good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, in an overhaul of rental rules in england. a heavy burden. that's how more than one in ten uk adults described their financial situation at the beginning of the year. that represents a leap of more than 40% compared to the year before. we look at what it means. uncovering the secrets of the titanic. the clearest images yet of the wreck which it's hoped will reveal more about how she sank.

manchester city call on their fans to make home advantage count tonight in their bid to reach the champions league final. heavy rain in the north and west of scotland today. it's wednesday the 17th of may. our main story. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, as part of a long—promised overhaul of the private rental sector in england. new legislation being published today will make it easier for landlords to repossess properties from anti—social tenants. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. what you doing? renting is a way of life for anthony. the former police officer and his beloved cats are living in their third property in four years. he says the uncertainty that comes with being a tenant can be a strain.

i love the british way of life, you know, getting friendly with yout neighbours. i think in the private sector i think you're kind of stopped from doing that and because of up and down, up and down, you're moving from one house to the other trying to afford it. the government's long promised changes are designed to bring more stability to the rental sector in england. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants withoutjustification in what ministers describe as a once in a generation overhaul. this is a fair deal for renters and it makes sure that they can be protected from the very small minority of rogue landlords who use the threat of no fault eviction to silence those tenants who want to complain about poor conditions or to intimidate some tenants into accepting extortionate rent rises. but for those landlords, the overwhelming majority who provide a very valuable service, this bill is also a good thing. the renters reform bill also aims to guarantee safer, better quality homes with a decent home standard, make it illegal

for landlords to ban outright tenants on benefits or those with children, and enable landlords to evict anti—social tenants or those in rent arrears more easily. landlords do not go around evicting tenants willy nilly. we want to keep people in their homes and we want them to have a great experience whilst they're with us. but obviously things go wrong and in those situations where they do go wrong it is right that landlords can rely on a replacement system that's fit for purpose. labour say the changes have taken too long and are promising a host of new rights for tenants if they came to power. housing campaigners have broadly welcomed the changes but warn against leaving loopholes in the new laws that could still see renters unfairly evicted. the right to request a pet is another promised change. but four years since the government first pledged to ban no—fault evictions, the promised improvements to the private rental sector for anthony and millions like him

can't come soon enough. because you're always renting another person's property, jonathan blake, bbc news. later today, the labour party will also set out its plans to improve the private rental sector. we'll be joined by its leader, sir keir starmer, at 7.30 this morning. one of the world's biggest car—makers has urged the government to renegotiate part of the brexit deal or risk "significantjob losses" at its uk plants. stellantis, which makes vauxhall, peugeot, citroen and fiat, had previously committed to making electric vehicles in the uk but now it says brexit trade rules are making it hard to source parts. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. how much does this intervention matter, nick? hi. how much does this intervention matter. nick?— how much does this intervention matter, nick? g ., ., matter, nick? hi, jon, good morning. it matters partly _ matter, nick? hi, jon, good morning. it matters partly because _ matter, nick? hi, jon, good morning. it matters partly because this - matter, nick? hi, jon, good morning.

it matters partly because this is - it matters partly because this is such a big company. one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world. stellantis had pledged to make some pretty big investments in the uk, to build electric vehicles going forward. but they are now concerned that some of the rules in the brexit dealjust won't be achievable. this is about where you get parts for vehicles from. there is a clause in the brexit deal that says, 45% of your parts have to come from either the uk or the european union, all you have to pay tariffs or taxes effectively on cars when they are sold. the company is arguing that the pandemic and the cost of products means theyjust cannot meet those demands going forward. what they are asking the government to do is to go back and effectively try and renegotiate parts of this brexit deal to make sure that they are not facing those extra costs when it comes to selling cars. the government says it has

spoken to the european union about this and it is aware of the issue and it's absolutely determined that the uk continues to be a good place to manufacture cars. i don't think there's any doubt that this is a tricky issue to solve, it's a big problem for the sector and because of that is going to be a big issue for the government in trying to find out how to solve it. for for the government in trying to find out how to solve it.— out how to solve it. for now, thank ou. two poultry workers in england have tested positive for bird flu during routine screenings according to the uk health and security agency. both employees recently worked on an infected poultry farm, had no symptoms of the virus, and have since tested negative. officials say there are no signs of the disease spreading between humans, and the risk to the general population remains very low. more than ten million adults in the uk are struggling with paying their bills, according to the regulator the financial conduct authority. nina's here to tell us more.

it isa it is a staggering number, isn't it? yes, it is. it's no secret it's been a difficult period financially, with almost every household feeling some strain. these numbers pull in to sharp focus how many people have found themselves struggling, and how quickly. so the fca which keeps an eye on banks did a survey and found that 20% or one fifth people injanuary this year that managing their money was a "heavy burden." and what's a real worry is this represents an increase in the number of people struggling of around 40% compared to may the year before. they also offered some detail about how that's playing out. so 5.6 million people skipping bills. in the previous six months. anyone who's had to skip a bill will tell you the psychological weight of that worry and these

are really large proportions of the population. these numbers from january, and we are entering a period where the pressure is starting to ease, we hope, but as we learned yesterday when the prime minister met with food suppliers and retailers, these high prices will stay stubborn for a while. the advice? whatever you do, don't skip payments. your lenders have a legal obligation to support you. thank you, nina. and you can find more information, support and advice on the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. single bus fares will stay capped at £2 until the end of october, after the government extended its travel scheme. the cap applies to more than 130 bus operators in england but not london. it's part of measures to ease the cost of living on passengers and encourage people to use buses

but the industry is warning it won't be enough to prevent further cuts to services. a bbc investigation has found a lack of significant progress towards the government's pledge to build a0 new hospitals in england by 2030. more than three quarters said they didn't have clarity over funding and hadn't started building work but ministers said they're committed to delivering all the hospitals. our health correspondent, catherine burns, has this report. sandbags holding down a makeshift wooden roof. windows taped in place so they don't fall out. this might look like a derelict building, but it's actually a working nhs hospital. st helier hospital was part of a key election pledge in 2019. we're starting a0 new hospitals as a result of the decisions taken by this government. in fact, it was one of a lucky few to get an instant green light with the aim

of being finished by 2025. six of the projects will start immediately. the rest of them will develop the plans. but what they're getting is the go—ahead. but the building work hasn't started yet. instead, staff have to deal with a long list of problems like this. it's supposed to be an intensive care unit, but there's an issue with ventilation, which means it can only be used as a storeroom. the hospital isn't watertight, so staff work around leaks. some areas are so unsafe they had to be entirely shut down. so you can't take us in this ward because it's been condemned? yeah, sadly, that's right. the floors have crumbled, the foundations have sunk, the windows are falling out. i'm frustrated on behalf of our patients. the very soonest that we would have a new build available for our patients is now 2027. and that's the optimistic version? that's the optimistic version, absolutely. what's your realistic version? i just don't know.

i really don't know. there has been some movement. for example, this hospital building in brighton is due to open this summer. leeds and other sites have demolished buildings to clear the way, but then things stalled. there are a0 hospitals in england that have been promised new buildings or major refurbishments by 2030. we've asked them all for a progress report. the first question was about money. 31 told us they don't yet have the funding in place to begin the main building work, although many may have had some cash to get their projects going. more than three quarters, 33 say they've not started the main construction. five are currently under way, leaving two that are finished and open to patients. both were in development before the new hospital programme started. it's never been clear that the money was all there to do what they wanted to do. they've underestimated how long it

takes to change the way they design, build and plan hospitals. and i think it was never going to be achieved in the timescale that they wanted. it's a great ambition, but i think a bit of realism is now starting to sink in. i think it's extremely unlikely that they'll hit the target by 2030. and the economy now is in a different place. inflation has gone up sharply, especially in construction. but the government insists it is committed to delivering all a0 new hospitals by 2030. officials say... in the meantime, st helier and other hospitals are pouring record amounts of money into basic maintenance, waiting for ministers to update them on when they'll get the cash to start their building work. catherine burns, bbc news.

the metropolitan police's handling of republican protests at the king's coronation, is to be examined by a cross—party group of mps next week. six anti—monarchy protesters were arrested on coronation day under public order laws. they were later released, and the force apologised for their management of the situation. witnesses for the evidence session will be announced in the coming days. one of the most prestigious events in the movie calendar, the cannes film festival, opened last night. some of the biggest names in the industry gathered on the french riviera, including johnny depp. the hollywood actor is starring in a french language film, his first big role since a high—profile court battle with former partner amber heard. all holding hands there, very friendly! certainly, johnny depp is

in lots of the papers today. we got a lot of attention last night, they were worried he would take too much attention from this film. you've heard of "living to tell the tale". well, take a look at this. this is real, it's not a movie, it's not that movie! it's the terrifying moment a man's kayak was attacked by a shark while he was fishing in hawaii. amazingly he emerged from the incident unscathed and later posted this video on social media. he said he first thought it was a turtle, then realised it was something much more sinister. have a look one last time. look at the size of it! i have a look one last time. look at the size of it!— the size of it! i think the shark robabl the size of it! i think the shark probably thought _ the size of it! i think the shark probably thought he _ the size of it! i think the shark probably thought he was - the size of it! i think the shark probably thought he was a - the size of it! i think the shark i probably thought he was a turtle, quite frankly. probably thought he was a turtle, quite frankly-— probably thought he was a turtle, quite frankly. being on your own in a ka ak quite frankly. being on your own in a kayak against _ quite frankly. being on your own in a kayak against that! _ quite frankly. being on your own in a kayak against that! no, - quite frankly. being on your own in a kayak against that! no, thank - quite frankly. being on your own in i a kayak against that! no, thank you!

across the north, scotland, sinking south and we can attach in doing so. some clear skies further south, but a fair bit of cloud. so it will not be a cold night. not anticipating anyissues be a cold night. not anticipating any issues with frost. tomorrow it will be cloudier start to the date than in the last few. some brighter breaks in england and wales but through the day further showers developing in the east, into the england —— midlands, towards hampshire and dorset. not all of us will catch one. a new weatherford in the north and west will introduce some rain, —— knew where the front, not particularly heavy rain. temperatures 18 to 1a south to north. let's have a look at today's papers.

the times reports that the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has promised to allow more houses to be built on green belt land. we'll have more on this when we speak to him at 7.30 this morning. as we've been hearing two people have tested positive for bird flu in england. the i reports that contact tracing is taking place but risk to human health is still low. 2.5 million people too sick to work, that's the metro's headline. the paper says a record rise has been blamed on mental health, home working and long covid. home working and long covid. and one of the most watched stories on the bbc news website this morning shows a rare platypus being re—introduced into the wild in sydney. it's the first time in 50 years the park will have a platypus population. it's so cute! they are really cute. it's so cute! they are really cute. i liked that alliteration, platypus population. very good!

it's probably the most famous shipwreck of all time, the focus of countless documentaries and hollywood movies, but there's a version of the titanic you haven't seen. experts have used special technology to map the entire ship on the ocean floor and create its digital twin and our science editor, rebecca morelle, has been given exclusive access to the project. nearly a000 metres down, in the murky depths of the atlantic, the titanic. it's so huge that in the gloom, cameras can only ever show us tantalising snapshots of the decaying ship, never the whole thing. but now a new project has revealed the wreck, as it's never been seen before. there aren't many places big enough for the wreck of the titanic, but this is one of them, the stadium where the 2012 london olympics was held. a full—sized scan of the wreck has been captured. and to appreciate its scale, we've superimposed it in the stadium. the titanic was simply colossal,

and this 3d scan reveals the wreck in its entirety. for the first time, we have an exact digital copy of the real thing. and what you see here is what's lying on the floor of the north atlantic ocean. not only can we get an idea of the ship's enormous size, this scan also gives us a close—up view of its smallest details. you can explore the wreck from every angle. the boat deck here can be seen from above. the gaping hole provides a glimpse inside where the grand staircase once stood. and this is what's left of the captain's bridge and the wheelhouse covered in fragile stalactites of rust. already some remarkable detail can be seen like this serial number on a propeller. what makes this different is this is a true digital twin of the titanic. the resolution is phenomenal, genuinely phenomenal. i've not seen anything

of that resolution. this will allow scientists, historians to really understand how the titanic came to be where it is. and it's also a snapshot in time. the titanic was scanned last summer. submersibles were deployed remotely controlled from a ship. they travelled the length and breadth of the wreck back and forth. 700,000 images were taken from every angle to build up an exact 3d reconstruction. the wreck is in two parts. the bow is still instantly recognisable more than 100 years after it sank. 800 metres away, the stern, though, is a chaotic mess of metal. it collapsed as it corkscrewed into the sea floor. in the surrounding, debris—filled items are scattered, ornate metalwork, unopened champagne bottles and personal possessions too.

dozens of shoes resting on the sediment. despite how extensively the titanic has been explored, there are still many fundamental questions. the hope is this scan could provide answers. we really don't understand the character of the collision with the iceberg. we don't even know if she hit it along the starboard side, as shown in all the movies. she might have grounded on the iceberg. and this photogrammetry model is one of the first major steps to driving the titanic story toward evidence—based research and not speculation. the sea is taking its toll on the wreck. microbes are eating away at it and parts are disintegrating. time is running out to find out what happened on that april night in 1912, when more than 1,000 lives were lost. but the scan now freezes the wreck in time and allows experts to pore over every minute detail. the hope is titanic may yet give up its secrets. rebecca morelle, bbc news.

incredible images. in that film you just saw the historian parks stephenson and hejoins us now from louisiana. thank you so much for talking to us, good morning. i'mjust thank you so much for talking to us, good morning. i'm just curious to know, when we were watching that film, it was silence here as we saw those images of the first time, i want to know what your reaction was when you first saw the images that we have just shown when you first saw the images that we havejust shown in when you first saw the images that we have just shown in that report. much like your reaction, sally. it was mind—boggling. i have seen the wreck with my own eyes, i have seen it through hundreds of hours of digital imagery, but this was, this model, basically brought everything together into a clear, concise image, giving context that we have never seen before. 50. image, giving context that we have never seen before.— never seen before. so, parks, you think this never seen before. so, parks, you thinkthis will— never seen before. so, parks, you think this will give _ never seen before. so, parks, you think this will give us _ never seen before. so, parks, you think this will give us answers - never seen before. so, parks, youj think this will give us answers that we have never had before? i think this will give us answers that we have never had before?- we have never had before? i think

so. the titanic _ we have never had before? i think so. the titanic wreck _ we have never had before? i think so. the titanic wreck site - we have never had before? i think so. the titanic wreck site has - so. the titanic wreck site has always been subject to human bias, as we try to look at the large scale of it. you always see it in real life, and small little images like mentioned earlier. at the context was put together by artists, either painting artists or digital model artists, and every artist that tries to give you that overall context of the wreck is going to unconsciously insert some human bias. always try to make the wreck looked like it used to, like the ship used to in 1912. but this model is the first one based on the pier data cloud that stitches all that imagery together with the data points created by digital scans, and with the help of a little artificial intelligence to draw it altogether.

we are seeing the first unbiased view of the rec, and i believe this is a new phase for underwater forensic investigation and an examination.— forensic investigation and an examination. ., ., examination. parks, we had in the reort, examination. parks, we had in the report. will— examination. parks, we had in the report. will she — examination. parks, we had in the report, will she give _ examination. parks, we had in the report, will she give up _ examination. parks, we had in the report, will she give up more - report, will she give up more secrets? i am curious to know, what do we still need to learn about titanic, what's missing from the picture? i titanic, what's missing from the icture? ., �* ., ., titanic, what's missing from the icture? ~ ., ., titanic, what's missing from the icture? ., �* ~ ., ., �*, picture? i don't know that it's what's missing _ picture? i don't know that it's what's missing from - picture? i don't know that it's what's missing from the - picture? i don't know that it's i what's missing from the picture, picture? i don't know that it's - what's missing from the picture, i think the picture has been skewed by a century worth of human interpretation. interpretation of the original eyewitness testimony and the data from the rec. now we have an unbiased picture of it and it is the last since arriving eyewitness to the disaster, wreck. she has sought stories to tell. i she is going to tell us what

happened during the sinking and the break—up. the first indication is that she is going to tell is a different story we have never heard before. we different story we have never heard before. ~ ~' ., , different story we have never heard before. ~ ~ ., , ., ., ., before. we know it is now more than 100 ears before. we know it is now more than 100 years since _ before. we know it is now more than 100 years since the _ before. we know it is now more than 100 years since the titanic— before. we know it is now more than 100 years since the titanic sank- before. we know it is now more than 100 years since the titanic sank and | 100 years since the titanic sank and their condition on the sea bed deteriorates every year. does this mean that long after titanic will no longer be able to be visited physically, we will be able to find out more for centuries to come, potentially?— out more for centuries to come, otentiall ? ., , , ., ~ , potentially? certainly. the break-up ofthe potentially? certainly. the break-up of the rec and _ potentially? certainly. the break-up of the rec and the _ potentially? certainly. the break-up of the rec and the sinking _ potentially? certainly. the break-up of the rec and the sinking of - potentially? certainly. the break-up of the rec and the sinking of the - of the rec and the sinking of the ship is essentially an engineering solution. and what we see on the ocean floor is like a crime scene. if you are trying to break down what happened during a crime, every piece of evidence has to be exactly marked and seen in situ, and basically evaluated without any kind of bias,

without any kind of subjective interpretation. the best crime scene analysis is objective. and for the first time, we are moving into that objective realm. ifirmly believe that evidence in recent years has been pointing me towards the direction that titanic didn't even hit the iceberg, that instead, she ran over and grounded on it. and this is not a novel idea, it was actually the first scenario proposed backin actually the first scenario proposed back in april 1912 by a british magazine. only now can we revisit it with evidence, after a century of people saying, no, she must have hit alongside, that is what we think happened. alongside, that is what we think ha ened. . ., alongside, that is what we think hauened. . ., alongside, that is what we think ha ened. . ., ~ alongside, that is what we think ha ened. ., ., y., 4' ., happened. parks, do you think that this new imagery — happened. parks, do you think that this new imagery would _ happened. parks, do you think that this new imagery would allow - happened. parks, do you think that this new imagery would allow you l happened. parks, do you think that | this new imagery would allow you to prove or disprove your theory about the iceberg?— the iceberg? well, i have only 'ust beuun to the iceberg? well, i have only 'ust begun to lookfi the iceberg? well, i have only 'ust begun to look at i the iceberg? well, i have only 'ust begun to look at this i the iceberg? well, i have only 'ust begun to look at this model. b the iceberg? well, i have onlyjust begun to look at this model. and i the iceberg? well, i have onlyjust i begun to look at this model. and i'm hopeful that it might provide me more evidence along that line. i've

already seen, there is some intriguing evidence on the port side of the bell, a bottle of the port side that shows that the bow section —— a buckle on the port side which shows that the bow section did not knife as cleanly as we thought. there are some interesting things that which might explain whyjim cameron's exploration was cut short by a deck that buckled up in that area. the stern, why she and the condition she is in? —— why is she in that condition? one of the first things i noticed when i saw this model as an engineer, seeing the true state of the stern, it really brought into focus the fact that when that rotating stand dug into the bottom and that rotational momentum stopped, at the fulcrum point, the keel bent about seven or 8 degrees, and then hundreds of

little riveted connections either failed immediately or are stressed. we have learned from previous experiments on the wreck sites that stressed metal suffers from advanced corrosion. that starts to bring into a picture how the stern has collapsed. we have onlyjust begun to look at this, but at first glance, i'm already seeing things that i have never seen before. parks stevenson. — that i have never seen before. parks stevenson, titanic _ that i have never seen before. parks stevenson, titanic historian, - that i have never seen before. parks stevenson, titanic historian, thank you so much for staying up late in louisiana and talking to us. thank ou, jon. louisiana and talking to us. thank you. him i — louisiana and talking to us. thank you. jan ithink— louisiana and talking to us. thank you, jon. i think kate _ louisiana and talking to us. thank you, jon. i think kate winslet - louisiana and talking to us. thank you, jon. i think kate winslet and| you, jon. i think kate winslet and leonardo dicaprio _ you, jon. i think kate winslet and leonardo dicaprio will— you, jon. i think kate winslet and leonardo dicaprio will be - you, jon. i think kate winslet and leonardo dicaprio will be waiting | leonardo dicaprio will be waiting for a phone call to make the next version! you're watching breakfast. still to come. around an hour we'll meet great—grandmother shirley robinson and she'll tell us why she decided tojump from a plane at the age of 90. we know there are loads of you out there who take on crazy

it's part of a wider inquiry following the arrest of six demonstrators from campaign group republic under the new public order act. they were subsequently freed with no further action, with the metropolitan police expressing "regret" over their arrests. the government is set to announce the biggest rental reform in 35 years. it is expected that section 21 notice, where landlords can give just four weeks' notice to evict a tenant without reason, will be abolished. but although the reform aims to provide better protection for renters, some say it doesn't go far enough. landlords can still ask for their property back if they want to sell it or move back in. so i'm not sure how that will be regulated, if they will ask for proof

if the landlords are moving back in or selling. essentially it feels like a section 21, just without it being called that. also, just if you complain, will they just, at the end of your one—year tenancy say, "well, that's it, we don't want to renew your tenancy," and find someone else and put the rent up. there are concerns repair work on the palace of westminster is taking so long, there could be a catastrophic event before it is restored. that's from the public accounts committee which says £2 million pounds a week is being spent on what they call "patching it up." it also claims the building is unsafe due to things like asbestos, leaks, and fire hazards. the restoration and renewal programme was set up back in 2019, but costs have continued to spiral. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on all the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is remaining reasonably settled today.

it's a cool, chilly start, but temperatures rising. we've got high pressure in charge, so it is looking very similar to yesterday. some bright and some sunny spells, but also the chance of one or two showers. we've got some high level clouds this morning, so the sunshine fairly hazy. showers through the afternoon, potentially temperatures getting up to 18 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight tonight, any showers around this evening will gradually fade. it is going to be dry. we'll see some clearer spells. again, mightjust see a little bit of patchy cloud as we head through to thursday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 7 celsius, so once again staying in single figures. tomorrow morning, it is going to be another bright start. high pressure remains in charge, so conditions fairly similar, dry with some sunny spells. and then through friday, this weak front just starts to edge towards us. and that could bring a chance of a shower, especially towards western fringes of london. into the weekend, it is looking largely dry with some sunshine. i'll be back in half an hour. for now, back to sally and jon.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. now time for the sport. wheat seed big games a lot, but i think tonight really is one of those. —— rizz a big game is a lot. —— come on now. they have pumped billions into manchester city and turned them into a superpower, but the champions league title is when they have not been able to win. so a big night. good morning.

it's the title city want above all others, and makes tonight's contest so fascinating. let's not forget city came so close to making the champions league final last year, before madrid produced an astonishing turnaround. the sides are level at 1—1 going into tonight's game at the etihad with city on an brilliant run. our sports editor dan roan reports. having all but secured yet another premier league title. manchester city are closing in on a remarkable treble. tonight, the club can reach what would be only its second champions league final. but the masters of this competition, reigning champions real madrid, stand in the way of city and their manager, pep guardiola. do you accept that this next month could define your team's potential legacy as one of the greatest club teams in modern history? our legacy is exceptional already, so... this may be one of the most important games

since we are together here, we cannot deny that. for the competition, for the rival, for many things, but i said to the players to live it like a huge opportunity and enjoy the moment. the semifinal�*s tantalisingly poised after the first leg in madrid, the hosts taking the lead before kevin de bruyne's superb equaliser secured a draw against city's conquerors at this stage of the competition last year. their preparations took an unexpected turn when the 1a—times winners were left temporarily stranded on arrival at manchester airport after their team coach failed to turn up on time. but their manager wasn't slow to hype up the game. real madrid and city in this moment are the best teams in europe, and for sure it will be exciting game as it was in the first leg. manchester city's quest for a first champions league crown,

the title they want the most, has become one of football's great narratives, and such is their domestic domination, there is now a real sense that this side represents their best chance to date. and in the prolific erling haaland, they have world football's most feared striker. with the tie on a knife edge, will he be the man to drive city to a date with destiny? dan roan, bbc news. inter milan await the winners. they reached the champions league final for the first time in 13 years, with a 1—0 win over rivals ac milan. they were already 2—0 up from the first leg, and lautaro martinez provided the finishing touch in the second half to make the tie comfortable in the end. the final is onjune 10th in istanbul. nine years ago, luton town were in the national league, now they're dreaming of reaching the premier league for the very first time, after reaching the championship play—off final in what was an impressive turnaround of their own. a goal down from the first leg against sunderland, club captain and player of the season tom lockyer set up gabriel osho to level the tie before then scoring himselfjust

before half—time to make it 3—2. they will now take on middlesbrough or coventry for promotion. they're goalless going into tonight's second leg. annan athletic are a step closer to theirfirst promotion to league1 in scotland. max kilsby scored twice as they beat clyde 3—1 in the first leg of their play—off final. they'll meet again on friday to decide whether they'll go up or clyde will be relegated. britain's geraint thomas still leads the giro d'italia after the tenth stage, but byjust two seconds. he and his closest rival primoz roglic both finished in the peleton 51 seconds behind stage winner magnus cort. organisers have shortened friday's stage because there's heavy snow and a threat of avalanches on the great st bernard pass. the riders will go through the tunnel instead. and which side of the net do you stand on this one?

cam norrie against novak djokovic, the latter less than impressed with the brit. after novak gave up on a point during the italian open and was walking away, only for norrie to fire the return which hit his ankle. his reaction said it all, despite norrie's apology. he said it was one of a number of things that had wound him up. djokovic said, "he's a nice guy off the court, i don't understand this kind of attitude on the court." i think nowak can handle all of that. ~ ., , ., ., that. when the ball as the air and ou had it that. when the ball as the air and you had it down, _ that. when the ball as the air and you had it down, you _ that. when the ball as the air and you had it down, you are - that. when the ball as the air and you had it down, you are not - you had it down, you are not intentionally trying to hit it down. and he looked solid as well. —— looked solid. thank you very much, john. and that is all your

sport news for now. ——looked sorry. there's been plenty of debate around escooters recently — are they a green solution or a danger on our streets? that's someting being discussed by mps on the transport select committee later this morning. nina's been looking at the pros and cons — she's out on the piazza now. yes, you might be familiar with escooters like these populating our streets. these are part of rental scheme trials going on across england. the government hopes they'll help with congestion on the roads. you'll also see in the background a different type of scooter — these can be sold in shops and online. you might recognise those ones too. but what exactly are the rules around riding escooters? two wheels, small electric motors. you might have seen escooters like these whizzing through the streets.

so in the uk, you can buy an escooter, but you can only legally use it on private land with the landowner�*s permission. to ride around on the streets, you have to rent out an escooter like this one. lots of areas across england are trialling electric scooters that you can rent. they're allowed on the road except for motorways and in cycle lanes. but they're not allowed on the pavements, and should only be used by one person at a time. trial escooters are limited to a speed of 15.5mph. in some areas, this may be lower. and to use one, you'll need a full or provisional driving licence, meaning you'll have to be at least 16 years old. the government first launched escooter trials in 2020, and local authorities can extend the use of them until next year. ministers say that will give them time to gather more evidence about how safe escooters

are and their impact on congestion. easy to see while it can be confusing. —— why. since the start of the trials around 2.5 million people have tried an e scooter, so there's clearly an appetite for them, and our research has found that people using them with a combination of public transport to complete journeys to work in education, and also to replace carjourneys and taxi journeys in some cases. people argue the are journeys in some cases. people argue they are dangerous _ journeys in some cases. people argue they are dangerous and _ journeys in some cases. people argue they are dangerous and part - journeys in some cases. people argue they are dangerous and part of - journeys in some cases. people argue they are dangerous and part of the i they are dangerous and part of the dig around them is that pedestrians and even those who use the escooter there are unsure when and where they are allowed to use them.—

a little bit later on. the message from everybody here is that escooters could hold the key to reducing congestion and carbon emissions, but it must be safe and clear how they can be used. thank you, nina. the bbc has spoken to a number of albanian criminals who've been offered money and early prison releases if they agree to be deported from the uk. the longstanding government policy — which applies to all foreign offenders in britishjails — aims to encourage prisoners to co—operate with their removal. our correspondent lucy williamson has the story. deportations to albania land in rocky territory. the diplomacy around them as bumpy as the descent into tirana airport. since a deal with albania five months ago, these uk government flights have multiplied into a weekly shuttle, bringing back more than 1,000 people so far this year.

this is the model the uk government has pinned its hopes on, a country deemed safe that will take back those who tried to enter the uk without permission. around 1,000 albanians have been sent back on flights like this one so far, proof, the uk says, that its deal with albania is working. around half those returning to albania do so voluntarily. most of the enforced returns come from uk prisons. some are being released from prison before serving their minimum sentence. until last month, this man, who we're calling mark, was serving a six—year sentence for drug offences. he was offered deportation after serving just two, a year before he would have been eligible for parole. they ask me, what is my decision, to go back or to stay in uk?

and they explained some rules. if you go back, we took one year off from your sentence. if you come back, you have to serve it again. and i decide to come back, and i'm not going back to uk. were there other albanians in prison with you that you talked about this with? many people decide to come back because of that. mark was also offered a financial incentive of £1,500 to co—operate and not appeal his deportation. the home office said it did not publish figures on how many albanian prisoners were given resettlement money to return home, and that it took every opportunity to intercept the work of people smugglers and speed up the removal of albanians with no legal right to be in the uk. but several deportees we spoke to said they plan to return to the uk within weeks. what's to stop some of those people going back to the uk tomorrow? it's not possible to put a chip in everybody to follow where they go.

translation: if there are people with criminal records, _ especially in trafficking, then police will be on alert. but in general, the people who return are free citizens in albania. in albania's northern kukes region, rich in beauty, poor in almost everything else. children still dream of becoming migrants. both governments are investing in the future of this region, but many here believe futures are not made in kukes, they're made in the uk. lucy williamson, bbc news, northern albania. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. for some of us, a lovely start to the day. the weather for the next few days is going to be

fairly settled, and mostly dry. i say mostly because of some of us will see some rain, notably across the north and west of the country, and a few showers, but many of us will miss these altogether. temperatures across many parts of the country around seven or eight celsius, so not particularly cold, but you will feel chill if you hang around waiting for a bus or outside for any length of time. high pressure in charge, breezy conditions and also some rain. a fair bit of cloud across the north, cloud in the east associated with an old weather front. cloud in the east associated with an old weatherfront. it cloud in the east associated with an old weather front. it has been producing some rain, now living away into the north sea. today, we are looking at sunny spells, we could catch a shower and eastern england into the midlands, around the borders, and we have the rain and the stronger breeze across the north

and the west. these are our temperatures, underthe and the west. these are our temperatures, under the rain of nine to 12 celsius, and in cardiff. the string since a little bit further south later on, some cloud and drizzle, light rain across north—east england as well, and a fair bit of cloud around, so it will not be as cold a night as last night, but it will be a cloudier start to the day tomorrow, we are still under this influence of high pressure, but a new weather front coming in through the course of the day to the north—east. tomorrow under all this cloud, cloud in a statement today, we could see some showers developing across parts of eastern england into the midlands, hampshire, dorset, for example, and in weatherfront coming hampshire, dorset, for example, and in weather front coming in introducing the stream across northern ireland and scotland, is breezy here as well. rain and not particularly heavy and temperatures 11 to 18 celsius. into friday, our weather front continues to move

southwards, prepping up for a time across parts of england and wales. but as it continues through the day to move south and east, it will start to turn mosh hourly, and it will be quite a bit of cloud around into friday. again the best of the sunshine was to be across wales, northwestern, parts of south—west england, mainly northern parts of devon, cornwall and somerset, and these are temperatures, 11 to about 18 celsius. as for the weekend, we still have high pressure in charge, but we still have weather fronts at times coming in a trust the north and the west, it looks like it will be dry and bright as we push further south, and then sunday at the far north and west, we could see some thicker cloud, also some light rain and drizzle. in awfully chilly when

striking and somewhat more cloud in the north sea across some eastern parts of england, which will hold the temperature down a church, which will feel that bit nippy on that coastline as well. here on breakfast, we like to revisit stories and give you an update. well, here's one from almost 1a years ago, and it's about snakes! back in the summer of 2009, we told you how conservationists were trying to reintroduce smooth snakes into parts of the uk where they hadn't been seen for 50 years. well, our reporter then was tim muffett, and he's been back to find out how they're getting on.

anyone with a phobia of snakes might want to look away now. they're about to be let loose in parts of devon. july 2009. it's all about these things here, the smooth snake. off you go. good luck. and live on bbc breakfast, smooth snakes are released into heathland in east devon, the first relocation project of its kind. ten snakes have been brought from dorset to try and boost numbers in the south—west of england. winding its way into the undergrowth, off into the wild. it was organised by the amphibian and reptile conservation trust. but would it work? so 1a years later, how did the snakes get on? well, i've come back to find out.

the pebblebed heaths in east devon are home to more than 3,000 animal species, including rare birds like the dartford warbler and rare butterflies like the silver—studded blue. hello. good to see you. and you've got a snake. we do. we have a smooth snake caught this morning under under license to show you today from this site. it's a healthy adult male. as far as you can tell, how successful was this relocation project? it's been a success. in the first few years, there wasn't a huge amount of activity. now those animals, there's evidence that they've bred in the area. this is the evidence — a juvenile smooth snake filmed on this site last year. more and more young snakes have been spotted here recently. that's a really, really good sign for us. evidence of breeding here. so that means this landscape here is being managed well enough. before the relocation, smooth snakes hadn't been seen in devon for 50 years. conservationists are now monitoring sightings to try and work out how many there now are. but smooth snakes are shy,

so counting them will be hard. it's really time to put him back, i think. corrugated iron sheets have been placed here deliberately, as snakes like to hide under them. we'll lower this very, very gently so that he has the opportunity to move off into the undergrowth. smooth snakes are non—venomous. they're also found in northern and central europe, as well as parts of asia. but in the uk, they've become very hard to spot. the main reason smooth snakes are so rare in the uk is that they only tend to live in sandy heathland like this, and over the past 200 years or so, huge areas of heathland have disappeared, replaced by farmland, roads, or buildings, orjust neglected and not maintained. we've lost somewhere nationally in the region of about 85% of the uk's lowland heath, and those prestigious little bits that are left provide home to a whole network of different plants and animals and reptiles.

encouraging snakes to spread far and wide isn't easy, but five miles away, volunteers for the snakes in the heather project are hoping to do just that. like with many species, their habitat has been decimated around the country. the idea is that we'd have an area where heat is produced and the young would have a place of safety before they start moving away. we're trying to enhance the habitat here and enhance the numbers. smooth snakes can live for 20 years, so the snakes we saw being released in 2009 could still be alive. they've definitely been breeding, just as conservationists had hoped. tim muffett, bbc news, east devon. just a word from the experts — if you see any smooth snakes when you're out and about, please don't pick them up. they're a protected species, and can only be handled

with a special licence. you're watching breakfast. still to come — you may well know the bestselling novel or the film, but now the time traveller's wife is heading for the west end as a musical. we'll be talking to some of the cast, alongside the musicianjoss stone, who wrote some of its songs. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. hello, a very good morning to you, welcome to bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. met police bosses are being questioned later by a cross—party committee of mps over the way they dealt with anti—monarchy protests during the coronation weekend. it's part of a wider inquiry following the arrest of six demonstrators under the new public order act.

they were later freed with no further action, with the force expressing "regret" over their arrests. the government is set to announce the biggest rental reform in 35 years. it is expected the section 21 notice, where landlords can give just four weeks' notice to evict a tenant without reason, will be abolished. but although the reform aims to provide better protection for renters, some say don't go far enough and there are still big loopholes. landlords can still ask for their property back if they want to sell it or move back in. so i'm not sure how that will be regulated, if they will ask for proof if the landlords are moving back in or selling. essentially it feels like a section 21, just without it being called that. also, just if you complain, will theyjust, at the end of your one—year tenancy say, "well, that's it, we don't want to renew your tenancy," and find someone else and put

the rent up. sea levels are rising much quicker than expected across the thames estuary according to the environment agency. it says better protection is needed and is working with partners on an updated defence plan just upstream of the thames barrier. they'll be raising tidal flood defences 15 years earlier than expected. let's take a look at the tubes now. there seems to be a good service all round so far this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is remaining reasonably settled today. it's a cool, chilly start, but temperatures rising. we've got high pressure in charge, so it is looking very similar to yesterday. some bright and some sunny spells, but also the chance of one or two showers. we've got some high level clouds this morning, so the sunshine fairly hazy. showers through the afternoon,

potentially temperatures getting up to 18 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight tonight, any showers around this evening will gradually fade. it is going to be dry. we'll see some clearer spells. again, mightjust see a little bit of patchy cloud as we head through to thursday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 7 celsius, so once again staying in single figures. tomorrow morning, it is going to be another bright start. high pressure remains in charge, so conditions fairly similar, dry with some sunny spells. and then through friday, this weak front just starts to edge towards us. and that could bring a chance of a shower, especially towards western fringes of london. into the weekend, it is looking largely dry with some sunshine. that's it from me. lots more on our website, twitter and instagram. i'm back in half an hour. but for now i'll pass you back to sally and jon. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, in a reform of renting in england. the company which makes vauxhall cars calls on the government to renegotiate part of the exit deal or face heavyjob losses. —— brexit deal. a heavy burden. that's how more than one in ten uk adults described their financial situation at the beginning of the year. that represents a leap of more than a0% compared to the year befor. it's the trophy they want above all others but are yet to win, can manchester city not out real madrid to my to reach the champions league final? it will be dry with sunny spells today, a few showers around, and

some rain coming in across the north and west of scotland. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 17th of may. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, as part of a long—promised overhaul of the private rental sector in england. but new legislation being published today will make it easier for landlords to repossess properties from anti—social tenants. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. what you doing? renting is a way of life for anthony. the former police officer and his beloved cats are living in their third property in four years. he says the uncertainty that comes with being a tenant can be a strain. i love the british way of life, you know, getting friendly i don't believe there is security in the rent. i have voice been a bit conscious of the rent, it always goes up, it never goes down. it is always going goes up, it never goes down. it is always u-oin up and goes up, it never goes down. it is always going goes up, it never goes down. it is always u-oin up and sometimes goes up, it never goes down. it is always going goes up, it never goes down. it is

always iioin up and sometimes it goes up, it never goes down. it is always going goes up, it never goes down. it is always ioini up and sometimes it can always going up and sometimes it can be 100, £200. it's always massive insecurity about how much it's going to go up by and whether you can afford it. the government's long promised changes are designed to bring more stability to the rental sector in england. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants withoutjustification in what ministers describe as a once in a generation overhaul. this is a fair deal for renters and it makes sure that they can be protected from the very small minority of rogue landlords who use the threat of no fault eviction to silence those tenants who want to complain about poor conditions or to intimidate some tenants into accepting extortionate rent rises. the renters reform bill also aims to guarantee safer, better quality homes with a decent home standard, make it illegal for landlords to ban outright tenants on benefits or those with children, and enable landlords to evict anti—social tenants or those in rent arrears more easily. landlords do not go around evicting

tenants willy nilly. we want to keep people in their homes and we want them to have a great experience whilst they're with us. but obviously things go wrong and in those situations where they do go wrong it is right that landlords can rely on a replacement system that's fit for purpose. labour say the changes have taken too long and are promising a host of new rights for tenants if they came to power. housing campaigners have broadly welcomed the changes but warn against leaving loopholes in the new laws that could still see renters unfairly evicted. the right to request a pet is another promised change. but four years since the government first pledged to ban no—fault evictions, the promised improvements to the private rental sector for anthony and millions like him can't come soon enough. jonathan blake, bbc news. later today, the labour party will also set out its plans to improve the private rental sector. we'll be joined by its leader, sir keir starmer, at 7.30 this morning.

one of the world's biggest car—makers has urged the government to renegotiate part of the brexit deal or risk "significantjob losses" at its uk plants. stellantis, which makes vauxhall, peugeot, citroen and fiat, had previously committed to making electric vehicles in the uk but now it says brexit trade rules are making it hard to source parts. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. good morning, nick. how significant are these comments?— good morning, nick. how significant are these comments? morning, sally. it is are these comments? morning, sally. it is certainly — are these comments? morning, sally. it is certainly a — are these comments? morning, sally. it is certainly a big _ are these comments? morning, sally. it is certainly a big deal— are these comments? morning, sally. it is certainly a big deal because - it is certainly a big deal because stellantis is such a big car manufacturer that the government will undoubtedly want to keep it working in the uk, to boost the electric car vehicle sector. the problem is essentially that part of

the brexit deal meant that a5 of your parts in a car had to come from the uk or the european union, or you would face extra tariffs or taxes. the problem the company says it has is because of the pandemic, costs are higher and it's not able to meet that quota, so it's asking the government to go back and to try and get a new deal which mean it doesn't have to pay those taxes and tariffs. i have been on the phone to the government this morning trying to figure out what they're going to do. my figure out what they're going to do. my understanding is that kemi badenoch, the business secretary, is going to speak to stellantis today about some of these issues, and her allies are saying that she has been speaking to the european union quite a lot about this. she has been speaking to some of the commission is about some of these issues and how to iron them out. but there doesn't seem to be a solution yet. there is only until the end of the year to find one. car companies are

pushing for it to be done as soon as possible. so, there is no doubt that there is —— versus a big dealfor there is —— versus a big dealfor the government and for manufacturers, and they are both looking to try find a solution quite quickly. looking to try find a solution quite uickl . . ., looking to try find a solution quite iuickl . . ~' ,. , quickly. indeed, thank you very much. two poultry workers in england have tested positive for bird flu during routine screenings, according to the uk health and security agency. both employees recently worked on an infected poultry farm, had no symptoms of the virus, and have since tested negative. officials say there are no signs of the disease spreading between humans, and the risk to the general population remains very low. more than ten million adults in the uk are struggling with paying their bills, according to the regulator, the financial conduct authority. nina's here to tell us more. that is a lot of people, isn't it? yes, no secret that over the last few months lots of people have been struggling. what's interesting about

these numbers is how many more people have struggling and how quickly be numbers are rising. the fca, the financial conduct authority, keeps an eye on the banks and their survey has found that 20% or one in five people injanuary said that their finances represented a heavy burden to them. what is a real worry is that represents a a0% leap from may of the year before. so that's a real increase. they offered some detail around how that is playing out. what they found is 5.6 million people, at least three of the six previous months, decided to skip loan repayment or some sort of debt repayment, that is than one in ten people. anyone who skips a bill all thought they had to will tell you the psychological pressure that is putting on them. one thing to say is putting on them. one thing to say is that these numbers are from january. they are high but they are from a few months back and theoretically is the year goes on, things are set to get easier. as we learnt yesterday, when the prime

minister met with the retailers and suppliers in the food chain, they say that things are set to remain stubbornly high for the foreseeable future. the advice is to open a conversation with your lender, never forget that they are legally obliged to help where they can to find a way through this. whatever you do, make sure you try not to blindly skip payments. and you can find more information, support and advice on the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. a bbc investigation has found a lack of significant progress towards the government's pledge to build a0 new hospitals in england by 2030. more than three quarters said they didn't have clarity over funding and hadn't started building work — but ministers said they're committed to delivering all the hospitals. our health correspondent, catherine burns, has this report. sandbags holding down a makeshift wooden roof.

windows taped in place so they don't fall out. this might look like a derelict building, but it's actually a working nhs hospital. st helier hospital was part of a key election pledge in 2019. we're starting a0 new hospitals as a result of the decisions taken by this government. in fact, it was one of a lucky few to get an instant green light with the aim of being finished by 2025. six of the projects will start immediately. the rest of them will develop the plans. but what they're getting is the go—ahead. but the building work hasn't started yet. instead, staff have to deal with a long list of problems like this. it's supposed to be an intensive care unit, but there's an issue with ventilation, which means it can only be used as a storeroom. the hospital isn't watertight, so staff work around leaks. some areas are so unsafe they had to be entirely shut down. so you can't take us in this ward

because it's been condemned? yeah, sadly, that's right. the floors have crumbled, the foundations have sunk, the windows are falling out. i'm frustrated on behalf of our patients. the very soonest that we would have a new build available for our patients is now 2027. and that's the optimistic version? that's the optimistic version, absolutely. what's your realistic version? i just don't know. i really don't know. there has been some movement. for example, this hospital building in brighton is due to open this summer. leeds and other sites have demolished buildings to clear the way, but then things stalled. there are a0 hospitals in england that have been promised new buildings or major refurbishments by 2030. we've asked them all for a progress report. the first question was about money. 31 told us they don't yet

have the funding in place to begin the main building work, although many may have had some cash to get their projects going. more than three quarters, 33 say they've not started the main construction. five are currently under way, leaving two that are finished and open to patients. both were in development before the new hospital programme started. it's never been clear that the money was all there to do what they wanted to do. they've underestimated how long it takes to change the way they design, build and plan hospitals. and i think it was never going to be achieved in the timescale that they wanted. it's a great ambition, but i think a bit of realism is now starting to sink in. i think it's extremely unlikely that they'll hit the target by 2030. and the economy now is in a different place. inflation has gone up sharply, especially in construction. but the government insists it is committed to delivering all a0 new hospitals by 2030. officials say...

in the meantime, st helier and other hospitals are pouring record amounts of money into basic maintenance, waiting for ministers to update them on when they'll get the cash to start their building work. catherine burns, bbc news. the metropolitan police's handling of republican protests at the king's coronation is to be examined by a cross—party group of mps next week. six anti—monarchy protesters were arrested on coronation day under public order laws. they were later released, and the force apologised for their management of the situation. witnesses for the evidence session will be announced in the coming days.

single bus fares will stay capped at £2 until the end of october, after the government extended its travel scheme. the cap applies to more than 130 bus operators in england, but not london. it's part of measures to ease the cost of living on passengers, and encourage people to use buses, but the industry is warning it won't be enough to prevent further cuts to services. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. millions of people rely on buses to get to work, go to the shops or to see family and friends. but britain's bus network has been shrinking for years and the pandemic dealt another blow. with passenger numbers falling, some routes have been cut or made less frequent. the government has already provided about £2 billion to try to keep services running, and since january, it's paid for single bus fares to be capped at £2 in many parts of england. that was all due to finish at the end ofjune, now £200 million will be put towards keeping the £2 fares until the end of october, and a cap of £2.50 for a further year.

bus users right across the country, fare caps really help them, particularly on those longer journeys where they are perhaps commuting from town to town over some distance. those capping fares really helps people with their cost of living and that's what i want to see, i want to see that cost of living reduce. and also there's opportunities there for people as well, particularly younger people, people in lower paid work you have to commute over a long distance by bus. that's what this is there for. the industry predicted one in seven services in england could have been axed if financial support stopped altogether, and mps have previously warned the government's strategy to make buses better needed more funding. today, £300 million was also announced to help protect at—risk services and towards improvements. the industry said this would not save every route from closure. we have been very clear with the government that it would cost around about £250 million per year to protect the level of service that's currently

operating across the country at the moment. government has accepted our evidence and chosen not to deliver quite that level of funding so we need to work with what we've got. what my members will be doing today sitting down with their partners in local authorities across the country and making sure that we apply the money that is available to deliver the best possible service for our passengers and to continue to put on the vast majority of routes that they rely on to do their daily journeys to work, to school, college, shopping or to medical appointments, is the case may be. operators say rising costs combined with fewer people using buses present bigger challenges. but this gives them more confidence about the journey ahead. katy austin, bbc news. one of the most prestigious events in the movie calendar, the cannes film festival, opened last night. some of the biggest names

in the industry gathered on the french riviera, including johnny depp. the hollywood actor is starring in a french language film, his first big role since his high—profile court battle with former partner amber heard. is he speaking french? he is. that is impressive- _ is he speaking french? he is. that is impressive. carol— is he speaking french? he is. that is impressive. carol has _ is he speaking french? he is. that is impressive. carol has the - is he speaking french? he is. that i is impressive. carol has the weather this morning- _ is impressive. carol has the weather this morning. so _ is impressive. carol has the weather this morning. so bonjour! _ bonjour! it is a beautiful start for some of us today, thank you for these weather watcher pictures as always. this is northumberland. the cloud has been producing some rain, and we have got more waiting in the wings, building across north—west scotland. here too it will be breezy. the rest of scotland is largely try to start with, the same for northern ireland and most of england. this cloud along the east coast is the remnant of last night's front which will move away into the

north sea. for many it will be dry and sunny, we could catch the odd shower across parts of eastern england, maybe into the midlands, around the borders. they will be the exception rather than the rule. an isolated chance of a shower in northern ireland, not much more than that. it should be dry. the rain makes good inroads across the north and west of scotland where it will remain breezy through the day, with highs nine to 12 degrees. the top temperature likely to be 17 or 18. as evening and overnight, the weather front as evening and overnight, the weatherfront sinks a as evening and overnight, the weather front sinks a little bit further south and east, and it starts to break up. some thicker clad producing some drizzle, light rain, across northern england, but generally speaking with this cloud, it's not going to be a cold night. not anticipating any issues with frost. tomorrow starts off on a cloudier note than today, tomorrow we could see further showers develop in eastern areas, through the midlands, down towards hampshire and dorset. and any weather front comes in across western scotland and

northern ireland, introducing some rain, not particularly heavy. here it will be breezy and top temperature is 16 to 17, may be 18 somewhere. you are teasing us, you have not put 18 on the map! don't want people to right in! there are more than 200 children across the uk waiting for an organ transplant, something that could change or save their lives. two—year—old beatrix archbold is one of them. she lives in hospital and is being kept alive by an artificial heart, until she receives a real one. alison freeman went to meet beatrix and her parents. this is where little beatrix has spent half of her life. at just two years old, she's been in hospital for the past 12 months, relying on a machine to keep her alive. you are very acutely aware that the only hope she has of coming

home is successful heart transplant. and you are acutely aware what that means for another family, who won't be taking their child home. and that must be really hard for you? yeah, every moment is an absolute roller—coaster. it's not a normal life, it's not what anybody wants their child. but again at the same time we are thankful that we have had an extra year with bea, because she could very easily have not been here. terry and cheryl lost a daughter isabel in late pregnancy and donated her heart to research. terry says at first he was reluctant but cheryl persuaded him, having read a magazine article about the nation. having read a magazine article about donation. currently, there are more than 200 children in the uk waiting for organs, but annually, an average of only 50 donors. so what needs to change, then? just normalise it.

i suppose the taboo is we are talking about children. everybody we know says, i'm registered as a donor, but i've never even considered what i would do for my children. because it can feel so awful to think about those worst—case scenarios. i think it's just that, realising in their worst day that they are able to make that brave decision and hopefully a decision that will bring them healing as well. beatrix is not the only child waiting for a heart at the freeman hospital in newcastle. others include asala from manchester, and evie from middlesbrough. i know that there's a lot of conceptions about, you think you are waiting for someone to die, but really, that's not what we're thinking about at all when it comes to organ donation. because these children unfortunately that do pass away are already going to pass away from whatever horrific circumstances come up. we're just hoping that in that dark time, that they can make that life saving option to give that life onto child like evie and give a legacy for the deceased child.

and hopefully they live on in someone else. beatrix's family are calling for the government to make it compulsory that children are taught about organ donation. pretty much a direct request to the prime minister. invest the money in the nhs, particularly for organ donation. there are over 10,000 people currently in need, waiting years, and that number is going to grow without investment. invest in the messaging and help to change the culture in this country. so what would it mean to you if beatrix was to get a donation? i try not to think too much about the transplant itself and imagine her being home with us. i have visualised that drive home, walking in the front door, and that's what i hold onto, that hope that that happens. yeah. alison freeman, bbc news, newcastle upon tyne.

we'rejoined now by dr abbas khushnood, a consultant in paediatric cardiology at the freeman hospital in newcastle. morning. gosh, it is heartbreaking to watch that film, and i know that families across the country are waiting for organ donors right now, but let's talk about beatrix for a moment. she has been for around a year that right? what is life like for her in hospital?— year that right? what is life like for her in hospital? good morning, thank ou for her in hospital? good morning, thank you very _ for her in hospital? good morning, thank you very much _ for her in hospital? good morning, thank you very much for _ thank you very much for this invitation. i'm really pleased that it is on this programme that we are trying to emphasise how organ donation is so important especially for younger children. beatrix has been honoured tremendous journey over the last 12 months, having being diagnosed with a heart muscle condition which doesn't have any gear apart from managing medically,

and if that asthma, heart transportation is the only option. —— if that doesn't work, heart transportation is the only option. we have to make sure that the medicines work, we have to keep her blood thin so the machines can work. at the same time for the two—year—old, we want to make sure she has as normal a life as a toddler wants to, running around and doing the things that we can offer as best as possible. we doing the things that we can offer as best as possible.— doing the things that we can offer as best as possible. we are seeing some pictures _ as best as possible. we are seeing some pictures now— as best as possible. we are seeing some pictures now of _ as best as possible. we are seeing some pictures now of her- as best as possible. we are seeing some pictures now of her running i some pictures now of her running around on her little buggy in hospital, still with a big smile on herface despite of hospital, still with a big smile on her face despite of them she is going through which it is ordinary. absolutely. who; going through which it is ordinary. absolutel . ~ , ., ~' going through which it is ordinary. absolutely-— absolutely. why do you think it is that it is such _ absolutely. why do you think it is that it is such a _ absolutely. why do you think it is that it is such a difficult _ absolutely. why do you think it is that it is such a difficult subject, | that it is such a difficult subject, why do you think it is that parents struggle with this idea of organ donation when we talk about young people and children? i donation when we talk about young people and children?— people and children? i think generally. _ people and children? i think generally, children - people and children? i think generally, children are - people and children? i think generally, children are so i people and children? i think- generally, children are so precious. parents never have to make a

difficult decision, even doing something where they have to give away for their child. when it comes to an organ donation, it's such a concept which is difficult to understand and comprehend. at this age and time in the 21st century, we are at least able to bring about the aspect of organ donation and the importance of heart transplantation and other organs for these children. technology has allowed us to keep children alive longer and long enough that they can probably be benefited by a heart transplant. so i think the message is important that people start thinking that there are children who are waiting for organs to sustain their life. if this conversation can be made a bit more easier within families and children start understanding the concept that will really have a long way to provide organs for the children. ~ . ., , . children. we heard in that piece that beatrix's _ children. we heard in that piece that beatrix's parents _ children. we heard in that piece that beatrix's parents have - children. we heard in that piece i that beatrix's parents have already donated the organs from their own

stillborn baby, including a heart to another child. that makes this case even more unbearable in lots of ways, doesn't it? and yet we are seeing that in terms of the rate of donation from children, it hasn't really improved in the last decade, has it? ., ., ., ., really improved in the last decade, hasit? ., ., ., ., ., has it? no, and we are one of the national centres _ has it? no, and we are one of the national centres that _ has it? no, and we are one of the national centres that provide - has it? no, and we are one of the| national centres that provide heart transplantation to children. and over the last 20 to 30 years we have not really seen a rise in the number of heart transplants we have been doing between the two centres in the country. one of the biggest issues for small children is availability of younger donor hearts. older children and teenagers can benefit from getting organs from adults, who would be suitable for heart transplantation. younger children like beatrix are really waiting for those donors only come from young children to be able to offer the heart. 50 children to be able to offer the heart, ., ., children to be able to offer the heart. ., ., i. children to be able to offer the heart. ., ., y., 4, children to be able to offer the heart. ., ., ,. ~ i. children to be able to offer the heart. ., ., ,., ~ y., heart. so how do you think you can chanie heart. so how do you think you can change the —

donation for the child, it would take a long time.— take a long time. what is the messa i e take a long time. what is the message you _ take a long time. what is the message you would - take a long time. what is the message you would like - take a long time. what is the message you would like to i take a long time. what is the . message you would like to leave people with today? i message you would like to leave people with today?— people with today? i think the messa i e people with today? i think the message would _ people with today? i think the message would be _ people with today? i think the message would be that - people with today? i think the message would be that we - people with today? i think the | message would be that we are people with today? i think the - message would be that we are really goodin message would be that we are really good in trying to support children who require heart transplant, we have excellent technology, machines and expertise to do that. and children who come through the other side having a successful heart transplant are doing extremely well. i have an example of a two and a half year old who waited in hospital for nearly two years before a heart transplant happened, and after that, she is now thriving and doing really well. so the message now is that if an organ is available for a suitable child, we would really love to have that so it can be transplanted and have a successful future for themselves.— have a successful future for themselves. ., ,, , ., , . themselves. thank you very much, doctor abbas _ themselves. thank you very much, doctor abbas khushnood, - themselves. thank you very much, doctor abbas khushnood, joining l themselves. thank you very much, | doctor abbas khushnood, joining us from newcastle on breakfast. thank ou for from newcastle on breakfast. thank you for having _ from newcastle on breakfast. thank you for having me, _ from newcastle on breakfast. thank you for having me, jon _ from newcastle on breakfast. thank you for having me, jon and - from newcastle on breakfast. thank you for having me, jon and sally. i from newcastle on breakfast. thank| you for having me, jon and sally. we are all thinking of beatrix, terry

and cheryl, her mum and dad, and hoping that anything works out for all of them. you're watching breakfast. still to come. it's been the focus of hollywood films and countless documentaries but now a special project has revealed the titanic as it's never been seen before. we'll have more at quarter past eight. we will show you more of those extraordinary images. we will be talking to sir keir starmer live on breakfast and a couple of minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. met police bosses are being questioned later by a cross—party committee of mps over their handling of the anti—monarchy protests over the coronation weekend. it's part of a wider inquiry following the arrest of six demonstrators from campaign group republic under the new public order act. they were subsequently freed with no further action, with the metropolitan police expressing "regret"

over their arrests. the government is set to announce the biggest rental reform in 35 years. it is expected that section 21 notice, where landlords can give just four weeks' notice to evict a tenant without reason, will be abolished. but although the reform aims to provide better protection for renters, some say it doesn't go far enough. landlords can still ask for their property back if they want to sell it or move back in. so i'm not sure how that will be regulated, if they will ask for proof if the landlord's moving back in or selling. essentially it feels like a section 21, just without it being called that. also, just if you complain, will they just, at the end of your one—year tenancy say, "well, that's it, we don't want to renew your tenancy," and find someone else and put the rent up? there are concerns repair work on the palace of westminster is taking so long, there could be a catastrophic event before it is restored. that's from the public accounts committee

which says £2 million pounds a week is being spent on what they call "patching it up." it also claims the building is unsafe due to things like asbestos, leaks, and fire hazards. a central london branch of greggs has been told it can open overnight. the leicester square store has reached an agreement with westminster council to stay open until 2am at the weekend. the council had originally blocked the plans of the concerns around anti—social behaviour. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the dlr, good elsewhere.

now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is remaining reasonably settled today. it's a cool, chilly start, but temperatures rising. we've got high pressure in charge, so it is looking very similar to yesterday. some bright and some sunny spells, but also the chance of one or two showers. we've got some high level clouds this morning, so the sunshine fairly hazy. showers through the afternoon, potentially temperatures getting up to 18 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight tonight, any showers around this evening will gradually fade. it is going to be dry. we'll see some clearer spells. again, mightjust see a little bit of patchy cloud as we head through to thursday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 7 celsius, so once again staying in single figures. tomorrow morning, it is going to be another bright start. high pressure remains in charge, so conditions fairly similar, dry with some sunny spells. and then through friday, this weak front just starts to edge towards us. and that could bring a chance of a shower, especially towards western fringes of london. into the weekend, it is looking largely dry with some sunshine. i'll be back in half an hour. for now, back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we've been talking this morning

about the government's long—awaited proposals to reform the private rental sector in england. the labour party are also setting out their plans to overhaul the housing industry today, which includes a promise to build more homes. we're joined now by the party's leader sir keir starmer. good morning. how are you going to do that? you're _ good morning. how are you going to do that? you're promising _ good morning. how are you going to do that? you're promising to - do that? you're promising to guarantee to build 300,000 new houses every year, how that going to happen? we houses every year, how that going to ha- ien? ~ . houses every year, how that going to ha. ien? . ., ., ., houses every year, how that going to haiien? ., ., ., happen? we are going to back the builders, happen? we are going to back the builders. not _ happen? we are going to back the builders, not the _ happen? we are going to back the builders, not the blockers. - happen? we are going to back the builders, not the blockers. what i happen? we are going to back the i builders, not the blockers. what has happened recently as the government's complete failure when it comes to house—building comedy took down targets for house—building, meaning that building will full almost certainly to the lowest level since the second world war, will kill the dream of home ownership for many people across the country —— fall almost certainly. that is an important dream, and aspiration of basic security. so what we will do about it is put those targets back up, but

that on its own i don't think will be enough. we also need to fix the broken system, because the planning rules do not work for building to take place, we need to fix them, give local areas more control about where building takes place, and to create development corporations as the vehicle to drive house—building, because for so many people, that basic security of having your own home is, for working people, a very important aspiration, it is about security. so every house that we build is good for homeowners or wannabe homeowners, but also good for our economy, so that is our ambition to clear up the mess the government will leave, and coming to government, if we are privileged enough to do so, and back the builders, not the blockers. irate enough to do so, and back the builders, not the blockers. we have sioken to builders, not the blockers. we have spoken to you _ builders, not the blockers. we have spoken to you on — builders, not the blockers. we have spoken to you on the _ builders, not the blockers. we have spoken to you on the programme i spoken to you on the programme before, you have spoken passionately about your environmental policies, but you are here suggesting that you would built on green belt. how do

you square that? let would built on green belt. how do you square that?— would built on green belt. how do you square that? let me be clear, we all want to protect _ you square that? let me be clear, we all want to protect the _ you square that? let me be clear, we all want to protect the green - you square that? let me be clear, we all want to protect the green belt, i all want to protect the green belt, we have fantastic countryside. i myself holidayed in the lake district when i was a child every single year, i know how important thatis, single year, i know how important that is, but we have to face up to the fact that we do already build on bits of the green belt, it is where we build, and i want to give you an examplejust to try we build, and i want to give you an example just to try to explain what i mean. in maidstone, houses were built on a playing field rather than a car park, because the car park was technically in the green belt and the playing field was not. i don't think anybody who cares about our countryside would think that there is a good idea. so what i am saying is a good idea. so what i am saying is if we give local areas the power to direct warehousing is, even when it is on the green belt, if it is a car park rather than a playing field, then i think that protecting the car park and building on the playing field was the wrong choice. we would make. choices and set a

local areas, notwithstanding that it is the green belt, if it is land which does not affect the beauty of our countryside, which we all want to preserve, then we will change the planning rules, we will give you the powers to do that. {liiq planning rules, we will give you the powers to do that.— powers to do that. 0k, let me give ou a powers to do that. 0k, let me give you a specific— powers to do that. 0k, let me give you a specific example. _ powers to do that. 0k, let me give you a specific example. your i powers to do that. 0k, let me give i you a specific example. your shadow housing minister lisa mandy has opposed homes being built on green belt near her own constituency, wigan. is she on board with this policy? wigan. is she on board with this ioli ? , ., , , policy? yes, i was with lisette yesterday. _ policy? yes, i was with lisette yesterday, this _ policy? yes, i was with lisette yesterday, this comes - policy? yes, i was with lisette yesterday, this comes out i policy? yes, i was with lisette yesterday, this comes out of i policy? yes, i was with lisette i yesterday, this comes out of her department. do not underestimate our determination here to drive out house—building, because so many people cannot get near the housing level, there were people watching this programme who desperately want to own their own home. we do not have much money when i was growing up, sometimes we could not pay our bills, but we don't own our own home through a mortgage, and i know what

that security feels like, because as i was growing up, i did not feel that we would not have a roof over our heads, and there will be many people watching those who have that dream, that aspiration, want that security, they are being completely let down by this government now. everybody knows that the age at which you are likely to own your home is just which you are likely to own your home isjust going up which you are likely to own your home is just going up and which you are likely to own your home isjust going up and up and up, and we want to turn that around, have at house—building, take the tough decisions, and at the same time, boost our economy, which of course is desperately needed. you kee i course is desperately needed. you keep talking _ course is desperately needed. you keep talking about the dream of homeownership, of finding a place, but for a lot of people at the moment, they can't even begin to dream about it. they cannot imagine a day where they will do it, and right now they are rented, then i'd be asking, what are labour going to do about the renters, the rental reforms that the government is going to talk about. are you forgetting the people who might always be vented? ., . . the people who might always be vented? ., ., ., ., , ., vented? not at all, we have set out a renters charter _ vented? not at all, we have set out a renters charter which _ vented? not at all, we have set out a renters charter which gives i vented? not at all, we have set out a renters charter which gives betterj a renters charter which gives better protection, more security to

renters. we have set up what we would do. the government today is making an announcement through michael gove. i actually think what it is saying is broadly right and we would support it. so actually, this is a step in the right direction. i do think that promising it in 2019, they could have done it a bit more quickly, but it is right to give renters more security. i do not think no—fault evictions are right, they do not give security, so i broadly support what the government is doing today for renters, but there is a fundamental underlying issue here which is that rents are very high, many people watching us will know this, they take a huge amount of the monthly income that people have. one reason they are so high is because we are not building enough houses, so there's too much demand in the rental sector. so, yes, more rights for renters, i'm very signed up to that, security for renters is very important, but if we do not get to grips with the house—building that is desperately needed, those rents will remain

high, so more security in your rented accommodation, but the rental will not come down. so we want to fix both bits of the market here, but the house—building failure of the government is killing the dream for many people who simply want that security of their own roof over their head. security of their own roof over their head-— security of their own roof over their head. ~ . ., .,, ., their head. what about leaseholds? the government _ their head. what about leaseholds? the government has _ their head. what about leaseholds? the government has been - their head. what about leaseholds? the government has been criticised| the government has been criticised for watering down its plan to get rid of leaseholds. would you promise that you can scrap leaseholds? there were some proposals _ that you can scrap leaseholds? there were some proposals in _ that you can scrap leaseholds? there were some proposals in 2020 - that you can scrap leaseholds? iuee were some proposals in 2020 from the law commission that basically said that there should be more control on existing leaseholds and we should not really be creating any new leaseholds. the government said they are right about that, michael gove says it is a grave injustice, now they have said they will not do it. but we would do that, that leasehold reform. and there's a pattern of behaviour here from the government which says it will do something, then here we are four years into a

missions if you do not have house—building. so it is a central pillar to the delivery of the missions i have set out. you have said ou missions i have set out. you have said you would — missions i have set out. you have said you would not _ missions i have set out. you have said you would not want - missions i have set out. you have said you would not want to i said you would not want to renegotiate any bricks that deal, but this morning we reported an important story about car manufacturing, vauxhall saying they need the government to renegotiate part of that deal this country could face job losses in the car manufacturing industry. would you renegotiate? i manufacturing industry. would you renegotiate?— renegotiate? i saw that story this mornini , renegotiate? i saw that story this morning. and _ renegotiate? i saw that story this morning. and my _ renegotiate? i saw that story this morning, and my heart _ renegotiate? i saw that story this morning, and my heart sank, i renegotiate? i saw that story this i morning, and my heart sank, because we have lead and calming effect and for many years in this country, we should not accept the decline the decline of that comes with this story. behind the story is the problem of supply chains, one of the big aspirations of the next labour government is to make things here in britain so the supply chain of here in this country.— britain so the supply chain of here in this country. what would you say to them? on _ in this country. what would you say to them? on the _ in this country. what would you say to them? on the specific— in this country. what would you say to them? on the specific question | in this country. what would you say.

for vauxhall, the issue will be the supply of materials and parts coming into the country that then have to be assembled here into a car. the more barriers you put in place of that coming in swiftly at the right time and the right place, the harder you make it for vauxhall. i have been to see it myself, i know how time critical it is that all those parts arrive at the factory at the precise time they are needed, that is breaking down those barriers that is breaking down those barriers that is critical. we are focused on making brexit work for businesses so that they can thrive, notjust survive, and through that, the jobs that are so important for many families watching this.- that are so important for many families watching this. let's talk about tuition _ families watching this. let's talk about tuition fees. _ families watching this. let's talk about tuition fees. i _ families watching this. let's talk about tuition fees. i a _ families watching this. let's talk about tuition fees. i a lot - families watching this. let's talk about tuition fees. i a lot of i families watching this. let's talk i about tuition fees. i a lot of young people are doing their exams at the moment, thinking about maybe going to university. at the last election, labour pledged to scrap tuition fees. you have now scrapped that promise. and you have had a lot of kickbacks from young people who think you just don't understand the

which has meant that tough decisions will now have to be made. we are committed to making a student loan scheme better because at the moment, it does not work well for students, it does not work well for students, it doesn't actually work well for universities either, so we need to fix that. , . ., universities either, so we need to fix that. , . ,, ., ., universities either, so we need to fix that. , . «i ., ., ., fix that. they will talk again about how ou fix that. they will talk again about how you might — fix that. they will talk again about how you might fix _ fix that. they will talk again about how you might fix that, _ fix that. they will talk again about how you might fix that, but i fix that. they will talk again about how you might fix that, but sir i fix that. they will talk again about| how you might fix that, but sir keir starmer, thank you forjoining us on breakfast. starmer, thank you for “oining us on breakfast. . i' starmer, thank you for “oining us on breakfast. ., «i , ., john's here with the sport. so interesting yesterday. for all thatis so interesting yesterday. for all that is at stake, a place in the champions league final, the trophy they want above all others, how relaxed manchester city looked yesterday. cow look answering questions, he looked relaxed, pep guardiola laughing and joking with journalists. not complacent but perhaps confident in the work that has been done heading into the second leg tonight against real madrid with the scores level. morning, all. fascinating, this one. manchester city yet to win

the champions league, taking on real madrid who've won the trophy more times than anyone. so who reaches the final? pep says he's got a plan to manouvre his way past madrid. home advantage will help. they've not lost at the etihad in europe in five years. and they're unbeaten in 22 games, chasing this treble, so very much one of the form teams notjust in england but in europe. and there is this feeling it will be their year, perhaps why pep and his players were looking so relaxed yesterday. the team who deserves to win, hopefully he wins. so it doesn't matter which one, hopefully we will win. i know that we have to perform well, this is where my focus is, i have to put my mind in the mind and the heart of the players, they have to make up an incredible performance to beat real madrid. otherwise it will be so difficult. and if you're a city fan and looking for something else to demonstrate your luck�*s in, how about real being made to wait for their bus outside manchester airport?

carlo ancelotti looking less than impressed as their preparations took a hit. just under an hour they were waiting. so it's inter milan who await the winners. they reached the champions league final for the first time in 13 years with a 1—0 win over rivals ac milan. they were already 2—0 up from the first leg, lautaro martinez provided the finishing touch in the second half to make the tie comfortable. the final is onjune the 10th in istanbul. the manchester united sale rumbles on, as it was announced last night that qatari banker sheikh jassim has made an improved offer to buy the club. bbc sport have been told that a fresh bid was submitted on tuesday

morning, amid further talks involving the raine group, who are handling the sale. it is for 100% of the club and will clear united's debt, and includes a separate fund directed solely at the club and local community. sirjim ratcliffe the petrochemiocals billionaire has also made an offer which leaves the current owners the glazers with a stake in the club. nine years ago, luton town were in the national league, now they're dreaming of reaching the premier league for the very first time, after reaching the championship play—off final. an impressive turnaround of their own. a goal down from the first leg against sunderland, club captain and player of the season tom lockyer set up gabriel osho to level the tie, before then scoring himselfjust

before half—time to make it 3—2. they will now take on middlesbrough or coventry for promotion — they're goalless going into tonight's second leg. you have to feel for england bowlerjoffra archer, who's been ruled out of the ashes. his injury nightmare has taken a turn for the worse, with a recurrence of the stress fracture in his right elbow that first emerged in early 2020, not long after he made his international debut. archer is such an exciting player, regarded as a generational talent, but he hasn't played test cricket for over two years. a once in a generation talent, just been hampered so much by injuries. such a shame. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. starting off on a cloudy note for some of us this morning, but some sunshine to start with elsewhere. some cloud spread out as we go through the course of the day, but still sunny spells, and looking at a

few showers in some eastern areas and into the midlands as well. but not all of us will catch on. an isolated chance you could see at a show in northern ireland, but it should stay mostly dry. however, a weather front coming in across the north and west of scotland, introducing rain and breezy conditions and cooler here as a result, nine to 12 being our house. but generally today, we're looking at mid to high teens for most. through this evening and overnight, our weather front exhibit further south and east, weakening a touch. we could see the clouds they can offer some light rain or drizzle across parts of northern and good, but a lot of cloud around, so as a result, it will not be a cold night. but it will be a cloudy start to the day tomorrow, more so than we have seen of late. on the other thing tomorrow as we could see a few more showers develop. again areas prone, eastern parts of england, in the through the middle and down towards hampshire and dorset. but again, not all of us will catch on. we also have a new weather front coming in

across western scotland and northern ireland, that will introduce some rain, not particularly heavy rain, and it will be accompanied by breezy conditions as well. temperatures down a touch, looking at about 11 to 17, maybe 18 celsius. thank you, carol. from food to transport, the rising cost of living is continuing to squeeze household budgets, making it harder for many to cover essential outgoings or repay loans. more than ten million adults in the uk — one in five — are struggling with paying their bills and credit repayments, according the financial conduct authority — that's a rise of almost a0% on last year. more than five million have missed payment on bills or loans at least three times in the last six months. let's get some advice from richard lane who's from debt charity step change. good morning. the numbers are really

putting the basics on a credit card, what should be doing before that? the financial conduct authority has made it very clear in the statement they have put out today, something we would absolutely echo, you are not on your own. you do not have to suffer in silence. there is absolutely help out there, who would say two things. firstly, your bank on your energy company, they have a regulatory obligation to help you. if you get in touch with them and tell them you are struggling, they should be putting in a tailored support package for you, restructure on your payments, same post anew to help, to organisations like step change, the second thing i would say is that we are here as well. we hope 500,000 people every single year with the financial problems, so people are not alone, please do not suffer in silence. ii people are not alone, please do not suffer in silence.— suffer in silence. if you do go to our suffer in silence. if you do go to your energy _ suffer in silence. if you do go to your energy company _ suffer in silence. if you do go to your energy company or- suffer in silence. if you do go to your energy company or your i suffer in silence. if you do go to i your energy company or your bank and say, i'm struggling here, i need a separate plan, can that then affect your own credit rating going forward? i think a lot of people are nervous about making that call because they think it will count against them long term.-

owe money to, what is your budget, if you have looked at that and you're very worried, speak to your mortgage provider or to somebody like step change as soon as you can. you said are legally obliged to try to help to come up with a plan, that is maybe when you call them the first time, will they be synthetic if you have to phone them again in a few months? are they legally obliged to help you a second or third time if needs be?— if needs be? they are legally obfiaed if needs be? they are legally obliged because _ if needs be? they are legally obliged because of— if needs be? they are legally obliged because of the - if needs be? they are legally obliged because of the fca l obliged because of the fca regulations that exist to treat their customers fairly, they are going to do that. if you worry that they are not, there are other organisations, but do not worry about that, it will be there to support you. most businesses recognise that supporting people during a cost of living crisis is the right thing to do, it is the right thing to do for them and for business, because they want their customers on their feet, they want them financially secure. you customers on their feet, they want them financially secure.— them financially secure. you say eo - le them financially secure. you say people should — them financially secure. you say people should sit _ them financially secure. you say people should sit down - them financially secure. you say people should sit down and - them financially secure. you say people should sit down and look them financially secure. you say i people should sit down and look at their budget. lots of people actually might not even know where to start. what is your advice to

or skydiving. well, that joke didn't last long. shirley — who was diagnosed with leukemia last year — decided she really would jump out of a plane to celebrate the big day and raise money for charity. let's take a look. my name is shirley robinson. i'm 90, and i have just done a skydive. well, my children offered to give me an event for my birthday. so i settled for a skydive. i just thought that the silence up there would be wonderful, and it would be lovely to just float amongst the clouds, which it was. i was diagnosed with leukaemia, i suppose, about eight months ago. and it's chronic, so i mean,

i shall have it till i die. and although it'll never get better, they told me, ijust go plodding along. i have done this skydive to raise money for crisis because imagine what it's like sleeping rough on cold nights, and i don't think any child should go to bed without its own home over its head. i've always volunteered in my life. i worked for a food bank which i thoroughly enjoyed, and that was revealing, as to how the people needed food. out into the void! i didn't go out with the idea of raising vast amounts but i have, i raised over 5,000. and it's just wonderful how generous people have been, it's lovely.

lovely to see her doing so well. isn't she amazing? brilliant. i am going to challenge a bit of shirley —— channel a bit. lots of shirleys out there. if you know somebody who is telling the extender takes on its head, do something remarkable, get in touch with us this morning. plenty of debate this morning around escooters, talk today about possibly changing the rules to make our streets and pavements a little bit safer. nina is out there somewhere, is she on one of those? she is definitely not, she is not allowed to go on one of them, i have banned herfrom an escooter.

to go on one of them, i have banned her from an escooter. more about that potential law change in around half an hour. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. hello, good morning, welcome to bbc london i'm frankie mccamley. met police bosses are being questioned later by a cross—party committee of mps over the way they dealt with anti—monarchy protests during the coronation weekend. it's part of a wider inquiry following the arrest of six demonstrators under the new public order act. they were later freed with no further action, with the force expressing "regret" over their arrests. the government is set to announce the biggest rental reform in 35 years. it is expected the section 21 notice, where landlords can give just four weeks' notice to evict a tenant without reason, will be abolished. some renters say the reforms don't go far enough. landlords can still ask for their property back if they want to sell it or move back in.

so i'm not sure how that will be regulated, if they will ask for proof if the landlords are moving back in or selling. essentially it feels like a section 21, just without it being called that. also, just if you complain, will theyjust, at the end of your one—year tenancy say, "well, that's it, we don't want to renew your tenancy," and find someone else and put the rent up. now onto the weather. a few scattered showers around today but staying warm, highs of 18 degrees. that's it from me. lots more on our website including the win for greggs and its sausage rolls. i'm back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, in a reform of renting in england.

a heavy burden. that's how more than one in ten uk adults described their financial situation at the beginning of the year. that represents a leap of more than 40% compared before, we look at what it means. the titanic like you've never seen her before. the clearest images yet of the wreck which it's hoped will reveal more about how she sank. in sport this morning. it's the trophy they want above all others but are yet to win. can manchester city knockout out real madrid tonight, to reach the champions league final? many of us today have a dry day with sunny spells, but a few showers in eastern england and the midlands, and some rain across the north of scotland, accompanied by breezy conditions. mil scotland, accompanied by breezy conditions. �* ., ., , ., conditions. all of the details later in the programme. _ landlords will be banned from evicting tenants for no reason, as part of a long—promised overhaul

of the private rental sector in england. but new legislation being published today will make it easier for landlords to repossess properties from anti—social tenants. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. what you doing? renting is a way of life for anthony. the former police officer and his beloved cats are living in their third property in four years. he says the uncertainty that comes with being a tenant can be a strain. i don't believe there is security in the rent. i have always been a bit conscious of the rent, it always goes up, it never goes down. it is always going up and sometimes it can be100, £200. it's always massive insecurity about how much it's going to go up by and whether you can afford it. the government's long promised changes are designed to bring more stability to the rental sector in england. landlords will be banned from evicting tenants

withoutjustification in what ministers describe as a once in a generation overhaul. this is a fair deal for renters and it makes sure that they can be protected from the very small minority of rogue landlords who use the threat of no fault eviction to silence those tenants who want to complain about poor conditions or to intimidate some tenants into accepting extortionate rent rises. the renters reform bill also aims to guarantee safer, better quality homes with a decent home standard, make it illegal for landlords to ban outright tenants on benefits or those with children, and enable landlords to evict anti—social tenants or those in rent arrears more easily. landlords do not go around evicting tenants willy nilly. we want to keep people in their homes and we want them to have a great experience whilst they're with us. but obviously things go wrong and in those situations where they do go wrong it is right that landlords can rely on a replacement system that's fit for purpose.

labour say the changes have taken too long and are promising a host of new rights for tenants if they came to power. housing campaigners have broadly welcomed the changes but warn against leaving loopholes in the new laws that could still see renters unfairly evicted. the right to request a pet is another promised change. but four years since the government first pledged to ban no—fault evictions, the promised improvements to the private rental sector for anthony and millions like him can't come soon enough. jonathan blake, bbc news. one of the world's biggest car—makers has urged the government to renegotiate part of the brexit deal or risk "significantjob losses" at its uk plants. stellantis, which makes vauxhall, peugeot, citroen and fiat, had previously committed to making electric vehicles in the uk but now it says brexit trade rules are making it hard to source parts. we'rejoined now

by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. it's really interesting, nick, this, because it means that not only business but politicians as well are having to talk about brexit and whether that deal needs to change. yeah, absolutely, because stellantis has really been worried that the rules that part of the brexit deal are going to make it basically almost impossible to trade in the uk. this is all about rules of origin, about where parts of cars have come from. as part of the brexit deal, 45% of your parts have to come from the uk or the european union to escape terrace, or taxes on the sales of cars. an —— tariffs or taxes. this company is saying it cannot meet the figure at the moment because of some of the costs that have gone up because of the pandemic and because of the general business environment. so they are asking the

government to look at this again, to government to look at this again, to go back to europe and to try and get some tweaks to the deal. my understanding is that kemi badenoch, the business secretary, is going to speak to stellantis today for talks about what to do about this. government insiders are saying that she has also been speaking to european trade conditioners —— commissioners about this, it is a government problem that they knew was coming. sir keir starmer earlier on this programme said the government needs to go further. fin government needs to go further. on the government needs to go further. 0n the specific question of the brexit deal, _ the specific question of the brexit deal. we — the specific question of the brexit deal, we are not going to re—enter the eu, _ deal, we are not going to re—enter the eu, we — deal, we are not going to re—enter the eu, we do need to improve that deal _ the eu, we do need to improve that deal it_ the eu, we do need to improve that deal. it comes up for renewal, and of course _ deal. it comes up for renewal, and of course we — deal. it comes up for renewal, and of course we want a closer trading relationship, absolutely. we want a closer_ relationship, absolutely. we want a closer trading relationship. we want to ensure _ closer trading relationship. we want to ensure that vauxhall and many others _ to ensure that vauxhall and many others cannotjust to ensure that vauxhall and many others cannot just survive in this country— others cannot just survive in this country but _ others cannot just survive in this country but thrive, because there are jobs— country but thrive, because there are jobs bound country but thrive, because there arejobs bound up,

group of mps next week. six anti—monarchy protesters were arrested on coronation day this under public order laws. they were later released, and the force apologised for their management of the situation. witnesses for the evidence session will be announced in the coming days. more than ten million adults in the uk are struggling with paying their bills, according to the regulator, the financial conduct authority. nina's here to tell us more. notjust not just about this, but also about what to do. notjust about this, but also about what to do-— what to do. yes, and i think over the ast what to do. yes, and i think over the past year _ what to do. yes, and i think over the past year it _ what to do. yes, and i think over the past year it has _ what to do. yes, and i think over the past year it has been - what to do. yes, and i think over the past year it has been no - what to do. yes, and i think over i the past year it has been no secret that lots of households, most households have been feeling the strain in some way. what's striking about these figures is how many more people are struggling and how quickly the rise has been happening. this research by the fca, the financial conduct authority, who regulate banks, found that 20% or one in five uk adults this year in january said that managing their finances was a heavy burden to them.

that's a worry, but perhaps what is more worrying is that this represents a 40% increase when you compare to may of the year before. that's a really sharp rise. they offered some detail about how that is playing out at home. about 5.6 million people said that in at least three of the six previous months, they had decided to skip loan repayment or a bill in some way. that's more than one in ten people. so we are talking about huge chunks of the population really struggling in january. anyone of the population really struggling injanuary. anyone who has had to skip a bill will tell you about the psychological burden that that carries. these numbers are from january, and theoretically at least, things are set to ease as the year goes on. but as we found when the prime minister met with suppliers and retailers in the food supply chain yesterday, they say these prices are going to stay stubbornly high, meaning inflation will stay high, meaning inflation will stay high for the foreseeable future. the advice is to open a conversation

with your lender. they are legally obliged to help you manage your way with payments going forward. if they manage to do that, it means your credit rating will not be affected. whatever you do, they say, don't skip that having that chat. —— don't skip that having that chat. —— don't skip payments without having that chat. thank you, nina. and you can find more information, support and advice on the bbc�*s cost of living web page. just search for "bbc cost of living" in your browser. three uk energy suppliers are paid out a total of £8 million for delaying orfailing to make compensation payments to their customers. the regulator 0fgem says that 0ctopus energy, e.0n, and next either delayed or unduly missed payments to customers who switched. this is the first time 0fgem had taken action since making numerals

hasn't started yet. instead, staff have to deal with a long list of problems like this. it's supposed to be an intensive care unit, but there's an issue with ventilation, which means it can only be used as a storeroom. the hospital isn't watertight, so staff work around leaks. some areas are so unsafe they had to be entirely shut down. so you can't take us in this ward because it's been condemned? yeah, sadly, that's right. the floors have crumbled, the foundations have sunk, the windows are falling out. i'm frustrated on behalf of our patients. the very soonest that we would have a new build available for our patients is now 2027. and that's the optimistic version? that's the optimistic version, absolutely. what's your realistic version? i just don't know. i really don't know. there has been some movement. for example, this hospital building in brighton is due to open this summer.

leeds and other sites have demolished buildings to clear the way, but then things stalled. there are a0 hospitals in england that have been promised new buildings or major refurbishments by 2030. we've asked them all for a progress report. the first question was about money. 31 told us they don't yet have the funding in place to begin the main building work, although many may have had some cash to get their projects going. more than three quarters, 33 say they've not started the main construction. five are currently under way, leaving two that are finished and open to patients. both were in development before the new hospital programme started. it's never been clear that the money was all there to do what they wanted to do. they've underestimated how long it takes to change the way they design, build and plan hospitals. and i think it was never going to be achieved in the timescale that they wanted. it's a great ambition,

but i think a bit of realism is now starting to sink in. i think it's extremely unlikely that they'll hit the target by 2030. and the economy now is in a different place. inflation has gone up sharply, especially in construction. but the government insists it is committed to delivering all a0 new hospitals by 2030. officials say... in the meantime, st helier and other hospitals are pouring record amounts of money into basic maintenance, waiting for ministers to update them on when they'll get the cash to start their building work. catherine burns, bbc news. you've heard of "living

degrees. as we head through the evening and overnight, a lot of cloud around. a band of rain sinking south and east tending to fragment. the cloud across northern england could be thick enough for some drizzle or light rain, and these are the overnight lows. tomorrow we start on a more cloudy note than today, we will see a few showers dotted around and then a new weather front coming in across the west of scotland and northern ireland bringing some rain. raising the temperatures 11 in the north to 18 as we push down towards the south. thank you. we are heading into the middle of the atlantic now. it's probably the most famous shipwreck of all time, the focus of countless documentaries and hollywood movies, but there's a version of the titanic you haven't seen. experts have used special technology to map the entire ship on the ocean floor and create its "digital twin" and our science editor,

rebecca morelle, has been given exclusive access to the project. nearly a000 metres down, in the murky depths of the atlantic, the titanic. it's so huge that in the gloom, cameras can only ever show us tantalising snapshots of the decaying ship, never the whole thing. but now a new project has revealed the wreck, as it's never been seen before. there aren't many places big enough for the wreck of the titanic, but this is one of them, the stadium where the 2012 london olympics was held. a full—sized scan of the wreck has been captured. and to appreciate its scale, we've superimposed it in the stadium. the titanic was simply colossal, and this 3d scan reveals the wreck in its entirety. for the first time, we have an exact digital copy of the real thing. and what you see here is what's lying on the floor of the north atlantic ocean. not only can we get an idea of the ship's enormous size,

this scan also gives us a close—up view of its smallest details. you can explore the wreck from every angle. the boat deck here can be seen from above. the gaping hole provides a glimpse inside where the grand staircase once stood. and this is what's left of the captain's bridge and the wheelhouse covered in fragile stalactites of rust. already some remarkable detail can be seen like this serial number on a propeller. what makes this different is this is a true digital twin of the titanic. the resolution is phenomenal, genuinely phenomenal. i've not seen anything of that resolution. this will allow scientists, historians to really understand how the titanic came to be where it is. and it's also a snapshot in time. the titanic was scanned last summer.

submersibles were deployed remotely controlled from a ship. they travelled the length and breadth of the wreck back and forth. 700,000 images were taken from every angle to build up an exact 3d reconstruction. the wreck is in two parts. the bow is still instantly recognisable more than 100 years after it sank. 800 metres away, the stern, though, is a chaotic mess of metal. it collapsed as it corkscrewed into the sea floor. in the surrounding debris field, items are scattered, ornate metalwork, unopened champagne bottles and personal possessions too. dozens of shoes resting on the sediment. despite how extensively the titanic has been explored, there are still many fundamental questions. the hope is this scan could provide answers. we really don't understand the character of the collision with the iceberg. we don't even know if she hit it along the starboard side, as shown in all the movies.

she might have grounded on the iceberg. and this photogrammetry model is one of the first major steps to driving the titanic story toward evidence—based research and not speculation. the sea is taking its toll on the wreck. microbes are eating away at it and parts are disintegrating. time is running out to find out what happened on that april night in 1912, when more than 1,000 lives were lost. but the scan now freezes the wreck in time and allows experts to pore over every minute detail. the hope is titanic may yet give up its secrets. rebecca morelle, bbc news. it's amazing, amazing to see it. we're joined now by anthony geffen, who's the chief executive

of atlantic productions, one of the firms behind the project. i bet you still can't believe it when you see it on screen like we do. , , . , ., , do. this is that there is it has been revealed, i do. this is that there is it has been revealed, a i do. this is that there is it has been revealed, a long i do. this is that there is it has been revealed, a long time i do. this is that there is it has i been revealed, a long time coming, huge amount of work but it is amazing to see it in the detail which is phenomenal. they have tried to captured one—on—one detail which is incredible. to captured one-on-one detail which is incredible-— is incredible. what can we see that we have not _ is incredible. what can we see that we have not seen i is incredible. what can we see that we have not seen before? ii is incredible. what can we see that we have not seen before? i had i is incredible. what can we see that. we have not seen before? i had first been to the — we have not seen before? i had first been to the titanic i we have not seen before? i had first been to the titanic five i we have not seen before? i had first been to the titanic five years i we have not seen before? i had first been to the titanic five years ago i been to the titanic five years ago on an expedition because no one had been there for 1a years. we were looking at the state of the titanic. we wa nted we wanted to properly use science to see what happened on that fateful night. we used porter specialist mick who mounted an extraordinary ——

we used deep water specialists magellen, and they use scanning and deepwater technology which gave us the ability to look around the site and find out what happens, we will find out because the journey is beginning now, to find out what happened on that fateful night and also the detail of the personal stories. we can tell from the wreck, we can see personal details and tell personal stories. it’s we can see personal details and tell personal stories.— personal stories. it's really important _ personal stories. it's really important because i personal stories. it's really i important because sometimes we get fascinated or obsessed with the structure of the ship, understandably, a phenomenal achievement to build and they lose. but it's all about the people. it is all about the i but it's all about the people. it 3 all about the people. just a couple of examples of what the scientists are going to come out of the wreck with, we can go to boiler room one, and one of the titanic experts has worked out that when it imploded at the top of the boiler room, it was a light when it entered the water. we

nonintrusive. none of this technology ever touches the titanic or goes anywhere near the titanic so it's not intrusive. the bodies are long gone done. because of the conditions down there. i would hope the majority want to find things out. but it is very important that whatever we do we do into conjunction with the families of the survivors. it conjunction with the families of the survivors. , ., ,. ., conjunction with the families of the survivors. , . ,. ., ., ., ~ survivors. it is fascinating to talk to ou survivors. it is fascinating to talk to you and _ survivors. it is fascinating to talk to you and see — survivors. it is fascinating to talk to you and see those i survivors. it is fascinating to talk to you and see those images i survivors. it is fascinating to talk| to you and see those images this morning. it's one of those things that you think you know what happened, but we don't know at all, do we? we are finding out so much more. i do we? we are finding out so much more. ., .,. do we? we are finding out so much more. ., .. ., more. i love the fact that we will be able to _ more. i love the fact that we will be able to in _ more. i love the fact that we will be able to in the i more. i love the fact that we will be able to in the future, i more. i love the fact that we will be able to in the future, not i more. i love the fact that we will be able to in the future, notjust| be able to in the future, notjust by making a film about it, all of us will be able to walk among the wreckage of the titanic. and i think thatis wreckage of the titanic. and i think that is pretty extraordinary. and a new way of experiencing history. thank you for sharing with us this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning,

welcome to bbc london i'm frankie mccamley. met police bosses are being questioned later by a cross—party committee of mps over the way they dealt with anti—monarchy protests during the coronation weekend. it's part of a wider inquiry following the arrest of six demonstrators under the new public order act. they were later freed with no further action, with the force expressing "regret" over their arrests. the government is set to announce the biggest rental reform in 35 years. it is expected the 'section 21 notice', where landlords can give just four weeks' notice to evict a tenant without reason — will be abolished. some renters say the reforms don't go far enough. landlords can still ask for their property back if they want to sell it or move back in. so i'm not sure how that will be regulated, if they will ask for proof if the landlords are moving back in or selling.

essentially it feels like a section 21, just without it being called that. also, just if you complain, will theyjust, at the end of your one—year tenancy say, "well, that's it, we don't want to renew your tenancy," and find someone else and put the rent up. sea levels are rising much quicker than expected across the thames estuary, according to the environment agency. it says better protection is needed, and is working with partners on an updated defence plan just upstream of the thames barrier. they'll be raising tidal flood defences 15 years earlier than expected. the food chain greggs has won the right to sell late—night sausage rolls at its store on leicester square. the chain has come to an agreement with westminster city council allowing it to sell some baked goods and hot drinks until 2.00am on certain nights. the council had originally blocked the plans over concerns of anti—social behaviour.

let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on all the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is remaining reasonably settled today. it's a cool, chilly start, but temperatures rising. we've got high pressure in charge, so it is looking very similar to yesterday. some bright and some sunny spells, but also the chance of one or two showers. we've got some high level clouds this morning, so the sunshine fairly hazy. showers through the afternoon, potentially temperatures getting up to 18 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight tonight, any showers around this evening will gradually fade. it is going to be dry. we'll see some clearer spells. again, mightjust see a little bit of patchy cloud as we head through to thursday morning. the minimum temperature dropping to 7 celsius, so once again staying in single figures. tomorrow morning, it is going to be another bright start. high pressure remains in charge, so conditions fairly similar, dry with some sunny spells. and then through friday, this weak front just starts to edge towards us. and that could bring a chance

of a shower, especially towards western fringes of london. into the weekend, it is looking largely dry with some sunshine. i'll be back in half an hour. for now, back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. escooters — a green solution or a danger on our streets? well, the transport ministerjesse norman will discuss the future of the electric scooters at a select committee this morning. nina has more. these things are never straightforward. i am just outside

the building. you might love them or loathe them, we are talking about electronic escooters. you might be familiar with escooters like these populating our streets. these are part of rental scheme trials going on across england. the government hopes they'll help with congestion on the roads. you'll also see in the background, a different type of scooter — these can be sold in shops and online. you might recognise those ones too. but what exactly are the rules around riding e—scooters? two wheels, small electric motors. you might have seen escooters like these whizzing through the streets. so in the uk, you can buy an escooter, but you can only legally use it on private land with the landowner�*s permission. to ride around on the streets, you have to rent out

an escooter like this one. lots of areas across england are trialling electric scooters that you can rent. they're allowed on the road except for motorways and in cycle lanes. but they're not allowed on the pavements, and should only be used by one person at a time. trial escooters are limited to a speed of 15.5mph. in some areas, this may be lower. and to use one, you'll need a full or provisional driving licence, meaning you'll have to be at least 16 years old. the government first launched escooter trials in 2020, and local authorities can extend the use of them until next year. ministers say that will give them time to gather more evidence about how safe escooters are and their impact on congestion. two sides to this. let's speak to

the champions league final last year, before madrid produced an astonishing turnaround. the sides are level at 1—1 going into tonight's game at the etihad, with city are on an brilliant run. our sports editor dan roan reports. having all but secured yet another premier league title. manchester city are closing in on a remarkable treble. tonight, the club can reach what would be only its second champions league final. but the masters of this competition, reigning champions real madrid, stand in the way of city and their manager, pep guardiola. do you accept that this next month could define your team's potential legacy as one of the greatest club teams in modern history? our legacy is exceptional already, so... this may be one of the most important games since we are together here, we cannot deny that. for the competition, for the rival, for many things,

but i said to the players to live it like a huge opportunity and enjoy the moment. the semifinal�*s tantalisingly poised after the first leg in madrid, the hosts taking the lead before kevin de bruyne's superb equaliser secured a draw against city's conquerors at this stage of the competition last year. their preparations took an unexpected turn when the 1a—times winners were left temporarily stranded on arrival at manchester airport after their team coach failed to turn up on time. but their manager wasn't slow to hype up the game. real madrid and city in this moment are the best teams in europe, and for sure it will be exciting game as it was in the first leg. manchester city's quest for a first champions league crown, the title they want the most, has become one of football's great narratives, and such is their domestic domination, there is now a real sense that this side represents their best chance to date. and in the prolific erling haaland,

they have world football's most feared striker. with the tie on a knife edge, will he be the man to drive city to a date with destiny? dan roan, bbc news. so it's inter milan who await the winners — they reached the champions league final for the first time in 13 years, with a 1—0 win over rivals ac milan. they were already 2—0 up from the first leg, lautaro martinez provided the finishing touch in the second half to make the tie comfortable. the final is onjune the 10th in istanbul. the manchester united sale rumbles on after it was revealed last night the qatari banker sheikh jassim has made an improved offer to buy the club. the fresh bid was submitted on tuesday morning, amid further talks involving the raine group who are handling the sale.

nine years ago, luton town were in the national league, now they're dreaming of reaching the premier league for the very first time, after reaching the championship play—off final. a goal down from the first leg against sunderland, club captain and player of the season tom lockyer set up gabriel osho to level the tie, before then scoring himself just before half—time to make it 3—2. they will now take on middlesbrough or coventry for promotion — they're goalless going into tonight's second leg. and which side of the net do you stand on this one? cam norrie against novak djokovic, the latter less than impressed with the brit. novak gave up on a point during the italian open and was walking away, only for norrie to fire the return which hit his ankle. his reaction said it all, despite norrie's apology. he said it was one of a number

of things that had wound him up. djokovic said, "he's a nice guy off the court, "i don't understand this kind of attitude on the court." i look forward to them playing again, perhaps they will meet at wimbledon. john, thank you. here on breakfast, we like to revisit stories and give you an update. well, here's one from almost 1a years ago, and it's about snakes! back in the summer of 2009, we told you how conservationists were trying to reintroduce smooth snakes into parts of the uk where they hadn't been seen for 50 years. well, our reporter then was tim muffett, and he's been back to find out how they're getting on. anyone with a phobia of snakes might want to look away now. they're about to be let

loose in parts of devon. july 2009. it's all about these things here, the smooth snake. off you go. good luck. and live on bbc breakfast, smooth snakes are released into heathland in east devon, the first relocation project of its kind. ten snakes have been brought from dorset to try and boost numbers in the south—west of england. winding its way into the undergrowth, off into the wild. it was organised by the amphibian and reptile conservation trust. but would it work? so 1a years later, how did the snakes get on? well, i've come back to find out. the pebblebed heaths in east devon are home to more than 3,000 animal species, including rare birds like the dartford warbler and rare butterflies like the silver—studded blue.

hello. good to see you. and you've got a snake. we do. we have a smooth snake caught this morning under under license to show you today from this site. it's a healthy adult male. as far as you can tell, how successful was this relocation project? it's been a success. in the first few years, there wasn't a huge amount of activity. now those animals, there's evidence that they've bred in the area. this is the evidence — a juvenile smooth snake filmed on this site last year. more and more young snakes have been spotted here recently. that's a really, really good sign for us. evidence of breeding here. so that means this landscape here is being managed well enough. before the relocation, smooth snakes hadn't been seen in devon for 50 years. conservationists are now monitoring sightings to try and work out how many there now are. but smooth snakes are shy, so counting them will be hard. it's really time to put him back, i think. corrugated iron sheets have been placed here deliberately, as snakes like to hide under them. we'll lower this very, very gently so that he has the opportunity

to move off into the undergrowth. smooth snakes are non—venomous. they're also found in northern and central europe, as well as parts of asia. but in the uk, they've become very hard to spot. the main reason smooth snakes are so rare in the uk is that they only tend to live in sandy heathland like this, and over the past 200 years or so, huge areas of heathland have disappeared, replaced by farmland, roads, or buildings, orjust neglected and not maintained. we've lost somewhere nationally in the region of about 85% of the uk's lowland heath, and those prestigious little bits that are left provide home to a whole network of different plants and animals and reptiles. encouraging snakes to spread far and wide isn't easy, but five miles away, volunteers for the

snakes in the heather project are hoping to do just that. like with many species, their habitat has been decimated around the country. the idea is that we'd have an area where heat is produced and the young would have a place of safety before they start moving away. we're trying to enhance the habitat here and enhance the numbers. smooth snakes can live for 20 years, so the snakes we saw being released in 2009 could still be alive. they've definitely been breeding, just as conservationists had hoped. tim muffett, bbc news, east devon. do you think any of the snakes recognised term? the experts say if you see a smooth snake out and about, do not pick them up, they are about, do not pick them up, they are a protected species, you can handle them with a special licence.

the time traveller's wife is a story which has a cult following among romance and sci—fi lovers and for good reason. the best—selling book which centres around time—traveller henry, who falls in love with scultptor clare, was turned into a film in 2009. and now the story has found a new home on stage as a musical, with music and lyrics written by singer—songwriterjoss stone and dave stewart from eurythmics. let's take a look at rehearsals. # it goes on # i never stood still
