it's wednesday 31st may. rail passengers are facing disruption this morning, as more than 12,000 train drivers walk out in a row over pay and working conditions. it's the start of several days of industrial action on the rail network, which will affect people travelling to this weekend's epsom derby and the fa cup final. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. once again, train services have come to a stop in many parts of the country. this music bar in london thinks punters staying away during rail strikes has already cost it about three quarters of a million pounds. it's another blow on top of the pandemic and cost—of—living pressures. nothing has hit us harder than the train strikes. the train strikes are crippling to the business, and we're in a time when we're already seeing so many businesses on a knife edge and up against the wall. we need a period of stability. today's action by train drivers

in the aslef union is the first of three strike days this week. around 20,000 rail workers in the rmt at 1a train companies are due to walk out on friday. and then drivers have another strike on saturday. it means disrupted travel plans for many people — including those heading to big events, like saturday's fa cup final, or days out over half—term. the drivers�* union, aslef, has already rejected a 4% pay rise for two years in a row — dependent on big changes to ways of working — as unacceptable. it says drivers are being asked to give up working conditions for a wage increase that's far below inflation, and its leader has warned industrial action could escalate. our members are in this for the long haul. we've been into this for the best part of two years, they've been solid, we've currently got at least ten of our ballots out for rebalancing under the tory legislation, and we expect those to come back with high turnouts and high percentages again to go forward. for us it's existential.

industry negotiators have called the disruption unnecessary and damaging. and the government, which has sign—off on any deal, has described the latest offer as fair and reasonable. at the moment, there's no sign of a breakthrough — and without one, we could be looking at another summer of strikes on the railway. katy austin, bbc news. a failed north korean satellite launch has prompted south korea and japan to warn millions of people to prepare to evacuate or seek shelter. siren. the launch of the rocket initially caused sirens to go off in the south korean capital seoul — but the warnings were quickly dropped after it became clear that it had crashed. let's talk to our seoul correspondentjean mackenzie. i guess, as the hours go by, we are beginning to get a sense of what has happened. bring us up to date,

please. happened. bring us up to date, lease. , , ., , , please. yes, but of course this mornin: please. yes, but of course this morning started _ please. yes, but of course this morning started with _ please. yes, but of course this morning started with real - please. yes, but of course this | morning started with real panic please. yes, but of course this - morning started with real panic and confusion here in seoul, when millions of people in the city were awoken by that air raid siren. this is not common in seoul. many people here will never have had an air raid siren before. then what followed was these emergency messages being played out of loudspeakers, telling people to prepare for an evacuation, and then suddenly people were told minutes later that it had all been a mistake. what happened was that north korea had fired a missile which contained a spy satellite that it wanted to put into orbit in space, but that launch failed, the rocket exploded and fell into the sea so it never came anywhere near south korea. now this is a big disappointment for the north korean leader who has been working to develop this technology and on this launch for a very long time. north korea currently doesn't have a spy satellite in space, unlike the us,

russia, china, japan, that all have satellite monitoring the korean peninsular. that puts north korea at a military disadvantage. it says it will try again in the near future to try again. the question is how will the south korean government and people here respond to the next near emergency? this false alarm could cause people to go one of two ways will stop some people are saying that because of this it has really made them think and they want to be better prepared next time, but fear is that for others, the false alarm will mean that when a real emergency does arise they may be less likely to respond. does arise they may be less likely to remind-— does arise they may be less likely to resond. ., ., ., ~ to respond. indeed. for now, thank ou ve to respond. indeed. for now, thank you very much _ to respond. indeed. for now, thank you very much indeed, _ to respond. indeed. for now, thank you very much indeed, jean. - after days of drone attacks on ukraine's capital — and accusations of a retaliatory strike in moscow — it's been a quiet night in the region. yesterday, russia was targeted by multiple drones for the first time since the start of the war. 0ur diplomatic correspondentjames

landale is in kyiv this morning. good morning. ukraine continuing to deny any connection, responsibility for the strikes yesterday.— for the strikes yesterday. yeah, that's right- _ for the strikes yesterday. yeah, that's right. it _ for the strikes yesterday. yeah, that's right. it is _ for the strikes yesterday. yeah, that's right. it is denying - that's right. it is denying responsibility but i wouldn't describe it as a full throated denial. if you look at some of the statements from officials they say things like, well, we have no direct involvement in it, and that leaves open a wealth of possibilities. but this is their usual position of these things, whenever there are attacks in russian territory itself, the ukrainian authorities tend not to confirm or deny either way. and it is something that happens relatively frequently. not obviously in moscow, that is definitely unusual. any kind of drone strikes there. but overnight, for example, there. but overnight, for example, there have been reports of shelling from the ukrainian side into parts of southern russia, where there are military positions. equally, a report of an attack on an oil

refineryjust in the russian side. this is what happens, this war has been going on for 15 months. although we focus on specific things like an attack in moscow or maybe the battle in bakhmut, there is a calamity plus front line wet night after night there is shelling on either side. this is the what and weft of normal warfare, but as you say, for once we had a relatively quiet night. say, for once we had a relatively quiet night-— say, for once we had a relatively quiet night. james, good to hear, thank ou quiet night. james, good to hear, thank you very — quiet night. james, good to hear, thank you very much _ quiet night. james, good to hear, thank you very much indeed. - parents on universal credit will be able to claim hundreds of pounds more, to cover childcare costs from the end ofjune. the government says anyone receiving the benefit will be able to claim back £951 for one child and £1,630 for two or more children — that's a 47% increase. the scheme applies across england, scotland and wales and was announced in the chancellor's spring budget. households with prepayment meters are being urged to use the voucher they were given to help with bills, before it expires at the end ofjune. most vouchers have been cashed,

but the government says £130 million has still gone unclaimed. every household was given £400 to help cope with higher fuel costs, often as a discount on direct debit payments. one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence says he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which the technology would evolve. professor yoshua bengio has called for greater regulation and urged caution about the future risks of ai. his comments come after experts said the technology could lead to the extinction of humanity. the princes trust has dropped phillip schofield as an ambassador as he admitted to having an affair with a younger colleague and lie to cover it up. the charity, founded by the king, said it was no longer

appropriate to work with the presenter. phillip schofield released a statement about the relationship and announced he was leaving itv last week. meanwhile, itv bosses will face a televised grilling by mps, over what they knew about phillip schofield's relationship with a younger colleague. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. what do we know about this here in? it is next week?— it is next week? good morning. it is due to be next _ it is next week? good morning. it is due to be next week. _ it is next week? good morning. it is due to be next week. this _ it is next week? good morning. it is due to be next week. this has - it is next week? good morning. it is due to be next week. this has been| due to be next week. this has been in the diary for a while. it is supposed to be mps on this committee looking into new legislation around broadcasting. but it's been made pretty clear by some members of the committee that they want to use the opportunity of having itv executives in front of them to grill them on what has happened over the past couple of weeks and the situation over at phillip schofield's resignation and then leaving itn completely. i want to read you what john nicolson, who is one of the

members of the committee, said late last night. he said that recent issues at itn had been a cause for concern and he looked forward to getting answers. 0bviously concern and he looked forward to getting answers. obviously we know that phillip schofield left and that itn accused him of not telling the truth about a relationship with a colleague. so i think this could be quite a big moment, actually, where mps try to put these executives on the spot and try to get to the bottom of what exactly was going on at the corporation and at this morning. at the corporation and at this morninu. ., ~ ,, let's go straight to carol, who is bringing the sunshine and lots of gorgeous blue sea and sky. will it be like that for all of us? 140. gorgeous blue sea and sky. will it be like that for all of us?- be like that for all of us? no, it's not. not be like that for all of us? no, it's not- not at _ be like that for all of us? no, it's not. not at all. _ be like that for all of us? no, it's not. not at all. good _ be like that for all of us? no, it's not. not at all. good morning. i a cloudy start to the day and the weather is stuck on repeat, notjust today but for the next few days. this is what you can expect. largely dry, the warmest and sunniest conditions in the west but it will

always be cool and cloudy in the east, and that cloud at times, like this morning, thick enough for spots of drizzle. we have extensive cloud around this morning. some clear skies in parts of the north west. as we go through the day, a lot of the cloud will be eroded back towards the east coast. you can see this thing across the midlands heading down towards the south—east wales. temperatures up to about 2k, passively 26 today around the glasgow area, but along the north sea coastline, adding the notes estuaries, it will feel quite cool. 13 to 15 degrees, even though you cannot see 13 on the chart. we see across southern counties, as yesterday, and through the english channel. just taking the edge of those temperatures. quite quickly through the evening, more cloud ramps in from the north sea, we hang on to the cloud across the northern and western isles, still breezy, and across the west with clearer skies there will be some mist around, with temperatures not falling away too

much. tomorrow we start off on a dull note with a fair bit of cloud around rather like the last few days. it's nice to push back to the north sea coastline but look in the afternoon. temperatures ten to 20 degrees. in perhaps northern ireland and western scotland we could reach higher than that. looks lovely. thank you very much. thank you. russia has been accused of multiple war crimes since it invaded ukraine — but it was allegations of the illegal deportation of children, that led to an international arrest warrant being issued for vladimir putin. 0ur eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has been to meet one mother whose son was taken by russian forces. tatyana makes the most of every minute with sasha, now her son is safe with her in germany. because last year, he was taken from his school in ukraine by russian soldiers.

his mother had to travel deep into enemy territory to rescue him. forced separation would be upsetting for any child, but sasha has special needs — and for someone so vulnerable, it was deeply unsettling. he tells me how armed russian soldiers in balaclavas came to his school that day, loaded him and 12 other children onto buses, and drove off with them. translation: to be honest, it was pretty scary. _ i didn't know where they were taking us. sasha then had no contact at all with his mum for six weeks. i ask how hard that was. translation: yes. to be honest, it's too distressing to even remember. ukraine believes more than 19,000 children have been moved to russia

since this war began. russia claims it's just protecting the children. but russia's president is now a wanted man. the international criminal court has accused him of the illegal deportation of ukrainian children. i asked tatyana what she made of that charge. translation: it's not only putin who should be put on trial. - it's all the main people — the commanders, all of them — for what they did to the children. what right did they have? they knew it was impossible for us to get them back, and they didn't care. and tetyana showed me new evidence of how those children are treated. tetyana just showed me this photograph, and these kids here are classmates of sasha, of her son.

and look at them here in this russian—run school — they've got military uniforms and they've got these zs on their sleeves. these are the symbols of russia's war on their country. line rings. so i called the woman in charge of that school. i wanted to know about the z mark. the ukrainian children dressed as russian soldiers. "so what if they were?" the school director shot back at me. "what kind of question is that?" moments later, the line cut out. line beeps. sasha has told me five children taken with him still haven't been returned to their families. because russia doesn't make it easy — even when vladimir putin has been indicted for their removal as a suspected war criminal. sarah rainsford, bbc news.

you can see more on that story on the bbc iplayer in the film ukraine: the missing children. let's take a look at today's papers. the mirror reports itv executives are set to face questions from mps over what they knew and when about this morning presenter phillip schofield's affair with a younger male colleague. feminist academic professor kathleen stock is pictured on the front of the times, arriving for a talk at oxford university with bodyguards whilst trans—rights protestors gathered outside. she said she was very determined for the torque to go ahead despite the protest. the i newspaper reports on warnings from tech experts about artificial intelligence — they say the technology could result in human extinction, and worry it could be used to build weapons of mass destruction.

bye! so here we are outside wogan house, the home of bbc radio two. so here we are outside wogan house, the home of bbc radio 2. harrison, it's about to happen. yeah. your dreams are about to come true. yeah. you're about to meet michael ball. did he manage to get any sleep last night, mum? he hasn't slept for weeks. as soon as he found — you know, when you told him on the radio, i don't think he slept. he keeps going, "am i seeing a real — the real michael ball?" right, guys, let's go in and let's make your dreams come true. oooh! don't go to me "best past its sell—by date", either — we want really quality stuff. right, time to turn dreams into reality. harrison? yay! how are you, kid? making people happy. yeah. that's what we do, isn't it? we try and make people happy because people in the hospital, you know, we don't know what they're going through. they're always — they're away from home they're a bit lonely.

through the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. services in and out of the capital will be significantly disrupted today, as train drivers begin three three days of strike action. there will be no trains on southeastern southern, thameslink and the gatwick express. it's all part of the long running dispute over pay, pensions and conditions involving members of the driver's union aslef. rmt members will walk out on friday, and there will be further strikes on saturday. the advice it to check before you travel. if people are out and about over the next few days, we are encouraging people to please do check before you travel. we've got a refund policy in place, as well. so if you have booked a ticket for a strike day and decide

not to travel, you can of course get a refund, or you can actually travel on an alternative day. those tickets will still be valid. figures obtained by the bbc show more than £900,000 has been spent on an empty building owned by essex county called shire hall. shire hall in chelmsford in the 11 years since it closed. the majority of the cash has gone on maintenance and repair work, but £66,000 was also spent on heating, despite it being lying vacant for the last 11 years. essex county council says the heating is kept on at a low level to protect the grade two listed building from damp and mould. the owners of london irish have been given an extra week to sell the rugby club, which is £30 million in debt. the rugby football union has said the premiership side risks suspension from the league next season. the club are currently in talks with an american consortium over its sale.

let's see how the tubes is looking at this time of the morning. and for all the latest travel particularly on this strike day, head to your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather. hello there, good morning. the weather stays pretty similar as we head through the rest of the week. high pressure keeps us dry and settled, but we are set to stay with the north—easterly wind. there will be some areas of cloud around at times, especially through the mornings, but also some sunshine. in the best of the sunshine it is pleasantly warm. the temperatures won't be spectacularly high, but uv levels are high and pollen levels moderate to high, as the week progresses. this morning, very similar to what it was yesterday. a rather cloudy start.

the cloud will slowly burn back towards the east as we head through the morning. and into the afternoon there should be a lot of sunshine around right across the capital. temperatures a bit higher than they were yesterday. we are more widely being 19 to maybe even 21 celsius. we still have the strength of that north—easterly wind. not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. this evening and overnight we will get plenty of cloud pushing for the west once again into thursday morning. thursday, once again the sunshine will eventually emerge. and it's looking similar for the rest of the week. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. the boss of jaguar land—rover is said to be on the verge of finalising a deal with the government, to build a multi—billion—pound electric car battery plant in the uk. ben is looking at this for us this morning. yes, it's been described by some as the most significant investment in the uk car industry

since the 1980s. let me explain why some have reached that conclusion. good morning. the plan is to build a huge factory in bridgwater in somerset. it'll make batteries for electric cars. it's thought 9,000 jobs will be created. jaguar land rover�*s owner, tata, was reportedly considering another site in spain. so this is being seen as a big win for the uk. tata's chairman is expected to meet the prime minister this week, to finalise a deal. it is profoundly significant. it's significant in the sense that, without it, the future for uk car manufacturing would start to look extremely bleak. so bridgwater is an interesting location. they of course had hinkley point c being constructed — still being constructed — for the last ten years, and that's built a lot of specialised construction capacity and some skilled employment in the area. and i do wonder if that's a key — been a key factor in the decision—making around

this specific location. the uk's car industry employs 800,000 people, and the government says it understands the need to invest in battery manufacturing to secure the sector's future. so far, there's only one battery plant operating in the uk and one other in the planning stage. by contrast, the eu has 35 open, under construction or planned. and last week, stellantis — one of the world's biggest car—makers — warned it may have to close uk factories if the government does not renegotiate the brexit deal. the firm, which owns vauxhall, peugeot, citroen and fiat, warned a previous commitment to make electric cars here was now under threat. so many will be hoping a deal with tata will help secure the industry's future here in the uk. but it comes with a big price tag. it's been reported that the total sum of incentives and subsidies runs into hundreds of millions of pounds.

then, thank you. big numbers. john easier with these board. —— with these board. you would think things would be coming down with the season coming to a close. we have got the champions league final, we have got the fa cup final. and today, significantly, sarina wiegman, the england women's coach, will announce the squad for the upcoming world cup. is everything feeling as if it is going on a long time because we had the winter world cup?— the winter world cup? partly. and in euros last summer. _ the winter world cup? partly. and in euros last summer. england - the winter world cup? partly. and in euros last summer. england winningj euros last summer. england winning it. we are already talking about another world cup on the horizon. players will be waiting anxiously in the hope they will be paid. there will be a few surprises. this have

you ever see me play football? good morning. in just over seven weeks' time, the women's world cup begins. and today, those hoping to lift the trophy for england will find out if they've secured a spot on the plane. head coach sarina wiegman announces her squad at two o'clock this afternoon, and she's got some decisions to make. there'll be no place for captain leah williamson or fran kirby, who are both injured, while beth mead and millie bright are both doubts. that could mean recalls for defender steph houghton and striker beth england, but there could be some surprises too. to the men's euro 2024 qualifiers, and wales have named david brooks in their squad for the first time since he recovered from cancer. neco williams is also included for the matches against armenia and turkey, despite being out of action since april with a broken jaw. brooks was diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma in october 2021, and this march he played his first game for bournemouth in 536 days. luton captain tom lockyer has been left out though, as he continues to recover after collapsing in luton�*s

play—off final win against coventry on saturday. jose mourinho has taken a swipe at his old club tottenham ahead of tonight's europa league final. his side roma take on sevilla, and mourinho was eager to point out he's won all five european finals he's been involved in. he says he just needs to be given the time to succeed. in roma they didn't sack me before the final in tirana, and in tottenham they sack me before the final at wembley. roma gave me the chance to win the final at tirana. and at tottenham i had had no chance. britain's last remaining hope in the singles at the french open is in action today. cameron norrie takes on lucas pouille of france

in the second round. novak djokovic is also in action. there was a huge upset yesterday at roland garros, with number two seed dannil medvedev knocked out by brazilian qualifier thiago seyboth wild. the world number 172 won in five sets. in the women's draw, no problems for the world number one iga swiatek. she tookjust over an hour to beat spain's cristina busca in straight sets, and will play america's claire liu next. financial problems continue to make the headlines in rugby union, as london irish's future hangs in the balance. the team had been granted a week's extension to complete a takeover for the club, on the condition that the players wages would be paid in full by today. however, it emerged last night that the club's ownership has offered to only pay 50% of salaries. it's now up to the rfu to decide on whether they will grant the extension, given the conditions of the reprieve have not been met. i think it would be devastating for the fans, more so probably for the club. there are people whose livelihoods are at stake. and i think that's what we always

have to remember first and foremost, like any sport, it becomes part of identity for a lot of people as well. so it will be felt really keenly, and all the more so because we've seen it happens to other teams in the last eight months. and finally, how best to celebrate a successful season. a trophy lift, maybe a bus parade? but after a fourth women's super league title in a row, chelsea's achievements have been recognised like this. a mural on the famous portobello road in west london. it features norway international guro reiten, who scored in the final day win over reading that ensured their season ended in record—breaking fashion. we love a mural. you know you have made it when you get a mural. we will probably see more again. as the women's euros we saw murals and they won. when we were in world cup, you never know. the bus parade is the classic cell. you can't be them. city will have

one of those as well. thank you. best known for his portraits of kate moss and the queen, celebrity photographer rankin has now turned his lens on nhs workers. to celebrate 75 years of nhs charities, a new exhibition will feature photos of staff, volunteers and patients, alongside some other famous faces. john maguire is at the saachi gallery for us this morning. just literally putting the finishing touches to the exhibition, which would be here untiljune the 11th. do come along and have a look. absolutely fascinating. you recognise a couple of famous faces among these people. it is a combination of people who work in the nhs for nhs charities, volunteers, and people who have

benefited from some of the services as well. the name of the exhibition is love and charity, history of giving in the nhs. the charitable part of the nhs is 75 years old just as the services itself. so, since day one, the charity has been involved in the and very, very very varied work that takes place. the portraits look wonderful. we spent the day with rankin and his team as they took these pictures. absolutely fascinating to see how they worked, what people thought of them. we will find out from a couple of the model is what they thought. how he captures their story, what they do, contribution they make. and what a vital it is. anyone who's anyone has looked down the barrel of rankin�*s camera lens. today, there's an england footballer, a python and a member of the sensational six. but more on them later. the portraits are a celebration of 75 years of nhs charities, there since day one of the national health service,

and just as important today as back in 19118. jordan henderson is an ambassador for the charity. the nhs is precious to him. a long time ago, obviously, my dad wasn't particularly well, going through a tough time, and the nhs were incredible in supporting him and what he needed through that time. so ever since then i've paid close attention to trying to help as much as possible, to show the support and the amazing work that nhs charities together do, and all the charities around the uk do, to support the nhs and not just rely on government funding. you know, i think it's important that the work they do is highlighted. he's alongside matt kennard, a huge liverpool fan and someone who benefited from the mental health group more than football, which is supported by nhs charities together. i suffered crippling anxiety. i mean, i wouldn't be able to do anything like this, you know, six months ago. and now, it's — yeah.

honestly, just being able to talk to like—minded people, it can help you. it saves a lot of people's lives. you never know what's going on behind closed doors in anybody�*s life. so to be able to open up and speak about it is really important. what a day to forget our clapperboard. third time lucky. yeah, third time lucky! this will never go out now. michael palin remembers his father's stammer, part of the inspiration for his role in the movie a fish called wanda. and his decision to lend his name to a specialist treatment centre has been life affirming — not only for those it helps. the stammering centre has just for me, been the most extraordinary, rewarding experience. people come back and say, it's changed someone's life. and it's not often you can say that. but i think in terms of sort of being able to to speak more clearly, and feel you've got things to say and you'll be listened to,

then that's tremendous. he's being photographed with nafisa ibrahim, who first started going to the centre eight years ago when she was 17. she'd been bullied, marginalized, but these days has a voice, in every sense. you, for example, i'm talking to you. in the past i would never do that, you know? i wouldn't either, actually. certainly not! i mean, you know, just anyone, you know, i was just really... ..i was quite, erm, closed off as well. so i'm being able to be... ..resilient, and be able to — and to tell myself, you know what? i can do this. i can talk to new people, i can express myself as well. for rankin, used to mixing with royalty, film stars and supermodels, the chance to give back to the nhs

is both humbling and personal. having been somebody that works in the nhs, it's about the people that are helping people every single day. and i've been one of those people doing it, taking people to surgery. it's very daunting for them. so, you know, that human aspect of it is what i wanted to get into the pictures. and, of course, i'mjust relying on these amazing people, and of course they are all amazing. so it's been quite a sort of easy day for me, really. the exhibition aims to show the range of services supported by the nhs charities together. dr aziz abdul was a refugee from afghanistan. he's now a specialist registrar in birmingham and an advocate for mental health support for his colleagues. when i go to my work, i'm just thinking, who will be off sick? i and they are not sick- because of the physical health. many of them, they are burned out. many of them, they have mental health issues. . and this is something very, very big that affects the lives of—

many doctors, nurses, health care workers. . so i'm supporting, i'm advocating for the mental health here. - now back to the sensational six, the knitters from barnsley, whose creations raised thousands for the nhs. at the helm is the formidable beryl. just don't ask her to growl. do you growl? growl? 0h, didn't like the growling. didn't mind the whistling, because i can't whistle. but i didn't like the growling. i'm very passionate about the nhs, always have been and always will be. i think that everyone has the right to receive treatment, and so i'm a big believer in the nhs. and without it, i don't know where we would be today. i really don't. they represent the breadth and the depth of the work nhs charities do, changing and saving lives, for the past 75 years, for today,

and for our future. so, we are back in the saatchi gallery on the kings road in london. this exhibition opened for the next ten days. there is beryl. looks fabulous. rankin absolutely captures the spirit of the woman, having been privileged enough to spend a little time with a few weeks ago when was happening. stefan is another model. i feel as if i happening. stefan is another model. ifeel as if i am happening. stefan is another model. i feel as if i am seeing double. what you think your portrait? i think it is fantastic. rankin certainly— think it is fantastic. rankin certainly captured the essence of the morning and the day. you are art of the morning and the day. you are part of the _ the morning and the day. you are part of the team _ the morning and the day. you are part of the team that _ the morning and the day. you are part of the team that helped - the morning and the day. you are part of the team that helped to i part of the team that helped to reconstruct malala yousafzai's face after she was attacked in afghanistan?— after she was attacked in afghanistan? after she was attacked in afu hanistan? . ., ., after she was attacked in afuhanistan? . ., ., , ., afghanistan? yeah, we had a phone call awhile back. _ afghanistan? yeah, we had a phone call awhile back. it _ afghanistan? yeah, we had a phone call awhile back. it allows _ afghanistan? yeah, we had a phone call awhile back. it allows us - afghanistan? yeah, we had a phone call awhile back. it allows us to - call awhile back. it allows us to capture — call awhile back. it allows us to capture that data within a 3d world,

sojoin us, as we deep dive into the crazy cultural impact of the chopper. and who knew it played such a big part in the life of harry potter? my name is harry potter. this is a small part of my raleigh chopper collection. how big is the collection? i have 60 to 70. i've had hundreds. this harry potter lives in barmouth, north wales, with a bike that has been turning heads for almost 50 years. this is where the obsession started. this is my dad and his mates and his bike. this was in 1971, the summer. he had one of the first orange ones. that's where it all started, and i began from there. how much time do you spend on this? i get up at five in the morning, some mornings, cleaning and doing other stuff with them. so yeah, it's a big part

of my life and i do love it. have you got a partner? yeah. and how do they feel about it? she loves it. yeah, she's all right. she's happy me doing my thing. she gets to do her thing, and then we get our time together. what's the charm? what is the charm? ijust enjoy them. they're different. they're unique. it's a talking point, everybody�*s fascinated by them, all ages. everyone appreciates what they are. yeah, they look pretty cool. i stack them all nicely. they all have to be in line. i can't have the same colour next to each other because that gives me a little bit of an ick! and obviously the wide seats have to go together, yeah. let's be clear — this is just so that you can come into this room... oh, yeah. ..and look at them. yeah, not many people come in here. yeah, that's just for my benefit. boys and toys! yeah, yeah, yeah. proper little man cave. the chopper was designed by tom karen. he's the man who designed this — the popemobile.

and this — the marble run. but this was bought by 1.5 million people before production ended in the 1980s. and what made it so special was this. supergrass helped to cruise the chopper back into pop culture in the 1990s, and since then its fan base has kept on growing. so meet michael 0'riley, who throws a big party for around 300 chopper enthusiasts every single year. my wife jokes it's a load of weirdos in a field taling about kids' bikes. and she means that in the nicest possible way, because they are kids' bikes. yet the majority were ridden by adults! you know, they were never designed to be ridden like that, and they are. buddies hugh, chris and gary are spreading their chopper love

all over bournemouth. it's just a really nice way to have a chat with random people. if you drive past someone, they'lljust shout out, "chopper!" you know, just say things, like, "yeah, wicked!" in fact, hugh and chris got engaged on their choppers. a lot of my chopper riding friends said that christine only agreed to marry me for my chopper. steve cranley�*s brother was the stuff of chopper legend back home in dublin. he was always a bit wild. i was way more reserved, but he was always a bit wild. here's a picture of my brother in 1987 doing my things on a chopper. and funny enough, he's never had kids. chopper dave went even further. my name is chopper dave. back in 2015, i took on the world's biggest cycling event, which is the tour de france, on my rusty raleigh chopper. a completely bonkers idea. take on the alps, the pyrenees, and do what the professionals do, but on my authentic

raleigh chopper bike. and if anyone should know the credentials of this vehicle, it's david croft, sky's chief formula one commentator. as a young kid pedaling around the streets of stevenage, there was no other form of transport. what other bike could get your mates on the back, and the records that you bought from the record shop downtown? what other bike could you injure yourself severely on, on the gear stick that was somehow put right at the front where you could do that? but what other bike looks as good as the chopper? it's totally impractical. absolutely beautiful. bring them back. well, your wish is raleigh's command. this limited edition new model goes on sale today. a bit pricey, mind. grown men all over britain and beyond are getting very excited. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. this has proved popular already. you are auoin this has proved popular already. em. are going mad for this. you have

london, i'm thomas magill. services in and out of the capital will be significantly disrupted as train drivers begin three days of strike action. there will be no trains on southeastern, southern, thameslink and the gatwick express. it's all part of the long—running dispute over pay, pensions and conditions involving members of the driver's union aslef. and conditions involving members of the drivers' union aslef. rmt member will walk out on friday, and there will be further strikes on saturday. the advice is to check before you travel. if people are out and about over the next few days, we are encouraging people to please do check before you travel. we've got a refund policy in place, as well. so if you have booked a ticket for a strike day and decide not to travel, you can of course get a refund, or you can actually travel on an alternative day. those tickets will still be valid. a man has died after three people were hit by a car at a bus stop in enfield. it happened just before 3.00 on angel yesterday afternoon. the driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene and is helping police

with their enquiries. two other people were taken to hospital with none non—life—threatening injuries. figures obtained by the bbc show more than £900,000 has been spent on an empty building owned by essex county called shire hall. the majority of the cash has gone on maintenance and repair work, but £66,000 was also spent on heating — despite it being lying vacant for the last 11 years. essex county council says the heating is kept on at a low level to protect the grade ii—listed building from damp and mould. let's see how the tube is looking at this time of the morning. there's severe delays on the circle line, and no service between sydenham and west croydon on the london 0verground. and for all the latest travel — particularly on this strike day — head to your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, the weather stays

pretty similar as we head through the rest of the week. high pressure keeps us dry and settled, but we are set to stay with that north—easterly wind. there will be some areas of cloud around at times — especially through the mornings — but also some sunshine, and in the best of the sunshine, of course, it's pleasantly warm. the temperatures won't be spectacularly high, but the uv levels are high and the pollen levels moderate to high as the week progresses, too. now, this morning, very similar to how it was yesterday — it's a rather cloudy start. the cloud will slowly burn back towards the east as we head through the morning, and into the afternoon there should be a lot of sunshine around right across the capital. temperatures a bit higher perhaps than they were yesterday — we'll more widely see 19 to maybe even 21 degrees celsius. we've still got the strength of that northeasterly wind — it's not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. this evening and overnight, again, we'll get plenty of cloud just pushing its way further westwards again into thursday morning. thursday, once again, the sunshine will eventually emerge. and it's looking similar for the rest of the week.

more on all of today's stories on our website and on bbc radio london throughout the morning. that's it from me for now — i'll be back with you in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. days of fresh rail strikes get underway — culminating with industrial action that'll affect this weekend's epsom derby and the fa cup final. siren. south korea on high alert after north korea tries, but fails, to launch its first—ever spy satellite. time is running out to use vouchers to get money off your energy bills — £130 million is still unclaimed by people on pre—payment meters. i'll have all the details

of who is eligible, and what you need to do. in sport, whose name will be on that plane as the england women's world cup squad's announced, with under 50 days to go until the start of the tournament? # ijust # i just want to tell you how # ijust want to tell you how i'm feeling... it was a dream he was never going to give up — laughter rick astley will finally get to perform at glastonbury. he'll be on the show just before 8.00. good morning. a fairly cloudy start to the day for most, thick enough for some drizzle here and there. through the day, rather like the last few days, a lot will push back towards the east and many will have a dry day with some sunshine. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday 31st may. rail passengers are facing disruption this morning,

as more than 12,000 train drivers walk out in a row over pay and working conditions. it's the start of several days of industrial action on the rail network, which will affect people travelling to this weekend's epsom derby and the fa cup final. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. once again, train services have come to a stop in many parts of the country. this music bar in london thinks punters staying away during rail strikes has already cost it about three quarters of a million pounds. it's another blow on top of the pandemic and cost—of—living pressures. nothing has hit us harder than the train strikes. the train strikes are crippling to the business, and we're in a time when we're already seeing so many businesses on a knife edge and up against the wall. we need a period of stability. today's action by train drivers in the aslef union is the first of three strike days this week. around 20,000 rail workers in the rmt at 14 train companies

are due to walk out on friday. and then drivers have another strike on saturday. it means disrupted travel plans for many people — including those heading to big events, like saturday's fa cup final, or days out over half—term. the drivers' union, aslef, has already rejected a 4% pay rise for two years in a row — dependent on big changes to ways of working — as unacceptable. it says drivers are being asked to give up working conditions for a wage increase that's far below inflation, and its leader has warned industrial action could escalate. our members are in this for the long haul. we've been into this for the best part of two years, they've been solid, we've currently got at least ten of our ballots out for rebalancing under the tory legislation, and we expect those to come back with high turnouts and high percentages again to go forward. for us it's existential. industry negotiators have called the disruption unnecessary and damaging. and the government, which has sign—off on any deal, has described the latest offer

as fair and reasonable. at the moment, there's no sign of a breakthrough — and without one, we could be looking at another summer of strikes on the railway. katy austin, bbc news. a failed north korean satellite launch has prompted south korea and japan to warn millions of people to prepare to evacuate or seek shelter. siren. the launch of the rocket initially caused sirens to go off in the south korean capital of seoul — but the warnings were quickly dropped after it became clear the satellite had crashed. good morning. do you know any more about what have happened? yeah. good morning. do you know any more about what have happened?— about what have happened? yeah, so the morning — about what have happened? yeah, so the morning he _ about what have happened? yeah, so the morning he started _ about what have happened? yeah, so the morning he started with - about what have happened? yeah, so the morning he started with panic - the morning he started with panic and real confusion as we head those

air raids sirens go off. this is not something common here in seoul, and many people will never have heard an air raid siren and that was then followed by these emergency messages playing out of loudspeakers, telling people to prepare for an evacuation. 20 minutes later we were all told it has been a mistake. what happened is that north korea had fired a missile containing a spy satellite that it wanted to put into space but the launch failed, the missile exploded and fell into the sea. so it never came anywhere near south korea. it landed about 200 kilometres away. this will be a big disappointment for the north korean leader kim jong—un who has been working on this piece of technology and on this launch for a really long time. north korea doesn't have a spy satellite at the moment and it wants to be able to monitor its enemies so it can spot incoming attacks, but also so it can much more accurately plot its own attacks. the question being asked here now is, how will people respond when this siren goes off again, if it goes off again, if

there is a genuine emergency? because over the years people here have become slightly desensitised to the risk of north korea and certainly people are worried that now with this false alarm people will be even more complacent and next and this goes up, if there is a genuine emergency, people might be even less likely to respond. thank ou ve even less likely to respond. thank you very much _ even less likely to respond. thank you very much indeed, _ even less likely to respond. thank you very much indeed, jean. - after days of drone attacks on ukraine's capital — and accusations of a retaliatory strike in moscow — it's been a quiet night in the region. yesterday, russia was apparently targeted by multiple drones for the first time since the start of the war. 0ur diplomatic correspondentjames landale is in kyiv this morning. i guess it must have been very tense overnight, given what happened yesterday in moscow.— overnight, given what happened yesterday in moscow. yeah, as ever, it is tense every _ yesterday in moscow. yeah, as ever, it is tense every night _ yesterday in moscow. yeah, as ever, it is tense every night in _ yesterday in moscow. yeah, as ever, it is tense every night in kyiv - it is tense every night in kyiv because you simply don't know what will happen. we reckon there had

been about 18, 19, 20 nights of this so far this month and yet last night was a quiet night. most of us had a reasonable amount of sleep because there were no attacks. ukrainian officials said this just showed that russia cannot sustain this night night because remember russia has itself a finite number of missiles and drones that it can fire. it is very dependent on countries like iran selling it more drones, and it is very dependent on its own manufacturing base to keep making more of these missiles that £8 and sends in this direction on a daily basis. —— that it lobs. for today the people of kyiv are waking up after a relatively stable night and also waking up in the backwash of all of those attacks and drones that officials here are welcoming even though they are not taking direct response ability for them.- response ability for them. james comer thank _ response ability for them. james

comer thank you. _ parents on universal credit will be able to claim hundreds of pounds more, to cover childcare costs from the end ofjune. the government says anyone receiving the benefit will be able to claim back £951 for one child and £1,630 for two or more children — that's a 47% increase. the scheme applies across england, scotland and wales and was announced in the chancellor's spring budget. one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence says he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which the technology would evolve. professor yoshua bengio has called for greater regulation and urged caution about the future risks of ai. his comments come after experts said the technology could lead to the extinction of humanity. legislation to raise the us debt ceiling — that's the total amount of money the government can borrow to pay its bills — has passed its first hurdle in congress. the bill will be voted on later today and, if approved, it would allow the government

to borrow money until after the next presidential election due in november 2024. the prince's trust has dropped phillip schofield as an ambassador, after he admitted to having an affair with a young male colleague and lying to cover it up. the charity, founded by the king, said it was "no longer appropriate" to work with the presenter. mr schofield issued a statement last friday about the relationship, and announced he was leaving itv. meanwhile, itv bosses will face a televised grilling by mps over what they knew about phillip schofield's relationship with a younger colleague. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. good morning. what more do we know about this planned hearing? goad about this planned hearing? good mornin: about this planned hearing? good morning to _ about this planned hearing? good morning to you- _ about this planned hearing? good morning to you. this _ about this planned hearing? good morning to you. this has - about this planned hearing? (limp. morning to you. this has been in the diary for a while. itv executives are due to take part in a wider hearing next week which is all about

reforms to regulation of broadcasting in the uk. but what has been made pretty clear by some members of this committee, senior mps who get to question various people in public life, they have made it clear that they will want to ask itv about everything that has been going on at this morning over the last few weeks. i want to read what one member of the met has been saying, john nicolson has tweeted that the recent issues are a cause for concern —— a member of the committee. he is looking forward to getting answers. we know phillip schofield has now left itv, we know itv has accused him of not telling them the truth over his relationship with a male colleague. but there are big questions over what was known and when, and quite frankly whether moore should have been known at various stages of this process. i think that is clearly going to come up think that is clearly going to come up in this committee meeting next week. some members of parliament very keen to get to the bottom of

what itv executives knew.- very keen to get to the bottom of what itv executives knew. households on prepayment meters are being urged to redeem their energy bill vouchers before they expire on the 30thjune. ben's here with the details. good morning. what do we need to do? yes — remember this was part of the government's energy support scheme, in response to rising bills this winter. there is a lot of important information to be aware of. for people paying by direct debit or quarterly with a credit card, this was applied automatically. it was worth £400 — you'd have seen a discount of around £66 a month deducted from your bill. this scheme ended in march. but if you use a prepayment meter, you wouldn't have got the discount automatically. but you should have been sent vouchers by text, email or post. your vouchers are only valid until 30thjune, so you should make sure to redeem them by then. you can do that at the post office or paypoint shop.

you'll need to take some id. the government says £130 million is still unclaimed. london has the lowest redemption rate — with more than 650,000 vouchers still unused. around 25% of vouchers in both scotland and the south—east of england are also yet to be claimed. any lost, missing or expired vouchers can be reissued, as long as they are redeemed byjune 30th. if you haven't been sent vouchers, the advice is to contact your supplier as soon as possible. the key thing about this is it is money to help with the rising cost of living so don't miss out, if you are eligible then make sure you claim.

good morning. this one is from essex from one of our weather watchers. a cloudy start with some drizzle. but in cumbria it is much brighter, here we have some clearer skies. parts of western scotland, cumbria and all through northern ireland, also the north—west of wales seeing the brighter start. north—west of wales seeing the brighterstart. forthe north—west of wales seeing the brighter start. for the rest of us, fairly cloudy. a cloud draped across the fun scotland, coming down the east coast and across much of and wales. thick enough for drizzle here and there. northern ireland starts off with some sunshine and just a bit of mist which will not last much longer. as we go through the day, you will find a lot of this cloud will push back towards the east coast and we could see some linger across parts in the midlands, down to the south—east, but even so we will still see some of that break—up. temperatures today up to 21, for example, in london, but it will be breezy across the south to south—eastern english channel, and

that will take the edge off the temperatures, rather like the last few days. top temperature to to be around the glasgow area, 24, maybe 25 or 26. through the evening and overnight, quite quickly the cloud pushes from the east to the west. some western areas will remain clear that there will be some pockets of mist forming overnight and our overnight lows not too bad, seven to 12 degrees. high pressure remains with us for the rest of this week, so the weather remains fairly at the same as we have got at the moment. good stuff. thank you very much indeed. an increasing number of motorists are facing fines for driving in some cities — if their vehicle doesn't meet certain emission standards. clean air zones have been introduced to reduce pollution levels and are already operational in bath, birmingham, bradford, bristol, portsmouth, sheffield and tyneside. london has three different schemes of its own — with a congestion charge, a low emission zone and an ultra—low emission zone. and from tomorrow, new rules in glasgow will see some

drivers hit with a fine, for driving in the city centre. but not all schemes have progressed as planned, with a clean air zone in greater manchester currently paused while under review. meanwhile, in bristol, the initiative has been running for six months — and our reporter paul bartrop has been finding out how it's been received. these sea cadets learning to sail in bristol's docks can't drive, but are affected by the clean air zone. instructors like bob russell are volunteers. he drives a non—compliant car. their base is inside the zone. a £9 charge per night to get in. it's crippling some of us. we are losing cadets, we are losing staff to... hopefully to other units, which is good, but, you know, actually, they're notjoining us because they can't get in because it's £18 a week to get here two nights a week. another problem is their own vehicle. the minibus is a non—compliant

minibus for the bristol clean airzone, so we need to replace the minibus. it's a big challenge. we've got to raise something in the order of about £20,000, £25,000, and to date we've raised about ten of that. for now, they're putting up with paying the charges — as are many others. the number of vehicles entering the clean air zone each weekday is around 150,000. the council say 20% are noncompliant — that's 30,000. a small proportion are exempt, but the vast majority will have to pay the charge, which for cars is £9. that means some £250,000 a day being paid by drivers. money from charges and fines initially goes to the government, which uses some to help administer clean air zones. there are strict rules on spending the money that then comes to bristol — they include running the city's scheme and helping people switch to cleaner modes of transport. the council stressed they had to bring in the zone due to illegally high levels

of air pollution. we do local administration, but the scheme itself is part of a national programme. and the money that's taken — with the fines, with the charges — that doesn't immediately come to you. we don't make money out of this, no. we get some money returned to us, but their money has to go into administering the scheme. it's six months since the clean air zone began, but the council won't detail what effects it's had until december. paul bartrop, bbc news, bristol. sarah rowe from the clean cities campaignjoins us in the studio, and business owner steve rupik, whose been affected by the clean air zone in his area, joins us from sheffield. good morning. let's start with you, steve. we can see your removals lorry behind you, that is the issue when you use that, you have to pay these charges.

highlighted the effects on those struggling on benefits. just...really hungry. look at me. no, no, it's ok, it's ok. now, the lead actor, davejohns... i'm happy that we are moving the audience... ..has turned the story into a stage play. should i put that on my cv? i would like to think that this would again make people angry, because that's the only way things will really change — when people say they've had enough. and i think that's when you get change, when it starts to affect, you know, middle—class people and working people, you know? and to help with his research... it's getting worse. sadly, it is getting worse. and we are doing everything that we possibly can. there are some very positive things happening, though. ..he returned to the charity where the foodbank scene was filmed. i got called in to work- and i missed the appointment, and i got sanctioned. with the cast and crew, he listened to stories from the people being helped.

anita was donating to this food bank 18 months ago. it's where you were, wasn't it, pet? when i first came, i was really low, i got really down. - i was not in a very good place. i don't think i would have been . here if it wasn't for the food bank. sorry, off again! why are people having to go through this? it's not right. i'll have to stop crying. for the director of the new stage play, it was a bit overwhelming. the stage production, is it more than that — is it about trying to bring about change, trying to sort of make people think? yeah, i don't know if art can really change, but even if it changes...certain sections of that audience to make — to do something, to volunteer, to donate more, to...help in some way, that i think is the goal of it. the food bank is open now... so when i, daniel blake

was made there was just one when i, daniel blake was made there was just one food bank in newcastle. meal voucher. oh, thank you. now there are more than half a dozen. feel me hands. i know, aye, they're freezing. this was much more than a research visit by the cast. thank yous. people might be surprised at the level of laughter that you get, you know? you're saying about the connections. my passion for being part of telling the story and shining a light on it, it's just more than for any play i can...that i think i've done. that could a sister, that could be a wife, it could be anybody. people are... people are doing it right now in newcastle and right around the country. how nice to see you. have you brought your little dog today? - you were the lady signing them in...in a book. signing them in. is it just food for yourself and the two children? - one of the volunteers who played herself in the original film also came to talk to them. was it totally improvised?

totally off the cuff, yes. yeah. ken loach was on the side and he sort of said, - "right, christine." and i had to speak. then he said, "just a little bit less christine!" - so ijust did a little bit less and that was it. i yeah. and now davejohns has given anita a special invitation to see the show. what do you think about going to the theatre for the first time? it'll be amazing. i've never, ever been before, ever in my life. it'll be one of me things on me bucket list. we're ready when you are, thank you. this play is already a sell—out in the city it is based in. all right, pet, just— doing your food shop, that's all. i, daniel blake is once again confronting some uncomfortable topics with drama and humour. katie says, in one of her scenes, "all i want is a bit of hope." - and i think that's what we all want, really — is a bit of hope _ that things'll change - and things'll get better.

0h! well done, well done, well done. danny savage, bbc news. famous faces are appearing alongside nhs staff, patients and volunteers in a new rankin exhibition, celebrating 75 years of nhs charities. john maguire is at the saachi gallery for us this morning. surrounded by some of those images. good morning. surrounded by some of those images. good morning-— good morning. good morning. good mornin: good morning. good morning. good morning to — good morning. good morning. good morning to everyone _ good morning. good morning. good morning to everyone at _ good morning. good morning. good morning to everyone at home. - good morning. good morning. good morning to everyone at home. over| morning to everyone at home. over the years the queen, the late queen, david bower, kate moss have all been in front of rankin's cameras, he has taken some of the most famous portraits we know in modern culture but this exhibition at the saachi gallery in london over the next ten days will feature people from the nhs, specifically from nhs charities together, people who received treatment from benefits from those

charities. also some of the clinicians, the staff that have been involved. and rankin's camera has captured them, capture their stories and therefore has captured the story of 75 years of the nhs and of giving in the nhs. we will tell you more, give you a good look around, introduce you to some of the people after the news, travel and weather where you are watching. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. services in and out of the capital will be significantly disrupted as train drivers begin three days of strike action. this is the scene at london bridge this morning, where there's no trains on southeastern, southern, thameslink and the gatwick express. it's all part of the long running dispute over pay, pensions and conditions involving members of the driver's union aslef. rmt member will walk out on friday and there will be further strikes on saturday. the advice it to check before you travel. if people are out and about over the next few days, we are encouraging people to please

do check before you travel. we've got a refund policy in place, as well. so if you have booked a ticket for a strike day and decide not to travel, you can of course get a refund, or you can actually travel on an alternative day. those tickets will still be valid. a man has died after three people were hit by a car at a bus stop in enfield. it happened just before three o'clock on angel road yesterday afternoon. two other people were taken to hospital, none with life—threatening injuries. police are appealing for witnesses. figures obtained by the bbc show more than £900,000, has been spent on an empty building owned by essex county council, shire hall. the majority of the cash has gone on maintenance and repair work, but £66,000 was also spent on heating, despite it being lying vacant for the last 11 years. essex county council says the heating is kept on at a low level to protect the grade 2 listed building from damp and mould.

let's see how the tubes is looking. and for all the latest travel particularly on this strike day, head to your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, the weather stays pretty similar as we head through the rest of the week. high pressure keeps us dry and settled, but we are set to stay with that north—easterly wind. there will be some areas of cloud around at times — especially through the mornings — but also some sunshine, and in the best of the sunshine, of course, it's pleasantly warm. the temperatures won't be spectacularly high, but the uv levels are high and the pollen levels moderate to high as the week progresses, too. now, this morning, very similar to how it was yesterday — it's a rather cloudy start. the cloud will slowly burn back

towards the east as we head through the morning, and into the afternoon there should be a lot of sunshine around right across the capital. temperatures a bit higher perhaps than they were yesterday — we'll more widely see 19 to maybe even 21 degrees celsius. we've still got the strength of that northeasterly wind — it's not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. this evening and overnight, again, we'll get plenty of cloud just pushing its way further westwards again into thursday morning. thursday, once again, the sunshine will eventually emerge. and it's looking similar for the rest of the week. more on all of today's stories our website and on bbc radio london throughout the morning. that's it from me for now — i'll be back with you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. morning. just after half past seven. two years ago, david brydon was left paralysed below the waist, after falling down the stairs

and hitting his head. now, he and his partner want to use ivf to have a baby. but they've been refused nhs treatment, because david already has a child from a previous relationship. the decision has been described as appalling and cruel by a leading ivf charity. sharon barbour has the story. after fighting for his life, david and his partner ashley are now in a battle with the nhs to get ivf, so that they can have a baby. it would just mean everything to both of us, wouldn't it? yeah. definitely. to give her a child would mean the world. are you building a sand castle? their story began when david tripped and fell down the stairs. head straight into the wall. er... instantly knew summat had happened. "i cannot feel my legs, there's something wrong here." so i never thought at that moment...he's going to be in a wheelchair.

but... sorry. it's just not something you expect to happen. david had broken his neck. when he came around from surgery, his biggest fear, though, was not being able to have a baby with ashley. first thing he said — "i should have gave you a baby." and to leave him...if this was going to be what he was going to be like. which obviously i didn't do! when you love somebody, no matter what, you stay with them. ijust want her to have a good life and not to go through what she's going through now. national guidelines recommend three cycles of free ivf on the nhs.

some areas only offer one. others have stricter criteria — such as not allowing it for anyone who has already had a child. and david has a child from a previous relationship, so their requests for ivf have been turned down. the couple say their only choice may now mean moving to another part of the country. we don't want to up and move. i think it'sjust so...unfair. fertility network uk go further — the charity claims by denying david and ashley the chance to have a baby, when there's a clear clinical need for ivf intervention, is cruel. the provision of ivf across the country varies — and now it often depends on criteria set by integrated care boards, despite guidance from nice. the icb for the northeast couldn't comment on this case. the bbc understands the government is looking at making what it describes as important changes

to improve ivf access across the country. sharon barbour, bbc news. thank you to david and ashley for sharing that story with us. we're joined now by dr catherine hill from the charity fertility network. morning. it is a heartbreaking story, isn't it? what do you make of what we have just heard?— what we have 'ust heard? well, it is an absolutely — what we have just heard? well, it is an absolutely heartbreaking - what we have just heard? well, it is an absolutely heartbreaking story. i an absolutely heartbreaking story. we are _ an absolutely heartbreaking story. we are appalled by this. it is an absolutely cruel decision and it shouldn't— absolutely cruel decision and it shouldn't be happening stop if a woman— shouldn't be happening stop if a woman is— shouldn't be happening stop if a woman is under 40 and she is unable to have _ woman is under 40 and she is unable to have children without medical help. _ to have children without medical help, then she should be able to get nhs funded ivf. and, you know, my heart _ nhs funded ivf. and, you know, my heart goes _ nhs funded ivf. and, you know, my heart goes out to david and ashley. what _ heart goes out to david and ashley. what a _ heart goes out to david and ashley. what a terrible situation to be in. what _

two players integral to that euros success. that could mean a recall for former skipper steph houghton, or striker beth england. what another great summer we could be said for. britain's last remaining hope in the french open singles is in action today. cameron norrie takes on lucas pouille of france in the second round. second seed dannil medvedev said he was glad to see the back of the clay court season after being knocked out by brazilian qualifier thiago seyboth wild, who's ranked number 172 in the world. medvedev said it was no fun playing with a mouthful of clay. there'll be a new face in england's bowling attack when they play their first test of the summer this week. josh tongue will make his debut against ireland at lord's. his head coach at worcestershire says tongue deserves his chance. absolutely chuffed for him, so proud of him. he's worked incredibly hard over the last couple of years since he got injured to get here, and obviously it's been a long

journey for him. he started at worcester as a six—year—old. he's a quietly confident young man, very much backs what he does. this will be something he's worked incredibly hard for. so no doubt there'll be some nerves there, but obviously that excitement of getting the chance to represent his country. it's a ryder cup year but this september in rome, things will be different. players on the breakaway liv tour aren't eligible to play in the europe team — and that's not right, according to john rahm. those missing include some of the most successful ryder cup players, among them rahm's fellow spaniard sergio garcia, europe's all—time record points scorer. it's a little sad to me that politics have gotten in the way of such a beautiful event. again, it's the best europeans against the best americans, period. and whatever is going on, who's playing liv, who's not playing liv, to me it shouldn't matter. it's whoever�*s best suited to represent the european side.

and i have a hard time to believe that the best player has ever had, the most successful player europe has had in the ryder cup, isn't fit to be on the team. it does seem crazy. 0ne it does seem crazy. one of the things that sets this event apart, apart from the raucous crowd, is pitting europe's best against america's best, but it really isn't that when europe don't have their best. it ceases to be the signature event everybody wants to be, watching the world's best players. still hugely controversial. this watching the world's best players. still hugely controversial.- still hugely controversial. this is the problem- — still hugely controversial. this is the problem. the _ still hugely controversial. this is the problem. the split _ still hugely controversial. this is the problem. the split is - still hugely controversial. this is the problem. the split is tearing j the problem. the split is tearing the problem. the split is tearing the sport apart at the moment. quarter to eight. we need the weather. that is looking pretty good. good morning. for many of us the weather— good morning. for many of us the weather has — good morning. for many of us the weather has been lovely. more especially in the west. in the east

purple was a very popular colour that day. a whole family of chopper fans here, granddad roy, with his son and grandchildren corey and reuben. roy got a mark one chopper for his 12th birthday in 1970. and here's tony higgins in around 1972. tony said he was the first kid on the estate with a chopper and his dad told him he'd grow into it. and finally, here's tim weller with his friend peter in somerset. looks like tim was another person who was told to grow into their bike. there were so expensive you had to buy another one to last you for life. lovely pictures. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. three days of strike action on the capital's trains means there will be significant disruption across much of the network today. this is the scene at london bridge where southern, southeastern and thameslink have no trains running. there's a limited service on other parts of the network. it's part of the long—running dispute over pay and conditions, involving members of the drivers' union aslef. more strikes are planned for friday and again on saturday involving other railway staff. a man has died after three people were hit by a car at a bus stop in enfield. it happened just before 3:00 on angel road yesterday afternoon. two other people were taken to hospital with non—life—threatening injuries. police are appealing for witnesses. let's look at how the tubes are this morning. there's severe delays on the circle line and no service between sydenham and west croydon on the london 0verground. and for all the latest travel, head to your bbc local radio

station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather, and it'll start off dull and cloudy with the chance of some drizzle. but it should become increasingly sunny this afternoon. top temperature of 21 degrees. more on all of today's stories on our website and on bbc radio london throughout the morning. that's it from me for now — i'll be back with you in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. days of fresh rail strikes get underway — culminating with industrial action that'll affect this weekend's epsom derby and the fa cup final. siren. south korea on high alert after north korea tries, but fails, to launch its first—ever spy satellite. shining a light on stroke survival — formula 1 broadcasterjennie gow will be here to tell us her story of recovery, learning to talk again,

and the importance of family. time is running out to use vouchers to get money off your energy bills — £130 million is still unclaimed by people on pre—payment meters. i'll have all the details of who is eligible and what you need to do. in sport, whose name will be on that plane as the england women's world cup squad's announced with under 50 days to go until the start of the tournament? this morning we are celebrating 75 years of charitable giving in the nhs with these wonderful portraits taken by the celebrity photographer rankin. good morning. a fairly cloudy start to the day for most, with some drizzle here and there. it should brighten up from the west as the cloud pushes to the east with some warm sunshine developing. all the details later in the programme.

it's wednesday 31st may. rail passengers are facing disruption this morning, as more than 12,000 train drivers walk out in a row over pay and working conditions. it's the start of several days of industrial action on the rail network, which will affect people travelling to this weekend's epsom derby and the fa cup final. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. once again, train services have come to a stop in many parts of the country. this music bar in london thinks punters staying away during rail strikes has already cost it about three quarters of a million pounds. it's another blow on top of the pandemic and cost—of—living pressures. nothing has hit us harder than the train strikes. the train strikes are crippling to the business, and we're in a time when we're already seeing so many businesses on a knife edge and up against the wall. we need a period of stability. today's action by train drivers in the aslef union is the first

of three strike days this week. around 20,000 rail workers in the rmt at 14 train companies are due to walk out on friday. and then drivers have another strike on saturday. it means disrupted travel plans for many people — including those heading to big events, like saturday's fa cup final, or days out over half—term. the drivers' union, aslef, has already rejected a 4% pay rise for two years in a row — dependent on big changes to ways of working — as unacceptable. it says drivers are being asked to give up working conditions for a wage increase that's far below inflation, and its leader has warned industrial action could escalate. our members are in this for the long haul. we've been into this for the best part of two years, they've been solid, we've currently got at least ten of our ballots out for rebalancing under the tory legislation, and we expect those to come back with high turnouts and high percentages again to go forward. for us it's existential. industry negotiators have called the disruption unnecessary and damaging.

and the government, which has sign—off on any deal, has described the latest offer as fair and reasonable. at the moment, there's no sign of a breakthrough — and without one, we could be looking at another summer of strikes on the railway. katy austin, bbc news. a failed north korean satellite launch has prompted south korea and japan to warn millions of people to prepare to evacuate or seek shelter. siren. the launch of the rocket initially caused sirens to go off in the south korean capital of seoul — but the warnings were quickly dropped after it became clear the satellite had crashed. 0ur seoul correspondentjean mackenzie told us what happened. yeah, so the morning here started with panic and real confusion as we heard those air—raids sirens go off. this is not something that's common here in seoul, and many people will never even have

heard an air—raid siren before. and that was then followed by these emergency messages that were playing out of loudspeakers, telling people to prepare for an evacuation. but 20 minutes later we were all told that it has been a mistake. what happened is that north korea had fired a missile which was containing a spy satellite that it wanted to put into space, but the launch failed — the missile exploded and it fell into the sea. so it never came anywhere near south korea — it landed about 200 kilometres away. now, this will be a big disappointment for the north korean leader kimjong—un, who has been working on this piece of technology — and on this launch — for a really long time. north korea doesn't have a spy satellite at the moment, and it wants to be able to monitor its enemies so it can spot incoming attacks, but also so it can much more accurately plot its own attacks. but the question that is being asked here now is, how will people respond when this siren goes off again — if it goes off again, if there is a genuine emergency? because over the years people here have become slightly

desensitised to the risk of north korea, and certainly people are worried that now, with this false alarm, people will be even more complacent and next and this goes off, if there is a genuine emergency, people might be even less likely to respond. after days of drone attacks on ukraine's capital, it's been a quiet night in kyiv. yesterday, russia was apparently targeted by multiple drones for the first time since the start of the war. vladimir putin has accused ukraine of trying to frighten russians — but kyiv has denied responsibility. parents on universal credit will be able to claim hundreds of pounds more, to cover childcare costs from the end ofjune. the government says anyone receiving the benefit will be able to claim back £951 for one child and £1,630 for two or more children — that's a 47% increase. the scheme applies across england, scotland and wales.

one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence says he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which the technology would evolve. professor yoshua bengio has called for greater regulation and urged caution about the future risks of ai. his comments come after experts said the technology could lead to the extinction of humanity. the prince's trust has dropped phillip schofield as an ambassador, after he admitted to having an affair with a young male colleague and lying to cover it up. the charity, founded by the king, said it was "no longer appropriate" to work with the presenter. mr schofield issued a statement last friday about the relationship and announced he was leaving itv. meanwhile, itv bosses will face a televised grilling by mps, over what they knew about phillip schofield's relationship with a younger colleague. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley.

this will be next week, won't it, this meeting in parliament? what sort of questions might mps be asking? sort of questions might mps be askinl ? ,., ., ., sort of questions might mps be askinl ? _, ., ., ., sort of questions might mps be askinl ? ,., ., ., ., i. , asking? good morning to you. it is on tuesday — asking? good morning to you. it is on tuesday and — asking? good morning to you. it is on tuesday and this _ asking? good morning to you. it is on tuesday and this is _ asking? good morning to you. it is on tuesday and this is a _ on tuesday and this is a long—standing plan to bring in executives from a number of broadcasters to talk about reforms to media laws. but it's pretty clear chatting to some of the mps on that committee that they are going to want to ask about the situation with phillip schofield and the wider situation at this morning. john nicolson, one of the snp mps on the committee, has said that recent issues in his view are a cause for concern. he is looking forward to getting answers from itv executives. we all know that they have been questions asked over the past few days about the circumstances around phillip schofield's departure, about

what itv executives knew about his relationship with a colleague. we are told in a statement that accusations of a relationship were looked into but both of the people involved denied it, but i think mps will definitely want to probe that a bit further, and try to get to the height of the culture on the programme, those claims of toxicity may buy some contributors, they want to find out a bit more about that, and the account given so far by itv executives, probing that, about what they knew and when. tuesday afternoon, that will take place. interesting, thank you. households on prepayment meters are being urged to redeem their energy bill vouchers before they expire on the 30thjune. ben's here with the details. 1st ofjune tomorrow so time is running out. 1st ofjune tomorrow so time is running out-— yes — remember this was part of the government's energy support scheme, in response to rising bills this winter. what i'm about to say could be worth £400 to some people, so well worth

listening. let me run through the details. for people paying by direct debit or quarterly with a credit card, this was applied automatically. it was worth £400 — you'd have seen a discount of around £66 a month deducted from your bill. this scheme ended in march. but if you use a prepayment meter, you wouldn't have got the discount automatically. but you should have been sent vouchers by text, email or post. your vouchers are only valid until 30thjune, so you should make sure to redeem them by then. you can do that at the post office or paypoint shop. you'll need to take some id. the government says £130 million is still unclaimed. london has the lowest redemption rate — with more than 650,000 vouchers still unused. around 25% of vouchers in both scotland and the south—east of england are also yet to be claimed. any lost, missing or expired vouchers can be reissued, as long as they are redeemed byjune 30th.

if you haven't been sent vouchers, the advice is to contact your supplier as soon as possible. it is worth mentioning at this point that if people are confused, there is that tackling it together section of the bbc website which you can check. this effectively is free money and if you don't claim it by the 30th ofjune you have missed out. ., ~ the 30th ofjune you have missed out. ., ,, , ., the 30th ofjune you have missed out. ., ~' , ., , the 30th ofjune you have missed out. ., ,, i. , . he might be known as the godfather, but al pacino is going to become a dad again — at the age of 83. the actor is expecting his fourth child with his 29—year—old girlfriend. he is keeping up with his mates, isn't he? earlier this year, fellow godfather star robert de niro also shared the news that he had become a dad for the seventh time, at the age of 79. imean, i mean, that is... those night feeds

wales, umbria, northern ireland, a lot of sunshine, except the far north—eastern scotland where we are looking at my club. gradually the cloud will be eroded but we could see some lingering across the midlands and towards south—east wales but even so, it will notjust be a bank of cloud, we will see some holes developing it. temperatures could get up to 26 around the glasgow area but it will always be cooler along the east coast where we have the cloud, and also an onshore breeze accentuating the chilly feel across southern england and the english channel. as you go through the next few days, high pressure remains in charge, so it is a bit more of the same. thank you. bbc 5live's formula 1 reporter jennie gow has spent the last few months learning to walk and talk again, following a serious stroke in december. she's decided to share her experience of recovery, to help other stroke survivors and raise awareness of the condition.

"people of our age". and people who are so young, as well. you have

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. services in and out of the capital will be significantly disrupted as train drivers begin three days of strike action. there's no trains on southeastern, southern, thameslink and the gatwick express. but there is a limited service on other parts of the network. it's part of the long running dispute over pay and conditions involving members of the driver's union aslef. rmt members will walk out on friday and saturday. our reporter anna o'neill has sent this from south london. i'm here at london bridge station where no trains whatsoever are leaving from here today. it is due to that strike by members of the aslef union. not everybody has heard about it. plenty of people have been turning up here trying to get a train, realising they are not going to be able to, and they are going to have to find an alternative means of transport to get to

where they are going. the news has not filtered through to everyone. in case you're watching this, just remember there will be another strike on friday and at the weekend. a man has died after three people were hit by a car at a bus stop in enfield. it happened just before three o'clock on angel road yesterday afternoon. two other people were taken to hospital with no life—threatening injuries. police are appealing for witnesses. figures obtained by the bbc show more than £900,000 has been spent on an empty building owned by essex county council called shire hall. the majority of the cash has gone on maintenance and repair work, but £66,000 was also spent on heating, despite it being lying vacant for the last 11 years. essex county council says the heating is kept on at a low level to protect the grade 2 listed building from damp and mould. let's see how the tubes is looking at this time of the morning. there's severe delays on the circle and london overground

between sydenham and west croydon. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, the weather stays pretty similar as we head through the rest of the week. high pressure keeps us dry and settled, but we are set to stay with that north—easterly wind. there will be some areas of cloud around at times — especially through the mornings — but also some sunshine, and in the best of the sunshine, of course, it's pleasantly warm. the temperatures won't be spectacularly high, but the uv levels are high and the pollen levels moderate to high as the week progresses, too. now, this morning, very similar to how it was yesterday — it's a rather cloudy start. the cloud will slowly burn back towards the east as we head through the morning, and into the afternoon there should be a lot of sunshine around right across the capital. temperatures a bit higher perhaps than they were yesterday — we'll more widely see 19 to maybe even 21 degrees celsius. we've still got the strength of that northeasterly wind — it's not quite as brisk as it was yesterday. this evening and overnight, again, we'll get plenty of cloud just

pushing its way further westwards again into thursday morning. thursday, once again, the sunshine will eventually emerge. and it's looking similar for the rest of the week. more on all of today's stories our website and on bbc radio london throughout the morning. that's it from me for now. i'll be back with you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. thank you forjoining us this wednesday morning. best known for his portraits of kate moss and the queen, celebrity photographer rankin has now turned his lens on nhs workers. to celebrate 75 years of nhs charities, a new exhibition will feature photos of staff, volunteers and patients, alongside some other famous faces. john maguire is at the saachi gallery for us this morning. and has one of those lovely pictures

on display. and has one of those lovely pictures on disla . ~ ., and has one of those lovely pictures ondisla. ., and has one of those lovely pictures on disla . ., ., ., on display. morning, all. you are obviously looking _ on display. morning, all. you are obviously looking at _ on display. morning, all. you are obviously looking at michael- on display. morning, all. you are| obviously looking at michael palin from monty python fame. there because of the nhs —— the work nhs charities do to fund the michael palin stammer centre. we have got staff, volunteers, people who have benefited from nhs charities over the years. what you may not know is that nhs charities and charitable giving goes back 75 years. this exhibition here in the saatchi gallery on the kings road in london will be here for the next ten days. it celebrates the nhs, nhs charities, and all of the people involved with them. anyone who's anyone has looked down the barrel of rankin's camera lens. today, there's an england footballer, a python and a member of the sensational six. but more on them later. the portraits are a celebration

of 75 years of nhs charities, there since day one of the national health service, and just as important today as back in i9lr8. jordan henderson is an ambassador for the charity. the nhs is precious to him. a long time ago, obviously, my dad wasn't particularly well, going through a tough time, and the nhs were incredible in supporting him and what he needed through that time. so ever since then i've paid close attention to trying to help as much as possible, to show the support and the amazing work that nhs charities together do, and all the charities around the uk do, to support the nhs and not just rely on government funding. you know, i think it's important that the work they do is highlighted. he's alongside matt kennard, a huge liverpool fan and someone who benefited from the mental health group more than football, which is supported by nhs charities together. i suffered crippling anxiety. i mean, i wouldn't be able to do anything like this,

you know, six months ago. and now, it's — yeah. honestly, just being able to talk to like—minded people, it can help you. it saves a lot of people's lives. you never know what's going on behind closed doors in anybody�*s life. soto be able to open up and speak about it is really important. what a day to forget our clapperboard. third time lucky. yeah, third time lucky! this will never go out now. michael palin remembers his father's stammer, part of the inspiration for his role in the movie a fish called wanda. and his decision to lend his name to a specialist treatment centre has been life affirming — not only for those it helps. the stammering centre has just for me, been the most extraordinary, rewarding experience. people come back and say, it's changed someone's life. and it's not often you can say that. but i think in terms of sort

of being able to to speak more clearly, and feel you've got things to say and you'll be listened to, then that's tremendous. he's being photographed with nafisat ibrahim, who first started going to the centre eight years ago when she was 17. she'd been bullied, marginalized, but these days has a voice, in every sense. you, for example, i'm talking to you. in the past i would never do that, you know? i wouldn't either, actually. certainly not! i mean, you know, just anyone, you know, i was just really... ..i was quite, erm, closed off as well. so i'm being able to be... ..resilient, and be able to — and to tell myself, you know what? i can do this. i can talk to new people, i can express myself as well. for rankin, used to mixing with

royalty, film stars and supermodels, the chance to give back to the nhs is both humbling and personal. having been somebody that works in the nhs, it's about the people that are helping people every single day. and i've been one of those people doing it, taking people to surgery. it's very daunting for them. so, you know, that human aspect of it is what i wanted to get into the pictures. and, of course, i'mjust relying on these amazing people, and of course they are all amazing. so it's been quite a sort of easy day for me, really. the exhibition aims to show the range of services supported by the nhs charities together. dr aziz abdul was a refugee from afghanistan. he's now a specialist registrar in birmingham and an advocate for mental health support for his colleagues. when i go to my work, i'm just thinking, who will be off sick? i and they are not sick- because of the physical health.

many of them, they are burned out. many of them, they have mental health issues. . and this is something very, very big that affects the lives of— many doctors, nurses, health care workers. . so i'm supporting, i'm advocating for the mental health here. - now back to the sensational six, the knitters from barnsley, whose creations raised thousands for the nhs. at the helm is the formidable beryl. just don't ask her to growl. do you growl? growl? - oh, didn't like the growling. didn't mind the whistling, because i can whistle. but i didn't like the growling. i'm very passionate about the nhs, always have been and always will be. i think that everyone has the right to receive treatment, and so i'm a big believer in the nhs. and without it, i don't know where we would be today. i really don't.

they represent the breadth and the depth of the work nhs charities do, changing and saving lives, for the past 75 years, for today, and for our future. so, let's bring these pictures to life once more. talk to paul spencer. paul, can you grow, did you growl for this wonderful picture? well, rank and asked me to roar but i well, rank and asked me to roar but i didn'i_ well, rank and asked me to roar but i didn't choose that one because it was embarrassing.— i didn't choose that one because it l was embarrassing._ i was embarrassing. happy with it? i am ha- was embarrassing. happy with it? i am happy with _ was embarrassing. happy with it? i am happy with that, _ was embarrassing. happy with it? i am happy with that, yes, _ was embarrassing. happy with it? i am happy with that, yes, we - was embarrassing. happy with it? i am happy with that, yes, we could | am happy with that, yes, we could choose _ am happy with that, yes, we could choose which ones we wanted. out of the tens_ choose which ones we wanted. out of the tens he _ choose which ones we wanted. out of the tens he took, i picked this one. it the tens he took, i picked this one. it has _ the tens he took, i picked this one. it has captured you fantastically. tell us your story and why you are involved? ., , ,., ., involved? right, i was born with a concenital involved? right, i was born with a congenital heart _ involved? right, i was born with a congenital heart defect. _ involved? right, i was born with a congenital heart defect. the - involved? right, i was born with a congenital heart defect. the local| congenital heart defect. the local hospital— congenital heart defect. the local hospital couldn't diagnose it, sol was referred to greg norman street in london —

leah williamson or fran kirby, who are both injured. beth mead is a doubt, as is millie bright, two players integral to that win. and that could mean a recall for former skipper steph houghton, or striker beth england. what another great summer it could be. to the men's euro 2024 qualifiers, wales have named david brooks in their squad for the first time since he recovered from cancer. he was diagnosed with hodgkin lymphoma in october 2021, and in march, played his first game for bournemouth in 536 days. neco williams is also included for the matches against armenia and turkey, despite being out of action since april with a broken jaw. tom lockyer has been left out though. he's recovering after collapsing in luton's play—off final win against coventry on saturday. jose mourinho has taken a swipe at his old club tottenham, ahead of tonight's europa league final. his side roma take on sevilla, and mourinho was eager to point out he's won all five european finals he's been involved in. he says he just needs to be given the time to succeed. in roma they didn't

sack me before the final in tirana, and in tottenham they sack me before the final at wembley. roma gave me the chance to win the final at tirana. and at tottenham i had had no chance. britain's last remaining hope in the french open singles is in action today. cameron norrie takes on lucas pouille of france in the second round. novak djokovic is also in action. the biggest upset came yesterday at roland garros with number two seed dannil medvedev knocked out by brazilian qualifier thiago seyboth wild. the world number 172 won in five sets. another frenchman cameron norrie plays today. i don't think he will be finding many friends. the second french player he has played. he

i've had hundreds. this harry potter lives in barmouth, north wales, with a bike that has been turning heads for almost 50 years. this is where the obsession started. this is my dad and his mates and his bike. this was in 1971, the summer. he had one of the first orange ones. that's where it all started, and i began from there. how much time do you spend on this? i get up at five in the morning, some mornings, cleaning and doing other stuff with them. so yeah, it's a big part of my life and i do love it. have you got a partner? yeah. and how do they feel about it? she loves it. yeah, she's all right. she's happy me doing my thing. she gets to do her thing, and then we get our time together. what's the charm? what is the charm? ijust enjoy them. they're different. they're unique. it's a talking point, everybody�*s

fascinated by them, all ages. everyone appreciates what they are. yeah, they look pretty cool. i stack them all nicely. they all have to be in line. i can't have the same colour next to each other because that gives me a little bit of an ick! and obviously the wide seats have to go together, yeah. let's be clear — this is just so that you can come into this room... oh, yeah. ..and look at them. yeah, not many people come in here. yeah, that's just for my benefit. boys and toys! yeah, yeah, yeah. proper little man cave. the chopper was designed by tom karen. he's the man who designed this — the popemobile. and this — the marble run. but this was bought by 1.5 million people before production ended in the 1980s. and what made it so special was this.

supergrass helped to cruise the chopper back into pop culture in the 1990s, and since then its fan base has kept on growing. so meet michael o'riley, who throws a big party for around 300 chopper enthusiasts every single year. talking about kids' bikes. and she means that in the nicest possible way, because they are kids' bikes. yet the majority were ridden by adults! you know, they were never designed to be ridden like that, and they are. buddies hugh, chris and gary are spreading their chopper love all over bournemouth. it's just a really nice way to have a chat with random people. if you drive past someone, they'lljust shout out, "chopper!" you know, just say things, like, "yeah, wicked!" in fact, hugh and chris got engaged on their choppers. a lot of my chopper riding friends said that christine only agreed to marry me for my chopper. steve cranley�*s brother

was the stuff of chopper legend back home in dublin. he was always a bit wild. i was way more reserved, but he was always a bit wild. here's a picture of my brother in 1987 doing my things on a chopper. and funny enough, he's never had kids. chopper dave went even further. my name is chopper dave. back in 2015, i took on the world's biggest cycling event, which is the tour de france, on my rusty raleigh chopper. a completely bonkers idea. take on the alps, the pyrenees, and do what the professionals do, but on my authentic raleigh chopper bike. and if anyone should know the credentials of this vehicle, it's david croft, sky's chief formula one commentator. as a young kid pedaling around the streets of stevenage, there was no other form of transport. what other bike could get your mates on the back, and the records that you bought from the record shop downtown? what other bike could you injure yourself severely on,

on the gear stick that was somehow put right at the front where you could do that? but what other bike looks as good as the chopper? it's totally impractical. absolutely beautiful. bring them back. well, your wish is raleigh's command. this limited edition new model goes on sale today. a bit pricey, mind. grown men all over britain and beyond are getting very excited. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. always wanted one, never had one. we have a couple in the studio. we'rejoined now by lee kidger, managing director of raleigh, and chopper fan. and cycle coach dave sims. chopper dave, that is quite a nickname. it chopper dave, that is quite a nickname-— chopper dave, that is quite a nickname._ but i chopper dave, that is quite a l nickname._ but you chopper dave, that is quite a - nickname._ but you love nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i do- _ nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i do. they _ nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i do. they are _ nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i do. they are iconic. - nickname. it is, yeah. but you love them? i do. they are iconic. they i them? i do. they are iconic. they have character _ them? i do. they are iconic. they have character in _ them? i do. they are iconic. they have character in abundance. - them? i do. they are iconic. they| have character in abundance. they are just amazing bikes.
