cereal has suddenly got a lot more expensive. we're just half an hour away from the start of the 150th open championship. to mark this historic milestone, they're back at st andrews — regarded as the home of golf with it's world famous with its world famous fairways and greens nestling between the town and sea. and while there might be the odd shower at st andrews and the north of the country, mostly sunny spells, feeling fresher. that still extreme heat coming our way next week. it's thursday, july 14th. our main story. a second round of voting will take place in the conservative leadership contest later, with six candidates remaining in the race to become the next prime minister. former chancellor rishi sunak topped the first vote of conservative mps yesterday — he's now facing a strong challenge from the trade minister, penny mordaunt. our political correspondent, helen catt, has the latest. now there are six candidates to be the next prime minister.
6:02 am
by the end the day, there be fine. by the end the day, there be five. this is how the first round of voting by conservative mps ended yesterday. two candidates will be eliminated. jeremy hunt and nadhim zahawi. of the eight candidates who made it onto the ballot, two were knocked out, leaving just six contenders in the race to number 10. jeremy hunt, who came second to borisjohnson in 2019, has told the bbc he will now back rishi sunak. the big challenge we face now is economic, and this is someone of formidable ability who has been thinking about the right thing to do for our economy, forfamilies up and down the country, very hard over the last two years. but, in the end, it's not about policy. i've been around for long enough to know that politics is really about character. and rishi sunak is one of the most decent, straight people with the highest standards of integrity that i have ever met in british politics.
6:03 am
the former chancellor got the most votes with 88. the trade minister penny mordaunt came second. after her campaign gathered momentum. and a poll by yougov suggested she would be the most popular choice among conservative members. candidates will have policies that some people like, some people don't like. but what you can come around together is on values and she is, i think, someone who believes in community, getting things done, caring for each other, but being strong. liz truss, the foreign secretary, is hoping for a boost when she launches her campaign later. she came third yesterday with 50 votes. this morning, she will say she wants the uk to be an aspiration nation where every person has the best opportunity to succeed. conservative mps will vote for a second time later. whichever candidate gets the fewest votes will be there next to be knocked out of the contest. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. we're joined by our political
6:04 am
correspondent, ben wright. this is reaching the interesting stages and two falling by the wayside. the question is where their votes will go. wayside. the question is where their votes will 90-— wayside. the question is where their votes will go— votes will go. that is right, between — votes will go. that is right, between them, _ votes will go. that is right, between them, they - votes will go. that is right, between them, they had i votes will go. that is right, | between them, they had 43 votes will go. that is right, - between them, they had 43 votes votes will go. that is right, _ between them, they had 43 votes and the key question is how the support will be sprinkled around other candidates. mps who backed those two will divide their support among the other contenders. i think we can say a few things. rishi sunak is clearly the front runner and topped the poll comfortably yesterday. he has the cachet of a person confident he will end up as one of the final two to go to a vote of the wider membership. barring some collapse in support i think you can be confident he will make it through. penny mordaunt, trade minister, who has not served in borisjohnson�*s cabinet, she is
6:05 am
feeling confident. there is momentum behind. a strong second place yesterday. and i think she will look at that polling yesterday that shows she is the runaway favourite among tory activists. and liz truss, who is making a leadership speech today. i think she needs to build up support. she will hope to garner votes i think in support from the right of the party, such as candidates like suella braverman being knocked out. unlike yesterday, no threshold for the candidates to carry on, it is the person with the fewest votes is eliminated. i think a lot of people — fewest votes is eliminated. i think a lot of people are _ fewest votes is eliminated. i think a lot of people are asking - fewest votes is eliminated. i think a lot of people are asking what. a lot of people are asking what happens to normal business of government while this is going on. the online safety bill, about which there has been a lot of talk, was due to go into place now but has
6:06 am
been delayed. due to go into place now but has been delayed-— been delayed. what is the explanation? _ been delayed. what is the j explanation? westminster been delayed. what is the i explanation? westminster is completely dominated by the question of who the next prime minister will be. parliamentary businessjust be. parliamentary business just carrying be. parliamentary businessjust carrying on. this bill has gone through parliament for ages. a massive bill, about how the internet and content will be monitored in the future. they want to get legislation about northern ireland protocol, brexit related legislation through, so it has been squeezed out. they say it will come back in the summer but it is controversial legislation that might feature in the summer as tory candidates thrash it out. the metropolitan police say they have opened an investigation into sir mo farah's revelation that he was trafficked to the uk as a child. in a bbc documentary, sir mo says he arrived under a false name after escaping war in somalia
6:07 am
and as sean dilley reports, was separated from his family and forced into domestic slavery. as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother. and i was brought into the uk illegally. under the name of another child called mohamed farah. this was the visa document used to traffic the future champion athlete into the uk. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in the civil war. police now want to know more about allegations the team gb athlete made in a bbc documentary in which he said he was flown into the uk at the age of nine and forced to work as a domestic servant. lawyers have told the bbc that
6:08 am
mo farah's nationality was technically obtained by fraud. the home office has ruled out taking any action against him as it is assumed a child would not be complicit. the met have also confirmed they are not pursuing mo farah but they say specialist officers have opened an investigation to assess the available information which, in practical terms, means detectives will want to understand who exactly knew what about how farah entered the uk when he was nine. they want to see if they can identify any criminal offences and, if they can, who may have committed them. last year, the met said it received more than 3900 child and adult victim referrals for modern slavery offences. very few victims will have the profile and opportunity to highlight their experience. us presidentjoe biden is visiting israel at the start of a landmark regional tour — his firstjourney to the middle east since taking office. it will include a trip to saudi arabia, which is considered controversial due to tensions over human rights issues. our correspondent yolande
6:09 am
knell is injerusalem how welcome will present biden be? he has had a warm welcome from israeli leaders who greeted him at the airport as an old friend. he moved last night tojerusalem and will be waking up to this view of the old city before a day of serious talks with israeli leaders. we expect him to sign a joint declaration with the israeli prime minister saying the us and israel are committed to stopping iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. are committed to stopping iran from acquiring a nuclearweapon. in are committed to stopping iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. in a tv interview last night, joe biden did say it is still us policy to try to revive the iran nuclear deal abandoned by his predecessor, which will of course be an uphill struggle. it will be less welcoming when he goes to meet palestinian leaders tomorrow because although he
6:10 am
has declared us support for palestinian independence, the palestinians feel their cause has dropped off the political agenda. since israel has started signing normalisation deals with new arab countries. the us is committed to reinforcing those. and then he flies to saudi arabia. more difficult conversations there with arab gulf leaders, other leaders coming in as well and they want to know what the us will do about iran and there will be delicate conversations with oil producing countries about what can be done to lower global oil prices. the first instalment of direct payments from the government to help with the rising cost of living will start being paid today.
6:11 am
8 million households will receive £326 into their bank, building society or credit union account by the end ofjuly. a second instalment will be transferred later this year. sri lanka's prime minister has told the military to do "whatever is necessary to restore order", after protestors stormed his office. it's the second time that a state building has been broken into, since protests over the country's econonic crisis began less than a week ago. the prime minister was appointed acting president after the president gotabaya rajapaksa went into hiding. it has triggered further protests demanding both leaders must go. helicopters will continue to be used today to dampen fires on salisbury plain, which have been burning since monday. three fires were sparked by live firing in the military training area. residents in parts of wiltshire have been advised to stay indoors and shut their windows due to smoke. the ministry of defence has apologised for causing the fires. we have been up here for a number of days and we have had some challenges, because it's quite a dynamic
6:12 am
situation with fires popping up in lots of different areas across the plain. we are working well. we've got a plan in place. and we are currently actioning that plan and working very well and closely with our military colleagues. a previously unknown self—portrait of vincent van gogh has been discovered at the national galleries of scotland. the picture is on the back of another painting by the artist, and was only revealed by an x—ray. it's been hidden by layers of cardboard and glue, so experts in edinburgh are now trying to work out how to uncover it safely. joanne macaulay reports. for more than 100 years, this picture has been holding a secret. 0n the back of van gogh's head of a peasant woman is a previously unseen work by the artist. the ghostly image was revealed as experts carried out an x—ray on the painting. oh, it was a complete shock and, i have to say, pretty much
6:13 am
instant recognition. we thought, my goodness, there he is. we have his hat and his beard, signature neckerchief around his neck, and itjust struck us immediately that it was a self—portrait. as a poor artist, van gogh used both sides of the canvas to save money. but the self—portrait side is covered in cardboard and glue. experts hope they can safely remove the material from this valuable piece. this is really a major and very exciting find for the national galleries of scotland. it's so unusual to find a new painting on the back of a canvas like this. and, also, it is a good example of a period where van gogh was developing his mature, very radical style. the style we associate with him. it's likely to be some time before all the cardboard and glue on the back of the painting is removed and the self—portrait is fully revealed. but, in the meantime, members of the public can see
6:14 am
the x—ray of it here in edinburgh when it goes on display at the end of the month. an amazing discovery. what is going on with the weather? matt will tell us. your time is very tropical, kinda fitting. yes, the tropical theme will continue into next week especially when extreme weather comes our way but for the time being, a little fresher. warm in the sunshine. plenty of it here in plymouth. but cooler then yesterday morning and for some in the south and east, 5—6 cooler than it was. 17 still pretty warm. more cloud today in the north of the uk. showers already in northern england and some will develop in scotland and northern
6:15 am
ireland and into the north—east of england through the day. further south, it will stay dry throughout. still warm. 25—27 in parts of central and southern england. and you have passing showers. a fairfew across scotland. sunny spells. 0ne across scotland. sunny spells. one or two could get close to st andrews. 0vernight, the showers fade but then cloud pushes into scotland, northern ireland and outbreaks of rain to bring this into tomorrow morning. in the south, 10—14. and set to get harsher into the weekend and next week. with temperatures in the mid—30s, high 30s for some but wherever you are it will hotter. thanks.
6:16 am
russia's war against ukraine has had devastating consequences for many across both countries — including the families of those fighting. the mother of one russian soldier who went missing in ukraine has spoken to our russia editor, steve rosenberg. russia's invasion has brought untold pain to ukraine. but if you travel across russia, you will discover that here, too, there are families that are suffering the consequences. this mother has asked us to hide her identity. valya, not her real name, fears she may get into trouble for speaking out. but she wants to tell us about her son, a russian soldier who was fighting in ukraine. valya last heard from him more than four and a half months ago. translation: i don't believe the government any more. i i wrote to his unit, i wrote to the military district office, i wrote to the defence ministry, and then i wrote to them all again.
6:17 am
no one has given me the basic information — where, when and how my son disappeared. in official letters, valya was told that her son had been taking part in a special military operation and that he is missing. translation: on tv, | they say that everything is fine, we are winning. but our lads are being killed. if our country had been attacked like this, we would also be defending ourselves like they are. we would defend ourselves and we would be angry, too. i realise now that ukrainian mothers are the same as us. their sons are being killed. they are searching for their children. i don't know what this was all for. you would have to ask the government. ask president putin and he will tell you he ordered troops into ukraine to defend the motherland. he wants russians to rally around the flag. but valya is in touch with soldiers'
6:18 am
mothers across russia and she says that many of the mothers blame the kremlin for what is happening. translation: they hate - the government, they hate putin. they all want this war to end. if the mothers of all the soldiers who are fighting there and the ones who've lost sons, if they all raise up, can you imagine how big that army would be? and they will. their nerves will snap. stop. stop all this. stop it and protect our children. since she spoke to us, valya has received confirmation that her son is dead. one more russian soldier who won't be coming home. steve rosenberg, bbc news, russia. let's take a look at today's papers. many lead with the first round of voting in the tory
6:19 am
leadership contest. the i's front page shows the results of that first ballot and leads on the growing support for penny mordaunt in the race to number 10. her strong performance combined with a favourable poll result means she is now the bookmakers' favourite, that's according the sun. liz truss is now attempting to reinvigorate her leadership campaign, according to the guardian. if you were watching the skies last night, you'll have had a good chance of spotting the biggest and brightest moon of the year. the super—moon appeared larger than usual due to its orbit bringing it closer to earth. it is called a buck moon, the same time of year the antlers of a deer appear. they are all given different names at different times of the year. anyway, it is magnificent. a quick thought on warm nights and how you cope. the conventional
6:20 am
methods and the other methods of keeping cool. what are the conventional ones? i don't know, you light on a damp towel, don't you? have a fan. those kinds of things. this is another one. bearing in mind next time your heart at night. a professor at oxford said we should learn from what people do in other parts of the world. this is from india, where people use juice of an onion on their skin, people use juice of an onion on theirskin, rub it people use juice of an onion on their skin, rub it on their skin before they go to sleep. there is no picture. just words. you rub it all over your body. thejuice picture. just words. you rub it all over your body. the juice of an onion and apparently it can make a difference. what do we think about that?
6:21 am
are you going to try it? i doubt it. are you sleeping well in the heat? i do not really have a problem with that. more conventional, using a cold hot water bottle for ten minutes before going to bed. put your socks in the freezer and wear them in bed. you said to lie on a damp towel. these are possibles. that is all. the big supermarkets have put up the price of milk over the last week as the cost pressures on dairy farmers reaches the shelves. hannah miller is at a dairy farm in cheshire for us this morning. i was taken aback with the cows in the background, very relaxed. yes, they were up earlier than us but some of them already having a rest. the cows have come in from the
6:22 am
field. we have one here having a massage before it heads over there. behind the gate, it is where there is a robotic milking machine where they are milked three times a day. you can see some of them are wearing an ankle band, which helps the machine identify which cow it is and whether it has already been milked. the cost of doing this has gone up. over the past week, the big four supermarkets have all put the price of a two pint bottle of milk up to £1.15. in the past year the average pint has gone up a quarter. farms like this face cost pressures that face a lot of industries with fertiliser and energy bills and animal feed
6:23 am
going up. they face a challenge getting seasonal workers and hiring machinery is more expensive. all of that put together means the cost of producing a litre of milk on the farm has gone up 55% in the past year. if it sounds a lot, one company says it is only going to get worse. ~ ., , company says it is only going to get worse. ~ . , , company says it is only going to get worse. ~ . , h, worse. what is driving costs are ulobal worse. what is driving costs are global sopplv _ worse. what is driving costs are global sopplv and _ worse. what is driving costs are global supply and demand - worse. what is driving costs are i global supply and demand factors, feed, fertiliser and also people. the longer the situation in places like ukraine carries on, the more issues we have with moving goods, shipping things from the east of the west. after covid. ithink shipping things from the east of the west. after covid. i think the more west. after covid. i think the more we will see cost inflation and regrettably, the more we will see it passed onto consumers. i am

6:27 am
an agreement over funding for london's transport system is still not secure — after the government gave a further two weeks for tfl and and the department for transport to come to a deal. the financial situation after the pandemic threatens to plunge the network into a "managed decline" scenario — according to london's mayor. the government's existing funding agreement will be extended untiljuly 28 so talks can continue. the family of a man who's been held in prison in dubai for 14 years are calling for more to be done to secure his release. ryan cornelius was sentenced to ten years forfraud over a bank loan for a property deal but after serving his sentence — he was given another 20 years injail. last month the united nations called on the uae to immediately release the businessman. his family ans supporters plan to go to the foreign office later today. schoolchildren in east london say they sometimes fear for their safety as they walk home and have been left in vulnerable situations if they have forgotten their free travel pass. working together with charity citizens uk — newham pupils are calling on transport for london to allow them to board buses without a pass if they are in school uniform.
6:28 am
tfl have said bus drivers should not leave young people stranded if they are vulnerable or distressed. i got on the bus, explained the situation to the driver and showed him my blazer as proof that i was a school student. hejust shrugged, forced me to get off the bus and drove off. there are definitely drivers who are able to understand our experiences and letters on. i also understand there are some drivers who are unsure whether they are allowed to do that and say they choose not to. a cathedral in essex that opened a little over 30 years ago has been granted listed status. brentwood cathedral was inspired by the designs of sir christopher wren and is the first classical building of its kind to have been built in england since st paul's. a part a pa rt closure a part closure on the elizabeth line. and here is the weather. the temperature overnight slightly cooler than previous nights. a little better for sleeping.

6:31 am
the summer holidays? we're looking at the big airports like manchester and gatwick this morning as they race to recruit more staff in time for their biggest summer since covid. but the smaller airports are trying to cope too — our transport correspondent katy austin is at east midlands airport. it may look quiet behind me but that is because we have had a wave of passengers coming through, dropping off bags and getting on flights to long—awaited holidays. places like this were quiet at the height of the pandemic when we had lockdowns and shifting travel restrictions. here, they had 1500 passengers every day. now it is up to 14,000, 15,000. over summer, they expect 1.3 million
6:32 am
passengers to come through. you might have heard staffing has been a challenge for many aviation firms. a lot of them cutjobs in the pandemic and have raced to recruit in time for the summer. they say it has been difficult because it is a tight labour market and others have been left to work in other sectors. i have spoken to gatwick and manchester airports as they race to get staff in place in time for the long awaited summer holidays. the summer holidays are coming. demand for travel is back. they are under pressure to avoid a repeat of the long queues, disruption and cancellations scene at easter and half term. kids have been up since three o'clock in the morning and should have been on a flight at 6:40am. cancelled. just heartbroken how i was going to explain to the girls that the holiday they had spoken nothing else for for 12 months was cancelled.
6:33 am
at manchester airport the other day, passengers told me they were worried about what they had heard. we thought it would be awful. we are about four hours early. just to make sure. just because we heard all the bad things going on so we came an hour or two earlier. i work at the airport. i can tell you there - are some problems because we are understaffed. after cutting jobs during covid, lots of aviation businesses have struggled to recruit again. good morning, welcome to manchester airport security training. here, they are trying to get more security staff in place for summer. these are amongst 500 new recruits still being trained before they can start. first of all, we will check to make sure it works. we were allowed into films they learned the ropes. 500 others have already started so far this year after lengthy background checks and weeks of training.
6:34 am
i asked the airport's new boss if the issues we've seen recently would be fixed by the holidays. the experience you have in manchester in the summer of 2022 isn't going to be as good as it was in 2019. our priority is to make sure everyone gets on their flight. i would love to be stood here telling you what a great experience they are going to have. the majority of people will have a reasonable experience at manchester airport in the summer of �*22. please come three hours before and no more, no less, and we will get you on your way. 200 miles south at gatwick, security officers have seen the airport go from empty to busy in a matter of months. now there are a lot of passengers travelling and there are no restrictions, most places, and it is a challenging time for us and for everyone. there has been a big recruitment push here, too. rupesh was made redundant at the height of the pandemic but has now come back to the airport. it took me approximately a few months to get my airside pass renewed back, hence starting in march.
6:35 am
but the process was quite seamless. while managers at gatwick say they don't quite have everyone they need a place yet... we are doing a really respectable job for our customers. they insist things are getting better. i can't promise you that you are not going to be in a queue. i think we've got to be realistic with that. what i can encourage you to think about is that queue will dissipate very quickly. at least 90% of our customers at this present moment in time have no more than a ten—minute wait or less. but security is just one cog in the airport machine. out on the airfield, you can see some of the other teams needed for things to run smoothly. all the planes over here are being prepared to take off again and that means refuelling them, getting the catering on board, loading the baggage and finally, of course, getting the passengers on. the ground handling companies used by a lot of airlines to handle baggage and service aircraft have also struggled to recruit. gatwick says shortages of those workers and airline crews have caused many recent last—minute cancellations. to try to prevent more,
6:36 am
it has limited flight numbers injuly and august. easyjet blames spring cancellations on staff sickness. then it cuts 9% of its summer schedule. easyjet says 70% of affected customers have been rebooked for the same day. the airline insists it now has enough staff and it has boosted numbers working in its contact centres. can you guarantee we won't see more cancellations? i think what we can guarantee is we have done everything within our control in order to be able to ensure there is resilience built within the system. there may be other things happening like air traffic control delays or airport infrastructure. what we need to do there is make sure whenever there are interruptions to the normal service that we have as much information that we can pass to customers.
6:37 am
did easyjetjust failed to prepare for a bumper summer? no, i think that with the information we had at the time, with the capacity we were planning, i think we took all of the steps necessary to do that. as soon as we knew there was strain on the system, we built that resilience up. the government has said it has done to do what it can to help, including giving airlines a short window to hand back flight slots which british airways used to cut over 10,000 more flights. aviation businesses say they are working together to make things go as smoothly as possible, but no one can guarantee the summer will be entirely turbulence free. the queues and the cancellations have taken a lot of the headlines, but airlines point out that most people are getting away on their flights without problems. some airlines say they have not been as badly affected as some of the firms and staff shortages have not been as bad and they've not had to make any cancellations as a direct result. elsewhere we've seen other signs that things are back to normal yet
6:38 am

showers today and a chance of spots of rain through tomorrow morning. and then the way candies —— weekend is looking good and looking and the wind is hopefully and let's concentrate on the temperatures and it will be the talking point going into next week and where that heat is at the moment building across portugal, we saw temperatures hit 45 degrees and spain is in the grips of one of its longest heat waves in 50 years and this maps shows you how the temperatures compared to normal and the red colour is well above where we should be and we will see those reds pushing northwards in across france as well and we could be breaking temperature records and into the start of next week, watch how the uk starts to heat up as well and this is where we will see the peak of the heat here during tuesday and wednesday next week. for the time being, we are cooler than we were during things were and that
6:48 am
extreme heat warning will be in place but elsewhere we see scotland and northern ireland getting close to 30 degrees. and scattering some showers to come especially across northern ireland and northern england and cloud amounts building through the morning and showers and we could get one or two in the east midlands and east anglia and for the south and west, blue skies overhead but not quite as hot in the south as it was yesterday and the previous day but hotting up in the sunshine, 2427 degrees but most places in the high teens or low 20s and some of them down on where you would be at this stage injuly. the showers fade away and tonight the cloud breaks into northern ireland and temperatures will hold up but temperatures will hold up but temperatures like last night are between ten and 14 celsius as we start the morning and cooler than recent nights across the south—east corner. the weather chart for friday
6:49 am
shows high pressure in charge at the top end shows we bring in the cloud and a greater chance of rain in st andrews across scotland and northern england during the morning, brightening up from the west as we go through the day and further south stays dry and sunny and temperatures similar to today and robust values. into the weekend we go and we start to see subtle shifts in the wind direction and more of an easterly across the english channel and we could see isolated heavy channels and it will be mostly dry, sunny and hot in the sunshine and a few isolated showers drift north on sunday but most again will stick with the sunny theme and as the winds go to a more south—easterly direction temperatures start to lift into that high 20s and low 30s for england and wales but it's into the start of next week that even scotland and northern ireland will see temperatures soaring close to 30 celsius but potentially record—breaking for some in england and wales. back to both of you. william shakespeare is often associated with stratford and london, but now the town of prescot near liverpool,
6:50 am

explained the situation to the driver and showed him my blazer as proof that i was a school student. hejust shrugged, forced me to get off the bus and drove off. there are definitely drivers who are able to understand our experiences and let us on. i also understand there are some drivers who are unsure whether they are allowed to do that and say they choose not to. a cathedral in essex that opened a little over 30 years ago has been granted listed status. brentwood cathedral was inspired by the designs of sir christopher wren and is the first classical building of its kind to have been built in england since st paul's. a quick look at public transport — good service on the tubes this morning now the eeather with kate kinsella. the temperature overnight slightly cooler so perhaps a little better for sleeping. cooler so perhaps a little better forsleeping. but cooler so perhaps a little better for sleeping. but another warm day. sunshine and cloud in the east thick enough for spot a rain. temperatures getting up into the high 20s.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. six will become five. the second round of the conservative party leadership contest is held today after the first two candidates were eliminated yesterday. the met police opens an investigation into the trafficking of sir mo farah to the uk as a child. sri lanka's prime minister tells the military to do whatever is necessary to restore order after protesters stormed his office.
7:01 am
record crowds and golf going home. the 150th open championship, is under way at st andrews. paul lawrie hitting the first tee shot at st andrews, regarded as the oldest golf course in the world. showers today at st andrews and in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. elsewhere dry, not as hot but the severe heat heading our way this weekend. the details here. it's thursday, july 14th. our main story. a second round of voting will take place in the conservative leadership contest later — with six candidates remaining in the race to become the next prime minister. former chancellor rishi sunak topped the first vote of conservative mps yesterday — he's now facing a strong challenge from the trade minister, penny mordaunt. our political correspondent, helen catt, has the latest. now there are six candidates to be the next prime minister. by the end the day,
7:02 am
there will be five. this is how the first round of voting by conservative mps ended yesterday. two candidates will be eliminated. jeremy hunt and nadhim zahawi. of the eight candidates who made it onto the ballot, two were knocked out, leaving just six contenders in the race to number 10. jeremy hunt, who came second to borisjohnson in 2019, has told the bbc he will now back rishi sunak. the big challenge we face now is economic, and this is someone of formidable ability who has been thinking about the right thing to do for our economy, forfamilies up and down the country, very hard over the last two years. but, in the end, it's not about policy. i've been around for long enough to know that politics is really about character. and rishi is one of the most decent, straight people with the highest standards of integrity that i have ever met in british politics. the former chancellor got the most votes with 88.
7:03 am
the trade minister penny mordaunt came second after her campaign gathered momentum. and a poll by yougov suggested she would be the most popular choice among conservative members. candidates will have policies that some people like, some people don't like. but what you can come around together is on values and she is, i think, someone who believes in community, getting things done, caring for each other, but being strong. liz truss, the foreign secretary, is hoping for a boost when she launches her campaign later. she came third yesterday with 50 votes. this morning, she will say she wants the uk to be an aspiration nation where every person has the best opportunity to succeed. conservative mps will vote for a second time later. whichever candidate gets the fewest votes will be the next to be knocked out of the contest. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. we're joined from westminster by our political correspondent, ben wright.
7:04 am
today, i suppose the focus is on where did the votes with nadhim zahawi. and jeremy hunt go today? that is a main question today. between them they had 43 votes. those supporters will be sprinkled across the remaining candidates. they will not move as a bloc but i think all remaining candidates will be desperate to snap up those votes. rishi sunak, the former chancellor has the confidence of the current front runner and he topped the poll yesterday and i think his team are certain he will be one of the final two making it on the ballot that goes to a vote of the wider tory party membership over the summer. the second thing is the trade minister penny mordaunt clearly has momentum at the moment. a strong second place yesterday. and there is a buzz around westminster about her
7:05 am
chances. not as well—known as other contenders, not in borisjohnson's cabinet. liz truss has her leadership pitch today, a late stage in the campaign, but she was saying she wants to see britain as an aspiration nation and hopes i think to get support from the right of the tory party to bolster her chances. something we have followed on this programme is the online safety bill. we expected that to go through around this time but it is not happening. around this time but it is not happening-— around this time but it is not haueninu. ~ ., ~ , happening. one week left of mps sittin: happening. one week left of mps sitting before _ happening. one week left of mps sitting before the _ happening. one week left of mps sitting before the summer- happening. one week left of mps| sitting before the summer recess. happening. one week left of mps i sitting before the summer recess. it was expected the important and very big and controversial legislation would get an airing in the commons before the summer. that will not happen because the government says they have run out of time, partly because they are bringing a confidence vote in themselves on
7:06 am
monday and they need to make time for brexit related legislation concerning northern ireland next week. that will now be parked until there is a new prime minister in september. labour, campaigners have said it is a mistake but it is a controversial piece of legislation and others in the argument will welcome the chance for breather before parliament picks it up again. the metropolitan police says it has opened an investigation into the trafficking of sir mo farah to the uk as a child. in a bbc documentary, sir mo says he arrived under a false name after escaping war in somalia, and as sean dilley reports, was separated from his family and forced into domestic slavery. as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother. and i was brought into the uk illegally.
7:07 am
under the name of another child called mohammed farah. this was the visa document used to traffic the future champion athlete into the uk. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia, as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in the civil war. police now want to know more about allegations the team gb athlete made in a bbc documentary in which he said he was flown into the uk at the age of nine and forced to work as a domestic servant. lawyers have told the bbc that mo farah's nationality was technically obtained by fraud. the home office has ruled out taking any action against him as it is assumed a child would not be complicit. the met have also confirmed they are not pursuing farah, but they say specialist officers have opened an investigation
7:08 am
to assess the available information which, in practical terms, means detectives will want to understand who exactly knew what about how farah entered the uk when he was nine. they want to see if they can identify any criminal offences and, if they can, who may have committed them. last year, the met said it received more than 3900 child and adult victim referrals for modern slavery offences. very few victims will have the profile and opportunity to highlight their experience. one person has died and 84 were injured during yesterday's protests outside the prime minister's office and parliament in sri lanka's capital city colombo. the country's prime minister told the military to do "whatever is necessary to restore order", after protestors stormed his office. our south asia editor, anbarasan ethirajan is in colombo where there's been a curfew overnight. can you bring us up—to—date on the

7:10 am
who have been sitting here months now. that was the main demand, accusing him of mismanaging the economy and protesting against the escalating cost of living. the political stalemate continues and protesters will decide what the next course of action is during the day. joe biden is in israel at the start of his first trip to the middle east since becoming us president. after arriving, the president visited israel's yad vashem memorial to victims of the holocaust. he will visit the occupied west bank on friday before heading to saudi arabia, which is considered controversial due to tensions over human rights issues. the first instalments of direct payments from the government to help with the rising cost of living will be made today. eight million households will receive £326 into their bank, building society or credit union account by the end ofjuly. a second instalment will be transferred later this year.
7:11 am
helicopters will continue to be used today to dampen fires on salisbury plain, which have been burning since monday. three fires were sparked by live firing in the military training area. the ministry of defence has apologised for causing the fires. meanwhile, lancashire fire and rescue service are dealing with a huge fire that broke out at a landfill site in chorley last night. people living nearby are being asked to keep their doors and windows closed. a previously unknown self—portrait of vincent van gogh has been discovered at the national galleries of scotland. the picture is on the back of another painting by the artist, and was only revealed by an x—ray. it's been hidden by layers of cardboard and glue, so experts in edinburgh are now trying to work out how to uncover it safely. joanne macaulay reports. for more than 100 years, this picture has been holding a secret. on the back of van gogh's head

of a peasant woman is a previously unseen work by the artist. the ghostly image was revealed as experts carried out an x—ray on the painting. oh, it was a complete shock and, i have to say, pretty much instant recognition. we thought, my goodness, there he is. we have his hat and his beard, signature neckerchief around his neck, and itjust struck us immediately that it was a self—portrait. as a poor artist, van gogh used both sides of the canvas to save money. but the self—portrait side is covered in cardboard and glue. experts hope they can safely remove the material from this valuable piece. this is really a major and very exciting find for the national galleries of scotland. it's so unusual to find a new painting on the back of a canvas like this. and, also, it is a good example of a period where van gogh was developing his mature,
7:13 am
very radical style. the style we associate with him. it's likely to be some time before all the cardboard and glue on the back of the painting is removed and the self—portrait is fully revealed. but, in the meantime, members of the public can see the x—ray of it here in edinburgh when it goes on display at the end of the month. can you imagine you find that but it will be stuck there if you cannot figure out how to separate it. i would think it was standard practice now, given the technology available, if you have one picture by an artist, you do the x—rayjust in case there is something on the other side. why would you not always do that? i don't know. i am asking the art community that question this morning. get in touch, art community. e—mail or twitter. here's matt with a look
7:14 am
at this morning's weather. what is coming up? we have more showers. good morning. the cloud gathering in cumbria. still some sunshine between the showers. fresher this morning. especially in southern counties of england. 5—6 cooler than this time yesterday. most places 10—13 at the moment. in the chart, plenty of cloud. showers starting in the west. they will move eastwards in the afternoon. the odd shower possibly in the midlands and east anglia through the afternoon. much of wales, the midlands, channel islands staying dry and sunny. 25-27. islands staying dry and sunny. 25—27. away from that, cloud and some showers, feeling cooler. showers frequent in scotland. some

7:16 am
lists and staff shortages. health officials are always looking out for ways to alleviate those pressures, and our health correspondent nikki fox has been finding out about a new response team in essex, aiming to treat patients at home rather than in hospital. nurse kim radley starts her shift in chelmsford. straightaway, the ambulance service passes on a job. apparently this lady has been stuck in her chair since half past six last night. obviously, they are still struggling to get out to her. kim knows all too well how full hospitals are. i worked in a&e so i can see what pressures they are under. the team covers a50 square miles of mid and south essex. jean fell in her bathroom and could not move all night. her son got her downstairs on a chairlift but she can't get up again. i think everyone is feeling the heat. kim measuresjean's blood pressure. she is a bit dehydrated

7:19 am
patients a day, 50 who might otherwise be in a&e. we can speak to patricia marquis from the royal college of nursing. i hope you heard some of that report. it is clearly a success story but necessarily that is putting pressure on nursing staff because they pick up work that might because they pick up work that might be done elsewhere.— be done elsewhere. absolutely. the -ressure be done elsewhere. absolutely. the ressure is be done elsewhere. absolutely. the pressure is across _ be done elsewhere. absolutely. the pressure is across the _ be done elsewhere. absolutely. the pressure is across the whole - be done elsewhere. absolutely. the pressure is across the whole system so whilst it is great to hear people doing innovative things in different places to deliver care to patients probably on the right place, it at home if possible, the pressure on the system is increasing and immense across social care, hospitals, mental health, across the community. the issue is not space, it is staff. we are awaiting the official nhs england performance figures. what
7:20 am
conclusions do you draw ahead of those in terms of what you hear from nursing staff? taste those in terms of what you hear from nursing staff?— nursing staff? we are assuming the fiuures nursing staff? we are assuming the fi . ures will nursing staff? we are assuming the figures will not _ nursing staff? we are assuming the figures will not show _ nursing staff? we are assuming the figures will not show any _ figures will not show any improvement on what we saw last month and that the waiting lists, times, everything is continuing to maybe stick around the same but not improved. our members tell us the pressure across the system is incredible. we did recent survey and it told us 23% of members working in acute hospitals say they care regularly for people in the wrong place, whether in corridors, the wrong department, etc. when you look at the emergency department, that figure rose to 63% which means 63% of patients are seen not in the right place. they might be seen in a corridor, ambulance, different department. the pressures are
7:21 am
significant on people. the heatwave does not help. and continuation of covid continues the pressures. can ou hel covid continues the pressures. can you help people watching with some numbers. you talked about staffing levels. i am looking at the most recent statement from the department of health and they say, we are growing the nhs workforce. on target to reach the 50,000 nurses manifesto commitment. they say nursing numbers, over29,000 higher, april 2022, than in september 2019. can you go through some basics including the numbers of nursing staff leaving the numbers of nursing staff leaving the profession because sometimes i think that can get conflated in the mix. . . think that can get conflated in the mix. . , , . think that can get conflated in the mix. ., , . think that can get conflated in the mix. ., , , ., i: i: i: think that can get conflated in the mix. .,, , ., i: i: i: , , mix. last year we saw 25,000 nurses leave the profession _ mix. last year we saw 25,000 nurses leave the profession and _ mix. last year we saw 25,000 nurses leave the profession and many - mix. last year we saw 25,000 nurses leave the profession and many left i leave the profession and many left not because they were retiring because they chose to leave early
7:22 am
because they chose to leave early because of the pressure they are under and lack of value they feel. whilst there has been some increase in the numbers of staff, the workload has increased. we have to see an increase commensurate with the amount of work to be done. we still believe there are 40,000 or more vacancies across the nhs alone. these figures are only nhs and it does not include social care, the community and wider roles nurses play. whilst there is improvement, largely that improvement has come from international recruitment and thatis from international recruitment and that is not sustainable. what the government needs to do is improve and increase significantly the supply from domestic, england, scotland, northern ireland and wales, we need to grow our own nursing staff for the future and the government needs to be held accountable for not doing that over

7:26 am
until the release date. they settled in quickly. this dity to our right would have been 2—3 inches of water this time of year. it is now well up over a metre. that was a beaver. sure enough, we spot the male. very territorial at the moment. then kevin tells us some exciting news. we have seen one beaver kit, a baby beaver, this year, in recent months. that is fantastic news. it shows the beavers are happy, they are breeding. we are getting an increase in population. that will be the first baby beaver born in cheshire for well over 400 years. the kit is about three months old, caught here on a night camera. but no sign of it today. the little one is exploring the site but doing exactly what its parents are doing. it will go around and then start to fell hopefully some smaller trees.

and also be grazing on vegetation. they are quite independent. this is a milestone in the project and shows just how well the beavers are doing. we keep hearing the splash. that is him telling us he knows there is something not quite right. it is designed to frighten or scare anything off that is a potential predator and it does just that. everywhere you go there are signs of their hard work. you everywhere you go there are signs of their hard work.— their hard work. you can see the teeth marks- _ their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the _ their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the mouth - their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the mouth is - their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the mouth is a - their hard work. you can see the teeth marks. the mouth is a c l their hard work. you can see the - teeth marks. the mouth is a c shape and clamps and cuts through the bark. we have dan here. about one metre high in places —— dam. you can see the trees growing. now up to one metre deep. the project here has been part funded by members of the public,

who will no doubt be delighted to hear the population is growing. lovely bit of nature. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. our good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. an agreement over funding for london's transport system is still not secure — after the government gave a further two weeks for tfl and and the department for transport to come to a deal. the financial situation after the pandemic threatens to plunge the network into a "managed decline" scenario, according to london's mayor. the government's existing funding agreement will be extended untiljuly 28 so talks can continue. two met police officers have been charged with common assault by beating after they stopped a man in north—west london. the man was allegedly stopped with excessive force in hendon, on 28 december. the met said the pair had been placed on restricted duties, which would be reviewed. the family of a man who's been held in prison in dubai for 14
7:29 am
years are calling for more to be done to secure his release. ryan cornelius was sentenced to ten years forfraud over a bank loan for a property deal but after serving his sentence — he was given another 20 years injail. last month, the united nations called on the uae to immediately release the businessman. his family ans supporters plan to go to the foreign office later today. gatwick airport chiefs say the rise in demand for flights this summer has been faster than many expected. cancellations are likely to continue overjuly and august as staff shortages remain a problem. a cap on flights will also stay in place to help the airport cope with demand. the reality is it's been even quicker than we expected, and we are now at 80% already of 2019 passenger levels and only five months ago we were at 20%, so it's been very strong and really encouraging but obviously a significant ramp up in a
7:30 am
short space of time. there's a good service on the tubes this morning — just minor delays on the elizabeth line. the temperature overnight slightly cooler than the previous night so perhaps better for sleeping cooler than the previous night so perhaps betterfor sleeping but it's another warm day today with plenty of sunshine and some cloud in the east and potentially thick enough for a spot of rain but that's about it and temperatures in the sunshine getting into the high 20s at about 28 celsius and another warm evening, plenty of sunshine and once the sun sets it is dry and clear, perhaps in patchy cloud but the minimum temperature is cooler again between 11 and 14 celsius and the high pressure stays with us as we head into friday it will be another warm if not hot day with plenty of sunshine and perhaps cloud in the afternoon but we look at a maximum temperature of 27 celsius and through the weekend the high pressure will be drifting east and as it does so it drags in warmer air, if you can imagine from the
7:31 am
continent so temperature is set to rise and the met office has issued an amber warning rise and the met office has issued an amberwarning for rise and the met office has issued an amber warning for extreme heat which is valid sunday through to tuesday and that is when we reach the peak in temperatures. sunday is the peak in temperatures. sunday is the low 30s, monday 35 and tuesday potentially 36 or higher. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. and then there were six. the race to become the next prime minister continues today — with a second vote of conservative mps to find their next leader. but what do party members make of the remaining contenders? newsnight�*s policy editor, lewis goodall, has been getting a sense of views and joins us now from sheffield. lewis, what have you been hearing?
7:32 am
at the end of the day, as people wise up to the process, it is all about members of the conservative party and in the final analysis, of who they think of the two that will remain after this slightly torturous process we go through now. it is. process we go through now. it is, and it can — process we go through now. it is, and it can bypass _ process we go through now. it is, and it can bypass the _ process we go through now. it is, and it can bypass the rest - process we go through now. it is, and it can bypass the rest of- process we go through now. it 3 and it can bypass the rest of us, this process and it's worth remembering it's only happened once before that conservative party members or the party membership have directly chosen a prime minister, notjust mps and the danger for the conservative party, i suppose is that the 47 million of the rest of us, the electorate are rather bypassed from it but their views are important, clearly, because in two years time we assume, properly in 2024, the conservative party will ask the electorate to give them something exceptionally rare in british political history, effectively a fifth term in office taking them until 2027, perhaps even
7:33 am
beyond, and that will be no mean feat and they have to do it, by the way by keeping the electoral coalition that borisjohnson uniquely put together in 2019, the so—called red wall areas which had been drifting away from the party in recent by—elections so we thought we would go along to the rather valley down the road in sheffield and talk to half a dozen or so open voters who voted liv conservative or were open to it in 2019 and open to voting for the party again but have been profoundly disappointed over what has happened in the last few months and here is a sense of what they said, the damage done to the conservative party run by recent events in the latter part of the borisjohnson premiership. i events in the latter part of the boris johnson premiership. i think the did boris johnson premiership. i think they did the _ boris johnson premiership. i think they did the right _ boris johnson premiership. i think they did the right thing _ boris johnson premiership. i think they did the right thing that - boris johnson premiership. i think they did the right thing that they i they did the right thing that they waited _ they did the right thing that they waited too long and it got to a point — waited too long and it got to a point where it was so untenable they

about the economic situation to come, real fear in the autumn and winter and those candidates in particular, it really occupies s w one in westminster talking about the culture war and that went down like a lead balloon because lots of people are saying, that's not what is affecting my life right now. what i need to hearfrom is affecting my life right now. what i need to hear from these candidates is ideas to try and improve and ameliorate the really profound difficult, economic situation that they are all expecting because this is the big challenge for the conservatives going forward, there was a profound sense of pessimism, a wariness about them about what they saw as crisis after crisis that the country has been through in the last few years and they are looking for, in one word, hope, but hope on economics backed up with real ideas about what each of them will try to do to improve the situation we are in. . . ~ do to improve the situation we are in. , . ,, , ., do to improve the situation we are in. , . ,, ., do to improve the situation we are in. lewis, thank you for that. by tomorrow _ in. lewis, thank you for that. by tomorrow morning _ in. lewis, thank you for that. by tomorrow morning there -

there's a new leader at the tour de france, after a dramatic eleventh stage. it was a day of punishing climbs in the alps, and denmark's yonas vingergo, won the stage and took the overall lead in the tour while behind him, the most dominant man in cycling buckle, slovenia's taday pogarcher, who has won the last two tours, finished way off the pace, and had to hand over the yellow jersey. england are out of the, women's hockey world cup, after a narrow loss to argentina. in what was a tight and tense quarter—final throughout, victoria granatto grabbed the only goal of the match early in the fourth period. england had two excellent late chances to equalise, but on both occasions were denied by superb saves. that was a real shock in the tour de france, and he said the legs did not feel good on the punishing climbs in the bad news is that there are more climbs, and anyone who has been skiing in the alps will know you can have a lovely ride down the slopes

north and west where we are likely to see scattered showers and already some of you starting on the wet side and we've seen outbreaks of rain across northern england and the odd shower in scotland and more will develop in the afternoon with the odd heavy one, mainly pushing towards the eastern side of scotland on the eastern side of england and some as far south as the east midlands and east anglia but mainly being avoided and staying dry and sunny across the midlands and southern england and much of wales where we see temperatures in the mid 20s so down on recent days but plenty warm enough and the mid to high teens and low 20s and feeling on a little cool side and there is more rain to come across scotland and northern ireland later but elsewhere it stays dry and clear and another night in which you can throw the windows open and let some fresh air in the house and temperatures down to seven or eight in rural areas. but for friday while there is high pressure holding on we do have the weather system working across the weather system working across the north which will bring a greater chance of rain to the open at st

8:03 am
of the eight candidates who made it onto the ballot, two were knocked out, leaving just six contenders in the race to number 10. jeremy hunt, who came second to borisjohnson in 2019, has told the bbc he will now back rishi sunak. the big challenge we face now is economic, and this is someone of formidable ability who has been thinking about the right thing to do for our economy, forfamilies up and down the country, very hard over the last two years. but, in the end, it's not about policy. i've been around for long enough to know that politics is really about character. and rishi is one of the most decent, straight people with the highest standards of integrity that i have ever met in british politics. the former chancellor got the most votes with 88. the trade minister penny mordaunt came second after her campaign gathered momentum. and a poll by yougov suggested she would be the most popular choice among conservative members.
8:04 am
candidates will have policies that some people like, some people don't like. but what you can come around together is on values and she is, i think, someone who believes in community, getting things done, caring for each other, but being strong. liz truss, the foreign secretary, is hoping for a boost when she launches her campaign later. she came third yesterday with 50 votes. this morning, she will say she wants the uk to be an aspiration nation where every person has the best opportunity to succeed. conservative mps will vote for a second time later. whichever candidate gets the fewest votes will be the next to be knocked out of the contest. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. we're joined now from westminster by our political correspondent, ben wright. in the sunshine, looks lovely there. in the sunshine, looks lovely there. i cannot imagine it will be stress—free in that room because today, the remaining mps need to

8:06 am
party. liz truss the foreign secretary was third on the ballot. fairly late, she is making her leadership pitch today with a speech in westminster. i think she will hope to bolster support by getting votes from the right of the party. that is the pitch she will make when she makes a speech later. it remains a competitive race. all sorts of twists and turns ahead.- a competitive race. all sorts of twists and turns ahead. while that business is — twists and turns ahead. while that business is going _ twists and turns ahead. while that business is going on _ twists and turns ahead. while that business is going on there - twists and turns ahead. while that business is going on there is - twists and turns ahead. while that business is going on there is the l business is going on there is the business is going on there is the business of government. we expected the online safety bill to go through but that has not happened. it is the online safety bill to go through but that has not happened.- but that has not happened. it is an im ortant but that has not happened. it is an important piece — but that has not happened. it is an important piece of _ but that has not happened. it is an important piece of legislation - but that has not happened. it is an important piece of legislation in i important piece of legislation in the works about three years, a massive bill that will try to regulate the internet and get rid of some of the more harmful content, introduce new regulations. the government have said there is not time for the last hearing and they
8:07 am
have said the first reason is the government is putting forward a confidence vote in themselves on monday so that will take up time and second, they want to make space for brexit related legislation concerning northern ireland so they said there is no time. it is controversial. it will be the job of the next prime minister to pick it up the next prime minister to pick it up in september. labour and campaigners have criticised that for now, that important piece of legislation has been parked in the long grass. legislation has been parked in the lona crass. . the metropolitan police says it has opened an investigation into the trafficking of sir mo farah to the uk as a child. in a bbc documentary, sir mo says he arrived under a false name after escaping war in somalia and, as sean dilley reports, was separated from his family
8:08 am
and forced into domestic slavery. as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother. and i was brought into the uk illegally. under the name of another child called mohammed farah. this was the visa document used to traffic the future champion athlete into the uk. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia, as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in the civil war. police now want to know more about allegations the team gb athlete made in a bbc documentary in which he said he was flown into the uk at the age of nine and forced to work as a domestic servant. lawyers have told the bbc that mo farah's nationality was technically obtained by fraud. the home office has ruled out taking
8:09 am
any action against him as it is assumed a child would not be complicit. the met have also confirmed they are not pursuing farah, but they say specialist officers have opened an investigation to assess the available information which, in practical terms, means detectives will want to understand who exactly knew what about how farah entered the uk when he was nine. they want to see if they can identify any criminal offences and, if they can, who may have committed them. last year, the met said it received more than 3900 child and adult victim referrals for modern slavery offences. very few victims will have the profile and opportunity to highlight their experience. one person has died and 84 were injured during yesterday's protests outside the prime minister's office and parliament in sri lanka's capital city colombo. the country's prime minister told the military to do whatever is necessary to restore order. the government has just imposed a 17—hour curfew our south asia editor,

8:12 am
burning since monday. three fires were sparked by live firing in the military training area. the ministry of defence has apologised for causing the fires. meanwhile, lancashire fire and rescue service are dealing with a huge fire that broke out at a landfill site in chorley last night. people living nearby are being asked to keep their doors and windows closed. a previously unknown self—portrait of vincent van gogh has been discovered by the national galleries of scotland on the back of another one of his paintings. the dutch post—impressionist painter was known for using both sides of the canvas to save money and this picture was only revealed by an x—ray. it's been hidden by layers of cardboard and glue, so experts in edinburgh are now trying to work out how to uncover it safely. amazing. no one has been in touch yet whether

midlands and east anglia in the afternoon. the channel islands, southern england and much of wales dry and sunny. not as hot as recent days but hot enough when the sun is on your back. it is feeling cooler than recent days. around 15—19. some spots getting up to 21. the odd shower close to st andrews for the start of the goal. they will clear this evening but more rain tonight in northern ireland and western scotland. much of england and wales dry. over the next days, it gets hotter. we could see temperatures next week in the mid—30s. more later. maybe you have already booked a holiday and plan to get away. after months of travel disruption and flight cancellations, just how ready are airports and airlines as we fast approach
8:15 am
the summer holidays? we're looking at the big airports like manchester and gatwick this morning as they race to recruit more staff in time for their biggest summer since covid. but the smaller airports are trying to cope too — our transport correspondent katy austin is at east midlands airport. looking behind you, remarkably quiet. it does look pretty quiet at the moment but i promise you, it does look pretty quiet at the moment but i promise you, there it does look pretty quiet at the moment but i promise you, there were lots of people coming through earlier, dropping off their bags for early morning flights. 45 flights scheduled to leave the airport today in total and 45 arriving. this terminal was completely closed to passengers about nine months of the past two years and even when it was open, it was quiet with 1500 passengers coming through every day. we are now up to 15,000 a day but
8:16 am
nowhere near the pre—carry—macro peak. —— the peak before covid macro. there is a challenge for a lot of airports because they lost a lot of staff during covid and they have been on a recruitment drive to get staff to cope with larger passenger numbers. here they say they have pretty much filled all critical roles, such as security officers. other jobs roles, such as security officers. otherjobs going for new recruits in other roles around the airport. how does it look at other big airports? i have been looking at gatwick and manchester. the summer holidays are coming. demand for travel is back. but are airports and airlines ready? they are under pressure to avoid a repeat of the long queues,
8:17 am
disruption and cancellations seen at easter and half—term. kids have been up since three o'clock in the morning and should have been on a flight at 6:40am. cancelled. just heartbroken how i was going to explain to the girls that the holiday they had spoken nothing else for for 12 months was cancelled. at manchester airport the other day, passengers told me they were worried about what they had heard. we thought it would be awful. we are about four hours early. just to make sure. just because we heard all the bad things going on so we came an hour or two earlier. i work at the airport. i can tell you there - are some problems because we are understaffed. after cutting jobs during covid, lots of aviation businesses have struggled to recruit again. good morning, welcome to manchester airport security training. here, they are trying to get more security staff in place for summer. these are amongst 500 new recruits still being trained before they can start. first of all, we will check to make sure it works.
8:18 am
we were allowed in to film as they learned the ropes. 500 others have already started so far this year after lengthy background checks and weeks of training. i asked the airport's new boss if the issues we've seen recently would be fixed by the holidays. the experience you have in manchester in the summer of 2022 isn't going to be as good as it was in 2019. but our priority is to make sure everyone gets on their flight. i would love to be stood here telling you what a great experience they are going to have. the majority of people will have a reasonable experience at manchester airport in the summer of '22. please come three hours before and no more, no less, and we will get you on your way. 200 miles south at gatwick, security officers have seen the airport go from empty to busy in a matter of months. now there are a lot of passengers travelling and there are no restrictions, most places, and it is a challenging time for us and for everyone. there has been a big recruitment push here, too. rupesh was made redundant at the height of the pandemic
8:19 am
but has now come back to the airport. it took me approximately a few months to get my airside pass renewed back, hence starting in march. but the process was quite seamless. while managers at gatwick say they don't quite have everyone they need a place yet... we are doing a really respectable job for our customers. ..they insist things are getting better. i can't promise you that you are not going to be in a queue. i think we've got to be realistic with that. what i can encourage you to think about is that queue will dissipate very quickly. at least 90% of our customers at this present moment in time have no more than a ten—minute wait or less. but security is just one cog in the airport machine. out on the airfield, you can see some of the other teams needed for things to run smoothly. all the planes over here are being prepared to take off again and that means refuelling them, getting the catering on board, loading the baggage and finally, of course, getting the passengers on.
8:20 am
the ground handling companies used by a lot of airlines to handle baggage and service aircraft have also struggled to recruit. gatwick says shortages of those workers and airline crews have caused many recent last—minute cancellations. to try to prevent more, it has limited flight numbers injuly and august. easyjet blames spring cancellations on staff sickness. then it cuts 9% of its summer schedule. easyjet says 70% of affected customers have been rebooked for the same day. the airline insists it now has enough staff and it has boosted numbers working in its contact centres. can you guarantee we won't see more cancellations? i think what we can guarantee is we have done everything within our control in order to be able to ensure there is resilience built within the system. there may be other things happening like air traffic control delays or airport infrastructure. what we need to do there is make sure whenever there are interruptions to the normal service that we have as much information that we can pass to customers.
8:21 am
did easyjetjust failed to prepare for a bumper summer? no, i think that with the information we had at the time, with the capacity we were planning, i think we took all of the steps necessary to do that. as soon as we knew there was strain on the system, we built that resilience up. the government has said it has done what it can to help, including giving airlines a short window to hand back flight slots which british airways used to cut over 10,000 more flights. aviation businesses say they are working together to make things go as smoothly as possible, but no one can guarantee the summer will be entirely turbulence free. the airlines will point out that although cancellations get the headlines, most passengers managed to get away on long awaited summer holidays without major issues or with no issues at all. some airlines
8:22 am
and other aviation businesses such as ryanair and tour operators said they had not been as affected by staff shortages and had not had to make cancellations directly as a result of staffing issues. there are signs things are not back to normal in aviation. if you look at heathrow. this week they said they would limit the number of passengers who could come through heathrow in the summer saying the system was not ready to cope with more than 100,000 a day. if you plan to get on a flight in the next couple of months, advice i can give you is that airports says some time security queues are made worse by people forgetting the rules of what they can put in hand luggage so make sure you check that and put things in a clear plastic bag to avoid getting caught up in further checks. and when you are thinking about when to arrive at the airport, follow the advice of the airline. if you arrive too early you will add to the queues. studio: thank you. a handful of
8:23 am
people checking in, i think. as long as they are not too early. they are starting to appear for the lunchtime flights. katie was saying they are trying to keep numbers down in the airport, congestion at a minimum. people think i will get there really early and add to it so it is getting the balance. we want to have your experience of travel. we are looking at travel watchers. it involves tracking the experiences of hundreds of holiday—makers this summer. instead of boring your friends and neighbours with the detail of the journey you had, it can be put into a useful place. all the details there. patterns will probably emerge in places where there are problems. what stories are you having with your friends telling you?
8:24 am
is there a rule of what they can tell you when it comes to their lives? it is that thing, when someone has a travel problem it is a big dealfor them and there is a limited capacity for hearing the absolute detail. that is the place you can put it and it will be used usefully and put together into a thing. we are going to take you outdoors. the big supermarkets have put up the price of milk over the last week as the cost pressures on dairy farmers reaches the shelves. hannah miller is at a dairy farm in cheshire for us this morning. this is the sharp end, really. you have been chatting to the farmer there about the realities of trying to supply the milk trade in the current climate. definitely. the cows here are starting to wonder what we have been doing here all morning. this place is home to around 200. if we come
8:25 am
over here, we have a cow being milked right now. it happens about three times a day, done robotically. they get a treat to eat while they are being milked. the machine can identify it is time for this coward to be milked. so that it does not have too many treats. the cost of doing this has gone up. in the past week, the big four supermarkets had put up the price of a two litre bottle by at least 10p to £1 15. over the last year, the price of the average pint of milk a rocketed by nearly a quarter, that's compared to average inflation in that time of 9.%. what's driving the rises for farmers? the cost of fertiliser, energy bills
8:26 am
has gone up, more expensive animal feed. they face a challenge of getting seasonal workers they need and the cost of hiring machinery is more expensive. all of that put together means the cost of producing a litre of milk on a farm has gone up a litre of milk on a farm has gone up 55% in a year. if that sounds like a lot, the biggest dairy farm in the uk warns it could go up further. this is what they had to say, they produce 3.3 billion litres of milk a year. what is driving costs are global supply and demand factors, particularly feed, fertiliser and also people. the longer the situation in places like ukraine carries on, the more issues we have with moving goods, shipping things from the east of the west. after covid. i think the more we will see cost inflation and regrettably, the more we will see it
8:27 am
passed onto consumers. we have brought gordon down to the farm. director of business at the university of salford and you will talk us through what it means for customers and supermarkets. why is the price of milk seen as symbolic? it is a bellwether product that is in so many baskets at the end of the shop. the one thing people recognise as a consistent item and even though one item among potentially many, it is the one people refer to the most in terms of the price of the item. we'll supermarkets have been reluctant to do this?— reluctant to do this? they are competing — reluctant to do this? they are competing against _ reluctant to do this? they are competing against one - reluctant to do this? they are. competing against one another reluctant to do this? they are - competing against one another and one of the things they have to be mindful of is if people compare prices of milk between the supermarkets, that could shape which supermarkets, that could shape which supermarket they choose to shop at next week. ~ :, :, .

8:33 am
this summer has been faster than many expected. cancellations are likely to continue overjuly and august as staff shortages remain a problem. a cap on flights will also stay in place to help the airport cope with demand. the reality is it's been even quicker than we expected, and we are now at over 80% already of 2019 passenger levels and only five months ago we were at 20%, so it's been very strong and really encouraging but obviously a significant ramp—up in a short space of time. a quick look at public transport. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, just minor delays on the elizabeth line. now the weather with kate kinsella. the temperature overnight slightly cooler so perhaps a little better for sleeping. but another warm day. sunshine and cloud in the east thick enough for spot a rain. temperatures getting

8:49 am
northern england and ireland and a fair bit of cloud. not as sunny as yesterday but there will be sunny spells in the showers and some will stay really dry and showers as far south as the east midlands and east anglia but in the south midlands and much of southern england and the channel islands, you will stay not only dry but largely sunny. not as hot as yesterday still 24 up to 27 and hot enough for many and magical elsewhere at around 18 to 22 degrees and some even cooler than that and tonight after losing the showers, the rain returns to scotland into the rain returns to scotland into the morning and some rain and drizzle for northern ireland which will keep the temperatures up to further south could see temperatures dip to single figures but while high—pressure holes and across the south around tomorrow we have the next weather system sneaking past and it brings a cloudy start across mainland scotland and parts of northern ireland as well and breaking up into showers through the day but away from that, the best of the sunshine in the south and temperatures similar to today's
8:50 am
values across the board and may be northern ireland feeling warmer. then into the weekend, high—pressure bills more widely and that means more sunshine and a bit of rain for the western isles and the isolated transom shower in the south—west but temperatures starting to creep up a little bit more widely in the low to mid 20s and in scotland and northern ireland temperatures on the rise and it will rise further into sunday and there is an outside chance of a shower and the vast majority is dry and sunny and temperatures to get as high as the low 30s by this stage across parts of england and wales and will continue to creep up, the mid 20s in northern ireland and may be the high 20s out towards the west. and where is the heat at the moment? it can be found in spain and portugal and it is here where we have an extensive and blistering heatwave with temperatures watch how you go in the next few days and into into parts of france and then towards our. the met office have the
8:51 am
extreme heat warning out in these areas of englund and wales but the heat will be felt almost go into next week and even parts of scotland and northern ireland could see close to around 30 degrees but temperatures across england and wales, mid to high 30s and it could break the national temperature record if we get above temperatures into context, the number of years in which we have was only nine in a century, but since 2003, that will take us up to seven. it —— it is —— it isa take us up to seven. it —— it is —— it is a warming climate. where you're listening to the teeth thing just then? i you're listening to the teeth thing 'ust then? .., :, you're listening to the teeth thing | just then?_ you just then? i could never do it. you have a lovely _ just then? i could never do it. you have a lovely face. _ just then? i could never do it. you have a lovely face. sometimes - just then? i could never do it. you have a lovely face. sometimes it. just then? i could never do it. you | have a lovely face. sometimes it is
