the first results are in from the local elections in england with labour and the liberal democrats both taking council seats from the conservatives. more than 8,000 councillors will be chosen in a vote which is seen as the first big test of rishi sunak�*s electoral popularity since becoming prime minister. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has the latest. cheering. celebration in stoke—on—trent. seat by seat, councillors are finding out their fate. here it's labour that are making gains. ballots are being counted in some of the 200 or so towns, cities and rural areas across england where voters have had their say on who should run local services. the tories have had a tough night, hoping to limit their losses, but they've seen control of several councils slip away. brentwood in essex was an early loss for the conservatives here and elsewhere. it's the lib dems who are cheering the loudest. fantastic result for the liberal democrats in one

of the safest tory seats in the country. we've gained three seats. we're now up to 17 seats and the council moves into an overall control and it's a time of change in brentwood and we're really delighted. it's fantastic news. labour have taken significant steps forward, gaining dozens of seats from the conservatives and winning control of plymouth council. the city's tory mp accepted his party was being punished. this has been a really terrible night for us here in plymouth. i think there's a number of factors at play. i think locally it's been very difficult. the conservative group here has been through a very difficult time. we've seen that reflected on the doors in the campaign and we've seen that reflected in the results tonight. but, you know, we take it on the chin. in a first for elections in england, photo id was required at polling stations, which left some unable to vote. but it's too soon to say what impact the change has had. 0nly around a quarter of the councils holding elections are counting votes overnight,

so early results won't give anything like the full picture. but in the hours ahead, these local elections will be closely watched as a crucial test of the national political picture. jonathan blake, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, is here with me now. morning to you. a bit of news expectation for people tuning in right now because we only have limited results and that cannot give us... people hoping to know the result of the local election, we cannot give them that. you result of the local election, we cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and — cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and others _ cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and others say _ cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and others say this - cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and others say this a - cannot give them that. you are going to hit me and others say this a lot. to hit me and others say this a lot this morning, there is a long way to go. different councils are counting at different times. some did it overnight and sun during the course of today. 0nly overnight and sun during the course of today. only a few results so far. from those results it is pretty clear it is a bad night for the

conservatives and a good night for labour and quite conservatives and a good night for labourand quite a conservatives and a good night for labour and quite a good night for the lib dems. that is the broad picture we have so far.- the lib dems. that is the broad picture we have so far. where would ou draw picture we have so far. where would you draw peeple's — picture we have so far. where would you draw people's attention - picture we have so far. where would you draw people's attention to - picture we have so far. where would you draw people's attention to look| you draw people's attention to look at some snapshots as to what is occurring more widely?- occurring more widely? these elections are _ occurring more widely? these elections are complicated. - occurring more widely? these i elections are complicated. even though not loads and loads of councils have switched from one party to another, beneath that there is a lot of detail about where labour is making gains and the conservatives are slipping back. the two council is worth looking at, plymouth, which labour really wanted to take and they have. there was an issue about the council cutting of trees. the really symbolic one is stoke—on—trent in the midlands. that is because in 2019, the general election, the conservatives won all three seats in stoke—on—trent and now labour have taken a council. the

really big one for them to point to and say we are we gaining ground in areas that really matter to us, the red wall. labour are saying that we are getting back in there. that is really symbolic.— really symbolic. alex will be s - eakin . really symbolic. alex will be speaking to _ really symbolic. alex will be speaking to representatives| really symbolic. alex will be - speaking to representatives from the three main parties this morning. a lot of councillors will be speaking to one another and saying, what did we do wrong? whichever party they belong to, saying, there are issues beyond us that have affected the vote that has kicked as out. we soke vote that has kicked as out. we spoke last _ vote that has kicked as out. - spoke last week about what these elections are about. there will have beenin elections are about. there will have been in some areas local issues that came into play. what you are hearing from a lot of councillors, what you are picking up already, the national picture really came into this, particularly some conservative councillors who have lost their seats. we expect a lot more of those during the day. as much as anything

else, this is a message about the turmoil of the party has been in and a message about the party's record in government for the last 13. what the conservatives and labour have been doing is saying, where does that leave us as we look forward to a general election?— a general election? thank you very much for the _ a general election? thank you very much for the time _ a general election? thank you very much for the time being. - a general election? thank you very much for the time being. all- a general election? thank you very much for the time being. all the i much for the time being. all the local election results available online. to see who won in your area, you can use our postcode checker, which is available on the bbc news website and on our app. rail travellers are facing more disruption after members of the rmt union voted to continue taking strike action. around 20,000 workers employed by 1a train companies were eligible to take part in the ballot. the transport secretary, mark harper, insisted they'd been offered a fair pay deal and was disappointed by the decision. it's now possible that strikes could run until nearly the end of this year. the energy price cap is expected to fall to £2,060 per year from july for the average household. the latest analysis by experts at cornwall insight say it comes

as the wholesale energy market stabilises, and there's less demand from consumers. bills are still around £1000 higher than they were in 2020. a jury in new york has decided that the singer, ed sheeran, did not copy marvin gaye's song, let's get it on, when he composed his hit, thinking out loud. the heirs of marvin gaye had argued that they were owed money for copyright infringement. our music correspondent, mark savage, has more. # will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?# thinking out loud is one of ed sheeran�*s biggest hits. in the uk alone, it has sold more than 4 million copies. but, shortly after it was released, he was accused of theft by the family of ed townsend, the co—writer of marvin gaye's let's get it on. here's how the songs sound when they're put into the same key.

# i've been really trying, baby...# # my heart could still for as hard...# the lyrics and melody are different, but the underlying chords are similar. sheeran brought his guitar to the witness stand in new york and played those chords. he said they were the basic building blocks of pop music, used by everyone from dolly parton to elvis presley. the prosecution played what they called a smoking gun — this fan shot video of sheeran playing a medley of thinking out loud and let's get it on. # sha—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la # let's get it on # 0h, let's get it on.# due to a quirk of us copyright law, only the sheet music

for marvin gaye's song was protected under law. that meant the jury wasn't able to compare the music recordings of the two songs side by side, and, in the end, they sided with ed sheeran. we spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords, which are all so different and used by songwriters every day all over the world. they are in a songwriter�*s alphabet, our toolkit, and should be there for all of us to use. no—one owns them, or the way they are played in the same way that nobody owns the colour blue. for sheeran, the timing couldn't have been better. he releases a new album and goes back on tour this weekend. mark savage, bbc news. parents are being urged to make sure their children have had the mmrjab, following a rise in the number of people catching measles. there were 5a cases across england in the whole of last year compared with 49 in the first four months of 2023. the uk health security agency has described it as "very concerning". doctors say some children missed out on vaccinations because of disruption caused by covid and it's important that they catch up.

nurseries, preschools and childminders arejoining calls for a review of 0fsted inspections. the charity, the early years alliance, says many find inspections stressful and want a change to the use of the current grading system. teaching unions have been calling for this to be re—visited after a head teacher, ruth perry, took her own life after her school was downgraded. 0fsted says it wants inspections to be "as constructive as possible". those are the main stories this morning. now for the weather with matt, who's outside buckingham palace this morning. all eyes on events across the weekend. all eyes on events across the weekend-— all eyes on events across the weekend. ., :: ,., , weekend. indeed, charlie. 20 past ten, the weekend. indeed, charlie. 20 past ten. the kings _ weekend. indeed, charlie. 20 past ten, the kings procession - weekend. indeed, charlie. 20 past ten, the kings procession begins l ten, the kings procession begins tomorrow. if you are heading down to watch events unfold, a rain check.

things are looking ominous in the forecast. today, right across the uk, it is going to be a mixture across the country of a little sunshine developing. there will be scattered and quite heavy showers developing some of them will be thundery at times through the day. a few light showers across the south. the crowded conditions are in the far north. 0utbreaks the crowded conditions are in the far north. outbreaks of rain edging norse. a gloomy day on the east coast of scotland. away from that, the skies will brighten and there will be sunshine. heavy thundery showers quite widely across england and wales. it will be mild once the sun is out in the south, the temperatures up to 18, 19. tonight stays windy with lots of cloud by patching out rain and drizzle. many places become dry overnight. tomorrow morning in the south—west

we will see heavy rain edging its way in. a mild start to their night and into tomorrow. the rain will spread across much of england and wales. some of the heaviest burst will be on and off late morning, mid morning towards early afternoon before petering out a little bit. the rain will edge east. a mix of sunshine and showers away from the coast. call where you see the sunshine. 0n coast. call where you see the sunshine. on sunday and monday it does look like sunday will be the brighter day of the weekend. early cloud will clear and sunshine will come out. by bank holiday monday heavy showers will return. all the details in around half an hour. look at the clouds behind me and for you, it is looking a bit ominous but there will be sunshine, as you have at the moment above westminster.

this is the view from westminster. hazy skies, quite mild. preparations are under way for the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla are taking place. in just over 2a hours, all eyes will be on this historic church, which has played host to all of britain's coronations since 1066, and where the king will be crowned, 70 years after his mother, queen elizabeth. thousands of people will line the streets of london to catch a glimpse of the parade and millions more will be watching from home. we have seen all the barriers set up around here ready for the crowds. 0ur correspondent helena wilkinson has been taking a look at all the final preparations. the flowers, which will be on display at the coronation service, have arrived at westminster abbey. there will be over 120 varieties from across the uk, and foliage too, from the royal horticultural society, which will be placed

at the high altar. the arrangements are said to reflect the king and queen consort�*s deep affection for the natural world. there are branches of beech, which were cut from two trees planted by the queen and the duke of edinburgh at rhs wisley. and i found that very touching, that the king's parents planted those trees and now we are... they have cut a few branches off them for us to have in the abbey for his coronation. those travelling by train this coronation weekend will get to hear a special announcement. as part of the celebrations, the king and queen consort have recorded this message. my wife and i wish you and your families a wonderful coronation weekend. wherever you are travelling, we hope you have a safe and pleasant journey. and, remember, please mind the gap. the message will be played at railway stations across the country as well as on the london underground.

not too bad a drinking point... ahead of the weekend's celebrations, the prince and princess of wales visited the dog and duck, a pub in soho in london, to support the work of the hospitality industry, which is, not surprisingly, expecting to be busy. as final preparations for the coronation weekend are perfected, the king will spend his day meeting leaders. later, on the eve of his coronation, the king will be hosting a reception at buckingham palace for foreign royalty and overseas dignitaries. close to westminster abbey, people are already lining the procession route. huge crowds are expected to descend on the capital to witness what will be an historic occasion. and millions of others will be watching in the uk and around the world. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

charles has had to do his own preparations, rehearsals going on, just to get it absolutely right. what we know about what he has been doing today? you what we know about what he has been doin: toda ? ., ., what we know about what he has been doing today?— doing today? you would think he would be having _ doing today? you would think he would be having a _ doing today? you would think he would be having a quiet - doing today? you would think he would be having a quiet time - doing today? you would think he i would be having a quiet time ahead of tomorrow. this is a massive global event and he has been busy. people are travelling to london from all over to go to westminster abbey tomorrow. today, the king has a lunch with governor general and prime ministers of the round. king charles is also head of state in 1a other rams, apart from the uk. he also has a meeting with the commonwealth leaders, he is the head of the commonwealth as well. this evening still no rest. a glittering reception for the heads of state coming to the country. a really busy day today. maybe it is a good thing and he does not have to think about tomorrow with their nerves. the

street cleaning is going on and i have seen security as well. so much securi . have seen security as well. so much security- the _ have seen security as well. so much security. the cars _ have seen security as well. so much security. the cars are _ have seen security as well. so much security. the cars are going - have seen security as well. so much security. the cars are going by - have seen security as well. so much security. the cars are going by at i security. the cars are going by at the moment but road closures will be coming in soon. the security operation is the biggest this country has seen for many years. we are obsessed with the weather. mild at the moment and matt will keep us up—to—date throughout the morning. there is a chance to flypast, which has been planned but may be put off or delayed, we are not quite sure. that is quite reflective to what happened 70 years ago. the weather 70 years ago was dreadful. the people sleeping on the mall then, they got absolutely drenched. the mod said there is a 50—50 chance to flypast, which was meant to happen at 2:30pm, after their waving from the balcony, it is obviously a real

highlight but the weather is the weather. if the weather is not safe, they will not fly. in 1953 they had exactly the same conversations. in the end the flypast did go ahead but it was delayed by a couple of hours and fingers crossed for that. you have been talking to people. always fascinatin: have been talking to people. always fascinating talking _ have been talking to people. always fascinating talking to _ have been talking to people. always fascinating talking to people - have been talking to people. always fascinating talking to people who i fascinating talking to people who were there. it was a huge event in their lives. i was very lucky to speak to three of them and this is what they said. i didn't think one ever expects to be invited. i mean, it's an honour. and if one is fortunate enough to be invited, then you're very, very pleased. a first cousin to queen elizabeth ii. sir simon bowes—lyon, headed from university to westminster abbey on the 2nd ofjune1953. he, along with his sister and parents, all had front row seats. that was the moment when the big

historical moment was just happening in front of one's eyes. at that moment, the queen was recognised as being the queen. when you actually saw the crown being put on her head, that had a sort of finality about it. so they're obviously faded, but this was tell me this was the original colour. so it was quite a bright blue. yes. well, i mean, the others have just faded. that was kept upstairs out of the sunlight. the bowes—lyon family bought the two chairs sir simon's parents sat on at the coronation of george vi and the four chairs from 1953. tomorrow, he will once again take his seat in the abbey. church music remains a big part of richard watt�*s life. 70 years ago, he was the youngest chorister in the westminster abbey choir

school. aged just nine, he found himself singing at the queen's coronation. the first time we sang was when the choir came in for singing i was glad. this is the greeting of the sovereign. # i was glad. # regina.# and this is a huge sound and the impact on myself as a nine—year—old, never having sung with an orchestra before, apart from once in the rehearsals, was a great, great event. and i remember that sound pretty much to this day because this was the start of the whole thing. and, in a sense, after that start, we're on autopilot because we knew exactly what the script was, knew exactly what music we had to do, and the only time we're let off the leash, i guess, is when we're singing god save the queen. newsreel: through admiralty

arch comes the coach. - after the ceremony, the queen and prince philip went on a procession around central london. tens of thousands of people packed the capital's streets trying to get a glimpse of the newly—crowned monarch. watching on from a balcony of the piccadilly hotel was christian lamb. and do you remember at all seeing the queen, the coach with the queen passing by? well, you could see the queen inside the windowjust about, and you sort of could see prince philip as well. but you could hardly make them out. but you realise that it was a moment for them. and a moment for you as well to be seeing that going past? of course. just to sort of sum up your day, coronation day, 1953. well, what can one say? it was a marvellous day. it was a brilliant, historic moment in my life. and ijust think it was one of the most extraordinary happenings you don't expect to live through.

70 years after waving from the balcony next to his mother, tomorrow, king charles will wear the crown. sarah campbell, bbc news. of course we will have lots more coverage here from westminster. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. charlie will be packed with analysis of the local elections and the later sport. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the conservative party has lost control of brentwood in essex — one of the areas where local elections were held yesterday. it was a better night for the conservatives in other parts of the council after holding on to basildon and harlow. they also held on to control in thurrock

despite recent finanical difficulties and debt of more than a billion pounds. there was no change in southend, rochford or castlpoint — all in essex. the leader of the labour party for thurrockjohn kent remains positive. the labour party has gained five seats here in thurrock. that's the best set of results we've had for many, many years in thurrock. equally as importantly, the people of thurrock have given their verdict on the conservatives' catastrophic mismanagement of the council finances. the leader of the council has lost his seat. people have said what you've done is just untenable and they've had to pay the price. in hertfordshire, hertsmere changed hands over night with the conservatives losing their overal control. labour held on to stevenage and reading in berkshire while in broxbourne the conservative's continue to run it. and you can get the latest results as they come in on the bbc election live page —

head over the website or search "bbc election live page". it's also worth saying there were no local elections taking place this time in london. from today passengers on london's underground will be able to hear a specially recorded message from king charles and queen camilla. the announcement, which includes a reminder to "please mind the gap" will be played on the tube and at every station on the rail network over the course of the weekend. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, i'm sure any wet weather won't dampen the spirits too much this coronation bank holiday weekend, but it is set to turn rather unsettled. really from today onwards there's plenty of rain to come in the forecast but it won't be wet all the time. and there'll be some bright and some sunny spells. temperatures at or above the seasonal average.

this morning it's a cloudy and a mild start to the day. there will be some showers tracking north—eastwards on a south—westerly wind. it will brighten up somewhat into the afternoon but by then, some of the showers could turn heavy and even thundery in nature. top temperatures peaking between 16—18. then we look out towards the south—west on saturday morning. this clump of rain is set to be tracking its way north—eastwards as we head through the morning, so we are likely to see some wet weather then. and there'll be some showers, possibly some brighter spells, as we get through the afternoon. sunday looks like the drier day of the three. there could be one or two light showers around perhaps. temperatures will rise to around 17—18. on monday, there'll be some more showers around at times. that's it. much more on all of the election results as they come in online, here and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now lets go back to charlie.

hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty in london for the build up to the coronation. let's focus on the local elections now. counting is under way and results are coming in from across england. 0ur political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, has the latest analysis from our london newsroom. david, i know it's early days but it's something we're going to hear a lot about it, in terms of the overall results, but what is the picture we have so far? 50. overall results, but what is the picture we have so far? so, charlie, the first thing _ picture we have so far? so, charlie, the first thing to _ picture we have so far? so, charlie, the first thing to stress _ picture we have so far? so, charlie, the first thing to stress is _ picture we have so far? so, charlie, the first thing to stress is most - the first thing to stress is most councils are not counting overnight. they will encounter throughout the day to day which will give us a clearer picture of how things look but when you make any comparisons, we are comparing back to the 2019 local elections, very bad for the conservatives, it wasn't great for labour. the lib dems managed to do quite well so let's look at the changes in terms of counsellor numbers so far. labour gaining over

100 overnight, the conservatives losing almost 180 and the lib dems gaining around 50, so looking positive so far for labour and the lib dems, not great for the conservatives. let's look at what that means in terms of councils, changing hands, labour have gained three just in the last few moments. medway in kent has gone to them and the conservatives have lost six councils. let's have a look at one of those conservative councils that have been lost. heart smear. this is a very traditional area, the council has been conservatives since 2009. in terms of house of commons, it's a parliamentary seat of the deputy prime minister 0liver dowden but is conservative no more, it's become a hung council. no overall control, no party has a majority and that's because the conservatives won 16 counsellors are needed 20 to get a majority. let's look at the change in seats which has led to that. it conservatives losing 13, labour

gaining seven, the lib dems gaining six. we can also have a look at an area where labour will be quite happy with how it's gone, plymouth in the south—west. now, this had been lost to no overall control from labour in 2021, but they got it back, it's a labour gain, a labour council again. 31 seats for labour, 29 needed for a majority said labour will be very happy with that result in plymouth. we can look at the changes in the seats. labour gaining five councillors, the conservatives losing eight. the independence gaining three. big local issues then at the cutting down of trees in the city centre. we look at the share of the boat there, labour gaining 45%, the boat there, labour gaining 45%, the conservatives on 25. let's have a look at how that change from the local elections in 2019. the labour vote by 8%. the conservative vote down by 12%. why is plymouth interesting? well, if labour wants to form the next government in a westminster sense, there are two

parliamentary seats in plymouth currently labour have won, the conservatives have the other, but labour would probably need to win both of them ever and want to see keir starmer going into number ten so labour will be heartened to see progress in this area. if there's anything you want to track on local election results, you can look at the bbc news online or on the app. you can put in your postcode and it will tell you what's happening locally if your council is having an election, and it's changed hands, what's happening in terms of councillors but most of the county will take place throughout the day today. will take place throughout the day toda . ., ., ~' will take place throughout the day toda . ., ., ., today. looking ahead through the rest of the day, _ today. looking ahead through the rest of the day, there _ today. looking ahead through the rest of the day, there is _ today. looking ahead through the rest of the day, there is a - today. looking ahead through the rest of the day, there is a point i rest of the day, there is a point during the day when a lot of the results are effectively put into an algorithm and that is when people start to look at what these votes would mean in different circumstances looking ahead. that's ri . ht, circumstances looking ahead. that's riaht, so circumstances looking ahead. that's right. so we — circumstances looking ahead. that's right, so we will— circumstances looking ahead. that's right, so we will have _ circumstances looking ahead. that's right, so we will have professor - right, so we will have professor john curtis, the pollster, giving us his analysis and his take on what

exactly this means in terms of shares across great britain. it everywhere in great britain had voted today, how would these results have looked. that's really a key moment in today's counting because that gives us an idea how these scenes, not directly comparable, how these councils would translate into if the whole of great britain had been voting and of course, that's what the parties are looking at with half an eye on an upcoming general election within the next year, 18 months. �* , . ~ months. david, we'll be back with ou months. david, we'll be back with you throughout — months. david, we'll be back with you throughout the _ months. david, we'll be back with you throughout the morning - months. david, we'll be back with i you throughout the morning because months. david, we'll be back with - you throughout the morning because i know there's a few more results expected while you're on air so we will see you then. thank you very much. not many results insofar but there are one or two. one of labour's major gains overnight was in stoke—on—trent. elizabeth glinka was there and sent us this report. it has been a really good night for the labour party here in stoke—on—trent. they poured in resources to this north staffordshire council area, hoping to win it and in the event they did not

just by a small amount, but increasingly by far more than they were expecting. now labour lost control of this council back in 2015 and it was that really marked a downturn for the party in this part of the world. they went on to lose one of the areas labour mps in 2017 and then the other two in the collapse of the red wall in 2019. so winning this council back is really seen as a first step in trying to regain those seats for the labour party at the next general election. there have been a huge amount of resources heaped in here, visits from sir keir starmer and lots of other frontbenchers. it seems on the night that has paid off and the labour party now think they're moving in the right direction in this part of the midlands. that was stoke—on—trent. no doubt this morning you want to find out what happened, if the results are in where you are so of course check on the bbc news website. all the

details will be there as and when the results come in. the time now is 6.37. two years on from the kremlin's full scale invasion, life in ukraine is unrecognisable, but it's also changed day—to—day life in russia. 0ur russia editor, steve rosenberg, who lives in moscow, reports on this personal reflection on what's happening around him. people often ask me, what does it feel like in moscow right now? to sum up in a word, it feels surreal. i mean, on the surface, there is this air of normality. the weather's getting warmer. there are people out strolling in the spring sunshine relaxing. but, in reality, there is nothing normal about what is happening here right now. we're seeing repression accelerating. recently, a kremlin critic was sent

to prison for a quarter of a century for treason. that's vladimir kara—murza. and we saw a us reporter, who's well known to us here, arrested for spying. that's evan gershkovich. and then, of course, as you go round the city, you see these constant reminders of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine, the so—called special military operation. normality? hardly. then again, perhaps this is the new normal. there seems to be a big push now in russia to recruit more soldiers to fight in ukraine. you see the recruitment ads everywhere. they're on billboards. they're in shop windows. there's one on the door of the barber shop that i go to. meanwhile, moscow is gearing up for victory day, the national holiday that marks the defeat of nazi germany. and as that day approaches, there's definitely a sense

of nervousness here. some russian regions have actually cancelled their military parades, citing security concerns, fearing, ithink, possible ukrainian attacks. the parade in moscow on red square will go ahead as planned, but red square itself has been shut off, closed to the public, since the end of april. that's quite unusual and i think reflects the sense of unease here. when i visited a world war two museum in moscow recently, i was reminded of how the russian authorities used the past to try to justify the present. not only do they celebrate here the glorious soviet victory over nazi germany, they also portray the war in ukraine as something like the second world war to make the russian public believe that again today russia is fighting the good fight,

defending the motherland. there was a separate exhibition on here all about the special military operation, where they make direct parallels between soviet soldiers killed in world war two and russian soldiers killed today. the war in ukraine isn't over, but already it's in the museum of victory. its participants are museum pieces in a multimedia experience. it's become part of the official narrative of russia's glorious history. but, in reality, world war two and the war in ukraine are completely different. nazi germany invaded the soviet union, but russia invaded ukraine.

steve rosenberg there. that time there were 6.41. time now for a look at the sport. unrivalled celebrations in napoli. it's been fantastic. if you were to name a football great, diego maradona, it would be the first name to spring to mind and it was his old team who have won the league in italy for the first time since he used to pay for them, the last time they won, 33 years ago. massive celebrations. you can imagine, can't you? the celebrations went long into the night as napoli ended their 33—year wait for a league title in italy. they only needed a point at udinese, and afterfaling a goal behind, victor 0simhen struck his 22nd goal of the season ensuring it finished one all, giving napoli an unassailable 16 point lead at the top of the table. the players were mobbed after a pitch invasion at full time. it is their first league title since diego maradona captained them to glory in 1990.

and, as you can imagine, the party continued into the small hours. these were the scenes in the city of naples after that win, with a celebration more than three decades in the making. no doubt plenty of sore heads this morning. back in britain there wasn't quite the same level of excitement in brighton last night, but roberto de zerbi's side got some revenge on manchester united. just a fortnight ago, they lost to united in the fa cup semifinal on penalties, well last night, it was a penalty which settled this one. the referee had to take several looks at it, but eventually decided this was a handball by united's luke shaw. that gave brighton's alexis macallister the chance to win it, in the ninth minute of injury time. it was the only goal of the game as brighton give their hopes of reaching europe for the first time, a big boost. they're sixth, and manager de zerbi said it was redemption.

we deserved to win. we deserved to win in a semifinal. and we lost in penalty. and today we won nine penalty. because there is a... he confers. there is a god of football. arsenal's women's manager jonas eidevall has called for more research into a spate of serious knee injuries in the women's game. austrian defender laura wienroither has now become the fourth gunners' player to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury this season. shejoins england stars leah williamson and beth mead who will both miss the world cup. their top striker vivianne miedema was the first to suffered the injury this season. she posted this picture of the four of them on social media saying "at least we will all be in the gym together". it can take up to a year for players to recover from acl injures. arsenal, without those four, take on leicester in the wsl this evening.

in scotland, rangers beat celtic in the women's premier league. the only goal of the game came for the visitors in the second half. a great strike from kirsty howat. the win lifts rangers level with their rivals, although both sides are five points behind the league leaders glasgow city with four games remaining. there was one of the games of the season so far in superleague, with top—of—the—table wigan warriors beaten at hull fc. the black and whites have struggled for most of the season but a man of the match performance from jake clifford, including this try, was enough for a 14—10 win. at the european wheelchair rugby championships in cardiff, great britain have played two and won two. yesterday they saw off switzerland by 47 points to 31. they comfortably beat israel 55—32 in their opening match. britain face denmark next tonight. and the former england 7s rugby internationaljodie 0unsley has

announced a rather unusual transfer. she currently plays for the exeter chiefs in the premier 15s, but will leave the club and from now on will be known as "fury" as she joins the the tv series gladiators. the show is being rebooted by the bbc and it's clearly a lifelong dream for her. jodie's father was actually a contender in the original series and she posted this photo of her, together with a little footage of her on some monkey bars as a child. "i am absolutely buzzing" she said on social media, adding it was "truly surreal" to have the chance to be a gladiator. so her dad was a contender. i know are you are doing that. john anderson was the referee. famously the voice of gladiators. yes, and you want me to do the impression, don't you? contender, ready? can

gladiator, ready? three, two, one... we are all taken right back to the moment. do you want to introduce matt at buckingham palace doing the weather? you will go on my first whistle. laughter perfect. brings back all those memories. i love it. yes, let's get on with a forecast. we start by taking a look behind me, in this iconic location, stunning, isn't it, here at buckingham palace? whilst the coronation takes place at westminster abbey tomorrow, a lot of focus will be here, the kings procession starts just behind me at 1020 tomorrow morning. it returns not long after one o'clock and of course, the crucial thing is will there be a fly past? during the afternoon, we'll have some pretty low cloud around. it will improve through the day but that cloud base will be crucial as to whether it's safe enough to take that fly—past.

let's look at the all—important forecast for coronation day. there will be some problems with the weather, notjust for the will be some problems with the weather, not just for the fly—past but for anyone coming down. bring some waterproofs because there will be rain at times, heaviest on and off around mid—morning to the afternoon before things gradually improve. as for the rest of us, getting back to today they will be downpours around but a little bit of sunshine at times too especially during the afternoon. we start fairly cloudy. the clodius conditions across northern england and southern and eastern scotland, outbreaks of rain at the moment and some heavy showers in southern counties, south wales, drifting northwards but as they go sky is brightening. a bit more sunshine but then the showers become heavy and thundery. cloud across eastern scotland, northern scotland, strong to gale force winds. a cool day but elsewhere sunshine between the downpours. temperatures up to around 18—19. tonight, it remains windy with further rain at times.

elsewhere, the showers will gradually fade for a while but more wet weather returns toward want a south—west later in the night. and it shouldn't be too cold. temperatures generally around 7—10. so, into that important day. it all comes down to what happens, an area of low pressure edging its way in from the south—west. that will be the spine to weather conditions at least. it will have a main impact across england and wales starting with the rain across parts of south wales, south—west england, spreading across the midlands, southern england, east anglia and into northern england through the day. heavier bursts at times. improving from the south—west later. still cloudy and cool to the north and east of scotland but the rest of scotland, northern ireland should see a little bit of sunshine and one or two showers. cooler than today, especially where that rain is falling. as we go into sunday, though, rain will be just across eastern areas to begin with but that will clear through. the best day of the entire coronation weekend, we will see the sun come out. looking good for the coronation concert for

windsor later in the day but northern ireland and western scotland will see rain in the afternoon after a reasonably bright start. in the sunshine, where you've got it, the warmest day of the weekend, 21. wet weather overnight, lingering into bank holiday monday. some showers heavy and thundery at times but brightening up in western scotland and northern ireland later. pleasant enough when the sun is out but not a huge amount on bank holiday monday. plenty of cloud across central england and eastern scotland once again. that is how the conditions are looking through the extended coronation weekend. it's a little bit cloudy here at the moment, but i think we are just about avoiding the showers. back to you. we absolutely are. typical weather for a bank holiday weekend here in the uk. it's fascinating looking around here. the breeze has dropped. earlier that flag on top of westminister abbey was flying quite proudly but has dropped a little bit, slightly grey skies know, they

were hazy blue early on and don't underestimate how big a security operation this is. we've seen the streets being washed, and the street cleaners out. i've been able to talk to some of the security team is here as well. the underwater confined space team from the metropolitan police, one of theirjobs today is to go down into the sewers to do a security sweep and into the westminster abbey crypt as well. 20 separate manhole covers, will be investigated. they will dip down into the sewers and then sealing those or not. it's all regular parts of the security sweep for big events like this. of course like the coronation, a team of seven going down and spending seven hours down there today so think of them if you are worried about the weather. the excitement is building ahead of the weekends events and people are coming together to be part of it. it's not just here in london that people are getting excited.

streets parties have been planned across the uk. the town of brixham in devon is planning five days of celebration. 0ur reporter, fiona lamdin is there for us — fiona, what's the atmosphere in brixham this morning? so if you can imagine a fishing town combined with coronation, this is what it's like sony got some dramas. give us a bit of a drum. they will get ready for the coronation. they will be here all weekend. 0ver get ready for the coronation. they will be here all weekend. over here we have got some breakfast going on. there's so many events planned. if we just come over to you, good morning. just give me a sense, how many different events have you got happening in brixham this weekend? we are holding approximately a0 we are holding approximately 40 different activities, the vast majority_ different activities, the vast majority of which will actually be indoors — majority of which will actually be indoors. so they will actually be things— indoors. so they will actually be things like the riviera singers performing in the methodist church, on saturday afternoon, following a live showing of the coronation at

local election results for some areas around london have been announced. in essex, the conservative party held on to thurrock — despite recent finanical difficulties and debt of more than £1 billion. they lost control of brentwood and kept control of basildon and harlow. there was no change in southend, rochford or castlepoint. in brentwood the liberal democrasts came close to taking it from the tories and say despite no winning it was still a good night. a fantastic result for the liberal democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and are democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and are now democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and are now up democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and are now up to democrats and one of the safest tory seats in the country. we have gained three seats and are now up to 17 seats. the council moves into overall control. it is a time of change in brentwood, we are really delighted, fantastic years. there were no local elections in london this year. but, in hertfordshire, hertsmere changed hands over night labour

—— with the conservatives losing their overal control. labour held on to stevenage and reading in berkshire, while, in broxbourne, the conservatives continue to run it. and you can get the latest results as they come in on the bbc election live page — the address if on your screen. in other news... the family of a woman, who was stabbed to death by a stranger in south london, has described her as "smart, dedicated and loving." johanita dogbey was attacked in brixton on monday afternoon. a 33—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on tuesday and remains in police custody. from today, passengers on london's underground will be able to hear a specially—recorded message from king charles and queen camilla. the announcement, which includes a reminder to "please mind the gap" will be played on the tube and at every station on the rail network over the course of the weekend. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there.

good morning. well, i'm sure any wet weather won't dampen the spirits too much this coronation bank holiday weekend, but it is set to turn rather unsettled. really from today onwards there's plenty of rain to come in the forecast but it won't be wet all the time. and there'll be some bright and some sunny spells. temperatures at or above the seasonal average. this morning it's a cloudy and a mild start to the day. there will be some showers tracking north—eastwards on a south—westerly wind. it will brighten up somewhat into the afternoon but by then, some of the showers could turn heavy and even thundery in nature. top temperatures peaking between 16—18. then we look out towards the south—west on saturday morning. this clump of rain is set to be tracking its way north—eastwards as we head through the morning, so we are likely to see some wet weather then. and there'll be some showers, possibly some brighter spells, as we get through the afternoon. sunday looks like the drier day of the three. there could be one or two light showers around perhaps. temperatures will rise to around 17—18. on monday, there'll be some more

showers around at times. much more on all of the election results as they come in online, here and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, good morning. welcome to breakfast. 0ur headlines today... the first results from england's local elections. early counts have seen labour

and the liberal democrats taking council seats from the conservatives. cheering. labour take control of plymouth and stoke — two of its key targets. we've taken back control of the council and that is a stepping stone to a labour government and i am truly delighted. good morning from westminster abbey, where the final preparations for the king's coronation are under way. ahead of the biggest state occasion in decades, a lighter note from the king and queen consort — this special announcement for rail passengers travelling this weekend. my wife and i wish you and your families a wonderful coronation weekend. wherever you are travelling, we hope you have a safe and pleasant journey. and, remember, please mind the gap. will we be having to mind the rain on coronation day? the forecast is

not great at the moment. details on that. there will be an extended bank holiday weekend. the full forecast to take you through here on breakfast. it's friday, the 5th of may. our main story. the first results are in from the local elections in england, with labour and the liberal democrats both taking council seats from the conservatives. more than 8,000 councillors will be chosen, in a vote which is seen as the first big test of rishi sunak�*s electoral popularity since becoming prime minister. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake has the latest. cheering. celebration in stoke—on—trent. a key victory for labour overnight. they took control of the city council of debaters here and across england gave their verdict. ballots are being counted in some

of the 200 or so towns, cities and rural areas across england where voters have had their say on who should run local services. also giving a sense of the national, political picture. the tories were braced for a bad night. when labour took plymouth the city's conservative mp accepted his party was being punished. it conservative mp accepted his party was being punished.— was being punished. it has been a terrible night _ was being punished. it has been a terrible night for _ was being punished. it has been a terrible night for us _ was being punished. it has been a terrible night for us here - was being punished. it has been a terrible night for us here in - terrible night for us here in plymouth. a number of factors are at play. locally it has been very difficult. the local group has been through a very difficult time. we have seen are reflected on the doors and in results tonight. we take it on the chin. and in results tonight. we take it on the chin-— on the chin. labour have made stead , on the chin. labour have made steady. if _ on the chin. labour have made steady. if not _ on the chin. labour have made steady, if not overwhelming i on the chin. labour have made - steady, if not overwhelming gains, but enough they claim to put them on course to win a general election. through this evening you have seen a bad night for the tories, a good night for labour, whether in stoke,

hartlepool, teesside, or in plymouth. tomorrow we will get in dover and see what is happening in brighton and callie and the rest of the south—east. the reason is we have not got a credible alternative. the liberal democrats were cheering the loudest. gains were ground—breaking, the party claimed. a fantastic result for the liberal democrats in one of the safest tory seats _ democrats in one of the safest tory seats in _ democrats in one of the safest tory seats in the — democrats in one of the safest tory seats in the country. we are now up to 17 _ seats in the country. we are now up to 17 seats — seats in the country. we are now up to 17 seats. the council moves into overall— to 17 seats. the council moves into overall control. it is a time of change — overall control. it is a time of change in _ overall control. it is a time of change in brentwood and we are really _ change in brentwood and we are really delighted. fantastic news. only a _ really delighted. fantastic news. only a quarter of the holding elections have been panted overnight. —— of those holding elections. local contexts will be

closely watched as a real test for all of the parties. we'rejoined now by shabana mahmood mp, we are cautioning people, it is early days as we speak. just after seven o'clock on friday morning. give us your sense of what you have seen so far. it give us your sense of what you have seen so far-— seen so far. it is early days. we have seen _ seen so far. it is early days. we have seen a _ seen so far. it is early days. we have seen a strong _ seen so far. it is early days. we have seen a strong set - seen so far. it is early days. we have seen a strong set of- seen so far. it is early days. we | have seen a strong set of results for the labour party. we are on course for a labour government at the next general election. we had been winning across the country, whether in the midlands, in stoke, in kent, the medway, teesside. we had seen success. we have seen success all over the country and thatis success all over the country and that is because we have been focusing on the number one issue facing voters everywhere, the cost of living crisis, for which we have

a plan. the tories have not been talking about it because they have crashed the economy. you talking about it because they have crashed the economy.— talking about it because they have crashed the economy. you used the words in your— crashed the economy. you used the words in your first _ crashed the economy. you used the words in your first answer, - crashed the economy. you used the words in your first answer, on - words in your first answer, on course for a general election. it is one thing to have a good set of local election results and it remains to be seen what that means, how confident are you it puts you on course for a general election? these results would _ course for a general election? these results would have _ course for a general election? these results would have us _ course for a general election? these results would have us winning - course for a general election? these results would have us winning in - course for a general election? tire results would have us winning in key battleground constituencies, like stevenage, grimsby, hartlepool. on these results we would also be winning seats such as dudley north and dudley south, the win we need to take their seats in the general election is over 15%. based on these results we would take those seats in a general election. that is why these results show we are on course for a majority labour government at the next general election. the

reality check _ the next general election. the reality check as _ the next general election. the reality check as it _ the next general election. the reality check as it is _ the next general election. the reality check as it is perfectly conceivable that people's dismay with the conservative party is what this set of election result is really about rather than warmth or enthusiasm for what labour is offering right now. the enthusiasm for what labour is offering right now.— offering right now. the tories haven't spent _ offering right now. the tories haven't spent a _ offering right now. the tories haven't spent a single - offering right now. the tories haven't spent a single day - offering right now. the tories haven't spent a single day of| offering right now. the tories i haven't spent a single day of the local election campaign talking about the number one issue facing families and households all over the country, the cost of living crisis. the reason for that is they know they crashed the economy, rishi sunak does not know how to fix it and local voters are punishing the tories and rishi sunak for that failure. contrast that with the voters we are winning over in the seat we need to take for a majority labour government, we have been talking about the cost of living crisis. we had a credible alternative to help people through the cost of living crisis. that is what we are seeing with these results which would have us on course for a labour government at the next general election. you will be very aware _

the next general election. you will be very aware that _ the next general election. you will be very aware that political - the next general election. you will be very aware that political parties have done well in local elections and that has not simply translated into a win at a general election. there is a long way between those two things. meanwhile you have the conservative party, for example, saying people have yet to see the rishi sunak success story, it has only been seven months and there is a long way between now and then. it a long way between now and then. ht might have been seven months for rishi sunak as prime minister but he has been part of the government for a lot younger than that. we have seen a failure on the cost of living crisis in the economy more broadly which they crashed a few months ago and in public services, which are theissues and in public services, which are the issues that have been coming up on doorsteps all over the country. i take nothing for granted. i know there is a long road between now and there is a long road between now and the general election. these results show we are on course for our best local election performance since 1997, we are on course to be the largest party in local government

and that is a very strong base to build and as we look ahead to the next general election. we take a lot of confidence and heart from the fact that when you map these results onto the constituencies we need to win we will take key seats with big margins required for us to take theirs. a strong set of results which show we are on course. let me ask ou which show we are on course. let me ask you one — which show we are on course. let me ask you one more _ which show we are on course. let me ask you one more thing, _ which show we are on course. let me ask you one more thing, if— which show we are on course. let me ask you one more thing, if i - which show we are on course. let me ask you one more thing, if i may - which show we are on course. let me ask you one more thing, if i may one| ask you one more thing, if i may one more question, about the liberal democrats. it may well be and these are early days but it may well be this is a very good set of local election results for them. they may well say they are the party on the rise. j well say they are the party on the rise. ~' , ., well say they are the party on the rise. ~' i. ., , , rise. i think if you map these results onto _ rise. i think if you map these results onto constituencies i rise. i think if you map these | results onto constituencies to decide the next general election, it is clear the labour party is on course for a majority government at the next general election. we will have to wait and see when we have all the results. it is not unusual for smaller parties to have a good performance in local elections. when we look in the round, over the course of the day when we get more

results in, it will show the labour party is on course, based on these results, to get a majority at the next general election. i results, to get a majority at the next general election.— results, to get a majority at the next general election. i have been t in: to next general election. i have been trying to do _ next general election. i have been trying to do a _ next general election. i have been trying to do a tally _ next general election. i have been trying to do a tally of _ next general election. i have been trying to do a tally of how- next general election. i have been trying to do a tally of how many i trying to do a tally of how many times he had said that, i think it is five. we will be speaking to the other party is of course during the programme. other party is of course during the programme-— other party is of course during the rouramme. ~ ., i. _, programme. where are you counting? did ou aet programme. where are you counting? did you get the _ programme. where are you counting? did you get the message? _ programme. where are you counting? did you get the message? draw- programme. where are you counting? did you get the message? draw us i did you get the message? draw us back from that. _ did you get the message? draw us back from that. someone - did you get the message? draw us back from that. someone who - did you get the message? draw us back from that. someone who is l did you get the message? draw us i back from that. someone who is the national campaign coordinator will say that. draw us back in from what this immediate picture is.— this immediate picture is. labour, for ares, this immediate picture is. labour, for ages. had _ this immediate picture is. labour, for ages, had been _ this immediate picture is. labour, for ages, had been saying - this immediate picture is. labour, for ages, had been saying we - this immediate picture is. labour, | for ages, had been saying we know this immediate picture is. labour, - for ages, had been saying we know we are doing really well in the polls but we will not get complacent. they are being bowled same, we are on course for the next election win and you can see why. he has said it and i will say again, it is early days with only a fraction of election results so far. they are doing well in parts of the country they want to land in different parts of the

country, like plymouth, the south—west, stoke. they can point to theirs and saying we are making inroads where we need to. it is a bad night for the conservatives were no doubt about that. he made the point the liberal democrats are doing really well. the conservatives will be looking at that and saying we are facing a challenge on two france. in seats like maidenhead, the lib dems are doing really well on that local authority as well. it is a worry for the conservatives. they will look at this and think, perhaps rishi sunak can pull it back but this is an early test of his premiership after seven months, their first premiership after seven months, theirfirst big premiership after seven months, their first big widespread test. it their first big widespread test. it is not looking good. if you were to try to draw the attention of our audience to a place to kind of illustrate something that is happening that has not happened for sometime, where would you point us? i would go medway in kent. that is a really important council. labour has taken that and it has been

conservative for 20 years. it voted for brexit to leave. that has been one of the challenges for the labour party, to get places like that to support the labour party. they have done that in medway in kent and that is a symbolic result. they have done that in stoke—on—trent and plymouth as well. also where the lib dems are chipping away at what they call the blue wall, the home counties, southern areas by the conservatives had dominated for decades and the lib dems are making inroads. that really the conservatives basing it on both sides.— really the conservatives basing it on both sides. ~ ., ., ., , on both sides. what we do on these occasions and _ on both sides. what we do on these occasions and this _ on both sides. what we do on these occasions and this will— on both sides. what we do on these occasions and this will happen - occasions and this will happen throughout the day, we listen quite carefully to the losers. this morning, for example, mentioned it was kent, wasn't it? you were talking about medway. you had the conservative leader of the council are trying to account for what happened. what has changed and what was he hearing on the doorstep? why

had they lost? we listen quite carefully to what they say about what has affected the vote. these eo - le what has affected the vote. these people had _ what has affected the vote. these people had been _ what has affected the vote. these people had been knocking - what has affected the vote. these people had been knocking on - what has affected the vote. tyre people had been knocking on doors and pounding on paper listening to people in their areas for a long time. some of the conservative councillors losing their seats have been saying the national picture has played a part. these are local elections and i will have been local issues in places like plymouth where the council chopped down a load of trees. that wound everyone up. what we hearing from conservative councillors, including in kent, they are saying the noise around the national picture has dented chances on the doorstep. what the national conservative party will do is work out whether that is about what has happened in the past 12 months, change of prime minister and change of prime minister, the impact on the economy or whether people are fed up with the conservatives over a longer period. that is what they will try to calculate. and they pull anything

back before the next general election? thank you. all the local election results will be available online. to see who won in your area, you can use our postcode checker, which is available on the bbc news website and on our app. the details will be emerging throughout the day as the counts come in. rail travellers are facing more disruption after members of the rmt union voted to continue taking strike action. around 20,000 workers, employed by 14 train companies, were eligible to take part in the ballot. the transport secretary, mark harper, insisted they'd been offered a fair pay deal and was disappointed by the decision. it's now possible that strikes could run until nearly the end of this year. the energy price cap is expected to fall to £2,060 per year from july for the average household. the latest analysis by experts at cornwall insight say it comes as the wholesale energy market stabilises, and there's less demand from consumers. but bills are still around £1,000

higher than they were in 2020. a jury in new york has decided that the singer, ed sheeran, did not copy marvin gaye's song, �*let�*s get it on' when he composed his hit, "thinking out loud". the heirs of marvin gaye's had argued that they were owed money for copyright infringement. our music correspondent, mark savage, has more. # will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?# thinking out loud is one of ed sheeran's biggest hits. in the uk alone, it has sold more than 4 million copies. but, shortly after it was released, he was accused of theft by the family of ed townsend, the co—writer of marvin gaye's let's get it on. here's how the songs sound when they're put into the same key. # i've been really trying, baby...# # my heart could

still for as hard...# # my heart could still fallas hard...# the lyrics and melody are different, but the underlying chords are similar. sheeran brought his guitar to the witness stand in new york and played those chords. he said they were the basic building blocks of pop music, used by everyone from dolly parton to elvis presley. the prosecution played what they called a smoking gun — this fan shot video of sheeran playing a medley of thinking out loud and let's get it on. # sha—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la # let's get it on # 0h, let's get it on.# due to a quirk of us copyright law, only the sheet music for marvin gaye's song was protected under law. that meant the jury wasn't able to compare the music recordings of the two songs side by side, and, in the end, they sided with ed sheeran. we spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords,

which are all so different and used by songwriters every day all over the world. they are in a songwriter�*s alphabet, our toolkit, and should be there for all of us to use. no—one owns them, or the way they are played in the same way that nobody owns the colour blue. for sheeran, the timing couldn't have been better. he releases a new album and goes back on tour this weekend. mark savage, bbc news. parents are being urged to make sure their children have had the mmrjab, following a rise in the number of people catching measles. there were 54 cases across england in the whole of last year compared with 49 in the first four months of 2023. the uk health security agency has described it as "very concerning." doctors say some children missed out on vaccinations because of disruption caused by covid and it's important that they catch up. nurseries, preschools and childminders arejoining calls for a review of 0fsted inspections. the charity, the early years alliance, says many find inspections stressful

and want a change to the use of the current grading system. teaching unions have been calling for this to be re—visited after a head teacher, ruth perry, took her own life after her school was downgraded. 0fsted says it wants inspections to be "as constructive as possible." now for the weather with matt, who's outside buckingham palace this morning. all the preparations are under way for the coronation tomorrow. it is ok now, i think, for the coronation tomorrow. it is ok now, ithink, but for the coronation tomorrow. it is ok now, i think, but worries about tomorrow. . ok now, i think, but worries about tomorrow— ok now, i think, but worries about tomorrow. ., , tomorrow. there are indeed. there is their chance — tomorrow. there are indeed. there is their chance of _ tomorrow. there are indeed. there is their chance of heavy _ tomorrow. there are indeed. there is their chance of heavy rain _ tomorrow. there are indeed. there is their chance of heavy rain around, i their chance of heavy rain around, especially late morning early afternoon. at the moment it is fairly quiet weather—wise. a hive of activity behind me. beautiful scene, 50,000 wallflowers and tulips just

in thurrock where they managed hold on to power despite recent finanical difficulties and debt of more than a billion pounds. it's been a tough night but that isn't really a surprise. as you well know, we've had very financially challenging circumstances here in thurrock. they've crystallised on our watch, so naturally, the electorate have given us a beating. i have to say, as you will have read the bvi inspection, that these problems have been a long time coming, and frankly extend way beyond us. and the libereral leader sir ed davey has said in the last few minutes his party has won control of windsor and maidenhead from the tories. many of the results have yet to come in with counting only getting under way this morning. and you can get the latest results as they come in on the bbc election live page. the address is on your screen now. a man's been charged with murder after a 31—year—old woman was stabbed

to death in brixton. johanita dogbey was killed in stockwell park walk on monday afternoon. mohamed nur is also accused of gbh after three other people suffered slash wounds in brixton within an hour of each other last saturday. the 33—year—old's due in court in croydon later. from today, passengers on london's underground will be able to hear a specially recorded message from king charles and queen camilla. the announcement, which includes a reminder to "please mind the gap", will be played on the tube and at every station on the rail network over the course of the weekend. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line has severe delays. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. well, i'm sure any wet weather won't dampen the spirits too much this coronation bank holiday weekend, but it is set to turn rather unsettled. really from today onwards there's plenty of rain to come in the forecast but it won't be wet all the time. and there'll be some bright and some sunny spells. temperatures at or above the seasonal average.

this morning it's a cloudy and a mild start to the day. there will be some showers tracking north—eastwards on a south—westerly wind. it will brighten up somewhat into the afternoon but by then, some of the showers could turn heavy and even thundery in nature. top temperatures peaking between 16—18. then we look out towards the south—west on saturday morning. this clump of rain is set to be tracking its way north—eastwards as we head through the morning, so we are likely to see some wet weather then. and there'll be some showers, possibly some brighter spells, as we get through the afternoon. sunday looks like the drier day of the three. there could be one or two light showers around perhaps. temperatures will rise to around 17—18. on monday, there'll be some more showers around at times. that's it. much more on all of the election results as they come in online, here and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now let's go back to charlie.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt, and naga munchetty in london, for the build up to the coronation. let's return to our coverage of the local elections now and results are continuing to come in from across england. our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, has the latest analysis from our london newsroom. he's been analysing what's come in so far and we cautioned this morning that only a relatively small proportion of those results in as we speak now?— speak now? that's right, charlie, the vast majority _ speak now? that's right, charlie, the vast majority of _ speak now? that's right, charlie, the vast majority of counting - speak now? that's right, charlie, the vast majority of counting is i the vast majority of counting is still to be done today but we are starting to see a picture of how things are looking for the parties. it looks like it's not going well at all for the conservatives. the lib dems looking very positive. labour looking good too but the big question for labour is is it good enough if this was replicated for a general election with sir keir starmer going to number ten? let's look at the latest cancer numbers.

labour up by 110. this is compared to local elections in 2019. the conservatives down by over 200. the lib dems gaining just short of 60 so far. what does that mean for councils changing hands? not a huge amount of turn but we wouldn't expect that. labour up by three, conservatives down by one council. let's look in detail at a couple of these. medway on the kent coast, this has been conservative since 2003. labour haven't had control of this council since 1998. that's until now because it has gone from conservative control to labour control and what will make labour particularly happy about winning this council is look at the leave vote from the 2016 referendum. 64% of medway voting for brexit so labour will be very heartened to see them making gains in areas like this. let's look at the change in seats, huge swing from conservative to labour, conservatives down by 13,

labour up by 11. windsor and maidenhead, in berkshire, an interesting one here because that has gone from conservative control to lib dems control, a remain voting area, so if you are rishi sunak, potentially quite concerned by these two councils in particular. one lost to labour and the other to the lib dems, facing challenges intentionally from both sides. this council had been conservative since 2017. windsor and maidenhead in terms of the house of commons, theresa may is the local mp there, 22 seats for the lib dems, and have a look here, they've gone up by 13, the conservatives down by 16. 0f the conservatives down by 16. of course, knows more seeds to talk about. if you want to see what's happening in your area, about. if you want to see what's happening in yourarea, go about. if you want to see what's happening in your area, go to bbc news online, the app, put in your postcode, and you can find out what happened locally but most of the counting is still to be done. david, thank ou counting is still to be done. david, thank you very _ counting is still to be done. david, thank you very much. _ counting is still to be done. david, thank you very much. that's - counting is still to be done. david, thank you very much. that's the i thank you very much. that's the analysis so far. we're joined now the greg hands mp,

the conservative party chairman. you might have caught a glimpse of him just behind david's charts. good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. first of all, can you give us overall your reaction to what you have seen and heard so far? obviously it's still early days, only about a quarter of the results of come and overall, it has been as predicted. disappointing night for the conservatives. all of the independent academic forecasters were out there saying we would lose a thousand seats. we've only counted about a quarter of them so far and it's a disappointing night. we have lost some well—run conservative councils, some excellent conservative councillors have lost their seats, so it's not been a good night overall for us. what their seats, so it's not been a good night overall for us.— night overall for us. why is it so bad? i night overall for us. why is it so bad? i think— night overall for us. why is it so bad? i think within _ night overall for us. why is it so bad? i think within that, - night overall for us. why is it so | bad? i think within that, though, there are areas _ bad? i think within that, though, there are areas which _ bad? i think within that, though, there are areas which have - bad? i think within that, though, there are areas which have been| there are areas which have been positive. we have gained seats in peterborough, in sandwell, in

passage, all areas that labour actually need to be showing a lot of progress in, so it's not been good for us but it's not been a uniformly good night for sir keir starmer�*s labour party. what we are now doing is getting on in government with delivering four people. it's been a difficult year for the country, a difficult year for the country, a difficult year for the country, a difficult year for the conservatives as well, vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine has driven inflation, energy prices higher, we are still doing with the consequences of that, and that is why we are getting on with dealing against the five priorities set out by the prime minister of having innovation, growing the economy, cutting the debt, reducing hospital waiting lists and stopping the boats. you emphasise _ lists and stopping the boats. you emphasise those things under your new leader rishi sunak, the prime minister, you are trying to get right now. it'sjust minister, you are trying to get right now. it's just not working. this is a clear vote showing that what you are doing now is not

working and those individuals, those councillors, are being voted out even though you said you are going to carry on doing what you're doing and doing the right thing. it’s to carry on doing what you're doing and doing the right thing.— and doing the right thing. it's not workinu. i and doing the right thing. it's not working. i said _ and doing the right thing. it's not working. i said it's _ and doing the right thing. it's not working. i said it's been - and doing the right thing. it's not working. i said it's been a - working. i said it's been a disappointing night for the conservatives. but i have to say, going up and down the country as i have done over the last month, 33 council areas, spoken to a lot of people on the doorsteps, and i would say two things people are saying, first of all, they respect rishi sunak as prime minister. i get to have a conversation on the doorstep that isn't improved by mentioning the name rishi sunak and thejob he is doing. clearly people have been dissatisfied with the government's performance last year, but i think they are willing to give rishi sunak team a chance and they recognise he is working very hard. flan team a chance and they recognise he is working very hard.— is working very hard. can i be clear, is working very hard. can i be clear. i'm _ is working very hard. can i be clear, i'm going _ is working very hard. can i be clear, i'm going to _ is working very hard. can i be clear, i'm going to interrupt i is working very hard. can i be i clear, i'm going to interrupt you is working very hard. can i be - clear, i'm going to interrupt you at this point, because what you are seeing so far to be clear is that the voting you have seen thus far and it's early days is that there is

and it's early days is that there is a sense people are giving rishi sunak a chance? by voting against him? i don't understand the logic because it sounds as if you are completely ignoring the voting that has happened and saying we are doing the right thing and they are voted against us but we are doing the right thing. i’m against us but we are doing the right thing-— against us but we are doing the riaht thin. �* . ., , ., ., right thing. i'm certainly not doing that, i'm accepting _ right thing. i'm certainly not doing that, i'm accepting the _ right thing. i'm certainly not doing that, i'm accepting the fact - right thing. i'm certainly not doing that, i'm accepting the fact the i that, i'm accepting the fact the conservatives had a bad night, but what i'm saying is what i am hearing on the doorstep is that people are giving rishi sunak a chance, receptive to the message he is setting out, agreeing with his five priorities, and equally i have met anybody at the door with any enthusiasm for sir keir starmer. now, of course labour have had some good results last night, but they also have had themselves where they frankly should be doing much better, places that they won, even under jeremy corbyn, like ipswich, like peterborough, like sandwell, like bassetlaw, like hartlepool, where

there wasn't a labour breakthrough last night so i think in many ways there is not enthusiasm therefore sir keir starmer. but people do respect rishi sunak getting on the job and delivering on those five priorities. job and delivering on those five riorities. . , ., job and delivering on those five riorities. ., , ., ., , job and delivering on those five riorities. ., . ., ., ., priorities. real you, as chairman of the -a , priorities. real you, as chairman of the party. you _ priorities. real you, as chairman of the party. you and _ priorities. real you, as chairman of the party, you and rishi _ priorities. real you, as chairman of the party, you and rishi sunak, - priorities. real you, as chairman of the party, you and rishi sunak, ii the party, you and rishi sunak, i don't know if you spoken to in this morning, we haven't heard from him yet, but will you be having an honest forthright conversation about what is going wrong? judging from what is going wrong? judging from what you're saying, that's the size of the conversation you're not going to have. ~ ., ., to have. well, look, what we are doinu is to have. well, look, what we are doing is we _ to have. well, look, what we are doing is we are _ to have. well, look, what we are doing is we are delivering - to have. well, look, what we are doing is we are delivering on - to have. well, look, what we are doing is we are delivering on the | doing is we are delivering on the five priorities that rishi sunak laid out which are clear priorities of having inflation,... i laid out which are clear priorities of having inflation,...— laid out which are clear priorities of having inflation, . .. of having inflation,... i don't want to no of having inflation,... i don't want to go through _ of having inflation,... i don't want to go through that _ of having inflation,... i don't want to go through that list _ of having inflation,... i don't want to go through that list again - to go through that list again because what's happening this morning as you have got results coming in wedge, to the outside eye you might think would cause concern in the conservative party, for you to have a conversation about what to do differently, so you are telling me that you are going to do the same thing now. that's what you're

saying, do more of the same. iaihfe thing now. that's what you're saying, do more of the same. we are deliverin: saying, do more of the same. we are delivering come _ saying, do more of the same. we are delivering come in _ saying, do more of the same. we are delivering come in the _ saying, do more of the same. we are delivering come in the middle - saying, do more of the same. we are delivering come in the middle of - delivering come in the middle of delivering come in the middle of delivering against those five priorities, the five priorities are not designed to be easy. we are in the middle of delivering on those and making sure we deliver what the people want the government to be doing. which is having inflation, restoring growth, cutting the debt, reducing hospital waiting lists, stopping the boats. that's what people want is to be doing, and that's what we will continue to track ourselves against, and of course it's been a disappointing night the party, i've lost council colleagues, councillors up and down the country very disappointing, with the country very disappointing, with the results, but equally i'm saying is not an overall breakthrough for labour in places they need to be winning and they need to new winning in places like peterborough, better in places like peterborough, better in places like ipswich, harlow, in sandwell, bassetlaw, many of those are placesjeremy corbyn won in 2017. i

victor 0simhen struck his 22nd goal of the season, ensuring it finished one all, giving napoli an unassailable 16—point lead at the top of the table. the players were mobbed after a pitch invasion at full time. look at that joy. it is their first league title since diego maradona captained them to glory in 1990. and, as you can imagine, the party continued into the small hours. these were the scenes in the city of naples after that win, with a celebration more than three decades in the making. no doubt plenty of sore heads this morning. it might still be continuing, in fact. back in britain, there wasn't quite the same level of excitement in brighton last night, but roberto de zerbi's side got some revenge on manchester united. just a fortnight ago, they lost to united in the fa cup semifinal on penalties, well last night, it was a penalty which settled this one. the referee had to take

several looks at it, but eventually decided this was a handball by united's luke shaw. that gave brighton's alexis macallister the chance to win it, in the ninth minute of injury time. he did so. it was the only goal of the game as brighton give their hopes of reaching europe for the first time a big boost. they're sixth, and manager de zerbi said, it was redemption. in scotland, rangers beat celtic in the women's premier league. the only goal of the game came for the visitors in the second half. a great strike from kirsty howat. the win lifts rangers level with their rivals, although both sides are five points behind the league leaders glasgow city with four games remaining. and the former england 7s rugby internationaljodie 0unsley has announced a rather unusual transfer. she currently plays for the exeter chiefs in the premier 15s, but will leave the club and willjoin the tv series

gladiators where she'll be known as "fury". the show is being rebooted by the bbc and it's clearly been a lifelong dream for her. that is her as a wee girl. jodie's father was actually a contender in the original series and she posted this photo of her, together with a little footage of her on some monkey bars as a child. "i am absolutely buzzing" she said on social media, adding it was "truly surreal" to have the chance to be a gladiator. an early training session, in fact. i'm really looking forward to seeing that. a great flashback, isn't it? good fun. thanks very much. now for the weather with matt, who's outside buckingham palace this morning. iimagine, by i imagine, by this time tomorrow, it's going to be heaving, isn't it? so many people there. we've seen the horses riding behind you there. iaihfhgt horses riding behind you there. what a scene. incredible _ horses riding behind you there. bfi�*ué�*ii a scene. incredible scenes, horses riding behind you there. iii"isgt a scene. incredible scenes, yes, horses riding behind you there. “iii"isgt a scene. incredible scenes, yes, and it's already pretty busy here at the

moment, but1020 it's already pretty busy here at the moment, but 1020 tomorrow there will be thousands around this area. the omens for the weather are not great, though because lets be honest, coronation day is a don't have a good record. just take a look at what the essential gear was back for the coronation in 1953. it was a thoroughly wet day. temperatures didn't even make it to 12 celsius and, believe it or not, the last four coronation days all had rain falling. so that is what we are dealing with and that is what we will have to deal with tomorrow. let“s will have to deal with tomorrow. let's take a look at the forecast for the all—important coronation day. here in london it“s for the all—important coronation day. here in london it's going to be plenty of cloud around and, yes, there will be rain at times too. looking like the heaviest will be from the morning into the afternoon. pretty low cloud base, we have to keep a close eye on things for the potential of the fly—past taking place during the afternoon. that“s place during the afternoon. that's what's coming up tomorrow so let's get back to today. the forecast across the uk contains rain in the form of some heavy and potentially

thundery showers, not a cloud around, but we will see some more sunshine crossing lead and wales but here the heaviest of those showers will be. hit and miss as we go into the afternoon, pretty cloudy at the moment in northern england which drifts into scotland with outbreaks of rain and drizzle and a cool and windy day in the north and east of scotland. the winter gale force at times, temperatures barely out of single figures. further south, the sunshine between the showers, some of you will avoid them altogether during the afternoon, especially southern coastal counties, getting up southern coastal counties, getting up to 18—19. tonight, many showers will fade away and still cloudy and damp and windy in the north—east of scotland, and then that rain starts to arrive into the south west later on. it won't be a cold night, temperatures staying around 7—10 to take it into tomorrow morning. the rain toward the south—west as we start off will cause issues spread across many parts of wales and a good part of central and southern england, an area of low pressure you can see on the chart slowly moving northwards and eastwards and it well, through that heavier rain, at times, on and off into the london

area mainly from around mid morning onwards. things improving into the afternoon. the far north of england, parts of western scotland and northern ireland could see sunshine but one or two showers. by and large, it will be a cooler day compared with today. temperatures down a few degrees but still mild enough for this stage of the year and that is how we are looking here and that is how we are looking here and over the weekend. i would have a full forecast for you but for the time being, back to charlie. thank ou. let's time being, back to charlie. thank you- let's bring — time being, back to charlie. thank you. let's bring you _ time being, back to charlie. thank you. let's bring you right - time being, back to charlie. thank you. let's bring you right up - time being, back to charlie. thank you. let's bring you right up to - you. let's bring you right up to date with a local election results coming in this morning. it“s date with a local election results coming in this morning. it's been a disappointing result so far for the conservatives having lost more than 2000 councillors in the local elections. rishi sunak has given his reaction to the local results so far. reaction to the local results so far, ., , reaction to the local results so far. ., , , far. the southeast, southwest, midlands. _ far. the southeast, southwest, midlands, north, _ far. the southeast, southwest, midlands, north, you _ far. the southeast, southwest, midlands, north, you losing i midlands, north, you losing everywhere. why is that? it’s midlands, north, you losing everywhere. why is that? it's always disappointing — everywhere. why is that? it's always disappointing to _ everywhere. why is that? it's always disappointing to lose _ everywhere. why is that? it's always disappointing to lose hard-working i disappointing to lose hard—working conservative councillors, friends and colleagues, and i'm so grateful to them _ and colleagues, and i'm so grateful to them for— and colleagues, and i'm so grateful to them for everything they have done _ to them for everything they have done and — to them for everything they have done and in terms of the result it's still early— done and in terms of the result it's

elesewhere the tories lost control of hertsmere and brentwood. it was a better story for them in thurrock, where they held on to power despite recent finanical difficulties and debt of more than £1 billion. and you can get the latest results as they come in on the bbc election live page — the address is on your screen now. in other news... a man's been charged with murder after a 31—year—old woman was stabbed to death in brixton johanita dogbey was killed in stockwell park walk on monday afternoon. mohamed nur is also accused of gbh after three other people suffered slash wounds in brixton within an hour of each other last saturday. the 33—year—old“s due in court in croydon later. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line has minor delays. now onto the weather. a sunny day with some showers developing this afternoon.

but it will stay mild — top temperature of 18 degrees. that's it — much more on all of the election results as they come in online. i'll be back in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast. our headlines today... the first results from england's local elections — early counts have seen labour and the liberal democrats taking council seats from the conservatives. cheering. labour take control of key targets in plymouth, medway and stoke and say they are on course to win the next election. we've taken back control of the council and that is a stepping stone to a labour government and i am truly delighted. good morning from westminster abbey, where the final preparations for the king's coronation are under way. ahead of the biggest state occasion in decades, a lighter note from the king

and queen consort — a special announcement for rail passengers travelling this weekend. my wife and i wish you and your families a wonderful coronation weekend. wherever you are travelling, we hope you have a safe and pleasant journey. and, remember, please mind the gap. from admiralty arch all the way down the mall to almost the gates of buckingham palace, royal well—wishers are gathering with just 27 hours to go until the processions come past. infill 27 hours to go until the processions come ast. ~ ., ., 27 hours to go until the processions come past-— come past. will it rain on the kina's come past. will it rain on the king's parade, _ come past. will it rain on the king's parade, i— come past. will it rain on the king's parade, iwill- come past. will it rain on the king's parade, i will have - come past. will it rain on the king's parade, i will have the king's parade, ! will have the answer— king's parade, i will have the answer in _ king's parade, i will have the answer in the forecast through the programme. it is also bank holiday weekend — programme. it is also bank holiday weekend. will it stay dry or see some _ weekend. will it stay dry or see some sunshine? it is all coming up on breakfast.

it's friday, the 5th of may. the first results are in from the local elections in england with labour and the liberal democrats both taking council seats from the conservatives. democrats both taking council seats more than 8,000 councillors will be chosen in a vote, which is seen as the first big test of rishi sunak“s electoral popularity since becoming prime minister. our political correspondent jonathan blake has the latest. cheering. celebrations in stoke—on—trent — a key victory for labour overnight. they took control of the city council after voters here and across england gave their verdict. ballots have been counted in some of the 200 or so towns, cities and rural areas holding elections that decide who runs local services. but also giving a sense of the national political picture. the conservatives were braced

fora bad nightand that is what they had. the party is on course to lose hundreds of councillors. it has been a terrible night for us here in plymouth. i think there area a number of factors are at play. locally, it has been very difficult. the conservative group here has been through a very difficult time. we have seen that reflected on the doors in the campaign and we have seen that reflected in the results tonight. but we take it on the chin. labour have made steady, if not overwhelming, gains but enough they claim to put them on course to win a general election. we have been winning across all the country, whether in the midlands, in stoke, in kent. by taking medway, teesside. also the middlesbrough may oral tea. we have seen success across the country because we have been focusing on the number one issue affecting voters and that is the cost of living crisis, for which we have a plan and the tories have

not been talking about it because they have crashed the economy and do not know how to fix it. essex in the early hours and the liberal democrats were cheering the loudest. gains there and further afield were ground—breaking, the party claimed. predicting upsets in traditional tory territory. a fantastic result for the liberal democrats in one of the safest tory seats in the country. we've gained three seats. we are now up to 17 seats and the council moves into no overall control. and it is a time of change in brentwood and we are really delighted. it's fantastic news. cheering. the green party has boosted its numbers too in these first elections in england where photo id was required to vote. only around a quarter of the councils holding elections have been counting votes overnight. so early results don't give anything like the full picture. but in the hours ahead, these local contexts will be closely these local contests will be closely

watched as a crucial test for all the parties. jonathan blake, bbc news. our political correspondent alex forsyth is here with me now. give us the thought process. we caution we only have a limited number of results to go on so far. yellow muckamore counting this morning and this afternoon. what we can clearly say is this is a bad night for the conservatives, a good night for the conservatives, a good night for the conservatives, a good night for labour and the lib dems. what is really interesting, where labour and the lib dems are winning, where the conservatives are losing are in different places across the country and that will make the conservatives really worried because they are facing a threat on all sides. ., , ., , ., ., sides. the conservatives are not doini sides. the conservatives are not doing well _ sides. the conservatives are not doing well and — sides. the conservatives are not doing well and their _ sides. the conservatives are not doing well and their leader- sides. the conservatives are not doing well and their leader is i sides. the conservatives are not| doing well and their leader is the prime minister. the first thing you want to do it here from the prime minister, the leader of the conservative party. ihe minister, the leader of the conservative party. he has been talkina. conservative party. he has been talking- this _ conservative party. he has been talking. this is _ conservative party. he has been talking. this is the _ conservative party. he has been talking. this is the first - conservative party. he has been talking. this is the first big - conservative party. he has been talking. this is the first big test| talking. this is the first big test of public opinion about his leadership. it has not gone well for him. he seems to be staying fairly

conservative held stronghold. it was not some weather expected to do well in. the conservatives are facing a threat on both sides. —— somewhere they expected to do well in. what they expected to do well in. what the labour party will say is it is pointing to them coming back in parts of the country where they need to make progress. there are places they would love to take, like hartlepool, where they fell short. digging underneath, lots of nuances and local issues playing into some of these results. the big national picture and the big takeaway is it has been a bad night for the conservatives so far with a lot more results to come and a pretty good night for labour so far. trite results to come and a pretty good night for labour so far.— night for labour so far. we have already heard _ night for labour so far. we have already heard from _ night for labour so far. we have already heard from the - night for labour so far. we have already heard from the labour i night for labour so far. we have - already heard from the labour party saying they see it very clearly, saying they see it very clearly, saying over and again, they are on course for a win at the general election. in terms of what you and

are sitting as well and that is really important to look out for. all the local election results will be available online. you can see the details on the screen. to see who won in your area, you can use our postcode checker, which is available on the bbc news website and on our app. rail travellers are facing more disruption after members of the rmt union voted to continue taking strike action. around 20,000 workers employed by 14 train companies were eligible to take part in the ballot. the transport secretary, mark harper, insisted they'd been offered a fair pay deal and was disappointed by the decision. it's now possible that strikes could run until nearly the end of this year. the energy price cap is expected to fall to £2,060 per year from july — for the average household. the latest analysis by experts at cornwall insight say it comes as the wholesale energy market stabilises, and there's less demand from consumers. but bills are still around £1000 higher than they were in 2020.

a jury in new york has decided that the singer, ed sheeran, did not copy marvin gaye's song, let's get it on when he composed his hit, thinking out loud. the family of marvin gaye had argued that they were owed money for copyright infringement. our music correspondent, mark savage, has more. # will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?# thinking out loud is one of ed sheeran“s biggest hits. in the uk alone, it has sold more than 4 million copies. but, shortly after it was released, he was accused of theft by the family of ed townsend, the co—writer of marvin gaye's let's get it on. here's how the songs sound when they're put into the same key. # i've been really trying, baby...# # my heart could still fallas hard...# the lyrics and melody are different, but the underlying chords are similar.

sheeran brought his guitar to the witness stand in new york and played those chords. he said they were the basic building blocks of pop music, used by everyone from dolly parton to elvis presley. the prosecution played what they called a smoking gun — this fan shot video of sheeran playing a medley of thinking out loud and let's get it on. # sha—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la # let's get it on # 0h, let's get it on.# due to a quirk of us copyright law, only the sheet music for marvin gaye's song was protected under law. that meant the jury wasn't able to compare the music recordings of the two songs side by side, and, in the end, they sided with ed sheeran. we spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords, which are all so different and used by songwriters every day all over the world.

they are in a songwriter“s alphabet, our toolkit, and should be there for all of us to use. no—one owns them, or the way they are played in the same way that nobody owns the colour blue. for sheeran, the timing couldn't have been better. he releases a new album and goes back on tour this weekend. mark savage, bbc news. very much part of our programme this morning is looking ahead to the coronation tomorrow. our helicopter camera is in the sky above london and you can see buckingham palace to the left of the screen and all the crowd management arrangements in front of it. there will be throngs and throngs of people by tomorrow morning. we know to the right would be the mall. we know there are lots of campus we will meet in just a few

of england, but, look, absolutely, of course, as leader of the council, some responsibility has to stop with me and i'm sure my colleagues that follow me will learn the lessons from that and take us forward. elesewhere, the tories lost control of hertsmere and brentwood. they did however retain control of thurrock after winning the three seats they needed, but council leader mark coxshall lost his seat to labour. only some areas have been voting this year, with no local elections in london. many of the results have yet to come in, with counting only getting under way this morning. for the latest results as they come in on the bbc election live page. the address is on your screen now. in other news, a man's been charged with murder after a 31—year—old woman was stabbed to death in brixton. johanita dogbey was killed in stockwell park walk on monday afternoon. mohamed nur is also accused of gbh after three other people suffered

slash wounds in brixton within an hour of each other last saturday. the 33—year—old“s due in court later. passengers on london's underground will be able to hear a specially recorded message from the king and queen from today the announcement, which includes a reminder to "please mind the gap", will be played on the tube over the course of the weekend. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. well, i'm sure any wet weather

won“t dampen the spirits too much this coronation bank holiday weekend, but it is set to turn rather unsettled. really from today onwards there's plenty of rain to come in the forecast but it won't be wet all the time. and there“ll be some bright and some sunny spells. temperatures at or above the seasonal average. this morning it's a cloudy and a mild start to the day. there will be some showers tracking north—eastwards on a south—westerly wind. it will brighten up somewhat into the afternoon but by then, some of the showers could turn heavy and even thundery in nature. top temperatures peaking between 16—18. then we look out towards the south—west on saturday morning. this clump of rain is set to be tracking its way north—eastwards as we head through the morning, so we are likely to see some wet weather then. and there“ll be some showers, possibly some brighter spells, as we get through the afternoon. sunday looks like the drier day of the three. there could be one or two light showers around perhaps. temperatures will rise to around 17—18. on monday, there“ll be some more showers around at times. much more on all of the election results as they come in online, here and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty, who will have more from westminster abbey. let“s let's get more on the local

elections. early results from across england showed gains for labour and the liberal democrats and were joined now by sir ed davey, the leader of the liberal democrats. thank you for your time this morning. i wonder if you begin your analysis of what we've seen so far, the caution of course around this is that we do not have by any means all the results in this stage. riitood the results in this stage. good morning. _ the results in this stage. good morning, charlie. _ the results in this stage. good morning, charlie. these - the results in this stage. good i morning, charlie. these results the results in this stage. (limp. morning, charlie. these results are ground—breaking for the liberal democrats. far exceeding the expectations of independent pundits. we have taken control of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead, and i think in those blue wool seats, conservative traditional heartlands, lib dems are going to make big gains. we get to count sussex, surrey, hertfordshire and oxfordshire, and as you are saying, but we are very positive about our chances there. it's notjust those traditional conservative heartlands that lib dems are making gains. in our own heartlands, in places like

devon and dorset, i think we are going to do really well, so we are really happy this morning. i think it is the voters who are both really angry with the conservatives, i“ll angry with the conservatives, i'll be frank with you, but responding positively to the lib dems message. where“d you go so far as to say these are your best ever local election results?— these are your best ever local election results? , ._ election results? they may well turn out to be but — election results? they may well turn out to be but i'm _ election results? they may well turn out to be but i'm not _ election results? they may well turn out to be but i'm not going - election results? they may well turn out to be but i'm not going to - election results? they may well turn out to be but i'm not going to call i out to be but i'm not going to call it yet because there's a lot of counting to go, but we certainly feel that these are great results. you will remember the last time the seats were made, we made 700 gains some are coming off a high base so to make gains in places like the cotswolds which we won last time but retain control of, really great result, and across the country, we really are smiling this morning. these are way better than we expected. i have to say, though, it sort of reflects what i was finding

on the doorstep when i was campaigning. people really alarmed about the state of our nhs, getting gp appointments ambulance delays, an nhs dentist, and they felt the conservatives have got the whole country down on the nhs. cost of living, with food prices and energy bills and there was also a sense amongst lifelong conservatives that this conservative party doesn“t amongst lifelong conservatives that this conservative party doesn't have any integrity any more. and so there absolutely was people switching from the conservatives, some may be staying at home, are not coming to the lib dems, and i think that explains our huge success. the fi . ures explains our huge success. the figures come — explains our huge success. the figures come as _ explains our huge success. the figures come as you explained, will speakfor figures come as you explained, will speak for themselves and the full picture will emerge and it is clear there have been lib dems successes, but people will same that these are local elections, in particular places, and just because people are voted lib down on this occasion, may well need to do with local issues,

and a strong candidate, but that does not translate into anything else. a bigger picture. it's true there is always local issues and we got some great candidates there, very proud of them. iii got some great candidates there, very proud of them.— got some great candidates there, very proud of them. if you look back over the last — very proud of them. if you look back over the last 30-40 _ very proud of them. if you look back over the last 30-40 years, - very proud of them. if you look back over the last 30-40 years, when i very proud of them. if you look back over the last 30-40 years, when lib over the last 30—40 years, when lib dems mps have been elected at a general election, it“s dems mps have been elected at a general election, it's almost always been on the back of fantastic local election results in the previous few years. so, for me as leader, looking at what we achieved last year, when lib dems won more seats in the local elections than any other party, and our amazing results last night, that sets us up extremely well in the general election. i“m sets us up extremely well in the general election. i'm really believing lib dems can beat many conservative mps and i hope some snp mps too, and remove the conservatives from government. when we soke to conservatives from government. when we spoke to labour— conservatives from government. when we spoke to labour earlier _ conservatives from government. when we spoke to labour earlier on, they were very clear, and it was a message repeated over and over again, they believe now they are on course for a general election

victory. you are the lib dems leader. translate what your thoughts are about these election results, as we've seen so far, into what that actually means in terms of a general election. j actually means in terms of a general election. . , .. actually means in terms of a general election. ., , ,, ., ., election. i generally think it too earl to election. i generally think it too early to make _ election. i generally think it too early to make those _ election. i generally think it too early to make those sorts - election. i generally think it too early to make those sorts of. early to make those sorts of predictions to be honest. i can go on about what we had chance to analyse, and it is really clear that the lib dems in large parts of the country are the main challengers to the conservatives. in the blue wall seats i have talked about, and in the south—west, parts of greater manchester and stockport, in parts of yorkshire, you know, it's really quite striking that in many areas if you want to get rid of the conservative mp at the next election it will be the lib dems vote that is a powerful one. what that means the overall result ijust can“t a powerful one. what that means the overall result ijust can't tell, it's way too early, but what i do think it is, and i hope this will

brighten up at least the majority of your viewers: brighten up at least the majority of yourviewers: it looks brighten up at least the majority of your viewers: it looks like the conservatives are going to lose the next election. it“s conservatives are going to lose the next election. it's not in the bag yet, and what i always say is we should not take voters for granted. i“m determined liberal democrats in the support of people on the policies of the environment and the nhs and so on, and we make the case for our values and our policies, and we have been doing that.— for our values and our policies, and we have been doing that. people have been backing — we have been doing that. people have been backing us. _ we have been doing that. people have been backing us. sir— we have been doing that. people have been backing us. sir ed _ we have been doing that. people have been backing us. sir ed davey, - we have been doing that. people have been backing us. sir ed davey, thankl been backing us. sir ed davey, thank you very much. we don't make any assumptions about what will please our audience but we just try to give people what the votes are. thank you for your time this morning, i know you've got a busy day ahead. we can speak now to our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart, who has the latest analysis from our london newsroom. we“ve we've heard more the parties this morning, the prime minister himself, just about the picture they are seeing emerging, and we've said all along, these are early days and we can see from your map the numbers of seats coming in, so tell us what we are seeing. seats coming in, so tell us what we are seeing-— are seeing. well, we've heard from all arties

are seeing. well, we've heard from all parties in _ are seeing. well, we've heard from all parties in the _ are seeing. well, we've heard from all parties in the most _ all parties in the most disappointing party is the conservatives who are having a bad night, charlie, and to give you an idea, this is the councils they've lost including some pretty traditional conservative strongholds like north west leicestershire, herts meal, so not a great night for the conservative so far. let“s herts meal, so not a great night for the conservative so far. let's look at what's happening in terms of cancelling changes. let“s remember we are comparing to the 2019 local elections. labourare we are comparing to the 2019 local elections. labour are up by almost 120 councillors, the conservatives down by almost 230 and the lib dems up down by almost 230 and the lib dems up by over 60. lib dems very happy as we heard from sir ed davey there, labour also saying this sort of showing if replicated in the general election would be putting sir keir starmer into number ten. let“s election would be putting sir keir starmer into number ten. let's look in detail at the councils, kent coast festival. medway, labour had taken out from the conservatives. it had been conservative since 2003. labour not in power on this council since 1998, but they have taken it

now and interesting to note, look at the brexit vote, the eu referendum vote, 64% leave and we know labour has struggled in recent years in lee“s areas but they do appear to be making progress in those areas. as medway shows, labour will be very happy about that. let's cross to windsor and maidenhead. actually, before we do that, we're showing the change in seats there, conservatives done by 13 and labour by 11 so a swing. berkshire we can look at windsor and maidenhead, and this is a different story because it's the lib dems that are doing well against the conservatives and we heard ed davey make reference to this seat. conservatives since 2007, the parliamentary seat represented by theresa may. let“s parliamentary seat represented by theresa may. let's look at the change there. lib dems up by 13, conservatives done by 13, windsor and maidenhead, strong conservative area, has now gone liberal democrat. now many councils yet to count throughout the day. a full picture not emerging yet but you can of

course go on to bbc online and type in your postcode and you will find out what is happening in your area if there's been any elections there and any changes.— if there's been any elections there and any changes. david, thank you very much- — and any changes. david, thank you very much- all— and any changes. david, thank you very much. all the _ and any changes. david, thank you very much. all the details - and any changes. david, thank you very much. all the details you - and any changes. david, thank you very much. all the details you can| very much. all the details you can see david doing there you can find out what's happening locally for you. also made mention of medway in kent, for labour. they gained control from the conservatives. charlotte wright sent us an update of just what happened charlotte wright sent us an update ofjust what happened overnight. when everybody is packing up here in medway after a very long night. but the labour activists here have gone off to celebrate because for the first time in 20 years, they have managed to take control of the council from the conservatives. they've been working really hard this year and they think their win is down to a combination of factors. so partly dissatisfaction with the conservative party nationally, but also labour's hard work on the doorstep here locally. they've been out knocking on doors and they've had shadow cabinet ministers down as well, including the leader. keir starmer has been down twice to gillingham campaigning here.

they've been pushing really hard. they've also been helped by some boundary changes which went in their favour. but they say this is really good news, really optimistic news for them for an upcoming general election. there are three conservative mps in this area who will now be looking at their majorities, which are quite big at the moment, but wondering what it could all mean for the next general election. that“s that's a look at medway specifically. our political editor, chris mason, has been watching events unfold through the night and hejoins us now from our london newsroom. the big question is, whatjust happened? the big question is, what 'ust happenedafi the big question is, what 'ust ha ened? ., ., i. the big question is, what 'ust hauened? ., ., �*, happened? good morning to you. it's a miserable — happened? good morning to you. it's a miserable night— happened? good morning to you. it's a miserable night for— happened? good morning to you. it's a miserable night for the _ a miserable night for the conservatives. the official word from conservative hq and from the prime minister is that it's been disappointing, i think that's a healthy blast of british understatement in terms of their analysis of their own results. it looks pretty bleak for them. however, you unpack it, their own

results. as far as labour is concerned, they are pointing to gains in key places, the kind of places where general elections are won and lost, and the liberal democrats are wearing big smiles in terms of the games they have made, concentrated, yes, but in the kinds of parts of the country where they are competitive, not least the semi—circular suburbia around london. they also point to doing well in hull as well. if we unpack where we are so far, there is a shed load of more results to come during the course of today so who knows where the picture is by tea—time tonight. but, yeah, the conservatives are done badly, labour and liberal democrats have done well and liberal democrats have done well and that in terms of the provision of local services were councils have changed hands because councils could be under different complexions of control from where they were yesterday but it also matters because of the mood that it sets within political parties. as they look ahead to the general election,

expected next year. how can we read into that in terms of what might happen then? we have to be cautious about these kinds of projections, not least because there will be lots of people who perhaps didn“t not least because there will be lots of people who perhaps didn't turn out in the local elections yesterday who would do in a general election and where might they find themselves politically. the conservatives take some comfort from the fact that lots of their former voters perhaps didn't bother voting rather than necessarily switching in vast numbers to other political parties. i think what we can conclude is that politics is massively competitive again. labourare politics is massively competitive again. labour are competitive again. undeniably. the liberal democrats in parts of the country where they put in a lot of effort are competitive again. the conservatives are having again. the conservatives are having a difficult time, that's without question, but they sit on a very healthy majority at westminster which provides them with something of a buffer for now but there will be plenty of conservative mps nervously seeing results in their neck of the woods and fearing what

it could mean at a general election and then let“s let look beyond england to parts of the uk where there were not elections yesterday. scotland in particular. potentially a changing political picture bear with the trouble with the scottish national party. what could that mean in particularfor a labour revival north of the border? the implications that could have in a general election, so plenty more noise to come from all the political parties and from people like me, let“s parties and from people like me, let's be honest, in the coming hours, but that's how it looks at this stage and how it looks like it will frame the mood and the weather, if you like, at westminster in terms of how the political parties see each other and see themselves. my, chris, give me another big thought. clearly, today, there will be and are already winners and losers politically and yet, from what i'm hearing, and we've heard from sir ed davey a moment ago, and we have heard from rishi sunak, yet to hear

from keir starmer, but effectively they all to say the same thing, we are going to carry on doing what we are going to carry on doing what we are doing. and yet there have been winners and losers and losers and it's a curious one. it is curious, isn“t it's a curious one. it is curious, isn't it, because take their conservatives. we have heard from rishi sunak and other senior conservatives this morning, they are saying we will carry on with our priorities they like to talk about dealing with the small boats, working on the economy and the nhs, and you might be watching breakfast this morning thinking should they not change their outlook given the verdict delivered by the electorate invited to polling stations yesterday? the conservative argument is the blame for what happened to them yesterday should be pinned on borisjohnson and liz them yesterday should be pinned on boris johnson and liz truss them yesterday should be pinned on borisjohnson and liz truss and being in government for a long time rather than rishi sunak, but the responsibility ultimately does lie on rishi sunak“s desk because he a prime minister. as far as labour are concerned, they say they think about what they are doing is evidence that

they are heading in the right direction. the curiosity with labour is that, and both of these things are true, labour are in a position right now that they couldn't have dreamt of just right now that they couldn't have dreamt ofjust a couple of years ago given their thrashing of a general election back in 2019. their worst performance since 1935. and yet, you can also say that the mountain that they have to climb still to win a general election is absolutely huge. they make the argument the numbers so far in his local elections suggest that they can, some analysts who are a bit more sceptical, it“s who are a bit more sceptical, it's still clearly a massive mountain for them to climb and then you look at them to climb and then you look at the lib dems, perhaps for the first time since they were humiliated at general elections back in 2015 after their years in coalition. they were able to say that voters are looking in the rear—view mirror when they look at the lib dems and not seeing that legacy of coalition government

which plenty of liberal democrats are proud of, but which the electorate really didn't like the look of one their party was shrivelled vastly in 2015 after those five years in coalition with the conservatives. so that, as things stand, is how the parties are analysing the picture as things stand. one finalthought, charlie, is that way before the night we have just been through, the labour party and the liberal democrats to a degree where both suggesting that the results that would come on friday afternoon, later today, would be better for them than the ones that came overnight and yet both parties have had a good first set of results so it will be intriguing to see where the picture is by six o'clock tonight compared with a 8:45 o“clock tonight compared with a 8:45 in the morning, right now. trite o'clock tonight compared with a 8:45 in the morning, right now.— in the morning, right now. we are all wise for _ in the morning, right now. we are all wise for that, _ in the morning, right now. we are all wise for that, chris. _ in the morning, right now. we are all wise for that, chris. you - in the morning, right now. we are all wise for that, chris. you go - in the morning, right now. we are| all wise for that, chris. you go and get some sleep. nice to catch up. 8.48 is the time. let“s turn our

attention away from the local election and to the coronation taking place of course tomorrow. in the foreground of westminster abbey, what a beautiful occasion it will be and i'm assuming by this time tomorrow there will be throngs of people where you are? yes. people where you are? yes, absolutely. _ people where you are? yes, absolutely, charlie. - people where you are? yes, absolutely, charlie. yes, i people where you are? yes, i absolutely, charlie. yes, we've people where you are? jeri absolutely, charlie. yes, we've seen the barrier is all security operation under way, lots of conversations about the weather, you“ve conversations about the weather, you've been having those as well. the sun has just popped out. you've been having those as well. the sun hasjust popped out. we had a bit of rain this morning and we are expecting rain tomorrow but it doesn't matter, itjust doesn“t doesn't matter, itjust doesn't matter, people are getting excited anyway with a street parties which are being planned across the uk. and think about what they want to be watching as well, settling down, we've been talking tojohn maguire at the mall today with people who have been camping out preparing, got

despots over the last few days, and keeping a very close eye on the biggest estate event we've seen in decades and we know that today king charles is having a busy day actually with lots of guests and potential delegates, lots of meetings as well, so he's not taking his foot off the pedal today ahead of what will be a day of pomp and ceremony tomorrow. but perhaps those at home can relax a little bit more. i'm going to take you to the town of brixham in devon and is planning five days of celebration and our reporter is there taking in the atmosphere. i don't know what the weather is like for you, fiona, but weather is like for you, fiona, but we had a bit of sunshine here coming through and warming us a little bit and i'm hoping it“s through and warming us a little bit and i'm hoping it's going to be the same for you. yes, we have had son coming out for us here in brixham. we are one of the biggest sports in the country, one of the biggest fishing ports,

live from westminster. this is bbc news. the conservatives have lost seats to labour and the liberal democrats as the results have started to come in from yesterday's local elections in england. the conservatives say they have had a difficult night but there is still a long way to go. it's always disappointing to lose hard—working conservative councillors and their friends and colleagues and i am so grateful to them for everything they have done. it is still early, we have only had a quarter of the results in. labour have taken control of key councils in plymouth and stoke on trent and have taken medway in kent from the tories. the liberal democrats make gains and take windsor from the conservatives.
