hello, good morning, welcome to bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines at 9:003m. 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?

the european union will respond this morning to the uk's decision to publish legislation allowing ministers to unilaterally override parts of the agreement governing post—brexit trade in northern ireland. as temperatures are set to reach 33 degrees celcius today — that's around 91 degrees farenheit, a weather alert is issued for friday and saturday. people with a worrying cough, problems swallowing or blood in their urine can soon be referred for scans and checks by a pharmacist, rather than having to wait to see their gp. the home secretary, priti patel, says she won't be deterred from implementing her plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda,

despite a series of legal challenges that prevented the first flight from taking off last night. the plane was grounded when the european court of human rights ruled in favour of an iraqi man who was due to be on board, triggering fresh appeals tojudges in london. ms patel says she's "disappointed" but says "preparations for the next flight begin now". let's talk through what happened. the european court of human rights said the iraqi man faced "a real risk of irreversible harm" if he was flown to rwanda. the court is part of the council of europe set up after the second world war — and the uk is a member — and it's got nothing to do with the european union. the high court in london had earlier ruled there was no reason to stop the flight but acknowledged there were serious issues with the rwanda policy. judges here will next month, through what's called a judicial review, consider whether the policy is legal. the plan — which will

cost £120 million — was announced last month and will run for five years. scores of charities, campaign groups as well as the church of england oppose the policy — which will see some asylum seekers given one—way tickets to the east african country. a number have launched legal challenges. let's get the latest from mark lobel. 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. 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 route to break that business model of the people traffickers who are causing untold misery and under hold cost 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. earlier government minister therese coffey spoke to bbc

breakfast where she insisted the home office was determined to go ahead with the policy. the government is surprised and disappointed by the ruling made last night. in my experience as a minister, it is the quickest time i have ever known ehcr to consider a particular case. but nevertheless, it had been through british courts and that is why i think people will be surprised to learn that european judges are overturning britishjudges' decisions. so there is an element here of we still need to obviously go through that ruling, decide the next legal steps, but also prepare the next flight. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley. the government is clearly going to carry on with this, even though we have a judicial review next month by judges in this country who will consider whether this policy is legal at all. consider whether this policy is legal at all-— consider whether this policy is leual at all. ,., ., ., .,, legal at all. good morning. it was interesting _ legal at all. good morning. it was interesting that _ legal at all. good morning. it was interesting that therese - legal at all. good morning. it was interesting that therese coffey i interesting that therese coffey didn't put a timeframe on when the next flight would be. it seems possible that that might not happen

until next months now, potentially until next months now, potentially until after that judicial review, although nobody in government is explicitly saying that. the fact they are not putting a timeline on when they will try again to get a flight off the ground suggests they might be waiting for that next legal challenge. but we should be in no doubt that the government knew it was going to face some legal challenges on this. it is pretty angry about what happened last night because it thinks the british courts were happy for it to go ahead. but it's determined to get on with it. i think we will hear that from ministers today. we are expecting the home secretary to make a statement to parliament this afternoon outlining her interpretation of what happened yesterday. and what happens next. the message i am getting from everyone i speak to in government is they are absolutely adamant the policy is a good idea and it will deter people from making small boat crossings over the english channel and therefore they are determined it'll happen. and therefore they are determined

it'll happen-— i'm joined now by kevin saunders, a former chief immigration officer at border force who was based in france until 2016. good morning. first of all, your reaction to the fact this flight was halted. ,., ., ., ., , halted. good morning. iwas absolutely — halted. good morning. iwas absolutely astonished - halted. good morning. iwas absolutely astonished that i halted. good morning. iwas absolutely astonished that it halted. good morning. i was - absolutely astonished that it was halted. i was thinking it was all going to go ahead and that was that. it came as a big shock. i think the reaction of the man in the street is going to be incredibly negative towards europe, even though the unhcr is outside the eu, i think people will think... wright lets be clear, it's not the unhcr, it's the european court of human rights, based in strasbourg. you are quite right. that sits outside the eu.

people from ukraine. but not for people from ukraine. but not for people from iraq, iran or syria, it would appear. people from iraq, iran or syria, it would appear-— people from iraq, iran or syria, it would appear. now, what you are doinu , would appear. now, what you are doing, victoria, _ would appear. now, what you are doing, victoria, is— would appear. now, what you are doing, victoria, is you _ would appear. now, what you are doing, victoria, is you are - would appear. now, what you are doing, victoria, is you are mixing| doing, victoria, is you are mixing things up. the people coming from afghanistan are coming under the afghanistan are coming under the afghan scheme, which the home secretary opened injanuary of this year. the hong kong chinese are coming because they are bnos you can come. they are arriving in the uk in the right and proper manner with proper documentation. these people, unfortunately, choose to throw away their documents and come through an illegal method, and it is illegal now under the new legislation which was passed last month. so they are not arriving in a proper manner. 50 not arriving in a proper manner. so how would syrians, iraqis or iranians come legally? what the

now. we do what the government tell us to do. and their view is people who arrive illegally in the uk will be dealt with one way. people who arrive in the uk properly will be dealt with another way. and that's the sad fact of life.— the sad fact of life. thank you for s-ueakin the sad fact of life. thank you for speaking to _ the sad fact of life. thank you for speaking to us. _ the sad fact of life. thank you for speaking to us, mr _ the sad fact of life. thank you for speaking to us, mr saunders. - the sad fact of life. thank you for speaking to us, mr saunders. a l speaking to us, mr saunders. a former chief immigration 0fficer speaking to us, mr saunders. a former chief immigration officer at the border force. the european union will set out its response this morning to the uk's decision to publish legislation allowing ministers to unilaterally override parts of the agreement governing post—brexit trade in northern ireland. the bloc believes going back on the arrangement breaks international law. from brussels, our correspondent, jessica parker. so the european commission this morning is announcing that it is going to launch legal proceedings. actually, relaunch something that it paused last year. it said as a goodwill gesture to try and give space for the talks around these post—brexit arrangements in northern ireland.

but it will unpause those proceedings today and we expect them as well to launch some new proceedings as well. now, that is over claims that the uk has failed to properly share trade data and set up border inspection posts as well. so various sets of legal proceedings which could eventually end up in some kind of fine. but that is some way down the track. and the eu as well are trying something it seems of a carrot and stick approach, it is being termed by some diplomats here. they are also going to outline today some further ideas, details, on their own proposals to try and ease checks on goods going from great britain to northern ireland. so there is a bit of a twin track approach there. and it is worth saying, as i mentioned, legal action could take some time. the legislation being put through parliament by the uk government, that could take some time as well. but diplomats are saying that if that legislation did become law, at

that moment, they might look at trade sanctions, tariffs, for example on uk goods. but this will all bubble along over the summer, possibly into future months as well. but eventually, if nothing changes, if nothing is resolved, then you could potentially see a much more significant confrontation down the line if the two sides can't come together and resolve, in some cases, quite significant differences in their approach to the northern ireland protocol which is, of course, a treaty that was signed up to by borisjohnson's government as well as the european union. the uk saying, though, it is causing a lot of disruption, that it has led to the collapse of power—sharing in northern ireland and the text of the treaty needs to be changed. the eu disagrees, it thinks practical solutions can be found within the terms of the treaty. 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 correspondentjonah fisher is on the norfolk coast. it looks absolutely stunning. how are you, good morning? it is absolutely stunning here this morning. a beautiful morning to be out and about. the reason we are here is because the coastline here is among the fastest eroding bits of coastline in the country. if you look at the road it comes to an abrupt halt at the top of the cliff. there used to be about 100 metres of more road out there with houses on either side but it has all been eroded away. this road itself has lost four metres in the last six months or so. there is a new report out today, looking specifically at homes and businesses that may be at

risk in england by 2050. it found nearly 200,000 homes were at risk of falling into the sea. so it is clearly a big issue that many of us particularly who live along the coastline will have to grapple with over the next decades as the sea levels rise. i had a close look at the situation here last week to try to understand what the state of the discussion is here. 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'll 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? i'm nowjoined by who you saw in the

report. before i speak to you, we can see the geography, the geography, the sea is there and your old house used to be about 50 metres out there. and your new house is just that one behind us up the road. and i believe it will not last long. that is so. around about another ten years— that is so. around about another ten years if_ that is so. around about another ten years if i_ that is so. around about another ten years if i am — that is so. around about another ten years if i am lucky. the that is so. around about another ten years ifi am lucky.— years if i am lucky. the obvious question. _ years if i am lucky. the obvious question. why _ years if i am lucky. the obvious question, why didn't _ years if i am lucky. the obvious question, why didn't you - years if i am lucky. the obvious question, why didn't you move | question, why didn't you move further inland?— question, why didn't you move further inland? because it's really im ortant further inland? because it's really important we _ further inland? because it's really important we try _ further inland? because it's really important we try to _ further inland? because it's really important we try to defend - important we try to defend happisburgh and i'm here to do it with a _ happisburgh and i'm here to do it with a new— happisburgh and i'm here to do it with a new organisation called save happisburgh action group. we are trying _ happisburgh action group. we are trying to— happisburgh action group. we are trying to get across the idea that if we _ trying to get across the idea that if we don't — trying to get across the idea that if we don't do something about protecting happisburgh there are consequences for the rest of the country. — consequences for the rest of the country, just happisburgh. the messa . e country, just happisburgh. the message from _ country, just happisburgh. tue: message from the country, just happisburgh. tte: message from the government country, just happisburgh.

able to manage things like racial abuse from patients. unfortunately a lot of us just kind of accept that is part of the job. but really what surprised me was the more racially motivated comments i was getting from staff members, and really this has been happening since i first started training within the nhs. so i have had professors come up to me and touch my hair as if i am a zoo animal or something like that. i have had people making comments about me being the only one of my race in an operating theatre. i have people openly laughing about my scrub cap situation when i am in theatre because i can neverfind a scrub fact that fits over my braids. and then you have the more implicit and insidious stuff that is the under the carpet racism. it is

seeing notjust your under the carpet racism. it is seeing not just your white colleagues are being treated in a different way to you and being offered opportunities that have not been offered to you, repeatedly, it's things like seeing your other colleagues who are doctors and nurses and health care associates of colour being spoken to with contempt or spoken about with contempt. and you start to think, right, what are people saying about me when my back is turned? we are not only talking about racism from white people to non—white people, are we? tt t from white people to non-white people. are we?— from white people to non-white people, are we? if i could turn a hrase, people, are we? if i could turn a phrase. it _ people, are we? if i could turn a phrase. it is _ people, are we? if i could turn a phrase, it is not _ people, are we? if i could turn a phrase, it is not as _ people, are we? if i could turn a phrase, it is not as black- people, are we? if i could turn a phrase, it is not as black and i phrase, it is not as black and white as that. it is coming from all angles. i have had people from all different race make unpleasant comments about me or to me related

to my race. it is certainly not an us versus them situation which i think unfortunately is the way a lot of people see it. this is an entire organisational thing. of people see it. this is an entire organisationalthing. haifa of people see it. this is an entire organisational thing.— organisational thing. how do you correct it? _ organisational thing. how do you correct it? how— organisational thing. how do you correct it? how do _ organisational thing. how do you correct it? how do you _ organisational thing. how do you correct it? how do you resolve i organisational thing. how do you | correct it? how do you resolve it? it's a really difficult question. a lot of people have asked me and spoken to me about this kind of thing. unfortunately, iam not an expert, i can talk about my experience, one thing i strongly believe is that by opening this conversation, that is at least a start. it is a topic that a lot of people can't talk about, they feel awkward talking about it if you are not from a minority ethnic background, and i think targeting training at medical school level and nursing school and training, really, to get people to try and speak about it and recognise the signs where

somebody might be disadvantaged because of their race. you somebody might be disadvantaged because of their race.— because of their race. you are 29 ears because of their race. you are 29 years old. _ because of their race. you are 29 years old. you — because of their race. you are 29 years old, you have _ because of their race. you are 29 years old, you have done - because of their race. you are 29 years old, you have done your i because of their race. you are 29 i years old, you have done your dental degree, you are now doing which part of yourtraining? t degree, you are now doing which part of your training? t am degree, you are now doing which part of yourtraining?— of your training? i am now doing my medical degree _ of your training? i am now doing my medical degree as _ of your training? i am now doing my medical degree as a _ of your training? i am now doing my medical degree as a graduate i medical degree as a graduate student. . , ., medical degree as a graduate student. ., , ., student. have you considered leaving as a result of — student. have you considered leaving as a result of some _ student. have you considered leaving as a result of some of— student. have you considered leaving as a result of some of these - as a result of some of these experiences? have you thought about that? the experiences? have you thought about that? , ., ,., , that? the first thing to say, reall , that? the first thing to say, really, nobody _ that? the first thing to say, really, nobody in _ that? the first thing to say, really, nobody in the i that? the first thing to say, really, nobody in the nhs l that? the first thing to say, | really, nobody in the nhs is that? the first thing to say, - really, nobody in the nhs is having a good time at the moment. we are all suffering from an incredible amount of stress and pressure that is put on us as a cohort. but having to deal with the fact that my race might be holding me back and might be a reason for me to find my working life difficult and more difficult than everyone else, it has beenin difficult than everyone else, it has been in the back of my mind to think of alternative career options.

with lots of clear skies. temperatures should stay in double figures so it is a milder start to the day tomorrow. watch out for a few shallow mist patches forming, but they will not last for too long at all. and then on thursday, we tap into that very hot, humid air moving in from the south. so temperatures will be high, it will feel quite sticky by night. temperatures peak on friday, perhaps in the low 30s for the london area but feeling fresher with heavy thundery showers over the weekend. hello — this is bbc news. the headlines: the government says preparations are under way for the next flight to take asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda. the first flight was stopped minutes before take off by a last minute legal challenge 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. the eu will resume legal action against the uk over its plans to override part of the post brexit deal governing trade in northern ireland. people with a worrying cough, problems swallowing or blood in their urine can soon be referred for scans and checks by a pharmacist, rather than having to wait to see their gp. vets urge prospective pet owners to "stop and think" before buying an english bulldog ——because they have twice the health risks of other dogs. they also want people to stop sharing pics of them on social media. as temperatures are set to reach 33 degrees celcius today — that's around 91 degrees farenheight, a weather alert is issued for friday and saturday. we'll bring you a detailed weather

forecast in the next 25 minutes sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. england slipped to their biggest home defeat in 93 years against hungary in the nations league last night. a—nil, they lost at molineuez which has led to questions over gareth southgate's future and the direction of his england team despite leading them to a world cup semi final and euros final. 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. so where does this leave southgate? having experimented with formation and selection, is this a blip or something more worrying? football is emotional, people pay to come and watch, they are going to give an opinion, the team were not able to deliver tonight, my responsibility and if the flak comes my way i have to deal with that, not

going to be the manager, it is not realistic to have the right i have had for five years and not have bad nights, difficult nights, criticism, thatis nights, difficult nights, criticism, that is part and parcel of the job. also preparing for the world cup, wales, a gareth bale penalty in injury time looked to have earned them a 2—all with 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 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. ben stokes called yesterday's series clinching victory over new zealand the greatest match he's ever played in, one underpinned by some jonny bairstow brilliance. after bowling out the tourists, they were set a total of 299 to win on the last day. it needed something special, cue a man of the match performance

from jonny bairstow who hit the second fastest ever test century by an england player. it was the captain ben stokes who hit the winning runs as england recorded one of their greatest victories. that blows headingley, blows lords, the world cup final, emotionally, the enjoyment i got out of every minute on the field was incredible. 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—a0 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 number five but pulled off the biggest win of his career. and to round it off, he was also given a wildcard entry to wimbledon. that's all the sport for now. let's return to the news that the first flight for asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda has been cancelled due to an intervention from the european court of human rights. the migrants were scheduled to be taken to the capital kigali — from where our deputy africa editor anne soy reports. the asylum seekers were expected here this morning but that was not to be. the government here says it is undeterred, it remains committed to the partnership with the uk which was signed in april, and they say

that the rad, the asylum seekers whenever there will be an all clear in the uk and the asylum seekers are sent here, they will be ready to take them in, to take them to their accommodation. we have been to see some of the accommodation that has been set aside for the asylum seekers, the first one, the home of people who are by the 1994 genocide, it has been refurbished, freshly painted, and so the government says that as soon as the asylum seekers arrive here, they will be sent to look after them and to process their claims of asylum. the government spokeswoman said that they are a big part of the solution despite the public outcry in the uk, despite the huge debate that is going on, the

international organisations that have criticised the decision of the uk to send asylum seekers here to rwanda, the government here has defended its human rights record and says that they are doing this for the right reasons. it is about changing perceptions for them as well because they are saying africa is notjust well because they are saying africa is not just a well because they are saying africa is notjust a place for problems, it is notjust a place for problems, it is a place for solutions. people with a worrying cough, problems swallowing or blood in their urine will soon be referred for scans and checks by a pharmacist, rather than having to wait to see their gp. it's hoped the pilot scheme, launched by nhs england, will help to diagnose more cancers early and is aimed at helping patients who might not have noticed any symptoms. the nhs will not rest in our efforts to catch more cancers early and save more lives. today, we are announcing a radical new package of measures, so we'll go out into the community to find cancers that may otherwise go undetected.

so, if somebody comes to a pharmacy more than once a month for cough medicine, if they have got worrying symptoms like blood in their urine, pharmacists will be able to refer directly for further tests if they are part of this pilot. with me now is shaun walsh, head of public affairs and campaigning at cancer research uk. good morning. this really is a profound change and will help so many people. tt profound change and will help so many people-— many people. it really is. it is something — many people. it really is. it is something that _ many people. it really is. it is something that cancer - many people. it really is. it is i something that cancer research uk welcomes, we know how challenging it has been for cancer services over the pandemic, and we were failing to hit and so it intensely for the pandemic, new innovative measures and model such as this to bring cancer services closer to people in the community and the places where they work, where they live, where they work, where they live, where they play, is a really positive step and we look forward to seeing the results of the pilot. iuntil]!

enough staff and kicked in the nhs to treat them soon enough. the secretary of state for health and social care is publishing a ten year plan for cancer next month, there is an opportunity to make a decade of difference here. the different decisions they make on that ten year plan will leave a legacy, the plan therefore it must deliver on detail. it must notjust tell us what we want to achieve in terms of improving diagnosis for example, which is critical, crucially, how do we get there? what steps do we need to take to get there? this initiative today could be part of those steps. initiative today could be part of those steps-— initiative today could be part of those stes. . , ., , ., , those steps. can you explain why early diagnosis _ those steps. can you explain why early diagnosis when _ those steps. can you explain why early diagnosis when it _ those steps. can you explain why early diagnosis when it comes i those steps. can you explain why early diagnosis when it comes to | early diagnosis when it comes to cancer is critical? $5 early diagnosis when it comes to cancer is critical?— early diagnosis when it comes to cancer is critical? as you know, it is the difference _ cancer is critical? as you know, it is the difference in _ cancer is critical? as you know, it is the difference in terms - cancer is critical? as you know, it is the difference in terms of, i cancer is critical? as you know, it i is the difference in terms of, makes the difference in the kinds of treatments available for those people affected. if we are able to

diagnose cancer at stage one or choose, the interventions are much whiter and more successful depending on which type of cancer. it is the thing that is most challenging in this country. we know cancer survival in the uk with comparable health systems across europe is high, and one of the key reasons is that we do not diagnose people soon enough. the number of people who present emergency, is staggeringly high, initiatives like this, raise awareness, get people into the system early with the chance of more successful treatment, it is much better for them. successful treatment, it is much betterforthem. i successful treatment, it is much betterfor them. i would successful treatment, it is much better for them. i would always end on the note that we have had a huge impact on cancer survival, thanks to research, we have doubled cancer survival in the last 40 years, initiatives like this will help us continue that trend.— initiatives like this will help us continue that trend. thank you very much for talking _ continue that trend. thank you very much for talking to _ continue that trend. thank you very much for talking to us. _ england's children's

commissioner has called for more mental health support in schools —— to help lower absence rates to below pre—pandemic levels. the government says it's increased mental health funding as part of significant changes to the attendance system —— to ensure that no child can fall through the cracks. let's speak now to pepe di'iasio , headteacher at wales high school in sheffield and president of the association of school and college leaders. good morning. how are you? good mornin: , good morning. how are you? good morning. very _ good morning. how are you? good morning, very well, _ good morning. how are you? good morning, very well, thank - good morning. how are you?

since the return to school is a i mental health? what we have seen since the return to school is a real. since the return to school is a real happiness and a sense ofjoy that students have had to return to school. it is one of those phrases that you hear often and you do not know how much you value something until you mess it. what we have seen in students as they have been happy to return even in the middle of exam season when perhaps students have been anxious or unhappy about having to sit exams in informal environment, we are seeing a real of pride and determination for them to show what they can do under extreme conditions. at the same time as that, during the last weeks, we have seen an increase in high levels of mental illness and what we are not able to do is see the response that we need from workers and pathways that can help support those young people that have got quite severe conditions that we are in school are not able to support them with. iflhiiid not able to support them with. child and adolescent _ not able to support them with. child and adolescent mental health services, from the messages i get on

impacts on children not being in school and attendance is so important and quite rightly, the children commissioner has an aspiration that we have 100% attendance and we are saying that we need support to enable this to take place. d0 need support to enable this to take lace. , ., need support to enable this to take lace. ~' need support to enable this to take lace. .. ., need support to enable this to take lace. ~ ., , place. do you think that is a realistic goal, _ place. do you think that is a realistic goal, it _ place. do you think that is a realistic goal, it is _ place. do you think that is a realistic goal, it is laudable | place. do you think that is a i realistic goal, it is laudable this september when children go back, is achievable? ~ ., ., , . achievable? what the health service are takin: achievable? what the health service are taking me _ achievable? what the health service are taking me as _ achievable? what the health service are taking me as it _ achievable? what the health service are taking me as it takes _ achievable? what the health service are taking me as it takes time i achievable? what the health service are taking me as it takes time to i are taking me as it takes time to train specialist and get them into the system. so i think it is a laudable aspirational target and we would want to support it, i think teachers would want it because they know it can help them prepare and plan their lessons better, parents want it because they know that school is the best place for young people and their children themselves and young people really want out, they have experience what loneliness is like and what isolation is like through the pandemic, so everyone wants 100% attendance. but not at the cost of it being the wrong place
