doubled. i promised we would get illegal migrants out of hotels and into alternative sites including military facilities. today i can confirm new large sites will open with hundreds moving in over the summer and nearly 3000 by the autumn. and while we are bringing those sites online we are also making more efficient use of hotels. by making more efficient use of hotels. by asking people to share rooms where it is appropriate to do so. we found an additional 11,500 places which will save taxpayers an extra £250 million a year. and i say to those migrants who are objecting, this is more than fair. if you are coming here illegally, claiming sanctuary from death, torture or persecution, then you should be willing to share a taxpayer funded hotel room in central london. to reduce pressures on local communities we will also house

people on ships. the first will arrive in portland in the next fortnight and we have secured another two today that will accommodate another 1000. let's return to what's happening on the itv show this morning after the departure of phillip schofield. his co—host holly willoughy returned to the programme today for the first time since he left. let's listen to what she had to say. hello there, good morning, joe c. thank you for being here. deep breath. firstly, are you 0k? thank you for being here. deep breath. firstly, are you ok? i hope so. it feels very strange indeed sitting here without phil. and i imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like i have — shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the well—being of people on all sides of what's been going on and full of questions. you, me, and all of us at this morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth. who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had

to resign from itv and step down from a career that they loved. that is a lot to process. it is equally hard to see the toll it has taken on their own mental health. i think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and well—being of everyone. i hope that as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic that this show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other. and from my heart can ijust strength in each other. and from my heart can i just say thank you for all your kind messages and thank you for being here this morning. myself, dermot, josie, alison and craig and every single person who works on the show will continue to work hard every single day to bring you the show that we love. on that note, josie... �* , earlier i spoke to the entertainmentjournalist and broadcaster caroline frost. she gave me her reaction to holly willoughby�*s statement.

she was very careful to mention the viewer, primarily, that relationship of trust that she was so keen to build bridges, are you 0k? of trust that she was so keen to build bridges, are you ok? that initial question straight to the audience. this is aristotelian rhetoric being extended. we have all of us let down, you, me, the viewer, itv, theirfamily. clearly putting phillip schofield very much on the other side of that river. and then saying a time for healing and moving on. so what that means is, i think i said last week, this is a ship that is careering down the river and its a case of whether itv still believe holly willoughby is the masthead and figurehead of the vote or whether she needed to be jettisoned along with phillip schofield. they have decided for now that she is integral to the continuing stability and success of the show so they have put a lot of welly behind her and she

had her choice of co—host, josie gibson was there with hugs and support if needed and it was a case of, nothing to see here, move along. questions about the magic of the family we are. we have heard so many reports of people saying this isn't the case behind the scenes and that's why there is an external review and questions in parliament about levels of accused toxicity, favouritism, bullying and all sorts of things being thrown around. hopefully those reviews and questions will get to the heart of the matter but in the meantime what we are seeing here with holly willoughby back on the sofa is business not quite as usual, that chapter has gone, but take time to open another glorious chapter of this morning. will the viewers go with them? watch this space. that's the key question. _ with them? watch this space. that's the key question. she _ with them? watch this space. that's the key question. she was _ with them? watch this space. that's the key question. she was keen - with them? watch this space. that's the key question. she was keen to l the key question. she was keen to involve the viewer is in a lot of what she was saying. the key question is, how much the viewers are bothered by all the allegations and controversy or whatever it is. that's the issue. it

and controversy or whatever it is. that's the issue.— that's the issue. it really is the issue. that's the issue. it really is the issue- we _ that's the issue. it really is the issue. we know _ that's the issue. it really is the issue. we know that _ that's the issue. it really is the | issue. we know that advertisers that's the issue. it really is the - issue. we know that advertisers are not impressed with what has gone on arnold clark has already said it will withdraw its business deal with this morning at the end of the contract. it is hard to know because as an entertainmentjournalist we kind of exist in a bubble. we hear so many stories about what is going on behind so it is all interesting and it's a business story to watch a brand eitherfall and it's a business story to watch a brand either fall into freefall or survive something so calamitous. as a business story it is interesting. but to be a viewer at home where day after day you tune in for these people, they are your friends, they are people in your living room and they have to be trusted. we know phillip schofield by his own admission has broken the trust and this is the first thing holly said about him. she said that she has not, she has made an other of him. he did that, and i am with you, the viewer. it's whether they buy into

that and stick with her for the course. ., ., ., , course. entertainment “ournalist caroline frost h course. entertainmentjournalist caroline frost speaking - course. entertainmentjournalist caroline frost speaking to - course. entertainmentjournalist caroline frost speaking to me i caroline frost speaking to me earlier. we can go to paris now. the champs—elysees in paris was turned into a giant open air exam hall — as thousands of people set out to enter the record books for the world's largest dictation. emily brown reports. paris's most famous street, like you've never seen it before. the champs—elysees, transformed into an open—air mass dictation spell—a—thon. instead of the usual flow of cars, rows of school desks lined the avenue. 5,000 people took part aged between ten and 90, attempting to transcribe the passages read out to them. the winners are those who didn't make a single mistake. the aim — to break the world record for the largest dictation. more than 50,000 people applied to take part. journalist augustin trapenard led the first round. the excerpts range from a short story by a 19th—century novelist to sports journalism

and a modern text. the avenue turned giant exam hall epitomised a very french love affair with words. emily brown, bbc news. 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. 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—offjob, 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, starting 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. why pay 150 quid for an extendable hedge strimmer when you can hire it here for pennies, basically? pennies. have you got a super 8 film scanner? yes, follow me. this will convert any cine film to digital. a 12 litre spindle press? yeah, 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. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. the weather patterns across the uk have been very static for the last few weeks meaning many garden and grower are asking when it will rain. the answer could end only could be with this cloud affecting madeira and the canary islands, stormowska, it will bring some very wet and windy weather during the rest of today and tomorrow but notice how the area of low pressure pushes

towards our shores as we had to the weekend bringing the chance of showers and thunderstorms. however, does not guarantee rain everywhere. the rainfall could be fairly sporadic. what it will do is change weather patterns for instead of air coming round the north of the uk it will come from the near continent bringing warmer and more humid air and this weekend temperature is widely across the uk into the meat if not high 20s and certainly warmer by night too. that's coming our way. 0ut by night too. that's coming our way. out at the moment it is as you were with many central and western areas, blue skies throughout the day with cloud to the east of the country. the cloud will continue to roll back in through the night after retreating towards the coast through the day. notice how it becomes extensive across much of england towards east wales. a good part of central and eastern scotland as well towards dawn tomorrow. clear skies in the west, temperatures to lower single figures for many but for many parts it will be 7—10 to start tuesday morning. if anything the grey skies were a bit more abundant on tuesday with the best of the brakes in the west on tuesday. crowd

dilip mcleod shrinking away but it could be more stubborn across pushed again by the rather nagging east north—easterly wind that has been with us a few weeks now keeping things cool in the north—east coast. still warmest to the west. western scotland, west of loch lomond, western northern ireland, highs of 23. pollen levels continuing to rise across most of england and wales and northern ireland. grass pollen season fully getting under way as it will be again on wednesday. wednesday, signs that low cloud will be more lingered across parts of north—east england with many southern and western areas, the sunshine is out feeling warmer as well and highs again in western scotland and northern ireland, and increasingly the south—west of england. towards the end of the week that temperatures will rise further and a chance of a few sporadic showers into the weekend but that more humid field by day and by night.
