good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today: the queen takes centre stage at the end of four days of platinum jubilee celebrations and sends a message of thanks to the nation. from street parties and bonfires to parades and concerts — one estimate says nearly 17 million people took part. pressure on the pm — there's mounting speculation borisjohnson could face a confidence vote within days. good morning from the cardiff city stadium, where wales�* 64—year wait to get to the world cup came

to an end last night. gareth bale�*s deflected strike was enough to give them the win over ukraine and a reason for wild celebrations on and off the pitch. to do what we've done for this nation, put them on the world stage, the world map. everything we do for the world map. everything we do for the fans, and that is what we have tried to do for them. a perfect storm for renters. there's been a big rise in rents and a drop in the number of properties available — we'll take a look at what's going on. hello from the british normandy memorial were today commemorations will take place to mark 78 years since d—day. and for the first time, veterans will be able to come here on this day to remember their fallen comrades. good morning. we have a wet start to the day across central and eastern england, that will then clear and for most of us it will be cloudy with some showers. the exception for

thatis with some showers. the exception for that is scotland, where once again it will be sunny and warm. all the details coming up. good morning. it is monday, honestly! it's monday the 6th ofjune. our main story. the queen has said she is "humbled and deeply touched" by the response to her platinum jubilee following four days of celebrations to mark her 70 years on the throne. in a written statement, she said she'd been inspired by the "kindness, joy and kinship" on display during the extended weekend. our royal correspondent daniela relph takes a look back at an unprecedented national party. cheering she was the star of the show, and it was her grand finale. the queen began the celebrations on the balcony here, and this is where they ended after a weekend of pomp, partying and pagea ntry. the last day of celebrations brought a sense of carnival to central london, a quirky trip through the seven decades of

the queen's reign in the royal box. grandad charles was put in temporary charge of a lively prince louis. as the party ended, the queen issued a message of thanks, saying, "i have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my platinum jubilee. "while i may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all, and i remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family." i think it's what we want to say. long live the queen, and let it continue. wasn't she beautiful? i didn't know if we would be able to see her. but it was lovely, wasn't it? it was so nice to hear the national anthem and all to sing. it was a bit emotional, actually. extremely, delightfully— overwhelming, butjust wonderful.

fantastic, crowd, fantastic people. and to see the queen, that was that was the most important thing. the images of the weekend will linger. lifelong memories made for some. a chance to see those who were back in the royal fold. the celebrations were for the queen, but without her presence at some events as her family stepped in. thejubilee has been a reminder of the frailty of the monarch and how future public appearances will be carefully managed. the weekend, though, has solved one mystery. we now know what the queen keeps in her trusted handbag. perhaps you would like a marmalade sandwich. i always keep one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here. for later.

the stage around buckingham palace is now being pulled down as this part of london returns to normal. it has been a jubilee filled with reflection, but it's ended looking firmly to the future. the final family get together. a look at the future shape of the monarchy. a son, grandson and great grandson, three future kings. but as onejubilee tribute put it, with one current queen still in the saddle. daniela ralph, bbc news, buckingham palace. what an incredible few days. i think for me, the highlight was definitely the marmalade sandwich in the handbag. and prince louis. prince louis and paddington together, you have got perfection. that would be chaos! we are exhausted, goodness knows how

the queen is feeling. yes, and it is actually monday, everyone. mps return to westminster today amid growing speculation that borisjohnson could face a vote on his leadership. at least 28 conservative mps have written letters of no confidence in the prime minister to party chiefs. 5a are needed to trigger a ballot over his future. our political correspondent helen catt is in westminster. good morning, helen. how and when would we find out if a vote is triggered? we would find out when sir graham moody, the chair of the 1922 committee, the committee made up of all conservative mps who aren't ministers, when he says he is announcing it to the media if that has been reached. if that happens, borisjohnson by has been reached. if that happens, boris johnson by that has been reached. if that happens, borisjohnson by that point has been reached. if that happens, boris johnson by that point would already know, because if that threshold is reached, those 5a letters, and it is 5a because it is 15% of mps. what he does as he first

notifies downing street and the prime minister, and then they come up prime minister, and then they come up with a timetable for running the vote of no confidence. that could be quite fast, so you could have it announced in the morning and held in the evening, and it is a secret process, a secret ballot of all conservative mps to remove a leader 180 conservative mps would have to vote that they had no confidence in him, that is 50% of the party plus one. we don't know because this is a secret process how close or otherwise that threshold is to being reached. as you said, 28 conservative mps have publicly said they think the prime minister should go. it's thought most of those have written letters. but it is a secret process and we simply don't know, it is guesswork at this stage. but i think there wouldn't be any surprise in westminster if it were to happen in westminster if it were to happen in the next couple of days. if not, another flashpoint people are talking about his after those by—elections on june talking about his after those by—elections onjune the 23rd in tiverton and honiton and whiteford.

helen, thank you very much indeed. the uk is sending its first long—range missiles to ukraine, despite a threat from vladimir putin that such a move could prompt russian strikes on new targets. the defence secretary ben wallace confirmed the decision after the us made a similar announcement last week. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, this is a potentially significant moment, isn't it? absolutely. the fight that we are seeing now in the east of the country really is an artillery battle, and russia brings some of the biggest guns to this game. they have got these huge long range multiple launch rocket systems and massive artillery pieces, and they have used those over the course of this water pound ukrainian position into submission. we saw that in mariupol and we have seen it in other areas as well. these new systems being used by the americans and the brits will not match them in terms of firepower, but it will

match them in terms of range and accuracy. they are gps guided systems, we understand, and will allow them to target russian positions, so whereas the russians sent over by writers of artillery and pound areas to smithereens, which is why you see so many civilian casualties, so much destruction of towns and cities in population centres. what these will be able to do, we understand is to accurately target within say five metres using gps technology the places that they want to hit. that will mean when you get these counter barrages, these artillery battles, the ukrainians will be able to be much more accurate, and that will allow them to quickly wear down the russian capabilities. of course the challenge is notjust promising the systems but delivering them, getting them to the front lines and getting people trained up in their use. that is not going to happen straightaway, but when it does, when the system to get into the fight, people are saying they could be a real game changer. saying they could be a real game chanaer. . ~ i. a shortage of nurses is posing

a risk to patient safety and causing even more to leave the profession. that's according to the royal college of nursing, which says that only a quarter of shifts had the planned number of registered nurses on duty. the government says it's recruiting thousands more nurses and that action is being taken to tackle the covid backlog. transport for london is advising against travel on the underground today as thousands of staff go on strike. large parts of the network will be closed as members of the rmt union take the action in a row over jobs and pensions. the disruption is expected to continue until tomorrow morning. a surge in ca thefts has been linked to a shortage of parts, with criminals stripping the components and selling them on for high prices. an average of 244 vehicles are being stolen every day, the equivalent of one every six minutes, according to figures released by police forces in the uk. south yorkshire and the city of london saw the sharpest rise in thefts.

it's ten past six. the weather was... mixed! it was all right in places. what has the next week got its talk was much now we are back in work, it is bound to be brilliant! you will be glad to hear it is not. good morning, everybody! it was a wet day in general yesterday, some of us got away with quite a dry day, especially scotland and northern ireland, and when we lose this morning's rain it is going to be a drier start to the week but then it turns wet and windy. friday is looking particularly windy, and we are looking at average temperatures. at the moment we do have quite a bit of cloud and rain, murky conditions across central, southern and south—eastern england, that will pull away leaving behind it in its wake a lot of cloud with a few showers for england and wales. a cloudy day too for northern ireland, with one or two brighter breaks, and after this morning's cloud in southern and eastern scotland, that

will break up and for you it will be another dry, sunny and warm day. you might catch the odd shower across the north west. temperatures ranging from 13 to about 20 degrees. through this evening and overnight, you can see where we have got this band of rain scooting across southern counties of england. this system coming in from the north sea bringing more clap for carers to north—east england in south—east scotland, and the odd spot of rain, and these our overnight lows, 9—111. this band of cloud and rain pushes it to the south—east and clears, and there are some sunshine, just a few showers, but laterwe there are some sunshine, just a few showers, but later we have heavier rain showing, so to quote sal, this weekend is looking mixed. we will cope, we all have smiles on

ourfaces. how are we will cope, we all have smiles on our faces. how are you, we will cope, we all have smiles on ourfaces. how are you, carol? you had a beacon up their insult cut. what we are abiding memories, what did you think of the weekend? i have found memories of meeting her majesty, but also just the excitement in the air this weekend. we went out for lunch with some french, which was just fabulous, there was a street party where i was as well, that it was just brilliant. i will never forget it. what about yourselves? yourselves ? we yourselves? we had a good weekend, partying and seeing friends and family, dodging the showers. we are just going to do the showers. we are just going to do the papers, actually. they are just dominated by those images which are fantastic. i know it was on television most of the weekend, but the images in the papers this morning are really special. all the papers focusing

on the queen's platinum jubilee. the mirror's front page shows the queen with her great—grandson prince george on the buckingham palace balcony yesterday. the mail — "my heart has been with you all" is the headline on the front of the mail — that's a quote from the queen's written thank you message to the public. this acknowledging that she was not there in person during the weekend, but she was there at the beginning and at the end. the telegraph says the queen reaffirmed her "commitment to serve the nation" during the close of the jubilee, despite being forced to miss much of the long weekend's events because of her mobility issues. and we have talked about those on the programme. and the times interprets the choice of which royals were on the balcony yesterday — saying the "slimmed—down" group symbolises the future of the monarchy. we used to see those packed balconies, with everybody there, trying to spot who was who. but this time it was the direct line of descendants. can we talk about louis? this weekend was about one person, and it was louis.

prince louis stole the show a little bit in the royal box. fantastic pictures. and there he is, that is right at the start, not looking particularly impressed. anyone with children will understand keeping them amused while on show and well behaved, and that one is my favourite. it is quite something. they are all just favourite. it is quite something. they are alljust ignoring him. and in the mirror today, a brilliant shot of mike tindall doing that to him saying, i have got my eyes are new. i love that they didn't take him to the concert on friday —— saturday night. and at one point apparently princess charlotte told him to stop waving because he was too enthusiastic. that is the three children they're looking at the crowd. and i love the dynamic between the three of them, big brother and big sister. got to be careful there,

louis! and his brother's face says it all. that classic kid move, put your hand over your mum's mouth. i don't like what you are saying, please stop talking. we could do with a louis cam, where you could press the red button and just watch him all weekend. he was so well behaved, and at times just a tiny little bit bored. he was brilliant. can we just say on these pictures all morning? vehemently disagree with his mum there. when they are all waving, he doesn't. .. there. when they are all waving, he doesn't... and was that the red arrows moment? it was quite loud. it was loud. love it. i'm just reading here in the daily mail that you know the marmalade sandwiches, the paddington bear, they have got an inside scoop here today, they

call it 0peration marmalade and they are saying it was all top secret. imagine keeping that secret for however long it took them to make that film. this is what we are talking about, this gorgeous film that was shown over the weekend, paddington meeting her majesty for tea at the palace. gulping. 0h, terribly sorry. never mind. 0h, oh, dear. perhaps you would like a

marmalade sandwich? i always keep one for emergencies. so marmalade sandwich? i always keep one for emergencies.— marmalade sandwich? i always keep one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here- _ one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here. for— one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here. for later. _ mine in here. for later. cheering her majesty the queen has the most impeccable comic timing. new like she is fantastic, and what now we know what is in the handbag. i'm sure she has met more challenging people and that before over the years. it was filmed in march, it saysin years. it was filmed in march, it says in the daily mail, do not even prince charles knew it had happened, so when we saw their reactions in the crowds, that was real. they were shocked. and you wouldn't tell prince louis, would you? you would share it. you might not get him tojoin in either! we have seen the royal family's pictures. we would love to

see your pictures this morning, because they have been some crackers on social media. this is from james who posted this video of his neighbour steve. this is their very own red arrows fly past. with the trailing smoke and everything. budget edition, isn't that fantastic? here he comes again. louis would have coped with the noise of that one. and we have another one here, ten—year—old sam who was outside drumming over the weekend, complete with union flags. i don't know where the neighbours are, i think they have probably gone out the back! i know, let's take the drum kit outside, shall we? we would love to see any more of your photos, your videos, do get in touch with us in the usual ways this morning and we will share those throughout the programme. we will be focusing on the best moments of the weekend throughout the morning, so

asjon says, do get in touch. now, back to business. higher rents, bidding wars and fewer available properties. it's really tough at the moment for renters. ben can tell us what's going on. good morning to you. we are all feeling the cost of living pressures, and there are worries that renters, people paying to live in their home, are being hit harder than most because of a bit of a perfect storm of different factors. let me explain the detail of that. a very good morning. in england, nearly 40% of households are paying to live in their home, paying rent. about a third own the place outright, and the remaining third pay a mortgage. about 4 million people live in social housing, and more than 4 million rent from private landlords. but like everything, the cost of renting has gone up. the national average asking rent, and this covers all property types, is at the highest ever level, outside london it has gone up 11% in the past year to nearly £1100 per

month. but that isn't the only issue. on average, letting agents have seen the number of available rentals on their books half, from just over 30 each to just 15. this is being blamed on tax changes and reforms to the market, putting off landlords. all that means is that some people are having to pay above the monthly asking price, fork out a big deposit or even somehow prove their children and pets aren't going to cause problems if they want to rent somewhere. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been finding out more. i'll take you into the kitchen first. this is cherie's sanctuary. this is where i, you know, let off some steam on the piano. she moved from london to nottingham a couple of years ago to make her rent stretch further. she loves this place. this is where i chill after a very long day of teaching. but, as time ticks on, there is a worry in the back of her mind.

i am in a vulnerable position because my lease. i have to renew it in september. will they put the rent up? any little increase, when we are all stretched with every other bill, would push it over to being unaffordable. that security of knowing, ok, this is going to be my monthly rent, i'm not going to have the landlord saying, oh, you've got to move out. because i'm putting up the rent by £200, £300. because they could do that. because there will be people who are willing to pay that amount, who can afford that. but where does that leave me? the industry body propertymark say that since the pandemic, the number of properties available to rent has halved. you don't expect this to still be on your books in a week or two's time? no, properties are letting quickly, so there will be

good demand for this. for adam, that means record prices and bidding wars. a trend that we are seeing more of now, which is something that was almost unheard of two or more years ago is tenants sometimes offering above the asking price to get their applications secured over somebody else. the norm would be maybe one month's rent in advance, but we are seeing some tenants, when they don't need to, offer three, maybe six months's rent in advance. we are getting people sent cvs of their family and their pets. to say, we're really good tenants. what, cvs of their kids? yeah. sort of a background, bio of who they are, family photographs. it's not rocket science to work out why the number of properties for rent has plummeted right across the uk. since the pandemic, property prices have been on the rise, and that coupled with the extra regulations and hassle and taxes and charges that landlords are facing, has tempted a lot more of them to sell up and get out of the game, and that means fewer houses to rent. that's exactly what happened to small—scale landlord lou valdini. the stress was huge.

this and nobody seems to consider the impact on landlords. i'm not a professional big company with lots of people working for me, who can manage these things. this all fell on my shoulders. two years ago, he was suddenly faced with a nightmare tenant who did not pay for 16 months and was a menace to the neighbours. this had cost me, by that period, something like £20,000. as a result, lou says he's selling up. and many people are in the same situation. they have just had enough. and no matter how you feel about landlords, the knock—on result is huge problems for anyone renting. colletta smith, bbc news, in nottingham. there are real worries this issue could get worse before it gets better. the property group rightmove has found that more and more people are looking for rentals with all bills included.

as bills continue to soar, that makes being a landlord less profitable. some groups are also warning that the government's renters' reform bill will put more people off renting their properties out to people. the government told us that good landlords have nothing to fear and that they were supporting vulnerable renters with the rising cost of living. we'd love to hear your thoughts on this one — are you getting out of the landlord game? have you struggled to rent a property? do you think changes to the rules for landlords will make it fairer? get in touch and we'll go through some of your comments later. sally and jon, back to you. thank you very much indeed. it is really tricky at the moment with people trying to rent with properties to rent, and trying to buy. it properties to rent, and trying to bu . , ., buy. it is finding some way. you would normally _ buy. it is finding some way. you would normally go _ buy. it is finding some way. you would normally go and - buy. it is finding some way. you would normally go and have - buy. it is finding some way. you would normally go and have a l buy. it is finding some way. you i would normally go and have a look and then think about it, but i think what a lot of people are finding is, you don't have time to think about it, you have got to get in there and make an offer, and the problem is we were hearing is that someone comes in and makes a higher offer because

there is such a desperation to get hold of properties that are available. and i'm sure that people who may have their own place on a mortgage will get letters through the doorfrom mortgage will get letters through the door from letting agent saying, there is a high demand for properties in your area, it is that sort of thing we are seeing in the market at the moment.— sort of thing we are seeing in the market at the moment. thank you very much indeed. — market at the moment. thank you very much indeed, ben, _ market at the moment. thank you very much indeed, ben, we _ market at the moment. thank you very much indeed, ben, we will— market at the moment. thank you very much indeed, ben, we will see - market at the moment. thank you very much indeed, ben, we will see you - much indeed, ben, we will see you later in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. people are being advised not to try and travel on the tube this morning as a 24—hour strike has started. about 4,000 station staff walked out atjust after midnight in a dispute overjob losses, changes to working agreement and pensions. transport for london said nobody would lose theirjobs due to the proposals. we regret the inconvenience

this has caused them. we understand that. but we have to stand up for what's right. and we have to stand by our members' jobs and pensions and their conditions of employment. i apologise to customers for the frustration they are facing today. it is unnecessary strike action. what — it is unnecessary strike action. what i — it is unnecessary strike action. what i advise customers is to avoid travelling _ what i advise customers is to avoid travelling into london. and this is how things are looking out there — tranport for london is warning of severe disruption today. we want to know how these tube strikes are affecting you. get in touch with us at hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk — and send us your photos and videos — a man who was rescued from the river thames after police used a taser to try to restrain him has died.

the met police said it was called to reports of a man shouting on chelsea bridge road armed with a screwdriver. he was rescued from the water but died in hospital that night. the police watchdog is investiagting what happened. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather damp start this monday morning. we have had heavy rain overnight and we still have outbreaks first thing this morning. the rain is gradually clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud thinning and breaking this afternoon. so a few sunny spells, but, of course, a shower risk mixed in as well. temperatures today reaching around 19 celsius. 0vernight tonight, we will still see maybe one or two showers this evening. becoming dry, though. and the cloud breaking further. so some clearer spells. you can see, edging up from the south, some cloud into tomorrow morning into the south of london. minimum temperature, nine celsius.

now, for tomorrow, again, you've got this front coming up from the south. that will bring some rain perhaps for the morning. brighter, perhaps, the further north you are. but then we should see that clearing away. so some sunny spells for tuesday afternoon. again, a shower risk. temperatures a little bit warmer. maximum 21 celsius. we are under the influence of low pressure for wednesday. that will bring some heavy, potentially thundery, showers. but a ridge of high pressure for thursday means it settles down a little bit. some sunshine, a drier day on thursday, i'm back in half an hour. and for updates on how that stike is going, we've got reporters out there this morning, please do check our webite — at the usual address— or vanessa will be on the radio from seven. now though it's back tojon and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. good morning. it could be a busy week in westminster

as there's growing speculation that borisjohnson could face a vote of no confidence from his own mps in the coming days. we'll be speaking to his cabinet colleague sajid javid later, but first let's get a view from the labour benches. wes streeting is the shadow health secretary and joins us now. good morning. i know you are calling for an investigation into the tory pledge for 40 new hospitals programme, the pledge to build 40 new hospitals. truth? programme, the pledge to build 40 new hosnitals-_ programme, the pledge to build 40 new hosnitals-— new hospitals. why are you doing that today? _ new hospitals. why are you doing that today? first, _ new hospitals. why are you doing that today? first, we _ new hospitals. why are you doing that today? first, we know- new hospitals. why are you doing that today? first, we know the i that today? first, we know the government is breaking its pledge to build 40 new hospitals and it is now talking about refurbishments. but most pressing lay, we are seeing delays in that programme. if you take my local hospital, whips cross, a hospital that suffered flooding, disruption last year, they are meant to be near the top of the list and they have had no certainty about

where the funding is coming from and when. those delays are costing people dear and costing patients gear because they are being treated in dilapidated hospitals, and costing the taxpayer because construction costs go up with every passing year. i am asking the national audit office to investigate because i think taxpayers' money is being wasted. promises are being broken. and the infrastructure projects authorities say they do not think this project and this refurbishment programme can be delivered. i think there are serious questions to answer and i want the national audit office to take an independent look at it. how would ou independent look at it. how would you manage _ independent look at it. how would you manage these _ independent look at it. how would you manage these projects - independent look at it. how would you manage these projects and . independent look at it. how would l you manage these projects and how would they be funded? it is you manage these projects and how would they be funded?— you manage these projects and how would they be funded? it is from the government — would they be funded? it is from the government capital _ would they be funded? it is from the government capital investment - government capital investment programme. they have to unlock that investment and get building under way. the last labour government did a tremendousjob in

way. the last labour government did a tremendous job in turning around crumbling hospitals, building a new generation of hospitals, new treatment centres. that made a big difference. 0ne treatment centres. that made a big difference. one of the ways we managed to deliver the lowest waiting times in the nhs's history and highest patient satisfaction, so the labour government has a good record on hospital building. i do not understand why when the health secretary says the improvements are coming the treasury is a blogger on this and those are questions you should put to the health secretary. we have plenty of questions for him, thank you. i we have plenty of questions for him, thank ou. ., ., ., ., i. thank you. i do not want to tell you how to do your— thank you. i do not want to tell you how to do yourjob, _ thank you. i do not want to tell you how to do yourjob, i _ thank you. i do not want to tell you how to do yourjob, i am _ thank you. i do not want to tell you how to do yourjob, i am sorry. - thank you. i do not want to tell you | how to do yourjob, i am sorry. you how to do your “ob, i am sorry. you said the how to do yourjob, i am sorry. you said the funding _ how to do yourjob, i am sorry. you said the funding would come from the same source. the health service funding is set to increase to 162 billion in the year 24—25. would you say labour would match the current plans or spend more? we say labour would match the current plans or spend more?— plans or spend more? we are not auoin plans or spend more? we are not going into — plans or spend more? we are not going into a _ plans or spend more? we are not going into a general _ plans or spend more? we are not going into a general election - going into a general election pledging to spend less than the

conservatives on the nhs. what we will do is set out in clear terms so the public canjudge on how will do is set out in clear terms so the public can judge on how we will fund it, our tax the public can judge on how we will fund it, ourtax and the public can judge on how we will fund it, our tax and spending policies. what you have seen from labour in recent weeks and months is an indication of the kinds of choices we would make that would be different to the conservatives. the conservatives' first and last resort with public spending seems to be hiking taxes on working people which we have seen in the national insurance rise. we have had 15 tax rises under borisjohnson in two years, more than the last labour government did in a decade. there are differences in choices. they want to increase taxes on working people and we would rather put taxes on wealth, and things like property, shares, dividends. we are going through a cost of living crisis and the priority has to be we get more money into the pockets of those struggling and to ask businesses and

individuals who can afford to pay more, to pay more to get us through this crisis without hurting people on low and middle incomes. what this crisis without hurting people on low and middle incomes. what at this oint on low and middle incomes. what at this point people _ on low and middle incomes. what at this point people would _ on low and middle incomes. what at this point people would want - on low and middle incomes. what at this point people would want to - on low and middle incomes. what at | this point people would want to know is what specifically are you going to do to make a difference, to pay for this extra funding for the nhs? labour's mental health pledge, one of the big drivers, mental health, of the big drivers, mental health, of the big drivers, mental health, of the nhs backlog we can see. we said we would guarantee mental health treatment within a month, recruit more people to work in mental health and support for young people in schools. we would find that by ending charitable status on private schools and close one tax loophole that benefits people currently avoiding taxes. the health secretary knows about that because he spent many years before being an mp doing just that. it is not something universally popular and

the government will attack it and say it is not fair that way but ending charitable status of private schools that benefit 7% of young people, in order to fund mental health support that will benefit particularly the 93% to go to state schools, is the right choice. those are the choices are the choice is a labour government would make.

particular focus on those on the lower pay bands, the lowest paid workers, notjust in nhs but in social care because people are struggling. i hope we can see action but rightly, we are waiting for the independent pay review body to make recommendations and we will wait to see what they are and hope the government follows. if see what they are and hope the government follows.— see what they are and hope the government follows. if that is 10% in line with _ government follows. if that is 10% in line with inflation _ government follows. if that is 10% in line with inflation you _ government follows. if that is 10% in line with inflation you would - in line with inflation you would agree? in line with inflation you would auree? , in line with inflation you would a . ree? , ., , in line with inflation you would auree? , . , _ in line with inflation you would auree? , . , . agree? let see what they say. we understand _ agree? let see what they say. we understand pressure _ agree? let see what they say. we understand pressure families - agree? let see what they say. we understand pressure families are l understand pressure families are understand pressure families are under with the cost of living crisis. it is notjust an issue in terms of public sector pay. across the economy in the public and private sector, people are feeling the pinch and that is why the government has to get inflation under control and the economy growing. if the economy had grown in the last decade as much as it did under the last labour government there would be £30 billion more to

invest in public services without raising a penny on income taxes. getting the economy growing and inflation under control is the best way to make sure people have more money in their pockets. you way to make sure people have more money in their pockets.— money in their pockets. you said it would be difficult _ money in their pockets. you said it would be difficult for _ money in their pockets. you said it would be difficult for people - money in their pockets. you said it would be difficult for people to - would be difficult for people to accept a real terms pay cut. if the recommendation is less than inflation that is a real terms pay cut. �* ~ , cut. and i think it will be difficult _ cut. and i think it will be difficult for _ cut. and i think it will be difficult for people - cut. and i think it will be difficult for people and l cut. and i think it will be. difficult for people and we acknowledge that. we are waiting for the pay review body to make a recommendation. i am the pay review body to make a recommendation. iam not the pay review body to make a recommendation. i am not going to pre—empt it. i want people watching, whether working in the nhs, in other parts of the public sector, or in the private sector, where millions are feeling the pinch, we understand the squeeze you are going through as the squeeze you are going through as the labour party. cost of living is our priority and we want to get more money in your pockets which is why we are calling on the government to scrap the increase in national insurance and have an emergency

budget so we get the economy growing, get inflation under control and more money back into people's pockets which will be good for families, the economy and everyone. thank you very much. we will keep reminding you it is monday morning, because i think we are struggling. and there will be hoarse voices in wales. what an incredible moment. john is in cardiff. good morning. look at confirmation, wales heading to their first world cup 64 years. i know plenty of welsh supporters are already looking at tickets for qatar. and looking at flights. an emotionally charged night against

ukraine. this is where the ukrainian players were sacked. we know there was a ukrainian flag hanging players were sacked. we know there was a ukrainianflag hanging in players were sacked. we know there was a ukrainian flag hanging in the team dressing room last night. coming from the front line signed by some troops. carrying the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. but the players were saying sport is sport and they did not expect any presents from wales in the match and so it proved with a deflected gareth bale free kick enough to give them the 1-0 free kick enough to give them the 1—0 win that ends the 64 year wait for a world cup spot. and they were roared on by the red wall, the welsh supporters, which sparked celebrations as the players realised that ambition of playing at a world cup. it was a special atmosphere. so many near misses wales have experienced before. it was a special night. being a football supporter is about savouring success and learning to deal with defeat.

add solidarity with the ukrainian opposition, and cardiff was a heady mix of emotions. but only one team could claim a place in qatar. the first minute brought a flurry. ukraine put the ball in the back of the net. but the referee wasn't happy. the nerves didn't settle. wayne hennessey was kept busy. but, then, up stepped wales' captain. gareth bale delivering with a deflection. and sending hopes skywards. ukraine were unbowed, unrelenting and unable to get past wayne hennessey. johnson could have made it more comfortable. so could gareth bale. but that would have been too easy. instead, wales had to put their bodies on the line and keep their hands on the lead that sends them to their first world cup in 64 years. wales are going to the world cup!

it is just an unbelievable occasion, as well, isn't? occasion, as well, isn't it? the reward is at the end to celebrate that with supporters. things like this will stay with you forever. this is the best moment of my footballing career, without doubt. if you had asked me, i when i was a young kid, to do what i've done in my career and, finally, now, the final- piece in the jigsaw, i to play in a world cup. i probably would have taken 10% of it, to be honest. _ but to do what we've done for this nation, | put them on the world stage, the world map. _ they deserve everything, these fans. and that's what we try to do for them. | for ukraine, it was a step too far after such a difficultjourney. i feel a bit like the weather — not what we came for, but well done, wales. but the team has done ukraine proud? they have. they have put a smile on our faces, at least for a little bit. but for these fans, the next step is finding a flight to doha. it has lifted the entire welsh nation and we are delighted. are you booking your flights to qatar, now? yes, we certainly are.

all the way to the world cup? all the way. after 15 successive world cups watching at home, wales are finally through to qatar after winning their place on the biggest stage in world football. i know they are still celebrating. 0n i know they are still celebrating. on my way here at five amis saw welsh fans peeling their way from the city centre after celebrating. celebration at lord's yesterday. joe root reached 10,000 test runs as england fought back to win the first test against new zealand at lord's. they began the fourth day on 216 forfive, needing 61 to win. joe root�*s century saw him become just the second englishman to reach the landmark.

before steering his side to a five wicket win in ben stokes' first game as new captain. the team had only won one test in 17 matches. i think it's just a really important thing for the team to remember what winning is like again. it's felt like a very long time. it's been talked about a huge amount. and just can breed so much confidence and it can run through the rest of the group. like i say, it's a fresh start with ben and it's a way for us to now look forward at doing things slightly differently under brendan and him. rafael nadal says he won't play at wimbledon if he has to continue having injections in his foot after clinching yet another french open title. he beat norway's casper ruud to win a 14th title at roland garros, a 22nd grand slam to move two clear of his great rivals roger federer and novak djokovic on the all—time list. he says he'll be at wimbledon if his body is ready. britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid continued

their dominance of men's wheelchair tennis with another french open title. the top seeds beat argentina's gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda ofjapan in straight sets to clinch their third consecutive championship at roland garros. the pair have now won the last ten grand slam men's wheelchair doubles titles. what a run they are on. just like wales. this golden period for welsh football continues. a special moment for players and fans. you think about the 64 years wait to qualify for their first world cup since the 50s. they are only going to be playing on the first day when they take on the united states. and in a group alongside england. it will not be lost on the welsh supporters. the last time they met in a group was at euro 2016 and it was wales who topped the group. studio: 29th of november is the big

day, the clash. england — wales at the world cup. get it in the diary, get it off work right now. well, you can't, you will be there. he will be working because it is live on bbc television. the 29th of november, tuesday, live on bbc, wales against england at the world cup. my goodness. goodness me. it's the anniversary of d—day today. 0njune the 6th, 1944 the first allied troops had begun to land on the shores of northern france, to re—take it from nazi germany. more than 4,000 of them would never return home. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is in normandy. john, it's a solemn day but an important one to remember. yes, absolutely, a day that is

marked every year by those few, now, surviving veterans. they always want to remember. and remember, harry billinge was keen we should all remember the events of 1944. this is the first time the veterans will have been able to come to normandy and see the memorial. this is gold beach on the northern french coast. the sea would have been full of vessels and the sky filled with aircraft and the beaches with men charging up trying to attack german machine—gun posts. the people commemorated are notjust those who died on d—day but those who fell in the subsequent days of the battle for normandie. 0ne name on the wall is that of harry billinge. how we wish he was here today. we of course lost him earlier in the year. but he

will be remembered by british, french, young and old for what he did in 1944 and what he has done since. i've never seen anything like it in my life. i'd never seen anything like it in my life. you had the ships firing over your head and you had the germans firing from inland. 88 millimetre guns, they used. which would blow you off the face of the earth. and we haven't had a memorial, which is sad, really. thank you, darling. you began raising, you had a target, 22,442. that's a pound for every bloke that died. that died on d—day. and you reached the target, brilliant. you are well on your way. but what you have been contributing to is a bigger memorial. the names of those who died.

and the extra money we try to get through the education of youngsters. i want to show you something. this is it. this is what you've been raising money towards. and you've never seen this before. no, never. how does it make you feel? because the work you're doing, is now concrete, doing, it's now concrete, it's tangible, it's there, you can touch it. ok? yeah. it means so much, huh? i'm all right. a very special good morning to one of our greatest champions, mr harry billinge. i can't thank millions of people, millions, who have written to me

from all over the world and who have subscribed to that memorial. that means more to me than anything. do you hope to get over and see the memorial? i'll be there — if i have to swim. oh. what a waste of life. marvellous men, marvellous men. this is a marvellous memorial. i never thought i'd be here. it was his life to go and see the monument and he knew that once that memorial was built,

it would never be forgotten. and it will still never will be forgotten and harry won't be forgotten. that was harry's friend. don't worry, mate, he has not been forgotten at all. richard is from the spirit of normandy trust who bring veterans coming over here. a quick word first on harry. what bring veterans coming over here. a quick word first on harry.— quick word first on harry. what a nu he quick word first on harry. what a guy he was- _ quick word first on harry. what a guy he was- he _ quick word first on harry. what a guy he was. he was _ quick word first on harry. what a guy he was. he was a _ quick word first on harry. what a guy he was. he was a man - quick word first on harry. what a guy he was. he was a man with i quick word first on harry. what a | guy he was. he was a man with a passion. the vision to build this amazing memorial, those people had a vision. he had the vision to raise the money to make sure it would be built and that it would be a memorial to those he saw fall alongside him. and those he never

knew but, because of the bond with the people he lived with, fought with and saw them dying, he wanted this to be here so that people had a focal point in normandy they could always remember. and with the 22,000 plus names here, this brings the focal point and story into one place. that harry found so important. and created that passion within him to ensure it would happen. it within him to ensure it would ha en. , , �* , happen. it is the first british memorial. _ happen. it is the first british memorial, as _ happen. it is the first british memorial, as we _ happen. it is the first british memorial, as we have - happen. it is the first british memorial, as we have been| happen. it is the first british - memorial, as we have been saying. d—day is special to the veterans and families and to those who remember what happened on that day and subsequent days in the battle for normandy. it is a slightly different atmosphere with the french people. we experienced it yesterday. we had a solemn ceremony with the british army there and dignitaries. we were just reaching that quiet moment of

reflection and a convoy of military vehicles with french people in them came past with sirens blaring and so on. and it made you reflect on we each have a different view of remembrance. we remember those who came in on the beaches behind me. we remember those, some of whom never made the beaches. and those who gave everything for freedom and peace in europe. but the french remember the fact that it brought them freedom. so while ours is solemn, theirs is a real celebration. it is trying to capture remembrance in that sphere and not be too focused on one view or the other. and not be too focused on one view or the other-— or the other. richard, thank you. from the spirit _ or the other. richard, thank you. from the spirit of— or the other. richard, thank you. from the spirit of normandy - or the other. richard, thank you. l from the spirit of normandy trust. there were fireworks last night, suchis there were fireworks last night, such is the sense of celebration, a liberation day really for this part

of france. there will be services throughout the day and we will speak to a veteran later on the programme. it was officially opened a year ago today, but, of course, there were covid restriction so veterans could not visit. some have come subsequently. and today is their first time to be here on d—day and bow their heads and to remember and reflect. back to you. studio: thank you. and thank you for that beautiful film with harry. fantastic to see. johnin fantastic to see. john in northern france. harry in our thoughts, as all of his mates are as well. if you're struggling to find your get—up—and—go this morning — you're probably not alone. for millions of us, it was an epicjubilee weekend. and exhausting and emotional. the pomp, the pageantry, the parties, maybe prosecco.

this monday morning. we have had heavy rain overnight and we still have outbreaks first thing this morning. the rain is gradually clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud thinning and breaking this afternoon. so a few sunny spells, but, of course, a shower risk mixed in as well. temperatures today reaching around 19 celsius. 0vernight tonight, we will still see maybe one or two showers this evening. becoming drier, though. and the cloud breaking further. so some clearer spells. but you can see, edging up from the south, some cloud into tomorrow morning into the south of london. minimum temperature, nine celsius. now, for tomorrow, again, you've got this front coming up from the south. that will bring some rain perhaps for the morning. brighter, perhaps, the further north you are. but then we should see that clearing away. so some sunny spells for tuesday afternoon. again, a shower risk. temperatures a little bit warmer. maximum 21 celsius. we are under the influence of low pressure for wednesday. that will bring some heavy, potentially thundery showers. but a ridge of high pressure for thursday means it settles down a little bit. some sunshine, a drier day

on thursday and temperatures getting a little bit warmer. i'm back in half an hour. and for updates on how that stike is going, we've got reporters out there this morning. please do check our webite at the usual address. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today... the queen takes centre stage at the end of four days of platinum jubilee celebrations — and sends a message of thanks to the nation. from street parties and bonfires to parades and concerts — one estimate says nearly 17 million people took part. there is pressure on the pm — there's mounting speculation borisjohnson could face a confidence vote within days. good morning from the cardiff city stadium where wales' 64—year wait to get

to the world cup came to an end last night. gareth bale's deflected free kick was enough to give them the win over ukraine. to do what we have done for this team, to put them on the world map, thatis team, to put them on the world map, that is what we do for them. most of us will have a cloudy day with just a few showers. the exception to that is in scotland, whether cloud will break and it will be warm and sunny. i will have all the details coming up later in programme. good morning. it's monday, the 6th ofjune. our main story. the queen has said she is "humbled and deeply touched" by the response to her platinum jubilee, following four days of celebrations to mark her 70 years on the throne.

in a written statement, she said she'd been inspired by the "kindness, joy and kinship" on display during the extended weekend. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph takes a look back at an unprecedented national party. cheering. she was the star of the show, and it was her grand finale. the queen began the celebrations on the balcony here, and this is where they ended after a weekend of pomp, partying and pagea ntry. the last day of celebrations brought a sense of carnival to central london, a quirky trip through the seven decades of the queen's reign. in the royal box, grandad charles was put in temporary charge of a lively prince louis. as the party ended, the queen issued a message of thanks, saying, "i have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my platinum jubilee. "while i may not have attended every event in person,

my heart has been with you all, and i remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family." i think it's what we want to see. long live the queen, and let it continue. wasn't she beautiful? i didn't know if we would be able to see her. but it was lovely, wasn't it? it was so nice to hear the national anthem and all to sing. it was a bit emotional, actually. extremely, delightfully— overwhelming, butjust wonderful. fantastic, crowd, fantastic people. and to see the queen, that was that was the most important thing. the images of the weekend will linger. lifelong memories made for some. a chance to see those who were back in the royal fold. the celebrations were for the queen, but without her presence at some events. as herfamily stepped in, thejubilee has been a reminder of the frailty of the monarch and how future public appearances

will be carefully managed. the weekend, though, has solved one mystery. we now know what the queen keeps in her trusted handbag. perhaps you would like a marmalade sandwich? i always keep one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here. for later. the stage around buckingham palace is now being pulled down as this part of london returns to normal. it has been a jubilee filled with reflection, but it's ended looking firmly to the future. the final family get together. a look at the future shape of the monarchy. a son, grandson and great grandson, three future kings.

but as onejubilee tribute put it, with one current queen still in the saddle. daniela ralph, bbc news, buckingham palace. what a moment that was to see the queen on the balcony at the end. there had been some debate about whether she would be there or not, so to see her was incredible. when the flag went up halfway through the pageant, they knew that she was home on the balcony could happen. more memories of the weekend coming up. it is seven minutes past seven, and we turn our attention to politics. like the rest of us, mps returning to work. mps return to westminster today amid growing speculation that borisjohnson could face a vote on his leadership. at least 28 conservative mps have publicly called for the prime minister to go — but 54 letters of no confidence are needed to trigger a ballot over his future.

0ur political correspondent helen catt is on downing street. helen, we can see that the bunting is still up, but i imagine not such a buoyant mood inside there today? yes, we are hearing this morning from some rebel conservatives that they understand that the threshold may have been reached, and that a vote could be announced pretty soon. i should say there is only one man who actually knows if that is the case, and that is so graham brady, the chair of the 1922 committee, thatis the chair of the 1922 committee, that is all conservative mps who are not ministers. he is the only person who knows for sure if it has been reached, and he would announce that. he will previously have told the prime minister and number 10 that the threshold has been reached and he will announce the timetable for any vote. usually that happens pretty swiftly, sometimes within hours, definitely within days, so we wait to see if that has in fact been reached. �* ,.,

wait to see if that has in fact been reached. . ,., , _, wait to see if that has in fact been reached. . , _, ., , , reached. and so this could happen very quickly _ reached. and so this could happen very quickly if. _ reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and _ reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and a _ reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and a big _ reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and a big if, - reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and a big if, it - reached. and so this could happen very quickly if, and a big if, it is i very quickly if, and a big if, it is going to happen?— very quickly if, and a big if, it is going to happen? exactly. it could ha en going to happen? exactly. it could happen within _ going to happen? exactly. it could happen within hours, _ going to happen? exactly. it could happen within hours, within - going to happen? exactly. it could happen within hours, within days, | happen within hours, within days, but as you said, a big if, if it is going to happen. and also it is a pretty high threshold for boris johnson to actually lose that vote of confidence. more than half of conservative mps, of confidence. more than half of conservative mp5, 50% plus one, would have to vote against him, that is 180 mp5, and that is quite a distance from the 54 that i needed to trigger a vote of confidence. the pushback from number 10 seems to be pretty strong, steve barclay the chief of staff has written a conservative website today that he doesn't believe that the basis of the next election, the basic trait at the next election, will be based on the contents of the sue gray report, certainly pushing back pretty strongly here. but there is certainly division within the conservative party, you have seen a lot of gloom over recent weeks and we will have to wait and see what happens today. we will have to wait and see what happens today-—

we will have to wait and see what ha ens toda . ., ., ., ,, happens today. helen, for now, thank ou ve happens today. helen, for now, thank you very much — happens today. helen, for now, thank you very much indeed. _ happens today. helen, for now, thank you very much indeed. lots _ happens today. helen, for now, thank you very much indeed. lots of - you very much indeed. lots of rumours all over the internet at the moment about whether we might get an announcement in the next couple of hours. if we do, we will go straight back to helen and westminster during breakfast this morning. the uk is sending its first long—range missiles to ukraine, despite a threat from vladimir putin that such a move could prompt russian strikes on new targets. the defence secretary ben wallace confirmed the decision after the us made a similar announcement last week. 0ur correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, why is the uk's decision to send these rockets so significant? because, in short, this war is becoming an artillery battle. the fight for the donbas is becoming a question of who has the bigger guns, more powerful guns, rockets, and also more accurate, and i think that is the thing that is crucial here. what is being sent by britain and the united states is not going to give the ukrainians an advantage in firepower, in sheer weight of bombardment it can bring to this

fight, but it will make it much more accurate, and that is because it isn't going to be a question ofjust who can pound cities, but who can hit the enemy's artillery. and that is what we are seeing, a fight where artillery pieces fire at each other, and whereas the russians used trajectory, they are just those with wheels quite literally, these are going to be guided by gps technology, so they are far more accurate, so russians can pound a huge area, but the new system is the british and the americans are sending over will give ukrainians a capacity to hit accurate positions, so that means that when they get these counter barrages, they will win, in short. that is the expectation. the reason this matter of course is the russians are continuing their push into the donbas, this eastern industrial region which is now the stated goal of this invasion, but it is worth saying that it does seem to be stalling to some extent. their current focus is the city called several donetsk, and we are hearing

reports of pushback. thank you very much. transport for london is advising against travel on the underground today, as thousands of staff go on strike. large parts of the network will be closed as members of the rmt union take the action in a row overjobs and pensions. the disruption is expected to continue until tomorrow morning. let's go and join carroll this morning, because i think i would like to move to that little tiny island behind you, that is gorgeous. good morning. this is plockton in the highlands, and i'm showing you it because it is a sunny start to the day. it also is across parts of cornwall as well. the rain across the home counties is pushing towards the home counties is pushing towards the south—east, and through the rest of the day, it will kneer detain you to move away, leaving behind them in

their wake a lot of cloud and a few showers. the bright skies in the south—west will extend a little further east, we have rain across the channel islands and northern ireland to too will see a little cloud across the day. for scotland and northern england, a fair bit of sunshine. the rain across the channel islands scoots across southern areas of england, and we also have this system coming in from the north sea, bring in more cloud and some spots of rain across north—east england and also the south—east of scotland. 0vernight lows of 7—12. tomorrow, here comes the rain, continuing to push off towards the south—east, and the clouds move a little further west, and they will be some sunshine to look forward to again across the far north of scotland. but by the end of the day, we have a new weather system coming in, and that is going to bring in some rain

across the south—west temperatures tomorrow, 11—20, and this band of rain is heading northwards and eastwards overnight and into wednesday. i think that ireland is the best place to go. carol, we will see you later. thank you very much. air travel can be a stressful experience at the best of times. especially at the moment! and the last week or so has been more so. thousands of passengers had flights cancelled at short notice — mainly due to airport staff shortages — but travellers with disabilities are facing an additional worry. if their flight does go ahead, how long will they have to wait for help in getting off the plane. victoria brignell is a bbc radio producer who was left on a plane at gatwick for more than an hour and a half after landing. shortly after we landed, the airline staff came up to me and told me that i would have to wait at least 50

minutes on the plane before airport staff would be able to come and get me off. as you can see, i am wheelchair user, i am me off. as you can see, i am wheelchair user, iam paralysed me off. as you can see, i am wheelchair user, i am paralysed from the neck down, and i need the staff to lift me out of the airline seat. in the end, i was stuck on the plane for an hour in the end, i was stuck on the plane foran hourand 35 in the end, i was stuck on the plane for an hour and 35 minutes waiting for an hour and 35 minutes waiting for the staff to help me. i had booked the help three months in advance, i didn'tjust turn up, they knew that i was coming three months ago. and i reminded them two weeks ago. and i reminded them two weeks ago as well. and still i didn't get the service that i should expect to have. so the service that i should expect to have, ., , the service that i should expect to have. ., . , .., j, have. so that is victoria's experience _ have. so that is victoria's experience at _ have. so that is victoria's experience at gatwick. i the bbc�*s security correspondent frank gardner has also experienced this problem recently. hejoins us now, along with the former paralympian and disability rights campaigner, baroness grey—thompson. good morning to you both. good to see this morning. frank, your

effort and money that needs to go into getting disabled passengers off the plane at the same time as every body else. no one is asking for special treatment, or at least i'm not. we are simply asking to get off the plane at roughly the same time as everything else. it is inexcusable.— as everything else. it is inexcusable. ~ ., ., ., ,. inexcusable. we have got a picture here of you. _ inexcusable. we have got a picture here of you, frank, _ inexcusable. we have got a picture here of you, frank, in _ inexcusable. we have got a picture here of you, frank, in the - inexcusable. we have got a picture here of you, frank, in the same i here of you, frank, in the same position as we saw victoria, waiting, the last passenger on—board, empty seats, and waiting for assistance. on—board, empty seats, and waiting forassistance. let's on—board, empty seats, and waiting for assistance. let's turn to tanni, because you have experienced this yourself? because you have experienced this ourself? a , because you have experienced this ourself? n, , , because you have experienced this ourself? , , ., yourself? many times, and most recently two _ yourself? many times, and most recently two weeks _ yourself? many times, and most recently two weeks ago. - yourself? many times, and most recently two weeks ago. i - yourself? many times, and most recently two weeks ago. i was i yourself? many times, and most. recently two weeks ago. i was flying to berlin, _ recently two weeks ago. i was flying to berlin, and the plane was late, which _ to berlin, and the plane was late, which affects every body, but after waiting _ which affects every body, but after waiting for— which affects every body, but after waiting forjust over half an hour on board, — waiting forjust over half an hour on board, they couldn't give me any clear— on board, they couldn't give me any clear indication of when assistance was to— clear indication of when assistance was to come. my chair was at the gate, _ was to come. my chair was at the gate, so — was to come. my chair was at the gate, so i — was to come. my chair was at the gate, so i decided to get on the floor— gate, so i decided to get on the floor and — gate, so i decided to get on the floor and pull myself off the plane, which _ floor and pull myself off the plane, which i _ floor and pull myself off the plane, which i can— floor and pull myself off the plane, which i can still do. but there are a lot— which i can still do. but there are a lot of— which i can still do. but there are a lot of people like victoria who can't _ a lot of people like victoria who can't do — a lot of people like victoria who can't do that. it is not pleasant,

the tunnel, that is not where we need it, we need it at the door of the plane. i said, this is our legs. i think i tapped him on the leg and said that it is your leg, that wheelchair is my means of getting around, so i don't want it to quarter of a mile away in a tunnel. i needed at the door of the plane so i needed at the door of the plane so i can get off the plane in my chair, and to his great credit, he got that changed at heathrow. 0ther airports are still working on that, and i don't know why it seems to be difficult. but getting airlines to understand that the wheelchair is notjust understand that the wheelchair is not just a understand that the wheelchair is notjust a piece of baggage, it is notjust a piece of baggage, it is not a suitcase, it is a precision bit of equipment that allows us to get from a to b, a simple human right. but sadly, i think the only way this is going to change, and i know it is not going to be popular, it is controversial. in the end, the only way it is going to change is if airports start getting fined for this, because the current hasn't worked and unfortunately it is going

to have to be a stick. that is the only way they are going to take this issue seriously enough to stop this happening, because we keep getting apologies, we keep getting explanations, there was a different reason each time, it is usually a staffing issue. ithink reason each time, it is usually a staffing issue. i think it is particularly acute this summer because there hasn't been enough planning. 0ne because there hasn't been enough planning. one other way it could change i think as there needs to be a more efficient system that when a passenger with mobility or in fact any other disability needs checks in at the departing airport, and message needs to go immediately to a team at the receiving airport saying, this passenger is arriving on this flight at this time with this need, and they should be ready to receive him or her at the receiving airport, including factoring in if it is going to be late. if taxi companies can keep an eye on the status of the plane and make adjustments to when they pick up make adjustments to when they pick up a passenger, it ought to be possible for airports to do the

in the indian capital ever recorded. and that's not the only climate record that's been broken this year, c02 levels in the atmosphere continue their seemingly unstoppable rise to reach a height ofjust over 420 ppm in april this year. countries promised to take action to curb emissions at last year's big un climate conference in glasgow. there are no objections, it is so decided. but the world has changed since then. when russia invaded ukraine, fuel prices went through the roof, and many governments appeared to put tackling climate change on hold. at the conference in glasgow, countries agreed, for the first time, to phase down coal, the dirtiest of fossil fuels, so while they are doing it, there are still more than 6,500

coal—fired electricity units operating across the world. the bad news is, 34 countries are still planning to build the most aggressive? that's china. but china is also making huge investments in renewables, the hope is, coal isjust an insurance policy, an emergency energy source to protect against blackouts. what about the promises of money to help the developing world? the developed world said that by 2020 it would give $100 billion a year to help developing countries fund the low carbon transition, but it still hadn't come up with the money at the glasgow conference last year. and what is happening in the us could make finding the cash even more difficult. president biden is struggling to get his climate plan passed by congress, if he fails, he's unlikely to have the money he needs for his low carbon ambitions.

key to the un climate process is countries coming back every year to strengthen and revise their climate pledges. will they be willing to up their game on climate, given the other pressures they face? some countries, including india, haven't even confirmed the pledges they made in glasgow. in six months' time in sharm el—sheikh, companies will need to reiterate their promises. if you want people to continue to have hope in this process, you are going to have to deliver, and you are going to have to show at sharm el—sheikh that those commitments made in glasgow were not hollow, that they have a meaning and they are being acted upon. there's been more extreme weather in the last few weeks. continuing drought in the horn

of africa, floods in brazil, wildfires in mexico. it's hard to know whether there will be progress at the un climate conference in egypt in november. the world is at loggerheads on all sorts of issues. but here's the good news — it is still talking about climate. justin rowlatt, bbc news. it's the 78th anniversary of the d—day landings today — the largest combined air, sea and land military operation in history — and one which finally turned the course of the second world war in favour of those defending freedom. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is in normandy on what will be a poignant day. yes, it will be, not only for some of the veterans who are coming over for the anniversary of d—day, and they like to do that as often as they like to do that as often as

they can, health permitting, because it was 78 years ago. the young men who fought on this gold beach just behind me, should have been late teens, some of them were even younger than that, there were those in their mid teens, so even considering that, at 78 years in the numbers are inevitably getting fewer and fewer with each year that passes. this is harry's bench, dedicated to our friend harry billinge who came and sat on this bench first chance to come and see the memorial that he had worked so long and so hard to raise money for to see his dream realised. it was opened officially this time last year, the 6th ofjune 2021, but because of covid restrictions, this is the first time on d—day that veterans have been able to come here to bow their heads in remembrance, in prayer. there will be services here, services across the north coast of france as we were hearing

earlier, french people more celebrations but for the brits commemorations. we will have more here from the british normandy memorial in breakfast after the news, travel and weather where you are watching this morning. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. people are being advised not to try and travel on the tube this morning as a 24—hour strike has started. about 4,000 station staff walked out atjust after midnight in a dispute overjob losses, changes to working agreement and pensions. transport for london said nobody would lose theirjobs due to the proposals. we are heading for belgium via brussels on eurostar. it's very inconvenient because we have just arrived and we didn't know anything about it. so we probably should have done. we probably should have looked at our news, but we did not realise it.

so, hopefully, we can get a cab, but i imagine cabs are going to be very busy from here. so, yeah, thanks very much, london transport. tranport for london is warning of "severe disruption" today. let's have a look at what's happening out there. as you can see, most lines are suspended but there is a skeleton service on the central, jubilee and northern lines and the elizabeth is running 0k. we regret the inconvenience this has caused them. we understand that. but we have to stand up for what is right, and we have to stand by our members' jobs and pensions in their jobs and pensions and their conditions of employment. i would like to apologise to customers for the disruption they are facing today. it really is a deeply frustrating and unnecessary day of strike action. what i would advise customers is really to avoid travelling into london. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man

who was shot with a taser by police and then rescued from the thames. the met said it was called to reports of a man armed with a screwdriver in chelsea on saturday. he was rescued from the water but died in hospital that night. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather damp start this monday morning. we have had heavy rain overnight and we still have outbreaks first thing this morning. the rain is gradually clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud thinning and breaking this afternoon. so a few sunny spells, but, of course, a shower risk mixed in as well. temperatures today reaching around 19 celsius. 0vernight tonight, we will still see maybe one or two showers this evening. becoming drier, though. and the cloud breaking further. so some clearer spells. but you can see, edging up from the south, some cloud into tomorrow morning into the south of london. minimum temperature, 9 celsius. now, for tomorrow, again, you've got this front coming up from the south. that will bring some rain perhaps for the morning. brighter, perhaps, the further north you are. but then we should see that clearing away.

so some sunny spells for tuesday afternoon. again, a shower risk. temperatures a little bit warmer. maximum 21 celsius. we are under the influence of low pressure for wednesday. that will bring some heavy, potentially thundery showers. but a ridge of high pressure for thursday means it settles down a little bit. some sunshine, a drier day on thursday and temperatures getting a little bit warmer. i'm back in an hour. and for updates on how that stike is going we've got reporters out there this morning. please check our webite at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it is monday morning. we have to keep reminding ourselves after the long weekend. it promises to be a big week in politics. there's growing speculation that borisjohnson could face a vote of no confidence from his own mps in the coming days.

we can speak now to the health secretary, sajid javid. he's at a hospital in south west london. we will talk about borisjohnson in a moment. and his leadership. but let's talk about health. your brief. you are urging people to come forward today and to have more tests, medicaltests, but, at forward today and to have more tests, medical tests, but, at the same time, in england alone, 6 million plus people on waiting lists. when will you get that number down? ., , , lists. when will you get that number down? . , , ., , down? that is why we are investing billions, down? that is why we are investing billions. as — down? that is why we are investing billions, as part _ down? that is why we are investing billions, as part of _ down? that is why we are investing billions, as part of the _ down? that is why we are investing billions, as part of the covid - billions, as part of the covid recovery plan, in new testing equipment as well as much else. that is why i am at kingston hospital to learn about for example this ct scan are behind me and the difference it makes locally to crack through that backlog, and also to talk about the investment we are making across

england in 19 new community diagnostic centres. the new one—stop shops for tests and checkups, inconvenient locations. and two years from now, we will have a in total across england that, between them, will offer 9 million more, each year, tests and checkups and helping to release capacity in hospitals and helping to get the backlog down. but hospitals and helping to get the backlog down.— hospitals and helping to get the backlo: down. �* . , , backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go — backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go up- — backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go up. and _ backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go up. and there - backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go up. and there is - backlog down. but the waiting lists continue go up. and there is no - backlog down. but the waiting lists | continue go up. and there is no sign of that changing. when will they start coming down? bud of that changing. when will they start coming down?— of that changing. when will they start coming down? and that is an im ortant start coming down? and that is an important point — start coming down? and that is an important point and _ start coming down? and that is an important point and thank - start coming down? and that is an important point and thank you - start coming down? and that is an important point and thank you for| important point and thank you for asking the question. the waiting lists, i have been open and frank about this, they will continue to go up about this, they will continue to go up before they come back down and the reason is during the pandemic, the reason is during the pandemic, the height of the pandemic, the nhs

estimates 11—12,000,000 people, they stayed away from the nhs. we know why they did. the nhs was rightly focused on covid patients, especially times when we did not have the vaccine. it has meant people have stayed away and many are rightly coming forward. i want to encourage people who stayed away to come forward. we do not know how many will come back to the nhs but the nhs estimates, let's say it's half, which means when you have millions of missing patients coming back, it will create a surge in demand, and that is what we are seeing. the investment, the record billions in investment, the 33 billions in investment, the 33 billion in health and care extra over the next three years, that will help to raise capacity to the highest levels ever we estimate to 130% of pre—pandemic, of normal. and that will get the waiting list down.

i am pleased, that will get the waiting list down. iam pleased, looking that will get the waiting list down. i am pleased, looking at the waiting lists over the weekend, those people waiting the longest, we have managed to cut that waiting list by more than half in four months so we are making good progress thanks to the hard work of everyone in the nhs and we will keep doing it and get the waiting list down as quickly as possible. waiting list down as quickly as ossible. ., ., ., , ., possible. pointing out a brand-new scanner behind _ possible. pointing out a brand-new scanner behind you _ possible. pointing out a brand-new scanner behind you but _ possible. pointing out a brand-new scanner behind you but what - possible. pointing out a brand-new scanner behind you but what about | scanner behind you but what about staffing and availability of the workforce to do this? we have a report from the royal college of nursing and they say eight out of ten nurses say on their last shift, there were not enough staff to look after patients. there were not enough staff to look after patients-— after patients. again, you are right to ask about _ after patients. again, you are right to ask about that. _ after patients. again, you are right to ask about that. the _ after patients. again, you are right to ask about that. the nhs - after patients. again, you are right to ask about that. the nhs is - after patients. again, you are right to ask about that. the nhs is all. to ask about that. the nhs is all about its workforce. today we have more people working in the nhs, more doctors and nurses than ever before. we are recruiting at the fastest

rate in the nhs is seen because we need more doctors and nurses. the number of the doctors is up by more than 4000 in the past year and the number of nurses up by more than 10,000. we have a commitment to have 50,000 more nurses by the time of the next election and that is doing well with 30,000 more already but we still need more doctors and nurses which is why we have more in training than ever before. we are pulling every lever to increase the workforce. i have asked the nhs to come up with a 10—15 year strategy for the workforce to make sure post—pandemic we plan for the future so the health service works for all of us and is something we can rely on. �* , ., ~' of us and is something we can rely on. h ., ~ ., ., of us and is something we can rely on. let's talk about one “0b in particular. i on. let's talk about one “0b in particular, the i on. let's talk about one “0b in particular, the prime _ on. let's talk about one job in l particular, the prime minister's job. and feverish speculation in westminster that he could be facing

you now think it is likely. a couple of days ago before thejubilee weekend, we werejoined by dominic raab, deputy prime minister, who said he did not think there would be a confidence vote. what has changed in the past days? b5 a confidence vote. what has changed in the past days? $5 i a confidence vote. what has changed in the past days?— in the past days? as i say it is a decision for _ in the past days? as i say it is a decision for colleagues. - in the past days? as i say it is a decision for colleagues. i - in the past days? as i say it is a decision for colleagues. i thinkl in the past days? as i say it is a i decision for colleagues. i think for those who have publicly said they want a vote of confidence, i am sure you can ask them what is motivating them. what i think is important is to recognise that we have a prime minister where we are delivering for this country. before covid, we were the party that delivered on promises around brexit. we had the biggest public health challenge the world has faced in a generation and we were one of the first countries to respond with a vaccine programme, the first country to use authorised

vaccines. we are delivering. people want the country and the government focused on the matters that really are important about dealing with the cost of living challenge. i am sor , cost of living challenge. i am sorry. we — cost of living challenge. i am sorry. we do _ cost of living challenge. i am sorry, we do not— cost of living challenge. i am sorry, we do not have - cost of living challenge. i am sorry, we do not have long i cost of living challenge. i am l sorry, we do not have long and cost of living challenge. i am sorry, we do not have long and i was asking about what might have changed over the past days. i will play a clip of the prime minister and his wife as they headed into the cathedral for the queen's jubilee service. is this what changed the minds of conservative mps? is this what changed the minds of conservative mps? booing. crowds booing. people could not remember seeing anything like that at a moment like that. borisjohnson was considered to be the person who could reach

let's wait and see what happens. you mentioned a by—election we did not win in ourterm mentioned a by—election we did not win in our term in government. you will know that sometimes, governments have lost in by—elections midterm. that is not unusual. but they have gone on to win the general election. what matters in that general election is people can look back at that time and see the government has done the bestjob possible given the difficult, especially global circumstances, global pandemic, the impact on global prices of energy, and the challenges at home that has been created such as for the nhs. it is all about delivery and that is what i am focused on. in is all about delivery and that is what i am focused on.- is all about delivery and that is what i am focused on. in the last seconds we _ what i am focused on. in the last seconds we have _ what i am focused on. in the last seconds we have heard - what i am focused on. in the last seconds we have heard that - what i am focused on. in the last| seconds we have heard that jesse seconds we have heard thatjesse norman has issued a statement saying that, as a tory mp, he no longer has

like issues are moving swiftly. we will keep you up—to—date. with any news regarding the vote of confidence. what a night last night in the football for wales. congratulations after the historic result. a lot of historic moments this weekend. it was really emotional. john is there reflecting on the famous victory and we are all trying to book of the 29th of november. yes, good morning. that is the date when wales will meet england at the world cup. they have ended the 64 year wait to qualify for the world cup. and what was an emotionally charged night here. inevitable when you consider their opponents were ukraine. and as ukrainian players headed out, they were draped in the ukrainian flag, on a day when there

were fresh strikes on the capital kyiv yesterday. this was the ukrainian bench. there was a ukrainian bench. there was a ukrainian flag that came from the front line, signed by soldiers. the players carrying hopes and expectations of a nation on their shoulders. hearts broken for those players, who looked dejected at the final whistle but the players said they knew wales would not provide them with any presents. sport is still sport. wales delivered. gareth bale delivering the deflected free kick. a huge goal. the deflected free kick sealed it. and a number of brilliant saves from the welsh goalkeeper wayne hennessey kept wales ahead. ukraine arguably had the better of the match for large periods but wales hold on to the 1—0 when, booking their place in qatar,

the first world cup since 1958 and their second appearance on the biggest stage in international football. it means they will meet england. the 29th. iran and united states complete that great. we can hear from the man of the moment. states complete that great. we can hearfrom the man of the moment. ii hear from the man of the moment. if you had asked me about what i've donein you had asked me about what i've done in my career, i would properly take 10% of it, to be honest. to do what we've done for this nation, put them on the world stage, the world map. everything we do for the fans, and that is what we have tried to do for them. he keeps delivering. in other football... northern ireland have now gone 12 games in the nations league without a win after a goalless draw in cyprus. preston midfielder ali mccann missed their best chance of the match with seven minutes left.

manager ian baraclough has now won just three of his 18 competitive matches since taking charge two years ago. grimsby town capped off their remarkable run in the national league play—offs with another extra—time win in the final, beating solihull moors 2—1 at the london stadium, earning promotion back to the football league at the first time of asking. grimsby had to come from behind before substitute jordan maguire—drew scored the winner. their memorable run has seen them beat notts county after equalising in the 96th minute, before beating wrexham 5—4 with a last minute winner. joe root reached 10,000 test runs as england fought back to win the first test against new zealand at lord's. they began the fourth day on 216 for 5, needing 61 to win. joe root�*s century saw him become just the second englishman to reach the landmark. before steering his side to a 5

wicket win in ben stokes' first game as new captain. the team had only won one test in 17 matches. rafael nadal says he won't play at wimbledon if he has to continue having injections in his foot after clinching yet another french open title. he beat norway's casper ruud, to win a 14th title at roland garros, a 22nd grand slam to move two clear of his great rivals roger federer and novak djokovic on the all—time list. he says he'll be at wimbledon if his body is ready. britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid continued their dominance of men's wheelchair tennis with another french open title. the top seeds beat argentina's gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda ofjapan in straight sets to clinch their third consecutive championship at roland garros. the pair have now won the last ten grand slam men's wheelchair doubles titles.

wales can start to plan. i know fans here last night were already looking at flights and tickets as the clock counted down to full time against ukraine. after many near misses for wales trying to qualify for the biggest stage of all, it appears that in recent years this welsh team have not been shackled by disappointments of the past. and having qualified for back european championships, the world cup awaits in that big game to come against england on the 29th of november. if you wait... it has been a long time since qualifying, amazing to think wales will be in action on the opening day on the 21st of november. united states up first and then the final group game against england. what a tournament we have in store. maybe take the whole month.

i think we might. but not you, john. definitely not. 29th of november is a big day, on bbc one. bbc? it is. the british weather didn't really behave itself yesterday but it did deliver on saturday night for the platinum party at the palace. craig david was among the stellar line—up. before we speak to him, let's see craig in action, along with some of the other music legends who took part. music: we will rock you by queen. the queen beats time. # we will, we will rock you. # up in space, man. # i've searched around the universe. # been down some black holes. # there is nothing but space, man.

there's mounting speculation borisjohnson could face a confidence vote. the health secretary tells us he thinks it's likely. we're live in westminster this morning where an announcement is expected within hours. the queen takes centre stage at the end of four days of platinum jubilee celebrations and sends a message of thanks to the nation. good morning from the cardiff city stadium, where wales' 64—year wait to get to the world cup came to an end last night gareth bale's deflected free kick was enough to give them the win over ukraine and a reason for wild celebrations on and off the pitch. to do what we've done for this nation, put them on the world stage, the world map. everything we do for the fans, and that is what we have tried to do for them. a perfect storm for renters. there's been a big rise in rents and a drop in the number of properties available — we'll take a look at what's going on.

28 years ago, the normandy beaches were stormed during the d—day landings, and veterans will be able to come here for the first time to the new memorial to remember those comrades who fought and fell. good morning, it is not a cold start to the day to day, but we do have rain across central, southern and eastern parts of england. that will clear and we will be left with sunshine, a bit of cloud and also some showers. all the details later on in the programme. good morning, everybody. it's monday the 6th ofjune. our main story is some breaking news. we're expecting a statement in the next few minutes about boris johnson's future as prime minister. conservative mps who want him to step down say

they believe they have secured enough support to trigger a vote over his leadership. 54 letters of no confidence are needed to force a ballot. they must be lodged with the chairman of the 1922 committee, sir graham brady — who will be making a statement shortly. this morning the health secretary sajid javid told breakfast he thinks it is "likely" that the threshold has been reached. 0ur political correspondent helen catt is in westminster. helen, what can you tell us? we are expecting some news eminently, probably going to happen on college green where you are. what more can you tell us? we on college green where you are. what more can you tell us?— more can you tell us? we are expecting _ more can you tell us? we are expecting that _ more can you tell us? we are expecting that so _ more can you tell us? we are expecting that so graham - more can you tell us? we are i expecting that so graham brady, more can you tell us? we are - expecting that so graham brady, the chair of the 1922 committee, as it is known, a committee made up of all conservative backbenchers who aren't ministers, he is the man to whom those letters we have heard about

have been addressed. as you said, it takes 54 letters, that is 15% of tory mps, to go to so graham brady saying that those mps no longer have confidence in borisjohnson as the leader of the conservative party to trigger a vote of confidence. what we are expecting is that he will announce in the next few minutes that that will be held. we are expecting that he will come out here as it has worked in the past, he is likely to come out here and tell the cameras the timetable for this. he will have previously already told borisjohnson and number 10 downing street, and then what usually happens is that that vote is held pretty swiftly. we are expecting that will happen today. luntil]! pretty swiftly. we are expecting that will happen today. will that ha--en? that will happen today. will that ha en? i that will happen today. will that happen? l don't— that will happen today. will that happen? i don't know. - that will happen today. will that happen? i don't know. it- that will happen today. will that happen? i don't know. it is- that will happen today. will that happen? i don't know. it is a i happen? idon't know. it is a decision— happen? i don't know. it is a decision from my colleagues. it is likely— decision from my colleagues. it is likely that — decision from my colleagues. it is likely that something like that will happen, _ likely that something like that will happen, but it is not something that i can happen, but it is not something that i can tell— happen, but it is not something that i can tell you definitively. it is

result in borisjohnson being removed as conservative leader. if it did, then that would automatically trigger a leadership contest in which he would not be able to stand. but if he wins it, he would be safe for a year from facing another one. would be safe for a year from facing another one-— another one. helen, thank you very much indeed- _ another one. helen, thank you very much indeed. we _ another one. helen, thank you very much indeed. we will— another one. helen, thank you very much indeed. we will be _ another one. helen, thank you very much indeed. we will be back - another one. helen, thank you very much indeed. we will be back with | much indeed. we will be back with you as soon as we hear anything. it is five past eight. let's look back at that weekend, what a weekend it was! the queen has said she is "humbled and deeply touched" by the response to her platinum jubilee, following four days of celebrations to mark her 70 years on the throne. in a written statement, she said she'd been inspired by the "kindness, joy and kinship" on display during the extended weekend. we're joined now by our royal correspondent sarah campbell. she has had a front row seat at this throughout the weekend. the images on the front pages of the papers, images we will all remember forever, sarah. 50 images we will all remember forever, sarah. . , images we will all remember forever, sarah, ., , ,

with her issues of discomfort whether she would be able to appear on the balcony, but she did. smile, the wave, she was only on there for a couple of minutes, but what an image that was to finish off that weekend. and as i say, this message was released, i'm just reading another little bit of it, this thank you message. while i may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all and i remain committed to serving you to the best my ability, supported by my family. the best my ability, supported by my famil . ~ �* , ., . family. we're 'ust watching those -ictures family. we're 'ust watching those ictures of family. we're just watching those pictures of the — family. we're just watching those pictures of the queen _ family. we're just watching those pictures of the queen on - family. we're just watching those pictures of the queen on the - family. we're just watching those i pictures of the queen on the balcony with a smaller pool of members of that family then we might have been to in the past. that was interesting as well, wasn't it? it to in the past. that was interesting as well, wasn't it?— as well, wasn't it? it was the future, wasn't _ as well, wasn't it? it was the future, wasn't it? _ as well, wasn't it? it was the future, wasn't it? you - as well, wasn't it? it was the future, wasn't it? you had i as well, wasn't it? it was the l future, wasn't it? you had the as well, wasn't it? it was the - future, wasn't it? you had the three future, wasn't it? you had the three future kings, the cambridges, the prince of wales, the duchess of korma, so really representative of where the royal family is now, korma, so really representative of where the royalfamily is now, but also where the royal family is going forward. ., ., , , ., also where the royal family is going forward. . . , , ., . forward. sarah campbell, our royal correspondent, _ forward. sarah campbell, our royal correspondent, after _ forward. sarah campbell, our royal correspondent, after a _ forward. sarah campbell, our royal correspondent, after a busy - forward. sarah campbell, our royal. correspondent, after a busy weekend, thank you forjoining us.

the uk is sending its first long—range missiles to ukraine, despite a threat from vladimir putin that such a move could prompt russian strikes on new targets. the defence secretary ben wallace confirmed the decision after the us made a similar announcement last week. 0ur correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, why is the uk's decision to send these rockets so significant? basically because the battle for the east of this country, the battle for the donbas, has become a battle of artillery, of big guns trying to hit each other, and each other�*s infantry positions. at the moment, the russians have an advantage. they have huge amounts of artillery, great big rocket systems, and they can pound the ukrainian positions, and they have been doing so, we saw it in mariupoland and they have been doing so, we saw it in mariupol and we are seeing it now in the city of severodonetsk. but what these new systems are going to do if they get into the fight, when they get into the fight, is to give the ukrainians an advantage.

not necessarily in range of power, but in accuracy, because the russian systems are altered by winches, they calculate the trajectory, and they are quite inaccurate. these new systems are guided by gps technology, and so whereas the russians can hit an area may be with the accuracy of a football field, the accuracy of a football field, the new system is the ukrainians have will be able to hit really within metres, and so when it comes to this artillery battle, the back—and—forth between the guns and the rockets, this will give them a huge advantage, and the idea is they will be able to take out russian positions and then allow their troops to move forward clear of fire. of course the crucial question is, how do they get to the front, went on they get to the front? the russians will try to take them out with air strikes before they do, but if the ukrainians can get these into the fight, people say they could be a game changer. joe inwood, live in kyiv, thank you very much indeed. let's go live to college green in

central london, right opposite parliament. that solitary microphone looks a little bit sad, but it is therefore a very specific reason, because it is thought that it might because it is thought that it might be the spot where sir graham brady, the chairman of the conservative group of mps, the chairman of the conservative group of mp5, 1922 committee, he is the one who has received, we know, at least 30 letters officially from mps calling for a no—confidence vote in borisjohnson, but we now can confirm live on breakfast that we are going to have that confidence vote this evening. we are hearing that are directly from the conservative partyjust in the last few moments. the ballot is due to be held between six and 8pm tonight, so thatis held between six and 8pm tonight, so that is confirmation that we have had just in the last few moments from the conservative party themselves that that ballot that we had been speculating about for some time now, feverish speculation circling in the last few hours,

certainly this morning, that that ballot will be held tonight, most likely between 6pm and 8pm, and we are showing you pictures there of couege are showing you pictures there of college green because we were expecting graham brady to make that announcement, but the announcement has come from him, not standing in front of that microphone. i think that was a sound man checking, but the announcement has come from sir graham brady, who was chair of the 1922 committee, asjohn was saying, and that ballot will now happen, that limit has been reached, and the ballot will happen between six and eight o'clock tonight. he had to get 54 letters, but some are sent secretly which is why there is feverish speculation. we didn't know whether it had reached that threshold, but honestly it has. and one of the interesting things about sir graham brady is, i don't know whether he has called himself or has been described as opaque, he is so

discreet. there might be rumours about westminster, but he himself never comments untiljust now, so that has happened, he has confirmed that has happened, he has confirmed that ballot is happening today. 6pm, full coverage on the bbc, it will be an extremely busy day in westminster. we will go back there shortly, but first, at 12 minutes past weight, as the working week gets under way, let's speak to carol who has got the weather, and blue skies! isn't it lovely? good morning, everybody. this is one of our weather watcher's pictures, and the sun is out across parts of scotland and northern ireland. but for the rest of us it is a cloudy start on the day, murky as well, rain across north—east england pushing southwards and eastwards, rain across those counties pushing eastwards as well. eventually all of this will clear leaving a fair bit of cloud across england and wales, and one or two showers. we have low cloud currently across the south and

east, and scotland will get a sunny day. some breaks, some sunshine, and then you can see across much of england and wales it is cloudy with some rain and showers, but the brighter skies in the south—west will transfer eastwards, so even in the east we will see some sunshine through the day. eventually we say goodbye,, the cloud will break up, and some showery outbreaks of rain could come in across the channel islands. temperatures 12 to about 19 or 20. through this evening and overnight, the showers move across the southern counties, and we have low pressure in the north sea throwing in some cloud and some spots of rain. for the rest of scotland, northern ireland and wales, it is going to be a dry night with some clear skies. tomorrow we say goodbye to these showers as they head to the south—east, the cloud

troubles a little further west and there will be sunshine and a few showers on either side of that until later on, more persistent rain comes in across the south—west, and that is going to be pushing north eastwards and wednesday. carol, thank you very much indeed. let's take you back to our breaking news, the statement that we have had confirmed from sir graham brady, chairman of the 1922 committee. i would just bring a few words from it. a vote of confidence in the leader of the conservative party is going to go ahead today. it says the threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the leader of the conservative party has been exceeded. in accordance with the rules, a ballot will be held between 1800 and 2000 tonight, so between 1800 and 2000 tonight, so between six and 8pm, today, monday the 6th ofjune. details are to be confirmed. so what that means is all of the

conservative mps, so what that means is all of the conservative mp5, 180 of them, go to the house of commons and have a secret ballot, so nobody knows how they are voting which creates an interesting dynamic, even cabinet ministers might vote one way or the other, we don't know. and boris johnson would need to get 50% plus one vote, and after that he is safe, there can't be another challenge for a year. but the question is, just by going through this process, by having so many have his mps writing those letters of no confidence, wanting this vote, how does that damage him? does it damaging to the point where it becomes very difficult for him to continue as we saw with theresa may, it feels like a lifetime ago, but it was only two or three years. and we are live on college green this morning because that is where that moment happen for theresa may and sir graham brady, that is where he made that statement those years ago, so there had been speculation this morning he might do the same, but we can confirm that at seven

minutes past eight this morning, the statement came through to the conservative party, released on social media, from sir graham brady who goes onto say that the votes will be counted immediately afterwards tonight, and then an announcement will be made at a time which he says to be advised. we know that a lot of conservative mps were wavering, waiting to see maybe what happened in those by—elections later in the month, but also a lot of speculation this morning that maybe this was the moment which persuaded enough of them to write those letters and to force that vote. this was the moment on friday. booing. b00|ng. you booing. you could hear that booing. we can go live to college green now, and any moment now we are expecting to see so graham brady walk into the

shot at college green. here he comes. there he is, the chair of the 1922 committee. the microphone is set up, everybody is there waiting for him to make a statement. i don't think it happens be walking past. here we go. i5 i don't think it happens be walking past. here we go.— i don't think it happens be walking past. here we go. is the microphone on, past. here we go. is the microphone on. please? — past. here we go. is the microphone on. please? they — past. here we go. is the microphone on, please? they are _ past. here we go. is the microphone on, please? they are just _ past. here we go. is the microphone on, please? they are just preparingl on, please? they are 'ust preparing for him to make _ on, please? they are 'ust preparing for him to make that _ on, please? they are just preparing for him to make that statement. i on, please? they are just preparingl for him to make that statement. the news we brought you just a few moments ago. the prime minister is facing a confidence vote tonight between six and eight o'clock. and he has been collecting those letters over months, and locking them away in a safe, not even his family, his closest friends and relatives, least of all his political mates, knew exactly how many. 0nly he knew how many letters were in that safe, but we now know...

a lot of speculation over many weeks and months about the future of boris johnson, and whether this moment would come, but there, right in front of the imposing palace of westminster, he is the man who will now coordinate that confidence vote later today. i’m now coordinate that confidence vote later toda . �* ., ., ,, ., later today. i'm not making a statement. _ later today. i'm not making a statement, i— later today. i'm not making a statement, i have _ later today. i'm not making a statement, i have sent - later today. i'm not making a statement, i have sent out i later today. i'm not making a statement, i have sent out a | later today. i'm not making a - statement, i have sent out a written statement. i really had to answer any questions you have on the process or procedure. i will say what was in the written statement of it is helpful to you, which is simply to say that the threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the prime minister has been passed, therefore a vote of confidence will take place within the rules of the 1922 committee. that vote will take place this evening in the house of commons between six and eight o'clock, and we will announce the result shortly thereafter. there

will be arrangements for proxy votes for any colleagues who can't be present in person in westminster, and we will notify colleagues of those arrangements in the future. did you communicate the news directly to the prime minister? how did he react? i directly to the prime minister? how did he react?— did he react? i am not going to go into the details _ did he react? i am not going to go into the details of— did he react? i am not going to go into the details of that. _ did he react? i am not going to go into the details of that. i - did he react? i am not going to go into the details of that. i followed | into the details of that. i followed the rules that we have in place. i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached, and we agreed the timetable for a confidence vote to take place, and he shared my view, which is also in line with the rules that we have in place, that that vote should happen as soon as because reasonably take place, and thatis because reasonably take place, and that is today. because reasonably take place, and that is today-— because reasonably take place, and that is today. how many letters have ou that is today. how many letters have you received? _ that is today. how many letters have you received? l— that is today. how many letters have you received? i don't— that is today. how many letters have you received? i don't divulge - that is today. how many letters have you received? i don't divulge that, l you received? i don't divulge that, but the threshold _ you received? i don't divulge that, but the threshold of _ you received? i don't divulge that, but the threshold of 15% _ you received? i don't divulge that, but the threshold of 15% has - you received? i don't divulge that, but the threshold of 15% has been| but the threshold of 15% has been passed. but the threshold of 15% has been assed. �* ., , but the threshold of 15% has been assed. . . , , ., passed. and when was the threshold assed? it passed. and when was the threshold passed? it is — passed. and when was the threshold passed? it is likely _ passed. and when was the threshold passed? it is likely complicated - passed? it is likely complicated because some _ passed? it is likely complicated because some colleagues - passed? it is likely complicated because some colleagues had l passed? it is likely complicated - because some colleagues had asked specifically that it should not be until the end of thejubilee celebrations. so until the end of the jubilee celebrations.— until the end of the jubilee celebrations. ,., ., celebrations. so did some of them ostdate celebrations. so did some of them postdate their _ celebrations. so did some of them postdate their letter _

those letters, which we have heard that it now has, those 54 letters, 15% of conservative mps saying that they do not have confidence in boris johnson as leader of the conservative party, the process is first that so graham brady contacted the prime minister, contacted downing street, they came up with the timetable to hold this vote. we are expecting it to be fast, speedy, and that is what we are getting today. so graham brady as you had today. so graham brady as you had today said they want to in effect get it out of the way, so it will happen today. the statement that you referred to today that so graham brady circulated earlier, it says that the vote will be, a ballot will be held between six and eight today, and that the vote will be counted immediately afterwards, and an announcement made at a time to be advised. when it was the vote of confidence theresa may, that was on the same day, at the announcement was made in a committee room inside the houses of parliament behind me. so we expect to have a result by the end of today on this.

helen, it is really interesting looking at the latest letter that went public this morning, from jesse norman mp for herefordshire, and he was normally a loyal member of the conservative party, formerly a member of the government, but he is using very strong words, talking about borisjohnson presiding over what he called a culture of casual lawbreaking, saying that it was grotesque for the prime minister to claim that he had been vindicated by the sue gray report. that language in itself very damning at a point when the prime minister is vulnerable and facing this vote? yes, it is very striking. we have seen some quite striking language from other allies, otherformer allies, people who perhaps don't normally speak out hugely strongly in recent weeks. 0n the other hand, there are those who are still passionate supporters of boris johnson is conservative party

leader. there is a real and genuine division in the party. and then there are those who fall somewhere in between, who perhaps wouldn't have wanted to trigger this contest, but are very unhappy with what has been happening, one certainly spoke to last week saying they were really conflicted, that theyjust couldn't defend some of the things that they had seen and in recent months, so there is a lot of soul—searching thatis there is a lot of soul—searching that is going to be going on in the conservative party today, because of course for many of them, they now have to come to a decision, those who have been turning this over for many months, conservative mps will now have to sit there when that ballot paper and decide if they do have confidence in borisjohnson is the conservative party leader and prime minister, or whether they don't, and whether they think somebody else should come in and its place. that is a difficult decision for many conservative mps to make, but they will have to make it today.

helen, for now, thank you very much indeed. i suspect we will be back with you very soon. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. gethin, i bet you are a happy man this morning. i am indeed, gethin, i bet you are a happy man this morning. iam indeed, my gethin, i bet you are a happy man this morning. i am indeed, my nails are terrible, i have bitten off with the nerves, but coming up today. coming up on morning live. lots of people are making their way home after thejubilee celebrations. but once again travel chaos hit airports across the uk as thousands tried to fly abroad. consumer champ matt allwright and aviation expertjeremy spake are here to explain what you can do if you've been left grounded. so many of you have been in touch about this and don't know what to do it you flight or holiday�*s been cancelled. we'll be answering as many of your questions as we can in our travel clinic to try and help. plus, month—long waits, dangerous repairs and lots of excuses.

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tara welsh. commuters are facing long queues and waits this morning as a 24—hour tube strike has started. about 4,000 station staff have walked out in a dispute overjob losses, changes to working agreements and pensions. but transport for london says nobody would lose theirjobs due to the proposals. we are heading for belgium via brussels on eurostar. it's very inconvenient because we have just arrived and we didn't know anything about it. so we probably should have done. we probably should have looked at our news, but we did not realise it. so, hopefully, we can get a cab, but i imagine cabs are going to be very busy from here. so, yeah, thanks very much, london transport. so let's have a look at what's happening out there. the elizabeth line is

running a good service. there's is a skeleton service on some lines. but the circle, victoria and waterloo & city lines are all suspended. we regret the inconvenience this has caused them. we understand that. but we have to stand up for what is right, and we have to stand by our members' jobs and pensions and their conditions of employment. i would like to apologise to customers for the disruption they are facing today. it really is a deeply frustrating and unnecessary day of strike action. what i would advise customers is really to avoid travelling into london. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man who was shot with a taser by police and then rescued from the thames. the met said it was called to reports of a man armed with a screwdriver in chelsea on saturday. he was rescued from the water but died in hospital that night. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a rather damp start this monday morning.

we have had heavy rain overnight and we still have outbreaks first thing this morning. the rain is gradually clearing eastwards. behind it, the cloud thinning and breaking this afternoon. so a few sunny spells, but, of course, a shower risk mixed in as well. temperatures today reaching around 19 celsius. 0vernight tonight, we will still see maybe one or two showers this evening. becoming drier, though. and the cloud breaking further. so some clearer spells. but you can see, edging up from the south, some cloud into tomorrow morning into the south of london. minimum temperature, nine celsius. now, for tomorrow, again, you've got this front coming up from the south. that will bring some rain perhaps for the morning. brighter, perhaps, the further north you are. but then we should see that clearing away. so some sunny spells for tuesday afternoon. again, a shower risk. temperatures a little bit warmer. maximum 21 celsius. we are under the influence of low pressure for wednesday. that will bring some heavy, potentially thundery showers. but a ridge of high pressure for thursday means it settles down a little bit. some sunshine, a drier day on thursday and temperatures getting a little bit warmer.

we will have an update in half an hour. updates on how that strike is going. we've got reporters out there this morning. please check our webite at the usual address. you can let us know how yourjoureny is going. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. if you thought you were going to be eased into the week gently, you're wrong, because it is very busy newswires. borisjohnson has said he "welcomes the opportunity to make his case to make his case to mp5". that is because tonight there will be a ballot of confidence in his

leadership. the ballot is expected to take place at six o'clock this evening. let's speak now to our political editor chris mason. finally, we are here. what happens now? the vote happens today, as you have been reporting. this is happening in turbo speed. not only has the threshold been met with senior mps writing to the senior backbencher saying they should be a vote of confidence in borisjohnson, but a decision taken between sir graham brady and downing street they should get on with it and the prime minister is keen to get on with it to try to get it out of the way. there is confidence in downing street and across the party including sceptics of borisjohnson that he will win but a vote of confidence in a leader is never a good thing because even if they win it comfortably politically it is damaging. the very act of it happening is damaging. and there

will be a number tonight where we know how many conservative mps would rather somebody else was prime minister. it is an anonymous vote. it means those who might not be tempted to say much publicly because they worry for their own prospects, can cast a vote against him in private. the vote is happening between six bm and apm the prime minister will address conservative mps during the day. he has been in touch with them. we will have a result tonight. downing street will hope they can put this behind him. but very rarely do leaders manage to be able to put votes of confidence behind them. they usually stalk them into the future, even if they win. evenif into the future, even if they win. even if he wins comfortably, it might not be a win long—term? exactly. theresa may had a similar situation where she faced a vote of confidence. sir graham brady did

something similar, striding across couege something similar, striding across college green to announce it would take place. and it took place pretty quickly. and she won comfortably, by a greater margin by the rebels then expected. it is an opaque process. it will continue to be opaque and even when we look at the result this evening. theresa may was gone within about six months. whenjohn major had a vote of confidence in the 90s, he was defeated heavily at a general election within a couple of years. borisjohnson will argue that never mind 54, that is not the number of people should be focused upon. it might be higher than 54. we know it is 54 or higher wanting this vote. what about that almost 14 million who voted conservative in the general election in 2019? one of the

biggest victories for them in the modern era. that is the argument borisjohnson will make, saying he has a mandate from the british people, who really matter in a democracy, ratherthan people, who really matter in a democracy, rather than a bunch of conservative mps who have become irritated since. but this is an indication of a culmination of frustrations that the prime minister has provoked in the minds of many mps. notjust partygate, but that has been the stimulus that caused the vote to happen right now, but also an irritation from conservatives they are not sure that they can believe him any more, that they can believe him any more, that they trust him to deliver on promises he was elected upon. and there is a fear from some that if he was leader going into an election they would lose. somebody said to me yesterday either the electorate make the decision we make the decision on the decision we make the decision on

the electoral�*s behalf. 0thers, the electoral�*s behalf. others, including supporters of boris johnson, say it is so destructive, the lesson of politics is that voters hate divided party squabbling among themselves and are self obsessed and looking inward rather than looking outward to solve the country's problems. this row gives that impression. wherever you look in the conservative party this morning, there is a sense of gloom. we will look ahead to the numbers later in the day. that is what it will be about. thank you. he is going to have a busy day. i can see him smiling off—camera. i want to look at his phone. what messages he is getting right now.

it's the anniversary of d—day today. 0njune the 6th,1944 the first allied troops began to land on the shores of northern france, to re—take it from nazi germany. more than four thousand of them would never return home. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is in normandy for us, 78 years on. i suppose they have not been able to do this in great numbers because of covid is so important for veterans to be back at the memorial today. that is why it is such a key moment today. the memorial open last year in 2021 but because of covid restrictions, veterans were not able to come. many came in october. we were here with harry bellinger and others but this is the first day on the anniversary they have been able to attend. behind me is gold beach.

try to think for a second how the skies would have been filled with aircraft and beaches with men storming up. just as is captured in this culture. it has been an incredible campaign to try to get this place built. 0pen now for a year. one person who contributed hugely to its creation and success, harry billinge. we remember him well on breakfast. i'd never seen anything like it in my life. you had the ships firing over your head and you had the germans firing from inland. 88 millimetre guns, they used. which would blow you off the face of the earth. and we haven't had a memorial, which is sad, really. thank you, darling. you began raising,

you had a target, 22,442. that's a pound for every bloke that died. that died on d—day. and you reached the target, brilliant. you are well on your way. but what you have been contributing to is a bigger memorial. the names of those who died... and the extra money we try to get through the education of youngsters. i want to show you something. this is it. this is what you've been raising money towards. and you've never seen this before. no, never. how does it make you feel? because the work you're doing, it's now concrete, it's tangible, it's there, you can touch it. ok? yeah. it means so much, huh? i'm all right.

a very special good morning to one of our greatest champions, mr harry billinge. i can't thank millions of people, millions, who have written to me from all over the world and who have subscribed to that memorial. that means more to me than anything. do you hope to get over and see the memorial? i'll be there — if i have to swim. oh. what a waste of life. marvellous men, marvellous men.

this is a marvellous memorial. i never thought i'd be here. it was his life to go and see the monument and he knew that once that memorial was built, it would never be forgotten. and it will still never will be forgotten and harry won't be forgotten. gone but not forgotten and fondly remembered by those here today. the band is starting up in the background for a service of remembrance that will take place in ten minutes. i can introduce you to joe. and to peter ricketts from the normandy memorial trust. great to see you this morning. when you come

marvellous thing for the future generation. i think they will really appreciate the views they get from this monument. and i don't know really, it is very overcoming sometimes. it's... it makes me a bit emotional. i sometimes. it's. .. it makes me a bit emotional-— emotional. iam sorry. please, lease, emotional. iam sorry. please, please. don't _ emotional. iam sorry. please, please, don't apologise. it i emotional. iam sorry. please, please, don't apologise. it is l please, don't apologise. it is entirely understandable. when you come here, do you look the names? i look for names. 0ne name i always look for names. 0ne name i always look for names. 0ne name i always look for is for my commanding officer, major swan. he was killed seven days after landing. by a

joe was saying, imagine how young he was and how young the others were, many young lads lying about how old they were to get into the army. when you look at them, incredibly young. and also fear and trepidation captured in the sculpture of what lay ahead. john maguire, poignant words and pictures from normandy. the top story we have been leading on, the story that the vote of confidence into borisjohnson's confidence into boris johnson's leadership confidence into borisjohnson's leadership of the conservative party will happen tonight. the ballot will happen between 6pm and 8pm. the result announced shortly after. that is the news we have been bringing it. chris mason said they are on turbo timing. that will unfold in the next hours.

for the first time since 1958, wales have qualified for the world cup, after they beat ukraine i—nil in a dramatic play off final in cardiff. they'll be in the same group as england, the usa and iran in the finals which are being hosted in qatar from the end of november. hywel griffith reports. being a football supporter is about savouring success and learning to deal with defeat. add solidarity with the ukrainian opposition, and cardiff was a heady mix of emotions. but only one team could claim a place in qatar. the first minute brought a flurry. ukraine put the ball in the back of the net. but the referee wasn't happy. the nerves didn't settle. wayne hennessey was kept busy. but, then, up stepped wales' captain. gareth bale delivering with a deflection. and sending hopes skywards. ukraine were unbowed, unrelenting and unable to get past wayne hennessey.

brennanjohnson could have made it more comfortable. so could gareth bale. but that would have been too easy. instead, wales had to put their bodies on the line and keep their hands on the lead that sends them to their first world cup in 64 years. wales are going to the world cup! it is just an unbelievable occasion, as well, isn't it? the reward is at the end to celebrate that with supporters. things like this will stay with you for ever. this is the best moment of my footballing career, without doubt. if you had asked me, i when i was a young kid, to do what i've done in my career and, finally, now, the final- piece in the jigsaw, i to play in a world cup. i probably would have taken 10% of it, to be honest. _ but to do what we've done for this nation, | put them on the world stage, the world map. _ they deserve everything, these fans. and that's what we try to do for them. | for ukraine, it was a step too far

after such a difficultjourney. i feel a bit like the weather — not what we came for, but well done, wales. but the team has done ukraine proud? they have. they have put a smile on our faces, at least for a little bit. but for these fans, the next step is finding a flight to doha. it has lifted the entire welsh nation and we are delighted. are you booking your flights to qatar, now? yes, we certainly are. all the way to the world cup? all the way. after 15 successive world cups watching at home, wales are finally through to qatar after winning their place on the biggest stage in world football. cheering.

well done, as anybody seen him. they say you have to book quickly. that is the challenge. pricey. november the 29th. if you woke up this morning with a strange feeling that you saw kate moss, sir cliff richard and basil brush parading through london on a fleet of double decker buses — you did. they were part of the carnival procession which concluded thejubilee celebrations, along with 10,000 arts and theatre performers. royal correspondent nicholas witchell takes a look back at a flambuoyant end to a four—day platinum party. it had all been very british. the story of the seven decades of the queen's reign. the sights, the sounds, the dance moves. the faces and all those memories. the organisers had called this

section the time of our lives. this being the story of britain, there was a good sprinkling of the mildly eccentric. on two wheels and on three. all of which, it must be said, were doing rather better than this four—wheeler. leading the pageant was the cold coach, the coach that had taken the queen to her coronation. images of her on thatjourney were projected onto the windows. the coach was making its first public appearance since the goldenjubilee in 2002. in the royal box, the prince of wales took the salute from military units representing britain's armed forces and detachments from many of the 5a members of the commonwealth. things were livening up. princess anne was clapping. and grandpa was about to be put in charge of louis.

the parade showed the modern britain — inclusive and with a focus on the environment. the queen's platinum jubilee was over. it was joyously bonkers. that is one way to describe it. eccentric at times. we're joined now by the carnival arts organisation global grooves based in greater manchester, who all took part in the pageant yesterday. benedict, i met you last week at rehearsals. you were excited then. what was it like? i met everyone for the first time, sol what was it like? i met everyone for the first time, so i was really scared. everyone was welcoming. it was so loud. i was so excited. i

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the british prime minister will face a vote of confidence in his leadership this evening. it means that 15% of the party equivalent to sa tory mps have submitted a letter of no confidence in borisjohnson's premiership. i have followed the rules that we have in place, i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached, and we agreed the timetable for a confidence vote to take place. close friend and former minister jesse norman becomes the latest mp to submit a letter, accusing the prime minister of presiding over a culture of casual law—breaking at number ten.

but at least 180 conservative mps, a majority, will have to vote against the prime minister if he is to leave office.
