6:01 am
year's glastonbury festival. is year's glastonbury festival. one british spectacle e another is one british spectacle ends, another begins. good morning from wimbledon on day one of the championships with andy murray and emma raducanu both in action. and the weatherfor emma raducanu both in action. and the weather for wimbledon is mixed, we could see some showers late morning early afternoon, they will clear, then dry and sunny conditions, that is the forecast for most of us. showers moving east, some will be heavy and thundery, followed by sunshine but northern ireland will see some rain in the afternoon. all of the details through the programme. it's monday 27th june. our main story. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, will today urge leaders from the world's richest countries to do more to help his country fight back against the russian invaders. in a video address to the g7 summit in germany, he's expected to renew his call for more heavy artillery and air defences.
6:02 am
our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. they said they wanted to put on a show of unity. well, after dinner and drinks last night, that's exactly what these leaders did. what matters now is what they do with it. these protesters in bavaria are helping to keep the war in ukraine firmly on the g7 agenda. a summit that will be addressed today by president zelensky, who is expected to ask once again for more heavy weapons. president zelensky knows that he is only going to win the war in ukraine if the leaders in there stay united and show resolve for the long term. so what he wants from them is a note of unity, no noises off. one of his biggest supporters is borisjohnson, who is urging his fellow leaders to tip the military balance in kyiv�*s favour. the price of freedom is worth paying. you know, this something, it's worth us standing up for together.
6:03 am
and that's the principle that a free, independent, sovereign country like ukraine should not be violently invaded, and should not have its boundaries changed by force. but even the prime minister admits the consequences for the rest of the world are tough, with rising costs of energy and food. that's why leaders like president modi of india, here getting mobbed by supporters in germany, have been invited to take part in the summit today, to discuss what could be done to lower prices and find alternatives to russian energy. the leaders are considering plans for a cap on the price of oil, and financial aid to those countries suffering the most. their biggest challenge, how to help ukraine win while helping the world with the consequences. james landale, bbc news, at the g7 summit. let's speak to our berlin correspondentjenny hill.
6:04 am
we will talk about that precise conflict. jenny is covering the g7. the war in ukraine dominating the summit as european leaders, some of them losing their appetite for helping out, just explain this contradiction. i’m helping out, just explain this contradiction.— helping out, just explain this contradiction. i'm not sure it's accurate to — contradiction. i'm not sure it's accurate to state _ contradiction. i'm not sure it's accurate to state they - contradiction. i'm not sure it's accurate to state they are - contradiction. i'm not sure it's l accurate to state they are losing their appetite, certainly not in public. the real sense here is that they are all very keen to make sure that they are sending a message of strong support ukraine. even though they are painfully conscious that they are painfully conscious that the consequences of that war is exacerbating for example the cost of living crisis which has been so painfully felt by many of their citizens back home in their respective countries. president zelensky, when he addresses them today, is expected to call for more support, a particular heavy weaponry, and he is asking we think probably for modern air defence systems. some of the leaders here
6:05 am
have indicated their willingness to provide more weaponry to ukraine at various points over the last few days and weeks, many of the countries have already sent weaponry, albeit in some cases very slowly. we will have to wait and see what pledges come out from today's session on ukraine. what you can be sure of is we will see a pledge for a great deal of economic support for the country. the leaders here are as you saw injames's report very conscious as well of the ongoing consequences of this war on things like energy supply around the world, food supply around the world. they are very keen to put the squeeze on vladimir putin so they are discussing current sanctions, reviewing current sanctions, looking at what more might be done, they are looking as you saw at this idea of trying to cap oil prices, they are also looking at a ban on the export of russian gold. they are i think feeling the pressure, this war is going on, having huge impact not only on their countries and their
6:06 am
people back home but on countries around world and they need to do something about that. qm. around world and they need to do something about that. 0k, jenny, thank ou something about that. 0k, jenny, thank you very — something about that. 0k, jenny, thank you very much. _ mps will vote later on controversial new legislation which would give ministers powers to override parts of the post—brexit arrangements for northern ireland. the government wants to make it easier to move goods between britain and northern ireland, but the eu says changing the agreement would break the law. we're joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley. good morning. this vote follows those two by—election defeats for the conservatives last week, could this be the start of a challenging few days for borisjohnson? goad few days for boris johnson? good mornin: . few days for boris johnson? good morning. while _ few days for boris johnson? good morning. while the _ few days for boris johnson? good morning. while the pm _ few days for boris johnson? good morning. while the pm is - few days for boris johnson? good morning. while the pm is at - few days for boris johnson? (13mm morning. while the pm is at the g7, the government is going to take the next step towards this controversial legislation that would allow it to override part of the brexit deal to make sure that goods travelling between great britain and northern ireland flow a lot easier. the argument you are going to hearfrom the foreign secretary today is that
6:07 am
the foreign secretary today is that the uk is obliged to act to make sure that northern ireland can trade properly with great britain, but the european union absolutely hates this legislation and thinks that it basically undermines the brexit deal that remember, borisjohnson signed just a few short years ago. this is a pretty long process, though, there is a vote today but that doesn't pass this legislation. it still has to go through various stages in parliament and through the house of lords as well. i think mps will back it, ithink lords as well. i think mps will back it, i think there will be a big battle over it in the house of lords. all the while, you have, as you say, the context of what happened last week, and the by—election defeat for the prime minister, all these questions again over his leadership, his future, as prime minister. you may think you have had this one before, it does feel a bit like groundhog day, i know. but again there is this position in the conservative party where a lot of tory mps are really uncomfortable with what's going on,
6:08 am
they are looking at different ways they are looking at different ways they can maybe try to force another confidence vote in the prime minister, maybe in a few weeks or a few months' time. it's fair to say that those comments he made about potentially staying on for another ten years in power have gone down like a lead balloon with parts of his party. but at the moment it does feel like this is just dragging on, not necessarily heading towards a crescendo because the cabinet don't want to act and forcing another confidence vote could take a while. so it goes on. confidence vote could take a while. 50 it goes om— confidence vote could take a while. so it goes om— confidence vote could take a while. so it goes on. thank you very much, nick. a man is in hospital with life—threatening injuries after an explosion destroyed a house in birmingham. at least four other people were injured and three more homes were damaged in the blast, which is believed to have been caused by a gas leak. simonjones has the latest. shock and confusion in the aftermath of a huge explosion. a fierce fire takes hold on the residential street.
6:09 am
a man was dragged from the burning building by neighbours, and taken to hospital. other people were injured. these pictures released by the west midlands fire service reveal the extent of the destruction. the whole house ripped down, others badly damaged. i was sat at home, i heard a loud explosion, that was just after 8:30pm. immediately went on to social media because that's where you get a lot of information from, to see if there was anything to say what it was. found out quite quickly that people were reporting on social media that there had been an explosion in the house. at that point i decided that as the councillor, i should come down. not to be nosy, but to see what i could do to help people. a big police cordon was soon established in the area. six fire engines and three ambulances were sent to the scene. search and rescue dogs have been going through the debris to make sure everyone is accounted for. the police have praised residents who helped each other out in the immediate aftermath of the blast. some have had to spend the night
6:10 am
away from their homes. it has been too dangerous for them to return. the explosion is now under investigation. the fire service believe it was caused by a gas leak. police are warning the disruption in the area will continue for some time to come. simon jones, bbc news. nhs patients in england who have been waiting more than two years for surgery are being offered hospital treatment in alternative parts of the country. the offer is being made to more than 6000 people, who'll be helped with travel and accommodation costs. it's part of a drive to tackle the backlog of operations which built up during the covid pandemic. the former prime minister sirjohn major will give evidence at a public inquiry today, into what's been described as the biggest medical disaster in the history of the nhs. almost 5,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with hiv or hepatitis c in the 19705 and 80s after being given a new treatment meant to improve their lives.
6:11 am
others were exposed after being given a blood transfusion in surgery or child birth. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. i suppose the biggest impact is i'm not the person i'm meant to have been. you can't erase the darkness, you can't erase the fear. it's always lurking. mark was just a child when he was warned about a medication he'd been given. his parents were told his new treatment for a blood disorder had been contaminated with hiv. i can't really describe the feeling, because it was, well, first of all, you question, why are you going to school to take exams for a future and a life you're not going to have? when your doctor says, "if you're lucky, but i don't think you will live long enough to leave school," why bother? why? mark's life was saved by new hiv drugs. 0thers died before they could be made available.
6:12 am
in total, 5000 people with haemophilia were left with hiv, hepatitis or both. many more were exposed after a blood transfusion in the 70s and 805. i do solemnly and sincerely... in 2019, mark gave evidence at the public inquiry into the disaster. today, sirjohn major will take the same stand. the first former prime minister to be questioned under oath about the government's response and the approach to compensation. it's vital. he held the highest office in the land and i think it's going to be emotional because everything i do isn'tjust for me. it's for all those little boys not here. it's for all of my friends that aren't here. it's my friends right now who are so ill, they might not live to see it yet. and all we've ever wanted is the truth and justice. i was falling asleep, i was being sick. melanie was another of the thousands
6:13 am
infected when she was just 17. she was diagnosed with hepatitis c, a disease which can slowly destroy the liver, and has suffered from health problems ever since. as soon as i found out what hepatitis c was, and realised that it was impacting on my life and that i was possibly not going to see my children grow up, it has been like living without being alive. it's had a huge impact on every single victim. that feeling of, it could have been avoided. melanie is now on a different, modern treatment to control her blood disorder. like thousands of others, though, she is still living with the consequences of what happened three decades ago and still looking for answers so many years later. jim reed, bbc news. frank williams, who played reverend timothy farthing in the bbc sitcom dad's army,
6:14 am
has died at the age of 90. 0h, isay! well, bless you. that's rather taken the wind out of my sails. i came in here to be very cross with you, mr mainwaring. the london—born actor started his career in repertory theatre, where he met the dad's army co—creatorjimmy perry. frank also played a clergyman in otherjimmy perry shows including you rang m'lord? and hi—de—hi. we have lost so many of those guys from dad's army the last few years, i think only ian lavender survives from the original cast. so some sad news there. pm from the original cast. so some sad news there-— from the original cast. so some sad news there. �* ., ., news there. an important day for the sort and news there. an important day for the sport and weather— news there. an important day for the sport and weather teams _ news there. an important day for the sport and weather teams out - news there. an important day for the sport and weather teams out and - sport and weather teams out and about in a certain corner of south—west london. morning, carol!

6:16 am
overnight the rain gathering across north—west scotland and northern ireland will move a bit further east, n getting into cumbria. and also north and west wales. it will be a chilly night with clear skies but where we have cloud and rain, 11 to 13 degrees. tomorrow the weather front bearing the rain very slowly drifts east. of it there will be a fair bit of sunshine, the cloud building through the day, and we mightjust be a shower tomorrow, a small chance at wimbledon but tomorrow's temperatures up a touch and we are looking at stronger winds through the irish sea, especially the west coast touching gale force at time. the weather this week looking a bit more unsettled than last week. gorgeous to see you there, wimbledon looking glorious for 2022, talk to you soon. looking glorious for 2022, talk to ou soon. �* looking glorious for 2022, talk to ou soon. ~ ., ., ., ,

6:18 am
as soon as we capsized, we got on board, i spoke to sophie he was in the cabin, i said, "please get on the radio, who was in the cabin, i said, "please get on the radio, talk to the coast guard and tell them what's happened. report our location, five pob, everybody is ok but that we have capsized". it was just giving them a heads up. in the end it was their decision, they overrode our decision to continue and they sent out a boat to tow us in. it was genuinely dangerous out there once we were under water. it was only because the boat was so efficient at what it does, and that's self righting itself, that we were all safe and sound. things can go wrong and it was a little bit hairy for me, there were a few ropes tangled up here and there that you couldn't have predicted would happen either. you do think of your loved ones when things go wrong but then you're quickly on—board and you get your thoughts together again. all the rowers are said to be safe and well and at least some of them are hoping to continue the competition which appears to be living up to its billing as the world's toughest rowing race. will batchelor, bbc news.

great to see you, thank you, aimee, live from the wimbledon queue as everyone is waiting to get him for the first day. it's very civilised actually. there is a coffee cart and somewhere to get the loo. they are all quite nicely spread out. i thought she was asking the questions for us to do the answer is, she's doing a recce so she can go next to casal. we will —— she —— she can go next week. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. tfl will start fining motorists caught driving in cycle lanes from today. the government has introduced new powers, meaning fines can be issued in the same way as for bus lanes and yellow box junctions. the think tank centre for london thinks it's a good move. i don't think tfl have ever had
6:27 am
the powers before to enforce encroachment into cycle lanes. and with more and more people cycling, and with more and more cycle lanes, i think that's also really important, not only from a safety perspective, but again, it'll increase capacity and the speed at which people can cycle around the city, which i think�*s only a good thing. detectives are continuing to appeal for information after a woman was killed in east london yesterday morning. police say the 36—year—old victim had been walking alone along cranbrook road in ilford towards gants hill tube station. no arrests have been made, and an increased police presence in the area over the next few days. new figures from city hall show more than 400 e—scooters have been seized by the met police since the start of january. the use of the scooters on public roads and cycle lines is illegal. tfl says policing partners are continuing to crackdown on repeat offenders. last year it cost the met more than £300,000 to store the electric vehicles
6:28 am
before disposing of them. a large sinkhole which appeared on a street in bexley on tuesday night, will take up to six week to fix. the section of road on st martens avenue collapsed, and even swallowed up a motorbike. pipes and sewers were damaged, but nobody was hurt when the sinkhole appeared. let's take a look at how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on all lines so far this morning. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. there's lots of dry weather in the forecast as we head through the rest of this week across the capital. some sunshine around at times, and temperatures will tend to stay round about the average, or a little bit below, for this time of year. now, having said that it's going to stay dry, there will be some showers around today, but plenty of early sunshine. temperatures to start off the morning in double figures. we'll see things cloud over from the west round about lunchtime, and some showery outbreaks of rain
6:29 am
move eastwards a little bit before for western home counties. and we could see a few interruptions to play perhaps for the first day at wimbledon. not everywhere will see the showers. there could be a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a few heavy downpours at times. but the showers move off quite quickly, and there will be some more sunshine as we head through to the end of the day once more. quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, top temperatures of only 19 or 20 degrees celsius. so, not desperately warm. as we head through this evening and overnight, there'll be plenty of clear skies around. temperatures will tend to stay in double figures for most. tomorrow, perhaps a little bit of an improvement in terms of temperature. there will be some sunny spells, best towards the east. it's rather cloudy further west. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to sally and jon. bye for now.
6:30 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on the programme this morning... from the campsite to the catwalk — we'll meet the fashion designer making clothes from the tents left behind at music festivals. we'll be chatting to the artist eleanor tomlinson, who painted this gorgeous picture of the queen and paddington bear after that jubilee sketch. eleanor has now received a royal stamp of approval from the queen herself. and john's in sw19 all morning, as wimbledon gets underway. he'll be serving up two former british number ones at ten past eight — tim henman and laura robson. today could be the start of a difficult week for the prime minister, as conservative mps gather in westminster for the first time since those two by—election defeats in wakefield, and tiverton and honiton. let's talk to a couple of seasoned westminster watchers about how

wimbledon? john is on centre court for us this morning. it looks gorgeous. you are near centre court. looking fabulous. yes, good morning. i think that word is beautiful. the setting and the sunshine on day one of the championships. it is back as we prepare to go tennis crazy over the next fortnight. some things remain the same. we have seen aimee fuller in the queue this morning. it is back, as are the spectators. this place will be at full capacity in the next fortnight. but half a million fans will be packing in here over the next two weeks. it has been very different over the last couple of years as a result of covid. we are going to see andy murray and emma raducanu in action on the opening day, two of 17 british players to feature in the main draw this year. at some things will look a little different when you consider that we want to see the men's world number one daniil medvedev in action. the russian player excluded from the tournament alongside other
6:38 am
russian players and belarusian players, as a result of the war in ukraine. wimbledon making that move to exclude those players which has seen the tournament stripped of ranking points in response. we will double seen play on the middle sunday for the first time in the tournament's history. that is something new. we still have that wonderful mix of those established players, those recognised faces back once again this year, and some new names as well that perhaps we are not familiar with, names as well that perhaps we are not familiarwith, hoping names as well that perhaps we are not familiar with, hoping to edge themselves into wimbledon history this year. he's done it! the hairstyles have changed, the names definitely haven't. in 20 years, the same four men have won the men's title. so who's going flat out for the trophy this year? what about italy's matteo berrettini? last year's beaten finalist won on the grass at queen's for the second time this summer, and won the hearts of a few more fans too.
6:39 am
lovely to see you back here. thank you so much forjoining us. ijust want to say congrats for your career. i heard it's going to be your last queen's, your last wimbledon. so good luck for the rest of your beautiful life and congrats. i really appreciate that. i'm welling up now! expect tears from serena williams if this proves to be her last wimbledon. at 40, she will leave another memorable mark on sw19 following a year away from the sport. the world will be watching. blazing her own trail, poland's iga swiatek. the two—time grand slam champion is on a 35—match winning streak. expect the buzz around coco gauff to continue if she can replicate her incredible feats here as a 15—year—old, when she knocked out venus williams. and we wait to see if emma raducanu will raise the centre court roof this year. as the champions come and go, one thing remains the same —
6:40 am
wimbledon's centre court, which celebrates its centenary year. one of the great sporting venues. expect tears and cheers. the doors are open, the stage is set. yes, and plenty of those chairs will come on centre court when play gets under way there this morning at around 1:30pm. tradition dictates that the men's defending champion gets us under way and opens the tournament. that means we will see novak djokovic in front of a full house on centre court. he is first up. then we will see those british players. a huge amount of attention and focus on them. emma raducanu is second on centre court. she has not had the best of preparations for wimbledon. she could only manage seven games in nottingham. it meant

she missed out on eastbourne. she has not had a lot of match practice on grass. she is here, she is ready. when she was asked about her injury, she said she was fit and ready to play. we will wait to see if that has any real impact as she heads into her opening match. then of course someone very familiar with the surroundings are at wimbledon. andy murray, who has won this title two times previously. you can imagine what the atmosphere is going to be like for both of them when they step out on court later. he is an action againstjames duckworth. he has had a few injury problems of his own. an abdominal injury he has been dealing with. he has been playing really well. he reached the final of a grass event in stuttgart where he faced matteo berrettini, the beaten finalist here last year. he is holding his own against some of the best players in the world. disappointing for him that he has picked up that injury. but again, he says his progress, his preparations
6:42 am
playing here at wimbledon in recent days, has been good. we wait to see how he will fare when he steps out in court later on. away from wimbledon, england's cricketers are on course to complete a 3—0 series whitewash against new zealand. have a look at some of the shots they have been producing. they'll start the final day at headingley needing 113 more runs with eight wickets in hand. ollie pope and joe root both hit unbeaten half centuries in an attacking, unbroken stand of 132. with shots like that you wonder if he could be entertaining the crowds on centre court, joe root? it feels with the end of glastonbury, the great british summer rolls on here at wimbledon. at the moment the sun is shining. if you are in the queue this morning and you are heading over to the all england club later on, what will you need to hear? are we going to have sun all day? it's gorgeous. blue skies. pleasantly warm already. there's a chance some showers.
6:43 am
probably late morning, early afternoon. but they should fade and it will dry up. we will show you around a little bit. look at the flowers, again in the wimbledon colours. beautifulas flowers, again in the wimbledon colours. beautiful as well. flowers, again in the wimbledon colours. beautifulas well. if flowers, again in the wimbledon colours. beautiful as well. if we swing around just behind me, that is where sue barker will be presenting throughout the wimbledon fortnight. and of course her last year this year, so a lot going on at wimbledon. it is 100 years of centre court as well. asjohn was saying, the sun is shining. there is the chance we could see a shower late morning, early afternoon. that passes and we are looking at a lot of sunshine. temperatures getting up to 20, possibly 21 degrees. lighter winds than yesterday. the forecast for us all today is one of sunshine and showers and lighter winds. we actually do have some of those showers moving from the west to the east currently, courtesy of a weather front.
6:44 am
east currently, courtesy of a weatherfront. the east currently, courtesy of a weather front. the showers are not particularly heavy but they will eventually make it to the east. that is what we could see at wimbledon. then they move away and later in the day another front coming in across the north—west of scotland and northern ireland will introduce a thicker cloud and some rain. in between there will be sunshine. temperatures today ranging from 16 to about 21. maybe 22 degrees somewhere in the south—eastern corner. through this evening and overnight that weather front in the west will slowly push eastwards, but some of the rain and it will be heavy and persistent. the wind is going to pick up in the west, especially with exposure. further east we have clear skies. temperatures will fall away that bit lower. generally we were looking at six to 12 degrees. heading on through tomorrow, the weather front in the west producing the rain which by then will be a part of west wales and also cumbria, slowly pushing eastwards. ahead of it we start off on a dry note, a few showers coming in and the rain will sweep through
6:45 am
eventually. but behind that, brightening up. windy tomorrow, gales in the west. temperatures in the south—east up to 2a, generally 17 to 19 degrees. as we go through the evening and overnight period, and into wednesday, you can see we have got two lines of rain, all of them sweeping eastwards. during wednesday, the first one clears. we still have the second one in western areas. once again there is a chance we could see a spot of rain in the south—east first thing, brightening skies and then we are looking at some showers. temperatures are very similar to what we are going to see tomorrow, through this week. up to the low 20s in the south—east but generally 17 to about 19 degrees. carol, thank you. we will be back at wimbledon throughout the morning here on the programme. but as we look ahead at wimbledon, we are also looking ahead —— backat

6:58 am
motorists caught driving in cycle lanes from today. the government has introduced new powers meaning fines can be issued in the same way as for bus lanes and yellow box junctions. the think tank centre for london thinks it's a good move. i don't think tfl have ever had the powers before to enforce encroachment into cycle lanes. and with more and more people cycling, and with more and more cycle lanes, i think that's also really important, not only from a safety perspective, but again, it'll increase capacity and the speed at which people can cycle around the city, which i think�*s only a good thing. detectives are continuing to appeal for information after a woman was killed in east london yesterday morning. police say the 36—year—old victim was walking alone along cranbrook road in ilford towards gants hill tube station. no arrests have been made and an increased police presence in the area over the next few days. the owners of the 100—year—old art deco m&s store on oxford street say blocking it's demolition will undermine "the appeal of the west end as an
6:59 am
international centre". they've written to the levelling up secretary michael gove who ordered a review into the plan due to concerns over carbon emissions from bulldozing the site. m&s said the revamp was needed due to changing consumer habits. an inquiry will consider the pros and cons of rebuilding the store compared to refitting it. a large sinkhole which appeared on a street in bexley on tuesday night will take up to six weeks to fix. the section of road on st martens avenue collapsed and even swallowed up a motorbike. let's take a look at how tfl services are looking. there are severe delays on the central line, otherwise it's a good service on all other lines. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. there's lots of dry weather in the forecast as we head through the rest of this week across the capital. some sunshine around at times, and temperatures will tend to stay
7:00 am
round about the average, or a little bit below, for this time of year. now, having said that, it's going to stay dry, there will be some showers around today, but plenty of early sunshine. temperatures to start off the morning in double figures. we'll see things cloud over from the west round about lunchtime, and some showery outbreaks of rain move eastwards a little bit before for western home counties. and we could see a few interruptions to play perhaps for the first day at wimbledon. not everywhere will see the showers. there could be a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a few heavy downpours at times. but the showers move off quite quickly, and there will be some more sunshine as we head through to the end of the day once more. quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, top temperatures of only 19 or 20 degrees celsius. so, not desperately warm. as we head through this evening and overnight, there'll be plenty of clear skies around. temperatures will tend to stay in double figures for most. tomorrow, perhaps a little bit of an improvement in terms of temperature. there will be some sunny spells,
7:01 am
best towards the east. it's rather cloudy further west. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. president zelensky will address world leaders at the g7 today, asking them to do more to help ukraine resist the russian invasion. a man is in hospital with life—threatening injuries after a gas explosion destroys a house in birmingham. patients in england who've been waiting more than two years for surgery will be offered treatment at hospitals in other parts of the country. silence in court? another week, another strike, as thousands of barristers walk out in a row over government funding.

good morning from wimbledon. day one of the championships as the great british summer continued with andy murray and emma raducanu in action, i is whether the king? taste murray and emma raducanu in action, i is whether the king?— i is whether the king? we could 'ust catch a shower, �* i is whether the king? we could 'ust catch a shower, late i i is whether the king? we could 'ust catch a shower, late or i i is whether the king? we could 'ust catch a shower, late or early h catch a shower, late or early afternoon, and that means we will see a lot of sun turnaround. for all of us today, we have got a weather front moving east bringing some showers, bright behind it but rain for northern ireland later. one of the detail throughout the show. it's monday 27th june. our main story. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, will today urge leaders from the world's richest countries to do more to help his country fight back against the russian invaders. in a video address to the g7 summit in germany, he's expected to renew his call for more heavy artillery and air defences. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. they said they wanted
7:03 am
to put on a show of unity. well, after dinner and drinks last night, that's exactly what these leaders did. what matters now is what they do with it. these protesters in bavaria are helping to keep the war in ukraine firmly on the g7 agenda. a summit that will be addressed today by president zelensky, who is expected to ask once again for more heavy weapons. president zelensky knows that he is only going to win the war in ukraine if the leaders in there stay united and show resolve for the long term. so what he wants from them is a note of unity, no noises off. one of his biggest supporters is borisjohnson, who is urging his fellow leaders to tip the military balance in kyiv�*s favour. the price of freedom is worth paying. you know, this is something, it's worth us standing up for together. and that's the principle that a free, independent, sovereign country like ukraine should not be violently invaded, and should not have its
7:04 am
boundaries changed by force. but even the prime minister admits the consequences for the rest of the world are tough, with rising costs of energy and food. that's why leaders like president modi of india, here getting mobbed by supporters in germany, have been invited to take part in the summit today, to discuss what could be done to lower prices and find alternatives to russian energy. the leaders are considering plans for a cap on the price of oil, and financial aid to those countries suffering the most. their biggest challenge, how to help ukraine win while helping the world with the consequences. james landale, bbc news, at the g7 summit. let's speak to our berlin correspondentjenny hill. good morning. the war in ukraine is expected to dominate but are some of those european leaders losing their

ukraine needed at the moment. you can expect the leaders to support ukraine economically over the coming months, but beyond that difficult to say. these leaders are grappling with the consequences of this war on the rest of the world. the problems it is causing poor energy supply, forfood it is causing poor energy supply, for food security. they are also extremely concerned about what it is doing for their economies back home, there countries are struggling with a cost of living crisis which is exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in ukraine. i am stood amongst a beautiful bavarian scenery, pine clad mountains all around and i am wondering this morning, these leaders are waking up in a secluded castle looking at a similar view and the juxtaposition with the pictures we keep seeing coming out of ukraine day by day is so stark, you can't help wondering what is going through those leaders' mines that they must be feeling the pressure.

7:08 am
country, a place we have talking about, has finally fall to the russians, the last ukrainian soldiers have moved out. even the capital, in recent weeks they thought that maybe things were turning a corner. this is the capital city of the country at war but some people were carrying on their lives, even though the fire alarms and the air raid sirens were blaring, people were not necessarily going down into bunkers. that changed over the weekend and spare a thought of some of the people who go to bed with their families, they are all there waiting for what comes, and if the last couple of nights have been anything to go by, it is a really worrying time. i hope is this weekend in kyiv itself was a one—off, and in the coming days they will be spared monro —— more missile strikes in russia. will be spared monro -- more missile strikes in russia.— strikes in russia. certainly a contrast with _ strikes in russia. certainly a contrast with the _ strikes in russia. certainly a contrast with the tranquillity strikes in russia. certainly a i contrast with the tranquillity of the mountains. thank you, nick. mps will vote later on controversial new legislation which would give ministers powers to override parts of the post—brexit arrangements
7:09 am
for northern ireland. the government wants to make it easier to move goods between britain and northern ireland but the eu says changing the agreement would break the law. we're joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley. this vote follows those two by—election defeats for the conservatives last week, could this be a tricky few days for the boris johnson? ,., ., ., , , johnson? good morning. firstly we have not johnson? good morning. firstly we have got that _ johnson? good morning. firstly we have got that legislation _ johnson? good morning. firstly we have got that legislation this - have got that legislation this afternoon, the first time mps have got the chance to vote on it. i do think it will pass pretty comfortably. in the commons, because the vast majority of conservative mps are onside. but it is controversial, it is going to see a lot of criticism from opposition parties. it's going to cause a big row with the european union. and it could face quite a lot of trouble in the house of lords as well when it ends up there, potentially in a few weeks or months. it is going to take a while, though, so this isn't going to happen overnight. there will be big row is about what exactly it would do to allow ministers in
7:10 am
london to override parts of the brexit deal. all of this happening of course while a lot of tories are still licking their wounds after those two by—elections in england on thursday, both of which were big losses for the conservatives in places they won in 2019 in general election. there are basically two things that rebels hope boris johnson's critics, that is, hope they can do to try and put more pressure on him. one is that members of the cabinet, the top team around borisjohnson might speak out against him, i think the chances of that at the moment are pretty slim to be honest. after we had that one resignation on friday, there doesn't seem to be anyone else waiting to jump seem to be anyone else waiting to jump just yet. there could also be a change in the rules in the next few weeks to allow another confidence vote in the prime minister at some point. but again, that's likely to take a bit of time. so although we
7:11 am
keep hearing tory mps who are very unhappy with the prime minister and want a change of leader, it does feel to me a bit like this is going to roll and on and on on for a while and then if borisjohnson is going to be removed from his party, is not likely to come until the autumn. thank you very much, nick, live in westminster, saying it's going to go on and on. ., ., . on and on. indeed. some dramatic ictures on and on. indeed. some dramatic pictures that _ on and on. indeed. some dramatic pictures that have _ on and on. indeed. some dramatic pictures that have come _ on and on. indeed. some dramatic pictures that have come in - on and on. indeed. some dramatic i pictures that have come in overnight from birmingham. a man is in hospital with life—threatening injuries after an explosion destroyed a house in birmingham. at least four other people were injured and three more homes were damaged in the blast, which is believed to have been caused by a gas leak. simonjones has the latest. shock and confusion in the aftermath of a huge explosion. a fierce fire takes hold on the residential street. a man was dragged from the burning building by neighbours, and taken to hospital. other people were injured. these pictures released by the west midlands fire service reveal the extent of the destruction.
7:12 am
the whole house ripped down, others badly damaged. i was sat at home, i heard a loud explosion, that was just after 8:30pm. immediately went on to social media because that's where you get a lot of information from, to see if there was anything to say what it was. found out quite quickly that people were reporting on social media that there had been an explosion in the house. at that point i decided that as the councillor, i should come down. not to be nosy, but to see what i could do to help people. a big police cordon was soon established in the area. six fire engines and three ambulances were sent to the scene. search and rescue dogs have been going through the debris to make sure everyone is accounted for. the police have praised residents who helped each other out in the immediate aftermath of the blast. some have had to spend the night away from their homes. it has been too dangerous for them to return. the explosion is now under investigation. the fire service believe it was caused by a gas leak.
7:13 am
police are warning the disruption in the area will continue for some time to come. simon jones, bbc news. the former prime minister sirjohn major will give evidence at a public inquiry today, into what's been described as the biggest medical disaster in the history of the nhs. almost 5,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with hiv or hepatitis c in the 19705 and 805 after being given a new treatment meant to improve their lives. our health correspondent jim reed reports. i suppose the biggest impact is i'm not the person i'm meant to have been. you can't erase the darkness, you can't erase the fear. it's always lurking. mark was just a child when he was warned about a medication he'd been given. his parents were told his new treatment for a blood disorder had been contaminated with hiv. i can't really describe the feeling, because it was, well, first of all, you question,
7:14 am
why are you going to school to take exams for a future and a life you're not going to have? when your doctor says, "if you're lucky, but i don't think you will live long enough to leave school," why bother? why? mark's life was saved by new hiv drugs. others died before they could be made available. in total, 5000 people with haemophilia were left with hiv, hepatitis or both. many more were exposed after a blood transfusion in the 70s and 805. i do solemnly and sincerely... in 2019, mark gave evidence at the public inquiry into the disaster. today, sirjohn major will take the same stand. the first former prime minister to be questioned under oath about the government's response and the approach to compensation. it's vital. he held the highest office in the land and i think it's going to be emotional because everything i do isn'tjust for me.
7:15 am
it's for all those little boys not here. it's for all of my friends that aren't here. it's my friends right now who are so ill, they might not live to see it yet. and all we've ever wanted is the truth and justice. i was falling asleep, i was being sick. melanie was another of the thousands infected when she was just 17. she was diagnosed with hepatitis c, a disease which can slowly destroy the liver, and has suffered from health problems ever since. as soon as i found out what hepatitis c was, and realised that it was impacting on my life and that i was possibly not going to see my children grow up, it has been like living without being alive. it's had a huge impact on every single victim. that feeling of, it could have been avoided. melanie is now on a different, modern treatment to control
7:16 am
her blood disorder. like thousands of others, though, she is still living with the consequences of what happened three decades ago and still looking for answers so many years later. jim reed, bbc news. sirjohn major due to give evidence later today. the sun is shining in a certain corner of south—west london and carol is very happy to be back at wimbledon, bouncing around, smiling and happy! it is lovely to be back and we are right outside centre court, right next to perry, given the weak fist bump and he won than on three consecutive years. —— we are next to fred perry. i gave him a little system. before he played tennis was

7:19 am
nina can tell us more. the rail strikes were really inconvenient for millions of people, inconvenience is one thing that what is more important than swift access to justice? another week, another set of picket lines, this time outside courtrooms in england and wales. thousands of criminal barristers are walking out over funding. this week defence barristers will down tools today and tomorrow, building up to a five—day walk—out from 18th july. and this is about legal aid. that's the money ensuring defendants receive fair representation, even if they can't afford a lawyer. the government's proposed a 15% increase for new cases from september. but barristers say that's too late, and not enough. it's very easy to kind of pluck a figure out of midair, it's gone up by £100 million but actually when you divide that cost over the number of cases that is held each year, it's quite a small, modest increase
7:20 am
and it's still a situation whereby the mostjunior barristers are just not able to earn anywhere close to minimum wage. and a lot of the increase in legal aid is for very serious crimes, it's going to a few crimes, not the routine business of the crown court. so what is the pay of a criminal barrister? under legal aid they earn around £250 for a 13 hour day, so around £20 an hour. but once they factor in travel and preparation time, barristers say the reality is they are earning below minimum wage. the criminal bar association says for the first three years a junior barrister earns a median wage of £12,200. that's less than half the uk average wage, which is just about £30,000. they say the pay and conditions mean thejob is no longer attractive to law graduates, and that the ageing workforce is a time bomb for the justice system.
7:21 am
how will this affect legal proceedings? well, for each day of the strike more than 1000 cases, and dozens of trials will be impacted. and that matters. as things stand there are more than 350,000 outstanding magistrates cases in england and wales, and nearly 60,000 crown cases. the government says the proposed changes would mean a typical criminal barrister will see a £7,000 pay rise and that the strike will harm victims waiting for trial. an important principle of a functioning society isjustice being done, and justice being seen to be done. there is already a big delay in the guilty facing punishment, the innocent clearing their names, and victims of crime being granted their day in court. those on strike say this has to happen to prevent a worrying situation getting even worse. it is very unusual for barristers to
7:22 am
go on strike but they say if something isn't done, the situation will get even worse.— something isn't done, the situation will get even worse. thank you, we will get even worse. thank you, we will seak will get even worse. thank you, we will speak about _ will get even worse. thank you, we will speak about that _ will get even worse. thank you, we will speak about that little - will get even worse. thank you, we will speak about that little bit - will speak about that little bit later on as well. nhs patients in england who have been waiting more than two years for surgery are being offered hospital treatment in alternative parts of the country. the offer is being made to more than 6000 people, who'll be helped with travel and accommodation costs. it's part of a drive to tackle the backlog of operations which built up during the covid pandemic. saffron cordery can tell us more, she's the deputy chief executive of nhs providers. good morning to you. morning. the number of patients waiting for an appointment has dropped since the beginning of the year, how does this compare now, how does the time compared to pre—pandemic levels? taste compared to pre—pandemic levels? , have seen the number of patients waiting for more than two years drop significantly, but we are still at higher levels than pre—pandemic. but
7:23 am
i think what we have to recognise him is that hospital trusts on the front line, and those working in the community, have really gone the extra mile to get these numbers down. it's so critical that we treat those who have been waiting for a long time because it is incredibly distressing to wait so long for an operation. it is really to be celebrated what is happening so far. and is the nhs on track to reduce those waiting times to under two years by the target? i know the target is the end of next month. the nhs is target is the end of next month. tue: nhs is doing incredibly target is the end of next month. tu9 nhs is doing incredibly well and we are seeing those figures coming down significantly week by week. to say, yes, it will definitely happen, but it is testament to the hard work of trust leaders down the country that we are nearing that point. there is an important distinction between those who will have been treated and
7:24 am
those who will have been treated and those who will have been offered the opportunity to be treated because sometimes there are circumstances and situations in which people may be offered the opportunity but they can't take it up for whatever reason. the most important thing is the measures are in place and the processes are there to help people be treated, whether it is in their own area or going to another part of the country which has got the capacity to be able to support them. and how will that work in practical terms, if someone is asked to travel someone else and they want to get the operation done, how will it work? ~ . the operation done, how will it work? ~ , ., ., , work? we will see the arrangements bein: made work? we will see the arrangements being made between _ work? we will see the arrangements being made between different - being made between different hospital trusts in order to make sure that patients who need the treatment will be supported so things like travel and accommodation costs, so it isn't a barrierfor them receiving the treatment. we have seen it happening already and it has been an important contribution to bringing down the
7:25 am
numbers waiting two years. what we have to remember here also is whilst these are very important steps in these are very important steps in the right direction, they are not the right direction, they are not the only measures being taken. we have got things like diagnostic labs in the community making sure that people are receiving treatment as quickly as possible —— diagnostic hubs and weekend surgeries, so a whole host of processes to get those waiting times down. we have to remember that in other parts of the nhs, in mental health, community and ambulance services, we are seeing significant challenges and pressures. so whilst this is a very important step in the right direction, we have got a long way to go across the broad waterfront of nhs services. go across the broad waterfront of nhs services-— go across the broad waterfront of nhs services. �*, ., ,, ., nhs services. let's talk about those ressures. nhs services. let's talk about those pressures- the _ nhs services. let's talk about those pressures. the royal— nhs services. let's talk about those pressures. the royal college - nhs services. let's talk about those pressures. the royal college of- pressures. the royal college of nursing saying they're simply had to be more investment in the workforce, there are not enough nurses being trained and coming through. how do you fix that? is there a situation now where you think that is the most
7:26 am
urgent priority for this government? we have known for a very long time that workforce is a significant challenge, and absolutely agree with the royal college of nurses in this one, we need to see more stuff on the front line. one of the things we have to remember is that the challenges we are facing their post—pandemic where there before the pandemic. the pandemic has simply exacerbated them. we have got a funding challenge which is a decade worth of a funding squeeze, demand was already going up before the pandemic, waiting lists were not as high as they are now but demand was growing up. we had challenges in terms of social care which we have got now and they are increasing significantly. we have also got this workforce shortage which is incredibly serious. we have called on the government to establish a fully funded and costed long—term workforce plan so we can sort this
7:27 am
out once and for all but we know there are big challenges across the nursing workforce, across the clinical doctor workforce and other parts of the nhs staffing structure. saffron cordery, deputy chief executive of nhs providers, thank you. executive of nhs providers, thank ou. . iam executive of nhs providers, thank you- i amjust— executive of nhs providers, thank you.- i am just looking - executive of nhs providers, thank you.- i amjust looking up| executive of nhs providers, thank. you.- i amjust looking up on you. thanks. i am 'ust looking up on the weather— you. thanks. i amjust looking up on the weather forecast _ you. thanks. i amjust looking up on the weather forecast for _ you. thanks. i amjust looking up on the weather forecast for a _ you. thanks. i amjust looking up on the weather forecast for a certain i the weather forecast for a certain corner in south west london, 36% chance of rain.— chance of rain. that's ok. we will take that any _ chance of rain. that's ok. we will take that any day. _ chance of rain. that's ok. we will take that any day. if _ chance of rain. that's ok. we will take that any day. if you - chance of rain. that's ok. we will take that any day. if you have - chance of rain. that's ok. we will. take that any day. if you have been u . take that any day. if you have been u- all take that any day. if you have been up all night — take that any day. if you have been up all night in _ take that any day. if you have been up all night in a _ take that any day. if you have been up all night in a tent _ take that any day. if you have been up all night in a tent queueing - take that any day. if you have been up all night in a tent queueing for l up all night in a tent queueing for a space, would you take it? aimee is the 're a space, would you take it? aimee is they're keeping _ a space, would you take it? aimee is they're keeping her— a space, would you take it? aimee is they're keeping her eye _ a space, would you take it? aimee is they're keeping her eye on _ a space, would you take it? aimee is they're keeping her eye on the - they're keeping her eye on the queues, all of the fans who have been queueing, everybody is feeling rather excited, i suppose? definitely, sally. the excitement is growing because the queue is now moving. hundreds of people have been coming here overnight but in fact

7:30 am
police say the 36—year—old victim was walking alone along cranbrook road in ilford towards gants hill tube station. no arrests have been made and an increased police presence in the area over the next few days. new figures from city hall show more than 400 e—scooters have been seized by the met police since the start of january. the use of the scooters on public roads and cycle lines is illegal. tfl says policing partners are continuing to crack down on repeat offenders. last year it cost the met more than £300,000 to store the scooters before disposing of them. a large sinkhole which appeared on a street in bexley on tuesday night, will take up to six weeks to fix. the section of road on st martens avenue collapsed, and even swallowed up a motorbike. pipes and sewers were damaged, but nobody was hurt when the sinkhole appeared. let's take a look at how tfl services are looking. there are severe delays on the central line
7:31 am
and the elizabeth line has minor delays. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. there's lots of dry weather in the forecast as we head through the rest of this week across the capital. some sunshine around at times, and temperatures will tend to stay round about the average, or a little bit below, for this time of year. now, having said that it's going to stay dry, there will be some showers around today, but plenty of early sunshine. temperatures to start off the morning in double figures. we'll see things cloud over from the west round about lunchtime, and some showery outbreaks of rain move eastwards a little bit before for western home counties. and we could see a few interruptions to play perhaps for the first day at wimbledon. not everywhere will see the showers. there could be a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a few heavy downpours at times. but the showers move off quite quickly, and there will be some more sunshine as we head through to the end of the day once more. quite a brisk south—westerly wind
7:32 am
blowing, top temperatures of only 19 or 20 degrees celsius. so, not desperately warm. as we head through this evening and overnight, there'll be plenty of clear skies around. temperatures will tend to stay in double figures for most. tomorrow, perhaps a little bit of an improvement in terms of temperature. there will be some sunny spells, best towards the east. it's rather cloudy further west. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back to sally and john. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. the leaders of the world's richest countries are meeting in germany for the g7 summit today, with the war in ukraine expected to dominate the agenda. they'll also be discussing its knock—on effects of food shortages and the soaring cost of living. let's speak about this with the environment,

7:49 am
more cloud. the showers will move through. they should clear. behind them we are looking at a return to some sunshine. the cloud will build across north—west scotland and also northern ireland, and later in the day, northern ireland will see some rain. temperatures ranging from about 13 in the north to about 21, 22 as we sweep down towards the south—east. heading on through the evening and overnight period, the rain gathering in northern ireland will spread through the rest of northern ireland into northern and western parts of scotland, some of it will be heavy and persistent. as it will be heavy and persistent. as it moves into cumbria and north and west wales, it will be that bit lighter. to the east, clear skies. temperatures that little bit lower. widely, we are looking at nine to 13 degrees. heading through tomorrow, the band of rain would be very slowly putting eastwards. i have it we will have a bright start, some sunshine. then we start to see a few
7:50 am
showers. temperatures tomorrow in the sunshine in the south—east, about 23, 20 [i the sunshine in the south—east, about 23, 20 11 degrees. widely, 17 to 19 degrees. through the evening and into wednesday, picking up that rain again, you can see as it moves across we have got two areas of rain coming our way. during the course of wednesday some of it will cross into the south—east, so we could see some rain at wimbledon during wednesday but then it will dry up before the next one comes through, but that will be much lighter. the other feature is the wind will strengthen from tonight and tomorrow in the west we could have gales. but as we head into wednesday there will be lighter winds. any showers will be slow—moving. next week though, let's look at something positive, it is looking much more settled than this week. we love the positivity, carol. it looks gorgeous.— we love the positivity, carol. it looks gorgeous. sally are sitting here wishing _ looks gorgeous. sally are sitting here wishing she _ looks gorgeous. sally are sitting here wishing she was _ looks gorgeous. sally are sitting here wishing she was there. - looks gorgeous. sally are sitting here wishing she was there. getj looks gorgeous. sally are sitting - here wishing she was there. get used to it. :,

focusing on ukraine. not least of course because a little later this morning president zelensky will address the leaders via video link. he is expected to plead for more support and in particular more heavy weaponry, including modern air defence systems. what is he likely to get? almost certainly promises of fairly hefty financial support, i think that is in no doubt. lots of political support, the leaders here are very keen to show their unity when it comes to backing ukraine, they want vladimir putin to know he has not split the world's democracies with his war on the country. militarily that's harder to say, it looks as though, a couple reports suggests that president biden might announce a promise of a surface to air system by way of response, not confirmed yet. other european countries may struggle. we know that a lot of countries have been sending weapons albeit very slowly, some of them. a lot of the leaders here have indicated their willingness in recent days or weeks
8:05 am
to send more weapons to ukraine, the reality can be rather complicated. the head of one of your“s largest weapons manufacturers told me that finding the ammunition across europe to supply ukraine as an example is almost impossible at the moment. it is a complex situation. these leaders are under pressure, they have to sort out the consequences of this conflict which is squeezing energy and food prices globally and having an impact on the cost of living crisis. you will have seen the pictures of the leaders laughing and joking what they post for the photographs mocking vladimir putin because he likes to take his top off and pose for official pictures, some leaders suggesting they should remove their shirts for the photographs. there is a serious point behind that suggestion of the unified team. look at the leaders individually, barack macron of france, president biden, boris johnson, all facing pressure at home
8:06 am
—— president macron of france. they know their feeling the pinch voters are feeling the pinch of the cost of living crisis and they need to find solutions and fast. a man is in hospital with life—threatening injuries after an explosion destroyed a house last night in birmingham. another three houses in the kingstanding area were also badly damaged and four other men suffered minor injuries. our midlands correspondent, phil mackie, is at the scene. what have you been able to assess about what's happening there, what caused this? we about what's happening there, what caused this?— about what's happening there, what caused this? ~ .. , ~' :, caused this? we think it is, we know it is a tas caused this? we think it is, we know it is a gas explosion, _ caused this? we think it is, we know it is a gas explosion, you _ caused this? we think it is, we know it is a gas explosion, you can - caused this? we think it is, we know it is a gas explosion, you can see i it is a gas explosion, you can see thatis it is a gas explosion, you can see that is the gas company who have arrived and the guys in the hard hats and the high vis jackets down there are from the gas board as well. you can seejust there are from the gas board as well. you can see just behind that white van which is reverting down there which is behind the fire
8:07 am
investigation van, the house that has been destroyed. there were three and the terrace, either side very badly damaged in the one in the middle is completely rubble. if you see any of the footage from last night, you can see flames and that has completely gone. that is the man who suffered life—threatening injuries has come from, he is in hospital today. and for other people suffered minor injury —— four other people, amazingly given the scale of the damage, so far no fatalities reported. we are expecting an update in the next hour or so. there is fire, gas experts, fire investigators and lots of police officers still at the scene. a lot officers still at the scene. a lot of the people who lived in these houses were evacuated last night particularly those which have been extensively damaged, for their own safety more than anything else. the course of this gas explosion will be the focus of the investigation now. —— the cause of the explosion. there
8:08 am
will be determinations if it was an accident or if there was negligence but that will take some time. they will first make the site safe so they can get the teams and to carry out the investigation, and the weather is not in their favour this morning. weather is not in their favour this mornint. :. .. weather is not in their favour this mornint. . «t i. :, weather is not in their favour this mornint. . «t :, , ., morning. thank you for the update, really shocking _ morning. thank you for the update, really shocking pictures. _ morning. thank you for the update, really shocking pictures. it - morning. thank you for the update, really shocking pictures. it is i really shocking pictures. it is fortunate that there wasn't worse damage and more people affected by that. we will have full coverage throughout the day on bbc news and across the midlands. nhs patients in england who have been waiting more than two years for surgery are being offered hospital treatment in alternative parts of the country. the offer is being made to more than 6000 people, who'll be helped with travel and accommodation costs. it's part of a drive to tackle the backlog of operations which built up during the covid pandemic. the former prime minister sirjohn major will give evidence at a public inquiry today, into what's been described as the biggest medical disaster in the history of the nhs. almost 5,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders
8:09 am
were infected with hiv or hepatitis c in the 19705 and 80s after being given a new treatment meant to improve their lives. our health correspondent jim reed reports. i suppose the biggest impact is i'm not the person i“m meant to have been. you can't erase the darkness, you can't erase the fear. it's always lurking. mark was just a child when he was warned about a medication he'd been given. his parents were told his new treatment for a blood disorder had been contaminated with hiv. i can't really describe the feeling, because it was, well, first of all, you question, why are you going to school to take exams for a future and a life you're not going to have? when your doctor says, "if you're lucky, but i don't think you will live long enough to leave school," why bother? why? mark's life was saved by new hiv drugs.
8:10 am
others died before they could be made available. in total, 5000 people with haemophilia were left with hiv, hepatitis or both. many more were exposed after a blood transfusion in the 705 and 805. i do solemnly and sincerely... in 2019, mark gave evidence at the public inquiry into the disaster. today, sirjohn major will take the same stand. the first former prime minister to be questioned under oath about the government's response and the approach to compensation. it“s vital. he held the highest office in the land and i think it's going to be emotional because everything i do isn'tjust for me. it's for all those little boys not here. it's for all of my friends that aren't here. it's my friends right now who are so ill, they might not live to see it yet. and all we've ever wanted is the truth and justice.
8:11 am
i was falling asleep, i was being sick. melanie was another of the thousands infected when she was just 17. she was diagnosed with hepatitis c, a disease which can slowly destroy the liver, and has suffered from health problems ever since. as soon as i found out what hepatitis c was, and realised that it was impacting on my life and that i was possibly not going to see my children grow up, it has been like living without being alive. it's had a huge impact on every single victim. that feeling of, it could have been avoided. melanie is now on a different, modern treatment to control her blood disorder. like thousands of others, though, she is still living with the consequences of what happened three decades ago and still looking for answers so many years later. jim reed, bbc news. frank williams, who played reverend timothy farthing in the bbc sitcom dad's army,
8:12 am
has died at the age of 90. oh, isay! well, bless you. that's rather taken the wind out of my sails. i came in here to be very cross with you, mr mainwaring. the london—born actor started his career in repertory theatre, where he met the dad's army co—creatorjimmy perry. frank also played a clergyman in otherjimmy perry shows including "you rang m“lord? “' and “'hi—de—hi". he used to so many of the same cast, in so many of those different productions. sad news, ian lavender is now the only surviving member of the main cast of dad's army, saturday. 12 the main cast of dad's army, saturday-— the main cast of dad's army, saturda . ' , , wimbledon gets under way which means it's probably going to rain in sw19. carol's there.
8:13 am
good morning. we could see some rain today but i will get onto that in a minute. first of all let's show you centre court. there is a new pious seat, much more comfortable i am told, and look at how pristine centre court is. —— a new umpire“s seat. the covers have come off the royal box and just below that, that is where tennis players walk onto centre court from side. but that has changed now, they are now going to walk in through the screen doors at the front, a few changes to celebrate the centenary of centre court. blue skies and a spot of rain today. the forecast has it late morning or early afternoon. and then light winds. sunshine and showers for most of us today and light
8:14 am
winds, and weather front is moving from the west towards the east, that is bringing showers, and it will continue to move eastwards. the cloud building ahead of it, showers passing through and as they clear, the sun will come back out. the cloud will build across north—west scotland and northern ireland and you will see some rain later on. temperatures today ranging from 13 in the north to 20 or 21 as we push down towards the south—east. through the evening and overnight, the rain in the north—west turns heavier and more persistent as it moves across northern and western scotland and all of northern ireland. getting into cumbria and north—west wales. ahead of that in the east, clear skies and we will have the lowest temperatures but generally six to 13 degrees as our overnight lows. the route tomorrow, that rain will very slowly edge from the west towards the east, so we will start of sunny and eastern areas, cloud building and eastern areas, cloud building and the most see a few showers.
8:15 am

8:31 am
i don't think tfl have ever had the powers before to enforce encroachment into cycle lanes. and with more and more people cycling, and with more and more cycle lanes, i think that's also really important, not only from a safety perspective, but again, it'll increase capacity and the speed at which people can cycle around the city, which i think�*s only a good thing. detectives are continuing to appeal for information after a woman was killed in east london yesterday morning. police say the 36—year—old victim was walking alone along cranbrook road in ilford towards gants hill tube station. no arrests have been made, and an increased police presence in the area over the next few days. new figures from city hall show more than 400 e—scooters have been seized by the met police since the start of january. the use of the scooters on public roads and cycle lines is illegal. tfl says policing partners are continuing to crackdown on repeat offenders.
8:32 am
last year it cost the met more than £330,000 to store the scooters before disposing of them. a large sinkhole which appeared on a street in bexley on tuesday night, will take up to six weeks to fix. the section of road on st martens avenue collapsed, and even swallowed up a motorbike. pipes and sewers were damaged, but nobody was hurt when the sinkhole appeared. let's take a look at how tfl services are looking. there are severe delays on the central line and the elizabeth line has minor delays. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. there's lots of dry weather in the forecast as we head through the rest of this week across the capital. some sunshine around at times, and temperatures will tend to stay round about the average, or a little bit below, for this time of year. now, having said that it's going to stay dry, there will be some showers around today, but plenty of early sunshine. temperatures to start off the morning in double figures.
8:33 am
we'll see things cloud over from the west round about lunchtime, and some showery outbreaks of rain move eastwards a little bit before for western home counties. and we could see a few interruptions to play perhaps for the first day at wimbledon. not everywhere will see the showers. there could be a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a few heavy downpours at times. but the showers move off quite quickly, and there will be some more sunshine as we head through to the end of the day once more. quite a brisk south—westerly wind blowing, top temperatures of only 19 or 20 degrees celsius. so, not desperately warm. as we head through this evening and overnight, there'll be plenty of clear skies around. temperatures will tend to stay in double figures for most. tomorrow, perhaps a little bit of an improvement in terms of temperature. there will be some sunny spells, best towards the east. it's rather cloudy further west. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back to sally and jon. bye for now.

8:38 am
what a special place. an incredible setting here on centre court, one of the iconic sporting venues. novak djokovic getting is under way at about half past one. talk about the care and attention — look at the gentleman here putting the white lines, the finishing touches. you want to get that right. because if that is not correct, and a ball falls either side of that, that could cost somebody the title. mopping the grass as well. is that just taking a bit of due off, or putting moisture into the service? i don't know. the care and attention being put onto the court this morning is very impressive. as i was saying, novak djokovic getting us under way. saying, novak djokovic getting us underway. many saying, novak djokovic getting us under way. many things are much the same as i have always been. the key was back. we have seen aimee fuller in the queue this morning. that returns after an absence of two years. andy murray and emma run in action later on. some things a little bit different. we have been talking this morning about the
8:39 am
russian and belarusian players excluded from the tournament. wimbledon banning them as a result of the war in ukraine and the impact that has had with ranking points no longer being available to the players who will be competing here this year. and we have got the incredible mix once again of the established faces, the likes of andy murray, rafael nadal, novak djokovic playing in the main's singles, serena williams is back after a year away. she will be playing in the women's singles as well. then those new faces hoping to make their own impact, leave their own mark on this years tournament. you just wonder if there is one or two of those names who might be more recognisable at the end of the tournament were they to win. he's done it! the hairstyles have changed, the names definitely haven't. in 20 years, the same four men have won the men's title. so who's going flat out for the trophy this year? what about italy's matteo berrettini? last year's beaten finalist won on the grass at queen's
8:40 am
for the second time this summer, and won the hearts of a few more fans too. lovely to see you back here. thank you so much forjoining us. ijust want to say congrats for your career. i heard it's going to be your last queen's, your last wimbledon. so good luck for the rest of your beautiful life and congrats. i really appreciate that. i'm welling up now! expect tears from serena williams if this proves to be her last wimbledon. at 40, she will leave another memorable mark on sw19 following a year away from the sport. the world will be watching. blazing her own trail, poland's iga swiatek. the two—time grand slam champion is on a 35—match winning streak. expect the buzz around coco gauff to continue if she can replicate her incredible feats here as a 15—year—old, when she knocked out venus williams. and we wait to see if emma raducanu will raise the centre court roof this year.
8:41 am
as the champions come and go, one thing remains the same — wimbledon's centre court, which celebrates its centenary year. one of the great sporting venues. expect tears and cheers. the doors are open, the stage is set. you think about some of the incredible final is staged here. martina navratilova and chris evatt. the final between roger federer and rafa nadal the final between roger federer and rafa medal in 2008. andy murray winning in 2013. that is the players box. he climbed up there to congratulate, to set about with his family and friends. pat cash climbed up family and friends. pat cash climbed up they are all those years ago
8:42 am
anyone his title. they have put a gate in next to the roof to allow the players to gain slightly more easier access to the players box instead of having to clamber onto the roof. it all gets under way at half past one today. novak djokovic, tradition dictates that the defending champion in the men's singles will open proceedings. he is an excellent first on centre court. then, of course, we see andy murray last up as well when he takes on james duckworth. before that emma raducanu, the tenth seed, against alison van uytvanck. that will be a tough opening match for her when you consider the difficulties, the injuries that she has had it the build—up to the tournament. not the best preparation for her when you consider it was really here that she began to make her name last year when she reached the fourth round of wimbledon before going all the way to that sensational victory at the us open last year. andy murray as well carrying a bit of an injury. an abdominal injury. it has affected
8:43 am
his preparations. he has been training and preparing. he says he has been really pleased with the progress he has made over the past few days. what a spectacle it is going to be and what a reception those two will get when they come out here on centre court later on. as we know, plenty of sport being played at the moment. the great british summer of sport continues. england are doing well in the cricket. they look well placed to complete what could be a clean sweep in their series with new zealand. they are, they will start the final day at headingley needing 113 more runs to win with eight wickets in hand. ollie pope and joe root have been doing the business. what a shot from joe root with an unbeaten stand. with shots like that he could be entertaining the crowds at wimbledon. england going well to completely clean sweep. so, we are all set for the opening day. the big question is, and carol has said it, there is concern we could see some rain despite this beautiful
8:44 am
sunshine? that's right. you wouldn't believe it looking out of the blue skies. i'm going to ask you a quick question. do you know how long it took to build centre court? nine months? 12 months? tram took to build centre court? nine months? 12 months? two years? the rise of the eyebrows _ months? 12 months? two years? the rise of the eyebrows are _ months? 12 months? two years? the rise of the eyebrows are nine - months? 12 months? two years? the rise of the eyebrows are nine months| rise of the eyebrows are nine months would suggest it is nine! it would suggest it is nine! it certainly was. it was open in time for the 1922 championships. a good way fact. good morning. this morning it is lovely. the sun is beating down. but asjohn lovely. the sun is beating down. but as john said, lovely. the sun is beating down. but asjohn said, the forecast does have asjohn said, the forecast does have a shower in it. the forecast for wimbledon is a dry one, but as we get into late morning, early afternoon, we are looking at the risk of those showers. lighter winds than yesterday. highs of up to 19 or 20 degrees. it should be dry for the rest of the afternoon. for all of us today, the forecast is one of sunshine and showers and lighter winds that we had yesterday. we have got a weather front which is moving from the west towards the east, and
8:45 am
thatis from the west towards the east, and that is what is bringing the showers with it. showery outbreaks of rain. after a bright start in eastern areas, with some sunshine, the cloud areas, with some sunshine, the cloud are built. those showers will arrive but travel through quickly. for most it will be a dry afternoon, again with the sun coming back out. however, for north—west scotland and northern ireland we are looking at thickening cloud and eventually some rain. temperatures today ranging from 13 in the north to about 21 in the south. through this evening and overnight at the rain gathering across the north and west will turn heavier and more persistent across scotland aren't all sort northern ireland, eventually some of it getting into cumbria and also north and west wales. ahead of it for central and eastern areas we have clear skies, where the temperature will follow eye to its lowest. we are looking at about five to about 13 degrees as the overnight low. into tomorrow, we start off on a node where we have got to be clear skies and some
8:46 am
