good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the cost of living crisis in the classroom. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals to stop them going hungry. european football's governing body announces an independent investigation into the chaos that marred the champions league final in paris. half term holiday nightmare. more than 30,000 people have faced cancelled flights as airport disruptions continue. why's it happening? and what are your rights when things go wrong? andy murray, who survived the dunblane attack, tells us about his shock at the latest school shooting in america.

0n the radio the other day, it was a child, from that school, you know. and i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane, a teacher coming out and waving at all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide. good morning. some folk to watch out for fans that will lift quite rapidly, —— some fork to watch out for that which will lift, but it should brighten up from the west. all of the details later on. it's tuesday 31st may. our main story. more children in england should be given free school meals to support those families struggling with the cost of living crisis, according to teachers. teaching unions have written to the governnment asking for an urgent expansion of the scheme to prevent children going hungry.

alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day fed and entertained. but as rising prices start to hit parents�* pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well. and many of them aren't on free school meals. 0urfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons. to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food

poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because, without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. but from year 3 upwards, your household income must be below £7,400 a year. in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at 14,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals and they are providing over

£15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further. alice key, bbc news. european football's governing body, uefa, has commissioned an independent inquiry into the chaotic scenes that delayed saturday's champions league final between liverpool and real madrid in paris. it comes after french officials yesterday blamed liverpool supporters with fake tickets for the disruption. but the liverpool chairman has demanded an apology and called the organisation of the event one of the worst security collapses in recent memory. james reynolds reports. how did the entry to the stade de france descend into chaos? why did the french police use tear gas and pepper spray against liverpool fans? in a press conference yesterday, france's sports minister,

amelie 0udea—castera, continued to blame ticketless liverpool fans and fake tickets for the issues. this is disputed by fans, and the club, whose chairman has demanded an apology. writing to ms 0udea—castera, tom werner said... he added... uefa will now carry out its own review to examine what it describes as the decision—making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved. liverpool fans caught up in saturday's trouble have reacted cautiously.

there has to be a little bit of a, "well, we got this wrong" from uefa and the french authorities so far in terms of what they have claimed. if there needs to be an independent report, then what they have claimed so far, they must know, is inaccurate. it's important that that bit happens as well. i'm pleased that there will be an independent report, if indeed it is truly independent. but within france, there are questions about the government's actions and explanations. the country's independent police commissioners unit has told the bbc commissioners union has told the bbc that supporters were not the main problem, and pointed to a need for more officers on the ground. the interior minister says that in future, tickets to major events will be digital. the authorities in france will be under great pressure to get their procedures right ahead of next year when the same venue will host the opening match of the men's rugby union world cup. and all eyes will once again be on the french capital a year later when the world heads to paris for the summer olympic games.

james reynolds, bbc news. we will be getting more reaction to that uefa inquiry from two fans who were there on saturday, that's at around 7.40am, here on breakfast. european union leaders have agreed a plan to ban two thirds of oil imports from russia. the deal has been hailed as a major blow to russia's ability to wage war in ukraine. 0ur kyiv correspondentjames waterhouse joins us now. this is something that the ukrainians have been calling forfor some time, hasn't it? ukrainians have been calling for for some time, hasn't it?— some time, hasn't it? yes, and president _ some time, hasn't it? yes, and president zelensky _ some time, hasn't it? yes, and president zelensky has - some time, hasn't it? yes, and president zelensky has been i president zelensky has been frustrated by the lack of agreement from european union leaders about just how to punish russia and keep the pressure on. hungary was split on the issue, its main reasoning being, if you are going to ban

russian imports, that is going to affect the rest of us in europe, it needs to be more thought through. all the well royal, president zelensky, the reason he has wanted to be tough sanctions is because his military even with help from the west is not able to force the russians out completely. so this will be welcome news, but i think the effects of such a move from the european union, while significant, it may well take time for that to translate onto the battlefield as the fighting rages on. you mentioned fiuuhthih, the fighting rages on. you mentioned fighthigh. reports _ the fighting rages on. you mentioned fighthigh, reports of— the fighting rages on. you mentioned fighthigh, reports of significant - fighthigh, reports of significant fighting in the east of ukraine that we know about, what is the situation on the ground? we we know about, what is the situation on the ground?— on the ground? we are once again talkin: on the ground? we are once again talking about _ on the ground? we are once again talking about the _ on the ground? we are once again talking about the east _ on the ground? we are once again talking about the east base - on the ground? we are once again | talking about the east base location which remains in ukrainian control for now, severodonetsk, but the russians are now claiming a third of

it is in their control, and if it falls, it will allow the russians to claim half of the luhansk region. —— claimed the luhansk region which is half of the donbas. this has seen thousands of soldiers captured. we know hundreds have been exchanged but we have spoken to one ukrainian soldier who made it back and his journey is quite remarkable. metal scaffolding. holding together his broken pelvis. he also broke his jaw, and lost vision in one eye. he is onlyjust taking his first steps. two months ago, he was defending mariupol, with the marines, watching for the enemy. translation: i turned my head and saw a tank aimed at me. -

i saw a bright flash. ifelt the building collapsing. he survived, but was captured. no one knew whether he was dead or alive until this video was posted online by his captors. he was taken to a hospital in russian occupied territory. translation: they held a dagger on my leg, at my throat, - and led to my ear and said, "it would be nice to cut off your ear". they did it to nearly everyone. i couldn't feed myself because my jaw was broken, i couldn't sit up. some nurses were taunting me by leaving food down in front of me and saying, "try and eat that, you lowlife ukrainian". this is hlib's testimony. we have not been able to independently verify his claims. translation: we were lying there without any painkillers or anything. | so only my faith and the understanding that i had

to survive helped me to carry on. singing. while hlib suffered, his church in poltava prayed. he has been involved here since he was a boy. translation: i knew there were only two ways out of mariupol. _ death or captivity. all that remained was to pray. the war has brought a lot of suffering, a lot of families are waiting for their sons to return. we pray and we suffer. after 17 days, hlib was released in a prisoner exchange. translation: the driver approached, patted us and said, "calm down, - guys, you're in ukraine". then i cried and tears streamed down my face. i was very happy.

i still could not believe that i was in ukraine, that i was exchanged, that i was in a place where you can breathe freely. in war, capture is an occupational hazard for a soldier. this conflict has seen people, citizens, taken by the russians as they tried to do two things. either use them as currency for prisoner exchanges, and that seems to have worked in some cases, but also to try and crush their resistance, their fight. and that hasn't been so successful. translation: | want to go backj and continue fighting for ukraine to help bring us victory over russia. james waterhouse, bbc news, poltava. so, the ukrainian government is fairly quiet. it doesn't give much away on the specifics of the negotiations in terms of how

prisoners are exchanged. but on the ukrainian side, more war crimes trials are taking place and on the russian side, it's been suggested that some captured ukrainian fighter could face the death penalty, special tribunal is being set up in occupied territory in the east of ukraine. both of those will complicate future prisoner releases. thank you very much, james, live in key. thank you very much, james, live in ke . ., thank you very much, james, live in ke . . . , thank you very much, james, live in ke . . , . thank you very much, james, live in ke. . ., thank you very much, james, live in ke. . . ., key. that was such a powerful re ort. police and prosecutors should immediately stop collecting large amounts of personal information about victims of rape and serious sexual assaults according to a new report. the uk's information commissioner says that victims are being treated as suspects. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. it's known as the digital strip search. many rape complainants have to consent to hand over their phones as part of the criminal investigation. they are also being asked for a whole range of personal information.

we spoke to one complainant whose case didn't get to trial and he has case didn't get to trial and who has waived her right to anonymity to speak out. they got all of my medical records, which, unfortunately, are quite substantial. my social care records and a complete download of my mobile phone. looking back on it, it is such a violation. it felt as though i was the one that was being investigated, i was the one on trial, i was the one that had committed a crime. this trawl by police and prosecutors should stop immediately, says the uk's information commissioner, whose job it is to uphold information rights. he says that because victims are being treated as suspects, they are withdrawing from criminal cases. and this is contributing to the low conviction rates for rape. police chiefs and the crown prosecution service say they are working to improve the way complainants are treated and to rebuild confidence in the system. and the home office says

there will be a public consultation on requests for personal information. june kelly, bbc news. three more conservative mps have joined growing calls for the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. the total number of tory mps publically calling for borisjohnson to step down has now reached 27. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. how close do we think a leadership challenge could be, or is it impossible to know? that's the million-dollar _ impossible to know? that's the million-dollar question - impossible to know? that's the million-dollar question it - impossible to know? that's the million-dollar question it is - impossible to know? that's the million-dollar question it is fair million—dollar question it is fair to say. after that report by the senior civil servant sue gray into the parties in downing street, there was an expectation that there might be a flood of critics coming out of the woodwork, that hasn't happened. instead there has been a trickle or a steady stream. the numbers are creeping up, 27 who have now publicly called on the prime

minister to go, but what we do not know is how close or not it might be to the 5a formal letters that are required to trigger a vote of confidence in the prime minister, thatis confidence in the prime minister, that is an entirely private process. one conservative mp said last night, 0ne conservative mp said last night, they thought there were a number who had submitted letters privately but kept their counsel. there is not a lot of clarity. we are in recess so parliament is not sitting, some mps are suggesting that if it happens, it certainly would not be before the queensjubilee this weekend. it is still a big if, for all the critics, there are people in the party who are still loyal to the prime minister. are still loyal to the prime minister-— are still loyal to the prime minister. ., ,, , ,, minister. thank you, sounds like next week— minister. thank you, sounds like next week could _ minister. thank you, sounds like next week could be _ minister. thank you, sounds like next week could be busy. - minister. thank you, sounds like next week could be busy. we - minister. thank you, sounds like i next week could be busy. we have been talking _ next week could be busy. we have been talking a _ next week could be busy. we have been talking a lot _ next week could be busy. we have been talking a lot about _ next week could be busy. we have been talking a lot about people . been talking a lot about people trying to get away on holiday, the airports have been struggling a bit, if you are staying here, what is the weather going to be like?

we will bring our very big coats and a big brolly! let's take a look at today's papers. if you are heading abroad, maybe you are having struggles doing so. a number of papers, including the metro, are leading with travel chaos at airports. the paper says staff shortages have caused "misery for millions", leaving families sleeping on airport floors and queuing for up to eight hours for flights. the times reports that a government source has blamed the travel disruption on airports and airlines for overcutting staff during the pandemic. it also features an image of the case protecting the mona lisa being wiped clean after a protestor smeared cake over it. ambushed with cakes, we have heard about that before! elsewhere, the daily mail reports that ministers are facing mounting pressure to cut fuel taxes further

after the cost of filling a family car with diesel passed £100 for the first time. and the daily telegraph leads with news that police forces are routinely failing to answer 999 calls within target times in the wake of the pandemic. data revealed nearly three million people per year are being left to wait longer for help than the national target of ten seconds. iam going i am going to live forever. there is a piece here in the guardian saying if you have two to four cups of coffee every day, or in my case, every hour... coffee every day, or in my case, every hour- - -— coffee every day, or in my case, every hour... you have ten cups of coffee in the _ every hour... you have ten cups of coffee in the morning! _ every hour... you have ten cups of coffee in the morning! it _ every hour... you have ten cups of coffee in the morning! it cuts - every hour... you have ten cups of coffee in the morning! it cuts your| coffee in the morning! it cuts your risk of an early _ coffee in the morning! it cuts your risk of an early death. _ coffee in the morning! it cuts your risk of an early death. but - coffee in the morning! it cuts your. risk of an early death. but normally there is a report every week saying that you will die if you have too much coffee. that you will die if you have too much coffee-—

away from here, airports and airlines have really struggled with recruitment recently. cabin crew, baggage handlers, security staff, the people who move the ramps around so you can get on board safely. manchester airport has repeatedly been in the headlines, with massive queues holding passengers up. problems were also reported at bristol and gatwick over the weekend. and at lots of other airports it's a similar story, a struggle to recruit staff and get them security cleared on time. this was the scene at manchester airport yesterday morning. look at that queue! and this was bristol over the weekend. awful for peope who don't like crowds. and on top of airport staffing issues, we are seeing airlines cancel flights. andy was offered an alternative flight when his was called off but that didn't work with his booked accommodation. so that first family holiday in three years is off. we said we would fly anywhere, we will fly anywhere you can get us, no

flight anywhere for three days. it's not just. .. flight anywhere for three days. it's notjust... i'm sure i will get the holiday money back but it is also the fact that we spent 200 quid on a hotel last night, we spent 100 quid on a meal last night and probably another 150 this morning on various different things. parking gusts another 150 quid, different things. parking gusts another150 quid, i different things. parking gusts another 150 quid, i will probably never see any of that back from easyjet. —— the parking cost us. i am hugely disappointed in how they handled this whole situation and the position they put their customer services people here into. it’s position they put their customer services people here into. it's the money and _ services people here into. it's the money and the — services people here into. it's the money and the disappointment. l easyjet have pre—emptively had to cancel about 240 half term flights. in their words, "in order to be able to provide a reliable service". in other words, not enough staff, as well as it and air traffic control issues. ba, tui and vueling have also had to make cancellations. airlines are facing criticism. they were given furlough support over the pandemic to keep staff on, these big getaway pinch periods are in the diary well in advance,

so why are they still not able to cope? it is important to recognise this is notjust it is important to recognise this is not just the it is important to recognise this is notjust the uk problem, this is happening in many parts of the world, we have heard in many parts of the world, dublin and amsterdam, but you can see that the usa has had problem, australia, other parts of europe. this shows the industry as a whole are struggling to get back to normal staffing levels. we saw restrictions on travel route quite late in the normal period of planning to resource up for peak season and it isn't a matter of putting a job advert at and recruiting people out of the street, training is required, security vetting is required, and the processes become more compensated. and when airlines have got no money for two years, they didn't have the financial means to do it in advance and proactively when they were simply bleeding, basically. john told us that, in the long—term,

the industry might have to think harder about how to make these jobs more attractive. in the short—term, we're going to have to get used to issues and thatjubilee weekend may be the biggest test yet. what is really important to know, if your flight is cancelled less than two weeks before you're due to fly, your airline is obliged to get you there as soon as possible, even if it's with another carrier. if necessary book the flight yourself and claim it back. although that is a luxury not everybody can afford. later, i'll be speaking to a travel rights expert. get in touch with your questions and i'll get the answers at 8.30am. that's the one, it could get worse over thejubilee weekend before it gets better, —— that is the warning, and another area where there is a staffing problem so we do not know where things will settle down. it's the worst feeling when you are looking forward to a holiday so much and it doesn't happen. breaking it to the kids. the and it doesn't happen. breaking it to the kids-_

more showers as we head through the middle part of the day. some of those showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery. they will be quite slow moving, too, because the winds are light, but they will generally fade away again to leave us with a largely sunny, dry end to the day. top temperatures on a par with yesterday, perhaps a degree also higher. a degree or so higher. 0vernight tonight, long clear spells. again, temperatures dropping back into high single figures. and there will be another rash of showers pushing eastwards as we head into wednesday morning. on wednesday, things will turn warmer. again, some showers through the middle part of the day. highs of 20—21 degrees by thursday. that's it for now. but there's lots more on our website at the usual address. now it's back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast. we'll speak to one of the queen's official hat designers as preparations step up ahead

with the bbc. you think of andy murray, confident and assured. he speaks eloquently around a lot of the issues going on in the world. we know that he is not at the french open. he is getting ready for wimbledon. he wants to do well. he is a two—time champion there. he has talked about issues we have seen in the news with the texas school shooting and recently our reporter laura scott interviewed him so let's bring you a special report from andy murray. he has told the bbc the recent shooting at a school in america evoked memories of his experience surviving the dunblane massacre of 1996. in a wide ranging interview, he also shared his thoughts on the decision to ban russian

and belarusian players from wimbledon following the invasion of ukraine, and shared his own ambitions for the future. andy murray was busy preparing for the grass court season when he saw the news of the latest mass shooting in america. of a primary school in texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed by an 18—year—old gunman. 0n social media, murray described the incident as madness and one survivor's account in particular brought back painful memories of the horrific shootings that took place at his own school in dunblane in 1996, as he told me yesterday. it's obviously unbelievably sad and disappointing and itjust makes you feel angry and incredibly upset for the parents. i heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school. i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane and a teacher coming out and waving all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide.

and there was a kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it. they were saying that they go through these drills like as young children, seven, eight—year—old children, and it's like how? how is that normal that children should be having to go through drills in case someone comes into school with a gun? i don't get it. murray feels strongly that the time has come for change. you know, i get over there, and there is always talk about it being something political. but i don't see how it is. i don't think anyone wants to see things like that happening. my feeling is that surely, at some stage, you do something different. like you can't keep approaching the problem by buying more guns and having more guns in the country. i don't see how that solves it. other issues on his mind include the fallout from the war in ukraine and the decision by wimbledon to ban russian and belarusian players from this year's event. i understand why wimbledon took the decision,

because of the guidance that was in place at the time from the government. i can also appreciate the players' perspective, that aren't allowed to play. i have spoken to a number of them. i am friends with some of them, so i talk to them about it and i can understand why it is frustrating for them, as well. i don't think there was necessarily a right decision. and, yeah, it's a very difficult one. as punishment, there will be no ranking points available to players at sw19 this year. but murray thinks it will have a little consequence or benefit. in terms of the points, the atp removing the points from wimbledon, i just don't think it's what the majority of the players wanted. and i am not quite sure who it actually benefits because i think all of the players will still turn up and play, so i'm not sure

how beneficial it is. the former world number one was speaking after a confident victory at the surbiton trophy, a tournament he is playing for the first time since he was 17. now 35, he is back because he knows he needs matches under his belt before wimbledon. i do have high expectations for myself and, hopefully, i can perform well the next few weeks. and that's kind of, i guess, second week of a slam and stringing wins together? yeah. um, yeah. i mean, i want to do better than just making the second week. and, yeah, i want to be winning matches consistently on the tour, which maybe hasn't been the case for large parts of the last 18 months or so, but i still believe that i can get back to that level. even if murray's ambitions haven't diminished in recent years, his chances of fulfilling them have so often been hampered by injury.

so his goals on the grass do rely on his body holding up. physically, right now, ifeel like i am in good shape. you know, it wasn't the case coming into the grass court season last year. so i'm happy that i feel good. like i said, i got a lot of practice on the grass under my belt this year and, hopefully, yeah, the body stays that way. murray's sporting focus isn't only on tennis, with scotland facing ukraine in the world cup play—off semifinal tomorrow night. i think my brother has already booked tickets, just in case scotland get there. but i might be playing here, so i don't know if i will get the chance to watch it. but i would love to. scotland haven't played in a world cup since i think it was �*98, but it is a long time ago. yeah. so i was nine or ten years old at the time, so i'm hoping they can do it.

they have got a good team now, so let's see. as he embarks on another bid at wimbledon glory, it is clear events around the world are neverfarfrom murray's mind. laura scott, bbc news. it's a match fitting of a final but rafa nadal and novak djokovic meet in the last eight of the french open this evening. they share 41 grand slam titles between them — nadal has won 13 at rolland garros alone but djokovic famously he already won i think the last nine matches in a row. winning in rome and now winning here. in straight sets, every match. he will be confident. playing him in roland garros it's always a physical battle along with everything else that happens. it's a huge challenge. and probably the biggest one you can have. as you've been hearing this morning, uefa have commissioned an independent review to find out what went wrong with policing fans

at the champions league final between liverpool and real madrid on saturday. here's a look at what the papers are saying about this. a lot of blame game going on essentially is what a lot of the papers lead with. this is the times newspaper with the headline liverpool call for french to apologise. they have written to the french authorities about their claims about the industrial scale fraud french authorities claim happened with 30,000, 40,000 fake tickets claimed. there is verification required in terms of those claims. the daily mail, also on those claims. there is going to be an independent investigator involved in that. also, one person coming in for blame within it, as we

can see. jurgen klopp. he had made comments saying even if you don't have a ticket, come to paris to support us. he actually said if you haven't got a ticket, watch it on the telly. because he said it in the bbc breakfast interview. the french authorities provided those fan parks in paris for people who did not have tickets. people are saying there is a lot of back—and—forth between french authorities, government, uefa, the clubs themselves. and a lot of evidence gathered on the ground from the fans, journalists who were there. something does not add up. and you mentioned an important word, evidence. because there is so much footage. surely important. thank you. from the white embroidered dress worn at her coronation to her vibrant coats

and matching hats. the queen's style is recognised across the globe, and she's become something of a fashion icon. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has been taking a look back at how the queen's style has changed throughout her 70—year reign. from the grand state occasion to classic country casual, to solid royal engagement dressing. the queen has a formula that has worked for 70 years. for close observers of her style, they see considerable fashion planning. the queen's look can be a diplomatic statement in itself. when she visited saudi arabia in the 19705, she created a wardrobe with the designer hardy amies that would be appropriate for that tour. so we saw lots of long sleeves, lots of long lengths,

she also had matching turbans as well. and she wore these outfits to events where she was one of the only women in attendance. you know, she has really had that kind of power on the world stage and created a wardrobe to fit that role. and accessories are key to that wardrobe. there is the hat, the gloves and of course, her trusted handbag. in a quiet corner of walsall in the west midlands, the queen's favourite handbags are made. she has been loyal to the launer brand throughout her reign, as she has with many british fashion lines and designers. there is nothing like seeing her using one of our handbags at an event. it gives us great pride in the craftsmanship that we have produced that bag. the queen's coronation dress was perhaps her first big fashion moment. all eyes were on the norman hartnell design, every detail analysed. evelyn morris was 17 years old when she helped make the coronation dress, and she had a specific role on the day in westminster abbey. herjob was to ensure that the dress

looked perfect throughout. i had a better seat than most of the best of the dukes and duchesses because i didn't have a seat. i was roaming the abbey, i could go where i liked, because i was on duty. very honoured, really, and proud. and it was a lovely dress. it flowed nicely, it was cut really well. it couldn't have been better. very honoured to be part of it, really. in her 90s, where are the queen's fashion influences now? well, take a look at london fashion week in 2018. the queen, vogue editor anna wintour, and angela kelly, the personal assistant to the queen. her position here a sign of her status within the royal household. angela kelly is a designer of much of the monarch's current wardrobe and a trusted confidante to the queen.

there have been few wardrobe surprises over the past 70 years. little pandering to trends. but the queen's clothes have added to her status as a public figure. her uniformity of appearance, the way she has managed to create a uniform, essentially, for herself, her particular look, her particular style. she never felt the need to update, change with the era. essentially, she had looked the same for all these years. it's enormously reassuring. her look over 70 years has been safe, reliable, practical, and consistent. much like her reign. daniela relph, bbc news. we will be speaking to one of the queen's official hat designers just after 8.10 this morning. iam quite i am quite excited. evening, her boast of having made the coronation dress, how special is that? to look back at your party in history.

and to say she was there and had to keep it looking nice. good morning, lovely to hear it. here's carol. i know she loves a new hat. you are going to need one! a waterproof one. good morning. today will be a day of sunshine and showers. like yesterday, some showers. like yesterday, some showers will be heavy and thundery so you could catch a deluge in a relatively short amount of time. low pressure in charge. the weather front slipping out of the outer hebrides and getting into northern ireland later. it will be breezy in the south. fog in southern england, wales and scotland which will lift. it is a cloudy start. the club are breaking up as we go through the day. looking at sunshine and

showers. it should dry across parts of wales and south—west england in the afternoon. rain moving south, getting into northern ireland. the top temperatures are likely to be 17 in somewhere like cardiff or plymouth. 0vernight, the rain moves out of northern ireland and clips south—west scotland, gets into north—west england and north—west wales. furthershowers north—west england and north—west wales. further showers across eastern scotland, getting into central areas. eastern scotland, getting into centralareas. between, eastern scotland, getting into central areas. between, clear skies and some fog forming which will lift. tomorrow, rain in the manchester area and as it pushes away, it will turn to showers. tomorrow, another day of sunshine and showers but the shower is not as frequent. there will be more sunshine. but they could be thundery in central and eastern england. temperatures 13—19. into thursday,

what we have is a weather front drifting steadily towards northern ireland. another system coming up from the south. 0n ireland. another system coming up from the south. on thursday, any fog that formed overnight will lift. dry weather around. some cloud with the odd shower. and then we have rain coming in across northern ireland. heading into the evening, beacons are being lit on thursday evening, we might see rain on the west coast of scotland. something to keep an eye on. during the day, 12—21. maximum temperatures. 0n eye on. during the day, 12—21. maximum temperatures. on friday, the rain in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england, the isle of man. on either side, dry conditions with a high of 22. into the weekend, this is where there is

uncertainty. it depends on where this front coming south and the one coming north arrives. it looks at times like we will have showers, especially in the south of england. in the sunshine, it will keep quite warm. it could be worse. thank you. we will go with quite warm. you may remember seven—year—old aneeshwar, the budding conservationist who told us all about his mission to raise awareness of nature. he sat here and enthuse us all. he was even dubbed the next david attenborough after wowing judges on this year's britain's got talent. now he's been to meet his hero, the wildlife presenter steve backshall, as our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports. it's a huge honour to give you your first yes. - 0k! i say yes. it's a yes from me. thank you so much.

and you have four yeses. looking at youngsters like aneeshwar and seeing how they've got hooked into some of the really big problem our planet faces is the most exciting thing about myjob. because, ultimately, they are going to be the next generation making big changes. and there are young people who are not afraid to engage with climate change, with plastic pollution, with overfishing. with all of the big problems that we may shy away from. and that is so, so important. you are about to meet your hero. how do you feel? i'm feeling amazing, right now. steve backshall! it's so, so good to see you. it's great to see you, too. well, you are going to be my warm—up act today, aren't you? yeah. amazing, amazing.

i have been so, so excited watching you developing into like the greatest young conservationist ever. what's the plan? what are you going to do for us today? i'm going to first start talking about sharks and then i'm going to converge into megalodons, and then i'm going to say now, i'm going to welcome the one and only, yes, it's our hero, steve backshall. and then you'll come in. nice. you know, on stage, we've actually got like a megalodon jaw that you can use, you can talk about. wow. and i am even going to talk about what megalodon means. ah. it's going to mean big teeth. that's right. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage aneeshwar kunchala. - hi. did you know that sharks have been living before the dinosaurs? wow, that's really long ago.

we need to help all these sharks so they can swim gracefully in our oceans. and so we learn more about this, welcome the one and only, our hero, steve backshall! i don't know about you lot, but my cute capacitors are filled to overload. that's me done for the rest of the day. cutting down trees, polluting the seas, poaching the animals excessively. we need to stop getting it wrong. tell me, how did you get interested in animals and the environment? it started just when i was like four. i saw a dead whale dying from plastic. and i felt really sad for that and i wanted to help it. so i started with conservation and all like that. so we would spread awareness

about all these creatures, just like the creatures in your fish tank, like the turtle. so what is it about nature that you like so much? that you love so much? ijust love nature because they have superpowers. just like the turtle can sleep under water. well done, the turtle. so, aneeshwar, what is your favourite animal? hard to say, but i think i like sharks. so, in a way, you are meeting one of your heroes now, because you are meeting sharks right now, aren't you? yeah. tell me, aneeshwar, because you are a bit of wildlife expert, aren't you? what animals can you see in this fish tank? i see a gold—sided fish. oh, that's a quick parrot fish. i love that one. and look over there. there is a stingray just above your head. just above my head? yeah. so what is your plan, now, because you are pretty much conquering the world, aren't you? people are saying you are going to be the next david attenborough. if i get one step better,

i'm going to turn into the next david attenborough — for real. well, that is amazing. you have already done something pretty awesome by being the first aneeshwar. and you are well on the road. we love him. we love him. we love him. he we love him. he seemed we love him. he seemed more we love him. he seemed more excited we love him. he seemed more excited he seemed about we love him. he seemed more excited about meeting steve backshall than he did when he came to me does. that is understandable. well done to him and good luck in the next round of britain's got talent. the end of the school year is fast approaching, and year 11 pupils will be looking forward to celebrating at their prom. they are not thinking about their exams but what comes after. but proms can also come with a lot of expense, and when one teacher heard that one of her pupils wouldn't be attending because she couldn't afford a dress, the teacher set up a pop—up shop

of donated frocks and suits so that students could have them for free. 0ur reporter sarah rogers is at a school in sandwell and can tell us more. i want you to think to your high school days. was it a dance or disco? they call it a prom now. and how important it was. at the moment times are difficult. buying outfits is not something many families can factor in. so a teacher turned fairy godmother decided to provide them. tell us about it. this is a pop—up prom dress shop. and it is a school i am working with at the moment. it started recently. i am a teacher, i have been for 18 years. a pupil in my school said she was not going to

go to her prom. i knew she wanted to go. so i had a conversation. i said to her, i said, go. so i had a conversation. i said to her, isaid, is go. so i had a conversation. i said to her, i said, is it about the dress? because i knew a bit about her background. i said if i could get you address to go to the prom, would you want to go? have a little thing, don't tell me now. she went away and had a little thing. she said to me, you know what, miss? if you could get me a dress i would really want to go. so it started from there. at the time i thought... i saw a... studio: oh, from there. at the time i thought... isaw a... studio: oh, dear, whata shame. we have to leave it there because the signal is not quite working. we will rejoin sarah a little later

in the programme. what great idea. it is, with budget so tight. the idea of a family forking out on the dress and see it is massive. it is a recent thing. it did not happen years ago. when sarah said do you remember? we went no. i think we went for a quick half a lager and the bus. we will find out later about what that school and other schools are doing to try to help out. a lot of school stories and fashion stories. perfect. your specialist subject. the queen could go to the pop—up store and get address. we will be talking about the queen's hats ahead of thejubilee weekend later in the programme. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle.

construction on what said to be the uk's longest railway bridge is getting under way as part of hs2. it'll be built with this machine weighing more than 700 tonnes, and when it's finished will stretch for more than two miles between hillingdon and the m25. the first phase of hs2, from london to birmingham, is expected to cost up to £45 billion. they're used by many to commute or deliver goods. bikes are now part of scheme in east london to help tackle loneliness. the free service known as a cycling taxi provides short trips for errands or to community centres. the government has just given funding for six more and so far it's a hit with those who've used it. it makes you feel good in yourself, you know. when you are stuck in the house on your own and things like this, it is not very nice — you've got no life. but letting you come on the bike and taking us out — even to the shops, they do — it's very, very good. dresses that have featured on waxworks of the queen at madame tussauds are to go

on display to mark her platinum jubilee. the collection includes a copy of the coronation dress. as well as one designed by the royal dress maker. you'll find them dotted around london and they look like big green sheds. they're known as cabmen's shelters and provide a rest stop for taxi drivers. two in kensington and chelsea have just been awarded grade ii listing as part of london history day. travel now, and this is how tfl services are. there's no service on the hammersmith and city line while damage to a power cable is fixed. that's also affecting the district line which has no service between barking and upminster. and there's no service on the 0verground between edmonton green and cheshunt. 0nto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. as we approach the long jubilee bank holiday weekend, we are starting to firm up on the forecast. there will be lots of dry weather for the second half of the week. it will be warming up,

some sunshine at times, but still some uncertainty as to whether we will see showers spreading from the south, particularly on sunday, so do keep an eye on the forecast. this morning, locally, another chilly start to the day. not as cold as it was this time yesterday, but temperatures again dropped back in single figures for most of last night. for most last night. lots of morning brightness around, lots of dry weather. already, some showers starting to develop and there will be a lot more showers as we head through the middle part of the day. some of those showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery. they will be quite slow moving, too, because the winds are light, but they will generally fade away again to leave us with a largely sunny, dry end to the day. top temperatures on a par with yesterday, perhaps a degree or so higher. 0vernight tonight, long clear spells. again, temperatures dropping back into high single figures. and there will be another rash of showers pushing eastwards as we head into wednesday morning. on wednesday, things will turn warmer. again, some showers through the middle part of the day. highs of 20—21 degrees by thursday.

that's it for now. but there's lots more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back tojon and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the cost of living crisis in the classroom.

teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals to stop them going hungry. european football's governing body announces an independent investigation into the chaos that marred the champions league final in paris. half term holiday nightmare. more than 30,000 people have faced cancelled flights as airport disruptions continue. why's it happening? and what are your rights when things go wrong? andy murray, who survived the dunblane attack, tells us about his shock at the latest school shooting in america. there was something on the radio the other day, it was a child, from that school, you know. and i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane, a teacher coming out and waving at all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide. it isa it is a cloudy start to the day for most of us, some showers already,

the cloud will break through the day but sunshine developing, some showers will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. all of the detail throughout the programme. it's tuesday 31st may. our main story. more children in england should be given free school meals to support those families struggling with the cost of living crisis, according to teachers. teaching unions have written to the governnment asking for an urgent expansion of the scheme to prevent children going hungry. alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day fed and entertained. but as rising prices start to hit parents' pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well.

and many of them aren't on free school meals. 0urfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons. to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because, without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year 2 get free school meals during term time. but from year 3 upwards, your household income must be below £7,400 a year.

in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at 14,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals and they are providing over £15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further. alice key, bbc news. we will hear from one we will hearfrom one head we will hear from one head teacher in the next half hour about the impact on his pupils and why he is

calling forfree impact on his pupils and why he is calling for free school meals, keen to hear from you as well, get in touch if you are having to think about it suddenly because budget are not going as far as they did a few weeks or months ago. european football's governing body, uefa, has commissioned an independent inquiry into the chaotic scenes that delayed saturday's champions league final between liverpool and real madrid in paris. it comes after french officials yesterday blamed liverpool supporters with fake tickets for the disruption. but the liverpool chairman has demanded an apology and called the organisation of the event one of the worst security collapses in recent memory. james reynolds reports. how did the entry to the stade de france descend into chaos? why did the french police use tear gas and pepper spray against liverpool fans? in a press conference yesterday, france's sports minister, amelie 0udea—castera, continued to blame ticketless liverpool fans and fake

tickets for the issues. this is disputed by fans, and the club, whose chairman has demanded an apology. writing to ms 0udea—castera, tom werner said... he added... uefa will now carry out its own review to examine what it describes as the decision—making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved. liverpool fans caught up in saturday's trouble have reacted cautiously. there has to be a little bit of a, "well, we got this wrong" from uefa

and the french authorities so far in terms of what they have claimed. if there needs to be an independent report, then what they have claimed so far, they must know, is inaccurate. it's important that that bit happens as well. i'm pleased that there will be an independent report, if indeed it is truly independent. but within france, there are questions about the government's actions and explanations. the country's independent police commissioners union has told the bbc that supporters were not the main problem, and pointed to a need for more officers on the ground. the interior minister says that in future, tickets to major events will be digital. the authorities in france will be under great pressure to get their procedures right ahead of next year when the same venue will host the opening match of the men's rugby union world cup. and all eyes will once again be on the french capital a year later when the world heads to paris for the summer olympic games. james reynolds, bbc news.

we will be getting more reaction to that uefa inquiry from two fans who were there on saturday, that's at around 7.40am, here on breakfast. every story you hear gives you a little bit more information about what happened, truly shocking. really scary lots of people. thousands of passengers are facing cancelled flights this week as disruption at airports continues. nina's here with the details. this is the big question, why is this happening? that this is the big question, why is this happening?— this is the big question, why is this happening? this is the big question, why is this ha eninr? �* ., this happening? at the moment we understand 30,000 _ this happening? at the moment we understand 30,000 passengers - this happening? at the moment we i understand 30,000 passengers have been affected over the half—time break and it seems particularly cruel when people have had to wait two years before they could get abroad, and also at the time when some are questioning how long they can afford this. we have seen the upsetting pictures, manchester, bristol, gatwick airport, the chaos of cancelled and delayed flights but also people not being able to get to the gate on time because of staffing

issues. airports are really struggling to recruit staff, cabin crew, baggage handlers, even the people who move the ramps so you can get on board. airports were like the marie celeste over covid, i know because i went to them, and they have had to go from that to full capacity quickly. easyjet have cancelled 240 flights, a similar story from other airlines, and there is reports this morning of government frustration, they say they had furlough support to retain staffing, these pinch point dates didn't come out of nowhere, what is the excuse? rapid large—scale recruitment is an issue across lots of industries, we saw lots of similar scenes in ireland, amsterdam and the us so it isn'tjust happening here. jubilee weekend could be where the real test comes so it could get even worse. you do have options, your airlines are obliged to get you onto another carrier as soon as possible if they

cancel your flight within a two—week window and you are entitled to every refund. but it's a miserable start to the half term for thousands of families and the wider worry for the registry which is already on its knees whether people will look at the —— and industry on its knees will people look at the pictures and think, is it worth it? and will people look at the pictures and think, is it worth it?— think, is it worth it? and will it be fixed by _ think, is it worth it? and will it be fixed by the _ think, is it worth it? and will it be fixed by the time _ think, is it worth it? and will it be fixed by the time the - think, is it worth it? and will it | be fixed by the time the summer holidays coming around? yes. holidays coming around? yes, recruiting _ holidays coming around? yes, recruiting people _ holidays coming around? yes, recruiting people and - holidays coming around? yes, recruiting people and then - holidays coming around? ye: recruiting people and then getting them through the security checks and trained up, it is not a short—term solution. i trained up, it is not a short-term solution. . , .~' trained up, it is not a short-term solution. . , ., , ., solution. i am struck with lots of --eole solution. i am struck with lots of people who _ solution. i am struck with lots of people who have _ solution. i am struck with lots of people who have not _ solution. i am struck with lots of people who have not booked - solution. i am struck with lots of - people who have not booked anything for summer they are waiting to see what happens with household income and other things. it is brinkmanship this year. and other things. it is brinkmanship this ear. , , , this year. yes, the industry needed the bookings _ this year. yes, the industry needed the bookings but _ this year. yes, the industry needed the bookings but people _ this year. yes, the industry needed the bookings but people are - this year. yes, the industry needed the bookings but people are not. the bookings but people are not feeling confident because of those scenes and then they don't have the money. so scenes and then they don't have the mone . ,, ., ., , scenes and then they don't have the mone . ., , ., �* scenes and then they don't have the

frustration of kyiv. but now we are in a different position, ukraine is still under attack and this is a sizeable intervention from the european union. this will affect two thirds of russian imports which will directly affect the russian war machine which is now focusing its efforts on the east of the country. a machine which feeds more troops into the eastern donbas region as invading forces tried to take more of ukraine. the reason there is an urgency from president zelensky is ukraine on its own, even with all of the military help from the west, is unable to push russia out completely. they are relying on big western allies like the european union to put pressure on moscow in other ways. union to put pressure on moscow in other ways-— other ways. thank you very much indeed, other ways. thank you very much indeed. james — other ways. thank you very much indeed, james in _ other ways. thank you very much indeed, james in kyiv. _ three more conservative mps have joined calls for the prime minister to resign because of the partygate scandal. the total number of tory mps publically calling for borisjohnson to step down has now reached 27.

this week so mps are back in their constituencies. i understand there are no formal rules saying what would happen if the threshold is reached while people are away but there is no real appetite for a leadership contest, sorry, a vote of no confidence, to happen before the queensjubilee. so it is a watch and wait, and are very much if it happens at all.— wait, and are very much if it happens at all. wait, and are very much if it ha ens at all. . ,, y., , . happens at all. thank you very much indeed. survivors of rape and serious sexual assaults are being treated as �*suspects' by the legal system, according to the uk's data watchdog. the information commissioner urging police and prosecutors to immediately stop collecting what he calls "extraordinary" amounts of personal information from victims. we'rejoined now byjohn edwards, the information commissioner, and by katherine araniello, who had her rape complaint dropped by the crown prosecution service just days before the case was due in court.

england and wales. it is starting to wake up in wales in the south—west but we will see some showers. as we go through the rest of the day, showers persisting in eastern parts, persisting in northern ireland, slow—moving, houthi and thundery —— heavy and thundery. the rain moves out of northern ireland, getting into north—west england and wales, some showers in the east but where we have clear skies, mist and fog patches for being from. it will be showery tomorrow, there should be more sunshine tomorrow and if showers. —— fewer showers. with just two days to go

until the queen's platinum jubilee, our royal correspondent daniela relph is outside buckingham palace for us this morning. she is going to be spending quite a lot of time there over the next few days! she has a smile on herface. it isn't too wet yet. thousands of people will be gathering over the next few days, they are getting ready there, celebrations right across the country as well? yes. across the country as well? yes, that's right. _ across the country as well? yes, that's right, good _ across the country as well? yes, that's right, good morning i across the country as well? yes, that's right, good morning jon and sally, from what is the first broadcast from the bbc�*s platinum jubilee studios that have been set “p jubilee studios that have been set up for the weekend. all of those final bits are being put into place today and tomorrow. we have seen a flavour overnight with one of the final military rehearsals going on in central london, that is a rehearsal for the pageant on sunday afternoon where representatives of the army, navy and the air force will lead hundreds of people taking part in the pageant through central london, representing seven decades

of the queen was migraine. they have been making the most of the quiet streets overnight to rehearse their final route for that pageant. that will be of sunday afternoon. mackie at buckingham palace, over the past month, this area has been effectively transformed into a mini concert arena. it's quite extraordinary the changes made here. let's pick up a couple of specific things, if you look into the distance, you can see some great seating and a roof over it, that is the royal box. members of the royal family watching events over the weekend will be more comfy and dry than everybody else. if we move across the front of buckingham palace, three separate stages have been built for the concert on saturday night with the amazing palace backdrop. we will see the likes of diana ross, alicia keys, craig david, on one of those three stages. the blue seating is on some

of the 22,000 seats for people who were lucky enough to have a ticket to watch the concert live on saturday evening. the star of the show of course will be the queen over the weekend. it is a little bit unclear how much of the queen we will see over the weekend, but it is hoped here she will make at least one if not two appearances with members of herfamily one if not two appearances with members of her family on the buckingham palace balcony. it looks fantastic, buckingham palace balcony. it looks fantastic. the _ buckingham palace balcony. it looks fantastic, the auditorium, _ buckingham palace balcony. it looks fantastic, the auditorium, is - buckingham palace balcony. it looks fantastic, the auditorium, is that i fantastic, the auditorium, is that now closed to traffic? for the next few days? it now closed to traffic? for the next few da s? . , , now closed to traffic? for the next fewda s? , ., ., few days? it has been closed for a while to construct _ few days? it has been closed for a while to construct this, _ few days? it has been closed for a while to construct this, it - few days? it has been closed for a while to construct this, it has i few days? it has been closed for a | while to construct this, it has been a major building project in central london. a big section of central london, people who know this area in front of the palace in front of the mall, has been closed off to build this. it has been a major constructionjob and it this. it has been a major construction job and it will look spectacular especially in the evening in the dark with the lighting of the lasers that are going to be out here. it will look really expect —— spectacular.

shortly after her ascension to the throne, the queen was faced with a fast—changing empire as colonies in africa gained independence and became republics. but in 1961 the queen visited ghana, and famously danced with the country's first president, a moment that defined her visit and helped cement relations across the commonwealth. the bbc�*s senior africa correspondent anne soy reports. a controversial visit that became historic. accra, in november 1961. bombs had gone off in the city days before the queen arrived. president kwame nkrumah's statue was ripped off. its remains are today preserved at a memorial park in the capital. this man's father was a cabinet minister at the time. my dad woke us up very early in the morning. the ashantis had, the day before, they pulled everything, all the stops. it was a fantastic day,

beautiful day, colourful day, drums, everything was there. and it left a huge legacy on the minds of ghanaians for quite a long time. it was at a banquet where she made history. a dance with the man who replaced her as head of state of ghana was hugely symbolic. the queen well ahead of her time. but back home, not everyone was ready to embrace the message. the first black man to dance with the queen. it is understood that when the picture was published in the newspaper in the uk, it was withdrawn from circulation. this here in ghana, it struck a chord. if the queen visited here, and it was treated like, oh, this is not quite,

the country as a second—grade one, then i don't think that the commonwealth would have grown the way it did. i don't think the atmosphere that had sustained the commonwealth would ever happen. i think it was critical for the survival of the commonwealth that that visit was such a roaring success. after the dance, the queen came here, and would have gone up that staircase in herflowing gown and into her bedroom which is right behind me. in fact, the bed she slept in that night is still here, preserved to this day. and in the morning, she would have come to this balcony, where i am standing. the impact of her visit has also been felt across generations, through the akosombo dam, the main source of power for ghana and her neighbours. it was the centrepiece of the president's economic plan. the queen helped find the funding to build it.

and this is the lasting legacy of the royal visit that almost didn't happen. anne soy, bbc news, accra. talking about the queen has my cats just after a tame, very excited about that, and like —— weight will be talking about the queen's hats just after 8am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm alison earle. construction on what is said to be the uk's longest railway bridge is getting under way as part of hs2. it'll be built with this machine and, when it's finished, will stretch for more than two miles between hillingdon and the m25. the first phase of hs2, from london to birmingham, is expected to cost

up to £45 billion. they're used by many to commute or deliver goods. well, bikes are now part of scheme in east london to help tackle loneliness. the free service known as a cycling taxi provides short trips for errands or to community centres. the government has just given funding for six more and so far it's a hit with those who've used it. it makes you feel good in yourself, you know. when you are stuck in the house on your own and things like this, it is not very nice — you've got no life. but letting you come on the bike and taking us out — even to the shops, they do — it's very, very good. gowns that have featured on waxworks of the queen at madame tussauds are to go on display to mark her platinum jubilee. the collection includes a copy of the coronation dress. as well as one designed by the royal dressmaker. you'll find them dotted around london and they look like big green sheds.

they're known as cabmen's shelters and provide a rest stop for taxi drivers. there are nowjust 13 left. two in kensington and chelsea have just been awarded grade ii listing to protect them. travel now, and this is how tfl services are. there's no service on the hammersmith and city line while damage to a power cable is fixed. that's also affecting the district line which has no service between barking and upminster. minor delays on the circle line. and there's no service on the 0verground between edmonton green and cheshunt. the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. as we approach the long jubilee bank holiday weekend, we are starting to firm up on the forecast. there will be lots of dry weather for the second half of the week. it will be warming up, some sunshine at times, but still some uncertainty as to whether we will see showers spreading from the south, particularly on sunday, so do keep an eye on the forecast. this morning, locally, another chilly start to the day. not as cold as it was this time yesterday, but temperatures again dropped back in single figures for most of last night. for most last night.

lots of morning brightness around, lots of dry weather. already, some showers starting to develop and there will be a lot more showers as we head through the middle part of the day. some of those showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery. they will be quite slow moving, too, because the winds are light, but they will generally fade away again to leave us with a largely sunny, dry end to the day. top temperatures on a par with yesterday, perhaps a degree or so higher. 0vernight tonight, long clear spells. again, temperatures dropping back into high single figures. and there will be another rash of showers pushing eastwards as we head into wednesday morning. on wednesday, things will turn warmer. again, some showers through the middle part of the day. highs of 20—21 degrees by thursday. that's it for now. but there's lots more on our website at the usual address. now it's back tojon and sally. i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast

with sally nugent and jon kay. teachers in england are calling for all children from families who receive universal credit to be given free school meals. currently only pupils in state schools up to year 2 can get free meals during term time but in a letter to the government, unions are calling for an urgent expansion of the scheme to help those struggling with the rising cost of living. joining us now is headteacher dr nick capstick, who is supporting the campaign. good morning. from the schools you are involved with, children and families you know, what are you seeing right now?— families you know, what are you seeing right now? families you know, what are you seeinr riaht now? ., , seeing right now? good morning. this is an increasingly _ seeing right now? good morning. this is an increasingly difficult _ is an increasingly difficult situation. more and more children are coming in having not had a good meal the night before maybe and even not having breakfast sometimes and this impacts on the way they perform

incredibly upset for the parents. i heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school. and i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane and a teacher coming out and waving all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide. and there was a kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it. they were saying that they go through these drills like, as young children, seven, eight—year—old children, and it's like how? how is that normal that children should be having to go through drills in case someone comes into school with a gun? i don't get it. powerful comments. and we'll have more on that interview with andy murray in an hour's time here on breakfast. he is sitting out the french open. it's a match fitting

of a final but rafa nadal and novak djokovic meet in the last eight of the french open this evening. they share 41 grand slam titles between them — nadal has won 13 at rolland garros, but djokovic famously won their last meeting in paris 12 months ago. he already won i think the last nine matches in a row. winning in rome and now winning here. in straight sets, every match. he will be confident. playing him in roland garros is always a physical battle along with everything else that happens. it's a huge challenge. and probably the biggest one you can have. one man they won't have to worry about facing is stefanos tsitsipas. last year's finalist was surprised by 19—year—old holger rune from denmark. he'd never won at match at a grand slam before this event. the favourite in the women's draw is through to the last eight — iga swiatek was tested though,

with a three—set win over china's zheng qinwen. she's now won her last 32 matches. chelsea has officially been sold to la dodgers part—owner todd boehly, bringing an end to roman abramovich's19—year reign. the deal is thought to be worth £4.25 billion and the confirmation wraps up months part—owner todd boehly, bringing an end to roman the deal is thought to be worth £4.25 billion and the confirmation wraps up months of uncertainty which had threatened the existence of the club. it frees them from uk government sanctions that were imposed on chelsea due to abramovich's alleged ties to russian president vladimir putin. and the special license chelsea were competing on ended on the 31st of may, so in the nick of time. it has taken a while to sort it. we can continue with sport. as we've been hearing, uefa is launching an independent review to understand what caused the chaotic scenes at the champions league final in paris. liverpool fan jade and his 11—year—old son

maxwell travelled to france to watch the game, but instead were fired at with tear gas and were left fearing for their own safety. theyjoin us now from essex. good morning. thanks for talking to us. we know how hard it is to get tickets for a champions league final, almost impossible, especially with it being abroad. what was it like to get tickets and then to have the experience you had? i like to get tickets and then to have the experience you had?— like to get tickets and then to have the experience you had? i mean, yes, caettin the experience you had? i mean, yes, getting tickets. _ the experience you had? i mean, yes, getting tickets, we _ the experience you had? i mean, yes, getting tickets, we were _ the experience you had? i mean, yes, getting tickets, we were over - the experience you had? i mean, yes, getting tickets, we were over the i getting tickets, we were over the moon. it was a chance of a lifetime. my moon. it was a chance of a lifetime. my friend at work is a season ticket holder and unfortunately he could not go. when i told maxwell, he was almost in tears that he was able to go. going there, we travelled through the night, because there were no ferries left. it was quite a

mission to get there. we got to the stadium early, 1pm. and there was not a lot there. we thought we could do some sightseeing. there was not anything there so we sat in a restaurant. it got increasingly busier. liverpool fans started coming more and more. and it was a really great atmosphere. itruiheh coming more and more. and it was a really great atmosphere.— really great atmosphere. when did ou feel it really great atmosphere. when did you feel it started _ really great atmosphere. when did you feel it started to _ really great atmosphere. when did you feel it started to go _ really great atmosphere. when did you feel it started to go wrong? i really great atmosphere. when did you feel it started to go wrong? as you feel it started to go wrong? is soon as we left the restaurant to go to the game. and you started moving towards the stadium. itjust got increasingly busy. we got pushed towards an underpass that went under a dual carriageway. and it got more busy. and we got funnelled towards like a tunnel, where the police had

set up a truck against a brick wall. there was only a small gap for everyone to get through. everybody was getting visibly upset. the liverpool fans were amazing. they were trying to make maxwell feel comfortable. they were just lovely people. i did not see trouble from liverpool fans whatsoever. it took over an hourjust to get through the underpass and through the tunnel to the perimeter of the stadium, which is still open to anyone, that part of the stadium. and it felt a relief to get out of the tunnel. it was quite scary. at that point, we thought we would just walk up to the gate and walk in and that was the end of it. but we were presented with a 300 yard queue and we stood at the back of the queue and waited. everyone was still quite jovial and

excited. we still had over an hour and a half until kick—off but the queue did not move. i saw what looked like local people, three or four, go over the fence and make a run for the stadium. some got in. and we stood there and stood there and as time went on, people were getting annoyed. they felt maybe they were going to miss the start of they were going to miss the start of the game. we started getting messages saying the game was delayed which we were happy about because we thought we would miss it. i don't know what happened, but the next thing, wejust had gas... i did not see them spray it but it came through all the fans. maxwell was panicking. the fans were saying get him to the floor. pushed him down,

covered his face with scars. and my face. 0ur eyes were stinging. it was a horrible experience. the police came to the gate again and they were holding canisters. at that point, i pulled him out of the queue and thought enough is enough. i don't want to risk his safety any more. maxwell, i cannot imagine what this must have felt like. how are you now? �* , ., , ., must have felt like. how are you now? �* , ., , now? are you ok? yes, i am better now, now? are you ok? yes, i am better now. thanks- — now? are you ok? yes, i am better now, thanks. what _ now? are you ok? yes, i am better now, thanks. what was _ now? are you ok? yes, i am better now, thanks. what was the - now? are you ok? yes, i am better. now, thanks. what was the experience like? at the time, — now, thanks. what was the experience like? at the time, i— now, thanks. what was the experience like? at the time, i had _ now, thanks. what was the experience like? at the time, i had no _ now, thanks. what was the experience like? at the time, i had no idea - like? at the time, i had no idea what was _ like? at the time, i had no idea what was happening _ like? at the time, i had no idea what was happening because i like? at the time, i had no idea - what was happening because everyone was pushing me to the ground. and telling me to cover my face with a scar~ _ and telling me to cover my face with a scar~ i_ and telling me to cover my face with a scar. i heard someone say the police _ a scar. i heard someone say the police had — a scar. i heard someone say the police had sprayed gas. i thought it was poisonous. my lips were stinging and so _ was poisonous. my lips were stinging and so were — was poisonous. my lips were stinging and so were my eyes. i thought i was

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the cost of living crisis in the classroom. teachers call for more children in england to be given free school meals to stop them going hungry. european football's governing body announces an independent investigation into the chaos that marred the champions league final in paris. half term holiday nightmare. more than 30,000 people have faced cancelled flights as airport disruptions continue, why�*s it happening? and what are your rights when things go wrong? andy murray, who survived the dunblane attack, tells us about his shock at the latest school shooting in america. i heard something on the radio the other day, it was a child, from that school, you know. and i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane,

a teacher coming out and waving at all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide. good morning. the next couple of days will be bright spells, sunshine and showers, some will be heavy and thundery but something drier is coming our way for most of us for thursday. all of the details later in the programme. it's tuesday 31st may. our main story. more children in england should be given free school meals to support those families struggling with the cost of living crisis, according to teachers. teaching unions have written to the governnment asking for an urgent expansion of the scheme to prevent children going hungry. alice key reports. lunch is served at this half term holiday club in stockport. staff here are responsible for keeping 20 children a day

fed and entertained. but as rising prices start to hit parents' pockets, there are fears that without more support, children could go hungry. we know that a lot of the families who come here are living in food poverty. and have certainly been impacted since the cost of living increases, as well. and many of them aren't on free school meals. 0urfood banks have always run in the mornings and suddenly people are asking if they can come at night, because people are working full time and still can't make ends meet. in a letter to the government, teaching unions say they want the free school meals scheme extended to include all children from families who receive universal credit. they say missing meals can have a serious impact on concentration and behaviour during lessons. to prepare and provide a hot, nutritious school meal every single day for every single child is a way of creating a break between food poverty and also healthy young people who can thrive at school and do well at school because,

without good food, you just don't survive or do well at school. currently in england, all infant state school pupils up to year two get free school meals during term time. but from year three upwards, your household income must be below £7,1i00 a year. in northern ireland, the cap is set higher at ili,000 a year. and scotland and wales have recently committed to rolling out free meals for all primary pupils. the latest call for change follows footballer marcus rashford's successful campaign during the pandemic to extend free school meal vouchers during holidays. but even he admits there is a long way to go. the department for education says more families than ever now have access to free school meals and they are providing over £15 billion of support to those hit hardest by rising costs. but teachers in england now urgently want to see the government go further. alice key, bbc news.

european football's governing body, uefa, has commissioned an independent inquiry into the chaotic scenes that delayed saturday's champions league final between liverpool and real madrid in paris. it comes after french officials yesterday blamed liverpool supporters with fake tickets for the disruption. but the liverpool chairman has demanded an apology and called the organisation of the event one of the worst security collapses in recent memory. james reynolds reports. how did the entry to the stade de france descend into chaos? why did the french police use tear gas and pepper spray against liverpool fans? in a press conference yesterday, france's sports minister, amelie oudea—castera, continued to blame ticketless liverpool fans and fake

tickets for the issues. this is disputed by fans, and the club, whose chairman has demanded an apology. writing to ms oudea—castera, tom werner said... he added... uefa will now carry out its own review to examine what it describes as the decision—making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved. liverpool fans caught up in saturday's trouble have reacted cautiously. there has to be a little bit of a,

"well, we got this wrong" from uefa and the french authorities so far in terms of what they have claimed. if there needs to be an independent report, then what they have claimed so far, they must know, is inaccurate. it's important that that bit happens as well. i'm pleased that there will be an independent report, if indeed it is truly independent. but within france, there are questions about the government's actions and explanations. the country's independent police commissioners union has told the bbc that supporters were not the main problem, and pointed to a need for more officers on the ground. the interior minister says that in future, tickets to major events will be digital. the authorities in france will be under great pressure to get their procedures right ahead of next year when the same venue will host the opening match of the men's rugby union world cup. and all eyes will once again be on the french capital a year later when the world heads to paris for the summer olympic games. james reynolds, bbc news.

european union leaders have agreed a plan to ban two thirds of oil imports from russia. the deal has been hailed as a major blow to russia's ability to wage war in ukraine. our kyiv correspondentjames waterhouse joins us now. this is something that ukrainians have been calling for, isn't it? for a lona have been calling for, isn't it? for a long time. _ have been calling for, isn't it? fr?" a long time, even before this invasion, ukraine was asking western allies, look what russia is doing. building more than 150,000 troops on the borders. we need to put them off now, and send a message. but western allies said in reply, sanctions, punishments only work if it is in response to something. that something has well and truly happened, ukraine continually finds itself under this full—scale invasion, albeit with the fighting

or concentrated in the east. this is a sizeable intervention. the european union spends hundreds of billions every year on russia's oil and gas. this will ban in point —— imports on two thirds of russian oil which will affect the russian war machine, the ability to replenish soldiers with weaponry and supplies as it looks to sustain assaults on the east of the country. we are hearing more edible overnight in the eastern city of severodonetsk continues to be fiercely contested. this is significant but president zelensky has been irritated at getting more irritated in what he sees as the lack of decision—making in europe, but it seems like they are on the same page for now. what effect that will have will have time to pan out on the battlefield. thank ou ve to pan out on the battlefield. thank you very much. _ to pan out on the battlefield. thank you very much, james, _ to pan out on the battlefield. thank you very much, james, live - to pan out on the battlefield. thank you very much, james, live in - to pan out on the battlefield. thank you very much, james, live in kyiv. |

southern isles, but for the west of england they continue with the showers at the rain in northern ireland, and in scotland. not all of us will catch a shower but if you do it could be heavy, thundery and slow—moving. through the rest of the night, rain in northern ireland pushing south and east, into south—west scotland and north—west england and wales. we will cease some mist and fog for weight with a few showers persisting in the east leading us into tomorrow with fewer showers and more sunshine than today. we are supposed to be having a little street party at 9am tomorrow. get your brolly! fir little street party at 9am tomorrow. get your brolly!— get your brolly! or cancel it or move it inside! _ get your brolly! or cancel it or move it inside! all _ get your brolly! or cancel it or move it inside! all are - get your brolly! or cancel it or move it inside! all are good. l get your brolly! or cancel it or l move it inside! all are good. we get your brolly! or cancel it or - move it inside! all are good. we are havinu move it inside! all are good. we are havin: a move it inside! all are good. we are having a street _ move it inside! all are good. we are having a street party _ move it inside! all are good. we are having a street party tomorrow. - move it inside! all are good. we are having a street party tomorrow. we| having a street party tomorrow. we have

some rehearsals carrying on, the last one was last night, the military rehearsal overnight on the quiet streets. the army, navy and air force taking part in a rehearsal for their part in a pageant on sunday afternoon, following their route. the rehearsal has included the first sight of the gold state coach which will be part of the pageant on sunday afternoon. we have not seen that coach out on the streets of london for 20 years. it formed part of the rehearsal overnight. it was quite a spectacle to see it here in the early hours of the morning through central london. all eyes of course over the weekend will be on the queen, as they have been over the past 70 years. even at the age of 96, she is still

something of a fashion icon. i have been looking back at the queen prospect distinct sense of style. from the grand state occasion to classic country casual, to solid royal engagement dressing. the queen has a formula that has worked for 70 years. for close observers of her style, they see considerable fashion planning. the queen's look can be a diplomatic statement in itself. when she visited saudi arabia in the 1970s, she created a wardrobe with the designer hardy amies that would be appropriate for that tour. so we saw lots of long sleeves, lots of long lengths, she also had matching turbans as well. and she wore these outfits to events where she was one of the only women in attendance. you know, she has really had that kind of power on the world stage and created a wardrobe to fit that role.

and accessories are key to that wardrobe. there is the hat, the gloves and of course, her trusted handbag. in a quiet corner of walsall in the west midlands, the queen's favourite handbags are made. she has been loyal to the launer brand throughout her reign, as she has with many british fashion lines and designers. there is nothing like seeing her using one of our handbags at an event. it gives us great pride in the craftsmanship that we have produced that bag. the queen's coronation dress was perhaps her first big fashion moment. all eyes were on the norman hartnell design, every detail analysed. evelyn morris was 17 years old when she helped make the coronation dress, and she had a specific role on the day in westminster abbey. herjob was to ensure that the dress looked perfect throughout. i had a better seat than most of the best of the dukes and duchesses because i didn't have a seat. i was roaming the abbey,

i could go where i liked, because i was on duty. very honoured, really, and proud. and it was a lovely dress. it flowed nicely, it was cut really well. it couldn't have been better. a beautiful dress and she looked lovely in it. very honoured to be part of it, really. in her 90s, where are the queen's fashion influences now? well, take a look at london fashion week in 2018. the queen, vogue editor anna wintour, and angela kelly, the personal assistant to the queen. her position here a sign of her status within the royal household. angela kelly is a designer of much of the monarch's current wardrobe and a trusted confidante to the queen. there have been few wardrobe surprises over the past 70 years. little pandering to trends. but the queen's clothes have added to her status as a public figure. her uniformity of appearance, the way she has managed to create a uniform,

essentially, for herself, her particular look, her particular style. she never felt the need to update, change with the era. essentially, she had looked the same for all these years. it's enormously reassuring. her look over 70 years has been safe, reliable, practical, and consistent. much like her reign. daniela relph, bbc news. are we likely to see much of the queen over the weekend? i am guessing she will not be there the whole time. guessing she will not be there the whole time-— whole time. that's right, sally, it is a big question, _ whole time. that's right, sally, it is a big question, how— whole time. that's right, sally, it is a big question, how much - whole time. that's right, sally, it is a big question, how much of. whole time. that's right, sally, it| is a big question, how much of the queen will iactually see during the jubilee weekend? the position of buckingham palace —— will we a chilly see. the key factor will be just how easy it is for her to get to places and get into a position where she can watch events and people can see her. we will see her

on the balcony we hope after trooping the colour on thursday, it hoped she will attend the thanksgiving service on friday. saturday had initially been in the plans, that might be a step too far because of the amount of moving around at epsom, that could be too difficult. the concert on saturday night, i don't think we will see her there. at the end of the pageant on sunday, there is a hope she will make a final appearance on the balcony at buckingham palace all being well. balcony at buckingham palace all bein: well. �* ., , ., being well. apologies for the clitches being well. apologies for the glitches in — being well. apologies for the glitches in the _ being well. apologies for the glitches in the shop - being well. apologies for the glitches in the shop there. i being well. apologies for the glitches in the shop there. a | being well. apologies for the - glitches in the shop there. a few grammars this morning. we glitches in the shop there. a few grammars this morning.- glitches in the shop there. a few grammars this morning. we got the list of it. grammars this morning. we got the gist of it- -- — grammars this morning. we got the gist of it- -- we _ grammars this morning. we got the gist of it. -- we had _ grammars this morning. we got the gist of it. -- we had some - grammars this morning. we got the gist of it. -- we had some gremlinl gist of it. -- we had some gremlin thes. the question is, will she be wearing a hat over the weekend? one person who knows a thing or two about royal styling is hat designer rachel trevor—morgan,

who has made more than 60 hats for the queen, which have been worn at occasions like the royal ascot, and her diamond wedding celebration with the duke of edinburgh at westminster abbey. racheljoins us now from her studio in south london. good morning, rachel. with an array of absolutely gorgeous hat behind you. of absolutely gorgeous hat behind ou. . ~' of absolutely gorgeous hat behind ou. . ~ , ., of absolutely gorgeous hat behind ou. . ~ ,, you of absolutely gorgeous hat behind you-_ you have - of absolutely gorgeous hat behind you._ you have been i you. thank you. you have been designing _ you. thank you. you have been designing hats _ you. thank you. you have been designing hats for— you. thank you. you have been designing hats for the - you. thank you. you have been designing hats for the queen . you. thank you. you have been l designing hats for the queen for many years, what other things that you look for, what are the rules about making a hat for the queen? there are not any particular rules, it is about making hat for the individuals. i have been making the ball very —— them for many years. i work with her designers and i take my cue from them and from the outfit at the dress she is wearing. {links

construction on what said to be the uk's longest railway bridge is getting under way as part of hs2. it'll be built with this machine and will stretch for more than two miles between hillingdon and the m25. the first phase of hs2, from london to birmingham, is expected to cost up to £115 billion. specially designed bikes are part of a scheme in east london to help tackle loneliness. the free service known as a cycling taxi provides short trips for errands. the government has just given funding for six more and so far it's a hit with those who've used it. it makes you feel good in yourself, you know. when you are stuck in the house on your own and things like this, it is not very nice — you've got no life. but letting you come on the bike and taking us out — even to the shops, they do — it's very, very good. gowns that have featured on waxworks of the queen at madame tussauds are to go on display

to mark her platinum jubilee. the collection includes a copy of the coronation dress. as well as one designed by the royal dressmaker. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking . there's no service on the hammersmith and city line while a power cable is being fixed. that's affecting the district line which has no service between barking and upminster. and there's no service on the 0verground between edmonton green and cheshunt. the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. as we approach the long jubilee bank holiday weekend, we are starting to firm up on the forecast. there will be lots of dry weather for the second half of the week. it will be warming up, some sunshine at times, but still some uncertainty as to whether we will see showers spreading from the south, particularly on sunday, so do keep an eye on the forecast. this morning, locally, another chilly start to the day. not as cold as it was this time yesterday, but temperatures again dropped back in single figures

for most of last night. for most last night. lots of morning brightness around, lots of dry weather. already, some showers starting to develop and there will be a lot more showers as we head through the middle part of the day. some of those showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery. they will be quite slow moving, too, because the winds are light, but they will generally fade away again to leave us with a largely sunny, dry end to the day. top temperatures on a par with yesterday, perhaps a degree or so higher. overnight tonight, long clear spells. again, temperatures dropping back into high single figures. and there will be another rash of showers pushing eastwards as we head into wednesday morning. on wednesday, things will turn warmer. again, some showers through the middle part of the day. highs of 20—21 degrees by thursday. that's it for now. but there's lots more on our website at the usual address. now it's back tojon and sally. i'm backjust after nine. hello, this is breakfast

withjon kay and sally nugent. we will be talking to harry hill later about a musical he has written. which is not exactly traditional. it is about tony blair. pictures of long queues at airports have become commonplace since travel restarted after the pandemic. however, with half—term in full flow, the problems in the travel industry are causing major issues for families hoping to head off on holiday. nina's with us and has the latest. some awful stories. your heart goes out to people. you pin so much emotional hope on getting on the plane and you get through the winter, look forward and then you cannot get on the plane. welcome to the breakfast airways departure lounge. unlike many airports across the uk, it is quiet in here today. away from here, airports and airlines have really struggled with recruitment. cabin crew, baggage handlers,

security staff, the people who move the ramps around so you can get on board safely. manchester, bristol and gatwick have made the headlines. but the struggle to recruit staff and get them security cleared is impacting most sites. this was the scene at manchester airport yesterday morning. and this was bristol over the weekend. imagine that if you suffer from claustrophobia. easyjet have cancelled about 240 half—term flights — in their words, in order to be able to provide a reliable service. in other words — not enough staff, as well as it and air traffic control issues. andy was supposed to be on one of them, instead his first family holiday in three years is off. we said we would fly anywhere, we will fly anywhere you can get us, no flights anywhere for three days. it's not just. ..

i'm sure i will get the money back but it is also the fact that we spent 200 quid on a hotel last night, we spent 100 quid on a meal last night and probably another 150 this morning on various different things. parking cost us another 150 quid, i will probably never see any of that back from easyjet. i am hugely disappointed in how they handled this whole situation and the position they put their customer services people here into. it is not just it is notjust easyjet. ba, tui and vueling have also had to make cancellations. airlines are facing criticism. they were given furlough support over the pandemic to keep staff on, and these big getaway pinch periods are in the diary well in advance, so why are they still not able to cope? rory boland, the travel editor of which, joins us from east london. good morning. they did know this period was coming, they were supported by furlough, how has it come to this? it is

is in theory the idea of challenging the airport over something called frustrated contract but that would almost certainly require going to court. i am sorry to say that at the moment there is no immediate route for compensation. it is worth looking at travel insurance, some may cover the missed departure. john obviously did what he was told, got to the airport on time. worth contacting your insurance and ask the airline, they might help with rescheduling but it is based on goodwill. if we want people compensated because of the airport and missing flights, it is for the government to step in. we have seen that in dublin, the irish government have said this is not working, the airport needs to compensate these people. it airport needs to compensate these --eole. , . airport needs to compensate these ”eole. ,., ., , airport needs to compensate these --eole. ., , ., , airport needs to compensate these neale, , ., ., , ., , ., people. it is a worry it falls into the re people. it is a worry it falls into the grey area- _ people. it is a worry it falls into

almost certainly have to cough up for the £700. i am afraid it will be a lengthy process. the next step is to go to alternative dispute resolution. you can find the right company for easyjet on the civil aviation authority website. you could either be re—routed or claim a refund from the airline, you cannot take both. if easyjet say they are happy to give a refund, do not take that because you want to chase the £700 are not the £100 for the originalflight. £700 are not the £100 for the original flight.— £700 are not the £100 for the original flight. buying the second flirht is original flight. buying the second flight is reliant _ original flight. buying the second flight is reliant on _ original flight. buying the second flight is reliant on having - original flight. buying the second flight is reliant on having the - flight is reliant on having the money to afford that. brian has just got back from an anniversary celebration but on the flight out from heathrow their flight with emirates was delayed six hours. they were on the tarmac, no food and water, missed their connection. they got a later flight. water, missed their connection. they got a laterflight. they lost 24—hour is of their holiday and had no clothes when they arrive. where

can afford to go away. it is a luxury many cannot afford and the travel industry is worried it will make the problem worse with people thinking it is not worth it. it is interesting. so many people have told us they have not decided yet what to do this summer, whether to go away, whether they can afford to go away, whether they can afford to go away, whether they can afford to go abroad, whether they will stay in this country. i wonder what those pictures, those scenes... it is the pictures. i think people might be put off from flying. the airlines and airports need to know how many people are going away this summer so they can plan. and have enough time to get people trained up and get security checks, which takes longer than you would expect. keep your comments coming. that is something we will keep a cross in the days ahead. meanwhile, some sport. you have an incredible interview with andy murray. he has grown over the years in terms

of his stature, who he is on and off the court, the comments he gives. the place he takes within these talks we have about a range of issues. he has now spoken out about the school shooting we saw in the us. he says he is angry and upset. and he told the bbc that recent shooting brought back memories of his own experience surviving the dunblane massacre of 1996. in a wide—ranging interview, he also shared his thoughts on the decision to ban russian and belarusian players from wimbledon following the invasion of ukraine, and shared his own ambitions for the future. laura scott reports. andy murray was busy preparing for the grass court season when he saw the news of the latest mass shooting in america. of a primary school in texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed

by an 18—year—old gunman. on social media, murray described the incident as madness, and one survivor's account in particular brought back painful memories of the horrific shootings that took place at his own school in dunblane in 1996. unbelievably sad and disappointing and itjust makes you feel angry and incredibly upset for the parents. i heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school. i experienced a similar thing when i was at dunblane and a teacher coming out and waving all of the children under tables and telling them to go and hide. and there was a kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it. they were saying that they go through these drills as young children, seven, eight—year—old children, and it's like how? how is that normal that children should be having to go through drills in case someone comes into school with a gun?

i don't get it. murray feels strongly that the time has come for change. you know, i get over there, and there is always talk about it being something political. but i don't see how it is. i don't think anyone wants to see things like that happening. my feeling is that surely, at some stage, you do something different. like you can't keep approaching the problem by buying more guns and having more guns in the country. i don't see how that solves it. other issues on his mind include the fallout from the war in ukraine and the decision by wimbledon to ban russian and belarusian players from this year's event. i understand why wimbledon took the decision, because of the guidance that was in place at the time from the government. i can also appreciate the players' perspective, that aren't allowed to play. i have spoken to a number of them. i am friends with some of them,

so i talk to them about it and i can understand why it is frustrating for them, as well. i don't think there was necessarily a right decision. and, yeah, it's a very difficult one. as punishment, there will be no ranking points available to players at sw19 this year. but murray thinks it will have a little consequence or benefit. in terms of the points, the atp removing the points from wimbledon, i just don't think it's what the majority of the players wanted. and i am not quite sure who it actually benefits because i think all of the players will still turn up and play, so i'm not sure how beneficial it is. the former world number one was speaking after a confident victory at the surbiton trophy, a tournament he is playing for the first time since he was 17. now 35, he is back because he knows he needs matches under his belt before wimbledon. i do have high expectations

for myself and, hopefully, i can perform well the next few weeks. and that's kind of, i guess, second week of a slam and stringing wins together? yeah. um, yeah. i mean, i want to do better than just making the second week. and, yeah, i want to be winning matches consistently on the tour, which maybe hasn't been the case for large parts of the last 18 months or so, but i still believe that i can get back to that level. even if murray's ambitions haven't diminished in recent years, his chances of fulfilling them have so often been hampered by injury. so his goals on the grass do rely on his body holding up. physically, right now, ifeel like i am in good shape. you know, it wasn't the case coming into the grass court season last year. so i'm happy that i feel good. like i said, i got a lot of practice on the grass under my belt this year and, hopefully, yeah, the

body stays that way. murray's sporting focus isn't only on tennis, with scotland facing ukraine in the world cup play—off semifinal tomorrow night. i think my brother has already booked tickets, just in case scotland get there. but i might be playing here, so i don't know if i will get the chance to watch it. but i would love to. scotland haven't played in a world cup since i think it was '98, but it is a long time ago. yeah. so i was nine or ten years old at the time, so i'm hoping they can do it. they have got a good team now, so let's see. as he embarks on another bid at wimbledon glory, it is clear events around the world are neverfarfrom murray's mind. laura scott, bbc news. really powerful comments from andy murray. a quick reaction, looking at the paper is reacting to the story

surrounding the champions league final. we know there is going to be an independent investigation. some comments from the french minister and government about widescale ticket fraud they said. it prompted angerfrom liverpool. liverpool anger from liverpool. liverpool calling angerfrom liverpool. liverpool calling for the french to apologise. tom weren has written to the french minister asking to apologise —— tom werner. it is going into a bit of a blame game. in the daily mail... it seems to be going in terms of blame, where will it go? so this independent investigation is important. as is all the evidence that will be gathered and there will be a lot of it. some of it is really personal. pointing the finger atjurgen klopp

saying he told people to go out there without tickets. and not being treated right by the authorities where a lot of anger has come from in this reaction. not surprising when you see images from saturday night. thank you. shall we have a singsong? you don't want to hear me sing. think of a stage musical and you probably think jazz—hands and tap shoes. a rock opera parodying the life of the former prime minister tony blair takes to the stage this week — looking at his time as a long—haired rocker in a university band to his years in power at number 10. it's been created by the comedian harry hill, and the composer and lyricist steve brown. we will talk to them in a moment. here's a behind—the—scenes look at the cast in rehearsal. we don't have that at the moment so we will speak to harry and steve
