good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. rail services grind to a halt once again as the second day of the biggest train strikes in decades gets underway. good morning from an empty paddington. the rmt union is locked in a bitter dispute overjobs, pay and conditions but rail bosses say the way the modernised rail network works has to be modernised. the taliban appeals for international help in afghanistan, after an earthquake in the east of the country, which is believed to have killed at least 1,000 people. warming up nicley for wimbledon.

a great day for british tennis at eastbourne is topped off by harriet dart winning two matches in a day to make today's quarter—finals. for many of us today we will see some sunshine, but there are some showers coming up from the south which are likely to be heavy and thundery. forthe which are likely to be heavy and thundery. for the rest of the week it will turn cooler and more unsettled. it's thursday the 23rd ofjune. our main story. most trains in britain are not running again today, as thousands of workers walk out for the second time this week. just 20% of services will operate after talks between the rmt union and railway employers broke down. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has the details. large parts of britain's railway have come to a halt again. 0verall, only about 20% of services will run, although in some places it's less. northern will operate fewer than 10%.

where trains are running services will start late and finish early. kamala lives in cheltenham, where there are no trains at all today. she can't get to her part—time job near bath teaching english as a foreign language. if i can't get to work, i won't have the income to face all the extra energy bills etc. so i do need to get to work. five minutes up the road, this co—working space has seen a big increase in bookings this week. a lot of its customers who would normally travel to london for meetings are having to stay local instead, and do those meeting remotely, including gwen. we are not able to see our clients face to fight face so therefore we are not able to see our clients face to face so therefore we have to continue seeing our clients digitally. it's far from ideal, but we still have ways and means of doing business. so we have to be agile, we have to adapt, we had to adapt to a lockdown, we now have to adapt to strikes. that's just the way we work now. the disruption comes in a week

when a number of big events are taking place, including glastonbury and a test match at headingley which starts today. this second day of strike action is going ahead after further talks between rail bosses and the rmt failed to reach a settlement. the union said the stumbling block was network rail would not withdraw a letter saying it would start a formal consultation into modernisation plans involving redundancies. the rmt blamed the government. when grant shapps talks about modernisation, what he means is cutting people's wages, and sacking people out of the industry. i've got a different idea of what is modern, and that's you go to work and you get paid a wage you can live on. and i've got another idea about modernisation, i think we should modernise the dft and get ourselves a minister that knows what he's talking about. the transport secretary said he had nothing to do with the issuing of the letter or a request to withdraw it. the rail industry is under pressure to save money and has said reforms to working practices could make savings that made a higher pay offer possible.

savings that made a higher rail bosses said last night they were disappointed at the lack of a deal and remained available for talks. well, we are absolutely going to stay here for as long as we need to in order to try and find a way through this. the more the strikes go on, the more money that costs the industry, the more disruption it causes. that means we have less money available to make a pay award. it makes it harder to get a deal. so the quicker we get a deal, the better. today, passengers are being told only to take the train if necessary and check before they travel. and another strike day is due on saturday. katie austin, bbc news. ben's at paddington station in london for us this morning, where it's a lot quieter than normal. good morning. many commuters would wish for the scene you are in this morning but it's not great news for them. it morning but it's not great news for them. . , , �* , morning but it's not great news for them. . , ,�* , them. it really isn't, but you can tell that from _

them. it really isn't, but you can tell that from looking _ them. it really isn't, but you can tell that from looking at - them. it really isn't, but you can tell that from looking at these . tell that from looking at these departures. all of these departures that say please inquire our services not running today, that is the majority. notjust here in paddington but right across england, scotland and wales. take a look around. paddington station at this time a week they would heaving, lots of passengers, those seats would be for the people looking up at the departure boards, they are empty. it's very unusual. 0n departure boards, they are empty. it's very unusual. on a normal weekday, 150,000 passengers would pass through this station, we know that on the first strike date 26,000 people travelled through, the sixth of the normal number. look at the departure boards, katie mentioned the big events, one of the trains up there, the 7:a4am to castle cary, will be taking festivalgoers heading for glastonbury. 0ne will be taking festivalgoers heading for glastonbury. one of the big events happening this week, coinciding with the strikes. there is also the test match happening in

leeds, and the goodwood festival of speedin leeds, and the goodwood festival of speed in chichester, and later in the week rolling stones playing in hyde park. the place is empty and as a result of the station being empty, a result of the station being empty, a lot of the shops that would normally be open, coffee shops and sandwich shops are shuttered. no one deserves that they have taken the decision it's not worth opening. there is a hit to business from the strikes as well. one important point, if you are travelling today and you absolutely have to come at the last services will leave earlier than normal, last one from paddington leaves at 6pm, longer distance will even earlier. bear that in mind they don't get stuck. thank you, see you later. it's a bad week to be a rail passenger but air travel has also been disrupted over recent weeks. last week gatwick airport said it would be reducing the number of flights during the peak summer period, because of staff shortages. the number of daily flights will be cut to 825 injuly and 850 in august, that's down from 900 in previous years.

the budget airline easyjet announced plans to cut 7% of its 160,000 flights scheduled between july and september. and on monday, around 30 flights carrying up to 5,000 passengers were cancelled at heathow airport, due to technical issues affecting baggage. the airport had asked airlines to cut 10% of flights across terminals two and three. and things could get worse because voting closes today for hundreds of gmb union members working as heathrow check—in and ground staff over whether to take strike action, which could result in a walk—out during the summer holidays. greg mckenzie is at heathrow. greg, what's this dispute about? i guess this is precisely what travellers going into the summer don't want to hear, tell us more. good morning, charlie. it is being done but the —— dubbed the summer of

discontent. the issue at heater is with ba staff members who two years ago agreed to accept a 10% pay cut in their wages because of the pandemic. the airline was simply losing money because passengers were not flying. so fast forward to this year, the airline has started to see a pick—up in passengerflights, more flights are going and leaving as the airline recovers, and other airlines, but that 10% pay cut has only been reintroduced, or reinstated, if you like, to bosses and senior members at british airways. that 10% has not been reinstated to ground staff. that is check—in staff and baggage handlers. 700 staff members are going to the ballot. and that ballot, the results will come back at about 2pm this afternoon. should they vote in favour of strike action, that strike will take place

in the midst of the summer, the end ofjuly, we are being told. that's one of the busiest times here at heathrow airport. british airways hasissued heathrow airport. british airways has issued a statement and it simply says that it has lost £4 billion over the last two years, and it says that it did offer its staff members to reintroduce the 10%, the 10% pay cut, and ultimately that offer was turned down because it was only on the table for one year. so staff members, had they accepted, they would have only got 10% back for one year. many people voted to not accept that offer so time alone will tell if the strike will happen, result at upm. —— 2pm this afternoon. the taliban in afghanistan have appealed for international support, after an earthquake killed at least a thousand people and

injured another 1,500. both of those numbers are likely to rise over the coming days. the earthquake struck the paktika province which is on the border of pakistan, about 30 miles from the city of khost. it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, local time. afghanistan is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because of the geological fault lines which cross the country. the quake measured 6.1 in magnitude damaging thousands of homes in one of the world's poorest countries. frances read has the latest. cracks in the walls of what used to be a home. whole villages in this part of the country now gone. this, a major disaster. of those who survive, many are homeless. searches continue in the rubble, but overnight, heavy rain and hail has hampered the rescue. the air ambulance arrives in a remote area, but the response is limited. it's one of only a handful of helicopters left in the country

since the taliban returned to power. the hospital beds in paktika's capital, sharan, were full of both the very youngest and the older. this woman survived but she lost 19 family members, and fears she is now completely alone. "seven in one room, five in another, four in another, then three in another, have all been killed in my family. i can't talk any more, my heart is getting weak," she said. here, the injured are treated. doctors say they're worried about food and supplies in the coming days as well as waterborne diseases. the un secretary—general antonio guterres says it's fully mobilised with teams on the ground to provide initial support. but it's not yet clear what form that will take long term. the country, one of the poorest

in the world, was already facing a humanitarian crisis with millions vulnerable to famine. the ruling taliban still international pariahs, and afghanistan's economy crushed by sanctions. translation: we call- on the international community to help because our country alone cannot handle this incident. we want the international community to start working with us at this time, and to continue their cooperation. as emergency food and medical supplies leave for remote areas, aid agencies fear this disaster may be worse than already seen. a lack of communication means it's hard to know the extent of help needed or the damage caused. they can only hope that help comes fast enough. frances read, bbc news. a british man sentenced to death after he was caught by russian forces while fighting for ukraine has been told that the execution will be carried out.

that's according to his family. aiden aslin was captured alongside fellow uk national shaun pinner and sentenced by a russian court which is not internationally recognised. aiden�*s family in nottinghamshire has called for more to be done to help release the pair. 0ur correspondent emma vardy has the story. it's been an agonising wait for aiden aslin and shaun pinner since being told they face the death penalty. the sentence was handed down a fortnight ago to the two men, and a moroccan national, in an unrecognised court in an area controlled by russian backed separatists. your son rings to say that he is going to be, he's going to be killed. in a phone call to his mother, aiden said his captors have informed him the execution will go ahead. he was given a month, and time is running out. and aiden was told that he was going to be executed.

the uk's foreign ministers called it a sham judgment with no legitimacy. but hopes for a pardon or an appeal for his family appear to be fading. aiden and shaun have lived in ukraine since 2018, appearing here in a documentary made after they became marines in ukraine's armed forces. in a sense, like, it is like my war, because, like, even though i'm not ukrainian, this is on my doorstep. after the russian invasion, they spent weeks defending the besieged city of mariupol, before having to surrender. these are two men who came here a few years ago, before this invasion started. speaking from ukraine, another member of the marines who served in the unit said the death sentence showed russia's disregard for international law. it's absolutely dire, and at this point i really hope that the uk government,

as well as the ukrainian government, is going to step up and figure out some way to negotiate their release. how is this being seen in ukraine? it actually rallies more people behind them, and i guess the ukrainians, they look up to aiden and shaun as heroes. meanwhile, on state sanctioned russian television, they've been shown little mercy. being publicly mocked and accused of terrorism. the uk government says it's deeply concerned by the sentences and it's continuing to work with ukraine to try to secure the men's release. there is believed to be a reluctance to get involved in direct negotiations with russia, those who are holding the men in donetsk. president putin, i do believe, has got the power to stop this. i plead, please, let these guys go. for now, their fate appears to remain in the hands of russian backed separatists. aiden�*s family still hope he may be saved by a prisoner exchange.

but fear the situation is becoming more desperate. emma vardy, bbc news. two parliamentary by—elections take place today, in wakefield and tiverton and honiton. both seats were won by the conservatives at the last general election. people in each area will have until 10pm to cast their vote with the results expected in the early hours of tomorrow morning. the virus that causes polio has been detected in a concerning number of sewage samples in london, health officials have said. the uk health security agency says it was probably imported to london by someone who was recently vaccinated overseas with a live form of the virus. the disease was common in the uk in the 19505 but was eliminated by 2003. prosecutors in the us say ghislaine maxwell should be jailed for between 30 and 55 years when she's sentenced on tuesday of next week. the 60—year—old was convicted

in december of five charges relating to the sexual abuse of teenage girls by the financierjeffrey epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial. her lawyers have asked for a sentence of less than 20 years. eight medical staff who treated the legendary footballer diego maradona before his death in 2020 are to stand trial accused of criminal negligence. the former argentina captain was recovering from surgery on a brain blood clot when he died of a heart attack, aged 60. ajudge has ordered a culpable homicide trial after a medical panel found his treatment was rife with "deficiencies and irregularities". 17 minutes past six, time to have a look at the weather for the thursday morning. carol is right there. this morning we have quite a bit of sunshine around, but over the next

few days that is going to change. it is going to turn cooler, some heavy showers, but still some sunshine in the forecast. it will turn windier this weekend. showers in the south—east, some cloud in the far south—eastern corner moving north, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine but still some cloud across the north and west. the cloudy northern ireland thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle but nonetheless we should see some brighter spells develop. these are the temperatures but we could reach 28 or 29 in the north midlands or into northern england. these showers are likely to turn heavy and thundery, they are showers are so many of us will miss them so it is travelling north. still areas of cloud but equally some sunshine around in some areas, and humid in the south. as we go through the night, it's also going to feel quite humid. a front moving north, taking the showers with it, some heavy and

thundery, variable cloud, patchy mist and fog forming, and the first signs of the rain coming in across northern ireland. into the weekend, low pressure starts to dominate. it replaces high pressure we have had all week. things turn more unsettled and wetter, showers and spells of rain, and it is going to be windy. most of the showers will be in the west but we cannot rule them out in the east. thank you. let's take a look at some of today's papers. the times leads on the rail strikes. it says rail workers on merseyside were given a 7.1% pay rise yesterday evening which the paper reports unions have hailed a "new benchmark". the guardian leads on the rail strikes, too. and it also has a picture of the new monument that's been unveiled for the windrush generation. basil watson's sculpture at waterloo station celebrates those who arrived in britain from the caribbean after the second world war. the daily mail says polio is back in the uk after a0 years. it notes that experts repeatedly found samples of the virus at a waste water site.

it's more than 90 years now since the last st kildans were evacuated from these homes, but the centuries before that, the sea beds that surrounded this archipelago were integral to their way of life. now with avian flu in these islands, there is real concern about the impact it could have on various species on the islands. 0n the hill above village bay, kilda's seabird ranger is keeping a close eye on great skua territory. they have been badly affected. craig describes this as his most challenging season yet. at the end of last season, i was already worried about the 60 birds that had died, how many more i had missed. i knew that the population was going to be impacted. but it wasn't until i got back, i think was around about the 28th of april, that i found the first bird. since then, the number of dead birds has just been increasing every day. that number is now at 120 this year and counting. it's thought across many colonies, including here in st kilda, that between two thirds and three

quarters of great skuas have been lost. and with only between 15 and 20,000 breeding pairs worldwide, if avian flu continues to have such an impact, the species' very existence could be under threat. that's alarming and heartbreaking to witness. really, really worrying that this bird that i grew up with for many years now on multiple islands is on the verge of extinction. those on the island are doing what they can to limit any spread, especially to other species. when people do arrive, whether it's on cruise boat on a day but, we can have that introductory talk with people to make sure they can are both aware of the situation that we have on the developments that will be ongoing with that, and our biosecurity measures to make sure those are fully in place. and it may be that we have

to restrict areas of the island in future, so asking people to only explore certain areas for their for their safety and safety of the birds. the outbreak continued to be monitored nationally and internationally, with the risk to human health described as very low. but people are being reminded not to touch dead or dying birds. craig, though, is concerned about the future. the most worrying thing about this is that we don't know how much further it's going to go, how many more species it's going to affect. to see this happening to the birds that i'm monitoring is heartbreaking. i came here to monitor live birds, i take great pride in the work that i do, but it's rapidly becoming a major part of myjob to report dead birds. it's worrying times. beautiful scenery there. that was iain macinnes reporting. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as a second national train strike on the the rail network is underway this morning, it's thought the effect of the walkout on london's hospitality sector will cost around £70 million in lost revenue. less than 20% of services are expected to run today. unlike earlier in the week, union members on the london underground are not striking. this loss in revenues over the three days of strikes will be over half a billion pounds. londoners proportionately more dense, if you like, in terms of hospitality venue so it will probably disproportionately higher. we think are probably around 70 million in lost trade, which is really not what we need at the moment. a disabled man from harrow has told bbc london he feels like a prisoner in his own home after he had to be carried to his sixth—floor flat last week.

adam gabsi says broken lifts in the building are are a huge issue. i was scared in the knowledge that i had to be carried up six floors of stairs. you know, facing the other way and having to be carried backwards, you know, being so reliant on neighbours and the wake and watch, i'm sure it's not something that they expected and it's not something that i expected in my day, and you know, i was extremely scared. a spokesperson for adam's housing association says it understands the difficulties residents face and is committed to supporting them. well if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. as you can see there are quite a few problems out there — so do check before you travel 0nto the weather now

with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it is a beautiful start to the day across the capital, just the right amount of cloud and the sun rise recorded by our weather watchers in camberwell and bromley. it won't be completely dry today. there will be some thunderstorms around and there is a met office weather warning in place from ten o'clock this morning right through until midnight. expect some heavy downpours, thunder and lightning all possible. some places could stay dry and the thunderstorms won't be everywhere. as we head through this morning, a dry early start and the cloud in the south—east will move north throughout the morning. expect to see some showers with that cloud but then it will brighten up into the afternoon again, some sunny spells, still feeling warm although temperatures will be a little lower than yesterday and the air will be feeling really quite muggy, just a gentle easterly breeze. the showers where we see them will fade away as we head through the evening and overnight and it will feel warm and muggy tonight but there will be clear skies around into tomorrow morning and then tomorrow we look out towards the south—west and there will be showers, plenty more cloud

around but also some sunny spells and it will be quite breezy. a drop in temperature on friday and another drop, feeling cooler over the weekend. that's it from me — i'm back in half an hour. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on the programme this morning. kate bush has been speaking to the bbc about how it feels to score a number one hit 37 years after the single was released — we'll play you that interview at 720. max beasley will be telling us about his role in a new tv adaptation of the classic sci—fi drama, the midwich cuckoos. # as funny as it may seem

and knocked out a top—25 player jil teichmann from switzerland, before outlasting marta kostyuk, who's also ranked much higher, to become the first british woman in five years to make the last eight in eastbourne. and today, it's a quarterfinal against two—time wimbledon champion, petra kvitova. it's two wins out of two for serena williams on her return to tennis, after a year out. the sporting icon, and her doubles partner 0ns jabeur, are into the semi—finals — as serena looks for game time, before she embarks on trying to win a record 24th grand slam title. british number one, cameron norrie, has never gone further than the third round at a grand slam. something he will want to change in the next couple of weeks. he was sent home early at queens, but has been playing well in eastbourne. he's into the quarter—finals after a straight sets win against brandon nakashima. jack draper has been causing a lot of excitement amongst

british tennis fans recently. he pulled off another victory over a top—15 player by beating diego schwartzman. and there's a chance he could face fellow englishman ryan peniston in the last eight. peniston's match was suspended in the deciding set due to bad light. now after the incredible swashbuckling end to the second test, england have already won their series against new zealand going into the final test, that starts today in leeds. it's being staged at headingley, which originally had its international status revoked over yorkshire's involvement, in the azeem rafiq racism case, which rocked the sport last year. 0n the pitch, england have been transformed, under the new coach and captain team, playing an attacking, high risk, exciting brand of cricket and that's set to continue. ijust said that i just said that we are ijust said that we are in the entertainment business not the sports business, but it was the only way i could put it into simple terms. ~ . way i could put it into simple terms. . ., ., ., ., terms. what we managed to do in the last two weeks _ terms. what we managed to do in the last two weeks is _ terms. what we managed to do in the last two weeks is pretty _ terms. what we managed to do in the last two weeks is pretty special i terms. what we managed to do in the last two weeks is pretty special and i last two weeks is pretty special and there _

but he may be tempted to go back to the city where he was born, even though it is the championship it is all about getting game time ahead of the world cup in november. slight -a cut. i the world cup in november. slight pay cut- i don't _ the world cup in november. slight pay cut. i don't think— the world cup in november. slight pay cut. i don't think it's _ the world cup in november. slight pay cut. i don't think it's about i pay cut. i don't think it's about the money _ pay cut. i don't think it's about the money for _ pay cut. i don't think it's about the money for him _ pay cut. i don't think it's about the money for him now. it i pay cut. i don't think it's about| the money for him now. it can't pay cut. i don't think it's about i the money for him now. it can't be. time now for an update on the situation in afghanistan, where an earthquake struck nearly 36 hours ago — killing at least a thousand people and injuring many more. tawa b zafa rzai is a journalist who joins us from kabul. thank you forjoining us. what can you tell us about what you are witnessing? it you tell us about what you are witnessing?— you tell us about what you are witnessin: ? , . ,., , witnessing? it is a huge disaster. it has witnessing? it is a huge disaster. it has been _ witnessing? it is a huge disaster. it has been the _ witnessing? it is a huge disaster. it has been the worst _ witnessing? it is a huge disaster. it has been the worst earthquake j witnessing? it is a huge disaster. i it has been the worst earthquake in 12 years _ it has been the worst earthquake in 12 years in — it has been the worst earthquake in 12 years in afghanistan and the damage — 12 years in afghanistan and the damage is more and more because of

will see heavy showers although still some sunshine in the forecast and it will turn windier as we go through the weekend as well. what we have at the moment is this band of cloud which through the evening and overnight has been steadily moving north and is currently producing showers across the far south—east of england. that is going to be moving north as we head through the course of the day, so currentlyjust a few showers dotted around the channel islands and coming in across the south—east and moving north but they will become heavier and thundery later in the day. a lot of dry weather to start with and more cloud across parts of western scotland and northern ireland, thick enough for drizzle but we will see some breaks and sunny intervals developing. these are our temperatures, between 13 and 27 but the north midlands could hit 28 degrees and possibly even 29, so another warm day. through the evening and overnight you can see the showers migrating north and still the potential for

them to be heavy and thundery. there are showers and not all of us will see them and they will be patchy mist and fog locally and it will be quite a humid night and these are the overnight lows falling away between nine and 15 degrees and you can see the first signs of a weather front coming our wayjust in time for tomorrow. talking up tomorrow, still a lot of dry weather, still a fair bit of sunshine and the showers pushing north across scotland will be heavy in places and thundery and as we go through the day a weather front arrives bringing rain across northern ireland and also through parts of wales on the south—west. ahead of this we could see lighter rain and this will be more persistent and the wind will pick up as well. temperatures down from 25 or 26 and as we push further east where are we expected to be dry. through the weekend at low pressure dominates the weather so we see a change to what we are used to when there will be rain and showers and

it will be windier as well as we go through the course of the weekend, so here is the low pressure anchored out towards the west and it's in the west we will see most of the wet weather we might see some rain coming into the far south—east of england as we go through the day on saturday and in between, again, we are looking at sunshine and highs of 21, so you can see the trend it is slipping. as we move from saturday to sunday, low pressure is with us, so on sunday, looking out the isobars it tells you it will be another windy day and the further east you are, the drier it is likely to be and in the west we have the rain moving through followed by showers and temperatures, we are not looking at the high 20s, more likely at best roundabout 21. 0ne one little detail for us. we will be looking at glastonbury. how does it looking at glastonbury. how does it look over the next few days for the folk heading there?— folk heading there? there will be sunshine at _ folk heading there? there will be sunshine at times, _ folk heading there? there will be sunshine at times, some - folk heading there? there will be | sunshine at times, some showers folk heading there? there will be i sunshine at times, some showers and some could be heavy and thundery and tomorrow we could see more persistent rain and going through

for a time. i've made it sound quite bleak but we don't expect it to be a wash—out because there will still be a lot of dry weather. and when it is breezy it will move showers along quickly and help dry things up as well. ., ,., , quickly and help dry things up as well. ., , , , ., ,, well. that sounds pretty good. thank ou ve well. that sounds pretty good. thank you very much- _ well. that sounds pretty good. thank you very much. sounds _ well. that sounds pretty good. thank you very much. sounds all— well. that sounds pretty good. thank you very much. sounds all right? i well. that sounds pretty good. thankj you very much. sounds all right? and wh are you very much. sounds all right? and why are we — you very much. sounds all right? fific why are we talking you very much. sounds all right? e"ic why are we talking about you very much. sounds all right? el"ic why are we talking about it? glastonbury officially kicks off today. hundreds of thousands of people will descend on worthy farm for the first time in three years. among them is nina, this will be her eighth visit but this time will be different as she has now completely lost her sight. abi smitton has been to meet her # to live and let die... it's a spiritual home. there's just something about being in the fields, enjoying great music. you kind of get a sense of being free. # are we human? # or are we dancer?...

nina chesworth is a music festival megafan. our wedding was actually a festival—themed wedding and was in the fallow year of glastonbury, and we decided because we couldn't be there that we would bring glastonbury to our wedding. she's been to glastonbury seven times. this year will be a bit different. her first glastonbury experience since she lost her sight. it's a very visual place, glastonbury. i know i will be able to hear the sounds, but knowing that that visual element has gone, i think it will be hard. nina has been visually impaired for most of her life but two unrelated accidents have left her completely blind. she's also developed a rare condition, charles bonnet syndrome. every day she has to live with vivid hallucinations. it's 4:30am in the uk. when i close my eyes, it's there, and i just can't get away from it.

it's really bright, its bright green, really bright white shapes, and then in the green and the clouds, there are like goblins and lizards coming. and i just can't sleep. i can't shut down from it. one thing that helps stop the visions and helps nina to cope is music. with the music, the fact that ijust lose myself, it helps me forget and i feel like i am included. i don't feel different. i don't feel disabled in that crowd. nina has spent months preparing for glastonbury, finding a way to make it easier and more accessible. this is the tent we are going to be using for glastonbury. she has been used a few times now. usually, in this space, we would have this open and we have the two bedrooms here, so this is one bedroom and we would normally have airbeds in here but we've decided to use camping beds. it's about being organised and

keeping trip hazards out of the way. i have the oil and the washing up liquid bottles here, and i put a bobble, a hair bobble around the washing up liquid so i know that that is washing up liquid, because you don't want to mix those two up. making sure that i know where everything is and making things accessible, and as fun as possible, because that is what glastonbury is about. she will be sharing the trip to worthy farm with her whole family. it's my first time going to glastonbury and i'm really looking forward to blossoms, glass animals and staying in the tent and stuff. it will be a bit different this year and we honestly have _ to give her more support i but all of the cane training, she's done really well, i and learned how to do that, so i think she will be fine and all of the gadgets i and stuff really help, _ but she is doing a really good job and she's going to be good. with glastonbury being so close to our hearts, i'm a little apprehensive about when we get

to the gates and we are going in and i do think we are going to have some sort of moment. yeah. but that is expected, but we will overcome it. after facing a life changing few years, nina and herfamily are ready to experience the festival that means so much to her together. i love the way nina was so organised, and you see this with people who are visually impaired, just those tricks with the shampoo bottle and washing—up liquid, but the way that music obviously is ingrained in her, it's so important as part of her life.— as part of her life. completely determined _ as part of her life. completely determined she _ as part of her life. completely determined she will _ as part of her life. completely determined she will go. i as part of her life. completely determined she will go. she l as part of her life. completely| determined she will go. she is there. determined she will go. she is there- we _ determined she will go. she is there. we know _ determined she will go. she is there. we know she _ determined she will go. she is there. we know she is - determined she will go. she is there. we know she is there . determined she will go. she is l there. we know she is there and determined she will go. she is i there. we know she is there and i think we will— there. we know she is there and i think we will catch _ there. we know she is there and i think we will catch up _ there. we know she is there and i think we will catch up with - there. we know she is there and i think we will catch up with her- think we will catch up with her during the morning, so they are all sorted out and we will see how the tent situation is there.—

thousands of thousands of tents, and time and time yesterday i heard that this was the busiest glastonbury had ever been on the wednesday, and there were a couple of reasons for this. number one, the festival had been off for three years and people who had had those tickets since 2019 were desperate to get there and make the most of it and the other reason was because of the rail strikes. people wanted to get here on the wednesday because that was the day when there wasn't a strike and when we spoke to people they said that their journeys we spoke to people they said that theirjourneys really were not that bad at all. people seemed relieved at how quickly they had got into the festival site compared to the scare stories they had been told, so come back to us later and we will show you around glastonbury on sea and meet a man called pinball gf. brute meet a man called pinball gf. we look forward to it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where

you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as a second national train strike is under way this morning, it's thought the effect of the walk—out on london's hospitality sector will cost around £70 million in lost revenue. less than 20% of services are expected to run today. unlike earlier in the week, union members on the london underground are not striking. this loss in revenues over the three days of strikes will be over half a billion pounds. london is proportionately more dense, if you like, in terms of hospitality venue so it will probably disproportionately higher. we think are probably around 70 million in lost trade, which is really not what we need at the moment. and for more on the strikes throught the day head over the bbc news website or the app where you can get the latest

developments and analysis. the london fire brigade is warning people about the dangers of e—bike batteries after it was confirmed as the cause of a west london tower block fire. the brigade says there have been dozens of similar incidents in recent months. one of london major landmarks, the national gallery has outlined how it plans to celebrate its 200th birthday in 202a. it will include a festival in trafalgar square and a collaboration between 200 social media creators from across the uk. so—called ng—200 will focus on "bringing people and paintings together". a new opera will open today at the albany theatre in southeast london. but with a twist. it has a cast made up of locals. it's set on a beach and looks at our relationship with the planet and the threat climate change presents if it is ignored. 0nto the weather now

with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it is a beautiful start to the day across the capital, just the right amount of cloud and the sun rise recorded by our weather watchers in camberwell and bromley. it won't be completely dry today. there will be some thunderstorms around and there is a met office weather warning in place from ten o'clock this morning right through until midnight. expect some heavy downpours, thunder and lightning all possible. some places could stay dry and the thunderstorms won't be everywhere. as we head through this morning, a dry early start and the cloud in the south—east will move north throughout the morning. expect to see some showers with that cloud but then it will brighten up into the afternoon again, some sunny spells, still feeling warm although temperatures will be a little lower than yesterday and the air will be feeling really quite muggy, just a gentle easterly breeze. the showers where we see them will fade away as we head through the evening and overnight and it will feel warm and muggy tonight but there will be clear skies around into tomorrow morning

and then tomorrow we look out towards the south—west and there will be showers, plenty more cloud around but also some sunny spells and it will be quite breezy. a drop in temperature on friday and another drop, feeling cooler over the weekend. that's it from me, i'm back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. rail services grind to a halt once again as the second day of the biggest train strikes in decades gets underway. it isa it is a lot quieter than normal here at paddington station this morning. just the one in five services are expected to run on the railways nationwide. the rail bosses say the way they work needs to be modernised. the rmt is locked in a bitter dispute overjobs, pay and didn't conditions. the taliban appeals for international help in afghanistan, after an earthquake in the east of the country, which is believed to have killed at least 1,000 people. health officials urge people to make sure their polio vaccines are up to date,

after the virus was found in london sewage samples. warming up nicely for wimbledon. a great day for british tennis at eastbourne, is topped off, by harriet dart, winning two matches in a day, to make today's quarter—finals. another warm day ahead, in the weather forecast as well. some are showers moving north, some of those will be heavy and thundery and as we head into the next few days, it will turn cooler with some showers and rain and also windier. all of the details later on in the programme. it's thursday the 23rd ofjune. most trains in britain are not running again today, as thousands of workers walk out for the second time this week. just 20% of services will operate after talks between the rmt union and railway employers broke down. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has the details. large parts of britain's railway have come to a halt again. 0verall, only about 20% of services will run,

although in some places it's less. northern will operate fewer than 10%. where trains are running services will start late and finish early. kamala lives in cheltenham, where there are no trains at all today. she can't get to her part—time job near bath teaching english as a foreign language. if i can't get to work, i won't have the income to face all the extra energy bills etc. so i do need to get to work. five minutes up the road, this co—working space has seen a big increase in bookings this week. a lot of its customers who would normally travel to london for meetings are having to stay local instead, and do those meetings remotely, including gwen. we are not able to see our clients face to face so therefore we have to continue seeing our clients digitally. it's far from ideal, but we still have ways and means of doing business. so we have to be agile, we have to adapt, we had to adapt to a lockdown, we now have to adapt to strikes.

that's just the way we work now. the disruption comes in a week when a number of big events are taking place, including glastonbury and a test match at headingley which starts today. this second day of strike action is going ahead after further talks between rail bosses and the rmt failed to reach a settlement. the union said the stumbling block was network rail would not withdraw a letter saying it would start a formal consultation into modernisation plans involving redundancies. the rmt blamed the government. when grant shapps talks about modernisation, what he means is cutting people's wages, and sacking people out of the industry. i've got a different idea of what is modern, and that's you go to work and you get paid a wage you can live on. and i've got another idea about modernisation, i think we should modernise the dft and get ourselves a minister that knows what he's talking about. the transport secretary said he had nothing to do with the issuing of the letter or a request to withdraw it. the rail industry is under pressure

to save money and has said reforms to working practices could make savings that made a higher pay offer possible. rail bosses said last night they were disappointed at the lack of a deal and remained available for talks. well, we are absolutely going to stay here for as long as we need to in order to try and find a way through this. the more the strikes go on, the more money that costs the industry, the more disruption it causes. that means we have less money available to make a pay award. it makes it harder to get a deal. so the quicker we get a deal, the better. today, passengers are being told only to take the train if necessary and check before they travel. and another strike day is due on saturday. katie austin, bbc news. ben's at paddington station in london for us this morning. when we first spoke to you in the last hour it was pretty empty completely, there are people there, are they going to be able to take a

dealing with a modernisation issue and we need a pay rise. many of our people have not had a pay rise for two or three years. that is true of the general public as well. many people in the private and public sector have also had their pay suppressed. we are part of a movement trying to rebalance that and get a square dealfor movement trying to rebalance that and get a square deal for everyone and get a square deal for everyone and we hope that we can get support and we hope that we can get support and we hope that we can get support and we are getting support from many members of the travelling public, even yesterday when our members were back at work, many of our passengers were saying to our people, well done and we are with you. mick were saying to our people, well done and we are with you.— and we are with you. mick lynch, can ou and we are with you. mick lynch, can you exoiain — and we are with you. mick lynch, can you exoiain to _ and we are with you. mick lynch, can you explain to people _ and we are with you. mick lynch, can you explain to people watching - and we are with you. mick lynch, can you explain to people watching this l you explain to people watching this programme now exactly where the negotiations stand? are you picking up negotiations stand? are you picking up again today, and what is happening?— up again today, and what is haueninu? , ., , up again today, and what is haueninu? , . , , happening? yes, we are picking up aaain happening? yes, we are picking up again today. _ happening? yes, we are picking up again today, back— happening? yes, we are picking up again today, back into _ happening? yes, we are picking up again today, back into negotiations with the train operating companies and network rail this morning. we are working constructively with them but it is a very difficult situation. we have got some really serious agenda items that the companies are putting before us which includes massivejob cuts companies are putting before us which includes massive job cuts and

reduction in pay and the extension of the working week by up to five hours. ., , ., of the working week by up to five hours. ., y., , .,, ., hours. can you give people an insiaht hours. can you give people an insight into — hours. can you give people an insight into what _ hours. can you give people an insight into what happens - hours. can you give people an insight into what happens in l hours. can you give people an i insight into what happens in that room? has any progress been made? because i know you must have been talking for many, many hours, but only in the past but literally in the last two days. has any progress been made where you have gone in the room and something has changed, you feel that you have got closer to a deal? ., , ., ,., feel that you have got closer to a deal? ., ,, , .,, feel that you have got closer to a deal? ., , deal? can you give some people some kind of insight? _ deal? can you give some people some kind of insight? i— deal? can you give some people some kind of insight? i want _ deal? can you give some people some kind of insight? i want to _ deal? can you give some people some kind of insight? i want to respect - kind of insight? i want to respect the negotiations and the other side of the table but there are some exchanges and ideas being put forward by both parties but the essential point of this is we need a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies and we get that, we can move on positively to the other agenda items which includes stuff that the companies want to pursue about changes to working practices and the adoption of new technology, much of which we have already adopted in this industry and we have

always adopted that. there are a lot of exchanges of ideas but you have got to form that into a concrete proposal and that is the sticky part of the equation. i think it is the government in the form of grant shapps and the treasury stopping those ideas coming forward. if we were dealing with the companies of their own volition we would have had a deal a long time ago. the government have had in this, they are a silent partner in the table, the companies leave the room and go and consult ministers and the department of officials and when they come back, often the situation is worse than when we took the adjournment so that is one of the situation is, is that there is a third party at these meetings, and they are influencing it in a negative way.— they are influencing it in a negative way. they are influencing it in a neaative wa . ., ~ ., ., negative way. you know that the government _ negative way. you know that the government does _ negative way. you know that the government does have - negative way. you know that the government does have the - negative way. you know that the government does have the sign l negative way. you know that the l government does have the sign of negative way. you know that the - government does have the sign of any deal you come to, that is a fact. it is a fact and it is directly written into the train operating companies... 50 into the train operating companies. . ._ into the train operating companies... into the train operating comanies... , , ., , companies... so why is it a problem, mr l nch, companies... so why is it a problem, mr lynch. why _ companies... so why is it a problem,

you and the rail bosses have come to agreement, and they have left the room, as you have described, come back and said, no agreement? has that situation taken place? i uriii that situation taken place? i will rive ou that situation taken place? i will give you a _ that situation taken place? i will give you a for— that situation taken place? i will give you a for instance. - that situation taken place? i will give you a for instance. the - that situation taken place? in ii give you a for instance. the train operating companies yesterday explained to us that they want to go back to all of these disputes we have had over the role of the guard in recent years, and where we have settled that down they want to go back to it. they want to replace our members and three more redundancies and natural wastage and replace them with people on lower wages, lower salaries, and they wish to extend the working week. that is a provocation to any trade union. i cannot go into dispute and come out and say to my members, here's the deal, people are going to be on lower wages than they are on now and they will have more working time. if they will have more working time. if you could, could you come back to my question? as to whether there has literally been an offer on the table

that you were minded to accept and they were, that has been rejected, yes or no, how that happened? meiji. yes or no, how that happened? well, we are putting _ yes or no, how that happened? well, we are putting ideas _ yes or no, how that happened? well, we are putting ideas to _ yes or no, how that happened? vii we are putting ideas to them all the time, and one of the chief ideas is no compulsory redundancies. grant shapps has said in parliament that can be achieved. it's a simple thing to do, if everything is in agreement that they can achieve that, they need to write that down on a piece of paper and sign it and then we can progress on other ideas. we believe that the government is refusing to let them do that... that's the situation we are in. let them do that. .. that's the situation we are in.— let them do that... that's the situation we are in. so, can i ask ou one situation we are in. so, can i ask you one other— situation we are in. so, can i ask you one other question - situation we are in. so, can i ask you one other question linked i situation we are in. so, can i ask you one other question linked to| situation we are in. so, can i ask i you one other question linked to the merseyrail pay deal, so everyone understands, a deal has been done with the union and merseyrail which has been accepted, a payoff of 7.1%. it's important that people understand, merseyrail gets no money from the government, that is a key

difference is i understand it, in this agreement of a number, 7.1% agreed. what is the relevance, you see, of that figure with the talks that are ongoing now? that see, of that figure with the talks that are ongoing now?— see, of that figure with the talks that are ongoing now? that deal is bein: done that are ongoing now? that deal is being done with _ that are ongoing now? that deal is being done with the _ that are ongoing now? that deal is being done with the rmt, - that are ongoing now? that deal is being done with the rmt, we i that are ongoing now? that deal is| being done with the rmt, we other leading union on that company and we negotiate that and we will put that to our members in a referendum ballot. the importance of that is, the dft and the treasury are not pulling the strings in that negotiation. so they are outside this deal, london transport is outside this deal, because they are not under the department for transport�*s requisites. they don't take their instructions from that. that was the rate of inflation in december, that was the anniversary date. they have struck a deal at the retail price index rate, and we are going to consider that i put that to our members. that's also the situation in other companies such as transport for wales which is outside

the ft control and scotrail, where we will get proposals on pay which are far superior to what grant shapps will allow to happen. the message we can take from that, where grant shapps has no influence on this railway, we are getting deals and offers that are likely to be more progressive than the ones we are getting from westminster. iadhen are getting from westminster. when is the next strike, _ are getting from westminster. when is the next strike, if— are getting from westminster. when is the next strike, if things _ are getting from westminster. when is the next strike, if things go ahead now?— is the next strike, if things go ahead now? ., , ~ ., , ahead now? saturday? i know there is one planned — ahead now? saturday? i know there is one pianned for— ahead now? saturday? i know there is one planned for saturday. _ ahead now? saturday? i know there is one planned for saturday. beyond i one planned for saturday. beyond that? we will— one planned for saturday. beyond that? we will review _ one planned for saturday. beyond that? we will review that, - one planned for saturday. beyond that? we will review that, we i one planned for saturday. beyond that? we will review that, we will| that? we will review that, we will come back _ that? we will review that, we will come back next _ that? we will review that, we will come back next week _ that? we will review that, we will come back next week when i that? we will review that, we will- come back next week when everybody is back to work, consult our members, see whether negotiation is continue to talk to the company is about everything that has been put on the table, and review that and see if and when there needs to be new industrial action. if we don't get a settlement, it's extremely likely there will be.— likely there will be. mick lynch, thank you _ likely there will be. mick lynch, thank you very _ likely there will be. mick lynch, thank you very much, _ likely there will be. mick lynch, thank you very much, from i likely there will be. mick lynch, thank you very much, from the | likely there will be. mick lynch, i thank you very much, from the rmt. in connection with the negotiations and the government involvement, the government have said consistently they have not blocked any of the

many are now homeless. searches continue in the rubble, but overnight, heavy rain and hail has hampered the rescue. the air ambulance arrives in a remote area, but the response is limited. it's one of only a handful of helicopters left in the country since the taliban returned to power. the hospital beds in paktika's capital, sharan, were full of both the very youngest and the older. this woman survived but she lost 19 family members, and fears she is now completely alone. "seven in one room, five in another, four in another, then three in another, have all been killed in my family. i can't talk any more, my heart is getting weak," she said. here, the injured are treated. doctors say they're worried about food and supplies in the coming days

as well as waterborne diseases. the un secretary—general antonio guterres says it's fully mobilised with teams on the ground to provide initial support. but it's not yet clear what form that will take long term. the country, one of the poorest in the world, was already facing a humanitarian crisis with millions vulnerable to famine. the ruling taliban still international pariahs, and afghanistan's economy crushed by sanctions. translation: we call- on the international community to help because our country alone cannot handle this incident. we want the international community to start working with us at this time, and to continue their cooperation. as emergency food and medical supplies leave for remote areas, aid agencies fear this disaster may be worse than already seen.

a lack of communication means it's hard to know the extent of help needed or the damage caused. they can only hope that help comes fast enough. frances read, bbc news. two parliamentary by—elections take place today, in wakefield and tiverton and honiton. polls have just opened. both seats were won by the conservatives at the last general election. people in each area will have until 10pm to cast their vote with the results expected in the early hours of tomorrow morning. health officials are urging parents to check their children's polio vaccines are up—to—date after the virus was found in multiple sewage samples in london. no actual cases have been reported and scientists say the risk of catching polio remain low but let's take a quick look at what we now about this disease. it is thought that the virus may

have come from someone who has vaccinated over seas with a life form of the virus. let's have a look at what we know about the polio. it was common in the uk in the 1950s but was eliminated by 2003. that's down to the routine vaccination of children here — firstly when they are babies, then at the age of three, and then at m. take—up of the vaccine is more than 92 % across the uk on average, butjust 86 % in london. let's get more on this with doctor helen wall, who is one of our regular gps here on breakfast. good morning. we will talk about the concern about vaccination and various levels of vaccination across the uk, but i think first, we are trying to offer some reassurance, what is the difference between the vaccine that has been, the remnants of the vaccine that have been found in the sewage, and the vaccines that we take? ~ ., .. ., ., we take? whenever we vaccinate for an health we take? whenever we vaccinate for any health condition, _ we take? whenever we vaccinate for any health condition, there - we take? whenever we vaccinate for any health condition, there is - any health condition, there is always two types of vaccine. what we call a live vaccine, where we take a bit of the virus that we are trying

to protect against and died it down so it's not likely to cause illness and give it to sew —— people sew their own immune response defeats their own immune response defeats the virus. we were using that for polio in this country until 200a. since then we have been using an elective virus, so we take a little particle of the virus protein which —— an elective virus, the protein —— inactive virus, the protein presents itself to the immune system. so then there is no live virus in that vaccine. and if you have the other vaccine, you can shed some of virus in your theses, your stool. at the one we use, you don't do that. when ou shed one we use, you don't do that. when you shed it. — one we use, you don't do that. when you shed it. in _ one we use, you don't do that. when you shed it, in countries _ one we use, you don't do that. when you shed it, in countries where i you shed it, in countries where hygiene is less good, you can still

catch it here, so if you don't wash your hands after you go to the toilet, it can be transferred, what is the impact? is it big enough to give you polio?— is the impact? is it big enough to give you polio? most times, the live vaccine doesn't _ give you polio? most times, the live vaccine doesn't cause _ give you polio? most times, the live vaccine doesn't cause a _ give you polio? most times, the live vaccine doesn't cause a problem i give you polio? most times, the live vaccine doesn't cause a problem for| vaccine doesn't cause a problem for anyone, which is why we give it as a vaccine. but the sewerage samples have been building overfour months, from february to may we have seen an increase in the number of polio pieces in the sewerage, and it started to look like it changing a little bit so there is concern that there has been some transmission between related individuals within the london area. so we have not had any cases of polio detected, we don't know that anyone has actually had polio, but there is a suspicion that it may have been circulating between perhaps family members or relatives in the london area because of what has been found. that is being investigated. the concern is that polio has been eradicated in this country since 2003, because of

the vaccine programme. and we know that vaccine rate uptake has been decreasing in children for some time now. as you say in that introduction, 86% of those in london have had that vaccine and to get good coverage, herd immunity so it protects everyone, we need about 95% uptake. . if protects everyone, we need about 9596 utake. . ., , protects everyone, we need about 9596 utake.. ., , ., . uptake. . if someone is watching this morning _ uptake. . if someone is watching this morning and _ uptake. . if someone is watching this morning and thinking, i i uptake. . if someone is watching | this morning and thinking, i don't know if i have had a polio vaccination, i can't remember if the kids did, go through the basics. how would you know if you are one of those who has had the vaccination or not? , ., ., ,., ., not? the first thing to do, polio mainly affects _ not? the first thing to do, polio mainly affects children - not? the first thing to do, polio mainly affects children and i not? the first thing to do, polio mainly affects children and it i not? the first thing to do, polio mainly affects children and it is| mainly affects children and it is mainly affects children and it is mainly serious in those under five so all parents should have what we call the red the health book so when your child has a vaccine it gets documented. if you are not sure, have a look in the redbook that he will hold at home for your child.

those go missing and people don't have them, contact your gp if you're not sure if your child to be vaccinated. we will hold health records as to whether your vaccines are up—to—date. records as to whether your vaccines are up-to-date-_ records as to whether your vaccines are up-to-date. useful information, thank ou are up-to-date. useful information, thank you very _ are up-to-date. useful information, thank you very much, _ are up-to-date. useful information, thank you very much, good - are up-to-date. useful information, thank you very much, good to i are up-to-date. useful information, thank you very much, good to see . thank you very much, good to see you. glastonbury officially gets under way today. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is there. 0h, oh, look at that! what a scene, what a scene! we oh, look at that! what a scene, what a scene! ~ ., , oh, look at that! what a scene, what a scene! ~ . , ., , ., i. a scene! we are trying to show you around the — a scene! we are trying to show you around the festival _ a scene! we are trying to show you around the festival this _ a scene! we are trying to show you around the festival this year, i a scene! we are trying to show you around the festival this year, this l around the festival this year, this is glastonbury on the sea, a full—size recreation of a seaside pier, a penny arcade, people covered in bird to and a pinball alley run ljy in bird to and a pinball alley run byjeff. yourfirst visit in bird to and a pinball alley run byjeff. your first visit was remarkable? ! by jeff. your first visit was remarkable?— by jeff. your first visit was remarkable? . ., ., remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i— remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was _ remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was lent _ remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was lent a _ remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was lent a horse - remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was lent a horse for- remarkable? i had run out of fuel, and then i was lent a horse for the rest of— and then i was lent a horse for the rest of the — and then i was lent a horse for the rest of the week! tell and then i was lent a horse for the rest of the week!— rest of the week! tell us about

good morning this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as a second national train strike is underway this morning, it's thought the effect of the walkout on london's hospitality sector will cost around 70 million pounds in lost revenue. less than 20% of services are expected to run today. unlike earlier in the week, union members on the london underground are not striking. this loss in revenues over the three days of strikes will be over half a billion pounds. london is proportionately more dense, if you like, in terms of hospitality venue so it will probably disproportionately higher. we think are probably around 70 million in lost trade, which is really not what we need at the moment. and for more on the strikes throughout the day head over the bbc news website or the app where you can get the latest developments and analysis. the london fire brigade is warning people about the dangers

of e—bike batteries after it was confirmed as the cause of a west london tower block fire. the brigade says there have been dozens of similar incidents in recent months. onto some other news now. one of london major landmarks, the national gallery, has outlined how it plans to celebrate it's 200th birthday. it will include a festival in trafalgar square and a collaboration between 200 social media creators from across the uk. so—called ng—200 will focus on "bringing people and paintings together", a new opera will open today at the albany theatre in southeast london. but with a twist — it has a cast made up of locals. it's set on a beach and looks at our relationship with the planet and the threat climate change presents if it is ignored. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it is a beautiful start to the day across the capital, just the right amount

in previous years. the budget airline easyjet announced plans to cut 7% of its 160,000 flights scheduled between july and september. and on monday, around 30 flights carrying up to 5,000 passengers were cancelled at heathow airport, due to technical issues affecting baggage. and things could get worse, because voting closes today for hundreds of gmb union members working as heathrow check—in and ground staff over whether to take strike action, which could result in a walk—out during the summer holidays. greg mckenzie is at heathrow. good morning. what is at the crux of this dispute?— this dispute? good morning, naga. the crux of — this dispute? good morning, naga. the crux of the _ this dispute? good morning, naga. the crux of the dispute _ this dispute? good morning, naga. the crux of the dispute is _ this dispute? good morning, naga. the crux of the dispute is simply i the crux of the dispute is simply overpay. two years ago, british airways imposed a 10% cut for all of it staff because of the pandemic, it

was losing millions of pounds a week. fast forward to this year, it is now reintroducing the 10%, giving it back, but only two bosses at the airline, and senior management. and that 10% had not been given back to ground staff. that is the check—in staff, baggage handlers. the union are saying that that is not fair. if you look back to mondayjust gone, when 5000 passengers were affected by it problems here at heathrow airport, it was many of the check—in staff, the union said, that face abuse from members of the public, verbal and physical abuse, even some check—in staff being spat at by angry passengers following those scenes last monday where they could not check their baggage in. 5000 people had to leave on their flights without their baggage. the union said it is that reason that it's not fair that these lower—level staff

members are not being given that 10% backin members are not being given that 10% back in their wage pack. that ballot will close at 12pm today. and we are expecting the results at about 2pm. should they vote in favour of strike action, the walk—outs will take place injuly. july being the busiest time here at the airport. back to you. thank you, greg at heathrow. the taliban in afghanistan has appealed for international support, after an earthquake killed at least a thousand people and injured another 1,500. both of those numbers are likely to rise over the coming days. the earthquake struck the paktika province which is on the border of pakistan about 30 miles from the city of khost. it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, local time. afghanistan is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because of the geological fault lines which cross the country. the quake measured 6.1 in magnitude, damaging thousands of homes in one of the world's poorest countries. frances read has the latest.

cracks in the walls of what used to be a home. whole villages in this part of the country now gone. this, a major disaster. of those who survive, many are now homeless. searches continue in the rubble, but overnight, heavy rain and hail has hampered the rescue. the air ambulance arrives in a remote area, but the response is limited. it's one of only a handful of helicopters left in the country since the taliban returned to power. the hospital beds in paktika's capital, sharan, were full of both the very youngest and the older. this woman survived but she lost 19 family members, and fears she is now completely alone.

"seven in one room, five in another, four in another, then three in another, have all been killed in my family. i can't talk any more, my heart is getting weak," she said. here, the injured are treated. doctors say they're worried about food and supplies in the coming days as well as waterborne diseases. the un secretary—general antonio guterres says it's fully mobilised with teams on the ground to provide initial support. but it's not yet clear what form that will take long term. the country, one of the poorest in the world, was already facing a humanitarian crisis with millions vulnerable to famine. the ruling taliban still international pariahs, and afghanistan's economy crushed by sanctions. translation: we call- on the international community to help because our country alone cannot handle this incident.

we want the international community to start working with us at this time, and to continue their cooperation. as emergency food and medical supplies leave for remote areas, aid agencies fear this disaster may be worse than already seen. a lack of communication means it's hard to know the extent of help we still haven't got to some of the affected villages, and of course it is such an impoverished area, a lot of the homes are built very simply of the homes are built very simply of mud bricks that have collapsed. so that's why it's so difficult to know exactly how many people are affected. the de facto authorities are saying 1000 dead, we fear it could be more. a lack of communication means it's hard to know the extent of help needed or the damage caused. they can only hope that help comes fast enough. frances read, bbc news. boris johnson has just arrived in rwanda for a meeting of the commonwealth's heads of government. it's the first time leaders

will meet in person since 2018, due to the covid pandemic. they'll be discussing topics including food security, climate change and improving education for women and girls. the virus that causes polio has been detected in a concerning number of sewage samples in london, health officials have said. the uk health security agency says it was probably imported to london by someone who was recently vaccinated overseas with a live form of the virus. the disease was common in the uk in the 19505 but was eradicated by 2003. most people, again, should not be too worried because the vast majority of people in this country are probably vaccinated and vaccine protects very well against this virus. but we are using this as an opportunity to remind people who for whatever reason haven't got round to getting vaccinated or delayed getting vaccinated over the pandemic to come forward and get their vaccines now. voting is now underway in two parliamentary by—elections which are taking place today,

in wakefield and tiverton and honiton. both seats were won by the conservatives at the last general election. let's speak to our political correspondent helen catt. just talk us through these by—elections. just talk us through these by-elections._ just talk us through these b -elections. ., ' by-elections. two quite different areas of the _ by-elections. two quite different areas of the country _ by-elections. two quite different areas of the country voting - by-elections. two quite different areas of the country voting today by-elections. two quite different i areas of the country voting today to elect new mps. as you said, both of these seats, the city of wakefield in west yorkshire and the very rural seat of tiverton and honiton in devon. as you said, both of them were won by the conservatives in the 2019 general election, wakefield with a majority of 3358, tiverton and huntington with the majority of 24200 and 39. -- and huntington with the majority of 24200 and 39. —— tiverton and honiton. wakefield became vacant when the former mp imran ahmad khan stepped down after being convicted of sexually assaulting a is—year—old boy in 2008. tiverton and honiton became vacant when the former mp neil parish resigned after admitting he had watched pornography on his phonein he had watched pornography on his phone in the house of commons.

voting is open until 10pm, they are counting overnight so we should have a result early tomorrow morning. thank you very much. let's have a look at what is going on with the weather, a lovely picture, carol, good morning. good morning, it is indeed, a beautiful view in edinburgh, blue skies. it has been brightening up quite nicely in edinburgh this morning but you can see a line of cloud across parts of scotland and northern ireland and another one bearing showers, coming up from the channel islands and into the south—east. this one will be pushing northwards through the day so the shower is becoming a little bit more widespread, some of them heavy and thundery, and a lot of us will miss them altogether and stay right with sunshine. cloud across western scotland and northern ireland thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle but as we go through the day it should brighten up. temperatures today, 13 to 26 degrees. somewhere in northern england or the north midlands could reach 28 or 29. the

other thing worth noting other pollen levels, high or very high away from the north and north—west. in the overnight period, the show is pushing northwards, not all of us seeing them, some will be happy. patchy mist and fog forming but not problematic, it will be a humid night. tomorrow morning any patchy mist and fog will disperse quite rapidly and a lot of dry weather to start with, thundery showers moving north, further showers developing through the day and then we have got rain coming in, more persistent from the west, accompanied by a strengthening wind. top temperatures tomorrow, 25 or 26. thank you very much. if you walk along london's south bank at the moment you'll pass a series of images, there are 50 in total. they each show a different person and, as you can see, most of them look perfectly happy.

in fact, all of these photographs were taken shortly before that person took their own life. it's part of a campaign by the campaign against living miserably which aims to make us think twice about what suicidal behaviour might look like. let's speak now to poorna bell, who lost her husband rob to suicide in 2015. his image is among those featured in this exhibition. good morning to you, poorna. how does it feel standing in front of rob's image?— does it feel standing in front of rob's image? does it feel standing in front of rob'simaae? ~ ., ., , �*, . rob's image? mixed emotions. it's an incredibly emotional _ rob's image? mixed emotions. it's an incredibly emotional experience, - incredibly emotional experience, it's hard to explain until you a chilly walk through it. it is extremely beautiful. it's so poignant, because you realise that every single person who is here is here because they are no longer with us. i think the fact that they are

all smiling is that it undermines a very important message from calm the charity that has organised this, it overturns this idea that we have for people who are so most —— suicidal behaving in a particular way, but seeing everyone smiling reminds you that these people lived. and that they should not have had to pass away in this manner. i they should not have had to pass away in this manner.— they should not have had to pass away in this manner. i can see the detail and — away in this manner. i can see the detail and some _ away in this manner. i can see the detail and some of _ away in this manner. i can see the detail and some of the _ away in this manner. i can see the detail and some of the pictures i detail and some of the pictures behind you, the name, first name and the age of the person who is pictured. rob's image as i mentioned is amongst those, we are showing pictures now of if you walk along the south bank, these pictures. tell me, whatever you are comfortable with, about rob, who he was. 0h,... rob was a — with, about rob, who he was. 0h,... rob was a complicated _ with, about rob, who he was. 0h,... rob was a complicated man. - with, about rob, who he was. 0h,... rob was a complicated man. but - with, about rob, who he was. 0h,... rob was a complicated man. but i i rob was a complicated man. but i would say one of the kindest, cleverest people that i knew. he was a massive bird nerd, massively into

science, he loved punk rock. he would be the science who, if you asked him for help, he would always offer it and have his door open to you. and it's hard to believe that seven years on, that he's gone. he was the love of my life, he remains the love of my life. and he's remembered by all of us with great fondness and sadness, but a lot of fondness. ,., ., ., fondness and sadness, but a lot of fondness. ., . , fondness. good morning, poorna, this is charlie. whenever _ fondness. good morning, poorna, this is charlie. whenever we _ fondness. good morning, poorna, this is charlie. whenever we talk _ fondness. good morning, poorna, this is charlie. whenever we talk about - is charlie. whenever we talk about mental— is charlie. whenever we talk about mental health and people taking their own lives, one of the things that often— their own lives, one of the things that often emerges is the very simple — that often emerges is the very simple things of asking people how they are, _ simple things of asking people how they are, and it is giving people time _ they are, and it is giving people time to— they are, and it is giving people time to talk. sometimes these things sound _ time to talk. sometimes these things sound like _ time to talk. sometimes these things sound like the most obvious of questions, and may be just lingering on the _ questions, and may be just lingering on the answer and just checking with people. _ on the answer and just checking with people, what do you have to say about _ people, what do you have to say about that — people, what do you have to say about that notion of how you try and find out _ about that notion of how you try and find out what's really going on in

out, whether it's to go out for a coffee, to work on something together, whether it's just part of activity, to go for a walk, and to just be nonjudgemental and neutral and keep that space open and clear so if that person wants to ask and talk about it, they can. {line so if that person wants to ask and talk about it, they can.— so if that person wants to ask and talk about it, they can. one of the other things _ talk about it, they can. one of the other things that _ talk about it, they can. one of the other things that you _ talk about it, they can. one of the other things that you will - talk about it, they can. one of the other things that you will know - talk about it, they can. one of the | other things that you will know very well from _ other things that you will know very well from personal experience is the impact _ well from personal experience is the impact on _ well from personal experience is the impact on the loved ones, and the friends, _ impact on the loved ones, and the friends, someone who takes their own life. because that you can be really concerning, — life. because that you can be really concerning, and it can have a really genuinely— concerning, and it can have a really genuinely long—term devastating on people _ genuinely long-term devastating on --eole. �* . genuinely long-term devastating on --eole. �*, , ., .,�* people. it's... devastating i don't thinkthat's _ people. it's... devastating i don't think that's it. _ people. it's... devastating i don't think that's it. i _ people. it's... devastating i don't think that's it. i would _ people. it's... devastating i don't think that's it. i would say - people. it's... devastating i don't think that's it. i would say that i people. it's. .. devastating i don't| think that's it. i would say that we lose i25 think that's it. i would say that we lose 125 people every week to suicide, we lose 18 people every day. and i think about every single person that we lose and their families, and the black hole that surrounds that death. rob died in

2015, which was seven years ago, and there is not a day that has passed when i don't think about him, i don't think about the impact, and i don't think about the impact, and i don't think about this wonderful man who was my best friend who was is just no longer here. i don't know that there is a death that you can ever really move past, you have to live with the consequences of it, and i would say to anyone that is struggling is that what feels like an impossible situation is possible, it does get better, it will pass, so hold on. it's notjust about the devastation that it causes, but it's about the possibilities being endless if you are here, and the things that can change and the recovery that can happen around that. the devastation that it causes is immeasurable in that person passes away. is immeasurable in that person passes away-— is immeasurable in that person passes away. poorna, it's a very strikint passes away. poorna, it's a very striking campaign, _ passes away. poorna, it's a very striking campaign, and - passes away. poorna, it's a very striking campaign, and i'm - passes away. poorna, it's a very striking campaign, and i'm sure| passes away. poorna, it's a very - striking campaign, and i'm sure many people having listened to you today of course and walking through and seeing those people who were fine at that moment in time, it will resonate with a lot of people. thank

travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. as we've been hearing a second national train strike is underway this morning — with less than 20% of services expected to run in the capital today. unlike earlier in the week, union members on the london underground are not striking. it's thought the effect of the walkout on london's hospitality sector will cost around 70 million pounds in lost revenue. this loss in revenues over the three days of strikes will be over half a billion pounds. london is proportionately more dense, if you like, in terms of hospitality venues so it will probably disproportionately higher. we think probably around 70 million in lost trade, which is really not what we need at the moment. and for more on the strikes throughout the day head over the bbc news website or the app

where you can get the latest developments and analysis. the london fire brigade is warning people about the dangers of e—bike batteries after it was confirmed as the cause of a west london tower block fire. the brigade says there have been dozens of similar incidents in recent months. onto some other news now — one of london major landmarks the national gallery has outlined how it plans to celebrate its 200th birthday. it will include a festival in trafalgar square and a collaboration between 200 social media creators from across the uk. so—called ng200 will focus on "bringing people and paintings together", a new opera will open today at the albany theatre in southeast london. but with a twist — it has a cast made up of locals. it's set on a beach and looks at our relationship with the planet and the threat climate change presents if it is ignored. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini

good morning. once again it is a beautiful start to the day across the capital, just the right amount of cloud and the sunrise recorded by our weather watchers in camberwell and bromley. it won't be completely dry today. there will be some thunderstorms around and there is a met office weather warning in place from ten o'clock this morning right through until midnight. expect some heavy downpours, thunder and lightning all possible. some places could stay dry and the thunderstorms won't be everywhere. as we head through this morning, a dry early start and the cloud in the south—east will move north throughout the morning. expect to see some showers with that cloud but then it will brighten up into the afternoon again, some sunny spells, still feeling warm although temperatures will be a little lower than yesterday and the air will be feeling really quite muggy, just a gentle easterly breeze. the showers where we see them will fade away as we head through the evening and overnight and it will feel warm and muggy tonight but there will be clear skies around into tomorrow morning and then tomorrow we look out towards the south—west and there will be showers, plenty more cloud

around but also some sunny spells and it will be quite breezy. a drop in temperature on friday and another drop, feeling cooler over the weekend. do stay in touch by following us on our social media channels. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. on yesterday's breakfast we saw the gates of glastonbury opening up for the first time in three years. now the tents are pitched, the music can begin. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is there. on the face of it, that does not look like in glastonbury. ihla. on the face of it, that does not look like in glastonbury.- on the face of it, that does not look like in glastonbury. no, i do love to be _ look like in glastonbury. no, i do love to be beside _ look like in glastonbury. no, i do love to be beside the _ look like in glastonbury. no, i do love to be beside the seaside - look like in glastonbury. no, i do l love to be beside the seaside when it is right in the middle of the glastonbury festival. this is glastonbury festival. this is glastonbury on sea, a full—size recreation of a seaside pier. it's

one of the hits of this year's glastonbury and there are queues for an hour to get in here. there is bingo, penny arcades, a pinball alley and there is a bandstand and it being glastonbury, the band is a robot. you meet all kinds of characters that glastonbury, and we will be hearing about a woman called nina, a glastonbury veteran, but this is herfirst glastonbury nina, a glastonbury veteran, but this is her first glastonbury since losing her sight. we will see her live in a moment, but first we went to meet her. # to live and let die... it's a spiritual home. there's just something about being in the fields, enjoying great music. you kind of get a sense of being free. # are we human? # or are we dancer?... nina chesworth is a music and festival megafan. our wedding was actually

a festival—themed wedding and was in the fallow year of glastonbury, and we decided because we couldn't be there that we would bring glastonbury to our wedding. she's been to glastonbury seven times. this year will be a bit different. her first glastonbury experience since she lost her sight. it's a very visual place, glastonbury. i know i will be able to hear the sounds, but knowing that that visual element has gone, i think it will be hard. nina has been visually impaired for most of her life but two unrelated accidents have left her completely blind. she's also developed a rare condition, charles bonnet syndrome. every day she has to live with vivid hallucinations. it's 4:30am in the uk. when i close my eyes, it's there, and i just can't get away from it. one thing that helps stop the visions and helps nina to cope is music. with the music, the fact

that ijust lose myself, it helps me forget and i feel like i am included. i don't feel different. i don't feel disabled in that crowd. nina has spent months preparing for glastonbury, finding ways to make it easier and more accessible. this is the tent we are going to be using for glastonbury. she has been used a few times now. usually, in this space, we would have this open and we have the two bedrooms here, so this is one bedroom and we would normally have airbeds in here but we've decided to use camping beds. it's about being organised and keeping trip hazards out of the way. after facing a life changing few years, nina and herfamily are ready to go to the festival that means so much to them. i'm delighted to say we can speak to nina and herfamily. this is her husband steve and their

sons, alfie and dylan. nina, you have arrived at glastonbury yesterday at around six in the evening, and you've been lots of times, seven times, but the first times, seven times, but the first time since losing your site. tell us how the experience has been so far. it's been good and we got here and everything ran smoothly and people in the accessible camping were so lovely and nice, really friendly. we got set up at about ten or 11. yeah, really good, it was nice on the boys put the tent up. stand really good, it was nice on the boys put the tent up— put the tent up. and how does the experience — put the tent up. and how does the experience work _ put the tent up. and how does the experience work for _ put the tent up. and how does the experience work for you? - put the tent up. and how does the experience work for you? what . experience work for you? what role will steve be playing? the experience work for you? what role will steve be playing?— will steve be playing? the three of them are my _ will steve be playing? the three of them are my eyes. _ will steve be playing? the three of them are my eyes. alfie _ will steve be playing? the three of them are my eyes. alfie has - will steve be playing? the three of them are my eyes. alfie has been| them are my eyes. alfie has been describing the pier to me because i haven't seen this, this is a new feature and it wasn't here last time we were here, so that they describe everything for me and then steve guides me around to make sure i don't trip on anything. ijust hope the rain stays off a bit. the don't trip on anything. i 'ust hope the rain stays off a bit._ the rain stays off a bit. the music starts later— the rain stays off a bit. the music starts later today _ the rain stays off a bit. the music starts later today and _ the rain stays off a bit. the music starts later today and you - the rain stays off a bit. the music starts later today and you have i the rain stays off a bit. the music i starts later today and you have been to your first concert since losing

line and others help them to get there. our sport is no different than others, just in a pool. we push through limits and sometimes we find them." i have tried the sport, and that is the solo— i have tried the sport, and that is the solo version, but same sort of thing _ the solo version, but same sort of thing and — the solo version, but same sort of thing and it's like running a hundred _ thing and it's like running a hundred metres under water holding your breath. it's one of the most tong _ your breath. it's one of the most lung busting sports there is in the lun- lung busting sports there is in the lung capacity is incredible. haste lung capacity is incredible. have ou seen lung capacity is incredible. have you seen that — lung capacity is incredible. have you seen that before? _ lung capacity is incredible. have you seen that before? i've - lung capacity is incredible. have you seen that before? i've not l lung capacity is incredible. have - you seen that before? i've not seen it before. you seen that before? i've not seen it before- if — you seen that before? i've not seen it before. if you _ you seen that before? i've not seen it before. if you faint. .. _ you seen that before? i've not seen it before. if you faint. .. the - it before. if you faint. .. the procedure _ it before. if you faint. .. the procedure worked - it before. if you faint. .. the procedure worked and - it before. if you faint. .. the procedure worked and she i it before. if you faint. .. the i procedure worked and she was it before. if you faint. .. the - procedure worked and she was saved by the _ procedure worked and she was saved by the coach and she noticed she was in trouble _ by the coach and she noticed she was in trouble. and she averted a worse situation _ in trouble. and she averted a worse situation. . ~' , ., ~ ~' here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. for many of us we started with blue skies and it will be another sunny day and a warm one again but there are showers in the forecast and in fact the next few days will see us turn cooler from tomorrow with still some heavy showers in the forecast on the wind is also going to strengthen. what's been happening overnight as we have watched a set on weather fronts

produce cloud and showers on the near continent and we have moved across the english channel and into the south—east and as we go through the south—east and as we go through the rest of the day we will continue to push steadily north and you can see the cloud is building around them. there are showers and so not all of us will catch one but through the afternoon if you do, it could be heavy and thundery as they continue their journey heavy and thundery as they continue theirjourney into northern england. meanwhile for scotland and northern ireland you have more cloud at the moment but we should see it break and bright or sunny intervals develop with temperatures 13 in lerwick and 25 in liverpool and 26 in london. but somewhere in northern england or the north midlands could see 28 or 29 degrees as a top temperature today. through the evening and overnight we can see the progress the showers are making and still the potential for them to be heavy and thundery and there will be patchy mist and fog forming, nothing too problematic and it's also going too problematic and it's also going to be a humid night with overnight lows between nine and 16 degrees.

into tomorrow we start with a lot of dry weather with thundery showers continuing to migrate northwards across scotland and then through the day, further showers will develop almost anywhere and then you can see almost anywhere and then you can see a weather front coming in from the west introducing more persistent rain and strengthening winds. temperatures tomorrow up to 25 or 26 where we have fewer showers and dry conditions in the east. for the weekend, low pressure moves in and anchors itself over ireland and you can see all of the rain and the showers moving around it and the wind as well is picking up and it will be windier than recent days. we start with a lot of dry weather and some sunshine and where we have the low pressure we have rain or showers coming in from the west, fewer in the east, but the tail end of a weather front could produce some rain across the east of kent or the east of east anglia as well. buy them temperatures around 21 degrees. and then into sunday we have this low pressure anchored out to the

west on the isobars will tell you it will be another windy day and again the east is likely to be the driest with the fewest showers out towards the west with rain or showers and as i mentioned, windy and still temperatures between the mid and high teens but for some what we might squeeze out 20 or 21, so the weather turns unsettled again after today and that bit cooler and also a bit windier than we have been used to. the islands of saint kilda lie way out in the north atlantic, at the westernmost point of the outer hebrides. they're home to nearly one million seabirds. now conservationists are warning that the avian—flu outbreak could lead to the extinction of one particular species — the great skua. iain macinnes has been to take a look. it's often said to be on the edge of the world. but even here in st kilda, over 100 miles from the scottish mainland, the effect of the avian flu outbreak is being felt.

it's more than 90 years now since the last st kildans were evacuated from these homes, but the centuries before that, the sea beds that surrounded this archipelago were integral to their way of life. now with avian flu in these islands, there is real concern about the impact it could have on various species on the islands. 0n the hill above village bay, kilda's seabird ranger is keeping a close eye on great skua territory. they have been badly affected. craig describes this as his most challenging season yet. at the end of last season, i was already worried about the 60 birds that had died, how many more i had missed. i knew that the population was going to be impacted. but it wasn't until i got back, i think was around about the 28th of april, that i found the first dead bird. since then, the number of dead birds has just been increasing every day. that number is now at 120

this year and counting. it's thought across many colonies, including here in st kilda, that between two thirds and three quarters of great skuas have been lost. and with only between 15 and 20,000 breeding pairs worldwide, if avian flu continues to have such an impact, the species' very existence could be under threat. that's alarming and heartbreaking to witness. really, really worrying that this bird that i grew up with for many years now on multiple islands is on the verge of extinction. those on the island are doing what they can to limit any spread, especially to other species. when people do arrive, whether it's on cruise boat or on a day boat, we can have that introductory talk with people to make sure they can are both aware of the situation that we have on the developments that will be ongoing with that, and our biosecurity measures to make sure those are fully in place.

and it may be that we have to restrict areas of the island in future, so asking people to only explore certain areas for their safety and safety of the birds. the outbreak continues to be monitored nationally and internationally, with the risk to human health described as very low. but people are being reminded not to touch dead or dying birds. craig, though, is concerned about the future. the most worrying thing about this is that we don't know how much further it's going to go, how many more species it's going to affect. to see this happening to the birds that i'm monitoring is heartbreaking. i came here to monitor live birds, i take great pride in the work that i do, but it's rapidly becoming a major part of myjob to report dead birds. it's worrying times. that was iain macinnes reporting. we're going to speak to shaggy in a moment. he to shaggy in a moment. is sitting here with us, wit fabulous he is sitting here with us, with a fabulous hat. we will find out about that and a second. good morning.
