good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. england and scotland's preparations for tonight's games at the euros have been disrupted by covid. scotland will have to take on croatia in their must—win game here at hampden without key player billy gilmour, who has tested positive for the virus. welcome to wembley. england are already through to the last 16 after last night's results. but mason mount and ben chilwell could miss out tonight
6:01 am
after being advised to self—isolate. poorer white pupils have been let down by decades of neglect, according to a new report by mps. counting the cost of covid — we'll find out later how much more the government has been borrowing to cover the pandemic. could it mean higher taxes to help balance the books? good morning. a drier day in southern england than yesterday. the rain this morning clearing. most people having sunshine but the clouds thickening, the arrival of rain across northern ireland and western scotland later. all the details coming up. good morning. it's tuesday, the 22nd ofjune. our top story. two of england's footballers could miss tonight's match against the czech republic, after coming into contact with the scotland midfielder billy gilmour, who's tested positive for coronavirus. ben chilwell and mason mount are both isolating. england are through to the last 16 of the european championships after last night's results, but scotland face a must—win game against croatia at hampden park.
6:02 am
john mcmanus reports. fierce opponents in their national shirts, but friends and club mates after the final whistle. england's ben chilwell and mason mount were seen interacting with scotland's billy gilmour at the end of the match at wembley, and it's understood they spent more time chatting in the tunnel. gilmour�*s now tested positive for covid—19. he'll miss scotland's must—win game against croatia tonight. and chilwell and mount are in doubt for tonight's outing against the czech republic, as they self—isolate as a precaution. none of gilmour�*s team—mates will be doing the same, a fact which did not escape england coach gareth southgate. i don't want to cause a drama for scotland, but if you're all in the dressing room together, where does everything stand? so, it's... yeah, i don't know, is the honest answer to that. our medical people are dealing with all of this. after monday's results,
6:03 am
england are guaranteed a place in the last 16 of euro 2020, but will go through as group d winners if they win against the czech republic. the entire squad had lateral flow tests on monday, which were negative. the scottish fa say that public health england decided that no other scotland players, apart from gilmour, had to self—isolate. but public health england said they hadn't held detailed discussions with the scottish football authorities. a real blow. and if billy gilmour's out now, of course, you have to think, who's he been mixing with? will we get any further news that he's been mixing and close by some other players, and they might be testing positive and might have to self—isolate as well? covid—19 has hit other teams in the tournament, and it may yet prove more damaging still. john mcmanus, bbc news. john's at hampden park in glasgow.
6:04 am
both the games distracted, it is having quite an impact, covid come on what is going on.— on what is going on. absolutely. good morning — on what is going on. absolutely. good morning from _ on what is going on. absolutely. good morning from hampden i on what is going on. absolutely. i good morning from hampden park. on what is going on. absolutely. - good morning from hampden park. we can perhaps expect news today with regard to further testing in the scotland camp because they will be very conscious to make sure there has been no further spread. serious questions this morning about how those rules are being applied, especially when you consider that when john especially when you consider that whenjohn fleck, the scotland player, tested positive covid on their training camp in the lead up their training camp in the lead up the tournament six players were made to self—isolate. in this instance a whole squad, a whole match day squad whole squad, a whole match day squad who were mixing with billy gilmour, both before and after the game, picture is emerging of manager steve clarke embracing billy gilmour after the final whistle, and players, as well, who we have seen play table ties with him at the training camp, yet deemed not close contact. england are taking the precautionary
6:05 am
measure to self—isolate mason mount and ben chilwell. he will be a big miss, let's not forget because it was his influence in that performance against england, the goalless draw. his man of the match performance as he impressed on his first competitive start scotland. it is very simple, they have to win here against croatia later if they are to stand any chance of reaching the knockout phase. they could still surpass england if england lose to the czech republic by the required number of goals. i think the scotland their biggest chance, biggest hope is perhaps to win here at later and hope they finish as one of the best place to third place teams. to do that they have to do something they haven't done in the tournament so far, and that is to score. if they do that they do is stand a chance of reaching the knockout stage in a major tournament for the first time in their history. let's wait and see, thank you very much. plenty of build—up to those games
6:06 am
tonight for you. white pupils from poorer families have been let down by decades of neglect, according to a report from mps. the chair of the education committee, robert halfon, described it as a national scandal. the government said it was committed to making sure no child was left behind. our education correspondent, branwenjeffreys has this report. harry now runs a successful vintage clothes business. but after school, he did one low—paid job after another. unless you've been given an opportunity or you've got a family that can help you out, you're going to be stuck in those jobs, literally. just dead ends, do you know what i mean? i was never going to go anywhere. terrible wage. and i always knew i kind of had to have my fingers in other pies. i always had to do something else on the side to make extra money. relentless hard work means harry has his own shop. but mps say others are let down by a system that sees only poverty, not place or circumstance. if it was just about poverty,
6:07 am
why is it that other ethnic groups on free school meals outperform white working—class pupils on free school meals? you're saying to poor white communities, who are struggling, who are underperforming compared to every other — almost every other — ethnic group, you're saying they are people of white privilege. this report calls for a fundamental rethink in what schools and education deliver for white working communities, because, as it spells out, for decades there's been evidence that too many children have had their life chances limited by what they see around them, what they're able to experience by the place that they grew up in. it's really important that children appreciate their heritage. claire runs schools across mansfield. they offer basic skill courses for parents, but start shakespeare at primary level. if you want to break that cycle of third,
6:08 am
fourth generation unemployment, you need to bring your parents and your community with you. the traditional academic route has absolutely has a place. but i do think that there needs to be a rethinking around what education is for. their secondary school has kept many practical subjects. mps say this is crucial. for all the pupils here, school is just one influence. i feel like a lot depends on who your family, what your family has done previously, and if you want to follow what they've done. i've never had a person - in my family go to university. so it would be a big step, and it's quite a big - thing on my shoulders. this school is trying to teach future skills. the government says it's levelling up, increasing technical education. but the real test will be if these pupils get good jobs when they leave. branwen jefferys, bbc news, mansfield.
6:09 am
nominations will close today for the leadership of the democratic unionist party in northern ireland. long—serving mp sirjeffrey donaldson is the only candidate so far to put his name forward. it's widely expected he will be unopposed. the party is looking for a new leader after edwin poots resigned, afterjust 21 days in the role. patients in england are set to get easier access to their own medical information under government plans. the new system would allow people to use nhs apps to renew medications, check test results and speak to health and care staff. a planned roll—out of a digital database of gp records was delayed earlier this month, following concerns over a lack of public consultation. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now. good morning. not seeing you on this programme for a while. any proposals on using nhs data, we know they can be controversial.— be controversial. good morning. great to be _ be controversial. good morning.

6:11 am
that persuasive case, him trying to make that argument that this is something worth us all embracing. you will talk about the nhs app that you may have downloaded, a huge number of downloads compared with a year ago. you can be reminded that you have scratched in the playground in 1987, a lot of data your hands. how that is handled is a very sensitive topic and that was the argument we will get from the government this morning as they try to persuade us. government this morning as they try to persuade ve— government this morning as they try to persuade va— government this morning as they try to persuade us-_ government this morning as they try to persuade us. thank you very much for that. to persuade us. thank you very much for that- we — to persuade us. thank you very much for that. we will _ to persuade us. thank you very much for that. we will see _ to persuade us. thank you very much for that. we will see you _ to persuade us. thank you very much for that. we will see you a _ to persuade us. thank you very much for that. we will see you a bit - for that. we will see you a bit later on this morning. liverpool could lose its world heritage status, after a recommendation by the united nation's cultural body unesco. it's unhappy at plans for development on part of the city's historic dockland. the metro mayor of liverpool has described the decision as deeply disappointing.

6:27 am
unwittingly breaching the rules. the ticket company, ticketmaster, cancelled purchases where the same credit card was used more than once when buying tickets. dozens of people caught out, say the rules were unclear. but ticketmaster and the all england tennis club say the conditions were clearly stated before purchase. the mp for harlow in essex has described as a "major social injustice" how poorer white pupils underachieved and were neglected compared with children on free school meals from other ethnic groups. a report by a group of mps, led by robert halfon, says it's "nothing short of a scandal" how white working class pupils have been let down by the education system for decades. the department for education says its investing in levelling up. a central london michelin—star restaurant says it will no longer open at lunchtimes, post—brexit and pandemic, due to a shortage of staff.
6:28 am
the founder of pied a terre said he decided to stop the restaurant's lunchtime menu, as he struggles with recruiting workers, as many have left the country. he wants the government to grant special visas for foreign workers wanting to work in hospitality here. the government says it's working to better promote jobs in the sector. a 20—year deal has been agreed by transport for london to bring full mobile phone coverage on the london underground within three years. it means phones could be used at every station, ticket hall and even tunnels. but some passengers who enjoy a mobile phone freejourney are disappointed. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the roads, kensington gore, near the royal albert hall, is down to a single lane in each direction for roadworks. and there's no woolwich ferry again because of industrial action. now the weather with kate.
6:29 am
good morning. well, after yesterday's heavy and persistent rain, today is set to be a bit drier, but we're still left with little bit of rain down towards the south and east of london. that should start to clear, though, as we head through the morning, and then the cloud will start to break. we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, today, so temperatures still only reaching around 17 celsius, but we see the return of the sunshine. now of course it's the football tonight — czech republic versus england at wembley — so a dry match, it looks like. bit of cloud around but some sunshine, as well, before the sun sets. temperature at kick—off around 15 celsius but once the sun does set it is going to get quite chilly — under the clear skies tonight, temperatures drop back down into single figures with a minimum of six celsius. so a chilly start to wednesday but high pressure continues to build so it is a dry day tomorrow, plenty of sunny spells and temperatures make a bit of a recovery — back up in the low 20s. similar for thursday but then rain overnight thursday, into friday morning.
6:30 am
i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll meet the teenager who donated her hair to a cancer charity that makes wigs, only to need one herself after being diagnosed with the illness a year later. while most of us put our shoes on before we head out of the house, the barefoot walker will be keeping his off, even after climbing ten lake district peaks in as many hours. # gold gold. # always believe in your soul. # you've got the power to know... tony hadley has spent the past year home—schooling his children. but he's put away the books and is heading out on tour, as he celebrates a0 years in the music industry. tony willjoin us after eight.

6:38 am
playing the czech republic. but i think they need to fix that the czech republic flag. i think that might be happening any minute now. a big night for england and scotland at the euros tonight. last night's results mean england are already through to the next stage. they play the czech republic this evening. but the scots have to beat croatia to go have a chance of qualifying. they trained yesterday without billy gilmour, who's tested positive for covid—i9. scotland have just one point from two games. the scottish fa currently says there are no close contacts identified from inside their camp. he's upset, as you would expect. asymptomatic, no symptoms, so hopefully his health will hold up, he won't have too many symptoms and he'll get back to playing as quickly as possible. obviously a blow for us in terms of the team, but a chance for someone else.
6:39 am
that is something we will be monitoring on the programme throughout the morning to see if there is any more news from the scotland camp about other close contacts. a victory over the czech republic here at wembley will be see england finish top of the group. it's unclear as to whether they'll be without ben chilwell and mason mount, who are self—isolating. they came into close contact with billy gilmour at the end of last week's draw with scotland. yeah, look, i don't want to cause a drama for scotland, but, erm, if you're all in the dressing room together, where does everything stand ? so, it's... ..yeah, i don't know, is the honest answer to that. our medical people are dealing with all of this. i'm being updated as regularly as we can be, which is every hour or so, there's a little bit more information. erm, and we have to accept whatever
6:40 am
the situation is and adapt to it. wales will play denmark in the next round on saturday in amsterdam. the danes beat russia 4—1 to set up the last 16 tie with the welsh, chelsea's andreas christensen with a thunderbolt. the russians are eliminated. belgium top the group after they beat finland 2—0. the finns slip to third and must await other results to see if they squeeze through. meanwhile, the netherlands finish top of their group, having won all three of their games. georginio wijnaldum scored twice as they beat already eliminated north macedonia 3—0. and austria progress after beating ukraine i—o, christoph baumgartner with the goal that sets up a meeting at wembley with italy on saturday. british cyclist mark cavendish

will return to the tour de france for the first time since 2018 this weekend. he's been named in the eight man squad for deceuninck-ouickstep, after irishman sam bennett was ruled out through injury. this year's race begins on saturday. and anyone who has watched a cricket match knows you need to keep your eye out for the ball, especially when a big hitting batsman is at the crease. illingworth st mary's asif ali knew he'd hit this one particularly well — actually, a little too well. a big six for the man with the hat, but the sound you might be able to hear is that of the ball smashing a car windscreen. and before long, he realised it was his car windscreen. a shot that was expensive for the bowler, but even more so for the batsman. it is that crunching sound and your heart sinking just for a moment.

of these fronts which are pulling away during the day. high pressure in charge. another set of fans coming in across the north—west later. in between all of this there is a lot of dry some sunshine. a breeze across east anglia and the south—east. it will feel cooler. at nine o'clock you can still see some rain in dorset heading for the midlands and down towards sussex and kent. eventually that moves away. a bit of sunshine across the rest having them, wales, most of northern ireland and scotland. some of us are having a touch of frost as temperatures fall below freezing. slowly picking up in the strong sunshine. there goes the rain. some cloud left in its wake. it will thicken across western scotland and northern ireland, heralding the arrival of the next band of rain. in the sunshine, 18 to 20 will be quite pleasant. 12 in stornoway. as we have been hearing, for the scotland
6:44 am
match, it should stay dry. again, we will have a fair bit of sunshine. there could be a little bit of cloud for the england match. no more than that. the cloud will break. clear skies. the temperature sinking through the course of the match. through this evening you can see what i am talking about. the cloud melts away across most of england and wales, but comes into scotland and wales, but comes into scotland and northern ireland, and with it will, some patchy rain. nowhere near as cold as this morning. overnight lows in aberdeen of 11. not quite as mild in the south under clear skies. overnight lows of seven to nine. tomorrow, here is the weather front sinking southwards. another one across the north. high pressure clinging the south. that translates into a fair bit of cloud across scotland, northern england, northern england, northern ireland, getting injured north wales, with this patchy rain. coastal mist in the west and some hill fog. ahead of it there will be a little bit of cloud run. equally, fair bit of sunshine and a lot of dry weather. highs up

to 21 degrees. again, that will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. under the cloud we are looking at 13 to 19. as we head into thursday, you can see we have got a waiting front across the north. it is not coming in a straight line. it is bringing this rain with it as it sinks slowly south. ahead of it, we have got the remnants of the old front. 50 there will be more cloud in the south—east, in between, brighter skies and some sunshine. temperatures 11 to 21. i quite like the sound of a waving front. thank you.— front. thank you. talking about government — front. thank you. talking about government spending - front. thank you. talking about government spending this - front. thank you. talking about - government spending this morning. from the way we shop to how much tax we pay, government spending has a huge impact on our lives. new public finance figures are coming out this morning, but what will this mean as we try to recover from the pandemic? nina's unpicking this one. good morning. i'vejust noticed your socks camouflaging into the sofa,

6:47 am
not only is government spending more on coronavirus support measures, it is also taking in less in tax revenue, around £90 billion for the last financial year. that is because companies are paying less tax, they've been shuttered for the much of the past year, and a large number of the past year, and a large number of people are on furlough and not in payroll to work. that means less money coming in and higher spending. in the year to march, the government borrowed just over £300 billion. compare that to £46 billion the year before. in about half an hour's time, we'll find out how borrowing for the month of may added to that. it all puts pressure on this man, the chancellor rishi sunak, to balance the books. in his budget in march, he set out plans to increase corporation tax. but he has little room for maneouvre. in 2019, the conservatives promised not to raise income tax, vat or national insurance.
6:48 am
they've also promised to maintain a triple lock on the state pension. that pledges to raise them annually by the rate of inflation, earnings growth or 2%, whicheverfigure is the highest. so what can rishi sunak do? one suggestion has been less generous tax relief on private pensions. one of the possible ways of cutting costs _ one of the possible ways of cutting costs is _ one of the possible ways of cutting costs is a _ one of the possible ways of cutting costs is a flat rate of tax relief. the way — costs is a flat rate of tax relief. the way it _ costs is a flat rate of tax relief. the way it works at the moment is the amount— the way it works at the moment is the amount of tax relief you get depends— the amount of tax relief you get depends on what taxpayer you are. a basic rate _ depends on what taxpayer you are. a basic rate taxpayer gets 20% and a higher— basic rate taxpayer gets 20% and a higher rate — basic rate taxpayer gets 20% and a higher rate gets 40%. the move to the flat _ higher rate gets 40%. the move to the flat rate would mean that everybody would get the same. this is unlikely— everybody would get the same. this is unlikely to hurt basic rate taxpayers because the flat rate would — taxpayers because the flat rate would be unlikely to be below 20%, but it _ would be unlikely to be below 20%, but it would affect how much higher rate taxpayers get in retirement. debt— rate taxpayers get in retirement. debt is— rate taxpayers get in retirement. debt is at— rate taxpayers get in retirement. debt is at its highest point since post—war recovery. shortly we will find out how much more additional borrowing was needed in the month of
6:49 am
may. it is important that people don't compare this to your household budget. most experts would agree borrowing big is notjust the right way, but the only way to move forward at the moment. in fact, some argue we should be borrowing even more while interest rates are low and the bounce back looks encouragingly strong, although obviously you cannot go on forever. some big decisions about who gets to pay for it in terms of taxation, decisions for the chancellor. i'm glad i have to report on them rather than make those decisions. it will not be easy. than make those decisions. it will not be easy-— there's been a huge rise in the number of people who don't have the most basic furniture for their home. one charity in bath says demand for their help has gone up by almost a third during the pandemic. fiona lamdin reports. fiona, this was a shell — there was just nothing here, there was underlying concrete. got the carpets, new bed in plastic, lovely chest of drawers, which was just fantastic. i have no the drawers. fridge freezer out of the box,

6:59 am
good morning. well, after yesterday's heavy and persistent rain, today is set to be a bit drier, but we're still left with little bit of rain down towards the south and east of london. that should start to clear, though, as we head through the morning, and then the cloud will start to break. we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, today, so temperatures still only reaching around 17 celsius, but we see the return of the sunshine. now of course it's the football tonight — czech republic versus england at wembley — so a dry match, it looks like. bit of cloud around but some sunshine, as well, before the sun sets. temperature at kick—off around 15 celsius but once the sun does set it is going to get quite chilly — under the clear skies tonight, temperatures drop back down into single figures with a minimum of six celsius. so a chilly start to wednesday but high pressure continues to build so it is a dry day tomorrow, plenty of sunny spells and temperatures make a bit of a recovery — back up in the low 20s. similar for thursday but then rain overnight thursday, into friday morning. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.
7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. england and scotland's preparations for tonight's games at the euros have been disrupted by covid.
7:01 am
good morning from us in a hampden park. scotland face croatia here later but they do so without their key player billy gilmour, who has tested positive for the virus. welcome to wembley. last night's results mean england are already through to the last 16 — but mason mount and ben chilwell could miss out tonight after being advised to self—isolate. poorer white pupils have been let down by decades of neglect, according to a new report by mps. we'll meet the teenager who donated her hair to a cancer charity that makes wigs, only to need one herself after being diagnosed with the illness a year later. good morning. after yesterday's rain in the south today will be drier and brighter and we lose the rain this morning, most seeing sunshine but later the client will thicken, heralding the arrival of rain across
7:02 am
western scotland and northern ireland. all the details coming up. it's tuesday the 22nd ofjune. our top story. two of england's footballers could miss tonight's match against the czech republic, after coming into contact with the scotland midfielder billy gilmour, who's tested positive for coronavirus. ben chilwell and mason mount are both isolating. england are through to the last 16 of the european championships after last night's results but scotland face a must win game against croatia at hampden park. john mcmanus reports. fierce opponents in their national shirts, but friends and club mates after the final whistle. england's ben chilwell and mason mount were seen interacting with scotland's billy gilmour at the end of the match at wembley, and it's understood they spent more time chatting in the tunnel. gilmour�*s now tested positive for covid—19. he'll miss scotland's must—win game against croatia tonight. and chilwell and mount are in doubt for tonight's outing
7:03 am
against the czech republic, as they self—isolate as a precaution. none of gilmour�*s team—mates will be doing the same, a fact which did not escape england coach gareth southgate. i don't want to cause a drama for scotland, but if you're all in the dressing room together, where does everything stand? so, it's... yeah, i don't know, is the honest answer to that. our medical people are dealing with all of this. after monday's results, england are guaranteed a place in the last 16 of euro 2020, but will go through as group d winners if they win against the czech republic. the entire squad had lateral flow tests on monday, which were negative. the scottish fa say that public health england decided that no other scotland players, apart from gilmour, had to self—isolate. but public health england said they hadn't held detailed discussions with the scottish football authorities. a real blow.
7:04 am
and if billy gilmour's out now, of course, you have to think, who's he been mixing with? will we get any further news that he's been mixing and close by some other players, and they might be testing positive and might have to self—isolate, as well? covid—19 has hit other teams in the tournament, and it may yet prove more damaging still. john mcmanus, bbc news. john's at hampden park in glasgow. good morning. we know all preparations for england and scotland games have been disrupted by this problem, but in terms of what is happening on the pitch it is really important for scotland because they need to score and they need to beat croatia. yes. need to beat croatia. yes, absolutely. _ need to beat croatia. yes, absolutely, that _ need to beat croatia. yes, absolutely, that is - need to beat croatia. yes, absolutely, that is the - need to beat croatia. yes, absolutely, that is the job | need to beat croatia. yes, l absolutely, that is the job in need to beat croatia. yes, - absolutely, that is the job in hand absolutely, that is thejob in hand for scotland later. good morning from hampden park. it has affected their preparations, no doubt and i think we can perhaps expect further
7:05 am
results from additional testing within the scotland camp to come through today. it raises questions about how the rules are being applied, especially when you consider that when the scottish midfielderjohn fleck tested positive for coronavirus in the training camp in spain in the lead up training camp in spain in the lead up to the tournament, six other squad players were made to self—isolate but none in this instance have been deemed close contact, despite the fact that players will have shared a dressing room with billy gilmour before and after the match, we saw the manager steve clarke looking the player as he was substituted in the goalless draw against england, getting on with deemed close contacts in this instance. it will be a real miss for scotland when you consider how well he played, how much he impressed on his first competitive start for his country against wembley the other day. he will be a huge miss, especially when you consider that they have to win, scotland, it is that simple. they could even finish second in their group, they put
7:06 am
surpass england if england lose to the czech republic later by the required number of goals. a win is enough, vomica points will be enough and the third—place finish will be enough and to progress. to do that, they will have to score and that is something they have not done this tournament so far if they are to reach the knockout stage of a major tournament for the first time in scotland's history. flan tournament for the first time in scotland's history.— tournament for the first time in scotland's history. can you give us a ”aue scotland's history. can you give us a gauge of — scotland's history. can you give us a gauge of how — scotland's history. can you give us a gauge of how the _ scotland's history. can you give us a gauge of how the fans _ scotland's history. can you give us a gauge of how the fans are - scotland's history. can you give us i a gauge of how the fans are feeling. we have been like that andrew robertson's old school, sally has been talking about the 25,000 fans who will be at wembley, just over 12,000 at hampden park. what is the expectation level like after the draw with england at wembley? i think perhaps there is maybe a sense of inevitability about all of this. i guess they might be feeling that scotland, if they are going to do it it will be the hard way and that is something scotland have been so used to through the years, near misses and it is their first appearance at and it is their first appearance at a major men's tournament in 23

that looks for a genetic material in the virus, it is far more sensitive and specific than the lateral flow and specific than the lateral flow and they are required to regularly use pcr testing. this statement from uefa is a bit confusing because they mention their lateral flow that i imagine the two england players will also, if i have not already, have pcr in the last 2a hours or will have one very soon. pcr in the last 24 hours or will have one very soon.— pcr in the last 24 hours or will have one very soon. let's talk about the impact- — have one very soon. let's talk about the impact. mark, _ have one very soon. let's talk about the impact. mark, countdown i have one very soon. let's talk about the impact. mark, countdown to i have one very soon. let's talk about the impact. mark, countdown to the game, it affects everybody more generally because of the way you're trying to protect from injury from the match but this is an overlay from the match but this is an overla j ., from the match but this is an overla j . , ., from the match but this is an overlaj . , .y from the match but this is an overlaj ., , _ .,�* ., overlay that you simply don't want to have and _ overlay that you simply don't want to have and this _ overlay that you simply don't want to have and this is _ overlay that you simply don't want to have and this is almost - overlay that you simply don't want to have and this is almost like i to have and this is almost like throwing a pebble into a pond and immediately, despite the fact that we'll be hearing to the rules in the camp, you will automatically have concerns and people are people, you might suddenly find they are pulled out, as well. you are out for ten

7:25 am
jeremy stern's been looking into this. these chicks are already making an impression at the cotswold wildlife park. they'll grow to be around three feet tall, with a wingspan of seven feet. hundreds of years ago white storks soared over british land, but over the years they became an increasingly rare site. sort of in the 1400s, 1500s, they really disappeared as a breeding species from england. there's various reasons for that. this is probably the very edge of their range anyway — so you see them all through europe, but we're probably on the very edge, the northerly edge of where they can live. so for whatever reason — whether it was hunting, whether it was weather conditions — they really thinned out and stopped being a breeding bird in england. the park's working with landowners as part of the white stork project. the plan is to release these birds at the knepp countryside estate in sussex. until then, their exacting needs will be catered for. feeding twice daily — sometimes three times daily, depending on how hungry they are. they need fresh water daily, as well, and just at the start of breeding season they need lots
7:26 am
and lots of nesting material — bundles and bundles and bundles of sticks and twigs and hay — because they make really large nests which they return to every year and build on top of. these conservation projects can have a lasting impact. in 1990, spanish red kites were released into the chilterns. the rspb said white storks could benefit the countryside by improving wetlands. reedbeds, the estuary system — all these places are really, really important and often quite rare habitats, so the stork can come to symbolise the restoration of those places and getting that habitat right for those places. and that has a knock—on effect for other creatures, as well, so it won'tjust be for the benefit of the white storks. some of the storks released in sussex have migrated to north africa. the hope is they'll return to the uk and, by 2030, there'll be dozens of breeding pairs. jeremy stern, bbc news.

7:30 am
and persistent rain, today is set to be a bit drier, but we're still left with little bit of rain down towards the south and east of london. that should start to clear, though, as we head through the morning, and then the cloud will start to break. we've still got that north—easterly breeze, though, today, so temperatures still only reaching around 17 celsius, but we see the return of the sunshine. now of course it's the football tonight — czech republic versus england at wembley — so a dry match, it looks like. bit of cloud around but some sunshine, as well, before the sun sets. temperature at kick—off around 15 celsius but once the sun does set it is going to get quite chilly — under the clear skies tonight, temperatures drop back down into single figures with a minimum of six celsius. so a chilly start to wednesday but high pressure continues to build so it is a dry day tomorrow, plenty of sunny spells and temperatures make a bit of a recovery — back up in the low 20s. similar for thursday but then rain overnight thursday, into friday morning.

7:43 am
peaceful here at the moment. it will be quite like this later. it is true. did we think we would get through a tournament like this without being affected by covert? probably not. it is a big night for england and for scotland in the euros yesterday's results mean we know england are through to the next 16. they will top their group if they beat the czech republic. scotland is a different story. they simply have to beat croatia to rejoin england in the next round. but scotland will definitely be without their brilliant midfielder billy gilmour tonight because he has tested positive for covid—19. jane dougall reports. scotland should be going into tonight's crucial match still basking in the glow of their scoreless result against the auld enemy. but the confidence gained from drawing against a country a0 world ranking places above them has been dealt a blow. what world ranking places above them has been dealt a blow.— been dealt a blow. what a performance. _ been dealt a blow. what a performance. billy - been dealt a blow. what a |

that is the story in scotland. so england are guaranteed to reach the last 16. a victory over the czechs at wembley would mean they top the group. but they could be without ben chilwell and mason mount, who are self—isolating as a precaution after coming into close contact with billy gilmour after that game with scotland. olly foster reports. mason mount and benjoel were among the first to congratulate their chelsea team—mate after his man of the match display for scotland last friday. but after taking part in england's training yesterday the pair, who have returned negative test of the past a8 hours, were informed they would have to self—isolate, their participation in their final group game tonight up in their final group game tonight up in the air. irate their final group game tonight up in the air. ~ ., their final group game tonight up in the air. ~ . ., , their final group game tonight up in the air. ~ . ., . u , . the air. we have to accept whatever the air. we have to accept whatever the situation _ the air. we have to accept whatever the situation is _ the air. we have to accept whatever the situation is and _ the air. we have to accept whatever the situation is and adapt _ the air. we have to accept whatever the situation is and adapt to - the air. we have to accept whatever the situation is and adapt to it. - the situation is and adapt to it. that is the world we are all living in across every family and across every sport and every business. and every sport and every business. and toniuht, every sport and every business. and tonight, with or without them, it is down to business again at wembley. a

convincing win against the czech republic would go a long way to putting that purple poor performance against scotland behind them. it would also see england's top the group. it sounds like a good thing, but it probably isn't. that's because their next match would be against france, germany or ronaldo's portugal. southgate knows better than the look that far ahead. first thins than the look that far ahead. first things first- _ than the look that far ahead. first things first. we _ than the look that far ahead. first things first. we play _ than the look that far ahead. first things first. we play a _ than the look that far ahead. f “st things first. we play a totally different thing, that the czech republic, that we have got huge respect for. the coach has done a fantasticjob respect for. the coach has done a fantastic job there. respect for. the coach has done a fantasticjob there. very dangerous team. we have concentrated on preparing for the next challenge. this preparing for the next challenge. as england try and find the spark to get them going again, the czech republic caught fire very early in this tournament. three goals for patrick sheikh so far, one of them very special. england, already through to the last 16 after last night's results, would take any type of goal, as long as it is a winning one. olly foster, bbc news. wales will play denmark in the next

and anyone who has watched a cricket match knows you need to keep your eye out for the ball, especially when a big hitting batsman is at the crease. illingworth st mary's asif ali knew he'd hit this one particulrly well — actually, a little too well. a big six for the man with the bat, but the sound you might be able to hear is that of the ball smashing a car windscreen. before long he realised it was his car windscreen. there is a lovely moment when everybody realises what he has done. i have got to mention the denmark result. incredible considering that so many people both who love
7:49 am
football and are sort of casual viewers will have known what happened to christian eriksen, will have known that denmark had to win that game. and to do that and make it through to the next round, i think they will be everybody�*s second team for this tournament? that is just what i was going to say. i think they are everybody�*s favoured team at the moment. the neutrals, certainly. what a story it would be if they could keep going. it has all the romance this tournament needs. everybody is willing them to do well. obviously the news from christian eriksen remains good. i think you can see they can now focus on playing. maybe that will strengthen their resolve even further. and looking back to when all of that happened, should they have actually restarted that game the night they did? i'm not entirely sure they should have done. that result was even more special because it feels like the right thing is happening.— because it feels like the right thing is happening. thank you for that. the thing is happening. thank you for that- they play — thing is happening. thank you for that. they play wales. _ thing is happening. thank you for that. they play wales. so - thing is happening. thank you for that. they play wales. so not - that. they play wales. so not everybody wants denmark to do well!

8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. england and scotland's preparations for tonight's games at the euros have been disrupted by covid. good morning from hampden park. scotland will have to take on croatia in their must win game here at hampden without key player billy gilmour who has tested positive for the virus. welcome to wembley. last night's results mean england are already through to the last 16 — but mason mount and ben chilwell could miss out tonight after being advised to self—isolate. poorer white pupils have been let down by decades of neglect,
8:01 am
according to a new report by mps. counting the cost of covid. last month saw a slight reduction in government borrowing — but the overall bill is eye—watering. could it mean higher taxes to help balance the books? # to cut a long story short i lost my mind. a0 years of pop — tony hadley tells us why he's looking forward to getting back on the road for his new tour. good morning. today we are looking at the largely dry with a fair bit of sunshine a day but we have to lose the rain in the first instance across areas. more rain later and all the details in about ten minutes. it's tuesday the 22nd ofjune. two of england's footballers could miss tonight's match against the czech republic, after coming into contact with the scotland midfielder billy gilmour, who's tested positive for coronavirus.
8:02 am
ben chilwell and mason mount are both isolating. england are through to the last 16 of the european championships after last night's results but scotland face a must win game against croatia at hampden park. john's at hampden park in glasgow. the pressure is on. good morning. yes, good morning. it is indeed. the stage is set here at hampden park where scotland face croatia in that must win game to stand any chance of reaching the knockout phase of euro 2020. the big news leading into that match, the absence of billy gilmour, who tested positive for coronavirus just a8 hours after his man of the match performance against england on friday. it raised questions about how the covid rules and isolation procedures are being applied. when pointing out that the scotland midfielderjohn fleck tested
8:03 am
positive for a covid once's training camp in the lead up to the toilet, leading to the isolation of squad players, but in this instance no close contacts have been deemed in this instance —— in the lead up to the tournament. billy gilmour was sharing a changing room of his team—mates in the lead up to the game. we saw him embracing steve clarke coming off the pitch and he was also pictured playing table tennis alongside andy robertson and john mcginn, but none of those have been deemed close contacts. he will been deemed close contacts. he will be a huge loss, such was his influence in that impressive draw against england. but as steve clarke has pointed out, they got here without billy gilmour. he only played his first competitive start for his country against england. having qualified without him, there is no reason they cannot produce that important performance later without him. as we know, reasons for scotland perhaps to be hopeful,
8:04 am
albeit they didn't get that victory against the czech republic in their opening game. they will be back home in front of 12,500 fans at hampden park later so they will be cheered on by the home support. as they know, they need to win to stand a chance of qualifying and they had to score, which they haven't done so far in this tournament, if they are to reach the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time in scotland's history.— in scotland's history. thank you very much- _ white pupils from poorerfamilies have been let down by "decades of neglect", according to a report from mps. the chair of the education select committee robert halfon described it as a national scandal. the government said it was committed to making sure no child was left behind. our political correspondent chris mason joins us now. good morning. you will have seen here this morning. what do you make of it? i here this morning. what do you make of it? ., . , here this morning. what do you make of it? ., ., . , of it? i thought it was really strikint

of it? i thought it was really striking by _ of it? i thought it was really striking by the _ of it? i thought it was really striking by the anger, i of it? i thought it was really striking by the anger, the l of it? i thought it was really i striking by the anger, the sense that this government and previous governments going back generations have not done enough to help white working—class pupils do as well as perhaps they could in school and chris mason's i admit is this cannot be explained purely by poverty —— robert halfon's argument. there are other children from different backgrounds, perhaps with similar issues as far as poverty are concerned and yet managed to perform better. here was robert halfon in the last half hour. well, we have over 900,000 white working—class pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds who are struggling at every stage of the education system — right through from early years up to higher education. and just 17.7% of these pupils get passes at gcse maths and english, and just 16% of them go to a university, and they underperform compared to almost every other ethnic group, every other cohort. and this group have been neglected for decades and that is wrong, it's
8:06 am
a scandal, and it has to be addressed. interestingly, one element of this report that is causing some controversy this morning is a suggestion within it that the phrase, the concept of white privilege, this idea that those who are of a white ethnic heritage do have an advantage over those who are not, is a divisive and not useful term in the context of these debates. it is a sufficiently controversial maxim on the committee are not happy with it and some teaching unions who are not happy with it. part of the swell of discussion around this hugely important issue which the government says it is doing its best to address. says it is doing its best to address-— says it is doing its best to address. . ,, , ., , . patients in england are set to get easier access to their own medical information under government plans. the new system would allow
8:07 am
people to use nhs apps to renew medications, check test results and speak to health and care staff. ministers say the scheme will give patients more control over their data. a planned rollout of a digital database of gp records was delayed earlier this month following concerns over a lack of public consultation. nominations will close today for the leadership of the democratic unionist party in northern ireland. long—serving mp sirjeffrey donaldson is the only candidate so far to put his name forward — it's widely expected he will be unopposed. lets get more from our correspondent danjohnson, who's at stormont this morning. that morning. hopefully you can run us through what is likely to happen in the next few days. yes. us through what is likely to happen in the next few days.— in the next few days. yes, if there are no contenders _ in the next few days. yes, if there are no contenders apart _ in the next few days. yes, if there are no contenders apart from i in the next few days. yes, if there are no contenders apart from sir. are no contenders apart from sir jeffrey donaldson then he is likely to be confirmed very quickly in the job but will not take up the role until next week. one question will be, how will you become first minister? he said he would notjust
8:08 am
be party leader but he would install himself here, but he is a westminster mp rather than a medley of the assembly. it is a need to get over, question over what happens to paul givan, defence minister who only took thejob paul givan, defence minister who only took the job last week and there are plenty of other tracks were committed also to negotiate. you put out a statement last night announcing his candidacy and trying to unite the party is around the northern ireland protocol, the de facto trade border down the irish sea which has caused issues with checks on goods coming in to northern ireland from great britain. he said that was the number one issue facing people in northern ireland, its place in the uk. that is his attempt to unite the dup but evenif is his attempt to unite the dup but even if he can take his party with him, getting the support of sinn fein could be tricky. mr donaldson may now face an easy country to the leadership that he will certainly not have an easy time to get the job. not have an easy time to get the 'ob. ., ~ not have an easy time to get the 'ob. . ~' , ., liverpool could lose its world heritage status after a recommendation by the united nation's cultural body unesco.
8:09 am
it's unhappy at plans for development on part of the city's historic dockland. the metro mayor of liverpool has described the decision as "deeply disappointing". unesco has also called for the great barrier reef to be put on a list of world heritage sites that are "in danger" over harm caused by climate change. it says the world's biggest reef system has been badly damaged after several bleaching events which cause large areas of coral to die off because of warming sea temperatures. the australian government says it's stunned by the decision. it is nine minutes past eight and carol has a lovely field of poppies. good morning. it is a beautiful field of poppies and the weather today, depending on your point of view, is also beautiful. dry day for many, a fair bit of sunshine around and certainly a lot drier through the day in the south of england than yesterday. we still have some rain
8:10 am
but it will pull away, a keen breeze across east anglia and the south—east. lot of sunshine, but to the west of scotland, the rest of northern ireland, through the day the cloud will build, heralding the arrival of a weather front, bringing some rain. if you're in the sunshine, temperatures up to 20 degrees, will be quite pleasant, not as pleasant in the rain in stornoway, with a high of 13 degrees. through the evening and overnight, our weather front producing this cloud and patchy rain continues to sink slowly southwards, getting into northern england and eventually north west wales. some health, coastal mist and fog, but under all the cloud it will be milder than the nightjust gone with temperatures in parts of the highlands falling to freezing. under clear skies ahead of it, a cold at night than the one just gone across central and southern england. through tomorrow, there will be some clear skies, sunshine to enjoy across the far south and south—east our weather front continue to take

8:24 am
gullet —— look at what the acid from the battery. that can burn through to one of the really large blood vessels like the aorta which was the case in this child's sad case. it causes catastrophic bleeding. they can also erode the other way and cause bleeding to the main breeding pipe, the trachea, which can also cause death or very serious injury —— the breathing pipe, the trachea. these should be kept well out of the way of children.— way of children. what strikes me is ou miaht way of children. what strikes me is you might rrot _ way of children. what strikes me is you might not know— way of children. what strikes me is you might not know immediately . way of children. what strikes me is i you might not know immediately that something has happened, either. same something has happened, either. some ofthe something has happened, either. some of the worst cases _ something has happened, either. some of the worst cases where _ something has happened, either. fine of the worst cases where button batteries have caused catastrophic injuries, there was no knowledge that the child had swallowed a battery. so the first think you may know is that the child is vomiting blood, so any child who is vomiting

8:40 am
they trained yesterday without billy gilmour, who's tested positive for covid 19. scotland have just one point from two games. the scottish fa currently says there are no close contacts identified from inside their camp. he's upset, as you would expect. asymptomatic, no symptoms, so hopefully his health will hold up, he won't have too many symptoms and he'll get back to playing as quickly as possible. obviously a blow for us in terms of the team, but a chance for someone else. a victory over the czech republic here at wembley will be see england finish top of the group. it's unclear as to whether they'll be without ben chilwell and mason mount, who are self—isolating. they came into close contact with billy gilmour at the end of last week's draw with scotland. yeah, look, i don't want to cause a drama for scotland, but, erm, if you're all in the dressing room
8:41 am
together, where does everything stand ? so, it's... ..yeah, i don't know, is the honest answer to that. our medical people are dealing with all of this. i'm being updated as regularly as we can be, which is every hour or so, there's a little bit more information. erm, and we have to accept whatever the situation is and adapt to it. a really tricky time for both sets of players, you would have to say. so how will the players be feeling? let's speak to two men who will have a good idea, former england playerjohn barnes and former scotland player paul lambert. morning. paul, i morning. paul, lam going morning. paul, i am going to come to you first of all because scotland are the story at the moment. covid was bound to be an issue during this tournament. how are they going to

manage with the current situation? it's really difficult. the world is in a exactly the same place. nobody knows where it is going to go, if you can be infected or not. it is really unfortunate billy gilmour has tested positive because i thought he was excellent the other night. i understand gareth pass my point of view from the england side. i also understand stevie pass my point of view from the scotland side. this pandemic is sweeping the world. i don't thing any body can get away from it at the minute. you mentioned of course how — from it at the minute. you mentioned of course how great _ from it at the minute. you mentioned of course how great billy _ from it at the minute. you mentioned of course how great billy gilmour - of course how great billy gilmour pass my performance was the other night. how much of amy's will willie be for scotland? i night. how much of amy's will willie be for scotland?— be for scotland? i think it will be a massive _ be for scotland? i think it will be a massive blow, _ be for scotland? i think it will be a massive blow, the _ be for scotland? i think it will be a massive blow, the way - be for scotland? i think it will be a massive blow, the way he - be for scotland? i think it will be i a massive blow, the way he played. he's great on the ball. his head movement is really good. he receives it before he even looks. it is a great attribute for a midfield player. he is one step at the top.

some rain. a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. a keen breeze in the south east and east anglia. that will take the edge off the temperatures. through the morning you will see it will clear the south coast what it will linger in the channel islands. for south west lincoln, wales, the midlands, nor ireland, much of scotland and northern ireland, we are looking at some time out. a misty start across parts of northern ireland and the highlands. temperatures across —— around freezing. picking up. at the same time the thicker cloud towards the west will eventually introduce some rain across western scotland and also the west of northern ireland. here, temperatures 13 in stornoway, 17 in belfast. it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. a high of 20 degrees in cardiff. this evening and overnight, the weather front producing this cloud and patchy rain will continue to slowly slip southwards. they can get into northern england and eventually north west wales. clear skies in the

8:52 am
i thought you were going to give us all the answers. unfortunately, nobody quite knows the answer yet. good morning. we had an update of this morning on the uk because my collective pot of money, what is coming in, what is going out and how much is being borrowed to protect businesses and families. why do we care about this? well, in trying to keep a healthy balance sheet the government can do things like cut public services or increase taxes. for obvious reasons they have been spending big. it is estimated over £300 billion has been set aside for a coronavirus support schemes. the furlough, orjob retention scheme, has cost the treasury £60 billion and counting. they have been splashing out while there has been a lot less money coming in, because less tax has been generated. in the year to march, the government borrowed just over £300 billion. compare that to the year before, when they borrowed £46 billion. and
8:53 am
this morning, we learned they borrowed a further 24 billion to get us through may, a huge sum but less than the previous one. this morning, rishi sunak, the chancellor, defended the borrowing, saying it is helping people to get back on their feet. he also pointed to the decision in march to increase corporation tax. where else can he make savings? there isn't much room for manoeuvre after the conservative election promise not to raise income tax, vat or national insurance. they have also promised a triple lock on the state pension, meaning it will rise annually by the rate of inflation, earnings growth or by 2%, whichever is the highest. so what can rishi sunak do? as things stand the government gives tax breaks as a reward for investing in pensions. one option would be to review that. one option would be to review that. one of the possible ways of cutting costs is a move to a flat rate of tax relief. so the way it works at
8:54 am
the moment is the amount of tax relief you get depends on what sort of taxpayer you are. a basic rate taxpayer gets 20%, the higher rate gets 40%. the move to the flat rate would mean everybody would get the same. this is unlikely to hoard basic rate taxpayers because that flat rate would be unlikely to be below 20%. it would affect higher taxpayers. below 20%. it would affect higher taxa ers. , ., , ., taxpayers. does it really matter that national— taxpayers. does it really matter that national debt _ taxpayers. does it really matter that national debt is _ taxpayers. does it really matter that national debt is so - taxpayers. does it really matter that national debt is so high? i that national debt is so high? sometimes people compared to household finances. slightly redundant considering most experts agree that at the moment of borrowing big is notjust the right way but the only way to move forward. those decisions around pay in the coming months will affect everything from how much tax we pay to how much money goes into schools, social care and the nhs, so a big decisions ahead.— taking on some of the lake district's breath—taking peaks is a challenge for any avid walker — but how about doing it all in your bare feet? ouch. that's exactly what matthew scott did this weekend,
