6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the uk's rate of inflation is expected to rise once again when official figures are released in an hour's time. i'm here in london's new covent garden market to find out how rising prices are affecting traders here. talks will take place later to try to resolve the rail dispute but the disruption continues with only 60% of services running today. good morning, she's still got it. serena williams after a year away from tennis makes a winning return in the doubles at eastbourne as she warms up for wimbledon.
6:01 am
and after a break of three years, glastonbury opens its gates to festivalgoers this morning. good morning for the tower of london. we are here for the super bloom display in order of the platinumjubilee. sunny, dry bloom display in order of the platinum jubilee. sunny, dry and platinumjubilee. sunny, dry and warm platinum jubilee. sunny, dry and warm foremost, platinumjubilee. sunny, dry and warm foremost, more platinum jubilee. sunny, dry and warm foremost, more clout in the north and west. it's wednesday the 22nd ofjune. our main story. the uk's rate of inflation is expected to rise once again when the latest figures are released this morning. in april, inflation rose to 9%, its highest in a0 years, as the increasing costs of energy, fuel and food continues to squeeze household budgets. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. if i haven't got the money, i can't eat. you see lots of things that are on cheap, we buy
6:02 am
them and freeze them. definitely shopping around, looking for what's cheaper and where. - it's here in the supermarket aisles you get a taste of how the rising cost of living is starting to bite. we buy less and we buy cheaper products, unfortunately. we can't usually afford to buy all the named product staff so we have to go and buy the essential stuff. if they're not going to give us the wage rises, we can't compete with inflation, we're suffering. at britain's third biggest grocer, they know that their customers are feeling the pain as well. people are trading back, they're worried about spending, they've got a limit that they set out to, they say £30 is my limit and if they gets more than £30, that's it, stop. it's the same with petrol. what we're seeing is massive change in behaviour. we haven't had significant inflation in this country for many, many years. i am of a generation that could remember what it was like last time. once it gets hold, it's quite pernicious and it takes a long time to eradicate so people are fearful. most supermarkets are in a battle to keep prices down. in the last month, asda has invested
6:03 am
nearly £100 million in price cuts. the squeeze is on. prices everywhere are heading in one direction at the moment. the bank of england warned last week that inflation could hit 11% by the autumn. the challenge is how to bring the cost of living down without tipping the economy into recession. this retail veteran thinks policymakers are slow to act. so what's rather sad is, the country, the government, perhaps the bank of england, didn't see inflation coming quickly. they have now recognised that. i did point out last year, and i wasn't the only one, that at the end of covid there was a train coming down the tunnel and the train had a big flashing light on the top and that flashing light said, inflation, inflation, inflation. and we just sort of said, well, maybe the train willjust go through. he doesn't want to predict where it will stop, but he would like to see more government help for those most in need. emma simpson, bbc news, stevenage.
6:04 am
nina's at the uk's largest wholesale market for fruit, veg and flowers, in central london. she is at new covent garden. how is it looking there? everything we see in those boxes will be passed to consumers and the prices seem to be going up all the time. figs consumers and the prices seem to be going up all the time.— going up all the time. as you heard in that report. _ going up all the time. as you heard in that report, the _ going up all the time. as you heard in that report, the challenge - going up all the time. as you heard in that report, the challenge is - in that report, the challenge is what the government and the bank of england can do to fight inflation. new covent garden is a massive trading point. the wholesale traders are keeping a keen eye on inflation figures as they are released at 7am because it is what it costs them which they then have to pass to consumers. we get a much clearer sense of where we are when it comes to inflation then. let's remind ourselves of what happened in april, we learned inflation had hit 9% there, a a0 year high, we know what happened in april, household bills went up, the increased price of
6:05 am
energy went and had hit on the cost of living. last week the bank of england said we have to do something about this, they increased interest rates to i.25%. historically it isn't that high, but it represented the fifth incremental increase in row. so people are less likely to spend and more likely to save and hopefully that will curb inflation. that can take a long time to kick in. the bank of england conceded that it might not be enough. their in—house predictions are that inflation reaches 11% towards the end of the year. we know that in october we are going to see another increase in energy bills, global prices are expected to go up and we will all be paying a little bit more. the government says it has plans to mitigate this. we found out about the £a00 universal payment going to every household and those on benefits get an extra £650. we
6:06 am
are already seeing some interesting changes to how we behave. the way that we shop. grocery inflation has reached 8.3% over the last four weeks, the highest in 13 years. we are seeing sales of branded products come down by 1% and own brand products go in up by 2.9%, researchers tell us. discount retailers are getting strong performance as we look for cheaper prices. prediction is that inflation will tape an hour, maybe go up to about 9.1% but that it is still an increase and we will have an update just after 7am. we increase and we will have an update just after 7am-— just after 7am. we will be back with ou for just after 7am. we will be back with you for those _ just after 7am. we will be back with you for those figures, _ just after 7am. we will be back with you for those figures, thank - just after 7am. we will be back with you for those figures, thank you. i train services will continue to be disrupted this morning following yesterday's strike action despite no walk—outs taking place today. talks between network rail and the rmt union will take place today but tomorrow's action is likely to go ahead anyway
6:07 am
and rail bosses say today's services will be "thinner" than usual. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has more on this. the first day of rail strikes may be over but the problems are not. today is a just 2a—hour breather before more strikes planned for tomorrow and saturday. while the full rail network is technically operational today, it's far from a normal day on the tracks. trains are in the wrong place, staff are starting later than usual, and trains that usually leave depots at 3am didn't begin to move until five. that means 6000 of today's usual services will not even leave the sidings. so it's more headaches for passengers with plenty already feeling frustrated. it took me, like, four hours to get to here. it's an absolute joke, mate, you know what i mean? there are further problems for bus passengers across yorkshire as the arriva bus strike continues, leaving even fewer public transport options. i think they deserve it but can
6:08 am
we afford to give everybody a raise? it's better news for london commuters as the tube strike is finished but services don't begin until rush hour and passengers are being told not to expect a normal service until mid—morning. so, is there an end in sight? the rhetoric doesn't sound positive. the government called the strikes are necessary aggravations and rail the government called the strikes unnecessary aggravations and rail bosses say they need big modernisations before they can offer higher pay. which unions object to. we are modern, we are always prepared to change. we use some of the most high—tech technology going, with some of the most flexible workers in any industry. we work 2a/7, around the clock, seven days a week, in all types of shifts. what the government wants to do is to cut its wage bill in order to protect the profits of the private companies in our industry who have been stripping out millions and billions in fact. and we don't think that's modern. a fresh round of talks begins this morning.
6:09 am
a deal today could be in time to prevent the third strike planned for saturday, but not to stop more disruption today and tomorrow. colletta smith, bbc news. kathryn stanczyszyn is at birmingham new street station for us. let's talk about how things are looking. not a strike day to day, but still not normal, kathryn? yes. but still not normal, kathryn? yes, normally bustling _ but still not normal, kathryn? yes, normally bustling station _ but still not normal, kathryn? 1a: normally bustling station concourses like this one were virtually deserted yesterday but there is still going to be disruption today. this station, one of the main rail interchanges in the country does not open until 7am and there have already been people coming here today saying they have got tickets for a train at 6:35am. this is a
6:10 am
bridging day between two days of strike action but it will be nowhere near normal. that's partly because of the latest out that many services are going to have —— later start that huge numbers of services have got to have. signal and control room staff have been overnight and i do not start until this morning so it takes a long time to get the trains from the depot to the start point. that's not quite as much of an issue in places like london where the distance is shorter but for some remote locations, network rail says it could take up to four hours to get in there. exacerbated in the west midlands because we have got the chiltern railways closure, the line between birmingham and london is closed for four days of engineering work at the moment. all over the country today services are going to be thinner, many people may have already decided to work from home but many cannot. the advice to them is to very much plan ahead and be aware that it might take them longer to get to their destination.
6:11 am
thank you, kathryn, you are going to have tonnes of people coming up to you as you stand there wanting guidance about where the services are going. guidance about where the services are anoin. �* ., , guidance about where the services are anoin.�* . , ., ,, guidance about where the services are going-— i i guidance about where the servicesl are going-— i bet are going. already happening! i bet it is! thank you. _ as we've been hearing, it's going to be another difficult morning for many train passengers because of the knock—on effects of the strike. with only 60 % of trains running. yesterday saw millions ofjourneys disrupted, businesses losing out, tourists left stranded and "working from home" making a big comeback as breakfast'sjohn maguire reports. deserted platforms, picket lines, and a paucity of services. this was the picture across the rail network on day one of the strikes. in surrey, farncombe station should be packed with commuters heading into london. the coffee shop would normally be buzzing. instead, they were bored. for us, it's disastrous.
6:12 am
we got a big hit from thejubilee, people weren't travelling, it was a very long weekend. 70% of our business is from communities and if we haven't got 70% of our business is from commuters and if we haven't got that then literally, as you can see, we are making coffee for ourselves and twiddling our thumbs a little bit. we are a coffee shop and it's a huge, huge impact. it is quite soul destroying, to be really honest. not everyone stayed away. birmingham new street is normally one of the busiest, a hub for trains crisscrossing the country. some chose, or were forced to travel despite the warnings. most sought alternatives. by rail, cornwall was cut off as the main link to the county across the royal albert bridge fell silent. plan ahead was the advice, but not everyone had, and here in st austell, some were bemused and confused. i'm just coming from a night shift.
6:13 am
i have to get home, get ready for work tonight again. but i don't know my way around, i don't know where to get a bus. so i'm travelling from dublin, and i get here off the irish ferries and i found out that the trains are cancelled. confusion too in north wales for an american wanderer trying to get to london. i was shocked. i feel like for me being an international traveller, i had no idea that a strike like this was happening. i don't know the reason why behind the strike happening, or anything about it. so now i feel a little screwed over in a way, having no family, no friends here in the country, i don't know what i'm going to do. so this is my work set up, i've got my laptop and my books here, and i've got the coffee and tea maker... we spoke to sarah monday morning, an a—level student who normally takes the train to school but during this exam week is staying in a hotel. it's going quite well, i texted yesterday, and it kind of got rid of the stress of this morning for my exam this morning.
6:14 am
yeah, i'm a bit worried about thursday because i'm going to have to check out and then try and figure out something to do with my bag and then go to my exam. but hopefully i'll be able to figure that out then. katie works for an insurance broker in london but had to return, reluctantly, to working from home for the day. it's a real shame because we have recently started going back into london again. there is an expectation to try and get into the office two or three times a week, and i agree with that, it's great to connect with colleagues etc. and we've just got back into the flow of that again, and now it's all going to grind to a halt _ i think this week willjust be the beginning of more strikes. in yorkshire, a bus strike has hit trade at sarah's fabric shop in selby and she fears less trains will make matters even worse. i think if it carries on beyond the end of summer, beginning of autumn, then, yeah, i think it's going to be a lot of businesses
6:15 am
that go out of business. more so now than what they did during the pandemic. a sobering thought but an indication ofjust how disruptive and damaging this dispute is proving to be. john maguire, bbc news. proposals to change the human rights acts are going before parliament. the change, if approved, would allow the government to ignore orders made by the european court of human rights, like its recent block on sending asylum seekers to rwanda. critics say the proposals would hand more power to ministers but deputy prime minister dominic raab defended the plan. we want to strengthen the separation of powers. we are proud of ourjudiciary, they should apply the law without fear or favour. but when the goalposts shift and when legislation is effectively what is happening through court interpretations, that must be done subject to the accountability of parliament. this will help us deport more foreign national offenders, deliver our parole reform so we can better protect the public,
6:16 am
and do other things like protect our counterterrorism strategy within prisons where sometimes we do need to isolate dangerous offenders. every uk household is paying an average of £9a on their energy bill to cover the cost of the 28 energy suppliers which collapsed after wholesale gas prices soared. the national audit office says the combined cost of the failures was £2.7 billion and that the energy watchdog 0fgem was partly at fault for allowing a market that was vulnerable to large shocks. we found that 0fgem's approach in recent years could increase the cost of energy supplier failures and the risk that energy suppliers would fail. 0fgem took what it termed a low—bar approach to regulating energy suppliers where it encouraged new entrants into the market to increase competition and innovation, and there were over 70 new energy suppliers that
6:17 am
entered the market in 2010. entered the market since 2010. but 0fgem applied very little scrutiny to those new entrants into the market. a spokesman for 0fgem said the watchdog is working to address the issues. the primary school in texas where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers last month is to be demolished. the mayor of uvalde says it wouldn't be right to ask children or teachers to return to robb elementary school. public anger has risen since the massacre, with police accused of waiting more than an hour to confront the assailant. the ukrainian authorities have confirmed that russian forces have captured a key front line village in the eastern region of luhansk. after weeks of intensive fighting, the loss of toshkivka gives russia a further foothold in the area. 0ur correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. good morning. how serious setback is for ukraine? i
6:18 am

6:19 am
everything at this, putting all of their forces into severodonetsk, everything at this, putting all of theirforces into severodonetsk, and we understand the ukrainians are holding on there but onlyjust, they have got one little factory foothold left in the city. and they are trying to hold on but it will be very difficult.— trying to hold on but it will be ve difficult. ., ~ , ., , . very difficult. thank you very much, joe very difficult. thank you very much, joe inwood. — very difficult. thank you very much, joe inwood. in _ very difficult. thank you very much, joe inwood, in kyiv. _ a few months ago we had sarah campbell at the tower of london and they were planting millions of seeds, to bloom this summer, at the tower of london. it was for the jubilee. we have sent carol to the tower this morning.— tower this morning. surely not to the tower! _ tower this morning. surely not to the tower! look— tower this morning. surely not to the tower! look how _ tower this morning. surely not to the tower! look how they - tower this morning. surely not to the tower! look how they have i tower this morning. surely not to i the tower! look how they have grown! they are stunning. good morning, as you rightly said, jon, this super bloom display has been planted in honour of her majesty the queen's platinumjubilee, 20 million honour of her majesty the queen's platinum jubilee, 20 million seeds planted, and it is an evolving
6:20 am
display. through the summer other plants will come out like sunflowers. there are some poppies in there. this is a nod to the poppy display that was here at the tower in 201a. the sun is shining nicely on them, a pleasant start to the day, the forecast for today is sunny and warm. first thing this morning we have a bit of low cloud and some... that will tend to melt away. also some showers in the channel islands. they will fade through the morning. for most of us, dry, sunny and warm. except for parts of northern and western scotland and northern ireland, a bit more drizzle coming out of that. temperatures today ranging from about 13 in lerwick to 27 in birmingham and london. the evening and overnight period, we will see some showers
6:21 am
crossing the english channel across the channel islands, clipping the south—east coast of england. a lot of dry weather around, patchy mist once again, that cloud across parts of northern and western scotland and northern ireland. that will be with us tomorrow as well. tomorrow we are looking a lot of dry weather, some showers coming up from the english channel, moving north towards the in —— midlands. some could be heavy and thundery. tomorrow's highs are likely to be across the north of england and the north midlands, we could see 28 or 29 degrees. we are not done with the very warm weather just yet. thank you, that looks glorious. i was a bit doubtful when all that mud and seeds were there, that the flowers that appear but it is great! let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the guardian looks at the proposals to change the human rights act, which go before parliament later.
6:22 am
the paper quotes campaigners and lawyers who say the bill will "fatally weaken human rights" though ministers say the proposed changes will "ensure tougher legal tests". pictures of deserted railway stations fill many of the front pages following yesterday's strike. the sun says the industrial action represents a return to the "class war" of the 19705. the daily telegraph reports that state pensions and benefits are set to rise in line with double—digit inflation despite the government telling rail workers to accept cuts. and the times investigates whether good balance could be linked to living longer. it looks at a study published in the britishjournal of sports medicine, which suggests that people over the age of 50 who cannot stand on one leg for ten seconds were almost twice as likely to die within a decade. don't look at me, sally! have you tried it? i'm _ don't look at me, sally! have you tried it? i'm not— don't look at me, sally! have you tried it? i'm not sure _ don't look at me, sally! have you tried it? i'm not sure i _ don't look at me, sally! have you tried it? i'm not sure i want i don't look at me, sally! have you

6:24 am
hosts welsh schools, but it's ukrainian children who have been living, learning and loving here. and laughing here. 0lena and kateryna arrived just a fortnight ago, escaping the life where their children had to hide in basement. everyone is so friendly. it's a big family here. yeah, i don't know everyone's name but there seems like, so close, it's just amazing. it feels like home. completely happy, both of my kids, they're just playing, they go to school every day. we travel, like, every week. so they're extremely happy. they feel safe here. for the children, there are daily lessons in english and welsh, and a world of activities. so their parents can concentrate on finding work, accessing benefits, and figuring out where they go next. it's more than a hotel experience. it's important that there
6:25 am
is an element of respite, tranquillity, when people are coming out of a very traumatic time of their lives. support for the parents, so have other people looking after the children, making sure they're active. the first refugees started arriving here in april. by now, there's over 220 adults and children, the youngestjust eight months old. this was only ever a temporary solution. the aim is to try and move all of the families on within the next month. in all, the welsh government directly sponsored nearly 2500 people to come to wales, most are yet to arrive so the scheme has been paused to move people on from welcome centres. it is now a challenge to make sure that we are able to get a flow out of the welcome centres, to free up more spaces for people to arrive. the next few weeks is about getting that balance. we have to be able to get the flow out of the centre and then we will create spaces and we can
6:26 am
open the scheme up and welcome more people into wales. we never expected that hospitality and that welcome. marta is one of many waiting to hear where she, her daughter and two grandchildren go next. but she says she isn't worried. her only fear is for the family she has left behind. half of my heart is left in ukraine. it is my son, my daughter—in—law. but we are safe here. that is the most important thing for us. that sanctuary has brought some certainty and for these children, most of all, the freedom to have fun again. hywel griffiths, bbc news. that looks like fun. lovely to see. 26 minutes _ that looks like fun. lovely to see. 26 minutes past _ that looks like fun. lovely to see. 26 minutes past six. _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:27 am
hello and good morning. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as strike action still affects our tube and rail networks this morning, londoners are being warned not to travel until later on. around 60% of services will run today. 0ur transport correspondent tom edwards sent this there won't be any tubes until eight o'clock this morning, and on the trains, what the bosses there are saying is they won't be able to run anything until 7.30. and some stations on the network won't open until eight o'clock. they're still only going to be able to run a sunday service. that's about 60% of trains. the advice there hasn't changed. don't travel on the trains unless it's absolutely necessary. the rmt union is due to meet train companies for talks to try and resolve its dispute. if they fail again today, national rail strike are due to start again at midnight. staying with the tubes,
6:28 am
if you do have to head out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking. as we've been saying, lots of problems out there, so do check before you travel. an action—packed metropolitan police recruitment video has been criticised as not giving an accurate impression of life in the force. ken marsh, the head of the met police federation, said it would realistically take a new recruit years to get to the �*elite' level of policing. in response, the met says the scenes gave a realistic flavour of the different activities officers carried out in their day—to—day jobs. plans to demolish the marks and spencer flagship store on oxford street, are being reviewed by the government. there's been growing opposition to the proposals to replace the 1930s art deco building with a smaller store and more offices. m&s says it's bewildered and disappointed at the decision. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we're in for another
6:29 am
day of warm sunshine. high pressure is still in charge. you can see the fronts staying down to the south for now. now, the wind is light today. uv levels, of course, are high, the pollen count high, and the temperature in all this sunshine is also going to be high. we're looking at a maximum of 27 celsius later on this afternoon. it's going to be a warm evening as well. plenty of sunshine before it sets. and then overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the minimum temperature somewhere between ten and ia celsius. so a mild night, especially in central london. so another bright start, as we head into thursday. but those fronts just gradually start to move north as the high pressure starts to slip away towards the east. so these showers coming up, and more cloud coming up from the south. those showers could be quite sharp. you might even hear a rumble or two of thunder tomorrow. we've still got some decent spells of sunshine, though, and temperatures still managing the mid 20s, around 25 celsius. now as we head into friday, low pressure takes over.
6:30 am
still a shower risk on friday. the wind starts to strengthen as well. and you'll notice through friday and the weekend, the temperature much cooler. that's it from me. i'm backjust before seven. until then, enjoy your morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on this morning's programme... we'll hear about the so—called upskirting videos which are being shared openly on facebook, but the social media giant initially refused to take down. we'll meet the man who survived stage three liver cancer as a child, and was so inspired by the medical staff who cared for him, that he's now a junior doctor. and at last — glastonbury is celebrating its 50th birthday this weekend, three years late. we'll be chatting to some of the first guests to arrive as the gates open at eight o'clock this morning.
6:31 am
the uk's rate of inflation is expected to rise again today, increasing fears of a looming recession. most of us already know how that feels, because we lived through one in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2009. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been to catch up with four of the people she met during that crisis, to see how they've coped since, and how they feel about another potential economic slump. a day of turmoil on the world's financial markets. this was the great recession, a banking crash. a credit crunch, unemployment, stagnation. the action we are taking is unprecedented, but essential for all of us. back in 09, the bbc spent a year following a group of people as they navigated their way
6:32 am
through the worst slump since the 1930s. today, as commentators predict another recession could be on the way, we track them back down. hello, stranger. how are you? are we doing hugs? shall i show you your film? yeah. back in 09, we met a chip shop owner anne. she was gambling it all, trying to expand, while shops all around her closed. oh, my god, look at my hair! i look likejedward! the gamble paid off. today the coffee shop and chip shop is thriving, but inflation is the new crisis they face. and on social media, there has been a backlash. prices have gone up ridiculously. i mean, fish is nearly treble. mushy peas, probably about five or six times more than. and you can't pass all that on. somebody put this post on to say, i think they had meat pie, chips and curry,
6:33 am
and it was £6 something, and they thought it was extortionate. but other people were kind ofjoining in the conversation, because this is so real for so many people. yeah, there was 300 comments in an hour. they were talking about protesting outside the shop. it was awful. and i mean, my husband kind of says, "don't let it worry you." but when you're passionate about something, and you've been in business for as long as we have, and it's a family business, you know, it does hurt. inflation hurts everyone, even those in stable work. hello, stranger. how are you? all right. how are you? in 09, we watched jane's last day in woolworth s, one of the first high street giants to collapse. she was one of 700,000 to lose theirjob that year. you did a conga out the last woolworth store as the shutters came down. you know, we tried to keep our chin up so much. that was the first time you were unemployed in how many years? 24 years. yeah.
6:34 am
today she's doing well as an office manager in a private surgery, but still feeling the squeeze. you know, we've just had a holiday. and will we get another one? i don't know. but i'm more worried over my sons and their families. houses, big mortgages, you know, it's things like that that i worry about. there you go. this isjonathan, who today lives in spain, where inflation is lower, economic growth higher. hi! but in 09, he was a struggling estate agent. horrendous. absolutely appalling. it's never been as bad as it is now. we filmed as he was forced to sell his own dream home, as the recession bit. 30,000 quid we spent a landscape gardener. the money was pouring in at one time. it was terrible, because you had all these people you're employing and you knew you were going to have to let them all go. you knew you couldn't pay the bills. my quality of life now is so much
6:35 am
better than it was then. in manchester we were paying, i think, about £2,500 a year for the council tax here. here, it's 500 euros a year. here, i can quite happily go out with 30 euros and have a night out, you know. it's looking like the right move then? and of course its warm all the time. oh, god, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. inflation here in the uk is amongst the worst in western europe and the g20. hi! how are you? good, thank you. how are you? good to see you. in 09, we'd watched balla open her dream chocolate shop and cafe. am i brave orfoolish? and there's a very fine line, ithink, between being brave and foolish. within 18 months, that dream was dead. it's heartbreaking, really. it's really, really sad to find that it didn't work out. today, this is what remains of the original cafe. is this the original sign, by the way? yep, yeah. i couldn't let go of that.
6:36 am
since then, she's fought her way back as an online retailer. but she says one thing is making the current squeeze even harder. and that is the b—word. brexit! i've actually stopped exporting, because it was so confusing in terms of customs and what we needed to do. we were sending lots to the us, to singapore, to japan, and ijust stopped, because i thought, it's not worth the risk. what proportion of your business do you think you lost? 30% possibly. that's huge. yeah, that is a huge percentage. when you look at the numbers and you think, what's going on and where is it going to go, and how are we going to manage this? but we do. you do? yeah. 0nwards. 0nwards and upwards. 0nwards! they faced a global recession, a global pandemic. now the big squeeze. whatever lies ahead... trying not to do a fake smile! ..they face it with a resilience born of experience. chat to you in another decade. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

since slipping in the first round of wimbledon last year, and hobbling off centre court. but after 358 days away, she made her hotly anticipated return, playing doubles on the sunny south coast, complete with facial plasters. there were signs of rustiness, yes. slips... ..and strikes too. but then the comeback within the comeback. she and her partner, ons jabeur, clinching what had looked an unlikely victory. did she ever doubt she'd get back to this point? absolutely. for sure. i would be dishonest if i said it wasn't. but, yeah. and now, ijust — my body feels great. i mean, it's doubles, i'm only playing half of the court. but i'm doing a lot of training, and so it definitely feels good. not perhaps a win of old, but a win nonetheless, with wimbledon just days away. serena isn't going there to make up the numbers, though she'll need to be slicker
6:44 am
if she's ever to achieve that record—equalling 2ath grand slam win. laura scott, bbc news, eastbourne. well, the british players also put on a show. we were hearing yesterday aboutjodie burrage's first round performance. but this one was even better. the world 169 beat top seed paula badosa in straight sets. that's the two biggest wins of her career, in two days for the 23—year old. not to be outdone, katie boulter also won against a top ten opponent for the first time, beating last year's wimbledon finalist karolina pliskova. boulter was a wildcard for the tournament, but managed to come from a set down to take victory. you know, i went out there. i didn't feel great on the court, and i worked so hard to get out there and battle and fight, and against a player like that, it means so much to me coming through that. i think ijust tried to stay with her on serve. she was serving well. i had a lot of opportunities
6:45 am
in the first set, even though it was quite quick. i think i had a few ao—i5s, which i let go of, and i think that's what make the difference closing out games and staying with her as much as i could. another briton is also through — dan evans with a 6—a, 6—3 winner over france's adrian mannarino. he'll take on american maxime cressy today. and ryan peniston's great run on grass continues — he's into the last 16. the wildcard, who reached the quarter finals at queen's last week, came from a set behind to beat french open quarter finalist holger rune. anthonyjoshua has been telling boxing fans he will be heavyweight world champion again. he called himself the comeback king as he prepares to win back the belts he lost in his defeat to the ukrainian boxer oleksander usyk last year, who's since been fighting in his homeland, as they prepare to meet again in august. definitely the hunger's still there. as i always said from the get go, stay hungry. just keep the motivation high. blips happen, things happen in life.
6:46 am
but resilience, mental toughness, consistency will always prevail. so we're still on the road. still on the road to undisputed for sure. and it'sjust a little blip in the road. but i'm focused on the target, which is sitting over there. i'm focused on the goal, and god willing, i'll perform and i'll become three—time heavyweight champion of the world. that fight will be controversially taking place injeddah, and the saudi arabian—backed liv golf series are now expected to make another big move. four—time major champion brooks koepka is set to join the field, in the second event of the series that's shaken up the golfing world. he'd link up with the likes of dustinjohnson and bryson dechambeau in portland next week. the pga has suspended those who've joined the new tour. romelu lukaku's return to english football will be a brief one. afterjust one largely unsuccessful season at chelsea, the belgian striker is heading back to italy to play for inter milan —
6:47 am
the club he left for stamford bridge for nearly £100 million just 12 months ago. he's leaving on loan, so could still play for chelsea again in the future. he scored 15 goals. let's do the maths. that is £6.5 million a goal. is he good value for money? for that value of goal. — is he good value for money? for that value of goal, you'd _ is he good value for money? for that value of goal, you'd be _ is he good value for money? for that value of goal, you'd be expecting - is he good value for money? for that value of goal, you'd be expecting a i value of goal, you'd be expecting a goalfrom your own half, or something particularly spectacular for that money. it was never going to work, was it? it was never going to work, was it? it was never going to work, was it? it was a lot of pressure, a big fee. expected today to deliver and didn't. , ., . ~ , ., let's see how the weather is looking. carol has the details — and she's out and about this morning. that is the tower of london, can you
6:48 am
believe? good morning. sally is right. it is the most beautiful location. and it is stunning. 20 million seeds —— seeds have been planted here since march. and look at them. if only my garden looked like this. mine is more likely sahara desert. it has got a lot of the sahara desert enid at the moment because we saw that at the weekend. lots of different flowers. puppies, cornflowers, marigolds, daisies and the blue cornflowers, a nod to when this was a moat with water in it. the blue, of course, indicating the colour of the water. it is in honour of her majesty's platinum jubilee this year. you can see the extent all the way around the tower. one side has got red and pink, it evolves through the blues come all the whites and yellows, to the oranges. we continue to show you this kaleidoscope as we go through
6:49 am
the morning. sunny and warm in london. the forecast for today is just that. it is going to be sunny and warm for most of us. we have also got a weather front which is just affecting the channel islands at the moment, bringing in some showers. the other thing is there is some patchy missed two and fog. —— mist. that will tend to fade away as we go through the morning as well the showers. high pressure is firmly in charge. the exception to that is where we have got a bit more cloud in the north and west of scotland. and also, northern ireland. we could just see the odd piece of drizzle. the cloud should break, especially in eastern parts of northern england and also across northern ireland. temperatures today up to 27 degrees in birmingham and london. about 12 or 13 in the far north of scotland. as we head into this evening and overnight, once again we still have that cloud across parts of scotland and northern ireland. we see some patchy mist form, clear skies and
6:50 am
the showers across the channel islands, just clipping the far south—east coastal england. temperatures are very similar to last night. so roughly about ten to 15 degrees. into tomorrow, still a lot of dry weather. still a lot of sunshine. stilla lot of dry weather. still a lot of sunshine. still a bit more cloud my graphic in parts of northern and western scotland, and also northern ireland. some brighter breaks. you can see the showers which come overnight were in the english channel, moving steadily northwards. some of those could be heavy and hungry. tomorrow's top temperatures are likely to be in the north midlands, 28 or 29 degrees, but for many it is still going to be a warm day. as we head into the evening and overnight those showers might push northwards. they will be heaviest in parts of northern england and scotland, where they could also be quite hungry. that will continue during friday. later on on friday we have got a weather front coming in across northern ireland and south—west england. that would bring more persistent rain and a stronger wind. away from all of that, there
6:51 am
will be some sunshine. temperatures into the mid 20s. it is after that low pressure takes charge of our weather and it turns cooler, windier, wetter and we are unsettled. u nsettled. unsettled. —— more unsettled, generally. unsettled. -- more unsettled, aenerall . . ., -- more unsettled, generally. carol, thank ou -- more unsettled, generally. carol, thank you very _ -- more unsettled, generally. carol, thank you very much _ -- more unsettled, generally. carol, thank you very much indeed. - —— more unsettled, generally.

6:53 am
in salford, paul heaton and jacqui abbott are rehearsing for their friday night headline slot on the acoustic stage, which was originally meant to happen in 2020. well, i was in my fifties then, and i'm not any more, and ifeel as though people missed out on two years of my lovely looks! he first played glastonbury with the housemartins in 1986, and believes the festival is a special place. it's the west country wembley! can ijust claim that? i have just coined the west country wembley. it's people who go there not just to see one band. they go to see as much as they can cram in. and that really helps. and that's the idea of glastonbury is, you know — "why are you going to glastonbury?" "oh, ijust want to see him or her" — do you know what i mean? you never got that response. it's, "i'm going to camp, i'm going to make a weekend of it. i'm seeing so—and—so
6:54 am
on the sunday morning, so—and—so on the sat..." that's what makes it. and jacqui abbott says that the three year gap between glastonburys has added to the anticipation. as soon as you say it to anybody else, friends or family, they're like, "oh, glastonbury." it's got that thing where it evokes people going, "ah!" they immediately follow it with, "have you got free tickets? can we get in with you?" # promise me this. # take me tonight.# in northamptonshire, a father and daughter team are preparing to return to glastonbury with their food stalls. so what was on those pallets? we had one pallet of falafel, and the other one was a pallet of hummus. falafel and hummus — those might be the most glastonbury pallets of all time. well, quite possibly. hopefully they'll go.
6:55 am
dad peter first worked at the festival 30 years ago. the last couple of years have not been easy ones. virtually no financial support. so reallyjust other work, but nothing along the outdoor catering line. what did you end up doing instead? some building work. right. it's quite a difference. yeah, it's quite a difference, yeah. during the enforced downtime, daughter freya spent 300 hours painting their new stall front, which will be seen just to the left of the other stage. she also had to seek alternative employment. we've had to find other things to do. i found work in a supermarket. i've only ever really worked for dad. so how much of a relief is it? it is a relief. i feel like it's much more my calling than a supermarket. are you good at stacking the shelves though? iam. but i have had plenty of practice here with hummus, so...! and there is much excitement for one couple in york. andrew and ashley peace had a glastonbury—themed wedding last
6:56 am
year, and were supposed to head to the festival for their honeymoon. twelve months later, they can finally go. i'm like a child in december when you count down the days. so when it got tojune, i started chalking the days off. so we're nearly there now, and just... it's been a long wait, hasn't it? yeah. and pray the weather gods with us. and ashley used the delay to get her own lasting glastonbury tribute. i have my new tattoo of the pyramid stage, and you can see the crowd there as well. what made you want to get that? just because i love it so much. it'sjust going to be a lasting reminder of the place that i absolutely love most in the world, really. the first dance at their wedding was the beatles' all you need is love. so it's no surprise that on saturday night, they'll be heading to the pyramid stage for paul mccartney. incredibly excited. we both absolutely adore macca. so he is one of the highlights that i really want to see over the weekend. # in this ever changing world in which we live in.#

7:00 am
that's about 60% of trains. the advice there hasn't changed. don't travel on the trains unless it's absolutely necessary. staying with the tubes, if you do have to head out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking. as we've been saying almost all lines are affected this morning, so do check before you travel. a national monment paying tribute to the windrush generation will be unveilled in london later today. the statue, designed byjamaican sculptor basil watson will be opened at waterloo station. the installation has been designed to be a permanent place of reflection and inspiration. it's 20 years since the harry potter franchise came to life and that anniverary is being celebrated at warner brothers studios in leavesden. it's created a permanent new expansion of professor sprouts greenhouse. harry potter star tom felton went to visit. we are the first of many, hopefully, to stand
7:01 am
in professor sprout�*s greenhouse. ifirst stood in here literally almost 20 years ago to the day, shooting in here. so it's amazing that it's back exactly as it was the day that ifirst walked in here. i remember being told off. i think we delayed proceedings quite heavily, because it was so much fun. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we're in for another day of warm sunshine. high pressure is still in charge. you can see the fronts staying down to the south for now. now, the wind is light today. uv levels, of course, are high, the pollen count high, and the temperature in all this sunshine is also going to be high. we're looking at a maximum of 27 celsius later on this afternoon. it's going to be a warm evening as well. plenty of sunshine before it sets. and then overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the minimum temperature somewhere
7:02 am
between ten and ia celsius. so a mild night, especially in central london. so another bright start, as we head into thursday. but those fronts just gradually start to move north as the high pressure starts to slip away towards the east. so these showers coming up, and more cloud coming up from the south. those showers could be quite sharp. you might even hear a rumble or two of thunder tomorrow. we've still got some decent spells of sunshine, though, and temperatures still managing the mid 20s, around 25 celsius. now as we head into friday, low pressure takes over. still a shower risk on friday. the wind starts to strengthen as well. and you'll notice through friday and the weekend, the temperature much cooler. that;s it from me. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. withjon kay and sally nugent. the uk's rate of inflation

spectacular and in honour of her majesty the queen is platinum jubilee. the forecast for most of us is sunny, dry and warm, a bit drier in the north and west. —— a bit more clout in the north and west. it's wednesday the 22nd ofjune. our main story. our top story is some news that has broken in the last couple of minutes. the uk's latest rate of inflation has just been announced and it is 9.1 percent. that means the price we're paying for things like food, fuel and energy bills has gone up by 9.1 percent in the 12 months up to may. nina can tell us more, she's in central london. good she's in central london. morning. this is the mont may good morning. this is the month of may compared to the month of may last year, an increase in cost of 9.1%, thejump in april was 9%, it
7:05 am
isa 9.1%, thejump in april was 9%, it is a small increase, but still an increase. what it means is if you have not had a pay rise over those 12 months between last may and this may, your money is going 9.1% less file. you will undoubtedly be feeling that. that is having an impact on how workers are feeling —— as we saw with the strikes yesterday. the strikes that we are seeing this week, when you look at how much people being paid and people are losing money unless their wages are increasing to meet that, is that the shape of things to come? it is tougher workers, notjust the it is tougher workers, not just the fact that _ it is tougher workers, not just the fact that we have seen regular pay io fact that we have seen regular pay go down _ fact that we have seen regular pay go down by 2.2% when the prices are going _ go down by 2.2% when the prices are going up. _ go down by 2.2% when the prices are going up, but we have had ten years in which _ going up, but we have had ten years in which play has —— pay has flattined _ in which play has —— pay has flatlined and workers in the public sector— flatlined and workers in the public sector pay— flatlined and workers in the public sector pay has been going down and down _ sector pay has been going down and down its— sector pay has been going down and down. it's right that people should ask for— down. it's right that people should ask for a _ down. it's right that people should ask for a pay rise. the government should _ ask for a pay rise. the government should he — ask for a pay rise. the government should be supporting that by boosting the national living wage so

7:08 am
to most people who see those price rises at the petrol pumps and at the supermarket and feel it every day. we need to deal with some of the underlying pressures on inflation, so the supply issues especially in energy, and food. there are some things that government could do immediately to reduce some pressure on inflation, like cutting vat on our energy bills. something they said they wanted to do as part of leaving the european union but they have not done that, that will take some pressure out of inflation. but they also need to support families dealing with the cost of living crisis and we are not seeing enough of that. , ., _ ., , of that. they would say that they are doinu of that. they would say that they are doing that. _ of that. they would say that they are doing that. they _ of that. they would say that they are doing that. they have - of that. they would say that they are doing that. they have done l of that. they would say that they - are doing that. they have done some of it, belatedly. _ are doing that. they have done some of it, belatedly. following _ are doing that. they have done some of it, belatedly. following what - are doing that. they have done some of it, belatedly. following what we i of it, belatedly. following what we have been calling for four months, a windfall tax to support people with energy bills. there is more they can do yet, and businesses are feeling the pressure as well and businesses have not got much support from the government. the government need to

7:10 am
the moment. the government wanted to try to make these strikes about the labour party but these strikes sit on the lap of the government. the government have got the power to convene, to step in and stop these strikes from happening to ensure that there is a fair settlement for workers. they are not doing that and i'm not going to be drawn into their election campaign, which is to try and make it about the labour party. it's almost like they are gleeful. labour wants to be in government and i think it is a legitimate question, if you were in government, how would you handle it, what would you be doing? is it the case that keir starmer rates to see the embers of the party, frontbenchers like yourself and said, —— wrote to senior members of the party, and said, do not appear on picket lines? we are a government in waiting... did he tell you not to set out on picket lines? if did he tell you not to set out on picket lines?— did he tell you not to set out on picket lines? if you want to be a government _ picket lines? if you want to be a government in _ picket lines? if you want to be a government in waiting, - picket lines? if you want to be a government in waiting, you - picket lines? if you want to be a |

7:15 am
they were on strike last night and had not started until this morning which means a logistical push to get trains to where they are meant to be. that's ok if there is a small distance between the depot and the starting point, places like london not so affected, but other places network rail are saying could see times of about four hours to get trains to where they are meant to be. that is affecting everybody. about 60% of services overall are running up and down the country and we might see some early winding down as well tonight ahead of tomorrow's strike action. the advice is very much plan ahead today because it's certainly not back to normal. kathryn, thank you very much. two further days of industrial action are planned for tomorrow and saturday. talks between the two sides are ongoing and network rail�*s chief negotiator is tim shoveller. hejoins us now from north london. thank you forjoining us. let's start on the information people are going to need this morning. to try
7:16 am
to get around if they possibly can. how is the overall network looking from your point of view in terms of trains being in the right places to get back to something like normal? good morning. your correspondent in birmingham provided a really great summary, that's the situation we have now, the network is opening up, staff are coming into work and getting systems open as quickly as possible. but obviously, the railway network normally starts between 3:30am and llam, to provide peak services that customers expect from 6am. so if staff are coming in at 6am, we are three hours behind where we would normally be. so it will take until mid morning before services get back to the normal pattern. that has been planned so customers can use the national rail inquiries information app and website to find out which trains will be running. t’m website to find out which trains will be running.— will be running. i'm getting different places _ will be running. i'm getting different places have i will be running. i'm getting i different places have different situations that it might get back to normal soon in some places rather
7:17 am
than others, what other regional variations we need to be aware of? services across the cities for example have short distances, they don't have to go very far from the depot to the train station. overnight we left as many in the station as possible. as soon as the power is back open and that signalling is on, the powers —— chains can open and run. trains does not work so well, distances to be further, so to get trains moving in the normal pattern will take until mid—to—late morning. the normal pattern will take until mid-to-late morning.— the normal pattern will take until mid-to-late morning. that's how we aet mid-to-late morning. that's how we net the mid-to-late morning. that's how we get the physical— mid-to-late morning. that's how we get the physical movement - mid-to-late morning. that's how we get the physical movement going i mid-to-late morning. that's how we get the physical movement going on| get the physical movement going on the tracks. what about the talking, what about the talks to try and resolve this dispute? are we getting movement there as well? we resolve this dispute? are we getting movement there as well?— resolve this dispute? are we getting movement there as well? we have been talkin: for a movement there as well? we have been talking for a very — movement there as well? we have been talking for a very long _ movement there as well? we have been talking for a very long time, _ talking for a very long time, substantial conversations started backin substantial conversations started back in january. substantial conversations started back injanuary. we have been here all last week and since sunday this
7:18 am
week and we have got plans to meet this morning with the trade unions. it is important that we continue to stress the fact that there is no need to have a strike, it doesn't help, the fact that there is a strike means that we lose money in the industry as well as upsetting passengers and causing disruption to the wider economy. a key objective to me is to make sure that we get the strikes called off at the earliest possible opportunity. you sa there earliest possible opportunity. you say there is _ earliest possible opportunity. you say there is no — earliest possible opportunity. you say there is no need to have a strike, we havejust had say there is no need to have a strike, we have just had the inflation figures in the last few moments, above 9%, and some of those railway workers will be saying, this proves our point. the money that we are getting isn't covering our basics. we don't have what we need to survive and this is, this proves our need to strike. would you say to them, that this gives them more ammunition in a way? t them, that this gives them more ammunition in a way?— ammunition in a way? i think i absolutely _ ammunition in a way? i think i absolutely empathise - ammunition in a way? i think i absolutely empathise with i ammunition in a way? i think i absolutely empathise with the j ammunition in a way? i think i i absolutely empathise with the cost of living challenges that everyone in society has. railway workers but also everyone else. that's no excuse
7:19 am
if you like to be having industrial action at this point. it means the industry has less money to invest into things like pay for example. it makes it harder to have these negotiations, not easier. this is still that time for talking. there is no need for this action at the moment. and we will continue to be really positive in our approach so that we look for every opportunity we can to reduce the cost of running the railway, so that we can reinvest that into the pay of our employees. we can only do that by talking, and yesterday there was a strike all day and we were not able to have those conversations. i want to keep going until we can achieve a deal.- until we can achieve a deal. talking continues today, _ until we can achieve a deal. talking continues today, it _ until we can achieve a deal. talking continues today, it looks _ until we can achieve a deal. talking continues today, it looks like i continues today, it looks like tomorrow's strike will definitely go ahead but how confident are you that when we get to the end of this week, that might be it? can you get an treatment together which prevents further action after this week? t further action after this week? i have not given up on
7:20 am
further action after this week? t have not given up on tomorrow or saturday, they will inevitably disruption tomorrow unfortunately. i haven't given up and i think we should steep —— keep driving and take every opportunity possible. tim shoveller, thank you forjoining us. proposals to change the human rights acts are going before parliament. the change — if approved — would allow the government to ignore orders made by the european court of human rights, like its recent block on sending asylum seekers to rwanda. critics say the proposals would hand more power to ministers but deputy prime minister dominic raab defended the plan. we want to strengthen the separation of powers. we are proud of ourjudiciary, they should apply the law without fear or favour. but when the goalposts shift and when legislation is effectively what is happening through court interpretations, that must be done subject to the accountability of parliament. this will help us deport more foreign national offenders, deliver our parole reform so we can better protect the public, and do other things like protect our counterterrorism strategy within prisons where sometimes we do need to isolate dangerous offenders.
7:21 am
dominic raab will be coming up in the next 20 minutes. at least 250 people have been killed by an earthquake in afghanistan, with the death toll expected to rise according to a local government official. pictures shared on social media showed people on stretchers, rubble and ruined homes in paktika province, which is on the border with pakistan. tremors are said to have been felt across afghanistan, pakistan and even as far as india. we will bring you more on that story as the pictures come in here. 21 minutes past seven. after terrible behaviour yesterday, we banished carol to the tower of london! it is not all bad because she has beautiful flowers for us! and my head is fully intact! good!

7:23 am
and the channel islands will fade and the channel islands will fade and we have got quite a bit of cloud in the irish sea, that could lap on shore at times but for most it will be dry and sunny and warm, the north and west prone to a bit more cloud. western scotland it could be thick enough for a spot of drizzle. it should brighten up in the east of northern ireland, gentle breezes today with highs up to 27 degrees in cardiff, birmingham and london, as we push further north temperatures into the high teens or low 20s. as we head through the evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies around once again. showers across the channel islands, clipping the south—east coast of england, patchy mist and all of the cloud across parts of western and northern scotland and northern ireland. overnight lows are very similar to last night so we are looking widely between ten and 15 degrees. tomorrow we start off with the showers in the english channel, through the day they will push a bit further north.
7:24 am
some could be heavy and thundery, they might catch one at glastonbury, but a lot of dry weather as well. north and the west prone to cloud and the highest temperatures will be northern england and the midlands where we could see 28 or 29 degrees before it cools down on friday and for the rest of the weekend. thank you, it does look fantastic there. facebook says it has removed a large number of accounts and groups posting pictures and videos of upskirting following an investigation by bbc news. our research found thousands of users openly sharing obscene material of women and girls, which was taken in public without their consent. angus crawford has the story. a man filming on his phone and following a schoolgirl, up some steps to a train station. he is about to put the device under her skirt. we're not going to show
7:25 am
you what he filmed next. but it's freely available on facebook. "what a greatjob," someone comments. the man who took the film runs a facebook group with hundreds of members and writes, "i was on a mission with this one, and i finally got her". members of these groups are all using anonymous accounts, so it's almost impossible to know who they really are. that video of the schoolgirl appears to be in the us. but we also found men posting content from here in the uk. we have censored all the images in our report. this one was taken without her knowledge or consent. it is captioned, "ready for the mile high club". "she looks awesome," says one group member. "manchester airport has a great view," says another. a third, "oh, damn, that's nice". we reported that photograph and some of the comments, but facebook said they didn't go
7:26 am
against their community standards. since 2019, upskirting, taking photographs under someone's clothing without consent, has been illegal. yet when we reported images from those groups, none of them are taken down. when morgan was 15, a man filmed her in a changing cubicle. she has campaigned ever since against upskirting and harassment. it's disgusting. it's horrid. it's horrible to see that men are supporting other men for doing such things like this, just horrid. given your own experience, how does it make you feel about some of the girls and young women who they've been filming? the worst part about it is that they probably don't even know that it's happened to them. and they're just waiting to find it online. god forbid they do. because that will ruin them to know that so many men have not only seen that photo, but also praised it.
7:27 am
it's not right. and there's more. we found group members sharing tips on upskirting, including this british man. we reported his posts but again were told they didn't breach community standards. it's money to them, isn't it? the more users, the more photos, the more comments that are on the photos, the more cash that they get. so i don't think they are as worried as what they should be about it. because this will start to grow. the bigger that facebook gets, this will get worse. so upskirting makes facebook money? yeah. pretty much. so stalking women and girls, taking intimate pictures and sharing them, illegal in the uk, is apparently fine on facebook. and that shocked mpjess phillips, who has campaigned for women's safety all her career.
7:28 am
oh, god. poor girl. what is wrong with facebook? what are your initial thoughts about facebook or what it's doing? i mean, i don't know how they can think that that is not beyond their community standards. the sheer lack of any culpability is just grist to the mill of these people. that people feel that they can post it publicly without any criticism or consequences for them, that's just encouraging them. i would say not just facebook are failing in their protection of people on their site, and their privacy, and their dignity, they are colluding with abusers. meta, which owns facebook, told us, upskirting was not allowed on the platform.
7:29 am
and following our investigation, it had removed a large number of groups and accounts, and will continue to remove violating content when it becomes aware of it. remember the man in the us following school girls? facebook has taken down some of his posts, but others remain. so we have tipped off police in new york. they are now investigating. angus crawford, bbc news. angus has done an important follow—up from that story which is on the bbc news website this morning. deputy prime minister dominic raab coming up in a few minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello and good morning. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as strike action still affects our tube and rail networks this morning,
7:30 am
londoners are being warned not to travel until later on. around 60% of services will run today. our transport correspondent tom edwards sent this report from euston. there won't be any tubes until eight o'clock this morning, and on the trains, what the bosses there are saying is they won't be able to run anything until 7.30. and some stations on the network won't open until eight o'clock. they're still only going to be able to run a sunday service. that's about 60% of trains. the advice there hasn't changed. don't travel on the trains unless it's absolutely necessary. talks to try to resolve the dispute begin again today. if they fail, strikes start again at midnight. staying with the tubes, if you do have to head out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking. next, a national monument to mark windrush day will be

unveilled in london later on. the statue will be opened at waterloo station and will honour the courage and resilience of the windrush generation. it's 20 years since the harry potter franchise came to life, and that anniverary is being celebrated at warner brothers studios in leavesden. it's created a permanent new expansion of professor sprout�*s greenhouse. harry potter star tom felton went to visit. we are the first of many, hopefully, to stand in professor sprout�*s greenhouse. ifirst stood in here literally almost 20 years ago to the day, shooting in here. so it's amazing that it's back exactly as it was the day that ifirst walked in here. i remember being told off. i think we delayed proceedings quite heavily, because it was so much fun. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we're in for another day of warm sunshine. high pressure is still in charge. you can see the fronts staying down
7:32 am
to the south for now. now, the wind is light today. uv levels, of course, are high, the pollen count high, and the temperature in all this sunshine is also going to be high. we're looking at a maximum of 27 celsius later on this afternoon. it's going to be a warm evening as well. plenty of sunshine before it sets. and then overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the minimum temperature somewhere between ten and 14 celsius. so a mild night, especially in central london. so another bright start, as we head into thursday. but those fronts just gradually start to move north as the high pressure starts to slip away towards the east. so these showers coming up, and more cloud coming up from the south. those showers could be quite sharp. you might even hear a rumble or two of thunder tomorrow. we've still got some decent spells of sunshine, though, and temperatures still managing the mid 20s, around 25 celsius. now as we head into friday, low pressure takes over. still a shower risk on friday. the wind starts to strengthen as well. and you'll notice through
7:33 am
friday and the weekend, the temperature much cooler. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. just after half past seven. thank you forjoining us. dominic raab in a moment talking about the inflation figures. now over 9% for last month. butjohn brings us right up to date with the latest looking ahead to next week. yes. good morning. serena williams says she doubted if she would ever return to tennis. she hadn't played since retiring injured in the first round of wimbledon last year, but played in the doubles at eastbourne alongside ons jabeur, the pair coming from a set down to take victory. serena said it would be dishonest to say she didn't have doubts over whether she would play at the top level againm but also that she felt good going into swi9 next week.
7:34 am
absolutely, for sure. at i would be dishonest if i said it wasn't. now my body feels great. its doubles. i'm only playing half of the court. i'm only playing half of the court. i have been doing a lot of training. it definitely feels good. as well as serena watch, we're on brit watch and they certainly put on a show. we were hearing yesterday aboutjodie burrage's first round performance, this one was even better. the world 169 beat the top seed, paula badosa, in straight sets. the two biggest wins of her career, in two days. you know, i went out there. i didn't feel great on the court, and i worked so hard to get out there and battle and fight, and against a player like that, it means so much to me coming through that. i think ijust tried to stay with her on serve. she was serving well. i had a lot of opportunities in the first set, even though it was quite quick. i think i had a few 40—i5s, which i let go of, and i think that's what make the difference closing out games and staying with her as much as i could. that was katie boulter. she also won yesterday. very exciting with those
7:35 am
brits playing very well leading into wimbledon, where the spot light will be on them as much as it will be serena williams. totally. thank you. in the last half hour we've heard that inflation has risen to 9.1% in the year until may, as the price of fuel and food continues to climb. we're joined now by the deputy prime minister, dominic raab. morning. we know that inflation has gone up today. predicted to go even higher. it is the got my going to help? higher. it is the got my going to hel? higher. it is the got my going to hel ? 4' ., higher. it is the got my going to hel ? ~ ., ., ., ., higher. it is the got my going to hel? ~ ., ., ., ., ., help? so, we know that we have got a ulobal help? so, we know that we have got a global struggle _ help? so, we know that we have got a global struggle against _ help? so, we know that we have got a global struggle against inflation. i global struggle against inflation. if you _ global struggle against inflation. if you compare the uk rate, it is similar— if you compare the uk rate, it is similar to — if you compare the uk rate, it is similar to the if you compare the uk rate, it is similarto the u, —— us rates, the belgian— similarto the u, —— us rates, the belgian rate _ similarto the u, —— us rates, the belgian rate. it would be with us for a _ belgian rate. it would be with us for a year— belgian rate. it would be with us for a year or so before it comes down, _ for a year or so before it comes down, which it is predicted to do in 2025 _ down, which it is predicted to do in 2023. there's a whole package of support _ 2023. there's a whole package of support in— 2023. there's a whole package of support in place to protect those we know _ support in place to protect those we know are _ support in place to protect those we know are struggling to make ends meet _ know are struggling to make ends meet £15— know are struggling to make ends meet. £15 billion, cuts national insurance. _ meet. £15 billion, cuts national insurance, the energy rebate of £400 insurance, the energy rebate of £400 in 0ctober~ _ insurance, the energy rebate of £400 in october. so we do understand and

display that was here. we had to view it from above. it is great to be in here on such a beautiful day. it is sunny and it is warm. the forecast for today is just that for most of us. sunny and also warm. there are some exceptions to that rule. that is across the north and west of scotland. and also, the north and west of northern ireland. there is more clout. high pressure in charge. we do have a weather front which is coming on across the south. it has brought some showers to the channel islands. we will see a few more before they eventually fed. the other thing this morning is that we have got some patchy mist and fog around the north midlands and fog around the north midlands and into northern in them. that will burn away quite rapidly. so for most of us under this ridge of high pressure, we are looking at a dry and is sunny and a warm day. the cloud in northern and western scotland could produce the odd spot of drizzle at times in the west. the cloud in northern ireland should break in eastern areas. you should
7:48 am

8:02 am
that broke an hour ago, when the uk's latest rate of inflation was announced and it is 9.1%. that means the price we're paying for things like food, fuel and energy bills has gone up by 9.1% in the 12 months up to may. nina can tell us more, she's in central london. she is at new covent garden market. up she is at new covent garden market. up again, nina? she is at new covent garden market. up again. nina?— up again, nina? yes, 0.1% increase from the up again, nina? yes, 0.196 increase from the month _ up again, nina? yes, 0.196 increase from the month before, _ up again, nina? yes, 0.196 increase from the month before, not - up again, nina? yes, 0.196 increase from the month before, not a i up again, nina? yes, 0.196 increase from the month before, not a large| from the month before, not a large jump, from the month before, not a large jump, but it still represents an incremental increase in the cost of everything overall. in the last half hour or so we have had some detail where the price increases are coming from, the 0ns say continued steep food prices but also the price of goods leaving factories rose at the fastest rate for 45 years. raw materials are leaping at their fastest rate on record. partially due to coming out of lockdown and

8:07 am
where the distance between the depot and a starting point is shorter. but network rail says it could be up to four hours for some trained in remote areas to get to where they are going. 60% of services will be running today, so it is thinner on the ground anyway, so they might be winding down as well tonight ahead of strike action tomorrow. some people working from home instead, some people can't do that but the advice is to plan ahead and today it might take you a bit longer to get to where you are going.— might take you a bit longer to get to where you are going. as we've been hearing, it's going to be another difficult morning for many train passengers because of the knock—on effects of the strike, with only 60 % of trains running. yesterday saw millions ofjourneys disrupted, businesses losing out, tourists left stranded and "working from home" making a big comeback as breakfast�*sjohn maguire reports.
8:08 am
deserted platforms, picket lines, and a paucity of services. this was the picture across the rail network on day one of the strikes. in surrey, farncombe station should be packed with commuters heading into london. the coffee shop would normally be buzzing. instead, they were bored. for us, it feels quite disastrous. we got a big hit from thejubilee, people weren't travelling, it was a very long weekend. 70% of our business is from commuters and if we haven't got that then literally, as you can see, we are making coffee for ourselves and twiddling our thumbs a little bit. we are a coffee shop and it's a huge, huge impact. it is quite soul destroying, to be really honest. not everyone stayed away. birmingham new street is normally one of the busiest, a hub for trains crisscrossing the country. some chose, or were forced to travel despite the warnings. most sought alternatives. by rail, cornwall was cut off as the main link to the county across the royal albert bridge fell silent.
8:09 am
plan ahead was the advice, but not everyone had, and here in st austell, some were bemused and confused. i'm just coming from a night shift. i have to get home, relax, rest, get ready for work tonight again. but i don't know my way around, i don't know where to get a bus. so i'm travelling from dublin, and i get here off the irish ferries and i found out that the trains are cancelled. confusion too in north wales for an american wanderer trying to get to london. i was shocked. i feel like for me being an international traveller, i had no idea that a strike like this was happening. i don't know the reason why behind the strike happening, or anything about it. so now i feel a little screwed over in a way, having no family, no friends here in the country, i don't know what i'm going to do. so this is my work set up, i've got my laptop and my books here, and i've got the coffee and tea maker... we spoke to seren on monday morning, an a—level student who normally takes the train to school but during this exam week
8:10 am
is staying in a hotel. it's going quite well, i checked in yesterday, and it kind of got rid of the stress of this morning for my exam this morning. yeah, i'm a bit worried about thursday because i'm going to have to check out and then try and figure out something to do with my bag and then go to my exam. but hopefully i'll be able to figure that out then. katie works for an insurance broker in london but had to return, reluctantly, to working from home for the day. it's a real shame because we have recently started going back into london again. there is an expectation to try and get into the office two or three times a week, and i agree with that, it's great to connect with colleagues etc. and we've just got back into the flow of that again, and now it's all going to grind to a halt _ i think this week willjust be the beginning of more strikes. in yorkshire, a bus strike has hit trade at sarah's fabric shop in selby and she fears less trains
8:11 am
will make matters even worse. i think if it carries on beyond the end of summer, beginning of autumn, then, yeah, i think it's going to be a lot of businesses that go out of business. more so now than what they did during the pandemic. a sobering thought but an indication ofjust how disruptive and damaging this dispute is proving to be. john maguire, bbc news. prince charles has arrived in rwanda with the duchess of cornwall, ahead of a meeting between leaders from the 5a commonwealth countries, in which he will represent the queen. our deputy africa editor, anne soy, joins us from the capital, kigali. anne, a big deal, a big conference, and in the background those reports that prince charles is unhappy about

8:13 am
commonwealth. that's a big win for the government. there has been criticism as well, directed at them, because of their record on human rights and democracy, but the government has defended itself saying it is work in progress. today we expect prince charles to visit the kigali genocide memorial, there was a genocide here in 1994 in which more than 800,000 people were killed. he will be visiting the memorial and speaking to some of the survivors. :. ~ memorial and speaking to some of the survivors. . ,, , :, , . survivors. thank you very much, auree survivors. thank you very much, agree to. _ survivors. thank you very much, agree to. in _ survivors. thank you very much, agree to, in kigali, _ survivors. thank you very much, agree to, in kigali, rwanda. - at least 250 people have been killed by an earthquake in afghanistan with the death toll expected to rise according to a local government official. the damage appears to centre on the paktika province which is on the border with pakistan. tremors are said to have been felt across afghanistan, pakistan and even as far as india. secunder kermani sent this report from the afghan capital, kabul.
8:14 am
the earthquake struck late last night and we felt powerful tremors here in the capital cobble. they were also felt across the border in the pakistani capital islamabad. the full extent of the destruction is only gradually becoming more clear this morning because the epicentre is in a very rural part of the south—eastern province of paktika, reports that we are getting from local officials there suggest that a large number of people unfortunately have been killed, and a large number of houses have been destroyed. health facilities in the immediate area are pretty basic, helicopters area are pretty basic, helicopters are being used to ferry some of the injured to hospital. the taliban have been calling on aid agencies to reach the scene and help provide humanitarian support. this crisis, of course, coming on top of an existing humanitarian crisis in afghanistan, with more than 19
8:15 am
people facing acute levels of hunger. the primary school in texas where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers last month is to be demolished. the mayor of uvalde says it wouldn't be right to ask children or teachers to return to robb elementary school. public anger has risen since the massacre, with police accused of waiting more than an hour to confront the assailant. it is exactly quarter past eight, who are watching breakfast. let's have a look at the weather for everyone this morning. carol is out and about and it looks glorious. it absolutely is. i am at the tower of london and you can see this super bloom display behind me, this is the east moat. we have been working our way around the tower through the morning. and this is looking over tower bridge. there are 20 million
8:16 am
seeds that have been planted here, at varying heights. some of them are taller than you and you feel like you are immersed in them, some of them are smaller. this was only planted in march, it's absolutely beautiful. a real kaleidoscope of colour. the sun is beating down on them this morning as it is on us, and the forecast for most of us todayis and the forecast for most of us today is a sunny, dry and warm one. as ever there are a few exceptions to the rule, mist and fog is more or less gone now, the showers are fading across the channel islands and a bit more cloud across the parts of scotland, the north and west, the same for northern ireland. thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle but it should brighten up in the east of northern ireland through the east of northern ireland through the day. for most of us it will be sunny, and the picture is shooting up sunny, and the picture is shooting up as a result. the temperature could get as high as 27 degrees in cardiff, birmingham and london, but generally looking at high teens and low 20s for some. a bit of the cloud
8:17 am

8:27 am
and on the trains, what the bosses there are saying is they won't be able to run anything until 7.30. and some stations on the network won't open until eight o'clock. they're still only going to be able to run a sunday service. that's about 60% of trains. the advice there hasn't changed. don't travel on the trains unless it's absolutely necessary. staying with the tubes, if you do have to head out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking. as we've been saying, lots of lines affected this morning, so do check before you travel. next, a national monument to mark windrush day will be unveiled in london later on. the statue will be opened at waterloo station to honour the courage and resilience of the windrush generation. it's 20 years since the harry potter franchise came to life, and that anniversary is being celebrated at warner brothers studios in leavesden.

it's created a permanent new expansion of professor sprout�*s greenhouse. harry potter star tom felton went to visit. we are the first of many, hopefully, to stand in professor sprout�*s greenhouse. ifirst stood in here literally almost 20 years ago to the day, shooting in here. so it's amazing that it's back exactly as it was the day that ifirst walked in here. i remember being told off. i think we delayed proceedings quite heavily, because it was so much fun. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a bright start this morning, and we're in for another day of warm sunshine. high pressure is still in charge. you can see the fronts staying down to the south for now. now, the wind is light today. uv levels, of course, are high, the pollen count high, and the temperature in all this sunshine is also going to be high. we're looking at a maximum of 27 celsius later on this afternoon. it's going to be a warm evening as well.
8:29 am
plenty of sunshine before it sets. and then overnight it stays dry and it stays clear. the minimum temperature somewhere between ten and 14 celsius. so a mild night, especially in central london. so another bright start, as we head into thursday. but those fronts just gradually start to move north as the high pressure starts to slip away towards the east. so these showers coming up, and more cloud coming up from the south. those showers could be quite sharp. you might even hear a rumble or two of thunder tomorrow. we've still got some decent spells of sunshine, though, and temperatures still managing the mid 20s, around 25 celsius. now as we head into friday, low pressure takes over. still a shower risk on friday. the wind starts to strengthen as well. and you'll notice through friday and the weekend, the temperature much cooler. that's it from me. i'm backjust after nine. until then, back tojon and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast
8:30 am
with sally nugent and jon kay. thank you forjoining us. we have been reporting that the uk's latest rate of inflation has been published and it is up again, to 9.0 —— 9.1%, feeling more fears ofa and it is up again, to 9.0 —— 9.1%, feeling more fears of a looming recession. —— fuelling. most of us already know how that feels because we lived through one in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2009. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been to catch up with four of the people she met during that crisis to see how they've coped since, and how they feel about another a day of turmoil on the world's financial markets. this was the great recession, a banking crash. a credit crunch, unemployment, stagnation. the action we are taking is unprecedented, but essential for all of us. back in 09, the bbc spent a year following a group of people as they navigated their way through the worst
8:31 am
slump since the 1930s. today, as commentators predict another recession could be on the way, we track them back down. hello, stranger. how are you? are we doing hugs? shall i show you your film? yeah. back in 09, we met a chip shop owner anne. she was gambling it all, trying to expand, while shops all around her closed. oh, my god, look at my hair! i look likejedward! the gamble paid off. today the coffee shop and chip shop is thriving, but inflation is the new crisis they face. and on social media, there has been a backlash. prices have gone up ridiculously. i mean, fish is nearly treble. mushy peas, probably about five or six times more than. and you can't pass all that on. somebody put this post on to say, i think they had meat pie, chips and curry, and it was £6 something, and they thought it was extortionate.
8:32 am
but other people were kind ofjoining in the conversation, because this is so real for so many people. yeah, there was 300 comments in an hour. they were talking about protesting outside the shop. it was awful. and i mean, my husband kind of says, "don't let it worry you." but when you're passionate about something, and you've been in business for as long as we have, and it's a family business, you know, it does hurt. inflation hurts everyone, even those in stable work. hello, stranger. how are you? all right. how are you? in 09, we watched jane's last day in woolworth s, one of the first high street giants to collapse. she was one of 700,000 to lose theirjob that year. you did a conga out the last woolworth store as the shutters came down. you know, we tried to keep our chin up so much. that was the first time you were unemployed in how many years? 24 years. yeah. today she's doing well as an office

8:34 am
in manchester we were paying, i think, about £2,500 a year for the council tax here. here, it's 500 euros a year. here, i can quite happily go out with 30 euros and have a night out, you know. it's looking like the right move then? and of course it's warm all the time. oh, god, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. inflation here in the uk is amongst the worst in western europe and the g20. hi! how are you? good, thank you. how are you? good to see you. in 09, we'd watched balla open her dream chocolate shop and cafe. am i brave orfoolish? and there's a very fine line, ithink, between being brave and foolish. within 18 months, that dream was dead. it's heartbreaking, really. it's really, really sad to find that it didn't work out. today, this is what remains of the original cafe. is this the original sign, by the way? yep, yeah. i couldn't let go of that. since then, she's fought her way back as an online retailer. but she says one thing is making
8:35 am
the current squeeze even harder. and that is the b—word. brexit! i've actually stopped exporting, because it was so confusing in terms of customs and what we needed to do. we were sending lots to the us, to singapore, to japan, and ijust stopped, because i thought, it's not worth the risk. what proportion of your business do you think you lost? 30% possibly. that's huge. yeah, that is a huge percentage. when you look at the numbers and you think, what's going on and where is it going to go, and how are we going to manage this? but we do. you do? yeah. onwards. onwards and upwards. onwards! they faced a global recession, a global pandemic. now the big squeeze. whatever lies ahead... trying not to do a fake smile! ..they face it with a resilience born of experience. chat to you in another decade. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. take care.

8:42 am
you what he filmed next. but it's freely available on facebook. "what a greatjob," someone comments. the man who took the film runs a facebook group with hundreds of members and writes, "i was on a mission with this one, and i finally got her". members of these groups are all using anonymous accounts, so it's almost impossible to know who they really are. that video of the schoolgirl appears to be in the us. but we also found men posting content from here in the uk. we have censored all the images in our report. this one was taken without her knowledge or consent. it is captioned, "ready for the mile high club". "she looks awesome," says one group member. "manchester airport has a great view," says another. a third, "oh, damn, that's nice". we reported that photograph and some of the comments, but facebook said they didn't go
8:43 am
against their community standards. since 2019, upskirting, taking photographs under someone's clothing without consent, has been illegal. yet when we reported images from those groups, none of them are taken down. when morgan was 15, a man filmed her in a changing room cubicle. she has campaigned ever since against upskirting and harassment. it's disgusting. it's horrid. it's horrible to see that men are supporting other men for doing such things like this, it's horrid. given your own experience, how does it make you feel about some of the girls and young women who they've been filming? the worst part about it is that they probably don't even know that it's happened to them. and they're just waiting to find it online. god forbid they do. because that will ruin them to know that so many men have not only seen that photo,
8:44 am
but also praised it. it's not right. and there's more. we found group members sharing tips on upskirting, including this british man. we reported his posts but again were told they didn't breach community standards. it's money to them, isn't it? the more users, the more photos, the more comments that are on the photos, the more cash that they get. so i don't think they are as worried as what they should be about it. because this will start to grow. the bigger that facebook gets, this will get worse. so upskirting makes facebook money? yeah. pretty much. so stalking women and girls, taking intimate pictures and sharing them, illegal in the uk, is apparently fine on facebook. and that shocked mpjess phillips, who has campaigned for women's safety all her career.
8:45 am
oh, god. poor girl. what is wrong with facebook? what are your initial thoughts about facebook or what it's doing? i mean, i don't know how they can think that that is not beyond their community standards. the sheer lack of any culpability is just grist to the mill of these people. that people feel that they can post it publicly without any criticism or consequences for them, that's just encouraging them. i would say not just facebook are failing in their protection of people on their site, and their privacy, and their dignity, they are colluding with abusers. meta, which owns facebook, told us, upskirting was not allowed on the platform.
8:46 am
and following our investigation, it had removed a large number of groups and accounts, and will continue to remove violating content when it becomes aware of it. remember the man in the us following school girls? facebook has taken down some of his posts, but others remain. so we have tipped off police in new york. they are now investigating. angus crawford, bbc news. it is 8:46am. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. back in march we told _ breakfast from bbc news. back in march we told you _ breakfast from bbc news. back in march we told you about - breakfast from bbc news. back in march we told you about a - breakfast from bbc news. back in march we told you about a project| march we told you about a project that the tower of london to sell 20 million flowers to celebrate the queen'sjubilee. this is how it looked at the time. i remember expressing some doubt that it would ever look anything other than mardi, brown, a mess. ever look anything other than mardi, brown. a mess—
8:47 am
brown, a mess. shall we see how it is lookin: brown, a mess. shall we see how it is looking now? _ is looking now? 0h! gorgeous. breathtaking, isn't it? it has grown. it looks fantastic. and breathing it all in is our carol, who has been sent to the tower this morning. good morning. absolutely stunning. this is the super bloom display in honour of her majesty the queen's poznanjubilee. —— platinumjubilee. poznan jubilee. —— platinum jubilee. 20 poznanjubilee. —— platinumjubilee. 20 million seeds planted in march. look at it now. it attracts bees and pollinators. it is a good source of food. this is a royal banquet for the bees and other pollinators. the sun has been beating down all morning. the temperature has shot up. the forecast for most of us todayis up. the forecast for most of us today is a sunny, dry and warm one. as ever, some exceptions. we have had some showers across the channel islands. some party mist and fog. ——
8:48 am
patchy. high pressure firmly in charge of our weather. it is going to stay this way for the next couple of days. fronts across the continent would bring some showers into the south as we go through the next couple of days. this morning a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. in the north and west of scotland, and the north and west of northern ireland, bitmore cloud. that is producing the odd spot of drizzle but it should brighten up at least. temperatures today soaring to about 27 degrees across parts of cardiff, in through birmingham and down towards the south—east. as you travel northwards, temperatures are still going to be roughly between about 19 to 21 or 22. as we had on through the evening and overnight, we still have some clear skies. we start to see some of those showers getting into the channel islands. by the end of the night we will see them getting into the south coast of england. they will be some patchy mist and fog. clear skies. a breezy in the north—west where we have some cloud. also looking at temperatures
8:49 am
similar to last night. roughly between ten and 15 degrees. into tomorrow, we still have some cloud in the north and west. a lot of dry weather. those showers my coming across the english channel will migrate northwards. some will be heavy and thundering. tomorrow's top temperatures could be in the north midlands and northern england, getting up as high as 28 as 29 degrees. as we go through the evening and overnight of those showers might push northwards, eventually getting to northern ireland, northern england and also scotland, where some of them will be heavy during the course of friday and also thundery. but again, a lot of dry weather. later in the day we have got rain, more persistent rain, in northern ireland and south—west england. here the wind is going to strengthen. temperatures down a touch, top temperatures 25. as we head into the rest of the weekend it is looking more unsettled as low pressure takes over. things turn cooler. it would be showery at times with some rain. it would be windier
8:50 am
as well. thank you, carol. it has been a beautiful location for us this morning. i rememberthe beautiful location for us this morning. i remember the poppy art installation a few years ago in the same location. that's right. that was in 2014. there are puppies in this display as a nod to that. in the same way there are blue corn flowers in a nod to the fact this is a moat. fantastic. clever. thank you, carol. a lot of people would be paying close attention to what carol has been saying if they have plans for this weekend. if been saying if they have plans for this weekend.— this weekend. if they have got wellies this _ this weekend. if they have got wellies this weekend. - this weekend. if they have got - wellies this weekend. glastonbury festival is finally getting under way. it is the 50th anniversary. delayed though. they haven't done it for the past three years because of the pandemic. if for the past three years because of the pandemic-— for the past three years because of the pandemic. if you are watching at eiuht the pandemic. if you are watching at eight o'clock. _ the pandemic. if you are watching at eight o'clock. you — the pandemic. if you are watching at eight o'clock, you will _ the pandemic. if you are watching at eight o'clock, you will have - the pandemic. if you are watching at eight o'clock, you will have seen - eight o'clock, you will have seen the gates officially open. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is there.
8:51 am
colin, this is a huge moment for music fans? absolutely massive. the gates opened bang on eight o'clock. 0h, bang on eight o'clock. oh, dear, whata bang on eight o'clock. oh, dear, what a shame! bang on eight o'clock. oh, dear, whata shame! you bang on eight o'clock. oh, dear, what a shame! you wait three years for glastonbury... i once shared a very dirty caravan at glastonbury with colin, both of us covering it.— at glastonbury with colin, both of us covering it. colin paterson, the bbc entertainment _ us covering it. colin paterson, the. bbc entertainment correspondent? yes, it was pretty grim and muddy. but it was fun. we were working. in fact, i would work until late and he would go out covering bands at night and we hardly saw each other. let's look at colin's report. he has been working on a piece to share with us all about preparations for glastonbury. dust off your wellies. these are the final preparations for the first glastonbury festival in three years. around 200,000 people will descend on worthy farm, coming from all over.
8:52 am
in salford, paul heaton and jacqui abbott are rehearsing for their friday night headline slot on the acoustic stage, which was originally meant to happen in 2020. well, i was in my fifties then, and i'm not any more, and ifeel as though people missed out on two years of my lovely looks! he first played glastonbury with the housemartins in 1986, and believes the festival is a special place. it's the west country wembley! can ijust claim that? i have just coined the west country wembley. it's people who go there not just to see one band. they go to see as much as they can cram in. and that really helps. and that's the idea of glastonbury is, you know — "why are you going to glastonbury?" "0h, ijust want to see him or her" — do you know what i mean? you never got that response. it's, "i'm going to camp, i'm going to make a weekend of it.
8:53 am
i'm seeing so—and—so on the sunday morning, so—and—so on the sat..." that's what makes it. and jacqui abbott says that the three year gap between glastonburys has added to the anticipation. as soon as you say it to anybody else, friends or family, they're like, "oh, glastonbury." it's got that thing where it evokes people going, "ah!" they immediately follow it with, "have you got free tickets? can we get in?" # promise me this. # take me tonight.# in northamptonshire, a father and daughter team are preparing to return to glastonbury with their food stalls. so what was on those pallets? we had one pallet of falafel, and the other one was a pallet of hummus. falafel and hummus — those might be the most glastonbury pallets of all time. well, quite possibly. hopefully they'll go. dad peter first worked
8:54 am
at the festival 30 years ago. the last couple of years have not been easy ones. virtually no financial support. so reallyjust other work, but nothing along the outdoor catering line. what did you end up doing instead? some building work. right. it's quite a difference. yeah, it's quite a difference, yeah. during the enforced downtime, daughter freya spent 300 hours painting their new stall front, which will be seen just to the left of the other stage. she also had to seek alternative employment. we've had to find other things to do. i found work in a supermarket. i've only ever really worked for dad. so how much of a relief is it? it is a relief. i feel like it's much more my calling than a supermarket. are you good at stacking the shelves though? iam. but i have had plenty of practice here with hummus, so...! and there is much excitement for one couple in york. andrew and ashley peace had
8:55 am
a glastonbury—themed wedding last year, and were supposed to head to the festival for their honeymoon. twelve months later, they can finally go. i'm like a child in december when you count down the days. so when it got tojune, i started chalking the days off. so we're nearly there now, and just... it's been a long wait, hasn't it? yeah. and pray the weather gods are with us. and ashley used the delay to get her own lasting glastonbury tribute. i have my new tattoo of the pyramid stage, and you can see the crowd there as well. what made you want to get that? just because i love it so much. it'sjust going to be a lasting reminder of the place that i absolutely love most in the world, really. the first dance at their wedding was the beatles' all you need is love. so it's no surprise that on saturday night, they'll be heading to the pyramid stage for paul mccartney. incredibly excited. we both absolutely adore macca. so he is one of the highlights that i really want to see over the weekend. # in this ever changing world in which we live in.# and the good
