they've won their third premier league title in a row after arsenal slipped up at nottingham forest. and the trophy will be presented to them later today when they face chelsea at the etihad. this opposing new way of tackling climate change. crushed volcanic rocks that remove greenhouse gas from our atmosphere.— from our atmosphere. climate scientists _ from our atmosphere. climate scientists are _ from our atmosphere. climate scientists are now _ from our atmosphere. climate scientists are now clear - from our atmosphere. climate scientists are now clear that l from our atmosphere. climate - scientists are now clear that some carbon removal, like this, will be needed to try to cool down our overheating planet. it's sunday 21st may. our main story: opposition parties are urging the prime minister to launch an ethics investigation into the home secretary, following claims she tried to avoid receiving points on her driving licence. a government source says suella braverman asked an adviser to organise a private speed awareness course after she was caught last summer. our correspondent simon
6:02 am
jones has the story. if you get caught speeding, you may be offered a choice — a fine and three points off your license or the option of attending a speed awareness course in a group instead. suella braverman was caught driving too fast last summer when she was the attorney general. but according to a government source, she later asked civil servants for advice on arranging a course because she wanted to know how a group session would work as she has a close protection team with her at all times be the civil with her at all times but the civil service didn't get involved. suella braverman then asked a political advisor to try to arrange a private but the provider said there were no 1—to—1 sessions. the source refusing to say whether her motivation to do the course in private was to reduce the chance of being recognised by a member of the public. it was when she was reappointed to the top job at the home office by rishi sunak she decided
6:03 am
she was too busy to do a course and instead paid the fine and took the points on her license. her team believes that is the end of the matter and denies there has been in breach of the ministerial code. but that is not how labour sees it. on twitter the shadow home secretary yvette cooper wrote... she wants the prime minister's ethics advisor to investigate. a spokesman for the home secretary said... but the liberal democrats also are calling for an urgent investigation. simon jones, bbc news. our political correspondent, ben wright, explains the steps suella braverman took, after being caught speeding. when she became home secretary insert timber she went to civil
6:04 am
servants to ask if they could help her arrange the course because she was concerned that because she had a close protection team it may be a problem and at that point the civil service said this is nothing to do with us. if you want to talk about the cause or arrange a course get your political adviser to do it in so. the sunday chines reporter has confirmed that at that point her political adviser did try to seek a one—on—one session between suella braverman and a course instructor either in person or online. it is incredibly unusual and does not happen. now i asked about the motivation for asking for a one—on—one course and the source refused to say whether the motivation of suella braverman was to reduce chances of being recognised by members of the public. the course provider said no and by the time she was reappointed home secretary by the prime minister she had decided tojust secretary by the prime minister she had decided to just pay the following that make fine, get the
6:05 am
point and move on. that is the view of her team now. they say there is nothing to see here and no breach of the ministerial rulebook. but labour certainly think there are big questions for her and the prime minister to answer. they have said this is shocking and the fact that she spoke to the civil service about this at all in the first place is something that the ethics adviser should now investigate. phillip schofield will step down from itv�*s this morning with immediate effect — after presenting the programme for more than 20 years. his departure follows reports that relations between him and co—host holly willoughby had come under strain in recent weeks. our correspondent robin brant has more. welcome back. i am holding the fort. holly had to me leave early today. philip schofield. over 20 years he has the face of the flagship daytime programme for itv. but no longer. in a statement he suggested that idb

6:09 am
reach out to those countries that have not expressed condemnation but not outright supported ukraine. he wanted to reach out and seek wider diplomatic relations. he knows that the g7 countries are on side and he wants more support from all countries around the world. it is expected to give a speech later today and also expected here at the peace memorial park. he will come here with japan's prime minister to lay a wreath and i think he is also going to speak here. this is a very significant moment for president zelensky because, of course, becomes after he has been promised f—16jets that he knows how important it is to make those face—to—face contacts, to speak to the leaders who are supporting his country and make the case for ukraine for that support to continue. ., ~ , ., , . sinn fein is now the largest party in both local government and stormont for the first time, after making huge gains in council
6:10 am
elections. the party has won 144 seats — an increase on the 105 councillors returned in 2019. sinn fein's vice—president, michelle o'neill has described the result as "historic". labour says it would introduce shared waiting lists for hospitals in england, if it wins the next general election. sir keir starmer is expected to outline his vision for the nhs in a speech tomorrow, warning that the service is "not sustainable" without reforms. improving the nhs is one of the party's five missions for government — should it gain power. new rail timetables will come into effect from today, with most operators adding more services and stops. the biggest changes are on great western railway, which says it's increasing the number of trains by 5%. the elizabeth line in london will also be fully operational — with a full timetable of 2a trains

6:12 am
election looks like one that will be basically focused on the cost of living, like so many countries at the moment the fact that the economy here is growing but many people are saying they are simply not feeling it in their pocket and when they go to the shops the prices of the stuff they normally buy is really going up. we also had a bad train crash in greece a few months ago, 57 people killed, most of them students had left their families after a public holiday weekend and were going back to their studies. and many people said the failings on the railways reflected bigger deficiencies in the greek state. so that is something that many people have been angry about. there has also been a wiretapping scandal here over the last year, some people call it the greek watergate. opposition members and politicians were being spied on and politicians were being spied on and bugged and people were really really angry about this. that will all be in the mix today when people come here to cast a ballot and it could be that this ballot is inconclusive and there is another election here in just inconclusive and there is another election here injust a inconclusive and there is another election here in just a few weeks time. martin amis, one of the most
6:13 am
celebrated british novelists of his generation, has died aged 73, of oesophageal cancer. this he wrote 1a novels and several non—fiction martin amis, one of the most celebrated british novelists of his generation, has died aged 73, of oesophageal cancer. he wrote 1a novels and several non—fiction books and is widely considered one of the most influential writers of the 1980s and �*90s. our arts correspondent david sillito looks back at his life and career. reads: in diston, everything hated everything else - and everything else in return hated everything back. martin amis reading from his 2012 novel lionel asbo: the state of england, a pitch—black comedy about the darker side of britain. trademark amis. money, london fields, yellow dog — much of his best work was set in london, little signposts of the changing and, in his opinion, declining state of our nation. the son of another famous author, kingsley amis, the connection was at times both help and a hindrance but the quality of his writing soon established him as a literary star in his own right. a generation that include salman rushdie, who paid tribute to a "unique
6:14 am
and instantly recognisable "literary voice". his willingness to take on the big topics and talk at length sometimes got him into trouble. but if september 11 had to happen... especially after his 9/11 book, the second plane. but while his subject matter was often dark, beautifully written black jokes, old age, he said, had changed him. you begin to value life as much as you did when you were a child and if this is second childhood, then it is a good fun. you have a kind of leave—taking poignancy about you. not anger and certainly not reactionary anger. i don't want to turn the clock back — that is the idlest kind of enquiry. i want to see what is there and see what comedy is there in it. the novelist martin amis,

6:16 am
ireland a lot more sunshine around. northern england and wales a lot more carpet some of itjust high in the sunshine hazy and down the eastern counties, some low cloud drifting in off the north sea. for much of england and wales, another day of strong sunshine overhead and agrees up on yesterday. cooler weather and clouds and place across scotland and northern ireland. with the breeze coming off the coast, north cloud drifting overnight and shifting a bit further an patchy rain and drizzle. where the parties temperatures are holed up in double figures, 10 degrees is there. in some of the clear response, equal get down to three or four celsius like last night. as a guide to the start of a new working week, this is the area of high pressure sitting the area of high pressure sitting the north atlantic extending towards us and it does mean we will see some weather fronts drifting around someone will bring them further
6:17 am
lighter ran across parts of it is in scotland may be a few showers into northern england as we go through the day but actually scotland, a brighter day tomorrow and the low cloud in eastern anglia should break up cloud in eastern anglia should break up in plenty of afternoon sunshine. temperatures across the south—west midlands could get up to 23 and with more sunshine, scotland and island, monday will be warmer as well. for the rest of the working week, the jet stream is to thank, it is pushed to the northern atlantic and here it is into north is the high pressure becoming established to the south and it was sit there through much the week. we will be on the edge of it they were within the wind coming in from a general north—westerly direction, not particularly chilly at all especially with the sun is out it will be strong sunshine at times but the main story, roger and rachel, this coming week after what has been a cloudy and damp spring

another example of incredible developments going on in industry to solve this problem. having a look at the front pages today. news that phillip schofield has stepped down from presenting itv�*s this morning dominates the tabloids. the sunday mirror goes with the headline: "they think it's all sofa... it is now". the sunday people, leading on the same story, says, "we've had our phil". the paper reports that phillip schofield resigned after crunch talks with itv bosses, who told him it was time to go. he does not mention holly willoughby in his departure statement, by the way many are discussing what that may mean. the mail on sunday says the home secretary has been accused of attempting to cover—up being caught speeding. it says that civil servants were asked to help suella braverman
6:23 am
avoid being seen online at a speed awareness course. and the sunday telegraph reports that ministers have started a review of heat pumps over fears they could cause too much noise. the paper describes it as a setback to the government's plan to install 600,000 of them by 2028. no question about what is dominating the back pages this morning! manchester city are champions again and they have not even kicked a ball yet! trio and they have not even kicked a ball et! ., , , , , ., ., yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games _ yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games and _ yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games and i _ yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games and i analyse - yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games and i analyse it - yet! no surprise, they have won the last 11 games and i analyse it like i last 11 games and i analyse it like a lion chasing down the tunnel and at the business and they do not drop points. they do not drop points. and as an arsenalfan points. they do not drop points. and as an arsenal fan you think ok, it may be a year this year but not happening. they have been phenomenal this season and that is why city were crowned premier league champions. manchester city were crowned premier league champions yesterday, despite not kicking a ball after arsenal lost to nottingham forest. the 1—nil defeat means arsenal

6:26 am
no doubt an they will be hoping that these celebrations are just the start. but guardiola's side weren't the only team celebrating as a result of the game at the city ground. nottingham forest's victory secured their place in the premier league next season. it's been a rollercoaster first year back in the top flight for steve cooper's side but these scenes at the final whistle are likely to live long in the memory. supporters been incredible. me and my family will be in debt to them foreverfor my family will be in debt to them forever for what they've given me, particularly this season. i said previously before the game, in an area when maybe it is easy to give up area when maybe it is easy to give up on people, our supporters have done the complete opposite. there was late drama at molinuex, where yerry mina scored in the 99th minute to snatch a 1—all draw for everton against wolves. how crucial that point could be for sean dyche's side! they're just two points above the relegation zone so their battle to survive will go
6:27 am
to the last day of the season. the mentality was fantastic. the change we had to make for personnel and shape and trying to affect the game against a team he had nothing to play for, but went on the back foot to absorb the game and that can be difficult sometimes to break it down and we kept going to finally get the chance to break them down and make a point, which is very pleasing in the end. newcastle united and manchester united need just a point to guarantee champions league football next season. liverpool's draw with aston villa has opened the door for the teams in 3rd and 4th, to seal their european spots with a game to spare. manchester united beat bournemouth thanks to a spectacular finish from casemiro but how much attention has their manager been paying to results elsewhere? i don't care. it about it. i tell it all for many weeks. we have to do thejob a new all for many weeks. we have to do the job a new it is a great team, complementary team. they stay composed, calm, do theirjobs and are winning games. united's task was made easier by liverpool, who only avoided defeat
6:28 am
to aston villa because of this man, bobby firmino, in his final game at anfield before leaving the club. he scored an 89th minute equaliser against aston villa. the 1—1 draw means liverpool remain three points off the top four with one game to go. villa stay seventh. tottenham's hopes of europa league place have virtually disappeared and they face a fight to finish seventh and make the europe conference league after a 3—1 defeat at home to brentford. there was a sombre mood at the tottenham hotspur stadium after another disappointing performance. in scotland's premiership, fourth—place hearts beat aberdeen, who are third, 2-1, to narrow the gap between the sides to just two points. just two games of the season remain, with the prize of guaranteed group stage european football potentially at stake. meanwhile, champions celtic drew 2—2 with st mirren to extend their unbeaten domestic home run to 51 games. callum mcgregor�*s late equaliser salvaged a draw as the hoops went two successive games without a win. what a night in the boxing to bring you, too! a shock of sort for katie taylor,

i don't know much about construction work on woodworking carpentry and things but i know people were offering their spare time to come along and help, so we would do the best we can. and if it means stripping the entire house from front to rear and rearranging walls and everything else than floors, which we are doing, then so be it. we will crack on and do it.

it was an alleluia moment! i was so happy. i it was an alleluia moment! i was so happy, i was running around with my arms in the air and i threatened to do a streak on television that it was a bit cold that day, so i decided not to! it was just a fantastic feeling of come rotary between everybody that had done it. one of the guys was crying when it went —— camaraderie. i think that if you have the right people behind you, you can move mountains.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: opposition parties call for an urgent ethics investigation — after it emerges home secretary suella braverman tried to arrange a private speed awareness course. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky is expected to address international leaders later, on the final day of the g7 summit injapan. as phillip schofield steps down after 20 years, amid reports of tensions with co—host holly willoughby, what next for itv�*s flagship show this morning? the first part of the triple is complete for manchester city. ole, ole, ole!

they've sealed a third premier league title in a row after arsenal slipped up at nottingham forest. and the trophy will be presented to them later today when they face chelsea at the etihad. and in whether it is the case of sunshine again for much of england and wales withjust sunshine again for much of england and wales with just one or two exceptions. still a good deal cloudier and out breaks of rain this morning. the full forecast is coming up morning. the full forecast is coming up here on breakfast. it's sunday 21st may. our main story. opposition parties are urging the prime minister to launch an ethics investigation into the home secretary, following claims she tried to avoid receiving points on her driving licence. a government source says suella braverman asked an adviser to organise a private speed awareness course — after she was caught last summer. our correspondent simon jones has the story. if you get caught speeding, you may be offered a choice — a fine and three points off your license or the option of attending a speed awareness
7:02 am
course in a group instead. suella braverman was caught driving too fast last summer when she was the attorney general. but according to a government source, she later asked civil servants for advice on arranging a course because she wanted to know how a group session would work as she has a close protection team with her at all times but the civil service didn't get involved. suella braverman then, the bbc has been told, asked a political advisor to try to arrange a private but the provider said there were no 1—to—1 sessions. the source refusing to say whether her motivation to do the course in private was to reduce the chance of being recognised by a member of the public. it was when she was reappointed to the top job at the home office by rishi sunak she decided she was too busy to do a course and instead paid the fine and took the points on her license. her team believes that is the end of the matter and denies there has been in breach of the ministerial code. but that is not how labour sees it.
7:03 am
on twitter the shadow home secretary yvette cooper wrote... she wants the prime minister's ethics advisor to investigate. a spokesman for the home secretary said... but the liberal democrats also are calling for an urgent investigation. simon jones, bbc news. we can talk now to our political correspondent charlotte rose, who's outside the home office this morning. charlotte — what more do we know? as you heard in that piece that the home secretary insisting that she has done nothing wrong, that she did not break the ministerial code asking civils for advice over this issue and her team says she
7:04 am
considers this matter to be closed. labour, as you may expect, take the opposite view saying she has abused her position of power and they want the prime minister 's independent ethics adviser to now investigate the issue. a short time ago at a press conference injapan, rishi sunak was asked about it and this is what he had to say. t do sunak was asked about it and this is what he had to say.— what he had to say. i do not know the full details _ what he had to say. i do not know the full details of _ what he had to say. i do not know the full details of what _ what he had to say. i do not know the full details of what has - the full details of what has happened nor have i spoken to the home _ happened nor have i spoken to the home secretary, i think you can see first-hand _ home secretary, i think you can see first—hand what i have been doing over the _ first—hand what i have been doing over the last day or so. but i understand she has expressed regret rate for— understand she has expressed regret rate for speeding, accepted the penalty— rate for speeding, accepted the penalty and paid the fine. 30 rate for speeding, accepted the penalty and paid the fine. so that is rishi sunak _ penalty and paid the fine. so that is rishi sunak speaking _ penalty and paid the fine. so that is rishi sunak speaking just - penalty and paid the fine. so that is rishi sunak speaking just a - penalty and paid the fine. so thatj is rishi sunak speaking just a few minutes ago, refusing to say that he would hold an investigation, refusing, really, to condemn the home secretary 's behaviour. of course, suella braverman is no stranger to controversy and i suspect that opposition parties are not going to want to leave it at just this and will continue to push for some kind of investigational some kind of outcome to this.

phillip schofield will step down from itv�*s this morning "with immediate effect" — after presenting the programme for more than 20 years. his departure follows reports that relations between him and co—host holly willoughby had come under strain in recent weeks. our correspondent robin brant has more. welcome back. i am holding the fort. holly had to me leave early todaybecause she is meeting his meeting his majesty. philip schofield. over 20 years he was the face of itv�*s flagship daytime programme, this morning. but no longer. in a retirement statement he suggested that itv had decided the time had come to call it a day. he wrote that "throughout my career in tv, including the very difficult last few days, i have always done my best to be honourable and kind. i understand that itv has decided the current situation cannot go on and want to do what i can to protect the show that i love." shall we try pressing
7:06 am
all the buttons? he has been a face on television since the 1980s and in recent years a presenter of some of itv�*s most high profile content. but over the last few months he is the one who has been making headlines. there was his controversial appearance at the head of a queue for the queen's lying in state and when he came out as gay, there were hugs and tears from fellow presenters but there have been many stories alleging all was not well behind the scenes especially with his co—presenter, holly willoughby. it is very hard that once the story starts about a rift behind—the—scenes, it is hard to go against those rumours and i think it is just a case that social media has been alight over the last few days about the future of the show. holly willoughby's statement was respectful of his talents. she referred to 13 great years presenting this morning with phil and wanted to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, experience and humour. "the sofa will not feel

the same without him." also adding to the headlines, philip schofield's younger brother was jailed for sexual abuse this weekend. he may have been one of television's most familiar faces but faced with all of this it appears the show was bigger than the star. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky is expected to address world leaders today, to ask them to increase military and diplomatic support to kyiv. he'll speak during the last day of the g7 summit, which is taking place in the japanese city of hiroshima. our tokyo correspondent shaimaa khaliljoins us now. shaimaa — what's being discussed today? thank you for talking to us. we know that president _ thank you for talking to us. we know that president zelensky _ thank you for talking to us. we know that president zelensky is _ thank you for talking to us. we know that president zelensky is still - that president zelensky is still there and we have also heard from rishi sunak a moment ago, talking about a domestic issue but he has been talking today also about what is been going on in hiroshima. that is been going on in hiroshima. that is riuht. is been going on in hiroshima. that is right- we — is been going on in hiroshima. that is right. we have _ is been going on in hiroshima. tngt is right. we have been listening to
7:08 am
rishi sunak�*s presser before he address the domestic issues spoke about g7 and what was going on and of course addressed president zelensky's presents here in hiroshima. we expect president zelenskyjust behind me at the peace memorial park here to be in that very significant location, to lay a wreath in that spot that was, of course, levelled decades ago by the atomic bomb. a hugely significant moment for him, being in that very spot. but rishi sunak was also talking about the importance of him being physically here. remember, he was not actually supposed to be here in person, he was going to address the summit via video link but he realises how important it is to have that facetime and those i lateral and group meetings with allies and also reaching out to other nations. rishi sunak said that the peace in ukraine is also important for

7:10 am
the next general election. sir keir starmer is expected to outline his vision for the nhs in a speech tomorrow, warning that the service is "not sustainable" without reforms. improving the nhs is one of the party's five missions for government — should it gain power. new rail timetables will come into effect from today, with most operators adding more services and stops. the biggest changes are on great western railway, which says it's increasing the number of trains by 5%. the elizabeth line in london will also be fully operational — with a full timetable of 24 trains an hour at peak times. voting is currently under way in the most uncertain parliamentary election in greece in a decade. left wing opposition leader alexis tsipras, the man who signed the last of the eu bail—out deals after the country's financial crash, is hoping to make a return to power. he faces a challenge from current prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis who's looking to win a second term in office. sinn fein is now the largest party
7:11 am
in both local government and stormont for the first time after making huge gains in council elections. the party has won 144 seats, with vice—president michelle o'neill describing the council election result as "historic". we're joined now by our ireland correspondent chris page. chris, how significant a victory is this? after what was an uneventful campaign the election has produced a highly significant result. those 144 seat finesse that sinn fein won surpass the parties own expectations. they banked on around 130 on a really good day. they had been expected to win but michelle o'neill has said that, really, this result is a vote for the restoration of the devolved power—sharing government that stormont, that democratic unionist party continues to protest against breakfast that make brake system training
7:12 am
arrangements if that veto was lifted it would become the first irish nationalist to take the position of northern ireland first minister. the dup, its vote has held steady, it did not lose any seats overall compared with the last election so it says that is a vindication of its strategy, the dup leadership talks about finishing thejob strategy, the dup leadership talks about finishing the job and stresses that they want to see storm on result. and more work done by the british government to deal with unionist concerns. so this could increase the likelihood of a return to stormont. a longer term consequence, this has cemented a pattern of elections over the last few years where we have had 40% voting irish nationalist, 40% voting for unionist and 20% voting for neither party. for unionist and 20% voting for neither party-— for unionist and 20% voting for neither -a . .. ~ ,. , . neither party. thank you very much, chris. yesterday we spoke to 9—year—old isaac, who's taking on a special challenge this weekend,
7:13 am
to sit in every one of the 39,000 —— 39,414 seats at goodison park, the home of everton. we wa nted we wanted to bring you up—to—date to the story. this is him and his friends yesterday. today they will finish the challenge and it is all to raise funds for the oliver king foundation. which provides heart defibrillators in schools and other public places. i wonder how they are going at the moment. it is tough. really tough. would like to them and we will let you know how they are getting on. time for a quick look now at the weather. that morning, matt. bright and beautiful everywhere, isn't it? not quite everywhere. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. very calm in oxford and i'm not sure about you but i be

7:28 am
part of the issue here is that, we have been given statements and we have been given statements and we have been given statements and we have been told there was a falling out but no—one really knows what is going on? out but no-one really knows what is auoin on? , out but no-one really knows what is hoin on? , , going on? exactly, but i feelthe speculation _ going on? exactly, but i feelthe speculation surrounding - going on? exactly, but i feelthe speculation surrounding the i speculation surrounding the relationship have essentially made the show itself be overshadowed. does this morning, the front pages of all of the sunday newspapers have headlines that reflect that. it is now itv looking at the statement indirectly through phillip schofield's statement yesterday was talking about how itv had not necessarily been that pleased at the attention the show has been receiving over the course of the last week. i think it is also down to the authenticity for viewers. this morning, especially, the vibe
7:29 am
was great and so many viable moments over the years from when he talked about jokes, over the years from when he talked aboutjokes, if my grandma, if she was a bite, she would have had wheels, they went out all night and may be the next morning for the next national tv awards. many moments beyond the show that had been, become viral because of the relationship between the two. the affection between them was genuine, you could tell it was built on a genuine friendship. you absolutely could but the _ genuine friendship. you absolutely could but the issue _ genuine friendship. you absolutely could but the issue was _ genuine friendship. you absolutely could but the issue was the - genuine friendship. you absolutely i could but the issue was the moment that started to unravel, many viewers were then watching it for the wrong reasons, to go and see whether actually the speculation about their relationship was actually true. and it's also the case that when viewers start to become sceptical of a relationship on screen, a friendship on screen, is actually authentic, then it is very, very hard to convince them
7:30 am
otherwise that actually the allegations are not true. i think this morning bosses said it was unsustainable, it was not worth wild committing through this difficult few weeks that this show and the pair. that is what led to the rather extraordinary statement at three pm on a saturday afternoon, just yesterday. on a saturday afternoon, 'ust yesterday.�* yesterday. you feel, phillip schofield — yesterday. you feel, phillip schofield has _ yesterday. you feel, phillip schofield has been - yesterday. you feel, phillip schofield has been a i yesterday. you feel, phillip schofield has been a staple yesterday. you feel, phillip i schofield has been a staple on the tv for decades. i remember growing up up watching him and seem in the west end. very tough and it does raise questions to the future of this morning generally. all shows as popular as this have years with a successful award winning and years where they go through difficulty,
7:31 am
renewal and trying to work out a new path forward. this morning feels like it will either enter that or it is within that difficult period at the moment. also i feel there is a lot of attention for who is not presenting monday to thursday but who presents on friday. many are saying that the friday presenter should be the new monday to thursday faces. the difficulty of that is the fact that in the last few years they have become one of the most successful tv presenters in the uk and havejust successful tv presenters in the uk and have just signed successful tv presenters in the uk and havejust signed up successful tv presenters in the uk and have just signed up to a new series of bake off and is certainly sought after. it is tv chemistry. one of the easiest things in one of the most enjoyable things of watching tv but one of the hardest things to do because as you point out it is all about authenticity and all about something that is natural. you cannot fake it. it is all about how people are on the screen and trying to have that on most popular

7:33 am

7:37 am
for something in sport and you don't reach it it is a huge disappointment comes after that. outside the etihad, the party was under way. only last month, you were only eight points behind. the banner said it all. we cannot believe it! we were sitting here half—an—hourago, praying. he is only two and this is his third! we rushed out of the house again. how have they done it? the goals of the remarkable erling haaland and a winning streak as yet again city peaked when it mattered. they were calm about the situation because they've been there before and i think the players said it was ok and arsenal were heavy favourites, aren't they, a one point. city fans will be hoping this is just the start of what could be an extraordinary few weeks with an fa cup final and a champions league
7:38 am
final still to come, a treble of trophies could soon be theirs. off the field, there are questions for city after they were charged with breaching the league's financial rules but on the field, there supremacy is no doubt an they will be hoping that these celebrations are just the start. andy swiss, bbc news. celebrations no doubt continuing today in manchester. what a night in the boxing to bring you too. a shock of sorts for katie taylor, who lost her unbeaten record in her hometown, with england's chantelle cameron producing a stunning win, to retain her undisputed title in dublin. it's taylor's first professional loss — and ade adedoyin was there. announcer: and still the undisputed super lightweight champion _ of the world, chantelle 'il capo' cameron! not the homecoming party that they anticipated, with chantelle cameron stealing the show, relentless pressure

forcing kaite taylor on the back foot early and setting the tone for the fight. comeron, aggressive, stalking taylor, landing blows the head and body, a close fight in which momentum swung one way and the and the next, the crowd on their feet as both traded heavy leather at the end. a champion's performance from chantelle cameron. heartbreak for katie taylor. this is not how it was meant to go but so grateful all the same for the amazing support tonight. we were sold out in a few minutes. absolutely incredible. get the rematch on? absolutely. disappointing night for katie taylor, not delivering victory for the home crowd but for the first time she walks out and leaves her held high. so easy to give katie respect for what she has done and to go out there and let it go out the window but you cannot help but respect her. she is a nice woman, great athlete and great boxer and what she has done for women's
7:40 am
boxing is unbelievable. taylor is still the undisputed lightweight champion because those belts were not on the line but she will want to rectify the blemish on what had been a pristine record. ade adedoyin, bbc news. drama from rugby union's showpiece european event with la rochelle the champions again. it was the biggest comeback in european cup final history. the french side came from 17—0 down to win byjust1 point. antoine hastoy�*s conversion giving them a 27—26 win against leinster in dublin. not only have they won back—to—back european cups, but they've also beaten the same opponent two years in a row. garin thomas made a tactical decision to let the pinch is go on the giro d'italia, he decided to make it easy with the rest of the race favourites to save energy in the wet, breakaway group finished 20

who are there. the headlines for you at eight. time now on breakfast, for click. spencer: air passenger volumes are set to grow from pre—covid levels of 4 billion passengers a year to 8 billion — a little more than the current world population — in about 15 to 20 years. lara: this means there'll be more aircraft flying _ and more flights to manage. so, although a lot of the talk recently has been about autonomous cars, let's not forget that planes have had autopilot for quite a while. but just how autonomous could they get? could we one day see flights take
7:50 am
off without a human pilot on board? well, shiona mccallum's been to airbus hq to find out the latest. toulouse is one of france's most historic cities, known by the locals as la ville rose, or the pink city. it's also famed for its tasty food, given it's so close to the border with spain. there's culture, art and architecture, but there's also something else. we see it as certainly the aviation capital of europe and maybe the world. our history in aviation in toulouse goes back to the early 20th century, and in fact, only 300 metres from where we're sitting in this fabulous, modern a350 is the hangar in which the french concordes were built in the 1960s. and it's here that airbus is testing its most recent technologies, focusing on three areas.
7:51 am
firstly, the ability of an aeroplane to support the pilots by automating some of the functions required for a diversion in case of a problem during flight where the aeroplane needs to land quickly. the second stream, related to opening the possibilities for automatic landings at airports that are not equipped for the automatic landings normally used today in service. and the third stream was assisting pilots with taxiing, which sounds an easy task, but on my screen here, you can see the complexity of a busy airport. so we wanted something that would assist with that and reduce the pilots' workload during the taxi phase. right, this might look like your average cockpit, but come with me and i'll show you — we're in a demonstrator aircraft. this is where the technology is all being tested. and the idea is that airbus want to make their flights safer. known as the dragonfly project, based on the insect�*s ability to recognise certain locations,
7:52 am
the team have been working on these futuristic capabilities for the last couple of years. and just before the research closes, i've come to see what they've been doing, starting in the lab. airbus 5—9 india lima, diverting to airport lima, foxtrot, bravo, 0scar. the aircraft was able to generate a new flight trajectory plan, and, using artificial intelligence, to generate a synthetic voice, the plane was able to communicate with both air traffic control and the airline operations control centre over the radio. in an unlikely scenario where the crew is no longer able of controlling the aircraft, this function will take full control of the aircraft and autonomously, in a safe manner, fly the aircraft down to an auto—land at a suitable runway for a diversion. and so what were the main challenges with this work? the challenge is to explain to the controllers exactly
7:53 am
what will happen, so that they can manage surrounding traffic. we have performed two flights in the middle of the civil airspace, so, with other commercial aircraft around us, and the french control authorities, they could fully understand the situation. we safely landed the aircraft. it was really an amazing feat. when it comes to assisting with landing, usually a plane connects with existing ground equipment technology, but the team here are trying to make it possible without that tech. they say their innovations could allow the aircraft to land at any airport in the world and to assist, they're using a combination of normal cameras, infrared cameras and also radar technology, which the team says help them see behind the clouds. they are just capturing the trajectory of the aircraft. and then we use these, these pictures, let's say, and we try to extract the information. it will make the pilot comfortable on the fact that he's really aligned
7:54 am
and he's really on the good path to go to the, to the runway. and that's what we have seen in the last flight test, that he's really able to be confident on the solution, yeah. what's your thoughts on aviation becoming fully automated? i'm a pilot, 0k? we have no strategic objective to remove pilots from the cockpit. that's our policy. but we will do whatever is safest for the overall safeness and security of the aeroplane. we're many, many years away from ever being able to contemplate a completely automatic aeroplane, i can assure you. fundamentally, all of this research means that probably in the not—too—distant future, you could find yourself on an aeroplane with a lot more automated features — but no pilot? well, that still feels like a long way away. that was shiona up in the air.
7:55 am
we're coming back to earth with a bump now, quite literally, because depending on the road surface you drive on, you could be in for a smoother or more bumpy ride. but one thing that's worse than cobbled streets is potholes. and paul carter's been to a test track to see some of the latest technology that's hoping to create a smoother ride for everyone. yes, uneven surfaces are the bane of many road users' journeys, spoiling the ride experience and in some cases, even causing damage to vehicles. i've come to a secure test track facility in the uk to meet a company hoping to change this by developing a solution that they say can do for uneven road surfaces what noise—cancelling headphones do for background noise. clearmotion is a company founded out of mit and has developed a technology that can actively adapt
7:56 am
the pressure and suspension of a vehicle to give the impression of smoothing out any bumps on the tarmac. using independently driven dampers and actuators in all four wheels, along with some processing power under the hood, the system can dynamically adjust and adapt in real time. so, what we do, when you drive down the road with the wheel, the wheel will sense an acceleration, depending what kind of obstacle you hit. so, this acceleration is measured by our device. it's built into the device accelerometer. based on that, we calculate how fast the wheel wants to go up and then we say, ok, how do we calculate the counter—force accordingly? but if we do that only on one wheel, you might get a rock on one side, but not getting this smooth ride we all expect. so, the... these signals get sent to a central body controller, in vehicle, where our software resides. it calculates the synchronisation between all four wheels and based on that, it commands the controlling
7:57 am
feature for all sides. that's the theory, at least. seeing it in the workshop is one thing, but i wanted to see it in action. so, it's out to the track. but first, i wanted a sense of what it feels like without the tech. should i be more nervous now it's wet? robotic voice: let's take control! oh, wow. whoa! paul laughs they look, like, really small to the naked eye. so we did the bumps in the standard car. now we're going to do it in this car, with the system turned on. wow. that is extraordinary. big difference. that's side to side wobbles dealt with. yeah, well, that's quite nice. what about throwing some undulations into the mix? you may feel that it doesn't feel
7:58 am
like the bumps are there. it doesn't really feel like there's anything there at all. i can assure you they are. and you'll find out very shortly. we're going to try that again, but switch the system off. we're going to switch the active part of the system off. 0k. so, it's more representative of what a standard car would feel like going over there. 0h! paul laughs that's what i thought. yeah, i wasn't expecting that! wow. obviously, this is a test track, and it's not necessarily replicating real—world conditions. i thought we were going to take off. but the level of potential benefit from this kind of technology is clear. it should also be pointed out that the concept of active suspension in itself isn't new, and variations of it are available in some production cars, often as a paid—for added extra. these can range from fixed or semi—automatic systems to suspension using cameras
7:59 am
to analyse the road surface. the target market for this tech is currently vehicle manufacturers, not end consumers, as clearmotion claim that this can be fitted to most production vehicles more efficiently and cheaply than fully integrated systems. there are business strategies working with vehicle makers to integrate this with new cars. so, basically, this would be new cars coming off the lot. the car you experienced today was a retrofit, but really, our strategy is to go out with new vehicles. one of the real benefits here is, it's very easy for an oem to integrate. it's low cost, it's totally local to each wheel and there's just basically electronics and wires going between them. this makes it a lot easier. you don't need to redesign the car with hoses or other sort of systems. it allows a auto—maker to adopt this. it reduces the friction, really. 0k. so, we're driving along. you feeling the...? can feel it starting to vibrate. yeah, there we go. but it's notjust on the road that there are potential benefits here. systems like this can be
8:00 am
independently controlled and programmed via software, meaning there are possible applications in other areas, such as entertainment, turning the car into a simulator, for example, or even giving the car the ability to perform gestures. whether you see technology like this as a must—have feature or an expensive gimmick will clearly depend on a variety of factors, including your personal driving habits and relationship with your car. but ultimately, it will be for manufacturers to decide just how smooth yourjourneys might be in the future. awesome. yeah. that is it for the shortcut this week but the full—length version waits for you on iplayer. week but the full-length version waits for you on iplayer.- week but the full-length version waits for you on iplayer. thank you for watching- _ waits for you on iplayer. thank you for watching. goodbye. _

8:03 am
speed awareness course — after she was caught last summer. our correspondent simon jones has the story. if you get caught speeding, you may be offered a choice — a fine and three points on your licence or the option of attending a speed awareness course in a group instead. suella braverman was caught driving too fast last summer when she was the attorney general. but according to a government source, she later asked civil servants for advice on arranging a course because she wanted to know how a group session would work as she has a close protection team with her at all times. but the civil service wouldn't get involved. suella braverman, then, the bbc has been told, asked a political adviser to try to arrange a private course, but the provider said there were no one—to—one sessions. the source refused to say whether her motivation to do the course in private was to reduce the chance of being recognised by a member of the public. it was when suella braverman was reappointed to the top job here at the home office by rishi sunak that she decided she was too busy to do a course
8:04 am
and instead paid the fine and took the points on her licence. her team believes that is the end of the matter and denies there has been any breach of the ministerial code. but that is not how labour sees it. on twitter the shadow home secretary yvette cooper wrote... she wants the prime minister's ethics adviser to investigate. a spokesman for the home secretary said... but the liberal democrats also are calling for an urgent investigation. simon jones, bbc news. we can talk now to our political correspondent charlotte rose, who's outside the home office. has there been any further response to this from the home secretary herself? this

have confidence in the home secretary. however, the shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, clearly not happy about that. she said on twitter earlier that it was not good enough, prime minister. and that this is a pathetic response, are you really too weak to set up an investigation? so i think this row will rumble on longer. phillip schofield will step down from itv�*s this morning with immediate effect after presenting the programme for more than 20 years. his departure follows reports that relations between him and co—host holly willoughby had come under strain in recent weeks. our correspondent robin brant has more. welcome back. i'm holding the fort — holly has had to me leave early today because she is meeting his majesty the king. philip schofield — for more than 20 years he has been the face of itv�*s flagship daytime programme this morning. but no longer. in a resignation statement, he suggested itv had decided the time had come to call it a day.
8:07 am
he wrote... these are the buttons. shall we try pressing them all? he has been a face on tv since the 1980s. in recent years, a presenter of some of itv�*s most high—profile output. but over the last few months, he is the one who has been making headlines. there was his controversial appearance at the head of a queue for the queen's lying in state. and when he came out as gay, there were hugs and tears from fellow presenters. but there have been many stories alleging all was not well behind the scenes, especially with his co—presenter, holly willoughby. it is very hard, i think, once a story starts about a rift behind the scenes, it is hard to go against those rumours and i think
8:08 am
it is just a case that social media has been alight over the last few days about the future of the show. holly willoughby's statement was respectful of his talents. she referred to "13 great years presenting this morning with phil and i want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, experience and humour. the sofa will not feel the same without him." also adding to the headlines, philip schofield's younger brother was jailed for sexual abuse this week. he may have been one of tv�*s most familiar faces, but faced with all of this, it appears the show was bigger than the star. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky is expected to address world leaders today to ask them to increase military and diplomatic support to kyiv. he'll speak during the last day of the g7 summit, which is taking place in the japanese city of hiroshima. our tokyo correspondent shaimaa khaliljoins us now. good morning. hopefully you can hear

8:10 am
no for today, but bakhmut is in our hearts. it might not be the biggest gain to the russian forces but i think it adds urgency to what president zelensky is asking for to continue to help and support ukraine. rishi sunak spoke about his presence here and how significant it is and how peace in ukraine is also important to britain's security. the imaue of important to britain's security. the image of the _ important to britain's security. the image of the g7 and our partners standing — image of the g7 and our partners standing shoulder to shoulder with president — standing shoulder to shoulder with president zelensky sends a powerful message _ president zelensky sends a powerful message about the unity and determination of the g7 allies. we will stand — determination of the g7 allies. we will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes — will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes because their security is our— as it takes because their security is our security.— is our security. this is the optics he is talking _ is our security. this is the optics he is talking about, _ is our security. this is the optics he is talking about, the - is our security. this is the optics i he is talking about, the importance of president zelensky being here in person with face—to—face meetings with allies. but president zelensky

the elizabeth line in london will also be fully operational — with a full timetable of 2a trains an hour at peak times. voting is currently under way in the most uncertain parliamentary election in greece in a decade. left wing opposition leader alexis tsipras — the man who signed the last of the eu bail—out deals after the country's financial crash — is hoping to make a return to power. he faces a challenge from current prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis, who's looking to win a second term in office. sinn fein is now the largest party in both local government and stormont for the first time after making huge gains in council elections. the party has won 144 seats, with vice—president michelle o'neill describing the council election result as "historic". we're joined now by our ireland correspondent chris page. i think everyone expected sinn fein to do well but were they expecting them to do as well as they have? it

them to do as well as they have? tit had been widely expected sinn fein would become the largest party in local government in northern ireland in these elections. but the scale by which sinn fein have achieved that has surprised most people, including many members of sinn fein themselves. a62 seats. all the council seats in northern ireland. sinn fein winning iaa. they thought on a good day they might get up to 130. it has been a significant result after a fairly uneventful campaign. isuppose result after a fairly uneventful campaign. i suppose the question for many in northern ireland now, what indications these local government election results will have on the future of the devolved government. there has not been a power—sharing coalition operating fully at stormont for 15 months. the dup vetoing the formation of an executive in protest against brexit trading arrangements. in these elections, the dup vote has held up and they won the same number of
8:14 am
seats as four years ago. the dup leader talked about finishing the job. it looks like he will press the british government for more concessions on the brexit arrangements for northern ireland. many think these results make a restoration of devolution were possible in the coming months. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. liam is up bright and early in shrewsbury. weather watcher liam always is good morning to him and all the weather watchers. notice in shrewsbury there is rain. this halo happens when the sun passes through ice crystals of cirrus cloud which link into a weather front producing a different colour of sky across scotland at the moment. fairly grey and damp as we see rain continue. a lot of it will gradually
8:15 am
fade. this strip of cloud, and the white cloud is the cirrus cloud. drifting into northern parts. the weather front has been drifting into northern parts. the weatherfront has been producing rain in northern ireland and scotland. notice it is fragmented. rain inc cumbria and northumberland. that will fade. lower cloud close to the coast in lincolnshire, east anglia, kent. it will break up. much of england and wales, a sunny day. across north and west of scotland and north in northern ireland, more sunshine than yesterday. temperatures suppressed across scotland. in western england and wales, maybe 22 degrees possible. cooler on north sea coasts with the breeze. cloud dominant here from yorkshire towards kent and sussex. we will see cloud in scotland and
8:16 am
northern ireland breaking up more. where you see breaks, like last night into this morning, on the colder side with temperatures down to 2-3. colder side with temperatures down to 2—3. where the cloud sits in place, around ten. on monday, high pressure building in from the atlantic. we are on the edge of it. we have a weather front bringing cloud. eastern scotland drifting into northern england. some showers on that. maybe a shower in the north wales hills. breezy across the country tomorrow but many will stay dry, sunny spells, a brighter and warmer day for many in scotland and northern ireland. warmest of all in parts of herefordshire and worcestershire. up to 23. the rest of the week, the jet stream first of all, pushing to the north of the uk, and where you get that, you get high pressure. it will sit through much
8:17 am
of the week. and it will keep things largely drive. it has been awhile since i've said this but the outlook for the week ahead is a largely dry one. and temperatures where they should be at this stage of the year. the number of specially trained teachers for deaf children in england is now at its lowest level on record, as a leading charity warns the situation is an educational emergency. more than half of teachers are due to retire in the next 15 years — and there aren't enough trainees to replace them. as shaun peel reports. matthew's school has never had a deaf pupil before. this video from the national deaf children's society demonstrates the value of having specialist teachers. but for the eighth time in ten years, the number of teachers of deaf children has fallen. add to that, more than half are due to retire in the next 15 years and there aren't enough trainees in the pipeline.
8:18 am
kate heads up the virtual school for sensory support in norfolk. all right, so we need to put a microphone on you. so if i leave that there, if you put that up yourjumper and i'd like you to wear this transmitter, please, that's connected to my hearing aids by radio waves. and it will give me a better access to your voice while we're talking. 0k. kate's a teacher of the deaf with a0 years experience, and then one day, she inexplicably and ironically became deaf herself. we're good to go. thank you. everybody does have really different needs. and i think that's one of the things about deaf children, because people very easily think, oh, i know what to do with them because they're deaf. whereas, in fact, if you think about the population of deaf children, they are as varied as the population of hearing children. but because deaf children are a small minority, their needs are often at the back end of the queue. people haven't always understood what the specific needs of deaf children are, and they're a relatively small population, if you think about the school population.
8:19 am
deaf children are a tiny percentage of them, so it's very easy to minimise their needs, whereas in fact with the right support, the world is their oyster. they can go on to achieve great things. rory and his parents have had a really good experience with his teacher of the deaf. without her and help from a ta in school, he wouldn't be making such great progress. although nationally, the number of teachers of the deaf have dwindled and it's not looking promising for the future, at the moment, norfolk is doing ok, but actually there's a lot within the norfolk system that are getting closer to retirement age. actually whilst i know the support is there, if we're all fighting for a dwindling number of staff, nobody's any more deserving than the rest. but it will be those who shout loudest, and that's not fair either. the government says it's on the case and has announced a new apprenticeship scheme for specialist teachers.
8:20 am
charities say it's a step in the right direction, but say it may be too late for a whole generation of deaf children who need the support right now. that was shaun peel reporting. joining us now isjo campion from the national deaf children's society. this is a problem, clearly. how do you fix it? it clearly is not a quick fix. you fix it? it clearly is not a quick fiat-— quick fix. we need urgent investment. _ quick fix. we need urgent investment. we - quick fix. we need urgent investment. we have - quick fix. we need urgent | investment. we have seen quick fix. we need urgent i investment. we have seen a quick fix. we need urgent _ investment. we have seen a dramatic decline over the past decade in specialist teachers with one in the five being cut and not replaced. we also have 50% of teachers of the deaf looking to retire in the next ten years and we need to do something and now.- ten years and we need to do something and now. ten years and we need to do somethin: and now. ~ , ., . something and now. when you say cut, what do you — something and now. when you say cut, what do you mean? _ something and now. when you say cut, what do you mean? they _ something and now. when you say cut, what do you mean? they have - something and now. when you say cut, what do you mean? they have been i something and now. when you say cut, | what do you mean? they have been cut from budgets. —

8:22 am
families find out their baby is deaf. and they follow the child into school and provide support for mainstream teachers to ensure their teachers know how to teach the deaf child and what communication support they need and to make sure their friends have good awareness and can include them in the classroom so they are not left feeling isolated. can you take us into the life of a deaf child and what it can be like without that support in place? bg’s without that support in place? 8096 of deaf children _ without that support in place? 323/23 of deaf children are taught in schools where they are the only deaf child in a school so if you go into a school and nobody has met a deaf child before, you can often get lost in the system. we hear from families that their children sit at the back of the classroom, too afraid to put up of the classroom, too afraid to put up their hand and say i did not understand that, teacher, you have turned, you are facing the board and

8:27 am
there's very little that's green about orrock quarry in fife. the black hillside is being steadily eaten away to make concrete and asphalt for new roads. this is a strange place to be talking about saving the planet, talking about saving the planet. but all that crushing and grinding creates tonne after tonne of tiny, gravelly pieces. this is our magic dust. the dust is basalt, a volcanic rock found in abundance around the world. and what makes volcanic rock interesting to those trying to fight global warming is that as it weathers in the rain, it takes the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. that's what's balanced our climate for the last millennia. jim mann is turbo—charging that natural removal through what's known as enhanced rock weathering. what we do is we use this fine material, which massively speeds up the process. so more contact between
8:28 am
the rain and the rock? exactly. the tiny pieces of basalt are spread onto fields where they weather and react with the carbon in the rain. the science is still new, but it's thought about four tonnes of basalt removes one tonne of carbon. that means one and a half tractor—loads to cancel out a typical brit's annual carbon footprint. for the world to stop warming, we're going to have to stop putting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. this isn't going to fix that. but the world's leading climate scientists are now clear that some carbon removal like this will be needed to restrict rising temperatures and, quite possibly at some point, to try to cool down our overheating planet. the rocks also bring benefits to the landowner. it's free of charge, which is quite important.
8:29 am
basalt acts as a fertiliser, boosting crop yields and making the grass more lush and green. hopefully the meat will taste — well it can't taste any better. so good now. cheaper than most other removal techniques. enhanced rock weathering has in the last couple of years gone from theoretical idea to large scale trials. jim's company has just secured £12 million in investment and microsoft has paid for 25,000 tonnes to be scattered. isn't there a danger that this sort of thing might distract people from the critical importance of cutting carbon dioxide emissions? reduction has to come first, but we also need to be developing these technologies that can do removal at scale. and the nice thing about what we're doing with enhanced rock weathering is it's permanent, so the carbon dioxide is permanently removed. once we've done this process. and it's scalable and it's
8:30 am
ready to be deployed today. this is no silver bullet. grinding the rocks and scattering them does use up energy and create more emissions. but at this early stage, enhanced rock weathering looks a promising development, both absorbing carbon and improving the fertility of the land. jonah fisher, bbc news, in fife. we all know that regular exercise and socialising with friends is important for our wellbeing, but as we get older, this can become much more difficult. one care home has now introduced virtual reality to its residents, allowing them to explore the world and get their steps in, all from the comfort of their armchair. our reporter sarah lowden has been to see how it works. i wonder if you can recognise this place. this is in europe. keeping active and going
8:31 am
on adventures help our bodies and our minds, but as we age, can become more of a challenge. this oxford care home is using virtual reality to help residents overcome that. the headset they are wearing is a virtual reality headset, so it provides a complete 360 view of the world. we use really low—friction shoes, so that there is not a lot of effort to move them. it is really simple to do. the seated treadmill can be used by people who usually don't walk at all. the technology can take them to real places, where they can even meet up with friends. we need to live longer, better, notjust live longer. so we need to be active. and the way of doing that is to maintain physical activity but also social connection. this type of communication is really important because it activates so many different parts of the brain. the i7—month trial run by oxfordshire's innovation hub and an oxford tech start—up has seen a0 people test the kit.
8:32 am
it feels different. going along the road with buildings on either side. you can see the moon. a miracle. all the way along, isn't it? but very, very interesting and useful. nice — i enjoyed it. i would say there is definitely a change in motivation. we had a couple of residents who would be resistant to the idea of going for a walk and after a few times of using the technology they feel more comfortable. congrats. i went 200 metres. it's hoped the positive experience here will encourage other care homes will make the virtual world of reality for their residents. that was sarah lowden reporting. energy bills for a typical household are expected to fall by nearly £a50 from july. consultancy firm cornwall insight predicts that bills could drop under the new price cap — which is due to be announced
8:33 am
by the energy regulator later this week. let's remind ourselves what the situation has been in recent months. injanuary, ofgem's price cap peaked at £a,279. it has fallen slightly since then and is now £3,280 for an average household. analysts now predict that the new price cap will be set at around £2,05a forjuly. we're now joined by matt copeland from national energy policy. we have the price gap and what peoples actual bills are and then we have the government intervention, the energy price guarantee and i think it is really confusing for most householders to know what they will be paying. 3,5 most householders to know what they will be paying-— will be paying. as she was seeing over the winter _
8:34 am
will be paying. as she was seeing over the winter period _ will be paying. as she was seeing over the winter period in - will be paying. as she was seeing over the winter period in januaryl over the winter period injanuary the price gap was sky—high. with government intervention is the average customer was paying around £2100 per yearfor typical average customer was paying around £2100 per year for typical usage. average customer was paying around £2100 per yearfor typical usage. no before this new cut comes in with all the government support it's about £2500. when we get tojuly and if these forecasts are correct which we expect them to be pretty much correct it will come down to around £2050 per yearfor the correct it will come down to around £2050 per year for the average customer so that injuly means we will go back to levels we saw in the winter if you take into account all of the government support available. fundamentally it should mean most people pay less for their energy? paying less than the current period but the same amount as we saw in winter. 50 but the same amount as we saw in winter. , ., , , ., .,

8:39 am
manchester city were crowned premier league champions yesterday despite not kicking a ball after arsenal lost to nottingham forest. andy swiss reports. a night of city celebration, their players watching on tv nottingham forest getting a win which sealed their survival and their opponents' disappointment. an arsenal defeats confirms that manchester city retain their premier league title. first of all, we have to congratulate manchester city for winning the championship and it has been an incredible journey for us over ten months, competing and being many, many moments ahead of them and at the end only comes because you build that belief and you are so eager to go for something in sport and you don't reach it it is a huge disappointment comes after that.
8:40 am
outside the etihad, meanwhile, the party was under way. only last month, you were only eight points behind. we cannot believe it! we were sitting here half an hour ago, praying arsenal didn't score and they didn't! he is only two and this is his third! how have they done it? the goals of the remarkable erling haaland and a winning streak as yet again city peaked when it mattered. they were calm about the situation because they've been there before and i think the players said it was ok and arsenal
8:41 am
were heavy favourites, weren't they, at one point. city fans will be hoping this is just the start of what could be an extraordinary few weeks with an fa cup final and a champions league final still to come, a treble of trophies could soon be theirs. off the field, there are questions for city after they were charged with breaching the leg's financial rules but on the field, there supremacy is no doubt an they will be hoping that these celebrations are just the start. andy swiss, bbc news. but guardiola's side weren't the only team celebrating as a result of the game at the city ground. nottingham forest's victory secured their place in the premier league next season. it's been a roller—coaster first year back in the top flight for steve cooper's side — but these scenes at the final whistle are likely to live long in the memory. the support has been incredible. me and my family will be in debt to them forever for what they've given me, particularly this season. i said previously before the game, in an era when maybe it is easy to give up on people, our supporters have done the complete opposite. there was late drama at molinuex where yerry mina scored in the 99th minute to snatch a 1—1 draw
8:42 am
for everton against wolves. how crucial that point could be for sean dyche's side. they're just two points above third—bottom leeds who play at west ham today. the mentality was fantastic. the change we had to make for personnel and shape and trying to affect the game against a team who had nothing to play for, but went on the back foot to absorb the game and that can be difficult sometimes to break it down and we kept going to finally get the chance to break them down and nicked a point, which is very pleasing in the end. what a night in the boxing to bring you, too, a shock of sorts for katie taylor, who lost her unbeaten record in her hometown with england's chantelle cameron producing a stunning win, to retain her undisputed title in dublin. it's taylor's first professional loss. i guess ijust came up a bit short in a very very close fight, but this is boxing and i always wanted the toughest challenges and i look forward to the rematch if it happens.
8:43 am
it's so easy to give katie so much respect for what she's done and i had to go in there and let it go out the window because you can't help but respect her, she is a nice woman, great athlete, great boxer, and what she's done for a women's boxing is unbelievable. drama from rugby union's showpiece european event with la rochelle the champions again. it was the biggest comeback in european cup final history. the french side came from 17—0 down to win byjust one point. antoine hastoy�*s conversion giving them a 27—26 win against leinster — in dublin. not only have they won back—to—back european cups but they've also beaten the same opponent two years in a row. geraint thomas made a tactical decision to let the leader's pinkjersey go on stage ia of the giro d'italia yesterday. thomas decided to take it easy along with the rest of the race favourites, and save energy in the wet, with today's tough mountain stage in mind. a breakaway group finished over 20 minutes ahead of them. germany's nico denz won the stage but the go—slow from the leaders meant that the french rider bruno armirail, who's viewed as little threat
8:44 am
to them, was elevated from 22nd place to first overall. two—time champion brooks koepka takes a one—shot lead into sunday's final round of the us pga championship. but there's plenty who will be trying to chase him down. justin rose is four shots back on two—under. this was one of four birdies for the englishman, who could have been even closer, but a couple of late bogies cost him valuable strokes on the oak hill course. tricky, wet conditions forced rose to risk the fashion offence of wearing his cap backwards. it makes me feel cool, young, hip. no, i had it on backwards i think for one hole, the seventh hole, i had a putt there. hole number six, my hat was starting to drip and actually the seventh tee box, it actually put me off a little bit, top of my backswing, i had a couple of droplets fall down and kind of distracted me so that's the reason just to put it on backwards. he is usually a man of impeccable style but the backwards cap, i am not so sure. i would not risk it backwards cap. leeds united can come
8:45 am
out of the relegation zone if they win against west ham. the battle of the bottom interesting now. five live has commentary of the city game so you will be able to hear the celebrations. after eight years away from the music scene britpop band blur are back with a new album — and the cover has put the spotlight on a small town in inverclyde. a photograph taken nearly 20 years ago of gourock lido has been chosen as the artwork, much to the delight of local residents. our reporter aileen clarke has been to find out why the band have swapped parklife for pool life.
8:46 am
blur blasting out of the tannoy at gourock pool as swimmers enjoyed the sun and the buzz about their pool being on the front of the band's next album. well, my phone's been going nonstop since news broke last night through different taggings and messages. it's been overwhelming. it's been great. and how satisfying is it for you personally that you're getting such recognition for this pool? it's a place that's close to my heart. this is where i grew up. this is where i swam as a child. but beyond delighted at the level of response. from breaststroke to britpop, they're

lapping it up here. back in 1995, blur took the ferry from gourock over to play a gig in dunoon. now, all these years later, highlighting the town's pool a welcome surprise. so what do you think of your pool being on the front of the album cover? it's so cool. i think we should invite blur to come for a midnight swim. do you think it might encourage more visitors to come and check it out? i think it would, yeah. it'd be quite nice for the local area because it's such a nice setting here. when i was a child, i used to come here when it was a saltwater tidal pool. and llok who i met up with poolside. ian gault, the local man, also known as the lone swimme in the photograph. it was confirmed by the people who worked in the pool that it was me

and indeed it is. you can tell because i'm not a good swimmer. and if you look at the actual photograph, you can see my arms in the wrong position and my heads in the wrong position. and what do you think about now being on the front of an album cover? well, as i say, it's the closest i shall ever come to being a rock star. but it also it's a nice thing. i'm quite pleased for the town, and maybe it will encourage more people to come down and start using pool. and let's face it, if you were looking for a striking image for your album cover, well, this is the pool with quite the view. that was aileen clarke reporting. let's ta ke let's take a look at the week ahead. it looks largely dry. a good deal of strong sunshine with temperatures fairly close to we would normally expect at this stage in may. the rainfall chart projection for the week confirms rainfall amounts only just lifting and left a bit —— lifting a bit across scotland and northern ireland and across much of england and wales not even a drop of rain expected stop the reason is we have the jet stream to the north of us at the moment inducing this big
8:49 am
area of high pressure pushing up from the mid—atlantic. to begin with a bit of a north—westerly breeze so attempt as dropping a touch but is that sets in more towards the weekend we might see temperatures rise a bit further. not completely dry, most of the rain today but even that fizzling across eastern scotland and eastern ireland and a few spots into cumbria, the isle of man and northumberland but even here things will turn dry and there will still be a bit of light rain and drizzle and across much of scotland and northern ireland staying cloudy but to the north and west much more sunshine than yesterday and that will push into the north coast of northern ireland. brightening up compared with this morning for parts of northern england and north wales is high cloud eases. some low cloud and lincolnshire east anglia and the south—east which breaks up as it comes on land and temperatures 16 or 17. high stampjust comes on land and temperatures 16 or 17. high stamp just what the west of england and wales at 21 or 22 but still a bit suppressed in scotland
8:50 am
and northern ireland but here tonight the cloud will break up a bit more. still some spots of rain but most places dry. on eastern coast of england cloud will become more dominant later in the night and if you have the cloud a lot of it will determine how cold it will be. temperatures in a few spots down to three or a degrees and where is nine or ten. three or a degrees and where is nine orten. on three or a degrees and where is nine or ten. on monday the area of high pressure starts to nudge its way and on the fringes of it more cloud cloud in eastern scotland in the north of england and baby showers in north of england and baby showers in north and wales in the morning and please more likely as we go through monday but mostly dry with good long sunny spells and feeling warm and parts of southern and eastern scotland and northern ireland and england and wales with highest temperatures across herefordshire with worcestershire around 23 degrees. the chelsea flower show gets under way and great news for
8:51 am
the blues this year. blue skies will come and go overhead throughout the week and temperatures not too hot, not too cold. not too windy either. have a look at this, it is impressive. looking across the palace of westminster with the london eye. and we're going to see salford as well. a spiders web glistening. no, it's somebody�*s home, roger,. the great manchester
8:52 am
run takes place today on bbc one between 11 and one and the last appearance in manchester by mo farah. . he will run the great north run in newcastle at the end of the year. good luck to everyone taking part. an invasive species of carp usually found in asia and central and eastern europe is threating native fish in the uk. a specialist lab is now investigating how the prussian carp came to enter british waters and people are being urged to report any sightings of the species. our reporter zoie o'brien has more. on her own, she isn't much of a problem, but this prussian carp is part they are a non—native species
8:53 am
and these hardy fish are a real threat to our own carp. so this is a scale that we've removed from a prussian carp. by removing the scales, we can tell how old a fish is, but we can also work out the growth rate of that fish. scientists in this lab are trying to work out how the fish got here and the damage they could do. they've caused impacts to native fish species and and biodiversity. what they do know is that the female's eggs can be fertilized by other species, meaning they spread rapidly. what that effectively produces is clones oof the female. so exact clones of that fish? indeed, yes. according to the research carried out by the fisheries laboratory, the prussian carp arrived here in england at some point in the last ten years. now, since 2020, they've been found in seven different locations in england. we're still learning about the impact they're having on fisheries in the uk and that is why the work
8:54 am
being done at the lab here is so important. because we are seeing fish from all over the country we are really on the front line of being able to detect new and emerging diseases. so we have found a lot of things for the first time in this country. this specialist lab is paid for entirely by rod licence fees with the aim of protecting our waters. fisheries are a big business. it supports the suppliers, you know, the tackle suppliers and everything that surrounds it. and if a non—native species or disease or parasite gets into your fishery, that can have a huge impact and it can completely devastate those waters. and it might be pretty hard for anglers to tell the difference between this carp and, say, a brown goldfish. but they say here the silver rings around the eyes are a giveaway. if you do spot one, the advice is to let the environment agency know so they can track their progression and try to prevent the spread to protect our native species.
8:55 am
zoie o'brien, bbc news. we're joined now by martin salter, head of policy at the angling trust. these fish are a bit of a pest. can you explain why they are so troublesome?— you explain why they are so troublesome? .., , ., ., ., troublesome? the cause a lot of roblems troublesome? the cause a lot of problems in _ troublesome? the cause a lot of problems in europe _ troublesome? the cause a lot of problems in europe and - troublesome? the cause a lot of| problems in europe and marched across eastern europe but you'd thought britain being an island would be able to protect our borders from these problems much better than other countries with land borders but unfortunately there are unscrupulous people in the fisheries trade, fish dealers and some aspects of the trade who will offer fish species for sale at knockdown prices and those which are not allowed to be in this country, not native and they don't have fish movement orders and we say to angling clubs and fishery owners be very careful when you by fish stocks from and be on
8:56 am
the lookout for invasive species because from our point of view it is not so much the big carp that are the problem, that people love to fish for, there are other carp species which we have been working with the environment agency to protect habitat for a smaller and more vulnerable species for ponds and farm waters but all of this could be a threat if we have this species coming over here completely pushing out the native species and affecting and damaging the genetic integrity of the british carp. we applaud the work the fish lab have done. ., , ., .,, , applaud the work the fish lab have done. ., , ., , , ., ., done. you see at has been brought on b dealers done. you see at has been brought on by dealers who _ done. you see at has been brought on by dealers who brought _ done. you see at has been brought on by dealers who brought them - done. you see at has been brought on by dealers who brought them in - done. you see at has been brought on by dealers who brought them in and i by dealers who brought them in and saw them. have —— and sold them. have they been dumps? the

8:58 am
moment is to photograph one if you find them and send it to the agency so they can track movement and presumably at one point there will be a high—profile prosecution so people wilfully breaking fish movement legislation and moving non—native species around. we still really need to formulate policy about removing and destroying. we are not there yet but i think we are closing in on a policy which will really encourage anglers and the angling community to take a pretty tough stance in order to protect their genetic integrity of our native species.— their genetic integrity of our native species. certainly don't throw it back _ native species. certainly don't throw it back in _ native species. certainly don't throw it back in this _ native species. certainly don't throw it back in this what - native species. certainly don't throw it back in this what you | native species. certainly don't i throw it back in this what you are saying? t throw it back in this what you are sa inc ? ., �* throw it back in this what you are saying?_ the - throw it back in this what you are saying?_ the female i throw it back in this what you are i saying?_ the female eggs saying? i wouldn't. the female eggs can be fertilised _ saying? i wouldn't. the female eggs can be fertilised by _ saying? i wouldn't. the female eggs can be fertilised by any _ saying? i wouldn't. the female eggs can be fertilised by any other- can be fertilised by any other species, it is not species—specific so that makes it much easier for them to spread.—

so that makes it much easier for them to spread. that is why there are so incredibly _ them to spread. that is why there are so incredibly dangerous. - are so incredibly dangerous. therefore a candid unbelievable. —— there fecundity is unbelievable but there fecundity is unbelievable but the prussian carp are a threat because of their ability to clone themselves which is why tough action will need to be taken long term. that's all we've got time for this morning. breakfast will be back tomorrow at six. have a lovely day, bye for now.
