one baby who is currently awaiting treatment

for the condition. that's at around 8.20. the doctors' union, the british medical association, has warned that the uk is at "a pivotal moment" in the battle against coronavirus. it's urging the government to hold off a final decision on lifting all remaining restrictions, which is due to happen in england on the 21st ofjune, due to its concerns over rising cases of the new indian variant. when you look at the conditions for coming out of a — the road map conditions — one of those criteria was to make sure there were no concerns about new variants. so i think at the moment the data does suggest that we need to be cautious. the idea that in three weeks will —— we will all be able to mix without restrictions is hard to envisage when you consider that in my area we are a surge testing for the new variant. i don't think we are there yet. we need to be more patient, in my view. police are searching for up to seven

people after a 14—year—old boy was stabbed to death in birmingham. officers from the west midlands force say the teenager was attacked in college road, in the kingstanding area of the city, at about 7.30 last night. the victim's identity has not yet been revealed. a vigil was held in north london last night for a much—loved flower seller who was stabbed to death close to his stall on saturday. described as "the flower man of islington", tony eastlake was a well—known face in his local community, having sold flowers in the same area for a0 years. leigh milner has more. flowers for the florist they all once knew. last night, dozens gathered to pay their respects to who they call the loveliest man to ever sell them flowers. applause. tony eastlake started selling flowers more than a0 years ago at his stall in islington. now it's covered in messages from friends and family, after he was fatally stabbed on saturday afternoon. it's horrific. he was just, as everyone said, a localfixture.

i buy my christmas wreath from him every year. a really nice, warm, friendly guy. we'd walk by him virtually every day, and just very, very sad because it was a nice place to get some flowers, and very sad to lose somebody like that so tragically and so unnecessarily. claire, who's lived here for 30 years, remembers him well. she came with a card for mr eastlake�*s family. you know, it's heartbreaking, because you could see from his whole demeanour and posture that he was just a lovely human being. well, this is where mr eastlake was found dead on saturday, just a short walk away from where his stall is. and witnesses say he was involved in an altercation with another man just before he was stabbed. now, in a statement, his family have said, "our hearts are broken forever at the loss of such a very special man. we ask you now for your support in helping us to find the person, or people, who did this to our family, who took away a life so violently and unnecessarily."

while the murder investigation continues, police are urging anyone who might know what happened on the day tony eastlake died, to come forward. leigh milner, bbc news. in the past few hours, a dedicated terminal for anyone arriving on a flight from any of the 43 nations on the government's red list, has opened at heathrow airport. it follows criticism that passengers returning to the uk from either red, amber or green list countries were being forced to queue in arrival halls together. 0ur transport correspondent caroline davies reports. when international travel restarted last month, some couldn't wait to get away. but while this was the view in departures, in arrivals, passengers from green list low risk countries queued up in the same hall as arrivals from high risk red list countries. since mid—february, all arrivals from red list countries have had to stay in quarantine hotels for ten days, to stop the spread of variants of concern. but before they go into isolation, some spent hours queued up alongside

other lower risk passengers. despite the separate queues, some passengers felt very uncomfortable being so close for so long. from today, any arrivals coming in on direct flights from red list countries will be processed at terminal three. the terminal�*s been brought back to operation after being closed during the pandemic. while neither side will confirm who's paying for the reopening and running of the terminal, it's understood that the government is picking up a large part of the cost. but one of the biggest unions representing border force employees, the pcs, have said they're concerned the decision was taken at short notice, meaning that key social distancing procedures are not in place and that the terminal would be understaffed. the home office have said that border force is mobilising additional staff to help minimise queuing times for compliant passengers, whilst a government spokesperson said the new dedicated terminal at heathrow for arrivals from red list countries will enable passengers to be processed as safely

and as efficiently as possible. international travel is likely to remain very different for a while to come, and heathrow said they expect to have a dedicated red list terminalfor some time. caroline davis, bbc news. almost 600 migrants have reached the uk by boat in the past five days. 336 people arrived on friday — the largest number in a single day so far this year. the government has once again pledged to crack down on people smugglers organising the crossings, but groups supporting migrants are warning that tough talking simply doesn't work. simonjones reports from dover. the latest arrivals — these migrants were given life jackets and brought to dover by the border force after they reached uk waters. it's been an extremely busy few days in the channel, with calm seas and warm weather. in recent weeks, we've seen not only an increase in numbers overall, but we've seen an increase in the number of unaccompanied young

women and girls who have come into the country through this route. and that is worrying, because they're coming in from what are known to be the eritrean and vietnamese routes that are closely associated with modern slavery and sex trafficking. it's an issue that divides opinion. a protest against the number of people arriving was held at the weekend, while the previous weekend, groups supporting migrants gathered to air their views. so far this year, more than 3,500 migrants have reached the uk by boat. that figure is double the number we saw in the first five months of last year. butjust a little bit of context. the people arriving this way are very visible. you can see them coming in from here on the white cliffs. but overall, in the past year, the number of people claiming asylum here fell by around a quarter. one of the boats used to make the crossing. are the government says its new plan for immigration will break the business model of the people smugglers behind them. but one organisation working with refugees says this won't stop the desire of many migrants

to cross the channel. we think that we need to be approaching this from a totally different perspective. we've tried making it more and more difficult for people. it doesn't stop people coming, and we risk people drowning at sea. we have to be working to find safe and legal ways for them to claim asylum, so that they don't have to make the choice to use people smugglers. the government's warned there's no quick fix, but as the crossings continue, so does the pressure on it to find solutions. simonjones, bbc news, dover. it is 12 minutes past six. it has been a glorious _ it is 12 minutes past six. it has been a glorious couple - it is 12 minutes past six. it has been a glorious couple of - it is 12 minutes past six. it has| been a glorious couple of days. it is 12 minutes past six. it has - been a glorious couple of days. very nice. i been a glorious couple of days. very nice- i have — been a glorious couple of days. very nice- i have got _ been a glorious couple of days. very nice. i have got a _ been a glorious couple of days. very nice. i have got a sunburnt forehead. nice. i have got a sunburnt forehead-— nice. i have got a sunburnt forehead. ., ., ., forehead. you have covered that well. forehead. you have covered that well- shall— forehead. you have covered that well. shall we _ forehead. you have covered that well. shall we have _ forehead. you have covered that well. shall we have a _ forehead. you have covered that well. shall we have a look - forehead. you have covered that well. shall we have a look and l forehead. you have covered that i well. shall we have a look and see what london is looking like? glorious capital city. summer haze. yeah, but beautiful. let's see if we

could see similar temperatures, possibly even a degree or so higher. the forecast for today is another sunny one and it is also a very warm one. what has been happening overnight is we have seen once again a lot of low cloud coming in from the north sea, affecting parts of east anglia and right the way to north—east england. that will burn back to the coast. some of it will linger through the day. we have also got showers across the western isles, the far west of northern ireland. through the day the weather front producing these pushers back into the atlantic. it will be an improving picture. a lot of sunshine in between. highs potentially of up to 26 degrees. but widely the low to mid 20s. as we head on through the evening and overnight, a new system comes up from the south—west. it will introduce showers into the channel islands and south—west england. some of them could prove to

be thundery. at the same time we will have more low cloud, mist and mark from the north sea, affecting eastern parts of scotland and northern england. that is how we start the day tomorrow with that low cloud. the thundery showers in the south—west will drift north. behind them we will see some sunshine. they will also be some sunshine ahead of them. as we head towards the end of them. as we head towards the end of the week things turn a little bit more changeable, but still a lot of dry, warm weather. looks amazing there today, carol. thank you. plenty more from carol this tuesday morning. and of course bank holiday weather might have helped businesses. was it enough to help attractions get back on their feet? visit britain says domestic tourism is recovering, but slowly. nina is in liverpool for us this morning, and she's on wheels to find out more.

of a man who rediscovered a 23—year—old alarm clock, which still contains a recording from his late mother telling him to get out of bed. we'll be speaking to ed morrish, who was given the alarm clock when he was leaving for university, just after nine this morning. and the most watched video on the bbc website tells the story of a group of yemeni fishermen, who found ambergris worth $1.5 million — that's £70 million — in the belly of a dead whale. the ingredient is often used to make perfume. the ingredient is often used to make terfume. ., ~' the ingredient is often used to make terfume. ., ,, ., , ., the ingredient is often used to make terfume. ., ,, ., perfume. you like a bit of rose, don't you? _ perfume. you like a bit of rose, don't you? i— perfume. you like a bit of rose, don't you? i do, _ perfume. you like a bit of rose, don't you? i do, yes. _ perfume. you like a bit of rose, don't you? i do, yes. you - perfume. you like a bit of rose, | don't you? i do, yes. you might perfume. you like a bit of rose, . don't you? i do, yes. you might be interested in this. are you an emoji user? interested in this. are you an emo'i user? , interested in this. are you an emo'i usert- there i interested in this. are you an emoji user? yes. there isn't a rosy emoji. user? yes. there isn't a rosy emo'i. it will user? yes. there isn't a rosy emo'i. tt wtu become d user? yes. there isn't a rosy emo'i. it will become a d user? yes there isn't a rosy emoji. it will become a common sight in bars and on picnic blankets this

commercial vans and taxis which don't meet emissions standards, will pay £9. hgvs and buses which don't, will pay £100. so how come polluting private cars don't pay? the cities are different from one another. they have different geographies, and they have different levels of pollution to start with. so that's where the modelling has told us that we don't need to charge cars, and should be compliant by the end of this year without. bath bus operator first group says the introduction of the caz persuaded it to bring forward plans to upgrade all its vehicles to meet the new standards. but residents on some busy roads outside the new clean air zone say they're getting more hgv traffic, as drivers change routes to avoid the charges. it is a different story 150 miles away in nottingham. here, any vehicle can drive through the city, because nottingham cancelled its plans for a clean air

zone. that's not because nottingham is a dirty city. quite the opposite. its buses run on bio—gas created from food and farm waste. it has a fleet of zero emission electric taxis, an electric tram network, and has already reconfigured the roads to encourage fewer cars to drive into the centre and persuade more people to take public transport. we've been on a path towards cleaner airfor a long time. we implemented some anti—congestion measures. for example, we introduced the workplace parking levy, which was a charge on parking spaces at workplaces. it's helped us to develop a really integrated public transport system, which is very popular with people, and therefore, they're less likely to bring their car into work. which goes to show that there are lots of different ways

that our towns and cities can clean up their air. backin back in birmingham i am joined by nigel— back in birmingham i am joined by nigel humphreys, an opponent of this clean air— nigel humphreys, an opponent of this clean air zone. nigel, nigel humphreys, an opponent of this clean airzone. nigel, why nigel humphreys, an opponent of this clean air zone. nigel, why don't you support— clean air zone. nigel, why don't you support getting rid of air pollution?— support getting rid of air tollution?

and could — within a few years — feature in the olympics. ultimate cheer from southwest london has already become one of europe's leading groups — and prides itself on being fully inclusive, with the team being made up of different sexes, ages and abilities. seeing the kids fall in love with the sport is so nice. it's exercise, conditioning, tumbling. everybody wants to learn to do a flip. dancing, performing — like, being sassy and having loads of energy. it encompasses everything that you can't really find in any other sport. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the circle and hammersmith & city lines due to faulty trains.

just before the weather, take a look at how some people were cooling down yesterday — over 100 feet above the streets of london. this sky pool is near the us embassy in nine elms — just south of the thames — and is believed to be the world's first transparent pool built between two sky scrapers. swimmers can enjoy views of parliament and the london eye while they swim their lengths of the 25—metre pool. spectacular. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday put paid to all those jokes about bank holiday mondays and the weather being terrible. it was a slow start — we had a bit of mist and fog at first and low cloud — it cleared, though. and, again, if we've got any of that around this morning, it clears quickly. then we're dry, sunny and very warm once more. we were just about nearly at 25 celsius yesterday in the greater london area, and again today, 25 —

possibly 26 celsius. as we go through the night tonight, actually, the temperatures are going to hold up certainly into double figures — the odd mist and fog patch into tomorrow morning — a warm night and, actually, a few warm nights ahead of us. as i say, staying in double figures — maybe the low teens in some spots. as we go through the coming days, it looks like this. we hold on to warmth right the way through until the weekend. when does the big breakdown come? well, there are a few showers maybe to just push our way late tomorrow, overnight into thursday, and then after that, fairly dry and settled for the end of the week until the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on breakfast this morning... he's just 16, but he's worked with some of the biggest names in hollywood. noahjupe's been telling louise

how even he was scared watching his film a quiet place. colinjackson will be here in the studio to talk about the search for volunteers to work at next year's commonwealth games in birmingham. and we'll hear from the "stockport spider—man", who received a surprise phone call from the duchess of cambridge to thank him for his super—heroic efforts during lockdown. in less than two weeks, the government will tell us whether or not restrictions will be relaxed across most of the uk on the 21stjune. but now, some scientists advising them say the easing should be postponed. they say they're concerned about rising infection rates, due to the indian variant. let's speak to one of our regular gps, dr rachel ward. good morning. great to see you. how

concerned should we be, are we entering the third wave? morning. i think there is _ entering the third wave? morning. i think there is a _ entering the third wave? morning. i think there is a lot _ entering the third wave? morning. i think there is a lot of _ entering the third wave? morning. i think there is a lot of things - entering the third wave? morning. i think there is a lot of things to - think there is a lot of things to consider here, as always it is not straightforward. we are seeing a slight increase in our cases, but that also coincides with the relaxation of rules a few weeks ago, so that is to a certain extent expected. howeverwe so that is to a certain extent expected. however we are obviously seeing some areas that are having a significant rise in cases in some hotspots and we are seeing that we are having higher rates of the indian variant. 0verall there are a lot of things to consider here. we are not in the same position as we were in october, november, that is for certain, because we have vast numbers of people who have been vaccinated and we are certainly seeing the beneficial effect of that. however, as always, wejust

can't be letting our guard down, we need to be constantly monitoring this and i think a lot of these things will be taken into account when considering the 21st ofjune. let's look ahead. what impact do you think this information will have on the next stages? what other restrictions do you think might stay in place beyond the 21st ofjune perhaps? in place beyond the 21st ofjune terha s? ~ . in place beyond the 21st ofjune eterhas? ~ .

change in anything on the 21st of june because i think we are seeing some areas that are in trouble and we need to step cautiously. fik. some areas that are in trouble and we need to step cautiously. ok. why has the vaccine _ we need to step cautiously. ok. why has the vaccine roll-out, _ we need to step cautiously. ok. why has the vaccine roll-out, which - we need to step cautiously. ok. why has the vaccine roll-out, which we i has the vaccine roll—out, which we know has been a big success up until now, not prevented this from happening? 0r now, not prevented this from happening? or is this a third wave of some kind, was this always going to happen? shes of some kind, was this always going to ha- ten? �* . of some kind, was this always going to hat-en? r ., of some kind, was this always going to hat-en? a ., ., . . to happen? as we go forward we are ttoin to to happen? as we go forward we are going to seek— to happen? as we go forward we are going to seek new _ to happen? as we go forward we are going to seek new variants. - to happen? as we go forward we are going to seek new variants. virusesl going to seek new variants. viruses change and that will continue to happen and we are just building change and that will continue to happen and we arejust building up more things in our army to fight it. the vaccine roll—out is by no means not worked. if you look at the cases we are seeing, it is in the younger cohorts that are not yet vaccinated. what we are seeing is that despite having increased case numbers, at the moment we are not seeing that rise in hospital numbers, and thankfully that rise in deaths. so absolutely we feel the vaccine roll—out is having a really positive

impact. of course not everybody is vaccinated and not any vaccination is 100%, but we feel it is really keeping a lid on it at the moment and we need to continue working really hard with our vaccines. you still believe _ really hard with our vaccines. you still believe that, _ really hard with our vaccines. you still believe that, despite the fact that we see that alton is remaining a covid hotspot. are you more concerned about pockets of spread —— bolton is a hotspot. i concerned about pockets of spread -- bolton is a hotspot.— bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a — bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a great _ bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a great example. - bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a great example. if- bolton is a hotspot. i believe that. bolton is a great example. if we i bolton is a great example. if we look at hospitalisation it is generally our younger age group. very few people have had two vaccines that have been admitted to hospital, which again gives very important information. the covid pandemic has taught us so much about how health varies in different areas, health inequality, how people live differently in different areas of deprivation. it has taught us a lot that needs to be improved upon in health and i think bolton teaches

us many more key points but again the vaccine is having an impact, and as we roll it out more, that increase in cases is slowing down. i increase in cases is slowing down. i don't know if you have seen the pictures from twickenham yesterday of people queueing to get their vaccinations late yesterday afternoon. quite incredible scenes. i know they were aiming to vaccinate up i know they were aiming to vaccinate up to 15,000 people yesterday in the south west london. how successful is an idea like this, would you like to see this happen in other parts of the country?— the country? well, i think all of our vaccine _ the country? well, i think all of our vaccine centres _ the country? well, i think all of our vaccine centres have - the country? well, i think all of our vaccine centres have been i our vaccine centres have been incredibly successful. i think it was great to see everything in twickenham. the thing i liked most is it showed that people have the appetite to come forward for a vaccine, which is what we want to see. going forward, i don't know how it will look and i wonder whether this is going to be our core vaccination site, these big centres, because i think it is very likely that there will be boosters in the

future and of course gps have done a huge proportion of the vaccinating at the moment, but that is distracting from our current work, taking us away from it, and i'm not sure how sustainable that is long—term. great to see what is happening in twickenham. this long-term. great to see what is happening in twickenham. this is obviously now— happening in twickenham. this is obviously now going _ happening in twickenham. this is obviously now going to _ happening in twickenham. this is obviously now going to be - happening in twickenham. this is obviously now going to be part i happening in twickenham. this is obviously now going to be part ofj obviously now going to be part of our lives for years to come. can gps continue to take the strain? i our lives for years to come. can gps continue to take the strain?- continue to take the strain? i have to sa m continue to take the strain? i have to say my personal— continue to take the strain? i have to say my personal experience, i continue to take the strain? i have | to say my personal experience, the amount of work and manpower it takes to be running vaccine clinics alongside our normal work, i think it is having an impact. certainly we are also seeing a huge surge in people coming forward to their gp and combining those things is having and combining those things is having a real impact how easily people are able to access their gp. my personal feeling is that long—term i don't think we will be able to keep it up but we don't know how it will look. lovely to talk to you, dr rachel

ward, thank you very much indeed. that is something we will be discussing through the morning. lets us know what you think about that and also on this next issue. all revolving around one of the biggest stars in world tennis. the highest paid female athletes last year. ahead of the french open she said she didn't want to speak to the media because it made her nervous. she played herfirst match, didn't do any post—match media. she was fined and it has escalated from there, hunted? tennis world number two naomi 0saka has withdrawn from the french open saying she has suffered from depression for years. it comes after organisers of the four grand slams threatened her with expulsion from the tournament because she said she didn't want to answer questions from the media to preserve her mental health. joe lynskey reports. naomi 0saka called it a situation she never imagined. at this french open she's taken a stance, refusing to speak to the press after matches. now she's pulled out of the tournament.

0saka won her first match on sunday, but 2a hours later wrote this on twitter. 0saka says she's suffered long bouts of depression since winning the us 0pen three years ago, and she gets huge waves of anxiety before speaking to the media. now she says she's taking time away. 0saka chose not to speak to the press, she said, to preserve her mental health. tennis authorities had fined her and threatened disqualification. now some feel the sport could learn lessons. had the organisers known that she was suffering from depression, would they have gone out so strongly with a statement? probably not. i think saying that she was potentially going to be defaulted was always quite strong and maybe unnecessary. but here we are. and i think it's a real disappointment for the tournament that she's had to withdraw, but also for herself that she's been dealing with this

for so long and no one knew. last night, serena williams spoke out. she's just won the tournament's first night match. but she feels this has cast a shadow. i feel for naomi. i feel like, i wish i could give her a hug because i know what it's like. like i said, i've been in those positions. everyone is different and everyone handles things differently. so, you know, you just have to let her handle it the way she wants to. the french tennis federation said they were sorry and sad for naomi osaka, and that they're committed to athletes' well—being. this came about from 0saka not wanting to talk. but now her and the sport will look for dialogue, as tennis tries to repair things with one of its greatest stars. joe lynskey, bbc news. and i am sure that story will rumble on. meanwhile, british number one johanna konta could be unseeded for wimbledon later this month,

after her first—round exit at the french open. defeat to sorana cirstea extended her poor run. konta has only won three matches all year. and not much better for heather watson, either — who also lost. that leaves cameron norrie as the only brit left in the singles draw after just two days. he's been in great form on the red dust this year, and eased through his first round match in straight sets. just two days after playing his last game for manchester city in their champions league final defeat to chelsea, sergio aguero has been paraded before the media as a barcelona player. aguero willjoin barca in a two—year deal, and leaves city as their all—time leading scorer after ten years. the club are planning to erect a statue of him outside the etihad stadium. this bank holiday weekend has seen the agony and ecstasy of the english football league play—off finals. morecambe rounded it off by winning promotion to league one, by beating newport county 1—0 with this penalty in extra time. it's the first time morecambe have

reached the third tier. but frustration and tears for newport fans, who felt they should have had a penalty earlier in the match. you never like to see that, do you? and we'll find out today which seven players are being trimmed from gareth southgate's england squad heading to the euros. there are currently four right backs in the 33 man squad named last week, with trent alexander—arnold competing with kieran trippier, reece james and kyle walker to be selected. england could also be concerned about harry maguire, who missed wednesday's europa league final through injury. jordan henderson hasn't played for liverpool since february because of injury, but he too is aiming to make the final list of 26. i think lots of people will be naming their own england squads for the euros. everyone has their own selections. the euros. everyone has their own selections-— selections. are really difficult da . i selections. are really difficult day. i remember— selections. are really difficult day. i remember speaking . selections. are really difficult day. i remember speaking to | selections. are really difficult - day. i remember speaking to dion dublin, one of those who got the

see you. a lovely start to the day in london, the sky is blue. yesterday temperatures reached 25.1 celsius in scotland, making it the warmest day of the year so far and today we might see a bit higher than that. the forecast for today is sunny and also very warm. what is happening is high pressure is still in charge of our weather but we have a weather front to the west that is producing the spot of rain as we go through the night in the western isles and also northern ireland. we have another weather front coming up from france that will not affect us until tomorrow. today we are starting with a lot of low cloud once again through parts of east anglia and up the coast of eastern england up into north—east england. that will be back to the coast as we go through the force of the day. if you are under it it will hold back temperatures. the weather front in the west pushes into the north sea, surrey, the atlantic, so these will

i cried all the way home in the car. 0h! because you were going to miss them? yeah, i loved it. it was like a second home to me because everyone was so... it was such a community on set that when i got in the car and i realised that i wasn't going to get to go back to that community ever again, it was really kind of heartbreaking for me. and that's when i kind of knew that this job would be something that i would be passionate about and, you know, something that i would love doing. there are people out there. people worth saving. and for fans of a quiet place... so we prepare ourselves for scares. you're alongside emily blunt again. and just give us a quick insight — you know, it starts where? it basically follows straight on from the events of the end of the last one.

the safety has just gone out the window in this movie so you're just on number ten the whole time. oh, it's scary! what's it like being in it? the scariest thing about a quiet place is the fact... the jump scares. yeah. like, you know, when you think everything's 0k, and suddenly this happens, right? and for us, because we've read the script, we know what's happening, we know that something's coming. so it defeats the aspect of surprise. i have to say, filming it wasn't scary, but then when i went to the cinema and watched the first one, i was... i was so scared, i was like... even though you know what's going to happen. even though i know what's happening! iwas... iwas, like, closing my eyes like this when i was watching it because i was so scared, so, yeah. for a quiet place, did you learn... did you learn actual sign language, as well?

i mean, milli, who is also one of my best friends... millicent simmonds, who stars alongside you, yeah. millicent simmonds is, you know, i... immediately, we started emailing over the first — before the first a quiet place. and then once i met her, i was like, i need to speak to her, i need to talk to her. and obviously, there was a interpreter that so i could, was a interpreter there so i could, but i wanted it to be just between us. so then i started to learn the alphabet of sign language and i'd spell out the word that i wanted to say and she'd sign it back to me. so it would take us an hour — it would take, like, half an hour for me to say, "how are you?" because i'd be like, how...are you? that's a lovely skill to have, because you'll meet people in your life who you'll be able to talk to that you wouldn't, you know, wouldn't be able to sign to before. i was on a plane with this old woman who was deaf and we were flying back to england or something, and she needed help.

and this guy couldn't communicate with her. he was like, you know, trying to talk to her. and i rememberjust going over and saying, like, "do you know american sign language?" she was like, "yes." and then kind of talking to her and finding out what she needed and stuff, and helping the guy that was trying to help her. so, yeah, i mean, it'sjust really cool to know and, you know, it's a different language, which is always exciting. i'm just looking at some of the people you've worked with, and it literally is the who's who of hollywood. so they think you killed her? no! so why else all of this, then? i don't know. sandy and caroline will probably be there, won't they? hey, jack, come sit here. is it ok ifjack comes over? those men killed mom. we've decided it'd be best if your auntie margaret. came and stayed with us. nicki needs her mother. we'll be strong. you can'tjust push the car hard.

just amazing. craziness. yeah. some of them, um, you know, for example, cillian, who i've recently worked with — i didn't actually really know a lot about him. the people that are left...what they've become. after the shoot, obviously, i was like, "right, i've got to watch peaky blinders." now i'm the biggest fan. ithink... i think i wouldn't have been able to speak to him, knowing some of the stuff he's done. you know, he's definitely now... i very much look up to him as an actor. i watched back today, the night manager, some of the night manager, when you star alongside lots of superstars, but not least tom hiddleston. thank you very much, sir, for rescuing me. i never actually got to see the whole thing. i've just seen my episodes because obviously, until recently, i wouldn't have understood it and understood what was happening. he probably won't remember ,e. he probably won't remember me. it would be interesting if i ever meet him again to be like, "0h,,

yeah, i was on a beach with you, throwing stones in the water." not only do you have this extraordinarily and hugely successful career — you, like anyone else, have to do exams. you need to get some gcses. how's that been? um... it's annoying and painful and...i haven't got much sleep recently, but, you know, i'm...in it to win it. i'm excited. 0k. it's been a real — listen — a real pleasure to talk to you. thank you very much indeed, noah. thank you. i love that wave at the end. 16! when we ran through the films he'd beenin when we ran through the films he'd been in as part of that interview... he has been in everything! keep an eye out for him. a little later on we'll be speaking to ross kemp about how the uk will thank the millions of volunteers who've stepped up to help their communities during the pandemic. if you've been volunteering, we'd love to see you in action — so send your pictures to us on email

at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk or on twitter using the hashtag #bbcbreakfast. i get iget in i get in contact on facebook. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. thousands of people descended on twickenham rugby stadium yesterday, when it was converted into england's biggest vaccination centre. jabs were being offered to anyone over the age of 18. more than 10,000 people received them. the event was aimed at increasing the number of vaccinations, as cases of the indian variant surge in hounslow. there were long queues after the vaccinations were offered to stop them going to waste. cheerleading, like you see in american sports stadiums, has become a sport in itself.

it has come over to london and could — within a few years — feature in the olympics. ultimate cheer, from south west london, has already become one of europe's leading groups, and prides itself on being fully inclusive, with the team being made up of different sexes, ages and abilities. seeing the kids fall in love with the sport is so nice. it's exercise, conditioning, tumbling. everybody wants to learn to do a flip. dancing, performing — like, being sassy and having loads of energy. it encompasses everything that you can't really find in any other sport. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the circle and hammersmith and city lines, due to faulty trains. 0n the roads, london—bound traffic on the a13 is building through barking. while in wood green, green lanes remains closed between turnpike lane station and alexandra road for emergency water work. in bow, traffic lights are damaged

on st stephen's road jct roman road, following an earlier collision, with northbound slow traffic on the approach. just before the weather, take a look at how some people were cooling down yesterday — over a 100 feet above the streets of london. this sky pool is near the us embassy in nine elms, just south of the thames, and is believed to be the world's first transparent pool, built between two sky scrappers. swimmers can enjoy views of parliament and the london eye, while they swim their lengths of the 25 metre pool. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday put paid to all those jokes about bank holiday mondays and the weather being terrible. it was a slow start — we had a bit of mist and fog at first and low cloud — it cleared, though. and, again, if we've got any of that around this morning, it clears quickly. then we're dry, sunny and very warm once more. we were just about nearly at 25 celsius yesterday in the greater london area, and again today, 25 — possibly 26 celsius. as we go through the night tonight, actually, the temperatures

are going to hold up certainly into double figures — the odd mist and fog patch into tomorrow morning — a warm night and, actually, a few warm nights ahead of us. as i say, staying in double figures — maybe the low teens in some spots. as we go through the coming days, it looks like this. we hold on to warmth right the way through until the weekend. when does the big breakdown come? well, there are a few showers maybe to just push our way late tomorrow, overnight into thursday, and then after that, fairly dry and settled for the end of the week until the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. 0ur headlines today... just five months old and making history — a baby with a devastating genetic disorder has become one of the first

nhs patients to get a potentially life—saving therapy. being able to now have the treatment isjust going to be a game—changer for us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. as thousands rush for a jab in west london, there are warnings that a rise in case numbers could delay the lifting of all restrictions in england later this month. good morning. iam good morning. i am at a newly launched roller disco in liverpool where business is booming. but for how long? we break down the numbers. good morning. naomi 0saka pulls out of the french open, admitting she's suffered from depression. it comes after 0saka said she wouldn't do press conferences because they affected her mental health. jason? hello. hello.

and stockport�*s answer to spider—man gets a royal thank you from the duchess of cambridge for his heroic efforts during lockdown. good morning from somerset house. it is the start of the london design biennale today. we are in the middle of one of the interactive designs. it is designed to represent global issues such as climate change, poverty and inequality. as you can see, there is hardly a cloud in the sky. another is sunny and warm day. low cloud on the east coast. details coming up. good morning. it's tuesday, the 1st ofjune. our top story. a five—month—old boy from london has become one of the first children to be treated with a ground—breaking new gene therapy, after it was made available on the nhs. at a cost of nearly £2 million per patient, zolgensma is the world's most expensive drug and can increase life expectancy by as much as a0 years. 0ur medical editor

fergus walsh explains. this is the world's most expensive medicine. the list price of zolgensma is almost £1.8 million — though the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount, which will enable dozens of affected infants to be treated each year. five—month—old arthur is one of the first to benefit. he has spinal muscular atrophy — sma — a genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. without treatment, those affected rarely live beyond the age of two. arthur is unable to lift his head, and struggles to move his arms and legs, but this single infusion should prevent further loss of nerve cells. it's been massive, massive ups and downs, but being able to now have the treatment is just going to be a game—changerfor us and give arthur the best possible life he could have.

around one in every 10,000 babies is born with spinal muscular atrophy. what is remarkable is this one—off treatment may permanently stop any further decline in arthur's muscle function. so how does zolgensma work? it contains a healthy copy of a missing or faulty gene called smn1. this is inserted into a harmless virus. in the body, the virus delivers the replacement gene into the nucleus of motor neuron cells. this is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. the now healthy motor neuron cells start producing the missing smn protein, which is vital for muscle function. how's arthur? evelina children's hospital in london is one of a handful of centres in the uk which will offer this ground—breaking gene therapy. 20 years ago, a baby born with a severe form of sma would have a very shortened life expectancy.

we can now offer treatment that can really alter the outlook for these children. some other infants treated with zolgensma have seen their condition notjust stabilise, but improve. arthur's parents say they know it's not a cure, and they're simply delighted that he's being treated. fergus walsh, bbc news. a little later here on breakfast, we will be speaking to the parents of one baby who is currently awaiting treatment for the condition. that's at around 8.20. in less than two weeks, the government will announce whether or not it will go ahead with the final part of its road map on the 21st ofjune. but there are now warnings they should postpone due to the spread of the indian variant. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. morning to you. adam, there's mounting pressure on borisjohnson from medical and scientific communities now, isn't there?

now it's covered in messages from friends and family, after he was fatally stabbed on saturday afternoon. it's horrific. he was just, as everyone said, a localfixture. i buy my christmas wreath from him every year. a really nice, warm, friendly guy. we'd walk by him virtually every day, and just very, very sad because it was a nice place to get some flowers, and very sad to lose somebody like that so tragically and so unnecessarily. clare, who's lived here for 30 years, remembers him well. she came with a card for mr eastlake's family. you know, it's heartbreaking, because you could see from his whole demeanour and posture that he was just a lovely human being. well, this is where mr eastlake was found dead on saturday, just a short walk away from where his stall is. and witnesses say he was involved in an altercation with another man just before he was stabbed. now, in a statement, his family have said, "our hearts are broken forever at the loss of such a very special man.

we ask you now for your support in helping us to find the person, or people, who did this to our family, who took away a life so violently and unnecessarily." while the murder investigation continues, police are urging anyone who might know what happened on the day tony eastlake died, to come forward. leigh milner, bbc news. a dedicated terminal for anyone arriving on a flight from any of the a3 nations on the government's red list, has opened at heathrow airport. the move follows criticism that passengers returning to the uk from either red, amber or green list countries were being forced to queue together on arrival. heathrow said its priority was protecting the public and reducing the risk of new coronavirus variants. the hottest day of the year tempted many to the beach yesterday. but for one family it turned into a terrifying ordeal. take a look at this.

will burn back to the coast. that will burn back to the coast. that will keep the temperature down. for most of us we are looking at a sunny day. some fair weather cloud developing, turning the sunshine hazy. after the odd shower in the western isles and the west of northern ireland, it would pull away in the afternoon. temperatures could be higher than yesterday as sally said earlier, we have the warmest day of the year so far. today we could hit 25 or 26. yesterday we got a 25 or 26. yesterday we got a 25.1 celsius. this evening and overnight we see a new system coming in from the south—west introducing some thundery showers into parts of south—west england and the channel islands. 0nce south—west england and the channel islands. once again, low cloud and mist from the north sea. as we head into tomorrow we start with that low cloud, mist and murkiness. into tomorrow we start with that low cloud, mistand murkiness. some into tomorrow we start with that low cloud, mist and murkiness. some of it will linger. showers in the south—west moved further north, getting into northern ireland, part of the midlands and the south—east.

nonetheless, temperatures still getting into the 20s quite widely. away from the north sea coastline it will be cooler. we could hit 26, possibly 27. we are not done with this warm weather yet. thank you, carol. it looks amazing there. �* . ., . ., there. beautiful. more from carol later. there's a big question mark over whether the government will go ahead with its final stage of unlocking on the 21stjune. scientists advising ministers have cast doubt on the timetable, if the indian variant of covid continues to spread. for the sixth day in a row, the uk has recorded more than 3,000 new infections. prior to this, that number hadn't been passed since the 12th april. compared to the previous seven days, there's been a rise of almost 29%. there was only one death reported in the latest recorded 2a—hour period, but that figure is always lower after the weekend. joining us now is the former government chief scientific adviser,

professor sir mark walport. thank you very much for it being with us this morning. i am sure our viewers will be interested to know how you are assessing things at the moment. we were speaking to our chief political correspondent that he was talking about a scientist being into camps. those who are being into camps. those who are being over cautious, and those who are saying it is ok to move ahead. which of these camps are you in? i which of these camps are you in? i am in the camp that says we need more _ am in the camp that says we need more data. — am in the camp that says we need more data, i'm afraid. we need to substitute — more data, i'm afraid. we need to substitute speculation for scientific data. as everyone has said in— scientific data. as everyone has said in recent days, the situation is very— said in recent days, the situation is very delicately balanced with three _ is very delicately balanced with three sets of moving parts. firstly, we have _ three sets of moving parts. firstly, we have a — three sets of moving parts. firstly, we have a new, more transmissible variant, _ we have a new, more transmissible variant, that — we have a new, more transmissible variant, that there is no doubt. we don't _ variant, that there is no doubt. we don't have — variant, that there is no doubt. we don't have much more transmissible. secondly, _ don't have much more transmissible. secondly, there has been a change in behaviour— secondly, there has been a change in behaviour following the relaxation measures — behaviour following the relaxation measures on the 17th of may and the effects— measures on the 17th of may and the effects of— measures on the 17th of may and the effects of that willjust be

travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. thousands of people descended on twickenham rugby stadium yesterday — when it was converted into england's biggest vaccination centre. jabs were being offered to anyone over the age of 18. more than 10,000 people received them. the event was aimed at increasing the number of vaccinations as cases of the indian variant surge in hounslow. there were long queues after the vaccinations were offered to stop them going to waste. cheerleading, like you see in american sports stadiums, has become a sport in itself, come over to london and could — within a few years — feature in the olympics. ultimate cheer from southwest london has already become one of europe's leading groups — and prides itself on being fully inclusive, with the team being made up of different sexes, ages and abilities. seeing the kids fall in love with the sport is so nice.

it's exercise, conditioning, tumbling. everybody wants to learn to do a flip. dancing, performing — like, being sassy and having loads of energy. it encompasses everything that you can't really find in any other sport. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the circle and hammersmith & city lines due to faulty trains. nothing new there, it is like that all the time. just before the weather, take a look at how some people were cooling down yesterday — over 100 feet above the streets of london. this sky pool is near the us embassy in nine elms — just south of the thames —

and is believed to be the world's first transparent pool built between two sky scrapers. swimmers can enjoy views of parliament and the london eye while they swim their lengths of the 25—metre pool. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday put paid to all those jokes about bank holiday mondays and the weather being terrible. it was a slow start — we had a bit of mist and fog at first and low cloud — it cleared, though. and, again, if we've got any of that around this morning, it clears quickly. then we're dry, sunny and very warm once more. we were just about nearly at 25 celsius yesterday in the greater london area, and again today, 25 — possibly 26 celsius. as we go through the night tonight, actually, the temperatures are going to hold up certainly into double figures — the odd mist and fog patch into tomorrow morning — a warm night and, actually, a few warm nights ahead of us. as i say, staying in double figures — maybe the low teens in some spots. as we go through the coming days, it looks like this. we hold on to warmth right the way through until the weekend.

when does the big breakdown come? well, there are a few showers maybe to just push our way late tomorrow, overnight into thursday, and then after that, fairly dry and settled for the end of the week until the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. this bank holiday definitely delivered the weather — with the hottest day of the year so far. after weeks of rain, it was just what many of us needed. did you have a barbecue over the weekend at some stage? i did you have a barbecue over the weekend at some stage?- did you have a barbecue over the weekend at some stage? i have two barbecues- — weekend at some stage? i have two barbecues. this _ weekend at some stage? i have two barbecues. this sounds _ weekend at some stage? i have two barbecues. this sounds practical - weekend at some stage? i have two| barbecues. this sounds practical and boring but one of those weekends when you have to purchase your bread

joe lynskey reports. naomi 0saka called it a situation she never imagined. at this french open she's taken a stance, refusing to speak to the press after matches. now she's pulled out of the tournament. 0saka won her first match on sunday, but 2a hours later wrote this on twitter. "the best thing for the tournament is that i withdraw. i never wanted to be a distraction." 0saka says she's suffered long bouts of depression since winning the us 0pen three years ago, and she gets huge waves of anxiety before speaking to the media. now she says she's taking time away. 0saka chose not to speak to the press, she said, to preserve her mental health. tennis authorities had fined her and threatened disqualification. now some feel the sport could learn lessons. had the organisers known that she was suffering from depression, would they have gone out so strongly with a statement? probably not. i think saying that she was potentially going to be defaulted was always quite strong

and maybe unnecessary. but here we are. and i think it's a real disappointment for the tournament that she's had to withdraw, but also for herself that she's been dealing with this for so long and no one knew. last night, serena williams spoke out. she's just won the tournament's first night match. but she feels this has cast a shadow. i feel for naomi. i feel like, i wish i could give her a hug because i know what it's like. like i said, i've been in those positions. everyone is different and everyone handles things differently. so, you know, you just have to let her handle it the way she wants to. the french tennis federation said they were sorry and sad for naomi osaka, and that they're committed to athletes' well—being. this came about from 0saka not wanting to talk. but now her and the sport will look for dialogue, as tennis tries to repair things with one of its greatest stars. joe lynskey, bbc news.

meanwhile, british number one johanna konta could be unseeded at wimbledon later this month, after her first round exit at the french open. defeat to sorana cirstea extended her poor run of form — she's only won three matches all year. and not much better for heather watson either — who also lost in the first round. that leaves cameron norrie as the only brit left in the singles draw after just two days. he's been in great form on the clay this year and eased through his first round match in straight sets. and just two days after playing his last game for manchester city in their champions league final defeat to chelsea, sergio aguero has been presented as a barcelona player. aguero willjoin the spanish club in a two—year deal and leaves city as their all—time leading scorer after ten years. the club are planning to erect a statue of him outside the etihad stadium.

that was the worst kept secret in football, that he was going to barcelona. he had told his agent, i don't want you to speak to any other club, just barcelona, and it has happened. he club, just barcelona, and it has happened-— club, just barcelona, and it has hat-ened. ., , , . happened. he got his wish. thanks ve much happened. he got his wish. thanks very much indeed. _ preparations for next year's commonwealth games in birmingham are well under way and organisers are now looking for more than 13,000 volunteers to help make them happen. sprinter and hurdler colinjackson is a man who's enjoyed plenty of success in this competition, and he's in the studio to tell us a bit about it all. iamso i am so giddy to have you in the studio! i can barely get my words out. it is so lovely to see you. it is a real pleasure to see real people, it's great.— is a real pleasure to see real people, it's great. great to have ou people, it's great. great to have you here, _ people, it's great. great to have you here, l _ people, it's great. great to have you here, lam _ people, it's great. great to have you here, i am beyond - people, it's great. great to have you here, i am beyond excited. | people, it's great. great to have . you here, i am beyond excited. you are no stranger to commonwealth games. how important are volunteers? hugely important to make that cohesion with the whole event. i have fond memories of volunteers for

held in. they leave a legacy there. how important is it for birmingham, the people of birmingham, to be able to get involved?— to get involved? think about the community _ to get involved? think about the community of— to get involved? think about the community of the _ to get involved? think about the community of the west - to get involved? think about the | community of the west midlands itself, it is probably the most diverse in the uk. people from all parts of the commonwealth games have literally come together there and base themselves there. i think birmingham as a city it will thoroughly enjoy the experience, lots of inspiration will come from the people that i dare competing and also vice versa. it is a time for birmingham to show the world what we are capable of achieving it will be held at the alexander stadium, a venue close to your heart. i love it. birmingham is my second home. it is the first place i broke 13 seconds in the 110 metre hurdles. bennion was the city tidy, my last competition and all the volunteers that signed a massive card for me to say thank you very much, wishing you

northern ireland pulling away into the atlantic for the day. cooler on the atlantic for the day. cooler on the north sea coastline, about 12 to maybe 15 degrees, but inland it could be even warmer than yesterday. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, reaching 25.1 degrees in kinlochewe. we could hit 26, possibly 27 today. through the course of tonight, once again we will have the low cloud rolling back in and thundery showers coming up from the south—west, which through tomorrow will advance towards northern ireland, the midlands and the south—east. but still temperatures will be high. again tomorrow we could hit 26 degrees. you will find if you are stuck under the low cloud coming in from the north sea temperatures will be that bit lower. even as we go through the rest of the week, although temperatures will start to slide, there will still be decent for early june. i there will still be decent for early june. , , �* ., ~' .,, june. i might present breakfast in m shorts

isjust going to be a game—changer for us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. as thousands rush for a jab in west london, there are warnings that a rise in case numbers could delay the lifting of all restrictions in england later this month. naomi osaka pulls out of the french open, admitting she's suffered from depression since winning herfirst grand slam title in 2018. he's worked with some of hollywood's biggest stars — but 16—year—old noahjupe tells us how even he was scared by his film the quiet place. filming it wasn't scary, but then when i went to the cinema and watched the first one, lwasm _ ..i was so scared. good morning. iamat i am at somerset house. it is the start of the london design biennale today. it runs until the 27th. i am surrounded by 400 juvenile trees. i will tell you more through the

programme. the sun is out. for many it is going to be a dry, sunny and very warm day. the exception to that is along the east coast, where there will be some lingering low cloud. details in ten minutes. good morning. it's tuesday, the 1st ofjune. our top story. a five—month—old boy from london has become one of the first children to be treated with a ground—breaking new gene therapy, after it was made available on the nhs. at a cost of nearly £2 million per patient, zolgensma is the world's most expensive drug and could increase life expectancy for many years after treatment. our medical editor fergus walsh explains. this is the world's most expensive medicine. the list price of zolgensma is almost £1.8 million — though the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount, which will enable dozens of affected infants to be treated each year. five—month—old arthur is one

of the first to benefit. he has spinal muscular atrophy — sma — a genetic condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. without treatment, those affected rarely live beyond the age of two. arthur is unable to lift his head, and struggles to move his arms and legs, but this single infusion should prevent further loss of nerve cells. it's been massive, massive ups and downs, but being able to now have the treatment is just going to be a game—changerfor us and give arthur the best possible life he could have. around one in every 10,000 babies is born with spinal muscular atrophy. what is remarkable is this one—off treatment may permanently stop any further decline in arthur's muscle function. so how does zolgensma work? it contains a healthy copy of a missing or

faulty gene called smn1. this is inserted into a harmless virus. in the body, the virus delivers the replacement gene into the nucleus of motor neuron cells. this is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. the now healthy motor neuron cells start producing the missing smn protein, which is vital for muscle function. how's arthur? evelina children's hospital in london is one of a handful of centres in the uk which will offer this ground—breaking gene therapy. 20 years ago, a baby born with a severe form of sma would have a very shortened life expectancy. we can now offer treatment that can really alter the outlook for these children. some other infants treated with zolgensma have seen their condition notjust stabilise, but improve. arthur's parents say they know it's not a cure, and they're simply delighted that he's being treated. fergus walsh, bbc news.

we will be speaking to the parents of one baby who is currently awaiting treatment for the condition, in about 20 minutes. fergus is going tojoin us on the programme as well. i can't wait to find out more about that incredible story. in less than two weeks, the government will announce whether or not it will go ahead with the final part of its roadmap on the 21st ofjune. but there are now warnings they should postpone due to the spread of the indian variant. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. good morning. adam, there's mounting pressure on borisjohnson from medical and scientific communities now, isn't there? yes. in two weeks the prime minister will make _ yes. in two weeks the prime minister will make a _ yes. in two weeks the prime minister will make a decision about what happens — will make a decision about what happens in england in three weeks' time _ happens in england in three weeks' time that — happens in england in three weeks' time. that is the date that is being pencitted _ time. that is the date that is being pencitted in — time. that is the date that is being pencilled in for step four of the road _ pencilled in for step four of the road map. _ pencilled in for step four of the road map, the final step for the

the victim's identity has not yet been revealed. a vigil was held in north london last night, for a much—loved flower seller who was stabbed to death close to his stall on saturday. described as "the flower man of islington", tony eastlake was a well—known face in his local community, having sold flowers in the same area for 40 years. police are treating his death as murder. a dedicated terminal for anyone arriving on a flight from any of the 43 nations on the government's red list, has opened at heathrow airport. the move follows criticism that passengers returning to the uk from either red, amber or green list countries were being forced to queue together on arrival. heathrow said its priority was protecting the public and reducing the risk of new coronavirus variants. the hottest day of the year tempted many to the beach yesterday. but for one family it turned into a terrifying ordeal. take a look at this. are you all right? are you ok?

are you all right? please help! the rnli were called out to rescue a young girl after her dinghy drifted out to sea off kimmel bay in conwy. it had become detached from a safety line. she was taken safely back to shore to be reunited with herfamily. it comes as the rnli warn they expect this summer to be the busiest for lifeboat crews. what a greatjob they did. what a great job they did. brilliantjob. just that what a great job they did. brilliant job. just that moment, what a great job they did. brilliantjob. just that moment, it isjust your nightmare, brilliantjob. just that moment, it is just your nightmare, isn't it? really scary. well done to that crew. lots of people out and about at the moment because of the brilliant weather. we sent carol to somerset house this morning. it is looking a little different though. and we are actually starting here with a beautiful shot high up in the sky looking at a central london. a

for today is another dry one and a very warm for the bulk of the uk. as always, there is an exception to the role and that is the east coast. parts of the east coast are shrouded in low cloud, some mist and mark at the moment. most of that will burn back to the coast. if you are stuck underneath it, it will peg back the temperatures. on the west coast some showers in the western isles and the west of northern ireland will pull away as the weather front moves back into the atlantic through the day. in between, a lot of sunshine, some fair weather cloud, turning the sunshine hazy. yesterday, we reached 25.1 celsius in scotland. that was the highest temperature of the year so far. today we could equal that, or we could even be that. it is quite possible we could hit 26. down on the east coast under that cloud, more likely to be in the low teens. this evening and overnight a new weather front from the south—west will introduce some thundery showers for south—west england and the

channel islands. we will see a return to that low cloud lapping in from north sea across eastern and northern areas. not a particularly cold night. not a particularly cold start to the day tomorrow. the thundery showers in the west will advance north. getting into parts of the midlands and the south—east through the day. as the low cloud recedes towards the coast. tomorrow's top temperature could be 26 or 27. we are not done with the warm weatherjust 26 or 27. we are not done with the warm weather just yet. i love it when you have forecasts like that. thank you, carol. en'oy our time like that. thank you, carol. en'oy your time in fl like that. thank you, carol. en'oy your time in the d like that. thank you, carol. en'oy your time in the forest. i like that. thank you, carol. en'oy your time in the forest. sorry i like that. thank you, carol. enjoy your time in the forest. sorry to i your time in the forest. sorry to court over you. it’s your time in the forest. sorry to court over yon-— high polluting vehicles will be charged to drive into the centre of birmingham from today. it's part of the city's new clean air zone, which will see cars, taxis and vans pay £8 for entry per day. our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt is in birmingham. good morning, justin.

and roman baths. but back in march, bath kicked off a nationwide transport transformation when it became the first city outside london to introduce one of these clean air zones. but unlike in birmingham, there will be no charges for polluting private cars here. commercial vans and taxis which don't meet emissions standards, will pay £9. hgvs and buses which don't, will pay £100. so how come polluting private cars don't pay? the cities are different from one another. they have different geographies, and they have different levels of pollution to start with. so that's where the modelling has told us that we don't need to charge cars, and should be compliant by the end of this year without. bath bus operator first group says the introduction of the caz persuaded it to bring forward plans to upgrade all its vehicles to meet the new standards. but residents on some busy roads outside the new clean air zone say

they're getting more hgv traffic, as drivers change routes to avoid the charges. it is a different story 150 miles away in nottingham. here, any vehicle can drive through the city, because nottingham cancelled its plans for a clean air zone. that's not because nottingham is a dirty city. quite the opposite. its buses run on bio—gas created from food and farm waste. it has a fleet of zero emission electric taxis, an electric tram network, and has already reconfigured the roads to encourage fewer cars to drive into the centre and persuade more people to take public transport. we've been on a path towards cleaner airfor a long time. we implemented some anti—congestion measures. for example, we introduced the workplace parking levy, which was a charge on parking

spaces at workplaces. it's helped us to develop a really integrated public transport system, which is very popular with people, and therefore, they're less likely to bring their car into work. which goes to show that there are lots of different ways that our towns and cities can clean up their air. back here in birmingham i am joined by councillor waseem safia, who is on the _ by councillor waseem safia, who is on the birmingham committee for transport — on the birmingham committee for transport. other cities have managed not to— transport. other cities have managed not to charge cards. how come birmingham is charging car drivers? we carried _ birmingham is charging car drivers? we carried out some modelling tooking — we carried out some modelling looking at a clean air zone that doesn't — looking at a clean air zone that doesn't charge private cars. it showed — doesn't charge private cars. it showed we wouldn't get to the legal limits— showed we wouldn't get to the legal limits we _ showed we wouldn't get to the legal limits we were required. here showed we wouldn't get to the legal limits we were required.— limits we were required. here in birmingham _ limits we were required. here in birmingham our _ limits we were required. here in

surge in hounslow. there were long queues after the vaccinations were offered to stop them going to waste. cheerleading, like you see in american sports stadiums, has become a sport in itself. it's come over to london, and could — within a few years — feature in the olympics. ultimate cheer, from south west london, has already become one of europe's leading groups, and prides itself on being fully inclusive, with the team being made up of different sexes, ages and abilities. seeing the kids fall in love with the sport is so nice. it's exercise, conditioning, tumbling. everybody wants to learn to do a flip. dancing, performing — like, being sassy and having loads of energy. it encompasses everything that you can't really find in any other sport. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the hammersmith & city line

due to faulty trains. just before the weather, take a look at how some people were cooling down yesterday — over 100 feet above the streets of london. this sky pool is near the us embassy in nine elms — just south of the thames — and is believed to be the world's first transparent pool built between two sky scrappers. first transparent pool built between two sky scrapers. swimmers can enjoy views of parliament and the london eye while they swim their lengths of the 25—metre pool. now the weather with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday put paid to all those jokes about bank holiday mondays and the weather being terrible. it was a slow start — we had a bit of mist and fog at first and low cloud — it cleared, though.

and, again, if we've got any of that around this morning, it clears quickly. then we're dry, sunny and very warm once more. we were just about nearly at 25 celsius yesterday in the greater london area, and again today, 25 — possibly 26 celsius. as we go through the night tonight, actually, the temperatures are going to hold up certainly into double figures — the odd mist and fog patch into tomorrow morning — a warm night and, actually, a few warm nights ahead of us. as i say, staying in double figures — maybe the low teens in some spots. as we go through the coming days, it looks like this. we hold on to warmth right the way through until the weekend. when does the big breakdown come? well, there are a few showers maybe to just push our way late tomorrow, overnight into thursday, and then after that, fairly dry and settled for the end of the week until the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now.

from the tournament if she continued to avoid them. american tennis great billiejean king said osaka was "incredibly brave to reveal her truth about her struggle with depression and she should get the space and time she needs". fellow tennis legend martina navratilova said she was so sad about osaka, adding that the situation was about more than doing or not doing a press conference. she wished naomi luck, adding that "we are all pulling for you". british heptathlete katarina johnson—thompson also praised osaka's bravery, adding: "mental health, especially in sport, is such a risky topic to be open about. hopefully change will come off the back of her withdrawal and it will open up conversations around depression in sport to break down the stigma." while american basketball star stephen curry said it was a decision osaka should never have been put in a position to make, praising herfor taking the high road, and adding "major respect". we're joined now by the broadcaster and former british number one annabel croft.

attention on her and she is now a four—time grand slam champion, amassed over $20 million. she been a voice for black lives matter. things have happened so quickly, she is under immense pressure. when she has done her recent press conferences she has been one of the most fun, quirky, interesting, in demand and i wasjust surprised quirky, interesting, in demand and i was just surprised because quirky, interesting, in demand and i wasjust surprised because i have always felt she was slightly starting to enjoy the press conferences and have so much to say and she said things slightly differently, which made her much more interesting. clearly there were things bubbling under the surface, or i wonder what has triggered her to feel the way she feels. lots or i wonder what has triggered her to feel the way she feels.- to feel the way she feels. lots of eo - le to feel the way she feels. lots of people have _ to feel the way she feels. lots of people have praised _ to feel the way she feels. lots of people have praised her- to feel the way she feels. lots of people have praised her for- to feel the way she feels. lots of| people have praised her for being to feel the way she feels. lots of. people have praised her for being so people have praised herfor being so open and honest about how she was feeling, and some of the struggles she has had with depression. i suppose in balance with that you also have, there was a huge responsibility on tennis stars like her to take part in these media press conferences, particularly after games and things like that. i

suppose that is the thing that people are resting with, these are the things she had to do but she is struggling with them, and people should maybe listen to what she is saying and try to address that. it is a very fine balance because the sport is part of the entertainment industry in a way, and when you sign up industry in a way, and when you sign up to play those tournaments, you are going to end that prize money, there is an obligation and responsibility to be able to give a bit responsibility to be able to give a hit back so they can promote these great events. even into the entertainment world, actors will sign into a film, and their money and then have to promote the film. you mentioned billiejean king as she fought hard as she is a bit torn on the subject, but she fought so hard to get women's tennis onto a platform so that these players could enjoy and be part of this great sport. women's sport in general has fought really hard to get the

airtime on tv, get as many interviews, as many column inches out there to promote women sport. this is a bit of a full stop to it and asks many more questions. perhaps naomi will need a lot of help, i imagine, and we have to work with her, help her to be able to do these interviews because at the end of the day if you just watch a sport and the footage it is boring, you want to hear about the characters, how they have won their matches were perhaps to tell us why they felt they lost today. it is a very difficult balance with what she has said because you need to respect that she has talked about her mental health problems, though how do we work? as roger federer said at the beginning of his career, he was always taught never to treated the media at the enemy, but as a bridge to his fans and he has always been a great communicator. we need to get

naomi to the point where she is comfortable with the press, we don't want to be her enemy. the comfortable with the press, we don't want to be her enemy.— want to be her enemy. the line between us _ want to be her enemy. the line between us is _ want to be her enemy. the line between us is a _ want to be her enemy. the line between us is a bit _ want to be her enemy. the line between us is a bit dodgy - want to be her enemy. the line between us is a bit dodgy but i want to be her enemy. the line i between us is a bit dodgy but we will persevere if we can for a moment because i'm curious. when you are in the public spotlight you were so young. same happened to you really early. did you feel the pressure and, how was it for you? well, i do remember being in floods of two years in some press conferences and i didn't understand, i was not mature —— floods rts. i felt enormous pressure and it got on top of mate. much older woman now, life is in a different place and i have been able to put sport into context and understand what i was trying to do and i would still welcome the opportunity to have mary shelley, to understand what we do on the lip side. sometimes i am nervous. i think if she could try to

shift her mindset, naomi, into understanding how the press fits with the sport to be able to promote it and get it onto a platform, because let's face it, everybody�*s attention is split in some different directions, if we want tennis to keep going as one of the big sports out there, we need the whole press and the media and players to work together so i would love opportunity together so i would love opportunity to see where that's it in terms of what she is trying to do she needed time away, come to terms with what has happened and hopefully when she rejoins the she can engage with the press at the irony of this is that what she has said will make her even more in demand and under pressure. such a difficult situation. thank you very much for your wisdom on this subject this morning, annabel croft.

earlier we were talking about how it is a big day for england's footballers. several will be dropped for the forthcoming european championships and on dealing with the media, one thing gareth southgate did when he took over, when england were in a bad place, he cultivated those relationships with the press and got some of those players who would be criticised to come out and talk about their back stories to the media and that now, a lot of the press surrounding... maybe they are playing better, as well, it is bit more positive press because through the media they have encouraged them to tell the story about how they came to play for england and the journey they have made to get their stuff that has definitely happened but they are a team. a tennis player, you are out there on your own and it is hard. sometimes they had to do press conferences and sometimes it is intrusive and it does cause real, clearly, issues for players like naomi osaka, who are struggling with bad mental health.—

social, high or very high uv levels and temperatures up to 25, possibly 26 degrees. along the north sea coastline, under that cloud, 26 degrees. along the north sea coastline, underthat cloud, it 26 degrees. along the north sea coastline, under that cloud, it will be considerably cooler. as we head through the evening and overnight, once again all that low cloud, missed negative returns further inland. we have a weather front can up inland. we have a weather front can up from the south which is introducing some thundery showers across the channel islands and also south—west england. as a result, it will not be a particularly cold night but we start tomorrow with those showers which, through the day, will continue to migrate northwards, getting into northern ireland, the midlands and parts of the low cloud, this time it will recede back towards the north sea coastline, but tomorrow we could still have highs of 26, possibly 27 degrees. as we go through the issue in few days, you will find there will be a few showers but for many it will still be dry in the sunshine, just not quite warm as it

if it takes me three, four, five months i've got to carry on doing this, i will be doing it. and one group has galvanized more volunteers into action than any other. i really, really wanted to get involved. the nhs, they need this help. they need it now. and if i can help them do that, then, 100%, iwill. if you know that you could help someone, just go and do it, i because now is the time when you can actually — you can be that _ person and help someone. rossjoins us now from his home. thank you very much for being with us today. i know this is something you have spent quite a bit of time with over the course of the pandemic, seeing the sorts of things people are doing, how they are volunteering. i imagine pretty dark time for all of us, it has probably lifted your spirits.— lifted your spirits. absolutely. it is fantastic. _ lifted your spirits. absolutely. it is fantastic. we _ lifted your spirits. absolutely. it is fantastic. we have _ lifted your spirits. absolutely. it is fantastic. we have been - lifted your spirits. absolutely. it i is fantastic. we have been through such a dark period and we are probably not out of it. that is the

more time and benefited from helping other people and also they have made friends. i went to one street in high wycombe where i was a 20% of the people didn't know anybody else in their street and now they all know each other and have someone to rely on and it has actually brought them together, you know? as we say, in one of our darkest times of. hoop in one of our darkest times of. how will we keep _ in one of our darkest times of. how will we keep this _ in one of our darkest times of. how will we keep this volunteer spirit going, when eventually, when ever it is, when this is over, how do we maintain itand is, when this is over, how do we maintain it and keep it going? i think that isa maintain it and keep it going? i think that is a very good question. if we can hold up to 25% of it i would be very happy. the fact is, as we know, we are not through it yet. the impact that lockdown will have had on people's mental health and on their physical health is something wejust don't their physical health is something we just don't know about so we have still got 2500 people volunteering every day at vaccination sites, but as you say, as we come out of this, i honestly hope that the generosity of spirit remains and we can hold onto it. ~ . .

this is bbc news with the latest headlines. just five months old and making history — a baby with a devastating genetic disorder has become one of the first nhs patients to get a potentially life—saving gene therapy. as thousands rush for a jab in west london, there are warnings that a rise in case numbers could delay the lifting of all restrictions in england later this month. i think at the moment, the data suggests that we need to be cautious, we mustn't lose all the gains that have been made over the last few months by a mature and hasty, non—evidence—based loosening of restrictions. will you be affected if thejune 21st unlocking is pushed back? i'd love to hearfrom you this morning —
