our diplomatic correspondentjames landale reports from kyiv. this is a war of attrition, one where soldiers like these ukrainian servicemen near bakhmut sit in the trenches and fire mortars at russian positions. along front line that often don't move for months. president zelensky, who has visited a summit of arab leaders in saudi arabia knows what he thinks could and the relative stalemate, and he doesn't have enough of it. we and the relative stalemate, and he doesn't have enough of it.- and the relative stalemate, and he doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles — doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles that _ doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles that our _ doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles that our enemy - doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles that our enemy has, i doesn't have enough of it. we do not| have missiles that our enemy has, we have missiles that our enemy has, we have less air power. four have missiles that our enemy has, we have less air power.— have less air power. four months he has tau . ht have less air power. four months he has taught world _ have less air power. four months he has taught world capitals _ have less air power. four months he has taught world capitals with - have less air power. four months he has taught world capitals with a - has taught world capitals with a simple request. he was at westminster in february, giving the speaker a pilot �*s helmet. {lin westminster in february, giving the speaker a pilot 's helmet.— speaker a pilot 's helmet. on the helmet leads _ speaker a pilot 's helmet. on the helmet leads -- _ speaker a pilot 's helmet. on the helmet leads -- reads _ speaker a pilot 's helmet. on the helmet leads -- reads we - speaker a pilot 's helmet. on the helmet leads -- reads we have i helmet leads —— reads we have freedom, give us wings to protect it. this is what he wants. f423

to support this country militarily for a long time to come. for now, though, in places like bakhmut, the fighting continues, as both sides wait for ukrainian commanders to decide when to launch their long expected assault. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. ourjapan correspondent shaimaa khalil is at the g7 summit in hiroshima. we were hearing if you like the response from key eve they are to this major —— key if they are to this major —— key if they are to this major —— key if they are to this major announcement from the us, i imagine this has dominated the early stages of the summit there? tell us more. i think it is the biggest line we have had. obviously, we started with sanctions against russia, this assertiveness and the unified stance against russia and the support for ukraine, really, charlie, this announcement is very significant in the way that it's going to change what kind of support ukraine gets. you heard if they are from president

zelenskyy. he said we are looking for freedom and we are looking for wings to help us achieve that, and he's been asking for this for months now, this is support for f—i6s and he has finally got what he has wished for. president biden has finally given the ok for other countries to provide these planes, but more crucially, he has agreed to join a coalition of other governments to help train ukrainian pilots on fourth—generation jets, including the f—16 fighters, and president zelenskyy has said this is going to make his army very effective in the skies. remember, ukraine doesn't own any western made fighters, jet fighters, so this is going to make a big difference. he is expected here in the next few hours. no doubt he is going to be talking about that. the next biggest thing or the other biggest thing they are going to be talking about todayis they are going to be talking about today is china, and the g7 leaders have a very tough balancing act to make. how do you become more assertive with beijing, how do you hold them accountable in their

practices, especially with economic origin, but also how do you maintain economic ties with beijing that have been crucial for most of the countries, including the countries coming here. votes in northern ireland's local elections are still being counted, with more than half the council seats now filled. a62 seats are being contested, across 11 councils, with sinn fein on course to become the largest party in local government. police are continuing to investigate a dog attack, near wigan, in which a 37—year—old man died. a 24—year—old man was arrested, on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out—of—control dog. protesters will take part in a mass paddle at 12 bathing spots across the uk today, to demonstrate against the discharging of sewage into the sea. it comes after water companies in england apologised for repeated sewage spills, of which there were 300,000 last year.

parts of northern italy are on high alert for landslides, after heavy rain and floods, which have already left 14 dead, and thousands homeless. in more remote villages, some residents are running out of food and drinking water, with aid workers unable to reach them. our correspondent sofia bettiza reports. an entire village underwater. people forced to move around using canouse. others taking refuge upstairs, as the ground floors of their homes are submerged in flood water. this is the devastating reality for dozens of towns in the region of emilia romagna. after six months of rain fell in one day and a half. more than 15,000 people had to flee their homes. this woman says that the walls started to crumble, then water came in through the windows and from the garage. her son lost everything

prime minister has allocated 30 million euros to tackle the emergency, but many are urging the government to put in place a national plan to deal with floods caused by climate change, which are becoming more and more common in italy. this is a broken community, and with more rain expected at the weekend, the whole region remains under a red alert with a warning. which means this emergency is far from over —— a red alert weather warning. nasa has enlisted a second high—profile billionaire, in its efforts to get astronauts back on the moon. the us agency is already working with elon musk�*s firm, spacex. now the amazon founder, jeff bezos, has won a contract to build a spacecraft, as our science correspondentjonathan amos reports. they are two of the richest

individuals on the planet. one, elon musk, has made his fortune by transferring the car industry. the other, jeff bezos, by reinventing the way we buy things online, but they both have the same passion, for space. musk and jeff bezos are building rockets and spacecraft to get humanity off earth. nasa has already teamed with elon musk and his space x company to develop a novel rocket system that will also be able to land on planets. it is called starship and had its maiden flight last month, although it didn't quite go to plan, blowing up afterfour minutes. now didn't quite go to plan, blowing up after four minutes. now it's the turn ofjeff bezos and his blue origin company. nasa wants them to build this, a landing craft, to put astronauts on the moon. it is going to cost about $7 billion. nasa and blue origin will share the cost. these are public—private partnerships. it's the new way that we go to the moon. it helps nasa

yourjourney because, i don't know how it is for your journey this because, i don't know how it is for yourjourney this morning, here in salford in the north—west, a beautiful morning and it is that kind of a day. it beautiful morning and it is that kind of a day-— kind of a day. it was for me as well, it is _ kind of a day. it was for me as well, it is nice _ kind of a day. it was for me as well, it is nice to _ kind of a day. it was for me as well, it is nice to actually - kind of a day. it was for me as well, it is nice to actually see | well, it is nice to actually see daylight start to appear at liam, but thatis daylight start to appear at liam, but that is the case. we are only a month away of course from the summer solstice, and it is going to be a fine day for some of you but it won't be the same everywhere. it will be a bit of a mix this weekend effect between england and wales and scotland and northern ireland. the brightest conditions with some strong sunshine overhead will be across england and wales, scotland and northern ireland was a lot more cloud, there will be some brightness but the cloud set to bring a bit of rain at times, because we have this weather front that will naturally work its way in and stall. it is running into a big area of high pressure, which is what keeps things dry out for much of england and wales was to where we start the day with dense areas of fog through parts of northern england and the midlands, that will clear. the bit of a breeze blowing to east anglia, betty fairweather cloud, patchy rain in eastern areas first thing this morning, scotland and northern ireland, things turned drier, and

then we start to see some showers into the rest later. that will stop the strong sunshine from getting through for some of you, but across england and wales, as i said, we are only a month away from the sun at its strongest. some pretty high uv levels and it will help to lift the temperature too, up to around 21 degrees across western areas, cooler along the eastern coast and scotland and northern ireland, a cooler day, given more cloud around than yesterday. tonight, the cloud thickens up further, some are widespread outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, easing into the morning, stopping the temperatures from dropping much here, won't be too chilly a night, but a rather cool, fresh night for england and wales once again. temperatures in one or two spots down to around three to five degrees. but england and wales start tomorrow with lots of sunshine around, the exception probably around, the exception probably around some parts of east anglia and the south—east, a lot more cloudier to begin with. it will break up, sunny spells but it will transfer further westwards, could see some low cloud into north sea coast later, the rain in scotland and northern ireland fizzles out for most. one or two showers will continue but temperatures down a

little bit of what we have seen of late, whereas for england and wales, away from those eastern coasts, again, we could get up to around 21 degrees. and then, as we go into next week, a big area of a high pressure trying to build in from the azores. on the edge of it still some cloud and weather fronts close to scotland and northern ireland by compared with this weekend actually, monday in scotland and northern ireland will be a brighter day sunny spells, a few showers towards the north and the east admittedly. england and wales, varying amounts of cloud some longer spells of sunshine and temperatures could climb further, 22 to 23 towards the south—east, only ia, sorry the south—west, only ia in scotland. this area of high pressure, the azores high, just on the edge of it still, it is fairly stubborn. some cloud and outbreaks of rain in the north and scotland through this coming week, but overall, after what has been a pretty wet spring, especially for england and wales, we are going to finish the month on a reasonably dry note and a pleasant one. temperatures will be around levels they should be. you may have seen chat about heatwaves etc, that's not the case but i promise

you it will feel very nice when the sun is out. that is how it is looking. back to you. tributes have been pouring in for andy rourke, the bassist with indie band the smiths, whose death, at the age of 59, was announced yesterday. the band's drummer, mikejoyce, has been sharing his memories of andy with our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. music plays how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very — how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. _ how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. i— how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. i kind _ how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. i kind of _ how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. i kind of felt - how are you feeling? bewildered. he had been very ill. i kind of felt as - had been very ill. i kind of felt as though it was going to be... we weren't going to be waiting longer for that call, and when we did get

realised just how good a bass player he was. i don't think he ever really embraced just how momentous his contribution towards music he is. i don't think he ever grasped that unrealised. he never saw himself as a great bass player because it was so effortless for him, so easy for him. he does put the base on a magic would happen. the first record we ever released... what is he doing?! bass players are supposed to go along with the guitar, one string. no, and he was such an incredibly melodic player and a wonderful empathy with what he was hearing behind him. empathy with what he was hearing behind him-— # i #iam # i am human...

oh, he's cheeky today, isn't he! laughter good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today — the united states backs supplying fighterjets to ukraine for its war against russia. president zelensky says it's an historic decision. the announcement was made at the g7 summit injapan, and welcomed by international leaders, including prime minister rishi sunak. large areas of northern italy remain on high alert, after flooding kills 11! people, and thousands are left homeless.

good morning. dreading the drop — it's a crucial weekend in the premier league, with four teams battling to avoid the final two relegation places. and in the weather, whilst there will be plenty of strong sunshine for england and wales this weekend, scotland and northern ireland always will be a bit more cloudy. your focus coming up. it's saturday the 20th of may. our top story — ukraine's president zelensky has welcomed a decision by the united states to allow western allies to provide f—i6 fighterjets to his country, describing the move as "historic". us presidentjoe biden confirmed his agreement during the g7 summit of world leaders injapan, which president zelensky will attend tomorrow. prime minister rishi sunak has given his backing to the announcement. our diplomatic correspondentjames landale reports from kyiv.

this is a war of attrition, one where soldiers, like these ukrainian servicemen, near bakhmut, sit in their trenches and fire mortars at russian positions, along frontlines that often don't move for months. president zelensky, who has visited a summit of arab leaders in saudi arabia, knows what he thinks could help end the relative stalemate, and he doesn't have enough of it. we do not have enough missiles as our enemy has, we have less air power. for months, he has taught world capitals with a simple request. he was at westminster in february, giving the speaker a pilot's helmet. on the helmet reads, "we have freedom, "give us wings to protect it". this is what he wants.

f—i6 fighter jets, like these flown by the polish air force. modern warplanes that could give ukraine greater control of the skies. some european countries are ready to give some of theirs to ukraine, but they are all made by the united states, and that means that president biden, who is at the g7 summit injapan, needs to give his permission first. he has been reluctant, fearing it could escalate the war, but now his officials say the us will help train ukrainian pilots, and will not stop european countries donating some f—i6s. this comes after concerted pressure from european leaders, including rishi sunak, who earlier this week promised president zelensky to gather international support for getting ukraine the air power it needed. but training pilots and delivering planes will take many, many months, so they are unlikely to play any role in ukraine's coming counteroffensive. but this decision to send a strong position to moscow that western allies are determined to support this country militarily for a long time to come. for now, though, in places like bakhmut, the fighting continues, as both sides wait

for ukrainian commanders to decide when to launch their long expected assault. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. james joins us now from kyiv. morning to you, james, clearly as you explained in your report, a lot of symbolism attached to that decision from the us. talk to us more about the practicalities of what's happening on the ground and how that might change. well, right now, what's going to happen is that european countries are going to get together, all the countries that have got these aircraft, they are going to work with other countries like the uk, we haven't got any, try and work out how best to train the pilots as quickly as possible. then at the same time decisions will be made about who gives which planes, when, where and how. the ukrainians asking for a squadron, two or three squadrons also so we're talking maybe 30, a0 aircraft, but i don't think this will happen soon. training takes some months. delivering these aircraft takes time

to talk about the support, who is going to be doing all the maintenance and things like that, where are they going to do the maintenance, how are you going to protect those places where you do the maintenance? 50 there is a lot to discuss and nothing will happen quickly and as i said in the report, none of this will affect the coming counteroffensive. this is all about the long—term aim of trying to deter future russian aggression. in the months and years to come. it is not about preventing more air strikes, as we had last night. we had more drones coming in, quite a few in the centre of kyiv, again, the air defence and shot them all down. getting these aircraft to ukraine is about, as you say, giving them the capacity to deter future aggression but also to send a very strong signal to moscow that western allies remain resolute and determined to support this country militarily for a long time to come. teii support this country militarily for a long time to come.— a long time to come. tell us a little more — a long time to come. tell us a little more if _ a long time to come. tell us a little more if you _ a long time to come. tell us a little more if you whit - a long time to come. tell us a little more if you whit about i a long time to come. tell us a - little more if you whit about some things you witnessed. you mentioned those strikes —— tell us more if you

thank you very much. james landale, our diplomatic editor reporting from clevedon. —— from kyiv. ourjapan correspondent shaimaa khalil is at the g7 summit in hiroshima. good to see you. we've got this meeting, the meeting continues, after that, then what? after this announcement there are several meetings. i think one of the biggest lines to come, apart from the f—i6s line is that james was talking about, as the g7�*s approach to china. expect to hear a couple of words a lot in the coming days will stop economic coercion and de—risking. this is basically the new approach towards china. the g7 countries are condemning china's, what they call economic coercion. also they stand against what they have described as malign practices. they want to ensure that technology, trade are safe from these practices,

but also this word, de—risking, the fact that they want to depend less on china, depend less on the chinese economy, on chinese money, on chinese exports. it is a mean feet, if they can pull it off, because essentially what they are trying to do is maintain the balance. how do you hold china accountable, how do you hold china accountable, how do you counter this expansion of influence in the region and beyond, how do you make sure that taiwan, the centre of semiconductor industry, is central but also maintain business with china? there is an amazing mind boggling stat that my colleague laura bicker shared, but in 1985, the total export of the us to china was $a billion. fast forward to last year 2022, that number went to more than $500 billion. how do you reverse that, how do you move that ship? that is the balancing act they are trying to achieve, and it will be very difficult. and of course all of thatis very difficult. and of course all of that is not making beijing happy. they responded, and they told the g7

leaders that you should not turn this summit into a political show. we have also seen rishi sunak and emmanuel macron meet. these are two leaders with very close ties but very different approaches to beijing, because france says we need to be careful that this g7 summit is not seen as anti—china, and i think in their conversations this must have come up. in their conversations this must have come up— in their conversations this must have come up. really fascinating, thank ou have come up. really fascinating, thank you for— have come up. really fascinating, thank you for taking _ have come up. really fascinating, thank you for taking us _ have come up. really fascinating, thank you for taking us through i thank you for taking us through that. votes in northern ireland's local elections are still being counted, with sinn fein making strong gains. the party is on course to replace the democratic unionist is the largest force in local government. our ireland correspondent chris page. he is at belfast city hall. just explain, we have some partial picture at this stage, do we, of just what's happened?- picture at this stage, do we, of just what's happened? yes, that's riaht, just what's happened? yes, that's

right. charlie. _ just what's happened? yes, that's right, charlie. we _ just what's happened? yes, that's right, charlie. we have _ just what's happened? yes, that's right, charlie. we have still- just what's happened? yes, that's right, charlie. we have still about| right, charlie. we have still about a third of the council seats to be counted. a62 seats up for grabs this time round, every council seat in northern ireland, so the count is a bit of a marathon. the second day of counting is about to start, but the overall picture is pretty clear actually, the story of this election is the surge of sinn fein. the irish republican party, whose ultimate aim is to take northern ireland out of the uk andjoin is to take northern ireland out of the uk and join in with the republic of ireland. it looks likely that sinn fein will be the largest party in local government here for the first time. they are standing, looking like they are going to come out at about 125 council seats. that means they will overtake it is thought, the democratic unionist party. now the dup has not suffered any significant losses, so the big question really for people in northern ireland arising out of this local government election is what it's going to be in for the future

of the devolved governments. the dup has been blocking the formation of a power—sharing executive at stormont in effect for 15 months now in protest against brexit trading arrangements. it says it will continue its veto as long as it believes there are trade barriers separating northern ireland from the rest of the uk. but the fact that sinn fein is doing so well, also the fact that the vote for other parties, such as the cross community alliance party, is strong. there has been no breakthrough for hardline unionist parties, may mean that a restoration of stormont may be becoming more likely over the coming months. . becoming more likely over the coming months. , ., ., ., ,, months. chris, for the moment, thank ou. an hrt drug, for women going through menopause, is being limited, due to rising demand. pharmacists are being told to dispense only two months' worth of utrogestan capsules. the order was issued by the department of health, which says it will ensure more women can continue to access the medication they need. police are continuing to investigate a dog attack,

near wigan, in which a 37—year—old man, jonathan hogg, died. a 2a—year—old man was arrested, on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out—of—control dog. a bill has been passed, banning abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, with some exceptions. the bill also bans "gender—altering surgery" and restricts hormone therapy and puberty—blocking drugs, for transgender people under 19. parts of northern italy are on high alert for landslides after heavy rain and floods, which have already left 1a dead and thousands homeless. in more remote villages, some residents are running out of food and drinking water, with aid workers unable to reach them. our correspondent sofia bettiza reports. an entire village underwater, people forced to move around using canoes, others taking refuge upstairs, as the ground floors of their homes are submerged in flood water.

this is the devastating reality for dozens of towns in the region of emilia—romagna, after six months of rain fell in a day and a half. more than 15,000 people had to flee their homes. this woman says that the walls started to crumble, then water came in through the windows, and from the garage. her son lost everything he owns. translation: divers | rescued us at midnight. there were six of them. they broke through our gate with a boat. three of them loaded our grandma on a dinghy. they were very kind. translation: water started to get into my house at around one - in the morning. lam disabled. i was lying on the sofa. i never thought the water would enter with such violence. for days, rescue workers have waded

through mud and debris to try and save people, but it is proving to be difficult, because so many roads are flooded. you can see the damage everywhere you look here. when rivers, like that one, broke their banks, they inundated entire towns and villages. some of them are still underwater, and even though it's stopped raining now, the emergency is not over, and people here are still scared. the prime minister has allocated 30 million euros to tackle the emergency, but many are urging the government to put in place a national plan to deal with floods caused by climate change, which are becoming more and more common in italy. this is a broken community, and with more rain expected at the weekend, the whole region remains under a red—alert weather warning, which means this emergency is far from over.

those pictures absolutely showing the devastation that large areas of northern italy are dealing with. matt is also taking a look. good morning to you. it is notjust the cleanup, is it? it is about how they content with more incoming weather which just exacerbates an already terrible situation.— which just exacerbates an already terrible situation. indeed. what was months of extreme _ terrible situation. indeed. what was months of extreme drought, - terrible situation. indeed. what was months of extreme drought, we - terrible situation. indeed. what was. months of extreme drought, we have seen spouts of flooding. the latest this week turning streets into rivers and more rain to come this weekend. the worse is week has been in that region, but as i go through the weekend, the bright colours here on the rainfall chart shows how the rain will fall. across the western alps and to written, we could see 100 to 200 millimetres of rain, not far behind that across parts of

sardinia. parcel flash flooding and landslides will be possible as we go through the weekend and the various red warnings in place. it is a pretty delicate situation there and it could worsen for some. some of the rain spreading into parts of southern france whether local authorities actually welcome it. drought has been impacted here. this area of low pressure has been named as storm nino. there will be some exceptions across scotland and northern ireland, a split for us this weekend. much of england and wales will stay dry and sunny, there will be more cloud and rain in ireland. eastern parts of scotland and northern ireland, things will brighten up but a cloudy picture overall. a lot of missed and low cloud and fog over the next few hours and strong sunshine overhead. about a month, the strong sun, bear

in mind uv levels are a bit lower to the north and west of the cloud. some rain later on to northern ireland. a cooler day compared to yesterday. a warmer day for england and wales, especially in the west. east anglia and southeast, some cloud putting into night. cloud will thicken to bring heavier bursts of rain into tomorrow morning. double figures for some, but a chilly start tomorrow across england and wales, shouldn't have fog patches around tomorrow, although more cloud to the farthest southeast corner which will break up the study spells. some low cloud and fog towards eastern coast later. scotland and the northern island will start cloudy, a bit showery. a bit more sunshine to the north and west as well. still cooler here though compared with england and wales. temperatures up in the

west once again. looking ahead into this coming week, it looks like high pressure will dominate for most. rain in the north of scotland at times, but for many it will be a dry weekend with plenty of sunshine. temperatures around average for the time of year. the sunshine plays into developing and our electricity from solar power, but on the subject of the mediterranean and spain, on tuesday they generated over 100% of their demand from renewable energy for at least nine hours, the longest speu for at least nine hours, the longest spell we have ever seen recorded. some good news to end with. it is some good news to end with. it is fascinating. _ some good news to end with. it is fascinating, isn't _ some good news to end with. it is fascinating, isn't it? we always talk about the possibility, what is out there in terms of renewable energy. but when you see a statistic like that, nine hours solid... the su -l like that, nine hours solid... the supply actually — like that, nine hours solid... ti;e: supply actually exceeded the demand as well. a good travelling where we

restrictions- — restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, _ restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, an _ restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, an onshore - restrictions. firstly, an onshore wind farm has to be located in an area that has been identified as suitable for onshore wind in a local planning policy documents, and even if you are able to do that, then there is also a second requirement of community backing, and the wording of that requirement is extremely difficult to achieve. to encourage more land—based turbines, the government has some new ideas. communities that post a turbine could get a share of its profits, there could be cut—price energy schemes in return for turbines being built, and new community facilities such as sports clubs and electric car charging points. and here in sanctum, the community is already benefiting from these incentives. over the 25 year lifespan of this wind farm, special ground support of £1 million to be paid out. derek shows me the village hall built with turbine money. in fact the parish

council is almost running out of ideas of how to spend it all. there is some underspend _ ideas of how to spend it all. there is some underspend money - ideas of how to spend it all. there is some underspend money at - ideas of how to spend it all. there is some underspend money at the j is some underspend money at the moment, and they are encouraging small groups to ask for money. i think they should be grabbing it with both hands! i think eventually residence will benefit by the wind farm in as much as, you know, they will be giving local people discounts from their energy. this, thouih, is discounts from their energy. this, though. is in _ discounts from their energy. this, though, is in the _ discounts from their energy. this, though, is in the same _ discounts from their energy. this, though, is in the same county where people have taken to the streets in protest over onshore wind. there has been deep opposition to the visual impact on landscapes like this one. but renewable energy campaigners believe the public mood is changing, and what the planning system to change with it.— and what the planning system to change with it. there are a lot of communities _ change with it. there are a lot of communities really _ change with it. there are a lot of communities really keen - change with it. there are a lot of communities really keen to - change with it. there are a lot of i communities really keen to develop their own projects, and saying we want to do this, and at the moment,

during the morning. summer is supposedly on the way, but parts of the uk have seen serious floods in the last week or two. matt was hinting to it a little earlier. this was the scene in ottery st mary, in devon, where torrential rain saw primary school children being rescued. there was widespread disruption across devon and other parts of the southwest. now, the environment agency is urging people to prepare their homes for the next deluge. it's asking those at risk to invest in flood resilience measures. our cost—of—living correspondent kevin peachey has been to find out more. nick and annie lupton's worcestershire home is there ireland, but what has arisen around them nine times in the last four years, but thanks to flood revenge on measures, they have pretty much get the house dry. it is on measures, they have pretty much get the house dry-— get the house dry. it is not a pleasant _ get the house dry. it is not a pleasant experience - get the house dry. it is not a j pleasant experience because get the house dry. it is not a - pleasant experience because the water is muddy, there is lots of silt in the water. we have kept it

feel of the good has been good in the last three games, and i think that's important, going into the next two, but the necks of being the most important, which is wolves. now another big issue to be settled is who finishes in the top four, and the champions league places. liverpool are still clinging to the hope that either newcastle or manchester united will slip up in that race. they host aston villa, and it promises to be an emotional day at anfield, with four players — james milner, roberto firmino, alex oxlade—chamberlain and naby keita — all leaving, when their contracts expire next month. one chapter is, will be closed, and we can start writing a new one. that's good as well for them, and for us, but they will never be forgotten from us, 100% not, and i will be forever thankful to them, because how i said, without them, nothing would have happened. they were super important in all that they did, and that is the farewell they did, and that is the farewell they deserve. now, it's going to be an all south yorkshire final in the play—offs, to decide who is promoted from league one

to the championship. this is after barnsley beat bolton in the second leg of their semifinal. cheered on by their home crowd, liam kitching scored the only goal of the game, to send barnsley through, 2—1, on aggregate, and they will meet sheffield wednesday in the final at wembley, after their comeback heroics on thursday. bolton now face a third successive season in the third tier. partick thistle, won the first leg of their scottish premiership play off semi—final against ayr united, 3—0. they'll play again next week and then the winners will play the team second from bottom in the premiership for a place in the top flight next season. meanwhile, annan athletic have been promoted to the third tier of scottish football for the first time in their history. they beat clyde, 2—1, to win, 5—2, over both legs, to replace clyde in league one. on to the golf. it's getting so tight at the top of the leaderboard at the us pga championship. scottie scheffler, viktor hovland

and corey conners share the lead at five under par in rochester, upstate new york. but how about callum tarren? in his third ever major, the darlington man is tied sixth, just three shots off the lead. he was tied 315t at the us open in 2022 and missed the cut in 2019. he's the highest british player on the leaderboard, heading into the third round. rory mcilroy had another mixed round, still struggling to find his best form, but he turned it around on the ninth, hitting the first of his three birdies in the round, and then no bogeys from this point on either. mcilroy is level par. when i hit that putter, as unaccompanied by five back. i know if i can get it in play off the tee, thatis if i can get it in play off the tee, that is the key to my success over the weekend. if i can get the ball and play off the tee, i will have a shot. just over a week to go at the giro d'italia. still britain's geraint thomas remains two seconds clear in the overall lead after 13 stages of

this tour. bad weather saw yesterday's stage cut from 123 miles to just a6, with the riders spending more time on their team buses than their bikes. colombia's einer rubio claimed the first stage victory of his career. thomas finished ninth, just ahead of his race rival, primoz roglic. it's finals time in european rugby union, with all eyes on dublin, and in today's champions cup final, leinster will hope to fare better against french opposition than glasgow warriors did last night against toulon in the challenge cup. the french side emphatically beat the warriors, a3—19, in the final in dublin. italian legend sergio parisse scored the second of toulon's six tries on his last european appearance, before he retires at the end of the season. it was toulon's first challenge cup success at their fifth attempt. talking of dublin, what a night it is, what weekend it is in dublin, you have the finals then this.

boxer katie taylor's long—awaited homecoming fight in ireland tonight when she takes on chantelle cameron in dublin. it will be the first time in boxing history that two undisputed champions have met, with taylor stepping up from lightweight to challenge cameron for her super lightweight titles. should taylor win, she would have the unique distinction of being the first undisputed champion in two weight divisions. what an atmosphere it is there coming into the away end, with the violinist playing drunk sailor. i was listening to statement yesterday, he said it was like all your nights in benidorm rolled into one, just the atmosphere, the music, the partying, because of the rugby finals and s. the partying, because of the rugby finals and s-_ the partying, because of the rugby finals and s. real symbolism of the event happening — finals and s. real symbolism of the event happening at _ finals and s. real symbolism of the event happening at all, _ finals and s. real symbolism of the event happening at all, the - finals and s. real symbolism of the event happening at all, the boxingl event happening at all, the boxing event, isn't it, because so few have been allowed to happen.— been allowed to happen. that's riiht. been allowed to happen. that's right. because _ been allowed to happen. that's right. because of— been allowed to happen. that's right. because of the _ been allowed to happen. that's right. because of the so-called| right. because of the so-called troubles and _ right. because of the so-called troubles and everything. it i right. because of the so-called troubles and everything. it has right. because of the so-called i troubles and everything. it has all been caught up. find troubles and everything. it has all been caught up— troubles and everything. it has all been caught up. and this is breaking new round been caught up. and this is breaking new ground because _ been caught up. and this is breaking new ground because of _ been caught up. and this is breaking new ground because of the - been caught up. and this is breaking new ground because of the step i been caught up. and this is breaking new ground because of the step up i been caught up. and this is breaking| new ground because of the step up in waits for katie taylor. a unique

have any cheekbones, so my eyes appear the way they are. i call them my little bart simpson ears. so i metjean, who fostered me at two weeks old, and she adopted me when i was five, and throughout that entire process, she fostered other children, all with different disabilities. looking back at high school, i have so many amazing memories, but behind those moments, there was me trying my best to fit in. the older kids would pull their eyes down, they would sing or make chance up about myself. as i got older and people started getting into relationships, that kind of didn't really happen for me, and that's when i developed so much hate for my face. i wanted to hurt them as much as i was hurting. i was in a

really, really dark, angry place, when i thought about my birth parents. i wanted to reach out to them to let them know that i was ok, and i was happy. 50 we wrote a letter, and a coupler, a week later, we got a letter back, and it simply said... and both of them had signed it. being rejected by those two people again, it hurt. years ago, i was asked to do a school talk and i was deadin asked to do a school talk and i was dead in the playground and a couple of kids went over, and they said, jono, can you show us your hearing aid. i live with my grandparents, jono, i don't know my mum and dad, jono, i don't know my mum and dad, jono, i don't know my mum and dad, jono, i get bullied because of xyz. right there in that playground, i was like, i need to do more of this.

over the last two years, i've been working on my very first book, not all heroes wear capes, and it is about the heroes i have met in my life, and how ultimately i became a own biggest hero. the truth is my life has been full of a lot of love, and a lot of adventure. jono lancaster sharing his story. thanks to jono for doing thanks tojono for doing that because it has a massive difference when you have a visible difference to talk about it, make clear that, despite people's kind of wrong ideas, that people can come through absolutely live full lives, and set themselves as a great example. telling his own story in his own words. n, ., ., telling his own story in his own words. ., ., ., , words. matt will have a look at this ima . e words. matt will have a look at this image with — words. matt will have a look at this image with us- _ words. matt will have a look at this image with us. cast _ words. matt will have a look at this image with us. cast your— words. matt will have a look at this image with us. cast your expert i

at eight o'clock. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. the eurovision song contest is known for its extravagant and over—the—top style, but did bbc news go over the top itself in reporting on the event? and was the launch of a new video game a genuine news event or an excuse for a promotional plug? first, the duke and duchess of sussex were back in the news on wednesday and, not for the first time, prompted a divided response among the audience. a spokesperson for the couple said they had experienced a near—catastrophic car chase in new york the previous night when being pursued by paparazzi. royal correspondent nicholas witchell gave his analysis to sophie raworth on the news at six. well, sophie, clearly something happened, something worrying and i'm sure alarming if you were at the centre of it.

i think the question is — was it really on the scale and of the seriousness as depicted in this, perhaps rather vivid and breathless statement from the sussexes' spokesman? a near catastrophic car chase, a relentless pursuit by a ring of paparazzi lasting for more than two hours. that doesn't appear to be being substantiated by what we are now starting to hear from the new york police department... some people thought the bbc was showing too much scepticism towards the sussexes and their version of events, with mirabelle accusing it of: but others had a different perspective with chris riches recording this video for us. hello, bbc. i wanted to talk on the sensationalist reporting of harry's alleged chase through new york this week. it seems to me that in the panic to report a story here, you've actually forgotten the bbc�*s editorial guidelines. if the story was about a near—death chase,

then where was the independent corroboration and where are the facts? but if the story is about reporting, harry saying something, then itjust seems like you are dancing to the tune of this attention seeker. come on, bbc. you can do better than that. well, we asked bbc news for their response to those contrasting views, and they told us the duke and duchess of sussex, are subjects of great interest to many of our audiences. last friday saw the launch of a new videogame made by nintendo.

the legend of zelda, tears of the kingdom, and its release featured on bbc one's news bulletins that day. around the world, fans have queued through the night to get their hands on zelda tears of the kingdom. i100% believe that this game is going to be like nothing anybody has ever seen. everyone's excited about it because it's, like, i how do you follow up, like, a masterpiece, basically? critically hailed as a work of art and with the previous zelda title grossing over a million pounds, financial and audience expectations, for tiers of the kingdom financial and audience expectations, tears of the kingdom are very high indeed. dawn canal was watching that and had this response.

we put that charge to bbc news and they told us: for its many fans, the eurovision song contest is an annual excuse to relish some extreme costumes, both on and off stage, bizarre dance routines and sometimes surreal lyrics. so, when the competition came to liverpool last week, there was much to look forward to for the devotees and there was a feature on the news bulletins for them to enjoy. welcome to liverpool and one word, as you can see, is everywhere. singing and on tuesday... # cha cha cha cha cha cha cha!

if glitter flags and nonstop finnish eurovision techno isn't your thing, be grateful you didn't book a seat in coaches d and e today. on wednesday... in the fan zone, the parties continued. fantastic. everyone's been so welcoming. colourful, vibrant. yeah. everybody's friendly. yeah, great atmosphere. and on thursday... a synth metal eurovision loving rock. you've told them, haven't you? on friday, jane hill co—presented the six and 10:00 news from liverpool. tonight at six, the party is under way here in liverpool on the eve of the eurovision song contest, hosting on behalf of ukraine. by saturday afternoon, the imminent start of the final was breaking news on the news channel. it's those two broadcasters working

together to deliver what is the best show on planet earth. how is it that you're not able to dance to a eurovision classic that is playing in the background? we are talking waterloo and abba here, and... that's better. ican dance! well, let's see if that sense of excitement was shared by two viewers who contacted us this week, mark bradbury and deborah bardsley. thank you both for coming on newswatch. 50, deborah, did all that coverage get you excited about eurovision? i'm sorry, but it didn't. there was so much all the time, that i actually got fed up with seeing that yet again there was another comment about eurovision when it hadn't happened. if i'd wanted to follow the actual programmes specifically aimed at it, they were available on bbc one, i could have chosen to go there, but it felt as though every news bulletin spent far too long concentrating on what was going to be happening. so, it wasn't even news. it was an event looming rather than real news

when there's so many other things happening in the uk and around the world. what were some of the other stories that you thought perhaps might have got neglected as a result? well, it was the fact that anything that seemed to be important, you didn't get it in the headlines. you really have to keep going back. i know i'm talking about a week ago now, and things have moved on, but there's always been problems in ukraine with russia knowing that there was the attention on eurovision, but also, the floods and other natural disasters that people needed needed to get the message out and we weren't hearing it. mark, i suppose people might say it was a big event, and to host it in liverpool, you know, and it is linked in its own way to the war in ukraine. was there not a news value in having all that coverage? well, there was some sense of having a news value. and it clearly showcase an event of this nature in uk.

and to support ukraine at the same time is probably a good thing. but i completely agree with deborah. i think that it was disproportionate to the amount of other international and national events which were going on and issues which we all face daily, and especially where breakfast news was concerned monday to friday, especially the lead—up to thursday and friday. i thought it was completely excessive and, to an extent, lazyjournalism. it's quite easyjust to give time to the events and not really pay attention to the bigger issues that are affecting us daily. and ijust think that it was disproportionate and excessive at times, and it created, in general, a news blackout with the amount of excessive time that was given to the subject. i'm going to read you both the statement that the bbc has given us in response to the many concerns we've had from viewers like yourselves. so, here it is.

deborah, first, what do you make of that response? well, i think i fully agree, having the coverage on bbc one of the semifinals and the finals, that's what's expected. but i didn't expect it to spill over onto the news channel, for instance. the day before, they spent 20 minutes or sojust talking to people who are there and saying, "are you excited?" well, i think they've chosen to go to liverpool. they were likely to be excited, but that wasn't the news. and it was the lead item at 7:00, i think it was about 20 minutes.

that is going above and beyond. and i think the statement highlights it, saying it's important for ukraine, eurovision and the bbc. i'm...ok, i could have gone elsewhere for the news, but i'm used to getting impartial bbc coverage... on bbc news channel, absolutely. thank you, deborah. mark, what about your thoughts on the bbc response? again, with the situation in ukraine and obviously the uk supporting ukraine and hosting the events of the competition and within the united kingdom was an opportunity, as i've already highlighted, to showcase what liverpool has got to offer to increase its economic output in terms of tourism and things of that nature. but, in essence, i think i can't recall a year when the eurovision song contest has taken so much front and centre out of the news topics of the day, and, as i have suggested before, created a real situation where there's been a news blackout.

and from my mind, i think eurovision has been a little bit tongue—in—cheek over the years. you've got very, very serious, very quickly highlighting the plight of the ukraine and that and i don't think it's a particularly balanced approach to things in general. can i thank you both, mark bradbury and deborah bardsley. thank you for coming on newswatch. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter at newswatch bbc. do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... the united states backs supplying fighterjets to ukraine for its war against russia — president zelensky says it's an historic decision. the announcement was made at the g7 summit injapan, and welcomed by international leaders including prime minister, rishi sunak. as a man in his thirties is killed in a dog attack near wigan, we'll speak to a leading expert in canine behaviour. it's a crucial weekend in the premier league, with four teams battling to avoid the final two relegation places.

tributes to the smiths bassist andy rourke who's died, the band's drummer mikejoyce says he was a musical genius. hejust put he just put the bass on and magic would happen. there will be plenty of strong sunshine in england and wales and scotland and northern ireland will hold on to the cloud with rain at times. i will have your full forecast right here on breakfast. it's saturday, 20th of may. our top story... in the last half hour, ukraine's president zelensky has landed injapan to meet world leaders at the g7 summit. his arrival comes after a decision by the united states to allow western allies to provide f—16 fighterjets to ukraine. prime minister rishi sunak has given his backing to the announcement. our diplomatic correspondentjames landale reports from kyiv.

this is a war of attrition, one where soldiers like these ukrainian servicemen near bakhmut sit in the trenches and fire mortars at russian positions. along front line that often don't move for months. president zelensky, who has visited a summit of arab leaders in saudi arabia knows what he thinks could and the relative stalemate, and he doesn't have enough of it. we do not have missiles as our enemy has, we have less air power. for months he has toured world capitals with a simple request. here he was at westminster in february, giving the speaker a pilot's helmet. on the helmet reads "we have freedom, give us wings to protect it." this is what he wants. f—16 fighter jets like these flown

by the polish air force. modern warplanes that could give ukraine greater control of the skies modern warplanes that could give ukraine greater control of the skies. some european countries are ready to give some of theirs to ukraine, but they are all made by the united states, and that means that president biden, who is at the g7 summit injapan, needs to give his permission first. he has been reluctant, fearing it could escalate the war, but now his officials say the us will help train ukrainian pilots, and will not stop european countries donating some f—16s. this comes after concerted pressure from european leaders, including rishi sunak, who earlier this week missed who earlier this week promised president zelensky to gather international support for getting ukraine the power it needed. but training pilots and delivering planes will take many, many months, so they are unlikely to play any role in ukraine's coming cou nteroffe nsive. but this decision sends a strong position to moscow that western allies are determined to support this country militarily for a long time to come. for now, though, in places

like bakhmut, the fighting continues, as both sides wait for ukrainian commanders to decide when to launch their long expected assault. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. james joins us now from kyiv. james, we know president zelensky has now arrived injapan — how will this news be received in ukraine? tell us what you have witnessed in the past 2a hours in terms of what is actually happening. the the past 24 hours in terms of what is actually happening.— the past 24 hours in terms of what is actually happening. the impact of this will be felt — is actually happening. the impact of this will be felt in _ is actually happening. the impact of this will be felt in the _ is actually happening. the impact of this will be felt in the long - is actually happening. the impact of this will be felt in the long term, i this will be felt in the long term, not the short term. it is going to take time to train those pilots, it will take time for countries to decide which aircraft should be given where, how and when. 50 i don't think we will see evidence of this quickly on the battlefield here in ukraine. but i think what we will see, though, isjust a continued sense and we will see this today

when president zelensky holds meetings with world leaders in japan, is it is part of that whole package of trying to send a very clear message to moscow that the western alliance remains resolute, and the western alliance will remain committed to supporting this country militarily for a long time. it is all part of a continuum. lastly, zelensky did a grand tour of european capitals, sending the same message. he will give the same message. he will give the same message at the g7. there is a big nato summit coming up in the next couple of months. it is all to convince moscow that the west is not going to go away. moscow is banking on something else. they are hoping that the west will fracture, that it will get tired, that it will no longer want to give military support. the aim of the decision that has been made is to try and counter that argument.- that has been made is to try and counter that argument. james, thank ou. we will talk to ourjapan

correspondent, who is also at the g7 summit in hiroshima shortly. votes in northern ireland's local elections are still being counted, with sinn fein making strong gains. at this rate the party is on course to replace the democratic unionists as the largest force in local government. our ireland correspondent chris page is at belfast city hall. chris, when will we know all the results? and these results to take time to come through, don't they? yes. come through, don't they? yes, that's right- _ come through, don't they? yes, that's right. official— come through, don't they? yes, that's right. official results i come through, don't they? 12:3 that's right. official results still to come for about one third of the 462 to come for about one third of the a62 council seats being contested, but the story of this election is becoming clear, and that is the surge of sinn fein. the irish republican party, whose ultimate aim is to take northern ireland out of the uk, andjoin it is to take northern ireland out of the uk, and join it with the republic of ireland. let's give you an idea of what some of the morning newspapers here in belfast as saying. "sinn fein on course to beat

largest party in councils". the telegraph, sinn fein in frame to top the poll. and the northern ireland edition of the daily mirror. so, the democratic unionist party looks set to slip into second place overall. however, its overall vote is holding up however, its overall vote is holding up quite steadily. what many people in northern ireland are asking about the outcome of these local government elections is what implications they could have for the future of the devolved government. the dup has been vetoing the formation of a power—sharing executive at stormont in effect the 15 months now, in protest against brexit trading arrangements for northern ireland. so the fact that sinn fein have been successful, that the dup 's vote is by and large remaining the same, compared with a few years ago, and that the likes of the cross community alliance party are making gains. there's been no

big breakthroughs for a more hardline unionist party, and this points to an increased likelihood that they could be a restoration of stormont in the coming months. another bit of history being made, lewis boyle is a northern ireland 's youngest ever elected representative at the age of 18. perfect preparation, you could say, for his politics a—level paper which he is sitting injust politics a—level paper which he is sitting in just a few days. iflhrifz�*v sitting in 'ust a few days. chris pa . e, sitting in just a few days. chris page. thank — sitting in just a few days. chris page, thank you. _ an hrt drug for women going through the menopause is being limited due to rising demand. pharmacists are being told to dispense only two months' worth of utrogestan. the order was issued by the department of health, which says it will ensure more women can continue to access the medication they need. protesters will take part in a mass paddle at 12 bathing spots across the uk today to demonstrate against the discharging of sewage into the sea. it comes after water companies in england apologised for repeated sewage spills, of which there were 300,000 last year.

nebraska has become the latest us state to ban abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, with limited exceptions. the bill also bans "gender—altering surgery", and restricts hormone therapy and puberty—blocking drugs for transgender people under 19. thousands of people did not vote in england's local elections as they didn't have the correct id. that's according to council data collected by the bbc. information from 160 of 230 councils where elections were held shows that 26,165 voters were denied ballot papers at polling stations. of these, 16,588 people later came back with id and could vote. but 9,577 did not return. our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now. leila, how significant are these numbers?

we have had a look at some of those numbers. ~ , ., , , ., numbers. why does this matter? good morning. _ numbers. why does this matter? good morning. well, _ numbers. why does this matter? good morning. well, these - numbers. why does this matter? i good morning. well, these figures give us the first indication, really, of the impact of this new requirement, to carry photo id to elections. things like a passport or driving licence. 0r elections. things like a passport or driving licence. or you could have applied for a special certificate. these local elections across england a couple of weeks ago with the first real test of this policy. when the government introduced this requirement, it said it was required to counter voterfraud. requirement, it said it was required to counter voter fraud. critics didn't think it was a good clay—macro problem and thought it would have the effect of preventing people who don't have the right id from voting. so now we are getting the first signs from councils who are starting to publish data on the numbers of people who have been turned away at those elections. as you say, around 10,000 people ultimately did not vote. some were turned away, came back with the right id, about10,000

turned away, came back with the right id, about 10,000 people did not end up voting. quite a small proportion of the total voter base, but ultimately still there were 10,000 odd people who made the effort to go out and vote and did not get to do it. really important to understand the impact of this new policy. the elections watchdog is going to publish its own analysis. these figures are not the complete picture, but really important for everyone to get across these new requirements because they are going to be in place at the next general election, which is expected next year. election, which is expected next ear. . ~' election, which is expected next ear. . ~ , ., year. thank you. we understand l year. thank you. i we understand that year. thank you. _ we understand that president zelensky has recently arrived in japan for the g7 summit. ourjapan correspondent shaimaa khalil is at the g7 summit in hiroshima. now ukraine is not a member of the g7, but the conversation is very much what is happening in ukraine in its war against russia. goad its war against russia. good morning. — its war against russia. good morning. yes- _ its war against russia. good morning, yes. it— its war against russia. good morning, yes. it is-

its war against russia. good morning, yes. it is not- its war against russia. good morning, yes. it is not a - its war against russia. good - morning, yes. it is not a member of the g7, but ukraine is at the heart of this summit. since it started, it has dominated the conversation here. the russian aggression against ukraine, and of course china as well. but now, i wasjust looking before i came to speak to you, i was looking at pictures of him arriving. he arrived on a french government plane. coming out of the plane really quickly, just enough time for us to see him, and then he got into a car. we have been seeing pictures of his convoy making way in hiroshima. we have also been hearing choppers hovering over us, which has to do with him travelling through hiroshima. this is a very significant moment for the ukrainian leader, and for the city of hiroshima. rememberthe leader, and for the city of hiroshima. remember the symbolism of having the g7 summit at hiroshima has been quite poignant. this is a city that knows first hand, has lived through the devastation of an atomic bomb at a time when there is atomic bomb at a time when there is a lot of nuclear rhetoric happening

with russia and its aggression against ukraine. of course, president zelensky arrives a happier leader because he has finally got what he wants in terms of air support. he has got a promise of f-16 support. he has got a promise of f—16jets, and the support. he has got a promise of f—16 jets, and the training support. he has got a promise of f—16jets, and the training of his ukrainian pilots. but he has a lot of conversations here. he will stand on the world stage and make a stand and tell the side of his country, but also again, ask for more pledges of sustained support. he might also be meeting the indian premier list and that will be an interesting meeting because, of course, he is another big leader, but he stands on the opposite side when it comes to russia. india has maintained a very strong relationships with russia. it continues to bite russian oil. so it'll be interesting to see how those two leaders communicate and what they agree on.—

saturday morning. maybe you are out doing stuff today, in which case matt will have news for you. is that the picture you are painting for us today? is it going to be warm? a bit ofa a bit of a split today, but if you are outside, some strong sunshine so do get the sun came out. that's the story for much of england and way, even after the mist and fog this morning. but scotland and northern ireland will have more clout, but even here a bit of brightness at times. you can see this on our weather watcher shot this morning. a lovely day for a day by the beach. evenif lovely day for a day by the beach. even if the sea is on the chilly side. even chilly at the other side of the country in north—east scotland. even with the cloud in place, you can see there are breaks and there will be glimmers of brightness. you can see the view from space. this is an area of cloud which will bring more intense rain

across italy, sardinia and this is a strip of cloud which is meaning a great start across much of scotland and northern ireland. close guys for england and will end the mist and fog will continue to clear over the next few hours. patchy cloud across southern counties through today, and a breeze coming off the north sea. for most it will be a day of sunshine. some brighter breaks in scotland and northern ireland. the drizzle in the north dampens down uv levels, but high uv levels for the vast majority of england and wales through today. temperatures around 21 celsius across western areas. cool it down the eastern coast, and cooler weather cloud is in scotland and northern ireland. tonight, the cloud thickens up and rain will become heavy at times and more widespread than this morning. keeping the temperatures up.

temperatures in double figures, but a chilly start to tomorrow morning for england and wales. not as much mist and fog tomorrow, although we will see more cloud towards the south—east corner. they could be a few patches of sea fog towards north sea coast later. scotland and northern ireland, outbreaks of rain to begin with, becoming lighter and catchier through the day. more sunshine to the north and west as we go into tomorrow afternoon. temperatures generally around the low to mid—teens, but for england and wales, highest in the west. so, your weekend is a bit of spit. it will even out more into monday with high pressure building on. a week where still close to scotland and northern ireland, so always the chance of a future i was there but that will be well broken cloud at times, so a bit more sunshine. breezes through east anglia and the south—east. temperature is in wales and the south—west should creep up a little bit more. this week if you do

have any plans with high pressure very close by throughout, the emphasis is on dry weather. so we finish what has been a pretty dull and wet spring for many parts of england and wales especially, but certainly sunshine more widespread withjust a touch certainly sunshine more widespread with just a touch of rain in the far north of scotland. police are continuing to investigate a dog attack near wigan in which a 37—year—old man —jonathan hogg — died. jonathan hogg — who was described by his family as sensitive and kind — died on thursday night. the incident reflects a growing number of fatal dog attacks, which happened around three times a year in england and wales for most of the last decade. that number shot up to ten fatal attacks last year. and there have been at least four fatal maulings so far in 2023. the attack in leigh follows incidents in caterham,

milton keynes and derby. we're joined now by dog behaviour specialist colin tennant. this is a tragedy that has happened to one family, isn't it? yes. this is a tragedy that has happened to one family, isn't it?— to one family, isn't it? yes. i have soken to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about _ to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about this _ to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about this in _ to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about this in the _ to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about this in the last - to one family, isn't it? yes. i have spoken about this in the last 12 - spoken about this in the last 12 months quite a lot on different types of media, and it is worrying to canine and animal behaviourist that work all over britain. we deal with dogs which are aggressive, and yes, it is very concerning. it is bad for the image of dogs and most of us love dogs, but it is specifically from one core of people, and that's the issue, in my view. , . . . people, and that's the issue, in my view. , , ., ., people, and that's the issue, in my view. , ,., .,, view. just explain to people, because to _ view. just explain to people, because to do _ view. just explain to people, because to do with _ view. just explain to people, because to do with your - view. just explain to people, | because to do with your role, view. just explain to people, - because to do with your role, you are in court, are you not, sometimes? you have seen first—hand the stories we are talking about,

term, there are various crosses. it is to do with culture, image, and the dog, unfortunately, our beautiful dogs, arejust the dog, unfortunately, our beautiful dogs, are just an accessory for them to propel their masculinity, however you want to describe it. onto other people by having a large dog that come in their view, having a large dog that come in theirview, is having a large dog that come in their view, is aggressive. they go out of their way to make the dog is aggressive. so as an example, when we all get puppies, we tend to go to training classes where we learned the bassists, and so forth. 0r training classes where we learned the bassists, and so forth. or we have trained the dogs ourselves —— matt learned the basics. this group of people don't do that. they don't want the dogs to be sociable. by the time the dogs get to six months, they have missed out on the critical window of socialisation with people and dogs. unfortunately, that can't be learned so well later on. but in

the image, they want a dog... when i am learning the mag are working in london, i see them pulling on leaves, these big glorified harnesses, they want people to see them with this big dog. it is an accessory like a knife, you know. the bigger the knife that they carry. you know, the more glamorous the car that they are driving. unfortunately, dogs are just another accessory. but then, when these dogs are sold, or they can't manage them, they often then sell them to other people, who don't know the history and then suddenly we have an attack, like the child in milton keynes. colin, help us with this. a lot of people will see the imagery, and they will think they have seen the people and the dogs you are talking about. but in the same breath, they have done nothing wrong, according to the law, have they? they bought a dog. the breed is not banned, so

what can you do to preclude the owners you are talking about having a dog like that, and not treating the dog properly in order to avoid these things happening? 14541431111. the dog properly in order to avoid these things happening? well, first of all, if these things happening? well, first of all. if you — these things happening? well, first of all, if you take _ these things happening? well, first of all, if you take a _ these things happening? well, first of all, if you take a dog _ these things happening? well, first of all, if you take a dog of- of all, if you take a dog of somebody else, you are still under the dangerous dogs act responsible as the keeper or the owner, so you could still be prosecuted even if you have only had a dog for one hour. you are still responsible in law. with regards to how you prevent it, this is the million dollar question. i have given up saying education because of this group of people, who own these type of dogs, are not interested in education. they are interested in their image amongst their social group. they want something that is aggressive, or appears aggressive. i want something that is aggressive, orappears aggressive. i mean, want something that is aggressive, or appears aggressive. i mean, they

don't... labradors. they don't. .. labradors. they specifically don't... labradors. they specifically choose... it originally came from america with the rap culture, rappers with these big bull breeds and all the jewelry. that's when it came into britain. it is a status symbol.— when it came into britain. it is a status symbol. can i 'ust make the oint, ou status symbol. can i 'ust make the point. you know. — status symbol. can ijust make the point, you know, there _ status symbol. can ijust make the point, you know, there will- status symbol. can ijust make the point, you know, there will be - point, you know, there will be people may be watching you right now who are responsible owners of the kind of breeds you are talking about, he will be thinking, you can own these dogs, you can own them they can be trained properly, and thatis they can be trained properly, and that is also a reality. the two things can be true, can't they? fit things can be true, can't they? of course. in the 80s and 90s, i trained well over 150 bull breeds in central london, in regent's park, primrose hill, hyde park, and it was so rare to hear somebody saying a staffordshire bull terrier had attacked a person or a dog. it was

unheard of. these are the same dogs. there are some modifications taking place over the time period, and the big differences is the type of owner who is buying the dog, so the person who is buying the dog, so the person who is buying the dog is different, and they are now selectively and unnaturally reading from dogs that they deem a more aggressive, more cognitions, more offensive and that was not done in the 805, 90s, cognitions, more offensive and that was not done in the 805, 905, 2000. that is being done now. we call them back yard breeders. of course, if you go round britain, most of the staffordshire terriers you see are owned, dare i use the word, by normal people and they are not aggressive, they are nice dogs. often, bull breeds are one of the most sensitive dogs with people. colin, given your level of expertise, can i have one last thought. sometimes when you hear these stories, and we're not talking about any specific incidents because

we don't know the details of this latest incident, but people often say my dog has never done this before. you know, it has always been lovely around people and this has never happened before. and then something happens. i never happened before. and then something happens.— something happens. i have read dozens of statements _ something happens. i have read dozens of statements with - something happens. i have read dozens of statements with that l something happens. i have read i dozens of statements with that on, but i've never found dozens of statements with that on, but i've neverfound it dozens of statements with that on, but i've never found it to dozens of statements with that on, but i've neverfound it to be dozens of statements with that on, but i've never found it to be true. i have investigated notjust the court issues, but probably 2000 cases of dog bites on family members. not necessarily serious bites but dog aggression, and the one line people tell me in canine behaviour consultations is, he has never done this before. but when i start asking questions, there is always a timeline where the dog, by increment, becomes more aggressive. the only court the behaviourist comes in for is when a serious bite takes place. the dog might be growling when people come to the

house all witness a new arrival and they think the dog will get used to it. so there is an increment of displays of aggression which gives them ample opportunity to seek help. the majority of people do seek help and they do contact one of the canine behaviour associations, and we do remedy it. we can put the dog on a programme. but again, going back to this group of people, they are the antithesis of that. they don't want any help. they do want the dog to become more aggressive. they want the dog as a threat. that's what they want. 0k, it has been interesting talking to you. colin, chairman of the canine and fee nine behaviour association. —— mike phelan. time now for another story. the bbc�*s "we were there" is

a series of interviews with veterans of the second world — and today it's100—year—old eddie brown from bromsgrove, (in vision)eddie was a despatch rider who took part in the d—day landings in normandy. but, as you'll hear, this is definitely a story that's more about love than war.

the bbc are trying to preserve as many of these stories as possible. it's extraordinary to hear from these first—hand accounts. if you are watching this morning, maybe it's a family friend, a relative, someone with a tail to tail. you can e—mail us or get in touch. these

stories are remarkable. can ijust say. , he is 100 years old! he didn't look that age, did he? he looks amazing. the time there was 830 am. being a trainee nurse has never been easy. there's a lot to learn and all sorts of highs and lows to deal with. entering the profession in the last few years — after the pandemic and during an industrial dispute — must have been even tougher. a new bbc documentary has followed seven newly qualified nurses in hospitals across mid and west wales. before we speak to three of them, let's see a clip. i'm about to go and pick up my first ever blue uniform. i'm very excited. hopefully i'll be able to get it. it's been a tough few years.

leeds fans could be singing heaven knows i'm miserable now. the game this evening between nottingham forest and arsenal is huge. it would hand manchester city the title nottingham forest's premier league fate is in their own hands. title they are two places and three points clear of the relegation zone ahead of their penultimate match — at home to second place arsenal.. if we are thinking about what—ifs and other things beyond being at our best on saturday then we won't be at our best and there are other things that can happen with the level of team that arsenal are. so that can happen with the level of team that arsenal are.— team that arsenal are. so the attitude and _ team that arsenal are. so the attitude and the _ team that arsenal are. so the attitude and the atmosphere l team that arsenal are. so the l attitude and the atmosphere in training has been very good, very

scottie scheffler, vik—tor hovland and corey conners, share the lead at five under par in rochester, upstate new york. but how about callum tarren? in his third ever major, the darlington man is tied sixth, just three shots off the lead. he was tied 31st at the us open in 2022 and missed the cut in 2019. he's the highest british player on the leaderboard heading into the third round. justin rose could have been right up at the top. he started with three birdies across, his first seven holes, but he followed that up, with three bogies to finish the second round, on one under par overall, four shots off the lead. historically, i've one on hard golf courses are not so it fits my profile from that point of view and, yeah, this is right up there. it feels like a bit of a hybrid pga— us open but i'm looking forward to the test. he open but i'm looking forward to the test. ., , ., open but i'm looking forward to the test. ._ ., ., , ., test. he may have fell off a little bit there because _ test. he may have fell off a little bit there because of _ test. he may have fell off a little bit there because of the - test. he may have fell off a little bit there because of the light - test. he may have fell off a little| bit there because of the light last night. he's carrying a little picture of his daughter around but

doing so well. the highest placed british player at the moment. looking over your shoulder, i'm not a weatherman that this looks like whenever golf light winds. good morning, let's take a quick look at what's happening out there. weather watchers from this morning really tell the tale. cloud breaking up, blue skies, scotland and ireland in plockton in the highlands, a grey day but there are hints of brightness and that will be the case for scotland and northern ireland. patchy rain. more rain arriving into the west later on. mr and falk on its way. cooler along the north sea coast. 21 celsius. coolerfor

scotland and northern ireland yesterday because of that cloud around. latertonight, heavier rain lingering but this will start to fizzle. a bit more cloud towards the south—east but here a chilly night, temperatures 3—5 c compared to double figures for scotland and northern ireland. your sunday forecast, fairly cloudy with outbreaks of rain, places becoming drier and much brighter day towards the north and the west. much of england and wales has strong sunshine, even if there is a little bit more cloud to the south and east. highest tomorrow, down towards the south—west and wales and western parts of england, 20—21 c. the outlook is looking bright. high—pressure dominating for the vast majority. matt, thank you. nine

minutes to nine is the time. nine year old isaac is no stranger to fundraising. in the last two years he's raised thousands of pounds for charity. he's walked from his home in merseyside to old trafford. that's around 25 miles. he topped that up by another 30 miles walking from old trafford to alder hey children's hospital in a seperate challenge. and now he wants to raise £100—thousand, for the oliver king foundation, by sitting in as many seats as he can at everton's stadium which has 39,414 seats. we can now speak to isaac, his dad chris and to mark king before they set off to goodison park. good morning. lovely to see you all.

for months he has toured world capitals with a simple request. here he was at westminster in february, giving the speaker a pilot's helmet. on the helmet reads, "we have freedom, give us wings to protect it." this is what he wants. f—16 fighter jets like these flown by the polish air force. modern warplanes that could give ukraine greater control of the skies. some european countries are ready to give some of theirs to ukraine, but they are all made by the united states, and that means that president biden, who is at the g7 summit injapan, needs to give his permission first. he has been reluctant, fearing it could escalate the war, but now his officials say the us will help train ukrainian pilots, and will not stop european countries donating some f—165. this comes after concerted pressure from european leaders, including rishi sunak, who earlier this week promised president zelensky to gather

international support for getting ukraine the power it needed. but training pilots and delivering planes will take many, many months, so they are unlikely to play any role in ukraine's coming cou nteroffe nsive. but this decision sends a strong position to moscow that western allies are determined to support this country militarily for a long time to come. for now, though, in places like bakhmut, the fighting continues, as both sides wait for ukrainian commanders to decide when to launch their long expected assault. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. chris mason is in hiroshima for us. good morning to you. i suppose what is so interesting isn't it, once upon a time we would be looking at international policies, bigger thoughts and not so many specific

announcements at the g7 summit. ukraine is not even a member, but it is such a focus for this summit. it really is, yes. that moment in the last hour or two of the plane arriving, carrying the ukrainian president, a real sense of anticipation hear of his arrival, following that announcement a few hours before, around the provision of f-i6 hours before, around the provision of f—16 fighter hours before, around the provision of f—16fighterjets, and crucially in the first instance, the training of ukrainian pilots on those jets, something that, as we saw that in that report, the ukrainian president has been calling for the months and months. he encountered some reticence from some in the west, fearing it could escalate the conflict, could draw russia into a more aggressive stance, and there was also a concern about the practicalities. the training of those pilots taking months, and there is still that expectation, that that will be the case. but, nonetheless, quite a moment. as you say, this is a diplomatic triumph

for ukraine, securing something it has been calling for, at least the next stage of that. we can expect the ukrainian president due to the various leaders here and i think we can expect him to see the british prime minister whilst this summit is going on. they saw each otherjust the other day at chequers in buckinghamshire, and we get a sense of this coming choreography on the international stage. of this coming choreography on the internationalstage. it of this coming choreography on the international stage. it was just the other day in iceland when the council of europe was meeting and the prime minister was there, the dutch prime minister was also there and they talked about assembling this coalition, trying to provide these f—16 planes and qualified pilots to fly them. so quite a moment for ukraine and quite a moment for ukraine and quite a moment for ukraine and quite a moment for the g7, too. indeed, and let's not forget. _ moment for the g7, too. indeed, and let's not forget, this _ moment for the g7, too. indeed, and let's not forget, this is _ moment for the g7, too. indeed, and let's not forget, this is a _ moment for the g7, too. indeed, and let's not forget, this is a chance i let's not forget, this is a chance for leaders to come together. there has been not entire unity in the eu when it comes to how to deal with

ukraine, and what can be provided. i know rishi sunak has been talking to his french counterpart.— his french counterpart. that's ri . ht, his french counterpart. that's right. that — his french counterpart. that's right, that happened - his french counterpart. that's right, that happened in i his french counterpart. that's right, that happened in the i his french counterpart. that's i right, that happened in the last couple of hours. yes, at these international summits you do get differences of emphasis, or downright disagreements, but you often get difference of emphasis when it comes to any of the big issues. then they attempt in their conversations, and then the readouts as they are known that we are given afterwards, to give a sense of where they have managed to come together and agree. a meeting of the last couple of hours involving president macron and rishi sunak, and a sense from downing street in the last 15 minutes of what came out of that. a sense, they say, of a g7 unity of purpose as it was described over ukraine, talking about the military aid that the two countries have provided to kyiv, and the longer term security assistance as well. as you say, gathering here, yes it is a

talking shop but senior leaders do need to do that as points in the year, and talking about various issues. artificial intelligence has also been on the agenda. but i think we can expect in the final 2a hours of this summit this weekend for ukraine to dominate, as we see president zelensky during the various leaders delegations and no doubt appearing alongside all of them for what is known as a family photograph by all the leaders get together, because that is the image, the g7 collectively wants to send to moscow. one of resolve and determination, and a sense that ukraine 's allies are in this for the long haul. chris, thank you. votes in northern ireland's local elections are still being counted — with sinn fein making strong gains.

at this rate the party is on course to replace the democratic unionists as the largest force in local government. our ireland correspondent chris page is at belfast city hall. so, a picture is emerging, but it is not the complete picture.— not the complete picture. that's rirht. not the complete picture. that's right- 462 _ not the complete picture. that's right. 462 seats _ not the complete picture. that's right. 462 seats are _ not the complete picture. that's right. 462 seats are being i not the complete picture. that's i right. 462 seats are being counted across northern ireland. about a third of them are yet to have the result officially declared. but the picture is becoming clear, and the story of the selection is the surge of sinn fein, the irish republican party whose ultimate aim is to take northern ireland out of the united kingdom and join it with the republic of ireland. lemme give you an idea of what the morning newspapers here in belfast are saying. the irish news, "sinn fein on course to become largest party".

the belfast telegraph, sinn fein in frame to top the poll. and the northern ireland edition of the daily mirror. so, the democratic unionist party look as if they are going to be slipping from first place overall into second place. that said, their vote generally holding up and they are not suffering significant losses. what many people in northern ireland have been asking is what this local government election could mean for the future of the devolved government. the dup has been vetoing the formation of a power—sharing executive at stormont for the last 15 months, in protest at post—brexit trading arrangements. the dup leader, sirjeffrey donaldson, has spoken over the last few weeks because he is working with the british government to deal with unionist concerns, so it is thought that the fact there has not been a breakthrough for more hardline unionist may have increased the possibility that stormont may return over the coming months. an hrt drug for women going through the menopause is being limited due

to rising demand. pharmacists are being told to dispense only two months' worth of utrogestan capsules. the order was issued by the department of health, which says it will ensure more women can continue to access the medication they need. protesters will take part in a mass paddle at 12 bathing spots across the uk today to demonstrate against the discharging of sewage into the sea. it comes after water companies in england apologised for repeated sewage spills, of which there were 300,000 last year. parts of northern italy are on high alert for landslides after heavy rain and floods, which have already left 14 dead and thousands homeless. in more remote villages, some residents are running out of food and drinking water, with aid workers unable to reach them. the italian government has called a crisis meeting, which will take place on tuesday. thousands of people did not vote in england's local elections as they didn't have the correct id.

that's according to council data collected by the bbc. information from 160 of 230 councils where elections were held shows that more than 26,000 voters were denied ballot papers at polling stations. of these, around 16,500 people came back later with an id and could vote. but, more than 9,500 did not return. our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now. there was a lot of talk about where the voter id was needed before the selections, so what do these numbers now tell us?— now tell us? good morning. it's important _ now tell us? good morning. it's important to — now tell us? good morning. it's important to say _ now tell us? good morning. it's important to say that _ now tell us? good morning. it's important to say that these i now tell us? good morning. it's i important to say that these figures are just the first indication of the impact of this new policy. remember, there is now a requirement for voters to produce a photographic id at elections, things like a passport or driving licence, or a special voting certificate. as you say, there was discussion about whether this policy was needed. the government said it was needed to

prevent voter fraud, but a lot of critics said that was not really a big issue, and actually it would have the effect of excluding people and preventing people who did not carry the right id on the day from voting. so what we're getting now we are starting to build a picture of what happened. councils are publishing data about the numbers of people who were turned away from polling stations at the local elections, which took place across england a couple of weeks ago. we have got a picture from about two thirds of councils and ultimately they show around 10,000 people did not end up voting stock more turned up not end up voting stock more turned up without their id, then went away, some went away got the right id and came back, but about 10,000 ultimately did not end up voting. it is quite a small proportion of the total voter base, although there are thousands of people who did want to vote and did make the effort, but ultimately did not get the chance to. it's important to say again, it is not a complete picture because the elections watchdog is going to publish its own analysis next month.

it's important to understand the impact of this new requirement, and important for everyone to realise that this will be in place at the next general election, so remember to carry your voter id when you go to carry your voter id when you go to the polls. to carry your voter id when you go to the polls-— to the polls. thank you. we were talkinr a to the polls. thank you. we were talking a moment _ to the polls. thank you. we were talking a moment ago _ to the polls. thank you. we were talking a moment ago about i to the polls. thank you. we were i talking a moment ago about problems in italy and we can see the picture behind you. there are warnings today about potential landslides, caused by the flooding. real about potential landslides, caused by the flooding-— by the flooding. real problems there. indeed. _ by the flooding. real problems there. indeed. it— by the flooding. real problems there. indeed. it has _ by the flooding. real problems there. indeed. it has been i by the flooding. real problems there. indeed. it has been a i by the flooding. real problems i there. indeed. it has been a torrid week for the country. this picture was from the region where we saw the worst of the flooding earlier in the week. but you can see elsewhere, the rainfall totals for the map shows other areas could be hit by flash flooding. also in towards sicily. it is part of eastern sardinia and

north—west italy where the greatest concerns are and rainfall totals have been totting up giving an increased risk of flash flooding. this follows extreme drought, all hallmarks of a changing climate. it stays away from us and for us at high pressure generally dominates. a bit of a split this weekend. the sunniest weather for england and wales, and more clout for scotland and northern ireland and here there will be a bit of rain at times. the waiters conditions tonight. some drizzle around at the moment in northern and eastern scotland and northern ireland. they will be heavier showers into the west later. the cloud will be thin enough in places to allow some hazy sunshine. the clearest of the skies, the strong of the sunshine with high uv levels will be across england and wales, a bit of patchy cloud drifting across the south. the morning mist and fog is clearing away, and whether some shines and we will see the highest images,

especially in the west of england and wales which will be sheltered from the breeze. scotland and northern ireland will be cooler today compared with yesterday. the cloud here thickens tonight and the waiters conditions will be overnight. outbreaks of rain becoming heavy for a time, and then fizzling into the morning. it will keep temperatures up in scotland and northern ireland in double figures for many, but england and whilst tonight, rural parts could be down tonight, rural parts could be down to 3-5 c. tonight, rural parts could be down to 3—5 c. another sunny day tomorrow, more clout towards the south—east corner, but that will drift across southern counties through the day. scotland and northern ireland starts with outbreaks of rain but many places becoming dry and sunny to the far north and west. damages like today in the low to mid—teens here, and warmest in western parts of england and wales where temperatures could reach 22 celsius. next week, high pressure stays in charge so most places away from the north of scotland will be dry with plenty of sunshine. great weather to generate

solar power, and if ijust returned back to the mediterranean and spain, through this past week on tuesday, 100% of the entire electricity amount for the country was met from amount for the country was met from a combination of all those renewable energies, including solar. in fact, there was more generated than they needed, and that lasted for nine hours. ourtrend needed, and that lasted for nine hours. our trend to renewable energy is on the right direction. yes. hours. our trend to renewable energy is on the right direction.— is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. _ is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. it _ is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. it is _ is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. it is useful i is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. it is useful it i is on the right direction. yes, at least in spain. it is useful it can | least in spain. it is useful it can happen, because often in the uk it feels like an ambition that is so far away to achieve. find feels like an ambition that is so far away to achieve.— feels like an ambition that is so far away to achieve. and they are caettin far away to achieve. and they are getting ever _ far away to achieve. and they are getting ever closer _ far away to achieve. and they are getting ever closer with - far away to achieve. and they are getting ever closer with each - getting ever closer with each passing month.— getting ever closer with each passing month. everyone is familiar with what a wind turbine looks like, and the idea was that if they are constructed, if they are in place, they can produce clean and cheap electricity. planning restrictions were then tightened, and a number of new

schemes did full significant league, but now the government has new plans to encourage communities to consider a wind turbine, including the promise of cuts in their bills. the blades of this wind farm are churning out enough green energy for more than 3000 homes. but schemes like this one are no longer being built after the planning system was tightened in 2016, and continues to restrict development.— tightened in 2016, and continues to restrict development. there are two restrictions- — restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, _ restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, an _ restrict development. there are two restrictions. firstly, an onshore - restrictions. firstly, an onshore wind farm has to be located in an area that has been identified as suitable for onshore wind, in a local planning policy document. even if you are able to do that, there is also a second requirement of community backing, and the wording of that requirement is extremely difficult to achieve. to encourage more land-based _ difficult to achieve. to encourage more land-based turbines, - difficult to achieve. to encourage more land-based turbines, the l more land—based turbines, the government has some new ideas.

communities that host a turbine could get a share of its profits. they could be cut—price energy schemes in return for turbines being built. and, new community facilities, such as sports clubs and electric car charging points. here in sandton, the community is already benefiting from these incentives. over the 25 year life span of this wind farm, special grants of more than £1 million will be paid out. derek shows me the village hall, built with turbine money. in fact, the parish council is almost running out of ideas of how to spend it all. there is some underspent money at the moment, and they are encouraging small groups to ask for money. i think they should grab it with both hands. i think eventually residents will benefit by the wind farm as much as, you know, the energy groups will be giving local people discount

it is the trade association for the renewable energy industry. good morning to you. how many are being built at the moment? in morning to you. how many are being built at the moment?— morning to you. how many are being built at the moment? in england, we have seen two _ built at the moment? in england, we have seen two installed _ built at the moment? in england, we have seen two installed last - built at the moment? in england, we have seen two installed last year. - have seen two installed last year. just two small wind turbines. that's thanks to these quite draconian planning restrictions that are in place. how many this year? this year there is currently one that i'm aware of under construction in england. that is a community wind turbine project in bristol that has taken seven years to get through planning, and is providing power to a local housing div element. so what is the problem? in 2015 planning regulations were changed to essentially exempt onshore wind from being constructed in england. this is one footnote within planning which has basically said that they put such huge restrictions that effectively one person objecting can

kill a project off in england. the? kill a pro'ect off in england. they didn't kill a project off in england. they didn't say no _ kill a project off in england. they didn't say no more _ kill a project off in england. they didn't say no more onshore wind turbines, itjust made it more difficult? turbines, it 'ust made it more difficult? , ., difficult? exactly, and you can't really compare _ difficult? exactly, and you can't really compare it _ difficult? exactly, and you can't really compare it to _ difficult? exactly, and you can't really compare it to any - difficult? exactly, and you can't really compare it to any other l really compare it to any other infrastructure, that one person would be able to kill a project like that. it is literally one small footnote in planning guidance on page 48. the footnote in planning guidance on -ae~ 48. , , footnote in planning guidance on .ae. 48, , , ., , page 48. the flip side of this argument. — page 48. the flip side of this argument, and _ page 48. the flip side of this argument, and you - page 48. the flip side of this argument, and you are - page 48. the flip side of this argument, and you are here| argument, and you are here representing the industry, of course, so you are on that side. you just said draconian planning restrictions. planning restrictions exist because people, local authorities or whatever, put them in place because that is what people want. they want things restricted. so who are you to come in and say, just because you don't want them here, we think they should go there. why should you be the people determining what goes up outside someone's window, in their community? 50 someone's window, in their community?— someone's window, in their communi ? , , community? so this is planning restrictions. _ community? so this is planning restrictions. this _ community? so this is planning

planning process works. we are not asking for special treatment. we actually asking to put through the planning procedure in the planning system and just as any other infrastructure would be, to remove this footnote. i5 infrastructure would be, to remove this footnote. is it infrastructure would be, to remove this footnote.— this footnote. is it like any other infrastructure _ this footnote. is it like any other infrastructure though _ this footnote. is it like any other infrastructure though question i this footnote. is it like any other. infrastructure though question that this is the concern, is on to question what they do make noise. they are big. and there are very few things that they look like, you know, to meld into the community. so they are very different. it's like comparing oranges with apples, isn't it? �* , ., comparing oranges with apples, isn't it? �* a, a, , it? but if you look at what this infrastructure _ it? but if you look at what this infrastructure can _ it? but if you look at what this infrastructure can offer, - it? but if you look at what this| infrastructure can offer, there's it? but if you look at what this i infrastructure can offer, there's a report recently that suggests that the impact of this eight—year ban has had a £5.1 billion impact each year on british bill payers, that's £182 per household. we are missing out on community benefits. this

infrastructure that benefits communities, pays into community funding. it is also infrastructure at a time of a climate emergency, as well as spiralling energy costs and it could help to bring down those costs. it can also help local authorities, many of whom had declared climate emergencies but do not have one of the tools available to them to reduce their carbon impact. ihla to them to reduce their carbon im act. ., ., , , impact. no one will deny the benefit of wind power- _ impact. no one will deny the benefit of wind power. it's _ impact. no one will deny the benefit of wind power. it's pretty _ of wind power. it's pretty difficult. but you can't account for people, can you? this is the problem. so what is the way forward? what is the government proposing now, because there was a flurry of activity in 2015 when there were more being built, so what is the government now doing to encourage that again? 50. government now doing to encourage thataaain? government now doing to encourage that auain? _, ., that again? so, the covenant recently announced, - that again? so, the covenant recently announced, and - that again? so, the covenantl recently announced, and rishi that again? so, the covenant - recently announced, and rishi sunak announced in december that onshore wind would be coming back. unfortunately, that has not changed planning all that much. they have done a consultation, which has tried to change some of the planning

guidance that we have, and instead of removing this footnote and allowing it to go through the normal planning procedure, it has now added to footnote. so we are now in a situation where there is even more uncertainty. it is difficult to kick—start an industry from a standing start, promote investment. to be honest, it is heartbreaking for me because when that was announced, i have had farmers, local businesses, local factories, announced, i have had farmers, local businesses, localfactories, local community groups get in touch with us to say brilliant, can we have a wind farm and i had to go back and say, i'm sorry it doesn't look like the planning changes are going to make any difference to being able to provide you with a wind turbine that will help you control your energy costs. , , ., , costs. the numbers are interesting but we are — costs. the numbers are interesting but we are tight _ costs. the numbers are interesting but we are tight for _ costs. the numbers are interesting but we are tight for time. - costs. the numbers are interesting but we are tight for time. did - costs. the numbers are interesting but we are tight for time. did you | but we are tight for time. did you say there is only currently one actively being built? in england. yes, riaht actively being built? in england. yes. right now _ actively being built? in england. yes, right now there _ actively being built? in england. yes, right now there is - actively being built? in england. yes, right now there is one - actively being built? in england. | yes, right now there is one under construction. yes, right now there is one under construction-— construction. really interesting talkin: to construction. really interesting talking to you. _ construction. really interesting talking to you, thank— construction. really interesting talking to you, thank you - construction. really interesting talking to you, thank you for i construction. really interesting l talking to you, thank you for your time.

harbour and plenty of places for entertainment, so is it any wonder that the first modern humans in west europe and the first settlers in britain lived here? these unique caves they once called home have now come up for sale, and this is very unlike any other property on the market. formed over 2 million years ago from devon limestone, deep under the sea, rain water seeped into gaps in the rock, creating holes, that got larger and larger, to reveal their stunning interior. down here, we are going to see the skull of the cave bear, which has been here for the last 420,000 years. owner nick powell is the fifth generation of his family to run the site, but mankind's connection to their space goes way back. so we know that modern people were here a long time ago in the stone age, and i've got

here a replica of a jawbone that was founded in 1926. we now know that it's about 41,000 years old. so we've got evidence of human occupation in this one space over the last half a million years first. that's what makes the cavern special. this has been dubbed as britain because my coldest home. there is evidence of humans having lived here more than half a million years ago. it's been in the ownership of the same family for over a century but now it's up for sale, and it could be entering a new stage in its history. nick's great, great grandfather george smeardon was a foreman in a pioneering excavation in the 1800s. it unveiled bones from extinct animals and ancient tools, some from over 500,000 years ago. and this is nick's great grandfather, francis powell. he bought the caves in 1953 and opened them up for the public to visit. it is very difficult decision

but there is no that my great grandfather created something amazing. my grandfather continued that, my father brought it forward and we have taken it to another level, and it will be nice to see somebody else doing it, itjust won't be a member of ourfamily. plenty of period features. minimalist space. plenty of history. nice, constant temperature, 14 degrees. estate agent matt bettisworth has the job of selling the caves. we normally sell commercial and residential property, but we certainly haven't sold any caves before. it is very unusual. it is a challenging time for tourism and hospitality. how difficult will it be to sell something like this? yes, there are some short—term challenges in the hospitality

industry but anyone looking at this business, it is year—round, it is where it's independent. anyone looking at the caves will be taking a longer term view. you can see it is about the size of my torch. so is anyone on today's tour tempted to put an offer in? £2.5 million? it sounds quite cheap. i think if i had 2.5 million— i would spend it on something else. i am an ex estate agents i can tell you i think we will struggle to sell this one! but has all its original features... minimalist? definitely. at the right price, everything sells, so yeah. if prospective buyers are not sold on the history and heritage of the site, the estate agent is keen to point out that kent cabin is in a desirable suburb of torquay, within walking distance of local beaches in the town centre. jenny kumar, bbc news. beautiful views, as always. mike, beautifulviews, as always. mike, in all sorts of sports, there are decisive moments going on. we have

joe lynskey reports. there are two games left to play and for four teams at the bottom it's football on a tightrope. two of them willjoin southampton and fall down to the second tier. it's tense and it's tight. right now everton are just above the dotted line. they play first this weekend at wolves. by monday, everton could be safe or could be sinking, but their coach won't look at permutations. i don't stare at the league, you know. i stare at the performances or stare at the group. i stare at the prep or stare at the strategy or, you know, stare at all these things. it's not about the league table at this stage. of course, we all debate it. we all look at it during the season. of course we do. but the one at the end of the season, that's the most important. that's the one we're looking to be over the line. this year, leeds have lurched through three different managers. for sam allardyce now it's game three of his rescue project. last week they drew with newcastle, but leeds missed a penalty. now they may see opportunity.

they go to west ham on sunday who've just reached a european final. after their big night, they'll run in to big sam. ijust said we been probably 60%, 65% sure we'd stay up if we won that game. and now we've got to go and win at west ham. time is running out and errors will be punished in the premier league and we have to limit those errors. so what we have to do is test west ham to see where they are. see whether there's any legacy from the game on thursday night and try and take advantage of that. leicester city go to newcastle on monday. tough games at this stage can change with noise. today nottingham forest welcome arsenal. it could mark the end of the gunners title charge should forest take three points. take three points

arsenal can't win the league and steve cooper's side have their own motivation. when you're playing for something, you always want it to be in your hands. and we've managed to create that for now, and that's what we've got to try and capitalize on. if we're thinking about what ifs and other things beyond being our best on on saturday, then we won't be at our best. and obviously that's not something that can happen. the race to stay up is captivating and excruciating. watching from the top manchester city. even if arsenal win, they still need just three points and they host chelsea on sunday. this is the premier league's home straight and at both ends of the table it will soon be settled. joe lenski, bbc news. onto the golf... it's all to play for, at the us pga championship. scottie scheffler, viktor hovland and corey conners, share the lead at five under par in rochester, upstate new york at the half way stage. but, how about callum tarren? in his third ever major, the darlington man is tied sixth, just three shots off the lead. he's the highest british player on the leaderboard heading into the third round.

rory mcilroy had another mixed round, still stuggling to find his best form, but he turned it around, on the ninth, hitting the first of his three birdies, in the round, and then no bogeys from this point on either. mcilroy is level par. good news, for britain's geraint thomas, who remains two seconds clear in the overall lead, after 13 stages of the giro d'italia. bad weather saw yesterday's stage cut, from 123 miles to just 46, with the riders spending more time, on their team buses than their bikes. columbia's einer rubio, claimed the first stage victory of his career. thomas finished ninth, just ahead of his race rival premoz roglitch. it's boxer katie taylor's long awaited homecoming fight in ireland, tonight, when she takes on chantelle cameron in dublin. it's the first major boxing event to be held, in the republic, for more than a decade... it will be the first time in boxing history that two undisputed champions, undisputed champions have met, with taylor stepping up from lightweight to challenge cameron for her super lightweight titles.

should taylor win, she would have the unique distinction of being the first undisputed, female champion in two weight divisions. we've heard of rain or bad light stopping play during a cricket match — but how about a hot air balloon? i think he's landing on the cricket field! _ this happened during an under—tens match in chichester, west sussex. spectatorjim stather, captured the moment as the balloon, came to rest towards, the mid—off position. the only time i've been on a hot air balloon _ the only time i've been on a hot air balloon we — the only time i've been on a hot air balloon we did crash landing to some allotments. it was a soft landing hutm _ allotments. it was a soft landing but... were you in the balloon? no, i was _ but... were you in the balloon? no, i was an— but... were you in the balloon? no, i was an innocent bystander. it's an incredible _ i was an innocent bystander. it's an incredible experience and as i say,

so my eyes appear the way they are. i call them my little bart simpson ears. so i metjean, who fostered me at two weeks old, and she adopted me when i was five, and throughout that entire process, she fostered other children, all with different disabilities. looking back at high school, i have so many amazing memories, but behind those moments, there was me trying my best to fit in. the older kids would pull their eyes down, they would sing or make chants up about myself. as i got older and people started getting into relationships, that kind of didn't really happen for me, and that's when i developed so much hate for my face. i wanted to hurt them as much as i was hurting. i was in a really, really dark, angry place, when i thought

about my birth parents. i wanted to reach out to them to let them know that i was ok, and i was happy. so we wrote a letter, and a couple of weeks later, we got a letter back, and it simply said... and both of them had signed it. being rejected by those two people again, it hurt. years ago, i was asked to do a school talk. i was in the playground and a couple of kids went over, and they said, jono, can you show us your hearing aid? i live with my grandparents, jono, i don't know my mum and dad, jono, i get bullied because of xyz. right there in that playground, i was like, i need to do more of this. over the last two years, i've been

working on my very first book, not all heroes wear capes, and it is about the heroes i have met in my life, and how ultimately i became my own biggest hero. the truth is my life has been full of a lot of love, and a lot of adventure. jono lancaster sharing his story. here's matt with a look at the weather. surely it's time for a week of solid decent weather? there's been a lot of rain days, dell for some across

england and wales. blue skies ahead. this picture captured by one of our weather watchers in dorset. and this picture in perth, central scotland, and that sky is grey which will sit in place for a good part of that weekend. as far as the weather is concerned, it shows up on the satellite imagery, this will see flash flooding in italy. you can see the strip, this well—defined strip of cloud. clear skies for england and wales, and we will see some mist and wales, and we will see some mist and fog across southern counties. scotland, northern ireland, it was then at times, that cloud. heavy showers were arriving to the west. uv levels here will be down for england and wales, strong sunshine

ahead. 20 celsius through this afternoon, some spots closer to 21-22 c. killer afternoon, some spots closer to 21—22 c. killer in scotland because of that cloud. tonight, scotland, northern ireland, the cloud beckons up, the wettest conditions will be through the night. it will turn a little bit lighter as we go into the morning. the sunday, we will see temperatures starting in double digits but for england and wales, a fresh start, 3—5 c. mist and fog which will gradually shift. scotland and northern ireland will have fairly cloudy starts, but much more sunshine across the north in the west of the country. temperatures in the mid—teens to maybe live teens but in england and wales, will widely across southern areas. start

next week, monday brings high pressure, trying to nosy its way in. cloud will bring some showers in scotland and northern ireland. some sunny breaks over the weekend. on monday, in wales, mostly dry. 22 celsius. as we go through much of this coming week, we could do with something a bit dry. other some weather fronts getting close to the north of scotland, the weather has been dry the normal this spring and most of us will have a dry week this week. no heatwave but temperatures closer to where we should be for the end of may. that's how it's looking. enjoy the rest of your weekend.
