apart from a brief statement saying he was stepping down with regret, no explanation has been given for his departure. but two days ago, he told mps it was reasonable to suggest borisjohnson had breached the ministerial code when he was fined over lockdown gatherings at downing street. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. did the prime minister break the ministerial code? - he may not be a household name, but he had, until yesterday, a crucialjob in government. we mentioned in my last evidence to this committee... lord geidt, being questioned here by mps earlier this week, advised boris johnson on whether ministers had broken their code of conduct. all i can do is to try — and i do try — to make things work as well as i can. but later he decided things weren't working. and last night, in a brief statement, said...

lord geidt used to be the queen's private secretary. in his more recentjob, he oversaw ethics and behaviour in government, amid rows about the prime minister's own conduct, and at times a strained relationship with number 10. there've been lots of reports, lots of rumours that he was unhappy. there was that suggestion that he was 60—a0 in favour of resignation a few weeks ago. so clearly it's been put about that he wasn't happy. i think you could also tell from some of the tortured language in some of his reports, his letters to the prime minister, and the statements that were put out around the revisions to the ministerial code recently, that he was dancing around these sorts of ethical issues with a lot of difficulty and some pangs to his conscience. there was a legitimate question, lord geidt said last month, over whether borisjohnson broke the ministerial code by breaking covid laws. but the prime minister insisted he hadn't. ..whether you've

contemplated resignation? there are few instruments available to an independent adviser, and... i am going to take that answer as, at least it was on the agenda. we've mentioned before in evidence that it's always on the agenda as an available remedy to a particular problem, and one that my predecessor indeed exercised. a government spokesperson said last night... the person who should have left downing street tonight is the prime minister himself, and the whole country will be wondering just how long do they have to wait for those tory mps to do the right thing? lord geidt is the second standards adviser to quit in less than two years, leaving the key role of scrutinising standards in government, vacant once again. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster.

our political correspondent, nick eardley, joins us now from westminster. when we get resignation letters of late, they have tended to be quite long and almost quite damaging as well when it comes to the prime minister. this resignation letter from lord geidt was very short? titer? from lord geidt was very short? very short, 'ust from lord geidt was very short? very short. just a — from lord geidt was very short? very short, just a sentence. _ from lord geidt was very short? very short, just a sentence. but that was the -- _ short, just a sentence. but that was the -- only— short, just a sentence. but that was the —— only the statement of the government put on their website. there _ government put on their website. there was— government put on their website. there was a resignation letter, which — there was a resignation letter, which we — there was a resignation letter, which we think it's quite a bit longer, — which we think it's quite a bit longer, which has not been published. i think there will be some — published. i think there will be some pressure on the government to rethink— some pressure on the government to rethink that, to let us all know why lord geidt— rethink that, to let us all know why lord geidt made this decision, because — lord geidt made this decision, because we just don't know at the moment — because we just don't know at the moment. there had been some clues over the _ moment. there had been some clues over the past few months, rumours ahout— over the past few months, rumours about his _ over the past few months, rumours about his future swirling around westminster for months. there was the session— westminster for months. there was the session before mps on tuesday when _ the session before mps on tuesday when he _ the session before mps on tuesday when he talked about his frustration at those _ when he talked about his frustration at those lockdown parties in downing street, _

i%. that in may, it raised the base rate to i%. that is the highest level for 13 1%. that is the highest level for 13 years. the base rate is basically the cost of borrowing money. it is used as a benchmark by high street banks and lenders for the interest rates they charge you and me for things like credit cards, loans, and crucially, mortgages. most people won't be affected right away because a third of people actually round. a third of people own their home outright. and the remaining third have a mortgage. most are on fixed deals. it is only those on variable or tracker mortgages that are affected pretty quickly. even those on fixed deals, when it comes to shopping around, when the deal expires, they might not be able to find such good deals available. what we are expecting, the bank will raise the base rate to 1.25%. it doesn't sound like much of a jump from the 1% currently. but that would be its highest level since 2009. an announcement at 12 noon

after his hard life working down the mine, they moved to cyprus. it was their reward, a retirement they always dreamed of. but here, inside their home, janice was suffering. she had blood cancer. so, david said he killed his teenage sweetheart, and he tried to take his own life. now, on the first day of his trial, one of his lawyers is questioning the circumstances under which he confessed to the killing. his mental condition was never actually taken into account when he was giving that statement. so in that respect, we consider that this is a matter that should be separately examined by the court, probably with a trial within trial. there you go, girl. one from me. and a special one from david. paying his respects to janice — it's something barry kent does

for his old friend david, every time he makes this special trip from northumberland. you've known david since you were both 15 and 16. what do you think he's feeling at the moment? he's putting on a brave face for people. i think behind the scenes, he's pretty scared. he's pretty frightened. he's not well, we all know that. he's totally devastated. absolutely devastated. and we feel the pain, you know. barry does this for david's daughter, too. lesley can't travel to cyprus for health reasons. but back home in norfolk, her message to the court is clear. please, please, please show my dad some compassion, because he is a good, good man. please don't allow him to spend his last few years in a prison alone. the fate of this former miner now lies in the hands of three judges, far from his family back home.

94—year—old kenneth shadbolt waited more than five hours for an ambulance after a bad fall — an accident that proved fatal. 0ur health correspondent, jim reed, has this story. his only spell out of the country was national service after the war. always lived in that village, which had been camden, all his life. he was very well known. he was very much a character of that town. gerry shadbolt has been trying to piece together what happened on the night his father died. he was looking for the ambulance that never came. kenneth was in good shape for a 94—year—old. a retired carpenter, he lived alone in the cotswolds. on that night, though, the health service was under pressure. the bbc applied to see documents from an inquest into his death. they show that at 2:53 am, ken got out of bed and fell. he collapsed on the floor and called 999 twice from his mobile. transcripts of the calls are spoken by actors. ambulance service. - is the patient breathing? i need an ambulance.

i'm unable to move. i don't want you to try- and move either, sir, 0k? how long will it be? i don't know, unfortunately. we will try our best to get someone there as soon as we can, 0k? - ken was recorded as an urgent category two case, meaning an ambulance should have arrived in 18 minutes on average. he's clearly trusting the ambulance service, but it's clear on the second call that his condition is worsening, and he's getting anxious because he's not getting any assurances about an ambulance. ken waited for an hour on the floor before calling a third time. the details are distressing. it took another four hours for an ambulance to arrive. by then, ken was unconscious. he was taken to gloucestershire royal hospital, where he died that afternoon from a bleed to the brain.

he was on his own, and he knew he was on his own. and he must have felt abandoned, you know, alone on his bedroom floor. that's the most troubling part of it for me. we can't be sure if a faster response time would have saved ken's life. but a five hour wait for an ambulance is certainly far higher than the target for a call like this. and it's certainly not an isolated incident. across the country, waiting times for ambulances are far higher than they should be. that's down to rising demand, and because busy hospitals are finding it hard to discharge patients into social care. in gloucester this week, these ambulances were having to queue outside before they could unload their patients, rather than getting back on the road quickly. the health care safety watchdog has now launched an investigation into what's a national problem. so harm is happening on a daily basis, and that harm is everything

from the patients deteriorating and ambulances waiting to go into emergency departments, patients acquiring hospital acquired infections because they're staying in hospital longer than they may necessarily need to. so we are seeing harm happening. university hospital- in the north midlands. you can see now, 23 ambulances. paramedics, meanwhile, say long waits outside hospital are making it far more difficult to do the job they trained to do. it's very draining to continually go out to patients in the community, who are really cross and really frustrated with the paramedic crew and with the technicians, with the call handlers. and that really takes its toll. it has a real high moral injury for our membership. ken's family say they've lost faith in the ambulance service to be there when they need it. how many other people, right now, are being made to wait four or hours for an ambulance, and it's having a detrimental effect on their prospects

to survive, you know? southwestern ambulance service describes long delays as an unacceptable risk to patients, and says it's working to get crews back out on the road as quickly as possible. gloucester hospital says that health care nationally is under intense pressure, but staff are working tirelessly all to ensure patients are cared for. jim reed, bbc news. in response, the department of health says... "the nhs has allocated £150 million of additional funding to address pressures on ambulance services, with the number of ambulance and support staff increasing by almost 40% since february 2010." time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. there are now more than 500 cases

of monkeypox in the uk — with most of the infections in london. testing is being advised for those who think they've been in close contact. public health bosses say it is not a sexually transmitted disease but nearly all cases are amongst gay or bisexual men. and the vast majority of new cases continue to be seen here in the capital. because infection has a very long incubation period, the time between exposure and symptoms appearing, it means oftentimes people might be exposed and are able to transmit to others before being formally diagnosed and that is why all of our efforts now are about raising awareness and encouraging people to come in for testing, which is so important because it helps us get ahead of the epidemic. as the cost of living continues to rise, research suggests children and teenagers are becoming more aware of the crisis and some are worrying about their family's finances. 0ne charity — which runs financial education lessons in schools in the capital — says its sessions are more vital than ever. we are making sure that young people understand their relationship with

money, what their priorities are. i find that more young people are asking questions about inflation. they've heard that word and they want to understand exactly what it means. the nhs is appealing for more young londoners to become regular blood donors in a new five—year strategy, nhs blood and transplant says donors of black african and caribbean heritage are especially needed, to help treat people with sickle cell — the fastest growing genetic blood disorder in the uk, which mostly affects people with black heritage. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures rose to 28.2 celsius in kew gardens making it the hottest day of the year so far. more sunshine today and this

was the sunrise earlier in acton from the weather watcher and this sunshine will stay with us through the day. the wind is reasonably light again and the temperature and uv levels are high and the pollen count is high, maximum 28 celsius but one or two spots locally could reach 29. overnight tonight, it could be quite uncomfortable for sleeping and the minimum temperature between 12 and 16 celsius but the humidity starts to increase. friday, we reached our peak in temperatures and looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 33 celsius. that warm air coming up from the south and there is a bit more of a breeze tomorrow but it doesn't affect the temperature and like i say, the low 30s, and there could be one or two spots on friday that get above that to the north of london, so potentially 34. you will notice into the weekend we had a cold front moving south but saturday looks like we will hang on largely dry conditions and the risk of the rain arriving early but it will also be hot and the cold front moves south and potentially heavy thundery downpours and fresher temperatures on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website

at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this morning. we're live on eastbourne beach with advice on staying safe both in the water and in the hot weather this week. one of the largest and most detailed anglo—saxon archaeological sites has been uncovered in buckinghamshire. we'll chat to historian dan snow to find out what it tells us about life in the ”dark ages". childhood friends and ultimate eighties girl group, bananarama will be here to chat about their new electro—pop album, which is all about being comfortable

with yourself and who you are. passengers have been asked to only travel on trains during next week's strikes if absolutely necessary, as only a fifth of services are due to run. 40,000 rmt union members are set to walk out on three days next week, a special timetable is being drawn up but services will be affected. ben has more details. many commuters, travellers, people with plans to get away will get away next week. find with plans to get away will get away next week. �* , , ., ., next week. and rightly so. there are still talks going _ next week. and rightly so. there are still talks going on _ next week. and rightly so. there are still talks going on between - next week. and rightly so. there are still talks going on between the - next week. and rightly so. there are still talks going on between the rmt union. _ still talks going on between the rmt union, network rail and 13 train companies. but operators warned there _ companies. but operators warned there will— companies. but operators warned there will be huge disruption of the strikes _ there will be huge disruption of the strikes go — there will be huge disruption of the strikes go ahead. so what's happening? around 40,000 workers will go out on strike on three days — tuesday 21st, thursday 23rd

and saturday 25thjune — but services will be affected from monday. on the three strike days, network rail says only 20 percent of services will run — and only between 7.30am and 6.30pm. final departures will be much earlier than usual. for example — the last train from manchester to london will leave at 1447. the last from norwich to london at 4pm and from london to edinburgh at 2pm. rural and district services will be worst hit — with no trains to cornwall on strike days, for example. never — on other days will be affected with around 60% of services running — a special timetable will be released tomorrow. but the overall message is not to travel unless it's absolutely necessary and those who can't avoid it should plan ahead. national rail says if you've bought advance, off—peak or anytime tickets and are affected on strike days then you'll be eligible for a refund. transport focus, the watchdog that represents passengers, is calling for clarity

on whether you'll be able to rebook or get your money back. it's absolutely vital that the rail industry provides the clearest possible information so anyone who has to make a vitaljourney next week knows exactly what is running, how it affects them, and certainly if they are looking to cancel their journey, if they can claim a refund on the ticket they have bought. the day after the strike is a different story because some services will be running but not everything we are urging clarity and consistency from train operators about passengers right to claim refunds or rebook journey after the strike action. alongside commuters... schoolchildren sitting exams could be affected by the strikes — as well as several large events with glastonbury festival, an england cricket test match and rolling stones concerts all taking place next weekend. these travellers had mixed views about the prospect of disruption. the problem is a much greater one,

and the strike action, the problem is that we have massively underinvested in rail travel for such a long time. is underinvested in rail travel for such a long time.— underinvested in rail travel for such a long time. is it right? in their eyes. _ such a long time. is it right? in their eyes. yes. _ such a long time. is it right? in their eyes, yes, in _ such a long time. is it right? in their eyes, yes, in my- such a long time. is it right? in their eyes, yes, in my eyes, i such a long time. is it right? in| their eyes, yes, in my eyes, no. such a long time. is it right? in i their eyes, yes, in my eyes, no. i their eyes, yes, in my eyes, no. understand why they need to do their eyes, yes, in my eyes, no.- understand why they need to do and their eyes, yes, in my eyes, no._ understand why they need to do and i fully support it. i know it's not the best— fully support it. i know it's not the best way but if they're not being — the best way but if they're not being heard any other way, there is nothing _ being heard any other way, there is nothing left for them. i being heard any other way, there is nothing left for them.— nothing left for them. i think they aet aid nothing left for them. i think they get paid quite _ nothing left for them. i think they get paid quite well, _ nothing left for them. i think they get paid quite well, don't - nothing left for them. i think they get paid quite well, don't they? l nothing left for them. i think they get paid quite well, don't they? i | get paid quite well, don't they? i know— get paid quite well, don't they? i know they— get paid quite well, don't they? i know they get _ get paid quite well, don't they? i know they get paid _ get paid quite well, don't they? i know they get paid a _ get paid quite well, don't they? i know they get paid a lot - get paid quite well, don't they? i know they get paid a lot more i get paid quite well, don't they? i. know they get paid a lot more than me. know they get paid a lot more than me i_ know they get paid a lot more than me iwouldn't _ know they get paid a lot more than me. i wouldn't mind _ know they get paid a lot more than me. i wouldn't mind doing - know they get paid a lot more than me. i wouldn't mind doing their. know they get paid a lot more thanl me. i wouldn't mind doing theirjob. i me. iwouldn't mind doing theirjob. i support— me. i wouldn't mind doing theirjob. i support them _ me. i wouldn't mind doing theirjob. i support them. everyone _ me. iwouldn't mind doing theirjob. i support them. everyone is- me. i wouldn't mind doing theirjob. i support them. everyone is having. me. i wouldn't mind doing theirjob.| i support them. everyone is having a tough _ i support them. everyone is having a tough time. — i support them. everyone is having a tough time, and they need to adjust the pay— tough time, and they need to adjust the pay packages for everybody. i feel the pay packages for everybody. feel that the pay packages for everybody. i feel that they choose very inconvenient _ feel that they choose very inconvenient times- feel that they choose very inconvenient times to - feel that they choose very inconvenient times to goi feel that they choose very. inconvenient times to go on feel that they choose very— inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this— inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this is— inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this is the — inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this is the main _ inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this is the main line _ inconvenient times to go on strikes, but this is the main line between . but this is the main line between manchester— but this is the main line between manchester and _ but this is the main line between manchester and london, - but this is the main line between manchester and london, so - but this is the main line between - manchester and london, so hopefully they will— manchester and london, so hopefully they will do— manchester and london, so hopefully they will do what _ manchester and london, so hopefully they will do what they _ manchester and london, so hopefully they will do what they can _ manchester and london, so hopefully they will do what they can to - manchester and london, so hopefully they will do what they can to stop - they will do what they can to stop it from _ they will do what they can to stop it from closing. _ the rmt is claiming that rail bosses plan to cut 2,500 jobs as they try to save £2—billion because of financial pressures caused by the pandemic. the transport secretary grant shapps

coaches but the hope is that lessons can be learned once the report is published today and the sport can finally make changes and move on and some gymnasts feel they have been treated badly. an independent report into abuse at all levels of british gymnastics will be published this afternoon. the review has taken nearly two years to complete and contains allegations of wrongdoing from elite athletes down to grassroots gymnasts. here's our sports correspondent, natalie pirks. for the last two years, british gymnasts have been telling us of a sport where they say mistreatment was the norm. i would absolutely describe it as a culture of abuse. where weight was heavily controlled. how would you feel if you were 21 years old and given ultimately a baby plate to eat off of? and where hard training often meant ignoring painful injuries. i was told to carry on as if nothing happened and i couldn't carry on. it was up to me to ring my dad to pick me up and take me to the hospital where they told me i had broken my foot in four places.

this afternoon, after several delays, anne whyte qc will tell us whether she believes gymnasts' welfare really is at the centre of the culture of gymnastics in the uk, or whether, as many have claimed, medals have been valued above well—being. i would like to thank each and every one of you who has come forward to share your story. i'm very grateful that so many gymnasts, parents, coaches and others involved in the sport of gymnastics responded to my requests, often in difficult circumstances. those circumstances were wide ranging. since august 2020, the whyte review has received more than 400 submissions with more than 90 clubs and 100 coaches name. 39 cases were considered so serious they were passed to local authorities. anne whyte says the allegations of abuse described to her team range from bullying, belittling, extreme weight management,

to the use of excessive physical force, coercive control and people being made to train on serious injuries. today is an unprecedented opportunity to address the historic wrongs that have been created in gymnastics and to reform the sport that we love for the better. and we hope that today is going to bring about various recommendations that will be acted on by uk sport, sport england and british gymnastics to improve training conditions and competition conditions for gymnasts in the future. it is expected today's 300 page report will make wide—ranging recommendations for reform. this could be gymnastics's day of reckoning. plenty more on that when the report comes out this afternoon. the us open golf begins later today, with players from the breakaway saudi—backed "liv" tour, allowed to compete in the event, despite being banned, from a number of other competitions. phil mickelson , dustinjohnson , and patrick reed,

are among the rebel golfers who will be teeing off at brooklyne today. they'll be rubbing shoulders, with others who insist, they haven't been tempted by the most lucrative, money spinning, tournament in golf history, and are sticking with the pga tour. i'm trying to focus on the us open. i'm trying to focus on the us open. i legitimately don't get it. i'm tired of the conversations and all of this stuff. i guess you have a black cloud on the us open and i think that sucks. britain's katie boulter is having an excellent week at the birmingham classic tennis. on tuesday she recorded the biggest win of her career, knocking out second seed alison riske in the first round. yesterday the world number 141, saw off caroline garcia of france, in another straight sets victory. and boulter will face former world number one simona halep for a place in the semi—finals after the romanian beat britain's harriet dart in straight sets. england play belgium tonight at molineux in the first of three friendlies ahead of the women's euros which begin next month. former captain steph houghton won't be involved. she's been left out of the england squad for the euros. she hasn't played since january

morgan has the details. i just began to feel very anxious, very withdrawn, i couldn't settle, sleepless nights... usually an upbeat, positive person, sarah's personality and life completely changed after being assaulted. although my physical injuries healed quite quickly, it took longer to sort of get over the emotional impact of everything. how did it affect your relationship with your daughter? i suppose i became very protective, even more protective. i started to restrict our social activities. i remember her saying to me, "mummy, why are you so sad?" and, you know, that's hard when a small child says that to you. you recognise that i am not myself. the gp diagnosed sarah with ptsd and with a waiting list for therapy so long, she was offered a chance to be part of a new treatment that was being trialled. sarah took part in a study

by cardiff university that included 196 patients and spanned over four years. now, the cohort was split into two groups, sarah and one half were given a new online guided self—help treatment on the other half were given a regular contact based therapy. by 16 weeks, more than 80% of people in both groups no longer had ptsd. evidence the authors this of this new study suggest points towards the fact that this new treatment is just as effective as cognitive —based therapy for those with ptsd. step one, learning about my ptsd... authors say the treatment in its entirety can take about a third of the time of therapy only care and the online programme called spring can be used by patients from the comfort of their own home.

the few face—to—face or zoom meetings with a therapist are still part of the process but far less than what is usually needed, meaning the cost and time pressures on the nhs could be vastly reduced. i think this has the potential to make a great difference to people with ptsd and also to the nhs. we'll be able to treat more people in a shorter amount of time and therefore the waiting list for such treatments would reduce. the nhs in wales has already begun using this method and spring could be due to start roller across other parts of the uk health service soon. although this study�*s authors say the treatment not be suitable for all, for people like sarah who is all this was sparked by a single incident it could be life changing. i've been completely match fit since i did the programme. it's given me sort of techniques that are so useful in just everyday life, really. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. there are now more than 500 cases of monkeypox in the uk, with most of the infections in london. testing is being advised for those who think they've been in close contact. public health bosses say it is not a sexually transmitted disease, but nearly all cases are amongst gay or bisexual men. because infection has a very long incubation period, the time between exposure and symptoms appearing, it means often times people might be exposed and are able to transmit to others before being formally diagnosed and that is why all of our efforts now are about raising awareness and encouraging people to come in for testing, which is so important because it helps us get ahead of the epidemic. as the cost of living continues to rise, research suggests children and teenagers are becoming more aware of the crisis and some are worrying about their family's finances. one charity — which runs financial education lessons in schools in the capital — says its sessions are more vital than ever.

we are making sure that young people understand their relationship with money, what their priorities are. i find that more young people are asking questions about inflation. they've heard that word and they want to understand exactly what it means. the nhs is appealing for more young londoners to become regular blood donors. in a new five—year strategy, nhs blood and transplant says donors of black african and caribbean heritage are especially needed, to help treat people with sickle cell. it's the fastest growing genetic blood disorder in the uk, which mostly affects people with black heritage. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures rose to 28.2 celsius in kew gardens making it

the hottest day of the year so far. more sunshine today and this was the sunrise earlier in acton from the weather watcher and this sunshine will stay with us through the day. the wind is reasonably light again and the temperature and uv levels are high and the pollen count is high, maximum 28 celsius but one or two spots locally could reach 29. overnight tonight, it could be quite uncomfortable for sleeping and the minimum temperature between 12 and 16 celsius but the humidity starts to increase. friday, we reached our peak in temperatures and looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 33 celsius. that warm air coming up from the south and there is a bit more of a breeze tomorrow but it doesn't affect the temperature and like i say, the low 30s, and there could be one or two spots on friday that get above that to the north of london so potentially 34. you will notice into the weekend we had a cold front moving south but saturday looks like we will hang on largely dry conditions and the risk of the rain arriving early but it will also be hot and the cold front moves south

and potentially heavy thundery downpours and fresher temperatures on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a man confesses to killing a britishjournalist and his local guide in brazil, and leads police to where he buried the bodies. the prime minister's ethics advisor, lord geidt, resigns a day after saying there was a "legitimate question" over whether borisjohnson broke ministerial rules. interest rates on the rise again? they're already the highest they've been for 13 years, and the bank of england is expected to announce another increase later today.

it's thursday, 16thjune. our main story. police in brazil say they've found what are thought to be the bodies of a missing britishjournalist and his local guide, after one of two men arrested in connection with their disappearance confessed to killing them. dom phillips and bruno pereira were last seen in a remote part of the amazon earlier this month. our south america correspondent, katy watson, reports from manaus. it was a hastily organised press conference. a panel of military men delivering the awful news after ten days of searching. translation: the first suspect voluntarily confessed _ at the end of last night. he made a criminal confession outlining in detail the crime he committed, and indicated the area where he buried the bodies. early on wednesday morning, he was taken on a boat to help the search teams find the bodies.

it was three kilometres from the river bank in this thick forest that human remains were found. these photos showing the difficult terrain the teams faced, needing the help of helicopters, sniffer dogs and divers to get to the site. these are the two men as their friends and family want to remember them. dom phillips, an experienced and passionatejournalist, writing a book on saving the amazon. his travelling companion, bruno pereira, was an indigenous expert. he knew this community so well and was loved by so many. the indigenous communities where the first to raise the alarm on the day they disappeared. and they didn't give up, accompanying the authorities, and even leading them to clues. but in the press conference, they weren't mentioned. i asked the man heading the investigation, why. the indigenous helped a lot in trying to find the belongings of the two men, but nothing has been mentioned of the help they gave the forces. translation: actually, it was|

a mistake not to mention them. the work was carried out with the help of river communities and indigenous people. a lot of them accompanied us on the boats and in the planes, so that was fundamental. this crime has horrified people here in brazil and globally. it has brought into sharp focus the dangers faced by those wanting to save the forest. the criminal activity that takes place in this vast, beautiful, yet threatened amazon. dom's wife says the tragic outcome brings an end to the anguish of not this brings the search to an end and closure for the families, who pushed so hard in trying to find the men. but of course it also reveals the brutal criminality in the amazon, and the lack of ability by the state to control it. the families now say they will fight for justice. katy watson, bbc news, manaus.

the prime minister's ethics adviser lord geidt has resigned, the second to do so in under two years. apart from a brief statement saying he was stepping down with regret, no explanation has been given for his departure. just two days ago, lord geidt told mps it was reasonable to suggest borisjohnson had breached the ministerial code when he was fined over lockdown gatherings at downing street. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. did the prime minister break- the ministerial code, lord geidt? he may not be a household name, but he had, until yesterday, a crucialjob in government. we mentioned in my last evidence to this committee... lord geidt, being questioned here by mps earlier this week, advised boris johnson on whether ministers had broken their code of conduct. all i can do is to try — and i do try — to make things work as well as i can. but later he decided things weren't working. and last night, in a brief statement, said...

lord geidt used to be the queen's private secretary. in his more recentjob, he oversaw ethics and behaviour in government, amid rows about the prime minister's own conduct, and at times a strained relationship with number 10. there've been lots of reports, lots of rumours that he was unhappy. there was that suggestion that he was 60—110 in favour of resignation a few weeks ago. so clearly it's been put about that he wasn't happy. i think you could also tell from some of the tortured language in some of his reports, his letters to the prime minister, and the statements that were put out around the revisions to the ministerial code recently, that he was dancing around these sorts of ethical issues with a lot of difficulty and some pangs to his conscience. there was a legitimate question, lord geidt said last month,

over whether borisjohnson broke the ministerial code by breaking covid laws. but the prime minister insisted he hadn't. ..whether you've contemplated resignation? there are few instruments available to an independent adviser, and... i am going to take that answer as, at least it was on the agenda. we've mentioned before in evidence that it's always on the agenda as an available remedy to a particular problem, and one that my predecessor indeed exercised. a government spokesperson said last night... the person who should have left downing street tonight is the prime minister himself, and the whole country will be wondering just how long do they have to wait for those tory mps to do the right thing? lord geidt is the second standards adviser to quit in less than two years, leaving the key role of scrutinising standards

legislation around farming, which should be cut. see, if you've got all these barriers and restrictions holding you back, as a business, you're not actually going to be able to move forward, as we have done in previous years, sort of thing. and do you know which way you're going to vote? i'm going to vote for lib dem. i think we've been a conservative constituency for a long time. in the young farming community there's a lot of us who feel like the government hasn't gone far enough. i'm between conservative and lib dem. my thoughts are, i'm looking for an mp who's going to look at farming on a more food security, and not so much on the environment. . i'd rather have the conservative . party, even though they've received a lot of bad press in the last two or three years _ we've probably gone through some of the worst times we've ever beenj through with covid etc, - and i think borisjohnson's done a damn good job, really. just the same.

and yeah, swings and roundabouts whether i'll even vote. but if i do, it would probably go conservative. so a lot to chew over there. and that's interesting in itself, because this is a seat that has been conservative since its creation in 1997, and most of it has been tory for decades before that. last time, neil parish, the former mp, won by 211,000 votes over his nearest rival. under the normal rules of politics, this isn't a by election that would usually even raise an eyebrow. but the lib dems are pushing hard here, despite coming third behind labour in 2019. in the constituency�*s other main town of tiverton, opinion is also divided. so if liberal democrats win it, then boris is in trouble. hopefully, all us tories will come out and vote and keep it a tory area. i have always voted conservative

and i've liked a lot of what they've delivered in the past. but at the moment, i'm so appalled by the government at the moment. so that's probably why i'm looking more locally than government. so who i vote for, i don't know. but it won't be boris. to be honest, i'm a labour supporter, but it's not very labour sort of country here. so i think tactically i'll be voting lib dem. the leadership's a mess _ at the moment and something needs to be done to change it. yeah, i'm slightly disillusioned with the way that things are being done at the moment, and choices are being made that i don't really feel comfortable with, and i think a change might be necessary. what people here decide next week could have consequences which stretch to the rest of the country. a big moment for a part of devon that perhaps never expected to find itself in the political limelight.

public health bosses say it is not a sexually transmitted disease but nearly all cases are amongst gay or bisexual men. because infection has a very long incubation period, the time between exposure and symptoms appearing, it means often times people might be exposed and are able to transmit to others before being formally diagnosed and that is why all of our efforts now are about raising awareness and encouraging people to come in for testing, which is so important because it helps us get ahead of the epidemic. as the cost of living continues to rise, research suggests children and teenagers are becoming more aware of the crisis and some are worrying about their family's finances. one charity which runs financial education lessons in schools in the capital says its sessions are more vital than ever. we are making sure that young people understand their relationship with money, what their priorities are. i find that more young people are asking questions about inflation. they've heard that word and they want to understand exactly what it means.

the nhs is appealing for more young londoners to become regular blood donors. in a new five—year strategy, nhs blood and transplant says donors of black african and caribbean heritage are especially needed, to help treat people with sickle cell. it's the fastest growing genetic blood disorder in the uk. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. on the tube there are minor delays on the district and circle lines and london overground is part suspended between stratford and richmond / clapham junction. onto the weather now with kate kinsella good morning. yesterday temperatures rose to 28.2 celsius in kew gardens making it the hottest day of the year so far. more sunshine today and this was the sunrise earlier in acton from the weather watcher and this sunshine will stay with us through the day.

the wind is reasonably light again and the temperature and uv levels are high and the pollen count is high, maximum 28 celsius but one or two spots locally could reach 29. overnight tonight, it could be quite uncomfortable for sleeping and the minimum temperature between 12 and i6 celsius but the humidity starts to increase. friday, we reached our peak in temperatures and looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 33 celsius. that warm air coming up from the south and there is a bit more of a breeze tomorrow but it doesn't affect the temperature and like i say, the low 30s, and there could be one or two spots on friday that get above that to the north of london, so potentially 34. you will notice into the weekend we had a cold front moving south but saturday looks like we will hang on largely dry conditions and the risk of the rain arriving early but it will also be hot and the cold front moves south and potentially heavy thundery downpours and fresher temperatures on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website

at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the prime minister's ethics adviser lord geidt has resigned — just a day after saying there was a "legitimate question" about whether boris johnson broke the ministerial code when he was fined over lockdown gatherings at downing street. we're joined now by the deputy prime minister, dominic raab. good morning to you. can i check a couple of things, technical details? it's been suggested we might hear from borisjohnson today it's been suggested we might hear from boris johnson today about the departure, is that correct? i from boris johnson today about the departure, is that correct?- departure, is that correct? i expect a further update _ departure, is that correct? i expect a further update from _ departure, is that correct? i expect a further update from number - departure, is that correct? i expect a further update from number ten. | departure, is that correct? i expect| a further update from number ten. i know there are questions around the details around the resignation. itruiiiiii details around the resignation. will be here from borisjohnson himself? i know there will be an update from number ten and if it comes from number ten and if it comes from number ten and if it comes from number ten or the prime minister i

i appreciate you saying the things you don't know but we were told he wrote a letter, which you would expect, to the prime minister, and we were also told it was a letter of some length that did explain the reasons for his departure. will the public, will people get to see his reasoning? i public, will people get to see his reasoning?— public, will people get to see his reasonin: ? �* ,, ., . , . reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and l — reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and i don't _ reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and i don't know _ reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and i don't know what's - reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and i don't know what's in - reasoning? i didn't know there was a letter and i don't know what's in it i letter and i don't know what's in it so the best i can say is there will be a further update and i'm sure that will provide the answer to what is a reasonable question. it's all happened overnight and i've been working on the announcement around specialist courts and that is the best i know as of now but again there will be an update from number ten later on. there will be an update from number ten later on-— ten later on. what is your thought? given he is — ten later on. what is your thought? given he is the _ ten later on. what is your thought? given he is the minister's _ ten later on. what is your thought? given he is the minister's ethics - given he is the minister's ethics adviser, do you think the public have a right to know what his reasons why? do you think that is a good position? he is advising on ethics and if his letter is pertaining to a decision he has

made, an ethical decision, should we get to see that?— get to see that? ultimately it is up to him. get to see that? ultimately it is up to him- he — get to see that? ultimately it is up to him. he has— get to see that? ultimately it is up to him. he has made _ get to see that? ultimately it is up to him. he has made a _ get to see that? ultimately it is up to him. he has made a statementl get to see that? ultimately it is up i to him. he has made a statement and it doesn't tell us much, so i would say it's not clear what the reason is and my understanding is he was talking and asking to stay on for a further six months. and i don't think it's right for me to speculate when there will be an update later today. when there will be an update later toda . ., . , . , today. you will have seen and she made reference _ today. you will have seen and she made reference to _ today. you will have seen and she made reference to it, _ today. you will have seen and she made reference to it, his - today. you will have seen and she i made reference to it, his appearance in front of mps on tuesday this week in front of mps on tuesday this week in which he clearly expressed frustration about the role he had and a number of quotes came out of that referring to partygate and the situation he was in, and specific quotes, he said that i thought it was reasonable and many people have written to me saying that a fixed

penalty notice and the prime minister paying for it may have constituted not meeting the overarching duty of the miss ministerial code of comply with the law? you will understand with people having heard what he said then knowing what has happened now will link these two things, that he thought his position was untenable. so how do you link what he said to mps and what has now happened? first of all, he mps and what has now happened? first of all. he said — mps and what has now happened? f “st of all, he said there was a reasonable question and the prime minister has answered that in that he inadvertently was in breach of the rules because he did not deliberately intend to go to this social gathering because he was attending a work event, so i think it is around intention. i can't tell you whether that is the reason he resigned because as i mentioned, my understanding was he had been discussing with number ten staying on for a further six months and there are other issues and you mention the committee of mps and i

always think when civil servants get always think when civil servants get a rough ride in those committees it's part of transparency, but also i'm rather protected of them because we as politicians sign up for that level of scrutiny and civil servants are not necessarily used to it and i think it can be very difficult all round. . , , . ., think it can be very difficult all round. . , , . . , think it can be very difficult all round. . ,, . . , . round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what _ round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what we _ round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what we can _ round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what we can say, - round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what we can say, so - round. ok, i appreciate there is a limit to what we can say, so let's| limit to what we can say, so let's move onto the flight to rwanda if we can. the convention on human rights. is it true, as reported in some places, that as the prime minister suggested, we can ignore their rulings in the future.— suggested, we can ignore their rulings in the future. there is a difference _ rulings in the future. there is a difference between caselaw- rulings in the future. there is a | difference between caselaw and adverse rulings against the but this specifically shows that strasberg has the power of injunctive relief and there is no basis in the convention and this is the focal

rule 39 interim orders which were regarded as purely advisory and there is no basis in the convention and it derives from the rules of procedure which govern the internal workings of the court and in relation to the specific interim order in relation to the rwanda flights, i don't think it is right that when the high court at lens has considered the issue and decided there is no grounds for an injunction, and the court of appeal has backed the verdict up and there has backed the verdict up and there has been no appeal to the supreme court then i think that those judicial rulings should be respected and actually those rule 39 interim order should be advisory only and i think that is something specific that the bill of rights will address squarely and that i would put it like this, first of all, we will and i said our plans involve staying within the convention and it is also important that the strasbourg court reflects and stays faithful to its mandate as part of the convention as

injunction and it's interesting to point out wide. no realistic risk to any of those involved and the public interest and the home secretary pursuing the policy of removals and i don't think it's right when it's been considered so carefully by so many lawyers and the most superior courts in the uk for that to be overruled on the vaguest of grounds when there is no basis in the european convention for strasberg to do so and i think we need to safeguard around that. in fairness, the icelandic president of the european court has, i believe, been taking the strasbourg court in the right direction and has been talking about the margin of appreciation and stopping what was called the age of the living instrument where constantly the boundaries of human rights are extended by the court without states, parties or elected lawmakers having any control over and i think that is the right direction of travel and i think it's unfortunate they have not stuck to their mandate more clearly in this specific instance.— specific instance. thank you for our specific instance. thank you for your time _ specific instance. thank you for your time this _ specific instance. thank you for your time this morning. - specific instance. thank you for your time this morning. good l specific instance. thank you for| your time this morning. good to specific instance. thank you for - your time this morning. good to talk to ou.

and you can imagine the horses thundering up there, the kaleidoscope of colours and the fashion mike was talking about and her majesty the queen has three horses racing today, one in the britannia stakes at five the, one at 535 in the hampton court stakes and one in the buckingham palace stakes at ten past six, and if her majesty does attend, and we don't know yet, she will be in the royal box behind me with other attending members of the royal family as well. it is gorgeous here this morning and already hot and the sun is absolutely beating down and it is going to get hotter. the forecast for the next few days is one of high heat and humidity for many parts of the country but not so much scotland and northern ireland and as we head into the weekend it all breaks down with some thunderstorms. today what we have is a chilly start to the day in wales but the temperature is picking up quickly and also looking

at a bit of cloud across the north and the west of scotland and northern ireland. that is producing some spots of rain and as we go through the day that will spread further east and further south across england and wales we have had some shallow mist but that is now evaporating and we are looking at a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine with temperatures already rising. today it is likely to be hotter than yesterday and the top temperature yesterday was 28.2 at kew gardens making it the warmest day of the year so far but it is tomorrow where we will see the peak of the heat and as we go through the rest of the day you can see the cloud spreads across northern ireland and scotland bringing in some rain after the sunny start in the south and east and we hang on to the south and east and we hang on to the sunshine across england and wales will stop there as an outside chance you could catch a shower in the south—west and parts of the midlands but that is it. temperatures 1a in the north to 28 in the south and possibly a little bit more. as we head through the evening and overnight, again,

thicker cloud coming in with heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland and here as well the breeze will pick up. clear skies across england and wales and the chance again of the odd shower but more cloud coming in across cornwall and the coast of wales and as a result of this, it's not going to be a cold night. tomorrow we pick up the rain across scotland and northern ireland and as it sinks south eventually into the north of england, it will be lighter and behind it will brighten up but for england and wales we are looking at another hot and sunny and humid day with temperatures potentially up to 33 degrees, some in the south—eastern quarter and locally we could see more than that but with the rain in the north, special conditions, so it will be pressure behind it and on saturday morning we hang on to the very warm hot air in the south but it is swept away by the weather front coming south through the course of saturday and then it is business as usual with a thundery breakdown and cooler weather. lovely

press conference. a panel of military men delivering the awful news after ten days of searching. translation: the first suspect voluntarily confessed _ at the end of last night. he made a criminal confession outlining in detail the crime he committed, and indicated the area where he buried the bodies. early on wednesday morning, he was taken on a boat to help the search teams find the bodies. it was three kilometres from the river bank in this thick forest that human remains were found. these photos showing the difficult terrain the teams faced, needing the help of helicopters, sniffer dogs and divers to get to the site. these are the two men as their friends and family want to remember them. dom phillips, an experienced and passionatejournalist, writing a book on saving the amazon. his travelling companion, bruno

pereira, was an indigenous expert. he knew this community so well and was loved by so many. the indigenous communities where the first to raise the alarm on the day they disappeared. and they didn't give up, accompanying the authorities, and even leading them to clues. but in the press conference, they weren't mentioned. i asked the man heading the investigation, why. the indigenous helped a lot in trying to find the belongings of the two men, but nothing has been mentioned of the help they gave the forces. translation: actually, it wasl a mistake not to mention them. the work was carried out with the help of river communities and indigenous people. a lot of them accompanied us on the boats and in the planes, so that was fundamental. this crime has horrified people here in brazil and globally. it has brought into sharp focus the dangers faced by those wanting to save the forest. the criminal activity that takes place in this vast, beautiful,

yet threatened amazon. dom's wife says the tragic outcome brings an end to the anguish of not knowing dom and bruno's whereabouts. this brings the search to an end and closure for the families, who pushed so hard in trying to find the men. but of course it also reveals the brutal criminality in the amazon, and the lack of ability by the state to control it. the families now say they will fight for justice. katy watson, bbc news, manaus. the prime minister's ethics adviser lord geidt has resigned — the second to do so in under two years. apart from a brief statement saying he was stepping down with regret, no explanation has been given for his departure. just two days ago, lord geidt told mps it was reasonable to suggest borisjohnson had breached the ministerial code when he was fined over lockdown gatherings at downing street. our political correspondent, nick eardley, joins us now from westminster.

issue. he also gave evidence in front of a committee of mps. look, are we still quite protective of civil servants? that can be quite proving —— bruising. politicians are used to that level of scrutiny. whether it is one of those three things, i don't know. but all i can tell you, my understanding was, as of this week, he had been looking at staying on for a further six months. so that is thejustice secretary so that is the justice secretary suggesting it was almost a drip, drip effect, that lord geidt basically decided he'd had enough. dominic— basically decided he'd had enough. dominic raab also told us on breakfast they would be an update from downing street on the situation later~ _ from downing street on the situation later i_ from downing street on the situation later. i think that refers to their potentially publishing a response to lord geidt's resignation, from the prime _ lord geidt's resignation, from the prime minister. but i think it is the content of lord geidt's letter that a _ the content of lord geidt's letter that a lot — the content of lord geidt's letter that a lot of people will want to see today. as i said, we know that he is _ see today. as i said, we know that he is gone, — see today. as i said, we know that he is gone, but we don't know why. thank— he is gone, but we don't know why.

he lived alone in the cotswolds. on that night, though, the health service was under pressure. the bbc applied to see documents from an inquest into his death. they show that at 2:53 am, ken got out of bed and fell. he collapsed on the floor and called 999 twice from his mobile. transcripts of the calls are spoken by actors. ken was recorded as an urgent category 2 case, meaning an ambulance should have arrived in 18 minutes on average. he's clearly trusting the ambulance service, but it's clear on the second call that his condition is worsening, and he's getting anxious because he's not getting any assurances about an ambulance. ken waited for an hour on the floor before calling a third time. the details are distressing.

it took another four hours for an ambulance to arrive. by then, ken was unconscious. he was taken to gloucestershire royal hospital, where he died that afternoon from a bleed to the brain. he was on his own, and he knew he was on his own. and he must have felt abandoned, you know, alone on his bedroom floor. that's the most troubling part of it for me. we can't be sure if a faster response time would have saved ken's life. but a five hour wait for an ambulance is certainly far higher than the target for a call like this. and it's certainly not an isolated incident. across the country, waiting times for ambulances are far higher than they should be.

that's down to rising demand, and because busy hospitals are finding it hard to discharge patients into social care. in gloucester this week, these ambulances were having to queue outside before they could unload their patients, rather than getting back on the road quickly. the health care safety watchdog has now launched an investigation into what's a national problem. so harm is happening on a daily basis, and that harm is everything from the patients deteriorating and ambulances waiting to go into emergency departments, patients acquiring hospital acquired infections because they're staying in hospital longer than they may necessarily need to. so we are seeing harm happening. university hospital- in the north midlands. you can see now, 23 ambulances. paramedics, meanwhile, say long waits outside hospital are making it far more difficult to do the job they trained to do. it's very draining to continually go out to patients in the community, who are really cross and really frustrated with the paramedic crew and with the technicians,

with the call handlers. and that really takes its toll. it has a real high moral injury for our membership. ken's family say they've lost faith in the ambulance service to be there when they need it. how many other people, right now, are being made to wait four or hours for an ambulance, and it's having a detrimental effect on their prospects to survive, you know? southwestern ambulance service describes long delays as an unacceptable risk to patients, and says it's working to get crews back out on the road as quickly as possible. gloucester hospital says that health care nationally is under intense pressure, but staff are working tirelessly to ensure patients are cared for. jim reed, bbc news. in response, the department of health says, "the nhs has allocated £150 million of additional funding to address pressures on ambulance services, with the number of ambulance and support staff increasing

by almost 40% since february 2010." that is the statement we received this morning. we're joined now by tracy nicholls, chief executive at the college of paramedics. good morning. when you hear the story, as wejust good morning. when you hear the story, as we just did there, of 94—year—old does that storyjump out of the blue to you, or is that story depressingly familiar? i of the blue to you, or is that story depressingly familiar?— of the blue to you, or is that story depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences _ depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences go _ depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences go to _ depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences go to jerry _ depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences go to jerry and - depressingly familiar? i mean, our condolences go to jerry and his - condolences go to jerry and his family— condolences go to jerry and his family on— condolences go to jerry and his family on can's terrible experience, naga. _ family on can's terrible experience, naga. but — family on can's terrible experience, naga, but unfortunately, it isn't unusual~ — naga, but unfortunately, it isn't unusual~ it _ naga, but unfortunately, it isn't unusual. it happened to ken. it will ever happen to someone else since your report — ever happen to someone else since your report. it will happen to someone _ your report. it will happen to someone else this week, next week. that is— someone else this week, next week. that isiust _ someone else this week, next week. that isjust the nature of the situation _ that isjust the nature of the situation at the moment. that is just the nature of the situation at the moment. what is happening? _

good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. there are now more than 500 cases of monkeypox in the uk — with 80% of the infections in london. testing is being advised for those who think they've been in close contact. public health bosses say it is not a sexually transmitted disease but nearly all cases are amongst gay or bisexual men. because infection has a very long incubation period, the time between exposure and symptoms appearing, it means often times people might be exposed and are able to transmit to others before being formally diagnosed and that is why all of our efforts now are about raising awareness and encouraging people to come in for testing, which is so important because it helps us get ahead of the epidemic. detectives have released an image of a man they want to identify in relation to a series of sexual assaults in the hackney marshes area. police have received 22 reports between february and june of a man approaching women on a bicycle and grabbing them.

in each incident the description of the suspect have been very similar. lone women have been out either walking orjogging when approached. as the cost of living continues to rise, research suggests children and teenagers are becoming more aware of the crisis and some are worrying about their family's finances. one charity which runs financial education lessons in schools in the capital says its sessions are more vital than ever. we are making sure that young people understand their relationship with money, what their priorities are. i find that more young people are asking questions about inflation. they've heard that word and they want to understand exactly what it means. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. on the tube, most lines are running well. just severe delays on london overorund after earlier problems with overhead lines. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday temperatures rose to 28.2 celsius in kew gardens making it the hottest day of the year so far.

more sunshine today and this was the sunrise earlier in acton from the weather watcher and this sunshine will stay with us through the day. the wind is reasonably light again and the temperature and uv levels are high and the pollen count is high, maximum 28 celsius but one or two spots locally could reach 29. overnight tonight, it could be quite uncomfortable for sleeping and the minimum temperature between 12 and 16 celsius but the humidity starts to increase. friday, we reached our peak in temperatures and looking at a maximum tomorrow of around 33 celsius. that warm air coming up from the south and there is a bit more of a breeze tomorrow but it doesn't affect the temperature and like i say, the low 30s, and there could be one or two spots on friday that get above that to the north of london, so potentially 34. you will notice into the weekend we had a cold front moving south but saturday looks like we will hang on largely dry conditions and the risk of the rain arriving early but it will also be hot

and the cold front moves south and potentially heavy thundery downpours and fresher temperatures on sunday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. there's been an update on the trial of a british man who is accused of murdering his terminally—ill wife at their home in cyprus last december. 75—year—old david hunter says he assisted his wife's suicide. our correspondent, fiona trott, is in paphos for us. fiona, what's the latest? there is a hearing inside the court that lasted —

years, and a lot of allegations. the independent report into abuse at all levels of british gymnastics will be published this afternoon. the review has taken nearly two years to complete and contains allegations of wrong doing, from elite athletes down to grassroots gymnasts. here's our sports correspondent, natalie pirks. for the last two years, british gymnasts have been telling us of a sport where they say mistreatment was the norm. i would absolutely describe it as a culture of abuse. where weight was heavily controlled. how would you feel if you were 21 years old and given ultimately a baby plate to eat off of? and where hard training often meant ignoring painful injuries. i was told to carry on as if nothing happened and i couldn't carry on. it was up to me to ring my dad to pick me up and take me to the hospital where they told me i had broken my foot in four places. this afternoon, after several delays, anne whyte qc will tell us whether she believes gymnasts' welfare really is at the centre of the culture of gymnastics in the uk, or whether, as many have claimed, medals have been valued above well—being.

i would like to thank each and every one of you who has come forward to share your story. i'm very grateful that so many gymnasts, parents, coaches and others involved in the sport of gymnastics responded to my requests, often in difficult circumstances. those circumstances were wide ranging. since august 2020, the whyte review has received more than 400 submissions with more than 90 clubs and 100 coaches named. 39 cases were considered so serious they were passed to local authorities. anne whyte says the allegations of abuse described to her team range from bullying, belittling, extreme weight management, to the use of excessive physical force, coercive control and people being made to train on serious injuries. today is an unprecedented opportunity to address the historic wrongs that have been created in gymnastics and to reform the sport that we love for the better.

and we hope that today is going to bring about various recommendations that will be acted on by uk sport, sport england and british gymnastics to improve training conditions and competition conditions for gymnasts in the future. it is expected today's 300 page report will make wide—ranging recommendations for reform. this could be gymnastics's day of reckoning. the most controversial golf major for years gets underway today, the us open, with players who've joined the breakaway saudi backed liv tour, allowed to compete in the event, despite being banned, from pga tour competitions. phil mickelson , dustinjohnson , and patrick reed, are among the rebel golfers who will be teeing off at brooklyne today. they'll be rubbing shoulders with others who insist they haven't been tempted by the most lucrative, money spinning tournament in golf history, and are sticking

with the pga tour. i'm trying to focus on the us open. i'm trying to focus on the us open. i legitimately don't get it. i'm tired of the conversations and all of this stuff. i guess you are throwing a black cloud on the us open and i think that sucks. now tennis, and after all the tough years, for britain's katie boulter with injury and illness, what a week it's been, at the birmingham classic. on tuesday, she recorded the biggest win of her career, knocking out second seed alison riske in the first round. yesterday the world number 141, saw off caroline garcia of france, in another straight sets victory. next up simona halep, so it doesn't get tougher than that. bill next up simona halep, so it doesn't get tougher than that.— get tougher than that. all about momentum- — get tougher than that. all about momentum. there's _ get tougher than that. all about momentum. there's been - get tougher than that. all about momentum. there's been years get tougher than that. all about i momentum. there's been years of turmoil and _ momentum. there's been years of turmoil and injury _ momentum. there's been years of turmoil and injury and _ momentum. there's been years of turmoil and injury and illness - momentum. there's been years of turmoil and injury and illness and l turmoil and injury and illness and you battle through battle through and you get your rewards. ~ , . . , , , as we've been hearing, it's going to be a hot couple of days — which will of course encourage people to head outside,

possibly in wales and the midlands. temperatures between 14 and the north and 28 as we push down to the south. through the evening and overnight we hang onto the cloud across northern ireland and the weather from the atlantic brings in heavy rain on the breeze will also pick up whereas for scotland and northern england into the midlands towards the south and wales, we hang on to clear skies but by the end of the night we will find more cloud coming across south—west england and the coast of wales and it will not be a cold night, so not a cold start of the day but it will be wet across scotland and northern ireland and that rain will push into northern england and north west wales and it will be weak as it does so and it will be weak as it does so and it will brighten up with a few showers in the north but it will be the heat across england and wales that will be the story. widely we are looking at the high 20s and we could locally see 31 or 32 and in the south—east we might see 33 or possibly more but

as we head to the beach it's worth noting that across the south—west and wales there will be more cloud coming in through the course of the day and pollen levels once again today foremost, they are high or very high away from the far north of scotland. . it very high away from the far north of scotland. :, :, «a very high away from the far north of scotland. :, :, ,:, :, :, :, scotland. , it looks so good out there. scotland. , it looks so good out there- l'm _ scotland. , it looks so good out there. i'm sure _ scotland. , it looks so good out there. i'm sure you _ scotland. , it looks so good out there. i'm sure you will- scotland. , it looks so good out there. i'm sure you will tell i scotland. , it looks so good out there. i'm sure you will tell me| scotland. , it looks so good out i there. i'm sure you will tell me off for remembering this but i thought you were going to have four hats. i you were going to have four hats. i was but we decided to stick with three. less is more but can i show you the back of this one? i three. less is more but can i show you the back of this one?- you the back of this one? i always think the back _ you the back of this one? i always think the back of _ you the back of this one? i always think the back of your _ you the back of this one? i always think the back of your head - you the back of this one? i always think the back of your head looks | think the back of your head looks much better. i think the back of your head looks much better-— much better. i know, ithoughti would do that _ much better. i know, ithoughti would do that for— much better. i know, ithoughti would do that for you, _ much better. i know, ithoughti would do that for you, just - much better. i know, ithoughti would do that for you, just get i much better. i know, ithought ii would do that for you, just get rid of my face. would do that for you, 'ust get rid of my face.— of my face. carol, i love you. i will be scared _ of my face. carol, i love you. i will be scared to _ of my face. carol, i love you. i will be scared to see _ of my face. carol, i love you. i will be scared to see you - of my face. carol, i love you. i j will be scared to see you next. of my face. carol, i love you. i i will be scared to see you next. but it is beautiful, absolutely stunning. an audible ouch there. as soon as i said that, the guests, bananarama went, 0. brutal. you only
