6:02 am
remain deep under the azovstal steelworks in mariupol, alongside ukrainian soldiers. this underworld is the only refuge from russia's siege. on sunday, around 100 civilians managed to get out. they were driven away from the front line. after weeks under assault, there is much to reflect on. often in simple silence. in this same region, a bbc team has made it to the ukrainian town of lysychansk, it's beseiged on three sides by russian forces. this family say they can't afford to flee. nine—year—old masha refuses to be frightened. the sound of the bombs? you're not scared? speaks defiantly. here, ukrainian soldiers recover from their injuries.
6:03 am
the united states says that it believes russia may now make a grab for this entire eastern region of ukraine. according to recent reports, we believe russia will try to annex the donetsk people's republic and the luhansk people's republic, in quotes, so—called, to russia. further west, another ukrainian coastal city, odesa, has been hit by russian missile. it's the second strike on this city since saturday. a 15—year—old boy was killed in this latest attack. how, asked ukraine's president, was this child a threat to the russian state? james reynolds, bbc news. our correspondent joe inwood is in lviv. good to talk to you as ever. any signs of any more evacuations from mariupol? i signs of any more evacuations from mariu ol? ~ , ., ., ,

6:07 am
military kept going as well, stuff or electronic welfare —— warfare, night vision goggles, heavy lifting drawings, specially modified suvs as well to help evacuate civilians. that is on top of the extra military kit announced by the defence secretary in parliament last week. that has led the liberal democrats to question the timing of this announcement on the extra military support being sent to ukraine because it is a couple of days before elections across the uk at the end of the week, and the liberal democrats are saying, if you could announce some military kit last week, why couldn't you announce this last week to parliament? we will get the full text of what boris johnson says and maybe even some video clips later on today. says and maybe even some video clips later on today-— the us supreme court could be about to overturn the nationwide legal right to abortion according to a leaked document. the us website, politico, says it's seen details of a report which states it will strike down the landmark roe versus wade

6:09 am
highly controversial and divisive issue in the united states, abortion, butjust last november, an opinion poll published here reveal that the majority of americans, 62%, were in favour of retaining roe versus wade. wear this to be overturned, opponents say it would effectively end the rights to a abortion for those who do not have the means to travel to a neighbouring state and possibly drive abortion is underground. supporters of overturning roe versus wade contended that abortion is tantamount to murder, they would like to see a nationwide ban on the procedure if the republicans come to power. it is highly unusual for procedure if the republicans come to power. it is highly unusualfor a leak of this kind to emanate from the highest court of the land here. nobody can remember such a thing in the past. it's possible that the justices opinion could be amended,
6:10 am
that has happened before. we will not know until the official document is published sometime in the next few months. is published sometime in the next few months-— few months. thank you for the u date. the parents of madeleine mccann have said it's essential they learn the truth about what happened to their daughter, exactly 15 years after she disappeared from a holiday apartment in the portuguese resort of praia da luz. kate and gerry mccann said that knowledge and certainty would give them strength, but regardless of the outcome of the case, a truly horrific crime had been committed. 12 days ago, prosecutors in portugal said they'd formally identified a german man as a suspect. the time is ten past six, those are the main story is today. let's find that what is happening with the weather, a busy bank holiday yesterday, oh, golf in the background, talk to me! it had to be done! good morning, everybody. a mild start for
6:11 am
everybody. a mild start for everybody except to north—east scotland. there is some mist and fog to watch out for, especially across south—west england and parts of south wales. it will often be cloudy today, there will be some sunshine but in that sometime, that could spark off some heavy showers. anywhere from the midlands north, we are looking for showery outbreaks of rain and drizzle as well and a lot of cloud, breaking across the south—west and wales today which will spark some showers, some of which will be heavy and potentially thundery. these are the temperatures, seven in lerwick, 17 in london. yesterday's top temperature was in lincolnshire at over 18. temperature was in lincolnshire at over18. 0vernight, temperature was in lincolnshire at over 18. 0vernight, a lot of cloud and showers, some rain coming in across the north and the west, some of which will be heavy at times, and some coastal mist and fog in the
6:12 am
same for the hills. it will be mild. the rain will clear east through the day tomorrow, showers following behind but those are largely confined to the far south—east by the in the afternoon and brighter conditions with some sunshine behind, and a little bit warmer. possibly getting up to 20 degrees. thank you. i have got some selfish weather for you later, thank you. i have got some selfish weatherfor you later, i am playing golf tomorrow, around birmingham, i will come back to you later. take our will come back to you later. take your brolly! _ will come back to you later. take your brolly! i— will come back to you later. take your brolly! i don't _ will come back to you later. take your brolly! i don't want - will come back to you later. take your brolly! i don't want to - will come back to you later. take your brolly! i don't want to hear. your brolly! i don't want to hear that! you _ your brolly! i don't want to hear that! you will _ your brolly! i don't want to hear that! you will still _ your brolly! i don't want to hear that! you will still play, - your brolly! i don't want to hear that! you will still play, won't i that! you will still play, won't ou? of that! you will still play, won't you? of course. _ energy company, bp is releasing its financial results this morning for the first three months of the year. nina's here with the details. coming up at 7am. unsurprisingly pressure is building on energy
6:13 am
companies of sharing profits, billions of pounds of profit in energy and people struggling to pay their bills, people question how fair that is. bp will publish their profits for the first quarter of the year at 7am this morning. the last update we had was back in february when the firm announced profits of nearly £10 billion in 2021, its highest in eight years. the success coincided with surging fuel costs as demand for energy grew after the pandemic. this year has seen some of the biggestjumps in fuel costs ever seen, partly worsened by the war in ukraine. in march the average cost for a litre of diesel surged by more than 22 pence to almost £1.80 a litre. petroljumped by more than 11 pence, the biggestjumps for more than a decade. this all comes at a time when households are struggling with food and energy costs too. and with bp again set to announce big profits and shell tipped to do the same later this week,
6:14 am
calls are growing for the government to something. but what? one of the suggestions is a "windfall tax", a one—off payment imposed when a company benefits from events they didn't create, in this case oil and gas price surges. that's something labour has been calling for. it says the money could be used to support households and energy—intensive industries to cope with higher fuel bills. so what's the problem with that? well, energy companies say the more heavily they're taxed the less they'll have to invest in growth and green technology. they also point to the fact that pension funds benefit from their profits too. it's something the conservative government has rejected. although last week rishi sunak last week hinted it may be something he'd consider if he didn't think oil and gas companies were investing enough. we'll get the results at 7am. they are expected to be into the billions profits, and it is natural
6:15 am
to question how fair that is when people are literally struggling with the decision between food and fuel but the businesses are saying, if you take profits now, in the long—term investment, pensions and jobs will suffer. that long-term investment, pensions and jobs will suffer.— jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, 'ust after jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, just after that _ jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, just after that we _ jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, just after that we have - jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, just after that we have the - jobs will suffer. that is at 7am, l just after that we have the leader of the liberal democrats ed davey to react and later on have got keir starmer at 8:30am.— react and later on have got keir starmer at 8:30am. busy programme this morning- — let's take a look at today's papers. an investigation by the times has found that the number of clinical incidents linked to the failure to repair old hospital buildings and faulty equipment has tripled in the past five years. the metro leads on a security probe after it says an intruder posing as a priest was able to infiltrate the barracks at windsor castle and stay the night after pretending to be a friend of the coldstream guards' padre at the base. the guardian features this image of eid celebrations in manchester. thousands are taking part in the three day celebration to mark the end of ramadan. and the news that anne robinson

6:20 am
snowdon, the highest mountain in wales. it is a real challenge for those who are very fit and able. we are going to go up nice and steady. martin hibbert is attempting to get to the top in a wheelchair. right, let's go and have some fun. let's go. martin has a big team around him and a specially modified chair. but you can see and hear the effort as he pushes and pulls himself up the mountain. all i'm thinking about is getting to the top, that's all i'm thinking about. it's like my body almost doesn't feel pain now. felt good, felt good. great stuff, well done. cheers, thank you. ready? martin is buffeted and bashed, jolted by every rock. two, three, up.
6:21 am
this climb up snowdon, a vital test. it is preparation for a much greater challenge to come, and so far, martin's spirits are high. sings from "the lion king". where did that come from? in just a few short weeks, the team will be heading to mount kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa. martin has set up a justgiving page, he hopes to raise money for the charity the sia, the spinal injuries association. i first wanted to do about everest but that was impossible for someone in a wheelchair, i'm still going to check that out. they said the second hardest is kilimanjaro. i said, let's raise a million quid then. a pause, and martin is overcome with emotion. the trauma he suffered over the last
6:22 am
five years is never far away. when a terrorist attacked the manchester arena in 2017, martin was the closest person to the bomber to survive. he was hit by 22 pieces of shrapnel and left paralysed from the waist down. when i was told i wasn't going to walk again, i was really lucky about the help and support and care that i got. i found out that not everybody gets that. and mejust being the person that i am, i was like, right, let's change it. martin's team is made up of expert climbers, friends and medical staff who helped to save his life. martin spent quite a lot of time in intensive care. he nearly died. and he could have died. to see him today doing this five years later, it's just unbelievable. it's just an absolute inspiration for what he's trying to do. and what he's trying to show for spinal injury patients. it is a little red but it's ok.
6:23 am
it's really nice to see him| in this environment doing all these fabulous things, i because i was one of the first people to see him going from just a bed to his very first wheelchair.| so this is absolutely incredible i that he is doing this for the sia. the team reach the steepest part of the mountain with the toughest terrain and martin is determined to keep going. people walking down here today, they're looking at me and it's almost like tom and jerry, like, mouth drop moment, you know what i mean? and you could see they are like brilliant, well done. because they are struggling. this is what i want to do now, change people's perception of disability.
6:24 am
with the right team around you, i can do anything i want to do. after a real struggle with the mountain, martin is close to the top but there's a problem. it's really gutsy and very, very strong. james has gone over as well. i'll have a chat with martin and see how he's feeling. dave, one of the safety advisors, is really worried. if i can, i want to get there but i'm not going to risk injury or friends injury to do it. so i'll listen to you guys. but i feel i can do it but i'm not putting anyone's life or, at injury. the team take a moment. it is heartbreaking not to reach the top but the wind is vicious. obviously, disappointing not to get to the summit but really proud of what we've done. obviously, to get this point. so really happy, and, yeah, i think it given us all a big boost
6:25 am
i think it's given us all a big boost for kilimanjaro now so yeah, bring it on. martin makes his way back down. kilimanjaro is more than five times higher than snowdon. there are bigger battles to come. he's an amazing man. i know he has sat on this so for a number of times but watching that, the people helping him, one thing they have all said, once martin spent a lot of time in intensive care and in the trauma unit and doing all the physiotherapy and the physical therapy, he always would go back, to say hello and i'm ok, but the check—in and everybody else and that is why they are with him. they use martin's story to inspire other people in the spinal injury unit to say, this guy was basically dead, he
6:26 am
lost so much blood, there was almost no way he could survive. and they were just waiting for him to die at one point and now he is climbing mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration- — mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration. and _ mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration. and the _ mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration. and the people - mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration. and the people who i mountains. he is incredible. such an inspiration. and the people who are| inspiration. and the people who are with him are so important to that. he said, with my team, i can do anything. he said, with my team, i can do an hina. , ., anything. the fact they did not get to the summit _ anything. the fact they did not get to the summit will _ anything. the fact they did not get to the summit willjust _ anything. the fact they did not get to the summit willjust drive i anything. the fact they did not get to the summit willjust drive him l anything. the fact they did not get l to the summit willjust drive him on to the summit willjust drive him on to get to the top of kilimanjaro. thank you. graham satchell with that report and a reminder martin is raising money for the spinal injuries association. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. cast members of the west end production of cinderella say they're their heartbroken after finding out the musical has been cancelled via social media. andrew lloyd webber�*s show will end on 12thjune, but some cast members said they read the news online before
6:27 am
being told themselves. just to sort of bring humanity into it, of how actors feel pretty much on the daily, and how things are, how business is conducted in our industry, is not normal. the really useful group, which puts on the production, told the bbc every effort was made to ensure people were notified before the announcement. more than 20 gym owners who were accused of breaching covid rules have had their fines overturned in court. the crown prosecution service says it considered each case on invididual merit and will prosecute whenever its legal test is met. but a london—based law firm has said its successfully defended all but two of its 25 clients facing these fines in the past 18 months. the biggest issue here is about the enforcement of the legislation itself.

it hasn't been dealt with in the correct fashion and the law hasn't been followed. and for that reason, it's been quite easy to recognise where there have been problems and failings in the enforcement and prosecution of these types of cases. guy 5 and st thomas' hospital trust and its volunteers have shipped huge quantities of vital medical supplies to ukraine to help with the war effort. some 150 pallets of gloves and theatre gowns, as well as bandages, sanitisation materials and other essential items have arrived safely in ukrainian hospitals. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. the chance of a few showers a bit later on through the day but to begin with it is a mostly dry start. there is plenty of low cloud around, though, and some of that cloud is producing a bit of light drizzle
6:29 am
here and there. it is quite a misty and murky start to the day but it's also mild. temperatures generally in high single figures. we will keep those layers of cloud as we head throughout the morning but into the afternoon we could see some brighter skies develop. watch out for one or two showers being triggered off by that brightness, perhaps a little bit of sunshine here and there. and then those showers could continue on into the evening for a few of us as well. temperatures tend to be a bit lower than yesterday. overnight, the showers are gradually clearing away, it will be another mild start to the day on wednesday. a few more showers in the forecast, potentially, on wednesday, but also some sunny spells and temperatures start to climb. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in as we head through thursday, which is looking dry, and there will be more sunshine on offer. temperatures likely to climb as high as perhaps 20 or 21 celsius by the time we get to the end of the working week. 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.

6:40 am
judd trump 18—13 at the crucible to match his seven world titles. the rocket said he's share the record with him for a year, because he's coming back for more. joe lynskey reports. cheering. in any sport it's rare for one man to be this good for so long. ronnie o'sullivan is snooker�*s winning machine. and yet still human. still after 21 years it means this much. ronnie o'sullivan! his first world title was in 2001. there's been changing styles and opponents but through it all he's box office. now o'sullivan has won it seven times, a joint record with stephen hendry, who back in the �*90s was dominant, but this is ronnie's time. he's taken the snooker to new heights, and i'm actually surprised it's taken him so long to get to seven. that's how good he is. this year o'sullivan has been relentless. in this final he faced in judd trump, who is an entertainer, too, and had fought back from seven frames down to just three,
6:41 am
but it was always too much. o'sullivan was trump's boyhood idol, and though there's 14 years between them, one man is still dominant. at 46, o'sullivan is now the oldest world champion. i tried to be as relaxed as i could but it wasjust... that's probably my greatest result i've ever had, to be honest with you. again someone likejudd. applause. i don't know if it's a good idea but we'll probably go again next year... cheering. you won't see the likes of it again, you simply won't. you won't see anybody like him again. i mean, he's the best player i have ever seen in my life. it's on another level to everyone who has played this game. the longevity that he is shown has been incredible because it didn't happen for me, didn't happen for stephen hendry, so i think it's remarkable what he has achieved. o'sullivan first played in the crucible 30 years ago, and he is still the hottest ticket. still going for more records and redefining what is possible in your 405. joe lynskey, bbc news.

some great pictures and some great hairstyles! tale of two ronnies last night, cristiano ronaldo scoring as manchester united beat brentford and he was told at 37 he can still be a big part of the club's future. he scored a penalty in a 3—0 win over brentford. and with a lot of upheaval expected at united over the summer, the current manager said why shouldn't ronaldo remain? there were protests ahead of the match and some banners during aimed at the owners — a nod to a disappointing season and the feeling amongst fans. stark contrast to the mood as fulham secured the championship title in style. 7—0 they beat luton, and how about this for a goals tally, alexander mitrovic with his 43rd in 45 games. that breaks the record for goals scored in a single season. promotion to the premier league nothing new for fulham, this though their first league title in 21 years. liverpool are 90 minutes away from the champions league final and with it a step closer

6:47 am
thundery. —— that will spark off some showers. the other thing today is the pollen levels are high in wales and southern england but for the rest of the uk they are either low or moderate. this evening and overnight a fair bit of cloud with one or two showers and then at weather front comes in from the west bringing some rain, sometimes heavy as it pushes slowly eastwards. it won't be a cold night, between 6-11 c. won't be a cold night, between 6—11 c. here is that said weather front which continues to move eastward through wednesday. another one following hot on its heels and bumping into that high pressure. so it is fairly weak. that rain moving eastwards followed by some heading southwards. by the afternoon that but mostly become find to the far south—eastern quarter but it could be heavy in south—eastern england
6:48 am
and you might hear the odd rumble of thunder but at the west will brighten up. with sunny intervals. from wednesday into thursday, this area of high pressure is building from south still some weather fronts or at the top of it but dragging in the mild air across the whole of the uk. highest temperatures in the south but temperatures generally higher than they have been across the country. dry and sunny weather to start with in england and wales, more cloud in the afternoon and weather fronts across the top of that to bring in some rain at times across parts of scotland and northern ireland. 10 celsius in lerwick to 21 in the south—east, what a 22 if we hang on to the sunshine before the cloud built in. friday, various weather fronts moving southwards, taking the cloud and rain with them, some sunshine in between, the wind is becoming more north—westerly to something fresher

across northern part of scotland. further south across the rest of the country are still some warm conditions and temperatures reaching around 28 celsius in london. thank you very much for that, carol. we'll see you after seven o'clock. in northern ireland, campaigning is under way ahead of the election to the devolved assembly at stormont on thursday. the power—sharing government all but collapsed in february — and there's uncertainty about whether it will return following political tensions between unionists and nationalists. our ireland correspondent chris page has been speaking to supporters at a football game in belfast. politics in northern ireland can often seem as if it's one side against the other, and winner takes all. but events like this are breaking down barriers between communities, bringing together unionists and nationalists, protestants and catholics. the other team scored and the home team's cheering them. that's what it's about. limestone united from belfast
6:50 am
are playing hammerstown fc from dublin in the first—ever star of the sea cup. it's been organised by raymond mccord, who's son was murdered by the loyalist group the uvf. the competition is named after the cross—community club which raymond played for when the conflict broke out. this is the star of the sea team from 1969. there was never any talk of which one was protestant and which one was catholic. all footballers, that's what it should be. among them, was bobby sands, whojoined the ira. a few of the lads in the team joined the uvf. paramilitary violence has much reduced since the 1990s. but the power—sharing devolved government at stormont has often been shaky. unfortunately we have people still in this country like they live in 1969. if one side is doing well, the other side wants to pull stormont down.
6:51 am
limestone united has footballers from both sides of the old divide. they want a future with more interplay. it's better to see people who are protestants and catholics come together instead of fighting each other. i'd like to see more people come together and just put an end to all that and be respectful. teamwork comes naturally to successful sports people, so what would they like northern ireland to be? from my own point of view, i'm a mum and i'm still playing sport to the highest level that i can and i would just like to see that continue and for more people to come out and join the sport and for the facility to be there to do that. i would like to see legislation, policies and decisions that benefit everyone, and no matter what you believe in. and sports stars of the past say peace shouldn't be taken for granted.

cast members of the west end production of cinderella say they're heartbroken after finding out the musical has been cancelled via social media. andrew lloyd webber�*s show will end on 12june, but some cast members said they read the news online before being told themselves. just to sort of bring humanity into it, of how actors feel pretty much on the daily, and how things are, how business is conducted in our industry, is not normal. the really useful group, which puts on the production, told the bbc every effort was made to ensure people were notified before the announcement. more than 20 gym owners, who were accused of breaching covid rules, have had theirfines overturned in court. the crown prosecution service says it considered each case on invididual merit and will prosecute whenever its legal test is met.
6:58 am
but a london—based law firm has said its successfully defended all but two of its 25 clients facing these fines in the past 18 months. the biggest issue here is about the enforcement of the legislation itself. it hasn't been dealt with in the correct fashion and the law hasn't been followed. and for that reason, it's been quite easy to recognise where there have been problems and failings in the enforcement and prosecution of these types of cases. the retailerjohn lewis has said it's creating more roles in engineering and delivery driving as part of investment in its online services. the department store that also owns the supermarket waitrose, said 150 roles would be created. it comes after the company cutjobs in its high street stores. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's just minor delays on the dlr at the moment. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning.
6:59 am
the chance of a few showers a bit later on through the day but to begin with it is a mostly dry start. there is plenty of low cloud around, though, and some of that cloud is producing a bit of light drizzle here and there. it is quite a misty and murky start to the day but it's also mild. temperatures generally in high single figures. we will keep those layers of cloud as we head throughout the morning but into the afternoon we could see some brighter skies develop. watch out for one or two showers being triggered off by that brightness, perhaps a little bit of sunshine here and there. and then those showers could continue on into the evening for a few of us as well. temperatures tend to be a bit lower than yesterday. overnight, the showers are gradually clearing away, it will be another mild start to the day on wednesday. a few more showers in the forecast, potentially, on wednesday, but also some sunny spells and temperatures start to climb. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in as we head through thursday, which is looking dry, and there will be more sunshine on offer. temperatures likely to climb as high as perhaps 20 or 21 celsius by the time we get to the end
7:00 am
of the working week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. our headlines today. attempts to evacuate civilians from a steel plant in the beseiged ukrainian city of mariupol are due to re—start this morning, as the russian bombardment intesifies. protests in america, as a leaked document suggests that the us supreme court could be
7:01 am
about to overturn the nationwide legal right to abortion. bumper profits expected for bp. we get he oil and gas company's results in the next few minutes. but as more and more families face fuel poverty, pressure grows for energy companies to pay more tax. magnificent seven for ronnie o'sullivan who equals stephen hendry�*s record of world snooker titles and says he's coming back for more. also this morning, we meet the amateur runner who turned up to do a 10k in london yesterday and ended up beating sir mo farah. mist and fog to watch out for but a mild and cloudy start with rain and drizzle, where the cloud breaks and the sun comes out we will see some heavy showers developed especially in the south and west. all of the details through the rest of the programme. it's tuesday 3rd may.
7:02 am
the un and red cross hope to oversee the evacuation of another group of civilians from a steel works plant in mariupol. there are hundreds of people still trapped inside the azovstal bunkers, including dozens of young children. ukrainian forces defending the site say russia is using planes, tanks and warship missiles to continue its bombardment. james reynolds has this report. imagine having to make your home in the depths of a nuclear bunker. hundreds of civilians, including about 20 children, remain deep under the azovstal steelworks in mariupol, alongside ukrainian soldiers. this underworld is their only refuge from russia's siege. on sunday, around 100 civilians managed to get out. they were driven away from the front line. after weeks under assault, there is much to reflect on. often in simple silence.
7:03 am
in this same region, a bbc team has made it to the ukrainian town of lysychansk, it's beseiged on three sides by russian forces. this family say they can't afford to flee. nine—year—old masha refuses to be frightened. the sound of the bombs? you're not scared? speaks defiantly. here, ukrainian soldiers recover from their injuries. the united states says that it believes russia may now make a grab for this entire eastern region of ukraine. according to recent reports, we believe russia will try to annex the donetsk people's republic and the luhansk people's republic, in quotes, so—called, to russia. further west, another ukrainian coastal city, odesa, has been hit by a russian missile. it's the second strike on this
7:04 am
city since saturday. a is—year—old boy was killed in this latest attack. how, asked ukraine's president, was this child a threat to the russian state? james reynolds, bbc news. let's go now to our reporter jenny hill who is in moscow. good morning. what can you tell us about russia preparing to have a vote on independence in occupied ukrainian territory?— ukrainian territory? well, this is cominu ukrainian territory? well, this is coming from _ ukrainian territory? well, this is coming from the _ ukrainian territory? well, this is coming from the americans - ukrainian territory? well, this is coming from the americans who ukrainian territory? well, this is - coming from the americans who say they have got intelligence, although it is backed up by reports circulating here, that moscow is planning to hold referendums on independence or perhaps even joining russia in three parts of ukraine. luhansk and donny x, which are self—proclaimed pro—russian breakaway people's republics, but
7:05 am
also the region of kerr's —— in kherson, where russia has introduced the rouble alongside the local currency and is open to phase out ukrainian currency in these are unconfirmed reports but they have been circulating for some time. that fits in to what we assume to be vladimir putin's game to cover his stated aim, to take the donbas region which has donetsk and luhansk. but this kherson region, it suggests that they want to bring as much land as possible under the russian orbit. i have been speaking about the increasingly aggressive tone and rhetoric coming out of moscow and we have seen a lot more that in recent days. i want to bring you up—to—date with some developments we had over the
7:06 am
weekend. ford to hostages, three said to be fighters fighting on the ukrainian side —— for british hostages, have been paraded on state tv. tv host in an extraordinary outburst over the weekend threatened that russia could destroy britain in a nuclear attack. and we have had a rather extraordinary statement which caused international outrage from the foreign minister here who said that hitler had jewish ancestry and the most rabid anti—semites were jewish people themselves. the tone in moscow is not at all diminishing, if anything, getting far more aggressive. boris johnson will announce a further £300 million worth of military aid for ukraine, when he makes a speech to the country's parliament via videolink later.
7:07 am
we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. what do we expect the prime minister to say later? the what do we expect the prime minister to say later?— to say later? the operational details of _ to say later? the operational details of this _ to say later? the operational details of this address - to say later? the operational details of this address to - to say later? the operational details of this address to the | details of this address to the ukrainian parliament to video link have been kept secret presumably to protect the safety of ukrainian mps. we have had a hint from downing street about what the prime minister is going to say, he will talk about this being ukraine's finest hour, an obvious quotation from winston churchill at the height of the second world war. he talked about that famous phrase, that is echoing the quotations of churchill, that president zelensky of ukraine used when he addressed the british parliament by video link a couple of weeks ago. we will get more details about what the prime minister says after he has said it. this address is going to be accompanied by its new military kit up to £300 million, lots of electronic warfare stuff, kit for charming russian gps,
7:08 am
mapping signals, ——jamming it, drones that can carry big payloads and vehicles that can be used for evacuating civilians from trouble spots. the liberal democrats say the prime minister has been quite cynical because that military aid could have been announced last week when parliament was sitting and not a couple of days before elections in the uk. a senior uk source from the government said that that accusation was cynical because the ukrainians chose when the speech would be done and the kit is advanced on a weekly basis. the us supreme court could be about to overturn the nationwide legal right to abortion, according to a leaked document. protests are being held in washington, after the us website, politico, says it's seen details of a report which states it will strike down the landmark roe versus wade ruling which legalised terminations across america.
7:09 am
david willis is in los angeles. hugely significant, potentially, of course, if the leak is genuine and it is the majority opinion of the justices on the highest court in the land, basically concluding that that landmark legislation roe versus wade passed in 1973 which establishes a woman's constitutional right to an abortion should be overturned. as well as that, it also seeks to put abortion laws in this country firmly back in the grasp of state lawmakers and deny women of the constitutional right of such a procedure. it is a highly controversial and divisive issue in the united states, abortion, butjust last november, an opinion poll published here revealed that the majority of americans, 62%, were in favour of retaining roe versus wade. were this to be overturned,
7:10 am
opponents say it would effectively end the right to abortion for those who do not have the means to travel to a neighbouring state and possibly drive abortions underground. supporters of overturning roe versus wade contend that abortion is tantamount to murder, they would like to see a nationwide ban on the procedure if the republicans come to power. it is highly unusualfor a leak of this kind to emanate from the highest court of the [and here. nobody can remember such a thing in the past. it's possible that the justices' opinion could be amended, that has happened before. we will not know until the official document is published sometime in the next few months. the parents of madeleine mccann have said it's essential they learn the truth about what happened to their daughter, exactly 15 years after she disappeared from a holiday
7:11 am
apartment in the portuguese resort of praia da luz. kate and gerry mccann said that knowledge and certainty would give them strength, but regardless of the outcome of the case, a truly horrific crime had been committed. 12 days ago, prosecutors in portugal said they'd formally identified a german man as a suspect. post office workers at 114 branches, which are directly owned by the company, are going on strike in a dispute over pay. the crown post offices will close for 2h hours, and there will be no cash deliveries or collections from more than 11,000 sub—post offices around the uk. the communication workers union says a 2% pay offer is not enough to keep up with rapid increases in the cost of living. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. i mentioned the golf that i am playing, and playing in the british masters programme at the belfry. he: has mentioned it again!

7:13 am
cloud will break in wales and south—west england towards the south—eastern corner as well, and as it does so and temperatures rise, that will spark some heavy showers. sevenin that will spark some heavy showers. seven in the north to 17 in the south. this evening and overnight there will be showers around and do some cloud and a new weather front coming in from the west will take its rain east, some will be heavy but as a result it is not going to be a cold night. the rain moving from the west to east, and other weather front bringing some rain as well, not particularly heavy, fragmenting so dan is going to get wet tomorrow. the summer, behind that. �* , , . . wet tomorrow. the summer, behind that. �* ,, . ., ., wet tomorrow. the summer, behind that. ~ ,, . ., ., ., wet tomorrow. the summer, behind that. ., ., , , that. appreciate that, not the best news but i will _ that. appreciate that, not the best news but i will enjoy _ that. appreciate that, not the best news but i will enjoy it _ that. appreciate that, not the best news but i will enjoy it anyway. - energy company bp has just announced its profits for the first quarter of the year.
7:14 am
nina is here with the details. is it isita is it a straightforward picture? no, it is complicated because bp have had to write off a big chunk of money, they were involved in a russian oil and gas company which pulled out, so the spreadsheet is not looking great but they are looking at underlying profits, how well they are doing in selling their products. profit in the first three months of the year were £5 billion. part of that is because as we know, during lockdown, we stop using oil and gas and then all of a sudden we started using it at the same time so their commodity became very scarce very quickly and that pushes up prices. then came the invasion of ukraine by russia and because of worries about that supply of oil and gas, prices went up. there are big questions around fairness, should they be making billions of pounds of profits when we know that families have already seen energy bills go up
7:15 am
by 50%, inflation at 7%, people are struggling. then there comes a question about the windfall tax, but when you look at their profits, they say they are going to spend 18 billion on investing in green energy. why have they said that? they are going to spend that money but the chancellor has said he needs to see that they are investing in green energy or potentially they could get a windfall tax, which is something they are benefiting from something they are benefiting from something they are benefiting from something they do not contribute to, the surge in prices was because of good fortune rather than good business. bp has said, the chancellor has told them if they invest in green energy they do not have to pay a windfall tax. we will have to pay a windfall tax. we will have to pay a windfall tax. we will have to wait to see if that caveat works. . ~ have to wait to see if that caveat works. ., ~ , ., have to wait to see if that caveat works. ., ~' , ., , have to wait to see if that caveat works. ., ~ i. , . et�*s get some more reaction now to those record profits from bp, with liberal democrat
7:16 am
leader, sir ed davey. good morning. we havejust heard the latest from nina explaining those numbers, your reaction to that news? it confirms what liberal democrats have said all along that there needs to be a windfall tax on these super profits of the oil and gas companies. people across the country, millions of families and pensioners are really struggling to pay their heating bills, energy bills, and motoring costs. we need them to have a tax cut, the liberal democrats are arguing for a vat cut were £600 to the average family which will be funded because of a windfall tax on the oil of gas companies. it is a fair tax system and i do not know why the conservatives are unwilling to have a fairness and help people who are struggling. we a fairness and help people who are strunlinu. ~ ., a fairness and help people who are stru: culin. ~ ., ., a fairness and help people who are strunlinu. ~ ., ., �* a fairness and help people who are strulllain. ~ ., ., �* struggling. we heard from bp in the last few moments _ struggling. we heard from bp in the last few moments that _ struggling. we heard from bp in the last few moments that they - struggling. we heard from bp in the last few moments that they are - last few moments that they are proposing that they may invest 18 billion pounds, we are talking about

these vast profits, do you see how these vast profits, do you see how the potential of a windfall tax might put the investment under threat? i might put the investment under threat? . , might put the investment under threat? ., , ., threat? i was involved in getting hu a e threat? i was involved in getting huge amounts — threat? i was involved in getting huge amounts of _ threat? i was involved in getting huge amounts of investment - threat? i was involved in getting huge amounts of investment in l huge amounts of investment in britain's renewable sector when i was secretary of state for energy and climate change and i can tell you it is a huge number of people who want to invest in britain's renewable sector. we don't necessarily rely on bp or shell or any of the other oil and gas company for that investment. the reality is, we need to help for millions of families and pensioners now. the cost of living emergency is really severe. liberal democrats are saying today that the voters out there have got 48 hours to send a clear message to the government that they need to do far more. the government has no plan at all, it doesn't seem to care about these millions of people who are struggling with their heating bills. here is a source of money from the oil and gas companies,
7:18 am
which they were not expecting, these profits, they are completely unexpected. it is a windfall and we should do some of this money to give a big tax cut to people who are struggling. we a big tax cut to people who are struggling-— a big tax cut to people who are strutt|.tin.~ ., ,, ., struggling. we will talk about the elections in _ struggling. we will talk about the elections in a _ struggling. we will talk about the elections in a moment _ struggling. we will talk about the elections in a moment but - struggling. we will talk about the elections in a moment but let's i struggling. we will talk about the i elections in a moment but let's talk about what the lib dems would do, the cost of gas and electric is expected to be £38 billion more than in the previous year. the windfall tax would raise 5 billion, it's actually not going to make such a great difference, it's not enough. we have actually said it would raise over £10 billion and we have added to the fact that the vat receipts are 9 billion up because of inflation, there is a significant chunk of money and that would fund our huge vat tax cut which costs 18 billion. we have done the sums and we are clear that it is completely affordable to give families and pensioners across the country are really big tax cut. that stands in
7:19 am
contrast to the conservatives. people struggling with these high bills, conservatives put taxes up, 15 times, very unfair. i don't really understand it. it seems to be that the conservatives are totally out of touch with whether it is going on with families around the country. —— with what is going on. it's really important that people understand what the speeds, we are throwing a lot of nubs out there. i want to read this to you. you —— numbers out there. you say that income tax and tax rises will leave families £535 per year worse off, labour claims it is over two and a half thousand pounds, but the obr estimate is closer to £800, what is right and can you understand why people are confused and overwhelmed about this? , , about this? sometimes the figures start in different _ about this? sometimes the figures start in different periods _ about this? sometimes the figures start in different periods so - about this? sometimes the figures start in different periods so it - about this? sometimes the figures start in different periods so it is . start in different periods so it is difficult to compare and i get people will be confused. what is not
7:20 am
confusing is the fact that the conservatives are putting taxes up time and time again. liberal democrats have said, you can afford if you take the right measures to have a much fairer system to help families pensioners that is affordable but may need to be some tough decisions and the conservatives don't seem to be willing to take them. they gave in the last budget a tax cut for banks. why are they refusing to put a wimple tax on the oil and gas companies? cutting tax on banks, and not helping millions of families and pensioners in the way that liberal democrats are arguing for? it's as if borisjohnson doesn't care about ordinary people who are struggling. let's talk a little bit about thursday. what is a good day on thursday. what is a good day on thursday for the liberal democrats? i have been speaking to a lot of people up and down the country and what struck me is how many lifelong conservative voters are really fed up conservative voters are really fed up with borisjohnson and the
7:21 am
conservatives. we saw that last year in the chesham and amersham by—election where the liberal democrats beat the conservatives in true blue bedfordshire, and another seatin true blue bedfordshire, and another seat in rural north shropshire which had been conservative 200 years were taken by the liberal democrats. we heard on the doorstep that they are fed up with the tories because of the cost of living crisis, and the fact that they are not doing anything, but also on the nhs. we have got a shortage of gps, dentists, nurses and cancer specialists. the conservatives promised they would find people to do this work in the nhs and they have broken that promise. lifelong conservatives are turning away from them and going to the liberal democrats. i don't know what it will meet on thursday, i'm confident we will make progress but i would not like to say the size of that, there is a good reason we are saying, we
7:22 am
are not going to take voters for granted. they feel on the doorstep that the conservatives had taken them for granted.— them for granted. there is a by election coming _ them for granted. there is a by election coming up _ them for granted. there is a by election coming up in _ them for granted. there is a by election coming up in tiverton, j election coming up in tiverton, would you be willing to stand aside if you felt that labour could take the seat? ~ , ,., , if you felt that labour could take the seat? ~ ,,., , ., the seat? absolutely not, the liberal democrats _ the seat? absolutely not, the liberal democrats will - the seat? absolutely not, the liberal democrats will be - the seat? absolutely not, the liberal democrats will be the | liberal democrats will be the challenges in tiverton huntington. we have got a great legacy of success across the southwest. we have showed in the north rupture by—election that we are winning votes from lifelong conservatives in rural communities. but labour came second, not you, they have a better chance. we came third in north _ they have a better chance. we came third in north shropshire _ they have a better chance. we came third in north shropshire and - they have a better chance. we came third in north shropshire and we - third in north shropshire and we wonder in north rupture. —— then we wonder in north rupture. —— then we won in north shropshire. we were actually very close in recent times, in the last few elections, we were within 2000 votes in 1997 of winning that seat. liberal democrats have a strong record in devon and i think

with the cost of living at the nhs, we will find a lot of lifelong conservatives fed up with boris johnson and his sleaze and scandal, switching to the liberal democrats. thank you, sir ed davey. i think that was in no other pact question. we will be talking to the trade secretary later on and keir starmer will be here later on. in recent weeks, we've been marking the 40th anniversary of the falklands war and speaking to some of the veterans who were there. the welsh guards suffered some of the heaviest losses, and one of the regiment, tim rees, photographed the conflict. he's been talking to our reporterjordan davies. that's my mother saying goodbye to me before i boarded the qe2. and it's always, yeah, i always tear up when i think about it because she was a lovely, lovely lady. i honestly believed that a diplomatic solution was going to be found and i was going to get a suntan on the qe2. that's what i thought.
7:25 am
it wasn't to be. this was tim's war through his lens. that is tony mannings. so i shared a shells crate with him. and it wasjust a look in his eye, i'm so glad i got that shot. we were in a minefield, we had been targeted with mortar and artillery but honestly, both me and tony, we looked at each other, and we thought, this is it. thinking the next one is going to land on us. i think we literally did say, "this is it". thinking, i don't want to die here. i don't want to die here. tim swapped between his rifle and his camera in the falklands. capturing the drama, the camaraderie, and sorrow of a conflict never far from his thoughts. a conflict that took his best friend, mark, who died when the sir galahad ship was bombed. there is one photograph
7:26 am
and in the distance there's a curl of smoke. and that, in the distance, is the galahad, and tristan, burning. and then you see skyhawks looping across the sky. and i'm aiming at the pilot pumping rounds through, and he goes directly over head, probably not much higher than this ceiling at the moment and then we see the smoke in the distance. and i thought, goodness, they have obviously bombed some ships. and my first thought was, god, mark, i hope you weren't on there, mate. he was. that was tough. we knew, i think we knew. because we were always, we were waiting for the rest of them to join us. and, yeah, we knew. we knew, our guys were on that ship. that was a tough one. tim has now dedicated much of his professional life to chronicling the falklands war. these images, after the fighting, of their very ownjune 25 christmas day, have never been seen publicly before.
7:27 am
this is the boys skiing in port stanley a couple of weeks after the war, after the white flag had gone up. all relaxing a bit now. these are welsh guards, yeah, these are friends of mine. these skis appeared from somewhere, and some of the guys could obviously ski. i couldn't, but i'm doing photographs anyway. but, no, i think they are skiing down the roads, and just having a bit of fun. getting back to normality, if you like. so this is christmas day on the 25th ofjune. tim's diaries were turned into this screenplay about the welsh guards. he's written his memoirs and several novels. he says the writing is cathartic. it has helped. you have spoken about this need for revenge, and the demons that have been with you then you have also spoken about how cathartic the creative process has been for you. how important has creating the films, capturing the images,
7:28 am
writing your story, been for you? because of the boys, i had to talk about it. writing in sights, my memoir, i had to really relive my moments and remember them and try and put them in some kind of context and that is cathartic. one of the problems is i think for the guys who have ptsd is that they don't talk about it. maybe they haven't had the opportunity to talk about it, maybe they don't know how to talk about it. but the falklands was such an intense experience, that has coloured my whole life, i suppose. as a soldier tim returned from the falklands. as a documentarian, he is remembering those who did not. jordan davis, bbc news. incredible photographs in that story. incredible photographs in that sto . . , incredible photographs in that sto . ., , incredible photographs in that sto . ., story. captured some remarkable moments there. _ time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. cast members of the west end production cinderella say they're their heartbroken after finding out the musical has been cancelled via social media. andrew lloyd webber�*s show will end on 12thjune, but some cast members said they read the news online before being told themselves. just to sort of bring humanity into it, of how actors feel pretty much on the daily, and how things are, how business is conducted in our industry, is not normal. the really useful group, which puts on the production, told the bbc every effort was made to ensure people were notified before the announcement.
7:30 am
more than 20 gym owners who were accused of breaching covid rules have had their fines overturned in court. the crown prosecution service says it considered each case on invididual merit and will prosecute whenever its legal test is met. but a london—based law firm has said its successfully defended all but two of its 25 clients facing these fines in the past 18 months. the biggest issue here is about the enforcement of the legislation itself. it hasn't been dealt with in the correct fashion and the law hasn't been followed. and for that reason, it's been quite easy to recognise where there have been problems and failings in the enforcement and prosecution of these types of cases. guy 5 and st thomas' hospital trust and its volunteers have shipped huge quantities of vital medical supplies to ukraine to help with the war effort. some 150 pallets of gloves and theatre gowns, as well as bandages, sanitisation materials and other essential items have arrived safely in ukrainian hospitals.
7:31 am
well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now... onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. the chance of a few showers a bit later on through the day but to begin with it is a mostly dry start. there is plenty of low cloud around, though, and some of that cloud is producing a bit of light drizzle here and there. it is quite a misty and murky start to the day but it's also mild. temperatures generally in high single figures. we will keep those layers of cloud as we head throughout the morning but into the afternoon we could see some brighter skies develop. watch out for one or two showers being triggered off by that brightness, perhaps a little bit of sunshine here and there. and then those showers could continue on into the evening for a few of us as well. temperatures tend to be a bit lower than yesterday. overnight, the showers are gradually clearing away, it will be another mild start
7:32 am
to the day on wednesday. a few more showers in the forecast, potentially, on wednesday, but also some sunny spells and temperatures start to climb. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in as we head through thursday, which is looking dry, and there will be more sunshine on offer. temperatures likely to climb as high as perhaps 20 or 21 celsius by the time we get to the end of the working week. that's it from me for now. time to pass you back to sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. energy company bp has just announced £5 billion underlying profit for the first quarter of the year — it comes at a time when living standards are facing the biggest sqeeze in 50 years. we're joined now by the international trade secretary, anne—marie trevelyan. thank you for being with us. can we start with those huge underlying profits for bp? we talk a lot on
7:33 am
this programme, i know mps are asked about the cost of living crisis a lot as well, surely profits on that scale, underlying profit of about £5 billion, should be reinvested to help those struggling with the cost of living. is this were a windfall tax would help? the announcement toda , i've tax would help? the announcement today. i've not _ tax would help? the announcement today, i've not seen _ tax would help? the announcement today, i've not seen the _ tax would help? the announcement today, i've not seen the detail- tax would help? the announcement today, i've not seen the detail but l today, i've not seen the detail but it indicates epeat�*s profits will enable them to continue today what is an enormous transition programme towards clean energy, they've been one of the leading companies, i work for that closely with them and others as they transition and invest and therefore need profits to invest in their new energies of the future. we also, an extra 10% tax on our energy companies already over and above other businesses, the reality is if we strip away at their profits, we will not be able to do what is the most important thing, to
7:34 am
invest in those clean energies of that future which will also enable us to come away from our reliance on foreign energy, as part of the prime minister's national energy security and if you just ate few weeks ago, he set out very clearly the commitment we are making not only to the support system is a chance that has brought in, £9 billion worth, but to make sure we transition as quickly as possible for our own energy security and also to lead the way and i can help take british expertise to that rest of the world so we can tackle the climate challenge we all face.

7:37 am
about when i was much younger and i was, as i put it, pinned up against the wall by our then mp who thought he had some sort of right to help himself, which he did not. somebody asked me why didn't you do put it, and i thought about it really hard and, in my own head at the time it was, i got away from this creep, that was a victory and at the time that was a victory and at the time that was a victory and at the time that was enough because at least i had escaped anything worse. that is not good enough but these new systems ensure young men and women who are suffering from what is an abuse of power by that very small minority of men in parliament who are thinking that they can get away with this stuff, we need to make sure that punishment becomes a real deterrent. so those young people who are suffering from this bad behaviour, know that stepping up and being brave enough to say, this happened to me, will notjeopardise

7:39 am
male colleagues have been in touch over the weekend have been as qualified as we all are and the future, they understand and have a much better handle on good workplace relations in what is a difficult work environment, it's a very strange place to work. but if you determine we work very long hours because we have a lot to do and the engagement with colleagues is how we make progress on so many things, we need to make sure good behaviour is the standard and those who are not behaving well are called out. do you su lort all behaving well are called out. do you support all women _ behaving well are called out. do you support all women shortlist - behaving well are called out. do you support all women shortlist to - behaving well are called out. do you support all women shortlist to try i support all women shortlist to try and make your party at 50% women? [30 and make your party at 50% women? dr? not. i don't think that is a solution. i think women are more than capable of presenting themselves and winning on their own merits. what we need to do is make sure, whilst, it's an unusual workplace environment, as i say, not because of bad behaviour but because
7:40 am
it's just an unusual environment, that we encourage the amazing women out there doing amazing things in other sectors to consider a career in politics either local or national. because we want the best voices, male and female, in parliament driving forward policy and legislation which represents the whole country's reviews. top representation, _ whole country's reviews. top representation, what represent success for your party in the local elections this week? it’s success for your party in the local elections this week?— elections this week? it's a funny set of elections _ elections this week? it's a funny set of elections in _ elections this week? it's a funny set of elections in that - elections this week? it's a funny set of elections in that it - elections this week? it's a funny set of elections in that it only i set of elections in that it only some councils and some parts of councils, i think we will win some and lose some. in some parts where i've been campaigning there is a really strong and positive message from the conservative party and there are some tough calls elsewhere and when you've been in government for 12 years that's not surprising. we will have a mixed bag, i think. use eight wins and losses, a mixed bag, the telegraph saying you are on track to lose nearly 550 seats. do
7:41 am
you recognise that? i track to lose nearly 550 seats. do you recognise that?— track to lose nearly 550 seats. do you recognise that? i am not close to the detail. _ you recognise that? i am not close to the detail. i _ you recognise that? i am not close to the detail, i have _ you recognise that? i am not close to the detail, i have just _ you recognise that? i am not close to the detail, i have just been i to the detail, i have just been supporting candidates in a few councils. i think we will see in some areas where there are a close because it will be close on the day, i would always say conservative voters, make sure you get out and about, if you want a conservative council that will have lower council tax and better services, four times more potholes are filled in conservative councils rather than labour at once, then get out and vote on thursday. the national issue is the prime minister at the moment, what sort of pressure would a bad result put on him? this pressure would a bad result put on him? �* , , , pressure would a bad result put on him? , ., him? as i say, it is a mixed set of elections and _ him? as i say, it is a mixed set of elections and we _ him? as i say, it is a mixed set of elections and we would _ him? as i say, it is a mixed set of elections and we would expect i him? as i say, it is a mixed set of elections and we would expect to | him? as i say, it is a mixed set of. elections and we would expect to see some pressure after 12 years of government, so we will hope to and get our voters out on thursday and then carry on getting on with the

job. the prime minister today is speaking to president zelensky and that ukrainian parliament, really trying to give them a boost and making an announcement of £300 million or more equipment to support their incredible fight to defend their incredible fight to defend their country and freedom and their young democracy. what we have on thursday we almost take for granted. we have democracy in action here in the uk, in all sorts of places, we take that for granted, the ukrainians are fighting for their lives and democracy at the prime minister is championing them, too. you seem quite positive about thursday to yet the vast majority of people are predicting you're going to get absolutely walloped. i think we will win some _ to get absolutely walloped. i think we will win some and _ to get absolutely walloped. i think we will win some and lose - to get absolutely walloped. i think we will win some and lose some, l to get absolutely walloped. i think i we will win some and lose some, as i say. some areas where the 12 years of conservative government brings its own pressures but i would say these are local elections, these are about your local council and those
7:43 am
local issues that are of concern and worry to you and we note conservative councils ensure lower council tax, conservative councils ensure lower counciltax, better conservative councils ensure lower council tax, better service delivery and that is what i would encourage everyone to do, vote conservative. anne—marie trevelyan, appreciate your time. john is here with a fantastic finale from this new cat last night. what from this new cat last night. what else can you _ from this new cat last night. what else can you say _ from this new cat last night. what else can you say about _ from this new cat last night. what else can you say about the - from this new cat last night. b'fl'ié�*jf else can you say about the guy? his seventh world snooker title 21 years after his first. it's like watching after his first. it's like watching a genius at work. i after his first. it's like watching a genius at work.— after his first. it's like watching a genius at work. i made the kids watch it yesterday. _ a genius at work. i made the kids watch it yesterday. what - a genius at work. i made the kids watch it yesterday. what did i a genius at work. i made the kids watch it yesterday. what did they think? not that— watch it yesterday. what did they think? not that much _ watch it yesterday. what did they think? not that much interest. i l watch it yesterday. what did they i think? not that much interest. i was t inl to think? not that much interest. i was trying to explain _ think? not that much interest. i was trying to explain how _ think? not that much interest. i was trying to explain how difficult - trying to explain how difficult snooker is in terms of controlling the cue ball and the precise nature of it, to get two balls in any row and get regular breaks of over 100. you're always thinking three or four shots ahead and always negotiating

7:45 am
as he told jamie broughton. yeah, that's the most emotional i've never been. it was just whatjudd said to me, i hugged him because for me, he is the governor. what he said to be afterwards really meant a lot and itjust blew me away. that is what got me, really. our next guest might have had the best bank holiday monday ever. ellis cross is an amateur runner who paid his £37 entry fee for a 10k in london, and ended up beating sir mo farah. we'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's see the final stages of the race. there we go. i wonder if he's had a lie down. ellis cross joins us now.

on energy companies, as bp posts an underlying profit of £5 billion for the first quarter of the year. but as families continue to struggle with high energy prices, inflated food costs, and low growth in wages, the pressure builds for businesses to pay a windfall tax to support the vulnerable. protests in america, as a leaked document suggests that the us supreme court could be about to overturn the nationwide legal right to abortion. attempts to evacuate civilians from a steel plant in the beseiged ukrainian city of mariupol are due to restart this morning, as the russian bombardment intesifies. magnificent seven for ronnie o'sullivan who equals stephen hendry�*s record of world snooker titles and says he's coming back for more. counting down to kilimanjaro. we're with martin hibbert as he takes his training to a new level by attempting
8:04 am
to climb snowdon. a mild but cloudy start to the day, patchy rain and drizzle but it will brighten up in the west and south through the day, sparking off some heavy showers. all of the details through the programme. it's tuesday 3rd may. in the past hour the energy company bp has announced that its underlying profit in the first three months of this year was nearly £5 billion, in the past hour the energy company bp has announced that its underlying profit in the first three months of this year was nearly £5 billion, the highest in a decade. we have spoken to a number of politicians this morning about this, we will be speaking to keir starmer in about half an hour. this comes at a time when families are facing the biggest squeeze on living standards in 50 years. nina is here with the details.
8:05 am
business is booming for bp. they may have had to write off billions after pulling out of a russian energy company. but their day to day profits are looking very healthy. almost £5 billion in profits for the firs three months of the year. that's partly because energy became scarce once global lockdowns lifted, and the price remained high, then boosted by russia's invasion of ukraine raising questions around the reliability of supply. so is it time bp started paying a windfall tax? what's that? something governments can impose on businesses who are doing well not necessarily through good business sense but good fortune. bp say not. today they said by 2030 they intend to invest up to £18 billion in green energy, and hitting net zero targets. and some investors say hitting energy companies with a big tax at a time
8:06 am
when we need their products, and need their investment in technology, doen't make sense. the argument is you are taking away money from the company at a time when we still need energy, energy demands are growing, and the moment prices are strong because there is a shortage of oil and gas around as russian supply is being taken from the world. and bp has a clear strategy to transition away towards the net zero world, away from hydrocarbons and towards solar, wind, renewable engineer. it needs its profits to make those investments. but the argument won't go away. families are already facing an average energy bill increase of more than 50%. inflation is at 7%. this is an argument about being fair to families and fair to business. thank you, see you soon. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. we have been speaking to politicians on this programme, keir starmer

8:17 am
in the manchester arena bombing, takes on his biggest challenge yet — to climb mount kilimanjaro. we've been following martin's journey as he raises money for the spinal injuries association, and as part of his training he recently attempted to tackle one of the uk's highest peaks, mount snowdon. graeme satchell reports. snowdon, the highest mountain in wales. it is a real challenge for those who are very fit and able. we are going to go up nice and steady. martin hibbert is attempting to get to the top in a wheelchair. right, let's go and have some fun. let's go. martin has a big team around him and a specially modified chair. but you can see and hear the effort as he pushes and pulls himself up the mountain. all i'm thinking about is getting to the top, that's all i'm thinking about.
8:18 am
it's like my body almost doesn't feel pain now. felt good, felt good. great stuff, well done. cheers, thank you. ready? martin is buffeted and bashed, jolted by every rock. two, three, up. this climb up snowdon, a vital test. it is preparation for a much greater challenge to come, and so far, martin's spirits are high. sings from "the lion king". where did that come from? in just a few short weeks, the team will be heading to mount kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa. martin has set up a justgiving page, he hopes to raise money for the charity the sia, the spinal injuries association. i first wanted to do mount everest but that was impossible for someone in a wheelchair,
8:19 am
i'm still going to check that out. they said the second hardest is kilimanjaro. i said, let's raise a million quid then. a pause, and martin is overcome with emotion. the trauma he suffered over the last five years is never far away. when a terrorist attacked the manchester arena in 2017, martin was the closest person to the bomber to survive. he was hit by 22 pieces of shrapnel and left paralysed from the waist down. when i was told i wasn't going to walk again, i was really lucky about the help and support and care that i got. i found out that not everybody gets that. and mejust being the person that i am, i was like, right, let's change it. martin's team is made up of expert climbers, friends and medical staff who helped to save his life. martin spent quite a lot of time in intensive care.
8:20 am
he nearly died. and he could have died. to see him today doing this five years later, it's just unbelievable. it's just an absolute inspiration for what he's trying to do. and what he's trying to show for spinal injury patients. it is a little red but it's ok. it's really nice to see him| in this environment doing all these fabulous things, i because i was one of the first people to see him going from just a bed to his very first wheelchair.| so this is absolutely incredible i that he is doing this for the sia. the team reach the steepest part of the mountain with the toughest terrain and martin is determined to keep going. people walking down here today, they're looking at me and it's almost like tom and jerry, like, mouth drop moment, you know what i mean?
8:21 am
and you could see they are like brilliant, well done. because they are struggling. this is what i want to do now, change people's perception of disability. with the right team around you, i can do anything i want to do. after a real struggle with the mountain, martin is close to the top but there's a problem. it's really gutsy and very, very strong. james has gone over as well. i'll have a chat with martin and see how he's feeling. dave, one of the safety advisors, is really worried. if i can, i want to get there but i'm not going to risk injury or friends injury to do it. so i'll listen to you guys. but i feel i can do it but i'm not putting anyone's life or, at injury. the team take a moment.
8:22 am
it is heartbreaking not to reach the top but the wind is vicious. obviously, disappointing not to get to the summit but really proud of what we've done. obviously, to get this point. so really happy, and, yeah, i think it's given us all a big boost for kilimanjaro now so yeah, bring it on. martin makes his way back down. kilimanjaro is more than five times higher than snowdon. there are bigger battles to come. he is amazing. i know he didn't make it to the top of snowdon but i know he will do it. he it to the top of snowdon but i know he will do it— graham satchell with that report and a reminder martin is raising money for the spinal injuries association. i love the fact that some of the people who helped him along the way are with him and will be going to kilimanjaro. are with him and will be going to kilimanjaro-— kiliman'aro. they were with him riaht kilimanjaro. they were with him ri . ht at kilimanjaro. they were with him right at the _ kilimanjaro. they were with him

good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. cast members of the west end production cinderella say they're their heartbroken after finding out the musical has been cancelled via social media. andrew lloyd webber�*s show will end on 12thjune, but some cast members said they read the news online before being told themselves. just to sort of bring humanity into it, of how actors feel pretty much on the daily, and how things are, how business is conducted in our industry, is not normal. the really useful group, which puts on the production, told the bbc every effort was made to ensure people were notified before the announcement. bedfordshire police are carrying out an investigation on the m1 near luton after a multi—vehicle crash this morning. the northbound
8:33 am
carriageway is execpted to be closed for several hours, between junctions ten and 11. traffic is being diverted through luton and drivers are asked to avoid the area where possible. more than 20 gym owners who were accused of breaching covid rules have had their fines overturned in court. the crown prosecution service says it considered each case on invididual merit and will prosecute whenever its legal test is met. but a london—based law firm has said its successfully defended all but two of its 25 clients facing these fines in the past 18 months. the biggest issue here is about the enforcement of the legislation itself. it hasn't been dealt with in the correct fashion and the law hasn't been followed. and for that reason, it's been quite easy to recognise where there have been problems and failings in the enforcement and prosecution of these types of cases.
8:34 am
good morning. the chance of a few showers a bit later on through the day but to begin with it is a mostly dry start. there is plenty of low cloud around, though, and some of that cloud is producing a bit of light drizzle here and there. it is quite a misty and murky start to the day but it's also mild. temperatures generally in high single figures. we will keep those layers of cloud as we head throughout the morning but into the afternoon we could see some brighter skies develop. watch out for one or two showers being triggered off by that brightness, perhaps a little bit of sunshine here and there. and then those showers could continue on into the evening for a few of us as well. temperatures tend to be a bit lower than yesterday. overnight, the showers are gradually clearing away, it will be another mild start to the day on wednesday. a few more showers in the forecast, potentially, on wednesday, but also some sunny spells and temperatures start to climb. we've got a ridge of high pressure building in as we head through thursday, which is looking dry, and there will be
8:35 am
more sunshine on offer. temperatures likely to climb as high as perhaps 20 or 21 celsius by the time we get to the end of the working week. that's it from me for now. time to pass you back to sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. as we've been discussing this morning, energy company, bp, has reported almost £5 billion in underlying profit for the first three months of the year. this comes at a time when households are struggling with the rising cost of living and there are calls for a 'windfall tax' to be introduced. we'rejoined now by the labour leader sir keir starmer. good morning to you. good to see you this morning. give me your reaction to those figures from bp we've just been talking about. i to those figures from bp we've 'ust been talking abouti been talking about. i think those fiuures been talking about. i think those figures reinforce _ been talking about. i think those figures reinforce the _ been talking about. i think those figures reinforce the case - been talking about. i think those figures reinforce the case we i been talking about. i think those i figures reinforce the case we have been making, which is that with so many people struggling to pay their energy bills we should have a
8:36 am
windfall tax on oil and gas companies in the north sea who have made more profits than they expected, have a windfall tax and use that to help people with their energy bills, up to £600 for those who need it most. i think this is further evidence that approach by the labour party is the right approach for so many people struggling with their bills and not just struggling with their bills, in the last few weeks they will have got their pay slip, which shows in the middle of a cost of living crisis, if you can believe it, the government has chosen to increase their tax. government has chosen to increase theirtax. if government has chosen to increase their tax. if anything, government has chosen to increase theirtax. ifanything, it reinforces the case we've been making about a windfall tax. let’s making about a windfall tax. let's talk about that _ making about a windfall tax. let's talk about that a _ making about a windfall tax. let's talk about that a bit _ making about a windfall tax. let's talk about that a bit more - making about a windfall tax. let's talk about that a bit more detail, are you suggesting a millionaire living in a mansion would still receive the same support as someone living in a one—bedroom flat? ihlo. receive the same support as someone living in a one-bedroom flat?- living in a one-bedroom flat? no. we are tailoring — living in a one-bedroom flat? no. we are tailoring what _ living in a one-bedroom flat? no. we are tailoring what we _ living in a one-bedroom flat? no. we are tailoring what we do _ living in a one-bedroom flat? no. we are tailoring what we do about - are tailoring what we do about energy bills to up to £600 is for

8:44 am
this is pure and simple politicking mudslinging before the local elections and if as much energy was put into answering the question so many people want answered which is how are you going to help with our energy bills, the conservatives would be doing the country a favour. have the police been in touch about what happened that night? the police looked into this _ what happened that night? the police looked into this months _ what happened that night? the police looked into this months ago - what happened that night? the police looked into this months ago and - what happened that night? the police | looked into this months ago and came to a conclusion and a lot has happened since then its conservative mps have been trying to whip it up. if they got back in touch would you cooperate? if they got back in touch would you coo erate? , if they got back in touch would you cooperate?— cooperate? there is nothing... we sto - ed, cooperate? there is nothing... we stopped. we _ cooperate? there is nothing... we stopped. we did — cooperate? there is nothing... we stopped, we did not _ cooperate? there is nothing. .. we stopped, we did not break- cooperate? there is nothing... we stopped, we did not break the - cooperate? there is nothing... we i stopped, we did not break the rules, the police look at it months ago. the rest of it is pure politics. would you cooperate with them if they got back in touch?— they got back in touch? well, of course. they got back in touch? well, of course- but _ they got back in touch? well, of course. but they _ they got back in touch? well, of course. but they look _ they got back in touch? well, of course. but they look at - they got back in touch? well, of course. but they look at it - they got back in touch? well, of| course. but they look at it before and there is nothing they found to be wrong. it is pure and simple distraction from the real issue. mira; distraction from the real issue. why did ou distraction from the real issue. why did you only — distraction from the real issue. why did you only last — distraction from the real issue. why did you only last week confirm angela rayner was there on that
8:45 am
evening? something we talk about a lot on this programme is honesty from politicians. why was that confusion allowed to continue? it was a mistake that was made. we were asked months ago if she was there and we wrongly said she was not, it was a genuine mistake. i will take responsibility for that. it is my office. we are a busy office, we made a mistake. we were asked again. if i was asked i would have said that she was there because i knew that she was there because i knew that she was there because i knew that she was there but it was a genuine mistake in a busy office. everybody understands that happens in busy offices. i5 everybody understands that happens in busy offices-— in busy offices. is that not what some conservatives _ in busy offices. is that not what some conservatives might - in busy offices. is that not what some conservatives might say. in busy offices. is that not what i some conservatives might say but whether the attended parties in downing street or in a room at a particular time? downing street or in a room at a particular time ?_ downing street or in a room at a particular time? that is up to them. the know particular time? that is up to them. they know what _ particular time? that is up to them. they know what happened - particular time? that is up to them. they know what happened in - particular time? that is up to them. they know what happened in their l particular time? that is up to them. i they know what happened in their own offices, it is not for me... but you did not know what was happening in yours? we were asked some months ago, there was a mistake made in my office and i take responsibility, it
8:46 am
was a genuine mistake. mistakes get made from time to time and i take responsibility. if you compare that to 50 fines issued in relation to downing street, it is miles apart. and i don't think there is any equivalence. louie and i don't think there is any equivalence.— equivalence. we talked a lot recently about _ equivalence. we talked a lot recently about sexism - equivalence. we talked a lot recently about sexism and i equivalence. we talked a lot - recently about sexism and misogyny in parliament, have you spoken to you at college angela rayner since those stories or at the last few days about her?— those stories or at the last few days about her? those stories or at the last few da s about her? , , ,., ~ ., days about her? yes, i spoke to her the morning — days about her? yes, i spoke to her the morning the _ days about her? yes, i spoke to her the morning the first _ days about her? yes, i spoke to her the morning the first story - days about her? yes, i spoke to her the morning the first story broke. i | the morning the first story broke. i know how disgusted she was that she was being treated in this way and subject to those comments. and she was disgusted notjust on her own behalf but on behalf of so many other women that face this rank sexism and write misogyny. and angela rayner should not have to tolerate that. no woman in politics should have to tolerate that,
8:47 am
whichever party they are in. and i suspect there are many of your viewers, women who are watching this to say, in my own workplace there is a form of sexism and misogyny, i know what this feels like. we all got a duty to call this out and to do something about it, notjust on behalf of angela but on all women whenever they work anywhere in the united kingdom. what whenever they work anywhere in the united kingdom.— whenever they work anywhere in the united kingdom. what would you say to --eole united kingdom. what would you say to people suggesting _ united kingdom. what would you say to people suggesting she _ united kingdom. what would you say to people suggesting she had - united kingdom. what would you sayj to people suggesting she had already discussed this issue herself with mp5? �* l, discussed this issue herself with mps? ~ ., ., , discussed this issue herself with mps? ., i, ,, mps? angela has already addressed that. mps? angela has already addressed that- frankly. _ mps? angela has already addressed that. frankly, to _ mps? angela has already addressed that. frankly, to start _ mps? angela has already addressed that. frankly, to start now- mps? angela has already addressed that. frankly, to start now trying - that. frankly, to start now trying to suggest this is all angela's at fault, this is a rank sexism, write misogyny, angela should not have to put up with it and all of us need to cut it out whether it is angela rayner or any other women subject to this —— all of us need to call it out. the more i top took women
8:48 am
across the country, the clearer it is whenever women work there is often missed experience of sexism and misogyny —— and the more i talk to women. i and misogyny -- and the more i talk to women. .. and misogyny -- and the more i talk to women-— and misogyny -- and the more i talk to women. i think any one reading at story would — to women. i think any one reading at story would be _ to women. i think any one reading at story would be horrified _ to women. i think any one reading at story would be horrified by _ to women. i think any one reading at story would be horrified by the - story would be horrified by the suggestion, the allegations made in it. it is mortifying, embarrassing, upsetting. how is she, do you know? she was very upset and disgusted that morning. angela is a formidable politician, a brilliant politician, and the idea that this should be reduced to this sexism and misogyny is something that is very hard for her to bear. she's fought a lot of things in her life and achieved a huge amount and she wants to be judged by the political argument and political contribution that she makes, and she should be. that is why i new to phone her straightaway when i saw that story coming out

8:50 am
to the next labour government. that is something — to the next labour government. that is something of— to the next labour government. that is something of a _ to the next labour government. that is something of a turnaround when you consider thejeremy corbyn years, when he was out in the cold. my years, when he was out in the cold. my interest is in getting the labour party into power so we can change the lives of millions of people, thatis the lives of millions of people, that is what drives me. i want to bring about change to benefit millions of people and we can only do that by winning elections, i'm fed up with opposition, you need to get into power to change lives, we did it three times under tony blair and i am very interested in that discussion about how the labour party gets into position to win a general election. we've done a huge amount in the past two years and change the labour party profound that, whether that is tackling anti—semitism, whether it's making clear where we stand on nato, a relationship with the business community, more work to do but i want to win elections. sir starmer, thank you- — thank you. you can see a bit of the grey skies
