6:23 am
hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'mjane hill and taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hello, jane. what have you been watching? very mixed bag, this week. we have minions: the rise of gru, the little yellow people are back. we have tigers, which is a sports drama with a difference, it was sweden's academy awards entry. and nitram, a very disturbing drama with a great central performance by caleb landryjones. so where do you stand on minions? i have seen one of them. it made me laugh, i seem to remember, it was a while ago, there have been a lot of them. yes, there have, but i think that is a good thing. so this is the sequel to the minions movie, which was the prequel to the despicable me movies, which is where we first met the minions. so it's set in the 19705,
6:24 am
the main character was a kid, gru — he dreams of something called the vicious six, his plans go awry, he ends up being kidnapped and therefore the minions must save gru and in order to save him they have to do a whole load of things, including learning martial arts by master chow, voiced by michelle yeo. i think this is hilarious. don't tell to me i cannot break this word. but doubt exists only in the mind. you know what i say to my mind? yah! now you. argh! kevin, kevin, kevin. yah! ok, we are both laughing a lot!
6:25 am
0k. and i haven't even seen it! there we are! that is so silly, but very funny. yes, and it made you laugh, so russell brand, julie andrews, steve carell — obviously — a plot involving a magical stone, none of that matters. what matters is generally think is that the minions are the great animated slapstick creation of our time, in the same way as tom and jerry. it is a formula that works and i love slapstick comedy — i absolutely love slapstick comedy. and every single minions movie — ok, some of them are better than others and some make more sense than others — but it is to do with the minions set pieces, they make me smile and laugh. i know so many people who go, i cannot believe how much you like minions, i have socks, the t—shirt. do you? yeah. you're easy for christmas! they make me laugh. and right now who doesn't want to be able to just go to the cinema and smile?
6:26 am
yes. there are some downsides, there are some bits of the film in which other things are happening, bits of plot going on and bits of other things i'm not really interested in. doesn't matter because soon enough we'll get back to the little yellow kids knocking into each other and doing the babbling funny voices. i just find minion slapstick funny. and as was demonstrated, so did you — out of absolutely nowhere. idid! the clip of, kevin, kevin... somebody only has to go up to me and go... "button" and i start laughing. i am sure they are things wrong with it, i don't care about any of them. brilliant, brilliant, i'm going out to see it tonight! we all lead a laugh, you're quite right. so very different, tigers, which was the swedish entry at the 94th academy awards, it is inspired by the true life memoir of martin big storm, played by alfred enoch, who finds himself in a hostile environment that is necessarily competitive and being a pro footballer is all he has ever dreamt of,
6:27 am
but the strains that come with it and his youth are just too much to bear and when he starts to crack the industry into which he has been inducted just has no interest in dealing with it, so on one hand they are very interested in his physicalfitness and making sure that's fine, but when it comes to anything to do with mental health, he is basically left on his own. this is directed by ronnie sandahl, who wrote the tennis drama, bob versus mcenroe and clearly understands the psychology of sports. and for me this is really a portrait of a young man struggling with mental health issues that are not being paid any attention to by anyone else and it is engrossing and what i know about football wouldn't fill the back of a postage stamp, but it isn't about football, it's about coming of age and mental
6:28 am
health issues. yes, and that is why i'm so interested to see it because i am like you on the football front, but it almost wouldn't matter, it seems to me, from what i know which sport it is about, it is about the pressure he's under at a young age, and no—one looking out for him or taking responsibility for that. yes, and the environment he is in necessarily turns everyone in the house they are living in against each other because they are all competing for a place on the team, so it is an absolute dog eat dog world and that is the point of entry for me, not the sport, it doesn't matter what the sport is, it is the way in which a mental health is just left to deal with itself. we are worried about your cars or all the rest of it, but not the other stuff. i thought it was really interesting. really interesting, and ties in again with your first choice. it does, and it ties in with nitram, this is played by caleb landry jones, who won an oscar. this is a clearly disturbed a school kid. he's giving fireworks to schoolkids.
6:29 am
his dad says, "you can't do that" — his parents can't control him and then his path crosses with a wealthy woman played by davis, who is fantastic, who takes him in, buy some clothes and a car and connecting they appear to be having a relationship together, something his mother, played byjudy davis, is not entirely happy about. here's a clip. something sweet i know he will like. goodness, you know a lot about my son. what exactly is going on here? sorry, i don't know what you mean. he mows your lawn, you buy him a car, he does it again, he moves in with you. what is next, marriage? he needed a car. he doesn't have a licence. i didn't know that. yes, well, i guess you don't know everything. so great performances. yes and up until this point, it is really like a belated
6:30 am
coming—of—age drama about a young man with problems. and then what happens is he finds himself isolated again, he finds himself with money, and he turns to guns. and there is a terrifying scene in which he walks into a gun shop and basically buys a whole load of extremely high power weapons that are sold to him like this is completely normal. and what the film is really about is that. it's about that more than it is about his issues. the writer, shaun grant, started working on it when he was in america in the wake of a couple of terrible shootings, and his mind went back to the 1996 port arthur massacre in australia, which was a lone—shooter massacre, and he said he wanted to write a film "which will make the audience, especially those pro—gun, to sit with a character who clearly should not have access to firearms and watch as they are so easily granted to him." and i think, obviously the film caused a lot of controversy because it is talking
6:31 am
about a subject that is still in fairly recent history, but i think what is really important about it is it's a film about somebody with personal problems and those personal problems then become a national tragedy because into the equation you throw... yes. you throw the accessibility of lethal weapons and i thought that scene... i mean, i know you have seen the film as well, and i hope you felt the same way i did, that scene is terrifying. yes, and that scene really stuck with me and i thought the tempo of the film was very good because the scene in the gun shop is fairly late on, by which time you have formed a very strong picture of a man with enormous problems... yes. and myjaw was on the ground, saying, they are going to ask for a license now, you are going to have a note from a doctor or something, and he walked out with fast rapid weapons and... it is horrifying, absolutely horrifying. there is a moment on the kind gun shops is, you have got a license? and he says no, and he says, that is ok, we can... that is jaw dropping. that point, that is what the writer wanted to do, he wanted to get
6:32 am
an audience of and show them a character who clearly was not someone who should own weapons and show them how easy it was, that is the point of the film. i do think it has other things as well, the characters are sturdy, but that was the point i took away, i found it very disturbing, but i also felt it did give the film a reason to revisit a story that was obviously very shocking and still very recent history. yes, it is upsetting, but there are a well made and... and you believe in the characters, you really believe in the characters. yes, very impressive. so, best out, elvis. yes, i am really sad i haven't seen it yet, i'm generally very sad about that, to top my list. here's why you should see elvis. yes, i thought you might have some pointers. it's brilliant, it is absolutely brilliant. it's baz luhrmann, it has all the musical madness of moulin rouge, the what all of it
6:33 am
craziness of australia, the reverence of the great gatsby, the shakespearean tragedy of romeo and juliet, the story of elvis as played by tom hanks and... austin butler, austin butler is particularly amazing as presley, lots of people have said it is all flash, but nonsense, it is a film that actually understand the subject, gets under the skin of its object and does so in a way that is kinetic and vibrant. if you have no interest in elvis at all, you can watch this and go, wow, that is a whirlwind ride through rock and roll life! but if you do know about elvis, and i do, i was obsessed since being a child, and i was terrified i would sit there and go, no, that is wrong... but the liberties it takes a perfectlyjustified. like when you do the 1968 comeback special. i know tom parker wasn't actually arguing about whether they should have snowmen when elvis was actually wearing black leather, it doesn't
6:34 am
matter, it works. and i think it has depth, contrary to what many critics have said aboutjust being surface, it isn't and i think if you love elvis you will love this, and if you had even never been interested in elvis you will be dazzled by this. i really want you to go and see this and i really want you to like it. i will let you know. i do like baz luhrmann, so i have high hopes. that is half the battle because it is very much a film by baz luhrmann. away from baz, a quick word about the railway children. yes, the railway children is back in cinemas, this is lioneljeffries original, back in cinemas on sunday the 3rd ofjuly. jeffries was a genius director, he made this, he made the amazing mr blunden, two of the greatest kids films ever made, petticoats turn into flags, "daddy, my daddy..." i mean, even thinking about that just sends me a quiver, it is such a great piece of work and i think lioneljeffries is a fantastic film—maker, see it on a big—screen! fantastic. what a week! join us next week, if you possibly can, enjoy your going.
6:35 am

minaur, the australian. he played an excellent match to beat jack draper, but brady will go into the much full of confidence after his five set victory over the 12th seed, diego schwartzman. away from wimbledon now. there was a gripping opening day to the final test match between england and india at edgbaston. the match was rearranged from last year due to covid. after putting them in to bat, england reduced india to 98/5 before a century from rishabh pant salvaged the tourists' innings. he was out for 146. india will resume this morning 338/7. our sports correspondent andy swiss was watching. some nine months after it was meant to happen, at last. england's series decider against india had to be postponed last september because of covid, but finally the visitors were back and they clearly meant business. an early flurry of boundaries from shubman gill as india began rightly. but since they

6:41 am
was a stunning century. in a match that had been delayed for so long, the innings was certainly worth the wait. andy swiss, bbc news. after a rain interrupted first practice for the british grand prix, the sun came out at silverstone for the second, with ferrari's carlos sainz quickest — and some encouragement for lewis hamilton after a difficult season. he was second fastest in his mercedes, ahead of mclaren's lando norris. championship leader max verstappen was fourth quickest with more rain forecast third practice and qualifying could get interesting. with more rain forecast for today, on and off, we don't know where it is going to fall, it could get interesting. but it should be dry tomorrow, i understand. liverpool striker mo salah has commited his future to the club for another three years. he was entering the final year of his contract, but has now signed a deal that will keep him at anfield until 2025. he said it was a happy day for everyone. salah has won three premier league golden boots in five years, helping liverpool to a domestic

lovely and wimbledon, doesn't it? yes, lovely sunny skies. the chance of a shower in the evening but we should get away with it today. looking splendid. let's take a look at what was on the earlier this morning as i left for work at three o'clock. let me show you these. if you are up early or up late at this time of year you can get cvs very rare clouds. our are called noctilucent clouds. they are the highest clouds in the atmosphere, about 60 kilometres, 40 miles an hour... 40 miles an hour! 40 miles up hour... 40 miles an hour! 40 miles up in the sky. they are made of dust and ice particles from ex— meteors, even volcanic dust as well. you only see them during the summer months, just as the sun is below the horizon, reflecting off at stop but it is something where if you are one of the early risers there, you can look at but over the coming days and we, that is how it looks with those clear skies around. this weekend is
6:45 am
very much a case of showers back in the forecast, and a bit of a cool breeze to go with it. the breezes coming in from the western direction of the atlantic, bringing in these weather fronts at the moment, this is where there are more showers and outbreaks of rain focus, especially across the north of scotland, where that will place through the day. it is in southern scotland at the moment, heavy burst of rain here, stretching down through northern england, east wales, towards devon and cornwall. wishing south and east through the day. it will hit edgbaston, perhaps bringing delays to the start of the cricket, perhaps some rain in silverstone as well for qualifying later. east anglia and the south—east will stay dry today, showers not with you until the evening. and even though you start cloudy and went across some areas of scotland, western england and wales, that will brighten up the sunshine and showers later, a showery day in northern ireland, cloud persisting with the rain across northern scotland. a bit of a breeze further south. out of the sunshine and in the breeze, it feels a bit cool in
6:46 am
july, pleasant enough when the sun is on your back stop the showers will be hit and miss before they clear, further rain at times in the north of scotland, a few more showers pushing into the west after a drier spell, most of that will go into sunday on a drier note with temperatures between nine and 12 degrees. a bright enough start to sunday, probably brighterfor degrees. a bright enough start to sunday, probably brighter for many today, the best of sunshine across eastern england. showers across western areas to begin with will develop more widely and push east through the day. western areas will actually turn drier into the afternoon with fewer showers around, but because they are scattered, big gaps in between, many of you will spend the day either dry or largely dry, withjust a spend the day either dry or largely dry, with just a few interruptions to the day, and temperatures not far off today's alleys, but with slightly lighter winds it might feel a touch warmer out there. that scene is terrifying. not whether through much of the week and around the top of it we will see cloud mildred's way in. for the
6:47 am
northern half of the country, expect a lot of cloud at times, some rain or drizzle around western coasts and hills. you'll said at times in sheffield, as you will see. but further to the south and east, not only breaks of cloud with sunshine but it will turn warmer. temperatures in some southern counties by end of week to the mid—20s. s0 counties by end of week to the mid-20s. counties by end of week to the mid-20s— counties by end of week to the mid-20s. . . ., , mid-20s. so the best time to see these... usually _ mid-20s. so the best time to see these... usually a _ mid-20s. so the best time to see these. .. usually a few— mid-20s. so the best time to see these... usually a few hours i mid-20s. so the best time to see i these... usually a few hours before sunrise and — these... usually a few hours before sunrise and sunset _ these... usually a few hours before sunrise and sunset as _ these... usually a few hours before sunrise and sunset as well. - these... usually a few hours before i sunrise and sunset as well. midnight and three o'clock in the morning, that would be the best time. that is bedtime. thank _ that would be the best time. that is bedtime. thank you. _ that would be the best time. that is bedtime. thank you. thank - that would be the best time. that is bedtime. thank you. thank you i that would be the best time. that is | bedtime. thank you. thank you very much. see you later.— much. see you later. beautiful clouds, much. see you later. beautiful clouds. you — much. see you later. beautiful clouds, you know. _ much. see you later. beautiful clouds, you know. absolutely. | much. see you later. beautiful. clouds, you know. absolutely. it much. see you later. beautiful- clouds, you know. absolutely. it is time now for the technology news with click.
6:48 am
a giant redwood, the largest tree on earth. and this one's been laser scanned with lidar technology, capturing a sense of the endangered species so viewers don't have to physically visit california's sequoia national park to be inspired. it's beautiful, beautiful. this digital art exhibition at london's barbican centre aims to get more people thinking about the interconnectedness of humans and nature, the materials we use in day—to—day design, and how to build cities that are fit for the future.
6:49 am
at a time of extreme climate crisis, we've got to consider all of these things if we're going to avoid an apocalyptic fate. the digital technology we have can create a sense of awe, a sense of wonder and sense of playfulness, but ultimately it can ignite hope and ignite a sense of courage to enact change. what are we doing here? so, this is essentially us dissipating into particles. we're looking at our identity through the lens of fluid ecology. immersive media that transports us in size and place, let us play games with the elements, and see our surroundings differently is not only a joy to experience but could help us rethink a world in which sustainability must come first. i'm also here to meet the man behind some of apple's most iconic devices. first though, paul carter's been to the netherlands to look
6:50 am
at a new way to try make sure these things don't keep piling up in the back of your drawer. it's estimated the amount of e—waste generated last year was over 57 million tonnes, and that figure is set to increase year—on—year. although phone recycling is on the rise, the majority of handsets still end up in a landfill. traditional methods of recycling phones generally involves shredding them in industrial machines and then sifting them to remove the precious metals or reusable material but apple, who produced over 200 million iphones last year, has devised a modern way of recovering materials and they let me in to have a look. here in a secret location in the netherlands, apple has created daisy, this robot behind me.
6:51 am
it takes the process of recycling these things to a whole new level. let's give it a go. daisy can completely deconstruct an entire iphone from start to finish in under one minute. the product travels through four modules. the first step separates the display from the iphone. what's happening behind me is the removal of the batteries, and to do that it's using really cold air, —70 celsius, to actually stop the adhesive from working so the battery can be taken out. it's pretty cool. afterwards, the screws are taken out before all the different components are separated by the machine. all individual bits and pieces land here to then be sorted bya human. most modern smartphones contain as many as 30 elements and rare earth materials, including cobalt, tungsten, gold and tin. and the world economic forum has warned that some elements may be completely depleted in 100 years.

apple claims that new methods of recycling phones like daisy could help recover more of these metals from end—of—life phones, and that its products contain more recycled materials than ever before. rare earth elements and metals require extensive mining with considerable environmental, social and political impact. our goal is to make all of our products using only recyclable or renewable material. daisy is helping us with that. she can do 23 models of iphone, she can do 2.4 million units per year, and all of that means more material going back around a circular supply chain, so ultimately we can end our reliance on mining. but it's notjust about recovering the materials but crucially getting them back at a purity where they can be used again. the brute force traditional methods of recycling can degrade the recovered materials or miss them entirely, meaning they can end up in landfill causing pollution and environmental damage. perhaps though the most sustainable solution of all would be reducing
6:53 am
the volume of e—waste we create in the first place. now here in the uk, conservationists are also seeking to protect the earth and the joy of living things on it. london zoo's best known for protecting endangered animals. there are over 750 different species here. i think you might be able to hear one of them behind me. but today i'm taking a leafier approach. i'm going to sow some seeds with my smartphone. this is the eiwaz tree of life app. your mission — to plant a virtual tree. ok, so i need to find a big space, that hits sorted. scan your surroundings, and digital branches unfold in augmented reality. oh, wow! there's a tree, a big tree! and a series of mini games plays out. oh, now it's on fire! all to unlock your very
6:54 am
own digital seed. it's drifting to the ground. "tap to grow." you can design and snap pictures of your own creations, too. oh, i can change the colour of my tree! but this isn't just for fun, the app also tells you where in the world a real tree is going to be planted on your behalf, giving impact and carbon information. martine, tell me about the technical process behind the ar app. eiwaz tree of life was essentially made by drone, 3d scanning, and an ash tree. and we put it through the processing software, photogrammetry, and then that essentially takes the 2d photographs and makes it into a 3d asset. add in that some virtual sculpting and game play developed on unity, and you get an exciting, interactive experiment. the essence of this is that i want to empower people. i want them to feel that they're part of the solution
6:55 am
and part of a greater movement in a battle for nature. martine has sourced donations to grow 200,000 trees. 140,000 of these will be earthed in the philippines, which has lost 15% of its mangroves. so mangroves are biodiversity�*s superstars, they provide nursery grounds for local species, they are vital stocks for fisheries and income for communities. they protect coastlines from damaging floods and storm surges, and they also lock vast amounts of carbon into the ground. replenishing this kind of natural resource is vital, even if trees aren't cute or fluffy! people are engaging more and more with the climate crisis, in particular, and looking to restore whole ecosystems and that's where really our focus is. the project won't fix climate change overnight but it was certainly fun getting my digital fingers green. that looks less like a real tree.
6:56 am
or whatever colours i fancied. i'm at the barbican in london to meet tony for fadell, the co—creator of one of apple's biggest icons which has recently been decommissioned after 20 years. can we have a moment of silence please for the ipod? this is your baby. it is. how do you feel about it? oh, it's obviously sad to see an old friend go but at the end of the day, technology marches on. without the ipod, the modern—day apple wouldn't exist, and i don't think the iphone would have ever existed if the ipod didn't. was there any consideration for the green credentials with these devices — the disposability, the renewability of these things — was that on the table back then? no, it wasn't entirely considered by any means. of course it wasn'tjust, "go trash things," at the same time, it's different now. do you think we have reached a turning point now where companies are more aware and in fact it might be good
6:57 am
to market something that can last a few years? what we should be seeing is more subscription—based devices, and you get a new version of the device when the company thinks you need it. maybe it's the right thing to do for the environment and maybe for the customer as well. what's the next big idea? i think when we look at our existential problems on this planet, there are so many ideas that need to be brought to life, something like the hydrogen economy. we can use hydrogen to make all kinds of materials and make them much more climate—friendly, and actually for business they are better for business, you can make more money. agriculture, materials, transportation — we should be using all of the technology to revolutionise those, some of the biggest polluters of the planet. now all we have to do is convince big oil. but for his part, fadell heads a fund that's made dozens of climate investments, although he is notjust focused on this world. virtual reality 7 discuss. you can make shoes,
6:58 am
you can furniture, homes, what have you. it's the first way to truly break the 2d barrier to 3d. so fadell is backing virtual collaboration, though the metaverse at large? it doesn't quite have him commenced. some people are trying to trap us in these kinds of headsets. it's a place where you're going to go socialise, where we're going to dance. we're all going to turn into cartoon characters. we'll never even see each other�*s eyes. is that a problem we really need to solve? i don't think so. lets park zuckerberg's vision for a moment then and ask tony instead about apple's biggest visionary. steve moved the whole smartphone industry. yes, i would like to order 4000 lattes to go please. no, just kidding! the thing about steve was he never projected himself as a real expert of any one thing. so there was humility there, it wasn't just about, "i know everything and i'm right," all the time? oh, absolutely not. he had strong opinions
6:59 am
but sometimes they were weakly held if brought in data or other things to show him that there was a different way. what a send—off to the ipod, and some great ideas from tony there, but that's all we have got time for in the short version of the programme. the full—length show can be found on iplayer, and we'll be back the same time next week. thanks for watching, bye—bye.

7:01 am
after the death of the charity fundraiser. russian state media says two british men, dylan healey and andrew hill, have been charged with "mercenary activities" in eastern ukraine. a parliamentary watchdog is to examine claims of sexual misconduct by the mp chris pincher, who's been suspended from the conservative party the brits continue to shine at wimbledon. cameron norrie secured his first fourth round appearance at a grand slam, with heather watsonjoining him after a stunning victory. # welcome to the other side! adele, performing herfirst public concert in five years, leaves her sell—out crowd at london's hyde park delighted. the performance was amazing, it was

7:03 am
dame deborah died on tuesday. her tireless campaigning has had a remarkable impact. this morning, nhs england has revealed a tenfold increase in traffic to their webpages about bowel cancer, up from an average of 2,000 a day to more than 23,000 on wednesday, the day after dame deborah died. deborah did the unthinkable, in getting people to talk about bowel cancer and encouraging people not to be embarrassed or prudish. so deborah was just an extraordinary spirit, full of courage and determination, to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, because generally if you detect cancer early, the chances of cure are much greater. in a statement, the health secretary for england, sajid javid, said:
7:04 am
deb is sat next to me in a poo costume. are you going to wear that for the whole podcast? well, the problem is, because it's designed for a 6—year—old, i can't really breathe in it. deborah's last words, posted on instagram, were "check your poo, it mightjust save your life." today shows the impact her words are already having, and the countless lives that will be saved as a result. graham satchell, bbc news. russian state media is reporting that two british men have been charged with what it describes as "mercenary activities" by moscow—backed separatists in eastern ukraine. dylan healy is said to have been helping as a volunteer aid worker when he was taken prisoner in april. russia says andrew hill, from plymouth, surrendered to their forces in the same month. the foreign office says it condemns the exploitation of prisoners of war and civilians for political purposes. dominik byrne is from the non—profit group presidium network, which works on the ground
7:05 am
with communities in war zones. thank you very much for your time this morning. i want to —— i wonder first of all what you know about the situation of these two men? goad situation of these two men? good mornin: , situation of these two men? good morning. and _ situation of these two men? good morning, and great _ situation of these two men? good morning, and great to _ situation of these two men? good morning, and great to be - situation of these two men? good morning, and great to be on i situation of these two men? (limp. morning, and great to be on again. so, what we know so far is pretty much what the media has been reporting, but they have been paraded around on what we would call bogus charges, without any evidence, and also not really applying to international law on prisoners within conflict zones, and really ignoring the main evidence that that has been put out into the media and given to the british government. this situation is, at the moment, they are being charged with mercenary connections and being
7:06 am
mercenary connections and being mercenary is on the ground. we know that definitely, dylan healey was nothing to do the military, no to the ukraine military or any of the foreign lesions, he was there as a volunteer helping evacuations. so the charges of being a mercenary are absolutely irrelevant. i don't know too much about the hill case, we have not worked on that directly, and we have not talked on the family so i don't really want to talk too much about that. the situation is that it really seems russia is trying to intensify negotiations or going against uk citizens especially that they capture, to make sure that the british government is waking up to the fact that these people, they believe, or, sorry, putting pressure on the british government and the british people to kind of stop supporting ukraine, which i know is not going to happen. but it is a
7:07 am
very horrible situation for the two guys. they will not be in very good conditions in terms of being interrogated constantly, threatened, and we do know that, especially dylan healy and hill are looking up sentences of death, unfortunately, which we have seen in the past not come to that, it comes into negotiations more than anything, but this is a terrible situation which is against international law, once again, russia is showing tyranny against british citizens for no reason. . . w' against british citizens for no reason. . . a i. against british citizens for no reason. . . n' y ., ~ against british citizens for no reason. . . ,. ~ ,. reason. can i ask you, i think you referenced _ reason. can i ask you, i think you referenced a _ reason. can i ask you, i think you referenced a second _ reason. can i ask you, i think you referenced a second ago - reason. can i ask you, i think you referenced a second ago some i reason. can i ask you, i think you i referenced a second ago some contact with one of the families, is it dylan healy�*s family have had contact with? dylan healy's family have had contact with?— dylan healy's family have had contact with?- i - dylan healy's family have had contact with ?- i know i dylan healy's family have had contact with? yes. i know there are sensitivities — contact with? yes i know there are sensitivities around this, contact with? 19:3 i know there are sensitivities around this, but what can you tell us about your contact with them?— with them? so, we have regular contact when — with them? so, we have regular contact when there _ with them? so, we have regular contact when there are - with them? so, we have regular| contact when there are updates, with them? so, we have regular- contact when there are updates, they

seem very calm at the moment, they understand the process, they are trusting in the process, i do know they are having regular conversations with both the british government and the red cross, and the red cross has been really good at trying to monitor the situation the best they can, they are trying to get access to dylan at the moment to get access to dylan at the moment to make sure his welfare is ok and he is being treated ok, but of course they are very scared, they want their son home as quick as possible, and they are worried about the situation. you possible, and they are worried about the situation.— the situation. you used the phrase that they are _ the situation. you used the phrase that they are trusting _ the situation. you used the phrase that they are trusting in _ the situation. you used the phrase that they are trusting in the i that they are trusting in the process. what is your understanding of what happens from now, in terms of what happens from now, in terms of the process of what is actually going to happen next? basically, what has been _ going to happen next? basically, what has been happening, i going to happen next? basically, what has been happening, it i going to happen next? basically, what has been happening, it is i going to happen next? basically, i what has been happening, it is not even what is happening next, this is a process that has been going on for months, the british government will try to use their diplomatic channels within ukraine, but also trying to appeal to the russians to make sure
7:09 am
that these british prisoners are kept safe, ah well, are treated well, but also that the red cross themselves, and international agencies like this, which have a good track record of dealing with people in prisons, having contact within the russian side and will be trying to get access, the next big stages for the red cross to be able to go in and check on their welfare, check on the human rights of their conditions, and also of their case as an independent organisation. dominik burn from presidium network —— presidium network, thank you this morning. they have a lot of contact with these individuals and their families, just to reiterate that those reports of the charges are coming from a russian state media. so we are finding out a little bit
7:10 am
more about that story as we go through the morning this morning. a parliamentary watchdog will examine claims of sexual misconduct by the former conservative deputy chief whip chris pincher. he was suspended as a conservative mp following reports that he'd groped two men at a private members club in central london on wednesday night. he can continue to represent his constituency of tamworth, in staffordshire, as an independent. our reporter phil mccann is there. it is very interesting how this latest scandal involving a conservative mp is going to be received by constituents, because these other who elected them. absolutely, yes, the people still represented by the now independent mp for tamworth, chris pincher. when the bbc spoke to people here yesterday there was shock and incredulous nurse that, as you say, here we are again with another scandal involving a conservative mp,
7:11 am
another scandal of a sexual nature as well, we are two days now from the resignation of prince pinchot as deputy chief whip. it is worth reflecting on the fact that the team is very popular here, his party are very popular here, in the last election results chris pincher got 19,500 more votes than the labor party, there is tory heritage all around here, iam in the party, there is tory heritage all around here, i am in the shadow of sir robert peel, one of chris pincher�*s predecessors here as tory mp, the founder of modern british policing. as a constituency that is very rural, as well, with this market town right in the middle of it. but there is tension turning out to whether there might be a by—election, which will be entirely down to prince —— chris pincher, whether he decides to stand down. if he were to do so, the 19,500 majority here, it is worth reflecting on the fact that is smaller than the majority is the tories had in tiverton and honiton in devon and north shropshire, not too farfrom here, both in devon and north shropshire, not too far from here, both areas where there were by—elections after the last few months, which the
7:12 am
conservatives went on to lose. phil mccann in tamworth, thank you. a vigil will be held in east london today in memory of zara aleena, the 35—year—old solicitor who was killed while she walked home from a night out last weekend. zara's friends, family, and anyone who wishes to join the event will walk in silence along the same route which she took. meanwhile a 29—year—old man has been charged with her murder. adele played a huge gig in london's hyde park last night — her first public concert in five years. she told the audience of 65,000 fans that she was "so happy" to be back on stage. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba watched her in action. # hello, it's me # i was won... oh, i'm so happy to be here! an emotional adele playing at hyde park. # to go over... help me! her first full live show since 2017.
7:13 am
# they say that time's supposed to heal you # but i ain't done much healing # hello from the other side! and the first after leaving thousands of fans disappointed after postponing a las vegas residency. tonight's verdict? she's the best we've ever seen, absolutely outstanding. amazing. amazing, amazing. delighted, it was brilliant. and the set, just — she did everything you ever wanted to hear. the performance was amazing, it was great. yep, her first concert. she loved it, didn't you? loved it! but tonight has been more than just an evening of adele. it's been a day—long celebration of women in music, with an all—female lineup of supporting acts for one of the biggest musical events of the year. # when a woman wants her man from acts like gabrielle, whom adele adored growing up... # i'm telling you i got a master plan # you been on my mind for a while now
7:14 am
# trying to get you off # 'cause this ain't right now ..to a collection of new artists like mahalia, who was delighted to be part of such a symbolic lineup. i would say in the past a lot of festival lineups have been pretty much male—dominated, and i think we are seeing a shift. but i think we as women also have to be a part of the change, we have to put ourselves forward to do those bills, to do those lineups, and i think you can really see that we're all trying to put ourselves in everyone's faces. will it make a big difference, do you think? i hope so, i really do hope so. because there's a demand for it, there's women like myself who want to see other women on stage, and so many other people that want to see their favourite female acts as well. so hopefully it does, yeah. # tainted view of us it's an issue that has become more prominent in recent years... # trying! ..with many applauding what adele has done on her return to live performing after a long five years for her fans.
7:15 am
# we're both none the wiser # lizo mzimba, bbc news, hyde park. for fans who have been waiting five years for her because of cancellations, delighted. as you will be, because matters up now with the weather. hello. good morning. lovely picture. lovely picture. if there is rain today, good for the garden because it been dry. will the sunshine becoming?— sunshine becoming? there will be some sunshine. _ sunshine becoming? there will be some sunshine. a _ sunshine becoming? there will be some sunshine. a bit _ sunshine becoming? there will be some sunshine. a bit of— sunshine becoming? there will be| some sunshine. a bit of everything this weekend. good morning. a dry month across eastern parts of the uk in particular. a dry start for many, this here in east anglia. cloud is on its way later. this is more typical this morning. grey skies and
7:16 am
for some it is a wet start. it is due to low pressure close to our shores in these weather fronts which are focusing bands of showery rain, pushing into the south and east of the country throughout the day. this will linger across northern scotland, producing more persistent rain. heavy rain around at the moment. then a weather front with those of rain stretching from your chair to cornwall moving its way through the midlands, south—west england throughout the morning. it was not to push into the edges of east anglia and the second half of the afternoon. it will brighten up behind it. if you have grey skies you should see some sunshine come through. some showers. but they are only a small portion of the day. in the north of scotland there are the latest winds but still a lot of cloud and more on the way in terms of persistent rain to get us into the afternoon. temperatures for earlyjuly, a little on the lower side for this stage in the year. 14-16 in side for this stage in the year. 14—16 in northern scotland. heisser
7:17 am
in 20 eastern england. if you have the sun on your back it should be pleasant enough. this evening bring some showers to east anglia and the south—east. he did mist. there will clear through. south—east. he did mist. there will clearthrough. most south—east. he did mist. there will clear through. most places will become dry with some showers in the west into tomorrow morning with clear skies across eastern areas with temperatures down to six figures. tomorrow it looks like a little bit of sunshine in showers. back to you both. thank you. see you later on. we have seen industrial action or the prospect of it from various groups of workers recently. rail staff, airport workers, terminal barristers, and post office workers. the police are not legally allowed to strike but officers in scotland are coming as close to it as they can — by refusing to start shifts early or to work any extra hours without charging overtime. the so—called withdrawal of "goodwill" is in response to what the police federation calls a "derisory" pay increase offer of
7:18 am
£565 a year. aileen clarke reports. under way in the north of glasgow, police investigating after someone was found unwell by the road. just another day, another shift. but from five o'clock yesterday afternoon, police officers who cannot finish their shifts on time will claim overtime, instructed by their federation to claim every penny they're entitled to. even with pay talks now back on from monday, the federation is standing firm on this withdrawal of goodwill. the federation says officers are very dismayed by the current payoff of £565, around 1.4%. officers, they argue, have risen to the challenge of policing massive events like cop26 and working through the pandemic. they expect officers across scotland to support the action, but say it will not affect police operations. by law, they cannot take industrial action or refuse to work extra if it's needed. they will now, though, resolutely claim cash for it. the inspector of constabulary in scotland expects the chief constable will foot
7:19 am
the bill for such overtime in line with the regulations. the critical thing for me is, when you're looking at the proposals by the federation, is "does that harm public safety?" no, it doesn't. will it be more expensive for a period of time? potentially, but not significantly. but there'll be a bit of grit in the system for a while, while this action is being taken. shift changes at police stations are expected to be an example of that, as officers will no longer routinely arrive a little bit early and leave a little bit later to enable smooth handovers. and just hours after the action started, today sees a traditionally busy time for glasgow police, as it's the main day for orange order parades through the city, with thousands of marchers taking part and dozens of road closures in place. a spokesman for police scotland said they do recognise the considerable goodwill that officers bring to their role, and that they remain committed to finding a settlement
7:20 am
through the police negotiating board. likewise, the scottish police authority and the scottish government, who will be represented at those negotiations, say they await the outcome of the discussions. aileen clarke, bbc news, glasgow. we can speak now to david hamilton, chair this of the scottish police federation, who is in fife this morning. morning. thank you forjoining us. morning. thank you for 'oining us. what morning. thank you for 'oining us. what happens * morning. thank you for 'oining us. what happens now, i morning. thank you forjoining us. what happens now, today? - morning. thank you forjoining us. what happens now, today? well, | morning. thank you forjoining us. | what happens now, today? well, i think already _ what happens now, today? well, i think already we _ what happens now, today? well, i think already we have _ what happens now, today? well, i think already we have seen - what happens now, today? well, i think already we have seen that i what happens now, today? well, i i think already we have seen that that the shift change in the morning at seven o'clock would probably be the most impacted by the action. officers would not be turning up before seven o'clock and the night shift will have to stay on a little bit. inevitably that will incur overtime quite a number of offices. and at quite a cost for police scotland. the action continues just now but hopefully we can get into a
7:21 am
position next week where we are back at the negotiating table and we can find a resolution with some common sense going to negotiations. to be clear, sense going to negotiations. to be clear. when _ sense going to negotiations. to be clear. when you — sense going to negotiations. to be clear, when you say _ sense going to negotiations. to be clear, when you say they _ sense going to negotiations. to be clear, when you say they aren't i clear, when you say they aren't coming in until their shift times, they are ready to work, that is what has changed, is it? this they are ready to work, that is what has changed, is it?— has changed, is it? this is very much as your _ has changed, is it? this is very much as your report _ has changed, is it? this is very much as your report said i has changed, is it? this is very much as your report said we i has changed, is it? this is very i much as your report said we can take ——we can't take industrial action or withdraw our services, but we do have a lot of goodwill in the service and the service relies on a goodwill. some of that is expressed ljy goodwill. some of that is expressed by officers coming in earlier. most offices across the uk will come in half—an—hour or 45 minutes in advance in order to prepare and get themselves ready and hit the road at themselves ready and hit the road at the sight of their shift. and what we're seeing is that working straight to what you are employed to do, and that means you turn up ready to go at seven o'clock and the consequence of that is it will incur
7:22 am
additional cost for the service. i think is the inspector of the constabulary put it, it is good in the system. constabulary put it, it is good in the system-— constabulary put it, it is good in the system. you will be aware of strike action _ the system. you will be aware of strike action occurring _ the system. you will be aware of strike action occurring across i the system. you will be aware ofj strike action occurring across the uk in recent weeks and strike action which is proposed. you will also be aware of the attitude to strike action. there is sympathy for public service — public—sector workers who are feeling the pinch, as everyone is. there comes a line, though, doesn't there, where public sympathy changes if it is thought that they will be disproportionately affected. is the public still save? it is still safe — is the public still save? it is still safe and _ is the public still save? it is still safe and will— is the public still save? it is still safe and will always i is the public still save? it 3 still safe and will always be safe and one of the things that we are very clear about, in the design of this particular action, is to ensure public safety and safety of our colleagues throughout this period. this is the main reason we focused internally on how we operate behind the scenes. but it is having an
7:23 am
impact. again, nobody will see for a public perspective any significant change in terms of how things are working, but i can assure you that within the service there is significant pain being felt already by some of the action we are looking at. :. by some of the action we are looking at. ., :, by some of the action we are looking at. :, :, .. , :, by some of the action we are looking at. how long will it carry on for? well, hopefully, _ at. how long will it carry on for? well, hopefully, not— at. how long will it carry on for? well, hopefully, not long. i at. how long will it carry on for? well, hopefully, not long. we i at. how long will it carry on for? i well, hopefully, not long. we want to get into a position where we can have police officers recognised for the work which they do and which offsets it mitigates the cost of living which is the gulf between what we are facing financially and what we are facing financially and what we are facing financially and what we are facing in terms of the derisory pay offer of £560. that needs to be bridged. if we can get to a position where we can get a deal, that will be a good way to getting back to normal. iloathed deal, that will be a good way to getting back to normal.- deal, that will be a good way to getting back to normal. what is a deal getting back to normal. what is a deal, with inflation _ getting back to normal. what is a deal, with inflation expected i getting back to normal. what is a deal, with inflation expected to i deal, with inflation expected to rise much as 11% by the end of the

7:25 am
they are thrown everything at the recruitment process to rebuild. we're getting there but we're not there yet. and so perhaps you won't have the experience of 2019, that my priorities to get them on their way so they get to their holidays. let's try to get a clearer picture of what's going on. the traveljournalist simon calderjoins us. you have heard what some of the new boss of manchester airport has to say and what it looks like the next months. what is your take on that? interesting talking to bbc north—west tonight, chris woodruff, saying that effectively you will not have as good an experience this summer as you did in 2019, before the pandemic. simply the airport is overstretched. we have seen all four seeds at manchester airport. initially in—kind of april we saw long queues for the security search

area which is absolutely specifically matching the airport's responsibility. karen smart, the last managing director, stood down and then the may bank holiday we saw lots of problems. that was mostly holidaymakers suddenly having their flights cancelled. since then, at manchester, things have improved significantly. just looking at the operation today you have the usual suspects, british airways cancellations to heathrow however thatis cancellations to heathrow however that is entirely a result of british airways being overstretched at its main base in london. airfares to paris and through to amsterdam, where they are also having problems. more widely if you are travelling this weekend, good luck. gatwick airport is where they are looking for the most significant issue. but bearin for the most significant issue. but bear in mind the vast majority of people are going to get where they need to be. they might have a few delays. people coming in from roads,
7:27 am
from alitalia overnight, they will be watching this blearily because they were two or three hours late. your information is always up—to—date. when people listen to you and other experts at a hearing about proms at the various airports, using signs, yet, people literally saying i am worried about that airport, i will try this one instead. do you think people assigned to make those judgements, albeit, as you quite rightly point out, most people, most of the time, are getting away on time? i out, most people, most of the time, are getting away on time?— are getting away on time? i think the are. are getting away on time? i think they are- if _ are getting away on time? i think they are- if you — are getting away on time? i think they are. if you were _ are getting away on time? i think they are. if you were to - are getting away on time? i think they are. if you were to say i are getting away on time? i think they are. if you were to say howl they are. if you were to say how will you maximise your chance of your flight taking up, will you maximise your chance of yourflight taking up, i would say i probably wouldn't be going out of gatwick on easyjet or indeed from gatwick on easyjet or indeed from gatwick on easyjet or indeed from gatwick on british airways, whether they have cancelled three or four flights already this morning. easyjet writer to now was supposed to be going to malaga on a flight
7:28 am
leaving this second, and roma on british airways, cancelled at late notice, people told me yesterday, i understand, but those. gatwick is looking shaky, but that is not necessarily the fault of the airport. but it is the airline simply not having the resources in place. would you believe covid has come back to haunt us, as the bbc has been reporting, with lots more cases of covid, and that is hitting staff numbers, notjust in the uk, but looked tense and making loads of cancellations in germany to and from the uk because of their staff are calling in sick. i have a dozen flights, would you believe, over the summer. i'm pretty confident that those will go ahead. but crucially i know what my rights are if anything is cancelled and that is to get a replacement flight on the same day if there is anything available that will take me there at the airline's expense. and furthermore hotel accommodation if need be and
7:29 am
compensation if it is the airline's fault, which it is technical issues or staff shortage, it generally is. simon you have given us those wide to make wise words, and i've heard you say the many times. have you successfully done that thing with a flight was cancelled and you have just got on another airline's plane and you have either paid for it yourself forgot the airlines — have yourself forgot the airlines — have you done it yourself? has that work for you? i you done it yourself? has that work for ou? :. . you done it yourself? has that work for ou? . . for you? i have been in the happy osition for you? i have been in the happy position of— for you? i have been in the happy position of not _ for you? i have been in the happy position of not having _ for you? i have been in the happy position of not having had - for you? i have been in the happy position of not having had a i for you? i have been in the happy position of not having had a flight cancel. but my daughter went to amsterdam a couple of weeks ago on an outbound flight that was cancelled. she was moved onto another one, and inbound it was cancelled with nothing left for a couple of days coming back from the dutch capital. so ijust — she just came back by train and the claim is with easyjet. realistically, even though the law says that the airline
7:30 am
has to book the trip for you, they are not going to do that. so you need to make your own arrangements. 70 contacted me after a flight was cancelled from glasgow and said can i charter a privatejet for me cancelled from glasgow and said can i charter a private jet for me and my friends, and i said you can't, they won't pay that back. but there is an overnight sleeper train living in a couple of hours and you can catch that one and they will have to pay y°u catch that one and they will have to pay you back. is catch that one and they will have to pay you back-— pay you back. is really interesting. thank ou pay you back. is really interesting. thank you so _ pay you back. is really interesting. thank you so much. _ pay you back. is really interesting. thank you so much. we _ pay you back. is really interesting. thank you so much. we will i pay you back. is really interesting. thank you so much. we will speak| pay you back. is really interesting. i thank you so much. we will speak to you again soon. thank you. of course, not all of us are going abroad this year. you might be heading to the beautiful beaches of cornwall. if that's the case, you may well be sharing the sea with more octopuses than usual. divers and snorkellers have reported seeing a surge of the so—called common octopus, while one fisherman says he recently caught 150 in a single day. previously he'd catch just a couple every year. abby crosby from the cornwall wildlife trust joins us now.
7:31 am
before we get into the details of the octopus, coming something straight? you know what i'm going to say, the big discussion in the morning meeting, is it octopuses, octopi, octopods? morning meeting, is it octopuses, octopi. octopods?_ morning meeting, is it octopuses, octopi, octopods? well, octopuses is a lural in octopi, octopods? well, octopuses is a plural in itself, _ octopi, octopods? well, octopuses is a plural in itself, it— octopi, octopods? well, octopuses is a plural in itself, it is— octopi, octopods? well, octopuses is a plural in itself, it is one _ a plural in itself, it is one octopus or several octopus. but thank you for starting with a great question. really brings to life my skills. ~ . , question. really brings to life my skills. . . , . , skills. well, it really was the discussion _ skills. well, it really was the discussion this _ skills. well, it really was the discussion this morning. i skills. well, it really was the i discussion this morning. what is boosting the occurrence of octopus in these waters?— in these waters? well, you know, this is the — in these waters? well, you know, this is the question, _ in these waters? well, you know, this is the question, isn't - in these waters? well, you know, this is the question, isn't it? - in these waters? well, you know, this is the question, isn't it? it. this is the question, isn't it? it is a question we face in our marine environment, with so many events we see, and it is frustrating, but ultimately we don't fully know why these occurrences happen. you know, common octopus and other capital
7:32 am
pods, they have years in which population is booming, so it isn't uncommon or unheard of, but it isn't common. why it happens, we don't know. there has been research globally which has identified potential factors such as our impact on the food web of the ocean and the removal of natural predators of the species. there are also discussions around climate change and the fact that warm environments might help promote successful reproduction. ultimately there are so many factors in our marine and ocean processes which could impact us, which we don't really know. it demonstrates that ultimately we need to keep recording these occurrences, we need to keep gathering that data and information, so that we can understand our oceans better, so that we can ultimately manage our
7:33 am

7:34 am
named the common octopus, we generally only get one or two sizes a year, as a wildlife trust, through the recording scheme from the public stop and encourage people to send out —— send their records in so that we can monitor and map these species. they are very elusive, just because we don't see something does not mean it isn't out there stop they are intelligent, they will protect themselves, they had excellent camouflage, they can get themselves into tiny crevices and knocks and crannies, so they are out there but we don't get to see them. they are nocturnal, mainly active at night. here we have even snorkellers going out to the cornish coastline and spotting several on one dive, which is unheard of, it is making us all very excited in the office and trying to get away from our computers. trying to get away from our computers— trying to get away from our computers. trying to get away from our comuters. ., , .,, ., ., , trying to get away from our comuters. ., , .,, , ., computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of ou. computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of yom lovely — computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of yom lovely to _ computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of you. lovely to chat _ computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of you. lovely to chat to _ computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of you. lovely to chat to you _ computers. your enthusiasm oozes out of you. lovely to chat to you this - of you. lovely to chat to you this morning, thank you very much. thank ou. morning, thank you very much. thank yom imagine — morning, thank you very much. thank you. imagine snorkelling _ morning, thank you very much. thank you. imagine snorkelling and - morning, thank you very much. thank you. imagine snorkelling and then, i you. imagine snorkelling and then, when ou you. imagine snorkelling and then, when you are _ you. imagine snorkelling and then, when you are not _ you. imagine snorkelling and then,

7:36 am
said, i do something else. but she kept going and now she has her chance here today on court number two to reach the fourth round of wimbledon. she could become the third brit into the fourth round, the covers are off, it is an early start here so that is why the court is already ready. they start at 11 o'clock, just over three hours from now she will walk out to try to make a bit of history. i am sure she will be inspired by two other players who have had their problems over the years with injuries, they can going, and heather watson and cameron norrie through to the fourth rounds of the first time in a grand slam career. it began on court number one with heather watson. she was fantastic, she didn'tjust get through, she was so convincing in a straight sets victory. watson, who opened the day's play on court number one, played some of her best tennis as she won the match 7—6, 6—2. the british player paid tribute to the crowd and atmophere for helping her through. i have made it to the fourth round for the first time and what it means
7:37 am
to do it here on home turf and at wimbledon, for me, the most special tournament in the world, so it meant so much to get over the line at the end and i was really proud of myself and grateful for end and i was really proud of myself and gratefulfor all end and i was really proud of myself and grateful for all the support out there. british men's number one cameron norrie is also into a grand slam fourth round for the first time. he cruised past the american steve johnson in straight sets. norrie was always in charge and in a dominant performance on centre court he won the first two sets 6—4, 6—1. the third set was a something of a formality as he won it 6—0. norrie now faces another american, 30th seed tommy paul, who knocked out the czech player jiri vesely, also in straight sets. it feels really good, obviously, to do it here, especially here at wimbledon, here at home. first time in the second week of a grand slam and i couldn't be happier, especially with all my friends and family watching me. it is definitely good timing that they are here watching. i definitely enjoyed that
7:38 am
match, a little bit less stressful than my squad today than the other day. 6—time champion novak djokovic recorded a 35th straight win on wimbledon�*s centre court as he beat miomir kecmanovic in straight sets. in the absense of daniil medvedev and alexander zverev, the 35—year—old is top seed at this year's championships third seed ons jabeur needed just one hour and eight minutes to reach the last 16 in a dominant 6—2, 6—3 performance against diane parry. the 27—year—old, who is yet to drop a set at this year's tournament, will face 24th seed elise mertens for a place in the quarterfinals. britain's katie boulter is in action later against harmony tan, who knocked out 6—time champion serena williams. if she wins that match, she willjoin compatriot heather watson in the last 16 and the second week of a slam for the first time. liam broady is first up on court one against alex de minaur. the australian de played an excellent match to beat
7:39 am
jack draper but broady will go into the match full of confidence after his 5—set victory over 12th seed diego schwartzman. a gripping opening day to the final test match between england and india at edgbaston, with the touring side recovering from a poor start to just about claim the upper hand. this match was rearranged from last year due to covid, and after putting india into bat, james anderson and matthew potts impressed to reduce india to 98 for 5. but wicketkeeper rishabh pant dazzled with some aggressive and unorthodox strokeplay to seize back control for india, before eventually departing for 146.
7:40 am
but ravindra jadeja has stayed put to play his part in the innings and he's 83 not out, with the tourists 338 for 7 at close. india lead the series 2—1. this year's tour de france got underway in copenhagen, and ahead of it police confirmed that 14 locations across 6 countries were searched as they investigate possible doping offences in cycling. 2018 champion geraint thomas didn't make the start he was hoping for. the ineos grenadiers riderforgot to take off his jacket for the time trial. he later discarded it, but still finished way down the standings. belgium's yves lampaert was fastest. after a rain interrupted first practice for the british grand prix, the sun came out at silverstone for the second with ferrari's carlos sainz quickest and some encouragement for lewis hamilton after a difficult season. he was second fastest in his mercedes, ahead of mclaren�*s lando norris. championship leader max verstappen
7:41 am
was fourth quickest with more rain forecast third practice and qualifying could get interesting. well, hamilton might not have hit his usual heights in a car that's struggled a little this year, but his young teammate george russell is learning the ropes — and has been consistent — finishing in the top five at every race this season. he's been speaking to natalie pirks. tell us about silverstone. what is it like as a british driver to race there? , ., ., ., , , , there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the — there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, _ there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, i _ there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, i think. - there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, i think. it - there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, i think. it has l race of the season, i think. it has got it all at silverstone. personally i can't wait to get there, and ijust kind of wish that i could have experienced it from the found perspective, buti i could have experienced it from the found perspective, but i remember last year, going to the race

7:45 am
have no interest in fighting for fifth position, through the very different stages of our career. this is nothing more to prove. he has proven everything. even for myself, joining mercedes, the sort of philosophy here is, you are not here to be tested, you are here because they believe in you. obviously i want to prove what i'm capable of to the world, but that is not my main focus. i am the world, but that is not my main focus. iam here the world, but that is not my main focus. i am here because i love the sport, i love the fight, to chase after victories, and i want to be standing on the top of the podium. what a revelation he has been the season. fantastic chap there. if that wasn't enough, used a rugby union internationals cuts off on the other side of the world, ireland against new zealand, just after eight o'clock. then it is australia versus england. this afternoon south

7:50 am
after two years' absence. devotees have been able to enjoy hours of coverage of both across the bbc and many references on its news outlets. it's been a rather disappointing day for british tennis on centre court at wimbledon with a defeat for andy murray against the americanjohn isner. and emma raducanu was outplayed by france's caroline garcia. 200,000 people are here in this city that springs up from the somerset countryside. but for three long years, the cows have had this place to themselves. 2, 3, 4! now, all sorts have been marching into worthy farm. both events have resulted in some disruption of the normal television schedules, and some doubted whether they deserved the slots they were given on news bulletins, with terry pearson addressing the bbc�*s director—general as follows:
7:51 am
meanwhile, it's clear that this anonymous caller to our phone line is not a glastonbury fan. for goodness sake, every time i put the telly on, there's this rubbishy lot of stuff about glastonbury. it's not news! you've got loads of programmes about it, it's all through the news. it looks like an absolute hellhole with a lot of people that can't string two words together, they can't string two musical notes together. it's awful! we don't want to know it. thank you so much. get it off! we discussed last week the use of language around asylum, and terminology is an equally delicate issue in regards to abortion, which has of course been prominent in the news since last friday's decision by the us supreme court that overturned the roe versus wade ruling, which made abortion legal across the us, and on saturday morning on radio 4's today programme, amol rajan was discussing the subject
7:52 am
with bbc north america editor sarah smith. and as you say, sarah, for the pro—life groups, for the pro—life coalition who've been campaigning for this for many, many years, since roe v wade, actually, they're very ambitious, aren't they? there's still a lot more that they want to achieve. the phrase "pro—life" is a controversial one and its usage there was criticised by women's organisations with kerry abel, chair of the group abortion rights asking: the term recommended for use by bbcjournalists is actually neither of those, but rather, anti—abortion, as in this report from sarah smith last friday. as they hear the news from the court, there's jubilation from anti—abortionists. i've won today! but anti—abortion or anti—abortionists is not
7:53 am
a popular description among those on the other side of this impassioned debate. the conservative mp peter bohn told a radio station this week that he was disappointed the bbc are using anti—abortion rather than pro—life. clearly a fraught subject, and a bbc spokesperson had this to say: now, as of friday, you may have noticed that you're no longer able to watch this or any other programme in high definition on the bbc news channel via freeview. that's because of a reduction in freeview�*s broadcast capacity, and the bbc has advised viewers that if they want to watch the news channel in hd, they'll have to do so on the iplayer. but that doesn't satisfy paul hetherington. here's a video he recorded for us. so, i've recently started getting pop—ups from the bbc on the news channel,
7:54 am
telling me that bbc news hd is soon being removed to be replaced byjust standard definition, although i can watch it on the iplayer if i wish in high definition. this does seem a retrograde step to me. so to get my hd news, i will need to go into the apps, open bbc iplayer, find the news channel, select 'live news', wait for a while for it to load up, assuming i've got internet speed fast enough, and then get my news a couple of minutes after everybody else. imagine if this were a sports channel and the world cup winning goal had just been scored, and you found out about it two minutes after the rest of the world. by the way, i'm filming this in hd on my phone, but of course, if you're watching it on the bbc, you won't be able to watch it in hd unless of course you're watching it on iplayer.
7:55 am
those in charge of the bbc often speak about impartiality being one of the corporation's chief qualities. but the perception has grown recently that it's not fulfilling its remit in this regard. when he took up his post in 2020, director—general tim davies spoke of the need to restore trust in the bbc�*s impartiality. last month, culture secretary nadine dorries launched a review into the subject, and last week, the regulator ofcom published its own review, which found that audiences rate the bbc less favourably for impartiality than they do for truth and accuracy. on friday, the director—general told staff it was making progress on its impartiality plan, but newswatch viewers have expressed their own concerns with john hquones writing: and last weekend, janet
7:56 am
fillingham objected to coverage of the decision on abortion in the united states: ofcom also said too many people lacked confidence in the bbc�*s complaints process and that it needed improvement, and again, that's something we've also heard from members of the audience such as james mayes. we were told no—one from the bbc was available to discuss those issues this week, but i am joined by the former bbc executive, mark damazer, whose roles included deputy director of bbc news and controller of radio 4. mark, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. this debate feels as old as the hills. does the bbc really have a problem with impartiality? well, there is if you want perfection, because i don't think the bbc, given the volume
7:57 am
of its output on any given day, can claim to be 100% successful on impartial even on a given date, never mind across a year. but if you take a more practical view of it, which is measure the bbc�*s impartiality record or the accuracy and trustworthiness of its journalism against the sheer volume of its output and then look at the size of the mistakes it makes, and the number of mistakes it makes, i would contend that, overall, the bbc does an extremely good and effective job at being a trustworthy and impartial broadcaster, and in doing that, serves british democracy extraordinarily well. it's fair to say we are living in a much more polarised — politically polarised time, and the news media landscape has changed with much more commentator—led coverage on talk radio and tv, and i wonder, aren't people just wanting the bbc to represent their points of view on issues? so, i think that is acute and is the key point, which is the extent to which people recognise that the bbc is not there to make their own personal
7:58 am
world view feel reinforced or better, and the bbc is not there to attack, deride or belittle your opponent, and the bbc does something completely different, which is to present a big range of views and to have them effectively both reflected and challenged by qualified journalists and presenters who know their business. and you don't end up — you're not supposed to end up with a warm, cuddly feeling inside that the bbc has endorsed your view. many people think impartiality means equal time, and we heard a viewer there complaining about needing a stopwatch to measure abortion coverage. is that the right way to measure it? no, and it's an important point. the technical term for this, both through the bbc and ofcom and other public service broadcasters in the uk, is 'due impartiality�*, and what due impartiality means is precisely is not equal time, and the bbc should not be giving equal time to people who believe that there is no such thing as global warming as opposed to people
7:59 am
who believe that there is such a thing called global warming, and the reason for that is because there is a body of factual evidence which makes it clear that giving somebody equal time on that is giving equal time to a nonsense. and do you think that social media has changed both the way people think about impartiality and also the way bbc polices it? that's absolutely right in each of the respects that you mention. and, first of all, the pressure on all broadcasters — i mean, the bbc is the biggest, and so feels the most pressure, but i don't exempt others others from feeling this pressure too. if you make a mistake or even if you don't make a mistake and you broadcast something that a social media group doesn't like, the multiplier effect of spreading that around can be corrosive. i mean, sometimes i dare say can be helpful because it corrects an error made on screen, but very often, what's generating the social media outcry is simple disagreement with something that you've heard or seen
8:00 am
because itjust doesn't correspond with your view and take on the issue. ofcom also criticised the bbc�*s system of handling complaints. what can be done to improve that? yeah, so, i mean, ithink ofcom has a point, and some of this is going to be administrative and institutional, and it's just about the resources that you put in and the number of people you have and the training that you give them to make sure that they can handle better, more quickly and more deftly the volume of complaints — and there are a lot that come in — there are a lot because the bbc is a big beast. but some of it is psychological and anthropological. the extent to which the bbc feels inhibited, i think, too often from thinking out aloud about how it's made particularjudgements, and very often — and i say this both as somebody who made these decisions and then somebody who had to judge them when i was on the governing body — there are a whole number of factors and you try to weigh up what the right answer is, and i don't think it's an embarrassment to say it's a finely balanced decision, and this is what we've decided in the way that gives the complainant and the wider public some assurance that the bbc has considered all
8:01 am
the factors, even if you don't in agree with the conclusion. mark damazer, thank you. it's a pleasure. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail: or you can find us on twitter: you can call us: and do have a look at previous interviews on our website: that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: dame deborah's legacy — the nhs says it's seen ten times as many people search online for bowel cancer symptoms, after the death of the charity fundraiser. russian state media

it. didn't you? loved it. _ a mix of sunshine and showers this afternoon but could things be turning warmer next week? i will have the details later. it's saturday the 2nd ofjuly. there's been a huge rise in the number of people checking bowel cancer symptoms on the nhs website, following the death of dame deborah james. visits to the website jumped from 2,000 on tuesday to 23,000 on wednesday. dame deborah had been living with the illness since 2016, and worked tirelessly to raise awareness of its symptoms — and reduce the embarrassment of discussing them. graham satchell reports. dame deborahjames dressed up as a poo to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. in posts on social media she took people through the common signs. again and again, she urged anyone who had worries never to be embarrassed and to see their gp. dame deborah died on tuesday. her tireless campaigning has had
8:04 am
a remarkable impact. this morning nhs england has revealed a tenfold increase in traffic to their web pages about bowel cancer, up from an average of 2000 a day to more than 23,000 on wednesday, the day after dame deborah died. deborah did the unthinkable in getting people to talk about bowel cancer and encouraging people not to be embarrassed or prudish. so deborah was just an extraordinary spirit, full of courage and determination to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. because generally, if you detect cancer early, the chances of cure are much greater. in a statement, the health secretary for england, sajid javid, said, deb is sat next to me in a poo costume. are you going to wear that for the whole podcast? well, the problem is because it's designed for six year—old,
8:05 am
i can't really breathe in it. deborah's final words posted on instagram were, "check your to — it mightjust save your life." today's figures show the impact her words are already having and the countless lives that will be saved as a result. graeme satchell, bbc news. russian state media is reporting that two british men have been charged with what it describes as "mercenary activities" by moscow—backed separatists in eastern ukraine. andrew hill, from plymouth, is believed to have been caught while fighting with ukrainian forces in april. dylan healy is said to have been helping as a volunteer aid worker when he was taken prisoner in the same month. earlier we spoke to dominik byrne in kyiv. he's from the presidium network humanitarian aid agency, which works on the ground with communities in war zones — and he's been in contact with dylan's family. they with dylan's family. seem very calm at the momen
8:06 am
and they seem very calm at the moment and come to understand the process, are trusting in the process. i know they are having regular conversations with both the british government and the red cross. the red cross has been very good at trying to monitor the situation as best they can. but they are actually trying to get access to dylan at the moment to make sure his welfare is ok and being treated ok. of course, they are very scared, they want their son home as quickly as possible. they are worried about the situation. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. we are getting a little information about what has happened but initially these reports have come from russian state media about the charges, what picture is emerging? this has come from the news agency in moscow, backed by the kremlin. in general, there are reports of what is going on inside the donyatt sk people's republic have borne out in
8:07 am
the long run. what we understand about this process is the two men, andrew hill, he was captured and was fighting with ukrainian forces. dylan healy was going as an aid worker on a humanitarian mission, we understand. he was captured in the process. both men are said to be charged with being mercenaries. the reason that is particularly concerning is the last time people were charged with that offence favour to british men, sean penn and aidan azlan and a moroccan man. they were found guilty after a short trial, they pleaded guilty, and they received the death penalty. that is the concern, these two men could be facing a similar fate to those of the three. the small glimmer of hope, i guess, this could be part of a negotiating tactic. it has been suggested what the kremlin are trying to do, by putting them in
8:08 am
this terrible position, is increase their value in some sort of prisoner swap and that could be the small glimmer of hope for their families. thank you very much. a parliamentary watchdog will examine claims of sexual misconduct by the former conservative deputy chief whip chris pincher. he was suspended as a conservative mp following reports that he'd groped two men at a private members club in central london on wednesday night. he can continue to represent his constituency of tamworth, in staffordshire, as an independent. our reporter phil mccann is there. good morning. this will be about what the constituents make of this and having chris pincher still represent them?— and having chris pincher still represent them? and having chris pincher still re - resent them? ., , represent them? indeed, i have 'ust been speaking fl represent them? indeed, i have 'ust been speaking to �* represent them? indeed, i have 'ust been speaking to one i represent them? indeed, i have 'ust been speaking to one of i represent them? indeed, i have 'ust been speaking to one of those i been speaking to one of those constituents, a gentleman who voted for chris pincher, who said the allegations against him are disgraceful. i asked would he be voting conservative again? he said it depends who the candidate is. he clearly wanted chris pincher to

stand out. this is a seat steeped in conservative heritage and as the market town wakes up this morning and we are stood in the shadow of one of chris pincher�*s predecessors, sir robert peel, the conservatives and mr pincher have been popular in the past. but people here, i suppose quite incredulous that here we are again with another scandal involving again with another scandal involving a conservative mp, after three over the last few months, two were of a sexual nature and attention is turning to whether there will be a by—election here, which will depend on whether mr pincher wants to stand down. it is worth reflecting that his majority, 19,500 would be considered large and safe, but it is less than the majority is the conservatives have enjoyed in the last two by—elections which they lost. last two by-elections which they lost. ., ..

8:13 am
james who died this week about cancer. as we've been hearing, one direct result of her death has been a ten—fold increase in visits to the nhs website's section on bowel cancer. professor peterjohnson is clinical director of the nhs cancer programme — we can speak to him now. good morning to you, really good to talk to you and in the light of such tragic events and the sad and terrible loss of dame deborahjames, some good has come out of it and this is what she was all about, to make sure people spoke about literally flood in their poo. you have to feel — literally flood in their poo. you have to feel for— literally flood in their poo. you have to feel for her— literally flood in their poo. yarn. have to feel for her family and all who knew her, but what a fantastic legacy to get people talking about and thinking about their bowels, which is something we don't do, traditionally and people have found it difficult. but we have 43,000
8:14 am
people a year in the uk get bowel cancer, so 43,000 people who have to think about their bowels. the important thing is, if we can catch it early, people have a very good chance of being cured. but if they leave their symptoms, it is too late ljy leave their symptoms, it is too late by the time we find them, it is more difficult. it is an important legacy to have left. ii difficult. it is an important legacy to have left-— to have left. if someone is concerned. _ to have left. if someone is concerned, what _ to have left. if someone is concerned, what do i to have left. if someone is concerned, what do they l to have left. if someone is i concerned, what do they search to have left. if someone is - concerned, what do they search for, what do they find in terms of information and pointers as to where to go next on the nhs website? the thins we to go next on the nhs website? tue: things we want people to to go next on the nhs website? tue things we want people to look out for is blood in their poo, a change in their bowel habits. most people know what is normal for them and changes, we want to know about it. or if they get bloating and pain in the stomach. it is on the nhs website if you want to look those things up. if you are worried, go and see your doctor because we really do want to see people, although the nhs has huge pressure
8:15 am
from covid and suchlike, nonetheless, we are there for people and we want people to come forward. we have lots of things we can do, we have a fantastic test for picking up blood in the poo in small quantities and that will tell us who needs further investigations. professor, i am not sure _ further investigations. professor, i am not sure what _ further investigations. professor, i am not sure what we _ further investigations. professor, i am not sure what we can - further investigations. professor, i am not sure what we can compare| further investigations. professor, i i am not sure what we can compare this jump am not sure what we can compare this jump in interest, you know, people searching things out and checking themselves. have you got anything to compare, of your time in health care at a moment in time when attention has been focused may be because of an individual, but is it sustainable? that is what deborah would have wanted, but is there anything we can compare this to? invite anything we can compare this to? we did anything we can compare this to? e did see similar things when sarah harding sadly died of breast cancer before christmas. we had a huge increase in people getting themselves checked for breast lumps. and stephen fry talked about his
8:16 am
prostate cancer diagnosis, people went to get the prostates checked. and going further back, jade goody, who got cervical cancer and that produced a big jump in people getting their smear test. it is very helpful for people who are well known and recognisable coming forward and talking about this. it is extraordinary that someone like deborah, who put all that energy and vitality into her diagnosis and here we are at eight o'clock on a saturday morning, sitting here talking about poo, it is a remarkable achievement. he said the most important thing is, people go to the trouble of asking themselves this question is, checking that the care is there. we hear so much, this is the stuff you will about about concerns financing in the nhs and whether funds are available. are you confident that as and when people need the help, if there are problems
8:17 am
with their health, they can get it? that the services up and running and working properly? absolutely, cancer has been a priority for the nhs since its very first began. there is more money going in, particularly to diagnostic services, things like ct scans, x—rays and ultrasounds and endoscopy, the flexible telescopes we used to look inside people's bowels. billions of pounds going on over the next few years to make sure we are expanding the facilities we have got and make sure we can cope with this demand. as our population gets older, we will see more and more people with cancer. now we are up more people with cancer. now we are up to around one in two risk of any others getting cancer, so it is important the nhs is ready for that. i was just important the nhs is ready for that. i wasjust going important the nhs is ready for that. i was just going to say, so many questions about this. what is the demographic you think is hardest to reach? often we hear in health care, certain groups of people who take care over themselves and ask those
8:18 am
questions and then other groups that, on the whole, just don't. who are the ones you find hardest reach? it generally goes with how well off you are. what we see is in places where people have had a lot of advantages in life, i've had money growing up and so forth, they are generally very good at finding their way into health care. it is where people are struggling to make ends meet, struggling to make a living, struggling to find a job, those are the areas of the country we need to get to people. that is why a lot of the work we are doing now is focused on the people who find it hardest to access health care, find different ways to reach them. for example, we have a programme looking for lung cancer at the moment, we have mobile scanner units going out to places where people live, rather than the hospitals. targeted health checks to see if we can pick up lung cancer at an earlier stage by inviting people to have a scan close to where they

8:20 am
about cancer because it is a frightening subject, but we can do something and we don't want people dying of embarrassment, we want people to come forward and tell us about their poo, tell us about how their body is and if it is not right, we can look into it. professor, good to talk to you this morning. in the light of the circumstances, it is wonderful we are able to talk about something that i change the number of people coming forward, so i appreciate your time this morning. and those numbers, it was a ten fold increase, it went from 2000 people accessing the bowel cancer website on the nhs, 2000 on tuesday, 223,000 the following day. just because people are starting to think. it is good. on the line there, don't die of embarrassment. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. lots to be cheerful about, one of them being that lovely picture behind you?
8:21 am
yes, it is how we are starting the day in east anglia. but make the most of it, grey skies on the way and there could be one or two showers. already got them at the moment in cornwall, across devon and parts of the uk. various weather fronts just working their way southwards and eastwards bringing a grey start to saturday for many. this bit here will linger across northern scotland throughout, this cold front is on the move. it has been producing rain so far across parts of northern england, east wales and the south—west. it is moving towards the midlands. it is starting to fragment a little bit more so turning or showery. some of you may get through the day dry and even as that zone of technical approaches to the midlands and the direction of east anglia into the evening. things will brighten up, sunny spells and a few showers into the second half of the day. showers are slow moving so it means many people will avoid them. cloud in

northern scotland and it will produce further rain and drizzle at times. the winds will be like to hear. more breeze further south we go. once the rain is with you, the breeze will make it feel cool. 16 to 19 degrees for most. down on what we normally have at this stage injuly. the sunshine last longest towards east anglia and the south—east. one or two showers around, many staying dry. furthershowers or two showers around, many staying dry. further showers in northern scotland throughout the night but most becoming dry for a time and then showers develop out towards the west later. tomorrow morning, we stop the day ten or 12 degrees for most, maybe one or two rural parts down into single figures. sunshine ever had to start for many, which are warm things up nicely. winds later in the north of scotland on the far south—west. a you showers dotted around with cloud around. showers will push eastwards and develop more into the afternoon. eastern air is most prone to showers, western areas and fewer

showers, western areas and fewer showers but most will be dry. many will get through the bulk of the day dry, if not completely dry for some. temperatures up a tiny bit on the values of the day, and it may feel warmer as well. into next week, high pressure starts to build its way in across the country. it is going to be in across the country. it is going to be a north—west, south—east split. belfast and edinburgh, drizzle at times along the western coast and hills. south east, cardiff and london, more in the way of club brakes, better chance of sunshine and it will start to feel warmer. overall, compared to the week gone it will be quieter and a little bit dry and certainly much quieter, let me take you to canada and it all looks fairly benign, watch this zone of cloud and a lucky escape for hire car. just notice how this massive water spout develop. it was one of three tornadoes and waterspouts that

8:43 am
an early flurry of boundaries from shubman gill as india began brightly. but since they last met, england have refound theirform. jimmy anderson combining with zak crawley to remove first gill and then cheteshwar pujara, as the hosts set about grabbing the initiative. a rain delay briefly stalled their progress, but not their momentum. one of england's new stars, matt potts, trapping hanuma vihari, before snaring the biggest scalp of all — the great virat kohli gone for just 11. india's hopes were in disarray. by the time that sam billings' brilliance accounted for shreyas iyer, they were 98/5 and england seemed in control. but in rishabh pant, india have one of cricket's most destructive batters, and he led the fightback in his usual blistering style. suddenly england's bowlers were being put to the sword in ever more inventive ways, as pant, together with ravi jadeja, piled on the runs.
8:44 am
it was thrilling stuff, and pant�*s award was a stunning century. in a match that had been delayed for so long, an innings certainly worth the wait. andy swiss, bbc news. after rain interrupted first practice for the british grand prix, the sun came out at silverstone for the second, with ferrari's carlos sainz quickest and some encouragement for lewis hamilton after a difficult season. he was second fastest in his mercedes, ahead of mclaren's lando norris. championship leader max verstappen was fourth quickest. with more rain forecast, third practice and qualifying could get interesting. this year's tour de france got underway in copenhagen, and ahead of it, police confirmed that 14 locations across six countries were searched as they investigate possible doping offences in cycling. 2018 champion geraint thomas didn't make the start he was hoping for.

the ineos grenadiers riderforgot to take off his jacket for the time trial. he later discarded it, but still finished way down the standings. belgium's yves lampaert was fastest. england have won the under—i9 european championships. they needed extra time to see off israel 3—1 in the final in slovakia, aston villa's aaron ramsey scored the final goal five minutes from time. it's the second time in five years the young lions have won the euros. really good record, potentialfor england in the future. also a great day for derby county, league i club finally out of administration, a night of celebrations for them. back here at wimbledon, the usual scene, saturday morning, the grass being cut, lines being touched up, the

absolutely outstanding. amazing. amazing, amazing. delighted, it was brilliant. and the set, just — she did everything you ever wanted to hear. the performance was amazing, it was great. yep, her first concert. she loved it, didn't you? loved it! but tonight has been more than just an evening of adele. it's been a day—long celebration of women in music, with an all—female lineup of supporting acts for one of the biggest musical events of the year. # when a woman wants her man. from acts like gabrielle, whom adele adored growing up... # i'm telling you i got a master plan # you been on my mind for a while now # trying to get you off. # cos this ain't right now ..to a collection of new artists like mahalia, who was delighted to be part of such a symbolic line—up. i would say in the past a lot of festival line—ups have been pretty much male—dominated, and i think we are seeing a shift. but i think we as women also have to be a part of the change,
8:49 am
we have to put ourselves forward to do those bills, to do those lineups, and i think you can really see that we're all trying to put ourselves in everyone's faces. will it make a big difference, do you think? i hope so, i really do hope so. because there's a demand for it, there's women like myself who want to see other women on stage, and so many other people that want to see their favourite female acts as well. so hopefully it does, yeah. # tainted view of us. it's an issue that has become more prominent in recent years... # trying! ..with many applauding what adele has done on her return to live performing after a long five years for her fans. # we're both none the wiser. lizo mzimba, bbc news, hyde park. we're joined now by adele superfan — and impersonator — katie markham, who

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: dame deborah's legacy — the nhs says it's seen ten times as many people search online for bowel cancer symptoms, after the death of the charity fundraiser. russian state media says two british men, dylan healey and andrew hill, have been charged with "mercenary activities" in eastern ukraine. a parliamentary watchdog is to examine claims of sexual misconduct by the mp chris pincher, who's been suspended from the conservative party. the brits continue to shine at wimbledon.s later this morning it's the turn

of katie boulter — she's on number 2 court at 11:00am. the end of an era — radio 2 dj steve wright announces he's leaving his afternoon show after more than 20 years. sometimes people want you, sometimes they don't. sometimes they make changes and you get another offer. i understand that, i really understand that. the weather remains the mix of sunshine and showers this weekend. a cool breeze, but could things be turning warmer next week? i will have all the details here. it's saturday the 2nd ofjuly. our main story. there's been a huge rise in the number of people checking bowel cancer symptoms on the nhs website, following the death of dame deborah james. visits to the website jumped from 2,000 on tuesday to 23,000 on wednesday. dame deborah had been living with the illness since 2016, and worked tirelessly to raise awareness of its symptoms —
9:02 am
and reduce the embarrassment of discussing them. graham satchell reports. dame deborahjames dressed up as a poo to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. in posts on social media she took people through the common signs. again and again, she urged anyone who had worries never to be embarrassed and to see their gp. dame deborah died on tuesday. her tireless campaigning has had a remarkable impact. this morning nhs england has revealed a tenfold increase in traffic to their web pages about bowel cancer, up from an average of 2000 a day to more than 23,000 on wednesday, the day after dame deborah died. deborah did the unthinkable in getting people to talk about bowel cancer and encouraging people not to be embarrassed or prudish. so deborah was just an extraordinary spirit, full of courage and determination to raise awareness about the importance of early detection.
9:03 am
because generally, if you detect cancer early, the chances of cure are much greater. in a statement, the health secretary for england, sajid javid, said, deb is sat next to me in a poo costume. are you going to wear that for the whole podcast? well, the problem is because it's designed for six year—old, - i can't really breathe in it. deborah's final words posted on instagram were, "check your to — it mightjust save your life." today's figures show the impact her words are already having and the countless lives that will be saved as a result. graeme satchell, bbc news. russian state media is reporting that two british men have been charged with what it describes as "mercenary activities" by moscow—backed separatists in eastern ukraine. andrew hill, from plymouth, is believed to have been caught
9:04 am
while fighting with ukrainian forces in april. dylan healy is said to have been helping as a volunteer aid worker when he was taken prisoner in the same month. earlier we spoke to dominik byrne in kyiv — he's from the humanitarian aid agency the presidium network, which works on the ground with communities in war zones, and he's been in contact with dylan's family. they seem very calm at the moment and come to understand the process, are trusting in the process. i know they are having regular conversations with both the british government and the red cross. the red cross has been very good at trying to monitor the situation as best they can. they are actually trying to get access to dylan at the moment to make sure his welfare is ok and being treated 0k. of course, they are very scared, they want their son home as quickly as possible. they are worried about the situation.
9:05 am
our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. joe, what more can you tell us about these men? they us about these men? were both captured in very different they were both captured in very different circumstances. andrew hill was fighting with the ukrainian forces, he is a former soldier and the last time he was seen, it was in a video that was released by the russians. he had his arm bandaged, his head bandaged and did not look in a good way. dylan healy is very different, he was captured on what we understand as a humanitarian mission with another man. but the two men are now facing the same fate. we understand from russia's news agency that they will be tried as mercenaries, by an unrecognised state, by an unrecognised court. but this is very worrying for their families. no doubt the reason being, two british men and a moroccan have
9:06 am
already gone through the same process, tried as mercenaries, convicted of terrorism offences and sentenced to death. that sentence has not been carried out and they are appealing. there is some hope that this whole process, which is being orchestrated by the kremlin, rather than being a fair, legal process it is an unpleasant negotiating tactic. what they're trying to do by putting these men's lives in mortal danger, increasing their value as hostages in any negotiation and prisoner swap. that will be the hope these families will be able to hold onto. joe. will be the hope these families will be able to hold onto.— will be the hope these families will be able to hold onto. joe, thank you very much- — a parliamentary watchdog will examine claims of sexual misconduct by the former conservative deputy chief whip chris pincher. he was suspended as a conservative mp following reports that he'd groped two men at a private members club in central london on wednesday night. he can continue to represent his constituency of tamworth, in staffordshire, as an independent. our reporter phil mccann is there.
9:07 am
phil, what will people there make of this? this is a constituency which is steeped in conservative heritage. we are at the foot of the statue of sir robert peel, the conservative mp for this area, who founded the modern british policing service. the market in this market town has opened up and there are plenty of people about. we have been speaking to some of them this morning who are very clear about what they thought of chris pincher and the allegations against him. i chris pincher and the allegations against him-— against him. i think it is disgraceful _ against him. i think it is disgraceful and - against him. i think it is disgraceful and it - against him. i think it is disgraceful and it is - against him. i think it is| disgraceful and it is now against him. i think it is- disgraceful and it is now time he left _ disgraceful and it is now time he left. ~ g disgraceful and it is now time he left. ~ his disgraceful and it is now time he left.- his actions _ disgraceful and it is now time he left.- his actions are - disgraceful and it is now time he left.- his actions are not i left. why? his actions are not acceptable — left. why? his actions are not acceptable as _ left. why? his actions are not acceptable as the _ left. why? his actions are not acceptable as the leader - left. why? his actions are not acceptable as the leader to i left. why? his actions are not l acceptable as the leader to lead left. ii his actions are not acceptable as the leader to lead us. i will still_ acceptable as the leader to lead us. i will still vote tory, but i am unsure — i will still vote tory, but i am unsure about _ i will still vote tory, but i am unsure about chris _ i will still vote tory, but i am unsure about chris pincher, i i will still vote tory, but i am i unsure about chris pincher, but i will still vote tory, but i am - unsure about chris pincher, but i will still— unsure about chris pincher, but i will still vote _ unsure about chris pincher, but i will still vote tory, _ unsure about chris pincher, but i

that the conservative enjoyed in north shropshire and devon, which they went on to lose.— north shropshire and devon, which they went on to lose. thank you very much. a vigil will be held in east london today in memory of zara aleena — the 35—year—old solicitor who was killed while she walked home from a night out last weekend. zara's friends, family and anyone who wishes to join the event, will walk in silence along the same route which she took. meanwhile a 29—year—old man has been charged with her murder. police officers in scotland are protesting against what they call a "derisory" pay offer — by refusing to start shifts early or to work any extra hours without charging overtime. they're not allowed to strike but the so—called withdrawal of "goodwill" is in response to a pay increase offer of £565 a year, which they have rejected. the scottish police federation says there will be no risk to public safety because of the action. this is focused internally as to how
9:10 am
the police operate behind—the—scenes. it is having an impact. nobody will see, from a public perspective, any significant change in terms of how things are working. but i can assure you, within the service there is significant pain being felt already by some of the actions we are looking at. the new boss of manchester airport has warned passengers not to expect a normal service this summer. like other uk airports, manchester has seen flight cancellations and long delays in processing travellers since covid restrictions were lifted. the new managing director admits there could be more frustrating times for passengers this summer. what i have seen at manchester airport is the enormous efforts. they have thrown everything at the recruitment process to rebuild, and we are getting there. but we're not there yet. and so passengers won't have the sort of experience they had in 2019 this summer, but my priority is to get them on their way so they actually get to have those holidays. the rail company greater anglia is advising passengers not to travel
9:11 am
on its services today — because of a strike by train drivers. members of the aslef union are walking out for 2h hours in a dispute over pay. greater anglia says the majority of its trains will not run today — and some services will also be affected tomorrow. here's matt with a look at the weather. what is going on there? i thought i would quickly show you, what i managed to capture as i left the house at three o'clock this morning. the house at three o'clock this morninu. , , ., , the house at three o'clock this morninu. , , . , ., the house at three o'clock this morninu. , ,. , ., .., morning. this is a very rare cloud and some — morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of— morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of you _ morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of you may _ morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of you may be - morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of you may be able - morning. this is a very rare cloud and some of you may be able to l morning. this is a very rare cloud i and some of you may be able to see over the clear nights over the next couple of months, these are the highest cloud in the atmosphere and they are a0 miles up. they have a ghostly, shimmery silver appearance. these were captured in great yarmouth and they are made up of
9:12 am
dust from exel cannock eruptions and meteors, combined with ice crystals. it is only during the summer months you get to see them and usually an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise is the best time to look. but keep an eye out if you have clear skies. there will be clear skies around the times, as today, bringing sunshine. but the showery theme across the country and some of theme across the country and some of the showers will be heavy and it does feel a touch on the cool side. most of the linked into these weather fronts which are tracking southwards and eastwards across the country. this one will linger in northern scotland throughout the day and is producing persistent rain through the highlands and islands. heavy showers elsewhere to scotland, a lying to parts of northern england, the midlands and down towards the bristol channel. that is a weather front which will work towards east anglia and the south—east. sunny start here and clouding over into the afternoon. you may see some showers but it will be late into the afternoon and evening. the showers will push across silverstone and if few
9:13 am
interruptions at edgbaston and could be in wimbledon for the evening. once the band has gone through, plenty of sunshine around for many. shower clouds will brew up, but only for a small portion of the day. breezy further south and it will feel cool in the cloudy moments and around 15 to 19 degrees for the vast majority. overnight, though showers pushing to east anglia and the south—east. not everyone will see them. the showers were clear but some will continue across scotland and one or two into the west later on. temperatures on sunday morning, around nine to 12 celsius. similar to this morning. it is a date which more of you will stay dry, some showers around in the west to begin with and they will track eastwards, so some of the heavy ones in the afternoon will be in the eastern districts, western air is turning drier and brighter once again. because there has—been gaps between the showers tomorrow morning, some will stay completely dry throughout. the winds are light so it will feel warmer than it does this afternoon,
9:14 am
with more of you staying dry. next week, high pressure in the mid—atlantic starts to build towards us. it is a slow process and because we are on the edge of it, they will be cloud around the northern flank and that will put into scotland and northern ireland. the outlook for the northern half of the nation next week will be lots of cloud, drizzle around western coasts and hills. if few breaks east of high ground but it is the further south and east you are having longer spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud and it will start to feel warmer. temperatures across southern areas into the 20s by the end the week. back to you both. i'm sure that has increased over the morning, the temperatures. nope, still the same, i promise. if you promise, i believe you. thank you. covid infections are on the rise again, with the latest data suggesting
9:15 am
they're up by about a third in the uk. that's according to the office of national statistics — which estimates that around 2.3 million people had coronavirus last week. it's estimated that one in 30 people in england and wales had covid. in scotland that number is thought to be one in 18 and in northern ireland it's one in 25. fast—spreading sub—variants of omicron called ba—a and ba—5, are likely to be driving some of the new infections. however, the number of people in hospital with covid is still far less than the record high of more than 3a,000 injanuary 2021 — the most recent data suggests around 10,000 people are in hospital with the virus — but some are there because of other health issues. we're joined now by dr chris smith and professor linda bauld — who have been here to answer our questions throughout the pandemic. the fundamental question when people
9:16 am
are hearing this about the rising number of cases, should we be worried? , ., ., ., ., worried? there is a lot of fatigue about hearing — worried? there is a lot of fatigue about hearing about _ worried? there is a lot of fatigue about hearing about covid. - worried? there is a lot of fatigue about hearing about covid. we . worried? there is a lot of fatigue i about hearing about covid. we have had high levels from the springtime. we are not at the levels we were in mid—march, we had one in 11, one of 15 in different parts of the uk effective. we went down a bit, now we have gone back up again. people expected in the summer we might have lower levels of infection but we're not seeing those seasonal patterns. should we be worried? let's start with things we be worried about, hospital admissions were about 500 per day at the beginning ofjune and they have tripled in terms of daily admissions since then and that is putting the nhs under strain and the people who were there because of covid have to be treated differently from other patients. that is something we are watching carefully because we don't want those rates to
9:17 am
go much higher. but the number of people requiring intensive care in hospital is really quite low. as you were saying, overall the number of people in hospital is nowhere near what it was earlier in the pandemic. i think things will settle down, thatis i think things will settle down, that is what we have seen in portugal. the main concern at the moment is the sheer disruption of having lots of people off work, including in the nhs. let's hope we get to this really bumpy patch. fin get to this really bumpy patch. on the basis of what you were saying, a lot of people will remember clearly, we used to do these figures linked to how quickly things can change. literally week on week, if you have a certain rise one week, it is inevitable the next week it increases exponentially. just relate that to this? we increases exponentially. just relate that to this?— increases exponentially. just relate that to this? ~ ., ., that to this? we are not in the same territory of — that to this? we are not in the same territory of that _ that to this? we are not in the same territory of that again. _ that to this? we are not in the same territory of that again. the _ that to this? we are not in the same territory of that again. the first - territory of that again. the first reason for that is a lot of people have had the virus recently and it will run out of people to infect,
9:18 am
although we see a lot of reinfection from earlier on. we're not seeing the exponential growth at the level he the exponential growth at the level be there before. the thing that is really putting a cap on next potential for hospital admissions and intensive care units is the vaccines are still working. for people over 75 and those are immunosuppressed, the vast majority of them have had a booster recently. we will not see the same explosive growth. the final point, is looking ahead and recognising that it is likely that this will probably burn itself out and then we will worry about future waves of infection. we said every two to three months. we need to think about a booster programme in the autumn and different types of vaccines which are being developed, vaccines that can cover a variety of coronaviruses. we are seeing some interesting and early news about that and are targeted to a micron. we shouldn't panic, but i think we

9:24 am
risks are still less than outdoors. but people are sharing cars and public transport, using facilities and going indoors to get refreshments, whatever. you are still indoor some of the time. we saw with the euros for policy, we had some outbreaks linked to that and also some people need to remember and the most important bit of advice i would give, making sure you follow hand and respiratory hygiene and recognising the virus hasn't gone away, if you have any symptoms, you should not be going to these events, you could be passing it on. even though a third of people are asymptomatic, people are getting some nasty symptoms. stay at home and don't go to that event. the same advice applies in relation to monkeypox, which is something we have been talking about, the risk is lower and infecting a small proportion of people compared to things like covid, but the advice is clear, if you have any lesions or symptoms do not go to these events.
9:25 am
people can be responsible about that and the vaccine message, for anyone who is still... some of these older people would be going to these events, 16% of the over 75 is you haven't had their booster yet. let's look forward to it and let's be sensible. ., look forward to it and let's be sensible. . ., ., sensible. linda, he will not have esca ed, sensible. linda, he will not have escaped. and — sensible. linda, he will not have escaped, and rightly— sensible. linda, he will not have escaped, and rightly no - sensible. linda, he will not have escaped, and rightly no one - sensible. linda, he will not have i escaped, and rightly no one should have, the coverage we have on the bbc and the sad news that dame debra james died, but it was obviously a passionate campaigner by making people aware of bowel cancer symptoms. in your role as professor of public health, i imagine there is something that is more valuable than people with a profile and determination to use that to make people listen?— people listen? that is right. it is absolutely _ people listen? that is right. it is absolutely brilliant _ people listen? that is right. it is absolutely brilliant what - people listen? that is right. it is absolutely brilliant what dame l absolutely brilliant what dame deborah has done, notjust the £7 million she has raised four vital cancer research, but her awareness of symptoms. you have been reporting

on the 12% increase in women coming forward for cervical screening wench a goodly sadly lost her life in 2009. angelina jolie with a rare form of risk potentially for breast cancer in 2013 and referrals for breast cancer increased significantly and now dame deborah. and the film she had of the symptoms where you spell out bowel and you can look a change in your bow, where you spell out bowel and you can look a change in your how, you can look a change in your how, you can have blood in your poo and unexplained weight loss. this information is vital, let's remember the legacy dame deborah has left and we have amazing screening programmes in the uk. one in two of us will develop cancer in our lifetime if we are born after 1960. checking for symptoms, taking up screening makes a big difference. symptoms, taking up screening makes a big difference-— a big difference. chris, do you want to ick u- a big difference. chris, do you want to pick up on _ a big difference. chris, do you want to pick up on that? _ a big difference. chris, do you want to pick up on that? it _ a big difference. chris, do you want to pick up on that? it might - a big difference. chris, do you want to pick up on that? it might be - to pick up on that? it might be slightly out of your area, but the principal are people paying

9:43 am
then, the french star knocking out serena williams, this especial, the players practice courts, having to keep my voice down because behind me we have katie boulter warming up, because her match starts at 11am, she going through the motions with her team, and she going through the motions with herteam, and on she going through the motions with her team, and on the other core, like a scene from a local tennis court, the far end retrieving the ball, that is indeed harmony tan we did knock serena williams out for on tuesday. it will be a very difficult opponent for katie boulter, just been speaking to french tv about her, they fancy her chances. katie built a has a great chance as he warms up, just a few yards away. she has got a great chance to reach the fourth round. to show the world how she has come through this amazing two years of adversity and injury problems, other players may have given up, she now has the chance, she has already shown it at this tournament but to reach the fourth
9:44 am
round would be a fitting way to put all those troubles behind her. amazing. taking inspiration from what has already happened with the british players. cameron norrie on centre court last night, also heather watson. can she draw inspiration from their example and join them in the fourth round? heather watson was superb. heather watson is through to her first grand slam ath round after a straight sets over kaja juvan. watson, who opened the day's play on court number one, played some of her best tennis as she won the match 7—6, 6—2. the british player paid tribute to the crowd and atmosphere for helping her through. british men's number one cameron norrie is also into a grand slam fourth round for the first time. he cruised past the american steve johnson in straight sets. norrie was always in charge, and in a dominant performance on centre court he won the first two sets 6—a, 6—1. the third set was something
9:45 am
of a formality as he won it 6—0. norrie now faces another american, 30th seed tommy paul, who knocked out the czech player jiri vesely, also in straight sets. six—time champion novak djokovic recorded a 35th straight win on wimbledon's centre court as he beat miomir kecmanovic in straight sets. in the absense of daniil medvedev and alexander zverev, the 35—year—old is top seed at this year's championships third seed ons jabeur needed just one hour and eight minutes to reach the last 16 in a dominant 6—2, 6—3 performance against diane parry. the 27—year—old, who is yet to drop a set at this year's tournament, will face 2ath seed elise mertens for a place in the quarterfinals. liam broady is first up on court one against alex de minaur. the australian played an excellent match to beat jack draper, but broady will go into the match full of confidence after his five—set victory over 12th
9:46 am
seed diego schwartzman. briefly away from wimbledon, accused me for talking quietly, i don't want to put the players off... on to rugby union now, and ireland made a great start to their first test against new zealand in auckland, they scored the opening try at eden park. but it didn't take long for the all blacks to fight back. this was the pick of the hosts' four tries in the first half. sevu reece collected the ball after garry ringrose fumbled and there was no stopping him as he ran three quarters of the length of the pitch to go over to increase new zealand's lead. they were 28—5 ahead at half—time and are currently midway through the second half. england, wales and scotland all in action later. england have won the under—19 european championships. they needed extra time to see off israel 3—1 in the final in slovakia, aston villa's aaron ramsey
9:47 am
scored the final goal five minutes from time. it's the second time in five years the young lions have won the euros. after rain interrupted first practice for the british grand prix, the sun came out at silverstone for the second with ferrari's carlos sainz quickest and some encouragement for lewis hamilton after a difficult season. he was second fastest in his mercedes, ahead of mclaren's lando norris. championship leader max verstappen was fourth quickest. with more rain forecast, third practice and qualifying could get interesting. well, hamilton might not have hit his usual heights in a car that's struggled a little this year, but his young teammate george russell is learning the ropes, and has been consistent, finishing in the top five at every race this season. he's been speaking to natalie pirks.
9:48 am
tell us about silverstone. what is it like as a british driver to race there? it is extraordinary, the best race of the season, i think. it has got it all at silverstone. personally i can't wait to get there, and ijust kind of wish that i could have experienced it from the found perspective, but i remember last year, going to the race committee first race we had fans back for a year and a half, and it was like a slap in the face of how much support there was 350,000 fans across the weekend, and it was really, really special. —— fan perspective. i can't wait to be back. does it make you feel like a rock star? is that as close as you are going to get to being at wembley? rock star may be pushing it! it was special to have people chanting your name. on sunday night, on one of the stages, i went and saw all the fans, probably 15,000 people there. my father and brother
9:49 am
were in the crowd. it was actually their birthday on the day. they had all the crowd singing, it was a really special moment. # happy birthday to you! you know, we live in this crazy lifestyle where we are travelling the world, racing cars, the best tracks in the world, but sometimes you lose sight of the little things, and what life is really about, and a moment like that was very special for me and my family. how would you sum up your season with mercedes so far? for all of us as a team, it has not been as competitive as we would have liked. there has been a lot of challenges we faced that nobody was expecting. but from a personal side it has been all right, and i think we have maximised the points available at almost all of the races. is it fair to say the car is giving you lemons
9:50 am
and you are making lemonade? i've never heard that saying before, i like it stop ultimately we are here to win, and there are no prizes for finishing fourth, you know, there is one prize and that is for the person at the top of the leaderboard. we have seen the problems the cars have had, the bouncing around. how difficult is it to drive that car? not pleasant, to say the least. we are experiencing 5—10 gs of force through the car. it is like riding an old bike with no suspension, nothing over it, like a rocky road, just shake into bits. just doing that at 200 miles an hour. max is an incredible driver and he doesn't make mistakes. the red bull, at the moment, is the fastest package. he is a long way ahead of everybody, and we are not thinking about championships or race wins, we are thinking about one theme,
9:51 am
making the car go faster. before the season started there was so much talk about you and lewis as teammates and how that would be. how would you describe the dynamic ten races in, between you and him? i think it is good, to be honest. it has probably been better than i expected, not that i expected it to be bad at all, but we have been very open with one another. we have shared a lot of information, we have shared setups. we talk openly about everything. we are here to win, coming here to work with each other, to push the team forward. we need to push each other because at the moment we are one second off and we have no interest in fighting for fifth position, through the very different stages of our career. lewis has nothing more to prove. he has proven everything. even for myself, joining mercedes, the sort of philosophy here is, you are not here to be tested, you are here because they believe in you. obviously i want to prove what i'm capable of to the world, but that is not my main focus. i am here because i love the sport, i love the fight, to chase after victories, and i want to be standing on the top of the podium.
9:52 am
he has come so far, is such a short space of time. i will leave you with these wonderful shots in britain's very own katie boulter, 25—year—old from leicester, aiming to go further than ever before at wimbledon, practising her serve, a special moment, we're used to seeing them on the big courts with thousands cheering them on, but tucked away here in a grassy corner, the coaches arriving with other players behind them, silence almost, getting an idea of how they get ready for these big matches. there is a gym just round the corner where they come to practice, then onto these practice courts. harmony tan has already left got the match starts at 11am, it is on the bbc, bbc two, we will be following katie boulter, cheering along, shortly she will make a way to the locker room to get ready for that match.
9:53 am
thanks, mike. it is light�*s hushed toes like a wildlife presenter, not wanting to disturb, it is all happening. great access. the dj steve wright's distinctive voice first graced the bbc airwaves more than a0 years ago — and he's been a mainstay on radio two for the last 20. but yesterday he announced that his weekday afternoon slot will be coming to an end in september. our arts correspondent david silleto has more. friday 1st ofjuly 2022, and live till five, it's the big show, it's steve wright in the afternoon. radio 2, steve wright in the afternoon, and an announcement. this is going to be a little bit difficult. at the end of september i'll be taking a breakfrom daytime radio — in other words, stepping down from this programme. as he left wogan house it was clear, this was a moment. aw, this is nice of you to come over. steve wright in the afternoon, which had first begun on 1981 on radio 1
9:54 am
and had been part of radio 2 for 2a years, is being dropped. that's the way it goes. you know, sometimes people want you, sometimes they don't. sometimes they want to make changes, give you another offer, and that's ok. i understand that. i really understand that. jingle: steve wright, '94 to '95! his sound, which he developed in the '80s, was a highly produced mix of comedy characters and a whooping, applauding, cheery, chatty posse. and the bride is 107. chorus of cheers. yes! i think it was just because it was something different. it was slightly subversive. there's a little bit of satire in there and it wasn't like... deep voice: "there you go, j that's the great sound of. # steve wright in the afternoon! # known as a zoo—format radio it was, at its peak, reaching 7 million listeners a day. hello, good evening, and welcome to top of the pops. steve wright will still keep his sunday morning show and scott mills will take over the afternoon slot, but it will be, in september, the end of a little bit of radio history.

9:57 am
everett, not saying that steve was trying to emulate kenny, i don't think he was, it was that similar creative brain. creating characters. radio is the theatre of the mind and steve was absolutely brilliant at creating that atmosphere around his show. �* ., , ., ., ~ ., show. bob, morning. you will know he is bein: show. bob, morning. you will know he is being replaced _ show. bob, morning. you will know he is being replaced by — show. bob, morning. you will know he is being replaced by scott _ show. bob, morning. you will know he is being replaced by scott mills - show. bob, morning. you will know he is being replaced by scott mills who i is being replaced by scott mills who currently host the afternoon sun radio one. how easy is it to ingratiate is the wrong word, but when over such an established audience, which is obviously so loyal to the previous owner or custodian of that slot?- loyal to the previous owner or custodian of that slot? well, it is not easy because _ custodian of that slot? well, it is not easy because radio _ custodian of that slot? well, it is not easy because radio moves i custodian of that slot? well, it is not easy because radio moves at| custodian of that slot? well, it is. not easy because radio moves at a fairly slow pace normally, the pace of change is slow, the thing with scott is that he has already done a lot of shows on radio two, i think the audience are already kind of use to him and have welcomed him, he has
9:58 am
done a lot of work around eurovision, sol done a lot of work around eurovision, so i think he will get a good reception from the audience in general. other having said that, it really is the end of an era, i think a lot of people... steve's show has been a point, a stability point in peoples lives, right across the last 2a years weight 3a years, and i think people will miss him. flan 24 years weight 34 years, and i think people will miss him. can you do that radio _ think people will miss him. can you do that radio voice? _ think people will miss him. can you do that radio voice? i _ think people will miss him. can you do that radio voice? i could - think people will miss him. can you do that radio voice? i could be - think people will miss him. can you do that radio voice? i could be a i do that radio voice? i could be a deep trail— do that radio voice? i could be a deep trail voice. _ do that radio voice? i could be a deep trailvoice. i _ do that radio voice? i could be a deep trail voice. i am _ do that radio voice? i could be a deep trail voice. i am the - do that radio voice? i could be a deep trail voice. i am the trail. deep trail voice. i am the trail guide. but steve created so many brilliant characters when you think through the years, said the manager, do you remember elvis or the show recently? the stuff he has been doing withjeremy recently? the stuff he has been doing with jeremy vine. absolutely built ideas, even doing withjeremy vine. absolutely built ideas, even simple doing with jeremy vine. absolutely built ideas, even simple stuff like the geese that would come on and
