it's particularly galling for the government, coming on the day more than 300 people arrived in dover, after attempting to cross the channel in small boats. the exact journey this policy is meant to deter. it's a real victory for humanity and decency. and the european court of human rights did what the british courts should have done, and said that people should not be sent to rwanda when there are serious issues. but britain's partner in this, the rwandan government, remains on board. we are undeterred. we are committed to this partnership, and we stand ready to welcome the migrants when they do arrive in rwanda. so what happened 7 the european court of human rights, which is separate to the european union, and to which the uk is a signatory, has the final say in human rights issues. it ruled asylum applicants would face a real risk

of irreversible harm in rwanda, contradicting a ruling byjudges in london, who had found no immediate risk to those being sent there. but home secretary priti patel has hit back. she said... the uk public is divided over the issue. and borisjohnson says his government may have to change the law to help with the policy. it's about establishing a principle, and establishing a route, to break the business model of the people traffickers who are causing untold misery and untold costs to the british economy. the plan has not yet got off

the ground, but is not dead. attention now turns to howjudges will rule when they examine the entire rwanda removals policy next month. mark lobel, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our reporter vincent mcaviney, who's at the boscombe down military air base this morning, where the flight was due to take off from. vincent, this really was a last minute decision. take us through what happened there? yeah, that's right. it is all quiet here _ yeah, that's right. it is all quiet here this — yeah, that's right. it is all quiet here this morning but it was a dramatic_ here this morning but it was a dramatic day yesterday. all through the afternoon police convoys brought the afternoon police convoys brought the eight _ the afternoon police convoys brought the eight asylum seekers here and parked _ the eight asylum seekers here and parked next to that specially chartered plane. in london, the legal— chartered plane. in london, the legal fights were still going on, but there was all the activity getting _ but there was all the activity getting ready for that flight. it was being refuelled, there was catering — was being refuelled, there was catering on board. the crew got on board _ catering on board. the crew got on board as _ catering on board. the crew got on board as well. as the legal battles continued. —

in the place they called paradise. paphos is where they retired to after his life down the pit. but all this ended whenjanice became seriously ill with cancer. she was struggling to eat. she was struggling to drink. she had chronic diarrhoea. so my dad was making nappies for her out of towels. she had frequent accidents. so my dad was carrying her into the shower and cleaning her up. my mum always took such pride in her appearance. and he said, you know, she hated that kind of loss of dignity, that... ..that just. .. she hated it. it destroyed her. you know, she'd be crying as he cleaned her, saying, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry." the couple lived here, after selling their old home to pay for medical insurance. but last year, just a week before christmas, david killed janice, and tried to take his own life.

how sure are you that those were your mum's wishes? 100% sure. i've talked to my dad. my dad has told me repeatedly about the conversations he had with my mum. there will be people who believe what your dad did was wrong, and that he needs to be punished. so what would you say to them? how would you explain it? life isn't black and white. life has many, many, many shades of grey. and yes, technically, i agree. he broke the law. and i understand why some people might believe that the best course of action is to punish him. but i don't believe that. because... ..i believe he was doing as my mum asked, and he's not a threat to society, he's not a risk to anyone else. he's not going to hurt anyone else. i don't thinkjustice is best served by him spending the rest of his life in prison. i know that if he gets

a life sentence, it will be a death sentence. in effect, he will die in prison. he wouldn't be around for long at all, because he's struggling in there — he's not well. or i think he'll take his own life. the grave, that neither david nor lesley are able to visit. little tributes left by locals in cyprus. i'm juggling the grief for my mum, which i can't even begin to look at in a way, because i think if i do that, then i'll crumble, and i can't do that at the moment. so my poor mum has kind of been put on the back burner. i do sometimes talk to her sometimes and say, "i'm really sorry, mum, "i will stop and think about you at some point." lesley calls this legal battle the fight of her life. what about you? how are you? i don't know. i don't really have time to think about me...

it can't be about me. it's not about me. it's about my dad. i'm really tired, um... ..and sad. what happens to david is in the hands of three judges. was this the ultimate act of kindness, or premeditated murder? fiona trott, bbc news, cyprus. as fiona said, that a trial due to start this week. 1? as fiona said, that a trial due to start this week.— start this week. 17 minutes past six. let's look— start this week. 17 minutes past six. let's look at _ start this week. 17 minutes past six. let's look at the _ start this week. 17 minutes past six. let's look at the papers. i most of the front pages feature the grounding of the first flight deporting asylum seekers to rwanda, following a last minute ruling by the european court of human rights. metro calls it the "rwandan air farce", saying that the migrants due to be transported to africa were waiting on the runway. the guardian suggests the plan was "plunged into chaos" as a result of the ruling, and calls it a "significant blow" for prime minister borisjohnson.

so, yes — wages are going up. but when you take inflation, or how much prices are rising, in to account, regular pay fell by more than 2% in the past year. bus drivers in yorkshire have had enough. they're on strike indefinitely. talks will take place today, and the stakes are high. i'v e i've got drivers who are working 40, 50 hours a week full time, still having to visit food banks and subsidise their families because the cost of living has gone through the roof, which i'm sure everybody knows and everybody feels it. you can't come to work and go to food banks. we should be paying people a proper rate of pay for their work. why would you drive a bus £10 an hour, when you can drive a lorry a £20 an hour, working tesco's and get the same rates of pay with less stress? why would you drive a bus? you might also be aware of the national strike on the railways next week.

network rail staff and workers from 13 of the 15 train operating companies will walk out in a row overjob losses and pay. we will find out more details later. but there's a warning just 20% of services will run. the strike coincides with a tube walk—out in london, and there'll be a big knock—on to freight. telecoms workers from bt are being asked today if they wish to strike, after unions rejected a pay offer. if up to 40,000 engineers from 0penreach, bt and ee decide to down tools, expect disruption to landline and broadband services. bin drivers are on strike in various parts of the country too. they could be joined later this summer by airport staff and civil service workers. some headlines are describing a summer of discontent, or another general strike, harking back to the 1920s. but one industrial relations expert say that is wide of the mark. there are some big ones, but the idea that — there are some big ones, but the idea that everyone is going on strike — idea that everyone is going on strike in— idea that everyone is going on strike in a _ idea that everyone is going on strike in a general strike, say, this—

public sector workers, where they say they cannot live on these wages any more, and employers cannot to pay more. you would like people to get in touch? , . , you would like people to get in touch? , ., , , ., touch? yes, really interesting to net touch? yes, really interesting to get peeple's _ touch? yes, really interesting to get people's experiences, - touch? yes, really interesting to get people's experiences, as - touch? yes, really interesting to get people's experiences, as to l get people's experiences, as to whether they have got a pay rise, how it has come about, and the conversation they're having with their employers at the moment. thank you. john will be looking back at the football _ thank you. john will be looking back at the football and _ thank you. john will be looking back at the football and cricket. - time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the grenfell tower fire represented a failure of every institution that should have kept its residents safe. the london fire brigade commissioner andy roe also said the brigade had completed almost all the recommendations from the grenfell inquiry, but that, over five years on, there are still 1,000 high—rises in the capital that are not safe enough to maintain

a "stay put" strategy. for the vast majority of buildings in london, "stay put" is still the right advice because of the way our regulations put that at the centre of building safety. of course, what grenfell has shown us is regulations can fail and i'm afraid quite a large proportion of those buildings are not as safe as we previously thought they were. plans for redesigning grosvener square in mayfair — close to where the american embassy used to be based — have been approved by westminster city council. it's the labour council's first planning proposal since they took control last month. the developers want to make the area more welcoming to visitors and turn it into a "biodiverse haven". dozens of cctv cameras could be placed outside schools in north london to stop parents driving near them during drop—off and pick—up times. brent council is considering installing them near 24 schools in the borough. according to a counci report,

travelling along way across the world to try to find asylum is no mean feat for anybody. waiting to see where you are going to end up when you have made your own choice to come to the united kingdom is a terrifying experience for anyone. in terrifying experience for anyone. in the end, i think they were due to be seven or eight the flight. it got down to seven or eight. do you know how he ended up being one of the seven? how was he selected to be sent to rwanda? it is seven? how was he selected to be sent to rwanda?— seven? how was he selected to be sent to rwanda? it is quite unclear what the criteria _ sent to rwanda? it is quite unclear what the criteria are _ sent to rwanda? it is quite unclear what the criteria are for _ sent to rwanda? it is quite unclear what the criteria are for making - sent to rwanda? it is quite unclear what the criteria are for making a l what the criteria are for making a choice. as you will have known and covering the story over the last few weeks, we started off with over 130 people, who were chosen, and gradually those numbers have been whittled down, not by ourselves but by the courts, looking into what the criteria are for having been chosen for the rwanda flight. it has been

decided time and again the criteria had not been appropriately met, despite the fact the high court, the court of appeal and the supreme court of appeal and the supreme court agreed it was appropriate for public policy to be in place. it is not clear what the criteria is. hagar not clear what the criteria is. how much clarity _ not clear what the criteria is. how much clarity is — not clear what the criteria is. how much clarity is there _ not clear what the criteria is. how much clarity is there and what happens now? priti patel said she is extremely disappointed and surprised and says she is determined to carry on and see the policy through and to see flight happening in the future. what do you expect? the european court of human _ what do you expect? the european court of human rights _ what do you expect? the european court of human rights has - court of human rights has recommended there are no other flight proposals put together until these substantial judicial flight proposals put together until these substantialjudicial review these substantial judicial review hearings these substantialjudicial review hearings into the whole policy is heard. we expect that to take place in about six weeks' time, during july, although we do not have a third date for it yet. if i were the

government, which obviously i am not, i would sit back and think is it worth it either from a financial or legal perspective to try to organise one of these very expensive flights again when they had been so unsuccessful this time round on legal grounds? there will be a decision injuly as to whether or not this policy can stand or whether there would need to be changes to there would need to be changes to the law if the government was absolutely determined to see it through. wait till we had the decision first and then decide if they will go ahead.— decision first and then decide if they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters. — they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters. a _ they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters, a lot _ they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters, a lot of _ they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters, a lot of backbench - they will go ahead. there are a lot of voters, a lot of backbench mps| of voters, a lot of backbench mps determined to see this through as well. they say they voted for a government promising to bring immigration under control, sending a message to people trafficking asylum seekers across the channel and wanted to see this through and think the uk now has a right to do this kind of thing. can you understand

the frustration the plane has not taken off in this policy did not happen? i taken off in this policy did not ha en? .., taken off in this policy did not hauen? , ., happen? i can understand the frustration _ happen? i can understand the frustration if _ happen? i can understand the frustration if i _ happen? i can understand the frustration if i were _ happen? i can understand the frustration if i were to - happen? i can understand the frustration if i were to put - happen? i can understand the . frustration if i were to put myself in their shoes. even they presumably would not wish to do something which is illegal. that is the process of going through the courts. it is looking at the law and determining whether or not what is happening is legal for the individuals or the government. i guess they will have to deal directly with other conservatives, with borisjohnson met with priti patel, in terms of whether or not they can do something thatis whether or not they can do something that is legal. they had patently legally been taken off that plane. an assessment will need to be made as to whether or not they can legally transport anybody else before there is a proper hearing in july about the policy itself.- july about the policy itself. thank ou so july about the policy itself. thank you so much- _ july about the policy itself. thank you so much. we _

gareth southgate and his side. chants of, "you don't know what you're doing" from some fans last night. and as austin halewood reports. 12 months ago, england's memorable journey to the final of the euros was underway. fast forward to now, and the fans are still behind them, but questions are starting to be asked. after three matches without a win, they needed a fast start against hungary. they didn't get it. the visitors ahead with their first attack. more questions for him to ponder. but his team barely answered any of them. they struggled to create any clear cut chances of their own, and eventually hungary made them pay. roland salloi with his second. now, this was as close as england got to their first goal from open play in four matches. harry kane so often the saviour. not this time. but still it will get worse. firstly, zsolt nagy with a rocket of a finish, and then finally daniel gazdag with their fourth. southgate's england embarrassed at home. and with just two more matches

before the world cup, he knows things need to change quickly. austin halewood, bbc news. plenty for gareth southgate to ponder. when does it lead him, having led his side to a world cup semi—final and euros final, if we're judged on the matches with our full strength players, then i think it's a different assessment. i've got to accept for the next period is going to be unpleasant and uncomfortable. but that's life as a football manager. you're never going to have six years like we've had and not have difficult nights. also preparing for the world cup, wales. a gareth bale penalty in injury time looked to have earned them a 2—2 draw with the netherlands. but then just a minute later, memphis depay scored to hand the hosts a 3—2 win. scotland ended their disappointing international break on a high, coming from from a goal down

to beat armenia 4—1, che adams with their fourth. a run of games which saw them miss out on world cup qualification. england captain ben stokes called it the greatest win of his career. the incredible run chase england produced in front of a full house at trent bridge yesterday sealing a series victory against new zealand as they won the match by five wickets. the star of the day, jonny bairstow, with a quick fire century that turned the game. andy swiss was there. it was as breathtaking as it was brilliant. england's new captain, ben stokes, sealing a victory which almost beggared belief. earlier, the fans had flocked to trent bridge. every age, every hairstyle, hoping for some heroics. but chasing 299 to win, those hopes seemed to be fading as new zealand took four early wickets. 0h, gone! he's chipped it straight back to trent boult. butjust when england needed something special, enterjonny bairstow with one of the most blistering displays you'll ever see.

he clobbered new zealand to all corners of nottingham, reaching his century in just 77 balls, the second fastest test hundred ever by an englishman. and at the other end, stokes was doing what stokes does. 0ne gravity—defying six, as he thrashed a half century. it was mayhem. that is an enormous six. by the time bairstow fell for a staggering 136, trent bridge rose as one, and england were on the brink. and moments later, stokes blazed his team to glory. victory, and with it the series. england's new era is off to some start. well, for the lucky fans that were here, it's been a day of quite exhilarating entertainment. rarely has english cricket seen a more remarkable victory. andy swiss, bbc news, trent bridge. was in itjust! what a day for those

watching! wasn't itjust? some impressive performances elsewhere on the grass. katie boulter at the birmingham classic with the biggest win of her career. she beat the second seed alison riske to reach the second round. boulter won in straight sets, to secure her first victory over a top—40 player. she'll play caroline garcia next. while british wildcard ryan peniston marked his main draw debut beating french open finalist casper ruud at queen's. the 26—year—old is ranked 175 places below the world numberfive but pulled off the biggest win of his career. and to round it off, he was also given a wilcard entry to wimbledon. perhaps more of the same to come in the coming weeks. we will also see serena williams, who'll be making her return to grand slam tennis. the 40—year—old american has not played since injuring herself in the first round last year, but has been handed a wildcard. she'll warm up by playing doubles at eastbourne alongside tunisia's 0ns jabeur in the week before appearing at wimbledon. that will be exciting. my goodness!

is that the week after next? she is a massive draw, isn't she? 23 grand slam singles titles. roger federer is not going to be there. to have such a star draw! you know the other big name who will be at wimbledon, r carroll. wimbledon is warming up, eastbourne is warming up. everything is warming up. good morning. iam good morning. i am at stjames's park in london. we have the ducks, geese, the sun, it is lovely. in front of me we had puppies, daisies, corn flowers. pollen levels are high, very high almost across the board. the exception is in the far north of scotland. if you have analogy to grass pollen and nettle

pollen as well then do bear that in mind before you set out. —— if you have an allergy. the forecast for the next few days is northern ireland and for scotland, we are looking at a fair bit of cloud and rain at times. there will be brighter spells as well. for england and wales it will be sunny and hot and wales it will be sunny and hot and humid. what is happening is high pressure is in charge of the weather in the south. we do have a weather front today in the north producing some rain. watch how the sequence runs! a lot of weather fronts heading our way bringing in rain and pressure conditions. a lot of sunshine for england and wales. an outside chance of a shower, wales, midlands, northern england. for northern ireland and scotland more clad with a bit of cloud and drizzle and light rain across the north and

west. temperatures 13 to 27 degrees north to south. this evening and overnight once again clear skies across england and wales. some shallow mist forming. and i northern ireland. again hanging on to the cloud with light rain and drizzle. it will not be a cold night. for england and wales it will be sunny, very warm and it will increasingly turn humid. for scotland and northern ireland we have some light rain in the morning in the north and west. that will turn heavier during the course of the day. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 27, 28, locally 29. looking at the mid—teens as we push into scotland and northern ireland. 0vernight and into friday we will see the clutch of france coming our way, bringing in rain across northern ireland and also scotland. it will be humid by night and also on friday. the south

we are looking at more sunshine once again. this is where we see the peak of the heat. across england and wales widely we are into their mid—20s. in the far south—east we are looking at 33, possibly more. for scotland and northern ireland, temperature —wise for the next couple of days, especially on friday, temperatures will be higher than average in the south and east of northern ireland, the south and east of scotland and in the north and west it will be about average. although france coming in are sinking south. the south hanging on to the higher temperatures but it will be gone by sunday. so beautiful where you are. i wish i was with you today. so nice. ifeel the same. shall we fight over it? i would love that. how is the hay fever? i am

worried about your hay fever? my noseis worried about your hay fever? my nose is running like a tap, i can tell you that. 0nly another two and a half hours to go. you will be fine. what was that? lessons outside on the grass. get mats out. ace any day till friday then it all changes back again. —— a sunny day. nearly 200,000 properties in england may have to be abandoned by 2050, due to rising sea levels, according to a report. scientists say water levels could rise by as much as a metre by the end of the century. 0ur climate and environment correspondent, jonah fisher, is in the village of happisburgh on the norfolk coast this morning. morning, jonah. good morning from beautiful happisburgh on the north norfolk coast. happisburgh is a village that is really on the front line of climate change and questions about

adaptation here in the uk. if you come through here, they used to be about 100 metres of road in direction but it has been eroded pretty dramatically by the sea over the last 20 years or so. sea levels are predicted to rise by about 30 centimetres by 2050, possibly as much as a metre by the end of the century. why does it make a difference to places like this? the simple fact is, you raise the sea level a little bit, the ways come here with much greater energy and hit the shore much harder and they erode the coast faster. that means places like happisburghh are going to have to grapple with issues about the changing coast and some of the sea cannot be changed. —— happisburgh.

you can actually see where my bungalow was. the sea has already made bryony homeless — once. nine years ago, the land under her house here in north norfolk crumbled into the water. a coastline that has always been shaped by the waves is now being consumed at an alarming rate. december last year, about middle of it, there was eight metres of road between here and the end there. i measured it yesterday and we're down to 3.4 metres. so you've lost four metres — just over four metres — since the start of the year, basically. since last december. december. the remains of the rocks and wood, which once tried to protect briony�*s old home, can still be seen. but there's no more money for sea defences in happisburgh. the sea — no—one will ever stop that. malcolm helped plan happisburgh's response to the eroding coast, and his project is now being seen as an example of how the rest of britain might adapt. nine homes that were about to fall

into the sea were bought by the government and demolished, and their owners helped to start again inland. as they drop off the front, you build them at the back. you move. you move the homes, you move the families. you move the families. so if you come back in 200 years' time, you're still see happisburgh. it'll be in a different guise, and it might be a kilometre over there, but it will still exist. 0ur sea levels are already rising. at the moment, it's just by a few millimetres every year. but the rate is increasing. what this all means for coastal communities like happisburgh is that there's going to be tough questions asked as to whether to hold the line or retreat inland. so when we increase our sea levels, we get much more energy arriving at the coast.

paul sayers has been researching the likely impact of sea level rises on small english coastal communities. he says it may not be possible to defend up to 200,000 homes and businesses by 2050. there's not going to be money probably under current funding rules, but also we're not sure if we would... it would be really difficult to do. 0ur coast would be quite different from what it looks like now. we would have very little intertidal zone, very little habitat, very... it would be a much more stark coastline if we were going to try and defend against it. itjust wouldn't be practical and wouldn't be affordable. it's not going to be a popular message for those at risk. you're still basically on the front line. iam. bryony has only moved up the road to a house that may be underwater within the decade. the decisions are taken by people in london. i think they have to think about the long term for how we are going to look

to the rest of the world if we just stand by and just let our country disappear. scientists say several hundred years of rising sea levels are now inevitable. difficult decisions lie ahead. what should we protect and what let go? jonah fisher, bbc news, happisburgh. iamjoined i am joined now by malcolm, from happisburgh, from the coastal concern action group. you can see the dutiful happisburgh light has just behind me. just give me a better of an idea, what has it meant for the community here to know that eventually a large part of this place is going to crumble into the sea? ., , , , , place is going to crumble into the sea? .,., ._ sea? happisburgh, along with many other places — sea? happisburgh, along with many other places around _ sea? happisburgh, along with many other places around the _ sea? happisburgh, along with many other places around the country, i other places around the country, peopte _ other places around the country, people have realised about climate change _ people have realised about climate change for a long time. liberty, there _ change for a long time. liberty, there has— change for a long time. liberty, there has never been any, this

minutes. good morning this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the grenfell tower fire represented a failure of every institution that should have kept its residents safe. the london fire brigade commissioner, andy roe, also said the brigade had completed almost all the recommendations from the grenfell inquiry, but that — over five years on — there are still a thousand high—rises in the capital that are not safe enough to maintain a "stay put" strategy. for the vast majority of buildings in london, "stay put" is still the right advice because of the way our regulations put that at the centre of building safety. of course, what grenfell has shown us is regulations can fail and i'm afraid quite a large proportion of those buildings are not as safe as we previously thought they were. plans for redesigning grosvenor square in mayfair —

close to where the american embassy used to be based — have been approved by westminster city council. it's the labour council's first planning proposal since they took control last month. the developers want to make the area more welcoming to visitors and turn it into a "bio diverse haven". dozens of cctv cameras could be placed outside schools in north london, to stop parents driving near them during drop—off and pick—up times. brent council is considering installing them near 24 schools in the borough. according to a council report, some staff at schools have been subject to verbal abuse from drivers who do not support these schemes. the first cameras are expected in september this year. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a part suspension on the bakerloo line, and minor delays on the overground. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today as high pressure remains in charge.

uv levels of course are high and the pollen count remains very high today as well. not a lot of cloud around. you might run into a little bit of fairweather cloud later but it will be high. temperatures warm, if not hot, at 27 celsius. 0vernight it stays dry and it stays clear. the wind is light and we will just start to notice the humidity increasing. minimum temperature between 10 and 14 celsius. for thursday, the hot and humid air starts to move up from spain. that will bring us some sticky and rather uncomfortable conditions. it is going to be a hot day tomorrow. again, a lot of sunshine around for thursday. the maximum temperature just sneaking up a degree or two to 28 celsius. 0ur peak in temperatures comes on friday. 32, potentially 33. you will notice this pool of cooler airjust starts to sink south. looks like we will hang on to the warm, dry conditions for much of saturday but this cold front is going to move south. a bit of a question mark on timing.

looks like some thundery downpours as we head overnight saturday at the moment and through sunday, bringing some fresher air. i'm back with you london news at 7.30. head to our website for everything else you need to know. now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. a major blow for the government's plan to deport some migrants to rwanda — the first flight was grounded late last night, after a series

of legal challenges. that flight should have departed this military base at half past ten last night, — this military base at half past ten last night, but a last—minute intervention from the european court of human _ intervention from the european court of human rights stopped dead. the government says despite the obstacles, they are undeterred. the survivors of mariupol — ukrainian families who managed to escape the city, describe their time living under the russian onslaught as hell on earth. the public sector workers struggling with the cost of living. nhs staff tell us they feel at breaking point, as they await a review into their pay. and as inflation soars ahead of wages, i'll be looking at the issues facing employers and employees. a contrasting day of fortunes for english sport — humiliation for the footballers in the nations league against hungary, but celebrations for the cricketers as brilliant bairstow helps beat new zealand at trent bridge. good morning. iamat iam at st i am at stjames' park in london. it is stunning. the weather for england and wales today is sunny and very

warm. for northern ireland and scotland, cloudy with light rain in the north and west, pollen levels are high or very high almost across the board. details later in the programme. good morning. it's wednesday, the 15th ofjune. our main story. the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda was cancelled minutes before take—off last night, after successful legal challenges. the home secretary priti patel said she was disappointed, but insisted the government will not be deterred — and will now begin preparation for the next flight. mark lobel reports. going nowhere. borisjohnson's rwanda plan to cut immigration, grounded for now. this flight was originally meant to take over 100 asylum seekers to rwanda, then just a handful, and finally, none, following a series of legal challenges.

the charter plane has now returned to its base in spain. it's particularly galling for the government, coming on the day more than 300 people arrived in dover, after attempting to cross the channel in small boats. the exact journey this policy is meant to deter. leaving one post my comment travelling across the world to try to find asylum is no mean feat for anybody. and waiting to see exactly where you are going to end up when you have made your own choice to come to the united kingdom, is a terrifying experience for anyone. but britain's partner in this, the rwandan government, remains on board. we are undeterred. we are committed to this partnership, and we stand ready to welcome the migrants when they do arrive in rwanda. so what happened ? the european court of human rights, which is separate to the european union, and to which the uk is a signatory,

has the final say in human rights issues. it ruled asylum applicants would face a real risk of irreversible harm in rwanda, contradicting a ruling byjudges in london, who had found no immediate risk to those being sent there. but home secretary priti patel has hit back. she said... the uk public is divided over the issue. and borisjohnson says his government may have to change the law to help with the policy. it's about establishing a principle,

people having to choose whether or not they maintain the job that they've got at the minute, or they retire. being able to afford to come to do thatjob shouldn't factor into it. the main reason that most of us go to work is to be paid. it's to put food onto the table. it's an insult that we're not being paid as we should be. who's looking after our. mums and dads and kids? who's taking care of our people? it's nurses, but you can't do that when you're running on empty. i you've got to take care of the nursing family, i or we can't take care of anyone. nhs workers like nurse carmel are wondering what the next few months will bring. the government is poised to announce a pay deal for health care workers in england. but rising prices mean carmel is already struggling to make ends meet. there'sjust not enough money. at the end of the month, kind of, you end up being quite savvy, and we've led to kind - of shop very well — _ thank goodness for ebay and, you know, smart price kind of stuff.

i but i have to be really careful, . and have to kind of budget really heavily so that we can afford anything, and anything elsel on top is a bit scary. so there's kind of nothing really to fall back on at the moment. i there's no kind of pot of gold i sitting in the garden somewhere. we have to be really, really careful. - there is an emotional price that we pay for going to work every day. jill, a physiotherapist who works in the north east of england, is also already having to make decisions based on what is now affordable, and what's a luxury. 0ur electric bill has gone up 85% in the last month, and i'm waiting for the next hike in november. and i know that we will have to make some real serious choices. fuel, energy and food bills have all gone up. butjill says for years now, rates of pay have not kept pace. i feel like you kind of survive. and, you know, over the last few years we haven't had an adequate pay rise. but you just make small changes to try and manage your budget a little bit better. and then all of a sudden, you get to a crisis point, which is where we're at now.

i mean, i looked at what my energy bill is going to be like for the next month, and i had to make a decision about whether or not we stop having baths in my house, to be able to afford that. and we only use the shower, because it's so expensive. you know, i'm not able to deliver my job from working from home, but those people who've been forced to work from home from a covid point of view, their cost of living is going to be astronomical. there is growing anger among health care workers that, after two tough years of battling the pandemic, and now working in an nhs that's busier than ever, they're looking at a pay settlement which is likely to be well below the rate of inflation. the government says they have taken steps to help people with the cost of living crisis, including cutting fuel duty and raising the threshold at which people start to pay national insurance. but many nhs staff like murray, who works in the ambulance service, feel that a burnt out workforce is not getting the recognition it deserves. the morale in the ambulance service is the worst i've

experienced in my career. sometimes i feel that, oh, the morale can't get any worse. and yet again, another decision is made thatjust lowers morale once again. i think that during the pandemic, staff ran on goodwill and that we rallied together to provide a service during the coronavirus pandemic. and now that we're coming the other side of this, the goodwill has run out and we know that staff are leaving in droves from the nhs, and taking with them a brilliant skill set and experience away from patients that would benefit from it. you did say there was a space. it seems likely the government's decision on pay will disappoint the majority of nhs workers. the big question is what that will mean for morale, and for an nhs that is already struggling to recruit... we are running on escalation numbers every day. ..and retain vital staff.

but there are certainly signs that some people who voted conservative for the first time, are now having second thoughts. i was one of those people that, for the first time, possibly a protest vote, voted conservative, and obviously feel let down from that. why? for me, this isn't about borisjohnson. this is about local leadership, and making things happen positively for wakefield and its people. but for others, the by election is all about borisjohnson and his behaviour. i think to stand there and pontificate about what you should be doing, and then in your own backyard you're doing what you like, i think it's immoral. are you usually a labour voter? not always, no. keir starmer was on his second visit to wakefield this week, and his campaigners say they aren't just trying to win back lost

support, they're trying to gain new voters too. a week on thursday. are we going to do it? yeah. now, john isn't exactly new, but he tells me he's changing the political habits of a lifetime, because of the current prime minister. he's the sort of the centrepiece of everything that has deteriorated. i mean, i was a great believer, and still am, for that matter, margaret thatcher. that's not to say he's exactly gung ho about the opposition leader. keir starmer, i don't think he's powerful enough. i think he's a gentleman. i hope he gets better. party leaders aside, voters are telling us they're concerned, unsurprisingly, about the cost of living, about local bus services, and about a national rail strike. but at this by election, there are other issues at play. the previous conservative mp, imran ahmed khan, is in prison for sexually assaulting a 15—year—old. and this is coming

up on the doorstep. the most recent scandal, obviously the first time that the conservative party have been in for a while, and for that to happen for the first time, it's certainly had a big impact. butjust down the street, some voters accused labour of focusing far too much on this issue. carol was upset that this leaflet contained an attack, but no policies. why aren't they coming and putting a case forward to me? _ it'd be interesting to see mr starmer justify that. you see, i can't- justify it, i'm sorry. labour insist they're fighting a positive campaign. the conservatives say that more than 70 of their mps have hit the doorsteps in wakefield. and the party insists that in this brexit—supporting seat, recent polls suggesting a substantial lead for labour are overstating the situation on the ground. while many voices have mentioned partygate to me unprompted, not all were critical of boris johnson.

amongst a plethora of grey personalities, he's got some personality. may not always get it right, but at least he seems to try. he's made mistakes. but, to be honest, i don't care if he had a piece of cake at his party. i don't care if keir starmer had a beer at the end of his day in the north—east. i don't care. safe for labour for more than 80 years, wakefield was snatched by the conservatives in 2019, and it's now fiercely contested political territory. iain is in wakefield this morning. a real mix of views there? yes, there is a _ a real mix of views there? yes, there is a mix _ a real mix of views there? yes, there is a mix of _ a real mix of views there? yes, there is a mix of views. - a real mix of views there? yes, there is a mix of views. the i there is a mix of views. the conservatives snatched this seat in 2019~ _ conservatives snatched this seat in 2019~ to _ conservatives snatched this seat in 2019. to find out more about this seat i _ 2019. to find out more about this seat i am — 2019. to find out more about this seat i am joined by victoria

in the capital that are not safe enough to maintain a "stay put" strategy. for the vast majority of buildings in london, "stay put" is still the right advice because of the way our regulations put that at the centre of building safety. of course, what grenfell has shown us is regulations can fail and i'm afraid quite a large proportion of those buildings are not as safe as we previously thought they were. three out of four aviation staff have been physically or verbally abused at work. that's according to a new study by the gmb union, which found many of the employees worked as check—in—staff, baggage handlers, cabin crew and security workers. the union also says staff shortages were making theirjobs, and people's holidays "impossible". plans for redesigning grosvener square in mayfair — close to where the american embassy used to be based —

have been approved by westminster city council. it's the labour council's first planning proposal since they took control last month. the developers want to make the area more welcoming to visitors and turn it into a "biodiverse haven." well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a part suspension on the bakerloo line and minor delays on the overground. on to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today as high pressure remains in charge. uv levels of course are high and the pollen count remains very high today as well. not a lot of cloud around. you might run into a little bit of fairweather cloud later but it will be high. temperatures warm, if not hot, at 27 celsius. overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the wind is light and we willjust start to notice the humidity increasing. minimum temperature between 10 and 14 celsius. for thursday, the hot and humid air starts to move up from spain.

that will bring us some sticky and rather uncomfortable conditions. it is going to be a hot day tomorrow. again, a lot of sunshine around for thursday. the maximum temperature just sneaking up a degree or two to 28 celsius. our peak in temperatures comes on friday. 32, potentially 33. you will notice this pool of cooler airjust starts to sink south. looks like we will hang on to the warm, dry conditions for much of saturday but this cold front is going to move south. a bit of a question mark on timing. looks like some thundery downpours as we head overnight saturday at the moment and through sunday, bringing some fresher air. i'm back with your london news at 8:30am. head to our website for everything else you need to know. until then, have a lovely morning in the sunshine! bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. as we've been hearing this morning, the first flight taking asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda was cancelled late last night, after a last—minute legal battle. let's speak now to the work and pensions secretary, therese coffey. good morning to you. this time yesterday the foreign secretary liz truss sat in the seat you are sitting now and told sally she was totally confident that plane would be taking off last night. how embarrassing is it for the government that it did not, it was grounded? the government that it did not, it was rounded? , ., , grounded? the government is sur - rised grounded? the government is surprised and _ grounded? the government is surprised and disappointed i grounded? the government is surprised and disappointed at| grounded? the government is i surprised and disappointed at the ruling made last night. that is the quickest time i have known that particular case to be considered. it had been three british courts and people will be surprised to know european judges are overturning the decisions from britishjudges. we

still need to go through the ruling and decide the next legal steps and prepare the next flight. the and decide the next legal steps and prepare the next flight.— prepare the next flight. the next fliiht, prepare the next flight. the next flight. when _ prepare the next flight. the next flight, when will _ prepare the next flight. the next flight, when will that _ prepare the next flight. the next flight, when will that be? - prepare the next flight. the next flight, when will that be? i i prepare the next flight. the next flight, when will that be? i am i prepare the next flight. the next i flight, when will that be? i am not iioin to flight, when will that be? i am not going to get _ flight, when will that be? i am not going to get into _ flight, when will that be? i am not going to get into home _ flight, when will that be? i am not going to get into home office i going to get into home office matters in that regard. it has already been three british courts and we will need to work through the next steps, which the home office will already be working on. bare next steps, which the home office will already be working on.- will already be working on. are we talkini will already be working on. are we talking days. _ will already be working on. are we talking days, weeks, _ will already be working on. are we talking days, weeks, months? it i will already be working on. are we| talking days, weeks, months? it is will already be working on. are we i talking days, weeks, months? it is a case of getting _ talking days, weeks, months? it is a case of getting the _ talking days, weeks, months? it is a case of getting the next _ talking days, weeks, months? it is a case of getting the next flight - case of getting the next flight prepared. we spend millions of pounds a day on a broken asylum system. this particular element of trying to have that partnership with rwanda is important in making sure people can get asylum in a safe, legal way as opposed to an unsafe, illegal way. the only people to benefit from this other traffickers who, as they push the vote sank, do not pair of people live die. that is not pair of people live die. that is not appropriate and why we want to

have safe legal roots for people to come into the country. this have safe legal roots for people to come into the country.— come into the country. this policy sendini come into the country. this policy sending asylum — come into the country. this policy sending asylum seekers - come into the country. this policy sending asylum seekers to - come into the country. this policy. sending asylum seekers to rwanda come into the country. this policy i sending asylum seekers to rwanda was supposed to deter the traffickers, supposed to deter the traffickers, supposed to deter people from coming in votes. people in plan a are not going to be deterred now they have seen this plane supposed to be going to rwanda has not gone. thea;r seen this plane supposed to be going to rwanda has not gone. they should be aware that — to rwanda has not gone. they should be aware that the _ to rwanda has not gone. they should be aware that the home _ to rwanda has not gone. they should be aware that the home office i to rwanda has not gone. they should be aware that the home office is i be aware that the home office is already preparing for the next flight. they are being pushed into an illegal route. nevertheless, we want to make sure the market we are a country with a good track record of offering refuge and asylum but this is important, as i say, we make sure there are safe, legal roots for people to claim asylum and not unsafe illegal ones. the people to claim asylum and not

unsafe illegal ones.— unsafe illegal ones. the prime minister was _ unsafe illegal ones. the prime minister was suggesting i unsafe illegal ones. the prime| minister was suggesting maybe unsafe illegal ones. the prime i minister was suggesting maybe it unsafe illegal ones. the prime - minister was suggesting maybe it was time to change the rules even before this decision, changing the way we belong to the european court of human right. is we should look at? the ruling was made at pace last night. britishjudges already the ruling was made at pace last night. british judges already act within the framework of the convention on human rights. we will continue our preparations. we haven't needed to change british law to undertake this partnership with rwanda and britishjudges have upheld the approach we have taken. we will look at all the matters carefully. i continue to say we are disappointed with that ruling. we need to make sure we have safe legal roots for people to have asylum in this country and i think we had a good track record of offering that. personally, would you like to see us change the way in which we engage

with the european court of human rights? with the european court of human ri hts? ., ., , ., rights? there are a number of rulinus rights? there are a number of rulings over — rights? there are a number of rulings over the _ rights? there are a number of rulings over the years - rights? there are a number of rulings over the years where l rights? there are a number of- rulings over the years where there has been back and forth between our country and the echr. i am not going to be the expert in terms of exactly the next legal steps in regards to this particular ruling. i know our lawyers in the home office are already working on the next steps and that is what we will take. we want to deter routes into this country and it is important we get the front that. in other elements, there are aspects we want to make sure we have that partnership is a good way to try to make sure people can find a place of safety to have asylum and there is a government meeting next week in rwanda. it is an act of democracy and part of a good relationship we had established. fin good relationship we had established.— good relationship we had established. , ., .,

the new payments and give us details on that. with that in mind, the cost of living crisis in people's mines, you spent up to half £1 million chartering a plane last night which did not do what it was but today, £500,000 potentially down the drain, it be challenged again and again and again. people could look at government finances and wonder if it is a good use of money, let alone political time. we is a good use of money, let alone political time.— is a good use of money, let alone political time. we spend millions of -ounds political time. we spend millions of ounds a political time. we spend millions of pounds a day _ political time. we spend millions of pounds a day on — political time. we spend millions of pounds a day on a _ political time. we spend millions of pounds a day on a broken _ political time. we spend millions of pounds a day on a broken asylum . pounds a day on a broken asylum system, which is why we take decisive action to try to deter people from taking unsafe, illegal routes into this country. the government is focusing on people's priorities, stepping up to support families with the cost of living challenge. today we are encouraging pensioners who may be eligible for pensioners who may be eligible for pension credit to apply for that benefit as well. they can get a 1200

pan payment, which 8 million households can get over the course of the year. —— a £1200 payment. this is not new money you are announcing, it is the way in which the money is given out. what did people know how they could get that? last month the chancellor announced this extra package. overall we will be spending £37 billion to help families through this challenging time. people will be aware of the £400 on energy bills they can get. these are people on low incomes, whether receiving a payment of £650, half of which they will get next month and half later in the year. people with disabilities will be getting support with £150 and pensioners will be getting £300

alongside the winter feel payment. we are helping in different ways, especially when we worked out any energy cap would continue to rise, once ofgem told us. i think it is a substantial amount of money, an extra £15 billion in order to help people, frankly, he did not have the influence is necessary to change global inflation. a lot of this is down to putin's invasion of ukraine but also the after—shocks of coronavirus. there is an element here on stepping up, just like we did through coronavirus with helping families, it is about putting payment into the pockets. aha, families, it is about putting payment into the pockets. a lot of mone to payment into the pockets. a lot of money to get _ payment into the pockets. a lot of money to get into. _ payment into the pockets. a lot of money to get into. the _ payment into the pockets. a lot of money to get into. the £37 - payment into the pockets. a lot of| money to get into. the £37 million does not include the tax increases you are taking with one hand and getting away with the other. the payments you are giving to some people, would it not be better to

adjust the benefit system? so people know it is not a one off payment and it could be received into the future. would it not be a fairer, simpler, more effective way to help people in the longer term? we simpler, more effective way to help people in the longer term?- people in the longer term? we did raise benefits. _ people in the longer term? we did raise benefits. we _ people in the longer term? we did raise benefits. we reduce - people in the longer term? we did raise benefits. we reduce the - people in the longer term? we did i raise benefits. we reduce the amount of money held back when people increase earnings through universal credits, something called the taper rate. we will see 70% of working families next month had £350 this to the payment packet when we left the national insurance threshold. we have been helping people in a number of ways. have been helping people in a number of wa s. �* ., have been helping people in a number ofwa s. �* ., i” have been helping people in a number ofwa s. �* ., ., have been helping people in a number ofwa s. �* r, . of ways. before you did that you took away _ of ways. before you did that you took away the — of ways. before you did that you took away the uplift. _ of ways. before you did that you took away the uplift. it - of ways. before you did that you took away the uplift. it is - of ways. before you did that you took away the uplift. it is the i of ways. before you did that you | took away the uplift. it is the one hand, the other hand sort of thing. credit the left was lifted sometime ago. it was recognising some of the initial, as people tell with coronavirus, new to the benefits system, it was a way of cushioning

the impact for those most likely to be affected. the one—off payment we are doing recognises the particular situation we are in right now which are forces beyond a lot of families control in the cost of living challenge we now face. 8 million households will be held in an extra way and every household will have received or will be receiving a £400 towards energy costs. people have already had a £150 council tax rebate. i think four in five households get up to band d. we have already been helping. important to make sure in recognising the challenges people face, help them in this moment of need.— this moment of need. thank you for 'oinin: us this moment of need. thank you for joining us this _ this moment of need. thank you for joining us this morning. _ this moment of need. thank you for joining us this morning. we - this moment of need. thank you for joining us this morning. we will i this moment of need. thank you for joining us this morning. we will be l joining us this morning. we will be asking viewers how much help it feels like how far actually goes. john is herewith the sport. what a contrasting day! the brilliance of

jonny bairstow. a celebration for him. england beating new zealand in taking the series. humiliation for england and gareth southgate. does it matter? depends which way you look at it. it always matters when you lose so heavily against a team, like hungary, which they did last night. questions will be asked of gareth southgate despite his recent success. the biggest home defeat in 40 years. having experimented with his team selection, it failed to produce a whim. is it a blip or are alarm bells ringing five months out from the world cup? if we're judged on the matches with our full strength players, then i think it's a different assessment. i've got to accept for the next period is going to be unpleasant and uncomfortable. but that's life as a football manager. you're never going

to have six years like we've had and not have difficult nights. let's talk to chief football writer at the times, henry winter. balance from southgate, not all fans feel the same. how had was it last night? it was very bad. it has been a long and enjoyable honeymoon for guys southgate with the england fans and the england team. you look at the semifinal in the world cup and the final of the european championships last year. in a way, this is the first real argument. i do not think there are any signs of separation. to continue that theme, the fa is very supportive and the players are very supportive and the players are very supportive. the frustration of fans. they look at the quality of these players, the fantastic players coming through. slightly more established players like rice as

well. then the more senior players like harry kane and raheem sterling. there are players who won trophies, the champions league, harry kane is about to beat the goal—scoring record. about to beat the goal-scoring record. ~ , ., i” ~' about to beat the goal-scoring record. ~ , ., ~' . , record. why do you think the fans are so quick _ record. why do you think the fans are so quick to — record. why do you think the fans are so quick to turn _ record. why do you think the fans are so quick to turn when - record. why do you think the fans are so quick to turn when you i are so quick to turn when you consider the recent successes that england have had? albeit not ending until silverware but reaching the semifinal of the world cup and the final of the euros. it semifinal of the world cup and the final of the euros.— final of the euros. it might be because some _ final of the euros. it might be because some were _ final of the euros. it might be because some were watching | final of the euros. it might be. because some were watching a final of the euros. it might be - because some were watching a cricket area and they still england on the front foot. is what they want from the england football team. with all this creative talent, people like jack grealish on the bench. a player like alexander arnold is a world—class player. we have seen it on the european stage with liverpool. a player like that has to be accommodated somehow. even with

one or two defensive flaws, he is such a talent. there are those questions. maybe it is a societal thing with people coming out of lockdown, people quick to question. social media is a wild west on occasions like this. there is frustration there is a gap between these players who have a trophy and these players who have a trophy and the man whether southgate has that ability to change a game and we at which he did not do in the semifinal four years ago and the final against italy last year. tiara four years ago and the final against italy last year-— italy last year. two games to go before the _ italy last year. two games to go before the start _ italy last year. two games to go before the start of _ italy last year. two games to go before the start of the - italy last year. two games to go before the start of the world i italy last year. two games to go | before the start of the world cup italy last year. two games to go i before the start of the world cup in qatar. harry kane was asked about the future of gareth southgate and he said it was disappointing to be asked that question. is it a fair question?— asked that question. is it a fair ruestion? ~ ~ . ., question? well, i think an england manauer question? well, i think an england manager gets _ question? well, i think an england manager gets asked _ question? well, i think an england manager gets asked about - question? well, i think an england manager gets asked about his i question? well, i think an england l manager gets asked about his future evenin manager gets asked about his future even in his first game. it is the nature of thejob. even in his first game. it is the nature of the job. we have 55 million people in this country who think they can pick the england team. he will be in saint georges

park, looking at how to improve this, gareth southgate. he cares about the country and his relationship with the fans which he had rebuilt after a decade of decay under previous managers. he will be working hard. it is the tactical tweaks in games, he has to know how to react and harvest this fantastic talent that england has.— to react and harvest this fantastic talent that england has. the wales manager rob page says there are too many positives to be down about their defeat against the netherlands in the nations league. wales are also preparing for the world cup, and a gareth bale penalty in injury time looked to have earned them a 2—2 draw. but then just a minute later, memphis depay scored to hand the hosts a 3—2 win. scotland ended their disappointing international break on a high, coming from from a goal down to beat armenia 4—1, che adams with their fourth, a run of games which saw them miss

out on world cup qualification. what about that jonny what about thatjonny bairstow brilliance as england beat new zealand in the second test at trent bridge yesterday. they won the three—match series with a game to spare. after bowling out the tourists, they were set a total of 299 to win on the last day. joe root went cheaply but man of the matchjonny bairstow hit a second fastest—ever test century by an england player. who else to hit the winning runs but new captain ben stokes? he called this his greatest ever men. that blows headingley, lords, the world cup final, emotionally, the enjoyment i got every minute on the field was incredible. that says something when you think about the silverware, his performance in the world cup, his

heroic. for him to say being out there experiencing that yesterday watching jonny bairstow did suggest the significance of the moment and how special the performance was. they seemed genuinely surprised among themselves. they went for the win, they were not afraid. he said it was thejonny bairstow win, they were not afraid. he said it was the jonny bairstow eyes that did it. when he has the eyes on you know he means business. too right! thank you so much. a beautiful start to the day for most of us. the weather in a moment. it will get really hot towards the end of the week. listen to this. with spain currently experiencing its second unusually early heatwave — france is now preparing for similar conditions. the extreme weather has come from north africa and is expected to last until at least saturday. yesterday, temperatures surpassed 40 degrees celsius in parts of spain — that's more than 104 in fahrenheit.

and france is likely to see similar highs over the next couple of days. the soaring temperatures mean many areas of spain are on high alert due to the risk of wildfires. people living there have been telling us how they're finding the heat. the heat situation in madrid, spain, is right now really bad. we are at 8:30 pm. and it's not only the sun still strong, but we are at 36 degrees. translation: to me, j this goes beyond heat. the heat is really, really strong. and sometimes we struggle to breathe. and it's 37 degrees - at 8 o'clock in the evening. as you can see, i'm at a football tournament, and after every 20 i minutes, they have a break for water. i but they keep on playing another 20 minutes. i the heat is unbearable. i have no air conditioning in my. flat, and i'm currently struggling.

forecast for the next few days in scotland and northern ireland is cloudy with rain at times, some bright spells. for england and wales we are looking at some sunshine, it will be humid as well. eventually we will be humid as well. eventually we will see the temperatures lower probably in the far south of england after saturday. today we have an area of high pressure in the south, area of high pressure in the south, a weather front in the north. watch how the sequence runs! by friday it will bring in lots of fronts, including a cold front to bring in rain and pressure conditions. for england and wales a lot of sunshine. in the afternoon you might catch the shower in wales, the midlands and the north of england but that would be it. in northern ireland and scotland, more cloud and rain in the north and west. temperatures 13 in the north and 27 in the south—east. overnight there will still be a fair bit of cloud across scotland and northern ireland with drizzle. clear skies in england and wales means we

will see some shallow mist patches develop that they will disappear during the morning. tomorrow another day of sunshine and warmth for england and wales can increasingly turning humid. scotland and northern ireland will hang on and the rain turning heavy in the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow 14 in the north to 28 as we push down towards the south. into friday this is when we have the low pressure with its fronts, and the cold front coming in the far north of the country. bringing in some rain across scotland and also northern ireland and it will be pushing slowly south. it will be a muggy night thursday into friday. on friday the rain across scotland and northern ireland by the end of the afternoon might just fringe into northern england. for the rest of england and wales it will be hot and humid. widely the temperatures will be into their

mid—205 to the high 205 in england and wales until about 33 down in the south—east. worth mentioning for southern and eastern parts of scotland and northern ireland, they will have temperatures above average for the time of year. not as high as across england and wales. the whole lot will freshen up as the weather front players and they will hang onto the milder conditions for a time. ., ~' ,, onto the milder conditions for a time. . ~ i. ., ., ., time. thank you for the detail. not as straightforward _ time. thank you for the detail. not as straightforward as _ time. thank you for the detail. not as straightforward as we _ time. thank you for the detail. not as straightforward as we thought. l as straightforward as we thought. slightly more complicated. thank you. we do not need the maps and the data, just the sunglasses on the head! that houses all we to know. —— that tells us. if you wanted to make the dreams of an eight—year—old ghostbusters superfan come true, who are you going to call?

we obviously all know the answer — but let's take a look. ghostly goings on reported at leeds central library. and it's got everyone spooked. who you going to call? ghostbuster theme. george from harcourt. —— harrogate. that's who. george, who has a life—limiting heart condition became a ghostbusterfor the day, thanks to the make—a—wish foundation. we're going to be busting. # something strange in your neighbourhood. # who you gonna call? # ghostbusters!# on the trail of a troublemaking ghoul, with the help of the east midlands ghostbusters. # who you gonna call?# with all the props, camera crews and special effects, this movie superfan was the star on his very own film set. so we've been trying to find, like, this old library ghost. and how did we get here? the way i got here was in the ecto—1! how did that feel to be riding in that? amazing. amazing again.

just everything has "amazing" written all over it. things that people have done and donated hasjust been beyond our wildest dreams as parents and a family, and creating a day that not only george will remember forever, but we will as well. george led the way. he did an awesome job. he he helped trapper. he operated the trap. and had the proton wand out and yeah, he was amazing. so we couldn't have done it without him. he was integral to our success today. george was born with only half of his heart working. he's had open—heart surgery three times and ten days in hospital. things are ongoing and they will be forever. so we just take every day as it comes, and it's moments like this that just make everything kind of worthwhile. because actually, for any family with a child with any type of disability or any hidden condition or anything like that, itjust means that you make the most of everything and enjoy it. he's even received messages from the original ghostbusters. george, will you solemnly swear? say, i do swear to uphold the code of the ghostbusters cadets - organisation worldwide.

hey, george, welcome to the team. hey, this is winston zeddemore. just finished busting some ghosts, but i had to take a moment out to just give you a shout out, and welcome you to the team. you know... itjust means to me that i could do anything and nothing's out of my reach. and i try... i tried to not get scared. i got scared a few hits, but... i don't know. itjust makes me feel happy. it was a ghost—busting dream come true for george. a chance to be like his movie heroes for a day. and every bit as brave. # i ain't afraid of no ghosts.# corinne wheatley, bbc news, leeds. that's the actual ghostbusters in that! when an eight—year—old is told he is going to the library, normally they do not get excited. well done to everybody who took part.

good morning. it's wednesday, the 15th ofjune. our main story. the home secretary, priti patel, says she will not be deterred from implementing her plan to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda — despite a series of legal challenges preventing the first flight from taking off last night. up to seven people had been expected to be on board, but it was grounded after a late intervention from the european court of human rights. mark lobel reports. going nowhere. borisjohnson's rwanda plan to cut immigration, grounded for now. this flight was originally meant to take over 100 asylum seekers to rwanda, then just a handful, and finally, none, following a series of legal challenges. the charter plane has now returned to its base in spain. i think the government is surprised and disappointed by the ruling made last night. the it is the quickest

time i have ever known and echr to consider a particular case. nevertheless, it had been through a british court and that is why i think people would be surprised to learn that european judges were overturning the decisions of british judges. there is an element here. we still need to go through that ruling and decide the next legal steps, but also prepare the next flight. it's particularly galling for the government, coming on the day more than 300 people arrived in dover, after attempting to cross the channel in small boats. the exact journey this policy is meant to deter. but britain's partner in this, the rwandan government, remains on board. we are undeterred. we are committed to this partnership, and we stand ready to welcome the migrants when they do arrive in rwanda. so what happened ? the european court of human rights, which is separate to the european union, and to which the uk is a signatory, has the final say in human rights issues. it ruled asylum applicants would face a real risk of irreversible harm in rwanda,

contradicting a ruling byjudges in london, who had found no immediate risk to those being sent there. but home secretary priti patel has hit back. she said... i'm afraid it is not going to be a deterrent _ i'm afraid it is not going to be a deterrent. it is not going to work. it will_ deterrent. it is not going to work. it will probably be abandoned and will have — it will probably be abandoned and will have cost the uk taxpayer millions — will have cost the uk taxpayer millions and millions and pendants of pounds. — millions and millions and pendants of pounds, and we will be in exactly the same _ of pounds, and we will be in exactly the same mess we are currently in after_ the same mess we are currently in after 12_ the same mess we are currently in after 12 years in office. the uk public is divided over the issue. and borisjohnson says his government may have to change the law to help

with the policy. european court of human rights has recommended there are no flights put together until the review hearing into the hold policy is heard. we expect that will take place in about six weeks, during july. the plan has not yet got off the ground, but is not dead. attention now turns to howjudges will rule when they examine the entire rwanda removals policy next month. mark lobel, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our home affairs editor, mark easton. morning. a lot happened last night. what is your understanding of what went on? ~ ., , what is your understanding of what went on? ~ .,, ., , went on? well, it was all very dramatic _ went on? well, it was all very dramatic. and _ went on? well, it was all very dramatic. and for _ went on? well, it was all very dramatic. and for us - went on? well, it was all very dramatic. and for us trying i went on? well, it was all very dramatic. and for us trying to | went on? well, it was all very i dramatic. and for us trying to cover the story. _ dramatic. and for us trying to cover the story. it — dramatic. and for us trying to cover the story, it was very much a changing _ the story, it was very much a changing situation until the last minute — changing situation until the last

they were properly in love, kind of, to the extent where it was embarrassing as a teenager, because they would kiss in public and use ridiculous pet names for each other. david hunter, this devoted husband and father, is accused of murder — murdering the woman he adored, in the place they called paradise. paphos is where they retired to after his life down the pit. but all this ended whenjanice became seriously ill with cancer. she was struggling to eat. she was struggling to drink. she had chronic diarrhoea. so my dad was making nappies for her out of towels. she had frequent accidents. so my dad was carrying her into the shower and cleaning her up. my mum always took such pride in her appearance. and he said, you know, she hated that kind of loss of dignity, that... ..that just. .. she hated it. it destroyed her. you know, she'd be crying

as he cleaned her, saying, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry." the couple lived here, after selling their old home to pay for medical insurance. but last year, just a week before christmas, david killed janice, and tried to take his own life. how sure are you that those were your mum's wishes? 100% sure. i've talked to my dad. my dad has told me repeatedly about the conversations he had with my mum. there will be people who believe what your dad did was wrong, and that he needs to be punished. so what would you say to them? how would you explain it? life isn't black and white. life has many, many, many shades of grey. and yes, technically, i agree. he broke the law. and i understand why some people might believe that the best course of action is to punish him. but i don't believe that. because... ..i believe he was doing as my mum asked, and he's not

a threat to society, he's not a risk to anyone else. he's not going to hurt anyone else. i don't thinkjustice is best served by him spending the rest of his life in prison. i know that if he gets a life sentence, it will be a death sentence. in effect, he will die in prison. he wouldn't be around for long at all, because he's struggling in there and he's not well. or i think he'll take his own life. the grave, that neither david nor lesley are able to visit. little tributes left by locals in cyprus. i'm juggling the grief for my mum, which i can't even begin to look at in a way, because i think if i do that, then i'll crumble, and i can't do that at the moment. so my poor mum has kind of been put on the back burner. i do sometimes talk to her sometimes and say, "i'm really sorry, mum, "i will stop and think about you at some point." lesley calls this legal battle the fight of her life.

what about you? how are you? i don't know. i don't really have time to think about me, to be honest. it can't be about me. it's not about me. it's about my dad. i'm really tired, um... ..and sad. what happens to david is in the hands of three judges. was this the ultimate act of kindness, or premeditated murder? david's trial is due to start tomorrow. it is in front of three judges. — tomorrow. it is in front of three judges. no _ tomorrow. it is in front of three judges, nojury. his legalteam tomorrow. it is in front of three judges, nojury. his legal team will say this— judges, nojury. his legal team will say this is— judges, nojury. his legal team will say this is not about whether or not he killed _ say this is not about whether or not he killed janice, say this is not about whether or not he killedjanice, it say this is not about whether or not he killed janice, it is about why. they— he killed janice, it is about why. they say— he killed janice, it is about why. they say it — he killed janice, it is about why. they say it was not premeditated murder, — they say it was not premeditated murder, it — they say it was not premeditated murder, it was assisted suicide. they— murder, it was assisted suicide. they try— murder, it was assisted suicide. they try to— murder, it was assisted suicide. they try to change the charge. it was rejected by the attorney general~ _ was rejected by the attorney general. a here have the power to

nina's here with the details. good morning. people who run businesses or public sector services are facing a crunch. their operating costs are going through the roof. their employees are saying, we are facing inflation, we can't afford these wages. the numbers are adding up. good morning. these are some of the people who keep our nations moving. railway staff, engineers who fix phone and broadband lines, bin workers. they have something else in common — they are considering industrial action. we spoke yesterday about pay. so, yes — wages are going up. but when you take inflation, or how much prices are rising, into account, regular pay fell by more than 2% in the past year. bus drivers in yorkshire have had enough. they're on strike indefinitely. talks will take place today, and the stakes are high.

i've got drivers who are working 40, 50 hours a week full time, still having to visit food banks and subsidise their families because the cost of living has gone through the roof, which i'm sure everybody knows and everybody feels it. you can't come to work and go to food banks. we should be paying people a proper rate of pay for their work. why would you drive a bus £10 an hour, when you can drive a lorry a £20 an hour, working tesco's and get the same rates of pay with less stress? why would you drive a bus? you might also be aware of the railway strike next week. network rail staff and workers from 13 of the 15 train operating companies will walk out in a row overjob losses and pay. we will find out more details later. but there's a warning just 20% of services will run. the strike coincides with a tube walkout in london. telecoms workers from bt are being asked today, if they wish to strike, after unions rejected a pay offer. if up to 40,000 engineers from 0penreach, bt and ee

decide to down tools, expect disruption to landline and broadband services. bin drivers are on strike in various parts of the country too. they could be joined later this summer by airport staff and civil service workers. some headlines are describing a summer of discontent, or another general strike, harking back to the 19205. but one industrial relations expert say that is wide of the mark. there are some big ones, but the idea that everyone is going on strike in a general strike, say, this summer, isjust wrong. one of the arguments from the railway unions is that many of the members worked throughout the pandemic, they were hailed as amongst the many heroes, and they have come out of it, we are coming out of it, hopefully, they are now facing job losses, potential pay freeze, or certainly a pay rise wave at the rate of inflation, possible attacks on their pensions, terms and conditions.

what do you expect unions to do? there are reports the government is considering changes to the law to allow agency workers to replace people on strike. but that would be very controversial, and railway experts say it would also be very dangerous. we have been talking all of this morning about pay in the private and public sector and how it is failing to meet inflation. thank you for your e—mails. this was from lisa. this was really striking. she is a community nurse. she says, we are on the front line. we don't know when we enter a home if there is covid. we use our on cars and we have been hit by the fuel price rises. we love hourjobs. we are not recognised. mandy is a social worker. she has had a pay rise of £7 per month. she has been a social worker for 25 years. she loves herjob it feels unappreciated. tracy is one of lots

of private sector workers who got in touch this morning. pointing out that businesses are struggling at the private sector. she says, in retail we worked all through the pandemic, we faced disgruntled customers moaning about the cost of groceries and fuel. i am fed up with getting the flak. we strongly deserve decent pay and conditions. private sector workers also feeling the increase in inflation. their work is not necessarily keeping pace. statistically, on average, it is not as bad. the growth in public sector pay is nowhere near inflation. overall, we are all —2.2% worse off when you factor in inflation. unfortunately, things don't look set to change. no. it will not go on the other direction any time soon. and a rail strike next week? yes, we find a detailed _ and a rail strike next week? yes, we find a detailed study. _ find a detailed study. thank you. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. sam and gethin can tell us

what they have in store.

of building safety. of course, what grenfell has shown us is regulations can fail and i'm afraid quite a large proportion of those buildings are not as safe as we previously thought they were. dozens of cctv cameras could be placed outside schools in north london to stop parents driving near them during drop—off and pick—up times. brent council is considering installing them near 24 schools in the borough. according to a counci report, some staff at schools have been "subject to verbal abuse from drivers who do not support these schemes." the first cameras are expected in september this year. plans for redesigning grosvener square in mayfair — close to where the american embassy used to be based — have been approved by westminster city council. it's the labour council's first planning proposal since they took control last month. the developers want to make the area more welcoming to visitors and turn it into a "biodiverse haven." well, if you're heading out

on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. another bright start this morning. plenty of sunshine around today as high pressure remains in charge. uv levels of course are high and the pollen count remains very high today as well. not a lot of cloud around. you might run into a little bit of fairweather cloud later but it will be high. temperatures warm, if not hot, at 27 celsius. overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the wind is light and we willjust start to notice the humidity increasing. minimum temperature between 10 and 14 celsius. for thursday, the hot and humid air starts to move up from spain. that will bring us some sticky and rather uncomfortable conditions. it is going to be a hot day tomorrow. again, a lot of sunshine around for thursday. the maximum temperature just sneaking up a degree or two to 28 celsius. our peak in temperatures

comes on friday. 32, potentially 33. you will notice this pool of cooler airjust starts to sink south. looks like we will hang on to the warm, dry conditions for much of saturday but this cold front is going to move south. a bit of a question mark on timing. looks like some thundery downpours as we head overnight saturday at the moment and through sunday, bringing some fresher air. i'm back with you london news just after 9am. head to our website for everything else that going on. until then have a lovely morning in the sunshine! bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. thank you forjoining us. nearly 200,000 properties in england may have to be abandoned by 2050, due to rising sea levels — according to a report.

scientists say water levels could rise by as much as a metre by the end of the century. our climate and environment correspondentjonah fisher is in the village of happisburgh on the norfolk coast this morning. morning, jonah. beautiful day but they know i need to wear what the risks are, what potentially they are facing. not a bad day for it. there they are facing. not a bad day for it- there is _ they are facing. not a bad day for it- there is a _ they are facing. not a bad day for it. there is a beautiful— they are facing. not a bad day for| it. there is a beautiful lighthouse, happisburgh lighthouse. happisburgh has one of the fastest eroding coastline is in the country. if you just come through and have a look. this is beach road. 20 years ago there was 100 metres of road and several houses. they lost four metres of this road since december of last year. things are changing very rapidly. why we are talking about this is there is a new report out suggesting nearly 200,000 homes and businesses are at risk from sea

level rises by 2050. if you look down there, you might think, sea level rises, they have not got much to worry about. a small rise in sea level means the waves hitting the coastline have more energy, eroding the coast a lot faster. a serious thing for people here happisburgh. happisburgh is dealing with the consequences of how it deals with erosion now. it is a question many more of us over the next few decades as sea levels continue to rise. you can actually see where my bungalow was. the sea has already made bryony homeless once. nine years ago, the land under her house here in north norfolk crumbled into the water. a coastline that has always been shaped by the waves is now being consumed at an alarming rate.

december last year, about middle of it, there was eight metres of road between here and the end there. i measured it yesterday and we're down to 3.4 metres. so you've lost four metres — just over four metres — since the start of the year, basically. since last december. december. the remains of the rocks and wood, which once tried to protect briony�*s old home, can still be seen. but there's no more money for sea defences in happisburgh. the sea — no—one will ever stop that. malcolm helped plan happisburgh's response to the eroding coast, and his project is now being seen as an example of how the rest of britain might adapt. nine homes that were about to fall into the sea were bought by the government and demolished, and their owners helped to start again inland. as they drop off the front, you build them at the back. you move. you move the homes, you move the families. you move the families. so if you come back in 200 years' time, you're still see happisburgh.

it'll be in a different guise, and it might be a kilometre over there, but it will still exist. our sea levels are already rising. at the moment, it's just by a few millimetres every year. but the rate is increasing. what this all means for coastal communities like happisburgh is that there's going to be tough questions asked as to whether to hold the line or retreat inland. so when we increase our sea levels, we get much more energy arriving at the coast. paul sayers has been researching the likely impact of sea level rises on small english coastal communities. he says it may not be possible to defend up to 200,000 homes and businesses by 2050. there's not going to be money probably under current funding rules, but also we're not sure if we would... it would be really difficult to do.

our coast would be quite different from what it looks like now. we would have very little intertidal zone, very little habitat, very... it would be a much more stark coastline if we were going to try and defend against it. itjust wouldn't be practical and wouldn't be affordable. it's not going to be a popular message for those at risk. you're still basically on the front line. iam. bryony has only moved up the road to a house that may be underwater within the decade. the decisions are taken by people in london. i think they have to think about the long term for how we are going to look to the rest of the world if we just stand by and just let our country disappear. scientists say several hundred years of rising sea levels are now inevitable. difficult decisions lie ahead. what should we protect and what let go?

road or is the dp pointing to something more worrying? the heaviest defeat in over 90 years. 2-0 to heaviest defeat in over 90 years. 2—0 to hungary before they added another. john stones was then sent off later sent off for a second yellow card before daniel gazdag made it even worse for england. it's their their biggest margin of defeat at home in 94 years. plentiful gareth southgate to ponder. chance of, you do not know what you are doing at the end. the impressive runs of soon forgotten. if we're judged on the matches with our full strength players, then i think it's a different assessment. i've got to accept for the next period is going to be unpleasant and uncomfortable. but that's life as a football manager. you're never going to have six years like we've had and not have

difficult nights. also preparing for the world cup, wales, a gareth bale penalty in injury time looked to have earned them a 2—2 draw with the netherlands. but then just a minute later, memphis depay scored to hand the hosts a 3—2 win. scotland ended their disappointing international break on a high, coming from from a goal down to beat armenia li—i, che adams with their fourth, a run of games which saw them miss out on world cup qualification. what about that bairstow brilliance that sealed england victory over new zealand as they took the series. they were chasing 299 to win on the last day, a huge total, that would require something impressive. cue a man of the match of the display as he hit the second fastest test century by an england player. who else to hit the winning runs?

new captain ben stokes, who called this his greaest ever win. you can see it meant a lot. and special now he is captain. thank you very much indeed. a busy morning. after a busy three weeks celebrating the very best of uk wildlife, the latest series of springwatch will come to an end tomorrow. we saw wild badgers give birth, cuttlefish find love and the rare horseshoe bat in its natural habitat. but it may have been one particular funny moment that stood out in viewers' minds. let's take a look. sometimes i would like to do that myself. i would like to fart a whole load of bubbles all around myself to protect me from the outside world. i don't mean i want you to do it! you mustn't fart me a whole load of bubbles. for goodness' sake!

hello, good morning, welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines at 9:00am. the government says the next asylum flight to rwanda is being prepared after a last—minute injunction was granted last night which stopped the first flight yesterday. the government is surprised and disappointed by the ruling made last night. in my experience as a minister, it's the quickest time i've ever known echr to consider a particular case. we still need to obviously go through that ruling, decide the next legal steps, but also prepare the next flight. what's your view of the government's rwanda plan — will it deter others from making that perilous journey across the channel in a boat?
