good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the latest rules on foreign travel will be set out today, with the travel industry calling for an expansion to england's green list. last time, the list was reviewed, portugal was removed from the list causing travel chaos for thousands. the industry says restrictions need to be lifted now to save the summer getaway. the pop star britney spears says she wants her life back, as she appeals for control of her business and personal affairs. forced to give up their babies for adoption in their youth, thousands of women now ask for a formal apology from the scottish government.

it's germany again for england at a major tournament. the germans are heading to wembley after a night of drama in the last of the group matches when they left it late to earn a draw against hungary. good morning. some of us will see some sunshine today but for most it is going to be a fairly cloudy day with some rain, the heaviest of which will be across scotland and northern ireland. all of the details coming up. it's thursday 24th june. our top story. the travel industry is urging the government to add more countries to the list of destinations that don't require people to quarantine when they return. the green list for england is set to be updated today. there's been some speculation that malta could be added, along with the spanish islands ibiza, majorca and minorca. here's our transport correspondent caroline davies. save travel! the travel industry is frustrated and nervous. protesting yesterday around the country, the people whose jobs rely

on international travel reopening. they want more countries on the green list and more financial support from the government. we don't want to be sitting idle, we want to be back at work, taking people on holiday or to see their loved ones overseas so it's hugely frustrating for us. when i'm bringing seven people back from ibiza, that's just not sustainable. you know, for anybody. so something has to change and quickly. we need customers to be able to survive, so manyjobs- are at risk, thousandsl and thousands ofjobs. the westminster government is expected to announce the latest green list for england later today. scotland, wales and northern ireland have previously adopted the same list. green means that arrivals to the uk don't need to quarantine, although they do need to take a test before and after they travel. amber means that arrivals must quarantine at home and red means quarantine at a hotel. in the last week, some government ministers have suggested that it might be possible to remove quarantine for fully

vaccinated passengers from amber list countries. that would make a big difference to rachel, who lives in switzerland and has had both jabs. her stepfather is ill in hospital and her 81—year—old mum had covid over christmas. it would make such a big difference if we could get over to see my mum, just to give her a big hug because she's gone through so much. and, yeah, it's been a really difficult time. there might be news on whether and when fully vaccinated travellers might be able to do this later today as well, but there are no guarantees about this or whether there will be any more countries on the green lists. look, i'd love to have the whole world opened up but we all have to accept there are places that we can't go. the red list countries for example. but we have also said that if you have been double vaccinated, then of course we need to look at what the science said, we said

in the global travel taskforce report, which set out our approach to international travel. and we have said that monday is the point to review that data. so we are coming up to having a look. after a day of protest, today the industry has to wait and see what the government decides. caroline davies, bbc news. around two million people may have had long—lasting symptoms after contracting coronavirus, a condition known as long covid. that's according to a survey of 500,000 adults in england, which found a third of people still had at least one symptom up to 12 weeks after having the virus. it comes as the uk recorded the highest number of daily cases since february, as matt graveling reports. with covid cases rising, the message is clear. get your vaccine. more than 16,000 people tested positive for the virus in the latest 24—hour period, the highest since february. and so the race is on to get adults double jabbed. whilst nhs england say progress is being made, and that more people from ethnic minority backgrounds are now booking theirjabs, there is still work to be done. with a weekend of walk—in

appointments being planned to make getting the vaccine easier. it is never too late to come forward and take up your vaccine. your vaccine has a name on it, it is for you and it is an evergreen offer, so as soon as you feel able, come forward and we will vaccinate you. the current mass testing in scotland could explain the higher number of positive cases there. but in recent days, about two thirds of cases have been from men aged 15 to 44, and it's thought social gatherings to watch euro 2020 could be behind the rise. meanwhile, new figures show that around 2 million people may have suffered from so—called long covid, when people who have contracted the virus experience symptoms weeks and months later. more than half a million people were surveyed by the react—2 study, and researchers say managing the long—term consequences of the virus are a major challenge. we are looking at persistent symptoms, one or more symptoms that lasted at least 12 weeks,

at least three months. i think we're seeing the scale of the problem, and actually the nhs is now getting to grips with setting up specific long covid clinics. the survey found long covid was more common in older people but more research is being done, with the government committing £50 million towards the study in the hope of improving the treatments available. matt graveling, bbc news. the american pop star, britney spears, has urged a judge in california to remove her father's control over her personal and financial affairs. jamie spears was granted what's called a conservatorship over his daughter in 2008, after she was hospitalised following concerns for her mental health. let's get the latest now from our correspondent david willis who was at the hearing. good morning. there may be some flashing images, just telling people before they listen to what you have

to say. take us through what happened in court overnight. charlie, britney spears addressed the court by phone from a remote location, and she was angry, angry with the people that the court had appointed to care for her. chief among them herfather, appointed to care for her. chief among them her father, jamie appointed to care for her. chief among them herfather, jamie spears, who for the last 13 years has not only been in charge of his daughter's personal life but also her $60 million estate. britney spears accused him and others of threatening and manipulating her. she said that for example she wanted to get married to her boyfriend and try for a baby, but the conservatorship would not allow it. she said she wanted to go to hospital to get an iud contraceptive device removed by the conservatorship would not allow it. she demanded an end to an arrangement that she described as abusive. it has been 13 years, she said, and that is enough, i want my

life back. thejudge praised britney spears for her courage in making that statement and she said that another court hearing will be set up which britney spears will be able to present her formal application to have the conservatorship dissolved. buckingham palace has admitted it has to "do better" in terms of recruiting staff from ethnic minorities. the lack of diversity was revealed in the latest annual report into the public funding of the monarchy. the sovereign grant has also highlighted a reduction in income from visits to royal palaces and some sharp cuts in expenditure. here's our royal correspondent, nick witchell. it is the institution which stands at the pinnacle of national life. but now for the first time, buckingham palace has conceded that it has not done enough to promote diversity within the royal household. the publication of the palace�*s annual report has accompanied by remarks by a senior royal official.

0n diversity, the official said, "we are not where we would like to be despite our efforts. we recognise that we must do more. we need to improve". both the queen and the prince of wales have embraced the principles of diversity over many years. yet only 8.5% of buckingham palace staff are from ethnic minorities. a target of 10% has now been set to be achieved by the end of next year. according to the palace, this more active approach to diversity was under before the duke and duchess of sussex gave to diversity was under way before the duke and duchess of sussex gave their us television interview in which meghan suggested she had encountered racist attitudes within the royal family. elsewhere, the palace�*s annual report notes that the sussexes have made a payment of £2.11 million to cover the cost of the refurbishment of frogmore cottage in windsor, which it had been intended would be their permanent home. according to the palace, this payment is also deemed to cover rent for the cottage. speaking of refurbishment, these are the latest pictures from inside buckingham palace.

it's currently in the fourth year of a ten year, £369 million refurbishment programme. the closure of the palace to visitors last summer had a detrimental effect on palace revenue, down more than £10 million. but it meant that in some areas such as the palace picture gallery, work was able to proceed without interruption. for the queen, who had herfirst face—to—face audience with the prime minister yesterday since march of last year, it should mean that the palace is ready to receive visitors again in time for her platinum jubilee next year. nicholas witchell, bbc news. as nicholas witchell mentioned in his report there, the queen met with borisjohnson yesterday for the first time in more than a year. let's have a listen to what was said.

it's just one of those moments, because as everyone is aware, the body of what they talk about is completely private, nothing has ever leaked ever from those things, but sometimes they do that little arrival where the cameras are there and everyone knows, they are listening in, to capture those moments. listening in, to capture those moments-— listening in, to capture those moments. , , ., moments. prime ministers have said that is the only _ moments. prime ministers have said that is the only regular— moments. prime ministers have said that is the only regular meeting - that is the only regular meeting they know will never be leaked. so they know will never be leaked. so they can say anything and they almost feel it is like the place that they can actually be completely open and get counsel from the queen.

the yorkshire wolds and cheshire sandstone ridge could be designated as new areas of outstanding natural beauty. this means they would be given extra legal protection and subject to tighter planning laws. our environment and rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall, reports. as our population grows, so does the pressure on our wild places. the government is now proposing to protect more of the landscape. these are the yorkshire wolds. they could be designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. they wouldn't be immune from development but there would be more legal safeguards, such as tighter planning laws. the cheshire sandstone ridge is also being put forward for protected status. we've discovered over the years that by having area of outstanding natural beauty status, it does bring more people there. we have the most wonderful network of footpaths and bridleways across the country. we have wonderful tourism attractions in these places. and also within them are some of our wonderful

national nature reserves. more of the surrey hills could also be protected. but business leaders worry that new laws could stifle economic development. tourism is to be supported. we have many members who are in this sector. 0ur concerns revolve around the word protection, and designation, and whether in fact that's going to lead to increased development controls through the planning process. conservationists say many areas already given protected status are under threat. the government said today more of the chilterns could be safeguarded but part of the controversial high—speed rail link, hs2, is being built here. wildlife groups argue that what is needed is properfunding, and legally binding targets to help restore the natural world. claire marshall, bbc news. why not get outdoors to enjoy some of those wonderful places, why not?

look at that lovely place, you could run down there, look at that pathway there, where would that take you? i haven't got a clue but it is a lovely picture! and it does describe the weather today quite nicely because today for many of us, it will be quite a cloudy day, some of us will see some rain, the heaviest will be across scotland and northern ireland, courtesy of this weather front and this will sink south and behind it the wind will be more northerly. this weather front is sinking across england and wales, a fairly weak one but still producing some patchy rain, murky conditions around it, hilland some patchy rain, murky conditions around it, hill and coastalfog as well. in the south—east we start off on a bright note with some sunshine but it will cloud over through the day with some splashes of rain later. in between the two bands is where we will see some sunshine this afternoon through wales and northern england, somewhere in north—east england, somewhere in north—east england could a chilly hit 2a this afternoon in the sunshine, feeling

quite pleasant —— somewhere in north—east england could hit 2a this afternoon. just over the borders, the wind will be northerly and it will feel chilly, gusting to a0 miles an hour. this evening and overnight, a band of rain slide south, a brisk wind, some showers in the south—east ahead of it and it will not be cold tonight, most of us in double figures. nine in the far north of scotland to 15 as we come towards the midlands and the south—east. tomorrow we start with a band of rain and watch how it curls around, back into scotland, clipping the north—east of england. some brighter skies towards the west, but through the day we could see some thundery showers across parts of wales, the midlands and north—west england. these are the temperatures, up england. these are the temperatures, up to 20 but with the brisk wind, it will feel cooler. thank you. we will see you with a more in—depth forecast in half an

hour. the time is 6:15am. holidaymakers will find out later today which countries, if any, are to be added to the government's so called green list of quarantine—free destinations. ben is at manchester airport for us, looking ahead to which countries could be an option for travel this summer. it is grey and a little bit drizzly there. so many people may be thinking, 0k, there. so many people may be thinking, ok, when, when can i get some guaranteed sun?— some guaranteed sun? yeah, good mornin: , some guaranteed sun? yeah, good morning. both- _ some guaranteed sun? yeah, good morning, both. i— some guaranteed sun? yeah, good morning, both. iwas_ some guaranteed sun? yeah, good morning, both. iwas listening - some guaranteed sun? yeah, good morning, both. i was listening to l morning, both. i was listening to the weather saying it could be getting warmer, it could not come soon enough right now! it is a bit grey and misty at manchester airport and many will be hoping that they can get away this summer. to give you an indication of the impact it has had on places like this, normally in an average day they would have 105,000 people passing through the airport, yesterdayjust 5000 people passed through here. so there is a concern, and you saw in there is a concern, and you saw in the report earlier from there is a concern, and you saw in the report earlierfrom caroline, those protests earlier about the

impact the restrictions are happening notjust on us on holiday makers but for the industry as a whole. thousands ofjobs have been lost in the industry as a result of these restrictions so they will be keeping a very close eye on seeing whether any new countries will be added to the so—called green list which allow you to travel without having to quarantine on your return. and whether there will be any other announcements about things perhaps like being able to travel with two vaccines. let me introduce you to karen, the managing director at manchester airport, good morning. what are you expecting today? here we are three weeks on from the last review of the green list, are you expecting new countries to be added? today, that is part of the challenge, the unpredictable nature. we don't _ challenge, the unpredictable nature. we don't know this morning with an announcement due later today what the government is going to say so we have no_ the government is going to say so we have no forewarning. what we need today— have no forewarning. what we need today is_ have no forewarning. what we need today is the — have no forewarning. what we need today is the government to be transparent with us about how they are selecting the countries to go onto_ are selecting the countries to go onto the — are selecting the countries to go onto the green list on the traffic

measures. it is 6:23am. last month on breakfast, we reported on the thousands of unmarried women in england who were forced to give up their babies for adoption in the 19505, �*60s and �*705. tens of thousands of women in scotland also went through the same trauma. now they want a formal apology from the scottish government and today some will meet the children's minister. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has been speaking to two mothers about their experience. so, here we are, this is it. elspeth ross was unmarried when she became pregnant in 1962. feels really weird, really weird. the shame was so great, she was sent in secret to this house in glasgow, then a church run mother and baby home. it's where she gave birth. this is the first time she's been back inside in 59 years. so strange, walking in here after all these years. it's now flats, but she goes straight to the room

where she last saw her baby. this is the last place i saw my son. it's a moment she yearns for the past. just turn the clock back. when you see this room, what does it mean to you? oh, it's horrible, just horrible. sort of saved this up for years. this was the last place you saw your baby? in that room. elspeth wouldn't see her son again for 35 years. did you give up your baby? no, it was taken, it was actually taken from my arms without telling me what was happening. there are no official figures for how many unmarried women

were forced to give up their babies for adoption in scotland in the three decades after the second world war. the pressure on them came from theirfamilies, churches, doctors, nurses and social workers. these are some of the birth mothers in england who were also pressured to give up their babies for adoption. i was 18. i don't think i wanted to believe i was pregnant for a long time. it was 1967, and judy baker recalls the shame she was made to feel. she is still haunted by the day she had to give up her baby. how can that have happened to me? but my mum was waiting for me downstairs. and we went shopping. we went shopping. i loved her so much,

i still love her. i'm her mum. the birth mothers wrote to borisjohnson last month, asking him to issue a government apology for historical forced adoptions, because of the role played by nhs staff and social workers. i feel deep sadness that in the past, women were forced to give their children up for adoption. in scotland, nicola sturgeon says she will now consider an apology. and today birth mothers will meet the scottish children's minister to discuss the idea. do you think it's time someone, the government, should say sorry? yes, i do, i do. it's, ijust never really had a life, to be honest. i just went through the motions. there is a big hole in it? a great big hole in it, mm—hmm. that was elspeth ross ending that report from duncan kennedy.

such as things like xylella, to putting choices of plants that people can choose that perhaps use less water or do capture more pollution and more carbon. and the way that we garden i think, the information and science we learn, we want to share that so that people can get inspired to grow and to be more connected with nature. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. south west services have 10 min delays and cancellations at clapham junction. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a rather chilly start to the day again for this time of year across the capital, temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night. but there's lots of early sunshine, we keep that blue sky and sunshine as we head through the morning.

answer peoples questions. having questions about the vaccine is ok. we don't mind, as doctors. having hesitancy, i don't mind, because it's something people want to know, is it necessary, what are the side effects and what are the long—term issues i will have from this? we try to make sure that we validate their concerns and we don't sneer at it, because these communities do have long—term historic issues with regards to trust within mainstream medicine or mainstream information and they have their own cultural and religious beliefs that play a role, so we've tried to tackle it but i'm really pleased that we can report that 85% more of uptake of the vaccine is there, so we are heading in the right direction.— in the right direction. another thin we in the right direction. another thing we will _ in the right direction. another thing we will talk _ in the right direction. another thing we will talk about - in the right direction. another thing we will talk about this i thing we will talk about this morning is the issue of pain that women experienced, particularly certain gynaecological procedures, and earlier this week i decided to

share my own experience after reading an article. i decided to share my own experience after reading an article from the author caitlin moran. she explained why she feels so strongly about the issue. i've now had very unfortunate complications from this sort of bad iud fitting. so first of all, i had two or three periods a month for six months after having it because the experience had been so dramatic. and then the next time i went for a medical procedure, and i'm very gung ho, i watch operations on youtube, i love a bit of gore. but i had to go for a mammogram two weeks ago and soon as i was back in a medical environment, i fainted. and it was just a very deep response, i was so horrified by what had happened last time that as soon as i was back in a medical situation, my bodyjust went into shock and fear and i was just flat out on the floor twice. being very clear about her experiences, and lots of other women have been in touch about the experiences. dr nighat arif is still with us, and we're also joined by lucy cohen, who is behind a campaign calling for appropriate pain relief

experience, and you have years of experience and you specialise in this insertion of the coil procedure, can you tell us first what is involved and is that reflected, is it a true reflection, mild discomfort for all or most women who have this procedure? i have to say i feel really saddened to hear lucy and your views, but i'm really pleased you are sharing them because it informs us as medical doctors and allows us to learn more, so i am listening as a doctor and i have done coils for many years and i have done coils for many years and i have a coil clinic this afternoon and it involves a small procedure and it involves a small procedure and i know it can be a painful procedure but it does involve a speculum and it's really important we explain to women and communicate effectively how it is done. there are different sizes speculum is and you can see the different sizes, the smaller one and a larger one and you must use lubrication and i let my patient handle the equipment and i say this is what i am going to put

in and it is like when we do a smear test and then i show women what the coil is like because we have lots of misconceptions about the coil and how big it is. i am a gp with a special interest in women's health and i carry one around with me, and is about five centimetres and it goesin is about five centimetres and it goes in straight and we use a device like this, this is the marina coil and it allows it to go straight into the cervix, into the womb and then the cervix, into the womb and then the arms open up and if it's a hormone coil, along the arms, and if it is a copper coil it doesn't have hormones as lucy was saying, and it stays on for ten years. there are risks and benefits to both of these and like you say, it comes down to communication. i am very honest with my patients and i say pain is on a spectrum. how you experience pain comes on a different level and we know if you are anxious or worried about the procedure, especially if questions are not answered, that's when i find women are more anxious and we need to keep coming back and

answering these issues, but we try to say to them that it is painful, but i find that if the procedure is painful, especially for women experiencing regina atrophy or have difficulty having a smear there is no point doing and that's where we should have intermediate services where women should be offered a coil to be put in under general anaesthetic if necessary or have a gas and air. it is a postcode lottery whether you have access to the services across the country and i have said it many times before, and i will get shot down for saying it again, but the system in place for gynaecological care in this country i'm afraid are sexist and misogynistic and we have internalised misogyny in the system itself. it's not gps or nurses or health care professionals, but the they are doing it well, but it is they are doing it well, but it is the way that the system is setup, the way that the system is setup, the red tape set up, access to information and the pandemic has highlighted to me as a gp even more

the difficulty women have in getting hormone replacement therapy for example. i setup my own page and you just have to look at some of the comments i get at the end of it, why are you talking about this, talk about in a closed room or i have doctors saying it's unprofessional to talk about it, but we must. we must tackle the way that pain is viewed because a swedish study in 201a showed women turn up in a&e and are not given appropriate pain care and because women go through periods and because women go through periods and childbirth they are expected to put up with it and it is normal for them, but it's not normal and we need to be discussing this far more so i'm really proud of you guys for doing that. so i'm really proud of you guys for doing that-— doing that. thank you very much. your views _ doing that. thank you very much. your views are _ doing that. thank you very much. your views are very _ doing that. thank you very much. your views are very clear. - doing that. thank you very much. your views are very clear. lucy, l doing that. thank you very much. l your views are very clear. lucy, the comments about the system and the way women's pain is managed, it's almost as if childbirth because it is the ultimate thing and we are so

called built for it, anything seen as less than that, perhaps we are supposed to cope with. how does this move forward? i know we have been doing things to move this forward? thank you so much for the doctor for sharing _ thank you so much for the doctor for sharing those views and that is music— sharing those views and that is music to — sharing those views and that is music to my ears. it's amazing to have _ music to my ears. it's amazing to have an _ music to my ears. it's amazing to have an ally— music to my ears. it's amazing to have an ally within the medical community and i have to say there have _ community and i have to say there have been— community and i have to say there have been doctors who have been really _ have been doctors who have been really supportive of the campaign. you commented on the postcode lottery— you commented on the postcode lottery and what has been clear from my research — lottery and what has been clear from my research is that the disparity between — my research is that the disparity between the treatment, the care, the experiences _ between the treatment, the care, the experiences of women is huge. there are no— experiences of women is huge. there are no two— experiences of women is huge. there are no two experiences which are alike _ are no two experiences which are alike and — are no two experiences which are alike and over 53% of respondents to my survey _ alike and over 53% of respondents to my survey were not offered any form of pain _ my survey were not offered any form of pain relief, myself included and i of pain relief, myself included and i asked _ of pain relief, myself included and i asked for— of pain relief, myself included and i asked for pain relief and i was told a _ i asked for pain relief and i was told a paracetamol would be enough. mps are _ told a paracetamol would be enough. mps are now acknowledging the problem and this was spoken about and there is now a new strategy being built around women's health.

he knew it, until... goretzka! with what could be a golden goal. a goal to book that wembley showdown next tuesday. it will be an absolute clash, because i think if you go through player by player, team by team, this is a 50—50 situation and it could end up again in the penalty shoot out. if it's penalties you were after, budapest was the city. france versus portugal had plenty of punch and a hugo lloris elbow and you know who. cristiano ronaldo. 1—0 portugal. karim benzema equalised with a penalty of his own before doubling the lead and sending portugal out, as it stood. if you couldn't quite keep count, jules kounde offered a helping hand, inside the box, that was just one outcome with ronaldo on target for a record equalling 109th time in international football. in the end, they both made it through. a crazy night saw the group of death bring this tournament to life.

earlier, spain also qualified helped by a moment martin dubravka won't want to see again. not that it will stop us showing you. totally bizarre. manchester city's ferran torres was in the goals in the 5—0 thrashing of slovakia that was taking spain through as group e winners until victor claesson's 93rd minute strike against poland took sweden top. we have two days to wait until the last 16, but the knockout football is already keeping us entertained. so if you've updated your euros wall chart, this is how the draw for the last 16 should look. so england face germany at wembley on tuesday — that game will be on bbc one at 5 o'clock. wales play denmark in amsterdam at 5 o'clock on saturday — that's also on bbc one. now, because they're both in the same side of the draw, england and wales could meet in the semi—finals — if they get that far, of course.

well, wales are heading to amsterdam today, for that game against denmark. wales fans have been warned not to travel to the netherlands because covid restrictions mean they won't be allowed into the country — but there will be danish fans at the game. jos buttler helped england to a comfortable win over sri lanka, in the the first of their three twenty20 matches. the tourists struggled to 129—7, with adil rashid and sam curran, taking two wickets apiece and england never looked in any trouble, as buttler anchored the innings, hitting an unbeaten 68, to give them victory by eight wickets, with 17 balls to spare. and with the euro is now having a two—day rest, all eyes are on the cricket because england and sri lanka do it again today in the second game, with england 1—0 so they could win the series today because it is the best of three. i feel your move has been lifted. because it is the best of three. i i feel your move has been lifted. it's usuall feel your move has been lifted. it�*s usually exciting. wales and denmark, england and germany and all that history. i'm sure there is more than that, over the coming days. riff

that, over the coming days. of course. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning both on good morning to you too. the weather today is very mixed. for most of us it will be fairly cloudy and there will be some sunshine around but we also have rain as well. we have a weak front moving south taking the cloud and patchy rain with it and after a bright start in the south—east it will cloud over but we also have a more active weather front across scotland and northern ireland bringing in some heavy and more persistent rain and behind that the wind will turn more northerly. a bright and sunny start in a cool start in the south—east and there is the weather front through the course of the day that will introduce. we have rain moving through scotland and getting on across the borders and getting on across the borders and also behind that we have the northerly flow. in the sunshine

today we will see highs of about 2a degrees, somewhere in north—east england, so although we start with a lot of low cloud and some merck round, it should brighten opposite moves away but today we have high levels of pollen around much of england. through the evening and overnight the weather front continues to the south—east taking cloud and patchy rain on the second weather front with heavy more persistent rain follows hot on its heels, still gusty winds coming on across the north and once again there will be northerly winds and we have this weather front coming back in across northern and eastern scotland bringing more rain, but as you can see, it is not going to be a cold night with most of us staying in double figures. tomorrow, the rain in the south—east pushes towards the south—eastern corner and we follow that round and we have the rain in north—east scotland pushing southwards through the day as well, southwards through the day as well, so brighter skies towards the west but as temperatures rise we could

see showers develop in some of them could be thundery over the west midlands into north—west england and parts of wales and for england and wales will feel quite humid and will do tomorrow as well. as we head through friday and into the weekend the weather system sinks southwards and is wrapped around an area of low pressure so the weather in the south will be more unsettled and there will be more unsettled and there will be more unsettled and there will be cloud around at times and we will be cloud around at times and we will have periods of rain and showers and to the north of that for scotland and northern ireland we are looking at bright conditions with some sunshine but it should brighten up some sunshine but it should brighten up across southern england and that could spark off some heavy and thundery showers for some as well. temperatures ranging from 12 to about 20 degrees and then into sunday we have the area of low pressure, so still a fair bit of cloud around and the weather fronts not too far from the south bringing in some rain at times but as we move into northern england and scotland and northern ireland you will have some sunshine and temperatures between 13 and 20 degrees. so the

weather is all over the place and this may well affect wimbledon on monday when the championship starts. thank you. see you later on. "i am traumatised. ijust want my life back". those were the words of the pop star britney spears overnight, as she told a court in los angeles that her father controlled her life, and she wanted the arrangement to end. jamie spears was granted what's called a �*conservatorship' over his daughter in 2008, allowing him to make personal and financial decisions on her behalf. we're joined now from california by lawyer and supporter of the freebritney campaign, lisa maccarley. good morning to you. probably worth explaining to people how this courtroom works, because the reporters, thejournalist, they neither heard nor saw britney spears but we know what you said because we had the transcripts. can you give us a sense of how it worked in

practice? starting with the pandemic, the los angeles superior court has encouraged lawyers and consumers, clients of lawyers to participate via zoom proceedings but in this case they called it microsoft teams and they have set up a system where everyone in the courtroom can see each other. find courtroom can see each other. and the can courtroom can see each other. and they can hear _ courtroom can see each other. mr. they can hear each other courtroom can see each other. fific they can hear each other and it courtroom can see each other. e'"ic they can hear each other and it is my understanding that britney spears participated using her cell phone, hopefully from her residence. it seemed that way. flan hopefully from her residence. it seemed that way.— hopefully from her residence. it seemed that way. can you take us throuih seemed that way. can you take us through the _ seemed that way. can you take us through the significant _ seemed that way. can you take us through the significant moments l through the significant moments question about looking at some of the quotes, she said for example that the conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. take a slew a little bit more of what she presented to the court. —— take us through a little bit more. it presented to the court. -- take us through a little bit more.— through a little bit more. it was shockini through a little bit more. it was shocking to _ through a little bit more. it was shocking to all— through a little bit more. it was shocking to all of— through a little bit more. it was shocking to all of us. _ through a little bit more. it was shocking to all of us. there - through a little bit more. it was shocking to all of us. there was through a little bit more. it was i shocking to all of us. there was a group of us that had access because

the team is a system allowed to have many people listening and i was outside with a group of young people who i like to refer to as the freebritney movement and we were listening, and to be honest we were in complete shock. i was not expecting miss spears to articulate so well all of her grievances and all of the injustices that she has been experiencing since this conservatorship was imposed on her over 13 years ago. the audience was cheering when she made her request, and especially when she requested to see a different attorney, but to be honest, as a lawyer i was very shocked to learn what she has been put through and she —— how she has been treated over the last 13 years. what new things did you discover. it

dedicated to discovering more about the science of gardening opens today. the £35 million gardening science centre opens at rhs wisley in surrey. academics and researchers will try and find out how gardens and plants can improve the environment and combat climate change. i think in relation to protecting our gardens from new pests and diseases, such as things like xylella, to putting choices of plants that people can choose that perhaps use less water or do capture more pollution and more carbon. and the way that we garden i think, the information and science we learn, we want to share that so that people can get inspired to grow and to be more connected with nature. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. south west trains, 10 min delays and cancellations at clapham junction.

0n the roads, blackwall tunnel, usual queues northbound from woolwich road. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a rather chilly start to the day again for this time of year across the capital, temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night. but there's lots of early sunshine, we keep that blue sky and sunshine as we head through the morning. and then into the afternoon, it's set to turn cloudier, there is a weather front heading our wayjust pushing down from the north—west, so distinctly cloudy as we head towards the end of the day but it will stay dry. and it's bringing with it some ratherwarm, humid air so temperatures around 20 to 21 celsius. and the winds are light. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, it won't be as cold as it was last night, temperatures will stay in double figures. the air still feeling rather muggy, they could be some showers as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. and then on friday, watch out for some more showers, there will also be some sunny spells around. and it stays rather warm, quite muggy feeling,

cooler again by the time we get to saturday again with the chance of some showers over the weekend. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. the latest rules on foreign travel will be set out today, with industry bosses calling for an expansion to england's green list. last time the list was reviewed, portugal was removed, causing travel chaos for thousands. the industry says restrictions need to be lifted now to save the summer getaway. the pop star britney spears says she wants her life back, as she appeals for control of her business and personal affairs. the man who tested positive for coronavirus for more than 300 days. we meet dave smith,

who had covid for longer than anyone else in the world. does that make me a star? well, i think i should have a badge or something! it's germany again for england at a major tournament. the germans are heading to wembley after a night of drama in the last of the group matches when they left it late to earn a draw against hungary. there is some sunshine in the forecast today but for many of us, it's going to be fairly cloudy with some rain, the heaviest will be across scotland and northern ireland. all of the details coming up. it's thursday 2ath june. our top story. the travel industry is urging the government to add more countries to the list of destinations that don't require people to quarantine when they return. the green list for england is set to be updated today. there's been some speculation that malta could be added, along with the spanish islands ibiza, majorca and minorca. ben is at manchester airport

for us this morning. good morning. we are being very cautious around this because what could happen is nothing changes, but nonetheless, people are curious about whether something might change and it has huge imprecations for the travel industry.— travel industry. yes, absolutely ri i ht. travel industry. yes, absolutely right- and _ travel industry. yes, absolutely right- and if— travel industry. yes, absolutely right. and if you _ travel industry. yes, absolutely right. and if you are _ travel industry. yes, absolutely right. and if you are waking - travel industry. yes, absolutely right. and if you are waking up| right. and if you are waking up anywhere in the country this morning and the weather is like this outside, you will be desperate for a holiday to somewhere a little warmer. but you are absolutely right, charlie, the last time the list was reviewed three weeks ago, the industry was wrong—footed. they expected more countries to be added to that so—called green list, to allow us to travel without having to quarantine on our return. actually what happened was that portugal, the only major european holiday destination already on the list was removed. it caused chaos for thousands of people, rushing to get back to the uk before that list changed again and they would have to face further restrictions. so what

we are expecting later today, perhaps a change, perhaps as you say, no change. we will not give details until this evening. all of that uncertainty is so damaging for the industry. they say 200,000 jobs have already been lost. to give you an example here at manchester airport, on a typical summer day, they would handle 105,000 passengers every day. yesterday, there were just 5000 people here. a little earlier i was speaking to the managing director of manchester airport, and she told me that it is that uncertainty which is so damaging, they simply cannot plan what is coming up next. it’s damaging, they simply cannot plan what is coming up next.— what is coming up next. it's really im iortant what is coming up next. it's really important that — what is coming up next. it's really important that we _ what is coming up next. it's really important that we understand - what is coming up next. it's really| important that we understand how government is making the decisions, from the _ government is making the decisions, from the greenest, they should have been a _ from the greenest, they should have been a green watchlist. we saw they moved _ been a green watchlist. we saw they moved portugal from the green straight — moved portugal from the green straight onto the amber list, that dense _ straight onto the amber list, that dense consumer confidence and makes people _ dense consumer confidence and makes people uncertain about whether to book a _ people uncertain about whether to book a holiday so we need to book a holiday— book a holiday so we need to book a holiday so _ book a holiday so we need to book a holiday so we need that

and shops. a further problem for a travel industry which has suffered for more than 18 months. thank you very much. new research suggests that around two million people in england may have been left with long—lasting symptoms after contracting coronavirus, a condition known as long covid. it comes as the uk recorded the highest number of daily cases since february, as matt graveling reports. with covid cases rising, the message is clear. get your vaccine. more than 16,000 people tested positive for the virus in the latest 2a—hour period, the highest since february. and so the race is on to get adults double jabbed. whilst nhs england say progress is being made, and that more people from ethnic minority backgrounds are now booking theirjabs, there is still work to be done. with a weekend of walk—in appointments being planned to make getting the vaccine easier. it is never too late to come forward and take up your vaccine.

your vaccine has a name on it, it is for you and it is an evergreen offer, so as soon as you feel able, come forward and we will vaccinate you. the current mass testing in scotland could explain the higher number of positive cases there. but in recent days, about two thirds of cases have been from men aged 15 to aa, and it's thought social gatherings to watch euro 2020 could be behind the rise. meanwhile, new figures show that around 2 million people may have suffered from so—called long covid, when people who have contracted the virus experience symptoms weeks and months later. more than half a million people were surveyed by the react—2 study, and researchers say managing the long—term consequences of the virus are a major challenge. we are looking at persistent symptoms, one or more symptoms that lasted at least 12 weeks, at least three months. i think we're seeing the scale of the problem, and actually the nhs is now getting to grips with this, setting up

specific long covid clinics. the survey found long covid was more common in older people but more research is being done, with the government committing £50 million towards the study in the hope of improving the treatments available. matt graveling, bbc news. the american pop star, britney spears, has urged a judge in california to remove her father's control over her personal and financial affairs. jamie spears was granted what's called a conservatorship over his daughter in 2008, after she was hospitalised over concerns for her mental health. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long has the latest. # oh baby, baby # she was one of the biggest stars of the early noughties. britney spears lived, loved and lost in the limelight. but for the last few years, she's been publicly silent about the arrangement her fans have been so vocal about. but via video phone, she finally told a los angeles court her side of the story.

in an impassioned speech, britney spears, clearly angry and upset, said she wanted the abusive and controlling arrangement to end. she said she had been forced to take drugs so strong she felt drunk and unable to hold a conversation. she told the court, "i want my life back". i am truly shocked at what i heard about the conservatorship, i think the reality was even worse than what we suspected. but i think we were also vindicated because a lot of what was suspected turned out to be true. in response, herfather�*s lawyer read a statement on his behalf. it said... it did little to appease the anger towards him and the other conservators outside court. they are really all in in this together, and it's part of a corrupt system that has allowed this to happen in broad daylight for 13 years. she said that she hopes they all go to jail and i hope they do as well.

# you're toxic, i'm slipping under # the star now hopes an end to the arrangement she has found so toxic could soon be in sight. sophie long, news, los angeles. buckingham palace has admitted it "must do more" to increase the diversity of their workforce after publishing for the first time their numbers of ethnic minority staff. the latest annual report into the public funding of the monarchy also showed a 50% reduction in the extra money made from things like paid visits to the palaces. a £10 million shortfall was covered by cutting back on some events like garden parties and by a recruitment freeze. the queen has held herfirst face—to—face audience with borisjohnson since the start of the pandemic in march last year. they met at buckingham palace yesterday, let's have a listen to what was said.

and safeguarding, but would be subject to tighter planning laws, something business leaders worry could hamper rural businesses and stifle economic growth. an area of outstanding natural beauty. we have so many of those here, will we want to get out in them? carroll will tell us, you are framed, like you are taking shelter from the miserable weather we have seen! poor ben is out in the weather in manchester. there is a lot of low cloud around this morning. and also some patchy and heavy rain coming, and this lovely weather watchers picture from anglesey tells this story beautifully, looking through the trees. we have a lot of cloud across many parts of england, we have also got some patchy rain extending from the south—west through wales, up to north—east england, the south—east is dry with sunshine. as we get into

the far north of england, a little bit of brightness, same for southern scotland and northern ireland and north—east scotland. we also have a new weather front coming in introducing heavier and more persistent rain to scotland and northern ireland through the day. as the first front sinks southwards with cloud and patchy rain, it will brighten up for a time across northern england and wales, and then the south—west of england as well. so much so we could have a high of 2a degrees across the north—east of england this afternoon and it will feel quite humid. behind the weather front we will have a northerly wind across scotland and that will be fairly gusty in the north. pollen levels are high today across most of england, low or moderate across the rest of the uk. the first front gets into the south—east this evening, followed in hot pursuit by the second one bringing in the rain, and i had a bit more rain across the north—east of scotland and still a

brisk wind, but it will not be cold. 0vernight lows between nine and 15 degrees. i will have a longer weather forecast looking deeper into the week in half an hour. will you bring any sunshine in the longer forecast? will you bring any sunshine in the longerforecast? ih will you bring any sunshine in the longer forecast?— longer forecast? in scotland and northern ireland, _ longer forecast? in scotland and northern ireland, the _ longer forecast? in scotland and northern ireland, the weekend i longer forecast? in scotland and| northern ireland, the weekend is looking quite nice, i will leave it at that. , ., ., , we're due to find out if more countries will be added to the government's quarantine—free green list of destinations. when we were last saying this it when the other way round, where portugal became more difficult. at the moment, its limited to just 11 countries but it's been suggested that malta and the balearic islands could be added. 0ur correspondent anna holligan is in ibiza this morning. good morning. it looks amazing. first things _ good morning. it looks amazing. first things first, _ good morning. it looks amazing. first things first, look _ good morning. it looks amazing. first things first, look at - good morning. it looks amazing. first things first, look at that, i good morning. it looks amazing. first things first, look at that, it | first things first, look at that, it looks absolutely lovely where you are. ,, ., ., looks absolutely lovely where you

happened the last time. there are still some tourists, germans and portuguese tourists, and what are they waiting for? here, nothing. the brits are welcome on ibiza, the spanish island, theyjust have to show they have been fully vaccinated or have a negative pcr test. then they are allowed through without any quarantine on this side. they can jump quarantine on this side. they can jump straight into the mediterranean. that's not the case across the continent. we have heard from angela merkel, the german chancellor, saying she would like all european countries to standardise their approach to brits in order to stop the delta variant, so prevalent in the uk, from spreading across the continent. so that might put a spanner in the works. what we are waiting for the day is a possible update to the traffic light system, which could potentially allow brits to come here to the balearic islands, and also to malta, adding those to the list. at

the moment in europe, there are 11 countries around the world, in europe it is just iceland and gibraltar on the green list. huge hopes hear that that might be about to change, the announcement is expected later today. we to change, the announcement is expected later today.— to change, the announcement is expected later today. we will leave that wonderful _ expected later today. we will leave that wonderful view, _ expected later today. we will leave that wonderful view, and _ expected later today. we will leave that wonderful view, and you, i expected later today. we will leave | that wonderful view, and you, thank you very much. one of those waiting for today's announcement is marcus livermore, who owns a bar in palma nova, majorca and joins us now. good morning, marcus. good morning. we see those — good morning, marcus. good morning. we see those beautiful— good morning, marcus. good morning. we see those beautiful blue _ good morning, marcus. good morning. we see those beautiful blue skies i we see those beautiful blue skies where you are of course, it is all there waiting possibly for brits who would like to go there. how is business, what's happening with you? business has been a struggle. we haven't seen any british tourists now for coming up to a year. so it has been hard. normally the season would kick off at easter, we haven't seen any of that. at the moment we have a trickle of germans and scandinavians and french coming through, but as for british, they are just not here at the moment. we

are just not here at the moment. we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the british. ., are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the idritish-_ the british. you will understand, marcus, the british. you will understand, marcus. the _ the british. you will understand, marcus, the notion _ the british. you will understand, marcus, the notion of _ the british. you will understand, marcus, the notion of caution, i the british. you will understand, i marcus, the notion of caution, which is the british government's watchword throughout this. when you hear them talk like this, and the decisions made up to the stage we are at, do you understand?- decisions made up to the stage we are at, do you understand? yeah, we understand- — are at, do you understand? yeah, we understand. we _ are at, do you understand? yeah, we understand. we have _ are at, do you understand? yeah, we understand. we have been _ are at, do you understand? yeah, we understand. we have been under- are at, do you understand? yeah, we| understand. we have been under very strict restrictions here in majorca to get to the stage where we are now where we can welcome tourism. i could go on for ages about the restrictions we have had in the bar and how difficult it is. but we understand the caution. we are cautious ourselves. about tourists coming in. so we do understand that. give us a sense, then, marcus, how things are working in practice in the bar, what are the precautions, how different is it from how it would normally be? we how different is it from how it would normally be?— how different is it from how it would normally be? we have gone throuih, would normally be? we have gone through. we _ would normally be? we have gone through, we were _ would normally be? we have gone through, we were not _ would normally be? we have gone through, we were not allowed i would normally be? we have gone through, we were not allowed to l would normally be? we have gone i through, we were not allowed to have any terrace space, we could only serve drinks as takeaway and that

has slowly eased, then 50% terrace, then 100% terrace, nobody inside, facemasks, to hand wash, no smoking on the terrace, restricted opening hours. but slowly over the months they have is a little bit. so practically, we are opening up as normalfor a cafe and bar. we have a nightclub which we can still not use which has to be closed. restrictions are in place and it is up to us at the bar owners to enforce those restrictions which has been difficult sometimes with some of the customers. 0bviously, when you are serving alcohol, they tend not to listen to what they have been told. there is a personal note to this i understand, is it your mother who is hoping to come out and visit you? that's right, yes. she's hopefully coming out in the next two weeks so she's really excited. it's my 50th birthday in a few weeks so there a big family coming out, that will be

beautiful grounds of rhs wisley. it looks stunning, we have had the gorgeous views from above as well. thank you so much for showing us around. and you get the sunshine which is a bonus. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. oxygen supplies are at risk of not getting to patients in hospital because of problems with how it is piped around wards, according to a safety watchdog. during the winter covid pandemic, one london hospital trust declared a major incident with supply. and a new report published today says that "excessive" demands on oxygen delivery systems led to a "major disruption". it recommends a number of improvements, including making sure each hospital trust has a dedicated unit which can plan oxygen delivery. the prince of wales has been presented with an award for his community work. charles received the council of christian and jews' bridge award at spencer house in central london. he said building bridges between faith communities has played

a vital role across the world during the pandemic. a new cruise line is launching from tilbury port from next year. the first ship will sail from spring and itineraries include iceland, the canary islands and the caribbean. it's hoped that the launch by ambassador cruise line will create morejob opportunities in the area. the world's first centre dedicated to discovering more about the science of gardening opens today. the £35m gardening science centre opens at rhs wisley in surrey. academics and researchers will try and find out how gardens and plants can improve the environment and combat climate change. i think in relation to protecting our gardens from new pests and diseases, such as things like xylella, to putting choices of plants that people can choose that perhaps use less water or do capture more pollution and more carbon. and the way that we garden i think,

the information and science we learn, we want to share that so that people can get inspired to grow and to be more connected with nature. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from london overground which is part supended between kilburn high road and euston because of power supply problems. on the roads, the blackwall tunnel has the usual queues northbound from woolwich road. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a rather chilly start to the day again for this time of year across the capital, temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night. but there's lots of early sunshine, we keep that blue sky and sunshine as we head through the morning. and then into the afternoon, it's set to turn cloudier, there is a weather front heading our wayjust pushing down from the north—west, so distinctly cloudy as we head towards the end of the day but it will stay dry. and it's bringing with it some ratherwarm, humid air so temperatures around 20 to 21 celsius.

and the winds are light. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, it won't be as cold as it was last night, temperatures will stay in double figures. the air still feeling rather muggy, they could be some showers as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. and then on friday, watch out for some more showers, there will also be some sunny spells around. and it stays rather warm, quite muggy feeling, cooler again by the time we get to saturday again with the chance of some showers over the weekend. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the government has denied claims by the kremlin that russian vessels fired warning shots near a british warship sailing in the black sea. the mod says the royal navy destroyer was sailing in an internationally recognised shipping lane within the i2—mile limit

of crimea s territorial waters. the only broadcast journalist on board hms defender is the bbc�*s defence correspondentjonathan beale, warnings from russia as defender�*s crew prepared for a possible confrontation. beeping hands to action stations. this is not a drill. take your seats straightaway. a british warship in the black sea about to make a point to russia. hms defender has just left the port of odessa, and as you can see, just over there, we are already being shadowed by a russian warship. as we get close to crimea, the tension rises. hms defender is going to sail within what russia now claims is its territorial waters. as hms defender comes within 12 miles of the coast,

the russian coastguard make a dangerous move. this russian coast guard vessel has come up right close to this british warship and is trying now to force it to change course. nothing on the bridge. radio: if you do not change the course, i will follow. - —— i will fire. you have been warned. the crew donned protective warning in case that threat is followed through. shots are fired but they are well out of range. aircraft picture, green one, tracking right, altitude low. throughout the transit, hms defender detects at least 20 russian military aircraft nearby. some far too close for comfort.

the russian defence ministry released their own footage of their jets flying overhead, including imagery of what appears to be the british destroyer in their sites. remember, this is notjust about military brinksmanship, it's also about who can win the information war. jonathan beale, bbc news, on board hms defender. we'rejoined now by former nato commander and royal navy rear admiral chris parry. the good morning to you. i wonder first of all, with your expertise and your knowledge, when you saw that report broadcast last night on the bbc, in real—time, showing what happened, what do you make of that? i think back to the days of the cold war. used to do this on a regular basis with soviet warships every element of this demonstrates the huffing and puffing that used to take place whenever we used to go

any part of russian territory or that of their allies or were in contact with their ships, so frankly this is an old play that russia has brought up—to—date and asjonathan beale mentioned, has put into the information space. there is a lot of huffing and puffing and bully boy tactics, but we recognise these. attention has been drawn to the kind of discrepancy between the mod official statement and what was witnessed by the cameras and by journalists. how do you marry up those two statements, what we saw and what the ministry of defence is saying? taste and what the ministry of defence is sa in: ? ~ . and what the ministry of defence is sa in: ? . . ., and what the ministry of defence is sa in? ~ . .,, , and what the ministry of defence is sa in? . saying? we have to be very careful what the russians _ saying? we have to be very careful what the russians want _ saying? we have to be very careful what the russians want us - saying? we have to be very careful what the russians want us to - saying? we have to be very careful what the russians want us to see. | what the russians want us to see. what they are doing is relied in the two separate incidents. they had some exercises going on with their warships doing live firing exercises in the distance and we saw some of their coast guard vessels trying to write off hms defender. hms defender was simply going about our business, conducting innocent passage, not in

international waters but in either ukrainian or russian waters but in fact it is irrelevant whether they were ukrainian, russian or even martian waters, any ship in the world is allowed to conduct innocent passage and that is what hms defender was doing. the russians simply don't like is in the northern black sea close to one of their main naval bases and they don't like is there supporting our allies both from nato and in georgia on the other side. they don't like the very large footprint that the royal navy is putting on the eastern mediterranean and the black sea right now. if you think about it, we have our carrier in the eastern mediterranean conducting strikes against islamic state in syria, hms kent in athens supporting british industry, and we have hms defender and other ships in the black sea supporting our allies. if you like, they are jealous and they really don't like this and its real political power play. it don't like this and its real political power play.- don't like this and its real political power play. it is clearly the case, political power play. it is clearly the case. and — political power play. it is clearly the case, and maybe _ political power play. it is clearly the case, and maybe this - political power play. it is clearly the case, and maybe this is - political power play. it is clearly i

the case, and maybe this is stating the case, and maybe this is stating the obvious, that hms defender could have gone further south. it did not have gone further south. it did not have to go on that particular path. that's the case, isn't it?— that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is, but that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is. but she _ that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is, but she was _ that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is, but she was in _ that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is, but she was in a _ that's the case, isn't it? yes, it is, but she was in a traffic - is, but she was in a traffic separation scheme which is a legal scheme you have to undertake if you are passing to the south of crimea, but there is a more important point here. russia is trying to determine where it is that british warships go in the black sea. and if russia gets away with that, she will start stopping other ships going where they need to and want to, and if russia gets away with that, china is going to do the same. i think we know china right now is trying to close down the whole of the south and east china sea for free use and freedom of navigation. it sets a very bad example. i will give you an example from the united kingdom. everybody knows that if a footpath is not walked for a year and a day, the landowner has the right to apply to have that footpath shut down.

well, it is the same at sea. if you don't demonstrate presence and go on the ground and say we have every right to be here, as has any other ship, then the landowner, the adjacent state, tends to try and extend itsjurisdiction adjacent state, tends to try and extend its jurisdiction and say, adjacent state, tends to try and extend itsjurisdiction and say, in future, i will determine who sails here, not you. it’s future, i will determine who sails here. not yon-— future, i will determine who sails here, not you. it's interesting you ut it like here, not you. it's interesting you put it like that. _ here, not you. it's interesting you put it like that. bringing - here, not you. it's interesting you put it like that. bringing back- here, not you. it's interesting you put it like that. bringing back to l put it like that. bringing back to your first answer, used the words huffing and puffing, the sensibilities around this, but some people looking at this will think and will know from other circumstances and may from the movies that a little incident, a moment in time, a confrontation between two ships in an ocean a long way away can be the catalyst for something different. and people will watch that sequence of events and think, what if one of those people on one of those ships had done something differently, and they might worry about that. yes. something differently, and they might worry about that. yes, it's interesting- _ might worry about that. yes, it's interesting. from _ might worry about that. yes, it's interesting. from my— might worry about that. yes, it's interesting. from my own - might worry about that. yes, it's - interesting. from my own experience

those of us at sea know the rules here, and it's like a stately dance. you understand what moves your partner will make and as long as you don't see something unpredictable or unforeseen, you play along with the game and you know what they will say on the radio and you know what you will say back and you know the legal framework and the rules of engagement and so do the other side, to tell you the truth. it's a very complicated play act on both sides to make sure we understand each other, and those of us who go to sea have seen this before. the russians yesterday would have understood that, but there are complexities here. asjonathan reported, there were 20 aircraft in the air. hms defender is well capable of looking after that and some of those aircraft would have been going about their normal business. i think only three orfour came close their normal business. i think only three or four came close to hms defender, and i am an aviator and during the cold war were used to run down the side of russian warships at speed, tilt over and say good morning, comrades. it's all part of the fun and games that happen in

this really complicated interface between great power conflict. ichris between great power conflict. chris par , between great power conflict. chris parry. really _ between great power conflict. chris parry, really interesting _ between great power conflict. chris parry, really interesting to hear your take and using some of your insight. thank you for your time this morning. i know it's not the point and it's very serious and it is fascinating what is going on but when he was talking about running down the side of the ships and saying hello, comrades, that made me really excited about the new top gun film coming out. i know what mike is excited about. good morning. what a night it was, the final group phase matches and the permutations for the last 16 kept changing but in the end sweden, spain, germany, portugal, france and ukraine sneak through to the knockout phase. the final line up for the last 16 means england and wales could meet each other in the semi finals, if they get that far, but first wales must deal with denmark, while england face germany again, a fixture that throws up so many memories. england last met germany

at a major tournment in the 2010 world cup. the germans won 4—1, but it could have been a different story had frank lampard's goal not been wrongly disallowed. the officials didn't think it had crossed the line. if only they'd had var then. the england goalkeeper that day was david james, and hejoins us now. great to see you, and thanks for coming on, and in your luckyjacket and what a jacket that is. we will talk more about that later. take us back to that day in south africa, 2010, may be a sense of injustice and a chance to make amends. goad and a chance to make amends. good mornin: and a chance to make amends. good morning and — and a chance to make amends. good morning and thanks _ and a chance to make amends. good morning and thanks for _ and a chance to make amends. (13cm morning and thanks for bringing that up. i'm so glad i woke up so early for you to remind me of that straightaway. it actually might be a better memory than the last time we met at the dance studio. but anyway. 2010, that was a horrible day for england, a horrible day for many different reasons, obviously because germany went through but because of

frank and if it had not been for that goal that was not given then we wouldn't have had the video assistant referee now and all the fun and joy it brings to football but it was not england's wine estate. other memories is euro 2000 when england won in a group match in the group stages, alan shearer with a goal, but it's wembley again, in the euros, and gareth southgate now the euros, and gareth southgate now the manager saw his penalty saved in the manager saw his penalty saved in the semifinal shoot—out that sent england out. what an emotional thing this must be now for gareth especially. i this must be now for gareth especially-— this must be now for gareth eseciall . ,, . . . , especially. i think all the managers involved in this _ especially. i think all the managers involved in this tournament, - especially. i think all the managers involved in this tournament, and i l involved in this tournament, and i think gareth is probably the most level—headed, so i don't think he will be drawing anything from 1996 and the wonderful thing about this fixture is the amount of history, and you mention alan shearer�*s goal in 2000, but at the same time the scotland game had loads of history and it did not pan out the way it did before, so that suggests it

won't pan out the way it did last time, so i'm confident england will have a good result. what makes it so special to play in it? is there a tingle down the spine because of the history or as a player, what does it feel like? in history or as a player, what does it feel like? if :: history or as a player, what does it feel like? ::' :: , ., , . , feel like? in 2010 the problem was the germany _ feel like? in 2010 the problem was the germany squad _ feel like? in 2010 the problem was the germany squad we _ feel like? in 2010 the problem was the germany squad we played - feel like? in 2010 the problem was the germany squad we played that| feel like? in 2010 the problem was - the germany squad we played that day were very young, similar to the england squad and i think half the england squad and i think half the england squad and i think half the england squad weren't even alive in 1996, so we did not know what we were coming up against in context and we even play them in a friendly and we even play them in a friendly and beat them 2—0 in berlin and that was a different side to the confidence thing and that germany side went on to win 4—1 and then became world champions not long after, so you just have to play the game and as a fan, you want to see the most exciting game, goals, thrills, spills, but as a player, you just want to get through to the next round and you talk about wales as a potential opponent in the semifinals, it'sjust

as a potential opponent in the semifinals, it's just about getting through to the quarterfinals. it doesn't matter what it looks like, a boring 1—0 win in 90 minutes, that will do, thank you very much. i was will do, thank you very much. i was auoin to will do, thank you very much. i was going to mention _ will do, thank you very much. i was going to mention strictly _ will do, thank you very much. i was going to mention strictly as - will do, thank you very much. i was going to mention strictly as i - will do, thank you very much. i was going to mention strictly as i saw how impressive your hands were, and your feet during strictly but she wants to see your hands because she wants to see your hands because she wants to see how big they are and how important it is for a keeper. who has got the biggest answers? i loved your comment at the beginning which made me laugh. i am genuinely interested. how important is it that goalkeepers have extraordinarily big hands, and who has the biggest hands in terms of goalkeepers in this competition, in the euros? what in terms of goalkeepers in this competition, in the euros? what a aood competition, in the euros? what a good question- — competition, in the euros? what a good question. how _ competition, in the euros? what a good question. how important - competition, in the euros? what a good question. how important is l competition, in the euros? what a i good question. how important is it? the game has changed. if you go back to 1996 it was all about catching the ball where is now for some reason goalkeepers don't catch it so often, so the size of the hands on that important but having said that, rui patricio made a save yesterday and if his hands had been a size smaller, then portugal would be on

their way home. so perhaps the size does matter in that context. probably core to our —— the vocal to our, he has public got the exams —— courtois. is our, he has public got the exams -- courtois. . our, he has public got the exams -- courtois. , ., courtois. is the ball on the mantelpiece _ courtois. is the ball on the mantelpiece significant? it courtois. is the ball on the i mantelpiece significant? it is courtois. is the ball on the - mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball, mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball. or— mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball, or one _ mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball, or one of _ mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball, or one of them, - mantelpiece significant? it is the euro ball, or one of them, and i | mantelpiece significant? it is the . euro ball, or one of them, and i was sent it by uefa, so i think it is a real one and this is the one from wembley, the fan. i did a thing with the england team a few weeks ago and i had to get a jacket, so i went into a shop, bought a jacket, and this is my lucky england jacket, so i am surrounded by all england stuff. . ., �* , i am surrounded by all england stuff. . , stuff. that won't be coming off until tuesday _ stuff. that won't be coming off until tuesday then. _ stuff. that won't be coming off until tuesday then. every - stuff. that won't be coming off until tuesday then. every time j until tuesday then. every time an one until tuesday then. every time anyone else — until tuesday then. every time anyone else sees _ until tuesday then. every time anyone else sees me, - until tuesday then. every time anyone else sees me, i - until tuesday then. every time anyone else sees me, i will. until tuesday then. every time anyone else sees me, i will bej anyone else sees me, i will be wearing this jacket. it's a bit like a dancing jacket, mike. as long as

england do better than i did in strictly, we will be all right. i strictly, we will be all right. i will never forget your batman dance. great to see you, thanks so much. keep wearing yourjacket for england fans. i recommend goalkeepers meet at a party they all secretly look at each other�*s hands. size at a party they all secretly look at each other's hands.— each other's hands. size 13 feet, the spanish _ each other's hands. size 13 feet, the spanish player, _ each other's hands. size 13 feet, the spanish player, alas - each other's hands. size 13 feet, the spanish player, alas about. | see you later on. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a nice long pier there, but it looks slippery. it is lovely. the weather in brighton this morning is rather nice as you can see from the blue skies and of course it is brighton and hove, taken in hove by one of the weather watchers but it isn't like this everywhere as we have a lot of cloud, some low cloud, murky conditions as well across other parts of the country and this one is

whitley bay in north tyneside and although it is cloudy now, it will brighten up later on and north—east england could be one of the places that sees the highest temperatures inland today, so ahead of the weather front we have the sunshine and this is the weather from and all of the low cloud, mist and merck associated with it and behind it is associated with it and behind it is a more persistent band of rain coming our way courtesy of another weather front across scotland and northern ireland and through the course of the day that is slowly going to slip southwards. in between is where we see the brighter skies across northern england and also through parts of wales and the south—west as our first front continues its journey down to the south—east. it will still be bright with sunny skies but temperatures in the south around 20 or 21 and in the north between 11 and 21 but as i mentioned, some places in north—east england could hit 24. the pollen levels are high today across england and low and moderate across the rest of the uk and as we head into the evening and overnight we can see how the weather front continues into the south—east with patchy rain and we

also have this next weather front coming down behind it. watch how it curls around with more rain coming into the north—east of scotland, gusty winds as well but it's not going to be a cold night. tomorrow we have the rain continuing to edge into the south—eastern corner weakening as it does, so moving into the north of scotland and following it as we come south across the day into northern england, brighter skies towards the west but we could still see a few thundery showers with parts of north—west england and also through parts of the wasting —— west of england and wales but note the difference in temperature with a northerly wind so instead of being 24 in newcastle and humid, it's more likely to be 13, so a big drop in temperatures tomorrow. thanks, carol. a man from bristol is recovering after having coronavirus for nearly 300 days — longer than anyone else recorded anywhere in the world. dave smith, who is 72, had to have a special anti—body treatment

to tackle the virus — which had been active inside him and causing symptoms for almost a whole year. jon kay has been to meet him. alright? yeah. feeling a bit out of breath. nearly ay my limit. we'll be all right. keep on. keep on, that is dave smith's motto. most people with covid have iit in their bodies for ten days, but he had it for nearly 300. a new medical person opens up my file and they say, you've had all this? one person has had all this and they say, "here comes the miracle man." dave is 72, a driving instructor by day. and musician by night. it was last march that he caught covid. i had a terrible cough. at one time i coughed for five hours nonstop. i don't mean cough, break, cough, i mean cough,

cough, cough, nonstop. you can imagine the drain that puts on your body. he was especially vulnerable to covid because his immune system had already been weakened by leukaemia and chemotherapy. for ten months, hejust couldn't beat the virus. how many times did you test positive? i counted them. 43 times. and each one positive. a week later, positive. and positive. will this never end? i am praying all the time thinking, the next one is going to be negative, but it never was. i lost ten stone. what? i lost ten stone. ten stone? i went from a size 44 trousers, i went down to nearly 28. i looked in the mirror and i thought, who's that old man in the mirror? oh, it's me. it's like someone had pulled the plug and everything in your life isjust drained out of your body.

it's all gone. so what was it like? positive, positive, positive, positive. what effect did it have on you? i had resigned myself. i called the family and, made my peace with everybody, said goodbye, made out a list of the music i wanted played at my funeral. did you say your goodbyes to him at any point? did you think this is it? yes, yes. there was a lot of times where we didn't think he was going to pull through. yeah, it's been a hell of a year. a nightmare. dave was in and out of southmead hospital in bristol seven times. so it wasn't just that you were treating him for the effect of covid, he actually had covid inside him for all of that time. yes, so he had active virus in his body and we were able to prove

that when we became suspicious by sending a sample of his virus to university partners who manage to grow it, proving it was notjust left over products that were triggering a pcr test, but active, viable virus. running out of options, doctors apply to use a cocktail of antiviral drugs made by the american company regeneron. their bid was accepted on compassionate grounds. after two weeks of treatment, dave started to improve and then finally, a call. "you are negative." couldn't believe it. we had a bottle of champagne that had been around since god knows when, so we popped it open. and we don't even drink. he just wanted to go out and run up and down the street, shouting and singing. it was like you'd been given your life back. can you be sure that the cocktail of drugs is what made him better and cleared the covid? there's a slim chance that he was about to get better on his own and it's a coincidence, and the only way you can ever prove this

is in a proper trial, and this is very much a patient's story, an anecdote, but it's quite compelling and that he had been unwell for ten months or more and then had a recovery associated with being given this agent. scientists at bristol university are now studying dave's case to find out how covid can change and may be mutated in one person. where does the virus i hide away in the body? how can it just stayed persistently infecting i people? we don't know that. he says he is a miracle man. is he a miracle man? yes, i suppose he is. for years, dave has been a tv extra in the bbc show casualty. now he is the leading man in his own real—life medical drama. the longest recorded case of covid in the world. does that make me a star? i think i should have a badge or something, or a scroll or something. i don't know. so positive about being negative.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the latest rules on foreign travel will be set out today, with industry bosses calling for an expansion to england's green list. last time the list was removed, portugal was removed, causing travel chaos for thousands. the industry says restrictions need to be lifted now to save the summer getaway. forced to give up their babies for adoption in their youth, thousands of women now ask for a formal apology from the scottish government. he was actually taken from my arms

without telling me what was happening. the pop star britney spears says she wants her life back, as she appeals for control of her business and personal affairs. here we go again. england get ready to face germany at wembley in the euros, after the germans left it late to earn a draw against hungary that sends them through on a night of twists and turns. good morning. some of us will see some sunshine today but for most it is going to be fairly cloudy with some rain. the heaviest will be across scotland and northern ireland. all of the details later in the programme. it's thursday 24th june. our top story. the travel industry is urging the government to add more countries to the list of destinations that don't require people to quarantine when they return. the "green list" for england is set to be updated today. there's been some speculation that malta could be added, along with the spanish islands ibiza, majorca and minorca. here's our transport correspondent caroline davies.

save travel! the travel industry is frustrated and nervous. protesting yesterday around the country, the people whose jobs rely on international travel reopening. they want more countries on the green list and more financial support from the government. we don't want to be sitting idle, we want to be back at work, taking people on holiday or to see their loved ones overseas so it's hugely frustrating for us. when i'm bringing seven people back from ibiza, that's just not sustainable. you know, for anybody. so something has to change and quickly. we need customers to be able to survive, so manyjobs- are at risk, thousandsi and thousands ofjobs. the westminster government is expected to announce the latest green list for england later today. scotland, wales and northern ireland have previously adopted the same list. green means that arrivals to the uk don't need to quarantine, although they do need to take a test before and after they travel. amber means that arrivals must quarantine at home and red means quarantine at a hotel.

in the last week, some government ministers have suggested that it might be possible to remove quarantine for fully vaccinated passengers from amber list countries. that would make a big difference to rachel, who lives in switzerland and has had both jabs. her stepfather is ill in hospital and her 81—year—old mum had covid over christmas. it would make such a big difference if we could get over to see my mum, just to give her a big hug because she's gone through so much. and, yeah, it's been a really difficult time. there might be news on whether and when fully vaccinated travellers might be able to do this later today as well, but there are no guarantees about this or whether there will be any more countries on the green list. look, i'd love to have the whole world opened up but we all have to accept there are places that we can't go. the red list countries for example. but we have also said that if you have been double vaccinated, then of course we need to look at what the science said, we said in the global travel taskforce report, which set out our approach to international travel. and we have said that monday

is the point to review that data. so we are coming up to having a look at that. after a day of protest, today the industry has to wait and see what the government decides. caroline davies, bbc news. new research suggests that around two million people in england may have been left with long—lasting symptoms after contracting coronavirus, a condition known as long covid. it comes as the uk recorded the highest number of daily cases since february, as matt graveling reports. with covid cases rising, the message is clear. get your vaccine. more than 16,000 people tested positive for the virus in the latest 24—hour period, the highest since february. and so the race is on to get adults double jabbed. whilst nhs england say progress is being made, and that more people from ethnic minority backgrounds are now booking theirjabs,

there is still work to be done. with a weekend of walk—in appointments being planned to make getting the vaccine easier. it is never too late to come forward and take up your vaccine. your vaccine has a name on it, it is for you and it is an evergreen offer, so as soon as you feel able, come forward and we will vaccinate you. the current mass testing in scotland could explain the higher number of positive cases there. but in recent days, about two thirds of cases have been from men aged 15 to 44, and it's thought social gatherings to watch euro 2020 could be behind the rise. meanwhile, new figures show that around 2 million people may have suffered from so—called long covid, when people who have contracted the virus experience symptoms weeks and months later. more than half a million people were surveyed by the react—2 study, and researchers say managing the long—term consequences of the virus are a major challenge. we are looking at persistent symptoms, one or more symptoms that

lasted at least 12 weeks, at least three months. i think we're seeing the scale of the problem, and actually the nhs is now getting to grips with this, setting up specific long covid clinics. the survey found long covid was more common in older people but more research is being done, with the government committing £50 million towards the study in the hope of improving the treatments available. matt graveling, bbc news. the american pop star, britney spears, has urged a judge in california to remove her father's control over her personal and financial affairs. jamie spears was granted what's called a conservatorship over his daughter in 2008, after she was hospitalised over concerns for her mental health. our los angeles correspondent sophie long has the latest. # oh baby, baby # she was one of the biggest stars of the early noughties. britney spears lived, loved and lost in the limelight. but for the last few years,

she's been publicly silent about the arrangement her fans have been so vocal about. but via video phone, she finally told a los angeles court her side of the story. in an impassioned speech, britney spears, clearly angry and upset, said she wanted the abusive and controlling arrangement to end. she said she had been forced to take drugs so strong she felt drunk and unable to hold a conversation. she told the court, "i want my life back". i am truly shocked at what i heard about the conservatorship, i think the reality was even worse than what we suspected. but i think we were also vindicated because a lot of what was suspected turned out to be true. in response, herfather�*s lawyer read a statement on his behalf. it said... it did little to appease the anger towards him and the other conservators outside court. they are really all in on this together, and it's part of a corrupt

system that has allowed this to happen in broad daylight for 13 years. she said that she hopes they all go to jail and i hope they do as well. # you're toxic, i'm slipping under # the star now hopes an end to the arrangement she has found so toxic could soon be in sight. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. buckingham palace has admitted it "must do more" to increase the diversity of their workforce after publishing for the first time their numbers of ethnic minority staff. the latest annual report into the public funding of the monarchy also showed a 50% reduction in the extra money made from things like paid visits to the palaces. a £10 million shortfall was covered by cutting back on some events like garden parties and by a recruitment freeze. the queen has held herfirst face—to—face audience with borisjohnson since the start of the pandemic in march last year. they met at buckingham palace yesterday, let's have a listen to what was said.

it isn't just because it isn'tjust because it is rare, that you hear this kind of interactions, indeed the queen speaking at all, obviously the nature of what they were talking about has a fascination about it but as everyone knows, what happens next is the cameras are taken away, no one here is what they say, it is one of those places which is completely

secluded. i of those places which is completely secluded. . ,, , secluded. i imagine with the queens experience. — secluded. i imagine with the queens experience, everyone _ secluded. i imagine with the queens experience, everyone is _ secluded. i imagine with the queens experience, everyone is interested l experience, everyone is interested in what she would have to say. someone that we always listen to is carol, good morning! i thought someone else had walked into the room? did you? i will walk out while you do your forecast. i am listening intently, i out while you do your forecast. i am listening intently, lam out while you do your forecast. i am listening intently, i am only joking! listening intently, i am only “okinu! �* ,, listening intently, i am only 'okin~!�* ,, , ., joking! bless you! this morning it is uuite a joking! bless you! this morning it is quite a murky _ joking! bless you! this morning it is quite a murky start _ joking! bless you! this morning it is quite a murky start for- joking! bless you! this morning it is quite a murky start for many i is quite a murky start for many parts of the country, this is a weather watch is picture from north tyneside. there is a lot of cloud here but we expect this cloud to push south and then north—east england will probably be the warmest part of the uk today. you can see on the radar picture, we have some patchy rain, murky conditions across england and wales and then heavier rain coming in across northern ireland and scotland. ahead of the band of rain there is some sunshine but through the day, some cloud will come our way in the south—east, as

the front six south and it will brighten up behind it. at the same time, we will have the rain moving across scotland, behind the main band, which will pull in a gusty northerly wind. that rain eradicating the sunny start in parts of northern ireland, it is getting into the borders of the far north of england and then we have sunshine south of that. or cloud and patchy rain in the south—east which will continue to come in overnight. another band of rain moves southwards across england and wales. watch how it curls around, it is a weather front which comes back in across north—east scotland, bringing more rain here as well. gusty, brisk winds through the night but not a cold night. as we follow this front to the day, it sinks south across north—east scotland into north—east england and we will have some patchy rain in the south—east so western areas will see the best of the sunshine but even so, we could see some sharp thundery showers in parts

of wales, west of england and north—west. there will be a big drop in temperature, it could be down to 13 tomorrow. i will test you later to see if you are listening! i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful — i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful but _ i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful but i _ i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful but i like _ i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful but i like you. - i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you are awful but i like you. oh, i i wasn't. i wasn't interested. you. are awful but i like you. oh, boom boom! see — are awful but i like you. oh, boom boom! see you — are awful but i like you. oh, boom boom! see you later, _ are awful but i like you. oh, boom boom! see you later, carol. i last month on breakfast, we reported on the thousands of unmarried women in england who were forced to give up their babies for adoption in the 19505, �*605 and �*705. tens of thousands of women in scotland also went through the same trauma. now they want a formal apology from the scottish government and today some will meet the children's minister. our correspondent duncan kennedy has been speaking to two mothers about their experience. so, here we are, this is it. elspeth ross was unmarried when she became pregnant in 1962. feels really weird, really weird.

the shame was so great, she was sent in secret to this house in glasgow, then a church run mother and baby home. it's where she gave birth. this is the first time she's been back inside in 59 years. so strange, walking in here after all these years. it's now flats, but she goes straight to the room where she last saw her baby. this is the last place i saw my son. it's a moment she yearns for the past. just turn the clock back. when you see this room, what does it mean to you? oh, it's horrible, just horrible. sort of saved this up for years.

this was the last place you saw your baby? in that room. elspeth wouldn't see her son again for 35 years. did you give up your baby? no, he was taken, he was actually taken from my arms without telling me what was happening. there are no official figures for how many unmarried women were forced to give up their babies for adoption in scotland in the three decades after the second world war. the pressure on them came from theirfamilies, churches, doctors, nurses and social workers. these are some of the birth mothers in england who were also pressured to give up their babies for adoption. i was 18. i don't think i wanted to believe i was pregnant for a long time. it was 1967, and judy baker recalls

the shame she was made to feel. she is still haunted by the day she had to give up her baby. how could that have happened to me? but my mum was waiting for me downstairs. and we went shopping. we went shopping. i loved her so much, i still love her. i'm her mum. the birth mothers wrote to borisjohnson last month, asking him to issue a government apology for historical forced adoptions, because of the role played by nhs staff and social workers. i feel deep sadness that in the past, women were forced to give their children up for adoption. in scotland, nicola sturgeon says she will now consider an apology.

and today birth mothers will meet the scottish children's minister to discuss the idea. do you think it's time someone, the government, should say sorry? yes, i do, i do. it's, ijust never really had a life, to be honest. i just went through the motions. there is a big hole in it? a great big hole in it, mm—hmm. that was elspeth ross ending that report from duncan kennedy. we're joined now by duncan. i wonder if you can reflect full a moment, anyone watching that this morning, it stops you in your tracks hearing those stories. you going back into that place with elspeth, where she gave birth, these stories are genuinely shocking. the emotions are genuinely shocking. the emotions are still very raw. fatten;r are genuinely shocking. the emotions are still very raw.— are still very raw. very much so. it was 59 years _ are still very raw. very much so. it

was 59 years ago. _ are still very raw. very much so. it was 59 years ago, she _ are still very raw. very much so. it was 59 years ago, she was - are still very raw. very much so. it was 59 years ago, she wasjust i are still very raw. very much so. it was 59 years ago, she wasjust16| was 59 years ago, she was just 16 years old. she had seen the outside of the building before, because she still lives in the broad glasgow area but she had never been back inside. she tries to put all of this out of her memory, she has lived a life with this hole, she referred to it there, this child that she gave up it there, this child that she gave up at birth, forced to give up at birth. she has lived a life that has not been a real life, not a proper life, a full life that she would put it. and to go back inside reconnect with that day when she was summoned to the matron's room, told to leave her baby in that room that we were standing outside, go to the matron because �*s man to be told, pack your bags, get on the —— go to the matron's room and told, pack your bags, get on a bus and leave without your baby. she was so intimidated she felt but had no choice than to just walk away. it would be another 35 years before she was reunited with her son, and that relationship

is now going well. she's one of thousands of women in scotland, and thousands of women in scotland, and thousands of women in scotland, and thousands of women in who went through this, at the hands of social workers, doctors, nurses, families, church run groups. they all piled the pressure on them because of the shame of having babies out of wedlock in that day, to give their may be up for adoption. they say it wasn't theirfault. —— give may be up for adoption. they say it wasn't their fault. —— give their baby suffered adoption. they say they were put under enormous pressure and coerced, and because there were state influence on this, nhs and social workers, it is now time for the governments of scotland and united kingdom to say sorry to these women. i and united kingdom to say sorry to these women-— these women. i think you have surmised _ these women. i think you have surmised it _ these women. i think you have surmised it very _ these women. i think you have surmised it very carefully i these women. i think you have surmised it very carefully and . surmised it very carefully and thoughtfully when you talk about grief, the grief of that, the loss, but also the year is shrouded in shame. jeannot farmer, whose baby was put up

launching from tilbury port from next year. the first ship will sail from spring and itineraries include iceland, the canary islands and the caribbean. it's hoped that the launch by ambassador cruise line will create morejob opportunities in the area. the world's first centre dedicated to discovering more about the science of gardening opens today. the £35m gardening science centre opens at rhs wisley in surrey. academics and researchers will try and find out how gardens and plants can improve the environment and combat climate change. i think in relation to protecting our gardens from new pests and diseases, such as things like xylella, to putting choices of plants that people can choose that perhaps use less water or do capture more pollution and more carbon. and the way that we garden i think, the information and science we learn, we want to share that so that people can get inspired to grow and to be more

connected with nature. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from london overground which is part supended from kilburn high road and euston because of power supply problems. on the roads, the marylebone flyover has the usual queues eastbound heading onto the marylebone road now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a rather chilly start to the day again for this time of year across the capital, temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night. but there's lots of early sunshine, we keep that blue sky and sunshine as we head through the morning. and then into the afternoon, it's set to turn cloudier, there is a weather front heading our wayjust pushing down from the north—west, so distinctly cloudy as we head towards the end of the day but it will stay dry. and it's bringing with it some ratherwarm, humid air so temperatures around 20 to 21 celsius. and the winds are light. now, as we head through this

evening and overnight, it won't be as cold as it was last night, temperatures will stay in double figures. the air still feeling rather muggy, they could be some showers as we head into the start of the day tomorrow. and then on friday, watch out for some more showers, there will also be some sunny spells around. and it stays rather warm, quite muggy feeling, cooler again by the time we get to saturday again with the chance of some showers over the weekend. keep an eye on the forecast. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. kym marsh and gethinjones are in the studio and can tell us what's in store. thanks, both. coming up on morning live today. with quarantine—free holidays to spain and france for those who are double—jabbed becoming a hot topic, dr xand will be giving his verdict on whether we should be packing our passports.

he's also ready to answer your questions, so get sending them in. he has been off for a few weeks, so go hard on him today. also coming up — if you're feeling a bit "bleurgh", you're not alone — one third of us are reported to be just a bit off, a bit sad, or stuck in a rut. mental health champion and ex—rugby pro niall breslin tells us what you can do to go from bleurgh to brilliant. and it's pride month, and the focus is on how far lgbtq+ rights have come but as reverend richard coles discovers, there's more still to be done. he's done a report for us looking into conversion therapy, which tries to change peoples sexuality. and he'll be telling us why a change in the law to ban it is long overdue. also coming up, it's national picnic week, and, come rain or shine, our chef,the lovely anna haugh, is here to save your picnic plans. she'll be rolling out the blankets

time of year it would handle about a passengers per day, just 5000 passed through it yesterday such as the impact of the travel restrictions but you are right. we will get an update as to whether more countries will be added to the so—called green list and let me remind you of the rules as they stand. red and amber list countries are the ones where travel to is advised against. it's not illegal, but please don't go, and if you do, you have to quarantine a home or in a hotel when you get back. the green list, the one we are keeping a close eye on means you can travel there without having to quarantine but you will still need to have a test and that can add a lot of money to the price of your holiday, a test before and after, so it's worth bearing in mind. and remember, till the last review three weeks ago, portugal was the only country on the list that allowed quarantine free travel and was taken off the list in the last review three weeks ago so there's a

lot of expectation about what could happen today on whether other countries will be added and some talk of malta or some of the islands in spain, for example. so what could we expect? let's get the thoughts of simon, ourtravel we expect? let's get the thoughts of simon, our travel expert. what are we expecting today? will any more countries he added to the green list? j countries be added to the green list? ~ , countries be added to the green list? ~' , ., ., list? i think they will have to because all _ list? i think they will have to because all of _ list? i think they will have to because all of the _ list? i think they will have to because all of the evidence i list? i think they will have to | because all of the evidence is list? i think they will have to - because all of the evidence is that the infection rate in the uk are so hi-h the infection rate in the uk are so high that— the infection rate in the uk are so high that you and i would be safer and less— high that you and i would be safer and less likely to get an infection on a beach— and less likely to get an infection on a beach in greece, spain, italy or france — on a beach in greece, spain, italy or france than we would in the uk. but the _ or france than we would in the uk. but the government doesn't quite do things— but the government doesn't quite do things like _ but the government doesn't quite do things like that. they are looking at the _ things like that. they are looking at the case rates and also looking at the case rates and also looking at the _ at the case rates and also looking at the variance of concern and the vaccination — at the variance of concern and the vaccination rate and genomics sequencing capabilities, and put all that together, i cannot see any reason — that together, i cannot see any reason why malta would not be added to the _ reason why malta would not be added to the green list today. that will have _ to the green list today. that will have an — to the green list today. that will have an interesting effect, because a lot of— have an interesting effect, because a lot of people in the uae, in qatar. —

and cristiano ronaldo coming to wembley, then it was going to be hungry, and then of course it ended up hungry, and then of course it ended up being, who else, but germany? what a final round of matches it was to complete the euro 2020 group stage and finalise the line up for the knock out phase. it was a night when spain showed how good they can be, while portugal and germany were both on the brink of going out before scraping through. germany setting up a repeat of euro 96 against england at wembley. here's ben croucher. england versus germany. well, itjust had to he, didn't it? for most of last night, it actually wasn't. in the munich monsoon, hungary reigned supreme until the 84th minute. germany were heading out. he knew it, until... goretzka! with what could be a golden goal. a goal to book that wembley showdown next tuesday. it will be an absolute clash, because i think if you go through player by player, team by team, this is a 50—50 situation and it could end up again in a penalty shoot out.

if it's penalties you were after, budapest was the city. france versus portugal had plenty of punch and a hugo lloris elbow and you know who. cristiano ronaldo. 1—0 portugal. karim benzema equalised with a penalty of his own before doubling the lead and sending portugal out, as it stood. if you couldn't quite keep count, jules kounde offered a helping hand, inside the box, that was just one outcome with ronaldo on target for a record equalling 109th time in international football. in the end, they both made it through. a crazy night saw the group of death bring this tournament to life. earlier, spain also qualified helped by a moment martin dubravka won't want to see again. not that it will stop us showing you. totally bizarre. manchester city's ferran torres was in the goals in the 5—0 thrashing of slovakia that was taking spain through as group e winners until victor claesson's 93rd minute

strike against poland took sweden top. we have two days to wait until the last 16, but the knockout football is already keeping us entertained. so if you've updated your euros wall chart, this is how the draw for the last 16 should look. so england face germany at wembley on tuesday — that game will be on bbc one at 5 o'clock. wales play denmark in amsterdam at 5 o'clock on saturday — that's also on bbc one. now, because they're both in the same side of the draw, england and wales could meet in the semi—finals — if they get that far, of course. well wales are heading to amsterdam today, for that game against denmark. wales fans have been warned not to travel to the netherlands because covid restrictions mean they won't be allowed into the country — but there will be danish fans at the game. with wales, you feel it doesn't matter because they faced all of those turkish fans in azerbaijan and came through with flying colours, so

it won't bother wales. the focus then switches because they kick off then switches because they kick off the knockout stages on saturday. literally. they do, first game against denmark. mike, see you tomorrow. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. did you see the weather in berlin for that game? it was tipping down. in eastern europe they have had a record—breaking june temperatures with moscowjust record—breaking june temperatures with moscow just shy record—breaking june temperatures with moscowjust shy of record—breaking june temperatures with moscow just shy of 35 degrees, their highest temperature recorded there since 1901 and we also have mixed fortunes with the weather today and are looking at a mostly cloudy day and there is some sunshine in the forecast but there is also rain. the rain is courtesy of two weather fronts, and they are slowly slip —— slipping south remaining quite light but a lot of low cloud and murkiness around, but the weather front is bringing more persistent rain and behind that we are looking at gusty northerly winds. we have all of this cloud

which will eventually come into the south—east were at the moment it is sunny and it will take the patchy rain with it. all of the rain is moving across scotland and northern ireland, leaving some brisk winds coming in behind it, but in between and across northern england, wales and across northern england, wales and eventually parts of south—west england, it will brighten up and we will see some sunshine and we could have highs today of 2a degrees in north—east england. if that tempts you into the water, the sea temperature in the north—east is only iii degrees at the moment. pollen levels today are high across england and wales and moderate across the rest of the uk. as we had on through the evening and overnight, we still have a weather front continuing to journey into the south—east, but the second is hot on its heels and if we follow it round, its heels and if we follow it round, it is a big hook, a weatherfront that will sink southwards across scotland. still a brisk northerly wind and these are the overnight lows between nine and 15 degrees, so it's not going to be a cold night. tomorrow we start with the bottom end of the weather front continuing

to push to the south—east and if we take the top end it sinks south across the north—east of scotland, getting into southern scotland and the best of the sunshine will be out to the west but we could see sharp showers which could be thundering across parts of wales, the west midlands and north—west england through the day. one thing you will notice are a real nosedive when you think north—east england today, 2a and tomorrow, 13 and we are looking at highs generally in the south is 19 up to 20 and in the north, 12 to 15. as we head into friday on the weekend, this system which is wrapped around an area of low pressure sinks a little bit further south, so in the south the weather will be more unsettled but we have a ridge of high pressure across the north, so for scotland and northern ireland we will see the lion's share of the sunshine and you will find there is a bit more cloud coming in at times, but for england and wales we are looking at brisk winds, especially in the south and also showers at times. they could be heavy and thundering on the far

south of england during the course of saturday. into sunday again we are looking at a lot of dry weather for scotland, northern england and northern ireland with some sunshine and further south we still have weather fronts close by and still the likelihood we could see showers and some of those could be heavy and thundery. the temperature range is between 13 and 20 but the 20 in glasgow in the sunshine will feel very nice and this rain in the south might affect wimbledon on monday. you will be taking your brolly if you are there. are you there on monday? you are there. are you there on monda ? , ,., ., you are there. are you there on monda ? , ., ::, you are there. are you there on monda ? , ,., ., ii , , monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting _ monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it — monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it up. _ monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it up. -- _ monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it up. -- but- monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it up. -- but if- monday? yes, both to 50s thundery i won't be putting it up. -- but if it i won't be putting it up. —— but if it is thundery i won't be putting up. very wise, carol. i wouldn't go that far. what was the good start about moscow, highest temperatures injuly since 1901? it is moscow, highest temperatures in july since 1901? , g moscow, highest temperatures in july since 1901?_ you _ moscow, highest temperatures in july since 1901?_ you can - since 1901? it is june. you can correct me- — since 1901? it is june. you can correct me. it _ since 1901? it is june. you can correct me. it was _ since 1901? it is june. you can correct me. it was june. i since 1901? it is june. you can correct me. it was june. sorry| since 1901? it is june. you can | correct me. it was june. sorry i didn't mean — correct me. it was june. sorry i didn't mean to _ correct me. it was june. sorry i didn't mean to correct - correct me. it was june. sorry i didn't mean to correct you, i correct me. it was june. sorry i didn't mean to correct you, but correct me. it was june. sorry i l didn't mean to correct you, but it isjune. didn't mean to correct you, but it is june. . ,. didn't mean to correct you, but it isjune. ., y., , .,, didn't mean to correct you, but it isjune. ., , , is june. can you stop being polite to each other. _ is june. can you stop being polite to each other. it's _ is june. can you stop being polite to each other. it's really - is june. can you stop being polite to each other. it's really weird. i to each other. it's really weird. it's not like us.—

both the queen and the prince of wales have embraced the principles of diversity over many years. yet only 8.5% of buckingham palace staff are from ethnic minorities. a target of 10% has now been set to be achieved by the end of next year. according to the palace, this more active approach to diversity was under way before the duke and duchess of sussex gave their us television interview in which meghan suggested she had encountered racist attitudes within the royal family. elsewhere, the palace's annual report notes that the sussexes have made a payment of £2.1t million to cover the cost of the refurbishment of frogmore cottage in windsor, which it had been intended would be their permanent home. according to the palace, this payment is also deemed to cover rent for the cottage. speaking of refurbishment, these are the latest pictures from inside buckingham palace. it's currently in the fourth year

of a ten—year, £369 million refurbishment programme. the closure of the palace to visitors last summer had a detrimental effect on palace revenue, down more than £10 million. but it meant that in some areas such as the palace picture gallery, work was able to proceed without interruption. for the queen, who had herfirst face—to—face audience with the prime minister yesterday since march of last year, it should mean that the palace is ready to receive visitors again in time for her platinum jubilee next year. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the uk's first dedicated 'scientific centre for horticulture' opens its doors today. it aims to protect the future of plants, people and the planet. it also has the biggest collection of garden plants from across the uk — some of which go back hundreds of years. our reporter luxmy gopal is at rhs garden wisley for us this morning.

(13cm morning. i would say look for the green, but that's what i'm wearing and there is green everywhere, so it doesn't narrow it down but welcome and good morning. what a beautiful day and what a people place. these are the brand—new gardens at rhs wisley and they are part of the brand—new rhs hilltop which has opened today, the first of its kind in the uk. it is a hub for everything scientific to do with horticulture and research into everything to do with gardening, botany, insect life, the lot. it opens today to the public but we have been inside to give you a little bit of a preview. 240 acres, and nearly 120 year of history. now, rhs garden wisley is making history by becoming home to the uk's first dedicated scientific

centre for horticulture. scientists on site will study the changing climate, plant health and insect life. with a collection of 25,000 creatures, some of which were caught at wisley nearly a century ago. so, this elephant hawk moth was collected here at wisley, 97 years ago. it's probably one of the earlier specimens in our collection. it houses the country's biggest archive of dried garden plants, overseen by someone with the grand title of keeper of the herbarium. i preserve the nation's heritage by looking after a collection of dried and pressed specimens. you've got something here that i'm particularly excited about, which is a potato specimen that charles darwin brought? it's quite interesting because charles darwin didn't actually try it out but the crew of the beagle tried it out. he was sensible because being a taxonomist, he would know that a lot of the species were poisonous.

so his crew were the guinea pigs! we have 90,000 specimens here at the moment, we are hoping to reach 400,000, which is the total that we think would cover ornamental plants in the uk. and we are hoping to do this with the help of volunteers. from spuds of the past to a vital plant project for the future. so, while gardeners are enjoying and have the joy out of gardening, at the same time they can feel positive and take positive action about combating the climate crises, helping with biodiversity and pollinators, and just having a better impact on the environment but also at the same time can help. the centre will research how gardening can mitigate climate change. helping horticulture go green and getting more people green fingered, it aims to preserve the uk's plant heritage and nurture new generations of gardeners for the future. let'sjoin a garden let's join a garden designer here,
