and fewerflavours on you might be seeing higher prices and fewer flavours on offer, because food prices are staying stubbornly high. we look at the numbers. and i'm in the so—called dead shed at heathrow where they store seized animal parts, because the government has changed the ivory ban to extend it to five new species. in sport... after a 20—year wait, newcastle united fans will enjoy those famous champions league nights next season, while leicester take their fight for survival to the final day. good morning from hampton pool, where it is a chilly stuck to the day, but the sun is shining. many of us today are looking at sunny intervals, a bit of cloud, possibly the odd spot of rain in north—west scotland. all the details throughout the programme. good morning. it's tuesday 23rd may. our main story. police will begin searches at a reservoir in southern portugal
6:02 am
this morning as part of an investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007. the operation is being led by german police, who have the movements of a suspect called christian brueckner in mind. the reservoir was first searched by specialist divers 15 years ago. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports from the algarve. already in position yesterday and ready to start work this morning, tents and equipment for searching at a dam three quarters of an hour's drive from where madeleine mccann went missing 16 years ago. she disappeared in 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday. despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing person cases ever, no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have always hoped they would find their daughter alive. but german prosecutors who are leading this investigation are treating it as a murder inquiry. their suspect, christian brueckner, is currently serving seven years
6:03 am
in prison for the rape of a woman in the same area of portugal in 2005. he's never been charged over madeleine mccann�*s disappearance, and has denied any involvement. but the german state prosecutor said there was growing evidence connecting him to the case, including mobile phone records. madeleine mccann vanished from flat g5a at the ocean club in praia da luz on the 3rd of may 2007 as her parents were in a restaurant a few yards away. but amid intense media scrutiny, no trace of her was found. in 2008, a private search of the same reservoir funded by a portuguese lawyer found nothing that proved relevant to the case. divers said there was almost no visibility, but police will search at the dam again starting today. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost more than £10 million. madeleine mccann�*s 20th birthday was this month.
6:04 am
0n the 16th anniversary of her disappearance, her parents wrote, "the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough". daniel sandford, bbc news, in the algarve. we're joined now by our correspondent navtej johal, who's at the reservoir where the search is due to begin this morning. it seems that this has happened very suddenly in the end. what do we know about what is going to happen today? we are standing around near the area of the dam, a very quiet area here, very remote. you can't even hear the sound of traffic from here, and it is about 30 miles away from praia de luz where madeleine went missing in 2007, but it is where we are expecting later this morning german police to begin their search, and the reason for that is because of
6:05 am
the reason for that is because of the actions of one man who you just heard about there. christian brueckner is in prison in germany for the rape of a woman in the same area where madeleine went missing. german police say he visited this area when the three—year—old went missing, and we are expecting official confirmation of the search taking place here within the next couple of hours. and although it's important to note that christian brueckner has never been formally charged with anything in relation to madelyn�*s disappearance, and has always denied any involvement, local media have reported that an area of the reservoir was sealed off by the police yesterday, and that the search is expected to take place today and tomorrow with around 20 police officers taking part in that search. this dam has been searched before. it was just a year after
6:06 am
madeleine's disappearance, and that was a private lawyer paying for investigators to search the dam, nothing came of that. the hope is that all this will finally unlock answers to the question of one of the most high—profile missing persons cases ever. the most high-profile missing persons cases ever.— the most high-profile missing persons cases ever. navte', thank ou ve persons cases ever. navte', thank you very much i persons cases ever. navte', thank you very much for * persons cases ever. navte', thank you very much for that, h persons cases ever. navtej, thank you very much for that, we - persons cases ever. navtej, thank you very much for that, we will. persons cases ever. navtej, thank. you very much for that, we will come back and talk to you later. also going to talk to investigation officer who was involved in the early days of the investigation at the time. police officers faced "large—scale disorder" at the scene of a serious road traffic collision in cardiff last night, with rioters throwing missiles, including fireworks, at them. at least two cars were set on fire as trouble flared for hours in the district of ely, where more than 100 people gathered, many covering their faces with masks. tomos morgan reports.
6:07 am
oh, no, no, no, no, no. chaos in cardiff. rocks, paving stones and fireworks hurled at police after they were called to deal with a road accident in cardiff on the west side of the city and one of wales's most deprived areas. following their arrival, it appears the situation and the mood in the area escalated quickly. these pictures were streamed live on social media. get back! at several stages, the crowd seemed to charge forward, and riot police forced them back with their shields and batons. south wales police described it as a large—scale disorder, urging local residents to stay indoors and not to speculate online, insisting the original accident had happened before they went to the scene. forensic and specialist teams are continuing their investigation. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. tomos is at the scene this morning. tomos, what's the latest on the situation? it is an absolute war zone here
6:08 am
almost, in the morning, you can see the remnants of what seems to be a smoking bonfire, and just further down there you might be able to see those two cars that were probably on the video footage there, they were set alight. can ijust the video footage there, they were set alight. can i just take you the video footage there, they were set alight. can ijust take you a little bit further down the road here, you can see on the floor all the rubble, all those missiles being used to throw it police last night. the road is a complete mess. these two cars, probably because of residents that lived here, they were brought into the melee happening overnight. some arrests have been made by south wales police, we don't know how many so far, but because of the disruption, buses in this part of cardiff are having to be re—routed. at one stage last night there was speculation that the local police station just a little bit down onto the main road there might have been attacked, so police on horseback had to go there to protect that area as well, but you can see from that video footage tonight it
6:09 am
was complete chaos, the violence that were seen here in this part of cardiff not like anything that has been witnessed here for a number of years, and really the amount of debris and mess on the road here is quite substantial. it is going to take quite some time for this to be clean. we still don't know what actually cause this issue, but the police have said that the car accident which happened didn't involve them. they arrived at the scene after it happened, and that is things went awry.— scene after it happened, and that is things went awry. tomos, thank you very much- — things went awry. tomos, thank you very much- we _ things went awry. tomos, thank you very much. we can _ things went awry. tomos, thank you very much. we can see _ things went awry. tomos, thank you very much. we can see those - things went awry. tomos, thank you | very much. we can see those pictures of the disturbance that happened overnight. it is nine minutes past six. the driver of a truck has been detained after crashing into security barriers opposite the white house overnight. secret service officials said nobody had been hurt — later adding that the truck
6:10 am
had been deemed safe, and that initial investigations suggested the crash might have been intentional. here, the chancellor will meet with food manufacturers today to discuss rising costs and explore ways to ease pressure on households. jeremy hunt is also due to meet with the competitions and markets authority to discuss investigations into fuel and grocery prices. it comes as the government says it will look at reforms around unit pricing, making it easier to compare prices all for similar products. the former deputy prime minister, dominic raab, is standing down as an mp at the next general election. he resigned from the cabinet last month after an inquiry found he had acted in an intimidating way towards officials. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, do we know any more about the reason for this decision? we have speculated about dominic raab�*s future for a while. goad raab's future for a while. good mornin: raab's future for a while. good morning to _ raab's future for a while. good morning to you, _ raab's future for a while. good morning to you, jon. _ raab's future for a while. good morning to you, jon. he - raab's future for a while. good morning to you, jon. he has i raab's future for a while. (emf. morning to you, jon. he has written a letter to his local party saying that he has become increasingly
6:11 am
concerned about the pressure that his job has concerned about the pressure that hisjob has had on his young family, so he is going to call it a day at the next general election. just a month ago, he was deputy prime minister, he had one of the most importantjobs in government. but now he's on his way out. he was really angry, i think, at the way his departure from government came out. you will remember there was a probe into bullying allegations, he had always denied them, and he was angry at the way that probe was carried out, and the conclusions it came to, saying it was completely unjust. i've got to say that i think there is a subtext to this as well, jon, which is i think he was going to face a bit of a battle to keep his seat in surrey. he was facing a big battle with the liberal democrats, and every time you speak to a lib dem at the moment about some of their target seats, they mentioned his seat which was only
6:12 am
held by about 3000 votes, so there was a chance the lib dems could take it, but ultimately, yes, this is the end of dominic rub�*s a political career, and hejoins a growing list of tory standing down at the next general election. —— the end of dominic raab's political career. junior doctors in england have announced a new 72—hour walkout after the latest round of pay talks broke down. the british medical association, which represents doctors and medical students, said the government's offer of a 5% increase was not credible. the strike is due to take place from the 14th to i7thjune. jonathan josephs reports. junior doctors have already taken to the picket lines twice this year as the nhs has been gripped by industrial action. a three—day walk—out in march was followed by another four days in april. during that, nearly 50,000 appointments a day were cancelled and consultants were called
6:13 am
in to make sure emergency care was available. a similar scenario is expected if next month's action goes ahead. the doctors' trade union, the british medical association, has been calling for a 35% pay increase to make up for years of below—inflation rises. this isn't what doctors or patients deserve. it's not an offer that's going to keep our nhs well—staffed and running well into the future, and therefore we've had to call further strike action. the breakdown of talks comes afterjunior doctors in scotland agreed a 14.5% pay rise with the scottish government — a deal they are now putting to their members. that's above inflation, which is running atjust over 10%. as for the situation in england, in a statement the department for health and social care said, "it is both surprising and deeply disappointing that the bma junior doctors committee has declared further strike action while constructive talks were ongoing. "these will be hugely disruptive for patients and put pressure on other nhs staff".
6:14 am
the government says its pay offer is fair and reasonable, but the bbc understands it isn't prepared to hold further talks unless the doctors withdraw their strike action. but given the size of the gap between the two, that doesn't seem likely to happen. jonathanjosephs, bbc news, in central london. there has been a fall in the number of dentists working in the nhs in england, according to the latest figures. the british dental association says there are almost 700 fewer dentists than last year. it says practices are struggling to fill vacancies, which means they face fines for not hitting their nhs contractual targets. 14 minutes past six. if you are trying to hype yourself up to get going this morning, have a bit of exercise and get out and about, and carol is at hampton
6:15 am
it isa it is a chilly start if you haven't yet ventured out, and for some of us, temperatures last night fell to three degrees, so let's take a look. you can see all the swimmers in the pool you can see all the swimmers in the pool. the temperature of the water is a very pleasant 28 celsius, and you can see the sun is already shining here. the forecast for us all today is a largely dry one, with strong sunshine. they will be sunny intervals, meaning that at times you will find areas of cloud coming across. and when that happens, that will suppress the temperature, like yesterday. so what we have today is a lot of dry weather across england and wales, sunny spells and hazy sunshine at times, a cool breeze along the north sea coastline. scotland and northern ireland start off with brighter skies, more cloud today in northern ireland than there was yesterday, and we've got a
6:16 am
weather front across the far north—west of scotland, introducing thicker cloud and the odd spot of rain. temperatures today down on yesterday, looking at 11—20. as we head through the evening and overnight, again we've got the weather front in scotland sinking south, taking cloud with it as it does so, getting into north—west england and northern ireland through the course of the night. ahead of it they will be some clearer skies, and we are looking at some mist and fog patches as well, but overnight lows of between 5 degrees and around 10 degrees, so again, early tomorrow morning it will be a chilly start the day. tomorrow too we are looking at dry weather, sunshine, the spot of rain coming across scotland, around ayrshire for example in lanarkshire. by then it will brighten up, and temperatures tomorrow looking higher than some. but again, it is going to be that bit cooler along the coasts. . .,

6:18 am
she shouldn't — or couldn't — do something, she would do everything in her power to prove the doubters wrong. she'd left home in lancashire to start a degree in london, but within weeks an eye test started a chain of events that led to her being diagnosed with glioblastoma — terminal brain cancer. it was the worst news imaginable, that it was a really aggressive. that first diagnosis was devastating. she had not one but eight tumours, and was given just 18 months to live. this and if we hadn't had any treatment on from that, it would have been three months. that was more than five years ago. and in that relatively short space of time, laura lived the fullest life possible. it's crazy thinking about these things, like what you want to do before you die. like when you're 19, you don't you don't think about that sort of stuff. she fired guns with the police, drove tractors, tanks, lorries, even a royal navy vessel.
6:19 am
she did it all, from the fast and the furious to forecasting for bbc north west tonight. ..but it will brighten up as the day comes to an end. and with herfamily, she completed the great north run, carried the commonwealth baton and held hands with michelle 0bama. in a tweet announcing laura's death, her mum, nicola, said "she was fierce and tenacious to the end and it was truly the honour of my life to be her mum". last summer, she achieved something else she'd been told by doctors was impossible as she completed a degree at the university of manchester. and among the major surgeries, radio and chemotherapy and frequent trips to germany for treatment unavailable in the uk, laura used her time in the spotlight to speak up for others with her condition.
6:20 am
she raised money and awareness for the brain tumour charity. despite a horrific diagnosis, she had done so, so much to further the awareness around brain cancer, to give hope and comfort to so many who needed it. and she wasjust... a maybe overused word in some cases, but very much justified for laura, she was an absolute inspiration. she campaigned tirelessly, calling for more funding and more research into treatments that haven't changed for 50 years. last autumn i asked her if she was ever angry. typically, herthoughts were with others before herself. i get angry at the fact that the treatment has not changed for decades. as her prognosis darkened, the family decided to hold christmas early while laura was still well enough to enjoy it. her dad, mark, has tweeted,
6:21 am
"she leaves a huge chasm behind, and we have now to find some way of filling that void. "but we will, and we'll continue to support the charities and beliefs which were very dear and important to laura." she was determined to use the short time she had available to make a difference to those in the future who will be told that they have brain cancer. her dream was that one day a diagnosis of glioblastoma wouldn't have to mean a death sentence. and when that day finally comes, it will be laura's legacy of an all too short but brilliant life. john maguire, bbc news. laura's legacy is what we focus on this morning as we remember her, and herfriend will be this morning as we remember her, and her friend will be here this morning as we remember her, and herfriend will be here in a couple of hours to reflect on her achievements and look forward at how
6:22 am
that legacy will help others in the future. you could see her attitudes shining through in that article there, and it is now in herfamily�*s shared determination as well. it is 22 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. many of this morning's front pages, including the daily mirror, report that german police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann are searching a reservoir in portugal. the operation is the first major search for madeleine in nine years, according to the paper. the i reports that the prime minister is under growing pressure to act over reports that home secretary suella braverman asked civil servants to arrange a one—on—one speed awareness course. the paper says that rishi sunak has delayed an ethics inquiry into the claims, and is irritated that the row has overshadowed the g7 summit. a picture of the princess of wales alongside pupils at the chelsea flower show�*s first children's picnic features
6:23 am
on the telegraph's front page. children from ten schools were invited to the lunch before the flower show opened to the public. and one of the most read articles on the bbc news website right now is about the death of actor ray stevenson, who has died at the age of 58. he appeared in the star wars and thorfilms, along with major tv shows such as dexter. the port of dover boss says everything possible has been done to avoid a repeat of the very long delays experienced at the start of the easter holidays. the upcoming weekend is expected to be busy, with half—term school holidays getting under way for many and another bank holiday ahead. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin reports. hours and hours of queuing. that's how the easter getaway began for many coach passengers waiting to board ferries at dover. it wasn't a great experience, and particularly for people that have have saved up to travel abroad or the school groups
6:24 am
of kids going across, maybe on the first trip, it was it was not good. among the reasons blamed were more coaches than expected and the length of time it takes for passports to be stamped — a post—brexit requirement. with a coach load of people, the extra time adds up. this is where the port staff keep an eye on what's going on with the traffic and try and keep it moving as smoothly as they can. it's turned into quite a busy day today, quite a lot of coaches turning up. but on friday they're expecting a few hundred coaches and more than 5,000 cars. to make sure it can handle the numbers, the port says it's made more space available to process coach passengers, worked with ferry and coach operators to spread out arrivals and made sure there will be enough french border police. 0n busy days, of course there's going to be some congestion. that happens when when people want to travel. but we're doing everything that we can to make certain that we don't have any repeats of the big significant events when we have big challenges.
6:25 am
having said that, of course, if something unforeseen happens, whether that's weather or a technical failure or a motorway accident, i think it would be foolish to guarantee to try and guarantee that there will never be queues. but what i can say is that we have put in place all the measures, all the processes, installed new facilities in the best effort to make certain that those queues cannot happen again. this company says back before easter, children were stuck on one of its coaches for about 15 hours because of the delays. no one wants a repeat the scenes we saw at easter. they've made our passengers scared of travelling by ferry, our driver scared of travelling by ferry. we've had reassurances from the port authorities and the ferries. there's a lot more communication going on. it's extremely important to us as a company, so we can pass the confidence on to our drivers and of course onto our customers. the port isn't currently considering putting limits on passenger numbers, insisting everybody here is pulling together to keep things moving. this weekend will be another test ahead of the big summer season. katie austin, bbc news.
6:26 am
still to come on breakfast... trading ivory from elephants is already illegal in the uk, and now the ban is being extended to protect five other species including the hippopotamus. we'll be inside heathrow airport where confiscated animal products are stored to find out what difference this could make to endangered species. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a delegation from reading will meet the education secretary gillian keegan later, to ask her to change the school inspection system. among them will be members ruth perry's family, the headteacher who took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate following an 0fsted visit
6:27 am
last november. her death has fuelled a campaign by unions for the system to be changed. today's meeting will also involve politcians and some parents. well, i think it'll be clear when we meet her that, not only are we talking about the detail of how the inspection system works, but the huge local and national impact of this tragedy, and people do want to see real change. headteachers want to be accountable, headteachers are accountable. 0fsted needs to change. a better system which will get better outcomes could be put in place if you listened to the teaching community and the head teaching community. an 18—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance, following an investigation into social media footage showing someone making unsolicited approaches towards members of the public and entering addresses without the apparent permission of the owners. the met says some people have referred to these as prank videos, but say
6:28 am
the arrest demonstrates how seriously they are taking the investigation. great western railway is banning escooters on its trains. the operator said there'd been a number incidents where their batteries had overheated, increasing the risk of fire. they're calling for more regulation. the rhs chelsea flower show opens to the public today. the annual display is britain's most prestigious flower show, and has been a feature of the horticultural calendar for over 100 years. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's severe delays on the circle line. otherwise a good service. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. morning. it is a bright start this morning, plenty of sunshine, high pressure remains in charge, so we are hanging on to the settled conditions.
6:29 am
just a little bit of patchy cloud in the middle of the day, but we will still get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. so, fine, dry and settled, temperatures today reaching around 18 or 19 celsius. 0vernight tonight, that cloud will disappear. another pleasant evening in the sunshine. clear skies overnight. minimum temperature dropping down to around four or five celsius. quite chilly compared to last night. then another bright start tomorrow. you can see the high pressure still very much dominates. so, more fine, dry and settled weather for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine. again, we get that patchy affair with a cloud through the middle part of the day onwards, but we will still see the sunshine. temperatures a little bit warmer, 22 celsius as we head through wednesday. now we are going to hang on to be as high pressure through this week, so it is staying fine and dry. a little more cloud for friday. but into the bank holiday weekend, more sunshine and feeling warmer. that's it more on ourt website and on bbc radio london across the morning. for now, let's head back tojon and sally.
6:30 am
morning, everybody. let's return to our top story now. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann are to carry out searches at a reservoir in portugal. let's remind ourselves of some key moments from the case. it was back in may 2007 when the three—year—old vanished during a family holiday in the algarve. she was sleeping in the apartment while her parents, kate and gerry, ate with friends in a nearby restaurant. portuguese police launched an investigation, but byjuly 2008 it was called to a halt, with no official suspects. a private search of the reservoir — funded by a portuguese lawyer — took place in 2008, but nothing of relevance was found.
6:31 am
today, police will search the area surrounding the arade dam again, which is about 50 kilometres away from where the family were staying. we're nowjoined byjim gamble, who the former head of the child exploitation and 0nline protection centre, and who worked on the original madeleine mccann investigation. good morning to you. thank you for joining us. i know you are very careful about when you speak about this case, you choose your moments. what is it about this moment, this potential development, the search of the dam, that has persuaded you to go on the record?— go on the record? well, i think that at the end of— go on the record? well, i think that at the end of the _ go on the record? well, i think that at the end of the day _ go on the record? well, i think that at the end of the day the _ go on the record? well, i think that at the end of the day the fact i go on the record? well, i think that at the end of the day the fact this i at the end of the day the fact this has been led by the german police is key for me. facilitated by the portuguese. it is obviously a line
6:32 am
of inquiry in their investigation. what has really struck me about the german prosecutors and the german police is that they have been absolutely adamant they have got the right person. and they're pew —— pursuing lines of inquiry on the basis of information they have that is not in the wider public domain. so i do think this is significant. but i think once the german police issued a statement to let us know what they are doing, i think if they are focused, if are delivered, that is much more to do with following a line of inquiry than a needle in the haystack search over a reservoir, which would be less helpful in my opinion. if it's focused, if it's deliberate, if they are following lines of inquiry, this is an important step forward. let's remind ourselves. german _ important step forward. let's remind ourselves. german police _ important step forward. let's remind ourselves. german police are - ourselves. german police are investigating this because they suspect is a man called christian brueckner. he has not been charged with anything. we know he had links
6:33 am

6:34 am
potential of others being involved. but i think this is the best suspect in 16 years. i but i think this is the best suspect in 16 yew-— in 16 years. i have been out there several times _ in 16 years. i have been out there several times as _ in 16 years. i have been out there several times as a _ in 16 years. i have been out there| several times as a correspondent. in 16 years. i have been out there l several times as a correspondent. i was there nine years ago during the last big surge when the police were there in force and they carried out excavations all over prior deloitte. they have searched this lake and reservoir before. and nothing of significance has turned up. —— praia da luz. we have to be measured about this, don't we? we da luz. we have to be measured about this. don't we?— this, don't we? we do. 2014 was the last search — this, don't we? we do. 2014 was the last search at _ this, don't we? we do. 2014 was the last search at the _ this, don't we? we do. 2014 was the last search at the behest _ this, don't we? we do. 2014 was the last search at the behest of- last search at the behest of operation grange. that was catching up, doing things that should have been done many years before. the 2008 searches of the reservoir were very different. they were privately funded. they were teams brought in. they were scoping the bottom of the reservoir where the silt was so deep it was a painstaking operation. i think it was very difficult under these circumstances. we have moved on many, many years. technology has
6:35 am
advanced. i think the german investigation has harvested more intelligence. they will be able to combine that with what was known before. and the analysis they have will give them better targeted areas to look at on land and potentially within the reservoir itself. so, i think we have got to be measured. we have got to be reasonable and realistic about investigation that is 16 years old. but with the new technology, and hopefully with new information that the german police are rightly being careful about how much they release into the public domain, ithink much they release into the public domain, i think there are grounds to be helpful that this is notjust ticking a box. be helpful that this is not 'ust ticking a box.i be helpful that this is not 'ust ticking a box. this is following a lead. ticking a box. this is following a lead- new _ ticking a box. this is following a lead. new technology, - ticking a box. this is following a lead. new technology, new i lead. new technology, new intelligence, but an awful lot of time has passed. so, during a search like this, that must create limitations on the prospects for police? limitations on the prospects for olice? ~ ~ . . police? well, i think it will create limitations. _ police? well, i think it will create limitations. and _ police? well, i think it will create limitations. and i _ police? well, i think it will create

6:37 am
of course if you can find something of significance clothing wise, or physically, then dna today is very different than it was all those years ago. jim different than it was all those years ago-— different than it was all those earsauo. , years ago. jim gamble, we appreciate our time years ago. jim gamble, we appreciate your time and — years ago. jim gamble, we appreciate your time and your _ years ago. jim gamble, we appreciate your time and your insight. _ years ago. jim gamble, we appreciate your time and your insight. thank i your time and your insight. thank your time and your insight. thank you forjoining us. it is 6:37am. jon is here with news of last night's football which means we know that micro newcastle back in the champions league. it has been a long time coming. 20 years. they love their football there. it is such a special stadium. special environment. they feel they have been starved of some of those good times. there has been a take over and under eddie howe they are backin over and under eddie howe they are back in the champions league. they needed that point to secure champions league football. they got it against leicester, who come on the flip side, won't know what their future holds, will they? it goes down to the final game of the season for them. morning. they've been through two relegations since newcastle were last in the champions league. the fans have seen it all, which makes qualifying
6:38 am
for the tournament once again so special. it comes following that goalless draw with leicester, who take their fight for survival to the final game of the season, as katie gornall reports. the celebrations have been a long time coming. after 20 years of waiting newcastle are back at europe's top table. their travels are about to get a lot more scenic. ecstatic. i can't wait to go to some of these european games. i've been to madrid a couple of times for champions league games, so i can't wait to see us there in the black and white stripes. milan, barca, the names go on. it's something i've never experienced in my lifetime, but it's something that, it's a reality now. the atmosphere before kick—off gave an air of the inevitable. stjames' park was ready for their manager to make history. at the other end leicester were fighting for their premier league lives. there could be no slip—ups. daniel iversen got away with one here. newcastle had ambition but not accuracy. so far, leicester's game plan was working. newcastle knew a draw would be
6:39 am
enough, but they wanted more. it was turning into one of those nights. after dominating for so long, in the end newcastle were clinging on. it didn't matter. all anyone here cared about was where the night had taken them, not how they got here. when we came in last year it was a really bleak situation. and the first few weeks for us were really difficult. so, that's not lost on me, i remember it like it was yesterday. but we went on a really, really good run. and that helped us going into this season. confidence levels were high. i thought we recruited really well in each window. i think that's helped us massively. and, yeah, we've really kicked on. a little over a year and a half ago, newcastle united were relegation fodder. but the saudi—led takeover has turbo—charged at this club, and they are now back among your�*s elite. given the resources here, these fans are hoping it is the start of something very special. katie gornall, bbc news, newcastle. you where go from here. —— you
6:40 am
wonder. and with newcastle on the rise, leicester's premier league future will be settled on the final day. the former premier league champions, and fa cup winners just two years ago, must beat west ham on the final day of the season on sunday, and hope everton don't beat bournemouth at goodison. leeds, the other side in a battle to stay up, two from three will go down with already relegated southampton. italian giantsjuventus could miss out on european football next season, after being docked ten points following a new hearing into the club's past transfer dealings. the club were initially handed a 15—point penalty injanuary, but italy's highest sporting court overturned that decision in april, and ordered the case to be re—examined. the new ruling was announced before the team's 4—1 defeat at empoli last night. they now drop to seventh in serie a, outside of the european qualification spots. yesterday we were speculating that mark cavendish might be about to retire after calling a surprise press conference.. and today we can confirm that one of britain's most successful cyclists has confirmed he'll hang up his helmet at the end of the season. a record equalling 34
6:41 am
tour de france stage victories is among his incredible achievements in the sport. at 38, he says it's time to stop — but not before he attempts to break the tour stage win record later this summer. he's currently tied on 34 with eddy merckx. he did confirm that. it wasn'tjust his dinner plans. he has decided enough is enough. he said yesterday it was his son's brother. the opportunity to spend more time with his family is one of the key motivating factors as well. they can go for a bike ride together. thank you. the uk's ban on the sale of ivory is to be extended from covering just elephants. five species targeted by poachers or classed as being vulnerable will also be protected. 0ur climate editor, justin rowlatt, is at heathrow airport for us this morning. it is interesting, the part of the

6:46 am
out here. the pool is nice and toasty warm. the air temperature is quite low. for some of us, three or 4 degrees. the water temperature is 28 celsius. the swimmers are so keen, some of them are queueing to get in before six o'clock this morning. they have been going up and down the pool this morning at great speed, doing all the lengths. did you know this pool is actually over 365 days a year? yes, you can come along on christmas day if you so desire. the forecast for us all todayis desire. the forecast for us all today is a largely dry one. we are looking at some strong sunshine. sunny intervals. lisa jon will be hazy at times with areas of cloud. if you are in the breeze it is also quite nippy. high pressure is in charge of art or weather. we have this ridge of high pressure coming in from the azores. we have a weather front just across the
6:47 am
in from the azores. we have a weather frontjust across the north of scotland. that could bring in the odd spot of rain. to start with, eastern scotland is dry and bright. towards the west for scotland and northern ireland there is more cloud. some of it will push east through the day. with some spots of rain in the north—west of scotland. for england and for wales, well, you've got a sunny day out. again with cloud around it will turn these onto my crazy at times. as we move towards the coast with the onshore breeze, it will almost be that little bit cooler on the coast itself, especially east anglia, kent and the north—west coast. temperatures today looking at about 11 in the north to a high of around about 20 as we move down towards the south. temperatures a little lower than yesterday. 0ver south. temperatures a little lower than yesterday. over 90 weather front coming in and across the north of scotland introduces more cloud. —— overnight. i had a bid for england and wales there will be
6:48 am
areas of cloud. some clear skies. we will also see some mist and fog patches. temperatures overnight are slipping away to roughly between five and 10 degrees. if you are out early tomorrow, again, that will feel chilly first thing in the morning. talking of tomorrow, the weather front slipping south across scotland and northern ireland could produce the odd spot of rain. behind it later in the day it will brighten up. i had of it for england and for wales, again a largely dry day with sunny spells. —— ahead of it. we could see some of the cloud getting into the north—west of england later. temperatures up to 23. thursday is largely dry for most. again with sunny spells. the cloud bubbling up. hazy sunshine. wherever you are it is always going to be that little bit cooler on the coastline with onshore breezes. but it is so nice to see the sunshine and not all the rain some of us have had of late, isn't it?

6:50 am
ingredients. food inflation in march was at near record levels at just over 17%. excuses for a moment. 0k. what we are going to do is go to our colleague alan davies. she has been in wales talking about her not only prices are going up,... don't mess with our nina. nina is not alone. she has company. she will be completely fine. let's catch up with the story she has been talking about, the price of ice cream, and tell you what it is about. bubble gum, toffee, lemon, cookie dough, the range of mouthwatering flavours are endless. but for this ice cream business in lampeter, production costs are soaring. i swapped from organic milk to local and my price is still 50% more than it was two
6:51 am
years ago, for milk. some ingredients are up 100%, sugar, 50. so just on price alone, i guess there hasn't been a jump like this since, ever. in 2012, tom became a partner in the family's ice cream company. it has thrived in wales since the 1930s. he was the first to add flavours to his grandad's secret recipe, flavours that are now having to be reduced. we were up to about 20, including sorbets last year. so, i'd probably keep maybe 15 going and if people request. i know honeycomb, that doubled in price, so i haven't had any of that of this year. and he's not the only one having to make cutbacks. we have had to sort of consider, you know, how many times we are in production. we have also decreased are now flavours.
6:52 am
we still make bespoke and we have about 25, 30 different flavours here on offer every season. but i'm not as creative, if you like, as i used to be. with some ice cream produces having to reduce the flavours they offer to make savings, how do people feel about potentially losing their favoured flavoured ice cream? if all the boring once i left, it takes the fun out of it, doesn't it? chocolate or honeycomb, i think, yeah, my favourite. i'd be gutted. i'm not really a big ice cream fan, but i really like those flavours. i don't know why they don't sell it |at a higher price if it's something | like nuts, pistachio and hazelnut, because that does cost more. i but producers say increasing the price is not an easy option. ice cream is a treat. and if people are unable to pay utility bills, they're not going to be buying ice cream. a tasty treat, but an important one too, with people here
6:53 am

travel and weather where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. city hall says a new london policing board will be set up to oversee and scrutinise reform within the met. it'll be chaired by sadiq khan following a recommendation in baroness casey's review of the force's culture and standards. the mayor says it's an opportunity to make a real and positive difference to how londoners are policed. he's now looking for board members from london's diverse communities to get involved and help him oversee and drive change. detectives in east london investigating a series of prank videos posted on social media have arrested an 18—year—old. one of them showed two people apparently entering a private house in hackney without the owners' permission. scotland yard says it doesn't underestimate the widespread upset and distress the videos have caused. the man remains in police custody.
6:58 am
a delegation from reading will meet the education secretary gillian keegan later to ask her to change the school inspection system. among them will be members ruth perry's family — the headteacher who took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate following an 0fsted visit last november. her death has fuelled a campaign by unions for the system to be changed. well, i think it'll be clear when we meet her that not only are we talking about the details of how the inspection system works, but the huge local and national impact of this tragedy, and people do want to see real change. headteachers want to be accountable, headteachers are accountable. 0fsted needs to change. a better system which will get better outcomes could be put in place if you listened to the teaching community and the headteaching community. great western railway is banning escooters on its trains.

7:00 am
again, we get that patchy cloud through the middle part of the day onwards, but we will still see the sunshine. temperatures a little bit warmer, 22 celsius as we head through wednesday. now we are going to hang on to this high pressure through this week, so it is staying fine and dry. a little more cloud for friday. but into the bank holiday weekend, more sunshine and feeling warmer. that's it. more on our website and on bbc radio london across the morning. for now let's head back tojon and sally. good morning. seven o'clock. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann will begin searching a reservoir in southern portugal this morning around 30 miles from where she went missing. riot police spend the night dealing with disorder in cardiff as cars are set alight and rocks are thrown at officers.

good morning. it's tuesday 23rd may. our main story. police will begin searches at a reservoir in southern portugal this morning as part of an investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann. the reservoir is around 30 miles away from where the three—year—old went missing in 2007, and was first searched by specialist divers 15 years ago. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports from the algarve. already in position yesterday and ready to start work this morning, tents and equipment for searching at a dam three quarters of an hour's drive from where madeleine mccann went missing 16 years ago. this despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing person cases ever, no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have always hoped they would find their daughter alive. but german prosecutors who are leading this investigation are treating it as a murder inquiry. their suspect, christian brueckner,
7:03 am
is currently serving seven years in prison for the rape of a woman in the same area of portugal in 2005. he's never been charged over madeleine mccann's disappearance, and has denied any involvement. but the german state prosecutor said there was growing evidence connecting him to the case, including mobile phone records. the fact that this is being led by the fact that this is being led by the german police is key for me. facilitated by the portuguese, it is honestly a line of inquiry in their investigation, and what has struck me about the german prosecutors and german police is that they have been absolutely adamant that they have got the right person, and they are pursuing lines of inquiry on the basis of information that they have thatis basis of information that they have that is not in the wider public domain. so i do think this is significant.
7:04 am
madeleine mccann vanished from flat g5a at the ocean club in praia da luz on the 3rd of may 2007 as her parents were in a restaurant a few yards away. but amid intense media scrutiny, no trace of her was found. in 2008, a private search of the same reservoir funded by a portuguese lawyer found nothing that proved relevant to the case. divers said there was almost no visibility, but police will search at the dam again starting today. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost more than £10 million. madeleine mccann's 20th birthday was this month. 0n the 16th anniversary of her disappearance, her parents wrote, "the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough". daniel sandford, bbc news, in the algarve. we're joined now by our correspondent navtej johal, who's at the reservoir where the search is due to begin this morning. navtej, what can we expect to happen today? as danieljust as daniel just said as danieljust said in his report, this will be very, very closely
7:05 am
watched, won't it? absolutely. huge media scrutiny, public interest in this case. as you said there, one of the most high—profile missing persons cases ever. we are standing at the moment near the dam, persons cases ever. we are standing at the moment near the darn, it is about 30 miles away from prior —— praia de luz ware madeleine went missing. the reason for the interest here is because of the actions of the man who last year was named as an official suspect into mandolins german police say christian brueckner visited this area when madeleine disappeared, and we are expecting official confirmation of
7:06 am
the search by german police at around nine o'clock this morning. it is important to note that christian brueckner has never been charged with madeleine's disappearance. the search is expected to take place today and tomorrow, with around 30 officers assigned to that search. this area was previously searched just a year or so after madeleine disappeared, but that didn't lead to a breakthrough. the hope is that this time around there may be some answers that they can unlock into the question as to what happened to madeleine mccann. navtej, thank you very much indeed, and we are expecting an update from german police at nine o'clock this morning and we will bring that information to you on the programme as soon as we get it. it is six minutes past seven. some dramatic
7:07 am
images coming in this morning after police officers faced large scale disorder at the scene of a serious road traffic collision in cardiff last night. rioters throwing missiles, including fireworks, at them. at least two cars were set on fire as trouble flared for hours in the district of ely where more than 100 people gathered, many covering their faces with masks. tomos morgan reports. oh, no, no, no, no, no. chaos in cardiff. rocks, paving stones and fireworks hurled at police after they were called to deal with a road accident in cardiff on the west side of the city and one of wales's most deprived areas. following their arrival, it appears the situation and the mood in the area escalated quickly. these pictures were streamed live on social media. get back!
7:08 am
at several stages, the crowd seemed to charge forward, and riot police forced them back with their shields and batons. south wales police described it as a large—scale disorder, urging local residents to stay indoors and not to speculate online, insisting the original accident had happened before they went to the scene. forensic and specialist teams are continuing their investigation. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. tomos is at the scene this morning. we can see, tomos, there is a lot of clearing up to do after dramatic scenes overnight. what is going on now? ., . ., scenes overnight. what is going on now? ., , ., , scenes overnight. what is going on now? ., , ., ., now? you can see the remnants of a smokin: now? you can see the remnants of a smoking bonfire _ now? you can see the remnants of a smoking bonfire here, _ now? you can see the remnants of a smoking bonfire here, and _ now? you can see the remnants of a smoking bonfire here, and further. smoking bonfire here, and further down there, the ash on the road, thatis down there, the ash on the road, that is where we believe the two cars that were turned upside down and were on fire, they have been removed now and there is another burnt out car. but this section of
7:09 am
this road here, the people living on this road here, the people living on this side, they are blocked off because you can see there are cars here that have been smashed, the windows have been smashed in, they are stuck in the middle of the road, it is a dead end there so nobody can get out in their vehicles. and look at all the debris on the floor here. you have got wood, bricks, firework possibly used as one of the missiles that we saw in that footage, used as a missile towards the police here. it is carnage, i have never seen anything quite like it. easily as you mentioned is one of the most deprived areas of wales, the crime rate is high, but the scale of ruin is really unprecedented. a few more details have emerged this morning, a few people have been arrested, we don't know how many. the police have said that they had to deploy extra police on horseback to protect their own police station not too far from
7:10 am
here in another part of ely because there was some suggestion that that might get attacked as well. but the only details we know about how this all escalated yesterday was that there was a car accident, police said they weren't involved in it, they attended to the scene, and after that was when things turned awry. if we have any more details, i will bring them when i have them. we will bring them when i have them. we will come back to you, tomos, thank you very much. the driver of a truck has been detained after crashing into security barriers opposite the white house overnight. a secret service official said nobody had been hurt, later adding that the truck had been deemed safe, and that initial investigations suggested the crash might have been intentional. the chancellor will meet with food manufacturers today to discuss rising costs and explore ways to ease pressure on households. jeremy hunt is also due to meet with the competitions and markets authority to discuss investigations into fuel and grocery prices.
7:11 am
it comes as the government says it will look at reforms around unit pricing, making it easier to compare prices for similar products. the former deputy prime minister, dominic raab, is standing down as an mp at the next general election. he resigned from the cabinet last month after an inquiry found he had acted in an "intimidating" way towards officials. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, do we know any more about the reason for this decision? good morning to you. he has told his local conservative party that he is increasingly concerned about the impact that his job has increasingly concerned about the impact that hisjob has had on his young family. but it is quite a dramatic fall for dominic raab, he was deputy prime minister with a very senior post in rishi sunak�*s government, but i think the fact that his cabinet career is over
7:12 am
we'll probably have had an impact on his decision to stand down. similarly, the level of competition he was facing in his seat, it is a key lib dem target, and he only held it by 3000 votes last time. the lib dems were going to throw the kitchen sink at trying to unseat him, so potentially the impact of losing his seatin potentially the impact of losing his seat in an election was something that played on his mind. it is really interesting, though, a growing number of senior conservatives who have decided not to stand at the next general election, i make it 35 tories at the moment who have said they are not going to stand again. there is a bit of a sense of changing of the guard, some might lose their seats and some might think they will be in opposition if the polls are correct, but what we do know this morning is that dominic rama who has had pretty
7:13 am
senior positions over the next few years, next time there is a general election, he is not standing. nick, thank you. junior doctors in england have announced a new 72—hour walkout, after the latest round of pay talks broke down. the british medical association, which represents doctors and medical students, said the government's offer of a 5% increase was not credible. ministers have called the action "deeply disappointing". the strike is due to take place from 14th to 17thjune. it is 13 minutes past seven. let's go back to hampton lido, where carol is out in the sunshine with some swimmers, we have been watching and they are a tiny bit competitive. absolutely, sally. good morning, everybody. i am getting splashed by the swimmers, because they are really going for it here this morning. the pool is open 365 days a
7:14 am
year, and that includes christmas day. it brings some people out to swim, but it also trains lifeguards as well, and young lifeguards at that, and one of them was telling me that, and one of them was telling me that in the summer they have an event where there are about 20 lifeguards in the pool with young children, so encouraging them and playing with them as well, with large inflatables, so that sounds like a lot of fun. the sun is beating down here in hampton, and what we are looking at is a largely dry day. the forecast for most of us is that. they will be very bill amounts of cloud around, strong sunshine at times, but that will be hazy as the cloud does come across. what we have first thing this morning is a bright start in eastern scotland, cloud moving in across the west which will later produce spots of rain in the north—west. for england and wales, we are looking at a lot of dry weather as well, a lot of sunshine, and indeed some sunny intervals. if you are in an area where the cloud comes across, you
7:15 am
will notice the temperature would dip just a touch, will notice the temperature would dipjust a touch, and sea will notice the temperature would dip just a touch, and sea breezes will develop on the coast. temperatures to date down a touch on yesterday, looking at a range of roughly 11 in the far north of scotland to 20 in the south of england. through this evening and overnight, once again we have got a weather front overnight, once again we have got a weatherfront sinking overnight, once again we have got a weather front sinking south across the north, and ahead of it there will be some cloudy skies, mist and fog patches for men, and low temperatures of 6—10. if you are out early tomorrow, it will feel a little nippy. the weather could well produce spots of rain around parts of the south—west as it sinks southwards, but behind that it will brighten up. more cloud in northern ireland and also into the north—west of england and wales once again we are looking at sunny intervals and temperatures a little higher, up to about 23 degrees but cooler along the coast, especially the east
7:16 am
coast. you are not going to give us a baywatch demonstration? what you are not going to give us a baywatch demonstration? what a shame, i baywatch demonstration? what a shame. i left _ baywatch demonstration? what a shame. i left my _ baywatch demonstration? what a shame, i left my red _ baywatch demonstration? what a shame, i left my red swimsuit i baywatch demonstration? what a shame, i left my red swimsuit at| shame, i left my red swimsuit at home! very cheeky. i think she likes it, though. it is 16 minutes past seven. the number of children in the uk trying vaping has risen by 50% in the last year, and now a bbc investigation has found that vapes confiscated from school pupils can contain high levels of lead, nickel and chromium. laboratory tests show children using the devices could be exposed to nickel levels that are nine times higher than what is considered safe. we will talk about this live in a moment. lucy watkinson has more. still works. leon's reclaiming his vape. do i get it back?
7:17 am
it's mine. it was confiscated along with others when his headteacher installed a vape detector to try to stop vaping in his school in kidderminster. why did you buy that one? lemon and lime, it's nice. but leon's favorite vape is not only full of lemon and lime. this device was found to have high levels of lead, nickel and chromium. as we found out when we sent the children's vapes to be tested. we also found high levels of nickel, chromium and lead in these devices. all of these devices. we test products day in, day out. we have seized products from trading standards. we have products from manufacturers. and in 15 years of testing of vape products, i don't think we've ever seen lead content like this in vape products. it's clear that the vapes used by the teenagers fell far short. in fact, some were nearly two and a half times over the safe limit. in these so—called highlighter vapes, it wasn't just lead. the nickel content was nine and a half times over the safe limit, while chromium
7:18 am
was six and a half times. the lead comes from around the coil or heating element, which contains nickel and chrome. but our tests also showed that they were present in the e—liquid itself. we've extracted the e—liquid to determine metals content and so there's a chance that the e—liquid itself has been reacting with the metal to cause leaching of those metals into the e—liquid. these are present in vape products due to the heating element, the formation of a heating element. we don't normally see that coming into out into the e—liquid. almost all the vapes we tested were illegal. anything over two mililitres of e—liquid is against the law. 0ur tests also showed that there were breaches on packaging. this product has seven times the uk legal limit on its claimed on its packaging. we also found varying levels of carboniles. now these are thermal gradients when the e—liquid is heated up inside the device before you inhale it. it's breaking down some of the e—liquid and forming some of the same chemicals that you find in cigarette smoke, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. the carbonile levels were ten times higher than those found
7:19 am
in legal vapes. in some the levels were higher than those found in cigarettes. a couple of months ago when we first visited the school, we wanted to find out why children like vaping. you're buying nicotine and really what you're spending your money on nicotine and stuff. like its not something you can stop that easy. this device was found to have high levels of lead. this time we returned to show them the results of our tests. you can see there's a charring inside the mouthpiece here, which suggests that there's been thermal degradation when the device is used, the levels of lead in particular of this product are quite worrying. lead damages the brain during development and is a particular concern with the levels found being unsafe. the boys say it's easy to ignore the risks. ididn't i didn't know there was laid in it, and you won't really care if you are addicted to it. you just won't think about it. an expert on vaping and tobacco says these illegal products pose long term risks to health.
7:20 am
lead is a neurotoxin and impairs brain development and metal particles in generall in the bloodstream can trigger blood clotting l and exacerbate - cardiovascular disease. the carboniles that you've found are mildly carcinogenic- and therefore with sustained use iwill increase the risk of cancer. i but in legal products, - the levels of all of these things is extremely low. it's illegal to sell vapes to under—18s, yet leon and oscar can get these easily. i get mine from shops, walk in, ask them what flavour you want the past year. give them money. well, back out. simple. anyone wanting to sell vapes in england has to come to the mhra. the regulatory body for medicines and health care products. yet they currently have no legal powers to check that. what the manufacturer says is in the vape is true. social media is awash with ads for the illegal vapes we tested. the government has recently announced an extra £3 million
7:21 am
in funding to tackle illegal sales, as well as a call for evidence to try and reduce the numbers of children using them. the mhra have seen our data and have informed trading standards. matt carpenter says public health messaging for children has to change. we are a long way behind the curve | in influencing children's behaviourl around this at the moment, which is why we need such. a strong message. but i think as a society we are i capable of holding two messages — one that says if you smoke already, vaping can have a positive impact i so nothing we've been seeing today will make you change. not really. we need more research to see the long term effects but our findings underline the potential health risks for teenagers using unlicensed products. lucy watkinson, bbc news. we're joined now by damien bove from
7:22 am
the uk vaping industry association, and also by lisa mcnally, the public health director for worcestershire. we saw the kids' reaction when they saw what was in the vapes. what is your reaction when you hear about those metals?— those metals? there are several thins those metals? there are several thin . s at those metals? there are several things at play- — those metals? there are several things at play. they _ those metals? there are several things at play. they tested i those metals? there are several things at play. they tested the l things at play. they tested the liquid, and they found high levels of metals, but we have to ask, does that metal get through into the consumer, and obviously we only test legal products. we find the levels of metals are extremely low, and exposure would be less than being in an urban environment on a sunday afternoon. however, with the illegal products, we can't vouch for whether they are manufactured and tested to they are manufactured and tested to the same standards, really. 50 they are manufactured and tested to the same standards, really.- the same standards, really. so you are not worried _

in the usual ways this morning. still to come this morning, the power of the extraordinary friendship between rugby league's kevin sinfield and his former teammate rob burrow is something we've witnessed many times here on breakfast. there wasn't a dry eye in the house as we watched kev carry rob over the finish line of the leeds marathon at the weekend — it's an image which was recreated by oscar winning illustrator charlie mackesy. kev will be here just after eight to chat about his new book the extra mile, which includes highlights from his rugby career, his fundraising efforts, and of course his wonderful friendship with rob. that book is about love and loyalty and courage and truth and how to be happy. and what motivates him. looking forward to seeing him. we have a couple of little surprises for him as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
7:28 am
gone a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. city hall has announced a new london policing board will be set up to oversee and scrutinise reform within the met. it'll be chaired by sadiq khan following a recommendation in baroness casey's review of the force's culture and standards. the mayor says it's an opportunity to make a real and positive difference to how londoners are policed. he's now looking for board members from across london's diverse communities to get involved and help him oversee and drive change. detectives in east london investigating a series of prank videos posted on social media have arrested an 18—year—old. one of them showed two people apparently entering a private house in hackney without the owners' permission. scotland yard says it doesn't underestimate the widespread upset and distress the videos have caused.
7:29 am
the man remains in police custody. a delegation from reading will meet the education secretary gillian keegan later, to ask her to change the school inspection system. among them will be members ruth perry's family, the headteacher who took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate following an 0fsted visit last november. her death has fuelled a campaign by unions for the system to be changed. well, i think it'll be clear when we meet her that, not only are we talking about the details of how the inspection system works, but the huge local and national impact of this tragedy, and people do want to see real change. headteachers want to be accountable, headteachers are accountable. 0fsted needs to change. a better system which will get better outcomes could be put in place if you listened to the teaching community and the head teaching community. let's take a look at the tubes now. now rhs chelsea flower show
7:30 am
opens to the public later today in west london. so what will the weather be like foir anyone heading along? kate kinsella can tell us. morning. it is a bright start this morning, plenty of sunshine, high pressure remains in charge, so we are hanging on to the settled conditions. just a little bit of patchy cloud in the middle of the day, but we will still get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. so, fine, dry and settled, temperatures today reaching around 18 or 19 celsius. overnight tonight, that cloud will disappear. another pleasant evening in the sunshine. clear skies overnight. minimum temperature dropping down to around four or five celsius. quite chilly compared to last night. then another bright start tomorrow. you can see the high pressure still very much dominates. so, more fine, dry and settled weather for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine. again, we get that patchy affair with a cloud through the middle part of the day onwards, but we will still see the sunshine. temperatures a little bit warmer, 22 celsius as we head through wednesday.
7:31 am
now we are going to hang on to be as high pressure through this week, so it is staying fine and dry. a little more cloud for friday. but into the bank holiday weekend, more sunshine and feeling warmer. that's it — more on our website and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. the 3 dads walking became friends when they each lost a daughter to suicide. they've been campaigning for suicide prevention to be taught in schools, because it is the biggest killer of under 35s in the uk. our reporter alison freemanjoined andy, mike and tim when they met with education secretary gillian keegan. another day and another step
7:32 am
in the 3 dads campaign, taking their message to those they hope will change the shape of education and ultimately save lives. yesterday, andy, mike and tim went to the office of the secretary of state for education, gillian keegan. hello, hello, hello! how are you? i'm good. how are you doing? yeah, really good. knowing that suicide is the biggest killer of under 355, and having each lost a daughter to suicide, last year the 3 dads walked between all four uk parliaments, calling for suicide prevention to be made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. it sparked a parliamentary debate, and currently a review of the relationships, sex and health, education — or rshe curriculum — is under way. i think it's true. the answer to everything is education often, so you get a lot of different things that they want to put in the curriculum. then the question is how you put it in the curriculum, how you make it meaningful. after the meeting, we asked the education secretary if, at the end
7:33 am
of the review, she'd be granting the dads their wish. is it likely that we will have a conversation about what to get in the curriculum through the rshe review? yes. are we serious about getting those experts in to inform us to how we should be doing that in an age appropriate way? yes. do we want children and young people and their families to feel that they can have a conversation and have a, you know, get those help seeking behaviours? definitely, yes. so they're asking for it to be made compulsory. do you think there is a chance of that then? well, how the whole thing goes through the review, i don't want to pre—empt because that would be the wrong thing to do. but am i serious about this? yes, i'm serious about this. i've had a situation in my own family, which i've shared with the dads as well. you know, anybody who's had experience of suicide knows how seriously we need to take it. and anything we can do to prevent somebody taking their own life we should do.
7:34 am
anything we can do to help our young people navigate what is increasingly difficult world, then that's part of the job that we want to do in our schools. so do you want to come and sit down? come and have a seat. the dads have caught eyes and ears of many who can help them make a difference. last month they met the prime minister, rishi sunak, at number ten. to have suffered the tragic losses that all of you have had, but then to channel that into raising awareness so that people know that they're somewhere that they can go and talk to, it's inspiring. and just yesterday, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, made a pledge to reduce deaths by suicide over the next five years if his party were to win power. he too, said he'd been touched by the dads' story. yeah, i've met the 3 dads and i've listened to their proposal. - i have to say they're - quite incredible in terms of what they've been through - and their ability and determination and commitment to then turn that into something which hopefully. will benefit other people. i'm not sure i could do| that if i'd been through what they've been through.
7:35 am
the dads though have definitely been encouraged that they're meeting with the education secretary will make change happen. for tim, andy and mike, this all started out as a fundraising campaign in memory of their daughters emily, sophie and beth. but two years and two long walks later, it's so much more. they've already changed the way we talk about suicide, and now it looks like they could change how young people learn to cope with suicidal feelings. alison freeman, bbc news, westminster. andy, mike and tim join us now. good morning. you have got all of us talking. you have got politicians talking. you have got politicians talking in a way they never have about suicide before. they are queueing up to meet you. do you feel you are making progress?— queueing up to meet you. do you feel you are making progress? yeah, to be invited to number— you are making progress? yeah, to be invited to number 10 _ you are making progress? yeah, to be invited to number 10 the _ you are making progress? yeah, to be invited to number 10 the other- you are making progress? yeah, to be invited to number 10 the other week l invited to number 10 the other week

7:44 am
to stay up. when we came in last year it was a really bleak situation. and the first few weeks for us were really difficult. so, that's not lost on me, i remember it like it was yesterday. but we went on a really, really good run. and that helped us going into this season. confidence levels were high. i thought we recruited really well in each window. i think that's helped us massively. and, yeah, we've really kicked on. with our supporters behind us, they saw the fight of the players, and _ hopefully they will get behind us. i'm sure they will be behind us. and if we can go and get that when it makes it really, really nervous for leeds, for everton. —— win. we've made everton have to win the game. a draw for them won't be enough if we win. i always said goal difference could be a difference. so, that's what we could do. not many people had us down for a result here today at newcastle. tense times come the final day. italian giantsjuventus could miss out on european football next season after being docked ten points following a new hearing into the club's past transfer dealings. they were initially handed a 15 point penalty injanuary, but italy's highest sporting court overturned
7:45 am
that decision in april, and ordered the case to be re—examined. the new ruling was announced before the team's 4—1 defeat at empoli last night. they now drop to seventh in serie a, outside of the european qualification spots. yesterday we were speculating that mark cavendish might be about to retire after calling that surprise press conference. and today we can confirm that one of britain's most successful cyclists has decided to hang up his helmet at the end of the season. a record equalling 3a tour de france stage victories is among his incredible achievements in the sport. at 38, he says it's time to stop — but not before he attempts to break that record later this summer. he's currently tied with the great eddy merckx. great way to bow out if he could make it 35.
7:46 am

7:48 am
does feel lovely and warm. as soon as the cloud comes over you notice the drop in temperature. the forecast for today is one of sunny spells. the sun is strong, of course, this time of the year. it is also a mostly dry forecast as well. we have got high pressure firmly in charge of our weather. the azores high is building across our shores. on the pressure chart you will see there is also a warm front to the north—west of scotland. that will introduce more cloud today in north—west scotland and also northern ireland. the odd spot of rain is not —— is a possibility. we start with some sunshine in eastern scotland. cloud building for england and wales through the day. sunny intervals will be the order of the day and temperatures up to 20 degrees. cooler on the coast. as we head on through the evening and overnight, what you will find is more cloud is going to come in across the north west. that is going to be sinking southwards through the course of the night, across scotland
7:49 am
and northern ireland. for england and northern ireland. for england and wales there will be areas of cloud but clear skies as well. we will see some pockets of mist and fog patches forming. temperatures overnight between six and nine or 10 degrees. if you are out early tomorrow morning, it will feel quite chilly. talking of tomorrow morning, the weather front in scotland and northern ireland could produce some rain around ayrshire, lanarkshire, that kind of area. behind it it will brighten up. ahead of it for england and wales are largely dry day with sunny intervals, not wall—to—wall blue skies, but it will be a little bit warmer. we could see temperatures getting up to 23 degrees. but are always cooler along the coast, with sea breezes developing through the course of the day. as we head into thursday, for most it is going to be a dry day. we are going to be chasing areas of cloud around. we will be looking at sunny intervals once again. and feeling pleasant in the sunshine. don't forget, we are looking at a moderate or high levels of uv. if
7:50 am
you are out in the sunshine, don't forget to slap on your son screen. for the rest of the week high pressure looks like it is going to stay in charge. for most it will be settled. at times around the top of the high pressure, we will see weather fronts bringing the high pressure, we will see weatherfronts bringing in some cloud and splashes of rain in the north—west of the country. thank you. doesn't it look gorgeous? it does! lovely to see the sunshine. the longlist for this year's national television awards showcases a wide range of extraordinary talent and we're pleased to say bbc breakfast has a few nominations. three. let's take a look at what's been included now with tv critic scott bryan. good morning. shall we start with drama? . .. . drama? yes. i think the big difference _ drama? yes. i think the big difference between - drama? yes. i think the big difference between the i drama? yes. i think the big i difference between the national television awards and the baftas which were in last week is notjust the fact they national television awards are the only ones voted by the public, it is also that television shows much more reason

miles from where she went missing. two people are understood to have died in a serious traffic accident which led to significant public disorder in cardiff last night. and these are live shots from cardiff this morning, a scene of devastation in ely — where cars were set alight, and paving slabs were thrown at riot police. we will have the very latest for you shortly. and i'm in a rather gruesome location, the store at heathrow airport where they keep parts of plants and animals they have seized. because the uk government is extending its ban on the ivory trade to five new species. from a stellar career in rugby league to a campaign of hope and friendship. kevin sinfield knows all about going the extra mile — so he's written it all down in a new book. he'll be with us on the sofa in a few minutes. good morning from hampton pool,
8:02 am
where the sun is beating down, and the forecast for most of us today is a dry one apart from a few clouds in the north—west which could produce a spot of rain. more details later in the programme. good morning, everybody. it's tuesday 23rd may. our main story. we begin with potentially a big development. police will begin searches at a reservoir in southern portugal this morning as part of an investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann. the reservoir is around 30 miles away from where the three—year—old went missing in 2007, and was first searched by specialist divers 15 years ago. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports from the algarve. already in position yesterday and ready to start work this morning, tents and equipment for searching at a dam three quarters of an hour's drive from where madeleine mccann went missing 16 years ago.
8:03 am
she disappeared in 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday. despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing person cases ever, no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents, kate and gerry mccann, have always hoped they would find their daughter alive. but german prosecutors who are leading this investigation are treating it as a murder inquiry. their suspect, christian brueckner, is currently serving seven years in prison for the rape of a woman in the same area of portugal in 2005. he's never been charged over madeleine mccann's disappearance, and has denied any involvement. but the german state prosecutor said there was growing evidence connecting him to the case, including mobile phone records. the fact that this is being led by the german police is key for me. facilitated by the portuguese, it is obviously a line of inquiry in their investigation, and what has struck me about the german prosecutors and german police is that they have
8:04 am
been absolutely adamant that they have got the right person, and they are pursuing lines of inquiry on the basis of information that they have that is not in the wider public domain. so i do think this is significant. madeleine mccann vanished from flat g5a at the ocean club in praia da luz on the 3rd of may 2007 as her parents were in a restaurant a few yards away. but amid intense media scrutiny, no trace of her was found. in 2008, a private search of the same reservoir funded by a portuguese lawyer found nothing that proved relevant to the case. divers said there was almost no visibility, but police will search at the dam again starting today. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost more than £10 million. madeleine mccann's 20th birthday was this month. on the 16th anniversary of her disappearance, her parents wrote, "the police investigation continues and we await a breakthrough".
8:05 am
daniel sandford, bbc news, in the algarve. in a moment we'll speak to our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness, about the investigation by german police. but first let's go to our correspondent navtej johal who's at the reservoir where the search is due to begin this morning. what do you know about what might happen there today? hate what do you know about what might happen there today?— what do you know about what might happen there today? we are standing near the dam. — happen there today? we are standing near the dam, and _ happen there today? we are standing near the dam, and this _ happen there today? we are standing near the dam, and this is _ happen there today? we are standing near the dam, and this is a _ happen there today? we are standing near the dam, and this is a quiet, - near the dam, and this is a quiet, mountainous area about 30 miles from praia da luz where madeleine mccann went missing in 2007, and it is here where german police are expected to begin their search this morning. they say that christian brueckner visited this area when madeleine mccann disappeared. local media have reported that an area just a mile or
8:06 am
so away was sealed off yesterday, and the search is expected to take place today and tomorrow, with around 20 police officers assigned to that search. as we heard there, this dam has been looked at before. it was just under a year or so after madeleine went missing that a private portuguese lawyer paid specialist divers to search this area, to search the water, but that search led to no significant breakthrough. the hope is this time around they may be able to find some of the answer that unlock the questions over what happened to madeleine mccann, over what happened in one of the most high—profile missing persons cases ever. in one of the most high-profile missing persons cases ever. navte', thank ou. we'rejoined now by damien mcguinness who's in berlin. damien, how significant is this search by german police? they are the ones who have the suspect. what are they saying if anything about their thinking around
8:07 am
what happens today? iwhen anything about their thinking around what happens today?— anything about their thinking around what happens today? when i talked to the chief prosecutor _ what happens today? when i talked to the chief prosecutor in _ what happens today? when i talked to the chief prosecutor in the _ what happens today? when i talked to the chief prosecutor in the region - the chief prosecutor in the region where _ the chief prosecutor in the region where christian brueckner is in prison, — where christian brueckner is in prison, the _ where christian brueckner is in prison, the man who is really driving — prison, the man who is really driving this whole investigation... it looks— driving this whole investigation... it looks like the line to berlin and damien has fallen there. we were trying to get back to him a little bit later, because it does seem like a lot of people who have followed this case over a number of years hoped are taking this development seriously. within the next hour, we expect a statement from the german police and why they have decided to go back to that reservoir where navtej johal is this morning. let's go back and find out what has happened in cardiff. south wales' police and crime commissioner says two teenagers died in a road accident which sparked widespread disorder
8:08 am
in cardiff last night. at least two cars were set on fire as trouble flared for hours in the district of ely, where more than 100 people gathered, many covering their faces with masks and throwing missiles, including fireworks, at police. tomos is at the scene this morning. we can see them hosing down some of the smouldering wreckage there, tomos, but it has been a devastating night in the district of ely. it night in the district of fly. it really has. speaking to some of the local residents here today, clearly none of them have seen anything like this before. a number of them fearing for themselves, their safety, going inside. the number tried to move their cars and some of those unfortunately had their cars destroyed by what happened here. the clean—up operation has begun, and as you mention to begin with, we have had more information about what possibly started all of this last
8:09 am
night, the police and crime commissionerfor night, the police and crime commissioner for south wales has done a radio interview for the bbc in which he said that two teenagers had died yesterday. he has said that there were rumours going around that they were involved in a police chase, and that was simply not the case, he said. that speculation that the police were involved in those deaths has possibly led to the violence that we saw here overnight, and that violence that we saw was quite extraordinary. oh, no, no, no, no, no. chaos in cardiff. rocks, paving stones and fireworks hurled at police after they were called to deal
8:10 am
with a road accident in cardiff on the west side of the city and one of wales's most deprived areas. following their arrival, it appears the situation and the mood in the area escalated quickly. these pictures were streamed live on social media. get back! at several stages, the crowd seemed to charge forward, and riot police forced them back with their shields and batons. south wales police described it as a large—scale disorder, urging local residents to stay indoors and not to speculate online, insisting the original accident had happened before they went to the scene. forensic and specialist teams are continuing their investigation. you can see the remnants of that disaster that happened last night, and we have spoken to the family member who owned this car. he said this is his nephew's he woke up this morning to see it completely in ruins. just look all this rubble on the floor, you have a child's car seat, a firework, rubble, huge bricks. and as we saw in that footage, a number of these items were used by some people in that crowd and thrown at the police when
8:11 am
they came here. a number of residents say that all of those people in that mob, they don't live here, so the residents here are angry and shocked at what happened, thatis angry and shocked at what happened, that is happened on their street outside their homes, and they were not involved and didn't want to be part of this. and they had to stay inside and fearfor their part of this. and they had to stay inside and fear for their safety, and this is what they are left with this morning. extraordinary pictures. thank you for that update, and people will hopefully get more information from the police as the day goes on. the driver of a truck has been detained after crashing into security barriers opposite the white house overnight. a secret service official said nobody had been hurt, later adding that the truck had been deemed safe, and that initial investigations suggested the crash might have been intentional. the former deputy prime minister dominic raab will stand down as an mp at the next election. he resigned from the cabinet last month after an inquiry found he had acted in an "intimidating"

8:17 am
feeling responsibility and you know, initially it was about trying to raise some money for rob and his family and to show support like we all do when friends need it. kev is much more than a friend. he is a big brother in many ways. i love him like family- and so do my entire family. the stress he puts on his body for me is amazing. i how could you not like the guy? once in your life, you come across a special human being. i've never met someone - who is prepared to put his body on the line. i'm not sure where he gets these crazy challenges from. _ he must know the effect he is having on people. i i have a guardian angel looking after me. - he brings hope to people's lives. we just want to be a great friend and we can all try and be a bit of a betterfriend from time to time. i think we have a better place to live in.
8:18 am
finally getting involved in an event for me. - l i will be honestly proud to finish i here with my mate in the same time. and today's a celebration of friendship for those 12,000 people who've done all that hard work, who will turn up today a role running for different people and life's about connections. and as you can see what rugby does. it's been incredible. we've had a real laugh. yeah. the best thing to do in my life, i think to do it with him and see the support, the impact he's had on so many people has been amazing. it was a great day and to be carried in over the final few yards - from was incredible. and how many people will be jealous of a smacker on the cheek? - it just shows the love and care for me and that is surely- the same for him.

kevin sinfield, the guy who made the impossible possible. - kev is here with us now. good morning. that is quite a build—up, isn't it? good morning. that is quite a build-up, isn't it?— good morning. that is quite a build-up, isn't it? yes, the last few years _ build-up, isn't it? yes, the last few years have _ build-up, isn't it? yes, the last few years have been _ build-up, isn't it? yes, the last few years have been brilliant, i build-up, isn't it? yes, the last- few years have been brilliant, what the team have been able to do, and the team have been able to do, and the burrow family and rob have been so inspirational, just great. this so inspirational, 'ust great. this is the first _ so inspirational, 'ust great. this is the first time — so inspirational, just great. this is the first time we've spoken to since that moment at the end of the film, since you carried him over the line. you knew you were going to try and cross the line at the same time as him. tell us how that came about. we had discussed getting him out of the chair and trying to get him to take a few steps, but it took it out of him, the marathon. probably more so than we expected. but it was a really special moment for both of us. everything we have done has been built around friendship, and i think
8:20 am
it was a great symbol of that. how much i love him and care about him, and his fight and his inspiration has been incredible, and for him to be part of that marathon, which i know how important it was for him, was special for both of us. h0??? know how important it was for him, was special for both of us.- was special for both of us. how are ou was special for both of us. how are you feeling — was special for both of us. how are you feeling at _ was special for both of us. how are you feeling at this _ was special for both of us. how are you feeling at this time? _ was special for both of us. how are you feeling at this time? pretty - you feeling at this time? pretty tired. people _ you feeling at this time? pretty tired. people won't _ you feeling at this time? pretty tired. people won't be - you feeling at this time? pretty tired. people won't be aware i you feeling at this time? pretty tired. people won't be aware at home, we planned four stops throughout the marathon so we could check him and make sure everything is all right, and when you are trying to communicate without his computer, that can be quite tough, so we worked off smiles. a smile meant he was ok, it meant yes, i do no smile meant no. we tried to get him out of the chair, stretch him. we had four stops of 28 minutes. he absolutely deserved that medal, it was a challenge for him. find absolutely deserved that medal, it was a challenge for him.— was a challenge for him. and what oint did was a challenge for him. and what point did you _ was a challenge for him. and what point did you realise _ was a challenge for him. and what point did you realise that - was a challenge for him. and what point did you realise that it - was a challenge for him. and what point did you realise that it was i was a challenge for him. and what point did you realise that it was a l point did you realise that it was a challenge for him?—

8:22 am
challenge, shows other people how to be a mate. and what i want to know is, you are quite a private person, we don't know lots and lots about your private life. what made you write the book, and how comfortable was that for you?— was that for you? yes, thank you. it was that for you? yes, thank you. it was uncomfortable _ was that for you? yes, thank you. it was uncomfortable at _ was that for you? yes, thank you. it was uncomfortable at times. - was that for you? yes, thank you. it was uncomfortable at times. if i was that for you? yes, thank you. it was uncomfortable at times. if you | was uncomfortable at times. if you are going to tell the truth and to tell a story, you have to tell it all. i had had a number of offers throughout my playing career to write a book, but didn't feel like the world needed another rugby book, another sports person's book that told a similar story. obviously the last couple of years has been a massive shift, change in my whole life, and that is down to rob inspiring me to do the book, and honestly rob did his own book. 18 months ago, he said you need to do a book, and we didn't really want to
8:23 am
do one, but he inspired me, and i have really enjoyed doing it with a great friendship on the back of it. and he was with you pretty much every step of the challenge. yes. and he was with you pretty much every step of the challenge. yes, he was there. — every step of the challenge. yes, he was there. part _ every step of the challenge. yes, he was there, part of _ every step of the challenge. yes, he was there, part of the _ every step of the challenge. yes, he was there, part of the team - every step of the challenge. yes, he was there, part of the team carrying j was there, part of the team carrying buckets, collecting money. forall of us who have been involved in the last couple of years in the challenge, it has been a team effort, a life changing experience for us. i effort, a life changing experience for us. . , ., for us. i really en'oyed reading about your h for us. i really en'oyed reading about your early i for us. i really enjoyed reading about your early life _ for us. i really enjoyed reading about your early life and i for us. i really enjoyed reading about your early life and the i about your early life and the inspiration you took from your family, from your mum and dad, and how important they were. because they were values driven, loyal people, who have a cause and stick to it. and that is where it comes from. , , ., ., ., 4' from. typical northern hard-working teo . le, i from. typical northern hard-working people. i think. _ from. typical northern hard-working people, ithink, so _ from. typical northern hard-working people, ithink, so i _ from. typical northern hard-working people, ithink, so i talk— from. typical northern hard-working people, i think, so i talk about i from. typical northern hard-working people, i think, so i talk about it i people, i think, so i talk about it in the book about my mum being on strike for two years, and i would have been 11 or 12 at the time, and you probably don't realise the

i'm thomas magill. city hall has announced a new london policing board will be set up to oversee and scrutinise reform within the met. it'll be chaired by sadiq khan following a recommendation in baroness casey's review of the force's culture and standards. the mayor says it's an opportunity to make a real and positive difference to how londoners are policed. the mayor is now looking for board members from across london's diverse communities to get involved. detectives in east london investigating a series of prank videos posted on social media, have arrested an 18—year—old. one of them showed two people apparently entering a private house in hackney without the owners' permission. scotland yard says it doesn't underestimate the widespread upset and distress the videos have caused. the man remains in police custody. a delegation from reading will meet the education secretary gillian keegan later, to ask her to change

the school inspection system. among them will be members ruth perry's family, the headteacher who took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate following an 0fsted visit. her death has fuelled a campaign by unions for the system to be changed. today's meeting will also involve politicians, teachers and some parents. well, i think it'll be clear when we meet her that not only are we talking about the details of how the inspection system works, but the huge local and national impact of this tragedy, and people do want to see real change. headteachers want to be accountable, headteachers are accountable. 0fsted needs to change. a better system which will get better outcomes could be put in place if you listened to the teaching community and the headteaching community. great western railway is banning escooters on its trains. the operator said there'd been a number incidents where their batteries had overheated, increasing the risk of fire. they're calling for more regulation. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's minor delays on the circle and overground lines. now, rhs chelsea flower show opens to the public later today in west london. so what will the weather be like for anyone heading along? kate kinsella can tell us. morning. it's a bright start this morning, plenty of sunshine, high pressure remains in charge, so we're hanging on to the settled conditions. just a little bit of patchy cloud in the middle of the day, but we will still get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. so, fine, dry and settled, temperatures today reaching around 18 or 19 celsius. overnight tonight, that cloud will disappear. another pleasant evening in the sunshine. clear skies overnight. minimum temperature dropping down to around four or five celsius. quite chilly compared to last night. then another bright start tomorrow. you can see the high pressure still very much dominates. so, more fine, dry and settled weather for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine. again, we get that patchy cloud through the middle part of the day onwards, but we will still see the sunshine. temperatures a little bit warmer, 22 celsius as we head through wednesday.
8:36 am
now we are going to hang on to this high pressure through this week, so it is staying fine and dry. a little more cloud for friday. but into the bank holiday weekend, more sunshine and feeling warmer. that's it — more on our website, with regular bulletins on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. a force of nature, fierce and tenacious — just a few of the words used to describe laura nuttall, the cancer campaigner who died yesterday at the age of 23. laura was a familiar face to us here on breakfast, having decided to complete a bucket list after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer while studying at university in 2018. john maguire takes a look back at her life. when laura nuttall was told she shouldn't — or couldn't — do something, she would do everything in her power to prove the doubters wrong.
8:37 am
she'd left home in lancashire to start a degree in london, but within weeks an eye test started a chain of events that led to her being diagnosed with glioblastoma — terminal brain cancer. it was the worst news imaginable, that it was a really aggressive. that first diagnosis was devastating. she had not one but eight tumours, and was given just 18 months to live. and if we hadn't had any treatment on from that, it would have been three months. that was more than five years ago. and in that relatively short space of time, laura lived the fullest life possible. it's crazy thinking about these things, like what you want to do before you die. like when you're 19, you don't you don't think about that sort of stuff. she fired guns with the police, drove tractors, tanks, lorries, even a royal navy vessel. she did it all, from the fast

and the furious to forecasting for bbc north west tonight. ..but it will brighten up as the day comes to an end. and with herfamily, she completed the great north run, carried the commonwealth baton and held hands with michelle 0bama. in a tweet announcing laura's death, her mum, nicola, said "she was fierce and tenacious to the end and it was truly the honour of my life to be her mum". last summer, she achieved something else she'd been told by doctors was impossible as she completed a degree at the university of manchester. and among the major surgeries, radio and chemotherapy and frequent trips to germany for treatment unavailable in the uk, laura used her time in the spotlight to speak up for others with her condition. she raised money and awareness for the brain tumour charity. despite a horrific diagnosis,
8:39 am
she had done so, so much to further the awareness around brain cancer, to give hope and comfort to so many who needed it. and she wasjust... a maybe overused word in some cases, but very much justified for laura, she was an absolute inspiration. she campaigned tirelessly, calling for more funding and more research into treatments that haven't changed for 50 years. last autumn i asked her if she was ever angry. typically, herthoughts were with others before herself. i get angry at the fact that the treatment has not changed for decades. as her prognosis darkened, the family decided to hold christmas early while laura was still well enough to enjoy it. her dad, mark, has tweeted, "she leaves a huge chasm behind, and we have now to find some way of filling that void.
8:40 am
she was determined to use the short time she had available to make a difference to those in the future who will be told that they have brain cancer. her dream was that one day a diagnosis of glioblastoma wouldn't have to mean a death sentence. and when that day finally comes, it will be laura's legacy of an all too short but brilliant life. john maguire, bbc news. what determination she showed. absolutely incredible. let's reflect on the life and legacy of laura. we're joined now by phoebe day from the brain tumour charity, and a friend of the nuttall family. good morning. thank you for having me on. we good morning. thank you for having me on. ~ . good morning. thank you for having meonr . good morning. thank you for having

was diagnosed she said for her it was diagnosed she said for her it was a plot twist. but her story is not over. and we are going to continue spreading her story, her legacy is incredibly powerful. that is down to her and herfamily. let’s is down to her and her family. let's talk about her _ is down to her and her family. let's talk about her legacy. _ is down to her and her family. let's talk about her legacy. we - is down to her and her family. let's talk about her legacy. we were lucky enough to meet her. she was incredible to be in the room with. what changes will her work have made? . , . ., what changes will her work have made? . , ., ., , ., made? that is a tough question because there _ made? that is a tough question because there are _ made? that is a tough question because there are so _ made? that is a tough question because there are so many. - made? that is a tough question because there are so many. forj made? that is a tough question - because there are so many. for us, at the brain tumour charity, we are really passionate about raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of brain tumours. as a young woman in her 20s, of brain tumours. as a young woman in her20s, laura of brain tumours. as a young woman in her 20s, laura reached a whole new demographic for us. we have just launched a campaign encouraging the public to identify what the signs and symptoms are. so, if you are diagnosed, you can get treatment earlier and a diagnosis early. laura championed that. and so did her
8:43 am
family. that is something we also want to sell bread. nicola, her mum, mark, dad, and gracie, sister, were a force to be reckoned with. and they are part of our family. it always amazes me that people in the depths of a terrible diagnosis, and a horrible moment in their lives, that they can never prepare for, but are able to find the strength within themselves, as a family and individual, to turn it into a positive for the rest of us. as a charity you must be blown away by that? we charity you must be blown away by that? ~ ., charity you must be blown away by that? ., .., , , charity you must be blown away by that? ., , _., charity you must be blown away by that? ., , _. ., that? we are completely blown away. we are so incredibly _ that? we are completely blown away. we are so incredibly proud. _ that? we are completely blown away. we are so incredibly proud. laura - we are so incredibly proud. laura made you feel like it was never going to happen because of her attitude. she represents or wider community. this week is incredibly difficult after receiving the news. we are here, not only for the community, but also for the wider public. we have seen a real increase in donations over the last 24—hours
8:44 am
of her death. people are inspired who have not even been touched by brain tumours. we have one lady who's birthday it was yesterday and she woke up on her birthday, saw that laura had died and donated her birthday money, not knowing laura, because of the story she had followed via nicola on twitter. laura has touched many hearts and heads, but also really helped raise awareness of brain tumours and what needs to change in the future. phoebe, we are so grateful to you for coming in and sharing your story with us this morning. thank you for bringing that beautiful rainbow scarf too. . , bringing that beautiful rainbow scarftoo. . , ., , bringing that beautiful rainbow scarftoo. ., , ., , ., ~ bringing that beautiful rainbow scarftoo. ., , ., , ., scarf too. really lovely. thank you so much. scarf too. really lovely. thank you so much- we _ scarf too. really lovely. thank you so much. we send _ scarf too. really lovely. thank you so much. we send love _ scarf too. really lovely. thank you so much. we send love and - scarf too. really lovely. thank you i so much. we send love and thoughts to laura's family _ so much. we send love and thoughts to laura's family from _ so much. we send love and thoughts to laura's family from everybody - to laura's family from everybody here at breakfast. the uk's ban on the sale of ivory is to be extended from covering just elephants. five species targeted by poachers or classed as being vulnerable will also be protected. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, is at heathrow airport for us this morning.

8:50 am
morning session for the morning swimmers hasjust ended. the morning session for the morning swimmers has just ended. the whistle has sounded to say it has ended. in the next 15 minutes or so, some schoolchildren will come in for some lessons. the pool is going to be reconfigured for that and for the teachers to actually show them how to swim. the pool temperature is 28 celsius. it will be toasty warm for them. it has warmed up quite nicely until the cloud cover comes over. when that happens it does peg back the temperatures. i would just like to say a big thank you to everybody here. they have looked after us so well. the lifeguards, pool attendants and the manager. the forecast for all of us today is largely dry. sunny intervals, some cloud cover at times. strong sunshine. in the cloud cover does come across, it will suppress those temperatures. high pressure is firmly in charge of the weather. that high pressure is keeping things
8:51 am
fairly settled. but we do have a weather front which is coming fairly settled. but we do have a weatherfront which is coming in across the north west. and that is introducing thicker cloud into the north—west of scotland, and eventually northern ireland. and also some rain. it will be cloudier today in northern ireland than it was yesterday. after a bright start in eastern scotland, the weather front will bring cloud across the country as we go through the course of the day. for england and from whence we are looking at a mixture of bright spells and also sunny intervals. breezy along the coast. it will always be that bit cooler. and temperatures a little bit lower than they were yesterday. we have a range of 11 in lerwick to about 20 in plymouth. through this evening and overnight, the weatherfront sinks further south across scotland and northern ireland. there is a chance you could see the odd spot of rain. for england and for wales, some clear skies, some mist and fog patches. overnight lows following a weight to about five and 10 degrees.
8:52 am
tomorrow we start off with the weather front strudel draped across southern scotland and also in northern ireland. still with a chance of the odd splash of rain coming from it. by the end of the day that will progress into north—west england. behind it it will brighten up. i had a bit in england and wales, once again we are looking at sunny intervals. if you are coming —— going to the chelsea flower show it should stay dry. tomorrow it should be 20 to three celsius unless you are on the east coast. —— 23. tomorrow it is going to be dry once again. temperatures will still be in the high teens or low 20s. even beyond that. it looks very much like with high pressure in charge the weather is going to remain settled right the way into bank holiday monday. but at times there will be a weather front of just dangling across the north west. and here we could see thicker cloud and the odd spot of rain. most won't see any
8:53 am
rain at all. carol, thank you. it is getting cloudier than it was. summary as well though. carol my comedy fantine ice cream? yes! —— carol, do you fancy an ice cream? especially if you are buying. i'm not sure it would make it all the way but we will have a go. we definitely need jon to be buying. the weather is getting nicer. but buying ice cream could be getting more expensive. the prices are going up as we had the summer. nina has been finding out about it all. she is heading out there into the park. good morning. it is just there into the park. good morning. it isjust a there into the park. good morning. it is just a lovely feeling this time of the year getting out to the park, treating yourself to an ice cream, which i am about to do. although a £3.50 that is a treat. whatever happened to 99s? that is because food inflation, the rate at which prices are rising, continues
8:54 am
to soar. some interesting news this morning. we learned that inflation came down slightly to 17.2%. that is a 0.1% drop. that is good news in some ways but it still means that prices are rising quickly, just less quickly. what we also learned this morning is there has been an 8p drop in four pints of milk. also good news but thatis pints of milk. also good news but that is in the space of a month. compare it to a year ago, a full point of milk is still 30p more than they were then. overall when we look at food inflation, which things are costing, the average family shop annually is going to cost more than £830. 50 annually is going to cost more than £830. so the raw ingredients, the prices of those, they are putting pressure on producers. pressure on pointers like us as well. can we have a £3.50 count? can we afford one for all of the kids? good morning, claire. look at that! double scoop. thank you very much. we are trying to count —— quantify how much prices have gone up. what

8:57 am
with the competition and markets authority. they keep an eye on whether prices are fair, are they reflective of raw materials? he will talk to supermarkets and grocers about what they can do to make sure that consumers are being held out as much as they can. really interesting news today that yes, inflation is coming down, but that still means prices are rising very quickly. and much of it is out of the hands of the government which means it is out of the hands of suppliers. it is to do with raw energy. we talked yesterday about how household energy bills are set to come down as the year goes on. tomorrow we will get an overall look at how inflation is behaving, whether overall inflation is coming down slightly. it looks like it might be, but don't forget, you will be feeling that in your pocket nonetheless because wages are nowhere keeping track of inflation, despite it coming down slightly. treats like this will remain a big decision for some time to come. i have tried the salted caramel and
8:58 am
peanut butter. is that a cherry sorbet? important research to be done here. really nice. we are going to let you eat it now. finally, having let it melt in your hands. bless her. love that. don't forget to pay. and bring one back. at last she has properly got some ice cream. she struggled earlier to get some. wejust wanted to get some. we just wanted to bring you up—to—date with yesterday's programme, when graeme souness was in talking about the fact he had been so inspired by little isla, who has a serious skin condition, he is swimming the channel to raise money. he is swimming the channel in about a month because my time. the last time we checked i think it was up to
8:59 am
£233,000. i've got that wrong. i can't see it. nearly £233,000. this time yesterday out there was nothing on that account. absolutely breaded. he has not even started his swim officially. and they have a month to go. he has a target in mind. he is getting there. he does. he is going to be inspired by your generosity. well done. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59.
