6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the first flight taking asylum seekers to rwanda leaves the uk today — but there'll be just eight migrants on board. senior bishops say the policy shames britain. a new case for scottish independence — nicola sturgeon�*s to launch a second referendum campaign today. her opponents say it's not the time for another divisive vote. on the fifth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire, a series of memorial events are taking place, to remember the 72 people who lost their lives. and for some the wait for a safe home continues. work�*s begun on most high—rise buildings with the same cladding as grenfell,
6:01 am
but thousands in smaller blocks have been left in cladding limbo. aiming for victory — how england have set up a final day shot at a series—clinching win against new zealand. good morning. another cloudy day for northern ireland and scotland, with some rain at times. for england and wales, more sunshine than yesterday, and also one. —— warmer. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th ofjune. the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda under a new government scheme, is due to take off later today. it follows an appeal court ruling yesterday. campaigners were trying to stop the flight before a full hearing next month, on whether the policy is lawful. however, just eight migrants are expected to be on the flight when it leaves — and some of them are still appealing their case, as vincent mcaviney reports. despite the government's publicity around its new policy,
6:02 am
yesterday, 37 asylum seekers arrived on the kent coast. but they could face potential removal to rwanda, because they've travelled from france, a safe country. this is the boeing 767, chartered by the home office to take the first group of asylum seekers on a one way ticket to rwanda later today. the plane can carry around 200 on the 4,095 mile journey, but only eight asylum seekers will be aboard, three of whom are in court in the next few hours, arguing to be removed from the flight home. home secretary priti patel has long argued the policy is in the public interest, designed to deter unnecessaryjourneys from safe eu countries, and thwart the criminal gangs charging for dangerous channel crossings. shame on you! the policy is, though, dividing public opinion, evidenced by these scenes outside the courts ofjustice yesterday, and the home office. some agree it's an effective way to deal with illegal migration. but for others, it's an unsafe
6:03 am
and unlawful way to treat vulnerable people, who are asking for sanctuary in the uk. the leaders of the church of england, including the archbishops of canterbury and york, have written an open letter decrying it as an "immoral policy that shames britain". this isn't about rwanda. we'd take exactly the same view if britain was seeking to outsource its care for refugees, for asylum seekers, to any other third country. this is about people who have the right — a right established since the 1951 convention — to seek asylum in the uk, and to have their asylum case processed and determined here. the policy is also attracting international attention. at the united nations in geneva yesterday, it was described as catastrophic. this is all wrong. this is all wrong, this deal. — for so many different reasons. but the man who used to be in charge of britain's borders believes something has to be done to stop the ever increasing numbers
6:04 am
being exploited by traffickers. there's 80 million refugees around the world. according to unhcr, even more now, after ukrainians seeking resettlement in the western world. and i think there is an upper limit actually, to the number that any country can take. in the rwandan capsule, kigali. final preparations are under way at accommodation for those who do board this first flight. the uk government says the arrangement is a model the rest of the world could follow. but with further legal challenges in the coming weeks, there's a chance those relocated here might be given a return ticket to the united kingdom. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. what are the political implications of this? let's speak now to our political correspondent nick eardley. nick, there have been legal challenges, but the government is pushing ahead with this plan? yeah, morning. it is a really controversial policy. it has been

6:08 am
at this hour. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, will launch a campaign for another independence referendum today. the first independence vote took place in 2014, when 55% opted to remain part of the uk. the government in westminster says now is not the time for what it calls another divisive referendum. scottish labour says the snp is focusing on a constitutional obsession. the snp leader wants to hold a second poll next year, although that requires the approval of the uk government. nobody right now can look at the uk, the mess it's in currently, and the prospects for the uk outside the european union, surely, and conclude anything but that scotland can do better as an independent country? in fact, had we known in 2014, everything we know now about the path the uk would have taken in the years since, then i'm in no doubt scotland would have voted yes back then. an update this morning on a story we reported yesterday. the family of a missing british journalist have been speaking to the bbc,
6:09 am
after hearing conflicting reports that his body had been found. dom phillips and bruno pereira went missing from a remote part of the amazon rainforest more than a week ago. our south america correspondent katy watson reports. deep in the amazon, the rivers act like roads. the wider tributaries are the highways, but it's in the shortcuts used by locals that the searches are also going on. bruno pereira and dom phillips still haven't been found, although on monday it was reported their bodies had been located. then, there was a swift denial by the federal police, saying that wasn't true. the indigenous peoples association, also searching for the two men, denied the news. we were told there'd been a misunderstanding. but i spoke to dom phillips' brother—in—law, who told me what he had learnt from the brazilian embassy in the uk. the guy who was leading that conversation was a guy called roberto doring, and he said that two bodies had been found tied
6:10 am
to a tree in, you know, in a part of the rainforest. there's no scope for... he was very confident that he had a reliable official source. in the region where they disappeared, the indigenous communities held a protest. "who killed bruno and dom?" this sign reads. people here wantjustice. the authorities are continuing to scour the area from the air and on the water. they confirmed that nothing more had been found. not far from the search area is the community of sao rafael. it was here that dom and bruno stopped off shortly before going missing. it's a village that lives by fishing, in a region where protected species are becoming increasingly valuable, and illegal fishing is on the rise. it's this line of inquiry that the authorities have been following, arresting a neighbour in a small hamletjust a few minutes from here. but resident moreno shuts down when i ask him about the suspect, amarildo da costa.
6:11 am
"i don't know, i didn't see anything. i don't have any information," he tells me. the community here is frightened. this is a region so forgotten by the state, where people here are often left to their own devices, creating a lawlessness with devastating consequences. katy watson, bbc news. ukraine's eastern city of severodonetsk is now completely cut off from the rest of the country, after all three bridges were destroyed by russian forces. heavy fighting has been taking place there for weeks. thousands of civilians and ukrainian troops are now trapped in the city, with no way of delivering aid and supplies. our correspondent, joe inwood, is in kyiv this morning. joe, how important is severodonetsk to this war? it's been the focus of the russian offensive — it's been the focus of the russian offensive for weeks. there has been

"clearfor take—off" is the headline on the metro this morning, which leads on the news that the government has been given the go—ahead to start sending migrants to rwanda from today. the guardian's front page says the eu is poised to launch legal action against the uk, over ministers' claims that an emergency loophole allows them to scrap post—brexit checks and standards in northern ireland. the daily mirror's headline reports that the duke of cambridge has given the queen an ultimatum to block the duke of york's return to public life, after settling a sex assault case. the paper says that prince william threatened to pull out of a royal procession at windsor if his uncle was allowed to take part. the telegraph has another story from that order of the garter event yesterday.

the paper has a picture of the queen alongside the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall, who was appointed into the order.

6:20 am
does it seem very recent for you? it feels very recent. hanan and her family lived on the ninth floor when it started. just like it was raining ash within the flat. and the flames came up towards me in my face. which is where getting out became an obvious decision? became an obvious decision. i knew that that was it, because it was coming in. it was coming in. it was her son, zach, 16, who said, "let's go", so they did. i couldn't make decisions. and i do say that the tables turned. i became the child and he became the adult. once outside, hanan looked up at the tower. the flames were climbing fast. so in the time that you took to get out, they'd gone from nine, floor nine to floor 17? yes. and abdulaziz, your brother's on... 215t. ..on 21? yeah.
6:21 am
her close family trapped. abdulaziz el—wa habi, his wife, faouzia, their children, yasin, nur hada and mehdi. they'd all left and they were sent back up. so they were sent back up. they were sent back into the flat. and then by the time then, i could see it was there and they basically said that they were told to stay put. mehdi was acutely distressed, my nephew, so he was eight. and my brotherjust said to me, "it's going to be ok", because he wanted me to reassure his son that it was going to be ok. so i said, "yes, it's going to be ok." and that's something i've got to live with, because i told him it was going to be ok and it wasn't. oursister—in—law, faouzia, was the anchor of her family. her brother's family was lost in the fire. but the grenfell tower public inquiry made time to remember them, and all the victims. had she lived until adulthood, i think he would have liked to have been a comedian. although i do think he had some
6:22 am
work to do on hisjokes. i asked hanan what lessons we can learn from grenfell. she said the differences between people can affect what happens to them. herfamily is originally from morocco. my brother came to the uk when he was nine. i was born here. i'm not saying this is for every family, but i feel that maybe the... ..the environment that he was raised in, and the environment that i was raised in, was different. if the emergency services told him to stay put, he'd trust them. you know, iwould be like, i'm not100% sure. you know, follow your own gut, your own instincts, but he trusts them. we are all human. it doesn't matter where someone comes from, where what someone looks like, it doesn't matter. we're all human beings. we all have a heart. we all have a soul. we all have a body. her family finally has a house. very little survived the fire. a few things like my
6:23 am
driver's license. for a long time, they lived in a single hotel room. hanan's daughter particularly struggled to deal with what's happened. in the whole of that time, the hotel, the 18 months, and even when we moved into this place here, we were again just holding hands, sleeping in the same bed. and your son is 21? he's 21. he's literally up all night. he doesn't sleep. five years on, this is not over. not for hanan, and not for the people of grenfell. how well do you think that community, albeit scattered, has has healed over the five years? and what would the answer be for you, hanan? the answer for me is that we haven't healed, and we're not going to heal. that's my answer, because pain — you can see the cracks. that was hanan wahabi, speaking to home affairs correspondent tom symonds. later in the programme victoria derbyshire will be reporting from london, hearing from more of the people whose lives have been affected by the terrible event five
6:24 am
years ago. in the years since the grenfell fire, work has been taking place to remove flammable cladding on other tower blocks. nina's here to explain how that process is going. morning. stories like the one tom was hearing there, those human stories of the immediate impact of the fire, was the focus initially, and then, what can we do to make sure this never happens again? how do we make these buildings safe? it has not been an easyjob. here we are five years on and thatjob is farfrom complete. good morning. the government promised that all high—rise buildings with the same material as grenfell — aluminum composite cladding, or acm — would have it replaced. and despite missing two deadlines, that's almost happened. 9a% of all high—rises in england have either completed or started work to replace the cladding. that's properties over 18 metres. they were offered grants to do the work. just 58 tower blocks are left with dangerous cladding, and there are plans afoot
6:25 am
for them. there are other cladding materials or fire safety issues, which have since been deemed to make buildings unsafe. there are 903 high—rise buildings like this in england. this would account for around 50,000 flats and 120,000 residents. residents like stephen. funding has been agreed to remove the cladding from his tower block in manchester, but work still hasn't begun, and he is having to fork out for fire safety wardens to patrol the building. it's been a nightmare from start to finish. we are nowhere near the finish. we are nowhere near the finish. we are nowhere near the finish. we have literally got no end in sight. in the last 18 months, we've sent over 2000 in males just asking questions and getting information, and just going round and round in circles. it does consume every minute of your life. there's not a day or an hour goes by
6:26 am
where you don't think about it or it doesn't impact you in some way, from costs, the fact we can't move, we can't get on with our lives. we would love to sell this apartment, move out of town, get a house. but we are just trapped, mentally, financially, physically, trapped in this apartment until, hopefully, eventually, we can hopefully sell it. there are also thousands of buildings notjudged as high—rise, but which could still have safety risks. a new tax was brought in this year to pay for work on these buildings. the government admits there could be as many as 9,000 of these 11—18—metre—high blocks that need cladding removal or other works. then there are buildings under 11 metres, and there are no estimates of how many of those there are and whether work is needed. there is no government or house—builder cash to pay for these works either. no wonder the issue has been dubbed a cladding crisis.
6:27 am
the building owners might be reluctant to say there —— their building — reluctant to say there —— their building is— reluctant to say there —— their building is unsafe. at the same time their mortgage and insurance providers might be reluctant to say the building is safe. you end up without— the building is safe. you end up without inconsistency and the worst of both _ without inconsistency and the worst of both worlds, where unsafe buildings most unsafe buildings are given— buildings most unsafe buildings are given remediationjob. the given remediation job. the government given remediationjob. the government needs to step in and say, this is— government needs to step in and say, this is what— government needs to step in and say, this is what safe building looks like. _ this is what safe building looks like. this— this is what safe building looks like, this is one of unsafe building looks— like, this is one of unsafe building looks like. — like, this is one of unsafe building looks like, and until they do that, i looks like, and until they do that, i don't _ looks like, and until they do that, idon't think— looks like, and until they do that, i don't think we are really going to even _ idon't think we are really going to even start— i don't think we are really going to even start to see the end of this process — the government told us it had introduced the biggest improvements to building safety in a generation. this includes a ban on the type of cladding used at grenfell, and cash from the house—builders to fix unsafe buildings. the reality is if you live in one of those houses not eligible for support, you can only imagine the

anxiety. and to add to this, alimony and is one of those raw materials that are seen a massive impact on inflation —— aluminium. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. events are taking place across the capital today to mark the fifth anniversary of the grenfell tower tragedy. 72 people died when a fire ripped through the block of flats in north kensington. those lost will be remembered at a special service at westminster abbey. a multi—faith vigil will also take place near the tower. the impact of the tragedy continues to affect so many. a community arts group set up in the aftermath to support young people has now become a permanent.
6:29 am
many say it is "a second family" to them and has allowed them to deal with what happened, as well as develop skills and gain qualifications. we have to kind of backtrack and look at where it all started. it feels unreal because, you know, out of tragedy came, you know, this amazing opportunity, this amazing space, amazing people. we'll have lots of coverage of the anniversary today. bbc radio london will be broadcasting from north kensington between 10am and 2pm. and we will have a special programme live this evening at 6.30pm. heathrow�*s terminal a is set to reopen to travellers today. it's been closed for over two years because of the pandemic. the reopening comes as heathrow announced passenger numbers continue to rise. over a million more people travelled through the airport in may, compared to march. bmw and mercedes drivers in surrey are being warned to keep their carfobs inside signal—blocking bags after a rise in thefts.
6:30 am
surrey police say thieves are using technology to extend and capture signals from inside people's homes, tricking cars into thinking fobs are close enough to unlock vehicles — it's allowed dozens of cars to be stolen. let's take a look at the tfl board this morning. the bakerloo line is part suspended. on to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine. high pressure? it stays in charge not only for today, but for the next few days as well. so plenty of fine and dry weather and also the temperature rising. now, we've still got a bit of patchy cloud today, but the temperature later on this afternoon reaching a maximum of 25 celsius. overnight, we're looking at some warm evening sunshine and then it stays clear and dry overnight itself. the wind remains light, as it does so today,
6:31 am
and the minimum temperature somewhere between 8 and 12 celsius. it leads the way to a bright start on wednesday. now we can see high pressure still very much in charge, blocking these fronts coming in from the northwest to the uk. so it's another fine, dry and sunny day for wednesday. again, the wind is light, but the temperature just a little bit warmer. we're looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 27 celsius. it stays fine, dry overnight as well. and you can see on thursday, warm air coming up from the southwest. now, this is when the humidity really starts to increase, becoming uncomfortable at night times with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. by friday, daytime temperatures in the low—305. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though, it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning... he's achieved the remarkable — reaching the summit of africa's

6:33 am
over the past few months, we've been bringing you stories from the falklands war — a0 years on from the conflict, 255 british military personnel their lives. today marks the anniversary of liberation day — the surrender of argentinian forces which brought the war to an end. breakfast'sjohn maguire is in portsmouth this morning, where british naval ships first set sail from. morning, john. morning. we are at a historic dockyard in portsmouth. for those of us old enough to remember, it seems extraordinary the falklands war took place a0 years ago. it is notjust that distance in time but the physical distance that a war was fought by british forces so far away in the south atlantic. we are here at the historic dockyard, as i say that there was a landing craft used in san carlos bay when the
6:34 am
amphibious landings took place to try to recapture the islands. the 1ath ofjune 1982 try to recapture the islands. the 1ath ofjune1982 was the time at which the argentine forces finally surrendered after a war that had lasted two and a half months. many of the people that went to war, of course, that were sent all the way down to the other end of the earth, as with all wars, where very young man, just teenagers. here is the story ofjust three of man, just teenagers. here is the story of just three of them. i was 16. invincible. i thought so. i kind of look at people around me now, who are a similar age, and i think, would you be able to do what we did then? we're going to war. we'll be fine. we'll be immortal. and then you find out that it's a whole different ballgame. archive: the falkland islands, the british colony in the south. atlantic, has fallen. prime minister, bbc.
6:35 am
can we have a word about the situation? the government has now decided that a large task force will sail as soon as all preparations are complete. we didn't know where it was. we didn't know where the falklands... nobody had a clue where the falklands was whatsoever. i think i wrote to every single member of my family, and very apprehensive. very nervous. internally, very, very scared. but being, i'll say a man, but i wasn't, i was a boy. the pride wouldn't let me show that. archive: the task force, | with all its power, is ready. britain has gathered its might. it must set its course. i was handed a piece of paper. and it had "fill in the details." it was a reality check. so the older guys had already written wills. but me, as a 17—year—old, not a chance.
6:36 am
archive: the british battery has kept up a constant barrage, - seeking out the enemy guns. hms sheffield lies sinking in the south atlantic on a day — may ath, 1982 — that brought the reality of war into britain's dispute with argentina over the falkland islands. i'm not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid, but i counted them all out and i counted them all back. the pilots were unhurt, tearful and jubilant, giving thumbs up signs. 6th june, d—day of all days, i became 18. but overnight, on the 5th and 6th june, we were sent inland. we were sent close to land to do naval gunfire support. and that night we fired 277 a.5—inch shells. that was my 18th birthday. so, like, other people get firecrackers, i got 277 a.5—inch round

it's a wonderful feeling knowing that we've actually done summat that's going to have an impact on that island for such a long time. so extraordinary to hear those first—hand accounts. let's hear another one. matthew sheldon is with us from the national museum of the royal navy. you are a royal marines bandsman. at wartime you double up as a medic. a0 years on, what were your most vivid memories of the war? for me it was when the belgrano and the sheffield were sunk. we knew then we would be in a shooting war. after that, the 21st of may was d—day for us when the camera went saint callas water, later known as
6:40 am
tom ali, and we put our troops ashore. all the argentine air raids came in and we were subjected with the other ships to a cacophony of sound and bombing around us. we then received our first sound and bombing around us. we then received ourfirst dead sound and bombing around us. we then received our first dead and wounded which the band members are unloaded from helicopters and lead us to doing some burials at sea, which were very emotive for people in a royal marines that we knew. for us it went from a soft walker travelling on a cruise ship, to suddenly the full reality hit us on the 21st of may. suddenly the full reality hit us on the 215t of may. you suddenly the full reality hit us on the 21st of may.— the 21st of may. you are also a ounu the 21st of may. you are also a young man. — the 21st of may. you are also a young man. 25 _ the 21st of may. you are also a young man, 25 years _ the 21st of may. you are also a young man, 25 years old, - the 21st of may. you are also a - young man, 25 years old, something like that. you wonder what can prepare you for experiences like that. i prepare you for experiences like that. ., ., prepare you for experiences like that. ., , , that. i “oined the royal marines, my father that. ijoined the royal marines, my fatherjoined — that. ijoined the royal marines, my fatherjoined the _ that. ijoined the royal marines, my fatherjoined the royal _ that. ijoined the royal marines, my fatherjoined the royal marines - that. ijoined the royal marines, my fatherjoined the royal marines and| fatherjoined the royal marines and was killed actually. when you join the band said that he never really expect to go to war. we thought we would be looking after the barix were the commandos go off and fight.

6:43 am
specialising as a cold war navy to fight the russians in the north atlantic. suddenly you get something thatis atlantic. suddenly you get something that is more akin to a second world war operation. here we are a0 years on, in 1982 we were closer to the end of the second world war than we are today. if you look at some of the military and political leaders, they had some direct experience of they had some direct experience of the second world war. it was landing as a war in a very different time. it was not clear what would happen. in terms of 1982 it was a great shock, it felt like a surprise invasion although there had been earlier warnings and ramblings. we did not know what would happen, what the international context would be and if a hot war would develop. the start to the war was about a long passage down, a lot of preparation, diplomatic noises. would it become a shooting war? it then became very serious for the navy with the loss
6:44 am
of the sheffield and then it became pretty existential for the navy. this was a maritime war, no navy, no maritime support services like no other ships taken up for trade. it was an incredible feat at the time. also, loaded withjeopardy. it was the navy that could win double, the navy that could lose the war. it was the airpower and the control of the air that the carriers gave you. if the carriers were taken out, the ships are very vulnerable and they faced multiple threats. very important to recognise the achievement as it was. we can look a0 years on and we know what happened. a5 a0 years on and we know what happened. as it unfolded it was not clear what would happen. thank you very much- — clear what would happen. thank you very much. fascinating _ clear what would happen. thank you very much. fascinating to _ clear what would happen. thank you very much. fascinating to hear- clear what would happen. thank you very much. fascinating to hear your| very much. fascinating to hear your memories and also your reflections this morning. join us back at

portsmouth later on. we will give you a good look around the landing craft. a bit humbling to touch history, isn't it? that is what we will be doing later in the programme. so right about how poignant the personal stories are and on the menu card. beautiful blue skies in portsmouth. good morning. some of us are starting with blue skies but others are not so fortunate. more clad across scotland and northern ireland. over the next few days it will turn hot and humid folsom, especially england and wales. by the time we get to friday, some of the heat will move further north into southern scotland and the south of northern ireland. the temperatures will always be highest in the south—east of england. it has been very hot as we have been hearing in
6:46 am
spain. it was a2 celsius in yesterday stop this is a temperature anomaly chart. where you see the brown and rustic colours, that is where temperatures are way above average. today you can see quite nicely across much of western europe. if i run the sequence, watch the uk, the heat is transferring northwards. we are looking at thursday. look how the heat travels across marshall's. on saturday, the killer average temperatures return from the north. —— the cooler. it will bring rain as it pushes south. not quite clearing their warmer air in the past south of england but that will happen as the front sinks south. for much of scotland and also northern ireland, a range of 15 to 19 celsius. in between for the rest of scotland, much of england and wales, the range will be between 25
6:47 am
and 29. in the far south—east of england it is likely to be 31, 30 two celsius. we have ploughed springing across northern ireland and scotland. here it is quite thin. the cloud. through the day a bit more fair weather cloud will develop. that will melt away and the sunshine will be back. for northern ireland and scotland, there will be rain and drizzle and a fresh breeze in the north—west. temperatures ranging from 13 in lerwick, 18 in belfast and 25 in london. pollen levels are very high almost across the board. especially grass pollen that we are talking about currently. the rain in scotland and northern ireland will push northeast. in some rural areas the temperature will fall away. for most it will be a
6:48 am
fairly mild night. a mild start to the day tomorrow. a notice of sunshine across england and wales. parts of eastern scotland faring quite nicely. more cloud and some rain. temperatures 13 in lerwick, 20 newcastle, 27 now in london. the heat is starting to build. we are looking at more sunshine. on wednesday into thursday, you can see how the high pressure extends its influence across the uk. on thursday we start to import the hot air from the near continent. we are looking at a lot of dry weather and sunshine. it will start to feel humid. here is the cold front coming in across the north west, introducing some rain. thursday into friday it will be humid again. the weather front friday it will be humid again. the weatherfront sinking friday it will be humid again. the weather front sinking south on friday, taking rain with it. note

6:50 am
day five dawns with both teams thinking they can win it, and yet neither might. that's the beauty of test match cricket. we've been delivered here via a day of constantly flipping fortunes. unbelievable from joe root. at one point, it seemed joe root could hit the ball anywhere. the problem came when he hit it there. out for 176. he wanted more. so did england. they fell into a familiar mid—innings crisis. matthew potts said yes, then wait... too late. ben foakes on 56 had come too far. england lost direction. all out still 1a runs behind with the ball they needed to get things moving. commentator: 0h, he's knocked him over. - that's jimmy anderson's genius. his 650th test wicket. but england would need to stay patient, wait for the mistake. this was devon conway's — gone for 52.
6:51 am
doubt now crept in under black caps. will young made 56 runs confidently, then dithered on the 57th. he was out. england were in. but they know every new zealand hit adds to the english workload when they come to bat, and that every wicket they take limits that damage. a match that might have drifted may get one final twist. game on. patrick geary, bbc news. england, wales scotland all play later. while australia became the latest team to qualify for the world cup. no doubt who the star was — goalkeeper andrew redmayne, who was substituted on just for the spot kicks against peru. so a bit of pressure, no sign of it though as he utilised a technique made famous by liverpool goalkeeper bruce grobellar, the bendy legs. and it worked, as he saved the crucial spotkick. a5 were some of the importers who covered the game. measured and
6:52 am
impartial coverage. yeah! we're through. we're through to the world cup! yeah! he has got the details right. is the australian tv estimate perhaps we can all adopt that. plenty of emotion and personality. and the last world cup spot will be confirmed when new zealand play costa rica later. england's only goal in their nations league matches has come from the penalty spot so far, having failed to score from open play in all three of their games. not that that's the only thing for gareth southgate to ponder with talk surfacing of a possible netflix—style documentary following the wives and girlfriends of england's footballers during this winter's world cup in qatar. well, not my cup of tea, really, but i'd be surprised if the group of players we've got
6:53 am
would have interest in that because they've wanted to focus on the football. i think the focus in russia and last summer was all about the players, and everything that they do, and we've never had any issues. he says it is not his cup of tea. you can see why he might think that is a distraction. has there ever been more contrast? gareth southgate and reporter. thank you very much indeed. see you again in a bit. now, anyone with a dog will know that if you turn your back on a puppy forjust a second, it will probably be getting up to something it shouldn't be! this is 12—week—old daisy. look at herface!

6:58 am

on the fifth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire, a series of memorial events are taking place to remember the 72 people who lost their lives. he's the crowd surfing pensioner who took a tumble. but on the bright side, doug james got to meet the lead singer of the killers. we'll be chatting to him. good morning. for england and wales today it is going to be another sunny and warm day. going to be another sunny and warm da . ., ., ., ., day. for northern ireland and scotland. _ day. for northern ireland and scotland. you _ day. for northern ireland and scotland, you have _ day. for northern ireland and scotland, you have got - day. for northern ireland and scotland, you have got more | day. for northern ireland and - scotland, you have got more cloud and at times some rain. pollen levels are high or very high almost across the board. details later in the programme. good morning. it's tuesday, the 1ath ofjune. the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda under a new government scheme is due to take off later today. it follows an appeal
7:02 am
court ruling yesterday. campaigners were trying to stop the flight, before a full hearing next month on whether the policy is lawful. however, just seven migrants are expected to be on the flight when it leaves — and some of them are still appealing their case, as vincent mcaviney reports. despite the government's publicity around its new policy, yesterday, 37 asylum seekers arrived on the kent coast. but they could face potential removal to rwanda, because they've travelled from france, a safe country. this is the boeing 767, chartered by the home office to take the first group of asylum seekers on a one way ticket to rwanda later today. the plane can carry around 200 on the a,095 mile journey, but only eight asylum seekers will be aboard, three of whom are in court in the next few hours, arguing to be removed from the flight. home secretary priti patel has
7:03 am
long argued the policy is in the public interest, designed to deter unnecessary journeys from safe eu countries, and thwart the criminal gangs charging for dangerous channel crossings. shame on you! the policy is, though, dividing public opinion, evidenced by these scenes outside the courts ofjustice yesterday, and the home office. some agree it's an effective way to deal with illegal migration. but for others, it's an unsafe and unlawful way to treat vulnerable people, who are asking for sanctuary in the uk. the leaders of the church of england, including the archbishops of canterbury and york, have written an open letter decrying it as an "immoral policy that shames britain". this isn't about rwanda. we'd take exactly the same view if britain was seeking to outsource its care for refugees, for asylum seekers, to any other third country. this is about people who have the right — a right established since the 1951 convention — to seek asylum in the uk, and to have their asylum case processed and determined here.
7:04 am
the policy is also attracting international attention. at the united nations in geneva yesterday, it was described as catastrophic. this is all wrong. this is all wrong, this deal, for so many different reasons. but the man who used to be in charge of britain's borders believes something has to be done to stop the ever increasing numbers being exploited by traffickers. there's 80 million refugees around the world. according to unhcr, even more now, after ukrainians seeking resettlement in the western world. and i think there is an upper limit actually, to the number that any country can take. in the rwandan capsule, kigali, final preparations are under way at accommodation for those who do board this first flight. the uk government says the arrangement is a model the rest of the world could follow. but with further legal challenges in the coming weeks, there's a chance those relocated here might be given a return ticket to the united kingdom. vincent mcaviney, bbc news.

7:10 am
in fact, had we known in 2014, everything we know now about the path the uk would have taken in the years since, then i'm in no doubt scotland would have voted yes back then. in the last few moments, the latest figures on the current state of the job market have been published and vacancies are at a record high. nina is here with more for us. this is a continuing story. these are the — this is a continuing story. these are the numbers that come out every month— are the numbers that come out every month reflecting on who is working, how many— month reflecting on who is working, how many people are out of work, where _ how many people are out of work, where we — how many people are out of work, where we are working and how many 'obs where we are working and how many jobs are _ where we are working and how many jobs are available. this morning we learned _ jobs are available. this morning we learned unemployment from february to april— learned unemployment from february to april remains really low at 3.8%. that is— to april remains really low at 3.8%. that is a _ to april remains really low at 3.8%. that is a trend we are seeing continue _ that is a trend we are seeing continue for the past six months. vacancies. — continue for the past six months. vacancies, this is fascinating. there — vacancies, this is fascinating. there are _ vacancies, this is fascinating. there are 1.3 millionjobs available for the _ there are 1.3 millionjobs available for the second period beyond that. that is— for the second period beyond that. that is massive, that is huge, that breaks— that is massive, that is huge, that breaks all— that is massive, that is huge, that breaks all records. there's lots of

7:16 am
pushing a shopping trolley full of bottles of water. she was taking them to the church to give to some of the survivors who'd gathered there — the first sign really that the community here was going to step up and help their neighbours. and it really did step up. and a man in his dressing gown pyjamas and slippers — because that's what he was wearing when he ran down the stairs of the tower to get out. and a woman who said to me at 7.30 that morning, "it's cheap cladding on the side of the tower, you know." here's how the events of that night unfolded. and just a warning — this report does contain images of the night. you may find them upsetting. just before 1am onjune1ath, 2017, a devastating fire broke out in the kitchen of a flat

7:18 am
we saw a lot. we saw a lot, man. we saw a lot with our own eyes. we saw friends, familes. honestly, it's all right. you don't see any any more. i'm so sorry. the final death toll is now recorded as 72. the youngest victim was six months old. the oldest, 8a. baby logan gomez, who was stillborn in hospital onjune 1ath, the morning after the fire, is also included. good morning, everybody. a public inquiry into the disaster is under way. phase one found that a previous refurbishment of the tower breached building regulations. it heard evidence that plastic material in the cladding was the main reason the flames spread. ring 999.
7:19 am
will there be prosecutions? the metropolitan police is looking into offences including manslaughter, corporate manslaughter, misconduct in public office, and breaches of fire safety regulations, but will wait until the public inquiry ends before passing any evidence to prosecutors. for relatives of those who died, for survivors, many say they are still waiting forjustice. five years on. before i introduce someone who has been deeply affected they are cleaning this area because they will— they are cleaning this area because they will be many people here today. before _ they will be many people here today. before i_ they will be many people here today. before i introduce you to a gentleman who managed to escape from the tower all those years ago, i want to tell you a little about three of the people who died that
7:20 am
day. that is, after all, why we are here. marco gottardi and gloria trevisan were an italian couple in their twenties. they'd moved to london to find work as architects. gloria had finished her masters degree in architecture at the university of venice the year before. they lived on the top floor of grenfell tower, the 23rd floor. marco's dad said he had been on the phone to his son right up until the last minute. marco told his father the flat was full of smoke. gloria managed to call home too. her dad said the couple had wanted to go down to escape, but they could see flames going up the stairs and the smoke was more and more intense. isaac paulos lived with his mum and dad and three—year—old brother on the 18th floor of grenfell. he was five years old. trying to escape, somehow he got separated from his family. his body was found
7:21 am
on the 13th floor. he went to st francis of assisi catholic primary school not far from grenfell, and was described by his mum as a "beautiful boy". at the public inquiry his dad asked, "why were we kept inside for so long? if i had not listened to the fire brigade, my son would likely have been alive today." let's talk now to edward daffarn, who escaped from the 16th floor. thank you for talking to us. edward, tell us who you are thinking about today? tell us who you are thinking about toda ? ., ., �* ~' tell us who you are thinking about toda ? ., �* ~' ., today? today i'm thinking about the 72 lives that — today? today i'm thinking about the 72 lives that were _ today? today i'm thinking about the 72 lives that were lost _ today? today i'm thinking about the 72 lives that were lost in _ today? today i'm thinking about the 72 lives that were lost in the - 72 lives that were lost in the grenfell— 72 lives that were lost in the gre nfell tower 72 lives that were lost in the grenfell tower fire tragedy. friends and neighbours. 18 children lost their— and neighbours. 18 children lost their lives. and yeah, it is a time for reflection, time to think about the amazing community we had in the

7:30 am
through the block of flats in north kensington. those lost will be remembered at special service at westminster abbey. a multi—faith vigil will also take place near the tower. the impact of the tragedy continues to be felt by so many. a community arts group set up in the aftermath to support young people has now become a permanent. many say it is "a second family" to them and has allowed them to deal with what happened as well as develop new skills and gain qualifications. we have to kind of backtrack and look at where it all started. it feels unreal because, you know, out of tragedy came, you know, this amazing opportunity, this amazing space, amazing people. we'll have coverage of the anniversary throughout the day. bbc radio london will be broadcasting from north kensington between 10 and 2. and we will also have a special programme from there this evening at 6.30pm. heathrow�*s terminal a is set
7:31 am
to reopen to travellers today. it's been closed for over two years because of the pandemic. the reopening comes as heathrow announced passenger numbers continue to rise. over a million more people travelled through the airport in may, compared to march. bmw and mercedes drivers in surrey are being warned to keep their carfobs inside signal blocking bags after a rise in thefts. surrey police say thieves are using technology to extend and capture signals from inside people's homes, tricking cars into thinking fobs are close enough to unlock vehicles — it's allowed dozens of cars to be stolen. let's take a look at the tfl board this morning. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine. high pressure? it stays in charge not only
7:32 am
for today, but for the next few days as well. so plenty of fine and dry weather and also the temperature rising. now, we've still got a bit of patchy cloud today, but the temperature later on this afternoon reaching a maximum of 25 celsius. overnight, we're looking at some warm evening sunshine and then it stays clear and dry overnight itself. the wind remains light, as it does so today, and the minimum temperature somewhere between 8 and 12 celsius. it leads the way to a bright start on wednesday. now we can see high pressure still very much in charge, blocking these fronts coming in from the northwest to the uk. so it's another fine, dry and sunny day for wednesday. again, the wind is light, but the temperature just a little bit warmer. we're looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 27 celsius. it stays fine, dry overnight as well. and you can see on thursday, warm air coming up from the southwest. now, this is when the humidity really starts to increase, becoming uncomfortable at night times with temperatures staying in the high teens celsius. by friday, daytime temperatures in the low—305. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in an hour.
7:33 am
now though, it's back to sally and jon. bye for now. good morning. this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. yesterday, the prime minister published plans to give ministers the power to get rid of parts of the northern ireland protocol — the brexit deal he signed with the eu. let's take a look. at the moment, some goods are checked, as they arrive in northern ireland, to make sure they comply with eu rules. this is to allow them to go into the republic of ireland, which is in the european union without checks. but unionists in northern ireland say that arrangement causes a division between them and the rest of the uk. under borisjohnson's new plan there would be two routes for goods, depending on their final destination. goods that are destined only for northern ireland would be part of a so—called "green lane" with no checks needed.
7:34 am
but goods heading into the eu — via northern ireland and into the republic of ireland — would have to be checked and go through a so—called "red lane." let's speak now to the foreign secretary, liz truss. morning to you. first of all, obviously trying to explain this to people watching at home. i know it is a complicated issue. what exactly is a complicated issue. what exactly is the problem with the deal that has been agreed with the eu? the roblem has been agreed with the eu? tie: problem with the has been agreed with the eu? ti9: problem with the arrangement has been agreed with the eu? ti9 problem with the arrangement at the moment in the northern ireland protocol is that they are undermining the belfast good friday agreement and the balance between the communities in northern ireland. while we have seen north— south relationships and trade protected, because of the customs bureaucracy east— west we have seen fewer goods
7:35 am
coming to northern ireland and we have seen them at a higher cost and we have seen companies from great britain not trading. it is also the case that the people of northern ireland are not able to benefit from the same tax benefits as people in great britain. for example, at the spring statement, when the chancellor announced there would be a reduction in vat on solar panels, we were not able to pass on that reduction to people in northern ireland. there are real problems in northern ireland with people feeling more disconnected to the united kingdom. what we are doing through the northern ireland protocol bill is making east— west trade easier through the green channel and we are also restoring the tax will say they are now set by the uk government. why did nobody fly that these problems? people did flag up the issues but why did nobody spot these issues but why did nobody spot these issues when the agreement was made? over the past few years, these issues have emerged and they have
7:36 am
got worse. now they are affecting political stability in northern ireland. we haven't seen the executive of northern ireland established since february because of concerns from the unionist community. we are seeing more difficulty in terms of accessing goods of trade. it is important to note the protocol itself hasn't been fully implemented. at present we have a standstill with the eu, not till the czechs have been implemented. we have got to a situation now where we cannot allow the situation to drift any more. the people of northern ireland need a government, we need to sort out the trade issues and the tax issues. that is why the uk government is acting. that is why the uk government is actina. ~ : �* , that is why the uk government is actina. m �* , acting. michelle o'neill is saying very similar _ acting. michelle o'neill is saying very similar things _ acting. michelle o'neill is saying very similar things to _ acting. michelle o'neill is saying very similar things to you, - acting. michelle o'neill is saying very similar things to you, that l acting. michelle o'neill is saying i very similar things to you, that the government needs to be put in place and issues need to be sorted out. she says very clearly, it is your government's fault. the she says very clearly, it is your government's fault.— she says very clearly, it is your government's fault. the fact is we

7:44 am
weekend over thejubilee image of this country we saw last weekend over the jubilee weekend? how weekend over thejubilee weekend? how does it sit for you? we are in favour of a proper points—based immigration system, of people coming to this country with talent and skills to offer, of having proper legal roots. what we are not in favour of is the appalling activity of these people traffickers, risking people post that people's lives and telling lies. this is why we need to have a clear deterrent for illegal migration while at the same time having a clear points—based system to welcome those people to britain through legal roots. it is all about having a strong deterrent for illegal migration.— the time is coming up to quarter to eight on tuesday morning. thank you forjoining us. now for the sport.
7:45 am
a crucial day in the cricket. nothing predictable or boring. the new way england are playing with the changes they have brought in are working. it will be an absolute thriller. all results are still possible going into the final day of the second test between england and new zealand at trent bridge. it's going to be a thriller in front of a full house. free tickets have been given out. joe root pulled out all the tricks as england nearly caught new zealand's huge first innings score of 553. then england's all—time leading wicket takerjames anderson hit another milestone with his 650th test match dismissal. england need to take three early wickets this morning and then chase down new zealand's total if they're to win the three—match series 2—0. it is pretty finely balanced. i think, obviously when you are set such a big total, you're not really thinking about what is going on in the game,
7:46 am
you are just trying to make sure you get up somewhere near them. we managed to do that. quite a lot has happened in the afternoon session, so it's kind of left everyone in with a chance. quite a lot happened indeed! an understatement. england, wales, scotland all play later in the nations league, while australia became the latest team to qualify for the world cup. and no doubt who the star was — goalkeeper andrew redmayne, who was substituted on just for the spot kicks against peru. a technique made famous by liverpool goalkeeper bruce grobellar. and it worked, as he saved the crucial spotkick. and as you can imagine, some measured and impartial coverage from the australian reporters. yeah! we're through. we're through to the world cup! yeah!
7:47 am
i wonder if he has come down of cloud nine after that. you wonder how he will be well australia to do well the world cup. exactly like that! get a camera on that guy. you wonder how that would go down at wimbledon. it is just round the corner, 20—year—old british player jack draper produced the biggest win of his career. it came on the grass at queen's in london as he beat a top—20 player for the first time in the shape of taylor fritz. and with british number one cam norrie knocked out, andy murray pulling out, draper who isjust inside the world's top 100 could be one to watch this summer a5 harriet dart could be, after reaching the second round of the birmingham classic, after a breakthrough year, reaching her first wta quarter—final in nottingham last week. she says being happier off the court has led to improved performances. we know, don't we? andy murray with
7:48 am
those injuries. emma fragapane has had fitness problems. —— radacanu. a lovely life pitcher from portsmouth. glorious. john maguire has been reporting for us live from the naval dockyard. what kind of glad that they? you are looking at me, i am going straight to carol. they are fluffy clouds, john. that is a good description. they are fair weather clouds. a lot of us will see them today. a lot of us have thicker cloud around. it will turn hot and humid. mothers for the rest of the week. not in parts of scotland and northern ireland. it is as we come south we will have those conditions.
7:49 am
high pressure is in charge of the weather, so things are fairly quiet. there is a weather front across the north west producing some rain, not particularly heavy. also where we have the cloud. that is producing odd spots of drizzle in parts of northern england this morning. that is the exception rather than the rule. the weather cloud will build during the day and the latter part of the afternoon. it will melt away. some sunny intervals developing across parts of northern ireland and southern scotland during the day. generally speaking you're going to see more cloud. further south we are looking at 20 to 25. pollen levels today are high or very high across england and wales. tomorrow they will be high from central scotland southwards. it is worth bearing in mind. we are talking grass pollen
7:50 am
and nettle pollen as well. this evening and overnight clear skies across much of england and wales. there will be a cloud and rain moving north—east across scotland. not a cold night for most of us. in some rural areas, temperatures will be in single figures. a5 some rural areas, temperatures will be in single figures. as we head on into wednesday, high pressure still clinging on effectively keeping the weather front at bay across northern ireland and scotland. once again there will be more cloud around and splashes of rain at times. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. again fair weather cloud building through the course of the day, melting through the evening. temperatures getting up as high as 27 in the south, 15 in stornoway. after wednesday we start to import the hotter continental ad. on thursday, a lot of dry weather and
7:51 am
sunshine. the weather front in the north west producing cloud and rain for parts of scotland and northern ireland with the temperature is rising. you can see the high temperatures pushing further north. 15 in stornoway, 18 in edinburgh and 27 in london. into friday, we have a weather front draped across scotland and ireland introducing some rain. in england and wales it will be dry, also increasingly humid. thursday night will also be humid. we have highs up to 31, possibly 32 in the far south east. note how the heat has travelled further north. in edinburgh on friday we are looking at 24. so where we have that high cloud and rain we are looking at 15 degrees. eventually the weather front sink south on saturday. it
7:52 am
will also take some rain which will sweep away so the high temperatures and humidity are not going to last. thank you very much. we will see you soon. that kind of weather when you want to go to a festival. do a bit of crowd surfing? maybe. no better way to let your hair down. it's something that 67—year—old doug james quite literally threw himself into when he began crowd surfing during a killers' gig at the weekend. it didn't quite go to plan though, although there were plenty of reasons to look on the bright side. very good stop. take a look at this! # jealousy, turning saints into the sea. # swimming through sick lullabies. # choking on your alibis. # but it'sjust the price i pay. # destiny is calling me. # open up my eager eyes.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. leaves the uk today — but the number of migrants on board is down to single figures. senior bishops say the policy shames britain. a new case for scottish independence — nicola sturgeon's to launch a second referendum campaign today. her opponents say it's not the time for another divisive vote. on the fifth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire, a series of memorial events are taking place, to remember the 72 people who lost their lives the biggest pay drop in a decade. figures out this morning show that once inflation is factored in and bonuses are taken out, the average pay packet is falling fast. i'll have the details.
8:02 am
40 yea rs 40 years since the argentine surrender in the falkland islands, we are on board a landing craft that was used in the recapture of the falklands, and assess its legacy for decades on. he climbed a mountain in a wheelchair, and now he wants to move mountains for disabled people — martin hibbert will be with us, to reflect on his extraordinary achievement good morning. it is turning hotter and more humid as we go through the rest of the week for many of us. on friday we will see the peak of the heat, especially in the south east, with temperatures potentially beating 31 or 32 celsius. the last time we had authority in this country was last september. —— 30. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th ofjune. the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda under a new government scheme,
8:03 am
is due to take off later today. it follows an appeal court ruling yesterday. campaigners were trying to stop the flight before a full hearing next month, on whether the policy is lawful. however, just seven migrants are expected to be on the flight when it leaves — and some of them are still appealing their case, as vincent mcaviney reports. despite the government's publicity around its new policy, yesterday, 37 asylum seekers arrived on the kent coast. but they could face potential removal to rwanda, because they've travelled from france, a safe country. this is the boeing 767, chartered by the home office to take the first group of asylum seekers on a one way ticket to rwanda later today. the plane can carry around 200 on the 4,095 mile journey, but only eight asylum seekers will be aboard, three of whom are in court in the next few hours, arguing to be removed from the flight. home secretary priti patel has long argued the policy is in the public interest,
8:04 am
designed to deter unnecessary journeys from safe eu countries, and thwart the criminal gangs charging for dangerous channel crossings. shame on you! the policy is, though, dividing public opinion, evidenced by these scenes outside the courts ofjustice yesterday, and the home office. some agree it's an effective way to deal with illegal migration. but for others, it's an unsafe and unlawful way to treat vulnerable people, who are asking for sanctuary in the uk. the leaders of the church of england, including the archbishops of canterbury and york, have written an open letter decrying it as an "immoral policy that shames britain". this isn't about rwanda. we'd take exactly the same view if britain was seeking to outsource its care for refugees, for asylum seekers, to any other third country. this is about people who have the right — a right established since the 1951 convention — to seek asylum in the uk, and to have their asylum case processed and determined here.
8:05 am
the policy is also attracting international attention. at the united nations in geneva yesterday, it was described as catastrophic. this is all wrong. this is all wrong, this deal, for so many different reasons. but the man who used to be in charge of britain's borders believes something has to be done to stop the ever increasing numbers being exploited by traffickers. there's 80 million refugees around the world. according to unhcr, even more now, after ukrainians seeking resettlement in the western world. and i think there is an upper limit actually, to the number that any country can take. in the rwandan capsule, kigali, final preparations are under way at accommodation for those who do board this first flight. the uk government says the arrangement is a model the rest of the world could follow. but with further legal challenges in the coming weeks, there's a chance those relocated here might be given a return ticket to the united kingdom. vincent mcaviney, bbc news.
