6:00 am
but will england's captain be fully fit for the ashes? as ben stokes practises in a knee brace as they prepare to face australia. this is a young girl who has had 65 operations at 1a years old. what life is that? and we get an update from football legend graeme souness who's training to swim the english channel for 14—year—old isla, who is living good morning. today it will be dry, sunny and warm. that is the forecast the next couple of days. isolated shower in the north and the west. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday, the 14th ofjune. our main story. two university students who were fatally stabbed as they walked home
6:01 am
from a night out in nottingham have been named as barnaby webber and grace kumar. they were both 19. a man in his 50s was also stabbed to death and his van was then driven into another group of people, leaving one critically injured. a 31—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murder. our reporterjo black is in nottingham. two teenagers killed with no real understanding as to why. barnaby webber and grace kumar were both students at nottingham university. they died in the attack along with a third man in his 50s. the city mourns together, unable to comprehend what's happened. i've lived here all my life and i've got a connection with the city and ijust... i kind of want to be, i don't know, here with other people my age. vigils have been held
6:02 am
overnight for those killed. right now, our hearts, thoughts, prayers go out to those especially who have lost loved ones. in a statement, nottingham university said it was shocked and devastated and that its thoughts were with those affected. and tributes, too, from barnaby�*s home cricket club in somerset, saying he had been a key part of their club and made such an impact. "his memory will live on," it said. police believe the attacker stabbed the victims before stealing a van which he then drove into three other people. one man is critically ill in hospital while two others are believed to have suffered minor injuries. few details have been released about the suspect other than he was a male west african migrant with a history of mental health issues. police working with counterterror specialists have an open mind about a motive. i'm in regular contact with the chief constable
6:03 am
of nottinghamshire police. but i want to take this opportunity to urge anybody who has any information about this incident to come forward and report it to the police. this is a city whose people are characteristically stoic. but it has been truly shocking and a difficult time for all those now wanting answers. frances read, bbc news. we will be live with our correspondent in nottingham for the latest details from the city. we willjoin her surely. thousands ofjunior doctors across england will start a 72—hour strike this morning, in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. the bma is pressing ahead with the action after rejecting a 5% pay offer. the health secretary steve barclay said the strike will put patient safety at risk and hamper efforts to cut waiting lists. with more details here's our health reporter katharine da costa.
6:04 am
have you seen two people have called in sick for today's shift, which is going to make things extra difficult. tom and matt are both junior doctors working in the emergency department at the royal berkshire hospital in reading. they say staffing is regularly stretched and feel more doctors may consider leaving the nhs unless the issue of pay is properly addressed. the resilience within the system is so low and the staffing levels are so skeletal some of the time, there is very often situations that arise whereby a doctor will call in sick for a night shift and there's no cover available. what that means is then that potentially a large number of wards of patients, maybe up to hundreds of patients, are left without a doctor to cover them. and care is really put injeopardy. one doctor will cover the job of two, maybe even three doctors if there's no contingency plan in place, which very often happens, and that's unsafe. and that's also part of why we're striking — to solve those kind of issues. what do we want?! this will be the third time this
6:05 am
year thatjunior doctors in england have walked out on strike. the bma has rejected a 5% pay offer, arguing that a 35% increase is needed to make up for years of below—inflation pay rises. it's a poor offer. it's an offer that would see pay falling relative to inflation yet again, for the 15th year on the trot. it's not good enough and it does nothing to address the real—terms pay erosion that doctors have faced. so we face no choice but to go back on strike. junior doctors make up around half of all doctors in the nhs and can have anywhere up to eight years�* experience working as a hospital doctor or three years as a gp. but public support for their latest walk—out is mixed. 35% seems an awful amount, an awful lot compared to what everyone else has been happy to settle for.
6:06 am
i appreciate there's challenges with that, but, at the moment, we don't have the money to pay for it as a country. i don't believe in striking. however, i do believe that they should get more wages. and i do believe that both doctors and the nurses should be paid more. seven months of industrial action is taking its toll on hospitals. here at the royal preston in lancashire, 1500 appointments have been postponed ahead of this 72—hour walk—out so that staff can prioritise emergency and critical care. at times when we are extremely busy, i am becoming worried about the cumulative impact on our staff and the impact it's having on our patients. at a time when we're really working hard to recoverfrom the pandemic, to get on top of our waiting lists, to make sure we treat all our cancer patients, having to cancel activity like this is heartbreaking. # just give us fair pay #. for now, there's no sign of a deal
6:07 am
to end the junior doctors' dispute. and now bma members in scotland have announced strike dates next month after rejecting a pay offer from the scottish government. consultants, nurses and radiographers are also voting on industrial action, raising the risk of a summer of strikes. katherine da costa, bbc news. 0ur reporterjon donnison is at university college london hospital. what sort of impact will this strike have? i think it is going to be significant. junior doctors walking out in england and wales injust under an hour. they will not be back at work until saturday morning. with junior doctors making up half of medical staff in the country, it is going to be significant. the last time we had a strike like this was in april. i think almost 200,000
6:08 am
routine appointments were cancelled. it comes at a time when there are already more than 7 million people being affected by nhs waiting lists. health chiefs have tried to mitigate the circumstances by drafting in consultants and paying them over time but we understand they have struggled to get enough people to do that this time. the health secretary has said the pay offer of 5% is fair and reasonable. he called the later strikes disappointing. the truth is junior doctors do not see it as a pay rise. they say for 15 years they have had below inflation pay increases and they see it as pay restoration and say they are 35% down on what they got into thousand eight and they say that is not good enough. the two side seem very far apart. we expect a picket line here
6:09 am
at university college hospital in central london in an hour. the former us president donald trump has addressed supporters in newjersey overnight, just hours after appearing in court to plead not guilty to 37 federal charges relating to his handling of top secret documents. mr trump used his speech to attack the current president, joe biden, repeating previous claims of corruption. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal has this report. chanting: we want trump! it was a spectacle that only donald trump could create. his supporters and critics gathered outside the courthouse. extra police officers are brought in to keep everything in check as his motorcade eventually arrived and he entered the court, becoming the first ever former president to be federally prosecuted in us history. a man who tore up the rulebook now faces the rulebook being thrown at him.
6:10 am
he sat in court as the 37 charges were read out. it's alleged that he kept us government secrets in a shower, bathroom, ballroom and bedroom of his mar—a—lago estate. he pleaded not guilty. 0utside court, his lawyer repeated trump's lines that this was a political witch—hunt. what is being done to the president trump should terrify all citizens of this country. these are not the ideals that our democracy is founded upon. but it's a narrative that works with his supporters as he campaigns to be president again. he immediately showed up at a local cafe where supporters sang happy birthday. he turns 77 on wednesday. even though he is underfederal custody, he is not considered
6:11 am
a flight risk and soon got on a plane to newjersey to make a speech. today, we witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country. a very sad thing to watch. a corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges, of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty. constitutionally, this case does not disqualify donald trump from running for the white house again. he can be both defendant and candidate and, if found guilty, could even potentially be convict and president. nomia iqbal, bbc news, miami. two soldiers have been shot dead and a third was left injured at a military training range in centraljapan. police say they've arrested an 18—year—old military trainee on suspicion of murder. the suspect allegedly turned his rifle on fellow members of japan's self defence force.
6:12 am
there have been no reports of civilian casualties, and officials say the motive of the shooting is still unclear. the head of itv is to face questions from mps today following the departure of the this morning presenter phillip schofield. dame carolyn mccall will be asked about how the broadcaster protects staff?following allegations of a toxic culture and phillip schofield's affair with a much younger and more junior colleague. it comes after itv announced it had launched an external review to establish the facts. borisjohnson has again criticised mps on the privileges committee, who are investigating whether he lied to parliament over lockdown parties at downing street. the report's release was delayed after mrjohnson made a late submission last night, but in a statement he's called for them to publish it and "let the world judge their nonsense". 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. it isa it is a late submission from boris johnson but does it change anything? i am not sure it does. we expected
6:13 am
to get the report today, to finally see those concrete conclusions from mps who think borisjohnson misled parliament. but the late—night letter, three minutes to midnight on monday night, when i suspect most of us were asleep, that has slightly delayed what they are doing, as has apparently some issues with getting the report printed. so it looks like it will now be tomorrow before we get it. borisjohnson has said people should get on with publishing the report, it is time for the world to see what he calls the nonsense from the committee. it all means it has been eked out further, the infighting in the conservative party, tension over the relationship between boris johnson party, tension over the relationship between borisjohnson and rishi sunak is going to play out for a little while longer. all the while, the by—election is expected because
6:14 am
borisjohnson and his ally nigel adams have quit parliament, they will be confirmed today. i expect them to happen in latejuly, probably the 20th. nadine dorries said she is going to quit but she has not yet. another example of how this is going on and on. you has not yet. another example of how this is going on and on.— this is going on and on. you will cover it for _ this is going on and on. you will cover it for us, _ this is going on and on. you will cover it for us, i _ this is going on and on. you will cover it for us, i am _ this is going on and on. you will cover it for us, i am sure. - injust under an hour, we'll get an update on the state of the uk's economy when the monthly gdp figures are announced. nina's here to explain what we might expect. this gives a snapshot of how the economy is faring. it is a measurement of everything we make, buy and sell, gdp grows, it means morejobs and investment, if it does not grow, we worry about reduction in standards of living and recession long—term. it grew for the first quarter of the year but in march in isolation, it shrank
6:15 am
slightly. strikes, the weather, costs continuing to rise, meaning we did not spend as much. we will learn at seven o'clock whether the economy grew. it does give an indicator of the direction of travel. the prediction is slight growth but as we have learned, predictions are often run. the big question is how much it matters to you at home. when we consider prices are still high, wages are still not keeping up and the fact interest rates are set to go the fact interest rates are set to 9° up the fact interest rates are set to go up again with mortgages rising. this is a small part of the picture. the idea that even if the numbers are positive we might not all feel better. tributes are being paid to the acclaimed author cormac mccarthy, who has died aged 89. the us writer was best known for his novels the road and no country for old men, both of which were turned into successful films. the horror author stephen king said
6:16 am
mccarthy was "maybe the greatest american novelist of my time". now the weather with carol. is it going to stay super art? good morning. it is going to stay warm over the next days. we will lose the humidity we have had. if you are just stepping out in northern ireland, temperatures 19. south wales, 18. western scotland, 18. if you move to the east, temperatures slightly lower. the pollen level, high and very high. we are talking grass pollen. uv levels are talking grass pollen. uv levels are higher. a lot of blue sky to start. some cloud along the firth of forth, north—east england and cornwall, but that gives way to
6:17 am
sunshine. we could have showers that are heavy and thundery in north—west scotland. not as frequent as yesterday. with the breeze coming in from the north sea, temperatures here will be lower. but still pleasant. we could see 30 degrees once again somewhere in southern england. through the evening and overnight, clearskies england. through the evening and overnight, clear skies to start. cloud coming in across parts of north—east england, extending towards the midlands. some patchy mist forming. and cooler tonight in wales. any mist lifts rapidly and then a lot of dry weather around. we could see showers developing. in western scotland, for example. they will be fairly isolated. another warm day. feeling cooler along the north sea coastline but tomorrow we could see up to 28 somewhere in the
6:18 am
south—east. thank you. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the attack in nottingham dominates the front pages. the times describes a knifeman's "rampage" through the city and features pictures of two of the victims, the university students barnaby webber and grace kumar. the sun's front page features the same two images of barnaby and grace, along with a photo of the van used to mow down three other people. the paper adds that the killer stole the van from a 54—year—old man, who was also fatally stabbed. the mail's headline reads "horror in nottingham", explaining that police arrested a man on suspicion of murder, who they believe was acting alone but are keeping an open mind on the motive. and one of the most read on bbc news online is what we know so far on the nottingham attack.
6:19 am
you remember yesterday on the programme we got first indications it had happened. you can keep up to date with the latest on this story throughout the day by visiting the bbc news website. we will also be in nottingham ourselves this morning. all roads around schools in wales will have a 20mph speed limit from september, but could the same rule be applied across the rest of the uk? that's what the road safety charity brake wants. 0ur reporter tim muffett is outside a school in rotherham to tell us more. morning, is this likely to happen? the charity brake would certainly like it to. good morning from the primary school here in rotherham, one of 700 in the uk taking part in a kids' walk organised by brake and the idea is to support the
6:20 am
implementation of 20 mph zones outside all schools in the uk. speed limits are a devolved issue so it is down to individual governments. in wales, from september, 20 mph will become the default speed limit in residential areas. become the default speed limit in residentialareas. in become the default speed limit in residential areas. in england, become the default speed limit in residentialareas. in england, it become the default speed limit in residential areas. in england, it is “p residential areas. in england, it is up to local authorities. not everyone supports these zones, even though they are more common. i have been speaking to a campaigner who backs this. she lost her son in a road accident in 2011. she is very keen for lower speed limits to be introduced. he was amazing. gorgeous blue eyes. he walked into a room and he lit it up, he just shone. six—year—old 0wen wightman was hit by a car whilst playing close to his home in wakefield in 2011. somebody came here to alert us of what had happened. obviously, we got to the scene
6:21 am
and were hoping that we could hear him crying and screaming. but when we got there, there was no sound. the car was being driven at 57mph in a 30mph zone. we went to hospital. within 20 minutes, they said, i'm really sorry, but he's gone. his life was onlyjust beginning. the 22—year—old driver didn't stop and later received a five—year prison sentence for causing death by dangerous driving. brake want 20mph zones to be enforced outside all schools in the uk. to you, how important is it that that happens? very important. it's end of school time, it's full of kids. they could be with the parents walking up, but you don't know whether that one child is going to let go of its parent's hand, run straight across the road. so if you are bombing past a school at aomph, that child doesn't stand a chance. 0wen has gone to cross the road, but he'd only put his leg out and they hit his leg.
6:22 am
if that car had hit him at the 20mph, he'd have still been here. last month, it would have been his 18th birthday. so we all had sort of a drink and a toast to 0wen for his 18th. he's never been forgotten. if someone is watching this who regularly drives faster than the speed limit, what's your message to them? just think about if somebody else were driving at that speed and they hit a member of yourfamily. how would you feel, then? i wouldn't want anybody to go through what we went through and what what we are still going through 12 years on. such a stark, powerful reminder of the potential dangers of driving too fast and thank you to joanne for sharing her story. beth, you are a teacher at the school and you would like a 20 mph zone introduced. whig?
6:23 am
like a 20 mph zone introduced. why? we have seen — like a 20 mph zone introduced. why? we have seen through _ like a 20 mph zone introduced. ii we have seen through watching the brake videos that travelling at 30 mph, it takes approximately 23 metres to stop but at 20 mph, 12 metres to stop but at 20 mph, 12 metres to stop but at 20 mph, 12 metres to stop. it means children are safe on the roads when they are coming to and from school.- coming to and from school. today children will— coming to and from school. today children will be _ coming to and from school. today children will be supporting - coming to and from school. today children will be supporting the - children will be supporting the campaign. parents, what do they say? not everyone does believe in 20 mph zones. some people find them annoying and people are driving too slowly. we annoying and people are driving too slowl . ~ . , annoying and people are driving too slowl . ~ ., , ., ., slowly. we are trying to encourage them. it slowly. we are trying to encourage them- it is — slowly. we are trying to encourage them. it is about _ slowly. we are trying to encourage them. it is about keeping - slowly. we are trying to encourage them. it is about keeping roads . slowly. we are trying to encourage| them. it is about keeping roads are clear and save around school. we have done walk to school weeks and tried to encourage parents to park further away so we reduce congestion and make sure children are safe. it comes down to keeping children safe. 20 mph will not change travel time dramatically but it will keep

6:26 am
health agencies have raised concerns about the impact of the warm weather on our hospitals and other medical services. it comes as junior doctors are set to walk out in about half an hour's time for 72 hours in their ongoing dispute over pay. the strike is due to end on saturday morning and is expected to cause significant disruption with some cancellations. it's half of our medical staff, ourjunior doctors. when we sayjunior doctors, we don't mean, you know, straight out of college doctors. we mean very experienced doctors who have been in training for long time, many of whom are ready to be consultants and at the end of postgraduate training. so these are absolutely vital. memorial events are being held across north kensington later as the communuty marks the sixth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. 72 people died as a result of the blaze in 2017. six years on, survivors say they still feel like they're living in limbo with this time of year being particularly tough.
6:27 am
it's always difficult. every anniversary is difficult. at the same time it brings a lot of the community together, a lot of the bereaved, the survivors from the tower together. i do get to see quite a few throughout the year, but this is a special occasion for us. meanwhile, an investigation into a fire at a building in marylebone ysterday is continuing. a small number of firefighters remain at the scene on george street after the roof of a six—storey building under refurbishment and six solar panels caught fire. the blaze is now out and there were no reported injuries. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. and there's severe delays on parts of the central line between leytonstone and woodford. 0therwise there's a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. this dry, warm and sunny spell continues, at least
6:28 am
for the next few days. today again it is going to be another hot day. plenty of sunshine around first thing this morning. we are looking at temperatures getting up to once again around 30 celsius through the afternoon. into this evening and overnight, it's going to stay dry and largely clear so another warm evening in the sunshine. once the sun sets, we could just see a bit of patchy cloud, but largely clear and temperatures dropping down to 10 celsius so staying in double figures tonight. another bright start tomorrow, and the high pressure remains in charge but you can see in the south—west we start to develop this low—pressure system. it is not going to reach us just yet, so for tomorrow another dry, fine and sunny day. temperatures getting up to 27 celsius. there is an outside chance of an isolated light shower tomorrow but fairly unlikely for most of us. as we go through the rest of this week, staying dry and sunny, but as we head into the weekend, perhaps a little change for sunday where we mightjust start to see some showers develop. that's it from me, much more on the bbc news app
6:29 am
and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's go back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. a vigil has been held in nottingham for people to pay their respects to the victims of yestersday�*s knife and van attack. 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace kumar were fatally stabbed, along with a man in his fifties, who has not yet been named. let's take a look at how this major incident unfolded. just after 4am yesterday two young people were found dead by police on ilkeston road in nottingham, following a call from a member of the public. a man in his fifties was also found dead on magdala road. at 5.30am a van believed to have been stolen from the older victim drove at three people on milton street, leaving one
6:30 am
of them critically injured. the van was then stopped on the corner of maples street and bentinck road, where a 31—year—old man was tasered and arrested. the first official announcement came from nottinghamshire police at around 7am, who said emergency services were at an "ongoing serious incident". councillor david mellen is the leader of nottingham city council, he joins us now from the city. councillor david mellen, good morning. 2a hours on from this awful tragedy we are starting to get more details about exactly what happened and the details are no less shocking, are they?- and the details are no less shocking, are they? no, it is a terrible day — shocking, are they? no, it is a terrible day for _ shocking, are they? no, it is a terrible day for nottingham. . shocking, are they? no, it is a i terrible day for nottingham. three people have lost their lives, others are in hospital recovering. and the city is in shock and in morning this morning. city is in shock and in morning this morninu. �* ., ., ~'

6:37 am
it is probably all the things i ever wanted to do in test cricket, i'm going to try and do in these games, it could be dangerous, it could be not so dangerous, we'll see. the partying is overfor those manchester city players selected for international duty, as they linked up with the england squad last night. ahead of matches with malta in two days' time and then north macedonia on monday, both in european championship qualifying for the next major men's tournament. and at the end of a long season which has also seen them play in a world cup, marcus rashford says the schedule needs to change. the players are going to push ourselves to the absolute limits and i did say that it's nothing new, so it's not a complaint or a dig. i'm just giving you my honest opinion, i don't think it's correct. i think we need to be given more time to recover in between certain games.

6:39 am
speaking about the planned merger between the breakaway liv tour and the existing american and european tours. he turned down a lucrative $200 million offer tojoin the saudi arabia backed series and feels let down. it gets to a point where you want to have faith in management, and i want to have faith that this is the best thing for all of us. but it's clear that that is not the consensus. i think the general feeling is that a lot of people feel a bit betrayed. and you might remember the recent italian grand prix was cancelled during the heavy flooding in that region of the country. well, the organisers have made a lovely gesture. they've had all the podium trophies which weren't given out, along with the pole position award, signed by all the drivers on the grid, and then auctioned off, raising more than £2a5,000 to support the communities affected.

6:41 am
you're very much on your own. the thing is, we never left you behind. we waited for you. for the relay team, the cross—channel swim is nowjust days away. it will be the culmination of nine months of training, walking across frozen beaches to enter winter seas. so it may be lumpy, as they call it, today, but the water feels warm. the chat, though, that's still cold. we'll go out a wee bit, not too far out, and then we'll go to the left and see how that is. he's got no clue. i'm sounding like i know what i'm talking about but i know... he said it earlier. he's going to go out somewhere out there. we'll keep an eye on them and then manage to sort of cajole him. tosh, you'll know me because i'm the one at the back. once we get in there, it's every man... every person for himself! since graeme announced the challenge, the response has been extraordinary. everyone involved in debra, the charity that supports families with the genetic disorder epidermolysis bullosa or eb, says the fundraising and just as important, the awareness of the condition has
6:42 am
gone through the roof. the team is inspired by isla, the 1a—year—old girl from inverness who has eb. her story has touched the hearts of many. well done! including graeme's neighbour and fellow football legend harry redknapp. yeah, i think graeme, once he met the little girl isla, he just, you know, he just felt he had to do something for the charity. i mean, the money they're raising, it's just been fantastic. and when you see that little girl and you watch that on the tv and what she's been through, how she copes with it, how stoic she is, she just gets on with it. no complaint. we get a blister on our finger, we moan, and it makes you, it puts it all into perspective. just amazing, really. he understands why graham is so passionate about this course. he understands why graeme is so passionate about this cause. listen, when you see him crying and shedding tears, he's an hard man, it ain't, he's got, you know. but underneath it all, he's a softie, really. like, we all are, you know?
6:43 am
but i'm really proud of what he's done. i think it's fantastic. the sixth member of the team, isla's dad, andy, has been training, not here in dorset, but on his own in scotland. and what means so much to the swimmers and to isla's family is the response from people to their campaign. it's the people reaching out who are, you know, very, very keen to help and give whatever they can. and some of the messages we've got on social media have just been amazing. and i think it's helped the whole eb community because a lot of people in the eb community are now stepping forward and it's given them a platform and a voice to say, "look, i've got this too and i want to help" and that's great. warming up over coffees, they read some of the messages from people who've donated. "moved to tears watching the bbc breakfast the other day. what a courageous and brave little girl." kay latham, 50 quid, "so important to raise funds for this rare and devastating condition. "
6:44 am
you know, there's tens and fives, and they're so important, you know, given where the vast majority of people in this country right now are finding life so difficult, you know, fives and tens and the messages have just been overwhelming. they get it. you know, it's really... what we've done and what we're doing, what we're going to do more of is highlight the people out there that this dreadful disease exists. graeme says the fight against eb and his relationship with isla has changed his life. she said to me, she wakes up... she'll wake up in the middle of the night. this is a 1a—year—old girl who stares at the window for hours. now, she's a bright girl. and, you know, what's she thinking about at four in the morning, staring out into darkness?
6:45 am
this is a young girl who's had 65 operations at 1a years old. what sort of life is that? i get fed up apologising for speaking about her, for being like this, but i'm not apologising this time. she's a unique person. and so they'll swim the channel, a crossing expected to take between 12 and 18 hours. a day that graeme, andy and the rest of the team hope will change or even save lives for years to come. john maguire, bbc news, dorset. if you'd like to support graeme and people, like isla, living with epidermolysis bullosa you can donate via the debra website which is on—screen now.

6:49 am
enjoyed by almost anyone, and it's being used by a growing number of uk prisons to help rehabilitate inmates. the ministry ofjustice says the game teaches prisoners to think before they act, and can help them to find a job when they're released. matt graveling went along to hmp hewell, near redditch, to find out more. it's a game born over 1500 years ago. a blend of risk and reward, strategy and skill. but now it's helping more and more players whose lives are far from black and white. it's good for your mental health. it can be quite a dark place, innit, just behind a door 23 and a half hours a day. but i suppose if you've got something to concentrate on and something like this to come to and focus on, it's a good thing. hmp hewell is home to more than 1000 male inmates. the man in charge was keen to add his prison to a growing list of those playing chess. when the men come into custody, to some extent they've lost everything. so how do you start to rebuild that? and there's no doubt in my mind that
6:50 am
chess can be a part of that. and we've seen so many examples of where the men have just flourished and thrived. ralph, how long has this project been running? so about two years now. we've really seen much more chess happening in the prison. during covid it was one of the activities that we felt the men could do, despite all the restrictions. i find it therapeutic. itjust clears your mind for a bit. obviously have to concentrate on it. it'sjail, innit, you know what i'm saying? i still haven't been sentenced or anything yet. so you do think about like what's going to happen and that. you know what i mean, it's nice to just get away from that. today's teacher is carl portman, who is playing nine men simultaneously. carl volunteers his time playing in a number of prisons. oh, it's a long way to go. i play my best chess when i'm up against it, that's for sure. one uk charity also runs clubs and say they've seen a big rise in demand. chess in schools and communities first began organising regular games forjust two prisons in 2018.
6:51 am
the following year this doubled to four and then became ten in 2020. and while their numbers froze during covid restrictions this year, it has risen again to 16. i started this about ten years ago and i just went to the occasional prison here and there. some people played, some didn't. it's not only blossomed here, but right across the world. there's now a world online prison championship, of which hmp hewell were represented as england. this annual tournament saw prisoners here playing online, taking on inmates in the philippines, mongolia, ecuador and a2 other countries around the world. in total, 85 teams entered, more than double the number of the year before. hmp hewell�*s permission to play was granted by the ministry ofjustice, who say playing chess trains players to think before they act while providing transferable skills that can help

as temperatures remain high across the capital, health officials have raised concerns about the impact of the warm weather on our hospitals and other medical services. it comes as junior doctors are set to walk out for 72 hours in their ongoing dispute over pay. thousands of routine appointments are expected to be postponed as health officials warn of major disruption. the strike involving many expeirenced staff is due to end on saturday it's half of our medical staff, ourjunior doctors. when we sayjunior doctors, we don't mean, you know, straight out of college doctors. we mean very experienced doctors who have been in training for a long time, many of whom are ready to be co nsulta nts. memorial events are being held across north kensington later, as the communuty marks the sixth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. 72 people died as a result of the blaze in 2017. six years on, survivors say they still feel like they're living in limbo, with this time of year being particularly tough. it's always difficult.
6:57 am
every anniversary is difficult. at the same time, it brings a lot of the community together, a lot of the bereaved, the survivors from the tower together. i do get to see quite a few throughout the year, but this is a special occasion for us. meanwhile, an investigation into a fire at a building in marylebone ysterday is continuing. a small number of firefighters remain at the scene on george street after the roof of a six—storey building under refurbishment and six solar panels caught fire. the blaze is now out and there were no reported injuries. let's take a look at how the tubes are running. and there's severe delays on parts of the central line between leytonstone and woodford via newbury park. otherwise there's a good service on all other lines. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. this dry, warm and sunny
6:58 am
spell continues, at least for the next few days. today again it is going to be another hot day. plenty of sunshine around first thing this morning. we are looking at temperatures getting up to once again around 30 celsius through the afternoon. into this evening and overnight, it's going to stay dry and largely clear, so another warm evening in the sunshine. once the sun sets, we could just see a bit of patchy cloud, but largely clear and temperatures dropping down to 10 celsius so staying in double figures tonight. another bright start tomorrow, and the high pressure remains in charge but you can see in the south—west we start to develop this low—pressure system. it is not going to reach us just yet, so for tomorrow another dry, fine and sunny day. temperatures getting up to 27 celsius. there is an outside chance of an isolated light shower tomorrow but fairly unlikely for most of us. as we go through the rest of this week, staying dry and sunny, but as we head into the weekend, perhaps a little change for sunday where we mightjust start to see some showers develop. that's it. i'll be back in half an hour.
6:59 am
more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london across the morning. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today. two of the victims killed in the attacks in nottingham are named as 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace kumar. 2a hours on since those terrible attacks in the city and the people of nottingham are trying to make sense of what happened. junior doctors begin a three—day walk out in england — warning they'll strike throughout summer if the government doesn't budge on its pay offer. swimmers are told to avoid a stretch water off the coast of blackpool after raw sewage was released

into the sea during a storm. which way is the economy moving? so far, the uk has narrowly avoided recesson this year. in the next few minutes, we'll find out whether signs of growth are outrunning rising costs. two days and counting. but will england's captain be fully fit for the ashes? as ben stokes practises in a knee brace as they prepare to face australia. today will be dry, sunny and warm for most. some showers in the north—west could be heavy and thundery. not as humid as the last few days. all the details later. it's wednesday, the 1ath ofjune. our main story. two unversity students who were fatally stabbed as they walked home from a night out in nottingham have been named as barnaby webber and grace kumar. they were both 19.
7:01 am
a man in his 50s was also stabbed to death and his van was then driven into another group of people, leaving one critically injured. a 31—year—old man is being held on suspicion of murder. our reporterjo black is in nottingham. iimagine the i imagine the mood is particularly sombre after the tragic events. it is sombre as you would expect and it is sombre as you would expect and it is quite quiet given the time of mourning but you can see people going about their business, the normal activity in a city centre early in the morning. but people are stunned. it was like that yesterday when people came back into the town. once they started coming back there was still a quiet mood. the cordons have been taken back but there is still one where the series of
7:02 am
attacks started to take place in ilkeston road. flags are at half mast and there was a vigil here last night. two teenagers killed with no real understanding as to why. barnaby webber and grace kumar were both students at nottingham university. they died in the attack along with a third man in his 50s. the city mourns together, unable to comprehend what's happened. i've lived here all my life and i've got a connection with this city and ijust... i kind of want to be, i don't know, here with other people my age. vigils have been held overnight for those killed. right now, our hearts, thoughts, prayers go out to those especially who have lost loved ones. in a statement, nottingham university said it was shocked and devastated and that its thoughts were with those affected.
7:03 am
and tributes, too, from barnaby�*s home cricket club in somerset, saying he had been a key part of their club and made such an impact. "his memory will live on," it said. police believe the attacker stabbed the victims before stealing a van which he then drove into three other people. one man is critically ill in hospital, while two others are believed to have suffered minor injuries. few details have been released about the suspect other than that he was a male west african migrant with a history of mental health issues. police working with counterterror specialists have an open mind about a motive. i'm in regular contact with the chief constable of nottinghamshire police. but i want to take this opportunity to urge anybody who has any information about this incident to come forward and report it to the police. this is a city whose people are characteristically stoic.
7:04 am
but it has been truly shocking and a difficult time for all those now wanting answers. frances read, bbc news. as you saw, the vigil that took place here last night was well attended with around a00. a strong presence from the student community. older people who came, people who are parents and have children who are parents and have children who are a similarage are parents and have children who are a similar age to students he died. and the bishops talked about how the city would pull together, find strength and hope for the future. he talked about the city having a wonderful sense of friendship and bond of community. i think once all the police cordons have come down and investigations concluded, we have to bear in mind the people injured and those who lost their lives and families and friends because their lives have been turned upside down.
7:05 am
the former us president donald trump has addressed supporters in newjersey overnight, just hours after appearing in court to plead not guilty to 37 federal charges relating to his handling of top secret documents. mr trump used his speech to attack the current president, joe biden, repeating previous claims of corruption. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal has this report. chanting: we want trump! it was a spectacle that only donald trump could create. his supporters and critics gathered outside the courthouse. extra police officers are brought in to keep everything in check as his motorcade eventually arrived and he entered the court, becoming the first ever former president to be federally prosecuted in us history. a man who tore up the rulebook now faces the rulebook being thrown at him. he sat in court as the 37 charges were read out. it's alleged that he kept us
7:06 am
government secrets in a shower, bathroom, ballroom and bedroom of his mar—a—lago estate. he pleaded not guilty. outside court, his lawyer repeated trump's lines that this was a political witch—hunt. what is being done to the president trump should terrify all citizens of this country. these are not the ideals that our democracy is founded upon. but it's a narrative that works with his supporters as he campaigns to be president again. he immediately showed up at a local cafe where supporters sang happy birthday. he turns 77 on wednesday. even though he is underfederal custody, he is not considered a flight risk and soon got on a plane to newjersey to make a speech. today, we witnessed the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country.
7:07 am
a very sad thing to watch. a corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges, of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty. constitutionally, this case does not disqualify donald trump from running for the white house again. he can be both defendant and candidate and, if found guilty, could even potentially be convict and president. nomia iqbal, bbc news, miami. two soldiers have been shot dead and a third was left injured at a military training range in centraljapan. police say they've arrested an 18—year—old military trainee on suspicion of murder. the suspect allegedly turned his rifle on fellow members of japan's self defence force. there have been no reports of civilian casualties, and officials say the motive of the shooting is still unclear. the head of itv will face questions from mps today
7:08 am
following the departure of the this morning presenter phillip schofield. dame carolyn mccall will be asked about how the broadcaster protects staff?following allegations of a toxic culture at this morning, and phillip schofield s affair with a much younger and more junior colleague. our media and arts correspondent david sillito reports. i see nothing ahead of me but blackness. for phillp schofield, the lies about a relationship with a much younger member of the this morning team led to him parting company with itv, for whom he has been one of their main stars for more than 20 years. but what about itv? they, too, are facing questions. now, itv has already announced an externally led review into the matter, but mps have some more immediate concerns. if there were any complaints from staff, if there was a whistle—blower, how does itv as a corporation handle an issue like that?
7:09 am
right, deep breath. firstly, are you ok? i hope so. so while holly willoughby has been asking if the viewers are ok, mps have different questions. the head of itv, dame carolyn mccall, will be asked about the scope and nature of its investigation, the broadcaster's workplace culture and just how much power do the stars wield. we know that broadcasting attracts more than its fair share of these kind of gods of television who have an enormous amount of power. there is an imbalance of power, and we want to make sure that our public service broadcasters have the right systems and processes to make sure people's careers cannot be derailed or enhanced by their influence. i will be by your side for ever. however, while this morning may have been attracting headlines, it is far from the only issue facing itv. there are concerns about how it treats people who appear

on its shows and, also, the big long—term question facing all traditional tv channels. we all know that young people have an awful lot of options, they have netflix, disney plus and so on, youtube, so we know that there is this problem of the ageing of the tv audience. is there a toxic work environment at this morning? but the main topic will be this morning. i have always found toxic aubergine. while the editor of the show here was not wanting to discuss the programme's issues on the way to work, itv has said that there will be a full external report on the matter in the months to come. david sillito, bbc news. borisjohnson has again criticised mps on the privileges committee who are investigating whether he lied to parliament over lockdown parties at downing street. the report's release was delayed after mrjohnson made a late
7:11 am
submission last night, but in a statement, he's called for them to publish it and "let the world judge their nonsense", after previously calling them a kangaroo court. in the last few minutes we've had the latest indication of the health of the uk economy. what did the figures tell us? a reminder why we care about gdp. it measures everything we make and do and sell. if it goes up, good news, more money and job. if it comes down, it means the economy is not growing. a reduction in standards of living. in april, the economy grew by 0.2%. a decent bounce back from march at which point we saw it contract slightly. the detail of it is driven by the services industry, bars and pubs and restaurants, and car sales had a decent bounce back. not a great month for production, construction. house sales dipped
7:12 am
slightly. when you look at march and april, the ons who pull the figures together, say part of the recovery in april was because march saw teachers on strike which impacted productivity but in april we saw doctors going on strike which had a marginal impact on productivity. this industrial action over the past 12 months is having an impact on things overall. it is important to know this is a rear view mirror shot. it is a few months back. in the last moments we had a statement from the chancellorjeremy hunt who said we have grown the economy. the imf says from 2025 we will grow faster than germany, france, imf says from 2025 we will grow fasterthan germany, france, italy, but high growth means low inflation so we must stick relentlessly to the plan to halve inflation. that is really what matters here. does gdp mattered to people at home? probably not. they care about things costing more and wages not keeping up and

7:14 am
england. the cloud melting away. into the midlands, east anglia, wales, southern england, a similar story. it is a sunny start. cloud across cornwall moving through the morning. as we go through the day and temperatures rise, we could see showers in north—west scotland and some could be heavy and thundery. not as frequent as yesterday. these are the temperatures. cooler where we have the breeze from the north sea but still feeling pleasant. it could reach 13 somewhere in southern areas this afternoon. this evening, sunshine around. overnight, cloud from the north sea across north—east england heading in the direction of the midlands. it will be cooler in northern ireland and wales the last night. tomorrow, a lot of dry weather around. we are looking at

7:16 am
consider leaving the nhs unless the issue of pay is properly addressed. the resilience within the system is so low and the staffing levels are so skeletal some of the time, there are very often situations that arise whereby a doctor will call in sick for a night shift and there's no cover available. what that means is then that potentially a large number of wards of patients, maybe up to hundreds of patients, are left without a doctor to cover them. and care is really put injeopardy. one doctor will cover the job of two, maybe even three doctors if there's no contingency plan in place, which very often happens, and that's unsafe. and that's also part of why we're striking — to solve those kind of issues. what do we want?! this will be the third time this year thatjunior doctors in england have walked out on strike. the bma has rejected a 5% pay offer, arguing that a 35% increase is needed to make up for years of below—inflation pay rises. it's a poor offer.
7:17 am
it's an offer that would see pay falling relative to inflation yet again, for the 15th year on the trot. it's not good enough and it does nothing to address the real—terms pay erosion that doctors have faced. so we face no choice but to go back on strike. junior doctors make up around half of all doctors in the nhs and can have anywhere up to eight years' experience working as a hospital doctor or three years as a gp. but public support for their latest walk—out is mixed. 35% seems an awful amount — an awful lot compared to what everyone else has been happy to settle for. i appreciate there's challenges with that, but, at the moment, we don't have the money to pay for it as a country. i don't believe in striking. however, i do believe that they should get more wages. and i do believe that both doctors and the nurses should be paid more.
7:18 am
seven months of industrial action is taking its toll on hospitals. here at the royal preston in lancashire, 1500 appointments have been postponed ahead of this 72—hour walk—out so that staff can prioritise emergency and critical care. at times when we are extremely busy, i am becoming worried about the cumulative impact on our staff and the impact it's having on our patients. at a time when we're really working hard to recoverfrom the pandemic, to get on top of our waiting lists, to make sure we treat all our cancer patients, having to cancel activity like this is heartbreaking. # just give us fair pay #. for now, there's no sign of a deal to end the junior doctors' dispute. and now bma members in scotland have announced strike dates next month after rejecting a pay offer from the scottish government. consultants, nurses and radiographers are also voting on industrial action, raising the risk of a summer of strikes. katharine da costa, bbc news.
7:19 am
the co—chair of the bma junior doctors committee joins us now. good morning. the strikes go on. talk about what you think is a fair settlement. it seems this is going on and on and patients suffer and doctors say this is essential. how long will it go on for? b, doctors say this is essential. how long will it go on for?— long will it go on for? a fair settlement _ long will it go on for? a fair settlement would _ long will it go on for? a fair settlement would be i long will it go on for? a fair settlement would be fair. long will it go on for? a fair. settlement would be fair parm long will it go on for? fa " settlement would be fair parm sandhu doctors. we have lost more than 26% of pay in real terms in the past 15 years and it did not happen overnight. we are not looking for it to be fixed and reversed overnight but we need to do something to stop doctors leaving. real terms pay cut year—on—year is sending a signal to doctors they are not valued and appreciated and it is driving

7:21 am
it sounds like your position on this might be shifting slightly. we are looking to restore pay but i would say even from the start we were happy to negotiate and work constructively in a way that would work for both parties. the way you would like to work constructively is perhaps to stress you would not want an immediate change but would accept progress over a number of years? find over a number of years? and ultimately — over a number of years? and ultimately that _ over a number of years? and ultimately that would - over a number of years? fific ultimately that would have to over a number of years? e'"ic ultimately that would have to be something acceptable to members but we are seeing doctors paid £1a an hour which is not enough to retain them and we need to do more to keep these highly talented individuals in these highly talented individuals in the workforce. you these highly talented individuals in the workforce.— the workforce. you said the government _ the workforce. you said the government is _ the workforce. you said the government is not - the workforce. you said the| government is not engaging the workforce. you said the i government is not engaging in the workforce. you said the - government is not engaging in good faith. what do you mean by that? and i wonder, this seems like a change in your position. that this would be a phased—in pay rise. have you put that proposal to the government? there are deals that address what
7:22 am
you described. in terms of good faith we entered into negotiations in good faith from our perspective and it seemed the government acted positively to begin with but then talks quickly it became evident they were unproductive when they were unwilling to budge from their offer and address what is happening, doctors leaving because of real terms pay cut after pay cut. you say it is not necessarily _ terms pay cut after pay cut. you say it is not necessarily a _ terms pay cut after pay cut. you say it is not necessarily a new— it is not necessarily a new suggestion. it sounds new to us. what is your sense, if you were to go into negotiations now, that the government might listen to that? i would hope so and i urge them to see what is happening. we have a waiting list of almost 7.5 million patients and people waiting longer to see doctors. ~ . ., , , doctors. waiting longer because the strikes. waiting _ doctors. waiting longer because the strikes. waiting longer— doctors. waiting longer because the strikes. waiting longer because i doctors. waiting longer because the strikes. waiting longer because we | strikes. waiting longer because we do not have _ strikes. waiting longer because we do not have enough _ strikes. waiting longer because we do not have enough staff. - strikes. waiting longer because we do not have enough staff. and i strikes. waiting longer because we do not have enough staff. and the | do not have enough staff. and the royal college of emergency medicine

7:30 am
it's half of our medical staff, ourjunior doctors. when we sayjunior doctors, we don't mean, you know, straight out of college doctors. we mean very experienced doctors who have been in training for a long time, many of whom are ready to be co nsulta nts. memorial events are being held across north kensington later as the communuty marks the sixth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. 72 people died as a result of the blaze in 2017. six years on, survivors say they still feel like they're living in limbo, with this time of year being particularly tough. it's always difficult. every anniversary is difficult. at the same time, it brings a lot of the community together, a lot of the bereaved, the survivors from the tower together. i do get to see quite a few throughout the year, but this is a special
7:31 am
occasion for us. the conservative party are due to give notice for a by—election in uxbridge and south ruislip, after borisjohnson resigned as an mp last week. mrjohnson resigned as conservative mp last friday. it's expected the vote for his west london seat could be held on either the 13th or 20th ofjuly. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. and there's severe delays on parts of the central line between leytonstone and woodford via newbury park. otherwise there's a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. this dry, warm and sunny spell continues, at least for the next few days. today again it is going to be another hot day. plenty of sunshine around first thing this morning. we are looking at temperatures getting up to once again around 30 celsius through the afternoon. into this evening and overnight, it's going to stay dry and largely clear, so another warm
7:32 am
evening in the sunshine. once the sun sets, we could just see a bit of patchy cloud, but largely clear and temperatures dropping down to 10 celsius so staying in double figures tonight. another bright start tomorrow, and the high pressure remains in charge but you can see in the south—west we start to develop this low—pressure system. it is not going to reach us just yet, so for tomorrow another dry, fine and sunny day. temperatures getting up to 27 celsius. there is an outside chance of an isolated light shower tomorrow but fairly unlikely for most of us. as we go through the rest of this week, staying dry and sunny, but as we head into the weekend, perhaps a little change for sunday where we mightjust start to see some showers develop. that's it from me, much more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's go back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast
7:33 am
with sally nugent and ben thompson. a vigil has been held in nottingham for people to pay their respects to the victims of yesterday's knife and van attack. 19—year—old students barnaby webber and grace kumar were fatally stabbed, along with a man in his fifties, who has not yet been named. let's take a look at how this major incident unfolded. just after aam yesterday two young people were found dead by police on ilkeston road in nottingham, following a call from a member of the public. at 5.30am a van believed to have been stolen from the older victim drove at three people on milton street, leaving one of them critically injured. the van was then stopped on the corner of maples street and bentinck road, where a 31—year—old man was tasered and arrested. the first official announcement came from nottinghamshire police at around 7am, who said emergency services were at an "ongoing serious incident".
7:34 am
more details of the victims are emerging. grace was a talented hockey player and this morning england hockey have put out a statement. in a tweet they say they are "deeply saddened" by the news, and that grace was a popular member of the england under—16 and under—18 squads, and their thoughts are with grace's family, friends, team—mates and the whole hockey community at this time. we can speak now to lilian greenwood, the mp for nottingham south. good morning. talking to you under such a desperately _ good morning. talking to you under such a desperately sad _ such a desperately sad circumstances, good morning and thank you for so much for talking to us this morning. first of all, your message to the community, and i imagine students and parents in particular. l imagine students and parents in articular. ~ imagine students and parents in articular. ,, ., , , particular. i think absolutely everyone — particular. i think absolutely everyone is _ particular. i think absolutely everyone is devastated - particular. i think absolutely everyone is devastated that |

to work here at our hospitals as well. we want people to feel that nottingham is a place where they want to come and be and live in and stay in, and obviously, talking to so many of the people that i know who came here as students and came here here and stayed here, i think we all share that enormous sense of shock and loss. we are a city in mourning but we are also a city that has a proud history of coming together. we will stand together, we will support each other. i know the universities are putting things in place to support students who will understandably be feeling very shocked and very anxious. as a parent myself, my children have gone off to university, ijust can't imagine the feeling of parents who will be really frightened and worried about their children today. you and your fellow mps said in a statement yesterday that the city will heal, and you mentioned that

systems will be in place to support students. how do you support people through this? bath students. how do you support people through this?— through this? both our universities are obviously _ through this? both our universities are obviously putting _ through this? both our universities are obviously putting health i through this? both our universities are obviously putting health and i are obviously putting health and well—being services in place and they have contacted students and offered the opportunity for people to talk. it's really important, this is affecting all of us, of course it is, when something happens that is so shocking on your doorstep, people need the opportunity to be together to talk about how they are feeling. the university are offering those services. nottinghamshire police, nottingham, there is a victim care service who are available for anyone who feels that they need to talk about what has happened. this is really traumatic, and we should recognise that. the university

student union and the university have organised the vigil tonight on campus, there will be another vigil here at the city centre tomorrow on market square. there is an opportunity for people to come together, stand together and support each other, so that our city can recover from what has been an absolutely tragic, senseless, heartbreaking day.— absolutely tragic, senseless, heartbreakin: da . ., , heartbreaking day. lilian greenwood, thank ou heartbreaking day. lilian greenwood, thank you very _ heartbreaking day. lilian greenwood, thank you very much _ heartbreaking day. lilian greenwood, thank you very much indeed. - heartbreaking day. lilian greenwood, thank you very much indeed. those i thank you very much indeed. those images were of i9—year—old barnaby webber and grace kumar who were killed yesterday. it's that time of year again, the in the sport, ashes time.— it's that time of year again, the in the sport, ashes time. yes, starting in two days- — the sport, ashes time. yes, starting in two days. great _ the sport, ashes time. yes, starting in two days. great exchange - the sport, ashes time. yes, starting in two days. great exchange as i the sport, ashes time. yes, starting in two days. great exchange as to i in two days. great exchange as to how moeen _ in two days. great exchange as to how moeen ali _ in two days. great exchange as to how moeen ali was _ in two days. great exchange as to how moeen ali was tempted i in two days. great exchange as to how moeen ali was tempted to i in two days. great exchange as to i how moeen ali was tempted to come out of retirement, with him and ben stokes. but questions about the fitness of ben stokes you have not been able to bowl as much as he had

7:42 am
two days to go until england are back in action which means an end to the four days of partying for the manchester city players who've been selected for the up coming european qualifiers. jack grealish, who was doused in champagne during monday's parade, linked up with the squad at st george's park last night, along withjohn stones, phil foden, kalvin phillips, and kyle walker. do you think he's freshened up? ahead of matches with malta on friday and then north macedonia. you would hope they would have freshened up before they meet the gaffer, gareth southgate! another notable face at that parade is also in european qualifying action this weekend. erling haaland, what a daunting prospect for scotland, who are up against norway in oslo on saturday. he does his partying on the pitch, doesn't he, with all those goals he scored, 52 and counting this season. two more home nations are playing on friday. northern ireland face denmark
7:43 am
and wales take on armenia. andy murray said there were "way more important things than tennis" after the attacks in nottingham, where he's playing his latest event. he beatjoris de loore in straight sets, as he continues his warm—up to wimbledon, but said the incident was "really shocking and obviously heartbreaking for the victims and the people involved". golf's world number twojohn rahm says he feels betrayed over the planned merger between the breakaway liv tour and the existing american and european tours. he was one of the players that stayed loyal to the pga, turning down lucrative deals. his offer to join the saudi arabia backed series was said to be for $200 million. it gets to a point where you want to have faith in management, and i want to have faith that this is the best thing for all of us. but it's clear that
7:44 am
that is not the consensus. i think the general feeling is that a lot of people feel a bit of betrayal. that deal might have been done, but things are still farfrom that deal might have been done, but things are still far from resolved. and a quick mention to neil warnock who, at the age of 7a, holds the record for the most games managed in english football. he's expected to sign a new deal with huddersfield today after keeping them in the championship last season. he's managed 1,619 games, won eight promotions — both records. and we talk about staying power, he's got it, his first job was back in 1987. look at that, experienced hands. his treat, look at that, experienced hands. h 3 great, isn't it? look at that, experienced hands. his great, isn't it? he _ look at that, experienced hands. his great, isn't it? he is, _ look at that, experienced hands. his great, isn't it? he is, and _ look at that, experienced hands. his great, isn't it? he is, and at - look at that, experienced hands. his great, isn't it? he is, and at his- great, isn't it? he is, and at his are still great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able — great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able to _ great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able to do _ great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able to do it, - great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able to do it, still i great, isn't it? he is, and at his age still able to do it, still has. age still able to do it, still has that experience and that is why huddersfield want to keep him. we are staying on a similar feel. someone else who still has a lot of
7:45 am
staying power. still to come on today's programme, we've got an update on the football legend graeme souness and his epic challenge to swim the english channel. it's happening on sunday and graeme was inspired to do it by 1a—year—old isla, who is living with a devastating condition called epidermolysis bullosa. this interview gives you a real sense of why he was inspired to do it and quite how much it means to be able to achieve it. she it and quite how much it means to be able to achieve it.— able to achieve it. she said to me she wakes _ able to achieve it. she said to me she wakes up... _ she will wake up in the middle of the night, — she will wake up in the middle of the night, this is a 14—year—old girl, _ the night, this is a 14—year—old girl, and — the night, this is a 14—year—old girl, and stares out of the window for hours — girl, and stares out of the window for hours. she's a bright girl, and what _ for hours. she's a bright girl, and what she — for hours. she's a bright girl, and what she is— for hours. she's a bright girl, and what she is thinking about at four

7:47 am
good morning! iassume good morning! i assume he is talking about the sea! the isle of wight has and blue skies, not quite as clear there, but under the clear skies, uv levels are going to be high. too bad that in mind. the others —— do bear that in mind. the others —— do bear that in mind. we are at the peak of the grass pollen season so that levels are very high in some areas. we have low cloud around the firth of forth, the cornish coast, tending to melt away and move away. the fair weather cloud bubbling up and showers across the north—west of scotland. heavy and thundery but nowhere near as frequent as they were yesterday.
7:48 am
pegging back images a little bit, feeling very pleasant, 102020 with three degrees. —— pegging back their temperatures. 21—23 . but locally 30 degrees in the south—east. there will be clear skies overnight, but a little bit of cloud coming down towards the midlands. it will be a cooler night tonight in northern ireland and wales compared to last night, but generally we are looking at the nine to 1a degrees as the overnight lows. this low cloud will melt away in the morning quickly and then a lot of sunshine throughout much of the day. as temperatures rise, that could spark some showers across wales, south—west england, northern ireland, possibly the odd isolated one across the east midlands. they will be the exception rather than the rule. still feeling a little bit cooler along the north sea coastline, still temperatures
7:49 am
widely in the mid to high 20s. could see 28 degrees in the prolonged sunshine. into friday, a bit of a change coming our way, low pressure in the atlantic, these attendant fronts pushing into the west, after a sunny side for most of us as temperatures rise, a few showers dotted here and there in western areas. as the weather fronts come in across northern ireland, heavier rain and the risk of some thunderstorms. temperatures during the course of friday are a little bit higher, warmer along the north sea coastline because the wind has subtly changed direction. but widely in the 20s once again. as we head into the weekend, on saturday, we will find the day starts more humid, showers in the west could be sure —— heavy and thundery, fewer in the east but we could catch one anywhere on sunday. temperatures again into
7:50 am
the mid 20s, and then it remains just a little bit unsettled after that. i will say it again, but the gardens need it! , . . , i will say it again, but the gardens need it! , . ., , ., ~ , need it! they certainly do! mine is like the gobi _ need it! they certainly do! mine is like the gobi desert _ need it! they certainly do! mine is like the gobi desert at _ need it! they certainly do! mine is like the gobi desert at the - need it! they certainly do! mine is l like the gobi desert at the moment. that's not true, i have seen your garden and it is gorgeous.- garden and it is gorgeous. bless ou, garden and it is gorgeous. bless you. sally- _ garden and it is gorgeous. bless you. sally. l— garden and it is gorgeous. bless you, sally. i know— garden and it is gorgeous. bless you, sally. i know she _ garden and it is gorgeous. bless you, sally. i know she has i garden and it is gorgeous. bless you, sally. i know she has been| you, sally. i know she has been workin: you, sally. i know she has been working hard — you, sally. i know she has been working hard in _ you, sally. i know she has been working hard in her— you, sally. i know she has been working hard in her garden. i you, sally. i know she has been working hard in her garden. but gardeners will enjoy that range. the rnli says it was called out almost 300 times last year to rescue migrants in the channel. that represents 3% of its total number of call outs. it's the first time the charity has released figures about its operations in an effort to show people the challenges it is facing, saving lives at sea. simonjones has this report. one person not breathing. a mid—channel rescue. these harrowing pictures released by the rnli show the scenes that crew members can face
7:51 am
as they try to save the lives of people desperate to reach the uk in flimsy boats. fortunately here everyone was rescued, but the call—outs have become more regular. i think while men, women and children continue to get in small, unseaworthy rubber boats and make a perilousjourney across one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, there is always a risk of drowning, but the rnli is a charity that seeks to save lives at sea. and whilst anyone could drown, we believe very strongly that no—one should. so what sort of thing are the lifeboat crews facing in the channel? we've had babies thrown at our lifeboats, women screaming, men screaming. so it's a very chaotic situation. but our crews are trained now how to manage that. statistics released for the first time by the rnli show last year, the charity responded to over 9000 call—outs in the uk and ireland. 290 of those were to boats carrying migrants in the channel. the charity says 108 people on those dinghies would have lost their lives if it hadn't intervened. crew members are now routinely
7:52 am
being trained in dealing with mass casualties at sea. this exercise is testing new equipment, which aims to recover people from the water more quickly. that could make the difference between life and death. you can see we've got some lifeguards in the water and they're holding onto yellowjohn buoys. and thereafter, the next challenge was how to get them out the water quickly. and in that respect, we've come up with something we call the sea step. you can see the crew on that now. that allows two crew members to get down to the water level and physically haul people out in a much more efficient way. traditionally, it can take a minute to get each person onto the lifeboat. these sea steps can get more than ten up in the same time. the rnli has faced criticism from some people who say the charity is simply acting as a taxi service for migrants who want to get across the channel. but the rnli says it makes no apology for rescuing people at sea and will come to the aid of anyone in danger. last week, the prime minister visited dover to declare the government's plans to tackle small boat crossings are starting to work.
7:53 am
he said numbers were down by 20% in the first five months of the year compared with the same period last year. but some say the weather has played a major part in this. and on sunday and monday, more than 1,000 people made the crossing. it looks set to be another busy summer ahead for those tasked with saving lives at sea. the rnli says whatever the numbers, it will be ready. simonjones, bbc news on the english channel. wedding cars come in all shapes and sizes these days. you might see a bride arriving in a vintage limousine, a black cab or even a london bus. turning up in a marked police car is usually a bad sign but for a pair of brides from hampshire it was the perfect solution when they broke down on the way to their wedding ceremony near southampton. they've been telling their story to michelle cross. everybody was really happy to be
7:54 am
on the coach together. and we just had this vision of us all traveling in on the coach, all of our close friends and family celebrating and taking selfies with them. we were having a really lovely time up until the point that we broke down. he was like, "oh, no, i think we have a problem." and the coach just started slowing down. so he pulled in and i said to all the guests, the coach is broken. they thought that we were joking. it was about a 40 minute journey and we were only ten minutes into the journey, so we still had quite a way to go. initially, i was extremely panicked, but sian, she's actually a nurse, so she's used to dealing with crisis situations. and you were really cool, calm and collected. and then we've seen that a police car was passing by and one of the bridal parties, one of my good friends, danielle, actually went up to speak to them to ask,
7:55 am
could they give us a lift? and that's when they said yes, and we couldn't quite believe it. and we got into the back of the police car and, yeah, away we went. the police officers were both really professional and just so kind and reassuring. they spoke to us the whole way. they, like, really calmed us down. they were just, just fantastic. everyone did make it, but literally it was just in time. we just want to say a massive thank you to the both of them because without their help and support, we may not have made it. they were so good, calm, reassuring, and professional. you always know that your wedding day will be memorable regardless. ifeel like for us it's going to be additionally memorable for everybody. i have to ask, when it comes to the honeymoon and getting there, have you got a plan b, cand d? we are actually getting a coach there! and funnily enough, they've emailed to say that there's a problem with the coach!

three days of industrial action in their ongoing dispute over pay. thousands of routine appointments are expected to be postponed as health officials warn of major disruption. memorial events will take place in west london today as the communuty marks the sixth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. 72 people died as a result of the blaze in 2017. six years on, some survivors say this time of year being particularly tough. it's always difficult. every anniversary is difficult. at the same time, it brings a lot of the community together, a lot of the bereaved, the survivors from the tower together. i do get to see quite a few throughout the year, but this is a special occasion for us. let's take a look at how the tube is running. severe delays on parts of the central line. the weather. there's little change from yesterday as conditions remain dry, sunny and very hot with a top temptature of 30 degrees.

8:02 am
good morning. 2a hours on and the city still coming to terms with what happened. yes, i think the mood is still very sombre and people are still stunned. it is getting busy around here but can you imagine what was happening 2a—hour is a go? it does not bear thinking about. but now vehicles going past, deliveries are made, normal activity for a city centre. i can see people going to work and to school. if you look around the city there are still a few cordons and flags at the university and theatre royal are at half mast. there was a vigil at the church last night. another is planned later and one tomorrow. two teenagers killed with no real understanding as to why. barnaby webber and grace kumar were both students at nottingham university.
8:03 am
barnaby, a keen sportsman and grace a talented hockey player. they died in the attack along with a third man in his 50s. the city mourns together, unable to comprehend what's happened. i've lived here all my life and i've got a connection with this city and ijust... i kind of want to be, i don't know, here with other people my age. vigils have been held overnight for those killed. right now, our hearts, thoughts, prayers go out to those especially who have lost loved ones. in a statement, nottingham university said it was shocked and devastated and that its thoughts were with those affected. england hockey tweeted, we are deeply saddened by the news of grace's tragic death. and tributes, too, from barnaby�*s home cricket club in somerset, saying he had been a key part
8:04 am
of their club and made such an impact. "his memory will live on," it said. police believe the attacker stabbed the victims before stealing a van which he then drove into three other people. one man is critically ill in hospital, while two others are believed to have suffered minor injuries. few details have been released about the suspect other than he was a male west african migrant with a history of mental health issues. police working with counterterror specialists have an open mind about a motive. i'm in regular contact with the chief constable of nottinghamshire police. but i want to take this opportunity to urge anybody who has any information about this incident to come forward and report it to the police. this is a city whose people are characteristically stoic. but it has been truly shocking and a difficult time for all those now wanting answers.
8:05 am
frances read, bbc news. we understand there will be a vigil at the university this evening and one is planned at the market square tomorrow. there was a vigil here last night with a00 people and a strong presence from the student community but older people who have children the same age as those killed. some remarks from the bishop who talked about how the city will pull together and find strength and hope for in the future and talked about how the city has a sense of friendship and a bond of community. i suppose when the police tape is down and investigations concluded, most people in the city will have in mind the people directly affected, those injured and those who lost their lives, and their friends and family because now their lives have been completely turned upside down.
8:06 am
studio: thanks very much. the family of barnaby webber have paid tribute to him. these are their words. "complete devastation is not enough to describe our pain and loss at the senseless murder of our son." barnaby was a beautiful, bright young man with everything in life to look forward to. a talented and passionate cricketer over the moon to make selection for his university cricket team. at 19 he was at the start of his journey into adulthood and was developing into a wonderful young man. as parents we are enormously proud of everything he achieved and all the plans he made. his brother is bereft beyond belief and at this time we ask for privacy as a family to be allowed time to process and to grieve. those are the
8:07 am
words of the parents of barnaby webber who died yesterday aged 19. paying tribute to their son. thousands ofjunior doctors across england have started a 72—hour strike this morning in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. the bma is pressing ahead with the action after rejecting a 5% pay offer. the health secretary steve barclay said the strike will put patient safety at risk and hamper efforts to cut waiting lists. with more details here's our health reporter katharine da costa. have you seen two people have called in sick for today's shift, which is going to make things extra difficult. tom and matt are both junior doctors working in the emergency department at the royal berkshire hospital in reading. they say staffing is regularly stretched and feel more doctors may consider leaving the nhs unless the issue of pay is properly addressed. the resilience within the system is so low and the staffing levels are so skeletal some of the time, there is very often situations that
8:08 am
arise whereby a doctor will call in sick for a night shift and there's no cover available. what that means is then that potentially a large number of wards of patients, maybe up to hundreds of patients, are left without a doctor to cover them. and care is really put injeopardy. one doctor will cover the job of two, maybe even three doctors if there's no contingency plan in place, which very often happens, and that's unsafe. and that's also part of why we're striking — to solve those kind of issues. chant: what do we want?! this will be the third time this year thatjunior doctors in england have walked out on strike. the bma has rejected a 5% pay offer, arguing that a 35% increase is needed to make up for years of below—inflation pay rises. chanting: pay restoration! it's a poor offer. it's an offer that would see pay falling relative to inflation yet again, for the 15th year on the trot. it's not good enough and it does
8:09 am
nothing to address the real—terms pay erosion that doctors have faced. so we face no choice but to go back on strike. junior doctors make up around half of all doctors in the nhs and can have anywhere up to eight years' experience working as a hospital doctor or three years as a gp. but public support for their latest walk—out is mixed. 35% seems an awful amount, an awful lot compared to what everyone else has been happy to settle for. i appreciate there's challenges with that, but, at the moment, we don't have the money to pay for it as a country. i don't believe in striking. however, i do believe that they should get more wages. and i do believe that both doctors and the nurses should be paid more. seven months of industrial action is taking its toll on hospitals. here at the royal preston in lancashire, 1500 appointments have been postponed ahead of this 72—hour walk—out so that
8:10 am
staff can prioritise emergency and critical care. at times when we are extremely busy, i am becoming worried about the cumulative impact on our staff and the impact it's having on our patients. at a time when we're really working hard to recoverfrom the pandemic, to get on top of our waiting lists, to make sure we treat all our cancer patients, having to cancel activity like this is heartbreaking. # just give us fair pay #. for now, there's no sign of a deal to end the junior doctors' dispute. and now bma members in scotland have announced strike dates next month after rejecting a pay offer from the scottish government. consultants, nurses and radiographers are also voting on industrial action, raising the risk of a summer of strikes. katharine da costa, bbc news. reporterjon donnison is at
8:11 am

8:15 am
pull the numbers together, is the impact of industrial action. in march, part of the reason for contraction was teachers striking which had an impact on productivity. in april, the doctor strike which had less of an impact. but it affects the economy. we are looking backwards to april so a lack of a couple of months. it suggests the direction of travel is strong, but we are lagging behind on growth compared to other developed nations. the chancellor said by 2025 predictions are we will grow more than major economies but he said high growth means low inflation and the aim now is to curb runaway prices. we heard wages are picking up prices. we heard wages are picking up and employers are looking to invest, recruit. for most, the detail is academic when you look at the fact prices are going up, wages are not keeping track and interest

8:18 am
his allies have resigned from parliament. the by—elections are likely to be in latejuly. nadine dorries, she has not resigned yet. the conservative party do not know why. they want her to get on with it. i get the impression she is eating it out and she and boris johnson are quite enjoying causing trouble for the government. here's carol. and news of pollen levels. the pollen levels are high or very high for most of the uk and we are talking about grass pollen. we are at the peak of the season and if you are affected, take whatever you take to alleviate your situation. the other thing high across the board are the uv levels. there is a lot of sunshine today. some cloud will
8:19 am
build up and any low cloud this morning will disperse although over the cornish coast, it will move to the cornish coast, it will move to the isles of scilly. but clear skies across england, wales, northern ireland and most of scotland. we have showers developing as temperatures rise across the north west and some could be thundery but not as frequent as yesterday. a gentle breeze along the north sea. here on the coast, temperatures that bit lower. today, we could reach 30 somewhere in the south—east corner. overnight, clearskies, somewhere in the south—east corner. overnight, clear skies, still the onshore breeze. and then some cloud coming in from the north sea drifting towards the midlands. it is a cooler night in prospect across northern ireland and wales but generally looking at 11—16. tomorrow, cloud will melt away quite
8:20 am
quickly. a lot of dry weather. showers developed as temperatures rise across the south—west, wales. we could see them getting into the east midlands but they will be the exception. a top temperature likely to be around 28 degrees. it's great weather for a dip in the sea. but most of us would probably say a polite no thanks to a 21—mile swim across the english channel. not graeme souness, though. the football legend is just days away from doing exactly that, to raise money for a cause that has become very important to him. graeme announced his challenge here on the breakfast sofa and he invited our reporter john maguire tojoin him at one of his final training swims. the hero shot! having spent decades in football changing rooms, graeme souness is all too familiar with team banter and it's just as well. when that camera goes off, you're very much on your own.
8:21 am
the thing is, we never left you behind. we waited for you. for the relay team, the cross—channel swim is nowjust days away. it will be the culmination of nine months of training, walking across frozen beaches to enter winter seas. so it may be lumpy, as they call it, today, but the water feels warm. the chat, though, that's still cold. we'll go out a wee bit, not too far out, and then we'll go to the left and see how that is. he's got no clue. i'm sounding like i know what i'm talking about but i know... he said it earlier. he's going to go out somewhere out there. we'll keep an eye on him and then manage to sort of cajole him. tosh, you'll know me because i'm the one at the back. once we get in there, it's every man... every person for himself! since graeme announced the challenge, the response has been extraordinary. everyone involved in debra, the charity that supports families with the genetic disorder epidermolysis bullosa or eb,
8:22 am
says the fundraising and, just as important, the awareness of the condition has gone through the roof. the team is inspired by isla, the 1a—year—old girl from inverness who has eb. her story has touched the hearts of many. well done! including graeme's neighbour and fellow football legend harry redknapp. yeah, i think graeme, once he met the little girl isla, he just, you know, he just felt he had to do something for the charity. i mean, the money they're raising, it's just been fantastic. and when you see that little girl and you watch that on the tv and what she's been through, how she copes with it, how stoic she is, she just gets on with it. no complaint. we get a blister on our finger, we moan, and it makes you — it puts it all into perspective. just amazing, really. he understands why graeme is so passionate about this cause. listen, when you see him crying and shedding tears, he's an hard man, it ain't...
8:23 am
he's got, you know. but underneath it all, he's a softie, really. like, we all are, you know? but i'm really proud of what he's done. i think it's fantastic. the sixth member of the team, isla's dad, andy, has been training, not here in dorset, but on his own in scotland. and what means so much to the swimmers and to isla's family is the response from people to their campaign. it's the people reaching out who are, you know, very, very keen to help and give whatever they can. and some of the messages we've got on social media have just been amazing. and i think it's helped the whole eb community because a lot of people in the eb community are now stepping forward and it's given them a platform and a voice to say, "look, i've got this too and i want to help," and that's great. warming up over coffees, they read some of the messages from people who've donated. "moved to tears watching the bbc breakfast the other day. what a courageous and brave little girl." kay latham, 50 quid, "so important
8:24 am
to raise funds for this rare and devastating condition. " you know, those tens and fives in there are so important, you know, given where the vast majority of people in this country right now are finding life so difficult, you know, fives and tens and the messages have just been overwhelming. they get it. you know, it's really... what we've done and what we're doing, what we're going to do more of is highlight to people out there that this dreadful disease exists. graeme says the fight against eb and his relationship with isla has changed his life. she said to me, she wakes up... she'll wake up in the middle of the night. this is a 1a—year—old girl who stares out the window for hours. now, she's a bright girl. and, you know, what's she thinking
8:25 am
about at four in the morning, staring out into darkness? this is a young girl who's had 65 operations at 1a years old. what sort of life is that? i get fed up apologising for speaking about her, for being like this, but i'm not apologising this time. she's a unique person. and so they'll swim the channel, a crossing expected to take between 12 and 18 hours. a day that graeme, andy and the rest of the team hope will change or even save lives for years to come. john maguire, bbc news, dorset. if you'd like to support graeme and people like isla living with epidermolysis bullosa,
8:26 am
you can donate via the debra website, which is on the screen now. what an incredible achievement that will be and you get a sense of why he wants to do it and how much it will mean for those involved. there will be no stopping him. let's hope the weather stays ok. what did he describe it? lumpy. breakfast is on bbc one until 9.15am today, when it's time for morning live. gaby and gethin can tell us what they've got lined up. outside in the sunshine. good morning. we will be out here later. coming up, money is tight. predictions that the bank of england might increase interest rates the 13th time will hit homeowners and renters hard. our cost of living

welsh lgbt history is one of his proudest moments yet. we will see you at 9.15. you need a cup of tea. i am a bit. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. with temperatures set to reach 30 degrees later health agencies have raised concerns about its impact on hospitals and other medical services. it comes as junior doctors start three days of industrial action in their ongoing dispute over pay. earlier this week the ambulance service had its busiest day since the pandemic due to the heat. thousands of routine appointments are expected to be postponed as health officials warn of major disruption. it's half of our medical staff, ourjunior doctors. when we sayjunior doctors, we don't mean, you know, straight out of college doctors.
8:29 am
we mean very experienced doctors who have been in training for a long time, many of whom are ready to be co nsulta nts. memorial events are being held across north kensington later as the communuty marks the sixth anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. 72 people died as a result of the blaze in 2017. six years on, survivors say they still feel like they're living in limbo, with this time of year being particularly tough. it's always difficult. every anniversary is difficult. at the same time, it brings a lot of the community together, a lot of the bereaved, the survivors from the tower together. i do get to see quite a few throughout the year, but this is a special occasion for us. the conservative party are due to give notice for a by—election in uxbridge and south ruislip, after borisjohnson resigned as an mp last week. it's expected the vote for the former prime minister's west london seat could be held on either

the 13th or 20th ofjuly. let's take a look at how the tube is running this morning. and there's severe delays on parts of the central line between leytonstone and woodford via newbury park. otherwise there's a good service on all other lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. this dry, warm and sunny spell continues, at least for the next few days. today again it is going to be another hot day. plenty of sunshine around first thing this morning. we are looking at temperatures getting up to once again around 30 celsius through the afternoon. into this evening and overnight, it's going to stay dry and largely clear, so another warm evening in the sunshine. once the sun sets, we could just see a bit of patchy cloud, but largely clear and temperatures dropping down to 10 celsius so staying in double figures tonight. another bright start tomorrow, and the high pressure remains in charge but you can see in the south—west we start to develop this low—pressure system. it is not going to reach us just
8:31 am
yet, so for tomorrow another dry, fine and sunny day. temperatures getting up to 27 celsius. there is an outside chance of an isolated light shower tomorrow but fairly unlikely for most of us. as we go through the rest of this week, staying dry and sunny, but as we head into the weekend, perhaps a little change for sunday where we mightjust start to see some showers develop. definitely a day for the sun cream and a hat. more on the weather including some great pictures of the capital basking in the sun online. that's it from me for now, regular bulletins on bbc radio london but for now let's go back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. we've been learning more details this morning about the two students who were stabbed to death along with a 5a—year—old man on the streets
8:32 am
of nottingham yesterday. barnaby webber and grace kumar were both 19 and studying at the university of nottingham. they were walking home after a night out when they were attacked, seemingly at random, ataround aam. england hockey has released a statement saying that grace was a popular member of the england under—16 and under—18 squads, and their thoughts are with herfamily, friends, team—mates and the whole hockey community at this time. and in the last half hour, barnaby�*s family have been paying tribute to him in a statement. they say "complete devastation is not enough to describe our pain and loss at the senseless murder of our son. barnaby was a beautiful, brilliant, bright young man, with everything in life to look forward to. a talented and passionate cricketer, who was over the moon to have made selection to his university cricket team.
8:33 am
at 19 he was just at the start of his journey into adulthood and was developing into a wonderful young man. as parents we are enormously proud of everything he achieved and all the plans he had made. his brother is bereft beyond belief, and at this time we ask for privacy as a family to be allowed time to process and grieve. we are so proud to release these photographs, chosen by us as a family, of an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend. more reaction as those tributes will continue to be paid. junior doctors in england have started a 72—hour strike this morning, as part of an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. the health secretary steve barclay has said the move is disappointing.
8:34 am
let's hear now from his opposite number, labour's wes streeting. good morning. good morning, first of all, i am good morning. good morning, first of all, iam moved beyond belief good morning. good morning, first of all, i am moved beyond belief by those words and ijust all, i am moved beyond belief by those words and i just want to say, i am sure, rarely on politics, on behalf of everyone in the house of commons, our heart goes out to the family, barnaby�*s family, and all of those affected by what is an unspeakable, awful situation. we will wait to see what the police investigation turns up, we don't know what the motives are but what possible excuse orjustification can there be for something so horrific? i didn't want to get into the junior doctors dispute without first saying, that was a heartbreaking and moving statement. i saying, that was a heartbreaking and moving statement.— moving statement. i know lots of --eole moving statement. i know lots of people are _ moving statement. i know lots of people are waking _ moving statement. i know lots of people are waking up _ moving statement. i know lots of people are waking up to - moving statement. i know lots of people are waking up to this i moving statement. i know lots of| people are waking up to this story this morning and listening to those words from his family for the first time. you are here to talk about your role and the current situation with the junior doctors strikes. they are suggesting a 35% pay

8:37 am
through kidney cancer myself a couple of years ago, the whole nhs staff in the highest regard, i hold them in that, they saved my life, but we have got to treat them with respect and get them around the table and patients need that because we cannot afford any disruption. the thought of doing this for three days a month into next year is unthinkable and that is why negotiations have got to start without delay. i negotiations have got to start without delay.— negotiations have got to start without dela . ,, ., ., , without delay. i know you are being careful about _ without delay. i know you are being careful about what _ without delay. i know you are being careful about what you _ without delay. i know you are being careful about what you are - without delay. i know you are being careful about what you are saying i careful about what you are saying because you cannot make guarantees. if you are health secretary in 18 months' time, would you, if there is an agreement to build pei back up towards the 2008 levels which is what you are looking for, —— they are looking for, would you support that over three years? you are in that over three years? you are in that chair, it is yourjob to keep its going. that chair, it is your 'ob to keep its anoin. ., that chair, it is your 'ob to keep itsauoin. ., that chair, it is your 'ob to keep its oin. ., ., its going. you can 'udge labour on our record. when i its going. you can judge labour on our record. when we _ its going. you can judge labour on our record. when we were - its going. you can judge labour on our record. when we were last i its going. you can judge labour on our record. when we were last in i our record. when we were last in government to be delivered pay increases year on year because we got the economy growing. that's why keir starmer and rachel reeves our
8:38 am
counsellors constantly talk about economic growth being our number one priority. sometimes it sounds like a very abstract thing, economic growth, people think, what has got to with me? you look at interest rates and prices going up and wages are kept down, it's at the heart of everything. if you get the economy going, anything becomes easier and so that is why it is a priority for labour. if we get the economy going, we can get into investment in public services without hiking taxes. looking at the state of the country and family finances, we cannotjust say, we will put taxes up, people can't afford it. that's why growing the economy is so important.

8:44 am
per hour from september. road safety charity brake wants to see something similar across the rest of the uk — not for all residential roads, but those around schools. our reporter tim muffett is outside a school in rotherham. it's getting busy, the school run kicking off around now? yes, it is peak drop—off time at this primary school in rotherham. some pupils from years five and six with south yorkshire police, they are using bead laser guns, checking the speed of the car is going along here. the road safety charity brake want 20 miles an hour limits to be put in place outside all uk schools. speed limits are devolved issues, it's up to the government of scotland, wales, northern ireland and england to implement them. in wales, the default limit will be 20 miles an hour in all restricted
8:45 am
residential roads from september. in england, it's up to local authorities. many people don't like 20 mile an hour zones, they think they are too slow for traffic. i was speaking to someone who lost their son in a road traffic accident, i spoke to them yesterday and she is very keen for lower speed limits to be put in place. he was amazing. gorgeous blue eyes. he walked into a room and he [it it up, he just shone. six—year—old owen wightman was hit by a car whilst playing close to his home in wakefield in 2011. somebody came here to alert us of what had happened. obviously, we got to the scene and were hoping that we could hear him crying and screaming. but when we got there, there was no sound. the car was being driven at 57mph in a 30mph zone. we went to hospital. within 20 minutes, they said, i'm really sorry, but he's gone.
8:46 am
his life was onlyjust beginning. the 22—year—old driver didn't stop and later received a five—year prison sentence for causing death by dangerous driving. brake want 20mph zones to be enforced outside all schools in the uk. to you, how important is it that that happens? very important. it's end of school time, it's full of kids. they could be with the parents walking up, but you don't know whether that one child is going to let go of its parent's hand, run straight across the road. so if you are bombing past a school at aomph, that child doesn't stand a chance. owen has gone to cross the road, but he'd only put his leg out and they hit his leg. if that car had hit him at the 20mph, he'd have still been here. last month, it would have been his 18th birthday. so we all had sort of a drink and a toast to owen for his 18th. he's never been forgotten.
8:47 am
if someone is watching this who regularly drives faster than the speed limit, what's your message to them? just think about if somebody else were driving at that speed and they hit a member of yourfamily. how would you feel, then? i wouldn't want anybody to go through what we went through and what what we are still going through 12 years on. such a powerful reminder of the potential dangers of speeding. today, 700 schools across the uk are taking part in that campaign, organised by brake, you are the campaign manager, lucy. what do you want to happen, and how realistic to think it is? ~ ., want to happen, and how realistic to think it is? ~ . ., , ., think it is? what we want is for roads around _ think it is? what we want is for roads around schools _ think it is? what we want is for roads around schools to - think it is? what we want is for roads around schools to be - think it is? what we want is for. roads around schools to be safe. think it is? what we want is for - roads around schools to be safe. and we believe the best way to do that is to make them all 20 mile an hour speed limits. we note that travelling at 30 miles an hour, if
8:48 am
you crash at 30 miles an hour, you have twice as much kinetic energy as crushing a 20 miles an hour. the stopping distances are halved as well. how realistic is this? we have seen it happen in london, it is going to happen in rails in residential areas. going to happen in rails in residentialareas. —— in going to happen in rails in residential areas. —— in wales. going to happen in rails in residentialareas. —— in wales. once people see the benefits, they will want to implement it in their areas are. ., y ., want to implement it in their areas are. ., , , z: are. not everyone supports 20 mile an hour zones. _ are. not everyone supports 20 mile an hour zones, some _ are. not everyone supports 20 mile an hour zones, some delivery - are. not everyone supports 20 mile. an hour zones, some delivery drivers an hour zones, some delivery drivers a say it slows down theirjob too much, some minicab drivers say it has a negative effect on their business, what do you say to the doubters? . business, what do you say to the doubters?— business, what do you say to the doubters? . , ., , , ., doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going — doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going at _ doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going at 20 — doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going at 20 miles _ doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going at 20 miles an - doubters? the evidence shows us that actually going at 20 miles an hour - actually going at 20 miles an hour in instead of 30 does not actually get you there much slower. and potentially, the impact if you do have a crash is much less end. surely that is the most important thing, more important than anything else. if we can reduce the amount of deaths on the road by going a little bit slower, and not being that much
