good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today... the prime minister speaks to his ethics adviser about the home secretary's handling of her speeding offence. in the wake of the death of head teacher ruth perry, experts call for the health and safety regulator to investigate every work—related suicide. are energy bills finally falling? later this week we find out the new energy price cap, with predictions that the average bill will come down by more than £400 a year. we take a look. former footballer graeme souness tells us why he's swimming the channel to raise awareness of a painful skin blistering condition

called epidermolysis bullosa. one down, two to go — an extraordinary acheievement, says pep guardiola, as manchester city lift their third premier league title in a row and set their sights on a famous treble. good morning. iam out i am out of the chelsea flower show in the samaritans garden.— in the samaritans garden. there are 36 aardens in the samaritans garden. there are 36 gardens here _ in the samaritans garden. there are 36 gardens here this _ in the samaritans garden. there are 36 gardens here this year. - in the samaritans garden. there are 36 gardens here this year. 12 - in the samaritans garden. there are 36 gardens here this year. 12 show. 36 gardens here this year. 12 show gardens. it is the hundred and i2 gardens. it is the hundred and 12 the year of the chelsea flower show. for all of us this week it is looking mostly dry with a fair bit of sunshine, and feeling pleasantly warm. details coming up. good morning. it's monday, 22nd may. our main story. the prime minister is to consult his adviser on ministerial interests after it emerged that the home secretary, suella braverman, sought advice from officials about arranging a private speed awareness course.

the offence took place last summer, and ms braverman later accepted three points on her licence and a fine. rishi sunak is facing demands from opposition parties for an investigation. we're joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson. the prime minister is promising a meeting at the moment, but that is as far as it goes right now? that meeting at the moment, but that is as far as it goes right now?- as far as it goes right now? that is riuht. as far as it goes right now? that is right- there _ as far as it goes right now? that is right- there is— as far as it goes right now? that is right. there is going _ as far as it goes right now? that is right. there is going to _ as far as it goes right now? that is right. there is going to be - as far as it goes right now? that is right. there is going to be a - right. there is going to be a conversation with his ethics adviser, and he will then decide whether an investigation ought to be lodged. but it is certainly what the opposition parties are calling for. labour said it should be investigated. to some extent the prime minister is in a difficult situation. if he doesn't do it, the opposition parties will say he is desperately weak. if he does do it, he risks potentially losing another government minister. the offence, if you like, has got nothing to do with

the speeding fine itself. but it's whether suella braverman decided to instruct her own civil servants to try to sort out a private speed awareness course as an alternative to the penalty. if she did, well, i'm afraid there was a very unhelpful intervention by a former very senior civil servant on the bbc last night, who said he believes in the surface of it she could have breached the ministerial code because they could be a conflict between her private interest and her public duties. it is that question, i think, that the independent adviser will be looking at if an investigation is launched. we will have to wait and see. but you can comment on any e—mails sent between her and civil servants. she will be facing questions to herself today in the house of commons. this will undoubtedly be raised and it will be very uncomfortable for her. also very uncomfortable for her. also very uncomfortable for rishi sunak,

who was clearly frustrated yesterday, at the end of a big international summit injapan, when international summit in japan, when he international summit injapan, when he was asked about the behaviour of his home secretary. it is he was asked about the behaviour of his home secretary.— his home secretary. it is going to be a busy day- — his home secretary. it is going to be a busy day. thank— his home secretary. it is going to be a busy day. thank you. - two leading academics have written an open letter calling for suicides, which may be work—related, to be investigated by the health and safety executive. writing in the british medical journal, the letter refers to the death of headteacher, ruth perry, following an ofsted inspection, and says this should lead to change. ofsted has described her death as a tragedy. here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys. ruth perry took her own life while waiting for an ofsted report. caversham primary was being graded inadequate. inspectors raised concerns about how children were kept safe. an inquest will look at events around ruth perry's death. it's provoked a bigger debate about teachers' mental health. suicides are not investigated by the health and safety executive. now two leading academics

are calling for that to change. every suicide is a tragedy for the family and friends of the individual, for the individual who loses their life. and if there are circumstances that could be tackled to prevent that happening, we have a responsibility to do something about them. but if you don't investigate, if you don't try to find what's happening, then you can't do that. in the british medicaljournal, they also say ofsted has a duty of care — a call welcomed by the family. we're saying to ofsted, we're saying to the department for education, we're saying to the government, we're not going away. this issue is not going away. ruth's death was not, sadly — however tragic it is to us — was not a one—off anomaly. ofsted has described ruth perry's death as a tragedy. it said it inspects first and foremost in the interests of children — professionally and sensitively, careful of the impact on staff.

branwen jeffreys, bbc news. ukraine's president zelensky is returning home from a meeting of g7 leaders injapan, after securing further promises of financial and military support. ukrainian forces are reported to be almost surrounding the eastern city of bakhmut, where a russian wagner mercenary group claims to have taken full control of the city. in a press conference at the summit mr zelensky insisted bakhmut is not occupied by russia. greece's conservative prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis has won the country's national elections, but failed to gain an outright majority. he's taken more than 40% of the vote and described the result as a "political earthquake". our europe correspondent nick beake is in athens. morning. nick, it's widely expected there will be another vote in the coming weeks?

morning. yeah, that is absolutely the case because the prime minister here, mr mitsotakis, is waking up very happy man because his centre—right party did much better than the pollsters predicted. and also, they said the opposition party would do much better. as it turned out support for syriza, the left—wing party, ebbed away. why is that? it seems the economy has been right at the heart of these. and it is quite a confusing picture because basically increase the economy is growing once again. remember all those years of eu bailouts of cuts to spending, high unemployment. that has been getting better. the picture has been getting better. the picture has been getting better. the picture has been improving. but when we went to the shops in the capital, athens, and the north of the country, people said they were not feeling it when they go on buy the weekly shop. the money does not go as far as it used to. that is something many people can identify with. it looks like

there will be another vote in a month. the prime minister is looking to get an outright majority under a new system that time around. thank ou ve new system that time around. thank you very much- _ george logan — who played dr evadne hinge in the musical comedy act hinge and bracket — has died at the age of 78. the duo, who always performed dressed as elderly women, were considered revolutionary for the drag scene in the late 70s, and fronted several tv and radio shows. the act's other half, patrick fyffe, died of cancer in 2002. you might remember we spoke to nine—year—old everton fan isaac, who's been taking on a special challenge this weekend, to sit in every one of the 39,414 seats at goodison park. well, he's completed the challenge.

that is not as easy as you think. that is not as easy as you think. that is not as easy as you think. that is quite a challenge. it's taken him and his friends two days. the money raised will go to the 0liver king foundation, which provides heart defibrillators in schools and other public places. so, congratulations to them. they are quite pleased with themselves. that is what you call teamwork. it was very warm at the weekend as well. that final burst of energy as well. that final burst of energy as well. well done. lovely to see. it is nine minutes past six. we are going to carol, who is somewhere completely beautiful this morning. she is at the chelsea flower show. good morning. good morning, everyone. you are quite right. i am in the samaritans listening garden. it evokes experiences for people who reach out to the samaritans. the

path through the garden has obstacles, like life. it can be overwhelming. but seen from a different perspective it can become a little less daunting. this path actually leads all the way to this area here, which is calming and relaxing. now here at the moment there is quite a bit of cloud in the south—east of england. that will tend to break as we go through the course of the day. more sunshine. for most of us today the forecast is a largely dry one, with some sunny spells. so, what we have to start with is a weak weather from the sinking south across scotland into northern england and wales. it has gotta be odd shower. and we have also got the cloud in the south—east. the cloud in the south—east. the cloud in the south—east will break up into sunny spells. a weather front will sing further south. spells. a weather front will sing furthersouth. it spells. a weather front will sing further south. it will remain cloudy in parts of south—east scotland and parts of northern england. where we have got the cloud that will roll back to the temperatures. generally we are looking about 11 in lerwick to 22 in the sunshine in plymouth.

that will feel pleasantly warm. as we head through the evening and overnight the weather front sinks further south, taking its cloud with eight. at the same time we have got more cloud romping in from the north—west. but in between clear skies. 0vernight lows between six and 10 degrees. not particularly cold for most. tomorrow once again we start off with cloud in the south. that will tend to break up. for much of the uk we are looking at a dry day with a fair bit of sunshine. variable cloud. cloud bubbling up through the day. temperatures up to 90 degrees. not quite as warm as today. but nonetheless, it will be pleasantly warm in any sunshine. —— i9 nonetheless, it will be pleasantly warm in any sunshine. —— 19 degrees. it looks like we are going to hang onto to dry unsettled weather for most of the week and into next weekend. that is brilliant news for people who like to get outside may be and do some gardening. thank you. so lovely to see carol in

the light as well and enjoying the sunshine. we've just heard about the benefits of gardening for your mental health. well, the charity growing well has teamed up with one of the busiest service stations in the uk to help supply fresh produce for its customers. 100 volunteers will be given the chance to work in the new kitchen garden at tebay services in cumbria, to help improve their mental wellbeing. megan paterson reports. nestled in the trees not far from the throng of the m6, and one of the nation's busiest service stations is growing well, where horticulture is therapy and volunteers develop green fingers as they nurture their mental health. my husband died by suicide last year, and it shattered my world. i needed to start to just find things that would help me through really dark periods.

and this just happened to be coming up at the time. and i thought, well, i'll give it a go. grief, depression, anxiety, all sifted through in these polytunnels, quiet chats over repotting, growing relationships over time. people are so lovely. they're so supportive, and it feels like such a safe, supportive environment for that reason. growing well took over the site here injanuary, gifted rent free by tebay services. the volunteers and their mentors have transformed it into a commercial garden, which will sustain the charity's future and help them focus on their own. people attend growing well on one day a week, same day each week. they work as part of a team. it's all about participation and the therapy here is the activity, which is getting really stuck in to the horticultural enterprise that we've got. we're going to be doing 50 to 100 kilos of salad mix a week. it's going straight up, straight on to the salad bar there in the services, so it's going to be great.

any one week in the propagation tunnel, they'll be doing, you know, upwards of 1000 seedlings a week. you know, we've got 400 tomato plants to put in, you know, courgette varieties, three or four different varieties of courgettes. i think everybody kind of understands you know, we're notjust going to be planting plants for the sake of it. i think a lot of volunteers feel that impact they've made, and knowing that that money goes back into the charity that has supported them, and that will hopefully support the next person that comes after them. produce sold in the busy kitchens and farm shop at the services will cover around 20% of the project running costs. to have vegetables that are growing literally a number of metres away from this building is really, really exciting. we have four million customers a year. and i think the opportunity to talk to our customers about growing well charity, about mental health, that's a really wonderful opportunity as well. when you talk about it, sharon, your whole face lights up. you clearly, clearly get loads from coming here? hugely, hugely.

i come in here if i'm having a difficult day. being around the people and the structure of the day is just super helpful. i always feel better at the end of the day when i go home. it's hoped every year up to 100 volunteers will come here, referred by gps or other mental health services, benefiting from support through the seasons. megan patterson, bbc news. such a good idea. lots of gardening stories this morning. we have. let's take a look at today's papers. the mirror is focusing on the row over the home secretary's speeding offence. the paper claims suella braverman�*s team denied the incident happened at all, when asked about it six weeks ago. meanwhile, the times' lead story says patients will be encouraged to use the nhs app to book private hospital appointments, as part of a new plan by the prime minister to cut waiting lists.

we are going to hearfrom labour about what they're planning to do the nhs as well. the front page of the daily mail says drug—driving is now more prevalent than drink—driving. the paper is referencing a police study which has found an average of 80 motorists a day are caught under the influence of drugs. and online, one of the most read stories on the bbc website is reporting that a guitar smashed by kurt cobain, the late frontman of us rock band nirvana, has sold at auction for nearly $600,000 — that's £480,000. the instrument was destroyed as the band were working on their break—out album in the early 1990s. it is in bits. half a million quid. what would it be worth if it was intact? i what would it be worth if it was intact? ~ , ., �* , intact? i think you're right. it is the story behind _

intact? i think you're right. it is the story behind it _ intact? i think you're right. it is the story behind it that - intact? i think you're right. it is the story behind it that makes. intact? i think you're right. it is| the story behind it that makes it worth so much. inside of the papers some people are going to love this from the daily mail. for sale, for £350,000 are not as much as kurt cobain�*s broken guitar, a proper life—size train set. it runs on a mile long figure eight loop and was built by the incredible adrian shooter, who was such a fan he constructed this track in the grounds of his north 0xfordshire home. this locomotive, said to be the world's oldest working steam train, the locomotive is being sold for £200,000 and everything else is being installed as well. was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2022 and it —— died in december. that is an incredible thing. in 2022 and it -- died in december. that is an incredible thing.- that is an incredible thing. proper train sets- — that is an incredible thing. proper train sets. wow. _ that is an incredible thing. proper train sets. wow. these _ that is an incredible thing. proper train sets. wow. these pictures . that is an incredible thing. proper. train sets. wow. these pictures are rather stunning in the daily express. taken on the so—called jurassic coast in cornwall and devon. you can only see this,

apparently, from a drum. you want to see it if you turn up there. but an artist by the name of... i was going to say david attenborough, but we know who he is, don't we? the name is gone. he painted with environmentally friendly paint of these pictures of dinosaurs into the rocks. you can see them from above. it is really spectacular. it’s it is really spectacular. it's beautiful. _ it is really spectacular. it's beautiful. you've - it is really spectacular. it's beautiful. you've got - it is really spectacular. it's beautiful. you've got a - beautiful. you've got a tyrannosaurus - beautiful. you've got a tyrannosaurus rex - beautiful. you've got a - tyrannosaurus rex there... and beautiful. you've got a _ tyrannosaurus rex there... and david attenborough — tyrannosaurus rex there... and david attenborough is _ tyrannosaurus rex there... and david attenborough is involved? _ tyrannosaurus rex there... and david attenborough is involved? no, - tyrannosaurus rex there. .. and david attenborough is involved? no, it- tyrannosaurus rex there... and david attenborough is involved? no, it is. attenborough is involved? no, it is the only name _ attenborough is involved? no, it is the only name i — attenborough is involved? no, it is the only name i could _ attenborough is involved? no, it is the only name i could see. - attenborough is involved? no, it is the only name i could see. david . the only name i could see. david p°p5 the only name i could see. david popsis the only name i could see. david pops is the name of the artist. 18 pops is the name of the artist. 13 minutes past six. last month, former liverpool and scotland captain graeme souness stepped away from punditry after nearly 20 years. but he's already back in training. it's not football though —

this time he's taking on an entirely new challenge for a cause close to his heart. he's been telling us all about it. he's renowned as a forthright, uncompromising and highly successful footballer, manager and pundit. but this is graeme souness, as you have never seen him before. and that's because he's venturing miles outside his comfort zone. 21 miles, in fact, as he prepares to swim the english channel with andy grist, whose daughter isla has a rare genetic disorder. she's just unbelievably courageous and brave and strong, and it's the most horrendous disease. and if you're inflicted by it, you must wake up every morning and say, why me? i mean, it's a desperate situation. and then — sorry. and then, the parents

have to deal with that. and that's why we're doing it. epidermolysis bullosa is a degenerative condition that attacks children's organs and development. ali, you're 14. yes. and you've gone through so much in your short life. far more than anyone should ever so far. what's been the worst part? i had plastic surgery on my hands. they basically separated the fingers and straightened them, which they've gone back to their cell. can i touch? yeah. so you've still got — your fingers are still there? yeah, my fingers are still there. they're just all cased in the skin. it was his first meeting with isla four years ago that brought eb, as it's known, to graeme's attention. since then, they have stayed in touch. you're at your worst when your bandages changed? yes. and you have to take pretty strong drugs. so just, when you're having that

done, so, obviously you're... do you scream ? yeah. and what does she do? well, i'm elevated in the air, and she can't give me cuddles. but... does she leave the room, or does she...? no. she either sleeps on the floor, or she sleeps on the other bed and watches. but she wants to be with you? yes. so when you're... 0r she's chasing the cat. how many how many days a week would you have your bandages changed? three times a week. and that's really painful? yes. on a scale of one to ten? i'd say 11. particularly, it causes skin to break out in extremely painful blisters, outside and inside their bodies. and often that means permanent, debilitating pain. so, clean your teeth — if you get blisters inside your mouth,

clean your teeth? it's actually really hard to brush my teeth. i tend not to use a brush. ijust swirl some mouthwash around, which isn't great for my teeth, but it's what i have to do. there is no cure. and so presently, treatment centers on pain relief. medical staff describe it as one of the cruelest conditions children can have. everyone also wants i to do their very best. so it's a real sort of privilege to to work with them. - i feel emotional when talk about it. but i mean, it is emotional, because it's a long journey. | and many of the families we look i after from birth, until 16 or 17. i so there are many ups and many downs during the ebjourney. _ so now a team of relay swimmers are putting themselves through the pain and sacrifice of the swim, to raise awareness of deborah, the charity for children with eb. it's exciting just raising awareness and funds for deborah. it's something that's much needed

and we need to get on top of this condition because it's brutal. once you get going it gets a bit easier. but nothing compared to eb. training for the summer crossing is intensifying. a session in a london skyline pool included advice from olympic champion rebecca adlington. your hips and your whole bodyl rotates round, which is why you find it easier. when you're doing the sides that you're not comfortable with, - you almost just do that. 0k. so it's like, oh, oh, _ iinstead of the whole of your body rotating round. through the cold the swell of the sea and the dark. graeme, andy and the team will battle the elements, and themselves, to achieve their goal. but they don't lack inspiration. the courage, the determination and the stoicism shown by isla and other children with eb, will be the energy that drives them on. so can ijust have a little squeeze?

sally nugent, bbc news. isn't that interesting? i'd never heard of the condition before. graeme souness is really passionate about helping children diagnosed with it. graeme, isla and andy will be joining us after eight. do keep watching. what a challenge he has got in store. but what a good cause. we promise to more gardening, more sunshine. still to come on breakfast... we'll immersing ourselves in the amazing garden designs at the rhs chelsea flower show as the event marks its 110th year. if you enjoy gardening with minimum effort for maximum reward, then you're in luck, as that's one of the themes, along with the value of green spaces for our health and wellbeing. we'll take a look at some of the award winners at quarter to seven.

i think there is chelsea minimum effort and varies the rest of us. which is no effort at all. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. a public consultation will be held to decide on the location for a specialist children's cancer centre. it will either be expanded at its current site in st george's hospital in tooting, where the service has so far been for more than 25 years, or moved to evelina hospital in lambeth. the local mp has today launched her own petition t retain the children's cancer services at st george's. i am under no doubt that the first—class services offered here save lives, and i think it's imperative that the cancer services stay at st george's. passengers can now travel directly from essex to heathrow as the elizabeth line's full peak timetable starts today.

there will now be six trains an hour going into the airport and up to 24 an hour running between paddinton and whitechapel. it marks the final completion of the crossrail project, and comes a year after the line first opened to passengers. investigations are continuing into the cause of a fire that destroyed a house near stansted. the fire broke out in the middle of saturday night in takeley. at its height, five fire crews were at the property, with the stansted airport fire service also helping. the fire service says it started in an outbuilding and spread to the roof of the house. today marks ten years since the murder of fusilier lee rigby in south east london by religious extremists. michael adebolajo and michael adebowale are both now serving life sentences after carrying out the attack. people have started to lay flowers and tributes in woolwich to mark anniversary. when i heard it, ifelt sick to my stomach, and i thought,

how could this even happen on the streets of our capital? how could this happen to him? and itjust stuck with me. i've been town every year. every year. and i always make it, you know. just to make sure that he's remembered. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are severe delays on thejubillee line at the moment, but there's a good service on all the other the tubes this morning. now on to the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there's plenty of fine, dry and sunny weather in the forecast this week as high—pressure is in charge. this morning a fair amount of cloud around, but that should start to break as we head further through the day. you can see the cloud first thing breaking up, leading to some lengthy spells of sunshine. still some fair weather cloud around, and still a northerly breeze. but temperatures getting up to 21 celsius in the sunshine. so, leading to a pleasant evening. some late sunshine, and then overnight, it's dry and it's clear, at least to start with. we will see a bit of cloud drifting south through the middle part of the night. minimum temperature, seven celsius. now, high pressure you can see

remains in charge for tuesday, so very similar conditions. any cloud in the morning will break up. lengthy spells of sunshine. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the middle part of the day, but that burning back into the evening. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 19 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, it is looking largely dry. sunshine. the wind a little lighter, and temperatures in the low 20s. that's all from us for now, but there's more on all these stories on our website and the bbc news app. we'll be back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. goodbye. hello, this is bbc breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. it is coming up to half past six. we've talked a lot about high energy bills in the last year or so and the problems and hardships it has been causing households. wholesale energy prices are starting to fall, which means we could have seen the worst of the sky—high prices. nina can tell us more.

yes, hopefully. when you look back at the last year, along with going to the supermarket and looking at the inflated food prices, it has been energy bills that have really put a scare into many households. but there's some hope that energy bills will come down soon. this week 0fgem, the energy regulator, will set the new amount for its energy price cap forjuly until september. just a reminder — that's the maximum amount energy providers can charge a typical household. and another reminder — yours could be more or less depending on how much you use. at the moment the 0fgem cap is over £3,000 a year. we pay less than that because the government's energy price guarantee — their own price cap — limits average bills to £2,500 a year. but that support will end next month. so what will happen to bills?

predictions suggest 0fgem's new price cap will come in atjust over £2,000. so that's a big reduction, around £450 for the average household. and it could move us back into a position where suppliers are once again fighting for our business. heading in a better direction, but still a long way from pre—pandemic levels. the new price cap expected to be more than £1,000 higher than it was in 2020. but any fall will still be a relief to many customers, who've become used to paying eye—watering bills over the last year or so, as hannah miller has been finding out. at this community pantry, families are used to shopping around for a good deal. but when it comes to energy bills, how do they feel about what's been on offer recently? the little government grants have been quite helpful, so it's been good that they've been coming in. and hopefully it'll start to sort itself out soon. this i'm happy with my supplier.

i'm just not happy that they keep your money. they're still taking money out of the account rather than just freeze it for a couple of months. but no, they still take more and more money out. so it hasn't actually been too bad. it has gone up, but not drastically. are you interested in shopping around at all? um, so personally i'm not great at doing that. - i'm quite, don't like change. and it's better the devil you know. the price cap is expected to come down to £2,060 injuly, meaning lower bills for most of us. and with suppliers expecting energy prices to become more stable, it's thought they might start offering more fixed—rate deals for households. really? ok, that's not very good. consumer groups would like to see more options on the market. at the moment, we're all pretty much just paying the variable rates, which means that our bills change every time the price cap changes, and that's affected by all sorts of things in the energy market. so at which? we certainly hope to see

fixed deals return. we hope to see consumers be able to make some choices in the market and to actually see some competition come back. that's been missing for a long time. but it will depend on where energy prices head next. the rate they're paying at this community boxing club has more than trebled in the past couple of years, but better options are becoming available. we're trying to switch as we speak, yeah. so the rates are still... they're a lot better than than what they are at 70p per kilowatt hour per unit. they're a lot better than that. but they're still a lot higher than than pre—covid levels. but it seems like... we're coming to a bad time where i think if there's more certainty at their end, then it allows us... you know, that then is passed down. and while it will take time for energy suppliers to start offering new deals,

many hope it will be good for customers when they start fighting it out for business again. hannah miller, bbc news. we want to hear from you this morning. maybe you feel the predicted reduction isn't enough. perhaps you are considering switching your energy provider. get in touch via whatsapp. scan the bar code here to start a chat. or email us. and i'll be putting your questions to an expert a little later on. and of course if you are worried about the rising cost of living, there's help and advice available on the cost of living section of the bbc news website. i don't know about you, guys, but i love a price comparison, so if we are moving into the territory where

hangover put to bed when they won 1-0. with the hangover put to bed when they won 1—0. with the goals from erling haaland, the stats are amazing, and we are all talking about the trouble. it is very much on. there is one gap in that trophy cabinet, and it is the one they want above everything else, but they have got the premier league now. pep look tired yesterday, didn't he? yes, good morning. manchester city were presented with the premier league trophy for the fifth time in six seasons yesterday. focus will now turn to the treble with the fa cup and champions league finals to come. joe wilson reports on a celebratory day at the etihad stadium. #we # we are the champions... relax for a few hours. the strict sports science might have been abandoned for some old—fashioned celebration last night. manchester city kept winning. against chelsea, erling haaland was rested, substitute

julian alvarez scored. abundant money buys good players, but at manchester city they often get better. all driven by the manager's relentless energy normally. haifa better. all driven by the manager's relentless energy normally.- better. all driven by the manager's relentless energy normally. now i am so tired! i'm — relentless energy normally. now i am so tired! i'm so _ relentless energy normally. now i am so tired! i'm so tired. _ relentless energy normally. now i am so tired! i'm so tired. come _ relentless energy normally. now i am so tired! i'm so tired. come from - so tired! i'm so tired. come from bayern munich, champions league, real madrid, you cannot drop points, and now it is done. but, yes, we had to do it, and hopefully the players can sustain this rhythm and play the two finals. manchester city's name is still missing from one illustrious list. liverpool, manchester united, chelsea, nottingham forest, aston villa, all english teams who have also been european champions. and thatis also been european champions. and that is manchester city's next objective. of course, the fa cup final matters, especially against manchester united, but to do this with a champions league trophy in

hand, that's the goal. it's why the league title is the start this season, not the end. joe wilson, bbc manchester city. big sam says it's a big ask if leeds are to beat the drop. allardyce, who has built a reputation for keeping teams up, saw his side lose 3—1 to west ham. but three seasons after getting promoted, they'll be back in the championship next weekend if they don't beat spurs, and even then that might not be enough if results go against them. next week has to be much, much better than those two games to beat tottenham, and that's all we can do. all the players need to do is roll their sleeves up, apply themselves in the right way, and trying and beat tottenham and hope the other result has gone in their favour. brighton will be enjoying european football next season after a 3—1 victory over southampton. their manager, roberto de zerbi, says that achievement is more prestigious than winning the title

with a top six club. in the scottish premiership, rangers beat hibernian 3—1. that result all but ends hibs' hopes of finishing in third place. james tavernier scored rangers's first goal. it has come too late to prevent stop them hitting the title. in the wsl chelsea remain favourites for the title, but manchester united ensured the race of that crown will go to the final day of the season with a late victory over rivals mancheter city. hayley ladd gave united the lead afterjust two minutes before filippa angeldahl levelled for the visitors in the second half, but late pressure from united eventually told with lucia garcia forcing home an injury time winner in a 2—1 triumph. chelsea are in pole position to be crowned wsl champions again. they beat arsenal 2—0 thanks to goals from guru reiten and this from captain maglaena eriksson,

playing in herfinal home game for the club before she departs this summer. a win at reading on the final day will see chelsea win their fourth successive title. there was a thrilling end to the scottish women's premier league season too. any one of glasgow city, celtic, or rangers could have won the title yesterday. two of those were going head to head, rangers playing city at ibrox. glasgow getting a late goal and the win they needed to pip their rivals. and the party started. the real madrid superstar viniciusjunior says the spanish league "belongs to racists" after being subjected to racist chants at valencia. he said it's normal in the competition. he said "the championship that once belonged to ronaldinho, ronaldo, cristiano and messi today belongs to racists," he wrote on social media. the league's organisers said they

will investigate the incident. manager carlo ancelotti says the game should have been stopped because of racist abuse directed at his player. brooks koepka won the us pga championship overnight, the third men's golf major of the year. holding off viktor hovland and scott scheffelder in the final round to finish two shots clear on nine under and claim his fifth major title. he is one of those that plays on the rival breakaway liv tour. rory mcilroy finished on two under, seven off the lead. moment of the day though came from michael block. a stunning hole in one on the 15th during his final round, with the ball not even bouncing, straight in to the hole. it is like a magic trick! unbelievable. he asked rory who he was playing with, did it go in? if you are that far back on the ball drops in, you arejust not sure, are you? disappearing act for a magic ball, that's what it was.

and potentially an emotional day for mark cavendish today — it's being widely reported the cyclist will announce his retirement later today. the manxman, who turned 38 on sunday, is currently competing in the giro d'italia, but has called a press conference for later today. it's expected that he will reveal his decision to stop cycling at the end of the year. but will enjoy one last hurrah at the tour de france injuly. one more stage win and he will become the outright record holder for the highest number of tour stage wins ahead of eddy merckx. they're currently tied on 34. what a way to bow out that would be. a big end to the season for him. but what a career. you think, success on the road, on the track, and it hasn't always been easy for him. to come back, and if he can go on and actually get the one that would see him stand alone with that record, that would be great. pressure. isn't it? it feels like he has been around forever. thank you very much indeed. 6.41.

after more than a year of painstaking work, the restoration of one of the country's largest cathedral organs is nearly complete. all that's left to do now, is re—tune every one of its 5,000 pipes — one at a time. 0ur reporter alex dunlop has been to norwich to have a look at how the project is coming along. in the heart of norwich cathedral, they're piecing together a 3d musicaljigsaw. after a £1.8 million rebuild by experts in durham, this 124—year—old organ is now being fine—tuned. to tune these pipes, we use our reed knife there to knock the spring higher or lower. and the lower we knock it, the lower the pitch will sound. it's a labour of love, organ voicing. and you do pour yourself into it, and we pour our

heart and soul into it. every single one of the organ's 5,767 pipes will have to be tuned, or voiced, as they call it, from this tiny little one, the smallest, to this, the biggest — 32 feet. little wonder it's going to take up to ten weeks. cathedral organist david dunnett on the original instrument before it was taken apart. while it was given some serious tlc, the master of music, ashley groet, has had to play this digital organ. it sounds lovely, but it's no substitute for the real thing. the organ is really at the heart of the music here, and it's really, the music is at the heart of the worship. nearly half the pipes are being replaced. will it essentially be the same organ? that's an interesting question, because i think the heart of the organ is very much the same, and it is a rebuilding of the existing instrument rather than a brand—new instruments.

you don't realise how much a part of the life of worship _ of the cathedral the pipe organ is until it's no longer there. - to have that organic instrument back will make a huge difference. - while the organ is voiced, visitors are being asked to keep as quiet as possible so that andrew and his team can get these pipes pitch—perfect. when we walk away from this project for the last time on the last day, we will be leaving part of ourselves behind, just as we do on every project that we work on. i know it's still being rebuilt. you're sitting at the keyboard, yourfingers must be itching. well, i can give you a little tinkle. we haven't got the actual stop heads yet, but some of the pipes have been worked on already. a little taster, yes. but it's all sounding magnificent. this historic organ will heave its mighty musical lungs injuly, ready for a so—called reborn concert in the autumn. alex dunlop, bbc news.

lovely stuff. this year's rhs chelsea flower show is getting under way — and king charles will visit later for the first time since he became monarch. preparations have been months in the making, as garden designers vie for the show�*s top prizes — but this year, the historically male—dominated event will have more women competitors than men for the first time. daniela relph reports. a feminine touch — there is more of it than ever before. 58% of exhibitors this year are women. a wider range of categories and celebrating different kinds of gardens has helped. on main avenue, though — home to the spectacular show gardens — it is still mostly male designers at work. but in the grand pavilion, there is a garden dedicated to women and their contribution to horticulture. where possible, female growers have been used,

and it's an all—women design team. has horticulture been seen as a man's world in the past? it's a really interesting question because it's often argued that it is a man's world. and, i mean, if you look at main avenue, there tend to be more men than women there. so i think it sort of depends who you ask. but ultimately, to me, women are integral in the history of horticulture. so it's all really beginning to come together, isn't it? you feeling happy with all the...how it is? it really... absolutely, absolutely. we've got so much texture and froth here and we've got... and the bees! the bees throughout on some of the flowers... the bees are absolutely loving it. this is the garden of unity. it's designed as a space for everyone. scattered around a wooden post with information in braille about the plants and flowers. the message from the designer here — gardening is something everybody can access. chelsea has often felt like a very white place to be. yeah. do you feel in the world of horticulture, in the world of garden shows, that that is shifting? i very much think so,

that it is shifting. especially the fact that i am now the ambassador for inclusivity and diversity. and i hope that i can be that light and that torch for other communities to see me doing gardens like this, doing myjudging at chelsea. chelsea is, of course, all about the show. building gardens on site can be an ambitious undertaking, manoeuvring every element into place. there will be a touch of nostalgia too. the queen's visit to chelsea last year — in an adapted golf buggy — was one of her last public appearances. she'd been here more than 50 times during her reign and her support of the show will be remembered. this is the royal tribute garden. the teams who work with the royal family on their gardens have advised what to plant — favourites of the late queen and king charles. we're sitting in the section

at the back of the garden, and what i've tried to do is create an area here where it's calmer colours and it's a more peaceful setting so that this is the section where we can remember the late queen. and as we sit here, we look towards the front of the garden, and that's where the king's preferred planting is going to be, and, looking forward and looking towards the future. the chelsea flower show is evolving. balcony and container gardens will again feature strongly this year. it is an event that wants to prove that gardening is good for all of us. daniela relph, bbc news, chelsea flower show. it looks glorious 30 today, doesn't it? carol is at the rhs chelsea flower show with this morning's weather. you also have the stories of the amazing gardens you have been looking around. good morning. goad looking around. good morning. good mornin: , looking around. good morning. good morning. sally _ looking around. good morning. good morning, sally and _ looking around. good morning. good morning, sally and jon. _ looking around. good morning. good morning, sally and jon. i _ looking around. good morning.

(emf. morning, sally and jon. i am now in the centre garden. it represents the

work that the charity does with young people facing homelessness. there are 120,000 dots on this mural, and that represents more than 120,000 young people facing homelessness last year. the garden itself shows the ruin of a home represented by this tree, so that might seem daunting, but all the plants around it represents a new life that can be born from this situation, so it is not hopeless at all. and last night, there was a tentin all. and last night, there was a tent in this particular garden, and inside that tent is tv personality vicky pattison who has been sleeping out overnight, again further representing this message that the charity are putting across. and i can tell you it has been a chilly start to the day here at the chelsea flower show this morning, so i hope she was wrapped up warm. it is

cloudy here today, but the forecast for the chelsea flower show for the next three days is a dry one with sunny intervals, so where we have got cloud at the moment, the sun will come out and we will have highs of 19 or 20. the forecast for us all todayis of 19 or 20. the forecast for us all today is a largely dry one with sunny spells. we are starting with the cloud in the south—east which will break, and we also have a weather front which is will break, and we also have a weatherfront which is moving will break, and we also have a weather front which is moving across scotland, northern england and wales. that is producing one or two isolated showers, and the cloud will break up too, but it will remain across south—east scotland and north—east england. either side of that we are looking at sunny intervals, with highs of 11 in the north to 22 in the south—west. that will fall pleasantly warm in the sunshine. as we head through this evening and overnight, the weather front continues to sink southwards across england and wales, more cloud romps in across the far north of scotland, and in between there will be some clear spells, temperatures

falling away roughly two 6—9. we pick up that weather front drifting south, odd isolated showers possible in the midlands and wales, north—east england, but they will be the exception rather than the rule, and then more cloud coming on across the north—west of scotland and here it will also be breezy. temperatures tomorrow up to about 20 degrees. 0n tomorrow up to about 20 degrees. on wednesday, what we have is another new weather front coming in across the north west introducing rain and strengthening winds across north—west scotland, and eventually is that sinks south we will see some drizzle getting into northern ireland. but for england and wales, it will be dry, fair weather cloud bubbling up through the course of the day, and by then, somewhere in the day, and by then, somewhere in the sunshine could hit 23 degrees, so it is getting that bit warmer in the ensuing couple of days, compared to today and also tomorrow. and it looks very much like for the rest of this week, with high pressure in charge, most of us will get away

with a dry week with sunny spells. which is lovely for chelsea. it is amazing how established those gardens look, so quickly. it looks like it has been there forever, and yet it is built especially for this week. ., ., ., , , , week. you are absolutely right. they to week. you are absolutely right. they i o u . week. you are absolutely right. they no u- in a week. you are absolutely right. they go no in a flash. _ week. you are absolutely right. they go up in a flash, and _ week. you are absolutely right. they go up in a flash, and they _ week. you are absolutely right. they go up in a flash, and they come - week. you are absolutely right. they| go up in a flash, and they come down in a flash, and a lot of the gardens are taken away elsewhere and rehomed. but they look like they have been here for years, don't they quest white and you love this week, so we look forward to seeing more of it with you later. it's more than half a century since sally ann howes drove into the pond in that famous scene from the film chitty chitty bang bang. it was terrifying, that film, with the child catcher! now a plaque has been unveiled at russell's water in 0xfordshire — in memory of the screen and stage

star who died in december 2021. steve humphrey sent this report. # bang bang, chitty chitty bang bang... they turned the clock back 55 years, as with great excitement chitty chitty bang bang once again arrived in the village of russell's water in 0xfordshire, along with the original humber car that was so memorably driven into the pond here by sally ann howes, who played the character truly scrumptious. successful on screen, stage and particularly in musicals, sally ann howes was 91 when she passed away. she was glamorous, and i think it's fair to say she was truly scrumptious in all aspects of her life. she was this larger—than—life character. i think as i see the cars and everyone, i think talking to people, i think that's where you feel it, where you feel that everyone else kind of knew her in their own way and had their own relationship with the film. and that's... that's really special. back in 1968, jan and bob warner had a front—row seat for the filming. they still live in a house opposite the pond. how long were they here? i mean, such a long time

for that short sketch. yeah. how long, you're better at remembering than me how long they were here. i reckon three or four weeks or more. jan and bob remember chatting to sally ann howes and her co—star, dick van dyke. back in 1968, the movie makers made a few changes to the pond to make it easier for the car to run into the water. and apparently during filming, they also had a few problems getting the ducks in the right place at the right time. to remind people about sally ann howes and the filming that took place here, they unveiled a plaque near the village pond. fans of chitty chitty bang bang say it's a movie that has stood the test of time. it's a fantastic film. it's got everything you need. it's got music, it's got colour, it's all about, i you know, saving the day. he told me it's going to fly. the cars from the movie are on display at the national motor museum in beaulieu. steve humphrey, bbc news.

they're going the wrong way! still to come this morning... a veteran who lost both his legs in afghanistan has become the first double above—the—knee amputee to reach the top of mount everest. hari budha magar is a former soldier in the gurkha regiment and took on the challenge to "inspire others" and change perceptions of disability. we'll hearfrom him at 8:40. loads more to come, including an interview with sir keir starmer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. a public consultation will be held to decide on the location for a specialist children's cancer centre.

it will either be expanded at its current site in st george's hospital in tooting, where the service has been for more than 25 years, or moved to evelina hospital in lambeth. the local mp has today launched her own petition to retain the services at st george's. i am under no doubt that the first—class services offered here save lives, and i think it's imperative that the cancer services stay at st george's. investigations are continuing into the cause of a fire that destroyed a house near stansted. it broke out in the middle of saturday night in takeley. at its height five fire crews were at the property. the stansted airport fire service were also called to help. it's thought the fire started in an outbuilding and spread to the roof of the house today marks ten years since the murder of fusilier lee rigby in south east london by religious extremists. michael adebolajo and michael adebowale are both now serving life sentences after carrying out the attack.

people have started to lay flowers and tributes in woolwich to mark anniversary. my my son is in the army. i remember the day when i heard he died. i remember clearly on the radio. when i heard it, ifelt sick to my stomach, and i thought, how could this even happen on the streets of our capital? how could this happen to him? passengers can now travel directly from essex to heathrow, as the elizabeth line's full peak timetable starts today. there will now be six trains an hour going into the airport, and up to 24 an hour running between paddington and whitechapel. it marks the final completion of the crossrail project, and comes a year after the line first opened to passengers. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended — that's due to an earlier power supply problem in stratford. but there's a good service on all the other lines now onto the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. there's plenty of fine, dry and sunny weather in the forecast this week as high—pressure is in charge. this morning a fair amount of cloud around, but that should start to break as we head further through the day. you can see the cloud first thing breaking up, leading to some lengthy spells of sunshine. still some fair weather cloud around, and still a northerly breeze. but temperatures getting up to 21 celsius in the sunshine. so, leading to a pleasant evening. some late sunshine, and then overnight, it's dry and it's clear, at least to start with. we will see a bit of cloud drifting south through the middle part of the night. minimum temperature, seven celsius. now, high pressure you can see remains in charge for tuesday, so very similar conditions. any cloud in the morning will break up. lengthy spells of sunshine. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the middle part of the day, but that burning back into the evening. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 19 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, it is looking largely dry. the wind a little lighter, and temperatures in the low 20s. that's all from us for now.

we'll be back in half an hour. but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the prime minister speaks to his ethics adviser about the home secretary's handling of her speeding offence.

in the wake of the death of head teacher ruth perry, experts call for the health and safety regulator to investigate every work—related suicide. six years on from the manchester arena bombing, we hearfrom young people caught up in the attack who say they haven't received mental health support. 0ne down, two to go — an extraordinary achievement, says pep guardiola, as manchester city lift their third premier league title in a row and set their sights on a famous treble. good morning. iamat i am at the chelsea flower show, where the sun is now bursting through the cloud. we are in the g —— in the nurture landscapes garden, focused on sustainability, a theme

that runs through all the show gardens. the weather? well, for most of us it is going to be a dry day with some sunshine. there will be areas of cloud. if you are under that cloud, temperatures will be that cloud, temperatures will be that bit lower. details coming up later. good morning. it's monday, 22nd may. the prime minister is to consult his adviser on ministerial interests, after it emerged that the home secretary, suella braverman, sought advice from officials about arranging a private speed awareness course. the offence took place last summer and ms braverman later accepted three points on her licence and a fine. rishi sunak is facing demands from opposition parties for an investigation. we're joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson. iain, pressure is growing on the prime minister to do more? that's right, sally. a very difficult position for the prime minister to be in. let's be clear,

this has nothing to do with the home secretary getting points on her licence for speeding. the whole question is whether she was instructing, or exhorting, her own civil servants to try to arrange a private speed awareness course as an alternative to picking up at those points. why does that matter? why is it important? well, as a very senior, former senior civil servant, told the bbc last night, if there is a conflict between your private interests and your public duties as a minister, that may mean you have breached the ministerial code. that does not automatically lead to resignation but it can do so. remember, rishi sunak�*s administration is littered with former ministers. dominic raab, gavin williamson, nadhim zahawi, they have all gone. to some extent i think you would probably want to hold onto this home secretary can accept, as you say, he is under political pressure from labour to launch an investigation, under pressure from the liberal democrats to go to the house of commons himself and answer questions about

this. and in addition to that, he himself looked hugely frustrated at the end of the press conference at the end of the press conference at the end of that big international summit injapan, when he was asked questions about suella braverman. there are underlying tensions about how they deal with the migration issue as well. if he does go down the road of having an investigation, the road of having an investigation, the ethics adviser will get to the bottom of it by looking at the e—mail is perhaps sent by suella braverman to go civil servants. speaking to summary close to this morning, they say very clearly she did not instruct her civil servants to get her own private speed awareness course. she simply asked for advice on what to do under the circumstances and they suggest she has got no case to answer. thank you very much. two leading academics have written an open letter calling for suicides, which may be work—related, to be investigated by the health and safety executive. writing in the british medical journal, the letter refers to the death of headteacher ruth perry following an

0fsted inspection, and says this should lead to change. 0fsted has described her death as a tragedy. here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys. ruth perry took her own life while waiting for an ofsted report. caversham primary was being graded inadequate. inspectors raised concerns about how children were kept safe. an inquest will look at events around ruth perry's death. it's provoked a bigger debate about teachers' mental health. suicides are not investigated by the health and safety executive. now two leading academics are calling for that to change. every suicide is a tragedy for the family and friends of the individual, for the individual who loses their life. and if there are circumstances that could be tackled to prevent that happening, we have a responsibility to do something about them. but if you don't investigate, if you don't try to find what's happening, then you can't do that. in the british medicaljournal,

they also say 0fsted has a duty of care — a call welcomed by the family. we're saying to 0fsted, we're saying to the department for education, we're saying to the government, we're not going away. this issue is not going away. ruth's death was not, sadly — however tragic it is to us — was not a one—off anomaly. 0fsted has described ruth perry's death as a tragedy. it said it inspects first and foremost in the interests of children — professionally and sensitively, careful of the impact on staff. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. ukraine's president zelensky is returning home from a meeting of g7 leaders injapan, after securing further promises of financial and military support. ukrainian forces are reported to be almost surrounding bakhmut, where a russian wagner mercenary group claims to have taken

full control of the city. those pictures we were showing you aware of the greek conservative prime minister, creat gus mitsotakis, who has won the national elections. —— kyriakos mitsotakis. we can speak to james landale from kyiv about the summit injapan. what kyiv about the summit in japan. what does it kyiv about the summit injapan. what does it mean on the ground? reports about who is in control of bakhmut? look, it is very hard to know. there is claim, counterclaim. we can verify some of what is said with satellite images and geo— located photographs, but ultimately we have to rely on military commanders from both sides. what we think is the case is that russia, as it has done for several weeks, controls the vast majority of the administrative sector of the city. when we spoke to

ukrainian commanders yesterday, that they said things like, there is an insignificant area held by ukrainian forces. 0ne also said that ukrainian forces. 0ne also said that ukrainian forces arejust in forces. 0ne also said that ukrainian forces are just in a few buildings. but i think before we start using words like victory, you've got to remember that what russia now controls there is largely ruins. it has taken them eight months to get there, tens of thousands of russian soldiers have died in the process, many more have been injured and many more have been sucked in from other parts of the battlefield. at the same time ukrainian forces appear to be advancing and making some gains to the north and south of the outskirts of that city. with the aim, they hope, of trying to encircle russian forces. i think the story of bakhmut is not over yet. james, thank you for now. george logan — who played dr evadne hinge in the musical comedy act hinge and bracket — has died at the age of 78. # we'll gather lilacs in the spring # and walk together down

an english lane...# the duo, who always performed dressed as elderly women, were considered revolutionary for the drag scene in the late seventies, and fronted several tv and radio shows. the act's other half, patrick fyffe, died of cancer in 2002. you might remember we recently spoke to a nine—year—old everton fan isaac, who has been taking on a special challenge this weekend, to sit in every single one of the 39,414 seats at goodison park. there is having a sit down at the weekend, and there is doing this! well, he has done it. he has completed the challenge. it took him and his friends two days. but the money that they raise, just a couple more to 90, they raise, just a couple more to go, yes! the money will go to the 0liver king foundation, which provides heart defibrillators in

schools and other public places. bless them! that is my favourite bit of the programme today, these lights having the time of their lives. just keep going. well done. nine minutes past seven. now the weather with carol, who's at chelsea flower show this morning. morning. good morning. you're right. it is beautiful. the weather has been very kind as well. we are in the nurture landscapes guarding, very much developed through the theme of sustainability, as all the show gardens here at chelsea are this year. things like canvas and rubble. it is a social space for relaxing. as you can see from the beautiful irises, it is a stunning garden. lots of stunning gardens here. later on this morning we have got a chelsea flower show first. there is going to be a wedding

taking place. that is in one of the garden isjust down taking place. that is in one of the garden is just down there, which we will bring you closer to nine o'clock. and later again, the king and queen are going to be visiting the chelsea flower show. so lots going on here today. the forecast for us all today is actually going to be a largely dry one. there will be sunny spells. the sun is breaking through the cloud here at the moment. and for some of us there will be lingering amounts of cloud. if that happens where you are, that will suppress the temperatures. cloud in the south—east, which will continue to break up. a weather front draped across parts of scotland, northern england and wales, producing some showers. as i stepped southwards, most of the showers will fade, but we hang on to the cloud in south—east scotland and northern england. temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to about 22 in the south—west. somewhere like plymouth. that will feel pleasantly warm. as we head through the evening and overnight, the weather front continues to drift southwards, mostly as a band of

cloud. more cloud comes on across the north west. in between there will be clear skies with the temperature range six to 9 degrees. tomorrow that weather front is draped across parts of england and wales. it could produce an isolated shower. for example, in the midlands, parts of wales, northern england. they will be the exception rather than the rule. as it sinks southwards, the shower risk diminishes. behind it, a fair bit of sunshine. cloud in the north—west, where it is breezy. tomorrow's hows are up to 19 degrees. it looks like for most of us the rest of the week, and even into the weekend, will remain settled. that sounds glorious. thank you, carol. looking forward to that wedding before the end of the problem. let's hope we can make that on time. labour says it will introduce new targets in england aimed at reducing deaths from heart disease, strokes and suicide, if the party is elected to government. the conservatives say nhs waiting lists are higher in wales, where labour is already in power.

we're joined now by labour leader, sir keir starmer. good morning to you. it is quite a list, bass, a list of commitments. faster ambulances, shorter waiting lists, more choice for patients, new it systems. where is the money coming from?— it systems. where is the money coming from? yeah, look, it is a lona coming from? yeah, look, it is a long list. — coming from? yeah, look, it is a long list, you're _ coming from? yeah, look, it is a long list, you're absolutely - coming from? yeah, look, it is a| long list, you're absolutely right. i will tell you why. the nhs often says it is on its knees. most people say, no, it is on its face. my wife works in the nhs. so this is a daily discussion. if we are privileged enough to get into power, it will fall to labour to get the nhs back on its feet. what i am setting out today goes way beyond that. it is answering the question, how can we make the nhs fit for the future? we have had 75 years out of the nhs. we need an nhs fit for the future. we will tackle the obvious and

immediate problems. waiting list is one of those. but we have to get to grips with some of the bigger underlying issues. that is why there is a real emphasis in the plan and i am setting out today on the big killers, and cancer, and heart disease and death by suicide, but also moving us to a prevention model where we can do much more of our care, mental health care, in our communities to take the pressure off or hospitals. it is a long list. as far as the money is concerned, firstly, wherever we have made a specific commitment, we are setting out in terms today how we will pay for that. out in terms today how we will pay forthat. it out in terms today how we will pay for that. it also, out in terms today how we will pay forthat. it also, i out in terms today how we will pay for that. it also, i do want to emphasise, i run a public service forfive years, if emphasise, i run a public service for five years, if you put more money in the top you get a better outcome. money is of course part of the outcome. but we have also got to change and reform. if you go down the path of prevention, that actually would be far better for people's lives and their health, but also in the long run cost a lot less. ., , , , . .

also in the long run cost a lot less. ., y,, . less. not very specific at the moment _ less. not very specific at the moment about _ less. not very specific at the moment about exactly - less. not very specific at the | moment about exactly where less. not very specific at the - moment about exactly where the less. not very specific at the _ moment about exactly where the money is coming from. the current budget for the current yearfor is coming from. the current budget for the current year for health and social carrying england is £180 billion. would you be putting more money than that into the nhs if you were in power?— were in power? well, the exact amount we _ were in power? well, the exact amount we put— were in power? well, the exact amount we put in _ were in power? well, the exact amount we put in we _ were in power? well, the exact amount we put in we will- were in power? well, the exact amount we put in we will set i were in power? well, the exact| amount we put in we will set out nearer the election. 0r amount we put in we will set out nearer the election. or to answer you directly, money is part of the answer. but what i am setting out today goes beyond that. it is about changing and reforming the nhs. if you take, for example, cancer, it is now very clearly established that if you can catch cancer much earlier, then these survival rates are very, very much better. and i mean very, very much better. and i mean very, very much better. this is a model that pushes to early screening. catching it earlier on. that is obviously better for patients, but it is also better for the obviously better for patients, but it is also betterfor the nhs in the long run. that screening in the community, not —— also screening not just by age, but by symptoms and

profile, all of this can be done. we have got huge technology, we need to make a much better use of it. the nhs app was downloaded by 33 million people, for example, during the pandemic. we could make much more use of that. you're right to ask about money, but this is notjust about money, but this is notjust about money. what i am setting out todayis about money. what i am setting out today is a combines a plan for the nhs so it is fit for the future, so we can look back proudly in generations to come and say that if we are privileged enough to be elected in, it was that labour government that, just like governments before, ensured the nhs didn'tjust governments before, ensured the nhs didn't just survive, governments before, ensured the nhs didn'tjust survive, but it is fit for purpose, fate for the future. in generations to come. you say you want to achieve a lot of these things in five years, in one term in government. there is a quote from the nuffield trust think tank this morning who say yes, these are very ambitious plans, but they say you need to put in more money, more people and a lot more time than five

years if you are to get close to them? ., ., . ~ years if you are to get close to them? ., ., . ,, ., years if you are to get close to them? ., ., . ~' ., . ., them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen — them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen over _ them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen over the _ them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen over the last _ them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen over the last 13 - them? yeah, let me tackle that. what we have seen over the last 13 years, i we have seen over the last 13 years, and i think everybody watching this will be familiar with it, is an nhs winter crisis year on year. so, every year we have got a familiar pattern now. we're go into winter nhs crisis. wejust pattern now. we're go into winter nhs crisis. we just about get through. in the summer we breathe and go into the next crisis the next year. the only difference is it is worse than the year before. we have been doing that for 13 years. i call it sticking plaster politics, just getting by, but not fixing the fundamentals. i am often challenged to do immediate things. true, but if you don't fix the fundamentals, we are going around and ran the strike without fixing the fundamentals. i am not going to allow that to happen under an am not going to allow that to happen underan incoming labour am not going to allow that to happen under an incoming labour government. which is why worry what we are setting out today is notjust a plan but a mission, a real sense of purpose. what we are trying to answer is the question after five or even ten years of a labour

government, what are the changes you expect to see? i have met some of the people who are of course worried about the nhs, gp appointments, waiting list, a&e, ambulances. and they know the short term things have got to be fixed and if they want them fixed, of course, but they also want to know if there is an underlying plan that actually does fix the fundamentals. that is what i will be setting out this afternoon. let's zoom in on some of the areas that you want to look at, particularly the preventative areas, the kinds of things you can change in society which might improve the health service and improve public health. shall we start with suicide? we have heard from the three dads earon breakfast campaigning for better education on suicide in schools across the uk. —— earon breakfast. are you prepared to commit to that going on the curriculum?— commit to that going on the curriculum? ., ., curriculum? yeah, i have met the three dads _ curriculum? yeah, i have met the three dads and _ curriculum? yeah, i have met the three dads and listened _ curriculum? yeah, i have met the three dads and listened to - curriculum? yeah, i have met the three dads and listened to them. | three dads and listened to them. they are in quite incredible in terms of what they have been through

and their ability and determination, commitment, to turn that into something which will hopefully benefit other people. i'm not sure i could do that if i'd been through what they have been through. we are talking about their proposals. my shadow secretary of state has made them. we are keen to look at the proposals and we want to focus very much on death by suicide because i do think that the fact that it is the biggest killer of r or young people is something which, everybody knows, most people would say they are shocked about. we have to drive those numbers down. they are going in the wrong direction at the moment. we need to drive them down. i do think the start of that is having much earlier mental health support in the community. so we have got a proposalfor 8500 new professionals command to have a commitment to mental health support in a matter of weeks, not the years it takes at the moment. i do think there is also room, and i think it

three dads are very keen on this, understandably, for mental health support in our schools. so that our children and young people get the support they need. and so, that is one of the areas where, as well as, if you like, fixing the immediate problem, we have got to focus on the big killers. and very sadly, suicide is one of them. keir starmer, shall we broaden this out a little bit? we are talking about preventative measures. let's talk about things that might affect the long—term health of people who are watching the programme this morning. let's talk about obesity. would you banjunk morning. let's talk about obesity. would you ban junk food advertising before nine prime minister's questions yes. i before nine prime minister's questions yes.— before nine prime minister's questions yes. i think its well, well overdue. _ questions yes. i think its well, well overdue. i— questions yes. i think its well, well overdue. i would - questions yes. i think its well, well overdue. i would also - questions yes. i think its well, i well overdue. i would also extend that notjust well overdue. i would also extend that not just a well overdue. i would also extend that notjust a junk well overdue. i would also extend that not just a junk food but sugary food and vaping as well. the government has toyed with this and backed off. that is the wrong thing. we have to protect the health of our young people. that requires us to put in place pretty solid bans and

advertising to children. that is what we are prepared to do. i will set out the details when i make my speech later today. this set out the details when i make my speech later today.— set out the details when i make my speech later today. as you are aware we are in the — speech later today. as you are aware we are in the middle _ speech later today. as you are aware we are in the middle of— speech later today. as you are aware we are in the middle of a _ speech later today. as you are aware we are in the middle of a cost - speech later today. as you are aware we are in the middle of a cost of- we are in the middle of a cost of living crisis. lots of people are terrified by their supermarket food bill. would you ban by one, get one free deals that are on perhaps the foods that aren't the most healthy, like high—fat, high sugar, high salt foods? would you ban them? trio. like high-fat, high sugar, high salt foods? would you ban them? no, we wouldn't ban — foods? would you ban them? no, we wouldn't ban those. _ foods? would you ban them? no, we wouldn't ban those. we _ foods? would you ban them? no, we wouldn't ban those. we focus - foods? would you ban them? no, we wouldn't ban those. we focus today l wouldn't ban those. we focus today heavily on the advertising. but we don't want to do anything in the middle of a cost of living crisis that will make it even more difficult for struggling families. so, we made a choice here. we are very clear. it is advertising that we have got our focus on, god sights on. this is so important because it is obvious the about the healthy lives of our young people. and also,

the overall cost they raised to the nhs, with some of these issues if the preventative measures are not taken. we will focus today on the advertising. no, the middle of a cost of living crisis, i don't think anybody watching today wants to hear that an incoming labour government is going to make life even more difficult for struggling families. labour i know is calling for an investigation into suella braverman after a claim that she sought advice on a private speed awareness course. what would you like to see happening? i what would you like to see happening?— what would you like to see ha enin: ? ~ happening? i think the prime minister needs _ happening? i think the prime minister needs to _ happening? i think the prime minister needs to launch - happening? i think the prime minister needs to launch an i minister needs to launch an investigation into this. i think he has said he is going to see his ethics adviser today, have a meeting with him. well, what he needs to do, what i would do, is to say to that advisor, you need to investigate this. because from what we know it looks as if in appropriate action took place from the home secretary. that needs to be fully investigated. i think that is what many people would be expecting from the prime

minister this morning. find would be expecting from the prime minister this morning.— minister this morning. and if she did break the _ minister this morning. and if she did break the ministerial- minister this morning. and if she did break the ministerial code, i minister this morning. and if she i did break the ministerial code, what should happen?— did break the ministerial code, what should happen? well, the ministerial code is pretty — should happen? well, the ministerial code is pretty clear. _ should happen? well, the ministerial code is pretty clear. if— should happen? well, the ministerial code is pretty clear. if you _ should happen? well, the ministerial code is pretty clear. if you break - code is pretty clear. if you break it you are supposed to go. i don't want to get ahead of myself. i don't know all the facts. i don't think anybody knows all the facts. it looks as if some of the facts are still emerging. so i think the right thing to do is a proper investigation. the prime minister needs to meet his ethics adviser. he says he is going to do that. he needs to say to him, you need to do an investigation. find needs to say to him, you need to do an investigation.— an investigation. and if that investigation _ an investigation. and if that investigation finds - an investigation. and if that investigation finds she - an investigation. and if that| investigation finds she broke an investigation. and if that - investigation finds she broke the ministerial code, should she resign, should she be sacked? ii ministerial code, should she resign, should she be sacked?— should she be sacked? if you have broken the — should she be sacked? if you have broken the ministerial _ should she be sacked? if you have broken the ministerial code, - broken the ministerial code, the whole point is you are supposed to go. the prime minister did stand outside downing street when he became prime minister to say he was going to bring about change, much needed change, i might say, under this government, and have accountability, honesty and transparency. and i think that investigation obviously comes first, thenit

investigation obviously comes first, then it will be up tojulie prime minister to take appropriate action. the usual consequence of breaching the code is that of course you go. thank you very much indeed. 22 minutes past seven. we are going to tell you about a new service from bbc news which is launching. bbc verify is a brand new service from bbc news, which will show audiences how investigative journalists fact check and counter disinformation. the team will focus on a range of stories and share the evidence of their work across tv, radio and online. to tell us more and give us a tour of the newsroom is our disinformation and social media correspondent, marianna spring. morning. good morning and welcome to bbc verify. like you said, we are a team of investigative journalists at the bbc. we are a new brand and we are a physical location above the newsroom in london. and the point of the team, as you said, is to verify

video, to fact check to counter this information, and to analyse really complex story so we can get to the truth of what is going on. why does this matter? it can cause serious harm to society and the people in them. we want to show our kings and help you understand how we get to the bottom of what is happening. i am going to give you a bit of a flavour of the kind where the team are doing. so, we can look at maps to geo— locate specific locations, stuff going on. this is above central london, where we are now. this is new broadcasting house, where i am speaking to you from. it is not so important perhaps for the centre of london but it is when we are analysing war zones or hard to reach places. there is a story on the bbc website today looking at russian locations on the front in ukraine. you can read more about it there. there are other ways that we are also able to interrogate what is going on, including our social media. i have some undercover accounts i have set up for the bbc

podcast. we use these kinds of accounts. these are the characters the accounts belong to. to be able to really understand polarisation online and how what is happening now social media feeds and what we are being recommended can affect all of us. they don't offer us totally exhausted insight into what is going on but that can help us to understand just how social media works. there is also investigating other things and the harm caused. i am trying to understand more about how conspiracy movements have intensified since the pandemic. i am looking at alternative media that finds itself at the heart of this movement. and a conspiracy theory newspaper that is a part of that. i look at how that alternative media is funded and the impact on local communities. i am looking at its connections with far right figures, and also its foreign links. that is for a podcast series coming out in june. it is called marianna in

conspiracy land and it will be available on bbc science. asking the question, could a german coup attempt orjanuary the 6th, ever happen here? you will be able to see it online, on iplayer come across bbc news, on your television and radio. ., ., ~' bbc news, on your television and radio. ., ., ~ ., bbc news, on your television and radio. ., ., ., ., radio. look out for it. you are writin: radio. look out for it. you are writing the — radio. look out for it. you are writing the heart _ radio. look out for it. you are writing the heart of— radio. look out for it. you are writing the heart of the - radio. look out for it. you are writing the heart of the bbc. radio. look out for it. you are - writing the heart of the bbc news room in london, so you would be bringing together all different units and specialisms and verifying stuff in real time with the journalist around you? absolutely. and hopefully. _ journalist around you? absolutely. and hopefully, people _ journalist around you? absolutely. and hopefully, people can - journalist around you? absolutely. and hopefully, people can just - journalist around you? absolutely. j and hopefully, people can just see how we really do figure out what is going on and the clues to be used to piece together the truth, which is more important now than it ever has been before. more important now than it ever has been before-— been before. marianna, we wish you all the very — been before. marianna, we wish you all the very best _ been before. marianna, we wish you all the very best of _ been before. marianna, we wish you all the very best of luck. _ been before. marianna, we wish you all the very best of luck. sounds - all the very best of luck. sounds fantastic. marianna springs live from london. iam fantastic. marianna springs live from london. i am veryjealous of the touchscreens. i want one. my the touchscreens. i want one. my handwriting will let me down.

graeme souness as you have never seen it before. quite a story and a real commitment. it is. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. a public consultation will be held to decide on the location for a specialist children's cancer centre. it will either be expanded at its current site in st george's hospital in tooting — that's where the service it's been for more than 25 years — or moved to evelina hospital in lambeth. the local mp has today launched her own petition to retain the services at st george's. i am under no doubt that the first—class services offered here save lives, and i think it's imperative that the cancer services stay at st george's. today's the deadline

for nominations for the contest to select the conservative candidate for next year's london mayoral election. the winner will be announced injuly from a shortlist of up to three. whoever it is will go up against sadiq khan, who's seeking an unprecedented third term in office for labour. today marks ten years since the murder of fusilier lee rigby in south east london by religious extremists. michael adebolajo and michael adebowale are both now serving life sentences after carrying out the attack. people have started to lay flowers and tributes in woolwich to mark anniversary. my son is in the army. i remember the day when i heard he died. i remember clearly on the radio. when i heard it, ifelt sick to my stomach, and i thought, how could this even happen on the streets of our capital? how could this happen to him? passengers can now travel directly from essex to heathrow as the elizabeth line's full peak

timetable starts today. there will now be six trains an hour going into the airport and up to 24 an hour running between paddington and whitechapel. it marks the final completion of the crossrail project, and comes a year after the line first opened to passengers. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended. that's due to an earlier power supply problem in stratford. passengers are being advised to avoid the line. but there's a good service on all the other lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there's plenty of fine, dry and sunny weather in the forecast this week as high pressure is in charge. this morning a fair amount of cloud around, but that should start to break as we head further through the day. you can see the cloud first thing breaking up, leading to some lengthy spells of sunshine. still some fair weather cloud around, and still a northerly breeze. this but temperatures getting up to 21 celsius in the sunshine. so, leading to a pleasant evening. some late sunshine, and then overnight, it's dry and it's clear, at least to start with. we will see a bit of cloud

drifting south through the middle part of the night. minimum temperature, seven celsius. now, high pressure you can see remains in charge for tuesday, so very similar conditions. any cloud in the morning will break up. lengthy spells of sunshine. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the middle part of the day, but that burning back into the evening. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 19 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, it is looking largely dry. sunshine. the wind a little lighter, and temperatures in the low 20s. that's all from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. goodbye. hello. this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. just after half past seven. today marks six years since the manchester arena bombing. 22 people were killed in the explosion which happened at the end of an ariana grande concert. more than 200 survivors were children at the time, and say the mental health support

they received in the aftermath of the attack was limited. john maguire reports. # 0ooh, yeah, yeah... six years ago, these young women werejust children when they were caught up in the suicide bombing at a pop concert at the manchester arena. # cos we're not gonna let them in # gonna let them change who we're going to be... this song, written and performed by ellie taylor, describes how their lives were affected that night, but also of their determination to recover and to thrive. # you've got to keep moving on

# getting back to how we used to be... they also helped to devise a research project titled be the difference, asking those under 18 at the time what support they received following the attack. you never even imagine going through something like this. so it's not like, oh, right, 0k, i've thought about this and this is my plan of action. you have no idea. so it was kind of hard navigating some of the stuff. and i didn't know a lot about anxiety or panic attacks. i didn't know a lot about that. and even when i experienced like my first panic attack, i didn't realise that's what it was. and it's only been the last couple years where i've actually been able to look back and go, you know what? i was really struggling at that point. like that was a panic attack. it was a lot of learning

for me over the years, and i think that's one of the things as well with like the different therapies where like, oh, that actually didn't work. the report from lancaster university and the national emergencies trust heard from more than 230 young people. some had received support they felt helped them, others not. their conclusion is that too many children felt let down. sometimes you have good weeks, sometimes you've had bad. and i think that's one of the one of the issues was like counselling would stop therapies would stop because i'd be doing better. but then if i got back into that place, i was. there was no immediate support i could go to because the counselling stopped. i didn't have any connection with them any more and then i didn't really... i struggled in high school having that person to talk to as well. so it was kind of it would leave you stranded. lucy suffered severe physical injuries that night and spent long periods in hospital going through two years of rehabilitation. when that kind of came to an ok

level, and i was like, oh, i can walk, i can get around now, i can be a bit more independent. i think that's when the mental health side really started to kick in. i kind of realised i wasn't okay. i think the lockdown especially was the main thing for me that really triggered, you know, something wasn't right and i didn't feel 0k anymore. what the research shows is that the emotional and mental support was inconsistent and often limited. so it calls for a plan to be adopted to ensure that, regardless of where people live, the schools they attend or their age care is available to all. because if, god forbid, anything like this happened again, you know, we'd want the best treatment given to those people. because i know myself personally, you know, it's been a struggle and a lot of my friends who i've met through the choir have experienced the same thing. and ijust think it's important that we figure out what was best and make sure that everyone gets the help they need. in a statement, the home office said it's currently conducting

an internal review into the support package provided to victims of terrorism to better address their needs following an attack. dr cath hill's son was at the arena. her experience of trying to find help for him inspired her to campaign for change. many young people, particularly when they went from primary to secondary or to college and university, had to relive some of that trauma in order to tell their teachers and tutors what they'd experienced. they shouldn't have to do that. so a bit like similar statuses that you might have a if you have an independent learning support plan or for looked after children that there's some status where teachers are made aware that young people have experienced this. there are still struggles six years on. but conducting this research, even ensuring the questions asked were suitable for children and young people, has proved cathartic. knowing that they could be helping others is a great help to them.

taken place as well, so things for example like what kind of insects and how many will be in this garden will be monitored and also recorded, and at the end of chelsea flower show, this garden in its entirety is going to be moved to stratford near the olympic park. so the sun is shining, it is pleasant, and the forecast for the chelsea flower show forecast for the chelsea flower show for the next few days is a largely dry one, with sunny spells. we are not really expecting any rain, but at times they will be a little more cloud. the forecast for us all today is also a largely dry one with some sunny intervals. we have started with a fair bit of cloud in the south—east, that will continue to break up with a weather front sinking south across scotland, northern england and wales, producing just one or two showers. they will tend to fade, but the cloud will remain across south—east scotland and northern england. for the rest of us we are looking at

sunny intervals, temperatures raising from 11 in lerwick to a warm 22 degrees in plymouth. as we head through the evening and overnight, that weather front across northern england will sink further south, moving in across the midlands into wales, for example, and at the same time, more cloud across the north west. in between, clearskies. temperatures tonight falling away to between six and 9 degrees, so not a particularly cold start to today tomorrow, but you will notice it if you are hanging around outside. as we go through tomorrow, the weather front continues to sink south, we could see the odd shower across the midlands, parts of north—east england and wales. it will be the exception rather than the rule, and it won't be much more than a band of cloud as it sinks towards the south—east. top temperatures tomorrow up to 20 degrees, and then a new weather front shows its hand

on wednesday, bringing cloud and rain across scotland, and as it slips into northern ireland it will weaken, so you will see some drizzle, but for england and wales they will be a fair bit of sunshine around, and fair weather cloud building through the course of the day. by then, top temperatures are likely to be 23 celsius, and in old money that is 73 fahrenheit, so it will feel pleasantly warm. the outlook beyond that for most of us remain settled. carol, thank you very much indeed. she is having a glorious morning. she is having a glorious morning. she thinks there is going to be a wedding. is she going to crash it? i think if carol is there, she will be invited! it is nearly ten to eight. john has got the sport for us this morning. a big week for manchester city. good morning.

the real party started at the etihad yesterday, they still got the job done despite partying the night before. pep guardiola, when he arrived with no trophies in his first season, they have won five out of the last six. what he has done at that club is unbelievable, quite frankly, and if they can go on and complete the set by winning the fa cup and the champions league as well, that is the story. this is the one they want, they haven't won it yet, the champions league, and they would love to do that this year. yes, very good morning. their first trophy of the season, will it soon be two and three? pep guardiola hailing their fifth premier league title in six seasons. the title might have been confirmed on saturday, but they still got the job done yesterday, 1—0 winners over chelsea. it was a much changed side. and for all their success, they do not tire of it do they, their relentess pursuit of silverware will take them to wembley on 3june.

even that might not be enough if results go against them. the remarkable rise of brighton continues, they'll be enjoying european football next season after a 3—1victory over southampton. their manager, roberto de zerbi, says that achievement is more prestigious than winning the title with a top six club. in the scottish premiership, rangers beat hibernian 3—1. that result all but ends hibs' hopes of finishing in third place. james tavernier with their first. narrowing that gap to celtic has come too late to prevent their rivals from lifting the title. we're going down to the final weekend in the women's super league, and what a season it has been. second placed manchester united leaving it late to beat rivals manchester city to ensure the title race is settled on the final day. i say late, the winning goal came in the 9lst minute from lucia garcia and it keeps their hopes alive.

chelsea will still be favourites with that two—point cushion at the top and a better goal difference. they earlier beat arsenal 2—0. magdalena erikson who leaves at the end of the season with their second. and she will bow out in style if they win at reading on the final day, chelsea will win their fourth successive title. it's been equally as tight in scotland. any one of glasgow city, celtic, or rangers could have won the title yesterday. two of those were going head to head, rangers playing city at ibrox. glasgow, though, getting a late goal and the win they needed to pip their rivals. and that meant the party had started. the real madrid superstar viniciusjunior says the spanish league "belongs to racists" after being subjected to racist chants at valencia yesterday. he said it's normal in the competition, writing on social media that "the championship that once belonged to ronaldinho, ronaldo, cristiano and messi today belongs to racists." the league's organisers say they will investigate the incident.

the player had wanted the game to be stopped, and had the support of his manager carlo ancelotti because of the abuse directed at his player. brooks koepka won the us pga championship overnight holding off viktor hovland and scott scheffler in the final round to finish two shots clear on nine under and claim his fifth major title. he is one of those players that plays on the rival liv tour. rory mcilroy finished on two under, seven off the lead. the moment of the day came from michael block, and you don't often see this, a hole in one where the ball didn't even bounce. itjust drops straight into the hole. that just doesn't happen. when the ball disappears like that, i think you probably do want to check. did it actually happen? it did.

john, thank you very much indeed. we are going to talk about something now that we will need to be aware of. "shoulder—surfing" is when criminals watch you enter your passcode, then steal your phone in order to access banking and financial apps. detective superintendentjohn roach, who runs the metropolitan police's economic crime unit, says criminals are getting smarter at using this method to target victims, which can result in money being stolen in a matter of minutes. we are joined now by radio 4's money box presenter dan whitworth. good morning. tell us about shoulder surfing, what does this mean? if you are out your phone, trying to see how much money you have or haven't got left in your account. fir how much money you have or haven't got left in your account.— got left in your account. or pay our got left in your account. or pay your bills _ got left in your account. or pay your bills or— got left in your account. or pay your bills or do _ got left in your account. or pay your bills or do all— got left in your account. or pay your bills or do all those - got left in your account. or pay i your bills or do all those financial things. your bills or do all those financial thins. ~ ., i. ., your bills or do all those financial thinls_ . ., y., ., , your bills or do all those financial thins. ~ ., ., , ., ., your bills or do all those financial thins. ., , ., ., ., things. would you not be aware of somebody looking _ things. would you not be aware of somebody looking over _ things. would you not be aware of somebody looking over your - things. would you not be aware of- somebody looking over your shoulder? you would hope you would be, but detective superintendentjohn roach hasissued detective superintendentjohn roach has issued this warning through money box, we have done an interview with him, and he says that criminals

are getting smarter and more efficient at exploiting the loopholes in the system. the loopholes in the system. the loopholes in the system, it is not the apps, he believes the security of the technology is sound. the loophole is you guys and me, it is human behaviour. so they are getting better at exploiting that, and whether that is in a crowded bar, on a train or bus, if you type in your pin, you need to be aware of your surroundings, because he says criminals may need to exploit that, if they get into your phone, they can. �* ., ~ ., ., , ., can. and do we know how big a roblem can. and do we know how big a problem this — can. and do we know how big a problem this is? _ can. and do we know how big a problem this is? what - can. and do we know how big a problem this is? what is - can. and do we know how big a problem this is? what is the i can. and do we know how big a - problem this is? what is the scale? no, we don't. i certainly asked detective superintendent roach. it is not a specific type of crime so it is not recorded. he told me he thinks the scale is quite small, but nonetheless he said to me that the significant impact on people can be huge. significant impact on people can be hue. �* ., ., .,. , significant impact on people can be hule, �* ., ., , you huge. and we have got a clip. you are riaht, huge. and we have got a clip. you

beforehand, so the criminals had been watching him. he told me how he had tens of thousands of pounds stolen in a few hours. we can hear from stolen in a few hours. we can hearfrom him. we haven't got that clip at the moment, but the sums of money, or the potential to lose, is staggering. it is staggering- _ lose, is staggering. it is staggering. 90% - lose, is staggering. it is staggering. 90% of- lose, is staggering. it is staggering. 9096 of all. lose, is staggering. it 3 staggering. 90% of all adults in the uk have smartphones now, that is the latest data, so most of us have them, and we rely on them, we use them, and we rely on them, we use them so much, and of course as this young man said to me, it is a balance between the convenience of being able to pay your bills and everything else, and the risks that come with having that on your phone. so how do we protect ourselves? lbs, so how do we protect ourselves? couple of main things. always use different passcodes and pin s. i'm a financialjournalist, i should different passcodes and pin s. i'm a financialjournalist, ishould be savvy to this, and i had the same six digit code for everything. use different ones. it is six digit code for everything. use different ones.— different ones. it is a nightmare remembering — different ones. it is a nightmare remembering different - different ones. it is a nightmare remembering different ones. i different ones. it is a nightmare|

going into the airport, and up to 24 an hour running between paddington and whitechapel. it marks the final completion of the crossrail project, and comes a year after the line first opened to passengers. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended due to an earlier power supply problem in stratford. passengers are being advised to avoid thejubilee line for now. it looks like there's a good service on all the other lines. looking at the weather for later — the cloud cover from this morning will eventually break up and it'll reveal plenty of sunshine for the rest of the day. it's going to feel warm too — top temperature, 21 celsius. that's all from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. but for now, i'll hand you back tojon and sally. goodbye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the prime minister speaks to his ethics adviser about the home secretary's handling of her speeding offence. in the wake of the death of head teacher ruth perry, experts call for the health and safety regulator to investigate every work—related suicide. are energy bills finally falling? later this week we find out the new energy price cap, with predictions that the average bill will come down by more than £400 a year. we take a look. how many days a week would you have your bandages changed? three times a week. and it's really painful? yeah. on a scale of one to ten? i'd say 11. former footballer graeme souness tells us why he's swimming the channel to raise awareness of a painful skin blistering condition called epidermolysis bullosa.

0ne down, two to go — an extraordinary achievement, says pep guardiola, as manchester city lift their third premier league title in a row and set tehir sights on a famous treble. good morning. iamat i am at the chelsea flower show. in this beautiful garden there are lots of vegetable patches, a working kitchen where every day lunch will be prepared for the chelsea pensioners. and talking of every day this week, the weather is looking pretty settled for most of us, with light rain in the north—west at times. details coming up later. good morning. it's monday, 22nd may. the prime minister is to consult his adviser on ministerial interests after it emerged that the home secretary, suella braverman, sought advice from officials about arranging a private speed awareness course. the offence took place last summer,

and ms braverman later accepted three points on her licence and a fine. rishi sunak is facing demands from opposition parties for an investigation. we're joined now by our political correspondent, iain watson. calls for an investigation, but at the moment of the prime minister not going that far?— going that far? that's right. the prime minister, _ going that far? that's right. the prime minister, in _ going that far? that's right. the prime minister, in his— going that far? that's right. the prime minister, in his return - going that far? that's right. the i prime minister, in his return from the international summit injapan, the international summit in japan, is the international summit injapan, is going to be talking to his ministerial advisor, his so—called ethics adviser, but he hasn't pledged to ask him to investigate the circumstances around suella braverman's behaviour. let's be clear about this. she is the home secretary, she is in charge of law and order. it is not the speeding fund that is the issue. it is not evenly speed awareness course. it is whether she was asking inappropriately for civil servants to get involved. as a former civil servant told the bbc last night, if there is a conflict between your

private interest and your public duties, then you are potentially in breach of the ministerial code. to try to ratchet up pressure on that point, sir keir starmer, the labour leader, on this programme in the past hour has said rishi sunak should now ask his ethics adviser to launch an investigation. it is very clear he wants to put pressure not just on the home secretary, but very much on the prime minister himself. if you've broken the ministerial code, _ if you've broken the ministerial code, the — if you've broken the ministerial code, the whole point is you are supposed — code, the whole point is you are supposed to go. the prime minister did stand _ supposed to go. the prime minister did stand outside downing street when _ did stand outside downing street when he — did stand outside downing street when he became prime minister to say that he _ when he became prime minister to say that he was— when he became prime minister to say that he was going to bring about change. — that he was going to bring about change, much needed change, i'd say, under— change, much needed change, i'd say, under this— change, much needed change, i'd say, under this government, and have accountability, honesty and transparency. and i think that an investigation obviously mike comes first, then — investigation obviously mike comes first, then it will be up to the prime — first, then it will be up to the prime minister to take appropriate action _ prime minister to take appropriate action. but the usual consequence of breaching _ action. but the usual consequence of breaching the code is, of course, that you — breaching the code is, of course, that you go _ that you go. 0f- that you go. of course, it isn't automatic that you do. — of course, it isn't automatic that ministers would have to go. the code was changed under borisjohnson. it

certainly would be embarrassing if suella braverman was found to have broken the ministerial code. so perhaps the prime minister might be a little bit reluctant to launch the investigation in the first place, having lost several of his own ministers, how his own appointees, since he took over last autumn. that said, he looked very frustrated in japan when asked about his home secretary. he is in a bit of a bind. if he doesn't launch an investigation, the office and say he is weak. if he does launch an investigation, ultimately he could potentially lose another cabinet minister. fish potentially lose another cabinet minister. �* , ., , minister. an interesting few hours. thank you- — following the death of headteacher ruth perry following an 0fsted inspection, two leading academics have written an open letter calling for suicides, which may be work—related, to be investigated by the health and safety executive. writing in the british medical journal, the letter says the case should lead to change. 0fsted has described ruth perry's death as a tragedy. here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys.

ruth perry took her own life while waiting for an ofsted report. caversham primary was being graded inadequate. inspectors raised concerns about how children were kept safe. an inquest will look at events around ruth perry's death. it's provoked a bigger debate about teachers' mental health. suicides are not investigated by the health and safety executive. now two leading academics are calling for that to change. every suicide is a tragedy for the family and friends of the individual, for the individual who loses their life. and if there are circumstances that could be tackled to prevent that happening, we have a responsibility to do something about them. but if you don't investigate, if you don't try to find what's happening, then you can't do that. in the british medicaljournal, they also say 0fsted has a duty of care — a call welcomed by the family. we're saying to 0fsted,

we're saying to the department for education, we're saying to the government, we're not going away. this issue is not going away. ruth's death was not, sadly — however tragic it is to us — was not a one—off anomaly. 0fsted has described ruth perry's death as a tragedy. it said it inspects first and foremost in the interests of children — professionally and sensitively, careful of the impact on staff. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. greece's conservative prime minister kyriakos mitsotaksi has won the country's national elections, but failed to gain an outright majority. mr mitsotakis described the result as a "political earthquake", and is unlikely to want to enter into coalition talks. he's expected to push for fresh elections next month, where an updated system — with bonus seats for the leading party — could finally secure him overall control.

sudan's warring factions have agreed a seven—day ceasefire following talks between the two sides in saudi arabia. several previous ceasefires have failed to stop the fighting, which for the last five weeks has focused mainly on the capital khartoum. the truce is meant to begin late tonight, and would be a chance for millions of people who are trapped inside the city to safely stock up on food and water or try to leave. ukraine's president zelensky is returning home from a meeting of g7 leaders injapan, after securing further promises of financial and military support. ukrainian forces are reported to be almost surrounding bakhmut, where a russian wagner mercenary group claims to have taken full control of the city. 0ur diplomatic correspondentjames landale joins us now from kyiv, james, what does this meanfor ukraine?

and can you tell us what you know of the current situation?— the current situation? well, good morninu. the current situation? well, good morning- yes. — the current situation? well, good morning. yes, as _ the current situation? well, good morning. yes, as ever, _ the current situation? well, good morning. yes, as ever, it - the current situation? well, good morning. yes, as ever, it is - the current situation? well, good| morning. yes, as ever, it is really hard to know precisely what is happening in bakhmut. we have to rely on the claim and counterclaim of both sides. we can check some of it with satellite and geo location photographs. what seems to be the case is that russian forces do now hold most of the city. when you talk to ukrainian commanders they say a strip is held by theirforces. 0ne spokesperson we spoke to said ukrainian forces are just in a few buildings. but you have to remember before we start using words like victory, it has taken russia eight months to get here. the city is in ruins. tens of thousands of russian soldiers have died. many more have been injured. even more have been sucked in from other conflicts. ukraine claims it is making inroads and advances to the north and the south of the outskirts, potentially with the opportunity of inserting

the city. it is wrong to assume the story of bakhmut is completely over. james, thank you very much indeed. james, thank you very much indeed. james landale. eight minutes past eight. if you spent the weekend in the garden, or tending your window boxes, and you think it is looking quite nice this morning, we are about to put it all into perspective. we are going to get real garden envy this morning. i have definitely got garden envy because my garden does not look like that! carol is there and will give us some expert tips. i knew that would make her laugh! it is a beautiful garden. a mixture of plants you can eat and those you can't. and here there are lots of vegetables. for example, there are carrots, spinach, beetroot, rhubarb, to name but a few. behind me you can

see a working kitchen. in that working kitchen there is a mission in green start sustainable chef who takes vegetables from the vegetable patches. this week, every day, he will be cooking lunch for the chelsea pensioners. today the lucky things are having some smoked trout. how yummy does that sound? look how pretty it is. it shows how you can mix sure vegetable patches with your regular flowers. perhaps that is a bit of a tape. a tip, yes. what i would say today is where it is cloudy in the south—east, it will break up. the forecast actually for the chelsea flower show today is a dry one. we will see sunshine when the cloud breaks. in the next few days we are looking at some sunny spells. temperatures up to the low 20s. forall of spells. temperatures up to the low 20s. for all of us today the forecast is a largely dry one. and sunny intervals as well. what's been happening this morning as we have had all these cloud at the south—east which will break up. we

also have a weather front across scotland into northern england and wales. that has produced one or two showers and will slip southwards today. it will stay across northern england and south—east scotland. surprisingly temperatures. if you're in the sunshine, in plymouth, for example, temperatures are expected to get up to 22 celsius. through this evening and overnight at the weather front continues to sing southwards. more cloud comes on across the north west. in between there will be some clear skies with overnight lows. 69 degrees. tomorrow we start off with a weather front draped across parts of northern england, the midlands, and we could see some showers. it is a weakening feature. it willjust be a band of cloud. behind it, more cloud and breezy conditions in the north west with highs up to 19 or 20. on wednesday a new weather front comes into the north west introducing thicker cloud and some rain. the wind is going to pick up. as that pushes into northern ireland it will bring some drizzle. england and

wales on wednesday to going to be another dry day and how he's potentially up to 23 celsius. the weather this week looks like it will remain settled for most of us. i don't know if that was much of a tip i give you, but the garden looks fabulous. you're right, the garden looks amazing. i hope to give you some food quite soon. gardeners world have been on the phone. they want to sign you up. not! there is a wedding taking place this morning. a chelsea flower show first. we will hopefully see some of that in half an hour. thank you. last month, former liverpool and scotland captain, graeme souness stepped away from punditry after nearly 20 years he is taking on a new challenge for

a cause close to his heart. he has been telling us all about it. he's renowned as a forthright, uncompromising and highly successful footballer, manager and pundit. but this is graeme souness, as you have never seen him before. and that's because he's venturing miles outside his comfort zone. 21 miles, in fact, as he prepares to swim the english channel with andy grist, whose daughter isla has a rare genetic disorder. she's just unbelievably courageous and brave and strong, and it's the most horrendous disease. and if you're inflicted by it, you must wake up every morning and say, why me? i mean, it's a desperate situation. and then — sorry. and then, the parents have to deal with that. and that's why we're doing it.

epidermolysis bullosa is a degenerative condition that attacks children's organs and development. ali, you're14. yes. and you've gone through so much in your short life. far more than anyone should ever suffer. what's been the worst part? i had plastic surgery on my hands. they basically separated the fingers and straightened them, which they've gone back to their cell. can i touch? yeah. so you've still got — your fingers are still there? yeah, my fingers are still there. they're just all cased in the skin. it was his first meeting with isla four years ago that brought eb, as it's known, to graeme's attention. since then, they have stayed in touch. you're at your worst when your bandages changed? yes. and you have to take pretty strong drugs. so just, when you're having that done, so, obviously you're... do you scream ? yeah. and what does she do?

well, i'm elevated in the air, so she can't give me cuddles. but... does she leave the room, or does she...? no. she either sleeps on the floor, or she sleeps on the other bed and watches. but she wants to be with you? yes. so when you're... 0r she's chasing the cat. how many days a week would you have your bandages changed? three times a week. and that's really painful? yes. on a scale of one to ten? i'd say 11. particularly, it causes skin to break out in extremely painful blisters, outside and inside their bodies. and often that means permanent, debilitating pain. so, clean your teeth — if you get blisters inside your mouth, clean your teeth? it's actually really hard to brush my teeth. i tend not to use a brush. ijust swirl some mouthwash around, which isn't great for my teeth,

but it's what i have to do. there is no cure. and so presently, treatment centres on pain relief. medical staff describe it as one of the cruellest conditions children can have. everyone also wants i to do their very best. so it's a real sort _ of privilege to work with them. i feel emotional when talk about it. but i mean, it is emotional, because it's a long journey. | and many of the families we look i after from birth, until 16 or 17. i so there are many ups and many downs during the ebjourney. _ so now a team of relay swimmers are putting themselves through the pain and sacrifice of the swim, to raise awareness of debra, the charity for children with eb. it's exciting just raising awareness and funds for debra. it's something that's much needed and we need to get on top of this condition because it's brutal. once you get going it gets a bit easier. but nothing compared to eb.

training for the summer crossing is intensifying. a session in a london skyline pool included advice from olympic champion rebecca adlington. your hips and your whole bodyl rotates round, which is why you find it easier. when you're doing the sides that you're not comfortable with, - you almost just do that. 0k. so it's like, oh, oh, _ instead of the whole of your body rotating round. through the cold the swell of the sea and the dark, graeme, andy and the team will battle the elements, and themselves, to achieve their goal. but they don't lack inspiration. the courage, the determination and the stoicism shown by isla and other children with eb, will be the energy that drives them on. so can ijust have a little squeeze? graeme, andy and isla join us now.

the local mp has today launched her own petition to retain the services at st george's. i am under no doubt that the first—class services offered here save lives, and i think it's imperative that the cancer services stay at st george's. today's the deadline for nominations for the contest to select the conservative candidate for next year's london mayoral election. the winner will be announced injuly from a shortlist of up to three. whoever it is will go up against sadiq khan who's seeking an unprecedented third term in office for labour. today marks ten years since the murder of fusilier lee rigby in south east london by religious extremists. michael adebolajo and michael adebowale are both now serving life sentences after carrying out the attack. people have started to lay flowers and tributes in woolwich to mark anniversary. first of all, my son is in the army.

but not only that, i remember the day when i heard he died. i heard it clearly on the radio, sat in the van at work. i felt sick to my stomach, and i thought, how could this even happen on the streets of our capital? how could this happen to him? passengers can now travel directly from essex to heathrow — as the elizabeth line's full peak timetable starts today. there will now be six trains an hour going into the airport, and up to 24 an hour running between paddington and whitechapel. it marks the final completion of the crossrail project, and comes a year after the line first opened to passengers. let's take a look at the tubes now. thejubilee line is part suspended — that's due to an earlier power supply problem in stratford. they are telling passages to avoid the line for now. it looks like there's a good service on all the other lines. apart from the metropolitan line which is suffering from some minor delays. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there's plenty of fine, dry and sunny weather

in the forecast this week as high pressure is in charge. this morning a fair amount of cloud around, but that should start to break as we head further through the day. you can see the cloud first thing breaking up, leading to some lengthy spells of sunshine. still some fair weather cloud around, and still a northerly breeze. but temperatures getting up to 21 celsius in the sunshine. so, leading to a pleasant evening. some late sunshine, and then overnight, it's dry and it's clear, at least to start with. we will see a bit of cloud drifting south through the middle part of the night. minimum temperature, seven celsius. now, high pressure you can see remains in charge for tuesday, so very similar conditions. any cloud in the morning will break up. lengthy spells of sunshine. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the middle part of the day, but that burning back into the evening. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 19 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, it is looking largely dry. sunshine. the wind a little lighter, and temperatures in the low 20s. that's all from us for now. goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. just after half past eight. we've talked a lot about high energy bills in the last year or so and the problems and hardships it has been causing households. wholesale energy prices are now starting to fall, which means we could have seen the worst of the sky high prices, nina can tell us more. good morning. we have been waiting for this. the raw cost of energy has come down, but it has taken some time for it to hit us. on top of the big shop, the increasing costs, it has been energy bills which has been the one which has really hurt a lot of households. there's some hope that energy bills will come down soon. this week, 0fgem, the energy regulator, will set the new amount for its energy price cap forjuly until september. just a reminder, that's the maximum amount energy providers can charge a typical household.

and another reminder — yours could be more or less depending on how much you use. at the moment the 0fgem cap is over £3,000 a year. we pay less than that because the government's energy price guarante, their own price cap, limits average bills to £2,500 a year. but that support will end next month. so what will happen to bills? predictions suggest ofgem's new price cap will come in atjust over £2,000. that is a reduction of around £450 for the average household, and could move us back into a position where suppliers are fighting for our business. heading in a better direction, then. but still a long way from pre—pandemic levels. the new price cap is expected to be £1,000 higher than it was in 2020. i think most people will agree that prices falling and the chance to switch will be most welcomed. as hannah has been finding out.

at this community pantry, families are used to shopping around for a good deal. but when it comes to energy bills, how do they feel about what's been on offer recently? the little government grants have been quite helpful, so it's been good that they've been coming in. and hopefully it'll start to sort itself out soon. i'm happy with my supplier. i'm just not happy that they keep your money. they're still taking money out of the account rather than just freeze it for a couple of months. but no, they still take more and more money out. so it hasn't actually been too bad. it has gone up, but not drastically. are you interested in shopping around at all? um, so personally i'm not great at doing that. - i'm quite, don't like change. and it's better the devil you know. the price cap is expected to come down to £2,060 injuly, meaning lower bills for most of us. and with suppliers expecting energy prices to become more stable, it's thought they might start

offering more fixed—rate deals for households. really? ok, that's not very good. consumer groups would like to see more options on the market. at the moment, we're all pretty much just paying the variable rates, which means that our bills change every time the price cap changes, and that's affected by all sorts of things in the energy market. so at which? we certainly hope to see fixed deals return. we hope to see consumers be able to make some choices in the market and to actually see some competition come back. that's been missing for a long time. this but it will depend on where energy prices head next. the rate they're paying at this community boxing club has more than trebled in the past couple of years, but better options are becoming available. we're trying to switch as we speak, yeah. so the rates are still...

they're a lot better than than what they are at 70p per kilowatt hour, per unit. they're a lot better than that. but they're still a lot higher than than pre—covid levels. but it seems like... we're coming to a better time where i think if there's more certainty at their end, then it allows us... you know, that then is passed down. and while it will take time for energy suppliers to start offering new deals, many hope it will be good for customers when they start fighting it out for business again. hannah miller, bbc news. joining me now is natalie mathie from the energy price so so it could be quite exciting, return to competitive pricing. joining me now is natalie mathie from the energy price comparison site uswitch. are we already seeing a return to competition in the market? we haven't seen the fixed deals that were _ haven't seen the fixed deals that were used to see, and we are really

judged on the champions league title, and that is the one they want. so, a big three weeks ahead. not too much of a party yet. no, he was looking tired yesterday, and if he is tired now. yes, imagine. good morning. their first trophy of the season, will it soon be two and three. the title might have been confirmed on saturday, but they still got the job done yesterday, 1—0 winners over chelsea and for all their success, they do not tire of it do they, their relentess pursuit of silverware will now take them to wembley on 3rd june after this party at the etihad yesterday and the small matter of the champions league final in istanbul on the 10th june. to be considered one of the greatest teams, we have to win europe, we have to win the champions league. it

is not complete, our time here. have to win the champions league. it is not complete, ourtime here. but is not complete, our time here. but just in case we are not able to do it, obviously it is unfair to say what we have done the last six years, orseven, 12, this what we have done the last six years, or seven, 12, this is something extraordinary. it has been externally, and a champions league win would top it off. from top to the bottom, big sam says it's a big ask to try and keep leeds up now. they need a miracle, and manager sam allardyce who's built a reputation as an escape artist, increasingly unlikely to deliver it, losing 3—1 to west ham. and three seasons after getting promoted, leeds will be relegated to the championship next weekend if they don't beat spurs — even that might not be enough if results go against them. the remarkable rise of brighton continues. they'll be enjoying european football next season after a 3—1 victory over southampton. their manager, roberto de zerbi, says that achievement is more prestigious than winning the title with a top six club.

the title will go down to the last day of the season in the women' super league. in scotland any one of glasgow city, celtic, or rangers could have claimed the crown yesterday. two of those were going head to head, rangers playing city at ibrox. glasgow though getting a late goal and the win they needed to pip their rivals. and that meant the party had started. the real madrid superstar viniciusjunior says the spanish league "belongs to racists" after being subjected to racist chants at valencia yesterday. he said it's normal in the competition, writing on social media that "the championship that once belonged to ronaldinho, ronaldo, cristiano and messi today belongs to racists." the league's organisers say they will investigate the incident. the player had wanted the game to be stopped and had teh support of his manager carlo ancelotti because of the abuse directed at his player.

and it could be an emotional day for one of great britain's greatest cyclists, mark cavendish is expected to announce his retirement today the manxman, who turned 38 on sunday, is currently competing in the giro d'italia, but has called a press conference in which he's expected to announce he'll stop cycling at the end of the year. he'll compete at the tour de france injuly. one more stage win and he will become the outright record holder for the highest number of tour stage wins ahead of eddy merckx. they're currently tied on 34. it is all set up for it, and perhaps thatis it is all set up for it, and perhaps that is why he feels now is the time to make the announcement. as long it is the announcement and he announcing something completely different. john, thank you. i know lots of you have been in touch with us after our interview with isla, and graeme souness who was here in the last few minutes, and they

mentioned a fundraising page that they have been close attention to. there wasn't much in it, but hopefully we can share it with you, and in the last few moments, their fundraising has already reached £31,000. it is going up all the time, a few grand in there. that is just for people who are watching. just inspiring how isla's story has inspired graeme. more research, more treatments. that is what they need. it is 8.49 exactly. carol is at the rhs chelsea flower show this morning. do we hear wedding bells? yes, indeed. do we hear wedding bells? yes, indeed- a _ do we hear wedding bells? yes, indeed. a wedding _ do we hear wedding bells? yes, indeed. a wedding is _ do we hear wedding bells? he: indeed. a wedding is about to take place here. if i get out of the way, you can see the kaleidoscope of colour. they are tying the knot in

the garden of unity, and this embodies unity between all communities. it is a legally binding ceremony, and in fact the celebrant is james alexander sinclair, you might recognise him from other gardening programmes among other things, and this garden is for everyone. hopefully the wedding will start whilst we're on air, so i will get on with the weather we can go back to it. it is quite cloudy here this morning, we have had some sunny breaks, and the forecast is dry for the next few days. they will be sunny intervals, variable amounts of cloud. forall of sunny intervals, variable amounts of cloud. for all of us today, we are looking at a largely dry day, and again, sunny intervals. what has been happening is we have had cloud moving across the south—east of england, we expected to break up and we have a weather front across parts of scotland and northern england and wales, and that has produced rain

this morning. the cloud will remain across south—east scotland and also northern england, but for the rest of us, we are looking at sunny intervals. temperatures today, 11 in lerwick to about 22 it has been pushed down towards plymouth, and that will feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine. through this evening and overnight, the weatherfront sinks further south, taking the client with it. in between there will be some clear skies, and temperatures falling away overnight to between six and 9 degrees, so not particularly cold. tomorrow a weather front continues to slide southwards, and we could see the odd shower, the midlands and wales, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. it is not going to be much more than a little cloud by the time it gets to the south—east. in the north—west it will also be breezy, and in between, sunny intervals once again with

temperatures getting up to 19 or 20 degrees. then as we move on into wednesday, we do have another weather front coming into the north—west, that is going to introduce something a cloud, also some rain across north—west scotland, and has that slide southwards into northern ireland, it will be drizzle that you will have, but for england and also for wales, we are looking at a dry day was sunny intervals and temperatures up to 23 celsius. then as we go through the rest of the week, with high pressure in charge it remains largely dry and settled with quite a lot of sunshine as well. temperatures look at the moment like they might rise that little bit more. i don't think that the wedding has started yet, but everybody has taken their seats, looking very promising, so hopefully it will begin soon, and good luck to the happy couple. absolutely, good luck and congratulations to them both. thank you very much indeed, carol. she needs to photo bomb the wedding
