good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. doctors and paramedics say that long waits for ambulances across the uk are having a dangerous impact on patient safety. it's the first time i've ever had to phone for an ambulance in my whole entire life, and i've got four children. and so, when i really needed it, it wasn't there to help, and it should be. good morning. the bread rolls are stacked up out of his bakery in bolton, but how do the economic growth figures stack up for the uk? i'll have the latest figures. shanghai's tough covid lockdown gets even stricter,

with millions of people banned from ordering commercial food deliveries. a royal donation for bowel babe. the duke and duchess of cambridge give money to deborahjames�* cancer research fund, which has now raised more than £3 million. celtic regain their crown in scotland. they win their tenth scottish premiership title in 11 years, after drawing with dundee united. also this morning, we meet the man who has broken the british record for the longest flight by a paper aeroplane. and in whether it looks like a dry day for most today, with sunny spells. a few showers in the north. details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 12th of may. ambulance services across the uk are in crisis, because they can't guarantee reaching a patient in good time. that's the verdict of the president of the royal college of emergency medicine. it comes after bbc research revealed that the number of serious safety

incidents involving ambulances in england — many of them linked to waiting times — rose by nearly 80% compared to before the pandemic. the 999 system is also under severe pressure in scotland, wales and northern ireland. our reporterjim reed has this report. i rememberjust lying down on my mum's lap, like, we needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible. ten—year—old willow spent four nights in hospital last october, after falling off her bike on a country path. i said, "help, i can't breathe. that's all i said. that's all that came into my mind. yeah, she was screaming for help. we didn't know what had happened. and we couldn't really move her, because she was in a real mess, like a car accident rather than a bike accident. but when a passer—by called an ambulance, they were told it would be a ten hour wait for help, well above the two hour target for an accident like this. the family had to make their own way to hospital. we kept getting told by consultants that we should not have moved her,

because her back and her neck injuries could have been quite severe. it's the first time i've ever had to phone for an ambulance in my whole entire life, and i've got four children. and so, when i really needed it, it wasn't there to help. and it should be. the ambulance service said it was under significant pressure that day because of high demand. it apologised and said willow should have been assessed differently, and paramedics assigned more quickly. across the uk, ambulance response times have been rising sharply over the last year. in england, the most serious, life—threatening cases should be seen within seven minutes. in march, the average was a record nine and a half minutes. for so—called category 2 emergencies, like strokes or heart attacks, the target is 18 minutes. the average is now over an hour. in wales, scotland and northern ireland, services are under similar pressure, with near record wait times. we've always been able to get ambulances to people, to bring them in. we may have had crowding

in emergency departments. it's worse now. but we've always been able to get ambulances. and i think the fact that we are struggling to guarantee somebody an ambulance in a timely way, moves us into a whole new territory of patient safety issue. 23 ambulances... this is a big part of the problem. hospitals are extremely busy, so paramedics are often having to queue outside, before they can drop off patients. all this comes at a time when the number of 999 calls has been rising to record levels. if ambulances have to queue outside hospitals like this, it might mean they can't get out quickly to the next person on the line who needs help. and the concern is that could have a knock on effect on patient safety. in the year before the pandemic, ambulance staff logged 312 serious safety incidents, where a patient could have died or been permanently injured. over the past year, that has risen to 551 reports. i took one step, and was actually

falling towards the shed. 81—year—old carol took a tumble here in her front garden last year. again, an ambulance should have arrived within two hours. it took almost twice as long as that. the if we hadn't been here, and she was an elderly person living on her own, she would have laid face down on a concrete floor in agony for hours, waiting for an ambulance, which isjust... the one thing that has done this completely knocked my confidence. i'm frightened to walk around to tesco's on my own. ijust can't do it. so it's interfered with my life completely. nhs england says record demand means the last few months have been some of the toughest ever for its staff. it says safety is its absolute priority, and hospitals, ambulance trusts and care homes are working together to see more patients as quickly as possible. jim reed, bbc news. new figures on the health of the uk economy will be released in about an hour, with fears a recession could be on the way.

the bank of england has already warned of a sharp economic slowdown, as a result of rising inflation. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. at chesham market in buckinghamshire, danny wadmore is hoping the upcoming jubilee celebrations will give sales a lift. the bunting is going up, in more ways than one. every day he talks to his wholesaler and gets the same message — everything's going up. everything's gone up. everything. everything i sell�*s gone up in price, everything. so give us an example. what about these dog beds, for example? that dog bed there, i was selling for 19.99 at christmas. it's now 29.99. with their own wages not keeping up with prices, customers aren't spending like they used to. this market survived the internet and the pandemic, but in the last six months, with pricesjumping and business down an estimated 30%, nearly half the traders have walked away. the cost of living's gone up everywhere.

all these people are self—employed. they obviously got to earn a living, and their stock's gone up, like my stock's gone up. and i think people are having it hard. as more fruit and veg is harvested, imported fruit and veg prices are starting to ease. but they're still up around 50% compared to last year. home grown plant prices, too, are shooting up well. well, the english growers have taken up the slack, but they've put the prices up, because they know there's no dutch stuff for us to buy. so they're getting a bit more money, which is good. it's good for the english growers. they need it. food banks are more in demand now than they were at the start of the pandemic, even though this is only a slowdown, and that back then, was the biggest recession in 300 years. it's not in that crisis, but in its aftermath, and in the shadow of war, that ordinary households are feeling the pinch most. most economists now predict inflation will peak in double figures later this year, further squeezing consumers and reducing spending on non—essentials. eventually, that should mean less upward pressure on prices, bringing inflation down.

but the hardest pressed consumers can't afford to wait for that to happen. andy verity, bbc news. the government's chief law officer has received legal advice that it would be lawful to override parts of the post—brexit treaty for northern ireland without the approval of the eu. this means there could be new legislation scrapping checks on goods going from britain to northern ireland. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. there is a lot to this, a lot to net there is a lot to this, a lot to get your head around. and there is also a lot of objection to this potential change? a lot of ob'ection to this potential chan . e? �* , a lot of ob'ection to this potential chance? �* , ., a lot of ob'ection to this potential chance? �*, ., . ~ ., a lot of ob'ection to this potential chance? �*, ., ., ., change? let's go back to basics. remember— change? let's go back to basics. remember the _ change? let's go back to basics. remember the brexit _ change? let's go back to basics. remember the brexit deal - change? let's go back to basics. remember the brexit deal from | change? let's go back to basics. i remember the brexit deal from all those _ remember the brexit deal from all those years ago? a part of that applies— those years ago? a part of that applies to — those years ago? a part of that applies to northern ireland added means_ applies to northern ireland added means that lots of eu rules about trade _ means that lots of eu rules about trade in _ means that lots of eu rules about trade in goods and product safety, things— trade in goods and product safety, things like — trade in goods and product safety, things like that, apply in northern ireiand, _ things like that, apply in northern ireland, but not the rest of great

they shoot leonid and a second man multiple times in their backs. leonid somehow survives. his boss dead, the guard staggers back to his hut and starts phoning for help. i met one of the friends leonid called that day. he told vasya the soldiers claim they don't kill civilians. then they shot him. translation: i asked how he was. i said, "can you at least bandage yourself up?" and he said, "vasya, i barely crawled here. everything hurts so much. i feel really bad." so i told him to hang in there, and started calling the territorial defence. the russians drove a stolen van, daubed with their v symbol and the words "russian tanks special forces". and this is the man we saw shooting,

now helping himself to a drink. he has no idea he's being filmed. no—one does, until it's too late. and all this time, leonid is hiding in here, bleeding heavily. weeks later, we found his clothes and mattress bundled up outside. he died before help could reach him. i met the men who tried to save leonid, sasha and kostya, who sold air conditioning before the war. as they rushed to the scene that day, they tried to reassure leonid that he'd make it, but they were scared themselves. translation: we went there knowing the risk, under fire. _ we knew the russians would come back, and they had tanks and we only had our guns. so our chances were not equal. but we had to go and get him. they show me how the nearby road looked in those days, with russian tanks rolling

past their positions. police have told us the russians shot at anything that moved here. they found the bodies of 37 civilians on just this stretch of road. it's notjust the burnt out buildings and businesses along this road that you see, but things like this. two russian tanks just lodged in the forest. and you can see the v's painted on the front. and it's a really stark reminder of just how fierce the fighting was all along these roads into kyiv, and how terrified leonid must have been as he was lying there, bleeding and calling for help. leonid's daughter shared this image of her dad as she'd like him remembered. yulia is abroad now. she tells me she wants her father's killers to face justice.

translation: my dad was not a military man at all. _ he was a pensioner. they killed a 65—year—old. what for? i'm not so much furious, as full of grief and fear. these damn russians are so out of control, that i'm afraid of what they might do next. leonid never returned to his home, or his pets. another life stolen by russian troops, now notorious for their brutality. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. the time is 16 minutes past six. let's find out what is happening with the weather. i am sure there is more sunshine on the way. a little bit of rain yesterday. that picture behind you, i was looking up where thatis,itis

"tory — the poor can't cook" is the headline in today's daily mirror, focusing on comments by the conservative mp lee anderson. he said many people only need to use food banks, because they haven't learned how to cook and budget properly. the i newspaper also leads with the cost of living crisis. it says tories are split over plans to try to ease the problem, with chancellor rishi sunak resisting extra spending, and scottish tories opposed to a possible windfall tax on energy companies. the daily mail, however,

suggests the chancellor has ordered officials to look at plans for a windfall tax. it says mr sunak is alarmed that companies have done nothing to increase investment in infrastructure, despite huge profits. the daily star focuses on the latest evidence from rebekah vardy, who is suing coleen rooney for libel. a slightly sarcastic headline reads, "i tried to leak story about footballer, says footballer�*s wife who denies leaking stories on footballer�*s wife." it is going around in circles. quite fascinating. what have you seen inside? fin fascinating. what have you seen inside? . , ., ., fascinating. what have you seen inside? , ., ., inside? an exhibition to bring to --eole's inside? an exhibition to bring to people's attention. _ inside? an exhibition to bring to people's attention. an _ inside? an exhibition to bring to | people's attention. an exhibition inside? an exhibition to bring to i people's attention. an exhibition at the design museum. it is the first exhibition on autonomous sensibly meridian response. asmr. —— century. that sounds thrilling. meridian response. asmr. -- century. that sounds thrilling.— that sounds thrilling. there is form and stuff. that sounds thrilling. there is form and stuff- you _ that sounds thrilling. there is form and stuff. you go _ that sounds thrilling. there is form

the effectiveness of drugs laws on cannabis and make recommendations to the government. it's been announced by the mayor, who's currently in los angeles, as part of his trip to the united states. cannabis has been legal in the city since 2016. sadiq khan visited a cannabis dispensary and factory, to see the impact legalisation has had. look, i genuinely have an open mind. what we need to do is get a group of experts, health experts, community experts, legal experts and others to look at the law around cannabis. we are not talking about class a drugs. what we do know is at the moment with cannabis being criminal, huge lots of health implications and huge implications with younger people being criminalised. the met says it's seen a significant reduction in gun crime with more than 500 firearms taken off the streets in the last year. the number of shootings has also fallen by 30% in the 12 months to april. scotland yard says the results are due to intelligence led operations in areas of high gang activity. the force is also joining a national weapons surrender

being launched today. the holiday giant tui — which is based in crawley and flies from gatwick — has said it expects summer bookings to "almost reach" pre—pandemic levels this year. but the company has warned there will be "no last minute" low price deals due to high fuel costs. the company said bookings had surged in the past six weeks with people planning for summer breaks as covid travel restrictions have eased. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. the tube is running well but london overground has a part closure. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. at last, some proper rainfall for the parks and the gardens across the capital yesterday afternoon. but now with high pressure building as we head through today on

the rest of the week it is looking dried or mostly dry. there is the possibility we will see heavy, thundery downpours moving through the south through the day on sunday. but for today, certainly dry out there at the moment. a chillier start to the morning when we saw yesterday with temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night and a bit too breezy for any dense mist to form. lots of sunshine around throughout the morning and then in the afternoon there will be a little more in the way of cloud developing with temperatures reaching the high teens in celsius. we still have that fairly noticeable westerly wind blowing as well. overnight tonight, we see clear skies and temperatures will drop back, particularly in rural spots, into single figures and then for friday a lot more sunshine around in the forecast and we will see some sunny spells through the afternoon as well. set to stay dry and temperatures peaking a little bit higher in the low 20s in celsius. warming up again further on saturday with the chance of those thundery showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back

to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on the programme this morning. we'll be live at windsor horse show as the first major event of the queen's platinum jubilee gets underway. it can't be you who has £181 million on the lottery, and it was claimed. it was a life changing amount and we have a couple of previous lottery winners on the sofa to tell us about what it was like to win a fortune. and how do you build the perfect paper aeroplane? we'll hear from the man whose creation flew for a record—breaking 48 metres. we're going get an update on how the economy is doing this morning —

when the latest gdp figures are released at seven o'clock. the perfect place to be at this time in the morning is a bakery. ben's at a bakery in bolton to tell us more. good alliteration there. he has no bonds with him. but beautiful pastries. bonds with him. but beautiful astries. , ., , ., ~ pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in _ pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in a _ pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in a bakery _ pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in a bakery at _ pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in a bakery at any - pastries. they are beautiful. a good time to be in a bakery at any time, | time to be in a bakery at any time, but especially this morning. look at how perfect these look. and as well they should. yes, good morning from greenhalgh's bakery. they've been in business for 65 years. they've seen some great economic times and tough at times, but right now they are getting ready for the queen's platinumjubilee now they are getting ready for the queen's platinum jubilee weekend. deborah is putting finishing touches to these cupcakes and biscuits as well. they are all very excited about thejubilee

well. they are all very excited about the jubilee weekend well. they are all very excited about thejubilee weekend coming up and i'm very excited about the gdp growth figures that we get later this morning. they will tell us about the state and health of the uk economy. and let me tell you why thatis economy. and let me tell you why that is so important. gdp is the value of all of the goods and services that we make and sell. what we're looking for is growth. growth means more money around. more money generally means more jobs and investment. the best way of measuring how our economy is doing right now is to compare it to pre—pandemic levels. in april tojune 2020, gdp took a massive hit of nearly 20% — that was when lockdown is came in and businesses could not open. there was a recovery in the late summer and autumn of 2020 as rules were relaxed — growth was better than expected, but still not back to pre—covid levels. since then, growth has continued, but at a slower rate —

and below the expectations of economists. in the last three months of last year grew byjust1.3%. and in november the economy was bigger, at last, than it was before the pandemic. all of the latest factors we have been talking about, high food prices, high fuel prices and energy costs, uncertainty, all of that has an impact on spending which has a knock—on effect on the economy which is why we are looking forward to seeing what these figures can give us an idea of how the economy is doing. let's speak to gary, the wholesale sales director. have you noticed as a company that people have a lot less to spend and all of the impact we've seen in the last couple of years? we found that the customer we've had to look at costing where we can on the raw ingredients but we are trying to make advantage of things like the jubilee. in make advantage of things like the jubilee. . ., , , ., jubilee. in the world cup is at the end of november— jubilee. in the world cup is at the end of november so _ jubilee. in the world cup is at the end of november so we _ jubilee. in the world cup is at the end of november so we are - jubilee. in the world cup is at the |

wonders bringing in new players but lending them so quickly and successfully they have done it. celtic have been crowned scottish premiership champions once again. a 1—1 draw away at dundee united was enough to confirm their 10th title in 11 years. they took the lead, early in the second half, thanks to this header from yakamakis. and although dundee united equalised, the point, was enough to secure the title. it was celtic�*s 31st game without defeat, and it capped a remarkable turnaround, afterfinishing 25 points behind rangers last season. our starting point was a fair way back and the way that this group of players and staff and everyone involved has risen to the challenge, i couldn't be more proud of this group of people. they have backed me all the way and what it means that our supporters is unbelievable. now, it was a crucial night in the premier league as well with lots to play for at the bottom and the top of the table. leeds' status in the top flight

is hanging by a thread after they were well beaten by chelsea, while manchester city took another big step towards retaining their title, as patrick gearey reports. this was one of the few times anyone got near kevin de bruyne last night. he took the ball home. all evening he had taken it where he wanted. remember, there was pressure. liverpool were close behind, unlike wolves defenders here. de bruyne got the first early on. then things might have got complicated. leander dendoncker�*s equaliser turned the title race for about five minutes. when de bruyne restored city's direction — his touch, and ultimately his finish. we now know next season he will play alongside erling haaland one of the world's best strikers. de bruyne is technically a midfielder but definitely a genius. this is sensational. he has scored a hat—trick in 23 minutes. there was then a goal drought of overjust half an hour before city cracked wolves open again. de bruyne with four goals.

sterling, late, added a fifth and as city moved ever closer to the title, everybody needed to talk about kevin. the second part of the season, he played similar like today but he scored four goals and that would make the performance not worse, unstoppable, awesome, brilliant, outstanding, so, perfect. not adjectives that could be applied to leeds whose evening started badly when mason mount scored for third—place chelsea inside five minutes. the leeds manager has been trying to inspire them with the words of gandhi. if only danjames had considered the principle of non—violence before this tackle. red card, game effectively over. chelsea finished up scoring three. leads remain in the bottom three. meanwhile, relegated watford have already appointed rob edwards as their new manager for next season. he's just won the league 2 title, with forest green rovers in his first season and his

departure really hasn't gone down well with the owner there. dale vince says he's far from happy about the way watford approached edwards. i bear ibear him i bear him no ill will, right. i forgive him for the manner of his departure and i'm gratefulfor what he did for us and i hope it goes well for him but i have to say if there is calm in football, i hope watford languish in the championship and we meet them there in a few years time whoever their coach is. is there, in football? we shall see. thank you, mike. i know you know deborahjames. —— deborahjones. iterate deborah james. -- deborah jones. we did a deborahjames. —— deborahjones. we did a scheme a few years ago to try and get _ did a scheme a few years ago to try and get doing triathlons. she did a scheme a few years ago to try and get doing triathlons.— and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner- _ and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she _ and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she was _ and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she was to _ and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she was to run i and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she was to run five i and get doing triathlons. she was a keen runner. she was to run five k| and get doing triathlons. she was a | keen runner. she was to run five k a day and did some brilliant things. the whole aura and spirit blew me away _ the whole aura and spirit blew me away this — the whole aura and spirit blew me away. this week has been really hard for everybody. she said this week that she is

receiving hospice care and that is what she revealed this week and as a result, donations to the fund set up continue to flood in. this time yesterday, deborah had raised more than two million pounds injust over a day. today, that figure stands at well over three million. i think initially she showed she would be happy with a quarter of a million. and she said these donations have made herfeel utterly loved and they've been accompanied by a wave of love and supportive messages.

the tweet is signed "w and c", for william and catherine. on yesterday's breakfast we featured an interview with deborah, in which her trademark honesty, courage and good humour shone through. we were inundated with messages from people who wanted to thank deborah — and to share their own stories of how she has helped and inspired them over the last few years. charlotte winfield has more. leanne was diagnosed with terminal cancer in march and given six months to live. she has three daughters aged ten, seven and three. i to live. she has three daughters aged ten, seven and three. i often think about. _ aged ten, seven and three. i often think about, particularly _ aged ten, seven and three. i often think about, particularly my i think about, particularly my three—year—old, will she have a memory of me? that is what i would

state media is reporting an outbreak in the capital pyongyang, but hasn't confirmed the number of cases. the country has no vaccination programme — despite being offered astrazeneca jabs and china's sinovac vaccine. in china, the covid lockdown of shanghai is now in its seventh week — and restrictions are becoming increasingly severe. in certain districts, food deliveries are now banned and residents can be forced into state—run quarantine centres if a neighbour tests positive. we're joined now by our shanghai correspondent robin brant good to see you. it is fascinating how the authorities are dealing with this outbreak with the restrictions now and when we think back, and it feels so long ago to the restrictions that we dealt with and had to struggle to get used to them, it's on a different scale in shanghai. it's on a different scale in shanghai-— it's on a different scale in shanthai. , , , shanghai. yes, completely. iwas doint a shanghai. yes, completely. iwas doing a quick _ shanghai. yes, completely. iwas doing a quick tally _ shanghai. yes, completely. iwas doing a quick tally before - shanghai. yes, completely. iwas doing a quick tally before we i shanghai. yes, completely. iwasl doing a quick tally before we came on and it is 27 months since you and

i and maybe charlie started talking about lockdown in china and yet the one being imposed on the people of shanghai almost 25 million people, is now at its most severe stage and the chinese lockdown is not the same as a salford or aberdeen lockdown. you pretty much cannot go outside of your house and anyone who tests positive and now close contacts as well, which can include people who live on the same level of apartments or maybe even the same column, you are taken to a quarantine centre where you are kept until you test negative and this is all part of china's determination to contain the virus and maintain what it calls its zero coving to policy —— covid policy, which is a whack a mole strategy in cities to make sure covid cannot spread and there isn't any coving here and it feels like a pretty dark wig as we are seven weeks in and where i am the next three days we are going to into a silent period —— pretty dark week.

no commercial to liberties of food, only government approved deliveries and you cannot get anything else in group buys from costco. an access to hospitals is restricted as well, so, yes, it goes on here. they are determined to get the cases 20 and they are coming down but still that point where the restrictions may be eased for the city are getting close to the end of two months and it seems elusive. it to the end of two months and it seems elusive.— to the end of two months and it seems elusive. ,., , ., seems elusive. it sounds extreme and it is how those — seems elusive. it sounds extreme and it is how those authorities _ seems elusive. it sounds extreme and it is how those authorities deal- it is how those authorities deal with it. every country deals with it in its own way, but one of the things that really surprise me is that if you are one of those people who has been taken into central quarantine, you are being told to leave their front door keys in the door so that their flats or accommodation can be disinfected. is that right?

a paper plane enthusiast has just broken the uk distance record after his creation sorry, i thought you didn't want to speak. everybody thinks they can do that. everybody thinks, to a degree. i've never been able to do it. a paper plane enthusiast has just broken the uk distance record after his creation flew a whopping 48 metres — that's nearly 160 feet. to be fair, he did have a slight advantage — he's also a professional aircraft designer. our science correspondent richard westcott went to meet him. it's the question every parent wants the answer to. how do i make the best paper aeroplane ever to impress the kids? yicheng normally designs real planes, but he'sjust sent the uk record for a paper plane, 48 metres, with this radical design. i love this. i've never seen a paper aeroplane like this. there is a little ridge there to put your finger on to throw it, there's lots of weight up the front and obviously it's very narrow, isn't it.

talk me through the design principles. how do we make this? well, this one is for the longest distance, so we have to throw it as far as i can, and the key thing is i need to reduce the drag so it can go further and i can throw as hard as possible. so the wing will not lose its shape or become very flexible. so you want the rigidity, the weight up the front. exactly. and narrow so there is less drag. and that is for distance. yes. the rules are simple. one paper a4 sheet under 100 grams, no tearing, glueing or ballast allowed. here is my attempt with a little help from cameraman andy, because he's got a physics degree. i've got a feeling i don't have the wingspan, but we will see. you go first. show me how it's done. all right. 0k. music: "ride of the valkyries".

ok, you've hit the door. clear the oche. to point out i've got a bad back. i've pulled a muscle. so perhaps fewer steps. not bad. next, yicheng is off to attempt the world record, currently 69 metres. you been practising, i hear. early morning on a shopping mall in milton keynes. nice and quiet. what kind of distances are you doing, and what chances do you think you have in this global competition? in my practice i threw like 60 metres, about, so i think that really gives me a good chance to win the title. are you nervous? yes, i'm nervous. i've made some modifications to my wings and i've strapped a camera on, so let's see how well it goes now.

what we want to do was get a group of experts, health experts, community experts, legal experts and other to look at the law around cannabis. we are not talking about class a drugs. what we do know is at the moment with cannabis being criminal, huge lots of health implications and huge implications with younger people being criminalised. the met says it's seen a significant reduction in gun crime, with more than 500 firearms taken off the streets in the last year. the number of shootings has also fallen by 30% in the 12 months to april. scotland yard says the results are due to intelligence led operations in areas of high gang activity. the force is also joining a national weapons surrender being launched today. the holiday giant tui — which is based in crawley and flies from gatwick — has said it expects summer bookings to almost reach pre—pandemic levels this year. but the company has warned there will be no last minute low price deals due to high fuel costs.

the company said bookings had surged in the past six weeks, with people planning for summer breaks as covid travel restrictions have eased. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. onto the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini hello. good morning. at last, some proper rainfall for the parks and the gardens across the capital yesterday afternoon. but now with high pressure building as we head through today on the rest of the week it is looking dry or mostly dry. there is the possibility we will see heavy, thundery downpours moving through the south through the day on sunday. but for today, certainly dry out there at the moment. a chillier start to the morning when we saw yesterday with temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night come a bit too breezy for any dense mist to form. lots of sunshine around throughout

the morning and then in the afternoon there will be a little more in the way of cloud developing with temperatures reaching the high teens in celsius. we still have that fairly noticeable westerly wind blowing as well. overnight tonight, we see clear skies and temperatures will drop back, particularly in rural spots into single figures and then for friday a lot more sunshine around in the forecast and we will see some sunny spells through the afternoon as well. set to stay dry and temperatures peaking a little bit higher in the low 20s in celsius. warming up again further on saturday with the chance of those thundery showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. doctors and paramedics say that long waits for ambulances across the uk are having a dangerous impact

on patient safety. it's the first time i've ever had to phone for an ambulance in my whole entire life, and i've got four children. and so, when i really needed it, it wasn't there to help, and it should be. good morning. the bread rolls are all stacked up at this bakery in bolton at the start of the day. we have just found out how the uk economy stacked up at the start of this year. it grew byjust zero point 8%. i will explain why that is important and what it means for all of us. a passenger with no idea how to fly a plane successfully lands one in florida, after the pilot fell ill. celtic regain their crown in scotland. they win their 10th scottish premiership title in 11 years, after drawing with dundee united. and it is a lovely start to thursday across most parts of the uk. many staying dry. showers in the north and west. details coming up.

good morning. it's thursday, the 12th of may. ambulance services across the uk are in crisis because they can't guarantee reaching a patient in good time. that's the verdict of the president of the royal college of emergency medicine. it comes after bbc research revealed that the number of serious safety incidents involving ambulances in england — many of them linked to waiting times — rose by nearly 80% compared to before the pandemic. the 999 system is also under severe pressure in scotland, wales and northern ireland. jim reed has this report. i rememberjust lying down on my mum's lap, like, we needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible. ten—year—old willow spent four nights in hospital last october, after falling off her bike on a country path. i said, "help, i can't breathe. that's all i said. that's all that came into my mind. yeah, she was screaming for help. we didn't know what had happened. and we couldn't really move her, because she was in a real mess,

like a car accident rather than a bike accident. but when a passer—by called an ambulance, they were told it would be a ten hour wait for help, well above the two hour target for an accident like this. the family had to make their own way to hospital. we kept getting told by consultants that we should not have moved her, because her back and her neck injuries could have been quite severe. it's the first time i've ever had to phone for an ambulance in my whole entire life, and i've got four children. and so, when i really needed it, it wasn't there to help. and it should be. the ambulance service said it was under significant pressure that day because of high demand. it apologised and said willow should have been assessed differently, and paramedics assigned more quickly. across the uk, ambulance response times have been rising sharply over the last year. in england, the most serious, life—threatening cases should be seen within seven minutes. in march, the average was a record nine and a half minutes. for so—called category 2

emergencies, like strokes or heart attacks, the target is 18 minutes. the average is now over an hour. in wales, scotland and northern ireland, services are under similar pressure, with near record wait times. we've always been able to get ambulances to people, to bring them in. we may have had crowding in emergency departments. it's worse now. but we've always been able to get ambulances. and i think the fact that we are struggling to guarantee somebody an ambulance in a timely way, moves us into a whole new territory of patient safety issue. 23 ambulances... this is a big part of the problem. hospitals are extremely busy, so paramedics are often having to queue outside, before they can drop off patients. all this comes at a time when the number of 999 calls has been rising to record levels. if ambulances have to queue outside hospitals like this, it might mean they can't get out quickly to the next person on the line who needs help. and the concern is that could have a knock on effect on patient safety.

in the year before the pandemic, ambulance staff logged 312 serious safety incidents, where a patient could have died or been permanently injured. over the past year, that has risen to 551 reports. i took one step, and was actually falling towards the shed. 81—year—old carol took a tumble here in her front garden last year. again, an ambulance should have arrived within two hours. it took almost twice as long as that. if we hadn't been here, and she was an elderly person living on her own, she would have laid face down on a concrete floor in agony for hours, waiting for an ambulance, which isjust... the one thing that has done this completely knocked my confidence. i'm frightened to walk around to tesco's on my own. ijust can't do it. so it's interfered with my life completely. nhs england says record demand means the last few months have been some of the toughest ever for its staff.

it says safety is its absolute priority, and hospitals, ambulance trusts and care homes are working together to see more patients as quickly as possible. jim reed, bbc news. let's bring you some news. at seven o'clock we learned the uk economy grow by 0.8% in the first quarter of this year. grow by 0.8% in the first quarter of this ear. �* ., . grow by 0.8% in the first quarter of this ear. �* ., , ., ., ,. ., this year. ben has got more. i know ou are this year. ben has got more. i know you are to — this year. ben has got more. i know you are to bakery — this year. ben has got more. i know you are to bakery this _ this year. ben has got more. i know you are to bakery this morning. i this year. ben has got more. i knowj you are to bakery this morning. and everyone, one way or another, is affected by these figures. talk us through what we are hearing? you are absolutely right. what we look for _ you are absolutely right. what we look for in — you are absolutely right. what we look for in the economy is pretty similar— look for in the economy is pretty similar to — look for in the economy is pretty similar to what a baker looks for when _ similar to what a baker looks for when they— similar to what a baker looks for when they are looking in their open window _ when they are looking in their open window. they want to see growth. they— window. they want to see growth. they want — window. they want to see growth. they want to see things getting bigger — they want to see things getting bigger. that is what this figure is all about — bigger. that is what this figure is all about. the first three months of this year. _ all about. the first three months of this year, the uk economy grew by 08%~ _ this year, the uk economy grew by 08%~ that — this year, the uk economy grew by 0.8%. that means it is growing, it is getting — 0.8%. that means it is growing, it is getting bigger, there is more money. — is getting bigger, there is more money, there is more investment,

to the government. it's been announced by the mayor, who's currently in los angeles, as part of his trip to the united states. cannabis has been legal in the city since 2016. sadiq khan visited a cannabis dispensary and factory, to see the impact legalisation has had. look, i genuinely have an open mind. what we need to do is get a group of experts, health experts, community experts, legal experts and others to look at the law around cannabis. we are not talking about class a drugs. what we do know is at the moment with cannabis being criminal, huge lots of health implications and huge implications with younger people being criminalised. the met says it's seen a significant reduction in gun crime, with more than 500 firearms taken off the streets in the last year. the number of shootings has also fallen by 30% in the 12 months to april. scotland yard says the results are due to intelligence led operations in areas

of high gang activity. the force is also joining a national weapons surrender being launched today office workers will soon be able to use their local tesco to work from. tesco has said it will create a flexible area, converting excess space at some of its stores into office space designed for hybrid working. businesses and individuals will be able to use the working space in the new malden store from mid—may. other locations across south london will include twickenham, sutton and the revamped battersea power station. well, if you're heading out on public transport this mornin, this is how tfl services are looking right now.. the tube is running well. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. at last, some proper rainfall for the parks and the gardens across the capital yesterday afternoon.

but now with high pressure building as we head through today on the rest of the week it is looking dried or mostly dry. there is the possibility we will see heavy, thundery downpours moving through the south through the day on sunday. but for today, certainly dry out there at the moment. a chillier start to the morning when we saw yesterday with temperatures having dropped back into single figures last night and a bit too breezy for any dense mist to form. lots of sunshine around throughout the morning and then in the afternoon there will be a little more in the way of cloud developing with temperatures reaching the high teens in celsius. we still have that fairly noticeable westerly wind blowing as well. overnight tonight, we see clear skies and temperatures will drop back, particularly in rural spots, into single figures and then for friday a lot more sunshine around in the forecast and we will see some sunny spells through the afternoon as well. set to stay dry and temperatures peaking a little bit higher in the low 20s in celsius. warming up again further on saturday with the chance of those thundery showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website

at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. in the last half hour we've heard that the uk economy has grown byjust 0.8 per cent. thejustice minister victoria atkins joins us from westminster. could you give us your response to those latest figures on the economy? we know these are very challenging times and we are still dealing with the hangover of the pandemic and, of course, putin's attack on ukraine has very much made worse the pressures such as energy prices and

so this is why this week with the queen's speech we were focused on producing a legislative framework to help grow our economy over the coming years and last year we had the fastest growing economy in the g7 because of the actions and the calls we made on the vaccine roll—out and the figures are going down now but we are on track to grow our way out of the situation in 2024 and 2025 and it difficulties and we take it very seriously but we have a plan to deal with this in the coming months and years. 50. plan to deal with this in the coming months and years.— months and years. so, the reassurance _ months and years. so, the reassurance you _ months and years. so, the reassurance you are - months and years. so, the reassurance you are giving i months and years. so, the - reassurance you are giving people this morning is that in two years time things might be better? yes. time things might be better? yes, and at the moment _ time things might be better? yes, and at the moment i _ time things might be better? is: and at the moment i think we time things might be better? 123 and at the moment i think we are the second fastest growing economy in the g7, second only to canada, so we know that international events are having an impact on the economy and

we know importantly that they are having an impact on people at home which is why there have been issues with energy prices and council tax rebates and further support through the house all support fun but we know that the macro economics is that there will be repercussions from putin's actions building on top of the pandemic, sadly. this is why measures in the queen's speech were so important because we are planning very much for the future and to grow our way out of this. abs, very much for the future and to grow our way out of this.— our way out of this. a lot of people a- reciate our way out of this. a lot of people appreciate straight _ our way out of this. a lot of people appreciate straight talking - our way out of this. a lot of people appreciate straight talking and - our way out of this. a lot of people appreciate straight talking and i i appreciate straight talking and i think maybe you have given an insight into that, which is that there is at least two or possibly three more years of very difficult conditions for people for which they have to be braced. is that what you have to be braced. is that what you have just told us?— have to be braced. is that what you have just told us? these are the imf redictions have just told us? these are the imf predictions as _ have just told us? these are the imf predictions as to _ have just told us? these are the imf predictions as to g7 _ have just told us? these are the imf predictions as to g7 growth - have just told us? these are the imf predictions as to g7 growth but i have just told us? these are the imf predictions as to g7 growth but we i predictions as to g7 growth but we are very, very aware of people at

home feeling the pinch through things such as energy prices which is why we want to help people in the immediate term with council tax rebates, raising the national living wage and so on but also the chancellor has to look at notjust peoples pockets and purses but also the much larger economic issues such as inflation and growth and the international factors over which we have frankly no control as we do not control energy prices rising out of russia's pressure on the energy market and we all have to deal with this. the us, the eu, they have even higher rates of inflation than we do. we know that these are difficult times but we are very much working to help people at home while trying to help people at home while trying to grow the economy nationally. you uuote to grow the economy nationally. you quote comparisons with other countries but to be honest if you

are sitting at home and you cannot afford the food you like to eat or the bills you would like to pay, that's of no consequence. that is what your government is choosing to do now to help you. and if i caution you, try not to talk about things you, try not to talk about things you have already announced, what are the things you are planning on doing afresh? i the things you are planning on doing afresh? :, : : , the things you are planning on doing afresh? ., .. , ,., , the things you are planning on doing afresh? ., .. , , ,., the things you are planning on doing afresh? ., .. , , y., ., ,, afresh? i accept the points you make about people — afresh? i accept the points you make about people at _ afresh? i accept the points you make about people at home _ afresh? i accept the points you make about people at home being - afresh? i accept the points you make i about people at home being concerned about people at home being concerned about what is happening in their households and i were setting the international context because sadly energy prices... international context because sadly energy prices- - -_ energy prices... we've done that art of energy prices... we've done that part of the _ energy prices... we've done that part of the interview _ energy prices... we've done that part of the interview and - energy prices... we've done that part of the interview and i've i energy prices... we've done that i part of the interview and i've asked you very specifically to talk about the next thing you are going to do. i don't want to go backwards, i want you to talk about what your plans are for what you are going to do. i was trying to explain the government position because this is a really complicated issue and i was trying to give you a full answer, but what we have already done, because we

listened to people's concerns and in april we gave the £150 council tax rebate to help with energy prices and we have raised the national living wage for the lowest wage, which is a big deal, up to £9.50 with the help of employees and we have cut driving to school or work today, we are trying to help you and we have also announced injuly we will be raising, and what that means is that you will earn £12,500 and you will not be taxed either 12 and a half thousand pounds and that is a big deal because we think 70% of workers will be better off, even with a health and social care levy we had to impose, they will be better off with that national threshold cut and that is a big deal and in the autumn as temperatures

fall, heat our homes more slice of council tax to help with those bills but the chancellor has been clear. we will, as we did through the pandemic, in fairness, we will, as we did through the pandemic, infairness, and we will, as we did through the pandemic, in fairness, and we as they those phrases, and i'm listening carefully to what you are saying, but those phrases you use and they've been used a lot at the moment, keeping things if you cannot pay if you are one of those people who is by a conservative mp is not that you haven't got enough money, is that you are not good enough at cooking. i’m is that you are not good enough at cookinu. �* :, :, ~' is that you are not good enough at cookinu. �* ., ., ,, ., _, , cooking. i'm looking at the comments of lee anderson. _ cooking. i'm looking at the comments of lee anderson. those _ cooking. i'm looking at the comments of lee anderson. those are _ cooking. i'm looking at the comments of lee anderson. those are the i of lee anderson. those are the things that people are hearing. do you want to make some reference to

lee anderson's comments made yesterday?— yesterday? because this is an interview it's _ yesterday? because this is an interview it's always - yesterday? because this is an interview it's always a - yesterday? because this is an i interview it's always a snapshot, where we are in the day doing the media run. we have also doubled the household support fund which is a really important fund for local councils and it's already in position and we have doubled it to £1 billion to help councils give money to the most vulnerable people, people in their local communities who most need it, so i urge people to have a look at that if they are finding things very difficult, to reach out to their councils for help. in terms of lee anderson's comments yesterday, i saw the debate and i think in fairness he was talking about his local food bank who were offering notjust immediate help with food but also longer term support, and there are community groups around the country who try to help people notjust in the short term but the medium and longer term as well and i do not agree with the

bank, but if they have created these rules, i imagine, because they believe it will help local residents and i know that there are many community groups and i know in my constituency they do great work trying to help people in a range of ways in the short—term but in the longer term and that sort of work, volunteers, knowing their local communities, it's frankly not for me to say that was wrong or that was right. we want to help people in the immediate term and that is what we as a government are trying to do but i'm very, very conscious that sometimes there may be issues such as people not understanding that they can claim certain types of benefit and we know for example there are 850,000 households who are entitled to pension credit but not claiming them at the moment and people understanding what may be available to them, precisely to help them in these difficult times.

defeat against dundee united. this is the man credited with their success. manager, ange postecoglou, poised to take the title in his first season. it was a quiet first half for celtic but they knew what they had to do. giorgos giakoumakis heading in to put them one up. but united reacted well. 16—year—old rory mcleod hitting the post. the wee bairn offside. the home side kept the pressure up but couldn't hit the target. dundee united also needed points and dylan levitt�*s incredible shot gave them one. a nervy last few minutes for celtic, but it finished in a draw and gave them that crucial point. it's taken every ounce of me this year to get us to where we are, and i think most people will tell you when you get to the finish line, you pretty much just want

to collapse, because you realise just how much everyone has put into it and i'm so proud of this group and so happy for our supporters. after 31 league games unbeaten, celtic have wrestled the title back from rivals rangers and are once again champions of scotland. not many celtic fans were able to get tickets at tannadice, so they have gathered outside celtic park to celebrate. the final game of the season is on saturday and celtic will be playing here. regardless of the result, they will be lifting the trophy in front of their home fans and that is when the party will really begin. and what a job and has done at celtic — and what a job and has done at celtic -- — and what a job and has done at celtic. —— what a job ange postecoglou has done. now to the title race in the premier league, and manchester city took another big step to a fourth premier league title in five seasons, after they thrashed wolves 5—1 at molineux. incredibly, kevin de bruyne scored four goals, including a first—half hat—trick, to send city three points

clear of liverpool with just two games to go. pep guardiola's side now need only four points from their final two fixtures to confirm their fourth title in five seasons. there were a couple of huge games in the fight for premeir league surival and leeds united are in deep trouble, after a 3—nil defeat at home to chelsea. for the second game running, leeds had a man sent off in the first half and looked rather helpless. our backs are against the wall and we are in a difficult situation and we are in a difficult situation and we are in a difficult situation and we are in a scenario where none of us live where in big games we make the same mistakes but we are all in this together and we are doing everything we can and i'm trying to show them that i am up for the challenge so i can help them be up to the challenge. everton were held to a goalless draw at already relegated watford. frank lampard's side moved two points clear of the relegation zone, and have three games left to play. and two goals from jamie vardy

helped leicester city beat already relegated norwich 3—0, to end their seven—game winless run in the premier league and take them up to 10th in the table. meanwhile, relegated watford have already appointed rob edwards as their new manager for next season. he'sjust won the league 2 title, with forest green rovers in his first season, and his departure really hasn't gone down well with the owner there. dale vince says he's far from happy about the way watford approached edwards. i bear him no ill will, right. iforgive him for the manner of his departure and i'm gratefulfor what he did for us and i hope it goes well for him but i have to say if there is karma in football, i hope watford languish in the championship and we meet them there in a few years time whoever their coach is. now to cricket and it's looking like england will have a new test coach by the end of the week. the former new zealand captain (brendon mccullum

has agreed to role — subject to the contract being finalised. he's currently coaching in the indian premier league, but he's likely to end his work with the franchise to be full—time with england. and the triple olympic swimming champion, adam peaty says he's devastated after being ruled out of the world championships next month. peaty fractured a bone in his foot, whilst training in the gym and has been advised to rest for six weeks. the world championships take place in budapest next month. he said this was the first real injury he's had, but that he hopes to build up strength for the commonwealth games in late july. we wish add a speedy recovery. it gives— we wish add a speedy recovery. it gives the — we wish add a speedy recovery. it gives the others a chance because he's won— gives the others a chance because he's won the titles at the last three — he's won the titles at the last three world championships. it�*s he's won the titles at the last three world championships. it's not a treat three world championships. it's not a great compliment _ three world championships. it's not a great compliment to _ three world championships. it's not a great compliment to say - three world championships. it's not a great compliment to say that, i three world championships. it's not a great compliment to say that, it i a great compliment to say that, it gives the others a chance. superman is his nickname. he gives the others a chance. superman is his nickname.— is his nickname. he has got enough time for the — is his nickname. he has got enough time for the commonwealth. i is his nickname. he has got enough. time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show — time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show off, _ time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show off, do _ time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show off, do they? _ time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show off, do they? i - time for the commonwealth. nobody likes to show off, do they? i know. likes to show off, do they? i know what ou likes to show off, do they? i know what you are _ likes to show off, do they? i know what you are referring _ likes to show off, do they? i know what you are referring to. - likes to show off, do they? i know what you are referring to. what i likes to show off, do they? i knowl what you are referring to. what are we referring _ what you are referring to. what are we referring to? _ what you are referring to. what are we referring to? we _ what you are referring to. what are we referring to? we had _ what you are referring to. what are we referring to? we had a - what you are referring to. what are we referring to? we had a go i what you are referring to. what are we referring to? we had a go at i we referring to? we had a go at -a er we referring to? we had a go at paper aeroplanes _ we referring to? we had a go at paper aeroplanes and _ we referring to? we had a go at paper aeroplanes and then i we referring to? we had a go ati paper aeroplanes and then matt we referring to? we had a go at - paper aeroplanes and then matt comes up paper aeroplanes and then matt comes up with— paper aeroplanes and then matt comes up with his _ paper aeroplanes and then matt comes up with his factory engineered

shower is possible as well. many will stay dry through the day through the north—west of scotland and in the sunshine will be warmer than yesterday in the south—east corner and a cool day in the breeze across the north—west of scotland. overnight we could see the thick cloud with a few spots of rain pushed further south with northern england and parts of north wales in the north midlands before clearing through continuing with wet weather in the highlands and islands of scotland and temperatures tonight up a little bit on last night and once again well clear of a frost. into friday's forecast, another son east of england and wales and for many will stay that way with a bit of fair weather cloud building and a dry day by and large for scotland and northern ireland and there will be showers in the north and west of scotland and a windy day as winds will get close to gale force around the western coast through the day and temperatures limited by the strength of the wind per head further south, lighter winds and more sunshine and it will feel warmer and warmer still into the weekend with high pressure in charge

but we could see showers push out from france and spain as we go through saturday into sunday and thatis through saturday into sunday and that is one thing we have to keep a close eye on if we have outdoor plans in the next few days. looking on saturday, dry, sunny start for the majority and a bit of cloud building here and there but even here, drierand brighter in building here and there but even here, drier and brighter in the next couple of days and it will feel warm in the sunshine with temperatures in the high teens and low 20s but if you have any outdoor plans in the evening keep an eye on the skies because we could see showers or thunderstorms in southern counties of england and they will rumble through the night if we see them pushing across eastern areas but whilst we will have a few heavy showers on sunday, most will be dry and with sunny spells around it will feel warm once you are out there, particularly across western areas where we see the highest of the temperatures between 19 or 22 degrees for some. back to you both. your paper aeroplane was better than

part of society is going to feel this. you are going to get a sense from people there about how it is going to affect business? exactly. you look at how busy things are, you would think this is a picture of a very healthy economy. teacakes being taken from the oven, wrapped up and packaged. they go along that line, they get to the wheel that is turning. we find out how the wheels of the economy are turning this morning. let me run through some of the key numbers. gdp is a value of all the goods and services we make and sell. it grew slightly by 0.8% in the first three months of this year. that is less than economists were expecting. in march, the economy started to shrink. it shrank by 0.1%. that does

not bode well for the future. economists are now saying we can expect the economy to slow down even more it later in the year. why is that? a combination of high food prices, fuel cost, energy bills all of that is putting pressure on household budgets. people have less to spend. that puts less money into the economy. why does that matter? an economy that is growing means more investment and morejobs, and thatis more investment and morejobs, and that is betterfor us. worrying red lines starting to flash. let's find out what it means. we will speak firstly to kai noye feld, an economist. that figure, 0.8%, suggest the economy is growing but not as much as people would want it to? ., . , , ., not as much as people would want it to? .. , , ., , not as much as people would want it to? , ,., , to? exactly. growth is roughly in line with our _ to? exactly. growth is roughly in line with our forecast. _

help, what do they want to see? yeah, i think there are a number of measures that could be taken. you could increase benefits for the most vulnerable households. you could lower taxes, you could have direct grants, as we are seeing with the energy bill. anything that helps with people dealing with the cost of living crisis and increasing the income, which would help with the expenditure side, that would stimulate gdp. thank you very much. let's find out how it is affecting this business. we can speak to gary, one of the company directors. when you look at how people's spending habits are changing, the pressures on household, what patterns are using in your business?— in your business? people are spending _ in your business? people are spending less? _ in your business? people are spending less? spending i in your business? people are spending less? spending a l in your business? people are i spending less? spending a little bit less, spending on quality. it is the quality— less, spending on quality. it is the quality aspect we are trying to stick— quality aspect we are trying to stick to — quality aspect we are trying to stick to. people come back and it is worth— stick to. people come back and it is worth the _ stick to. people come back and it is worth the extra few coppers going forward _

the uk are in crisis, according to the president of the royal college of emergency medicine. bbc research reveals the number _ of emergency medicine. bbc research reveals the number of _ of emergency medicine. bbc research reveals the number of safety - reveals the number of safety incidents involving ambulances in england, many of them linked to waiting times, rose by nearly 80% compared to before the pandemic. the 999 system is also under severe pressure in scotland, wales and northern ireland. jim reed has this report. i rememberjust lying down on my mum's lap, like, we needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible. ten—year—old willow spent four nights in hospital last october, after falling off her bike on a country path. i said, "help, i can't breathe. that's all i said. that's all that came into my mind. yeah, she was screaming for help. we didn't know what had happened. and we couldn't really move her, because she was in a real mess, like a car accident rather than a bike accident. but when a passer—by called an ambulance, they were told it would be a ten hour wait for help, well above the two hour target for an accident like this. the family had to make their own way to hospital. we kept getting told by consultants that we should not have moved her, because her back and her neck

injuries could have been quite severe. it's the first time i've ever had to phone for an ambulance in my whole entire life, and i've got four children. and so, when i really needed it, it wasn't there to help. and it should be. the ambulance service said it was under significant pressure that day because of high demand. it apologised and said willow should have been assessed differently, and paramedics assigned more quickly. across the uk, ambulance response times have been rising sharply over the last year. in england, the most serious, life—threatening cases should be seen within seven minutes. in march, the average was a record nine and a half minutes. for so—called category 2 emergencies, like strokes or heart attacks, the target is 18 minutes. the average is now over an hour. in wales, scotland and northern ireland, services are under similar pressure, with near record wait times. we've always been able to get ambulances to people, to bring them in.

we may have had crowding in emergency departments. it's worse now. but we've always been able to get ambulances. and i think the fact that we are struggling to guarantee somebody an ambulance in a timely way, moves us into a whole new territory of patient safety issue. 23 ambulances... this is a big part of the problem. hospitals are extremely busy, so paramedics are often having to queue outside, before they can drop off patients. all this comes at a time when the number of 999 calls has been rising to record levels. if ambulances have to queue outside hospitals like this, it might mean they can't get out quickly to the next person on the line who needs help. and the concern is that could have a knock on effect on patient safety. in the year before the pandemic, ambulance staff logged 312 serious safety incidents, where a patient could have died or been permanently injured. over the past year, that has risen to 551 reports. i took one step, and was actually

falling towards the shed. 81—year—old carol took a tumble here in her front garden last year. again, an ambulance should have arrived within two hours. it took almost twice as long as that. if we hadn't been here, and she was an elderly person living on her own, she would have laid face down on a concrete floor in agony for hours, waiting for an ambulance, which isjust... the one thing that has done this completely knocked my confidence. i'm frightened to walk around to tesco's on my own. ijust can't do it. so it's interfered with my life completely. nhs england says record demand means the last few months have been some of the toughest ever for its staff. it says safety is its absolute priority, and hospitals, ambulance trusts and care homes are working together to see more patients as quickly as possible. jim reed, bbc news. we're joined now by akshay patel, whose mother bina died in october last year, after waiting almost an hourforan ambulance.

to the united states. cannabis has been legal in the city since 2016. sadiq khan visited a cannabis dispensary and factory, to see the impact legalisation has had. the met says it's seen a significant reduction in gun crime with more than 500 firearms taken off the streets in the last year. the number of shootings has also fallen by 30% in the 12 months to april. scotland yard says the results are due to intelligence—led operations in areas of high gang activity. the force is also joining a national weapons surrender being launched today encouraging people to hand in their guns without fear of prosecution. this week is mental health awareness week and the london fire brigade is celebrating the achievements of one firefighter who has set up a support group. dean corney from beckenham white watch, who has struggled with his own mental health in the past, set up a weekly men's mental health walking and talking group.

we looked into the job and delved into why men don't reach out early, the things that stop them reaching out and we just wanted to create something. out and we 'ust wanted to create something.— out and we 'ust wanted to create something. predominantly this is aimed at 999 _ something. predominantly this is aimed at 999 services, _ something. predominantly this is aimed at 999 services, stuff- something. predominantly this is aimed at 999 services, stuff we | something. predominantly this is - aimed at 999 services, stuff we have been subjected to, normal mainstream people _ been subjected to, normal mainstream people won't have been subjected to. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. the tube is running well. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. at last, some proper rainfall for the parks and the gardens across the capital yesterday afternoon. but now with high pressure building as we head through today on the rest of the week it is looking dried or mostly dry. there is the possibility we will see heavy, thundery downpours moving through the south through the day on sunday. but for today, certainly dry out there at the moment. a chillier start to the morning when we saw yesterday with temperatures having dropped

back into single figures last night and a bit too breezy for any dense mist to form. lots of sunshine around throughout the morning and then in the afternoon there will be a little more in the way of cloud developing with temperatures reaching the high teens in celsius. we still have that fairly noticeable westerly wind blowing as well. overnight tonight, we see clear skies and temperatures will drop back, particularly in rural spots, into single figures and then for friday a lot more sunshine around in the forecast and we will see some sunny spells through the afternoon as well. set to stay dry and temperatures peaking a little bit higher in the low 20s in celsius. warming up again further on saturday with the chance of those thundery showers on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now.

hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. donations to the fund set up up by deborahjames — also known as bowel babe — are continuing to flood in, after she revealed that she's now receiving hospice care for her cancer. this time yestersday, deborah had raised more than two million pounds injust over a day. today, that figure stands at well over three million. those donations have been accompanied by a wave of love and supportive messages, including a tweet from the duke and duchess of cambridge.

the tweet is signed "w and c", for william and catherine. on yesterday's breakfast we featured an interview with deborah, in which she showed her trademark honesty, courage and good humour. we were inundated with messages from people who wanted to thank deborah — and to share their own stories of how she has helped and inspired them over the last few years. charlotte winfield has more. leanne was diagnosed with terminal cancer in march and given six months to live. she has three daughters aged ten, seven and three. i often think about, particularly my three—year—old, will she have a memory of me? that is what i would really like. i would love to live long enough that she can remember me herself when she is older and does not have to rely on her sisters to say this

is what mum was like. leanne says watching deborah's videos made herfeel confident to speak about her illness openly. it's about making your cancer journey worthwhile. like, make sure it is not wasted, and i think she has definitely done that. the one thing that really touched me was when she said that she felt utterly loved by everything people had done, and i think, for me, that really resonated, because throughout my whole journey i've had so much support, so many people being so kind to me, and yeah, it's really moving and i can really understand how she feels. benjamin was a fit and active 33—year—old when he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018.

it was already advanced, and he died just seven months after starting treatment. shortly before his death, he discovered deborah. so he actually came across deborahjames through her launch of the fu cancer book and this was in 2018 and he was able to go to one of the launch events she was hosting in bath, and he met her and they had a bit of a chat at the event there and he said to her, you are a loose cannon. i want to be just like you. he could see her lust for life. abby has also been inspired by deborah's story. after her brother's death, she set up a charity along with her mum and sister to raise awareness and support others. she has changed the narrative around living with cancer. so much so that it has inspired others to think that they do not have to be defined by the cancer.

atjust 27, and a mum to two young children, megan was told she had bowel cancer. she says deborah's you, me and the big c podcast helped her through the hardest times. on my really tough days, because there were several of them, hearing somebody like deborah, when she is going through every day, and mine was only in comparison a short amount of time really puts things into perspective. when deborah announced that she was in end—of—life care, i cried. and it was almost like, well, she has defied all the odds and it was never going to happen for her because its deborahjames. when kerstin was diagnosed three years ago, she also began following deborah's journey. i think i was particularly inspired

because of her love of dance, and i am a dance and fitness instructor and to be able to see what she was doing and dance her way through out hoeever she was feeling made me feel like i could still do it because i very much felt at one point, i would never do it again i would never dance again or teach again, i was too poorly and really ill and then i would look at her and think she is dancing up and down the corridors in the hospital and dancing in the ward attached to a drip. if you can do it, i can as well, and i will. after eight rounds of chemotherapy, ruth has now been given the all clear. she said it was deborah that inspired her keep going. the first thing which catches you out is deborah's smile, her energy and the way she just makes it look like, i don't know, so less scary and so like, yes, you can do this, and i remember when i was diagnosed, your children are basically absolute strength, yourfight, but in your darkest hour, when you can't sleep,

they can be your achilles' heel, because you are thinking of all of the darkest of situations and i remember going through my phone, scrolling through my phone, and i would always end up on deborah's page and you just have to carry on. regardless, you have to, especially when your children are so young. but she helped, massively, with sharing her story for me. ruth has this message for deborah. thank you. sorry... thank you for being so selfless and, you know, sharing your story and being there for people in the most vulnerable, haunting states, because you know, you have been and you deserve so much more and, yeah, i'm just really, really, really grateful. and we'rejoined now by doctor kathryn mannix

who is a former palliative care consultant and author. good morning to you. those names on those people we were speaking to into the report, megan and kirsten and ruth, they were all saying the same thing, that somebody doing what deborah has done so publicly and so openly and so honestly is massively impacting on people trying to deal with similar things. yes. impacting on people trying to deal with similar things.— with similar things. yes, it is so important. _ with similar things. yes, it is so important, isn't _ with similar things. yes, it is so important, isn't it? _ with similar things. yes, it is so important, isn't it? and - with similar things. yes, it is so important, isn't it? and for - with similar things. yes, it is soj important, isn't it? and for me, deborah has been an absolute thought leader in this, because what she to journeys, really. there has been her public, dancing, sparklyjourney of hope and of dancing in corridors, and behind the scenes there has been deborah knowing that she would not outrun this in the end. and needing to come to terms with that and finding that i'm being honest about

finding that i'm being honest about finding that i'm being honest about finding that very frightening. so, early on in the podcast, bowel babe, they very courageously did an episode on death and dying and all of these are available on the pod cast, you, me and the big c. at that point, rachel bland, one of the three instigators of the podcast was talking about knowing she was on borrowed time and in the position then that deborah is in now and speaking about getting things ready and how she would put things in place for her son to be able to remember her, and deborah was representing the public voice of saying it is so sad and so frightening, i cannot bear to look at it or think about it, i don't know how you can be so brave. and over the next four years she has gradually done that journey over the next four years she has gradually done thatjourney and i've spoken to her a couple of times about it, where she has gradually moved into, what if, and how will i

manage this. and now she has decided where to be, at her parents home in her own home and her concern is to be with the people she loves most, her parents, her husband and children and to put things in place, writing her second book, and memory materials to try and pass her love into the future which he cannot be part of with the children. what an absolute star she has been. you are these in palliative _ absolute star she has been. you are these in palliative care, _ absolute star she has been. you are these in palliative care, and - these in palliative care, and looking at some of deborah's words, she said it's all about taking it a day at a time, step—by—step, being gratefulfor day at a time, step—by—step, being grateful for another sunrise. my whole family around me and we will dance through this together. you are all incredible, thank you for playing your part in myjourney. no regrets. enjoy life. the sentiments there at this stage in her life, they are so in keeping with all of us who have spoken to her and they are so in keeping with what she has

already shown us that this is a different time and this is another stage. different time and this is another state. , , ., ' different time and this is another state. , ,., ' ., stage. this is a different time, and et, over stage. this is a different time, and yet. over a — stage. this is a different time, and yet, over a career— stage. this is a different time, and yet, over a career in _ stage. this is a different time, and yet, over a career in palliative - yet, over a career in palliative care of 30—something years i've met a lot of people who are in the position of knowing that they are now approaching the end of their lives. they don't wake up in the morning thinking, i'm dying, they wake up and think, oh, i am living and whataml wake up and think, oh, i am living and what am i going to do today and what is today going to bring so it is really important if we are trying to support people who are family or friends at the end of life, it's important we know what to expect and it's important we understand the process ofjust gradually been more weary and deborah has talked about this, sleeping most of the day now and that there will not be unusual and that there will not be unusual and sudden surprises, but people are gradually less away can become unconscious. it is possible that

they will be a bit muddled in between, so being able to just speak calmly and remind people what is going on around them is really important and at the very, very end of somebody�*s life, they are just unconscious all the time and when we are only hit of the brain still working is the part that drives our breathing, so we will see unusual breathing, so we will see unusual breathing at this stage in life that we would not see under other circumstances. breathing moving between fast and very much slower, moving backwards and forwards between very deep and quite shallow, and at the very, very end, just shallow breathing and eventually a breath out that just shallow breathing and eventually a breath out thatjust does not have another in breath after it. and a lot of parents like deborah have said, is it going to frighten my children if they are in the room? no, it is not. we cannot make it not be sad, because it is goodbye, but knowing what to expect makes it not

frightening and if families know what to expect they are not frightened to go in and out of the room, to be themselves, to chat, to sing and dance and if that is what they need to do, we know people can still hear and the brain is responding to sound very late in the process, so let's bring ourselves and talk and reminisce and be present and let's be less afraid and deborah's campaigning has brought this to public attention. it is fantastic. on a last thought, and thank you, because you're talking about it in a real sense which is part of the point. 50 about it in a real sense which is part of the point.— part of the point. so people understand. _ part of the point. so people understand. if— part of the point. so people understand. if you - part of the point. so people understand. if you have - part of the point. so people understand. if you have an | part of the point. so people - understand. if you have an image of deborah, and i have from the many times we have spoken to her, what would it be? like a moment in time. it is an image of deborah and lauren and myself all trying to get from the salford studio to the station to get a train back to london where we were all working the next day, and

points behind rangers last season. it's their 10th title in 11 years. our starting point was a fair way back on the way this group of players and staff and everyone involved hasjust players and staff and everyone involved has just risen to the challenge, i could not be more proud of this group of people. they have backed me all the way. and what it means for our supporters is unbelievable. manchester city soon hope to celebrate in similar fashion and they took another big step towards winning the premier league title again, after thrashing wolves 5—1 at molineux. and incredibly, kevin de bruyne scored four goals, including a first—half hat—trick, to send city 3 points clear of liverpool, with just two games to go. pep guardiola's side now need only four points, from their final two fixtures to confirm, their 4th title in five seasons. at the bottom, everton moved a point closer to safety, after a goaless draw at watford who are already down while, leeds united's hopes

of staying in the top flight appear to be hanging by a thread.. leeds looked lost for most of the match _ leeds looked lost for most of the match with romelu lukaku slamming on a goal— match with romelu lukaku slamming on a goal and _ match with romelu lukaku slamming on a goal and leads did not manage a shot on— a goal and leads did not manage a shot on target and survival hopes out of— shot on target and survival hopes out of their— shot on target and survival hopes out of their hands as they stay in the bottom three level with burnley, who have _ the bottom three level with burnley, who have a _ the bottom three level with burnley, who have a game in hand. our backs are against the wall and we are in a difficult situation and we are in a scenario where none of us live where in big games we make the same mistakes but we are all in this together and we are doing everything we can and i'm trying to show them that i am up for the challenge so i can help them be up to the challenge. tonight, there's so much riding on the north london derby it's all about the race of the top four and — it's all about the race of the top four and arsenal win their final champions league place if they can win at— champions league place if they can win at tottenham who need a point to keep their— win at tottenham who need a point to keep their hopes alive. their rivals four points — keep their hopes alive. their rivals four points ahead of them. it will be like _ four points ahead of them. it will be like a — four points ahead of them. it will be like a cup final tonight. too hard _ be like a cup final tonight. too hard to— be like a cup final tonight. too hard to call. we will report on what

to throw it as far as i can, and the key thing is i need to reduce the drag so it can go further and i can throw as hard as possible. so the wing will not lose its shape or become very flexible. so you want the rigidity, the weight up the front. exactly. and narrow so there is less drag. and that is for distance. yes. the rules are simple. one paper a4 sheet under 100 grams, no tearing, glueing or ballast allowed. here is my attempt with a little help from cameraman andy, because he's got a physics degree. i've got a feeling i don't have the wingspan, but we will see. you go first. show me how it's done. all right. 0k. music: "ride of the valkyries".

ok, you've hit the door. clear the oche. to point out i've got a bad back. i've pulled a muscle. so perhaps fewer steps. not bad. next, yicheng is off to attempt the world record, currently 69 metres. you've been practising, i hear. early morning on a shopping mall in milton keynes. nice and quiet. what kind of distances are you doing, and what chances do you think you have in this global competition? in my practice i threw like 60 metres, about, so i think that really gives me a good chance to win the title. are you nervous? yes, i'm nervous. i've made some modifications to my wings and i've strapped a camera on, so let's see how well it goes now. music: "ride of the valkyries". richard wescott, bbc news, flying over cranfield.
