good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. our headlines today. chaotic and inadequate. inspectors say maternity services at two hospitals in kent are getting worse, after an earlier inquiry found the deaths of 45 babies could have been avoided. an 11—year—old boy's critically ill in hospital after being hit by a police van in lancashire. you know you fall into a form of or canal customer —— do you know what

to do if you fall into the sea or you fall into a lake? the answer is wrote to. as the cost of the weekly shop continues to go up, the boss of one of the uk's biggest supermarkets denies they are profiting unfairly from rising food prices. the title may be city's but manchester united can celebrate champions league football next season. a thumping win over chelsea secures their spot in the premier league's top four with a game to spare. as we head into the bank holiday weekend, you will want to dry and sunny. i have got all the details from the session. —— from gloucestershire. it's friday the 26th of may. our main story. health inspectors have found that maternity care at two hospitals in east kent has got worse since a damning review was published in october.

last year the kirkup review found that 45 babies might have survived if they'd received better care at the hospitals in margate and ashford but a new inspection by the care quality commission found significant problems at both units. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. there have been maternity problems at the east kent hospitals trust for almost a decade. today's report shows care is getting worse. following an unannounced inspection injanuary to the william harvey hospital in ashford, the care quality commission found multiple examples of inadequate practices. staff didn't always wash their hands or wear gloves or aprons between different patients. life—saving equipment wasn't what it should be or regularly cleaned and checked. there weren't enough staff, either doctors or midwives. those that were there didn't have the right skills or experience to treat patients. we've learned that inspectors were so concerned about the quality of care that they wrote to nhs england, asking them to draw up contingency plans in case they had to close inpatient maternity facilities. a highly unusual move and an insight

into the gravity of their concerns. helen lost her daughter harriet in 2014 due to poor care at the trust. she's exasperated by today's findings. i feel incredulous that things have got so much worse. we've been told now for years that there was so much effort going into making things better, that it was ok, it was safe enough, things were improving, they were on a journey and it's clear that that was not true. good morning. last october, an independent review into maternity care at the trust found that at least 45 babies over an 11 year period could have survived with better care. it should have been a watershed moment, but today's findings indicate care has worsened and inspectors are closely monitoring east kent. it does mean enhanced scrutiny and enhanced oversight. so we're monitoring their compliance with conditions, we're monitoring information that we receive of concern continuously. the east kent trust said it had acted at once to response

to the cqc safety concerns, including hiring more staff and introducing a new cleaning regime. michael buchanan, bbc news. a boy is in a critical condition after he was hit by a police van which was responding to a 999 call. it happened in lancaster yesterday evening. our reporter mike stevens is at the scene. what more can you tell us about what happened? the what more can you tell us about what hauened? . happened? the boy was crossing the road 'ust happened? the boy was crossing the road just behind _ happened? the boy was crossing the road just behind me _ happened? the boy was crossing the road just behind me just _ happened? the boy was crossing the road just behind me just before - road just behind me just before 8:30pm last night when he was hit by a marked police car —— police van which i a zeppelin site was attending an emergency call. he was then taken to the local hospital where his condition was described as critical. this is a fairly busy stretch of road, it is outside what

used to be the local secondary school. behind me this morning an engineer is inspecting a set of traffic lights which are quite clearly been knocked over. an investigation has now been launched and lancashire police had referred itself to the independent office for police conduct. a vigil will be held in cardiff tonight to the two teenagers who died in a crash which sparked a night of rioting. kyrees sullivan and harvey evans were riding an electric bike when the incident took place in the ely area on monday night. they'd been followed by officers from south wales police shortly before the tragedy. police are continuing to question a man who was arrested after a car crashed into the gates of downing street. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving, and the incident is not currently being treated as terror related. simonjones reports. captured by a bbc camera. this is the moment a car is driven towards downing street. if you look at the footage again,

the vehicle, a silver kia, appears to slow down before it hits the gate. the car then comes to a halt, prompting a huge police response. everybody back! everybody, move back! officers quick to tell people to get away from the area as they deal with the driver. move back! move back, please! ifirstly heard a big bang over there so ijumped to my feet and i saw a lot of children running away. teenagers, if you like, running away this way. i saw a silver car had rammed the gates at downing street. a lot of armed police came out. this is the man being led away. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving. the car was extensively searched. people were told to stay inside their offices. the prime minister and the chancellor were in downing street at the time. but a couple of hours after the crash, the met said it wasn't being treated as terror related. one mp who was caught up in a terror attack at westminster in 2017

praised the response of officers not knowing initially what they might be facing. in a world where the world's getting more dangerous than getting safer, then we have to be vigilant and we have to recognise that the police begin their day, any police officer starts their day not knowing how it's going to unfold. so a huge tribute to the police acting swiftly in this case. but still, we have an awful lot to understand as to what happened here. last night, the car was taken away for further examination as police try to determine what caused the crash. thankful that nobody was injured. simon jones, bbc news. simon joins us now from whitehall. we can see the gates of downing street immediately behind you, inevitably there has been scrutiny over policing and security, might change? over policing and security, might chance? ,, , ., ., change? downing street is also one ofthe change? downing street is also one of the most — change? downing street is also one of the most closely _ change? downing street is also one of the most closely guarded - change? downing street is also one of the most closely guarded district| of the most closely guarded district in the country and it will this

morning and it will remain that way going forward. things are calm here but it was a very different question yesterday at liz20pm. asked about van, it was from over there that the car initially came across the road, it came across two lanes, it was fortunate it didn't actually hit any other vehicles. fortunate it didn't actually hit any othervehicles. it fortunate it didn't actually hit any other vehicles. it ended up ploughing through the barriers here and into the front of the gate at downing street. there is already tight security here in terms of our lives, railings, gates, to stop any vehicle that is not allowed into downing street in i think is interesting, when you look at the footage, it's how people reacted in the aftermath. some people started running away straightaway from the scene when they heard a loud bang with the vehicle gates, but other people, as we see so, got out their

mobile homes and started building the aftermath. that is when you see the aftermath. that is when you see the police start shouting at people to get away from the area for their own safety, because they simply did not know what they were dealing with at that stage. witnesses say the man in the car was dragged out of it by officers, pinned to the ground and had tasers aimed at him. the police security remains tight, armed officers remain here this morning although that is not out of the ordinary. these will be satisfied with the way they quickly dealt with this incident, whatever the cause of it. ., ~ this incident, whatever the cause of it. . ~ , ., this incident, whatever the cause of police officers investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann have completed their search of a reservoir in portugal and sent material back to germany forforensic analysis. the three—day operation took place around 30 miles from where madeleine disappears, as navtej johal reports. the end of three days of intense, focused activity. as vehicles carrying equipment left the scene of the search operation yesterday afternoon,

there were questions about what — if anything — police had found on the peninsula of the arade reservoir, where their work had been taking place since tuesday. over the course of the week, police have used a variety of equipment to clear undergrowth, dig the ground, and search for evidence. everything from drones to sniffer dogs have been seen in the area. and this is where they've been focusing their efforts. you can see the amount of work that's been done to clear and flatten this area, the holes that have been left behind. and portuguese police say that the samples collected here are now on their way to germany. the operation — requested by german police — has been trying to find evidence in connection to the disappearance of madeleine mccann. last year, the convicted german sex offender christian bruckner was named as an official suspect in the case by portuguese authorities. he is known to have visited the reservoir at the time madeleine went missing. he denies being involved, and has never been charged over her disappearance. the german authorities have not said this week what they were hoping to find here,

due to what they described as "tactical reasons". but we may hear soon whether anything significant has been uncovered. navtejjohal, bbc news, in the algarve. newly released fbi documents have revealed that queen elizabeth faced a potential assassination threat during a 1983 visit to california. agents received information that a man was planning to drop an item off the golden gate bridge when the royal yacht britannia was sailing underneath, or would attempt to kill the queen when she visited yosemite national park. the file claimed he was seeking revenge after his daughter was killed in northern ireland. if you're still not over eurovision, there's a chance to own a piece of it forever. the bbc will auction off more than 60 items, including costumes, props, and even parts of the liverpool stage used in this year's song contest. the memorabilia goes under the hammer on tuesday.

it's just coming up to 12 minutes past six. it's going to be another sunny weekend for much of the uk today. matt's in the cotswolds with the forecast. what a beautiful place you are able, matt. stunning, we have got a visual treat for you today. we are in the kiftsgate court gardens this morning, it has been run by the same funny —— family were generations and it is stunning at the moment. it is a little bit on the fresh side here, and if you had to clear skies during the night, it will be for you as well. it will warm up quite nicely in sunny spells for the vast majority, cooler around the coast especially

where you have the breeze coming in off the sea. that will limit the temperatures for some of you. some cloud around, a few patches across england and wales, midlands, london england and wales, midlands, london england and wales, midlands, london england and the south—east, they will melt away although more cloud will melt away although more cloud will bubble up later. the banks of the sunshine and east ridge with the best of the sunshine will be east. evening and overnight, the cloud will thicken up further at times in northern england. mostly dry, clear skies, a few myths and rock patches —— a new midst and ogg patches. a zone of cloud with a few showers

will push its way through the day, most of the day will be dry but poor that i holiday weekend is looking largely dry but the full ball because half an hour. fire service chiefs are warning e—bike and e—scooter riders to buy them from reputable dealers, after an increase in devastating fires caused by battery explosions. some of the explosions were caught on film and shared by fire brigades to show exactly how dangerous they can be. tim muffett has the story. avi noticed a strange smell coming from his electric bike last saturday. so i was going to go and just double check if it was the smell coming off the bike. then this. i was so scared. plan was to take my bike downstairs to the garage ready

for work the next morning. thank god i didn't go in the lift and it didn't explode in the lift. you know what? i'm still in shock. i still sit down, and because we've got the video that we can see exactly what happened. yeah, i was lucky my kids are still here. london fire brigades don't yet know the precise cause of the explosion. the bike wasn't being charged at the time. it had been bought second—hand with an additional battery pack fitted. we've seen a real surge in these fires compared to the same period last year, 60% increase in these fires. and we're having one like the film you've shown today every other day. sophia was staying at her boyfriend's flat in london on new year's day. a bike that had been converted into an e—bike caught fire in the flat hallway after its lithium battery pack failed catastrophically. she died.

sophia died because of one bike. what's your message to people who have an e—scooter or an e—bike? what do you say to them? i say buy something good. leave outside. maybe it's expensive, but it's better. the people need to see what happened to my daughter. and do something, for don't happen again. from thinking there's something wrong with your e—bike or your e—scooter potentially stored in your home to it flashing over and causing an unsurvivable environment can be as little as ten seconds, and that's our concern. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. typically, they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. but if a battery cell heats up uncontrollably, it can lead to a chain reaction known as thermal runaway. it's what happened in illingworth

in west yorkshire in late february when an electric motorbike had been left on charge in a house overnight. four people were taken to hospital. fortunately, none of their injuries were life threatening. so what should someone do then if they have an e—bike or an e—scooter and they want to charge it safely? don't charge when you're asleep. don't charge unattended. don't charge them on your escape route. use the right charger for the battery and ideally buy, if it's an e—bike or an e—scooter, buy it from a reputable dealer where you know the provenance, you know, you can see the safety data sheet that's associated with that battery. south western railway announced this week that e—scooters will be banned from next month because of potential fire risks. great western railway and transport for london have already banned them. they can be a safe, environmentally friendly way of getting about.

but as the popularity of e—scooters and e—bikes grows, fire brigades are concerned by the rising number of fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries. tim muffett, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the telegraph features a large image of armed police officers surrounding a car after it crashed into the gates of downing street. the daily express carries a pledge from prime minister rishi sunak which reads, "we must and will cut the number of people moving to the uk". that's after official figures showed uk net migration was a record 606,000 last year. the guardian reports on leaked documents which reportedly show the government has drawn up plans to deport more than 3,000 asylum seekers every month from january

under the provisions of the illegal migration bill. and the i reports that those latest migration figures mean britain is set to overtake france to become europe's second—largest population for the first time ever. a quick look at some of the inside pages. we have a theme this morning, we are at the sea, we are withjohn maguire in cornwall talking about safety in the water. a couple of pictures to draw your attention to. this is an extraordinary picture. this is an extraordinary picture. this appears to be a bottlenose dolphin which was picked up by a drone user in north wales. rhys jones is the photographer who flies drones near the coast. just the way the sound and the water came up, you can see it looks just like a dolphin. the other one from the

so, you know, we're not talking about anywhere near that. but he's not holding his breath for something that would require legislation. instead, small steps are being taken. already, there are plans to charge tourists to use these loos while locals have a concession card. and he's pushing ahead with plans for a voluntary community charge. a local based system, if we can get something implemented, it would be really good for all of cornwall, because if we get a model that works, you can roll it out across, you know, the whole of cornwall. and the goal is just to make the place better and make it more sustainable. i think it's a good idea. obviously not too expensive and it doesn't put people off and the collection of it's going to be quite difficult. but as i said, i think we've got lots of people that do visit st ives and visit st ives regularly that absolutely love st ives. and i think they feel like sometimes it would be nice to give something back rather than to take as they sometimes feel. so i think it's a good idea. the fact that they do it abroad, lit would be very valid to do iti

here and in devon because it's a beautiful part of the world i and we pay it abroad without questioning. so maybe we should here. there's a similar debate in wales whether we should have a tourism tax or a levy. anything that helps keep local people employed i think is a good thing. if the money stays locally, it's a great thing. if itjust goes out with other people that i think it's not so good for the local people. at this holiday park above the town, though, there's less of a warm welcome. accommodation providers tend to be the ones who collect any contributions. i already pay my business rates, i pay the bids levy and suddenly there's something else potentially going to be put on as well. so i do have a lot of questions. and it's argued already visitors contribute in a way. so this could put people off. in effect they do. if they're buying stuff locally, if they're paying for accommodation, then they are providing employment for a lot of local people. if the message to go out is, well, we don't want visitors to come to st ives, put a levy on them. i think from a pr point of view it could be very damaging.

well, visit cornwall says it is time that options were looked into at how visitors could contribute in one way or another. and the voluntary charge is an interesting idea that some businesses might be prepared to sign up to. but it also says that visitors should be made aware of what they were paying towards. meanwhile, the head of visit devon has raised some concerns that it could discourage some tourists. john maguire will be live in the beautiful part of the world later on, over the bay at gwithian, telling as outer space they save in the seaside. —— how to stay safe. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. i'm frankie mccamley, let's get some of your london news. the number of bars, nightclubs and restaurants in the capital has fallen by nearly 16% since before the pandemic.

data tracking hospitality closures and openings found there are 540 fewer venues now than there were in 2020. it suggests the pandemic combined with the cost of living crisis are having a big impact. grace regan had to shut both of her restaurants. we're closing after four and a half years of serving our vegan curry to walthamstow. and we've decided to close because basically, ever since covid, we've seen a reduction in revenue and an increase in our costs, and it's just no longer viable to be running the business. a statue of the peace campaigner brian haw, who spent ten years camped outside parliament, will be installed opposite the imperial war museum after a crowdfunding campaign. mr haw died from lung cancer in 2011 having spent a decade protesting against british and american foreign policy. efforts were made to remove him but it was only an illness that forced him to stop.

it's a big weekend for luton united with the club just one game away from the premier league. they play coventry in the championship play—off final tomorrow evening at wembley. if they win, they'll be the first side to have gone from non—league to the premier league. no football club has success just because of one person. it's down to a lot of people. it's been a real team effort. you know, our club is run by supporters who care so much about the club and give their full time and dedication to it. they won't allow the club to ever go back into those dark, dark days. let's take a look at the tubes now — now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. there will be some differences day on day with cloud and sunshine about, but in general it's good news as we head into the bank holiday weekend.

if you've got outdoor plans or in fact if you're out and about next week as well, it will be dry and settled. high pressure very much dominating. this morning a chilly start to the day. we saw clear skies last night so there will be a lot of blue sky and sunshine around today. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon. perhaps a little bit more cloud down through parts of the thames estuary at times as well. temperatures peaking in the high teens for most and there is a noticeable north—easterly wind. overnight tonight, again the skies will remain largely clear. there will be some is developing perhaps into tomorrow morning. temperatures once more dropping back in rural spots to mid—single figures. on saturday, it will feel a little warmer. again, there will be lots of sunshine throughout the day. temperatures will peak in the low 20s in celsius. we'll see more cloud though on sunday. it should still be dry. the wind will pick up on bank holiday monday. plenty of sunshine but just a little cooler. that's it from me.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. the boss of sainsbury�*s has insisted the supermarket industry isn't profiteering from surging food prices. he's been speaking to the bbc. hannah can tell us more. it's a good question and as people have watched their bills go up people are thinking, is someone profiting from this? it's a good question. it profiting from this? it's a good cuestion. , . , ., question. it is and every time i go to the supermarket, _ question. it is and every time i go to the supermarket, i _ question. it is and every time i go to the supermarket, i go - question. it is and every time i go to the supermarket, i go to - question. it is and every time i go to the supermarket, i go to the i to the supermarket, i go to the checkout and i think, is it really costing that much? i think everybody goes through that every time at the moment. yes, supermarkets and food manufacturers have faced accusations of putting up prices more than they need to. food prices are still rising at their fastest for nearly a0 years. some items, like pasta, are twice as expensive as they were.

the cost of a grocery shop for a typicalfamily is now up to £16 a week higher than it was this time last year. this week the chancellor met with manufacturers and the independent competition and markets authority to assess whether more could be done to bring down prices sooner. manufacturers say they're absorbing costs where possible, but higher bills for energy, ingredients and wages meant price increases were "unavoidable". my colleague emma simpson met with the boss of sainsbury�*s and asked him when prices will start to come down. the soaring cost of food — politicians are now trying to get to the bottom of it, households are feeling it. so what is going on in the supermarket aisles? the cost of energy, the cost of labour, the cost of producing our food is all having an impact on rising food prices. but some of those costs are coming down — there's a mismatch going on. and that's the encouraging news — we're starting to see some of the costs come down, we all want to see them come down more quickly.

and so seeing energy costs start to come down is really helpful. we're seeing some commodity costs the same, and that's why we've seen products like milk and butter and bread start to come down, too. and we'd expect to see more of that over the weeks and months ahead as more of the costs of producing our food start to go up less quickly. of course, other costs, like labour — they've gone up forever — and those costs are now locked in to the price of producing and selling food. and that's what's happening. are you profiteering? absolutely not. our margins last year were the lowest we've seen for a long time. we made less profit year on year, and that's because we made really conscious decisions to keep our prices as low as we possibly could. we've tried to absorb as much of the inflation as possible, so we're not passing it all on to our customers. honestly, it's quite disappointing to see that criticism because the whole industry is working as hard as possible — millions of colleagues

across the food industry — to try to keep prices down because we know that customers are really concerned about it. that's what we have to do. but it's fair to ask whether a retailer like sainsbury�*s — that still made £926 million in underlying profit — could absorb a bit more of the financial pain to help shoppers in this crisis. our number—one priority is to give the best value we possibly can to our customers. that's why we've been bringing prices in key areas of our offer down as much as we can. more and more shoppers are after the cheapest food. sainsbury�*s is now revamping its budget offer to make it easier to find. this is the first of the products that are out this week. is this enough? we've always got to keep doing more. you bet — supermarkets are under increasing pressure now to pass on any savings as quickly as they can. emma simpson, bbc news.

some early signs then that the rate at which food prices are rising is starting to ease. but it'll be some time until we really notice a significant change to the cost of a weekly shop. we'll get an update on how the retail sector is performing just after 7:00 and i'll be back with the details. there has been a trend for us getting a lot less for our money and therefore buying fewer items. now therefore buying fewer items. now the sport. a manchester united chelsea encounter last night. in days gone by it could have been a title match near the top of the table but contrasting fortunes for the clubs this season. for manchester united at this time of the season they've got their place in the top four, that gets them into the champions league next season. easier to track the big players, many generating of course.

the end of season mood couldn't be more different at manchester united and chelsea. united, clinching a place in next season's champions league, while chelsea will finish in the bottom half of the table. and this was so one—sided, even though manchester united only needed a point at old trafford. casemiro started the scoring after just five minutes. another from anthony martialjust before half—time made it two. a bruno fernandes penalty and then marcus rashford's 30th goal of the season doubled the lead before a consolation goal from chelsea made it 4—1. united are up to third in the table. we finalised this season, that was our objective, we achieved it. it's huge especially in this league because there are many competitors who have the same objectives and they have all good squads and teams. so when you achieve it, it's a massive performance and we are really happy with it. so, that win for united means liverpool miss out on champions league football for the first time since 2016 and their player mo salah was quick

to send his apologies to fans. he says he's "totally devastated". "no excuse for this. we are liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. we let you and ourselves down." valencia played for the first time since their fans racially abused real madrid's viniciusjr and tried to send a strong message. the players lined up behind a la liga banner reading "racists out of football" but their own defender at the top of the shot refused to join in. mouctar diakhaby is unhappy with how the spanish league dealt with his own allegations of racist abuse back in 2021. cameron norrie's good form ahead of roland garros continues. he's got a semifinal at the lyon open later against francisco cerundolo. norrie came through his quarterfinal against another argentine sebastian baez in three sets. the british number one won this tournament last year and will be hoping to again ahead of the french open, where he has been drawn against france's benoit paire in the first round,

which starts on sunday. there was great drama in the rugby league last night, as wigan warriors beat hull kr in the superleague. a try in the last second of normal time from abbas miski levelled the score at 22 each. that meant the game went to extra time and the next point or points would be the winner. and kr's mikey lewis hit the post, before the warriors went up the other end, and liam farrell went over for his hat—trick and to win the game. wigan stay second. it's looking even better for it's looking even betterfor geraint thomas. thomas leads the giro d'italia by 29 seconds with just three stages to go. the welshman turned 37 yesterday and had the perfect birthday, starting and ending the day in the leader's pinkjersey and adding 11 seconds to his lead. today's mountain stage is the toughest of the three week race so any chance of birthday celebrations before it?

and dreams are being restored. # sky blue army, sky blue army. this city has a history of rebuilding, of defying the odds with its power of recovery. the new cathedral stands next to the remains of the one that was bombed in the blitz of 1940. and now the football club has been rebuilt. # que sera, sera. # whatever will be, will be. # we're going to win the league... having been to the brink and back, they're finding their voice again. at times they've been homeless and broke, but now they're just one match away from the premier league, 22 years after coventry were relegated. coventry are going down. goodbye. tears for the travelling supporters. coventry city are relegated. ..are relegated. aiden was that 12—year—old coventry fan in tears on the telly that day back in 2001.

it feels crazy. it feels like yesterday, but it doesn't. after everything that our football club has been through, i'm just so immensely proud. at the time when i did appear on match of the day, i was at school on the monday, everyone was laughing and joking. but now the whole city, even those people, they're going to be celebrating our success at wembley no matter what happens. it was just a really emotional time. i daren't say that i probably won't cry again when i get to wembley, and if we go up and/or down, it's the emotions of football. and that's as a grown man at 3a now, as opposed to being 12, you know. so yeah, it's a memory that actually i am proud of. # let's all sing together... supporters in fine voice again, including singer—songwriter tom grennan, who fell in love with coventry city during their rise up the leagues from 2018. i've never felt it with football before. just the way it's kind of affecting like, i don't know, my emotions and that,

and i've never really had that. so much so, that even though tom is in dundee this saturday for radio one's big weekend, he's still paying for a fan from argentina to make the trip. tom spotted on social media that lauti, who fell in love with coventry through playing fifa, was going to sell his car to raise the funds. no—one needs to be selling cars to watch a football match. let's get you over, and, i don't know, let's celebrate together, mate. and i want you to celebrate with all the cov fans. i was at myjob and i saw that my cell phone was on fire. i have a lot of notifications. and i said, wow, what happened? and i saw tom's tweet. and ijust couldn't believe that. it means that i don't have to sell my car. this story of a club's rise from league two to the brink of the premier league within five

years, under the management of mark robins, has inspired a whole city. it's brought the club and the fans back together again, nowhere more so than at the new sky blue tavern, which was redesigned and opened to coincide with the club's renaissance. and it's here that you find the club's most famous fans, the so—called mad hatters. sorry, mate, you can't come in with that hat. actually, they are tea cosies rather than hats, and the mad hatters have been wearing them since the early 19805 and kept them on through the pain of the last two decades. it's been so hurtful, really. but we're back there again to the promised land. that's what i'm worried about. we will get there. the ecstasy in this town is unbelievable. i mean, the fans are just buzzing. the people living there are buzzing. if we can get back to the premier league, just for that one season even, before we die, we'll die happy. this saturday's play—off final is seen as the biggest match for coventry since their fa cup final win of 1987. the sky blues are sky—high.

when they beat spurs in a thriller at wembley, and the man of the match that day has now found his achievements back in the spotlight again. david bennett! it's special we're doing well. i've got a new generation of fans. the kids weren't born then, especially girls now getting into football. their dads are telling them, that's him. do i look a bit younger now? but its magnificent and the city is buzzing, so hopefully we can have another �*87. just mad, absolutely mad, thinking we are 90 minutes away from being back in the premier league, which i mean, we've all dreamt of for so long. but this could be it. this could be the reality. # why do we sing together? even rico the dog is excited at this former players' reunion, with the horizon now looking so sky blue again.

coventry, what a story. the dog gets confused because the stadium used to be called the ricoh arena but now it's called the cbs. so the postman cheekily refers to the dog as the cbs. it is a fairy tale final because of their back stories and i've been to luton as well and will have a special report all about luton. their incredible ground which they are very proud of. and also how they are very proud of. and also how they ended up playing in orange. aha, they ended up playing in orange. real sense of what it means to people. real sense of what it means to --eole. a ~ real sense of what it means to ..eole, ~' ., real sense of what it means to ..eole. ~' ., ' . people. making a huge difference if ou no u- people. making a huge difference if you go up to _ people. making a huge difference if you go up to the — people. making a huge difference if you go up to the premier— people. making a huge difference if you go up to the premier league, l people. making a huge difference if l you go up to the premier league, 120 million for starters. if you wanted to go somewhere calm... isn't that nice?- calm... isn't that nice? fancy a swa - ? calm... isn't that nice? fancy a swap? it's _ calm... isn't that nice? fancy a swap? it's incredibly _ calm... isn't that nice? fancy a swap? it's incredibly calm - calm... isn't that nice? fancy a | swap? it's incredibly calm here. we've got the birds and the water

fountains. and the beautiful scents from all these flowers. we are in the cotswolds. it has been cultivated by three generations of female gardeners from the same family of course. each one adding their own little stamp. the overwhelming theme is evolution not revolution. so, it's a spectacular place to visit and will be taking a look around this morning. some of these plants will need water. it's been dry, will that continue into the weekend? let's take a look at the weekend? let's take a look at the forecast. the overwhelming story this weekend for the vast majority is for it staying dry. most places dry, warm in the sunshine as well. a bit cooler around some of the coasts but a pleasant day in—store. some cloud rolling in. if you look at the pressure chart, high pressure is in

charge. a weather front moving into the north of scotland which bring a bit more cloud and some patchy drizzle at times. but of thoroughly wet day. sunny spells for northern ireland, sunnis conditions for england and wales. cloud will bubble up england and wales. cloud will bubble up again this afternoon across the north of england, north wales. even if temperatures are down a bit, up to 22 in the south—west. a bit fresher in the south—east and over scotland. a bit windy tonight and into tomorrow across northern scotland. if you have a shower is pushing on. elsewhere dry, partly clear and into the morning temperature is widely down into single figures so a fresh start to the start of your bank holiday weekend. warming up quite quickly on saturday. patchy cloud, long sunny spells. if you show is moving south, showers won't hit everywhere. england and wales are warmer days.

temperatures up to 23 particularly in yorkshire and the north—east of england. easy in southern coastal counties. some day, more cloud across england and wales compared with saturday. and the chance of an isolated shower. more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures dropping a bit. especially close to some eastern and southern coasts where the chance of an isolated shower. more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures dropping a bit. especially close to some eastern and southern coasts weather breeze will be picking up coming of the sea. on monday sunshine developing more widely. cloud and eastern counties, that could take awhile to shift. drifting england and then breaking up drifting england and then breaking up what most of you on monday will have a dry day. not especially hot but strong sunshine throughout the bank holiday weekend and it will feel pleasantly warm. thank you, matt. plenty of people will be going in the sea over the next few days but would you know what to do if you got into difficulty

in open water? the answer is not necessarily to swim but to float. breakfast'sjohn maguire is on a beach on cornwall to tell us more. good morning. good morning everyone. we are on the — good morning. good morning everyone. we are on the beach, _ good morning. good morning everyone. we are on the beach, it's _ good morning. good morning everyone. we are on the beach, it's absolutely - we are on the beach, it's absolutely beautiful looking across st ives bay. the lifeguard station will be manned with patrols right the way through the summer season and up until october but it's notjust coasts. in fact, until october but it's notjust coasts. infact, more until october but it's notjust coasts. in fact, more people drown in a canals and rivers ban on the coastline. you can imagine lots of reasons why. we had a timely reminder of how hazardous water can be earlier this week with a couple of fatal drownings. more than 226 in the uk last year. the key is to get the uk last year. the key is to get

the message out there. what should you do if you get into trouble? accidentally falling into water, a river, a lake or on the coast? one lady took the advice from the rnli last year and used it to great effect. she wasn't aware of the campaign necessarily but it saved her life. this is tina. tina: i think! deserve a hug. the last time these two met tina was fighting for her life and tarryn was intent on saving it. you all right? yeah, i'm good. i'm very well. thank you so much. you've got nothing to thank me for. really, it was a pleasure and i'm glad you're well. i remember when you jumped in the water and you were like, are you ok to get on board? i was like, try and stop me. tina had gone for a swim off godrevy beach in west cornwall. at first the conditions seemed benign, but then she realised there was a strong current taking her out to sea and she couldn't get back to shore and to safety. i'm not a bad swimmer,

but i'm not a triathlete, you know. but there was no way i knew i was going to get back in. and i think at that point the realisation that i was going to have to start calling for help to get attention. and by this point, peoplejust are like little ants on the beach. it was, you know, the realisation that you're suddenly in this situation. she was in real trouble. but fighting panic, something in the back of her mind clicked — the phrase "float to live." she'd spotted it on an advertising screen near her workplace. so i kept getting attention and then i was doing the float to live, to kind of conserve some energy and then doing it again. and then when i saw the lifeguard and tarryn, when she sort of, when they were coming and i saw the yellow and i was like, they're here, and just the relief. i know personally, if i'd tried to swim against that current orjust tried to tread water i would've gone under. so that technique saves lives. it saved your life. it saved my life. i would never want to put

it to the test again, but definitely anybody who finds themself in a similar situation out there, because you feel so alone and so small out in the water, to utilise that technique. it does save lives, it saved my life. tarryn, one of the beach lifeguards on duty that day, says tina's behaviour was textbook. you actually did something that made myjob so easy, because i was able to talk to you. i mean, every rescue i have, they've been in a complete state of panic, unable to communicate, and then i've had to get in the water, put myself in danger to assist them. with you, i was just able to talk to you. you were breathing, you didn't swallow any water. you were actually so calm. those waves were so high out there. when we panic, we then start really getting ourselves, we can't think clearly. our body goes into a state of shock and then we're just going one way, unfortunately. so, inside the rnli's training pool it's time for a refresher. 40% of drowning victims didn't intend to enter the water.

so, we've fallen into the water accidentally. we have. what do we do? the most important thing is to try and stay calm and the best way of doing that is, remember, float to live. so first thing, if you tilt your head back and get your ears submerged, it might be a bit disorientating but that's going to give you a body the best position in order to be able to float calmly. this year, following new research, the rnli is updating its advice. we all float differently, that's something that's come out of the research as well. so some people's legs will sink — mine do. other people may float on the surface, a bit like a perfect starfish. so the main message is it doesn't matter how you float, as long as you do as little as possible to keep yourself calm. so you might need to do some sculling with your arms. so bring your hands back and forth across, like we're doing now. maybe a bit of movement with your legs. but the key thing is not to panic, not to thrash around, not to try and swim really hard, but to stay as calm as possible. as quickly as you can, get your breathing under control, because that temperature difference falling into cold water can be quite dramatic and cause your breathing to get out of control,

so try to calm yourself down. more than 220 people drowned in the uk last year. so, with summer approaching, the water safety message remains vital. and tina knows "float to live" does exactly what it says on the poster. she is living proof. an amazing story i think you'll agree. there is the beach up there where tina was rescued last september. let's pop down and chat to a couple of the lifeguard is based on the beach. good morning. how busy are you here?— based on the beach. good morning. how busy are you here? really busy eseciall how busy are you here? really busy especially with _ how busy are you here? really busy especially with the _ how busy are you here? really busy especially with the bank _ how busy are you here? really busy especially with the bank holiday. - especially with the bank holiday. the beautiful weather coming up. we are anticipating a really busy weekend. we want you to have fun at the beach, so we want you to do so safely. if you're planning to go to the beach, head to a life guarded

beach, swim between the flags. our lifeguards are the experts on the beach, they can identify any hazards such as rip currents. that's why it's really important is when between the red and yellow flags for peace of mind that your swimming in the safest spot. the peace of mind that your swimming in the safest spot.— the safest spot. the spot where you cu s the safest spot. the spot where you au s know the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to _ the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep _ the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep an _ the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep an eye _ the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep an eye on. - the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep an eye on. if- the safest spot. the spot where you guys know to keep an eye on. if you look out to sea, the tide is coming in but there are so many different things going on that you obviously can't see unless you've got that expert knowledge.— can't see unless you've got that expert knowledge. exactly. that's wh it's expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important _ expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important to _ expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important to be _ expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important to be at - expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important to be at a - expert knowledge. exactly. that's why it's important to be at a life l why it's important to be at a life guarded beach because our lifeguards can identify the hazards. you might not necessarily see them yourself. rip currents are really hard to spot. they are fast moving bodies of water that will take you to sea. last summer on our beach we had an elderly couple caught in a rip current and luckily our lifeguards were able to reach them in time. they headed out in treacherous conditions and if they were at a non—life guarded beach it could have ended really differently. it's important you are visiting a

kit they use and what they do when someone gets in trouble out at sea, how they bring them back to shore and to safety. studio: thank you. so beautiful there and such good advice. we will have a look in more detail about the work they do advice about floating. so interesting that we all float differently. i'm starfish, in case you're interested. i do legs up. still to come on today's breakfast. it's exam season and the nspcc says young people are feeling underprepared and anxious, partly because of the gaps in their education caused by the pandemic. we'll have some expert advice for them at quarter to eight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning i'm frankie mccamley. let's get some of your london news.

the number of bars, nightclubs and restaurants in the capital has fallen by nearly 16% since before the pandemic. data tracking hospitality closures and openings found there are 540 fewer venues now than there were in 2020. it suggests the pandemic combined with the cost of living crisis are having a big impact. grace regan had to shut both of her restaurants. we're closing after four and a half years of serving our vegan curry to walthamstow. and we've decided to close because basically, ever since covid, we've seen a reduction in revenue and an increase in our costs, and it's just no longer viable to be running the business. a statue of the peace campaigner brian haw, who spent ten years camped outside parliament, will be installed opposite the imperial war museum after a crowdfunding campaign. mr haw died from lung cancer in 2011 having spent a decade

protesting against british and american foreign policy. efforts were made to remove him but it was only an illness that forced him to stop. it's a big weekend for luton united with the club just one game away from the premier league. they play coventry in the championship play—off final tomorrow evening at wembley. if they win, they'll be the first side to have gone from non—league to the premier league. no football club has success just because of one person. it's down to a lot of people. it's been a real team effort. you know, our club is run by supporters who care so much about the club and give their full time and dedication to it. they won't allow the club to ever go back into those dark, dark days. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. there will be some differences day on day with cloud and sunshine

about, but in general it's good news as we head into the bank holiday weekend. if you've got outdoor plans or in fact if you're out and about next week as well, it will be dry and settled. high pressure very much dominating. this morning a chilly start to the day. we saw clear skies last night so there will be a lot of blue sky and sunshine around today. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon. perhaps a little bit more cloud down through parts of the thames estuary at times as well. temperatures peaking in the high teens for most and there is a noticeable north—easterly wind. overnight tonight, again the skies will remain largely clear. there will be some is developing perhaps into tomorrow morning. temperatures once more dropping back in rural spots to mid—single figures. on saturday, it will feel a little warmer. again, there will be lots of sunshine throughout the day. temperatures will peak in the low 20s in celsius. we'll see more cloud though on sunday. it should still be dry. the wind will pick up on bank holiday monday. plenty of sunshine but

just a little cooler. that's it from me. back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. our headlines today. chaotic and inadequate. inspectors say maternity services at two hospitals

in kent are getting worse, after an earlier inquiry found the deaths of 45 babies could have been avoided. an 11—year—old boy's critically ill in hospital after being hit by a police van in lancashire. we know prices are rising but how much is it impacting our shopping habits? we will have the latest retail sales figure shortly. the title may be city's but manchester united can celebrate champions league football next season. a thumping win over chelsea secures their spot in the premier league's top four with a game to spare. it's friday the 26th of may. our main story. health inspectors have found that maternity care at two hospitals in east kent has got worse since a damning review was published in october. last year the kirkup review found that 45 babies might have survived

if they'd received better care at the hospitals in margate and ashford but a new inspection by the care quality commission found significant problems at both units. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. there have been maternity problems at the east kent hospitals trust for almost a decade. today's report shows care is getting worse. following an unannounced inspection injanuary to the william harvey hospital in ashford, the care quality commission found multiple examples of inadequate practices. staff didn't always wash their hands or wear gloves or aprons between different patients. life—saving equipment wasn't what it should be or regularly cleaned and checked. there weren't enough staff, either doctors or midwives. those that were there didn't have the right skills or experience to treat patients. we've learned that inspectors were so concerned about the quality of care that they wrote to nhs england, asking them to draw up contingency plans in case they had to close inpatient maternity facilities.

a highly unusual move and an insight into the gravity of their concerns. helen lost her daughter harriet in 2014 due to poor care at the trust. she's exasperated by today's findings. i feel incredulous that things have got so much worse. we've been told now for years that there was so much effort going into making things better, that it was ok, it was safe enough, things were improving, they were on a journey and it's clear that that was not true. good morning. last october, an independent review into maternity care at the trust found that at least 45 babies over an 11 year period could have survived with better care. it should have been a watershed moment, but today's findings indicate care has worsened and inspectors are closely monitoring east kent. it does mean enhanced scrutiny and enhanced oversight. so we're monitoring their compliance with conditions, we're monitoring information that we receive of concern continuously.

the east kent trust said it had acted at once to response to the cqc safety concerns, including hiring more staff and introducing a new cleaning regime. michael buchanan, bbc news. a boy is in a critical condition after he was hit by a police van which was responding to a 999 call. it happened in lancaster yesterday evening. our reporter mike stevens is at the scene. what is at the scene. more can you tell us? what is at the scene. more can ou tell us? , was what more can you tell us? the boy was crossing — what more can you tell us? the boy was crossing the _ what more can you tell us? the boy was crossing the road _ what more can you tell us? the boy was crossing the road just _ what more can you tell us? the boy was crossing the road just behind i what more can you tell us? the boy| was crossing the road just behind me at around 8:30pm when he was hit by at around 8:30pm when he was hit by a marked police van which lancashire police say was attending an emergency call—out. he was then taken to the local hospital, the royal lancaster infirmary, where last night his condition was described as critical. this is a fairly busy stretch of road, it leads right into lancaster city centre, i am currently standing

outside what used to be the local secondary school. the road was called —— close to large parts of the night last night, it only opened at 3:30am. behind me there is a set of traffic lights which have quite clearly be knocked down and an engineer has been inspecting those this morning. speaking to local people, there are differing accounts as to exactly what happened. but everybody here in the community this morning has their thoughts with the 11—year—old boy and his family. an investigation has now been launched, and lancashire police say they have referred themselves to the independent office of police conduct. ., ~ , ., a vigil will be held in cardiff tonight to the two teenagers who died in a crash which sparked a night of rioting. kyrees sullivan and harvey evans were riding an electric bike

when the incident took place in the ely area on monday night. they'd been followed by officers from south wales police shortly before the tragedy. police are continuing to question a man who was arrested after a car crashed into the gates of downing street. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving, and the incident is not currently being treated as terror related. simonjones reports. captured by a bbc camera. this is the moment a car is driven towards downing street. if you look at the footage again, the vehicle, a silver kia, appears to slow down before it hits the gate. the car then comes to a halt, prompting a huge police response. everybody back! everybody, move back! officers quick to tell people to get away from the area as they deal with the driver. move back! move back, please! ifirstly heard a big bang over there so ijumped to my feet and i saw a lot of children running away. teenagers, if you like, running away this way. i saw a silver car had rammed the gates at downing street. a lot of armed police came out. this is the man being led away. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving.

the car was extensively searched. people were told to stay inside their offices. the prime minister and the chancellor were in downing street at the time. but a couple of hours after the crash, the met said it wasn't being treated as terror related. one mp who was caught up in a terror attack at westminster in 2017 praised the response of officers not knowing initially what they might be facing. in a world where the world's getting more dangerous than getting safer, then we have to be vigilant and we have to recognise that the police begin their day, any police officer starts their day not knowing how it's going to unfold. so a huge tribute to the police acting swiftly in this case. but still, we have an awful lot to understand as to what happened here. last night, the car was taken away for further examination as police try to determine what caused the crash. thankful that nobody was injured. simon jones, bbc news.

simon is in whitehall this morning. outside the gates of downing street, always heavily policed, is there extra security this morning? i think it is very much _ extra security this morning? i think it is very much business _ extra security this morning? i think it is very much business as - extra security this morning? i think it is very much business as usual i it is very much business as usual because downing street is one of the most guarded streets in the country and it remained that way today with armed officers on duty but you pretty much see them here every day of the year. today, it is calm this morning, but yesterday at about 4:20pm, a very different picture. the vehicle actually came from just the opposite side of the road. it crossed the two lanes, so it is fortunate, because this very busy road, that it did not hit any other vehicles. it came to a halt after going through the barriers there at the front gate. in terms of the barriers and the bollards, in many ways they did theirjob because they are there to stop any vehicle going

into downing street that does not have a mission to be there. in truth when it hit the gate, the vehicle was going pretty slowly. when you see the aftermath of the crash, it was the reaction of people nearby. some people started running away, fearing this was a major incident. others as we see so often, they got out their mobile phones and started filming. that's when the police started shouting at people that they needed to get out of this area for their own safety. police have confirmed this morning that the man who was arrested remains in custody. the latest search linked to the disappearance of madeleine mccann in portugal has ended following a three—day operation. the three—day operation took place around 30 miles from where madeleine disappears, as navtej johal reports. the end of three days of intense, focused activity. as vehicles carrying equipment left

the scene of the search operation yesterday afternoon, there were questions about what — if anything — police had found on the peninsula of the arade reservoir, where their work had been taking place since tuesday. over the course of the week, police have used a variety of equipment to clear undergrowth, dig the ground, and search for evidence. everything from drones to sniffer dogs have been seen in the area. and this is where they've been focusing their efforts. you can see the amount of work that's been done to clear and flatten this area, the holes that have been left behind. and portuguese police say that the samples collected here are now on their way to germany. the operation — requested by german police — has been trying to find evidence in connection to the disappearance of madeleine mccann. last year, the convicted german sex offender christian bruckner was named as an official suspect in the case by portuguese authorities. he is known to have visited the reservoir at the time madeleine went missing. he denies being involved, and has never been charged over her disappearance. the german authorities have not said this week

what they were hoping to find here, due to what they described as "tactical reasons". but we may hear soon whether anything significant has been uncovered. navtejjohal, bbc news, in the algarve. so, whatever has been found, those samples, as they are described, will be sent to germany.— be sent to germany. let's speak to jenn be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill- — be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill- you _ be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill. you are _ be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill. you are in _ be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill. you are in a _ be sent to germany. let's speak to jenny hill. you are in a significant i jenny hill. you are in a significant place, that is where the prosecutor is, that is where the next stage of the investigation will be followed? yes, good morning. this is the prosecutor here leading the investigation for the german authorities. as you saw in my colleague's report, we know that officers have found something in the algarve, but we don't know whether it is anything significant. what we can say is if it is not important,

we should know fairly quickly. the prosecutor has told us he would issue a statement fairly swiftly when that to be the case. again, we don't know exactly what they were looking for. there has been a lot of speculation, but we really only know for certain that they say they had good reason to carry this search. they would not tell us the reason but they did say it was not due to information given to them by the main suspect in this case. that is, as you heard, christian bruckner, 45—year—old german man. he is a convicted child sex currently in prison here in germany for the rate of a 72—year—old woman in pride aluis, two years before madeleine mccann went missing. he has always denied any involvement in madeline's disappearance. but the prosecutors are pretty adamant that he is the man responsible for her disappearance and murder. they say

they have concrete evidence for that suspicion. they have never disclosed publicly what that evidence is. i have interviewed the prosecutor here a number of times since 2020 and he has always stuck to his point. he emphasises that whatever the evidence is, it is strong enough to believe that madeline is dead and he is responsible stop he said, at one point, if you saw the evidence, you would also be convinced.— point, if you saw the evidence, you would also be convinced. thank you, jenn . in the last few minutes we have been told how the retail sector performed in the last month. hannah is here to crunch the numbers.— crunch the numbers. these figures com tare crunch the numbers. these figures compare april _ crunch the numbers. these figures compare april to _ crunch the numbers. these figures compare april to march. _ crunch the numbers. these figures compare april to march. retail- crunch the numbers. these figures i compare april to march. retail sales volumes were up 0.5%. we are talking about the volume of sales, the amount of stuff that we are all going out and buying. we bought 0.7% in food stores but interestingly what is behind this rise in particular is items like watches,

jewellery, sports equipment, among the items that are really boosting the items that are really boosting the figures this morning. the amount of petrol and diesel that we have bought actually fell, despite prices on the forecourts coming down. buying one of these items is costing us even more money as we know, with prices rising as they have been. so the value of the sales is up but still a tight time for the retail sector. ., ~' , ., , . still a tight time for the retail sector. ., ~ , ., , . ., ., sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's to sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's go two — sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's go two to — sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's go two to in _ sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's go two to in the _ sector. thank you very much, hannah. let's go two to in the cotswolds, - let's go two to in the cotswolds, and it is looking beautiful —— let's go to matt. it certainly is, we are at kiftsgate court gardens in the cotswolds, this is a family run gardens, home to england's largest rows. it does not bloom untiljuly but when it does,

it has got as high as 80 feet, remarkable, isn't it? plenty to see at the moment and it will be under blue skies. it is going to be another day of warm sunshine for the vast majority. cooler around the coast particularly in the far south—east of the country, and the far north of scotland. this is where we will start to see a bit more cloud pushing in. away from that, various areas of cloud, a lot of which will break up and then we will see cloud building in northern england, north midlands and north wales, and the finals of scotland. it should feel warm even though temperatures are down a little bit, in the south—east corner, temperatures down a little bit more. overnight, we will see varying amounts of cloud around the uk. cloudier to conditions in the north

of scotland, temperatures in stornoway are 10 degrees into the morning. away from that, single figures, a fresh start into the weekend. when you're out in the sun first thing it will feel cool but tomorrow, england and wales, sunny and warm, 23 degrees against —— in north—east england and yorkshire. showers will push into england and wales for sunday. the full forecast in half an hour. the switch to home working could be contributing to a shortage of foster carers, as more people use their spare rooms as offices. that's according to a fostering agency, which says the rising cost of living is also putting off potential carers. emma glasbey has been looking into this. the weekly food shop is a lot bigger here than it used to be. i've never bought so many of these before. patrick and sebastian are foster carers in north yorkshire.

they're now carers for three siblings who will stay with them long term. in the past, they've looked after children who have experienced trauma. they say fostering has been rewarding but also challenging. we can see the massive change that we have been able to have on the children that we've looked after. notjust the kids that we have now, but in the past as well. and then when you think about all the kids that don't have anybody there, that's really difficult. it makes you wish you had a much bigger house and a lot more time. i think it's important that you focus on what you can do, not what you can't. the number of care children in care in yorkshire has now risen to more than 7000 but the number of foster carers has been in decline. local councils sometimes use agency agencies to help them find families

but it's becoming more challenging. it's been really difficult. and i think a challenge that we didn't anticipate was that after the pandemic, many people that had previously had spare bedrooms had altered those bedrooms and made them offices where they could work at home. and a rising number of children in care means a rising number of young adults leaving the care system. in leeds, a group of care leavers has formed the care creatives, working on projects for the city's art gallery. sophie was in foster care in her teenage years. the foster carers aren't your real family, but they treat you as their own. they are that stability for a while. i'm more independent now and i'm in my own flat, been through college and going to uni, stuff like that. if it wasn't for actually going through that, things would be different for me now. and the way things are going right now is a lot better than what it was. an increase in the families affected by domestic abuse and mental health problems has meant more children

ending up in care. the pressure now is on local councils to find enough foster carers to meet that growing demand. emma glasbey, bbc news. sarah thomas is the head of the fostering network. good morning. good morning. it sounds like _ good morning. good morning. it sounds like there _ good morning. good morning. it sounds like there are _ good morning. good morning. it sounds like there are lots - good morning. good morning. it sounds like there are lots of - sounds like there are lots of factors involved when it comes to why there is a shortage of foster carers. how concerned are you by the shortage? taste carers. how concerned are you by the shortate? . ., carers. how concerned are you by the shortate? . . ., , carers. how concerned are you by the shortate? . ., , , shortage? we have always been concerned. _ shortage? we have always been concerned, as _ shortage? we have always been concerned, as a _ shortage? we have always been concerned, as a charity - shortage? we have always been concerned, as a charity we - shortage? we have always been concerned, as a charity we run l shortage? we have always been. concerned, as a charity we run an annual campaign which is just coming to the end right now called foster care fortnight and we do it notjust to celebrate the fostering sector and everyone who is in the community, but due help services which are trying to recruitjust like that service you heard about there, trying to recruit foster carers and struggling to do so. not everybody can do it, not everybody

has got enough space in there house to be able to do it, and that is a critical factor. to be able to do it, and that is a criticalfactor. one of to be able to do it, and that is a critical factor. one of the things we need to do is try and keep sibling groups of children, brothers and sisters are being rated separately because we don't have enough foster carers with enough room to keep them together —— raised separately, so it is amazing to hear that story about that couple. people mi t ht that story about that couple. people mitht be that story about that couple. people might be listening _ that story about that couple. people might be listening out _ that story about that couple. people might be listening out and - that story about that couple. people might be listening out and said, - that story about that couple. people might be listening out and said, i i might be listening out and said, i tick one box, i have got the space in my home. but there are a lot of other questions that people who do not know about fostering ask themselves, and my capable, i qualified, do i have the skills? —— am i capable, and i qualified? what are the demands on people, because it is a very serious decision to make. it it is a very serious decision to make. , ., it is a very serious decision to make. , . . , ., ., .,~ make. it is a huge decision to make educational — make. it is a huge decision to make educational do _ make. it is a huge decision to make educational do it _ make. it is a huge decision to make educational do it on _ make. it is a huge decision to make educational do it on your _ make. it is a huge decision to make educational do it on your own. - make. it is a huge decision to make educational do it on your own. you | educational do it on your own. you have to think about your support network, the people around you to

to cover the full cost of caring for the child, but there is work going on going across the country. working is an interesting point, a lot of foster carers to work successfully and be are able to foster. john lewis launched as a fostering friendly employer during the fortnight, this is a scheme that we run as a charity, and organisations can sign up and give workers who are foster carers additional leave, specialist support, and we had a lot about that in the last fortnight. it's notjust about about that in the last fortnight. it's not just about foster carers, it's about the whole of society thinking about foster care, thinking about what difference it makes and how they can support it in the community. 50 how they can support it in the community-— how they can support it in the community. how they can support it in the communi . . ., . , ., community. so at the moment, anyone who's interesting _ community. so at the moment, anyone who's interesting in _ community. so at the moment, anyone who's interesting in fostering _ community. so at the moment, anyone who's interesting in fostering which - who's interesting in fostering which do the opposite, they would come to you and volunteer themselves. does

and an increase in our costs, and it's just no longer viable to be running the business. a statue of the peace campaigner brian haw, who spent 10 years camped outside parliament, will be installed opposite the imperial war museum after a crowdfunding campaign. mr haw died from lung cancer in 2011 having spent a decade protesting against british and american foreign policy. efforts were made to remove him but it was only an illness that forced him to stop. benny and bjorn from the pop group abba have spoken exclusively to the bbc about their virtual concert at the arena in east london. the performance has been hugely sucessful. the band members were asked if the response by the public had surpassed their expectations. most certainly, yes. artistically, definitely. yeah.

because we achieved more than we could ever hope for, you know? see the first preview and realise that the audience actually connected to what was on there. let's take a look at the tube now. the delays on the circle line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. there will be some differences day on day with cloud and sunshine about, but in general it's good news as we head into the bank holiday weekend. if you've got outdoor plans or in fact if you're out and about next week as well, it will be dry and settled. high pressure very much dominating. this morning a chilly start to the day. we saw clear skies last night so there will be a lot of blue sky and sunshine around today. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon. perhaps a little bit more cloud down through parts of the thames estuary at times as well. temperatures peaking in the high teens for most and there is a noticeable north—easterly wind. overnight tonight, again the skies will remain largely clear. there will be some is developing

perhaps into tomorrow morning. temperatures once more dropping back in rural spots to mid—single figures. on saturday, it will feel a little warmer. again, there will be lots of sunshine throughout the day. temperatures will peak in the low 20s in celsius. we'll see more cloud though on sunday. it should still be dry. the wind will pick up on bank holiday monday. plenty of sunshine but just a little cooler. that's it from me — i'm back in half an hour. lots more on the website and bbc london radio. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. time isjust coming up time is just coming up to time isjust coming up to 7:30am. let's return now to our main story — and that damning report on nhs maternity services in east kent, which have been classed as "inadequate" by the care quality commission. the surprise inspection followed an independent review last year, which found that 45 babies might

have survived if they'd received better care. this is the cqc report published today. the criticisms include... concerns around the use of resuscitation equipment at both hospitals — including where they were located within the sites, which the report found could result in babies being separated from their mothers, and therefore an increase in the potential for babies to be mis—identified. it added that, in particular at the william harvey hospital in ashford, facilities were poor and those using the service were cared for in a chaotic environment. one of those cared for by the trust was harriet gittos, who was a week old when she died in margate in 2014. harriet�*s mum helenjoins us now. thank you forjoining us this morning. can you take us back to

2014 and tell us what happened? harriet was a full—term, healthy girl. there was absolutely nothing wrong with her. but sadly she died of a brain injury sustained during labour and she lived forjust a week. she died in london. flan labour and she lived forjust a week. she died in london. can you tell us about _ week. she died in london. can you tell us about your _ week. she died in london. can you tell us about your memories - week. she died in london. can you tell us about your memories of - week. she died in london. can you| tell us about your memories of that time and how you remember being treated when you are going through what you are going through? it felt at the time — what you are going through? it felt at the time as _ what you are going through? it felt at the time as though _ what you are going through? it felt at the time as though we _ what you are going through? ft felt at the time as though we were being implicitly blamed for what happened. even during labour when i first saw the notes afterwards about what had happened, and then in the serious incident investigation that was conducted by the hospital,

implicitly we were blamed for what happened. i think i wondered for a long time and if that was me being oversensitive and making it up but it's quite clear that wasn't the case. worse than that, it's clear that that was routine. that there wasn't anything very special about what happened to us. it was absolutely normal for women to be blamed when things went wrong in the care of their children and of themselves.— care of their children and of themselves. , ., ., ., themselves. then when you found out that harriet was _ themselves. then when you found out that harriet was one _ themselves. then when you found out that harriet was one of _ themselves. then when you found out that harriet was one of 45 _ themselves. then when you found out that harriet was one of 45 babies - that harriet was one of 45 babies whose lives may have been saved, he outcome may have been different, how did it affect you?— did it affect you? um... i think it was good — did it affect you? um... i think it was good for— did it affect you? um... i think it was good for us _ did it affect you? um... i think it was good for us to _ did it affect you? um... i think it was good for us to have - did it affect you? um... i think it was good for us to have some i did it affect you? um... i think it i was good for us to have some real sense of what had happened. it was good for us to have some independent

examination of what had happened. it was, i suppose, examination of what had happened. it was, isuppose, reassuring examination of what had happened. it was, i suppose, reassuring that what we had thought had happened was indeed right, after all of these years. but it took so long to get there and thatjourney was exhausting and very difficult. helen, what is your reaction to the latest cqc report that found things have become even worse?- latest cqc report that found things have become even worse? we've been reassured time — have become even worse? we've been reassured time and _ have become even worse? we've been reassured time and time _ have become even worse? we've been reassured time and time again - reassured time and time again politicians, by the hospital, that things were getting better and it's quite clear that they are not. i know that women themselves in the region have been telling themselves that because the trust was under such scrutiny, because there was so much external help, but things would be ok. and it's quite clear from the

report that the external help and scrutiny, even with all of that, there are still really, really serious problems. these are problems that have been known about for such a long time. in 2014 when my daughter harriet was born, i did not then know that the head of midwifery at the time was so concerned about safety, particularly in the william harvey hospital. she considered it ought to be closed down at that stage. that was in 2014. all of this time since, we are not seeing significant improvement. worse than that, we are seeing that things are getting worse. that, we are seeing that things are getting worse-— getting worse. there aren't many tositives getting worse. there aren't many positives to _ getting worse. there aren't many positives to come _ getting worse. there aren't many positives to come from _ getting worse. there aren't many positives to come from the i getting worse. there aren't many| positives to come from the report but one of them is that they found that staff after inspecting it in january, they found that staff were working extremely hard, in difficult

circumstances, to provide compassionate and responsive care. does that give you some comfort? i hope that is the case. we know there are some great staff in that hospital. excellent doctors, good midwives, trying really hard to provide good care. we know that some women get good care. but it shouldn't be a lottery and it shouldn't be a lottery and it shouldn't be a risk that you won't. but i also feel hopeful and i feel hopeful because the report provides a blueprint for how to do things differently. it's absolutely clear and this report makes it even more so that we cannot go on trying to fix things in the same way that we have been. we've got to do things differently. and the reading the signals report provides the recommendations which i think if we were to implement them, it steve

barclay and maria caulfield would undertake simply accept the recommendations in full and do their best to implement them, i think we would get change and so i don't think this is a counsel of despair. not least because i think we have a really clear statement of how to make things better. hope really clear statement of how to make things better.— really clear statement of how to make thints better. ., . , , ,., make things better. how much support have ou make things better. how much support have you had — make things better. how much support have you had in — make things better. how much support have you had in the _ make things better. how much support have you had in the last _ make things better. how much support have you had in the last nine _ make things better. how much support have you had in the last nine years? i have you had in the last nine years? have you spoken to other families affected and have you received an apology? i’m affected and have you received an a-otlo ? �* ., , ., ., , affected and have you received an a-otlo ? �* ., , ., ., affected and have you received an aolot ? �* ., , . . , apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want — apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want an _ apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want an apology. _ apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want an apology. i'm - apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want an apology. i'm not i apology? i'm not sure that any of us really want an apology. i'm not sure| really want an apology. i'm not sure that an apology helps at this stage. what we want is change, to know that women in east kent can feel safe right now. i was very lucky to receive support notjust from the trust but from charities who were able to provide counselling and other support. many families do not get that support. and there are many

families here who are not able to talk like this because this because they bear are so livid. i think it's really important to understand that this is notjust about children who are not here but this is about children who are growing up without their mothers, it's about families who are looking after disabled children in very difficult circumstances and have had to fight the trust to be able to get help to do so and some of whom still have not received that help. and there are women who had psychological scars, physicalscars. so this are women who had psychological scars, physical scars. so this is notjust scars, physical scars. so this is not just about missing scars, physical scars. so this is notjust about missing children, this is about damaging relationships and families which is really, really huge. and families which is really, really hute. ., , and families which is really, really hute, ., , ., and families which is really, really hute. ., , ., ., ., ., huge. our hearts go out to all the families affected, _ huge. our hearts go out to all the families affected, helen, - huge. our hearts go out to all the| families affected, helen, including you. thank you so much forjoining us on breakfast.

scoring and another from anthony martial. fernandez with a penalty and then marcus rashford with his 30th goal of the season before a consolation late on from chelsea. united are up to third on the table. click when you achieve that it's a massive — click when you achieve that it's a massive performance and we are really _ massive performance and we are really happy with it.— massive performance and we are really happy with it. when you lose tames really happy with it. when you lose games comprehensively _ really happy with it. when you lose games comprehensively you i really happy with it. when you lose games comprehensively you have i really happy with it. when you lose i games comprehensively you have to understand — games comprehensively you have to understand the _ games comprehensively you have to understand the real— games comprehensively you have to understand the real reasons - games comprehensively you have to understand the real reasons and i games comprehensively you have to i understand the real reasons and some of them _ understand the real reasons and some of them are _ understand the real reasons and some ofthem are quite— understand the real reasons and some of them are quite deep—set. _ understand the real reasons and some of them are quite deep—set. we'll- understand the real reasons and some of them are quite deep—set. we'll be i of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working _ of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working this — of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working this summer— of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working this summer to _ of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working this summer to change i of them are quite deep—set. we'll be working this summer to change not i working this summer to change not 'ust working this summer to change not just the _ working this summer to change not just the mindset _ working this summer to change not just the mindset but _ working this summer to change not just the mindset but to _ working this summer to change not just the mindset but to change i working this summer to change not just the mindset but to change it i just the mindset but to change it and i_ just the mindset but to change it and i always— just the mindset but to change it and i always come _ just the mindset but to change it and i always come back- just the mindset but to change it and i always come back to - just the mindset but to change it and i always come back to the i just the mindset but to change it i and i always come back to the work, doing _ and i always come back to the work, doing things — and i always come back to the work, doing things and _ and i always come back to the work, doing things and when _ and i always come back to the work, doing things and when you - and i always come back to the work, doing things and when you see i and i always come back to the work, i doing things and when you see things and try— doing things and when you see things and try and _ doing things and when you see things and try and assess _ doing things and when you see things and try and assess players _ doing things and when you see things and try and assess players another i and try and assess players another be someone — and try and assess players another be someone to— and try and assess players another be someone to come _ and try and assess players another be someone to come and - and try and assess players another be someone to come and do- and try and assess players another be someone to come and do that. i and try and assess players another i be someone to come and do that. bad

"no excuse for this....we are liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. we let you and ourselves down." cameron norrie's good form ahead of roland garros continues. he's got a semi—final at the lyon open, later against francisco serundolo. norrie came through his quarter—final, against another argentine, sebastian baez, in three sets. the british number one, won this tournament last year and will be hoping to again, ahead of the french open, where he has been drawn against france's benoit paire, in the first round which starts on sunday. it's looking even better for geraint thomas. thomas leads the giro d'italia by 29 seconds with just three stages to go. the welshman turned 37 yesterday and had the perfect birthday, starting and ending the day in the leader's pinkjersey and adding 11 seconds to his lead. today's mountain stage

so over here are some of the earlier concepts. so this one here, you can see this is a moulded paperfibre. they toiled away with paper and moulds for months. keen to help the royal british legion rid itself of single use plastics used, of course, for the green plastic stem and the black plastic button. although these are two very small pieces of plastic that they had been buying for many years, when it's been produced in tens of millions, it does have a significant impact. and those those parts have been produced every year. so we've been able to reduce a really not insignificant amount of single—use plastic. so yeah, hopefully it will make a difference to people. no easy task redesigning the iconic poppy. 40 million are made each year — and therein laid a problem. i'd say one of the biggest challenges that we had was to make something that could hold up down a high speed production line. so we had to find a way to connect

these two components at high speed without any glues that could just click together simply on a machine that just had a single process, itjust went up, down, and that would stay together as a nice, robust poppy for people to wear. working with a paper manufacturer in cumbria, they eventually cracked it. the royal british legion delighted with the all—paper poppy. 50% of the paper of the new poppies made from recycled coffee cup processes. so we're really delighted with the way that that has come together. that means overall the reduction is 40% in the carbon emissions from the production of the poppies. the last of the plastic poppies will also be on sale this october and november. but the future of the poppy appeal is paper and plastic free. the designers in bath hope you like it. scott ellis, bbc news. time now for another story from the bbc�*s "we were there" series,

in which veterans of the second world war share their memories. patricia owtram used her basic language skills to intercept messages between german ships in the north sea — and her service in kent also led to a chance encounter with winston churchill. on the application form, it said any other qualifications. and i put "conversational german" because i never did it at school or anything. and i had to go to liverpool and do a written translation to prove that i did have german. it wasn't very difficult, so i was accepted. my first station was on the yorkshire coast at a place called withernsea, because we had very good reception from the baltic.

and the german naval ships used to talk coming out of the baltic, or leaving their bases in the baltic. and at withernsea we used to search the wavelengths, write down everything we heard, and i think we probably got a fair amount of useful information. i was transferred to a station between dover and folkestone where we could hear, very loud and clear, german naval ships warming up in the harbours opposite or going down the channel. we worked what we called watches. so many hours on, four hours on, eight hours off, that sort of thing. so you might be woken at half past three in the morning to go on at 4:00, a sort of spell of four days, five days, and then

we got 24 hours break. i'd been on watch overnight. i came out in the morning about 8:00, and there was a party of people coming up the path towards our cliff. and i recognised in the middle of this group winston churchill and general eisenhower, and they were with a group of officers, and you were supposed to salute people of that rank. but as i'd been on duty all night, and i was just informally dressed, all i could do was wave and say "good morning." and so they all waved back and said "good morning." and they went on their way to the edge of our cliff. and in fact, much later on, i heard that churchill wanted it to be reported back

that he and eisenhower had been down on the kent coast to deceive the germans into thinking the landings were going to be in kent, into the calais area, whereas of course we were going to land much further west in normandy. thank you to patricia for telling us first—hand. it's remarkable hearing those first hand. we were there is a bbc news project which aims to document the stories of all the surviving world war ii veterans by 2025. if you are one, or if you know one, you can email bbc breakfast or get in touch via the bbc news website. still to come on breakfast, we'll meet the lewis capaldi fan who had a rather special moment

at one of his gigs this week. that's17—year—old yasmine, who held up a sign asking if she could sing with lewis at his bristol concert — and he said yes. yasmine will bejoining us on the sofa at five past nine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, i'm frankie mccamley. let's get some of your london news. the number of bars, nightclubs and restaurants in the capital has fallen by nearly 16% since before the pandemic. data tracking hospitality found there are 540 fewer venues now than there were in 2020. it suggests the pandemic and the cost of living crisis are having a big impact. grace regan had to shut both of her restaurants. we're closing after four and a half years of serving our vegan curry to walthamstow.

and we've decided to close because basically, ever since covid, we've seen a reduction in revenue and an increase in our costs, and it's just no longer viable to be running the business. a statue of the peace campaigner brian haw, who spent ten years camped outside parliament, will be installed opposite the imperial war museum. mr haw died from lung cancer in 2011 having spent a decade protesting against british and american foreign policy. efforts were made to remove him but it was only an illness that forced him to stop. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. largely sunny, a bit of cloud, staying warm though with temperatures reaching 18 degrees. that's it from me. back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. our headlines today. the maternity unit so bad that inspectors considered closing it. a report finds services at two hospitals in kent have worsened since a previous inquiry found 45 babies died avoidably. warnings over the safety of some electronic scooters and bikes after an increase in devastating fires caused by exploding batteries. we know prices are rising but how much is it impacting our shopping habits? we'll have the latest retail sales figures very shortly. if you get in trouble, in the water, would you know what to do? the answer is float to live. the boss of one of the biggest supermarkets denies they are profiting unfairly

from big prices. the title may be city's, but manchester united can celebrate champions league football next season. a thumping win over chelsea secures their spot in the premier league's top four with a game to spare. it means liverpool missed out. dry and sunny across the uk, but will it last into the bank holiday weekend? the full forecast coming up. it's friday the 26th of may, our main story. health inspectors have found that maternity care at two hospitals in east kent has got worse since a damning review was published in october. last year the kirkup review found that 45 babies might have survived if they'd received better care at the hospitals in margate and ashford, but a new inspection by the care quality commission found significant problems at both units. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. for almost a decade. today's report shows care is getting worse.

following an unannounced inspection injanuary to the william harvey hospital in ashford, the care quality commission found multiple examples of inadequate practices. staff didn't always wash their hands or wear gloves or aprons between different patients. life—saving equipment wasn't what it should be or regularly cleaned and checked. there weren't enough staff, either doctors or midwives. those that were there didn't have the right skills or experience to treat patients. we've learned that inspectors were so concerned about the quality of care that they wrote to nhs england, asking them to draw up contingency plans in case they had to close inpatient maternity facilities. a highly unusual move and an insight into the gravity of their concerns. helen lost her daughter harriet in 2014 due to poor care at the trust. she's exasperated by today's findings. i feel incredulous that things have got so much worse.

we've been told now for years that there was so much effort going into making things better, that it was ok, it was safe enough, things were improving, they were on a journey and it's clear that that was not true. good morning. last october, an independent review into maternity care at the trust found that at least 45 babies over an 11 year period could have survived with better care. it should have been a watershed moment, but today's findings indicate care has worsened and inspectors are closely monitoring east kent. it does mean enhanced scrutiny and enhanced oversight. so we're monitoring their compliance with conditions, we're monitoring information that we receive of concern continuously. the east kent trust said it had acted at once to response to the cqc safety concerns, including hiring more staff and introducing a new cleaning regime. michael buchanan, bbc news. a boy is in a critical condition

after he was hit by a police van which was responding to a 999 call. it happened in lancaster yesterday evening. our reporter mike stevens is at the scene. has any more information come to light, what more can you tell us about what happened? the light, what more can you tell us about what happened?- light, what more can you tell us about what happened? the boy was crossint about what happened? the boy was crossing the — about what happened? the boy was crossing the road _ about what happened? the boy was crossing the road behind _ about what happened? the boy was crossing the road behind me i about what happened? the boy was crossing the road behind me just i crossing the road behind mejust before half past eight last night when he was hit by a marked police van which lancashire police say was responding to an emergency call out. he was then taken down the road to the local hospital, the royal lancaster infirmary, where last night his condition was described as critical. this is quite a busy road, one of the main road into lancaster city centre. the incident happened just outside what used to beat the local secondary school. you can see the road is getting busier this morning as people start to go about their business, but it was close to —— closed for large parts of the

night last night. there is a set of traffic lights here which have been clearly been knocked over, an engineer has been inspecting those this morning. speaking to local people, there are differing accounts as to what exactly happened last night. but everybody in the community's thoughts this morning are with the 11—year—old boy and his family. an investigation has now been launched into exactly what happened, and lancashire police has referred itself to the independent office for police conduct.- office for police conduct. thank ou, office for police conduct. thank you. mike. _ a vigil will be held in cardiff tonight to the two teenagers who died in a crash which sparked a night of rioting. kyrees sullivan and harvey evans were riding an electric bike when the incident took place in the ely area on monday night. they'd been followed by officers from south wales police shortly before the tragedy. they'd been followed by officers from south wales police shortly before the tragedy. police are continuing to question a man who was arrested after a car crashed into the gates of downing street. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving, and the incident is not currently

being treated as terror related. simonjones reports. captured by a bbc camera. this is the moment a car is driven towards downing street. if you look at the footage again, the vehicle, a silver kia, appears to slow down before it hits the gate. the car then comes to a halt, prompting a huge police response. everybody back! everybody, move back! officers quick to tell people to get away from the area as they deal with the driver. move back! move back, please! ifirstly heard a big bang over there so ijumped to my feet and i saw a lot of children running away. teenagers, if you like, running away this way. i saw a silver car had rammed the gates at downing street. a lot of armed police came out. this is the man being led away. he's being held on suspicion of criminal damage and dangerous driving. the car was extensively searched. people were told to stay inside their offices.

the prime minister and the chancellor were in downing street at the time. but a couple of hours after the crash, the met said it wasn't being treated as terror related. one mp who was caught up in a terror attack at westminster in 2017 praised the response of officers not knowing initially what they might be facing. in a world where the world's getting more dangerous than getting safer, then we have to be vigilant and we have to recognise that the police begin their day, any police officer starts their day not knowing how it's going to unfold. so a huge tribute to the police acting swiftly in this case. but still, we have an awful lot to understand as to what happened here. last night, the car was taken away for further examination as police try to determine what caused the crash. thankful that nobody was injured. simon jones, bbc news. simon joins us now from whitehall. this is a place where there is a lot

of security anyway, will there be questions asked aboutjust what happened? i questions asked about 'ust what ha--ened? ~ happened? i think there will certainly be _ happened? i think there will certainly be a _ happened? i think there will certainly be a review- happened? i think there will certainly be a review of- happened? i think there will certainly be a review of the l certainly be a review of the security, but i think the mets response is that they acted very quickly to this potential threat. downing street is of course one of the most secure streets in the country. armed officers are a regular sight here and it is no different this morning. what is different this morning. what is different is that the security has been stepped up because we are being told that officers are not letting people in via the front gate this morning, the normal deliveries that happen. to give you an idea of what happened yesterday, the car was on the other side of the road, it then careered across this road, back towards the gate. ultimately, the investigation will look at how exactly that happened. i think what is interesting is the reaction of

people afterwards. because you see from some of the footage that some people ran away fearing this was a major incident, other people instead got their mobile phones out and started taking pictures until the police told them to get away from the scene as quickly as possible. as you can see, the barriers remain in place here as they normally are, and now an investigation to determine how exactly this happened. police officers investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann have completed their search of a reservoir in portugal and sent material back to germany forforensic analysis. the three—day operation took place around 30 miles from where madeleine disappeared, as navtej johal reports. the end of three days of intense, focused activity. as vehicles carrying equipment left the scene of the search operation yesterday afternoon, there were questions about what — if anything — police had found on the peninsula

of the arade reservoir, where their work had been taking place since tuesday. over the course of the week, police have used a variety of equipment to clear undergrowth, dig the ground, and search for evidence. everything from drones to sniffer dogs have been seen in the area. and this is where they've been focusing their efforts. you can see the amount of work that's been done to clear and flatten this area, the holes that have been left behind. and portuguese police say that the samples collected here are now on their way to germany. the operation — requested by german police — has been trying to find evidence in connection to the disappearance of madeleine mccann. last year, the convicted german sex offender christian bruckner was named as an official suspect in the case by portuguese authorities. he is known to have visited the reservoir at the time madeleine went missing. he denies being involved, and has never been charged over her disappearance. the german authorities have not said this week what they were hoping to find here, due to what they described as "tactical reasons". but we may hear soon

whether anything significant has been uncovered. navtejjohal, bbc news, in the algarve. as we just heard, the investigation is being led by german police. our germany correspondentjenny hill is in the city of braunschweig. so, the investigation moves back to where you are now, the three—day search completely, what happens next? yes, that's correct. we know they have found something, but what we don't know yet is whether it is of any significance. what we can say is if what those officers were found wasn't particularly important, we should know about it very swiftly. because the prosecutor here in braunschweig who in effect leads the investigation says if that is the case, he will issue a statement within days. he said there was good reason for carrying out those searches, he would not publicly disclose what that reason was. he

did say it had nothing to do with any information that he may have received from the main suspect in this case. that's a man called cristian buckner, a 45—year—old german, a convicted child sex offender, and he is currently in jail here in germany for the rape of a 72—year—old woman here in praia da luz, two years before madeleine mccann went missing. he has always involved —— denied any involvement involved —— denied any involvement in madeline's disappearance but investigators are consent —— convinced that he is the main suspect in the case. they publicly named in three years ago and they say they have done so because they have got strong evidence which convinces them that not only is madeleine mccann dared, don't forget of course that british police still police —— not only is she dead, british police say it is still missing person investigation, but

that christian buckner was responsible for her death. i have interviewed the prosecutor in braunschweig several times and he is adamant that if we saw the evidence that they had to, and they have never made the evidence public, he said, if you saw the evidence you would also be commenced. thank you, jenn . hannah is on the sofa. we have got numbers coming, this is about how much stuff we are buying, basically. it is quite an interesting figure. yes, retailsales it is quite an interesting figure. yes, retail sales figures, the volume of things we are buying up 0.5% in april compared to march, although still compared to where we were before or during the pandemic. watches, jewellery, sports equipment boosting sales in april. food stores also saw a small increase in what we were buying. we are buying slightly

more than we were, we are spending vastly more than we were. food prices are rising at their fastest rate still for nearly 40 years, and that has raised questions. the government got involved, meeting with supermarkets this week and asking if there was more that could be done to bring down food prices as they have been accused of putting up prices more than they need to. emma simpson met with the bosses sent —— sainsbury�*s and asked that question. are you profiteering? sainsbury's and asked that question. are you profiteering?— are you profiteering? absolutely not. our margins _ are you profiteering? absolutely not. our margins last _ are you profiteering? absolutely not. our margins last year - are you profiteering? absolutely not. our margins last year were | are you profiteering? absolutely i not. our margins last year were the lowest _ not. our margins last year were the lowest we _ not. our margins last year were the lowest we have seen for a long time. we made _ lowest we have seen for a long time. we made less profit year on year. thlet's— we made less profit year on year. that's because we made really conscious_ that's because we made really conscious decisions to keep our prices _ conscious decisions to keep our prices as— conscious decisions to keep our prices as low as we possibly could. we have _ prices as low as we possibly could. we have tried to absorb as much of the information as possible so we are not_ the information as possible so we are not passing it on to our customers. it's quite disappointing to see _ customers. it's quite disappointing to see that— customers. it's quite disappointing to see that criticism because the whole _ to see that criticism because the whole industry is hard as possible,

this time alongside his family. rob along with his wife lindsey and their three children willjoin the mini and junior courses of the jane tomlinson run for all in leeds onjune the 18th, which is father's day. the two courses are about a mile, and a mile and a half. remember earlier this month rob took part in the leeds marathon with his friend and former team mate kevin sinfield there is really moving images of him being carried across the finish line were remarkable. matt has given us calm this morning in beautiful gardens, explain where you are and tell us what the flower is on your right, the white one. i knew this was coming my way at some point! it is very pretty, there you go! we are in gloucestershire this morning, at kiftsgate court gardens near chipping campden,

beautiful gardens set in amazing grounds. being cultivated by three female gardeners from three generations, and the current owner has made the colour scheme to complement that of the original her grandmother did all the years ago, it has been in the family for 100 years now. it is beautiful here, certainly is, and beautiful skies overhead. so let's have a look at the forecast. dry and sunny across the uk for the vast majority, warmth in the sunshine but fresher around the coasts particularly in the far south—east and the south—west of the uk where we have a breeze. the first —— far north—west will be under thick cloud may be the odd spot of drizzle, but england and wales and northern ireland largely sunny, a bit of cloud building up northern england into midlands and wales. temperatures today up a notch on

yesterday, to 22 degrees in parts of the south—west midlands. teens in the south—west midlands. teens in the south—east and far north—west. as we go into tonight, most places in england and wales will stay dry and clear. cloud in the north and west of scotland with further showers pushing in, heavy ones later in the night. temperatures in stornoway fresher, low single figures for one or two referrals spots. for england and wales, a woman sunny start. a few showers around in some areas, does the fine weather continue for the weekend? i will let you know in half an hour. back to you. fire service chiefs are warning e—bike and e—scooter riders to buy them from reputable dealers, after an increase in devastating fires caused by battery explosions. some of the explosions were caught on film and shared by fire brigades

to show exactly how dangerous they can be. tim muffett has the story. avi noticed a strange smell coming from his electric bike last saturday. so i was going to go and just double check if it was the smell coming off the bike. then this. i was so scared. plan was to take my bike downstairs to the garage ready for work the next morning. thank god i didn't go in the lift and it didn't explode in the lift. you know what? i'm still in shock. i still sit down, and because we've got the video that we can see exactly what happened. yeah, i was lucky my kids are still here. london fire brigades don't yet know the precise cause of the explosion. the bike wasn't being charged at the time. it had been bought second—hand with an additional battery pack fitted.

we've seen a real surge in these fires compared to the same period last year, 60% increase in these fires. and we're having one like the film you've shown today every other day. sofia was staying at her boyfriend's flat in london on new year's day. a bike that had been converted into an e—bike caught fire in the flat hallway after its lithium battery pack failed catastrophically. she died. sofia died because of one bike. what's your message to people who have an e—scooter or an e—bike? what do you say to them? i say buy something good. leave outside. maybe it's expensive, but it's better. the people need to see what happened to my daughter. and do something, for don't happen again. from thinking there's something

wrong with your e—bike or your e—scooter potentially stored in your home to it flashing over and causing an unsurvivable environment can be as little as ten seconds, and that's our concern. lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of energy in a small space. typically, they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. but if a battery cell heats up uncontrollably, it can lead to a chain reaction known as thermal runaway. it's what happened in illingworth in west yorkshire in late february when an electric motorbike had been left on charge in a house overnight. four people were taken to hospital. fortunately, none of their injuries were life threatening. so what should someone do then if they have an e—bike or an e—scooter and they want to charge it safely? don't charge when you're asleep.

don't charge unattended. don't charge them on your escape route. use the right charger for the battery and ideally buy, if it's an e—bike or an e—scooter, buy it from a reputable dealer where you know the provenance, you know, you can see the safety data sheet that's associated with that battery. south western railway announced this week that e—scooters will be banned from next month because of potential fire risks. great western railway and transport for london have already banned them. they can be a safe, environmentally friendly way of getting about. but as the popularity of e—scooters and e—bikes grows, fire brigades are concerned by the rising number of fires caused by faulty lithium ion batteries. tim muffett, bbc news. steve jordan is from greater manchester fire service. good morning. you have seen first hand damage that can be done? yes.

and it can really rapidly proceed. yes, there is an increasing risk, and that's why fire services like london today are promoting things like the charge safe campaign, fire and rescue services are promoting the bike and e—scooter safety. even though in greater manchester we are not saying a huge elevated level of incidents, we are now starting to see them starting to rise. that's understandable when you look at the volume of usage now. they are a good way to get around in the urban environment, they do have potential environmental benefits, reducing carbon reduction, but with the increased usage, you do get increased usage, you do get increased risk.— increased usage, you do get increased risk. �* , ., ., ~' increased risk. i'm trying to work out what peeple _ increased risk. i'm trying to work out what people do _ increased risk. i'm trying to work out what people do with - increased risk. i'm trying to work out what people do with this i out what people do with this information. you see these scary pictures and you have recounted what happens. if someone owns one of these bikes and they need to charging up, how can they be sure that their bike is not going to be one of those that ended up like that? it

during the daytime, or when you are awake, don't charge it at night. and for any electrical appliance, the greatest risk is when you are sleeping. so that counts for everything. make sure you use the proper charger for the bike. everything. make sure you use the proper chargerfor the bike. we tend to find people are using the wrong kind of charger for the to find people are using the wrong kind of chargerfor the battery to find people are using the wrong kind of charger for the battery and that essential. the key thing is the escape route in the smoke alarm. i’m escape route in the smoke alarm. i'm t in: to escape route in the smoke alarm. i'm trying to get my head around why these happens. essentially it's because these batteries are overheating, and the scooter is not being looked after properly? there is an element _ being looked after properly? there is an element of— being looked after properly? there is an element of that. _ being looked after properly? there is an element of that. lithium i is an element of that. lithium batteries provide so much benefit, they store a lot of energy, they charge fast and they have greater duration. they create risks. i would always say it's about maintaining the e—bike and e—scooter. you are looking at key factors. look at heat. if you feel the battery is getting a bit warm, too hot to touch, there could be a fault with

the battery, get it looked at. if you hear crackling or something isn't right, unplug it, take it off, there could be a fault. performance is a big factor. if you notice that it is taking too long to charge or discharging really quickly, there could be a fault with it. and the final thing is looking at the visibility of the battery. keep on regularly checking it, if you see any links or lumps all bulging, then there might be something wrong. goad there might be something wrong. good to have ou there might be something wrong. good to have you here. _ there might be something wrong. good to have you here, thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. i'm frankie mccamley, let's get some of your london news. the number of bars, nightclubs and restaurants in the capital has fallen by nearly 16% since before the pandemic. data tracking hospitality found there are 540 fewer venues now than there were in 2020. it suggests the pandemic

and the cost of living crisis are having a big impact. grace regan had to shut both of her restaurants. we're closing after four and a half years of serving our vegan curry to walthamstow. and we've decided to close because basically, ever since covid, we've seen a reduction in revenue and an increase in our costs, and it's just no longer viable to be running the business. a statue of the peace campaigner brian haw, who spent ten years camped outside parliament, will be installed opposite the imperial war museum mr haw died from lung cancer in 2011 having spent a decade protesting against british and american foreign policy. efforts were made to remove him but it was only an illness that forced him to stop. it's a big weekend for luton town with the club just one game away from the premier league. they play coventry in the championship play—off final

tomorrow at wembley. if they win, they'll be the first side to have gone from non—league to the premier league. no football club has success just because of one person. it's down to a lot of people. it's been a real team effort. you know, our club is run by supporters who care so much about the club and give their full time and dedication to it. they won't allow the club to ever go back into those dark, dark days. let's take a look at the tube now. we've seen minor delays on the circle line. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. there will be some differences day on day with cloud and sunshine about, but in general it's good news as we head into the bank holiday weekend. if you've got outdoor plans or in fact if you're out and about next week as well, it will be dry and settled. high pressure very much dominating. this morning a chilly

start to the day. we saw clear skies last night so there will be a lot of blue sky and sunshine around today. some fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon. perhaps a little bit more cloud down through parts of the thames estuary at times as well. temperatures peaking in the high teens for most and there is a noticeable north—easterly wind. overnight tonight, again the skies will remain largely clear. there will be some mist developing perhaps into tomorrow morning. temperatures once more dropping back in rural spots to mid—single figures. on saturday, it will feel a little warmer. again, there will be lots of sunshine throughout the day. temperatures will peak in the low 20s in celsius. we'll see more cloud though on sunday. it should still be dry. the wind will pick up on bank holiday monday. plenty of sunshine but just a little cooler. that's it from me — more news at 9:00. don't forget weve got more online and on bbc radio london where you'll find the lovely riz lateef. have a lovely morning. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast

with charlie stayt and tina daheley. plenty of people will be going in the sea over the next few days but would you know what to do if you got into difficulty in open water? the answer is not necessarily to swim — but to float. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is on a beach in cornwall to tell us more. morning, john. good morning. it's a beautiful day here in cornwall. we are at gwithian. there are a few services out enjoying themselves but what you often can't see is what's going on under the waves with the rip currents. those are the issues people can have problems with if they are in the water and not confident of the circumstances the conditions. this float to live

campaign the rnli has been running for the last few years has proved successful, notjust on the coastline but also at inland waterways. we unfortunately saw a couple of drownings earlier this week and people in lakes, rivers and canals if they fall into the water accidentally and it's very cold, that's when they can face a real issue. someone was rescued just off the speech last september. her name is tina and just listen to her story. tina: i thinki deserve a hug. the last time these two met tina was fighting for her life and tarryn was intent on saving it. you all right? yeah, i'm good. i'm very well. thank you so much. you've got nothing to thank me for. really, it was a pleasure and i'm glad you're well. i remember when you jumped in the water and you were like, are you ok to get on board? i was like, try and stop me. tina had gone for a swim off godrevy beach in west cornwall. at first the conditions seemed benign, but then she realised there was a strong current taking her out to sea and she couldn't get back to shore and to safety.

i'm not a bad swimmer, but i'm not a triathlete, you know. but there was no way i knew i was going to get back in. and i think at that point the realisation that i was going to have to start calling for help to get attention. and by this point, peoplejust are like little ants on the beach. it was, you know, the realisation that you're suddenly in this situation. she was in real trouble. but fighting panic, something in the back of her mind clicked — the phrase "float to live." she'd spotted it on an advertising screen near her workplace. so i kept getting attention and then i was doing the float to live, to kind of conserve some energy and then doing it again. and then when i saw the lifeguard and tarryn, when she sort of, when they were coming and i saw the yellow and i was like, they're here, and just the relief. i know personally, if i'd tried to swim against that current orjust tried to tread water i would've gone under. so that technique saves lives. it saved your life.

it saved my life. i would never want to put it to the test again, but definitely anybody who finds themself in a similar situation out there, because you feel so alone and so small out in the water, to utilise that technique. it does save lives, it saved my life. tarryn, one of the beach lifeguards on duty that day, says tina's behaviour was textbook. you actually did something that made myjob so easy, because i was able to talk to you. i mean, every rescue i have, they've been in a complete state of panic, unable to communicate, and then i've had to get in the water, put myself in danger to assist them. with you, i was just able to talk to you. you were breathing, you didn't swallow any water. you were actually so calm. those waves were so high out there. when we panic, we then start really getting ourselves, we can't think clearly. our body goes into a state of shock and then we're just going one way, unfortunately. so, inside the rnli's training pool it's time for a refresher. 40% of drowning victims didn't

intend to enter the water. so, we've fallen into the water accidentally. we have. what do we do? the most important thing is to try and stay calm and the best way of doing that is, remember, float to live. so first thing, if you tilt your head back and get your ears submerged, it might be a bit disorientating but that's going to give you a body the best position in order to be able to float calmly. this year, following new research, the rnli is updating its advice. we all float differently, that's something that's come out of the research as well. so some people's legs will sink — mine do. other people may float on the surface, a bit like a perfect starfish. so the main message is it doesn't matter how you float, as long as you do as little as possible to keep yourself calm. so you might need to do some sculling with your arms. so bring your hands back and forth across, like we're doing now. maybe a bit of movement with your legs. but the key thing is not to panic, not to thrash around, not to try and swim really hard, but to stay as calm as possible. as quickly as you can, get your breathing under control, because that temperature difference falling into cold water can be quite traumatic and cause your breathing

to get out of control, so try to calm yourself down. more than 220 people drowned in the uk last year. so, with summer approaching, the water safety message remains vital. and tina knows "float to live" does exactly what it says on the poster. she is living proof. we are going to show you a demonstration of the technique they used to rescue tina.— used to rescue tina. please proceed with the rescue. _ used to rescue tina. please proceed with the rescue. steve _ used to rescue tina. please proceed with the rescue. steve is _ used to rescue tina. please proceed with the rescue. steve is a - with the rescue. steve is a volunteer. _ with the rescue. steve is a volunteer, a _ with the rescue. steve is a volunteer, a member- with the rescue. steve is a volunteer, a member of. with the rescue. steve is a i volunteer, a member of staff, in with the rescue. steve is a - volunteer, a member of staff, in the waterjust beyond the rocks. you can see they are getting ready to go and rescue him. ~ �* see they are getting ready to go and rescue him-— see they are getting ready to go and rescue him. ~ �* ., ., ., , rescue him. we've got two lifeguards who are on a — rescue him. we've got two lifeguards who are on a risky _ rescue him. we've got two lifeguards

in the premier league at stake. two unlikely teams. it's an incredible story. both clubs have rags to riches stories to tell and were playing each other in league 2 just 5 years ago. tomorrow i'll look at luton town's journey back from the brink but today it's coventry city. a club that has been broke, fallen through the leagues over the last 2 decades, and at times has had to play home games in northampton and birmingham, but now they're back and dreams are being restored. # sky blue army, sky blue army. this city has a history of rebuilding, of defying the odds with its power of recovery. the new cathedral stands next to the remains of the one that was bombed in the blitz of 1940. and now the football club has been rebuilt. # que sera, sera. # whatever will be, will be. # we're going to win the league... having been to the brink and back, they're finding their voice again. at times they've been homeless

and broke, but now they're just one match away from the premier league, 22 years after coventry were relegated. coventry are going down. goodbye. tears for the travelling supporters. coventry city are relegated. ..are relegated. aiden was that i2—year—old coventry fan in tears on the telly that day back in 2001. it feels crazy. it feels like yesterday, but it doesn't. after everything that our football club has been through, i'm just so immensely proud. at the time when i did appear on match of the day, i was at school on the monday, everyone was laughing and joking. but now the whole city, even those people, they're going to be celebrating our success at wembley no matter what happens. it was just a really emotional time. i daren't say that i probably won't cry again when i get to wembley, and if we go up and/or down, it's the emotions of football. and that's as a grown man at 3a now, as opposed to being 12, you know. so yeah, it's a memory that

actually i am proud of. # let's all sing together... supporters in fine voice again, including singer—songwriter tom grennan, who fell in love with coventry city during their rise up the leagues from 2018. i've never felt it with football before. just the way it's kind of affecting like, i don't know, my emotions and that, and i've never really had that. so much so, that even though tom is in dundee this saturday for radio 1's big weekend, he's still paying for a fan from argentina to make the trip. tom spotted on social media that lauti, who fell in love with coventry through playing fifa, was going to sell his car to raise the funds. no—one needs to be selling cars to watch a football match. let's get you over, and, i don't know, let's celebrate together, mate. and i want you to celebrate with all the cov fans.

i was at myjob and i saw that my cell phone was on fire. i have a lot of notifications. and i said, wow, what happened? and i saw tom's tweet. and ijust couldn't believe that. it means that i don't have to sell my car. this story of a club's rise from league two to the brink of the premier league within five years, under the management of mark robins, has inspired a whole city. it's brought the club and the fans back together again, nowhere more so than at the new sky blue tavern, which was redesigned and opened to coincide with the club's renaissance. and it's here that you find the club's most famous fans, the so—called mad hatters. sorry, mate, you can't come in with that hat. actually, they are tea cosies rather than hats, and the mad hatters have been wearing them since the early 1980s and kept them on through the pain of the last two decades. it's been so hurtful, really.

but we're back there again to the promised land. that's what i'm worried about. we will get there. the ecstasy in this town is unbelievable. i mean, the fans are just buzzing. the people living there are buzzing. if we can get back to the premier league, just for that one season even, before we die, we'll die happy. this saturday's play—off final is seen as the biggest match for coventry since their fa cup final win of 1987. the sky blues are sky—high. when they beat spurs in a thriller at wembley, and the man of the match that day has now found his achievements back in the spotlight again. david bennett! it's special we're doing well. i've got a new generation of fans. the kids weren't born then, especially girls now getting into football. their dads are telling them, that's him. do i look a bit younger now? but it's magnificent and the city is buzzing, so hopefully we can have another '87. just mad, absolutely mad, thinking we are 90 minutes away from being back

in the premier league, which i mean, we've all dreamt of for so long. but this could be it. this could be the reality. # why do we sing together? even rico the dog is excited at this former players' reunion, with the horizon now looking so sky blue again. the party has started even before the match and it's ironic that the mad hatters in the tea cosies will be up against their team luton town known as the hatters. tomorrow i will focus on luton town. whose fall into non—league football it has been even more extreme their rise from league 2 in the last five years, just as remarkable. their ground is a throw back to the past with the entrance for away fans, in the middle of a terraced street.

this would be a unique experience for premier league supporters climbing the steps, that go into the away end, above residents gardens. and inside this would be a shock for erling haaland and co. it may only hold 10,000, but the fans are so close to the pitch here. luton fans can't believe they're only one match from a first ever season in the premier league. and the smile of this man is apparently still in the dna of this club — comedian and former director eric morcambe — who is responsible all these years on for their orange kit. it's brilliant to hear those stories. , , ., ~ ., stories. they still talk about him even though _ stories. they still talk about him even though it _ stories. they still talk about him even though it sadly _ stories. they still talk about him even though it sadly nearly i stories. they still talk about him even though it sadly nearly 40 i stories. they still talk about him i even though it sadly nearly 40 years even though it sadly nearly a0 years since he past. thank you. it's going to be another sunny weekend for much of the uk. for a good part of it. not always. but very good morning. wearing gloucestershire in chipping campden. i've shown you the beautiful building in stunning gardens but what we haven't shown you yet is the

incredible view. take a look at what's behind me. the view right across the vale of evesham towards the malvern is. bathed in blue skies. for many, blue skies overhead subtly for today. let's take a look at the forecast because it will be a dry day for the vast majority under fairly sunny one. feeling warm as the sun is out after a fresh start. the exception will be across the far north and west of scotland. as you can see we've got a weather front pushing in. that's bringing some light rain and drizzle at times. away from that, sunshine out, sunniest conditions for england and wales. the cloud building this afternoon across the north of england and wales in particular. temperatures today at the highest around this area in the south west midlands. most places high teens, late 20s. in south—east england a bit cooler. more of a breeze here.

with the cloud and drizzle feeling cooler. the wind picking up three to 19 to tomorrow. tomorrow will be a windy day. a few summers later on. try tonight with clear skies around, mist and fog patches just about possible but temperatures are down into mid or low single figures. this bank holiday weekend some of the mornings and evenings are other cool but in the sunshine feeling quite pleasant. the saturday a warmer day than today with plenty of sunshine. highs of 23 to the east of northern england. scotland and northern ireland a bit cooler. showers moving southwards. that leaves into england and wales for sunday. one or two isolated showers, most places dry on sunday. the wings using relative to saturday. always more cloud around on sunday. one of the cloudy days of the weekend and starting to feel cooler in those cloudier moments. into bank holiday monday, the big thing we need to watch out as eastern counties of england, mist and low cloud will have rolled in.

how far west that gets will be the question. a lot of it will dissipate, some 20 bank holiday monday. nice enough in the sunshine but still a bit fresher than we've had. eitherway, when but still a bit fresher than we've had. either way, when the sun is out it is strong sunshine at this time of year and pollen creeping up a little bit especially for england and wales. that is your forecast from gloucestershire. comedian jack whitehall�*s current tour is all about his fear of settling down and growing up. did you like the garden? are you a gardener? you can't see it, matt was doing the weather the.— doing the weather the. that's a icture! doing the weather the. that's a picture! he's — doing the weather the. that's a picture! he's been _ doing the weather the. that's a picture! he's been in _ doing the weather the. that's a picture! he's been in a - doing the weather the. that's a | picture! he's been in a beautiful carden in picture! he's been in a beautiful garden in the — picture! he's been in a beautiful garden in the cotswolds. - picture! he's been in a beautiful garden in the cotswolds. the i picture! he's been in a beautiful- garden in the cotswolds. the garden? i don't garden but that is the next stage _ i don't garden but that is the next stage i'm — i don't garden but that is the next stage. i'm getting older and more mature _ stage. i'm getting older and more mature and gardening is the next level— mature and gardening is the next level of— mature and gardening is the next level of that.—
