6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. 46 people, believed to be migrants, have been found dead in an abandoned lorry in san antonio, texas. leaders of the g7 condemn the russian missile strike on a shopping centre in the ukrainian city of kremenchuk as a war crime, as at least 18 people die. could posties be the next to walk out over pay? 115,000 royal mail workers will vote today on whether to strike. what do they want? how will it affect you? a winning start, good morning from wimbledon. after victories here on centre court for andy murray and emma raducanu on day one, we have serena williams
6:01 am
and rafa nadal to come. good morning. a chilly start at wimbledon this morning but sonny, a small risk of a shower today, the focus for us all in the north and west is going to be wet and windy, in the south and east, joy and brighter. and have you swapped your smartphone for a dumb one? we'll find out why more of us are tackling our screen addiction by reverting to a basic "brick". it's tuesday the 28th ofjune. our main story. at least 46 people have been found dead in an abandoned lorry on the outskirts of san antonio, texas. a fire official said a further 16 people including four children were taken to hospital suffering heat stroke and exhaustion. san antonio is around 150 miles from the us—mexico border and a major transit route for people traffickers.
6:02 am
azadeh moshiri reports. emergency responders crowd together after dozens of bodies were found in an abandoned lorry. more than a dozen survivors, including children, were rushed to hospital. a worker who works in the buildings up here behind me heard a cry for help, came out to investigate, found a trailer with the door partially open, open them up to take a look and found a number of deceased individuals inside. the lorry was found in san antonio, texas, around 250 kilometres from the us mexico border. the victims are believed to be migrants trying to make their way into the united states.
6:03 am
the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heat exhaustion, no signs of water in the vehicle, it was a refrigerated tractor—trailer but there was no visible working ac unit on that rig. we're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies in there. none of us come to work imagining that. the governor of texas, greg abbott, has blamed us president joe biden for the deaths, arguing they are result of his deadly open border policies. state officials in texas have been dealing with record levels of migrant crossings from mexico, as they have prepared for a surge during a hot summer, with temperatures reaching 39.4 celsius on monday. as a federal investigation is launched, these deaths are a reminder of how perilous thatjourney is. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. president volodymyr zelensky has
6:04 am
described a russian missile strike on a shopping centre in central ukraine as "one of the most brazen terrorist acts in the history of europe". at least 16 people were killed, and more than 50 injured, when the mall was hit yesterday afternoon. rescue crews have spent the night searching for survivors. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, has more. this inferno is not a ukrainian military target. it's a ukrainian shopping centre. no weapons here, just families. these were the bewildering minutes after russia's latest devastating missile attack on the central city of kremenchuk. inside the building, panic. "is anyone alive? " a man calls out. there's a faint answer. "where are you? come here," the man says again. monday afternoon shoppers became paramedics, helping to load the injured into ambulances.
6:05 am
those nearby at the time of impact struggling to make sense of what had happened. i was not far away from the place where it happened, some 500 metres away. and people were running around, and after about 30 minutes, i decided to go and check out the place. the centre was just destroyed. i just am out of words. i did not expect something like this could happen in my town. as they began to clear the wreckage, the number of dead was rising. each piece of debris revealing a clearer picture of the damage done. well, for hours now, they have been bringing out these pieces of mangled metal from the shopping centre, leaving them here, and the work goes on. even though it's now pitch black and that is because there is an urgency. many people were in the shopping centre at the time of the attack
6:06 am
on the fear is that many more people have died. speaking at the shopping centre, ukraine's interior minister told us that this was an act of terrorism, perpetrated by putin and the russian federation. president zelensky claimed up to 1000 people could have been inside at the time, and had these words. translation: only completely messed up terrorists, _ for whom there is no place on earth, could strike such a place. it's not an accidental hit by missiles, it is a deliberate russian strike. this carnage is more than 80 miles away from russian occupied land, so is most likely the work of a guided missile. why here? we don't know. but moscow is showing this city and the watching world its assault on ukraine and its people is not going to stop. nick beake, bbc news, ukraine. 0ur correspondent
6:07 am
joe inwood is in kyiv. this attack really does feel like a message from putin that nobody in ukraine is safe, how other people they're responding to what happened? with shock, with horror. you see the scenes that have come from the hospital where the wounded have been taken, people describe it being like hell on earth. some of the descriptions we have had from the survivors of this attack have talked of an inferno, they have talked to people being unconscious and dragged from the wreckage, splinters flying over, a really disturbing picture emerging as to what it was like. the death toll is already over ten people, president zelensky last night said he thought a thousand people were inside. it has not been possible to verify that but you see the pictures there, it seems unlikely anyone would have survived that inferno. ukrainians have called
6:08 am
for a meeting of the united nations security council which will take place later today, they have described this as a brazen terrorist attack, a continuation of russia's attack, a continuation of russia's attack notjust on this country but on its people. and those people are continuing to suffer as a consequence.— continuing to suffer as a consequence. the leaders of the world's richest nations were meeting at the g7 summit in germany when the attack in ukraine took place. they issued a joint statement describing it as "abominable". 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill is in germany. it will be interesting to see what effect that awful news from ukraine is going to have on the summit itself. . , . ., , is going to have on the summit itself. . , . . , ., itself. yeah, it is certainly going to cast a sombre _ itself. yeah, it is certainly going to cast a sombre shadow- itself. yeah, it is certainly going to cast a sombre shadow over . itself. yeah, it is certainly going i to cast a sombre shadow over the final day of talks here in bavaria. as you say, the leaders believe that strongly worded statement last night saying that vladimir putin and those responsible for the strike will be held to account, it's not clear exactly how that would work out in
6:09 am
reality. but those leaders came here to this beautiful mountain area with the strong sense that they wanted to send a message, not only to ukraine, to the world, but have vladimir putin that they were united in their support for president zelensky and his country, and i think they have succeeded in that. they released very strongly worded statement yesterday were talking about the fact that they will stay with ukraine until the end, they will continue to support it financially, and militarily. we don't really know how that will translate into reality at this stage, we can expect to see at this stage, we can expect to see a lot of money flowing into ukraine from these leaders. in terms of military support, they have pledged to send more weapons and equipment to send more weapons and equipment to train troops, and so on. we don't know what that will mean in practical terms at this stage but of course many of these leaders are going to go on to a nato summit which starts tomorrow in madrid. we might find a little more clarity
6:10 am
coming out of that. i suppose we are left really with a couple of questions, how is this support going to actually look in real terms? but secondly these leaders particularly when it comes to imposing new sanctions on vladimir putin, which they have been discussing here, how is that going to affect the reality on the ground? can they force vladimir putin to come as they have demanded, withdraw troops immediately and unconditionally, and given his intransigence to date, that seems extremely unlikely. ghislaine maxwell will be sentenced in the us today for recruiting and grooming girls for herformer partner, the paedophile jeffrey epstein, to abuse. she could be jailed for up to 55 years after a jury found her guilty of five counts, including sex trafficking, in december. our new york correspondent, nada tawfik, spoke to annie farmer, the only victim to testify against maxwell using her real name.
6:11 am
the sense of knowing you have spoken your truth is a powerful feeling. annie farmer's distressing testimony helped secure ghislaine maxwell's sex trafficking conviction. 0n the stand, she recounted how maxwell molested and groomed herfor abuse byjeffrey epstein when she was 16 years old. when maxwell is sentenced, and he hopes thejudge considers annie hopes the judge considers all of those she harmed. these crimes have not only impacted the individuals that experienced them, but also that there is a systemic impact for those people's partners and families and loved ones. if you think about all the number of people involved, then the harm that she caused is almost immeasurable. jurors found maxwell guilty on five of the six counts against her in late december. annie and three other women detailed how maxwell was epstein's chief enabler, a predator who manipulated the teenagers and then tried to normalise sexual contact under the ruse of massage.
6:12 am
still, in the latest court documents, her lawyers continue to argue that she is being made a scapegoat for epstein. in a bid for a lighter sentence they wrote, "she had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father. it made her vulnerable to epstein." they also raised concerns about her treatment in prison writing, "miss maxwell was the target of a credible death threat from a fellow inmate." annie farmer said she was disappointed but not surprised by maxwell's focus on how her own life had been ruined. ifelt, again, there had been an opportunity for her to take ownership of what she had done, for her, in some ways, to express remorse to the victims of her crimes. and it was all about her. evidence presented here during this high—profile trial gave the public a glimpse into maxwell and epstein's lavish lifestyle and relationship. but many questions remain. how did epstein amass
6:13 am
all of his wealth? why did maxwell help him, and will any accomplices be held accountable? david boies represents dozens of epstein's accusers, including annie. he said many of his clients are concerned that the justice department will consider the epstein case now closed. this could not have gone on at the scope it went on and for the years that it went on without the cooperation, complicity and collaboration of many people, some of the rich and powerful and politically connected. whether those people escape justice or not, i think, is one of the unanswered questions. annie says she and the other women are grateful to have got this far in their quest for accountability. after their long and difficult fight to be heard, ghislaine maxwell's sentencing is a significant step towards justice. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york.
6:14 am
at least three people have died and dozens are being treated for injuries after a passenger train derailed in the us state of missouri. the amtrak train, which was travelling from los angeles to chicago, hit a truck at a rail crossing, which had no barriers or lights. more than 200 people were on board. a man who murdered 22—year—old helen mccourt in 1988, and who always refused to reveal where he hid her body, has died two years after his release from prison. pub landlord ian simms served 31 years for the murder, in st helens, but maintained his innocence. helen's mum marie described simms' death as a "great relief". greg mckenzie reports. it's been 3a years since 22—year—old helen mccourt was killed as she walked home from work in billinge in merseyside. she was murdered by former pub landlord ian simms. he's always refused to say
6:15 am
what he did with her body. the part that upsets me is she can see us, though. i can't have this last goodbye, ijust can't. the only thing i want is to have my child back. whatever tiny bits and pieces there are, it's my daughter's and i want them back. and i can't have them now. the conviction of helen mccourt�*s murder made history. simms was one of the first people in the uk convicted on dna evidence without the discovery of a body. helen's mum marie petitioned for many years for helen's law to deny parole to killers who refused to reveal where their victims' remains are, but delays caused by brexit and the general election meant the law was enacted after simms was released.
6:16 am
he will now take the secret of where helen is to his grave. but marie still hopes that new information could lead her to her daughter. greg mckenzie, bbc news. we'll be speaking to helen's mum marie at 8.30. a 29—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murdering a woman in east london. zara aleena, who was 35, was attacked while she walked through ilford in the early hours of sunday morning. the met police believe she was the victim of what it called an "opportunist stranger attack". she was just a kind soul, the sweetest girl. she could never harm a fly. i mean, always polite, always bubblng. the sweetest girl you could ever meet, really. so much going for her. nicola sturgeon will set out her plans later for how she intends to hold a second referendum on scottish independence. the first minister
6:17 am
will make a statement in the scottish parliament, when she's expected to say a vote will take place in october next year, with or without the formal consent of westminster. the uk government says now is not the time for another referendum. 17 minutes past six, are you ready for hanging basket envy? i don't know if you get that, jon. this time of ear. know if you get that, jon. this time of year- look _ know if you get that, jon. this time of year. look at _ know if you get that, jon. this time of year. look at carol— know if you get that, jon. this time of year. look at carol among - know if you get that, jon. this time of year. look at carol among the i of year. look at carol among the ulorious of year. look at carol among the glorious flowers. _ of year. look at carol among the glorious flowers. they _ of year. look at carol among the glorious flowers. they are - of year. look at carol among the i glorious flowers. they are massive! they are gorgeous! 50,000 plants are supplied to wimbledon for the fortnight, the staples are hydrangeas, petunias and roses, and there are 200 hanging baskets. it might sound like it is raining, you can hear running waterjust outside the members enclosure, but it's not, the members enclosure, but it's not, the plants have just been watered. a chilly start at wimbledon this
6:18 am
morning but blue skies, just a small chance of a shower today mid afternoon, tomorrow a bigger chance of a shower here. and the focus for us all today is one of wet and windy conditions in the north and west, drier and brighter in the south and east, and breezy. already we have had a lot of rain across northern ireland and through parts of scotland, getting in across parts of england and wales, the east is staying largely dry. through the day, we have the rain moving slowly east with one or two showers ahead of it. temperatures up to 23 degrees and the strongest wind across the north and west. through the evening and overnight, that band of rain continues to push steadily towards the east, behind it we will see some showers, some will be heavy and thundery as well potentially, and it will not be cold. it will not be as cold as that in the east tomorrow as it is this morning. we have some
6:19 am
rain left tonight but it will clear away, it could swipe the south—east and east anglia, but for many others tomorrow it will be widespread showers and heavy and thundery, but it is the summer so in between them sunshine. temperatures a little bit more, perhaps up to 2a degrees. tomorrow is not going to be as windy as it is going to be today so some of the showers will be slow—moving. although it remains unsettled for the following couple of days with showers in the full high pressure is trying to build in the next week. hopefully if that remains the case, things should be much more settled. we might see you there! it will be good at wimbledon. you we might see you there! it will be good at wimbledon.— good at wimbledon. you are so desnerate _ good at wimbledon. you are so desnerate to — good at wimbledon. you are so desperate to get _ good at wimbledon. you are so desperate to get there. - good at wimbledon. you are so desperate to get there. it - good at wimbledon. you are so desperate to get there. it was i desperate to get there. it was excitin: desperate to get there. it was exciting yesterday, _ desperate to get there. it was exciting yesterday, we - desperate to get there. it was exciting yesterday, we have i desperate to get there. it was i exciting yesterday, we have got desperate to get there. it was - exciting yesterday, we have got all of the sports news withjohn and we have aimee as well.
6:20 am
another day, another group of workers are considering strike action. today it's the posties. nina, tell us more. maybe not quite the sum discontent but it is getting there. welcome to our virtual sorting office. there's a big bag of fan mail for carol in the corner, but the rest is just your general letters and parcels waiting to be sent to us mere mortals. the pandemic transformed our use of delivery services, and demand remains high. the union representing 115,000 postal workers say they worked hard on the front line throughout the lockdowns, while many of us were still social distancing. they're now voting on whether to strike because they say they deserve a pay rise above the 2% being offered by royal mail. and royal mail tell us they've acutally offered a minimum of 2%. they say another 1.5% is available if they agree
6:21 am
to new working conditions including sunday deliveries. and more on top of that based on targets. that's still not enough to convince kevin, he's a postie from essex. i've been working for royal mail for 3h years and i have done, well, actually not much i haven't done in royal mail, from driving the lorry to delivering cash to post offices. delivering parcels, packets, and walking the streets with a bag on my back. so, yeah, it's been a very fulfilling career. unfortunately, the terms and conditions, it's almost like a race to the bottom. it's taking us backwards rather than forwards. and unfortunately like most big corporations now, when they took that modernisation, what inevitably that means, it means the people at the top are earning more money whilst the people at the bottom actually have to work harder to the same amount of money.
6:22 am
it's scary for some people, very, very scary. i'm fortunate, i only live on my own. that's the message we're hearing across lots of sectors. people in work, struggling to make ends meet, feeling like they need a pay rise. what happens next? the result of the vote will be announced on the 19th ofjuly. if a stirke goes ahead, it's likely to be around or after the 2nd of august. and what can we expect the impact of the strikes to be? it's a real worry for small businesses reliant on deliveries. chinelo runs a brownie subscription service, and uses royal mail each week. sometimes we can do anywhere between 20 to 80, sometimes 100, with royal mail in a week. from a business perspective, so for us, our postal date is thursday, and the idea is that people receive their brownies, cookies, on friday or saturday for them to be enjoying over the weekend. so if that is suddenly not possible, that puts me as a business owner in a really awkward position.
6:23 am
now, we are also sending out baked goods, so having them sitting somewhere until the next working day can sometimes be really problematic. typically, when it comes to delays, we just send it out again so then that results in a loss for us as we obviously have to spend time, the ingredients and then we pay for another delivery. and as we keep saying — this isn'tjust one sector. 114 large post offices will close on one day next month. it's their third day of strike action this year. we're waiting to hear about future rail strikes, and dates for a bt engineer walk—out, and action from british airways staff at heathrow. barristers enter their second strike day today, and bin and bus worker disputes continue in some parts of the country. and what about nurses and teachers? there could be strike action for them later this year too. and we're starting
6:24 am
to see that pay gulf between parts of the private and public sector grow. over the weekend accountancy giant pwc confirmed thousands most of its staff will get a 7% pay rise, and some will get 9%. that's the thing, that will put pressure on other sectors to raise their pay in order to meet the private sector, particularly in finance with the bonuses on offer. but the other fear is that people will look at low pay and say that they don't want to join the sector, on these industries on which we are reliant. fix, on these industries on which we are reliant. �* �* ., , , ., reliant. a brownie subscription service! you — reliant. a brownie subscription service! you lost _ reliant. a brownie subscription service! you lost at _ reliant. a brownie subscription service! you lost at at - reliant. a brownie subscription service! you lost at at that! . reliant. a brownie subscription i service! you lost at at that! glad ou are service! you lost at at that! glad you are listening _ service! you lost at at that! glad you are listening to _ service! you lost at at that! glad you are listening to the - service! you lost at at that! glad you are listening to the details l service! you lost at at that! glad l you are listening to the details on the numbers! we you are listening to the details on the numbers!— the numbers! we all perked up at that point. _ the numbers! we all perked up at that point, where _ the numbers! we all perked up at that point, where do _ the numbers! we all perked up at that point, where do we - the numbers! we all perked up at that point, where do we sign? - the numbers! we all perked up at. that point, where do we sign? who knew? strawberries? _ that point, where do we sign? who knew? strawberries? if— that point, where do we sign? who knew? strawberries? if they - that point, where do we sign? who knew? strawberries? if they are i that point, where do we sign? who i knew? strawberries? if they are with chocolate which _ knew? strawberries? if they are with

6:26 am
ball boys and ball girls. not to be underestimated, i got to make it on and give it a little go. —— i got my kit on. honourable, disciplined and vigorous. discipline, privilege, proud. how are we looking? i think it's time to give it a go. how's that for a roll? a bit slow. yeah? i'll take that, i'll take that. i was unaware of how physically challenging not only some of the positions are, but also the extent of the period of time that you stand on court. it's physically demanding, right? it is. standing still, i think people take that for granted. the standing still is really tough. because, at their age, they don't spend much time doing that. so how long can one expect to standstill for?
6:27 am
a couple of years ago, i saw a team standing still about ten minutes before the next match arrived. no one moved. no movement at all? you can move your eyes. i don't think i could do that. so you basically are always ready? you've got as many balls as you want coming at you. 0h, she's out, she's out. no more balls left. i feel like usain bolt right now. sprint off the blocks. 0h, islipped. how do you reckon i did? need a bit of improving. i need a bit of improving. what are you saying? yeah, just a little bit of improvement. how can i improve? the rolling, a bit bouncy. not very parallel. wasn't very fast. feeding. definitely room for improvement. how long do you reckon it would take for need to be up to scratch? i'd say roughly six months.

6:30 am
travel and weather where you are. good morning, this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. another strike is taking place today and tomorrow — this time on the croydon tramlink. members of the drivers' union aslef are taking action following three days of strikes last week on the railways and a walk—out on the underground. aslef says tram drivers have been offered a 3% pay rise which it says in real terms is a pay cut. as london celebrates 50 years of pride this year, the bishopsgate institute is calling on the public to send in stories and pride memorabilia for their people's pride archive. it says it wants to record the excitement, the adventure and the highs and lows alongside the bravery of those who spoke out through the years. we're running a people's pride archive project, at the moment, encouraging people to donate photographs and tell us a story about a pride that has been special to them
6:31 am
through the photography, as well. it doesn'tjust necessarily have to be pride. it can be black pride or trans pride. or even if it isjust a party they had in their back garden. there are over 1a million disabled people in the uk, 80% of those have an invisible condition or impairment. and this week on bbc london we will be looking at how having an invisible disability affects people emily hale has a spinal condition causing a sideways curvature. she's trying to help others manage their condition. it is so important that we talk about invisible disabilities. people are understanding now that we have things going on beneath the surface that you perhaps cannot see. so opening up that conversation and creating awareness awareness is the only way, really, that we can gain that understanding from others. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. a part suspension on the piccadilly and district lines. now the weather.
6:32 am
hello, good morning. it is going to be mostly settled as we head through today. we had showers yesterday but we saw the return of some blue sky and sunshine. i think tuesday is going to be similar to this. i think as we make our way through the rest of the week, we will probably have more sunny spells but we do have the risk of showers. we might have a few showers about through the course of this morning. few and far between. most areas staying largely dry. there will be patches of cloud about, but, by the afternoon, it is going to be largely bright. so lots of sunshine on centre court at wimbledon. temperatures today are up at 22 celsius, so feeling warmer. the breeze picking up a little bit as we make our way through the second half of tuesday. as we make our way through this evening, it is going to stay largely dry and bright. cloud just beginning to build up as we make our way through the course of tonight, thickening through to the early hours. we have this band of rain moving in by the early hours, too. so it could be a damp start as we make our way into wednesday.
6:33 am
mild with temperatures dropping down to 11 celsius. it should be mostly dry as we make our way through tomorrow. the greatest risk of seeing showers this week is probably going to be on thursday. 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. hello this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. let's return now to our top story — which is that 46 people — thought to be migrants — have been found dead in a lorry on the outskirts of san antonio, texas. a further 16 people — including four children — were taken to hospital suffering heat stroke and exhaustion. matt houston is a tvjournalist. he joins us from the scene. clearly a n clearly an horrific story people are waking up to in the united kingdom. can you tell us the latest

6:35 am

6:36 am
smuggling in american history, so some significance. it would more than double the previous. what do you know on the police investigation? not a lot. because the federal government has taken over! the federal government has taken over i would not anticipate we will get a lot of details. three people are in police custody. we believe san antonio police took them into custody shortly after the event. they were not with the truck. it sounds to me like they got out of the truck and ran off and officers discovered them and arrested them later. but we do not know their involvement or whether they will be charged. wejust involvement or whether they will be charged. we just know they have been arrested and police are questioning them to try to learn more about what happened. federal officials will makejudgments about happened. federal officials will make judgments about charges here in the coming days and weeks. thank make judgments about charges here in the coming days and weeks.— the coming days and weeks. thank you ve much. the coming days and weeks. thank you very much- and — the coming days and weeks. thank you very much. and the _ the coming days and weeks. thank you very much. and the top _ the coming days and weeks. thank you very much. and the top story - the coming days and weeks. thank you very much. and the top story that - the coming days and weeks. thank you very much. and the top story that we i very much. and the top story that we are bringing, a lorry containing
6:37 am
migrants who have been found dead in the abandon lorry in the outskirts of san antonio in texas. on the morning of some really tough news stories, there is something we can celebrate today. it's about the radio 1 dj adele roberts, who has been undergoing treatement for bowel cancer since last year. adele has just had the results of a checkup, which revealed that the surgery and chemo did the trick. she is now cancerfree. graham satchell has been taking a look back at what adele has been through over the past few months — and the message she's now determined to spread. we're here at the hospital where i've been receiving my treatment to see my brilliant stoma nurse elaine. audrey's second mum. let's go.
6:38 am
radio1 dj adele roberts was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just a2. we filmed with her last month. do you know, i never nearly came in, i never nearly rang the gp because i was worried, because of covid, i thought i would be a burden to the nhs. bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the uk. alternating between diarrhoea and constipation, having lots of mucus. bleeding. and if it lasts more than three weeks, you should absolutely get it checked out, because if we catch it early, it's treatable. see, elaine's right. early diagnosis saves lives. go and get checked, don't be shy. adele had an operation to remove a tumour injanuary and has been having chemotherapy. when we filmed with her, she was looking forward to a vital checkup. in six weeks, i am going to have a scan and, fingers crossed, it's going to say i'm cancer—free.
6:39 am
and i think that will be the greatest day of my life. adele had the scan yesterday and was given the all clear. 0n social media, she said... welcome to my bathroom. as part of her treatment, adele now has a stoma which she calls audrey. this essentially is my small intestine. the reason the doctors gave me this is because my large colon is healing at the moment because i've had a tumour removed. it is an opening in her skin that allows her to go to the loo while the rest of her body is recovering from surgery. so in a weird way, i've not been to the toilet since october last year. right, ready? yeah. adele has been helped every step of the way by her partner kate.
6:40 am
sharing her story, being so open and honest, has been an inspiration to other people living with cancer. at the weekend, adele was named role model of the year at the annual british lgbt awards, a recognition, they said, of her determination to open the conversation about bowel cancer, to publicise the symptoms, to make sure no one dies in embarrassment. being given the all—clear is the news adele and all her followers had been desperately hoping for. graham satchell, bbc news. thatjump in the air is so good to see. just after eight this morning we'll bejoined by adele's consultant, dr khurum khan. he will explain about her situation and what we can learn from what she has been through. early diagnosis is key. we have already been to wimbledon this morning. we had the flowers. we know
6:41 am
about the weather and we have been at the queue. but what is going on with the tennis? john has the sport for us. he's on centre court at wimbledon. you are not actually on centre court at all. and not as colourful as aimee fuller this morning. shall ijump on that later? we will be on centre later that if you think about it that is where the spotlight is that you forget how many outside courts there are. 18 championship courts with centre and centre —— and number one. we will speak to the chief grounds man later about the care and effort that goes into getting ready for the opening day. and what an opening day. emma raducanu and andy murray in action. a huge win for emma
6:42 am
raducanu when you consider the physical problems she has had coming in, not least the expectation on her shoulders. it was a year ago she played herfirst shoulders. it was a year ago she played her first wta shoulders. it was a year ago she played herfirst wta match. she sat her a—levels. played herfirst wta match. she sat hera—levels. she played herfirst wta match. she sat her a—levels. she reached the fourth round at wimbledon and we know what happened at the us open. what would she produce yesterday? it was an impressive performance with a straight sets win. she did beat alison van uytvanck. she did beat alison van uytvanck. she looked good. physical shape was good and she moved well on court for the straight sets victory that puts into the second round. she played on centre for the first time yesterday. i'm 19 and ijust took a gap year and it went very well. i'm waiting for freshers' week in september! i mean, i'm still very new to it.
6:43 am
i think that had last year not have happened, a 19—year—old walking onto centre court is just incredible occasion and i really took that in today. i played like a 19—year—old who is playing on centre court. yeah, it made the year that's gone by all worth itjust to get a win on centre. andy murray eating james duckworth yesterday said he did not know how many more chances he would get to play on centre. he came through in four sets. play on centre. he came through in foursets. he play on centre. he came through in four sets. he had issues. an abdominal problem limited preparation time. and he surprised us with an underarm serve. channelling his inner nick kyrgios as he came through. cameron norrie, the british number one, willjoin him there. safely through. heather watson returning to finish her match today. andy murray said he is making the most of every minute at the age
6:44 am
of 35. how many more chances will he get to play on centre? i'm getting on a bit now, so i don't know how many more opportunities i get to play on this court so i want to make the most of every time i get to come out here now. there's always nerves and pressure and butterflies and stress and all of those things before the first match. so, yeah, great to get out here and get a win under my belt. yeah, hopefully play betterfrom here on. novak djokovic made it through. he beat world kwon soon—woo. as things stand he would not be allowed to compete at the us open due to his vaccination status. yesterday we saw it all at wimbledon. jodi burridge did not win
6:45 am
her first—round wimbledon. jodi burridge did not win herfirst—round match but she wimbledon. jodi burridge did not win her first—round match but she came to the rescue of a stricken ball boy who was taken ill. she handed him some sweets as she helped him off court. he did recover. she said afterwards she reacted as anybody would. england had a clean sweep in the cricket. jonny bairstow hitting the winning runs. a six into the stands. having been unable to buy a win in test cricket, england are becoming expert run chases under their new coach. we expect eoin morgan to announce his international retirement today. he led england to the 50 over world cup in 2019. he has struggled forform the 50 over world cup in 2019. he has struggled for form and fitness in the past 18 months. tammy
6:46 am
beaumont will be hoping to add some runs to this stunning catch. the visitors bowled out for 284 in des one in somerset. all eyes will be on centre later. iga swiatek is on this brilliant winning run. she opens on centre and then we see rafa nadal against cerudolo. imagine the reception he will get. such a huge favourite. as is serena williams when she takes on harmony town of france. we will see the british players jay clarke and heather watson because their matches were held over last night because of the rain causing problems. good morning. you called it right. you said it would rain. what awaits us today? today, only the small chance of a shower this afternoon. while you
6:47 am
were talking i was admiring the view. the grass is cut to precisely eight millimetres and daily 42,000 spectators arrive here and fill the place out. it looks lovely during the course of the day with everybody ensconced. the forecast for wimbledon is mostly dry, the small risk of a shower in the afternoon. we are looking at breezy conditions, more breezy than yesterday, and a little bit warmer than yesterday. temperatures could get up to 23 celsius. the forecast is different for us all. in the north and west it is wet and windy which will continue. in the east, looking at drier conditions but blustery. the weather front coming in drier conditions but blustery. the weatherfront coming in moving east is bringing rain. some of it is heavy. it has been through the course of the night. as we go through the day the cloud will build ahead of it. it will cloud over in
6:48 am
the midlands for example. it is windy with the strongest wind through the irish sea and areas adjacent. temperatures ranging from 14 in the north to 23 further south. through this evening and overnight, the rain continues steadily eastwards, getting into the london area by the end of the night and behind it some showers. with all this going on it is not going to be a cold night. not as cold start tomorrow as this morning. tomorrow eventually the rain clears from the east and then we will have widespread showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. in between, some sunshine. temperatures up between, some sunshine. temperatures up on today. you could see 24 degrees. not as windy as today so some of the showers will be slow—moving. 0vernight and into the following day, we are looking at the
6:49 am
risk of rain coming back up on thursday across the south—east and heading north across scotland and it will clear smartly. and then day of sunshine and showers. not everyone will catch a shower but we might catch one at wimbledon on thursday. these are the temperatures. the outlook continues with showers. high pressure looks like it will build as we head towards the end of the week and into next week. if that does happen, hopefully things will settle down. can i ask a personal question? yes. how much time do you think you spend on your phone each day? my spend on your phone each day? my goodness. most of the day, i am ashamed to say. i think we all have to examine our lives as we answer that question. how much time have you spent staring at your phone today? and how many hours will you have racked up by the time
6:50 am
you go sleep tonight? the answer is too much, which is causing more of us to swap our smart phones for "dumb" ones, which have fewer distractions. i love that. even the man who helped to invent the very first mobile phone believes his creation has got out of control. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been talking to him. this is what the very first mobile phone looked like. as you can see, its huge. this is martin cooper, the man who helped to invent the very first mobile phone, the man who made the very first mobile phone call. after 20, 25 minutes, the battery would die. of course, that wasn't a problem because the phone was so heavy, you couldn't hold it up for 20 or 25 minutes. do you know how many people have a mobile phone right now on earth? and, way back when, could you ever imagine it would be that prolific? of course, we knew even back
6:51 am
in the 19705, 1960s, that everybody would ultimately have a mobile phone. in fact, the story that we'd hold was some day, when you were born, you would be assigned a phone number and if you didn't answer the phone, you had died. good afternoon. what we did not anticipate is that you are going to have access to the internet, a digital camera, this powerful computer in your phone, because none of those things existed. today, more than 6.5 billion people own a mobile. almost 84% of the world's population. but let's stop and ask how they we all doing with that. how long do you think you spend on your phone every day? when i'm not at work, maybe five or six hours. most of the day, to be honest.
6:52 am
so you go, screen time... i'm going to get caught now. daily average five hours, 29 minutes. six hours 25 minutes. i feel like that is probably average. what are you looking at all day? cats and food. it's mainly youtube. cat videos, food videos. what's it called? asmr. what's asmr? it's people eating and making sounds. what? some people have had enough. my name is dulcie cowling and i gave up my smartphone because it was too addictive. i would pick up my phone to do something simple like check the weather and, the next thing i knew, i would be putting clothes into a shopping basket or reading about something terrible going on in the world. this is what dulcie did. remember these? she ditched her smartphone and switched to an old—style dumb phone. all the telephone capability without any of the apps.
6:53 am
would you recommend it? i would recommend it. i think there are nicer things to spend your time on. more and more people are making this choice. but with the old dumb phone 3g network being switched off in 2033, tech entrepreneurs are updating martin cooper's original idea. hello, my name is kai. i co—founded life in brooklyn. we created a simple style smartphone that strips away all the noise and distractions so you can have just the essential tool without being distracted constantly by your smartphone and social media. so there are phone calls, text, maps and music, but none of the distracting apps? what we are creating is similar to a hammer or screwdriver, right? you use it and then you put it back. they disappear. it is not like you use your hammer and swipe your hammer for two
6:54 am
hours for entertainment. it isjust weird. why can't you have a simple tool that does what i want it to do without trying to make money off my data and my time and attention? of course, when you go through the beginning stages stages of new technology, there are always things that are unanticipated. suddenly, social media has just gotten impossible. taking over some people's lives. they permit the dissemination of false information. so there are lots of disadvantages. but what is the solution to that? the solution is education. make sure the mobile phone does all these functional things that makes people's lives better, makes them smarter, makes them more
6:55 am
in the future where your cell phone will be with you all the time. if you can do a physical examination every minute or two, then you can really anticipate diseases before they happen. so those are really good things and they are so much more important than some of these disadvantages that happen. we are going to figure it out but it's going to take at least another generation. six hours. can you get your calculator out? i don't want to know. the mobile has evolved. it eats our time... that's awful. 91 days. a year. ..and our attention. that's three months. but the man who was there from the very beginning thinks it could be the very thing that saves us all. i would guess that i use my mobile phone less than 5% of my time. so what would you say to anybody like myself who are upwards of five hours?
6:56 am
do you really? you really spend five hours a day? i'd say, jayne, get a life. go on. how long is yours? you tell me first. i am not going to say. i would have no authority with my children if i say how long i am on my phone. i will show you, only you. do not say it out loud. do not say it out loud. do you want to see mine? yes. zero. yes, because i'm not recording it. i did not know you could. that is totally cheating. i would love to see this time tomorrow. let us know via your phone this morning how long you use yours. whether you have change your habits. get in touch on e—mail. and you can tweet about anything we are talking about on the programme. a lot of pressure we are under on
6:57 am
our phones. time for the news travel where you are. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. another strike is taking place today and tomorrow, this time on the croydon tramlink. members of the drivers' union aslef are taking action following three days of strikes last week on the railways and a walk—out on the underground. aslef says tram drivers have been offered a 3% pay rise which it says in real terms is a pay cut. 80% of people in the uk have an invisible condition or impairment. and this week on bbc london we will be looking at how having these invisible disabilities can affect people. emily hale has a spinal condition causing a sideways curvature. she's trying to help others manage their condition. it is so important that we talk about invisible disabilities. people are understanding now that we have things
6:58 am
going on beneath the surface that you perhaps cannot see. so opening up that conversation and creating awareness awareness is the only way, really, that we can gain that understanding from others. as london celebrates 50 years of pride this year, the bishopsgate institute is calling on the public to send in stories and pride memorabilia for their people's pride archive. it says it wants to record the excitement, the adventure and the highs and lows alongside the bravery of those who spoke out through the years. we're running a people's pride archive project, at the moment, encouraging people to donate photographs and tell us a story about a pride that has been special to them through the photography, as well. it doesn'tjust necessarily have to be pride. it can be black pride or trans pride. or even if it isjust a party they had in their back garden. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's minor delays on hammersmith and city line
6:59 am
and as mentioned reduced services on the tram this morning. 0nto the weather now with rich davis. hello, good morning. it is going to be mostly settled as we head through today. we had showers yesterday but we saw the return of some blue sky and sunshine. i think tuesday is going to be similar to this. i think as we make our way through the rest of the week, we will probably have more sunny spells but we do have the risk of showers. we might have a few showers about through the course of this morning. few and far between. most areas staying largely dry. there will be patches of cloud about, but, by the afternoon, it is going to be largely bright. so lots of sunshine on centre court at wimbledon. temperatures today are up at 22 celsius, so feeling warmer. the breeze picking up a little bit as we make our way through the second half of tuesday. as we make our way through this evening, it is going to stay largely dry and bright. cloud just beginning to build up as we make our way through the course of tonight, thickening through to the early hours. we have this band of rain moving
7:00 am
in by the early hours, too. so it could be a damp start as we make our way into wednesday. mild with temperatures dropping down to 11 celsius. it should be mostly dry as we make our way through tomorrow. the greatest risk of seeing showers this week is probably going to be on thursday. thats it from me, i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website and don't forget to follow us on our social media channels. now though it's back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. 46 people, believed to be migrants, have been found dead in an abandoned lorry in san antonio, texas. leaders of the g7 condemn russia's missile strike on a shopping centre in the ukrainian city of kremenchuk as a war crime, as at least 18 people die. ghislaine maxwell faces up to 55 years in jail as she's sentenced for grooming under—age girls

from the us—mexico border and a major transit route for people traffickers. azadeh moshiri reports. emergency responders crowd together after dozens of bodies were found in an abandoned lorry. more than a dozen survivors, including children, were rushed to hospital. a worker who works in the buildings up here behind me heard a cry for help, came out to investigate, found a trailer with the doors partially open, opened them up to take a look and found a number of deceased individuals inside. the lorry was found in san antonio, texas, around 250 kilometres from the us mexico border. the victims are believed to be
7:03 am
migrants trying to make their way into the united states. the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, no signs of water in the vehicle, it was a refrigerated tractor—trailer but there was no visible working ac unit on that rig. we're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies in there. none of us come to work imagining that. the governor of texas, greg abbott, has blamed us president joe biden for the deaths, arguing they are a result of his deadly open border policies. state officials in texas have been dealing with record levels of migrant crossings from mexico, as they have prepared for a surge during a hot summer, with temperatures reaching 39.4 celsius on monday. as a federal investigation is launched, these deaths are a reminder of how perilous thatjourney is.
7:04 am
azadeh moshiri, bbc news. president volodymyr zelensky has described a russian missile strike on a shopping centre in central ukraine as "one of the most brazen terrorist acts in the history of europe". at least 18 people were killed, and more than 50 injured, when the mall was hit yesterday afternoon. rescue crews have spent the night searching for survivors. 0ur europe correspondent, nick beake, has more. this inferno is not a ukrainian military target. it's a ukrainian shopping centre. no weapons here, just families. these were the bewildering minutes after russia's latest devastating missile attack on the central city of kremenchuk. inside the building, panic. "is anyone alive? " a man calls out. there's a faint answer. "where are you? come here," the man says again. monday afternoon shoppers became paramedics, helping to load
7:05 am
the injured into ambulances. those nearby at the time of impact struggling to make sense of what had happened. i was not far away from the place where it happened, some 500 metres away. and people were running around, and after about 30 minutes, i decided to go and check out the place. the centre was just destroyed. i just am out of words. i did not expect something like this could happen in my town. as they began to clear the wreckage, the number of dead was rising. each piece of debris revealing a clearer picture of the damage done. well, for hours now, they have been bringing out these pieces of mangled metal from the shopping centre, leaving them here, and the work goes on.
7:06 am
even though it's now pitch black and that is because there is an urgency. many people were in the shopping centre at the time of the attack and the fear is that many more people have died. speaking at the shopping centre, ukraine's interior minister told us that this was an act of terrorism, perpetrated by putin and the russian federation. president zelensky claimed up to 1000 people could have been inside at the time, and had these words. translation: only completely messed up terrorists, _ for whom there is no place on earth, could strike such a place. it's not an accidental hit by missiles, it is a deliberate russian strike. this carnage is more than 80 miles away from russian occupied land, so it was most likely the work of a guided missile. why here? we don't know. but moscow is showing this city and the watching world its assault on ukraine and its people is not going to stop.
7:07 am
nick beake, bbc news, ukraine. 0ur correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. terrible joe inwood is in kyiv. scenes there. this attack seems terrible scenes there. this attack seems to have taken everybody by surprise, by total shock, what has been the response on the street? basically that, disbelief that a shopping centre, somewhere that on a monday afternoon people were going about their own business, could be subjected to such an attack. and you see the interviews with people who survived it, they are clearly bewildered as to what happened. they are lying there, covered in bandages and blood, really traumatised and they talk of terrible experiences, huge flash, of being thrown across the room, of not knowing where they are being pulled to safety by strangers. you saw there in the
7:08 am
report to the aftermath of this attack, the twisted, mangled wreck of metal, a huge inferno that happened as a consequence of this. they have been looking for survivors but it seems almost impossible that anyone would have made it out alive after the initial fire started. anyone would have made it out alive after the initialfire started. as you had, president zelensky has said this is a terrorist attack, a brazen terrorist attack designed to intimidate the watching world. in that world is responding, the g7 leaders of powerful nations have said this is a war crime, there has been widespread condemnation of this and we are expecting a meeting of the un security council later today but of course russia has a seat on that and can veto anything. so it may be that we get strong words but no action is as a consequence of something which has caused many ukrainian lives.— the leaders of the world's richest nations were meeting at the g7 summit in germany when the attack in ukraine took place. they issued a joint statement describing it as "abominable".
7:09 am
0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill is in germany. jenny, what effect did that awful news from ukraine have on the summit? it news from ukraine have on the summit? . ., , , news from ukraine have on the summit? . . , , ., summit? it certainly is casting a very sombre _ summit? it certainly is casting a very sombre shadow _ summit? it certainly is casting a very sombre shadow over - summit? it certainly is casting a very sombre shadow over this i summit? it certainly is casting a i very sombre shadow over this last day of talks. as you say, the leaders have condemned the strikes, saying that vladimir putin will be held accountable for such indiscriminate attacks on civilians although at this stage it's hard to see how that can be achieved. the leaders have also made a pledge, they will not rest until russia ends its cruel and senseless war on ukraine. their strategy can be divided roughly into two, first of all they will intensify support to the ukraine, financial aid, 28 billion euros pledge, also military aid, we don't have details but they say they will send more weapons and equipment, more training of troops. secondly they want to intensify pressure on vladimir putin. i think
7:10 am
it is generally acknowledged that sanctions thus far have not entirely cut off his vital sources of revenue with which he is funding the war, so they are going to intensify sanctions on him, his country, on his institutions. call —— talking of pressure, when talks end here, a lot of these leaders will be going to the nato summit in madrid, the nato chief yesterday saying that the alliance was going to strengthen its capabilities. the big question is whether all of this pressure, this renewed pledge of support for ukraine, will force vladimir putin into a position where he contemplates withdrawing troops from ukraine as leaders here have demanded he do immediately and unconditionally. given the russian legion's intransigence to date, is difficult to see how that might be achieved. —— the russian leader's intransigence. nicola sturgeon will explain today how she plans to hold a second referendum on scottish independence. the first minister will make
7:11 am
a statement in the scottish parliament this afternoon. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at holyrood. we know the uk government in westminster does not want a second referendum, so what are we expecting nicola sturgeon to say? well. referendum, so what are we expecting nicola sturgeon to say?— nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are exectin: nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are exoecting nicola _ nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are expecting nicola sturgeon _ nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are expecting nicola sturgeon to - nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are expecting nicola sturgeon to set - nicola sturgeon to say? well, we are expecting nicola sturgeon to set out| expecting nicola sturgeon to set out what has been described as a route map statement, how she intends to hold a referendum if westminster block her plans. remember the last time around, the uk government was in agreement with the scottish government that a referendum could be held in the form of the edinburgh agreement, transferring powers through the use of the section 30 order. that seems very unlikely this time around. the uk government position can be summed up in five words, they say, now is that the time stop —— now is not the time. i think we can expect a statement to focus on two areas from nicola
7:12 am
sturgeon, the first is mandate, the scottish secretary alisterjack would argue that there is not a mandate for another referendum because less than a third of the electorate voted for the snp. nicola sturgeon would argue strongly that is not correct, she would point out that a majority of msps here at holyrood are in favour of another referendum. that is the snp and greens combined, they are in a power—sharing deal with the scottish government. the second area is process. there were some suggestions that a referendum bill could be put forward in holyrood abbey fought out over the courts, we have seen a third area emerge in the last few weeks, the possibility of a consultative ballot with a different question to that which was posed in 2014. that question of course was, should scotland be an independent country, yes or no? there will be challenges to any consultative ballot in the courts, and whether
7:13 am
union voters decide to boycott any consultative ballot, pro union voters. at least three people have died and dozens are being treated for injuries after a passenger train derailed in the us state of missouri. the amtrak train, which was travelling from los angeles to chicago, hit a truck at a rail crossing, which had no barriers or lights. more than 200 people were on board. a man who murdered 22—year—old helen mccourt in 1988 and who always refused to reveal where he hid her body has died two years after his release from prison. pub landlord ian simms served 31 years for the murder, in st helens, but maintained his innocence. helen's mum marie described simms' death as a "great relief". greg mckenzie reports. it's been 34 years since 22—year—old helen mccourt was killed as she walked home from work in billinge in merseyside. she was murdered by former pub landlord ian simms. he's always refused to say
7:14 am
what he did with her body. the part that upsets me is she can see us, though. i can't have this last goodbye, ijust can't. the only thing i want is to have my child back. whatever tiny bits and pieces there are, it's my daughter's and i want them back. and i can't have them now. the conviction of helen mccourt�*s murder made history. simms was one of the first people in the uk convicted on dna evidence without the discovery of a body. helen's mum marie petitioned for many years for helen's law to deny parole to killers who refused to reveal where their victims' remains are, but delays caused by brexit and the general election meant the law was enacted
7:15 am
after simms was released. he will now take the secret of where helen is to his grave. but marie still hopes that new information could lead her to her daughter. greg mckenzie, bbc news. we'll be speaking to helen's mum, marie at 8.30am. a 29—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murdering a woman in east london. zara aleena, who was 35, was attacked while she walked through ilford in the early hours of sunday morning. the met police believe she was the victim of what it called an "opportunist stranger attack". quarter past seven, you are watching breakfast. let's see how the weather is looking because carol is back at wimbledon and she looks like she is about to go into somewhere very posh, are they going to let you in? your name is not down! ida.
7:16 am
posh, are they going to let you in? your name is not down!— posh, are they going to let you in? your name is not down! no, we can stand outside _ your name is not down! no, we can stand outside the _ your name is not down! no, we can stand outside the clubhouse - your name is not down! no, we can stand outside the clubhouse but. your name is not down! no, we can | stand outside the clubhouse but that is it! good morning, both! there is something rather special outside the clubhouse, so let's have a look and see what it is. there are five head and shoulder sculptures of the five british ladies singles champions. kitty godfrey was the first in 1924 becoming the first british single champion on centre court, beating hell on wheels to win the title. as we come down the line, you have got angela mortimer, 1961, and hayden jones beside me in 1969, and a lady that everybody knows, virginia wade won wimbledon in 1977. and there she is there. she is the only woman to have won titles in all four major tournaments. the sun is beating down, chilly and bluster is that the day.
7:17 am
the focus includes the risk of a shower, 45% chance, a little bit warmer than yesterday. central the rain is moving slowly eased through the day, cloud building ahead of it and a shower risk ahead of that. the windiest condition are in the west with exposure, it will be breezy wherever you are, with highs of 23 degrees. the rain advances towards the east through the day, showers following, what is cold last night. —— it is not as cold as last night. the rain will peter out as it gets to the east, then widespread under and heavy showers, then there will be some sunshine but the rain could come back into the south—east of england and east anglia tomorrow and head north through the course of the
7:18 am
following day. not out of the woods in terms of showers at wimbledon and nor are we over the next few days in the uk but things will settle down towards the end of this week. thank you, i bet you they will let you in later!— thank you, i bet you they will let you in later!_ "i you in later! fingers crossed! if ou you in later! fingers crossed! if you behave! — ghislaine maxwell will be sentenced by a us court today for recruiting and grooming girls for herformer partner, the paedophile jeffrey epstein, to abuse. maxwell, who is 60 years old and the daughter of the late, disgraced british media tycoon robert maxwell, could be jailed for up to 55 years. our new york correspondent nada tawfik has been speaking to annie farmer, the only victim to testify against maxwell using her real name. the sense of knowing you have spoken your truth is a powerful feeling. annie farmer's distressing testimony helped secure ghislaine maxwell's sex trafficking conviction.
7:19 am
0n the stand, she recounted how maxwell molested and groomed herfor abuse byjeffrey epstein when she was 16 years old. when maxwell is sentenced, annie hopes the judge considers all of those she harmed. these crimes have not only impacted the individuals that experienced them, but also that there is a systemic impact for those people's partners and families and loved ones. if you think about all the number of people involved, then the harm that she caused is almost immeasurable. jurors found maxwell guilty on five of the six counts against her in late december. annie and three other women detailed how maxwell was epstein's chief enabler, a predator who manipulated the teenagers and then tried to normalise sexual contact under the ruse of massage. still, in the latest court documents, her lawyers continue to argue that she is being made a scapegoat for epstein. in a bid for a lighter sentence they wrote, "she had a difficult, traumatic childhood
7:20 am
with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father. it made her vulnerable to epstein." they also raised concerns about her treatment in prison writing, "miss maxwell was the target of a credible death threat from a fellow inmate." annie farmer said she was disappointed but not surprised by maxwell's focus on how her own life had been ruined. ifelt, again, there had been an opportunity for her to take ownership of what she had done, for her, in some ways, to express remorse to the victims of her crimes. and it was all about her. evidence presented here during this high—profile trial gave the public a glimpse into maxwell and epstein's lavish lifestyle and relationship. but many questions remain. how did epstein amass all of his wealth? why did maxwell help him, and will any accomplices be held accountable? david boies represents dozens of epstein's accusers, including annie.
7:21 am
he said many of his clients are concerned that the justice department will consider the epstein case now closed. this could not have gone on at the scope it went on and for the years that it went on without the cooperation, complicity and collaboration of many people, some of them rich and powerful and politically connected. whether those people escape justice or not, i think, is one of the unanswered questions. annie says she and the other women are grateful to have got this far in their quest for accountability. after their long and difficult fight to be heard, ghislaine maxwell's sentencing is a significant step towards justice. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. tara palmeri is an investigative journalist who has interviewed some of the women who were abused by epstein. she joins us from new york.
7:22 am
thank you forjoining us. can we start on the procedural side of things? we assume sentencing will happen today but they have been questions about possible delays, what is your understanding, will it happen? i what is your understanding, will it ha en? , what is your understanding, will it ha--en? , .,, happen? i believe it will happen, it is in the interests _ happen? i believe it will happen, it is in the interests of _ happen? i believe it will happen, it is in the interests of ghislaine - is in the interests of ghislaine maxwell to have delays which is why her attorneys have asked to delay the sentencing, they have also claimed that her life is at risk in prison and they have asked to shorten her sentencing. this isjust standard defence procedure appeal, trying to delay the inevitable, but ultimately, the victims are being invited to speak in court, they will tell their story, and it's likely to go on. there have been a lot of hiccups in this case already, with a juror coming forward to saying that he lied on hisjury questionnaire, there was a worry that the whole case could be thrown out, ghislaine maxwell argued,
7:23 am
case could be thrown out, ghislaine maxwellargued, because case could be thrown out, ghislaine maxwell argued, because he was a sexual assault survivor himself. i think the judge sexual assault survivor himself. i think thejudge or try sexual assault survivor himself. i think the judge or try to move it on without another hiccup especially as there have been a lot of questions from the public are unaware that they can rely on new york state prosecutors to finish the job with this. and really put ghislaine imprison. this. and really put ghislaine imrison. ~ this. and really put ghislaine imprison-— this. and really put ghislaine imrison. ~ ~ ., ., �*, imprison. we know that maxwell's la ers imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are _ imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are talking _ imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are talking a _ imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are talking a lot _ imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are talking a lot about - imprison. we know that maxwell's lawyers are talking a lot about herj lawyers are talking a lot about her mental health, do we know, are there any accurate reports about her state of mind? , ., ., �*, of mind? her state of mind, it's been a topic— of mind? her state of mind, it's been a topic of— of mind? her state of mind, it's been a topic of conversation - of mind? her state of mind, it's i been a topic of conversation since she ended up in a brooklyn county jail. she said that the conditions were horrible, and that she is miserable, she is staffed, her family have used this plea for some kind of public sympathy and it has not worked in their favour in any way. at least in america there is a bit of a poor little rich girl feeling about her and her concerns
7:24 am
about being in prison, especially as she lived such an opulent lifestyle, going from yachts to helicopter to mansion, and then all at the same time abusing young women. i don't think there is a lot of sympathy for her in that regard. she is under suicide watch, she has complained in the past when she is under suicide watch, she is a high profile inmate so there is a lot of pressure to make sure she survives after epstein died injail. there is a lot of pressure to make sure that ghislaine maxwell does not take her own life. a lot of these predators, they tend to either be victims of violence imprison or take their own lives. there are so many conspiracy theories in this case, so many women who want justice you theories in this case, so many women who wantjustice you feel like they were robbed of it when epstein died, and also these women want more than just ghislaine maxwell being prosecuted, they believe there is an
7:25 am
entire network of recruiters and men who abuse then he should have to face justice as well. —— who abused bemmett who should have to face justice. brute bemmett who should have to face 'ustice. ~ , ., ., justice. we understand that ghislaine — justice. we understand that ghislaine maxwell's - justice. we understand thatj ghislaine maxwell's lawyers justice. we understand that - ghislaine maxwell's lawyers are pointing to traumatic childhood to get the sentence reduced. this is going to get a lot of attention today. i'm wondering about the state of mind of the victims, the women you have spoken to over the last few years, what is their state of mind at the moment, how important is this for them? , ., ., for them? hugely important, i have interviewed — for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a _ for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a lot _ for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a lot of _ for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a lot of them _ for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a lot of them for - for them? hugely important, i have interviewed a lot of them for my i interviewed a lot of them for my podcast, i have spoken to virginia giuffre, rebecca world, so many victims, we need to see how much justice means to them. this is a
7:26 am
huge step along the way, they have been demoralised because of the possibility of the mistrial because of the jury questionnaire, the feeling that no one is facing justice after epstein died, it took a full yearfor the justice after epstein died, it took a full year for the feds to arrest ghislaine maxwell and they feared that the powerful and rich are getting away for what happened. so for this to go on without a hitch is for this to go on without a hitch is for them, and i for this to go on without a hitch is forthem, and i think for this to go on without a hitch is for them, and i think there is a lot of pressure to make sure that happens. the public wants to see some sort ofjustice for this crime, the idea that the rich and powerful can abuse are most vulnerable women, children, is despicable in the psyche here in america. so i think while ghislaine maxwell can talk about her past and how she was abuse herself by her father, it's something she didn't introduce during the trial. i think it's interesting because it validated some of the points that the victims
7:27 am
made that a lot of people who are abused to turn out to be abusers themselves. it ghislaine maxwell wants to talk about the abuse she suffered under her own father, the media baron robert maxwell, it's an interesting decision but i don't know if the judges interested based on the severity of the crime she committed. brute on the severity of the crime she committed-— on the severity of the crime she committed. ~ ., committed. we will leave it there for now, thank _ committed. we will leave it there for now, thank you _ committed. we will leave it there for now, thank you for _ committed. we will leave it there for now, thank you for your - for now, thank you for your insights, the sentencing is later on today in new york. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm. frankie mccamley. another strike is taking place today and tomorrow — this time on the croydon tramlink. members of the drivers' union aslef are taking action following three days of strikes last week on the railways and a walk—out on the underground. aslef says tram drivers have been offered a 3% pay rise which it says in real
7:28 am
terms is a pay cut. 80% of people with a disability in the uk have an invisible condition or impairment. and this week on bbc london, we will be looking at how having these invisible disabilities can affect people. emily hale has a spinal condition causing a sideways curvature. she's trying to raise awareness of the condition. it is so important that we talk about invisible disabilities. people are understanding now that we have things going on beneath the surface that you perhaps cannot see. so opening up that conversation and creating awareness awareness is the only way, really, that we can gain that hacks awareness is the only way, really, that we can gain that understanding from others. as london celebrates 50 years of pride this year, the bishopsgate institute is calling on the public to send in stories and pride memorabilia for their people's pride archive. it says it wants to record
7:29 am
the excitement, the adventure and the highs and lows alongside the bravery of those who spoke out through the years. we're running a people's pride archive project, at the moment, encouraging people to donate photographs and tell us a story about a pride that has been special to them through the photography, as well. it doesn'tjust necessarily have to be pride. it can be black pride or trans pride. or even if it isjust a party they had in their back garden. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. we have a part suspension on the piccadilly and district lines. there's minor delays on hammersmith and city line. hello, good morning. it is going to be mostly settled as we head through today. we had showers yesterday but we saw the return of some blue sky and sunshine. i think tuesday is going to be similar to this. i think as we make our way through the rest of the week, we will probably have more sunny spells but we do have the risk of showers. we might have a few showers about through the course of this morning. few and far between. most areas staying largely dry. there will be patches of cloud about, but, by the afternoon,
7:30 am
it is going to be largely bright. so lots of sunshine on centre court at wimbledon. temperatures today are up at 22 celsius, so feeling warmer. the breeze picking up a little bit as we make our way through the second half of tuesday. as we make our way through this evening, it is going to stay largely dry and bright. cloud just beginning to build up as we make our way through the course of tonight, thickening through to the early hours. we have this band of rain moving in by the early hours, too. so it could be a damp start as we make our way into wednesday. mild with temperatures dropping down to 11 celsius. it should be mostly dry as we make our way through tomorrow. the greatest risk of seeing showers this week is probably going to be on thursday. that's it from me, i'm back in an hour. plenty more on our website and don't forget to follow us on our social media channels. now though it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast
7:31 am
with sally nugent and jon kay. nato leaders are meeting in madrid today after announcing plans to massively increase the number of troops ready to defend its borders against russia. the western alliance currently has 40,000 personnel ready to fight. that number will increase to 300,000. 0ur security correspondent frank gardner is in madrid. they have some serious work to do at the summit. they have some serious work to do at the summit-— the summit. they really have. good mornin: the summit. they really have. good morning from _ the summit. they really have. good morning from madrid. _ the summit. they really have. good morning from madrid. a _ the summit. they really have. good morning from madrid. a lot - the summit. they really have. good morning from madrid. a lot of - morning from madrid. a lot of challenges facing them. i think possibly the biggest is trying to maintain the unity. because you can see what is coming down the track. russia is winning in the east of ukraine. it has been a disasterfor russia but they are achieving military aims, seizing territory, and it is only a matter of time before president putin and the kremlin saysjob done, before president putin and the kremlin says job done, we before president putin and the kremlin saysjob done, we have liberated these areas, we announced
7:32 am
a ceasefire. that is going to... threatens to split the nato alliance because there will be some countries including britain, poland, baltic states, who will back ukraine saying absolutely not, they should not have to give up land and make a deal that leaves putin gobbling up 20% of ukraine. there will be other countries, which are hurting economically, that will be tempted to say, maybe it is time to cut a deal. they have to thrash that through here and work out how they will raise the money and the manpower to increase the rapid response force from 40,000 to 300,000. a massive increase. of course underneath this, there is the fear that what if this speaks the kremlin? what if they lash out and do something? that is a gamble they are having to take because every now and then president putin talks about is nuclear arsenal to remind the

7:35 am
particularly sweden is there is a large kurdish community there, 100,000, and turkey is refusing to give its green light while sweden shelters a number of people who it considers to be effectively terrorists. it does not accept them as political activists and wants them extradited to turkey. nato was hoping they would overcome these difficulties ahead of the summit and they have not been able to do, it is a sticking point.— a sticking point. thank you very much indeed. _ a sticking point. thank you very much indeed. keep _ a sticking point. thank you very much indeed. keep a _ a sticking point. thank you very much indeed. keep a night - a sticking point. thank you very much indeed. keep a night on i a sticking point. thank you very i much indeed. keep a night on the helicopters. this morning, our correspondents have been battling helicopters with jenny at the g7 and frank there. people being moved around. all security. these high—level political debates across europe. we will keep across those. there will probably be helicopters
7:36 am
going in and out of wimbledon but a beautiful view because it is a stunning day. john is looking very much at home. yes, good morning. if you cannot be at home in wimbledon in these wonderful surroundings, where can you feel at home? especially after a brilliant opening day. not least with the british players andy murray and emma raducanu in action and on centre and both winning. we will be talking about the work and effort that goes into getting these wonderful grass court so pristine ahead of the start of the tournament and we will speak to the head groundsman but let's talk about the hard work that went in for andy murray and emma raducanu on centre court. you can imagine the reception they were given. both came through with victories, impressive because both have not been in the best physical condition coming into these championships. asjoe wilson championships. as joe wilson reports.
7:37 am
they laid out centre court here 100 years ago for days like this. three matches with three players with 24 grand slam titles between them. 20 of them to him. covid vaccine not mandatory for wimbledon participation. novak djokovic's welcome was warm. his opponents kwon soon—woo of south korea nearest the camera, was inspired. here is a djokovic mis—hit on its way to tim peake territory. he needed four sets, but he made it. the djokovic routine here is familiar now. for emma raducanu, a centre court debut. was she ready, was she fit? well, here is an answer. first set, 6—4. alison van uytvanck, her belgian opponent, is ranked 46 in the world. she has the shots and the experience to take opportunities. serves were broken. the match remained uncertain. but raducanu did not wilt, did not yield. second set hers, 6—4. she is a grand slam champion.
7:38 am
she is still going at this year's wimbledon, and that now is what counts. ifelt people behind me going, emma, you've got this. and i am like, yeah, i've got this. so to come and play here, it's extremely special and this club itself is just amazing, to walk on these grounds to walk on these grounds and these courts. so i am happy to stay another day. cameron norrie, britain's top—ranked men's player, also made it through safely in the afternoon. but all those people on the hill had been waiting for andy murray evening. murray seemed very keen to display his energy, but he was a set down against australia's james duckworth before he really got going. that is murray at the top of the screen approaching the top of his form. but how was murray's serve? whoops, always time to try something new and, well, in the end, it won him the point. and the third set followed.
7:39 am
6—4 in the fourth, murray finally prevailed. his lights are still burning. i would say i am getting on a bit now so i don't know how many more opportunities i get to play on this court, so i want to make the most of every time i get to come out here now. yeah, glad i managed to get through and, hopefully, get another match on here in a couple of days. and if this year's fortnight is about watching those who have set the standards of modern tennis, then today's play offers serena and rafa and much more besides. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. we hope andy murray has a few more in him because the great british summer doesn't feel like a great british summer without andy murray at wimbledon. centre court looking wonderful and the chief grounds man is with us. do you listen to the players, do they give you feedback about what they make of the courts? we normally make it a point during
7:40 am
the practice week we try to get feedback to make sure they are happy with the condition. it is driven by the weather. that will have the ultimate determination of the courts but we try to get as much feedback. is it put in a polite manner or do they sometimes tell it to you straight? aha, they sometimes tell it to you straiuht? �* ., ., i. straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them _ straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them they _ straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them they will _ straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them they will say - straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them they will say it - straight? a lot of the time, if you asked them they will say it is - straight? a lot of the time, if you | asked them they will say it is fine, because they expect it to be a certain way. if they do not like something, they will say it. we always look for feedback, good, something, they will say it. we always look forfeedback, good, bad, indifferent. it is the only way we learn, to get feedback from players. but it is where we are trying to be generous to everybody so we set up the courts how we think they will best last and be fair to players at the same time.— best last and be fair to players at the same time. ~ , ., ~ ., the same time. when you think about centre and the _ the same time. when you think about centre and the show— the same time. when you think about centre and the show courts, - the same time. when you think about centre and the show courts, 18 - centre and the show courts, 18 courts in total. 20 practice courts. it is a lot of preparation. absolutely. we have a big team and
7:41 am
we have a team that comes in for the fortnight to do the measuring, readings of every single court, so we know we can keep them consistence, and test the hardness over the fortnight and we have moisture probes so we know how much moisture, how much water to put on. we can adjust measurements to make sure whether you are playing on a stadium court or outside court, the characteristic should be the same. you have been in thisjob 27 characteristic should be the same. you have been in this job 27 years. you have been in this job 27 years. you have been in this job 27 years. you have assumed the head groundsman role. when was that? when andy murray won in 2013? see you played a part in his success. hat murray won in 2013? see you played a part in his success.— part in his success. not that you want to claim — part in his success. not that you want to claim it. _ part in his success. not that you want to claim it. absolutely - part in his success. not that you j want to claim it. absolutely not. part in his success. not that you - want to claim it. absolutely not. my first championships 2013. through the years, since i have been here, there had always been that wanting of the next british champion. we had

it through the career of tim henman. for andi to do it on the first year was special and memorable for my first year in charge. it has been fantastic. a roller—coaster. different scenarios, weather, and you adapt to each championship as they come. you adapt to each championship as the come. ., ., ~ ., you adapt to each championship as they come-— they come. you talk about the weather. _ they come. you talk about the weather. i _ they come. you talk about the weather, i suppose _ they come. you talk about the weather, i suppose you - they come. you talk about the weather, i suppose you were i they come. you talk about the - weather, i suppose you were playing close attention yesterday with the chance of rain, which materialise. looking better today. fingers crossed. we will have a full schedule and get the catch up matches from yesterday and fingers crossed we can chill out and enjoy the tennis today. crossed we can chill out and en'oy the tennis today.�* crossed we can chill out and en'oy the tennis today. heather watson and ja clarke the tennis today. heather watson and jay clarke will — the tennis today. heather watson and jay clarke will be _ the tennis today. heather watson and jay clarke will be resuming _ the tennis today. heather watson and jay clarke will be resuming matches i jay clarke will be resuming matches later. we have reason to feel confident. but you are saying you can never 100% say it is not going to rain. there is a risk of the shower in the afternoon but if you flip that on its head, it means we are looking at a lot of dry weather and a higher
7:43 am
chance of staying dry them being wet. you can see courts number 10 behind me. did you know there are about 250 ball boys and girls chosen from 27 local schools. they go through a fitness test. 0ne local schools. they go through a fitness test. one thing they have to be able to do is to be able to stand absolutely still for at least three minutes. i do not think we could do that. but the weather is lovely, warming up quite nicely. the sky is blue. forwimbledon, a warming up quite nicely. the sky is blue. for wimbledon, a small risk of a shower but for many, especially in the north and west, looking at heavy rain and windy conditions. wimbledon will be blustery and more breezy than yesterday with temperatures up to 22, may be 23. eastern areas generally seeing brighter conditions
7:44 am
today than yesterday. as we go through the day, we have a weather front moving from the west to east and that is what is bringing heavy rain. it means cloud will build across the midlands. the odd risk of across the midlands. the odd risk of a shower in eastern areas. but the east staying largely derived. temperatures 13—24. as we head through the evening and overnight, as the rain pushes east it will brighten up with the evening sunshine in the west. the rain eventually making it to the london area by tomorrow morning. showers behind it. and it means it will not behind it. and it means it will not be a cold night. still a cold start in eastern areas tomorrow morning. talking of tomorrow, the rain does make it over to the east and clears. then we are looking at widespread showers. some will be heavy and
7:45 am
thundery. not as windy, so they will be slow—moving. between, some sunshine around. if you are in the sunshine, temperatures could get up to 24 somewhere in the south—east quarter. not as high as we move elsewhere. the pollen levels are a talking point in england and wales, they will be high or very high. thursday, it looks like rain will take another swipe at the east and south—east, moving northwards, clearing scotland in the morning, and then back into the cocktail of sunshine and showers, which again some will be heavy and thundery. after that, some will be heavy and thundery. afterthat, high some will be heavy and thundery. after that, high pressure looks like it will build in and things look like they will settle. let's hope thatis like they will settle. let's hope that is what happens. three minutes of standing still. what about three minutes of not using your mobile phone? can you do that.
7:46 am
no. is there anything you can do? no. we are asking about mobile phones because we spoke to the man who invented them. saying we use them too much. people have been getting in touch. sheila wrote in and said... "during the pandemic i introduced tech—free sundays for my son, which was good. simply a day of the week during which all electricals are banned for a set duration of time. i have had a message from twitter from john who is running at 11 hours, 21 minutes a day on his phone. john, get a life, mate. harsh. i don't want to check mine. it is probably worse. we did check yours. yours was fine. darren said
7:47 am
he has a pay—as—you—go phone and i only use it in emergencies. but, i do have internet on my laptop and spend an hour a day on it. we use the phone for everything, watch tv, listen to the radio. so, does the screen time at a? you are notjust staring at it. martin said why are we labelling it as a bad thing? phones are a part of everyday life and have replaced newspapers and tv. they give access to information and teachers, it is education. it is not just games and cat videos. quite a lot of cat videos and games. 0r quite a lot of cat videos and games. or you can do what i do. do not record how much time you spend on your phone. i did not even have it set up on my phone. we might check tomorrow. lindsay got in touch by pigeon post i assume because lindsay said she has never had a smartphone, does not have a

7:49 am
been recorded by an eclectic mix of artists to celebrate the city they call home. it's a song you will be hearing an awful lot of during the commonwealth games, as it's the music the bbc have decided to use across all their coverage. you kind of hear different people talk about, you know, they win a gold medal, or win a world cup, the feeling that they have, and it's kind of the same kind of feeling, you know, that you have something that a lot of people are going to hear, and hopefully like, you know, it's going to be played to millions of people all over the world. you couldn't ask for more. it really is an honour and a pleasure, and ifeel humbled to be part of it. let's go on a musical touraround birmingham. on record, as the album is called, was the idea ofjez collins, the founder of the birmingham music archive, and has been created as part of the birmingham 2022 festival. so, it'sjazz, rock, hip—hop, rap, grime, whatever it might be, and the idea, really, i suppose, was just to say, actually, birmingham is a city of music, and it is a music city,
7:50 am
and we wanted to record these songs, these artists, and capture them on record just to celebrate this brilliant city. and i think we've done that. this double grammy award winner is another artist on the album. born in nigeria, the jazz musician now calls birmingham home along with his wife kate and named his son after the raid where they live. it is kate and named his son after the raid where they live.— raid where they live. it is an honour- _ raid where they live. it is an honour. part _ raid where they live. it is an honour. part of _ raid where they live. it is an honour. part of history. - raid where they live. it is an honour. part of history. i i raid where they live. it is an | honour. part of history. i am raid where they live. it is an - honour. part of history. i am glad i have got my name into it. among great musicians and artists. the album also _ great musicians and artists. the album also introduces new artists. great musicians and artists. the - album also introduces new artists. i am super happy and super excited. i am super happy and super excited. i am also_ am super happy and super excited. i am also happy to kind of be

8:02 am
emergency responders crowd together after dozens of bodies were found in an abandoned lorry. more than a dozen survivors, including children, were rushed to hospital. a worker who works in the buildings up here behind me heard a cry for help, came out to investigate, found a trailer with the doors partially open, opened them up to take a look and found a number of deceased individuals inside. the lorry was found in san antonio, texas, around 250 kilometres from the us mexico border. the victims are believed to be migrants trying to make their way into the united states. the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heat
8:03 am
stroke, heat exhaustion, no signs of water in the vehicle, it was a refrigerated tractor—trailer but there was no visible working ac unit on that rig. we're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies in there. none of us come to work imagining that. the governor of texas, greg abbott, has blamed us president joe biden for the deaths, arguing they are a result of his deadly open border policies. state officials in texas have been dealing with record levels of migrant crossings from mexico, as they have prepared for a surge during a hot summer, with temperatures reaching 39.4 celsius on monday. as a federal investigation is launched, these deaths are a reminder of how perilous thatjourney is. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. president volodymyr zelensky has described a russian missile strike
8:04 am
on a shopping centre in central ukraine as "one of the most brazen terrorist acts in the history of europe". at least 18 people were killed, and more than 50 injured, when the mall was hit yesterday afternoon. rescue crews have spent the night searching for survivors. our europe correspondent, nick beake, has more. this inferno is not a ukrainian military target. it's a ukrainian shopping centre. no weapons here, just families. these were the bewildering minutes after russia's latest devastating missile attack on the central city of kremenchuk. inside the building, panic. "is anyone alive?" a man calls out. there's a faint answer. "where are you? come here," the man says again. monday afternoon shoppers became paramedics, helping to load
8:05 am
the injured into ambulances. those nearby at the time of impact struggling to make sense of what had happened. i was not far away from the place where it happened, some 500 metres away. and people were running around, and after about 30 minutes, i decided to go and check out the place. the centre was just destroyed. i just am out of words. i did not expect something like this could happen in my town. as they began to clear the wreckage, the number of dead was rising. each piece of debris revealing a clearer picture of the damage done. well, for hours now, they have been bringing out these pieces of mangled metal from the shopping centre, leaving them here, and the work goes on. even though it's now pitch black and that is
8:06 am
because there is an urgency. many people were in the shopping centre at the time of the attack and the fear is that many more people have died. speaking at the shopping centre, ukraine's interior minister told us that this was an act of terrorism, perpetrated by putin and the russian federation. president zelensky claimed up to 1000 people could have been inside at the time, and had these words. translation: only completely messed up terrorists, _ for whom there is no place on earth, could strike such a place. it's not an accidental hit by missiles, it is a deliberate russian strike. this carnage is more than 80 miles away from russian occupied land, so it was most likely the work of a guided missile. why here? we don't know. but moscow is showing this city and the watching world its assault
8:07 am
on ukraine and its people is not going to stop. nick beake, bbc news, ukraine. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. good joe inwood is in kyiv. morning. an attack like this feels good morning. an attack like this feels like a message from president putin that nobody in ukraine is safe, how are people they responding? i safe, how are people they responding?— safe, how are people they responding? i think they are responding _ responding? i think they are responding with _ responding? i think they are responding with the - responding? i think they are responding with the shock. responding? i think they are i responding with the shock that responding? i think they are - responding with the shock that you would expect given an attack like this. you see the pictures in nick's report, a truly devastating scene, 1000 people inside the shopping centre according to president zelensky. we have seen people in hospital beds suffering from terrible injuries and talking of an appalling incident. that feeling that you referenced there that this was a message from the kremlin, i think that it is something here that people really do feel quite
8:08 am
strongly, that he was sending a message notjust the people of ukraine but to the g7 leaders who have been meeting recently talking about more support to this country. there seems to have been a correlation between that kind of meeting where international actors are talking about this conflict and events like this happening. as ever it is the people of ukraine you pay the price for attacks like this. thank you, joe, live in kyiv. the leaders of the world's richest nations were meeting at the g7 summit in germany when the attack in ukraine took place. they issued a joint statement describing it as "abominable". our berlin correspondent jenny hill is in germany. what are they going to do, how will they act or respond beyond that? what kind of impact is that moment, that strike, going to have on the meeting taking place? i that strike, going to have on the meeting taking place?— that strike, going to have on the meeting taking place? i think it is a terrible reminder— meeting taking place? i think it is a terrible reminder for _ meeting taking place? i think it is a terrible reminder for the - meeting taking place? i think it is| a terrible reminder for the leaders of what or rather who they are dealing with here. vladimir putin
8:09 am
will be held accountable for this indiscriminate attack on civilians, they have also overnight made a pledge, they will not rest until russia ends what they describe as a cruel and senseless war. their strategy is twofold, first of all to step up support to ukraine, more money, more weapons. secondly they will pile pressure on vladimir putin, there is a german acknowledgement that existing sanctions have not succeeded in cutting off vital sources of revenue with which he is funding the war so expect when they deliver a final statement at the end of the summit today to see more details about further sanctions. talking about piling on the pressure, many of these leaders are flying off to the nato summit in madrid later on today. the nato chiefjust yesterday announced very publicly that it is to strengthen its capabilities as the war in ukraine continues. for now, the war in ukraine continues. for
8:10 am
now. thank— the war in ukraine continues. for now, thank you very much indeed, jenny. nicola sturgeon will explain today how she plans to hold a second referendum on scottish independence. the first minister will make a statement in the scottish parliament this afternoon. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at holyrood. good morning. what exactly can we expect her to say?— expect her to say? good morning. i think exoect _ expect her to say? good morning. i think expect nicola _ expect her to say? good morning. i think expect nicola sturgeon - expect her to say? good morning. i think expect nicola sturgeon today| think expect nicola sturgeon today to focus on two areas, the first being mandate, the first minister would argue strongly that she has a mandate to hold a second referendum, that a majority of snp and green msps who are pro independence were voted in at the last holyrood elections, and they are together in government. but there are many ways to slice the cake and the secretary of state for scotland alisterjack, who represents the uk government, would argue strongly there is not a mandate for another referendum. he would say that that doesn't exist because less than a third of the electorate voted for the snp last time around. there will be arguments
8:11 am
about mandate. the second area is processed, the path to the second referendum that was used in 2015 —— 2014, the edinburgh agreement, appears to be closed off. the uk government does not seem to be receptive to that. so might nicola sturgeon talk this afternoon of a consultative ballot, with a different question to that which was used back in 2014? we don't know exactly what she will say that there is one of the ideas that has been mooted in these past few weeks. a consultative ballot will face its own challenges, could it be blocks in the courts, would it be boycotted in the courts, would it be boycotted in pro union voting circles, and if it was yes, would it be recognised nationally and internationally? nicola sturgeon will flesh out these areas in what she is describing as a route map statement this afternoon. the first minister is saying, scots
8:12 am
must have the democratic choice they have voted for and she is warning uk ministers not to thwart democracy. 11 minutes past eight, and on the morning of some pretty heavy, serious, pretty grim, sad news stories can be could do we could do with some sunshine and a smile. good morning. iam in centre good morning. i am in centre court and there are 15,000 seats on centre court. annabelle croft is waiting to do and interview there, a few interviews taking place this morning. some other interesting fact, tennis balls have to be kept at a specific temperature to make sure they bounce at a consistent height and there are special fridges at the side of each court whether tennis balls are stored at exactly 20 degrees. it is 20 degrees here
8:13 am
yet, but we are expecting it to get that high later on today. the forecast for wimbledon today is mostly dry, just a chance of a shower. five to 10% chance in the afternoon, temperatures getting up to 21 anyway, 23 degrees possibly. it will be blustery and it should stay largely dry with the sunshine. we have got a lot of rain in the north—west of the country and it is windy. cloud will be building ahead of it, eastern areas dry bar the odd shower. this evening and overnight, the rain will push eastwards, eventually getting into the london area. on the other side of it in the west we will hang on to some showers, some could be heavy or potentially thundery. not as cold start the day tomorrow as it was this morning in eastern areas because of the cloud in the rain.
8:14 am
tomorrow the rain cleared and we see a return to widespread showers. in between some sunshine, but it will not be as windy tomorrow so the showers are slow moving. after that and settled at high pressure building later in the week so things should settle down. doesn't it look glorious there this morning? it doesn't it look glorious there this mornint ? ., , doesn't it look glorious there this mornint? ., , ., , time now for some really good news and it's about the radio one dj adele roberts, who has been undergoing treatment for bowel cancer since last year. adele has just had the results of a check—up, which revealed that the surgery and chemo did the trick. she is now cancerfree. graham satchell has been taking a look back at what adele has been through over the past few months and the message she's now determined to spread. we're here at the hospital where i've been receiving my treatment to see my brilliant stoma nurse
8:15 am
elaine — audrey's second mum. let's go. radio1 dj adele roberts was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just 42. we filmed with her last month. do you know, i never nearly came in, i never nearly rang the gp because i was worried, because of covid, i thought i would be a burden to the nhs. bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the uk. alternating between diarrhoea and constipation, having lots of mucus. bleeding. and if it lasts more than three weeks, you should absolutely get it checked out, because if we catch it early, it's treatable. see, elaine's right. early diagnosis saves lives. go and get checked, don't be shy. adele had an operation to remove a tumour injanuary and has been having chemotherapy. when we filmed with her,
8:16 am
she was looking forward to a vital checkup. in six weeks, i am going to have a scan and, fingers crossed, it's going to say i'm cancer—free. and i think that will be the greatest day of my life. adele had the scan yesterday and was given the all clear. on social media, she said... welcome to my bathroom. as part of her treatment, adele now has a stoma which she calls audrey. this essentially is my small intestine. the reason the doctors gave me this is because my large colon is healing at the moment because i've had a tumour removed. it is an opening in her skin that allows her to go to the loo while the rest of her body is recovering from surgery. so in a weird way, i've not been to the toilet since october last year.
8:17 am
right, ready? yeah. adele has been helped every step of the way by her partner kate. sharing her story, being so open and honest, has been an inspiration to other people living with cancer. at the weekend, adele was named role model of the year at the annual british lgbt awards — a recognition, they said, of her determination to open the conversation about bowel cancer, to publicise the symptoms, to make sure no one dies in embarrassment. being given the all—clear is the news adele and all her followers had been desperately hoping for. graham satchell, bbc news. how brilliant is that? it is amazing. _ how brilliant is that? it is amazing, great. - the doctor who delivered the good news to adele was her consultant,
8:18 am
who she described as her "angel on earth", dr khurum khan. he joins us now from south london. angel on earth, that is a nice thing to be cold, what did you make that description, doctor?— to be cold, what did you make that description, doctor? good morning! first of all. — description, doctor? good morning! first of all, thank _ description, doctor? good morning! first of all, thank you _ description, doctor? good morning! first of all, thank you very - description, doctor? good morning! first of all, thank you very much i first of all, thank you very much for having me on your show, it's absolutely. pleasure. it has been an outstanding experience treating adele and patients like herself, it's why i feel so proud and happy to be a physician who has interesting cancer may be medicine. she has been very complimentary and i am humbled she has been very complimentary and iam humbled by she has been very complimentary and i am humbled by her comments. that's why one should take the career of medicine, the trust and the faith that patients have on you, and when you can deliver, its all about that. you can deliver, it's all about that. ., , you can deliver, it's all about that. t, , ., , you can deliver, it's all about that._ doctor i you can deliver, it's all about - that._ doctor khan, that. lovely words. doctor khan, this is a lovely _ that. lovely words. doctor khan, this is a lovely moment - that. lovely words. doctor khan, this is a lovely moment but - that. lovely words. doctor khan, this is a lovely moment but i - that. lovely words. doctor khan, i this is a lovely moment but i know there _ this is a lovely moment but i know there must— this is a lovely moment but i know there must have been times over the last eight— there must have been times over the last eight months where it has not been _ last eight months where it has not been easy, — last eight months where it has not been easy, how do you help people

8:20 am
and tell everybody about what they are going to and getting checked, what difference does it make? i think adele has done an exceptional 'ob. think adele has done an exceptional job. obviously, with brilliant media campaigns, people have now got more awareness _ campaigns, people have now got more awareness about cancer but what adele _ awareness about cancer but what adele has — awareness about cancer but what adele has done is impact. firstly, she has— adele has done is impact. firstly, she has an — adele has done is impact. firstly, she has an impact on society because of the _ she has an impact on society because of the position, privileged position she is— of the position, privileged position she is in. — of the position, privileged position she is in, people follow her obviously on social media, media, the first— obviously on social media, media, the first aspect of general awareness of cancer. the sooner the diagnosis. _ awareness of cancer. the sooner the diagnosis, the better the outcome will be _ diagnosis, the better the outcome will be. the second aspect is about colorectal— will be. the second aspect is about colorectal cancer itself specifically, one of those cancers where _ specifically, one of those cancers where we — specifically, one of those cancers where we are well aware that screening actually makes a big impact — screening actually makes a big impact on the outcomes. so again that message is reiterated by her excellent — that message is reiterated by her excellent campaign. and thirdly, adele _ excellent campaign. and thirdly, adele is — excellent campaign. and thirdly, adele is a — excellent campaign. and thirdly, adele is a very young patient, actually, _ adele is a very young patient, actually, so it is an example of

see you at 9:15. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. another strike is taking place today and tomorrow — this time on the croydon tramlink. members of the drivers' union aslef are taking action following three days of strikes last week on the railways and a walk—out on the underground. aslef says tram drivers have been offered a 3% pay rise which it says is, in real terms, a pay cut. 80% of people with a disability in the uk have an invisible condition or impairment. and this week on bbc london we will be looking at how having these invisible disabilities can affect people. emily hale has a spinal condition causing a sideways curvature she's trying
8:30 am
back she's trying to raise awareness of the conditions. it is so important that we talk about invisible disabilities. people are understanding now that we have things going on beneath the surface that you perhaps cannot see. so opening up that conversation and creating awareness awareness is the only way, really, that we can gain that understanding from others. as london celebrates 50 years of pride this year, the bishopsgate institute is calling on the public to send in stories and pride memorabilia for their people's pride archive. it says it wants to record the excitement, the adventure and the highs and lows alongside the bravery of those who spoke out through the years. we're running a people's pride archive project, at the moment, encouraging people to donate photographs and tell us a story about a pride that has been special to them through the photography, as well. it doesn'tjust necessarily have to be pride. it can be black pride or trans pride. or even if it isjust a party they had in their back garden.

8:32 am
cloud just beginning to build up as we make our way through the course of tonight, thickening through to the early hours. we have this band of rain moving in by the early hours, too. so it could be a damp start as we make our way into wednesday. mild with temperatures dropping down to 11 celsius. it should be mostly dry as we make our way through tomorrow. the greatest risk of seeing showers this week is probably going to be on thursday. that's it from me. i'm backjust after 9. plenty more on our website and dont forget to follow us on our social media channels. now though it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. for the last 34 years, marie mccourt has been grieving the loss of her daughter, helen, who was murdered at the age of 22. during that time, marie has also been denied what would have been a small crumb of comfort —
8:33 am
knowing the whereabouts of helen's body. the only person who knew that information — helen's murderer ian simms — has died, two years after he was released from prison. mariejoins us now. good morning. thank you so much for coming in. tell us how you heard the news about ian simms' death. i received a telephone call at lunchtime yesterday and that was from the probation service for families in my situation. you have lost a loved one. and so that was when i was given this information. i really thought, because she was a bit low on the telephone to me, and i said you are not going to tell me

that he has had the tag taken off, don't tell me that. she said, no, he is dead. i went, what? don't tell me that. she said, no, he is dead. iwent, what? she don't tell me that. she said, no, he is dead. i went, what? she said, dad. eventually, apparently, the only way they knew, because he has a tag on him. i don't know whether it was that. if he is moving about, they are following his trail. and so therefore, when it stopped, they must have thought, this has not moved. as far as i know, i could be wrong, but that is how they found out he was dead.— wrong, but that is how they found out he was dead. what goes through our mind out he was dead. what goes through your mind when _ out he was dead. what goes through your mind when you _ out he was dead. what goes through your mind when you get _ out he was dead. what goes through your mind when you get that - out he was dead. what goes through your mind when you get that phone | your mind when you get that phone call? i your mind when you get that phone call? ~' ., . , your mind when you get that phone call? ~ ., ., , ., call? i know the lady from the probation _

up had. he has spent half of his life up to murdering helen and he has beenin up to murdering helen and he has been in the other half in prison. i suppose the fact is that now he is dead, you will never know where... i don't know. we still go out searching. we don't go out like we did every sunday for eight years, butjustjohn and i go out. we have people who are very good picking up say where clay is, certain types of clay, because we know it is important. i do not believe ian simms ever kept a secret when he was in prison. i hope that maybe now he is dead, one of the inmates, he may be said what he did, where he put helen. ., , , be said what he did, where he put helen. . , , .,, .,,

8:38 am
the body found, they would want to know who killed this person. and if the people in the village, in the end, this is in a book, one of the law books, and apparently, the police then decided that the people in the village, one of you know who committed the crime, or you know the person who committed the crime. and unless you tell us who that person is, you will all get locked up. the whole village. that gradually stopped going out as a law. i think it must still be on it, but that is the there. so i want these killers, when you are found guilty of murder and there is nobody, lots of evidence to prove it to a jury, and they will not tell the family, people do not realise how hard it is
8:39 am
for these families to deal with. to be clear, the change in the law you have got through means that if somebody does not acknowledge where a body was left, their chances of probation and release are cut? iah probation and release are cut? ian simms probation and release are cut? ia�*i simms was released because probation and release are cut? iagr'u simms was released because they knew that helen's law was going on the statute book in the january. so they cleared him for being released. they had done it before. they would probably say no, they didn't, but... but for otherfamilies probably say no, they didn't, but... but for other families now and in the future this will be in effect? yes. we have well over 50, since i have been trying to get helen's law, so many families who are going through the same i have done. some of the victims' bodies have been
8:40 am
found. but only part of them. and thatis found. but only part of them. and that is as heartbreaking as anything. and these killers, they think they can get away with murder. sadly for them, but good for us, theirfamilies, at least sadly for them, but good for us, their families, at least we sadly for them, but good for us, theirfamilies, at least we know what happened to our loved ones. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. thank you so much for talking to us this morning-— this morning. could i 'ust say one thint ? this morning. could i 'ust say one thing? now. h this morning. could i 'ust say one thing? now. it this morning. could i 'ust say one thing? now, i have _ this morning. could ijust say one thing? now, i have helen's- this morning. could ijust say one thing? now, i have helen's law, | this morning. could ijust say one i thing? now, i have helen's law, but now i am working to have something else, different from helen's, but the... it hasjust else, different from helen's, but the... it has just gone. else, different from helen's, but the... it hasjust gone. it is else, different from helen's, but the... it has just gone. it is over having the desecration. this is what i want. the desecration. those that desecrate their victims remains. i

8:42 am
yesterday for emma raducanu and andy murray. both getting their campaign started with a victory. this is where emma raducanu came out yesterday, the first time on centre court, had not played on here before. an amazing victory when you consider the difficulties she has faced coming into this tournament with the fitness issues she has had as she faced a tough opponent in the shape of alison van uytvanck of belgium but she came through in straight sets. she announced herself on the biggest stage here when she reached the fourth round and we know what happened at the us open but she had a tough opponent who knocked out the defending champion in 2018. no signs of the burden of expectation weighing her down yesterday as she was encouraged by the crowd on centre court and playing for the first time. no sign of the injuries that hampered preparation in the lead up to the tournament. she was clearly feeling the love on centre court.
8:43 am
i'm 19 and ijust took a gap year and it went very well. i'm waiting for freshers' week in september! i mean, i'm still very new to it. i think that had last year not have happened, a 19—year—old walking onto centre court is just an incredible occasion and i really took that in today. i played like a 19—year—old who is playing on centre court. yeah, it made the year that's gone by all worth itjust to get a win on centre. last year she was sitting her a—levels before turning up at wimbledon. and then winning the us open. great to see andy murray back. he has had injury problems. he said in the lead up practising at wimbledon he felt in great shape and has been playing well having made the final of the tournament in germany where he lost to last year's beaten finalist here matteo berrettini. at 35 he showed andy murray can surprise us, channelling nick kyrgios with a cheeky underarm
8:44 am
serve which we will see here as he came through his match againstjames duckworth. he was last up on centre court. at 35, all the highs andy murray has given the public winning the title twice, he appears to savour the moment because he does not know how many more chances he will get. i'm getting on a bit now, so i don't know how many more opportunities i get to play on this court so i want to make the most of every time i get to come out here now. there's always nerves and pressure and butterflies and stress and all of those things before the first match. so, yeah, great to get out here and get a win under my belt. yeah, hopefully play betterfrom here on. we will see him back here in the second round tomorrow. let's reflect on the victories yesterday. annabel croft is with us. what a win for emma raducanu. it croft is with us. what a win for emma raducanu.—

8:46 am
position, he said, so he thought he would throw in the cheeky underarm serve. he also was slow to get going but once he did it was that tom and jerry tennis tactics. cat and mouse, prodding, poking, getting underthe skin of his opponent. he has so much talent and tactical awareness of how to make his opponent feel uncomfortable. having put the ball in awkward positions we saw the soft hand skills around the net.— hand skills around the net. vintage andy murray. _ hand skills around the net. vintage andy murray. i _ hand skills around the net. vintage andy murray, i thought. _ hand skills around the net. vintage andy murray, i thought. bringing i andy murray, i thought. bringing more stardust today, serena williams and rafa nadal on centre court. amazing to see serena williams back because it is hard to believe we have not seen her in a singles match for a year. she was out on the court last year retiring in the first set. i did not know if we would see her back on court again. suddenly last week she appeared to play doubles. she played a couple of matches. i
8:47 am
thought she looked as if she was not hitting the ball too badly considering she has been off the tour a year. she has not come back tour a year. she has not come back to the tournament to make up the numbers. she has come to try to get that extra grand slam, the record equalling grand slam, two—time margaret court. it will be amazing to see her back here.— to see her back here. thanks for 'oinint to see her back here. thanks for joining us- _ to see her back here. thanks for joining us- it _ to see her back here. thanks for joining us. it is _ to see her back here. thanks for joining us. it is the _ to see her back here. thanks for joining us. it is the big _ to see her back here. thanks for joining us. it is the big one - to see her back here. thanks for joining us. it is the big one for i joining us. it is the big one for serena williams. part of a farewell tour because she was injured here, and retiring injured in the opening round. you can never write her off. so many wins under her belt. you would not think tennis was played on the court yesterday. it looks unbelievable. centre court in the sunshine. we spoke to the head groundsman who was telling us about the equipment they are using. the lawnmower they use out here, £15,000. arguably the world's most expensive lawnmower. if you spend

that much of the lawnmower you would probably want to drive it to work. studio: you probably can drive that one to work! john has lawn envy. we have been asking this morning how much time you spend on your phone. how many hours when you rack up? we are not telling anyone. the answer is almost certainly too much, which is causing more of us to swap our smartphones for "dumb" phones, which have fewer distractions. even the man who helped to invent the very first mobile phone believes his creation has got out of control. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been talking to him. this is what the very first mobile phone looked like. as you can see, its huge. this is martin cooper, the man who helped to invent the very first mobile phone, the man who made the very first mobile phone call. after 20, 25 minutes,
8:49 am
the battery would die. of course, that wasn't a problem because the phone was so heavy, you couldn't hold it up for 20 or 25 minutes. do you know how many people have a mobile phone right now on earth? and, way back when, could you ever imagine it would be that prolific? of course, we knew even back in the 19705, 1960s, that everybody would ultimately have a mobile phone. in fact, the story that we told was some day, when you were born, you would be assigned a phone number and if you didn't answer the phone, you had died. phone rings. good afternoon. what we did not anticipate is that you are going to have access to the internet, a digital camera, this powerful computer in your phone, because none of those things existed.
8:50 am
today, more than 6.5 billion people own a mobile. almost 84% of the world's population. but let's stop and ask how they are all doing with that. how long do you think you spend on your phone every day? when i'm not at work, maybe five or six hours. most of the day, to be honest. so you go, screen time. i'm going to get caught now. daily average five hours, 29 minutes. six hours 25 minutes. i feel like that is probably average. what are you looking at all day? cats and food. it's mainly youtube. cat videos, food videos. what's it called? asmr. what's asmr? it's people eating and making sounds. what? some people have had enough. my name is dulcie cowling and i gave up my smartphone because it was too addictive. i would pick up my phone
8:51 am
to do something simple like check the weather and, the next thing i knew, i would be putting clothes into a shopping basket or reading about something terrible going on in the world. this is what dulcie did. remember these? she ditched her smartphone and switched to an old—style dumb phone. all the telephone capability without any of the apps. would you recommend it? i would recommend it. i think there are nicer things to spend your time on. more and more people are making this choice. but with the old dumb phone 3g network being switched off in 2033, tech entrepreneurs are updating martin cooper's original idea. hello, my name is kai. i co—founded light phone in brooklyn, new york. we created a simple style smartphone that strips away all the noise and distractions so you can have just the essential tool without being distracted constantly
8:52 am
by your smartphone and social media. so there are phone calls, texts, maps and music, but none of the distracting apps? what we are creating is similar to a hammer or screwdriver, right? you use it and then you put it back. they disappear. it is not like you use your hammer and swipe your hammer for two hours for entertainment. it isjust weird. why can't i bring a simple tool that does what i want it to do without trying to make money off my data and my time and attention? of course, when you go through the beginning stages of new technology, there are always things that are unanticipated. suddenly, social media has just gotten impossible. suddenly, some social media has just gotten impossible. taking over some people's lives. they permit the dissemination of false information. so there are lots of disadvantages.
8:53 am
but what is the solution to that? the solution is education. make sure the mobile phone does all these functional things that make people's lives better, make them smarter, make them more them more efficient so that we can eliminate poverty. in the future where your cell phone will be with you all the time. if you can do a physical examination every minute or two, then you can really anticipate diseases before they happen. so those are the really good things and they are so much more important than some of these disadvantages that happen. we are going to figure it out, but it's going to take at least another generation. six hours. can you get your calculator out? i don't want to know. the mobile has evolved. it eats our time... that's awful. 91 days. a year. ..and our attention. that's three months.
8:54 am
but the man who was there from the very beginning thinks it could be the very thing that saves us all. i would guess that i use my mobile phone less than 5% of my time. so what would you say to anybody like myself who are upwards of five hours? do you really? you really spend five hours a day? i'd say, jayne, get a life. get a life. i think we all need to get a life. it seems from your responses, five, six hours is average. someone on our average. someone on oui’ team has average. someone on our team has an eight hour average. do we know who? no, some of... one of our presenters who will remain anonymous. i havejust had a message

on twitter from roy. anonymous. i havejust had a message on twitterfrom roy. last anonymous. i havejust had a message on twitter from roy. last friday, anonymous. i havejust had a message on twitterfrom roy. last friday, 22 hours and 20 minutes. how do you do that? roy? are you sure? he sent me a screenshot. i think it is real. we'rejoined now by dr mary aiken, who's a professor of forensic cyber—psychology. good morning. have you switch your phone off? absolutely. we are all addicted? i do not know if we can use the term addiction. we talk about addictive type behaviours or problematic phone use. the point about that is it can lead to increased stress, sleep disruption, and also to increase levels of anxiety and depression. in terms of problematic use of any device. ~ ., , ~ , ., device. what is the link? when you see increased _ device. what is the link? when you see increased stress, _ device. what is the link? when you see increased stress, anxiety, - see increased stress, anxiety, depression, is it because we are not doing other stuff and it occupies too much of our time? it is doing other stuff and it occupies too much of our time?— too much of our time? it is a complex _ too much of our time? it is a complex area. _ too much of our time? it is a complex area. when - too much of our time? it is a complex area. when we - too much of our time? it is a complex area. when we talk| too much of our time? it is a - complex area. when we talk about smartphone use. we saw in the clip
8:56 am
talking about the dumb phone. we see this desire to go back to something more simple. effectively the dumb phone has limited functionality. you can text and call, but it eliminates a lot of the problems associated with compulsive use of technology. the point is the phone itself is a gateway. technology is not good or bad, it is either used well or poorly by humans. it is a gateway to the internet and social media. effectively, what we see is that when people become overly consumed by the content online, what we call weapons of mass distraction in terms of social media, we are tapping into our psychological achilles' heel. it is the attention economy and monetisation of our attention. it is how we use _
8:57 am
monetisation of our attention. it is how we use them _ monetisation of our attention. it is how we use them as well as how much? absolutely, and the point is, we are adults, we are done and cooked, losing brain cells at this stage. i worry about kids. if you look at the latest statistics, ofcom in this area, and i was reviewing a 2022 report, 17% of 3—4 —year—olds have a mobile device. three to four—year—olds? almost one in five. 25% of 3-4 four—year—olds? almost one in five. 25% of 3—4 —year—olds have a social media profile. the same report states seven out of ten parents are concerned about what their children are doing online. we describe this area as online harm. that is a spectrum of harms ranging from cyber bullying. in this study, 84% of 3—17 —year—olds said they were cyber bullied. and only 60% reported
8:58 am
real—world bullying. so in the spectrum of harm ranges from bullying, harassment, disinformation, cyberfraud, fraudulent activity online. disinformation, cyber fraud, fraudulent activity online. let's talk solutions _ fraudulent activity online. let's talk solutions and _ fraudulent activity online. let's talk solutions and be _ fraudulent activity online. let's talk solutions and be positive. to parents watching, they are worried about how you begin to control or at least address this. the about how you begin to control or at least address this.— least address this. the first thing is to focus on _ least address this. the first thing is to focus on online _ least address this. the first thing is to focus on online harm. - least address this. the first thing is to focus on online harm. i - least address this. the first thing | is to focus on online harm. i work worldwide in the us and europe. the uk is leading in this area in terms of one of the first countries to introduce an online safety bill that is broad and far—reaching. it is working through a process at the moment. i work closely with the government department responsible in this area. effectively we have a new thriving sector called online safety technologies. we have had 50 years
8:59 am
of cyber security, which protects data, systems and network. it does not protect what it is to be human online. that is why we need to factor the human into the equation. your data will never suffer from low self esteem. it will never feel the need for revenge. safety check, new sector technology is designed to address these problems. so interesting. i address these problems. so interesting. lam address these problems. so interesting. i am feeling guilty. i think we all are. this is something we will return to. thank you for coming in. could you do without your phone three hours? definitely. i willjust check it now. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59.
9:00 am
this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the latest headlines... 46 people have been found dead in an abandoned lorry on the outskirts of the texan city of san antonio. we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy. so i would urge you all to think compassionately and pray for the deceased, the ailing, the families. borisjohnson and other g7 leaders say yesterday's russian missile strike on a shopping centre in ukraine was a war crime. at least 18 people died in the attack in the city of kremenchuk. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon will set out her plans to hold a second referendum on scottish independence. do you think it's the right time
