6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a strategy to secure the future of the food on our plates is unveiled by the government later. but critics say it doesn't do enough to improve the health of people or the planet. personal items belonging to missing british journalist dom phillips and his brazilian colleague are discovered by police in a remote area of the amazon rainforest. he's done it! five years after being horrifically injured in the manchester arena bombing, martin hibbert conquers mount kilimanjaro.
6:01 am
don't write off somebody because they're in a wheelchair. look at what they can do when they've got the right help and support — they can climb mount kilimanjaro. good morning from this factory in rochdale, where they cut doors into shape. what shape is the uk economy in? we get the latest figures this morning. england's greatest ever — anotherjoe root century — his fastest ever — has his team mates purring over his performance. good morning. many of us starting off with a fair bit of cloud this morning. some sunshine. the cloud will build through the day. patchy rain at the far north. this week it is getting warmer, especially across england and wales. details coming up. good morning. it's monday, june the 13th. more home—grown produce and more support forfarmers — they'll be the central promises within the government's food strategy for england, which is released later today. the plan should improve food
6:02 am
security, but well publicised recommendations to reduce consumption of salt, sugar and junk food, are not expected to be included. our environment correspondent, claire marshall, has more. from the fields to our forks — more than three years in the making, this is the government's plan for how our entire food system should look. at its heart are the farmers. growing our own will boost food security, the government says, and create jobs. among the plans, a framework for farming the land sustainably, including taking care of nature. a consultation on whether the public sector — hospitals, schools and care homes — should spend more of their budgets on locally grown, or higher standard food. there will be a review of the labour shortage, including using more machines, and issuing more visas for migrants. no mention of reducing meat consumption, but there will be money for research into meat alternatives.
6:03 am
this comes after a wide—ranging review by restaurateur henry dimbleby. he told the bbc less than half of his recommendations have been adopted, but it wasn't a disaster. there was progress on how the environment could be helped, he said, and a recognition of the damage being done by the junk food cycle. but there was nothing on trade. imported food could still be reduced to lower standards. after withering criticism of an earlier leaked draft, the national farmers' union welcome the plans. i think it's really welcome to see government committing to food production and food security. there's a strong commitment in there to maintain our current levels of self—sufficiency, and to produce more, effectively, of we are good at, more of our fruit and vegetables which have been in decline. so, you know, that's a laudable ambition. there's strong commitments on government procurement. more british, more local into our schools and hospitals, and that's very, very welcome indeed for farmers. but i think all of this will depend on the policies that are put in place to deliver it.
6:04 am
so, it's the start of a journey. many campaigners are asking though, what happened to the proposed sugar and salt tax and healthier school meals? according to the government, these will be addressed in another white paper at a later date. claire marshall, bbc news. we are going to talk a lot about that on the programme this morning, by the impact on farmers and consumers. brazilian police say they have found personal items belonging to the british journalist dom phillips, who has been missing in a notoriously dangerous part of the amazon rainforest for more than a week. the items include mr phillips' boots and a backpack with clothes in. he went missing with another man, bruno pereira. our south america correspondent katy watson sent this report. it was along this stretch of water that dom phillips and bruno pereira disappeared. the vastness of the amazon plain to see. the armed
6:05 am
forces are out of searching. so too, the indigenous communities, many of whom knew bruno personally. heap helped train indigenous groups to defend themselves against the increasing threat of a legal fisherman and poachers. dom phillips was writing a book, which is why the two men were right travelling together. bruno introducing dom to people in you. the indigenous community has set up camp near where they disappeared. we were asked not to identify anyone because they feared reprisals. translation: , ., ., . feared reprisals. translation: , ., ,, translation: fisherman, financed by the narco is. — translation: fisherman, financed by the narco is, will _ translation: fisherman, financed by the narco is, will do _ translation: fisherman, financed by the narco is, will do what _ translation: fisherman, financed by the narco is, will do what they - the narco is, will do what they probably did to bruno, end their life because they see us as an obstacle. , , obstacle. our river guide is felipe. he and his — obstacle. our river guide is felipe. he and his father— obstacle. our river guide is felipe. he and his father run _ obstacle. our river guide is felipe. he and his father run a _ obstacle. our river guide is felipe. he and his father run a fisherman. he and his father run a fisherman tourism business and the two men were staying in a small hotel. don was really interested in an environment i was passionate about the amazon, and told us what he was writing, philippe b tells me. he interviewed us and asked us about
6:06 am
their work. interviewed us and asked us about theirwork. up interviewed us and asked us about their work. up we come across a search team focused on a small area. the indigenous teams alongside, they know the terrain better than anyone. there is a police boat in the distance. beyond that there is another one further into the jungle. we have been told we can't go any further, but it is clearly something there but looking at. they have been here for several hours. shortly after, it is sealed off. we were told later this is where the men's belongings were found. the search teams continue. but these new developments point to a devastating conclusion. and hopes faded of finding the two men alive. katy watson, bbc news. and we will be talking to dom's sister later this morning on the programme. a group of us senators — from both sides of the political divide — has reached an agreement on potentially tightening gun laws, following a spate of mass shootings and a weekend of protests. president biden has welcomed the move, but the country's biggest gun lobby group, the national rifle association, said it will oppose any effort
6:07 am
to deprive americans of their rights to own firearms. vincent mcaviney reports. across america this weekend, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets calling for stricter gun laws. following the murder of ten african—americans in buffalo by a teenage white supremacist, then 19 children and two teachers in an uvalde school, the message was simple. enough is enough. what do we want? gun control. - when do we want it? now _ with mid—term elections looming in autumn, democratic and republican politicians in washington have responded, agreeing on the first cross—party gun controls in decades. the measures would include tougher background checks for buyers under 21, red flag laws to stop at risk individuals buying, and cracking down on illegal gun purchases. crucially, the proposals are supported by ten republicans, meaning they have the numbers to
6:08 am
overcome being blocked in the senate by opposition in their own party. president biden has declared the plans steps in the right direction, and wants them passed quickly, but they fall short of the ban on assault weapons he had hoped for. gabby gifford is a former congresswoman who herself survived being shot in the head. she tweeted the proposals would save lives, saying... but not everyone is convinced of that. bonnie phillips has spent the past decade campaigning after his daughterjessie was killed in the aurora cinema shooting. the daughterjessie was killed in the aurora cinema shooting. the fact it has taken 30 _ aurora cinema shooting. the fact it has taken 30 years _ aurora cinema shooting. the fact it has taken 30 years to _ aurora cinema shooting. the fact it has taken 30 years to get - aurora cinema shooting. the fact it has taken 30 years to get anything | has taken 30 years to get anything even being talked about. understand, these are just discussions. this is not going to be what comes out of these discussions. so, i would not going to be what comes out of these discussions. so, iwould be very surprised if anything of any

6:17 am
thing you will notice, if you have an allergy to pollen, in england and wales once against today, for most of the levels are high or very high. this evening and overnight we are into a lot of cloud in scotland and into a lot of cloud in scotland and in northern ireland more rain coming in. lingering cloud in the far south—east. in between, some clear skies. this cloud will take a wee bit of time to break up tomorrow but it will. for england and wales it is going to be another sunny, warm day. for scotland and northern ireland, more cloud, spots of rain in the north and west. these are the temperatures. 13 in lerwick to 25 in london. we look forward to that. ., ,, london. we look forward to that. . ~ , ., we look forward to that. thank you. summer is — we look forward to that. thank you. summer is easier. _ we look forward to that. thank you. summer is easier. for— we look forward to that. thank you. summer is easier. for a _ we look forward to that. thank you. summer is easier. for a bit. -- - summer is easier. fora bit. —— summaries here. we'll get an update on the state of the uk economy shortly. but many families won't need an official statistic to know they're already feeling the pinch. young mothers are particularly vulnerable to rising prices and falling wages. that's according to the young women's trust, which has found that around a third of them are going hungry
6:18 am
so their children can eat. ashley john—ba ptiste has the details. which of these toys have you received from facebook groups? that one, and that one. have you ever thought about selling some of these toys so that you can afford food? yeah. 25—year—old gindi from northamptonshire is a care worker and single mum to her daughter hattie. the rising cost of living, and increase in food prices, mean she has to find other ways of putting food on the table. i've gone without eating. like i say, she comes first. she eats. she's priority. i'm not priority. as long as she eats, i ain't bothered. and i'll have, like, a packet of crisps, if that. in a day? yeah. jyndie's not alone. we've heard from scores of young mums with similar experiences. findings from a poll by the young women's trust, shown exclusively to the bbc, suggest that almost a third of young
6:19 am
mums in england sometimes going hungry to feed their children. and for single mums, this rises to just over half. young women and young mums are really struggling, and it comes from firstly, the fact that they are doing more unpaid work than young men, more cooking, cleaning, more looking after siblings and children, because of the cost of childcare. they're therefore less likely to be working full time, more likely to be in unpaid work, and really struggling to get fair pay and get promoted. so they're much closer to the kind of financial cliff edge right now, when times are really tough. single mum charlotte faces the difficult choice between heating and eating. to be honest, when it gets really cold, i think i willjust crack and i will have to put the heating on, because, for instance, like we'd get out the bath and i could see elsie's breath. and it really made me upset to think that she was that cold. the government has announced an energy bill discount of £400 for all households this autumn, while low income households will
6:20 am
receive an added payments of £650. but for charlotte, the struggle with debt remains. it'll be enough to get out, but not stay out, probably not, no. i know that that debt will get larger. we asked to speak to the government, and they told us that they are committed to supporting working parents with cost of living support measures amounting to £37 billion. but with energy bills expected to rise again in the autumn, forjyndi and charlotte, an end to their struggles feels like a distant prospect. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian has a picture of supporters of the missing britishjournalist dom phillips and indigenous expert bruno pereira who both disappeared whilst on a reporting trip in the javari valley, a remote part of the amazon. the paper says family members have given up hope of finding the missing men.
6:21 am
the times says universities will be forced to reveal foreign investment under government plans this week to crack down on undue influence. the paper says the proposed amendment to the higher education bill is against a backdrop of universities accepting money from "hostile" countries like china and russia. according to the sun, the duke of york has been banned from appearing in public at the order of garter ceremony after the prince of wales lobbied the queen. it says prince andrew had hoped the ceremony in windsor would be a "springboard back to public life", but prince charles and his son the duke of cambridge raised fears of a backlash and andrew will only be allowed at private aspects of the event. here's a bit of monday motivation for you. and it's an update on martin hibbert�*s attempt to conquer mount kilimanjaro. it is something we have been covering for a while. we have followed him _ covering for a while. we have followed him so _ covering for a while. we have followed him so closely. - five years after being paralysed in the manchester arena bomb, martin has been trying to reach the summit of africa's
6:22 am
highest mountain in his specialised wheelechair, aided by a team of local guides and porters. it was a gruelling physical challenge, of course. but it was also much more than that. it was a journey of defiance, courage, friendship and love. graham satchell has the story. martin! the top of mount kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa, and martin hibbert is on the final approach. only 65% of climbers make it this far. martin has done it in a wheelchair. i could just see the sign at the top. i didn't know whether to laugh, cry... it was just, yeah, it was just such
6:23 am
a relief to get there, and know that we'd done it. something i'll always remember. just so proud. cheering. it is an extraordinary achievement for a man who was nearly killed in the manchester arena attack five years ago. the journey up the mountain starts in dense rainforest. martin's team have hired a group of expert guides and porters, who will help him navigate the challenges of the next five days. it's a big step. and around mountain are some key people — medical staff, members of the charity, the spinal injuries association, and best friends like steve, who has been at martin's side for every step of the last five years. steady, steady.
6:24 am
when salman abedi detonated his suicide bomb at the manchester arena, it killed 22 people and left hundreds injured. martin and his daughter eve were less than 20 metres away from the explosion. the attack left martin paralysed from the waist down. he was hit with 22 pieces of shrapnel. 0ne severed his spinal cord. martin has always been determined to turn an evil act of terror into a force for good. that's why i'm doing this, to show that, you know, don't write off somebody because in their wheelchair. look at what they can do when they've got the right help and support. they can climb mount kilimanjaro, you know. so there's a bigger narrative to it. feeling it on my arms now. but we'll get there, we'll get there. disabled people can literally do anything they want to do. so hopefully, people see that and embrace disability and not turn their back on it. so there's a long way to go, but hopefully doing this
6:25 am
has highlighted, just how important, you know, help and support is. the weather changes, conditions are tough. and there's worse news. do i need any ibruprofen? martin's best friend steve is struggling. he has altitude sickness, headaches, shortness of breath, nausea. he's advised to head back down the mountain. ascent day, and martin sets off in the dark. he is attempting to get to the top with the expert guides who have supported him all the way up. the hope is the rest of the team will reach the top at the same time as martin. as he battles the mountain, martin is thinking about his family — his daughter eve, his wife gabby, and his mumjanice, who died in november last year. he has brought some of her ashes to spread at the top.
6:26 am
the final part of the ascent is the most difficult. martin is lifted over huge boulders. but finally, he makes it to gilman's point, one of the three official summits at the top of kilimanjaro. cheering. we've done it. we're at the top of kilimanjaro. sadly, my mum passed away in november, and i know she was immensely proud. i said she was going to be with me, and she has. so ijust said when i got to the top of kilimanjaro, i'd spread some ashes play our favorite tunes. so i'm going to do that now. so it's carpenters, for all we know. this is for you, mum. music plays. love you, mum. singing.
6:27 am
the team meet up for a final farewell. it is a joyous celebration, a thank you and a goodbye. i said we'd all come back as different people, and i certainly will do. just the love and like, that then, just... yeah. i'll definitely be a different person now going home. and i think everyone else will be as well. he did it. did he do it? what an amazing story. his mum would have been so proud. that report was produced and filmed by bbc brea kfast�*s kate va rley and ann gannon, who also made it to the summit with martin. we have more of that film later.
6:28 am
all the way. what an incredible story. what an inspiration. messages coming in this morning already. as you heard, martin is aiming to raise a million pounds for the spinal injuries association. he is about half there at the moment. we have a feeling that might go moment. we have a feeling that might 9° up moment. we have a feeling that might go up by a few quid today.— at around 7:15, we'll be speaking to the chief executive of the spinal injuries association, nik hartley. much more about martin. that incredible achievement. he much more about martin. that incredible achievement. he was so determined- _ incredible achievement. he was so determined. he _ incredible achievement. he was so determined. he was _ incredible achievement. he was so determined. he was never- incredible achievement. he was so determined. he was never going i incredible achievement. he was so | determined. he was never going to take no for an answer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye.

to tell it for ourselves. a stjohn's ambulance survey has found only only 15% of people feel very confident using a defibrillator. the equipment increases the chances of survival from a cardiac arrest by up to 70% — it's available in most supermarkets, stadiums and tube stations. there's a push for more londoners to learn how to use them — a year since danish footballer christian eriksen collapsed during euro 2020. let's take a look at the tfl board now. the bakerloo and circle lines are part suspended, and the district line has severe delays. weather next. and the first heatwave of the summer is set to arrive in london this week, with temperatures predicted to reach more than 30 degrees. it's bad news though for hayfever sufferers with pollen levels set to be very high, according to the met office. let's get the forecast now with kate kinsella. good morning. high pressure is in charge. over the next few days,
6:31 am
the temperature is set to rise. for this morning, we have a bright and sunny start after a clear night. gradually, the cloud is going to increase today. we'll still see some bright and sunny spells. the wind is light. temperatures reaching 21 celsius. into this evening, you mightjust get a little bit of evening sunshine. 0vernight, the cloud will gradually start to thin and break up, especially in the west. so clearer spells developing. the wind stays light, minimum temperature between 8 and 11 celsius. for tuesday, you can see high pressure is still in charge. not quite so much cloud around tomorrow. the temperature is set to get a little bit warmer. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up. but that sunshine is strong and we're looking at a maximum temperature later in the afternoon of 25 celsius. the temperature, it is set to climb over the next few days. from wednesday onwards, you can see this warmer air edging up from the south. temperatures rising steadily. for thursday, we're looking at 27 celsius. the peak in the temperature comes on friday. high 20s, potentially low 30s, getting cooler again for the weekend.
6:32 am
i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though, it's back tojohn and sally. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. thank you forjoining us this monday morning. coming up on this morning's programme... we'll take a look at new plans to make the houses of parliament a menopause—friendly workplace — with the help of campaigners mariella frostrup and dr nighat arif. acting royalty simon callow and bonnie langford will be on the sofa to talk about their roles in the nautical—but—nice musical, anything goes. i like that a lot! retired. what the dickens would i do? i would only take on another scheme.

that's for sure, i would. there's always somebody who needs something. and we'll meet the real life "supergran" — 93—year—old dena murphy, who has helped hundreds of young offenders put their lives back on track by getting them busy in her community allotment. we're due another update on how the economy is doing this morning — the latest gdp figures are out at 7 o'clock. in the next hour. we will get an insight into the economy. ben's at a factory in rochdale to tell us more. what are we looking at there? yes, good morning. i'm at a door factory. they make 3000 of these doors a week. let me show you how they make them. this machine picks up blank panels and carries them through where it starts cutting into them.
6:34 am
cutting the doors into shape. later this morning we will find out what shape the uk economy is in when we get the latest gdp figures. what we are looking for is gross. it will tell us how well or how badly the economy is doing. if we see growth that means there is more money, generally morejobs and that means there is more money, generally more jobs and investment. the economy has been performing below expectations. it shrank in march has cost of living pressures meant people were going out spending less. that is something angela has noticed in her shop. we are seeing as many customers coming through the door but people are spending less in the shop. door but people are spending less in the sho -. , door but people are spending less in the sho. , . door but people are spending less in thesho. ,~ , the shop. they are considering their urchases the shop. they are considering their purchases more. _ the shop. they are considering their purchases more. at _ the shop. they are considering their purchases more. at the _ the shop. they are considering their purchases more. at the wholesalers we have _ purchases more. at the wholesalers we have seen a 50% increase in the

6:38 am
a tough winterforjoe ok for english cricket. it has been a tough winter forjoe root calling time on his captaincy. 0llie pope, unbeaten alongside him, as england resume 80 runs behind new zealand on day four at trent bridge. here'sjoe wilson. one man to sign, one name to get on your bat. you came to trent bridge and you stopped joe root. it's more than new zealand have managed so far. sunday's feast of runs began with alex lees, 67 from him, his highest england score. and in a match of dropped catches, consider this one. it was tough, but it wasjoe root. 0llie pope was guiding his way to 100. england are backing his talent, giving him responsibility. and this is how you show that you're worth it. soon, pope was playing his full range of shots, making his highest test score. that a six? sure is. joe root was in full flow. there are no safer hands in cricket. well, not many.
6:39 am
he got to 100 with a kind of trick shot. even his mishits work. ten years into his england career, this may be the golden era ofjoe root, playing with freedom. a couple of wickets brought ben stokes to the crease, and he took freedom to another level — into the stands. england were still far from new zealand's score. ben stokes saw the summit and fell. 46 off 33 balls. it was certainly brave. butjoe root reached his 150 with the kind of elegance that made his captain acknowledge. yeah, that is the very best of batting. joe wilson, bbc news. one of the very best in rugby union — tributes are being paid to the former british and irish lions captain and welsh fly—half phil bennett who's died at the age of 73. he helped wales win two five nations grand slams, and also starred in the lions' historic unbeaten tour of south africa in 197a. but after he retired he said his proudest moment came in a llanelli shirt, beating the all blacks. regarded as one of the game's all
6:40 am
time greats — phil bennett, who's died at the age of 73. northern ireland manager ian baraclough insists he won't be leaving his role despite their poor run. his side needed this late goal from jonny evans to salvage a 2—2 draw with cyprus in the nations league. boos were heard from sections of the crowd, with fans unhappy that northern ireland have now gone 1a games without a win in the competition. b00. so... listen. people can boo all they like. i'm not going unless unless i'm told. and that's, you know, that's something for somebody else to make that decision. but i'm proud of what the players have produced today and over the four games. players that didn't know each other when coming together. contrasting fortunes, as world champion max verstappen extended his lead in the drivers championship but lewis hamilton said
6:41 am
he might not be able to drive in the next race because of a painful back brought on by his bouncing car. in azerbaijan, ferrari's charles leclerc starting on pole, but for the second time in three races retired with engine trouble. that left verstappen free to take the win ahead of teammate sergio perez and britain's george russell, who finished third. hamilton emerged clutching his back afterfinishing fourth because of issues with his car. mercedes said they would consider using a substitute driver in candad if hamilton didn't feel fit enough race. more injury concerns for andy murray despite reaching his first grasscourt final in six years. he received extensive treatment on his side during his defeat in the final of the stutgart 0pen yesterday, which he lost
6:42 am
to matteo berettini. he's meant to play in queens's tomorrow and then wimbledon in a ocuple of weeks time. a scan today will determine how serious the issue is. dan evans' wimbledon preparations are going really well though. the british number two won the nottingham open title for the second time, with a commanding straight sets win over australian jordan thompson. evans didn't drop a set through the entire tournament, but there wasn't much time to celebrate the win. he drove straight down to queens club after the match ahead of his match tomorrow. swedish golfer linn grant has made history by becoming the first woman to win on golf�*s dp world tour. the scandianavian mixed event is in its second year and combines players from the men's and ladies' european tours. she won by nine shots. she only turned professional last year. she was the only woman to finish in the top ten. a brilliant performance. when you think about the money that is being spent on the tour enticing the very best, if you want to make little more inclusive, perhaps funnel the money into mixed events. it was refreshing to watch
6:43 am
that in contrast. see you later. with a shortage of doctors and gp appointments in the uk becoming increasingly difficult to book, there's evidence that one provider of nhs gp services could be risking the health of patients. an investigation by the bbc�*s panorama programme suggests 0perose health is using less qualified, cheaper staff, without adequate supervision — leading some to claim it's putting profit before patient care. jacqui wakefield reports. hi. i'm starting today as a receptionist. i worked undercover at this busy london surgery for almost six weeks. we're not naming the practice or anyone who works there. you've been waiting for six months. honestly, if i could help, i would. it's owned by 0perose health, the uk's biggest gp chain with 70 surgeries and almost 600,000 patients. while i was working at the practice,
6:44 am
there weren't enough gps to meet demand. i'm really sorry, sir. we've already booked out this morning. it's been a really crazy morning. i'm so sorry. are you able to call tomorrow, or call 111? yeah, i understand. it's frustrating. i'm looking at my screen now, and there's nothing i can do. there's no more appointments. i'm sorry. since the start of the nhs, most gp practices have been owned and managed by doctors, known as partners. in 2007, the then labour government changed the rules, allowing bigger businesses like 0perose to buy into general practice. at the practice where i worked, patients were also seen by other, less qualified clinical staff, called physician associates or pas. they're being increasingly employed in general practice to help relieve the pressure, but should be supervised by doctors. the pas here told me they aren't getting enough support. sometimes i hardly ever see the gp.
6:45 am
so on a normal day, how much would you know...? i hardly ever... i hardly speak to them. we showed our undercover footage to professor sir sam everington, a practising senior gp partner. the thing i worry about here is the physicians that are associates are saying they're not getting enough supervision, so they know they need more. they're clearly articulating it, but they're not getting it. and that's a problem. and that must be massively stressful for them. but, inevitably, that cannot be a safe system. 0perose says a clinical lead is available to help answer pas' questions. nhs data shows that 0perose practices employ six times as many physician associates as the nhs average. i asked management staff at this surgery why they use them.
6:46 am
why have pas and notjust more gps? it's cheaper. when i hear words like cheap, i'm not quite sure _ that they're utterly focused - on giving the best possible care in the circumstances to patients. they're putting profits, money, ahead of quality of care. - that is a massive risk to patients. 0perose health denies that profit is being prioritised ahead of patient care. it says 97% of its practices are rated good or outstanding by the care quality commission. and it works in the best interests of patients, providing access to the highest quality of care. jacqui wakefield, bbc news. and you can watch more on that investigation on panorama
6:47 am
tonight at 8pm on bbc one. it will also be on the bbc iplayer afterwards. let's return to our top story now — the release of the government's food strategy for england. ministers are promising to back farmers but earlier promises to curb sugar, salt and junk food are not part of the plan. let's get some reaction from the shadow environment secretary, jim mcmahon. he's in 0ldham. you've said already this is not necessarily a food strategy. what with the the strategy be? it is important _ with the the strategy be? it is important to _ with the the strategy be? it is important to repeat _ with the the strategy be? it 3 important to repeat this is not a strategy or a plan. it has been criticised by all those who have seen their meat content. labour is really clear that no more than any

6:52 am
sunny intervals and it will brighten later. top temperatures up to 21 degrees. a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday when it was 23, the high, at heathrow. something you will notice today which is high is the pollen level across england and also wales, high or very high. we are talking especially grass pollen at the moment. this evening and overnight we hang on to a fair bit of plaid across scotland and northern ireland. the cloud will stick across the far south—east. in between there could be clear skies and not particularly a cold night. tomorrow we have the cloud in the south—east to clear. also cloud across scotland and northern ireland which will be producing some showers. in between there will be sunshine and temperatures 13 in lerwick, 20 in hull but up to 25 in the london area. as we head on into wednesday, a lot of cloud across
6:53 am
england, wales and scotland. you can see in the west cloud and splashes of rain. 13 in stornoway and 18 in belfast were creeping up to 27 as we slip down towards the south—east. thursday and into friday, england and wales will see the highest values could potentially up to about 30 somewhere in the south—east. wow! it is quite varied, isn't it? it is. not necessarily will it stay at that level. if you like it that hot, you are going to be disappointed. and mood. thank you very much indeed. you are welcome. residents of the yorkshire town of whitby will head to the polls today. but this is no ordinary election. it's a referendum on what many believe is their most pressing political issue — second—home ownership. the non—binding poll will ask voters if they want new—build
6:54 am
properties to be reserved for locals — many of whom say they can no longer afford to buy in their hometown. richard moss went to whitby to find out more. wonderful whitby. picturesque, popular but pricey. house values here are high and rising. estate agents are selling properties as fast as they go on the market. this one's gone back on today. but not generally to locals. i would say mainly second homes/ investors with holiday cottages. that makes up 75%, i would have thought so. so a lot of the time people find that they are sort of out priced or they find that they are in a position where they're competing with people sort of coming into whitby, really. and that's led to big changes in the town. sandra has lived here since she was a child,
6:55 am
but she says action's now needed to ensure she isn't one of the last locals left. the residents want to send a very loud message - that enough is enough. it's not that we're against tourism. we're not. but we don't want to give up our town either. - we need to live here. we need to be able to work here. families want their families to be able to stay here - and not move away. and that's what's happening. people are having to move out i of the town to enable themselves to live and own a home. of course, one solution might be to build more homes, but that doesn't seem to be working. we're giving planning permission for new developments on the basis that that's going to provide housing stock for the housing needs of local people. but that's not happening. that's being taken away. so, for example, a new development just recently built, i think 20 out of the new properties built — 19 of those went to holiday lets, which again isjust... it's crazy. i mean, we need to stop that so local people are going to have a chance of getting on that ladder. whitby is holding a referendum. the town council will be asking the locals to vote for a ban on the sale of any new property to anyone who wants it for a second home or holiday let. but there is one hitch.
6:56 am
the poll itself can't change anything because the town council doesn't actually have the powers to ban anyone here buying a second home. but even if the poll is technically toothless, backers of a ban hope it will add to pressure for planning changes that could bite. otherwise, they fear a town famously associated with dracula could be drained of local life. really interested to know what you think about with that story. it is not just it is notjust whitby. we had talked about the lake district and devon and cornwall before. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. thirty sweet shops are being investigated by westminster city council, for business rates evasion amounting to nearly £8 million. the council says it has
6:57 am
seized £100,000 worth of counterfeit and illegal goods from the shops selling american candy and souvenirs. it says the stores are a threat to the status of oxford street. tomorrow marks five years since the grenfell tower tragedy. a photographer who lost her sister and niece in the fire, has created a photo series telling the stories of the bereaved and survivors. feruza afewerki's gold & ashes portraits aim to highlight the humanity and courage of the grenfell community. there were a lot of stories in the media about the type of people that have lived in grenfell as being benefit scroungers or illegal immigrants. a lot of mistruths were told. you don't want them to be remembered in a way that's not true. you're already grieving a loss of so many lives. it's changed us so much and so it was important for us to tell it for ourselves.
6:58 am
a stjohn's ambulance survey has found only only 15% of people feel very confident using a debibrilator. the equipment increases the chances of survival from a cardiac arrest by up to 70%. it's available in most supermarkets, stadiums and tube stations. there's a push for more londoners to learn how to use them, a year since danish footballer christian eriksen collapsed during euro 2020. let's take a look at the tfl board now. a few issues. the bakerloo line is part suspended, and circle and district lines have severe delays. weather next. and the first heatwave of the summer is set to arrive in london this week, with temperatures predicted to reach more than 30 degrees. it's bad news though for hay fever sufferers, with pollen levels set to be very high, according to the met office. let's get the forecast now with kate kinsella. good morning. high pressure is in charge. over the next few days, the temperature is set to rise. for this morning, we have a bright and sunny start after a clear night. gradually, the cloud is going to increase today. we'll still see some bright and sunny spells. the wind is light. temperatures reaching 21 celsius. into this evening, you mightjust
6:59 am
get a little bit of evening sunshine. 0vernight, the cloud will gradually start to thin and break up, especially in the west. so clearer spells developing. the wind stays light, minimum temperature between 8 and 11 celsius. for tuesday, you can see high pressure is still in charge. not quite so much cloud around tomorrow. the temperature is set to get a little bit warmer. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up. but that sunshine is strong and we're looking at a maximum temperature later in the afternoon of 25 celsius. the temperature, it is set to climb over the next few days. from wednesday onwards, you can see this warmer air edging up from the south. temperatures rising steadily. for thursday, we're looking at 27 celsius. the peak in the temperature comes on friday. high 20s, potentially low 30s, getting cooler again for the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though, it's back tojohn and sally. bye for now.

good morning. it's monday, june the 13th. more home—grown produce and more support forfarmers — they'll be the central promises within the government's food strategy for england, which is released later today. the plan should improve food security, but well publicised recommendations to reduce consumption of salt, sugar and junk food are not expected to be included. 0ur environment correspondent, claire marshall, has more. from the fields to our forks — more than three years in the making, this is the government's plan for how our entire food system should look. at its heart are the farmers. growing our own will boost food security, the government says, and create jobs. among the plans, a framework for farming the land sustainably, including taking care of nature. a consultation on whether the public sector — hospitals, schools and care homes — should spend more of their budgets on locally grown, or higher standard food. there will be a review of the labour shortage, including using more machines,
7:03 am
and issuing more visas for migrants. no mention of reducing meat consumption, but there will be money for research into meat alternatives. this comes after a wide—ranging review by restaurateur henry dimbleby. he told the bbc less than half of his recommendations have been adopted, but it wasn't a disaster. there was progress on how the environment could be helped, he said, and a recognition of the damage being done by the junk food cycle. but there was nothing on trade. imported food could still be reduced to lower standards. after withering criticism of an earlier leaked draft, the national farmers' union now welcomes the plans. i think it's really welcome to see government committing to food production and food security. there's a strong commitment in there to maintain our current levels of self—sufficiency, and to produce more, effectively, of we are good at, more of our fruit and vegetables which have been in decline. so, you know, that's a laudable ambition. there's strong commitments
7:04 am
on government procurement — more british, more local into our schools and hospitals — and that's very, very welcome indeed for farmers. but i think all of this will depend on the policies that are put in place to deliver it. so, it's the start of a journey. many campaigners are asking though, what happened to the proposed sugar and salt tax and healthier school meals? according to the government, these will be addressed in another white paper at a later date. we promised to bring you the latest gdp figures. the uk economy shrank by 0.3% in april, compared to the same time last year. that's the gdp figure — or gross domestic product — which has been released in the last couple of minutes. ben's can tell us more. he's at a factory in rochdale. looking at life there but also looking at these numbers. this seems to be significant? it

7:33 am
good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. 30 sweet shops are being investigated by westminster city council for business rates evasion amounting to nearly £8 million. the council says it has seized £100,000 worth of counterfeit and illegal goods from the shops selling american candy and souvenirs. it says the stores are "a threat to the status" of oxford street. tomorrow marks five years since the grenfell tower tragedy. a photographer who lost her sister and niece in the fire has created a photo series telling the stories of the bereaved and survivors. feruza afewerki's gold & ashes portraits aim to hilight the humanity and courage of the grenfell community. there were a lot of stories in the media about the type of people that have lived in grenfell as being benefit scroungers or illegal immigrants. a lot of mistruths were told.
7:34 am
you don't want them to be remembered in a way that's not true. you're already grieving a loss of so many lives. it's changed us so much and so it was important for us to tell it for ourselves. a stjohn's ambulance survey has found only only 15% of people feel very confident using a defibrillator. the equipment increases the chances of survival from a cardiac arrest by up to 70% — it's available in most supermarkets, stadiums and tube stations. there's a push for more londoners to learn how to use them — a year since danish footballer christian eriksen collapsed during euro 2020. let's take a look at the tfl board now. a few issues. the bakerloo line is part—suspended. the circle line has severe delays and the district line have minor delays. weather next. and the first heatwave of the summer is set to arrive in london this week, with temperatures predicted to reach more than 30 degrees. it's bad news though for hayfever sufferers with pollen levels set to be very high, according to the met office.
7:35 am
let's get the forecast now with kate kinsella. good morning. high pressure is in charge. over the next few days, the temperature is set to rise. for this morning, we have a bright and sunny start after a clear night. gradually, the cloud is going to increase today. we'll still see some bright and sunny spells. the wind is light. temperatures reaching 21 celsius. into this evening, you mightjust get a little bit of evening sunshine. overnight, the cloud will gradually start to thin and break up, especially in the west. so clearer spells developing. the wind stays light, minimum temperature between 8 and 11 celsius. for tuesday, you can see high pressure is still in charge. not quite so much cloud around tomorrow. the temperature is set to get a little bit warmer. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up. but that sunshine is strong and we're looking at a maximum temperature later in the afternoon of 25 celsius. the temperature, it is set to climb over the next few days. from wednesday onwards, you can see this warmer air edging up from the south. temperatures rising steadily.
7:36 am
for thursday, we're looking at 27 celsius. the peak in the temperature comes on friday. high 20s, potentially low 30s, getting cooler again for the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. now though it's back tojohn and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we are going to speak to environment secretary george eustice this morning, mainly about the fact the government is publishing a food strategy about how they'd get from the field to our plates. we also want to talk to him about the economy. can we start with the size of the economy? we have had figures

7:43 am
success and we will continue that. the real issue is when you have a big spike in energy costs we have seen at the moment and household bills for energy goes up, that has a big impact on household budgets. that is why a couple of weeks ago rishi sunak made some very significant enhancements to try to help the public with those, particularly vulnerable households. we now have a package of around £37 billion, helping households with their energy costs in particular. that will be a help and how we had chosen to address it was that it is one or two areas we are addressing the challenge in a different way suggested by henry dimbleby a year ago. nevertheless we are addressing those challenges. it is ago. nevertheless we are addressing those challenges.— those challenges. it is not 'ust henry dimbleby i those challenges. it is not 'ust henry dimbleby says i those challenges. it is not 'ust henry dimbleby says he h those challenges. it is not 'ust henry dimbleby says he ish henry dimbleby says he is disappointed with what you have come up disappointed with what you have come up with today. the consumer association says they are disappointed. a farming group said this food strategy looks very weak.

7:47 am
day at trent bridge, with a century of his own, before joe root went further, passing 150. england just 80 runs behind new zealand heading into day four today. there were pleasing performances all round. we want to get as close to them as we can, if not ahead. the pitch has started to spin a little bit. obviously, that might provide a few opportunities. hopefully we can sneak ahead and put them under pressure. because it is such a quick—scoring ground, then they have almost got to try and bat us out of it initially. if we can get some early wickets then we will see. one of the very best in rugby union — tributes are being paid to the former british and irish lions captain and welsh fly—half phil bennett, who's died at the age of 73. 0n the field he produced some special moments. he helped wales to win two five nations grand slams, and also starred in the lions' historic unbeaten tour of south africa in 1974. but after he retired he said his proudest moment came in a llanelli shirt, beating the all blacks. regarded as one of the game's all time greats — phil bennett who's died at the age of 73.
7:48 am
northern ireland manager ian baraclough insists he won't be leaving his role despite their poor run. they needed this late goal from jonny evans to salvage a 2—2 draw with cyprus in the nations league. boos were heard from sections of the crowd, with fans unhappy that northern ireland have now gone 14 games without a win in the competition. in tennis, the british number two dan evans won the nottingham open title for the second time. he had a straight sets win over australian jordan thompson. evans didn't drop a set through the entire tournament. no time for celebrating, afterwards he was straight in the car to queens ahead of his match tomorrow. it is a long drive down to london, so i think about it for the three hours. yes, it's amazing. i love playing on the grass. every time i get to play on this court i appreciate it. i've done a lot of hours training here down the road in loughborough. so it's close to home.
7:49 am
i do feel the love from you guys. thanks a lot for coming out again and hanging around to watch us. and four days before the us open starts, rory mcilroy has won a tournamnet on the pga tour. at a time of course when many players are defecting to the saudi—backed liv golf tour, he's remained on the pga tour, pipping tony finau by two shots here to win the canadian open. it's his first win since october — the victory taking him to 21 pga tour wins — one ahead of greg norman, who has been the driving force behind the breakaway liv golf series. going up against the best and beating the best always makes it extra special. then i alluded to... i had extra motivation with what is going on across the pond. the guy that is spearheading that tour has 20 wins in the pga tour and i was tied with him and i wanted to get one ahead of him, and i did. so that was really cool for me, just a little sense of

7:52 am
highlands. there will be clear skies in between with overnight lows between nine and 11 degrees. into tomorrow we start off with cloud in the south—east. that will move away. for most of the uk it will be dry, sunny and warm. the exception across the north and west of scotland and at times northern ireland where they will be spots of rain. the temperature is increasing. 13 in the north to 25 in the south. thank you very much. see you again soon. the houses of parliament have been described in many ways over the years — but it's probably fair to say that "menopause friendly" is not one of them. the commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle wants to change all that by introducing improvements like well—ventilated rooms and fans — to tackle hot flushes — and more flexible working hours. we're joined now by the author and broadcaster mariella frostrup, who has written a book

8:10 am
in a remote part of the amazon rainforest for more than a week. the items include mr phillips' boots and a backpack with clothes in. he went missing with another man, bruno pereira. our south america correspondent katy watson sent this report. it was along this stretch of water that dom phillips and bruno pereira disappeared. the vastness of the amazon plain to see. the armed forces are out searching. so too, the indigenous communities, many of whom knew bruno personally. he helped train indigenous groups to defend themselves against the increasing threat of illegal fishermen and poachers. dom phillips was writing a book, which is why the two men were travelling together, bruno introducing dom to people he knew. the indigenous community has set up camp near where they disappeared. we were asked not to identify anyone because they fear reprisals.

are translation: fishermen, financed by the narcos, - because they see us as an obstacle. our river guide is filipi. he and his father run a fishing tourism business, and the two men were staying in their small hotel. "don was really interested in an environment and was passionate about the amazon," filipi tells me. "he interviewed us and asked us about the work." up river, we come across a search team focused on a small area. the indigenous teams alongside, they know the terrain better than anyone. there is a police boat in the distance. beyond that there is another one further into the jungle. we have been told we can't go any further, but it is clearly something they are looking at. they have been here for several hours. shortly after, it is sealed off. we were told later this is where the men's belongings were found. the search teams continue. but these new developments point to a devastating conclusion. and hopes faded of finding
8:12 am
the two men alive. katy watson, bbc news. we will be speaking to dom phillips's sister in a few minutes. more home—grown produce and more support forfarmers — they'll be the central promises within the government's food strategy for england, which is released later today. the plan should improve food security, but well publicised recommendations to reduce consumption of salt, sugar and junk food are not expected to be included. our environment correspondent, claire marshall, has more. from the fields to our forks — more than three years in the making, this is the government's plan for how our entire food system should look. at its heart are the farmers. growing our own will boost food security, the government says, and create jobs. among the plans, a framework for farming the land sustainably, including taking care of nature. a consultation on whether the public sector — hospitals,
8:13 am
schools and care homes — should spend more of their budgets on locally grown, or higher standard food. there will be a review of the labour shortage, including using more machines, and issuing more visas for migrants. no mention of reducing meat consumption, but there will be money for research into meat alternatives. this comes after a wide—ranging review by restaurateur henry dimbleby. iam hoping i am hoping the health secretary will be bold and brave in a difficult political context and axe to break thatjunk difficult political context and axe to break that junk food difficult political context and axe to break thatjunk food cycle and we get away from this narrative of personal responsibility and education, which is important, but it isn't going to get it out of the hole we are in. the national farmers' union now welcomes the plans. i think it's really welcome to see government committing to food production and food security. there's a strong commitment
8:14 am
in there to maintain our current levels of self—sufficiency, and to produce more, effectively, of we are good at, more of our fruit and vegetables which have been in decline. so, you know, that's a laudable ambition. there's strong commitments on government procurement — more british, more local into our schools and hospitals — and that's very, very welcome indeed for farmers. but i think all of this will depend on the policies that are put in place to deliver it. so, it's the start of a journey. many campaigners are asking though, what happened to the proposed sugar and salt tax and healthier school meals? according to the government, these will be addressed in another white paper at a later date. claire marshall, bbc news. a group of us senators — from both sides of the political divide — has reached an agreement on potentially tightening gun laws, following a spate of mass shootings and a weekend of protests. the measures could include tougher background checks for younger buyers and preventing the purchase of firearms for other people. the country's biggest gun lobby group, the national rifle association, said it will oppose any

8:18 am
enough to produce some light rain and drizzle across scotland. some of it getting into northern ireland. you can see how the cloud bailed during the morning. we are looking at silly —— sunny intervals. through the rest of the day you will find it will slowly brighten up in northern ireland, wales and the south—west. and if you are going to the tennis at queens today, it should stay dry. temperatures today a little bit lower than they were yesterday. yesterday we reached 23 at heathrow, today we are looking at 19 or 20. as we head on through the evening and overnight, some of the cloud melts away. we hang onto it in the far south—east. more cloud coming in across scotland and northern ireland, bringing in some rain. these are the overnight lows. where we have the clear skies at night we start with some sunshine tomorrow. the cloud in the far south—east breaking up. we hang onto it in scotland and northern ireland with light and patchy rain. top temperatures higher tomorrow at 23.
8:19 am
thank you. we will see you soon. irate thank you. we will see you soon. 9 promised you some inspiration, some motivation. this is it. we have an update on martin hibbert a's attempted to top of mount kilimanjaro. he attempted to top of mount kilimanjaro.— kilimanjaro. he did it. it's amazing- _ five years after being paralysed in the manchester arena bomb, martin has been trying to reach the summit of africa's highest mountain in his specialised wheelchair, aided by a team of local guides and porters. it is hard to underestimate just how tough this has been, how gruelling. notjust tough this has been, how gruelling. not just as if tough this has been, how gruelling. notjust as if it —— physical challenge but the mental challenge as well. it was a journey of defiance, courage, friendship and love. graham satchell has the story. martin!
8:20 am
the top of mount kilimanjaro, the highest peak in africa, and martin hibbert is on the final approach. only 65% of climbers make it this far. martin has done it in a wheelchair. i could just see the sign at the top. i didn't know whether to laugh, cry... it was just, yeah, it was just such a relief to get there, and know that we'd done it. something i'll always remember. just so proud. cheering. it is an extraordinary achievement for a man who was nearly killed in the manchester arena attack five years ago.

8:22 am
everything that i wanted, you know, when the abedis wanted to destroy that five years ago, so what a perfect reflector for doing this together with the people that saved my life. there is no better message. when salman abedi detonated his suicide bomb at the manchester arena, it killed 22 people and left hundreds injured. martin and his daughter eve were less than 20 metres away from the explosion. the attack left martin paralysed from the waist down. he was hit with 22 pieces of shrapnel. 0ne severed his spinal cord. martin has always been determined to turn an evil act of terror into a force for good. that's why i'm doing this, to show that, you know, don't write off somebody because in their wheelchair. look at what they can do when they've got the right help and support. they can climb mount kilimanjaro, you know.
8:23 am
so there's a bigger narrative to it. feeling it on my arms now. but we'll get there, we'll get there. disabled people can literally do anything they want to do. so hopefully, people see that and embrace disability and not turn their back on it. so there's a long way to go, but hopefully doing this has highlighted, just how important, you know, help and support is. i think one of my shrapnel wounds is rubbing. can you just have a look at it? rubbing. can you 'ust have a look at it? :, :, , :, , rubbing. can you 'ust have a look at it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the — it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the one, _ it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the one, is _ it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the one, is it? _ it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the one, is it? just - it? yeah, it does look a bit angry. that's the one, is it? just scratch | that's the one, is it? just scratch it, really gentle. _ that's the one, is it? just scratch it, really gentle. this _ that's the one, is it? just scratch it, really gentle. this is - that's the one, is it? just scratch it, really gentle. this is a - it, really gentle. this is a friendship _ it, really gentle. this is a friendship you _ it, really gentle. this is a friendship you will - it, really gentle. this is a friendship you will never| it, really gentle. this is a - friendship you will never break. i am filling — friendship you will never break. i am filling in these gaps for the stuff— am filling in these gaps for the stuff martin can't do himself, and a fight. _ stuff martin can't do himself, and a fight. i'm _ stuff martin can't do himself, and a fight. i'm going to put some sun cream _ fight. i'm going to put some sun cream on— fight. i'm going to put some sun cream on it. _ fight. i'm going to put some sun cream on it, to lubricate it. i am making — cream on it, to lubricate it. i am making sure _ cream on it, to lubricate it. i am making sure his skin is good. if he ends _ making sure his skin is good. if he ends up _ making sure his skin is good. if he ends up with— making sure his skin is good. if he ends up with pressure damage or moisture — ends up with pressure damage or moisture damage, that could end this

8:27 am
he has brought some of her ashes to spread at the top. the final part of the ascent is the most difficult. martin is lifted over huge boulders. but finally, he makes it to gilman's point, one of the three official summits at the top of kilimanjaro. cheering. the rest of the team are on a different part of the mountain, so there is the briefest celebration, some photos. and then a moment martin will never forget. we've done it. we're at the top of kilimanjaro. sadly, my mum passed away in november, and i know she was immensely proud. i said she was going to be with me, and she has. so ijust said when i got to the top of kilimanjaro, i'd spread some ashes play our favourite tunes. so i'm going to do that now. so it's carpenters, for all we know. this is for you, mum. music plays.
8:28 am
it was a very special moment. and to play that music as well, which is a very special song between me and my mum... i am getting emotional now. sorry. sorry. love you, mum. singing. the team meet up for a final farewell. it is a joyous celebration, a thank you and a goodbye. i said we'd all come back as different people,
8:29 am
and i certainly will do. just the love and like, that then, just... yeah. i'll definitely be a different person now going home. and i think everyone else will be as well. it doesn't stop here. we have climbed a mountain but we now need to move mountains to get to what we need to do in terms of social care change, changes in accessibility and things like that. i need all these people to continue to give me that support. well done, martin. he has been in touch this morning. he sent us a little messy to say thank you to everybody for their response to that film and everything he has achieved. —— a little message. he will be here with us tomorrow, only so far.
8:30 am
