6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the government condemns the death sentences handed down to two british men and a moroccan, who were captured by russian forces while fighting for ukraine. they're past the doors of the capitol! dramatic pictures of the storming of the us capitol by supporters of donald trump, are played at the start of an inquiry into last year's riot a legal challenge to stop the home office sending asylum seekers to rwanda takes place at the high court this morning. will airport problems and flight cancellations be solved by the summer holidays? after a half term marked by more
6:01 am
travel disruption businesses are racing to recruit more staff and get them ready to work. i'll be looking at what's being done. bans for the breakaway golfers. after teeing off in the controversial saudi arabia—backed golf series in hertfordshire, all 17 rebel players including the likes of phil mickleson are suspended by the pga tour. after 37 years and nearly 9,000 episodes, residents of ramsey street past and present get together for the final time today as filming of neighbours comes to an end. proud to have been part of that and it launched my career and i'm very excited to be part of the final episode. good morning. they will be a day of sunshine and showers, most in the north and west, heavy and thundery, but here we will have the strongest wind. the rest of us, fewer showers,
6:02 am
sunshine and blustery, but high or very high pollen levels across england and wales. all of the details throughout the programme. it's friday the 10th ofjune. our main story. the foreign secretary liz truss will speak to her ukrainian counterpart today to discuss the case of two british men who have been sentenced to death after being captured by russian forces while fighting in ukraine. an unrecognised court in the rebel—held area of donetsk found aiden aslin and shaun pinner, along with a moroccan man, guilty of being mercenaries. frances read reports. britain has called it a sham judgment with no legitimacy. yet both of these men could face death by firing squad. didn't really have any choice other than to surrender. this is aiden aslin during the battle for mariupol. both he and shaun pinner were captured back in april. now they are part of russia's propaganda war with moscow claiming they are foreign mercenaries.
6:03 am
they may be killed quickly as shock value, but as everyone expects they are not, then they will be held as a diplomatic tool and i think the bigger picture here, what is happening is that the russians are going to become increasingly aggressive as part of the indirect conflict against the baltic republics, against the poles, against the uk and others, who are close to the ukrainian administration. it's true that foreign fighters signed up alongside ukrainians after the russian invasion, but that's not the case for aiden and shaun. they had made their lives in ukraine some years ago, serving in its armed forces for several years prior. a us army medic trained aiden aslin. he went to ukraine in 2017. he has a ukrainian fiance. they do have, or did have a home outside of mariupol. he was part of the 36th marine brigade. so, yeah, he did have a well established life in ukraine,
6:04 am
ukrainian citizenship. kremlin—backed media showed the men arriving for sentencing in donetsk yesterday, which is under the control of pro—russian rebels. the court is not internationally recognised and the uk foreign office says it is a breach of international law to prosecute them. a view supported by the ukrainian government. the main problem is that russia, they don't follow any rules of war. they don't follow anything. that's my main message. there is no international order for them, there is no international rules for them. the foreign secretary is expected to speak to the ukrainian foreign minister this morning, in an attempt to secure their release. russian state media suggests the men have a month to appeal against their death sentences. but condemned men or simply a bargaining tool, ultimately, that's something that could be decided by president putin himself. frances read, bbc news. let's get more on this
6:05 am
with our correspondent nick beake who's in kyiv. good morning. now, all of this happened in a court in donetsk, and the fact is that that is not an internationally recognised area, so it adds more layers of confusion to this as to who exactly is breaking which international laws. goad which international laws. good morninu , which international laws. good morning. naga. _ which international laws. good morning, naga, yeah. - which international laws. good morning, naga, yeah. it- which international laws. good morning, naga, yeah. it is- which international laws. good morning, naga, yeah. it is a l morning, naga, yeah. it is a confusing picture. and at its heart, we have got a court which is not accepted by any country in the world to be free orfair or capable of delivering justice. to be free orfair or capable of deliveringjustice. no to be free orfair or capable of delivering justice. no country in the world acknowledges it to be free and fair, apart from russia, of course. but we are now at the mercy of the way that this court works, so we are told the men once to appeal and they have got 30 days to do that. we are also told that the head of this place where the sham trial,
6:06 am
as the uk calls it, has taken place, he has the power to reduce the sentences. at the moment, the men face death by firing squad. we are told that the head of this place could reduce the sentence to 25 years in prison or possibly give them a life sentence, but i think we need to be clear here, it is president putin who really calls the shots here. the men are in the mercy of his decision—making. they are in his hands. so that's why liz truss, the british foreign secretary, today is talking to her ukrainian counterparts, trying to work out what's going to happen. if there is to be any glimmer of hope for the families of the men, it is that there have been other death sentences passed in this part of the donbas, the eastern region of ukraine, but they have not been carried out. and certainly the families will be hoping of course that that continues for sometime. but this is, as you say, is very unclear, murky situation. maybe, the men might be used as some kind of
6:07 am
bilateral or might be involved in a prisoner swap, bilateral or might be involved in a prisonerswap, but bilateral or might be involved in a prisoner swap, but at the moment we have no details of that. so a lot of concern predominantly for the families but also for the british authorities who say they will be doing what they can and talking to officials in moscow to try to ensure the release of the men.— the release of the men. thank you very much — the release of the men. thank you very much for— the release of the men. thank you very much for bringing _ the release of the men. thank you very much for bringing us - the release of the men. thank you very much for bringing us that, - very much for bringing us that, nick, in kyiv. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. we were just hearing about the politics about this and those discussions liz truss will be having, tell us more.- discussions liz truss will be having, tell us more. good morning, charlie. having, tell us more. good morning, charlie- the — having, tell us more. good morning, charlie. the view _ having, tell us more. good morning, charlie. the view of _ having, tell us more. good morning, charlie. the view of the _ having, tell us more. good morning, charlie. the view of the uk - charlie. the view of the uk government is that this is a sham judgment, that these men were both fighting in ukraine legitimately as part of the ukrainian forces, and are therefore protected under international law, the geneva conventions, which are supposed to decide how people are treated if they are captured as prisoners of war. russia says that these men are mercenaries, which the foreign
6:08 am
office here completely dismisses. office here completely dismisses. there is going to be a discussion between liz truss, the foreign secretary here and her ukrainian counterpart later today, where i have no doubt that this will be a big issue. there has been some pressure from local mps representing these men for the foreign office to speak directly to russia and maybe summon the russian ambassador. there is some reluctance from some in government to do that because they don't want the uk government to be directly engaging with russia on this because they fear that it might aid to the idea that these two men were british mercenaries. the uk government says they are absolutely not, they were there fighting legitimately, and therefore, they have protection under international law. . ~' , ., , have protection under international law. ., ~ , . new graphic footage has been released of the riots at the capitol building in washington last year when supporters of donald trump stormed congress as politicians met to certinyoe biden�*s election victory.
6:09 am
the graphic pictures werehown in the first of several televised briefings by a democratic—led committee, after almost a year of investigations. 0ur washington correspondent nomia iqbal reports. they�* re marching eastbound. it's one of the most documented events in modern history. they are trying to breach and get into the capitol. and new footage shows just how close america came to losing its democracy on january the 6th. this was a highly produced hearing made for prime time tv. in which the committee said it would reveal shocking details of what happened. and aware of the rioters' chants to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it.
6:10 am
we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president, it was bleep. and for the first time, we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, i under penalty of perjury... then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by a pro—trump mob. usa, usa! i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans, asking myself how many times, many, many times, and how we had gotten here.
6:11 am
and then a british film—maker, nick quested, who filmed with the proud boys, a far right militia group accused of sparking the riot. i documented the crowd turn from protesters to rioters to insurrectionists. i was surprised by the size of the group, the anger and profanity. and for anyone who didn't understand how violent that event was, i saw it, i documented it and i experienced it. inside the hearing, those who lost loved ones wept. the word illegal was used many times in the hearing. the panel is ultimately trying to set out this case to prove that donald trump's attempt to overturn the election result led directly to the deadly riot. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. a coalition of charities is seeking an urgent injunction at the high court this morning, to try to stop the home office sending asylum seekers to rwanda from as early as next tuesday. campaigners say more than 100
6:12 am
people have been earmarked for the first flight, including afghan citizens who have recently arrived in the uk after fleeing the taliban. dominic casciani reports. a bed with a roof over it, but is it safety and sanctuary? this is one of the reception hotels waiting in rwanda's capital kigali for asylum seekers from the uk due to arrive on flights leaving next tuesday. legally controversial as a political priority for home secretary priti patel who struck the deal with the country's government to receive asylum seekers that the home office does not want to consider for refuge at home. people like these. migrants crossing the english channel this year. 10,000 since january, double the rate of last year. targeted for removal from the uk because the home office has claimed they have no legal right to seek asylum here. the home office says its rwanda policy targets migrants taking dangerous, unnecessary and illegal journeys to the uk. the rules apply to some but not all reaching the uk
6:13 am
through a safe country. rwanda will take responsibility for their asylum claims, although the uk will foot the bills. but charities say the entire plan is illegal, that's why they are today asking judges to stop it. we don't believe that anyone should be being punished for claiming asylum. the uk is a signatory to the refugee convention, the right to claim asylum is a human right. it's a one—way ticket. there is no route back to the uk even if they are then recognised theoretically in rwanda as a refugee. it's a stepping back entirely of our obligation to protect people in fear of persecution. the government recognises that the plan is so controversial it was always going to end up before the courts. but it says it's lawful to send people rwanda because they should have claimed asylum first in the eu. so today's case is notjust about what is ethically and politically possible, but about the uk's international obligations to refugees. the home office won't confirm who will be first to head to a new life in rwanda.
6:14 am
0ne charity says it includes recently arrived afghans who fled the taliban. if the charities persuade a judge to stop next week's flight, they will then try to kill the policy dead. a policy ministers say is vital to repairing a broken immigration system. dominic casciani, bbc news. a bill which would override parts of the northern ireland protocol, which governs post—brexit trading arrangements, will be put before parliament on monday. the eu has voiced strong opposition to the move and warned it could retaliate with trade sanctions. the prime minister has previously said the changes were a necessity to fix the political situation in northern ireland. two bodies have been found in the search for two disabled people, who had been missing since a boat had capsized on a lake. the incident happened on roadford lake in devon on wednesday. police said they located and recovered the bodies during a "large—scale search". one of the four people rescued from the boat is in hospital in a critical condition.
6:15 am
the chancellor has been accused of failing to act quickly enough to save £11 billion of taxpayers' money, which has been used to pay interest on the government debt. the national institute of economic and social research said the losses stemmed from rishi sunak�*s failure to insure against interest rate rises. the treasury said it has "a clear financing strategy" on debt. a former husband of the singer britney spears has been arrested at her home in los angeles after he tried to gate—crash her third wedding. 0fficers said jason alexander was able to find his way onto the property and filmed himself on social media before he was confronted by security. he has been charged with four minor offences. from last weekend's appearance on the buckingham palace balcony to selling the big issue on the streets of london. prince william's attempt at going undercover to help the homeless on wednesday didn't go unnoticed. some people realised
6:16 am
it was a great chance to grab a snap of the future king, which is how the story got out, as sarah campbell reports. prince william was in westminster, selling the big issue, which, for three decades, has helped homeless people off the streets. when this retired police officer explained he had no change, prince william whipped out the card machine. and there was help too for brian gilmore, who asked whether the william could put him in touch with the princes trust. and he did. i have to give it to him, i think he's a great prince, literally. i'd have to say he's the people's prince. to be out here first hand on the streets, dealing with people, and me, i'm an ex offender, trying to help me, do you know what i mean? like, that's big, that's rare, and yeah, he's the people's prince as far as i'm concerned. you don't want any of my recipes! it's not the first time prince william has volunteered his time to help the homeless. he's been visiting this charity, the passage, for years, a connection forged with his mother diana who brought him and harry here as children, to show them, he said,
6:17 am
life beyond the palace walls. the big issue hasn't commented, neither has kensington palace. both happy to let the pictures do the talking. sarah campbell, bbc news. you never know who you are going to pass on the streets, do you? great imaues, pass on the streets, do you? great images. aren't _ pass on the streets, do you? great images, aren't they? _ pass on the streets, do you? great images, aren't they? 17 _ pass on the streets, do you? great images, aren't they? 17 minutes i pass on the streets, do you? great i images, aren't they? 17 minutes pass six, aood images, aren't they? 17 minutes pass six. good morning. — images, aren't they? 17 minutes pass six, good morning, it's _ images, aren't they? 17 minutes pass six, good morning, it's the _ images, aren't they? 17 minutes pass six, good morning, it's the weather l six, good morning, it's the weather now, looks sunny on the streets, will it continue this week? for some of us it will, i'll start to the day. temperatures widely11 to the day. temperatures widely” to the day. temperatures widely” to 16 but windy especially in the north—west over the next few days, the wind is easing on sunday. sunny spells and blustery showers sums it up spells and blustery showers sums it up quite nicely. this weather front, the dregs of yesterday's front, producing some cloud and drizzle in the south—east which should go by mid—morning. lingering in the
6:18 am
channel islands in dry weather, windy, gusts of 55 miles an hour around the outer hebrides, some large sees there, and a plethora of showers in northern ireland in particular, some of those heavy and thundery with hail. we could see a line of showers in the south—west heading towards gloucester but they will be more isolated. temperatures today 15 to 23 degrees. the pollen levels are high or very high across england and wales, and we are talking about ross and nettle pollen. through the evening and overnight, the showers continue across scotland and northern ireland, again some will be heavy. it will be windy in the north—west, come south fewer showers, and there will be some clear skies. 0vernight lows, 11 to 13. tomorrow, still windy across the north of scotland, still a lot of showers coming in across scotland and northern ireland, heavy and thundery, and further south blustery but a lot of dry weather around. a few showers
6:19 am
and a lot of sunshine with top temperatures 22 or 23. thank you. it's been a0 years since argentina invaded the falkland islands or the malvinas as they are known in spanish. nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed in the war, more than 600 were argentinian. many in argentina regret the conflict but maintain the islands are theirs, and four decades on, there's still a real sense of loss, as our south america correspondent katy watson reports. this remote patagonian town is often referred to as the end of the world, but argentinians like to say, it is also the beginning of everything. it was from ushuaia that soldiers left on the cruiser, general belgrano. shortly after, it was torpedoed by the british, killing more than 300 argentinians. ushuaia is known as argentina's capital of the malvinas. there are references to the islands everywhere. they lost the war, but argentinians
6:20 am
are still fighting to win back the islands once more. for the younger generation, in this region, every anniversary is about marking history. the issue is still very current. "it's like we are there but we aren't," says this student. "we know what it's like, but we've never been, because we can't". the malvinas are part of the curriculum, and talk of modern day colonialism is very much part of people's lives. this is a story given to schoolchildren and endorsed by the ministry of education. it tells the story of pipino the penguin who lived happily on the malvinas with his friends until one day, the monster comes along in a pirate ship with british flags on and chucks pipino off the island. and then the story goes on, trying to explain how pipino rallies his friends, trying to get support to chuck the monster off.
6:21 am
you can see by the end of the book, the monster is still in his cave. after the war, islanders were given british citizenship. then, in 2013, there was a referendum in which more than 99% voted to remain british territory. but the argentinian government can the results. but the argentinian government contests the results. translation: english media outlets always ask me in interviews, - whether i take into consideration that there are people who have lived there for a long time. but they are the grandchildren of the usurpers. that doesn't give them a right. vetern daniel guzman lost 12 friends in 1982, their names inscribed on these walls. it was a period that marks him to this day. translation: it's in our dna - that the malvinas are argentinian. it's like a footballjersey. but, he says, the fight to win back the islands has now become political, and the government has lost its way. translation: argentina needs to talk less about the war and take more -
6:22 am
concrete action on the international stage on this remaining british colony. it's hard for islanders to want anything to do with argentina. nobody with any sense would want to be part of a country that has 50% inflation. ushuaia sits on the beagle channel, named after the ship used by naturalist charles darwin. british influence is all around here, or was. where once there was a thriving trade between the islands and argentina, these waters are now much quieter. the malvinas are cut off. the history of the malvinas or the falklands is rich and varied. it questions how you define nation through a people and land, and the debate also challenges and who has power in the world. and what effect colonialism had and for many, still has. katie watson, bbc news, in ushuaia. let's take a look at today's papers. a soviet era show trial�* is how
6:23 am
the guardian describes the death sentence given to aiden aslin and shaun pinner, two british men pictured here on the left, who were captured whilst fighting russian forces in ukraine. �*putin�*s pawns' is the headline in the metro. the paper says there's fear the two prisoners will be used as bargaining chips following the "sham" verdict. the telegraph is reporting comments made by the former brexit minister, lord frost, who says the prime minister will be ousted by autumn unless he changes course. elsewhere, the times features an image of prince william who was seen selling copies of the big issue in london earlier this week. the duke of cambridge is pictured alongside a lithuanian tourist who was in the capital for the queen's platinum jubilee celebrations. what a moment that was, look at that. ., . ., what a moment that was, look at that. ., _, ., ., g , that. you come over for the jubilee serent that. you come over for the jubilee serpent celebrations, _ that. you come over for the jubilee serpent celebrations, celebrate - that. you come over for the jubilee j serpent celebrations, celebrate the queen, 70 years, and you walk along

will be this morning. now, while most people have been able to travel without problems recently, thousands have not. i'm sure you'll have seen these sorts of pictures. this was luggage piling up at manchester this week. and we're sometimes still seeing long queues like this at heathrow. now, 876 flights from the uk have been cancelled in the past two weeks. 549 flights to the uk didn't make if off the ground either. airlines say most of the cancellations they've made are made well in advance. that's not always the case though. zoe made it to tenerife for the first family holiday since the pandemic. but cancelled wizz air flights left them stranded abroad. they kept changing their minds. we have been stranded here. when we eventually booked the flight, four
6:33 am
days later, the hotel actually managed to lay on a vast room for us which we are grateful for, otherwise we would be stranded. we received an e—mail from wizz air saying they try to because accommodation but had been unsuccessful because everywhere was fully booked. we are in quite a remote area of tenerife. delays are acceptable but abandonment for four days with no communication, i do not think is acceptable. wizz air has apologised to customers and, and pointed to a widespread industry shortage of staff. it's not the only reason for cancellations, but it has been a big issue. lots of aviation jobs were lost during the pandemic, including 30,000 at uk airlines. with covid restrictions eased and passengers returning, the industry has struggled
6:34 am
to recruit enough new staff quickly. this isn'tjust about cabin crew. we're talking about security staff, baggage handlers, workers to re—fuel the plane and cleaners. when vacancies do get filled, it takes weeks to get background and security checks done. manchester airport group told us it has 740 people waiting to go through the vetting process before they can start work. we went to a jobs fair at bristol airport to find out how recruitment was going there. obviously, the airport is struggling a bit at the moment in some ways. ijust thought, give it a try. what are they saying? they're quite keen at the moment. they wanted me to fill this out straightaway. so, like, fingers crossed, i guess. it's going really, really well. there's lots of interesting companies here _ and everybody wants| to give you a job, it's great, i'm enjoying it. typically up to 12 weeks. for your clearance and training.
6:35 am
so will these people here aren't really that much help the summer rush. they won't really be working till about september. no, they can get temporary passes and work as long as they are supported by someone else. they can start their training, they can start landside before moving outside, so, we've got workarounds. let's speak to someone who knows all about the recruitment issues. kully sandhu is the managing director of the aviation recruitment network and joins me from west london now. whichjobs are you which jobs are you finding it hard to recruit for and why?— to recruit for and why? aircraft cleanin: to recruit for and why? aircraft cleaning roles, _ to recruit for and why? aircraft cleaning roles, every - to recruit for and why? aircraft cleaning roles, every uk i to recruit for and why? aircraft | cleaning roles, every uk airport to recruit for and why? aircraft i cleaning roles, every uk airport is struggling with that at the moment. hospitality. there is a huge shortage of chefs that are also required within the hospitality and leisure side of the airport which is a real struggle. leisure side of the airport which is a real struggle-— a real struggle. quite a range of roles. a real struggle. quite a range of roles- we _ a real struggle. quite a range of roles. we know _ a real struggle. quite a range of roles. we know the _ a real struggle. quite a range of roles. we know the government a real struggle. quite a range of i roles. we know the government and businesses say they are working together to try to solve issues by the summer and we know the

government has said at the moment it won't do what the industry has said it wants, which is special visas for overseas workers. what do you think will help to get the people into the rightjobs? my will help to get the people into the riaht'obs? y , , will help to get the people into the riaht'obs? g , , . ., right “obs? my biggest challenge i am right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facin: right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facing at _ right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facing at this _ right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facing at this moment - right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facing at this moment in i right jobs? my biggest challenge i am facing at this moment in time | right jobs? my biggest challenge i l am facing at this moment in time as candidate commitment. notjust the airside pass issue or security issues, candidates are applying for jobs. because of the sheer volume of vacancies, it is a candidate buyers' market. they can pick and choose which companies they want to work for, which roles they want to apply for. in my recruitment campaigns we have advertised a large amount of vacancies and had a fantastic response. from converting the candidates from telephone interviews to face to face interviews, there is a real lack of commitment. 50% of interviewed days where candidates are not turning up for interviews.
6:37 am
we cannot start the recruitment process unless we have candidates in our talent pull attending those interviews. this our talent pull attending those interviewe— our talent pull attending those interviews. �* , , ., ., interviews. as things are, do you think there _ interviews. as things are, do you think there is _ interviews. as things are, do you think there is a _ interviews. as things are, do you think there is a chance _ interviews. as things are, do you think there is a chance the i interviews. as things are, do you l think there is a chance the industry can get people into the rightjobs ijy can get people into the rightjobs by the summer? i do can get people into the right “obs by the summer?i by the summer? i do believe the industry is _ by the summer? i do believe the industry is doing _ by the summer? i do believe the industry is doing everything i by the summer? i do believe the industry is doing everything they! industry is doing everything they can to get the volumes of individuals. people need to appreciate it is volumes of individuals. we are not talking about one or two vacancies, we are talking about each apple having a huge amount of vacancies in all areas. —— each airport. they have people in the process being security cleared. we need people to commit to the vetting process and give us the time we need to get their checks done. . ~ time we need to get their checks done. . ,, i. ., ., , , done. thank you for “oining us this morninu. done. thank you for “oining us this morning. wish done. thank you for “oining us this morning. this does i done. thank you forjoining us this morning. this does not _ done. thank you forjoining us this morning. this does not seem i done. thank you forjoining us this morning. this does not seem to i done. thank you forjoining us this i morning. this does not seem to have a quick fix but businesses say they
6:38 am
are making progress. some airlines have scaled back their renditions quite made advance cancellations and taken some flights out of the schedules for the summer. the point of that is to make sure you have made advance cancellations to prevent the chances of on the day disruption actually in the summer at peak times. it gives people the chance to pick something else if they are able to. thank you so much. mikejoins us with their sport. i do not play golf a lot but i know it is a game all about timing. yesterday, as the tournament started. the golf tournament started. the golf tournament shaking the sport to its core. it has intensified because no sooner had the players teed off in this controversial tournament as
6:39 am
soon as they teed off they were all banned from the pga tour. not a great surprise! we were expecting some form of punishment. it happened when they played the first hole, basically. ian poulter has said he will appeal the decision, others have said they are not that bothered that they can play in the us open next week. the idea is logistically be too difficult to remove them all from the card. they can still compete in the us open. was it literally once they hit their first ball? they would have been looking at the bones and it was on an e—mail that the tournament was under way but only when they saw their e—mails. they knew it was coming. the players, who are getting huge amounts of money for appearing in the first tournament of this saudi arabia—funded series, had just teed off when an email was sent out, suspending them from the pga tour.
6:40 am
it announced all of its players, who are competing in this week's event will be suspended, although this won't apply to next week's us open, which is too soon. now in response, the organisers of the breakaway series, hit back, calling the pga tour "vindictive," and saying the ban, "deepens the divide between the tour and its members." six—time major winner phil mickelson is among the biggest names to be affected, but says he'll be playing in the liv golf events for the next few years. i was kind of saying that i didn't feel contractual agreements should be public. whether i like it or not, i'm not going to discuss it. but i am going to play all of the liv events. to answer your question, i'll be participating in all the events. i know that there's. .. i'm going to play the eight this year, i'm going to play the ten next year, i can tell you that. in football, northern ireland's disappointing run continues. they were beaten 3—2 away from home to kosovo in the nations league. the home side were two goals ahead early on, and never really looked threatened after that. daniel ballard got the second
6:41 am
of northern ireland's two consolation goals, but the result now adds more pressure on manager ian baraclough. they've now gone 13 games without a win in the competition. it's congratulations to liverpool's mohamed salah and chelsea's sam kerr, who have been named the pfa players' players of the year in the men's and women's game. salah narrowly missed out on winning the premier league title, and the champions league, but won the fa and league cups. both salah and kerr were their respective league's top scorers, and this award is voted for by other players. i guess that means all the more because of that. another hugely worrying day ahead for derby county's fans after the club's proposed takeover suffered another blow. the club's administrators say the current deal with american businessman chris kirchner will be off, if he doesn't show evidence that he can complete the deal by 5 o'clock this evening. the football league called this news "incredibly disapointing," while the club's administrators are now engaging with other
6:42 am
potential buyers. the former newcastle owner mike ashley has expressed an interest, as have a set of local businessmen. britain's dina asher—smith said she was quite happy afterfinishing 3rd in the 200 metres in the diamond league meeting in rome. asher—smith, who'll defend her world title in the united states next month, ran a season's best time of 22.27 seconds, but it wasn't enough to beat the olympic champion elaine thompson—heera who came second, and her fellow jamaican shericka jackson who won the race. olympic silver medalist laura muir continued her comeback from a back injury with a third place, in another high—quality field, in the 1,500 metres. the world championships are just five weeks away. andy murray is warming up for wimbledon rather well. he continued with his strong start to the grass court season by reaching the quarterfinals of the stuttgart open, beating alexander bublik. murray battled through two tough sets, to book his place in the last eight. he'll face top seed stefanos, tsitsipas next, as his build—up
6:43 am
to wimbledon continues. it's less than three weeks until the doors at the all england club open, but this year will be the last time that sue barker presents the bbc�*s television coverage from the championships. barker firstjoined the team in 1993, afterfinishing her playing career, and since 2000 has anchored the fortnight�*s broadcast. the decision brings to an end her career at the bbc, in which she also presented the olympic games and sports personality of the year. she says that she will "miss it terribly but after 30 years i feel the time is right for me. i've worked with the best of the best." england's cricketers are back in action this morning. they're at trent bridge for the start of their second test against new zealand. england have named an unchanged team after winning the first test. turning it around pretty dramatically. spinnerjack leach keeps his place — despite suffering concussion in the first match at lords.
6:44 am
and ben stokes says he's feeling at home in his new role as captain. with thejob, you know, there comes more responsibility and stuff, outside of performing on the pitch and stuff like that. but i have really enjoyed it, and just tried to still be myself around the group and not put any more pressure onto myself, because, i don't mean to be blowing smoke up my own trumpet, but i always felt like i have been someone that the lads have looked to in how i operate. so that's not changed. i would say this skies looks set their for the cricket. let's speak to someone who doesn't. what is the answer? mike is absolutely right. such a star! no bad words about him. a beautiful start to the day to day.
6:45 am
you can see from this picture taken in north tyneside earlier. also a mild start as well. the temperature range 11 in the northern isles, 12 in manchester and 16 in the south east. the temperatures will continue to rise. low pressure is dragging the weather. here are the remnants of tropical storm alex. you can see from the wind arrows and isobars it will be a windy day, especially in the north—west. pollen levels are high or very high across england and wales. we are talking grass pollen and also nettle pollen as well. if you have an allergy to either of those, dubarry in mind. the cloud will hang around the channel islands and there will be dry weather and sunshine. you can see the showers
6:46 am
across northern ireland and scotland and some will be thundery with hail mixed in. there could be a shower in the south—west of england and maybe wales. it will be blustery wherever you are but the strongest winds will be across the north and west, particularly the outer hebrides. large cities around the outer hebrides and the mallon had area. overnight there will be clear skies. still strong wins across the north west. temperature wise falling away to roughly 11 to 13 degrees. as we head into saturday, the low—pressure dress a little bit further north eastwards. you can see from the isobars and the wind arrows where the strongest winds are. further south ridge of high pressure
6:47 am
building on. not as windy, it will be breezy. we have showers merging to give longer spells of rain. some of that will be heavy and thundery. showers coming in across northern ireland. for much of england and wales it will be dry and sunny. we are looking at temperatures 1a to 22 degrees. as we move into sunday, you can see how their drifts up towards the norwegian sea. a lot of isobars in the north of the country. not as windy it will still be wendy. south we have high pressure building in. not as many showers across scotland and northern ireland as we are looking at in the next couple of days. temperatures down a touch, 13 to 21. if you like your temperatures higher, it looks like on tuesday somewhere in the south—east could well have temperatures of 2a, 25, and that is the start of royal

ascot. thank you very much. we will see you later. beautiful weatherfor the races. a 17th—century shipwreck has been uncovered off the norfolk coast, and it's being described as the most important maritime discovery since the raising of the mary rose. the gloucester sank 340 years ago while carrying the future king of england, james stuart. but the ship's whereabouts were unknown until a team of divers unearthed it after a four—year search. jo black reports. beneath the surface, 30 miles off the yarmouth coast, lies the gloucester — a 17th—century warship, which came to a tragic end. it sank 340 years ago after hitting a sandbank. on board was the future king of england, james stuart, duke of york. he survived, but others did not. it's estimated between 130 and 250 people died that morning in may. since 1682, the vessel remained half buried
6:49 am
on the seabed and its exact location was unknown. now we know that it's been discovered, it's caused much excitement, with some saying that this is the most important maritime find since the mary rose. and these are the two brothers who located the royal ship — julian and lincoln barnwell are norfolk—based printers, but they're also professional divers. and after years of looking for second world war wrecks, they wanted a new challenge. would you believe there's 40,000 wrecks around the whole of the uk? so... and it's quite a lot. there's a lot off norfolk. we've done lots of those — great, great adventures. but there was always, you know, what's next, what's next? a search of lincoln's encyclopedia of shipwrecks set them on the trail for the gloucester. its age and royal connections an obvious draw, as well as its warfare. so i picked the phone up that night, rang up my brotherjulian. i knew what he'd say and i said, "are you up for a new adventure,
6:50 am
and go looking for the gloucester? sank in 1682. cannon everywhere potentially. " and he was just in there like a flash, and off we went. after a four—year search over 5,000 nautical miles, they finally found it. i could see dark shadow on the seabed. so, you know, you're on some wreck, which is just really fantastic, obviously. and before you know it, anotherfive metres or so, i was kneeling on the seabed and surrounded byjust fantastically huge cannon and there was more than one. there was a group of them, and ijust knelt there, took the moment in for probably five minutes. just, just, just unbelievable. just something i'll never forget. basically, i said to lincoln, don't pretend when you come to the surface that you found it, because i'll give you a rude sign. i knew he was serious when he came back to the surface because he popped up, and normally take all your kit off because it's really heavy. he was so pumped with adrenaline, he just climbed up our stainless steel ladders, hand extended
6:51 am
and said, "we found her." i fell over, didn't i? you did. then he fell over. and they've recovered many fascinating artefacts. pipes still full of tobacco, spectacles with spare lenses, and bottles, some of them with wine still inside. and there is also the ship's bell. i think we have, we hope, a well—preserved time capsule of this luxurious royal voyage. we've just scratched the surface. the rescue archaeology to date has brought up a big range of diverse and very significant finds. many will want to see the gloucester raised, but whether that's possible is still to be determined with much more historical, scientific and archaeological work to do. jo black, bbc news. after 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes, the residents of ramsay street will get together for the final time, as the filming of neighbours comes
6:52 am
to an end today. you will probably see behind some of the faces you may remember from the past. the aussie soap launched the careers of a number of hollywood actors and pop stars — with kylie minogue and jason donovan amongst those returning for a final farewell. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. # neighbours.# over the decades... # everybody needs good neighbours.# its theme tune has graced so many of our living rooms. and today neighbours wraps production for the final time. cast members old and new have been reuniting this week, returning to ramsay street for one last hurrah, including neighbours icon ian smith, known for his role as harold bishop. i love you. i love you too. also coming back are arguably the soap's most famous couple — jason donovan and kylie minogue — aka scott and charlene. it was lovely, emotional.
6:53 am
driving into ramsay street was quite something. i was like, firstly, where's all that time gone? secondly, everything looks exactly the same. thirdly, scott, charlene, jane, harold. i mean it all... it all came flooding back. neighbours has sort of, you know, change the landscape for a lot of, you know, people and how they viewed australians and it certainly kept my family in business for a while. so i'm proud to have been part of that and it launched my career. i'm very excited to be part of the final episode. the australian soap has been part of british culture for almost 40 years. enjoyed by fans of all ages. created in 1985, it was first broadcast on bbc one the following year. as well as packing a punch with audiences,
6:54 am
the show helped make stars of many of its young cast. scott and charlene's romance was one of the storylines that helped make what was initially a struggling australian soap... # suddenly you'll see me.# ..into a major uk hit. their wedding in 1988 was watched here by close to 20 million viewers. the show�*s themes may not have been hugely original, but their setting, in a sunny suburb of melbourne, populated by a cast of colourful characters... this is something special. ..proved irresistibly popular here in the uk, rarely hitting a... harold! ..duff note with viewers, even perhaps at its most surreal moment ever — bouncer the dog dreaming of love and marriage.
6:55 am
21 years after its first episode on british tv, it moved from bbc one to channel five. let's celebrate. stefan dennis's paul robinson may be the only remaining original, but with the transgender role of mackenzie hargreaves and gay characters like aaron brennan and david tanaka, the soap has not only constantly replenished its cast, but has also aimed to better reflect modern society. over the decades, the residents of ramsey street have survived fires... watch out! ..car crashes, explosions, even a plane crash. what? read it. it could save your life. but with so much of its funding, having come from channel 5, it's their withdrawal and tv economics that have finally killed off the much—loved soap. we've run out of fuel. the show may soon be over, but
6:56 am
the love story between neighbours and its viewers is sure to endure forever. lizo mzimba, bbc news. standout perm and mullet in that shot! sounds like a comedy duo, doesn't it? if you have any thoughts about neighbours... we were having this conversation a moment ago. about 9000 episodes. that sounds a lot but there are other soaps which may be more famous over here, coronation street and neighbours, but there is not much difference actually because it was on five days actually because it was on five days a week. do you have a favourite moment? perhaps there were some in that report. get in touch. we will
6:57 am
be a bit nostalgic later in the programme. get in touch by e—mail on the website and of course twitter. good morning from bbc london. five years on from the tragedy at grenfell tower those affected say they can't heal from the trauma suffered because of the long wait for anyjustice. the public inquiry is due to finish later this summer but next week marks the fifth anniversary of the fire. the fact that we are here discussing issues around cladding still being on so many buildings, so little progress on the white paper and social housing and people that live in social housing, the complete lack of progress on phase one recommendations makes moving on really difficult and, you know, we have to continue

7:01 am
dramatic pictures of the storming of the us capitol by supporters of donald trump, are played at the start of an inquiry into last year's riot. a legal challenge to stop the home office sending asylum seekers to rwanda takes place at the high court this morning. bans for the breakaway golfers after teeing off in the controversial saudi arabia—backed series in hertfordshire, all 17 rebel players, including phil mickleson, are suspended by the pga tour. an artist's impression of when paddington met the queen. we'll hear from the creator of this delightful drawing, inspired by the platinum jubilee. good morning. for many of us it will be a dry day today with the odd isolated shower and a blustery, the exception will be across scotland and northern ireland where the showers will be heavy, frequent and thundery, and it is going to be windy, especially so with exposure. i will have the details throughout the programme. it's friday the 10th ofjune.
7:02 am
our main story. the foreign secretary liz truss will speak to her ukrainian counterpart today to discuss the case of two british men who have been sentenced to death after being captured by russian forces while fighting in ukraine. an unrecognised court in the rebel—held area of donetsk found aiden aslin and shaun pinner, along with a moroccan man, guilty of being mercenaries. frances read reports. britain has called it a sham judgment with no legitimacy. yet both of these men could face death by firing squad. didn't really have any choice other than to surrender. this is aiden aslin during the battle for mariupol. both he and shaun pinner were captured back in april. now they are part of russia's propaganda war with moscow claiming they are foreign mercenaries. they may be killed quickly as shock value, but as everyone expects they are not, then they will be held as a diplomatic tool and i think the bigger picture here, what is happening is that the russians are going to become increasingly aggressive as part
7:03 am
of the indirect conflict against the baltic republics, against the poles, against the uk and others, who are close to the ukrainian administration. it's true that foreign fighters signed up alongside ukrainians after the russian invasion, but that's not the case for aiden and shaun. they had made their lives in ukraine some years ago, serving in its armed forces for several years prior. a us army medic trained aiden aslin. he went to ukraine in 2017. he has a ukrainian fiance. they do have, or did have a home outside of mariupol. he was part of the 36th marine brigade. so, yeah, he did have a well established life in ukraine, ukrainian citizenship. kremlin—backed media showed the men arriving for sentencing in donetsk yesterday, which is under the control of pro—russian rebels. the court is not internationally
7:04 am
recognised and the uk foreign office says it is a breach of international law to prosecute them. a view supported by the ukrainian government. the main problem is that russia, they don't follow any rules of war. they don't follow anything. that's my main message. there is no international order for them, there is no international rules for them. the foreign secretary is expected to speak to the ukrainian foreign minister this morning, in an attempt to secure their release. russian state media suggests the men have a month to appeal against their death sentences. but condemned men or simply a bargaining tool, ultimately, that's something that could be decided by president putin himself. frances read, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. good nick eardley is in westminster. morning, nick. liz this good morning, nick. liz truss has this meeting today with her ukrainian counterpart?
7:05 am
this meeting today with her ukrainian counterart? , ., ukrainian counterpart? yes, morning, nara. a ukrainian counterpart? yes, morning, naga- a call — ukrainian counterpart? yes, morning, naga- a call with _ ukrainian counterpart? yes, morning, naga. a call with the _ ukrainian counterpart? yes, morning, naga. a call with the ukrainian - naga. a call with the ukrainian foreign secretary later this morning where i have no doubt that these cases will be raised. the uk firmly believes that this is a sham judgment, that it has no legitimacy. and the argument that the foreign office makes is that these men were in ukraine legitimately, they remembers of the ukrainian armed forces legitimately —— they were members of the armed forces legitimately so they should be protected as prisoners of war under the geneva convention. that is not what is happening at the moment. the russian side has made the argument they are mercenaries, the uk says thatis they are mercenaries, the uk says that is complete nonsense. there have been some calls for the government to summon the russian ambassador, robertjenrick, the mp for the parents of aiden aslin, has made that call in the last 24 hours. there is some reluctance i am picking up within the foreign office
7:06 am
to get involved in this directly in terms of negotiations with russia. and the reason for that is, they don't want this to become a bilateral issue between the uk and russia, because they fear that that would give some credit to the idea that these guys were british citizens out fighting as mercenaries. the foreign office is absolutely adamant that these men were fighting legitimately as part of the ukrainian forces, and therefore, they are protected under international law, and russia should respect that. international law, and russia should reapect that-— respect that. thank you for exoiaining _ respect that. thank you for explaining that, _ respect that. thank you for explaining that, we - respect that. thank you for explaining that, we will i respect that. thank you for i explaining that, we will speak to you later, nick. new video footage has been released of the riots at the capitol building in washington last year when supporters of donald trump stormed congress as politicians met to certinyoe biden's election victory. the graphic images were shown in the first of several televised briefings by a democratic—led committee, after almost a year of investigations. our washington correspondent nomia iqbal reports. they�* re marching eastbound.
7:07 am
it's one of the most documented events in modern history. they are trying to breach and get into the capitol. and new footage shows just how close america came to losing its democracy on january the 6th. this was a highly produced hearing made for prime time tv. in which the committee said it would reveal shocking details of what happened. and aware of the rioters' chants to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it. we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president, it was bleep. and for the first time,
7:08 am
we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, i under penalty of perjury... then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by a pro—trump mob. usa, usa! i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans, asking myself how many times... many, many times, how we had gotten here. and then a british film—maker, nick quested, who filmed with the proud boys, a far right militia group accused of sparking the riot.

i documented the crowd turn from protesters to rioters to insurrectionists. i was surprised by the size of the group, the anger and profanity. and for anyone who didn't understand how violent that event was, i saw it, i documented it and i experienced it. inside the hearing, those who lost loved ones wept. the word illegal was used many times in the hearing. the panel is ultimately trying to set out this case to prove that donald trump's attempt to overturn the election result led directly to the deadly riot. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. a coalition of charities is seeking an urgent injunction at the high court this morning, to try to stop the home office sending asylum seekers to rwanda from as early as next tuesday. campaigners say more than 100 people have been earmarked for the first flight, including afghan citizens who have recently arrived in the uk after fleeing the taliban. dominic casciani reports.
7:10 am
a bed with a roof over it, but is it safety and sanctuary? this is one of the reception hotels waiting in rwanda's capital kigali for asylum seekers from the uk due to arrive on the flight leaving next tuesday. legally controversial as a political priority for home secretary priti patel who struck the deal with the country's government to receive asylum seekers that the home office does not want to consider for refuge at home. people like these. migrants crossing the english channel this year. 10,000 since january, double the rate of last year. targeted for removal from the uk because the home office has claimed they have no legal right to seek asylum here. the home office says its rwanda policy targets migrants taking dangerous, unnecessary and illegal journeys to the uk. the rules apply to some but not all reaching the uk through a safe country. rwanda will take responsibility for their asylum claims, although the uk will foot the bills. but charities say the entire plan is illegal, that's why they are today asking judges to stop it.
7:11 am
we don't believe that anyone should be being punished for claiming asylum. the uk is a signatory to the refugee convention, the right to claim asylum is a human right. it's a one—way ticket. there is no route back to the uk even if they are then recognised theoretically in rwanda as a refugee. it's a stepping back entirely of our obligation to protect people in fear of persecution. the government recognises that the plan is so controversial it was always going to end up before the courts. but it says it's lawful to send people to rwanda because they should have claimed asylum first in the eu. so today's case is notjust about what is ethically and politically possible, but about the uk's international obligations to refugees. the home office won't confirm who will be first to head to a new life in rwanda. one charity says it includes recently arrived afghans who fled the taliban. if the charities persuade a judge to stop next week's flight, they will then try to kill the policy dead.

a policy ministers say is vital to repairing a broken immigration system. dominic casciani, bbc news. a bill which would override parts of the northern ireland protocol, which governs post—brexit trading arrangements, will be put before parliament on monday. the eu has voiced strong opposition to the move and warned it could retaliate with trade sanctions. the prime minister has previously said the changes were needed to fix the political situation in northern ireland. a former husband of the singer britney spears has been arrested at her home in los angeles after he tried to gate—crash her third wedding to partner sam ashgari. officers said jason alexander found his way onto the property and filmed himself on social media before he was confronted by security. it comes seven months after britney was freed from a legal arrangement, that she said prevented her from getting married. from standing on the buckingham palace balcony last weekend to selling the big issue in london on wednesday,

prince william's attempt at going undercover to help the homeless didn't go unnoticed. the duke of cambridge soon caught the attention of passers—by, who realised it was a great chance to grab a snap with the future king. neither big issue or kensington palace have commented on the prince's appearance. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is that time, injune, quite a few summer sporting events are happening all around the corner. that's right. this is one of them, the test match cricket today and over the next few days, looking set fair for this. over the next few days, looking set fairforthis. dry over the next few days, looking set fairfor this. dry woods over the next few days, looking set fair for this. dry woods and sunshine, turning cooler as the end of the week —— dry with some sunshine, turning cooler at the end of the weekend was to blustery winds. i'll start to the day, sunshine, dregs of the weather front
7:14 am
yesterday will linger across the channel islands and the south—west. away from these areas, mostly dry and sunny. until we get to northern ireland and western scotland because we have some showers here, and windy conditions around the outer hebrides. there windy conditions will pick up during the day, gusts of gale force in the outer hebrides, shower is becoming more prolific in scotland and northern ireland. some heavy and thundery with some hail. one or two in south—west england as well. most of us will stay dry with highs of up to 22 degrees. this evening and overnight, we hang on to the showers in northern ireland and scotland, still windy here, further south, there will be fewer showers. clear skies and temperatures falling away between 12 and 13 degrees. as we head through the course of tomorrow, a lot of dry weather for england and wales. not as windy as

today. might see the odd shower spring up here and there but few and far between. for northern ireland and scotland, showers will be more prolific and heavy and thundery, strongest winds by then will be across the north. thank you, see you later on. it's warned that nurses will suffer a huge wage hit this year if their pay isn't raised above the soaring rate of inflation. the union the tuc said if ministers agree to a 3% pay settlement, its analysis shows wages could be down in real terms by £1,600 pounds a year because of today's high inflation rate. a 3% pay rise was awarded to nhs workers in 2021. this meant the average nurse earned an extra £1,000 per year, while porters and cleaners received around £540. however, in the same year, more than 25,000 nurses quit the profession. the royal college of nursing says in order to stop nhs workers leaving and finding roles elsewhere,
7:16 am
this year's pay rise needs to be above inflation, which is currently at nine per cent. it says the new pay offer needs to notjust match inflation, but be 5% above it. here's what both the heath secretary, sajid javid and the shadow heath secretary, wes streeting told breakfast this week when they were asked if they thought an nhs pay rise should exceed inflation this year. when we look at pay in government we are advised by the independent pay review bodies. they take into account a number of things, including inflation. no doubt they will in their upcoming recommendations. i'm not going to pre—empt what they may or may not say, and i would look to that first before the government makes a decision. when i was campaigning around the country in the local elections before may, i will never forget the visits that i did to the food bank in colchester where they were telling me that nurses were turning to the food banks.
7:17 am
so, you know, we wait to see what the pay review body says. personally, i would like to see a particular focus on those on the lower pay bands, among the lowest paid workers, not just in the nhs but in social care, because people are really struggling at the moment. we're joined now by sian elliott from the tuc. good elliott from the tuc. morning. first of all, we had two good morning. first of all, we had two politicians there, most importantly the health secretary, saying he did not want to pre—empt the verdict of what that pay recommendation should be, what about you, what can you tell us? we recommendation should be, what about you, what can you tell us?— you, what can you tell us? we know that nhs workers _ you, what can you tell us? we know that nhs workers across _ you, what can you tell us? we know that nhs workers across the - you, what can you tell us? we know| that nhs workers across the country are facing really stark choices. can they afford to keep food on the table, a roof over theirfamilies heads, pay their energy bills which are soaring, and put enough fuel in their tanks so they can get to and from work? that's because for the last decade, the government have held down the pay for nurses, paramedics, porters and others in
7:18 am
the nhs. many are thousands of pounds worse off in real terms today than they were in 2010. and we are warning the government if they don't get paid for nurses and those in the nhs right this year, then many of them will vote with their feet. and we will lose skilled, experienced staff and we just can't afford to do that. staff and we 'ust can't afford to do that. . , , ., staff and we 'ust can't afford to do that. . , i. ,., . ,, staff and we 'ust can't afford to do that. . , i. . ,, ., that. can i bring you back to the issue of numbers, _ that. can i bring you back to the issue of numbers, it's _ that. can i bring you back to the issue of numbers, it's widely i issue of numbers, it's widely accepted that a lot of nurses will be suffering in terms of the cost of living crisis, but what are the figures you think would be acceptable?— figures you think would be acce table? , ., , , ., acceptable? everyone deserves a decent days _ acceptable? everyone deserves a decent days pay _ acceptable? everyone deserves a decent days pay with _ acceptable? everyone deserves a decent days pay with a _ acceptable? everyone deserves a decent days pay with a decent i acceptable? everyone deserves a i decent days pay with a decent days work. no nerves or anyone working in the nhs should be having to tear —— turn to a food bank, debt or universal credit in order to get by. their weight should be sufficient. that means a pay rise —— their wagers should be sufficient. that
7:19 am
means a pay rise which keeps pace with inflation so they cannot only break even but they will thrive, which means that they wider economy will thrive, because when the nhs workers and public sector workers have money in their pocket, they are not only able to meet their household bills but they can go into the shops and restaurants in the high street and keep the private economy going as well which is really important. i economy going as well which is really important.— economy going as well which is really important. i will keep asking the same question, _ really important. i will keep asking the same question, talk— really important. i will keep asking the same question, talk to - really important. i will keep asking the same question, talk to me i really important. i will keep asking i the same question, talk to me about numbers. is well aware that inflation is either nine or ten, beyond that, in terms of the pay offer full nurses, what are you talking about figures wise? arnie offer full nurses, what are you talking about figures wise? we are talkin: talking about figures wise? we are talking about _ talking about figures wise? we are talking about a _ talking about figures wise? we are talking about a pay _ talking about figures wise? we are talking about a pay offer _ talking about figures wise? we are talking about a pay offer being i talking about figures wise? we are talking about a pay offer being fair| talking about a pay offer being fair to everyone in the nhs, to reflect the rising cost of living. we want to see the government sitting around the table with employers and unions talking about what that fair pay

bursary was cut, things that we need to make sure our flicks. the government should be asking, how do we retain the staff we have already got, and for us, that starts with a fair pay deal. once you fix that, you fix the leaky pipeline, the leakage of skilled and experienced staff which creates huge pressures on the staff that are left remaining who try to plug the gaps. we really need to get this government focusing on recruitment, but also on retention. on recruitment, but also on retentien-— on recruitment, but also on retention. �* ., ., ., ,, ., retention. and to do that... sian elliott, retention. and to do that... sian elliott. thank— retention. and to do that... sian elliott, thank you _ retention. and to do that... sian elliott, thank you very _ retention. and to do that... sian elliott, thank you very much. - retention. and to do that... sian i elliott, thank you very much. thank ou. women are wasting their time and money buying do—at—home menopause—testing kits and their results could cause anxiety, confusion, and even lead to unplanned pregnancies. that's the warning from doctors, who say the urine tests are not predictive enough to tell whether a woman is going through the phase. our health reporter, michelle roberts, has more. lots of high street chemists now sell menopause
7:23 am
self—testing kits like these. you can buy them without a prescription for around £10. the tests look for hormone called fsh in in urine, and give a result within minutes. but top uk doctors are advising women not to use them. while the tests are good at measuring fsh, which helps manage the menstrual cycle, they cannot reliably predict whether a woman will soon stop ovulating and having periods. that's because fsh levels can vary greatly day—to—day or month—to—month. high fsh can also mean a woman is fertile and about to release an egg. and a negative test does not rule out menopause. dr haitham hamoda is from the british menopause society and the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists. he says the tests could cause anxiety and confusion and might even contribute to unplanned pregnancies. we would advise women not to do these tests
7:24 am
because of the limitations of what the test is telling you. your doctor is not going to do an fsh, they are going to ask you what symptoms are you having, what's happening with your periods, and they're going to make a diagnosis based on that. nhs guidelines also discourage fsh testing for women who are 45 and older and experiencing menopausal symptoms. manufacturers of tests like these contacted by the bbc say they were an indicator, but not diagnostic, all meant to replace medical advice. users should still speak with their doctor. experts advise that if you are concerned about the menopause and are experiencing troubling symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and low mood, see your gp. treatments can help. michelle roberts, bbc news. we'rejoined now by dr annice mukherjee, a consultant physician and endocrinologist.

7:36 am
the russian ambassador, so we as a country are very clear you cannot treat british citizens in this absolutely outrageous way. this will primarily be a negotiation between the ukrainian government and the russian authorities. i hope that a prisoner swap can be negotiated quickly. there are prisoner exchanges happening quickly between ukraine and the russian army. the ukrainian ambassador told me last night they would give priority to aiding and sean in one of those exchanges but that relies on russia playing ball, being reasonable and abiding by international law. nothing in recent weeks and months suggest vladimir putin to set because he has been committing war crimes like this trial and worse left right and centre. the difficulty _ left right and centre. the difficulty of _ left right and centre. the difficulty of this, - left right and centre. the difficulty of this, you - left right and centre. the difficulty of this, you have alluded this will be potentially an issue between ukraine and russia in terms of prisoner swaps and negotiations.
7:37 am
the difficulty is russia does not recognise... i am looking at the geneva convention. it defines mercenaries as unlawful combatants and they do not therefore have the right to be considered combatants or to be taken as prisoners of war. the word war, russia is not saying this is a war, therefore it's invasion isn't coming under the geneva convention. it makes the territory very muddy in terms of trying to pin who is right and who was rung down here. t who is right and who was rung down here. ., ., ~' who is right and who was rung down here. ., ., ~ ., , here. i do not think that is right. this is a fairly _ here. i do not think that is right. this is a fairly straightforward i this is a fairly straightforward situation. these were members of the ukrainian armed forces. all members of armies are subject to the geneva convention and should be properly looked after, not put on show trials and sentenced to death in this way. the russian authorities had thousands of ukrainian soldiers, the ukrainians have thousands of russian
7:38 am
soldiers in a care in captivity. there are exchanges going on. these two british nationals have been looked out of the normal process and essentially used as hostages to make a point to try to gain advantage either over the uk all over ukraine. we are saying is completely unacceptable, a flagrant breach of international law. they need to be treated properly and be considered in the normal way for a prisoner exchange. i hope that is what will happen. in the meantime this is an enormously stressful experience for two british families, who have watched their sons and grandsons being put on this trial, being beaten, the health deteriorating, and now this risk of execution. it is totally unacceptable. it now needs to be resold. i am really pleased the foreign secretary is going to raise this with her

7:40 am
controversial tour. the players knew there would be consequences. they seem to think it was worth the risk, worth the moneyjust for appearing worth the money just for appearing on worth the moneyjust for appearing on this controversial tour. the latest twist in this controversy, which is shaking golf to its core, has intensified the bitterness between the golfers competing in the breakaway series, and the pga tour. as soon as the players had teed off in the first tournament of this multi—million pound series funded by saudi arabia, then the pga tour sent an email suspending all the rebel players from its events, although this won't apply to next week's us open, which is too soon. in response, the organisers of the breakaway series, hit back, calling the pga tour "vindictive," and saying the ban, "deepens the divide between the tour and its members." six—time major winner phil mickelson, is among the biggest names to be affected, but says he'll be playing in the liv golf events for the next few years.
7:41 am
ididn't i didn't feel contractual agreements should be public. whether i like it or not, i'm not going to discuss it. but i am going to play all of the liv events. to answer your question, i'll be participating in all the events. i know that there's. .. i'm going to play the eight this year, i'm going to play the ten next year, i can tell you that. now tough times for northern ireland men's football team. another defeat — this time to kosovo, a nation 53 places below them in the world rankings. kosovo making home advantage count, going two up early on and never really looked threatened after that. daniel ballard got the second of northern ireland's two goals, but they lost 3—2, and the result now adds more pressure on manager ian baraclough. they've now gone 13 games without a win in the competition. now tennis, and a brilliant achivement for britain's harriet dart. she saved three match points and then won a tie break, to stun third seed camila giorgi, at the nottingham open and reach herfirst wta quarter—final. dart is nearly 100 places lower in the rankings and said she couldn't quite believe it.
7:42 am
andy murray has continued with his strong start to the grass court season by reaching the quarter—finals of the stuttgart open, beating alexander bublik. murray battled through two tough sets, to book his place in the last 8. he'll face top seed stefanos tsitsipas next, as his build—up to wimbledon continues. and wimbledon is less than three weeks away, but this year will be the last time that sue barker presents the bbc�*s television coverage from the championships. barker firstjoined the team in 1993, afterfinishing her playing career. and since 2000 has anchored the fortnight�*s broadcast. she really has been the voice of wimbledon, the face of wimbledon. the decision brings to an end her career at the bbc, in which she also presented the olympic games and sports personality of the year. she says that she will, "miss it terribly, but after 30 years i feel the time is right for me. i've worked, with the best of the best." the current generation will know her as a brilliant broadcaster, the base of wimbledon. a lot of her remember
7:43 am
her brilliant playing days, reaching the semifinal in the jubilee year, the semifinal in the jubilee year, the silverjubilee. i know someone brilliant will take over but it will not feel like wimbledon. lots of reaction, including hack at the dog. sue barker, sue barker, you are better than a permanent marker. he compared her to a permanent marker. someone else who is a big fan... i do not know anyone who is not a big fan. you have spent many years at wimbledon, haven't you? it is one of those traditions. she is fantastic and she really will be sorely missed. one more to go will stop absolutely right. she missed. one more to go will stop absolutely right.— missed. one more to go will stop absolutely right. she will be sorely missed indeed. _ absolutely right. she will be sorely missed indeed. for— absolutely right. she will be sorely missed indeed. for me, _ absolutely right. she will be sorely missed indeed. for me, she is - missed indeed. for me, she is wimbledon. hopefully she will be more free for a spot of lunch then
7:44 am
she has been in the past. very nice weather today. we are on a mild start, 11 to 16 degrees more or less across—the—board. there is a fair bit of sunshine around. not all of us will hang onto that during the day. something else worth mentioning is the pollen level. high or very high across most of england and wales today. it is grass pollen with a bit of nettle pollen thrown in as well. let's have a look at the charts. low pressure is dominating the weather today. embedded in here are the remnants of tropical storm alex. if you look at the isobars and the wind arrows, it tells you it will be windy. it is windy around the outer hebrides. the wind picking up the outer hebrides. the wind picking up during the course of the day across scotland and northern ireland. generally speaking it will be a blustery day away from the north—west. showers turning heavy
7:45 am
across scotland and northern ireland and bantry with hail. a few showers, we could seize —— sam coming in. the showers will continue across scotland and northern ireland. still windy, especially in the north—west. further south, fewer showers with temperatures falling away to 11 and 13. as we go through the course of saturday, this low pressure area just further north—east. if you look at the isobars once again, they are still tightly packed across the north, so still windy. in the south, original high pressure building. it will be breezy rather than windy. for england and wales there will be dry weather with a few showers here and there. but northern ireland and scotland, they will hang on to the showers to bring longer spells of rain and the chance of blunder and
7:46 am
lightning. temperatures 11t rain and the chance of blunder and lightning. temperatures 1a to 22 degrees. as we head on into sunday, the low pressure drifts away towards the low pressure drifts away towards the norwegian sea. look at the isobars in the north! still windy, not as windy. on sunday there will be fewer showers as well across scotland and northern ireland and we are currently looking at. full england and wales we are again looking at a fair bit of sunshine with clad building up during the course of the day with one or two showers, just breezy, that is all. temperatures down a touch for us all. we are looking at highs of 13 to 21 degrees. if you like your weather will make it looks like from tuesday onwards, the temperature is going to go up. do tuesday onwards, the temperature is going to go lip-— going to go up. do you think your lunches with _ going to go up. do you think your lunches with sue _ going to go up. do you think your lunches with sue barker - going to go up. do you think your lunches with sue barker out - going to go up. do you think your lunches with sue barker out to i going to go up. do you think your i lunches with sue barker out to that lovely team at paddington and the queen had?—
7:47 am
that is a bold claim. i want to be invited. i do not think thatis i want to be invited. i do not think that is going to happen. i do think that is going to happen. i do think that moment between paddington and the queen was exquisite. what a surprise for the jubilee weekend. you may remember it! the queen having tea and marmalade sandwiches with paddington bear. to commemorate the special moment, an artist from east yorkshire created a painting of the unlikely pair — and now it's gone viral, even catching the eye of paddington actor hugh bonneville, as simon spark reports. if there was one part of the platinum jubilee that warmed the hearts of the nation and the world, it was probably this sketch with the queen and paddington bear before the party at the palace. perhaps you would like a marmalade sandwich. i always keep one for emergencies. so do i. i keep mine in here.
7:48 am
and for east yorkshire artist eleanor tomlinson, it gave her an idea that again, in turn, would warm the hearts of the nation and the world. after everything had finished, eleanor drew this sketch that seemed to so perfectly capture a round—up of the platinum jubilee and the love that people had for it. i just had just instantly, just think, oh, that kind of vision. oh, that would be lovely to post on sunday, just a roundup of everything that we'd all enjoyed over the last four days. obviously, corgis, what we all saw on saturday night, the queen in that stunning green coming on to the balcony, marmalade, sandwiches, bunting. just little touches like that, really, walking away. yeah, after the celebrations. so, yeah, it wasjust meant to be a social media post and itjust went a bit crazy from there.
7:49 am
what's in my inbox... it's been somewhere around 25,000 e—mails and that's everything from people asking if they can have one from people's just love for this, and just incredibly kind comments. to say i've been overwhelmed is an understatement. i am a one—woman business, so it's been roping in mum, dad and a few of the members of family and friends. before it went viral, eleanor actually sold this original to a loyal customer. so everyone else has had to settle for a print, including actor hugh bonneville, and who knows who else who's still waiting in the 25,000 emails she still has to get through. simon spark, bbc news. the person who has the original print would have just seen the
7:50 am
beauty of it anyway. it is a lovely feeling, isn't it? charming story and charming picture as well. over the last few months, we've been bringing you stories from the falklands war — 1t0 years on from the conflict which lasted 7a days and ended with an argentine surrender on the 11tjune 1982. now, a new documentary hears from ten men who fought alongside each other, as they share the impact it had on their lives. let's take a look. if you want to know what the falklands war was really like, you've got to get inside the heads of the men that fought it. the war is survived in the veterans' brain more than on film. and that's just the way it was. there's a kaleidoscope of images floating around your mind. why have you come? closure. that's basically it. i just...
7:51 am
i just want closure on the whole thing. i've not told my story to anybody. not even your family? not even my family or children. i put it in a box and i kept it there till now. we're joined now by retired corporal tom harley, and retired major philip neame. very good morning to both of you. good morning. very good morning to both of you. good morning-— very good morning to both of you. good morning. maybe you can set us off. you good morning. maybe you can set us off- you are — good morning. maybe you can set us off- you are in _ good morning. maybe you can set us off. you are in charge _ good morning. maybe you can set us off. you are in charge of _ good morning. maybe you can set us off. you are in charge of a _ off. you are in charge of a battalion. t off. you are in charge of a battalion-— off. you are in charge of a battalion. . ., ., ., battalion. i was in charge of a company- _ battalion. i was in charge of a company- i— battalion. i was in charge of a company- i am _ battalion. i was in charge of a company. i am sorry, - battalion. i was in charge of a company. i am sorry, this - battalion. i was in charge of a company. i am sorry, this is l battalion. i was in charge of a i company. i am sorry, this is the parachute _ company. i am sorry, this is the parachute regiment. _ company. i am sorry, this is the parachute regiment. it - company. i am sorry, this is the parachute regiment. it is - company. i am sorry, this is the parachute regiment. it is worth| parachute regiment. it is worth saying right at the beginning of it, there is quite a lot of the stadia around the falkland islands, you lost friends and comrades. there

8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the government condemns the death sentences handed to two british men and a moroccan, who were captured by russian forces while fighting for ukraine. we need help at the doors of the capitol! dramatic pictures of the storming of the us capitol by supporters of donald trump, are played at the start of an inquiry
8:01 am
into last year's riot. a legal challenge to stop the home office sending asylum seekers to rwanda takes place at the high court this morning. will airport and airline problems be solved by the summer holidays? after a half term of travel disruption, businesses are racing to recruit more staff. i'll take a look at what's being done. players pay the price for competing in the most lucrative series in golf�*s history. after the saudi arabia backed tournament begins in hertfordshire, all 17 rebel players are suspended by the pga tour. # neighbours...# after 37 years and nearly 9,000 episodes, residents of ramsey street past and present get together for the final time today as filming of neighbours comes to an end. i'm proud to have been part of that and it launched my career and i'm very excited to be part of the final episode.
8:02 am
it will be a blustery day, mostly dry with some sunshine, poor sunshine —— scotland and northern ireland, frequent showers developing and windy especially across the north west. it's friday the 10th ofjune. the foreign secretary liz truss will speak to her ukrainian counterpart today to discuss the case of two british men who have been sentenced to death after being captured by russian forces while fighting in ukraine. an unrecognised court in the rebel—held area of donetsk found aiden aslin and shaun pinner, along with a moroccan man, guilty of being mercenaries. frances read reports. britain has called it a sham judgment with no legitimacy. yet both of these men could face death by firing squad. didn't really have any choice other than to surrender. this is aiden aslin during the battle for mariupol. both he and shaun pinner were captured back in april. now they are part of russia's
8:03 am
propaganda war with moscow claiming they are foreign mercenaries. they may be killed quickly as shock value, but as everyone expects they are not, then they will be held as a diplomatic tool and i think the bigger picture here, what is happening is that the russians are going to become increasingly aggressive as part of the indirect conflict against the baltic republics, against the poles, against the uk and others, who are close to the ukrainian administration. it's true that foreign fighters signed up alongside ukrainians after the russian invasion, but that's not the case for aiden and shaun. they had made their lives in ukraine some years ago, serving in its armed forces for several years prior. a us army medic trained aiden aslin. he went to ukraine in 2017. he has a ukrainian fiance. they do have, or did have a home outside of mariupol. he was part of the 36th marine brigade. so, yeah, he did have a well established life in ukraine, ukrainian citizenship. kremlin—backed media showed the men
8:04 am
arriving for sentencing in donetsk yesterday, which is under the control of pro—russian rebels. the court is not internationally recognised and the uk foreign office says it is a breach of international law to prosecute them. a view supported by the ukrainian government. the main problem is that russia, they don't follow any rules of war. they don't follow anything. that's my main message. there is no international order for them, there is no international rules for them. the foreign secretary is expected to speak to the ukrainian foreign minister this morning, in an attempt to secure their release. russian state media suggests the men have a month to appeal against their death sentences. but condemned men or simply a bargaining tool, ultimately, that's something that could be decided by president putin himself. frances read, bbc news.
8:05 am
let's get more on this with our correspondent nick beake who's in kyiv. the donor territory —— donetsk territory is so crucial in terms of how it is now recognised internationally? tt how it is now recognised internationally? how it is now recognised internationall ? . ., , , internationally? it certainly is, charlie, and _ internationally? it certainly is, charlie, and the _ internationally? it certainly is, charlie, and the difficulty - internationally? it certainly is, charlie, and the difficulty is i internationally? it certainly is, i charlie, and the difficulty is that this court we are talking about is something which is not recognised by any country in the world apart from russia. so the vast majority of countries believe it is not capable of being free and fair and delivering justice in any way, shape orform. at the moment delivering justice in any way, shape or form. at the moment we are reliant on russian state media or kremlin supported media for what is happening here. we think the men have got 30 days to appeal against her sentence. we are also told that the head of the so—called people's republic of donetsk step in and reduced the sentence so that the men
8:06 am
are not executed by firing squad but instead of a 25 years in prison or life imprisonment. really if we are talking about how one man can affect this, it's a vladimir putin, he holds the key to this. some suggestion the men may be part of a prisoner swap but certainly here in ukraine, no details or suggestion that that might be happening any time soon. one thing the families may take as a glimmer of hope, russian state media report that other people have been sentenced to death in this court and so far, those sentences have not been carried out. those sentences have not been carried out-— those sentences have not been carried out. ., ,, , ., , . our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. of course there is the diplomatic side to this as well, we spoke to robertjenrick a little earlier, who is the mp for one of the constituency for one of those men? morning, naga. the government here has called this sham judgment, says
8:07 am
it has no legitimacy and both of these men should be protected under international law, because they were fighting legitimately for ukrainian forces. there has been some pressure from robertjenrick amongst others, for the government to summon the russian ambassador, and to make it clear how unhappy ministers in london art. there is some reluctance to get involved directly in russia and the foreign office. the basic reason is, they don't want this to be seen as a bilateral issue to be discussed between the uk and russia because there is a fear that that might help the russians with their argument. that these men were british mercenaries, rather than people who had settled in ukraine, and joined the armed forces when russia invaded earlier this year. there has been a lot of talk about a prisoner swap, though. and robert jenrick, the mp for aiden aslin's family's constituency, said this about that prospect.—

in washington last year when supporters of donald trump stormed congress as politicians met to certinyoe biden's election victory. the graphic images were shown in the first of several televised briefings by a democratic—led committee, after almost a year of investigations. our washington correspondent nomia iqbal reports. they�* re marching eastbound. it's one of the most documented events in modern history. they are trying to breach and get into the capitol. and new footage shows just how close america came to losing its democracy on january the 6th. this was a highly produced hearing made for prime time tv. in which the committee said it would reveal shocking details of what happened. and aware of the rioters' chants to hang mike pence, the president responded with this sentiment. quote, maybe our supporters have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it.
8:10 am
we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president, it was bleep. and for the first time, we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, i under penalty of perjury... then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by a pro—trump mob. usa, usa! i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans,

by security. it comes seven months after britney was freed from a legal arrangement, that she said prevented her from getting married. from last weekend's appearance on the buckingham palace balcony to selling the big issue on the streets of london. prince william's attempt at going undercover to help the homeless on wednesday didn't go unnoticed. some people realised it was a great chance to grab a snap of the future king which is how the story got out, as sarah campbell reports. prince william was in westminster, selling the big issue, which, for three decades, has helped homeless people off the streets. when this retired police officer explained he had no change, prince william whipped out the card machine. and there was help too for brian gilmore, who asked whether the william could put him in touch with the princes trust. and he did. i have to give it to him, i think he's a great prince, literally.
8:14 am
i'd have to say he's the people's prince. to be out here first hand on the streets, dealing with people, and me, i'm an ex offender, trying to help me, do you know what i mean? like, that's big, that's rare, and yeah, he's the people's prince as far as i'm concerned. you don't want any of my recipes! it's not the first time prince william has volunteered his time to help the homeless. he's been visiting this charity, the passage, for years, a connection forged with his mother diana who brought him and harry here as children, to show them, he said, life beyond the palace walls. the big issue hasn't commented, neither has kensington palace. both happy to let the pictures do the talking. sarah campbell, bbc news. it is 14 it is m minutes past eight, good morning to you. carol has a mix of weather. i like the picture behind you, that is a lovely picture, it makes me want to dive in and play with the dogs.

and scotland windy, particularly in the outer hebrides where we look at gas scale. the wind is a feature in the north—west through tonight. —— we are looking at gusts of gale force in the outer hebrides. it will not be a cold night and not cold tomorrow, for england and wales, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, lighter winds, lot of dry weather and sunshine, lighterwinds, but lot of dry weather and sunshine, lighter winds, but still strong winds across scotland and northern ireland and heavy showers to boot. thank you very much. after another week of cancellations and long queues at airports, the big question is will these problems be sorted by the summer holidays? katy austin's been looking into this one for us. that is a very big question? yes, and a lot of— that is a very big question? yes, and a lot of people _ that is a very big question? yes, and a lot of people want - that is a very big question? yes, and a lot of people want to - that is a very big question? 13:3 and a lot of people want to know, will their summer holidays go ahead as planned? the travel industry say as planned? the travel industry say a lot of industry work is going on behind the scenes to ensure things are better by the summer, problems are better by the summer, problems are ironed out.
8:17 am
welcome to our virtual airport, which isjust a little quieter than some others will be this morning. now, while most people have been able to travel without problems recently, thousands have not. i'm sure you'll have seen these sort of pictures. this was luggage piling up at manchester this week. and we're sometimes still seeing long queues like this at heathrow. now, 876 flights from the uk have been cancelled in the past two weeks. 549 flights to the uk didn't make if off the ground either. now, airlines say most of the cancellations they've made are made well in advance. that's not always the case though. zoe made it to tenerife for the first family holiday since the pandemic. but cancelled wizz air flights left them stranded abroad. they kept changing their minds, saying it had been cancelled. delayed, cancelled. it kept going round in circles like that. we have been stranded here. when we eventually booked the flight, four days later, with no communication help from wizz air, the hotel actually managed to scrape a vast room for us, which we are grateful for,
8:18 am
otherwise we would be absolutely stranded. we received an e—mail from wizz air direct, probably within about ten minutes from the cancellation over the phone, saying they tried to book us accommodation but had been unsuccessful because everywhere was fully booked. we are in quite a remote area of tenerife. so, yeah, it was a bit panicked, thinking what are we going to do? how are we going to get home? delays are acceptable but abandonment for four days with no communication from wizz air, i don't think is acceptable. wizz air has apologised to customers and, and pointed to a widespread and pointed to a widespread industry shortage of staff. it's not the only reason for cancellations, but it has been a big issue. lots of aviation jobs were lost during the pandemic, including 30,000 at uk airlines. with covid restrictions eased and passengers returning, the industry has struggled to recruit enough new staff quickly. this isn'tjust about cabin crew. we're talking about security staff, baggage handlers, workers

the uk, remember petrol prices are very high so that is going to feel quite painfulfor people very high so that is going to feel quite painful for people who are staying home to get away instead. indeed. thank you very much. 20 minutes past eight. increasing numbers of snakes, bearded dragons and other reptiles are being given to shelters or abandoned because of the rise in the cost of living. these pets need very specific conditions that include extra lights and heat lamps. as energy bills and the price of animalfood keep rising, some owners say they can no longer afford to keep their pets. frankie mccamley reports. they may look like survivors from the age of the dinosaur, but one in five reptiles are threatened with extinction. and for some, kept as pets, a new threat. the cost of living crisis. they need constant heat and special lighting, which is getting more expensive. now some reptile rescue centres are reporting a surge in these animals being handed in. we have seen more in the first three
8:22 am
months of this year than we saw the whole of last year. so that tells us something is changing. as part of the agricultural college here in tonbridge, the team are researching why these pets are given up. financial issues are probably the biggest driver we are seeing right at this moment in time. people worried about not being able to afford to heat and feed the animals. when owners do make the heartbreaking decision to give up a pet, the centre has to follow strict protocols. we will do an assessment of that animal, is he fit and healthy, take his photograph, weight, measurements and get a complete picture of the animal. so, then, once they have gone through that triage process, they will come into this quarantine room. this is where the animals will spend at least the next three weeks. and just looking around, it is mainly bearded dragons, isn't it? so, bearded dragons have been our biggest challenge this year. we are absolutely backed up to the gunwales with them. it's for the first time
8:23 am
we are now saying with bearded dragons, i'm really sorry, you are on a waiting list, i cannot take them in unless it is an emergency. as we are taking a look around, another call comes in, this time it's a corn snake that needs chris's help. after an hour on the road, he arrives at teresa's house. i'm not happy about it. but i have to make the firm choices. because financially, the light is on, and the finances on that, i can't maintain. your bills have already started going up? they've gone up, it's already happened, yeah. in wolverhampton, another rescue centre says it's struggling to keep up with the numbers coming in. we've seen an increase in our energy prices. we are having the surge in demand for us to take reptiles on. you know, we can only take on so many. we have got limited funding. my concern is, if we can't help them at the time, what is going to happen, where are they going to go? caught on cctv, the desperation of one man led him to abandon his pet snake outside a reptile shop.
8:24 am
others have been found in fields, in cardboard boxes, dumped. we are really worried and with the price, the cost of living rising, that we will perhaps see an increase in animals being abandoned. because their owners just can't meet the financial challenges of taking them on. and reptiles in particular, they can be quite expensive to keep. because they have got, they need a really carefully controlled environment. but there is hope at this centre back in kent. it's seeing lots of people who still wants to adopt. after checks are carried out, lizzie the bearded dragon is off to her new home. frankie mccamley, bbc news. such beautiful creatures. yes, beautiful in _ such beautiful creatures. yes, beautiful in their _ such beautiful creatures. yes, beautiful in their own - such beautiful creatures. yes, beautiful in their own way. i such beautiful creatures. yes, | beautiful in their own way. you don't need _ beautiful in their own way. you don't need to _ beautiful in their own way. you don't need to say _ beautiful in their own way. you don't need to say that, they are just beautiful. th don't need to say that, they are just beautiful.— don't need to say that, they are

because of the long wait for any justice. the public inquiry is due to finish later this summer — but next week marks the fifth anniversiary of the fire. the fact that we are here discussing issues around cladding still being on so many buildings, so little progress on the white paper and social housing and people that live in social housing, the complete lack of progress on phase one recommendations makes moving on really difficult and, you know, we have to continue advocating and fighting forjustice. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, it is all looking pretty good. now for the weather with elizabeth. hello. good morning. more sunshine in the forecast for us today across the capital and it will be feeling a little warmer. temperatures a couple of degrees or so higher than they were yesterday. but it will be quite

ramsay street have survived fires... watch out! ..car crashes, explosions, even a plane crash. have you red the book? what? read it. it could save your life. but with so much of its funding, having come from channel 5, it's their withdrawal and tv economics that have finally killed off the much—loved soap. we've run out of fuel. the show may soon be over, but the love story between neighbours and its viewers is sure to endure forever. lizo mzimba, bbc news. did you watch the wedding? do you know, i don't think i did. what is it? 23 million people in the uk

8:43 am
the pga tour "vindictive", and saying the ban "deepens the divide between the tour and its members". ian poulter says he will appeal the ban, others like sergio garcia says he won't be bothering and six—time major winner phil mickelson has said he'll be playing in this series for a few years at least. with just over a month to go before the world athletics championships, britain's dina asher—smith finished 3rd in the 200 metres in the diamond league meeting in rome. asher—smith, who'll defend her world title in the united states next month, was happy that she ran a season's best time of 22.27 seconds, but it wasn't enough to beat the olympic champion elaine thompson—heera, who came second, and her, fellow jamaican shericka jackson, who won the race. olympic silver medalist laura muir continued her comeback from a back injury with a third place in another high—quality field in the 1500 metres. now, some cricket news ahead of the second test, which starts at trent bridge today, the new zealand captain kane williamson will miss the match, after testing positive for covid. the rest of the touring party have all tested negative. as for england, they have named an unchanged team after winning the first test. spinnerjack leach keeps his place, despite suffering concussion

8:45 am
the gloucester sank 340 years ago while carrying the future king of england, james stuart, but the ships whereabouts were unknown until a team of divers unearthed it after a four—year search. our reporter, jo black, is at the site in great yarmouth this morning. morning to you. looking out to sea. is that where this vessel lies? yes. 30 miles out _ is that where this vessel lies? yes. 30 miles out to _ is that where this vessel lies? yes. 30 miles out to sea _ is that where this vessel lies? yes. 30 miles out to sea behind - is that where this vessel lies? 19:3 30 miles out to sea behind me is where this shipwreck lies. a beautiful morning here in great yarmouth. the people of this town and waking up to this news. the two brothers who discovered this vessel under the sea discovered it back in 2007, would you believe? they have had to keep a secret till now. they are printed by trade but obsessed by diving. —— printers by trade.
8:46 am
beneath the surface, 30 miles off the yarmouth coast, lies the gloucester — a 17th—century warship, which came to a tragic end. it sank 340 years ago after hitting a sandbank. on board was the future king of england, james stuart, duke of york. he survived, but others did not. it's estimated between 130 and 250 people died that morning in may. since 1682, the vessel remained half buried on the seabed and its exact location was unknown. now we know that it's been discovered, it's caused much excitement, with some saying that this is the most important maritime find since the mary rose. and these are the two brothers who located the royal ship — julian and lincoln barnwell are norfolk—based printers, but they're also professional divers. and after years of looking for second world war wrecks, they wanted a new challenge. would you believe there's 40,000 wrecks around the whole of the uk? so... and it's quite a lot. there's a lot off norfolk.
8:47 am
we've done lots of those — great, great adventures. but there was always, you know, what's next, what's next? a search of lincoln's encyclopedia of shipwrecks set them on the trail for the gloucester. its age and royal connections an obvious draw, as well as its warfare. so i picked the phone up that night, rang up my brotherjulian. i knew what he'd say and i said, "are you up for a new adventure, and go looking for the gloucester? sank in 1682. cannon everywhere potentially. " and he was just in there like a flash, and off we went. after a four—year search over 5,000 nautical miles, they finally found it. i could see dark shadow on the seabed. so, you know you're on some wreck, which is just really fantastic, obviously. and before you know it, anotherfive metres or so, i was kneeling on the seabed and surrounded byjust fantastically huge cannon and there was more than one. there was a group of them, and ijust knelt there, took the moment in for probably five minutes.
8:48 am
just, just, just unbelievable. just something i'll never forget. basically, i said to lincoln, don't pretend when you come to the surface that you found it, because i'll give you a rude sign. i knew he was serious when he came back to the surface because he popped up, and normally take all your kit off because it's really heavy. he was so pumped with adrenaline, he just climbed up our stainless steel ladders, hand extended and said, "we found her." i fell over, didn't i? you did. then he fell over. and they've recovered many fascinating artefacts. pipes still full of tobacco, spectacles with spare lenses, and bottles, some of them with wine still inside. and there is also the ship's bell. i think we have, we hope, a well—preserved time capsule of this luxurious royal voyage. we've just scratched the surface. the rescue archaeology to date has brought up a big range of diverse and very significant finds. many will want to see the gloucester raised, but whether that's possible
8:49 am
is still to be determined with much more historical, scientific and archaeological work to do. jo black, bbc news. welcome to talk about this a little bit more we are joined by lord dunnett, former head of the british army and norfolk resident, of course. thank you forjoining us. this is a fascinating story. you have described this as norfolk�*s answer to the mary rose. why are you saying that? it is answer to the mary rose. why are you sa in: that? , answer to the mary rose. why are you saying that?— saying that? it is the most significant _ saying that? it is the most significant discovery, - saying that? it is the most significant discovery, the l saying that? it is the most - significant discovery, the wreck of the gloucester. just imagine on the 6th of— the gloucester. just imagine on the 6th of may— the gloucester. just imagine on the 6th of may in 1682, the gloucester had not _ 6th of may in 1682, the gloucester had not sunk or even worse if king james _ had not sunk or even worse if king james as— had not sunk or even worse if king james as he — had not sunk or even worse if king james as he became had perished, then the _ james as he became had perished, then the course of british history would _ then the course of british history would have changed. having now discovered lincoln and union barnweil— discovered lincoln and union barnwell discovering where the wreck is, gives _
