good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. borisjohnson is due to visit northern ireland later — with the government set to confirm new legislation to override parts of the brexit deal. an 18—year—old man is charged with murder after 10 people are shot in a racially motivated attack in the us city of buffalo. millions of pupils in england, wales and northern ireland will start sitting their first formal exams in three years today. the queen attends the first big event of her platinum jubilee, taking in the final night of the royal windsor horse show.

and how much plastic do you throw away in a week? i am with a family in margate who will document every single piece, every pot, every trade they use. and join me deep down in the vaults of the bank of england, surrounded by gold. we're talking about why it's never been more important to understand the economy. good morning, chelsea do the double. a week after winning the league title — they lift the fa cup at wembley. and more thunderstorms to come today but a brighter day across southern areas. more wet weather further north. all the details here on breakfast. it's monday the 16th of may. our main story. the prime minister will visit belfast today to urge the main parties there to resume power—sharing. the democratic unionist party is currently refusing to re—enter the assembly because of the post—brexit

trading arrangements known as the northern ireland protocol. meanwhile, the government is expected to introduce legislation which would allow ministers to override parts of that protocol. political correspondent nick eardley reports. boris johnson will arrive in northern ireland later to find a political system which is stuck. despite elections earlier this month, there's no new government. sinn fein finished top for the first time ever, but the democratic unionist party — the second largest at stormont — won't agree to power—sharing until the brexit deal is changed. they're worried about checks on goods travelling from great britain to northern ireland. even though many parties accept these arrangements, if unionist politicians don't, power—sharing can't get back up and running. borisjohnson signed the brexit deal, but he now agrees that changes are needed and is calling for the european union to negotiate tweaks. ahead of his visit today, boris johnson writes in the belfast telegraph...

back in london, ministers have been drawing up legislation which would allow them to override parts of the brexit deal. it's set to be confirmed tomorrow, but will have to pass through parliament, meaning it could be months before the government has the power to act without agreement from europe. but the move would be controversial. some fear it could spark a trade war at a time when many businesses and households can least afford one. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning. we heard rumours about the future of the protocol. will we get some clarity from the government this week? it get some clarity from the government this week? , ,., get some clarity from the government this week? , , ., ., this week? it will be something that looks like clarity _ this week? it will be something that looks like clarity because _ this week? it will be something that looks like clarity because the - this week? it will be something that looks like clarity because the best . looks like clarity because the best way it is explained to me about what is going on is the government is

gradually making it more clear to the eu what the consequences would be if the uk and eu cannot reach a deal on tweaking the protocol, the bit of the deal that applies to northern ireland so the idea behind publishing draft legislation about what you would do if the protocol was not functioning would be to make it clear this is where you are heading, the government saying this is what we are keeping in reserve if negotiations do not work. worth noting that the main thing boris johnson is saying is he believes there can be negotiations with the eu. they are not at the end of the road, they are still halfway down the road. maybe further than halfway depending on how long you have watched negotiations unfold. i think there is potential for watched negotiations unfold. i think there is potentialfor this to be less dramatic than it sounds at the moment. in terms of the trip to belfast today, i think the main job the prime minister has got is to

convince the democratic unionist party to soften their position. they are saying the only way they will join the government in northern ireland and stop holding up the process of a government being formed is if the protocol is dropped from the brexit deal altogether. no one is willing to do that. away will have to be found for the dup to soften their position without the protocol being dropped so can join the government and the logjam can be broken so logjam in northern ireland and also between the eu and uk. this is borisjohnson�*s attempt to break both. is boris johnson's attempt to break both. . nato officials have said vladimir putin's invasion strategy in the east of ukraine may be stalling. it's thought russia may have lost a third of its ground combat troops — and they are failing to gain ground in the donbas region. our correspondentjames waterhouse is in kyiv.

the invasion might have stalled but it seems it is far from over. that is the case- _ it seems it is far from over. that is the case. when _ it seems it is far from over. that is the case. when we _ it seems it is far from over. that is the case. when we talk- it seems it is far from over. twat is the case. when we talk about a third of combat troops, that is from the ministry of defence, it includes killed and injured soldiers and damaged equipment. nato thinks ukraine could put itself in a position to fully push the russians back and win this war. but when president zelensky was asked about mariupol he conceded he did not have military means to push the russians out and free the deadlock as things stand. the us made a similar conclusion a month ago saying the russians had lost around 25% of its invading force. i think this has been the case for some time and the reasons russia has looked to shift things eastwards and today ukrainians are saying the russians

are trying to launch offensives along the front line stretching from the east and across the land corridor to the south. but they are sustaining heavy losses in terms of bridge building equipment, continued morale issues. there is heavy fighting around a city in the north—east. which the russians now occupy, but ukrainians are keen to disrupt things so to not have friendly troops trapped further southin friendly troops trapped further south in the donbas region where we are continuing to see heavy fighting. are continuing to see heavy fiuuhtin. �* are continuing to see heavy fiuuhtin. ~ ~ ., fighting. and we saw ukraine winning eurovision on — fighting. and we saw ukraine winning eurovision on saturday, _ fighting. and we saw ukraine winning eurovision on saturday, a _ fighting. and we saw ukraine winning eurovision on saturday, a reminder i eurovision on saturday, a reminder of how much support they have across europe. of how much support they have across euro e. ~ . of how much support they have across euroe. ~ . .,, of how much support they have across euroe. ~ . ., of how much support they have across euro e, . ., .,, .,. ., europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat — europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat and _ europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat and sombre. _ europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat and sombre. when - europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat and sombre. when the l it was upbeat and sombre. when the results came in, it would have been around 3am, in the middle of a curfew. many ukrainians watching at home, they might have had house

parties. what matters to people is standing up for their country. one member of the group was not there, he was serving in the territorial defence and volunteering to fight. other members had special permission to leave the country to perform in italy. i think any gesture, big or small, that stands up for ukraine in its continued struggle in the invasion is seen as a good thing and is received well. for ukrainians to watch and sing along and cheer for something is something vastly different from the previous 82 days. james, thank you. a three—year—old boy has died in a suspected dog attack in greater manchester. it happened at a house in the town of milnrow, near rochdale, yesterday afternoon. greater manchester police says it's investigating previous incidents

involving dogs at the home. no arrests have been made. airlines and airports in eu countries are no longer telling passengers and staff to wear facemasks. the european union aviation safety agency says the change — which comes into force today — is a big step forward in normalising air travel. some airlines will still require face coverings to be worn. the queen has attended the final night of the royal windsor horse show — which was the first official event to celebrate her platinum jubilee. applause her majesty was met with a standing ovation as she arrived. celebrities including tom cruise, helen mirren and katherinejenkins appeared in the open—air celebration. and martin clunes. well spotted. and that was helen mirren as elizabeth i.

my mirren as elizabeth i. my goodness. did she think it was fancy dress? i do not think so. why did you not tell me? you do not have many more early is but did you look up to the sky this morning? it was really reining in sheffield and as i approached manchester it was getting better. but still wet here. if you have clear skies, take a look outside and you may see the moon has turned a dusky shade of red. here's a live shot from chile. it's the result of a total lunar eclipse, when the earth passes between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow over the moon. this year, it's happening while the moon is in its closest orbit to earth, making it a "super blood moon". if you do have spectacular pictures, we would love to see them. when i was in rio dejaneiro for the

olympics, the moon, 190 it went completely red. so you have seen one? i think it was to do with dust particles and the reflection of light. i did make a call out to get brian cox on the programme. he was busy? yes. probably had a lot on, teaching. i bet there is a hashtag for this this morning. here's a modern twist on the traditional fireworks display — a formation of drones carrying coloured lights. this took place in coventry last night to mark the start of its final month as the uk city of culture. that is beautiful. better than that moon. the uk city of culture. coventry. organisers of the 16—minute show — called our wilder family — say it was the largest and longest

drone display ever staged in the uk. shall we keep watching these? these are great. it is very clever. i'm sure it is preprogrammed on a computer. we had a butterfly. what was before the butterfly? it is like a quiz question. that is very funky. like an eagle. with a beating heart. that could be a phoenix. absolutely gorgeous. or a peacock. ithink absolutely gorgeous. or a peacock. i think that wins best pictures of the mourning 12 minutes in. ican see in. i can see why we were not asked to do commentary on anything. i think it is a peacock! no, that is a phoenix. we will get some more of that later. shall we talk about exams? a exa ms ? a stressful exams? a stressful time of year. most gcse and a—level exams start from today — which means many students in england, wales and northern ireland, will be sitting their first formal exams since the start of the pandemic. scottish highers began at the end of april.

for some it's their first experience of sitting in an exam hall, while school leaders are warning about a shortage of invigilators. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has been to a school in wigan to check on preparations. coming up in the next couple of weeks, it's absolutely essential that we have a good revision programme. at the deanery church of england high school in wigan, its final study sessions. when i did my mocks and i got the results, iwas like, agh. chelsea and her classmates have done their mock exams. tears were coming in my eyes as i was walking in. i could just see the paper, all the invigilatorsjust standing at the front with her arms crossed. i'm just like, "oh, my days!" the next time they go into the exam room, it will be for real. i want to do a career in medicine, so i obviously want to get them seven, eights and nines to, like, obviously, gain, like, offers from university. like major universities like manchester, even oxford. it wasn't as bad as i was expecting, considering what we did at revision

catching up in the canteen, it's talk of revision and exam timetables. if, you know, people have been off with covid, teachers have been good at live lessons and putting work on so we can do everything. i've got 21 exams spread out across a month and a half, so sometimes i'll go home and i'll revise for an hour or so and then i'll go to footballjust to take my mind off it. i think it's really important to not only...obviously, worry about your grades, but worry about yourself and worry about your mental health. ok, year11, you can put your pens down, please. the government says this year's students will be graded more generously than the last time exams were sat in 2019, but they won't get as many top grades as last year, when results were decided by teachers' assessments. pupils will get formula sheets to use in exams and there has been advance information for gcses and a—levels. so i've got two a—levels left — design and technology, and engineering i've got left, but i've got a btec and a ctec, as well.

jasmine is worried about what could come up. it's been a bit mad, to be honest, because we've missed so much time and every time someone was off we'd all have to go off. so, as engineering students, we can't do our things at home. it's more just all online or special software we don't have at home. and so we're all 18 now and it feels like we've missed a big chunk of, like, growing up in our in a—levels. it's just like stress constantly that you're not going to get everything done. and then, after that into actual jobs, it feels like we've not even been in school at all. we are really excited for our children to be able to show what they're brilliant at, as well, and do well in their gcses for the deputy head, mrs turner, it's about making pupils believe they can aim high. but there is no doubt anxiety levels are also high. most pupils haven't had any national exams since their sats in primary school. we are seeing children that

are presenting to us with really, really difficult social, emotional and mental health issues. we've got more children, probably triple, quadruple the amount of children, that previously would have struggled to go in an exam hall that are feeling that way now getting ready for an exam. it's all the stuff you put in beforehand. it's all the practice runs. it's all the getting yourselves ready that they've not had. sometimes, the children rub their hands together. i'll see their legs are shaking, breathing might get a little bit faster. so just go over to those children and just let them know that we're here. a quiet, "are you ok?" because of increased levels of anxiety, more invigilators are needed and some schools have struggled to recruit. here, the school nurse has stepped in. predominantly, an invigilator has always been like a retired person. unfortunately, when covid did hit, a lot of the retirees didn't want to come into school then. so there has been quite a bit of a shortage. breathe in. hold. in the library, there's an exam stress workshop.

as well as breathing techniques, minnie is on hand to help pupils and staff. if pupils are having a difficult day, then they can come into the wellbeing room. they can have a chat with me, they can spend a little time with minnie. we'll go for a walk and we'll talk to pupils that way. she's a very big part of the school. star pupil! she is the star pupil, yes. what can we think about that we could do to maybe help with that? teachers here have put on revision classes in the easter holidays and extra sessions after school. i'm going to actually do question 13. the government says national exams represent a major step back to normality. for these pupils, it's a major step towards their future goals and aspirations. our grades open the doors to what we want to become in this world and ijust honestly think that the support that the teachers are giving me and giving to the rest of the students as well is just really helpful. elaine dunkley, bbc news.

good luck to anybody starting their exams at the moment. a stressful time. this might not be the best advice but try... try not to worry about it. it is really hard. now the weather with matt. very dramatic picture behind you. yes, taken in winchester yesterday. a lively evening and night for some of you especially in southern england with frequent lightning and some thunder. most of it is fading but there will be more thunderstorms around today. still some heavy showers. and a wet start in the bulk of england, scotland and northern ireland. heavy bursts in northern ireland. heavy bursts in northern ireland before things improve later. and rain in northern england but improving in much of england and wales. scotland, the best of the weather in shetland. a breeze making

it feel cool in central and eastern parts and further rain into the afternoon. maybe some heavy showers in northern ireland and also in northern england with showers around this afternoon. some of them thundery. central and southern parts of england and wales, a better chance of staying dry. feeling humid in the sunshine. overnight, drier in scotland. cloud in the north and east. wet weather in parts of cornwall and the isles of scilly. fresher than last night but still mild. tomorrow, cloud across western areas. rain becoming heavy later in the day. much of scotland, england, eastern wales, a dry day and not only the warmest day of the week but the year so far. up to 26 in the south—east corner. more details later.

that looks good. let's take a look at some of today's papers. the belfast telegraph has an exclusive message from the prime minister today, ahead of his visit to northern ireland. writing in the paper, borisjohnson says the protocol will not be scrapped but must be fundamentally changed. "radiant, happy and simply glorious" is the headline on the daily mail, alongside a picture of the queen. the paper says her appearance at the closing of the royal windsor horse show last night — the second time she's been seen in public in three days — lifted the nation's spirits. the metro leads on the story that volodymyr zelensky has promised that ukraine will host eurovision next year, after his country's emotional song contest triumph. and one of the most—read stories on bbc online this morning is the news that david tennant and catherine tate are to return to doctor who. the bbc has confirmed the pair are currently filming for the show�*s 60th anniversary, which it will celebrate next year. tennant played the tenth doctor from 2005 to 2010, while tate played his companion

donna noble. we do not know exactly what part they will play but they are part of they will play but they are part of the filming. big doctor who news. mentioning eurovision. saturday night was busy. the fa cup final straight into eurovision. penalties and eurovision. did you stay up for the eurovision experience? not till the end. was it good? it was good. we are used to the uk being on the bottom right. last year was zero points. sam is big on tiktok and social media but i think he did diplomatic work in various countries in the build—up. and he performed perfectly. it was a bit like a win. and it was great to see ukraine win. the public vote was enormous. we

will talk about that later in the programme. there's been another mass shooting in the us. one person has died and four were critically injured after a man opened fire at a church in california, shortly after the morning service. it came after ten people were killed in a separate incident in buffalo, in new york state, on saturday. that attack has been described as racially motivated, and an 18—year—old man has been arrested. will grant reports. once again, one man's deep—seated racism and easy access to semi—automatic weapons have combined to deadly effect in america. 18—year—old payton gendron drove for miles to reach this supermarket in a predominantly black neighbourhood of buffalo. heavily armed and dressed in tactical gear, he livestreamed his entire horrific attack. the killing spree began in the car park, where four people were killed, before he entered the building and continued his rampage.

a security guard, a retired buffalo policeman, tried to stop him but was among those killed. most of the victims were black. before the attack, the gunman posted a kind of manifesto online — a hate—filled screed laying bare his extremist views. outside the supermarket, gendron was disarmed, taken into custody and charged with first—degree murder. in court, his lawyer entered a not—guilty plea. now, new and difficult questions have emerged. after threatening such violence last year, the gunman was held by the authorities for a mental health evaluation, then released. a further blow to this tight—knit community torn apart by a teenager with a gun. will grant, bbc news. the reverend mark blue is the president of the buffalo naacp, which works to support black communities in the us. hejoins us now from buffalo.

during an incident in east london at the weekend. the footage — which includes others besides this — shows officers dragging a man beside a police van outside kingsland shopping centre on saturday. officers say they were carrying out a pre—planned operation "targeting e—scooters and moped—enabled crime". nine people were arrested for violent disorder. nightclubs across london are warning they're "running out of time" to find bouncers — and they claim its leading to fears about safety. three quarters of bars, pubs and clubs have been found to be short of security staff. the night time industries association is calling for government action before the peak months of the summer — when securityjobs are in highest demand. a memorial garden where survivors can remember those who lost their lives looks likely to be created at the site of g re nfell tower. 72 people died when fire engulfed the residential tower block in north kensington almost five years ago. no decision has yet been made

about the future of the tower — but a commission is speaking to people as part of the process. we spoke to some of the families that lost people in 9/11, and they were part of a commission similar to ours to help decide what would happen. and they told us how difficult it was and how, honestly, that is part of the process — having people find out they don't like things and then readjust and keep changing the idea until we arrive there — and that is the process. travel, and a look at the tube board. the bank branch of the northern line reopens this morning after four months of improvement work. the district line has delays due to engineering works. and the metropolitan line is part suspended due to a signal failure. onto the weather now with sara. good morning to you. we've had some thunderstorms out towards the south west of london overnight. they are largely clearing away. we've got some, mist and murk, though, to start us off this morning in our suburbs. any showers pulling off

towards the north, but then some sunshine could spark off some further showers here and there as we run through the day today. a lot of places will stay dry with some sunshine — in the best of it, temperatures around 21 celsius. overnight tonight, we're dry, we're clear, we are going to see a little bit of mist and murk and maybe some passing cloud, as well. but we'll stay dry into tomorrow morning, and temperatures typically staying in low double figures, so it'll be a warm start tomorrow. i just want to show you the fronts charts to show you what a mess it is, actually, over the next few days. we've got low pressure dominating our weather this week, there are frontal systems trying to push further showers in at times. showers, so of course they are hit and miss — we won't all see them. tomorrow, though, largely dry for a good deal of the day, and a warm one — could be 25 or 26 degrees for us — very high 70s in fahrenheit. staying warm through the week, but unsettled. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. after the uk came second in

eurovision on saturday night, jason is on bbc radio london and he is asking what you come second in life, but still feel like a winner? hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on the programme this morning... we'll find out what happened when the bank of england let nina into its gold vault — which contains £2 billion worth of bullion. ben elton will be on the sofa for a chat about the stage version of his shakespearean sitcom upstart crow, which is back in theatres after being shelved during the pandemic. he yells in delight. and we'll catch up with the ukrainian eurovision commentator who gave us that moment of pure joy from inside his broadcast bunker. if you've just finished the milk

and you're about to throw the plastic bottle in the recycling — just hang on a moment because you might need to make a note of it first. that's because today is the first day of the big plastic count. our climate and environment correspondentjonah fisher is in margate to tell us more. good morning. good morning. we have been very kindly _ good morning. good morning. we have been very kindly invited _ good morning. good morning. we have been very kindly invited into _ good morning. good morning. we have been very kindly invited into the - been very kindly invited into the kitchen of rachel, alex and johnny and they have the dog dodge. daniel is in charge of the big plastic count and will be speaking to us in a minute. iam count and will be speaking to us in a minute. i am fascinated by what goes on behind—the—scenes and in particular about what happens to our recycling. this is the recycling for this house. just over from the weekend. last week i went to a

recycling plant in london to try to get a better idea of what exactly happens when we put that bike outside and it is taken away. every year, each of us, on average, produces about 400 kilos of household waste. 44% of it is then recycled. this is one of the biggest recycling plants in britain — in southwark, in south london. this facility deals with the recycling for about two million people every year. that's 150,000 tonnes. the number—one rule is if you're not sure, don't put it in your recyclable bin. with the ball, that baseball ball, that needs to be removed. when we collect the waste in the streets, we ask the general public to put plastics, glass, metals and paper in the in the same bin. so the role of this facility is to separate this material. the top few things that we are seeing coming to our facilities

and which should not would be the things like textiles — clothes. we see shoes, jumpers, etc. it can be recycled, but not on the kerb—side collection. it needs to be at a household waste recycling centre. we see a lot of, like, coffee cups. it can be recycled — again, if it's brought back to the the shop or the store where you bought your coffee. check on your local council's website where all the guidelines are provided and usually you get the contact details if you're unsure. so this feels like the end of the process here in this plant. absolutely. so at the very end. so you can see the different fractions. we've got all the plastics together — it will go to another plant to be sorted and recycled. we've got the cardboard and the paper, which will go directly to a paper mill to be recycled into new piece of cardboard and paper. and, finally, we've got the metals. of those, plastic is the hardest to recycle. but there are some success stories. each different type of plastic needs

a different processing plant. this one in east london, it processes milk bottles. you can see all these bales here. these are all milk bottles that we use at home and have been sorted and brought here. now, this plant is a big one. it processes about 400 million milk bottles every year. it works 2a hours a day round the clock. that's about 10% of the milk bottles that we use in the uk. the bottles are chopped up with their tops on and then a machine sorts the plastic by colour. so this is the end product. these are white plastic pellets — very much like lentils, in fact. now, tim, this is what's come out at the end here. what happens to these now? so what we're going to do with this is make new milk bottles. and these milk bottles can come back

here and create a circular loop to recycle them again and again. just over half our recycling is processed here. the rest is sent abroad. so how is this big plastic count going to work? daniel webb is one of the brains behind this survey. why have you decided to do this and how will it work? the have you decided to do this and how will it work?— will it work? the big plastic count is a collaboration _ will it work? the big plastic count is a collaboration between - will it work? the big plastic count i is a collaboration between everyday plastic— is a collaboration between everyday plastic and greenpeace and is biggest — plastic and greenpeace and is biggest ever investigation in the uk into household plastic waste. we are all doing _ into household plastic waste. we are all doing our bit to recycle but plastic— all doing our bit to recycle but plastic waste is everywhere so something doesn't add up and we need to get— something doesn't add up and we need to get into _ something doesn't add up and we need to get into the bottom of it. we are asking _ to get into the bottom of it. we are asking people across the country to count _ asking people across the country to count the _ asking people across the country to count the plastic they throw away for one _ count the plastic they throw away for one week. submit their results into our— for one week. submit their results into our special website and that will then— into our special website and that will then generate the data that we

first, we don't want to make anyone feel guilty— first, we don't want to make anyone feel guilty for the plastic waste they use — feel guilty for the plastic waste they use through the week. rachel has already said she is making huge changes— has already said she is making huge changes and has done already but this is— changes and has done already but this is still— changes and has done already but this is still how much they are going — this is still how much they are going through in one weekend. plastic— going through in one weekend. plastic is — going through in one weekend. plastic is the default material, we cannot— plastic is the default material, we cannot avoid very easily. what we need _ cannot avoid very easily. what we need to— cannot avoid very easily. what we need to do— cannot avoid very easily. what we need to do is we need help to make changes— need to do is we need help to make changes and that is what we want to do with— changes and that is what we want to do with this — changes and that is what we want to do with this project, we want to present— do with this project, we want to present the data to government, supermarkets and retailers. if supermarkets and retailers. people supermarkets and retailers. if people are seeing this now, they have not sent in for the papers, they can still get involved. absolutely. go to thebigplasticcount. com absolutely. go to thebigplasticcount.com to sign up. thank— thebigplasticcount.com to sign up. thank you — thebigplasticcount.com to sign up. thank you so much for having us. this is the rubbish for this family forjust the weekend. i wonder how much you and your family will create in a full week. aha, much you and your family will create in a full week-— in a full week. a lot, i can tell

hayes has done an incrediblejob, 11 trophies since she has been there. understandably emotional as chelsea got themselves over the line to complete the double week after they won the women's super league. they saw off manchester city three having to extra time to win the fa cup for the fourth time. it went to extra time — chelsea were heading for victory after this brilliant second—half goalfrom erin cuthbert who put them 2—1 up. but in the 89th minute, city pressed forward and grabbed an equaliser — hayley raso straight off the bech hayley raso straight off the bench to see the game go to extra time. no penalties needed, though — sam kerr's shot was deflected in off alex greenwood and that proved to be the winner — to the delight of emma hayes after a challenging season. there is no denying it was the best fa cup final, i think, in recent years. but we dig so deep — had players carrying cramp, groin strains, everything —

that we can dig it out and i thoughtjust...by far and away my favourite win. i really feel we've had to deal with a lot this year, on and off the pitch, and that one is for everyone at the club because we've been through a lot. it is getting interesting in the premier league title race. manchester city will be crowned premier league champions if they beat aston villa in their final game of the season. but liverpool play against southampton tomorrow night. when that and they would be one point behind manchester city going into the final game because manchester city dropped points yesterday in a dramatic game at west ham united. craig templeton reports. here he comes. saved by fabianski. if that had gone in, manchester city would have one hand on the premier league title. now there's still a chance it could fall out of their grasp. it was the jarrod bowen show in the first half for west ham.

incredible! jarrod bowen for west ham! his two goals had the champions concerned. but, as they so often do, city found a way — even if it was a west ham defender that made it 2—2. mahrez�*s miss means liverpool can close the gap to one point. city, though, will retain their crown if they beat aston villa on the final day. we have our chance for the last game with our people in the etihad stadium to do the last 95 minutes to win the title. that's the tale at the top. the story at the bottom is equally tight. and the header�*s in, and pascal struijk equalises in added time! leeds' late leveller means they're out of the bottom three — they still believe. i went to dinner two nights ago and, walking down the street, i heard 15, 20 people saying, "come on, we're behind you, we're with you, keep going, got to believe." everton knew a win would secure their safety. a flick off dominic calvert—lewin's chest gave them the perfect start. when you haven't scored in the league since august,

always good to check the ref knows it was yours. but against ten men, watford scored two in two minutes. it's all going horribly wrong at goodison again. a 3—2 defeat means, for everton, the nervous wait continues. that is also the case for burnley — a penalty from harry kane, one of spurs' own — puts the clarets in the relegation zone. as for the north london fight forfourth, tottenham are there for now — over to arsenal tonight. craig templeton, bbc news. a fascinating weekend ahead as the premier league comes to a climax. stjohnstone will head into the scottish premiership play—offs after being beaten 4—0 by hibs. a hat—trick from james scott ensured hibs' first home win since february, meaning stjohnstone will now face inverness caledonian thistle in a two legged play off as they look to retain their top—flight status. stockport county have won promotion back to the football league,

after spending 11 years playing in the fifth and sixth tiers of english football. they needed a draw at home to halifax to be absolutely certain — goals from paddy madden and will collar secured a 2—0 win and there were joyous scenes at the final whistle on the edgeley park pitch — players, staff and fans alike celebrated winning the national league players, staff, fans. great scenes. novak djokovic won his first title of the year at the italian open. the world number one beat stefanos tsitsipas 6—0, 7—6 to wrap up his sixth italian open title — the last competition before the french open gets underway next week. he will beat the defending champion there. and iga swaitek won the women's event — that's her 28th victory in a row. it also means she's won five

tournaments in a row — victory in rome following wins in doha, indian wells, miami and stuttgart. can anyone stop her at roland garros? that title, she has won before. the french open just one week away. fantastic white thank you very much for that, chetan. we spoke to matt about half an hour ago. he has gone one better. good morning. at last, gone one better. good morning. at last. some — gone one better. good morning. at last, some sunshine _ gone one better. good morning. at last, some sunshine across - gone one better. good morning. at last, some sunshine across the - last, some sunshine across the southern coastal counties this morning. after the overnight storms. those have faded but the rain has moved northwards. you can see how the showers have faded but the wet weather is pushing northwards across northern england, scotland and northern ireland. we still have one or two heavy showers across the south. parts of wales, the midlands, drifting into northern england through the rush then brightening scares many come a bit of sunshine but the scattering of showers developing, some heavy and thundery but many southern counties only have

a few showers. this morning, northern ireland, finer than england, southern scotland, outbreaks of rain coming and going pushing into the rest of scotland in the afternoon. brightening in northern ireland and northern england to scattered showers. best of sunshine in shetland but a cold easterly wind across a good part of scotland and that will bring lots of low cloud, stained grey. temperatures at their lowest around ten to 15 degrees. further south, northern ireland 18, 19, low 20s for much of england and wales. humid, after the overnight rain and sunshine, a boost on the pollen levels. high in wales and southern england. we finished the day with a few showers and thunderstorms around, persistent rain in northern scotland which faced tonight, low cloud will sit throughout, mist and fog patches elsewhere. it won't be quite as humid and muggy tonight as last night but still pretty mild for many into tomorrow. for tuesday, weather fronts pushing many into tomorrow. for tuesday, weatherfronts pushing in from many into tomorrow. for tuesday, weather fronts pushing in from the west but as they arrive we dragged

in even more humid airfrom the south so it will be a real humid day for many. that weather front in the west almost activates through the day. outbreaks across parts of northern ireland and scotland. a good portion of england, wales and scotland, humid, 25 and 26 in the south—east. warmest day of the year south—east. warmest day of the year so far. rain spreads across the country, not much across the south and as the weather front which is eastwards, subtle change in wind direction on wednesday, so not quite as humid but some good sunny spells. maybe a rumble of thunder across the south—west, could get to 25 or 26 of parts of east anglia, maybe 17 or 18 or around scotland. really one for the rest of this week, but not quite as humid and still the chance of a few showers and thunderstorms, but equally some dry weather.

they raise interest rates in the hope we can save more, spend less and bring inflation down. inflation has gone up four times already this year, they are at 1%, 30 year high. the prediction is that that inflation will not slow down and we could by the end of the year, according to the bank, hit a recession when the economy stops growing and gets smaller. all of this economic chat can be a bit of a head scramble, quite confusing. the bank of england have written their first book, basic economics that they hope to get into every primary school because it is really important to have a good sense of how the economy works and i went down to meet them.— down to meet them. let's have a look. almost every decision we make — to buy a butty or bring one in, to walk or take the train — they all have an economic consequence. prices keep rising, savings and wages are standing still. these decisions are feeling more and more important. and it's the job of this place to keep the economy

in check and keep our costs of living stable. she gasps. oh, my goodness! it's everywhere! rupal and jack are on a crusade to help us understand economics. it's really heavy. and they brought me to quite an exclusive spot. so what are they worth? this one, for example, if i was to... how much is it worth? that today is worth around £600,000. so that's interesting — you say around £600,000. does that change? and why are you wielding bars of chocolate? chocolate bars are a very tasty and a very easy way to explain some economics. so if you think about the price of a chocolate bar — say, a freddo, the chocolate frogs — when i was a child and when rupal was a child, we both remember them being 10p when we take our pocket money to the shop. and now if you look in the shops, that's 25p — so there's been a huge increase. and that just shows this process that's in the back of everyone's lives called inflation,

whereby prices over time just go up and go up. so here's a big question — why don't you just print more money?! yeah, with all these gold bars around us, we could probably all think about putting one in our pocket and walking out the door. the problem, of course, is that while it's quite intuitive to give people more money, and therefore they think they can go out and spend more, that creates inflation, and inflation then erodes the value of money. what do you think would be the damage ofjust printing loads of money for everyone, rupal? well, if we all got £1 million each and then went out and spent it, you'd quickly realise that the price of everything would go up. and so, actually, you'd buy — you'd be able to buy fewer things and that's inflation. yeah. we are in quite an unusual situation at the moment, aren't we? where do you see this ending? there's a lot of uncertainty in the economy at the moment, and that's why it's really important that people understand what this uncertainty means for them. everyone kind of thinks about economics as long maths equations or nerds in suits, but it's a lot more than that — it's really the economics of day—to—day life. a final question —

can ijust take one of these? because you've got absolutely loads of them. what harm can it do — just one? if you make a run, we'll distract the security guard. it's a deal! laughter. that looks like a lot of fun. what was it like being in there and holding it? i was it like being in there and holding it?— was it like being in there and holding it? was it like being in there and holdin: it? �* ., ., holding it? i didn't manage to snap one, unfortunately, _ holding it? i didn't manage to snap one, unfortunately, but— holding it? i didn't manage to snap one, unfortunately, but they i holding it? i didn't manage to snap one, unfortunately, but they gavel holding it? i didn't manage to snap i one, unfortunately, but they gave me want to hold so i could film a piece to camera, headline, holding it. it was so heavy. i kept nearly dropping it. they told me to keep my toes out of the way. there is no way anyone will steal it but security has to be really... will steal it but security has to be reall ., i really... view let me down there. i am incredibly _ really... view let me down there. i am incredibly buff _ really... view let me down there. i am incredibly buff so _ really... view let me down there. i am incredibly buff so it _ really... view let me down there. i am incredibly buff so it is - am incredibly buff so it is surprising. am incredibly buff so it is surprising-— am incredibly buff so it is surrisinu. ., ~ , ., ., surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as _ surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as our _ surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as our six _ surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as our six foot _ surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as our six foot thick i surprising. you keep leaning over. the door as our six foot thick and l the door as our six foot thick and luckily i have a really bad memory.

when securityjobs are in highest demand. a memorial garden where survivors can remember those who lost their lives looks likely to be created at the site of grenfell tower. 72 people died when fire engulfed the residential tower block in north kensington five years ago. the grenfell tower memorial commission said it was engaging with survivors, the bereaved and local residents about ideas for the community—led memorial. we spoke to some of the families that lost people in 9/11, and they were part of a commission similar to ours to help decide what would happen. and they told us how difficult it was and how, honestly, that is part of the process — having people find out they don't like things and then readjust and keep changing the idea until we arrive there — and that is the process. travel, and a look at the tube board. the bank branch of the northern line has reopeneed this morning after four months of improvement work. there are delays on the district line following late finishing engineering work. and delays on the metropolitan line due to a signal failure.

onto the weather now with sara. good morning to you. we've had some thunderstorms out towards the south west of london overnight. they are largely clearing away. we've got some, mist and murk, though, to start us off this morning in our suburbs. any showers pulling off towards the north, but then some sunshine could spark off some further showers here and there as we run through the day today. a lot of places will stay dry with some sunshine — in the best of it, temperatures around 21 celsius. overnight tonight, we're dry, we're clear, we are going to see a little bit of mist and murk and maybe some passing cloud, as well. but we'll stay dry into tomorrow morning, and temperatures typically staying in low double figures, so it'll be a warm start tomorrow. i just want to show you the fronts charts to show you what a mess it is, actually, over the next few days. we've got low pressure dominating our weather this week, there are frontal systems trying to push further showers in at times. showers, so of course they are hit and miss — we won't all see them. tomorrow, though, largely

dry for a good deal of the day, and a warm one — could be 25 or 26 degrees for us — very high 705 in fahrenheit. staying warm through the week, but unsettled. there's more on saturday's eurovision song contest result with vanessa feltz on bbc radio london. stray ukraine won — and sam ryder�*s uk entry came second — but the boy from essex has beaten harry stiles and others to become number in the itunes charts. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. borisjohnson is due to visit northern ireland later — with the government set to confirm new legislation to override parts of the brexit deal. we'll be live in belfast in a few minutes. millions of pupils in england, wales and northern ireland will start sitting their first formal exams in three years today. the queen attends the first big

event of her platinum jubilee, taking in the final night of the royal windsor horse show. good morning, chelsea do the double. a week after winning the league title — they lift the fa cup at wembley. also this morning, after the pandemic mothballed his new show just weeks after it started, comedy legend ben elton's with us to talk about taking upstart crow back on the road. in upstart crow back on the road. scotland it might br but in scotland it might be wet today but elsewhere, things will brighten up. sunshine and some heavy showers. details coming up. it's monday the 16th of may. our main story. the prime minister will visit belfast today to urge the main parties there to resume power—sharing. the democratic unionist party is currently refusing to re—enter the assembly because of the post—brexit trading arrangements known as the northern ireland protocol. meanwhile, the government

is expected to introduce legislation which would allow ministers to override parts of that protocol. political correspondent nick eardley reports. boris johnson will arrive in northern ireland later to find a political system which is stuck. despite elections earlier this month, there's no new government. sinn fein finished top for the first time ever, but the democratic unionist party — the second largest at stormont — won't agree to power—sharing until the brexit deal is changed. they're worried about checks on goods travelling from great britain to northern ireland. even though many parties accept these arrangements, if unionist politicians don't, power—sharing can't get back up and running. borisjohnson signed the brexit deal, but he now agrees that changes are needed and is calling for the european union to negotiate tweaks. ahead of his visit today, boris johnson writes in the belfast telegraph:

back in london, ministers have been drawing up legislation which would allow them to override parts of the brexit deal. it's set to be confirmed tomorrow, but will have to pass through parliament, meaning it could be months before the government has the power to act without agreement from europe. but the move would be controversial. some fear it could spark a trade war at a time when many businesses and households can least afford one. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. our correspondent charlotte gallagher is outside stormont this morning. what reaction can we expect to be prime minister's visit today? he has a difficult day _ prime minister's visit today? he has a difficult day ahead, _ prime minister's visit today? he has a difficult day ahead, i _ prime minister's visit today? he has a difficult day ahead, i think. - prime minister's visit today? he has a difficult day ahead, i think. he i a difficult day ahead, i think. he has to do two crucial things. to convince the dup to go back to work

at stormont, and also he has to convince sinn fein about changes to the protocol. sinn fein have already said before changes without cooperation of the eu would be reckless, and the dup have said they are not going back to work unless there is action. they are notjust happy with promises, they want action on the protocol. i think both parties will be unhappy with some of the suggestions. also we heard from ireland. the irish foreign minister said if the uk takes unilateral action on the protocol without the eu, that will send a message to the rest of the world the uk doesn't respect international law. he also warned this action could undermine the peace process, so serious warnings from ireland. i think it will be a difficult day for boris johnson. it is hard to see how everyone will be happy with what he

suggests. a three—year—old boy has died in a suspected dog attack in greater manchester. it happened at a house in the town of milnrow, near rochdale, yesterday afternoon. greater manchester police says it's investigating previous incidents involving dogs at the home. no arrests have been made. airlines and airports in eu countries are no longer telling passengers and staff to wear face masks. the european union aviation safety agency says the change — which comes into force today — is a big step forward in normalising air travel. some airlines will still require face coverings to be worn. it's not often you see tom cruise and alan titchmarsh sharing a stage together — but this is no ordinary stage. they were amongst a star—studded cast at windsor castle, hosting the royal windsor horse show to mark the beginning of the queen's platinum jubilee celebrations. helena wilkinson was there.

arriving to a delighted audience, the queen looked well. she and the audience were witness to a spectacular show — taken through more than five centuries of history. at its heart, the queen's beloved animal — horses. more than 500 took part, accompanied by 1,000 performers. singing. there were spectacular stunts... ..a hollywood star, and music, too. # while thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free... over the years, definitely, my admiration for her has grown, and so i think that makes you even more nervous. anybody that sort of says they're blase about singing for the queen, ijust don't believe! and i'm sure everyone backstage is feeling the need to really put on their best performance, because that's what she deserves.

as well as the pomp and pageantry, there was humour. on behalf of everyone here, we'd like to very humbly thank you for choosing us over the state opening of parliament. laughter. applause. i speak on behalf of the whole cast, that we know this is notjust a once—in—a—generational event — this is never going to happen again. i don't think in a thousand years we will have another monarch, you know, who lives 70 years, so we�*re aware of the occasion. and the fact that we also know that she loves horses — whatever happens, she is going to love every single moment of this show. towards the end of the performance, a poignant moment. lady louise windsor in the duke of edinburgh's carriage. the queen's horses and ponies were also brought out. lady louise's riding pony. i therefore speak on behalf of a grateful nation and commonwealth when i give you our sincere and most loving thanks.

applause. fire! it was an evening of celebration, and one that appeared to bring greatjoy to the queen. helena wilkinson, bbc news. what a party. the energy regulator ofgem says it's considering more regular reviews of the price cap. nina's here with the details. good morning. they announced it in the last few minutes. as things stand every six months there is a price cap for the average user. they went up 50 more percent in april to almost £2000 a year. speculation about where it will go in october and some say as high as £3000. some say it might not be near that. it is

a long time to wait and for wholesale buyers of energy to wait to know the price. ofgem have announced potentially reviewing the price gap every three months so instead of waiting until autumn it would bejuly we instead of waiting until autumn it would be july we would instead of waiting until autumn it would bejuly we would know instead of waiting until autumn it would be july we would know where prices were and that would mean even if they are higher, we could budge it better. they said a more frequent price cap would reflect an up—to—date and more accurate pricing customers would benefit sooner and crucially for the industry it would help energy suppliers accurately predict how much they would need to purchase for consumers reducing the risk of further failures of suppliers which would ultimately push up the cost for consumers. they are considering a three month review. uncertainty is the tricky thing in this situation. it is difficult for suppliers who do not know how much to buy in. big

suppliers say they bought the energy last year for the high suppliers say they bought the energy last yearfor the high price suppliers say they bought the energy last year for the high price and suppliers say they bought the energy last yearfor the high price and if you bring the prices down now, we will not make money and will not be able to invest in green energy but households are already feeling that and what should we sacrifice this summer to have that buffer. if we knew in july, summer to have that buffer. if we knew injuly, we would all be in better control. nato officials have said vladimir putin's invasion strategy in the east of ukraine may be stalling. it's thought russia may have lost a third of its ground combat troops — and is failing to make progress in the donbas region. the ukrainian mp oleksiy goncharenko has spoken to us from ukraine several times since the invasion. he's now visiting the uk to meet politicians here — so we can say hello in person. good morning. fantastic to see you here. we are used to seeing you on the screen so great to see you here. how are you?—

flowers and two graves. they say these people were killed, we do not know who they are. it is awful. but we are successful but what we need now is to stop them in the air and stop barbaric air attack so we need air defence and aircraft. i hope we will be helped with these by the uk, the west, united states. you will be helped with these by the uk, the west, united states.— the west, united states. you said the west, united states. you said the uk had _ the west, united states. you said the uk had been _ the west, united states. you said the uk had been a _ the west, united states. you said the uk had been a big _ the west, united states. you said the uk had been a big support. i the west, united states. you said l the uk had been a big support. are they the points you will make to mp5 when you meet them? they the points you will make to mps when you meet them?— when you meet them? there are two uestions when you meet them? there are two questions and _ when you meet them? there are two questions and number _ when you meet them? there are two questions and number one _ when you meet them? there are two questions and number one is - when you meet them? there are two questions and number one is a i questions and number one is a victory and for victory we need weapons, weapons and more weapons. air defence, aircraft, long—range artillery. because we have our people with courage and brain. but weapons assistance is what we need. for years we are preparing for this. we are fighting for the free world. every day they say they want to go

further, take baltic states, poland. this is what they say on russian state tv. the first thing is victory and here we need weapons. and the second thing is to rebuild the country after because the country is devastated. it is important to work with the uk because there are many assets, billions and billions of pounds of russian oligarchs, russian corruption, people from putin's entourage. and all of this should be frozen, should be confiscated and given to ukraine to rebuild the country. it should be russian money to rebuild the country because they are guilty, not of british taxpayers. but of russians, putin, ally is guilty in this awful war —— allies.

sonny, shetland today. a lot of rain in parts of scotland. a cold breeze. cloud to the north and east. brighter conditions in northern ireland. as temperatures rise, it could set off thundery showers. temperatures low 20s in much of england and wales. fewer showers in the south. showers in the evening will fade during the night. rainbow easing in scotland. fog patches to take us into tomorrow morning. most will start tuesday on a dry note. still mild. tomorrow, the big change in western areas with rain developing. parts of scotland away from the north—east and england and east of wales, dry and sunny and the warmest day of the year. coleen rooney will continue to give

evidence in the high court today as she defends a libel claim made by fellow footballer�*s wife, rebekah vardy. our correspondent colin paterson has been following the so—called wagatha christie trial from the start. he joins us now from outside the high court. good morning. where are we up to in the trial? ., , ., ., ., the trial? four days are dam and three days _ the trial? four days are dam and three days to _ the trial? four days are dam and three days to go. _ the trial? four days are dam and three days to go. it _ the trial? four days are dam and three days to go. it ended i the trial? four days are dam and three days to go. it ended on i the trial? four days are dam and i three days to go. it ended on friday with coleen rooney being questioned, giving her evidence. it has been a dramatic few days. coleen rooney is being sued for libel by rebekah vardy for accusations she made on social media about rebekah vardy being a leak to the press of private information. in the dock, a different performance from coleen rooney. far more talkative and from the off she emphasises she does not want to be here, saying in a written

statement three times she has tried to settle this out of court but was rebuffed by rebekah vardy. also in court, she has had difficult moments where she had to talk about her relationship difficulties with wayne rooney. a particular leak related to a photograph of herfamily in pyjamas. she said at that time they were discussing whether their marriage still had a future. rebekah vardy gave her evidence earlier and it lasted almost 12 hours spread overfour it lasted almost 12 hours spread over four days and she cried on three of them. she said the reason she brought this to the high court was because she felt she had to clear her name for her sake and the sake of her children. towards the end of questioning she said she felt she was being bullied and manipulated in the court. she had many difficult moments, in particular, they brought up a 2004

kiss and tell she did with peter andre. let's say, i did not expect the word chipper larder —— chipolata to be said in court. we will leave it there. it is very intense. only 35 people in the court. you are so close up to them and it is fascinating watching the body language. the rooneys did not look at rebekah vardy. when coleen rooney got into the witness box, it was interesting to see wayne rooney actually looked away from her while she was giving evidence. at one

point on thursday i was moved because they wanted to make space for the court artist and i sat by the witness box and my head was three feet from rebekah vardy�*s ankles as she burst into tears and proceedings were stopped to allow her to regroup. there has been light—hearted moments. there has been a lot of swearing in the trial. the qcs have had to read out a lot of exchanges on whatsapp and there are a lot of words you could not say on a breakfast show. as the trial has gone on they have delivered them with more gusto and at one point members of the press were told off for laughing and were told if they did it again they would be asked to leave. on friday, i sat next to a guy is so enraptured with capturing every mention of gemma collins and others, i had to pass a message to him to tell him he was typing too

is at the bottom of the north sea with davyjones' locker and rebekah vardy replied, who is davyjones? there has been a question about why jamie vardy has not been in court. he has been playing and he has played two games and has scored four goals, so possibly the only one of them having a good time. i cannot et the them having a good time. i cannot get the image _ them having a good time. i cannot get the image of— them having a good time. i cannot get the image of colin _ them having a good time. i cannot get the image of colin being i them having a good time. i cannot get the image of colin being three i get the image of colin being three feet away from rebekah vardy�*s ankles. and imagine being told off for laughing. we would not get in. talking of court cases, there won't be one between the fashion magazine vogue, and a cornish pub which bears the same name. vogue's publishers conde nast had sent a letter threatening to sue the star inn at vogue — a tiny village near saint day — if it didn't change its name. after a stinging response from the landlord, the firm has now admitted it should have

done more research. john henderson picks up the story. phone rings. the star inn at vogue — how can i help? it's been around for about 200 years, serving cask ales, coke and crisps, and pub grub. the star inn at vogue ticks the traditional box. so the landlord was mildly amused to receive a letter from fashion magazine vogue, asking for the pub to change its name. i thought it was one of the locals having a bit of a laugh. yes, idid. and then i looked further into it and found out — no, they were serious. they are serious. so here i am leafing through vogue in the star inn in vogue. i hope i can say that. i think i can say that. last year, the pub registered at companies house as the star inn vogue ltd. but in march, the magazine's publisher, conde nast, wrote that that could cause a problem, fearing the public

could think the two businesses were connected. they didn't even bother to look into it. didn't do the research or anything. theyjust decided that, "ooh, right, we need to write them a letter and get them to stop using the name," without even checking up who we actually were. the letter also told the couple to reply within seven days, or conde nast would take appropriate remedial steps. mark wrote back, all right — promising a parish vogue magazine and maybe even a vogue fashion show — including regulars. i i'm going to be one of the firstl on the catwalk on fashion week. i've already booked my place and that's it. i should have done their research. this is the mining capital of the world. this name is not a new name. it's not a new village. and near the pub are clues to that — including vogue hill, wherejune's lived for years. you haven't ever had a letter from vogue magazine? no, not... not to my knowledge, no.

have you ever read vogue magazine? no, no. no? no. today, conde nast said further research would have identified they did not need to send such a letter, and the pub won't be changing its name. we might even approach vogue to see if they will change their name, cos we was here first! that is all that matters. they were there first. that would be a court case. send colinton at one! good morning, i'm asad ahmad. police are investigating social media footage appearing to show an officer repeatedly hitting an individual in the head during an incident in east london at the weekend. the footage — which includes others besides this — shows officers dragging a man beside a police van outside kingsland shopping centre on saturday. officers say they were carrying out a pre—planned operation "targeting

e—scooters and moped—enabled crime". nine people were arrested. nightclubs across london are warning they're "running out of time" to find bouncers — and they claim its leading to fears about safety. three quarters of bars, pubs and clubs have been found to be short of security staff. the night time industries association is calling for government action before the peak months of the summer — when securityjobs are in highest demand. a memorial garden where survivors can remember those who lost their lives looks likely to be created at the site of g re nfell tower. 72 people died when fire engulfed the residential tower block in north kensington almost five years ago. no decision has yet been made about the future of the tower — but a commission is speaking to people as part of the process. the commission said it was speaking to survivors for ideas. we spoke to some of the families that lost people in 9/11,

and they were part of a commission similar to ours to help decide what would happen. and they told us how difficult it was and how, honestly, that is part of the process — having people find out they don't like things and then readjust and keep changing the idea until we arrive there — and that is the process. travel, and a look at the tube board. the bank branch of the northern line has reopened this morning after 4 months of improvement work. there are delays on the district line following late—finishing engineering work, and delays on the metropolitan line due to a signal failure. onto the weather now with sara. good morning to you. we've had some thunderstorms out towards the south west of london overnight. they are largely clearing away. we've got some, mist and murk, though, to start us off this morning in our suburbs. any showers pulling off towards the north, but then some sunshine could spark off some further showers here and there as we run through the day today. a lot of places will stay dry with some sunshine — in the best of it, temperatures around 21 celsius.

overnight tonight, we're dry, we're clear, we are going to see a little bit of mist and murk and maybe some passing cloud, as well. but we'll stay dry into tomorrow morning, and temperatures typically staying in low double figures, so it'll be a warm start tomorrow. i just want to show you the fronts charts to show you what a mess it is, actually, over the next few days. we've got low pressure dominating our weather this week, there are frontal systems trying to push further showers in at times. showers, so of course they are hit and miss — we won't all see them. tomorrow, though, largely dry for a good deal of the day, and a warm one — could be 25 or 26 degrees for us — very high 705 in fahrenheit. staying warm through the week, but unsettled. that's it, but go to our website to read about a former london teacher who's become a netflix reality star. i'll have our next update in an hour. hello, this is breakfast

with dan walker and sally nugent. the prime minister will head to belfast today, to meet with party leaders and urge them to restore power—sharing at stormont. the sticking point is the post—brexit trade arrangements known as the northern ireland protocol which the dup find an acceptable and which the dup find an acceptable and which the dup find an acceptable and which the westminster government is preparing to change. we're joined now by professorjon tonge, who specialises in british and irish politics. good morning. good morning. we don't have two hours — good morning. good morning. we don't have two hours but _ good morning. good morning. we don't have two hours but i _ good morning. good morning. we don't have two hours but i understand - good morning. good morning. we don't have two hours but i understand this i have two hours but i understand this is a broad question. how have we got to this point?— to this point? briefly, the democratic _ to this point? briefly, the democratic unionist i to this point? briefly, the| democratic unionist party, to this point? briefly, the i democratic unionist party, the largest unionist party in northern ireland, walked out of the devolved power sharing institutions before the recent elections saying that they wanted the protocol, the irish sea border, the trade border between great britain and northern ireland,

they wanted a abolished, that it was an affront to their unionism. boris johnson in belfast is trying to get the dup back into devolved power sharing, restore the good friday agreement political institutions, and says he will fix the protocol. he is not saying he will abolish it, he will fix it, in other words get rid of some of the checks on those goods going between great britain and northern ireland. we goods going between great britain and northern ireland.— and northern ireland. we have a fairl bi and northern ireland. we have a fairly big clue — and northern ireland. we have a fairly big clue about _ and northern ireland. we have a fairly big clue about what - and northern ireland. we have a fairly big clue about what boris l fairly big clue about what boris johnson thinks about the situation because he has written an article in the belfast telegraph basically explaining what he thinks. what do we learn from that? that explaining what he thinks. what do we learn from that?— explaining what he thinks. what do we learn from that? that they could well be domestic _ we learn from that? that they could well be domestic legislation - we learn from that? that they could well be domestic legislation passed | well be domestic legislation passed at westminster which will disapply some parts of the protocol, so some of the checks on chilled meats for example. the checks in some ways have been huge, even a packet of sandwiches checked because it is chilled meat. those checks take place to keep the border on the island of ireland are soft. there is a risk of good be going between

great britain and northern ireland going into the eu south of the border. the disagreement is that these checks are excessive and we need to get rid, but it's not that easyjust need to get rid, but it's not that easy just to pass need to get rid, but it's not that easyjust to pass domestic legislation which potentially ties up legislation which potentially ties up the treaty that borisjohnson has assigned with the eu —— tears of the treaty. the eu may retaliate and say, well, the trade deal you conducted with us is being torn up as a consequence of you tearing up the protocol. borisjohnson is trying to square a lot of circles in belfast. ., ~ trying to square a lot of circles in belfast. ., ,, ., ,., trying to square a lot of circles in belfast. ., ,, ., ., trying to square a lot of circles in belfast. ., ~ ., ., ., belfast. talking about a potential trade were. _ belfast. talking about a potential trade were, trying _ belfast. talking about a potential trade were, trying to _ belfast. talking about a potential trade were, trying to avoid i belfast. talking about a potential trade were, trying to avoid more | trade were, trying to avoid more issues during a cost—of—living crisis those cost of living issues arise because what might happen, the eu can respond by for example putting tariffs on british goods heading to the eu, the british can respond to that by putting tariffs on goods coming from the eu as part of a trade war, but that is the last thing people want because that would

on the notion of devolved power sharing and the irony is that the eu northern ireland protocol was introduced to keep the good friday agreement safe. the risk is that the protocol brings down the good friday agreement because unionists will not resume power sharing with nationalists. sinn fein is now the largest party in northern ireland and they are waiting for unionists tojoin them in political matrimony at the new ultech in northern ireland. if you don't have that power sharing then where does the good friday agreement go? there is a lot at stake in terms of boris johnson's visit.— lot at stake in terms of boris johnson's visit. ., ~ , ., ,., . johnson's visit. thank you so much for exalaining _ johnson's visit. thank you so much for explaining that _ johnson's visit. thank you so much for explaining that so _ johnson's visit. thank you so much for explaining that so clearly, - johnson's visit. thank you so much for explaining that so clearly, it - for explaining that so clearly, it was invaluable. professor atjon tonge, thank you. chetan is here talking about... we have the men's fa cup final on saturday and a much better in terms of quality and goals, the women's final yesterday. five goals between chelsea and manchester city and chelsea have a week after they won the women's super league title, now the double.

could be cut to appoint if liverpool win at southampton yesterday, at the city were held to a 2—2 draw at west ham. west ham 2—0. bowen scoring his second just before half—time but city fought back after the break, jack grealish scoring before this own goal levelled the game and city had a chance to win here. a late penalty saved. as long as city beat aston villa in the final day they will be champions, or if liverpool lose at southampton tomorrow. everton boss hopes of staying in the premier league are still in the balance after they lost three having two at home to brentford. everton had two players sent off, brentford had two players sent off, brentford had already equalised twice when henry headed in what proved to be the winning goal, leaving everton 16th in the table, two points clear of relegation. we 16th in the table, two points clear of relegation-— of relegation. we have control of the game. _ of relegation. we have control of the game, looking _ of relegation. we have control of the game, looking like _ of relegation. we have control of the game, looking like we - of relegation. we have control of the game, looking like we could | of relegation. we have control of- the game, looking like we could have scored more goals and hopefully win the game to get ourselves in the same position we want

the red kite changes it. the players gave everything, the game is difficult. i don't think you can play 70 minutes in the premier league with ten men and expect much more. all i ask for is the players give everything and they did, they fought, we got ourselves back in front but in the end it was a step too far because of the red kite. aligned to bring you this morning, everton have confirmed they are assisting merseyside police after a brentford striker evan tony and full—back rico tony alleged there families were racially abused during yesterday's win. staying at the bottom of the table, leeds have kept alive their hopes of survival. this was the goal. injury time equaliser. the roof off at elland road, they are one point clear of the relegation zone but burnley are below them and have a game in hand. belly remain in the bottom three for now, losing 1—0 at tottenham, who are into four. the penalty settled it, given what this handball by ashley barnes on the stroke of

half—time. you can guess who took it. harry kane ensured spurs were in the final champions league qualification. novak djokovic won his first title of the year at the italian open. the world number one beat stefanos tsitsipas 6—0, 7—6 to wrap up his sixth italian open title — the last competition before the french open gets underway next week. he will beat the defending champion there. ——he will be the defending champion there. and iga swaitek won the women's event — that's her 28th victory in a row. it also means she's won five tournaments in a row — victory in rome following wins in doha, indian wells, miami and stuttgart. can anyone stop her at roland garros? she is a wimbledonjunior champion, as well, we will be talking about wimbledon soon. she as well, we will be talking about wimbledon soon.— as well, we will be talking about wimbledon soon. she loves clay. she loves the grass. _ wimbledon soon. she loves clay. she loves the grass, as _ wimbledon soon. she loves clay. she loves the grass, as well, _ wimbledon soon. she loves clay. she loves the grass, as well, that - wimbledon soon. she loves clay. she loves the grass, as well, that says i loves the grass, as well, that says you need to get better on it. it is

scotland one of those days that gets more grey for many, outbreaks of rain coming and going, chilly easterly breeze, best of the weather in shetland. not especially warm but you will have sunshine throughout where is under grey skies and easterly wind across scotland, temperatures around 11 to 15. such outbreaks were northern ireland, 18 to 90 degrees, even that wales widely into low 20s and increasingly humid. after the rain fell, the sunshine comes out, recharges the pollen levels, they will burst up and the upward trend across wales, southern england and into the afternoon. as we go into this evening and overnight, the showers we have to begin with fade away, ten drier crosscut than with lots of low cloud to the north—east. temperatures in the male side but not quite as muggy as last night. a filtrate are pushing up of the atlantic will have more of an impact across western areas through the day but it approaches that we dragged airfrom the but it approaches that we dragged air from the south, so the they will feel more and more humid, lots of sunshine after mist or stiefel

through parts of scotland, england and eastern wales, low cloud to the east of scotland but in the far west around the irish sea areas we will see heavy rain develop into the afternoon. that will knock the temperatures here but elsewhere, 20 degrees around the moray firth, could be 25 or 26 in south—east england, making it the warmest day of the year so far. when it was none non—uk on tuesday night, not much in the south but at the east, the wind shift direction taking away some of the humility. a day in the sunshine, a good deal about, one or two showers to begin greater chances of heavy showers, maybe the odd rumble of thunder to the south—west later. humid in east anglia and the south—east but a pleasant spring day for many, 17 to 23 degrees. the rest of the week on the one side, especially with the sun out but one of those weeks throughout where you have to have some waterproofs close to hand showers will develop through the week, changing from one day to the week, changing from one day to the next and where you see them there is always potential there

could be a bit on the thundery side. 17 in edinburgh as we go through the end of the week, may be still holding around the low 20s across parts of southern england and parts of south wales. back to you both. on your way into work did you manage to see the gorgeous blood moon, super moon? i to see the gorgeous blood moon, suaer moon?— to see the gorgeous blood moon, suer moon? �* , , super moon? i didn't because it was too cloudy. — super moon? i didn't because it was too cloudy, thunderstorms - super moon? i didn't because it was too cloudy, thunderstorms all - super moon? i didn't because it was l too cloudy, thunderstorms all around as i was driving in and you had to be up very early to catch it but one of our weather watchers did this lovely time—lapse of how that eclipse took place, that was on the south coast at horsham. that eclipse took place, that was on the south coast at horsham.— south coast at horsham. that is lovel , south coast at horsham. that is lovely. thank — south coast at horsham. that is lovely, thank you, _ south coast at horsham. that is lovely, thank you, ken. - south coast at horsham. that is lovely, thank you, ken. we - south coast at horsham. that is| lovely, thank you, ken. we have south coast at horsham. that is - lovely, thank you, ken. we have got more! lots of you were looking at that gorgeous moon overnight. these are from west sussex. isn't that pretty? you can see the shadow of the earth blocking out most of the moon. , , ., , moon. this is from philip in wiltshire. _ moon. this is from philip in wiltshire. that _ moon. this is from philip in wiltshire. that is _ moon. this is from philip in wiltshire. that is quite - moon. this is from philip in | wiltshire. that is quite pink. moon. this is from philip in i wiltshire. that is quite pink. if ou ever wiltshire. that is quite pink. if you ever try — wiltshire. that is quite pink. if you ever try to _ wiltshire. that is quite pink. if you ever try to take _

what's your name? leo. how old are you, leo? four. when leo was only seven days old, he had open heart surgery. it left him with a huge scar on his chest. it's quite thick, because he was opened up so many times. he's gone through more than any child should have to go through. now his mum's written a book about leo and his scar to help him and others understand why he's a little different. right there, under leo's top, was a long, jagged, white scar. i know. i know! why he has it, why he gets out of breath, and why other children don't have it. leo's mum, aimee, also hopes it'll help other children with heart conditions. i wanted other children to understand that it wasn'tjust given to him. he has fought to be here.

he suffered for it. and that it's a cool thing. it's something leo needs to be proud of. leo still needs more surgery on his heart, but is doing well. leo says the books helped his friends understand him better. they think it's cool? yes. but it's a reminder for us what we went through, how we lost him, how we had to say goodbye to him so many times. all the pain. it's a major reminder about how strong he is. he is so strong. yeah, it's cool. it makes him him. the book's published through the charity heart heroes and all proceeds will go to helping children with heart conditions. alex howick, bbc news.

is expected to introduce legislation which would allow ministers to override parts of that protocol. political correspondent nick eardley reports. boris johnson will arrive in northern ireland later to find a political system which is stuck. despite elections earlier this month, there's no new government. sinn fein finished top for the first time ever, but the democratic unionist party — the second largest at stormont — won't agree to power—sharing until the brexit deal is changed. they're worried about checks on goods travelling from great britain to northern ireland. even though many parties accept these arrangements, if unionist politicians don't, power—sharing can't get back up and running. borisjohnson signed the brexit deal, but he now agrees that changes are needed and is calling for the european union to negotiate tweaks. ahead of his visit today, boris johnson writes in the belfast telegraph.

back in london, ministers have been drawing up legislation which would allow them to override parts of the brexit deal. it's set to be confirmed tomorrow, but will have to pass through parliament, meaning it could be months before the government has the power to act without agreement from europe. but the move would be controversial. some fear it could spark a trade war at a time when many businesses and households can least afford one. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. we're joined by chief political correspondent adam fleming. there has been rumour about what will happen with the protocol. we spoke to a northern ireland expert this morning. spoke to a northern ireland expert this morning-— spoke to a northern ireland expert this morning. clarity is needed from the government. _ this morning. clarity is needed from the government. yes, _ this morning. clarity is needed from the government. yes, the _ this morning. clarity is needed from the government. yes, the first - this morning. clarity is needed from the government. yes, the first task| the government. yes, the first task in front of borisjohnson when he

goes to northern ireland is about the democratic unionist party, the dup, who stood in the recent elections to the northern ireland assembly on the platform of the protocol being scrapped. neither the uk or eu are talking about that as an option so away must be found to let the dup climb—down from that position. if they are to go into the power—sharing government, which would be required to get the assembly and northern ireland executive back up and running. that is the task that will be starting today for the prime minister. we think is soonest tomorrow the uk could reveal draft legislation that would allow them to override parts of the protocol. the purpose would be if you decided to scrap bits of the protocol, you would need something to give you legal certainty for trade from great britain to northern ireland and the bits of the protocol you had abandoned, so you would need

something in its place. but, it serves a political purpose because the prime minister can say to the dup we have a back—up plan if negotiations do not go well, stick with it. it helps with conservative backbenchers who want him to be tougher with the eu. it makes it clear to the eu if negotiations go nowhere, this is what the uk back—up option will be. it is important to remember, the pro —— the prime minister has said the preferred solution is to talk to the eu and get the tweaks to the protocol agreed together. whether what the prime minister says in northern ireland today and in the legislation tomorrow freaks out the eu and they take action is another matter but thatis take action is another matter but that is where we are today. thank ou. nato officials have said vladimir putin's invasion strategy in the east of ukraine may be stalling. it's thought russia may have lost a third of its ground combat troops —

and is failing to make progress in the donbas region. our correspondentjames waterhouse is in kyiv. good morning. the invasion may have stalled, but it is far from over. i think that is right. this morning, a video was posted from ukrainian soldiers on the russian border in the kharkiv region in the north—east around the city, a city the second biggest in ukraine and one the russians wanted to take. in the video they say look, mr president, we are here. talking to president zelensky who says today the russians will realise they are reaching a dead end in the war. that said, because russian forces move south, it does not mean their desire to carve out victory has diminished. they focus efforts on holding this city strategically significant. the

ukrainians are trying to prevent that to stop defending forces being sealed off as the russians continued to launch assaults in the donbas region. and all eyes again on russia's ally, the country to the north of ukraine that shares a border, and a country that helps russian forces moving in the first place. according to the uk ministry of defence, belarus has started to move troops along the border, as well as station artillery and anti—aircraft missiles to the west which is doing two things. fixating ukrainian troops, the belarusians claim there are 10,000 ukrainian troops to the north, meaning they cannot move east and get involved in fighting there. and the biggest nato exercise happening in estonia and latvia with 15,000 troops involving ten countries, planned before the invasion, but the alliance has been

carrying out more of these exercises in the previous eight years, where we have seen russia's campaign of aggression towards ukraine. ukraine won eurovision _ aggression towards ukraine. ukraine won eurovision on _ aggression towards ukraine. ukraine won eurovision on saturday. - aggression towards ukraine. ukraine won eurovision on saturday. a - won eurovision on saturday. a reminder of support they have across europe. reminder of support they have across euro e. ~ . reminder of support they have across euroe. ~ . .,, reminder of support they have across euroe. ~ ., ., reminder of support they have across euro e, . ., .,, .,. ., europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat- — europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat. people _ europe. what was the reaction there? it was upbeat. people celebratory. - it was upbeat. people celebratory. they enjoy their moment. some of the team met ukrainians at a house party. all in the name of work. people had to watch from indoors because of the curfew. people there were delighted to see the group do what they did on the grand stage. when other countries pledge support, voice support for ukraine and condemn what is happening to the country and the actions of russia, it goes down extremely well. one

member of the band was not there. they are staying here to fight. the rest of the band will return here. it was a rare moment of light in what has been a dark 82 days. thanks. james moorhouse. we all know the phrase "having a senior moment" to explain a bit of forgetfulness, but a leading charity is urging people not to simply brush off what could be the start of dementia. now, the alzheimer's society is launching an online checklist to help identify the symptoms as part of a campaign to try and improve the rates of early diagnosis. let's take a look. what time should we leave tomorrow? i think about eight. what do you reckon? yeah, that sounds about right. laughter. what time should we leave tomorrow? i told you — eight. what time should we leave tomorrow?

going to beat this, even though she is not, so it is like, let's get on with our lives and see what we can do. it knocks you for six when you get the diagnosis. i hit rock bottom, the same as most other people do. but it was a case of i have got to be strong now. i have to try to remove the alpha female bit. what is life like for both of you now? ~ what is life like for both of you now? . . ., ., what is life like for both of you now? ~ ., ., ., , now? we cannot do all the things we used to love — now? we cannot do all the things we used to love to _ now? we cannot do all the things we used to love to do. _ now? we cannot do all the things we used to love to do. i _ now? we cannot do all the things we used to love to do. i am _ now? we cannot do all the things we used to love to do. i am grieving - used to love to do. i am grieving forjo, i am grieving for the life we had. we used to love cinema and theatre. it is looking for different ways of achieving those same things. because of streaming services, we can sit and watch a movie. i will make popcorn and get some ice cream. and we can sit in our back row sofa

formal exams since the start of the pandemic. scottish highers began at the end of april. for some, it's their first experience of sitting in an exam hall, while school leaders are warning about a shortage of invigilators. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has been to a school in wigan to check on preparations. coming up in the next couple of weeks, it's absolutely essential that we have a good revision programme. at the deanery church of england high school in wigan, it's final study sessions. when i did my mocks and i got the results, iwas like, agh. chelsea and her classmates have done their mock exams. tears were coming in my eyes as i was walking in. i could just see the paper, all the invigilatorsjust standing at the front with their arms crossed. i'm just like, "oh, my days!" the next time they go into the exam room, it will be for real. i want to do a career in medicine, so i obviously want to get them seven, eights and nines to, like, obviously, gain, like, offers from university. like major universities like manchester, even oxford.

it wasn't as bad as i was expecting, considering what we did at revision catching up in the canteen, it's talk of revision and exam timetables. if, you know, people have been off with covid, teachers have been good at live lessons and putting work on so we can do everything. i've got 21 exams spread out across a month and a half, so sometimes i'll go home and i'll revise for an hour or so and then i'll go to footballjust to take my mind off it. i think it's really important to not only...obviously, worry about your grades, but worry about yourself and worry about your mental health. ok, year11, you can put your pens down, please. the government says this year's students will be graded more generously than the last time exams were sat in 2019, but they won't get as many top grades as last year, when results were decided by teachers' assessments. pupils will get formula sheets to use in exams and there has been advance information for gcses and a—levels. so i've got two a—levels left — design and technology, and engineering i've got left,

but i've got a btec and a ctec, as well. jasmine is worried about what could come up. it's been a bit mad, to be honest, because we've missed so much time and every time someone was off we'd all have to go off. so, as engineering students, we can't do our things at home. it's more just all online or special software we don't have at home. and so we're all 18 now and it feels like we've missed a big chunk of, like, growing up in our in a—levels. it's just like stress constantly that you're not going to get everything done. and then, after that into actual jobs, it feels like we've not even been in school at all. we are really excited for our children to be able to show what they're brilliant at, as well, and do well in their gcses and their a—levels, despite the fact that it's been so difficult. for the deputy head, mrs turner, it's about making pupils believe they can aim high. but there is no doubt anxiety levels are also high. most pupils haven't had any national exams since their sats in primary school.

we are seeing children that are presenting to us with really, really difficult social, emotional and mental health issues. we've got more children, probably triple, quadruple the amount of children, that previously would have struggled to go in an exam hall that are feeling that way now getting ready for an exam. it's all the stuff you put in beforehand. it's all the practice runs. it's all the getting yourselves ready that they've not had. sometimes, the children rub their hands together. i'll see their legs are shaking, breathing might get a little bit faster. so just go over to those children and just let them know that we're here. a quiet, "are you ok?" because of increased levels of anxiety, more invigilators are needed and some schools have struggled to recruit. here, the school nurse has stepped in. predominantly, an invigilator has always been like a retired person. unfortunately, when covid did hit, a lot of the retirees didn't want to come into school then. so there has been quite a bit of a shortage. breathe in.

hold. in the library, there's an exam stress workshop. as well as breathing techniques, minnie is on hand to help pupils and staff. if pupils are having a difficult day, then they can come into the wellbeing room. they can have a chat with me, they can spend a little time with minnie. we'll go for a walk and we'll talk to pupils that way. she's a very big part of the school. star pupil! she is the star pupil, yes. what can we think about that we could do to maybe help with that? teachers here have put on revision classes in the easter holidays and extra sessions after school. i'm going to actually do question 13. the government says national exams represent a major step back to normality. for these pupils, it's a major step towards their future goals and aspirations. our grades open the doors to what we want to become in this world and ijust honestly think that the support that the teachers are giving me and giving to the rest of the students as well is just really helpful.

elaine dunkley, bbc news. laverne antrobus is a child psychologist. she joins us from london. good morning. as we heard in the report, levels of anxiety are rising. what can we do to help students taking exams? i rising. what can we do to help students taking exams? i think what i 'ust heard students taking exams? i think what liust heard in _ students taking exams? i think what ijust heard in the _ students taking exams? i think what i just heard in the video _ students taking exams? i think what i just heard in the video was - ijust heard in the video was exactly it. yes, anxiety is rising and children are feeling they do not know what to expect, but what we heard was schools have worked hard to recognise and take into account those children who perhaps have an elevated level of anxiety, so will make different arrangements for them. but for most children, the ordinary level of anxiety is probably important to help them push through and what will be important is they go through that routine. somebody said you see the

invigilator holding the papers and sit in your chair. all of those things are things we want young people to rehearse now so there are few surprises in the routine of taking an exam. it few surprises in the routine of taking an exam.— few surprises in the routine of taking an exam. few surprises in the routine of takin: an exam. , taking an exam. it is something we have spoken _ taking an exam. it is something we have spoken about _ taking an exam. it is something we have spoken about before, - taking an exam. it is something we have spoken about before, how- taking an exam. it is something we have spoken about before, how do| taking an exam. it is something we i have spoken about before, how do we teach children that some level of anxiety is actually ok? figs teach children that some level of anxiety is actually ok? as parents and teachers. _ anxiety is actually ok? as parents and teachers, we _ anxiety is actually ok? as parents and teachers, we have _ anxiety is actually ok? as parents and teachers, we have to - anxiety is actually ok? as parents and teachers, we have to talk i anxiety is actually ok? as parents i and teachers, we have to talk about our own experience. if you have little anxiety, it's probably a sign something is out of kilter and your brain needs you to feel engaged and purposeful, and the anxiety you feel going into the exam is telling you it is an important time. what we don't want is for the anxiety to floor children. it was lovely to hear that extra lessons, after—school revision, those opportunities will be a moment to checkin opportunities will be a moment to check in with your anxiety and to

perhaps use breathing techniques. some techniques, meditation, that young people talk to me about that helps them. the story of today as everybody get started is that little bit of stress and tension is the anxiety that needs to fire you into that top gear you need. abs, anxiety that needs to fire you into that top gear you need. b. 1!th anxiety that needs to fire you into that top gear you need.— that top gear you need. a lot of schools doing — that top gear you need. a lot of schools doing extra _ that top gear you need. a lot of schools doing extra things i that top gear you need. a lot of schools doing extra things to i that top gear you need. a lot of i schools doing extra things to help. what could we do at home to help children? , , ., children? there will be parents now with their teenage _ children? there will be parents now with their teenage children - children? there will be parents now with their teenage children knowing there will be in moments of high tension. this is such an important time. i think you want to be there, providing as many rest breaks meals needed. also the reassurance that if things go wrong in the initial days or there are exams that do not feel right, let's punch ahead, look through that and get on to the next

an officer repeatedly hitting an individual on the head during an incident in east london at the weekend. the footage — which includes others besides this — shows officers dragging a man beside a police van outside kingsland shopping centre on saturday. officers say they were carrying out a pre—planned operation "targeting e—scooters and moped—enabled crime". nine people were arrested. nightclubs across london are warning they're "running out of time" to find bouncers, and they claim it's leading to fears about safety. three quarters of bars, pubs and clubs have been found to be short of security staff. the night time industries association is calling for government action before the peak months of the summer — when securityjobs are in highest demand. a memorial garden where survivors can remember those who lost their lives looks likely to be created at the site of grenfell tower. 72 people died when fire engulfed the residential tower block in north kensington five years ago. the grenfell tower memorial

commission said it was engaging with survivors, the bereaved, and local residents about ideas for the community—led memorial. we spoke to some of the families that lost people in 9/11, and they were part of a commission similar to ours to help decide what would happen. and they told us how difficult it was and how, honestly, that is part of the process — having people find out they don't like things and then readjust and keep changing the idea until we arrive there — and that is the process. travel, and a look at the tube board. the bank branch of the northern line has reopeneed this morning after four months of improvement work. there are delays on the district line following late—finishing engineering work, and delays on the metropolitan line due to an earlier signalfailure — and the waterloo & city line has minor delays due to a faulty train. onto the weather now with sara. good morning to you. we've had some thunderstorms out towards the south west of london overnight.

they are largely clearing away. we've got some, mist and murk, though, to start us off this morning in our suburbs. any showers pulling off towards the north, but then some sunshine could spark off some further showers here and there as we run through the day today. a lot of places will stay dry with some sunshine — in the best of it, temperatures around 21 celsius. overnight tonight, we're dry, we're clear, we are going to see a little bit of mist and murk and maybe some passing cloud, as well. but we'll stay dry into tomorrow morning, and temperatures typically staying in low double figures, so it'll be a warm start tomorrow. i just want to show you the fronts charts to show you what a mess it is, actually, over the next few days. we've got low pressure dominating our weather this week, there are frontal systems trying to push further showers in at times. showers, so of course they are hit and miss — we won't all see them. tomorrow, though, largely dry for a good deal of the day, and a warm one — could be 25 or 26 degrees for us — very high 70s in fahrenheit. staying warm through the week, but unsettled. that's it, but go to our website to read about a former london teacher who's

become a netflix reality star. i'll have our next update in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. the time is 8:34am. it's not often you see tom cruise and alan titchmarsh sharing a stage together — but this is no ordinary stage. i don't know, maybe occasionally. they are best buddies! they were amongst a star—studded cast at windsor castle, hosting the royal windsor horse show to mark beginning of the queen's platinum jubilee celebrations. helena wilkinson was there. arriving to a delighted audience, the queen looked well. she and the audience were witness to a spectacular show — taken through more than five centuries of history. at its heart, the queen's beloved animal — horses. more than 500 took part,

a once—in—a—generational event — this is never going to happen again. i don't think in a thousand years we will have another monarch, you know, who lives 70 years, so we're aware of the occasion. and the fact that we also know that she loves horses — whatever happens, she is going to love every single moment of this show. towards the end of the performance, a poignant moment. lady louise windsor in the duke of edinburgh's carriage. the queen's horses and ponies were also brought out. lady louise's riding pony. i therefore speak on behalf of a grateful nation and commonwealth when i give you our sincere and most loving thanks. applause. fire! it was an evening of celebration, and one that appeared to bring greatjoy to the queen. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

league title race. i'm sure there were plenty of liverpool fans jumping around their living rooms. to have a zero up but in the end manchester city did what they do and got a point. it makes things really tasty going into the final week of the season. if liverpool lose at southampton tomorrow, manchester city will be champions. it is down to the final game of the season. city in the end held at west ham. they were 2—0 up in this one. that goal sent west ham fans wild. city fought back after the break, jack grealish pulled one back before this own goal from vladimir coufal levelled the score. and city had the chance to win it, but riyad mahrez�*s late penalty was saved. it's going to be a big day for this — for the football club and for the city and, you know, i can't wait.

you know, we've had a great record at the etihad over the season, so...i can't wait. you know, it's something that i've never experienced before, you know, to win a trophy on the last day of the season. so, you know, i can't wait. i'm buzzing already. as long as the city beat villa they will be champions. everton's hopes of staying in the premier league are still in the balance, after they lost 3—2 at home to brentford. everton had two players sent off, and brentford had already equalised twice, when rico henry headed in what proved to be the winning goal. that leaves everton 16th in the table — two points ahead of burnley. everton have confirmed they're assisting merseyside police after brentford striker ivan toney and full—back rico henry said their families were racially abused at goodison park during yesterday's win. staying with the relegation battle — leeds kept alive their hopes of survival, after a last—minute equaliser against brighton. pascal struijk with what could be a crucial goal. it means they're a point clear of the relegation zone for now but burnley below them have a game in hand. burnley remain in the bottom

three after they lost i—o at tottenham, who are into fourth. it was a penalty that settled it, given for this handball by ashley barnes on the stroke of half—time. you know who stepped up to take it — harry kane, ensuring spurs are in the final champions league qualification place for now. but arsenal can move back into the top four if they win at newcastle tonight. chelsea's women have done the double. the wsl champions beat manchester city 3—2 to win the women's fa cup for the fourth time. it went to extra time — chelsea were heading for victory after this brilliant second—half goalfrom erin cuthbert who put them 2—1 up. but in the 89th minute, city pressed forward and grabbed an equaliser — hayley raso straight off the bench to see the game go to extra time. no penalties needed, though — sam kerr's shot was deflected in off alex greenwood and that proved to be the winner. the former british number one laura robson has

confirmed her retirement from tennis this morning at the age of 28. as a teenager, robson reached the fourth round of the us open and here at wimbledon, as well as winning silver in the mixed doubles with andy murray at the 2012 olympics. she says the decision to retire was forced upon her after having three hip operations. really a tough one for laura robson. the great teenage talent. the upside in one sense is she will be part of our commentary team, across the bbc, and wimbledon. tough decision, three hip operations, couldn't come back. another indication of how brutal top—level sport is on your body, andy murray also had those issues. saying he is still going. let's get somewhere that. i have some good news, more of this across parts of the country. not

everyone but at the moment large amounts of cloud around and grey across as a scotland and north—east england where is this a shot from the board this shows it is wet. the radar confirms that, heavy rain in north—east england, parts of central and southern scotland, clear from northern ireland but the more show is pushing in. a line of showers edging into northern england, the tail end of that, thunderstorms around the wash, they will drift northwards but almost a north—south split today. there are the showers in north wales, northern england, drifting northwards. some will be heavy over the coming hours. skies are bright, and scattering of showers, some on the heavy side. some of you may see what than others but others will stay completely dry. more showers push in, northern ireland, heavy bursts of rain over the next few hours, brightening, scotland, lots of cloud to come today. cool easterly breeze, rain at times, brightest conditions throughout will be in shetland. in

the easterly breeze, low cloud, could be a chilly day in scotland. it will feel that way anyway in the rain trees, 11 to 13 degrees. in its outcome 18 and 19 in northern ireland and widely into the 20s in wales. humid and when that sun comes your way it will boost pollen levels. into this evening and overnight, a few showers which will fade, turning dry across much of scotland, the shower clipping the south—east for a while but mainly dry by the end of that night, mist and fog patches around. a mild night but not quite as humid as last night but not quite as humid as last night but one humid air on the way as is where the fun starts to push in through tuesday, dragging out from france and that will boost temperatures. sunniest in the morning with lots of high cloud around tomorrow so any sunshine on the hazy side but in the west of the cloud will get bigger through the day, outbreaks of rain developing in south west, west wales, isle of man, northern ireland and south—west scotland. that limits the

temperatures but in the hazy sunshine, 20 degrees around inverness, 25 and 26 to south—east, the warmest day of the year so far. heavy rain through the northern half of the country into wednesday, not much in the south but as the cold front pushes eastwards it will sweep away most of humid air. still feeling one on wednesday, dry with sunny spells for many but showers and thunderstorms brimming to the west and south—west later in the day. these are your temperatures for wednesday afternoon, higher than we expect at this stage in may, very pleasant when you are in the sunshine. it stays warm through the rest of this week. there will be showers and thunderstorms around at times. whatever your plans, always have a wet weather plan close to hand just in case. more details tomorrow. enjoy your day. we will see you then. if ou your day. we will see you then. if you are _ your day. we will see you then. if you are in _ your day. we will see you then. if you are in the _ your day. we will see you then. if you are in the process - your day. we will see you then. if you are in the process of - if you are in the process of recycling plastics this morning, and if you have finished some milk, wash it out and put it in a bid to in a probably everybody is up by now and

has done all that. you might need to watch this first. that's because today is the first day of the big plastic count. our climate and environment correspondentjonah fisher is in margate to tell us more. he is counting lots of plastic. good mornin: he is counting lots of plastic. good morning from _ he is counting lots of plastic. good morning from my _ he is counting lots of plastic. good morning from my gate. _ he is counting lots of plastic. timc morning from my gate. today is the first day of the big plastic count. 100,000 people across the uk have signed up basically to document every little piece of plastic they use over the course of a week to give us a better picture about what we throw away. i am one of those people who is fascinated by what happens to stuff when we get rid of it. after our recycling is put outside is taken away, it goes to a sorting plant. last week i went to one of those in london to have a little look about where it all goes. every year, each of us, on average, produces about 400 kilos of household waste. 44% of it is then recycled. this is one of the biggest

recycling plants in britain — in southwark, in south london. this facility deals with the recycling for about two million people every year. that's150,000 tonnes. the number—one rule is if you're not sure, don't put it in your recyclable bin. with the ball, that baseball ball, that needs to be removed. when we collect the waste in the streets, we ask the general public to put plastics, glass, metals and paper in the in the same bin. in the same bin. so the role of this facility is to separate this material. the top few things that we are seeing coming to our facilities and which should not would be the things like textiles — clothes. we see shoes, jumpers, etc. it can be recycled, but not on the kerb—side collection. it needs to be at a household waste recycling centre. we see a lot of, like, coffee cups. it can be recycled — again, if it's brought back to the the shop or the store where you bought your coffee.

check on your local council's website where all the guidance are provided and usually you get the contact details if you're unsure. so this feels like the end of the process here in this plant. absolutely. so at the very end. so you can see the different fractions. we've got all the plastics together — it will go to another plant to be sorted and recycled. we've got the cardboard and the paper, which will go directly to a paper mill to be recycled into new piece of cardboard and paper. and, finally, we've got the metals. of those, plastic is the hardest to recycle. but there are some success stories. each different type of plastic needs a different processing plant. this one in east london, it processes milk bottles. you can see all these bales here. these are all milk bottles that we use at home and have been sorted and brought here. now, this plant is a big one.

it processes about 400 million milk bottles every year. it works 2a hours a day, round the clock. that's about 10% of the milk bottles that we use in the uk. the bottles are chopped up with their tops on and then a machine sorts the plastic by colour. so this is the end product. these are white plastic pellets — very much like lentils, in fact. now, tim, this is what's come out at the end here. what happens to these now? so what we're going to do with this is make new milk bottles. and these milk bottles can come back here and create a circular loop to recycle them again and again. just over half our recycling is processed here. the rest is sent abroad.

let's find a little bit more about the big plastic count, i am joined ljy the big plastic count, i am joined by daniel webb, one of the brains behind it, and also by rachel hale has very kindly lent us invade her house this morning. daniel, tell us about the count. why is it needed? the big plastic count is a uk's biggest — the big plastic count is a uk's biggest ever investigation into household plastic waste. we are asking _ household plastic waste. we are asking people to count their plastic packaging waste for one week, submit their results at the end of the week that will— their results at the end of the week that will generate their own personalised household footprint. will also — personalised household footprint. will also create a picture and the evidence — will also create a picture and the evidence that we need to push for change _ evidence that we need to push for chan . e. ., , evidence that we need to push for chance. ., , ., evidence that we need to push for chance. . , ., , evidence that we need to push for chance. ., , ., , ., change. that it is not 'ust one thin . . change. that it is not 'ust one thin. i change. that it is not 'ust one thing. i think i change. that it is not 'ust one thing. i think there _ change. that it is notjust one thing. i think there are - change. that it is notjust one thing. i think there are 19 - thing. i think there are 19 different categories on that list. we have worked to create 19 different categories that people will use — different categories that people will use to categorise it, so it makes — will use to categorise it, so it makes it— will use to categorise it, so it makes it easier but also make it a lot easier— makes it easier but also make it a lot easier for us to analyse the waste —
