good morning. when was the last time you used your local launderette. it is thought there are only 2000 left in the uk and with energy prices staying stubbornly high, many more could be headed for theirfinal spin. the number of hayfever sufferers seeking nhs advice triples as pollen counts hit some of the highest levels this year. good morning, the pollen levels are high or very high more or less across the board. the forecast, another hot, humid day for most. fewer showers than yesterday but thundery downpours across scotland in western northern ireland. all the details later. it's tuesday, the 13th ofjune. our main story. the official inquiry into the government's handling of the covid—i9 pandemic will start to hear evidence today from people

who lost loved ones to the illness, or suffered with it themselves. the inquiry began last year, but today is the first public hearing, with evidence expected to be heard for at least three years. covid has been included on the death certificates of more than 225,000 people in the uk. with more details, here's our health correspondent catherine burns. headlines for you at six o'clock this morning. nine dead and more than 400 infected with a mystery new virus in china. for many, this feels like a long time ago. the numbers were relatively small at first, but, within just two months, the impact was becoming clear. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. from lockdown to clap for carers, from rising death tolls to the first vaccines, we've lived through several covid milestones. and, this morning, a new one — the start of the next phase of the uk covid—i9 public inquiry.

in a preliminary hearing last year, the chair was clear about what herjob is. my principal aim is to produce reports and recommendations before another disaster strikes the four nations of the united kingdom and, if it is possible, to reduce the number of deaths, the suffering and the hardship. she'll start today with a film showing the impact of the pandemic. then the focus for the next six weeks will shift to deal with herfirst question — was the uk prepared for this? i think it's really important that those key questions are addressed about how ready we were, whether we had the right investment, whether we had the right staff in the health service to be resilient enough to respond to a major emergency like that. and, of course, there's lots of questions about the ongoing management of the pandemic that need to be looked at.

but it is really important that those questions are not dodged and that those that had to pick up the pieces in the nhs, those people who lost loved ones and family members, know that there's been some accountability and that some of the lessons have been learned so we avoid the same mistakes again in the future. the inquiry will be split into several modules. this first — pandemic preparedness — will hear from about 70 witnesses. then political decisions will come under the spotlight, followed by the impact on the nhs across the uk. the inquiry will then look at vaccines and drugs. modules have been announced, too, on government procurement and social care, but we can expect others later — for example, how this affected education and business. the government says it's committed to learning from the inquiry�*s findings and will consider all recommendations it makes. but expect a distraction in these early weeks as it goes to court to try to avoid handing over what it says is irrelevant material. inquiry insiders are confident that they will win, though. catherine burns, bbc news.

rishi sunak and his predecessor borisjohnson have escalated their feud over the former prime minister's failed attempts to elevate several close allies to the house of lords. first, mr sunak claimed his former cabinet colleague had asked him to do something that wasn't right — a claim mrjohnson dismissed as "rubbish". 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. what is going on here? who is telling the truth? it is what is going on here? who is telling the truth?— telling the truth? it is hard to know for sure. _ telling the truth? it is hard to know for sure. it _ telling the truth? it is hard to know for sure. it is _ telling the truth? it is hard to know for sure. it is a - telling the truth? it is hard to know for sure. it is a private | know for sure. it is a private conversation and there are different interpretations of what went on. last night we heard for the first time from nadine dorries, an mp who borisjohnson wanted to put in the house of lords. she was damning of rishi sunak accusing him of weasel words, saying the prime minister was not telling the truth. and basically she had not been given all the

information she needed to stand down from the house of commons and moved to the house of lords. rishi sunak yesterday, he was probably as strong as i have heard him speak since he became prime minister in criticising his predecessor saying he asked him to do something he was not prepared to do something he was not prepared to do something he was not prepared to do and if people did not like it, tough. the two are at loggerheads. the big moment i think is going to be tomorrow when we get the publication of the report from the committee in parliament that has been looking into whether boris johnson misled mps when he said there were not parties in downing street. that is the reason he quit, because he said it was not fair. we expect it to be damning of mr johnson and comments he made in parliament. there is a report this morning in the times that it will say he deliberately misled mps. we

will see exactly what it says tomorrow. meanwhile, there is a big row in the conservative party again over who is right, whether boris johnson has a future or not. that shows no sign of going away. thank ou. a man suspected of shooting dead a british schoolgirl in france has tested positive for both alcohol and cannabis, according to the french authorities. ii—year—old solaine thornton was killed while she and her younger sister played on swings outside the family home in brittany on saturday night. a dutch neighbour, 71—year—old dirk raats, is under arrest. 0ur correspondent hugh schofield reports. the thorntons from 0ldham had been living contentedly with their two daughters in this peaceful brittany village for four years. but, on saturday, their happiness was shattered. it was at ten o'clock on saturday evening. the girls were playing in the swings over there. the parents were at the barbecue on that bench there, when suddenly, through the hedge on the other side

of the play area, shots rang out. ii—year—old solaine thornton was hit. she died in her mother's arms. her parents were also injured, her father seriously. the shots came from this property owned by a 71—year—old dutchman called dirk raats. locals said he was a recluse. translation: we know nothing about him. - i only ever saw him from behind. if you ask me what he looked like, i couldn't tell you because i never saw his face. the local mayor said there had been a dispute going back at least three years, after the dutchman complained about mr thornton clearing his land. translation: it's a feeling of horror, of shock, because when you hurt children its dramatic. tonight, police said that mr raats and his wife tested positive to alcohol and cannabis. he's been charged with murder.

in the village, there's stunned incomprehension. hugh schofield, bbc news, saint—herbot. campaigners and mps, including the chair of the commons equalities committee, have called for the uk's abortion laws to be reformed after a woman was jailed for terminating her pregnancy beyond the legal time limit. carla foster was at least 32 weeks pregnant when she obtained the abortion pills by post during lockdown. abortion is legal up to 2a weeks, and the procedure must be carried out in a clinic after ten weeks. caroline nokes mp told the bbc the law used in the prosecution, which dates back to 1861, was out of date. the former us president donald trump will appear in court in miami later charged with mishandling national security files. it comes after boxes of secret documents were found in his home in florida. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbaljoins us now from miami.

is a huge difference. it is not about breaking state laws relating to his campaign. this is the united states of america versus donald trump, the country saying we believe the former commander—in—chief needs to go on trial for allegedly breaching national security. the department ofjustice brought the case, a department he once ran as former president, and could potentially run again in future because remember, he is running to get back into the white house. there are lots of ifs along the way. it could go to trial, he could be convicted. quite a lot of uncertainty but what is for sure, this is another extraordinary moment in american political history. we'll get an idea of the health of the ukjob market in about an hour when the latest employment figures are released. the last set, released in may by the office for national statistics, showed a record rise in long—term sickness.

our business reporter ben king has been looking into it. interview — just waiting for them to come back. here at thejob centre in shrewsbury, there are plenty ofjobs available, with workers in the care sector or construction keen to hire. but around the country, millions of people who could work aren't. and the job here is to encourage whoever they can to get back into the labour force. there's so many barriers there. for example, we're working a lot with those over 50 who have come out of work and maybe they've had a long career and are facing redundancy. where do i go, what do i do, where do i turn, what does that mean for my pension? so that's why we have a huge focus within the department to look at 50—plus and help remove the barriers. the period after the pandemic has been highly unusual, with very low unemployment and record numbers of vacancies. vacancy numbers have started to fall, but employers keen to find or retain staff have been putting up pay, and that trend still seems to have a long way to run.

when you're in key sectors where a business simply cannot find the staff in order to attract the right talent to their business, they are pushing up pay quite substantially to try and attract people from different businesses to join them. and so we've seen that as a bit of a trend in really highly skilled areas, and there's just simply not enough people to fill those roles. lower—skilled roles are getting pay rises, too. the national living wage rose 9.7% in april, and many big employers, such as supermarkets, also put wages up. now, rising wages are obviously good news for anyone contending with the high cost of living, but the fear is that companies will pass those higher wages on to their customers in the form of higher prices. this recent period we've had a rapidly rising prices has lasted longer than anyone expected and the fear is that as long as wages are rising rapidly, prices will carry on rising rapidly, too. that would mean the bank of england has to put up interest rates again. the expectation that rates will stay

higher for longer has already seen mortgage rates rise. and if pay keeps rising, that trend will only continue. ben king, bbc news. storm warnings are in place for northern ireland and scotland today after torrential downpours caused flooding and traffic problems in other parts of the uk. the heavy rain affected roads, flights and even manchester city's victory parade, as vincent mcaviney reports. after a weekend of sunshine with temperatures topping 30 celsius in parts of the country, it was inevitable storms would follow. in north london, cars had to traverse deep puddles after downpours caused flash flooding. in maidenhead, it was much the same. drivers in hendon had to pause theirjourneys due to poor visibility.

and on the mi, cars even had to pass under a waterfall. whoo! over 7,500 lightning strikes were recorded nationwide, with more expected. despite the bad weather causing delays, thousands of manchester city fans lined city—centre streets for the open—top parade celebrating the club's treble. the players, still on a victorious high, seemed unfazed, taking their shirts off as they paraded their new silverware. for travellers, though, it was less joyous, with thunderstorms in the south of england having cancelled flights on sunday, causing knock—on delays and cancellations on monday due to planes being out of position. tuesday is set to be drier and more settled with large amounts of sunshine. but with yellow warnings in place for much of northern ireland and western scotland from noon till 9pm, we could see more

storm disruption. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. lots of problems everywhere with the rain. did you get caught in it? not flooding. i avoided the rain but i caught the tail end of it trying to travel yesterday so it is causing huge problems. a lot of things causing problems, pollen. they are calling it a pollen bomb. we are at the peak of the pollen season with grass pollen prevalent. you see the pollen moving around. you see the pollen moving around. you see the pollen moving around. you see it on cars for example. any area, subject that is stationary. if we get a lot of rain, it washes out the pollen. when the sun comes back, the pollen. when the sun comes back, the pollen. when the sun comes back, the pollen comes out again. these

are the pollen levels today. highly, very high. uv levels are high across the board. something to bear in mind if you spend time outdoors. many will start on a dry, sunny, humid note. areas of cloud in north—east scotland and north—east england and north and south—west england. around the south—west, we can see that close to the coast but a lot of dry weather. we have heavy downpours forecast in western scotland and western northern ireland. we could have as much as 30 millimetres in the space of an hour, possibly more if they linger. that could lead to local flooding. if they linger. that could lead to localflooding. gusty if they linger. that could lead to local flooding. gusty wind around. thunderstorms and large hail. yesterday, up to 3.30 this morning, we had 28,000 lightning strikes across parts of the uk. not all of us saw them. temperatures today, 14 in lerwick where we have cloud but

generally mid to high 20s. in southampton, we could reach a sticky 30. beyond today, it will feel less humid but it will still be warm and sunny. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the mirror leads on the covid inquiry, which features images of victims of the virus. the paper also accuses the prime minister and borisjohnson of "bickering like toddlers" over the resignation honours list. the guardian reports that both campaigners and mps have criticised the decision to sentence a woman to more than two years in prison, after she had taken medication to induce an abortion after the legal limit. the manchester city winger jack grealish makes the front of the sun — the paper shows him looking a bit worse for wear after celebrating his team's historic treble.

the picture shows him being helped out of his ibiza hotel by team—mate kyle walker. poor guy! and one of the most—read stories on the bbc news website is about women being able to apply to have their historic convictions for being gay removed for the first time. the government launched its pardon scheme in 2012 in england and wales, but until now, it applied only to men. we can have a look inside the newspapers. an outdoor theme to some of the stories. i love this. you might have to go in pretty close to find this. the headline gives it away. a loss to labrador finally found in a field of rapeseed. she slipped her lead, darted into the field and got caught up in her lead. a kind local put up a drone and they

managed to find the dog. that is what it looked like from the drone. you might be able to spot maisie the dog right there. she was able to be rescued. her owner suggest she would not have made it without the wonderful family. wonderfulfamily. that wonderful family. that is wonderfulfamily. that is a wonderful family. that is a scary wonderfulfamily. that is a scary moment if you have lost a dog in a big field. there is no real path. you cannot see how she got in. it is covered up behind. drones are useful for some things. this is in the mirror today. a lot of festivals coming up. i imagine you will be going to settle yourself with your tent. winnebago, perhaps. not my kind of thing. this is a scheme backed by lauren laverne who suggests, festivalgoers... a big problem is they abandon tents. an environmentally terrible thing to

do. a retailer is offering to take back one of its £30 tents if returned in good condition byjuly the 31st. returned in good condition byjuly the sist. it returned in good condition byjuly the 31st. it is the no tent left behind campaign. that is brilliant. they cause environmental havoc. in the house behind us someone has pitched a tent in the garden and i cannot work out if they are practising for festival or whether somebody has moved into the garden. having an adventure in their own back garden. nothing wrong with that. it is very neat but it has been there a while. if you're familiar with the ballet scene. then you've probably heard of carlos acosta. he spent decades centre stage, but now he's focused on getting young dancers ready for the spotlight. he's heading up a new section of the birmingham royal ballet

which is designed to help rising stars launch their careers, while also bringing new audiences to the art. jo black has more. on stage and in the spotlight, brb2 is a brand—newjunior ballet company giving some of the newest dancers from home and abroad the leading starring roles in their own productions — something which normally takes years to achieve. the developing future stars of this company will tour theatres in smaller towns and cities, like here in northampton, perhaps bringing the world of ballet to a new audience. it's the first time to the ballet. i'm getting on the old side and it's a tick off my bucket list. i've never seen one, i'm 80. so it's not something we'd normally

do and especially not midweek. we thought it's a really great opportunity to come and see some ballet and also hear the music that's going to be played and just have a different experience, do something new. it's amazing. it's good to see all vared ages come to see it, as well — _ the elderly and there's quite a few youngsters here, as well. - brb2 will run alongside its sister company birmingham royal ballet. the director here is carlos acosta, one of the most recognisable faces of the artform. he became a principal dancer atjust 18, so creating brb2 means he can give back similar opportunities once offered to him. when you receive a new dancer into a company, they are normally waiting around a lot before they actually have the limelight.

and the more you give them the limelight, they develop quickly and faster. and that is something that the company needs at the moment — having sort of like our own pool of talent that we could develop. and the dancers realise the chance to perform these main roles so early in their careers doesn't come along very often. now that we have our own tour, we're all learning so much from it that, hopefully, it will help us when we get to that point when we are older and we are principals. yes, so we have all the tools in our back pocket from this experience. i think it's an amazing opportunity and it's a lot of pressure, - but i'm really excited. graceful. carlos will also return to the stage himself later this year at the royal opera house to celebrate turning 50. he retired from the classical stage seven years ago, so insists these forthcoming

performances are not a comeback. ballet is hard and ballet at 50 is hard and so i'm already training. if i could manage to walk off, i would be very happy. so that's my goal, you know. one day, carlos will hang up his ballet shoes for good. but he's already working on who will become the big names of the future. jo black, bbc news. still to come on breakfast. he will meet the woman who sailed the atlantic in a catamaran which he steered using only her breath. natasha lambert will be on the sofa alongside her parents who also made the voyage. they will be with us around 8.10. an astonishing achievement and brilliant story. we

will bring that later. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, i'm asad ahmad. an appeal has gone out to londoners to not use their cars today as there's a "high" pollution alert. it's only the second time this year an laert has been issued — it's only the second time this year an alert has been issued — with the high temperatures and build—up of emmissions leading to particularly poor air quality. the mayor of london — on advice from imperial college london forecasters is urging people to walk, cycle or use public transport instead. the high temperatures also led to this yesterday. torrential rain causing flooding in golders green. it fell after the hot weekend weather. find out shortly if there's the chance of more of this happening later. london's ultra low emission zone raised more than £220 million last year. over 70 million of it came from fines, when people didn't — orforgot to — pay in time.

the details from transport for london came ahead of the controversial expansion of the zone in august — which is likely to raise even more money. tfl says the money — which worked out at over £4 million a week — is being used to cover "set—up costs" for the ulez expansion and for "running and improving" the rest of the transport network. there's a big shortage of foster carers in london, so redbridge borough council is looking to address that. they've encouraging current foster carers to share their experiences of looking after and helping vulnerable children — carers like geraldine, who's looked after around a hundred different children over the years. it's been very challenging. it's been very rewarding. and i think the most i've got out of it is in knowing so many wonderful young people. when they come into my home, they become part of my family. and

emma's here to prove that. you can hear more you can hear more on oui’ you can hear more on our lunchtime news at1:30pm. let's take a look at the tubes now. the part closure of the overground should only be in place for the next few minutes if everything goes to plan. after warm weather and flooding yesterday, the weather now — with kate. good morning. it was another warm and quite humid night last night. a little bit of mist out there in places this morning, but burning back. lots of sunshine today. it is a little bit calmer today — fewer showers, if any at all, the wind light. there's lots of sunshine, but it is still going to be hot. the air slightly dry, slightly less humid, but we're still looking at 29 celsius as a maximum temperature. now, overnight tonight, after a warm evening in the sunshine, it is dry and clear. temperatures again widely staying in double figures — ten celsius — perhaps not feeling quite so humid, but still warm overnight. high pressure very much in charge as we head through wednesday, and it's a bit of a repeat performance. lots of sunshine through the morning, perhaps a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud

through the afternoon. the wind light and temperatures are still hot — we're looking at a maximum of 28 celsius on wednesday. now, through the rest of this week, you can see things stay fairly similar — no significant rain in the forecast. a little bit more unsettled as we head into next week. that's it, i will be back in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. laundrettes used to be a staple feature of the high street but now rising energy costs are putting them out of business, according to industry leaders. nina can tell us more — she's found one in lancashire. good morning. morning. from a very

finally get to, with their supporters, celebrate this incredible treble winning season having won the champions league in istanbul. pep guardiola and the side showed off their trophies and tens of thousands of fans came out to celebrate with them. 0ur sports editor dan roan reports. the treble winners — manchester city! it was the biggest party the blue half of manchester has ever seen. city's triumphant treble—winning side, along with their silverware, presented on stage at the end of an open—top bus parade. thousands of fans defying the rain to be here. these, the scenes ofjubilation — this, what it meant to be champions of europe for the first time. thank you very much, thank you for all the support during the whole season. it's been incredible and we got three trophies! earlier on, the fans had been made to wait before seeing their heroes — a torrential downpour, along with thunder and lightning, delaying the start of the parade. but that didn't dampen the spirits of the players who'd reigned supreme in istanbul,

and had been partying ever since. making their way to the city centre via tram, jack grealish soaking up the atmosphere. later, manager pep guardiola and his team braving the elements as theirjourney down deansgate — along with the three trophies they've won in an unforgettable campaign — eventually got under way. firmly established as the dominant force in domestic football, city have enjoyed plenty of success in recent years, but nothing quite like this. city, city! for these fans, a chance to share in a piece of footballing history. you know when you get a cake, you've got the icing? well, today, we put the cherry on the top. it's just unbelievable. even now, it still doesn't seem real that we're treble winners. one of the best nights. in manchester's history. forget the reds, it's all about the blues. i these are the images that city fans will never forget, and always cherish. rodri's goal sealing victory over inter milan on a momentous night in istanbul.

abu dhabi's sheikh mansour, whose sovereign wealth has transformed his club, atjust his second match in 15 years of ownership. city finally getting their hands on the trophy they've coveted for so long. and 48 hours later, the celebrations remained in full swing. # glad all over, guardiola! having made their way to st peter's square, these players will have understood the impact their achievements have had. guardiola even finding a way to make light of the conditions. what a parade, what an afternoon. so we had to be the best parade with this rain, otherwise it's not manchester! no sunshine — no, we don't want sunshine! we want rain, rain. so the perfect one. having won the three biggest trophies on offer, city have secured sporting immortality. a close—to—perfect season ending with a celebration to match. dan roan, bbc news, manchester.

incredible scenes there. excitement is building ahead of one of sport's great rivalries, the ashes series between england and australia, which starts on friday. ben stokes has promised to stick to the philosophy his team have had since he came in as captain — to go for big scores, quickly. he's been speaking to bbc sport's isa guha, who asked him if this series represents england's greatest challenge. the ultimate challenge? no. it's another challenge. you know, we... we know the threat that australia pose — whoever they play against, they're an incredibly good team. but in terms of what we've done, we've found something that works. that's big. it's very big. and stokes gets to 50. you know, that doesn't change with the opposition. what we like to do — and what many other teams will always say — is that they concentrate on themselves way more than what they do on the opposition. but also respecting the opposition and respecting what they do have. nothing is going to change because we know that we've had unbelievable success with it. and if we were to change anything that we have done over the last 12

months because we find ourselves in the ashes series, then the last 12 months would be completely pointless. so impressive, england. and you have to sit back and admire. the ethos and the mantra of this team has been just about the style that you want to play — and not necessarily results—focused, but what would it mean to win the ashes? before we start playing in the ashes, obviously, we'll do the normal get—together, the normal sort of, "captain, what you got to say?" and all that kind of stuff. and i always go back to like a sort of little list — and at the bottom of the list is results. because if we do everything and stick to everything that we do above that "results" word, then the result look after itself. you know, not being so result—driven actually is a great way to sort ofjust simplify things and bring it back to ourselves as players and bring it back to ourselves as a team around the way that we want to play. cos if we play anywhere near the capability of what we can do and we have a good day, then the result�*s probably going to be a win.

and if we don't — we don't play well and we don't sort of stick to what we know works for us — then the result�*s going to be a loss. so, you know, putting results at the bottom is just sort of one thing that i'll keep hammering home and making sure that it's about our process and our mindset before anything else. make it good fun. that's when you know you're in a good culture and a good environment. just making sure that everything we do is just... there'sjust a good time, you know? whether that be on the field, off the field, the things we do together as a group. every series of players is a great occasion for england. you've got the ashes now, which isjust, you know, another occasion for us. and you've got to have fun in these times because when you're... the day that you finish and the day you retire and you're not able to have this feeling again of being in the dressing room with the other team—mates, or walking out at lord's, walking out at edgbaston, in front of that crowd at headingley, in front of that crowd — you know, you'll always look back and go, "i wish ijust tried to enjoy it a little bit more."

so there's no chance that we're going to have that in particular in this time, because i've got myself and baz making sure that everyone comes in and just makes sure that everything we do is with a smile on our face and we're having a good time on the field and off the field. baz being the coach, they have transformed the team. you can hear more on the podcast. the women's ashes gets under way a week on thursday, starting with a one off test in nottingham. kate cross, who's recovering from illness, has been named in the 15 player squad for the match at trent bridge. there'll also be three t20s and three one—dayers. australia's women are one of the most dominant sides in world sport and bowler issy wong, back in the england side, says they've set the standard everybody else is trying to reach. they've really kind of paved the way, i guess, as opposed to where women's cricket can get to. and the rest of us have had to try and keep up with them, which has not been an easy challenge. but, no — certainly it means, to me, that there's a lot of respect, but also, you know, fierce competition on the pitch.

britain has a new number one in women's tennis, with katie boulter replacing emma raducanu, after her run to the semi—finals at the surbiton trophy last week. raducanu has been hampered by injuries since winning the us 0pen two years ago and she'll miss wimbldon following hand and ankle surgery. that's given boulter top spot for the first time — she plays fellow briton emily appleton at the nottingham 0pen later. load of british players in action in nottingham including andy murray. back so quickly. he hasn't needed so much of a break, which is good. legion much of a break, which is good. won surbiton. much of a break, which is good. won surbiton- he — much of a break, which is good. won surbiton. he is _ much of a break, which is good. won surbiton. he is after _ much of a break, which is good. won surbiton. he is after wimbledon, three weeks away. thank you. today should have been a special day for 0livia pratt—korbel — her tenth birthday. tragically, she was murdered in august of last year — shot dead by a drug dealer as he chased a rival who had burst into her home in liverpool. today, 0livia's former schoolmates

will remember her at a special performance garden bearing her name which is formally opened. mairead smyth went to meet some of them. # when i grow up, when i grow up, when i grow up... matilda — this year's school musical in memory of olivia pratt—korbel, who loved the show. bit more specialer cos it's notjust, like, a funny little play that — the school play's like a memory. it's hard not to get l upset when doing it, when you're remembering her. # when i grow up... when i grow up — something 0livia will never do. her former classmates among the cast. she was a good friend to have cos, in year three, when i came to the school, i had no friends. so she became my friend and i remember — i remember her as a really kind person who did something really nice for me. today marks what would have been 0livia's tenth birthday. four schools will come together for a community spirit event — including this choir.

we're very keen to remember her on her birthday. there's not a day goes by whereby somebody doesn't mention 0livia. but everything we've done, we've done in collaboration with 0livia's mum, cheryl, and it's lovely to keep that bond — i think it's nice for her, as well as for us. and this performance garden — 0livia's stage — opens on her birthday. designed with her classmates, and a message from her mum in memory of her little girl. we know she loved performing on stage, having all the ideas. he lived very _ stage, having allthe ideas. he lived very close to 0livia, your sister was her best friend, how tough was it for you when she was killed? it tough was it for you when she was killed? ., , , tough was it for you when she was killed? ., , h. , tough was it for you when she was killed?

every three seconds. hay fever affects around a quarter of adults in the uk, so let's get some advice on how to control the symptoms. gp dr helen walljoins us now. it is, as caroljust said, peak—time or hay fever problems. is this something that people go to their doctor about or do they try to manage it themselves? it doctor about or do they try to manage it themselves? it feels like it has changed _ manage it themselves? it feels like it has changed a _ manage it themselves? it feels like it has changed a bit _ manage it themselves? it feels like it has changed a bit over— manage it themselves? it feels like it has changed a bit over time. i it has changed a bit over time. certainly we definitely see lots of people with hay fever but it is something that can be managed with the advice from, as we said, the nhs website or your local pharmacist, it is perfect for them to discuss with you and manage because most of what is available is available without prescription. there are very few items that we can give for hay fever need a prescription. it is items that we can give for hay fever need a prescription.— need a prescription. it is so tough because it — need a prescription. it is so tough because it will _ need a prescription. it is so tough because it will look _ need a prescription. it is so tough because it will look like _ need a prescription. it is so tough because it will look like this i because it will look like this outside, it is glorious, you want to be out in nature and you find you can't be, so staying inside isn't

really an option, is it? what can you be doing?— you be doing? that is the first thin if you be doing? that is the first thing if you — you be doing? that is the first thing if you look— you be doing? that is the first thing if you look on _ you be doing? that is the first thing if you look on the i you be doing? that is the first i thing if you look on the website, to avoid the pollen, which is not realistic in these summer days. the next thing is to look at your symptoms because the baseline treatment we would suggest is an antihistamine. hay fever is inflammation in the nose but it don't echo your nose and throat is connected so you get itchy throats, streaming eyes, blocked nose. there are different steps to the treatment. if an antihistamine is not working you can progress onto a nasal steroid sprays and some people get a bit twitchy when we say steroid because of all the connotations but the nasal steroid spray, the ones available, commonly don't generally get absorbed into your system so they don't come with the side effects that normal steroids would. if you use them properly there have been shown to be really effective. the problem is a lot of people don't use them properly, and by that i mean they tend to get the spray and direct it

into the middle of the nose. the advice is to do it in to the outside of the nose with the opposite hand on both sides and not to sniff up straightaway. sat; on both sides and not to sniff up straightaway-— on both sides and not to sniff up straiahtawa . . ., ., ., ., straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray. _ straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray. put — straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray, put it _ straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray, put it in _ straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray, put it in your- straightaway. say that again, go on. get the spray, put it in your nose i get the spray, put it in your nose toward the outer aspect, not the inner aspect, and do that on each side with the opposite hand. when you do it, the first thing you want to do is sniff up. you basically remove it from where it needs to sit to work. so just let it sit, take some swallows rather than sniffing it, and that will help it sit where it, and that will help it sit where it needs to be and work. that it, and that will help it sit where it needs to be and work.- it needs to be and work. that is interesting _ it needs to be and work. that is interesting because _ it needs to be and work. that is interesting because i _ it needs to be and work. that is interesting because i always i it needs to be and work. that is i interesting because i always assumed it was about inhaling it and it easing your airways but this is about it sitting in your nose. essen about it sitting in your nose. even about it sitting in your nose. even a step before _ about it sitting in your nose. even a step before that, _ about it sitting in your nose. even a step before that, if— about it sitting in your nose. even a step before that, if you - about it sitting in your nose. e721 a step before that, if you look on the advice, is maybe even doing some say line washes in the nose can remove the pollen trapped in their —— saline washes. it is insidious, pollen, it can end up on clothes or on your person so if you are out all

day in the pollen count, especially if you have had to work outdoors, come home, stripped off, have a shower, leave it outside, try to avoid drying your washing outside if you are affected because it can cling and they are nice if you are indoors is to keep your windows shut. if you are travelling in your car, as well. shut. if you are travelling in your car. as well-— car, as well. when it comes to decidin: car, as well. when it comes to deciding what _ car, as well. when it comes to deciding what medication i car, as well. when it comes to deciding what medication to i car, as well. when it comes to i deciding what medication to take, a lot of it depends on other types of health problems you might have already because i guess the entry level that you are suggesting is antihistamine, but start with a non—drowsy. antihistamine, but start with a non-drowsy— antihistamine, but start with a non-drowsy.- that - antihistamine, but start with a non—drowsy. yes. that is the non-drowsy. yes. that is the baseline- _ non-drowsy. yes. that is the baseline. start _ non-drowsy. yes. that is the baseline. start with - non-drowsy. yes. that is the baseline. start with a - non-drowsy. yes. that is the i baseline. start with a non-drowsy because when _ baseline. start with a non-drowsy because when i _ baseline. start with a non-drowsy because when i talk _ baseline. start with a non-drowsy because when i talk to _ baseline. start with a non-drowsy because when i talk to patients i baseline. start with a non-drowsy i because when i talk to patients they will often say i don't get drowsy anyway but they have been studies to say that even if you don't feel drowsy, your reaction times are slow so if you are driving or working, doing exams for teenagers, because 15% of teenagers are affected by hay fever does make there has been evidence to say they can even drop in their exams, drop great in their

exams with sedation. stick to the normal ones. the ones you can get in shops are perfectly fine, exactly what you would get on prescription. people often say they are just cheap, but they are cheap. get them from the supermarket, from your local store. from the supermarket, from your localstore. it from the supermarket, from your local store. it is exactly the same, don't be put off because they are cheap. don't be put off because they are chea -. ., ., �* don't be put off because they are chea. ., ., �* ., ., don't be put off because they are chea. ., .,�* ., ., ,, ., ., cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of mone . cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of money- not _ cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of money. not at _ cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of money. not at all, _ cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of money. not at all, brand - cheap. you don't have to spend a lot of money. not at all, brand names l of money. not at all, brand names are often exactly _ of money. not at all, brand names are often exactly the _ of money. not at all, brand names are often exactly the same - of money. not at all, brand names are often exactly the same as i of money. not at all, brand names are often exactly the same as the l are often exactly the same as the individual drug name once. really useful, thank _ individual drug name once. really useful, thank you. _ staying on health... if you were watching at around this time yesterday you might have seen the actor colin filing talking about his prostate cancer. he actor colin filing talking about his prostate cancer.— actor colin filing talking about his prostate cancer. he is on a mission to net prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more — prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more men — prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more men to _ prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more men to get _ prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more men to get tested i prostate cancer. he is on a mission to get more men to get tested and | to get more men to get tested and uses powers of persuasion on the train back to london. this was his tweet yesterday, not wasting a moment. he tweet yesterday, not wasting a moment. . . tweet yesterday, not wasting a moment. , , ., a, . ,, tweet yesterday, not wasting a moment. , , ., . ,, ., moment. he bumped into lee mack who had been taking —

torrential rain causing flooding in golders green. it fell after the hot weekend weather. find out shortly if there's the chance of more of this happening later. london's ultra low emission zone raised more than £220 million last year. over 70 million of it came from fines, when people either didn't, or forgot to pay in time. the details from transport for london come ahead of the controversial expansion of the zone in august, which is likely to raise even more money. tfl says the money, which works out at over £4 million a week, is being used to cover set—up costs for the ulez expansion and for improving the rest of the transport network. there's a big shortage of foster carers in london, so redbrisge borough council is looking to address that. they're encouraging current foster carers to share their experiences of looking after and helping vulnerable children. carers like geraldine who's looked after around a hundred different

children over the years. it's been very challenging, it's been very rewarding and i think the most i've got out of it is knowing so many wonderful young people. when they come into my home, they become part of my family, and emma is here to prove that. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service on the tubes this morning pa rt part from the part closure on the overground. after warm weather and flooding yesterday, the weather now with kate. good morning. it was another warm and quite humid night last night. a little bit of mist out there in places this morning, but burning back. lots of sunshine today. it is a little bit calmer today — fewer showers, if any at all, the wind light. there's lots of sunshine, but it is still going to be hot. the air slightly dry, slightly less humid, but we're still looking at 29

celsius as a maximum temperature. now, overnight tonight, after a warm evening in the sunshine, it is dry and clear. temperatures again widely staying in double figures — ten celsius — perhaps not feeling quite so humid, but still warm overnight. high pressure very much in charge as we head through wednesday, and it's a bit of a repeat performance. lots of sunshine through the morning, perhaps a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud through the afternoon. the wind light and temperatures are still hot — we're looking at a maximum of 28 celsius on wednesday. now, through the rest of this week, you can see things stay fairly similar — no significant rain in the forecast. a little bit more unsettled as we head into next week. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today...

the first public hearings in the landmark inquiry into the government's handling of the covid pandemic begin. dramatic thunderstorms bring torrential downpours and flash flooding to parts of the uk. a bbc investigation reveals the scout association has paid more than £6 million in compensation to children abused by scout leaders in the past ten years. manchester city go down a storm — the pouring rain didn't put off thousands of fans who turned out to celebrate the club's treble—winning season. and a year after manchester arena survivor martin hibbert climbed mount kilimanjaro, he's donating the adapted mountain trike that got him there to someone else with big dreams. it is another hot and humid day ahead. a lot of sunshine. fewer

showers than yesterday except across western scotland and western northern ireland, where we are looking at heavy, thundery downpours. i will have the details later. it's tuesday, the 13th ofjune. our main story. the official inquiry into the government's handling of the covid—19 pandemic will start to hear evidence today from people who lost loved ones to the illness, or suffered with it themselves. the inquiry began last year but today is the first public hearing — with evidence expected to be heard for at least three years. covid has been included on the death certificates of more than 225 thousand people in the uk. with more details, here's our health correspondent catherine burns. the headlines for you at six o'clock this morning. nine dead and more than 400 infected with a mystery new virus in china. for many, this feels like a long time ago. the numbers were relatively small at first, but, within just two months, the impact was becoming clear.

from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. from lockdown to clap for carers, from rising death tolls to the first vaccines, we've lived through several covid milestones. and, this morning, a new one — the start of the next phase of the uk covid—19 public inquiry. in a preliminary hearing last year, the chair was clear about what herjob is. my principal aim is to produce reports and recommendations before another disaster strikes the four nations of the united kingdom and, if it is possible, to reduce the number of deaths, the suffering and the hardship. she'll start today with a film showing the impact of the pandemic. then the focus for the next six weeks will shift to deal with herfirst question — was the uk prepared for this? i think it's really important

that those key questions are addressed about how ready we were, whether we had the right investment, whether we had the right staff in the health service to be resilient enough to respond to a major emergency like that. and, of course, there's lots of questions about the ongoing management of the pandemic that need to be looked at. but it is really important that those questions are not dodged and that those that had to pick up the pieces in the nhs, those people who lost loved ones and family members, know that there's been some accountability and that some of the lessons have been learned so we avoid the same mistakes again in the future. the inquiry will be split into several modules. this first — pandemic preparedness — will hear from about 70 witnesses. then political decisions will come under the spotlight, followed by the impact on the nhs across the uk. the inquiry will then look at vaccines and drugs. modules have been announced, too, on government procurement and social care, but we can expect others later — for example, how this affected education and business. the government says it's committed

to learning from the inquiry�*s findings and will consider all recommendations it makes. but expect a distraction in these early weeks as it goes to court to try to avoid handing over what it says is irrelevant material. inquiry insiders are confident that they will win, though. catherine burns, bbc news. catherine burns joins us now from the inquiry headquarters in central london. will the inquiry proceed. we know this will take a long time. this will the inquiry proceed. we know this will take a long time.- this will take a long time. this is the start of— this will take a long time. this is the start of a _ this will take a long time. this is the start of a long _ this will take a long time. this is the start of a long process. i this will take a long time. this is| the start of a long process. three years of evidence starting today. over the next hours we expect key players to arrive. at 10am, baroness hallet will open. after that, they will play a video we are told will

be emotionally difficult to watch. the impact of the pandemic. the focus will move to pandemic preparedness. tomorrow, the witnesses will start. we will hear from professors of public health, epidemiologists. also civil servants in charge of planning for emergencies. next week we expect to start seeing former prime ministers, health secretaries. they will be asked what did you do to make sure the country was ready for this? a phrase i think we will hear is exercise cygnus, a three day event looking at a possible pandemic that was run. in this scenario they said they were seven weeks into a flu pandemic and how did they handle it? the exercise found it did not think the country was ready for this and there were not enough ventilators.

there are questions about what it did not find. it did not look at what could be done to stop this. these are questions to be asked over the next years because this will take three years. rishi sunak and his predecessor borisjohnson have ramped up their feud over the former prime minister 5 failed attempts to elevate several close allies to the house of lords. mr sunak accused his former boss of asking him to "overrule" the vetting advice on his house of lords nominations. but in a fiery statement, mrjohnson accused the prime minister of "talking rubbish". a man suspected of shooting dead a british schoolgirl in france has tested positive for both alcohol and cannabis, according to the french authorities. eleven—year—old solaine thornton was killed while she and her younger sister played on swings outside the family home in brittany on saturday night. a dutch neighbour, 71—year—old dirk raats, is under arrest. our correspondent hugh schofield reports.

the thorntons from 0ldham had been living contentedly with their two daughters in this peaceful brittany village for four years. but, on saturday, their happiness was shattered. it was at ten o'clock on saturday evening. the girls were playing in the swings over there. the parents were at the barbecue on that bench there, when suddenly, through the hedge on the other side of the play area, shots rang out. 11—year—old solaine thornton was hit. she died in her mother's arms. her parents were also injured, her father seriously. the shots came from this property owned by a 71—year—old dutchman called dirk raats. locals said he was a recluse. translation: we know nothing about him. i i only ever saw him from behind. if you ask me what he looked like, i couldn't tell you because i never saw his face. the local mayor said there had been a dispute going back at least three years, after the dutchman complained about mr thornton clearing his land.

translation: it's a feeling of horror, of shock, because when you hurt children its dramatic. tonight, police said that mr raats and his wife tested positive to alcohol and cannabis. he's been charged with murder. in the village, there's stunned incomprehension. hugh schofield, bbc news, saint—herbot. campaigners and mp5 — including the chair of the commons equalities committee — have called for the uk's abortion laws to be reformed after a woman was jailed for terminating her pregnancy beyond the legal time limit. carla foster was at least 32 weeks pregnant when she obtained the abortion pills by post during lockdown. abortion is legal up to 24 weeks, and the procedure must be carried out in a clinic after 10 weeks. caroline nokes mp told the bbc the law used in the prosecution, which dates back to 1861, was out of date.

the former us president donald trump will appear in court in miami later charged with mishandling national security files. he's accused of 37 counts of unauthorised possession of classified material, obstruction ofjustice and making false statements to law enforcement. north america correspondent nomia iqbal has the details. this is maga territory. donald trump's die—hard supporters are always ready for him. horns blast. chanting: usa! they cheered as he arrived at his resort where he's staying before his court appearance. chanting: we love trump! once inside, he was greeted by surprised guests. yeah, i see him. got him in the frame. he just waved. this is different to his indictment in new york two months ago, where he was charged with breaking state laws. this is a federal case.

the united states of america wants its former commander in chief on trial for allegedly jeopardising national security. we have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone. the department ofjustice says trump held on to hundreds of classified documents — including ones about america's nuclear weapons, and plans on how to retaliate against a foreign attack — and then refused to hand them back when asked. he denies it. the ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponised department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. florida has become a republican stronghold in recent years. but do these piling lawsuits trouble voters? i love him, and then i hate him. but then it's like he's also...a realist, and i'm a realist. if he did something wrong, he will be locked up. prosecutors have brought the case to florida because they want it

to be heard in the place where the alleged crimes happened. it means that donald trump's fate could ultimately be decided by 12 citizens in a state he won twice in the last presidential elections. so how easy will it be to find an impartialjury? you have to find people who may have an opinion, but can set aside their opinion and focus solely on the evidence that's been submitted in the courtroom. could he go to jail? he could. i mean, look, some of these charges carry a statutory maximum of 20 years. the trial of the man running to be president again could extend into the 2024 campaign season and beyond the election. to steal one of trump's lines — america will have never seen anything like it. nomia iqbal, bbc news, miami. tributes have been paid to two children who were killed inside a house in stoke—on—trent.

elizabeth and ethanjohn were seven and 11 years old — their teachers described elizabeth as a "ray of sunshine" and said ethan had an infectious smile. a 49—year—old woman, who was known to the siblings, is being held on suspicion of murder. in the last few minutes, the office for national statistics has just released the latest job figures, which show unemployment fell to 3.8%. total pay had fallen in real terms by 2% and 257,000 working days were lost in april because of labour disputes. storm warnings are in place for northern ireland and scotland today after torrential downpours caused flooding and traffic problems in other parts of the uk. the heavy rain affected roads, flights and even manchester city's victory parade, as vincent mcaviney reports.

after a weekend of sunshine with temperatures topping 30 celsius in parts of the country, it was inevitable storms would follow. in north london, cars had to traverse deep puddles after downpours caused flash flooding. in maidenhead, it was much the same. drivers in hendon had to pause theirjourneys due to poor visibility. and on the m1, cars even had to pass under a waterfall. whoo! over 7,500 lightning strikes were recorded nationwide, with more expected. despite the bad weather causing delays, thousands of manchester city fans lined city—centre streets for the open—top parade celebrating the club's treble. the players, still on a victorious high, seemed unfazed, taking their shirts off as they paraded

their new silverware. for travellers, though, it was less joyous, with thunderstorms in the south of england having cancelled flights on sunday, causing knock—on delays and cancellations on monday due to planes being out of position. tuesday is set to be drier and more settled with large amounts of sunshine. but with yellow warnings in place for much of northern ireland and western scotland from noon till 9pm, we could see more storm disruption. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. it was wild weather in parts. impressive, as long as you were not put out by it and nothing damaged by it. as long as you were inside? as long as you were inside? as long as you were dry, it was impressive. what do we need to know now, what is going to happen next? good morning, what can you tell us. i like the blue sky. that is how

many are starting, with blue skies. there is some cloud and spots of rain but if you haven't stepped outside, it is a humid start. in northern ireland, 16 degrees. scotland, 17 degrees. morecambe already 20 degrees. this is the cloud cover. across scotland producing showers. the same around anglesey. and we have cloud across the south—west. this has produced showers. they will tend to fade. many having a dry day with sunshine. as we go through the day, we will see the cloud bubbling up across western scotland and western parts of northern ireland, especially towards lunchtime. across england and wales, we could see showers. they will be the exception rather than the rule. it is western

northern ireland and western parts of scotland where we are likely to see heavy, thundery downpours, gusty winds and hail. it could lead to localised flooding with up to 30 millimetres in an hour, possibly more if it persists. the temperatures are cooler in the east. the top temperature could be in the southampton area today at 30. the scout association has paid out more than £6 million in compensation to children abused by scout leaders in the past 10 years. an investigation for bbc radio 4's file 0n 4 has found at least 255 cases, with more female victims still coming forward. two women who say they were abused in the late 20005 are launching a campaign today, asking for the scouts to better protect the children in their care, and appealing for other victims to come forward.

they are lucy and sheanna, who join us now along with file 0n 4's hayley hassall. good morning. thank you for coming in. i know it is a difficult subject to talk about so thank you for talking about this today. perhaps you would want to tell what your experience was. i you would want to tell what your experience was.— experience was. i started in the scouts when — experience was. i started in the scouts when i _ experience was. i started in the scouts when i was _ experience was. i started in the scouts when i was 13. _ experience was. i started in the scouts when i was 13. in - experience was. i started in the scouts when i was 13. in the i scouts when i was 13. in the explorers. at first i really enjoyed it. but i met a scout leader who started grooming me and by the time i was 14, we met up outside of scouts and he assaulted me. after awhile he asked me to stay at his house and that went on until i was over 15. that is effectively what happened to me. it is tricky because i enjoyed the scouts. i was in a

ernie sadly passed away. tony says they were the happiest couple you'd ever wish to meet. thank you for sending in your pictures. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. a high—pollution alert has been issued, coupled with an appeal to londoners to not use their cars today. it's only the second time this year an alert has been issued — with high temperatures and build—up of emissions leading to particularly poor air—quality. the mayor of london — on advice from imperial college london forecasters — is urging people to walk, cycle or use public transport instead. the high temperatures also led to this yesterday. torrential rain causing flooding in golders green. it fell after the hot weekend weather. find out shortly if there's the chance of more of this happening later.

london's ultra low emission zone raised more than £220 million last year. over 70 million of it came from fines — when people either didn't, or forgot to pay in time. the details from transport for london come ahead of the controversial expansion of the zone in august, which is likely to raise even more money. tfl says the money — which works out at over £4 million a week — is being used to cover "set—up costs" for the ulez expansion, and for "improving" the rest of the transport network. there's a big shortage of foster carers in london, so redbridge borough council is looking to address that. they're encouraging current foster carers to share their experiences of looking after and helping vulnerable children — carers like geraldine, who's looked after around a hundred different children over the years. it's been very challenging, it's been very rewarding and i think

the most i've got out of it is knowing so many wonderful young people. when they come into my home, they become part of my family, and emma is here to prove that. the minor delays are between elephant and castle and queens park on the bakerloo line. after warm weather and flooding yesterday, the weather now — with kate. good morning. it was another warm and quite humid night last night. a little bit of mist out there in places this morning, but burning back. lots of sunshine today. it is a little bit calmer today — fewer showers, if any at all, the wind light. there's lots of sunshine, but it is still going to be hot. the air slightly dry, slightly less humid, but we're still looking at 29 celsius as a maximum temperature. now, overnight tonight, after a warm evening in the sunshine, it is dry and clear.

temperatures again widely staying in double figures — ten celsius — perhaps not feeling quite so humid, but still warm overnight. high pressure very much in charge as we head through wednesday, and it's a bit of a repeat performance. lots of sunshine through the morning, perhaps a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud through the afternoon. the wind light and temperatures are still hot — we're looking at a maximum of 28 celsius on wednesday. now, through the rest of this week, you can see things stay fairly similar — no significant rain in the forecast. a little bit more unsettled as we head into next week. ferret one week ahead and particularly difficult if you suffer from hay fever. i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. covid—19 has been included on the death ceritifcates of 225,000 people in the uk. today the official covid inquiry

which will assess the government's response to the pandemic will start to hear some of the personal stories of loss and grief behind that huge number. it's a process that's expected to last three years. our community affairs correspondent ashitha nagesh has spoken with some of those bereaved families. for most life has moved on from the pandemic. but this spot along the river thames is a place to remember those who died. dad's heart — it was the first one, but... matt fowler started all of this by painting a single heart in 2021. he drew it for his dad, ian, who died in the first wave of the pandemic. he was 56. although dad was a big part of my life and the centre of my little world, all of these other hearts represent the centre of everybody else's. while still in the thick of grief, matt co—founded a campaign group for families who lost loved ones

to the virus. they called for an inquiry, and now the first public hearing is here. i think that by only speaking to me and listening to my experience, we're going to run the risk of missing out so much detail that other bereaved people have. matt has been asked to address the first part of the inquiry. he'll be speaking on behalf of his group of more than 6,500 people. i've got to try and do everything that i can to represent everybody in, like, a snapshot of time. it's going to be incredibly difficult, but i'm going to have to do the best that i can. the inquiry has maintained that bereaved families will be at the heart of this process. and as part of that promise, recorded testimonies from people who lost loved ones will be played at today's hearing. i do not feel that i am front and centre of this inquiry. i do not feel that i am at the heart of this. i do not. for saleyha ahsan, the inquiry brings back vivid memories of being an intensive care doctor,

and of losing her dad, of being an intensive—care doctor, and of losing her dad. it was horrific — thrashing, fighting for breath. that's what i was witnessing. i witnessed that with my patients, then i was witnessing it with my father. you know, he's a tall man, a well—built man, a dignified man, a retired teacher — six children, all medical. and to see him sort of... yeah. saleyha feels her loss is one of many different experiences of grief, and that the inquiry needs to hear from more of the bereaved. the inquiry has said, although one person is addressing the inquiry on behalf of bereaved families in module one, it's likely that more people will be called as witnesses in later modules. so why not now? i mean, module one sets the scene for the rest of the inquiry.

we are at the start of the journey. that makes no sense to me — absolutely no sense. for rivka gottlieb, who lost her father in april 2020, grief is an essential part of the inquiry. i think other inquiries, | big inquiries have have big inquiries have struggled at the beginning, - as well, with this, and not allowing grief in the inquiry room, as if it's a court of law. and you can't have emotion. actually, grief isn't - an emotion that sways bias. three years of calling for this inquiry to happen, and now it's finally here. how does that feel? it feels really late. it feels like it's taken far, far, far too long. people are still dying of covid. and if you look around, it's like it'sjust not... i it never happened. and i do understand the need for people to move on, i but we need to learn these lessons. for those who've lost loved ones, the pain of the pandemic is still raw. the ink may be fading, but the memories live on. ashitha nagesh, bbc news.

among those bereaved relatives is amanda mcegan. her 19—year—old daughter isabel died of cancer in may 2020, when the uk was under the strictest measures — it meant only a handful of people were able to visit her and attend her funeral. amanda joins us now. alsojoining us emma norris from the institute for government. we all have our own memories of that time butjust take us back, amanda, to those months and what life was like for you. life to those months and what life was like for you-— like for you. life was difficult. as soon as lockdown _ like for you. life was difficult. as soon as lockdown started, i like for you. life was difficult. as soon as lockdown started, we i soon as lockdown started, we immediately went back to the house, my husband, me, isabel, and that was it, just the three of us. at that time we welcomed the covid measures, i'll be honest. we had a 19—year—old with cancer and we were not sure how

long she had. the last thing we wanted was for her to catch covid and for it to take us, so we were happy to follow the rules and stand by them. —— it to take her. it meant that sadly isabel was very isolated, the end came very quickly, it was the end came very quickly, it was the last week or two when we realised she was at end—of—life care and at that point she hadn't seen herfriends, family, even my elder daughter eleanor had not seen her and there was no opportunity for her to speak. sadly the cancer had moved to speak. sadly the cancer had moved to isabel's jaw so she struggled to eat and speak so she was not comfortable using facetime. it was physical isolation but even digital issueis physical isolation but even digital issue is not able to communicate. it really was a very difficult time for all three of us and not the way anybody, never mind a 19—year—old, a vibrant19—year—old, should end their life. vibrant 19-year-old, should end their life. ., ., , .

was disastrous because she thought she would have to go to hospital. at the time, people were alone. the hospice said they would perhaps be able to provide end—of—life care for us but then the decision would have had to be between paul and i, who sits with her and hold her hand while she dies and nobody should lose a child, it's not the right order of things, it is something you never get over but then to make the decision, should she be alone or just one of us, was just... you know, hobson's choice, what can you do? the palliative care luckily allowed her to die at home and i were only happy memories that we were only happy memories that we were with her when she died. emma, there are so — were with her when she died. emma, there are so many _ were with her when she died. emma, there are so many stories _ were with her when she died. emma, there are so many stories of- there are so many stories of isolation, ourfamilies not being able to say goodbye, family is not being able to give their loved one the type of funeral or send off that they perhaps might have wanted to do. that's why this inquiry is so

important, isn't it?— do. that's why this inquiry is so important, isn't it? exactly, this is the first _ important, isn't it? exactly, this is the first opportunity _ important, isn't it? exactly, this is the first opportunity that i important, isn't it? exactly, this is the first opportunity that we l is the first opportunity that we have to look right across the country's experience of the pandemic, experiences like the one amanda has described. experiences in hospitals and the care sector, how the government could make decisions, how prepared we were as a country, to look right across that and say, how did we do as a country, what happened, and what can we learn? we don't know when the next pandemic will take place. it could be 100 years away or just will take place. it could be 100 years away orjust a few will take place. it could be 100 years away or just a few years will take place. it could be 100 years away orjust a few years and this gives us an opportunity to make sure we learn from what happened and make sure we are as prepared as we can be next time. make sure we are as prepared as we can be next time-— make sure we are as prepared as we can be next time. amanda, what would ou hoe can be next time. amanda, what would you hope that — can be next time. amanda, what would you hope that this _ can be next time. amanda, what would you hope that this inquiry _ can be next time. amanda, what would you hope that this inquiry is _ can be next time. amanda, what would you hope that this inquiry is able i you hope that this inquiry is able to look at, deliver, and change? what should be done differently? well, i think what should be done differently? well, ithink it what should be done differently? well, i think it should look at everything and having spoken to emma and done some research myself, the remit is everything, looking at all the different modules to it. i am disappointed it will take so many

years to get through it but i am hopeful that we will find out what went wrong, what we can do to change it, and never be in that position again. as i said, we welcomed those measures when they first came in because we wanted to be safe. i don't actually have any problems with many of the measures that were put in place because i understand it was a once—in—a—lifetime event and that people were trying to deal with something that was unforeseen not just in this country but around the world. but i don't want is for us to ever be in that position again and i think what makes society and community powerful is when they are reflective. it's not something i see much of at the moment in public life and i would hope that this inquiry, this impartial inquiry, will do that for us. it will be reflective on what has happened and it will make sure that we are more prepared in future and that so many mistakes that were made and money that was wasted will not happen again. in

wasted will not happen again. in terms of... some people still are very, very angry about what happened. in terms of the inquiry, what can the inquiry do? will it just be looking at what went wrong, what can we learn? or will someone, you know, have to accept responsibility or blame? fist you know, have to accept responsibility or blame? at the inuui is responsibility or blame? at the inquiry is looking _ responsibility or blame? at the inquiry is looking at _ responsibility or blame? at the inquiry is looking at what i responsibility or blame? gift this: inquiry is looking at what happened and why it happened. the second module after the donor for this one will look at how the ministers go about making decisions, taking science advice? —— about the module after this one. there are limits to after this one. there are limits to a public inquiry�*s powers. they don't hold people criminally responsible. that is not their purpose. if you look at the grenfell inquiry, that similarly cannot apply any. on the back of that it is possible charges will be brought so there is balance and they are looking at what happened and why. as amanda says, this is a big opportunity for reflection, to try

to reflect on what happened, and both at the level of government and also hearing individuals' experiences, a thei system. this is a chance to make sure we reflect on those experiences.— a chance to make sure we reflect on those experiences. emma, amanda, thank ou those experiences. emma, amanda, thank you so — those experiences. emma, amanda, thank you so much. _ those experiences. emma, amanda, thank you so much. amanda, i those experiences. emma, amanda, thank you so much. amanda, thank| those experiences. emma, amanda, i thank you so much. amanda, thank you for sharing your story with us. let's go for the weather with carol. good morning. if you are stepping out and have an allergy to pollen, especially grass pollen, these are the levels you can expect. high or very high more or less across the board and the uv levels, hardly surprisingly, are also high. two things to bear in mind. there are bits of cloud floating round this morning, producing some showers across north—east scotland, moving away from anglesey. through the day we could see a few more developed across parts of southern england, east wales, the midlands, but they really will be the exception rather than the rule and they will not be

as heavy and thundery as yesterday. for much of england and wales, it will be a dry day. the western parts of northern ireland and western scotland, though, we are looking at some torrential downpours. again thundery, gusty winds around them and also some hail. we could have as much as 30 millimetres of rain in an hour, possibly more if the thunderstorms linger in the same place. localised flooding could be an issue. we could hit 30 degrees somewhere around southampton through the course of today. tonight the showers will eventually fade, there will be clear skies, but more low cloud coming in across the south—west and the isles of scilly. a few showers are classified north and it will be another mild night. the male starts tomorrow, a lot of dry weather around. this cloud close to the south coast, we could see some hazy sunshine across south—west england and wales, but it will be another warm day, not as humid. these are our temperatures, 16 in

lowick, 26 in glasgow, about 27 in london. thank you. we could have done with a bit of that nice weather yesterday, couldn't we? brute bit of that nice weather yesterday, couldn't we?— bit of that nice weather yesterday, couldn't we? ~ _, ., , .., , couldn't we? we could have because it definitely did — couldn't we? we could have because it definitely did reign _ couldn't we? we could have because it definitely did reign aren't - it definitely did reign aren't manchester city's operate on the end but here is another cliche, it didn't dampen their spirits. inflatable bananas! i had one of those in my flat balcony this morning. i live next door to manchester city supporters and i opened it up and noticed an inflatable banana. l opened it up and noticed an inflatable banana.— opened it up and noticed an inflatable banana. i love that icture inflatable banana. i love that picture so — inflatable banana. i love that picture so much, _ inflatable banana. i love thatj picture so much, everywhere inflatable banana. i love that i picture so much, everywhere you inflatable banana. i love that - picture so much, everywhere you look tells a different story. it is like spot the ball. they all have a different facial expression. l spot the ball. they all have a different facial expression. i like the different _ different facial expression. i like the different outfits, _ different facial expression. ll age: the different outfits, especially jack grealish who gave us different incarnations from wearing his kit for about 2k hours all the way through to hi viz for about 2k hours all the way through to hi vinack grealish. hasn't had a better 2a hour day and night, we definitely believe in. city celebrating with tens of thousands of their supporters on the

streets of manchester. that incredible treble winning season allowing the champions league win in istanbul on saturday night. our sports editor dan roan reports. the treble winners — manchester city! it was the biggest party the blue half of manchester has ever seen. city's triumphant treble—winning side, along with their silverware, presented on stage at the end of an open—top bus parade. thousands of fans defying the rain to be here. these, the scenes ofjubilation — this, what it meant to be champions of europe for the first time. thank you very much, thank you for all the support during the whole season. it's been incredible and we got three trophies! earlier on, the fans had been made to wait before seeing their heroes — a torrential downpour, along with thunder and lightning, delaying the start of the parade. but that didn't dampen the spirits of the players who'd reigned supreme in istanbul, and had been partying ever since. making their way to the city centre via tram, jack grealish soaking up the atmosphere. later, manager pep guardiola

and his team braving the elements as theirjourney down deansgate — along with the three trophies they've won in an unforgettable campaign — eventually got under way. firmly established as the dominant force in domestic football, city have enjoyed plenty of success in recent years, but nothing quite like this. city, city! for these fans, a chance to share in a piece of footballing history. you know when you get a cake, you've got the icing? well, today, we put the cherry on the top. it's just unbelievable. even now, it still doesn't seem real that we're treble winners. one of the best nights. in manchester's history. forget the reds, it's all about the blues. i these are the images that city fans will never forget, and always cherish. rodri's goal sealing victory over inter milan on a momentous night in istanbul. abu dhabi's sheikh mansour, whose sovereign wealth has transformed his club, atjust his second match in 15 years of ownership.

city finally getting their hands on the trophy they've coveted for so long. and 48 hours later, the celebrations remained in full swing. # glad all over, guardiola! having made their way to st peter's square, these players will have understood the impact their achievements have had. guardiola even finding a way to make light of the conditions. what a parade, what an afternoon. so we had to be the best parade with this rain, otherwise it's not manchester! no sunshine — no, we don't want sunshine! we want rain, rain. so the perfect one. having won the three biggest trophies on offer, city have secured sporting immortality. a close—to—perfect season ending with a celebration to match. dan roan, bbc news, manchester. jack grealish in his hive is at the end. excitement is building ahead of one of sport's great rivalries, the ashes series between england and australia, which starts on friday. ben stokes has promised to stick

to the philosophy his team have had since he came in as captain — to go for big scores, quickly. nothing is going to change because we know that we've had unbelievable success with it. and if we were to change anything that we have done over the last 12 months because we find ourselves in the ashes series, then the last 12 months would be completely pointless. if we play anywhere near the capability of what we can do and we have a good day, then the result�*s probably going to be a win. and if we don't — we don't sort of stick to what we know works for us — then the result�*s going to be a loss. you know, putting results at the bottom is just sort of one thing that i'll keep hammering home and making sure that it's about our process and our mindset before anything else. more of that interview on the tms podcast with the ashes starting on friday. podcast with the ashes starting on frida . . ~' , ., , podcast with the ashes starting on frida . . ~' ,, , . this time last year, martin hibbert was completing his epic trek up mount kilimanjaro — and a team from bbc breakfast was with him every inch of the way. martin and his daughter

eve were both paralysed in the manchester arena attack six years ago, so he tackled the mountain using a specially adapted trike. an astonishing achievement. he's now found a very good use for that trike. before we tell you about it, let's just take a moment to remember his achievement last year. cheering. martin has made it to gilman's point — one of the three official summits at the top of kilimanjaro. goodjob, goodjob, goodjob. there is the briefest celebration, some photos, and then a moment martin will never forget. we've done it, we're at the top of kilimanjaro. sadly, my mum passed away in november, and i know she was immensely proud. i said she was going to be with me, and she has.

so ijust said, when i got to the top of kilimanjaro, i'd spread some ashes, play ourfavourite tune, so i'm going to do that now. so it's the carpenters — for all we know. this is for you, mum. it was a very special moment, and to play that music, as well — which is a very special song between me and my mum... getting emotional now. he sobs. i'm sorry. love you, mum. it really is incredible every time

we watch that bit of video. you saw that kit that helped martin reach the top of kilimanjaro. it's an adapted mountain trike, and he's now donating it to a woman in leeds so she can live out her dreams too, as sally hurst found out. when i reached the summit, i'd onlyjust come out of intensive care five years earlier. life looked, you know, very bleak. it was an amazing feeling, and to do it as a paraplegic — something i will never forget. 12 months ago, martin hibbert — severely injured in the manchester arena bombing — reached the summit of kilimanjaro. thejourney was made possible by a team of supporters, and one very special mountain trike. it's basically, rather than pushing with the wheels, you're pushing with a push—and—pull motion and that puts you forward. so there's, like, a chain on it. it will literally glide over all terrain. so it's an amazing

bit of engineering. now, martin wants to help others reach their goals — and he's giving his trike away to emma cawood from leeds, who won a competition run by the spinal injuries association. i was paralysed three and a half years ago — yeah, just as we went into lockdown. i haven't been able to sort of go out with my family on dog walks. i haven't been able to go with my son, who loves to go mountain biking — to be able tojust go with him. i have had this dream for a while now to go up snowdon, and in this chair it wouldn't be possible. this is going to be life—changing. my world isjust going to open up. it will take time and training to get used to the all—terrain capabilities of the mountain trike. but for emma, new adventures — and snowdon — await. the best bits is how fast it can go, and the places it can go. it was going over rocks and the grass and everything.

it's a bit scary when it brakes fast, because it tips — but i'm now used to it and i know i'm not going to tip out. but it's absolutely brilliant. i love it. sally hurst, bbc news, leeds. what a great thing for him to do. that isjust brilliant, what a great thing for him to do. that is just brilliant, isn't it? parts of the uk had a soaking yesterday but the sun is back out for many of us today — and that means a greater risk of grass and moorland fires, particularly when disposable barbeques are in use. firefighters in cumbria have had a busy few days dealing with the consequences of those barbecues — and they want people to stop using them. alison freeman is in the lake district to tell us more. it might seem like a good idea but it can cause huge problems, can't it? ., ., �* , it can cause huge problems, can't it? ., ., �*, ., it? yeah, that's right. look at it, look at the _ it? yeah, that's right. look at it, look at the weather. _ it? yeah, that's right. look at it, look at the weather. a _ it? yeah, that's right. look at it, look at the weather. a beautiful| look at the weather. a beautiful sunny morning, the fells are looking

the high temperatures also led to this yesterday. torrential rain causing flooding in golders green. it fell after the hot weekend weather. find out shortly if there's the chance of more of this happening later. london's ultra low emission zone raised more than £220 million last year. over 70 million of it came from fines when people either didn't — orforgot — to pay in time. the details from transport for london come ahead of the controversial expansion of the zone in august, which is likely to raise even more money. tfl says the money — the cash is being used to cover set—up costs for the ulez expansion — and for iimproving the transport network. let's take a look at the tubes now — the bakerloo the ba kerloo line the bakerloo line has minor delays. and overground issues at clapham junction. the weather forecast — there might be outbreaks of rain outside london — but nothing like the downpours of yesterday.

feeling hot again as temperatures get up to 29 celsius. that's it — our next update is just before 8.30. good morning welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today. the first public hearings in the landmark inquiry into the government's handling of the covid pandemic begin. dramatic thunderstorms bring torrential downpours and flash flooding to parts of the uk. good morning. when was the last time you used your local launderette? there are just 2000 left in the uk. can they survive as energy bills remain as stubborn as some stains. good morning. england will not change their style. ben stokes says england will be focused on more big hitting when they play australia

when the ashes gets under way on friday. and we'll meet natasha, who has cerebral palsy, and has sailed across the atlantic controlling her boat with her breath. good morning, another warm, good morning, anotherwarm, humid day. fewershowers good morning, anotherwarm, humid day. fewer showers across england and wales than yesterday. in western scotland and western northern ireland, we are looking at heavy, thundery downpours. all the details later. it's tuesday, the 13th ofjune. our main story. the official inquiry into the government's handling of the covid—i9 pandemic will start to hear evidence today from people who lost loved ones to the illness, or suffered with it themselves. the inquiry began last year but today is the first public hearing with evidence expected to be heard for at least three years. covid has been included on the death certificates of more than 225,000 people in the uk. with more details, here's our health correspondent

catherine burns. the headlines for you at six o'clock this morning. nine dead and more than 400 infected with a mystery new virus in china. for many, this feels like a long time ago. the numbers were relatively small at first, but, within just two months, the impact was becoming clear. from this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay at home. from lockdown to clap for carers, from rising death tolls to the first vaccines, we've lived through several covid milestones. and, this morning, a new one — the start of the next phase of the uk covid—i9 public inquiry. in a preliminary hearing last year, the chair was clear about what herjob is. my principal aim is to produce reports and recommendations before another disaster strikes the four nations of the united kingdom and, if it is possible, to reduce the number of deaths,

the suffering and the hardship. she'll start today with a film showing the impact of the pandemic. then the focus for the next six weeks will shift to deal with herfirst question — was the uk prepared for this? i think it's really important that those key questions are addressed about how ready we were, whether we had the right investment, whether we had the right staff in the health service to be resilient enough to respond to a major emergency like that. and, of course, there's lots of questions about the ongoing management of the pandemic that need to be looked at. but it is really important that those questions are not dodged and that those that had to pick up the pieces in the nhs, those people who lost loved ones and family members, know that there's been some accountability and that some of the lessons have been learned so we avoid the same mistakes again in the future. the inquiry will be split into several modules. this first — pandemic preparedness — will hear from about 70 witnesses. then political decisions will come under the spotlight, followed by the impact on the nhs

across the uk. the inquiry will then look at vaccines and drugs. modules have been announced, too, on government procurement and social care, but we can expect others later — for example, how this affected education and business. the government says it's committed to learning from the inquiry�*s findings and will consider all recommendations it makes. but expect a distraction in these early weeks as it goes to court to try to avoid handing over what it says is irrelevant material. inquiry insiders are confident that they will win, though. catherine burns, bbc news. catherine burns joins us now from the inquiry headquarters in central london. you said this could take up to three years. what we expected a? irate you said this could take up to three years. what we expected a? we are at an interesting —

years. what we expected a? we are at an interesting point, _ years. what we expected a? we are at an interesting point, with _ years. what we expected a? we are at an interesting point, withjust- years. what we expected a? we are at an interesting point, with just over - an interesting point, withjust over three years since the start of the pandemic and now at the start of three years of evidence. in the past minutes the chair baroness hallet arrived. you can see behind me families who lost loved ones during the pandemic. some are holding photographs of loved ones. i asked them why it was important to be here. one person said they want people to remember the loss they had and that for them it is not over. these families will be front and centre today because after the chair does her opening statement, a film will be played and the inquiry said it will be difficult to watch, it will be emotional because it looks at the impact of the pandemic. after that, the focus moves to pandemic preparedness. the first question it will try to answer is if the uk was prepared or not.— rishi sunak and his predecessor borisjohnson have escalated their feud over the former prime minister s failed attempts to elevate several

close allies to the house of lords. first, mr sunak claimed his former cabinet colleague had asked him to do something that wasn't right — a claim which mrjohnson dismissed as "rubbish". chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, do we know who is telling the truth? no n0 is the short answer. there are different interpretations of a conversation that took place between borisjohnson and rishi sunak. boris johnson said he was given assurances the people he wanted to give peerages to would get them. rishi sunak has come out quite strongly and said borisjohnson asked me to do things i was not prepared to do and if he does not like it, tough. i was struck byjust how strong rishi sunak was in his response. he has tried to avoid public spats with his

predecessor. something changed yesterday. i think the calculation he made as he can win the battle with boris johnson he made as he can win the battle with borisjohnson standing down from parliament. none of this is comfortable for the conservative party. they are having to face the prospect of another big battle between two big beasts in the party. it is going to be pretty unedifying. it is going to be pretty unedifying. i think the big moment will still be tomorrow when we get the report from the committee looking into whether borisjohnson the committee looking into whether boris johnson misled the committee looking into whether borisjohnson misled parliament. essentially, whether he told mps the truth about parties and social gatherings taking place in downing street during the pandemic. we are expecting that report to be damning of borisjohnson. there are suggestions in the papers this morning it will say he deliberately misled mps. we have not seen the final version and the final words will matter. if borisjohnson gets a

kicking in the report tomorrow, it will make the idea of a political comeback all the harder. a man suspected of shooting dead a british schoolgirl in france has tested positive for both alcohol and cannabis, according to the french authorities. eleven—year—old solaine thornton was killed while she and her younger sister played on swings outside the family home in brittany on saturday night. our correspondent hugh schofield is in the area. explain what we know about the suspect and how this tragic event unfolded. the suspect and how this tragic event unfolded. , , , . ., , suspect and how this tragic event unfolded. , , , . .,, , suspect and how this tragic event unfolded. , , , . ., , , ., unfolded. the suspect has been named dirk raats, 71. _ unfolded. the suspect has been named dirk raats. 71. a _ unfolded. the suspect has been named dirk raats, 71, a dutchman _ unfolded. the suspect has been named dirk raats, 71, a dutchman whose - dirk raats, 71, a dutchman whose nickname was the belgian but he is dutch. he is in custody near here. he has been charged with murder. his wife is out. she faces possible charges of aiding and abetting. dirk

raats was known in the tiny hamlet of saint—herbot as a recluse. we spoke to neighbours who said while the thorntons were a lovely family who helped people and were part of the community, dirk raats and his wife were a virtual recluses. one man said he had only ever seen his back, even though he lived there for — five years. they had two firearms found after the attack and we know on that evening when they were apprehended, they tested positive to cannabis and alcohol. we know the know the circumstances, the children were playing by the swing next to the hedge that separates the properties when out of the blue gunshots were fired from the other side of the hedge killing solaine thornton and injuring her parents. thank you. at least six people have died in a missile attack on ukraine.

it struck an apartment block in a central city, injuring dozens. more may be trapped under the rubble. president zelensky was born in the city. he condemned the attack on his hometown. campaigners and mps — including the chair of the commons equalities committee — have called for the uk's abortion laws to be reformed after a woman was jailed for terminating her pregnancy beyond the legal time limit. carla foster was at least 32 weeks pregnant when she obtained the abortion pills by post during lockdown. abortion is legal up to 2a weeks, and the procedure must be carried out in a clinic after 10 weeks. caroline nokes mp told the bbc the law used in the prosecution, which dates back to 1861, was out of date. storm warnings are in place for northern ireland and scotland today after torrential downpours caused flooding and traffic problems in other parts of the uk. the heavy rain affected roads,

flights and even manchester city's victory parade, as vincent mcaviney reports. after a weekend of sunshine with temperatures topping 30 celsius in parts of the country, it was inevitable storms would follow. in north london, cars had to traverse deep puddles after downpours caused flash flooding. in maidenhead, it was much the same. drivers in hendon had to pause theirjourneys due to poor visibility. and on the mi, cars even had to pass under a waterfall. whoo! over 7,500 lightning strikes were recorded nationwide, with more expected. despite the bad weather causing delays, thousands of manchester city fans lined city—centre streets for the open top parade celebrating the club's treble.

the players, still on a victorious high, seemed unfazed, taking their shirts off as they paraded their new silverware. for travellers, though, it was less joyous, with thunderstorms in the south of england having cancelled flights on sunday, causing knock—on delays and cancellations on monday due to planes being out of position. tuesday is set to be drier and more settled with large amounts of sunshine. but with yellow warnings in place for much of northern ireland and western scotland from noon till 9pm, we could see more storm disruption. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. here's carol. she can tell us what will happen next. look at that. it is gorgeous. look at the blue

skies. from a weather watcher in oxfordshire. many are starting with blue skies. some cloud in north—east scotland where we have had showers and the same across north—west wales and the same across north—west wales and the same across north—west wales and the southwest. a lot of it melting away. most having a dry day with sunshine. just some showers here and there in england and wales. the heaviest in parts of scotland and northern ireland. we could have some really heavy thunderstorms. and a gusty wind and hail mixed in. here there is a risk of local flooding. temperatures are hot and humid. iii temperatures are hot and humid. 1a in lerwick under the cloud. possibly 30 in southampton. overnight, many showers will fade. cloud across the south—west. showers in the north—east. it will be another mild night. tomorrow, high pressure with

us and remain so as we go through the rest of the week. by the time we get to the weekend we start to see a change as low pressure exerts an influence from the atlantic. into the weekend, we will see showers. on wednesday, a lot of dry weather. cloud will build in south—west england and wales through the day, turning the sunshine hazy. you might catch a shower but most will not. temperatures down a little bit. it will feel less humid. 16 in lerwick, 27 in london. thursday, more of the same. a lot of dry weather. some cloud building. turning the sunshine hazy especially in western areas, where we start to feel the effects of the weather front from the atlantic, introducing showers. on

friday, a lot of dry weather and sunshine around but here comes the weather front introducing heavy showers in northern ireland, south—west england, north wales and also western scotland. hardly a breeze in sight. temperatures up to around 27. the outlook, we continue. saturday, dry weather around as low pressure comes in from the atlantic. it will introduce more showers across western and northern areas. temperatures still higher. 15 in the north, 27 in the south. thank you so much. it does look nice. making the most of the summer. crossing the atlantic is no mean feat for any sailor. doing it when you have cerebral palsy and no use of your arms or legs takes that challenge to a whole new level. that's what natasha lambert did.

she made the 3000—mile crossing on a a6—foot catamaran, which she steered using an ingenious method invented by her dad. her story will be featured on bbc one's our lives on friday. let's take a look. when tash was young, we decided to go sailing. natasha just took to it instantly. it wasn't something that we'd ever thought of doing before. it was another world to us. natasha can't use her hands or feet, so her breath control is her only reliable control. so we attempted to make something.

she wanted to go further, - she always wanted to keep going. natasha decided that she wanted to cross the atlantic. we're on our way! whoo! we have no chart—plotters and no radar on. - so it's kind of up to luck now. petrified, yeah. this is not nice. not nice at all. it's pretty terrifying, yeah. yeah. scared. thunder crashes. we're joined now by natasha and her parents, amanda and gary. good morning. natasha, what an incredible achievement. can you believe you have done it? no. how

breakfast is on bbc one until 9.15 today, when it's time for morning live. gethin and gaby can tell us what they've got lined up. what an incredible story that was. good morning. good morning. certainly we were following that intently. well done, natasha. good luck for the exams. rachel. excellent. coming up, alzheimer's disease has a devastating impact on patients and their families' lives. although there's currently no cure, dr xand explains how a new study is offering hope. researchers have found that getting the shingles vaccine could significantly reduce the risk of developing alzheimer's by up to 30%. i'll explain how it works and why it might be the key to preventing the condition. plus, the cost of childcare has soared to around £15,000 a year, forcing one in four parents to quit theirjob or studies to look

after their little ones. we find out what the alternative options are, from time—sharing toddlers to renting a granny. such a great phrase. also today, it's wedding season and love is in the air. solicitor ayesha nayyar tells us why any couple should consider sewing up their finances with a prenup before they tie the knot. plus, they're one of the only foods that hasn't gone up in price over the last year — so when life gives you lemons, chef briony may williams makes lemonade! plus a tangy tagine and zesty white chocolate cookies. lam i am surprised the cookies have survived this long. everybody have their eyes on them, as with this. it's the gripping new bbc drama that's stirring up a lot of emotions. we talk to actor chizzy akudolu about best interests, the series about a family torn apart by a decision no parents would ever want to make. see you at 9:15.

sounds great. here is a question. are you ready for the full monty in around 20 minutes? don't worry — ben's not embarking on a new career. we mean the classic brit—flick which is about to become a disney+ series, starring the original cast and picking up the story 25 years on. we'll speak to one of the original cast — wim snape — at ten to nine. tha nkfully thankfully my clothes will stay on. i do not think i got that memo this morning! time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, i'm asad ahmad. a high—pollution alert has been issued — coupled with an appeal to londoners to not use their cars today. it's only the second time this year an alert has been issued — with high temperatures and build—up of emissions leading to particularly poor air quality.

the mayor of london — on advice from imperial college london forecasters — is urging people to walk, cycle or use public transport instead. the high temperatures also led to this yesterday. torrential rain causing flooding in golders green. it fell after the hot weekend weather. find out shortly if there's the chance of more of this happening later. london's ultra low emission zone raised more than £220 million last year. over 70 million of it came from fines — when people either didn't — orforgot to — pay in time. the details from transport for london come ahead of the controversial expansion of the zone in august — which is likely to raise even more money. tfl says the money — which works out at over £4 million a week — is being used to cover "set—up costs" for the ulez expansion — and for "improving" the rest of the transport network. there's a big shortage of foster carers in london — so redbridge borough council

is looking to address that. they're encouraging current foster carers to share their experiences of looking after and helping vulnerable children — carers like geraldine, who's looked after around a hundred different children over the years. it's been very challenging, it's been very rewarding and i think the most i've got out of it is knowing so many wonderful young people. when they come into my home, they become part of my family, and emma's here to prove that. let's take a look at the travel now. that is the first time we have had a good service on all lines since yesterday morning, i have to say. after warm weather and flooding yesterday, the weather now — with kate. good morning. it was another warm and quite

humid night last night. a little bit of mist out there in places this morning, but burning back. lots of sunshine today. it is a little bit calmer today — fewer showers, if any at all, the wind light. there's lots of sunshine, but it is still going to be hot. the air slightly dry, slightly less humid, but we're still looking at 29 celsius as a maximum temperature. now, overnight tonight, after a warm evening in the sunshine, it is dry and clear. temperatures again widely staying in double figures — ten celsius — perhaps not feeling quite so humid, but still warm overnight. high pressure very much in charge as we head through wednesday, and it's a bit of a repeat performance. lots of sunshine through the morning, perhaps a little bit more in the way of patchy cloud through the afternoon. the wind light and temperatures are still hot — we're looking at a maximum of 28 celsius on wednesday. now, through the rest of this week, you can see things stay fairly similar — no significant rain in the forecast. a little bit more unsettled as we head into next week. doesn't look like any heavy downpours today. that's it for now —

i'm back in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. a couple of lines of breaking news to bring you at this point in the morning. police are reporting what they call a major incident in nottingham city centre. they have cordoned off a number of roads in the centre of the city and they say it is an ongoing serious incident. police officers, other emergency services, now in several locations in the city. ldate services, now in several locations in the city-— services, now in several locations in the city. we know that the tram network in — in the city. we know that the tram network in the _ in the city. we know that the tram network in the city _ in the city. we know that the tram network in the city has _ in the city. we know that the tram network in the city has suspended| network in the city has suspended all services. they are saying due to major police incidents around the city and the suburbs. we know emergency services on maid marion wayjunction, lots of other roads cordoned off. police going on to say there are multiple road closures in place throughout the city while the

..may sound like less hard work... for a long time, launderettes didn't quite wash in britain. more accustomed to the old wash houses, these regulars were livid to learn that they were being replaced! but isn't it sort of much easier work in a launderette? - no! come off it! who wants to... the launderette doesn't - get your washing clean enough. fast forward a few years, and launderettes were in full spin. somewhere to wash laundry, yeah — but also somewhere to socialise, have a brew and a natter, or watch the telly. and by the 19805, the launderette's iconic cultural status was sealed. hands up, who remembers this ad! # i bet you're wondering how i knew... also a setting for an oscar—nominated ground—breaking film, suddenly washing your laundry in public was officially cool. jack crowell of newsweek . calls my beautiful laundrette a sharp, sophisticated, _ funny, sexy, compassionate picture. but as technology moved on, prices for home gadgets came down —

even putting a dampener on dear dot cotton's trade. i don't understand. i didn't say you should open... well, mrarthur, i mean, you know, what could i do? i've got all these good people crying out, "when can we get our washing done?" but i didn't even make the call for the machines to be repaired. no, i did. for some — for now — the trusty launderette remains a vital focal point for the community. how do we get it out, then? but with energy costs remaining as stubborn as some pesky stains, could more launderettes be coming to the end of their cycle? this is perfect — - it's absolutely perfect! excuse me, old chap, my shirt. i'm sorry, so it is. we have come outside to soak up some of the sun on the chorley riviera. and we are talking to the second and third generation of this business. you gave me some numbers before, eye watering numbers about how much more

last energy bill relief scheme. the new scheme is tiny by comparison and we really, the least we expect from government and the regulator is to allow those businesses to blend and extend those contracts. they should be able to at the very least pay over a lot longer time. hmrc have done this. we know the lessons either. ideally what we really want. prioritising the long—term stability over short—term profits. the over short-term profits. the government _ over short-term profits. the government have _ over short—term profits. the government have reminded us that there were lots of support schemes in place over at that covid period, support schemes have onlyjust ended but as prices come down it is whether or not small businesses like this one will be ring fenced enough to cope with those high bills. ben and sally, us are saying you love to put on a big wash. we have used the same launderette in south

nothing about ben stokes. jack. grealish need to have a wash. we will show grealish need to have a wash. - will show him in high viz in a moment but we will start with... your life and need some biological under. i think he has things on his mind. his salvation is continuing. a5 for ben stokes, let's start with the ashes. it gets under way on friday. ben stokes has promised to stick to the philosophy his team have had since he came in as captain — to go for big scores, quickly. he's been speaking to bbc sport's isa guha, who asked him if this series represents england's greatest challenge: the ultimate challenge? no. it's another challenge. you know, we... we know the threat that australia pose — whoever they play against, they're an incredibly good team. but in terms of what we've done, we've found something that works. that's big. it's very big. and stokes gets to 50. you know, that doesn't change with the opposition. what we like to do — and what many other teams will always say —

is that they concentrate on themselves way more than what they do on the opposition. but also respecting the opposition and respecting what they do have. nothing is going to change because we know that we've had unbelievable success with it. and if we were to change anything that we have done over the last 12 months because we find ourselves in the ashes series, then the last 12 months would be completely pointless. so impressive, england. and you have to sit back and admire. the ethos and the mantra of this team has been just about the style that you want to play — and not necessarily results—focused, but what would it mean to win the ashes? before we start playing in the ashes, obviously, we'll do the normal get—together, the normal sort of, "captain, what you got to say?" and all that kind of stuff. and i always go back to like a sort of little list — and at the bottom of the list is results. because if we do everything and stick to everything that we do above that "results" word, then the result look after itself.

you know, not being so result—driven actually is a great way to sort ofjust simplify things and bring it back to ourselves as players and bring it back to ourselves as a team around the way that we want to play. cos if we play anywhere near the capability of what we can do and we have a good day, then the result�*s probably going to be a win. and if we don't — we don't play well and we don't sort of stick to what we know works for us — then the result�*s going to be a loss. so, you know, putting results at the bottom is just sort of one thing that i'll keep hammering home and making sure that it's about our process and our mindset before anything else. make it good fun. that's when you know you're in a good culture and a good environment. just making sure that everything we do is just... there'sjust a good time, you know? whether that be on the field, off the field, the things we do together as a group. every series of players is a great occasion for england. you've got the ashes now, which isjust, you know, another occasion for us. and you've got to have fun in these times because when you're... the day that you finish and the day you retire and you're not able to have this feeling again

of being in the dressing room with the other team—mates, or walking out at lord's, walking out at edgbaston, in front of that crowd at headingley, in front of that crowd — you know, you'll always look back and go, "i wish ijust tried to enjoy it a little bit more." so there's no chance that we're going to have that in particular in this time, because i've got myself and baz making sure that everyone comes in and just makes sure that everything we do is with a smile on our face and we're having a good time on the field and off the field. at full interview on the tms podcast, available on bbc sounds. the manchester city parade, tens of thousands of fans braving torrential rain and thunderstorms to celebrate their team at�*s treble winning season. lightning forced the festivites to be delayed and soaked the hardy souls waiting to see the team make their way through the streets. but the players made their way through town on an open top bus and took to the stage in st peter's square. there is pep guardiola with fist pump. erling haaland with a bit of a

speculation and nothing is confirmed. the sheikh, a manchester united fan and chairman of one of the middle east's biggest banks, he wants to buy 100% of united, whereas sirjim ratcliffe's ineos group are happy to take a controlling stake in excess of 50%, which would allow the glazer family to retain some involvement. that having an effect on the share price overnight. hate that having an effect on the share price overnight.— that having an effect on the share price overnight. we are watching it closel . let's remind you of the breaking news. news that large parts of nottingham city centre are cordoned off this morning. that is after police investigate what they are calling a serious incident. these are the latest pictures we have had from the city. very few details. we don't know what is behind this major incident but it has meant a number of road closures in the city. the public are advised to stay away. you can see these _ public are advised to stay away. gm. can see these maroon uniforms belong to national interagency liaison

her on her birthday. there's not a day goes by whereby somebody doesn't mention olivia. but everything we've done, we've done in collaboration with olivia's mum, cheryl, and it's lovely to keep that bond — i think it's nice for her, as well as for us. and this performance garden — olivia's stage — opens on her birthday. designed with her classmates. we know olivia loved, like, performing on stage and being bright and having all the ideas. logan, you lived very close to olivia — your sister was her best friend — how tough was it for you when she was killed? it was very scary cos ifelt like in my own home it was, like, unsafe. it's just a horrible thing to just think of. but now that we've did all this, hopefully we can all remember her and have happy memories for her. this place reminds me of olivia because all the things she loved — like the stage there — and she loved performing.

and a message from her mum in memory of her little girl. "reaching out, hand in hand, together kindness shines." mairead smyth, bbc news. we will bring you the very latest on the situation in nottingham this morning that we have been talking about for the last half hour or so as soon as we get it, more on that coming up in the next few minutes. when it comes to "brit flicks", the full monty was one of the biggest hits of �*905 cinema. it tells the story of a group of unemployed steel workers, from sheffield, who form a male striptease troupe to make ends meet. it isa it is a good word, troupe. now the original cast have reunited for a disney+ series which picks up the story, more than 25 years on. let's take a look. i know you lot from somewhere.
