to the network, as well as to his agents, lawyers and family. he said the relationship was "unwise, but not illegal". itv said it felt deeply disappointed by what it called his admissions of deceit. simonjones reports. welcome back. i'm holding the fort. holly has had to leave a bit early today, because she's meeting his majesty the king... in the space ofjust a week, he's gone from being one of itv�*s megastars to seeing his career in ruins. as holly said on stage, we never take it for granted. never, ever, ever... phillip schofield has admitted he lied to colleagues, his employers, the media and the public, about a relationship he had with a man he first met when the man was a teenager, helping him to get into television. after the man started work on this morning, it became more thanjust friendship. in a statement to the daily

mail, phillip schofield said... he said he hadn't been truthful, because he had wanted to protect the man's identity. how long has it actually been since we've done this? he insisted his decision to leave this morning was unrelated to the deceit. it's been widely reported there had been an off—air rift between he and his co—presenter, holly willoughby, despite appearances. this probably is the end of phillip schofield's career, for the moment. i mean, if he has not been truthful with people, and he's lied to everybody he said he's lied to, that's over. you know, you need integrity, i think, to present the type of television phillip schofield is known for. we've got all the buttons here, shall we try to press them all?

"we feel badly let down." this week began with phillip schofield's colleagues marking his departure from this morning. now, we can't start today's show without paying tribute to the man who's spent the last two decades sitting on the this morning sofa, phillip schofield. the week ends with a dramatic fall from grace. see you monday, bye—bye! simon jones, bbc news. the family of one of the two boys who were killed in an e—bike crash

support, although military kit can and will make a difference, that it will shift the dial here and break what is an effective deadlock across the country and that is what is making officials here really quite nervous. police in carlisle are searching for a boy who has gone missing in the river eden. emergency services were called last night after four teenage boys were reported to have got into difficulty in the river. two were rescued safely, while one was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition — a 15—year—old boy still remains missing. the post office has apologised for using racist terms to describe sub—postmasters wrongly investigated as part of the horizon computer scandal. the faulty it system led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions for theft and false accounting over 15 years. the papers show fraud investigators were asked to group suspects based on racial features.

borisjohnson has insisted that there is nothing in his diary from when he was prime minister that showed further rule breaking during the covid pandemic. cabinet office officials referred mrjohnson to the police after a review of documents for the covid inquiry. speaking to sky news, he said that was "absurd" and denied that any of the entries referred to socialising. here's our political correspondent, leila nathoo. borisjohnson cosmo boris johnson cosmo behaviour borisjohnson cosmo behaviour in the pandemic is once again under scrutiny. as part of his diary in —— during the covid enquiry proctored officials to alert police over further breaches of restrictions in addition to those already established. the cabinet office said they had been obliged to disclose they had been obliged to disclose the documents under the civil service code but in his first public comments on the matter to sky news mrjohnson insisted his diary entries did not show any rule breaking. entries did not show any rule breaking-— breaking. there are tens of thousands _ breaking. there are tens of thousands of _ breaking. there are tens of thousands of entries - breaking. there are tens of thousands of entries in - breaking. there are tens of thousands of entries in the | breaking. there are tens of- thousands of entries in the prime ministerial diary. i've never seen these things before, i mean, i've

looked through it. none of them constitute a breach of the rules during covid, they were entering lockdown, they were during other periods of the restrictions stop none of them constitute a breach of principles, none of them involve socialising, it is total nonsense. police are now considering the next steps. the commons committee looking into whether mrjohnson misled parliament over covid rule breaking was also notified, a new potential breaches. it is now waiting for his official response to the latest claims. layla caused widespread damage. earlier in the week, schools and universities across the country were shut down as a precaution after houses became flooded and cars submerged. while the rain caused chaos, it was also welcomed by many in spain after a prolonged drought. 12 people who were convicted of witchcraft almost 400 years ago have been exonerated by politicians in the us state of connecticut. 11 of them were hanged after trials,

which the state senate now say were a "miscarriage ofjustice". it follows a long—running campaign by descendants to clear the names of those wrongfully accused of being witches. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. what is the picture across the country? what is the picture across the count ? a, ., i. what is the picture across the count ? ., i. ., what is the picture across the count ? ., ., ., country? morning to you. have to say if it is d , country? morning to you. have to say if it is dry. fine — country? morning to you. have to say if it is dry, fine and _ country? morning to you. have to say if it is dry, fine and sunny _ country? morning to you. have to say if it is dry, fine and sunny weather - if it is dry, fine and sunny weather you are looking for this weekend it is not looking too bad. this is how things are starting off in county down. it will start, and that scene replicated in many parts of the country. driver most during the weekend and spells of warm sunshine thatis weekend and spells of warm sunshine that is not quite the whole story because on the earlier satellite picture of you can see this stripe of cloud pushing towards the north of cloud pushing towards the north of scotland and that will bring a little bit of rain across the northern western isles, getting down

highest temperatures out west, 21. thank you very much. see you later on. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. many carry news of former this morning presenter phillip schofield's affair with a younger itv employee while he was still married. the sun describes the revelation as a "bombshell" which has ended his career. so they say. elsewhere, the times reports that foreign teachers are being offered £10,000 to work in english schools as part of an overseas recruitment drive by ministers to fill classroom vacancies. the paper says hundreds of maths, science and language teachers will be brought in from countries such as india and nigeria this year. the daily telegraph leads with a warning from former head of the raf, sir mike wigston, who tells the paper that russia will be "vindictive" if it loses its war in ukraine,

posing a direct threat to the uk. and lastly let's look at the guardian. and the prime minister has been warned that the uk economy could be in recession before the next general election. the paper says economists have predicted the bank of england could be forced into it, to tame stubbornly high inflation rates. it is 16 minutes past six. thank you for being with us. time now to take a jump to the left, then a step the right — because the rocky horror show is turning 50. yes, it was 1973 when the first cast members put on their fish nets and took to the stage to an audience of just 63 people. since then, its iconic status has grown. here's our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. the rocky horror show, 50 years of transvestites, transsexuals, and time warps. transvestites, transsexuals, and time warps-— transvestites, transsexuals, and time wars. . time warps. welcome welcome well. and this is where _

so the women's super league title will be decided later, at the end of a season that has been its most competitive and most keenly followed. chelsea go to reading knowing a win will secure a fourth successive title ahead of second—placed manchester united. i think back to every campaign. we have _ i think back to every campaign. we have only— i think back to every campaign. we have only ever won the league by a couple _ have only ever won the league by a couple of— have only ever won the league by a couple of points at best, maybe a game _ couple of points at best, maybe a game, somewhere along the lines. so this is— game, somewhere along the lines. so this isjust _ game, somewhere along the lines. so this isjust business as usual for us. this isjust business as usual for us and — this isjust business as usual for us and so _ this isjust business as usual for us. and so the preparation is what we prepared for at the very beginning of the season. in this moment, where _ beginning of the season. in this moment, where we _ beginning of the season. in this moment, where we are - beginning of the season. in this moment, where we are and i beginning of the season. in this i moment, where we are and where we have come from and how young we are, to have done it in the way that we have come up with breaking our points tally, i think our best clean sheets, most goals scored, all these different factors, and the way we have done it, winning games late, early, comfortably, scrapes them — there are so many experiences and therefore is to learn from that will help us for next season.

next to the climax of rugby union's premiership at twickenham later today. the regular season started with 13 teams and ended with 11 — after wasps and worcester warriors entered administration — and now the two best sides, clash in the showpiece event. sale sharks, against saracens who are looking for their sixth title, and redemption, after last season's defeat to leicester tigers. it isa it is a spectacular story and you cannot, you cannot question what they are doing within that infrastructure because not many teams would come through the adversity that team has been through. granted, yes, they have a team full of superstars but to be able to retain them when you've been relegated into the champion ship and come under so much scrutiny and bounce back and go on the run that they have, get into a final last year and lose out to lester in such a close encounter game and then back it up the following year to be in

another final and potentially in the history books again would be one of the greatest teams in the league, it is a special story. for sale, its theirfirst final since 2006 — it's also the first time since then, that a club from the north of england has been in the showpiece game. fly half george ford says he hopes it could provide inspiration. hopefully a lot, yeah. i think it's just the semi—final, the atmosphere and the enjoyment people had from that game was unbelievable. and that is what we want to do. inspire people up here, to be proud of this rugby team, want to come watch us, and inspiring team, and entertaining team at the same time. obviously inspires the next generation to come through and hopefully correct carry on playing. thejockey club has won a high court injunction to prevent animal rights protesters disrupting the derby festival next week with the epsom owner

he was seen to be clutching his stomach at times during the second set. he managed to finish the match. of set. he managed to finish the match. of course the french open begins tomorrow with norrie playing french wildcard in the first round so hopefully he has recovered. lewis hamilton says he "felt the improvements" of his upgraded mercedes car, after finishing sixth fastest, in practice for this this weekend's monaco grand prix. red bull's max verstappen, set the pace ahead, of the ferraris of charles leclerc, and carlos sainz. mercedes have struggled this season, and as a result have made several changes, including new front suspension, sidepods and floor changes. it could be a historic weekend in cycling, with a first giro d'italia crown, within touching distance now, for britain's geraint thomas. today it's an eleven and a half mile time

developed into a complex story. however, you can see a glimpse of indiana jones in all his youthful beauty in parts of the film, in a flashback opening sequence. director james mangold rated previous indiana jones director steven spielberg's archives and made use of digital technology to recreate the sequence. stephen schot four indiana jones movies with harrison and three of them were in the age that the opening sequence takes place and so we had an incredible reservoir of footage of harrison's face, dressed, and indiana jones as indiana jones, every expression, every lighting style so it gave us an incredible leg up in terms of how to render him and youngify him, if you will. and

harrison isn't a pound above the weight as he was at 3a years old. the film hearkens back to pre—pandemic danes stop yet but the buzz around the premier and the contribution to the industry, with mixed reviews, the film is unlikely to repeat for hollywood in business what top gun maverick achieved from the moment it arrived on the cannes quiz at last year. in1976, ini976, martin in 1976, martin scorsese came to the cannes film festival with the new york city film taxi driver with robert de niro and jodie foster. it went on to become a huge movie plastic. this year, martin scorsese returned to the cannes film festival with one of the more eagerly awaited american movies, the western crime driver. here is colima avenue tab.

what makes this film so exciting is that not only does it have robert de niro, leonardo dicaprio, the two great muses of modern scorsese's directorial career. then i dicaprio is muted. when not sure what is motivation is, but he marries a very rich native american in the 1920s in osage county, and he has an uncle played by robert de niro, who encourages him to be conniving and we get the idea that the uncle wants the nephew to take all of his wife's money. overall, it is a beautiful film. it really takes us through howard native americans were not just poor and mistreated, but could also be rich, but how white power worked, and modern scorsese really

now is it. the film went down like gangbusters in cannes this year. modern scorsese has been debated for a triumphant return. the film is a classic ending that for many will feel perhaps like it is modern scorsese's last movie, even though he says it isn't. but if it is he has gone out with a bang and cannes has gone out with a bang and cannes has definitely faded him in the way it is magnificent career deserves. —— fated. can you find the wolves in this picture? can you find the wolves in this icture? ., �* , picture? some great british filmmakers _ picture? some great british filmmakers were _ picture? some great british filmmakers were in - picture? some great british filmmakers were in cannes| picture? some great british - filmmakers were in cannes this year, among them steve mcqueen. i have to admit i am a big fan. he is a compassionate storyteller and extremely gifted. he launches new

goodbye julia current conflict. the film is called goodbyejulia and it is directed by an aviation engineered turned director, mohamed kordofani, said before this incident gained independence in 2011. its presence independence in 2011. its presence in cannes as it is a pivotal moment and a great step forward for the sudanese film making community. mohamed kordofani told me before arriving in cannes he felt torn. it is a bittersweet feeling, to be honest, because as i want the red carpet, i know the people are fleeing their homes and trying to get to safety. on the other hand i know that this brings attention to what is going on in suit and in some we can help. —— sudan. the

french riviera. going into cannes this year, commentators noted that africa was finally having its moment at the festival. there were more africa set features in the official selection than ever before. what is interesting is the wave of filmmaking is being driven by some extremely talented female directors. as anna jones has been finding out. well the cast of four daughters. it has been praised for its innovative storytelling. four daughters is the real story of a tunisian woman whose daughters left suddenly to join islamic state. two actors play their parts as the remaining family put together what letter the moment. i started by shooting a fly on the

wall documentary, but i quickly realised that it isn't interesting, that i need more to dig deep in this story. i need more tools. and so i borrowed tools from fiction, from cinema, mainly, to go further and you tell the story in a better, deeper way. you tell the story in a better, deeperway. it you tell the story in a better, deeper way. it isn't the kind of free enactment, but a kind of dialogue, i think, free enactment, but a kind of dialogue, ithink, between free enactment, but a kind of dialogue, i think, between actor and real character. six. dialogue, i think, between actor and real character.— real character. six years ago the director had _ real character. six years ago the director had a _ real character. six years ago the director had a film _ real character. six years ago the director had a film at _ real character. six years ago the director had a film at cannes i real character. six years ago the i director had a film at cannes called beauty and the dogs, a story of a you do make tunisian woman seeking justice after an attack by police. this year, she represented tunisia in the main competition at cannes. the world is changing and cannes is,

you know, they are sensitive to the changes. so the fact that there are two women directors from africa in the main competition with names like ken loach, it is a great thing. the film ben and adana is said in a senegalese village and tells a story of a woman who longs to leave and live only with a husband, adana. the climate changes affecting the region and they can't escape their communal obligations. and they can't escape their communal obliiations. �* . �* and they can't escape their communal obligations-_ i - and they can't escape their communal obligations._ i wanted | obligations. translation: iwanted to rate a great _ obligations. translation: iwanted to rate a great love _ obligations. translation: iwanted to rate a great love story _ obligations. translation: iwanted to rate a great love story like - to rate a great love story like romeo and juliet but a love story that would take place in africa, and senegal, and i wanted to be a tragedy like lady macbeth. the

visible to a close. —— cannes film festival to a close. from me, tom brooke, the rest of the talking movies team, here on the french riviera, it's goodbye.

the moment it arrived on the cannes quiz at last year.

good morning welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today: phillip schofield quits itv after admitting he had an affair with a younger male employee and lying about it — the network says it's deeply disappointed by his admissions of deceit. a vigil takes place in cardiff for the two teenagers killed in an accident which sparked rioting — the family of one of them tells us they're still trying to find out what happened. i've got faith and trust in my family and this community that we will continue to fight and get the truth out there and we will get justice for these boys. brace yourself for a dramatic weekend of sport it will be a life

changing day, for either luton or coventry — with a place in the premier league awaiting the winner of the championship playoff final, at wembley. and chelsea will be hoping to clinch, their fourth womens super league title, in a row, this afternoon but if they slip up at reading, manchester united could still snatch it. welcome aboard hms defender here at liverpool as part of the commemorations of the 80th anniversary for the battle of the atlantic. but now it is time to wake the ship up, take it away! whistle. it is —— if it is fine and dry weather this bank holiday weekend you are looking for i have plenty of that. but a coolerfeel you are looking for i have plenty of that. but a cooler feel in the north of the uk. all the details on the way. it's saturday the 27th of may. our main story. phillip schofield has resigned from itv after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague at this morning.

in a statement, mr schofield said he had lied about the relationship to the network, as well as to his agents, lawyers and family. he said the relationship was "unwise, but not illegal". itv said it felt deeply disappointed by what it called his admissions of deceit. simonjones reports. welcome back. i'm holding the fort. holly has had to leave a bit early today, because she's meeting his majesty the king... in the space ofjust a week, he's gone from being one of itv�*s megastars to seeing his career in ruins. as holly said on stage, we never take it for granted. never, ever, ever... phillip schofield has admitted he lied to colleagues, his employers, the media and the public, about a relationship he had with a man he first met when the man was a teenager, helping him to get into television. after the man started work on this morning, it became more than just a friendship. in a statement to the daily

mail, phillip schofield said... he said he hadn't been truthful, because he had wanted to protect the man. how long has it actually been since we've done this? he insisted his decision to leave this morning was unrelated to the deceit. it's been widely reported there had been an off—air rift between he and his co—presenter, holly willoughby, despite appearances. this probably is the end of phillip schofield's career, for the moment. i mean, if he has not been truthful with people, and he's lied to everybody he said he's lied to, that's over. you know, you need integrity, i think, to present the type of television phillip schofield is known for. we've got all the buttons here, shall we try pressing them all? he has been a face on tv since the 19805. in recent years, a presenter of some of itv�*s biggest shows. next tonight — it's the award for...

he had been due to present the british soap awards next weekend, and he and holly willoughby had presented dancing on ice together, but he's now quit the network. this morning is filmed here at television centre. in a statement, itv said it was deeply disappointed by what it called the admissions of deceit by phillip schofield. it said, "philip made assurances to us which he now acknowledges were untrue. we feel badly let down." this week began with phillip schofield's colleagues marking his departure from this morning. now, we can't start today's show without paying tribute to the man who's spent the last two decades sitting on the this morning sofa, phillip schofield. the week ends with a dramatic fall from grace. see you monday, bye! simon jones, bbc news. the family of one of the two boys who were killed in an e—bike crash in cardiff have told the bbc that they will fight to get to the truth of what happened. the deaths of 16—year—old

kyrees sullivan, and 15—year—old harvey evans, sparked a riot in the city's ely suburb — but the circumstances behind the accident remain unclear. our wales correspondent tomos morgan has this report. around 1,000 friends and family came together to celebrate last night. cheering two teenagers whose favourite colour was blue. 15—year—old harvey evans and 16—year—old kyrees sullivan died on this same street on monday. doesn't seem real. i don't think it's sunk in with any of us yet. i don't think we'll ever get used to the idea of not having harvey here. it's — we'll never get used to it. it's a massive part of our life gone. he, he was amazing. for the first time since his death, harvey's family has spoken exclusively to the bbc about what's happened and how they were kept waiting for news. we were all stood at that barrier for over two hours

and we were begging, begging, please tell us if they're alive or dead. we were begging them. i had held up my sister and we were begging them and they wouldn't tell us nothing. and then someone ran into the crowd with their phone and said i've got a video, i've got a video of the police chasing them. and that is what started it. what happened next was an escalation of emotion as a view from this heartbroken community turned to violence against the police. and they did so based on what was at the time a rumour. piece by piece, cctv we've gathered have shown how police were following the boys in the minutes before their death. the police van turns away here because bollards block the end of the road, and it was only a few hundred metres further that they died. it wasn't until almost a8 hours later that south wales police confirmed its officers had been following the teenagers but refused to answer why they did so in a press conference on wednesday, citing an ongoing independent office for police conduct investigation. have you got faith and trust in the police and south wales police in general?

no, i've got faith and trust in my family and this community that we will continue to fight and get the truth out there, and we will getjustice for these boys. as in the investigation into south wales police's actions continues, a community struggling with loss still wait for answers. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. ukraine's most senior security official has said his country is ready to launch its long—awaited counter—offensive against russian forces. in a rare interview, 0leksiy danilov told the bbc the planned assault was a 'historic opportunity�*. he was speaking to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, who joins us now from kyiv. james — what did we learn from this interview?

it seems like we have been discussing is a long time but it has been training trips, ukraine, and building stockpiles of ammunition and been taking delivery of all the tanks from the west. but everyone is expecting that at some point this will come, we don't know yet when it inevitably when we sat down with 0leksiy danilov, possibly the most senior security official, a man who is at the heart of president zelensky�*s war cabinet. it is inevitable we would discuss the circumstances around this counteroffensive and this is what he said. it counteroffensive and this is what he said. . ., counteroffensive and this is what he said. ., , , ., ., ., said. it could happen tomorrow, the da after said. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow _ said. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or _ said. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in _ said. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a _ said. it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week. i day after tomorrow or in a week. translation: it would be strange if i were _ translation: it would be strange if i were to _ translation: it would be strange if i were to name dates for the start of that_ i were to name dates for the start of that or— i were to name dates for the start of that or another event. that cannot— of that or another event. that cannot be _ of that or another event. that cannot be done. but of that or another event. that cannot be done.— of that or another event. that

it is to be successful, will have change that reality and it might not be quick, it might take some time. but what mr danilov is saying is they are reaching the point now where they are ready to go. james comer thank _ where they are ready to go. james comer thank you _ where they are ready to go. james comer thank you very _ where they are ready to go. james comer thank you very much. i police have released new cctv footage in connection with the attempted murder of a senior police officer in county tyrone. three vehicles believed to be used by the gunmen were spotted travelling in convoy hours before the attack. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was shot multiple times at a sports centre in 0magh in february. 11 people have been arrested. police in carlisle are searching for a boy who has gone missing in the river eden. emergency services were called last night after four teenage boys were reported to have got into difficulty in the river. two were rescued safely, while one was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition — a 15—year—old boy still remains missing. the post office has apologised

for using racist terms to describe sub—postmasters wrongly investigated as part of the horizon computer scandal. the faulty it system led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions for theft and false accounting over 15 years. the papers show fraud investigators were asked to group suspects based on racial features. borisjohnson has insisted that there is nothing in his diary from when he was prime minister that showed further rule breaking during the covid pandemic. cabinet office officials referred mrjohnson to the police after a review of documents for the covid inquiry. in his first public comments, he said that was "absurd" and denied that any of the entries referred to socialising. here's our political correspondent, leila nathoo. borisjohnson's behaviour during the pandemic is once again under scrutiny. a review of his ministerial diary as part of preparation for the covid inquiry prompted officials to alert police to potential further breaches of restrictions, in addition to those already established. the cabinet office said they'd been obliged to disclose the documents under the civil service code

but in his first public comments on the matter to sky news, mrjohnson insisted his diary entries did not show any rule breaking. there are tens of thousands of entries in the prime ministerial diary. i've never seen these things before, i mean, like, i've looked through it. none of them constitute a breach of the rules during covid — they weren't during lockdown, they were during other periods of the restrictions. none of them constitute a breach of rules, none of them involve socialising, it is total nonsense. police are now considering their next steps. a commons committee looking into whether mrjohnson misled parliament over covid rule—breaking was also notified of the potential breaches. it's now waiting for his official response to the latest claims. leila nathoo, bbc news. one image for you this morning.

across the south—eastern part of the usa and into the caribbean as well. it has been pretty wet. i'm not that surprised to see pictures like that, dramatic nonetheless. back home, well, look at the seaview i have found, a completely different story here for this watcher in east yorkshire. a much calmer start of the day, some spells of sunshine overhead that really sets us up for the bank holiday weekend which is going to be driver most of us with some spells warm sunshine. what is going on, you can see a lot of clear sky here on our earlier satellite image but we have this stripe of card up to what mcleod up towards scotland. this is today's fly in the rent which will bring a bit of patchy rain and it is quite windy in the north of scotland. southern and eastern scotland should hold onto some sunny spells and northern ireland, a lot of cloud on the north coast and some of it will spread inland. could be the odd shower here. england and wales, most places fine and a bit of cloud close to the east coast where it will at times be on the cool side. highest damages

further west up to around 22 degrees it will feel pleasant in the strong sunshine with high uv levels for many so if you are out for any length of time, do protect yourself. the sun is pretty much approaching its strongest time in the year and then as we head through the night, we will see this little black —— band of cloud working south with the odd mist patch. one or two places getting down to freezing further south it will not be a cold as that. the reason for all this settled weather, it is high—pressure and the area has been with us for a few days now and i have to say it is set to stay with us. we do have one weak weather front providing a little bit of cloud through the day on sunday are particularly for eastern parts of england i think and conversely it should be a brighter day across the north—west of scotland. you can see the wind arrows, is going to be windy across some south—eastern parts and that will fill a little bit on the cool side. generally north sea coasts, 22 for cardiff and

maybe 23 in plymouth. western parts have the highest temperatures. the same story on monday. it will be western parts we have shelter from the breeze and the sunniest and the warmest of the conditions up to around 20 and maybe 21 degrees. always a little bit cooler for some of the eastern coasts. but broadly speaking, for a bank holiday weekend it is not looking too bad. as i mentioned, ourarea it is not looking too bad. as i mentioned, our area of high pressure is here to stay. a little bit breezy on the southern flank of the high but we are looking at are mainly fine weather with some spells of sunshine and actually from mid week onwards a little bit warmer and temperatures into the middle 20s celsius was up many of us really have no rain on the horizon. back to u2. �* ., �* have no rain on the horizon. back to u2. banks, ben, thanks for the exnertise- _ it is 7:16am. this is a distressing story, to warn you, but a couple

have been jailed for the story, to warn you, but a couple have beenjailed for the murder of the ten—month—old son just weeks after he was placed back in their care. finley boden died on christmas day in 2020 after suffering more than 100 injuries at the hands of his parents, stephen boden and shannon marsden. you may find the details in rob sissons' report distressing. once a happy, smiling baby, finley died on christmas day 2020, during the pandemic. he enjoyed 130 injuries in squalid conditions. his parents were more concerned about drugs than him. sentencing them, the judge ordered stephen boden, 30, to serve a minimum 29 years in prison. 22—year—old shannon marsden at least 27 years. 22-year-old shannon marsden at least 27 ears. ., , ., ,~ ., 27 years. you deliberately chose to do nothina 27 years. you deliberately chose to do nothing which _ 27 years. you deliberately chose to do nothing which meant _ 27 years. you deliberately chose to do nothing which meant finley - do nothing which meant finley suffered and died. neither of you have showed any remorse at all for what you have done.— what you have done. safeguarding concerns meant _

an independent investigation will now look at all aspects of the case. rob sissons, bbc news. we're joined now by anne longfield, the former children's commissioner for england. i don't shy away from some of the awful details because it is important that that is recognised and remembered. this was a child who had suffered 130 injuries, including a fractured thigh, broken pelvis, burn most, and 78 bruises. something went wrong with the decisions made about his care. what went wrong? terrible injuries. 57 bone breakages. and heartbreaking to hear

this. it was tough listening to the sentencing statements yesterday. so here is a little boy who from the start, you know, authorities had real concerns about his well being. the parents were — had been using cannabis, it was said, since nine and ten years old, heavy cannabis users. there was domestic violence in the home and come again, had been in the home and come again, had been in many of their lives and convictions for the father with that. the home was said to be squalid — to resemble squalor, with faeces on the floor. in the child was taken out of their care. of course, the right decision. but it was when the application to get him back home was made that things started to go wrong. social services wanted longer. the children's family

court thought it could be done swifter and there you have the judge's remarks that these were accomplished liars that set out to dupe everyone, and cover it up. but this was during covid and everyone was in deep shock about what that meant. many decisions were made through screens or by telephones, which gave opportunities to these parents who wished to deceive everyone. parents who wished to deceive everyone-— parents who wished to deceive eve one. ~ , , everyone. and this is something you were deeply — everyone. and this is something you were deeply worried _ everyone. and this is something you were deeply worried about _ everyone. and this is something you were deeply worried about at - everyone. and this is something you were deeply worried about at the - were deeply worried about at the time and you had raised concerns about the way decisions were being taken under covid conditions. but nothing was done about it. does that call into question the power of the children's commissioners because it is your position to be an advocate for children who are vulnerable. advocacy, and there was a judicial review undertaken and the decision was that they back the government public decision at that time. ——

children's commissioner. given the range of circumstances. but they said the children's commissioner post should have been consulted. i think what it means is that when we look at the enquiry, baroness haliti's enquiry into covid—19 and the response to covid, we need to understand the impact of the decisions on very vulnerable children. when they are out of sight and there aren't the eyes and ears of professionals around who are able to not only make decisions, but also understand what is going on, that is a vulnerable situation. and looking at photographs, using a screen, can only get you so far. you need to be in rooms and have to be able to, you know, pick up the circumstances of what is going on and look around corners. ., y what is going on and look around corners. ., , , . . corners. the worry is we have had reviews in — corners. the worry is we have had reviews in other _

needs to be yet one more prompt that this is very urgent for government to act. �* ., ., to act. and long field, former children's _ commissioner, many thanks. saturday mornin: , commissioner, many thanks. saturday morning. and — commissioner, many thanks. saturday morning. and it _ commissioner, many thanks. saturday morning, and it is _ commissioner, many thanks. saturday morning, and it is 7:23am. _ commissioner, many thanks. saturday morning, and it is 7:23am. let's - morning, and it is 7:23am. let's turn our attention to liveable. it is hosting a range of events to mark the 80th anniversary of the battle of the atlantic — one of the longest and most important battles of the second world war. tens of thousands of royal navy and merchant sailors set sail from the city, risking their lives to bring vital supplies to wartime britain. our reporter sarah rogers is aboard hms defenderfor us this morning. a beautiful day for it. what will be happening today? it is a beautiful day for it. what will be happening today?— happening today? it is a great day for it. welcome _ happening today? it is a great day for it. welcome aboard _ happening today? it is a great day for it. welcome aboard the - happening today? it is a great day for it. welcome aboard the hms l for it. welcome aboard the hms defender. we have britannia behind us. this is the flight deck, the quarters are below. if you are here earlier you would have heard the whistle waking everybody up. it is also a helipad here. i can introduce you to the wildcat which will talk

gives, it shows in football anything can happen. allen it sounds like a team talk that you give just before the match! people might wake up this morning knowing today is going to be a life changing day, it is huge! it's a huge day for both luton town and coventry city — one of those teams will end the day with a place in the premier league. both teams have really punched above their weight in the championship this season and now all that remains is to see who comes out on top when the teams meet at wembley in the championship play—off final. joe lynskey looks ahead. isa is a match thatjust guides two teams destination. shaping the future of luton town and coventry city. by the end, one of them will reach the top flight. they have both been there before but both return journeys have gone the long way. commentator: kameko coventry city, heading down to the first division. 21 years ago, coventry city said they will be back. instead they fell

through three divisions to the cusp of the top flight. last time luton were there it was 1992. they went down just before the riches of the trip from your legal rebrand. now the price to get there is £170 million and for a club like this, that would change everything. it would be life changing for the football club and for many of us. we honestly want to move up in the not—too—distant future and not too far away. not—too—distant future and not too faraway. it not—too—distant future and not too far away. it would help with that. it is an older ground, has fantastic history and we are unbelievably proud of it. to think about a couple of premier league town —— teams coming here, it would be amazing for both of us. in league two, that year, the clubs were promoted and the path to this match was set. for both of them to be here is already in rear geordan murray stop now they look to take —— already extraordinary. now they look to take one more leap. what a story.

partick thistle, are one match away from the scottish premiership play off final, after beating ayr united 5—0 and 8—0 on aggregate. ayr were already a goal down at somerset park, when their striker, dipo akinyemi, was sent off for this reaction, to his tussle with aaron muirhead. partick added another four goals, with kevin holt completing the victory. they'll face the team that finishes 11th in the premiership, for a place in the top flight next season. that team will be ross county or kilmarnock. they play each other tomorrow. the women's super league title will be decided later. at the end of a season that has been its most competitive and most keenly followed. chelsea go to reading knowing a win will secure a fourth successive title, ahead of second—placed manchester united. jo currie looks ahead. it's been a women's super league season like no other.— season like no other. what are qualities! _ season like no other. what are qualities! at — season like no other. what are qualities! at the _ season like no other. what are qualities! at the top _ season like no other. what are qualities! at the top of - season like no other. what are qualities! at the top of the - season like no other. what are i qualities! at the top of the month for teams were _ qualities! at the top of the month for teams were just _ qualities! at the top of the month for teams were just in _ qualities! at the top of the month for teams were just in the - qualities! at the top of the month for teams were just in the hunt i qualities! at the top of the month | for teams were just in the hunt but now it is down to just to hunting it out on the final day. chelsea and manchester united. will it has been

a thrilling season, probably our most competitive yet. the battle of the title is gone to the top of the wire and has been compelling and the battles of the top three champions league spots with manchester united breaking in and that has meant one of the big guns of women's football won't make the champions league that has been entertaining as well. united are two points behind chelsea and play their final game at liverpool. they will need a win and hope chelsea slip up if they are to claim their first ever piece of major silverware. claim their first ever piece of majorsilverware. even claim their first ever piece of major silverware. even if they finish second, however, it will still be a momentous season for the team which was only created in 2018. of course a massive success stop we have broken in two or three that had not been broken into before. we have created records that are fantastic, so look, it is a huge success but thatis so look, it is a huge success but that is hard to say because we still want more so we still want to win titles and we still want to win cups and compete in champions league 's

so fast, it is a start. if and compete in champions league 's so fast, it is a start.— so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if — so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if they _ so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if they will _ so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if they will do _ so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if they will do it - so fast, it is a start. if they were to do it if they will do it here - to do it if they will do it here against bottom side reading. it will be a remarkable title, the seventh in nine years. arsenal women are arguably the most successful team in england. a time when no other teams were heavily investing in their women setup. now many sides work of multi—million pound budgets meaning winning silverware is now far harder. ! winning silverware is now far harder. ~' , ,., , harder. i think when everybody invests a level _ harder. i think when everybody invests a level of _ harder. i think when everybody invests a level of money - harder. i think when everybody invests a level of money and i invests a level of money and finance, and has players that are top professionals, inevitably there is going to be a closing of the gap. i think the difference this year is probably being that more teams have been at higher level.—

been at higher level. chelsea can com ete been at higher level. chelsea can compete an _ been at higher level. chelsea can compete an impressive _ been at higher level. chelsea can compete an impressive double i been at higher level. chelsea can i compete an impressive double this weekend while tonight fans are ever hopeful and have everything crossed that there is still one twist left in this ever changing title race. next to the climax of rugby union's premiership at twickenham later today. the regular season started with 13 teams and ended with 11 — after wasps and worcester warriors entered administration — and now the two best sides, clash in the showpiece event. sale sharks, against saracens who are looking for their sixth title, and redemption, after last season's defeat to leicester tigers. it isa it is a spectacular story. you cannot question what they're doing within that infrastructure because not many teams would come through the adversity that team has been through, granted, yes they have a team full of superstars are to be able to retain them when you've been

relegated into the championship and come under so much scrutiny to then go back and bounce back and go under the run that they have, get into a final last year and lose out to leicester, in such a close encounter game and sent back it up the following year, to be in another final and potentially in the history books and would be one of the greatest teams in the league, it is a special story. for sale, its theirfirst final since 2006 — it's also the first time since then, that a club from the north of england, has been in the showpiece game. fly half george ford, says he hopes, it could provide, inspiration. hopefully a lot, yeah. i think it's just the semi—final, the atmosphere and the enjoyment people had from that game was unbelievable. and that's what we want to do. one of our reasons why is to inspire people up here, to make them proud of this rugby team, make them want to come and watch us — watch a winning team but an entertaining team at the same time. so yeah, hopefully it inspires the next generation to come through and watch us

and hopefully carry on playing. we all know how much hype, there can be around boxing — but this autumn we mightjust finally, get the fight, that's been talked about for years. that's if the world heavyweight champion tyson fury gets his way. the wbc champion, says he has sent a contract, to fellow british heavyweight, and two—time, world champion anthonyjoshua, for a fight at wembley in september. in a post on social media overnight, fury says: "it's a fight everyone wants to see, including myself. come on aj, let's give the world what they want to see." watch this space for ajay�*s reaction. thejockey club has won a high court injunction, to prevent animal rights protesters disrupting the derby festival next week with the epsom owner, saying one group has made it "explicitly clear" it

intends to breach security. the injunction bans people, from entering or throwing objects on the race track, entering the parade ring, and any other action, that could disrupt proceedings. last month protesters, delayed the start of the grand national, while also trying to interfere, with the scottish grand national the following week. they have accepted a place for legal protest about the race and we've got no problem at all with that and that should be the route through which they base these concerns, not through a legal protest. —— illegal protest. in rugby league, just one game this weekend, as salford red devils take on hull fc, tomorrow, after a bumper night of action yesterday. leeds rhinos vs st helens had it all with the rhinos ahead for the whole match until right near the end, when saints pulled level, and then clinched victory courtesy of a golden point, scored by lewis dodd in the 89th minute. so cruel that on the home side. elsewhere there were wins for catalan dragons, huddersfield giants and leigh leopards, who beat top of the table warrington, in the upset of the night. lewis hamilton says he "felt

the improvements" of his upgraded mercedes car, after finishing sixth fastest, in practice for this weekend's monaco grand prix. red bull's max verstappen, set the pace ahead, of the ferraris of charles leclerc, and carlos sainz. mercedes have struggled this season, and as a result have made several changes, including new front suspension, sidepods and floor changes. to build and design and develop a car is not an easy thing and everyone's put so much time in, so many hours of hard work to have us here today. i'm glad that we are able to keep it on track for them and i think we have a lot of data stop it is not the place to ultimately test an upgrade but the car was generally feeling good. it was a shame we won't as close as we had hoped at the end of the session but definitely felt the improvements. fits but definitely felt the improvements.- but definitely felt the improvements. but definitely felt the imrovements. �* , ., but definitely felt the imrovements. . , ., , ., improvements. as it will do if you take our improvements. as it will do if you take your car _ improvements. as it will do if you take your car into _ improvements. as it will do if you take your car into a _ improvements. as it will do if you take your car into a service, - take your car into a service, really. i mean, a bit more of —— than a service.

it could be a historic weekend in cycling, with a first giro d'italia crown, within touching distance now, for britain's geraint thomas. today it's an eleven and a half mile time trial, which might sound easy, but the second half, is a steep uphill ride to the finish. thomas will have a 26 second buffer, over his rival primoz roglic. they battled each other on the final climb of yesterday's stage with the slovenian finishing in fourth place, three seconds clear of the welshman. he can all but wrap up the win, today and then its into rome, for the final stage tomorrow, when he could become the oldest winner of the race at 37. that he has pointed out anything can happen on the time trials. no drama, no falls. if he avoids all that then we should be seeing his first giro d'italia win. it we should be seeing his first giro d'ltalia win-—

up at the moment stop a stripe of cloud up towards the north—west and that is where we have to fly in the ointment today. patchy rain and northern ireland seeing some areas of cloud. the best of the temperatures in western parts up to around 22 degrees. as we head through this evening and tonight, some areas of cloud pushing places. clear, starry skies overhead and getting chilly in parts of the highlands. further south not as cold as that. in many ways a repeat performance. some areas of cloudiness eastern parts conversely the north—west of scotland should have a brighter day and some quite brisk winds. that will take, plymouth, 23 that will have the warmest conditions. a quick look ahead up monday. some spells of

sunshine and keen breeze down towards the south. cooler for many without towards the west, glasgow seeing highs of 21 degrees. that is how it is looking. probably the most important story of the day, so brace yourselves. britain's ice cream sellers have got 99 problems — and chocolate flakes being too crumbly is at the top of the list. they say the quality of the chocolate has plummeted since production switched to egypt. our reporter kevin shoesmith went to investigate. good morning to you all. this man has 99 problems. they are his top

disgrace, putting only by that is context of why he had previously been such a famous figure in britain and to some extent further abroad. and so we did give that a lot of thought. we didn't lead on it or headline it. we played at relatively low down on our bulletins. and we felt we got the balance right between dealing with the disgrace and then giving context about his previous career.— previous career. interesting what ou said previous career. interesting what you said about — previous career. interesting what you said about not _ previous career. interesting what you said about not headlining i previous career. interesting what you said about not headlining or| you said about not headlining or meeting with it. in later cases such as phil specter, rolf harris, and jimmy savile, is there a revised bbc policy now on how you report the prior entertainment career of convicted abuses? i prior entertainment career of convicted abuses?— prior entertainment career of convicted abuses? i wouldn't say there is a policy, _ convicted abuses? i wouldn't say there is a policy, but _ convicted abuses? i wouldn't say there is a policy, but with - convicted abuses? i wouldn't say there is a policy, but with all - there is a policy, but with all stories there are judges to be made makejudgements to be stories there are judges to be made make judgements to be we have stories there are judges to be made makejudgements to be we have more time to make a judgement here. suddenly you are into the coverage immediately and you hope you have

prepared material. in this case we did have the time to think about it and we thought it was important that we really emphasised the crimes that he had committed on the fact that he was imprisoned for them. and so that was imprisoned for them. and so that was a different situation to some others we have encountered. there is also a perception _ others we have encountered. there is also a perception we _ others we have encountered. there is also a perception we heard _ others we have encountered. there is also a perception we heard there - also a perception we heard there amongst some viewers who say there has been a dumbing down. why so little coverage of the death of mud neighbours, compared to philip schofield losing a job? i neighbours, compared to philip schofield losing a job?- schofield losing a 'ob? i don't think it is h schofield losing a 'ob? i don't think it is right _ schofield losing a 'ob? i don't think it is right to _ schofield losing ajob? i don't think it is right to say - schofield losing ajob? i don't think it is right to say that i schofield losing a job? i don't i think it is right to say that there was limited coverage. the story broke on — some of it depends on when the stories break. that broke suddenly on a saturday evening. we lead the radio news with it. i'm talking about martin amis. it was in the headlights of the tv news. i think we did get a prominence. it was headline news. so i would push

back on the idea that we didn't give it a kind of reasonable amount of coverage. it a kind of reasonable amount of coverate. . . ,., , coverage. tina turner also died this week and again _ coverage. tina turner also died this week and again we _ coverage. tina turner also died this week and again we saw _ coverage. tina turner also died this week and again we saw one - coverage. tina turner also died this week and again we saw one viewerl week and again we saw one viewer thinking it should have been a political story taking the lead. i wonder how much time you do allocate to such deaths?— to such deaths? there are lots of factors involved _ to such deaths? there are lots of factors involved and _ to such deaths? there are lots of factors involved and being - to such deaths? there are lots ofj factors involved and being invited to discuss it here is a good chance to discuss it here is a good chance to reflect on some of the things that go into it. there is the timing of the death, the same, the material that you have available — there are a big set of variables along with what other news there is and so on. so tina turner's death — news of her death broke in the middle to late evening, so that was new news to our audiences by ten o'clock. these factors go into decision—making but it is also old—fashioned news

it“s saturday the 27th of may. our main story. phillip schofield has resigned from itv after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague at this morning. in a statement, mr schofield said he had lied about the relationship to the network, as well as to his agents, lawyers and family. he said the relationship was "unwise, but not illegal". itv said it felt deeply disappointed by what it called his admissions of deceit. simonjones reports. welcome back. i'm holding the fort. holly's had to leave a bit early today because she is meeting his majesty the king. in the space ofjust a week, he's gone from being one of itv“s biggest stars to seeing his career in ruins. as holly said on stage, we never take it for granted. never, ever, ever. phillip schofield has admitted he lied to colleagues, his employers, the media and the public about a relationship with a man whom he'd first met when the man was a teenager,

helping him to get into television. after the man started to work on this morning, it became more than just the friendship. in a statement to the daily mail, phillip schofield said... he said he hadn't been truthful because he had wanted to protect the man. that's all coming up. he insisted his decision last week to leave this morning was unrelated to the deceit. it's been widely reported there had been an off—air rift between him and his co—presenter, holly willoughby. this probably is the end of phillip schofield's careerfor the moment. i mean, if he has not been truthful with people and he's lied to everybody he said he's lied to, that's over. you need integrity, ithink, to present the type of television phillip schofield is known for.

we've got all the buttons here, shall we try pressing them all? ok, run vt! he's been a face on tv since the 1980s. in recent years, a presenter of some of itv“s biggest shows. next tonight, it's the award for... he had been due to host the british soap awards next weekend. and he and holly willoughby had presented dancing on ice together. but he's now quit the network. this morning is filmed here at television centre. in a statement, itv said it was deeply disappointed by what it called the admissions of deceit by phillip schofield. it said, "phillip made assurances to us, which he now acknowledges were untrue. we feel badly let down." this week began with phillip schofield's colleagues marking his departure from this morning. now we can't start today's show without paying tribute to the man who spent the last two decades sitting on this morning sofa, phillip schofield. the week ends with a dramatic fall from grace. simon jones, bbc news.

the family of one of the two boys who were killed in an e—bike crash in cardiff have told the bbc that they will fight to get to the truth of what happened. the deaths of 16—year old kyrees sullivan and 15—year old harvey evans sparked a riot in the city's ely suburb but the circumstances behind the accident remain unclear. our wales correspondent tomos morgan has this report. around a thousand friends and family came together to celebrate last night. two teenagers whose favorite colour was blue. 15—year—old harvey evans and 16—year—old kyrees sullivan died on this same street on monday. it doesn't seem real. it hasn't, i don't think it's sunk in with any of us yet. i don't think we'll ever get used to the idea of not having harvey here.

we'll never get used to it. it's a massive part of our life gone. he... he was amazing, you know? for the first time since his death, harvey's family has spoken exclusively to the bbc about what's happened and how they were kept waiting for news. we were all stood at that barrier for over two hours and we were begging, begging. "please tell us if they're alive or dead." we were begging them. i had hold of my sister and we were begging and they wouldn't tell us nothing. and then someone ran into the crowd with their phone and said, "i've got a video. i've got a video of the police chasing them." and that is what started it. what happened next was an escalation of emotion, as a few from this heartbroken community turned to violence against the police. and they did so based on what was, at the time, a rumour. but piece by piece, cctv we've gathered has shown how police were following the boys in the minutes before their death. the police van turns away here because bollards block the end of the road and it was only a few hundred metres further that they died. it wasn't until almost 48 hours later that south wales police confirmed its officers had been

following the teenagers but refused to answer why they did so in a press conference on wednesday, citing an ongoing independent office for police conduct investigation. have you got faith and trust in the police and south wales police in general? no, i've got faith and trust in my family and this community that we will continue to fight and get the truth out there and we will get justice for these boys. as the investigation into south wales police's actions continues, a community struggling with loss still wait for answers. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. police in carlisle are searching for a boy who has gone missing in the river eden. emergency services were called last night after four teenage boys were reported to have got into difficulty in the river. two were rescued safely, while one was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition. a 15—year—old boy still remains missing. ukraine's most senior security official has said his country is ready to launch its

long—awaited counter—offensive against russian forces. in a rare interview, oleksiy danilov told the bbc the planned assault was a "historic opportunity". he was speaking to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale who is in kyiv. ukraine has been preparing for this offensive four months, it's been building up stocks of ammunition, training troops, taking delivery of missiles and tanks, so inevitably when we sat down with mr danilov to discuss the situation here in kyiv and around the rest of the country, it is inevitable that we would talk about the circumstances around when this offensive will begin. this is what he said stop it could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in a week. it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in a week. ., , , . in a week. it would be strange if i were to name _ in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates _ in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates all— in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates all the - in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates all the starts| were to name dates all the starts that or— were to name dates all the starts that or another event. that cannot be done _ that or another event. that cannot be done. �* ,, �* that or another event. that cannot be done. �* i. �* . j be done. but you're ready?

what is an effective deadlock across the country. and that is what is making officials here really quite nervous. the post office has apologised for using racist terms to describe sub—postmasters wrongly investigated as part of the horizon computer scandal. the faulty it system led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions for theft and false accounting over 15 years. the papers show fraud investigators were asked to group suspects based on racial features. motorists have been delayed this morning at the port of dover due to it issues at french border controls. heavy traffic was reported on roads, with some passengers saying that they'd been stuck for around an hour in their cars with little or no movement. officials said the it problem have now been been fixed, but it may take time to clear the backlog. borisjohnson has insisted that there is nothing in his diary from when he was prime minister that showed further rule breaking during the covid pandemic. cabinet office officials referred mrjohnson to the police after a review of documents

for the covid inquiry. in his first public comments, he denied that any of the entries referred to socialising. i've never seen these things before. i've looked through it. none of them constitute a breach of the rules during, during, covid, during... they weren't during lockdown. they were during other periods of the of the restrictions. none of them constitute a breach of the rules. none of them involve socialising. clean up operations are under way in spain after torrential rain caused widespread damage. earlier in the week, schools and universities across the country were shut down as a precaution after houses became flooded and cars submerged. while the rain caused chaos, it was also welcomed by many in spain after a prolonged drought. so, the weather, not great in parts of the continent at the moment. but lookint of the continent at the moment. but looking really nice back for half

term. we are keeping an eye on what is happening at dover because there were concerns we could see repeats of the scenes we have seen previously over a big bank holiday half term break with lots of queues, at the moment it looks like the issues are limited but we will keep on and make sure that you are up to with everything happening down there. hf with everything happening down there. , ., . with everything happening down there. . , there. if you are staying in the uk, there. if you are staying in the uk, there are lots _ there. if you are staying in the uk, there are lots of _ there. if you are staying in the uk, there are lots of sporting - there. if you are staying in the uk, there are lots of sporting events i there. if you are staying in the uk, | there are lots of sporting events on over the weekend, a bank holiday as well, lots of people interested in what you have got to say this morning, ben, they always are, but may be more than normal! of course they are, always! may be more than normal! of course they are. always!— they are, always! obviously! but this weekend _ they are, always! obviously! but this weekend more _ they are, always! obviously! but this weekend more than - they are, always! obviously! but this weekend more than many. i they are, always! obviously! but i this weekend more than many. and they are, always! obviously! but - this weekend more than many. and you were saying the poor weather in southern europe, probably our shores are the best places to be with plenty of sunshine over hair. —— overhead. it will stay dry for most of us and i will show you what is happening this morning on the early satellite picture. some areas of cloud in eastern parts of england, but this cloud is growing into

northern ireland and northern scotland where we see a few splashes of rain possibly at times and it will be windy in the far north of scotland. southern and eastern scotland. southern and eastern scotland and northern ireland should see some spells of sunshine, many parts of england and wales in the cloud will melt away, best of the sunshine likely to be in western plants along with the highest of the temperatures. 22 degrees in cardiff. this evening and overnight we are going to see some areas of cloud pushing south, but if you are out and about during daylight hours, high uv levels. as soon as the sun goes down, it will get on the chilly side for some of us particularly across scotland. in the highlands, some places will get down to freezing. furthersouth some places will get down to freezing. further south not as cold, six to 10 degrees. heading into sunday, more of the same, because of high pressure which is firmly in charge at the moment and will stay in charge for quite a few days. a

weak weather front here will bring a bit more cloud into eastern counties for a time, conversely the north—west of scotland should have a brighter day tomorrow. what as windy in the north of scotland tomorrow. it will be windy in the south—east corner which will take the edge off things particularly on the coasts, east anglia, yorkshire, lincolnshire, may be 22 degrees and 23 in the south—west. bank holiday monday, areas of cloud pushing west but good spells of sunshine. cooler air in a place for some so temperatures are slightly lower but up temperatures are slightly lower but up to 20, 21 in glasgow. the area of high pressure is going to stay with us for quite a few days yet. we are looking at quite a lengthy spell of dry weather with some spells of sunshine. temperatures look to climb if anything, through the second half of the week it could be that some places to see temperatures up to

about 24, 20 5 degrees. looking like about 24, 20 5 degrees. looking like a dry week for the vast majority. it could be that across southern parts we could see some showers by thursday or friday. that's a long way off, we have got a lot of fine and dry weather to come between now and dry weather to come between now and then. millions of children are heading into the half—term break this week but the cost of keeping them fed is putting extra financial pressure on many families. joan cummins has been to see how one food bank in tamworth is helping make sure children don't go hungry during the holidays. the site of impromptu food banks is one that we've become increasingly accustomed to. this one, organised by the heart of tamworth charity, is ensuring that hundreds of bags of food are sent to schools in the tamworth area before children break up for half term. if you've got rent or a mortgage to pay, you've got increased utility bills, other pressures on cost of living, when your children aren't

getting a breakfast meal or free school lunch, actually, it poses some additional pressures on the sort of household budget. £10,000 worth of non—perishable food has been donated by the tamworth co—op, which will be shared around 40 primary schools. you only need to look at social media that can be found on community pages, people asking for help to feed their children. "my benefits haven't come in" or "work hasn't paid me" or "i need to do this" or "something's broken, i can't afford to pay for my food, can anybody help me?" abington heath primary knows that the food delivered to them will help their entire school community. half the pupils take advantage of a free breakfast club. and regardless of school holidays, children who need it will continue to be fed. that will help those families all through the week when they're not getting their free school meals and their breakfast club entitlement.

but even during school closures, when the children weren't getting their free school meals, we would do breakfast club deliveries to their home. so they would have their breakfast food, their school lunches each week, either as a voucher or as a hamper. every week, the school will allow parents to come and help themselves to donated food. but i've also been told of some schools where they've set up washing stations where parents can bring in their washing and avoid the high price of electricity and washing powder. last year, every pupil was given a free pair of school shoes. the school's motto is that learning is an adventure, and like many schools across the region, it ensures that lessons for life extend well beyond the playgrounds. joan cummins, bbc news. joining us now are ema wilkes from “neo community“, a charity which provides local communities with food assistance along with primary school teacher, emily morris.

good morning, emily and ema. give us an idea of the kind of support to try and give families during these holiday periods.— holiday periods. during the three ma'or holiday periods. during the three major holiday _ holiday periods. during the three major holiday periods, _ holiday periods. during the three major holiday periods, summer, | major holiday periods, summer, committees and winter, we work with the community and a holiday activities and food fund, that is dfu funded and make sure our children have access to food over the holidays, activities, and a safe place to be and that is run by our school stuff. so our school doors are open we have got food for our families so we are able to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, healthy snacks, nutritious meals so we know our children are fed. we are coming up our children are fed. we are coming up to half term holidays and we don't receive funding during half term, so we make use of social supermarket in school, we make sure our families supermarket in school, we make sure ourfamilies have supermarket in school, we make sure our families have access to food if they need it and safe spaces, but it is not funded currently. so there is a gap where we know that our

children at the moment when we are in school, we give them a breakfast and free school meal if they get one, and another hot cooked meal after school. one, and another hot cooked meal afterschool. if one, and another hot cooked meal after school. if we don't see our children over the half term holidays, are they being fed, that is the fear. 50 holidays, are they being fed, that is the fear-— holidays, are they being fed, that is the fear. , ., , , . is the fear. so people understand, monday the _ is the fear. so people understand, monday the bank _ is the fear. so people understand, monday the bank holiday, - is the fear. so people understand, monday the bank holiday, you - is the fear. so people understand, monday the bank holiday, you say| monday the bank holiday, you say your doors are open? so what happens, there is food in the school and people can come? irate happens, there is food in the school and people can come?— and people can come? we have a social supermarket, _ and people can come? we have a social supermarket, a _ and people can come? we have a social supermarket, a family - and people can come? we have a i social supermarket, a family centre in our school, so the back of the school we have adapted so it is a space for the community. we offer a social supermarket in there, it is pay as you feel. there are no set prices. we offer some fresh food in there, but often it is ambient food, shelter goods. that's the work that we do with neo community. 50 shelter goods. that's the work that we do with neo community. so how many people _ we do with neo community. so how many people need _ we do with neo community. so how many people need this _ we do with neo community. so how many people need this service? - we do with neo community. so how| many people need this service? just ourselves, many people need this service? just ourselves, we have supported 56,000

it's just a jump to the left. # and step to the right. with your hands on your hips. # and bend your knees in time. why has this show lasted? all the songs are great, it's witty, it's fun, it's sexy, it includes bisexual, transsexual, cross dressing, homosexual, the whole god damn shebang. people actually felt really liberated. they realised that there was something there that other people felt the way they felt. i won't go as far as to say it changed my life but it certainly pushed me towards things that i possibly wouldn't have explored. and i'll leave that at that. and i will tell you, so many fans told me how not only it changed their lives, it saved their lives. nell went on to reprise her role in the 1975 film version. # let's do the time warp again.

the time warp, how do you feel about that 50 years on? ever get bored of it? i was bored of it in this play. i mean it was great that richard wrote, because i was a tap dancer. yeah, yeah. he gave me that tap solo. oh, i dined out on that. we used to do it in the finale, i couldn't do it. i was a rubbish dancer and a rubbish singer. i hope i wasn't a rubbish actor! # let's do the time warp again. time to introduce them to current cast member christian. he plays riffraff, the hunchback butler, and holds the record for appearances in the show. i've never met anyone who is more rocky horror than i am. _ how many times have you performed it? at this point abouti 2400 and counting. did you ever set out to do that? no, i set out to do it once! oh, here we go.

welcome to backstage of rocky horror. - christian then gave us a behind the stage tour of the peacock theatre in london where the rocky horror is currently on. i've always wanted to do this! i'm born! there is a lot, a lot of costumes. corsets, suspenders. this is inside _ franknfurter's castle and his mansion, this is where a lot of the action happens. - not my role, but... and how does this bed fit into the show? well, you know how i said the action happens at the stage? _ i was a bit wrong, it actually happens in| the bed, of course. # i remember doing the time warp. the rocky horror show was written by richard o'brien. he was also the original riffraff, both onstage and in the film. he's now 81. speaking from new zealand, he expressed his delight at the rocky horror turning 50. the longevity of rocky has always been a mystery. because it really is

a piece ofjuvenilia. a childish piece ofjuvenilia. it's strange that something that was so subversive at the time is now such a british institution. it's a bit like, it is benign as the wombles isn't it, in many ways? # i'm just a sweet transvestite # from transsexual transylvania! the rocky horror may have been ground—breaking, with its celebration of gender and sexuality, however, the show“s creator believes the current climate makes it very hard to contribute to debates surrounding trans issues. i try not to involve myself in them any more because no matter what you say, you're going to upset somebody. the reality is, just to be happy. you've climbed a mountain, now you've got there, don't start looking around and finding reasons to make yourself unhappy. you know, feel liberated by the journey. and have joy in your life.

and for rocky horror fans, it's clearjust how much joy the show still brings. just a great excuse to come up, dress up, have a good day up. we came on the train with it underneath, stealthing, it's called stealthing. the beauty, it's edginess, the gender blending of it, | it's just completely talking to my soul. j it's essentially the transgressive nature of it all but also it's a lot of fun. how do you choose which fruits to have each night? i chose it. a tombola. # lets do the time warp again. the rocky horror, 50 years have passed in the blink of a time warp. colin patterson, bbc news. absolutely iconic musical. have you ever been in — absolutely iconic musical. have you ever been in it? _ absolutely iconic musical. have you ever been in it? been _ absolutely iconic musical. have you ever been in it? been on _ absolutely iconic musical. have you ever been in it? been on the - absolutely iconic musical. have you j ever been in it? been on the show? no! you said _

it's worth two point billion pounds. another figure for you, this regulation coming in hopefully by the end of the year and will be talking about that a bit later on. the treasury want to protect 10 million people so that tells me that the treasury figures say 10 million people are using buy now pay later. it's almost everywhere online. from clothes, furniture _ it's almost everywhere online. from clothes, furniture to _ it's almost everywhere online. from clothes, furniture to make - it's almost everywhere online. from clothes, furniture to make up. - clothes, furniture to make up. generally, it used to be online, clothing, fashion. it so with the you can use it everywhere. what's the problem? it's not an attack by the credit union on the buy now pay later sector but it can

serve people really well. what he's giving is his insight. generally speaking it tends to be people from low—income households. what he told me is that they are seeing people applying to help from credit unions more and more often. when they go through those finances for those people they have multiple commitments, debts, payments they need to remake with buy now pay later. ~ ., . . _, . . later. we would have a concern that individuals that _ later. we would have a concern that individuals that are _ later. we would have a concern that individuals that are using _ later. we would have a concern that individuals that are using those - individuals that are using those products— individuals that are using those products are not necessarily fully aware _ products are not necessarily fully aware of — products are not necessarily fully aware of the implications of what they are — aware of the implications of what they are entering into, in terms of commitment and the penalties that may exist _ commitment and the penalties that may exist if payments are not main on time _ may exist if payments are not main on time so— may exist if payments are not main on time. so we want to make sure

is so simple, straightforward. people want that convenience and that works well but it obviously means that so, so easy to do. in tamara“s case, she tried to plan, expect these financial commitments but they change. financial literacy and education, its being aware. it something robert kelly told me in a longer interview, you have to just take care of what you are buying now. ~ ., , . , ~ .~ now. we mentioned penalties kicking in. the now. we mentioned penalties kicking in- they can't — now. we mentioned penalties kicking in. they can't make _ now. we mentioned penalties kicking in. they can't make money _ now. we mentioned penalties kicking in. they can't make money if- now. we mentioned penalties kicking in. they can't make money if people | in. they can't make money if people are paying back. i've been reporting on buy now pay later and certainly the industry tells me it's a carrot and stick approach. we don't want to punish people. they don't want to be associated with payday loans and debt collectors. but, again, if you

stop paying your buy now pay later, you won't be able to use that firm any more and that's a big incentive for people to make sure their debt is paid. over and above more important debts in some cases like your rent, like your council tax. money box is taking a more in—depth look at this on radio four. if you've been affected by this, dan would love to hear your experiences. bright now you can send us a message on what's app. the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well.

off for this reaction, to his tussle with aaron muirhead. partick completed the rout thanks to kevin holt and they will face the team that finishes eleventh in the premiership, for a place in the premiership for a place in the top flight next season. that will be ross county or kilmarnock and they play tomorrow. the women's super league title, will be decided later at the end of a season, that has been its most competitive, and most keenly followed. chelsea go to reading, knowing a win withsecure a lith successive title, ahead of second—placed manchester united. we've only ever won a couple of games so this is just business as usualfor games so this is just business as usual for us. games so this is just business as usualfor us. 50 games so this is 'ust business as usual for us.— games so this is 'ust business as usual for us. so the preparation is what we've _ usual for us. so the preparation is what we've prepared _ usual for us. so the preparation is what we've prepared for _ usual for us. so the preparation is what we've prepared for at - usual for us. so the preparation is what we've prepared for at the - usual for us. so the preparation is. what we've prepared for at the very beginning of the season. in what we've prepared for at the very beginning of the season.— beginning of the season. in this moment where _ beginning of the season. in this moment where we _ beginning of the season. in this moment where we are - beginning of the season. in this moment where we are and - beginning of the season. in this i moment where we are and where beginning of the season. in this - moment where we are and where we've

the two best sides clash in the showpiece event. sale sharks against saracens who finished top and lost last years' final despite only bouncing back from relegation 2 years ago. it's a spectacular story. you can't question what they are doing within the infrastructure because not many teams would come through the adversity that team has been three. granted, yes, they've got a team full of superstars but to be able to retain them when you have been relegated into the championship and come under so much scrutiny to them bounce back like they have, get into the final last year and lose out to leicester in such a close encountered game and then back it up the following year, to be in another final and potentially in the history books again, we've been one of the greatest teams in the league. it's a special story.

for sale, its theirfirst final since 2006 — it's also the first time since then, that a club from the north of england, has been in the showpiece game. fly half george ford says he hopes, it could provide inspiration. hopefully, a lot. the atmosphere and enjoyment people had for that game is unbelievable and that's what we want to do. one of the reasons to inspire people appear, to make them proud of this rugby team, watch a winning team, and entertaining team at the same time. so yes, hopefully it inspires the next generation to carry on playing. the road ahead is looking better for lewis hamilton, ahead of the glitz and glamour of the monaco grand prix this weekend. . . he was sixth fastest, in practice, but says he can feel

it's saturday the 27th of may. phillip schofield has resigned from itv after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague at this morning. in a statement, mr schofield said he had lied about the relationship to the network, as well as to his agents, lawyers and family. he said the relationship was "unwise, but not illegal". itv said it felt deeply disappointed by what it called his admissions of deceit. simonjones reports. welcome back. i'm holding the fort. holly's had to leave a bit early today because she is meeting his majesty the king. in the space ofjust a week, he's gone from being one of itv�*s biggest stars to seeing his career in ruins. as holly said on stage, we never take it for granted. never, ever, ever. phillip schofield has admitted he lied to colleagues, his employers, the media and the public about a relationship with a man whom he'd first met when the man was a teenager, helping him to get into television. after the man started to work on this morning, it became more

than just a friendship. in a statement to the daily mail, phillip schofield said... he said he hadn't been truthful because he had wanted to protect the man. that's all coming up. he insisted his decision last week to leave this morning was unrelated to the deceit. it's been widely reported there had been an off—air rift between him and his co—presenter, holly willoughby. this probably is the end of phillip schofield's careerfor the moment. i mean, if he has not been truthful with people and he's lied to everybody he said he's lied to, that's over. you need integrity, ithink, to present the type of television phillip schofield is known for. we've got all the buttons here, shall we try pressing them all? ok, run vt!

he's been a face on tv since the 1980s. in recent years, a presenter of some of itv�*s biggest shows. next tonight, it's the award for... he had been due to host the british soap awards next weekend. and he and holly willoughby had presented dancing on ice together. but he's now quit the network. this morning is filmed here at television centre. in a statement, itv said it was deeply disappointed by what it called the admissions of deceit by phillip schofield. it said, "phillip made assurances to us, which he now acknowledges were untrue. we feel badly let down." this week began with phillip schofield's colleagues marking his departure from this morning. now we can't start today's show without paying tribute to the man who spent the last two decades sitting on this morning sofa, phillip schofield. the week ends with a dramatic fall from grace. simon jones, bbc news. the family of one of the two boys

who were killed in an e—bike crash in cardiff have told the bbc that they will fight to get to the truth of what happened. the deaths of 16—year old kyrees sullivan and 15—year old harvey evans, sparked a riot in the city's ely suburb but the circumstances behind the accident remain unclear. our wales correspondent tomos morgan has this report. around a thousand friends and family came together to celebrate last night. two teenagers whose favorite colour was blue. 15—year—old harvey evans and 16—year—old kyrees sullivan died on this same street on monday. it doesn't seem real. it hasn't, i don't think it's sunk in with any of us yet. i don't think we'll ever get used to the idea of not having harvey here. we'll never get used to it. it's a massive part of our life gone. he... he was amazing, you know? for the first time since his death, harvey's family has spoken exclusively to the bbc about what's happened and how they were kept waiting for news.

we were all stood at that barrier for over two hours and we were begging, begging. "please tell us if they're alive or dead." we were begging them. i had hold of my sister and we were begging and they wouldn't tell us nothing. and then someone ran into the crowd with their phone and said, "i've got a video. i've got a video of the police chasing them." and that is what started it. what happened next was an escalation of emotion, as a few from this heartbroken community turned to violence against the police. and they did so based on what was, at the time, a rumour. but piece by piece, cctv we've gathered has shown how police were following the boys in the minutes before their death. the police van turns away here because bollards block the end of the road and it was only a few hundred metres further that they died. it wasn't until almost 48 hours later that south wales police confirmed its officers had been following the teenagers but refused to answer why they did so in a press conference on wednesday,

citing an ongoing independent office for police conduct investigation. have you got faith and trust in the police and south wales police in general? no, i've got faith and trust in my family and this community that we will continue to fight and get the truth out there and we will get justice for these boys. as the investigation into south wales police's actions continues, a community struggling with loss still wait for answers. tomos morgan, bbc news, cardiff. police in carlisle are searching for a boy who has gone missing in the river eden. emergency services were called last night after four teenage boys were reported to have got into difficulty in the river. two were rescued safely, while one was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition. a 15—year—old boy still remains missing. police have released new cctv footage in connection with the attempted murder of a senior police officer in county tyrone. three vehicles believed to be used

by the gunmen were spotted travelling in convoy hours before the attack. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was shot multiple times at a sports centre in 0magh in february. 11 people have been arrested. ukraine's most senior security official has said his country is ready to launch its long—awaited counter—offensive against russian forces. in a rare interview, oleksiy danilov told the bbc the planned assault was a "historic opportunity". he was speaking to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, whojoins us now from kyiv. so,james, so, james, what exactly did we learn from this interview? iurute so, james, what exactly did we learn from this interview?— from this interview? we have been talkinu from this interview? we have been talking about _ from this interview? we have been talking about this _ from this interview? we have been talking about this counteroffensive j talking about this counteroffensive for months, and during that time ukraine has been training its troops, building up stockpiles and taking delivery of weapons and tanks

from the west. but no one has given us an insight into the circumstances into which they might go and some of the thinking behind the calculations that they are having on a daily basis trying to work out when to go. and so when we sat down with mr danilov, the most senior security official here in ukraine, it inevitable we will talk about exactly that, the circumstances when this offensive might begin and this is what he told me translation: it would happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week. it would be strange if i were to name dates or the start of that or another event. that cannot be done. but you are ready? translation: iurute that cannot be done. but you are ready? translation:— that cannot be done. but you are ready? translation: we are always read . the ready? translation: we are always ready- the same _ ready? translation: we are always ready. the same as _ ready? translation: we are always ready. the same as we _ ready? translation: we are always ready. the same as we are _ ready? translation: we are always ready. the same as we are ready i ready? translation: we are always ready. the same as we are ready to i ready. the same as we are ready to defend our country at any time. it is not a question of time. we have to understand that that historical opportunity that has been given to us by god to this country, we cannot lose, so we can truly become an independent big european country.

what really struck me throughout this interview was just how serious the calculation was for him and the rest of the ukrainian leadership. he said it was a responsible decision, he said it was something that ukraine had no right to make a mistake over. because this counteroffensive is notjust a question of whether or not ukraine can retake some territory from the invading russian forces, but also whether it can shift the dial, show to the rest of the world as well as the people here that all of that western support, the money in the military equipment, can end the effective deadlock on the battlefield. that is why so much is at stake and that is why what mr danilov told us was so interesting. thank you, james. the post office has apologised for using racist terms to describe sub—postmasters wrongly investigated as part of the horizon computer scandal. the faulty it system led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions for theft and false accounting over 15 years. the papers show fraud investigators

were asked to group suspects based on racial features. passengers flying into uk airports are facing long delays due to a problem with all electronic passport gates. the home office say the issue is affecting all airports and officials are working to resolve the situation in order to minimise disruption. borisjohnson has insisted that there is nothing in his diary from when he was prime minister that showed further rule breaking during the covid pandemic. cabinet office officials referred mrjohnson to the police after a review of documents for the covid inquiry. in his first public comments, he said that was "absurd" and denied that any of the entries referred to socialising. here's our political correspondent, leila nathoo. borisjohnson's behaviour during the pandemic is once again under scrutiny. a review of his ministerial diary as part of preparations for the covid inquiry prompted officials to alert police to potential further breaches of restrictions in addition to those already established.

the cabinet office said they'd been obliged to disclose the documents under the civil service code. but in his first public comments on the matter to sky news, mrjohnson insisted his diary entries did not show any rule breaking. there are tens of thousands of entries in the prime ministerial diary. i've never seen these things before. i've looked through it. none of them constitute a breach of the rules during, during covid, during... they weren't during lockdown. they were during other periods of the restrictions. none of them constitute a breach of the rules. none of them involve socialising. it is total nonsense. police are now considering their next steps. a commons committee looking into whether mrjohnson misled parliament over covid rule—breaking was also notified of the new potential breaches. it's now waiting for his official response to the latest claims. leila nathoo, bbc news.

and merchant sailors set sail from the city, risking their lives to bring vital supplies to wartime britain. our reporter sarah rogers is aboard hms defenderfor us this morning. i hope i am going to get my terminology right, sarah, are you on the bridge? show us around. lam iamon i am on the bridge wing, that's right. it all feels a little bit titanic. i am going to resist the urge to do the cliche, butjust about. this is the centrepiece of the commemorations of the battle of the commemorations of the battle of the atlantic which was the longest campaign of the second world war, lasting over 2000 days. really vital into being able to get those supplies into a place like liverpool. as part of the commemorations, loads going on this weekend. we have got a fly past, military village, there are tours, there are simulators, but before that, my colleague andy gill has

been speaking to some of the veterans who were around for the battle at the atlantic after a royal visit yesterday. the princess royal arrives at st nick's parish church in liverpool. she and her navy officer husband, sir tim lawrence, joined dignitaries and current naval officers for a service to remember those who lost their lives in the battle of the atlantic. afterwards, princess anne spoke about the importance of the battle. royal navy and merchant navy ships keeping britain and her allies fed and supplied with arms throughout world war ii. this memorial is really important to keep the battle of the atlantic as a story properly told, because it's a battle that lasted longer than any other. and we need to remember the lives lost. she then unveiled a new memorial garden. john davis from liverpool is 100 years old. he was a merchant seaman in the battle of the atlantic. i never got my feet wet myself.

i did see ships go down. i felt sorry for those people. what was it like watching that happen? horrendous. it's hard to tell, it's hard to speak about it. i have shed a few tears today, i tell you. george osborne is 101. he was a royal navy gunner. it means everything because, pay respect to the men who went away and didn't come back. and most of us were young boys. i mean, i was only 17 when the war started. and kenneth benbow, who's 98, was a torpedo man. what does this service and this anniversary, what does that mean to you? a heck of a lot, because i know it's my last. i had a wonderful ship, wonderful, and a wonderful captain. and i had a wonderful life. i don't doubt a part of it at all. it was wonderful. it made me from a boy into a man.

the royal navy ship hms defender is in liverpool for the commemorations and there was a fly—past by a navy swordfish plane and the battle of britain memorial flight. today, though, belonged to the men and women who served on the sea. andy gill, bbc news, liverpool. it's really poignant, hearing from people like that 98—year—old kenneth there. just get the scale of the ship, its hundred and 50 metres long, you cannot tell inside the bridge here. we can show you some shots from the outside. you can see how massive it is and the scale. i am going to speak to the captain. morning. am going to speak to the captain. morninu. ., ., ~' , am going to speak to the captain. morninu. ., ., ~ , .., ., ., , morning. looking very comfortable in our morning. looking very comfortable in your captains — morning. looking very comfortable in your captains chair, _ morning. looking very comfortable in your captains chair, lieutenant i morning. looking very comfortable in your captains chair, lieutenant pete l your captains chair, lieutenant pete evans. there are 200 people on this ship, what is life like for 200 people? ship, what is life like for 200 --eole? �* , ., ship, what is life like for 200

by the dogs, the site is logged and traps are set. james, do you think we've got one in the last trap? in the last trap? well, yes, probably considering how many crayfish are in this reservoir. for the only time i've ever done this, there isn't a crayfish. yeah. unfortunately, it didn't get any this time. but in the finest traditions of television, here's one we found earlier. making some moves. the american signal crayfish was brought to our country as a commercial species in the 1970s, but soon escaped from fisheries. they carry a disease which has decimated the native white clawed crayfish on which they also prey and outcompete for food. they're widespread in our rivers and can now be found in two of devon's reservoirs. south west water owns a lot of reservoirs and they're very large sites. but the dogs can cover ground far more quickly than a human could so that's why we use them

to speed up the monitoring process. we will never eradicate the signal crayfish at this site. our hope is to reduce the numbers, to reduce the impact on the environment and the angling opportunities here. as well as being voracious predators, signal crayfish burrows are causing riverbank erosion. they can live for up to 20 years, which means there's lots of work ahead for dogs like sid and river. that report from kevin hay. breakfast is on bbc one until ten o'clock, after which matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt, what's on the menu? i had the extraordinary statement from charlie this morning that he is done with mashed potato. i don't know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato. i don't know what we do with that. just done with mashed — know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato? _ know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato? over— know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato? over it! - know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato? over it! out i know what we do with that. just done with mashed potato? over it! out of| with mashed potato? over it! out of his life. with mashed potato? over it! out of his life- really. _ with mashed potato? over it! out of his life. really, why? _ with mashed potato? over it! out of his life. really, why? i— with mashed potato? over it! out of his life. really, why? i wasn't- his life. really, why? iwasn't really expecting _ his life. really, why? iwasn't really expecting this - his life. really, why? iwasn't really expecting this to i his life. really, why? i wasn't. really expecting this to become his life. really, why? i wasn't-

team of superstars but to be able to retain them when you have been relegated into the championship and come under so much scrutiny, to bounce back like they have, get into a final last year and lose out to leicester in such a close encountered game then back up the following year to be in another final and potentially in the history books again. we've been one of the greatest teams in the league. it's a special story. greatest teams in the league. it's a special story-— special story. this is also a huge moment in _ special story. this is also a huge moment in sale's _ special story. this is also a huge moment in sale's history. - it's also the first time since then, that a club from the north of england, has been in the showpiece game. fly half george ford says he hopes, it could provide inspiration. hopefully, a lot. the atmosphere and enjoyment

people had for that game is unbelievable and that's what we want to do. one of the reasons to inspire people appear, to make them proud of this rugby team, watch a winning team, but an entertaining team at the same time. so yes, hopefully it inspires the next generation to carry on playing. we all know how much hype, there can be around boxing — but this autumn we mightjust finally, get the fight, thats been talked about for years. thats if the world heavyweight champion tyson fury gets his the w.b.c champion says he has sent a contract to fellow british heavyweight and two—time world champion anthonyjoshua, for a fight at wembley in september. in a post on social media overnight, fury says "it's a fight everyone wants to see, including myself. come on aj, let's give the world what they want to see." in rugby league, just one game this weekend, as salford red devils take on hull fc, tomorrow, after a bumper night of action yesterday. leeds rhinos vs st helens had it all.....with the rhinos ahead for the whole match

until right near the end, when saints pulled level, and then clinched victory courtesy of a golden point, scored by lewis dodd in the 89th minute. so cruel that on the home side.... elsewhere there were wins for catalan dragons, huddersfield giants and leigh leopards, who beat top of the table warrington, in the upset of the night... in cricket's t20 blast, sean abbott equalled the record for the fastest t20 century, as he inspired surrey to victory over kent. the australian, matched his compatriot, the late andrew symonds, by reaching three figures, injust31i deliveries. abbott hit 15 boundaries including an incredible 11 sixes. the aussie finished on 110 not out, obliterating his previous highest score which was a1. now on this weekend of great drama, that is the only thing britain's geraint thomas is hoping to avoid with a first giro d'italia crown, within touching distamce 110w. today it's an eleven and a half mile time trial, which might sound easy, but the second half is a steep uphill ride to the finish. thomas will have a 26—second—buffer over his rival, with the final stage tomorrow, when he could become the oldest winner of the race at 37.

lets now cross live to northern italy, and the fri—uli region and speak to our reporter tom brown. hi tom. how's it looking then there this morning, ahead of this vital day, when thomas could all but clinch this title. how are you nervous? in a little over seven hours' time will know who wins the giro d'italia. like we've seenin wins the giro d'italia. like we've seen in the tour de france, the leader won't be challenge. it's a ceremonial of the sprinters and a time trial today is going to be the decisive day but as you've rightly pointed out, it's not the usual flat because fast finish we are used to seeing. it'll start a bit like that and then it's all uphill for the dramatic finish. geraint thomas with

a 26 second advantage over his rival. a move was made on him at the dolomites to take off three seconds and afterwards at the finish, he was all smiles and he looked relaxed, chatting to fans looking like a man who'd do everything he could to overturn the advantage. geraint has it all to lose as he sits there in pink but he a great time trialist. he has a 26 second advantage like you say so around 5p in he has a 26 second advantage like you say so around spin uk time, put your tvs because we are in for a dramatic finish. 50 your tvs because we are in for a dramatic finish.— your tvs because we are in for a dramatic finish. so if you avoid any dramatic finish. so if you avoid any drama like falling _ dramatic finish. so if you avoid any drama like falling off, _ dramatic finish. so if you avoid any drama like falling off, anything - drama like falling off, anything dramatic, then he should clinch it? yeah but so much can happen because there is also the complication of a lot of the riders opt for a bike change in the middle of this course because of the undulating beginning

and switch to the road bikes for the final time. and switch to the road bikes for the finaltime. in and switch to the road bikes for the final time. in the tour de france, one of the riders had a minute lead and was overtaken so it can be dramatic. it can be dramatic with twists and turns. that 26 seconds could get eaten up so quickly but because geraint thomas is going last, he will know exactly what he needs to do to try and keep that advantage but nerves can come in, pressure can come in and it will be interesting to see who can hold their own. interesting to see who can hold their own-— interesting to see who can hold their own. ., _, ., their own. put it into context, how bi would their own. put it into context, how big would this _ their own. put it into context, how big would this achievement - their own. put it into context, how big would this achievement they . their own. put it into context, how i big would this achievement they need to do this at the age of 37, for geraint thomas? mi to do this at the age of 37, for geraint thomas?— to do this at the age of 37, for geraint thomas? all that talk of mark cavendish _ geraint thomas? all that talk of mark cavendish retiring, - geraint thomas? all that talk of mark cavendish retiring, these i geraint thomas? all that talk of i mark cavendish retiring, these guys go back 25 years. they've been competing together since they were

juniors. you've got thomas thinking about his retirement plan, but for him to still be mixing it with the best, the very best in the world, the rider in third place is 12 years younger than him! the rider in third place is 12 years youngerthan him! his the rider in third place is 12 years younger than him! his team were saying his big wins were past him and they wanted him to take on a more supportive role but he still had the belief he could win. he had the tour de france podium last year but at 37 to win the giro d'italia would be an incredible achievement. a remarkable crown at the end of his career. two olympic golds in beijing and the tour de france in 2018, to add a giro d'italia to be right in that top echelon of riders around the world, notjust in britain. thank you, tom. please give geraint all our best. hope he can do it. tom

brown in northern italy. as he says, 26 seconds is a good lead but we've seenin 26 seconds is a good lead but we've seen in the past on a time trial like that one is, notjust the usual time trial that a change of bikes means anything can happen. i don't know where to look. radio one in the background, all screens open, you'll be fine. don't talk about the relegation battle in the premier league tomorrow! the time now is 9:45am. we're been speaking this morning about buy now, pay later which in the last few years, has become one of the most popular ways for shoppers to pay for things. but there are concerns more people are now applying to credit unions for loans after getting into financial difficulties many of whom have made multiple purchases using buy now pay later. you've been sharing your experiences with us. money box on radio four is doing a

special on this. we've had loads of your messages. let's pick up on a few of these. mark has been in touch and has said i've used buy now pay later to pay my car is mot between 1-6 later to pay my car is mot between 1—6 months to pay it back. i've used it to buy a recliner chair as well. so it's good for someone like me. richard says if you can't afford to pay cash then you can't afford it. save up and painful. amelia says i've used buy now pay later. it's given me a chance to save up to pay at the due date. rather than blame the buy now pay later scheme for a small percentage of people getting into debt, why aren't we focusing on why there are adults who don't understand how to budget and don't realise what is essential in the difference between want and need.

there was one important element and was telling us about in the part of the discussion which i'm sure he'll investigate in money box a bit later. here is ben with your weather. where are you? that's another beautiful _ weather. where are you? that's another beautiful spot. - weather. where are you? that's another beautiful spot. this i weather. where are you? that's another beautiful spot. this is i another beautiful spot. this is gower in south wales. what a beautiful start to the morning it is here. but this is a scene that's been replicated across parts of the uk it's probably too nice to be indoors watching sport.- indoors watching sport. warm sunshine mostly _ indoors watching sport. warm sunshine mostly dry. - indoors watching sport. warm sunshine mostly dry. you i indoors watching sport. warm sunshine mostly dry. you can| indoors watching sport. warm i sunshine mostly dry. you can see indoors watching sport. warm - sunshine mostly dry. you can see the stripe of cloud. it's not gonna be completely sunny today, this area bringing pieces of rain into the north west of scotland. cloud too for england, wales and some patchy cloud particularly in eastern parts.
