are you heading to the office this morning or working from home? research shows more of us are taking a flexible approach to ourjobs — but is it working? i'll take a look. good morning from edgbaston where the most anticipated ashes series in years gets under way in just a few hours. can england's new style of test cricket led by ben stokes beat australia in a series for the first time since 2015 and win back the famous urn? for many today, grey clouds will gather this weekend and many could see sundry rain. i will have the full forecast right here. it's friday, the 16th ofjune. the families of all three victims

killed in the nottingham attacks have addressed thousands at a vigil in the city centre. a minute's silence was held to remember students grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber, as well as ian coates, who was 65. police have been given more time to question a 31—year—old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder. our midlands correspondent navteonhal reports. bell tolls. silent, defiant, united. the people of nottingham chose to stand together in pain and love. for the first time since the tragic events of tuesday, at this vigil, we heard from all three families of those who died. starting with james coates, one of school caretaker ian coates�* three sons.

it feels like he has touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew he had. so it has been really nice and heart—warming to see the messages and that people come out and talk about how he was when they were younger and how he has helped them. some beautiful comments. my dad was an avid fisherman. he loved his family and he also loved his forest. you reds. others: you reds! applause. after hearing from the fathers of 19—year—olds barney webber and grace o'malley—kumar the day before, it was the turn of their mums to remember their children. he loved pesto pasta but he hated cottage pie. he was obsessed with aeroplanes and he still carried the dream of being a pilot in the raf one day. she also had a message for the crowd about the attacker. he isjust a person.

please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion. applause. i know silence is the traditional sign to show respect, and we've had that rightly so tonight. can ijust ask for you to do one, one more thing — to show us an enormous roar and round of applause for everyone affected by this tragedy. cheering. she was a treasured and adored child. she wanted very few things in life. she wanted to be a doctor. she wanted to have fun, because that's what all students want — they want to enjoy themselves. and all they were doing was walking home. were just walking home after a night out. grace wasn't only. just a sister to me.

she was a best friend of mine, my mother, j my father, all her friends. and if there's only one message that comes out of this, - l i urge you all to cherish every. moment you spend with your loved ones because you just never know when it will end. - thank you. after days of raw emotion, this city hopes it can soon begin to heal. navteonhal, bbc news, nottingham. our reporterjo black is in nottingham. good morning. amongst many other things, people seeing family members speaking for the first time. their remarkable bravery in being at those events and speaking publicly and explaining more about their loved ones. yes, of course, that vigil was really well attended with thousands of people here at the market square

in nottingham. we heard from the council leader, mp, faith leaders. we also heard from the family of the three victims from tuesday's attacks. what was striking, given their wells have been down world has been turned upside down, they had the courage to address the audience and talk about their feelings. we can see flowers and we have balloons. there are candles. candles are still burning on the steps outside the city council building. if you look here, nottingham forest fc, that is in relation to ian coates. we heard how he was a massive nottingham forest fan and we saw his son is wearing the forest tops with rip dad on the back. what is striking and sums up this week in nottingham, is this here. there is one word on that bunch of flowers

and it says heartbroken. we know that barnaby and grace and ian were huge sport fans. at edgbaston at the ashes test they will wear armbands and have a minute's silence. thank you very much. apologies, some problems with the line there. up to 100 children may have been on board the fishing boat that sank off southern greece on tuesday, killing at least 78 people. hundreds of migrants are still missing. nine people have been arrested on suspicion of people trafficking. sofia bettiza reports. relatives of the hundreds of feared dead raced to the port, fearing the worst. aftab is searching for news about his cousins from pakistan. my relatives were on the boat that capsized. how do you know that? we've got confirmation. we've found one of the relatives

is in there, but the rest we haven't got hold of yet. how many relatives? four of them. the victims of greece's worst ever migrant shipwreck had set off from libya. it's still unclear how many were on board. we understand that they travelled under very difficult conditions for many days, in conditions of overcrowding — you saw the photos. and at some point, they sent a distress call because they had problems with the engine. these are the circumstances that we've heard from the people. there were many on the boat, some 750, most of them men. but we heard that there were also some women and children, less in number. this doctor treated 30 of the survivors, mostly from hypothermia and dehydration, who told him dozens of children were on board. one told me about 100 children.

the other told me about 50. hanging over this tragedy is one simple question — should the greek authorities have done more to save those on board? the coastguard says the migrants didn't want their help — a claim that's been challenged. so we've been trying to piece together what exactly happened. at around 8am on tuesday, the greek authorities are first informed about the fishing vessel. the coastguard has first contact at 11am and claims it doesn't request assistance. a little later, an emergency helpline for migrants in trouble at sea receives multiple distress calls, including one at 3.20pm, saying the captain has left the vessel. bbc verify has used a ship—monitoring website to follow the movements of boats in the area that offered assistance.

at 3pm, greece sends a nearby commercial vessel, lucky sailor, to the migrant boat, supplying it with food and water. tuesday evening, a coastguard vessel sails near the fishing boat and, from a distance, apparently concludes there was no problem with its navigation. but less than four hours later, the migrant boat overturns and sinks. search operations continue today, but, as hours go by, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. sofia bettiza, bbc news, in southern greece. sofia bettiza joins us from kalamata in greece. we know the numbers at the moment. the official numbers. but what more are you hearing from where you are? good morning, here in greece three days of mourning have been declared

by the government and all political campaigning ahead of an election in ten days has been suspended. we understand some of the families of the people on board that capsized on wednesday have arrived here. today, a big search effort continues here. the european union sent manpower and resources to assist the greek authorities. this is a very complicated search operation because the location of that shipwreck happened in one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean. to give you a number, when the ship went down, it went on about 80 kilometres. nine people have been arrested, all from egypt, arrested on charges of human trafficking. you mentioned there are many things we do not have answers

to. the un estimates about 750 people were on the boat. the number who have died is 78 but the fear is the number could go up to 500. if thatis the number could go up to 500. if that is confirmed, it would make this one of the worst tragedies to ever happen in the mediterranean. a big search operation continues today. the boat capsized on wednesday and it is now friday so as time goes by, hopes of finding people alive at sea is fading. thank ou. conservative mps must decide whether or not to approve a highly critical report that found borisjohnson deliberately and repeatedly misled parliament about lockdown parties. the former prime minister branded the findings as "deranged". 0ur political correspondent leila nathoojoins us. good morning. people are familiar with the findings of the committee.

it is worth explaining the next step which is a vote in the house of commons. the consequences of this committee's report have had the wind sucked out of them if you like because boris johnson chose to resign rather than face thisjudgment. and johnson chose to resign rather than face this judgment. and the conclusions of it. the committee recommended his suspension from parliament, enough of a suspension to trigger a by—election. there will not now be that step but there will be a parliamentary moment on monday when mps get to vote to endorse the committee report or not. it will be a tricky decision for tory mps, many weighing up whether to back this conclusion or not. there is of course a loyal band of supporters, a dwindling number, but a loyal band of borisjohnson supporters in parliament to say this report was

vindictive, spiteful, overreached. who are questioning the committee's judgment. 0ne supporter of boris johnson is the former director of communications guto hari. the fact that they can _ communications guto hari. the fact that they can decide _ communications guto hari. the fact that they can decide on _ communications guto hari. the fact that they can decide on the - communications guto hari. the fact that they can decide on the process| that they can decide on the process and outcome that drives out a conservative member of parliament does look— conservative member of parliament does look like d process. one of the things— does look like d process. one of the things we _ does look like d process. one of the things we throw overboard far too easily— things we throw overboard far too easily in _ things we throw overboard far too easily in the uk is the idea of innocent _ easily in the uk is the idea of innocent until proven guilty, the idea that — innocent until proven guilty, the idea that you are represented by a lawyer— idea that you are represented by a lawyer when your livelihood is at stake _ lawyer when your livelihood is at stake the — lawyer when your livelihood is at stake. the idea that you have proper due process — stake. the idea that you have proper due process and the person who desires — due process and the person who desires is — due process and the person who desires is above reproach. i do not think— desires is above reproach. i do not think we _ desires is above reproach. i do not think we have met those standards on this occasion. tort,t think we have met those standards on this occasion-— this occasion. tory mps also making that argument _ this occasion. tory mps also making that argument in _ this occasion. tory mps also making that argument in parliament - this occasion. tory mps also making that argument in parliament and - this occasion. tory mps also making i that argument in parliament and some say they will vote against the report on monday. tory mps are not

forced to turn up to parliament. you have to think about the calculation. if they back the report, they might risk the anger of local conservative associations for whom boris johnson remains popular. if they do not back the report, they risk going into opposition of a parliamentary committee designed to uphold the properfunctioning of committee designed to uphold the proper functioning of parliament. committee designed to uphold the properfunctioning of parliament. i think you might find a lot of mps, including rishi sunak, find they have something rather important to do at that time.— at least 15 people have died after a crash in the canadian province of manitoba. police said the accident was between a truck and a bus, carrying mostly elderly people. at least ten people, including the two drivers, are in hospital with significant injuries. ufc fighter conor mcgregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman after a basketball game in miami last week. miami police and miami heat are investigating claims that a woman was violently assaulted in a men's bathroom

following an nba finals game. mr mcgregor denies the allegations. a mother campaigning to prevent the release of her daughter's killer is calling for common sense to prevail. diana parkes' daughter joanna simpson was bludgeoned to death by her husband, robert brown, in 2010. he was jailed for 26 years for manslaughter, but is due for early release in november. why are we stuck with this verdict? surely common sense should get in somewhere. you know, why isn't common sense playing part of the law? it doesn't seem to. that's what frightens me. he's dangerous. he's not only dangerous to us, he's dangerous to anybody he comes in contact with, any woman. you know, if he has a relationship with another woman, who knows what he might do? one of the largest mortgage lenders, nationwide, has announced it will be increasing rates again. the rise of 0.7% will take effect from today. the building society said that the changes were being made

to ensure it could serve all its customers. a new type of armoured dinosaur has been discovered on the isle of wight for the first time in more than 140 years. it was discovered in rocks dating back between 66 million and 145 million years. the species belongs to the plant—eating ankylosaur group. i hope i have pronounced that right. ankle—asaur. ankles are sore. that makes sense, that is how you will remember it. good morning to you. good morning. hope you are well and as well at

home, too. notice the hue in the sky with the sunrise, and indication air quality is not great across the uk right now. it will improve later this weekend. also some wildflower dustin this weekend. also some wildflower dust in the skies across western parts this morning. it is in the west where there will be more cloud and the chance of showers. elsewhere, a dry start, warming up quickly. humidity is starting to creep up after a fresh a few days. temperatures this afternoon widely into the mid 20s if not higher. we will finish the day with a scattering of showers in western areas. many will stay dry. where they occur there could be thunder and lightning with them. into western scotland, isolated showers cannot be ruled out. more develops

tonight across western areas. some drifting along southern counties of england. many will have a dry night. cool on eastern coast. the weekend, changes. showers across the western areas on saturday but by sunday, something from france could give more widespread rain which is good news for the gardens later on sunday. more details in about half an hour. let's take a look at today's papers. borisjohnson dominates the front pages following that report which found he misled parliament over partygate. just one word tells the story in the mirror — �*liar�* is written across an image of the former prime minister. "the most spiteful stitch—up in history of politics" is how the express describes the report's conclusions. the paper accused the report's authors of hounding mrjohnson. elsewhere, the times reports a blood test that can identify 50 cancers

will be introduced for a million people in england from next summer. it is expected to find 5000 cases of the disease every year. the telegraph features an image of oscar—winning actress and former labour mp glenda jackson, who has died aged 87. later, we'll be speaking to presenterjohn wilson, who interviewed glenda recently on radio 4. ido i do not want to be obsessed with the ankylosaur. did you want to talk about glenda jackson? this is from the obituaries inside the telegraph. it is an interesting read. all about her life, career as an actress and of course as a politician. in some of the detail here, things, you often read about

things. what i did not know about her life for example, when she was young, she was the eldest of four sisters, born on the wirral. her dad was a bricklayer, her mum a part—time cleaner. she went to the local grammar school where she said herself she was fat, shy and with acne. that is what she said. left with three 0—levels and was working at the local branch of boots when she joined an amateur dramatic society, loved it, went to drama school and it all happened subsequent to that. and made a mark on the world. both as an actress and then in politics. i am going back to the ankylosaurus. i am going back to the ankylosaurus. i like the word. it also has another name. it is named after professor

paul barrett, an expert in fossils at the natural history museum. these are just pretty birds. the people who named it named it after him. he said it was notable he hadn't had a dinosaur named after him and they said they wanted to thank him for his support so we decided to name a slow—moving, spiky organism after him. a slow—moving, spiky organism. if you want the easy name think of sore ankles, ankylosaurus. it must be great to have a dinosaur named after you. they might be a staple of the full english breakfast, but did you know that not a single baked bean has ever been grown in the uk? that could be about to change, though. reporter linsey smith has been to visit a farm in lincolnshire, where they're hoping a crop of specially bred beans will mark the start of home—grown beans on toast.

easy, cheap and super—quick. whether out of a tin or a pot, as a nation, we love baked beans. these students told us how they eat theirs. toastie — nice on a toastie. inside a toastie. yeah, with a bit of cheese on. i love it with bread or naan, i if you are familiar with that — a bread from india. just on toast, all the time. beans on toast, yeah. toast is the best. but who knew that all baked haricot beans are grown abroad — most in a field like this in north america? until now. i'll just show you some seed while it's near us. and in this hopper here. these seeds have been scientifically bred to enable them to grow in a british climate — that's never been done before. really exciting here. it's the first commercial—scale planting, field scale—planting

of a variety of beans, haricot beans, as they're termed, that could end up in a can on everybody�*s supper table. everybody has baked beans on toast at some point, maybe once a week or twice a week. children love them. for us to be able to grow the baked beans here means we haven't got to import beans from the other side of the world, which, again, is just fantastic for the environment. the seeds have been bred by scientists at warwick university. literally, a lifetime's work. the work that i've been involved in started in 2011 and, actually, was inheriting material that had been used here on the farm, on the university farm, in the 19705 and �*80s. they were put into storage and it was 2011 that i realised that there was some valuable material and i started reviving it. the beans available in supermarkets now have been shipped dried to the uk — at least 50,000 tonnes a day. growing them on british soil

will result in a carbon saving, although shipping has a smaller impact on climate change than flying food around the world. but there are other benefits. there's an urgency to cut costs. it's been a desperate desire of the british food industry and baked—bean manufacturers to have a british baked bean for decades. when i started in food policy 30...40 years ago, people were wanting this. so it's actually very important because it's crazy, shipping a little bean halfway around the world. the beans which are inside a pod like this, when fully grown, should be ready in august, providing we don't have a summer heatwave again. they could be inside a tin in your corner shop just 2a hours after arriving at a factory like this. linsey smith, bbc news. they are quintessentially british.

it does seem odd they are not grown here. coming up in the next half hour. are you getting ready for work this morning? how far is yourjourney to work? perhaps a few steps to the office where your computer is. more and more people are not returning to the office. we'll be discussing the pros and cons of working from home post—pandemic. it is particular fridays. 0ne it is particular fridays. one in seven people are in the office on a friday, as compared with how they previously would have been. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins — and a welcome to viewers in the south east this morning.

"the nhs is already one at the bottom of their table. of the safest places to give birth in the world and we are grateful to all midwives and maternity support workers for what they do." luton airport has seen a big jump in passenger numbers. more than 1.5 million people passed through it last month, according to the latest passenger figures. it's being put down to three bank holiday weekends, half—term and the new luton dart rail link. it means the total number of passengers in the year to date is nowjust over six million — an increase of 45% on the same period last year. biohackers from across europe will be coming to london this weekend to take part

we will start to notice a few changes across the capital. it will turn cooler and there could be some showers by the time we get to sunday. but for today, once more it is dry. we are set to keep the warmth as well. temperatures in double figures this morning. blue sky and sunshine throughout the morning lasting into the afternoon. a bit more in the way of fairweather cloud perhaps bubbling up here and there. top temperatures of around 27 or 28 celsius. but widely in the mid 20s. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high and the pollution levels are moderate. it's the same thing all over again overnight tonight, so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to around 10—13, 1a celsius maybe for some. and then on saturday while it stays dry, there will be some sunshine particularly through the afternoon, we could start to see a little bit more in the way of cloud. low pressure moves in from the west and that could produce some heavy, thundery downpours on sunday. we will have to make the most of saturday, then. that's it — if you want to catch up on some of the tributes paid

to the actress and north london mp glenda jackson who died yesterday head to our website. we're back in half an hour. see you then. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the time is 6:30am. thousands of people stood together in silence as a second vigil took place to remember those killed in the nottingham attacks. in an emotional tribute, the families of all three victims addressed the crowds ? with the mothers of barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, urging people to "hold no hate". choir vocalises if there is only one message that comes about like out of this i urge

from the head teacher of the school where ian was a well loved caretaker. it was good to hear from the vice chancellor of the university were not only have they lost to micro loved and successful students, but also came to the knowledge yesterday that the perpetrator was also a former student at the university. there is comfort to be taken from people coming together and also the biggest cheer of the day came from barnaby�*s mum in reaction to barnaby�*s mum when she said "don't hold hate in your heart, don't use this, as some people seem to be doing, as a reason to bang a drum in a way that is completely unhelpful. we are not a city of hate, we welcome people, we embrace people wherever they are from. and we will continue to do that, in spite of this awful week and what's happened here." you know one of the things _

and what's happened here." you know one of the things that _ and what's happened here." you know one of the things that i _ and what's happened here." you know one of the things that i struck - and what's happened here." you know one of the things that i struck me - one of the things that i struck me and i'm sure struck many people, is the fact the family members of those who have died have spoken publicly so soon and it matters, it matters to see them, and to push the message of being kind and to look after one another. the strength they have shown is remarkable, isn't it? it is remarkable and i don't know i could have done it in the same circumstances.— have done it in the same circumstances. �* �* , circumstances. but you're absolutely riaht, circumstances. but you're absolutely riuht, it circumstances. but you're absolutely right. it was — circumstances. but you're absolutely right. it was the _ circumstances. but you're absolutely right, it was the most _ circumstances. but you're absolutely right, it was the most powerful - circumstances. but you're absolutely right, it was the most powerful partl right, it was the most powerful part of the evening, which was all the way through and emotional all the way through and emotional all the way through. but the crowd here reacted so warmly to the family of ian, barnaby and grace as they bravely spoke to thousands of people. and i hope that in this dreadful situation they will take some comfort from the fact that people were standing with them and will continue to stand with them.

you know nottingham very well. you spoke about the spirit of nottingham and how it has come together in times of tragedy and difficulty before. how does nottingham move on? how does the community and move on and how does it remember those who lost their lives?— lost their lives? there is a sense of not wanting — lost their lives? there is a sense of not wanting to _ lost their lives? there is a sense of not wanting to move - lost their lives? there is a sense of not wanting to move on - lost their lives? there is a sense of not wanting to move on quite| lost their lives? there is a sense - of not wanting to move on quite yet. there is a sense of shock and we need to be able to continue to remember this and react to the tragic events to make sure, as we learn more about what has happened, that there are lessons to learn. we think it is a random attack from an individual working by himself. but the police haven't completed their inquiries yet so we will learn from that. but also there is a sense of of normal life continuing. we have a

market being set up here on the square, we have a tennis tournament going on in the city, we have got people going to school, going to work this morning, and i'm pleased that people feel there is an element of safety that they can do that and carry on with their lives. that's what our city is, it is a safe city. these things are so out of the ordinary, that's why they are so shocking. so i think there is a balance really in terms of continuing to stay in this moment of mourning and sadness and shock but also carrying on with lives in the normal way. also carrying on with lives in the normal way-— also carrying on with lives in the normalwa . ., . ., ~ normal way. councillor david mellen, nottinuham normal way. councillor david mellen, nottingham city's _ normal way. councillor david mellen, nottingham city's council _ normal way. councillor david mellen, nottingham city's council leader, - nottingham city's council leader, thank you very much for your time with us on breakfast this morning. the time now is 6.37. the weather is coming up for you a little later. i can tell you, looking outside the windows here in salford, it is a

rather still, beautiful, summer's morning, and as i look at my screen to the right i see a smiling mike busheu to the right i see a smiling mike busheuin to the right i see a smiling mike bushell in edgbaston ahead of the first day of the ashes. they have got the weather for it, haven't they, mike? broadcast interrupted by interference. but we don't have the technical remnants under control, do we? we obviously have some technical problems. he looked like he was in one of the stands. probably overlooking the ground as we were going to see, because i think actually one of the things about edgbaston is the atmosphere there is supposed to be fabulous and it is, especially considering what england is trying to do now, get the ashes back after the last time, 2015, there are going to be roars in the stadium. i know that mike is doing his best, his moving slightly closer to us down into the stands. shall we try to see if we can get to

mike? hello, mike, let's see if we can hear you. mike? hello, mike, let's see if we can hearyou. can mike? hello, mike, let's see if we can hear you. can you hear mike? hello, mike, let's see if we can hearyou. can you hear us? i can hearyou. can you hear us? i can, maybel can hearyou. can you hear us? i can, maybe i was a bit too far can hearyou. can you hear us? i can, maybe i was a bit too far away, on the australian players�* ballkani getting sneaky tips on how they might come out. we know they will come out on the back of the toss full of confidence and swagger because australia are the world test champions. but england now are themselves full of confidence playing this new style of one day like a cricket in the test format, in the test arena which has been so exciting and won so many admirers under ben stokes and coach brendon mccullum so england will be full of confidence that they can win a test series against australia since 2015 for the first time. you might be hear the roar behind me because look behind me, the covers are coming off, on this perfect pitch on a beautiful hot day. you would think if you win the toss you would bat first, and it would favour the batting team if they get a chance to build up a big score under such

conditions. what makes this series so anticipated is because it is so close to call, we don�*t know if england�*s new style will be too much for australia or whether they will be the ultimate test. what we know is australia will not find it easy. they haven�*t won an ashes test series in england in 22 years, is patrick gearey now reports. for 140 years after it began the two sides will meet today at edgbaston in the first test. it isa for 140 years, england and australia have been trying to settle an argument. the ashes, one of sport�*s oldest and fiercest contests, a series that produces immortal moments, and the canvas is clear to make more of them this summer. the picture is not quite how england had planned. there have been injuries in the build up. moeen ali, retired from test cricket, has had to be coaxed back. some of the personnel have changed. the strategy won�*t. over the past year, captain ben stokes, together with coach brendon mccullum, has led a revolution, encouraging his players not to fear failure but attack on instinct. it�*s changed everything we thought we knew about test match

cricket, but it�*s brought them plenty of wins and they won�*t be changing now. we have now found a way for us as a team to get the best out of ourselves as a collective, but also as individuals. and i think the message around are we still going to be playing like this against the australian attack or any other attack just sort of needs to be knocked on the head because we�*ve found a way that works for us. but here comes the problem — australia are on the charge. their fast bowlers are fearsome, their batters often awesome and they�*re newly crowned world test champions. you know, we feel like we've played really well over the last 18 months and not only do we have series wins to show for it, now we've got the world test championship. so i think there's a moment in time where you look back and show that our best is as good as anyone else's in the world. it�*s almost time for the talking to stop and the drama to begin. soon this place will be full and loud, and one of the most anticipated ashes series in years will be under way. patrick geary, bbc news, at edgbaston.

25,000 a day packed in here roaring england on and the wicket has now been revealed. live exclusively on breakfast! let�*s get the rest of the sport. the weekend will also see european championship qualifiers. scotland face norway and erling haaland tomorrow, but before that — three matches for the home nations tonight — northern ireland face their biggest test in qualifying, away to denmark and england have their manchester city treble—winners in the squad for the trip to malta. meanwhile, wales manager rob page insists his team can be a match for anybody as they prepare for a qualifier against armenia in cardiff later. wales have taken four points from the two qualifiers they�*ve played since their dissapointing showing at the world cup. we've got the disappointment of the world cup out of us now, out of the system. to start with that point against croatia felt like a win. and eventually the results will take care of themselves.

it's like friday's game. we can't worry about the opposition too much. we have to respect what they are all about but it's about us. and if we give the level of performance that i know we're capable of we'll be a match for anybody. tributes have been paid to the former scotland and manchester united and leeds defender gordon mcqueen — who has died aged 70, two years after being diagnosed with dementia. mcqueen picked up an fa cup winners medal with united during a seven—year spell at old trafford. team—mate and friend bryan robson said he was a brilliant person with a huge heart. he lit up any room he walked into and his family added: "we hope that, as well as creating many great football memories, he�*ll be remembered most for his character." and obviously our thoughts this morning with his family. gordon mcqueen. it was an incredible opening day at the golf�*s us open in los angeles. there were two holes—in—one, no less, on the 15th, while there were also two records — as leaders rickie fowler and xander schauffele scored the competition�*s first 625 in an unusually low—scoring

day in los angeles. former champion rory mcilroy is a notoriously slow starter in the majors, but there were very promising signs for him — he scored 65 — and hit five front—nine birdies — so he�*s just three shots off the lead as he looks to end his nine—year wait for a fifth major. back at edgbaston they are cutting the grass, i think probably for one last time but whatever you are today you don�*t need to miss a ball of the opening day of the ashes test because radio 5 live sports extra will have 5 live commentary on the whole series, test match special there, the whole team involved. wherever you are you don�*t have to miss any of the action because first of all the highlights on bbc two tonight at seven o�*clock but also if you have your phone with you you can get updated in play highlights, the key moments come on your phone, the bbc sport website where ever you are. 25,000 people here a day,

125,000 if it goes five days. and all of the cakes have been baked for the hospitality service. they grow their own lettuces and strawberries here as well. very self—sufficient! what excellent trivia, mike! he always has good trivia. excellent, i like that. we will see you later. 6.45. we are talking about working from home which became the norm during the pandemic for obvious reasons, there were restrictions. and then work offices and workplaces were urged to become more flexible because so many people found it easier to work from home with flexible living. hannah has taken a look at this because i think many people assumed that as soon as the pandemic was over people would be dashing back to the office, the office buildings, workplaces, wanting to have a chat but not necessarily the case. hot necessarily the case. not necessarily _ necessarily the case. not necessarily the _ necessarily the case. not necessarily the case -

necessarily the case. not necessarily the case at i necessarily the case. iirrt necessarily the case at all and finish early fridays, another thing some employers are offering now because they are so desperate to fill vacancies, they want to get people wishing early on a friday which is another thing people are keen to see. let�*s take a look. the way people work has changed. before lockdown, just one in eight people reported that they were able to work from a home office. but of course offices became empty once the pandemic struck — during the week in the first half of 2020. and based on the latest information, some of that has continued. four out of ten people now do some work from home, often with friday being the day not to come in. so which works better — the office or home? our business correspondent emma simpson has been finding out. lunchtime at a0 hq in bolton. lunchtime at a0.com hq in bolton. it�*s buzzing, just how the boss likes it.

some staff work from home full time, but he�*s banned hybrid working — a mix of being at home and in the office. from january, we basically said, right, it doesn�*t work. we�*ve got to get our priorities right here. and the priority is customers and culture. and so we need everybody in the office. you know, you can really feel the energy, people like coming in and there�*s a real togetherness to backing what we do. has it helped the business get back on track? for sure. ao�*s speed unquestionably underpins productivity without any doubt whatsoever. and economically, if you look at the country nationally at the minute, you know, we need productivity. we are in difficult times economically. and so it matters. he�*s not the only boss on a mission to get people into the office more. latest research suggests that offices are only around 30% full and about half of that on a friday. is this the new normal or is the balance going to change?

there's a real tension in the labour market at the moment between workers who are telling us overwhelmingly that they want to work flexibly and many bosses who want to see more of people in the office. that is being played out, up and down the country in all sorts of business. but what's interesting is workers at the moment hold a lot of power because there are over a million vacancies in the economy and many workers can call the shots. so much has changed after covid. freya summers works four days a week at home in nottingham and one day in the office. how�*s life in the office? she had to give up her career as a lawyer. too many hours for a young mum, but she�*s back in the game now, thanks to hybrid working. it has meant that i can, firstly, do the job that i trained for a long time to do and that i wanted to do since i was 16. but it�*s also meant that i can more effectivelyjuggle that with having two small kids. are you as productive?

yes, i�*m actually more productive at home than i am in the office. it�*s beneficial for the firm. it�*s beneficial for us. and i just think the world has hugely changed. not everyone can work from home. freya�*s managing it, but the debate is hotting up on how hybrid working is playing out. emma simpson, bbc news, nottingham. so is your boss trying to get you to come into the office? or have you got a perfect work life balance being able to do both? we�*d love to hear how you work now. you can scan the qr code and it will start a chat with us. you can also get in touch by e—mail and on twitter. there is also debate about what careers can be chosen by young people, can they work from home, will they have to go into city centres? but it is too soon to fully

know what the impact of working from home and hybrid working has been. and we should say that if you are supposed to be working then you shouldn�*t be taking time off to be texting or downloading the app to send a message to bbc breakfast. frankly you should be getting on with your work whether you are at home or at work. unless your work day starts later. so you can indulge with some communication with us before. yes, but don�*t get yourself into trouble by sending a picture of yourself lounging around at home when you are supposed to be working. that is a very good point. someone who never lounges around but i�*m hoping will offer some words of reassurance. that, i know you are looking at a lack of rainfall at the moment. but i am a little concerned because i fully enjoyed the latest hot spell and i fear it will not last. you need a little bit of rain, let�*s be honest but there will be some more sunshine to come, we are only still early in the summer but look at how many days we have gone

without rain in some parts of the uk, parts of kent now, 33 days. that could change this weekend as naga has hinted. there is some rain, this is the rainfall forecast over the next few days, the blues appearing in the west shows the rainfall level will tot up with a few showers and becoming more widespread on sunday but some areas will avoid rain even this weekend. that will be the case today, a warm and sunny and hot day today, but humid, shower is fairly limited to western areas and even here they will be isolated, too. bringing that change is the sweep of cloud you can see on the satellite imagery linked into an area of low pressure spinning out in the atlantic at the moment. it is only making slow progress towards us so some western progress towards us so some western areas progress towards us so some western areas will see more cloud develop through the day, a few showers in south—west england and south—west wales and later developing in northern ireland. one or two showers in western scotland, wales and western parts of england. where you see them they will be pretty lively but the heaviest showers will be

across northern ireland. that will peg back the pollen levels are touch but with the peak grass season with us high or very high levels for most. and again another very warm day out there, temperatures in the mid to high 20s. we could see 27,20 8 degrees and a slightly humid feel with it. into tonight, showers and western areas become a bit more widespread. some heavy ones, fundamentally towards parts of ireland, and temperatures sitting in the mid—teens, always a bit fresher, more comfortable down eastern coast of scotland and eastern england. tomorrow they could be mist and fog around orkney and shetland, most will have another sunny day. southern and western areas, bit more cloud, the sunshine hazy where you see it. showers well scattered across the west, not everybody seeing them, but where you do especially in northern ireland they will come with some rumbles of thunder. the temperatures are dropping by saturday afternoon. but as i said the humidity has started to lift up and as we go into the evening it will still be quite warm,

some further showers in the west, but some low cloud and a sea fog creeping in towards the east. and on sunday we cast our eyes to the south, weather system pushing up, which could bring more widespread rain through sunday. a dry start for many, a few showers in the south—west to begin with but across ireland, england and wales we will see some rain develop a bit more widely, not for everyone, but where you see the rain it could be heavy and thundery, too. temperatures dropping but when the sunshine breaks through it will feel very humid. and dry weather back next week. back to you both. matt, thanks very much. the hazel dormouse is one of britain�*s least—seen woodland creatures ? not because of their size, but because they�*re numbers have dropped significantly, due to habitat loss and climate change. for the past 30 years a project has been working to bring them back to large parts of england and wales. our midlands correspondent phil mackie joined the team in derbyshire as they released 38 dormice into their new home. we�*ve got pair number one.

a precious cargo hasjust arrived from london. each of these nest boxes contains two or three hazel dormice. these volunteers at calke abbey are taking them to their new woodland home. there we are. all right. dormice can catch bugs from humans, hence the gloves and masks. ian white has a special dormouse handling licence. so welcome to your new home. welcome to derbyshire. so this is twiglet who's the first of the dormice who's going to see his new home. he's got a partner. that's flora. she's still in a box around the corner. she's a little bit shy, but hopefully by the end of the day,

all of these new dormice will be reintroduced initially in cages, and ultimately it's hoped they will roam free. all around the wood they�*re getting the cages ready for the nest boxes. they�*ll stay here for ten days, gradually getting more time to come out and enjoy the neighborhood. behind me, we've got a soft release cage and we've got some volunteers just putting some vegetation - in so that the dormice when they go into the cage have got someone to climb about and move - around in the cage. so everything�*s going to work out fine? well, you've always gor your fingers crossed. i it's working with nature - is working with wild animals, it's working with volunteers, it's working with people - and it's working with - the natural environment. so we think we've got it pretty, pretty well nailed in terms - of how to make it work. but there's always variables. you can never 100% guarantee it, i but we think we've got a pretty. good idea of what we're doing and how to make it work. - this is how the new dormouse colony in derbyshire will look. it�*s footage from their nearest neighbours over in nottinghamshire. dormice are nocturnal and hibernate, which is where they get their reputation for sleepiness. it looks absolutely fantastic on a perfect day like this, doesn�*t it? but what�*s more important for the dormice is that this is going to be filled with all of the food that they absolutely love. and there's been a lot of work gone

on in this area of the midlands - in particular because i of the national forest and the growth of that. and the 30 years that's been going has meant that there's this huge corridor of green space that the dormice can move into. i you can cut the branches and make a nice kind of feature. john�*s team of volunteers will be keeping tabs on the animals. now they�*re here. a little bit for shade, a little bit to keep them cool, and also to protect them from owls or anything else that might be flying past giving them a bit of a shock. they�*ll be doing everything from making their cages homely to carefully measuring out their meals. and hopefully they will live happily ever after. twiglet looked a bit startled, didn�*t he? really, he�*d have preferred to have been curled up asleep as it was the middle of the day. this is one of over 1,000 dormice which have been successfully reintroduced in england and wales. rhythmic whistling and that whistling noise? that�*s the sound of a dormouse snoring. phil mackie, bbc news, derbyshire. i never knew their tales were like that. i would have called that more of a squeak than a whistle.

i think technically it is snoring. i still think they are very cute but even their snoring is annoying. it would be, wouldn�*t it? maybe not to other dormice. we will be back at seven o�*clock with the headlines. find out what is happening wherever you are with news, travel and weather. hello, good morning from bbc london, i�*m victoria hollins. and a welcome to viewers in the south east this morning. staff shortages are taking their toll on london maternity staff, with more than three—quarters in the capital saying they always or often faced excessive workloads and demands on their time. the royal college of midwives survey also found that nearly two—thirds felt burnt—out or exhausted at the end of their shift, putting london at the bottom of their table. in response the government told us...

the family of a man shot dead as he left his home in lambeth have made a fresh appeal for information, two years after his murder. 27—year—old matthias poleon was attacked without warning by two suspects wearing facemasks on the front drive of his balham home injune 2021. his mother has said she is broken and devastated beyond words. today crimestoppers is offering up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of anyone linked to matthias�*s murder. households in parts of kent and sussex facing another day without water have been told it may be sunday before their supply is restored. south east water says people in wadhurst should have supplies restored by the end of today. however it could be the end of the weekend before homes in crowborough, rotherfield and mayfield are reconnected. the company has blamed high demand and the dry weather for the problems.

let�*s take a look at the tubes. there�*s a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the district line which currently has delays. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. not too much to say about today�*s weather, other than that it�*s looking very similar to how it was yesterday, and of course the day before that, too. but over the weekend we will start to notice a few changes across the capital. it will turn cooler and there could be some showers by the time we get to sunday. but for today, once more it is dry. we are set to keep the warmth as well. temperatures in double figures this morning. blue sky and sunshine throughout the morning lasting into the afternoon. a bit more in the way of fairweather cloud perhaps bubbling up here and there. top temperatures of around 27 or 28 celsius. but widely in the mid—20s. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high and the pollution levels are moderate.

it�*s the same thing all over again overnight tonight, so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to around 10—13, 14 celsius maybe for some. and then on saturday while it stays dry, there will be some sunshine particularly through the afternoon, we could start to see a little bit more in the way of cloud. low pressure moves in from the west and that could produce some heavy, thundery downpours on sunday. that�*s it — if you want to catch up on some of the tributes paid to the actress and north london mp glenda jackson who died yesterday head to our website. we�*re back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines. the families of all three victims killed in the nottingham attack unite in grief at a second vigil in the city.

i urge you all to cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. as you just never know when it will end. thank you. survivors of the greek migrant boat tragedy say up to 100 children may have been on board as hopes fade of finding any more people alive. conservative mps must decide whether to approve a report condemning borisjohnson for misleading parliament over covid rule—breaking. remembering glenda jackson�*s passion and purpose as the actress and former mp dies at the age of 87. and other warm and sunny day across much of the uk but as we go into the weekend, if your garden is looking dry, more of them could see welcome rain. all the details. coming up later.

it�*s friday, the 16th ofjune. our main story. the families of all three victims killed in the nottingham attacks have addressed thousands at a vigil in the city centre. a minute�*s silence was held to remember students grace o�*malley—kumar and barnaby webber, as well as ian coates, who was 65. police have been given more time to question a 31—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder. our reporter is in nottingham. a huge support for families last night, who came out and spoke to the crowds. . . , night, who came out and spoke to the crowds. . ., , ., crowds. that was well attended, the vi . il last crowds. that was well attended, the vigil last night _ crowds. that was well attended, the vigil last night at _ crowds. that was well attended, the vigil last night at the _ crowds. that was well attended, the vigil last night at the market - vigil last night at the market square. thousands turned out. we heard from families. they spoke so eloquently about their loved ones and what struck many people here is they have the courage to do so. when

they have the courage to do so. when they finished, they came down here and started talking to members of the public who wanted to chat to them and give them hugs. bell tolls. silent, defiant, united. the people of nottingham chose to stand together in pain and love. for the first time since the tragic events of tuesday, at this vigil, we heard from all three families of those who died. starting with james coates, one of school caretaker ian coates�* three sons. it feels like he has touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew that he had. so it has been really nice and heart—warming to see the messages and the people come out and talk about how he was when they were younger

and how he has helped them. some beautiful comments. my dad was an avid fisherman. he loved his family and he also loved his forest. you reds. others: you reds! applause. after hearing from the fathers of 19—year—olds barney webber and grace o�*malley—kumar the day before, it was the turn of their mums to remember their children. he loved pesto pasta but he hated cottage pie. he was obsessed with aeroplanes and he still carried the dream of being a pilot in the raf one day. she also had a message for the crowd about the attacker. he isjust a person. please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion. applause. i know silence is the traditional sign to show respect, and we�*ve had

that rightly so tonight. can ijust ask for you to do one, one more thing — to show us an enormous roar and round of applause for everyone affected by this tragedy. cheering. she was a treasured and adored child. she wanted very few things in life. she wanted to be a doctor. she wanted to have fun, because that's what all students want — they want to enjoy themselves. and all they were doing was walking home. were just walking home after a night out. grace wasn't only. just a sister to me, she was a best friend of mine, my mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's only one message that comes out of this, - l i urge you all to cherish every. moment you spend with your loved ones as you just neverj

know when it will end. thank you. after days of raw emotion, this city hopes it can soon begin to heal. navteonhal, bbc news, nottingham. here in the centre of nottingham, people are starting to go about their daily lives within independent market setting up over there. here, you can see the blanket of flowers over here and over there. and there are candles and also lots of nottingham forest scarves. we know that ian coates was a huge nottingham forest fan and we saw his son wearing shirts with rip dad written on the back. there is a bouquet with one word which sums up what the week has been like. it says heartbroken. we know that all three

victims, they were sport fans and we are told that the ashes game between england and australia at edgbaston later, players will wear black arm bands and there will be a minute cosmic silence. so the tribute still come and i think they will come for a long time. come and i think they will come for a long time-— up to 100 children may have been on board the fishing boat that sank off southern greece on tuesday, killing at least 78 people. hundreds of migrants are still missing. nine people have been arrested on suspicion of people trafficking. sofia bettiza reports. relatives of the hundreds of feared dead raced to the port, fearing the worst. aftab is searching for news about his cousins from pakistan. my relatives were on the boat that capsized. how do you know that? we�*ve had confirmation. we�*ve found one of the relatives is in there, but the rest we haven�*t got hold of yet. how many relatives? there�*s four of them. the victims of greece�*s worst ever migrant shipwreck had set off from libya. it�*s still unclear how

many were on board. we understand that they travelled under very difficult conditions for many days, in conditions of overcrowding — you saw the photos. and at some point, they sent a distress call because they had problems with the engine. these are the circumstances that we�*ve heard from the people. there were many on the boat, some 750, most of them men. but we heard that there were also some women and children, less in number. this doctor treated 30 of the survivors, mostly from hypothermia and dehydration, who told him dozens of children were on board. one told me about 100 children. the other told me about 50. hanging over this tragedy is one simple question — should the greek authorities have

done more to save those on board? the coastguard says the migrants didn�*t want their help — a claim that�*s been challenged. so we�*ve been trying to piece together what exactly happened. at around 8am on tuesday, the greek authorities are first informed about the fishing vessel. the coastguard has first contact at 11am and claims it doesn�*t request assistance. a little later, an emergency helpline for migrants in trouble at sea receives multiple distress calls, including one at 3.20pm, saying the captain has left the vessel. bbc verify has used a ship—monitoring website to follow the movements of boats in the area that offered assistance. at 3pm, greece sends a nearby commercial vessel, lucky sailor, to the migrant boat, supplying it with food and water. tuesday evening, a coastguard vessel sails near the fishing boat and,

from a distance, apparently concludes there was no problem with its navigation. but less than four hours later, the migrant boat overturns and sinks. search operations continue today, but, as hours go by, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. sofia bettiza, bbc news, in southern greece. conservative mps must decide whether or not to approve a highly critical report that found borisjohnson deliberately and repeatedly misled parliament about lockdown parties. the former prime minister branded the findings as "deranged". our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us. people have digested quite a bit of the findings of the committee that borisjohnson deliberately, repeatedly misled parliament. but

this is a step in the process. it goes to a vote. do you want to explain that?— goes to a vote. do you want to explain that? goes to a vote. do you want to exlain that? ., ., ._ , ., explain that? there was always going to be a parliamentary _ explain that? there was always going to be a parliamentary moment - explain that? there was always going to be a parliamentary moment when | to be a parliamentary moment when after the committee published the report, mps would vote on the findings. some of the heat has been taken out of that vote because boris johnson chose to resign before the judgment was delivered. the committee recommended as part of the conclusion that he should be suspended from parliament and that would have paved the way for a by—election. we will get one anyway because boris johnson by—election. we will get one anyway because borisjohnson stood down voluntarily, but i think that would have been a bigger decision for mps that would put them in a bigger dilemma whether to back the committee report and therefore send borisjohnson effectively packing. now, all they have to do to effectively endorse the report, endorse the conclusions. there are mps, some of borisjohnson�*s loyal

backers who criticise the committee. i suspect only a handful will vote against it because to do so, remember, would be to vote against the findings of a parliamentary committee whose job it is to uphold the properfunctioning of the proper functioning of parliament, the properfunctioning of parliament, so quite a decision to vote against it. the more likely outcome is mps, after taking the temperature in their constituencies this weekend because some conservative associations will still be supportive of borisjohnson who has a lot of support among the membership, but i think after thinking things through over the weekend some mps might find they have something urgent that has come up have something urgent that has come up instead. they will not be forced to be in parliament and they cannot turn up to the vote or they can abstain and i think many will not want to nail their colours to the mast rather than come down definitively. at least 15 people have died after a crash in the canadian

province of manitoba. police said the accident was between a truck and a bus, carrying mostly elderly people. at least ten people, including the two drivers, are in hospital with significant injuries. ufc fighter conor mcgregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman after a basketball game in miami last week. miami police are investigating claims that a woman was violently assaulted in a men�*s bathroom following an nba finals game. mr mcgregor denies the allegations. more than 170,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in india and pakistan after a cyclone hit the two countries. cyclone biparjoy has brought gale force winds and heavy rains. arunoday mukharji sent this report from gujarat. we are in a town half a block away. this is what it looks like. very hard to stand. we are across the road, we tried to cross the road because there is another shelter over here but it was very difficult

to cross the road. as you see behind me, the wind was coming in this direction and is very strong. so far, overthe direction and is very strong. so far, over the past 36 hours, we have seen bursts of rainfall. it was happening in batches. heavy rain and thenit happening in batches. heavy rain and then it would subside. this is the longest spell in the last 36 hours and these are the after—effects of the cyclone 50 kilometres from where we are. so you can imagine, if it is like this here, 50 kilometres away, imagine what it would be like where the cyclone has been passing. lode imagine what it would be like where the cyclone has been passing. we are amazed at the — the cyclone has been passing. we are amazed at the conditions. _ the cyclone has been passing. we are amazed at the conditions. you - the cyclone has been passing. we are amazed at the conditions. you can . amazed at the conditions. you can understand the devastation with 170,000 evacuated. nothing like that here, obviously. but unbelievable scenes. very rare

to get cyclones in that part of pakistan. the storm system is keeping strength as it moves along the borders of india over the next couple of days so more impacts to come. ourweather couple of days so more impacts to come. our weather is almost the opposite, like a millpond in the harbour in hartlepool. blue skies overhead. another hot and sunny day for many. we are seeing more cloud in cornwall into the south—west of wales. that will bring morning showers. showers and thunderstorms developing across ireland will drift northwards. while many will be sunny across england, wales and scotland, there will be isolated showers in there will be isolated showers in the west. humidity levels are creeping up. even though temperatures are down, it still feels warm out there. into the evening rush hour we will see more

showers developing. isolated in western parts but more towards the far west of wales and in towards northern ireland. across ireland the greater chance of thunder. showers across the west and south. but many will be dry with a humid night with temperatures away from eastern coasts in the mid—teens. the weekend, changes will be gradual. slow moving. more showers across western areas. sunday, another system from france could give more rain but even then some gardens will be staying dry. sewage spilling into our rivers and beaches has become an all too familiar headline over the years — but now artificial intelligence could help bring an end to the problem, predicting when, and where, it�*s happening. it�*s part of a new pilot project in devon, which uses

the technology to sound the alarm before pollution hits. our environment correspondentjonah fisher has been finding out more. it looks nice from a distance, but, for years, the water at the beach at combe martin, has been problematic. if people are bathing in bad water quality, they�*re obviously going to pick up bacteria — stomach problems, eye infections, all those sort of things. twice in the last five years, contamination from sewage, dog faeces and agriculture meant the environment agency advising people not to swim. not a great advert for a town that relies on holiday—makers. there is very much a community fear about what would happen if the bathing water quality was actually suddenly rescinded. and it�*s about the tourism industry, but also they care about the natural environment as well. combe martin�*s problems have attracted an innovative project, using cutting—edge technology to try to clean things up. the river umber is seen

as the main route for pollution to get to the beach. this water sensor is one of a network of sensors that have been deployed in the catchment area. they include soil sensors and rain gauges, as well. the idea is that all that information is brought together to try to more accurately predict when and where pollution events and sewage spills are likely to take place. the floating sensors are solar—powered and connected both to a mobile and a long—range wifi network. every hour, they send in data on six key indicators — a snapshot of the health of the water. what would you expect to see here if, for example, sewage was being discharged upstream? yeah, so we would see spikes in things like ammonia and ph, and we can also then cross—reference that with temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. so you�*d have a pretty clear

indication almost immediately that something was going wrong? yeah, exactly that. the information from the sensors is then combined with satellite imagery to see in advance if, for example, a farmer is about to unwittingly pollute the river. we can see where people have actually put certain stuff on the fields that are changing the growth pattern and, actually, you know, are they putting too much on the field? is it too rich that�*s washing off into the systems? you know, we can detect all those sort of things from space. computer systems company cgi developed the artificial intelligence part of the project, uploading data about past spills so the programme can learn and raise the alarm about possible pollution in the future. the idea is to very much scale and roll this out to different parts of the uk and we�*ve already begun some of those conversations with different county councils

that are interested. it�*s a lot easier to prevent it than actually try to sort of deal with it once the incident�*s occurred. all this tech isn�*t cheap. a water sensor alone costs about £2,000, but with billions of pounds of our money set to be spent on upgrading the sewage network, this sort of approach could have a wider role to play in warning us about pollution before it hits our rivers and beaches. jonah fisher, bbc news, in north devon. we are going to spend a moment or two reflecting on the life of glenda jackson, who died yesterday at the age of 87. oscar—winning, one of the most successful actors. she hit the stage and screen in the 50s and quit when she took up politics as mp for

hampstead. she said an actor�*s life was not interesting. she went back to it in later life. take the dagger in both hands and push it through his flesh. and then i shall hear what he has to say to me. screams my god, when i think of you and your world and your wretched coal mine it makes my heart sick. you�*re so limited, you�*re a dead end, you cannot love. and you? i could never love you. if that is your opinion you had better hide your face indeed. your majesty has only to say. i have said! you must be hungry for something. that's true. laughter

amazing return to the screen and stage that had happened after 23 years away, as a politician. you are riuht. we years away, as a politician. you are right- we are _ years away, as a politician. you are right. we are seeing _ years away, as a politician. you are right. we are seeing images - years away, as a politician. you are right. we are seeing images of- years away, as a politician. you are j right. we are seeing images of that performance you mentioned. you mention how formidable she was. she had a reputation for not suffering falls, being plain speaking —— suffering fools. it falls, being plain speaking -- suffering fools.— falls, being plain speaking -- suffering fools. it came across in her politics- _ suffering fools. it came across in her politics. that _ suffering fools. it came across in her politics. that moment - suffering fools. it came across in her politics. that moment which | her politics. that moment which occurred in the house of commons i think it was possibly two days after mrs thatcher had died. of course, a lot of mps arriving in the house of commons, particularly on the tory benches, paying tribute to a woman who had changed politics, who was astonishing in herfield. glenda jackson stood up and said you have to remember the division, what she

did for society, education. to remember the division, what she did forsociety, education. she absolutely tore into margaret thatcher�*s reputation and finished ijy thatcher�*s reputation and finished by saying, paying tribute to i think she said the first prime minister deputed by the female gender but a woman not on my terms. it was in this. ~ . ~ woman not on my terms. it was in this. ~ . ,, ., ., ., this. we were talking about what a formidable character _ this. we were talking about what a formidable character she _ this. we were talking about what a formidable character she was, - formidable character she was, formidable character she was, formidable presence she has. i would like to know how you prepare for an interview with linda jackson but shall we share a part of that interview when she talks about awards in typical fashion. interview when she talks about awards in typicalfashion. you awards in typical fashion. you cannot use — awards in typical fashion. you cannot use them _ awards in typical fashion. you cannot use them to _ awards in typical fashion. you cannot use them to be - awards in typical fashion. gm. cannot use them to be better at what you are trying to do. they are very nice to have. all awards are very nice to have. all awards are very nice to have. but they do not... they don�*t make you any better. hot they don't make you any better. not as an actor— they don't make you any better. not as an actor but actors would say you

loved. she said the best director�*s note she got was from eric morecambe who simply said faster, louder. she did it faster, louder, it was perfect. that was playing cleopatra. dig out that clip. it is on youtube. you laugh aloud watching it. wejust played a bit of it and i am sure people will be digging it out. morecambe and wise, glenda jackson, what more could you want? it is a pleasure to talk to you and what an honour for you to spend time with her. thank you so much. john wilson, and the full interview with glenda jackson is available on bbc iplayer. she was working until recently. she did a film with michael caine. and she went back on stage with king lear. coming up in the next half hour. from pub landlord, to king we�*ll be

joined by comedian al murray ahead of his west end appearance, telling the story of one of story not well known. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i�*m victoria hollins — and a welcome to viewers in the south east this morning. staff shortages are taking their toll on london maternity staff, with more than three—quarters in the capital saying they always or often faced excessive workloads and demands on their time. the royal college of midwives survey also found that nearly two—thirds felt burnt out or exhausted at the end of their shift, putting london at the bottom of their table. in response the government told us: "the nhs is already one of the safest places to give birth in the world and we are grateful to all midwives and maternity

support workers for what they do." the family of a man shot dead as he left his home in lambeth have made a fresh appeal for information, two years after his murder. 27—year—old matthias poleon was attacked without warning by two suspects wearing facemasks on the front drive of his balham home injune 2021. his mother has said she is "broken" and "devastated beyond words". households in parts of kent and sussex facing a sixth day without water have been told it may be sunday before their supply is restored. south east water says people in wadhurst should have supplies restored by the end of today. but it could be the end of the weekend before homes in crowborough, rotherfield and mayfield are reconnected. the company has blamed high demand and the dry weather for the problems. luton airport has seen a big jump in passenger numbers. more than 1.5 million people passed through it last month, according to the latest passenger figures.

the 45% jump is being put down to three bank holiday weekends, half—term and the new luton dart rail link. it means 6 million passengers have now travelled so far this year. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. it is just the district line that has minor delays. that takes us to the weather with elisabetta bertini. —— elizabeth rossini. hello there. good morning. not too much to say about today�*s weather, other than that it�*s looking very similar to how it was yesterday, and of course the day before that, too. but over the weekend we will start to notice a few changes across the capital. it will turn cooler and there could be some showers by the time we get to sunday. but for today, once more it is dry. we are set to keep the warmth as well. temperatures in double figures this morning. blue sky and sunshine throughout the morning lasting into the afternoon. a bit more in the way of fairweather cloud perhaps bubbling up here and there. top temperatures of around 27 or 28 celsius. but widely in the mid—20s. the uv levels are high,

the pollen levels are very high and the pollution levels are moderate. it�*s the same thing all over again overnight tonight, so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to around 10—13, 14 celsius maybe for some. and then on saturday while it stays dry, there will be some sunshine particularly through the afternoon, we could start to see a little bit more in the way of cloud. low pressure moves in from the west and that could produce some heavy, thundery downpours on sunday. we will have to make the most of saturday. that�*s it — if you want to catch up on some of the tributes paid to the actress and north london mp glenda jackson who died yesterday head to our website. bbc.co.uk/ london. we are back in half an hour. we will see you then. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we�*ve been hearing more devestating details this morning about the fishing boat, carrying

migrants, that sank on tuesday. the boat�*s engine failed off the southwestern coast of greece, near the town of pylos. up up to 100 children may have been on board and thought to have been travelling in the hold. at least 78 people are known to have died but hundreds more are still missing. a hospital doctor treated some of those rescued. it was a very difficult time for us us because we have to face a difficult situation. many people had many problems and we supported them as much as we could. it was a tragedy. everyone in europe must not accept this situation. we have to do

something. everyone has to do something. everyone has to do something in orderfor this not to happen again. we�*rejoined now by matthew saltmarsh from the unhcr the un�*s refugee agency, which has teams working in kalamata at the moment. we heard from one of the doctor is trying to help those rescued. i don�*t know what information you have had this morning in terms of the numbers of people on board and those who may have lost their lives. is there any new information? the first thin to there any new information? the first thing to say — there any new information? the first thing to say is _ there any new information? the first thing to say is this _ there any new information? the first thing to say is this is _ there any new information? the first thing to say is this is a _ there any new information? the first thing to say is this is a horrific, - thing to say is this is a horrific, truly tragic shipwreck in the med and our thoughts are with all of those impacted, especially the families waiting for news from relatives in greece at the moment. in terms of the updates i think it is probably the information that you have already, our last update is that 78 people are now dead, over 100 have been rescued and the others are still missing and we don�*t know exactly how many were on the boat. the reports say that there were between 400 and 700 on the boat, but i think what is clear is that this

boat was clearly unseaworthy and massively overcrowded and it should never have been on the mediterranean. figs never have been on the mediterranean.- never have been on the mediterranean. ~ , , ., mediterranean. as you say, in amonust mediterranean. as you say, in amongst some _ mediterranean. as you say, in amongst some very _ mediterranean. as you say, in | amongst some very distressing information, not yet confirmed, there are suggestions there may have been many children on board as well. that�*s right, we have seen those reports and our staff are in greece and have had access to some of the survivors and we know there are a handful of teenagers who are with those who have been rescued. that is particularly alarming if there were children in the hold of those reports are correct. can children in the hold of those reports are correct.- children in the hold of those reports are correct. can you give us a sense of— reports are correct. can you give us a sense of the — reports are correct. can you give us a sense of the kind _ reports are correct. can you give us a sense of the kind of _ reports are correct. can you give us a sense of the kind of work - reports are correct. can you give us a sense of the kind of work the - a sense of the kind of work the people you have there are doing? £31!" people you have there are doing? our staff have people you have there are doing?

support because it is acutely traumatic event to have gone through. you need to remember that the people who got onto that boat, they were notjust the people who got onto that boat, they were not just taking a the people who got onto that boat, they were notjust taking a trip from north africa, they will have come from different parts of the world, they will have had a really arduous journeys to get to the port of embarkation and so, you know, they will have been through so much, then these tragic events followed. you may not want to get directly involved in the questions knocking around in relation to what the authorities did when the first distress calls came out, and there is some confusion over the timeline but clearly there are issues around how to handle a situation like this. this is a big vessel, isn�*t it? an alarm call had gone out. number one, what do you know about that sequence? and how can this possibly be avoided? it is sequence? and how can this possibly be avoided? , , sequence? and how can this possibly be avoided?— be avoided? it is very difficult to sa at be avoided? it is very difficult to say at this _ be avoided? it is very difficult to say at this stage _ be avoided? it is very difficult to say at this stage because - be avoided? it is very difficult to say at this stage because there l be avoided? it is very difficult to i say at this stage because there are conflicting reports. we need to see

exactly what happened and find that out. and we along with others, are also calling for investigations into that. so let�*s see what happens on that. so let�*s see what happens on that side. but i think the broader point is that so much more needs to be done to address these issues in general. the first thing is search and rescue. they need to be much better organised search and rescue, state backed, coordinated regional disembarkation points in europe, and much more can be done on that. in terms of asylum, efficiency and processing there is more work to do there. and of course relocation of those who do have genuine asylum claims so that those front line states in europe, greece, italy and malta don�*t have to shoulder the responsibility themselves. and i think it�*s important to stress, not everyone has a valid asylum claim. so there should be the possibility to return those who don�*t have valid asylum claims. however, we and others all stress that so much more

can be done by europe to create legal pathways for migrants and for refugees and asylum seekers to travel in safety and to rebuild their lives. and that�*s notjust refugees. that can be labour schemes, mobility schemes, there is an awful lot more that can be done there. and finally there is the question of smuggling. the models of the smugglers are very adaptive, they are very exploitative, and so international coordination really needs to come together around that issue as well. needs to come together around that issue as well-— issue as well. matthew salt marsh, thank ou issue as well. matthew salt marsh, thank you very _ issue as well. matthew salt marsh, thank you very much. _ issue as well. matthew salt marsh, thank you very much. matthew- issue as well. matthew salt marsh, thank you very much. matthew salt marsh is with the unhcr, just to bring the latest information in connection with the fishing boat. as he was explaining, the latest information is 78 people have died but the fear is that there may have been up to 750 people on board meaning a lot of people on board as it stands are not accounted for. it

is 7.38, good morning. mike is not in the studio because he has gone to edgbaston where the cricket, the ashes, will finally get under way. this is going to be a real kind of grudge meeting, i think. this is going to be a real kind of grudge meeting, ithink. but this is going to be a real kind of grudge meeting, i think. but also in front of a great crowd. the atmosphere at edgbaston is one of the best, one of the noisiest, 25,000 packed in here on the first day that gets under way this morning. i�*m not in the studio, i�*m ina morning. i�*m not in the studio, i�*m in a prime spot, by the boundary imagining some of the catches that could make somebody�*s name today, one of those potentially iconic ashes moments. right whether players will walk out to bat or bowl depending on the toss, and the scene is set, they are still cutting the grass. what a scene it will be, this rivalry that goes back 140 years meeting here in the first test, with so much at stake. england trying to lift the ashes and lift the urn for the first time since 2015 when they

did it on home soil. australia hold the urn, they think very tightly, but haven�*t won a series in england for 22 years with england confident that there are new, exciting, almost one day you approach under ben stokes and brendon mccullum will be enough to swing the contest their way. we have found a style and a way in which we want to play our cricket that has been very successful. and as i say, regardless of the opposition, that�*s what we are going to try and stick to, have as much fun as we can and always look to try and put pressure back onto the opposition regardless of who it is. not facing the man, facing the ball, or vice versa. lode not facing the man, facing the ball, or vice versa— or vice versa. we haven't raised any expectations _ or vice versa. we haven't raised any expectations from _ or vice versa. we haven't raised any expectations from our _ or vice versa. we haven't raised any expectations from our group. - or vice versa. we haven't raised any expectations from our group. i - or vice versa. we haven't raised any. expectations from our group. i would say it— expectations from our group. i would say it has— expectations from our group. i would say it has been a really good nod that we _ say it has been a really good nod that we feel we have played really well over— that we feel we have played really well over the last 18 months and i don't _ well over the last 18 months and i don't think— well over the last 18 months and i don't think it has changed any expectations. ifanything, one more test match— expectations. ifanything, one more test match we have played in

opening, but when it is going mad here it is a great place to play cricket. just a question whether they will bat or bowl. it is cricket. just a question whether they will bat or bowl.— cricket. just a question whether they will bat or bowl. it is a such a marathon _ they will bat or bowl. it is a such a marathon this _ they will bat or bowl. it is a such a marathon this game _ they will bat or bowl. it is a such a marathon this game as - they will bat or bowl. it is a such a marathon this game as well, i they will bat or bowl. it is a such i a marathon this game as well, isn't a marathon this game as well, isn�*t it? it a marathon this game as well, isn't it? , ., , ., , a marathon this game as well, isn't it? , .,, a marathon this game as well, isn't it? , ., a marathon this game as well, isn't it? , it? it is, as a side you need to be consistent _ it? it is, as a side you need to be consistent and _ it? it is, as a side you need to be consistent and over _ it? it is, as a side you need to be consistent and over five - it? it is, as a side you need to be consistent and over five test - consistent and over five test matches you need to be consistent, and good, need a little bit of luck. if i'm and good, need a little bit of luck. if i�*m looking at both of these sides they are desperate for no injuries in the bowlers, winnie james anderson to be fit and available for as much as we can, ollie robinson, stuart broad, the bowling attack with mark wood. but australia have nathan lyon, how key he is, if he doesn�*t play that has a huge hole. you need a bit of luck but in england the support that we get is definitely like a 12 man and i expect this place to be rocking. what about england�*s new style commode faces the ultimate test with the world chess champions australia. it has brought the excitement almost of the 100, or the one—day game to

talking sledging, i�*m talking how he will, no lyons, ben stokes will come at cummings when he bats. that is why it is confrontational and takes a huge amount of skill to be able to deliver it and that�*s why i�*m excited and why everyone is on the edge of their seat because i will it work? will it work? how many times it has been said.— it has been said. you've been out, ou are it has been said. you've been out, you are allowed, _ it has been said. you've been out, you are allowed, i'm _ it has been said. you've been out, you are allowed, i'm not, - it has been said. you've been out, you are allowed, i'm not, you've l you are allowed, i�*m not, you�*ve been on the wicket half an hour ago. if you are the captain today and won the toss, what would you do, bat or field? h the toss, what would you do, bat or field? ~' the toss, what would you do, bat or field? ~ , ., ., ., the toss, what would you do, bat or field? ~ y., ., ., field? i think you have to bat, normalways— field? i think you have to bat, normal ways australia - field? i think you have to bat, normal ways australia would i normal ways australia would definitely bat, it looks a building wicket, it is dry, it has a good covering of grass but not live grass, but not dead grass so it will not nip much but it will aid the carrier. it should be quick scoring, it should be a quick scoring round, england want to be quick scoring. i don�*t know what england will do, it is hard to read ben stokes, but i imagine they will still want to bat, not a cloud in the sky and fantastic

and northern ireland will be facing their biggest test in the whole of qualifying when they play away to denmark in copenhagen. that�*s the view of manager michael o�*neill who was unable to call upon several key players for this and monday�*s game with kazakhstan. qualification is difficult regardless of the group. it is important to get points on the board as much as we can, particularly in the first four games. we are disappointed we dropped points against finland here and we have to make them up in these next two games. make them up in these next two names. . make them up in these next two ames. ., i, . ~' make them up in these next two names. . a, . ~ ., games. there we are. back at edgbaston. — games. there we are. back at edgbaston, don't _ games. there we are. back at edgbaston, don't forget - games. there we are. back at edgbaston, don't forget how i games. there we are. back at i edgbaston, don't forget how you games. there we are. back at - edgbaston, don't forget how you can edgbaston, don�*t forget how you can follow every ball of this test series on 5 live sports extra and the test match special team. also, tv highlights tonight on bbc two at seven o�*clock. wherever you are, take your phone and ipad, you can get in play video highlights of key momentsjust after they get in play video highlights of key moments just after they happen on the bbc sport website and app. this is a big moment in test cricket, there has been a lot of talk about

there has been a lot of talk about the white ball game, the 100, the one day game, but this is where the detestable comes back into its own. i guess they will use a bigger bat come the game. this is mike bushell size. i thought you were going to hit it! we were waiting. you were going to hit it and alastair cook was going to catch. i would have done but i was embarrassed to show the size of my bat to the great alastair cook. there we are come away from the pitch, little knockout for a single and i will run. aren�*t you tempted to whack it on the pitch? i would so be tempted. 0f the pitch? i would so be tempted. of course but i�*m not even allowed to stand on it. thank you very much. mike getting into trouble. we are seeing the sunshine come edgbaston looking nice for them, sunshine come edgbaston looking nice forthem, isn�*t sunshine come edgbaston looking nice for them, isn�*t it, sunshine come edgbaston looking nice forthem, isn�*t it, matt? it is indeed, looking amazing there. good morning to you both but things are on the change, this is the forecast for edgbaston over the next five days, giving a rough idea of what will happen for all of us,

temperatures will drop that humidity levels will rise into this weekend, and there is an increasing chance of some interruption sunday and tuesday. but even the saturday and sunday there should be some brief interruptions with a few showers around indeed. there will be more in the way of wet weather across the uk than we have had over the last couple of days. today mainly towards the west. lovely sunny day for the vast majority, another hot and humid one but more clout in south—west england, south—west wales later a few showers here, one or two breaking out across the west of great britain but it�*s across to ireland where heavy showers and thunderstorms get going later, drifting northwards towards northern ireland. these are your temperatures for the afternoon. again in the mid to high 20s for many. humidity levels creeping up as i said. into tonight, southern and western areas could see a few more showers around, heavy steel across parts of ireland, and another muggy night with temperatures in the mid—teens for many, a little bit fresher and more comfortable down some eastern coasts. as for your saturday forecast, showers come and go across

western areas through the day, northern ireland are most prone to some thunderstorms. the odd shower breaking out elsewhere but still many places will be dry, a bit more cloud around, though compared to what we have seen today, and the sunshine hazy. temperatures dropping that humidity levels continuing to rise. a few more showers in the west on saturday. a quick look at sunday and while we start with a few showers they will develop more widely across northern ireland through the day on sunday and also across england and wales. i will have more details on that later. back to you both. we look forward to that, matt. thanks very much. we are joined by al murray on the sofa this morning. i am joined by al murray on the sofa this morning. iam noticing joined by al murray on the sofa this morning. i am noticing the moustache. is morning. i am noticing the moustache.— morning. i am noticing the moustache. , , ., ., moustache. is this grown for the role? element _ moustache. is this grown for the role? element i _ moustache. is this grown for the role? element i have _ moustache. is this grown for the role? element i have grown - moustache. is this grown for the role? element i have grown the| role? element i have grown the moustache for the role of king charles the mary monarch. brute moustache for the role of king charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains- — charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains. the _ charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains. the theatre _ charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains. the theatre is - charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains. the theatre is set - charles the mary monarch. we have the curtains. the theatre is set for i the curtains. the theatre is set for you. what is the thing? i the curtains. the theatre is set for you. what is the thing?— the curtains. the theatre is set for you. what is the thing? i don't know how many people — you. what is the thing? i don't know how many people know— you. what is the thing? i don't know how many people know this, - you. what is the thing? i don't know how many people know this, on - you. what is the thing? i don't know how many people know this, on the | how many people know this, on the 9th of may 1671, an irish rebel called kernel blood with six

the people of nottingham chose to stand together in pain and love. for the first time since the tragic events of tuesday, at this vigil, we heard from all three families of those who died. starting with james coates, one of school caretaker ian coates�* three sons. it feels like he has touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew that he had. so it has been really nice and heart—warming to see the messages and the people come out and talk about how he was when they were younger and how he has helped them. some beautiful comments. my dad was an avid fisherman. he loved his family and he also loved his forest. you reds. others: you reds! applause. after hearing from the fathers of 19—year—olds barney webber and grace o�*malley—kumar the day before, it was the turn of their mums to remember their children.

he loved pesto pasta but he hated cottage pie. he was obsessed with aeroplanes and he still carried the dream of being a pilot in the raf one day. she also had a message for the crowd about the attacker. he isjust a person. please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion. applause. i know silence is the traditional sign to show respect, and we�*ve had that rightly so tonight. can ijust ask for you to do one, one more thing — to show us an enormous roar and round of applause for everyone affected by this tragedy. cheering. she was a treasured and adored child.

she wanted very few things in life. she wanted to be a doctor. she wanted to have fun, because that's what all students want — they want to enjoy themselves. and all they were doing was walking home. were just walking home after a night out. grace wasn't only. just a sister to me, she was a best friend of mine, my mother, my father, all her friends. and if there's only one message that comes out of this, - i i urge you all to cherish every. moment you spend with your loved ones as you just neverj know when it will end. thank you. after days of raw emotion, this city hopes it can soon begin to heal. navteonhal, bbc news, nottingham. as you can see these flowers are

overtaking the steps here outside the city council hall. if we look at the city council hall. if we look at the tributes, there is a bouquet from the home secretary suella braverman who left yesterday. we heard barnaby�*s mother saying how he loved pesto and there is a jar there. still some candles flickering and also here, a nottingham forest shirt. we saw the sons of ian coates with rip dad on the back of those forest shirts they were wearing. and here, one word, heartbroken, which sums up everything. the victims were sport fans. we are told at edgbaston later at the ashes between england and australia, players will wear armbands and there will be a minute�*s silence. the tributes keep coming and i think they will keep coming and i think they will keep coming for a long time.— coming and i think they will keep coming for a long time. up to 100 children may have been on board the fishing boat that sank

off southern greece on tuesday, killing at least 78 people. hundreds of migrants are still missing. nine people have been arrested on suspicion of people trafficking. sofia bettiza joins us from kalamata in greece. you have been keeping abreast of what is going on and the latest reports. we heard from a doctor who treated the injured and those affected. there are fears these numbers could increase dramatically in terms of those who have died. that is right. we heard the number of people who have died has gone up to 79 but the fear is that number could be higher, up to 500 people are feared missing. and might be dead. in greece, three days of national mourning have been declared and all political campaigning ahead of a general election at the end of

the month has been suspended. people who have been rescued on wednesday spent the night here, right behind me in that building. an hour ago, they were taken to a migrant centre near athens. the families of some of the people on board that boat have arrived here. they are looking for loved ones. today, a search operation continues with the eu sending manpower to help the greek authorities, but it is a complicated operation. because the location where this tragedy happened is near one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean. to give you an idea, when the boat capsized, it went down about 50 miles. nine people have been arrested and will appear before a prosecutor on monday morning to answer questions about what happened on wednesday aboard the boat. thank

ou. conservative mps must decide whether or not to approve a highly critical report that found borisjohnson deliberately and repeatedly misled parliament about lockdown parties. the former prime minister branded the findings as "deranged". our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us. good morning. we know what the findings were and they were damning. there is another step in the procedure that involves a vote. can ou procedure that involves a vote. can you explain? _ procedure that involves a vote. can you explain? there would always procedure that involves a vote. cary you explain? there would always be a chance for mps to vote on conclusions of this committee�*s report but some of the heat has been taken away from that because boris johnson chose to resign last week rather than facejudgment. johnson chose to resign last week rather than face judgment. the committee recommended he would be suspended from parliament, that he should be suspended from parliament

because he deliberately misled them. that would have paved the way for a by—election. we will get a by—election. we will get a by—election anyway. mps are not voting on the serious sanction, they are voting whether to remove a parliamentary pass from boris johnson that he would have been entitled to as a former member. they are in effect voting to endorse the report conclusions and that he deliberately misled parliament. it will be tricky for some mps. he has support within the party membership so i imagine a lot of tory mps will go back to their constituencies and taking the temperature and one local constituency associations to try to see whether they are going to be judged harshly if they support those conclusions. there are a number of supporters, may be 10—12, of boris johnson who indicated they will vote against but i cannot imagine the motion will not pass because

ultimately if mps voted against the parliamentary committee, they are voting against the committee upholding the core and fundamentals of democracy�*s functioning, whether the truth has been told to parliament. it will be a tricky decision but i do not think there is much chance of this motion being passed. at least 15 people have died after a crash in the canadian province of manitoba. police said the accident was between a truck and a bus, carrying mostly elderly people. at least ten people, including the two drivers, are in hospital with significant injuries. ufc fighter conor mcgregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman after a basketball game in miami last week. miami police are investigating claims that a woman was violently assaulted in a men�*s bathroom following an nba finals game. mr mcgregor denies the allegations. a deal between the duke and duchess of sussex and spotify has ended. a joint statement from the couple�*s company and the streaming giant said they had "mutually agreed to part ways" —

after meghan�*s podcast �*archetypes�* was not renewed for a second series. here�*s matt. good morning. ithought good morning. i thought i would take you to cornwall. the sky looking threatening at the moment. the first signs of a change over the next days. as we start to see cloud increase and the chance of showers starting to increase. for many, a dry start. it will stay that way but devon and cornwall have cloud increasing pushing into south wales and we will see thunderstorms brewing as it drifts into northern ireland later. whilst much of england and wales will be dry and hot and england and wales will be dry and hotand humid, england and wales will be dry and hot and humid, temperatures up to 28, including in parts of northern and western scotland, we will see

showers in the west later. isolated but intense. most places will be dry, but it is in western fringes there is a greater chance, and especially northern ireland later in the day. tonight, showers keep going and look more frequent in northern ireland. some in southern counties of england and more in wales and eventually into south—west scotland, where it will be humid. 14—15 below. in the eastern scotland and eastern england looking fresh. the weekend, weather fronts mean western areas are more likely to see showers on saturday. by sunday, showers and potential thunderstorms breaking out more widely. but not every garden will get a welcome drop of rain. tributes are being paid to former scotland, manchester united and leeds footballer gordon mcqueen,

who has died aged 70. he had been living with dementia since 2021, something his family believed was linked to years of heading the ball. we will talk about those tribute shortly. we can also show you an interview sally did when she sat down with his daughter shortly after the diagnosis. commentator: mcqueen! he said himself there�*s something just not right. i�*m not right. and there�*ll be a few things. you�*re never going to sit down and quiz someone what year it is, who�*s the prime minister? you just assume that they would know. but there were a few things that he started to get a little bit confused about and muddled about. slight personality changes were the things that we noticed, as opposed to it being something that was like, wow, this happened. and then we just knew it wasn�*t like that. and it�*s been very gradual. he started to ask, when am i going to get this sorted, when am i get better? when will someone going to fix my head? when will someone fix my head? we were kind of hoping that it wouldn�*t be dementia, but i think we all knew

that it probably was. and he asked to be seen. he asked to see someone — he�*d said a few years back, oh, if ever i have dementia, alzheimer�*s, ijust don�*t want to know. but he did want to know what was wrong with him because he wanted to try and understand and maybe trying to work with others to make sure that the next generation of footballers are not in this situation, that families aren�*t going through this. sport and football, you enter into it thinking it�*s going to physically and mentally better me, it�*s going to prolong my life. you don�*t think at 60—odd—year—old you�*re going to have brain damage from something that you love. we�*re nowjoined now by sammy mcilroy, who played alongside gordon at manchester united, and drjudith gates, from the charity head for change. good morning. sammy, ithink we good morning. sammy, i think we saw his brilliance there, and the impact he had on the world of football. equally, he was your friend. gordon was a fantastic _ equally, he was your friend. gordon was a fantastic man, _ equally, he was your friend. gordon was a fantastic man, great - equally, he was your friend. gordon was a fantastic man, great man. i

at the bottom of their table. in response the government told us: "the nhs is already one of the safest places to give birth in the world and we are grateful to all midwives and maternity support workers for what they do." the family of a man shot dead as he left his home in lambeth have made a fresh appeal for information, two years after his murder. 27—year—old matthias poleon was attacked without warning by two suspects wearing facemasks on the front drive of his balham home injune 2021. his mother has said she is "broken" and "devastated beyond words". today crimestoppers is offering up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of anyone linked to matthias�*s murder. households in parts of kent and sussex facing a sixth day without water have been told it may be sunday before their supply is restored. south east water says people in wadhurst should have supplies back by the end of today. however, it could be the end of the weekend before homes in crowborough, rotherfield and mayfield are reconnected.

the company has blamed high demand and the dry weather for the problems. luton airport has seen a big jump in passenger numbers. more than 1.5 million people passed through it last month, according to the latest passenger figures. the 45% jump is being put down to three bank holiday weekends, half—term, and the new luton dart rail link. it means 6 million passengers have now travelled so far this year. let's take a look at the tubes now. pretty good news. most lines are running well but the metropolitan has minor delays currently. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. not too much to say about today's weather, other than that it's looking very similar to how it was yesterday, and of course the day before that, too. but over the weekend we will start to notice a few changes across the capital. it will turn cooler and there could be some showers by the time we get to sunday. but for today, once more it is dry. we are set to keep

the warmth as well. temperatures in double figures this morning. blue sky and sunshine throughout the morning lasting into the afternoon. a bit more in the way of fairweather cloud perhaps bubbling up here and there. top temperatures of around 27 or 28 celsius. but widely in the mid—20s. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high and the pollution levels are moderate. it's the same thing all over again overnight tonight, so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to around 10—13, ill celsius maybe for some. and then on saturday while it stays dry, there will be some sunshine particularly through the afternoon, we could start to see a little bit more in the way of cloud. low pressure moves in from the west and that could produce some heavy, thundery downpours on sunday. that's it. you can always catch up on our website. bye—bye.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the time is 8.31. thousands of people stood together in silence as a second vigil took place to remember those killed in the nottingham attacks. in an emotional tribute, the families of all three victims addressed the crowds — with the mothers of barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar, urging people to "hold no hate". choir vocalises if there is only one message that comes about like out of this, i urge you all to cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones. as you just never know when it will end. thank you for showing love for our babies. she was so beautiful on the inside, she was a treasured and adored child. she wanted very few things in life. she wanted to be a doctor.

she wanted to play hockey with her pals. she wanted to have fun. because that's what all students want, they want to enjoy themselves. choir sings # there's a way, there's a road # that will lead me home...# it feels like he has touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew that he had so it has been really nice and heart—warming to see the messages and people come out and talk about how he was when they were younger on how he helped them. my dad was an avid fisherman, he loved his family and he also loved his forest. you reds. the monstrous individual who has shattered so many lives will not define us.

and i know he will receive the retribution that he deserves. however, this evil person isjust that, he isjust a person. please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion. the time is 8.34. we are going to take you to edgbaston where there is a lot going on. building up to the ashes. you are on your own this morning, mike, and now people are gathering. i can see photographers, the atmosphere will start building very soon. many people making their way to edgbaston today. yes, good morning. the excitement has been revamped up in the last

half hour, may be because we have the opera singer there who will get things under wayjust before the first ball, practising the anthems she will be singing, including the national anthem god save the king will stop it was quite rousing, making the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. there she is getting ready. we are under three and a half hours away from the big moment where we will get a lot of answers to the big questions, about this most anticipated ashes series for many years. you have england's new style of cricket bringing one day excitement to test cricket against the world test champion�*s on this fantastic wicket there looking perfect in the sunshine will stop making final preparations with 25,000 fans roaring england on with the barmy army in fine voice, england trying to win the ashes for the first time since 2015. australia will be confident. but they haven't won an ashes series on english soil in 22 years. they have to try to change that, as patrick gearey now

reports. for 140 years, england and australia have been trying to settle an argument. the ashes, one of sport's oldest and fiercest contests, a series that produces immortal moments, and the canvas is clear to make more of them this summer. the picture is not quite how england had planned. there have been injuries in the build up. moeen ali, retired from test cricket, has had to be coaxed back. some of the personnel have changed. the strategy won't. over the past year, captain ben stokes, together with coach brendon mccullum, has led a revolution, encouraging his players not to fear failure but attack on instinct. it's changed everything we thought we knew about test match cricket, but it's brought them plenty of wins and they won't be changing now. we have now found a way for us as a team to get the best out of ourselves as a collective, but also as individuals. and i think the message around are we still going to be playing like this against the australian attack or any other attack just sort of needs to be knocked on the head because we've found a way that works for us. but here comes the problem — australia are on the charge. their fast bowlers are fearsome,

their batters often awesome and they're newly crowned world test champions. you know, we feel like we've played really well over the last 18 months and not only do we have series wins to show for it, now we've got the world test championship. so i think there's a moment in time where you look back and show that our best is as good as anyone else's in the world. it's almost time for the talking to stop and the drama to begin. soon this place will be full and loud, and one of the most anticipated ashes series in years will be under way. patrick geary, bbc news, at edgbaston. i tell you what, shall we stoke up this great sporting rivalry? representing england, isa guha, former player, won the ashes three times, now a broadcaster and the ashes podcast presenter which has kept me going for the last week. and adam collins from down under. great to see you in the flesh.—

what you are up to, maybe you could work and, should you, all of that? a lot of people are working from home now, many more since the pandemic. they often listen to the radio whilst they are working. that is allowed. if you're being constructive and doing all the work it doesn't matter. exactly, can you see how it has all shifted. hannah, good morning. people have adapted their working days and the working week, it is friday today, very different look in the office blocks. lots of people wanting to go home early and things. we talked about this a little bit earlier and had a massive response since then which we will come to win a second. but first, let's go through some of the stats. research has shown that since the pandemic, the way we work has changed. let's take a look. before lockdown, just one in eight people reported that they were able to work from home. but of course offices became empty once the pandemic struck ? during the first half of 2020 nearly half of working adults worked at home at some point during the week. and based on the latest

information, some of that has continued — four out of every ten people now do at least some work from home, often with fridays being the day not to go in. so which works better — the office or home? our business correspondent emma simpson has been finding out. lunchtime at ao.com hq in bolton. it's buzzing, just how the boss likes it. some staff work from home full time, but he's banned hybrid working — a mix of being at home and in the office. from january, we basically said, right, it doesn't work. we've got to get our priorities right here. and the priority is customers and culture. and so we need everybody in the office. you know, you can really feel the energy, people like coming in and there's a real togetherness to backing what we do. has it helped the business get back on track? for sure. ao's speed unquestionably underpins productivity without any doubt whatsoever. and economically, if you look

at the country nationally at the minute, you know, we need productivity. we are in difficult times economically. and so it matters. he's not the only boss on a mission to get people into the office more. latest research suggests that offices are only around 30% full and about half of that on a friday. is this the new normal or is the balance going to change? there's a real tension in the labour market at the moment between workers who are telling us overwhelmingly that they want to work flexibly and many bosses who want to see more of people in the office. that is being played out, up and down the country in all sorts of business. but what's interesting is workers at the moment hold a lot of power because there are over a million vacancies in the economy and many workers can call the shots. so much has changed after covid. freya summers works four days a week at home in nottingham and one day in the office. how's life in the office?

she had to give up her career as a lawyer. too many hours for a young mum, but she's back in the game now, thanks to hybrid working. it has meant that i can, firstly, do the job that i trained for a long time to do and that i wanted to do since i was 16. but it's also meant that i can more effectivelyjuggle that with having two small kids. are you as productive? yes, i'm actually more productive at home than i am in the office. it's beneficial for the firm. it's beneficial for us. and i just think the world has hugely changed. not everyone can work from home. freya's managing it, but the debate is hotting up on how hybrid working is playing out. emma simpson, bbc news, nottingham. i'm joined now by hr expert kate palmer. good morning to you. good morning, hannah. good morning to you. good morning, hannah- we — good morning to you. good morning, hannah. we have _ good morning to you. good morning, hannah. we have had _ good morning to you. good morning, hannah. we have had lots— good morning to you. good morning, hannah. we have had lots of- good morning to you. good morning, hannah. we have had lots of viewers| hannah. we have had lots of viewers sendina in

committed to their 'ob. how can we avoid that? , ., , committed to their 'ob. how can we avoid that?— avoid that? i definitely do see that distrust playout. _ avoid that? i definitely do see that distrust playout. i _ avoid that? i definitely do see that distrust playout. i read _ avoid that? i definitely do see that distrust playout. i read a - avoid that? i definitely do see that distrust playout. i read a survey i distrust playout. i read a survey and it said 87% of employees believe they are more productive at home, 80% of employers believe employees are less productive, so that dichotomy is in play. certainly what i would say is employers if they have remote working they need to have remote working they need to have really structured ways of measuring output and delivery and productivity, set kpis, set objectives, things that can be measured, so that trust can really be played out. it can be done, it can be done really well but really clear structured ways of working. finally we had a viewer on a slightly different topic in some ways, but who says no one mentions the extra energy costs incurred at home if you are working. if you work from their work promises you don't have to heat your home and buy the electricity all day long. i know there is some support sometimes for people who work from home and has changed recently. what are people's rights and responsibilities in terms of making their working environment are safe and comfortable? it is

really interesting. _ are safe and comfortable? it 3 really interesting. now with the fabulous and we are having that situation and that challenge of the cost of heating isn't playing out but it certainly was injanuary, december. people were going back into the office for that very reason. i think one key thing employers forget, if they have people working at home they have health and safety obligations for that employee and there is a risk if they don't apply and implement those health and safety rules and procedures and have a real duty of care for that employee. a lot of employers are falling foul of that so it is key they understand their obligations to their employees at home. i obligations to their employees at home. ~ . obligations to their employees at home. ,, ., , ,., home. i think that is something we have not heard _ home. i think that is something we have not heard a _ home. i think that is something we have not heard a huge _ home. i think that is something we have not heard a huge amount i home. i think that is something we i have not heard a huge amount about, a lot of people might be surprised by it. kate, thank you very much for talking to us. naga and charlie, i think it is clear from that there are lots of issues and things brought up by this that employers and staff are still working through. absolutely, hannah. thank you so much. the time is 8.50. driving, put something on the radio, drive down
