6:02 am
followed by sunshine and also heavy and thundery showers especially in northern ireland. it's monday the 8th may. our main story. the prince of wales paid tribute to his father the king during the coronation concert at windsor castle last night, saying that the late queen would have been a "very proud mother". prince william addressed the 20,000 strong crowd during an event which featured performances from the likes of lionel richie, take that and katy perry. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell was there. five, four, three, two, one! from the intense formality of westminster abbey to the energy of the coronation concert on the east lawn of windsor castle. with an audience of 20,000, charity volunteers, nhs workers and guests chosen by public ballot. watching from the royal box,

6:04 am
this weekend is so important. but don't worry, unlike lionel, i won't go on all night long! cheering. as my grandmother said when she was crowned, coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future, and i know she is up there, firmly keeping an eye on us, and she would be a very proud mother. william talked about his father's 50 years of service, his work to protect the environment, to establish the prince's trust... and perhaps most importantly of all, my father has always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds and all communities, deserve to be celebrated and supported. cheering. pa, we are all so proud of you. i also want to express my pride
6:05 am
and gratitude for the millions of people who serve, in the forces, in classrooms, hospital wards and local communities. cheering and applause. i wish i could mention you all. your service inspires us, and tonight we celebrate you too. i commit myself to serve you all, king, country and commonwealth. god save the king. cheering and applause. # rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down... there was a spectacular light show with a strong environmental theme. 1000 drones over windsor castle and ten different locations around the united kingdom. # neverforget where

6:08 am
grandmother, looking down and having pride as well. so we also sought 20,000 people packed out into the grounds, the east lawn of windsor castle, to enjoy that concert. as you have been mentioning there, the royal family clearly having an amazing time. i think it was lionel richie who got all of them up dancing, including the king as well. little known fact revealed about the king, i liked the one particular about how the king, when he plants a tree, it shakes the —— he shakes the tree's hand. and his love of red squirrels, he sometimes lets them into his house. an amazing concert last night, i think the royalfamily will be very pleased about how it has gone. we will be speaking to some of those who took part in the concert throughout the programme. yes, we are going to bejoined by

some of the stars of the ceremony yesterday. you are surrounded by trees, maybe you can go and shake them by the hand this morning! i}!(! them by the hand this morning! ok! we will see it them by the hand this morning! i¥li we will see it later. the metropolitan police has updated the number of people it arrested in london on the day of the king's coronation mostly on suspicion of conspiring to cause a public nuisance. among the 64 people held was the head of the anti—monarchy group republic, who described the arrests as a "direct attack on our democracy", but the government insisted the force got the balance right. four people have been charged and will appear in court later this month, two under the public order act and two for alleged drug possession. at least 21 people have died after a packed tourist boat capsized in india. the boat was reportedly carrying about 50 people, or double its capacity, when it overturned in the southern state of kerala. it's feared the death toll could rise today as the wreckage is searched. gp surgeries across the uk will receive £240 million to improve
6:10 am
the technology they use to communicate with patients, the department of health has announced. it's part of a wider government plan which is expected later this week to address the problems many people face when trying to make an on—the—day appointment. we will talk about that during the programme this morning. eurovision week is officially under way in liverpool, the host city, which kicked things off last night with an open—air concert. another one! all the eurovision hopefuls were there to meet fans and enjoy performances by local acts including the lightning seeds, atomic kitten, and for the first time in 36 years frankie goes to hollywood. 0ur media and arts correspondent david sillito reports. liverpool, are you ready? # her name is she, queen of the kings # running so fast, beating the wind # nothing in this world can stop the spread of her wings

6:12 am
frankie goes to hollywood. it was a musical overture to what will be a week of eurovision. definitely a moment to hit the video button. david sillito, bbc news, liverpool. that looks like a lot of fun. we will have more fun in liverpool through the week. i will have more fun in liverpool through the week.— will have more fun in liverpool through the week. i think we will be there uuite through the week. i think we will be there quite a _ through the week. i think we will be there quite a lot _ through the week. i think we will be there quite a lot during _ through the week. i think we will be there quite a lot during the - through the week. i think we will be there quite a lot during the next - there quite a lot during the next few days. and nina is there today. another big event from this weekend. it wasn'tjust king charles who received a crown over the weekend. a gloucestershire town also held a ceremony to honour its official "coronation chicken". god save the chick—queen! buffy beat 33 other chickens who'd applied for the role, in cinderford.

6:16 am
when tim's daughter elle was killed, he needed to find a reason to live. and then he saw this. look at this. lands end, john 0'groats. liverpool comedian and actor john may started walking across britain injanuary. in february, tim asked if he could join and this is a taste of what has happened. i've got to seejohn. i've got to see these! i didn't have any preconception really of what i wanted to get out of it. it was just go for a walk with john. spot of bird—watching here in a lovely place called gresford. a bit of time alone and a bit of space and a bit of freedom from the chaos. laughter. oh, what a day! show us guns. people might think we're mad for walking the country, but at least we're doing something. yeah. do you know what i mean,
6:17 am
we're doing something. it's been great, really good, yeah, we've had a laugh. it's just been an adventure. people have asked me lately. john, where are you? while tim needed a reason to put one foot in front of the other, john has had his own reasons. i'm on the edge, i'm on the edge. was i depressed, ifelt i had no purpose. i'd achieved my goals, the goals i thought about for a long time, and i achieved them. and for that, i'm proud. but then my life became a bit stagnant. and i've created a prison for myself. i was stuck and i was miserable. so i got rid of everything and i decided to do this walk. i'm on the edge of glory! if i can walk a country, i can do anything. i'm not going to... a deep fried creme egg! so i'm going to give it a whirl. battered creme egg, wrong. this isn't real world, is it? no, this is an escape, it really is.
6:18 am
this is escapism. but it's a great form of escapism. laughter. finger lickin' good. you have been powered by laughter. you have also taken a break from each other. yeah, yeah! like all good marriages! who's the manager? marriage! oh, i thought you said managers. this is why we need a break! communication�*s broken down. that's going to blow your mind, that place. done a marathon today. yeah. and he has his aviemore marathon commemorative stone, 2003. today is a good day. what an end to a great day. within a couple of days we'll be under the 100 mile mark and it'll be a countdown. i'm ready to go home, and even tim said this morning, it's time.
6:19 am
today their epicjourney comes to an end. injune, elle's murder trial begins. but for now, the only thing they need to think about isjohn 0'groats and we'll be there to meet them. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. and on tomorrow's breakfast we'll have a film of tim and john finishing that long journey. all the best and good luck to the two of them. let's take a look at today's papers. and all the front pages feature images from the coronation the coronation celebrations. the sun's front page is filled with a picture from the concert for the king. the paper headlines the prince of wales' speech for his father, in which he told him: "we are so proud of you." the mirror also references william's speech with the headline "granny would be proud, and is up there, fondly keeping an eye on us." the paper also carries a large
6:20 am
picture of the royals dancing along to the music. picture of the royals dancing along a picture of the king and queen smiling and waving during the concert is on the front page of the times. the paper says the royal couple are "profoundly grateful" to all who helped with the coronation. this really is one of those days, it has been a weekend where buying a newspaper is really worth it because some of the pictures are incredible. have a look at this one. lots and lots of double page shots to show you this morning. this gives you a little bit of an idea on the cloud. my little bit of an idea on the cloud. my goodness, i like they call it just the cloud. just an astonishing number of people, —— this isjust called the crowd. number of people, -- this is 'ust called the crowdi number of people, -- this is 'ust called the crowd. they made their wa u- called the crowd. they made their way up the _ called the crowd. they made their way up the mall— called the crowd. they made their way up the mall to _ called the crowd. they made their way up the mall to buckingham i called the crowd. they made their - way up the mall to buckingham palace for the balcony. the male —— the daily mail has pictures of street parties from london to 0rkney,

6:22 am
for gp practices to improve their phone and online booking systems. let's get some more details on how that might work with doctor nighat arif. morning, nighat, lovely to see this morning. this is something which i think lots of us will know all about, trying to get a doctor's appointment and that moment, having to set your alarm, be on your phone at the right time, it can be really tricky for patients and very challenging and i know challenging for people working in gp surgeries as well. ~ ,,., , for people working in gp surgeries aswell. , , ~ for people working in gp surgeries as well. ~ ,,., , ~ ., ., as well. absolutely. and i have got as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role _ as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role where _ as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role where i _ as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role where i am _ as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role where i am meant. as well. absolutely. and i have got a double role where i am meant to | as well. absolutely. and i have got i a double role where i am meant to be on the other end, on monday morning i am usually duty doctor on my practice seeing routine patients are taking emergency calls. i have also been a member of the public on the other side trying to book an appointment on a monday morning for my loved ones or my son because it is so difficult to get through to the phones. this is a welcome thing, to have a bit of good news at the

6:24 am
we have got 250,000 patients per one gp so demand is huge. giving a telephone line is ok but who is going to man those telephone lines, where are the receptionist? receptionists are leaving because of high frustrations and the abuse that some of our front of house colleagues face. i'm hearing some horror stories over the whole of the uk, some colleagues are sharing their stories, theyjust don't want to stay on the job. that is where fundamentally we also need to be looking at other things other than just technology because we are really tired in general practice. it's a tricky moment. perhaps if you have been on hold waiting to speak to receptionist at your gp surgery, desperate to make an appointment for yourself orfor a loved one, what is yourself orfor a loved one, what is your advice to people who are in that situation, may be getting quite stressed about it, talking to a receptionist on the other end who is also very stressed, what is your guidance to us?— also very stressed, what is your guidance to us? firstly, i would say that there are _ guidance to us? firstly, i would say that there are other _
6:25 am
guidance to us? firstly, i would say that there are other avenues i guidance to us? firstly, i would say that there are other avenues as i that there are other avenues as well. you can always go to your pharmacy colleagues and they can give you simple advice. i know you have got people later talking about this. there might be people who need to seek physiotherapist, or 111, or if it is an emergency, it could be a&e. it's really hard to make a judgment, that's why getting a conversation through 111 is ok, there is also online version of 111, so you can get given advice to signpost you in the most appropriate way. it's so frustrating being on the phone and holding on, i can understand that, i have been that member of the public trying to get through. this is why i think we have got to be really sensible. viewers of bbc know that having headlines such as, giving a gp recovery plan is fabulous, but where is the implementation and the logistics behind that? the difficulty is that
6:26 am
gps like us, we are the rest for our patients because we don't want these headlines were —— patient satisfaction is so low or patient�*s weight on phone lines getting really frustrated trying to get through to us because that means we aren't not doing ourjob properly. when we are working so hard to try and make sure we are meeting demand at a time when we are meeting demand at a time when we have got a 6% increase in complexity of cases, notjust that patients then come to us and getting to the phone line, it's about, do i go in secondary care? hip replacement is 18 months, a routing gynaecology appointment could be waiting for nine months. if you want to do a musculoskeletal referral, it is three to six months depending on area. keeping patient on hold in primary care, i cannot hold them for long enough as a gp. that is every
6:27 am
gp's story in the uk. in the pandemic, for two years, you saw me here on monday mornings talking through the pandemic and talking about vaccines and how we were in preventing a vaccination programme, keeping our most vulnerable really safe. we did all of that work in primary care. and we are now on the other end trying to make sure we keep staff and make sure that there is not low morale and there is not burn—out, we feel abandoned completely as health care professionals in primary care. getting pharmacists on board as well is fabulous that they are also in a situation which is similar because the amount of work we are getting too is so difficult. this is year—on—yearfor a long too is so difficult. this is year—on—year for a long time underinvestment within primary health care. and if primary health care fails, i'm afraid the nhs will fail. we need it desperately better plan to keep retention of staff and

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the metropolitan police say they made 64 arrests during saturday's coronation. among them was the head of the anti—monarchy group republic, who described the arrests as a "direct attack on our democracy", but the government insisted the force got the balance right. four people have been charged and will appear in court later this month — two under the public order act, and two for alleged drug possession. the police have issued an urgent appeal for information and footage from a fatal stabbing in waltham forest on friday afternoon. a 16—year—old boy was ambushed leaving school on markhouse road before being stabbed to death. no arrests have been made. seperately there were two otherfatal stabbing on friday, in dagenham and in hackney. arrests have been made in those two investigations.
6:30 am
a community group in lewisham has developed its own block of flats and is selling them only to locals. the homes are being sold at a much cheaper rate, basbased on average local income levels. the group says it's a solution to the lack of affordable housing available in london. we have an independent panel that assesses the applications, and they'll be looking at things like local connection to the area. so, that'll be five years or more, whether it's you live here, your kids go to school here. volunteers will plant fowers in tribute to her late majesty the queen in green park later. wild blue flowers will be planted in the spot where the public previously laid tributes following her death. the blooms will eventually map out the river tyburn, which used to run through the park and under the palace. let's take a look at the tubes now. and for all the latest travel where you are,

6:35 am
that's always up for a party. the karaoke has popped up out of thisjewellers, where inside, they're working on musically—themed jewellery. that's a guitar? that's a guitar, yeah. it's a treble clef. we've got some cufflinks in the shape of a guitar, which, you know, we hope to do really well throughout the eurovision. i think it's a huge opportunity. 0bviously we've got thousands of people coming to liverpool. we can showcase what liverpool is about. does it feel like it has already lifted people's spirits? oh, yeah, definitely, yeah. hi, i'm wondering if you have any jobs available for your eurovision? and people likejoel are seeking out ways to get involved. if you can send your cv today to this e—mail address, - and put your subject heading 'eurovision'... _ at these pop—up shops trying to recruit people to work in hotels, attractions, logistics, to name but a few, there is hope that even the temporaryjobs created by eurovision could be
6:36 am
life changing for some. people might try something that maybe they have not tried before. it could be a career change for them. it could be starting out on the career pathway as a student or whatever else. and actually, we might then be able to move them into work after eurovision. so our strapline has been, eurovision and beyond. eurovision is the springboard. it's attracted people, and numbers, that we would not have seen previously, and people from outside of the job centre community. so, you know, those people perhaps have retired early and seeing this, some of this looks a bit of fun, but maybe it will attract them to come back to work and do a little bit more and contribute to the economy as we move forward. in ukraine they call these rashki, these little brown shrimps. at this restaurant they are creating a special ukrainian—inspired menu using local ingredients. how many of these are you expecting to do? well, i think because we've got probably over 100,000 extra visitors coming to liverpool in the next two weeks, and we've put these
6:37 am
dishes on both menus, so i think we're probably going to be quite a few! i hope we are anyway. i'd be very upset if we weren't doing loads of them now. but, yeah, something tells me we're going to be quite busy, yeah. how much is this needed right now? i know for a fact that it's given people hope, and made them continue to do business rather than potentially close the doors and just hang up their clogs, or hang up their keys, or whatever. i don't think this could have come at a better time. and many businesses hope the legacy lasts well beyond this week, a showase for a city embracing its moment to shine. hannah millar, bbc news, liverpool. it certainly is embracing its moment. i know they say liverpool is a 24—hour city. but this lot have been here since 5am. they are ready for eurovision. this is vicky, who runs the centre. it is a combination

6:42 am
corovision! let's go to hugh, who has the spot. there are celebrations everywhere. yeah, when you have an event and you make more events, you would call it a festival. there is something of a festival going on north of the border in a part of glasgow this morning. celtic�*s extraordinary domination of the last decade in the scottish premiership has brought them yet another trophy. only once in the last 12 years have they failed to win the title, with this one number 53. chris mcclaughlin was watching. the sight of celebrating celtic fans in glasgow is nothing new in recent yea rs. just don't tell them these days aren't still special. for those who secured the party, for most of the season it was a case
6:43 am
of when, not if. a 2—0 win over hearts made it official. japanese striker kyoko got them going with his 30th of the season. ten minutes before time, oh made it two, and that was that. typical of a celtic team who have been clinical and ruthless under manager ange postecoglou. 11 titles in 12 years, and in with a chance of making it five trebles in seven years, celtic, for now, seem unstoppable. so, in a city where football is life and winning is everything, once again it is the celtic fans who celebrate. their side's dominance of scottish football continues. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, celtic park. since losing to manchester city last month, arsenal have won twice to make sure the premier league leaders aren't sitting too comfortably. their 2—0 win at newcastle takes them back to within a point of the top. both teams hit the post
6:44 am
in a thrilling game between third and second. 0nly arsenal with the goals though. martin 0degaard's strike from 25 yards was the first. the second an own goal with around 20 minutes to go sealing a crucial win. you have to continue to go. we've done it for ten months. we have to keep digging every single day. the demands are incredibly high, we know that. but we are doing what we have to do, is to win football matches again, performing really well, competing really well. there's three games to go and we are still there. you know, we've performed so well through the majority of the season. the players have been incredible for us. the consistency's been there, the attitude, the mentality's been there. now we have to go another level, and that's always going to be hard. but that's the challenge we face in the premier league. we're going to need the crowd, we're going to need to stay united. incredible support we've had all season. i mean, the noise today was there. we just needed to score. newcastle losing affects the race for champions league football, tightened further by a defeat
6:45 am
too for manchester united, whose goalkeeper david de gea still has the backing of his boss despite a blunder leading to them losing 1—0 at west ham. united could have gone third with a victory at the london stadium. but this horrible error from de gea gifted said benrahma a goal. it's a vital three points for west ham with clear breathing space now between them and the relegation zone while united have suffered back to back defeats. i can't blame my team. they put all the effort in they had in this moment. as i said, from christmas and we play every three days. you see it in the second half. we played below our standards. we couldn't bounce back. now we have to reset and get the energy. manchester united and chelsea are heading for a big three weeks with both the wsl and women's fa cup appearing to be between the two. united are still top of the league after a comfortable 3—0 win over tottenham. alessia russo was among the scorers for united and they've got a four point lead
6:46 am
at the top of the table. nikkita paris and leah galton with the other goals. but chelsea have moved up to second with a 7—0 thrashing of everton. pernille harder scored twice and they've got two games in hand over both united above them and manchester city who are below them after losing yesterday. andy murray has won his first tournament in four years with a victory at the atp challenger event in aix—en—provence. a first title on clay since 2016. he entered the tournament quite late on in order to practice ahead of the french open and it couldn't have gone much better. murray did lose the first set of the final against american tommy paul but came back to win in three. the second grand slam of the year starts in paris at the end of the month. red bull's dominant start to the season has been so emphatic even their team principal is wondering where the opposition is. world champion max verstappen went from ninth to first to win the miami grand prix setting up red bull's fourth one—two of the season already.
6:47 am
verstappen's team—mate sergio perez had started on pole position but took the lead after he'd pitted 25 laps later than the mexican. aston martin's fernando alonso finished third and the red bull boss christian horner admitted the team had never had a start to the season like this and asked where are the others...? yes, dominance indeed. lewis hamilton sixth, george russell fourth. that is what mercedes' aspirations are at the moment. they are having an upgrade. that sounds like they are just going to plug the car in and wait for wi—fi! that is coming of the next one. thank you. i don't know if we are going to upgrade the weather. we were lucky yesterday. may be whiter today? look at that giant black cloud, i think that is a clue! it is a bank holiday! good morning. it is a bank holiday! good morning.
6:48 am
it is a very different forecast today to the one many had yesterday. we have already got some heavy rain in the west. it is continuing to move east. behind it, a return to heavy showers, some of which will be thundery, especially in northern ireland. we have got two weather fronts, the first moving from west to east. the second one in hot pursuit. then we are into sunshine and showers. some of the rain has been quite heavy as it has been traversing from the west towards the east. if you are making your way home in the next couple of hours, say after the bank holiday weekend, you might find there is a lot of surface water and spray on the roads. the first band moves in the direction of the north sea. here is the second weather front, still producing some rain. later, another band of rain comes in with extensive cloud on the far south—west. it will brighten up in parts of scotland. inverness seeing some sunshine. northern ireland also seeing some sunshine. as will wales. the song
6:49 am
will spark off further showers, especially in northern ireland, where they are likely to be thundery. these white circle to represent the average wind speeds. not very windy today anyway. —— white circles. yesterday a lot of us had temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. sheffield was the warmest part of the country. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far. 21.3 in sheffield. you can see the rain from the south—west spreading towards the south east through the night. some clear skies. also a few showers. these are the overnight lows. it is not going to be a cold. we are not expecting any frost. tomorrow, quite quickly we lose the rain from the south—east and we are into a day of sunshine and we are into a day of sunshine and showers. not all of sunshine and showers. not all this will catch a shower, but there would be big ones coming in across devon and cornwall. we will see some thunderstorms develop once again through the course of the day. temperatures
6:50 am
between ten to 18 or 19 degrees. as we head through tuesday into wednesday and thursday, low pressure is still very much dominating our weather. it remains unsettled. sunshine and showers for the next few days. don't put your brolly away just yet. during the course of wednesday, with the low pressure to the west of scotland, there will be a lot of showers. some will be heavy, some will also be thundery, and it is also going to turn breezy in the south—west of england where we have god high is in plymouth of 15 degrees. even as we head into the weekend the outlook remains unsettled. thursday and friday we are looking at some showers, some heavy and thundery. some brightness in between. it is not all doom and gloom. carol, thank you. what a mix. it is a mix. if saturday was about pomp and pageantry, and yesterday was about parties and pop music, then the third day of this
6:51 am

6:57 am
the government insisted the force got the balance right. four people have been charged and will appear in court later this month, two under the public order act and two for alleged drug possession. investigations are continuing into three fatal stabbings in east london within eight hours of each other on friday. a 16—year—old boy was ambushed leaving school on markhouse road before being stabbed to death. no arrests have been made. separately, three people have been arrested after a man in his late 20s was killed in mare street in hackney. and less than an hour later an 18—year—old died in a fight involving machetes near dagenham heathway station. one man's been arrested there. a community group in lewisham has developed its own block of flats and is selling them only to locals. the homes are being sold at a much cheaper rate, based on average local income levels. the group says it's a solution to the lack of affordable housing available in london. we have an independent panel that assesses the applications,
6:58 am
and they'll be looking at things like local connection to the area. so, that'll be five years or more, whether it's you live here, your kids go to school here. volunteers will plant flowers in tribute to her late majesty the queen in green park later. wild blue flowers will be planted in the spot where the public previously laid tributes following her death. the blooms will eventually map out the river tyburn, which used to run through the park and under buckingham palace. let's take a look at the tubes now. the waterloo & city line is closed but otherwise a good service. and for all the latest travel news where you are tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there may be a little bit of brightness first thing this morning, but soon the cloud increases and we see some heavy rain arriving. you can see the progression of the cloud through the night edging in from the west and that band of heavy rain approaching.
6:59 am
so, that cloud will continue to increase and thicken, and become a little lower, then the heavy rain moves through. 50, becoming quite damp today, a breezier day than yesterday. the rain slowly moving eastwards, but likely to stay damp through the afternoon. temperatures today still reaching around 16 celsius. certainly feeling cooler than yesterday afternoon. overnight, yet more heavy rain on the way, gradually clearing eastwards through the early hours, dawn still looking cloudy but a little drier. minimum temperature, double figures, ao again, a mild night. for tuesday, low pressure still in charge. it's a cloudy start, but the cloud will break up and we will see some sunny spells developing. that could spark off some heavy, potentially thundery, showers. the unsettled theme continues through the week. that's it from me, much more on our website and on the bbc news app including some lovely pictures from last nights concert in windsor. i”l be back in half an hour.
7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. # never forget where you've come here from # never pretend that it's all real. a star studded coronation concert. take that, katy perry, and lionel ritchie entertain the crowds at windsor castle with millions more watching on at home. the night saw a touching tribute from a son to his father. the prince of wales said king charles had dedicated his life to serving others. my father has always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds, and all communities deserve to be celebrated and supported. pa, we're all so proud of you.
7:01 am
also this morning, the challenge of getting to see your gp. the government promises more money to end the 8am scramble of phoning up for an appointment. a coronation of a different kind in the scottish premiership, one that happens a little more often as celtic are crowned champions for a 53rd time. liverpool, are you ready? you bet they are. eurovision rolls into town as the opening ceremony gets the party started. good morning. it is a mild start to the day today _ good morning. it is a mild start to the day today and _ good morning. it is a mild start to the day today and for— good morning. it is a mild start to the day today and for some i good morning. it is a mild start to l the day today and for some eastern parts of england it is a dry start, but rain in the west, that's going to be pushing it through the course of the day will be followed by sunshine and heavy potentially have thundery showers. all of the details
7:02 am
later. good morning, it's the 8th may. the prince of wales paid tribute to his father the king during the coronation concert at windsor castle last night, saying that the late queen would have been a "very proud mother". prince william addressed the 20,000 strong crowd during an event which featured performances from the likes of lionel richie, take that and katy perry. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell was there. five, four, three, two, one! from the intense formality of westminster abbey to the energy of the coronation concert on the east lawn of windsor castle. with an audience of 20,000, charity volunteers, nhs workers and guests chosen by public ballot. watching from the royal box, the king and queen, the prince and princess of wales, princess charlotte and prince george, and other members of the family. # we've seen it all... there was music from
7:03 am
the coronation choir, 300 singers from many walks of life in different parts of the uk. and humourfrom miss piggy. wait a second. kermit, it's him! a lord! a real lord! no, ijust play one on television. give me a bear with a marmalade habit any time. she laughs hysterically. so adorable! as dusk fell, lionel richie sang. # come on, and sing... and the royal box did its best to keep up. and then it was time to be a little more serious. onto the stage came the prince of wales. i want to say a few words about my father, and why i believe this weekend is so important. but don't worry, unlike lionel, i won't go on all night long! cheering. as my grandmother said when she was crowned,
7:04 am
coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future, and i know she is up there, fondly keeping an eye on us, and she would be a very proud mother. william talked about his father's 50 years of service, his work to protect the environment, to establish the prince's trust... and perhaps most importantly of all, my father has always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds and all communities, deserve to be celebrated and supported. cheering. pa, we are all so proud of you. i also want to express my pride and gratitude for the millions of people who serve, in the forces, in classrooms, hospital wards and local communities. cheering and applause. i wish i could mention you all.
7:05 am
your service inspires us, and tonight we celebrate you too. i commit myself to serve you all, king, country and commonwealth. god save the king. cheering and applause. # rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down... there was a spectacular light show with a strong environmental theme. 1000 drones over windsor castle and at ten different locations around the united kingdom. # you're going to hear me roar # you're going to hear me roar # louder, louder then a lion stop # neverforget where you've come here from... it was a celebration with a serious message of service,
7:06 am
a theme which will continue today with the big help out, when thousands of volunteers will give their time to help others. nicholas witchell, bbc news. we're joined now by helena wilkinson in windsor. what a night, helena, whata night, helena, i what a night, helena, i know the royalfamily and palace what a night, helena, i know the royal family and palace officials will be delighted it went so well. yes, an absolutely spectacular concert, sally, just behind us you can see windsor castle, we are on the long walk this morning. very quiet this morning compared to what it was like last night. the royal standard is flying above the castle, which means the monarchy, the king is in residence, perhaps he is having a well deserved lie this morning. an amazing concert with so many acts. lionel richie got everyone up dancing, members of the royalfamily including everyone up dancing, members of the royal family including the everyone up dancing, members of the royalfamily including the king, they were clearly all having an
7:07 am
amazing time. i think i spotted charlotte, princess charlotte singing along to katy perry's roar and also i think she was singing to take that as well. that heartfelt and very tender moment, poignant, when prince william got up on stage in front of 20,000 people who were stepped —— packed into the east lawn behind us and spoke about his pride about his father and grandmother as well. we are going to be speaking to three members of an nhs choir in the next half an hour, hull nhs choir, they will bejoining next half an hour, hull nhs choir, they will be joining us next half an hour, hull nhs choir, they will bejoining us in next half an hour, hull nhs choir, they will be joining us in windsor, they will be joining us in windsor, they performed last night on stage in the concert so we will find out how it was for them.— in the concert so we will find out how it was for them. thank you very much indeed. _ how it was for them. thank you very much indeed, windsor looking i how it was for them. thank you very| much indeed, windsor looking lovely this morning. find much indeed, windsor looking lovely this morning-— this morning. and we will also hear from lana this morning. and we will also hear from lang lang _ this morning. and we will also hear from lang lang who _ this morning. and we will also hear from lang lang who performed i this morning. and we will also hearj from lang lang who performed last night on the piano. the metropolitan police has updated the number of people it arrested
7:08 am
in london on the day of the king's coronation, mostly on suspicion of conspiring to cause a public nuisance. among the 64 people held was the head of the anti—monarchy group republic, who described the arrests as a "direct attack on our democracy" but the government insisted the force got the balance right. four people have been charged and will appear in court later this month, two under the public order act and two for alleged drug possession. a gunman who killed eight people at a us shopping mall has been named by authorities. mauricio garcia, who was 33, used an assault rifle during the attack in dallas, texas, on saturday. he was shot dead by a police officer at the scene. russia has launched another wave of missile and drone strikes against ukraine overnight, hitting cities including odesa, where a warehouse was set on fire. the attacks come as russia prepares to mark victory day tomorrow, the country's annual commemoration of the defeat of nazi germany. gp surgeries in england will receive £240 million to improve
7:09 am
the technology they use to communicate with patients, the department of health has announced. it's part of a wider government plan which is expected later this week to address the problems many people face when trying to make an on—the—day appointment. labour and some gps have said much more help is needed to ease pressure on primary care. more phone lines is fine, that's ok, giving us £250 million is ok, we need that investment but actually we needed that investment a long time ago. in 2019 we we promised 6000 extra gps, now 825 gps less full—time who are not working, and in some patches, sally, we have got 250,000 patients per one gp. and that means that the demand is so huge. our political correspondent peter saull can tell us more about this plan. and the reaction to it. peter, good
7:10 am
morning. this follows a poor set of local election results of the conservatives so they will be keen to reset and try to move on. that's riaht, the to reset and try to move on. that's right, the tories _ to reset and try to move on. that's right, the tories lost _ to reset and try to move on. that's right, the tories lost more - to reset and try to move on. that's right, the tories lost more than i right, the tories lost more than 1000 councillors last week and no doubt one of the many complaints they will have heard from voters during the campaign is how difficult it is to get a gp appointment. the chances are if you try to see your doctor, you will have been involved in the atm scramble on the phones. ministers are trying to address that fundamental problem this morning by putting this extra money out there which will go towards more digital systems, that they hope will mean that you will not get an engaged tone when you are on the phone, you will either be put in a queue or get a call back at some point later in the day. the hope is as well that better digital online booking systems will relieve the pressure on the phones. many gp surgeries already have these kind of systems in place, labour says this does not address the main problem which is a lack of gps, we might see more on
7:11 am
that in the plan this week. a clear attempt by the government this morning to put the attention on delivery after that chastening set of local election results last week. we are expected to hear from the prime minister later today the first time since the extent of those losses became clear.- time since the extent of those losses became clear. thank you, peter. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. carroll normally brings us to sunshine when she can bet she is bringing us a great big black cloud! yes, i would certainly take my amble out today! we have got rain moving east —— my umbrella out today. we have got rain moving west to east today. it is wet across much of scotland at the moment but it is not cold, and it will continue in this
7:12 am
vein this morning. we will see it dry up in northern ireland, but the firstjoint of rain is pushing to the east and a second one is extending into wales into the south—west and western scotland. all of this with a lot of cloud in between continues to push eastwards, and then it brightens up behind us all. as it brightens up and the sun comes out, it will spark quite a few showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. especially across northern ireland. more rain coming in by the end of the date with extensive cloud into the south—west. these are the temperatures. ten in the north to 19 in norwich, top temperature. this evening and overnight, the rain in the south pushes to the east, we will see some clear skies but we will continue also with some showers. it will not be cold, tomorrow we say goodbye to the rain early doors and again it is a mixture of sunshine and showers but again some of those will be thundery.
7:13 am
thank you very much, not for the thunder, but for the weather! we've been speaking this morning about the government's plan to relieve pressure on gps, part of which will be to encourage more patients to use their local pharmacy for minor ailments. but bbc research has found that the number of community chemists is falling. england lost 160 of them in the last two years, and the total number is at its lowest since 2015. some pharmacists are warning that, without immediate support, more will close their doors permanently. our health editor hugh pym reports. i'm a second generation pharmacist. my mum and dad set up the pharmacy in 1982 so we'vejust had our 40 year anniversary. preparing for the morning rush in birmingham. i hear lovely stories about my dad and how he helped so many patients when they couldn't get support and advice from their gps. but for the first time in their history this pharmacy made a loss. thank you. staff shortages, higher costs
7:14 am
and more people wanting help is making life difficult for pharmacists like sanj. we would love to help support the government, support the nhs, help gps, but we can't do it with the financial constraints that we're on. we can't give the advice, we can't be there for our patients. and for some of those patients, speaking to their local chemist is a lifeline. they've dealt with my my sister's meds, my meds, my mum's meds, the whole family. and if i've ever had a problem, couldn't get into a doctor's, i've come here and they've helped me out a lot _ don't go to the hospital, go to your gp. don't go to your gp, go to the pharmacy. so if you haven't got the pharmacy, where do you go? i really don't know what to suggest. we are full with deliveries, so i could try and get it out but it would be the middle of next week. tough to make those calls? yes, very. there's more and more people wanting delivery and we just can't get them all in. it's not right, but what can we do?
7:15 am
they've got the potential to do so much more at a point when the nhs overall is under such strain. those representing pharmacists in england say real terms government funding has been cut, though they hope a new plan will improve things. what everyone learnt during the pandemic was one of the two places that will stay open is a pharmacy, so lots more people are coming for advice and support that we're not paid to provide. and actually what we've been saying to ministers is we're part of the solution because we can provide access. have we got a new prescription for this aspirin? 300 miles away in the scottish borders, a solution's already in place. it's a formal contract with the scottish government. unlike in england, pharmacies get paid for every consultation and some can prescribe medication for patients. i used to have an english pharmacy, but i sold it and all the outlets we have now are in scotland. the scottish contract is much more patient focused. they like to get a problem sorted
7:16 am
as quick as they can. seeing the gp is long, laborious process here and the pharmacists are able to do certain things the gp would just done anyway. yeah, i think it's very important, especially if you're not sure what's wrong with you or something and just feel, should i be bothering the doctor or not? is it a 60 dose, do you use a 60 dose? the department of health said the services pharmacists could provide in england were being increased and extra investment had been announced. the government want pharmacies to take on more of a role in community health care. what's your message to them? i'd hope rishi sunak could understand the situation that we're in. his mother was a pharmacist, father was a gp so they're in health care. they understand the pressures, they understand the value that we can offer to our communities. would you like him to come here and see for himself? i've love him to come and see, to see what what we do again, how patients feel about what we offer. and actually that this is serious and that the sector is crumbling.
7:17 am
it is going to fall down like a stack of dominoes if there's not intervention urgently. that was our health editor, hugh pym. we are nowjoined by thorrun govind, chair of the royal pharmaceutical society. good morning, thank you for coming in. this research that the bbc has done refers to england, it's quite interesting comparing the situation, pharmacies in england, with other parts of the uk. pharmacies in england, with other parts of the uk-— parts of the uk. absolutely and there is so _ parts of the uk. absolutely and there is so much _ parts of the uk. absolutely and there is so much more - parts of the uk. absolutely and there is so much more than i parts of the uk. absolutely and there is so much more than we| parts of the uk. absolutely and i there is so much more than we would like to be doing in england if we were supported with the funding situation. in scotland they have independent prescribers which means that you can go to your pharmacy and access a prescriber who can support you with your house, and we would like to be doing the same in england. —— with your health. there are closures, there is precious on our staff, are closures, there is precious on ourstaff, if are closures, there is precious on our staff, if you go in, there is an increasing volume of people going through our doors. we are pleased to
7:18 am
see people using pharmacies but we need the funding to support that. irate need the funding to support that. we heard people talking about how important particularly in scotland, how important the pharmacy is for them. do you feel that there is a waste here, people are wasting time, there is a lack of opportunity for pharmacists to do more? i there is a lack of opportunity for pharmacists to do more?- there is a lack of opportunity for pharmacists to do more? i think we are really ambitious. _ pharmacists to do more? i think we are really ambitious. working i pharmacists to do more? i think we are really ambitious. working in i pharmacists to do more? i think we| are really ambitious. working in the pharmacy, there are often occasions where i know what treatment is required but i can't provide it because i am hindered by the system. what sort of thing, what could you be helping us with that does not happen now?— be helping us with that does not ha en now? happen now? some evil might need su ort for happen now? some evil might need support for fund _ happen now? some evil might need support for fund -- _ happen now? some evil might need support for fund -- some _ happen now? some evil might need support for fund -- some people i support forfund —— some people might need support for fungal nail infections, but the cost is quite high if you need to use it for a long period of time. so they say, i need to go to the gp and get a prescription because it will cost me less in the long term. in a cost of living crisis, pharmacists are really accessible, 20 minutes away from most people, and the staff tend to be from the communities. from

7:23 am
god save the king! after all the pomp and pageantry of the coronation ceremony, it was time to party. communities coming together across the generations. the bunting and the balloons out in force. little children enjoying theirfirst big lunch, cars banished from the roads, replaced by cake, lots of cake, and coronation quiche. even the dogs decided to make an effort, and unlike on saturday, the rain mainly stayed away. this isn't a bad location for a spot of lunch. downing street, and the guest of honour, jill biden, first lady of the united states. while in windsor, the phones straining for photos could only mean one thing, the arrival of members of the royal family. even if for one little girl, suddenly being in the spotlight was rather overwhelming. then there was the glitz and glamour of the concert. maybe not quite so glamorous
7:24 am
when you decide to turn up 12 hours early to get a prime spot to see olly murs. but super fansjess and rachel did get a spot on bbc breakfast. so what time did you get up this morning? 4:30am. really early. olly himself declared he was impressed by the dedication and even as night fell, they were still going strong. what's clear is the coronation weekend has been the perfect excuse for a selfie. whether it's the double act of katy perry and stella mccartney, or miss piggy and kermit. and the celebrations aren't over yet. plenty of chances to pose for more pictures today. that was fun! i know those two! we had a great — that was fun! i know those two! we had a great afternoon _ that was fun! i know those two! we had a great afternoon in _ that was fun! i know those two! we had a great afternoon in mortlake i that was fun! i know those two! we | had a great afternoon in mortlake in london. . . , had a great afternoon in mortlake in london. ., ., , ., had a great afternoon in mortlake in london. ., ., , , london. that was a proper street -a . london. that was a proper street party- tell _ london. that was a proper street party- tell me — london. that was a proper street party- tell me you _ london. that was a proper street party. tell me you had _ london. that was a proper street party. tell me you had cake. i london. that was a proper street party. tell me you had cake. so l london. that was a proper street i party. tell me you had cake. so much cake. sandwiches, _ party. tell me you had cake. so much cake. sandwiches, coronation - cake. sandwiches, coronation

7:28 am
on our democracy". but the government insisted the force got the balance right. four people have been charged and will appear in court later this month — two under the public order act, and two for alleged drug possession. investigations are continuing into three fatal stabbings in east london within eight hours of each other on friday. a i6—year—old boy was ambushed leaving school on markhouse road before being stabbed to death. no arrests have been made. separately, three people have been arrested after a man in his late twenties was killed in mare street in hackney. and less than an hour later, an 18—year—old died in a fight involving machetes near dagenham heathway station. one man's been arrested there. a community group in lewisham has developed its own block of flats and is selling them only to locals. the homes are being sold at a much cheaper rate, based on average local income levels. the group says it's a solution to the lack of affordable housing available in london.
7:29 am
we have an independent panel that assesses the applications, and they'll be looking at things like local connection to the area. so, that'll be five years or more, whether it's you live here, your kids go to school here. volunteers will plant fowers in tribute to her late majesty the queen in green park later. wild blue flowers will be planted in the spot where the public previously laid tributes following her death. the blooms will eventually map out the river tyburn, which used to run through the park and under the buckingham palace. let's take a look at the tubes now. the waterloo and city line is closed. but otherwise, a good service. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there may be a little bit of brightness first thing this morning, but soon the cloud increases and we see some heavy rain arriving. you can see the progression of the cloud through the night
7:30 am
edging in from the west and that band of heavy rain approaching. so, that cloud will continue to increase and thicken, and become a little lower, then the heavy rain moves through. so, becoming quite damp today, a breezier day than yesterday. the rain slowly moving eastwards, but likely to stay damp through the afternoon. temperatures today still reaching around 16 celsius. certainly feeling cooler than yesterday afternoon. overnight, yet more heavy rain on the way, gradually clearing eastwards through the early hours, dawn still looking cloudy but a little drier. minimum temperature, double figures, ao again, a mild night. for tuesday, low pressure still in charge. it's a cloudy start, but the cloud will break up and we will see some sunny spells developing. that could spark off some heavy, potentially thundery, showers. the unsettled theme continues through the week. that's it from me — much more on our website and on the bbc news app, including some lovely pictures from last nights concert in windsor. i”l be back in half an hour.
7:31 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we are reflecting on that tremendous concert last night. last night's coronation concert saw a host of global music icons on stage in windsor. but it wasn't just those familiar faces. more than 300 community and amateur performers from across the uk also took part. the coronation choir was made up of 18 different singing groups, including representatives from the nhs, refugee choirs and deaf—signing choirs. let's hear them in action. # there's going to be brighter days # brighter days # brothers and sisters of the world

7:39 am
brought them yet another trophy. chris mclaughlin saw them claim title number 53. the sight of celebrating celtic fans in glasgow is nothing new in recent yea rs. just don't tell them these days aren't still special. for those who secured the party, for most of the season it was a case of when, not if. a 2—0 win over hearts made it official. japanese striker kyoko got them going with his 30th of the season. ten minutes before time, oh made it two, and that was that. typical of a celtic team who have been clinical and ruthless under manager ange postecoglou. 11 titles in 12 years, and in with a chance of making it five trebles in seven years, celtic, for now, seem unstoppable. so, in a city where football is life and winning is everything, once again it is the celtic fans who celebrate. their side's dominance of scottish football continues.
7:40 am
chris mclaughlin, bbc news, celtic park. since losing to manchester city last month, arsenal have won twice to make sure the premier league leaders aren't sitting too comfortably. their 2—0 win at newcastle takes them back to within a point of the top. both teams hit the post in a thrilling game between third and second. only arsenal with the goals though. martin odegaard's strike from 25 yards was the first. the second, an own goal with around 20 minutes to go, sealing a crucial win. you have to continue to go. we've done it for ten months. we have to keep digging every single day. the demands are incredibly high, we know that. but we are doing what we have to do, is to win football matches again, performing really well, competing really well. there's three games to go and we are still there. newcastle losing affects the race for champions league football, tightened further by a defeat too for manchester united, whose goalkeeper david de gea still has the backing of his boss despite a blunder leading to them
7:41 am
losing 1—0 at west ham. united could have gone third with a victory at the london satdium, but this horrible error from de gea gifted said benrahma a goal, sealing back to back defeats for his team. west ham's three points though have put some breathing space between them and the relegation zone. got to show you this from after the game, declan rice was still out on the pitch after doing his media work — and was introduced to a fan who was upset. the england international was on his phone. of course he was. but then have a listen... are you good? why are you crying? come here. good lad. come on. don't show them that. i will give you another one. there you go. and i've
7:42 am

7:43 am
with a 7—0 thrashing of everton. pernille harder scored twice. and they've got two games in hand over both united above them and manchester city, who are below them after losing yesterday. red bull's dominant start to the season has been so emphatic even their team principal is wondering where the opposition is. world champion max verstappen went from ninth to first to win the miami grand prix, setting up red bull's fourth one—two of the season already. verstappen's teammate sergio perez had started on pole position, but took the lead after he'd pitted 25 laps later than the mexican. aston martin's fernando alonso finished third. and the red bull boss christian horner admitted the team had never had a start to the season like this, and asked, where are the others...? andy murray has won his first tournament in four years with a victory at the atp challenger event in aix—en—provence, a first title on clay since 2016. he entered the tournament quite late on in order to practice ahead of the french open.
7:44 am
and it couldn't have gone much better. murray did lose the first set of the final against american tommy paul, but came back to win in three. the second grand slam of the year starts in paris at the end of the month. coverage is a little bit different! it is great to see him do so well. a win is a win. yes indeed. thank you. every time we've spoken to carol this morning i have said, look, there is a big black cloud. look what she has done now. she has of the blue sky. good morning- _ she has of the blue sky. good morning. this _ she has of the blue sky. good morning. this was _ she has of the blue sky. good| morning. this was yesterday's she has of the blue sky.

out on important life experiences this summer because of the high cost of a family day out. go beyond says it has "serious concerns" that young people could be left isolated and lacking confidence as many outings become unaffordable. gp surgeries in england will receive £240 million to improve the technology they use to communicate with patients, the department of health has announced. it's part of a wider government plan, which is expected later this week, to address the problems many people face when trying to make an on—the—day appointment. labour and some gps have said much more help is needed to ease pressure on primary care. getting more phone lines is fine, that's ok, giving us £250 million is ok, we need that investment but actually we needed that investment a long time ago. in 2019 we were promised 6000 extra gps, now 825 gps less full—time who are not working, and in some patches, sally, we have got 250,000
8:10 am
patients per one gp. and that means that the demand is so huge. our political correspondent peter saull can tell us more about this plan. good morning, peter. this news follows a really poor set of local election results for the conservatives, doesn't it yes, a lot of sense that the voters were punishing incentives for various different problems in england, one of those problems is the problem of getting a gp appointment. ii it of those problems is the problem of getting a gp appointment.— getting a gp appointment. if it was not a bank holiday _ getting a gp appointment. if it was not a bank holiday today, - getting a gp appointment. if it was not a bank holiday today, around i not a bank holiday today, around this time there would be many people desperately trying to get through to their local gp surgeries. this money would be spread across the country so surgeries can invest in better known systems to deal with the volume of calls. for the patient it should mean that you don't get an engaged tone, you will be placed in a queue or told you will get a call back later in the day. the government also wants an investment in online booking systems to relieve
8:11 am
the pressure on the phone. many gp surgeries already have this kind of thing in place and labour says, quotes, better hold music will not just the real problem here which is a lack of gps. we are expecting to hear from the a lack of gps. we are expecting to hearfrom the prime minister a lack of gps. we are expecting to hear from the prime minister later on today, this is the first time we will hear from on today, this is the first time we will hearfrom rishi sunak since on today, this is the first time we will hear from rishi sunak since the early hours of friday morning before most of those local election losses for the tories started to come in. the pressure is really growing on him now to deliver the promises that the government continues to make. we have been reflecting on some amazing images and sounds over the weekend. it wasn't just king charles who received a crown over the weekend. a gloucestershire town also held a ceremony to honour its official "coronation chicken". god save the chick—queen! hip hip, hurray! hip hip, hurray!

8:21 am
bringing that extra money. we will talk about the legacy of that, whether that will continue once the competition finishes next weekend, but first, hannah has been taking a look at where the money has been spent and the skills and training that have come ahead of it. # well, shake it up baby, now # twist and shout.# liverpool doing what liverpool does best. entertainment already spilling out onto the streets in a city that's always up for a party. the karaoke has popped up out of thisjewellers, where inside, they're working on musically—themed jewellery. that's a guitar? that's a guitar, yeah. it's a treble clef. we've got some cufflinks in the shape of a guitar, which, you know, we hope to do really well throughout the eurovision. i think it's a huge opportunity. obviously we've got thousands of people coming to liverpool. we can showcase what liverpool is about. does it feel like it has already lifted people's spirits? oh, yeah, definitely, yeah. hi, i'm wondering if you have any jobs available for eurovision?
8:22 am
and people likejoel are seeking out ways to get involved. if you can send your cv today to this e—mail address, - and put your subject heading 'eurovision'... _ at these pop—up shops trying to recruit people to work in hotels, attractions, logistics, to name but a few, there is hope that even the temporaryjobs created by eurovision could be life changing for some. people might try something that maybe they have not tried before. it could be a career change for them. it could be starting out on the career pathway as a student or whatever else. and actually, we might then be able to move them into work after eurovision. so our strapline has been, eurovision and beyond. eurovision is the springboard. it's attracted people, and numbers, that we would not have seen previously, and people from outside of the job centre community. so, you know, those people perhaps have retired early and seeing this, some of this looks a bit of fun, but maybe it will attract them to come back to work and do a little bit more and contribute to the economy as we move forward.

in ukraine they call these rashki, these little brown shrimps. at this restaurant they are creating a special ukrainian—inspired menu using local ingredients. how many of these are you expecting to do? well, i think because we've got probably over 100,000 extra visitors coming to liverpool in the next two weeks, and we've put these dishes on both menus, so i think we're probably going to be quite a few! i hope we are anyway. i'd be very upset if we weren't doing loads of them now. but, yeah, something tells me we're going to be quite busy, yeah. how much is this needed right now? i know for a fact that it's given people hope, and made them continue to do business rather than potentially close the doors and just hang up their clogs, or hang up their keys, or whatever. i don't think this could have come at a better time. and many businesses hope the legacy lasts well beyond this week, a showcase for a city embracing its moment to shine. hannah miller, bbc news, liverpool.

8:32 am
a community group in lewisham has developed its own block of flats and is selling them only to locals. the homes are being sold at a much cheaper rate, based on average local income levels. the group says it's a solution to the lack of affordable housing available in london. we have an independent panel that assesses the applications, and they'll be looking at things like local connection to the area. so, that'll be five years or more, whether it's you live here, your kids go to school here. the big help out gets underway today as part of the coronation bank holiday weekend. more than 1500 charities, including the scouts, are taking part, all hoping to create a lasting legacy of encourage more of us to get involved in volunteering. let's take a look at the tubes now. the waterloo and city line is closed, but
8:33 am
otherwise a good service. and for all the latest travel news where you are tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there may be a little bit of brightness first thing this morning, but soon the cloud increases and we see some heavy rain arriving. you can see the progression of the cloud through the night edging in from the west and that band of heavy rain approaching. so, that cloud will continue to increase and thicken, and become a little lower, then the heavy rain moves through. so, becoming quite damp today, a breezier day than yesterday. the rain slowly moving eastwards, but likely to stay damp through the afternoon. temperatures today still reaching around 16 celsius. certainly feeling cooler than yesterday afternoon. overnight, yet more heavy rain on the way, gradually clearing eastwards through the early hours, dawn still looking cloudy but a little drier. minimum temperature, double figures, ao again, a mild night. for tuesday, low pressure still in charge. it's a cloudy start,
8:34 am
but the cloud will break up and we will see some sunny spells developing. that could spark off some heavy, potentially thundery, showers. the unsettled theme continues through the week. that's it from me. much more on our website and on the bbc news app, including some lovely pictures from last night's concert in windsor. i”! be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. if saturday was about pomp and pageantry, and yesterday was about parties and pop music, then the third day of this coronation weekend is all about giving something back. it's a national day of volunteering called the big help out. yetunde yusuf is at a park in wembley, in north west london, where the scouts
