good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. to delay or not to delay? a week to go until a decision is made on the lifting of all remaining restrictions in england. the duke and duchess of sussex announce the arrival of their second child, a baby girl, lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. buying now and paying later but at what cost? use of it has quadrupled over lockdown. but new rules are coming to help customers access credit, while staying well protected. i talk to the boss of klarna about what's at stake. suspended from international cricket.

england bowler ollie robinson is dropped from the test squad while an investigation continues into offensive tweets he made as a teenager. and tales from our sunday spent with d—day veteran harry billinge, viewing the opening ceremony of the british normandy memorial. good morning. a fairly cloudy start for many of us, a few showers, they will fade and the sun will come out that there will be heavy and thundery showers in north—east and wales. —— england and scotland. it's monday the 7th ofjune. our top story. there's a week to go until the government announces whether or not remaining restrictions on social contact will end in england onjune 21st. but some scientists are calling for a delay, following a rise in the number of cases of the delta variant, first identified in india. tim muffett reports.

the summer solstice, june 21st, the date on which this and this is due to end in england. whereas this and this should be allowed once more. but will that happen? in seven days�* time, the government will make its decision, and doubts are growing, along with an increase of cases of the delta variant of coronavirus which was first identified in india. personally i would very much like to see masks remaining in place. we've got to consider delaying the opening up that was planned on the 21st, and wait and see what happens in terms of the number of hospital admissions, and sadly the number of deaths that may result. ijust need to have a hug! the current plan for all restrictions on social contact to end on the same day is dividing opinion. it's more because unvaccinated right

now that i would say yes, but depending on the people, if you're not vaccinated, i can understand you're maybe not that comfortable. i'd feel 0k sat next to someone on the train as long as they were wearing a mask, but i think the two going, social distancing and masks going at the same time, would probably be a bit much. it wouldn't bother me if we waited a couple of weeks intojuly, - because of the indian variant. i think that that element - of caution might be worthwhile in the long run for us. surge testing is being ramped up in a number of places. from today, postcodes in reading and wokingham, for example, will be amongst places being targeted. i'm hoping that we get at least 50% of people coming forward. and even that would pick up a lot of positive tests we didn't know about before. so even that would be a success for us. now, to help people, what we're going to do is we're actually going to hand out postcards and leaflets to households, so it's not even necessarily reliant on them reading the media. booking will open in england this week for under 30 to get their first dose of vaccine.

on this there is widespread agreement. more jabs in more arms means a faster route back to normality. tim muffett, bbc news. borisjohnson is facing the prospect of a defeat in the commons later over the government's cut to the overseas aid budget. more than 30 conservative mps want him to reinstate the commitment to spend 0.7% of national income on international development, rather than 0.5%. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. there are two things to look out for today. firstly, does this vote actually happen? is it granted by the speaker of the house of commons? and if it is, do the rebels, the former prime minister theresa may among them, have the numbers to defeat the government, given that borisjohnson has a big majority? so what then are the arguments on the two sides? well, the rebels say the government should be committed to what it promised in the conservative election manifesto back in 2019,

to spend 0.7% of our national income on international aid. the government says, look, the covid costs are coming in, so we are revising that number down to half a percent of national income, until we can afford to raise it again. and plenty of the government's supporters say, cutting international aid for now is popular. the duke and duchess of sussex have announced the birth of their second child, a baby girl named lilibet diana. the couple, who have not released any photos of the new baby, said she was born on friday at a hospital in california. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. it was a photo that announced a second baby was on the way. taken in the garden of their new home in california back in february. and it was close to here at the santa barbara cottage hospital that their daughter was born on friday, weighing 7 lbs, 11 oz.

in a statement, the couple said they felt blessed. their daughter will be called lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. she will be known as lily. it's a name loaded with royal significance. lilibet was the queen's childhood family nickname. diana, in honour of lily's late grandmother, the princess of wales. the big revelations in the couple's interview with oprah winfrey in march included future family plans. to have a boy and then a girl, what more can you ask for? but now we've got our family, we've got four of us and our two dogs, it's great. done, done? two is it? done. two is it, two is it. lily's older brother archie was born while the couple still lived in the grounds of windsor castle.

with royal great—grandpa rents nearby. two years later, family tensions have changed the dynamic dramatically. lily will be raised in california, by a duke and duchess carving out a life outside of the royal family. daniela relph, bbc news. thailand begins a mass vaccination programme this morning, with the country currently experiencing a severe covid outbreak. so far, only 2.5 million people out of a population of 66 million have received at least one dose of a vaccine. jonathan head is at bangkok's central railway station. jabs are being given out there today. good to talk to you. give us an idea of what the uptake has been like so far. , , _ , like so far. pretty busy here, this is a massive _ like so far. pretty busy here, this is a massive new _ like so far. pretty busy here, this is a massive new building, - like so far. pretty busy here, this is a massive new building, not i like so far. pretty busy here, this i is a massive new building, not even formally opened yet, to take on bangkok's or the country's transport

yeah, it needs to get back its crucial tourism industry. if they can get their doses this month, we can get their doses this month, we can see the country catch up because they are seeing 4000 new cases of new infections variants of covid—i9 every day which is worrying people in the health system here. this is long—awaited, lots of criticism about them being slow. they are struggling like so many countries to buy vaccine on the open market and thatis buy vaccine on the open market and that is difficult because every other country once these vaccines as well so no one is quite sure whether this quite impressive start can keep up this quite impressive start can keep up the momentum, they can keep enough vaccine coming through to get this country protected in the way we are seeing in places like britain and the united states. interesting, thank ou and the united states. interesting, thank you for— and the united states. interesting, thank you for that, _ and the united states. interesting, thank you for that, jonathan, - and the united states. interesting, thank you for that, jonathan, live l thank you for that, jonathan, live from bangkok. regulators in the us are expected to decide later today whether to approve a new treatment for alzheimer 5 disease. aducanumab would be given as a monthly infusion targeting a protein that builds up in the brains it has a chequered history, with many doctors remaining sceptical, but if it's given

the green light, it would be the first new alzheimer's treatment since 2003. stars of the small screen celebrated their work at the tv bafta awards last night. michaela coel�*s "i may destroy you" was the big winner, taking best leading actress, director and drama writer. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson was watching. i may destroy you. these bafta tv awards were dominated by one woman. michaela coel. the bbc one drama, i may destroy you, was based on michaela coel�*s own experience of being sexually assaulted. how did last night end? it was named best miniseries and she was best actress. to go along with baftas she'd already won for directing and writing the show. speaking backstage, she explained how making the programme had been cathartic. i'm getting a bit emotional. it was, to be honest, incredible. it really helped me get past

some troubling stuff. and what it enabled me to do is sort of pair something quite tragic with something quite beautiful. i did used to think i could read your mind at times. i don't believe that's normal. bbc three's normal people was a huge word—of—mouth lockdown hit. here its star paul mescal was named best actor. do you have any worries it's going to be the biggest thing you ever do? totally! that's, like, intrusive thought, give up now, quit while you're ahead. but fingers crossed it won't be. where are you going to put it? probably mum and dads, i'd say? yeah, yeah. i100% wouldn't be in this position, standing on a kind of fake red carpet talking about a bafta that i've just won, if it wasn't for them. what are their names? paul and dervla. they're going to be looking forward to this, aren't they? yes, yes, yes. get the kettle on. exactly! and the most complained about tv

programme of 2020 is now a bafta winning show. diversity�*s black lives matter dance routine on britain's got talent led to more than 25,000 ofcom complaints. it won the audience vote for the tv moment of the year. i have to say thank you to the people that complained, to the people that did put all of that abuse out there online, because you showed the truth. you showed exactly why this performance and this moment was necessary. romesh ranganathan. it was a hugely diverse set of bafta winners, right across the board, including romesh ranganathan for best entertainment performance. but he warned against complacency. it's long, steady changes that sort of get built into the system. so, you know, i hope that this isn't one of those things where we go, this has been the most diverse ever, and then we sort of, "we've got that, let's move back". i hope that it continues and we continue moving on. these baftas were held in a covid

compliant tv studio with nominees in performance categories allowed to attend if they wore a mask. others had to watch remotely, so that when long lost family won in the feature category, nicky campbell and davina mccall were seen celebrating on a sofa. casualty. and when casualty was named best soap, the biggest casualty was their broadband. it's hoped that by the time of the baftas next year, normal service will have been resumed. colin paterson, bbc news. interesting how things are still being affected.— interesting how things are still being affected. things like that, it's so hard _ being affected. things like that, it's so hard to _ being affected. things like that, it's so hard to generate - being affected. things like that, it's so hard to generate the - it's so hard to generate the atmosphere without an audience. missing an audience. like atmosphere without an audience. missing an audience.— missing an audience. like many thins in missing an audience. like many things in life! _ four giant cooling towers at a former power station in staffordshire have been demolished. the 117 metre concrete towers, which have dominated rugeley�*s skyline for decades,

due to travel restrictions, many british veterans and their families had to watch the ceremony virtually. breakfast regulars may know one of them very well, harry billinge. he raised tens of thousands of pounds for the memorial, and breakfast'sjohn maguire was with him to watch the grand opening. guard of honour! guard of honour, shun! thank you, lads, and god bless you, thank you. he always insists that he's not a hero, but try telling that to the friends and supporters who joined harry billinge to witness his dream become a reality. as a teenager, he was one of the first onto the normandy beaches on the day. and he's been back since, most recently for the 75th anniversary two years ago, when he sat on the bbc breakfast

sofa and told us of the comrades he'd left behind. i was lucky, i'm here. all the heroes are dead, and i'll neverforget them as long as i live. yesterday, he returned to the sofa. sun shines on the righteous. the guest of honour at a special screening of the official opening of the british normandy memorial. a cause he's championed and raised tens of thousands of pounds to build. i want to say a very special good morning to one of our greatest champions, mr harry billinge. i know he's watching with his many friends in st austell this morning. harry, you've been an inspiration, and we do thank you. he will talk to everybody - and anybody and that's why he's raised so much money for this. monumental memorial to those that gave their lives. harry is a big part of our community and for him, for us to be able to be here with him is amazing. he does it from his heart, and he's done what he does for the boys that didn't come home, so. he is out collecting,

he's out collecting three or four times a day, i in the market all day, collecting, all day yesterday - he was collecting and all weekend. i so he dedicates his life savingl for his past comrades and that. he would, of course, have loved to be there, to touch the stones that bear the names of 22,442 people under british command who died in the battle of normandy, those who never made it home. despite having to watch via satellite link, this in no way obscures the enormous regard and admiration in which we hold our veterans, or diminishes our debt of gratitude to the more than 22,000 men and women whose names are now permanently inscribed in stone in this place of honour above gold beach. instead of northern france, par near st austell the next best thing as harry was surrounded with those he loves

and who love him. i can't thank millions of people, millions who have written to me, from all over the world, and who have subscribed to that memorial. it means more to me than anything. to everyone who has ever given a small amount to those who have given a great amount, i really humbly thank you, one and all. don't call me sir, my name is harry! hip hip, hurray! i spent most of it crying, didn't i? ijust really wanted him to be there, on the opening, - and i think that was... it'sjust so sad, but. it was very powerful. i cry all the time anyway, so, nothing new there! .

he's happy, now that he's done what he needed to do. he's done an amazing job, hasn't he? yeah. we're just absolutely proud to have him here, to be honest. he's just an inspirational character. he's just, what he's done for the normandy trust and also, he'sjust an inspiring man. part of today's ceremony, forming a guard of honour, the men who wear the same beret and badge as harry. modern day commando engineers, men for whom harry is a great inspiration. it'sjust the influence he has on us, and sort of like trying to aspire to be as good as what those guys did on that day, just so inspirational. just the sacrifice he made is, we wouldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for that. do you hope to get over and see the memorial? oh, yeah, i'll be there. if i have to swim! so, with the ceremonies over, how else would this 96—year—old spend his sunday afternoon?

of course, raising even more money, now for an education centre at the memorial to teach future generations of the sacrifices made by his, the greatest generation. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall. lovely to see harry again as well. it has been such a long campaign, nice to see the end of it. let's take a look at today's papers. as we all await news about what life will look like after the 21st ofjune, the telegraph leads on the health secretary matt hancock's comment that the government is "absolutely open" to delaying the easing of covid restrictions in england. the mail shifts the focus onto conservative mps, who are calling on the government to push ahead with the next stage of the roadmap. the times says british people trying to get back from portugal, before it's moved to the amber list tomorrow, are being met with "chaos" at airports and covid testing sites. the picture there is of d—day

they're a threat to pedestrians and to other road users. and the scooters themselves get in the way. users leave them all over the place, littering our streets. elaine knows the risks. she is partially sighted and relies on inca to help guide her around town. i heard some screaming, and then the next thing i knew, i'd actually been hit by somebody that had come round the corner, gone straight into me, i then lost my balance, ended up falling on inca. bruised my elbow and my knee, which then meant, you know, you just don't go out. the department for transport told the bbc the incident is a matterfor the police. 31 towns are already part of the government's e—scooter rental trials, with six london boroughs getting e—scooter rental schemes today. the aim is to learn more about the risks and benefits of e—scooters,

says the department for transport. it believes they can help reduce congestion and pollution, but wants to make them safer and to find ways to reduce bad behaviour. let's give this thing a go. you kick it off its stand, you get on, give ita push, and, whoa, whoa! so the government believes these things can encourage us all to leave our cars at home. the idea is they kind of extend the transport network by giving us another way to get around. whoa, it goes quite fast! and the operators of the london scheme say many of the issues people have with e—scooters can be addressed. we are using designated parking areas, so when you finish your ride, you go to lock the scooter on your app, you go to press "end ride", if you're outside of a parking zone, what we'll do is actually show you within our app where the nearest appropriate parking location is,

and how you can get there. some environmental campaigners are saying now private e—scooters should be legalised too. the research shows that private e—scooters are what really get people out of their cars. because they own them, they're not leaving them around. screaming. so if you hate e—scooters, be warned. the chances are, you will be seeing more of them in our towns and cities in the years to come. justin rowlatt, bbc news, milton keynes. i feel you ifeel you might i feel you might want to be ifeel you might want to be in i feel you might want to be in touch about that this morning! you know how to do that. you about that this morning! you know how to do that.— about that this morning! you know how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know — how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know and _ how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know and we _ how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know and we are _ how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know and we are on - how to do that. you can e-mail us, let us know and we are on social i let us know and we are on social media. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. there's a warning children living in poverty are experiencing serius mental health issues as a direct result of lockdown measures. the childhood trust worked with 75 london based charities and community organisations, and says it found more than a quarter of the youngsters it spoke to expressed suicidal thoughts. the trust is this week launching its £4 million champions for children campaign, funding 11! children's charities across london. londoner michaela coel has been named best actress at the bafta tv awards, after also winning baftas for writing and directing her drama i may destroy you. she picked up the best actress prize as well as best mini—series at the bafta tv ceremony in the capital last night.0ther london winners include dance group diversity, who won the "must—see moment" award for their controversial britain's got talent routine, which reflected the killing of george floyd and the black lives matter movement. a ballet school in london is hoping to make dance accessible for young muslim girls.

the grace and poise academy is the first of its kind in the country offering specially adapted classes in line with islamic teachings. pupils move to poetry instead of music and the classes are all female. all girls should be able to go to ballet. it doesn't matter if it's ballet and you're muslim, you can still go. when i'm older i want to still do ballet, so i can become a professional and i can be a teacher. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the roads, pentonville road is closed from angel to claremont square because of a collision. disruption on the m25 — between junctions 25 for enfield and j26 for waltham abbey — the outside lane is closed in both directions for emergency repairs

the squad, and said he was "embarrassed" and "ashamed". and it's been tough for the england side to deal with. i think we have to take it on the surface. what i think the most important thing is that ollie is part of this dressing room and we have to support him, we have to try and do everything that we could to give him an opportunity to learn and to understand that he has to do better. the first test ended in a draw at lord's, with england resisting the temptation to take on a run chase, after new zealand batted on before declaring at lunch. that left england needing 273 to win, but neither side got close to victory, and they shook hands on the draw. england manager gareth southgate says he's got one final selection decision to make with the euros less than a week away. but there's still strong competition for places, as demonstrated in their final warm—up match — a 1—0 win over

romania in middlesbrough. and scotland's steve clarke has similar selection headaches. they also won 1—0, away to luxembourg. katie gornall reports. days from the start of the tournament and still lots of gaps to fill. fans will have their own picks for england's opener against croatia, but they were unlikely to see many of them here. with key players unavailable, this was an unfamiliar line—up. before they kicked a ball, they took a knee. again, some felt the need to boo. booing. in the first half, england had chances against romania, but one thing remained in their way, as dominic calvert—lewin jadon sancho were denied by the crossbar. but romania couldn't cope with jack grealish. that meant a penalty, and marcus rashford, captain for the first time, stepped up. nervous? of course not. unlike england, romania aren't going to the euros. still they forced the best from sam johnstone. minutes later, another chance from the spot. this time it wasjordan henderson.

his first game since february. perhaps it showed. still, england head into the euros with a win, but no one is getting carried away just yet. after their draw against the netherlands, steve clarke's side arrive confident and clinical, thanks to che adams. luxembourg will find more creative ways to stop them, but against ten men scotland failed to push home their advantage. still, this will be their first major tournament in over 20 years, and they've a spring in their step. katie gornall, bbc news. roger federer says he decided to withdraw from the french open to protect his fitness. he came through a gruelling match in the third round and he'll take time to recover ahead of wimbledon. and serena williams suffered a shock defeat in her quest for a record equalling 24th grand slam. she was beaten in straight sets in the fourth round by elena ribarkina. like federer, she'll now be firmly focused on wimbledon. alfie hewett and gordon reid have become the most successful all—british doubles pair, thanks to a straight—sets win in the wheelchair final.

they've now won 11 grand slams together. hewett is also into the singles final later this week. lewis hamilton says his rare mistake in the azerbaijan grand prix was a "humbling experience", as he missed the chance to retake the lead in the f1 world championship. main rival max verstappen was leading before a late puncture ended his race. at the restart hamilton was second, but he locked up his tyres, running into the escape road and dropping to 15th. sergio perez won for the first time this season. dina asher—smith has booked her place at the olympics — she was in great form racing in the netherlands, winning the 100 metres in a season's best time. and mo farah insists he can still make tokyo, despite missing the qualifying time for the 10,000 metres at the british championships on saturday. he's not the only one struggling. alastair brownlee has conceded he has next to no chance of defending his olympic triathlon title after being disqualified from the world series event in leeds.

he was ruled to have dunked a rival during the swimming leg. his brotherjonny has already qualified for tokyo and race winner alex yee looks likely to take the other place in tokyo games. i've really struggled over the last three or four months with an injury, and i needed a bit of a miracle today. i've done everything i can in the last three months. i've trained as hard as i can, i've, you know, i've done all the medical treatment i can, i've had the best support team i possibly could have. i've done everything i could, and, eh, i needed a bit of luck today and i didn't get it. i know you were there. hugely disappointing. it i know you were there. hugely disappointing-— disappointing. it was hugely disappointing. _ disappointing. it was hugely disappointing. you - disappointing. it was hugely disappointing. you get - disappointing. it was hugely disappointing. you get a - disappointing. it was hugely i disappointing. you get a sense of how much the brownlee brothers have done for the sport. also, alex yi won that race absolutely fantastic. so there are other people coming through. so there are other people coming throu~h. ., ., . ., , through. you notice how interested i am? when i — through. you notice how interested i am? when i talk _ through. you notice how interested i am? when i talk about _ through. you notice how interested i am? when i talk about golf - through. you notice how interested i am? when i talk about golf you i through. you notice how interested i am? when i talk about golf you just | am? when i talk about golf you just glaze over. am? when i talk about golf you 'ust alaze over. , , ,

atlantic, this is a weather front coming our way. it is not going to make huge amounts of progress because it is bumping into an area of high pressure. so eventually it will introduce some cloud and eventually in the next couple of days it would bring in some rain. we are starting off on a cloudy note, the cloud along the coast of the south east of england would clear this afternoon. low cloud of mist and fog in the north—east of scotland will be with us for much of the day. further showers develop in parts of the south—east. many of us will miss them altogether. for much of england and wales, if you ignore those showers it will be dry with sunshine. some of the showers across the north—east of england and the north—east of scotland will be heavy and thundery. for northern ireland, in the west of the cloud will thicken out of the weather front stop as it will do across the western isles. highs of 16 degrees in stornoway. up to 23 in the south—eastern corner. through this evening and overnight at the showers pushing to the north sea. some clear

skies. mr migrant fog patches forming. then we have got the weather front advancing a bit more, introducing thicker cloud and showery rain by the end of the night. the breeze will pick up as well. it is not going to be a cold night. tomorrow here is the weather front. still not making huge inroads across the uk. high pressure still firmly in charge. it would be busier tomorrow in the north and west. we will have all of this cloud is still some sherry outbreaks of rain. further south and east we are back into the sunshine. it will feel quite warm with temperatures into the low to mid 20s. under this cloud and rain we are looking at 14 to 18 degrees. as we head through wednesday, the wind coming from the south—west. that is going to drag in more moisture, so there will be more cloud around. the weather front introducing showery rain. one thing you will notice is it will feel humid. temperatures up to in the

south, 15 in the north. that humidity is going to stay with us as we go through thursday and friday. look at that. quite something. i like a bit of orange. our shopping habits changed massively during the pandemic and one of the big differences was the growth in so—called buy now, pay later products. however, the government wants to bring in new rules to make sure people don't take on too much debt. nina's got the latest for us. good morning. buy now, pay later is a good opportunity for some people to split payments. it does come with risk. good morning. the growth in online shopping came with a massive growth in buy now, pay later products. they do what they say on the tin — you get something now, but pay for it down the line. this can be a brilliant way to borrow. but they've been operating with different rules to credit cards and in february, the regulator said urgent changes are needed. we'll speak to one of the biggest bosses in the industry shortly

about what that means. but first, the pros and cons of buy now, pay later. by now, pay later, a simple idea — get what you want straight away and delay, or maybe even split the cost. you owe the payment provider rather than the retailer. but it isn't for everyone. no, because i wouldn't like to get in debt. no. no, i've got a credit card and i think that's it for me, thank you. i think it's more comfortable to pay at the same time. no, because that scares me. it's like debt. i can't do that. but with no interest charges, it can be used as a free way to borrow. i'm an impulsive buyer, so ijust buy it and then see if i like it. if i don't like it, ijust send it back. so i like it. it was, i guess, easier, just to split it over the three payments. it's easier to get refunds and send stuff back and it's like, it's no hassle, if you know what i mean, so you are not

like thinking, oh, i got to wait for more money to come back into so i can buy more stuff. so, yeah, i use that quite a lot to be fair. our use of buy now, pay later products quadrupled over the pandemic. we spent £2.7 billion using services like klarna, clearpay and laybuy last year. the vast majority of that cash went on fashion and footwear. three quarters of users are women. so what's the catch? well, the financial regulator is worried that people are encouraged to spend more, rack up unseen debts and then face difficult and expensive repayments. alice is a personal finance expert who's campaigned for these companies to face tougher rules. i came across young people as young as 19, for whom buy now, pay later was their first interaction with credit and they'd racked up significant sums, several thousand, as close to £10,000 worth in some cases, across multiple buy now, pay later providers. and obviously, there's questions as to whether that

should be possible. and of course, you know, we can argue personal responsibility all we like, but i think in order to make good decisions, the perils of bad decisions also need to be made clear. if i can pay for it in a couple of months, i kind of post it to the back of my head. i've done it numerous times before and i've never had an issue with it, but on this occasion i didn't make the payment in time. it definitely brings the trolley, the shopping trolley, to a higher amount each time. i was not keeping up with it - and i was billing my rent payments and other essential bills, so i had to get it all- together and stop it. one of the biggest criticisms of these firms has been celebrity and influencer driven advertising, selling the product as a positive payment platform, rather than debt. i am pleased to say that i think now buy now, pay laterfirms, some of them have been have been listening to these criticisms, and i have seen things start to improve, particularly around marketing and promotions. so it's great to see that.

i think now the attention is on what the regulation actually looks like. i wasjust remembering one of my firstjob interviews, where i bought a dress on a store card and put off the payment for a while. if that option wasn't available to me, i wouldn't have been able to buy the dress and feel good in the interview. so it is important, isn't it, in a sense to have that availability? absolutely. i think for the sake of financial inclusion and ensuring that we are not excluding people from access to credit, i welcome these products and actually, in many cases i think they can be a better alternative to high interest cards, payday loans, whatever. i think, absolutely. but better doesn't necessarily mean they should be exempt from regulation. so i think there's a balancing act there. the regulator has called for affordability checks and more support for customers who are struggling to repay. the government said it will act as soon as it can, and the details will be crucial for both how we shop and the future of companies like klarna.

let's speak to the global boss of swedish firm klarna, probably the most well—known buy now, pay later company. sebastian siemiatkowski is in london this week, and joins me now. welcome to the uk. good to see you. as of today klarna will be rolled out more widely. tell us how that is going to happen and where you make your money from that?— going to happen and where you make your money from that? sure. what we are announcing — your money from that? sure. what we are announcing today _ your money from that? sure. what we are announcing today is _ your money from that? sure. what we are announcing today is the _ your money from that? sure. what we are announcing today is the ability i are announcing today is the ability with the _ are announcing today is the ability with the usage of our app to use klarna _ with the usage of our app to use klarna everywhere. until now in the uk you _ klarna everywhere. until now in the uk you have been limited to use on the website is currently offering it. the website is currently offering it with — the website is currently offering it. with this new solution you will be able _ it. with this new solution you will be able to— it. with this new solution you will be able to use it everywhere. so it really _ be able to use it everywhere. so it really becomes much better alternative to using credit cards, and it's— alternative to using credit cards, and it's still going to be, as it has _ and it's still going to be, as it has been _ and it's still going to be, as it has been, with zero interest and are zero fees _ has been, with zero interest and are zero fees. ., . . , , ., zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from _ zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from the _ zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from the review _ zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from the review is - zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from the review is that i zero fees. one of the criticisms of klarna from the review is that it i zero fees. one of the criticisms ofj klarna from the review is that it is credit but it doesn't appear to be so. that young people are taking on this debt. but the messaging at the point of purchase is not clear

there's a warning children living in poverty are experiencing serious mental health issues as a direct result of lockdown measures. the childhood trust worked with 75 london based charities and community organisations. it found more than a quarter of the youngsters it spoke to had expressed suicidal thoughts. this week the trust launches a £4 million campaign, funding 111 children's charities across london. e—scooters are available for hire from today across parts of the capital. the trial means people can hire the e—scooters in areas including canary wharf, ealing, hammersmith and fulham. they are limited to 12 and half miles an hour and riders have to complete a safety course. londoner michaela coel has been named best actress at the bafta tv awards. she also won awards for writing and directing her drama "i may destroy you". she picked up the awards at the ceremony in the capital last night. other london winners include, dance group diversity, who won the "must—see moment" award for their routine on britain's got

talent, which reflected the killing of george floyd and the black lives matter movement. a ballet school in north—west london is hoping to make dance accessible for young muslim girls. the grace and poise academy in queen's park is the first of its kind in the country, offering specially adapted classes in line with islamic teachings. pupils move to poetry instead of music and the classes are all female. all girls should be able to go to ballet. it doesn't matter if it's ballet and you're muslim, you can still go. when i'm older i want to still do ballet, so i can become a professional and i can be a teacher. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, minor delays on the bakerloo line between lambeth north and elephant & castle due to a signal failure. but the waterloo & city line reopens today after 15 months of closure. on the trains, there's no service on thameslink between st pancras international and finsbury park because of overhead line problems.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another mild start this morning. temperatures overnight, many places didn't drop below 10 celsius. high pressure still in charge of our weather today, and for the next few days as well. we have got a bit more cloud this morning. some mistiness around as well. that will bring back, the cloud breaks up, and we will see some spells of sunshine. that in turn could lead to one or two showers. but the temperature today still warm, 23 celsius in the light winds. a pleasant evening as well. stays warm and bright into the evening. but overnight we will see the cloud start to disappear. we will get clear spells. minimum temperature not dropping again below 10 celsius, between eight and 12 the minimum overnight. tomorrow, similar conditions. high pressure still in charge, still some sunny spells, and for wednesday as well. for thursday, we start to see a couple of fronts moving in from the west, and that in turn introduces more cloud and some slightly more humid air. temperatures this week, fine, dry,

sunny, staying in the mid 20s. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. to delay or not to delay? a week to go until a decision is made on the lifting of all remaining restrictions in england. the duke and duchess of sussex announce the arrival of their second child, a baby girl.

lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. suspended from international cricket. england bowler ollie robinson is dropped from the test squad while an investigation continues into offensive tweets he made as a teenager. good morning. a cloudy start to the day for many of us, murky along the north—east and south—east coastline, most of that will break, we will see some sunshine but there will be some showers in the north and east. all of the details coming up. it's monday the 7th ofjune. our top story. there's a week to go until the government announces whether or not remaining restrictions on social contact will end in england onjune 21st. but some scientists are calling for a delay, following a rise in the number of cases of the delta variant, first identified in india. tim muffett reports. the summer solstice, june 21st, the date on which this and this

is due to end in england. whereas this and this should be allowed once more. but will that happen? in seven days' time, the government will make its decision, and doubts are growing, along with an increase of cases of the delta variant of coronavirus which was first identified in india. personally i would very much like to see masks remaining in place. we've got to consider delaying the opening up that was planned on the 21st, and wait and see what happens in terms of the number of hospital admissions, and sadly the number of deaths that may result. ijust need to hug my mum! the current plan for all restrictions on social contact to end on the same day is dividing opinion. it's more because i'm vaccinated right now that i would say yes, but depending on the people, if you're not vaccinated,

i can understand you're maybe not that comfortable. i'd feel 0k sat next to someone on the train as long as they were wearing a mask, but i think the two going, social distancing and masks going at the same time, would probably be a bit much. it wouldn't bother me if we waited a couple of weeks intojuly, - because of the indian variant. i think that that element - of caution might be worthwhile in the long run for us. surge testing is being ramped up in a number of places. from today, postcodes in reading and wokingham, for example, will be amongst places being targeted. i'm hoping that we get at least 50% of people coming forward. and even that would pick up a lot of positive tests we didn't know about before. so even that would be a success for us. now, to help people, what we're going to do is we're actually going to hand out postcards and leaflets to households, so it's not even necessarily reliant on them reading the media. booking will open in england this week for under 30s to get their first dose of vaccine. on this there is widespread agreement. more jabs in more arms means a faster route back to normality.

tim muffett, bbc news. we're joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson. we have got a lot to talk about. it really is a crucial week ahead of the 21st ofjune, what can you tell us about latest thoughts? it looks like the latest _ us about latest thoughts? it looks like the latest thoughts _ us about latest thoughts? it looks like the latest thoughts are i us about latest thoughts? it looks like the latest thoughts are quite l like the latest thoughts are quite simply that it is to seem to say whether the government will reopen —— too soon to say whether the government will really reopen england from june 21. yesterday the health secretary matt hancox was pointing out that the government could be open to delay, he said that june 21 was the earliest date at which restrictions could be lifted. what seems to be encouraging people in government and downing street at the moment is this idea that although infections are rising as more transmissible indian or delta

variant is spreading, hospitalisations are not going up at anything like the same place and relatively few people who have had both vaccinations are in hospital being treated for covid. they say if the data looks like that, there is the data looks like that, there is the leeway perhaps to go ahead. there is speculation that it could be delayed by a couple of weeks and there are scientific advisers are suggesting that the government should be cautious. it looks as though we will have to wait until next week to get the definitive answer but it is also interesting that the health secretary is pointing to this separate social distancing review which will come out in a week, and that could still see perhaps facemasks should continue to be worn or people should wear possible continue to work from home. , ~ , home. elsewhere, the prime minister could face a — home. elsewhere, the prime minister could face a possible _ home. elsewhere, the prime minister could face a possible rebellion, i could face a possible rebellion, about the issue of cuts to foreign aid? . �* , about the issue of cuts to foreign aid? ., �* , ., , aid? that's right, the aid budget has been cut _ aid? that's right, the aid budget has been cut from _ aid? that's right, the aid budget has been cut from 0.7% - aid? that's right, the aid budget has been cut from 0.7% of i aid? that's right, the aid budget i has been cut from 0.7% of national income to a 0.5% of national income because of the pandemic. that might seem like a small reduction but

because the economy is also smaller, all of these business closures because of covid and so on, about £3 billion less will be spent on foreign aid this year, and aid agencies warn that could cost tens of thousands of lives. many conservative mps including the former prime theresa may and many former prime theresa may and many former cabinet ministers are unhappy about that and that the government is breaking a manifesto commitment. if there is a vote today, and that is up to the speaker to decide, it is up to the speaker to decide, it is not guaranteed, if there is a vote today, conservative rebels believe they can win, but the argument is arguing strongly we are still spending more on aid than many other culpable countries. —— comparable countries. the duke and duchess of sussex have announced the birth of their second child, a baby girl named lilibet diana. the couple, who have not yet released any photos of the new baby, said she was born on friday at a hospital in california. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. it was a photo that announced a second baby was on the way.

taken in the garden of their new home in california back in february. and it was close to here at the santa barbara cottage hospital that their daughter was born on friday, weighing 7 lbs, 11 oz. in a statement, the couple said they felt blessed. their daughter will be called lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. she will be known as lili. it's a name loaded with royal significance. lilibet was the queen's childhood family nickname. diana, in honour of lili's late grandmother, the princess of wales. the big revelations in the couple's interview with oprah winfrey in march included future family plans. to have a boy and then a girl, what more can you ask for? but now we've got our family, we've got the four of us and our two dogs, it's great.

done, done? two is it? done. two is it, two is it. lili's older brother archie was born while the couple still lived in the grounds of windsor castle. with royal great—grandpa rents nearby. two years later, family tensions have changed the dynamic dramatically. lili will be raised in california, by a duke and duchess carving out a life outside of the royal family. daniela relph, bbc news. regulators in the us are expected to decide later today whether to approve a new treatment for alzheimer's disease. aducanumab would be given as a monthly infusion, targeting a protein that builds up in the brains of alzheimer's patients. it has a chequered history, with many doctors remaining sceptical, but if it's given the green light, it would be the first new alzheimer's treatment since 2003. people using dating apps in the uk

can now display a badge on their profiles to show they have been vaccinated against covid. the scheme has been set up by apps including tinder, hinge and bumble in partnership with the government. those displaying the sticker will be rewarded with free credits or access to premium features although there will be no way of verifying if they have genuinely had the jab. those are some of the main stories around this morning. let's get the weather with carol, how is it looking? good morning, fairly cloudy this morning but it will brighten up. in the north and west this week the general weather will be more cloudy, breezy but not particularly heavy rain. in the south and east it will be warmer and drier with some sunshine and if showers. mixed fortunes this morning as you can see from this weather watcher picture, sunshine in norfolk but on the coast

in west sussex, misty and murky with low cloud. the low cloud will be slow to clear, lasting into the afternoon. in the north—east, some of it will stick for all of today. some showers in parts of the north and east today, some could be heavy and east today, some could be heavy and thundery. towards the west, a fair bit of sunshine but the cloud starting to build in the west through the afternoon. heralding the arrival of weather front. 16 to 23 are the temperatures. eventually the showers pull away to the north sea tonight, mist and fog patches forming, weatherfront tonight, mist and fog patches forming, weather front introducing thick cloud and by the end of the night there will be showery outbreaks of rain in the western isles in north—west northern ireland. it will be breezy here but as you can see from the temperatures, it will not be a cold night across the board. if you want a longer weather forecast,

night across the board. if you want a longer weatherforecast, i will have an half an hour. excellent, we will see you then, thank you! just days before he hosts the g7 summit of world leaders in cornwall, the prime minister is facing a rebellion in the commons over the government's cut to the overseas aid budget. mps say the decision to reduce the funding by almost £4 billion a year could results in tens of thousands of preventable deaths. ministers say the move is temporary, but necessary for now. our world affairs correspondent, richard galpin, reports now on the potential impact of the cuts. inside you will see people receiving service. so this is the sexual reproductive health side. an aid worker with the international planned parenthood federation shows us around a clinic here in mozambique. dealing mainly with reproductive health issues for women. it's busy, many women having travelled a long way to get medicines and contraceptives. he says the work here is saving many lives, thanks to money provided by the uk

and other donors. he cannot believe the british government is now planning to stop funding. very sad, this will be a disaster. the first question for the government is, why, and who will continue to do this, for those young people in rural areas and even in the cities, who receive the service in our clinics who will no longer receive the service for free? who will not have access? so they are at risk of getting stis, hiv, and unwanting pregnancies, and as a consequence, they will die. charities are also warning the cuts come at what is already a difficult time, with dangerous tropical diseases such as guinea worm, bilharzia, and trachoma, which causes blindness, being neglected. millions of lives in africa, they say, are being put at risk. the government has reduced spending

on foreign aid this year from 0.7% of national income to 0.5%, due, it says, to the seismic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy. it's a cut of almost £4 billion. in response, a group of 28 rebel conservative mps and two former prime ministers, theresa may and sirjohn major, have promised to back an amendment to a bill being voted on in the commons today. this would reverse the foreign aid cut next year. the amount of money we're talking about here is 1% of what we spent last year, rightly, tackling covid. and 1%, in the treasury's books, is practically a rounding error. and we shouldn't be trying to fill that by taking it out of money that is going to help people that are starving, or people who are very sick and ill and deprived in the poor world. in a statement, the foreign, commonwealth and development office said tough but necessary decisions had been made on how best

to spend taxpayers' money. they are committed to restoring foreign aid spending to the level of 0.7% of national income when the fiscal situation allows. all eyes are now on the commons, which will determine the fate of many aid projects around the world like the work at this clinic, here in mozambique. richard galpin, bbc news. one of those calling loudly for a reversal to the cuts to foreign aid is the former prime minister, gordon brown. hejoins us now from fife. good morning, lovely to have you on the programme. i know there is a lot to talk to about, vaccines around the world as well which we will come to at a moment. on the issue of foreign aid, mr brown, almost £4 billion reduction, what sort of difference with that moneymaker around the globe? —— would that moneymaker around the globe? it is a life-and-death — moneymaker around the globe? it is a

life-and-death issue, _ moneymaker around the globe? it is a life-and-death issue, we _ moneymaker around the globe? it is a life-and-death issue, we are - life—and—death issue, we are deciding who lives and who dies. particularly if we withdraw the money from vaccination, it is like pulling a needle away from the arm of a kid or a adult who needs vaccination, a 90% cut in polio vaccinations for example. there has been all—party consensus for 25 years that we need 0.7%, we need to play a leading role in the world in age, and this is not the right time to pull things away because this is when the poorest countries need help most. i can see how it can be financed. we are about to get a huge payment from the international monetary fund of $23 billion, covering this cat sits times over, so it makes no —— it covers this cut six times over, so it makes no sense morally or financially. we six times over, so it makes no sense morally orfinancially. we need six times over, so it makes no sense morally or financially. we need to vaccinate everyone because no one is safe until everybody is safe. the

friday, it was said that we should not share doses because they were not share doses because they were not available, isn't it more important that people should get vaccines that in the uk? i am not auoin to vaccines that in the uk? i am not going to deny _ vaccines that in the uk? i am not going to deny people _ vaccines that in the uk? i am not going to deny people in - vaccines that in the uk? i am not going to deny people in the i vaccines that in the uk? i am not going to deny people in the uk i vaccines that in the uk? i am notj going to deny people in the uk at the chance to be vaccinated and if the chance to be vaccinated and if the government decides on medical reasons that young people have to be vaccinated, we must do it. but we can do both. it's a question of ramping up manufacturing capacity. the difficult thing is being done, —— it has been done, we have discovered the vaccine and it can be manufactured. now it is just a matter of logistics, ramping up production in every part of the world. if we produce 2 billion vaccines, 2.5 buy now, we need to produce 11 billion in the next few months. that can be now done, one company moderna said it will produce 3 billion in the next year, so it is a matter of political will to fund this. 200 world leaders havejoined in a letter today saying to the g7

on friday, you are the richest countries in the world, sitting around the same table, this is the one chance we have to get an agreement that we will fund most of the vaccination that is happening around the world as an act of self protection as well as an act of charity. it is the best insurance policy in the world. ftill" charity. it is the best insurance policy in the world. our viewers will be hearing _ policy in the world. our viewers will be hearing a _ policy in the world. our viewers will be hearing a lot _ policy in the world. our viewers will be hearing a lot about i policy in the world. our viewers i will be hearing a lot about covax, the global vaccine sharing programme. what is more important for the uk government to do, give money to covax or doses? it for the uk government to do, give money to covax or doses? it needs to be both, if we — money to covax or doses? it needs to be both, if we have _ money to covax or doses? it needs to be both, if we have excess _ money to covax or doses? it needs to be both, if we have excess doses - be both, if we have excess doses they should not be wasted, but perhaps we give 100 million doses, we need 10 billion, that is only 1%. every country needs to contribute to finance covax which is a great idea, that we coordinate the purchasing and production of vaccines for every part of the world, so we are doing this yearfrom part of the world, so we are doing this year from covax what we did ourselves for the last year, but just for ourselves, we now do it for the rest of the world. you create a virtuous circle, vaccine production

is pushed up and everyone is vaccinated and it is possible and it can be done. friday is a vital time. 200 world leaders, 100 former prime ministers and foreign ministers have signed a letter saying, this is the time, this is the turning point and the moment of opportunity. i'm looking by a big decision by —— for a big decision byjoe biden and borisjohnson on friday and other leaders, it is a matter of who lives because they are vaccinated and who dies because they are not. you mention to _ dies because they are not. you mention to the _ dies because they are not. you mention to the prime - dies because they are not. you mention to the prime minister, the promise is to vaccinate adults by the end of 2022, 18 months away. what would you like to see the date he, the end of this year? what be, the end of this year? what change would you like to see to that promise? i change would you like to see to that romise? ~ ., , . promise? i think the realistic probability — promise? i think the realistic probability is _ promise? i think the realistic probability is we _ promise? i think the realistic probability is we could - promise? i think the realistic probability is we could do - promise? i think the realistic probability is we could do it | promise? i think the realistic. probability is we could do it by promise? i think the realistic - probability is we could do it by the middle of next year. but we cannot do it if it's just a matter of having a fundraiser or handing out the surplus doses. you have to have a plan. every family knows you have to have a plan, and you have to

decide you are going to fund it, then get the vaccine produced, and then get the vaccine produced, and then you have got to get it distributed. so it's notjust a question of setting a date, it's actually setting a plan. we have a promise at the moment from the prime minister but not a plan, and i can see friday being a disappointment if they do not get around the table and say, we will share most of the cost, two thirds of it through the g7, and make sure the world is vaccinated. it is in our interest because it is an insurance policy against the disease mutating and coming back to haunt us here, and even the vaccinated could be affected if there is a variant that we cannot control through existing vaccines. when we speak to public health leaders, local public health leaders on bbc breakfast, many of them call for under 18 is to be vaccinated in the uk. d0 for under 18 is to be vaccinated in the uk. , , i, for under 18 is to be vaccinated in theuk. , i, the uk. do you support that policy? if the medical _ the uk. do you support that policy? if the medical advice _ the uk. do you support that policy? if the medical advice is _ the uk. do you support that policy? if the medical advice is that - the uk. do you support that policy? if the medical advice is that this - if the medical advice is that this is going to prevent the spread of

the disease, and the vaccination does not prevent someone having the disease or spreading it, we have to take the medical advice. the sooner we get a decision on that, the better. but i do repeat, it's possible to ramp up the production of vaccine in such a way that we do not have to make a choice between vaccinating our young and making sure the rest of the world and are vulnerable people, nurses, doctors, health workers putting their lives at risk every day. we have seen in mozambique how little is being done at the moment and how much can be lost if the cuts are done to overseas aid, but we also know that the vulnerable and every part of the world need vaccinating now, as well as health workers, nurses and doctors. ., as health workers, nurses and doctors. . ., ., as health workers, nurses and doctors. ., ., ., doctors. can i also ask you, you met with the duke _ doctors. can i also ask you, you met with the duke and _ doctors. can i also ask you, you met with the duke and duchess - doctors. can i also ask you, you met with the duke and duchess of - doctors. can i also ask you, you met| with the duke and duchess of sussex in scotland, i don't expect you to tell us what was said at that meeting but did the issue of scottish independence come out? i scottish independence come out? i cannot really talk about any private conversations i have had over the

so it's not surprising many of us want to get up close to see it. but sadly, a number of birds and mammals are being injured or disturbed as a result of people getting too close. our environment correspondent paul murphy has been looking at what's being done to tackle the issue. out on patrol with operation seabird. as huge numbers of visitors flock to this coastline, the need to protect wildlife has rarely been greater. we are seeing increased disturbance to our cetaceans, our dolphins offshore, the seals that come onto the beaches and the seabirds, our local seabird colonies. this operation started last year and i'm pleased to be here today to say that it's being launched nationally to raise awareness, to educate. and this is the kind of disturbance the project is trying to stop. this jet skier is breaking all the rules about speed and proximity to breeding birds. any recreational vessel between 100 metres and 300 metres shouldn't be producing a wake. anything closer to 100 metres runs the risk of disturbing the seabirds. it's a sightseeing tour, and i've

been doing it for three years. l we come across a sightseeing boat that's ventured too close to the bird colony at these cliffs. if people get too close to these cliff edges, they will disrupt the actual breeding season for these protected birds, and adults will fly off, they'll expose the chicks to the weather, to predators. try and slow down to six knots. a passing jet skier, who is behaving responsibly, is told about the aims of operation seabird. it's about that education, it's people understanding what causes the disturbance and how it causes disturbance. and i think once people understand that, they'll be able to know how close to approach, what speed to approach. this coastline is one of europe's most important breeding areas for seabirds. and with many more visitors than usual expected to our coastline in the months ahead, this patrol vessel could be in for a busy summer. everybody wants to get out and enjoy the special areas, the special wildlife that we have.

but just as we need to give each other space at this time, we need to give the wildlife space as well. this area is a sensitive habitat for wildlife, but also a tourism hotspot. and balancing these sometimes competing needs is the challenge facing this team. that report from paul murphy. i'm off to make sure i know the differences between the cambridge and the _ differences between the cambridge and the sussex! i corrected myself and the sussex! i corrected myself and then_ and the sussex! i corrected myself and then said exactly the same thing! — and then said exactly the same thin! ., , ., , and then said exactly the same thin! ., , .,, ., thing! even need to stop mentioning it, it is too much _ thing! even need to stop mentioning it, it is too much for _ thing! even need to stop mentioning it, it is too much for me. _ thing! even need to stop mentioning it, it is too much for me. you - it, it is too much for me. you didn't see — it, it is too much for me. you didn't see her _ it, it is too much for me. you didn't see her but _ it, it is too much for me. you didn't see her but she - it, it is too much for me. you didn't see her but she was i it, it is too much for me. wm. didn't see her but she was doing this, what are you doing? hour didn't see her but she was doing this, what are you doing? how can i hel ? this, what are you doing? how can i hel? a this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quick— this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quickiab — this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quickjab in _ this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quickjab in the _ this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quickjab in the head - this, what are you doing? how can i help? a quickjab in the head might| help? a quick 'ab in the head might have helped! — help? a quickjab in the head might have helped! i— help? a quickjab in the head might have helped! i love _ help? a quickjab in the head might have helped! i love working - help? a quickjab in the head might have helped! i love working with i have helped! i love working with ou! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. sussex or cambridge! good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel.

there's a warning children living in poverty are experiencing serious mental health issues as a direct result of lockdown measures. the childhood trust worked with 75 london—based charities and community organisations. it found more than a quarter of the youngsters it spoke to had expressed suicidal thoughts. this week the trust launches a £4 million campaign, funding 111 children's charities across london. e—scooters are available for hire from today, as part of a 12 month trial. they will be available in areas including canary wharf, ealing, hammersmith and fulham. they are limited to 12 and half miles an hour, and riders have to complete a safety course. londoner michaela coel has picked up two bafta tv awards for her drama i may destroy you, including best actress. the series is based on her own experience of sexual assault. other london winners include, dance group diversity,

who won the must—see moment award for their routine on britain's got talent, which reflected the killing of george floyd and the black lives matter movement. a ballet school in north—west london is hoping to make dance accessible for young muslim girls. the grace and poise academy in queen's park is the first of its kind in the country, offering specially adapted classes in line with islamic teachings. pupils move to poetry instead of music and the classes are all female. all girls should be able to go to ballet. it doesn't matter if it's ballet and you're muslim, you can still go. when i'm older i want to still do ballet, so i can become a professional and i can be a teacher. let's take a look at the travel situation now on the tube, minor delays on the bakerloo line between lambeth north and elephant & castle due to a signal failure. but the waterloo and city line reopens today after 15 months of closure. on the trains, there's no service on thameslink between st pancras international and finsbury park because of overhead line problems.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another mild start this morning. temperatures overnight, many places didn't drop below 10 celsius. high pressure still in charge of our weather today, and for the next few days as well. we have got a bit more cloud this morning. some mistiness around as well. that will bring back, the cloud breaks up, and we will see some spells of sunshine. that in turn could lead to one or two showers. but the temperature today still warm, 23 celsius in the light winds. a pleasant evening as well. stays warm and bright into the evening. but overnight we will see the cloud start to disappear. we will get clear spells. minimum temperature not dropping again below 10 celsius, between eight and 12 the minimum overnight. tomorrow, similar conditions. high pressure still in charge, still some sunny spells, and for wednesday as well. for thursday, we start to see a couple of fronts moving in from the west, and that in turn introduces more cloud and some slightly more humid air. temperatures this week, fine, dry, sunny, staying in the mid 20s.

understand that he has to do better. the first test ended in a draw at lord's, with england resisting the temptation to take on a run—chase after new zealand batted on before declaring at lunch. neither side got close to victory, and they shook hands on the draw. england manager gareth southgate says he has a good idea who'll be in his starting line—up for their first match at the euros against croatia on sunday, but he's got one final selection decision to make. england completed their warm up with a 1—0 win over romania, and injuries to familiar faces meant there were nine changes to the side. and it took more than an hour before they made a mark — a penalty from marcus rashford the only goal of the game, in his first match as captain. we've got to get the right balance, find the _ we've got to get the right balance, find the players that are informed, find the players that are informed, find the _ find the players that are informed, find the players that are informed, find the players we think are our best players for different games.

these bafta tv awards were dominated by one woman. michaela coel. the bbc one drama, i may destroy you, was based on michaela coel�*s own experience of being sexually assaulted. how did last night end? it was named best miniseries and she was best actress. to go along with baftas she'd already won for directing and writing the show. speaking backstage, she explained how making the programme had been cathartic. i'm getting a bit emotional. it was, to be honest, incredible. it really helped me get past some troubling stuff. and what it enabled me to do is sort of pair something quite tragic with something quite beautiful. i did used to think i could read your mind at times. i don't believe that's normal. bbc three's normal people was a huge word—of—mouth lockdown hit. here its star paul mescal

was named best actor. do you have any worries it's going to be the biggest thing you ever do? totally! that's, like, intrusive thought, give up now, quit while you're ahead. but fingers crossed it won't be. where are you going to put it? probably mum and dads, i'd say? yeah, yeah. i100% wouldn't be in this position, standing on a kind of fake red carpet talking about a bafta that i've just won, if it wasn't for them. what are their names? paul and dervla. they're going to be looking forward to this, aren't they? yes, yes, yes. get the kettle on. exactly! and the most complained about tv programme of 2020 is now a bafta winning show. diversity�*s black lives matter dance routine on britain's got talent led to more than 25,000 ofcom complaints. it won the audience vote for the tv moment of the year. i have to say thank you to the people that complained,

to the people that did put all of that abuse out there online, because you showed the truth. you showed exactly why this performance and this moment was necessary. romesh ranganathan. it was a hugely diverse set of bafta winners, right across the board, including romesh ranganathan for best entertainment performance. but he warned against complacency. it's long, steady changes that sort of get built into the system. so, you know, i hope that this isn't one of those things where we go, this has been the most diverse ever, and then we sort of, "we've got that, let's move back". i hope that it continues and we continue moving on. these baftas were held in a covid compliant tv studio with nominees in performance categories allowed to attend if they wore a mask. others had to watch remotely, so that when long lost family won in the feature category, nicky campbell and davina mccall were seen celebrating on a sofa. casualty. and when casualty was named best soap, the biggest casualty

was their broadband. it's hoped that by the time of the baftas next year, normal service will have been resumed. colin paterson, bbc news. that is a summary of everything that happened last night. we're joined now by the leader of diversity, ashley banjo. lovely to have you on the show. it was interesting to what you watching that back. i saw your brotherjordan standing alongside you saying he has never seen you more nervous than last night going into those awards. talk is through your emotions during the course of the evening?— talk is through your emotions during the course of the evening? yeah, the whole da . the course of the evening? yeah, the whole day- l— the course of the evening? yeah, the whole day. i didn't _ the course of the evening? yeah, the whole day. i didn't really _ the course of the evening? yeah, the whole day. i didn't really even - the course of the evening? yeah, the whole day. i didn't really even eat. i whole day. i didn't really even eat. i was _ whole day. i didn't really even eat. iwasjust— whole day. i didn't really even eat. i was just focused on the moment. this means — i was just focused on the moment. this means so much more than an award _ this means so much more than an award it— this means so much more than an award. it felt like a chance for the public— award. it felt like a chance for the public to— award. it felt like a chance for the public to say something. we have been _ public to say something. we have been right— public to say something. we have been right in the middle of all of

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. to delay or not to delay? a week to go until a decision is made on the lifting of all remaining restrictions in england. the duke and duchess of sussex announce the arrival of their second child, a baby girl. lilibet diana mountbatten—windsor. a cleaner form of transport or a menace to road users? electric rental scooters are introduced in london. buying now and paying later but at what cost? use of it has quadrupled over lockdown. the boss of klarna tells me it's the safest way to use credit. critics say vulnerable consumers are spending out of control. suspended from international cricket. england bowler ollie robinson is dropped from the test squad while an investigation continues into offensive tweets he made as a teenager. it means more to me than anything.

and tales from our sunday spent with d—day veteran harry billinge, who watched the opening ceremony of the british normandy memorial. good morning. a fairly cloudy start to the day for many of us, murky for some but it should brighten up with some but it should brighten up with some sunshine. some heavy but potentially thundery showers in parts of the east. one of the details coming up. it's monday the 7th ofjune. our top story. there's a week to go until the government announces whether or not remaining restrictions on social contact will end in england onjune 21st. but some scientists are calling for a delay, following a rise in the number of cases of the delta variant, first identified in india. tim muffett reports. the summer solstice, june 21st, the date on which this and this is due to end in england. whereas this and this should

be allowed once more. but will that happen? in seven days' time, the government will make its decision, and doubts are growing, along with an increase of cases of the delta variant of coronavirus which was first identified in india. personally i would very much like to see masks remaining in place. we've got to consider delaying the opening up that was planned on the 21st, and wait and see what happens in terms of the number of hospital admissions, and sadly the number of deaths that may result. ijust need to hug my mum! the current plan for all restrictions on social contact to end on the same day is dividing opinion. it's more because i'm vaccinated right now that i would say yes, but depending on the people, if you're not vaccinated, i can understand you're maybe not that comfortable. i'd feel ok sat next to someone on the train as long as they were wearing a mask, but i think the two going, social distancing and masks going at the same time, would probably be a bit much.

it wouldn't bother me if we waited a couple of weeks intojuly, - because of the indian variant. i think that that element - of caution might be worthwhile in the long run for us. surge testing is being ramped up in a number of places. from today, postcodes in reading and wokingham, for example, will be amongst places being targeted. i'm hoping that we get at least 50% of people coming forward. and even that would pick up a lot of positive tests we didn't know about before. so even that would be a success for us. now, to help people, what we're going to do is we're actually going to hand out postcards and leaflets to households, so it's not even necessarily reliant on them reading the media. booking will open in england this week for under 30s to get their first dose of vaccine. on this there is widespread agreement. more jabs in more arms means a faster route back to normality. tim muffett, bbc news. borisjohnson is facing the prospect

of a defeat in the commons later over the government's cut to the overseas aid budget. more than 30 conservative mps want him to reinstate the commitment to spend 0.7% of national income on international development, rather than 0.5%. we're joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson. good morning. take us through your thoughts on all of this and what is likely to happen. it thoughts on all of this and what is likely to happen-— likely to happen. it sounds like a relatively small _ likely to happen. it sounds like a relatively small cut, _ likely to happen. it sounds like a relatively small cut, 0.7% - likely to happen. it sounds like a relatively small cut, 0.7% to - likely to happen. it sounds like a i relatively small cut, 0.7% to 0.5%, but that amounts to because the economy is also smaller, as a result of covid, that is between three or £4 billion being spent less on overseas aid this year than last year, aid agencies say this would cost thousands of lives. what is interesting is there has been an array of former prime minister is criticising this move from different parties. sirjohn major and theresa may from the conservatives have

criticised it, tony blair and now today gordon brown have weighed in today, and gordon brown former labour prime minister, told this programme earlier that he thought the cuts in foreign aid made no moral or economic sense. it’s the cuts in foreign aid made no moral or economic sense. it's a life and death issue, _ moral or economic sense. it's a life and death issue, we _ moral or economic sense. it's a life and death issue, we are _ moral or economic sense. it's a life and death issue, we are actually i and death issue, we are actually deciding — and death issue, we are actually deciding who lives and who dies. particularly if we withdraw the money — particularly if we withdraw the money for vaccination, particularly if we withdraw the money forvaccination, it's particularly if we withdraw the money for vaccination, it's the equivalent— money for vaccination, it's the equivalent of pulling away the needle — equivalent of pulling away the needle from a kid or an adult who is sick and _ needle from a kid or an adult who is sick and need the vaccination. 90% cut in— sick and need the vaccination. 90% cut in support for polio vaccines, for example. there has been an all-party— for example. there has been an all—party consensus, for example. there has been an all— party consensus, all for example. there has been an all—party consensus, all parties for 25 years. _ all—party consensus, all parties for 25 years, that we 0.7%, we need to play our— 25 years, that we 0.7%, we need to play our role — 25 years, that we 0.7%, we need to play our role in the world as being a leader— play our role in the world as being a leader in— play our role in the world as being a leader in overseas aid. the government _ a leader in overseas aid. the government insists - a leader in overseas aid. the: government insists that we a leader in overseas aid. tu9: government insists that we are still a leader in aid, because they say around £10 billion will be spent on overseas aid to less developed

countries, which is in percentage terms higher than literally any other comparable country. they have also said that it will be a temporary cut but if the conservative rebels and other parties win the vote today, it will give a timescale to the government saying you would have to restore the aid by the beginning of next year. the government might comprise and come up with a different date if it is under pressure but a vote is not guaranteed on this issue, that will be down to the speaker of the house of commons to decide later today. he does say that the commons can vote on this, if he does, the conservative rebels, former prime ministers and former ministers, believe they can win.— ministers and former ministers, believe they can win. thank you very much. the duke and duchess of sussex have announced the birth of their second child, a baby girl named lilibet diana. the couple, who have not yet released any photos of the new baby, said she was called after queen elizabeth and princess diana. she was born on friday at a hospital in california.

regulators in the us are expected to decide later today whether to approve a new treatment for alzheimer's disease. aducanumab would be given as a monthly injection, targeting a protein that builds up in the brains of alzheimer's patients. it has a chequered history, with many doctors remaining sceptical, but if it's given the green light, it would be the first new alzheimer's treatment since 2003. people using dating apps in the uk can now display a badge on their profiles to show they have been vaccinated against covid. the scheme has been set up by apps including tinder, hinge and bumble in partnership with the government. those displaying the sticker will be rewarded with free credits or access to premium features, although there will be no way of verifying if they have genuinely had the jab. four giant cooling towers at a former power station in staffordshire have been demolished. the 117 metre concrete towers, which have dominated rugeley�*s skyline for decades, were destroyed with explosives on sunday morning.

the site will now be used for housing. a little bit of breaking football news for you, remember last week, trent alexander—arnold was taken out of gareth southgate's 26 man squad for the euros big because of injury, brighton's ben white has now been added to that squad. he is a defender with a great season, he has had, and england do need, at the back so he could be a crucial man. when does it start? it's friday currently! i when does it start? it's friday currentl ! :. :. when does it start? it's friday currentl ! . ., :, when does it start? it's friday currently!— when does it start? it's friday currentl ! . ., :, ., currently! i have all of the england dates in my _ currently! i have all of the england dates in my head, _ currently! i have all of the england dates in my head, just _ currently! i have all of the england dates in my head, just ticking - currently! i have all of the england dates in my head, just ticking all l dates in my head, just ticking all of the boxes, i think it starts on thursday? here's carol with a look at this morning's weather.

to clarify, it is monday morning! it is a cloudy start today, but in the north and west and the country it will be cloudy and breezy at times this week, not particularly heavy in the rain. in the south and east it will be warmer and drier with some sunshine although there will still be a few showers at times. cloudy start, low cloud hugging the north—east coastline of scotland, which could linger all day. also a low cloud lingering along southern counties of the coast, that should lift but it might not until the afternoon. the show was continuing through the day across parts of the north and east, they could be heavy and thundery but we will not all see them. dry weather, sunshine and high cloud coming in will turn that hazy and a temperature range of 13 in lerwick, 21 in glasgow, 2a in london. this evening and overnight we say goodbye to the showers as they pull into the north sea, some

clear sky and pockets of mist and fog forming, with a friend in the west will introduce to kick out and of the night some showery outbreaks of the night some showery outbreaks of rain. it will also become easier. but it will not become colder. tomorrow there will be a lot of dry weather around, sunshine but already the cloud in the west producing some showers, some drizzle at times across cumbria and still a noticeable breeze. thank you, see you later. after almost a decade of campaigning, d—day veterans have finally been able to see their dream of a national memorial in normandy to honour theirfallen comrades become a reality. it was officially opened at yesterday's d—day commemoration event but, due to travel restrictions, many british veterans and their families had to watch the ceremony virtually. breakfast regulars may know one of them very well, harry billinge. he raised tens of thousands of pounds for the memorial, and breakfast�*sjohn maguire was with him to watch the grand opening.

guard of honour! guard of honour, 'shun! thank you, lads, and god bless you, thank you. he always insists that he's not a hero, but try telling that to the friends and supporters who joined harry billinge to witness his dream become a reality. as a teenager, he was one of the first onto the normandy beaches on the day. and he's been back since, most recently for the 75th anniversary two years ago, when he sat on the bbc breakfast sofa and told us of the comrades he'd left behind. i was lucky, i'm here. all the heroes are dead, and i'll neverforget them as long as i live. yesterday, he returned to the sofa. sun shines on the righteous.

the guest of honour at a special screening of the official opening of the british normandy memorial. a cause he's championed and raised tens of thousands of pounds to build. i want to say a very special good morning to one of our greatest champions, mr harry billinge. i know he's watching with his many friends in st austell this morning. harry, you've been an inspiration, and we do thank you. he will talk to everybody - and anybody and that's why he's raised so much money for this. monumental memorial to those that gave their lives. harry is a big part of our community and for him, for us to be able to be here with him is amazing. he does it from his heart, and he's done what he does for the boys that didn't come home, so. he is out collecting, - he's out collecting three or four times a day, i in the market all day, collecting, all day yesterday - he was collecting and all weekend. i so he dedicates his life savingl for his past comrades and that. he would, of course, have loved to be there, to touch the stones that bear

the names of 22,41i2 people under british command who died in the battle of normandy, those who never made it home. despite having to watch via satellite link, this in no way obscures the enormous regard and admiration in which we hold our veterans, or diminishes our debt of gratitude to the more than 22,000 men and women whose names are now permanently inscribed in stone in this place of honour above gold beach. instead of northern france, par near st austell and the next best thing as harry was surrounded with those he loves and who love him. i can't thank millions of people, millions who have written to me, from all over the world, and who have subscribed to that memorial. it means more to me than anything.

to everyone who has ever given a small amount to those who have given a great amount, i really humbly thank you, one and all. don't call me sir, my name is harry! hip hip, hurray! i spent most of it crying, didn't i? ijust really wanted him to be there, on the opening, - and i think that was... it'sjust so sad, but. it was very powerful. i cry all the time anyway, so, nothing new there! . he's happy, now that he's done what he needed to do. he's done an amazing job, hasn't he? yeah. we're just absolutely proud to have him here, to be honest. he's just an inspirational character. he's just, what he's done for the normandy trust and also,

he'sjust an inspiring man. part of today's ceremony, forming a guard of honour, the men who wear the same beret and badge as harry. modern day commando engineers, men for whom harry is a great inspiration. it'sjust the influence he has on us, and sort of like trying to aspire to be as good as what those guys did on that day, just so inspirational. just the sacrifice he made is, we wouldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for that. do you hope to get over and see the memorial? oh, yeah, i'll be there. if i have to swim! so, with the ceremonies over, how else would this 96—year—old spend his sunday afternoon? of course, raising even more money, now for an education centre at the memorial to teach future generations of the sacrifices made by his, the greatest generation. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall.

exactly does that mean, run us through that if you can. so exactly does that mean, run us through that if you can.- through that if you can. so the conce -t through that if you can. so the concept of _ through that if you can. so the concept of transmissibility - through that if you can. so the concept of transmissibility is l concept of transmissibility is getting a bit more complicated as time goes on because we have vaccines and we have people who have had previous infections. the term transmissibility originally was used to describe how well the virus goes from one person to another, so if somebody coughs around you, and you breathe in the particles, what is the chance of getting infected? we knew that the kent variant, the alpha variant as it is called now, was more transmissible than the original one. that was the original description of transmissibility, the property of how well a virus gets inside a cell, if it gets in your nose, how well it causes an infection. but now we have vaccines and antibodies and protected mechanisms which are sitting in our noses and throats, defending our bodies. so the term transmissible it he now encompasses that concept as well, so it isn't only how well the virus gets into a cell, but how

easily it will avoid and get around the antibodies that are sitting in our nose or throat. so now transmissibility is a broader concept, and the delta variant that was originally from india has now shown us that this virus is 40% more transmissible in a global sense. we think it is partly due to its ability to avoid antibodies, partly due to the fact that it can cause better infection in cells, it has dual advantages. 50 better infection in cells, it has dual advantages.— better infection in cells, it has dual advantages. so before the vaccine, when _ dual advantages. so before the vaccine, when sage _ dual advantages. so before the vaccine, when sage said - dual advantages. so before the| vaccine, when sage said variant dual advantages. so before the i vaccine, when sage said variant as transmissibility as the delta variant would be a cause for concern, do we discount the because of the difference the vaccine has made? :, :, �* ~' of the difference the vaccine has made? :, :, �* ,, , :, made? no, i don't think we should. this new virus _ made? no, i don't think we should. this new virus has _ made? no, i don't think we should. this new virus has an _ made? no, i don't think we should. this new virus has an overall - this new virus has an overall advantage over the previous strain that was circulating, the alpha or kent variant. given those facts, we can see already the virus is taking

over infections in the uk, sorry, certainly in england. in doing what we predicted it would do, also based on what happened in india when it overtook strains very quickly. in overtook strains very quickly. in terms of the pace of the transmissibility and this particular variant, has the vaccine been holding off some of those cases, and are you concerned that it might accelerate at a slower initial rate? that's right: the characteristics of this surge in infections or increase in infections we are seeing is going to be very different from what we saw before. we need to be prepared, use the intelligence that we have accumulated through public health england and other bodies, but also the clinical and laboratory work we have been doing. we know the virus will spread more slowly because of vaccination, but it will reach very high proportions if there is not some degree of mitigation in terms of some sort of measure. that's what people are worried about. {line

people going into hospital and it spreads in hospital, it will be a serious problem because we have memory vulnerable people there, the elderly, people with chemotherapy who have cancer, so it will in my view really disable nhs services. even though the direct consequence of infections and severity of covid—19 will not be as great as we saw before. covid-19 will not be as great as we saw before-— covid-19 will not be as great as we saw before. ~ . ., saw before. with that in mind, and i will remind — saw before. with that in mind, and i will remind our _ saw before. with that in mind, and i will remind our viewers _ saw before. with that in mind, and i will remind our viewers you - saw before. with that in mind, and i will remind our viewers you are - will remind our viewers you are speaking on a personal capacity, how do you think that date ofjune 21 now looks? do you think based on the current data and based on what you are saying, it would be unwise to fully unlock on that date? i are saying, it would be unwise to fully unlock on that date?- fully unlock on that date? i think that the date _ fully unlock on that date? i think that the date as _ fully unlock on that date? i think that the date as has _ fully unlock on that date? i think that the date as has been - fully unlock on that date? i think. that the date as has been clarified recently was a guide date, it was a not— before date, and it would be reviewed at intervals. the whole point of that is that it can inform

policy. that is a welcome message from the government is that they will be actively reviewing the data that comes out. in terms of what to do onjune 21, that is a political decision, weighing up a number of different factors. the only thing i would say is that the views of scientists such as myself and others reflects the fact that we want this to be the last lockdown we ever go into. we don't want to go into a reverse situation which would be much more damaging for the economy and business, and long—term welfare. that is why people are calling for a few more weeks, not necessarily months, before we unlock fully. part ofthe months, before we unlock fully. part of the discussion _ months, before we unlock fully. part of the discussion has been about this two—week delay, would you welcome a two—week delay? fries. this two-week delay, would you welcome a two-week delay? yes, i think anything _ welcome a two-week delay? yes, i think anything would _ welcome a two-week delay? yes, i think anything would give - welcome a two-week delay? yes, i think anything would give us - welcome a two-week delay? yes, i think anything would give us addedj think anything would give us added time to find out more, and to put in place the relevant measures and maybe modify the way the full exit

protein which is a known escape mutation which has been seen on top of the delta variant. the more transitions that are allowed to happen, the greater the chance of these new added variants are rising. we are in a battle against these viruses and the best way to suppress it long—term which is what we want is to get vaccination ramped up at the same time as limiting the number of new infections. and we are not achieving the limitation of new infections in the way we need to to remain fully open as a society in the long term. once we suppress the virus and get vaccination above 80% including young people, we can continue that strategy with boosting in the years to come. you are right, there will be unfortunate people who do succumb to the virus, but the problem here is we are in a situation where we could obtain huge gainsjust situation where we could obtain huge gains just buy situation where we could obtain huge gainsjust buy a situation where we could obtain huge gains just buy a little bit more work. gains 'ust buy a little bit more work. :, , ., gains 'ust buy a little bit more work. :, ., , ., work. professor ravi gupta, always aood to work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk— work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk to _ work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk to you, _ work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk to you, thank- work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk to you, thank you - work. professor ravi gupta, always good to talk to you, thank you for l good to talk to you, thank you for joining us this morning.—

to six london boroughs today. the government is assessing the risks and benefits of the scooters, but critics say they are a menace to pedestrians and other road users. this report by our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, contains footage of road accidents involving scooters from the start. electric scooters have been involved in some horrific accidents, like this one in lithuania. thank goodness, this time, the rider walked away. joyriders on rental e—scooters put themselves in danger. but they also put others at risk. they're a threat to pedestrians and to other road users. and the scooters themselves get in the way. users leave them all over the place, littering our streets. elaine knows the risks. she is partially sighted and relies on inca to help guide her around town.

i heard some screaming, and then the next thing i knew, i'd actually been hit by somebody that had come round the corner, gone straight into me, i then lost my balance, ended up falling on inca. bruised my elbow and my knee, which then meant, you know, you just don't go out. the department for transport told the bbc the incident is a matterfor the police. 31 towns are already part of the government's e—scooter rental trials, with six london boroughs getting e—scooter rental schemes today. the aim is to learn more about the risks and benefits of e—scooters, says the department for transport. it believes they can help reduce congestion and pollution, but wants to make them safer and to find ways to reduce bad behaviour. let's give this thing a go. you kick it off its stand, you get on, give ita push, and, whoa, whoa!

so the government believes these things can encourage us all to leave our cars at home. the idea is they kind of extend the transport network by giving us another way to get around. whoa, it goes quite fast! and the operators of the london scheme say many of the issues people have with e—scooters can be addressed. we are using designated parking areas, so when you finish your ride, you go to lock the scooter on your app, you go to press "end ride", if you're outside of a parking zone, what we'll do is actually show you within our app where the nearest appropriate parking location is, and how you can get there. some environmental campaigners are saying now private e—scooters should be legalised too. the research shows that private e—scooters are what really get people out of their cars. because they own them, they're not leaving them around. screaming. so if you hate e—scooters, be warned. the chances are, you will be seeing

more of them in our towns and cities in the years to come. justin rowlatt, bbc news, milton keynes. lots of you getting in touch about that. let's talk about it. we're joined now by will norman, who's the walking and cycling commissioner for london. thank you forjoining us. there is so much to talk about. i can see the scooter is lined up behind you. a met police jese scooter is lined up behind you. a met policejese officer described them as death traps. how do you respond to that? i them as death traps. how do you respond to that?— respond to that? i think it is really clear _ respond to that? i think it is really clear at _ respond to that? i think it is really clear at the _ respond to that? i think it is really clear at the moment i respond to that? i think it is i really clear at the moment the situation — really clear at the moment the situation isn't working. private e scooters — situation isn't working. private e scooters it _ situation isn't working. private e scooters, it is not clear what their legality _ scooters, it is not clear what their legality is — scooters, it is not clear what their legality is i— scooters, it is not clear what their legality is. i saw one that could do up legality is. i saw one that could do up to— legality is. i saw one that could do up to 50 _ legality is. i saw one that could do up to 50 mph the other day. clearly that is— up to 50 mph the other day. clearly that is not— up to 50 mph the other day. clearly that is not safe. this trial is all about— that is not safe. this trial is all about learning what role these scooters — about learning what role these scooters can play in our transport makes _ scooters can play in our transport makes. how can they complement

scotland manager steve clarke said he had selection headaches all over the pitch, after che adams gave them a 1—0 win away to luxembourg. the scots play their first match against the czech republic at hampden a week today. belgium are still worried about the fitness of kevin de bruyne going in to their campaign, but the manchester city midfielder has been named the pfa player of the year for the second season in a row. he played a key role role as city won their third premier league title in four years. his team—mate phil foden was named young player of the year. chelsea's fran kirby took the women's award. england bowler ollie robinson has been suspended from international cricket, while an investigation continues into racist and sexist tweets he posted when he was a teenager. the posts are from 2012 and 2013, and they came to light as he made his test debut against new zealand. he's been dropped from the squad and he said he was embarrassed and ashamed, and it's been tough for the england side to deal with.

i think we have to take it on the surface. but i think the most important thing is that ollie is part of this dressing room and we had to support him, we had to try and do everything that we could to give him an opportunity to learn and to understand that he has to do better. the first test ended in a draw at lord's, with england resisting the temptation to take on a run—chase, after new zealand batted on before declaring at lunch. that left england needing 273 to win but neither side got close to victory, and they shook hands on the draw. roger federer says he decided to withdraw from the french open to protect his fitness. he came through a gruelling match in the third round and he wants time to recover ahead of wimbledon. and another 39—year—old is out — serena williams suffered a shock defeat in her quest for a record equalling 24th grand slam — she was beaten in straight sets

in the fourth round by elena ribarkina. alfie hewett and gordon reid have become the most successful all—british doubles pair, thanks to a straight—sets win in the wheelchair final. they've now won 11 grand slams together. hewett is also into the singles final later this week. lewis hamilton missed the chance to retake the lead in the f1 world championship, finishing 15th at the azerbaijan grand prix. front runner max verstappen was leading before a late puncture ended his race, and at the restart hamilton was second but he made a rare mistake, locking up his tyres and running into the escape road. sergio perez won for the first time this season. great britain's lizzie deignan won the women's tour de suisse byjust one second — it was the first time the two—day race had been run. but ahead of the tour de france, geraint thomas had to settle for third place on the criterium du dauphine. he crashed around five miles from the finish, but he carried on and finished just ahead of richie porte who took overall victory.

now, with the olympics looming, places on team gb are at stake, and dina asher—smith looks to be heading for tokyo. she was in great form racing in the netherlands, winning the 100 metres in a season's best time. confirmation will come at the british athletics championships in manchester at the end of this month. alastair brownlee has conceded he has next to no chance of defending his olympic triathlon title, after being disqualified from the world series event in leeds. he was ruled to have dunked a rival during the swimming leg. his brotherjonny has already qualified for tokyo and race winner alex yee looks likely to take the other place in tokyo games. a worthy winner. he was. such a wonderful thing to be able to see triathlon bike again in leeds. a

which is raising his spirits. translation: this year, there is the vaccination. i we are vaccinated, most of our customers are vaccinated, we also have the tests, and we're not afraid. we know if someone has the virus or not, and this is how go on. greece has been prioritising its islands when it comes to covid vaccinations, that's because so many of them are hugely dependent on tourism. and they want to show that they are as safe as possible as they compete with destinations right across europe, trying to win back their visitors. they've nearly vaccinated all of the locals on milos, as well as the summer workers from the mainland. but are they varied about visitors from further afield bringing with them new covid variants? if they are careful and they do their tests before they come here, they are vaccinated, and they wear the masks in public places, everything will be fine. we don't have to be super stressed.

in 2020, greece welcomed only a quarter of its usual visitors. and it's notjust the bars and restaurants that want to see the numbers bouncing back. milos's goat cheese producers would be in business again. as the hotels reopen, the orders come in. "everything here is a chain", the boss tells us. and stella, whose honey is said to be left on the island, is praying for better times and tourists are just the corner. the tourists are very important for my shop. because they come in and buy marmalade and sweets for their presents for families and friends, and they are in really important to come back. at milos primary school, these young greek philosophers have been contemplating the pandemic. "our hearts hurt," the lyrics go. everyone's hope is

that freedom returns. the greek islands have started their summer serenade but many visitors will have to work a little longer before they can come here and surrender their hearts. nick beake, bbc news, milos. you are trying to transport yourself there! it you are trying to transport yourself there! :, :, :, , you are trying to transport yourself there! :, , �*, there! it looks lovely there. it's lovely here _ there! it looks lovely there. it's lovely here too, _ there! it looks lovely there. it's lovely here too, isn't _ there! it looks lovely there. it's lovely here too, isn't it, - there! it looks lovely there. it's| lovely here too, isn't it, carol?! |there! it looks lovely there. it'sj lovely here too, isn't it, carol?! good morning everybody. it is a cloudy start however we will see that a cloud thing and break. the sun will come out. although there is some cloud around, the sunshine will become hazy. still a few showers in the forecast into the afternoon, most in eastern areas. you can see this great big swell of cloud the

however, the government wants to bring in new, stronger rules for the companies involved. nina spoke to the boss of one of the biggest firms earlier. yes, he was on earlier and he was pretty unequivocal in how he defended his product. he was pretty clear he thinks the debt he's offering is better and more responsible than credit card companies. campaigners still think they should be making more checks before they lend money though. buy now, pay later. it's a pretty simple idea and it does exactly what it says on the tin. you get what you want straightaway but you delay the payment and sometimes even spread the cost over a few, smaller amounts. it's interest free and allows people to buy things they can afford when they need them rather than when they have the cash. sound tempting? no, because i wouldn't like to get in debt. :, ., ., . in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for _ in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for me. _ in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for me. it _ in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for me. it was _ in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for me. it was easier i in debt. no, i have a credit card. that's it for me. it was easier to | that's it for me. it was easier to slotted over— that's it for me. it was easier to slotted over the _ that's it for me. it was easier to slotted over the three _ that's it for me. it was easier to l slotted over the three payments.

to credit card checks, which would help stop people taking credit who can't afford it. but earlier i spoke to the worldwide boss of one of the biggest buy now pay later companies, klarna. he thinks it's a much safer way to spend. in britain we have more credit cards that we _ in britain we have more credit cards that we have adult people. this solution — that we have adult people. this solution is _ that we have adult people. this solution is a better solution for people — solution is a better solution for people because it is free of interest, _ people because it is free of interest, it doesn't have additional late fees — interest, it doesn't have additional late fees, it is not trying to make money— late fees, it is not trying to make money that— late fees, it is not trying to make money that way. and so it is better for the _ money that way. and so it is better for the consumer using this. so why not then allow _ for the consumer using this. so why not then allow affordability - for the consumer using this. so why not then allow affordability checks l not then allow affordability checks at the point of purchase so you can see whether the consumer has taken on data with other companies? at the moment that does not happen. on average a clarinet user will have debt with a or nine different companies and you don't necessarily know about that. is that responsible?— know about that. is that responsible? know about that. is that resonsible? , :, ., know about that. is that resonsible? . :, . . responsible? first of all, we are for regulation. _ responsible? first of all, we are for regulation. there _ responsible? first of all, we are for regulation. there are - responsible? first of all, we are i for regulation. there are definitely some _ for regulation. there are definitely some good ideas like potentially
