like nothing else in my life. good morning from edgbaston ahead of the second day of an ashes series that's so far lived up to all the hype. a brilliant century from joe root and brave battling by england helped them to nearly 400 before they turned the pressure onto australia, with this opening test intriguingly poised. and ian wright, ken bruce and davina mccall are among those in the king's first birthday honours list. it will feel increasingly humid this weekend when the sun is out but more cloud around and the increasing chance of thundery showers especially tomorrow. all the details here, on breakfast. it's saturday the 17th june. around 500 people are still missing at sea after a boat, carrying migrants, sank off the southern coast of greece on tuesday. at least 78 people have died. the greek authorities are now facing mounting questions about whether more could have been done to prevent the tragedy.

louisa pilbeam reports. this new footage is said to show the boat in the hours before it sank. you can just make out how crowded it is on board. bbc verify has determined that this video was filmed this week and that the shape of the vessel and the weather matched the known details of this tragedy. hope is all but gone for the hundreds still missing. kassam aboo zeed is waiting for news of his 21—year—old wife israa, who risked thejourney with people smugglers after she was denied a visa to travel to germany to live with him. she had been staying in a refugee camp injordan and was on board the boat with her 19—year—old brother. kassam's friend mahmoud spoke to the bbc. there is no hope to find them alive. if the coastguard found them,

they will have found them dead. we are just waiting for the bodies. those who were rescued are being looked after here in the port of kalamata. just over 100 people were able to be saved. translation: there are no women here. | all the women died, drowned, with their children in their arms. it's a tragedy. it is unbelievable. and questions continue about the response to the disaster. here, one survivor told the opposition leader, alexis tsipras, that the vessel sank after the greek coastguard tried to tow it. another man rescued gave a similar story. so, what do we now know about what happened? at 11am on tuesday, the greek authorities first made contact with the fishing vessel

and say those on board didn't want their help. but a few hours later, according to this e—mail we've obtained, the coastguard are warned by an unofficial hotline for migrants in trouble, that 750 people, including women and children, are on board and urgently asking for help. originally, the coastguard said that on tuesday evening, it did travel towards the migrant boat, remained at a distance and discreetly observed there was no problem in its navigation. but yesterday, a government spokesman confirmed that coastguards had tried to get on board the boat. they used a rope to get closer and see if people wanted help. the spokesman denied any attempt had been made to tow the ship and that the coastguard didn't cause the boat to sink. as those who survived have been arriving at a migrant camp outside athens, greece's caretaker prime minister promised a thorough

investigation into what caused the boat to sink and so many people to die. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a man will appear in court today charged with three counts of murder following this week's attacks in nottingham. students, barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and ian coates, who was 65, were stabbed in the early hours of tuesday. valdoo calocane, who is 31, also faces three charges of attempted murder. 0ur reporter kathryn stanczyshyn is outside magistrates court in nottingham this morning. what is expected to happen today? good morning. 31—year—old valdo calocane later today will appear before magistrates at this court, accused of three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. he is accused of stabbing to death 19—year—old students grace

occasion, given the fact it will be our last task and i'm sure there will be a motion there but i'm also immensely proud to be a part of the king's first birthday fly—past and the trooping the colour so clearly, we want to be a part of that event and we wanted to end on a high. this was the view from a red arrow is copied on coronation they may six, the cloud cover so low that the hercules and most of the other aircraft could not safely fly above the trooping fly—past has provided a second chance to pay tribute to the king. second chance to pay tribute to the kin i _ ., ., ., second chance to pay tribute to the kin t _ ., ., ., , second chance to pay tribute to the kin. . ., . , ., second chance to pay tribute to the kint. . , ., .. king. so, weather permitting, how do ou fl king. so, weather permitting, how do you fly huge — king. so, weather permitting, how do you fly huge aircraft _ king. so, weather permitting, how do you fly huge aircraft within _ king. so, weather permitting, how do you fly huge aircraft within a - king. so, weather permitting, how do you fly huge aircraft within a few- you fly huge aircraft within a few feet of each other? it’s you fly huge aircraft within a few feet of each other?— feet of each other? it's probably easier than _ feet of each other? it's probably easier than it _ feet of each other? it's probably easier than it looks. _ feet of each other? it's probably easier than it looks. we - feet of each other? it's probably easier than it looks. we are - feet of each other? it's probably i easier than it looks. we are about 20 feet away from the aircraft in front of us and our aircraft will be and one in front more than twice that and were travelling at over 300 miles an hour but it's all relative so it's like driving a car next to another car on the motorway. $1150 another car on the motorway. also tlanned another car on the motorway. also planned to — another car on the motorway. also planned to be _ another car on the motorway. also planned to be in _ another car on the motorway. also planned to be in the _ another car on the motorway. also planned to be in the fly—past are playing with a special royal

flags flying and tens of thousands of people cheering and you turn onto horse guards and you see the stands open up, 8000 people, and it's a special moment. i've done it a number of times now and every time, it's a spine—tingling moment. that's what people see when you ride down the mall onto horse guards. so what people see when you ride down the mall onto horse guards.- the mall onto horse guards. so this will be returned _ the mall onto horse guards. so this will be returned to _ the mall onto horse guards. so this will be returned to the _ the mall onto horse guards. so this will be returned to the monarch - will be returned to the monarch attending on horseback, last seen in 1986. this was the final time queen elizabeth road one of her favourite horses burmese to the parade. from then on, she travelled by carriage. for more than 260 years, the king or queen's birthday has been celebrated in this way. king charles has attended many trooping the colour parades but this will be the first time the celebration is his. sarah campbell, bbc news. i'm sure the soldiers taking part in the parade will be up already, maybe a few nerves from some of them, more

than 1400 parade soldiers taking part, 200 horses, 400 military musicians and it is such a big task for them. musicians and it is such a big task forthem. i have musicians and it is such a big task for them. i have to remember 130 individual commands so everything is perfect because this will be broadcast right across the world —— they have to remember. millions turning into it king charles' first trooping the colour. charlotte, thank you so much. 627 is the time and mike, i am contrasting, good morning, contrasting the scene behind you. it is all empty and quiet with the frenzy and madness that was going on yesterday, quite today. it was amazing, we need this quiet and calm and they lie down! i'm sure and calm and they lie down! i'm sure a few people needed that after an excitable night in the city. birmingham itself, and fans poured out of here into the evening after a night of revelry in the bars and

restaurants and reflecting on the drama and excitement of yesterday which started with the very first ball in the series, cruelly smoking it to the boundary for four row and it's set the tone for the day. you look at the papers today to see the headlines, the kind of impact that the opening day had gone headlines like routeing tooting baz paul, we declare it's a genius after his injury, eight fantastic day, they are getting ready for day too and we cannot wait —— bazball. the covers are coming off this morning already. not the rain that many were pretty thing may fall this morning, it's dry and good and maybe a little colder than yesterday but today it was so australia in a few hours' time will resume 14 without loss. 379 behind england. after the surprise declaration that surprised everybody including the aussies. let's have a look back on this fantastic day.

patrick gearey. england's ridge, england's anchor, test much 34joe root, england's best batter, and according to his teammate and friend a cricketer unleashed. —— root. you see the smile on his face into the freedom he is playing with and looked, the enjoyment he is going out there every single day and having a bit of a laugh and that's a huge thing for joe. this was memorable right from the first ball, pat cummins to zak crawley. that's how england are playing now, see it, hit it, cricket, exciting but risky. exit ben duckett, followed by ollie pope. crawley made a fluent 50 but didn't reach lunch. the aussies thought they had him and asked for the technology. the spike on the wave form ended crawley�*s story. and now, fortune deserted england.

poor harry brook tried to leave this, but where had it gone, and where was it going? it's gone back onto the stumps! betrayed by a ricochet. how's your luck? when ben stokes went cheaply certain laughter, you could forgive them for filling opportunistic. the imposing jonny bairstow, t met since childhood, pesto fell and others followed but root endured wonderfully. these are the skills of a modern cricketer with classical timing. he reached his century and a golden budget —— edgbaston evening, what an innings, what a day. england controversially declared their endings a little after that you have a bowl at australia. i did not take any wickets those that they too will be all about the battle between england's bowlers and australia's batters and if it is half as good as they won, we're in for a treat. patrick geary, news, edgbaston. we are indeed. if you are wondering what the niceties, look at these, a hollow craft like device which does

not effect the grass as it is taken away. the cricket season is well up and running but still, the football continues! qualifiers for next summers men's european championships are taking place across the weekend and early next week. later, scotland take on norway but the other home nations were all in action last night. there was agony for northern ireland, embarrassment for wales and a very comfortable night for england, as natalie pirks reports. it is the time of year when the thoughts turn to holidays but not for footballers into this everlasting season. fortunately for england fans there was nothing tight about alexander—arnold's inch perfect pass to saka for the opening school. alexander—arnold revelling in his new midfield role. within

seconds kane was sent flying. a travel within 30 minutes. the second half meant england could make a raft of substitutions and when var intervened for a somewhat harsh and bold, england had a penalty. england sitting pretty after three wins from three. in the now face north macedonia in the final match of the season at old trafford on monday but they were not the only home nation in qualifying. wales played the 97th team in the well. what could go wrong? i'm came back from an early wales gold to win 4—2. cardiff was shellshocked. northern ireland almost played a blinder against favourites that with 94 minutes on the clock, they thought they had equalised through calvin marshall on

the debut but it was given offside. it was a decision that took an age. the match and 1—0 to denmark. natalie pirks, bbc news, malta. after breaking a us open record on day one with a score of 62, rickie fowler's broken another one, becoming the fastest player to get to ten under par in the competition's history. he leads the way with a one—shot lead over wyndham clark but hot on their heels is rory mcilroy, who's two shots off the lead. he was in danger of heading out of contention with three bogeys in the front nine but he pulled it around with six birdies, including almost making a hole—in—one on the ninth, as he looks to win his first majorfor nine years. no—one wants me to win another major more than i do. the desire is obviously there. you know, i have been shown and i have come close

over the past nine years or whatever it is. you know, i keep coming back and i think i've shown a lot of resilience in my career, a lot of ups and downs and i keep coming back and whether that means i get rewarded or get punched in the gaps, whatever it is, i will always keep coming back. defending champion matt fitzpatrick supplied the moment of day two at the us open. have a look at this, the brit hitting a hole in one at the 15th. he's well out of contention though at the halfway stage, currently one over. i love the way that at first he has not realise it has gone all the way. british triojodie burrage, katie boulter and heather watson will all play in the semifinals of the nottingham 0pen later. they will play later on as well. boulter defeated fellow brit harriet dart in her quarterfinal and will now face watson for a shot at the title, which guarantees a british finalist. burrage will play alize cornet. this is the first time burrage and boulter have

reached wta semifinals. andy murray continue his preparation for wimbledon with a straight said when to reach the semifinals. and a good day for the brits in friday practice at the canadian grand prix, too. lewis hamilton led george russell to a mercedes one—two in montreal. they took advantage of setting their fastest times later than the other top drivers to pip early pacesetter carlos sainz of ferrari during a day which was disrupted by red flag stoppages and technical problems. back here at edgbaston, i cannot wait for it to begin again. do take your device and phones because you can follow and get video highlights just after they have happened on the bbc sports website and highlights tonight on the telly box, bbc two and of course live with a special

you were shot at, shelled, bombed, mortared. ..and yelled, "let the bombs go from the aircraft". ..and yelled, "let the bombs go from the aircraft." how many young people did we actually kill? we looked to the aircraft and the whole of the back of it had been shredded with shell splinters. if the sergeant says, _ "jump," you said, "how high?" we just did whatever we were told to do. i in the sand, the only way to survive seemed to be try and get shelter of some kind. because of the 12 of us, only eight of us had come back. four of our crews had gone, including one crew who were on their very first trip.

it was a sunday. i was in church with my mother and father. and i remember hearing the bishop getting up in the pulpit before his sermon and saying, "we're now at war with germany" and i thought, "how exciting! gosh, an adventure!" and little did i know what was in store for me. 0ur division was putting — told to capture a range of hills to the north of tunisia. it took a month of solid fighting. you were shot at, shelled, bombed, mortared, everything. and you got that dreadful feeling

of sickness in your tummy. "oh, god. "is this going to be the last time?" sometimes, you were lucky. sometimes, you weren't. i was lucky. i think towards the — towards the end — before the end of april—beginning of may, i think they thoiught that they were — they really had had it and they were surrendering quite a lot. they stopped counter—attacking and i think that was the time they realised that they were on the defeated side. at the time, if you didn't kill the other chap, he killed you. that was it. capture the objective. fight. kill people. awful, isn't it? i mean, i've killed — i've killed my fellow man. i'm not proud of that.

when i eventually got into a — into a hospital, i said to the nurse, "can i send a telegram to my "mother and father?" and she said, "oh, yes — certainly!" i said, "wounded. "bullets left arm, left leg. "not serious, should survive." i thought that might amuse them, and it did. chuckles. i loved the desert. i thought it was absoltely perfect. something about like being on the sea, in a way. you could go in any direction. there was a great sort of freedom attached. beautiful, smooth — smooth surfaces, sand and impossible great — bother — great sand dunes.

some of the maps were very — very blank. i mean, i had a big chart — they were naval charts, really, with a lot of latitude and longitude lines and in some cases, i had one chart which had just a few little speculative hatch lines on it and a camel track — and a dotted line across it which was labelled "suspected camel track". well, i thought david stirling was a first—class man.

very — highly intelligent, highly motivated who actually unintelligible in many ways in the founding of the sas. who was also a person who managed to recruit about 80 chaps who he thought had the requirements that he needed, and one of his major requirements was he wanted people who would be able to get on with each other in difficult circumstances, so those early operations were conducted as far as possible and in great secrecy, were brought up — we were all brought up to keep the whole thing totally under hat.

well, they make very good stories, there's no denying. refuel your vehicles, mr sadler? we go tonight. rock music plays. get the tents up! stop being too creative! call me mike. but they were all part of the business, really. you had to put up with it. it was not something that people would join at the time very often. well, it was exciting to be shooting off at things — yes, i suppose it was. certainly, we didn't think of ourselves as war heroes. we were — i don't think we were war heroes. it's — i think it's a term which is much misused. i went up to newcastle

with a friend and went into the recruiting office, asked the recruiting sergeant if i could join the northumberland fusiliers. i was only an 18—year—old boy. i was scared of my mum and dad, let mind the nazis! ——i was scared of my mum and dad, never mind the nazis! chuckles. and the ship — i didn't know this at the time, i was down in the hole with everybody else — the ship turned into the mediterranean and the next thing i know, we're in land, in a port, and ifound out it was the port of algiers in north africa. very scary for an 18—year—old boy who'd never been out of north shields, yeah, but we just got on with it. you know, i mean, if the sergeant says,

"jump," you said, "how high?" and we just did whatever we were told to do — and that's the easiest way to get on in the army. if the sergeant or the corporal says do it, you do it. a lot of the time, i was trained in weapons. but because i had a little bit of a problem with one of my eyes, they thought that a rifle wasn't a good idea for me. and so, they put us on bren guns. in fact, for a period of time in africa, i was a twin bren gunner, and that meant that i was sitting on a very small vehicle with two bren guns pointing backwards — with the convoy was in front and i was like tail—end tommy watching for aircraft attacking from behind. or if i was at the front, then i did the same again. but they thought because of the eye problem, that i was better with the twin bren guns rather than with a rifle.

on occasions as you were driving along particular roads, everything was fine, no problems. and it happens just like that. you hear a buzz, you look up, there's somebody throwing bits and pieces at you, so you fight them back. do what you're trained to do — turn your machine—gun in the direction of whatever it is that's attacking you and let go. yeah. it happened that many — just like going out in the dry and getting wet. when i was about 19 and i was living near hampton court bridge, a german aircraft came over and lobbed out a bomb and it landed on the other side of the road to me. it was a good job it was a light bomb because being a heavy one, i shouldn't be here talking to you this afternoon.

well, if i had an incentive tojoin the airforce, that would've been given greater emphasis, and i thought, "i must go out and join the air force and you never know, "i might be able to catch up with this chap," but of course, i never did. "and as you've been an instructor, i take it you would like to "go on instructing?" and i ratherfoolishly said, "no, sir. "i want to get to grips with the enemy." and chuckles. very — quite unaware that the enemy only too happy to get to grips with me! anyway, i was then sent to a night fighter training school because i wanted to become a night fighter.

and one day, somebody came from don bennett's pathfinder group. he came across and said, "if there's anybody here with 1000 "flying hours, i would like to recruit them "into our bomber command night flight striking force". and i thought, "well, that's for me". i saw this rather elderly navigator with a canada flash on his shoulder. he must�*ve been all of 28, so he was quite an old man. "have you crewed up with anybody?" "nope," he said. so i said, "what's your experience?" and he said to me, "well,

i've been an instructor — "a navigation instructor — at prince edward island". so, i said to him, "you've found yourself a pilot". and i think we made a very good team. he was, without question, the very, very best navigator on the squadron. and i was incredibly lucky to have had him as my navigator. archive: taking over on the tarmac, a line of new mosquitoes ready - to display their prowess in the air. the mosquito is the great aeronautical success of the war. british inventive genius has produced a formidable air weapon with a reputed speed of over 400 miles an hour. here are pictures to carry in your mind's eye when next you hear of our mosquitoes having been in action. i think on the fifth raid was on berlin. now, berlin was about the most

heavily defended city in the whole of the third reich and if you are going to be shot down, it was most likely to occur there, and i remember on this particular occasion, i allowed myself to be caught by a salvo of anti—aircraft shells and it lifted up the aircraft and it caused both engines to stop. they weren't damaged — itjust interfered with the carburetion. and after what seemed like six months, i supposed it was probably a matter of about 30 seconds, the engines restarted and we found — we worked our way out of berlin. and i turned to him and said, "doug, you weren't frightened, were you?" and he said, "no, i wasn't frightened. "i was bloody terrified!"

the scariest raid, well, without question, was when i was picked up by a jet fighter. the me262 had what was known as air—to—air radar and once he got it visual on you, he would give you a blast of cannon fire and you would cease to exist because the fire from the me262 was formidable. now, in my aircraft, i'd got what was known as radar detection equipment. so, as soon as he turned on his air—to—air radar, i got a signal in my cockpit. and then, i would take immediate evasive action, as i did, by dropping down 10,000 feet and altering course. and my navigator was complaining bitterly and saying to me, "well, how do you know?

"i can't see him!" and i said, "and a very good thing too, because if you could see him, "he could see us, and we would be dead! "so i can't afford for you to be wrong." and i dodged in and out of the sky and all over the place and eventually, i took him down low because when you get down low, jet aircraft consume large quantities of fuel. and i knew this chap only had 4—5 minutes from the time that he took off to the time that he landed back at base and i thought, "sooner or later, he'll have to pack it in," so he went home, and i lost him. i was working one day

in darlington and i heard, —— and i thought, "oh, to pot this with!" and i walked across the road to an raf recruiting office, and i said "i would like to join the raf, please". the chap said "very good, sir. "come on in, we'ill take all your details," and that was it. in a bomber, then. i was in halifax bomber, you would have seven people. a pilot, navigator, radio operator, a bomber air man, a radio operator, two gunners and flight engineer. and all the lads that i was with were all canadians. and, really, you did have to look after each other and look after yourselves.

and we managed to get through 31 operations in bomber command. as the flight engineer, you had to make sure that mechanically, everything on the aircraft worked perfectly. and you had to act as second pilot. i'd take off here from leeming, go on a bombing raid over germany, and let the bombs go from the aircraft and you could see these bombs exploding on german soil. and the number of people being killed — and i used to think about it. you knew it was happening but you tried to forget it. that you were bombing civilians.

it's a funny feeling, you know, to be involved in war and to be killing people and knowing you're killing people and also thinking — not knowing, but thinking — that there was a reason and a right in doing it. but since then, i've realised that there wasn't a right and there never will be a right for people to fight each other. never, ever. and there are things you can't forget, you can't change, they're just there. and you're stuck in memories. the flight engineer's position was inside the steering,

out of sight almost. and i couldn't see out and i was objecting to this in my letters home. still got at home my letters — my mother kept all my letters, letters, still there. and i was complaining about the fact that that i wasn't able to see anything — like, a young lad, as i was. our very first mission was to a place called salbry in the middle of france. it was a big ammunition dump and factory. it had been french but taken over by the germans. i was at the front of the aircraft. i happened to look up and it was a little flicker of light and i shouted "gone bad.

"starboard brother up." it meant there was a fight between them and a lancaster. i couldn't see it but it was up there. "right boys, keep your eyes skinned." and we came around and focus on it and see if he could see something. and it was just like this. we came back, we assembled in the dining hall, four empty tables. because of the 12 of us, only eight of us had come back. 20,000 tonnes of bombs dropped in the 24 hours preceding the landings. the softening—up of the german defences on a broad stretch of coast... it was about three o'clock in the morning and quite a normal day. nobody�*d tell old us it was invasion day. it was a place where the americans were landing and ourjob was to bomb that bit, to help the chaps on the ground.

and as we turned away, we happened to notice in the distance four little planes. german fighters. volker. the best of them, fastest of them. and my rear gunner, wally, was shouting, "get into the cloud!" because there was a cloud base — it wasn't very thick — but we were being told to stay up and he was shouting, "get into the cloud," and my word, we got into the cloud. and bomber command, the kill rate was almost 50%, plus all the wounded and the rest of it. but half — when i signed on, i didn't realise i was almost signing my life away.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: up to 500 people are still missing from a migrant boat that sank off the coast of greece four days ago — these pictures show the crowded vesseljust hours before the tragedy. a man will appear in court today, charged with the murder of three people who were stabbed in nottingham on tuesday.

a hosepipe ban is on the way for parts of kent and sussex, after record levels of demand for drinking water in the hot weather. good morning from edgbaston ahead of the second day of an ashes series that's so far lived up to all the hype. a brilliant century from joe root and brave battling by england helped them to nearly 400 before they turned the pressure onto australia with this opening test intriguingly poised. and ian wright, ken bruce and davina mccall are among those in the king's first birthday honours list. it will feel increasingly humid this weekend when the sun is out but more cloud around and the increasing chance of thundery showers especially tomorrow. all the details here, on breakfast.

good morning. it's saturday the 17th june. around 500 people are still missing at sea after a boat, carrying migrants, sank off the southern coast of greece on tuesday — at least 78 people have died. the greek authorities are now facing mounting questions about whether more could have been done to prevent the tragedy. louisa pilbeam reports. this new footage is said to show the boat in the hours before it sank. you can just make out how crowded it is on board. bbc verify has determined that this video was filmed this week and that the shape of the vessel and the weather matched the known details of this tragedy. hope is all but gone for the hundreds still missing. kassam aboo zeed is waiting for news of his 21—year—old wife israa, who risked thejourney with people smugglers after she was denied a visa to travel to germany to live with him. she had been staying in a refugee camp injordan and was on board the boat

with her 19—year—old brother. kassam's friend mahmoud spoke to the bbc. there is no hope to find them alive. if the coastguard found them, they will have found them dead. we are just waiting for the bodies. those who were rescued are being looked after here in the port of kalamata. just over 100 people were able to be saved. translation: there are no women here. | all the women died, drowned, with their children in their arms. it is a tragedy. it is unbelievable. and questions continue about the response to the disaster. here, one survivor told the opposition leader, alexis tsipras, that the vessel sank after the greek coastguard tried to tow it. another man rescued

gave a similar story. so, what do we now know about what happened? at 11am on tuesday, the greek authorities first made contact with the fishing vessel and say those on board didn't want their help. but a few hours later, according to this e—mail we've obtained, the coastguard are warned by an unofficial hotline for migrants in trouble, that 750 people, including women and children, are on board and urgently asking for help. originally, the coastguard said that on tuesday evening, it did travel towards the migrant boat, remained at a distance and discreetly observed there was no problem in its navigation. but yesterday, a government spokesman confirmed that coastguards had tried to get on board the boat. they used a rope to get closer and see if people wanted help. the spokesman denied any attempt had been made to tow

the ship, and that the coastguard didn't cause the boat to sink. as those who survived have been arriving at a migrant camp outside athens, greece's caretaker prime minister promised a thorough investigation into what caused the boat to sink and so many people to die. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. sofia bettiza joins us now from the greek city of kalamata. sofia, what's the latest on the ground? how on earth did it get to this point and why were more people not saved earlier? that point and why were more people not saved earlier?— saved earlier? that is right, we kee- saved earlier? that is right, we keep hearing — saved earlier? that is right, we keep hearing conflicting - saved earlier? that is right, we| keep hearing conflicting reports about what happened on wednesday night. this morning here in southern greece, a big search operation continues because their affairs up to 500 people could still be missing and many of them could be women and children. it is the third day that

they are looking for survivors but so far nobody has been found and thatis so far nobody has been found and that is because of the location of this accident. it happened in one of the deepest parts of the mediterranean sea. now, greece is one of the main routes for migrants who tried to reach europe from the middle east, asia and africa, but, you know, the un has called for an urgent investigation into what happened but the reality is this crisis had never gone away and when things like this happen, a lot of talk from the european union about never again and the eu says they had a plan in place to deal with migration but the reality is that, according to the un, including this tragedy, 1200 people so far this year have died trying to reach europe from the middle east, africa and asia, crossing the mediterranean so critics say there eu has failed

to provide answers and solutions. thank you for the moment. a man will appear in court today charged with three counts of murder following this week's attacks in nottingham. valdoo calocane, who is 31, also faces three charges of attempted murder. 0ur reporter kathryn stanczyshyn is outside magistrates court in nottingham this morning.

bright if not suddenly start across eastern areas. into the west, skies grey, the cloud figure and the greater chance of a few spots of rain. to the west of northern ireland, you can see the circulation is in an anticlockwise fashion bringing humid air but that cloud saw persistent rain in northern ireland. it will ease away. heavy thundery showers developing later. showers drifting northwards and eastwards across england and wales. light and isolated. heavier once later in western scotland and some will get close to edgbaston. most of it will be dry. humid as well. as we go through this evening and overnight, a few showers dotted around. a rumble of thunder possible towards the southeast corner and

again tonight a fairly muggy night. 0ne again tonight a fairly muggy night. one of two spots close to last night's temperatures. tomorrow greater chance of showers and storms. fairly isolated showers and stomp to begin with but as the temperatures rise through the day, particularly late morning onwards and a special across england, wales, northern ireland, intense thunderstorms with hail mixed in as well. big gaps between them and some will stay completely dry for the day on sunday. dry into scotland. though cloudy. it will feel quite humid. as we go into the evening, showers and storms merging to heavier spells. initially across northern and eastern england but then spreading into scotland and that is where it will set as we go into monday morning. sunday into monday, northeastern parts of england and scotland, the risk of flooding around. the rain it will be welcome on very dry ground at the moment.

drifting northwards on the day on monday after cloudy start elsewhere skies brightening but scattered showers and thunderstorms gradually developing and feeling a little bit fresher than the weekend as humidity levels drop. it will still be quite warm. forthe levels drop. it will still be quite warm. for the week ahead, showers are still in the forecast, mainly to northern and western areas. but they will vary widely. humidity levels will vary widely. humidity levels will claim once again. every drop of rain is welcome for some and that huge variability has been in evidence in the southeast. it looked like showers across parts of surrey and into the west of london, huge amounts of rain, huge sways in kent and sussex. in the last four weeks, we have seen less than one millimetre of rain and the rain we do see of course will be welcome. back to you both. it's a 7:15. quite

a few people are waking up with a new title after being named in the king's first birthday honours list. among them is sir terry wait, who spent almost five years in captivity after being kidnapped by islamic terrorists in lebanon in 1987. after his release, he went on to help others in the same situation and has been given a knighthood for his services to charity. he spoke with our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. it sounds rather ludicrous, i think, because i don't think of myself as a sir, i've always been called terry, but in actualfact, sir, i've always been called terry, but in actual fact, i sir, i've always been called terry, but in actualfact, i used sir, i've always been called terry, but in actual fact, i used to receive a lot of letters addressed to sir terry waite and people were confusing me with the terry morgan because the initials were the same, tw. -- because the initials were the same, tw. —— wolgan. but now it is for real. when i look to the letter, i could not believe it. i thought there was some mistake. and quite frankly, tears came to my eyes. i'm not quite sure why! i thought

goodness. fancy that! i sometimes say to myself how on earth did i get into all of this? but i tried to be realistic about it. someone once said to me why is it you spent so much of your time working for the release of people? and that caused me to think. and i said well, probably i am seeking my own in release too. you know? i have the firm belief that when you do something for other people, doing consciously or unconsciously something for yourself. don't put yourself on a pedestal and say i am the great. no, kcmg now, kindly, called me god. rather ridiculous! you can laugh at it. but that's my view. that's my feeling. they were tough years, you know? one was

tortured and one had a mock execution and so on and i was in solitary confinement for the whole of the period, excepting the last few weeks of active —— captivity. no books or papers, nothing, just by myself, line folded whenever anyone came into the room, but it is an opportunity for very deep inner reflection, to really get to know yourself, to get to know your strengths and your weaknesses, and i had to learn to live one day at a time. but looking back on it, naturally enough, i would not want to go through the experience again. but in a sense, i can be grateful for it, and that's very strange but it's true because before captivity, i had sympathy for the people on the margins of life who were discriminated against or whatever. always had that sympathy. but captivity changed but from sympathy to empathy. sympathy is to feel sorry for. empathy is to know in your own being what it is big like

to be kicked around and have nothing and that's been a great gift because it has enabled me to relate to people and to understand people and not necessarily to condemn people for where they are. we live in a society where there is so much condemnation of people. people are so angry and so quick to leap on each other and terry each other to pieces. well, but doesn't help us off, —— tear each other. doesn't help. i will work until my dying day for a more compassionate society. it doesn't say you are soft, it's as you are realistic about human nature. ——it says you are realistic. that was sir terry waite speaking to our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. congratulations to him and the others nominated today. we'll go through the others nominated earlier this morning. 19 minutes past seven. a hosepipe ban will come into force for more than two million people in kent and sussex later this month as extreme temperatures continue

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. as of attention on events at edgbaston. a lot of hype going into the beginning of the ashes. day one, we did not know what would happen and it delivered in a big way?

absolutely incredible. all the talk was about this new style of test cricket england are playing. and whether it would be dismantled by the australians but, no, england set out from the start to prove they will not change the way of playing and it delivered one of the best opening days of an opening series in recent days. i am in front of the commentary box. i have never known such disbelief about commentators when england decided to declare. a bit of digging going on by the ground staff. they may be replacing a deacon in the middle. getting ready for what should be another incredible day. what an absorbing opening day it was at edgbaston —

australia will resume on 14 without loss, 379 behind england. it all started with a moment that set the tone. one of those that may well be remembered for years to come — zak crawley hitting pat cummins' first ball of the day for four, in an explosive start. he made 61. england hit a rocky patch after lunch butjohnny bairstow and joe root combined to give england hope again. baistow in his first international innings since breaking his leg august, was good value for this 78. but the real star of the show wasjoe root, who got his first century against australia since 2015. it included this remarkable reverse scoop for 6 what skill and he was still going strong whencaptain ben stokes suprisingly declared, with england 393 for 8 .and root the toast of his teammates the enjoyment, he is going out there

every single day and having a bit of a love and that is a huge thing for joe and you can only wonder how many runs he is going to school. he will be chasing cookie done and that is just part and parcel of his quality. point when england could have made 30 maybe 50 more with 2 this was phil tufnell on test match special. commentator: they are declaring. what?! they have declared. david _ they are declaring. what?! they have declared. david warner _ they are declaring. what?! they have declared. david warner is _ they are declaring. what?! they have declared. david warner is a _ they are declaring. what?! they have declared. david warner is a shaking i declared. david warner is a shaking

could backfire potentially because the australian open as did survive those opening overs to get to 14 without loss.— without loss. generally i am in favour of _ without loss. generally i am in favour of doing _ without loss. generally i am in favour of doing innovative i without loss. generally i am in i favour of doing innovative things in cricket but sometimes convention is right. joe root was batting so well. they could put on another 60 or 70 and that could be more valuable than 20 minutes. if the pitch was doing a lot and if they had 45 minutes or something like that it would have been a sensible move.— been a sensible move. springing surtrises been a sensible move. springing surprises like _ been a sensible move. springing surprises like that _ been a sensible move. springing surprises like that on _ been a sensible move. springing surprises like that on the - been a sensible move. springing surprises like that on the world i surprises like that on the world test champions might be the way to unsettle them?— test champions might be the way to unsettle them? . , , ., unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think _ unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think it _ unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think it is _ unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think it is not _ unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think it is not fair _ unsettle them? keep them guessing at least and i think it is not fair to - least and i think it is not fair to judge things in hindsight because it is easy to say, they did not take a wicket last night but had they got australia to down, everybody would be saying what a genius move it was. maybe they will knock australia out

away from the action here, there is still football going on! lots of euro 2024 qualifiers taking place across europe. scotland take on norway this evening but all the other home nations were in action last night. a night to forget for wales — they lost 4—2 to armenia in front of a packed cardiff city stadium, lucas zelarayan completing the scoring. danjames had given wales an early lead in cardiff. wales drop to second in the group, after turkey beat latvia, with a 96th minute winner. northern ireland also lost. they were in copenhagen where denmark beat them 1—0 thanks to this goal from jonas wind. northern ireland also had a goal agonisingly disallowed in injury time. and england continued their perfect record in qualifying with a comfortable win in malta. the stand out performer was liverpool full—back trent alexander—arnold who scored this magnificent goal. at that point gareth southgates side were already 1—up thanks

to a malta own goal. harry kane and callum wilson both added penalties to give england a 4—0 win. the three lions are next in action against north macedonia on monday. after breaking a us open record on day one with a score of 62, rickie fowler's broken another one, becoming the fastest player to get to ten under par in the competition's history. he leads the way with a one—shot lead over wyndham clark, but hot on their heels is rory mcilroy, who's two shots off the lead. he was in danger of heading out of contention with three bogeys in the front nine but he pulled it around with six birdies as including almost making hole in one on the ninth as he looks to win his first majorfor nine years.

france. persistent rain in northern ireland. it will ease off for a time. showers later. showers also in western areas and one or two drifting across england and wales. but most places will stay dry. west of scotland, western fringes of wales, a few isolated showers. the emphasis for most, certainly northern ireland, it would be dry weather and humid. as for those heading off to edgbaston, there is a chance of a few light showers passing through today. lots of dry weather and we will see a be a greater chance of showers tomorrow. then, as we go through into tonight, a few thundery showers dotted around, it was a southeast later on. a muggy night as well. temperatures in the teens. for the vast majority.

on sunday, showers developing more widely. quite a misty day through eastern coast of northern england and eastern scotland but as temperatures rise especially across england, wales, south—west scotland and northern ireland, showers, hail, gusty winds and big gaps in between them. some of you will still get through the day completely dry especially across the northeast of mainland scotland. very humid out there. longerspells mainland scotland. very humid out there. longer spells of thundery rant in northern and eastern parts of england. this weather front as it develops later into monday could produce flooding across parts of eastern scotland and northeast england. plenty of rain around on monday. elsewhere early cloud

of the committee's damning findings had been made crystal clear, and was echoed by the likes of jacob rees—mogg. well, i think it's overbaked. that, i think they want to find the worst at every possible opportunity. and i think it shows a degree of vindictiveness that does not work to the committee's favour or advantage. the space provided on the bbc for the former prime minister and his supporters to reject the report's conclusions annoyed william riddell graham, who emailed: that charge had already been levelled last friday when, before anyone else had seen its conclusions, borisjohnson dismissed the committee that investigated him as a kangaroo court.

so, did the bbc allow this pre—emptive strike to shape the narrative of the story unfairly? simon caudwell thought so. —— simon caldwell thought so. techie bill, though, has found a bias in the other direction. one of the mps out supporting borisjohnson on the airwaves on thursday was brendan clarke—smith, who faced victoria derbyshire on newsnight. borisjohnson corrected the record at least a couple of times. no, not according to the committee's report today. are you sure you've read it?

well, which specific bits are we referring to that he didn't correct? they said he purported to come to the commons and correct the statement, but they weren't satisfied he had. that was another contempt. brendan clarke—smith retweeted the clip of that interview posted by newsnight adding: but kay spoke for many in writing: the day after tuesday's knife attack in nottingham which saw the of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, a vigil was held in the city, attended by thousands. it was broadcast live on the bbc�*s news channel and rajini vaidyanathan was there. that vigil in memory of two of the three victims who died in yesterday's attacks is due to get under way shortly. understandably, there's been a very sombre mood here at the university of nottingham.

what followed offended a number of newswatch viewers, including aj manzi, who wondered: pete morgan agreed: nobody was available from bbc news to discuss those points, but we were given this statement.

on saturday night, many football fans would have been following the progress of manchester city in their attempt to win the champions league final and therefore complete the treble, having already won the premier league and the fa cup. fair, perhaps, to assume that that group didn't include viewers of nick robinson's political thinking, in which he was interviewing baroness louise casey on the bbc news channel. for most of the programme, those watching were kept updated of the score but, with a couple of minutes to go in the final, the channel cut nick robinson off to go not to pictures of the match — the bbc didn't have the rights to show it — but to footage of manchester city supporters. you wanted to use — indeed, did use — the word of institutional racism, of institutional sexism. and he... we're interrupting this programme

as we are in the final couple of minutes of normal time in the champions league final between manchester city and inter milan in istanbul. what you're seeing now are scenes live in the fan zone in manchester. let's have a listen in. there's a corner about to happen in the final crucial seconds paul clark was not impressed. bbc news responded to that point like this:

it's been known for a while that audiences of traditional tv and radio news bulletins are in decline — particularly among the younger generation, who increasingly get their news from online sources such as tiktok, instagram and youtube. but a report out this week from oxford university's reuters institute lays bare the extent of that decline. around the world, the number of people taking a strong interest in the news has dropped by around a quarter in the last six years. and in the uk, the figure is 43% lower than the global average. more than a third of people worldwide say they sometimes or often actively avoid the news. paul gilbert told us his theory

of why that might be. well, let's talk to the report's lead author, nic newman, who used to work at the bbc and was one of the original creators of its news website. welcome to newswatch. nic, it sounds like the uk drop in news interest is more dramatic than in many other countries. why is that? it's a combination, really, of a very difficult news agenda. people turning away from toxic politics, from just having been through covid, the aftermath of brexit. it's partly just feeling overwhelmed. i mean, i think what digital has done isjust produced this huge avalanche of news. it's always with us, 2a hours a day. we gave the example of one viewer who picked out the so—called

westminster village effect. you mentioned people being turned off politics. could that be a factor in the uk? yes and no. i mean, i think — i think what the bbc and others see is when there's a big political event, actually, the viewing figures go up and i think what that is is people who are interested in news and interested in politics — of whom there are still many — are quite often very interested in the twists and turns of what's going on at westminster. i think the problem is that huge numbers of other people a re less interested. they've got other things going on in their lives and they just want to know the big picture and i think quite often, we sort of super—optimise our tv channels or radio channels or our websites for those really — people who are really interested in news and we sometimes forget a little bit about people who want just sort of headlines, or a bigger range of stories, as your viewer explained. yeah.

the pandemic changed a lot of people's connections and habits long term. do you think that's played a part in the decline in news interest? i think it's still — we're still trying to work out what the effect of the pandemic has been but i think there's no question that it's kind of accelerated some of the trends that we were seeing before. so, you know, certainly around news habits and news use, we've seen a sort of further move towards digital, a speeding up of the move away from traditional forms of media — print, obviously, but to some extent on television and radio as well — and a sense that, you know, you need to protect our mental health sometimes from these difficult stories. there's only so much we can take. so, i think that's part of it, too. people are not necessarily not interested but they want to sort of ration themselves and they want to see some hope and they want to be diverted into other things as well. you raise a really interesting issue and i want to ask about what the bbc should do.

your research found that some long—running stories, like the cost of living crisis, like ukraine, are a turn—off because people feel they're too depressing. should the bbc be, perhaps, putting out more good news to balance that? i'm not sure it's good news but definitely more of a mix. and when we ask people who are avoiding news what kind of news they value most, what they think is most important, they did talk about more positive perspectives. they talked about news that tried to offer solutions, rather than just point out the problems. they talked about explaining the news better. and i think these are all things that media companies can think about more. i think this — we also saw this in covid, actually, the explainers helping contextualise the news was really valuable to people and i think media companies are doing a lot more of that, including the bbc. nic newman, thank you so much. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email us. you can find us on twitter.

details of this tragedy. hope is all but gone for the hundreds still missing. kassam is waiting for news of his 21—year—old wife, ezra, who risked the journey with people smugglers after she was denied a visa to travel to germany to live with him. she had been staying in a refugee camp injordan and was on board the boat with her i9—year—old brother. kassam's friend, mehmood, spoke to the bbc. there's no hope to find them alive. if the coastguard found them, they will find them dead. we are just waiting for the bodies. those who were rescued are being looked after here in the port of kalamata — just over 100 people

were able to be saved. translation: there are no women here. | all the women died, drowned, with their children in their arms. it's a tragedy. it is unbelievable. and questions continue about the response to the disaster. here, one survivor tells the opposition leader, alexis tsipras, the vessel sank after the greek coastguard tried to tow it. another man rescued gave a similar story. so what do we now know about what happened? at 11am on tuesday, the greek authorities first made contact with the fishing vessel and say those on board didn't want their help. but a few hours later, according to this e—mail we have obtained, the coastguard are warned by an unofficial hotline for migrants in trouble that 750 people, including women and children, are on board and urgently asking for help. originally, the coastguard said that on tuesday evening it did travel towards the migrant boat,

remained at a distance and discreetly observed there was no problem in its navigation. but yesterday, a government spokesperson confirmed that coastguards had tried to get on board the boat. they used a rope to get closer and see if people wanted help. the spokesman denied any attempt had been made to tow the ship and that the coastguard didn't cause the boat to sink. as those who survived have been arriving at a migrant camp outside athens, greece's caretaker prime minister promised a thorough investigation into what caused the boat to sink and so many people to die. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. sofia bettiza joins us now from the greek city of kalamata. in very good morning to you, sofia. that timeline that the communications and the contact with the boat is proving crucial, isn't

has been given a knighthood. as well as famous faces, the list honours people making a difference in their communities. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. terry waite is free after five years held hostage in beirut. both before and the decades after his time as a hostage, terry waite devoted much of his life to helping others being held against their will. he has received a knighthood. i was born here. i love this country and i value our traditions. i value that and to be now incorporated in this particular way in a long tradition is very moving and it means a great deal. others being knighted include the booker prize winning author ben okri, recognised for his body of work

and contribution to literature. it's very moving and i think also very encouraging for successive generations. give them a sign that the work they are doing, the work that they will be doing that people may not seem to be paying attention, but they are. author martin amis also accepted a knighthood shortly before his death in may. in the world of film and tv, celia imrie becomes a cbe for services to drama. davina mccall says it's a great honour to be made an mbe for services to broadcasting. while line of duty star vicky mcclure also becomes an mbe for her acting and charity work. in the world of sport, ian wright has been made a cbe for his contribution to football and charity. radio presenter ken bruce becomes an mbe, notjust for his long broadcasting career but also for his work on raising autism awareness. most awards though have gone to individuals

like suzanne richards, people not usually in the public in the public eye. after losing four members of her family in the 2015 tunisian beach attacks she set up a charity bereaved from homicide. the news from nottingham is heartbreaking and i tightly feel is heartbreaking and i totally feel how those families are feeling, especially when they've just lost a 19—year—old, the same as myself. a university student and itjust mirrored what happened to me eight years ago so as a charity, we will be there to support them in the future if they need us. she is just one of many being honoured for making a difference in their communities. lizo mzimba, bbc news we're nowjoined by sergeant paul cording from north yorkshire police — who has been awarded the british empire medal, for services to policing and to charity. first of all, congratulations. we go

play and someone said in 2005 there were 407 runs scored on the opening day. and yesterday it was the same! the australians got 40 of them but on big sporting occasion to get the build—up, and sometimes the action starts and you say, what was all that talk about? where as yesterday it almost outdid the talk. it's the first time in my lifetime that we actually for the last —— through the first punch. that was the message on the whole ground reacted to that and that one shot, one moment and that can create momentum for the england team. ,, ., ., ., team. setting the tone for a different time. _ team. setting the tone for a different time. wearing - team. setting the tone for a | different time. wearing blue team. setting the tone for a i different time. wearing blue in memory of— different time. wearing blue in memory of lzkob _
