6:01 am
a second vigil will be held in nottingham later to remember the victims of tuesday's attack. the families of the two students killed joined thousands at the university to pay tribute to them yesterday, and urged everyone to look out for each other. police in nottingham are still questioning a 31—year—old man on suspicion of murder. we're joined now by our reporter jo black, who's in nottingham. this is a city shrouded in grief. what is the mood like today ahead of the second video? trier? what is the mood like today ahead of the second video?— the second video? very quiet here in nottingham — the second video? very quiet here in nottingham at _ the second video? very quiet here in nottingham at the _ the second video? very quiet here in nottingham at the moment. - the second video? very quiet here in nottingham at the moment. there . the second video? very quiet here in i nottingham at the moment. there will be a second video later. but yesterday there was a video where i am standing. you can probably see all these floral tributes that people have left. we are obviously learning more about what happened on tuesday. we knew that three people had died. we know more —— know more about these people. how they live, what their plans for the future work, what they loved and who loved them.
6:02 am
a city in grief. yesterday, these students came together in shock to honour two of their own. instead of welcoming them home for the summer holidays, theirfamilies were gathering to mourn. barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar had just completed their first year of studies at the university of nottingham, and were walking home together after a party. i've lost my baby boy and i can't, you know, comprehend how i'm going to do and deal with it, myself and emma, and charlie, and this family and friends... but i know they'll be super touched by everyone that's here. the love that we have out here, ijust wish we had it everywhere. so... look after each other.
6:03 am
that's the big thing, is that... look after your friends. 19—year—old barnaby was a talented cricketer, studying history. grace, alsojust 19, was training to be a doctor. she, too, was a keen cricketer and played hockey for england under 165 and under 185. the attacks third victim was 65— year—old ian coates, who worked in a local school. his son said he was everyone's friend, and just a few months away from retirement. no, he was a lovely gentleman, lovely, lovely gentleman. he's one of them people that will go out of his way to help anyone. and i reckon that's probably what he was trying to do that morning as well. cctv has now emerged of the alleged attacker trying to climb through the open window of a homeless hostel at around 5am. pushed back, he then departs towards
6:04 am
the location where ian coates was stabbed, and his van stolen and used to injure three others. we don't yet have the name of the suspect, but we do know he's originally from west africa, has no criminal record, but does have a history of mental health issues. he's been in the uk for many years, and had settled status, meaning he has permission to stay. police are keeping an open mind as to the motive behind these attacks, but are being assisted in their inquiries by counter—terror police, though this does not mean that it is currently being treated as a terrorist attack. for the victims�* families, questions must abound. but for now, the grief is overwhelming. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. so we knew that barnaby and grace's family would be here yesterday at
6:05 am
the vigil. what we didn't know is that those fathers would take to the podium and speak. you could hear people sobbing as they spoke. as for these floral tributes, they have been coming since that vigil. they were coming right through until the evening. i have seen people this morning and start to read some of these messages. lots of them here. message to barney. can't express the pain all feel. it —— it talks about his infectious smile and how he would be greatly missed. a message to grace. i never would have thought your life would have ended like this. as we say, there is another vigil later today at the old market square. we have talked about how this city, the city of nottingham, will pull together. but i think moving on will take a very long time because there is a lot of pain and a lot of grief. because there is a lot of pain and a lot of grief-— mps investigating whether boris johnson lied to parliament about downing street lockdown parties, will publish their long—awaited report this morning. the former prime minister resigned
6:06 am
on friday after receiving a draft copy, describing the committee as a kangaroo court in his resignation statement. our political correspondent ione wells has this report. the evidence i shall give before this committee shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me god. borisjohnson promising to tell the truth about whether he told the truth. if what ministers tell us is not the truth, we can't do ourjob. this committee has spent months investigating whether he misled mps over what he knew about covid rule breaking in downing street, when he made statements like this. the guidance was followed, and the rules were followed, at all times. i'm here to say to you, hand on heart, that i did not lie to the house. when those statements were made, they were made in good faith and on the basis of what i honestly knew and believed at the time. borisjohnson has repeatedly
6:07 am
denied he misled mps. the committee's report today is expected to say the opposite. at 30,000 words, it will resemble a short book, its contents made public for the first time. for days, mrjohnson has been attempting to seize control of its narrative. after receiving an advanced copy of the report on friday, he resigned as an mp, attacking mps on the committee by accusing them of mounting a witch hunt to drive him out of parliament. last night, another twist. he called on one of the conservative mps on the committee, sir bernard jenkin, to quit, after claims on the guido fawkes website that he attended a drinks gathering for his wife's birthday in december 2020, when indoor mixing was restricted. having contacted all those named in the article, the bbc has not corroborated the claims, nor has sir bernard commented. 0pposition parties have accused him
6:08 am
of using it as a distraction. i sat in parliament and heard boris johnson say repeatedly that no parties had taken place, or that no rules have been broken. and we then saw the evidence with our own eyes, actually — pictures. now, that's what this inquiry is about. and this is a distraction by boris johnson from the central question of whether or not he lied. but mrjohnson, seizing on it to make another public criticism of the committee, suggests his determination to undermine its conclusions is not going anywhere. ione wells, bbc news. we can get more on this story now with our chief political correspondent nick eardley. just a bit of practical stuff and a few implications for us. how does this actually emerge? when do we see it and who publishes it? and if the bigger question is, borisjohnson is no longer an bigger question is, borisjohnson is no longeran mp, bigger question is, borisjohnson is no longer an mp, he is out of politics, effectively, so what could be possible consequence be? i think we will see the _ be possible consequence be? i think we will see the report _ be possible consequence be? i think we will see the report around -
6:09 am
be possible consequence be? i think we will see the report around nine i we will see the report around nine o'clock this morning be published online. we should have some of its contents by the time we go off air on bbc breakfast this morning. i think it is going to be damning. i think it is going to be damning. i think it is going to be damning. i think it is going to be a really difficult read for borisjohnson and his allies. i think it is going to criticise comments he made to parliament and comments he made latterly to the committee, which you heard in the piece. i've been told by some people close to the committee as well there is likely to criticise those mps and members of the house of lords who have criticised the committee's work. suchis criticised the committee's work. such is the level of tension over all of this, that there is going to be a lot of criticism today and it's going to be a really difficult day for a lot of politicians. but in some ways, i think it is also worth just standing back and remembering that faces a really big moment. we have talked bbc breakfast four months, years now, about boris johnson's account of what went on in
6:10 am
downing street during the pandemic, what rules were broken, what parties were held. this is mps delivering their verdict on whether he was truthful to them and by extension was truthful to the public about what went on when that report drops at nine o'clock this morning i think it is going to say no, borisjohnson wasn't truthful about it, and there should be consequences.- wasn't truthful about it, and there should be consequences. thank you very much- — junior doctors in england are continuing their 72 hour strike today, in a dispute over pay and conditions. the bma, which represents doctors and medical students, says a 5% pay offer isn't enough. the health secretary steve barclay said he'd be willing to speak to them if strikes are paused and they move significantly from what he says is their unreasonable position. at least 79 people have died after a crowded boat capsized off the coast of southern greece. more than 100 migrants were rescued from the fishing vessel, that was reportedly en route to italy from libya. 0ur europe correspondent
6:11 am
nick beake reports. the true scale of this disaster is not yet known, but it's clear it's extremely bad. more than 100 people were rescued, but survivors claim up to 700 people were on board the boat when it began to sink. and this was the vessel, packed, in the deepest part of the mediterranean sea. no one seemingly wearing a life jacket. translation: it is indeed a tragic situation, - a very difficult situation, with a very large number of shipwrecked people. a number i think we haven't faced in the past to such an extent. i'm afraid the number of victims will be higher, because the number of people on board was much higher than the capacity that should be allowed for this boat. those aboard are thought to have set out from libya, and were heading for italy. the greek coastguard said they approached the boat, but their offer
6:12 am
of help was rejected. translation: we are shocked. we are shocked like everyone in greece, obviously. after we were informed of this incident, all services were mobilised. the municipality of kalamata, health care, etc. we have prepared. we are hearing that unfortunately the number of dead is increasing. but as greece's president visited the scene, a charity that supports migrants was accusing the greek authorities of knowing about the boat being in distress for hours before going to its aid. the disaster has prompted more calls for a joint effort to reduce the number of crossings. this is yet another example of the need of member states to come together and create orderly, safe pathways for people forced to flee, and for comprehensive action to save lives at sea and reduce perilous journeys. here in greece, a search and rescue operation has gone on
6:13 am
throughout wednesday, but hope of finding more survivors evaporated pretty quickly. more than 70,000 people have reached europe so far this year by boat. and the worry is that, with the weather continuing to be good, and as we reach the height of summer, more people, despite this tragedy, will attempt the treacherous journey. a journey that continues to claim the lives of so many people, desperate to reach europe, believing they'll find a better life. nick beake, bbc news, athens. 14 1a minutes past six. two ospreys which are nesting in the scottish highlands, have welcomed two chicks this month. these are live pictures of the nest at the rspb�*s loch garten nature centre in abernethy. the parents are called asha and brodie, but the chicks
6:14 am
haven't been named yet. that is the mother, the voices in my ear are telling me. you can't actually see the czechs. it is an amazing image in itself. early morning sun. amazing image in itself. early morning sun-— amazing image in itself. early morning sun. she is tidying the nest, morning sun. she is tidying the nest. making — morning sun. she is tidying the nest, making sure _ morning sun. she is tidying the nest, making sure the - morning sun. she is tidying the nest, making sure the home i morning sun. she is tidying the nest, making sure the home is| morning sun. she is tidying the - nest, making sure the home is lovely and need for her babies, but we can't see them yet. maybe they will p0p up can't see them yet. maybe they will pop up later. 0spreys had become extinct in the uk, but thanks to just one breeding pair in loch garten in the 19505, there are now 250 pairs across the uk. what a treat. it is a picture we can go back to throughout the morning. it looks particularly beautiful. the early morning sunshine, which i think a lot of places are sharing?
6:15 am
absolutely right, yes. just down the road from where you have been looking at, where temperatures are three degrees at the moment in boring, five in strathallan, but for most of us if you are just stepping out, they are actually in high single or low double figures. the forecast for today is a dry one, staying very warm, there are some showers around. they will mainly be in the west. we could see a few in the east. they will be very isolated. that is the forecast for the next few days. sunday looks like being the wettest day of the week. as we head through this morning, any mist and fog we have across north—east england and also, will melt away quite quickly. temperatures will rise in the sunshine. that could spark off some showers. they have used it, if you catch one, will be wales and northern ireland. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder. if you see one in the north—west highlands, east midlands and east anglia. these are the temperatures. not as cool a
6:16 am
long north sea coastline as it has been. we could see about 20 down to greece as the top tempter. tonight the daytime showers fight. a lot of clear skies. the daytime showers fight. a lot of clearskies. some the daytime showers fight. a lot of clear skies. some mist factors forming. then we have got a weather front approaching which could bring showers into northern ireland, pembrokeshire and cornwall. temperatures tonight falling away between eight and a0 degrees. into tomorrow, any mist and fog formed overnight, lifting quickly and we have a lot of dry weather. the showers in the west. through northern ireland, wales, the south—west and along this coastline, with the wind having changed direction, it will feel warmer. 2a degrees in hull. 0ff direction, it will feel warmer. 2a degrees in hull. off to 27 or 28. which side of the fence you sit on, are you happy with his whether or is it a bit too much for you? i am loving it now the humidity has dropped. i like high temperatures, but not high humidity. good point. thank you.
6:17 am
he's one of the most secretive and controversial artists in the world, and now banksy is giving people the chance to see some rare artworks in an official solo exhibition — his first for 1a years. the show will run for three months from this weekend at glasgow 5 gallery of modern art, which is where our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is this morning. colin, i cannot imagine that you are in a happier place this morning than there. ,., ., ., , .,, in a happier place this morning than there. ., , .,, , there. good morning. this has been two ears there. good morning. this has been two years in — there. good morning. this has been two years in the _ there. good morning. this has been two years in the planning _ there. good morning. this has been two years in the planning and - there. good morning. this has been two years in the planning and it's i two years in the planning and it's all been kept under wraps until this morning. it will make headlines around the world. and on breakfast we have an exclusive first look around. and so much excitement because it is banksy�*s first solo show for 1a years. it is called 25 years of card labour and it features work from across his career. if you look at this, this is one of the
6:18 am
original stencils are used for his graffiti work. he used stencils because it was a quicker way of doing work and escaping before he got arrested. this was originally in the barbican in 2017. if you come over here, this is running coppers. he has done a lot of work with police over the years. and if you come this way, there is another room i will be showing you around after a quick look back at his career. for 25 years, banksy has been creating guerilla graffiti, using the walls of buildings to make some of britain's best—known art and managing to keep his identity a secret, although it's believed he is around 50 and from bristol. his work often uses stencils — a technique which allows him to create pictures quickly without being caught — and the themes are often both playful and political. animals, children and figures of authority regularly feature.
6:19 am
there have been very few official banksy exhibitions, but in weston—super—mare in 2015, he opened dismaland, a large—scale collaboration with other artists which he termed a bemusement park. one of his most famous works was created in 2018. balloon girl had just been auctioned at sotheby�*s in london for £1 million when an alarm went off inside the frame. cheering. and the picture dropped into a hidden shredder. a malfunction meant the destruction stopped just over half way. banksy declared it was now a new piece of work titled love is in the bin and, three years later, the original buyer sold it for more than 20 times what they paid it. once, when asked to sum up his work, banksy commented, "people say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish — but that's only if it's done properly."
6:20 am
and this show will be featuring work from right across all 25 years of his career. this is a disco ball adapted from a police riot helmet. if you come this way you can see a very famous work. this is called a snowflake. a work which dealt with pollution. that is the stencil that has been used. this has never been seen outside of bethlehem in the west bank. it shows an israeli soldier having a pillow fight with a palestinian civilian. 0ver soldier having a pillow fight with a palestinian civilian. over here, we have got banksy�*s stab vest, which he gave to stormzy to wear when he headlined the glastonbury festival. and this is one of his most famous early works. it is kissing coppers from brighton. it was originally on the wall there is a prince albert pub. now it will be showing in
6:21 am
glasgow for the next three months. we will try to take you around as much of the show as possible. really interestin: much of the show as possible. really interesting looking _ much of the show as possible. really interesting looking around. _ much of the show as possible. really interesting looking around. first - interesting looking around. first glimpse, really interesting. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. �*united in love' is the daily mirror's headline. like many papers, it focuses on the vigil at nottingham university, which was attended by the families of barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, the two students who were fatally stabbed. the times has picked out the image of the two sets of parents hugging each other — and its headline is a quote from grace's dad, sanjoy, who told the vigil, "look after each other and love everyone". the telegraph has a picture of barnaby and grace's mums comforting each other — but its lead story is about the commons inquiry into whether borisjohnson misled parliament over downing street parties.
6:22 am
he's accused one member of the investigating committee of "monstrous hypocrisy". and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website is about quick—thinking alex brewer. he was on a packed coach, travelling at 70 miles per hour on the m7a near moffat — just north of lockerbie — when the driver fell ill. alex managed to steer the vehicle to safety. vaping is supposed to be a way for smokers to stop using cigarettes, but many young people are taking it up even if they've never actually smoked. last month the royal college of paediatrics warned that it's fast becoming an epidemic. now schools in harrogate are trying to tackle the problem by writing to parents with their concerns. michelle lyons reports. so these are the vapes that we've confiscated in in school. gosh, they look like marker pens, don't they? yeah, many of them are do. and these are the ones that we've collected post—pandemic, where it's really kind of exploded, but hard to find, disguised in pencil cases,
6:23 am
maybe like some lipstick, some look like usb sticks. and it really looks clear to me that these are marketed for children. these e—cigarettes have been confiscated from pupils at harrogate grammar school, but this hasn't deterred many from continuing to vape. now head teachers across the district have joined forces to try and combat the problem. many, many headteachers across all the networks that i'm in are all talking about the issue of vaping in schools, which seems to have emerged post—pandemic. it really seems to have increased in prevalence. 11 headteachers in the harrogate district have now signed a letter expressing their concern about children possessing vapes at school, and warning parents action will be taken, including the risk of suspension. the bbc recently took a number of vapes that had been confiscated from a school to a laboratory to be tested, and the results were very concerning.
6:24 am
this device was found to have high levels of lead, nickel and chromium. in 15 years of testing i don't think we've ever seen a lead content like this in vape products. the dangerous levels of metals that we're just starting to understand that is in some of these vapes, that really worries me about what we're doing for these young people. and surely, we can do better as a society, and as a community, to look after our young people. i went to a gig the other week- and they were selling e—cigarettes on the same stand l as like feather boas. so it just shows - how accessible it is. without id, it's probably easier for me in town to get a vape than it is to buy a pint of something. it'sjust not as big a deal as what drinking or drugs are. headteachers in harrogate now hope the threat of suspension will deter their pupils from using e—cigarettes, and thereby protect them from any future health risks that may be linked to vaping. michelle lyons, bbc news.
6:25 am
still to come... as barbie is set to make her hollywood debut, we'll find out why she's still so popular at the age of 6a years old. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man who was involved in a police pursuit in the early hours of yesterday morning. officers say the pursuit began after the vehicle failed to stop in streatham. the car then crashed and the man ran off. the 3a—year—old was later found lying on railway lines and pronounced dead at the scene. six months on from the brixton academy crush, relatives of the two victims who died are urging
6:26 am
people to come forward with any footage or information that could help the police investigation. rebecca ikumelo and security worker gaby hutchinson died following a crowd crush, after ticketless fans tried to get into a show by the music artist asake. a third person is still seriously ill in hospital. we know that there is still more to come in terms of people coming forward. and even if you think it's just not even relevant, what you might not think is relevant could actually be a piece to a puzzle that could help solve what actually did happen that night. haringey council is set to expand the number of school streets in the borough. councillors agreed on tuesday to increase the number from 23 to 61. the scheme restricts vehicle access to certain roads around schools during drop—off and pick—up times. a series of stamps is being released by royal mail to mark 75 years since the empire windrush docked in the uk.
6:27 am
there are eight stamps with illustrations from five different artists, all with carribbean heritage. different artists, all with caribbean heritage. the drawings celebrate the contribution of the windrush generation, and their influence on life in the uk. the anniversary of the ship's arrival is onjune 22nd. let's take a look at the tubes. this is the picture on the cheap. pretty good news if you are using london underground. all lines are running a good service. good morning, very little changes today. we still have plenty of sunshine. it's dry and warm. we have the east—north—easterly breeze, so a little cooler for the essex coast, the thames estuary. inland temperatures reaching the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum. 0vernight, it stays dry and clear. the minimum temperature between 9—13c. as we head into friday,
6:28 am
again, very similar. plenty of sunshine through tomorrow. high pressure still in charge. but notice in the southwest we start to see the low pressure system edging closer. we don't get the influence tomorrow, though. it stays dry and temperatures again in the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum for friday. into the weekend, for saturday, perhaps a bit more cloud. for sunday, the rain coming up from the south — heavy, you might hear some rumbles of thunder. so turning unsettled by the end of the weekend, especially through the afternoon and into the evening. and it starts to feel a little humid again. but the temperature unaffected — staying in the mid—20s next week. that's it. if you want to find out the how grenfell community marked six years since the tragedy yesterday, head to our website. we'll be back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the city of nottingham has been united in grief, as thousands of people across the city continue to pay tribute to those killed
6:29 am
in tuesday's attacks. in an emotional address at a vigil yesterday, the fathers of barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar praised students for coming together, urging everyone to look after each other, as tim muffett reports. brought together by the most horrific events. i've lost my baby boy and i can't even comprehend how i'm going to deal with it. and he loved it — he loved it here. his heart will be with you guys for ever. and thank you so much. grace was also like barney, she loved coming up to nottingham. the love that we have out here.

years. this promises to deliver one of the best because england are delivering exciting cricket. it is called baz ball. he does not like the name. it is exciting. against australia. we are just over 2a hours away, from england's campaign to win back the ashes, having lost them in australia in 2017. and they've called on big—game experience in stuart broad for the first test. the partnership of ben stokes and brendan mccullum has reinvigorated english cricket over the past 1a months, but they face the ultimate test in australia as patrick geary reports. commentator: and it's all over. down under on top. for five years, the ashes urn has been in aussie hands. their grip is tight. officially the best test team in the world, they have the top three batters, too. and they never ease off whatever they are doing. but though they will tell
6:38 am
you they focus only on themselves, they have noticed how england have changed. they know they may have a fight on their hands. the cricket england have played the last 12 months has been really exciting. i've enjoyed watching from afar. you know, i said initially it perhaps might be different coming up against our attack, but we will wait and see, i suppose. but i think we've been playing good cricket, they have been playing good cricket so it makes for an exciting series. the australian attack has just to help them beat india to claim the world test championship. and now england will have josh hazlewood hurtling out of the shadows towards them. he is fit and raring to go tojoin the fearsome aussie bowling. no wonder he's excited. i always think our best tour is here in england for the ashes and, you know, getting to the airport a couple of weeks ago, it's just all on another level, it feels like. and friday comes, you're on the bus to the ground, everyone is hurling abuse at the bus and you know you're in birmingham.
6:39 am
so, yeah, it's quite exciting. for all the great teams and great players in australia have had over the past couple of decades, they haven't actually won a series outright in england since 2001. in fact, steve smith said it would be on his bucket list to do so. just another reason why this ashes series is so thrillingly poised. "a victory that will go down in history" — these are the words of the croatia manager zlatko dalic, after his side beat the netherlands in a dramatic uefa nations league semi—final. it finished 2—2 in normal time, after the netherlands had equalised in the 96th minute. but this goal from bruno petkovic and then a penalty from luka modric sealed their place, in sunday's final, when they will face spain or italy. one of english football's most exciting prospects, jude bellingham, will be presented as a real madrid player at a ceremony later today. he's completed the switch

from borussia dortmund for a fee of around £88 million. the former birmingham city midfielder hasjoined on a six—year contract and is to become the second most expensive british footaller of all time. golf's us open gets under way later today — it's the first major since the shock commercial merger between the pga tour and dp world tour, with liv golf's backers the saudi arabian public investment fund. england's reigning champion matthew fitzpatrick will feature in the 156—man field. 0rganisers are hoping all the talk is about his defence, rather than anything else. 0nce once the walls go in the air, the athletes take the narrative back and if you ask anyone to describe what was the 2022 us open was all about i don't think anyone would talk about the weekend before. they will talk about matthew fitzpatrick, the incredible theatre created thanks to the folks at the country club. i'm sure when we recap 2023 we will talk
6:41 am
about what happened on the golf course and not what happened off the golf course. heather watson says there's more to come after a big win saw her reach the nottingham 0pen quarter—finals. watson's ranked 195th in the world and beat the world number 66 and her doubles partner tatjana maria in straight sets. watson said, "it's never easy to play a friend but at the same time it's really special sharing the court with her." we end with the sad news about a chelsea legend. so many tributes have been paid to the former chelsea player and managerjohn hollins, who has died at the age of 76. chelsea described him as a player who was at the heart of one of the club's greatest teams, during a career at stamford bridge, that spanned two spells, including almost 600 games and three major trophies. he also managed the club in the 1980s. his firstjob after retiring as a player. 0ur our thoughts are with his friends and family including our great friend and former colleague chris hollins. , ., ., , , ., ,

6:43 am
have currently in glenfinnan with clear skies. through the morning, most will hang on to the clear skies. some cloud building through the morning. it will be fairly sunny, but as temperatures rise it could spark showers, especially in wales and northern ireland where if you catch one, they could be thundery. south—west england, north—west scotland and east anglia, but they will be the exception. temperature is 22—2a along the east coast. generally looking at possibly as high as 29 somewhere in the sand. not surprising uv levels are high. if you have an allergy to grass pollen, these are the levels. 0vernight, clearskies pollen, these are the levels. 0vernight, clear skies prevail. we will see showers developing across northern ireland and possibly
6:44 am
pembrokeshire and cornwall and also cloud coming back in across north—east england heading to the midlands. these are the temperatures overnight. 8—1a. tomorrow, mist will lift rapidly. another dry, warm day for most, but showers moving across northern ireland, parts of wales and not too far from the south—west. temperatures tomorrow up to 27 and feeling pleasant along north sea coast. into the weekend, low pressure comes in. circling the high pressure comes in. circling the high pressure that has been dominant. with it it will bring mild conditions and also some weather fronts. there will be showers in the west and heavy showers on sunday. and also something coming up from the south on sunday said that looks like the wettest day of the weekend.
6:45 am
eastern areas on saturday will have sunshine, dry weather. the showers, some thundery, coming in from the west. temperatures on saturday up to 26. sunday, we will have rain from the south during the day. we will have showers in the west. some of those will be thundery. so more unsettled and as a result a little bit cooler. still remaining unsettled into the beginning of next week. some relief for those not enjoying the heat. i think the next item will be a learning curve. i know almost nothing about barbie. really? she has been around 6a years. yea rs. next years. next month she is making her
6:46 am
hollywood debut with the film starring margot robbie. when the film was first mooted, really, margot robbie doing a barbie film, what is this about? hannah has taken a look at the appeal. it morning. ido i do know something about barbie. i had one called theresa ballerina, barbie's friend with pointed toes so she was extra special. what i did not know is that barbie's real name is barbara millicent roberts. she was named after the daughter of her creator and in the 6a years she has been on planet earth, there have been on planet earth, there have been a different variety of dolls. she can be an interior designer,
6:47 am
zoologist, we also have barbie as a photographer, a nurse, even a scuba—diving. it is estimated 100 dolls are sold around the world every minute which equates to about 58 million every year. and all of these have been part of animations, video games, but this movie will be the first time that barbie has been played by humans, as i have been finding out. hey, barbie, can i come to your house tonight? i don't have anything big planned. just a giant blow—out party with all the barbies and planned you should stop by. so cool. it's set to be one of the hottest films of the summer. barbie and ken enter the real world. what's going on? why are these men looking at me? and discover the highs and lows of life among humans. my heels are on the ground. so this has actually arrived today in the post. totally unexpected.
6:48 am
it's what we call doll mail. at home in blackpool, claire's, part of a global community of superfans who even buy each other barbie gifts. so it's come from dallas. a lovely lady called jess. do you know jess? i've never met her in person. i can't believe she sent me that. these are amazing. in just two years, she's amassed a collection of more than 1,000 barbies and shares their pictures on social media. what is it about barbie that's so great from your point of view? i think, for me, it's that draw back to childhood. and the fact that she is so varied and she has actually changed over the years, it kind of keeps irrelevant. and she's always got that iconic look that's pretty and uplifting and happy. as soon as you hold on to a barbie, it makes you feel happy. # barbie's small and so petite.
6:49 am
# her clothes and figure look so neat #. - she's come a long way in the 60—plus years since this first ever advert — inspiring a hit single. # i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world #. along with countless other dolls from her british rival, sindy. # it's gotta be sindy #. to the 21st century lol dolls. who wants extra fresh doughnuts? leaving many to believe toys like this will always have an enduring appeal. when it comes to doll play, it's such an evergreen, traditional play pattern and it also teaches kids some really important life skills. there have been studies done that show that doll play helps kids with their empathy and with their communication skills. and as she embarks on her latest adventure, the craze for perhaps the most famous doll of all is showing little sign of slowing down.

6:53 am
colony here at bempton. there's two down on the water. yeah. it's too far from me. we love birding. we go around the country, spend a lot of time in norfolk. anywhere where the birds are, we try to be. where are you from? northamptonshire. you're hunting puffins? i'm hunting puffins. they're normally on the water at this time, because they'll be they'll be fed, so they'll be washing. 5 o'clock this morning i started. yes, just got a passion for wildlife photography and itjust brings me to bempton. photograph pretty much everything. but over the last year or two - getting more into bird photography and that sort of thing. came up from norfolk a few days ago |to come and photograph, hopefully, | some of the puffins. once you get one, you're just eager to always keep going back, really. so i'm running a photography workshop for beginners this morning here, obviously, at bempton cliffs, which is one of the best places, if not the best place to come, on the yorkshire coast — especially at this time of year with 500,000 seabirds on the cliffs and ledges. a lot of the people on the course today haven't been to bempton before, so it'sjust mind—blowing coming and standing on top of a a00ft white chalk cliff looking out to sea and seeing all these incredible birds flying around.
6:54 am
we do get seals, as well, obviously. grey seals, a few common seals. i i'm just from down the coast in scarborough and i've just retired from being a head teacher. so i'm here and steve's brilliant, because it's notjust learning the photography, he knows about all the species, the habitats, and so there's a massive science lesson going on as well, which i love. so we've caught up with you. what have you got so far? so fara puffin, guillemot, that's the puffin again. there must be some gannets in there as well? yes, there is. everybody�*s walking around with huge cameras, but you don't seem to be too worried. no, no, i'm quite happy with the camera i've got. it's not that heavy and i don't have to carry it around with tripods and things like that. and you still got some great shots. hm. amazing. that was crispin rolfe with that report. many of us are thinking if you like bird—watching in your spare time,

6:57 am
officers say the pursuit began after the vehicle failed to stop in streatham. the car then crashed and the man ran off. the 3a—year—old was later found lying on railway lines and pronounced dead at the scene. six months on from the brixton academy crush, relatives of the two victims who died are urging people to come forward with any footage or information that could help the police investigation. rebecca ikumelo and security worker gaby hutchinson died following a crowd crush, after ticketless fans tried to get into a show by the music artist asake. a third person is still seriously ill in hospital. we know that there is still more to come in terms of people coming forward. and even if you think it's just not even relevant, what you might not think is relevant could actually be a piece to a puzzle that could help solve what actually did happen that night. haringey council is set to expand the number of school streets in the borough.
6:58 am
councilors agreed on tuesday to increase the number from 23 to 61. the scheme restricts vehicle access to certain roads around schools during drop—off and pick—up times. a series of stamps are being released by royal mail to mark seventy five years since the empire windrush docked in the uk. there's eight stamps with illustrations from five different artists, all with carribbean heritage. the drawings celebrate the contribution of the windrush generation, and their influence on life in the uk. the anniversary of the ship's arrival is onjune 22nd. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning, very little changes today. we still have plenty of sunshine. it's dry and warm. we have the east—north—easterly breeze, so a little cooler for the essex coast, the thames estuary.
6:59 am
inland temperatures reaching the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum. 0vernight, it stays dry and clear. the minimum temperature between 9—13c. as we head into friday, again, very similar. plenty of sunshine through tomorrow. high pressure still in charge. but notice in the southwest we start to see the low pressure system edging closer. we don't get the influence tomorrow, though. it stays dry and temperatures again in the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum for friday. into the weekend, for saturday, perhaps a bit more cloud. for sunday, the rain coming up from the south — heavy, you might hear some rumbles of thunder. so turning unsettled by the end of the weekend, especially through the afternoon and into the evening. and it starts to feel a little humid again. but the temperature unaffected — staying in the mid—20s next week. that's it — if you want to find out how the grenfell community marked six years since the tragedy yesterday, head to our website. we'll be back in half an hour.

jo black, who's in nottingham. we saw a very emotional scenes yesterday out of the visual. another one today. is shrouded in grief? == one today. is shrouded in grief? -- ecd one today. is shrouded in grief? » ecd shrouded in grief? yes, a very sad day yesterday. we are at the university of nottingham. these flowers have been left behind. people were coming this morning, they were coming late last night. still in tears, placing flowers, lighting candles. 0n still in tears, placing flowers, lighting candles. on tuesday all we knew was that three people had died. now we are learning more about those people, who they were, what plans they had for the future, what they loved, and who loved them. a city in grief. yesterday, these students came together in shock to honour two of their own. instead of welcoming them home for the summer holidays, theirfamilies were gathering to mourn. barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar had just completed their
7:03 am
first year of studies at the university of nottingham, and were walking home together after a party. i've lost my baby boy and i can't, you know, comprehend how i'm going to do and deal with it, myself and emma, and charlie, and his family and friends... but i know they'll be super touched by everyone that's here. the love that we have out here, ijust wish we had it everywhere. so... look after each other. that's the big thing, is that... look after your friends. 19—year—old barnaby was a talented cricketer, studying history. grace, alsojust 19, was training to be a doctor.
7:04 am
she, too, was a keen cricketer and played hockey for england under 16s and under 18s. the attacks third victim was 65— year—old ian coates, who worked in a local school. his son said he was everyone's friend, and just a few months away from retirement. no, he was a lovely gentleman, lovely, lovely gentleman. he's one of them people that will go out of his way to help anyone. and i reckon that's probably what he was trying to do that morning as well. cctv has now emerged of the alleged attacker trying to climb through the open window of a homeless hostel at around 5am. pushed back, he then departs towards the location where ian coates was stabbed, and his van stolen and used to injure three others. we don't yet have the name of the suspect, but we do know he's originally from west africa, has no criminal record, but does have a history of mental health issues.
7:05 am
he's been in the uk for many years, and had settled status, meaning he has permission to stay. police are keeping an open mind as to the motive behind these attacks, but are being assisted in their inquiries by counter—terror police, though this does not mean that it is currently being treated as a terrorist attack. for the victims�* families, questions must abound. but for now, the grief is overwhelming. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. among these flowers is this. a cricket ball. in fact, there are several cricket bowls. grace and burnaby were huge cricket fans and played the game. there is a message from grace�*s france, calling her gracie, talking about the plans they had and i did plan to travel. ——
7:06 am
friends. then there was this little message here. barney, i have known you for a year but it was the best year of my life. and it wouldn�*t have been the same without you. really heartfelt messages. and of course, ian coates was also remembered here yesterday. all three will be remembered at a vigil later on at the old market square. there is a book of condolences. i was there yesterday. people had already started to place flowers. another vigil. we have heard about the city of nottingham coming together. i think what has happened will take a very long time for the people who do process. thank you. mps investigating whether boris johnson lied to parliament about downing street lockdown parties, will publish their long—awaited report this morning. the former prime minister resigned on friday after receiving a draft copy, describing the committee as a kangaroo court in his resignation statement. 0ur political correspondent ione wells has this report. the evidence i shall give before this committee shall be the truth, the whole truth,
7:07 am
and nothing but the truth, so help me god. borisjohnson promising to tell the truth about whether he told the truth. if what ministers tell us is not the truth, we can't do ourjob. this committee has spent months investigating whether he misled mps over what he knew about covid rule breaking in downing street, when he made statements like this. the guidance was followed, and the rules were followed, at all times. i�*m here to say to you, hand on heart, that i did not lie to the house. when those statements were made, they were made in good faith and on the basis of what i honestly knew and believed at the time. borisjohnson has repeatedly denied he misled mps. the committee�*s report today is expected to say the opposite. at 30,000 words, it will resemble a short book, its contents made public for the first time.
7:08 am
for days, mrjohnson has been attempting to seize control of its narrative. after receiving an advanced copy of the report on friday, he resigned as an mp, attacking mps on the committee by accusing them of mounting a witch hunt to drive him out of parliament. last night, another twist. he called on one of the conservative mps on the committee, sir bernard jenkin, to quit, after claims on the guido fawkes website that he attended a drinks gathering for his wife�*s birthday in december 2020, when indoor mixing was restricted. having contacted all those named in the article, the bbc has not corroborated the claims, nor has sir bernard commented. 0pposition parties have accused him of using it as a distraction. i sat in parliament and heard boris johnson say repeatedly that no parties had taken place, or that no rules have been broken. and we then saw the evidence with our own eyes, actually — pictures. now, that's what this inquiry is about.
7:09 am
and this is a distraction by boris johnson from the central question of whether or not he lied. but mrjohnson, seizing on it to make another public criticism of the committee, suggests his determination to undermine its conclusions is not going anywhere. ione wells, bbc news. let�*s speak to nick eardley. good morning. it feels like this has been a long time coming. give us the mechanics. when do we actually see it, when do we know the detail, and what could the possible consequences be? , ., ., ., what could the possible consequences be? ., ,, , be? good morning. nine o'clock this mornin: is be? good morning. nine o'clock this morning is when _ be? good morning. nine o'clock this morning is when we _ be? good morning. nine o'clock this morning is when we are _ be? good morning. nine o'clock this morning is when we are expecting i be? good morning. nine o'clock this. morning is when we are expecting the report to be published. it is going to be long. it is going to take a long time to get into the nitty—gritty, into the detail of it, but i am hoping that we will be able to bring you at least some of the headlines on bbc breakfastjust after nine o�*clock this morning, if it is time —— of it is on time. it
7:10 am
has been delayed before. we cannot be totally certain of that one. when you stand back from it it is a really big moment. we have talked for over a year know about boris johnson�*s relationship with the truth, but accusations that he lied to parliament when he said that all rules had been followed in downing street. and today, we get the verdict of his peers in parliament. and i think it is going to be damning. ithink and i think it is going to be damning. i think it is going to say that borisjohnson wasn�*t truthful that boris johnson wasn�*t truthful with parliament about what had gone on behind the famous number 10 door during the pandemic. i think it is going to be critical of the comments he made to the committee earlier this year. and it has also been suggested to me that it will be critical of mps who tried to undermine the committee investigating borisjohnson. so, it will be a big moment when we get that verdict on borisjohnson�*s relationship with the truth. and if it is as damning as we are expecting, i think it will make the
7:11 am
prospect of a political comeback for borisjohnson all the harder. he will criticise the findings today. we will see him come out fighting. but it is a big moment.— but it is a big moment. thank you very much- _ but it is a big moment. thank you very much- a _ but it is a big moment. thank you very much. a man _ but it is a big moment. thank you very much. a man has _ but it is a big moment. thank you very much. a man has died - but it is a big moment. thank you very much. a man has died after. but it is a big moment. thank you| very much. a man has died after a police pursuit in south london. the 3a—year—old had failed to stop for police on streatham high street in the early hours of tuesday. his car then crashed and he was later found out on a railway line nearby. the police watchdog is investigating the incident. junior doctors in england are continuing their 72 hour strike today, in a dispute over pay and conditions. the bma, which represents doctors and medical students, says a 5% pay offer isn�*t enough. the health secretary steve barclay said he�*d be willing to speak to them if strikes are paused and they move significantly from what he says is their unreasonable position. at least 79 people have died after a crowded boat capsized off the coast of southern greece. more than 100 migrants were rescued from the fishing vessel,
7:12 am
that was reportedly en route to italy from libya. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake reports. the true scale of this disaster is not yet known, but it�*s clear it�*s extremely bad. more than 100 people were rescued, but survivors claim up to 700 people were on board the boat when it began to sink. and this was the vessel, packed, in the deepest part of the mediterranean sea. no one seemingly wearing a life jacket. translation: it is indeed a tragic situation, - a very difficult situation, with a very large number of shipwrecked people. a number i think we haven�*t faced in the past to such an extent. i�*m afraid the number of victims will be higher, because the number of people on board was much higher than the capacity that should be allowed for this boat. those aboard are thought to have set out from libya, and were heading for italy.
7:13 am
the greek coastguard said they approached the boat, but their offer of help was rejected. translation: we are shocked. we are shocked like everyone in greece, obviously. after we were informed of this incident, all services were mobilised. the municipality of kalamata, health care, etc. we have prepared. we are hearing that unfortunately the number of dead is increasing. but as greece�*s president visited the scene, a charity that supports migrants was accusing the greek authorities of knowing about the boat being in distress for hours before going to its aid. the disaster has prompted more calls for a joint effort to reduce the number of crossings. this is yet another example of the need of member states to come together and create orderly, safe pathways for people forced to flee, and for comprehensive action to save lives at sea and reduce perilous journeys. here in greece, a search and rescue
7:14 am
operation has gone on throughout wednesday, but hope of finding more survivors evaporated pretty quickly. more than 70,000 people have reached europe so far this year by boat. and the worry is that, with the weather continuing to be good, and as we reach the height of summer, more people, despite this tragedy, will attempt the treacherous journey. a journey that continues to claim the lives of so many people, desperate to reach europe, believing they�*ll find a better life. nick beake, bbc news, athens. the time now is 7:15am. so, you may well have heard of the story of four children who survived a plane crash in the amazon rainforest. ra i nfo rest. now a rainforest. now a new search is under way. it is under way to find wilson, a six—year—old belgian shepherd, used
7:15 am
by the colombian armed forces. he went missing the day before the children were found. he has not been seen since. many of the personnel who found the children are combing the densejungle for who found the children are combing the dense jungle for wilson. they are hoping they can find him. i think the thing is, there is a picture. the papers have been quite interested in this story. this is a picture of wilson, presumably taken as part of the original search, which was successful. i know it feels like a lord to send the forces back in, to send the rescue teams back in, but this is a six—year—old who has been trained with him. —— i know it feels a lot. no one has been left behind, that is the motto. they have gone back in because after the amazing find of those four children aged between 13 and one, who survived for a0 days, there is just a and one, who survived for a0 days, there isjust a hope and one, who survived for a0 days, there is just a hope that wilson might be found. there you go. there is a picture of
7:16 am
wilson. we will keep you posted on that one. it is 16 minutes past seven. let�*s talk to carol and find out what is happening with the weather. so, with the heat, you and i love the heat, with this comes hay fever, comes uncomfortable perhaps sleepless nights as well. there is a lot of light around. not everybody is going to be delighted and not by that chart either?— is going to be delighted and not by that chart either? absolutely right, nara. that chart either? absolutely right, naga- good — that chart either? absolutely right, naga. good morning. _ that chart either? absolutely right, naga. good morning. naga - that chart either? absolutely right, naga. good morning. naga is- that chart either? absolutely right, naga. good morning. naga is quite right when she says you will not be absolutely delighted by this chart, especially if you have an allergy to grass pollen. we are at the peak of the grass pollen season. the levels more or less across the board are high or very high. something to bear in mind if you arejust stepping out. this morning we have got some low cloud around newcastle, north—east england, heading towards the midlands and combo. what he will find is that will burn away as we go through the morning and the sun will come out. it will be sunny for most. a little bit of cloud in the
7:17 am
northern isles. not much more than that. sunny in northern ireland, northern england, where we lose that low cloud. the midlands, east anglia, down towards the south coast, most of wales, round pembrokeshire and the cornish coast, perhaps parts of the north devon coast seeing some of that cloud before it moves away. that continues through the day. as temperatures rise, that could spark off some showers. they will be fairly isolated. if you catch one in wales or northern ireland, it could be heavy or thundery. the other thing is we could see the odd shower pop up is we could see the odd shower pop up for example across parts of the east midlands. and also, east anglia. maybe to the north—west highlands. but temperatures today at to 27 degrees north to south, and possibly as high as 29 in the far side. as we head onto the evening and overnight period, we are looking at steel a lot of clear skies around, many of the daytime showers fading. a new system coming up from the south—west. you could catch the
7:18 am
odd shower in, for example, northern ireland, premature and cornwall. into tomorrow, a lot of us starting off on a drying out. if anything, the showers becoming more prolific towards the west. many of us won�*t actually see them. with the change in the wind direction, it is not going to feel as cool along the north sea coastline. the top temperatures are likely to be 26 or 27. i think you get a bertie bonus with a bit more of naga and charlie during that. apologies. you are absolutely right. we may stay a little bit of your fantastic arm waving and fantastic information giving, but we were paying attention. i could see you out of the corner of the —— my eye. the only enhance the whole broadcast. the -- my eye. the only enhance the whole broadcast.— whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and — whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you _ whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you too, _ whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you too, naga, - whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you too, naga, it - whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you too, naga, it is - whole broadcast. hello, what am i? hello?! and you too, naga, it is a l hello?! and you too, naga, it is a generic thing. hello?! and you too, naga, it is a generic thing-— hello?! and you too, naga, it is a reneric thin. ~ ., ., ., generic thing. when we are doing one of our generic thing. when we are doing one of your items — generic thing. when we are doing one of your items that _ generic thing. when we are doing one of your items that come _ generic thing. when we are doing one of your items that come -- _ generic thing. when we are doing one of your items that come -- i - generic thing. when we are doing one of your items that come -- i or - of your items that come —— i or items, we should pop you on the

a third person is still seriously ill in hospital. we know that there is still more to come in terms of people coming forward. and even if you think it's just not even relevant, what you might not think is relevant could actually be a piece to a puzzle that could help solve what actually did happen that night. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man who was involved in a police pursuit in the early hours of yesterday morning. officers say the pursuit began after the vehicle failed to stop in streatham. the car then crashed and the man ran off. the 34—year—old was later found lying on railway lines and pronounced dead at the scene. it's clean air day — an initiative organised by global action plan, an environmental charity. the charity helps to educate individuals, schools, and businesses about the impact of pollution and how we can tackle air pollutants and reduce our carbon footprint. events, talks, and workshops will take place around london today.

again, very similar. plenty of sunshine through tomorrow. high pressure still in charge. but notice in the southwest we start to see the low pressure system edging closer. we don't get the influence tomorrow, though. it stays dry and temperatures again in the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum for friday. into the weekend, for saturday, perhaps a bit more cloud. for sunday, the rain coming up from the south — heavy, you might hear some rumbles of thunder. so turning unsettled by the end of the weekend, especially through the afternoon and into the evening. and it starts to feel a little humid again. but the temperature unaffected — staying in the mid—20s next week. that's it. if you want to find out how the grenfell community marked six years since the tragedy yesterday, head to our website. we'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty.
7:32 am
a few weeks ago, we told you about the problems that families with disabled children are experiencing with child trust funds. around 80,000 young people can't access money in their accounts without their parents going through a lengthy court process. now we've learned that many of these young people, who can't make their own financial decisions, could receive less universal credit when they turn 18 because of this money they can't access. ruth clegg has more. round and round the garden like a teddy bear. clare has saved £8,500 for ryan's future. but it's locked in his child trust fund. initially, when i set it up, i thought that that was going to be money for his first car or towards a deposit or to get him through university. and it's bad enough thinking that those things aren't going to be relevant for him now, but to then think that, actually, that money that i've saved
7:33 am
that he could use for other things that he's not going to have access to is really heartbreaking. ryan is one of 80,000 young people who, because they lack capacity to make financial decisions, cannot access their trust fund without going through the court of protection. everything, when you've got a child with disabilities, is such a fight. and to now have to fight to try and get this money for him, trying to find the time to do anything else is just really hard. so it feels really unfair? really unfair, yeah. and to add to that, claire has learned that the savings they can't access will have an impact on ryan's benefits when he turns 18. he'll lose some universal credit, a means—tested benefit, because he has over £6,000 in a savings account. ryan's not going to be able to access the money that i've saved, but equally he's then going to be penalised because he can't. he won't be able to get the full amount of benefit that he's entitled
7:34 am
because he's got this money that he can't access. and to me, this whole system just seems so wrong. as a mum of a disabled child, what does this say to you about how valued you are in society? it puts no value at all on either myself or on ryan, which is really awful. why should he be penalised for something that i've done with the best of intentions to set him up for life? it was really impressive. here at one family, the uk's biggest child trust fund provider, they are helping young people like ryan avoid a long and often costly court process. it just feels very unfair that a child who probably needs the funds now has to wait that long to go through a process unnecessarily. they've chosen to unlock over 1,000 accounts, releasing £3.6 million without involving the court of protection, which they say is within the spirit of the mental capacity act.
7:35 am
i don't lose sleep thinking that i'm breaking the law, because i genuinely don't think i am asking this organisation to break the law. in most of these cases, these families are already receiving some form of benefit from the government. and if you just follow that paper trail, you can basically establish the link between the parent who is looking after the young adult and the owner of the money. and that's exactly what his company did for leah and her family. at first, leah's mum was preparing for battle. she knew leah's twinjack wouldn't have a problem accessing his money, but she was worried that it would be a very different story for her daughter. they're both entitled to the money, were born on the same day, live in the same house. why should they be treated differently? but because leah's trust fund was with one family, the process was quick and easy. within three weeks of leah turning 18, they received a cheque
7:36 am
for her savings at the same time as her twinjack. and now theyjust have to decide how to spend it. leah loves going on holiday, so we've decided we're probably going to book a holiday next year just to suit her, really — an all—inclusive with entertainment 24/7 that she'll just love. the government says it's speeding up the court process and has released a guide to help families navigate the legal system, which it says exists for good reason — to protect from fraud and abuse. but claire and thousands of other parents believe the system is preventing their children from accessing the money that is rightfully theirs. the importance of having those savings is going to be massive. if something goes wrong, he's not sitting hungry, he's not sitting cold because he can't afford to put his heating on. those things absolutely terrify me. she needs a guarantee that that money will be there for when ryan needs it. ruth clegg, bbc news.
7:37 am
our thanks to claire and wendy and their children for telling us their stories— their children for telling us their stories and experiences. for more on this, we can speak to barrister victoria butler cole. it seems as if it is a mistake that could be fixed quite quickly. it is could be fixed quite quickly. it is not a mistake. _ could be fixed quite quickly. it is not a mistake. if— could be fixed quite quickly. it 3 not a mistake. if you learn more about the way the law works for people who cannot make their own decisions it makes more sense. the way the law operates is one someone is 18 they are an adult and make their own decisions and no one else has the right to make decisions for them. it means if you cannot make those decisions because of disability, there needs to be a mechanism in place for someone else to do it for you. in relation to finances, it is either the person themselves creating a lasting power of attorney or the court of protection making an order. the
7:38 am
reason you need that formal authority is there has to be protective measures in place for people who cannot make their own decisions. the vast majority of parents of disabled young adults have no intention of misusing their funds. but there are cases where money is taken off people and not spent for their benefit which is why we have a system that ensures there is a formal structure in place so people are accountable and the people are accountable and the people whose money it is, the disabled young adults, can be confident their money will be spent for their benefit and there will be no problem with financial abuse. the roblem no problem with financial abuse. the problem with this system is it is a lengthy court process and can be expensive and it seems to penalise the majority who are good to protect the majority who are good to protect the minority. i am not saying you should not protect them.- the minority. i am not saying you should not protect them. against the minority who — should not protect them. against the minority who are _ should not protect them. against the minority who are bad. _ should not protect them. against the minority who are bad. i _ should not protect them. against the

will not cost money to bring the application. you do not need a lawyer to bring an application to the court of protection, you can do it yourself. there are a number of people out there willing to help for free to assist families and there is a charity who has set up a scheme in conjunction with a legal firm to provide free advice and assistance to make applications so do not be put off by what sounds daunting process, it is not a battle. it is a system set up to be as easy as possible for people to use and people can provide free assistance to ensure parents can make applications and get access the funds. . ~ applications and get access the funds. ., ~' , ., , . mikejoins us. give it the hard sell if you need to. the ashes starting

in the 805, his firstjob after retiring a5 a player. his son chris hollins, ourformer colleague, tweeted, my hero, best friend and dad left us today. our thoughts are with chris and his family. people who live in north korea 5ay people who live in north korea say some are starving. the borders have been sealed more than three years but with the help of a south korean news organisation, there have been stories of people living there. we have an exclusive report. escaping north korea is a treacherous game. this is often people's last resort, their means to survive. when the government sealed its border with china at the start of the pandemic, it cut off their only escape route. for months,
7:45 am
three people inside the country have risked their lives to tell us about the devastating impact this is having. we're using actors and animations to illustrate their words. the government strictly controls the border, using covid as an excuse. but really, it's to stop the smuggling and people crossing the river to china. this is a market trader living near the border, who we're calling yosuke. if you even approach the river, you'll be given a harsh punishment. there's almost nobody crossing now. authorities are also trying to wall people in, erecting fences and surveillance cameras. guards have been ordered to shoot anyone attempting to cross. and in a country already synonymous with brutal prison camps and public executions, a construction worker we're calling chan ho, has told us crackdowns are intensifying.
7:46 am
every day, it gets harder to live. one wrong move and you're facing execution. _ a friend's son told me about several closed door executions he saw. - each time, three to four. people would be executed. the crime was trying to escape. people are stuck here and waiting to die. i i think that what these three north korean people are sharing through these interviews does support the idea that north korea is even more repressive, even more totalitarian than it's ever been before. not only is kim jong—un stopping people leaving, he's desperately trying to stop information about the outside world getting in. this poses the biggest threat to his survival, according to one of the regime's highest profile defectors. translation: | know l the government is afraid of people's mindset changing.
7:47 am
the younger generation is starting to ask what has kim jong—un ever done for us? if discontent keeps building up, one day it could explode. and there are small signs people's loyalty to the kim family is waning. before covid, people viewed kim jong—un positively. we hoped, perhaps, that he'd rule in a new way. but now almost everybody's full of discontent. nobody believes the propaganda on tv. the state says we are nestling in our mother's bosom. but what kind of mother would execute the child in broad daylight for running to china because they were starving? at one of the hardest times in north korea's history, the state is closing in on every front. people have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
7:48 am
jean mackenzie, bbc news. the north korean government did not refute the claims but said the report was not entirely factual as it came from what they called anti—government forces. the anti-government forces. the government _ anti-government forces. the government said _ anti—government forces. the government said they have always prioritised interest of the people, even at difficult times. there is a documentary you can see. it is now available to watch on the bbc iplayer. we are going to show you a remarkable picture from high in the tree tops in scotland. the scottish highlands. it is where a pair of ospreys are nesting. they have two chicks. we are looking carefully to
7:49 am
see if we can see them. we can see a parent. this vantage point, we were talking about it earlier. i am not sure how they managed to get the cameras into that position. but in this glorious sunshine in the scottish highlands, this is an incredible picture this morning. i do not think in the almost two hours we have been on air this morning that osprey... there is the chick! the mother is picking up the twig and just behind her is the chick. i am sorry, i sounded excited. what i was going to say, i think the aduu what i was going to say, i think the adult has been there throughout the morning and not left the nest. mainly doing embroidery around the nest. tidying up home, keeping home team.
7:50 am
ospreys, a fascinating history. they became extinct but there was one breeding pair here in the 19505 and from that pair we now have 250 in the uk. we were sharing earlier a group of twitchers who had gathered, a wonderful time together spotting puffins. saying what had inspired them. perhaps you are out this morning. and you are out bird watching or seeing something beautiful. if you have, perhaps you would like to get in touch. we would like to see your pictures. you can get in touch on whatsapp... you can scan the qr code. and you can
7:51 am
by e—mail. and twitter. i do not think we will see anything that will be better than the osprey 200 feet up be better than the osprey 200 feet up but we will see what comes in. did you know that when you look up at the night sky, you can see just 5% of the universe? i would have thought that was quite a lot. the rest is still a complete mystery. but next month, a satellite will launch in florida that could change our understanding of the universe for ever, and it's the brainchild of a professorfrom portsmouth university. jo palmer reports. for most of us, a ride in an aeroplane is as close to space as we'll ever get. but there are ways to explore deeper into the cosmos without actually going there. and professor adam amara has made it his life's work. his mission is to explore the evolution of the universe and find out how it's formed
7:52 am
and what it's doing. it's pretty impressive, where we live, when you look up. and you forget about it day to day until you come to a brilliant planetarium like this and you're humbled by our place in the universe. it's a mystery. there's a lot of stuff in the universe we don't understand. 18 years ago, adam came up with the idea to build a satellite which could help explain dark energy and dark matter. together, these forces make up 95% of our universe, yet scientists know little about them. it's everywhere and it's the thing that drives the universe. adam's satellite, called euclid, hopes to make pioneering discoveries through high—resolution images and a technique called gravitational lensing. this is where the shapes of galaxies just bend a little bit. and if you have enough galaxies, you can see how they bend and then you figure out what comes out next. and the crazy idea that a friend of mine and i had was,
7:53 am
if you want to make the most out of this technique, you just need to take a picture of the whole sky — to the point where you can find and measure galaxies that are ten billion years away from us and you want to measure a billion of them. how much have we measured so far and what scope is this going to have comparably? there are satellites like the hubble space telescope, which is very famous, and that takes super—high—res images of a little area here, a little bit over here. you know, maybe that little bit over there. but to do that over the whole sky, that's the thing that really changes with euclid. at this very moment, there are 8,000 satellites orbiting our earth, but euclid is unique. if you think about the space sector as like cars, there are some ford fiestas around. and, you know, they do a lot of good communication stuff. but the science satellites, things like euclid, they're your formula 1
7:54 am
of the satellite world. to see the engineering that goes into making it real is mind—blowing. it's been built all over the world, so some pieces have been built in california, some here in the uk, in guildford and london. and all of these bits are then pulled together and turned into a satellite. and the cost, if you add it all up, i'm sure it's £1 billion. it's a lot of money. yeah, you don't want to waste a billion. that feels bad. how much jeopardy is involved? it's a one—off, you make it work, nobody�*s insuring it, you don't get to rebuild. it is what it is. there's just so many things that can go wrong, but you have to try. if we can figure out what is the physical mechanism that makes the universe go faster, that's a major discovery for humanity.

8:01 am
to a puzzle that could help solve what actually did happen that night. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man who was involved in a police pursuit in the early hours of yesterday morning. officers say the pursuit began after the vehicle failed to stop in streatham. the car then crashed and the man ran off. the 34—year—old was later found lying on railway lines and pronounced dead at the scene. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. today will be another settled and warm day with sunny conditions in the morning. in the afternoon, patchy cloud will build for some, but plenty of lengthy sunny spells will continue. maximum temperature, 28 celsius. that's it — keep up to date on our website or the bbc news app we'll be back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty.

8:05 am
were gathering to mourn. barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar had just completed their first year of studies at the university of nottingham, and were walking home together after a party. i've lost my baby boy and i can't, you know, comprehend how i'm going to do and deal with it, myself and emma, and charlie, and his family and friends... but i know they'll be super touched by everyone that's here. the love that we have out here, ijust wish we had it everywhere. so... look after each other. that's the big thing, is that... look after your friends. 19—year—old barnaby was a talented
8:06 am
cricketer, studying history. grace, alsojust19, was training to be a doctor. she, too, was a keen cricketer and played hockey for england under 16s and under 18s. the attacks third victim was 65— year—old ian coates, who worked in a local school. his son said he was everyone's friend, and just a few months away from retirement. no, he was a lovely gentleman, lovely, lovely gentleman. he's one of them people that will go out of his way to help anyone. and i reckon that's probably what he was trying to do that morning as well. cctv has now emerged of the alleged attacker trying to climb through the open window of a homeless hostel at around 5am. pushed back, he then departs towards the location where ian coates was stabbed, and his van stolen and used to injure three others. we don't yet have the name of the suspect, but we do know
8:07 am
he's originally from west africa, has no criminal record, but does have a history of mental health issues. he's been in the uk for many years, and had settled status, meaning he has permission to stay. police are keeping an open mind as to the motive behind these attacks, but are being assisted in their inquiries by counter—terror police, though this does not mean that it is currently being treated as a terrorist attack. for the victims�* families, questions must abound. but for now, the grief is overwhelming. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. as you can say, people are still coming and leaving flowers. some heartfelt tributes. one talks about burnaby�*s infectious smile. one from grace's france, who talks about the plans they had for the future, the fact they were going to go
8:08 am
travelling and now she will live on in their memories. lots of cricket balls here as well. we know both grace and burnaby were huge cricket fans and played the game. —— burnaby. this is a lovely setting but it is a very strange feeling being here. there is also a vigil planned for this afternoon in the old market square in nottingham. there is a banner across the city council building that says one city, nottingham together. when something like this happen is people don't know what to do, they don't know what to say. perhaps these vigils offer some comfort. we have heard about the city of nottingham pulling together. i think it will take a very long time for people here to process what has happened. thank you ve much. mp5 investigating whether boris johnson lied to parliament about downing street lockdown parties, will publish their long—awaited report this morning. the former prime minister resigned on friday after receiving a draft copy, describing the committee as a kangaroo court
8:09 am
in his resignation statement. our political correspondent lone wells has this report. the evidence i shall give before this committee shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me god. borisjohnson promising to tell the truth about whether he told the truth. if what ministers tell us is not the truth, we can't do ourjob. this committee has spent months investigating whether he misled mp5 over what he knew about covid rule breaking in downing street, when he made statements like this. the guidance was followed, and the rules were followed, at all times. i'm here to say to you, hand on heart, that i did not lie to the house. when those statements were made, they were made in good faith and on the basis of what i honestly knew and believed at the time. borisjohnson has repeatedly denied he misled mp5. the committee's report today is expected to say the opposite. at 30,000 words, it will resemble
8:10 am
a short book, its contents made public for the first time. for days, mrjohnson has been attempting to seize control of its narrative. after receiving an advanced copy of the report on friday, he resigned as an mp, attacking mp5 on the committee by accusing them of mounting a witch hunt to drive him out of parliament. last night, another twist. he called on one of the conservative mp5 on the committee, sir bernard jenkin, to quit, after claims on the guido fawkes website that he attended a drinks gathering for his wife's birthday in december 2020, when indoor mixing was restricted. having contacted all those named in the article, the bbc has not corroborated the claims, nor has sir bernard commented. opposition parties have accused him of using it as a distraction. i sat in parliament and heard boris johnson say repeatedly that
8:11 am
no parties had taken place, or that no rules have been broken. and we then saw the evidence with our own eyes, actually — pictures. now, that's what this inquiry is about. and this is a distraction by boris johnson from the central question of whether or not he lied. but mrjohnson, seizing on it to make another public criticism of the committee, suggests his determination to undermine its conclusions is not going anywhere. lone wells, bbc news. let's speak to nick eardley. borisjohnson has seen an advance copy of this report, but the rest of us, you included, all the political correspondents kamara on standby now for 9am this morning. —— correspondence are on standby. for 9am this morning. -- correspondence are on standby. yes, nine o'clock. — correspondence are on standby. yes, nine o'clock, 30,000 _ correspondence are on standby. is: nine o'clock, 30,000 words will drop. it will take a while to go through it. we have been chatting to
8:12 am
a lot of people close to the process to try and work out what is in this report. but you are right, we have not seen the final details. what we do know is it was bad enough for borisjohnson to quit parliament. it is clearly damning enough that he doesn't think that he can go on as an mp. we have seen borisjohnson out and about near his home this morning. asked a bunch of questions byjournalists. about his future. he didn't answer any of them. i“refill! by journalists. about his future. he didn't answer any of them. will you take responsibility _ didn't answer any of them. will you take responsibility for _ didn't answer any of them. will you take responsibility for anything? i take responsibility for anything? has your— take responsibility for anything? has your criticism _ take responsibility for anything? has your criticism of _ take responsibility for anything? has your criticism of the - take responsibility for anything? i has your criticism of the committee backfired? — has your criticism of the committee backfired? �* ., , has your criticism of the committee backfired? 1, _ ., ,., ., backfired? boris johnson has criticised this _ backfired? boris johnson has criticised this process - backfired? boris johnson has criticised this process but - backfired? boris johnson has criticised this process but he | backfired? boris johnson has - criticised this process but he has not done any interviews yet, so there has not been a chance to interrogate him on that. i do think that as soon as this report drops this morning we will hear from boris johnson, criticising the process again, saying it wasn't fair. but if you stand back from it, this is a
8:13 am
really big moment. because for well over a year now and the cross we have been talkingabout boris johnson's relationship with truth, about whether he told parliament, and by extension, the public, the truth about what went on in downing street during the pandemic. and what parties were held at what point. and today we are going to get what i expected to be a really damning conclusion, saying that he wasn't honest with parliament and with the public. and that he should be held to account for that. it will be, probably next week, probably monday, by the time we get a vote on boris johnson and this report. rishi sunak has been out this morning and he was asked about what the government do. i can't speculate. i have not seen the ican't speculate. i have not seen the report— i can't speculate. i have not seen the report yet. these are typically matters _ the report yet. these are typically matters for the house, not the government, and it is the house of commons — government, and it is the house of commons and parliament that will describe _ commons and parliament that will describe -- — commons and parliament that will describe —— decide the appropriate course _ describe —— decide the appropriate course of— describe —— decide the appropriate course of action. | describe -- decide the appropriate course of action.— describe -- decide the appropriate course of action. i wonder why rishi

8:15 am
mourning. —— greece's biggest migrant tragedies. the bma says a 5% pay offer is not enough. the health secretary steve barclay has said he is willing to resume talks if the strikes are opposed. and if the union moves significantly from what he says is an unreasonable position. you might remember the story of four children who survived a plane crash in the amazon rainforest. now a new search is on for one of the tracker dogs who helped to find them. wilson is a six—year—old belgian shepherd and he has been used by the colombian armed forces. he went missing the day before the children were found. he has not been seen since. many of the personnel who found the children have gone back to the densejungle to found the children have gone back to the dense jungle to find him. good luck to them. 16 minutes past eight. how is your day going so far, carol?
8:16 am
not too badly, thank you for asking, charlie. hope yours is the same. good morning. if you arejust stepping out this morning, the temperatures are rapidly rising. in leedsit temperatures are rapidly rising. in leeds it is about 12 degrees, 16 in edinburgh, south uist 18 degrees. we have got some low cloud and market conditions across parts of north—east england, north midlands and the south—west, but quickly they will burn away and we are looking at a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine. through the afternoon, as those temperatures rise, we could catch the odd shower in the south—west, the odd heavy and possibly thundery one in wales, the odd one for the east midlands, east anglia, and the odd heavy and finally won in northern ireland. but as we push across northern england, and much of scotland, it is going to be dry. in the north—west highlands you might catch the odd shower. yesterday, it was 27.4 millimetres of rain, 27 of which fell in just one hour. these are the
8:17 am
temperatures. 18 to 27. they could get higher in the south east, possibly 28, 29. tonight you will find a lot of dry weather around. some clear skies. similar cloud forming in similarareas some clear skies. similar cloud forming in similar areas to last night. with a weather front approaching we could see some showers getting into cornwall, pembrokeshire and possibly as far north as northern ireland. tomorrow we will lose any low cloud, mist or fog overnight. for most it will be dry, it will be sunny and it will be one. you can see the showers mixing more in roads across northern ireland, wales and the south—west. milder, it's much warmer, along the south—east. top temperatures up to 27 or 28 degrees. thank you. he is one of the most secretive and controversial artist in the world. now banksy is giving people the chance to see some rail —— rare artworks in an official solo exhibition. this is same sort of getting stuff together from all over the world for the first time in 14
8:18 am
years. and it is going to run for three months from this weekend at the glasgow museum of modern art. that is where colin paterson is this morning. i don't think we can stress, this is an exclusive for us here and breakfast, but this has been a secret for two years in the making? been a secret for two years in the makina? ~ , , ., been a secret for two years in the making? absolutely. only two people at this gallery — making? absolutely. only two people at this gallery knew _ making? absolutely. only two people at this gallery knew it _ making? absolutely. only two people at this gallery knew it was _ making? absolutely. only two people at this gallery knew it was all - at this gallery knew it was all happening. we will be speaking to one of them in a few minutes. that is how secretive it was. the works of art you are four his whole career. what they want to do is really explain how his works are made. we have got the original stencils he used. what banksy has done is paint a those stencils to give them a whole new lease of life. and if you come this way, you can see some really famous works like mobile lovers, from bristol in 2014. coming to another room, this is a work that has only ever been seen in bethlehem in the west bank. it is an
8:19 am
israeli soldier having a pillow fight with an israeli guard. and so it goes on. we will be looking around the museum or more. first, let's have a quick look back at his career suffer. for 25 years, banksy has been creating guerilla graffiti, using the walls of buildings to make some of britain's best—known art and managing to keep his identity a secret, although it's believed he is around 50 and from bristol. his work often uses stencils — a technique which allows him to create pictures quickly without being caught — and the themes are often both playful and political. animals, children and figures of authority regularly feature. there have been very few official banksy exhibitions, but in weston—super—mare in 2015, he opened dismaland, a large—scale collaboration
8:20 am
with other artists which he termed a bemusement park. one of his most famous works was created in 2018. balloon girl had just been auctioned at sotheby�*s in london for £1 million when an alarm went off inside the frame. cheering. and the picture dropped into a hidden shredder. a malfunction meant the destruction stopped just over half way. banksy declared it was now a new piece of work titled love is in the bin and, three years later, the original buyer sold it for more than 20 times what they paid it. once, when asked to sum up his work, banksy commented, "people say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish — but that's only if it's done properly." this is the stab vest that banksy made four when he had lively glastonbury festival. one of his
8:21 am
very famous early works, kissing coppers, originally on the wall of a pub in brighton. this is a version spray—painted on the original stencil used for that. let's speak to one of the two people who knew that this exhibition was going to happen. it is gareth james, the manager of this gallery. how difficult a secret has been —— as they spin to keep for two years? it they spin to keep for two years? it has been very difficult. it is a great — has been very difficult. it is a great relief we can finally say the artist's _ great relief we can finally say the artist's name out loud. i suppose we have had _ artist's name out loud. i suppose we have had lots of funny conversations with colleagues, friends, relatives, about— with colleagues, friends, relatives, about the _ with colleagues, friends, relatives, about the work that we are doing at the gallery. it isjust brilliant that— the gallery. it isjust brilliant that it — the gallery. it isjust brilliant that it is _ the gallery. it isjust brilliant that it is here, it is open, and what — that it is here, it is open, and whatan— that it is here, it is open, and what an amazing show. how that it is here, it is open, and what an amazing show. how did you brina in all what an amazing show. how did you bring in all these _ what an amazing show. how did you bring in all these works? _ what an amazing show. how did you bring in all these works? how- what an amazing show. how did you bring in all these works? how did i bring in all these works? how did you get it all anybody going, that is a banksy?— you get it all anybody going, that is a banksy? well, we kept things ve tiaht. is a banksy? well, we kept things very tight. there _ is a banksy? well, we kept things very tight. there was _ is a banksy? well, we kept things very tight. there was quite - is a banksy? well, we kept things very tight. there was quite a - is a banksy? well, we kept things very tight. there was quite a lot l is a banksy? well, we kept things| very tight. there was quite a lot of security _ very tight. there was quite a lot of security. we just went about it in a kind of— security. we just went about it in a kind of calm. — security. we just went about it in a

relatives of the two victims who died in the brixton academy crush are urging people to come forward with any footage or information that could help the police investigation. it's six months since rebecca ikumelo and security worker gaby hutchinson died following a crowd crush, after ticketless fans tried to get into a show by the music artist asa ke. a third person is still seriously ill in hospital. we know that there is still more to come in terms of people coming forward. and even if you think it's just not even relevant, what you might not think is relevant could actually be a piece to a puzzle that could help solve what actually did happen that night. the police watchdog is investigating following the death of a man who was involved in a police pursuit in the early hours of yesterday morning. officers say the pursuit began after the vehicle failed to stop in streatham. the car then crashed and the man ran off.
8:27 am
the 34—year—old was later found lying on railway lines and pronounced dead at the scene. haringey council is set to expand the number of school streets in the borough. councillors agreed on tuesday to increase the number from 23 to 61. the scheme restricts vehicle access to certain roads around schools during drop—off and pick—up times. a series of stamps is being released by royal mail to mark 75 years since the empire windrush docked in the uk. there are eight stamps with illustrations from five different artists, all with caribbean heritage. the drawings celebrate the contribution of the windrush generation, and their influence on life in the uk. the anniversary of the ship's arrival is onjune 22nd. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the district line.
8:28 am
good morning, very little changes today. we still have plenty of sunshine. it's dry and warm. we have the east—north—easterly breeze, so a little cooler for the essex coast, the thames estuary. inland temperatures reaching the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum. overnight, it stays dry and clear. the minimum temperature between 9—13c. as we head into friday, again, very similar. plenty of sunshine through tomorrow. high pressure still in charge. but notice in the southwest we start to see the low pressure system edging closer. we don't get the influence tomorrow, though. it stays dry and temperatures again in the high 20s. 28 celsius the maximum for friday. into the weekend, for saturday, perhaps a bit more cloud. for sunday, the rain coming up from the south — heavy, you might hear some rumbles of thunder. so turning unsettled by the end of the weekend, especially through the afternoon and into the evening. and it starts to feel a little humid again. but the temperature unaffected —
8:29 am
staying in the mid—20s next week. that's it — and if you want to find out how the grenfell community marked six years since the tragedy yesterday, head to our website. we'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the city of nottingham has been united in grief, as thousands of people across the city continue to pay tribute to those killed in tuesday's attacks. in an emotional address at a vigil yesterday, the fathers of barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar praised students for coming together, urging everyone to look after each other, as tim muffett reports. brought together by the most horrific events. i've lost my baby boy
8:30 am
and i can't even comprehend how i'm going to deal with it. and he loved it — he loved it here. his heart will be with you guys for ever. and thank you so much. grace was also like barney, she loved coming up to nottingham. the love that we have out here. ijust wish we had it everywhere. so... look after each other. many students have spoken of their shock and disbelief at what happened, and hundreds of them have turned up to this vigil on campus. i know barnaby. he was a lovely boy. he was, like, very proactive in sports.
8:31 am
a lot of shock. it's such a sad, sudden situation. i think, because we're first years, it's like it's kind of hit you really hard because we're going home to families, as well, and it's awful that that's something that's not going to happen for their families and friends. on days like today, it makes you realise how important. it is to look out for your family and friends and particularly . for the family and friends of grace and barney. - it's important for the student community and staff - and the university community to come together and sort of pay— their respects and sort of show what they actually meant - to the university. in old market square, flowers have been laid and tears have flowed. ijust felt compelled to come. it was just so upsetting. these families have lost their loved ones so tragically. and ijust wanted to come and pay my
8:32 am
respects and do what i could do. i hope people, you know, don't feel that they can't be safe here when they come here to study and things. ijust think... it'sjust so sad. i've got a 19—year—old myself, so... sorry _ itjust hit close to home for me. it's really important for us - to pay our respects and, you know, just honour the three lives that have been lost. _ it's terrible. we've got a great community . of people that will pull together. it won't define us. you know, we'll get stronger from this. i we stand together. ijust want to pass on condolences to their families, that got killed,
8:33 am
and all those injured in hospital and tell them that we're here for them. a university and a city in mourning. tim muffett, bbc news, nottingham. just a note. you are probably aware. nine o'clock is when we expect the privileges committee report to be published. 30,000 pages. a lot to get through. it is about partygate and when the borisjohnson as prime minister lied to parliament. you can see the website which is in holding pattern ahead of all the information. we are told that at nine o'clock it will be there and of
8:34 am
course we will look through and bring you as much as we can of the detail. 30,000 words expected. a longer —— a long report. talking of things that are long—awaited, highly anticipated. more fun things. the ashes. the last time they won an ashes series on home soil was 2015. remember it well. they lost to the following series in australia and then drew and have not won back yet. mid glamorgan hosted the first match in 2015 and this time it is edgbaston. the atmosphere is going to be... it is known for the noise. just over a 24—hour is to go. the stage is set.
8:35 am
at edgbaston, where, in just over 2a hours' time, england will try to win back the ashes having lost them so tamely, in australia in the 2017—18 series. and they've called on big—game experience, in stuart broad for the first test. the partnership of ben stokes and brendan mccullum, has reinvigorated english cricket over the past 14 months, but they face the ultimate test in australia, as patrick geary reports. commentator: and it's all over. down under on top. for five years, the ashes urn has been in aussie hands. their grip is tight. officially, the best test team in the world, they have the top three batters, too. and they never ease off whatever they are doing. but though they will tell you they focus only on themselves, they have noticed how england have changed. they know they may have a fight on their hands. the cricket england have played the last 12 months has been really exciting. i've enjoyed watching from afar. you know, i said initially it perhaps might be different coming up against our attack, but we will wait and see, i suppose. but i think we've been playing good cricket,
8:36 am
they have been playing good cricket so it makes for an exciting series. the australian attack has just to help them beat india to claim the world test championship. and now england will have josh hazlewood hurtling out of the shadows towards them. he is fit and raring to go tojoin the fearsome aussie bowling. no wonder he's excited. i always think our best tour is here in england for the ashes and, you know, getting to the airport a couple of weeks ago, it's just all on another level, it feels like. and friday comes, you're on the bus to the ground, everyone is hurling abuse at the bus and you know you're in birmingham. so, yeah, it's quite exciting. for all the great teams and great players australia have had over the past couple of decades, they haven't actually won a series outright in england since 2001. in fact, steve smith said it would be on his bucket list to do so. just another reason why this ashes series is so thrillingly poised.
8:37 am
"a victory that will go down in history" — these are the words of the croatia manager zlatko dalic, after his side beat the netherlands in a dramatic uefa nations league semi—final. it finished 2—2 in normal time, after the netherlands had equalised in the 96th minute. but this goal from bruno petkovic and then a penalty from luka modric sealed their place in sunday's final, when they will face spain or italy. pressure on jude bellingham, will be presented as a real madrid player later today. he's completed the switch from borussia dortmund for a fee of around £88 million. the former birmingham city midfielder hasjoined on a six—year contract and is to become the second most expensive british footaller of all time. that could change. it could rise to a british record outright of £115 million with potential add—ons. heather watson says
8:38 am
there's more to come after a big win saw her reach the nottingham open quarter—finals. watson is ranked 195th in the world and beat the world number 66 and her doubles partner tatjana maria in straight sets. watson said, "it's never easy to play a friend but at the same time it's really special sharing the court with her." and being in nottingham at this tragic time, as andy murray said, there are some things more important than tennis and a minute's silence was held in memory of the victims of the attacks. andy murray had been in the attacks. andy murray had been in the city for dinner that night and called it shocking and heartbreaking. golf's us open gets under way later today — it's the first major since the shock commercial merger between the pga tour and dp world tour, with liv golf's backers the saudi arabian public investment fund. england's reigning champion matthew fitzpatrick will feature in the 156—man field. organisers are hoping all the talk is about his defence, rather than anything else. once the balls go in the air,
8:39 am
the athletes take the narrative back and if you asked anyone to describe what the 2022 us open was all about, i don't think anyone would talk about the weekend before. they will talk about matthew fitzpatrick, a 9—iron out the bunker, the incredible theatre created thanks to the folks at the country club. i'm sure when we recap 2023, we will talk about what happened on the golf course and not what happened off the golf course. the la country club for the first time since 19118. i am heading to edgbaston to soak up the atmosphere. getting it started early in the morning on breakfast. i am notjealous at all! the women's ashes begins next week at trent bridge. i wonder if barbie had a cricket outfit. i think it is unlikely. i think it is unlikely. i am sure. lam sure. ithink i am sure. i think ken would have done. what,

64 years, commemorating a great ashes win? so many incarnations of barbie and ken. why are we talking about her? 64 years. a film is coming out starring margot robbie. we thought why is barbie so appealing? how was it carried on over such a long period? hannah can probably explain, surrounded by barbie stuff. surrounded by dolls. there has been a barbie tennis player, not sure about the cricket. surrounded by all kinds of dolls in the toy shop. we have a giant elsa. and we have belle, disney dolls. soft toys down here. and here, we have the one and only barbie. real name i did not

know until yesterday, barbara millicent roberts. around 100 of these are sold every minute. that equates to an incredible 58 million barbie dolls sold over the course of the year. she has inspired notjust other dolls but now a new film. as i have been finding out. can i come to your house tonight? i don't have anything big planned. just a giant blow—out party with all the barbies and planned choreography and a bespoke song. you should stop by. so cool. it's set to be one of the hottest films of the summer. barbie and ken enter the real world. what's going on? why are these men looking at me? and discover the highs and lows of life among humans. my heels are on the ground. so this has actually arrived today in the post. totally unexpected. it's what we call doll mail. at home in blackpool, clare�*s, part of a global community
8:42 am
of superfans who even buy each other barbie gifts. so it's come from dallas. a lovely lady called jess. do you know jess? i've never met her in person. i can't believe she sent me that. these are amazing. in just two years, she's amassed a collection of more than 1,000 barbies and shares their pictures on social media. what is it about barbie that's so great from your point of view? i think, for me, it's that draw back to childhood. and the fact that she is so varied and she has actually changed over the years, it kind of keeps irrelevant. it kind of keeps her relevant. and she's always got that iconic look that's pretty and uplifting and happy. as soon as you hold on to a barbie, it makes you feel happy. # barbie's small and so petite. # her clothes and figure look so neat #. - she's come a long way in the 60—plus years since this first ever advert — inspiring a hit single.
8:43 am
# i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world #. along with countless other dolls from her british rival, sindy. # it's gotta be sindy #. to the 21st century lol dolls. who wants extra fresh doughnuts? leaving many to believe toys like this will always have an enduring appeal. when it comes to doll play, it's such an evergreen, traditional play pattern and it also teaches kids some really important life skills. there have been studies done that show that doll play helps kids with their empathy and with their communication skills. and as she embarks on her latest adventure, the craze for perhaps the most famous doll of all is showing little sign of slowing down.

8:49 am
overnight temperatures, 9—14. as we head into tomorrow, cloud will quickly disperse. then we have another warm day for most but a weather front coming in from the west will introduce thicker cloud in northern ireland, wales, south—west england, and here we will see showers and some are likely to be possibly thundery. a warmer day along the north sea coastline. the top temperature still around 27, 28. into the weekend, high pressure is pushed away. low pressure comes in from the atlantic. you can see from the mild colours, we will pull in more humid conditions and some warm air. but we will have showers in the west and on sunday, showers and rain coming up from the south. on saturday, many eastern areas stay
8:50 am
dry with sunshine. some cloud from the north sea. out towards the west, we have showers and some of them will be thundery. these are the temperatures. 14—26 but humidity building. on sunday, a lot of dry weather. showers in the west. still the potential to be heavy and thundery. later in the day, more substantial rain looks like it will come up across england and wales. a humid day with a high of 24. have a lovely weekend. 40 years since it first hit the airwaves, come on, eileen is still on any party playlist. dexys midnight runners, they are back with brand—new music. now known as dexys.
