6:02 am
in the europa conference league final in the czech capital prague. mike is there for us this morning. good morning, mike. i'm surprised it's a quiet but i do and there are not still revellers out.— not still revellers out. good morning- — not still revellers out. good morning. they _ not still revellers out. good morning. they are - not still revellers out. good morning. they are ringing l not still revellers out. good l morning. they are ringing the not still revellers out. (13mm morning. they are ringing the bells, i don't know if that is coincidence orjust for west ham! this beautiful old town square. they started peeling the about seconds they haven't stopped. very quiet, there is a bright having wedding pictures over there but i have not seen any west ham fans as yet. a lot told me last night they were going straight from the fan zone or the stadium to the airport to catch an early morning flight. i'm sure we will have a few coming through pitching themselves, asking themselves if it was a dream, if it was really happening. there was a sense of
6:03 am
disbelief that after all the years of weight, 65 years, sorry, just i965 of weight, 65 years, sorry, just 1965 the last time they did a major european trophy, all of those generations of hurt and painful also for west ham, they have finally won a major european trophy. in this old town square, the city of spires, the square full of history, west ham, this generation of players had created their own monument which would forever live in west ham focal —— folklore. i watched that stands on the hill above prague, there were more there, 21,000, that they were in the stadium. it was some atmosphere. let me take you through the night as it happened. an iconic moment in the history of west ham. that will be talked about the generations as captain declan rice lifted their first major european trophy since the days of bobby moore, 58 years ago. a moment that over 21,000 at the fan
6:04 am
zone on the hill above prague will never forget as they basked in the glory and the founding of bubbles released into the night sky. incredible scenes as their famous anthem rang out across the whole of this city. # pretty bubbles in the air, united, united! so, going into the second half, it may be more tense than it was in the beginning that the west ham fans are still in great voice. and with more here, over 21,000 they estimate, than that the actual stadium, just imagine the noise if they score, they've just come close. and that's exactly what happened. 17 minutes into the second half. a west ham penalty for handball and the moment they had all waited for. said benrahma keeping his cool as everyone else lost theirs. uncontrollable joy and disbelief. it was actually happening. but the songs of celebration were silenced just five minutes later. the bubble was burst
6:05 am
as fiorentino equalised. the fans here were now bracing themselves for extra time and potentially the dreaded penalties. but there was a final twist, a fairy tale ending in the 89th minute. jarrod bowen broke free and despite the magnitude of what this could mean, he kicked his team into west ham folklore. having seen their dreams dashed once already, fans had to steel themselves in case there was any late drama. but not this time. their team were major european trophy winners. and a tidal wave of emotion and unbridled excavation swept across the park. they made our dreams come true, thank you. it's the best feeling ever, i can't describe it, it's unbelievable. literally unbelievable, i have no words. my dad brought me up west ham every single game and all that. _ sadly he passed away two years ago. ever since we have been
6:06 am
battling for europe, - battlingfor europe and now we have finally won it so this _ one's for him. every fan has their own story of why this means so much. but they can all say forevermore, i was there on that perfect night in prague. # and like my dreams they fade and die. just incredible scenes. it also means in football terms that west ham are in the group stages of the europa league next season, that is the next tier up in terms of european competition. there was one moment which soured it in the first half which got a lot of attention at the time quite right, as fiorentino player struck by a plastic cap thrown by the west ham fans at one end, it seems, he was badly cut and he had to be bandaged up. west ham players went to see their own fans to plead that nothing else like that
6:07 am
followed. they were supporting the fiorentino team at the time, they all came together. what a moment this will be in terms of the club's future, third third season in european competition. and you saw what it meant to the fans and the club. this is not a club which is used to winning things, which is why so many fans are in tears. this is such a seven —— special moment. they think this might not happen again in their lifetime which is so rare for a club like west ham to win a major european trophy. a club like west ham to win a ma'or european “pw-d a club like west ham to win a ma'or european emmi a club like west ham to win a ma'or european trophy. thank you, see you later, european trophy. thank you, see you later. looks — european trophy. thank you, see you later, looks great there. _ the full extent of the devastation caused by the collapse of a major dam in southern ukraine is starting to become clear. ukraine's army has released footage appearing to show drones delivering water bottles to people stranded by floodwaters in russian—controlled areas of the kherson region. we're joined now by our diplomatic correspondent paul adams.
6:08 am
good morning. there are now concerned that the water levels could rise even further, causing more logistical problems, simply a thing of having access to drinking water. thing of having access to drinking water. officials told people to stay inside. many that ventured out wore masks reminiscent of the pandemic. have you ever seen anything like this? no, i said it was like the apocalypse. that's what i feel like. it's very scary and dangerous. at the moment, it seems as though we may have reached the peak of the flooding. that is just leaving an immense task for everyone involved in trying to do with this situation. they are having to be quite ingenious getting water to people using drones. that doesn't surprise me at all. it is indicative of the kind of measures that had been used
6:09 am
throughout this wall to try and alleviate situations. it is difficult because the reservoir which is emptying, and will continue to empty for weeks into the black sea, that was a major source of drinking water for a sea, that was a major source of drinking waterfor a huge sea, that was a major source of drinking water for a huge area sea, that was a major source of drinking waterfor a huge area of southern ukraine. also a major source of water for irrigation in a very important part of the country for agriculture. very important part of the country foragriculture. so very important part of the country for agriculture. so for a number of reasons, the disappearance of that vast reservoir, 150 miles long, is going to have very considerable, long term consequences. president zelensky in his overnight address sounded extremely frustrated at what he saw as a slow international response, he particularly singled out the red cross for not getting involved, and he said that basically international aid organisations had forgotten how to save lives. as a bit of an indication of the kind of
6:10 am
size of the cost of all of this, the world bank has offered to do a quick assessment of the economic damage caused by the collapse of the dam, they already reckon it is going to cost in excess of $400 billion to recover ukraine's economy after the war. this will have added many billions of dollars more to that colossal bill. ._ billions of dollars more to that colossal bill. . thank you, paul adams, colossal bill. . thank you, paul adams. our— colossal bill. . thank you, paul adams, our diplomatic - colossal bill. . thank you, paul- adams, our diplomatic correspondent. the canadian government says nearly 100 million people in the us and canada are experiencing very poor air quality, caused by smoke from more than 400 wildfires which are burning across quebec. hazy conditions have spread as far south as the us states of georgia and florida. in the city of new york, officials said the air had reached "hazardous" levels. samira hussain reports. a thick orange haze engulfed new york city. smoke from several hundred wildfires burning across canada blanketed the northeastern united states with polluted air, giving an eerie
6:11 am
orange glow to the sun. yet another new york city attraction to photograph. officials told people to stay inside. many that ventured out wore masks reminiscent of the pandemic. have you ever seen anything like this? no, i said it was like the apocalypse. that's what i feel like. it's very scary and dangerous. i haven't had a mask on since covid. no, never seen anything like this before at all. this is bonkers. i was completely- shocked by the haze. and it's like you can smell this horrible, horrible smell. - it feels like a video game, it don't feel real. it smells weird, it's just crazy, like my lungs feel weird right now. 0vernight, new york reported one of the worst air qualities of a major city in the world. normally, from where i am in lower manhattan, you can easily make out those buildings in newjersey. if you step over this way over my shoulder should be the statue of liberty. and if you can't make it out, well, you'lljust have to take my word for it. the blurry new york city scenes may be around a few more days
6:12 am
as the hazardous air will linger until the end of the week. samira hussein, bbc news, new york. a high court trial, which has seen prince harry accuse the mirror group newspapers of using phone hacking to find stories about his private life, continues this morning. mirror group denies the allegations. frances read is outside the high court. good morning, frances. there has been a lot of attention on this trial because of prince harry, and it continues today.— trial because of prince harry, and it continues today. that's right, we are rroin it continues today. that's right, we are going to _ it continues today. that's right, we are going to hear— it continues today. that's right, we are going to hear from _ it continues today. that's right, we are going to hear from some - it continues today. that's right, we are going to hear from some of - it continues today. that's right, we j are going to hear from some of the other claimant day but as you rightly said, prince harry has really stolen the show. this is a test case, prince harry determined to see what he sees as the injustices caused by the tabloid press, one of four people suing mirror group newspapers with allegation of things like float hacking dating back 20 odd years in some cases. mgm determined to show
6:13 am
that the claim is obvious but —— pure speculation. prince harry was questioned for eight hours and it concluded yesterday. we heard more about the 33 stories he said were obtained through unlawful means, phone hacking all through private investigators, and we heard why he chose to bring the case, saying he wanted to stop hate against his wife meghan. we heard from the journalist who had her byline on ten of the 33 stories, she said she could not remember sources for some of them and did not know how private investigators obtained information. she is due back in court this morning. nikki sanderson who was in coronation street, the actress, is expected today. this case is expected today. this case is expected today. this case is expected to last another two to three weeks at the moment. . thank ou. the prime minister will meet president biden at the white house later ——
6:14 am
with the war in ukraine likely they're also expected to discuss the regulation of artificial intelligence — after rishi sunak announced the uk will host a global summit on the safety of ai in the autumn. 0ur political editor chris mason reports from washington. diplomacy can be politicians meeting each other for talks. but when prime ministers are abroad, it usually involves something colourful and culturally relevant too. so when in america, how about baseball? rishi sunak went to a rather sparsely attended match here last night. now, though, it's back to serious discussion about trade links between america and the uk and about the war in ukraine. i'm proud that the uk has played a leadership role when it comes to supporting ukraine, particularly militarily. but the us obviously has been the largest contributor to that effort. i'll be working closely with president biden to make sure that we continue, both of us, supporting ukraine with the resources it needs to defend itself in the here and now, but also thinking ahead to what kind of longer term security arrangements
6:15 am
and agreements we can put in place to make sure that... like what? well, those are the conversations that i'll be having with the president. keep your eye on the sky or actually just below the ceiling. that's a drone up there. mr sunak turned up at an after school club with something of a technology buzz. he'll spend this morning meeting business leaders. rishi sunak will be here at the white house later, his first visit as prime minister. talking about ukraine, but also talking about trade. although there won't be talk of any free trade deal between the uk and the us, that is definitely not happening. also likely to feature, artificial intelligence, computers becoming cleverer than us and all of the implications of that for all of us. and what role, if any, the uk might play in regulating it. britain will host what's described as a global summit on artificial intelligence in the autumn. the focus now, though, is on the get—together here this
6:16 am
afternoon as the prime minister meets the president. chris mason, bbc news, in washington. us media say prosecutors have told lawyers for donald trump that he is the target of an investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left the white house. mr trump is currently campaigning to become president again. analysts say it is the clearest sign yet that prosecutors are moving closer to charging the former president over records kept at his residence in florida. one of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted, spewing massive flows of lava around the crater floor in hawaii. this amazing footage is of the kilauea volcano which is located in a closed area of hawaii volcanoes national park. that is remarkable! it erupted yesterday, for the second time this year.
6:17 am
ifind i find these pictures ifind these pictures mesmerising. the lava spewing. we got more? it is a reminder of— the lava spewing. we got more? it 3 a reminder of the power of nature, quite experienced —— extraordinary. speaking of! carolyn here, good morning. good morning. it will turn more humid by day and by night in the weekend, temperatures going up and the chance of thunderstorms. temperatures on saturday, 26 in the highlands and northern england, wales, 29 or locally 30 degrees in the south—east. these are the daytime temperatures. it will be a shock to the system to see the night—time temperatures, they are going to be way up in the teens, compared to where they have been the last few weeks. this morning we are
6:18 am
starting with a lot of cloud, a chilly start in aboyne, freezing, and the coast, 13 degrees. the sunshine in the west will spread further east, just east in areas that hang onto a little bit more in the way of cloud. still breezy, a brisk breeze coming in from the south—east, across southern england and the english channel. a breezy day to generally. these other temperatures, cooler in the east out towards the west the sunshine, south—west and wales and central england could 25 degrees. grass pollen levels are high or very high across england and wales. it evening it is a repeat performance, the cloud comes back in and nick in a fulsome drizzle, some showers coming up fulsome drizzle, some showers coming up from the south—west which could be thundery and these are the overnight lows. locally where we have got clear skies, we could see them three or 4 degrees. then it
6:19 am
starts to turn warmer and humid. cancer patients across the uk aren't being given safe and effective care in the nhs, according to the body which represents cancer specialists. the royal college of radiologists says the nhs is facing "chronic staff shortages" — with patients waiting too long for vital tests and treatments. 0ur health reporterjim reed has been speaking to some of those affected. come on, derek. come on. carol fletcher from south wales has just finished chemo. there we go, there's a tummy rub. she was diagnosed with cancer last year after routine screening. i could see that there was something very wrong with that mammogram. i didn't have to be an expert to see that. it looked like two fireworks had gone off in my breast, basically. but it took two months from her screening appointments for carol to be called
6:20 am
back for tests. she didn't have surgery until november or chemo untiljanuary. every time i have a consultation or have a operation or have a biopsy, it's at least a two week delay. so it adds up. and that's the main thing, isn't it? catch it early, treat it early, better outcome for everybody. i don't want to be... i don't want to leave my family and that has frightened me. i do not want to be that sort of burden that i'm not here for my family. there is no evidence of recurrent disease below the diaphragm, full stop. cancer targets are being missed across the uk as hospitals struggle to shift a backlog caused in part by covid. doctors say one key reason is a lack of specialists. staff shortages are really the major contributor and staff shortages are getting worse. we're really concerned for patients. we're really concerned that if we don't do something about this, that the delays are going to get longer. in all four nations of the uk, ministers say investment is being
6:21 am
made in staff and equipment. in england, a long—awaited plan to grow the nhs workforce is expected in weeks. all this comes as demand for cancer checks has been soaring. don't carry the worry of cancer with you. in part because of campaigns like this. in blackpool, in lancashire, for example, the number coming forward for cancer checks is up 60% in the last five years and that rising trend is only expected to continue as the population gets older, putting even more pressure on nhs services. so we're just going to take a locating photograph. at this clinic, they've had to change the way they work. last year, richard was one of the first to have images of his suspected skin cancer taken by a medical photographer. so this is a very suspicious looking lesion. instead of seeing one doctor face to face, these detailed images can be shared and checked far more quickly.
6:22 am
a technique known as teledermatology. it's quick and efficient and it's good use of our time. and without it? without it, oh, i dread to think what we'd be like without teledermatology in all honesty. i think we'd really be struggling and we wouldn't be meeting any of our cancer targets and meeting the needs of our patients in our area. come in, take a seat. thank you. how are you? one in three of us will get cancer in our lifetime. doctors say new ways of working, new technologies and more staff will all be needed. so more patients like richard, now back for his final checkup, can hear news like this. this and that's fantastic, there's nothing concerning about today so that's really good. 50 110 concerns there. fantastic, it's good to be signed off. i jim reed, bbc news, blackpool. it is something we will be discussed later on in the programmejust it is something we will be discussed later on in the programme just after 8am, speaking to macmillan cancer
6:23 am
support about some of the problems they are facing within the nhs specific cancer treatments. let's have a look at today's papers. the times leads with a report that millions of holiday—makers are facing travel disruption this summer, due to the biggest security staff strikes in heathrow�*s history. the i says that small businesses across the uk are planning to launch legal action against energy companies over high—cost deals, which they say have added thousands of pounds to their annual bills through undeclared commission fees. the sun's front page reports that former coronation street actorjulie goodyer, who played the iconic character bet lynch, has dementia. the 81—year—old's husband, scott brand, who was speaking on her behalf, said fans needed to know she still loves going out. and the princess of wales features on several front pages, including the telegraph, which says she was on the ball while playing rugby during a visit to maidenhead. what has tickled your fancy on the inside? . . ., , , .,

6:25 am
lorna gordon will be showing us around and examining whether or not people still search for nessie. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are, which might be affected by regional industrial action. families of victims of the manchester arena bombing are calling on the government and the emergency services to show more urgency and implement the findings of the report into the incident. this week the inquiry chairman, sirjohn saunders, held follow—up sessions to see if his recommendations on safety and security at venues were being implemented. the lawyer representing 11 of the families said they were disappointed by what they'd heard. the government are legally responsible for the health and safety of every person in this country, and if these venues are not providing an adequate level of care to those present
6:26 am
because recommendations have not been implemented then ultimately those responsible for this failure, including the government, should be held to account. labour has accused the government of blocking a fully independent inquiry into allegations of corruption in the awarding of contracts to redevelop the country's largest industrial site, the former steelworks at redcar on teeside. yesterday, levelling up secretary michael gove appointed a panel to examine the allegations but his labour counterpart lisa nandy says the investigation should be led by the national audit office. a judicial review takes place today to try to overturn the government's decision to allow gas drilling in the surrey countryside. chancellorjeremy hunt has joined with environmentalists and local residents to oppose the drilling, at dunsfold, in mr hunt's constituency. the review seeks to stop plans for exploratory drilling by uk oil and gas. planned strike action on greater manchester's metrolink network has been called off. mayor andy burnham said that after talks between the unite union
6:27 am
and metrolink�*s operators, industrial action would be suspended while unions considered a new pay offer. the strikes would have hit this weekend's parklife festival. the famous appleby horse fair gets underway today in cumbria. around 30,000 visitors are expected, including up to 10,000 from the gypsy and traveller communities. a local residents group, the appleby fair communities group, has called for tighter regulation of the 250—year—old event, which has seen incidents of anti—social behaviour in recent years. the last remaing gas—lit cinema in the world is reopening its doors later this month after a £4 million restoration. the 109—year—old hyde park picture house, in leeds, is one of the oldest in the uk. the restoration work funded by the heritage lottery and leeds city council began in 2015 but was delayed by the pandemic. here's the weather with sara. good morning. it is going to be another fine, dry day out there today. we've got a change coming, though.
6:28 am
this area of low pressure, the former storm 0scar, working its way up from the north, just nudging the high pressure out of the way in the next couple of days. so we'll see a change, and certainly a change in the temperature. today, though, the low cloud that came in from the north sea is clearing, so brighter skies returning again. still feeling very warm, with temperatures anywhere between 14—23 celsius this afternoon. and quite a breezy day as well, with that wind becoming quite brisk. but through this evening and overnight, although clear skies initially, the cloud tends to start to come back in again. i think the clearer skies still remaining across the west and the north—west of the country, with temperatures overnight dropping anywhere between 7—14 celsius. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up to half past six and time to talk to mike and find out what is happening because there were celebrations in prague yesterday
6:29 am

6:30 am
it was left to the skipper declan rice to lift their first trophy in 43 years. in what could be his last game for the club. and here he is celebrating on the pitch in prague — dancing the night away. i'm sure all of the players, staff and fans celebrated well into the night. and his team mate and match winner jarrod bowen would have definately been enjoying himself. i don't know if i fell over, but i looked — i don't know if i fell over, but i looked up _ i don't know if i fell over, but i looked up and the ball was going in and i_ looked up and the ball was going in and i was _ looked up and the ball was going in and i was like, this has not happened. i was speaking all week to my family— happened. i was speaking all week to my family saying, imagine a last—minute goal in the european final to _ last—minute goal in the european final to win— last—minute goal in the european final to win it. i spoke about the press _ final to win it. i spoke about the press comments and saying i would love to _ press comments and saying i would love to score a goal, but to score a winner_ love to score a goal, but to score a winner in— love to score a goal, but to score a winner in the — love to score a goal, but to score a winner in the last minute, to bring this trophy— winner in the last minute, to bring this trophy to this club is the best moment— this trophy to this club is the best moment of— this trophy to this club is the best moment of my career. and for manager david moyes,

change in how we shop. lots of us are going less often and buying more own—brand food. hannah's taking a looking at this for us this morning... yes, we still talk about the 'weekly shop' but in reality we've been going to the supermarket much more than that. before the pandemic, the average household went 18 times a month. that has fallen though — now it's down to 16 times a month. 0n the flip side, we're spending more when we're there — because of rising prices, which are growing at the fastest rate for 45 years. and that's fuelled the popularity of own—brand groceries. 45% of sales were for own brand products back in 2005. at the end of last year that had risen to more than half of all sales. the hunt for a bargain is also driving a surge in popularity for discount stores. sales at aldi and lidl soared

7:03 am
do you, to appreciate a sweet victory after so long with nothing. absolutely, west i'm not a club used to this kind of success, that's why there was so much a sense of disbelief among the fans last night. and indeed they are still pinching themselves as they wake up and come to the old town square this morning including the fans with that flag which has been signed by hundreds of fans, there were considerably more fans, there were considerably more fans on the hill above prague in the fans on the hill above prague in the fan zone, over 21,000, fans on the hill above prague in the fan zone, over21,000, than fans on the hill above prague in the fan zone, over 21,000, than they were in the stadium. and that was someplace to watch the drama last night unfolds. an iconic moment in the history of west ham. that will be talked about the generations as captain declan rice lifted their first major european trophy since the days of bobby moore, 58 years ago. a moment that over 21,000 at the fan zone on the hill above prague will never forget as they basked

7:05 am
the bubble was burst as fiorentina equalised. the fans here were now bracing themselves for extra time and potentially the dreaded penalties. but there was a final twist, a fairy tale ending in the 89th minute. jarrod bowen broke free and despite the magnitude of what this could mean, he kicked his team into west ham folklore. having seen their dreams dashed once already, fans had to steel themselves in case there was any late drama. but not this time. their team were major european trophy winners. and a tidal wave of emotion and unbridled exhalation swept across the park. absolutely amazing. this is the best night of my night ever, ijust can't believe i'm here. i think i'm dreaming, ijust can't believe that

the latest retailer to scrap use—by dates on milk, as part of efforts to reduce food waste. m&s is urging customers to use theirjudgment on whether the milk is safe before throwing it away and it isn't the first company to do so. in 2019, the dairy giant arla swapped use—by dates for best—before, encouraging people to "sniff or taste if it's gone off". injanuary 2022, morrisons announced it was doing the same on 90% of its own brand milk, to help reduce waste. according to the environmental charity wrap, nearly 490—million pints of milk are thrown away each year, with the main reason being that it was past the use—by date. let's speak now to dairy farmer ceri cryer. good morning, ceri. you are near chippenham. we can see the cows here. you are out in the fields, hello. it's terrible that so much waste in milk is happening, people throwing away things unnecessarily.

all of the details later in the programme. it's thursday 8th june. our main story. west ham fans have been celebrating into the night after the club won its first major trophy for more than 40 years. a 90th minute goal by jarrod bowen saw the hammers beat italian side fiorentina 2—1 in the europa conference league final in the czech capital prague. mike is there for us this morning. so, mike, this was a great night for west ham and the significance of this really is all about how long since they have won anything, frankly. since they have won anything, frankl . , ,': since they have won anything, frankl . , g; , ., , ~ , frankly. yes, 43 years their fa cup final win in — frankly. yes, 43 years their fa cup final win in 1980, the _ frankly. yes, 43 years their fa cup final win in 1980, the last - frankly. yes, 43 years their fa cup final win in 1980, the last major i final win in 1980, the last major european trophy win was in 1965 in the days of bobby moore. it is still
8:05 am
sinking in. forthe fans the days of bobby moore. it is still sinking in. for the fans at this club, they are not used to winning a trophy. they finished seventh last season to get into the conference league play—offs last august, if you thought they would go all the way. it is sinking in, in this historic city square, the old town square full of history and monuments, this west ham team have created a lasting legacy. the other strange thing was, there were far more fans up in the found zone on top of the hill above prague, 21,000, than they were in the stadium and that is where i watched the game unfold. an iconic moment in the history of west ham. that will be talked about the generations as captain declan rice lifted their first major european trophy since the days of bobby moore, 58 years ago. a moment that over 21,000 at the fan zone on the hill above prague will never forget as they basked in the glory and the fountain of bubbles released into the night sky. incredible scenes as their famous
8:06 am
anthem rang out across the whole of this city. # pretty bubbles in the air, united, united! so, going into the second half, it may be more tense than it was in the beginning but the west ham fans are still in great voice. and with more here, over 21,000 they estimate, than that the actual stadium, just imagine the noise if they score, they've just come close. and that's exactly what happened. 17 minutes into the second half. a west ham penalty for handball and the moment they had all waited for. said benrahma keeping his cool as everyone else lost theirs. uncontrollable joy and disbelief. it was actually happening. but the songs of celebration were silenced just five minutes later. the bubble was burst as fiorentina equalised. the fans here were now bracing themselves for extra time and potentially
8:07 am
the dreaded penalties. but there was a final twist, a fairy tale ending in the 89th minute. jarrod bowen broke free and despite the magnitude of what this could mean, he kicked his team into west ham folklore. having seen their dreams dashed once already, fans had to steel themselves in case there was any late drama. but not this time. their team were major european trophy winners. and a tidal wave of emotion and unbridled exhalation swept across the park. absolutely amazing. this is the best night of my night ever, ijust can't believe i'm here. this is the best night of my life ever, ijust can't believe i'm here. i think i'm dreaming, i just can't believe that west ham have won something. we have won more titles than spurs. west ham are the best club in the world. come on you irons! my dad brought me up west ham every single game and all that. _
8:08 am
sadly he passed away two years ago. ever since we have been battling for europe, - battling for europe and now we have finally won it so this _ one's for him. every fan has their own story of why this means so much. but they can all say forevermore, i was there on that perfect night in prague. # and like my dreams they fade and die. amid all the celebrations and emotion, west ham were quick to condemn the behaviour of a small number of fans, after fiorentino's cristiano biraghi was hit by objects thrown from the sand. he was —— from the stand. he was left bloodied of the stand. he was left bloodied of the was hit by objects after taking a corner. i6 the was hit by objects after taking a corner. 16 people were also arrested after an incident in a bar before the match but there was no trouble after the match ended all off peacefully. fans making their

8:10 am
to stay inside. many that ventured out wore masks reminiscent of the pandemic. have you ever seen anything like this? no, i said it was like the apocalypse. that's what i feel like. it's very scary and dangerous. i haven't had a mask on since covid. no, never seen anything like this before at all. this is bonkers. i was completely- shocked by the haze. and it's like you can smell this horrible, horrible smell. - it feels like a video game, it don't feel real. it smells weird, it's just crazy, like my lungs feel weird right now. overnight, new york reported one of the worst air qualities of a major city in the world. normally, from where i am in lower manhattan, you can easily make out those buildings in newjersey. if you step over this way over my shoulder should be the statue of liberty. and if you can't make it out, well, you'lljust have to take my word for it. the blurry new york city scenes may be around a few more days as the hazardous air will linger until the end of the week. samira hussein, bbc news, new york.

us media reports say that prosecutors have told lawyers for donald trump that he is the target of an investigation by the department ofjustice. analysts say it's the clearest sign yet that prosecutors are moving closer to charging the former president over his handling of classified information after he left the white house. mr trump is currently campaigning to become president for a second time. a high court trial, which has seen prince harry accuse mirror group newspapers of using phone hacking to find stories about his private life, continues this morning. harry has finished giving evidence for a second day and told the court he brought the case to stop hate towards his wife meghan. other individuals involved in the case are now set to give evidence at the trial. mirror group denies the allegations. the prime minister will meet president biden at the white house later with the war in ukraine likely to be a dominating theme of their talks. they're also expected to discuss the regulation of artificial

intelligence after rishi sunak announced the uk will host a global summit on the safety of ai in the autumn. our political editor chris mason reports from washington. diplomacy can be politicians meeting each other for talks. but when prime ministers are abroad, it usually involves something colourful and culturally relevant too. so when in america, how about baseball? rishi sunak went to a rather sparsely attended match here last night. now, though, it's back to serious discussion about trade links between america and the uk and about the war in ukraine. i'm proud that the uk has played a leadership role when it comes to supporting ukraine, particularly militarily. but the us obviously has been the largest contributor to that effort. i'll be working closely with president biden to make sure that we continue, both of us, supporting ukraine with the resources it needs to defend itself in the here and now, but also thinking ahead to what kind of longer term security arrangements and agreements we can put in place
8:13 am
to make sure that... like what? well, those are the conversations that i'll be having with the president. keep your eye on the sky or actually just below the ceiling. that's a drone up there. mr sunak turned up at an after school club with something of a technology buzz. he'll spend this morning meeting business leaders. rishi sunak will be here at the white house later, his first visit as prime minister. talking about ukraine, but also talking about trade. although there won't be talk of any free trade deal between the uk and the us, that is definitely not happening. also likely to feature, artificial intelligence, computers becoming cleverer than us and all of the implications of that for all of us. and what role, if any, the uk might play in regulating it. britain will host what's described as a global summit on artificial intelligence in the autumn. the focus now, though, is on the get—together here this afternoon as the prime minister meets the president. chris mason, bbc

weekend in the uk, and carol is going to tell us about it. yes, turning warmer in the south—east, we could hit 30 degrees. but the humidity is what i want to push by day and i know it. different to what we have had recently. we have high levels of pollen in england and wales, likely to remain like that for the next few days. the other thing which will be high is the uv across the whole country. for the uv across the whole country. for the next few days. a cloudy start to the next few days. a cloudy start to the paper many of us this morning, the paper many of us this morning, the weather watchers —— to the day for many of us, this is a weather watcher picture from norfolk. the cloud will push back towards the north sea coastline and the sun will come out behind it. the present day in the channel islands, dry weather

across the south. for north west england, northern ireland and scotland, sunny spells. the low cloud we currently have in northern ireland will thin and break. the east coast will hang onto the cloud. a breezy day wherever you are. through the afternoon we will see some showers arrive in the isles of scilly. central england towards the south—west, parts of wales, it could hit 25 degrees. tonight the cloud comes rolling back in from the north sea, we will see some showers pushing across south—west england and the channel islands, increasingly thundery. not a cold night but where we hang on to the clear skies in the north and west, temperatures could fall away to and 4 degrees. —— between three and 4 degrees. cancer patients across the uk
8:17 am
aren't being given safe and effective care in the nhs, according to the body which represents cancer specialists. the royal college of radiologists says the nhs is facing "chronic staff shortages" with patients waiting too long for vital tests and treatments. our health reporterjim reed has been speaking to some of those affected. come on, derek. come on. carol fletcher from south wales has just finished chemo. there we go, there's a tummy rub. she was diagnosed with cancer last year after routine screening. i could see that there was something very wrong with that mammogram. i didn't have to be an expert to see that. it looked like two fireworks had gone off in my breast, basically. but it took two months from her screening appointments for carol to be called back for tests. she didn't have surgery until november or chemo untiljanuary. every time i have a consultation or have a operation or have a biopsy, it's at least a two week delay.
8:18 am
so it adds up. and that's the main thing, isn't it? catch it early, treat it early, better outcome for everybody. i don't want to be... i don't want to leave my family and that has frightened me. i do not want to be that sort of burden that i'm not here for my family. there is no evidence of recurrent disease below the diaphragm, full stop. cancer targets are being missed across the uk as hospitals struggle to shift a backlog caused in part by covid. doctors say one key reason is a lack of specialists. staff shortages are really the major contributor and staff shortages are getting worse. we're really concerned for patients. we're really concerned that if we don't do something about this, that the delays are going to get longer. in all four nations of the uk, ministers say investment is being made in staff and equipment. in england, a long—awaited plan to grow the nhs workforce is expected in weeks.
8:19 am
all this comes as demand for cancer checks has been soaring. don't carry the worry of cancer with you. in part because of campaigns like this. in blackpool, in lancashire, for example, the number coming forward for cancer checks is up 60% in the last five years and that rising trend is only expected to continue as the population gets older, putting even more pressure on nhs services. so we're just going to take a locating photograph. at this clinic, they've had to change the way they work. last year, richard was one of the first to have images of his suspected skin cancer taken by a medical photographer. so this is a very suspicious looking lesion. instead of seeing one doctor face to face, these detailed images can be shared and checked far more quickly. a technique known as teledermatology. it's quick and efficient and it's good use of our time. and without it?
8:20 am
without it, oh, i dread to think what we'd be like without teledermatology in all honesty. i think we'd really be struggling and we wouldn't be meeting any of our cancer targets and meeting the needs of our patients in our area. come in, take a seat. thank you. how are you? one in three of us will get cancer in our lifetime. doctors say new ways of working, new technologies and more staff will all be needed. so more patients like richard, now back for his final checkup, can hear news like this. and that's fantastic, there's nothing concerning about today so that's really good. 50 no concerns there. fantastic, it's good to be signed off. i jim reed, bbc news, blackpool. we're joined now by minesh patel from macmillan cancer support. and from macmillan cancer support. thank you to all of who and thank you to all of those people who told those stories in the report. good morning, minesh tstop can you do the obvious thing and draw the line between the shortage
8:21 am
of expert staff, doctors and radiologists, and the delays in people getting treatment, can you draw the line between those things? sure. first of all, it's a really hard time for people living with cancer right now. macmillan are hearing from people who are really worried about their care and treatment. we have a situation where more people are coming forward for cancer checks and in the system, but people are not getting treated quickly enough. to give one example in england in march earlier this year there were 6000 people waiting more than two months to start cancer treatment, you should start within a two month window. you have a situation where huge numbers of people are waiting to start care but the cancer workforce is not there. shortages in doctors, nurses, radiologists, there is a huge mismatched that needs to be adjusted by investment in the council workforce. by investment in the council workforce-— by investment in the council workforce. , ., ., workforce. the department of health and social has _ workforce. the department of health and social has said _ workforce. the department of health and social has said to _ workforce. the department of health and social has said to us, _

in loch ness, we can see for miles around. those who go out on boats here,always on the lookout for anything unusual. the echo sounder on our right hand side here, we are really looking for a sonar contact on that. that would be nice. we can see there is a big contact on the screen just now. that is just a fish. there are plenty of hiding places here for the fabled beast, reaching depths of over 200 metres, loch ness is vast and contains, it's said, as much water as the lakes of england and wales combined. steve feltham has dedicated his life to solving the mystery of the loch ness monster and believes he saw it once, too. it was like waves going that way across my vision, and the waves were maybe a foot and a half high. something shot through like a torpedo, and as it hit each oncoming wave, a splash of water. when i arrived here full—time in 1991, i was looking for longneck dinosaurs, convinced that was what i was here to find.

i'm not now. i know we haven't got plesiosaurs in here, i know for sure they're not in here. i wish they were, but the identity of nessie is not up to me. whatever it is, it is. wanda, wanda ? something black there! there's been more than 1000 recorded alleged sightings. can you get it? no, just wait. though the legend can be traced to the sixth century, modern records go back 90 years. the history, sightings and scientists who have investigated the phenomenon... ..you are a big part of this story, adrian.. celebrated at the revamped visitors centre, reopening to the public. what's the appeal to you? me? well, i was a schoolboy of the 60s, and the 60s were a time when anything we wanted could be true, so yes, that's what drew me.
8:54 am
i had my little submersible hide, sat on the bottom. we baited it to attract the fish and hopefully something bigger. well, we didn't have an encounter, but there we are. we've used sonar. so would you say you are a sceptic or a believer? i'm sceptical, but not cynical. there is a difference. i would say urquhart castle there, that's a definite hotspot. those hunting for the monster hoping they will be the one who finally prove it really does exist. if you're in the right place at the right time, anybody could solve this mystery tomorrow, and i'm here all the time, and i'm watching. it could be me. the scenery here is stunning, but it is the legend of the loch ness monster that is equally the draw. with me is paul nixon from the loch ness centre, and mr loch ness,
