breached, the nova kakhovka dam, now almost unrecognisable. water, seemingly the latest weapon in the war in ukraine. and it's downstream on the dnipro river where the damage has been done. in ukrainian controlled territory to the west, officials say 17,000 people need to flee their homes. another 25,000 in the russian occupied east. in kherson, under ukrainian control, there are fears the flooding could become catastrophic. and it's not the only worry. it's dangerous, says catalina. she's not wrong. bomb blast russia pulled out of this city last year, but its forces are not far away. the dam was under russian control.

but each side is blaming the other for the apparent attack. translation: tonight, i the kyiv regime committed another terrorist crime. the kakhovka hydroelectric dam was blown up, which led to the flooding of significant territories. translation: the whole world will | know about this russian war crime, | the crime of genocide. such deliberate acts by the russian occupiers of the dam, and other structures of the kakhovka hydropower plant, is an environmental bomb of mass destruction. so what is the significance of the nova kakhovka? first, it supplies water to vast swathes of agricultural land, including in crimea. but the reservoir behind it also provides water to cool the zaporizhzhia region nuclear power plant. both areas are under russian control. it looks like a natural disaster. but this was manmade. whoever did this knew that the consequences would be massive.

but they were prepared to do it anyway. jon donnison, bbc news. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins us now from kyiv. paul, are we any closer to understanding the scale of this? i know the images are very clear. but how damaging will this event be? good morning. it is difficult to know. if you look at satellite images you will see an enormous level of flooding all the way from the dam down towards the black sea on both sides of the dnipro river, particularly the lower lying southern side of the river, which is still in russian occupied territory. it is difficult getting very clear information from that side. there is some suggestion that at nova kakhovka next to the dam of the flood waters may be beginning to go

down as this vast, enormous reservoir rapidly empties. but further downstream, 30, 40 miles further downstream, 30, 40 miles further downstream, 30, 40 miles further downstream, the city of kherson, there are some suggestions that water level may still be rising. and so we are still seeing emergency services they're evacuating people from their homes. and as you see from john's report, it is a very dangerous environment for those rescue workers because they are being shelled from across they are being shelled from across the river. 0n the other side, in some of the smaller communities in russian —controlled territory, we are getting reports of some houses being flooded right to the rooves, with elderly residents sitting on their roofs waiting to be evacuated. no clear evidence of a clear evacuation programme in place at all. there are other issues involved. the dnipro river is a huge source of drinking water for a large part of southern ukraine. that is also causing problems, notjust along the river but much further

afield. so, a host of problems. i think we will still see in the course of the day the true shape of this unfolding. thank you. rishi sunak has said that if it's proven that russia has attacked the dam in ukraine, it would represent a new low in aggression from moscow. he made the remarks on his way to washington, ahead of a meeting with president biden. 0ur political editor, chris mason, who's travelling with the prime minister, sent this report from washington. the prime minister arrived are a couple of hours ago, greeted off the plane by a senior us official, the chief of protocol, also or ambassador, dame currently is. it is the fourth time in four months the president and the prime minister had met. i have been trading around behind the prime minister on all four of those visits. there was san diego, belfast, hiroshima injapan, now here in washington. speed dating diplomatic for the two leaders. it is only back in october when rishi sunak became prime minister that mr

biden was struggling even to pronounce his name. so, what is on the agenda? first and foremost, ukraine. the prime minister telling us on the plane here that if it is proven that russia was behind that explosion at the dam in ukraine, that would be a new low as far as aggression from moscow in this conflict is concerned. also likely to feature in the discussions in the next couple of days, artificial intelligence, the positives associated with it, but crucially, how it can be regulated and what role the uk might play in that on the global stage. 0ther role the uk might play in that on the global stage. other big topic in meeting lots of business leaders. economic cooperation. chris mason in washington. a prolific cyber crime gang, thought to be based in russia, has issued an ultimatum to victims of a mass hack that has affected many large organisations around the world, including the bbc, british airways and boots. the clop group has issued an online notice warning that they will publish the stolen

data unless they hear from the companies by mid—june. more than 100,000 staff at the targeted organisations have been alerted that their personal payroll data has been compromised. gps will be able to prescribe weight—loss drugs to people with obesity, under plans to expand access to treatment on the nhs in england. the two—year government pilot, is aimed at reducing the number of obesity—related illnesses and easing pressure on hospitals. bbc regionaljournalists in england are staging a 48—hour strike over planned cuts to local radio. the walkout, by members of the national union ofjournalists, will affect output on regional radio, tv and online. the dispute centres on the bbc�*s plans to share more programmes across its 39 local radio stations. prince harry is set to begin his second day of giving evidence at the high court in london, as his privacy case against the mirror group of newspapers continues.

joe inwood joins us now from the high court. a second day of hearing from prince harry today. how is this likely to progress? i harry today. how is this likely to rouress? ~ . ., ., progress? i think what we are going to see is more _ progress? i think what we are going to see is more of _ progress? i think what we are going to see is more of the _ progress? i think what we are going to see is more of the careful, - to see is more of the careful, methodical questioning from the mirror group newspaper. what they're interrogating is essentially liz. prince harry's long witness statement, which he presented to the court yesterday and has provided some extraordinary headlines and... it is a must a manifesto from prince harry in which he talks about how the press has impacted his life over many years. he details the intrusion. how eight damaged relationships, how would cost him his relationship with chelsy davy. andy goes into quite extraordinary detail into how he feels this happened. he said of the intrusion as he saw it caused him to suffer from depression and paranoia. there

were some quite striking attacks on piers morgan, the former editor of the mirror. prince harry says in his document it made him feel physically sick to think of piers morgan going through his mother's voice mails, something piers morgan denies. there was the other accusation in this that notjust was the other accusation in this that not just the was the other accusation in this that notjust the tabloid press, but the government is at rock bottom. quite an extraordinary claim from a member of the royal family. quite an extraordinary claim from a member of the royalfamily. what this was really was a manifesto from prince harry showing his broader attack on the media. what we then saw was the second part of the day, which was andrew green, mirror group newspapers' qc, going through this statement. we will see more of that later today. statement. we will see more of that later toda . statement. we will see more of that later today-— later today. indeed, full coverage on the bbc- _ later today. indeed, full coverage on the bbc. thank— later today. indeed, full coverage on the bbc. thank you. _ mps are warning that a generation of disadvantaged children will fall further behind with their education, if the government doesn't do more to help them catch up. it comes as it emerged that i3% of schools in england failed to access the department's for education's national tutoring programme, which offered subsided one to one

and small group tuition. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. could you draw that as a bar model for me? show me what that would look like. this is belfield junior school in birmingham, a school at the heart of its community. it's in an area which has high levels of deprivation. how well children do at school is often linked to their home life. poverty has made catching up after the pandemic even more challenging. unfortunately, some of our children have a variety of safeguarding issues that you have to try and unpick. we've always had a small group of children that needed additional phonics work. but last year, for example, we had to change our whole reading curriculum for the first term because a whole year group — virtually whole year group — needed phonics. we've got huge classes. you know, 30 children. children came back with more complex needs than they'd ever had before. we've had a lot more emotional outbursts than we've ever

had before, so upset in the classroom, not wanting to take part in social activities. we had some children not wanting to come into school, fearing the start of a day. the start of a new term has always been difficult since the pandemic. a key part of the government's education recovery plan is the national tutoring programme, which promised subsidised one to one support and additional tutors to help with lost learning. as well as not being able to get tutors, this head says it's become too costly and complicated. this year they're only going to allow us to have 50% funding, and our budgets have dropped so dramatically we can't afford that. these year six pupils havejust done their sats exams, and say teachers here have worked hard on helping them stay positive and resilient. they're really supportive abouti stuff that we don't understand. and when we got back to school, they always helped us with - different stuff that - we were confused about and didn't have that much

help over covid. - today, a committee of mps are calling for a more targeted approach from the government to help the most disadvantaged children. we're really concerned that the progress made in closing the gap between disadvantaged and advantaged pupils before covid, is going to take ten years to get back to now after covid. that's just too slow. the department for education says it's conscious of the effect the pandemic has had on pupils, and has made £5 billion available for education recovery. for those in education, the pressures and financial challenges are alarming. schools needs to have the correct funding. they need to have the funding that allows them to have the correct levels of staff for the need of the school. everybody i talk to, including myself, think it's becoming almost impossible. there's concern that if schools like this aren't given the right support with catch up, a generation of children could be left behind. elaine dunkley, bbc news. thousands of west ham fans have travelled to prague, hoping to see their team secure its first major trophy in 43 years, in

the europa conference league final. mike is there for us. with some fans who are up early. good morning. it shows what it means to the club, to the fans. they have been up pretty much all night singing their songs, partying been up pretty much all night singing theirsongs, partying in been up pretty much all night singing their songs, partying in the centre of prague, next to the replica trophy. fantastic scenes. thousands of fans here last night. a great atmosphere. 20,000 fans are expected to make the trip. but the allocation for west ham fans is just under 5000. allocation for west ham fans is just under5000. so allocation for west ham fans is just under 5000. so most of them will be watching from the bars, the fan zones, the restaurant era, the squares. so far it has been really good—natured. all the policejust good—natured. all the police just sat good—natured. all the policejust sat in vans. you would expect this

to continue all day long. more than about ten minutes. mike, they are in fine voice. i don't know if they are going to last all day. that is great. and then all night. i'll have more later in the programme, sounded like a threat to me rather than a promise! could you hear what he said? i couldn't! just about. carol is going to entertain us with a song. i certainly won't be doing that! good morning. this morning is similar to how we started yesterday. it is fairly cloudy. there is a little bit of drizzle coming out of that cloud. and through the day, perhaps a bit quicker than yesterday, the cloud will thin and break and push back towards the east coast. more of us will see some sunshine. first thing, some mist and fog across parts of tyree, western parts of northern ireland. that will lift quite quickly. this cloud pushing back to the east coast, probably by late morning. it will

cling to the east coast once again. you can still see the odd spot of drizzle coming out of that. also, the chance of the odd shower in the highlands. that will be the exception rather than the rule. a keen breeze in the south—eastern english channel once again, with temperatures 13 to 22 degrees. in central southern england we could see them a bit higher. maybe 24 or 25 degrees. pollen levels across much of england and wales today are high or very high. and we are talking grass pollen. through this evening and overnight of the cloud quite quickly comes back in from the north sea. and it pushes a steadily westwards. again it will be thick enough here and there for the odd spot of drizzle. these are the overnight lows. eight to 12 degrees. where the cloud remains broken we could see temper to three macro —— to three or 4 degrees. the cloud will push back towards the east coast, where it could linger. later in the day this heralds a change in

the weather. some of us have not seen rain for a month. we are likely to see some heavy, thundery showers coming our way towards the end of the week. these are tomorrow's temperatures. thank you. let's take a look at today's front pages. the i leads on the dam blast in ukraine, using this satellite image to show the scale of the damage, and reporting that tens of thousands of people are fleeing after floodwaters wiped out villages. meanwhile, the times reports a warning from ukraine about its nuclear facilities following the dam destruction, suggesting that russia could plan to blow up the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. the express reports on a new slimming drug that the prime minister calls a "game changer" for the nation's health crisis. prince harry also makes the front page. the paper says he broke protocol by saying the government was at "rock bottom" during his court appearance.

and on the front of the mirror, rob burrow�*s wife lindsey is calling for the former rugby player's friend kevin sinfield to be knighted for his fundraising for motor neurone disease. the paperfeatures this poignant photo of kevin carrying rob across the finish line of the leeds marathon last month. inside the papers this story is doing quite good business, the fact apple have decided they will no longer alter correct swear words. they make a slightly cleaner version. i won't go into the details. the daily mail is calling this the curse of 02 effect. when things change the meaning. —— alter

affect. if you say hell it corrected to heal. case can become kill. i am going to kill you! harry potter and the sorcerer�*s stone can be, harry potato and the sorcerer�*s stone. we would love to hear from you this morning if it has also corrected you and you send a message you did not intend to send. send us a message. just be careful. now apple is letting us swear a bit more freely untaxed. do let us know when it went wrong. 19 minutes past six. lots of us have supermarket loyalty schemes. we have that card, perhaps, we carry around when we go to the shops. recently there has been a reduction in the value of the rewards we get. and tesco is warning shoppers to exchange those points before the value drops by a third in the next few days.

you are so good at getting a bargain. because things feel better when they are free or cheap! i took the kids to the eureka museum in halifax over the easter break. because of some supermarket vouchers, we didn't pay a penny. i was supermarket vouchers, we didn't pay a penny. iwas swaggering supermarket vouchers, we didn't pay a penny. i was swaggering around thinking about the money we had saved. those of us getting more generous. inflation isn'tjust hitting us as consumers, but businesses too. that's led to supermarkets and other businesses reducing what you get in benefits per pound you spend. tesco's clubcard is one of the longest running and most popular loyalty schemes around. it was launched in 1995 and around 20 million of us have one. but, a week today, next wednesday, what you get per point is being cut ; from three times to twice you will still be able to use your points at pizza express, hotels.com and legoland, but they will be worth less because they are set to drop

from three times the value to twice the value of your points. so, for example, now £10 worth of vouchers is worth £30 on tickets. from next wednesday they will only be worth £20. but you can get ahead by converting the points to vouchers before then. and tesco say they will be valid at the current triple value for a year. now every time we convert point into free stuff something we probably don't think about, the businesses are soaking up some of that expense. it is not surprising that others are following. from august, at costa coffee, their loyalty scheme for a free copy changes. you will need to buy ten, get ten points instead of eight, meaning you will need to get two extra drinks in order to collect your freebie. two extra drinks in order to collect yourfreebie. you might know two extra drinks in order to collect your freebie. you might know that since last month the boots advantage card holders have been getting £3 per £1 spent rather than four p. it is not always straightforward working out of the best way to use

your loyalty schemes. not everybody is as excited as i am. that is probably why millions of pounds worth of vouchers go unused every year. if you have got any questions, to get in touch. 0r year. if you have got any questions, to get in touch. or maybe send us some pictures of when you have used your points for fabulous prizes. there is the whatsapp number and the code that you hopefully know how to use by now. and of course twitter and e—mail details there. do get in touch with your questions about voucher schemes, touch with your questions about voucherschemes, how touch with your questions about voucher schemes, how they are about to change, and also share your experiences of when you have used them. i don't know if we need people to write in, you could just share your experiences! it is a full—time job, isn't it? all the apps on your phone and different authors and different types of vouchers. you have to be committed to get the best out of it. yeah. sometimes you beat the

voucher. i use my phone to beep all my loyalty schemes at different places. you don't necessarily check when they expire. millions of pounds worth of vouchers. i know you look horrified! millions of pounds of vouchers go unclaimed every year. we will speak to a consumer expert. what would you say to perhaps persuade a person who is not on board of the loyalty scheme thing? sell it to me. board of the loyalty scheme thing? sell it to me— sell it to me. you are missing a trick. obviously _ sell it to me. you are missing a trick. obviously my _ sell it to me. you are missing a trick. obviously my the - sell it to me. you are missing a| trick. obviously my the retailers trick. 0bviously my the retailers are not daft. it is a way of getting you through the doors. they harness and package your data and sell it on, but you can make it work for you. on, but you can make it work for ou. ., ~ on, but you can make it work for oh. ., " ., on, but you can make it work for ou. ., ~ ., , ., on, but you can make it work for ou. ., 4' ., , ., , on, but you can make it work for ou. ., ~ ., i. , ., you. -- work for you. they are s- in: you. -- work for you. they are spying on _ you. -- work for you. they are spying on you? _ you. -- work for you. they are spying on you? well, - you. -- work for you. they are spying on you? well, not - you. -- work for you. they are i spying on you? well, not really. lookin: spying on you? well, not really. looking at _ spying on you? well, not really. looking at what _ spying on you? well, not really. looking at what you _ spying on you? well, not really. looking at what you buy? - spying on you? well, not really. looking at what you buy? yeah, j spying on you? well, not really. - looking at what you buy? yeah, that data is quite — looking at what you buy? yeah, that data is quite useful _ looking at what you buy? yeah, that data is quite useful for _ looking at what you buy? yeah, that data is quite useful for the _ data is quite useful for the algorithms of how we shop and what we spend. algorithms of how we shop and what we send. ., , ., ., we spend. points are even more useful. thank _ we spend. points are even more useful. thank you. _ still to come on breakfast... former liverpool and scotland captain graeme souness is swimming the channel to raise money for 14—year—old isla, who lives in constant agony due

good morning. bbc london and bbc south east today are joining forces at breakfast to keep you up to date. the government's told mps that the promised new hospital at whipps cross in east london will be completed by 2030 — four years later than expected. the rebuilding project is part of the government's commitment for 40 new hospitals, but was meant to be finished by 2026. it will serve more than 400,000 people across waltham forest, redbridge and parts of essex. a man from maidstone who downloaded hundreds of videos and pictures of child sex abuse has been jailed. john pattison stored images of children as young as six months old. he had been the subject of a life licence following a murder conviction in 2001. he was released from prison in 2019 after serving 18 years. london bus drivers have voted to go on strike on four days

later this month. unite said more than 1,700 of its members employed by arriva in london will walk out onjune the 20th and 21st, and on the 27th and 28th. it comes after they rejected a 7% pay offer. south east coast ambulance service crews in kent are beginining their move into a new multi—purpose building in gillingham. it's the first of its kind in the country, bringing three services under one roof. a make ready centre, an emergency operations centre and an nhs 111 contact centre will all be based there. ben elton is making his stage debut this week in the hit show we will rock you — which he wrote and directed. the 64—year—old comedian, who grew up in london, will play the lead role, the rebel leader, at the london coliseum later this week. i wasn't really ready forjust how intimidating it is. actually, the audience

is intimidating enough, but to work with such incredible performance on stage. and to suddenly find myself amongst them on the stage, as opposed to being just the boss or whatever, it's quite humbling. now let's take a check on the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. there might be a little bit of cloud where you are first thing in the morning, but that cloud should break up as we go through the day. in some places it'll linger, but generally the sunshine will win out. and as that happens, so temperatures will respond. the highest temperatures, as we've seen in recent days, will be over into the west of london, into parts of west kent and sussex. further east, i think that breeze might be a bit of a factor, keeping the temperatures a little bit lower. that sunshine strong, of course, and the pollen levels very high as well. as we head into the evening, it'll stay dry. some late sunshine, cloud coming back in again during the course of the night. and it could be a rather cloudy

start to your thursday. but again, i'm hopeful that cloud will break up. looking further ahead, the humidity starts to rise as we head towards the weekend, bringing the chance of one or two thunderstorms. and we've just got time for our photo of the day. kerri baker capture this shot of the white cliffs at botany bay. that's all from us for now. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. prince harry is set to begin his second day of giving evidence at the high court in london, as his privacy case against the mirror group of newspapers continues. harry has already faced nearly five hours of questioning about his accusations that the publisher had used unlawful means including phone—hacking to find out details about his private life. mirror group denies the allegations. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports.

it may be his second day in court. but for prince harry, it will start with another moment in front of the world's media. not an experience, he told the court yesterday, he would wish on anyone. he'll know what to expect now. several hours in the witness box while mirror barrister andrew green kc works through more of the 33 stories the duke says were based on phone hacking or information from private investigators. an example, the people in 2003, which reported that princes harry and william had disagreed about whether to confront this man, paul burrell, a former butler to their mother, princess diana, who'd been selling stories about her. harry was reported to have used an expletive while calling burrell two—faced. his claim that those words were only used in a voicemail message to william hacked by the newspaper for a story which sowed discord between the princes, he said.

the newspaper denies that, suggesting that harry's views were widely known in palace circles. so far, his evidence has emphasised the damage done to him from a young age by the press. the newspaper's barrister said yesterday that everyone was sympathetic, but it did not follow that this was all unlawful activity. "of course," said prince harry. "but it's the unlawful means which make it even worse." tom symonds, bbc news at the high court. we're joined now byjim waterson, media editor at the guardian and also by jack royston, chief royal correspondent at newsweek. good morning to both of you. jim, can we start with you? you were there in court yesterday, if we can get a sense of what it was like in that courtroom as prince harry gives his evidence. i that courtroom as prince harry gives his evidence-—

that they were trying to pull him apart on that. there were a few slightly tetchy exchanges, the mirror group barrister saying, let's try and stay focused, harry, and harry saying, i'm totally focused. but harry had enough composure at the end of the day to share a joke with thejudge about the end of the day to share a joke with the judge about how he would not discuss his evidence with his children on facetime last night so he felt positive at the end of the day, obviously. he felt positive at the end of the day. obviously-— he felt positive at the end of the day, obviously. that was 'ust the end of the — day, obviously. that was 'ust the end of the first i day, obviously. that was 'ust the end of the first day h day, obviously. that was 'ust the end of the first day and h day, obviously. that was just the end of the first day and today - day, obviously. that was just the end of the first day and today we j end of the first day and today we start again and the courts are going to be going to every one of those stories that harry is suspicious of, trying to work out if there is any evidence of hacking or similar techniques. evidence of hacking or similar techniques-— evidence of hacking or similar techniaues. . ~ ., , ., , techniques. yeah, mirror group newspapers — techniques. yeah, mirror group newspapers own _ techniques. yeah, mirror group newspapers own the _ techniques. yeah, mirror group newspapers own the daily - techniques. yeah, mirror group i newspapers own the daily mirror, sunday— newspapers own the daily mirror, sunday mirror and the people, have accepted _ sunday mirror and the people, have accepted that they hacked the phones of lots _ accepted that they hacked the phones of lots of— accepted that they hacked the phones of lots of celebrities in the past and paid — of lots of celebrities in the past and paid out a lot of money for it. their— and paid out a lot of money for it. their argument and paid out a lot of money for it. theirargument is and paid out a lot of money for it. their argument is essentially, just because _ their argument is essentially, just because we wrote loads about you, harry, _ because we wrote loads about you, harry, and — because we wrote loads about you, harry, and we accept we did some

probably will not be happy entirely that some of the stuff that harry is saying. but as long as they don't get too far dragged into it, so far i don't think there has been anything on the scale of one of harry's and the cases where he suggested that william had taken money from the murdoch empire to stay quiet, there has not been a swipe at william that was as big as that case. so far it will pale in comparison to some of the criticism that harry has been making to 0prah in his netflix show, in his book spare, from their perspective, it will be the constant pressure of the fact that harry could say anything at any moment to compromise or embarrass a member of the royal family. embarrass a member of the royal famil . ., ~ embarrass a member of the royal famil . e, ~' ,, , embarrass a member of the royal famil . ., ~ i. , . embarrass a member of the royal famil. ., ~ , . family. thank you very much, both, for talkin: family. thank you very much, both, for talking to _ family. thank you very much, both, for talking to us _ family. thank you very much, both, for talking to us this _ family. thank you very much, both, for talking to us this morning. - for talking to us this morning. there are a lot of bubbles being

any of the glory days of west ham. so the thought of being in a final and having the opportunity to actually win a trophy, a major trophy, is massive. it's going to mean everything. the whole town is going to be buzzing. see when we get back, i'll party fora month, mate, trust me. if we win, we get into— the europa league next season. so we want more european tours, and so do these lot as well. - and for hammers fan andy, it could be particularly special. don't mind me asking, what year were you born and why was it so significant? 1965, the last time west ham won a major european trophy. bobby moore placed the kick well. and seeley scored again! that's right, it is some 58 years since west ham did this. winners of the european cup winners' cup. now the decade of disappointment since then could end on, guess what,

andy's 58th birthday. it's a lifetime, isn't it? a total lifetime, literally. west ham winning a european trophy, it would mean everything, absolutely massive. this is where the hammers will be hoping to make history. the fortuna arena is a pretty small arena, the capacity is just 20,000, and west ham were allocated a mere 5000 tickets. but for fans and the players, it'll be the biggest of occasions. west ham struggled in the premier league this season, finishing just 14th. but here in europe, well, it's been a different story. it's not easy going through the season playing in the premier league and also going to be competitive in this competition. and we have been. so i think it's a great achievement for all the players to be sitting here, being here today. the next part is to see if we can go on and win it now. so, after beating az alkmaar in the semifinals, the fans are ready for an even bigger celebration.

after so many years of waiting, well, just maybe, this time. andy swiss, bbc news, prague. it really is a day of celebrations. among those hoping west ham win in chesney hawkes, and it is a family affair because also drumming for him is his brotherjodie and playing is his son. what does it mean to you as a fan festival and the whole family? it's amazing, just to have my boy is it especially. the fur —— the last time we were in a major european final i was five years old. this means so much to the west ham community, it means everything. to be part of it, after this you are going for a sound check in the town square where you are playing this afternoon. , ., ., . ., afternoon. yes, we got a gig! we got this to concentrate _ afternoon. yes, we got a gig! we got this to concentrate on, _ afternoon. yes, we got a gig! we got this to concentrate on, i _ afternoon. yes, we got a gig! we got this to concentrate on, i am - afternoon. yes, we got a gig! we got this to concentrate on, i am not - this to concentrate on, i am not thinking about the game too much. i

raul was an experienced tt competitor who made his debut in 2017, with a best result of 15th in last year's supertwin race. 0ur our thoughts with his this morning. the smoker with his family. —— our thoughts are with his family. in yesterday's action, there was a tenth tt win for peter hickman who took victory in the first superstock race ahead of michael dunlop and dean harrison. there is a moment of calm here. if you look around the square, in the city of 100 buyers, there is so much architecture, a concert to enjoy, i wonder if the fans will find time to look at it away from the party! i think there, definitely! don't you think, jon? 0pen top bus tour crop before the game? no, they will be having fun. i

in scotland because i thought england would be taken care of. and then we became mates, didn't we? and, iam... football does its bit for charity you know, players are much maligned, much criticised, but football does its bit. throughout my life i've had the good fortune to spend time with people who have not been very well. but i knew nothing about this disease. this disease is, it's the cruellest. excuse me. i knew this would happen. it's the cruellest, nastiest disease that there that i know of. and even for someone so young to be so brave. isla is aware of the impact this has on her mum and dad, and she helps them. this is a very special young lady you're in the company of. you can see there the impact that

isla had on graeme souness, but all of us that day, graeme souness is a tough old cookie, but isla has made such a huge difference to him and motivated him to do this incredible thing, swimming the channel. he is training all the time, he described this easy is training in as lumpy. we thought we should spend the day with isla. imagine spending all day, every day in pain. how are you feeling today? not too great, i've got a bit of a sore eye. is that something that happens fairly often? yeah, it happens about once a month, maybe a couple times more. it's just a bit annoying. it does happen. did you say it woke you up last night? yeah. it woke me up a couple of times last night. and is there anything you can do about it?

no, just let it happen. do you have pain anywhere else, or...? i always have a bit of pain everywhere. but today's not a... today's not too bad. 14—year—old isla has a rare degenerative condition called epidermolysis bullosa, eb. it attacks organs and development, but especially the skin. her body, her arms and legs are permanently bandaged to protect her. beneath is basically one huge open wound. she does whatever she can to try to distract her from the constant pain and discomfort. i”m just tracing this and then i'll be able to colour it in. and is this one of your favorite things to do? yeah. what do you enjoy about it? i just enjoy that it's quite nice and peaceful. peace is a cherished commodity. life is tough for the family. they cope because

they have each other. it's just a constant, constantjuggle. and of course, at the heart of it all is isla and it's looking after isla's best interests and making sure that she's as happy as she can be or as comfortable as she can be. and that's the biggest, the biggest challenge, because she's not always and she is in dark places. and we have to recognise that, we have to be very sympathetic and patient. it's going to keep you nice and warm. isla's dad andy is part of a relay team that will swim the english channel this month to raise awareness and money for debra, a charity that helps people living with eb. graeme souness, a legend in the world of football, is part of that team, inspired to help after meeting isla. you tend to find the people who run towards these kinds of fights are quite extraordinary people and that's the likes of graeme, isla's carers, you know, the family. it's quite humbling that they can

step into something that's so awful and stay there because, you know, graeme gets upset and a lot of people get very upset. we get upset too, but they stay there and they help with the fight. and, you know, that's humbling. so this is the bandages that we would use on isla for one day. so these are the ones for the knees, elbows is slightly shorter. so that's her lower back, upper back. so these are for her fingers. these are all individually cut also from one of these large packs. this covers isla's stomach area here. and this also. three times a week, isla's bandages have to be changed. her carers, jean and linda, show me what's involved in a process that can take up to five hours.

she's able to have a bath in the middle, an all too rare chance to relax. but removing then replacing her bandages is incredibly painful, difficult and upsetting. and there's nothing, there's nothing that compares that i've seen in over 25 years. what do you think, linda? same with me in over 30 years. i've not seen anything as painful as this condition. it's horrendous. she is very brave. she's just remarkable. she's, you know. nothing we could say could exaggerate it because it's that's how bad it is. you know, it's relentless, it's horrific at times for her. not for us. but it's about getting her through that maybe four hours to try and make it as smooth from bandages coming off to getting them back on. and the best part is getting her

into bed with a glass of milk. and that's when you know she's going to have a bit of peace for the night. you know that she'll sleep because she's just had another dose of medication. it takes a special person to do this, but their motivation comes from isla herself. i enjoy working with her, really enjoy it. it's great. she's funny, witty, really clever. she can put us in our place which... yeah! which is really important, you know, and it's it's a really lovely working relationship to get, you know, even getting her through a really difficult time. it's like even if i go to put something on and she'll say it, "linda, you've been doing this long enough." "is that not the wrong one?" sorry, sorry! you know, i've made a mistake. "well, try not to do it again." you know, she'll come out with things like that.

three times a day she takes her medication, painkillers and drugs to try to reduce the inflammation and the constant itchiness. swimming across the english channel is inspirational, but the team's response is to say that their thoughts are with the young people who live their lives as best they can, despite such a dreadful, brutal condition. they are the inspiration. john maguire, bbc news, inverness. if you wondered why graham was taking part in the channel, there you are, he is determined to do this, swimming the channel. graeme is swimming the channel for debra — a national charity which supports people living with eb.

so many of you have already sponsored, look at the amount of money has already been raised. donate.giveasyoulive. com/ fundraising/debraswim. the low budget, feel—good comedy the full monty became a global hit in the 905. the film follows a group of unemployed steelworkers from sheffield, who turn to stripping to earn a living. now, 26—years on, the original cast have reunited for a new tv series, which revisits gaz and friends, and looks at what happened

after that revealing night in 1997. david sillito has been to meet them in sheffield. # you can leave your hat on. the full monty, a little low budget film, about six blokes who needed to make a bit of extra cash and were convinced this was a way of doing it. it became a massive hit. and now, after more than 25 years, the gang are back together. i know you lot from somewhere. strippers! are you still doing it? what do you think? it did come as a bit of a surprise, really, because the film itself was such a complete piece. ladies and gents, you are in the presence of genius. give me strength. but rather than pick up where the film ended in 1997, the tv series catches up

with the characters today. here, all meeting up again in the big baps cafe. so when you walk into big baps and everyone's there together, what does that feel like? i was so delighted to be working with steve and mark and paul and all the gang. the full monty, you know, it's followed me around through my entire career, like a big, warm shadow, you know? and there's a bond between us guys through that, you know, only we understand what that was about. the effect of that film at that time. all right? among those returning is lomper, played by steve huison. have what you like, the world's your oyster. 0ysters are off. they were never on. and the reason they're all returning is because the scriptwriter, simon beaufoy, felt in some ways we're back to that full monty era. because the full monty isn't just about a comedy. it's got, it had a message, it had politics in it. and this one has as well, hasn't it?

there's been a lot going on in the last few years and... his term with me was that he was sick of seeing white aspirational, families doing well in dramas on tv. where are the normal people out there? where are their stories? # looking for some hot stuff, baby, this evening. in the originalfilm, unemployment was the issue. this is the job center from 1997. these days it's still there, but around it, a forest of new buildings. sheffield looks very different these days, but like everywhere, a lot of people have got it tough at the moment. and this is probably the most important of all of the locations because this is, of course, where they did the full monty. however, as you can see, it's seen better days. and that's perhaps apt

because the full monty, both the film and the tv series, have definitely got a serious side. and for those like peter price, for whom this club was a part of life for more than 50 years, it's a moment to reflect on how much has changed. sad. so sad. you've got a long history here, haven't you? believe it or not, i've been on the city council since 1972, and i started doing my council surgeries in this working men's club in 1972. when the full monty was filmed here, was it accurate? to be fair, it did present a worse light than what it was, but i think it needed to exaggerate it to get the story. i mean, a lot of people took offence, but i didn't because i saw the poverty that existed in certain quarters. 26 years have gone by since then. and now, how different? it's been a lot better, don't get me wrong, but it's going back that way

i'm afraid. since the pandemic, we've suffered a lot. the centres, the food centres are struggling to keep, keep stocked to provide the... food banks? food banks, that's the word i'm looking for, are struggling really and they're in big demand. but that full monty spirit, you still see it? i think so. they say we're the biggest village in the world, sheffield, it's true. they have that same village atmosphere to everybody, everybody is called love and everybody�*s spoken to in the morning, you don't walk past, you say hello and it's great. and there's still a feeling of, let's get together to sort this out. who the hell are you to give out parenting advice? but for many, it's just a chance to catch up with some old characters like dave and jean, played here by mark addy and lesley sharp. how does it feel to be back together on screen in the same roles? it feels like a privilege that we can recreate these characters, that we've got more time to tell their stories.

25, six, seven years ago, we made a little movie that did crazy things. it did incredibly well. to be working with somebody who you love and admire and enjoy sharing that time with is a great, it's a great honour. honestly, it's a joy, absolute joy. you're like a couple, aren't you? we are a bit. a little bit, might be! and finally, the most important question. do you keep your clothes on this time? no one wants to see that, do they? it's not a horror film. david sillito, bbc news, sheffield. great to see them back. the full monty series will be available to stream on disney plus from the 14thjune.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are, which might be affected by regional industrial action. campaigners are calling on the garment to back a new bill making it a legal right for families to be able to visit loved ones in care homes. the motion was put forward in parliament yesterday. dan carter was unable to visit his dying father during covid. it could take months for it to be legislation. fiur for it to be legislation. our message — for it to be legislation. our message is. _ for it to be legislation. our message is, everyone - for it to be legislation. oi" message is, everyone wants it, there is no opposition, let'sjust get message is, everyone wants it, there is no opposition, let's just get on and do it. they could do it before the second reading so why not? its going to happen anyway so why not do it quickly? it will help all of us. a competitor has died in the super twin race in the isle of man tt. he was killed

but to work with such incredible performance on stage. i've directed them so many times, different casts. this is a brilliant cast — brenda edwards, lee mead, elena skye, ian mcintosh — extraordinary performers. and to suddenly find myself amongst them on the stage, as opposed to being just the boss or whatever, it's quite humbling. now let's take a check on the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. there might be a little bit of cloud where you are first thing in the morning, but that cloud should break up as we go through the day. in some places it'll linger, but generally the sunshine will win out. and as that happens, so temperatures will respond. the highest temperatures, as we've seen in recent days, will be over into the west of london, into parts of west kent and sussex. further east, i think that breeze might be a bit of a factor, keeping the temperatures a little bit lower. that sunshine strong, of course, and the pollen levels very high as well. as we head into the evening, it'll stay dry. some late sunshine, cloud coming back in again

during the course of the night. and it could be a rather cloudy start to your thursday. but again, i'm hopeful that cloud will break up. the that cloud will break up. humidity starts to rise as head the humidity starts to rise as we head towards the weekend. the photo of the day is from kerry baker. that is all from me for now. back with another update in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. thousands of people are fleeing their homes in southern ukraine, after a major dam on the dnipro river was destroyed, releasing a torrent of water. prince harry is set to return to the high court this morning, afterfive hours of questioning yesterday in his privacy case

the un described it as one of the most significant attacks on civilian infrastructure since the start of the russian invasion, and said the consequences would be far—reaching. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for damaging the dam, as our correspondent jon donnison reports. breached, the nova kakhovka dam, now almost unrecognisable. water, seemingly the latest weapon in the war in ukraine. and it's downstream on the dnipro river where the damage has been done. in ukrainian controlled territory to the west, officials say 17,000 people need to flee their homes. another 25,000 in the russian occupied east. in kherson, under ukrainian control, there are fears the flooding could become catastrophic. and it's not the only worry. it's dangerous, says catalina. she's not wrong.

bomb blast russia pulled out of this city last year, but its forces are not far away. fast, fast, fast, fast! the dam was under russian control. but each side is blaming the other for the apparent attack. translation: tonight, i the kyiv regime committed another terrorist crime. the kakhovka hydroelectric dam was blown up, which led to the flooding of significant territories. translation: the whole world will | know about this russian war crime, | the crime of genocide. such deliberate acts by the russian occupiers of the dam, and other structures of the kakhovka hydropower plant, is an environmental bomb of mass destruction. so what is the significance of the nova kakhovka dam? first, it supplies water to vast swathes of agricultural land, including in crimea. but the reservoir behind it also provides water

to cool the zaporizhzhia region nuclear power plant. both areas are under russian control. it looks like a natural disaster. but this was manmade. whoever did this knew that the consequences would be massive. but they were prepared to do it anyway. jon donnison, bbc news. rishi sunak has said that if it's proven that russia has attacked the dam in ukraine, it would represent a new low in aggression from moscow. he made the remarks on his way to washington, ahead of a meeting with president biden. 0ur political editor, chris mason, who's travelling with the prime minister, sent this report from washington. the prime minister arrived are a couple of hours ago, greeted off the plane by a senior us official, the chief of protocol, also our ambassador, dame karen pierce. it is the fourth time in four months the president and the prime minister have met.

i have been traililng around behind the prime minister on all four of those visits. there was san diego, belfast, hiroshima injapan, now here in washington. sort of like speed dating diplomatically for the two leaders. it was only back in october when rishi sunak became prime minister that mr biden was struggling even to pronounce his name. so, what is on the agenda? first and foremost, ukraine. the prime minister telling us on the plane here that if it is proven that russia was behind that explosion at the dam in ukraine, that would be a new low as far as aggression from moscow in this conflict is concerned. also likely to feature in the discussions in the next couple of days, artificial intelligence, the positives associated with it, but crucially, how it can be regulated and what role the uk might play in that on the global stage. other big topic in meeting lots of business leaders, economic cooperation. chris mason in washington.

a prolific cyber crime gang, thought to be based in russia, has issued an ultimatum to victims of a mass hack that has affected many large organisations around the world, including the bbc, british airways and boots. the clop group has issued an online notice warning that they will publish the stolen data unless they hear from the companies by mid—june. nina has all of the details. how scary is this for people who potentially had their day to put out there? it potentially had their day to put out there? , , ., ., ., there? it is estimated around 100,000 employees - there? it is estimated around 100,000 employees in - there? it is estimated around | 100,000 employees in places there? it is estimated around - 100,000 employees in places like the bbc, british airways, boots among others, have had their payroll data harvested. that can be things like your national insurance number, your address even, which is scary. phone number. also, for some, possibly bank details. it is thought of the hackers broke into a piece of software and user to access various databases. as you say, there is now an understanding around who has done it. it is believed to be the russian group clop. they have issued a

warning on the dark web, encouraging victims to contact them to begin negotiations. it is a very anxious time if you work at one of those organisations. you have most likely been contacted by your employer to been contacted by your employer to be made aware of the data breach. the advice is not to panic. it is very rare for information like this to end up in the public domain. while we wait to see what comes next the advice is to be vigilant, look out for any attempts on getting your information. if it looks dodgy it probably is. waited to hear from your employer about what comes next. nine minutes past seven. gps will be able to prescribe weight loss drugs for people with obesity under plans to expand access to treatment on the nhs in england. the two—year government pilot, is aimed at reducing the number of obesity—related illnesses and easing pressure on hospitals. bbc regionaljournalists in england are staging a 48—hour strike over planned cuts to local radio.

unfortunately, some of our children have a variety of safeguarding issues that you have to try and unpick. we've always had a small group of children that needed additional phonics work. but last year, for example, we had to change our whole reading curriculum for the first term because a whole year group — virtually whole year group — needed phonics. we've got huge classes. you know, 30 children. children came back with more complex needs than they'd ever had before. we've had a lot more emotional outbursts than we've ever had before, so upset in the classroom, not wanting to take part in social activities. we had some children not wanting to come into school, fearing the start of a day. the start of a new term has always been difficult since the pandemic. a key part of the government's education recovery plan is the national tutoring programme, which promised subsidised one to one support and additional tutors to help with lost learning. as well as not being able to get tutors, this head says it's become too

costly and complicated. this year they're only going to allow us to have 50% funding, and our budgets have dropped so dramatically we can't afford that. these year six pupils havejust done their sats exams, and say teachers here have worked hard on helping them stay positive and resilient. they're really supportive aboutj stuff that we don't understand. and when we got back to school, they always helped us with - different stuff that - we were confused about and didn't have that much help over covid. - today, a committee of mps are calling for a more targeted approach from the government to help the most disadvantaged children. we're really concerned that the progress made in closing the gap between disadvantaged and advantaged pupils before covid, is going to take ten years to get back to now after covid. that's just too slow. the department for education says it's conscious of the effect the pandemic has had on pupils, and has made £5 billion available for education recovery. for those in education, the pressures and financial challenges are alarming. schools needs to have

the correct funding. they need to have the funding that allows them to have the correct levels of staff for the need of the school. everybody i talk to, including myself, think it's becoming almost impossible. there's concern that if schools like this aren't given the right support with catch up, a generation of children could be left behind. elaine dunkley, bbc news. big data for ham fans. —— b day today. thousands of west ham fans have travelled to prague, hoping to see their team secure its first major trophy in 43 years, in the europa conference league final. mike is there for us. i know it looks pretty quiet there, but we have already seen quite a few fans up and about? iterate but we have already seen quite a few fans up and about?— fans up and about? we have ended. good timing- _ fans up and about? we have ended. good timing. moments _ fans up and about? we have ended. good timing. moments ago - fans up and about? we have ended. good timing. moments ago the - good timing. moments ago the

do you think they peaked too soon? i told you, energy levels! what about uv levels, pollen levels? carol can tell us. good morning. a lot of them are high. very good question. what we have this morning is not a particularly cold start to the day. temperatures roughly seven to 11 degrees. if you are exposed to the breeze across the south east of the breeze across the south east of the english channel it does feel that bit cooler in the breeze, as it does under some of the clear skies we have got in the west and part of the south. but you can see how much cloud that we are under the satellite picture. as we head on through the rest of the morning, you will find this cloud will push back quite rightly towards the east. brightening up in central scotland. already brightening in parts of central scotland. northern ireland hanging on to the sunshine. further brightness developing in no england, wales and into the south. for the midlands and the east coast at this stage, as well as the channel islands, we are under a fair bit of

cloud. the breeze will be key once again today in east anglia, kent and the english channel, exacerbating the english channel, exacerbating the cooler feel. the english channel, exacerbating the coolerfeel. but the english channel, exacerbating the cooler feel. but it will be a brighter day to day across the midlands compared with yesterday. and in the sunshine temperatures responding. in fact, and in the sunshine temperatures responding. infact, in parts and in the sunshine temperatures responding. in fact, in parts of central and southern england we could hit 24 or 25 today. always that bit cooler on the north sea coastline. uv levels are either moderate or high. as we head on through the evening and overnight for cloud quite quickly comes back in from the north sea, it pushes towards the west. there will be some drizzle coming out of this in places. where we hang on to be persistent clear skies, temperatures could fall away to three or 4 degrees. tomorrow we start once again with all of these cloud. but, if anything, it is going to dissolve quicker than today. it will still cling to some parts of the east coast. it will still be breezy. but there will be a lot of sunshine. temperatures up as high as 24

celsius. then it starts to change. some of us will welcome this change. heavy showers coming in from the south—west. heavy showers coming in from the south-west— heavy showers coming in from the south-west. ., ,, , ., ., ., south-west. thank you. the health of the uk's bug — south-west. thank you. the health of the uk's bug population _ south-west. thank you. the health of the uk's bug population is _ south-west. thank you. the health of the uk's bug population is going i south-west. thank you. the health of the uk's bug population is going to i the uk's bug population is going to be studied by mps today in the first hearing of its kind looking at insect decline and food security. this comes as several international studies have been warning that insight numbers are reducing globally, threatening the future of food production. shall we have a look at the numbers. the number of flying insects across the uk has declined by nearly 60% between 2004 and 2021. and of all the uk's nations, england has fared worst with 65% fewer insights over that same 17 year period. wales recorded 55% fewer insights in that time, while scotland saw the smallest decline with 28% fewer overall.

time for the news, travel and weather where you are. services may be affected by regional industrial action. the government's told mps that the promised new hospital at whipps cross in east london will be completed by 2030 — four years later than expected. the rebuilding project is part of the government's commitment for 40 new hospitals, but was meant to be finished by 2026. it will serve more than 400,000 people across waltham forest, redbridge and parts of essex. a man from maidstone who downloaded hundreds of videos and pictures of child sex abuse has been jailed. john pattison stored images of children as young as six months old. he had been the subject of a life licence following a murder conviction in 2001. he was released from prison in 2019 after serving 18 years.

i've directed them so many times, different casts. this is a brilliant cast — brenda edwards, lee mead, elena skye, ian mcintosh — extraordinary performers. and to suddenly find myself amongst them on the stage, as opposed to being just the boss or whatever, it's quite humbling. now let's take a check on the weather withjohn hammond. good morning. there might be a little bit of cloud where you are first thing in the morning, but that cloud should break up as we go through the day. in some places it'll linger, but generally the sunshine will win out. and as that happens, so temperatures will respond. the highest temperatures, as we've seen in recent days, will be over into the west of london, into parts of west kent and sussex. further east, i think that breeze might be a bit of a factor, keeping the temperatures a little bit lower. that sunshine strong, of course, and the pollen levels very high as well. as we head into the evening, it'll stay dry. some late sunshine, cloud coming back in again

the three—day event opens to the public tomorrow. that's it for now. you can keep up to date with us on the bbc news wesbite and on the bbc news app. hello, this is breakfast withjohn kay and sally nugent. volunteers are to be used to deliver medicine to peoples homes, run errands and checking on those struggling with loneliness as part of a government plan to ease staff shortages and social care. the move is aimed at freeing up space on congested hospital wards by providing support in the community which allows patients to be

years from government and we have been let down every time. we support the nhs, without us, the nhs fails but the government has still not heard what the problems are. what heard what the problems are. what are our heard what the problems are. what are your day-to-day _ heard what the problems are. what are your day—to—day problems in terms _ are your day—to—day problems in terms of— are your day—to—day problems in terms of staffing at the moment? it! is terms of staffing at the moment? is covering terms of staffing at the moment? it is covering the shift in care homes. it's that simple, literally covering the shift? — it's that simple, literally covering the shift? :, , :, ::, the shift? volunteers are welcome and they can _ the shift? volunteers are welcome and they can do — the shift? volunteers are welcome and they can do an _ the shift? volunteers are welcome and they can do an excellent i the shift? volunteers are welcome and they can do an excellent job i the shift? volunteers are welcome i and they can do an excellent job but and they can do an excellentjob but they cannot do the job of trained carers. we need to recruit and kemmel and pay more. we want some money to be switched from health into social care. that's very difficult politically, but someone needs to be bold, and we want someone to beat —— to be bold like nye bevan was in 1948. to someone to beat -- to be bold like nye bevan was in 1948.— someone to beat -- to be bold like nye bevan was in 1948. to be clear, the government _ nye bevan was in 1948. to be clear, the government is _ nye bevan was in 1948. to be clear, the government is not _ nye bevan was in 1948. to be clear, the government is not saying - nye bevan was in 1948. to be clear, the government is not saying that i the government is not saying that volunteers are going into care homes to deliver practical care, and it is more dropping chopping off, doing errands, delivering equipment. is that 0k

extra health funding that he announced, recognising the very real pressures that social care has been under. that's why we are looking at things such as career progression, pay, cough professional qualifications within social care, and how we support social kemmel widely including integrating it better with the nhs. —— social care more widely. that's what the integrated care boards are all about. his point is a fair one that volunteers need to be additional, not a replacement to social care, and that's how we intend to use them. but we do think volunteers have always played an important role within the nhs. we think that can be applied more widely, thinking about hospital discharge, there's people in hospital who are ready to leave but often they are waiting for transport or they are waiting for a medication, or if they get home, they don't have any shopping there, and sometimes they bounce back to hospital as a consequence. thinking about how we use the fantastic

volunteers we have seen at other times, the olympics was a great example of the role that volunteers played, and how we can use volunteers in social care, not as a replacement but as additional support particularly thinking about discharge. the support particularly thinking about discharee. : :, :, discharge. the director of care writes uk _ discharge. the director of care writes uk which _ discharge. the director of care writes uk which represents i discharge. the director of care - writes uk which represents residents and relatives says this morning what you are proposing is a desperate measure trying to save a system which is crumbling. she says you need to do more. where is that bid big plan for social care you have been promising for years? we added 7.5 alien in additional _ been promising for years? we added 7.5 alien in additional funding, - been promising for years? we added 7.5 alien in additional funding, a - 7.5 alien in additional funding, a clear sign of government support, we have —— 7.5 billion in additional funding. we have plans to look at how we better support staff. there is a huge amount of work going on about more integration between the

nhs and social care, how teams can work more closely together, how we can better share information on patientjourneys, how we support patients when they are fit to delete the hospital but are often staying in hospitalfor a number of days longer than they need to. but also looking at innovation, virtual wards for example, so people can recover at home or recover in a social care setting, but with some clinical support from the hospital and places like watford hospital had been piloting the use of virtual wards which have been hugely successful and patients say they much prefer to be able to recover at home but they want that safety net of support. there is a lot of work going on, volunteering is one aspect but it is part of a wider package.— part of a wider package. nobody is den inc part of a wider package. nobody is denying there _ part of a wider package. nobody is denying there are _ part of a wider package. nobody is denying there are other _ part of a wider package. nobody is denying there are other things - part of a wider package. nobody is denying there are other things but| part of a wider package. nobody is| denying there are other things but i am reminded of borisjohnson standing outside downing street when he became prime ministerfour years ago and he said, i have got a plan for social care, the conservatives

are going to fix it. and here we are, 165,000 vacancies, millions of hours of care needs not being met every year. and still no full plan. lots of little ideas, but not one big solution. lots of little ideas, but not one big solution-— lots of little ideas, but not one bi solution. , �* ., , big solution. there isn't one single answer, big solution. there isn't one single answer. there _ big solution. there isn't one single answer, there is _ big solution. there isn't one single answer, there is a _ big solution. there isn't one single answer, there is a whole _ big solution. there isn't one single answer, there is a whole range - answer, there is a whole range of things we are doing. people can't haveit things we are doing. people can't have it both ways. for example, we added social care to the shortage occupation list to attract more people internationally to help, to address some of the challenges in vacancies, we had the announcement in april of the extra 250 million going in to look at professional qualifications... going in to look at professional qualifications. . ._ going in to look at professional qualifications... your critics say that is not _ qualifications... your critics say that is not enough, _ qualifications... your critics say that is not enough, that - qualifications... your critics say that is not enough, that is - qualifications... your critics say that is not enough, that is not. that is not enough, that is not working. that is not enough, that is not workinu. ~ ., that is not enough, that is not workinu. ~ . , working. we had the investment in the autumn _ working. we had the investment in the autumn statement, _ working. we had the investment in the autumn statement, there - working. we had the investment in the autumn statement, there is i the autumn statement, there is assent to beat —— a centrepiece of that commitment to integrate health and social care. there is a package of measures, the volunteer package

is one part of that but it needs to be seen as part of a wider package. so when do we see this big social care plan? we so when do we see this big social care plan?— care plan? we said it will be the latest, care plan? we said it will be the latest. some — care plan? we said it will be the latest, some of— care plan? we said it will be the latest, some of it, _ care plan? we said it will be the latest, some of it, when - care plan? we said it will be the latest, some of it, when we - care plan? we said it will be the| latest, some of it, when we look care plan? we said it will be the i latest, some of it, when we look at these challenges especially over staff with the announcement that we have done and how we better integrate health and social so we have delayed that, we have been upfront about that. that is because we have recognised as a consequence of the pandemic there have been immediate pressures and that is what we have been responding to. ihlal immediate pressures and that is what we have been responding to.- we have been responding to. not 'ust the social care — we have been responding to. not 'ust the social care plan, i we have been responding to. not 'ust the social care plan, the i we have been responding to. not 'ust the social care plan, the nhs is h the social care plan, the nhs is also waiting for the big nhs workplace plan, workforce plan, that some people are expecting a few weeks ago, it hasn't happened, when will we see that? we weeks ago, it hasn't happened, when will we see that?— will we see that? we are committed that it is a complex _ will we see that? we are committed that it is a complex piece _ will we see that? we are committed that it is a complex piece of- will we see that? we are committed that it is a complex piece of work, i that it is a complex piece of work, nhs england colleagues have been working intensively on that. we hope to get that announced soon, we have been clear on our commitment to doing that. and we recognise its importance. it is a complex piece of work and it is right that we take our time on the detail of that and

in particular the reform package. we are also innovating alongside that and our announcement today of the a0 million pilot into tackling obesity, many of your viewers will recognise the huge health challenges of obesity, nine in ten type two diabetics are overweight, the second biggest cause of cancer is obesity, after smoking. biggest cause of cancer is obesity, aftersmoking. so biggest cause of cancer is obesity, after smoking. so tackling obesity is hugely important. what we are announcing today with the a0 million pilot is the lightest drugs, being innovative, eking —— looking at how we use primary care to address patients who are suffering from the health challenges of obesity and making sure the nhs has the very latest drugs and is at the front of the queue in terms of those developments. an exciting announcement today which has the potential to be a game changerfor many of your viewers who are struggling with obesity. we recognise often it is a real challenge for people to lose weight or keep the weight off, and that is why we are embracing the latest

medication, making sure the nhs is at the front of the queue. than at the front of the queue. an announcement today, this wednesday, this time next week, next wednesday, another big strike by the bma who are saying there could be in more industrial in action throughout the summer. are you making any progress in solving this dispute? we summer. are you making any progress in solving this dispute?— in solving this dispute? we had three weeks — in solving this dispute? we had three weeks of— in solving this dispute? we had three weeks of talks _ in solving this dispute? we had three weeks of talks with - in solving this dispute? we had three weeks of talks with the l in solving this dispute? we had - three weeks of talks with the junior doctors and the government to set out a fair offer. i don't think the junior doctors refusing to move from their demand for 35% pay rise is a reasonable one. it's not the sort of pay rise that most of your viewers i'm sure themselves are receiving. so i don't think 35% is reasonable. we hugely value the work that our junior doctors do. the pressures they have been under from the pandemic, the wider pressures that the wider nhs has been under so we massively value the work ofjunior doctors so but we don't think 35% is

reasonable. doctors so but we don't think 35% is reasonable-— doctors so but we don't think 3596 is reasonable-— reasonable. what is reasonable, then? we need _ reasonable. what is reasonable, then? we need to _ reasonable. what is reasonable, then? we need to see _ reasonable. what is reasonable, then? we need to see some - reasonable. what is reasonable, - then? we need to see some movement on that. then? we need to see some movement on that- i'm _ then? we need to see some movement on that- i'm not— then? we need to see some movement on that. i'm not going _ then? we need to see some movement on that. i'm not going to _ then? we need to see some movement on that. i'm not going to negotiate - on that. i'm not going to negotiate and i would not expect you to make me do so in public. we have had a lot of negotiations notjust on pay but on the wider well—being of doctors which the government are keen to explore with the junior doctors committee. they asked if we could bring in an intermediate, a senior nhs leader, we who the government agreed to act as an intermediary. but they still refuse to move their demand of a 35% pay rise. there needs to be movement on both sides. we hugely value the work that thejunior doctors both sides. we hugely value the work that the junior doctors do. but today they haven't been willing to move at all from 35% and in fact actually they have moved to a9% if you add it in next year. can actually they have moved to 4996 if you add it in next year.— you add it in next year. can i show ou the you add it in next year. can i show you the front _ you add it in next year. can i show you the front page _ you add it in next year. can i show you the front page of— you add it in next year. can i show you the front page of this - you add it in next year. can i show. you the front page of this morning's daily mirror before you go. they are calling for rob burrow, rugby league

been like this since yesterday. an amazing atmosphere with thousands of fans, many without tickets, filling the squares, the bars, and the fan zones. 20,000 fans expected to make the journey from all parts of the world. i met people from indonesia, australia, orlando, he has come from it's family holiday. it means so much because this is a once—in—a—lifetime occasion when you think west ham have not won a trophy since 1980, that was the fa cup, the last time they got to a european final was 76, the last time they won a trophy was 1965 and the days of bobby moore. this is a historic occasion, andy swiss looks ahead. the prague party is under way. thousands of west ham fans are flocking to the city, hoping their long wait for silverware could soon be over. i've never been able to really see any of the glory days of west ham. so the thought of being in a final and having the opportunity to actually win a trophy, a major trophy, is massive. it's going to mean everything.

the whole town is going to be buzzing. see when we get back, i'll party fora month, mate, trust me. if we win, we get into— the europa league next season. so we want more european tours, and so do these lot as well. - and for hammers fan andy, it could be particularly special. don't mind me asking, what year were you born and why was it so significant? 1965, the last time west ham won a major european trophy. bobby moore placed the kick well. and seeley scored again! that's right, it is some 58 years since west ham did this. winners of the european cup winners' cup. now the decade of disappointment since then could end on, guess what, andy's 58th birthday. it's a lifetime, isn't it? a total lifetime, literally. west ham winning a european trophy, it would mean everything, absolutely massive. this is where the hammers will be

hoping to make history. the fortuna arena is a pretty small arena, the capacity is just 20,000, and west ham were allocated a mere 5000 tickets. but for fans and the players, it'll be the biggest of occasions. west ham struggled in the premier league this season, finishing just 1ath. but here in europe, well, it's been a different story. it's not easy going through the season playing in the premier league and also going to be competitive in this competition. and we have been. so i think it's a great achievement for all the players to be sitting here, being here today. the next part is to see if we can go on and win it now. so, after beating az alkmaar in the semifinals, the fans are ready for an even bigger celebration. after so many years of waiting, well, just maybe, this time. andy swiss, bbc news, prague.

and, do you know what, i have not met a fan who has actually got a ticket for the family. the allocation for fans was 5000 because the fortune arena only holds 20,000. but the fans are still keen to sample the atmosphere, including this man who has come from indonesia, why come forjust a fans own? indonesia, why come for 'ust a fans own? �* , , ., indonesia, why come for 'ust a fans own? �*, , ., .,. ., own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. _ own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. is _ own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. is the _ own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is the first _ own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is the first time i own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is the first time in i own? it'sjust a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is the first time in a3| opportunity, is the first time in a3 years. i have spent four and a half months out there so it was time to come home. months out there so it was time to come home-— 30 i months out there so it was time to i come home._ 30 hours come home. quite a 'ourney? 30 hours in total, come home. quite a 'ourney? 30 hours in total. from _ come home. quite a 'ourney? 30 hours in total, from bali i come home. quite a 'ourney? 30 hours in total, from bali to— come home. quite ajourney? 30 hours in total, from bali to kuala _ come home. quite ajourney? 30 hours in total, from bali to kuala lumpur- in total, from bali to kuala lumpur to prague so i am stilljet—lagged. holly, you are in the fan zone, it's quite a long time since the last european final. it quite a long time since the last european final.— quite a long time since the last euro -ean final. ., , , european final. it means everything, o- aortuni european final. it means everything, opportunity like _ european final. it means everything, opportunity like this _ european final. it means everything, opportunity like this don't _ european final. it means everything, opportunity like this don't come i opportunity like this don't come around — opportunity like this don't come around often. sojust being around

season following the demise of worcester warriors and wasps. some sad news to bring you now. raul torras martinez was killed in an accident during the first supertwin race of the 2023 isle of man tt races. raul was an experienced tt competitor who made his debut in 2017, with a best result of 15th in last year's supertwin race. our thoughts with his this morning. our thoughts are with his family. in yesterday's action, there was a tenth tt win for peter hickman who took victory in the first superstock race ahead of michael dunlop and dean harrison. dunlop later moved into outright second on the list of all—time tt race wins with victory in the first supertwins tt of the week. final word from prague, it feels like a home game for west ham. they have got two czech international players on their team and one of the directors of west ham is the

co—owner of sparta prague, and someone spotted this. but they're on the side of the musical hall, can you see that, as if that isn't a sign! the hammers! there you aren't, their emblem. that is historic. —— there you are. this is a hammer city for today. i there you are. this is a hammer city for toda . ., . , , there you are. this is a hammer city for toda . ., ., , , ., for today. i love aside, there is a sin! i for today. i love aside, there is a sign! i thought — for today. i love aside, there is a sign! i thought they _ for today. i love aside, there is a sign! i thought they had - for today. i love aside, there is a | sign! i thought they had chiselled that out while _ sign! i thought they had chiselled that out while they _ sign! i thought they had chiselled that out while they were - sign! i thought they had chiselled that out while they were talking l sign! i thought they had chiselled| that out while they were talking to mike! here is another sign, that out while they were talking to mike! here is anothersign, here that out while they were talking to mike! here is another sign, here is our carol! good morning! cloudy start from you can see from our weather watchers picture in lincolnshire, but sunny as you can see in devon further west. high pressure is in charge but

this area of low pressure is here, storm oscar, and it all starts to approach the uk. it will bring in heavy and potentially thundery showers. because there are showers, there is a lot of cloud, this pushing back to the east coast, a brighter day in the midlands than there was yesterday but a keen breeze coming in across east anglia, kent and the english channel. a lot of sunshine and the outside chance of sunshine and the outside chance of a shower in the highlands. the top temperature could get up to 2a or 25 in southern england but cool along the north sea coastline. more pushes further west. a keen breeze still, we could see some patchy mist, but it will not be particularly cool, except where we

have the clearer skies where we could get ten to three or four. tomorrow we start with cloud but if anything it will break up more readily than it will do today. still some clinging to the east coast, still this keen breeze. it will be more breezy across the south than it has been and we have got showers coming in from the south—west and a bit later on today. around 100 people will be setting off on a 92 mile walk today in memory of footballer gary speed who took his own life in 2011. the event is in its second year and sets off from goodison park, the home of gary's boyhood club everton. the route continues to bolton, burnley and halifax before finishing at elland road, where gary played as a leeds united midfielder. £30,000 has already been donated to the men's suicide prevention charity, andy's man club. actors and brothers mark and anthony lewis are taking part in the walk and join us now.

the things they are dealing with, the more everyone realises they are not alone, it's notjust them. until we share it, it can feel very lonely and you can feel very isolated. what people have to realise is you are not alone and there are people out there. and andy's man club is a huge part of that. there are varying degrees of stuff that is going to happen when you go, it can be as simple asjust turning happen when you go, it can be as simple as just turning up and not even saying anything byjust being there with other guys who are going to similar stuff, or you can get more involved. there is a whole range of things. and they are changing lives, literally changing lives. so i think it is changing and hopefully andy's man club are what we are doing today will change it further. �* ., , ., we are doing today will change it further. �* ., , . . further. anthony and matt and everybody _ further. anthony and matt and everybody with _ further. anthony and matt and everybody with you, _ further. anthony and matt and everybody with you, we i further. anthony and matt and everybody with you, we wish i further. anthony and matt and i everybody with you, we wish you all the very, very best of luck, thank you, good luck, guys.— you, good luck, guys. cheers. headlines _ you, good luck, guys. cheers. headlines in _ you, good luck, guys. cheers. headlines in a _ you, good luck, guys. cheers. headlines in a moment, i you, good luck, guys. cheers. headlines in a moment, let'sl you, good luck, guys. cheers. i headlines in a moment, let's get the news, channel —— travel and weather, some services will be affected by industrial action.

keep their clothes on this time. good morning. it's wednesday, the 7th ofjune. our main story. thousands of people have fled their homes in southern ukraine, after a huge dam on the dnipro river collapsed and flooded towns and villages downstream. the un described it as one of the most significant attacks on civilian infrastructure since the start of the russian invasion, and said the consequences would be far—reaching. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for damaging the dam, as our correspondent jon donnison reports. breached, the nova kakhovka dam, now almost unrecognisable. water, seemingly the latest weapon in the war in ukraine. and it's downstream on the dnipro river where the damage has been done. in ukrainian controlled territory to the west, officials say 17,000 people need to flee their homes. another 25,000 in the russian occupied east.

in kherson, under ukrainian control, there are fears the flooding could become catastrophic. and it's not the only worry. it's dangerous, says catalina. she's not wrong. bomb blast russia pulled out of this city last year, but its forces are not far away. fast, fast, fast, fast! the dam was under russian control. but each side is blaming the other for the apparent attack. translation: tonight, i the kyiv regime committed another terrorist crime. the kakhovka hydroelectric dam was blown up, which led to the flooding of significant territories. translation: the whole world will | know about this russian war crime, | the crime of genocide. such deliberate acts by the russian occupiers of the dam, and other

structures of the kakhovka hydropower plant, is an environmental bomb of mass destruction. so what is the significance of the nova kakhovka dam? first, it supplies water to vast swathes of agricultural land, including in crimea. but the reservoir behind it also provides water to cool the zaporizhzhia region nuclear power plant. both areas are under russian control. it looks like a natural disaster. but this was manmade. whoever did this knew that the consequences would be massive. but they were prepared to do it anyway. jon donnison, bbc news. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins us now from kyiv. paul, are we any closer to understanding the scale of this? in terms of what happened, who

dated, no, we are not and we are not likely to get much closer do that. everyone has their own assumptions. my everyone has their own assumptions. my own, for what it is worth, is this was probably done by russia, but we need to wait and see ultimately what the verdict is on that. in the meantime what we are getting is a much clearer sense of the implications of this disaster. huge swathes of communities on both sides of the river south of that dam now underwater. thousands of people have been forced from their homes. in the city of kherson, the only large city south of the dam, the situation is bad, but it is not catastrophic. quite a lot of people have been evacuated. rescue work goes on. in some of the smaller communities we are seeing people literally clinging to the rooftops as they waited to be rescued because the floodwaters have been so high. i don't think the floodwaters will get any higher. they will probably subside. in the meantime what the ukrainians are starting to warn about are the longer term

consequences of this. particularly for drinking water and agriculture. the implications could be catastrophic in the short term, with some predictions that some of the agricultural land that depends so heavily on the dnipro river, could be turned into a desert.— heavily on the dnipro river, could be turned into a desert. rishi sunak has said that if it's proven that russia has attacked the dam in ukraine, it would represent a new low in aggression from moscow. he made the remarks on his way to washington, ahead of a meeting with president biden. our political editor, chris mason, who's travelling with the prime minister, sent this report from washington. the prime minister arrived are a couple of hours ago, greeted off the plane by a senior us official, the chief of protocol, also our ambassador, dame karen pierce. it is the fourth time in four months the president and the prime minister have met. i have been traililng around behind the prime minister on all four of those visits. there was san diego, belfast, hiroshima injapan, now here in washington. sort of like speed dating diplomatically for the two leaders.

it was only back in october when rishi sunak became prime minister that mr biden was struggling even to pronounce his name. so, what is on the agenda? first and foremost, ukraine. the prime minister telling us on the plane here that if it is proven that russia was behind that explosion at the dam in ukraine, that would be a new low as far as aggression from moscow in this conflict is concerned. also likely to feature in the discussions in the next couple of days, artificial intelligence, the positives associated with it, but crucially, how it can be regulated and what role the uk might play in that on the global stage. other big topic in meeting lots of business leaders, economic cooperation. chris mason in washington. a prolific cyber crime gang, thought to be based in russia, has issued an ultimatum to victims of a mass hack that has affected many large organisations around the world, including the bbc,

second day of giving evidence at the high court in london, as his privacy case against the mirror group of newspapers continues. joe inwood joins us now from the high court. five hours for prince harry giving evidence yesterday. this morning it resumes? it evidence yesterday. this morning it resumes? ., , ., , resumes? it does indeed. you can see that the press — resumes? it does indeed. you can see that the press and _ resumes? it does indeed. you can see that the press and public— that the press and public journalists have already turned up to hear another day of cross examination of prince harry. what we heard yesterday, it all started with this document. this was his witness statement. it was absolutely extraordinary. this is almost a manifesto. his claims against mirror group newspaper. and the tabloid press in general. we saw some amazing revelations about how, what he sees as the unlawful intrusion into his life, has affected him, how it has destroyed his relationships,

and how it has left him depressed and how it has left him depressed and paranoid at points. and he goes through, in really a lot of detail here, about the number of ways in which he feels that his life was intruded in. there was a detailed cross—examination of these claims by the mirror group newspapers barrister. i think we will see more of that today. this is a civil case, and so it is about the balance of probabilities. we have got these two arguments. the broad brush from harry, the detailed examination from the mirror, and thejudge will decide. mps are warning that a generation of disadvantaged children will fall further behind with their education, if the government doesn't do more to help them catch up. a report says the government has failed to recognise the precious schools are under. —— pressures. it comes as it emerged that 13% of schools in england failed to access the department's for education's national tutoring programme, which offered subsided one to one

expected to make the trip, some from different parts of the world. yet the allocation of tickets at the home of slavia prague isjust the allocation of tickets at the home of slavia prague is just under 5000 in a capacity of 19,300. most fans will be watching from the squares comedy bars comedy fan zones. so far, will the celebrating has been good—natured. the police have been looking on enjoying the scenes of celebration from afar, which is how it should be. mike, thank you very much indeed. i love that moment where they'll go, he is on the telly now, i'm going walk past! 13 minutes past eight. we are going to have a lovely catch up in a couple of minutes with isla, who has aspired —— inspired graeme souness to swim the channel. what's that film. it is gorgeous. now it is time for the weather with carol. good morning. as you can see across

much of england and all of wales today, pollen levels are high or very high. we are talking grass pollen. these are the uv levels today. moderate or high across the board. if you are out in the sunshine, certainly do bear that in mind. some of us are starting with some sunshine. as you can see from our weather what your bubbles in swanage, it is mostly the western parts of the south though. we do have a lot of cloud once again this morning. they can offer the odd spot of drizzle. all of this cloud you can see across the midlands will eventually burn away and you will have a brighter day. it will cling to the east coast. the southend west seeing some sunshine with little bits of cloud here and there as we go through the course of the day. —— the south and west. scotland seeing a fair bit of sunshine. the north and east currently has the cloud. we still have the breeze coming in from the north sea across east anglia and kent, and also the english channel. we have had it for a few days. it is likely to stay with us for another

couple. temperatures today will always be lower in the east compared to the west, where we'll see into the mid 20s. tonight, all this cloud comes back in from the north sea. it is not going to be a cold night except where we have got persistently clear skies. the temperature in following to three or 4 temperature in following to three or a degrees. tomorrow, this cloud will break more readily than today. still breezy but a lot of sunshine. later in the day we started to see some showers coming into the isles of scilly. thank you. last month on breakfast, we met 1a—year—old isla, who suffers from a rare skin condition called eb, which leaves her in constant pain. isla was here with her dad andy, and also the former footballer graeme souness, who's going to swim the channel with andy to raise money for the charity debra, which supports people with eb. graeme explained why it's so important to him.

fan zones, because only 5000 tickets have been allocated for west ham fans. because the arena is relatively small. last night that was not stopping them celebrating and we spoke to some of them last night. # i'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air. it's important to us for three reasons. number one, my grandpa used to play for west ham, back in the day, years and years ago. secondly unfortunately our dad can't be here today because he's at work and he's devastated. so it's very important for us to come. come on, you irons! # we are all going on a european tour, european tour. so, we drove here, we left at four in the morning. we didn't hire a car, we used our own car. and we have literallyjust parked up about 20 minutes ago and got up here. and it's so important for us to be - here because it's been so many years that we've waited for this day. and we can't wait, i come on, you irons! # declan rice, rice, declan declan rice.

one of the stars of london irish whose future now lies elsewhere. on the pitch, rugby union enjoys sold—out internationals. but off it, clubs have been accused of sleepwalking into a crisis. some sad news to bring you now. raul torras martinez was killed in an accident during the first supertwin race of the 2023 isle of man tt races. raul was an experienced tt competitor who made his debut in 2017, with a best result of 15th in last year's supertwin race. our thoughts with his this morning. our thoughts are with his family. in yesterday's action, there was a tenth tt win for peter hickman who took victory in the first superstock race ahead of michael dunlop and dean harrison.

next, the tennis, what a clash this afternoon, novak djokovic are looking for a record 23rd grand slam. it was set up after alcatraz beat tsitsipas. this will be a good one to play. looking forward to do a massive match edited out. we are just under 12 hours away from kick—off here in prague. we have got chesney hawkes later in the fan zone, singing irons the one and only, as he told us this morning exclusively on breakfast. the big problem is pacing themselves, they have got a long day ahead, go back to your hotel, have some breakfast, have a lie down! i don't think so. there is a lovely culture and architecture to enjoy! i don't think

what do you think? it did come as a bit of a surprise, really, because the film itself was such a complete piece. ladies and gents, you are in the presence of genius. give me strength. but rather than pick up where the film ended in 1997, the tv series catches up with the characters today. here, all meeting up again in the big baps cafe. so when you walk into big baps and everyone's there together, what does that feel like? i was so delighted to be working with steve and mark and paul and all the gang. the full monty, you know, it's followed me around through my entire career, like a big, warm shadow, you know? and there's a bond between us guys through that, you know, only we understand what that was about. the effect of that film at that time. all right? among those returning is lomper, played by steve huison.

have what you like, the world's your oyster. oysters are off. they were never on. and the reason they're all returning is because the scriptwriter, simon beaufoy, felt in some ways we're back to that full monty era. because the full monty isn't just about a comedy. it's got, it had a message, it had politics in it. and this one has as well, hasn't it? there's been a lot going on in the last few years and... his term with me was that he was sick of seeing white aspirational, families doing well in dramas on tv. where are the normal people out there? where are their stories? # looking for some hot stuff, baby, this evening. in the originalfilm, unemployment was the issue. this is the job center from 1997. these days it's still there, but around it, a forest of new buildings.

sheffield looks very different these days, but like everywhere, a lot of people have got it tough at the moment. and this is probably the most important of all of the locations because this is, of course, where they did the full monty. however, as you can see, it's seen better days. and that's perhaps apt because the full monty, both the film and the tv series, have definitely got a serious side. and for those like peter price, for whom this club was a part of life for more than 50 years, it's a moment to reflect on how much has changed. sad. so sad. you've got a long history here, haven't you? believe it or not, i've been on the city council since 1972, and i started doing my council surgeries in this working men's club in 1972. when the full monty was filmed here, was it accurate? to be fair, it did present a worse

light than what it was, but i think it needed to exaggerate it to get the story. i mean, a lot of people took offence, but i didn't because i saw the poverty that existed in certain quarters. 26 years have gone by since then. and now, how different? it's been a lot better, don't get me wrong, but it's going back that way i'm afraid. since the pandemic, we've suffered a lot. the centres, the food centres are struggling to keep, keep stocked to provide the... food banks? food banks, that's the word i'm looking for, are struggling really and they're in big demand. but that full monty spirit, you still see it? i think so. they say we're the biggest village in the world, sheffield, it's true. they have that same village atmosphere to everybody, everybody is called love and everybody�*s spoken to in the morning, you don't walk past, you say hello and it's great. and there's still a feeling of, let's get together to sort this out. who the hell are you to give

out parenting advice? but for many, it's just a chance to catch up with some old characters like dave and jean, played here by mark addy and lesley sharp. how does it feel to be back together on screen in the same roles? it feels like a privilege that we can recreate these characters, that we've got more time to tell their stories. 25, six, seven years ago, we made a little movie that did crazy things. it did incredibly well. to be working with somebody who you love and admire and enjoy sharing that time with is a great, it's a great honour. honestly, it's a joy, absolute joy. you're like a couple, aren't you? we are a bit. a little bit, might be! and finally, the most important question. do you keep your clothes on this time? no one wants to see that, do they?

it's not a horror film. david sillito, bbc news, sheffield. it's not a horrorfilm! good for them for doing it. the full monty series will be available to stream on disney plus from the 1athjune. we had some big music guests. we had a sister sledge. hate we had some big music guests. we had a sister sledge-— a sister sledge. we had stormzy. remarkable _ a sister sledge. we had stormzy. remarkable musical— a sister sledge. we had stormzy. l remarkable musical performance. a sister sledge. we had stormzy. - remarkable musical performance. from us! but let's get — remarkable musical performance. from us! but let's get the _ remarkable musical performance. f'f7�*fl us! but let's get the weather first with carol. my my poor ears, i will hear you! if you are stepping up this morning and you are stepping up this morning and you have a grass pollen allergy, very high or high across much of england and wales. high very high or high across much of england and wales. high pressure is still very much _ england and wales. high pressure is still very much in _ england and wales. high pressure is still very much in charge _ england and wales. high pressure is still very much in charge of - england and wales. high pressure is still very much in charge of our - still very much in charge of our

weather but this is storm oscar, and it will be drifting towards us over the next few days bringing some heavy and thundery showers and also somewhat warmer and humid air as we head into the latter part of the week ended the weekend. this morning there is a lot of cloud around. this is producing some drizzle already this morning, and as we go through the morning, we will find it being eroded from the west, pushing back to the east. a much brighter day in the midlands than it was yesterday. we still have this keen breeze coming in across east anglia and kent as well as the english channel, and it is going to be calling on the north sea coastline. temperatures higher in the sunshine, we could see 25 degrees somewhere in central and southern england. uv levels, were pointing this out every day, they are moderate or high. if you are spending time in the sunshine, don't forget that. through the evening and overnight, more cloud comes in from

the north sea, drifts further west, and a keen breeze in the south—east and a keen breeze in the south—east and the english channel. not a particularly cold night but if you are in an area that remains clear for much of the night, locally temperatures could slip down to three or [i temperatures could slip down to three or 1! degrees. into tomorrow, we start off with cloud but tomorrow it should melt away much quicker than today. again, a lot of sunshine for many, parts of the east coast will hang on to a bit more cloud and we still have this breeze. to show you the gusts of wind, the breeze isn't particularly strong but sometimes the gust will be that bit stronger across the southern half of the country. and this is the first sign of some change coming our way, bringing thundery showers later in the day until the isles of scilly. these are the temperatures, cool in the east but not as cold, towards the east but not as cold, towards the west once again we are looking at low 20s. central and southern

england potentially up to 25. the south—west might get higher than that, maybe even 26 degrees. thursday into friday, here comes this area of low pressure. bringing heavy and thundery showers as i mentioned. it will be dragging in some warmer and more humid conditions our way. on friday, we still have cloud in the east coast, quite a keen breeze, and a lot of dry weather to start with. you can see the shower just started dry weather to start with. you can see the showerjust started to come in. these are the temperatures, 25 or 26 in the south—west. into the weekend those showers are pushing north and east, some of them could be torrential, it could lead in places to localised flooding but not all of us will catch on. star; places to localised flooding but not all of us will catch on.— all of us will catch on. stay there, are ou all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? — all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? 0h,, _ all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? 0h,, no, - all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? 0h,, no, is- all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? 0h,, no, is it - all of us will catch on. stay there, are you ready? 0h,, no, is it the| are you ready? 0h,, no, is it the recorders? _
