economists have predicted the current rate of 10.1% could drop sharply, as last year's huge increase in the cost of energy is no longer part of the calculation. ben king reports. it was a surge in energy prices that sent inflation rising. and although households still face much higher bills, the big rise came more than a year ago, so it doesn't affect today's headline inflation number, which measures how much prices rose between last april and this april. petrol and diesel prices are actually falling... ..and food prices are rising less rapidly — all contributing to the biggest one—month fall in inflation for over 30 years. just because inflation is coming down, that doesn't mean prices are coming down. in fact, for most goods, they're still rising — just at a slower pace. and the question now is, how long will it take for those price rises to slow back to the level we're used to — where inflation is at its 2% target? if inflation proves persistent, the bank of england may feel it needs to put up

interest rates again. the inflation data over the next couple of months will be really key in determining which side of those views is right — whether the bank actually have done enough when it comes to increasing rates, or whether they will need to do more. which means, after the living costs we've been through, you've got £3.78 monthly. here at the stepchange debt charity in leeds, they help people who have been pushed to the edge by a year of rapidly rising prices. a lot of people dealing with council tax arrears, rent arrears, energy bills that they just can't afford. more than anything, the...perhaps sort of the cost—of—living crisis seems to have tipped people over from being in a position where they were in debt but managing, to now they can't afford their kind of basic needs and their basic budget with the debt payments on top. lower inflation should be a sign that the cost—of—living squeeze is getting a little easier — but even then, it's not expected to get back to normal until next year

or the year after. ben king, bbc news. ben boulos is at a market in liverpool this morning. we might have a lower, smaller number on inflation, but that doesn't mean prices are falling, doesn't mean prices are falling, does it? , , , . doesn't mean prices are falling, does it? , , . . ., , does it? just explain. it certainly doesn't. you're _ does it? just explain. it certainly doesn't. you're absolutely - does it? just explain. it certainly doesn't. you're absolutely right. | doesn't. you're absolutely right. this is liverpool wholesale market. they have got all sorts of fresh fruit and veg produce year. potatoes, eggs, tomatoes. the problem is that the price, especially of food, is persistently high. we found outjust yesterday that food inflation is running at i7.2%. so, that that food inflation is running at i7.2%. so, that is likely to keep the pressure on general inflation, the pressure on general inflation, the rise in average prices for all sorts of goods and services, still fairly high. the last months figure

we had four march was at io.i%. most experts are predicting it will come down. yes, that is welcome news. but evenif down. yes, that is welcome news. but even if it comes down as far as 80%, that still means things are more expensive on average by 8% compared with a year earlier. that means the pressure on households and businesses continue. i have been speaking to some of the businesses who have been coming to stock up here, the cafes, the home food delivery businesses, and they say because of the high prices for food especially, they are having to pass that on to customers, and what they can't pass on their profits are squeezed. that is put pressure on businesses and the households they provide to. the police watchdog has said it will send investigators to cardiff following monday night's riot after a fatal crash. south wales police said there were no police vehicles on the road where teenagers kyrees sullivan and harvey evans were killed, but the force is now reviewing cctv footage showing a police van

following two people on an electric bike, minutes before the accident. we can speak now to our reporter lucy vladev, who is at the scene. lucy, the community still working out what happened here and dealing with the tragic aftermath? yes. out what happened here and dealing with the tragic aftermath?— with the tragic aftermath? yes, it is uuite with the tragic aftermath? yes, it is quite calm _ with the tragic aftermath? yes, it is quite calm this _ with the tragic aftermath? yes, it is quite calm this morning. - with the tragic aftermath? yes, it is quite calm this morning. in - with the tragic aftermath? yes, it| is quite calm this morning. in fact, the only real sign of what happened here on monday, now that most of the debris has been cleared away, are the flowers and balloons that have taken their place. i was here last night. there were people gathering on the street in quite high numbers. there was high emotion, but they were very calm and coming together to grieve. now there are, two days on, an awful lot of questions. that is because the south wales police and crime commissioner initially said that police were not chasing

these two boys. the bbc that verified footage showing that a police van was following two boys on an e bike just police van was following two boys on an e bikejust moments before. the police watchdog had initially not been investigating. they have now said that they're sending investigators to begin gathering information. this incident stretches wider than this. many in the community who i have spoken to have said they are angry, they don't want this incident to brand the entire area. we have also spoken to the local vicar, who in the coming days is hoping to do more to bring the community together and keep that a sense of calm. meanwhile there are still two police investigations going on. one into the deaths of these two boys. and another into the violence that took place afterwards. thank you very much indeed. we will return to cardiff later in the programme. an elderly woman who was hit by a police motorcycle that was escorting sophie, the duchess of edinburgh,

has died. helen holland was 81. her family said she fought for her life for nearly two weeks following the incident, but that irreversible damage to her brain finally ended the battle. an investigation into the crash by the police watchdog is ongoing. police will continue searching a reservoir in southern portugal today 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. the operation is being led by german police looking for evidence to link her disappearance to suspect christian brueckner. borisjohnson has been referred to the police by the cabinet office, over new claims he may have broken lockdown rules during the pandemic. the former prime minister, who was fined last year for breaking covid rules in 2020, has strongly denied wrongdoing. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now.

nick, what more can you tell us? morning. this was found by lawyers helping borisjohnson put together his submission to the covid public inquiry. they found things, we're told, that they were a bit concerned about, thought might break the rules, they passed them on to civil servants. the civil servants decided they needed to go to the police. the government has not confirmed exactly what was in the diary entries that mrjohnson has made, but it is being reported by the time is that it involved friends and family going to see the then prime minister at downing street and chequers. that is his country retreat, the one that all prime ministers get to use. the metropolitan police and thames valley police, the two forces that cover downing street and chequers, are going to look into all of this. i have got to say the pushback from

boris johnson�*s team i have got to say the pushback from borisjohnson�*s team has been pretty furious. i have been speaking to them this morning. they are saying that this is, that this was a politically motivated stitch up. they are suggesting that some in government were making unfounded allegations to the police and the privileges committee, the group of mps looking into whether boris johnson misled parliament when he told them there are no rules had been broken in downing street. there is a big row brewing. borisjohnson is a big row brewing. borisjohnson is trying to say this is completely unfair and completely untrue, i followed the rules at all times. but once again this morning we are talking about another big brow about what went on in government buildings during lockdown, and whether the rules that ministers were setting were being followed. —— big row. thank you. the number of people paying privately for operations and treatments in the uk has risen by more than a third since the pandemic started.

figures from the private health care information network, show that 272,000 people used their own money to pay for treatments last year, such as knee or eye surgery, some costing as much as £15,000. the nhs backlog has been blamed for the trend. if you think you have trouble with traffic on the morning commute, check out this scene on a michigan highway that looks like it's straight out of a film. yes, that's a cowboy who was called into action by the state police, to lasso a runaway cow after wranglers struggled to capture it. you'll be pleased to know, the animal is safe and has not been charged with a crime. hasn't been charged with any breach

of the highway code. where i live in the west country, thatis where i live in the west country, that is a pretty standard morning, to be fair! just on the outskirts of bristol. let's get a weather with carol. she is making the most, looking resplendent in the sunshine. thank you. good morning. it is lovely here in london this morning. i am on the roof of the bbc. the sun is beating down. it is not too cold. if you are in aboyne, temperatures last night fell to 0.5 celsius. a cold start for you. the forecast for the rest of this week is mostly dry. we are also looking at some strong spells of sunshine. but at times some of that sunshine will be hazy because we are also going to be chasing areas of cloud around. what we have this morning is a weather front sinking south across scotland and northern ireland, taking its cloud, light rain and drizzle with it. it will brighten up behind it. like cloud in north wales. that will

thin and break. many of us starting with some sunshine. through the day we could see a bit more cloud getting into the south—east. we might see 22 celsius of the south—east today. it will depend on the cloud cover. temperatures between i! and 22 further west. what you will find tonight is cloud forming in the north sea pushes inland across eastern and central —— central england. temperatures falling away to six to 10 degrees. in north—west scotland for could dip to three. tomorrow, all that cloud across the midlands, that will extend towards the south—west. the odd spot coming out of that of rain. as we push further west and north, more on the way of sunshine. temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. as we go through the rest of this week, even into the bank holiday weekend, high pressure remains in charge, so the weather remains in charge, so the weather remains fairly settled.

you remain in charge, carol always. thanks, nina! thank you very much indeed. documents which led to a court agreeing to return a io—month—old baby boy to his parents, who then murdered him, have been obtained by the bbc. finley boden was killed on christmas day 2020, just 39 days after he was returned to their care. he had 130 injuries. his parents shannon marsden and stephen boden are due to be sentenced on friday. sanchia berg reports. he was a smiler who loved to blow raspberries, according to one of the family court reports about baby finley boden. but a few weeks after this video, he was dead, just ten months old, murdered by his parents, stephen boden and shannon marsden, on christmas day. at his parents' trial, derby crown court heard the local family court had

made a critical decision about finley�*s future, to send him back to his parents' full—time care before christmas 2020. but those hearings are held in private. so until now, we haven't known what happened, or why. papers released at the high court show that finley boden�*s case was heard by two magistrates, not a judge. and thanks to covid restrictions, it took place entirely by telephone. it lasted less than two hours. covid lockdowns meant that at first social workers couldn't visit finley�*s parents at home. so, shannon marsden, findlay�*s mother, sent in photos of her home looking much cleaner and tidier than social workers had seen it before. finley�*s bedroom had his cot waiting for him. once lockdown restrictions eased in the summer, finley�*s parents could meet him again face to face, closely supervised by a social worker, who was assessing their parenting, noting down details, like the way shannon marsden

held finley�*s hand as he sat in his pushchair. but that generally positive impression was undermined by the couple's continued use of drugs. tests showed their levels of cannabis use were high to medium, something shannon marsden had denied. and that lack of honesty worried social workers. so they recommended that finley should be returned to his parents, but in stages, in a gradual way. an influential voice in the court disagreed. this was the guardian, a social worker employed by the independent children and family court advisory service, cafcass. she said the local authority's plan would take too long for a small baby like finley, and he should be returned to his parents' full—time care much more quickly. the magistrates agreed. i think it is deeply significant that this case was heard in front of magistrates.

i think that it's legitimate to question that entire process, whether the care required for finley boden�*s safety was preserved by that process that took place. derbyshire county council told us they sent their deepest sympathies to everyone who knew and loved finley. these court papers have been shared with the local independent safeguarding children partnership. they're currently conducting a review into finley�*s death, which is expected to be finished later this year. sanchia berg, bbc news. i7 17 minutes past six. let's take a look at some of today's papers. the telegraph is among several to lead on the new investigation into alleged breaches of covid lockdown rules by the former prime minister borisjohnson. the paper quotes un—named allies of mrjohnson who claim it is a political smear.

and the daily mail also quote unnamed sources, who say mrjohnson is seriously considering taking legal action against the cabinet office for giving his diary entries to the police. the death of rolf harris features on many front pages. the mirror says there will be a secret funeral for disgraced star. and one of the most watched items on the bbc news website overnight concerns the kick—off time of the scottish cup final between celtic and inverness caledonian thistle. it's moving from its traditional 3pm slot to 5.30pm — and many fans are not happy about it. first time that has ever happened. as you will read there, many fans not about it. i bet. a look inside of the papers. when we arrived this morning, obviously we talked about the news stories we are going to talk about. we also talked about hoarding and having loads of stuff

in your house can get you down. wedding dresses is something that lots of people, after a few years, they take up loads of space. not so for some brides. the wedding dress you throw on the compost heap. this is a wedding dress that is biodegradable after the designer put it on show at the chelsea flower show. she was horrified at the effects of fabrics like nylon, polyester, on the natural world. they don't biodegrade, particularly if they are sitting in your wardrobe for 30 years! she says it is quite hard wearing, you can keep it for a little while and it will buy a good —— biodegrade completely. it is quite a lot of money. £4000 to stick it on the compost. that is an expensive compost. this is rather lovely. we are encouraged to let the grass grow in may. that has been my excuse for the last few

weeks. they have done it at king's college, cambridge university. they replaced the grass with a wild flower meadow. i think it looks rather gorgeous. bees are buzzing, wildlife has returned and everybody loves it. why, when i casually sprinkle wildflower loves it. why, when i casually sprinkle wild flower seeds on my front lawn, does not look like king's college cambridge in any way? there you go. you want to put your wedding dress on it, see what happens. that's right. do a photo shoot. this is a nice study from the university of sussex in brighton, where they are talking about seagulls. the question of the top is, what is a seagull�*s favourite food? yours. they have done this test were obviously they have had bags of crisps, they give it a packet of crisps, and yet get the correct might get a human to have the same packet of crisps. it is

always ones the human... it has a greater appeal when a human is holding it and eating it. that is when i am making food for the kids. they don't want it until i start eating line. then theyjust harbour. leaveit eating line. then theyjust harbour. leave it alone. 2! minutes past six. a young radio dj, who's giving a voice to people with disabilities, is set to receive a masterclass from one of his radio heroes. harrison holmes has cerebral palsy, but that hasn't stopped him from hosting his own hospital radio show each week in barrow—on—furness. steve saul went to meet him, and had a very special surprise for him from radio 2's michael ball. hello, mate, how are you? what songs are you going to play for us tonight? thank you. thank you very much. he just belongs. he was in his absolute element, .

but little does he know we've got a really big surprise planned for him. i think this is a - lifelong dream of his. it really is a dream come true. so we're ever so grateful for what you're doing. i right, time to let the cat out of the bag. a little birdie has told me that you really like michael ball and bbc radio 2. is that right? well, i have a special message to play you, if you want to watch this. hi, there. it's michael ball here. now, i've been hearing all about this amazing presenter on radio lonsdale at furness general in barrow. harrison holmes — you i'm talking about. i've heard all about you. you're passionate, you're entertaining, you're kind, and you're a real character. well, i'd like you to show me how it's done. so i'm going to invite you tojoin me here on bbc radio 2, right here in wogan house in london. does that sound like a plan? yeah — great. i think you're an

inspiration, young man. i can't wait to meet you. god bless. wow! goodness me! harrison? you get to see michael ball! it's better than winning the lottery, because harrison, he's been so poorly, he wasn't meant to survive. he came home on a ventilator at aged eight months to die around his family. but actually, when he got home, he just thrived. he's had 28 operations. he's had such a really hard start in life, but you would never know it. he's wanted this dream for years and years, and it'sjust unbelievable it's happening. # love, love changes everything # hands and faces, earth and sky.# and it certainly sounds like michael ball might have some competition. steve saul, bbc news,

helen holland's family say she was using a pedestrian crossing on the a4 in earl's court when she was struck. an investigation into the crash by the police watchdog is ongoing. two metropolitan police officers have been issued with final written warnings after they shared an "inappropriate graphic" after sarah everard was murdered. it comes after the met referred the case to the police watchdog, both officers were found to have breached professional standards of behaviour. scotland yard says one of the individuals has since resigned, but the second remains within the force. london underground workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of extending their mandate to continue taking strike action. it's part of a long—running dispute overjobs, pensions and conditions by the rmt union. the government is pressing ahead with legislation aimed at providing minimum levels of service during strikes. meanwhile industrial action on the elizabeth line that was planned to coincide

with its one—year anniversary has been suspended after workers voted to accept an improved pay offer. a victorian train station in south east london has had a £2.5 million restoration. peckham rye is one of the busiest interchange stations in the capital. the work on the outside of the building which was built in 1865 has seen stonework restored as well us all of its lost ironwork reinstated. the architect charles henry driver was celebrated for his cast—iron work, and so a really exciting aspect to this project is remaking in an iron foundry the last cast—iron crestings. so here you can see fabulous italian 23.75 carat gold that's been lovingly laid onto this ironwork here. let's take a look at the tubes now. the metropolitan line is part suspended.

now onto the weather with kate kinella. good morning. our week of settled conditions continue as we hang on high pressure. beautiful sunrise over in twickenham you can see earlier. we do have a little bit of cloud, fairly high in part, though, so some hazy sunshine. cloud thickening through the middle part of the day, just some fair weather cloud bubbling up, but still some sunny spells, and those sunny spells producing temperatures potentially up to 22 celsius. now, overnight tonight, we'll see some clear spells to start with. it stays dry. a bit more cloud edging in through the middle part of the night into thursday morning. minimum temperatures six or seven celsius. so, for tomorrow, you can see high pressure remains with us, so very similar conditions. now, we'll start to see the cloud edging a little bit further west through tomorrow, so we'll see brighter, sunnier spells edging in from the east, especially through the afternoon. and temperatures again tomorrow getting up to 21 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, for friday very similar conditions, chasing those cloud amounts around. but into the bank holiday weekend, at the moment it's looking fine, dry and sunny. that's it.

more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. thank you forjoining us. we all know we've been paying higher food prices for many months now, and that's been down to high inflation. well, that rate is expected to fall below 10% when we get the latest figures from the bank of england, but it doesn't mean that prices are coming down anytime soon. ben is at a market in liverpool this morning to explain why. morning, ben. good morning to you both. they have all sorts of fruit and veg here, onions, butternut squash and next to those these nice, fresh tomatoes. but as you say, the problem is, with so much of this fresh produce,

prices are rising and continuing to rise sharply. let me just run you through the background to where we are with inflation, the rise in average prices. the last set of figures we got was from march. in march the rate of inflation was still 10.1%, making the uk the only major global economy with inflation still in double digits. many experts are predicting that the rise in average prices will start to slow down normally get the latest figures in about half an hour. they will show us what inflation was in april. but make no mistake, even if it comes down as low as 8%, that still means things on average 8% more expensive than they were a year earlier. and remember that figure is on average, so some things will still be going up more sharply. fruit and veg and all sorts of products are an example of that, food prices going up on average

17.2%. and then of course the impact on interest rates. the bank of england is trying to rein in prices and reduce the pressure on households, interest rates currently 4.5%, so let's see what this latest inflation figure means will happen with interest rates. that's the big question. of course the high cost of food is putting pressure on households. gerard, you work for a food bank. what is the impact you are seeing? pressures easing at all on the families? no, are not. we could buy three loaves for £1 six months ago, they are £1 each now. and it is really crippling us. it is that we are struggling to buy stuff. 50 it is that we are struggling to buy stuff, ., , ., it is that we are struggling to buy stuff. ., , ., ., ., it is that we are struggling to buy stuff. . ., ., . ., m stuff. so have you had to change? we have had to — stuff. so have you had to change? we have had to change, _

will bring that to you as soon as possible. thank you, ben, we will have those numbers at seven o'clock. the expectation is that the rate of inflation will come down slightly, but all that means is that prices are rising a little less quickly. indeed. it is 6.36. thank you for joining us. john has got the sport, and we're still looking at this racism row in spain, which started on sunday, when it was viciniusj junior who was racially abused by valencia fans, and we have to look at how serious people are about stopping this, and the la liga president, the other officials, it has illustrated the lack of action, i guess, in spanish football. and in

many ways, widespread support for the player, but it is again it has raised questions over how serious they are at addressing this issue. yes, good morning. viniciusjunior has seen his red card rescinded following the racial abuse he suffered by rival valencia supporters. the player grew angry at the lack of action as he was racially abused while playing for real madrid, before later being sent off. valencia have been hit with a partial stadium closure for five matches. three men have since been arrested. it has led to protests in the player's native brazil as well. he said afterwards that the league belonged to racists. last night in a show of solidarity, fellow player raphinha who plays for rivals barcelona revealed a message on his shirt which read, we are together, vicinius. real manager carlo ancelotti says he'll consider taking his players

off the pitch if it happens again. translation: vinicius is not guilty. he's a victim who can be painted as guilty sometimes when people say he's provoking or talking about his attitude. no, let's make it very clear. vinicius is the victim of all this. condemning is not enough. when did we start doing at? we've been condemning racism for very long time, but after condemning, one needs to act, and nobody has acted yet in a way that makes this problem go away. it's a problem of racism and it's a problem of insults. after winning their third league title in a row, manchester city manager pep guardiola has been facing questions. the site has been hit with more than a hundred breaches of its financial rules after investigation back in february over incidents from 2009—2018. the manager says he wants them dealt

with as soon as possible. wolves managerjulen lopetegui's future is in doubt because of the club's financial situation, according to spanish football journalist guillem balague. lopetegui said recently that it would be difficult to compete in the premier league without investment. the spaniard added he had only recently been made aware of the club's financial fair play problems. harriet dart and katie boulter kept alive their hopes of making the main draw of this year's french open with victories in first round qualifying yesterday. this and in men's qualifying, liam broady is also through. he came from a set down to beat france's arthur gea. a lot of chat, though, surrounded broady�*s rather colourful outfit. tell us what you think about that one. it's interesting, isn't it it is being compared to a deck chair. you like you wouldn't get away with that at wimbledon, would you? he

will have to change for the summer for the grass courts. well, his attire certainly attracted plenty of attention on social media. andy murray commented, "did you actually wear that at roland garros? "fair play, mate, that's a shocker!" say it like it is, and the! and harriet dart chipped in with, "interesting". that is a fair choice of word. if you wear something like that, you had better be able to carry it off. like if you were bright football boots, you should be good. as the football season nears its cup finals climax, a team is preparing to represent great britain in unified football. each team combines mainstream footballers and players with intellectual disability. the british team will take part in the special olympics next month, and this week none other than england manager gareth southgate has been watching them prepare. here's more from joe wilson. these footballers have an intellectual disability, and these don't. put them together in a team,

and where's the difference? that's unified football, great britain's squad. i never thought i'd be able to get to this point in my life, because i struggled with finding jobs, struggling and socialising, so i never thought i'd get the opportunity to come here. some people feel like they're not welcome in a group of people that haven't got an intellectual disability, so they shut themselves away. so it's nice to interact with people to make you feel like you're welcome. the mainstream players here are students from the university of hertfordshire, selected so the football ability standard through the whole squad is similar. the principle really is this is the quickest way to promoting social inclusion. so breaking down barriers and just getting people on the pitch together with no responsibility other than playing football together. building friendships just happens so much quicker. it's the best form of coaching i've ever done. and look, the england manager. the fa provided their training base, the league managers' association the expertise. but gareth southgate was also here to learn about unified football, as he told me. it's not a concept i'd heard of previously,

but the idea that we all gain from mixing with and learning from each other i think is really rich. and i can see the excitement of the team and and also the challenge for everybody of how can we work together, how can we find ways of working together that i think will go way beyond what happens in the next few weeks for them as a team and into their everyday lives. can we see the training sessions? scotland's manager, steve clarke, is lending his support, too. something big must be happening soon. you're going! next month it's the special olympics in berlin. here's the moment whenjack venturini discovered he'd been selected. even chewy's celebrating, look! i was just in tears. my dog was jumping all over me and everything. but i was so happy to be picked for great britain and yeah, just outstanding to be here with all of the lads. that's it. play to win, play for britain.

but most of all, play for unity. joe wilson, bbc news, st george's park. i'm not sure who was more happy, jack or the dog! the dog thinks he has been selected. imagine if they win. and what is interesting watching that, you can't help but compare how progressive and inclusive that is to what happens in spain, they are just worlds apart. so many people coming together, for such a great moment, a great tournament, and yes, the isolation being felt by viciniusjunior com you have to question how serious the authorities are about tackling the issue, because this is not the first time it has happened, and alarmingly i'm sure it won't be the last either. john, thank you very much indeed. we will speak again a bit later. as jack will know from his dog... if you own a dog, you'll know that it has to be

microchipped by law. from june of next year, that will also apply to the nine million or so cats in england. cat chips! delicious. the hope is it will mean more lost pets can be reunited with their owners but there are concerns that the new legislation will be hard to police, as ben sidwell reports. looking for a new home. these are just some of more than 100 cats currently at the cats protection birmingham adoption centre in hollywood. many who end up here have never been microchipped. most of the cats that come in that are not microchipped, it's very rare that we would reunite that cat with its owner. you know, i would say it's probably less than a 5% chance. however, from nextjune, if your cat isn't microchipped and your contact details aren't up to date, you'll be breaking the law. big ginge is one cat who proves microchipping really does work. he went missing from the canal boat he lives on in 2011. ten years later, he was found

as a stray in lichfield, taken to a vet's and scanned, and is now happily back home in birmingham. he would have been another stray cat on the street, which he was when they found him, wasn't he? yeah. stray cat on the street with a lump on his side and looking _ thinner all the time. there's a steady stream of lost pets brought into haygate veterinary centre in telford. here they're hoping even if the number of strays don't fall, the new legislation will mean many more can quickly be returned home. i think it's fabulous news, to be honest, because cats, more than anything, are found straying. and anything that we can do to try and reunite them with owners and make it more easier to do that is brilliant news. on the other side of telford, shropshire's dog warden brings many strays to hillbrae kennels. but here they're not confident the new law will actually work. there'll be no will to enforce it. and what are you going to do? cats run free. is there going to be a warden that rounds up cats and scans them? and i don't think

it's very practical. i think it's a good idea, especially if you've got a valuable cat. with the law not coming into effect untiljune next year, cat owners still have plenty of time to get their beloved pets chipped. ben sidwell, bbc news. big ginger. he wouldn't mess with him! i wonder where they got the name from. i can't imagine. that's what it says on the can of cat food. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. beautiful sunshine in central london, good morning. beautiful sunshine in central london, aood morninu. ., london, good morning. good morning, both, aood london, good morning. good morning, both, good morning _ london, good morning. good morning, both, good morning to _ london, good morning. good morning, both, good morning to you. _ london, good morning. good morning, both, good morning to you. isn't - london, good morning. good morning, both, good morning to you. isn't it - both, good morning to you. isn't it glorious? the temperature in london at the moment is just over 10 degrees. compare that to the temperature in aberdeenshire, here it is currently 3.3 celsius. the other thing to mention is that today uv levels are moderate mostly high, so bear that in mind if you are

going to be spending any time outdoors. the weather today is dry for most of us, and in fact the forecast for the rest of the week is a mostly dry one as well. we are looking at some strong spells of sunshine, and some of that sunshine will be hazy at times because we are also going to be chasing cloud amounts up and down the country. what is happening today is we've got a weather front coming in across the north—west of scotland. that will take its cloud in light rain and drizzle science, including to northern ireland, but high pressure is bringing the rest of us settled conditions. so for england and wales today, a lot of dry weather but also some sunshine, through the course of the day a bit more cloud sinking into the south—east, and behind the weather front in scotland and northern ireland, they will brighten up. temperatures between 11 and the north to 22 in the south. through this evening and overnight, more cloud romps in from the north see across central and eastern parts of england, and also into central and eastern parts of scotland. there

will be clear skies as well, and in the clear skies in the north of scotland, temperatures could fall to three degrees, but generally we are looking at the range of 6—10. tomorrow we start off with this cloud across northern england, the midlands, towards the south—west, thick enough here and there just for the odd isolated shower, but for scotland and northern ireland, we are looking at a drier and brighter day, with temperatures once again reaching the dizzy heights of 22 celsius. then by the time we get towards the end of the week, we are looking at lingering cloud, the wins will be lighter so they won't be there to break up the cloud, but then eventually the cloud across central parts of in scotland will break up, and by late afternoon into the evening, we will be seeing more in the way of sunshine, with temperatures up to about 21 degrees. as i mentioned at the start, what we are looking at is a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, still

chasing cloud mounts, but having said that, we will see the temperature rising, especially into the middle of next week it looks like. said the middle of next week it looks like. .. the middle of next week it looks like. the middle of next week it looks like, ~' the middle of next week it looks like. ~ ., the middle of next week it looks like. ~ ., ~ like. said the bank holiday weekend is lookin: like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good. _ like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good, is _ like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good, is it? _ like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good, is it? it _ like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good, is it? it is - like. said the bank holiday weekend is looking good, is it? it is not - is looking good, is it? it is not lookin: is looking good, is it? it is not looking too — is looking good, is it? it is not looking too shabby, _ is looking good, is it? it is not looking too shabby, not - is looking good, is it? it is not i looking too shabby, not anything like the last one. fir looking too shabby, not anything like the last one.— looking too shabby, not anything like the last one. or the one before that on the — like the last one. or the one before that on the one _ like the last one. or the one before that on the one before _ like the last one. or the one before that on the one before that - like the last one. or the one before that on the one before that on - like the last one. or the one before that on the one before that on the l that on the one before that on the one before that!— one before that! well, yes! thank you. _ one before that! well, yes! thank you, carol, - one before that! well, yes! thank you, carol, that - one before that! well, yes! thank you, carol, that is i one before that! well, yes! i thank you, carol, that is good one before that! well, yes! - thank you, carol, that is good to hear. doesn't london look particularly glorious in the sunshine? it is coming up to ten to seven. he stole the show at the opening ceremony of last year's commonwealth games in birmingham. not you, jon. this guy. a huge mechanical bull, a symbol familiar to the city, with smoke billowing from his nostrils. the so—called raging bull was due to be scrapped after the games, but lots of people wrote it and said he had to be saved. he is going to be saved, and he will have pride of

place at birmingham new street station. shall we say that the breakfast viewers saved him? saved his bacon! luxmy gopal is with him this morning as he gets a few tweaks in preparation. he is looking the same as he was at the opening ceremony, luxmy. not quite, nina, good morning, and good morning, jon, and good morning, everyone. you can definitely recognise him from his starring role in the opening ceremony during the games, so you can tell the scale of it when you get up close and see quite how vastjust his eye socket is. and if you turn around here, you can see some of the other parts of him, and we have got the design, the head of the company who created him, mike. come over and join me. tell me, what is it that you are having to do to ensure that he can have a new life at birmingham new street station? the main thing is the fire regulations are extremely difficult, you are in a public building. so

thatis you are in a public building. so that is why all these pieces of his legs are arranged here. and this steel framework we are stepping through represents the space it has to fit through to get into this station at all. it to fit through to get into this station at all.— station at all. it is quite a challenge. _ station at all. it is quite a challenge, isn't _ station at all. it is quite a challenge, isn't it? - station at all. it is quite a challenge, isn't it? he. station at all. it is quite a challenge, isn't it? he is| station at all. it is quite a i challenge, isn't it? he is ten metres high. _ challenge, isn't it? he is ten metres high, so _ challenge, isn't it? he is ten metres high, so he - challenge, isn't it? he is ten metres high, so he has- challenge, isn't it? he is ten metres high, so he has to i challenge, isn't it? he is ten| metres high, so he has to be challenge, isn't it? he is ten - metres high, so he has to be broken down, so all the bits of his body are scattered around the building. you have pieces of the original foam here. �* . , , ., , here. and that 'ust shows the scale of it as wen. — here. and thatjust shows the scale of it as well. this _ here. and thatjust shows the scale of it as well. this is _ here. and thatjust shows the scale of it as well. this is one _ here. and thatjust shows the scale of it as well. this is one of- here. and thatjust shows the scale of it as well. this is one of the - of it as well. this is one of the legs, isn't it? of it as well. this is one of the legs. isn't it?— legs, isn't it? yes, so the interesting _ legs, isn't it? yes, so the interesting thing - legs, isn't it? yes, so the interesting thing about i legs, isn't it? yes, so the| interesting thing about the legs, isn't it? yes, so the - interesting thing about the legs legs, isn't it? yes, so the _ interesting thing about the legs now is because we have got to frame him, we are making the legs in the round, so i think it is going to look better in the station than it did in the commonwealth games, which is great. the commonwealth games, which is treat. �* , the commonwealth games, which is treat. , the commonwealth games, which is treat. �* , ., . ., ., great. and people watching at home would have seen _ great. and people watching at home would have seen the _ great. and people watching at home would have seen the way _ great. and people watching at home would have seen the way it - great. and people watching at home would have seen the way it looks i would have seen the way it looks during the opening ceremony, it had a lot of heft, didn't it? itjust looked like it was really heavy and made of metal, but look, it is not

samantha lee claims she was made a scapegoat. a victorian train station in south east london has had a £2.5 million restoration. peckham rye is one of the busiest stations in the capital. the work on the outside of the building has seen stonework restored and lost ironwork re—instated. the architect charles henry driver was celebrated for his cast—iron work, and so a really exciting aspect to this project is remaking in an iron foundry the last cast—iron crestings. so here you can see fabulous italian 23.75 carat gold that's been lovingly laid onto this ironwork here. let's take a look at the tubes now.

especially through the afternoon. and temperatures again tomorrow getting up to 21 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, for friday very similar conditions, chasing those cloud amounts around. but into the bank holiday weekend, at the moment it's looking fine, dry and sunny. that's it — more on our website and there's regular updates on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today. inflation is predicted to fall below 10% for the first time since august, when official figures are released later this morning. the orders are already here for a collection of the liverpool wholesale market. but even if inflation comes down, prices will still be rising sharply and significantly higher than they were a year ago. i found out about the impact of that on wholesalers, businesses and households. borisjohnson is referred to police by the cabinet office, over new claims that he broke

lockdown rules during the pandemic. he denies any wrongdoing. the independent police watchdog is to send investigators to cardiff following monday night's riot which started after two teenage boys were killed in a crash. alcohol—related deaths have risen by an was 90% in the past 20 years, according to a new study. the pandemic has made things worse. good morning from the roof at broadcasting house in london where the sun is beating down. for england and wales to date is going to be a dry day with sunny intervals. for scotland and northern ireland, cloudy with the odd spot of rain, but brighter behind it. good morning. it's wednesday, 24th may. our main story. inflation in the uk is expected to fall below 10% for the first time since august, when official figures

are released injust over an hour. —— injusta —— injust a few —— in just a few minutes. —— injust a few minutes. we are waiting for that number right now. economists have predicted the current rate of 10.1% could drop sharply, as last year's huge increase in the cost of energy is no longer part of the calculation. ben king reports. it was a surge in energy prices that sent inflation rising. and although households still face much higher bills, the big rise came more than a year ago, so it doesn't affect today's headline inflation number, which measures how much prices rose between last april and this april. petrol and diesel prices are actually falling... ..and food prices are rising less rapidly — all contributing to the biggest one—month fall in inflation for over 30 years. just because inflation is coming down, that doesn't mean prices are coming down. in fact, for most goods, they're still rising — just at a slower pace. and the question now is, how long will it take for those price rises to slow back to the level we're used to — where inflation is at its 2% target? if inflation proves persistent,

the bank of england may feel it needs to put up interest rates again. the inflation data over the next couple of months will be really key in determining which side of those views is right — whether the bank actually have done enough when it comes to increasing rates, or whether they will need to do more. which means, after the living costs we've been through, you've got £3.78 monthly. here at the stepchange debt charity in leeds, they help people who have been pushed to the edge by a year of rapidly rising prices. a lot of people dealing with council tax arrears, rent arrears, energy bills that they just can't afford. more than anything, the...perhaps sort of the cost—of—living crisis seems to have tipped people over from being in a position where they were in debt but managing, to now they can't afford their kind of basic needs and their basic budget with the debt payments on top. lower inflation should be a sign that the cost—of—living squeeze is getting a little

easier — but even then, it's not expected to get back to normal until next year or the year after. ben king, bbc news. in the last few moments we have learned that inflation has come down from 10.1% in march, 28.7% in april. what that means, if you think about it like that, prices been going up quite significantly. —— to 8.7%. the quite significantly. -- to 8.7%. the rate has slowed _ quite significantly. —— to 8.7%. iie: rate has slowed but quite significantly. —— to 8.7%. tie: rate has slowed but it quite significantly. —— to 8.7%. i““ie: rate has slowed but it is still a rate has slowed but it is still a rate of increase overall. ben is at a market in liverpool for us this morning. they are right at the sharp end of those rising prices that we have seen over the past year or so. good morning. good morning. yes, they are _ good morning. good morning. yes, they are busy fulfilling orders here — they are busy fulfilling orders here. the forklift trucks moving backwards and forwards, items being packaged _ backwards and forwards, items being packaged ready for businesses to

official suspect in this case by portuguese authorities. and the german police say that he visited this area around the time madeleine disappeared. he has not been formally charged in this case, ever. and he has denied any involvement. but german prosecutors said yesterday they have grounds to believe they may find evidence here in this reservoir. and there is a global media interest in this case. lots of media here from around the world watching and waiting to see what will happen. these search resumes today at around nine o'clock and it will last until at least the end of today. nafta ties, thank you for now. ten minutes past seven. borisjohnson has been referred to the police by the cabinet office, over new claims he may have broken lockdown rules during the pandemic. the former prime minister, who was fined last year for breaking covid rules in 2020, has strongly denied wrongdoing.

remains within the force. london underground workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of extending their mandate to continue taking strike action. it's part of a long—running dispute overjobs, pensions and conditions by the rmt union. the government is pressing ahead with legislation aimed at providing minimum levels of service during strikes. a victorian train station in south east london has had a £2.5 million restoration. peckham rye is one of the busiest stations in the capital. the work on the outside of the building has seen much of its ornate stonework restored and lost ironwork re—instated. the architect charles henry driver was celebrated for his cast—iron work, and so a really exciting aspect to this project is remaking in an iron foundry the last cast—iron crestings. so here you can see fabulous italian 23.75 carat gold that's been lovingly laid onto this ironwork here.

let's take a look at how the tube is looking this morning. there are minor delays on thejubilee line and on the metropolitan line, and severe delays with no service between willesden green and finchley road. now onto the weather with kate kinella. good morning. our week of settled conditions continue as we hang on high pressure. beautiful sunrise over in twickenham you can see earlier. we do have a little bit of cloud, fairly high in part, though, so some hazy sunshine. cloud thickening through the middle part of the day, just some fair weather cloud bubbling up, but still some sunny spells, and those sunny spells producing temperatures potentially up to 22 celsius. now, overnight tonight, we'll see some clear spells to start with. it stays dry. a bit more cloud edging in through the middle part of the night into thursday morning. minimum temperature six or seven celsius. so, for tomorrow, you can see high pressure remains with us, so very similar conditions.

now, we'll start to see the cloud edging a little bit further west through tomorrow, so we'll see brighter, sunnier spells edging in from the east, especially through the afternoon. and temperatures again tomorrow getting up to 21 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, for friday very similar conditions, chasing those cloud amounts around. but into the bank holiday weekend, at the moment it's looking fine, dry and sunny. that's it — more on our website, the bbc news app and there's regular updates on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back with the latest for lodnon in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. thanks forjoining us. there are calls this morning for the government to take the harm that is caused by alcohol more seriously. alcohol—related deaths in england have increased by 89% over the last two decades. the public accounts committee says

that there have been particularly sharp rises since the pandemic. celestina olulode reports. tammy survived alcohol addiction, but she remembers the dark days as well. the shame you bring to your family, the shame you bring to yourself, the guilt by seeing your daughter, your mum and everyone watch you slowly kill yourself. her decade—long struggle with alcohol got worse during the pandemic. diagnosed with cirrhosis, her liver was failing. so my liver started to bleed, and i was rushed to bristol hospital where i had a procedure which was supposed to be an hour. it lasted for five hours because there was more tears than they first thought. but luckily enough, i survived that.

but in hospital, she struggled without specialist support. it was still under rehab conditions, so i had no phone and my family could only visit once a week from london. but during that time as well, there was no support for the alcoholism. it was just for my liver. sometimes the nurses were so caring, they really were. but they didn't. .. i felt like they didn't have no knowledge of alcoholism and addiction. they would talk and laugh about being out on a weekend, getting drunk, you know, oblivious, but not theirfault at all. she says getting specialist support is what led to her recovery. now she's helping others. i think more money needs to be given to local services like alcohol and drug services. it will benefit everyone in the long run. these services are saving lives. they saved my life, and we are saving lives every day. sadly, not everyone has the same outcome as tammy.

a report by a group of mps that scrutinises government funding says that alcohol—related deaths have increased by 89% in the last two decades, and the harm associated with alcohol has cost the nhs more than £25 billion each year. but some mps believe that figure is higher. one of the challenges we found is there's not enough data on what is an alcohol—related disease. we're keen that the government goes back again and looks to see if it needs a specific alcohol—related strategy and that would deal with making sure that they are providing the right treatment because there's not enough of that available. but they're understanding that that treatment actually saves everybody money and benefits society and the individual. and we want to make sure that they really do look at the issue again in order to deliver what reduce the staggering number of deaths. a spokesperson for the government says it has published a ten—year plan for tackling drugs and alcohol—related harms, and it is investing an extra £532 million to create over

50,000 places in drug and alcohol treatment centres. but for people like tammy, that support is needed quickly. drinking's always been part of ourfamily. some people are in addiction and they are now looking at me and what i'm doing and seeing that recovery is possible. also on the younger generation, it's just been a great example for them. my daughter, our relationship in the past two years, we have built an amazing... we are best friends. celestina olulode, bbc news.

we're nowjoined by clare taylor from the support charity turning points. clare gave evidence to the inquiry which led to the report. i think perhaps what is most interesting about this is when people — interesting about this is when people do seek out help, it works. it people do seek out help, it works. it saves _ people do seek out help, it works. it saves lives, and it saves the economy. _ it saves lives, and it saves the economy, every £1 invested delivers £3 economy, every £1 invested delivers 5 pack _ economy, every £1 invested delivers £3 -ack. . economy, every £1 invested delivers £3 -ack. , «i ., economy, every £1 invested delivers £3 -ack. , ,. ., ., ., £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the — £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the support _ £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the support we _ £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the support we are - £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the support we are able - £3 pack. yes, we know that it works, we know the support we are able to i we know the support we are able to provide, organisations like the one i work for and others can help people make positive changes, whether that is about reducing the amount of alcohol somebody consumes or whether that is about becoming abstinent. so i think the key is how do we encourage more people to understand some of the risks associated with drinking excessively, with drinking at high risk levels, and encourage people to have conversations about it, to normalise those conversations and to seek out help and support at the earliest opportunity. bud seek out help and support at the earliest opportunity.— seek out help and support at the earliest opportunity. and if they do come forward. _ earliest opportunity. and if they do come forward, is _ earliest opportunity. and if they do come forward, is there _ earliest opportunity. and if they do come forward, is there treatment i come forward, is there treatment available to them?—

come forward, is there treatment available to them? there is. every local authority _ available to them? there is. every local authority has _ available to them? there is. every local authority has got _ available to them? there is. every local authority has got funded - available to them? there is. every| local authority has got funded drug and alcohol treatment services, and whilst we have had a disinvestment over the last ten years, there has been a recent commitment to increase funding after the national drug strategy in 2021, and we need to ensure that the funding continues and there is a long—term commitment across the sector so that we can see people and see people quickly. i think the average waiting times for treatment is less than three weeks if somebody does want to seek help, so it is about increasing awareness of what's available and making it easy for people. 50 of what's available and making it easy for people-— of what's available and making it easy for people. so it is there and it works. easy for people. so it is there and it works- a _ easy for people. so it is there and it works- a big — easy for people. so it is there and it works. a big question _ easy for people. so it is there and it works. a big question is, - easy for people. so it is there and i it works. a big question is, though, whether we are always aware that we are alcohol —dependent. there is a place for alcohol, it is social or even having a drink on your own is nice sometimes. do people always know that they are dependent, that they have crossed that line? itlat they have crossed that line? not alwa s, they have crossed that line? not always. and _ they have crossed that line? not always. and i— they have crossed that line? iirrt always, and i think that is part of the conversation that we need to have,is the conversation that we need to have, is to help create a better

understanding of what high—risk drinking is. we know what the threshold for low—risk drinking is, it is 14 units of alcohol a week, ideally spread over three days or more. . ., . ., ideally spread over three days or more-_ one i ideally spread over three days or i more._ one unit more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure _ more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure of— more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure of a _ more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure of a spirit, - more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure of a spirit, or - more. and what is a unit? one unit is one measure of a spirit, or 1.5 i is one measure of a spirit, or 1.5 units would be a small glass of wine, two units is a pint of beer, so it is having that information. and 14 units across a week? spread over a number— and 14 units across a week? spread over a number of— and 14 units across a week? spread over a number of days. _ and 14 units across a week? spread over a number of days. but - and 14 units across a week? spread over a number of days. but i - and 14 units across a week? spread over a number of days. but i don't i over a number of days. but i don't think there is as much understanding as we can try and create around the impact of high—risk drinking on health. it is linked to a number of cancers, to liver disease. we are seeing more people in treatment, more illness, people coming in to support at the end stage of liver disease, for example. so we want to try and encourage where possible people to seek out sooner. fine try and encourage where possible people to seek out sooner. one of the figures — people to seek out sooner. one of the figures that _ people to seek out sooner. one of the figures that really _ people to seek out sooner. one of the figures that reallyjumped - people to seek out sooner. one of the figures that reallyjumped out| the figures that reallyjumped out to me today in this report is that

there are 600,000 dependent drinkers in england, but 82% of them are not in england, but 82% of them are not in treatment, so the overwhelming majority are not getting any treatment whatsoever. stand majority are not getting any treatment whatsoever. and a key messaie treatment whatsoever. and a key message from — treatment whatsoever. and a key message from today _ treatment whatsoever. and a key message from today is, - treatment whatsoever. and a key message from today is, what - treatment whatsoever. and a key message from today is, what can | treatment whatsoever. and a key i message from today is, what can we all do to help normalise conversations around alcohol, to help people understand the risks and help people understand the risks and help people understand the risks and help people seek support sooner so that those people who were drinking at high risk levels or i drink independently understand what the risks are and to know where to go for help and support.

of wales, the cloud will melt away through the day, and through the day we will see some clout develop in the south—east and east anglia. temperatures rising from 11 in the north to 22 celsius in the south, depending on how much cloud cover we do get. through this evening and overnight, a lot of cloud forming in the north sea will make its way inland across central and eastern england and central and eastern parts of scotland, and under clear skies further north, we are looking at the temperature falling away to about three degrees in the north—east of scotland, but generally we are looking at a range of six to about ten or 11. tomorrow we start with the cloud across the midlands and down to the south—west, an isolated shower as possible from that, but for northern ireland and scotland, we are looking at a sunnier day than today, and once again our temperatures up to about 22 degrees. and for the rest of this week into the bank holiday weekend, the weather remains unsettled with sunny spells, and once again, areas

answer that question, and here are just two of them. i started thinking about thinking, who could i have in the book? and i was inundated, so everybody was watching, please send me more ideas, because i'm sure that there is more space to do fearless 2. there are so many women, like mimi anderson who was a fantastic endurance runner,, one of the most successful endurance runners in the world, and i didn't know who she was until i started looking. so i wanted to put their stories in a book, going to meet them, do the things they loved with them, which as i say was challenging, and then celebrate their stories. find was challenging, and then celebrate their stories.— their stories. and this was epic, this was probably _ their stories. and this was epic, this was probably the _ their stories. and this was epic, this was probably the most - their stories. and this was epic, this was probably the most epic| this was probably the most epic thing i did in the book, this is one i did with mimi, and that was cycling the border between chile and argentina, and we pretty much cycled the whole distance across argentina, and i thinkjust short of 1200 kilometres. it looks like you are in outer space, kilometres. it looks like you are in outerspace, it kilometres. it looks like you are in outer space, it was absolutely amazing and you can see this road

brain must be saying, don't do this, don't do this. or it is louise telling you? i love ice, so i love the cold, but i was more stressed because i had to wear a wet suit, and it took three people to get me in it, so i was already stressed before i got there, and then what you didn't know was when she went under the ice, you didn't know was when she went underthe ice, it you didn't know was when she went under the ice, it was probably as tall as. it under the ice, it was probably as tall as. ., , under the ice, it was probably as tall as. . . tall as. it was about a metre, so ou tall as. it was about a metre, so you think _ tall as. it was about a metre, so you think you — tall as. it was about a metre, so you think you are _ tall as. it was about a metre, so you think you are just _ tall as. it was about a metre, so you think you are just going - tall as. it was about a metre, so you think you are just going to l tall as. it was about a metre, so i you think you are just going to nip under, but you actually have to hold yourself under the ice, and it was something else, and i came out the other side and said a few explicit words that i never thought i would, we had fun the next day, louise sort of taught me to go on my back and look at the bubbles. i couldn't believe how relaxed louise was, she just loved it and wanted to keep doing it. ithink just loved it and wanted to keep doing it. i think what i learned about all of you, apart from the free diving, catheter speciality and

the rate of inflation fell to 8.7% in the year to april. that is down from 10.1% in march. it is the first time inflation has been in single figures since august last year. make no mistake though, prices are still rising. and that inflation figure is still higher than many economists were expecting and way above the bank of england's ideal target. i am at the wholesale market in liverpool finding out how it is affecting wholesalers, businesses and their customers. borisjohnson is referred to police by the cabinet office, over new claims that he broke lockdown rules during the pandemic. he denies any wrongdoing. the independent police watchdog is to send investigators to cardiff following monday night's riot which started after two teenage boys were killed in a crash. the racism row in spanish football. real madrid star viniciusjunior has

these numbers. it is not really straightforward, is it?- straightforward, is it? good morning- — straightforward, is it? good morning. good _ straightforward, is it? good morning. good morning. i straightforward, is it? good i morning. good morning. yes, straightforward, is it? (13999 morning. good morning. yes, welcome to liverpool wholesale market where they supply all sorts of businesses. they and stock up here on fresh produce. as you say, although the inflation figure has slowed, the price for so much of this stuff is still rising. 8.7%, the inflation figure for april. that means if you spend £100 on a range of things a year ago, they would now cost you an average £108 70 p. prices are still very much going up. and you've got to remember that inflation is an average. that means some items are still rising even more sharply than that. the most notable one, food. food prices we found out are still rising at 17.2%. something the

chancellor is all too aware of. these numbers show there is absolutely no room for complacency in the _ absolutely no room for complacency in the battle against inflation. food — in the battle against inflation. food price inflation is still worryingly high. that is why we have had food _ worryingly high. that is why we have had food producers, farmers, to talk about— had food producers, farmers, to talk about what— had food producers, farmers, to talk about what we can do to reduce the pressure _ pressure. and of course the other thing you have to do when you look at the inflation figure is related to wage rises. now we found out last week that average wages for the start of this year went up by 6.7%. compare that to average prices going up 8.7%, and it is very clear that people's wages, even though they have gone up for some people, not keeping up with average prices. —— are not keeping up. money is not going as farand are not keeping up. money is not going as far and people are less well off. the other thing is to consider it in terms of where the

bank of england likes to see inflation. ideally, it sees inflation. ideally, it sees inflation setting up 2%. 8.7% is way above that. while it is higher than the bank of and would like, it tends to raise interest rates, they are already at the highest since 2008, the question is, given that this inflation figure has come in higher than the bank itself was expecting, still higher than is comfortable and still higher than is comfortable and still putting pressure on households, with the bank of england put interest rates up even further? that is the big question. and for that, we will have to wait and see. interest rates providing one pressure through mortgages, inflation pressure through higher prices, so farfrom inflation pressure through higher prices, so far from a smooth road ahead. thank you. six minutes passed out. the police watchdog has said it will send investigators to cardiff after monday night's riots, after a fatal crash. south wales police said there were no police vehicles on the road were

teenagers tyree sullivan and harvey evans were killed. the force is now reviewing cctv footage showing a police van following two people on an electric bike just minutes before the accident. we can go live to cardiff and speak to our porter at the scene. we can see from the flowers behind you, the community trying to deal with this tragedy and with some serious questions about what happened?— with some serious questions about what happened? yes, the debris has now mostly — what happened? yes, the debris has now mostly been _ what happened? yes, the debris has now mostly been cleared _ what happened? yes, the debris has now mostly been cleared away, - now mostly been cleared away, replaced, as you say, with many, many flowers and balloons behind me. last night i was here. they were crowds on the street. there was high tension, but calm. i think perhaps people finding solace in being together. but two days on, there are an awful lot of questions still, especially around the circumstances which led to the deaths of those two teenage boys. that is because

initially the south wales police and crime commissioner said police were not chasing the boys at the time of the crash. then the bbc verified footage showing a police van following two boys on an e—bike in the moments before that crash happened. now, the south wales police and crime commissioner has been back on the radio this morning. he says he is still short of that what he says was the truth, but understands there could be some confusion and nowjust wants to make sure that everything is investigated properly. meanwhile, the io pc, the police watchdog, will also be sending investigators here to gather information. and we have two police investigations taking place. of course, the one into the deaths of these two boys and into the riots which have been here in ely afterwards. lots of questions for this community. both about what has happened this week. and also, where it leaves them going forward.

indeed. thank you for now. an elderly woman who was hit by a police motorcycle that was escorting sophie, the duchess of edinburgh, has died. helen holland was 81. her family said she fought for her life for nearly two weeks following the incident, but that irreversible damage to her brain finally ended the battle. an investigation into the crash by the police watchdog is ongoing. police will continue searching a reservoir in southern portugal today 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. navtaj johal is out of the scene for us this morning. we saw the beginning of the police activity yesterday. expecting more again today? yesterday. expecting more again toda ? ., v yesterday. expecting more again toda ? . �*. . today? that's right. there are reportedly _ today? that's right. there are reportedly four _ today? that's right. there are reportedly four areas - today? that's right. there are reportedly four areas of - today? that's right. there are l reportedly four areas of interest are being searched this week. and

yesterday, we saw the focus being on the mountainous scrubland which surrounds the reservoir, rather than the water itself. one of the key developments was that around lunchtime more than 20 officers were digging by the reservoir. they were a number of bags taken away from the search area, although we don't know what was inside them. we also saw forensics officers in white overalls combing the area, sniffer dogs moving along the bank at one point, an inflatable boat was launched into the water with a couple of police officers on it. what we haven't seen so far, and we may see later on, is possibly divers going under the water. that will be interesting to know if that is a develop and that takes place today. the reason we are here, as you say, 30 miles away from where madeleine went missing in 2007 in prior delusion, is because of the convicted sex offender christian brueckner. —— prior delusion. he is currently in prison following the rape of a 72—year—old woman in

the... last year he was named as an official suspect by portuguese authorities into this case. german police say he visited this area when madeleine went missing. he has always denied any involvement in the case and has never been formally charged. but yesterday a german prosecutor —— german project prosecutors say they have grounds to believe they may find evidence in the reservoir. no details about what that evidence might be or what they are hoping to find. we know the search is expected to resume in the next hour. it is expected to last until at least the end of today, possibly longer. they will be plenty of people watching and waiting to see what happens today. for now, thank you very much indeed. borisjohnson has been referred to the police by the cabinet office over new claims he may have broken lock down roads during the pandemic. the former prime minister, who was fined last yearfor the former prime minister, who was fined last year for breaking covid rules in 2020, has strongly denied any wrongdoing. nick eardleyjoins

us now. it is all sounding familiar. what more details do we know about the fresh allegations?— the fresh allegations? morning to ou. the fresh allegations? morning to you. government _ the fresh allegations? morning to you. government lawyers - the fresh allegations? morning to you. government lawyers were i the fresh allegations? morning to - you. government lawyers were helping prepare borisjohnson's submission prepare boris johnson's submission to prepare borisjohnson's submission to the covid public inquiry. i am told that they saw some entries in his diaries that if they were concerned about, so they passed them to civil servants. and civil servants then felt compelled to pass that on to police. we don't exactly what was in those diary entries, but there are reports in the times that it is to do with family and friends visiting borisjohnson at downing street, and chequers, the country mansion that prime ministers get to use at the weekend. 50 the met and thames valley police, who look after downing street and chequers, are now looking into the evidence that has been passed to them by the cabinet office. i have got to say, chatting

to boris johnson's office. i have got to say, chatting to borisjohnson's allies, they are absolutely furious about this. team johnson were saying last night that this has all the hallmarks of a political stitch up. they say that he has done nothing wrong. that all the rules were followed. but they are really angry. there are even suggestions that borisjohnson could end up suing the government. he is so angry at what is being said. once again we are talking about the covid rules, whether they were followed by the very politicians who were setting them. i think we are also potentially looking at a potentially —— we are looking at a potentially explosive row within the conservative party between boris johnson and his allies, rishi sunak and his government. they will certainly be some fallout. thank you. 13 minutes past eight. if you are about to hit the road, had to work or school this morning, hopefully you won't see anything quite like this.

although the kids would love this on the school run! it is a cowboy you're seeing. you can forget that is what cowboys do. i thought if theyjust hung around looking cool. he is trying to lasso a runaway cow after wranglers struggled to capture it. the police called him in. they wanted his help to catch the ball. well, they did. he managed to get it, chased him to the central reservation. it could have gone horribly wrong. luckily everybody is fine. no highway code charges were pressed against the bill. i wonder in salford if a cow or bull got loose, whether they would find them? there is a bull in london heading back to birmingham. we will catch up with that bull, it may be name it later. we will. quarter past eight. now let's check in with carol who is making the most of the sunshine. good morning. she looks confused. you can understand why.

i'm just glad they got that ball to move! that was a really bad joke. it is a lovely start to the day across many parts of the british isles today. the sun is beating down on my back. it is really lovely and warm. and really for most of us we are now in the high single figures or low double figures already. the forecast for the rest of this week is a largely dry one. we are also looking at some strong spells of sunshine. spells of strong sunshine. that is something to bear in mind if you are out and about. what we are looking at as we go through the day is, if we look —— if we move the camera, we have a weather front sinking southwards across scotland and northern ireland, and also looking at some spots of light rain or drizzle coming out of that. further south there is an area of cloud over the north of wales and north—west england at the moment. that will melt away. the sun will continue to

shine through. through the day what you will find is a little bit more cloud will sink southwards across the south—east and east anglia. temperatures today getting up to about 22 celsius, depending on how much cloud we get. $0, about 22 celsius, depending on how much cloud we get. so, we may not quite make it in london if the cloud moves in, but we should see it in cardiff, for example. as we head through the evening and overnight what we are looking at is all the cloud that is developing in the north sea sweeping into central and eastern parts of england, and also scotland. to the west and the north there will be clear skies. across north—east scotland, temperatures could follow 83 degrees. generally speaking we are looking at six to ten or 11 as overnight lows. tomorrow we start with the cloud northern ireland, the midlands coming to the south—west. you could catch the odd shower. pending on your point of view, you would be unlucky. for scotland and northern ireland, sunnier than today. and again tomorrow, we could reach 22 degrees. forthe again tomorrow, we could reach 22 degrees. for the rest of the week into the bank holiday weekend, even

into the bank holiday weekend, even into next week, high pressure remains in charge. the weather will be settled. there will be sunny spells. at times areas of cloud. at the moment it looks like the middle of next week we could see temperatures climb that bit more. i can't quite believe it, carol. we are all a bit amazed. there are no negatives. you have taken your jacket off for the first time this year. all is good. lovely to see you. some negatives, jon. some of us want to avoid the big pregnant ankles. he became the nation's pe teacher during the pandemic are keeping our spirits up at home during lockdown. joe wicks, of course. now he is going back to the classroom. he is. embarking on a tour of schools across the uk this week hoping to open children's eyes to the benefits of exercise. we will speak to him in a minute. first, the benefits of exercise. we will speakto him in a minute. first, a look at him in action.

these are kids from four to 11 years old. it shows the importance of a routine and having that consistency. we have to help them with boundaries, with getting that routine, because it is the most important thing for their attention at school and also their mood and their stress levels, but also, having the energy to exercise. when you are sleep deprived it is difficult. what i'm talking about is, as a family and school, to create a culture were getting an early night a good thing, celebrating an early night. you're investing in the day the next day, giving us as energy to achieve what you want. it is a big issue, sleep. because of screens and technology all sleep deprived, personally. can i ask a question about the family? are the little ones allowed a treat of the weekend? £31 are the little ones allowed a treat of the weekend?— are the little ones allowed a treat of the weekend? of course they are. m kids of the weekend? of course they are. my kids are — of the weekend? of course they are. my kids are obsessed _ of the weekend? of course they are. my kids are obsessed with _ of the weekend? of course they are. my kids are obsessed with food. - my kids are obsessed with food. every time i go anywhere, even out for the day, i was buying them a treat or sweet back. if anything, my kids will eat sweets all day long. they have a healthy diet but they enjoy their treats, their ice cream

childhood. my parents had addiction issues and mental health issues. exercise was my therapy. if i was a child in that situation i would love some to inspire me to use exercise and find that it will release from a difficult childhood. these areas are deprived. 80, 90% of the children are on free school meals. very low income families. if i can encourage them just to move their bodies more, maybe they can deal with the stresses at home. i explained that as a kid. i get more energy from doing these cool stuff because for me it is like they are the future generation of people that need to be active. if somebody is not inspiring them, somebody has to do it. your messaue them, somebody has to do it. your message has _ them, somebody has to do it. your message has always _ them, somebody has to do it. your message has always been around making a star, you don't always aspired to look like you. you can take that first step, that enough? my take that first step, that enough? my philosophy run thicknesses it should be accessible, it should be fun, you are good enough whatever you're doing. whether it is a price

so very similar conditions. now, we'll start to see the cloud edging a little bit further west through tomorrow, so we'll see brighter, sunnier spells edging in from the east, especially through the afternoon. and temperatures again tomorrow getting up to 21 celsius. now, as we head further through the week, for friday very similar conditions, chasing those cloud amounts around. but into the bank holiday weekend, at the moment it's looking fine, dry and sunny. that's it. more on our website, the bbc news app and there's regular updates on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back with the latest for london in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast. we have been reporting this morning that the annual rate of inflation fell to 8.7% in april, the first time since august last year that it has been in

single figures. a significant moment. inflation has been at 10.1%, that was for the month of march. ben is at a market in liverpool this morning. a significant number, ben, but important, we keep underlining this to stress that it doesn't mean prices are coming down. you this to stress that it doesn't mean prices are coming down.— prices are coming down. you are absolutely _ prices are coming down. you are absolutely right, _ prices are coming down. you are absolutely right, and _ prices are coming down. you are absolutely right, and that - prices are coming down. you are absolutely right, and that is - absolutely right, and that is something we are well aware of here at the wholesale market in liverpool, where all sorts of fresh produce are sold. it comes from all over the world, and that inflation figure, we had confirmation it is at 8.7%, so prices are still rising, and rising significantly, just not quite as sharply as they were before. but remember that figure is on average, so some things are rising in price even more sharply than that. food, for example, plenty of examples of it here. food inflation is running at i7.2%, that is near a record level. and at the same time, the bank of england has already put interest rates up to

4.5% to try to rein in price rises. this figure that we have had this morning is higher than the bank was expecting, and is way above the target of 2%. so the big question is whether we may see interest rates go up whether we may see interest rates go up even further in the short term, and that puts up the cost of borrowing, mortgages and so on. let's find out how it is affecting other businesses here. joe is in charge of this unit. how are you finding the price rises that we are seeing? it finding the price rises that we are seeinu ? . finding the price rises that we are seeina? , . ., ., seeing? it is increasing all the time. it has _ seeing? it is increasing all the time. it has levelled - seeing? it is increasing all the time. it has levelled off- seeing? it is increasing all the time. it has levelled off a - seeing? it is increasing all the time. it has levelled off a bit i seeing? it is increasing all the - time. it has levelled off a bit now. a couple _ time. it has levelled off a bit now. a couple of— time. it has levelled off a bit now. a couple of months ago it was really hard work— a couple of months ago it was really hard work to get stuff at the right price. _ hard work to get stuff at the right price. the — hard work to get stuff at the right price, the prices we had to pay were really— price, the prices we had to pay were really high — price, the prices we had to pay were really high. they have eased back a bit now— really high. they have eased back a bit now but — really high. they have eased back a bit now but it is still the knock—on effect _ bit now but it is still the knock—on effect from — bit now but it is still the knock—on effect from the growing period. and how does effect from the growing period. fific how does that affect effect from the growing period. a"ic how does that affect the people who come and buy from you? their demand is a lot lower — come and buy from you? their demand is a lot lower than _ come and buy from you? their demand is a lot lower than it _ come and buy from you? their demand is a lot lower than it normally - come and buy from you? their demand is a lot lower than it normally is, - is a lot lower than it normally is, because — is a lot lower than it normally is, because people's eating habits change. — because people's eating habits change, they go from fresh fruit and vegetahles— change, they go from fresh fruit and vegetables to tinsjust change, they go from fresh fruit and vegetables to tins just to cut cost on the _ vegetables to tins just to cut cost on the family, because they have

now cost you £108 so you can see how life is still much more expensive thanit life is still much more expensive than it was 12 months ago. thank you, and that is the important message. you will know at home where you are feeling it. it is very different for every household, but if you head across to bbc online, there is a personal calculator there which will help you take in a more detailed look at where exactly it pinpoints and it is impacting you. on the programme yesterday, we gave kevin sinfield a print of this picture, which has gone viral over the internet in the last couple of weeks, and the illustration of him carrying his best friend rob burrow across the finishing line at the leeds marathon. the picture was done by oscar—winning illustrator charlie mackesy also put it on sale with two thirds of the £30 price tag going to the rob burrow centre for motor neurone disease. sales have gone

really well. in the last 24—hour is, 1600 copies have been sold, and at one point yesterday morning, charlie's website crashed. 1600 copies so far, so that means £32,000 for the research, which i know will make kevin sinfield and rob burrow very happy indeed. it was a wonderful moment, and beautifully captured in the illustration. john is here with the sport, starting with the spanish racism row, which goes on. yes, one of their biggest stars is at the centre of it, and this despite alerting the referee, play continued, with his frustration spilling over later. real madrid

have been fined and had part of their stadium closed. vicinius said in a tweet that the league belongs to racists. here, raphinha shared a message on his shirt last night which read, we are together, vinisius. carlo ancelotti said he would take his players off the pitch if it happened again. translation: vinicius is not guilty. he's a victim who can be painted as guilty sometimes when people say he's provoking or talking about his attitude. no, let's make it very clear. vinicius is the victim of all this. condemning is not enough. when did we start doing at? we've been condemning racism for very long time, but after condemning, one needs to act, and nobody has

acted yet in a way that makes this problem go away. it's a problem of racism and it's a problem of insults. it's not for the first time this season that a player has suffered racial abuse. after winning their third league title in a row, manchester city manager pep guardiola has been facing questions. questions about the premier league charges. the club were hit with 100 breaches of the financial rules which were said to have occurred between 2000 92018. the manager says he wants it dealt with as soon as possible. mark cavendish announced he will be retiring from professional cycling at the end of the year on monday. later today he will have a chance to add to his 16 previous victories the g red italia. his friend and fellow briton geraint thomas is back in the overall lead after he finished second on

yesterday's stage after going head—to—head with the best young rider in the race. thomas leads the portuguese by 18 seconds with five stages to go. the race finishes on sunday. harriet dart and katie boulter kept alive their hopes of making the main draw of this year's french open with victories in first round qualifying yesterday. and in men's qualifying, liam broady is also through. you couldn't miss him. most of the chat centring around his rather colourful outfit. some comparing it to a deckchair. probably get away with that at roland garros, i don't think it would at wimbledon. it caught the eye of andy murray social media. andy murray commented, "did you actually wear that at roland garros? "fair play, mate, that's a shocker!" and harriet dart chipped in with, "interesting". that is a fair choice of word. interesting being a euphemism at that point, isn't it? we should get

you one of those! after all his years of experience, it proves that sir alex still has plenty to share, and he paid a visit to rugby union side sale sharks ahead of their premiership final showdown with saracens yesterday. interestingly, the most interesting negative detail continuing in the sartorial theme there, he said to the players, whatever you do, don't wear a white suit to the final. of course in reference to the liverpool players that turned up rather overdressed and rather underperformed in the 19905. he doesn't miss an opportunity, does he? may be he is deviating to another sport because of manchester city's success this season. they train at carrington as well, so it is just around the corner, united, so i'm sure he looked in as well just to check everything was all right. as he left it. thank you for your fashion bulletin. we have had it all, haven't we? it

is 8.47. the football season is nearing its climax, and a team is preparing to represent great britain in unified football. each team combines mainstream footballers and players with intellectual disability. the british team will take part in the special olympics next month, here's more from joe wilson. these footballers have an intellectual disability, and these don't. put them together in a team, and where's the difference? that's unified football, great britain's squad. i never thought i'd be able to get to this point in my life, because i struggled with finding jobs, struggling and socialising, so i never thought i'd get the opportunity to come here. some people feel like they're not welcome in a group of people that haven't got an intellectual disability, so they shut themselves away. so it's nice to interact with people to make you feel like you're welcome. the mainstream players here are students from the university of hertfordshire, selected so the football ability standard through the whole squad is similar. the principle really is this is the quickest way to promoting social inclusion. so breaking down barriers and just

getting people on the pitch together with no responsibility other than playing football together. building friendships just happens so much quicker. it's the best form of coaching i've ever done. and look, the england manager. the fa provided their training base, the league managers' association the expertise. but gareth southgate was also here to learn about unified football, as he told me. it's not a concept i'd heard of previously, but the idea that we all gain from mixing with and learning from each other i think is really rich. and i can see the excitement of the team and and also the challenge for everybody of how can we work together, how can we find ways of working together that i think will go way beyond what happens in the next few weeks for them as a team and into their everyday lives. can we see the training sessions? scotland's manager, steve clarke, is lending his support, too. something big must be happening soon. you're going!

next month it's the special olympics in berlin. here's the moment whenjack venturini discovered he'd been selected. even chewy's celebrating, look! i was just in tears. my dog was jumping all over me and everything. but i was so happy to be picked for great britain and yeah, just outstanding to be here with all of the lads. that's it. play to win, play for britain. but most of all, play for unity. joe wilson, bbc news, st george's park. that's absolutely brilliant, isn't it? it isjust that's absolutely brilliant, isn't it? it is just gone ten to nine. from her rise to fame as a model to forging a career in tv and radio, lisa snowdon has a life many would envy. but when she reached the menopause, she said she hit rock bottom and struggled sometimes with every aspect of life. she has written a book to tell other women

that life doesn't have to end with the onset of menopause. we are delighted to say that lisa joins us now in the studio. good morning to you. now in the studio. good morning to ou. . ~' now in the studio. good morning to ou. . ~ , ., now in the studio. good morning to ou. . ~' i., ., now in the studio. good morning to ou. . ~ ., . you you. thank you for having me. you look fantastic, _ you. thank you for having me. you look fantastic, lovely _ you. thank you for having me. you look fantastic, lovely to _ you. thank you for having me. you look fantastic, lovely to have - you. thank you for having me. you look fantastic, lovely to have you l look fantastic, lovely to have you here. the menopause for women, we know it is coming and yet still, time after time, we hear that it takes you by surprise by how much can impact your life. so takes you by surprise by how much can impact your life.— takes you by surprise by how much can impact your life. so many women 'ust don't can impact your life. so many women just don't realise _ can impact your life. so many women just don't realise that _ can impact your life. so many women just don't realise that it _ can impact your life. so many women just don't realise that it happens - just don't realise that it happens in their 405, even earlier, and we haven't been having this conversation, so we haven't been aware of the signs and symptoms, and there are about 60 and counting, and they are not the obvious ones. so a lot of people think the menopause is coming, but it is much further in the future. it is somebody who is much more frail, white hair, may be much more frail, white hair, may be much older. and then you think, i am still having my periods and not having hot flushes. the anxiety, the depression, the weight gain, all these other things i struggled with, and ijust want

these other things i struggled with, and i just want women to not struggle as long as i did being misdiagnosed, getting on hrt and just suffering in silence and feeling really low. it just suffering in silence and feeling really low.— feeling really low. it is interesting _ feeling really low. it is interesting timing, - feeling really low. it is- interesting timing, because feeling really low. it is interesting timing, because louise minchin was here earlier and she did a series for breakfast as the conversation about menopause was beginning to open up and become more public. but despite that conversation, it is still something that a lot of people don't talk about and aren't aware of, and help is necessarily there. i about and aren't aware of, and help is necessarily there.— is necessarily there. i think a lot of women _ is necessarily there. i think a lot of women are — is necessarily there. i think a lot of women are afraid _ is necessarily there. i think a lot of women are afraid to - is necessarily there. i think a lot of women are afraid to talk- is necessarily there. i think a lot| of women are afraid to talk about is necessarily there. i think a lot. of women are afraid to talk about it because it signifies getting old. women are worried because obviously, for me i think i definitely can't have a baby, they're all these implications, and i think that it has been to taboo for so long. we need to be shouting from the rooftops, and doctors need to be more educated and we need to talk about it in school. it is a hormone

imbalance, starting in perimenopause or menopause, so there is lots that needs to be done. but i feel like us ladies can take it into our own hands, because once we recognise what is happening to us, we can start keeping a diary, writing lists, and then going to the doctor and saying, this is what is happening to me, and that is what i always recommend, because you have such a short appointment time, i went in and just burst into tears in the doctor's surgery, i didn't know what's happening. perimenopause, that word didn't exist in my world, so i couldn't go in and say, i am perimenopausal. i wish i had had that list. everything is in the book just to get you on yourjourney to get the right diagnosis and to get on the right treatment, whatever that may be. and to make these different changes in your life as well. not every body wants to take hrt and it is not a silver bullet, you need to implement lots of other changes. you can do that with diet and exercise and meditation and movement and all of that sort of stuff. �* . movement and all of that sort of stuff. . . , ., movement and all of that sort of stuff. . . , . , ., movement and all of that sort of stuff. . . , . , ., stuff. and that is what you try to encapsulating — stuff. and that is what you try to encapsulating the _

stuff. and that is what you try to encapsulating the book, - stuff. and that is what you try to | encapsulating the book, because stuff. and that is what you try to i encapsulating the book, because it was inspired by yourjourney and the fact that it took you by surprise at an age before you were expecting it, but you recognised within the book from speaking to other women and to experts, every woman is different. and everyone is different, everybody�*s jenny is and everyone is different, everybody�*sjenny is unique. some women sail through, but also i think, nina, like us women are so programmed to soldier through, sometimes we don't want to get out of bed without menstrual cycles every month, but we dig deep and get on with it, we take painkillers and off we go. and it is not really acceptable. that quality—of—life, when is enough enough? if you are feeling shocking, if there are things going on, you are not sleeping, you have but don't debilitating confidence issues and all that anxiety and depression that is wrapped up in this phase of a woman's life, it needs to be tackled, and we shouldn'tjust struggle on regardless. that is not acceptable in my world. and that is why the book is called just getting

started, because i want us to get this phase out of our way and have the right tools to move forward into this new phase, into your second spring which is what chinese medicine call it. it is a beautiful way of looking at it. you can go out there and you can start living your best life and ticking off things from your bucket list and maybe your children are growing up and not living at home any more and you can go off and do the things you always wanted to do. so i want to empower women to take ownership of how they are feeling in their lives and to move forward. we live longer these days. move forward. we live longer these da s. �* ., ., , days. and without monthly roller-coaster _ days. and without monthly roller-coaster that - days. and without monthly roller-coaster that every . days. and without monthly - roller-coaster that every month roller—coaster that every month sneaks up on you when you think, what is happening again, and then all of a sudden, you bleed and you realise, that was it. every single month. . ., ., . ., month. that hormonal roller-coaster that we have — month. that hormonal roller-coaster that we have lived _ month. that hormonal roller-coaster that we have lived with _ month. that hormonal roller-coaster that we have lived with all— month. that hormonal roller-coaster that we have lived with all our- that we have lived with all our lives, it is nice when you can just tweak a few things and get on the right, getting the right headspace and kiss goodbye to those periods, which i don't miss at all. hallelujah! so it is a really good

place to be, and that is why i wanted to write the book and help women to not struggle as long as i didn't spend all the money i spent, i waited so much time and money. so there is so much advice in there. and this is a journey of discovery for men, who can help.— for men, who can help. yes, my artner for men, who can help. yes, my partner is— for men, who can help. yes, my partner is in _ for men, who can help. yes, my partner is in the _ for men, who can help. yes, my partner is in the book, - for men, who can help. yes, my partner is in the book, his - for men, who can help. yes, my| partner is in the book, his advice for loved ones, because he was incredible. i don't know how he had this incredible insight to understand that there was something else going on. it wasn'tjust me turning into the devil every other day, just directing this hatred at him. ratherthan running day, just directing this hatred at him. rather than running away, he just kind of understood that there was something else going on, thank goodness. was something else going on, thank aoodness. ,., ., ., , ., , ., goodness. good morning, george, you sound like a — goodness. good morning, george, you sound like a keeper! _ goodness. good morning, george, you sound like a keeper! we _ goodness. good morning, george, you sound like a keeper! we live _ goodness. good morning, george, you sound like a keeper! we live with - sound like a keeper! we live with men, we sound like a keeper! we live with men. we work — sound like a keeper! we live with men, we work with _ sound like a keeper! we live with men, we work with men, - sound like a keeper! we live with men, we work with men, we - sound like a keeper! we live with | men, we work with men, we raise sound like a keeper! we live with - men, we work with men, we raise men, so they have to understand what is happening too. i'm all for everybody learning as much as they can and hopefully reading the book. and you are talkin: hopefully reading the book. and you are talking very _ hopefully reading the book. and you are talking very personally, - hopefully reading the book. and you are talking very personally, but - hopefully reading the book. and you are talking very personally, but you |

and i want to feel like me again, i look like me again, so there are personal bits, but it is in there for a reason, and it isjust so personal bits, but it is in there for a reason, and it is just so that anybody hopefully relate to the different struggles that we deal with, and my story isn't unique to me. so many women have gone through what i been through. you are a wonderful advert for the second spring. the element thank you so much. life beyond the manifold is something for women to look forward to rather than dread. having worked as a model, in the media, there is that extra pressure to disguise, to hide, to move on, is that what you felt like?— that what you felt like? definitely in the modelling _ that what you felt like? definitely in the modelling industry - that what you felt like? definitely in the modelling industry there i that what you felt like? definitely i in the modelling industry there were times when i didn't feel like i wanted to go on to a photo shoot because i was puffy and swollen and may be bleeding really heavily and all that sort of stuff, so that does come into play a little bit. you have that slight body dysmorphia, i think, as women do when we are going through those hormonal changes. but there is pressure in every industry,

good morning, welcome to the nation's phone and, on the radio and on the telly. borisjohnson, yes, is it a lockdown stitch up? that is the question, i am asking you. the former prime minister has been referred to the police over more potential role breaking during covid lockdowns. once more unto a breach, dearfriends. does it still lockdowns. once more unto a breach, dear friends. does it still matter what the prime minister did during that surreal period in our lives? cabinet office lawyers, who were reviewing his diaries ahead of the covid public inquiry,say they were obliged

to pass on evidence of potential law—breaking
