good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the uk's rate of inflation is predicted to hit a a0 year high when official figures are released later this morning, i'm at grimsby fish market finding out where they are feeling the force of inflation and asking what, if anything, can't slow it down. —— can slow it down. the evacuation of the azovstal steelworks in mariupol continues. ukrainian officials say they're doing "everything possible and impossible" to save the remaining fighters. prince charles and camilla begin their tour of canada, their first major tour to a commonwealth country since the start of the pandemic.

welcome to seville, home to around 100,000 expectant rangers fans for the next 2a hours, as their side prepares to face eintracht frankfurt in the final of the europa league tonight. iam in i am in cambridge are ahead of a dry, sunny and warm day for the vast majority, before we see more heavy and thundery rain tonight. good morning. it's wednesday, 18th may. our main story. the uk's rate of inflation is predicted to reach its highest level in a0 years, when the figures are released in an hour's time. this is the official measure of the cost of living, and it could show a rise of more than 9% in the year to april. nina's at a fish market in grimsby for us this morning. morning. yes, good morning. welcome

to grimsby, where around 5000 boxes of fish come through every single week. the vast majority of them are coming in from iceland, haddock and cod on the whole, but i think about every step of that journey for the fish to make their way here. for vessels like this, the fuel involved. forthe vessels like this, the fuel involved. for the trucks that bring them onto side. right down to was at home wondering whether to treat ourselves to that fish supper on friday. inflation is everywhere. predictions are they will reach a a0 year high when we get the latest figures at seven o'clock. in march, that measure of inflation was 7%. that means prices were — on average — 7% higher that month, compared to a year earlier. driving that increase? petrol and diesel prices, the cost of buying a second—hand car, furniture prices, food prices, and even the amount we paid for clothes and shoes. but we all know what happened a month later in april. the energy price cap went up by 5a%,

taking average bills close to £2000. that is why it is expected to increase. every household is fuelling inflation as we have been finding out. —— feeling inflation. shopping's like a tenner more sometimes, perweek. itjust gets so much more expensive. bread, i mean, that's gone up. i think the bread that i have has gone up about 50p. ciara is 19 and lives in greater manchester on her student loan and wages from her part timejob. but it's not easy. before the student loan in april, i had £17 in my bank left. nothing — no savings, no nothing. when it comes to affording shopping at the moment, how are you making ends meet? i shop less, so, i shop every two weeks now. i try and get a big batch of chicken, and then i'll freeze it all so it don't go out of date. and then, i'll make sure that i kind of split them up and make meals, and maybe make like a batch meal.

kind of saw people doing this. and kira has another trick too. this is what these are — budget binders. ok, so show me inside, show me inside — i want to see! so, this is long term. she puts physical notes into binder pockets for each type of saving and spending. and if you get change then, if you're spending any of these, you know, tenners, and you get a bit of change, that goes into these these these massive pots? yes. 0k. so if i spend £7 of this, or £7 something, the change will go into these. so the pounds all go into here, and the silver and copper all goes into there. so there's about £60 in there at the minute. so i'll basically wait until they get full, or wait until they get to £100 or £150, and then that will go into my savings in my bank. in castleford, saving is becoming increasingly hard. cheryl and her husband both work full—time, but with their energy bills bouncing up and up, the plan to buy their own family home is feeling more like a pipe dream. i'm constantly turning everything off at the switch.

every night we turn everything off. we ensure that we use a full dishwasher, full washing machine, like, full load when we're washing. so i'm sort of running out of ideas at the minute, because i am doing everything i can to sort of keep my energy bills as low as possible. but it is a battle, and it seems that there's not really much more i can do at the minute. how does it feel to know that those bills are going up again in the autumn? there's nothing more that i can do. it's almost like i've come to the point where i've accepted that my savings are going to be less going forward, and that'sjust what i've got to do for now. sky high petrol and diesel prices are causing problems for mike and ev. they're making hard choices about how often they can afford to visit their children and grandchildren. the hotel prices have gone up, fuel prices have gone up. and from here, stoke—on—trent, is 195 miles each way. that makes it very difficult for us

to see our family on a regular basis, because you just can't afford it any more. it's not there. the money's not there. the figures don't add up. as pensioners, everything is negative. there is no... the only positive we've got in life is we're happy. we are happy, yes. those big drivers of inflation — fuel costs. food prices at every shop, and most of all, energy bills — are all continuing to rise, limiting choices, dreams and budgets in every home. coletta smith, bbc news. no doubt that sounds all too familiar to you. have a look at these boys, fresh in from iceland. trays of card. it isjohn�*s job to oversee the market. he is the chief executive. you have felt the

afternoon. temperatures not as high as yesterday but widely high teens, low 20s. 23 possibly be high this afternoon. this evening and overnight the rain explodes to life across the country. there will be some thundery downpours as well. probably the heaviest tonight will be in the southern half of the uk rather than the north, we saw the heaviest rain yesterday. another mild night. temperatures in the low teens. it is an overnight spell of rain. that rain get out of the way as we go into tomorrow. tomorrow will be another dry and sunny day for the vast majority. some isolated showers possible, mainly in the west, but most will have a fine one. tomorrow, wins lightest in the south, breezy in the north, feeling warm in the sunshine. more details later. from beautiful sunny cambridge, but you both. we love the fact you have positioned yourselfjust into the sunshine there! it just arrived. good man, see you later. i

this was a welcome rich in the music and culture of canada's indigenous peoples, but the reality is they haven't always been celebrated and honoured in this way. a process of reconciliation is under way in canada to try to right the wrongs suffered by so many thousands of first nations, inuit and metis peoples. as we look to our collective future, as one people sharing one planet, we must find new ways to come to terms with the darker and more difficult aspects of the past. acknowledging, reconciling, and striving to do better. it is a process that starts with listening. this wasn't the apology from the crown that some indigenous groups have called for, but was an acknowledgement to work with the canadian people, and it was echoed by the prime minister. as much as the crown has been

an important part of our past, i know you are committed to the work we must all do to build a better future for the next generation and the ones after that. in the grounds of government house, the couple joined indigenous leaders for a healing ceremony in a garden which represents one of the country's darkest chapters. up until the 19705, tens of thousands of indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools. many didn't survive. a few of those who did spoke with charles and camilla. as part of canada's reconciliation initiative, schoolchildren are encouraged to leave hearts, with their own feelings about what happened. as with other recent commonwealth tours, it's clear that there are deep and difficult historical issues to be addressed. but in this, the queen's platinumjubilee year, this is also a celebration of canada and its people.

quidi vidi harbour provided a picture perfect backdrop for a brief walkabout, to the delight of those who turned up to catch a glimpse. did you see them? we did see them. and actually, he spoke to this little girl, cecilia, and she's — her dad's english, and her grandparents are english. and he said, "how many languages are you going to speak? "and look at the wee one." is she a supporter of the monarchy? oh, yes. i saw both of them and they waved at my brother—in—law�*s dog. there was just time to sample the local beer brewed using 20,000 year old water from nearby icebergs, before heading off to the airport. next stop, the capital, 0ttawa. sarah campbell, bbc news, newfoundland and labrador. wherever they go in the world, there is always a point. 6:23am. let's take a look at today's papers. the cost of living crisis features heavily on the front pages this morning. the times reports that

the chancellor is drawing up plans to increase the warm home discount by hundreds of pounds, before cutting taxes in the autumn. meanwhile, the daily mirror dedicates a large part of its front page to the so—called wagatha christie trial, after wayne rooney testified on day six of the libel case. his wife is being sued for libel by rebekah vardy, who denies mrs rooney's accusation that she leaked private information about her. the telegraph features a picture of the queen on its front page. she made a surprise visit to paddington station to see the completed elizabeth line, a week before its official opening to the public. so lovely, these pictures of her. here, we can see the 96—year—old monarch being given an 0yster card and shown how to use it by staff. she was accompanied on the trip by her youngest son, prince edward. (adlib) a p pa re ntly apparently it was a bit of a surprise. nobody knew until the last minute she was going to be there,

it's really hard for us to leave your own country — not only the country, your relatives and your whole life — because we spend the whole life back in afghanistan. leaving everything was difficult, but since we came here... so we started playing cricket, which really helps me to forget the pain that we have suffered from the situation back in afghanistan. harrow council has said it's sorry residents are still waiting for their £150 council tax rebate. it says it's down to a technical error. the council tax rebate scheme was introduced by the government and is intended to ease the burden of rising energy costs across the capital. plans for reform of the fire service have been announced by the government. improvements include better engagement with the public, modernising work practices, and more accountability. the changes are in part a response to the grenfell tower tragedy in which 72 people lost their lives. one of the largest

road—infrastructure projects in essex is due to open next month. junction 7a on the m11 by harlow will open injune. essex county council say the junction will improve access for residents, businesses and visitors. the royal mint has teamed up with an artist from east london to create a 50 pence piece celebrating the 50th anniversary of pride. dominique holmes designed the coin, which will be the colours of the pride flag. it's the first time the lgbtq+ community has been celebrated on official uk coinage. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far — temperatures over 27 celsius out towards the west of london. today, temperatures down a little notch on that, but dry, sunny and warm once more for the bulk of the day today. and i think we're comfortably into the low 20s.

that is still well above average for the time of year. but we do have some intense weather for this evening — a band of showers to cross us, coming in from the west, skirting off towards the east. they could be quite heavy and thundery for a time. they move through quite quickly, though — they're gone by tomorrow morning, and it will be another warm start tomorrow. a lot of dry weather around the next couple of days. but, again, here on the fronts chart, you can see that, although we have this area of high pressure trying to push in and kill off any showers, there are still a tangle of weather fronts around as we go through the next few days. looks like things turn a bit more settled as we head through towards the weekend for a time. but the temperature's going to fluctuate a little bit — a little bit cooler, for instance, on friday, especially if we do get some showers through. but temperatures remain on the warm side for the time of year. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back tojon and sally. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll be celebrating the life of kay mellor, one of british tv�*s leading writers, responsible for dramas like band of gold, fat friends, and the syndicate. as up to 100,000 rangers fans gather in seville, we'll be looking ahead to the club's europa league final against eintracht frankfurt. # i'm lost. # lost in the night. # lost in the mire. he's the gold—toothed dj—turned—bond—villain — jungle trailblazer goldie will be here to tell us about his new album. and it sounds great. this coming sunday is the fifth anniversary of the manchester arena bombing. 22 people died in the attack, and many more lives were changed forever.

dylas kiss lost his mother michelle at the arena that night, and he is now driven by a determination to create a positive legacy for his mum. judith moritz reports. everyone wants to ask if you're all right. no—one can do that on a golf course. you know, you're completely free, you can do what you want. the only thing that's winding you up is the bad shots that i'm constantly hitting. it's five years since dylan's mum died. five years of grief and loss. michelle kiss was murdered in the manchester arena bombing. she was just a typical mum. she always made sure that the kids come first, and any opportunity they wanted to do, she'd make sure that, "i'm going to help you organise that and you're going to do that." i mourn for my mum in different ways. i love it when i cry and i see something, and i'm upsetand i miss her,

because ijust knew the love that i had was so powerful. and, you know, it's good to get that out. and for anyone who says, like, "oh, cry," you know, this, that, it's the most brave thing you can do. make a decision when you go forward, make a decision! that strength of character has been on display recently, as dylan took part in channel a's extreme resilience show sas: who dares wins. 0n the programme he opened up about the night his mum was killed. my little sister comes running out. she's just like, "mum's gone," you know, "mum's gone." "come on, we'll find her, we'll find her." and, unfortunately, my mum got caught in the head. she was pronounced dead the next day. and, er, that's your new reality. i had to become a man straight away. the last few years have been tough, but dylan finds that golf gives him an escape. chances.

bit of golf in that, as well, bit of golf in that! it's just that release for me. it's perfect. and i hold golf accountable for me getting myself right, because it was incredibly tough, obviously, to go through that, what my family went through. butjust having that freedom to, you know, clear your mind, and golf really brought that out of me. so, you know, i'm thankfulfor it. hand forward. dylan spent a lot of time with his friend sam, who's a golf pro. and what started off as a bit of coaching has now become a serious fundraising effort. they've organised charity tournaments to benefit three hospitals. oh, my goodness! are you a professional? the golf day is obviously keeping michelle's memory alive. we've raised just over £30,000 in three years. all three, four years of it has been good memories, you know, remembering why we've done it and everyone smiling. and then you do have that reflection of, like, yeah, we've done this. the big cheques keep coming in, and the money couldn't be going to better use. it'll help the sickest patients

in intensive care units, and is going towards a new major trauma hospitalfor greater manchester. they're absolutely brilliant, such wonderful, wonderful lads. they've worked so, so hard to raise this amount of money. the equipment that is going to be provided in those hospitals, it really is going to be life—changing, you know. it's going to make such a difference to our patients and their families. this is what we've designed. yeah, man. so obviously that's the home kit, goalkeeper kit... raising their game, the lads are now looking for sponsors for a charity football match in the summer. dylan has turned his pain into positivity, and his mum is neverfarfrom his thoughts. the way that you can really beat yourself up and get yourself down. and ijust think, i've had the worst thing that could ever happen, and i've had to dig deep. i'm not saying it was easy, and it still isn't easy. but i really have fought and battled

myself to just try and keep that positive mental attitude. and that's the only thing i would, you know, recommend or suggest, is just, no matter how bleak days are and how grey, you've just got to keep smiling through it. i know she's proud, and i know she's still with me. as far as everything goes, you know, i'm in a good place and happy and earning money for charity. what wise words of. it will be a tou . h what wise words of. it will be a tough few _ what wise words of. it will be a tough few days. _ what wise words of. it will be a tough few days. at _ what wise words of. it will be a tough few days. at the - what wise words of. it will be a i tough few days. at the anniversary is at this weekend, five years of. we will be commemorating that over the next few days. we are going to seville in a moment for the europa league final but i want to take you somewhere else. this is a live shot. is that by bezos? ida. my bayer? is that by bezos? no. my bayer? greek is that by bezos? ila. my bayer? greek island? is that by bezos? no. my bayer? greek island? it _ is that by bezos? no. my bayer? greek island? it is _ is that by bezos? no. my bayer? greek island? it is not _ is that by bezos? no. my bayer? greek island? it is not seville, i greek island? it is not seville, because it _ greek island? it is not seville, because it isn't _ greek island? it is not seville, because it isn't on _ greek island? it is not seville, because it isn't on the - greek island? it is not seville, because it isn't on the coast! l greek island? it is not seville, | because it isn't on the coast! it greek island? it is not seville, i because it isn't on the coast! it is

the chance to play in a european final and it is massive, as well, for the club, when you consider that nine years ago they were playing in the third year of scottish football, having tumbled down the divisions, financial issues, pushing the club to the very brink but they have climbed all the way back up, premiership champions last using delinquencies on and now they are on a major european family, standing on the cusp of what would be only their second european title in the history of the club. —— major european final. we are going to hearfrom some people who have shelved a very different celebration in order to be here but first let's hear from different celebration in order to be here but first let's hearfrom lorna gordon on what is a huge day for the club and the fans. singing. they have been getting here any way they can — on buses, planes and trains. glasgow to london, london to madrid, then got a train to seville. people have gone to huge effort! it's a lifetime opportunity for lots of people. it's fantastic.

so exciting. where have you come from? talk me through your journey to get here. perth. so we left... perth in scotland? no, perth in australia. so we left half ten monday night in perth, and we've just got here. i don't know what time it is. quarter to seven. tuesday... tuesday? is it tuesday? fans from the two opposing sides coming together ahead of the big night. frankfurt fan, rangers fan? come here together. absolutely. yes, yes. atmosphere's been great. great, great atmosphere. you've been travelling together, did you say? yeah, we met on the train, yeah. yeah, absolutely. we come from madrid. madrid. brilliant. is this a sign of the atmosphere over the next 2a hours? hopefully. absolutely. hopefully. just cooperation, just friendship. friendship. that's it's all about. may the best will win. and who is going to win? the best. the best team will win. the fans are already out en masse enjoying the hot weather and refreshments on offer. police estimate up to 150,000 supporters will be here in the city for the final, with rangers supporters outnumbering frankfurt fans two to one.

businesses in the city are hoping the influx of visitors will bring a post—covid financial boost. and victor, who runs this city—centre bar, says they have been having an incredible day. 5,000 police officers are on duty, with a plan to keep both locals and visitors safe. translation: we will do our best and we have a lot - of experience with this. that doesn't mean there might not be problems. we sincerely believe that we have got the ability to counteract any that could crop up. but there could be some serious ones. it's a lot of people with a lot of alcohol, the vast majority without tickets. but that's no barrier to those desperate to see their team win their first european title for 50 years. fan zones with big screens set up for those without a seat at the game itself.

the tears'll flow when we lift that trophy, and they will be the happiest tears in the world — ever. they'll never see it again in my lifetime, that's for sure. we can't expect to get a final every time, but i think when you can do, | you've got to embrace it, - you've got to make the most of it. the aim, once this festival of football is over, is that all anyone will be talking about is the result. lorna gordon, bbc news, seville. it was a special atmosphere already here yesterday, those fans pouring in here to the city, many more arriving here today and it was unique to see that sea of blue of the fans coming in off the trains and difficult routes that people have been trying to get here. we spoke to a couple yesterday who we will hear from spoke to a couple yesterday who we will hearfrom in a moment he spoke to a couple yesterday who we will hear from in a moment he flew all the way down to gatwick and then

from gatwick to malaga, then from malaga they got on a bus to come to seville and finally made it. they are kaj and lorraine, who interestingly have decided to shelve their 20 year wedding anniversary celebrations just so they could be here today. i caught up with them yesterday. kaj, lorraine. this is it, then. this is home for the next couple of days. yep. absolutely. an adventure. fantastic. by the way, it's much better than a hotel room. a bit cheaper, i imagine. absolutely. yeah. so much cheaper. and what a story for you guys — cancelling your 20—year anniversary plans to be here. 0ur anniversary was in april and we decided we're going to treat ourselves. and then we went, do you know what? we're getting through the rounds and through the rounds. i know. and, well, sure enough, we're here. so we said, "right, that's what we'll do — we'll treat ourselves if this happens." if not, i don't know where we're going, then! laugher.

butlins?! in 20 years of marriage, how would a rangers victory rank as one of your highlights in those 20 years? 0h...! well, for me — i cannae speak for you, but for me, it'd be nearly as good as our wedding day. well, i think... yeah, it's up there. definitely would be up there. it'd be awesome. it really would. it'd be amazing. it would really be amazing. to say i've been there, honestly, we're part of it. this is what dreams are made of, you know what i mean? so... yeah, let's do that. see what happens. let's make us dream. make us dream, yeah. and i guess if you did want to make this your wedding anniversary celebration, i think there's some 90—odd—thousand other rangers fans here who would love to join in your party with you. yeah, we'll stand in the middle. laughter. we'd do a wee dance. aye. so you've got the camper,

the drinks are sorted, you've got your tickets. yeah. are you going to get the win, as well? yeah, yeah. yeah? i think so. yeah. i'm verging on 60—a0 now. it was 50—50 before, but 60—a0, rangers. singing. and you just wonder, is that confidence going to ground today? the sun is shining once again in seville, will it be shining on rangers later? they talk about football being just a game but for many fans it feels so much more than that when you think about kaj and lorraine putting their plans on hold for the anniversary. i have seen three generations of the same family out here, granddad with their grandchildren to be here for this special moment. when you consider 1a years since rangers last made it through to a major european final and you think about how special it is for those fans, i think this next video really illustrates this. have a look at this. this is robbie, a

young rangers fans, loves the club more than anything. he was desperate to try and get out here but his family had a mad scramble to try and get his passport back in time. he didn't think it was going to be possible. this was the moment they surprised him and revealed they did in fact have his passport ready for him. what a great moment this is, it just sums it up, that excitement, the anticipation, it is there for all to see and rub it was delighted. i love the fact that the dog was involved. what a moment it is going to be. he chuckles. my passport. what does that mean? am i going to seville?! yeah! yes! come on! yes! dog barks. yes!

what a special moment. i like the fact that the dog was getting involved, it illustrates... it is a family affair, these big matches. it will be a huge day to come. we will build up to the big game here throughout the morning. for now, it is back to you in the studio. thanks very much indeed. what a brilliant, brilliant, exciting trip to make. . . brilliant, brilliant, exciting trip to make. , , , ., , to make. the sun is shining, leaping around. a surprise _ to make. the sun is shining, leaping around. a surprise ticket. _ to make. the sun is shining, leaping around. a surprise ticket. it - to make. the sun is shining, leaping around. a surprise ticket. it could i around. a surprise ticket. it could be a lona around. a surprise ticket. it could be a long trip _ around. a surprise ticket. it could be a long trip back _ around. a surprise ticket. it could be a long trip back in _ around. a surprise ticket. it could be a long trip back in the - around. a surprise ticket. it could be a long trip back in the camper| be a long trip back in the camper van. . . be a long trip back in the camper van, ., , ., , be a long trip back in the camper van. ., , ., , ., be a long trip back in the camper van. ., , ., ., ., , van. planes, trains and automobiles, uke would do — van. planes, trains and automobiles, uke would do anything. _ van. planes, trains and automobiles, uke would do anything. anything - van. planes, trains and automobiles, uke would do anything. anything to l uke would do anything. anything to be there for— uke would do anything. anything to be there for the _ uke would do anything. anything to be there for the match. _ uke would do anything. anything to be there for the match. you - uke would do anything. anything to be there for the match. you could i be there for the match. you could start the week _ be there for the match. you could start the week before _ be there for the match. you could start the week before and - be there for the match. you could start the week before and walk i be there for the match. you could start the week before and walk a l start the week before and walk a bit, whatever, just to get there. and they did. fingers crossed. it is 6:a5am and matt is lord of the money in the countryside. i5 6:asam and matt is lord of the money in the countryside.— in the countryside. is that you are at lake? it is. i thought i would give the

in a san diego warehouse, officials discovered a hole carved into the concrete floor. it led them to a series of subterranean passageways, roughly six storeys deep. along rail tracks you can see on the ground, it's thought a mexican cartel smuggled vast quantities of illegal drugs under the border and into the united states. by no means the first such venture of its kind but — complete with electricity and ventilation — undoubtedly one of the more sophisticated. the tunnel leads all the way to a house in the mexican border town of tijuana, and one very bemused owner. "i came back from a stroll and now they won't let me enter my home," says javierjimenez. "i wasn't aware of anything going on, it was all hidden. i didn't hear a thing. in 12 years of living here i've never seen anything suspicious, nothing at all." 0fficials seized cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine with an estimated street value

of $25 million. six people from california have been arrested. army officials are now guarding the entrance to the tunnel on the mexican side of the border, before the us side is filled with concrete. a local us attorney said there was no more light at the end of this narco tunnel, but it's likely others may emerge to take its place. that is crazy. how long did that take to build? aha, that is crazy. how long did that take to build?— in afghanistan, secret schools are being set up to educate girls, who the taliban are not allowing back into the classroom. the leadership continues to insist girls' secondary schools will eventually re—open, but many afghans are losing hope. secunder kermani has been to one secret school and sent this report. hidden away, in a residential neighbourhood, a small but powerful act of defiance.

these teenage girls, like most in the country, have not been allowed back to school by the taliban so they are attending lessons secretly. today's class, trigonometry. for their security, we are not revealing anyone's name or identity. are you afraid of what could happen to you? of course. we know about them. but girls education, we will take any risk to do that.— risk to do that. even if it means ou risk to do that. even if it means you getting _ risk to do that. even if it means you getting arrested _ risk to do that. even if it means you getting arrested by - risk to do that. even if it means you getting arrested by the - risk to do that. even if it means - you getting arrested by the taliban? we do our best to do this secretly. but if they arrest me, they beat me, but it is worth it to do that. it is worth it? of course, of course, it's worth it.

back in march, it seemed girls' schools were finally reopening, but at the last minute, the taliban leadership overruled the decision. for students here, the pain is still raw. translation: on the day we went to school, they told us it is not - clear if girls will be allowed or not. perhaps they will, later on. it has been two months now and it has not happened. it makes me so sad. translation: my message to all the uirls of translation: my message to all the girls of afghanistan _ translation: my message to all the girls of afghanistan is _ translation: my message to all the girls of afghanistan is be _ translation: my message to all the girls of afghanistan is be brave. - translation: my message to all the girls of afghanistan is be brave. if - girls of afghanistan is be brave. if you are brave, no one can stop you. younger girls have been allowed back to school, but it is not clear when or if older girls will be. the taliban say the need to create the correct islamic environment first. taliban officials admit that female education is a sensitive issue for them, with some influential hardliners apparently opposed to it. but in private, others within the group have expressed their disappointment at the decision not to allow

all girls schools to reopen. a number of religious scholars linked to the taliban have made public declarations in support of the right of girls to learn. sheikh rahimullah haqqani is an afghan cleric, well respected by the taliban, based in pakistan. on a recent trip to kabul, he met seniorfigures in the group. he's careful not to criticise the continued closure of girls schools, but has issued a religious decree stating they can and should be educated. translation: there is no | justification in sharia to say female education is not allowed, no justification at all. all the religious books have stated female education is permissible and obligatory because, for example, if a woman gets sick in an islamic environment like afghanistan or pakistan, and needs treatment, it is much better if she is treated

by a female doctor. boys of all ages are back in the classroom, but the taliban have now formed a committee to debate what to do about girls' secondary schools. for now, it seems, their most hardline elements are ones deciding what the country's future will look like. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. really busy morning for you. lots to talk about. let's take you outside to the fresh air right now and show you this glorious image in grimsby this morning. nina is at the fish market for a very special reason. fade market for a very special reason. we exect market for a very special reason. - expect inflation figures to come out in the next five minutes and mean it will bring those to us but in the meantime that picture is beautifully calming. we should have that on the wall every day. i calming. we should have that on the wall every day-— wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in _ wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in the _ wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in the fish _ wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in the fish market, - wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in the fish market, it i wall every day. i don't think it is so calm in the fish market, it is| so calm in the fish market, it is hectic. it is a busy time for them.

and not so, out on the north sea, that we know that. we will have all eyes on the clock for 7am for the inflation figures. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley the head of the london fire brigade says it's "extremely concerning" that more than a thousand residential buildings in london still have serious fire safety failings, almost five years after the grenfell tower tragedy. it's as plans for reform of the fire service have been announced by the government. improvements include modernising work practices, more accountability and better engagement with the public. the changes are in part a response to the grenfell fire, in which 72 people lost their lives. harrow council has apologised residents are still waiting for their £150 council tax rebate.

it says its down to a technical error. the rebate scheme was introduced by the government to ease the burden of rising energy costs across the capital. young evacuees from afghanistan who have come to london have been taking part in cricket training sessions. the sessions, which take place at holland park, first started back in october last year. 0rganisers say they expected only 12 people, but more than 30 turned up and it's been popular ever since. it was really hard for us to leave your own country — not only the country, your relatives and your whole life — because we spend the whole life back in afghanistan. leaving everything was difficult, but since we came here... so we started playing cricket, which really helps me to forget the pain that we have suffered from the situation back in afghanistan. the royal mint has teamed up with an artist from east london to create a 50 pence piece celebrating the 50th anniversary of pride. dominique holmes designed the coin which will be the colours of the pride flag.

it's the first time the lgbtq+ community has been celebrated on official uk coinage. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's severe delays on the dlr, and minor delays on the piccadilly line. 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far — temperatures over 27 celsius out towards the west of london. today, temperatures down a little notch on that, but dry, sunny and warm once more for the bulk of the day today. and i think we're comfortably into the low 20s. that is still well above average for the time of year. but we do have some intense weather for this evening — a band of showers to cross us, coming in from the west, skirting off towards the east. they could be quite heavy and thundery for a time. they move through quite quickly, though — they're gone by tomorrow morning, and it will be another warm start tomorrow. a lot of dry weather around the next couple of days. but, again, here on the fronts chart, you can see that, although we have this area of high pressure trying to push

in and kill off any showers, there are still a tangle of weather fronts around as we go through the next few days. looks like things turn a bit more settled as we head through towards the weekend for a time. but the temperature's going to fluctuate a little bit — a little bit cooler, for instance, on friday, especially if we do get some showers through. but temperatures remain on the warm side for the time of year. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back tojon and sally. bye for now.

"a man was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault, sexualassault, rape, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office." now, the whips in parliament, the conservative party whips, the people in charge of party discipline, have asked this person to stay away from parliament. at the moment they can't force them to do so, but they have made that request. unions who represent some people in parliament, the prospect union, have been saying they actually need to go further and there need to be new rules that mean that if someone is being investigated for a sexual—related allegation, they should be made to stay away from parliament. they should have their ability to access the parliamentary estate revoked. but as i say, there is not a great deal of information about this storyjust yet. nick eardley in westminster.

that really sunk into my soul, and i miss those very much today. the memories of two parents determined their daughter's death won't be in vain. in 2016, natasha ednan—laperouse went into cardiac arrest on a flight after buying a baguette. the 15—year—old knew she had a food allergy and always checked labels — but the bread she ate contained sesame seeds, that were not included in the list of ingredients. she died in a french hospital later that day. since then, her parents have fought successfully to introduce new food—labelling rules. and this is the next stage of her parents' tireless campaign. natasha's trial really gets going shortly. yes, this is a very large clinical- trial and we hope that there will be a lot of interest... a three—year clinical trial exposing

young people to the foods they're allergic to, in the hope they develop greater tolerance. with successful immunotherapy,| you get to a point where the food that you're allergic to doesn't hospitalise you any more. - and that takes so much stress out of families' lives. - but the crucial bit _ to the research that we're doing is that the medicine is actually the very food that _ you're allergic to. and so we're not relying - on expensive pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life. it's a momentous moment for us both, actually, as husband and wife and parents of natasha. i think we feel, on one level, quite proud that we've got here. it seems like a long time coming, in some ways. an estimated two million of us live with food allergies — and that number is on the rise, with a higher percentage of children impacted compared with adults. and in the last decade alone, there's been a threefold increase in the number of hospital admissions due to extreme food allergies.

the samples are taken... professor hasan arshad hopes the data gathered will help the nhs make savings. we have also introduced a very novel aspect, - i which is to use ordinary available | food as opposed to using a capsule with the peanut powder in — - which is obviously more expensive. hopefully the nhs could implement i this treatment for the thousands i of people who suffer from allergy without incurring a huge cost. - all right, jamie, shall we do your milk now? 11—year—old jamie took part in an earlier trial to help improve his tolerance to milk. so the variety of foods that jamie can eat has has really increased. it's been so exciting and worth it. and the foods i can eat now is pizza, chocolate doughnuts, jacket potato and cheese, pasta and cheese.

although trials like this aren't a cure, natasha's parents say they offer an opportunity their daughter didn't have. so if natasha was alive today and she knew what was happening — that there was a clinical trial in her name — it would have meant everything to her. and i think knowing that there was research happening, looking into solutions and looking into treatments so that she could live a less—stressed life around the food that she was eating, would have been enormous for her. she's in heaven now and she's looking down and she's saying, "yes, mummy and daddy!" yeah. "fantastic, let's do this." celestina 0lulode, bbc news. natasha's mum and dad will be with us before the end of the programme to talk about that ground—breaking news. it to talk about that ground-breaking news. .

it says it's down to a technical error. the rebate scheme was introduced by the goverment to ease the burden of rising energy costs across the capital. young evacuees from afghanistan who have come to london have been taking part in cricket training sessions. the sessions, which take place at holland park, first started back in october last year. 0rganisers say they expected only 12 people, but more than 30 turned up and it's been popular ever since. it was really hard for us to leave your own country — not only the country, your relatives and your whole life — because we spend the whole life back in afghanistan. leaving everything was difficult, but since we came here...

a post—covid financial boost. and victor, who runs this city—centre bar, says they have been having an incredible day. 5,000 police officers are on duty, with a plan to keep both locals and visitors safe. translation: we will do our best and we have a lot - of experience with this. that doesn't mean there might not be problems. we sincerely believe that we have got the ability to counteract any that could crop up. but there could be some serious ones. it's a lot of people with a lot of alcohol, the vast majority without tickets. but that's no barrier to those desperate to see their team win their first european title for 50 years. fan zones with big screens set up for those without a seat at the game itself. the tears'll flow when we lift that trophy, and they will be the happiest tears

in the world — ever. they'll never see it again in my lifetime, that's for sure. we can't expect to get a final every time, but i think when you can do, | you've got to embrace it, - you've got to make the most of it. the aim, once this festival of football is over, is that all anyone will be talking about is the result. lorna gordon, bbc news, seville. so many fans desperate to be here, evenif so many fans desperate to be here, even if they don't have a ticket. we have seen fans buy in from as far away as canada, australia. i spoke to people yesterday who had flown in from the middle east, i spoke to three generations of the same family, grandparents here with their sons —— sons and daughters and grandchildren. i spoke to a couple yesterday who have shelved the plans for the 20th anniversary so they could be here, desperate to see this huge moment in ranges of�* history.

it is their 150 year anniversary, 50 years since they won their one and only european title, and some interesting stories bubbling around. you feel that maybe the stars are aligning for rangers here in seville. they certainly align for a nine—year—old rangers fan robbie, who got himself a ticket for the game. the only issue was he didn't have his passport back in time to be able to travel. there was a desperate plea from his parents to get it back in time so we could be here and this was his reaction he found out he would be coming here to seville. he chuckles. my passport. what does that mean? no, shut up! am i going to seville?! yeah! yes! come on! yes! dog barks. yes!

absolutely, yes, indeed! that is what it's about. love that. you get the feel of the passion and excitement and i love that the dog got involved, as well. great story rub it to be here. will it end in a trophy? we wait and see. the stories. there were some unsavoury scenes last night in the championship semifinal play—off between nottingham forest and sheffield united. the sheffield united forward was attacked on the sidelines of the pitch after that game concluded. billy sharp was knocked out by a fan who ran onto the pitch. 31—year—old man has been arrested following that when for nottingham forest. television footage showed a fan knocking sharp to the ground during a pitch invasion. he had been on the sidelines after missing the game through injury. sheffield united manager paul heckingbottom said sharp was "shook up, bleeding and angry". forest have apologised and said

they will be issuing a lifetime ban. nottingham forest back into the premier league. it finished 3—3 on aggregate after extra—time — forest's hero was goalkeeper brice samba who saved three spot kicks — the final one from morgan gibbs—white, which sparked those wild celebrations. sorry, they are back into the final, a chance of getting into the premier league. hoping to get back into the top flight for the first time since 1999. the play—off final awaits. and to the premier league, where the title race will go down to the last day of the season after liverpool fought back to win 2—1 at southampton. the saints went ahead before liverpool struck twice — their first goal a superb shot from takumi minamino. joel matip with the winner. jurgen klopp's side are a point behind defending champions manchester city. the end of the season should be fun, come sunday, with that shoot—out to come sunday, with that shoot—out to come between manchester city and liverpool. what a day ahead in the

beautiful sunshine in seville for all those rangers fans, around 100,000 calling this place home as we build up to that big game tonight against eintracht frankfurt. kick off at 8pm. we feel may be the stars are aligning for rangers at the moment. that sense of anticipation, the excitement. will it end with the ultimate prize, the silverware? just a second major european title in the history of the club. we wait to see. i am history of the club. we wait to see. iam imagining robert's history of the club. we wait to see. i am imagining robert's classmate watching him on tv getting his ticket for the game, green with envy this morning. furious. i ticket for the game, green with envy this morning. furious.— this morning. furious. i know, and imaaine this morning. furious. i know, and imagine robbie's _ this morning. furious. i know, and imagine robbie's reaction - this morning. furious. i know, and imagine robbie's reaction if- this morning. furious. i know, and i imagine robbie's reaction if rangers win. that would be where filming. brute win. that would be where filming. we will win. that would be where filming. - will get that reaction tomorrow, shall we? fingers crossed. for now, thank you very much. he has a long day ahead of him also a long time to wait. but he has a long day ahead of him also a long time to wait.— a long time to wait. but he has sunshine in _ a long time to wait. but he has sunshine in seville. _ a long time to wait. but he has sunshine in seville. but - a long time to wait. but he has sunshine in seville. but do - a long time to wait. but he has sunshine in seville. but do we | a long time to wait. but he has - sunshine in seville. but do we have sunshine in seville. but do we have

head towards school pick up but for most, sunny spells throughout and pleasantly one. if you degrees doubt on south east, around 22, 23, but 17 to 23, a good few degrees warmer than we normally expect at this time in may. this evening, storms explode across the country, moving from south—west to east. heaviest rain likely across england and wales, the risk of flooding. they clear by the morning and under that wild night, ten to 14 degrees. 0vernight rain, which means tomorrow will be another dry, sunny and pleasantly one day for most. a few showers in the north—west of scotland, most stay dry and it will feel warm in the sunshine with temperatures in the high teens or low 205. it gets a bit cooler as we go towards the weekend but high teens or low 205. it gets a bit cooler as we go towards the weekend but temperatures high teens or low 205. it gets a bit cooler as we go towards the weekend but temperatures are high teens or low 205. it gets a bit cooler as we go towards the weekend but temperatures are still high teens or low 205. it gets a bit cooler as we go towards the weekend but temperatures are still above where we normally expect at this stage in may and it is much more pleasant than the 35 degrees they will see in seville this afternoon. back to you both. you are winning. you get the weather cup today.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. prices rise by the fastest rate in 40 years, as higher energy bills hit millions of households. the biggest squeeze in a generation as inflation hits at 9%. i am at grimsby fish market to find out where they are feeling the force of inflation and what could bring it down. a conservative mp is released on bail, having been arrested on suspicion of rape, and sexual assault. hope out of tragedy — the parents of a girl who died from an allergic reaction to a baguette start a clinical trial to stop it happening to others. welcome to seville, home to around 100,000 expectant rangers fans for the next 24 hours, as their side prepares to face eintracht frankfurt

in the final of the europa league tonight. and whilst it will not be as hard here as seville, it is still going to be a warm, dry and sunny day for the vast majority. big storms heading our way tonight. all the details on breakfast. good morning. it's wednesday, 18th may. new figures published in the last hour by the office for national statistics show inflation hit 9%, a 40—year high, in april. higher fuel and food costs as well as rising energy bills are driving prices up. nina's getting some reaction for us in grimsby this morning. good morning from grimsby fish market. we knew that the 9% figure was predicted. it was expected. but it takes a lot to absorb that number. the highest for a generation. what it means is that

prices are 9% higher at this point in the year than they were a year earlier. your money is going 9% less for. there is cod being skinned and filleted behind me. have a think about the journey it has taken since it was taken out of the icelandic ocean on a vessel, put on a lorry and brought here. the workers here asking to be paid a bit more. the ices are costing more to run. it is all happening. the question to you is, whether on a friday night, you fancy that a fish supper? are is it affordable. it is going in a circle driving costs up. that is why at the moment inflation is at 9%. 0n moment inflation is at 9%. on average prices are 9% higher than they were last year. that is the highest point they have been out since 1982. have a think about that. that is because of the energy price

cap that went up in april. 54%. it doesn't matter whether you are flitting the fish, it doesn't matter whether you are a pensioner, doesn't matter whether you are a student trying to make your loan go further, everybody is filling at the moment, as we have been finding out. shopping's like a tenner more sometimes, perweek. itjust gets so much more expensive. bread, i mean, that's gone up. i think the bread that i have has gone up about 50p. kira is 19 and lives in greater manchester on her student loan and wages from her part timejob. but it's not easy. before the student loan in april, i had £17 in my bank left. nothing — no savings, no nothing. when it comes to affording shopping at the moment, how are you making ends meet? i shop less, so, i shop every two weeks now. i try and get a big batch of chicken, and then i'll freeze it all so it don't go out of date. and then, i'll make sure that i kind of split them up and make meals,

and maybe make like a batch meal. kind of saw people doing this. and kira has another trick too. this is what these are — budget binders. ok, so show me inside, show me inside — i want to see! so, this is long term. she puts physical notes into binder pockets for each type of saving and spending. and if you get change then, if you're spending any of these, you know, tenners, and you get a bit of change, that goes into these these these massive pots? yes. 0k. so if i spend £7 of this, or £7 something, the change will go into these. so the pounds all go into here, and the silver and copper all goes into there. so there's about £60 in there at the minute. so i'll basically wait until they get full, or wait until they get to £100 or £150, and then that will go into my savings in my bank. in castleford, saving is becoming increasingly hard. cheryl and her husband both work full—time, but with their energy bills bouncing up and up, the plan to buy their own family home is feeling more like a pipe dream.

i'm constantly turning everything off at the switch. every night we turn everything off. we ensure that we use a full dishwasher, full washing machine, like, full load when we're washing. so i'm sort of running out of ideas at the minute, because i am doing everything i can to sort of keep my energy bills as low as possible. but it is a battle, and it seems that there's not really much more i can do at the minute. how does it feel to know that those bills are going up again in the autumn? there's nothing more that i can do. it's almost like i've come to the point where i've accepted that my savings are going to be less going forward, and that'sjust what i've got to do for now. sky high petrol and diesel prices are causing problems for mike and ev. they're making hard choices about how often they can afford to visit their children and grandchildren. the hotel prices have gone up, fuel prices have gone up. and from here, stoke—on—trent, is 195 miles each way.

that makes it very difficult for us to see our family on a regular basis, because you just can't afford it any more. it's not there. the money's not there. the figures don't add up. as pensioners, everything is negative. there is no... the only positive we've got in life is we're happy. we are happy, yes. those big drivers of inflation — fuel costs. food prices at every shop, and most of all, energy bills — are all continuing to rise, limiting choices, dreams and budgets in every home. coletta smith, bbc news. we arejust going we are just going to interrupt we are just going to interruthohn. you can seejust we are just going to interruthohn. you can see just how busy he is, for letting a face a minute. can i pull you out here for one second. i am looking around at the overheads in this place. can you estimate how much they have gone up? i gather

and the duchess of cornwall are continuing their tour of canada as part of the queen's platinum jubilee celebrations. the three—day tour will include the northwest territories and canada's capital region, and is focused on the issues of climate change and reconciliation with indigenous communities. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. it's been five years since the canadian military last welcomed their future king. this was the first stop on the three—day tour, stjohn's, the most easterly city in north america. travelling there to meet the royal couple, the prime ministerjustin trudeau. this was a welcome rich in the music and culture of canada's indigenous peoples, but the reality is they haven't always been celebrated and honoured in this way. a process of reconciliation is under way in canada to try to right the wrongs suffered by so many thousands of first nations, inuit and metis peoples.

as we look to our collective future, as one people sharing one planet, we must find new ways to come to terms with the darker and more difficult aspects of the past. acknowledging, reconciling, and striving to do better. it is a process that starts with listening. this wasn't the apology from the crown that some indigenous groups have called for, but was an acknowledgement to work with the canadian people, and it was echoed by the prime minister. as much as the crown has been an important part of our past, i know you are committed to the work we must all do to build a better future for the next generation and the ones after that. in the grounds of government house, the couple joined indigenous leaders for a healing ceremony in a garden which represents one of the country's darkest chapters.

up until the 19705, tens of thousands of indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools. many didn't survive. a few of those who did spoke with charles and camilla. as part of canada's reconciliation initiative, schoolchildren are encouraged to leave hearts, with their own feelings about what happened. as with other recent commonwealth tours, it's clear that there are deep and difficult historical issues to be addressed. but in this, the queen's platinumjubilee year, this is also a celebration of canada and its people. quidi vidi harbour provided a picture perfect backdrop for a brief walkabout, to the delight of those who turned up to catch a glimpse. did you see them? we did see them. and actually, he spoke to this little girl, cecilia, and she's — her dad's english, and her grandparents are english. and he said, "how many languages

"and look at the wee one." is she a supporter of the monarchy? oh, yes. i saw both of them and they waved at my brother—in—law's dog. there was just time to sample the local beer brewed using 20,000 year old water from nearby icebergs, before heading off to the airport. next stop, the capital, 0ttawa. sarah campbell, bbc news, newfoundland and labrador. i wonder if he actually finished that point? riff i wonder if he actually finished that point?— that point? of course he did! probably had _ that point? of course he did! probably had hers _ that point? of course he did! probably had hers as - that point? of course he did! probably had hers as well. i that point? of course he did! j probably had hers as well. 19 minutes past eight. matt has the weather. we were in grimsby a few minutes ago. look at it outside. blue skies. absolutely fantastic. and i can tell you that landmark there, that is a hydraulic accumulator tower. the grimsby dock tower. a maritime landmark built in

and warm day forjust look at the forecast. a dry, sunny and warm day for just about all through today. a few more showers still to come this morning in the north—west of scotland. they will depart. most will stick with some dry, sunny conditions. later on, northern ireland and southern counties of england and wales, the cloud will increase and a few more showers will return. temperatures won't hit a 27 today. 23 in the south—east and east anglia. more likely high teens, low 205. moderate to high pollen levels. this evening showers and storms will burst to life in parts of the country, particularly england and wales. that could cause my —— minorflooding. they will clear through towards tomorrow morning. just one or two left over. tonight, not a cold night. temperatures ten to 14 degrees. the good thing at the moment, even though some of that rain will be quite nasty at times, it is mostly happening at night.

another dry day tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. isolated showers in north—west scotland. most will stay fine with temperatures of 17 to 23 celsius. friday looking showery. some showers this weekend but a lot of dry weather too. this coming sunday is the fifth anniversary of the manchester arena bombing. 22 people died in the attack, and many more lives were changed forever. dylas kiss lost his mother michelle at the arena that night, and he is now driven by a determination to create a positive legacy for his mum. judith moritz reports. everyone wants to ask if you're all right. no—one can do that on a golf course. you know, you're completely free, you can do what you want. the only thing that's winding you up is the bad shots that i'm constantly hitting. it's five years since

dylan's mum died. five years of grief and loss. michelle kiss was murdered in the manchester arena bombing. she was just a typical mum. she always made sure that the kids come first, and any opportunity they wanted to do, she'd make sure that, "i'm going to help you organise that and you're going to do that." i mourn for my mum in different ways. i love it when i cry and i see something, and i'm upsetand i miss her, because ijust knew the love that i had was so powerful. and, you know, it's good to get that out. and for anyone who says, like, "oh, cry," you know, this, that, it's the most brave thing you can do. make a decision when you go forward, make a decision! that strength of character has been on display recently, as dylan took part in channel a's extreme resilience show sas: who dares wins. 0n the programme he opened up about the night his mum was killed. my little sister comes running out.

she's just like, "mum's gone," you know, "mum's gone." "come on, we'll find her, we'll find her." and, unfortunately, my mum got caught in the head. she was pronounced dead the next day. and, er, that's your new reality. i had to become a man straight away. the last few years have been tough, but dylan finds that golf gives him an escape. chances. bit of golf in that, as well, bit of golf in that! it's just that release for me. it's perfect. and i hold golf accountable for me getting myself right, because it was incredibly tough, obviously, to go through that, what my family went through. butjust having that freedom to, you know, clear your mind, and golf really brought that out of me. so, you know, i'm thankfulfor it. hand forward. dylan spent a lot of time with his friend sam, who's a golf pro. and what started off as a bit

of coaching has now become a serious fundraising effort. they've organised charity tournaments to benefit three hospitals. oh, my goodness! are you a professional? the golf day is obviously keeping michelle's memory alive. we've raised just over £30,000 in three years. all three, four years of it has been good memories, you know, remembering why we've done it and everyone smiling. and then you do have that reflection of, like, yeah, we've done this. the big cheques keep coming in, and the money couldn't be going to better use. it'll help the sickest patients in intensive care units, and is going towards a new major trauma hospitalfor greater manchester. they're absolutely brilliant, such wonderful, wonderful lads. they've worked so, so hard to raise this amount of money. the equipment that is going to be provided in those hospitals, it really is going to be life—changing, you know. it's going to make such a difference to our patients and their families. this is what we've designed. yeah, man. so obviously that's the home

kit, goalkeeper kit... raising their game, the lads are now looking for sponsors for a charity football match in the summer. dylan has turned his pain into positivity, and his mum is neverfarfrom his thoughts. the way that you can really beat yourself up and get yourself down. and ijust think, i've had the worst thing that could ever happen, and i've had to dig deep. i'm not saying it was easy, and it still isn't easy. but i really have fought and battled myself to just try and keep that positive mental attitude. and that's the only thing i would, you know, recommend or suggest, is just, no matter how bleak days are and how grey, you've just got to keep smiling through it. i know she's proud, and i know she's still with me. as far as everything goes, you know, i'm in a good place and happy and earning money for charity. what a lovely young man he now is.

was attacked in an alleyway near to south ealing tube station. a 29—year—old man's being questioned on suspicion of murder. young evacuees from afghanistan who have come to london have been taking part in cricket training sessions. the sessions, which take place at holland park, first started back in october last year. 0rganisers say they expected only 12 people, but more than 30 turned up and it's been popular ever since. it was really hard for us to leave your own country — not only the country, your relatives and your whole life — because we spend the whole life back in afghanistan. leaving everything was difficult, but since we came here... so we started playing cricket, which really helps me to forget the pain that we have suffered from the situation back in afghanistan. the royal mint has teamed up with an artist from east london to create a 50 pence piece celebrating the 50th anniversary of pride. dominique holmes designed the coin, which will use the latest

colour—printing technology. it's the first time the lgbtq+ community has been celebrated on official uk coinage. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. it's all looking pretty smooth out there — no big problems to worry about. 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far — temperatures over 27 celsius out towards the west of london. today, temperatures down a little notch on that, but dry, sunny and warm once more for the bulk of the day today. and i think we're comfortably into the low 205. that is still well above average for the time of year. but we do have some intense weather for this evening — a band of showers to cross us, coming in from the west, skirting off towards the east. they could be quite heavy and thundery for a time. they move through quite quickly, though — they're gone by tomorrow morning, and it will be another warm start tomorrow. a lot of dry weather around the next couple of days. but, again, here on the fronts

chart, you can see that, although we have this area of high pressure trying to push in and kill off any showers, there are still a tangle of weather fronts around as we go through the next few days. looks like things turn a bit more settled as we head through towards the weekend for a time. but the temperature's going to fluctuate a little bit — a little bit cooler, for instance, on friday, especially if we do get some showers through. but temperatures remain on the warm side for the time of year. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom just after 9.00. now it's back tojon and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. gethin and sam can tell us what they have in store. good what they have in store. morning. good what the have in store. morninu. good whatthe have in store. morninu. ., good what the have in store. morninu. ., . good whatthe have in store. morninu. morning. coming up on morning live... doctors are preparing for more people to come forward with symptoms of bowel cancer after dame deborahjames' tireless campaigning. as well as raising over

could help it along the way if readers can win the game, play well, but also champions league next season. that is not to denigrate what the europa league is but the fact they can get into the champions league is massive for them and i could see that excitement all over scotland but hopefully all over the uk, as well. we scotland but hopefully all over the uk, as well-— uk, as well. we have heard the pempective _ uk, as well. we have heard the pempective of _ uk, as well. we have heard the perspective of the _ uk, as well. we have heard the perspective of the fans, - uk, as well. we have heard the perspective of the fans, give i uk, as well. we have heard the perspective of the fans, give a. perspective of the fans, give a sense as a former player those players who will be playing this note, how special this is. in a footballing career the opportunity to play at a major european final doesn't roll around all that often. we spend a lot of time looking at manchester citys and chelseas, liverpool. most players don't get that. former rangers players, a lot of them have played in domestic cup finals but this is maybe once—in—a—lifetime for some of them. you look back after your career, you will look back to one or two

specific moments and this will be one of them tonight. they probably don't think this way just one of them tonight. they probably don't think this wayjust now, because it may make them more nervous but they will be aware of the absolute importance of it so they must go there, give it their best, probably a little bit of a and they will dine out on it for the rest of their lives.— they will dine out on it for the rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here, rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here. many _ rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here. many of— rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here, many of them _ rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here, many of them won't - rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here, many of them won't be i rest of their lives. 150,000 fans here, many of them won't be in| here, many of them won't be in there, but the key thing is everyone will be hoping that tonight passes off without incident. ii will be hoping that tonight passes off without incident.— will be hoping that tonight passes off without incident. if you mention the fact that _ off without incident. if you mention the fact that in — off without incident. if you mention the fact that in the _ off without incident. if you mention the fact that in the past _ off without incident. if you mention the fact that in the past there - off without incident. if you mention the fact that in the past there have | the fact that in the past there have been problems, trouble is, i have been problems, trouble is, i have been here for two days now and it has been lovely, really nice. the attitude, the atmosphere and the rangers fans, i got a bit of ribbing myself. it has been good fun. if that's can continue there is no doubt eintracht frankfurt fans will meet up with rangers fans and i don't mean the ones in the stadium

stop they are both passionate fans, if the attitudes between the two is good then this could be really memorable for all the right reasons. do you think it will end in silverware for rangers later? it is the toss of— silverware for rangers later? it is the toss of a _ silverware for rangers later? it is the toss of a coin _ silverware for rangers later? it 3 the toss of a coin and i wouldn't be surprised if we end up going 120 minutes. and in this heat, and it could be well into the 305 tonight, i cannot tell you we will survive. rangers are competitive, i was at the semifinal when eintracht played against west ham. they are good but not great. this is winnable for radius. . ., not great. this is winnable for radius. , ., ., ,, .«r ., not great. this is winnable for radius. , ., ., ,, .," ., radius. great to speak to you. the will be a massive _ radius. great to speak to you. the will be a massive factor— radius. great to speak to you. the will be a massive factor for- radius. great to speak to you. the will be a massive factor for the i will be a massive factor for the players later. there were some unsavoury incidents. certainly in the championship play—off semifinal involving nottingham forest against sheffield united. a 31—year—old man has been arrested after sheffield united captain billy sharp was assaulted as his side lost to nottingham forrest on penalties in their championship play—off semi final.

yesterday's wet weather that we finished with is out into the north sea. another batch set to come in later from the west are so in between those two, we have the lion's share of the dry weather through the daytime. there are a few showers across the north west of scotland. those showers will fade away through the morning. varying amounts of cloud around, turning the sunshine he in places, for most, good long sunny spells to take us today in parts of london scotland paddle vicar, one or two showers. it is good to feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, temperatures high teas to low 205. 23 this afternoon across parts of east anglia and the south east. moderate to high pollen levels and the uv is increasing. this evening storms burst into life across many areas, particularly for england and wales. the heaviest of the rain, chance of minorflooding. that all gets out into the north sea by tomorrow morning something is turning dry it for tomorrow morning

and these are the temperatures to expect, ten to 14 degrees, not a cold start today. we are between weather systems again on thursday so it means most places will have a fine day. a fair bit of sunshine, the breeze across southern and eastern areas lighter and less windy to the north. 0ne eastern areas lighter and less windy to the north. one or two showers in north—west scotland, most are staying dry, temperatures not far off the values of today, pleasant and and above where we should be for this stage in may. friday is different, low pressure closer, the breeze picks up again and a scattering of showers across the country, the most frequent to the north and west. the further south and east you are, to dry at your day will be. pleasant in the sunny spells but it will turn cooler into this weekend but still plenty of dry weather between one or two showers around. 0verall, nota bad weather between one or two showers around. 0verall, not a bad day today, just watch out for this showers that is how it looks today in cambridgeshire, back to you both in cambridgeshire, back to you both in salford. is that an oak tree you have behind you? it is that an oak tree you have behind ou? .

..to save it, like it is — you know, regardless of how crazy that sounds. this tree was so vast, its apocalyptic descent would have just smashed and crushed everything in its path, and it would havejust gone splat into the mushy silt of what was once the forest floor. when a farmer in norfolk discovered this tree, hamish was called in. his decision not to chop it up, and retain its length, led to all kinds of logistical challenges. a special sawmill was flown in from canada, and carpenters and students constructed a bespoke saw bench in the field. 0nce converted into planks, the tree had to be transported in a lorry. with no kiln in the country big enough to dry the wood, the team had to build one — even moving the planks around at the building crafts college in london meant roads had to be closed off.

now the team behind this project say they've created a table for the nation. lovely. this tree was unearthed in 2012 — the year of the queen's diamond jubilee. it's taken ten years, but is now ready in this platinum jubilee year. and at the cathedral, a royal visit — with princess anne officially unveiling this extraordinary piece of furniture made from thejubilee 0ak. applause. that's pretty insane. that's a long tree. absolutely fantastic. yeah. you'd never think of it, would you? no, no, it's amazing. as we were walking around and reading about it, - it's the most fascinating story we've ever seen. _ the table will stay at ely cathedral until march of next year, then it will go on tour and be hosted by other venues
