good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. prince harry prepares for his day in court this week as he sues the mirror group for phone—hacking allegations, which the newspapers deny. as tributes are paid to the two young people who died in the incident at bournemouth beach — police say they're keeping an open mind about what led to their deaths "a future time bomb" — the new warning about eating ultra—processed food, and its impact on our long—term health. and its impact on our bigger, and its impact on ourjuicier and sweeter than ever bigger, juicier and sweeter than ever before. this year's british strawberry season is upon us and it is meant to be one of the best ever.

i'll find out why that is so important, notjust to us but to the uk economy, as well. swapping celtic for spurs — is manager ange postecoglou set for a switch to the premier league after his treble—winning season in scotland? good morning. the weather you had last week will be very similar to the weather you will get this week. this morning is a cloudy start, the cloud burning back to the east coast but breezy and cool. the best of the sunshine in the west. all the details later in the programme. it's monday the 5th ofjune. the duke of sussex will become the first member of the royal family for more than 100 years to give evidence in court this week — as he enters the witness box in his legal battle against mirror group newspapers. prince harry claims his privacy was breached byjournalists and investigators working on 33 stories about him, dating back decades. mgn has apologised for the use of unlawful methods to gather information — including phone hacking — but says executives were unaware

of what was going on. here's our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. he's on a mission. prince harry surprised everyone by turning up in person in one of his other court battles against the newspapers. but this week, he'll enter the witness box — the first royal to do so since the future king edward vii gave evidence in 1870 in a slander case about a card game. this time, it's about dozens of stories the mirror newspapers published about harry — his social life, his girlfriends, his time in the army — 33 stories will be examined in court. and the focus — how journalists obtain them. it's claimed investigators like this man — glenn mulcaire — were paid to illegally access mobile—phone messages, or make calls to blag personal information, phone logs, medical records, bank details. a shadowy network dedicated to quickly getting information to back up stories.

it's claimed the duke of sussex was top of their list of targets, but these allegations date back long before his marriage to meghan. there was massive press interest in the identities of his early girlfriends, like chelsy davy. 0ne veteran of legal battles against the newspapers says, for the son of princess diana, it's personal. he doesn't want money. he doesn't want a resolution which gives him a quiet life. what he wants is his day in court. he wants to call mirror group to account for what they've done. and the only way he can do that is a trial. i would bet a substantial sum of money that prince harry has been offered a six—figure sum to settle this, because as far as the mirror is concerned, this is existential. for the newspapers, now owned by reach plc, losing this case could add millions of pounds to the cost of settling claims. it has already admitted that three newspapers — including the daily mirror,

once edited by tv presenter piers morgan — did use illegal methods to get information. but he denies knowing anything about it — as did the company's former chief executive, sly bailey, who's given evidence. the current case is mostly about the scale of the scandal, and possible financial penalties. prince harry is most likely to appear in this court tomorrow. he'll face barristers for the newspapers, who may address him as "sir" while attempting to knock holes in his case, while the world's media inevitably watches closely. tom symonds, bbc news, at the high court. we will talk more about that as the morning goes on. detectives say they're continuing to keep an "open mind" about what caused two children to die in the sea off bournemouth beach last week. joe abbess and sunnah khan, who were aged 17 and 12, died on wednesday afternoon. 0ur reporter nickjohnson joins us from bournemouth.

good morning. we have heard a line from dorset police and what else did they say in that update released last night? they say in that update released last niuht? ~ ., , they say in that update released last niuht? ~ . , ., last night? well, that they are continuing _ last night? well, that they are continuing to _ last night? well, that they are continuing to investigate - last night? well, that they are continuing to investigate what| continuing to investigate what happened here on the beach last wednesday afternoon. it was just beside the peer here where emergency services gathered to help that group of young people, we believe ten, that were in the water at the time. dorset police say it was half term last week, it was extremely busy on the beach, and they are asking anyone with mobile phone footage, photographic evidence, to get in touch with them. they have also addressed what they call a lot of significant speculation on news media and social media, particularly regarding a pleasure boat that was in the area at the time. dorset police have said previously that there was no incident involving a jet ski or a boat among these young people at the time and they say this pleasure boat was one of a number of

lines of inquiry, others including the weather conditions, the wind, and they say they are working with other agencies to try to ascertain what happened here last wednesday afternoon. a man in his 40s who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has since been released and police say they are continuing investigations. joe abbess, 17 years old, one of those young people who lost their lives, his family have described him as a lovely lad. they say they're heartbroken devastated at his loss and they said they are incredibly proud of the young man he was. he was an aspiring chef from southampton. sunnah khan wasjust 12, the other young person who lost her life. herfuneralwas 12, the other young person who lost her life. her funeral was held 12, the other young person who lost her life. herfuneral was held in high wycombe over the weekend, it is thought hundreds of people were there and the family member they're told the bbc she was a lovely girl and they are extremely upset by what happened. they were completely unknown to each other beforehand,

driven together by this tragic incident. . ~ driven together by this tragic incident. ., ~ , ., russia's defence ministry says it has thwarted a major ukrainian offensive, killing 250 troops and destroying 16 tanks. this drone footage, which has not been verified, was released by moscow — which says it shows the battle in southern donetsk region. kyiv has not responded to the claims, but ukrainian authorities have previously said that a counter—attack is being planned. more than 180 victims of the 0disha rail disaster in india are yet to be identified, nearly three days after it happened. three trains collided on friday, killing 275 people and injuring more than a thousand. india's railway minister has suggested it was caused by a signal fault. 0ur correspondent archna shukla has the latest. a pay cheque he hesitates to collect. this man was meant to be on the same ill—fated train as his wife —

but stayed back to run a last—minute errand. "my wife's image keeps flashing before my eyes. what am i to do that my wife is gone? money can be earned later, but nothing can bring her back," he tells me. family members have been gathering at the centre after the government announced compensation of £1,000 for the kin of the deceased. for others, the painful search is still on — sifting through photos, from hospital to hospital, and now morgue to morgue — inconsolable and traumatised. this 22—year—old can barely speak. his brother was on the train that crashed.

"can i see my brotherjust once?" he keeps repeating. at this makeshift morgue, he's just one of many who don't have answers yet. ten members of this man's family were on the train. eight found, one dead, and one still missing. his family spent £450 — much beyond their means — to come here from another state. "these photos are unrecognisable. how can we find him in this? i had never thought this would happen. just a day before, we had so much fun," he tells me. with limited resources to manage the dead, government has now shifted all the casualties to the capital city, five hours away from here. but over 180 bodies still remain unidentified. officials have started posting the photos of dead bodies

on government websites, and have said they'll start resorting to dna identification. these tracks that tell the story of loss are still being cleared. rail service has been restored on some tracks. attention has now turned to just why this disaster happened. archana shukla, bbc news, balasore, 0disha. the mother of a man who killed a stranger ten days after being discharged from a psychiatric unit is demanding a public apology from a health board. david fleet, from ceredigion, was sent home in 2019 despite warnings about his worsening mental state. he went on to fatally stab 71—year—old lewis stone. hywel dda health board has written a private letter to david's mother sharon, who says a public apology would be for both her son and his victim. a man will appear in court today

after he allegedly ran onto the track during saturday's epsom derby. ben newman, who is 32 and from east london, will face guildford magistrates, charged with causing a public nuisance. he was among 31 people who were arrested. the tv presenter holly willoughby is expected to return to the itv show this morning today. it'll be her first appearance since the departure of her long term co—host phillip schofield, who stepped down after admitting an affair with a younger colleague. social media scammers are conning schoolchildren out of thousands of pounds by falsely claiming they have access to this year's gcse and a—level exam papers. exam boards say it's extremely rare for papers to be leaked, but added that the scams are becoming more common, as kristian johnson reports. the half—term holidays are over, and students are back sitting exams this week. but away from the exam halls, scammers are targeting pupils on social media. instagram, tiktok and snapchat

accounts are among those claiming to sell leaked papers. £500, i'd say, for a paper was the typical offer from multiple accounts. for one exam paper? yeah, for one exam paper. 15—year—old jade is sitting her gcses. we've changed her name to protect her identity. she approached an account after seeing exams for sale on tiktok. they are everywhere. you would not run into a student in the uk who has not come into contact with these accounts. jade didn't buy an exam, but many other students have. the papers for sale on social media are highly unlikely to be genuine, but the scams are on the rise. click on this one — 2023 exam papers — with a z. exam boards are doing what they can to shut the accounts down. we were granted exclusive access with the team at aqa. once we've found one of these accounts we will record it, pass its information over to the security team. they'll determine whether it's

a genuine paper or if it's a hoax, and they'll work with the social media platforms to take — hopefully — the post and the account down. for students caught cheating, the implications could be severe — including the risk of being banned from exams altogether. these are almost always scams. don't fall for it. if you see something like that, report it to your school or college. you risk not only losing money, but the consequences for you are really serious — you could actually risk the qualification that you've been studying for. instagram, tiktok and snapchat all say the scammers break their community guidelines, and they add that people should report anyone claiming to sell exam papers. kristian johnson, bbc news. a butterfly which was thought to have been extinct in britain for nearly 100 years has been spotted in london. black—veined whites disappeared in 1925, but small numbers have been seen in fields and hedgerows in the south—east

outskirts of the capital. the butterfly conservation charity believes the insects were released into the wild — but it doesn't know who did it, or why. these pictures were taken by the bbc�*s security correspondent frank gardner. well, what i love he isa he is a butterfly lover. he is multitalented. _ he is a butterfly lover. he is multitalented. they - he is a butterfly lover. he is multitalented. they are - he is a butterfly lover. he is - multitalented. they are beautiful -ictures. multitalented. they are beautiful pictures- you _ multitalented. they are beautiful pictures. you have _ multitalented. they are beautiful pictures. you have to _ multitalented. they are beautiful pictures. you have to be - multitalented. they are beautiful pictures. you have to be quick. multitalented. they are beautiful pictures. you have to be quick orj pictures. you have to be quick or ou miss pictures. you have to be quick or you miss them. _ pictures. you have to be quick or you miss them. twitches - pictures. you have to be quick or you miss them. twitches four - pictures. you have to be quick or l you miss them. twitches four bed, what is the — you miss them. twitches four bed, what is the butterfly... _ you miss them. twitches four bed, what is the butterfly... flappers? l what is the butterfly... flappers? i'm not sure. i what is the butterfly... flappers? i'm not sure-— what is the butterfly... flappers? i'm not sure. ~ ., ., , i'm not sure. i know he will now why i'm not sure. i know he will now why i am not i'm not sure. i know he will now why i am not sure _ i'm not sure. i know he will now why i am not sure she _ i'm not sure. i know he will now why i am not sure she will. _ good morning, carol stops i thanks for that! good morning. the weather this week is very similar to last week in that we are starting most days with a lot of cloud which will burn back towards the east coast, where it will be cool and breezy.

the best of the sunshine will be in the west. a few showers possible. the next couple of days you could catch an isolated one in scotland and northern ireland and by the end of the week in the south—west and quarter of the country. that is really the only variation. starting a cloudy note today, through the davis cloud starts to retreat back to the east coast where it will linger in parts. it will be breezy here. still the north—easterly breeze coming in across east anglia, kent and the channel. towards the west, a lot of sunshine. a lot of dry weather in the forecast. just an isolated chance of the odd shower in northern ireland and scotland. temperatures today up to 23 or 2a degrees. possibly in northern ireland locally up to about 25. always that bit cooler along the north sea coast. in the sunshine today, uv levels are high more or less across the board and as we head into the evening a lot of sunshine.

0vernight once again all the cloud comes back in from the north sea, pushing west. clear skies to the west. these are the overnight lows, between seven and 10 degrees. tomorrow we start off once again with all this cloud. it will push back to the east coast, some stubborn to clear. towards the west we are looking at a sunny day, still the breeze in the south—east and through the english channel, and these are our temperatures. up to 22 or 23. we are enjoying the sunshine, carol, thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. the times reports more than 100,000 households "face a squeeze on their finances" as mortgage lenders increase rates, including santander and tsb over the weekend. the return of holly willoughby to this morning is on the the sun's front page, under the headline "phil: i won't watch holly". the paper quotes friends of the television presenter who say he will be "too devastated" to tune

in on monday morning. the i leads with its own research about attitudes towards artificial intelligence, with more than half of 18—to—24—year—olds telling the paper they are concerned the technology "will damage their employment prospects". "mad about harry" is the mirror's back page, reporting that real madrid are ready to make a £100 million move for the striker. the paper says this will cause a major headache for ange postecoglou, who's set to become the spurs boss by the end of this week. we have been talking about him already this morning. the old harry kane dilemma, will he stay or go? he is kane dilemma, will he stay or go? he: is assuming he will be there. bit of a change. we talk a bit on the programme in the last few weeks and months about fish and chip shops facing real problems because the price of fish has increased. 50 price of fish has increased. so expensive now! nearly - price of fish has increased. so

what you're going to do is, for two weeks — nancy, you're going to be doing the unprocessed diet, and amy, you're going to be eating the ultra—processed diet. then we're going to get you back here and then we're going to do the same tests again and look at how these different foods have impacted your health. the twins' diet will be matched exactly for calories, nutrients, fat, sugar and fibre. in the last decade, the evidence has been slowly growing that ultra—processed food is harmful for us in ways we hadn't thought. the twins find there is one ingredient they keeps seeing again and again on food packets. look — emulsifiers again. we've seen that a few times, haven't we? i yeah. emulsifiers are essentially a glue. they stick components together so that they have a good mouthfeel and they don't fall apart in your mouth or on the plate. so here we have carboxymethylcellulose — cmc — which is one of the commonest emulsifiers used in the food industry.

i'm just going to demonstrate what happens when you just add water to it, and it very rapidly becomes like a glue — the food industry uses around 60 different emulsifiers to enhance the appearance, texture and shelf life of ultra—processed foods. some are naturally occurring, others are chemically produced. it's found in an incredible number of our foods and they are potentially harmful. this doctor is leading one of the world's biggest studies into food additives, publishing regular reports based on the health and eating habits of 174,000 people. she's been looking at emulsifiers' long—term impact on health. the bbc has had exclusive access to the early results. they're yet to be verified by peer review, but she says they're concerning. we observed significant associations between emulsifier intake and increased risk of cancer overall — and breast cancer,

notably — but also with cardiovascular diseases. in england, wales and northern ireland, food safety is regulated by the food standards agency - the fsa. it says it's about to launch a public consultation on some emulsifiers. a spokesperson for the food and drink federation said... the results of the twins' test are now in. amy, you were on the ultra—processed food diet. your results were really quite different to your sister's. they were far worse. your blood—fat levels actually went up. your lipids — which are markers of heart disease — they were increased.

your blood sugar was noticeably worse. you actually gained weight — nearly a kilogram — and you actually lost weight. it's a bit scary, isn't it, after only two weeks to see those sorts of results? so just imagine what that would be over 20 years. after just two weeks of the test, the impact of amy's ultra—processed diet will be fully reversible. but the results are in line with a growing body of evidence linking chemical additives and ultra processing to serious health consequences. we already have the most obese children in europe. that means more type—two diabetes, more cancers, more heart disease, more misery, more mental illness. this really is a future time bomb. there are now dozens of scientific studies warning of the dangers of diets high in ultra—processed food. the twins' tests show the potential impact these foods can have on you in just two weeks. esme stallard, bbc news. the full bbc panorama investigation

is called ultra—processed food — a recipe for ill health? it's on bbc one at 8:00 tonight, and on the bbc iplayer afterwards. it is interesting because that stuff is everywhere, it is in everything on the table in every household. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme... it's a big day for the 500 words competition, as details are being released on exactly how budding writers can enter. we'll be getting some tips on creating a brilliant short story from the 500 words judge and horrid henry author francesca simon. that's at 7:50. i know that is something you have been very involved in.— been very involved in. these are -ictures been very involved in. these are pictures from — been very involved in. these are pictures from the _ been very involved in. these are pictures from the school- been very involved in. these are pictures from the school in - pictures from the school in doncaster when we were filming last week because the kids had a literacy lesson. i didn't understand most of what they were talking about. it is really technical.— really technical. that is a worry. as ou really technical. that is a worry. as you will _ really technical. that is a worry. as you will see, _ really technical. that is a worry. as you will see, it _ really technical. that is a worry. as you will see, it is _

edinburgh and liverpool. she then plans to cycle along the coast of wales, and will then finish back in london on the 2nd of september. a london charity is giving away its millionth book today, to help empower more children to read. the children's book project wants to tackle book poverty and create opportunities for those who don't own a book or have them to read at home. they promote book donation — and reuse — to help stock their pop—up stalls at london schools, hoping to motivate children to pick a book they are interested in and experience the power of reading. i realise that there's a real kind of emotional driver amongst parents who do buy books. and when they learn that some children are in the same position to own them, they want to share that onwards. let's take a look at the tubes now. on most tube lines this morning there's a good service. and although it's not appearing on your screen, on the london 0verground trains aren't stopping at rotherhithe while emergency services attend to an incident. and don't forget, for the rest of what's happening on the roads and rails wherever you are,

tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. a little bit of cloud this morning, especially towards north london and the home counties. in the south you have already got the brightness and that was bread the brightness and that was bread the cloud burning back in the afternoon. high pressure in charge. temperatures reaching 21 celsius in the sunshine. 0vernight we will see more cloud from the north and west. we still have a north—westerly breeze through today and overnight. that will lead to a grey start. minimum temperature around seven celsius. you can see the high pressure still with us. it stays with us through much of this week. the cloud on tuesday morning burning back throughout the day, ringing more sunshine in the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow once again getting up to 21 celsius. very little rain in the forecast for this

week. it stays dry, fine, with plenty of sunshine, especially towards the end of the week into the weekend. temperatures could get up to the mid to high 20s. that's it for now. but remember, you can keep up to date with all the latest on social media and on our website, where you can also see more on a species of butterfly, thought to be extinct, but has now suddenly appeared in countryside on the edge of london. and if you're near your radio or smart speaker, join bbc radio london to have your say on the day's top stories. i'm back in half an hour. but for now, i'll hand you back to sally and jon. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we've talked about the weather. carol has been telling us there is more sunshine to come. strawberry season is here, and this year's crop is looking even more tempting than usual. there is a very scientific reason

why. ben's on a farm in warrington to tell us why. good morning. yes. the strawberries are particularly good. just have a look. we are being told they are bigger, sweeter and juicier than ever before. this firm has rows and rows of these strawberry plants. they harvest them. people do pick your own as well. the reason it is such a good crop of strawberries is also the reason that it is a late start to the strawberry picking time in the uk. the cooler than average april and may has meant the food has taken a little bit longer to ripen. the glorious sunshine we have had in recent weeks as mentor plenty of energy for these stroppy plans to absorb and convert into sugar, all of which means tastier food. —— strawberry plants. do we like or

strawberries? but fear not, the british growers association, whose members provide about 95% of the berries we find in supermarkets, says that this year's fruit will be bigger, juicier and sweeter than past years. together make up the biggest proportion of all food sold in this country, a whopping 28% is the market share. that accounts for a lot of money. £1.7 billion. of course, i have been filling up the opponent here. it would be a shame not to when you come to a strawberry farm and you have the run of the place. let's speak to the farmer who runs this strawberry farm. this is todd. is that reflective of your experience, what i havejust described about the weather and the impact on the harvest?— impact on the harvest? absolutely, es. you impact on the harvest? absolutely, yes- you have _ impact on the harvest? absolutely, yes. you have done _ impact on the harvest? absolutely, yes. you have done that _ impact on the harvest? absolutely, yes. you have done that abate - impact on the harvest? absolutely, yes. you have done that abate veryj yes. you have done that abate very well. . ~ yes. you have done that abate very well. ., ,, , ., yes. you have done that abate very well. . ~' ,, �* yes. you have done that abate very well. . ~ , ., �* ., yes. you have done that abate very well. ., ,, i. ~ ., ., well. thank you. and how important is the strawberry _ well. thank you. and how important is the strawberry crop _ well. thank you. and how important is the strawberry crop to _ well. thank you. and how important is the strawberry crop to your -

to the end of september into 0ctober. and we need these tunnels to achieve that. so, these are strawberries that you are looking at produced a crop last year, and then we overwintered them, and in order to get them right for now, which is early, we have had to cover them up to bring them forward. and we have got some strawberries in the field outside that are two weeks, three weeks behind these. so the tunnels give us the ability to manipulate the crop. give us the ability to manipulate the cro. ~ give us the ability to manipulate the cro.~ ,~ give us the ability to manipulate thecro.~ ., the crop. with the pick your own eo - le, the crop. with the pick your own people. you _ the crop. with the pick your own people. you are _ the crop. with the pick your own people, you are going _ the crop. with the pick your own people, you are going to - the crop. with the pick your own people, you are going to take i the crop. with the pick your own i people, you are going to take them home, maybe drizzle some cream, may be some sugar. what do you do as a farm with the strawberries you produce? do they all go out to be bought as fresh fruit, do they get turned into a jam, what happens? all turned into a jam, what happens? fill ourto turned into a jam, what happens? fill our to gets sold from the farm shop, or pick your own. we don't sell strawberries onto anybody else. what are the customers do is entirely up

good morning. his stock is high with spurs looking to pounce, less than 48 hours after clinching that treble. talks expected to begin in the next couple of days. the australian has been hoovering up silverware in scotland ever since his appointment at celtic two years ago, winning five of the six domestic trophies available to him. and with the scottish cup and that treble now in the bag tottenham are expected to make their move with talks expected to begin in the coming days. we have seen some unbelievable comebacks in football's play—offs. we had another last night. ross county securing top flight football scottish premiership, after beating partick thistle in what was an absolute classic. the game went to penalties, despite partick being 3—0 up at half time, and josh sims scored to ensure the highlands side would remain in the top flight. heartbreak for thistle fans, who at one point thought they were on the brink of promotion. another extraordinary match. west

ham fans, not long ago until they potentially can get their hands on some silverware. they are gearing up for the europa conference league final this week against fiorentina in prague on wednesday. the winners will not only lift the trophy, but also qualify automatically for the europa league next season. and manchester city eyeing that historic trouble themselves following saturday's fa cup final victory against rivals manchester united. pep guardiola's premier league champions heavy favourites ahead of facing inter milan in the champions league. 0r dancing to come, i'm sure, if they can do it. that would of course completely european dream that the clubs owners have had since they bought at the club in 2008. how about this for an extraordinary player and an extraordinary career? former manchester united striker zlatan ibrahimovic has retired from football at the age of a1. he bid an emotional farewell at the san siro after his current club ac milan played their final game of the season.

he played more than 600 games for teams like juventus, barcelona and both milan clubs, scoring over 400 goals in his career. he was capped 122 times by sweden, and scored 62 times for his country. he's kept himself sulphate. an unbelievable player. and yet you can see how much fans feel he has given to them as well. he looks completely overwhelmed. doesn't he just? england's cricket selectors have some thinking to do this morning, after spinnerjack leach was ruled out of the ashes series against australia with a stress fracture in his back. a scan confirmed the injury after england best ireland in their one off test on saturday. the question is who will come in to replace him with the first ashes test starting next week? there are arguably no obvious alternatives. maybe england will try to tempt adil

rashid or moeen ali out of retirement. the first test begins in edgbaston onjune 16. another sunday and another race win for max verstappen. the red bull driver has won his 5th formula 1 race of the season, by leading from pole to flag in spain. the dutchman was followed home by lewis hamilton and george russell on an encouraging day for mercedes. this result is definitely what we're working towards, and this is amazing and down to all the great, great work that's going on with the people back at the factory, just keeping their heads down. i hope everyone's feeling really proud back at the factory. and george did a greatjob today, so we delivered good points on the whole. we've just got to keep this up. for us to be quicker than the ferraris and the astons today was really mega. good to see him back up there. novak djokovic has reached the last eight of the french opener. his win over peru's juan pablo varillas on sunday means he reaches a record 17th french open men's quarter—final. it could now mean the match—up

in the semi—finals everyone wants to see, against the player seen as his biggest challenger — top seed and current men's world number one carlos alcaraz. djokovic still has the chance to overtake raff and adele by winning a record 23rd grand slam men's singles title. —— rafa nadal. rory mcilroy shared the lead going into the final round of the memorial tournament. but it was won by viktor hovland. this summed it up for the northern irishman on the 12th. that would have given in birdie and a shot off the lead. from there on michael roy dropped a further three shots and regained a share of the lead. it became almost impossible at that point. michael dunlopjoined john mcguinness as the second most successful rider in the history of the isle of man tt, by taking a commanding start—to—finish victory in the six—lap superbike race. he's nowjust three behind the record total of 26 triumphs achieved by his legendary late uncle joey. brothers ben and tom birchall set a lap record en route to winning the sidecar race, extending their winning

streak to 10. they set a 120 miles per hour lap on the second lap. this their 13th tt win. unbelievable speeds. but it is the control comedy talents, the execution that they all produce over the course of this race. you talk about pouring everything into it, thatis about pouring everything into it, that is what they do. it is the absolute concentration. at those speeds you have to be absolutely precise. execution is what it is all about. they did that brilliantly. if your home is full of gadgets and kit that you hardly ever use, then you may wish to considerjoining a library. not a library for books, but a library of stuff. there's one in hull where you can borrow almost anything, from drills and carpet cleaners, to a sewing machine or a thermal camera, forjust a few pounds. philip norton went for a look.

brighten up, the cloud burning away to the east. high pressure in charge. it has been with us a wee while. moving a little bit but not a lot. the air around it coming from a clockwise direction. so that it does mean we are dragging in this cloud from the north sea by night. it is breezy by day, along the north sea coastline, the south—east and the english channel. that combination is making it feel cool. 0ut towards the west we start with the sunshine. we are looking at widespread sunshine as we go through the course the afternoon. that is reflected in the temperatures. we are looking at 23, maybe 24, 25 in northern ireland. where we have got the breeze and the cloud along the north sea coastline it will feel cooler. uv levels are high more or less across the board today. something to bear in mind if you are going to be outside. then a lot of early evening sunshine before the cloud comes back in from the north sea and it pushes further

west. we hang on to keen north—easterly breeze through the south—east of england and also into the english channel. it is not going to be a particularly cold night. seven to 10 degrees being the overnight low. tomorrow we start off once again on this cloudy note. through the day it will push back to the east. some of it will be quite stubborn to clear the east. some of us will see some holes in it in eastern areas. like today, we could catch the odd shower in scotland and northern ireland. it will be fairly isolated, really hit and miss. 0ur temperatures are still cooler along the north sea coastline and higher as we push out towards the west. we are looking at the low 20s. as we move on into wednesday we hit the repeat button more or less. we start off on a cloudy note. it pushes back to eastern areas. you can see it burning up in many parts of the east. still we have this keen breeze from the north sea. a lot of sunshine in the afternoon, 23, 20 4

degrees. not quite as chilly along the north sea coastline. thursday sees again more cloud coming in from the east. but pushing back towards the east. but pushing back towards the east through the day. we have got some showers not too far away. we are likely to see them through the overnight period. these are the temperatures during thursday, 21 or 22. it is still good. looking lovely. thank you. a man who said nature helped him survive leukaemia is now sharing his passion with others. he has left his job and set up a bird—watching company in derbyshire. time to explore, chat and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. these are carers, along with some of the people they care for, are being led around foremark reservoir by stewart abbott from derbyshire.

i want people to get out in the peace and quiet, tranquillity, particularly today, because it's a group of carers, a bit of escapism. it's notjust this kind of scenery that stewart says makes this such a mindful experience, it's everything. being connected to nature, the colours, the sense of community, those things that, when you don't have them, you really miss. and that's something he knows all about. in 2018, stewart was diagnosed with hairy cell leukaemia. he underwent nine months of treatment, which included chemotherapy and hospital isolation at the royal derby. his immune system was destroyed. spending most of my time in an isolation room in the hospital. and again, with one little window to look out and hoping that a wood pigeon would fly past or something, to give me that connection with wildlife while i was in there. that was difficult, difficult. after recovering he returned to work, selling white goods. but months later, the pandemic hit, and stewart had to shield. i'm one of the lucky people that

happen to have a garden. i always kept that connection with wildlife throughout it all. it's the one thing that got me through it. i don't know what i would have done without it, to be honest. while he was ill stewart became determined to do more of what he loved. and so, in 2022, he set up derbyshire bird tours. just over a year later, he quit his dayjob. you never know how short life can be. and i was close to it, so, for me, this is a dream come true. it's been absolutely wonderful. it's been really nice, because you just lose yourself. you meet lots of carers. you've got something in common to talk to them about. it's time out for me. he's got time out with his friend, because i can't always leave himi on his own. and not having the worry of, i i've got to get back to do this or do that. also among the group is anthea, who cares for her husband bill, who lives with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. just lovely to be amongst people. a bit of contact, social contact.

yeah, because the disease can be very socially isolating, and it gets| more so as it progresses. so, it's lovely to have some contact with people and just talk— about ordinary things and happy things. i we are working in conjunction with the national trust. they are giving us monthly community passes to bring our unpaid carers to access the sights for their well—being. it's really lovelyjust seeing them so in the moment. carers in particular do such a difficultjob. i've got so much admiration for people that, you give up your life for the people you love, you know. so, for them to come out here today and just relax for a couple of hours, that gives me so much pleasure. elise chamberlain reporting. if you're a budding young writer, it's time to sharpen your pencil and grab some paper, because bbc breakfast and bbc teach is relaunching the 500 words competition. from today, schools across the uk can find out more details on how contest

coast. the rest of the sunshine will be in the west. all the details later in the programme. it's monday the 5th ofjune. our main story. the duke of sussex will become the first member of the royal family for more than 100 years to give evidence in court this week — as he enters the witness box in his legal battle against mirror group newspapers. prince harry claims his privacy was breached byjournalists and investigators working on 33 stories about him, dating back decades. mgn has apologised for the use of unlawful methods to gather information — including phone hacking — but says executives were unaware of what was going on. here's our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. he's on a mission. prince harry surprised everyone by turning up in person in one of his other court battles against the newspapers. but this week, he'll enter the witness box — the first royal to do so since the future king edward vi! gave evidence in 1870 in a slander

case about a card game. this time, it's about dozens of stories the mirror newspapers published about harry — his social life, his girlfriends, his time in the army — 33 stories will be examined in court. and the focus — how journalists obtain them. it's claimed investigators like this man — glenn mulcaire — were paid to illegally access mobile—phone messages, or make calls to blag personal information, phone logs, medical records, bank details. a shadowy network dedicated to quickly getting information to back up stories. it's claimed the duke of sussex was top of their list of targets, but these allegations date back long before his marriage to meghan. there was massive press interest in the identities of his early girlfriends, like chelsy davy. 0ne veteran of legal battles against the newspapers says, for the son of princess diana, it's personal. he doesn't want money. he doesn't want a resolution

which gives him a quiet life. what he wants is his day in court. he wants to call mirror group to account for what they've done. and the only way he can do that is a trial. i would bet a substantial sum of money that prince harry has been offered a six—figure sum to settle this, because as far as the mirror is concerned, this is existential. for the newspapers, now owned by reach plc, losing this case could add millions of pounds to the cost of settling claims. it has already admitted that three newspapers — including the daily mirror, once edited by tv presenter piers morgan — did use illegal methods to get information. but he denies knowing anything about it — as did the company's former chief executive, sly bailey, who's given evidence. the current case is mostly about the scale of the scandal, and possible financial penalties. prince harry is most likely to appear in this court tomorrow.

he'll face barristers for the newspapers, who may address him as "sir" while attempting to knock holes in his case, while the world's media inevitably watches closely. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds is outside the high court in london. how are we expecting this case to play out over the coming days? so play out over the coming days? 5r this is part of the high court in central london. not a criminal court, a civil court. for the next three days they will be considering prince harry's case against mirror group newspapers. today, opening statements, probably about all four of the cases that are being heard by this court. that is opening statements for the claimants, prince harry's side, and we expect opening statements by the defendants, mirror group newspapers. it is at that point that prince harry appears in the witness box to give his evidence. you will answer some questions from his own barrister

first, that might be quite short, oftenjust confirming first, that might be quite short, often just confirming that he has written the statement and it is his statement. the main event will be the cross examination from mirror group newspapers which could go on for some hours. it is likely that mgn will make the case, ask questions to him, suggesting that these 33 stories are not based on illegal phone hacking or information gathering from private investigators, but on often the things he, prince harry, has said it to journalists and to others. and that other people have said about him, and that there may be sources inside the palace and other places that might have given stories about prince harry to the newspapers. it is his day in court, he has refused to settle this case, refused to take probably an offer from mirror group newspapers, and so it is the first time he will have his moment here and it is due to unfold as this week progresses. brute and it is due to unfold as this week progresses-— progresses. we will be watching. thank you- _ detectives say they're continuing to keep an "open mind"

about what caused two children to die in the sea off bournemouth beach last week. joe abbess and sunnah khan, who were aged 17 and 12, died on wednesday afternoon. 0ur reporter nickjohnson joins us from bournemouth. dorset police have released an update overnight. what does it say, please? update overnight. what does it say, lease? ~ . , . please? well, that they are continuing _ please? well, that they are continuing to _ please? well, that they are continuing to investigate i please? well, that they are | continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident on bournemouth beach last wednesday afternoon. it was here, just beside bournemouth pier, that emergency services tended to those ten young people in the water, two of whom we know have since died. police say it was extremely busy on the beach, it was half term, they have asked people with mobile phone footage, photographic footage, to get in touch with them and submit it to them. police have also crucially addressed what they describe as

significant speculation on social media, regarding a pleasure boat that was in the area at the time of the incident. police had previously said the young people in the water did not come into contact with any boat orjet ski. a man who was on the water at the time of the incident, in his 405, who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, has since been released pending further investigation. joe abbess was 17, his family has said they are devastated and heartbroken by his loss but very proud of the young man that he was. he was an aspiring chef from southampton. sunnah khan was 12, from high wycombe in buckinghamshire. herfuneralwas buckinghamshire. her funeral was held over the buckinghamshire. herfuneralwas held over the weekend. it is thought hundreds of people with air. a family member told the bbc she was a lovely girl and they are extremely upset by what happened. joe abbess and sunnah khan, completely unknown to each other in life but of course driven together by this tragic incident. ., ., ., ,, , ., , incident. for now, thank you very much indeed. _

more than 180 victims of the 0disha rail disaster in india are yet to be identified, nearly three days after it happened. three trains collided on friday, killing 275 people and injuring more than a thousand. india's railway minister has suggested it was caused by a signal fault. 0ur correspondent archna shukla has the latest. a pay cheque he hesitates to collect. this man was meant to be on the same ill—fated train as his wife — but stayed back to run a last—minute errand. "my wife's image keeps flashing before my eyes. what am i to do that my wife is gone? money can be earned later, but nothing can bring her back," he tells me. family members have been gathering at the centre after the government announced compensation of £1,000 for the kin of the deceased. for others, the painful search is still on — sifting through photos,

from hospital to hospital, and now morgue to morgue. inconsolable and traumatised. 22—year—old himanshu can barely speak. his brother was on the train that crashed. "can i see my brotherjust once?" he keeps repeating. at this makeshift morgue, he's just one of many who don't have answers yet. ten members of this mukul singh's family were on the train. ten members of mukul singh's family were on the train. eight found, one dead, and one still missing. his family spent £450 — much beyond their means — to come here from another state. "these photos are unrecognisable.

how can we find him in this? i had never thought this would happen. just a day before, we had so much fun," he tells me. with limited resources to manage the dead, government has now shifted all the casualties to the capital city, five hours away from here. but over 180 bodies still remain unidentified. officials have started posting the photos of dead bodies on government websites, and have said they'll start resorting to dna identification. these tracks that tell the story of loss are still being cleared. rail service has been restored on some tracks. attention has now turned to just why this disaster happened. archana shukla, bbc news, balasore, 0disha.

becomes more widespread as we go through the course of the afternoon. always truly along the north sea coastline, warm air as we push out to the west, and the uv levels once again today are high more or less across the board. tonight we start off with some sunshine but then we see more cloud coming in overnight from the north sea pushing steadily eastwards, still this breeze in the south—eastern corner and overnight nine to 12 degrees will be our lows and then tomorrow it is hit repeat once again. hit and then tomorrow it is hit repeat once again-— and then tomorrow it is hit repeat once again. hit repeat, i like that. thank you- _ moscow is claiming that russian forces have repelled a major attack by ukraine in the east, killing 250 troops and destroying 16 tanks. kyiv is yet to respond to those claims but ukrainian authorities have been warning for weeks that a counter—offensive is being planned. despite the ongoing dangers — and against official advice — thousands of ukrainians are returning to their homes, close to the front line.

0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse made the long journey with some of them. the end of the line. we're on a journey which people are being told not to take. a train — notjust to the battlefield, but home. viktoria has had enough of being a refugee, and is heading back with her precious cargo — her baby. translation: it was impossible to live like that. _ we travelled all around slovakia and ukraine, but i have to settle our family. this is where we belong. after travelling across the country, she's welcomed by who she left behind. her husband serhiy.

translation: i feel overwhelmed. i'm very glad to see my beautiful daughter and my wife. here, men typically stay behind to eitherfight or, in his case, work. he and thousands of others chose to stay for this coal mine. it's a major employer which binds pokrovsk together. workers have to balance their safety with simple economics. "i had to continue working," volodymyr tells us. "i also need to financially support my family who've come back." his employer is still hiring staff. despite the dangers, it's an enticing prospect for those thinking about returning. mining is, after all, part of the donetsk region's dna. before the full—scale invasion pokrovsk�*s population was 65,000. it dropped to a third, but is now rising.

it's become a destination for those escaping occupied cities. residents have also been enticed back by power and water being restored. but the sharp end of this conflict is just 26 miles from here. it's why locals are being told to stay away. is it safe enough for people to return to pokrovsk? translation: no. even though pokrovsk is not right at the front of the donetsk region, we cannot say it is a safe city. multiple rocket launchers can reach here. 0n the outskirts of the city, closer to that threat, is the last line of defence. amidst all of the talk of a ukrainian counteroffensive, there's always a risk of the russians breaking through the line. there is a sympathy in the trenches for those wanting to come home.

"if you have to die," this man tells me, "it's better to die at home than somewhere abroad." it's the watchful eyes of soldiers which are allowing people to move back into harm's way. for this family, it's a conscious decision. translation: who knows when it will become safe here? _ maybe a year, two or five. we don't want to wait even one year. overall, we are prepared. yes? in these times of turmoil, there is a hope and belief they won't last forever. futures depend on it. james waterhouse, bbc news, pokrovsk in eastern ukraine. james waterhouse joins us now form kyiv.

what more can you tell us about these claims from moscow that ukraine has now launched this major attack? brute ukraine has now launched this ma'or attack? ~ ., ., ., ., attack? we are told that it failed, in the words _ attack? we are told that it failed, in the words of _ attack? we are told that it failed, in the words of russia's _ attack? we are told that it failed, in the words of russia's defence l in the words of russia's defence ministry. given that we cannot verify these claims i think we need to take everything with a pinch of salt. nevertheless, we are told that it failed. that more than 250 troops were killed. and footage has been released which appears to show armoured vehicles coming under really heavy artillery fire as they make their way across vast green fields. we are going to talk about this i think a lot in the coming days and weeks, about the much anticipated, in these parts much hoped—for, ukrainian counteroffensive, where it finally tries to take back territory seized by russia nine years ago, where its campaign of aggression was first waged. we had the government here in kyiv released a video over the

weekend saying plans like silence. it is a cryptic video, they had ukrainianjust it is a cryptic video, they had ukrainian just putting their finger over their mouths. i think messaging is everything in these times and when this counteroffensive starts depends on what official you ask and whether they are just trying to confuse moscow but we have seen this alleged advance, as claimed by the russian side, overnight. we have had ukraine claim to have minimal gains elsewhere, continued fighting inside russian territory, spiked by a major incursion by pro—ukrainian militants who are russian nationals. when you take these things together, we are seeing an increase in military activity from the ukrainian side. whether this is part of that spearhead of a much anticipated campaign, i don't think that will materialise soon. but i think expectations are also being managed, not least from the west, where they

will come up against stiff russian resistance and we are talking about huge swathes of territory which you cranie —— which ukraine would love to liberate. cranie -- which ukraine would love to liberate-— to liberate. what is the latest on ca tured to liberate. what is the latest on captured russian _ to liberate. what is the latest on captured russian soldiers? i to liberate. what is the latest on | captured russian soldiers? well, there is a desire _ captured russian soldiers? well, there is a desire exchange i captured russian soldiers? -ii there is a desire exchange where these pro—ukrainian militants crossed the border and they are now claiming to have taken several towns along the border inside russia. they say they took several russian prisoners of war and urged the governor to meet for a prisoner exchange. the governor said i wouldn't otherwise negotiate but because you have our guys lets meet. what we are hearing this morning is that meeting ever happened and the militants say they will hand the prisoners to the ukrainian authorities.— prisoners to the ukrainian authorities. , , , authorities. three is interesting is for two reasons. _ authorities. three is interesting is for two reasons. firstly _ authorities. three is interesting is for two reasons. firstly -- i authorities. three is interesting is

0ur health correspondent nikki fox went to the port of felixstowe, in suffolk, to see how the inspection team is preparing. the food on our plate isn't very local — almost half is imported from outside the uk. the port of felixstowe is the largest of its kind in the country, handling four million containers a year. but who exactly makes sure what we eat is safe? usually, we'll obtain, like, 40 to 70 containers a day. today we've got meat products. we've got this one from thailand, and this one, as well, and then we got one from china. at the moment, the only products routinely checked are from outside the eu. finding the food that's potentially dangerous could mean saving lives. so we've had some fish come in, some sea bream, they've been infected with, like, parasites, and they basically take over the fish's tongue so that when they saw them, obviously it was quite a shock because it's the whole consignment. so, obviously, it's really important we're stopping it coming in to make sure that standards are being upheld. the temperature of frozen meat is taken to make sure it's below —18.

the team's veterinary surgeon even heats up some of the cooked chicken to check it isn't rotten. now we check the properties on the product — the smell, the texture and the taste. she's looking out for food infected by salmonella — and with pork, african swine fever�*s a risk. most of the illnesses come from animals. they pass from animals to people. if you have one of these big outbreaks, it's very, very bad for — not only for economy, for people's food. produce from the eu makes up two thirds of food imports. the government delayed the introduction of checks after brexit, as it believed it could be a burden on business. but that won't be the case for much longer. the team here inspects 100,000 containers a year, but from october they could be checking a lot more. that's when they finally start looking at eu food imports, and the brexit changes

come into force. i can see that one of colleagues has asked my you for ingredients, and that's just all that's outstanding for us so we can just do the final checks. in the operations room, they're preparing for an increase in work. the port health authority's part of the local council, but it funds checks by charging importers a fee. the government hasn't told you yet which checks you're going to have to carry out on eu imports. how difficult does that make things when this is going live in october? it puts me in quite a difficult position. unknown figures are really difficult to deal with in terms of planning. having a low level of checks means i might not need so many staff, whereas if they increase significantly then obviously we need to turn things around in a timely manner and get the trade flowing through smoothly. but it's notjust about new inspections on food from inside the eu. as the government strikes trade deals with the rest of the world, increased checks could be needed. for example, we could import more

chicken from brazil. as more and more markets open up across the world, we get more and more produce coming in, more exotic items, and more exotic commodities. so we have to be really on our toes. this team's becoming increasingly important, now we're out of the eu. they're confident they'll continue to keep our meals safe without disruption to supply. nikki fox, bbc news. 0ne food we shouldn't need to import for the next month or two is strawberries. they are plentiful! it is all down to the weather we have had and the sun is really helping. 0ur to the weather we have had and the sun is really helping. our own strawberries are booming. ben's on a fruit farm in cheshire. good morning. bigger, juicier and good morning. bigger, 'uicier and sweeterthan * good morning. bigger, 'uicier and sweeter than ever. it i good morning. bigger, 'uicier and sweeter than ever. it isi good morning. bigger, juicier and sweeter than ever. it is a i good morning. bigger, juicier and sweeter than ever. it is a perfectl sweeter than ever. it is a perfect strawberry— sweeter than ever. it is a perfect strawberry season. a bit later than normal _ strawberry season. a bit later than normal but — strawberry season. a bit later than normal but that is down to the

a record—breaking cyclist from london will today begin a 3,000—mile challenge on a handmade bamboo bike around the circumference of the uk to raise awareness of the climate crisis. kate strong — who holds three cycling world records — will set off from westminster, cycling to norwich for her first official stop, before travelling to places including edinburgh and liverpool. she then plans to cycle along the coast of wales, and will then finish back in london on the 2nd of september. a london charity is giving away its millionth book today to help empower more children to read. the children's book project wants to tackle book poverty and create opportunities for those who don't own a book or have them to read at home. they promote book donation — and reuse — to help stock their pop—up stalls at london schools, hoping to motivate children to pick a book they are interested in and experience the power of reading. i realise that there's a real kind of emotional driver amongst parents who do buy books. and when they learn that some children are in the same

position to own them, they want to share that onwards. let's take a look at the tubes now. on most tube lines this morning there's a good service. but a couple of things that aren't on the rainbow board. 0n the trams there are minor delays between elmers end and wimbledon because of a shortage of trams. and on the london 0verground trains aren't stopping at rotherhithe while emergency services attend to an incident. and don't forget, for the rest of what's happening on the roads and rails wherever you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of cloud first thing this morning, especially towards north london, the home counties, but you can see in the south we've already got the brightness, with the cloud burning back through the afternoon. we still have high pressure in charge, and temperatures today reaching 21 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight, we'll see more cloud spreading back in from the north and west. we still have the north—westerly breeze through today and overnight,

as well, so that will lead to a grey start tomorrow morning — minimum temperature around seven celsius. but you can see the high pressure's still with us, and it stays with us through much of this week. the cloud on tuesday morning burning back throughout the day, bringing more sunshine through the afternoon, and temperatures tomorrow once again getting up to 21 celsius. now, there's very little rain in the forecast for this week, really — it stays dry, fine, with plenty of sunshine — especially towards the end of the week into the weekend. temperatures could get up to the mid to high 205. remember, you can keep up to date with all the latest on social media and on our website, where you can also see more how russian and belarussian tennis players hoping to come and play at wimbledon are still waiting for their uk visas. that's it for now, but i'm back with more in half an hour — but now it's back tojon and sally. goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. exa m exam season continues, you might be going back to school today to continue with all of that. social media scammers are conning schoolchildren out of thousands of pounds by falsely claiming they have access to this year's gcse and a level exam papers. exam boards say it's extremely rare for papers to be leaked, but warned that the scams are becoming more common. kristian johnson has more. the half—term holidays are over, and students are back sitting exams this week. but away from the exam halls, scammers are targeting pupils on social media. instagram, tiktok and snapchat accounts are among those claiming to sell leaked papers. £500, i'd say, for a paper was the typical offer from multiple accounts. for one exam paper? yeah, for one exam paper. 15—year—old jade is sitting her gcses. we've changed her name

to protect her identity. she approached an account after seeing exams for sale on tiktok. they are everywhere. you would not run into a student in the uk who has not come into contact with these accounts. jade didn't buy an exam, but many other students have. the papers for sale on social media are highly unlikely to be genuine, but the scams are on the rise. click on this one — 2023 exam papers — with a z. exam boards are doing what they can to shut the accounts down. we were granted exclusive access with the team at aqa. once we've found one of these accounts we will record it, pass its information over to the security team. they'll determine whether it's a genuine paper or if it's a hoax, and they'll work with the social media platforms to take — hopefully — the post and the account down. for students caught cheating, the implications could be severe — including the risk of being banned from exams altogether. these are almost always scams. don't fall for it.

if you see something like that, report it to your school or college. you risk not only losing money, but the consequences for you are really serious — you could actually risk the qualification that you've been studying for. instagram, tiktok and snapchat all say the scammers break their community guidelines, and they add that people should report anyone claiming to sell exam papers. kristian johnson, bbc news. margaret farragher is from thejoint council for qualifications. she joins us from county down. and karl harrison is a head teacher. morning. margaret, first of all, how much of a problem are these scammers? i would much of a problem are these scammers? iwould imagine much of a problem are these scammers? i would imagine at this time of the year lots of children are feeling vulnerable? you time of the year lots of children are feeling vulnerable?- are feeling vulnerable? you are absolutely _ are feeling vulnerable? you are absolutely right. _ are feeling vulnerable? you are absolutely right. every - are feeling vulnerable? you are absolutely right. every summerj absolutely right. every summer series we see these individuals set “p series we see these individuals set up multiple accounts, deliberately trying to target young people who are at their most vulnerable at this

handful of trophies with celtic this season, spurs will look to appoint ange postecoglou in the next three days. winning the scottish cup could be as last game. having hoovered up silverware in scotland ever since his appointment two years ago, tottenham are now logging. their managerial position is vacant since antonio conte 's departure. the way things have been going there, it will be a tough job things have been going there, it will be a toughjob he has his hands. he will certainly need some luck as well. we have seen some unbelievable comebacks in the play—offs of late and we had another last night. ross county making sure of their top flight status. they came back from three nil down against partick thistle of the championship before winning it on penalties. josh sims with the crucial goal that ensured they take that spot in the top flight next season. heartbreak for thistle fans who at one point thought they were on the brink of promotion. another extraordinary match.

this next guy has been involved in a few of those. but no more. the former manchester united striker zlatan ibrahimovic retiring from football at the age of iii. a tearful farewll, leaving his current club ac milan after their final game of the season. he wasn't the only one looking emotional. listen to this cv — juventus, barcelona both milan clubs, paris saint germain. over 112 caps for his country sweden — undoubtedly one of the modern greats in football. it was super league's magic weekend were all teams play at st james' park in newcastle.

st helens were at their spell—binding best. jack leach has been ruled out of the ashes series against australia. a scan confirmed a stress fracture in his back after england beat ireland in theirfinal his back after england beat ireland in their final test. the question now is who will come into the team to replace him? the first ashes test starts next week. no obvious alternatives. you wonder. will england attempt to tempt adil rashad or moeen ali out of retirement? the first test begins onjune i6 or moeen ali out of retirement? the first test begins onjune 16 at adjutant. —— adds wisdom. another sunday and another win for max verstappen. the red bull driver won his 5th formula 1 race of the season, leading from pole to flag in spain. the dutchman was followed home by lewis hamilton and george russell on a more encouraging

day for mercedes. i had ihada i had a bit of an issue when i started the race. i didn't put all my hair in my balaclava. i had her dangling down and was flickering in front of my eyes. that was annoying. then, as i started to sweat, it was dripping down my hair. it was jumping onto the visor on the inside. so, it took me about four laps to realise what was going on. that was sort of when i wiped my visor. the water didn't disappear. so i put two and two together and work it out. love it. just get out of it! get out of my way! what can you do? how do you deal with a bad hair day when you deal with a bad hair day when you are driving at 200 mph? you have got other things to worry about. you can't just pull over and about. you can'tjust pull over and get out. time is money, right? talking about humidity in the air. it makes your hair grow frizzy.

carol can tell us if the weather is going to continue. sunny in the west. to show you an example of yesterday's temperatures, the top temperatures were in the west, 2a or 25 degrees. cooler in the east. like today, we have had a fair bit of cloud like the last few daysin fair bit of cloud like the last few days in eastern areas. high pressure still in charge. this high pressure has been with us for a wee while. just slightly altering its position. we start this morning with a lot of cloud once again. it is the west that has got the breaks in it. as we go through the course of today, it will continue to push back, burn back, towards the east coast. so that process will take its time. but the sunshine will become more widespread through the day. we still have the keen north—easterly breeze across east anglia, kent and the english channel. that is also taking the edge off the temperatures, which today would be cooler in the east and they are going to be in the

west. today we could once again see 24, west. today we could once again see 2a, possibly 25 degrees in northern ireland. through this evening there will be a lot of early evening sunshine. then the cloud comes back in from the north sea. it pushes steadily westwards. clear skies in the west. these are the overnight lows. not particularly cold. eight to about 10 degrees. tomorrow we start once again with all of this cloud. it retreats back to the east coast. some of it will be slow to clear. some of it won't clear at all from the east. and we still have these nagging —— these nagging north—easterly breeze across east anglia and kent, as well as the english channel. today and tomorrow there is a small chance of the odd shower in northern ireland and also scotland. that will be the exception rather than the rule. these are the temperatures. up to 21, 22, possibly 23 degrees in the sunshine in the west. still that bit cooler, 1a or

15, longley north sea coastline. into wednesday we do it all over again. a lot of dry weather. the cloud back to the east. it is not everywhere. we will see some more of that cloud producing the odds shower across the higher ground in scotland. and we hang onto that north—easterly breeze. that will be in the south—east and the english channel. cooler on the east coast but not as cool as the first part of the week. towards the west, we are looking at 22, 23, 2a degrees. into thursday, part of scotland and north east england hang onto the cloud. writer for the cloud. brighter further south, despite that, we still do have the breeze. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. we could see some showers coming from the south—west. these are the temperatures. up to 21 or 22. as we head into the weekend, especially in the east and the south, it is going to turn much warmer than it has been, with highs in the to turn much warmer than it has been, with hi-hs in the mid to turn much warmer than it has been, with highs in the to turn much warmer than it has been, with hi-hs in the mid to to turn much warmer than it has been, with highs in the to turn much warmer than it has been, with hi-hs in the mid to hi-h been, with highs in the mid to high 20s quite likely.

thank you. a lot of children are heading back to school today. if you're one of them, why not ask your teacher about the 500 words competition. from today, schools will be able to access a lot more information about how the contest works, and how to enter. i went to meet some primary pupils who are sharpening their writing skills, and probably their pencils, in preparation. so how do you get the reader to connect with it? i like the freedom of it. how you can write about anything you want. why do you like scary stories? i why do you like scary stories? i just like tension. "suddenly, towering above me

was an absolutely humongous man about 30 times bigger than me. it held a massive club in its hand and did not look at all friendly." that's brilliant. you're already in print! "i think there's a monster under my bed. "its eyes are is black as pencil lead. i think there's a monster in my room. its ears like giant mushrooms." if we can really engage the children and motivate them, and they've got that sense of reason behind their writing, then that's how we promote that enjoyment. "needing to be - a predator of caution, the yellow—spotted lizard - is the most dangerous animal in north american history." "mutton today, mutton yesterday — we have mutton every day." "as she peered through the window, she looked at the physical features of the doll." they are ready. are you ready? 500 words is coming very soon. we're joined by francesca simon, 500 wordsjudge

dating back decades. mgn has apologised for the use of unlawful methods to gather information — including phone hacking — but says executives were unaware of what was going on. here's our home affairs correspondent, torn symonds. he's on a mission. prince harry surprised everyone by turning up in person in one of his other court battles against the newspapers. but this week, he'll enter the witness box — the first royal to do so since the future king edward vi! gave evidence in 1870 in a slander case about a card game. this time, it's about dozens of stories the mirror newspapers published about harry — his social life, his girlfriends, his time in the army — 33 stories will be examined in court. and the focus — how journalists obtain them. it's claimed investigators like this man — glenn mulcaire —

were paid to illegally access mobile—phone messages, or make calls to blag personal information, phone logs, medical records, bank details. it's claimed investigators like this man — glenn mulcaire — were paid to illegally access mobile—phone messages, or make calls to blag personal information, phone logs, medical records, bank details. a shadowy network dedicated to quickly getting information to back up stories. it's claimed the duke of sussex was top of their list of targets. but these allegations date back long before his marriage to meghan. there was massive press interest in the identities of his early girlfriends, like chelsy davy. one veteran of legal battles against the newspapers says, for the son of princess diana, it's personal. he doesn't want money. he doesn't want a resolution which gives him a quiet life. what he wants is his day in court. he wants to call mirror group to account for what they've done. and the only way he can do that is at trial. i would bet a substantial sum of money that prince harry has been offered a six—figure sum to settle this, because as far as the mirror is concerned,

this is existential. for the newspapers, now owned by reach plc, losing this case could add millions of pounds to the cost of settling claims. it has already admitted that three newspapers — including the daily mirror, once edited by tv presenter piers morgan — did use illegal methods to get information. but he denies knowing anything about it — as did the company's former chief executive, sly bailey, who's given evidence. the current case is mostly about the scale of the scandal, and possible financial penalties. prince harry is most likely to appear in this court tomorrow. he'll face barristers for the newspapers, who may address him as "sir" while attempting to knock holes in his case, while the world's media inevitably watches closely. our home affairs correspondent torn symonds is outside the high court in london. he will be covering this case for bbc news. do you want to talk us

information, but on sources, perhaps information, but on sources, perhaps in the palace, prince harry's friends, people who might have met in a nightclub in london, people in the military, and also based on things he himself said in public, on the record. they will say that none of these stories were illegally obtained. so those are the battle lines which will be drawn here at the court today. clearly a lot at stake for prince harry. he is also suing to other newspaper groups but also a lot at stake for mirror group newspapers. he has —— it has accepted unlawful newsgathering happened but has not accepted the range and level of unlawful activities that happened, that took place. it is not accepting senior executives and editors new. it's case is that the journalists involved in this stuff did not tell their bosses that they were doing it. ., ., ., ~ their bosses that they were doing it. ok. for now, thank you very much indeed. a fascinating _ it. ok. for now, thank you very much indeed. a fascinating few _ it. ok. for now, thank you very much indeed. a fascinating few days - indeed. a fascinating few days ahead. detectives say they're continuing to keep an "open mind" about what caused two children to die in the sea off

media and news media about a pleasure boat that was in the area at the time. police had previously said the young people in the water did not come into contact with a jet ski or a boat of any sort. police are saying that this pleasure boat that was here once just one part of their inquiry and they are working with other agencies to understand what happened here. joe abbess was just 17, a budding chef from southampton. his family say they are heartbroken and devastated at the loss of his life. 12—year—old sunnah khan was the other young person who lost her life, she was from high wycombe in buckinghamshire. her funeral was held over the weekend and a family member has told the bbc she was a lovely girl and they are extremely upset by what has happened. joe and sunnah completely unknown to each other in life, but brought together by this tragic incident. ., ~ brought together by this tragic incident. ., ,, , ., russia's defence ministry says it has thwarted a major ukrainian offensive, killing 250 troops and destroying 16 tanks. this drone footage,

accident but because the train services were not operating until last night many people were taking time to reach the accident spot and look for their relatives and that has taken the entire process of claiming of the body is also much longer as some of the dead bodies we are told are also not in a condition to be identified and government officials have said, if need be, they will go ahead and do dna identification. the train accident that took the lives of more than 275 people have been on tracks along these lines. last night the rescue and restoration work was completed and restoration work was completed and train services have resumed on these lines. passenger trains are now passing that line. as far as the reason for the failure in the signalling system, is what the initial probe has indicated, but now the rail ministry has recommended

that the country's at top investigative agency, the central bureau of investigation, takes over the investigation to find out the actual cause. a signal failure the investigation to find out the actual cause. a signalfailure is part of the initial preliminary report and it is still unknown why the top agency is wanted to come in. thank you very much for that indeed. a petition to introduce a legal duty of care from universities and colleges towards their students will be debated by mps this afternoon. it was started by a group of 25 families whose children took their own lives while at university. the department for education says a general duty of care to deliver educational and pastoral services already exists in higher education. a man will appear in court today accused of running onto the track during saturday's epsom derby. ben newman, who is 32 and from east london, will face guildford magistrates, charged with causing a public nuisance. he was among 31 people who were arrested. the tv presenter holly willoughby is expected to return today

to the itv show this morning. it'll be her first appearance since the departure of her long—term co—host phillip schofield, who stepped down after admitting an affair with a younger colleague. a butterfly which was thought to have been extinct in britain for nearly 100 years has been spotted in london. black—veined whites disappeared in 1925 but small numbers have been seen in fields and hedgerows in the south—east outskirts of the capital. the butterfly conservation charity believes the insects were released into the wild but it doesn't know who did it, or why. these pictures were taken by the bbc�*s security correspondent frank gardner. they are not much of a security threat, i they? they are not much of a security threat. ithey?— they are not much of a security threat, ithey? threat, i they? may be they are, it may knows — threat, i they? may be they are, it may knows something _ threat, i they? may be they are, it may knows something we - threat, i they? may be they are, it may knows something we don't. i threat, i they? may be they are, it i may knows something we don't. they are beautiful shots. fiat may knows something we don't. they are beautiful shots.— are beautiful shots. not bad, but device. are beautiful shots. not bad, but device- we _ are beautiful shots. not bad, but device. we asked _ are beautiful shots. not bad, but

morning you can see how it starts to push back to the east coast. we still have this keen north—easterly breeze coming in across east anglia, kent and through the english channel. with temperatures down to 14, 15, 16 degrees, it will feel rather chilly. towards the west, a different story. you are looking at 21 to 23, it may be 24 degrees. through this evening and overnight, we start off with some sunshine in the evening but through the latter part of the evening and overnight, why cloud comes in from the north sea and pushes steadily westwards. these are our overnight lows. eight to 12 degrees. tomorrow we start off with all that cloud once again. like today, it pushes back towards the east coast, where some of it will be very slow to clear tomorrow and stick for much of the day. again, we have this breeze coming in from the north sea across east anglia and the south—east as well as the english

channel, and like today an outside chance we could see a shower in scotland and northern ireland. cool in the east, warm in the west where we are looking at 22 or 23 celsius. brilliant, thank you. a "ticking time bomb". that's how one leading scientist has described the impact of ultra—processed foods like crisps, bread and breakfast cereals on the uk's health. the bbc panorama team has been investigating the issue by getting a pair of identical twins to test a highly processed diet versus an all—natural one. as esme stallard reports, the effect on the volunteers' health was clear after just two weeks. so you're160.5. lovely. so step forward. amy and nancy are 24—year—old twins. so, amy and nancy, what we want to do is to look at how food processing impacts your health. they're taking part in a test with dr sarah berry and professor tim spector

from king's college, london. what you're going to do is, for two weeks — nancy, you're going to be doing the unprocessed diet, and, amy, you're going to be eating the ultra—processed diet. then we're going to get you back here and then we're going to do the same tests again and look at how these different foods have impacted your health. the twins' diet will be matched exactly for calories, nutrients, fat, sugar and fibre. in the last decade, the evidence has been slowly growing that ultra—processed food is harmful for us in ways we hadn't thought. the twins find there is one ingredient they keeps seeing again and again on food packets. look — emulsifiers again. we've seen that a few times, haven't we? i yeah. emulsifiers are essentially a glue. they stick components together so that they have a good mouthfeel and they don't fall apart in your mouth or on the plate. so here we have carboxymethylcellulose — cmc —

which is one of the commonest emulsifiers used in the food industry. i'm just going to demonstrate what happens when you just add water to it, and it very rapidly becomes like a glue — the food industry uses around 60 different emulsifiers to enhance the appearance, texture and shelf life of ultra—processed foods. some are naturally occurring, others are chemically produced. it's found in an incredible number of our foods and they are potentially harmful. dr mathilde touvier is leading one of the world's biggest studies into food additives, publishing regular reports based on the health and eating habits of 174,000 people. she's been looking at emulsifiers' long—term impact on health. the bbc has had exclusive access to the early results. they're yet to be verified by peer review, but she says they're concerning. we observed significant associations between emulsifier intake

and increased risk of cancer overall — and breast cancer, notably — but also with cardiovascular diseases. in england, wales and northern ireland, food safety is regulated by the food standards agency - the fsa. it says it's about to launch a public consultation on some emulsifiers. a spokesperson for the food and drink federation said... the results of the twins' test are now in. amy, you were on the ultra—processed food diet. your results were really quite different to your sister's. they were far worse. your blood—fat levels actually went up. your lipids — which are

markers of heart disease — they were increased. your blood sugar was noticeably worse. you actually gained weight — nearly a kilogram — and you actually lost weight. it's a bit scary, isn't it, after only two weeks to see those sorts of results? so just imagine what that would be over 20 years. after just two weeks of the test, the impact of amy's ultra—processed diet will be fully reversible. but the results are in line with a growing body of evidence linking chemical additives and ultra processing to serious health consequences. we already have the most obese children in europe. that means more type—two diabetes, more cancers, more heart disease, more misery, more mental illness. this really is a future time bomb. there are now dozens of scientific studies warning of the dangers of diets high in ultra—processed food. the twins' tests show the potential impact these foods can have on you in just two weeks.

it is in everything, every food we have. we'rejoined now by gp dr helen wall. that is the problem, this is in every shopping basket and plate. it is a minefield. we have been telling people for a long time to reduce fats, watch out for sugar and salt in your diet but this adds a whole new layer because it is notjust fat, sugar and salt. as we saw in the vt, in the study, they control for fat, the vt, in the study, they control forfat, sugar and salt, so both diets have equal amounts but even then the amount of processing that had gone in with the food, the emulsifiers, added that level of detriment to health. that is a concerning thing but it is an absolutely everything that we eat, almost. it is so wide. iii absolutely everything that we eat, almost. it is so wide.— almost. it is so wide. if you are in the supermarket, _ almost. it is so wide. if you are in the supermarket, what _ almost. it is so wide. if you are in the supermarket, what should i almost. it is so wide. if you are in| the supermarket, what should you almost. it is so wide. if you are in i the supermarket, what should you be looking for? i imagine it is really

hard for the individual, i think, to navigate this unless you are someone who has the ability to do that with time and money. you who has the ability to do that with time and money.— time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers. _ time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers, it _ time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers, it is _ time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers, it is one _ time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers, it is one of - time and money. you mentioned emulsifiers, it is one of those i emulsifiers, it is one of those words you see on a packet. i didn't really know what it was. it is words you see on a packet. i didn't really know what it was.— really know what it was. it is like aint, really know what it was. it is like paint, emulsion, _ really know what it was. it is like paint, emulsion, isn't— really know what it was. it is like paint, emulsion, isn't it? - really know what it was. it is like paint, emulsion, isn't it? it- really know what it was. it is like paint, emulsion, isn't it? it is. really know what it was. it is like | paint, emulsion, isn't it? it is the stuff that glues _ paint, emulsion, isn't it? it is the stuff that glues the _ paint, emulsion, isn't it? it is the stuff that glues the ingredients i stuff that glues the ingredients together. thy, stuff that glues the ingredients to . ether. �* . stuff that glues the ingredients to . ether. . , ., stuff that glues the ingredients to . ether. . , . , together. a binding agent, it mixes it. it is together. a binding agent, it mixes it- it is riot — together. a binding agent, it mixes it- it is riot a _ together. a binding agent, it mixes it. it is not a nice _ together. a binding agent, it mixes it. it is not a nice thought, - together. a binding agent, it mixes it. it is not a nice thought, is i together. a binding agent, it mixes it. it is not a nice thought, is it? i it. it is not a nice thought, is it? there are 60 of these. they are added to our food and apparently more than half of our total calories consumed in the uk by people are entirely processed foods, come from highly processed foods, particularly higher in children and adolescents. as we had there, we have the highest number of obese young people in the whole of europe so it is worrying but it is difficult for the individual to do much about this at the moment. it has to be a consultation phase to try to get a grip on this. consultation phase to try to get a grip on this-—

grip on this. let's try and put a slirhtl grip on this. let's try and put a slightly positive _ grip on this. let's try and put a slightly positive outlook - grip on this. let's try and put a slightly positive outlook on i grip on this. let's try and put a | slightly positive outlook on this grip on this. let's try and put a i slightly positive outlook on this if we can because the report we have just shown, the study suggested that it didn't take the twin on the ultra process diet, it didn't take very long to turn things back around. it was, like, two weeks. so it can be fixable. , ., ., , fixable. our bodies are really, really does — fixable. our bodies are really, really does make _ fixable. our bodies are really, really does make out - fixable. our bodies are really, really does make out they i fixable. our bodies are really, really does make out they are | really does make out they are miraculous, really, and things like your liver, we know that can repair itself. if we do make small changes. there are small changes we probably all can make, cost of living and all of that aside. so little swaps. it is not that all processed food is bad. frozen fruit and veg, tend vegetables and fruit, provided it is not in sugaryjuices, etc. they can still be beneficial. in fact, frozen fruit and veg can have more vitamin c than if it has been sat on the she” c than if it has been sat on the shelf for a week or two. it is about trying to make little swaps that we can do but it is hard. i had a patient a couple of weeks ago who

didn't have a fridge or an oven, was living from corner shop to mouth with a microwave and that is the reality of what some people are dealing with right now so i think if you can make little swaps, get your five a day in our fruit and veg, thatis five a day in our fruit and veg, that is really good. but it is difficult. ., ~ that is really good. but it is difficult. ., ,, , ., , that is really good. but it is difficult. ., ~' , ., , . difficult. thank you very much indeed, thank _ difficult. thank you very much indeed, thank you _ difficult. thank you very much indeed, thank you for - difficult. thank you very much indeed, thank you for talking | difficult. thank you very much i indeed, thank you for talking to us. you can watch the full bbc panorama investigation. it's called "ultra—processed food — a recipe for ill health?". it's on bbc one at 8 o'clock tonight, and on the bbc iplayer afterwards. do you know what you need? five a da . that do you know what you need? five a day. that means _ do you know what you need? five a day. that means some _ do you know what you need? five a day. that means some monster i day. that means some monster strawberries. _ strawberry season is here — and this year's crop is looking even more tempting than usual. ben's on a farm in warrington to tell us why. look at that! good morning. good morninr. look at that! good morning. good morning- bigger. _ look at that! good morning. good morning. bigger, juicier _ look at that! good morning.

and that is worth a whopping £1.7 billion to the economy. it is important for us to enjoy as we watch a sporting event or go on picnics in the summer but also important to farmers so let's speak to simon, who is involved in running the farm. thank you for having us here. have you noticed particularly this being a good yearfor the harvest? this being a good year for the harvest? , ., ., , , , ., harvest? they have only 'ust started but the — harvest? they have only 'ust started but the ones that i i harvest? they have only 'ust started but the ones that i have i harvest? they have onlyjust started but the ones that i have tried - harvest? they have onlyjust started but the ones that i have tried the i but the ones that i have tried the quality— but the ones that i have tried the quality control purposes have been superb _ quality control purposes have been superb. fresh, pick your own british strawberries— superb. fresh, pick your own british strawberries always taste fantastic but this _ strawberries always taste fantastic but this year the depth of flavour is there — but this year the depth of flavour is there and the sweetness is definitely there. so is there and the sweetness is definitely there.— is there and the sweetness is definitel there. ., , , definitely there. so you have plenty of strawberries _ definitely there. so you have plenty of strawberries here. _ definitely there. so you have plenty of strawberries here. what - definitely there. so you have plenty of strawberries here. what happens to all of these? do they get sold as fresh fruit, do you make them into jam, eithersent fresh fruit, do you make them into jam, either sent around the country with xi and the vast majority are sold, pick your own, people can get a ticket by going to the website and picking their own fruit. smaii picking their own fruit. small percentage _ picking their own fruit. small percentage that _

and when they learn that some children aren't in the same position to own them, they want to kind of share that onwards. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of cloud first thing this morning, especially towards north london, the home counties, but you can see in the south we've already got the brightness — and that will spread, the cloud burning back through the afternoon. we still have high pressure in charge, and temperatures today reaching 21 celsius in that sunshine. now, overnight, we'll see more cloud spreading back in from the north and west. we still have the north—westerly breeze through today and overnight,

as well, so that will lead to a grey start tomorrow morning — minimum temperature around seven celsius. but you can see the high pressure's still with us, and it stays with us through much of this week. the cloud on tuesday morning burning back throughout the day, bringing more sunshine through the afternoon, and temperatures tomorrow once again getting up to 21 celsius. now, there's very little rain in the forecast for this week, really — it stays dry, fine, with plenty of sunshine — especially towards the end of the week into the weekend. temperatures could get up to the mid to high 20s. remember, you can keep up to date with all the latest on social media and on our website, where you can also see more how russian and belarussian tennis players hoping to come and play at wimbledon are still waiting for their uk visas. and if you're near your radio or smart speaker, join bbc radio london to have your say on the day's top stories. that's it for now, but i'm back with more in half an hour. now it's back tojon and sally. goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. if your home is full of gadgets and kit that you hardly ever use, then you may wish to consider joining a library. not a library for books, but a library of stuff. there's one in hull where you can borrow almost anything, from drills and carpet cleaners to a sewing machine or even a bed of nails, forjust a few pounds. philip norton went for a look. if you need to borrow something, the chances are you can borrow it from here. hi, i'm alan, welcome to the library of stuff.

people were buying things on auction sites online and then using them and selling them back. i thought, there must be an easier way to do this. set up before the pandemic, the idea is simple. if you need something for a one—off job, don't buy it, borrow it. so alan, have you got any drills? yeah, all these are drills. we've got lots of different types. what about carpet cleaner? carpet cleaner, round here. so, we've got two professional carpet cleaners. these are one of our most popular items. 0k, what about a tea urn? tea urn — i can get a tea urn. so we've got coffee and tea machines up here. they go out regularly as well. we've got 1500 members who have signed up to use the service. about 500 of them are actively borrowing at any time. we've got two membership schemes, one's £80 a year and everything's free. and the other one, you pay £1 a year and you pay as you go. so, the cheapest thing is probably a drill,

based at around £2.50, £3.50. then it goes up to our carpet cleaners, which are £25. and this is for a week. this is a thermal imaging camera. we've got three of these and they were donated from a community fund. they cost £400 to buy. we let this go out for £9.50 a week. and there is a steady stream of borrowers and returners. i'm sorting my kitchen out and there's some damp. so, we're drying everything out before we get onto the next bit. we brought back two hedge trimmers, one that we ordered and _ one we were testing out for them. it worked really well and definitely made our clubhouse look better. l why pay 150 quid for an extendable hedge strimmer when you can hire it here for pennies, basically? pennies. have you got a super eight film scanner? yes, follow me. this will convert any cine film to digital. a 12 litre spindle press? s, yeah, this is one of our new items. a bed of nails?

bed of nails? yes, so this is quite an interesting item. not quite a circus bed of nails but more of a health and well—being bed of nails. that goes out on a regular basis for little events and things. it's a blow—up pool. them you have got a lot of stuff. we have got everything. this kid's going far. we've had a massive increase in people borrowing. i think they understand there is a place for this type of organisation. people don't want to fill their houses full of stuff. they want to fill their lives full of experiences. this helps with that. philip norton, bbc news. everything you could ever want. definitely need one of them. this idea is all about communities pooling their resources. and another person who knows all about that is dave fishwick, also known as the bank of dave. good morning. good morning. itjust

lifting the scottish cup. but that could be his last game, having hooverd up silverware in scotland ever since his appointment two years ago, with tottenham lurking. their managerial position vacant since antoni conte's departure. we have seen some unbelievable comebacks in football's play offs, and we had another last night — ross county making sure of their top flight status. they came back from 3—0 down against partick thistle of the championship before winning it on penalties. josh sims with the crucial goal that ensured they take that spot in the top flight next season. heartbreak for thistle fans, who at one point thought they were on the brink of promotion. another extraordinary match. known for his talents and tantrums, more than his tears, there were a few from zlatan ibrahimovic, who

bade farewell to football at the age of 41. he signed off at ac milan after their final game of 41. he signed off at ac milan after theirfinal game of of 41. he signed off at ac milan after their final game of the season. he has had a glittering career. what a cv. playing for the likes ofjuventus, barcelona, paris saint—germain as well. some of his team—mates were even in tears. there were plenty of caps for his country as well, sweden, through the years. never short on confidence either. one of the modern greats. england's selectors have some thinking to do this morning after spinnerjack leach was ruled out of the ashes series against australia. a scan confirmed a stress fracture in his back after england beat ireland in their one off test. so the question is who will replace him, with the first ashes test starting next week? there are — arguably — no obvious alternatives, so maybe england will try to tempt moeen ali or adil rashid out of test cricket retirement. the first ashes test begins on the 16th ofjune at edgbaston. they don't have long if that is what they want to do.

another sunday and another win for max verstappen. the red bull driver won his fifth formula 1 race of the season, leading from pole to flag in spain. the dutchman was followed home by lewis hamilton and george russell on a more encouraging day for mercedes. the latter though had a few issues to deal with. george russell with a few issues. but good news to see him and lewis hamilton back on the podium. michael dunlopjoined john mcguinness as the second most successful rider in the history of the isle of man tt by taking a commanding start—to—finish victory in the six—lap superbike race. he's nowjust three behind the record total of 26 triumphs achieved by his legendary late uncle joey. brothers ben and tom birchall set a lap record en route to winning the sidecar race, extending their winning streak to 10. they set a 120 miles per hour lap on the second lap. this, their 13th tt win.

unbelievable speeds when you consider the twists and turns on this course. there are 13th tt win. plenty more racing in the next six days. a big week. west ham in the final of the europa conference league against fiorentina on wednesday. then the small matter of the champions league final on saturday in istanbul with manchester city in action against ac milan —— inter milan. we will be across it all this week. thank you. a big week. is it going to be sunny? is this whether going to be sunny? is this whether going to continue? carol can tell us. blue skies, lovely. absolutely. good morning. this week it is going to be sunny, especially in the west. for the last few days, the last few weeks, actually, it has been cloudier in the east. what is happening is we are starting with cloudy mornings. it is retreating back to the east coast. here it is breezy and it is also that bit cooler. you could also see a few showers in the early part of the week. scotland and northern ireland

will be fairly isolated. by the end of the week it could be the south—west quarter of the country that sees a few showers. we start with this cloud pushing back towards the east as we go through the day. the chance of a shower in scotland and northern ireland. most won't get them. a keen breeze into east anglia, kent and the english channel. where we have got the cloud lingering, and the breeze, it will feel cooler out towards the west we could see 23 or 24 degrees. pleasantly warm. worth remembering that the uv levels are high. more or less across the board. some early evening sunshine to enjoy before more cloud comes in from the north sea, drifting further west. still this keen breeze, with overnight lows between six and 11 or 12 degrees. tomorrow we start on a cloudy node, then we hit repeat. it starts to push back towards the east coast through the day. some of it will be stubborn. some of it will break up a little bit. we hang onto
