6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today. almost three years after he was sent to prison for sexual assault, the american entertainer bill cosby is released after his conviction was overturned. the fashion chain gap confirms plans to close all its 81 stores in the uk and ireland. good morning. a major boost for electric cars as nissan is set to announce a big investment in batteries. the government is involved but critics say they are ahead on promises but behind on investment. andy murray has done it again.
6:01 am
the two time wimbledon champion battled through a late night five set epic on centre court to make it into the third round. on the day princess diana would have turned 60, her sons william and harry unveil a statue in her honour. good morning. today again, part of the east will have a bit of crowd round, thick enough for some drizzle but for many of us, we are looking at a drier and sunny day with a few showers, some of us could see sharp showers. it's thursday, july the 1st. our top story. after more than two years behind bars, the american actor and comedian, bill cosby, has been released from prison. judges at the highest court in pennsylvania overturned his conviction for sexual assault, ruling the 83—year—old should be freed because the correct legal processes hadn't been followed. michelle fleury has this report. this is the moment bill cosby left prison, a free man. he had served two years of a three
6:02 am
to ten year sentence. his fall from grace was sealed in 2018 after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault, for drugging and molesting andrea constand in 200a. but in a stunning reversal, pennsylvania's highest court said the entertainer should never have been charged. in the split ruling, the judges wrote the trial shouldn't have gone ahead because of an immunity deal mr cosby had struck with the previous prosecutor. he can't be retried. earlier, supporters drove by mr cosby�*s home shouting, "hey, hey, hey". a reference to fat albert, the cartoon character he once played. the comedian, who is back with his family, didn't comment to the media but said in a statement, "i have always maintained my innocence". for his accuser, andrea constand, it was a bitter blow. reacting to the decision, she called it...
6:03 am
bill cosby became known as america's dad for his role as bill huxtable in the 19805 hit sitcom the cosby show. his conviction was seen as proof that even when the accused is one of the most famous people in the world, the voices of the victims of sexual assault could be heard in the us justice system. now, he has a chance to restore his reputation. michelle fleury, bbc news. the clothing retailer, gap, has announced it's closing all 81 of its stores in the uk and ireland and will trade only online. ben boulos is outside the company's flagship store on london's oxford street and can tell us more. how have they come to this decision? well, this is part of the problem. heavy discounting is something that gap has relied on to get shoppers
6:04 am
coming into the stores and spending money, even before the pandemic it. so when lockdown came in and the stores had to shut, it was already in a rather weak position. its flagship store and the other 80 that it has across the uk and ireland will close by the end of september. it will become an online only retailer in this country, reflecting a very definite trend in the way that we are all now shopping. once a common sight on the british high street. but by the end of september this year, all 81 gap clothes shops in the uk and ireland will have shut their doors for the final time. the warning signs were already there. last month, the company announced the closure of 19 stores as their leases were expiring. in a statement, gap said it planned to stay trading online but hasn't yet made clear how many of its staff will be affected by the plans. the consultation with workers is under way. we heard from gap earlier this year that they were undergoing strategic review of all of their retail operations in europe and that it could of all the stores in the uk.
6:05 am
could mean the closure of all the stores in the uk. whilst it's a massive gap on the high street, because it's another brand gone, i think it's understandable because the organisation have not only had to endure the same on and off lockdowns that the rest of retail have, and they were dependent on those numbers, but it's also a brand that's going through a big change. they were having challenging times before the pandemic hit. gap's announcement comes as the latest blow to uk high streets, already reeling from the collapse of debenhams and retail group arcadia during the pandemic. and with online retail sales continuing to rise, and footfall remaining sluggish, it's unlikely gap will be the last of the big clothing chain to move permanently to cyberspace. the lights are still on and the display windows are still full here, but it will close. you might think that here on 0xford but it will close. you might think that here on oxford street it would be easy to find someone to take over this store but on the way up i walked past seven�*s old track ship store, that is still boarded—up and
6:06 am
empty. —— i walked past debenhams old flagship store. and over here is another retail shopping location to let in the uk's prime location for shopping. the japanese car—maker nissan is due to confirm a major expansion of its sunderland plant this morning, creating thousands of jobs locally. it's expected that a new factory will be built, capable of producing more than 100,000 batteries for electric vehicles every year by 202a. nina is there for us. tell us what we might hear a little later on. ,., ., ., �*, tell us what we might hear a little later on. ., �*, . ., later on. good morning. it's nice to be at a car— later on. good morning. it's nice to be at a car plant — later on. good morning. it's nice to be at a car plant announcing - later on. good morning. it's nice to be at a car plant announcing somel be at a car plant announcing some growth for once rather than job losses. this could be a major day for sunderland and the british car industry and for our pledge to get rid of diesel and petrol cars by 2030. if, as we expect, nissan does
6:07 am
announce this major boost in battery production. nissan, the site here in sunderland, this is the japanese car—maker �*s biggest site in europe, it has been here since 1986 and employs 6000 people. at the moment they make the electric leaf model and the batteries that go in it, but the government wants more, more electric cars and more batteries with more power in them. i'll be expecting to see the announcement today of something called a gigafactory? a factory that makes a capacity of battery three times the size of the current one here. they make more of them faster and pump them out at a huge rate. we might hear about a new electric model being launched. nissan are not doing this alone, they have the help from the government, but we don't know
6:08 am
how much that will be. the overall fee is expected to be £500 million, perhaps the government investment will be tens of millions, we will wait and see. but they do need this to happen, they are hostage to their own promises about phasing out petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and have the uk carbon neutral by 2050 and critics say they have over promised but are under delivering on measures. 2.5 million electric charging power points are needed and critics say that if this announcement goes ahead this morning, it will be nowhere near enough. morning, it will be nowhere near enou:h. . ~ morning, it will be nowhere near enou:h. ., ~ ,, morning, it will be nowhere near enou:h. . ~ ,, ., dozens of people have died in western canada during an unprecedented heatwave that's lasted almost a week. cities across the north west of the us are also experiencing the intense heat which president biden has blamed on climate change. here's our science editor, david shukman. a sign of trouble in a world that's getting hotter. an emergency cooling centre in a region that never normally needs one. the western united states and canada
6:09 am
are experiencing heat they're just not used to. i think it's incredibly important that we set up these spaces so people can come in, feel taken care of, feel safe, get cool, and get some water and a bite to eat if they need it. you know, the hotels seem to be sold out as well because people are running away, they need to go somewhere cool with ac. it's just unbearable. it's impossible to be out. it's most dangerous for the homeless. helping them with shade and water is essential. in canada, which is famous for its cold, the heatwave has been blamed for more than 100 deaths. it's the elderly who are less able to regulate their body temperature who are most vulnerable. whether you have heart or breathing problems, or if you are an elderly person, sometimes you just don't cope as well quite as well in the heat of the sun. and the hotter it gets, the more wildfires are likely to start. this one was filmed in california a few days ago. president biden has warned
6:10 am
the rising temperatures bring all kinds of dangers. the extreme heat we're seeing in the west is not only a risk amplifier for wildfires, it's a threat in and of itself. people are hurting. it's more dangerous for kids to play outside. roads are buckling under the heat. again, i need not tell all of you. so, what's causing this heat? well, there's a vast dome of high pressure above western canada. it's like a lid in the atmosphere, trapping warm air and pushing it down where it gets even hotter. and the heat is held in place by the path of the jet stream, so temperatures have kept climbing. and this is really unusual. the dark red area is far warmer than average. and scientists say that it's human activity, the burning of fossilfuels, that's made this far more likely. my analysis of the temperatures that we are seeing in the western side of north america just wouldn't have been feasible in the natural course of events.
6:11 am
we've analysed the climate that you would expect, without emissions of greenhouse gases, and you just don't see these sorts of extraordinary temperatures that we are seeing at the moment. the next big worry is farmland, and whether crops will survive the punishing temperatures. the heatwave won't last forever, but it is a reminder of what climate change can really mean. david shukman, bbc news. we will talk to a couple of brits in canada about what it's like out there at the moment and how they are managing with the heat before 7am. the number of migrants crossing the channel by boat in the first half of this year has more than doubled compared with the same period last year. almost 6,000 people have made the journey since january. meanwhile this last month ofjune saw a record numberfor a single month, with more than 2,000 people making the crossing. simonjones reports. crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world. for the people on board this boat, the destination is dover.
6:12 am
the government has repeatedly pledged to make this route unviable, but the numbers have continued to grow. the boats are getting bigger, and the smugglers organising thejourneys are packing more and more people onto them. injune, more than 2000 people made the crossing from france to the uk, a record figure for a single month. it brings the total so far this year to just under 6000 migrants. that's an increase on the first half of last year when almost 2500 made the journey. it's a highly visible route. though last year asylum applications in the uk actually fell by a quarter. the un refugee agency has previously described numbers arriving as manageable. a familiar sight in dover, people being brought to shore by the border force after being picked up in the channel. next week the nationality and borders bill comes before parliament. the government says its new plan for immigration will tackle the criminal gangs behind the crossings who are putting profits before people's lives.
6:13 am
but charities supporting refugees say what's needed is more safe and legal ways for migrants to be able to claim asylum in the uk from abroad, without having to risk their lives on the water. simon jones, bbc news. the nhs has been given the green light to roll out a booster vaccine programme this autumn. the extra dose will be given to the over—50s and anyone eligible for a flu jab. flu numbers are expected to be higher than normal this year, meaning extra protection against covid is likely to be needed to prevent too many hospital admisisons. changes to the government's furlough scheme take effect today as the treasury starts to wind down economic support for companies hit by the pandemic. employers will now be able to claim back only 70% of their workers' wages rather than 80%, and will need to cover the 10% shortfall themselves. business groups, trade unions and labour have urged the government not to press ahead with the changes. a covid certificate which aims to ease travelling between eu countries has been launched today.
6:14 am
the document has a qr code which shows whether someone has been vaccinated, recovered from the virus, or has had a recent negative test result. it's hoped it will reduce the need for eu residents to quarantine when they travel. talks about the uk joining the scheme remain ongoing. a man has apologised for his part in the footage that shows england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty, being harrassed in a park. 24—year—old lewis hughes has said he is sorry for any upset caused, and that he has "paid the price" after losing hisjob because of the incident. police say it's been recorded as a common assault. voters will head to the polls in a parliamentary by—election in the west yorkshire seat of batley and spen today. it was held by labour at the last election, and the contest is seen as a big test for the party and sir keir starmer�*s leadership. there are 16 candidates running for the seat.
6:15 am
0ur expecting results at some stage in the morning tomorrow. let's get the weather with carol. good morning. the weatherfor the next few days is sunshine and showers, there will also be areas of low cloud but today for many, it will be drier with fewer showers. we start on a murky note, some mist and fog around the coasts of northern ireland, wales come into the south—west, the channel islands, some could drift into the corner of south—east england through the day. murky to start to the north of scotland and we have this cloud across the east of england which will be thick enough now and again to produce some drizzle here and there. away from these areas, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine and the odd shower. 0ne of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine and the odd shower. one or two could well prove to be sharp as we go through the day. top temperatures up to 22. for wimbledon for the rest of the week, a lot of
6:16 am
dry weather but the risk of a shower that increases through tomorrow and then again on into the weekend. tonight, we see a lot of clear skies. we also have some cloud, mist and fog, coming in across the southeast and kent as well, and you will find we will start to see some murky conditions developed through the night as the showers fade. it will not be a particularly cold night for most of us, but in some sheltered glands, we could see temperatures down into —— in some sheltered glands, we some temperatures into single figures. princes william and harry will come together today to unveil a statue of their mother, princess diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday. princess diana, on what would have it will be the first time the brothers have seen each other since the funeral of their grandfather, the duke of edinburgh, amid reports of a family rift. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph reports. in place, but hidden from view until its unveiling this afternoon.
6:17 am
the statue of diana princess of wales will stand here in the sunken garden of kensington palace. it was a favourite location of diana's. over the past two years, the layout of the garden has been redesigned and replanted to create a calmer and more reflective setting for the statue. it was commissioned by princes william and harry to mark the positive impact their mother had during their life. they've been involved at every stage, to ensure the statue captures their mother in the way they remember her. yesterday, harry, fresh out of self isolation, afterflying in from california, was a surprise guest at a charity event for seriously ill children. another reminder of the kind of work his mother did. today will be filled with emotion for her sons. i think the statue is another form of legacy. it's celebrating everything that she stood for, for the 36 years that she lived. it will capture the thoughts
6:18 am
of her sons around her. i think that will be hugely, that will be so meaningful. the statue has been created by sculptor ian rank—broadley. his work, a major part of the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire. he already has a royal connection as well, having designed the image of the queen that appears on all our coins. oh, my god. get this on camera. you forgot your boots! the days of banter and teasing between william and harry are gone for now, amid family conflict. their relationship remained strained. the tension lingers between them. 0ur british royal family is not supposed to be a perfect family. if somehow out of this split comes some kind of reconciliation, that will presumably hold a lesson for all of us. many around them hope that under the gaze of their mother today, there is a chance of some reconciliation. daniela relph, bbc news.
6:19 am
there is quite a lot of talk in the papers this morning about whether the rift between the brothers has been healed, the daily mail suggesting that they have had text conversations, in particular about the england result over germany, in the england result over germany, in the fitful, so maybe football will be the thing that bridges them, who knows. —— the result over germany in the football. let's take a look at today's papers. the times front page is about the covid vaccine booster programme. it says all adults aged over 50 will be offered a third jab alongside the flu vaccine from september. the daily mail goes with the same story, which it says could be a "mix and match" approach. meanwhile, the guardian reports of fears over the safety of mass events after hundreds of scotland fans, who travelled to london for a euro 2020 match, tested positive for coronavirus. the data was published by public health scotland. and andy murray's thrilling five—set match
6:20 am
win against 0scar 0tte is one of most read stories on the bbc news website. if you missed any of it orjust want to see it all again, there's a highlights film on the website. and michael give us all of the details on bring us up to speed on it all. —— mike will bring is that it all. —— mike will bring is that it has. i noticed that wayne rooney and his mrs are going on a canal boat holiday. they grabbed themselves a bargain holiday according to the sun newspaper, treating therefore children to a peaceful canal break which is very different to the sorts of pictures we usually see of them on a beach in barbados. nice in a very calming way, i imagine. barbados. nice in a very calming way. i imagine-— barbados. nice in a very calming way, i imagine. only one captain on the shi - , way, i imagine. only one captain on the ship. you _ way, i imagine. only one captain on the ship, you know, _ way, i imagine. only one captain on the ship, you know, rachel. - way, i imagine. only one captain on the ship, you know, rachel. i'm - way, i imagine. only one captain on the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not auoin to the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not going to argue _ the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not going to argue with _ the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not going to argue with you _ the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not going to argue with you on - the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not going to argue with you on that - the ship, you know, rachel. i'm not| going to argue with you on that one. i draw your attention to this story, about sweet caroline, and how much it is sung. a classic neil diamond
6:21 am
song, i didn't realise it has been used by dozens of fitful clubs all over the world many times —— football clubs. it has gone back many years. if you want a bit of doubt detail about the song, why was it sweet caroline? did you know all this? sweet caroline is the name of the song. it wasn't going to be sweet caroline, his wife at the time, this says, he was talking in 2014, his wife at the time's name was marcia, but he could not find a rhythm for equity, it wouldn't scan. he was watching tv and caroline kennedy, she was on tv, and he went, oh, caroline. the song existed. marcia didn't get the song, caroline did. , , ,., marcia didn't get the song, caroline did. , , ., ., did. there must be something about a erfect did. there must be something about a perfect formula _ did. there must be something about a perfect formula for _ did. there must be something about a perfect formula for cloud _ did. there must be something about a perfect formula for cloud singing - did. there must be something about a perfect formula for cloud singing a - perfect formula for cloud singing a song that works, because even the

most tuneless football fan can bang out sweet —— there must a perfect formula for crowd singing songs. sweet marcia just doesn't work. your washing machine, fridge or tv could last another ten years or so, thanks to a new law which comes into force today. it's all about manufacturers being forced to make spare parts available so that appliances can be fixed instead of heading straight to the tip. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith is at a waste recycling centre on merseyside to tell us more. this is a really interesting story. who hasn't had an occasion where they wanted to mend something and lo and behold, no parts available. so what will you do next? yes. and behold, no parts available. so what will you do next?— what will you do next? yes, good mornin: , what will you do next? yes, good morning, charlie _ what will you do next? yes, good morning, charlie and _ what will you do next? yes, good morning, charlie and rachel, - what will you do next? yes, good| morning, charlie and rachel, that what will you do next? yes, good i morning, charlie and rachel, that is exactly the situation that loads of people find themselves in. either it is too expensive to repair things like this or theyjust can't get the parts, whether it is a draw say for
6:23 am
a washing machine, ora new parts, whether it is a draw say for a washing machine, or a new door, new one is going in and out of the dishwasher. 0ften new one is going in and out of the dishwasher. often if you're item is more than a couple of years old, the manufacturerjust more than a couple of years old, the manufacturer just does more than a couple of years old, the manufacturerjust does not stock it any more, they make new designs. this law is designed to try and help that. the whole point is that for now it will be available for ten years so when a new product is sold from today, you be able to be getting spare parts for ten years. this isn't about who is responsible for repairing it, so if you are outside of a warranty, you will probably have to pay for a new part or somebody to fit it, probably, especially if it is a more complicated electrical or gas item within the product itself. at least you know you will be able to get hold of it. it's designed to try and cut down on the 1.5 million tonnes of electrical waste we make every yearin of electrical waste we make every year in the uk. we talk about white goods but it also applies to tvs. have a look in here. this is the kind of culture that we are trying
6:24 am
to shift in the uk, moving from a throwaway culture to one of repairing things. he's only six, is willie, but he's got a mechanical mind, and he's taken over part of his father's yard as a repair shop for kiddies' bikes, trikes and so on. repairing things might have gone out of fashion for a while. bringing history back to life is what makes the repair shop so special. but it's all the rage again now. it's not a two minute job doing this, so patience is definitely the key. but even if you're wanting to get things repaired at the moment, whether to save money or save the planet, it's pretty hard to get hold of the right parts that you need to replace things. but from today, things will hopefully start to get a little bit easier. manufacturers of white goods and tvs now have to stock and sell replacement parts of each product for ten years. so would it tempt you to try and repair something? my dishwasher and oven was 15 years old, and ijust replaced both of them. maybe if it's a smaller repair, something that's just £60 or £70,
6:25 am
like a small part, like an element in an oven, but over and above that, i wouldn't have thought so. a toaster, kettle, you know, i might even potentially have a look at a hoover. just a very basic repair, yeah, but certainly not on a washer or a cooker, ora tumble dryer. they're so cheap to replace, so ijust probably get - a new one, really. door seals can go, and that's an easy thing that a homeowner can replace themselves. similar with shelves. rob's company has 400 engineers. washing machines are a huge part of our business. it's what we see day in and day out. making more complex repairs in domestic appliances. these can sometimes come off the runners, quite easily fixable, you just click them back in. but he thinks there's plenty we can try ourselves. it gives customers a choice. we really want consumers to take that opportunity to look at what they need as a repair, whether they can repair it themselves via a small component, or if they need to call somebody out like ourselves. a yougov survey suggests we feel most confident with the hoover.
6:26 am
42% feel comfortable repairing vacuum cleaners. 20% would try patching up a broken toaster. and only 4% would try to fix a gas cooker. in all the statistics, men consistently reported feeling more confident in trying to repair household items than women. but does that mean they do a betterjob? no, not when you've got a partner like me, no. he attempts it but for me, if you've had something for six years, off you pop. and get a new one. it's removable, you can separate it. it's cheaper to make it in one piece. but we make it like that. the uk's only white goods manufacturers say they knew the legislation was coming, and have already made their machines simpler to mend. the secret of products that are easy to repair and last longer is in the design. you've got to start off by saying,
6:27 am
the objective here is to make a product that's going to be reliable, easy to maintain or whatever. you've got to design a product that's difficult to make wrong and easy to be repaired if it needs to be repaired. even though we now have the right to repair, it's a big cultural shift to convince people to fix things rather than fling them. that's one of the big question is, whether products will get a little bit more expensive if manufacturers are going to have to start stocking parts for longer, and also making them more repairable in the first place. the thing is, the thought of waiting a couple of weeks spare part for an everyday item like a fridge or your washing machine that you use all the time is maybe too much for a lot of people to tolerate, they need a new one immediately when something breaks, without hanging around waiting for an engineer and a new part. thank you so much. we had this recently, charlie, the hinge went on
6:28 am
ourfridge door, so recently, charlie, the hinge went on our fridge door, so we called recently, charlie, the hinge went on ourfridge door, so we called up recently, charlie, the hinge went on our fridge door, so we called up the company, said, it needs a new part and they would not do that. they insisted on bringing a whole new fridge which was crazy, they said it wasn't worth the cost of the repair. if you have any patched up appliances, things you have repaired over and over again that you want to share with us, we would love to see them. you can contact us on twitter or by e—mail. i5 them. you can contact us on twitter or by e-mail-— or by e-mail. is it the most opened door in the — or by e-mail. is it the most opened door in the house, _ or by e-mail. is it the most opened door in the house, the _ or by e-mail. is it the most opened door in the house, the fridge - or by e-mail. is it the most openedj door in the house, the fridge door? probably is. door in the house, the fridge door? probably le— probably is. particularly at the moment with _ probably is. particularly at the moment with so _ probably is. particularly at the moment with so many - probably is. particularly at the | moment with so many children probably is. particularly at the - moment with so many children self isolating, yes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. a parliamentary inquiry into policing at the sarah everard vigil in march, has found there were multiple failings by officers. the met was criticised for being heavy handed during the vigil on clapham common, but cleared of any wrongdoing by inspectors.
6:29 am
but the all parliamentary group said the right to peaceful protest must be supported, not suppressed by the law. her majesty s inspectorate of constabulary has rejected the findings of the parliamentary group, saying its own review found officers acted proportionately. chelsea and westminster hospital has opened a new state—of—the—art expansion to its intensive care unit. the ribbon was cut by three and a half year—old theo hutton, who was born prematurely atjust 23 weeks and looked after by doctors and nurses at the hospital. the new neonatal intensive care unit will allow the hospital to treat 150 more sick babies every year. intensive care is a very technical care process, lots of machines, lots of noise, lots of beeps, lots of staff, lots of very skilled interventions. but actually, what makes a big difference to recovery and a big difference to family is that kind of comfort level, the human issues around light, the space, the feeling that this is a home from home environment. parliament is to re—open its doors to the public once again for tours
6:30 am
of the house of commons. tickets will be on sale from the end ofjuly, for a 90—minute covid secure tour that includes the house of commons and house of lords chambers. households in london have experienced an increase in calorie consumption over the course of the pandemic, according to the institute for fiscal studies. largely down to more working from home, calorie intake was up 10% more than usual unto the end of last year, with experts claiming that associated changes in people's lifestyles had exacerbated the challenges of reducing obesity levels. let's take a look at the travel situation now. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we should see a little bit more in the way of sunshine compared to yesterday. perhaps a little bit of mistiness first thing, but that should start to lift to these decent spells of sunshine. we are at risk of maybe one or two showers. towards end of the afternoon many places staying dry
6:31 am
and temperatures 22 celsius, so feeling a little bit more warmth in that sunshine. that shower risk will peter out overnight. dry with some clear spells to start with, but we'll see low cloud and potentially some mist and fog coming up from the south through the night, minimum temperature between 11 and 14 celsius. so it is going to be quite a murky start tomorrow morning. we should still see some sunshine, but we start to notice the influence of this low—pressure system coming in from the atlantic. so the risk of one or two showers. looking to wimbledon for today, we should get a full day's play. a 10% chance of a shower. uv levels are high and the pollen count very high as well, temperatures around 22 celsius as a maximum. so as we head towards the weekend, that low—pressure system, some showers potentially for friday. but then saturday, spells of rain. and more showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.
6:32 am

6:52 am
was taken in shropshire. basically what has happened is the low pressure that has brought all the cloud and rain across the south—east has moved away. high pressure is starting to take charge. there is hardly a nice bar in the chart, so if you do catch a shower today it will be slow moving. murky conditions, mist and fog adjacent to the irish sea coastline. also some across the channel islands. that could affect south—eastern counties of england through the day. we still have all these cloud parts of south—east england into north—east as well. that is thick enough for some drizzle. in between, for a bit of sunshine and a few showers. temperatures today peaking at about 22 degrees. much brighter in essex and kent and it was yesterday. pollen levels today are high or very high across much of the uk. if you are heading to wimbledon today, there
6:53 am
is the —— it is not going to be a particularly cold night for most of us. in sheltered areas of the north—east of england we could see... as we head into friday, still a lot of quiet weather. not much wind to move the showers. again, the showers will be few and far between. as we go through the afternoon we will see some heavier ones across parts of north—east england and scotland. temperatures up to 23 degrees. the first signs of something coming in from the atlantic later on. into the weekend, the forecast is a much more unsettled one. on saturday we are likely to see widespread showers coming in across the south of england first of all, pushing north
6:54 am
eastwards through the course of the day. as we head into sunday, once again looking like quite a showery picture. as a result of all of this, it does mean temperatures won't be as high as they are going to be today or tomorrow, but not too far away from where they should be at this stage injuly. i can't believe it is saying —— but i am saying it is july. what it is saying —— but i am saying it isjuly. what happened for the first six months of this year? we temperatures in canada are so extreme? absolutely. i have had the highest temperatures ever recorded in parts of canada. we are focusing a lot on the british. 0ver in parts of canada. we are focusing a lot on the british. over 121 a lot on the british. 0ver121 fahrenheit. it was a searing dry a dangerous heat. let's speak now to richard and sarah burton, who are both

6:58 am
good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria home. a parliamentary inquiry into policing at the sarah everard vigil in march, has found there were multiple failings by officers. the met was criticised for being heavy handed during the vigil on clapham common, but cleared of any wrongdoing by inspectors. but the all parliamentary group said the right to peaceful protest must be supported, not suppressed by the law. her majesty s inspectorate of constabulary has rejected the findings of the parliamentary group, saying its own review found officers acted proportionately. some commuters face paying—out over £50 a day more for train travel if they use the new flexible tickets, according to analysis by the labour party. they found that some would pay more per day if they used the flexible tickets three days a week rather than a traditional annual season ticket. a govenment spokesperson said most part—time commuters would benefit and that passengers should consider which product best suits

7:00 am
good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we should see a little bit more in the way of sunshine compared to yesterday. perhaps a little bit of mistiness first thing, but that should start to lift to these decent spells of sunshine. we are at risk of maybe one or two showers. towards end of the afternoon many places staying dry and temperatures 22 celsius, so feeling a little bit more warmth in that sunshine. that shower risk will peter out overnight. dry with some clear spells to start with, but we'll see low cloud and potentially some mist and fog coming up from the south through the night, minimum temperature between 11 and ia celsius. so it is going to be quite a murky start tomorrow morning. we should still see some sunshine, but we start to notice the influence of this low—pressure system coming in from the atlantic. so the risk of one or two showers. looking to wimbledon for today, we should get a full day's play. a 10% chance of a shower. uv levels are high and the pollen count very high as well, temperatures around 22 celsius as a maximum. so as we head towards the weekend, that low—pressure system, some showers potentially for friday.
7:01 am
but then saturday, spells of rain. and more showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today. almost three years after he was sent to prison for sexual assault, the american entertainer bill cosby is released after his conviction was overturned. the fashion chain gap confirms plans to close all its 81 stores in the uk and ireland. good morning. a major boost for electric cars as nissan is set to announce a big investment in batteries. the government is involved but critics say they are ahead on promises but

7:03 am
michelle fleury has this report. this is the moment bill cosby left prison, a free man. he had served two years of a three to ten year sentence. his fall from grace was sealed in 2018 after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault, for drugging and molesting andrea constand in 200a. but in a stunning reversal, pennsylvania's highest court said the entertainer should never have been charged. in the split ruling, the judges wrote the trial shouldn't have gone ahead because of an immunity deal mr cosby had struck with the previous prosecutor. he can't be retried. earlier, supporters drove by mr cosby's home shouting, "hey, hey, hey". a reference to fat albert, the cartoon character he once played. the comedian, who is back with his family, didn't comment to the media but said in a statement, "i have always maintained my innocence". for his accuser, andrea constand,
7:04 am
it was a bitter blow. reacting to the decision, she called it... bill cosby became known as america's dad for his role as cliff huxtable in the 1980s hit sitcom the cosby show. his conviction was seen as proof that even when the accused is one of the most famous people in the world, the voices of the victims of sexual assault could be heard in the us justice system. now, he has a chance to restore his reputation. michelle fleury, bbc news, pennsylvania. the clothing retailer, gap, has announced it's closing all 81 of its stores in the uk and ireland and will trade only online. ben boulos is outside the company's flagship store
7:05 am
on london's oxford street and can tell us more. why tell us more. have they decided to close all of why have they decided to close all of the high street stores? the liuhts of the high street stores? the lights are _ of the high street stores? the lights are still— of the high street stores? the lights are still on _ of the high street stores? ins lights are still on here of the high street stores? “11s lights are still on here for of the high street stores? 11s lights are still on here for now but not for much longer. part of the problem is this, heavy discounting, it's something that gap has relied on to get customers are spending money in its stores, even before the pandemic. when lockdown came in and the stores had to shut, it was already in a weak position. this flagship store in the other 80 it has around the uk and ireland will close for good by the end of september, it will become an online only retailer here, reflecting a very definite trend in the way that we are all now shopping. once a common sight on the british high street. but by the end of september this year, all 81 gap clothes shops in the uk and ireland will have shut their doors for the final time. the warning signs were already there. last month, the company announced the closure of 19 stores as their leases were expiring.
7:06 am
in a statement, gap said it planned to stay trading online but hasn't yet made clear how many of its staff will be affected by the plans. the consultation with workers is under way. we heard from gap earlier this year that they were undergoing strategic review of all of their retail operations in europe and that it could mean the closure of all the stores in the uk. whilst it's a massive gap on the high street, because it's another brand gone, i think it's understandable because the organisation have not only had to endure the same on and off lockdowns that the rest of retail have, and they were dependent on those numbers, but it's also a brand that's going through a big change. they were having challenging times before the pandemic hit. gap's announcement comes as the latest blow to uk high streets, already reeling from the collapse of debenhams and retail group arcadia during the pandemic. and with online retail sales continuing to rise, and footfall remaining sluggish, it's unlikely gap will be the last of the big clothing chain to move permanently to cyberspace.
7:07 am
you might well think that here on oxford street they will have no problem finding someone to take on the store when gap moves out. on the way here i walked past debenhams and their old flagship store which shut a few months ago, it still boarded up a few months ago, it still boarded up and empty, no one in there. and take a look over the road from where we are, another store with an tolet sign on the front. the loss of a major retailer will be a worry not just here in london but on high streets up and down the country. the japanese car—maker nissan is due to confirm a major expansion of its sunderland plant this morning, creating thousands of jobs locally. it's expected that a new factory will be built, capable of producing more than 100,000 batteries for electric vehicles every year by 20211. nina is there for us. tell us some more details. good morning, there is definitely a growing buzz here this morning because this is set to be a big day
7:08 am
for sunderland. a big day for the uk car industry, and for our move towards going electric. let me give you a bit of context about this site in sunderland, this is nissan's biggest site in europe, it has been here since 1986, around 6000 employees and here they make the electric leaf, and within that, the battery. but they want more electric cars and more batteries with more power. to make that happen, what is needed is something called a gigafactory, making batteries around three times the power on a massive scale. we are expecting to hear an announcement on that and possibly on announcement on that and possibly on a new electric model. how involved will the government be? they need for this to happen, they have set their own ambitious pledges of phasing out diesel and petrol cars by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050. critics say they have over promised and are currently under delivering. where are the millions
7:09 am
of charging points for example, that have been promised for electric cars? why are we so far behind the eu and the us when it comes to a gigafactory like this and when the site comes into fruition, where will we stand in the global race? we expect the details of the announcement in the next ten minutes. the number of migrants crossing the channel by boat in the first half of this year has more than doubled compared with the same period last year. almost 6,000 people have made the journey since january. last month saw a record numberfor a single month, with more than 2,000 people making the crossing. the government says its new plan for immigration paper will tackle the criminal gangs behind the crossings. princes william and harry will today unveil a statue of their mother, diana princess of wales, at kensington palace on what would have been her 60th birthday. it will be the first time

7:11 am
father's funeral. what we know about today? very little, a brief unveiling, a small private affair, covid has made that numbers will have had to be limited. the princess will be there along with members of diana's close family. —— the princes will be there, we expect diana's siblings and the garden design designer will be there. a big personal day for the princes, and we know that they know the people will be watching the interactions, hoping it will be a bridge to get their relationship back to what it was. a covid certificate which aims to ease travelling between eu countries has been launched today. the document has a qr code which shows whether someone has been vaccinated, recovered from the virus, or has had a recent negative test result. ourforeign our foreign correspondent is ourforeign correspondent is in vienna. how do these certificates
7:12 am
work, first of all, but will people in the uk be able to use them? hts in the uk be able to use them? 113 really hoped in the uk be able to use them? 1113 really hoped that these certificates will make things much easier because up will make things much easier because up to now, if you tried to to travel, you have needed tests and vaccination certificates, often in lots of different languages. airline staff and border control people could not possibly read them. what this qr code does is shows whether your test status, your vaccination status, and you show it, it is scanned in and everybody can read it across the eu. yes, the eu commission says they are talking to the uk at the moment, having technical talks about that, but they did not give a timescale as to when the uk might be able tojoin did not give a timescale as to when the uk might be able to join this. thank you very much, bethany. a man has apologised for his part in the footage that shows england's chief medical officer,

7:15 am
some drizzle here and there. brighter across essex and kent than yesterday. as temperatures rise to the day, a few showers knocking around, many of us will get away with a dry day. feeling nice in the sunshine, 22 degrees, unless you have an allergen to pollen because the pollen levels are very high or high across much of the uk. this evening and overnight, most of the showers will fade, misty and murky conditions returning, but not a particularly cold night for most of us with temperatures widely in double figures, apart from some sheltered glens where temperatures will be seven or eight. a longer weather forecast in half an hour. thank you very much, carol. the nhs has been given the green light to roll out a booster vaccine programme this autumn.

programme. that's very important this year because we are very concerned that there will be a large epidemic through the winter of flu, having had no flu last year. we need to be able to coordinate those things together and enable people to receive both vaccines in the same visit. 1 receive both vaccines in the same visit. ~' , ., , , receive both vaccines in the same visit. ~ , ., , , ., visit. i think the phrase he used to have, professor, _ visit. i think the phrase he used to have, professor, is, _ visit. i think the phrase he used to have, professor, is, we _ visit. i think the phrase he used to have, professor, is, we need - visit. i think the phrase he used to have, professor, is, we need to i visit. i think the phrase he used to| have, professor, is, we need to be ready, if it proves to be necessary. what are the markers, that you are waiting for, to make that decision? the two key things are, looking at the immune responses and how well they persist in people who have already received the vaccines, and that has been very closely followed. looking at antibody levels over time, if you like. the other thing we will be observing over the next few weeks closely is how well the immunity is persisting, and how well people are being protected against this new wave of covid we are seeing coming through. of course, there are
7:18 am
people in hospital already who have been fully vaccinated, the vaccines are not perfect. but at the moment the signs are very good that the protection is strong. but we will need to see if there are any signs, particularly in the very old and the people who receive the vaccine early in the programme that they are less well protected, which will encourage us to give them boosters. so well protected, which will encourage us to give them boosters.— us to give them boosters. so the timeline on _ us to give them boosters. so the timeline on this, _ us to give them boosters. so the timeline on this, can _ us to give them boosters. so the timeline on this, can you - us to give them boosters. so the timeline on this, can you give i us to give them boosters. so the timeline on this, can you give us| us to give them boosters. so the l timeline on this, can you give us a sense? the talk is around september, if it is going to be brought into place, around september. so will always be on that period late in the summer, which isn't far away now, —— so, we'll all eyes he on that period, to see if people are testing positive if they are double jab, and more importantly, hospitalisations of people who have been double jab? is that the timeline? of people who have been double 'ab? is that the timeline?fi is that the timeline? absolutely, we are literally watching _ is that the timeline? absolutely, we are literally watching this _ is that the timeline? absolutely, we are literally watching this one - is that the timeline? absolutely, we are literally watching this one week|
7:19 am
are literally watching this one week after the next to see what the trends are, and getting more information now about the immune responses to boosters that are given. we are doing studies that are looking at boosting with different vaccines. there will be new vaccines coming through to add to the ones we have already, so we will be in a position to work out which vaccines to use if it proves necessary. and then getting things lined up so that when the flu vaccines come through, we are ready to move with this when it's necessary or if it is necessary. it's necessary or if it is necessary-— it's necessary or if it is necessa . ., ., necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us — necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us who _ necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us who are _ necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us who are not _ necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us who are not expert - necessary. cast your mind forward, those of us who are not expert in l those of us who are not expert in this area, if this does happen, the booster starts in september, people will be thinking that maybe this is basically the future. if you do it after six months, eight months, ten months after you have had your two jabs, basically, that will be the beginning of a new way of living in the same way that you have a flu
7:20 am
vaccine, every year after a certain period of time, you will get a booster vaccine in relation to covid. is that a realistic assumption of where we are going? ht assumption of where we are going? 11 is, but possibly not for everybody. and the uncertainty will reduce as time goes by, and we will really see how much of an ongoing problem we have with this virus, and how it behaves and evolves. i think it's highly likely that we will see, go on seeing people getting infected with this virus in the future, and the need to particularly immunise people who are vulnerable to getting seriously ill with it, yes.— seriously ill with it, yes. finally, on a practical — seriously ill with it, yes. finally, on a practical note, _ seriously ill with it, yes. finally, on a practical note, the - seriously ill with it, yes. finally, on a practical note, the very - seriously ill with it, yes. finally, i on a practical note, the very visual picture, someone having a flu vaccine here and it covid vaccine here, this could be vulnerable people, what do we know about people's ability to withstand two vaccinations at the same time? giving several vaccines at once is fairly common, mostly in children.
7:21 am
adults getting vaccine forjarrell will be familiar with getting several shots on the same day stop —— getting vaccines for travel. we have been leading a study, my colleague has been leading a study in bristol looking at exactly this, the covid vaccine is being given with flu vaccines, over the last few months. the results arejust with flu vaccines, over the last few months. the results are just coming through of that study, and they seem to suggest that it is a perfectly tolerable thing to do. professor adam finn. _ tolerable thing to do. professor adam finn, always _ tolerable thing to do. professor adam finn, always good - tolerable thing to do. professor adam finn, always good to - tolerable thing to do. professor l adam finn, always good to speak tolerable thing to do. professor - adam finn, always good to speak to you, thank you for your time this morning. all eyes will be on princes william and harry later today, as they come together later to unveil a statue of their mother princess diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday. the brothers may put on a united front for the event, but their once close relationship is likely to have been damaged by the revelations prince harry made in his interview with talk show host oprah winfrey. so might this moment today signal
7:22 am
an end to the conflict? we can speak now to royal author and historian robert lacey. good morning. first of all, this statue, if we can talk about it, we know very little about it. have you had any insight? 1110. know very little about it. have you had any insight?— had any insight? no, i have 'ust been over there i had any insight? no, i have 'ust been over there to i had any insight? no, i have 'ust been over there to try �* had any insight? no, i have 'ust been over there to try and i had any insight? no, i havejust been over there to try and look| had any insight? no, i havejust i been over there to try and look at it, and there is nothing visible. apparently, after today, it will be possible for members of the public when the gardens are open, 10am to 6pm also, you will be able to go and look through a gap in the hedge. apparently the sculptor designed it to be seen with hedges on either side. and if you care to pay money, you can go into the palace, and get a closer look at it. but there is a box in there, a big black box, presumably that will be removed and whatever is on top of it will come off. apparently, it will notjust be

7:24 am
conversations or reconciliation. we have no inside information from either side, we know that both brothers will make a speech and the emphasis will be on the tribute to diana. they have been working on this for years. it's not the only tribute to diana ran here, there is a playground, fountain, a walkway, this was meant to be the final piece of the tribute. and of course, it was devised in happier days. apparently, it was even over the style of the statue that the disagreements started to show themselves. although the disagreements are not about the statue itself. and let's hope that this will be a family occasion. of course, it is the spencers, their uncle, charles spencer, who will be presiding over it. they will not be any other members of the royal family present, no prince charles, no queen. it will be in a way a
7:25 am
reminder of how the spencers, the new spencer generation is taking over the family and diana is right at the heart of that.— at the heart of that. prince harry himself has _ at the heart of that. prince harry himself has been _ at the heart of that. prince harry himself has been in _ at the heart of that. prince harry himself has been in quarantine l at the heart of that. prince harry i himself has been in quarantine since he arrived, but he was at an event for a children's charity last night. will he be meeting any other embers of the royal family while he's will he be meeting any other embers of the royalfamily while he's here? —— members of the royalfamily? we haven't been told that. last time he was here, staying in frogmore, he would meet the queen when she was walking her dogs. to date they will only meet briefly before they go out and make the speeches —— today they'll only meet briefly. a lot of people have said to me, what would diana have made this? would her presence had made any this difference? but he will be there
7:26 am
today in presence, a physical presence, and she will be in the hearts and minds of her two sons as they designed this tribute to her. what they do about their relationship is surely part of their tribute to her. the relationship is surely part of their tribute to her.— tribute to her. the new growth of the relationship. _ thousands and thousands of different plants have been planted in this garden, and attended to by the gardens there, have you been able to take a peek at that? 1 gardens there, have you been able to take a peek at that?— take a peek at that? i have seen some pictures — take a peek at that? i have seen some pictures of _ take a peek at that? i have seen some pictures of it, _ take a peek at that? i have seen some pictures of it, yes, - take a peek at that? i have seen some pictures of it, yes, it's- some pictures of it, yes, it's wonderful. they have actually changed the name of the garden, from the sunken garden, slightly depressing name, to the white garden. apparently that is the theme of the planting. wonderful white plants everywhere, and meadow plants, cow parsley in a kind of thing. i think it will be a wonderful thing for people to look at and visit. this is now a new
7:27 am
centre of royal pilgrimage in london. even if you weren't discussing today the relationships between the two brothers, we would between the two brothers, we would be discussing the way in which diana is now centrestage in what the royal family means and stands for. you might not have thought that 25 years ago when she was a royal rebel, but it shows how the monarchy has changed. sadly, the brothers have gone on a different direction for the time being. but one can't imagine that will be the case forever. ., ~ , ., imagine that will be the case forever. ., ~' , ., imagine that will be the case forever. ., ~ , ., . imagine that will be the case forever. ., ~ . ., imagine that will be the case forever. ., . ., forever. thank you so much for your time this morning, _ forever. thank you so much for your time this morning, robert _ forever. thank you so much for your time this morning, robert lacey, i time this morning, robert lacey, royal biographer. tpm is the official unveiling. —— 2pm is the official unveiling. —— 2pm is the official unveiling. —— 2pm is the official unveiling so we will bring you that on the bbc news channel. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. a parliamentary inquiry into policing at the sarah everard vigil in march, has found there were multiple failings by officers. the met was criticised for being heavy handed during the vigil on clapham common,
7:28 am
but cleared of any wrongdoing by inspectors. but the all parliamentary group said the right to peaceful protest must be supported, not suppressed by the law. her majesty s inspectorate of constabulary has rejected the findings of the parliamentary group, saying its own review found officers acted proportionately. chelsea and westminster hospital has opened a new state—of—the—art expansion to its intensive care unit. the ribbon was cut by three and a half year—old theo hutton, who was born prematurely atjust 23 weeks and looked after by doctors and nurses at the hospital. the new neonatal intensive care unit will allow the hospital to treat 150 more sick babies every year. intensive care is a very technical care process, lots of machines, lots of noise, lots of beeps, lots of staff, lots of very skilled interventions. but actually, what makes a big difference to recovery and a big difference to family is that kind of comfort level, the human issues around light, the space,
7:29 am
the feeling that this is a home from home environment. parliament is to re—open its doors to the public once again for tours of the house of commons. tickets will be on sale from the end ofjuly, for a 90—minute covid secure tour that includes the house of commons and house of lords chambers. households in london have experienced an increase in calorie consumption over the course of the pandemic, according to the institute for fiscal studies. largely down to more working from home, calorie intake was up 10% more than usual unto the end of last year, the end of last year. it isa it is a further challenge in the fight against obesity loss. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we should see a little bit more in the way of sunshine compared to yesterday. perhaps a little bit of mistiness first thing, but that should start to lift to these decent spells of sunshine. we are at risk of maybe
7:30 am
one or two showers. towards end of the afternoon many places staying dry and temperatures 22 celsius, so feeling a little bit more warmth in that sunshine. that shower risk will peter out overnight. dry with some clear spells to start with, but we'll see low cloud and potentially some mist and fog coming up from the south through the night, minimum temperature between 11 and 111 celsius. so it is going to be quite a murky start tomorrow morning. we should still see some sunshine, but we start to notice the influence of this low—pressure system coming in from the atlantic. so the risk of one or two showers. looking to wimbledon for today, we should get a full day's play. a 10% chance of a shower. uv levels are high and the pollen count very high as well, temperatures around 22 celsius as a maximum. so as we head towards the weekend, that low—pressure system, some showers potentially for friday. but then saturday, spells of rain. and more showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour.
7:31 am
plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. many of us have been longing for a holiday abroad, but travel restrictions have brought uncertainty to our summer plans. from today, travel between eu countries will be made easier with the introduction of a covid certificate to prove a negative test, or vaccine status. but what does that mean for us here in the uk? breakfast�*s graham satchell has been finding out. the border between croatia and slovenia. at the checkpoint people are showing covid certificates. those who can prove they have been double jabbed, or have had a recent negative test, allowed through. from today, the eu covid certificate goes live across the whole of the european union. it means travel for millions on the continent will start to open up. the certificate doesn't
7:32 am
apply to britain. we are no longer part of the eu. but talks have started with brussels to allow it is people who have had both vaccinations to travel more easily. vaccine tears —— where certificates will make a big difference. they should enable easy access into other countries, especially in europe. the challenge is that governments are constantly changing the rules. they are literally changing day by day at the moment. so consumers need to be a detective, they need to be a sleuth, to travel this summer, to follow the right rules and be up—to—date. i hope the vaccine certificates go some way to helping that riddle. 50 certificates go some way to helping that riddle. ._ certificates go some way to helping that riddle. , ., , ., that riddle. so we may need to show covid certificates _ that riddle. so we may need to show covid certificates in _ that riddle. so we may need to show covid certificates in the _ that riddle. so we may need to show covid certificates in the future - that riddle. so we may need to show covid certificates in the future to - covid certificates in the future to go on holiday. what about use in the uk? a concert in liverpool, one of the government's so called test events. should you have to show a covid certificate to get into a
7:33 am
concert, cinema? the government have been thinking about it for months. latest reports suggest that they won't be required. industry experts say uncertainty is damaging. haste won't be required. industry experts say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government _ say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government to _ say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government to say _ say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government to say one _ say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government to say one way - say uncertainty is damaging. we need the government to say one way or i the government to say one way or another, _ the government to say one way or another, is _ the government to say one way or another, is this going to be an entry— another, is this going to be an entry requirement or not? and i will say that— entry requirement or not? and i will say that even if it isn't mandatory, i do think— say that even if it isn't mandatory, i do think some events may still want _ i do think some events may still want to— i do think some events may still want to introduce a covid certification system as part of the duty of— certification system as part of the duty of care to audiences. your covid status, _ duty of care to audiences. your covid status, how _ duty of care to audiences. your covid status, how many - duty of care to audiences. your covid status, how many jabs i duty of care to audiences. 111,5- covid status, how manyjabs you have had, is automatically uploaded to your nhs app. it looks like you may have to show this to travel in the future. but there is still a? over whether we will have to use it to access large events here. so, let's take a look at what the latest rules are for some popular holiday destinations. in malta, which is now on the uk government's green list, travellers from the uk aged 12
7:34 am
and over can only enter the country if they have had both doses of the vaccine, which effectively stops families with teenagers going there. portugal was on the green list, but is now on the amber list. the portugese authorities have said tourists from the uk must quarantine for 111 days on arrival, unless you can prove you're fully vaccinated. but, unlike malta, portugal will allow under—18s into the country without isolating, if they're with parents who have had both jabs. and in italy, uk tourists need to iisolate for five days and then take a covid test before they can go out and enjoy their holiday. but that rule is only in place until the 30th july. i hope you got your heads around that. for more on the travel and leisure situation, we're joined now by simon calder, the travel editor of the independent, and by stephanie sirr, who's the chief executive of nottingham playhouse.

8:06 am
when nocount came in and stores had to shut, it was already in a weak position —— when lockdown came in. it's flagship store and all of its 81 stores will be closing in the uk and ireland by the end of september, and ireland by the end of september, and it will become an online retailer only. reflecting a definite trend in the way that we are now all shopping. once a common sight on the british high street. but by the end of september this year, all 81 gap clothes shops in the uk and ireland will have shut their doors for the final time. the warning signs were already there. last month, the company announced the closure of 19 stores as their leases were expiring. in a statement, gap said it planned to stay trading online but hasn't yet made clear how many of its staff will be affected by the plans. the consultation with workers is under way. we heard from gap earlier this year that they were undergoing strategic review of all of their retail operations in europe and that it could mean the closure of all the stores in the uk.
8:07 am
whilst it's a massive gap on the high street, because it's another brand gone, i think it's understandable because the organisation have not only had to endure the same on and off lockdowns that the rest of retail have, and they were dependent on those numbers, but it's also a brand that's going through a big change. they were having challenging times before the pandemic hit. gap's announcement comes as the latest blow to uk high streets, already reeling from the collapse of debenhams and retail group arcadia during the pandemic. and with online retail sales continuing to rise, and footfall remaining sluggish, it's unlikely gap will be the last of the big clothing chains to move permanently to cyberspace. just down the road from here is debenham's old flagship store which is still boarded up and empty. the loss of another big name on the high street will be a concern notjust on a prime shopping street like this,
8:08 am
oxford street, but on high streets, retail parks and shopping centres across the country. the american actor and comedian, bill cosby, has been released from prison after more than two years behind bars. judges at the highest court in pennsylvania overturned his conviction for sexual assault, ruling the 83—year—old should be freed because the correct legal processes hadn't been followed. michelle fleury has this report. this is the moment bill cosby left prison, a free man. he had served two years of a three to ten year sentence. his fall from grace was sealed in 2018 after he was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault, for drugging and molesting andrea constand in 200a. but in a stunning reversal, pennsylvania's highest court said the entertainer should never have been charged. in the split ruling, the judges wrote the trial shouldn't have gone ahead because of an immunity deal mr cosby had struck with the previous prosecutor. he can't be retried.
8:09 am
earlier, supporters drove by mr cosby's home shouting, "hey, hey, hey". a reference to fat albert, the cartoon character he once played. the comedian, who is back with his family, didn't comment to the media but said in a statement, "i have always maintained my innocence". for his accuser, andrea constand, it was a bitter blow. reacting to the decision, she called it... bill cosby became known as america's dad for his role as cliff huxtable in the 19805 hit sitcom the cosby show. his conviction was seen as proof that even when the accused is one of the most famous people in the world, the voices of the victims of sexual assault could be heard in the us justice system. now, he has a chance to restore his reputation. michelle fleury, bbc news, pensylvania.

dozens of people have died in western canada during an unprecedented heatwave that's lasted almost a week. more than a hundred regional and national records have been broken by what's been described as a heat dome of high pressure. cities across the north west of the us are also experiencing the high temperatures which president biden has blamed on climate change. the number of migrants crossing the channel by boat in the first half of this year has more than doubled compared with the same period last year. almost 6,000 people have made the journey since january. meanwhile this last month ofjune saw a record numberfor a single month, with more than 2,000 people making the crossing. simonjones reports. crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world. for the people on board this boat, the destination is dover. the government has repeatedly pledged to make this route unviable, but the numbers have continued to grow. the boats are getting bigger, and the smugglers organising thejourneys are packing more
8:11 am
and more people onto them. injune, more than 2000 people made the crossing from france to the uk, a record figure for a single month. it brings the total so far this year to just under 6000 migrants. that's an increase on the first half of last year when almost 2500 made the journey. it's a highly visible route. though last year asylum applications in the uk actually fell by a quarter. the un refugee agency has previously described numbers arriving as manageable. a familiar sight in dover, people being brought to shore by the border force after being picked up in the channel. next week the nationality and borders bill comes before parliament. the government says its new plan for immigration will tackle the criminal gangs behind the crossings who are putting profits before people's lives. but charities supporting refugees say what's needed is more safe and legal ways for migrants to be able to claim asylum in the uk from abroad,

without having to risk their lives on the water. simon jones, bbc news. the nhs has been given the green light to roll out a booster vaccine programme this autumn. the extra dose will be given to the over—sos and anyone eligible for a flu jab. flu numbers are expected to be higher than normal this year, meaning extra protection against covid is likely to be needed to prevent too many hospital admisisons. changes to the government's furlough scheme take effect today, as the treasury starts to wind down economic support for companies hit by the pandemic. employers will now be able to claim back only 70% of their workers' wages rather than 80% and will need to cover the 10% shortfall themselves. business groups, trade unions and labour have urged the government not to press ahead with the changes. princes william and harry will today unveil a statue of their mother, diana, princess of wales, at kensington palace, on what would have been her 60th birthday. it will be the first time the brothers have seen each other since the funeral

8:14 am
close family will be there, her siblings, the sculptor will be there, and also the garden designer. that's happening later on today. i should say that the public will not be able to see the statue today. it will only be able to be visible when kensington palace is open to the public and it has been closed today for that event. it will be open from tomorrow. no doubt it will bring a lot of visitors. today would have been diana's 60th birthday. thank ou ve been diana's 60th birthday. thank you very much. — been diana's 60th birthday. thank you very much, sarah. _ let's have a look at the weather. looking at those pictures about the events in london, looking may be ok for them. yes, there is less of a risk today of a shower than yesterday, more sunshine around across much of the uk. you can already see some sunshine in the highlands, this is a weather watch is picture. but the forecast will change especially towards the weekend. you can see
8:15 am
what is coming our way, an area of low pressure with its various fronts, today we are starting with some cloud and murky conditions, particularly around the irish sea coastline, just the can —— across the channel islands. in eastern england to the cloud will be thick enough for some drizzle. in between, dry weather, the odd shower across the trossachs in scotland. not all of us catching one. a bit more cloud in northern ireland but i will break up in northern ireland but i will break up as well. for the east of england, damages will be lower, thicker clad with some drizzle. —— temperatures will be lower. take a cloud with some drizzle. this evening and overnight, the showers will fade and we will see some low cloud, mist and fog, and under clear skies it will be a cold night in sheltered glens in scotland, and in the shelter, in the north—east of england. tomorrow
8:16 am
we start with low cloud, mist and murk, that will break with some sunshine coming through. tomorrow the showers will be more widespread than today. not all of us will catch on but they could be heavy or thundery across northern england and south to scotland in particular. highs of up to 23. thank you, carol. a continuous cough, a fever, and a loss of taste and smell. these are the covid symptoms that we're probably familiar with, and we should book a test if we develop them. but scientists now say more should be added to that official list. headaches, a cough and fatigue are some of the most common symptoms people have experienced, according to a uk survey by the office of national statistics. in the us, a runny nose, muscle ache or a sore throat are also listed as some of the signs that you could have the virus. and the world health organization
8:17 am
says people can also suffer with conjunctivitis or a skin rash. we're joined now in the studio by professor calum semple, who is a professor of child health and outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool. we know those obvious ones, loss of taste and smell, temperature continuous and cough, but the symptoms of this virus have grown and varied so much over the last 18 months, how do you keep on top of it all? �* , : months, how do you keep on top of it all? �*, . . all? it's tricky, you are right, at the start it _ all? it's tricky, you are right, at the start it was _ all? it's tricky, you are right, at the start it was good _ all? it's tricky, you are right, at the start it was good enough i all? it's tricky, you are right, at the start it was good enough to| all? it's tricky, you are right, at- the start it was good enough to use the start it was good enough to use the simple three symptoms. but as older people are vaccinated, proportionally younger people have the disease and they have a different group of symptoms. by extending the symptomless, we think we will pick up a third more cases but more importantly, we will pick them up a day earlier and that of his great opportunity to break

8:20 am
things you have mentioned, they could apply on so many days of the week to so many people. so if you are in that circumstance, you have a bit of a sniff, you feel that way, are you now saying, get the tests? is it that cut and dry? for are you now saying, get the tests? is it that cut and dry?— is it that cut and dry? for sure it could be another— is it that cut and dry? for sure it could be another respiratory i is it that cut and dry? for sure it| could be another respiratory virus that are becoming more common now, and is process now needs to be taken in the round, thinking about how it will effect the bubble, how we will have to change how we manage children in school, there will be more people to for testing because of the viruses are out there. the only real way around that is to increase testing, so we can be sure that what is a common cold and what is covid. that person with covid symptoms without realising it could take it home to grandparents or parents, orto take it home to grandparents or parents, or to the workplace. i'm afraid it is vaccination and testing which is going to be the way out of

8:23 am
syndrome are very low. children with these conditions are recovering. so these conditions are recovering. so the risk of severe harm to children is incredibly low. vaccines are safe, but not entirely risk—free. we are aware perhaps in the adults about clots, there is some safety data from america showing rare heart problems associated with some vaccines. untilthat problems associated with some vaccines. until that data is very complete for children, i'm not persuaded that the risk benefit for children has been clarified. can i aet ou children has been clarified. can i get you to _ children has been clarified. can i get you to clarify _ children has been clarified. can i get you to clarify what _ children has been clarified. can i get you to clarify what you - children has been clarified. can i get you to clarify what you just said there? if i understand you correctly, your position, you are speaking in a private capacity on this morning, your position is that there is not enough evidence that would suggest that vaccinating children is the right thing to do. that's right. from the position of personal health harm, the balance i
8:24 am
think has not swayed positively one way or the other. so i'm not convinced that the evidence base there is strong enough to support vaccination of children, because we don't have complete safety data for the vaccines that we would want to use. the harm to education is a different issue. that has to be thought of on societal terms, but that's not a harm to health. if you are the rare child that suffers the side effect, that could be a side—effect for quite time. missing some school could also affect your life chances, but what you put first, health or education? it becomes a very difficult and you debate. i don't think there is enough evidence at the moment to support vaccinating children. trier? support vaccinating children. very - leased support vaccinating children. very leased to support vaccinating children. very pleased to see — support vaccinating children. very pleased to see you _ support vaccinating children. very pleased to see you here with us, professor, we are very welcoming. i feel like putting you in a box because _ feel like putting you in a box because i'm used to seeing you on

8:26 am
electrical waste every single year in the uk, and the government are trying to clamp down by forcing manufacturers to make parts available. small parts, different components to be available for ten years, so anything on sale from today will then have parts available for the following ten years so you can make small repairs. you can do the fixupjob or get can make small repairs. you can do the fixup job or get someone professional to do it for you, safely, especially if it involves electrical or gas. so rather than throw things away, we make sure we repair more of the goods for use in our household. he's only six, is willie, but he's got a mechanical mind, and he's taken over part of his father's yard as a repair shop for kiddies' bikes, trikes and so on. repairing things might have gone out of fashion for a while. bringing history back to life is what makes the repair shop so special. but it's all the rage again now. it's not a two minute job doing this, so patience is definitely the key. but even if you're wanting to get things repaired at the moment,
8:27 am
whether to save money or save the planet, it's pretty hard to get hold of the right parts that you need to replace things. but from today, things will hopefully start to get a little bit easier. manufacturers of white goods and tvs now have to stock and sell replacement parts of each product for ten years. so would it tempt you to try and repair something? my dishwasher and oven was 15 years old, and ijust replaced both of them. maybe if it's a smaller repair, something that's just £60 or £70, like a small part, like an element in an oven, but over and above that, i wouldn't have thought so. a toaster, kettle, you know, i might even potentially have a look at a hoover. just a very basic repair, yeah, but certainly not on a washer or a cooker, ora tumble dryer. they're so cheap to replace, so ijust probably get - a new one, really. door seals can go, and that's an easy thing that a homeowner can replace themselves. similar with shelves. rob's company has 400 engineers. washing machines are a huge part of our business.
8:28 am
it's what we see day in and day out. making more complex repairs in domestic appliances. these can sometimes come off the runners, quite easily fixable, you just click them back in. but he thinks there's plenty we can try ourselves. it gives customers a choice. we really want consumers to take that opportunity to look at what they need as a repair, whether they can repair it themselves via a small component, or if they need to call somebody out like ourselves. a yougov survey suggests we feel most confident with the hoover. 42% feel comfortable repairing vacuum cleaners. 20% would try patching up a broken toaster. and only ll% would try to fix a gas cooker. in all the statistics, men consistently reported feeling more confident in trying to repair household items than women. but does that mean they do a betterjob? no, not when you've got a partner like me, no. he attempts it but for me, if you've had something for six years, off you pop.

and get a new one. it's removable, you can separate it. it's cheaper to make it in one piece. but we make it like that. the uk's only white goods manufacturer say they knew the legislation was coming, and have already made their machines simpler to mend. the secret of products that are easy to repair and last longer is in the design. you've got to start off by saying, the objective here is to make a product that's going to be reliable, easy to maintain or whatever. you've got to design a product that's difficult to make wrong and easy to repair if it needs to be repaired. even though we now have the right to repair, it's a big cultural shift to convince people to fix things rather than fling them. there was a queue at the gates this morning at 8am when things opened, and already somebody has delivered a

dishwasher which is unwarranted, maybe not able to be repaired or maybe not able to be repaired or maybe just too expensive to repair. tim is the man in charge of what happens to all these products in terms of recycling. a lot of this does not end up in landfill. everything the general public brings to this site gets recycled or repaired. there will be new incentives from the government, part of a wider plan to encourage people to come, with the website, recycle your electricals, to make it easy for people to find a site and bring material here. idols? for people to find a site and bring material here.— for people to find a site and bring material here. ., �* , , ., material here. now there's parts are iioin to material here. now there's parts are going to be — material here. now there's parts are going to be more — material here. now there's parts are going to be more accessible - material here. now there's parts are going to be more accessible for - material here. now there's parts are going to be more accessible for the l going to be more accessible for the general public, they will be more accessible for you as well, some of these things will be repaired? yes. these things will be repaired? yes, we work with _ these things will be repaired? yes, we work with charities, _ these things will be repaired? use: we work with charities, they try to fix them but it's not easy to find parts. it will be easier with the right to repair. there will be a new labelling system from march this year which will make it easier for

8:32 am
good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. a parliamentary inquiry into policing at the sarah everard vigil in march has found there were multiple failings by officers. the met was criticised for being heavy handed during the vigil on clapham common but cleared of any wrongdoing by inspectors. but the all parliamentary group said the right to peaceful protest must be supported, not suppressed by the law. her majesty's inspectorate of constabulary has rejected the findings of the parliamentary group saying its own review found officers acted proportionately. chelsea and westminster hospital has opened a new state—of—the—art expansion to its intensive care unit. the ribbon was cut by three—year—old theo hutton, who was born prematurely at just 23 weeks. the new neonatal intensive care unit will enable the hospital to treat 150 more sick babies every year. some commuters face paying—out over £50 a day more for train travel if they use the new flexible tickets, according to analysis by the labour party.
8:33 am
they found that some would pay more per day if they used the flexible tickets three days a week rather than a traditional annual season ticket. a government spokesperson said most part—time commuters would benefit and that passengers should consider which product best suits their travel pattern. a man from east london, who three years ago achieved the record for oldest climber of the 02 arena at age 97, has beaten his own record by climbing it again on his 100th birthday. harry white scaled the up at the 02 attraction in his wheelchair. i was born in silvertown and i have lived mostly round and about this area all the time. so it was quite nice. the last time i came up, i turned round and said, i'd like to do it if i reach 100. to do it again. and i've done it. let's take a look at the travel situation on the tube now... a good service just minor delays on the circle line.
8:34 am
now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we should see a little bit more in the way of sunshine compared to yesterday. perhaps a little bit of mistiness first thing, but that should start to lift to these decent spells of sunshine. we are at risk of maybe one or two showers. towards end of the afternoon many places staying dry and temperatures 22 celsius, so feeling a little bit more warmth in that sunshine. that shower risk will peter out overnight. dry with some clear spells to start with, but we'll see low cloud and potentially some mist and fog coming up from the south through the night, minimum temperature between 11 and 1a celsius. so it is going to be quite a murky start tomorrow morning. we should still see some sunshine, but we start to notice the influence of this low—pressure system coming in from the atlantic. so the risk of one or two showers. looking to wimbledon for today, we should get a full day's play. a 10% chance of a shower. uv levels are high and the pollen count very high as well, temperatures around 22 celsius as a maximum.
8:35 am
so as we head towards the weekend, that low—pressure system, some showers potentially for friday. but then saturday, spells of rain. and more showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. gethin and janette can tell us what's in store. morning. good morning. coming up on morning live — 94% of uk adults now own a mobile phone, but new research has found nearly two thirds of us are convinced our phones are listening in on our private conversations. so what's the truth? we've been to code—breaking hq, bletchley park to find out. plus, someone we love listening to — dr xand's here. _ today, with news that the nhs have been given the green light - for a covid boosterjab for the over—50s, -

8:37 am
we're speaking to one of its stars — laurie brett — about why she thinks it's become so many people's guilty pleasure. we'll see you at 9.15! thank you both very much. see you later on. princes william and harry will come together today to unveil a statue of their mother, princess diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday. it will be the first time the brothers have seen each other since the funeral of their grandfather, the duke of edinburgh, amid reports of family rift. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. in place, but hidden from view until its unveiling this afternoon. the statue of diana princess of wales will stand here in the sunken garden of kensington palace. it was a favourite location of diana's. over the past two years, the layout of the garden has been redesigned and replanted to create a calmer and more reflective setting for the statue. it was commissioned by princes william and harry to mark the positive impact their mother had
8:38 am
during her life. they've been involved at every stage, to ensure the statue captures their mother in the way they remember her. yesterday, harry, fresh out of self isolation, afterflying in from california, was a surprise guest at a charity event with seriously ill children. another reminder of the kind of work his mother did. today will be filled with emotion for her sons. i think the statue is another form of legacy. it's celebrating everything that she stood for, for the 36 years that she lived. it will capture the thoughts of her sons around her. i think that will be hugely, that will be so meaningful. the statue has been created by sculptor ian rank—broadley. his work, a major part of the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire. he already has a royal connection as well, having designed the image of the queen that appears
8:39 am
on all our coins. oh, my god. get this on camera. you forgot your boots! the days of banter and teasing between william and harry are gone for now, amid family conflict. their relationship remained strained. the tension lingers between them. our british royal family is not supposed to be a perfect family. if somehow out of this split comes some kind of reconciliation, that will presumably hold a lesson for all of us. many around them hope that under the gaze of their mother today, there is a chance of some reconciliation. daniela relph, bbc news. let's now speak to omid scobie, who is the biographer of the duke and duchess of sussex. good morning to you. ijust wonder first of all, it is worth realising for at the moment this is for those

8:43 am
there. but i think carol is on standby with the weather. i am seeing that the sun appears to be shining in and around kensington palace this morning? that is right. it is indeed. good morning. for many of us today it is going to be a pleasant day if you like the sunshine. just a few isolated showers. tomorrow the risk of showers increases. we have an area of low pressure coming our way for the weekend. this morning there is some low cloud, mist and fog around the coasts. inland look at the distinct lack of isobars. not much wind. if you do catch a shower and later it will be slow moving. close to the irish sea coastline we have got some mist and fog. the same across the channel islands. some of this could lap on shore around the coast of england later. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. showers in parts of scotland this afternoon.
8:44 am
the exception rather than the rule. a fine and a dry and a warm day. i want to focus on the north—east of england heading towards the wash. we will have more cloud around and here too it will be thick enough for the odd shower or some drizzle. further west a lot of dry weather. you could catch some showers in wales, south—west england, heading over towards hampshire. some of them could be sharp, again, the exception rather than the rule. temperatures 14 to 21 or 22. a 10% chance of a shower today at wimbledon. this evening and overnight many of the showers will tend to fade. they will be some clear skies. we will also have some mist and fog, particularly around the coastlines. where you do have some breaks in the cloud part of the highlands, across parts of north—east england, temperatures could dip to between seven and 9 degrees. mostly we are staying in double figures. tomorrow, after that
8:45 am
cloudy and murky start, the cloud will break, giving sunshine, that would spark off some showers. they will be more of them around tomorrow than today. some of them in north—east england and south east scotland could be heavy and thundery. 20% risk of a shower in wimbledon tomorrow. highs of 23 degrees. and notice it is not as cloudy along the north sea coastline as today. heading through friday night and into the weekend, you can see the low pressure starting to approach from the south—west. that means first thing on saturday morning it is going to be quite a cloudy and showery picture. some of those showers merging to give longer spells of rain. look out if they spread through the day. moving north eastwards. temperatures 14 to 21 degrees. as for the outlook, well, still a bit of uncertainty around this, but it looks like the low pressure may well stay with us and we could see a new one coming our
8:46 am
way. the early part of the week is looking unsettled. that is a long way off. this forecast could change. back to you. it always does, doesn't it carol? yes, when you look that far in advance, absolutely it can change. now we know. it is going to change. it could change. nothing is written in stone. there's been another major blow for the high street, after clothing retailer gap announced plans to close all 81 of its stores in the uk and ireland. the company will continue to trade online, and hasn't said how many of its staff will be affected by the plans. let's speak now to retail analyst natalie berg, who joins us from outside gap's flagship store on london's oxford street. good morning. a huge name giving up on the high street, yet another one. did you see this one coming? itrefoil.

8:51 am
he took a two sets to one lead. now, hang on, what about the grass? bottom of the screen, murray. oh, no. now, wimbledon spent the day explaining the courts are normal, just need to firm up. was that the end? no. murray played on... ..for worse, or better. roof on, fourth set renaissance. yeah, right there. he does it this time. suddenly, only a power cut would stop him. gentle touch, and then the noise. cheering. was that metal hip now fitted with some kind ofjet engine? oh, that is brilliant! and that is vintage murray again. 6—2 in the fifth, it felt like a win to match any of murray's here. but was that court really only half full? i needed, i needed everyone's help tonight. and, yeah, they did a greatjob. and, yeah, i've hit some great shots at the end to finish it,
8:52 am
but it was a tough match. well, he said it. the hill was first henman's. and if you're here to cheer british players, well, you must remember there are others. there are seeds. a dominant performance from dan evans against dusan lajovic. he's seeded 22 for a reason. life on track, straight sets win. evans into the third round. and that's it. keep waving. the 29th seed, cameron norrie, won today, and he's enjoying an outstanding year. well, we could glimpse court 18 for emma raducanu, not 19 until november. great potential for british tennis. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. 18—year—old emma is another fantastic story. more in a moment with annabel croft. jadon sancho is on england duty at the euros. and it looks as though he's heading for manchester united, who've agreed a deal in principle to sign him from borussia dortmund. it's understood united will pay around £73 million for the winger,
8:53 am
who's still only 21, and who joined the german side from manchester city in 2017. he's been given the go—ahead to discuss personal terms. a controversial managerial appointment, has been confirmed. rafa benitez, the former liverpool boss, has taken over at everton. benitez replaces carlo ancelotti, who left last early last month, and he'll need to win over fans, who took offence when he described everton as a "small club" when he was in charge at liverpool. and tottenham's 72—day search for a new manager is finally over — they've appointed former wolves boss nuno espirito santo. he replaces his portuguese compatriotjose mourinho, who was sacked in april. next to the cricket, and kate cross took five wickets, as england's women beat india by 5 wickets in the second one—day international in taunton. they were chasing 222, and were looking shaky at 133—5. but a composed innings from sophia dunkley saw them home —
8:54 am
