match finely balanced. - in for a thrilling day. the test match finely balanced. goodl in for a thrilling day. the test - match finely balanced. good morning. you have heard of shrinkflation, have you heard of drinkflation? some breweries are bringing down alcohol content to save money on tax. eltonjohn elton john appears at eltonjohn appears at glastonbury and it could be his last concert. it couldn't be a more perfect ending to play in britain. they have all these so kind at glastonbury and i'm really looking forward to it. thundery downpours are pushing north—eastwards. on either side, sunshine and showers. some of those will be heavy and thundery. i will have the details later. it's tuesday, the 20th ofjune. a massive search and rescue operation is under way for a small submarine that went missing during an expedition to explore the wreck of the titanic
6:02 am
at the bottom of the atlantic. five people are on board, including the british billionaire hamish harding. the sub has enough oxygen for around four days — and has been missing since sunday, as nickjohnson reports small with barely enough room to sit. this is the titan submersible — tasked with diving to depths few other vessels can reach, now missing in the middle of the north atlantic. it's got one button and that's it. the dive had been organised by the tour firm ocean gate. its boss speaking to the bbc last year and describing how titan is steered. it's basically a sony playstation—style controller. if you want to go forward, you press forward. if you want to go back, you press back. you want to turn to the left — it's like that. you want to turn to the right, you turn to the right. the polar prince, the ship carrying the sub, left stjohn�*s in newfoundland, arriving near the wreck site on sunday. the sub then began its descent
6:03 am
to the sea bed, a journey thought to take around four hours. but after one hour and 45 minutes, contact was lost. the sub is around 7m long and can carry up to five people. there is said to be enough oxygen forfour days. the us coast guard in boston says it's coordinating the operation with help from other us and canadian agencies. it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area, but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board. this is what it's all about. catching a glimpse of the world's most famous shipwreck. images circulated to tv screens around the world for decades, nearly £200,000 for an expedition with ocean gate to see it with your own eyes. the wreck lies more than 300 miles
6:04 am
from the nearest coastline and two and a half miles below the sea's surface. as you go down into the ocean, light only penetrates for a couple hundred metres and, at that point, it's almost pitch black. and after you get one kilometre down, there's absolutely no light any more. which means that if it's at great depth, then they're going to be operating in complete darkness. in a post on social media, the family of british billionaire and explorer hamish harding has confirmed he's on board. posting on facebook over the weekend, mr harding described feeling proud that he would be on board the expedition and referred to the calibre of the other explorers taking part. all stations are reporting the dive as a go. please stand by. in a statement, oceangate said it's exploring all options to bring everyone back safely and that its entire focus is on the crew members and theirfamilies. nickjohnson, bbc news.
6:05 am
jessica parker is in boston and send us this update overnight. this is a major search operation involving people from canada and the us. multiple aircraft have been sent to the area and they are scanning the surface of the ocean to look for any sign of potentially the vessel re—emerging after it began the dive on sunday morning. sonar buoys have been dropped on the surface of the ocean to try to detect any activity. commercial vessels are being pulled in to help carry out this search. the search is happening 900 miles from the north—east coast of america. it is an extremely remote location that the us coast guard
6:06 am
says means it's challenging. they also said they anticipate they believe the vessel may have between 70-96 believe the vessel may have between 70—96 hours left of emergency oxygen. 70-96 hours left of emergency ox uen. ~ ~' , 70-96 hours left of emergency ox en, ~ 70-96 hours left of emergency oxen. ~ ., oxygen. we will keep across that story throughout _ oxygen. we will keep across that story throughout the _ oxygen. we will keep across that story throughout the programme oxygen. we will keep across that - story throughout the programme and speak to someone later who has been down to the wreckage in one of those submersibles. mps have voted overwhelmingly to back a report which found that borisjohnson deliberately lied to parliament about lockdown parties in downing street. 354 mps voted in favour of the privileges committee's findings, seven voted against, and 225 either abstained or didn't attend. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. what do the numbers tell us? it was pretty overwhelming in the end. seven conservative mps turning up to
6:07 am
back borisjohnson and to say they rejected the findings of this committee. there were more who expressed that opinion and chose not to vote yesterday but, to be honest, not that many and not enough to make a significant dent on the numbers. it does mean it was an emphatic rebuke of the former prime minister from the house of commons. remember, this was mps voted to say in essence we accept borisjohnson lied to parliament and needed to be punished for doing so. there is still criticism of mps who did not turn up yesterday. there were quite a lot, more than 200 conservatives, including the majority of the cabinet, including the prime minister who was branded cowardly for not saying how he would vote, on what his opinion on borisjohnson and the sanctions was. ultimately, what does this mean? it means boris
6:08 am
johnson's parliamentary career is overfor johnson's parliamentary career is over for now. johnson's parliamentary career is overfor now. it johnson's parliamentary career is over for now. it has ended with a stinging rebuke from his peers. nobody ever quite says definitively that boris johnson nobody ever quite says definitively that borisjohnson will never make a comeback. i have to say, given what happened last night, it would be difficult indeed. the former chancellor george osborne will give evidence to the covid—i9 inquiry today. he was the chancellor under david cameron, who gave evidence yesterday, and denied that his government's austerity policies damaged the uk's ability to cope with the virus, claiming that he needed to shore up the economy to protect public services like the nhs. more than six million people with disabilities will start to receive a £150 cost—of—living payment from today. the one—off payments, which will be issued over the next fortnight, are part of a wider package of support worth up to £1,350 to the most vulnerable households. the government is set to remove
6:09 am
a ban on opening new coalmines from its energy bill. peers in the house of lords voted to add the clause, but the government plans to scrap it before it reaches a vote of the whole house of commons. ministers also intend to scrap clauses which were designed to help small—scale community energy companies supply local homes. graeme souness has been meeting mps at the house of commons, just one day after taking part in a gruelling cross—channel swim. the former liverpool and scotland footballer was continuing his fight against a rare and debilitating skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa. john maguire was in westminster with graeme and the team. go, go, go. they had just swum through storms, fishing lanes and jellyfish. so coming to the house of commons wasn't going to faze them. thank you. we have done our wee bit, and it is a wee bit,
6:10 am
but these guys could make us reach the moon if theyjoin the fight, and we have to get as many people as possible to join the fight. you know, we've popped our head up above the trenches, they can carry the fight forward. we need to get government onside with us. simon weston, badly burned during the falklands war, understands how devastating living with severely damaged skin can be. he believes the awareness raised by the team is already making a difference. as graeme has said and we've been saying for years, it's the worst disease that nobody�*s ever heard of. but it's something now that a lot more people know about, a lot more people have bought into so that people can get the right type of information, so that they can do something if they wish to help us. nice to meet you, isla. this was a chance for families, and people like isla who have permanent pain, to give mps an insight into their lives. i wanted to come along to give my support. i think, actually,
6:11 am
what is a cross—party issue of wanting to make sure that families who are affected by rare diseases like eb get the support they need, but, also, that those conditions are getting a fair share of the budget, too. with high—profile events such as the swim, the money raised will change and, one day, hopefully, save lives. but for charities such as debra and cure eb, that increased awareness is vital because it lets them know that they're not fighting this horrific disease alone. john maguire, bbc news, westminster. an incredible achievement. still going in a different way. i said he could have done with this leap. here's some good news for those of us who like to take a0 winks. i love a nap. do you? i love a nap. regular napping during the day
6:12 am
could help to preserve brain health. researchers at university college london found that nappers' brains were 15 cubic centimetres larger than those without a daytime snooze. equivalent to delaying ageing by between three and six years. so take a pillow today and tell your boss it is in the interests of your long—term brain health. i think you have to get used to having a nap in the day and you cannot nap too long. i tried to resist it when i got the job and you said to nap and it works. it does work. there is a rebel in the camp. i cannot nap. it makes me feel sick. now i am thinking, maybe that is what has gone wrong. your brain is very healthy. bless you. don't have a lie down
6:13 am
now. it is lovely to see you both. and good morning to you. you might want to take an umbrella with you because today we are looking at heavy rain and thunderstorms. heavy rain currently across the south—west of england that has been moving slowly north—eastwards. we are looking at large rainfall totals in a small amount of time. it will drift north—east through the day. on either side, sunshine but also showers. some of those will be thundery. in some heavy showers we will see hail, two centimetres for example in diameter. these are the temperatures. maybe somewhere in the south—east we will see 25. play might be delayed at edgbaston until the rain passes through. this afternoon, the chance of a shower.
6:14 am
overnight, the rain moves away into the north sea. showers will fade. we could see some coming into the west at the end of the night. another humid night. these are the overnight lows. 12—14. tomorrow, we start on a largely dry note. fog will disperse quickly. showers across northern ireland, scotland, northern england. some of those could be heavy and thundery and between them, some sunshine. sea breeze is developing in the south and west. in devon and cornwall, thundery downpours. the best chance of staying dry is east anglia and the south—east where we are looking at temperatures up to 26. but a fresh i6 are looking at temperatures up to 26. but a fresh 16 in the far north of scotland. and of course i wasjoking. of scotland. and of course i wasjoking. maybe of scotland. and of course i wasjoking. maybe go and have a little nap and see how you feel after that. we will see you
6:15 am
again soon. we love having it in. when it comes to fighting crime, the first thing many people would like to see is more bobbies on the beat. but what if that's something your local force can't necessarily provide? businesses in some parts of london are clubbing together to pay for the next best thing — private security guards who patrol the streets to deter, and sometimes detain, shoplifters. patrolling their local beat. but vitor and nate here are clearly not met police officers. they're private bobbies paid for by businesses in clapham junction who are worried about shoplifting. hello. it's obviously scary. it's not nice for a business, especially recovering post—covid. you normally find it's usually a few people coming in at the same time. somebody trying to make a little bit of a hustle, bustle, distraction. she shows us the whatsapp group where stores now report shoplifting.
6:16 am
many claim when they have called police, they don't always respond. i understand that there probably are bigger crimes happening elsewhere and the met is stretched, etc. however, yeah, you would like to have some sort of a response, have somebody held accountable. it's why the business improvement district here, representing around 400 firms, decided to pay for private patrols. before the pandemic, you had regular policemen who were always the same people — you know, you'd spot them and they were regularly around the area. post—pandemic, they literally disappeared overnight. there's a general awareness now that the police don't exist in the public domain in the resources that they used to. i think there's also an awareness that the police are very much tied up with increasing bureaucracy. the met police says it's not a new development for businesses to employ private security firms and that it works closely with them. across london, shoplifting has risen
6:17 am
by 21% in the past year, though some people believe that figure could be far higher because not all offences are being reported. but is paying for a service traditionally provided by the police a good idea? it does bring up a lot of questions between private and public security, and i imagine that that might also be scary for some people. i guess it's a worry in that, you know, that if we don't think the police that our taxes fund can cope with something that shouldn't be a major issue. i think it depends on the individuals they recruit. i think certain individuals need to be vetted when it comes to positions of authority. and if you are not careful enough and you are not filtering a specific kind of person, then things can go wrong. the team here say the bobbies are thoroughly vetted and mainly provide a visible deterrent, but they sometimes make a citizen's arrest and they can use handcuffs. it can only take place once the appropriate or authentic training has been been put in place
6:18 am
and is properly evidenced and available. the met commissioner has promised to rebuild neighbourhood policing, but businesses here can't wait. they say paying for protection is the only alternative. sonya jessop, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the missing submarine dominates many of them. pictured on the front of the telegraph is british billionaire hamish harding who's among the five people on board. the sun also. the daily mirror leads with evidence given by former prime minister david cameron to the covid inquiry, in which he denied that the austerity measures enforced
6:19 am
by his government had damaged the uk's preparedness for a pandemic. the paper says grieving relatives of people who died during the pandemic shouted "shame on you" as mr cameron left the building. and guess what's the most watched video on the bbc website. # one more time. it's yesterday morning's chaos here on the breakfast sofa. britain's got talent winner viggo venn made quite the entrance when he appeared on yesterday's show. very popular. very popular online. we managed to clean up all the confetti. some of the inside pages. the times has an interesting story saying our view of the romantic hero has changed. tall, dark and handsome is out. what? a small, chubby, it is in.
6:20 am
i think it is not wanting to eat a cinnamon roll. it is because they are soft on the inside. they are ditching alpha males for hunks who are sweet and mushy on the inside. not sure about that. let's move on to beyonce. always. sir paul mccartney at the beyonce concert. on his birthday. 81. at a beyonce gig with naomi campbell. that is living when you are 81. a beyonce gig with a supermodel. now, you've heard about shrinkflation — that's when you get a smaller portion of food — but what about "drinkflation"? nina's at a brewery to tell us why some alcoholic drinks are getting weaker.
6:21 am
iam i am sorry we have sent a pregnant lady to a pub. i will be spending a lot of time in the pub in the coming months. good morning from seven brothers brewery in salford. brewing twice a day here. these are fermenting vessels. 10,000 pints made in each. some ipa and some lager. if you think about the cost going into brewing beer. you can see the stacks of malt and barley. the labour cost and energy cost. the packaging. it is all going up. little wonder breweries are looking at ways to save money. for tax reasons, away they can do that is to reduce alcohol content. fosters for example reduced their percentage of alcohol by 0.2%. old
6:22 am
speckled hen, bishop's finger, spitfire. they reduced theirs by 0.3%. what is interesting, that will only save about £3 pint for pint. and when we drink 7.5 billion annually, that all adds up. we can talk to keith who is the ceo of the brewery. you drew the short straw of the 11 siblings. good to see you. the main thing people will be thinking is if they can taste the difference if there is less alcohol. with changes like that, probably not. there are many reasons why the brewery has done this. brewers like ourselves, small and large, we are faced with spiralling costs probably since brexit. that has made a difference. the pandemic has hit breweries hard. and then with the
6:23 am
conflict in ukraine, with ukraine being a huge provider and supplier of malta and bali for the whole world, we have seen costs spiral over the last five years. the main reason you see breweries doing what they are doing is that what comes into effect on the 1st of august this year, will be hmrc duty reforms. it means that the calculation for the cost of duty has changed. when you think about the savings. £3 per pint. you are deciding not to do that. why is that? we decided not to do it. we have a split between trade to bars and pubs
6:24 am
as opposed to off trade which is supermarkets as well. the changes affect how you actually sell your product. the changes will affect companies that go from 20 litres and below. it will affect things like your 330 millilitres cans that you might die in the supermarket. is it the shape of things to come? we heard people saying the crisps do not taste as cheesy, chocolate bars get smaller. will we have to get used to this?— get smaller. will we have to get used to this? _ . ., , used to this? possibly. we have been faced with spiralling _ used to this? possibly. we have been faced with spiralling costs _ used to this? possibly. we have been faced with spiralling costs over - used to this? possibly. we have been faced with spiralling costs over the i faced with spiralling costs over the past five years. you have to find ways to mitigate that and you have to take a decision whether you can absorb that over the long run or pass the costs onto the consumer. thank you, keith. it is interesting what keith was saying that we will see this happening with more
6:25 am
products. heineken said reducing the alcohol content is as much about health. but you will be forgiven for thinking i am paying more for the product and getting less alcohol and thatis product and getting less alcohol and that is something we have seen with products across the board because prices and costs keep on rising. studio: thank you. you're watching bbc breakfast. still to come on today's programme. it may be strange to her coming into a new field. does not know what she is going to meet and see. i think she enjoyed this. the boney m lead singer liz mitchell and her dad norman have been honoured as members of the windrush generation who've contributed to british life. we'll hear from both of them in a few minutes. you will not believe how old norman
6:26 am
is. we will tell you because i did not believe it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london i'm thomas magill. a man has been arrested after three women were sexually assaulted in east london. the victims were attacked near shoreditch park in hackney on thursday, friday and sunday. the met is urging and women who may have been approached by a man in the area to get in touch by dialing 101. an investigation into the murder of a teenager in central london is continuing. police were called to paddington green shortly after lunchtime yesterday to reports of a stabbing. when they arrived the found a boy — thought to be 17 with stab wounds. despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene. no arrests have been made.
6:27 am
residents in north—west london recently found themselves being targetted by a crow. the bird, who was believed to be protecting its young, was dive—bombing people with long hair, causing panic. many locals in gospel oak say they found the experience pretty scary. suddenly there was a thump on my back, a really hard thump and i thought, what's that? and i thought, it was a crow! it's attacked me. they were pecking at my head and two crows were pecking at my dog's back. it came on to me, i don'ti know, five times, maybe. and he kind of really become delusional. i now, many of you will only be getting up around now — but if you need an excuse for a wee nap later today, then this is the story for you. researchers say having a snooze is good for your brain and keeps it biggerfor longer. experts from university college london having been looking into this and say poor sleep is causes inflammation of the brain. however, they also recommend keeping any naps to less than half an hour.
6:28 am
let's take a look at the tubes to see how things are running this morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it's another warm and humid start this morning. some heavy rain but to follow on, some sunny spells a little later. the met office has a yellow weather warning for the heavy rain, it could just be torrential for a time to this morning ahead of it clearing northwards. rumbles of thunder, lightning, also some hail. to follow this afternoon, though, sunny spells which in turn could spark off one or two sharp showers again and you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder and temperatures today getting up to 2a celsius. overnight tonight the shower risk fades so largely dry, clear, could you see a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning. it's going to be another warm night, the minimum temperature around 13 or 1a celsius. bright start tomorrow, certainly fewer showers than today but we really can't rule them out. we could still get one or two. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 25 celsius.
6:29 am
as we head through the rest of the week a ridge of high pressure builds for thursday and friday, so certainly becoming a bit drier and into the weekend, temperatures getting a little warmer. by the end of the weekend we might just see 30 celsius, not only daytime temperatures warmer but night—time temperatures uncomfortable too. that's it from me, more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's back to sally and john. good morning, welcome to breakfast to dave with sally nugent and jon kay. it's final day of the first ashes test — and it's all set up for an epic finish. john's back at edgbaston this morning. good morning. hello, everybody. how are yourfingernails? have good morning. hello, everybody. how are your fingernails? have you chewed through them on a thrilling
6:30 am
first ashes test so far because i think we are in for another nailbiter today on the final day of this first ashes test and which rate goes could be anyone's gas. it has been a yo—yo of momentum throughout. england will feel slightly on top after the key wickets from stuart broad yesterday after england had set australia a victory target of 281. australia will resume this morning on 107 a3. they need 17a more runs for victory on the final day of this first test. england will need to take seven wickets if they are to win it. i tell you what, which raiders goes is anybody�*s guess, but it will be thrilling as patrick geary now reports. an evening of adrenaline. this is what stuart broad does, charging in taking two huge aussie wickets in an edgbaston cauldron. it was great fun. you know, i think playing here at edgbaston, for me, engaging the crowd is something that i really love doing and running in to bowl with the crowd roaring
6:31 am
behind me was a feeling that i'll rememberforever. this england team are busily flipping the conventions of test cricket one shot at a time. joe root started brilliantly... but eventually charged too far. yeah. stumped off nathan lyon. a big wicket, a big moment. the aussies kept chipping away, when england captain ben stokes went in the afternoon, they looked to be on top. ollie robinson has been irritating the australians with chat — and now bat. together with the tail he took england's lead to 280 before they were bowled out at tea. crowd cheering. so to the final innings, australia's innings, and they began it well. they were 61 for no wicket when robinson had his say again. david warner gone, edgbaston up. so stuart broad had something to feed off. this is his habitat and that was marnus labuschagne — best in the world.
6:32 am
steve smith is number two — gone to broad too. the game is set up for its final act. what an end to the day for england. but australia did make 107 runs and now a lot depends on the weather on the final day, how much play we'll get and in what conditions will that play be? because the scene is set for an amazing finish. patrick geary, bbc news at edgbaston. i think we are in for a thrilling day. it was a night to remember for bukayo saka as england thumped north macedonia 7—0 at old trafford. but welsh hopes of reaching euro 202a took another huge blow and there was disappointment for northern ireland too as andy swiss reports. ending the season in style.
6:33 am
england's new hat—trick hero. bukayo saka might only be 21, but as north macedonia discovered, talent is timeless. bukayo sa ka! saka's first was ferocious. his second, just after the break, was something else. hit it! the poise and then the power. that smile said it all. football doesn't get much better, but moments later it did, as saka rounded off his hat—trick in ruthless fashion. it was the highlight of a thumping 7—0 win for england, rounded off by harry kane, which puts them in sight of qualification. for robert page's wales team though, what a contrast. a red card forjoe morrell made their task even tougher against turkey, who duly went on to clinch a 2—0 win. wales now down in fourth in their group after another big setback to their hopes. and there was also disappointment for northern ireland, beaten 1—0 by a late kazakhstan winner.
6:34 am
for them, also a hugely frustrating night. andy swift, bbc news. scotla nd scotland have never won four in a row in qualifying, but they can later. steve clark's side can maintain their 100% start in qualifying. brilliant performance last time out a way to norway. listen, if you're doing well professionally you feel good about yourself. so the players feel good, they're looking forward to another full house here at hampden, they're looking forward to putting on another good performance and hopefully we get the right result and that feel—good factor continues. brendan rodgers has returned as celtic manager four years after leaving to join leicester
6:35 am
city. the northern irishman has agreed a three—year contract with the scottish champions to replace ange postecoglou, who left for tottenham this month. coaches john kennedy and gavin strachan are staying on to work with rodgers despite reported interest from spurs. andy murray is in action at the queens tournament later. murray, who's won back to back grass—court titles, faces world number 18 alex de minaur. the 36—year—old scot needs to do well this week, if he's to be seeded at wimbledon. we will be hearing from him later in the programme. british number one cameron norrie made a solid start to his queens campaign. norrie saw off miomir kecmanovic of serbia in straight sets. but dan evans is out. he was beaten in straight
6:36 am
sets by the american sebastian korda 6—a, 7—5. it's the start of royal ascot today with five days of thrilling action ahead. ican i can expect we will see some pretty impressive outfits as well. this is the highlight of british flat racing season, with 35 races scheduled for this years meeting. thousands of guests are expected to attend in their finest attire of course, including members of the royal family, we will bring you some of the highlights over the course of the coming days. as far as to day is concerned, it is around this time of morning receive the cover is off at edgbaston. not this morning, with rain forecast. those covers are staying on. the good news is it is it is set to clear later on so we should, we hope, have enough play today to see
6:37 am
a result in this enthralling test match. which way it goes, is anyone's gas. i know standing here in the stand, always brings the atmosphere and sense of occasion. they will be in full voice and it was at some point yesterday i saw an inflatable crocodile and an inflatable crocodile and an inflatable unicorn making its way down over the thousands packed in here towards the pitch. i wonder what we will see today. your inflatable of choices, unicorn or crocodile? always a unicorn for me, always. great stuff, not much napping going on there this afternoon. i sometimes think of the cricket thatis i sometimes think of the cricket that is a bit napping. not this afternoon. we will have the weather for edgbaston and the rest of us in a couple of minutes. we re about to mark the 75th anniversary of the empire windrush ship docking in britain, with more than 800 passengers onboard. two of the so—called "windrush generation" — those who arrived in the early period of post—war migration
6:38 am
from the caribbean — are the boney m lead singer liz mitchell and her dad, norman. both have been honoured for their contribution to british society in different ways and they've been talking to our correspondent celestina olulode. # by the rivers of babylon #. boney m in their heyday, performing their number one single rivers of babylon, the uk's seventh best selling hit of all time. # when we remembered zion #. the band, sold over 100 million records in the �*70s and �*80s disco era. liz mitchell is the original lead singer. # all the water run dry #. her musical achievements continue to be celebrated. now liz has returned to the place where she grew up. born injamaica, she lived with her grandmother until the age of 11, when she boarded a plane alone to join the rest of herfamily in the uk.
6:39 am
i was very excited to meet my parents for the very first time. even though i knew of them and had seen maybe one picture at some point, i didn't know them. you know, it may be a bit strange to her coming into a new feel. don't know what she is going to meet and see, but i think she enjoyed this life. norman started life in the uk as a builder. i came here in 1955. my age now is 102 years, six months plus. even in the bitterest months... after the second world war, thousands of caribbeans were invited to help rebuild britain. known to some as the mother country. when we was in school, we have learned so many things about our mother country, that the streets
6:40 am
are paved with gold. when i came here it was quite a lot different. it was surprising because what we were told is not what we come and find. when we came, mother didn't treat us as how they should treat us. despite early hardships, norman supported his local community. when i received my mbe from prince charles, which is now king charles, he asked me, "what work did you do to obtain this reward?" so i said to him, "running a club." "and how long did you run that club?" "it was 33 years and also community works." and he said, "that's very good."
6:41 am
success runs in the family, as this boney m hit track is being celebrated all over again by millions of new fans who took up this dance challenge on social media. rasputin is now the most streamed song of their back catalog. when a work is done and it is done well and you see the results much later, it it lives, it doesn't die. today i go to a country where i may sing our songs acappella or live for the audience and and they freak out people. i'll be in the airport and somebody would hear me speak and they go, "that's the voice of boney m." and they don't know my face, but they know my voice. that says to me that i did something that was very warming to the souls of people. a father and daughter

with a legacy that's firmly part of the windrush story. celestina oluloode, bbc news. thanks to liz and norman for talking to us and we cannot get over the fact that norman is 102. i bet he has and that! he looks amazing. here's carol with a look at the weather. how is the weather looking at edgbaston for the cricket? play may be delayed because this afternoon there is a risk of showers. there may be some delay this afternoon as well. same for royal ascot, this afternoon as well. same for royalascot, by this afternoon as well. same for royal ascot, by the time royal ascot starts, the rain should have gone through but we could catch a shower in the afternoon at the same for queens. what we have today is the risk of thunderstorms once again. we have heavy rain pushing northwards, thatis
6:43 am
have heavy rain pushing northwards, that is going to contain some thunderstorms as it currently is doing and all around it we will see some showers, some sunshine as well. but those showers could be thundery. this is what we have had so far. again we are looking at large rainfall totals injust a matter of hours. through the rest of the morning, rain will continue to slowly push northwards and eastwards, hence you can see it affecting edgbaston. behind it, a return to sunshine and some showers and ahead of it, a sunny start with just a few showers. but through the day as temperatures rise, more showers will develop and some of those will notjust be heavy and thundery but also large hail and gusty winds around them as well. the showers, as we go through the night and into tomorrow, crossing northern ireland into parts of scotland as well. and also getting in across northern england. these are the temperatures, 16 to 2a degrees. going to feel humid wherever you are. then as we move through the evening and overnight we will continue to see some of those
6:44 am
showers. they will fade for a time and then eventually by the end of the night they will be in some western areas. you can see how they start to fade, there will be clear skies, mist and fog patches forming as well. they will lift quite readily tomorrow and once again, it is going to feel quite humid. overnight lows of 12 to about 1a degrees. heading through the course of tomorrow, what you will find is we will still have showers around, the heaviest in the northern half of the heaviest in the northern half of the country and some in the south—west as well. hardly an ice bar on the charts to blow their showers away quite quickly. a lot of dry weather, especially first thing but some of the showers in the north in particular, could have some hail and thunder and lightning mixed in. the sea breeze is developing across the south and the west and in the spine, devon and cornwall could see some heavy thundery showers developing through the course of the afternoon. by the end of the week we have a transient ridge of high
6:45 am
pressure coming our way, but these weather fronts trying to come in from the west will introduce rain at times. and through the course of the weekend is going to turn more humid as well. on thursday, there is the transit ridge of high pressure with fewer showers around but by the end of thursday we will start to see the cloud building out towards the west. then we are looking at some rain coming in through the west as we head on through friday and into saturday. but the temperatures are going to climb. once again, it is going to climb. once again, it is going to climb. once again, it is going to feel quite humid most of us. getting used to that at the moment. thank you. important health story for you this morning. the uk health security agency has announced a change to the way it vaccinates girls against hpv, or the human papillomavirus — which can cause cancer. the first vaccination programme began in uk schools for girls aged 12 to 13 in 2008, with three doses. in 201a it changed to two doses, with the second being six to 12 months
6:46 am
after the first. and from september this year it will drop down to one single dose, following advice from several health organisations. we're joined now by doctor vanessa saliba, who is an immunisation specialist from the uk health. good from the uk health. morning. good from the uk health. morninu. ., in good from the uk health. morninu. ., m like good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed _ good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed a _ good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed a lot, _ good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed a lot, so _ good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed a lot, so why - good morning. good morning. it seems like it has changed a lot, so why go - like it has changed a lot, so why go down to one dose? it is like it has changed a lot, so why go down to one dose?— like it has changed a lot, so why go down to one dose? it is good news, we offer the — down to one dose? it is good news, we offer the hpv _ down to one dose? it is good news, we offer the hpv vaccine _ down to one dose? it is good news, we offer the hpv vaccine to - down to one dose? it is good news, we offer the hpv vaccine to all - we offer the hpv vaccine to all children, boys and girls in school year age when they turn 12 to 13 years. we offer it to prevent cancer, prevent cancer that develops later in life. the vaccine protects against harmful hpv types that cause cervical cancer, cancers of the mouth and throat. genital councils and in all cancer. the good news is we have had this vaccine for about 15 years and we have had lots and lots of evidence builds up over that time to show the vaccine works
6:47 am
really, really well. and as you say, the joint really, really well. and as you say, thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation and the world health organization have looked at the evidence and it is now clear that one dose gives very robust protection, comparable to two doses. from september, we are not doing it now, but letting parents know, when they get offered the vaccine in september the child will only need one dose to be fully protected. i5 one dose to be fully protected. is the thinking behind this that it is easier to get a bigger take—up of of one dose? easier to get a bigger take-up of of one dose? . , easier to get a bigger take-up of of one dose? ., , ., ., , one dose? that is going to be the ositive one dose? that is going to be the positive side _ one dose? that is going to be the positive side effect _ one dose? that is going to be the positive side effect of— one dose? that is going to be the positive side effect of this, - one dose? that is going to be the positive side effect of this, that l positive side effect of this, that is right. we want every child to take up the vaccine to prevent these cancers. over the pandemic we have seen a slight fall in uptake. not a very big one but we do want every child to be protected and we want to prevent these cancers, the suffering and the debts. we hope immunise us in schools can help to make sure we achieve as high uptake as we possibly can and catch up on the children who missed out during the
6:48 am
pandemic. i should say, you can get the hpv vaccine for free on the nhs until you turn 25. if you are a parent and not sure if your child has had it, check their red book and ask the school immunisation team and you can catch up through your gp practice. it you can catch up through your gp ractice. , ., , practice. it is always finding the red book in _ practice. it is always finding the red book in my _ practice. it is always finding the red book in my house, - practice. it is always finding the red book in my house, that - practice. it is always finding the red book in my house, that is l practice. it is always finding the i red book in my house, that is the issue. he said that it has been really effective, this vaccine. just how effective has been, what are we seeing in terms of those cancers you are talking about?— are talking about? cervical cancer is still one — are talking about? cervical cancer is still one of— are talking about? cervical cancer is still one of the _ are talking about? cervical cancer is still one of the global _ are talking about? cervical cancer is still one of the global leading i is still one of the global leading causes of cancer in women. before we had the vaccine we used to see about a000 new cancer cases a year of cervical cancer. about one in three of women who got that invasive cervical cancer diagnosis would not make it beyond five years. these are cancers that occur in young women, women in their 30s and it takes away mothers from young children, it is a
6:49 am
devastating illness. this vaccine has been incredible. what we have shown over the last 15 years the girls who had the vaccine, who were offered the vaccine when they were younger, their rates of cervical cancer have gone down by 87%, when you compare it to the cervical cancer rates in women who are older, who were born before the vaccine was available. it is a massive reduction and only the beginning. many of the cancer is caused by hpv come down the line for quite a few years after you get infected. we will be learning more and accumulating more evidence about all the cancer it is preventing as time goes on. it is not 'ust preventing as time goes on. it is notjust children _ preventing as time goes on. it is notjust children who preventing as time goes on. it is not just children who should be notjust children who should be considered, there are other groups as well? . , considered, there are other groups as well? ., , ., as well? that is right, the routine programme _ as well? that is right, the routine programme is _ as well? that is right, the routine programme is for _ as well? that is right, the routine programme is for all _ as well? that is right, the routine programme is for all children - as well? that is right, the routine programme is for all children a i as well? that is right, the routine l programme is for all children a year eight, but we have a targeted programme for gay and bisexual men who have sex with men who attend sexual health clinics and hiv clinics. forthose sexual health clinics and hiv clinics. for those men under the age of 25, they also will only need one
6:50 am
dose to be protected. if they are over 25 years old, 25 to a5, they will need two doses. if you are immunosuppressive, if your immune system doesn't work so well or living with hiv you will be on the three dose schedule. but your doctor and clinician will let you know and they will offer you the vaccine when they will offer you the vaccine when they are due. for they will offer you the vaccine when they are due-— they are due. for people watching latel , we they are due. for people watching lately. we have — they are due. for people watching lately, we have had _ they are due. for people watching lately, we have had so _ they are due. for people watching lately, we have had so many - they are due. for people watching . lately, we have had so many vaccines and boosters, with covid and who are worried about having the vaccines, what is your message to them? mr; what is your message to them? my lea is what is your message to them? ij�*i plea is for what is your message to them? m: plea is for those young what is your message to them? m; plea is for those young people and parents of teenagers to please take up parents of teenagers to please take up the offer of the hpv vaccine when it is introduced in school. when you get the consent form, make sure it is signed, make sure you respond. it can save your child's lie. it can prevent cancer, take away the suffering, so take it up and catch up suffering, so take it up and catch up if you have missed out. thank you ve much up if you have missed out. thank you very much indeed _ up if you have missed out. thank you very much indeed for— up if you have missed out. thank you very much indeed for coming - up if you have missed out. thank you
6:51 am
very much indeed for coming in. - sir eltonjohn will be playing his final uk gig this weekend — and some would argue he's saved the best until last. he'll be on the pyramid stage at glastonbury, which will be his first ever appearance at the festival. to mark the occasion, sir elton invited bbc radio one's clara amfo into his home for a chat about his incredible career, and some of the artists he's most looking forward to watching. with a career spanning five decades and a back catalogue featuring some of pop music's greatest records, elton john is finally making his debut on glastonbury�*s pyramid stage. but before his headline performance on the sunday, i sat down with him at his home amongst his very impressive record collection to pick the artist that he's most excited to see at this year's festival. thank you, clara. so lovely to see you in my record room. yeah, we are in your actual record room, and it would be remiss of me to not talk about everything that is surrounding us. i kind of gave myself crick neck
6:52 am
earlier because i was just staring at everything. how do you go about making sure you keep the things that truly matter to you when it comes to this room? well, you know what? i sold all my vinyl many years ago to a collector and st louis because i didn't have anywhere to put it. and then since its resurgence, thankfully, i had to collect it, most of it all again and with some extra additions. and the thing now is because of the resurgence, it's easier to get a record on vinyl than it is to on a cd because most people don't have cds anymore. and i have both. but it's been, its been fantastic. i have a person at rough trade in in kensington called chris summers that sends me the vinyls coming out every week and i take it off and then i go to an america and one called pause and play and i, you know, and i write them down and then when i get them,
6:53 am
i throw them. it's such a romantic way of collecting music. well, that's it, isn't it? because it's such a lovely thing and it's a convenient thing to be able to stream and whatnot. but there is something, as you say, very romantic about, you know, going to your collection, pulling out what you want. there's an intention there, isn't there? well, i get so excited when i get something on vinyl. we were just talking before we started the interview about the last three solo albums, came out about two weeks ago on vinyl, and i'm so thrilled i wasjumping up and down because i'm a huge salt and clear soulfan. so those it makes it exciting. it was like when i used to collect records in the seventies at music land in bourke street and seeing the record in the store and you get so excited. i feel the same way now. it's just as exciting. this is why i'm delighted to be here. this is why you are playing glastonbury this year, because it's that passion that has kept you doing what you do. i think every time i've had the joy of meeting you, i always walk away feeling really buoyant because you're, yeah, you're just your passion for music as well as other people's music.
6:54 am
more importantly, well, when we ever meet, we just all we talk about his new music, which is which i love. i mean, i'm not i'm not really interested in the old stuff. i know that. but new there's so much good stuff around. you know, there is, you know, you play it glastonbury. so ahead of your very first glastonbury show, your last ever uk show, i'm going to say for now, i hope you don't leave us. thank you so much for having us. oh, it's so great. i'm so looking forward to seeing you at glastonbury and having the best time. never played it, but it's come around of the best time in my career to play it and we're going to have guests. well, i can't tell you, but it's a different show to what people have been seeing on the farewell yellow brick road tour. which is good. i didn't want to do the same thing for glastonbury. i've never been to glastonbury. i've played a couple of festivals in britain and a couple in america. i'm not really played that many festivals. i've watched glastonbury on the tv and the thing that i love about glastonbury is not the headliners, per se. it's the people in the smaller stages that they give the chance to shine to. so if i wasn't glastonbury,
6:55 am
i would probably be one of the smaller tents looking at one of the newer acts playing, because that's what i want to see. but i've never been asked to play before, so it's come at a time when it couldn't be more perfect ending to play in britain and then to play at glastonbury. and they've all been so kind at the glastonbury and i'm really looking forward to it. and i've got the setlist down, i've got the rehearsal dates booked for the guest artists, so we just have to hope the weather would still be nice. how would you go about selecting, giving the people what they want? well, i'm a little bit rough. there's quite a lot of deep cuts. there's not all hits. you've got to keep people interested. you know, there's no deep cuts where they're going to go, oh, i need to have a pee or something. and you know, when you put a setlist together, its really like you want it to climax at the end. and then towards the end of the show, all hell breaks loose. so i'm starting the set with a song
6:56 am
i haven't played on stage for about ten years, so we'll see how it goes. you never can predict how it's going to go, but i'm so excited about it and i can't thank emily for being so kind and so supportive and so they've been really wonderful. bring on glastonbury. ok, girl. they are on sunday evening. how cool would that be. you have seen him haven't you? yes, but i would love to go to his house, his record collection at home. you can listen to the full interview at seven o'clock of future sounds on bbc radio 1 or watch it on the bbc iplayer. you are watching bbc breakfast, still to come on the programme. the vicar and broadcaster, reverend richard coles will be joining vicar and broadcaster, reverend richard coles will bejoining us vicar and broadcaster, reverend richard coles will be joining us for a chat about his new book, his latest adventures and how he has found love again after the death of his husband. all of that coming up, but let's get the news where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a man has been arrested
6:57 am
after three women were sexually assaulted in east london. the victims were attacked near shoreditch park in hackney on thursday, friday and sunday. the met is urging any women who may have been approached by a man in the area to get in touch. an investigation into the murder of a teenager in central london is continuing this morning. police were called to paddington green shortly after lunchtime yesterday. when they arrived they found a boy — thought to be 17 — suffering from stab wounds. despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene. of the emergency services, no arrests have been made. of the emergency services, residents in northwest london recently found themselves being targeted by a crow. the bird — who was believed to be protecting its young — was dive—bombing people with long hair, causing panic. many locals in gospel oak say they found the experience pretty scary. suddenly, there was a thump on my back, a really hard thump and i thought, what's that?
6:58 am
and i was it was a crow! it's attacked me. they were pecking at my head and two crows were pecking at my dog's back. it happened i don't know, five times, maybe. - and he kind of really become delusional. i many of you will only be getting up around now — but if you need an excuse for a nap later today, then this is the story for you. researchers say having a snooze during the day is good for your brain. experts from university college london have been looking into this and say poor sleep causes inflammation and shrinkage of the brain. however, they also recommend keeping any naps to less than half an hour. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service. now the weather with kate kinsella. it's another warm and humid start this morning. some heavy rain but to follow on, some sunny spells a little later. the met office has a yellow weather warning for the heavy rain, it could just be torrential
6:59 am
for a time to this morning ahead for a time through this morning ahead of it clearing northwards. rumbles of thunder, lightning, also some hail. to follow this afternoon, though, sunny spells which in turn could spark off one or two sharp showers again and you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder and temperatures today getting up to 2a celsius. overnight tonight, the shower risk fades so largely dry, clear, could you see a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning. it's going to be another warm night, the minimum temperature around 13 or 1a celsius. a bright start tomorrow, certainly fewer showers than today but we really can't rule them out. we could still get one or two. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 25 celsius. as we head through the rest of the week, a ridge of high pressure builds for thursday and friday, so certainly becoming a bit drier and into the weekend, temperatures getting a little warmer. by the end of the weekend, we mightjust see 30 celsius, not only daytime temperatures warmer but night—time temperatures uncomfortable too. that's it.
7:00 am
more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a major search operation is under way after a tourist submarine went missing during a dive to the wreck of the titanic — british billionaire hamish harding is one of five people on board. the ayes to the right 35a. mps overwhelmingly back the report that said former prime minister borisjohnson deliberately misled the commons, deliberately misled the commons over lockdown parties in downing street. an international investigation into the abuse of baby monkeys — three uk women are arrested,
7:01 am
accused of being involved in their torture. morning from edgbaston when the rain is falling. the forecast looks better later and it is set up for a thrilling final day in this ashes test. stuart broad with two late wickets yesterday to leave it finely poised. the forecast for edgbaston this afternoon is sunshine and showers. all of us have heavy rain by pushing northwards. it could be thundery. at the side, sunshine and showers and some showers will be thundery with large hail. more later. it's tuesday, the 20th ofjune. the us coast guard said it is doing
7:02 am
everything it can to find a tourist submarine that has gone missing during an expedition to explore the wreck of the titanic. five people are on board, including the british billionaire hamish harding. the sub has enough oxygen for around four days — and has been missing since sunday, as nickjohnson reports small with barely enough room to sit. this is the titan submersible — tasked with diving to depths few other vessels can reach, now missing in the middle of the north atlantic. it's got one button and that's it. the dive had been organised by the tour firm oceangate. its boss speaking to the bbc last year and describing how titan is steered. it's basically a sony playstation—style controller. if you want to go forward, you press forward. if you want to go back, you press back. you want to turn to the left — it's like that. you want to turn to the right, you turn to the right. the polar prince, the ship carrying the sub, left stjohn�*s in newfoundland, arriving near the wreck site on sunday.
7:03 am
the sub then began its descent to the sea bed, a journey thought to take around four hours. but after one hour and a5 minutes, contact was lost. the sub is around 7m long and can carry up to five people. there is said to be enough oxygen forfour days. the us coast guard in boston says it's coordinating the operation with help from other us and canadian agencies. it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area, but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board. this is what it's all about. catching a glimpse of the world's most famous shipwreck. images circulated to tv screens around the world for decades, nearly £200,000 for an expedition with ocean gate to see
7:04 am
with oceangate to see it with your own eyes. the wreck lies more than 300 miles from the nearest coastline and two and a half miles below the sea's surface. as you go down into the ocean, light only penetrates for a couple hundred metres and, at that point, it's almost pitch black. and after you get one kilometre down, there's absolutely no light any more. which means that if it's at great depth, then they're going to be operating in complete darkness. in a post on social media, the family of british billionaire and explorer hamish harding has confirmed he's on board. posting on facebook over the weekend, mr harding described feeling proud that he would be on board the expedition and referred to the calibre of the other explorers taking part. all stations are reporting the dive as a go. please stand by. in a statement, oceangate said it's exploring all options to bring everyone back safely and that its entire focus is on the crew members
7:05 am
and theirfamilies. nickjohnson, bbc news. jessica parker is in boston and sent us this update overnight. this is a major search operation involving people from canada and the us. multiple aircraft have been sent to the area and they are scanning the surface of the ocean to look for any sign of potentially the vessel re—emerging after it began that dive on sunday morning. sonar buoys have been dropped onto the surface of the ocean to try to detect any activity. commercial vessels are being pulled in to help carry out this search. the search is happening 900 miles from the north—east coast of america. it is an extremely remote location that the us coast guard says means it's challenging.
7:06 am
they also said they anticipate they believe the vessel may have between 70—96 hours left of emergency oxygen. that update from boston. in the past minutes, the family of two other passengers on board the submarine have released a statement that says ourson have released a statement that says our son and his son had embarked on a journey to visit the remnants of the titanic in the atlantic ocean. as of now, contact has been lost... both are understood to live in the uk. and he is a trustee on two boards and a member of the global advisory board for the princes trust international. that is a story we
7:07 am
will watch closely. and we will hear from a gentleman who did the trip to the wreck of titanic a few months ago. he can tell us what it was like. we will speak to him in the next half hour. mps have voted overwhelmingly to back a report which found that borisjohnson deliberately lied to parliament about lockdown parties in downing street. 35a mps voted in favour of the privileges committee's findings, seven voted against, and 225 either abstained or didn't attend. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. it is striking, the number who did not turn up or decided to abstain. what does it tell us? it is significant because it reminds us there are a considerable number of conservative mps who wanted to avoid this altogether and did not want to pass a verdict on borisjohnson,
7:08 am
some of them may be nervous about how the local party would feel. some of them not quite wanting to stick their head above the parapet. the prime minister was one of them and would not tell us yesterday what his views on the report were and how he would vote and in the end he did not turn up. i am told he had a long—standing speaking engagement he was at instead. it was significant so many conservatives, 118, including eight cabinet ministers, did say we agree with this and we think the committee was right, boris johnson misled parliament and they felt the need to say so. striking watching the debate that prominent tories such as theresa may, penny mordaunt, leader of the commons, they were clear of what they thought about this. it means borisjohnson�*s political career is in ruins. parliament delivered him a pretty
7:09 am
unprecedented rebuke for a former prime minister. it means he will not have a pass for parliament and it means if he were still an mp he would have faced suspension. he resigned before the report came out. it means that it is very unlikely borisjohnson will be able to stage a political comeback in parliament. i suspect we will still hear a lot from him but not returning to politics. the former chancellor george osborne will give evidence to the covid—19 inquiry today. he was the chancellor under david cameron, who gave evidence yesterday, and denied that his government's austerity policies damaged the uk's ability to cope with the virus. the former prime minister claimed that he needed to shore up the economy to protect public services like the nhs. the average uk housing tenant now spends more than 28% of their pre—tax income on rent. that's according to figures released by the property website zoopla.
7:10 am
it means people are spending more of their wages on rent than at any time in the last ten years. final preparations are under way ahead of this year's royal ascot, with protests by animal rights protesters expected. extra security measures are in place following disruption at other horse racing events this year, including the grand national and the epsom derby. organisers say they will balance the legal obligation to facilitate peaceful protest with the rights of the local community and spectators. graeme souness has been meeting mps at the house of commons, just one day after taking part in a gruelling cross—channel swim. the former liverpool and scotland footballer was continuing his fight against a rare and debilitating skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa. john maguire was in westminster with graeme and the team. go, go, go. they had just swum through storms, fishing lanes and jellyfish. so coming to the house of commons
7:11 am
wasn't going to faze them. thank you. we have done our wee bit, and it is a wee bit, but these guys could make us reach the moon if theyjoin the fight, and we have to get as many people as possible to join the fight. you know, we've popped our head up above the trenches, they can carry the fight forward. we need to get government onside with us. simon weston, badly burned during the falklands war, understands how devastating living with severely damaged skin can be. he believes the awareness raised by the team is already making a difference. as graeme has said and we've been saying for years, it's the worst disease that nobody�*s ever heard of. but it's something now that a lot more people know about, a lot more people have bought into so that people can get the right type of information, so that they can do something if they wish to help us. nice to meet you, isla. this was a chance for families,
7:12 am
and people like isla who have permanent pain, to give mps an insight into their lives. i wanted to come along to give my support. i think, actually, what is a cross—party issue of wanting to make sure that families who are affected by rare diseases like eb get the support they need, but, also, that those conditions are getting a fair share of the budget, too. with high—profile events such as the swim, the money raised will change and, one day, hopefully, save lives. but for charities such as debra and cure eb, that increased awareness is vital because it lets them know that they're not fighting this horrific disease alone. john maguire, bbc news, westminster. incredible work by graeme souness and all the team. i have been sneezing a lot.
7:13 am
it is the hay fever and we can find out why. pollen levels have been the high or very high. when the sun comes out, it comes back up again so keep your handkerchief close by. good morning. these are the levels we are talking about. very high or high more or less across the board. we also have heavy rain. it has been pushing in from the south—west in the early hours and drifting further east. we are looking at large rainfall totals in a short amount of time. it will drift northwards. in scotland, we are looking at a mostly dry start with sunshine. 17 by nine o'clock in aberdeen and the same in northern ireland and northern england. but rain is continuing to push northwards. behind it, it will brighten up and we will see sunshine
7:14 am
and then the showers developed. you can see the track the rain is taking towards the north—east with some large hail in some of the thundery downpours and showers behind. in between, some sunshine. gusty wind around the showers. top temperatures 16-2a, around the showers. top temperatures 16—2a, potentially 25 in the south—east. overnight, we say goodbye to many showers. by the end of the night, some showers in the west. clear skies, fog performing. overnight temperature between 10—1a, so feeling quite humid. tomorrow, any fog formed overnight will readily disperse. we are then looking at showers coming in across northern ireland, scotland and northern england. some of those could be thundery. further south, dry, a lot of sunshine. at times,
7:15 am
some high cloud. in the afternoon, we could see showers developing in devon and cornwall and also sea breeze is developing here. temperatures 15—2a, 25. if anything, it will turn more humid as we head towards the latter part of the week and temperatures will go back up. studio: we knew exactly what you meant. hot and studio: we knew exactly what you meant. hotand humid studio: we knew exactly what you meant. hot and humid altogether. three women in the uk have been arrested for their part in a global monkey torture ring which was uncovered by a bbc investigation. it isa it is a shocking story. the community began on youtube before moving into private groups on the messaging service telegram, where westerners were paying for videos of baby monkeys in indonesia to be abused and killed. rebecca henschke went undercover to find out more.
7:16 am
we are mindful of what we show at this time. her film contains descriptions of torture which you may find upsetting. these are just some of the thousands of videos we found on youtube of baby monkeys being abused. at the heart of this shocking torture ring was mini. the people who wanted to do something to mini were part of a global online community. they found each other on youtube and then formed private groups on the messaging app telegram. here, they brainstormed and crowdfunded videos of baby monkeys being tortured. we spent months undercover, trying to identify the people involved, and track down one of the ringleaders in the us. i'm the man. you want to see monkeys get messed up, i can bring it to you,
7:17 am
but everything comes at a price. you ran one of the biggest groups in this community. correct. i'm not proud of that. did you think about the monkeys, the pain? not at that point. all i thought about at that point was money. he's one of 25 people the us authorities are investigating. you want to see the mini? yeah. posing as a potential buyer, we hunted down mini's torturer in indonesia. when you hit them, do you... do you like? we tipped off the indonesian police, who moved in to arrest him. mini, and another monkey we're calling milo, were rescued. in the uk, wejoined a police raid to arrest one of the women accused of being involved in this community. i think she's going to have a little
7:18 am
bit of a shock this morning when she gets a knock on the door, to be fair. why baby monkeys? she was one of three women arrested under the obscene publications act. what was going through your mind? so these will go into a locker. activists want to strengthen the law to force social media companies to remove animal abuse. the online safety bill does not include animal torture as a specific area of concern, and i think anyone would be astonished that it's not included. there are still many active monkey—torture groups on social media. youtube turned down an interview request, but said there is no place for animal abuse on their platform. telegram also declined to talk to us, but said it's committed to protecting user privacy. now in a sanctuary in indonesia,
7:19 am
mini has a good chance of being released back into the wild. you're beautiful. sorry for all you've been through. rebecca henschke, bbc news. bbc world service asia editor rebecca henschkejoins us, alongside sarah kite, co—founder of action for primates, who you saw in rebecca's piece. i could feel your disbelief as you were talking about it in the film that this is happening. absolutely. it is 'ust that this is happening. absolutely. it is just astounding _ that this is happening. absolutely. it isjust astounding to _ that this is happening. absolutely. it isjust astounding to think- that this is happening. absolutely. it isjust astounding to think there | it is just astounding to think there are people here in the uk as well as the us who are prepared to pay for baby monkeys to be tortured and killed on camera and notjust pay, but to put in requests and suggestions to say exactly what type of torture they want the monkey subjected to. it is astonishing and i think anybody watching the footage

and to stop torture videos being broadcast on their platforms. the videos are freely available. children, vulnerable adults can access them. and it is really important that animal cruelty content is included within the scope of the online safety bill. it is currently going through the house of lords. its objective is to prevent users from accessing harmful content. i think anyone watching this footage would think that has to be considered to be harmful content. children and other vulnerable groups have access to it because they can go on companies like facebook and see these videos. it is go on companies like facebook and see these videos.— see these videos. it is horrifying. it is see these videos. it is horrifying. it is horrifying — see these videos. it is horrifying. it is horrifying enough _ see these videos. it is horrifying. it is horrifying enough it - see these videos. it is horrifying. it is horrifying enough it is - it is horrifying enough it is happening. perhaps even more that it is openly out there. it is not hidden on the dark web, it is on platforms people use every day. some

7:25 am
her condition. the safest bet. then sending us! she's been looking into why some alcoholic drinks are getting weaker as a result of inflation. morning nina. good morning. it is a brewery with a bar. can you imagine. when you order your pint at the bar, you might think about the tax you pay as a consumer when you buy alcohol but you might not think about the tax the brewery is paying. the rules are changing. look at these fermenting vessels. 10,000 pints per unit goes in. lagerand pale ale vessels. 10,000 pints per unit goes in. lager and pale ale in each of them. 10,000 pints. that is a good night in. what is happening with the tax bracket is the amount, the volume of alcohol per unit, you will pay more on per unit of tax. what
7:26 am
some breweries are doing is reducing the amount of alcohol inside drinks in order to save money for them. brewers say you will not be able to taste it. the proof will be in the pudding for consumers, but it is the issue, products adapted in orderfor the producer to save money because inflation is stubbornly high. at eight o'clock we will get the latest numbers on how grocery prices are looking and whether the inflation remains high. for now, the news where you are. a very good morning. welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a man has been arrested after three women were sexually assaulted in east london. the victims were attacked near shoreditch park in hackney on thursday, friday and sunday. the met is urging any women who may have been approached by a man in the area to get in touch.
7:27 am
an investigation into the murder of a teenager in central london is continuing this morning. police were called to paddington green shortly after lunchtime yesterday. when they arrived they found a boy, thought to be 17, suffering from stab wounds. despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene. no arrests have been made. residents in north—west london recently found themselves being targetted by a crow. the bird, who was believed to be protecting its young, was dive—bombing people with long hair, causing panic. many locals in gospel oak say they found the experience pretty scary. suddenly, there was a thump on my back, a really hard thump and i thought, what's that? and i was it was a crow! it's attacked me. they were pecking at my head and two crows were pecking at my dog's back. it happened i don't know, five times, maybe. - and he kind of really become delusional. i now, many of you will only be
7:28 am
getting up around now. but if you need an excuse for a nap later today, then this is the story for you. researchers say having a snooze during the day is good for your brain. experts from university college london have been looking into this and say poor sleep causes inflammation and shrinkage of the brain. however, they also recommend keeping any naps to less than half an hour. let's take a look at the tubes to see how things are running this morning. the northern line is part suspended. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. it's another warm and humid start this morning. some heavy rain but to follow on, some sunny spells a little later. the met office has a yellow weather warning for the heavy rain, it could just be torrential for a time to this morning ahead
7:29 am
of it clearing northwards. rumbles of thunder, lightning, also some hail. to follow this afternoon, though, sunny spells which in turn could spark off one or two sharp showers again and you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder and temperatures today getting up to 2a celsius. overnight tonight, the shower risk fades so largely dry, clear, could you see a little bit of mistiness by dawn tomorrow morning. it's going to be another warm night, the minimum temperature around 13 or 1a celsius. a bright start tomorrow, certainly fewer showers than today but we really can't rule them out. we could still get one or two. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 25 celsius. as we head through the rest of the week, a ridge of high pressure builds for thursday and friday, so certainly becoming a bit drier and into the weekend, temperatures getting a little warmer. by the end of the weekend, we mightjust see 30 celsius, not only daytime temperatures warmer but night—time temperatures uncomfortable too. that's it from me, more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's back to sally and john.
7:30 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. a search operation is under way in the waters of the atlantic for a submarine with five people on board that went missing on a trip to explore the wreck of the titanic. ships and planes from the united states and canada are involved. us coastguard admiraljohn mauger is leading the search. the location of the search is approximately 900 miles east of cape cod in a water depth of roughly 13,000 feet. it is a remote area and it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area. but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the the people on board. we understand from the operator of the vessel that the vessel
7:31 am
was designed with a 96 hour sustainment capability if there was an emergency on board. and so we're using that time, making the best use of every moment of that time. let's speak to mike reiss, who did the same trip last yearand tim maltin, an expert on the titanic. good an expert on the titanic. morning to you both. mik first good morning to you both. mike, first of all, can you describe to us the trip that you took and the circumstances, what it is like to go on this trip?— on this trip? yes, first you leave newfoundland _ on this trip? yes, first you leave newfoundland and _ on this trip? yes, first you leave newfoundland and you - on this trip? yes, first you leave newfoundland and you take i on this trip? yes, first you leave l newfoundland and you take about on this trip? yes, first you leave i newfoundland and you take about a 2.5 day trip on a working vessel. just to get over the spot where the titanic sank. and the vessel is carrying the submarine. the
7:32 am
submarine, you have to understand, you have to just picture a van, suv with the seeds taken out, it is about that size. it seats five passengers comfortably. —— seats. but you are just sitting on the floor. it is actually very relaxed, it is very comfortable and i actually fell asleep going down to the titanic. it is a 2.5 hour journey down and you are just dropping. it couldn't be lower tech, you just drop down for two and a half hours and when you get to the bottom of this shift is propelled by very tiny motors that look like a fan he would have on your desk. it is steered literally by an xbox, a joystick from a game system. again,
7:33 am
you are very taken with how simple it is and in my case we got down and we werejust 500 it is and in my case we got down and we were just 500 metres from the titanic and it is pitch dark down there, the radar, the compass stopped working and we spent most of our time down therejust stopped working and we spent most of our time down there just flailing around, trying to find the biggest thing in the ocean. and we couldn't see it, just to raise the tension, as if we needed that, hurricane was coming in over the ocean. we didn't have a lot of time to explore. there was just 20 minutes left on the voyage, we found the titanic. it was enough for a photo opportunity. we got there, i got to take pictures of the anchor, the bow of the ship, the
7:34 am
railing and that kind of thing. i'm going up is as simple as going down. theyjust have metal blades on the bottom of the sub and they pull a lever and it releases the weight and it takes two and a half hours to go to the surface. i would describe the entire voyage as you drop like a stone and then at the end you pop up like a cork. ~ ., . �* stone and then at the end you pop up like a cork. ~ ~' ., �* ., , like a cork. mike, there aren't many --eole on like a cork. mike, there aren't many people on earth _ like a cork. mike, there aren't many people on earth who _ like a cork. mike, there aren't many people on earth who have _ like a cork. mike, there aren't many people on earth who have done i like a cork. mike, there aren't many people on earth who have done it, | people on earth who have done it, you understand what it is like to be down there in a submersible. when you hearfive people are missing at this urgent search and rescue operation is under way, what are you thinking? operation is under way, what are you thinkin: ? ., ~' ., operation is under way, what are you thinkin: ? ., ~ ., ., ., thinking? you know, i am not optimistic- — thinking? you know, i am not optimistic. just _ thinking? you know, i am not optimistic. just because i i thinking? you know, i am not. optimistic. just because i know thinking? you know, i am not- optimistic. just because i know the logistics of it. really, how vast
7:35 am
the ocean is and how very tiny this craft is. you know, it is a beautifully designed craft. i cannot disparage it, but it is meant to go down further than any other vessels can so the idea, if it is down at the bottom, i don't know how anyone is going to be able to access it, much less bring it back up. there is a hope it is at or near the surface. the phrase we keep hearing is, "we have lost communication". i did three separate dives, i did one dive to the titanic and two more off the coast of new york and every time they lost communication. this is not to say it is a shoddy ship, but this is all new technology and they are

7:39 am
this could be the end. you know, nobody who is in this situation was caught off—guard. it is very bad things go this way, but you all know what you are getting into. it is exploration, it is not a vacation, it is not thrill—seeking. it's not like skydiving or something. these are people, these are explorers and travellers who want to see something. travellers who want to see something-— travellers who want to see somethina. ~ ~' ., ., ,. ., _ something. mike, i am fascinated by the fact he spent _ something. mike, i am fascinated by the fact he spent all— something. mike, i am fascinated by the fact he spent all this _ something. mike, i am fascinated by the fact he spent all this money, i the fact he spent all this money, something like a quarter of $1 million to go down there, you were aware of the risk and yet you had a sleep on your way down in the submersible, you are clearly very relaxed about it? this submersible, you are clearly very relaxed about it?— submersible, you are clearly very relaxed about it? this was not my idea. m relaxed about it? this was not my idea- my wife _ relaxed about it? this was not my idea. my wife loves _ relaxed about it? this was not my idea. my wife loves to _ relaxed about it? this was not my idea. my wife loves to travel i relaxed about it? this was not my idea. my wife loves to travel and l relaxed about it? this was not my idea. my wife loves to travel and i love my wife, so if i want to spend

7:41 am
going to be a thrilling day at edgbaston? yes, we have to see this rain to clear for that to happen. gloomy skies in birmingham, the covers are still on but it has been a hotline to carol this morning, he tells me that this rain is set to clear and we should have some sunshine this afternoon with the chance of an odd shower and that means we should see a conclusion to what has been an enthralling first test in this ashes series. it has been a yo—yo of momentum. yesterday as england felt like they got their nosesin as england felt like they got their noses in front, australia were hit back to break this partnership as england were trying to forge. and when england had sent australia 281 for victory, australia looked to be on their way to knock the total. but then the breakthrough from stuart broad with the two late wickets to swing the momentum back in england's faiva. the state of play, when it does get under way on this final day, england need seven more wickets
7:42 am
to wrap up victory in this first test, whilst australia need just 17a more runs. it is set up beautifully as patrick geary can tell us. running into bowl with the crowd behind me is something i remember together. this team are flipping the conventions of test cricket one shot at the time. joe root started brilliantly. eventually charged too far. stumped off nathan line, big wickets, big moments. the aussies kept chipping away when ben stokes went in the afternoon, they look to be on top. ollie robinson has been irritating the australians with charts, now part. together with the tail he took the lead to 280 before
7:43 am
they were bowled out at t. so to the final innings, australia's innings and they began well. 61 for no wicket when robinson had his say it again. david warner gone and edgbaston. that was marnus labuschagne, best in the world. steve mick smith is number two. a game is set up for its final act. what an end to the day for england but australia did make 107 runs and now a lot depends on the weather on the final day. how much flavour get and in what conditions will the play be? the scene is set for an amazing finish. patrick geary, bbc at edgbaston. as we head into the fifth and final day, this place will be sell—out again. 25,000 capacity crowd to see
7:44 am
what plays out later today. it should be a memorable one. as it was, at old trafford last night for the england superstar, bukayo saka. they thumped north macedonia 7—0 at old trafford. the arsenal forward scored his first international hat trick, including this stunner as gareth southgate's men made it four wins from four in group c. marcus rashford, harry kane and kalvin phillips were also on the scoresheet on a very comfortable night. it was a bad night for wales, who were beaten in turkey. they had joe morrell sent offjust before half—time before this superb effort from arda guler wrapped a 2—0 victory. welsh hopes of reaching euro 202a taking another huge blow. northern ireland were beaten 1—0 at home by kazakhstan — abat aimbetov broke through the defence to put the visitors ahead with just two minutes of normal time remaining. they have three points

from theirfour games in group h. scotland have never won four in a row at the start of a campaign but can do so if they beat georgia tonight. steve clarke's side maintained their 100 per cent start to euro 202a qualifying with a 2—1 away win against norway on saturday. it isa it is a busy summer of sport, we see andy murray queens, as he tries to boost his ranking is to avoid some of the bigger names when wimbledon gets under way soon. it has been a brilliant couple of weeks for andy murray, two back—to—back titles on the grass, so looking in good shape heading into queens today and wimbledon. it was a good time to catch up with him and i spoke to him about his summer hopes. of course, spoke about wimbledon, ten years now
7:46 am
since he won that historic first wimbledon title back in 2013. we spoke about novak vitch and why his young children are yet to be bowled over by dad's talents on the tennis court. andy, huge congratulations. back—to—back titles at 36. not bad for a dad of four with a metal hip? yeah, yeah. no, it's been been a good start to the grass season. yeah, you know, playing well. and a father's day surprise for you from kim, who brought the children to see you. oh, my god. oh, i didn't know they were here. yeah, they've actually never all been to watch before, so i think they snuck in around the middle of the second set when things were going my way. and, yeah, it was great, brilliant that they were able to come. i had no idea. yeah, the kids really haven't been around the tennis at all.
7:47 am
they're not massively, not massively into it. because one of the reasons you said you wanted to carry on playing, it would be lovely for your children to be able to see you winning. now that they are, what do they make of their old man, their dad doing what he does now and winning? do they enjoy watching you? no, and that's i guess, yeah, when i had the children, when i came back to start playing again after the injuries, like i thought that it would, be nice for them to be able to come along and watch when they get to an age where they understand what it is that i do a little bit, but i don't think they could care less to be honest, unfortunately. so how does that feel? and that must be a dagger in the heart, right? i mean, come on. i know. yeah, it's tough, but. yeah, i mean, they're obviously, yeah, they're into other stuff and yeah, i guess it's one of those things like as you when you become
7:48 am
a parent, you realise there is more important things than just, you know, your tennis. and i think individual athletes in some ways you have to be pretty selfish but and you know, you're all the time thinking about yourself and that was something that after i had the kids like changed quite a lot, but i was still hoping that they would, they might still like to come along and watch me from time to time. is this the best you've felt since you had your hip operation back in 2019? yeah, probably. i would say i don'tjust mean like today, but the last kind of nine months or so, like physically i've been really good. now andy, there's a special anniversary coming up. the waiting is over. what are your recollections of that day? i remember it being unbelievably stressful. like before the match i remember having breakfast in the morning at home.
7:49 am
and it was really hot day that day and i just was finding it quite hard to eat. like i was just very, very nervous and felt like all of my team were feeling that pressure too. and yeah, i mean, obviously the match itself obviously went my way. it was an incredible final game, which is the only part of the match that i've watched back since then. and yeah, ijust remember just huge, huge relief. so you've got two grass court titles in a row. you've got the lta queens championship to come. you've said on grass you could beat any top ten player you think at the moment. so going into wimbledon, what can we expect, andy? i do feel like, you know, with the right draw, you know, and hopefully if i can get myself seeded, then there's no reason why i can't have a deep run there. and let's say you do win it. surely the kids would be there to see that one and they would love that, wouldn't they? they'd appreciate a wimbledon win, surely? i would hope so.
7:50 am
but wimbledon have got their rules and your kids aren't allowed to come in and watch the matches there. rules, rules, come on! i'm hoping maybe maybe for that they would make an exception. but i don't know if i would want my three year—old boy, when he was watching here today my wife was saying the first 50 minutes he was sitting there just every time i hit a ball into the net, he was just going, "rubbish, rubbish." i'm not sure how well that would go down at wimbledon. so, yeah. well, good luck, kim, with that one. and good luck to you, too, andy. thank you. we'll look forward to watching you. appreciate it. thank you. surely they would let his kids in if he was to go all the way. it wouldn't be a british summit without andy murray making the headlines somewhere. another tennis legend, martina navratilova has revealed she is cancer free. you martina navratilova has revealed she is cancerfree. you might remember the turn of the year she revealed she was fighting the disease, but she was fighting the disease, but she has revealed on social media this morning that she is now cancer

an investigation into the murder of a teenager in central london is continuing this morning. police were called to paddington green shortly after lunchtime yesterday. when they arrived they found a boy — thought to be 17 — suffering from stab wounds. despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene. no arrests have been made. now, if you need an excuse for a nap then this is the story for you. researchers from university college london have found that having a short nap during the day can help stop inflammation and shrinkage of the brain. however, they also recommend keeping any naps to less than half an hour. let's see how the tube is running. there are minor delays on the dlr and the northern line is suspended between camden town and high barnet and mill hill. your weather. it's a wet start for most, but the sun will come out this afternoon to leave a nice day with some showers. top temperature 24c.

is under way after a tourist submarine went missing during a dive to the wreck of the titanic — more details are emerging of the passengers on board. it is an extremely remote location that the us coast guard says means it is challenging. they have also said they anticipate they believe the vessel may have somewhere between 70—96 hours of oxygen left. mps overwhelmingly back the report that said former prime minister borisjohnson deliberately misled the commons, over lockdown parties in downing street. good morning from edgbaston where we are set for a nail—biting final day in the ashes test. england need seven wickets for victory over

8:02 am
the us coast guard is doing everything it can to find a tourist submarine which went missing during an expedition to explore the wreck of the titanic. the five people on board include the british billionaire hamish harding, and a uk—based father and son. shahzada and suleman dawood. the sub has enough oxygen for around four days — and has been missing in the atlantic since sunday, as nick johnson reports. small with barely enough room to sit. this is the titan submersible — tasked with diving to depths few other vessels can reach, now missing in the middle of the north atlantic. it's got one button and that's it. the dive had been organised by the tour firm oceangate. its boss speaking to the bbc last year and describing how titan is steered. it's basically a sony playstation—style controller. if you want to go forward, you press forward. if you want to go back, you press back.
8:03 am
you want to turn to the left — it's like that. you want to turn to the right, you turn to the right. the polar prince, the ship carrying the sub, left stjohn�*s in newfoundland, arriving near the wreck site on sunday. the sub then began its descent to the sea bed, a journey thought to take around four hours. but after one hour and 45 minutes, contact was lost. the sub is around 7m long and can carry up to five people. there is said to be enough oxygen forfour days. the us coast guard in boston says it's coordinating the operation with help from other us and canadian agencies. it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area, but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board. this is what it's all about. catching a glimpse of the world's most famous shipwreck.
8:04 am
images circulated to tv screens around the world for decades, nearly £200,000 for an expedition with oceangate to see it with your own eyes. the wreck lies more than 300 miles from the nearest coastline and two and a half miles below the sea's surface. as you go down into the ocean, light only penetrates for a couple hundred metres and, at that point, it's almost pitch black. and after you get one kilometre down, there's absolutely no light any more. which means that if it's at great depth, then they're going to be operating in complete darkness. in a post on social media, the family of british billionaire and explorer hamish harding has confirmed he's on board. posting on facebook over the weekend, mr harding described feeling proud that he would be on board the expedition and referred to the calibre of the other explorers taking part. all stations are reporting the dive as a go.
8:05 am
the family of a pakistani businessman and his son who live in the uk have confirmed they are part of the crew and in this statement say... in a statement, oceangate said it's exploring all options to bring everyone back safely and that its entire focus is on the crew members and theirfamilies. nickjohnson, bbc news. jessica parker is in boston on the north east coast of the united states and she's sent us this update. this is a major search operation. involving people from canada and the us. multiple aircraft have been sent
8:06 am
to the area. they are scanning the ocean to look for any sign of potentially the vessel re—emerging after it began the dive on sunday morning. sonar buoys have been dropped onto the surface of the ocean and they are looking to detect activity beneath the surface of the water. commercial vessels are being called in to help carry out research. the search is happening 900 miles from the north—east coast of america. it is an extremely remote location which the us coast says it means it is challenging. they said they anticipate, they believe, the vessel may have between 70-96 believe, the vessel may have between 70—96 hours left of emergency oxygen. 70-96 hours left of emergency ox uen. ~ ., ., , ., ., oxygen. we heard on the programme from a gentleman _ oxygen. we heard on the programme from a gentleman who _ oxygen. we heard on the programme from a gentleman who has _ oxygen. we heard on the programme from a gentleman who has done - oxygen. we heard on the programme from a gentleman who has done that| from a gentleman who has done that journey and he was describing the 2.5 hours it takes to take to get to titanic. the sense of isolation when

you are down there. and no guarantee when you get there they find titanic. risky in a lot of ways. fingers crossed in that search. mps have voted overwhelmingly to back a report which found that borisjohnson deliberately lied to parliament about lockdown parties in downing street. 354 mps voted in favour of the privileges committee's findings, seven voted against, and 225 either abstained or didn't attend. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. the numbers are interesting. good morning, they are. it was overwhelming, the number of mps backing the report was considerable. those who voted against tiny, just seven. i think there were probably more conservatives, borisjohnson allies who were not happy but to be honest not that many, or not enough
8:08 am
to turn it into a major rebellion. the fact that so many did not take part in the vote is interesting. there is still pressure on the prime minister rishi sunak to say why he did not take part. i have been talking to number 10. they say he had a prearranged engagement where he was due to speak but opposition parties such as the lib dems accused him of being cowardly and of copping out of giving his view on boris johnson and the committee report. because boris johnson johnson and the committee report. because borisjohnson resigned as the mp, the consequences are not that much in practical terms. he will not get the pass former mps are entitled to but he cannot be banned from the commons because he has already left. i think it is almost certainly the end of his parliamentary career. some people have flirted with the idea of a comeback. the fact so many mps

backed the report makes that pretty hard to see. not quite impossible but pretty hard. thank you. to the covid—i9 inquiry today. he was the chancellor under david cameron, who gave evidence yesterday — and denied that his government's austerity policies damaged the uk's ability to cope with the virus. the former prime minister claimed that he needed to shore up the economy to protect public services like the nhs. more than six million people with disabilities will start to receive a £150 cost—of—living payment from today. the one—off payments — which will be issued over the next fortnight — are part of a wider package of support worth up to £1,350 to the most vulnerable households. the average uk housing tenant now spends more than 28% of their pre—tax income on rent. that's according to figures released by the property website zoopla. it means people are spending more of their wages on rent than at any time in the last 10 years.

and to prove graeme souness never stops. he has been meeting mps at the house of commons just one day after taking part in a gruelling cross—channel swim. the former liverpool and scotland footballer was continuing his fight to raise awareness of a rare and debilitating skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa. the team swim — which took place over the weekend — was inspired by 14—year—old isla, who has eb. what an amazing effort. if you are watching this morning, and you need some shuteye. i hope he is asleep. if you need sleep, there is good news. this has made me happy. i have told you naps are the way forward. regular napping during the day could help to preserve your brain health.

researchers at university college london found that nappers' brains were 15 cubic centimetres larger than those who don't indulge in a daytime snooze, that is a win. delaying ageing by three to six years. and it makes your brain bigger. do you mind if i...? absolutely. i am a big fan. someone who does not map is here. it explains so much about looking younger. you look amazing. your brain is massive, anyway. i am not sure about that. i can tell you about the weather. we have had heavy rain this morning from the south—west. it is accompanied by thunder and lightning and it will push northwards and eastwards through the rest of the date. you can see the track it has taken, coming up from the south—west, moving across wales into the
8:12 am
midlands. john has been talking about it and edgbaston all morning. through the day it will continue to drift northwards and eastwards. ahead of it, a bright start in scotland. but you can see the showers developing. through the afternoon, some showers will be heavy and thundery. gusty wind in the east with large hail. not all of us will catch a shower. northern ireland, scotland, showers could be heavy and thundery. some sunshine in between. temperatures fresher in the north. to about 25 as we sweep down towards the south—east. as we head through the evening and overnight, eventually, most showers will fade. we will keep some in the west. under clear skies, there could be some fog forming. and a humid night. temperatures ii—ill. tomorrow, any
8:13 am
fog that has formed will quickly disburse and then we will have a lot of sunshine. we still have showers in the west and if anything, they will develop more widely across northern ireland, northern england and scotland and in between some sunshine, but some showers will be thundery. in england and wales, dry weather with a few showers, especially in devon and cornwall and some of those could be thundery. and along the coast. sea breeze is developing but tomorrow, it will feel humid. as temperatures rise, that process will continue. even more humid as the week goes on. i am not sure about that. nina's at a brewery this morning to tell us why some alcoholic drinks are getting weaker. she has also just have the latest figures about food inflation. how we

cost you £58. a big increase. that is something you will be aware of every time you go to the supermarket. the staples cost more. it is a slight reduction in the inflation of groceries but it is massive. when you think about the cost that goes into beer, the reason we are here, you have malt, barley, labour costs and energy costs. this is why we are seeing breweries reduce the amount of alcohol in drinks in order to save tax. fosters. they have reduced the amount of alcohol in their drink by 0.3%. old amount of alcohol in their drink by 0.3%. 0ld speckled hen, bishop's finger, spitfire, reduce theirs by not .2%. what savings do they make? it is estimated 3p per pint. when you think about the fact we drink in the uk around 7.5 billion pipes a
8:16 am
year, it means they are chipping away at overheads by making the saving —— pints per year. colin, for once you said this is a policy where everyone is a winner.— once you said this is a policy where everyone is a winner. why? it is not often. producers _ everyone is a winner. why? it is not often. producers of _ everyone is a winner. why? it is not often. producers of alcohol- everyone is a winner. why? it is not often. producers of alcohol and - often. producers of alcohol and people in public health are on the same side of the argument but reducing the strength lowers alcohol and reduces the alcohol people are drinking but also reduces costs. it is a win — win. drinking but also reduces costs. it is a win - win-— drinking but also reduces costs. it is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking _ is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking i _ is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking i am _ is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking i am not _ is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking i am not winning, . is a win - win. you say that, people will be thinking i am not winning, i | will be thinking i am not winning, i like my beer to taste stronger. but would you know that when drinking? many people will not. this is not new. it is something we have seen gradually over the past decade. major brewers reducing the strength of beers and people do not seem to have complained, they seem happy. stella used to be 5% and they cut it

8:21 am
i didn't know them. you know, it may be a bit strange to her coming into a new feel. don't know what she is going to meet and see, but i think she enjoyed this life. norman started life in the uk as a builder. i came here in 1955. my age now is 102 years, six months plus. after the second world war, thousands of caribbeans were invited to help rebuild britain. known to some as the mother country. when we were in school, we have learned so many things about our mother country, that the streets are paved with gold. when i came here it was quite a lot different. it was surprising because
8:22 am
what we were told is not what we come and find. when we came, mother didn't treat us as how they should treat us. despite early hardships, norman supported his local community. when i received my mbe from prince charles, now king charles, he asked me, "what work did you do to obtain this reward?" so i said to him, "running a club." "and how long did you run that club?" "it was 33 years, and also community works." and he said, "that's very good." success runs in the family, as this boney m hit track is being celebrated all over again by millions of new fans who took up this dance

8:29 am
around 13 or 14 celsius. a bright start tomorrow, certainly fewer showers than today but we really can't rule them out. we could still get one or two. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 25 celsius. as we head through the rest of the week, a ridge of high pressure builds for thursday and friday, so certainly becoming a bit drier and into the weekend, temperatures getting a little warmer. by the end of the weekend, we mightjust see 30 celsius, not only daytime temperatures warmer but night—time temperatures uncomfortable too. that's it from me — more on the bbc news app and over on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.

the advantage of being away from the rain. look at the view, arguably one of the best views in the entire ground. you can see the covers on the moment with the still falling here after what was such an entertaining fourth day yesterday and you just wonder, it is set up for a real nailbiter again today, who wins this one is anyone's gas. let's remind ourselves how things played out. on a memorable fourth day, joe root and harry brook both hit 46 runs as england eventually were all out for 273, a lead of 280. the pendulum looked to be swinging to the aussies until stuart broad struck late to claim the priceless wickets of marnus labuschagne and steve smith here, and leave the first test tantalisingly balanced with the tourists 107 for 3. for us as a team to pick up those
8:38 am
three batters, warner, mana sam smith, we are delighted. the aussies played well, hit some boundaries but three huge batters to have back in the pavilion. you know, turn out tomorrow, not sure what we are expecting, don't think we are getting as blue sky tomorrow so if we get a bit of clout, that will give the bowlers smile and try and come back and hunt seven wickets for an ashes win. australia need 174 runs. when the covers come off and the weather improves, then we should be set up for a brilliant day. alison mitchell, part of the test match team is here. the stage was set yesterday when joe root came team is here. the stage was set yesterday whenjoe root came out team is here. the stage was set yesterday when joe root came out and what was that shot he played on the opening goal of the fourth day, what are we describing this one, was it a kind of ramp shot, reverse sweep, what was it we saw? that kind of ramp shot, reverse sweep, what was it we saw?— what was it we saw? that was the reverse round _ what was it we saw? that was the reverse round ten. _ what was it we saw? that was the reverse round ten. joe _ what was it we saw? that was the reverse round ten. joe root - what was it we saw? that was the reverse round ten. joe root was l reverse round ten. joe root was sitting in the dressing room next to

radio1 into his home for a chat about bringing down the curtain on his incredible career. with a career spanning five decades and a back catalogue featuring some of pop music's greatest records, elton john is finally making his debut on glastonbury�*s pyramid stage. but before his headline performance on the sunday, i sat down with him at his home amongst his very impressive record collection to pick the artist that he's most excited to see at this year's festival. thank you, clara. so lovely to see you in my record room. yeah, we are in your actual record room, and it would be remiss of me to not talk about everything that is surrounding us. i kind of gave myself crick neck earlier because i was just staring at everything. how do you go about making sure you keep the things that truly matter to you when it comes to this room? well, you know what? i sold all my vinyl many years ago to a collector and st louis because i didn't have anywhere to put it.
8:43 am
and then since its resurgence, thankfully, i had to collect it, most of it all again and with some extra additions. and the thing now is because of the resurgence, it's easier to get a record on vinyl than it is to on a cd because most people don't have cds anymore. and i have both. but it's been, it's been fantastic. i have a person at rough trade in in kensington called chris summers that sends me the vinyls coming out every week and i tick it off and then i go to an america and one called pause and play and i, you know, and i write them down and then when i get them, i throw them. it's such a romantic way of collecting music. well, that's it, isn't it? because it's such a lovely thing and it's a convenient thing to be able to stream and whatnot. but there is something, as you say, very romantic about, you know, going to your collection, pulling out what you want. there's an intention there, isn't there? well, i get so excited when i get something on vinyl. we were just talking before we started the interview about the last three solo albums, came out about two weeks ago on vinyl, and i'm so thrilled
8:44 am
i wasjumping up and down because i'm a huge salt and cleo soulfan. so those it makes it exciting. it was like when i used to collect records in the seventies at music land in bourke street and seeing the record in the store and you get so excited. i feel the same way now. it's just as exciting. this is why i'm delighted to be here. this is why you are playing glastonbury this year, because it's that passion that has kept you doing what you do. i think every time i've had the joy of meeting you, i always walk away feeling really buoyant because you're, yeah, you're just your passion for music as well as other people's music. more importantly. well, when we ever meet, we just all we talk about his new music, which is which i love. i mean, i'm not i'm not really interested in the old stuff. i know that. but new there's so much good stuff around. you know, there is, you know, you play it. glastonbury. so ahead of your very first glastonbury show, your last ever uk show, i'm going to say for now, i hope you don't leave us. thank you so much for having us. oh, it's so great. i'm so looking forward to seeing you at glastonbury
8:45 am
and having the best time. never played it, but it's come around at the best time in my career to play it and we're going to have guests. well, i can't tell you, but it's a different show to what people have been seeing on the farewell yellow brick road tour. which is good. i didn't want to do the same thing for glastonbury. i've never been to glastonbury. i've played a couple of festivals in britain and a couple in america. i've not really played that many festivals. i've watched glastonbury on the tv and the thing that i love about glastonbury is not the headliners, per se. it's the people in the smaller stages that they give the chance to shine to. so if i wasn't glastonbury, i would probably be one of the smaller tents looking at one of the newer acts playing, because that's what i want to see. but i've never been asked to play before, so it's come at a time when it couldn't be more perfect ending to play in britain and then to play at glastonbury. and they've all been so kind at the glastonbury and i'm really looking forward to it. and i've got the setlist down,
8:46 am
i've got the rehearsal dates booked for the guest artists, so we just have to hope the weather would still be nice. how would you go about selecting, giving the people what they want? there's quite a lot of deep cuts. there's not all hits. you've got to keep people interested. you know, there's no deep cuts where they're going to go, oh, i need to have a pee or something. and you know, when you put a setlist together, it's really like you want it to climax at the end. and then towards the end of the show, all hell breaks loose. so i'm starting the set with a song i haven't played on stage for about ten years, so we'll see how it goes. you never can predict how it's going to go, but i'm so excited about it and i can't thank emily for being so kind and so supportive and so they've been really wonderful. bring on glastonbury. 0k, girl. it is going to be brilliant. my you going? you have been lots of times. i will be watching. you can listen to the full interview at seven
8:47 am
o'clock tonight on bbc radio 1 over watch it on the bbc iplayer. but you need to know what the weather is going to be like. heavy rain has moved through glastonbury. it may be a bit muggy. today they are looking at heavy and thundery downpours. watching them coming in from the south—west. they are pushing north—eastward through the course of today courtesy of this what the front and behind them it will turn to sunshine but also some showers and ahead of them, we have some sunshine with showers developing. through the morning the thunderstorms and the heavy rain continued to push steadily towards the north—east and then we do have the north—east and then we do have the dizzy cocktail of sunshine and also some showers. temperatures today could get up to 25 degrees somewhere in the south—east but generally 16 to about 24. as we head on through the evening and
8:48 am
overnight, a lot of the showers will tend to fade, the rain clears. by the end of the night we will be left with a few showers in the west. under clear skies, with a few showers in the west. under clearskies, mist with a few showers in the west. under clear skies, mist and fog patches forming and there's going to be another humid night. overnight lows between 12 and 14 or 15 degrees. then into wednesday, if you are off to glastonbury on wednesday, we start with a lot of dry weather and in northern ireland, northern england and other scotland, prolific showers, heavy and thundery with brightness in between. for the rest of england and wales, fewer showers but we can see them from across devon and cornwall that sea breeze is developing. 16 in lerwick to about 25/26 further south. for the rest of glastonbury, it is staying mostly dry. you might catch the odd shower but nothing substantial and if anything it will turn that bit warmer and humid as we move into the weekend. on sunday, temperatures
8:49 am
could be a little bit higher than this. it is a conundrum what to bring. there into friday, this ridge of high pressure settling things down but then we will see the next clutch about at atlantic weather fronts coming away. thursday, dry weather with showers here and there and coming in across northern scotland, wales and northern ireland. a weak front in the south—east which could produce a few showers in the day. temperatures, 15 in lerwick to about 26 as he pushed out towards the south—east. for the weekend, eventually the weather fronts do come in and they will bring more unsettled conditions into the west and the north. carol, thank you very much indeed. carol kept her composure, she has an audience waiting in the wings. i thought they were going to join in with the weather. shall we explain
8:50 am
