good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sarah campbell. our headlines today: questions remain over why passport egates stopped working, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stuck in queues at the uk's borders. holly willoughby accuses phillip schofield of lying to her about his affair in herfirst statement since he quit itv. cheering and applause. from non—league to premier league: it's a fairy tale ending for luton town as they win the championship play—off final. it was a game full of drama which saw luton beat coventry on penalties

and the winning team's captain being strechered off after collapsing on the pitch. all: what happened to - the math teacher's garden? it grew square roots. from larking around in school to being crowned britain's funniest class, we'll speak to the 10—year—old behind their winning joke. and in weather, it's going to be a sunny, coola and in weather, it's going to be a sunny, cool a day for many but the dry story continues and will do so through much of the coming week. all of the details right here on breakfast —— cooler. it's sunday the 28th of may. our main story — questions still remain this morning as to why passport egates stopped working at major airports across the uk. tens of thousands of passengers were left waiting hours as passports had to be checked manually. the home office says the issue has now been fixed, as vincent mcaviney reports.

woman: this is gatwick's line. at the start of a bank holiday weekend and half—term, it was the last thing these travellers at gatwick airport wanted. queues described by one passenger as "an utterjoke," scenes replicated at airports across the uk. severe delays in manchester, where arriving passengers struggled to get through passport control. arrivals at luton also having to have passports checked by hand. at heathrow, britain's busiest airport, saw some passengers waiting in queues for more than three hours. it was absolutely chaos at passport control. i waited something like 2.5 hours to get out of the airport. the home office says it was a failure of the whole uk border system — in particular, egates, where passengers scan their own passports, which stopped working entirely. this was the worst outage the system has experienced. but the home office refused to explain what exactly had gone

wrong, as it was too sensitive to say. it is very unusual, in my experience. we have had outages at individual terminals and at individual ports of entry in the past but a systemic outage of this scale for this long is really quite unusual. egates also stopped working at the eurostar terminal at gare du nord in paris, causing more disruption. across the country, the system is now working again. but saturday was a miserable day for tens of thousands of passengers. with the busy summer holidays soon, travellers will be hoping the home office uses the next few weeks to ensure the system holds up. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our reporter matt graveling is at heathrow airport this morning. good morning to you. obviously, you are outside and not in the passport control area but we understand things have calmed down now but i guess everyone is hoping that will

desk, which is how we used to come into the country before the biometric passports came in around ten years ago. there was actually an inspection, a report done, on the home office a few years ago, asking what would happen if there was a catastrophic failure of the egates and is part of the contingency plan, the home office says we don't think there ever will be one. of course, we saw problems yesterday. the home office said it was too sensitive to say why would believe a lot of people wondering what happened but will it happen again? something the aviation industry and travellers will not want to see ahead of those busy summer holidays.— will not want to see ahead of those busy summer holidays. indeed, matt gravelin: , busy summer holidays. indeed, matt graveling, thank _ busy summer holidays. indeed, matt graveling, thank you. _ after a dramatic play—off final, luton town have been promoted to the premier league, returning to top flight football after more than 30 years. these were the scenes of celebration after they beat coventry in a tense penalty shoot—out. some players are wearing captain tom lockyer�*s shirt — a show of support after he collapsed

—— reports of this relationship. she added it has been very hurtful to now find out this has been a lie. it is very difficult position for holly to be in because what do you say? i think her silence spoke great volumes as well, but i think now at least because she has said something, it can hopefully stop speculation that she knew all about it and all the other things people have been talking about, particularly online. some former presenters have suggested the revelation raise questions about how much the network's managers knew at the time. itv says it investigated the rumours that phillip schofield had an affair with a young colleague when they first began to circulate in early 2020. the broadcaster said both men repeatedly denied the rumours, and a number of employees were also spoken to but no evidence of a relationship was found. holly and phil presented this morning together for ia years until his departure last week. now, his exit from itv means he will no longer present

ahead. one or two isolated showers about but the reason it is a touch cooler is high pressure is in charge keeping things dry but this area of blue, slightly cooler air running around the top and pushing south across the uk behind the weather front. that's across southeast cost —— the southeast producing more cloud, drifting in around the midlands, maybe producing the odd shall become isolated show in the short term across the northeast of scotland too but across scotland we will see more sunshine develop later in the day can certainly compared with yesterday and sunniest of all around the western and southern parts of england. almost really will be plymouth, bournemouth, that sort of thing, 2a degrees, much cooler down the eastern coasts compared with yesterday when we saw 23 and in the midteens or some today. tonight we will see some of the cloud that we've built up through the day across england fading away. still some around eastern coasts into the morning but clear skies tonight, quite a chilly night in store. temperatures could be low enough for a touch of grassed frost here and

there, certainly with simple figures for many. high pressure is in charge, keeping things dry, centred across scotland, northern edge of thatis across scotland, northern edge of that is where we see the strong winds for shipment and the southern the winds picking up today and tomorrow across southern counties of england, dropping the temperature. it will bring in some low cloud across the eastern coastal counties, it will drift inland through the morning and break up readily. after the bank holiday monday, at all. a bit of cloud in the far north of scotland. most sitting under strong sunshine throughout monday. temperatures in scotland and ireland creeping up at a everyone day for some across england and wales, especially down the coast of east anglia and the southeast. as we go through tuesday, the high pressure expands a bit so the winds light across northern scotland. still a bit of a fresh breeze down the eastern counties of england, dragging some low cloud into some eastern counties here but with the blue skies overhead, scotland, northern ireland, the temperatures at the highest would be 2a or 25

lucrative match. five years ago luton and coventry met in a link to no—one would reach the top flight. in the high—stakes, luton stuck to their plan. they codirected the talent up top where adebayo set up jordan clark. three years ago he joined them now luton have taken. have also hunted out staff. gustavo hamer made it 1—1. have also hunted out staff. gustavo hamer made it1—1.joe taylor thought this would take them up but it was allowed by var. excruciating, exhilarating. we went to penalties. luton struck a perfect six and on sudden death, for coventry, it would be cruel. as luton went up, they were watched by their captain. tom lockyer had been stretchered off in

the first south but from hospital joined in with his team's piece of history. these fans now had back to their town at what is the highpoint of an extraordinary journey. their town at what is the highpoint of an extraordinaryjourney. less than a decade ago, this team were in nonleague and now premier league football is coming to kenilworth road. . ., ~ .. football is coming to kenilworth road. . ., «a, . , road. cannot think of anything better. road. cannot think of anything better- my _ road. cannot think of anything better. my dad _ road. cannot think of anything better. my dad took _ road. cannot think of anything better. my dad took me - road. cannot think of anything better. my dad took me to - road. cannot think of anything better. my dad took me to see i road. cannot think of anything - better. my dad took me to see luton when _ better. my dad took me to see luton when i _ better. my dad took me to see luton when i was _ better. my dad took me to see luton when i was that high and it is a dream— when i was that high and it is a dream come true.— when i was that high and it is a dream come true. luton were last in the top flight — dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in _ dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in 1992. _ dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in 1992. they - dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in 1992. they went - the top flight in 1992. they went down just before the riches of the premier league rebrand. the prize that goes with promotion is £170 million, for this club and its ground, that could be transformative. those plans will come later. for now, luton and celebrate their remarkable rise. joe lynskey, bbc news. so what a story for luton! it's really hard to believe they were playing in the fifth—tier conference just nine years ago, after a decade of financial hardship. their manager rob edwards was actually sacked by watford earlier in the season,

now he's led rivals luton to the premier league we have to play to our strength which is what we have tried to keep doing since we have come in. of course, they will be some changes in some recruitment, of course, we want to be competitive. we realise that this is going to be the biggest challenge ever. we get that. the best managers in the world, the best players are all in the premier league. we know how tough it is but allow me to try and enjoy this night tonight, please, before answering that in any more detail. so with all that drama to digest from yesterday, what more do we have in store today? all eyes turn to the premier league to see who luton will be replacing. two from leicester, leeds and everton will be relegated to the championship later on. all three sides are at home and all in need of a victory to stand any chance of keeping their place in england's top division. patrick gearey looks ahead to a nervy day for them.

totally committed but completely powerless, the last day relegation battle, the football fans of purgatory, one way ofjoyous escape, the other, the chasm. many everton fans have been here before. 94 and it and again in 98. nervous afternoons when they step off the trapdoors at the last moment. well what they have this time is controlled. if they beat by most they stay up as a victory would keep that bleak possibility of relegation at bay. theyjust need to win. we at bay. they 'ust need to win. we worked at bay. theyjust need to win. 2 worked hard to get in this position. it is this stage of the season. as long as we capitalise on it. it has been a consistent message to the team, we go to every game to win a game. team, we go to every game to win a name. .. .. , , team, we go to every game to win a name. .. ., ,, , game. lower down, even less blood. blessed are —

despite winning a sixth premiership title at twickenham. the england captain turned in a man—of—the—match performance, as saracens overcame sale 35 points to 25 to clinch a first title in four years and their first since they were relegated for salary cap breaches in 2020. sarries triumph comes a year after they suffered a dramatic loss in last year's final to leicester tigers. well, earlierjust stop oil protesters forced a stoppage in play. two men invaded the pitch midway through the first half, throwing orange paint powder on to the field. twickenham stadium later confirmed two men had been arrested and that the incident is now a police matter. meanwhile in the united rugby championship grand final, munster produced a huge upset to beat the defending champion stormers of south africa on their home turf. the irish side scored the winning try five minutes from full—time to clinch their first title in 12 years. max verstappen will be favourite to win the monaco grand prix for the second time in his career later today. the formula 1 world champion pulled off what his red bull boss christian horner said

you are very early affected to this. i mean, which child has the possibility to be part of it this year on a huge stage? of course, the role ofjesus is really exhausting. so we have over 100 plays, we play five times a week, and i play half of the plays. and every day after the play, you're really exhausted because it's a very demanding day. it's like a five—and—a—half hour play. you're 20 minutes on the cross, and you have a lot of text in the first part of the play. in the second part, it's more physically and it's, you know, it's very tough. my first remembrance to the passion play is when i was two years old. my father was a roman soldier at this time and he was riding on a horse, and i with my grandfather out in the passion play theatre. in 2000, i was the apostle, judas. in 2010 i was caiaphas, and now this time i am pontius pilate. for such a small village,

it's a big effort to put such a big play on the stage, and everybody is working together and it's a very special experience for everybody who takes part in the play. you could not do this every year, but every ten, it's ok. i work in the hotel, so the advantage is if people in the theatre know about it in the hotel, so, i can go to the stage. i like about the play because it's not something old, it's important in our world today. the message ofjesus is universal. to be good to the others, to help those who are outside of the community, or he talks about poverty, he talks about diseases, it talks about war. it points to the problems that we have today. i don't know if the role has changed me. i always try to be nice to others, but i don't know if i'm a better

person, but i try. you can catch the passion play all the way through to october. and, if bavaria is on for the coming months, bear some of these things in mind. oktoberfest is back after a two—year hiatus. the wiesn, as it's known locally, started as a simple wedding celebration for bavarian royalty in 1810. it's now a major folk festival, attracting millions of visitors from across the world, and sees over a million gallons of beer drunk each year. fancy putting on your lederhosen or dirndl? then make your way to munich any time between september 17th and october 3rd, later this year.

til the cows come home is an annual festival that promises to keep the party going...until the cows come home, literally. each september in the bavarian alps, cattle are brought down to the villages from their mountain meadows. this traditional event is called the viehscheid. the cows are treated like celebrities on the way back home to their owners. and locals dress up in traditional costumes and celebrate the event with oom—pah music, beer and traditionalfood. some of the best views are the fairytale—esque neuschwanstein castle can be seen from the marienbrucke bridge, however, the bridge has been closed for over a year due to structural problems. but, good news is on the horizon as, this month, renovation works began and tourists can expect to check out the views again from this summer.

still to come on the travel show: simon's here celebrating 50 years of the european interrail pass. there was the added attraction of night trains, which provided somewhere for you to rest your head, if not necessarily sleep as the train clattered across europe. commentator: waiting i to receive was mighty best! and they say, "never meet your heroes," but what about sleeping in their bed? i am in belfast for a trip that ten—year—old mejust wouldn't have believed. i wonder what he would have made of this? so, don't go away. from the arctic to the mediterranean, from the far west of ireland to the far east of turkey, for half a century,

interrail has unlocked europe for millions of rail travellers. in 1972, widespread international travel was beyond the reach of the average european. the budget airlines were decades away. then, the international union of railways decided to celebrate its 50th anniversary by coming up with a special travel ticket for under 21s. pay £32 and you could wander almost anywhere you wanted on the railways of europe for a month! interrail proved an instant success, opening up the countryside, the cities, the coasts of a continent for barely more than a return airfare between london and paris. for low—budget travellers, there was the added attraction of night trains, which provided somewhere for you to rest your

head, if not necessarily sleep as the train clattered across europe. and perhaps because of spending endless days and nights on trains, not every interrailer was renowned for their impeccable personal hygiene. in 1972, when interrail began, steam trains weren't museum pieces as they are here at the bluebell railway in sussex. they were actually running scheduled services in parts of eastern europe, and even france. since then, of course, europe has had a revolution on the railways, with some expresses travelling at over 300 kilometres an hour. and, interrail has been transformed as well, now open to anyone of any age. and, forget the old paper pass, interrail now comes as a smart phone app.

but, before you jump on—board, here are some things to look out for. the fastest trains in italy, spain and france require you to pre—book a seat, and pay a supplement of 10 euros or more. yes, even though you have already got a interrail pass. and, since brexit, the 3—1 pass could push the british traveller slightly over than 90—day limit for the so—called schengen area. using as much as you legally could would mean no visit to those countries for 90 days, before or afterwards. depending on where you're going, interrail could prove a false country. ——a false economy. in eastern europe, portugal, and on the classic trains of europe, ordinary tickets are very cheap. and, in luxembourg, all public transport is free.

so, how to make the most of an interrail pass? i'm going to meet the railway historian and writer, christian wolmar. christian, i give you a interrail pass valid for one month — the traditional, original interrail. where are you going to go? oh, i am going to the farther reaches of eastern europe, you know, into kind of deep forest, you would probably see some bears. you'll go to the back end of romania, the odd places in bulgaria — all those places which, you know, were closed to us until the fall of the berlin wall, and are still somewhat mysterious. we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of interrail, but isn't itjust a bit of railway nostalgia? very relevant today in terms of the greenness, the sustainability, and also that wonderful thing — slow travel. you know, we don't want to kind of have to rush everywhere, go to some ghastly airport. whereas, on the train, you go there slowly, and the scenery changes gradually, the weather changes gradually, and you get

there feeling good. for me, the greatest virtue of interrail is serendipity — making things up as you go along, changing your plans on a whim or a whispered recommendation from a fellow train traveller. i'll be back on the rails of europe this summer and i hope to see you on board. to end this week, i'm in belfast, the capital of northern ireland, on a pilgrimage to visit the childhood home of a bit of a hero of mine. he was among the '60s' biggest sporting stars, so influential that one of the city's airports is actually named after him. it's wet and it's gloomy but this is where one of the world's greatest ever footballers, george best, honed his skills.

here in northern ireland, the saying goes, "maradona good, pele better, george best." waiting to receive was mighty best. he simply walked the ball into the net! cheering and applause what a goal! united in the lead! he was a key part of the iconic manchester united team that in 1968 became the first english side to win the european cup. ..president of the european union football association handed it over. and off the pitch, he wasjust as famous for his glamorous, hard—partying lifestyle which led to the nickname the fifth beatle. george best had changed sides. and it all began here, in belfast�*s cregagh estate, where fans now have the chance to stay at his childhood home. hello, you must be peter.

iam. welcome to george best's house. come on on in. thank you very much. wow! so, this is the main room. uh-huh. the bests would have lived in this house from 1948, so we've recently put the house back to as it would've been in 1961, when george first went over to manchester as a 15—year—old in search of fame and fortune. so, that's his mother. yes, the photograph, then, shows george with his mother, annie, and this photograph was taken on his parents' 25th silver wedding anniversary, so they would've been stood in this very room. i mean, this is a 20th—century legend, icon and he would've been here and this picture was there. wow. how easy was it to source this kind of furniture? just came from a number of sources, local charity shops, antique dealers, etc.

the bests were the only family to live in this house. george's mother, ann, died in 1978 but his father, dickie, lived here for 60 years, until his death in 2008. so, this is the kitchen. this is the kitchen, yes. again, done as it would've been in 1961. it's very much retro—fied, so we have the belfast sink here and even the modern units like the fridge—freezer have got a retro feel about them. wow! this isn't from 1961, though, is it? no, you can eat those and be safe. the house was bought by a local non—profit group called eastside partnership and, in its new retro—furnished state, is now available as a holiday rental. so, all of the proceeds that we get from the use of this house are used to support other community projects in east belfast. tourists have come here and tell me what their reaction

has been like. oh, the reaction's been fantastic. a lot of manchester united fans would stay here, but also just local people who just want the opportunity to see the house and stay in the house as well. so, peter's gone and here i am. this retro stuff is incredible. i mean, this was a guy who i'd pretty well worshipped as a child so to be in his house — this shrine, really — it's throwing me, to be honest with you. this year, the partnership has introduced an audio tour, featuring memories from george's sister, barbara. when mum and dad first moved in, it was much smaller... but peter has gone one better for my stay and organised a visit from barbara herself... there's a picture there.

..together with george's childhood friend, robin. that's me. yeah? yeah. and there is you—know—who. what do you think, barbara, of the idea that people can come here and stay the night? in his later years, george suffered a very public battle with alcoholism. but up until his death in 2005, this house was always a refuge. 16 burren way here in the cregagh estate was where he was brought up and this was where he felt safe. we tried to protect him, and george knew that when he came here, he wasn't open to the media scrutiny that he would have been across the water — isn't that right, barbara?

yes, yes, yes, yes. he felt safe, yeah. yes. light globe buzzes right, well, it's night—time and it feels a bit intrusive but, anyway, this is obviously one of the bedrooms that the family lived in. but not only am i staying in the same house, i'm actually going to be sleeping in the very room that he had as a child. it's a kind of medium—sized room, the kind of room that any 12—year—old, 13—year—old boy would have, i guess. i wonder what he would've made of this. hopefully, he would've found it quite funny. right, it's time for me to get some sleep,

although i'm not completely tired yet. i need some reading material. and i think this should do the trick. goodnight. well, i've got to be honest, that was a peculiar experience and waking up this morning was like being in a time warp. very strange. but looking ahead, it looks like we've got another great programme coming up next week. as queen elizabeth celebrates 70 years on the throne, i'm at scotland's balmoral castle. 1853, queen victoria laid the foundation stone, and this is when they started the build of the balmoral castle that we have today. i think someone described it as a piece of bavaria plunked into the middle of the scottish forestland? exactly!

so please do try and join us for that. and don't forget, you can follow our travel show social media accounts on facebook and twitter, and catch up with past episodes on the iplayer. right now, i'm tempted to see if any of that bestie magic has worn off on me and have a little kick about in the garden. but until next week, from me and everyone else here in belfast, it's goodbye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: questions remain over why passport e—gates stopped working — leaving tens of thousands of passengers stuck in queues at the uk's borders. cheering from non league to premier league — it's a fairy—tale ending for luton town as they win the championship play—off final it was a game full of drama which saw luton beat coventry on penalties. the winning teams captain tom lockyer celebrated in his hospital bed after earlier collapsing on the pitch.

as vincent mcaviney reports. woman: this is gatwick's line. at the start of a bank holiday weekend and half—term, it was the last thing these travellers at gatwick airport wanted. queues described by one passenger as "an utterjoke," scenes replicated at airports across the uk. severe delays in manchester, where arriving passengers struggled to get through passport control. arrivals at luton also having to have passports checked by hand. at heathrow, britain's busiest airport, saw some passengers waiting in queues for more than three hours. it was absolutely chaos at passport control. i waited something like 2.5 hours to get out of the airport. the home office says it was a failure of the whole uk border system — in particular, egates, where passengers scan their own passports, which stopped working entirely. this was the worst outage the system has experienced. but the home office refused to explain what exactly had gone wrong, as it was too sensitive to say.

it's very unusual, in my experience. we have had outages at individual terminals and at individual ports of entry in the past but a systemic outage of this scale for this long is really quite unusual. egates also stopped working at the eurostar terminal at gare du nord in paris, causing more disruption. across the country, the system is now working again. but saturday was a miserable day for tens of thousands of passengers. with the busy summer holidays soon, travellers will be hoping the home office uses the next few weeks to ensure the system holds up. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our reporter matt graveling is at heathrow airport this morning. matt, calmer scenes this morning, but questions over whether that'll last? good morning, roger. you can see heathrow behind me. we don't know what is going on inside but the passengers arriving at hoping that

it is better than yesterday. the queues of people experienced when the e gates went down. actually here at heathrow there were problems with british airways' technical system which saw around 20,000 passages affect and then on friday between about seven and eight o'clock we were told by gatwick, the e gates all across the uk began to fail. this caused problems the saturday with gatwick telling us they were expecting around 800 flies to come in so you can see why the queues quickly built up. the immigration services union told us that between 60 and 80% of all passengers coming into the uk use these e gates but that at no time was national security under thread because instead of going through the electronic gates they simply went through manta desks and offices which is what people used to do before these electric passports came outjust before these electric passports came out just over ten years before these electric passports came outjust over ten years ago now but the e gates themselves, roger, have beenin the e gates themselves, roger, have been in place since around 2008 and

what is interesting is that a couple of years ago inspectors with the home office and said is there a contingency plan in place in case there is a catastrophic flavour —— failure was to mark they didn't expected to happen and of course yesterday did happen and when the home office said it happened it is too sensitive to safe is a bit leaves lots of people asking why did it happen in such a busy period and those answers a lot of people but —— might be worried that it may happen again over the summer holidays. let cosmic hope not. matt, thank you. —— lets's hope not. after a dramatic play off final, luton town have been promoted to the premier league — returning to top flight football after more than 30 years. these were the scenes of celebration after they beat coventry in a tense penalty shootout. some players are wearing captain tom lockyer�*s shirt — a show of support after he collapsed on the pitch earlier in the game. here he is in the hospital celebrating his team's incredible victory.

damian, what more do we know? this is an idea that is being discussed inside government, is what we understand, and it is something thatis we understand, and it is something that is already being done in france so the french government for three months now has had an agreement with the biggest supermarkets there and that they keep prices at what is called the lowest possible level so it is being looked at here and the idea as it will be entirely voluntary, so they wouldn't be any other or anything like that so it will be the government seeking to get supermarkets to say that what they will do is to keep prices of sort of staple goods as low as they could and it comes against the backdrop of course of food price inflation in the 19% were the latest figures, so should be aware of the pressures of people and —— on people, and the idea of this would

be that food retailers would say that on key staple items they would look to keep prices down but as you are saying at the beginning this is at the early stages of discussion and perhaps get people to agree to. damian grammaticas, thank you for that. seven men have been charged with the attempted murder of senior police officer in county tyrone. detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell was shot multiple times in omagh in february. the men — between the ages of 28 and 72 — will appear in court tomorrow. itv bosses have denied reports that this morning faces the axe, after phillip schofield resigned and admitted he'd had an affair with a younger colleague. in a statement, the network confirmed the show will be back on screen tomorrow. hours earlier, host holly willoughby said it was "very hurtful" to discover mr schofield had lied to her about the relationship, as katherine da costa reports.

phillip schofield says he's deeply sorry for lying to colleagues, friends and family about a relationship he had with a young male colleague whilst working at the itv daytime show this morning. in a post on instagram, his former co—presenter holly willoughby said it had taken time to process the news. i think it must�*ve been a really difficult position for holly to be in because what do you say? and i think her silence spoke great volumes as well, all but i do think now at least because she has said something, it can hopefully stop speculation that she knew all about it and all the other things people have been talking about, particularly online. some former presenters have suggested the revelations raise questions about how much the network's managers knew at the time. itv says it investigated the rumours that phillip schofield had an affair with a young colleague when they first began to circulate in early 2020.

the broadcaster said both men repeatedly denied the rumours and a number of employees were also spoken to, but no evidence of a relationship was found. holly and phil presented this morning together for 14 years until his departure last week. now, his exit from itv means he'll no longer present the british soap awards next month or front a new prime time series the company had lined up for him. katharine da costa, bbc news. at least one person has died after russia launched an overnight drone attack on ukraine's capital, kyiv. defences shot down more than 40 drones heading towards the city last night. we're joined now by our diplomatic correspondent james landale. james — what more do we know? good morning. it is really strange at the moment. keeve is living a double life. at the moment it is

there were reports of ukrainian drones being launched against oil refineries and the rush of rush in the russian held area so the drumbeat of activity is beginning to increase here.— drumbeat of activity is beginning to increase here. james, thank you very much. increase here. james, thank you very much- james — increase here. james, thank you very much. james landale _ increase here. james, thank you very much. james landale there. - the government is taking over the running of transpennine express trains in the north of england and scotland from today, after months of complaints about delays and cancellations. itjoins six other rail franchises already under state control. between january and march, the transpennine express cancelled more than 20 percent of the trains it was supposed to run, many at the last minute. it blamed staff sickness, a backlog of driver training and the lack of an overtime agreement with the drivers' union. it will now be called transpennine trains. voters in turkey are heading to the polls today to decide whether their president should remain in power after 20 years. our reporter ozge ozdemir has been following this closely from istanbul and joins us now. ozge, how significant

luton town were relegated from england's first division — just missing out on the brand new, and highly lucrative premier league. they've finally now got their place back — after beating coventry in dramatic style at wembley in the championship play—off final. joe lynskey was watching. this is luton town! this is the premier league has its newest addition, the team who for nine years have just kept rising. in 2014, luton town were in the 5th tier, now they have won their sport's most lucrative match. five years ago luton and coventry met in league two, now one would reach the top flight. in these high—stakes, luton stuck to their plan. they go direct to their talent up top where elijah adebayo set up jordan clark. three years ago he joined them from accrington stanley, now luton had take off. but coventry too have scouted out stars. gustavo hamer dragged them back into this game, 1—1, 0 extra time. luton's joe taylor thought this would take them up but it was ruled out by var. excruciating, exhilarating. this play—off went to penalties,

where luton struck a perfect six and on sudden death, for coventry, it would be cruel. commnetator: despair for him, delight for luton. as luton went up, they were watched by their captain. tom lockyer had been stretchered off in the first half but from hospital joined in with his team's piece of history. these luton fans now head back to their town at what is the highpoint of an extraordinary journey. less than a decade ago, this team were in non league and now premier league football is coming to kenilworth road. absolutely amazing. couldn't think of anything better. my dad took me to see luton when i was that high and it is a dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in 1992. they went down just before the riches of the premier league

rebrand. the prize that goes with promotion is £170 million, for this club and its ground, that could be transformative. those plans will come later. for now, luton can celebrate their remarkable rise. joe lynskey, bbc news. so what a story for luton! it's really hard to believe they were playing in the fifth—tier conference just nine years ago after a decade of financial hardship. afterwards though their manager rob edwards said he found it hard to celebrate after watching his captain tom lockyer collapse early in the match. ijust i just feel quite dumb. ijust feel quite dumb. it i just feel quite dumb. it will settle in- — i just feel quite dumb. it will settle in. it _ i just feel quite dumb. it will settle in. it does _ i just feel quite dumb. it will settle in. it does feel- i just feel quite dumb. it will settle in. it does feel good. | i just feel quite dumb. it will| settle in. it does feel good. it i just feel quite dumb. it will - settle in. it does feel good. it was mixed because of locks. i thought thatis mixed because of locks. i thought that is why i couldn't really go for it. i'mjust

all three sides are at home — and all in need of a victory — to stand any chance of keeping their place in england's top division. patrick gearey looks ahead to a nervy day for them. totally committed but completely powerless, the last day relegation battle, the football fans' purgatory, one way a joyous escape, the other, the chasm. commentator: tears are understandable. many everton fans have been here before. '94 then again in '98. nervous afternoons when they stepped off the trapdoors at the last moment. well what they have this time is controll. if they beat bourneouth they stay up. victory would keep the bleak choices of relegation at bay. what might be their last season at goodison park will be played as a premier league team. theyjust need to win. we worked hard to get in this position. two points in front doesn't sound a lot but it is at this stage of the season, as long as we capitalise on it. but all that noise aside, it still comes down ot performing to win. that has been another consistent

message to this team, we go to every game to win a game. lower down, there is even less light. at leicester a world away from a different mayday seven years ago when they became english football's most unlikely champions. now to stay in the division they won they must beat west ham and hope everton lose or draw. it doesn't matter what is going on at other grounds. just win. whatever else is going on elsewhere, we are not in control of, but we have seen how quickly things can change around in the last 15 minutes of games. whether it has been the season or previous seasons. we win our game and then see where it goes. leads are perched closest to the edge. like last season, they begin the day in the bottom three. then, they jumped clear with victory. this time they will have to beat spurs and hope the other two games go their way. perhaps big sam's biggest task. former players like gordon stracham have spoken to the leeds squad this week. allardyce wants to inspire first

pride and then maybe providence. out there they say the gods look after us and all the other results go the right way for us, but winning is the ultimate, winning is the only thing we control and try to control and finish the season with a victory for the fans and for themselves. and then, hopefully after all that, there is a celebration. relegation is a deeper dive than ever. some believe a club's revenue could be hit by as much as £100 million. so much hinges on one performance or several permutation. a day for fear, fortitude and phone signal. patrick gearey, bbc news there were celebrations too for chelsea — as they were crowned champions of the women's super league for the fourth year in a row. that's after they beat reading 3—0 in their final match of the season — a result which also relegates reading. sam kerr scored twice for the away side — and it means they finish just ahead of manchester united —

who beat liverpool 1—0. in the scottish premiership, hearts qualified for the europa conference league next season — after a 1—1 draw with rivals hibernian. while champions celtic rounded off their league season by beating third—placed aberdeen 5—0 — kyogo furuhashi scored twice. celebrations for celtic as they raised the premiership trophy — they can complete a treble if they win the scottish cup final next saturday. and there was a thrilling end to the title race in germany — where leaders borussia dortmund could only draw 2—all at home to mainz on the last day and that allowed bayern munich to snatch the title — as they scored an 89th minute winner to beat cologne — and win the bundesliga for an 11th consecutive season. british cyclist geraint thomas admitted he was devastated as his hopes of winning the giro d'italia slipped away on the penultimate stage. thomas had led the race by 26 seconds heading into the last competitive stage, a mountainous time—trial. but he couldn't hold onto that advantage, he was 40 seconds slower than the slovenian primoz roglic who now will wear the leader's pink jersey on the largely processional final stage into rome later today.

i'm pretty gutted but i said earlier if i were to be told this back in february, march, but now devastated so, but i think once it sinks in we can be proud of what we did and yeah, it is what it is. saracens captain owen farrell insisted that his side "have to keep working" despite winning a sixth premiership title at twickenham. the england captain turned in a man—of—the—match performance, as saracens overcame sale 35 points to 25 to clinch a first title in four years — and their first since they were relegated for salary cap breaches in 2020. sarries triumph comes a year after they suffered a dramatic loss in last year's final to leicester tigers. well earlierjust stop oil protesters forced a stoppage in play. two men invaded the pitch midway through the first half,

throwing orange paint powder on to the field. twickenham stadium later confirmed two men had been arrested and that the incident is now a police matter. meanwhile, in the united rugby championship grand final, munster produced a huge upset to beat the defending champion stormers of south africa on their home turf. the irish side scored the winning try five minutes from full—time — to clinch their first title in 12 years. max verstappen will be favourite to win the monaco grand prix for the second time in his career later today. the formula one world champion pulled off what his red bull boss christian horner said was one of his greatest qualifying laps to claim pole in the principality. he beat fernando alonso to the top spot byjust eight hundredths of a second. his team mate sergio perez — who won last year's race — crashed and will start from last. lewis hamilton was the top british driver and will start from fifth. i knew that i was down and i knew there was not enough for pole coming into the last sector so i clipped a few barriers trying to move the barrier away, but, yeah,

turn 15 work for me this time, it has been a bit unlucky for me in the past but today it was good. of course extremely happy to be on pole here. leigh wood regained the wba featherweight title after beating mauricio lara in manchester. lara beat wood in february but the englishman got his revenge — knocking the mexican down in the second round and going on to win on points via a unanimous decision. wood has now got his eyes on a fight at the home of his beloved nottingham forest. home defence is the only thing that is going to top it. unbelievable, it hasn't sunk in yet but a massive thank you to all the fans making it a night to remember. england's harry hall faltered in his third round at the charles schwab challenge in texas but he still has a share of the lead. two excellent putts on the final two holes, meant he'll be going into today's final round on 10 under par, tied with american adam schenk. hall is looking for his first win on the pga tour. there's been double british success in the latest race at the world triathlon

championship series in italy. and alex yee won the men's race, finishing five seconds ahead of his nearest rival, hayden wilde. jonny brownlee finished in 35th place. the next race in montreal injune. and ukraine's elina svitolina celebrated her first title since becoming a mother — and then donated her prize winnings to help children in her homeland. svitolina beat russia's anna blinkova in straight sets to win the strasbourg open — with the victory coming just seven months after she gave birth to her daughter skai. she only returned to the tour last month. it's her 17th title of her career and first since 2021. . the tennis season is in full swing. lots to look forward to tennis wise but yeah, the premier league later on today, that is where all eyes will be. just league later on today, that is where all eyes will be.— all eyes will be. just provide -- remind us. _ all eyes will be. just provide -- remind us, crucial— all eyes will be. just provide -- remind us, crucial games. - all eyes will be. just provide --| remind us, crucial games. west

for these soldiers from second battalion, the parachute regiment, anything could be waiting behind this door. experience in places like iraq and afghanistan has taught the british army that entering a building in a conflict zone can be extremely dangerous. colchester in essex is home to the elite 16 air assault brigade, the british army's global response force, specially trained and equipped to deploy by parachute, helicopter and air landing — ready to be sent anywhere in the world at a moment's notice and able to perform a wide variety of roles, from warfighting... explosion. ...to providing humanitarian assistance. as a result, the troops here, like the soldiers of 2 para, are constantly training. british military training adapts to new threats all of the time. this might look like

a mannequin that's been repurposed as a target, but this target shoots back. this is 16 air assault�*s new urban training facility. you don't know who indeed is inside those urban areas, whether it be an enemy threat, whether it be a different actor, whether it be civilian. so you need to be aware of all different eventualities. it integrates a host of technologies, including cameras, sensors and speakers which monitor and create environments designed to prepare these paratroopers for real world operations. this facility provides the integration of improvised ied explosions, different noises, dogs barking. it provides all of this realism that the soldiers would face in an urban environment on operations. so it's not only about going into a building knowing that there's going to be enemy threat inside there. it's what else is in there as well. this is called a figure 11 target. it's made of paper and wood, and it's been used by the army

to hone soldiers' marksmanship skills for decades. alert beeps. called sim stryker, this sensor—laden smart target aims to crank up the pressure on troops that it comes up against — notjust by shooting back with small plastic bb. shot! it also simulates as much of the real world experience as possible, even including shouting and alerting the rest of its robotic team in different rooms to the threat posed by human troops training against it. this target is programmed to be able to detect noise and also detect movement. so when the individuals are moving into rooms, whether they're opening doors, if these targets hear anything like that, they become alert. when these targets are then alert, they will then speak to each other. when you're then coming into a room, they're already preprogrammed to know the likelihood of the entrance that you're going to come inside. and as soon as they detect that movement, they will then start to engage towards your direction. if troops are preparing

for a deployment to a specific location, the sights, sounds and even smells that they might find on the ground can be recreated inside this space. all of the walls are modular and can be reconfigured and moved around to create a wide variety of different environments. instructors debrief the soldiers in a nearby control room, analysing their performance and data on the accuracy of their shots, all captured by cameras and sensors in the sim stryker and the training facility. centre of mass for those shots as well, in case they've got body armour... sim stryker and this training centre which is called a smart facility are the work of uk company 4gd. founded by military veterans, the tech they have designed has been informed by their own experience in the field. the physical aspect of this activity sets it apart from purely tech—based training solutions like virtual reality simulators. we really recognise that virtuality offers huge potential when it comes to training, delivery and exposure, but it's got to be applied properly. having people in headsets with gaming controllers,

whilst it can be good for some things, we don't think it's actually representative of the soldier training in a physicalfacility. to change a magazine, for example. it's still a very dexterous skill that requires lots of practice. where we're taking it is being able to blend the virtual world and blend the physical world. so because we collect data inside of our facilities, we can use that data to provide a real—time virtual picture of everything that's happening inside of that facility. from that, we can start to introduce assets like drones, for instance. so it's bringing virtuality into the physical world, i suppose, is what we would do with it. but how do the soldiers themselves feel about being troops trained with the help of all of this tech? as a team leader, it gives you a lot to think about, there's a lot of options as you go through. you've got a lot to consider, with the layout, the best place to put your troops, not to put them at more risk. this sort of kit looks set to become a bigger part of military training. 4gd has a deal with the us army and is preparing to roll out

more training facilities like this one with the british army as well. for the military, in training and in real—world operations, one thing is certain — recent events prove preparation is crucial, as you never know what threat could be around the next corner. now, for many people around the world, subtitles are vital. in fact, you might be using them on screen right now. but the problem is that, most of the time, there isn't a screen in front of us. well, actually, there is quite a lot of the time. but for people that are deaf or hard of hearing, sometimes when they're trying to follow a conversation, it can be challenging. but there are ways to get subtitles when you're out and about. for example, a new app, called xrai glass, can provide them, and importantly, put them right in front of your eyes, using a pair of smart glasses. so we've asked one woman, who's also an elite rugby player, to put them to the test.

my name's jodie ounsley. i'm 22 years old, a professional rugby player for exeter chiefs. i was born premature, and i became ill quite quickly, and then we soon discovered that i was profoundly deaf. the only information that was given was jodie probably won't be able to speak. she'll struggle in education, and herjob prospects will be bleak. of course, we now know that none of that is true. when i was 13 months old, i had a cochlear implant fitted on the right side. it's no cure, it's not normal hearing. itjust allows me to hear some sounds and mostly lip read. as i grew up, i learnt more about my deafness, and obviously, going through school, that's when i sort of faced challenges and struggled a little bit more. and then i discovered rugby, when i was around 15. i thought, we'll take her,

she'll have one session, not like it and that will be out of her system. so we came down here to sandal rugby club in wakefield, and she was too nervous to get out of the car. i was personally more worried about, what if i miss things on the pitch? what if the coaches don't really understand that i'm deaf? or, what if the players don't really know how to react? after some encouragement, she came out, had a session, went really well. couple of years later, here i am, you know, being a professional rugby player. at exerter chiefs, we have a whole range of different players from all over the world, and there's one player, called tricky, who has a very thick irish accent. and even, you know, my hearing team—mates struggle to understand her sometimes, never mind the deaf person! and there were one time we was just having a conversation, we were making a joke saying, 'oh, if only you had live

captions so that we could understand what you were saying'. and i kid you not, literally a couple of days later, i was scrolling through my phone on instagram and then the xrai glasses came up and i saw a reaction video. and i couldn't believe it — i messaged tricky, ! was like, "can you believe this, there's actually subtitle glasses!" it was quite surreal. you get through your life and it is a struggle on a daily basis, but you just crack on. suddenly, to have these glasses, where i'm speaking to someone, and not having to solely concentrate on lip reading, i was able to almost relax a little bit more and just see the subtitles come above me. there's loads of different functions, but the one i mainly use is obviously live captions. so how did you feel seeing me wear the xrai glasses for the first time? first time we tried them, it was quite emotional, really, because, you know, potentially it's a life—changing piece of tech for you to use. and in your sports side of things, fine margins is a big issue. so if it can just give you that edge in understanding analysis, it's going to be

a real benefit to you. we have a software, they upload the training footage or game footage, and then our coaching team will do like a voiceover. obviously you can't see the face, so you just hear the voiceover whilst watching training back. so, there's a couple of really good single shots here from both nash and pops, in terms of getting your feet in close, you tackle height being really positive and a good solid shoulder shot with a good rap. so that's quite difficult for me to pick up sound without being able to lip read. so i feel like i'm focusing more on trying to listen what my coach is saying, rather than focusing on the footage. but obviously with the xrai glasses, i can put the glasses on and obviously watch training as normal. but as my coach is speaking, obviously i get live captions as well. that might sound so simple and so little, but that's like a massive thing for me 'cause then obviously i can

focus on the rugby and not focus on what i'm missing. i think people think that you have to do drastic things to make it easierfor notjust deaf people, but anyone with a disability. it's just little tweaks and just that openness and honesty. and yeah, my teammates have just been brilliant and supportive really. it's so exciting to even see xrai glasses, to see where it is now. they're pretty much at the start of the journey and it's already amazing. so to even think about where they could be in a couple of years' time, it's — it's quite scary but also really exciting to think about. that is it for the shortcut. the full version is ready for you on iplayer. full version is ready for you on ipla er. ~ , . ,, ,, iplayer. we will be back next week. thank ou iplayer. we will be back next week. thank you for— iplayer. we will be back next week. thank you for watching. _

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson.0ur headlines today. from non—league to premier league — it's a fairy—tale ending for luton town.... as they win the championship play—off final it was a game full of drama... which saw luton beat coventry on penalties. the winning teams captain tom lockyer celebrated in his hospital bed after earlier collapsing on the pitch. questions remain over why passport e—gates stopped working — leaving 10s of thousands of passengers stuck in queues at the uk's borders. could the price of basic items of food be capped? the government is discussing plans for a voluntary agreement with supermarkets to help tackle

the rising cost of living. from larking around in school to being crowned britain's funniest class, we'll speak to the 10—year—old behind their winning joke. and it is going to be slightly cooler today for many but the dry story continues and do so through much of the coming week, all the details coming up. it's sunday the 28th of may. our main story. after a dramatic play off final, luton town have been promoted to the premier league — returning to top flight football after more than 30 years. these were the scenes of celebration in the changing room after luton beat coventry in a tense penalty shootout — and now it's hoped the promotion — 14 years after being relegated to the non—league —

will bring investment to the club. it was a dramatic match which ended in penalties after a one all draw at full time. it was heartbreak for coventry after fankaty dabo blasted the ball over the crossbar, sending luton to the premier league for the first time. outside wembley stadium, luton fans were making the most of their team's momentous win. oh, over the moon! absolutely over the moon! getting there from how many years from going back through the conference and things that are going on, they got there. well, a brilliant day out and absolutely out of this world, do you know what i mean? it's just the most amazing feeling. like, the smallest little town and just the biggest win. it's gonna mean so much to so many people. it really is. so exciting. up the town. up the town! the first half, we were all over 'em. the second half was worrying. extra time was even more. penalties was just stressful as anything but we're there! we've done it!

before those scenes of celebration there was concern for luton's captain, tom lockyer, who collapsed on the pitch in the opening stages of the game. tom was rushed to hospital and is now recovering — his dad sent this picture of him reacting to the moment his club became a premier league team. i felt quite ifelt quite numb, i felt quite numb, it ifelt quite numb, it has not settled any yet. it might take a few days but it is great, ed does feel good. it was mixed, ifeel i could not go for it celebrating but i am just so thankful he is ok because thatis just so thankful he is ok because that is all that matters and i was not able to enjoy the celebrations because all i cared about was locks. we'll have more on that incredible win

in our sports bulletin — and we'll be hearing from a couple of delighted luton town fans later in the programme. questions still remain this morning as to why passport e—gates stopped working at major airports across the uk. tens of thousands of passengers were left waiting hours as passports had to be checked manually. the home office says the issue has now been fixed, as vincent mcaviney reports. at the start of a bank holiday weekend and half term it was the last thing these travellers at gatwick airport wanted. queues described by one passenger as an utterjoke. scenes replicated at airports across the uk. severe delays in manchester, where arriving passengers struggle to get through passport control. arrivals at luton also having to have passports checked by hand at heathrow. britain's busiest airport saw some passengers waiting more than three hours. it was absolutely chaos at passport control. i waited something like two and a half hours to get out of the airport.

the home office says it was a failure of the whole uk border system, in particular e—gates, where passengers scan their own passports, which stopped working entirely. this was the worst outage the system has experienced, but the home office refused to explain what exactly had gone wrong as it was too sensitive to say. it's very unusual in my experience. we have had outages at individual terminals and at individual ports of entry in the past, but a systemic outage of this scale for this long is really quite unusual. e—gates also stopped working at the eurostar terminal in paris, causing more disruption. across the country the system is now working again. but saturday was a miserable day for tens of thousands of passengers with the busy summer holidays soon travelers will be hoping the home office uses the next few

weeks to ensure the system holds up. our reporter matt graveling is at heathrow airport this morning. matt — calmer scenes this morning, but questions over whether that'll last? they will, people travelling here today, you saw the scenes there, long queues across the country. after i spoke to you in the last hour i contacted some of the major airports, manchester, luton, gatwick and heathrow and i have heard back from a couple. heathrow said as we are currently aware the gates are functioning and gatwick said they are in full operation and they are back to a stable operation. gatwick told us the problem started on friday night, they were expecting around 800 flights on saturday which

caused long delays. the immigration services union said between 60—80 people, percent of people coming to the uk use e—gates and it was not threat to national security, although the rent delays people were doing it the old—fashioned way going to a desk with an officer manning them. this all changed when biometric passports came in but what is interesting is a couple of years ago inspectors went to the home office and asked what would happen if there was a contingency plan for a catastrophic event and they said they do not expect it to happen. edited happen at the home office say the reason is too sensitive to tell us leaving many people asking why it happened and will it happen again which is a worry ahead of the busy summer holidays. plans are being discussed

for supermarkets to voluntarily cap the price of basic food items to help tackle the rising cost of living. our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, joins us now. damian, this is at very early stages but what more do we know? it is, those latest inflation figures we had a few days ago showing food price inflation at really high levels, a real problem. the government says it recognises that and is trying to think of ways that and is trying to think of ways that things could be done to alleviate it. something already that france has been doing for three months, which the french government has agreed with the big supermarket chains to keep prices of certain basic goods as possible, they have extended that for another three months. here we know the heads of

some of the big supermarket chains met with the government this week and there is a discussion going on about this idea that getting supermarkets voluntarily to try to keep prices as low as possible across some staple items and what has been stressed to us as this is an idea under discussion, it would be voluntary, it would not be a price cap of control and treasury sources are saying this is an ambition, not something that will happen in the very near future. at least one person has died after russia launched an overnight drone attack on ukraine's capital, kyiv. defences shot down more than 40 drones heading towards the city last night. we're joined now by our diplomatic correspondent james landale. james — what more do we know? the ukraine are mixing 52 of the 54

attack drones destroyed, showing the scale of the assault. those are the figures for the country as a whole, and it is an astonishing success rate to get 52 out of 54, it does mean to got through, we are not clear where they landed. authorities are seeing the vast majority targeted here in the capital kyiv, they claim to have shot down over 40 drones. we know one person has died and a few people have been injured by falling debris. we know in the south—west files broke out as a result. some officials are saying this was a deliberate targeting of the capital on the day it celebrates its foundation, 1500 years ago, there will be celebrations in the

street on kyiv day, shows and plays and they think one of the reasons why russia targeted at the capitol in such a scale which they say could have been one of the largest drone attacks since the war began was just to make a point because of kyiv day. itv bosses have denied reports that 'this morning' faces the axe, after phillip schofield resigned and admitted he'd had an affair with a younger colleague. it came hours after host holly willoughby said it was "very hurtful" to discover mr schofield had lied to her about the relationship. in a statement, the network confirmed the show will be back on screen tomorrow. the government is taking over the running of transpennine express trains in the north of england and scotland from today, after months of complaints about delays and cancellations. itjoins six other rail franchises already under state control as peter ruddick reports.

transpennine express, connecting liverpool and manchester in the west with leeds and hull in the east, even travelling as far north as edinburgh and glasgow. it's a vital route for commuters, worth millions to the local economies it passes through. but for passengers, it has been impossible to rely on. pretty dreadful. we've been subject to cancellations, last—minute delays, trains that are always late. waking up in the morning, checking what trains are on and then there's a mad panic with the family, deciding who can make what train, who can take the children to school. and it's been really, really disruptive, actually. between january and march, the operator cancelled more than 20% of the trains it was supposed to run, many at the last minute. it blamed staff sickness, a backlog of driver training and the lack of an overtime agreement with the drivers' union. however, after months of excuses, the government has decided

it is the end of the line. transpennine express will become transpennine trains, run by the state—controlled operator of last resort. it won't happen overnight — i think everybody accepts that — and i think it's a matter with the new team at transpennine trains working the unions, working with staff, getting through some of the operational challenges they've had to deliver the service that passengers deserve and then can start to build trust again for the future. transpennine trains joins a host of other rail franchises under government control. more than one in five train journeys could now be run by nationalised companies. the government says it remains committed to a privately—run rail network but that there is no silver bullet to the challenges facing the industry. peter ruddick, bbc news. voters in turkey are heading to the polls today to decide whether their president should remain in power after 20 years. president erdogan narrowly missed out on a first—round victory two weeks ago. middle east correspondent anna

foster is in istanbul for us this morning. anna, how significant is this second vote? they have not had one of these and turkey before, but last week when they had the first round none of the candidates managed to get over 50% and that was the crucial bout they needed. it could be 50% plus one but nobody got there. president erdogan got close, 49.5% and what both candidates are battling for overly next few hours as polls open as the 5% of votes that went to the third placed candidate. he is an outright or both of them have been particularly pushing policies on immigration and turkey, they have 3 million syrian refugees and both kemal kilicdaroglu and erdogan have

been talking about what they will do. the rhetoric has been a hard line, talking about how many refugees they consent back to syria and how quickly because they both know the 5% of voters are crucial for an going to get over 50% and we are looking at two very different visions of turkey, president erdogan and authoritarian has brought lodging strongly to the country, the mosque behind me was built by him dominating the square. kemal kilicdaroglu has talked about a more secular and less and ijust turkey, talked about democracy and freedom of speech so people see by the end of speech so people see by the end of today which of those visions of a future task voters have chosen. thank you. one thing that struck me there was grey skies and turkey for anyone

trying to get a half term break. not so much here. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. there will be nice here than for many in the southern europe, beautiful skies in dorset, one of the warmest day could get up to 24 but for many cooler than yesterday and for some cloudier. further north in england rather grey in scarborough, drifting south, high—pressure moving in, centred around here, you can see the cloud spilling and pushing south, broken in southern and western areas but on the eastern counties in the cloud setting through the day pushing in across the midlands, thinning and breaking and sports. mist an fog in the south—east will clear, scotland and northern ireland lots of cloud to the north and west but longer

spells of sunshine and the south and east. a bit one—month than yesterday but much of england and wales feeling cooler, particularly on eastern coasts with a strengthening breeze of the chilly sea and noticeable breeze for many through today. n2 tonight a lot of cloud fading and breaking, clear skies and slightly cooler air mass, meaning a chilly night with temperatures and low to mid single figures as we start tomorrow. it will be a cool start tomorrow. it will be a cool start but the high—pressure continues to push in, light winds and the sentence of scotland and northern england and northern ireland, but across the south of the breeze strengthening further having an impact on temperatures. also an eastern england, lots of cloud, some misty and drifting west but breaking up misty and drifting west but breaking up two long spells of sunshine through the day, strong sunshine through the day, strong sunshine through to bank holiday monday and

it will feel warm especially across western areas, eastern england and cooler with a breeze of the sea but the sun still strong overhead as it will be on tuesday, the high—pressure expanding more so winds turning lighter across in god and wales, still fresh in the east and wales, still fresh in the east and south bringing workload but many sunny on tuesday and temperatures are starting to rise across parts of scotland and northern ireland, could hit 25 by this stage, still in the teens across eastern england. through the week the symbol says it all, it will be predominantly dry other than a few isolated showers in the east, very little of no rain through the week and all areas should see temperatures climbing.

it night not be such good weather and the mediterranean, you feel sorry for them and not the best start. it wasn't the best start to the bank holiday for passengers arriving into uk airports — after they were welcomed by rows of broken e—gates.|t meant hours of delays as tens of thousands of arrivals had to be checked manually. let's talk about this with simon calder, the independent�*s travel correspondent. lots of issues at airports and not just one, every airport. to lots of issues at airports and not 'ust one, eve airort. ., . . , just one, every airport. to clean up on outgoing — just one, every airport. to clean up on outgoing flights i _ just one, every airport. to clean up on outgoing flights i was _ just one, every airport. to clean up on outgoing flights i was one - just one, every airport. to clean up on outgoing flights i was one of- on outgoing flights i was one of 30,000 on british airways flights cancelled because of the it problems on thursday which carried on effecting until friday and that was when the problems with the e—gates

materialised. they are very sophisticated and good, most of us breeze through them, the only time we noticed them as when the are not working are only half working and what happens is you put your passport down with the chip which gets read and the sea is that simon calder? is this has passport question or is it valid and as you wanted by interpol and if you pass all the tests then you whisk straight through, much quicker than having a manual inspection and since anybody from the uk are eur america are australia japan can go through it means the vast majority of passengers are automatically processed except from friday night

until yesterday afternoon when suddenly all you gates across all airports stopped working and it meant anonymous queues as everybody was individually checked by border force staff and staffing levels were set assuming the e—gates were working so very messy and stressful for a lot of people. find working so very messy and stressful for a lot of people._ for a lot of people. and no suggestion _ for a lot of people. and no suggestion on _ for a lot of people. and no suggestion on explanation| for a lot of people. and no i suggestion on explanation as to for a lot of people. and no _ suggestion on explanation as to what exactly went wrong. unusual it was not just one exactly went wrong. unusual it was notjust one airport, all airports and even some issues in france. normally this half term getaway you get some problems but the theme has been it this time and at 620 yesterday morning the port of dover said we have problems with french emigration at dover, there is hard you frontier and that because some

delays of up to three hours, that seems to have been sorted as does the arrival problems but in terms of what caused it, lots of speculation online, people saying this was a hack and they are out to get us. i think it is more likely it was a foul up but there will be very serious questions to answer about how all airports can be affected and what this means in terms of resilience going forward. lucky for the --eole resilience going forward. lucky for the people spending _ resilience going forward. lucky for the people spending time - resilience going forward. lucky for the people spending time in i resilience going forward. lucky for the people spending time in the i the people spending time in the accused but at least the issues were this week for people coming into the country, people try to get out so at a sop to the situation is resolved. we very much hope so and that there will be lots of investigation about how you can avoid this happening again. one airport would be unfortunate, on one terminal but to

have them all feeling across the country at once is very serious. the home office says they are looking into it and everybody was properly checked as they should be and if you had to wait they are sorry about thatis had to wait they are sorry about that is what needed to happen. the troubles in northern ireland 25 years ago led to the deaths of thousands — hundreds of which still remain unsolved. but a controversial bill investigating the killings could lead to answers. most victims' groups strongly oppose the legislation, as it grants a conditional amnesty to former members of paramilitaries and state forces if they co—operate. our ireland correspondent chris page has been speaking to the minister lord caine, who hopes the bill will win more support, and to those who lost relatives during the years of violence. the question of how to deal with hundreds of unsolved killings

in northern ireland is complex and contentious. the government is setting up a new independent commission to investigate deaths. the most controversial part of the plans is that suspects could give information about killings in return for a guarantee they wouldn't be prosecuted. there'll also be an end to inquests and civil court cases related to the conflict. the minister taking the legislation through parliament says the passage of time means successful prosecutions are unlikely. you have to ask yourself what are the things that we can most practically do or practically do for victims and survivors at this distance from the troubles? and i think getting as much information to those families that want it in a timely manner, you know, is probably the best thing that we can hope to achieve.

about 3500 people died during the troubles and the legacy still felt an northern ireland. six ofjenniferjordan's relatives were murdered by the ira, including herfather, clifford lundy. all the men were in the security forces. she says no killers should be protected from criminal charges. if someone, a murderer, comes and tells a story like and then they're allowed to go free. what does that do for me as an innocent victim? i'm still left with the trauma of my family, especially my father, you know? so it looks to me now if the murderer is rewarded. the innocent victim is tramped further into the ground. this man has a similar opinion. raymond mccord's son, who was also called raymond, was murdered by loyalist paramilitaries.

i mean, no amnesty for murders. they must have prosecutions. they have to have inquests and civil actions. everything that a normal society takes as normal the british government want to take it away from us. lord caine says he's working on changes to the legislation. the areas that i'm looking at are making sure that the the bill is very clear, that reviews can include criminal investigations to a standard that meets our international obligations. i'm looking at measures to bolster the and boost the independence of the commission. the government hopes to pass the new law before the summer recess. most campaigners are demanding the bill is scrapped, not amended. the issue may be about the past, but politically it's very present. chris paige, bbc news, belfast.

more than a century ago, police dogs first started working with officers here in the uk — specifically to help catch criminals on the docks. they paved the way for generations more, whose roles would be developed to tackle everything from illegal drugs to terrorism. lizzie rose went to meet the newest canine recruits at humberside police. jesse is one of the patrol dogs. guarding the 2500 acres of hull's sprawling docklands. in the early 1900s police in hull were leading the way in the use of police dogs and they remain valuable members of the force. some things have changed, other things have stayed very, very similar. like on the footage, it says that each dog will remain with one handler throughout which we keep. we don't swap dogs around. and the exercise is that they were practising on the docks very much the same chase and detain of suspects searching for people outstanding property searches. we still do that today.

methods have changed slightly. we're looking at something that's eighty years old, but ultimately we're looking at the same fundamentals. and the success of those dogs on hull's docks all those years ago pave the way for the newest recruits of 2023 who were now in training. first exercise that we've seen is tracking exercise, which was with my dog. that shows the the ability for them to track human scent to either a suspect or a missing person, for instance. come out of the bushes slowly and movements of dogs will bite you. so in the exercise that they're doing now, i'm the suspect or missing person who's hiding at height and it's skye and her handler�*s job to find me. and skye'sjust found me and is looking at me like that was far too easy. humberside police has over 20 dogs and unlike the early days they now have a variety of roles. not only do we have the general

purpose dog to have the specialist dogs as well, that can help investigation teams so we can find drugs, cash, weapons, money, explosives. so dogs are so much value to every incident that you go to. if you ask officers on the street if they're dealing with violent people, large scale disorder, or even searching for missing people, they can do the job a lot quicker. so bite work is not the be all and end all. as soon as you say police dogs, people automatically think of chasing detain which is part of the police dogs role to hold a fleeing criminal. these dogs will work for several years before retiring with their handlers or into new homes. we're also very mindful that we want the dogs to be able to retire and have some life after working for the force. after all the commitment that they make. and i can confirm that police dog or pd yaga and the team very powerful are working hard in class. lizzie rose reporting there. have actually done that? i followed

a litter of police _ have actually done that? i followed a litter of police dog _ have actually done that? i followed a litter of police dog puppies i have actually done that? i followed a litter of police dog puppies and i a litter of police dog puppies and training and it was interesting and terrifying. very skilled police officers. what a day for luton town. football sides it would have been an incredible story but for luton themselves several years since they were top flight. you see how much it means the players. the people running the club now are all invested and all loving it because they are luton through and through. they were relegated from the old first division just around 30 years ago, missing out on the highly lucrative premier league money but now have their place back after

eating coventry in dramatic style in the championship play—off final. joe lynskey was watching. luton town! the premier league has its newest addition, the team who for nine years have just kept rising. in 2014, luton town were in the fifth tier, now they have won their sport's most lucrative match. five years ago luton and coventry met in league two, now one would reach the top flight. in these high—stakes, luton stuck to their plan. they go direct to their talent up top where elijah adebayo set up jordan clark. three years ago he joined them from accrington stanley, now luton had take—off. but coventry too have scouted out stars. gustavo hamer dragged them back into this game, 1—1, so extra time. luton's joe taylor thought this would take them up but it was ruled

out by var. excruciating, exhilarating. this play—off went to penalties, where luton struck a perfect six and on sudden—death, for coventry, it would be cruel. commnetator: despair for him, delight for luton. as luton went up, they were watched by their captain. tom lockyer had been stretchered off in the first half but from hospital joined in with his team's piece of history. these luton fans now head back to their town at what is the highpoint of an extraordinary journey. less than a decade ago, this team were in non league and now premier league football is coming to kenilworth road. absolutely amazing. couldn't think of anything better. my dad took me to see luton when i was that high and it is a dream come true. luton were last in the top flight in 1992. they went down just before the riches of the premier league rebrand. the prize that goes with promotion is £170 million, for this club and its ground, that

could be transformative. those plans will come later. for now, luton can celebrate their remarkable rise. joe lynskey, bbc news. i'm joined now by nick owen, who was chair of the club from 2008 to 2017 — and by kev harper, from luton town supporters' trust. how does it feel? what does it feel being back in the top flight? i am buzzin: , being back in the top flight? i am buzzing. still— being back in the top flight? i —ii buzzing, still pinching myself and cannot believe it after what we've been through. a group of guys got together in 2008 to try to save the club on the brink of bankruptcy and we ended up in the confidence and however ambitious those investors where they would never thought we would get to the premier league so quickly, it isjust would get to the premier league so quickly, it is just beyond belief, we are thrilled. quickly, it isjust beyond belief, we are thrilled.— we are thrilled. kevin, what are our we are thrilled. kevin, what are your thoughts? _

to the championship. all three sides are at home. leicester & leeds are most in peril. they�* re two points adrift of safety ahead of their matches against west ham and spurs. everton go into their game against bournemouth knowing that a win would guarantee survival. we've worked hard to get in this position. the two points in front, it doesn't sound a lot but it is at this stage of the season, as long as we capitalise on it. with all that noise aside, it still comes down to performing to win, that's been another consistent message to this team. we go every game to to win a game. —— we go into every game to win a game. it's not that easy, we've seen that, but that's our mentality is going to win the game. it can have a massive impact on how we play and what we do, and having home advantage is a massive impact, so i expect, i fully expect our supporters to be behind us and our players are playing to have them off their feet. winning is the ultimate, winning's the only thing we control

and try and control, and finish the season with a victory for the fans and for themselves and then hopefully after all that there is a celebration. there were celebrations too for chelsea as they were crowned champions of the women's super league for the fourth year in a row. that's after they beat reading 3—0 in theirfinal match of the season — a result which also relegates reading. sam kerr scored twice for the away side and it means they finish just ahead of manchester united — who beat liverpool i—0. in the scottish premiership, hearts qualified for the europa conference league next season after a 1—1 draw with rivals hibernian,w hile champions celtic rounded off their league season by beating third—placed aberdeen 5—0. kyogo furuhashi scored twice. celebrations for celtic as they raised the premiership trophy — they can complete a treble if they win the scottish cup final next saturday. british cyclist geraint thomas admitted he was devastated as his hopes of winning the giro d'italia slipped away on the penultimate stage. thomas had led the race by 26 seconds heading into the last competitive stage, a mountainous time—trial. but he couldn't hold onto that advantage, he was a0 seconds slower than the slovenian primoz roglic who now will wear the leader's pink

jersey on the largely processional final stage into rome later today. i'm pretty gutted but i said earlier if i had been told this back in february or march i would probably have bitten your hand off but now i'm devastated. but i think once it sinks in i can be proud of what we did, and, yeah, it is what it is. saracens captain owen farrell insisted that his side"have to keep working despite winning a sixth premiership title at twickenham. the england captain turned in a man—of—the—match performance as saracens overcame sale 35 points to 25 to clinch a first title in four years — and their first since they were relegated for salary cap breaches in 2020. sarries' triumph comes a year after they suffered a dramatic loss in last year's final to leicester tigers. and earlierjust stop oil protesters forced a stoppage in play. two men invaded the pitch midway through the first half, throwing orange paint powder onto the field.

twickenham stadium later confirmed two men had been arrested and that the incident is now a police matter. max verstappen will be favourite to win the monaco grand prix for the second time in his career later later today. the formula one world champion pulled off what his red bull boss christian horner said was one of his greatest qualifying laps to claim pole in the principality. he beat fernando alonso to the top spot byjust eight hundredths of a second. his team mate sergio perez — who won last year's race — crashed and will start from last. lewis hamilton was the top british driver and will start from fifth. and ukraine's elina svitolina celebrated her first title since becoming a mother and then donated her prize winnings to help children in her homeland. svitolina beat russia's anna blinkova in straight sets to win the strasbourg open, with the victory coming just seven months after she gave birth to her daughter, skai. she only returned to the tour last month. it's her 17th title of her career and first since 2021. and the french open starts tomorrow.

the big focus today will be the premier league. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. lots of sunshine in paris as we have this morning in glasgow. a dry day here and a dry week ahead. the rainfall, barely a splash of rain for the uk and ireland but anyone heading for the half term break towards the south of europe and the mediterranean are in for wet weather at times because to go with the dry weather comes lots of sunshine here and the temperatures will climb and mid week could see them at 2425 degrees for some. that is what is coming up during the week ahead. the area of high pressure bringing that dry weather is nosing its way and. we are on the eastern flank at the moment so winds coming round in this direction bringing in slightly cooler air and also a little more

cloud around particularly through parts of eastern england. that cloud will nudge south through the day and extend through the midlands. cloud to north west of scotland and north ireland but the south will see increasing sunshine later and southern counties of england and at the west blue skies for the most part. warmest today towards devon and dorset, 2a degrees and much cooler down the eastern coasts of england especially in the breeze will pick up. into tonight a lot of that cloud around through the day will start to melt away. the mornings and nights will be rather cool mornings and nights will be rather cool. temperatures could get down to low single figures and a touch of frost in one or two spots as we go into monday. very isolated but a fresh start to the bank holiday. with high pressure and charge it means we continue with the trite story. the high pressure establishes itself over scotland and northern ireland and northern england, to the north, shetland will have a bit of

breeze and the home counties and channel islands will see windy conditions through monday and tuesday which will make it feel cooler, especially with low cloud drifting in off the north sea which will break up from many anticipate. whilst cloud in northern scotland many will stay dry and clear. the wind crossing southern areas will have an impact on temperatures and it will be limited to the low mid—teens for some coastal strips and warmest to the west with a bit of shelter and scotland and northern ireland are warming up under blue skies on monday and further on tuesday with a potential high of 25.

a plea for help now from a museum looking for a new home for 150 tonnes of exhibits. the norwich printing museum closed four years ago, and volunteers are desperate to find somewhere to house their extensive collection of presses to make sure they're not lost forever. debbie tubby reports. hidden away on a norfolk farm is a slice of history, an insight into the world of printing and times gone by. this is the bulk of the collection of what is thought to be one of the finest working printing museums in the uk, now in storage. the first presses were based on a wine press. with the industrial revolution, they became made of cast—iron until we have for more modern day presses. this example is from the 20th century. gerry morris was 15 years old when he started a six—year apprenticeship as a compositor,

someone who sets type. it's a slice of history we can't afford to lose because once it is gone, it is gone and it spread literally across the world from ili50. now, ok, we have modern—day media but we should never forget the beauty of the original craft. before it became mechanised, monks would inscribe words by hand. by the 1400s, movable type was invented and the start of printing. expressions used in the industry are still used today. so, when you are compiling a word you would use a lead letter, it would be put left to right and upside down. p's and 0's would be quite complicated and that is where the phrase comes from, mind your p's and 0's. once you've got your words, you use a coin to keep them together and that is where the saying comes from, coining a phrase. these items were born from the early days of gerald's printworks, its original home

demolished for housing. a few of the treasures are on display on the brickling estate, but the museum needs a larger home. this exhibition of donated prints hopes to raise funds to help pay for it. the building we are looking for has to be a large building because it is a very large and important collection and it has to have a strong floor because we have a lot of heavy machinery, about 150 tonnes of machinery, we think, so it has to be a good industrial sort of building and it has to have good access to bring large machinery in. they're passionate about preserving the print industry's past otherwise it could be lost forever. that report from debbie tubby.

glenn sent in my uncle holds the world record for the number of pigeons landing on him, what a ledge. and another one from glenn, i always put my specialjacket i want to take the bins out. it's my waste coat. the year five students came up with a pun that's won them the title of britain's funniest class, in the beano comic�*s annual competition. mel duffy has been to meet them. all: what happened to the maths teacher's garden? year five's winning joke that has seen them crowned britain's funniest class. the person who penned the pun, ten—year—old ollie. i thought, like, most of the people in our class love maths.

so i started to make it up and then i thought of, what happened to the maths teacher's garden? and then ijust had to find the punch line. they are a really funny bunch, they are always cracking jokes in lessons, sometimes too much, but they are really all very funny. as part of their prize, the whole class has been turned into a cartoon by the comic. each pupil has been drawn by one of their artists and they're in this week's edition. it is quite shocking to think that our classes actually won a beano competition. i never thought i was actually going to be like this big and it was like on the news and stuff. i thought it was just going to be like in the comics but it is really cool. amazing, really. just speechless. when we saw ourselves in the beano for the first time we were both so excited, we were all so excited. we just put in a little joke to have a go and it has turned out be this massive thing to celebrate.

it's been incredible. we were shocked, we were elated. obviously, there was the funny side of it but also as the head teacher, it was just so good for the school to be acknowledged for something that we work hard on with the curriculum, we work really hard on reading, and it hasjust brought the community together. theirjoke attracted a 52% of the votes, over 21,000 people voted for it before they were selected winners by the beano's humour experts. so what did happen to the maths teacher's garden? all: it grew square roots. of course it grew square roots. mel duffy, bbc news. olly, the writer of the winning joke joins us now with his head teacher, michelle bates. how does it feel? i describable
