6:01 am
stun brighton 5—1 to move out of the bottom three, but it was a grim day for leicester and southampton. with the first eurovision semifinal tonight, we look at how liverpool has embraced the joy. good morning. the next few days, we are looking at the forecast of sunshine and showers, some will be heavy and thundery and some will be slow moving. by friday, things will be more settled. it's tuesday the 9th of may. the metropolitan police has expressed "regret" for arresting six anti—monarchy protestors before the king's coronation on saturday. the six, who included the head of the campaign group republic, were held on suspicion of planning to disrupt the event but released without charge when the arresting officers failed to provide sufficient evidence.
6:02 am
the met police insists it did not intend to prevent protests, as aruna iyengar reports. not my king! the coronation pleased many but not everyone. graham smith, the leader of anti—monarchy group republic, seen on the ground here, was arrested along with five others early on saturday as he collected placards from a van. the six were arrested under a new law passed only last week that makes it an offence to go equipped for locking on. it's thought luggage straps used for holding placards could have been used for this purpose. the met said...
6:03 am
the met added that officers had been briefed to be extremely vigilant and proactive because of information that people were looking to seriously disrupt the event. we want information as to why we had four months of briefings in which we were told that all of our plans were absolutely acceptable and fine, well within the law, and then we were arrested. we want to know where those decisions came from. i'd like to know if there was any pressure from the home office and the home secretary. and i would invite a very clear and frank admission and an apology. in total, 64 arrests were made on saturday, and four charges have been made, but these weren't for and four charges have been made. the prime minister denies officers acted under any pressure from ministers, and defended the police operation. apart from chanting, there was no disruption to the coronation procession. graham smith says officers came to his home to apologise but he maintains that police made a very serious error ofjudgment and is considering legal action.
6:04 am
aruna iyengar, bbc news. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. good morning, nick. this is obviously about policing, but there is a lot of politics to this as well. . . is a lot of politics to this as well. ., . g ., is a lot of politics to this as well. , , ., , well. therace, jon, because a highly controversial— well. therace, jon, because a highly controversial piece _ well. therace, jon, because a highly controversial piece of _ well. therace, jon, because a highly controversial piece of legislation, i controversial piece of legislation, the public order act, was passed just a few weeks ago, which gave the police new powers to arrest people who are under suspicion of taking part in activities like looking on, basically that is where you lock yourself to an object to try and cause disruption. that is part of a protest. that's what six people were arrested for on friday, suspicion that they were going to take part in those activities. they have been released with any further charges,
6:05 am
there is not going to be any further action taken, and that is inevitably going to lead to some questions about whether that legislation gets the balance right. the government always argued that protest had changed and evolved, there was a lot more disruption, when you look at things like climate protest, so new powers were needed by the police, and the police had asked for them. a lot of politicians said that this goes too far, it undermines the right to free protest, i did good lead to incidents like —— and it could lead to incidents like once we saw at the weekend where some politicians argue that the police went too far. so far the government has said, the prime minister said yesterday that he thinks the police acted appropriately throughout the day although he will not talk about that specific decision when it comes to these arrests. inevitably there are going to be a lot more questions for the government today about whether the police took the right action, and whether this legislation
6:06 am
creates some pretty dangerous precedent. creates some pretty dangerous precedent-— creates some pretty dangerous recedent. ., ~ , ., , , ., ~ precedent. thank you, we will speak to a government _ precedent. thank you, we will speak to a government minister— precedent. thank you, we will speak to a government minister later - precedent. thank you, we will speak to a government minister later in . to a government minister later in the programme. pharmacies in england will be able to prescribe the contraceptive pill, and medication for common health conditions, under new government plans to ease pressure on gps. it follows the announcement of £240 million to upgrade gp practices' phone and online booking systems but primary care leaders say the measures won't solve staff shortages. with more details, here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. you could be waiting weeks and weeks and weeks just for an appointment. it's quite disheartening, really. it is, it's disappointing i think it's the word. . but it's everywhere. it's our nhs that's - supposed to be so good. portsmouth, one of the worst places to get a gp appointment. here, the number of patients for each doctor is the second highest in england and like many areas, services are on their knees. it feels like a tsunami of need that is coming through to us and it
6:07 am
feels quite demoralising that we are not managing to meet that need. you ok, you being served? today the government promised to improve gp services under new plans. £645 million will be spent over two years to allow pharmacists to prescribe antibiotics for conditions including earache, sore throats and urinary tract infections. and they'll double the number of blood pressure checks they carry out. and patients will be able to book physiotherapy and podiatry services without going through a doctor. new phone systems will be offered to some gps and training for receptionists to direct calls to a range of services, including physios and nurses. the plan today is a really big part of trying to recognise the level of pressure on primary care to innovate, to adapt services, to meet that pressure and to meet the needs of our patients. hello, there.
6:08 am
hi. you know me, drjones. but the royal college of gps has questioned the plans and said what's needed are thousands more family doctors. the government promised an extra 6,000 at the last election, but ministers are on track to miss that target. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. ambulance workers in south east england will go on strike for ten hours today in a long—running dispute over pay. the planned action, which starts at midday, comes after the unite union rejected a 5% pay deal offered to nhs staff in england last month. the department of health said the strike was "disappointing". the advice for patients is to call 999 in a life—threatening emergency, and use 111 for anything non—urgent. russia is putting extra security measures in place for the annual victory day parade in moscow, which celebrates the defeat of nazi germany in the second world war. this year's event has been scaled back after a series of explosions and drone attacks, which the kremlin has blamed on ukraine.
6:09 am
red square, where the parade takes place, will be closed to the public. the co—founder of the technology giant apple, steve wozniak, has told the bbc he thinks artificial intelligence is going to make scams and misinformation harder to spot. the computer pioneer said anything created by ai should be clearly labelled and he fears the booming sector will not get the strict regulation that he believes it needs. i think the forces that drive for money compared to the forces that drive for caring about us, for love, for feelings, for emotions, i think the forces that drive for money usually win out, you know. it's sort of sad. a barge which will house 500 male migrants has arrived in the uk from italy. it'll be moored in dorset but first it needs to be
6:10 am
re—fitted in falmouth, cornwall. 0ur west of england correspondent danjohnson is there. what can you tell us about this barge and how it is actually going to be used?— to be used? this is the first look that we have _ to be used? this is the first look that we have had _ to be used? this is the first look that we have had at _ to be used? this is the first look that we have had at this - to be used? this is the first look that we have had at this barge i to be used? this is the first look- that we have had at this barge which has been chartered by the home office for the next 18 months. this is the first time we have seen it arriving in uk waters. it has been towed from italy and it's coming to cornwall, to falmouth festival, for a refit in the docks. it is expected to be there for three or four weeks before it is then moored in portland in dorset, where it will house 500 male asylum seekers who will be towards the end of the asylum process. there has been a huge amount of concern and criticism that the government is going to house asylum seekers in a combination like that which the home office itself saysis that which the home office itself says is only supposed to be basic and functional. there is also local
6:11 am
opposition in portland about the impact that that barge and its residents could potentially have on the local population, the local services there which they say are already under pressure and can't cope. this is ourfirst look at already under pressure and can't cope. this is our first look at this barge is going to be contentious. there's been a huge amount of political debate about the government strategy here but the says it wants to get the hotel built that it says it wants to get the hotel built thatitis says it wants to get the hotel built that it is currently housing asylum seekers down, it wants to house them in place like this while it goes to those claims.— in place like this while it goes to those claims. that barge which is set to hold _ those claims. that barge which is set to hold 500 _ those claims. that barge which is set to hold 500 men _ those claims. that barge which is set to hold 500 men just - those claims. that barge which is set to hold 500 men just making| those claims. that barge which is i set to hold 500 men just making its way into port. low—income pensioners entitled to pension credit are being urged to claim it within the next ten days or risk missing out on an extra cost—of—living payment worth £301. it is thought that as many as 850,000 households fail to claim the benefit and the government is urging family members to help older relatives to check if they're eligible. graham satchell has this report.
6:12 am
businesses are being urged to reduce the amount of alcohol served at work social events, to prevent inappropriate behaviour. the chartered management institute has released a poll, suggesting a third of managers have witnessed harassment or inappropriate behaviour at parties. the warning comes after the business lobby group, the cbi, was plunged into crisis following allegations of rape and sexual misconduct at a summer work event in 2019. it is 12 minutes past six, thank you forjoining us. another bank holiday weekend over. another one still to come! let's see what the weather is looking like today. good morning everybody. if you have not stepped out yet, it is a mild start, 12 to 13 degrees, but a lot
6:13 am
of cloud around, low cloud across the south—west and wales in particular producing some rain. in the next few days, sunny spells and slow—moving showers. some will be with hail. this is the rain pushing away into the north sea, a rash of showers around the country, a lot of dry weather to start, we could still see the mist and fog patches forming in northern ireland. we will see some heavy and thundery showers moving in across the south—west of england but generally through the day it is a mixture of sunshine and showers. the showers are hit and miss and by the end of the afternoon it will be brightening up quite nicely across scotland, north—west england and wales. a few more showers getting into northern ireland. temperatures today, ten to 17 degrees north to south. as we head to the evening and overnight, eventually the showers fade, clearer skies for a time, more showers are
6:14 am
going to come in across the west and some of those will merge. by the end of the night, an east—west split, some dockets of mist and fog forming as well. it will not be a cold night, somewhere in north—east scotland could see four or five. some sunshine in the east to start but once again showers in the west, developing more widely through the course of tomorrow, and again some of them will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. gusty winds in the south—west, these are the temperatures, if anything slipping a little bit. some potentially good news this morning for people who may be struggling to get onto the property ladder, the uk's first zero deposit mortgage, available exclusively for renters. ben can tell us more. good news for some people? potentially, to try to solve the problem where people are renting and
6:15 am
their monthly outgoings would be less if they had a mortgage but they cannot get a mortgage because they cannot get a mortgage because they cannot save up for a deposit so they are stop stuck paying high rents. yes, if you're saving for a deposit for your first home it can often feel like an uphill struggle particularly with all the rising costs you might be facing right now. now one lender, the skipton building society, is offering a zero—deposit mortgage for those currently renting. you'll need a good credit history and a record of at least 12 months rent payments made on time. what makes it different from the other 100% mortgages currently on offer is that you don't need the financial backing of family or friends. its offered at a five—year fixed rate and it is slightly higher than the current average five year rate. the rising cost of living has made it more difficult for people to save for a deposit. the average rent outside london is currently more than £1,000 a month, a big stretch for many people
6:16 am
to afford, never mind save. of course, the cost of borrowing is at its highest since the financial crisis of 2008 with predictions that the bank of england will increase interest rates again later this week. so even those with mortgages are facing ever higher costs. it is also worth saying that not everyone in rented accommodation hoping to buy a home will be helped by this new tariff either. you'll still have to pass normal credit and affordability checks, ruling out many with a poor credit rating. skipton building society says it's confident its new offer will sell out quickly but acknowledge it's only part of a solution to the wider issue of helping people onto the property ladder. i think this is a really important step forward and i'm really excited about this product and delighted that we are here and we're launching it. but i think the key thing here is that there is that continued innovation,
6:17 am
continued steps forward to support a wide variety of people on the property ladder, and there isn't one size fits all. so that's why it's really important to take a pragmatic approach to thinking about what do people need, how to respond to that, and support people. campaigners at generation rent say it's a step in the right direction but say there are still far too few affordable homes being built. and we want to hear from you this morning, are you a first time buyer struggling to get on the ladder> send us your messages and questions in the usual way via twitter email, or of course via whatsapp, you simply scan the qr code and send your message in and we'll put them to a mortgage advisor a little later in the programme. lots of people looking at mortgages, you have to make sure you take on

6:19 am
the paper is quoting research by the consumer group which? claiming that two million households missed at least one bill in april. and online, one of the most read stories on the bbc website is about the prince and princess of wales' children, george, charlotte and louis mucking in with a scout group, as part of the big help 0ut. i'm going to try and bring you a little bit of natural history science, are you ready? can little bit of natural history science, are you ready? can you do a david attenborough _ science, are you ready? can you do a david attenborough voice? _ science, are you ready? can you do a david attenborough voice? no, - science, are you ready? can you do a david attenborough voice? no, i- david attenborough voice? no, i can't! this _ david attenborough voice? no, i can't! this gorgeous _ david attenborough voice? no, i can't! this gorgeous cute - david attenborough voice? no, i can't! this gorgeous cute little i can't! this gorgeous cute little frog, one of the world's oldest frogs, might be even more unusual than previously thought. it's not the kind of frog you see around here. not only does it eat insects, it also seems to thrive on fruit and pollen. so scientists say it is frog

6:22 am
gloriously diverse carnival. take croatia. i mean, you're not really very eurovision, are you? no, we're not. yeah, that's an understatement. so why i decided to take them out for a drink to a liverpool landmark is anyone's guess. you have a reputation for being outrageous. some say that. it's a matter of opinion. are you going to behave yourselves on the night? yes, we will. i would call that a wry smile. and their song? so that first line is "mother bought me a tractor." yeah.
6:23 am
mother bought me a tractor. yeah. let's just say it's a song open to interpretation. eurovision, you see, has a no politics rule. so let 3 are keeping it subtle. the whole point is to spread the message in a subtle way, not directly, never. hi, there. but there's one political message eurovision is happy to embrace, something which has brought sweden's loreen, who won in 2012, back to the show. the community. i call a community, like this, i mean, if you look at it, you're accepted regardless of where you're from, what your sexual preferences is, your religion, whatever you come with, as long as you come with love and respect. you're welcome. 0h! and with that, i thought i'd show loreen what the choir had been doing
6:24 am
with the song she won with in 2012. # euphoria! it is so beautiful. it's nice when people make their own versions and their own thing. you know, this is so beautiful. ijust wanted to show it, i wanted to show it to you. thank you for that, thank you for that. itjust made my day. and to end, ourfinal song of the day in liverpool's williamson tunnels. this lot wouldn't be here singing if not for eurovision. no, it was the catalyst for bringing them all back together again. so it's really, it's become a really big thing and it probably wouldn't have happened were it not for eurovision. eurovision, it's more than a song contest. quite what is hard to say.
6:25 am
but this? this sort of captures it. # 0oooh... david sillito, bbc news. cheering. i'm very excited now, jon! everyone is caettin i'm very excited now, jon! everyone is getting excited. _ i'm very excited now, jon! everyone is getting excited. we _ i'm very excited now, jon! everyone is getting excited. we have - i'm very excited now, jon! everyone is getting excited. we have heard . is getting excited. we have heard how liverpool is sounding this money, how is it looking right now? we have got a camera shot of the live building. the we have got a camera shot of the live building-— live building. the live bird is still there, _ live building. the live bird is still there, everything - live building. the live bird is still there, everything is - live building. the live bird is still there, everything is all| still there, everything is all right. —— the liver bird is still there. hasn't fled! rain or shine, right. —— the liver bird is still there. hasn't fled! rain orshine, i was there doing some preparation, rain or shine was there doing some preparation, rain orshine it was there doing some preparation, rain or shine it doesn't matter, the sequins are out, the face paint is on, the flower crowns are

6:27 am
track cleaning teams work every night, cleaning up a mixture of human hair, skin and iron oxide that comes from wheels and brakes. the dustiest lines are the central and bakerloo lines. drivers' unions say they have concerns, but tfl insists the air on the tube isn't harmful is it safe? so, it is safe, but there is still particulate matter. so our emphasis is on keeping the dust down. we monitor the dust levels very regularly, and we know that they're within the hse — that's the health & safety executive — limits. police are appealing for witnesses after two men were shot in peckham in south east london. it happened on sunday in lyndhurst way. a person on a moped fired at the victims. their car overturned as they tried to escape. the two who were shot are not thought to have life changing injuries. a third person in the car ran off. north london's mae muller is getting ready to represent the uk

6:29 am
to the north—west of the uk, driving these fronts through, which is going to bring these showers. like i said, very frequent. rumbles of thunder, lightning mixed in there, some hail too. temperatures getting up to a maximum of 17 celsius. we will still have some showers rumbling into the evening, but gradually they will become fewer and further between. the skies clearing, and under those clear skies, the temperatures a little cooler than last night, back down in single figures at seven celsius. it also means a bright start to wednesday, a dry start to wednesday, with some sunshine, but once again low pressure very much in charge. and we're going to see frequent showers again. they could be heavy, thundery, slow—moving. similar conditions for thursday. on friday we start to see a ridge of high pressure just starting to build. and that will bring some slightly drier, more settled conditions, as we head into the weekend. that's it from me. more on our website and the bbc news app. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now let's cross
6:30 am
hello, you're watching breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up to 6:30am. let's return now to the government's plan to overhaul primary care in england, with hundreds of millions of pounds to help community pharmacists to treat more common conditions, and improve gps' phone systems. some primary care leaders have already expressed concern that it doesn't tackle the most pressing issue of staff shortages. let's hear now from two more — gp dr mohit mandiratta, and jay patel, who runs a chain of 260 pharmacies. good morning. jay, shall we start with the pharmacy side of things. the government wants pharmacies to

6:43 am
what was the most pleasing aspect of tonight overall from your point of view? i thinkjust the delivery of a tactical performance, because if it doesn't work, they say you got it wrong. if it does work, they say you got it right. so, that's the way it goes. but the players have delivered it and they deserve a lot of credit, i think. that result makes things worse for leicester city. they were 3—0 down at half—time at fulham, and lost a game 5—3. the last decade has seen leicester win the league and fa cup, but those are now distant memories. they're now in the drop zone, and the foxes' future comes down to their last three matches. but they need a squad with the stomach for it. to get yourselves out of trouble you need to do the basics well and be aggressive and fight. that's why we're down there, because we haven't been good enough. and unfortunately, that showed today. in this relegation race sudden shifts can still happen. nottingham forest faced southampton and lead 2—0. but the saints stayed in touch. the bottom side made this 90 nerve jangling minutes. forest knew a win would
6:44 am
take them three points clear of trouble. with a fourth goal, finally, they had it sealed. it would finish 4—3 to forest, and three crucial games had brought 21 goals. this was premier league football at its most thrilling. and it means so much to stay in it. joe lynskey, bbc news. so much at stake this week. it was a thrilling final day in the championship, but a real sickener for millwall, one of those teams vying to come up. needing a win against blackburn to guarantee a spot in the play—offs, they were 3—1 up and cruising. but any fans watching, look away now. rovers staged an astonishing second half comeback to win 4—3, thanks to this late winner from ben brereton—diaz. blackburn themselves just miss out on the play—offs as well. and that's because sunderland took advantage of millwall's slip up to finish sixth. they were 3—0 winners at preston, with manchester united loanee amad diallo scoring the pick of the goals.
6:45 am
they'll face luton in the play—offs. and coventry booked their place in the play—offs, taking fifth spot after getting the point they needed at middlesbrough. they'll face each other again in the play—offs, which begin on saturday. final day in league two. northampton secured promotion having missed out last season. what a way to seal it — sam hoskins with a brilliant volley against tranmere in a 1—0 win. and no wonder he was leading celebrations as fans poured onto the pitch at the end. a little reminder what goes on behind the scenes. the promotion party was in full swing on the coach back to northampton. you hope it is a long trip back when you are _ you hope it is a long trip back when you are celebrating like that. i�*m you are celebrating like that. i'm 'ust not you are celebrating like that. i'm just not sure _ you are celebrating like that. l“n just not sure about that! you are celebrating like that. i'm just not sure about that! i'm i you are celebrating like that. i'm just not sure about that! i'm not| just not sure about that! i'm not sure the driver— just not sure about that! i'm not sure the driver is _ just not sure about that! i'm not sure the driver is either. - just not sure about that! i'm not sure the driver is either. they i just not sure about that! i'm not i sure the driver is either. they were ready— sure the driver is either. they were ready for— sure the driver is either. they were ready for it. — sure the driver is either. they were ready for it, weren't they? they came _ ready for it, weren't they? they

came prepared. now, is this finally the season manchester city can lift the champions league trophy? it remains the only major piece of silverware that pep guardiola hasn't won in his time at the club. standing in their way are the european champions real madrid — a repeat of the 2022 semi—final in which city led 5—3 on aggregate in the 90th minute, before madrid fought a remarkable comeback. the way we play was really good in both games, again, but it was not enough. but what happened in the past is in the past. we are not here for revenge. it's just another opportunity. as much as we are here, one day we will get it. one will one day we will reach the final and we will win it. we come here to do this this season. but as i said, it's completely different to the previous one. no, in that season also we came here to reach the final and win it. we touched on this yesterday. the

station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a very mild start. a little damp, however. we had some heavy rain overnight. today is a day of thundery showers and some sunny spells. low pressure in charge to the north—west of the uk, driving these fronts through, which is going to bring these showers. like i said, very frequent. rumbles of thunder, lightning mixed in there, some hail too. temperatures getting up to a maximum of 17 celsius. we will still have some showers rumbling into the evening, but gradually they will become fewer and further between. the skies clearing, and under those clear skies, the temperatures a little cooler than last night, back down in single figures at seven celsius. it also means a bright start to wednesday, a dry start to wednesday, with some sunshine, but once again low pressure very much in charge. and we're going to see frequent showers again. they could be heavy, thundery, slow—moving. similar conditions for thursday. on friday we start to see a ridge of high pressure
7:01 am
just starting to build. and that will bring some slightly drier, more settled conditions, as we head into the weekend. that's it from me, more on our website and the bbc news app. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's cross back to sally and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. the metropolitan police expresses 'regret�* over the arrest of six anti—monarchy protesters on coronation day and says no charges will be brought against them. patients will be able to receive some prescription medicines without seeing a gp, under government plans to ease pressure on surgeries.

the emotional moment l edward's father completes his walk after she was shot dead at christmas. three games, 21 goals. a relegation roller—coaster of a day in the premier league as everton stun brighton 5—1 to move out of the bottom three, but it was a grim day for leicester and southampton.. i'll start but for many of us a dry start, the showers will for the next few days, some will be heavy and thundery with hail and slow—moving, and it looks like it is going to settle down by the time we get to the weekend. it's tuesday the 9th of may. our main story. the metropolitan police has expressed "regret" over the arrest of six anti—monarchy protestors before the king's coronation on saturday. they were held on suspicion of planning to disrupt the event but released without charge when the arresting officers failed to provide sufficient evidence. one of those arrested was graham smith, the head of the campaign group republic, who has received a personal
7:03 am
apology from the force, which insists it did not intend to prevent protests. aru na iyengar reports. not my king! the coronation pleased many but not everyone. graham smith, the leader of anti—monarchy group republic, seen on the ground here, was arrested along with five others early on saturday as he collected placards from a van. the six were arrested under a new law passed only last week that makes it an offence to go equipped for locking on. it's thought luggage straps used for holding placards could have been used for this purpose. the met said...
7:04 am
the met added that officers had been briefed to be extremely vigilant and proactive because of information that people were looking to seriously disrupt the event. we want information as to why we had four months of briefings in which we were told that all of our plans were absolutely acceptable and fine, well within the law, and then we were arrested. we want to know where those decisions came from. i'd like to know if there was any pressure from the home office and the home secretary. and i would invite a very clear and frank admission and an apology. in total, 64 arrests were made on saturday, graham smith says officers did visited him to apologise. he maintains the police made a very serious error ofjudgment and is considering legal action. in total, 64 arrests were made on saturday,
7:05 am
and four charges were made. the prime minister denies officers acted under any pressure from ministers, and defended the police operation. apart from chanting, there was no disruption to the coronation procession. aruna iyengar, bbc news. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. good morning, nick. tell us about the legislation that these people were arrested under.— were arrested under. really controversial _ were arrested under. really controversial piece - were arrested under. really controversial piece of - were arrested under. really - controversial piece of legislation, sadly, that was passed a few weeks ago, only actually became law a week ago, only actually became law a week ago —— controversial piece of legislation, sally. controversial because critics said that it raised the possibility that protests could be clamped down on, things that were perfectly legitimate could be stopped by police. the government argued that protest has changed, and if you look at things like the slow marches and some of the climate protests we have seen, that the police needed new powers. they might
7:06 am
have said overnight that they did use part of this new legislation to arrest some of those anti—monarchy protesters, and they say they regret those protesters were not able to take part in the demonstration that took place on saturday. but the big question now is what happens next. the prime minister says he thinks the policing went pretty well but i think there is bound to be further questions for him and the government today about whether this legislation actually gives the police to many powers and can lead to unjust crackdowns on protests. we had from the labour party a few minutes ago, lisa nandy, the shadow cabinet minister, saying clearly something went wrong. interestingly, although labour did not support this legislation, they aren't saying yet that they would scrap it if they were in power. what lisa nandy told us on breakfast is she would look at
7:07 am
whether parts of the law needed to be rectified which is very different from saying they would scrap it altogether. others say it needs to be scrapped completely, the lib dems and the snp for example. the government says it is necessary because protest is changing. thank ou ve because protest is changing. thank you very much- _ pharmacies in england will be able to prescribe the contraceptive pill, and medication for common health conditions, under new government plans to ease pressure on gps. it follows the announcement of £2110 million to upgrade gp practices' phone and online booking systems. but primary care leaders say the measures won't solve staff shortages. with more details, here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. you could be waiting weeks and weeks and weeks just for an appointment. it's quite disheartening, really. it is, it's disappointing i think it's the word. . but it's everywhere. it's our nhs that's - supposed to be so good. portsmouth, one of the worst places to get a gp appointment. here, the number of patients for each doctor is the second
7:08 am
highest in england and like many areas, services are on their knees. it feels like a tsunami of need that is coming through to us and it feels quite demoralising that we are not managing to meet that need. you ok, you being served? today the government promised to improve gp services under new plans. £645 million will be spent over two years to allow pharmacists to prescribe antibiotics for conditions including earache, sore throats and urinary tract infections. and they'll double the number of blood pressure checks they carry out. and patients will be able to book physiotherapy and podiatry services without going through a doctor. new phone systems will be offered to some gps and training for receptionists to direct calls to a range of services, including physios and nurses. the plan today is a really big part of trying to recognise the level of pressure on primary care
7:09 am
to innovate, to adapt services, to meet that pressure and to meet the needs of our patients. hello, there. hi. you know me, drjones. but the royal college of gps has questioned the plans and said what's needed are thousands more family doctors. the government promised an extra 6,000 at the last election, but ministers are on track to miss that target. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. ambulance workers in south—east england will go on strike today for ten hours. the unite union rejected a 5% pay deal offered to nhs workers last month. the na —— department of health said the strike were disappointing. the advice is to call 999 for a life threatening emergency
7:10 am
but 111 for anything less urgent. russia is putting extra security measures in place for the annual victory day parade in moscow, which celebrates the defeat of nazi germany in the second world war. this year's event has been scaled back after a series of explosions and drone attacks, which the kremlin has blamed on ukraine. will vernon is in moscow. it sounds like this will look very similar in some ways but some big differences from previous parades? yes, good morning, jon. a very different atmosphere this year for victory day in moscow, when i think of nervousness and insecurity —— it is one of nervousness and insecurity. there has been a series of drone attacks, explosions and incidents of sabotage across this country in recent weeks. oil depots set on fire, freight train derailed and an attack on the kremlin itself last week and the authorities made a
7:11 am
link between that attack and the preparations for today's victory day events. so i think that shows that there is a lot of nervousness in the kremlin about what could happen today. and additional security measures have been implemented. there will be additional checks, and the use of drones has been banned in moscow stop anti—aircraft systems have been placed in strategic locations around the capital, although some of those have been in place for several months now. and several victory day events have been cancelled in russian regions around the country. so i think of different feel, different atmosphere this year. feel, different atmosphere this ear. . ~' feel, different atmosphere this ear. . ~ , ., y feel, different atmosphere this ear. . ~ , . feel, different atmosphere this ear. . ~' y . ., feel, different atmosphere this ear. . ~ , . ., ., low—income pensioners entitled to pension credit are being urged to claim it within the next ten days or risk missing out on an extra cost—of—living payment worth £301. it is thought that as many

as 850,000 households fail to claim the benefit and the government is urging family members to help older relatives to check if they're eligible. a barge which will house 500 male migrants has arrived in the uk from italy. it'll be moored in dorset, but first it needs to be re—fitted in falmouth, cornwall. our west of england correspondent danjohnson is there. what can you tell us about this barge, i believe that is it in the background of your shot? it barge, i believe that is it in the background of your shot? it might look like a floating _ background of your shot? it might look like a floating block- background of your shot? it might look like a floating block of- background of your shot? it might look like a floating block of flats l look like a floating block of flats but this is the basic and functional accommodation, the home office says, which will house 500 asylum seekers in portland, off the coast of dorset, but first it has to be brought into the harbour in falmouth for a refit. it is currently fitted for a refit. it is currently fitted for 250 oil workers and to get the
7:13 am
capacity up to 500 will involve some refit work. this barge has nobody on it at the moment but it carries a huge amount of symbolism. it has already become a really contentious point of debate, there are refugee charities that are opposed to this, concerned about the conditions on board, there is fierce local opposition in portland in dorset, people saying they don't want this, they cannot take 500 extra people, they cannot take 500 extra people, they say that the community facilities there on the island cannot cope. there is a huge amount of symbolism in this barge because this is the government trying to show that it is taking the small boats problem seriously and saying to migrants that if you come here and apply for asylum having crossed the channel in small boats, you are not going to get luxury accommodation. the government says it is determined to get the number down and the hotel bills down. this barge will be at the centre of intense political debate. thank you very much.

7:20 am
a message, it's this. it's the power of friendship, of laughter, of the strength you mightjust find if you keep putting one foot in front of the other. let's just have a moment to enjoy that. he'll be all right, he's a tough man, he's a strong man. he only come here for a day. that's the type of man he is. you get deep fried mars bars. ifeel like a dad. so when it gets to, like, 5:00, he starts to get a bit grumpy. he needs a nap and a ball. it's good to hear you laugh. you still laughing? yeah. and all of this is done with elle in his heart. there's one amazing photograph that i saw of you and elle on top of a mountain. snowdon.

8:03 am
apology from the force, which insists it did not intend to prevent protests. aru na iyengar reports. not my king! the coronation pleased many but not everyone. graham smith, the leader of anti—monarchy group republic, seen on the ground here, was arrested along with five others early on saturday as he collected placards from a van. the six were arrested under a new law passed only last week that makes it an offence to go equipped for locking on. it's thought luggage straps used for holding placards could have been used for this purpose. the met said...
8:04 am
the met added that officers had been briefed to be extremely vigilant and proactive because of information that people were looking to seriously disrupt the event. we want information as to why we had four months of briefings in which we were told that all of our plans were absolutely acceptable and fine, well within the law, and then we were arrested. we want to know where those decisions came from. i'd like to know if there was any pressure from the home office and the home secretary. and i would like a very clear and frank admission and an apology. graham smith says officers came to his home to apologise but he rejects it, he maintains that police made a very serious error ofjudgment and is considering legal action. in total, 64 arrests were made on saturday, and four charges were made. the prime minister denies officers acted under any pressure from ministers, and defended the police operation. apart from chanting,

ago to make some of those arrests on saturday morning, those six people have now been released and told there are going to be no further actions against them. some politicians have expressed a lot of concern about that, labour's lisa nandy on the programme earlier saying that clearly something had gone wrong. labour is not going as far as to say it would scrap this legislation, if it was in power, lisa nandy told us on breakfasts that she would rectify any issues but labour not saying they would get rid of it completely. other parties like the snp and lib dems are saying that it needs to be scrapped completely because it impinges too much on the right to protest. the government is not budging, it is completely sticking by what it did in passing this new law saying the police are operationally independent but by and large it brings things were dealt with well over the weekend. but there is going to be a

big debate about what happened at the weekend with those arrests made under six protesters eventually told they will face no action.— they will face no action. thank you very much — they will face no action. thank you very much indeed. _ pharmacies in england will be able to prescribe the contraceptive pill, and medication for common health conditions, under new government plans to ease pressure on gps. it follows the announcement of £2110 million to upgrade gp this practices' phone and online booking systems. but primary care leaders say the measures won't solve staff shortages. with more details, here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. you could be waiting weeks and weeks and weeks just for an appointment. it's quite disheartening, really. it is, it's disappointing i think it's the word. i but it's everywhere. it's our nhs that's - supposed to be so good. portsmouth, one of the worst places to get a gp appointment. here, the number of patients for each doctor is the second highest in england and like many areas, services are on their knees. it feels like a tsunami of need that is coming through to us and it feels quite demoralising that we are not managing to meet that need.
8:08 am
you ok, you being served? today the government promised to improve gp services under new plans. £645 million will be spent over two years to allow pharmacists to prescribe antibiotics for conditions including earache, sore throats and urinary tract infections. and they'll double the number of blood pressure checks they carry out. and patients will be able to book physiotherapy and podiatry services without going through a doctor. new phone systems will be offered to some gps and training for receptionists to direct calls to a range of services, including physios and nurses. the plan today is a really big part of trying to recognise the level of pressure on primary care to innovate, to adapt services, to meet that pressure and to meet the needs of our patients. hello, there. hi. you know me, drjones.
8:09 am
but the royal college of gps has questioned the plans and said what's needed are thousands more family doctors. the government promised an extra 6,000 at the last election, but ministers are on track to miss that target. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. ambulance workers in south east england will go on strike for ten hours today in a long—running dispute over pay. the planned action, which starts at midday, comes after the unite union rejected a 5% pay deal offered to nhs staff in england last month. the department of health said the strike was "disappointing". the advice for patients is to call 999 in a life—threatening emergency, and use 111 for anything non—urgent. russia is putting extra security measures in place for the annual victory day parade in moscow, which celebrates the defeat of nazi germany in the second world war.

8:12 am
channel that they will not be held in luxury. the determination is to stop the small boat crossing the channel and does get the numbers of people currently housed in hotels down to save money. there is a huge asylum backlog, 150,000 people at the moment. the intention is to house 500 on the barge when it has been refitted and is moved along the coast to portland. only small numbers, so this barge is perhaps more symbolic than practical role. we could see more of these, the government and home office are talking to other shipping companies and ports around the country about what other ways of doing this in more places but there is fierce opposition. charities are concerned about the conditions on board for the asylum seekers who are housed in this way, and there is local opposition as well in portland, in dorset, people saying they don't want this, their local facilities and services cannot cope with the extra people and they are worried about the impact this will have on

8:32 am
there's minor delays on the bakerloo line this morning. 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. it is a very mild start. a little damp, however. we had some heavy rain overnight. today is a day of thundery showers and some sunny spells. low pressure in charge to the north—west of the uk, driving these fronts through, which is going to bring these showers. like i said, very frequent. rumbles of thunder, lightning mixed in there, some hail too. temperatures getting up to a maximum of 17 celsius. we will still have some showers rumbling into the evening, but gradually they will become fewer and further between. the skies clearing, and under those clear skies, the temperatures a little cooler than last night, back down in single figures at seven celsius. it also means a bright start to wednesday, a dry start to wednesday, with some sunshine,
8:33 am
but once again low pressure very much in charge. and we're going to see frequent showers again. they could be heavy, thundery, slow—moving. similar conditions for thursday. on friday we start to see a ridge of high pressure just starting to build. and that will bring some slightly drier, more settled conditions, as we head into the weekend. that's it from me — more on our website and the bbc news app. i'll be back in half an hour. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. you might have heard... the wait is over. the first of the semi—finals takes place in liverpool today, and the city is buzzing. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is at the liverpool arena.

8:36 am
imagine what it's like with. it's like on steroids. # instead i wrote a song. they're not wrong. the city is abuzz with eurovision's gloriously diverse carnival. take croatia. i mean, you're not really very eurovision, are you? no, we're not. yeah, that's an understatement. so why i decided to take them out for a drink to a liverpool landmark is anyone's guess. you have a reputation for being outrageous. some say that. it's a matter of opinion. are you going to behave yourselves on the night? yes, we will. i would call that a wry smile. and their song?
8:37 am
so that first line is "mother bought me a tractor." yeah. mother bought me a tractor? yeah. let's just say it's a song open to interpretation. eurovision, you see, has a no politics rule. so let 3 are keeping it subtle. the whole point is to spread the message in a subtle way, not directly, never. hi, there. but there's one political message eurovision is happy to embrace, something which has brought sweden's loreen, who won in 2012, back to the show. the community. i call it community, like this, i mean, if you look at it, you're accepted regardless of where you're from, what your sexual preferences is, your religion, whatever you come with, as long as you come with love and respect.
8:38 am
you're welcome. 0h! and with that, i thought i'd show loreen what the choir had been doing with the song she won with in 2012. # euphoria! it is so beautiful. it's nice when people make their own versions and their own thing. you know, this is so beautiful. ijust wanted to show it, i wanted to show it to you. thank you for that, thank you for that. itjust made my day. and to end, ourfinal song of the day in liverpool's williamson tunnels. this lot wouldn't be here singing if not for eurovision. no, it was the catalyst for bringing them all back together again. so it's really, it's become a really big thing and it probably wouldn't have happened were it not for eurovision.
