good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a warning from the chancellor that households face a tough few months with the cost of living crisis. rishi sunak says he's ready to help, but he's under pressure to take more action sooner. the next few months will be tough but where we can act we will. aaron ramsey pays the penalty, on a bitter night for rangers here in seville. they lose the europa league final
6:01 am
to german side eintracht frankfurt in an agonising shoot—out on a disappointing night in the sweltering spanish heat. the line—up for the queen's platinum jubilee concert has been revealed and it includes soul legend diana ross. with household budgets under pressure, will a getaway to the sun be a stretch too far for many families? very few bargains on offer, passport problems and airport queues. i'll look at what impact all this could have on your plans and the travel industry. after 36 years, the wait is over for top gun fans. the uk premiere is tonight, with hopes of taking your breath away. never mind danger zone, it was the thunder zone for some of you last night. the storms have cleared and for most it will be a dry day with sunny spells and once again. the
6:02 am
full full coming up. it's thursday 19th may. our main story. the next few months will be tough. that was the warning from the chancellor rishi sunak when he addressed the cost of living crisis in a speech to business leaders last night. he said the government is ready to do what it can but he's facing renewed pressure to take immediate action to help families. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thank you. high and getting higher. prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come
6:03 am
for households struggling with soaring bills. he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for a0 years. and looking back, figures show that when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government about what to do and where to ease the rising cost of living. opposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed. during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families
6:04 am
feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning. so, we know it's tough, we know there are some extra, it is going to be tough over the next few months, the chancellor is not telling us anything new. but has he noted the pressure on him and the treasury to actually do something about it? . ., ., , ., ., about it? yeah, a few months ago when ou about it? yeah, a few months ago when you talked _ about it? yeah, a few months ago when you talked to _ about it? yeah, a few months ago when you talked to the _ about it? yeah, a few months ago when you talked to the treasury l about it? yeah, a few months ago i when you talked to the treasury and said what are you going to do to help people with their gas and electricity bills, they said, we have done it with the council tax rebate at the start of the year, and the rebate as they call it on energy bills late in the year. now the fact is the chancellor is standing in front of business people standing and doing speech saying the government approach is going to evolve shows that their approach has already evolved because they initially thought they had done
6:05 am
enough. the government has still not decided what to actually do, we are still at the discussion stage and everyone has an idea, whether it is government ministers and different departments, whether it is number 10 on number 11, opposition mps or conservative mps, think tanks, charities. that's why the debate can seem a little bit chaotic at the moment. the big hint that the chancellor dropped last night in his speech is when he talked about targeting support at the vulnerable, so that suggests that options they would look at is to help people who are already getting help. some conservative mps and ministers would rather have a big tax cut that applies to everyone, but i think the chancellor's suggestion last night was that that was not going to happen, support would be much more targeted. he didn't say anything about the real hot potato at the moment, the idea of the windfall tax on the gas and oil companies who have been making record profits. you can see the debate in government
6:06 am
getting much stronger around that, with some people saying it is not a goodidea with some people saying it is not a good idea because it will stop those companies investing, and other people saying, no, it is a good idea and it would send a very strong political signal. so that potato is going to get hotter. find political signal. so that potato is going to get hotter.— political signal. so that potato is going to get hotter. and we will be followin: going to get hotter. and we will be following it. _ going to get hotter. and we will be following it, thank _ going to get hotter. and we will be following it, thank you _ going to get hotter. and we will be following it, thank you so - going to get hotter. and we will be following it, thank you so much, i following it, thank you so much, adam. the un secretary general has warned that the war in ukraine is increasing the risk of a global food shortage and that the conflict could lead to years of mass hunger in poorer countries. 0ur correspondentjoe inwood is in lviv, in the west of ukraine. take us through some of what else he had to say. take us through some of what else he had to sa . ~ , ., take us through some of what else he hadtosa. had to say. well, it is all about food security. _ had to say. well, it is all about food security, really. _ had to say. well, it is all about food security, really. ukraine,| had to say. well, it is all about i food security, really. ukraine, it's a bit of a cliche, i know, but it has always been called the bread of europe. huge amount of agricultural products like wheat come out and flow into the back seat through
6:07 am
ports like mariupol, which our viewers would have heard of many times, and debtor. there are all blockaded, huge amounts of the grain has been requisitioned or destroyed in the fighting. 0ne has been requisitioned or destroyed in the fighting. one of the long—term consequences of this is that planting season is down, it isn't taking place, which is why antonio guterres is talking about a long—term food crisis. we are already seeing it played out, not just in high food prices around the world but in political terms. countries like sri lanka where we have seen huge political instability recently caused by food insecurity. that's what he's talking about, we will see that sort of process as well as in places like east africa, huge spikes in food prices which cannot afford to cope with it. another point was that liza, belarus and russia are huge exporters of fertiliser, so we might see falling exports and falling growth in productivity around the world as
6:08 am
well. celebrity chef and food campaigner jamie oliver has criticised the government's decision to suspend a ban on two—for—one deals, as part of its childhood obesity strategy. the department of health said the plans would be deferred this for a year to assess the impact on families amid the cost of living crisis, but campaigners have accused the government of "playing politics" with children's health. so, we love discounts, the idea of having 50% off or 60% off, brilliant, and we encourage that and we want that of course. but it's the particular mechanics of buy one get one free, the government's own research proves that it makes people spend 20% more, eat more and waste more. and that is totally inappropriate right now more than ever. diana ross, duran duran and sir rod stewart are just some of the names set to perform at a star—studded concert in london, to celebrate the queen's platinum jubilee next month. more than 20,000 people will attend the platinum party at the palace which will feature several stages and 3d projections. simonjones has more details.
6:09 am
it's being billed as a once—in—a—lifetime event to unite the nation. three stages are being set up on buckingham palace for a star—studded tribute to her majesty's unprecedented anniversary. 20 years on from performing at the goldenjubilee concert, queen are back. brian may says after playing the palace roof last time, he's got another surprise in store. thejubilee girl is here, huzzah! it was of course the queen herself who stole the show back then and like in 2002, some of the biggest names in the world of music have come together for this new celebration. # i'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah. sir eltonjohn will record a special performance for the 22,000 guests who will be in front of the palace. 10,000 of the tickets were allocated in a public ballot, another 7500 have been given to key
6:10 am
workers, members of the armed members of the armed forces, volunteers and charities. nile rodgers will play some of his biggest hits. also on the bill, duran duran and mabel, and diana ross, her first uk live performance in 15 years. # get in the middle of a chain reaction. sir rod stewart says it will be a momentous occasion, to show how lucky the world is to have the queen. # i'm up in space, man. and fresh from his success in eurovision, sam ryder will hope to put on another out of this world performance for royal approval. and there will be stars from the stage and screen as well should with sir david attenborough making an appearance. here in central london, they have been putting up even more flags overnight as the countdown to the celebrations continues. there will be events
6:11 am
right across the country, and the palace will certainly be hoping they will put a smile on the face of the nation after a difficult couple of years in the pandemic. more than 2800 platinum jubilee beacons will be lit across the globe, like these ones that marked the queen's 90th birthday. beacons will blaze for the first time in all the capital cities of the commonwealth, 5a in total. the organisers say the queen has lit up the nation for 70 years, and it's only fitting that we do the same for her. a sentiment sure to be echoed at the platinum party at the palace which will be broadcast across the bbc on saturday 4thjune. simon jones, bbc news. the highly anticipated top gun sequel, maverick, premiered at the cannes film festival last night, 36 years on from the originalfilm.

6:14 am
to the same month in 2019. spending on airlines was nearly 10% lower last month, compared to the april before the pandemic. that suggests things aren't back to normal yet. but it was still the best month for the industry since covid—19. around 46% of people are currently planning to cut back on holidays and travel. many more of us are intending to stop splurging on clothes and meals out in order to save money. the theory seems to be that holiday—makers who've had to cancel plans two summers in a row are determined to go ahead this year despite the cost—of—living squeeze. i have never seen i have never seen a i have never seen a start to the summer like this one. we have very, very strong demand, families wanting to make up for lost sunshine. and yet we have an industry which is
6:15 am
still well below normal capacity, simply because of resource links and because they have lost so much cash, they would rather cater —— keep a lid on supply so they can keep prices high. the travel firm tui has warned there will be "practically no last—minute offers" on low—price deals this year. that's because of super high demand. the company is reportedly at 85% of pre—pandemic booking levels. it's the same message from lots of other industry voices. simon calder told us the difference in cost between school holiday flights and those in off—season was worse than ever. he's found flights to italy next week for 2h pounds, for a round trip. in the school holidays? the same flights cost £500. that's a 2,500 percent increase. if the cost doesn't put people off with the high cost of living right now
6:16 am
then things like airport security queues and delays in getting your passport renewed might do. there's been a lot of negative headlines on these issues recently. staffing has been blamed for both. british airways and easyjet are still cancelling lots of flights a day with notice. that's due to difficulties getting hold of workers and keeping them in post. these are simon calder�*s top tips if you are jetting off for the first time in a long time. if you haven't travelled abroad since 2019, you could be in for a bit of a shock. first thing to do, make sure you understand the rules for your destination, both in terms of covid and also after brexit, passport validity. next, turn up good and early at the airport. you never know how much they queue for security is going to be. and of course in your destination, you need to be prepared for all kinds of covid restrictions are still in force across large parts of the
6:17 am
world. we're going to be speaking to the boss of easyjet about all of these issues at quarter to eight this morning. we'd also love to hear from you: are you still planning a holiday or is it too expensive? are the delays at airports putting you off? do get in touch. i think, you ithink, you know, a i think, you know, a couple of weeks ago, a month ago, iwas i think, you know, a couple of weeks ago, a month ago, i was standing outside manchester airport talking about a drive to recruit more security staff, people working overtime, cancelling their own holidays. we overtime, cancelling their own holida s. ~ ., ~ overtime, cancelling their own holida s. ~ . ~ ., holidays. we were talking about the cueues. holidays. we were talking about the queues- we — holidays. we were talking about the queues. we will— holidays. we were talking about the queues. we will hear _ holidays. we were talking about the queues. we will hear from - holidays. we were talking about the queues. we will hear from easyjet l queues. we will hear from easyjet what they think _ queues. we will hear from easyjet what they think about _ queues. we will hear from easyjet what they think about it _ queues. we will hear from easyjet what they think about it because l queues. we will hear from easyjet| what they think about it because it is beyond their control. i5 what they think about it because it is beyond their control.— is beyond their control. is easyjet the liner that _ is beyond their control. is easyjet the liner that has _ is beyond their control. is easyjet the liner that has taken _ is beyond their control. is easyjet the liner that has taken seats - is beyond their control. is easyjet the liner that has taken seats out| the liner that has taken seats out so they can have fewer crew on board? , , ., so they can have fewer crew on board? , i. ., ., so they can have fewer crew on board? , , ., . ., ., so they can have fewer crew on board? , i. ., ., ., ., so they can have fewer crew on board? , ., ., ., ., ., board? yes, you have got to have a certain amount _ board? yes, you have got to have a certain amount of _ board? yes, you have got to have a certain amount of cabin _ board? yes, you have got to have a certain amount of cabin crew- board? yes, you have got to have a certain amount of cabin crew pet i certain amount of cabin crew pet passengers, so they have taken out some seats which means they can have one less member of cabin crew, so they can operate more flights and

6:19 am
focus today, brightening up for many, sunny spells and most places will be dry and warm. we still have cloud across south—east and east anglia, one or two showers first thing, sunshine across england and wales, hazy in places as cloud trips north. more sunshine into the afternoon and will feel pleasantly warm again. 22 degrees, 23 towards the south—east. this evening and overnight should be largely dry, a better night of sleeping after the storms. we will see some rain later on, which is six or seven at the lowest. friday morning, a complete different day, some brightness in the north and east of the country but outbreaks of rain across the south and east of england will push through that the skies will brighten
6:20 am
up, more cloud around generally. showers will get going becoming heavy and thundery, mainly to the north and west. it will feel fresher tomorrow, but still with temperatures higher than we would expect at this stage in may. back to you both. this sunday marks five years since the manchester arena attack, which killed 22 people and left many more with life changing injuries. martin hibbert and his daughter eve were the closest people to the bomber to survive and he was left paralysed. we've been following his story as martin prepares to climb mount kilamanjaro and this week he's been to meet some of the medical staff at salford royal hospital who helped save his life. breakfast�*s john maguire reports. five years ago, martin hibbert experienced the worst followed by the best of humanity. how are you feeling? really good, thank you. you look fantastic. thank you, you do too, as always.
6:21 am
really good, thank you. standing with his daughter eve just metres from the suicide bomber at manchester arena, they both sustained horrific injuries. but both survived. martin was brought here to salford royal hospital. you will have come up from the lifts at the end, so from a&e, you would have come up from the lifts at the end and you would have been in one of two pods. he is meeting up with some of the staff who cared for him on the night and in the following weeks, when bonds for life are formed. we don't get to see often some patients at the end of their journey, we follow them through, we follow them with after—care and things, but actually coming back and hearing how well they're doing and seeing everything he's doing in the news, and that he is taking on new challenges, you know, it's lovely. he was a good patient but he was a pain in the bum some days. he wanted this, that and the other. expensive aftershave, i said, where do you think you are? you're in hospital, not the lowry. anyway, oh, he was lovely,
6:22 am
and then he got to know us, and then bit by bit, he started doing everything himself. he was a great patient. there is great affection and admiration, notjust for the nhs staff but also in return for the patient. and his latest endeavour, to reach the peak of mount kilimanjaro, almost 20,000 feet high. absolutely barking mad, no way. he'll do it. yeah, he'll do it, no doubt about it, but, yeah. since the bombing, martin has also stayed in touch with his neurosurgeon, mr saxena, who removed shrapnel from his body and spine. what is interesting as i went through the notes yesterday, last night, and we actually had a 45 minute conversation before your surgery. really? which you didn't remember. because obviously you were under so much heavy doses of painkiller medication. because of all the bolts and things. i know i was awake and talking and things, but obviously i don't remember that.
6:23 am
for me, it was like three weeks later, to be told, you are alive but you're paralysed, it's like, well, i'll take it, you know. people can't get their head around it but that, to me, i'm just so happy to be alive and if this is it, that's fine, i'll take it. because there's 22 families who weren't so lucky. but again, if it wasn't for you and the team here, then i wouldn't even be sitting here. you know, so there is that as well. this is a very special place for me to come. i always feel, not at home, i suppose at home is the wrong word but i feel that i know something serious happened here and if it weren't for you and the team, i probably wouldn't have survived. during the conversation, martin hears for the first time just how close he came to dying. we looked at the injuries you had sustained all the way from top to bottom, and there was, you know, a reasonable chance that you might not make it. especially given the injuries to your neck and the blood vessels in your neck. it was quite a horrible thing to see
6:24 am
a patient who was communicating to us well enough to, you know, talk to us sensibly and things like that, and still you are thinking, oh, my gosh, is he going to have a stroke? is he going to have significant brain damage? and if that is the case, how will we deal with the other injuries? so thankfully, all the efforts of the intensive care, we managed to keep everything in place to make you well enough to have surgery. so many lives were changed forever that night. ankur tells martin he tries to avoid the part of manchester where the bombing took place. for my professional career, that was the most difficult week. and we talk about this phenomenon of secondary victims. i tried to avoid the ring road which passes through victoria. if i can avoid it i will. yeah, wow. for five years. i just don't want to see that place.
6:25 am
been having a holiday, coming straight here today. he's also forged a friendship with paul harvey, the paramedic who realised martin needed to be treated at a trauma unit. obviously, we didn't know to what extent your injuries were, and how specific they were, but my impression at that time, even the few minutes were spent with you, is, he is seriously injured, he is very poorly, i think we should go to the nearest a&e which was here and it would have been a big difference in the time it took us to get here. and fortunately, they agreed with that and we brought you here and the rest is pleasant history, shall we say. yeah, definitely. paul cannot make the kilimanjaro trip. i can't be there, but that's my big sign of support. a constant reminder of the friend who he calls an inspiration. i mean, the fact that you decided to do it didn't surprise me at all. because even though i only knew you that short time before you made the decision, itjust didn't surprise me.
6:26 am
you know, if it had been a bit cheaper, you might have gone to the moon as well. well, you never know! speak to elon. the following day we catch up with martin at home with his beloved dog alfie. vets diagnosed him with separation anxiety and he lost a lot of weight as his owner spent months away recovering. now they are inseparable. since yesterday's visit to salford royal, martin has had a chance to reflect. seeing mr saxena and it's the first time i've ever heard him say it, he said "i was stood at the side of you talking to you, thinking at the back of my mind, this guy might not survive". that's the first time i've ever heard him say that. so that kind of hit home, just how, i know it was serious but to hear it from him, you know, it kind of, i was a bit quiet for the rest of the day after that. i was thinking about it on the way home and, yeah, for somebody like him, if he was thinking that, that's serious. his wife gaby prefers to stay
6:27 am
away from the hospital. that's how she deals with the trauma of those days spent not knowing if her husband would live or die. but she too experienced incredible professionalism and compassion from the staff. in the first few days, i had a panic attack, which i had never, ever had before. i didn't know how to deal with it, and it was that pure, just, emotion building up and ijust felt like i didn't know whether i wanted to be sick or run out of the door. i just couldn't cope with it. and one of the nurses who was looking after you sat with me and just talked me through it. and was just the calmest person ever. and knew exactly what was happening to me. i was panicking because it had never happened to me before because but then you feel bad because you think, you're spending your time helping me when it should be martin that you're helping. 0bviously she was as well but he has.
6:28 am
he is nowjust two weeks away from what could normally be the challenge of a lifetime, but martin has already overcome much, much worse. the kindness of so many strangers, the devotion of his family and friends, and martin's indomitable spirit has brought him so far but, he says, there is further to go. john maguire, bbc news, salford. well, firstly, thank you to everyone who spoke to us and john maguire there. about martin's story, and good luck, martin. no doubt we will follow that. and so interesting, his wife talking about the panic attacks, to the dog having separation anxiety, while martin was in recovery, martin hearing he was so close to not making it with that surgeon, there was a lot there. he is an surgeon, there was a lot there. he: is an amazing young man, and i think
6:29 am
what! is an amazing young man, and i think what i realised, we have met him once or twice, he does have the spirit about him that leaps out and you could tell the impact he has had on all those people involved in his care as well who all support him. we will be seeing more of him throughout the morning this morning, catching up with him a little later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i am frankie maccallum lee. 12 new community panels will review and monitor the met police force. they are called police and counter panels and will be co—chaired by community figures and police commanders. the panels will have an —— access to body war footage and written statements. it's part of the plan to rebuild trust with londoners. meet nicola bennett, a londoner, and the

shower in the south—east but they were clear to sunny spells and temperatures getting up to 23 celsius, but it should stay dry through the afternoon. 0vernight after summer evening sunshine, clear spells to start but gradually ploughed moving in and with that cloud we might get a few spots of rain. —— cloud. we might get some rain. —— cloud. we might get some rain but only the odd spot or two but with temperatures between nine and 12. tomorrow, a largely cloudy start and we will see heavy bursts of rain through the morning and sunny spells developing but then potentially showers in the afternoon as well and it stays unsettled through the weekend but temperatures are a little bit fresher, the high teens and low 20s. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. 36 years after tom cruise took to the skies as pete "maverick" mitchell — top gun the sequal premieres tonight.

we'll catch up with miles teller, who plays goosejunior. # that's the look, that's the look. # the look of love... martin fry from 80s band abcjoins us on the sofa as he prepares to go on tour with the southbank sinfonia 0rchestra. 100,000 shoppers are calling for supermarkets to "stop replacing people with machines" and reduce the number of self—service checkouts. we'd love to know what you think — how does the phrase �*unexpected item in the bagging area' make you feel? we'll share some of your commentsjust after 9. two more cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the south east of england, bringing the total number
6:34 am
of infections in the uk to nine. monkeypox is similar to chicken pox, and has symptoms including a rash, fever, headaches and swollen lymph nodes. the disease is usually associated with travel to west africa but health authorities believe the current cases have spread within the community. the largest known outbreak of the disease occurred in nigeria in 2017 when there were 175 suspected cases, the vast majority in men aged between 21 and a0. we're joined now by one of our regular gps, dr sarahjarvis. good morning to you. what more can you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, _ you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, as _ you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, as you _ you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, as you say _ you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, as you say and - you tell us about monkeypox? it is a viral infection, as you say and it i viral infection, as you say and it often _ viral infection, as you say and it often looks— viral infection, as you say and it often looks like chickenpox. the rush _ often looks like chickenpox. the rush often — often looks like chickenpox. the rush often starts on your face and spreads— rush often starts on your face and spreads to rush often starts on your face and spreads to other rush often starts on your face and spreads to other bits rush often starts on your face and spreads to other bits of rush often starts on your face and spreads to other bits of your rush often starts on your face and spreads to other bits of your body including — spreads to other bits of your body including your genitals and it can look blissfully like chickenpox or sometimes you can get ulcers, the sort you _

sometimes you can get ulcers, the sort you might see in syphilis. it sort you might see in syphilis. [it is not sort you might see in syphilis. it is not syphilis, i hasten to add but it can look like that, so painless ulcers but they may be itchy and then finally they form a scab and they form off —— fall off and scab over as with chickenpox or shingles. people tend to get better within the course of a few weeks and there are two different varieties of monkeypox, more severe one than the one you describe which is west african but the more intense one comes from the congo and we think this is the west african variety so most people will get better. $5 it most people will get better. as it is a virus. — most people will get better. as it is a virus, how— most people will get better. as it is a virus, how is _ most people will get better. as it is a virus, how is it _ most people will get better. as it is a virus, how is it transmitted? this one is transmitted by large respiratory droplets. if you remember at the beginning of the pandemic we were talking about face coverings won't make a lot of difference because you need to be face—to—face with someone for some time and those droplets are big and don't spread far but because these droplets need to be fairly large you have to be in face—to—face or close contact with somebody for quite some

6:44 am
stephen mclaughlin put the ball beyond goalkeeper liam roberts to put mansfield 1—0 ahead in the second leg. they will face port vale or swindon, who play tonight. it was estimated that this could have been rangers most lucrative match in history when you consider that the rewards potentially on offer having won here last night and it would have meant automatic qualification to next season's champions league and all the money it brings with it. that will be a disappointment, as it will be for the fans, because we know getting through to a major european final doesn't happen that often so a special night for the fans and for those players because in a professional career, playing in a game of this side and magnitude does not happen that often and frankfurt and rangers, not the two sides you would have picked to qualify, so it will all add to the disappointment being felt by a lot of those funds back home in glasgow as well this morning. it’s

6:46 am
saw and a lot of tears for those rangers fans at the final whistle as they could not get over the line, but it was a great occasion and certainly the way the rangers fans have enjoyed themselves and in good spirits alongside the frankfurt fans, yes there's been a few incidents, but broadly it passed by without any major incident and i think that is a really pleasing factor because when these games are played, that is what you want to see, both sets of fans enjoying the occasion and celebrating in the manner you hope that a final like this should be.— this should be. john, we will see ou this should be. john, we will see you later- _ this should be. john, we will see you later- we — this should be. john, we will see you later. we are _ this should be. john, we will see you later. we are going - this should be. john, we will see you later. we are going to i this should be. john, we will see you later. we are going to take i this should be. john, we will see i you later. we are going to take you to recent you later. we are going to take you to regent street. _ you later. we are going to take you to regent street. look— you later. we are going to take you to regent street. look at _ you later. we are going to take you to regent street. look at this. i you later. we are going to take you to regent street. look at this. this is the view from new broadcasting house where the bbc is based in london and overnight all of this bunting was put up and it is to mark, of course, the queen'sjubilee at the start of next month and we are going to talk to the ceo of the

6:54 am
to hit a bullet with a bullet. that was just talking about how precise we would need to be and how small the target was to be able to make a film that worked as a sequel, 30 something years later. you know, you want to pay homage to the original but you can't be winking too much. people don't want that too much. do you ever wink at people? i'm not sure about that. trust your instincts. don't think. just do. you think up there, you are dead. believe me. my dad believed in you. i'm not going to make the same mistake. . i want to know about working with tom cruise, because the man is a legend. absolutely. well deserved. and all of us mere mortals can see from a distance and the obvious question is, what is it like when you meet him, and then you are working with him. the amount of respect that i have for him, and he is, he's just very disarming as well when you meet him. and with tom it is all about making the movie. and if you're going to be
6:55 am
a part of this with him, he brings you in and you are truly like his teamatee. he is not the type of actor to show up, do you stop and go back to his trailer. that is not his thing. he's incredibly dedicated to making a film and if you get to work with him, you get a masterclass in so many different aspects of it. including flying planes. you know, i was telling the producers and i was saying, i don't want to be tom. let tom do... i am a land actor. i don't need to go up in the air. what the hell? good morning, aviators. this is your captain speaking. the obvious question, and i know this has been talked about quite a bit, as you are injets and the forces and everything that's going on. the g forces. you know your stuff. how was the stomach? i felt like i was going to throw up every time we got up there. so you are wearing a g suit,
6:56 am
you are basically trying to keep all of the blood pumping from your heart to your brain so you don't pass out. that carries oxygen, which is important. so the suit constricts, so it's a little tight and it's keeping the blood really pumping up top and then there was a part of the g suit that would go around your stomach, which i hated. like a cummerbund. like a cummerbund that inflates on your diaphragm, but as far as kind of getting sick, which i think you are also alluding to, that was a real problem for a lot of people. you are here the request of admiral kazanski, aka iceman. i want to ask you about val kilmer as he is in this film as he was in the original and he has not been well for some time now. there are some people, i think, that are aware of val and what he has been dealing with in the last couple of years. there are a good couple
6:57 am
of people who are not. i should explain, he has throat cancer and some people are not aware of it. because he really has been in film for a little while. certainly has been more selective. you seem to take a lot of things very much in your stride, and sometimes people don't and you are getting a lot of stuff at the moment. what is that? where does it all come from? i grew up in a boisterous household with a lot of strong women from newjersey, so it was a bit of a circus may be growing up, so i'm not fazed by too much of the other stuff. it's been lovely chatting to you, respect to the shirt. it's made me feel distinctly underdressed. in respect to you. don't do this. can you go down? two different types of laces. that's how we do it. different colours laces. i thought we agreed that some things were off limits. i thought we agreed that. thank you. that was so fun, man.

6:59 am
a londoner and the only black female professional golfer in the uk. she says she's on a mission to inspire others like her into the game. she's going to schools as well as running affordable sessions for women. she says that golf should be a game for everyone. i feel highly privileged that i'm in a position where i can inspire young girls and women to play the game. when you're in an environment where you see people like yourself, naturally you feel more comfortable and i think one of the biggest reasons why there is such a barrier to there being more diverse people in the game is that it's not exposed. the rock band queen and adam lambert will open this year's party at the palace as part ofjubilee celebrations to mark the queen's 70 years on the throne. it comes 20 years after guitarist brian may performed god save the queen on the roof of buckingham palace during the golden jubilee.
7:00 am
other artists include eltonjohn, craig david and diana ross. onto travel and if you're communting this morning this is how tfl services are looking right now. severe delays on the central and metropolitan line and minor delays on the circle line. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's been a very lively night, full of thunderstorms, lightning strikes, thousands recorded. this is from our weather watcher in peckham. another one out in watford. and also, pinner. some heavy rainfall recorded in quite a short space of time as these thunderstorms tracked across us through the night. you can see from the radarfrom earlier. they are clearing through this morning, most places starting off dry, misty and murky, might get a shower from the south—east but they will clear to sunny spells. temperatures today getting up to a warm 23 celsius but it should stay dry through the afternoon. overnight tonight after some evening sunshine, less dull to start with but gradually cloud moving
7:01 am
in and with that cloud we might get a few spots of rain, nothing like last night but still the odd spot or two. minimum temperature between nine and 12 celsius, still quite mild. tomorrow a largely cloudy start, some heavy spells of rain and then some showers through the afternoon as well. it stays unsettled through the weekend but temperatures a little bit fresher, high teens, low 20s. before we go, we want to know how you are celebrating the platinum jubilee? have you got something special organised? maybe you would like to invite bbc london along. or have you met the royals and have a story you would like to share? get in touch by emailing us using the address on the screen. that's it from me, i'll be back in half an hour.
7:02 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a warning from the chancellor that households face a tough few months with the cost of living crisis. rishi sunak is under pressure to take more action, but he says he's ready to help. the next few months will be tough but where we can act we will. aaron ramsey pays the penalty, on a bitter night for rangers here in seville. ramsay denied. it is advantage eintracht frankfurt. they lose the europa league final to german side eintracht frankfurt. the line—up for the queen's platinum jubilee concert has been revealed and it includes soul legend diana ross. will the cost—of—living put paid to the summer holiday? very few bargains on offer, passport
7:03 am
problems and airport queues. i'll look at what impact all this could have on the travel industry, plus i'll be speaking to the boss of easyjet. lam iamat i am at gatton park in surrey where we saw some pretty nasty storms last night, as we did across other parts of england. they claim through today, sunny spells and warm once again. —— they will clear through today. it's thursday 19th may. the next few months will be tough. that's the warning from the chancellor rishi sunak in his latest comments on the cost of living crisis. speaking to business leaders last night he said the government is "ready to do more" to help the most vulnerable. but he's facing renewed pressure to take immediate action. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thank you. high and getting higher. prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting
7:04 am
more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come for households struggling with soaring bills. he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for a0 years. and looking back, figures show that when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government about what to do and when to ease the rising cost of living. opposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed.
7:05 am
during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning, adam. isuppose good morning, adam. i suppose people are looking very carefully at what rishi sunak said, but also what he didn't say. rishi sunak said, but also what he didn't sa . . . rishi sunak said, but also what he didn'tsa. , , ,, . rishi sunak said, but also what he didn'tsa. , . ., didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders _ didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders so _ didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders so a _ didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders so a lot _ didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders so a lot of- didn't say. yes, this speech was to business leaders so a lot of the - business leaders so a lot of the focus of what rishi sunak was saying was on them, talking about having
7:06 am
tax cuts in the near future for businesses that invest in staff and in people, and in things that they invent. so that's how he would like to deal with this problem in the medium to long term, which is to just grow the economy, make it more productive. and more business friendly. but he had to talk about cost of living because his dominating everybody�*s conversations at the moment. the main message is that things are going to get tough and remain tough for a few months, this is not going to be over quickly. he also said that the government was prepared to evolve its thinking as the situation evolved, which is quite a far cry from a few months ago when treasury officials were saying, we will help people with energy bills and council tax rebate in april and then —— more cash from their bills in october and that should say as to it. they have moved on in a big way. he dropped a big hint about what future support could look like, it is important to help the most vulnerable, he said, which suggests he is looking at boosting existing things like the
7:07 am
winter fuel payment, may something around universal credit, rather than tax cuts across the board for everybody which will disappoint some of his colleagues in the cabinet because they would quite like tax cuts across the board for everybody. what he did not mention at all, the words did not cross his lips, windfall tax, the idea that you tax the excess profits of the oil and gas companies who are making a lot of money at the moment. the government is still sticking to its holding position, something that they do not want to do but they will think about doing if it is necessary. the problem the government has got from a communications point of view is ministers are choosing which half of that sentence they like best which gives the appearance of a bit of a row or a debate going on in government about to do when lots of people are calling for something to be done now. the impact of the war in ukraine is being felt around the world, with the un secretary general warning it could lead to years of mass hunger in poorer countries, and increase the risk
7:08 am
of a global food shortage. the crisis has sent food prices soaring and the un has warned that the world could face famines lasting for years. azadeh moshiri reports. realising the war in his country is unlikely to end any time soon, president zelensky has asked ukraine's lawmakers to extend martial law for another 90 days. translation: how long will this last? l only the actual situation on the battlefield will give the answer to this question. but the effects of this extended battle are being felt around the world. with the un secretary general warning it is threatening a global food shortage unless russia releases grain stored in ukrainian ports. it threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity, followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, and the crisis would last for years. so i ask president putin, if you have any heart at all, please, open these ports.
7:09 am
together, russia and ukraine produce 30% of the world's wheat supply, 20% of its corn, and 80% of its sunflower oil. that's why ukraine was often referred to as the world's bread basket. and because of the war, the un says global food prices are almost 30% higher than the same time last year. so leaders are laying the blame firmly at russia's feet. russia has launched a grain war, stoking a globalfood crisis. us secretary of state antony blinken echoed those thoughts, calling it russia's war of choice. but in the meantime, the un secretary general has said he is in intense talks to create food corridors. he warned that until then, the world's poorest nations will suffer. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. the canadian assembly of first nations has called
7:10 am
for the queen to formally apologise on behalf of the crown and the church, over the historical mistreatment of indigenous peoples. the request was made to prince charles during the second day of his and camilla's three—dayjubilee tour. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports from the capital ottawa. oh, it's prince charles, right there! the royal visitors at this outdoor market caused quite the stir. oh, my gosh! for some, it was a little overwhelming. a little bit nervous and very excited. she's not wearing a hat. business is onlyjust picking up at this market. your royal highness. thank you for coming. the famous beaver tails! tourism effectively stopped during the pandemic. so a bit of publicity, courtesy of prince charles and camilla, was very much welcome here. not a lot of people know
7:11 am
that the market is actually open and running now. so, yes. i guess now they do. yes, exactly, definitely, they definitely do now, that's for sure! canada is home to the third largest population of ukrainians in the world. showing the community solidarity and support was something the couple wanted to do. they stayed far longer than was scheduled, their visit appreciated. we are sincerely grateful to the royal family, to her majesty queen elizabeth, and to you personally, for your help and support for ukraine. at the national war memorial, sacrifice and service were honoured. a local school and camilla shared her love of books. and the prince, along with prime minister trudeau, joined a roundtable discussion focusing on one of his favourite subjects, sustainable finance.
7:12 am
and no visit to canada would be complete without watching the mounties in action. there is no doubt this will have been a treat for the royal couple. they will have carried out 11 engagements in total today, the idea being that while they are here, they see and meet as many people as possible. at the end of a long day, an evening reception to mark the queen's platinum jubilee. as a nation, canadians are trying to work out how best to reconcile with the treatment of their indigenous peoples. what would help the healing process, the prince was told, was an apology from the head of state, the queen. it would be a real missed opportunity if he doesn't acknowledge that an apology is needed to first nations in canada. and i did feel a great deal of empathy from the prince. certainly, he had a level of understanding that i appreciated. so i am hopeful that he does issue some kind of statement along those lines that an apology is coming.
7:13 am
and the prince will have further opportunities to listen and engage with indigenous peoples before returning to the uk on friday. sarah campbell, bbc news, ottawa. it is 13 minutes past seven. matt is at gatton park in surrey with the weather for us this morning. there some lovely views around there, fitting with the weather, maybe? it will get better! beautiful surroundings here at gatton park, the surroundings of the parkland was designed by the famous landscape designer, capability brown. they said he did for the english landscape what shakespeare did for the english language. a tree there is down, that was from the storms recently but no impact from last night's storms. let's have a look at
7:14 am
the forecast, those thunderstorms have cleared out of the way, a few showers around this morning but many places will have a dry day with some sunny spells. cloud across the south—east and east anglia, there could be the odd shower from that through the coming hours but brightening up here. high cloud across the rest of england and wales this morning, hazy sunshine and disguise turning bluer into the afternoon, sunny spells in northern ireland and scotland after the mist and fog patches have cleared, small chance of a shower. 23 degrees and the south—east. this evening and overnight, most places will be dry but later in the night some cloud will gather towards the south—west of the country bringing in a little bit more in the way of rain. it shouldn't be too chilly, no lower than six or seven. tomorrow, friday, a different sort of a day. some morning sunshine for parts of scotland and north of england but
7:15 am
the south—east england, some heavy rain to take us through the rush hour, that clear through, plenty of cloud elsewhere, sunny spells, a few showers developing everywhere and they will sweep into the north and west where they could be heavy. i breezed tomorrow, fresher day, temperatures in the mid to high teens. more details and that we forecast around half an hour. —— the weekend forecast. the royal college of psychiatrists say too many young people are dying of eating disorders when they could have been treated earlier. hospitaladmissions for earlier. hospital admissions for eating earlier. hospitaladmissions for eating disorders have risen 84% in the last five years in england. james downes developed anorexia when he was 15, but it was nearly seven years before he saw an eating disorder specialist because there were none where he lived in south wales.
7:16 am
after i was first diagnosed, i wasjust being patched up in a&e, mental health services, and then sent back to my day—to—day life struggling. and by the time i did get treatment, i was much, much harder to treat and it was so much harder to start to change. new figures show almost 25,000 people needed hospital treatment for an eating disorder in england in the first year of the pandemic, up from 13,000 five years ago, with the sharpest rise in children and young people. the vast majority of those affected are women, but the number of young men admitted to hospital has more than doubled in that time. the royal college of psychiatrists has now published new guidance to help doctors spot cases earlier. as a child, debbie howard was a gymnast training for the commonwealth games. it took her more than a decade to ask for help with anorexia. she now runs her own eating disorder charity. there is still a massive misconception about eating
7:17 am
disorders, actually eating disorders, they have got the highest death rate of all psychiatric illnesses. they are very, very serious and very complex mental health disorders. the government says extra funding will pay for at least another 2,000 young people in england to access eating disorder support. jim reed, bbc news. we're joined now by psychiatrist, professor sandeep ranote from the eating disorder charity, beat, and also by campaigner hope virgo. you are both very welcome. you said yourself during that report, i could talk about this for days, in a slightly wistful way. this is such an important cause, isn't it? and still not dealt with well enough, by medical professionals? ihlat still not dealt with well enough, by medical professionals?— medical professionals? not 'ust medical professionals? not 'ust medical professionals, �* medical professionals? not 'ust medical professionals, by h medical professionals? notjust medical professionals, by all. medical professionals? notjust medical professionals, by all of| medical professionals? notjust . medical professionals, by all of us. so, yes, i could talk about it for days, i think it is great you are

7:34 am
fans last night and it was frankfurt's night. the first german team to win the europa league. this was the story of the game and they could not be separated in the first half, goalless untiljoe aribo broke the deadlock. incredible scenes amongst the rangers supporters. but the german side who had knocked out barcelona and west ham en route to the final responded. borre got the equaliser in the second half, level and full time and they could not be split after extra time, so it went to penalties and eventually heartbreak for the rangers supporters. the crucial kick missed by the substitute, aaron ramsey. borre who scored earlier stepped up to score the winning penalty and it finished 5—4 on penalties giving them their first european trophy in over a0 years. these were the thoughts of the rangers manager after. of course, a big
7:35 am
disappointment. if you play a final in europe and you lose, it will hurt. because you play a final, you will do everything you can to win it and in the end with the penalties, you know, it's a lottery and tonight we were not on the good side, but i cannot complain with everything that my players gave today and also the games before. it is my players gave today and also the games before-— games before. it is a lottery and there were _ games before. it is a lottery and there were some _ games before. it is a lottery and there were some 10,000 - games before. it is a lottery and l there were some 10,000 rangers games before. it is a lottery and i there were some 10,000 rangers fans inside the stadium and it looked like there were many more and they outnumbered the frankfurt supporters, about 10,000 frankfurt fans, and many more here watching in another stadium, around 100,000 rangers fans in the city to see their team get over the line but plenty more watching back home in glasgow as well and around the world and these were their thoughts after the performance. i’m

night before and there is the financial disappointment when you consider that the match had been labelled the most lucrative in the club's history with the financial rewards that would have come their way had they qualified for the champions league by winning this match last night and there is the obvious disappointment as well but it will still go down as a memorable night for those fans who were here to watch their team in the european final. i am trying to look for a small upside and i'm looking at the weather and even now in the early hours it looks beautiful there. it is. we are lucky to have a lovely balcony position here for the last couple of days and what is it here this morning, about half past six in the morning and it is beautiful. lovely warm temperature and you think, what a lovely setting, i'll be lucky to be here.— be lucky to be here. very lucky indeed. who _ be lucky to be here. very lucky indeed. who do _ be lucky to be here. very lucky indeed. who do you _

7:42 am
to an inch of rain in the space of a few hours with lots of hail to go with it. it did make for a disturbed night sleep across the south and east and tonight you should hopefully sleep a bit better. the weather has quietened down. there is still some rain at the moment and it's linked to the weather system and it will be a day that gets better with more sunshine developing and there will be warmth with that and there will be warmth with that and just one or two showers later on. the rain we have at the moment is linked to the weather from pushing its way through parts of the uk during the latter stages of yesterday. it moves through the east and then we have another weather system working into the west so things will quietened down in between this morning across england and wales, plenty of cloud around and wales, plenty of cloud around and the heaviest rain is east anglia and the heaviest rain is east anglia and the heaviest rain is east anglia and the south—east working north and east and then good sunny spells develop in the afternoon and always that bit brighter for scotland and northern ireland and the chance of the show is only a small one as we go through the day. temperatures
7:43 am
between 19 and 20 degrees in the north—east of scotland i may be 23 towards the south—east of england as we see things brighten up later. it will be a better night to get sleep in and later on we will see rain pushing into the south—west of england with a few mist and fog patches and will be around 16 degrees in the morning. friday will be a different day and quickly towards the south of england we see rain developing quite quickly and that will be a morning feature and it brightens up in the afternoon and in the north and west of the country we will see sunny spells but lots of cloud develops and a good scattering of showers developing they could be on the heavy side so most of us will see rain at some point tomorrow. more of a breeze and it will feel fresher, but still nice enough when the sunshine comes out and it should be sunshine to begin with and lounge

amounts of cloud on saturday in the north and west of the country and across scotland and northern ireland you are most likely to see a shower and temperatures in the mid to high teens and higher than it should be this stage in may and sunday a bit warmer and some sunshine at times but one or two showers still possible. that is how the weather is looking from a rather soggy gatton park and now back to salford. thanks. stay dry. well, he's not auoin thanks. stay dry. well, he's not going to. _ thanks. stay dry. well, he's not going to. you — thanks. stay dry. well, he's not going to, you see? _ thanks. stay dry. well, he's not going to, you see? just - thanks. stay dry. well, he's not going to, you see? just trying i thanks. stay dry. well, he's not| going to, you see? just trying to thanks. stay dry. well, he's not i going to, you see? just trying to be nice. going to, you see? just trying to be nice- we've — going to, you see? just trying to be nice. we've been _ going to, you see? just trying to be nice. we've been hearing _ going to, you see? just trying to be nice. we've been hearing about- going to, you see? just trying to be| nice. we've been hearing about how lots of holiday companies are keen to see how the year pans out in terms of bookings and many are optimistic that they will come back from the pandemic lower, so we have had results from easyjet and ben has the details now.— the details now. quarantine testing and all of that _ the details now. quarantine testing and all of that has _ the details now. quarantine testing and all of that has proved - the details now. quarantine testing and all of that has proved so i the details now. quarantine testing and all of that has proved so tough |

to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a warning from the chancellor that households face a tough few months with the cost of living crisis. rishi sunak is under pressure to take more action, but he says he's ready to help. the next few months will be tough but where we can act we will. aaron ramsey pays the penalty, on a bitter night for rangers here in seville. ramsey denied! they lose the europa league final to german side eintracht frankfurt in an agonising shoot—out. the line—up for the queen's platinum jubilee concert has been revealed and it includes soul legend diana ross. with household budgets under pressure, will a getaway to the sun be a stretch too far for many families? very few bargains on offer, passport problems and airport queues.
8:02 am
i'll look at what impact all this could have on your plans and the travel industry. good morning, aviators. this is your captain speaking. after 36 years, the wait is over for top gun fans. the uk premiere is tonight, with hopes of taking your breath away. and never mind the danger zone, we were in the thunder zone last night across much of england. the storms have cleared, a few spots of rain and here at gatton park and across the country we will see some sunny spells and wanted this afternoon. the full forecast is coming up later. —— and warmth this afternoon. it's thursday 19th may. our main story. the next few months will be tough. that's the warning from the chancellor rishi sunak in his latest comments on the cost of living crisis. speaking to business leaders last night he said the government is "ready to do more" to help the most vulnerable. but he's facing renewed pressure to take more action immediately.
8:03 am
our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thank you. high and getting higher. prices are rising faster than they have for decades. and we don't need inflation figures to tell us that. the rate at which goods are getting more expensive will be a worry for the chancellor, who last night warned of harder times ahead. there is no measure that any government could take, no law we could pass that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. more than a hint of help to come for households struggling with soaring bills. he also said he would cut taxes on businesses to encourage them to invest. inflation this high, now at 9%, has not been seen in the uk for 40 years. and looking back, figures show that
8:04 am
when it rises to such a level, it can take years and not months as currently forecast to come down again. debate is raging in government about what to do and when to ease the rising cost of living. opposition parties and some conservatives say action is urgently needed. during the pandemic we saw an emergency response and i think the emergency is different now. but it still requires emergency response. a lot more needs to be done, a lot more needs to be done. that's why we absolutely need a windfall tax sooner rather than later. the oil companies have made £40 billion of profit. with no letup in sight for families feeling the effects of economic shocks from covid and the war in ukraine, the government is still weighing its options. but under increasing pressure to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming.
8:05 am
good morning. there is pressure, the question is, what more will he do in the near term?— the near term? quite a lot of the chancellor's _ the near term? quite a lot of the chancellor's speech _ the near term? quite a lot of the chancellor's speech last - the near term? quite a lot of the chancellor's speech last night - the near term? quite a lot of the | chancellor's speech last night was aimed at business and he was talking about what he sees as the medium to long term solution, which is businesses invest more in stuff, in their staff, and in stuff that they create. and they got a hint that there would be tax cuts for business in the budget in autumn around that but he had to talk about cost of living because it is what everyone is talking about and feeling at the moment. he gave quite a grim warning about the next few months being tough, this is not going to be over quickly. he talked about how the government's position will evolve as the situation evolves which is a far cry from a few months ago when treasury officials said, we have done all we need to do with energy bills and the council tax rebate in april and a sort of rebate in autumn, they are prepared to do more and they are looking at options now. and they also gave a hint about what
8:06 am
the help might be, saying that it would be targeted at the most vulnerable, saying to me that he is looking at boosting existing schemes which help the least well—off rather than across the board tax cuts for everybody which quite a few conservatives would like. the words windfall tax did not cross his lips, the idea that you add an extra tax on the oil and gas companies for making big profits because of the high oil and gas prices. there is a big debate going on in government about that but the government at the moment, their official position is that they do not do that, but they are looking at doing it if it is neededin are looking at doing it if it is needed in the short to medium term. that is becoming an increasingly difficult line for the government to hold as people's opinions in government and outside government to strengthen on that particular issue. thank you very much, adam. the un secretary general says the war in ukraine is increasing the risk of a global food shortage
8:07 am
and that the conflict could lead to years of mass hunger in poorer countries. our correspondent joe inwood is in lviv, in the west of ukraine. the focus here is very much on ukraine's economy, specifically agriculture and the implications of what is happening there for the rest of the world. what is happening there for the rest of the world-— of the world. yes, absolutely. ukraine is _ of the world. yes, absolutely. ukraine is a _ of the world. yes, absolutely. ukraine is a huge _ of the world. yes, absolutely. ukraine is a huge producer . of the world. yes, absolutely. ukraine is a huge producer of| ukraine is a huge producer of agricultural products, it exports vast amounts of that, a lot of it to the developing world. the world food programme, the un body which help speed the poorest people around the world, they are also big customers. so when that supply of grain and supply of agricultural produce dries up, it's often the poorest people that suffer. we are seeing this already around the world, rising food prices and rising political instability as a consequence. the un secretary general was warning this is a problem which is not going to
8:08 am
last a few days, weeks or months but years, even. why would that be? because we are seeing notjust the failure of exports now but a failure to plant a new season. on some of that russia and belarus are big exporters of vital isa, which is needed —— on top of that, russia and belarus are big exporters of fertiliser, which is needed in the developing world to help them grow crops. and a problem with heatwave in india preventing growth there. antonio guterres says we will see an impact food production causing starvation affecting the poorest people around the world. diana ross, duran duran and sir rod stewart are just some of the stars set to perform at a star—studded concert in london, to celebrate the queen's platinum jubilee next month. more than 20,000 people will attend the 'platinum party at the palace' which will feature several stages and 3d projections. simonjones has more details. it's being billed as

8:12 am
our news correspondent colin paterson joins us now. colin, i mean, it's a bizarre case, we know this is a bizarre thing that is happening. but it has captured the imagination of so many people. and finally, after hearing almost 30 hours of evidence, it is day seven, the end of the trial. it could have all ended at yesterday but the judge decided to give both sides an extra 24 hours to write their closing arguments. where is pointing out, there is nojury, it is the arguments. where is pointing out, there is no jury, it is the church who decides the outcome. —— it is thejudge who decides who decides the outcome. —— it is the judge who decides the outcome. we are not expecting to hear that today, we are expecting to hear a reserved judgment, they will go away, take a couple of weeks to look through the evidence and decide who she thinks the results will be in favour of. expect to be back here in a couple of weeks for that. and

8:14 am
spelt —— said she felt bullied and humiliated. and wayne rooney talked about coleen rooney, saying in the two and a half years since she made that accusatory post had left her struggling, and he had watched her become a different mother and a different wife. thank you very much, colin. this sunday will mark five years since the manchester arena terror attack, which killed 22 people and left many more with life—changing injuries. martin hibbert and his daughter eve were the closest people to the bomber to survive and he was left paralysed. we've been following his story as martin prepares to climb mount kilamanjaro in a wheelchair painted in the colours of his favourite team, manchester united. john maguire is with martin, at the home of manchester united, old
8:15 am
trafford. john, tell us more. yes, naga, charlie, everyone at home, good morning to old trafford, the theatre of dreams. look around you, 76,000 red seats, but we brought a very special red seat here today. the breakfast sofa is here to celebrate the plans and ambition and drive of martin hibbitt who is going to make that attempt on kilimanjaro, this is the club he has supported since he was seven years old. his chair, which he rode up snowdon, wheeled, pushed, pulled up snowdon, will again attempt that summit of kilimanjaro, 20,000 feet, just under. so no mean feat. if there is one guy who has got the determination to do it, he is sitting right here and we will talk to him in a minute. he loves this place. another place is very close to his heart, salford royal hospital, where he was taken on the night of the bombing. a place where
8:16 am
he says his life was saved. we had taken him back for a visit. five years ago, martin hibbert experienced the worst followed by the best of humanity. how are you feeling? really good, thank you. you look fantastic. thank you, you do too, as always. really good, thank you. standing with his daughter eve just metres from the suicide bomber at manchester arena, they both sustained horrific injuries. but both survived. martin was brought here to salford royal hospital. you will have come up from the lifts at the end, so from a&e, you would have come up from the lifts at the end and you would have been in one of two pods. he is meeting up with some of the staff who cared for him on the night and in the following weeks, when bonds for life are formed. we don't get to see often some patients at the end of their journey, we follow them through, we follow them with after—care and things, but actually coming back and hearing how well they're doing and seeing everything he's doing in the news,
8:17 am
and that he is taking on new challenges, you know, it's lovely. he was a good patient but he was a pain in the bum some days. he wanted this, that and the other. expensive aftershave, i said, where do you think you are? you're in hospital, not the lowry. anyway, oh, he was lovely, and then he got to know us, and then hit by bit, he started doing everything himself. he was a great patient. there is great affection and admiration, notjust for the nhs staff but also in return for the patient. and his latest endeavour, to reach the peak of mount kilimanjaro, almost 20,000 feet high. absolutely barking mad, no way. he'll do it. yeah, he'll do it, no doubt about it, but, yeah. since the bombing, martin has also stayed in touch with his neurosurgeon, mr saxena, who removed shrapnel from his body and spine. what is interesting as i went through the notes yesterday, last night, and we actually had a 45 minute conversation before your surgery. really?
8:18 am
which you didn't remember. because obviously you were under so much heavy doses of painkiller medication. because of all the bolts and things. i know i was awake and talking and things, but obviously i don't remember that. for me, it was like three weeks later, to be told, you are alive but you're paralysed, it's like, well, i'll take it, you know. people can't get their head around it but that, to me, i'm just so happy to be alive and if this is it, that's fine, i'll take it. because there's 22 families who weren't so lucky. but again, if it wasn't for you and the team here, then i wouldn't even be sitting here. you know, so there is that as well. this is a very special place for me to come. i always feel, not at home, i suppose at home is the wrong word but i feel that i know something serious happened here and if it weren't for you and the team, i probably wouldn't have survived. during the conversation, martin hears for the first time just how close he came to dying. we looked at the injuries you had
8:19 am
sustained all the way from top to bottom, and there was, you know, a reasonable chance that you might not make it. especially given the injuries to your neck and the blood vessels in your neck. it was quite a horrible thing to see a patient who was communicating to us well enough to, you know, talk to us sensibly and things like that, and still you are thinking, oh, my gosh, is he going to have a stroke? is he going to have significant brain damage? and if that is the case, how will we deal with the other injuries? so thankfully, all the efforts of the intensive care, we managed to keep everything in place to make you well enough to have surgery. so many lives were changed forever that night. ankur tells martin he tries to avoid the part of manchester where the bombing took place. for my professional career, that was the most difficult week. and we talk about this phenomenon of secondary victims.
8:20 am
i tried to avoid the ring road which passes through victoria. if i can avoid it i will. yeah, wow. for five years. i just don't want to see that place. been having a holiday, coming straight here today. he's also forged a friendship with paul harvey, the paramedic who realised martin needed to be treated at a trauma unit. obviously, we didn't know to what extent your injuries were, and how specific they were, but my impression at that time, even the few minutes we spent with you, is, he is seriously injured, he is very poorly, i think we should go to the nearest a&e which was here and it would have been a big difference in the time it took us to get here. and fortunately, they agreed with that and we brought you here and the rest is pleasant history, shall we say. yeah, definitely. paul cannot make the kilimanjaro trip. i can't be there, but that's my big sign of support. a constant reminder of the friend who he calls an inspiration.
8:21 am
i mean, the fact that you decided to do it didn't surprise me at all. because even though i only knew you that short time before you made the decision, itjust didn't surprise me. you know, if it had been a bit cheaper, you might have gone to the moon as well. well, you never know! speak to elon. the following day we catch up with martin at home with his beloved dog alfie. vets diagnosed him with separation anxiety and he lost a lot of weight as his owner spent months away recovering. now they are inseparable. since yesterday's visit to salford royal, martin has had a chance to reflect. seeing mr saxena and it's the first time i've ever heard him say it, he said "i was stood at the side of you talking to you, thinking at the back of my mind, this guy might not survive". that's the first time i've ever heard him say that.
8:22 am
so that kind of hit home, just how, i know it was serious but to hear it from him, you know, it kind of, i was a bit quiet for the rest of the day after that. i was thinking about it on the way home and, yeah, for somebody like him, if he was thinking that, that's serious. his wife gabby prefers to stay away from the hospital. that's how she deals with the trauma of those days spent not knowing if her husband would live or die. but she too experienced incredible professionalism and compassion from the staff. in the first few days, i had a panic attack, which i had never, ever had before. i didn't know how to deal with it, and it was that pure, just, emotion building up and ijust felt like i didn't know whether i wanted to be sick or run out of the door. i just couldn't cope with it. and one of the nurses who was looking after you sat with me and just talked me through it. and was just the calmest person ever. and knew exactly what
8:23 am
was happening to me. i was panicking because it had never happened to me before but then you feel bad because you think, you're spending your time helping me when it should be martin that you're helping. obviously she was as well, but yeah. he is nowjust two weeks away from what could normally be the challenge of a lifetime, but martin has already overcome much, much worse. the kindness of so many strangers, the devotion of his family and friends, and martin's indomitable spirit has brought him so far but, he says, there is further to go. welcome back to old trafford and good morning to martin, good to see you, back in your happy place, you love it here. it’s you, back in your happy place, you love it here-— love it here. it's here, at home, i have been _ love it here. it's here, at home, i have been coming _ love it here. it's here, at home, i have been coming here _ love it here. it's here, at home, i have been coming here since - love it here. it's here, at home, i have been coming here since i i love it here. it's here, at home, i l have been coming here since i was seven, it is my passion. even though there isn't much, i still had

to rebuild trust with londoners. another case of the monkeypox virus has been identified in london. there are still only a handful of cases, but it's signicant enough for the nhs to be thinking ahead to dealing with more. it's a rare disease which originates from central and west africa and spreads through close contact. cases in the uk have gone up to nine — with seven of them being detected in london. meet nicola bennett — a londoner, and the only black female professional golfer in the uk. she says she's on a mission to inspire others like her into the game. she's going to schools as well as running affordable sessions for women. she says that golf should be a game for everyone. i feel highly privileged that i'm in a position where i can inspire young girls and women to play the game. when you're in an environment where you see people like yourself, naturally you feel more comfortable and i think one of the biggest reasons why there is such a barrier to there being more diverse people

in the game is that it's not exposed. onto travel — and if you're communting this morning — this is how tfl services are looking right now. just minor delays on the waterloo and city line to watch out for. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's been a very lively night, full of thunderstorms, lightning strikes, thousands recorded. this is from our weather watcher in peckham. another one out in watford. and also, pinner. some heavy rainfall recorded in quite a short space of time as these thunderstorms tracked across us through the night. you can see from the radarfrom earlier. they are clearing through this morning, most places starting off dry, misty and murky, might get a shower from the south—east but they will clear to sunny spells. temperatures today getting up to a warm 23 celsius but it should stay dry through the afternoon. overnight tonight after some evening sunshine, less dull to start

8:39 am
have done better. rafael borre slid in and they had equalised. extra time did not break the deadlock, so it went to penalties. both looked strong initially, but somebody had to miss. it fell to substitute aaron ramsey. the agony palpable, and thoughts of what might have been. i am just gutted, but a good effort and i'm glad i got to experience it. we were underdogs from the beginning of the season and comparing nine years ago to now. we got heat, but do you know what, we took them to the deadline, to penalties and that is what matters. honestly, my heart hurts. i wanted to see once in my lifetime for rangers to win a _ european trophy. i travel all over the world with them and i will- continue to travel all over the world with them. i i will always love them - and i will always support them. despite the result, rangers's journey here has been impressive. ten years ago the club are placed into administration and then
8:40 am
went into liquidation, so to get to a european final is an astonishing achievement. i know the fans will be hurting now, perhaps, on reflection, they will be proud of their club's progression. jane dougall, bbc news seville. they will indeed. heartbreak for the rangers— they will indeed. heartbreak for the rangers fans and for aaron ramsey who missed that penalty. there were concerns _ who missed that penalty. there were concerns over safety with 150,000 fans descending on the city and there _ fans descending on the city and there were some skirmishes yesterday and a fight _ there were some skirmishes yesterday and a fight broke out in the centre of the _ and a fight broke out in the centre of the town— and a fight broke out in the centre of the town and there were a number of the town and there were a number of arrests. _ of the town and there were a number of arrests, but broadly and passed off without major incident and with rangers— off without major incident and with rangers reaching the final of a major— rangers reaching the final of a major european competition, celtic winning _ major european competition, celtic winning the scottish premiership and we can— winning the scottish premiership and we can still— winning the scottish premiership and we can still see scotland qualifying for the _ we can still see scotland qualifying for the world cup this year so it has put — for the world cup this year so it has put scottish football back in the spotlight again but i think the disappointment will certainly take a few days _ disappointment will certainly take a few days or a number of weeks to shift, _ few days or a number of weeks to shift, but —

8:43 am
major hollywood star, young man, very much a big star in hollywood and the way these things work is that we have these junket interviews and they have to do lots of press on the same day and they sit there and people like us are wielding, could be foreign press, us, whatever and one of the things i do is sayjust to make sure they know who they are talking to and i say you are talking to the bbc, that is who we are. did he know? therein _ to the bbc, that is who we are. did he know? therein lies _ to the bbc, that is who we are. did he know? therein lies the - to the bbc, that is who we are. did he know? therein lies the story. i he know? therein lies the story. here is what _ he know? therein lies the story. here is what happened - he know? therein lies the story. here is what happened next. i i was watching this show the other day, i think it was bbc one, and a woman was upset because two guys went out bike riding and he needed to be back in the studio and i don't know if she knew she was on air. ok, that would be me. 0h, was it you! he's ignoring me. again. that was me on the bicycle. it seemed like a nice day. i don't know what
8:44 am
the fuss was about. it was a lovely day for me to go out for a bike ride and technically i was supposed to be working and going back to the studio but i thought, you know what, i'm out, i escaped for a moment. that's great. but it did become like a thing. somebody go out and get him. that was my colleague, naga. this film is big and brilliant and it has everything. it's full—on. i agree. it is something tom, used an analogy, we are trying to hit a bullet with a bullet. that was just talking about how precise we would need to be and how small the target was to be able to make a film that worked as a sequel, 30 something years later. you know, you want to pay homage to the original but you can't be winking too much. people don't want that too much. do you ever wink at people? i'm not sure about that. ican do i can do left as well. trust your instincts.
8:45 am
don't think. just do. you think up there, you are dead. believe me. my dad believed in you. i'm not going to make the same mistake. . i want to know about working with tom cruise, because the man is a legend. absolutely. well deserved. and all of us mere mortals can see from a distance and the obvious question is, what is it like when you meet him, and then you are working with him. the amount of respect that i have for him, and he is, he's just very disarming as well when you meet him. and with tom it is all about making the movie. and if you're going to be a part of this with him, he brings you in and you are truly like his teamatee. he is not the type of actor to show up, do his thing and go back to his trailer. that is not his thing. he's incredibly dedicated to making a film and if you get to work with him, you get a masterclass in so many different aspects of it. including flying planes.

you know, i was telling the producers and i was saying, i don't want to be tom. let tom do... ..i am a land actor. i don't need to go up in the air. what the hell? good morning, aviators. this is your captain speaking. it adds so much to the film and i'm certainly glad we did it. flan it adds so much to the film and i'm certainly glad we did it.— certainly glad we did it. can you fl a 'et? certainly glad we did it. can you fly a jet? as _ certainly glad we did it. can you fly a jet? as an _ certainly glad we did it. can you fly a jet? as an actor, _ certainly glad we did it. can you fly a jet? as an actor, you - certainly glad we did it. can you. fly a jet? as an actor, you cannot fly a jet? as an actor, you cannot fl a 'et? ., �* fly a jet? as an actor, you cannot fl a'et? ., �* , ., fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us— fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us to _ fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us to get _ fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us to get to _ fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us to get to the - fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom wanted us to get to the point | fly ajet? no, i can't, but tom - wanted us to get to the point where we felt that we had so much knowledge about what we were doing that we could take ownership of it so we got to the point where we would be in a briefing, on base and there would be all the best fighter pilots in the world and the navy brass and we would tell them what we were doing and say the altitude we were doing and say the altitude we were flying out, what manoeuvre we were flying out, what manoeuvre we were going to do. you were flying out, what manoeuvre we were going to de— were flying out, what manoeuvre we were going to do. you kind of walked in throu~h were going to do. you kind of walked in through in — were going to do. you kind of walked in through in the _ were going to do. you kind of walked in through in the air. _ were going to do. you kind of walked in through in the air. it _ were going to do. you kind of walked in through in the air. it was _ were going to do. you kind of walked in through in the air. it was so - in through in the air. it was so extremely _

8:48 am
which is important. so the suit constricts, so it's a little tight and it's keeping the blood really pumping up top and then there was a part of the g suit that would go around your stomach, which i hated. like a cummerbund. like a cummerbund that inflates on your diaphragm, but as far as kind of getting sick, which i think you are also alluding to, that was a real problem for a lot of people. you did quite a bit of training on land. you had to do the whole submersion thing to come out of the sky. submersion thing to come out of the s . submersion thing to come out of the s , ., ., submersion thing to come out of the sky. the naval aviator over water survival training _ sky. the naval aviator over water survival training course, - sky. the naval aviator over water survival training course, we - sky. the naval aviator over water survivaltraining course, we had| sky. the naval aviator over water. survivaltraining course, we had to survival training course, we had to pass that, and pilots have to pass it every four years but because we are in jets flying it every four years but because we are injets flying over water so if we had to inject we had to have this certification which gave us a little bit of knowledge as far as what to
8:49 am
do, so you are in the pool all day and pass a written test and it all leads up to this thing called the bunker which is a torture device and you get strapped to a chair and you have for clasps that are connected and you are blindfolded and they slowly start submerging this container underwater and you are blindfolded and strapped to a chair and then they turn the thing upside down very slowly and you have to be able to get out of your harness and climb across the seats because you are upside down and then another guy has to do like a two mechanism manoeuvre to get out of the aircraft and you have to do it safely and calmly. and you have to do it safely and calml . ., ., ., , ., calmly. you are a very talented musician which _ calmly. you are a very talented musician which people - calmly. you are a very talented musician which people i - calmly. you are a very talented musician which people i know. calmly. you are a very talented - musician which people i know from previous films you have done and you get to play in this. i previous films you have done and you get to play in thia— get to play in this. i think i'm aood get to play in this. i think i'm good enough _ get to play in this. i think i'm good enough to _ get to play in this. i think i'm good enough to play - get to play in this. i think i'm good enough to play at - get to play in this. i think i'm good enough to play at a - get to play in this. i think i'm| good enough to play at a bar. get to play in this. i think i'm - good enough to play at a bar. 0h, good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on. — good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on. you _ good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on, you are _ good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on, you are good. if- good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on, you are good. if the - good enough to play at a bar. oh, come on, you are good. if the dj. good enough to play at a bar. oh, i come on, you are good. if the d] has sto ed come on, you are good. if the d] has stopped and — come on, you are good. if the d] has stopped and the _ come on, you are good. if the d] has stopped and the band _

i grew up in a boisterous household with a lot of strong women from newjersey, so it was a bit of a circus may be growing up, so i'm not fazed by too much of the other stuff. it's been lovely chatting to you, respect to the shirt. it's made me feel distinctly underdressed. and respect to you. don't do this. can you go down? two different types of laces. that's how we do it. different coloured laces. i thought we agreed that some things were off limits. i thought we agreed that. thank you. that was so fun, man. he isa he is a very delightful young man and i_ he is a very delightful young man and i call— he is a very delightful young man and i call him a young man, but he did that_ and i call him a young man, but he did that thing which is lovely when you talk— did that thing which is lovely when you talk to — did that thing which is lovely when you talk to people like that and he came _ you talk to people like that and he came round the room and introduced himself_ came round the room and introduced himself to _ came round the room and introduced himself to everyone and all of the camera _ himself to everyone and all of the camera guys and a very lovely guy.
