diagnosis of dementia, nina has been looking at how important training is for staff in shops and cafes. ashes agony as the aussies edge it. england lose the first test on a nail—biting final day but stokes says they'll stick to their attacking approach. more than 200,000 music fans are preparing to pitch their tents as glastonbury opens its gates this morning. it might be muddy underfoot at glastonbury due to the rain in the past days but after that it is mostly dry. all of us looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. fewest in the south. more frequent in the north. all the details later. it's wednesday, the 21st ofjune. the us coastguard, which is co—ordinating the search for a submersible vessel missing in the atlantic, says a canadian
6:02 am
rescue team has heard underwater noises in the area. it follows us media reports of banging sounds that lasted forfour hours, and came in 30—minute intervals. there are five people on board, which includes three british citizens, and they are thought to have enough oxygen to last one more day, nomia iqbal reports. these are the last kown pictures of the titan submersible. it began its long descent to the bottom of the atlantic ocean on sunday before vanishing without a trace. last year, the bbc filmed the vessel. it is made for five people and can't be opened within, so if anything goes wrong, it has to be found. and with just more than a day and a half left of oxygen inside the vessel, the rescue mission�*s urgency can't be overstated. it is a unique operation, it's a challenging operation, but right now we are focused on putting everything we can at it
6:03 am
and searching as hard as we can and getting people out there as quickly as we can. there are three british people trapped inside. the billionaire explorer hamish harding, businessman shahzada dawood and his 19—year—old son suleman. he had the enthusiastic outlook of a young child, really. he was so excited about this opportunity and he mentioned it with the biggest smile possible on his face in telling me about it. so we were all very excited for him and happy for him that he was able to have this extraordinary opportunity. also inside is french explorer paul—henri nargeolet and stockton rush, the man who runs the company 0ceangate, which is in charge of this expedition to see the titanic remains. this is an experimental sub. people are informed it is very dangerous down there. last year, he showed cbs how the vessel was operated — via a games console. the search and rescue teams
6:04 am
are working in incredibly challenging conditions. this is the worst spring in decades and it's made visibility really low. they are scouring an area in the atlantic ocean that is 70 miles wide and so deep that it's said to be less explored than outer space. the ship carrying the sub left stjohn�*s on friday and travelled to the wreckage site, arriving on sunday for a dive that was meant to last eight hours. but an hour and 45 minutes later, all contact was lost. questions are being asked about the potential safety problems of the submersible. court documents from 2018 reveal a former worker of 0ceangate raised concerns. in the meantime, teams are working out the logistics of what could now become the deepest search and rescue mission ever attempted. cnn and the rolling stone website say they have seen a government e—mail describing banging sound is
6:05 am
at 30 minute intervals in the area where the submersible disappeared. nomia iqbal, bbc news, newfoundland, canada. to bring you up—to—date with more information, which we have from the us coast guard, they have tweeted to confirm the following, canadian p—3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. as a result, remotely operated vehicle operations have been relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of these noises. the most important thing i anchor so far is the searches have yielded negative results. they are continuing. they are sharing the data with naval experts so they can decide which areas to focus on next. the search continues in the middle of the atlantic with hours to go. fingers crossed. injust under an hour, we'll find out how much prices rose in may,
6:06 am
when the latest inflation figures are released. it comes ahead of a bank of england decision tomorrow on whether to raise interest rates, something which could affect millions of mortgage holders across the uk. eating disorders have risen significantly among teenage girls since the covid lockdowns, according to a new study published in the lancet. researchers found that the highest rises came in wealthier areas, although this may be down to girls there having better access to gps. 0ur reporter annabel rackham has been finding out more. since march 2020, when lockdown measures were brought in, eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia were 42% higher in girls aged 13 to 16 and 32% higher in those aged 17 to 19 compared to what had been predicted by experts. researchers from the universities of manchester, exeter and keele looked at anonymous gp health records from over 9 million uk patients.
6:07 am
they focused on those from the ages of 10—24 and looked at records held between 2010 and 2023. annabelle is 19 and developed bulimia during the pandemic, with her family struggling to get her the help she needed. eating was something you could control and it was easy to do because you didn't have to do anything, you didn't have to go to school, you didn't have to go to work or any of that stuff, so no one knew that you weren't eating. you weren't like passing out in public. it was easy to hide. i used to be a very happy athlete. sophie roland also found herself fixated on her weight when she no longer had school as something to focus on. food is fuel, it literally is. it brings every little bit of life back, you get your energy back, you can actually do stuff with your life again and that's one of the main parts i continue to recover, because i actually got my life back. now 18, she shared her recovery from anorexia on social media as a way to help other people.
6:08 am
obviously, people come to my videos and i have had so many dms saying i have helped them. i have had people from my school telling us i helped them. just people you wouldn't realise are struggling. that have spoken out to us. it's such a nice relief to know that you actually help someone. the study also found that where people lived impacted where they could get a diagnosis, with research showing those from wealthier areas had a significantly higher diagnosis rate than those from poorer ones. services are really a postcode lottery, at the moment, depending on where you are in the country. but it's notjust about money. we know that in many areas of the country, they have money in their budget to spend but they can't recruit the right staff — there aren't enough staff willing to fill those vacancies. so what we need is a long—term strategy to actually build the workforce to make sure we have the psychiatrists and nurses we need in 5—10 years' time to make sure we can deal with this crisis. the department for health and social care is said that increasing the number of children and young people's community eating disorder services across england with up
6:09 am
to £54 million of investment a year by march 202a. annabel rackham, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues in that report, there's help on the bbc website. the prime minister will host a meeting of political and business leaders from around the world today, as part of a conference looking at ways to rebuild ukraine both during and after the war. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. what might we expect from this event? it is all about investment and raising funds from government and from private investors to try to help the ukrainian economy. it might seem strange to talk about rebuilding ukraine given how often we talk about the destruction going on at the moment. part of this is about looking forward, trying to work out what reconstruction could
6:10 am
look like. today what the prime minister rishi sunak will announce is $3 billion of loans being underwritten, basically guaranteed by the uk so ukraine can take out loans and use some of that money to try to reconstruct infrastructure that has been destroyed. the uk is linking all of this to the russian effort notjust linking all of this to the russian effort not just to linking all of this to the russian effort notjust to destroy parts of ukrainian infrastructure but also to harm the economy as part of the war effort. what you will hear from rishi sunak today is a pledge that is familiarfrom uk rishi sunak today is a pledge that is familiar from uk leaders rishi sunak today is a pledge that is familiarfrom uk leaders but rishi sunak today is a pledge that is familiar from uk leaders but one we keep hearing because the government thinks it matters and thatis government thinks it matters and that is that the uk will stick with ukraine as long as necessary. today as part of that, showing the financialbacking is there as well as military we have covered so much
6:11 am
over the past few months.- military we have covered so much over the past few months. the chancellorjeremy hunt will give evidence to the covid—i9 inquiry later — when he'll face questions about the uk's preparedness for a pandemic during his six years as health secretary. yesterday, the inquiry heard from the former chancellor george osborne, who said the treasury had not planned for lockdowns but that spending cuts under his tenure meant the uk was better able to cope with the financial pressures of the pandemic. more than three—quarters of councils in england say they may not be able to provide the minimum level of social care support, of social care support required by law. the association of directors of adult social services is calling for the sector to be made a priority over the next decade, amid rising demand. the government says it's providing up to £7.5 billion for social care over the next two years. around one in five women conceive naturally after having a baby through ivf, according to new research. scientists at university college london used data from more than 5,000 women and found that natural pregnancies after fertility treatments are not as unusual
6:12 am
as was previously thought. if your dream is to own your own business in a beautiful location, a scottish island might be the perfect opportunity. an airport in the western isles is looking for someone to provide hospitality for passengers. look at the beach. the airport is on the beach. staff say it could be the perfectjob for the right person. hospitality, what is that? barbecue? teas and coffees. you will have to aim higher to get thejob. now the weather with carol. blue skies. for sun there will be
6:13 am
blue skies but also scattered showers. locally, some could be thundery. many start on a dry note and a sunny note. cloud and mist will burn away. showers in the north, heavy and thundery especially in north—east scotland. fewer in the rest of scotland and england and wales. some will fall as bands. if you are going to queen's or royal ascot, we cannot rule out a shower. you might catch one and be unlucky. depending on your point of view. the temperatures, 13—25. 0vernight, many of the showers will fade. where we have cloud for example in yorkshire, it could be thick enough to produce a shower. 0nce
6:14 am
it could be thick enough to produce a shower. once again some mist forming in the south. 0vernight lows between 9—12. fresh tonight across scotland and northern ireland compared to last night. we start on a mostly dry note tomorrow and tomorrow we will see showers developed. fewerthan tomorrow we will see showers developed. fewer than today but if you catch one, it could be thundery. and more across england and wales. many will miss them altogether. a high tomorrow of 26. then it starts to get warmer and will turn more humid. we have been warned. thanks. an estimated 850,000 people in the uk are living with dementia and that number is likely to grow as the population ages. helping those people to live independently means training staff in shops, cafes and other public spaces to understand their needs.
6:15 am
many already do, of course, but there's a long way to go. nina, whose dad chris has dementia, has been taking a look at this issue, and how a little patience can go a long way. you look very smart today. sometimes, the hardest bit isjust getting out of the door. shall we get a coat on? today it was me, three carers and a lot of patience. lovely. you look great. there's lovely. there's lovely, now, see? 0ver more than an hour to get him up, clean and dressed. so do you fancy a coffee? sorry? do you fancy a coffee? thanking the coffee? what's new with you, then? things are... things are high. honestly, you can feel tired and anxious before you've even arrived at wherever it is you're going. let me just quickly send a message.
6:16 am
what you want, what you need is to get there and feel like you can take your time, like you're not in the way. yeah, i think you had this one last time, didn't you? we've always been a family obsessed with food. sitting and sharing. and this is what we've got left of normal now. toasties, cakes, chips. and laughter — laughing at ourselves and how much we love food. yeah, let's go with that then. i might copy you. i want my dad to be able to choose his own lunch, use his own money, for as long as possible. i think that's really important. that's it, pull it away. well done.
6:17 am
thank you. we have had some brilliant experiences. do you want some more? do you want some more sugar? he'll get some for you. thank you. but we've had some horrible moments. i remember a supermarket worker rolling her eyes at us because it was taking a while at the till. and it's hurtful, it knocks your confidence. there's no concept of time, you know? you say it's 11 years since i was diagnosed. it just doesn't. .. itjust seems like a few months at the most. you described to me what it felt like when information is being told to you and it's not quite settling. what does that feel like? because you're aware it's happening. there used to be a comedian called norman collier and he used to have a microphone and he used to do an act as if the microphone was going off and on. so it used to go, hello,
6:18 am
ladies...and gentlemen, i'll... and that's sometimes when people are talking to us, that's what it sounds like. so i don't get the message. so i always say to them, i'm sorry, i didn't quite get that. and i can't do money. because it was one of the strangest things i felt that i don't recognise that. now, we've got this new plastic money. it's not paper money now, is it? plastic. it just doesn't seem like real money. you play golf, you write music, you go out with your pals, come to cafes like this. you live well. my friend paul, who is also living with alzheimer's, you know. we help one another because when you've got someone that's got empathy with you rather than sympathy with you, it's great because we can just talk about the things we used to do. how much of a difference does it make to your confidence being out and about, when people do take their time, when they speak to you like a real
6:19 am
person, and when they don't panic when they realise that you have dementia? it's the most important thing in the world, because we want to be part of the community, we want to be part of society. when people talk to us and accept us, it gives you an uplift. get your staff trained on how to deal with people with dementia. you know, we're not monsters, we're normal human people, human beings. there's a lot of living to be done between being diagnosed and the end. so keep on living? keep on living. but does your problem with money mean you won't be able to buy me a slice of cake? my friend always says you've always had a problem with money! do you want a bit of cake? i wouldn't mind a piece. yeah, let's get some cake. what's this? 0h! that's a tackle. there are millions of us
6:20 am
doing our very, very best to live alongside this. a one, two, three. well done. and, actually, everyone can do a little bit to help make these shared spaces feel like a comfortable place to be. well done, everyone. i bet you're a brilliant big brother. every time someone engages instead of turning away, every time someone gives us the space to take our time, it helps us to feel like we still belong. thank you so much, guys, thank you. see you next time. # we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two... - and that can protect those important human connections for as long as possible. # then i go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like i love you #. well done, nina. lovely to see chris out and about and nina will be here later with a representative of the
6:21 am
alzheimer's society and an mp looking at what businesses and we all can do to help. let's take a look at today's papers. the hunt for the missing submersible continues to dominate many of the front pages. the daily mail leads with pictures of the five men missing and includes comments by the us coast guard, which has said that the "breathable air" on the vessel could be used up by 10am on thursday uk time. relatives of the british nationals on board have gathered in the canadian town of stjohn�*s, from which the mission set off, and are "praying for a miracle" as they face an agonising wait for news, according to the daily mirror. a story about safety concerns onboard leads the times. the paper reports that former passengers have previously spoken out about the craft�*s safety and said communication outages were common. and you can head to the bbc news
6:22 am
website for more on this story, including a video that the bbc filmed in 2022 showing the inside of the 0ceangate submersible. you can also follow our live web page as the search continues. just to remind you, it has been confirmed by the us coast guard some sort of underwater noises have been detected. it was reported in some american media as being banging. they have not confirmed that, they just said noises. so far, negative search results. those reports came from cnn reporting e—mails they say they had found indicating canadian search aircraft detected the banging in 30 minutes... like a pattern, every 30 minutes... like a pattern, every 30 minutes or so. we do not know how long that lasted but it's from an
6:23 am
internal government memo reported by cnn and rolling stone. later we will be speaking to a scientist who can explain how potentially a rescue could take place. still to come on today's breakfast. we'll show you what happened when a fictional super hero — the marvel movie star will poulter — visited a school to praise some real—life heroes, the teachers and teaching assistants who work there. it's all part of thank a teacher day, and we'll play the full film at around 7.20. it is gorgeous. that is quite an assembly. we'd love to hear about the teachers past or present that you'd like to thank. you can message us on whatsapp —
6:24 am
tell us the teacher's name, the school, and what makes them so special. they can change your life. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm luxmy gopal. the black teenager at the centre of the child q scandal in hackney is still traumatised by what happened, a safeguarding expert has said. the girl was searched in 2020 without an appropriate adult present, after her school called in police when they wrongly believed she had cannabis on her. since the scandal and protests that followed, the number of strip searches across london has dropped by 45%, according to the met. but a new report's found there is still a lack of trust in the police and in some schools. for the school, the particular
6:25 am
school involved, and the police. in the immediate aftermath and shock of this coming to light, there was a defensiveness that was unhelpful. but now that i've gone back over the last year and looked at where we were, and where we are, i don't think you'll be surprised to hear me say that a problem that's grown over so many years hasn't been resolved overnight, or over one year. almost eight out of ten londoners on a low income are skipping meals or going without essentials. the data, from thejoseph rowntree foundation, also suggests londoners are faring worse than elsewhere in the uk because of high housing costs. senior waiter rajeev travels ten miles across london to use a baby bank to get free clothes for his child. teachers at one east london school had a bit of a surprise when a west end star joined their class. the music department at st paul's way trust school in tower hamlets was visited by singer kimberley walsh — who wanted to let them know how much the parents and students appreciated them.
6:26 am
it's all part of �*thank a teacher day'. you can find out more about it on the bbc bitesize website. a quick look at travel. just minor delays on the 0verground this morning. other services running as normal. now onto the weather with sara thornton. morning to you. we had some overnight rain, but most of that has cleared away now. we are starting on a dry and fairly clear note. temperatures at the moment in the mid—teens, so a warm start as well. the next few hours dry with a lot of sunshine. this afternoon some cloud bubbling up. it could bring the odd stray shower. but typically it is a much drier day than yesterday. in the best of it, averages into the mid 20s celsius. it will be warm. as we go through the night tonight, we are dry and generally clear. we go to see a little bit of mist and murk into the start of things tomorrow morning.
6:27 am
another warm start and a dry one for you tomorrow. the big picture is this. high pressure is close by and edging in at the end of the week. it generally keeps frontal systems at bay. that is not to say it will be completely dry in the next few days, but certainly a lot of dry weather in the forecast. there could be some showers around tomorrow, and again potentially on friday. they could be thundery, but not so many of them around, especially into the weekend. it does turn especially warm at the weekend, into the high 20s on sunday. that's it for now — i'll have your next update on news, travel and weather in around half an hour. in the meantime, it's back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our main story this morning is a very slight glimmer of hope in the search for the submersible which has gone missing in the atlantic, with five people on board. in the last hour the us coastguard —
6:28 am
which is co—ordinating the search — has confirmed that a canadian rescue team has heard "underwater noises" in the area. they've deployed remotely operated search vehicles and they're intensifying the search in that area, but haven't yet found anything. we will bring you any news as soon as we get it. the disappearance has raised questions about the safety of the vessel. cbsjournalist, david pogue, was one of the first people invited to board the sub, but his dive to the ocean floor was abandoned half way through, due to mechanical issues. he shared his experience with us. i was invited as a journalist to go on the sub to the titanic. so, it's a nine day adventure. you're out in the middle of north atlantic for most of that entire time. i was, first, terrified. i didn't sleep at all
6:29 am
the first couple of nights. and then excited when i got a tour of the sub and i realised that it was designed with many redundant safety features. and then i got in and we began our dive, and we got 37 feet down and they had a mechanical problem and had to cancel. inside, the sub has about as much room as a minivan. so, this is not your grandfather's submersible. we only have one button — that's it. it should be like an elevator. you know, it shouldn't take a lot of skill. i couldn't help noticing how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised. "an experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death." where do i sign? this is a very dangerous enterprise. it is marketed to adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, people with a lot of money who want to live on the edge.
6:30 am
the kind of people who would go into space on blue 0rigin or something. so you are given a document that outlines all the different dangers you might encounter. it is literally about eight paragraphs of prose, each one of which ends in the phrase, "and i understand this may result in permanent disability or death" over and over and over, and you have to sign it. this experiment takes place in international waters, so there is no governing body that has inspected or regulated this submersible. so you really are on your own. most of the time they don't make it down there. sometimes they make it down one time out of the five, at most twice out of the five days. apparently those floats there came off the platform. and that wasn't supposed to happen. on our fourth day of trying to get down there, i wasn't on the sub, but paying passengers were. the sub did get lost on the sea floor.
6:31 am
that is, they were in communication with the ship on the surface, but they couldn't find the titanic. there is no gps underwater. regular radio waves don't travel underwater. so those customers who paid a quarter of million dollars spent three hours in pitch darkness and never found anything. titan sitting at 3,742 - metres, reports on bottom. i was terrified about getting stuck at the bottom of the sea, losing power. and i saw that there are not two back—up systems, not four — there are seven different ways to come up to the surface. there are sandbags to drop, metal pipes to drop. you can detach the legs and ditch those as weight. there's an air balloon that inflates. you can use your thrusters — all of these different ways, some of which do not require power. so even if the electricity goes out, it'll still work. even if the hydraulics go out — and one of them actually works
6:32 am
to come back to the surface, even if everybody on board has passed out. so it's an automatic time release sandbag dropping system. and that makes me think that, no matter what happened to the titan, if they are not trapped or destroyed under the sea, that they must be on the surface somewhere floating. i have doubts that 0ceangate will continue titanic dives after this event, even if they survive. and i think that means that's probably the end of titanic diving at all for tourists for some time. so i would imagine it will have a chilling effect on this whole industry. fascinating insight there from someone who has actually been inside this thing that we're now looking for and describing how very quickly it failed and they had to be brought
6:33 am
back to the surface. find it failed and they had to be brought back to the surface.— back to the surface. and how small it is and how _ back to the surface. and how small it is and how dark— back to the surface. and how small it is and how dark it _ back to the surface. and how small it is and how dark it is _ back to the surface. and how small it is and how dark it is down - back to the surface. and how small it is and how dark it is down there. | it is and how dark it is down there. i was in the atlantic covering the centenary of the titanic disaster just over a decade ago for breakfast. we did not go down in a submersible. we stayed on the surface of the water. but even then you are so struck by how isolated the situation is. you are hundreds of miles from anywhere and anybody else. it is so dark at night. and so cold. it is so lonely. and you can't imagine how much colder and darker and lonelier it is once you start going down there, especially in this terrible situation for these guys. yes, as we have been telling you this morning, reports we have heard from us media say canadian coastguard have detected banging in 30 minute intervals. we will bring you the very latest on that search operation as we get it here on the programme.
6:34 am
6:34am. we are also going to get the latest insight into the rising cost of living a bit later. the monthly infection figures are announced. ben is at farmers — infection figures are announced. ben is at farmers and food producers, and some otherfriends, is at farmers and food producers, and some other friends, the royal cheshire show. good morning. what are we expecting to learn today? it is already very busy. good morning. yes, we arejust outside knutsford at the royal cheshire show. we will get the inflation figures later. getting the cattle ready here. more prizes being awarded today. the show has been going for 185 years. but the farmers and the growers are aware, more so than in any other time in their history, the rising cost of food, notjust buying it, but also producing it as well. we will get the latest inflation figures for the economy as a whole later this morning. let me talk you through what we know.
6:35 am
inflation did fall significantly in april, it finally came in just below 10%. it finally came in just below 10%. it was still at 8.7%, higher than the government was expecting, higher than analysts were expecting. the government has pledged to halve inflation by the end of this year. one of the big problems is stubbornly high food costs. grocery prices are rising still at 16.5% compared with a year ago. that is on average. some food products are going up even more steeply. milk, for example, cheese, sugar, potatoes, farmers very aware of that. because of all that the bank of england is likely to increase interest rates again tomorrow to try to put a brake on those rising prices. the idea is if people spend less, if there is less demand, prices don't rise as fast. in the short term of course it is misery for people with mortgages, loans and
6:36 am

6:42 am
i think that's what we're trying to achieve as a team. the drama began on pause. rain robbed us of the morning. but at 2:15pm, this place rose to the challenge ahead. a day to say you were there, maybe. moeen ali never thought he would be. he removed travis head, having been coaxed out of test retirement. australia five down and under huge pressure. but they play classic cricket, never panicking. the target crept below 100. in this game though you're never far from the next twist. cameron green bowled by ollie robinson, england back in it. but moeen's spinning finger was proving too painful, so the captain took the ball. and ben stokes makes things happen. even on a weakened knee, gone was the dangerous usman khawaja. and so too alex carey, disappearing in a miraculous moment from joe root. england needed two wickets, australia sa runs. time to fight. pat cummins, their captain, aimed skyward, momentum shifted, the mood shifted.
6:43 am
the other batter, nathan lyon, felt emboldened. but wait, stokes was out there. had he caught it? agonisingly, no. and it was ended fittingly by the bat of captain pat. the game's final twist was in australia's direction. well, what a start to the ashes that was. two teams playing contrasting styles, constant shifts in momentum. it's australia who lead 1—0. but with a five match ashes series, there will be plenty of twists yet. patrick geary, bbc news, edgbaston. how different it could have been if ben stokes had held onto that catch. now we know how wet it was at edgbaston yesterday morning. but i think hampden park last night tops that. look at these conditions as scotland took on georgia in euros qualifying. after getting under way, the pitch was soon rendered unplayable. and you can see why with the amount of water— and you can see why with the amount of water on _ and you can see why with the amount of water on the surface.
6:44 am
not before scotland took the lead through calum mcgregor. an hour— and a half the fans waited before the game resumed, scott mctominay, added another in the second half, georgia also missed a penalty. it's now four wins in a row for scotland, they're sitting pretty at the top of their qualifying group. i'm thinking we want to keep the run going. the next game is cyprus. we want to keep winning. we want to keep putting points on the board. like i say, nobody knows what the points tally will be. so, we'lljust keep picking up points as often as we can. and at the end of the group we'll tally up and see if we've made it. before i praise my players, which i'm going to do, i've got to praise the crowd. it would have been so easy for them to pack up and go. they stayed, they sang. absolutely magnificent. ten out of ten. now no sooner had we talked up andy murray's chances at wimbledon after back—to—back grass—court titles, he fell at the first hurdle at queen's club yesterday — a tournament he's previously won five times. he was was beaten in straight sets by the australian alex de minaur and it means murray is now extremely
6:45 am
unlikely to be seeded at the all england club next month, which means he could face novak djokovic in the first round. you can'tjust play for, you know, 30 days in a row. you do need to take breaks. that is the one positive from today is that i get an opportunity now to take a few days break and then... and then, yeah, i'll train and get a proper period of work done before wimbledon starts. not a great day for british number one katie boulter either, she was beaten in straight sets by china's zhu lin in the first round of the birmingham classic. and jodie burrage lost to harriet dart in an all british contest, dart coming from behind to win in three sets. really contrasting fortunes. isn't itiust? _ really contrasting fortunes. isn't itjust? the next ashes really contrasting fortunes. isn't it just? the next ashes test

6:47 am
scotland, potentially the north—east of england. in between the showers there will be a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine, and fewer showers across england and wales. not as wet as it was yesterday. right now that would not be too difficult. this evening and overnight many of the showers will fade. areas of cloud. we could see the odd shower. tonight it is going to be a cooler night across scotland and northern ireland than it was last night. generally order overnight lows between eight and 12. into tomorrow, any mist and fog patches that have formed overnight will quickly clear and tomorrow again we are looking at a largely dry start to the day. tomorrow they will be pure showers in scotland and northern ireland. —— fewer. more in england and wales. the odd rumble of thunder in east anglia. not all of us will catch a shower. many of us will get away with a dry day. these are the temperatures. 15 to 27 degrees. moving on into friday, we
6:48 am
have got a weather front coming in from the atlantic. that is throwing in more cloud and also some rain. the driest conditions will be across some southern and south—eastern parts of the country. temperature wise it is going to start to feel humid. especially in the south—east. we are looking at 16 to about 25 degrees. that takes us into the weekend. we are clinging on high pressure. but we do have weather fronts moving across the northern half of the country. by sunday another one coming in which is going to be sweeping southwards. we are dragging in all these hot and humid airfrom the near dragging in all these hot and humid air from the near continent across our shores. air from the near continent across ourshores. so air from the near continent across our shores. so you really will start to notice that, notjust by day but by night. so, on saturday, western areas will be cloudy with some rain as the weather front comes in. for central and southern england and the south—east it will be dry, sunny and humid. 0n south—east it will be dry, sunny and humid. on sunday the front moves east, cooler air behind,

she was diagnosd with breast cancer. i didn't think i'd ever be able to do it. i went through ten rounds of chemo. and i went to 30 rounds of radiation. i was so scared, because you never know if you're going to make it. but i got through it. i hadn't really paid that much attention to the lyrics, because i hadn't been through anything that devastating. but when i got cancer, those lyrics came alive. sometimes i feel like throwing my hands up in the air, on my way to chemo i marched right into my own booth where they had me, and i would just lie there and be at peace, every time. i remember the first time i went to glastonbury i was shocked, because the crowds were so massive.
6:52 am
i can't wait to get back to that stage. i tell you, it is an amazing stage. i love glastonbury. # got the love, got the love...# glastonbury is many things. a kaleidoscope of characters and colours. but it's also always been very green, long before anyone was concerned about climate change. tickets! meaning this, the world's smallest solar powered mobile cinema, fits in perfectly. it's been very sunny, as everyone knows, and we can store that electricity, that solar electricity, in our leisure batteries, so we will be taking a bit of the south wales sun to glastonbury. and from an audience of eight, to potentially 90,000, this bristol windrush choir are performing on the pyramid stage ahead of eltonjohn on sunday. i got a call on a friday morning.
6:53 am
i was asked, are you sitting down? i said, oh, goodness, yes. so, sat down and i was told that we were going to perform at glastonbury, which is immensely exciting. and then a minute later i was told it's the pyramid stage. this is absolutely massive. i remember literally last year hearing allj about diana ross and all of - the amazing singers and line up at glastonbury, and thinking, i want to go, i want- to be there next year. i had no idea i would actually be there and leading the choir- and singing myself- on the pyramid stage. that'sjust really mind blowing. i know that the glastonbury crowd is going to be really buzzing because we're going to be on in the midday when the crowd is rocking. and because of reggae music, people are going to love it, so they will be jumping for joy.

good morning from bbc london, i'm luxmy gopal. the black teenager at the centre of the child q scandal in hackney is still traumatised by what happened, a safeguarding expert has said. the girl was searched in 2020 without an appropriate adult present after her school called in police when they wrongly believed she had cannabis on her. since the scandal and protests that followed, the number of strip—searches across london has dropped by 45 per cent according to the met. but a new report's found there is still a lack of trust in the police and in some schools. for the school, the particular school involved, and the police in the immediate aftermath and shock of this coming to light, there was a defensiveness that was unhelpful. but now that i've gone back over the last year and looked at where we were, and where we are, i don't think you'll be surprised to hear me say that a problem that's grown over so many years hasn't been resolved
6:58 am
overnight, or over one year. almost eight out of ten londoners on a low income are skipping meals or going without essentials. the data from thejoseph rowntree foundation, rowntree foundation also suggests londoners are faring worse than elsewhere in the uk because of high housing costs. senior waiter rajeev travels 10 miles across london to use a babybank to get free clothes for his child. our whole salary�*s going to the rent, bills and extra. that left over is for our food. i'm struggling to get the clothes for my baby then. i choose to collect baby clothing, for my baby, toys and everything. teachers at an east london school had a bit of a surprise when a west end star joined their class. st paul's way trust school in tower hamlets was visited by singer kimberley walsh as part of thank a teacher day.
6:59 am
you can find out more about it on the bbc bitesize website. a quick look at travel. services running as normal except planned closures on the waterloo and city line the weather with sara thornton. we had some overnight rain, but most of that has cleared away now. we are starting on a dry and fairly clear note. temperatures at the moment in the mid—teens, so a warm start as well. the next few hours dry with a lot of sunshine. this afternoon some cloud bubbling up. it could bring the odd stray shower. but typically it is a much drier day than yesterday. in the best of it, averages into the mid 20s celsius. it will be warm. as we go through the night tonight, we are dry and generally clear. we go to see a little bit of mist and murk into the start we could see a little bit of mist and murk into the start of things tomorrow morning. another warm start and a dry one for you tomorrow. the big picture is this. high pressure is close by and edging in at the end of the week. it generally keeps frontal systems at bay. that is not to say it will be completely dry in the next few days, but certainly a lot of dry
7:00 am
weather in the forecast. there could be some showers around tomorrow, and again potentially on friday. they could be thundery, but not so many of them around, especially into the weekend. it does turn especially warm at the weekend, into the high 20s on sunday. that's it for now — i'll have your next update on news, travel and weather in around half an hour. in the meantime it's back tojon and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. a glimmer of hope in the search for the missing titanic sub — the us coast guard says rescuers have heard underwater noises near where the vessel was lost. but with time and oxygen running out the rescue effort is intensifying. it's a unique operation, it's a challenging operation, but right now, we are focused
7:01 am
on putting everything we can at it. morning from the royal cheshire show. it is all about the numbers with prize—winning cattle and also with prize—winning cattle and also with the economy. we have the latest inflation figures in the next minutes and i will get reaction live. ashes agony as the aussies edge it. england lose the first test on a nail—biting final day but stokes says they'll stick to their attacking approach. and fresh from becoming a guardian of the galaxy, hollywood actor will poulter makes a surprise visit to a hero closer to home for thank a teacher day. good morning. a mixture of sunshine and showers today. the heavier showers in scotland and northern ireland, northern england. in the rest of england and wales, sunshine and showers but fewer and further between. all the details later. it's wednesday the 21st ofjune.
7:02 am
our main story. in the last few minutes, the us coastguard — which is co—ordinating the search for a submersible vessel missing in the atlantic — has confirmed that a rescue team has heard underwater noises in the area. the northeastern coastguard has tweeted that it was a canadian search plane which heard the noises and that rovs, or remotely operated underwater vehicles, have been deployed in that area but have not yet found anything. a second tweet from the coastguard says the information has been shared with the us navy. it follows us media reports of banging sounds which lasted four hours, and came in 30—minute intervals. there are five people on board, including three british citizens. they are thought to have enough oxygen to last one more day. nomia iqbal has just sent this
7:03 am
report on the search. these are the last kown pictures of the titan submersible. it began its long descent to the bottom of the atlantic ocean on sunday before vanishing without a trace. last year, the bbc filmed the vessel. it is made for five people and can't be opened within, so if anything goes wrong, it has to be found. and with just more than a day and a half left of oxygen inside the vessel, the rescue mission's urgency can't be overstated. cnn and the rolling stone website say they have seen an e—mail describing banging noises at intervals where the submersible disappeared. it is a unique operation, it's a challenging operation, but right now we are focused on putting everything we can at it and searching as hard as we can and getting people out there as quickly as we can. there are three british people trapped inside. the billionaire explorer hamish harding, businessman
7:04 am
shahzada dawood and his 19—year—old son suleman. he had the enthusiastic outlook of a young child, really. he was so excited about this opportunity and he mentioned it with the biggest smile possible on his face in telling me about it. so we were all very excited for him and happy for him that he was able to have this extraordinary opportunity. also inside is french explorer paul—henri nargeolet and stockton rush, the man who runs the company 0ceangate, which is in charge of this expedition to see the titanic remains. this is an experimental sub. people are informed it is very dangerous down there. last year, he showed cbs how the vessel was operated — via a games console. the search and rescue teams are working in incredibly challenging conditions. this is the worst spring in decades and it's made visibility really low. they are scouring an area in the atlantic ocean that is 70 miles wide and so deep that it's
7:05 am
said to be less explored than outer space. the ship carrying the sub left stjohn's on friday and travelled to the wreckage site, arriving on sunday for a dive that was meant to last eight hours. but an hour and 45 minutes later, all contact was lost. questions are being asked about the potential safety problems of the submersible. court documents from 2018 reveal a former worker at 0ceangate raise concerns. in the meantime, teams are working out the logistics of what could now become the deepest search and rescue mission ever attempted. nomia iqbal, bbc news, newfoundland, canada. let's get more on this. from where the rescue is being co—ordinated. shall we start with the noises
7:06 am
reported. what are you hearing? this is potentially — reported. what are you hearing? in 3 is potentially at least the first glimmer of hope we might have and the first signs there could be signs of life on board that vessel where five people could be trapped. what we know is coming from an official twitter account from the us coast guard. i can read what it says, it says the canadian aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area as a result of the remote operated vehicles and drones deployed to the area where the noises took place. the search revealed negative results. but why this is so important, we know this search does not have a lot of time left. there could be a day and a half or less of aeron board. the search has taken place across a wide area the size of the state of connecticut. any clue the state of connecticut. any clue the searches and wreck —— and the
7:07 am
rescuers, where they search could be critical, especially the time restraints they have. this comes from unconfirmed reports saying there were banging noises 30 minutes apart on tuesday. this has been quoted as from an internal government documents and reports again bbc news has not been able to verify. they seem to be similar so it is something to pay attention to and something that will get attention of people watching and waiting for news on these missing people. waiting for news on these missing reo . le. ., . waiting for news on these missing neale, ., ., ., waiting for news on these missing n-eole. ., . . , . people. you are an experienced television _ people. you are an experienced television corresponded. - people. you are an experienced television corresponded. we i people. you are an experienced | television corresponded. we are people. you are an experienced i television corresponded. we are in the business of showing images on any story. the scale of this is so vast, we cannot bring images of the search and rescue operation. can you give us an idea of the intensity of
7:08 am
the scale of the rescue operation and how many are involved and a sense of urgency you are feeling over there?— sense of urgency you are feeling over there? . ., �* .,, ., over there? where we are in boston, this is where — over there? where we are in boston, this is where those _ over there? where we are in boston, this is where those efforts _ over there? where we are in boston, this is where those efforts are - this is where those efforts are being coordinated. it began with the us coast guard because that area is 900 miles off the coast and very remote but that is the responsibility of the coastguard in this area. it became clear this was going to be a bigger mission and more complicated than what they would be able to handle so we are now seeing an international effort. there are aircraft, ships, various different bits of equipment headed to canada coming from different countries. canadian forces, to canada coming from different countries. canadianforces, french vessels on the way, american navy and coastguard involved. there is a sense that time is a factor. we have seen two press conferences in the past couple of days and we hear
7:09 am
about all kinds of personnel being deployed. because of the remote location, 900 miles off the coast, in order to get any of the relevant and important rescue and search equipment to that area, they have to start now. the types of vessels that can take heavy equipment do not move fast. unless you get off to a running start, there is little chance of being able to get to the vessel once located in enough time so that the air does not run out. huge interest in this with people following it second by second. how has this news that potentially sounds of being hurt, how can that change the mood where you are? it definitely woke a few people up in our hotel tonight. this is pretty big news and some of these reports are not confirmed but others coming from the twitter account and i can
7:10 am
tell you there is media to my left and right also excitedly reporting some of these details. this is a big story. the titanic has such an interesting history. so many fanatics of this ship, the shipwreck. people go out to visit the site. we know an explorer on board has seen it multiple times. being on the east coast and where the original route was taking place for the titanic coming from england to new york, people from the area ended up passing away. there is a titanic museum in the area. there is plenty of interest. and this part of the area, as the country wakes up, this news will make the headlines. thank you. we will return to that story if and when we get any more news. in the last few minutes, the office for national statistics has released
7:11 am
the latest inflation figures. analysts expected a drop but the rate is not shifting. ben can tell us more, he's in knutsford. good morning. plenty to chew over notjust good morning. plenty to chew over not just for the cattle good morning. plenty to chew over notjust for the cattle but good morning. plenty to chew over not just for the cattle but for us with these numbers. the figure is not expected by analysts and not what the government and bank of england hoped for. in may, inflation stuck at 8.7%. it did not rise but also it did not fall. when we talk about inflation we talk about the average rise in prices for goods and services compared to a year earlier. 8.7% means if you spend £100 on things a year ago, by may this year, the same things would have cost £108 70. it is the rise in prices. we are
7:12 am
seeing that pressure on households and businesses, things getting more expensive. it is an average so somethings will have gone up even more sharply than that. the breakdown of figures shows that food inflation is running significantly higher than the average for goods and services in the economy. food inflation, food and drink prices rising at more than 18% compared with where they were a year ago. some good news. the price of fuel for motor vehicles has fallen in the past year. and a notable feature, prices have been pushed upwards by people spending on live music events. a lot of big concerts and that has had an effect on overall inflation. i will have more details later. studio: thank you. it has already
7:13 am
been a busy morning. it will be a long day literally. in the best way. the sun has risen on the summersolstice, orthe longest day of the year. dan o'brien is at stonehenge. the party is still going on. you might be able to hear the drums inside the stone circle. the only time of year you can get into the ancient monument rather than walking around the outside and the circle has been rammed throughout the night. we have been here since the early hours and drums and singing have not stopped. they think, at its peak, around 8000 people turned out this year which is bigger than they have seen in recent years at the summer solstice at stonehenge. although the weather
7:14 am
looks cloudy now, at 4.52 this morning, when it was sunrise, we had a bit of mist and we saw the sunrise. not to be taken for granted. i have done a few of these and it is often cloudy. this year we saw the sunrise, a magnificent moment. the atmosphere is difficult to describe. for some it is an important ritual and spiritual moment. some are here to have a good time. i spoke to many people on their way to glastonbury festival. that is just down the road in somerset. no arrests. just a couple by wiltshire police. but a big, exciting event for that moment of the year when it is in the spotli-ht. spotlight. i can see the dancing behind you, thank you. what are they doing? we can go to
7:15 am
carol. these are the pollen levels. grass pollen. high across the board. the summer solstice means we have the most hours of daylight at this time of year today. and the fewest hours of darkness. you can see on the satellite how much cloud there is, not a lot but we are seeing showers in the west. as we go through the day those showers will move east. many starting with a lot of dry weather. and indeed sunshine. some showers in western scotland. some showers in western scotland. some getting into northern ireland and a couple in wales and the south—west. the exception rather than the rule at this moment. but as we go through the day across
7:16 am
scotland, northern ireland, northern england, showers become more frequent and widespread and you can hear the odd rumble of thunder in the far north—east. showers in england and wales, not everyone will catch one. it will not be as wet as yesterday. temperatures, 15 in the north, 25 in the south. overnight, many showers fade. we are looking at cloud and we could see the odd shower out of that. a cooler night in scotland and northern ireland. the over night low 8—14. tomorrow, starting with some showers, a lot of dry weather, and more showers developing in england and wales but not everyone will catch one. fewer and further between in northern ireland and scotland. beyond that, it will turn warmer, especially in
7:17 am
the south. but we will also see rain coming in from the west. the bbc has uncovered evidence showing that hundreds of chronically sick and mentally ill patients from the windrush generation were sent back to the caribbean in what the government has called an "historic injustice". legal experts say the practice may have been unlawful — and the families of those affected are calling for an inquiry. 0ur correspondent navtej johal has this exclusive story. i never had a father. i never had a father figure in my life. when she was just eight years old, june's father, joseph armatrading, vanished from her life. he had arrived in britain from st kitts in 1954 as part of the windrush generation. he had a wife and five daughters, but he was in a hospital struggling with his mental health. and in 1966, her mother told them that he had gone back home, never to be seen by them again.
7:18 am
i did feel, and i still do, we were abandoned. we were left. it's a massive, big heart break. because you just think why me? we're about to showjune documents that will transform her understanding of her own life. really sad because... i'm sorry. they reveal thatjoseph armatrading was repatriated to st kitts on mental health grounds, but, upon arrival, he wrote to the uk government that he wanted to return to his family. in internal letters, officials admit mistakes were made in his case and that he should be allowed to return. but he never did. it's an emotional discovery for june, who's never known any of this. i'm still shocked now. i'm upset. it's upsetting.
7:19 am
it's really upsetting to know that. how dare they? this was a vulnerable man. you're supposed to look after your vulnerable people. and they didn't, theyjust left him. they abandoned him. joseph's was one of many cases where mentally ill patients were repatriated to the caribbean. using documents stored in the national archives, for the first time, we can show the extent of how many of the windrush generation were repatriated in the 19505, �*60s and �*705. our findings show more than 400 chronically sick and mentally ill patients were sent back to the caribbean. and evidence suggests it wasn't always for their benefit. government documents from the 19605 show that people likejune's dad should only have been repatriated if they wanted to return, if their doctor felt it would benefit their health, and if there were resources there to look after them.
7:20 am
but this letterfrom the jamaican high commission says hospital authorities were trying to send patients back largely due to pressure on beds, giving the impression that this was being done regardless of whether adequate treatment was available. the windrush generation had the same legal status as someone born in the uk. lawyerjacqueline mckenzie has represented hundreds of victims of the windrush scandal. she and other experts we've spoken to questioned the legality of the repatriations. we do not know the full extent of it and how many thousands of people may be affected in terms of children and grandchildren of some of the people who went. the state now owes it to the descendants of people who were affected to provide them with answers and some sort of redress. she and june are now calling for an inquiry into these repatriations.
7:21 am
in a statement, a government spokesperson said... but forjune, she's still left with the question of what happened to her father. they've left us lost. i'm a lost girl looking for answers. navteonhal, bbc news. if any of what you've heard resonates with you please contact us — #bbcwindrush. it's that time of year
7:22 am
when a lot of school children are enjoying end—of—term treats. but not many will be getting a visit from a real—life marvel movie star. that's what happened at a primary school in london, when the guardians of the galaxy actor will poulter got involved in thank a teacher day — and for a very special reason. tim muffett went along. have you told your parents? i did, yeah. i told my parents. in a school in southwest london, a surprise is about to take place starring will poulter. an actor whose career is reaching new heights. 0n the ground! he's just starred in the marvel blockbuster guardians of the galaxy 3. but he's here today because of his sister. today is national thank a teacher day. i've decided to surprise my little sister and thank her. tell us about your sister and how important she is to you.
7:23 am
charlie's amazing. you know, ithink, like many teachers, she's something of an unsung hero. and she takes on a huge responsibility not only to, i think, educate, but also kind of consider the sort of wellbeing of young people. i'm immensely proud of her. who here is ready to celebrate thank a teacher day? all: me! organised by the teaching awards trust, thank a teacher day began in 2014 to celebrate the commitment and professionalism found in so many schools. we want to raise the morale of all those who work in education. they make a huge difference to the lives of young people across the uk. and today is a day where everyone has the opportunity to say thank you. going to play a lovely surprise on your sister. are you ready? i think so. i'm very nervous, but i'm looking forward to it. ok, let's do it. let's do it. when i kind of reflect on the degree to which myjob is sort of celebrated and platformed and how
7:24 am
people in roles such as teachers, you know, are often kind of overlooked. i think we have a visitor at the door. hi, miss. hi, how you doing? hi, everybody. hi, how's it going? hi, miss charlotte. it's national thank a teacher day, so i wanted to say thank you to you and all your colleagues. what you do is so amazing. and can i give you a hug? i'm so proud of you. congrats. and i'm sorry. please forgive me. this is the bbc, so you have to forgive me for that. i'm sorry. she's funny and she's cool. she's a great person. she's always kind to everyone. when we play football, i when she's on my team, she's good for my team. do we always win? and we always win. yeah.
7:25 am
it's the first time i've called her miss charlotte. i'm calling her miss charlotte because you all do. but, you know, i think she cares deeply about this job and she loves working with this team of teachers and teaching assistants and she also loves this group of young people. the whole team are incredible. it's very much a joint effort. and, yeah, i'm very lucky to work with people that i do. it's certainly not about me. it's, yeah, teamwork. all: cheese! miss charlotte's a legend. now, a thank you doesn't have to take the form of a personal visit. it might be an email, a note, a video message, or you can even download a personalised thank—you card. this year, it's been drawn by charlie mackesy, creator of the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse. everyone in this school, to the dinner ladies to the cleaner, do amazing work to make this school run effectively. and i'm so proud of the whole team and it's so nice
7:26 am

are talking about the submersible but it is about five people and their families. theirfamilies. and of course we will bring you all the latest information we have as we get it here throughout the morning. we have correspondents in the united states bringing us information. whatever we hear we will bring to you as soon as we have it. the time is now 7:43am _ you as soon as we have it. the time is now 7:43am and _ you as soon as we have it. the time is now 7:43am and carol _ you as soon as we have it. the time is now 7:43am and carol as - you as soon as we have it. the time is now 7:43am and carol as the i is now 7:43am and carol as the weather. good morning. if you are out and about in the next few days and you are wondering what the weather is going to be like, what the pollen levels are going to be like, or indeed when sunrise or sunset is, you can check it out on the bbc weather app. what we have today is a mixture of sunshine and also some showers. the showers are going to be most frequent across scotland, northern ireland and northern england as we go through the day. less frequent across the rest of england and wales. we will also see a good bit of sunshine. to start with it is largely dry. the showers will get moving from the west to the
7:44 am
east through the day. you could hear the odd rumble of thunder across north—east scotland and north—east angle. don't forget, in between these showers there will be some sunny skies to look forward to. as we come further south there is less of a chance of the rumble of thunder, but you mightjust hear one. if you are heading to glastonbury today, it should state largely dry. the same for royal ascot and the queen's club. tonight most of those showers will fade. we have some cloud around yorkshire. you might catch the odd one. it is going to be a cooler night in northern ireland and scotland than it was last night. overnight lows generally eight to 14 degrees. as we started the day tomorrow any patchy mist and fog that has formed over night will disperse. most of us starting off with a dry and also a sunny day. we will see the out shower develop in england and wales. most of us missing them. for scotland and northern ireland drier thanit scotland and northern ireland drier than it is going to be today. the temperatures 15 to about 27 degrees.
7:45 am
a bit of a change on friday. we have a weather front coming in from the west. that will introduce more cloud. i had about we will see this rain. for central and southern england, into the south—east, it should stay dry. if you are of to royal ascot or queen's club you will need to bring all your sun protection with you because it is going to be quite a hot day, possibly 27 degrees. then into the weekend, high pressure still hanging on by the skin of eight teeth. we have got weather fronts crossing the north of the country, which at times will bring in some rain. we are also scooping up this hot humid airfrom the near continent. especially in southern areas it is going to be a hot and humid weekend. on saturday in the west it is going to be cloudy with spots of rain as a weather front comes in. central and southern england and the south—east dry, humid, temperatures climbing. on sunday the weather front pushes down towards the south—east, behind it we
7:46 am
are looking at cooler conditions. ahead of it we are in hot and humid weather. if anything, temperatures that bit higher. thank you. everybody was thinking about the weather yesterday, thinking that maybe might sort things out. it wasn't to be. john has the sport, starting with the ashes. yes, good morning. only one place to start the two wicket defeat. we have seen the new style under ben stokes in full flow. we witnessed what it is all about at the moment. risking defeat in pursuit of victory, as happened at edgbaston, as opposed to playing more conservatively and holding out for a draw. whilst it is appointed, the england captain says thatis appointed, the england captain says that is what he wants his team to be remembered for, after a classic final day of test cricket when joe root clung on to dismiss alex carey it looked for all the world like england would win. australia still needed over 50 runs with two wickets
7:47 am
remaining, but it was the australian captain pat cummins and nathan lion who took the attack to england. how different the result could have been had ben stokes held onto that one to dismiss nathan lion. in the end though it was pat cummins who hit the winning runs. we all need a bit of a rest ahead of the second test which starts at lord's in a week. we did really well and are really placid pitch to get anywhere near winning this game to be honest, because it was pretty average for the bowlers to get wickets. but we did. we got really close. obviously we are disappointed. but as i said, lots of positive things to take out of this game. lots of positive things to take out of this game-— lots of positive things to take out of this game. four more games to come. of this game. four more games to come- we — of this game. four more games to come- we can _ of this game. four more games to come. we can expect _ of this game. four more games to come. we can expect more - of this game. four more games to come. we can expect more of- of this game. four more games to come. we can expect more of the| of this game. four more games to - come. we can expect more of the same next week. it is a very exciting time in scottish football. the men's national team in pole position to qualify for the next major tournament, the euros. not even the

torrential conditions could dampen the enthusiasm at hampden park in scotland made it four wins out of fourin scotland made it four wins out of four in qualifying. callum mcgregor put them ahead before play was stopped in the game for an hour and a half. everyone shared the pitch of the standing water. scott mctominay later added another. and scotland will be on top of the world at the moment. they are top of their qualifying group and on course for next summer's bureaus. andy murray says he wont overreact to defeat at queens's now there are hopes that andy murray could roll back the years at wimbledon this summer following back—to—back grass—court titles at surbiton and nottingham. but he fell at the first hurdle at queen's club yesterday — a tournament he's previsously won five times. he was was beaten in straight sets by the australian alex de minaur and murray is now extremely unlikely to be seeded at the all england club next month
7:49 am
at the birmingham classic there was disappointment for katie boulter in herfirst disappointment for katie boulter in her first match as the british number one. she was beaten in straight sets by china's zhu lin who goes through to the last 16. jodie burrage would have replaced boulter as british number one if she'd managed to get to the final in birmingham, but she lost to fellow brit harriet dart who came from behind to win in three sets mixed fortunes at the moment for those british players, in particular andy murray, but with some rest he could be in good shape with wimbledon around the corner. let's hope so. thank you. it is ten minutes to eight. at exactly eight o'clock the gates will open at glastonbury for the first campers to go in. it is looking dry and sunny for most of the weekend. that is good news for everybody pitching a tent. may be disappointing for people who enjoy the mud. two people glad to be

we are at the glastonbury festival where the gates have just opened. good morning, it is looking like it will be a mostly dry glastonbury. today a mixture of sunshine and showers and the most frequent will be in the north of the country. fewer and further between in the southern half. all the details later. it's wednesday the 21st ofjune. in the last few minutes, the us coastguard — which is co—ordinating the search for a submersible vessel missing in the atlantic — has confirmed that a rescue team has heard underwater noises in the area. the coastguard's northeast branch has tweeted that it was a canadian search plane which heard the noises and that rovs, or remotely operated vehicles, have been deployed in that area but have not yet found anything. a second tweet from the coast guard
8:01 am
says the information has been shared with the us navy for further analysis. the update followed reports in the us media reports of banging sounds that lasted four hours, and came in 30—minute intervals. here are five people on board — including three british citizens. they are thought to have enough oxygen to last one more day. our correspondent carl nasman is in boston, where the search is being co—ordinated. this is potentially at least the first glimmer of hope we might have and the first signs there could be signs of life aboard that vessel where five people could be trapped. what we know is coming from an official twitter account from the us coast guard. i can read what it says, it says canadian aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area as a result of the remote operated vehicles and drones deployed to the area where the noises took place.
8:02 am
the search revealed negative results. but why this is so important. we know this search does not have a lot of time left. there could be a day and a half or less of air on board. the search has taken place across a wide area the size of the state of connecticut. any clue the searches and the rescuers, where they search could be critical, especially the time restraints they have. this comes after unconfirmed reports from cnn and others saying there were banging noises 30 minutes apart on tuesday. this has been quoted as from an internal government government documents — reports again bbc news has not been able to verify. they seem to be similar so it is something to pay attention to and something that will get attention of people watching and waiting for news
8:03 am
on these missing people. where we are in boston, this is where those efforts are being coordinated. it began with the us coast guard because that area is 900 miles off the coast and very remote, but that is the responsibility of the coastguard in this area. it became clear this was going to be a bigger mission and more complicated than what they would be able to handle. so we are now seeing an international effort. there are aircraft, ships, various different bits of equipment headed to canada coming from different countries. canadian forces, french vessels on the way, american navy and coastguard involved. there is a sense that time is a factor. we have seen two press conferences in the past couple of days and we hear about all kinds of personnel being deployed. because of the remote location, 900 miles off the coast,
8:04 am
in order to get any of the relevant and important rescue and search equipment to that area, they have to start now. the types of vessels that can take heavy equipment do not move fast. unless you get off to a running start, there is little chance of being able to get to the vessel once located in enough time so that the air does not run out. that report from boston. we heard earlier from _ that report from boston. we heard earlier from chris _ that report from boston. we heard earlier from chris brown _ that report from boston. we heard earlier from chris brown on - that report from boston. we heard earlier from chris brown on the - that report from boston. we heard| earlier from chris brown on the sofa who is a friend of the british businessman who is missing in the submersible and chris said he has some optimism having heard the news about possible sound are reported and that family and friends are keeping everything crossed. the office for national statistics has released the latest inflation figures this morning. analysts were expecting a slight drop in price rises in may, compared to last year, but the rate isn't shifting.
8:05 am
ben can tell us more, he's in knutsford. you are surrounded by animals but also the reality of the inflation figures which is all around you, as well. absolutely. all eyes here with this lot on me but all eyes economy —wise on the inflation figures and we found out inflation, average price rises in may, were at 8.7% which means if you spent £100 on goods and services 12 months ago, this time around they would cost £108 70. it did not fall between april and may, which is what many expected and what the government and bank of england hoped. and what this means is the bank of england is likely to continue with its plan of raising interest rates. to put a brake on prices that are rising. the theory
8:06 am
is that it makes borrowing more expensive, people spend less, there is less demand for goods and services and prices do not keep rising which means short—term pain for people with mortgages, loans, credit cards. the chancellor was askedif credit cards. the chancellor was asked if the government might step in to help people with those rising mortgage costs. this in to help people with those rising mortgage costs-— in to help people with those rising mortgage costs. this is what he had to sa . to say. we will help families, relieve the pressure on people with mortgages, on businesses, we need to squeeze every last drop of high inflation out of the economy. if you look at other countries, you can see rises in interest rates do bring down inflation over time. that will happen here but we need to be patient and stick to the course and then we will get to the other side. we know there is enormous pressure on families with mortgages. it is a really big dealfor on families with mortgages. it is a really big deal for family finances. the one thing that would not help

those families is to step in with short—term support that meant inflation stayed higher for longer and mortgage rates stay higherfor longer. and the reason the bank is pressing ahead with its plan to raise interest rates and make borrowing more expensive is because right now, households and businesses are feeling the pressure of rising prices for so many things. the notable one from the latest figures is food inflation. it is still above the rate at which other things in the rate at which other things in the economy are rising in price. food inflation in may was at18.1t%. some items of food, cheese, milk, sugar, produce farmers bring to shows like this, is going up even more sharply than that. the pressure is really on to deal with the price rises and alleviate some of the pain

many households and businesses have. studio: thank you. eating disorders have risen significantly among teenage girls since the covid lockdowns, according to a new study published in the lancet. researchers found that the highest rises came in wealthier areas, although this may be down to girls there having better access to gps. the department for health said it's increasing the number of young people's community eating disorder services across england with up to £54 million of investment a year by march 202a. the chancellorjeremy hunt will give evidence to the covid—19 inquiry later — when he'll face questions about the uk's preparedness for a pandemic during his six years as health secretary. yesterday the inquiry heard from the former chancellor george osborne, who said the treasury had not planned for lockdowns but that spending cuts under his tenure meant the uk was better able to cope with the financial pressures of the pandemic.
8:09 am
it's going to be a long day today. is it? orare is it? or are all days the same length. it is more daylight. the sun has risen on the summer solstice, or the longest day of the year. so more daylight. these were the scenes at stonehenge at dawn. you can see people gathered around the ancient stones, which are lined up to frame the rising of the sun. the sun rose there at 4.52 and will set at 9.26, that's nearly 17 hours of daylight. beautiful pictures. beautiful. guess who told us it is not actually the longest day. who on the team do you think realises it is not really the longest day. boss. as if, bless you both. we have
8:10 am
seen gorgeous sunrises. it is a largely dry start. many seeing skylines rather like matt. we have showers towards the west. if anything, through the day it will push eastwards. the most crucial ones in scotland, england and northern ireland. the rest of england and wales, showers but fewer and further between. in glastonbury it should stay dry, and royal ascot should stay dry, just the outside chance of a shower. you are more likely to catch one in scotland where you could hear the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures 15—25. through the evening, overnight, many showers fading. areas of cloud mean you could catch the odd shower. also some fog forming. a cooler night in
8:11 am
scotland and northern ireland with an overnight low of 8—14. tomorrow, we start on a largely dry note. overnight fog clears rapidly. high pressure, whether settled. there will be fewer showers in scotland and northern ireland but we will still see some in england and wales. temperatures 15 in the north, 27 as we push down towards the south. if you are after glastonbury, you might be glad to hear that for the next days it will stay dry. the outside chance of a shower on sunday, but it is going to get warmer through the next few days and by the weekend, it will also turn more humid. thank you. an estimated 850,000 people in the uk are living with dementia —
8:12 am
and that number is likely to grow as the population ages. helping those people to live independently means training staff in shops, cafes and other public spaces to understand their needs. nina, tell us this is an issue close to her heart. you look very smart today. sometimes, the hardest bit isjust getting out of the door. shall we get a coat on? today it was me, three carers and a lot of patience. lovely. you look great. there's lovely. there's lovely, now, see? over more than an hour to get him up, clean and dressed. so do you fancy a coffee? sorry? do you fancy a coffee? thanking the coffee? what's new with you, then? things are... things are fine. honestly, you can feel tired and anxious before you've even arrived at wherever it is you're going. let me just quickly send a message.
8:13 am
what you want, what you need is to get there and feel like you can take your time, like you're not in the way. yeah, i think you had this one last time, didn't you? we've always been a family obsessed with food. sitting and sharing. and this is what we've got left of normal now. toasties, cakes, chips. and laughter — laughing at ourselves and how much we love food. yeah, let's go with that then. i might copy you. i want my dad to be able to choose his own lunch, use his own money, for as long as possible. i think that's really important. that's it, pull it away. well done. thank you. we have had some brilliant experiences. do you want some more?
8:14 am
do you want some more sugar? he'll get some for you. thank you. but we've had some horrible moments. i remember a supermarket worker rolling her eyes at us because it was taking a while at the till. and it's hurtful, it knocks your confidence. there's no concept of time, you know? it's 11 years since i was diagnosed. it just doesn't. .. itjust seems like a few months at the most. you described to me what it felt like when information is being told to you and it's not quite settling. what does that feel like? because you're aware it's happening. there used to be a comedian called norman collier and he used to have a microphone and he used to do an act as if the microphone was going off and on. so it used to go, hello,
8:15 am
ladies...gentlemen, i'll... and that's sometimes when people are talking to us, that's what it sounds like. so i don't get the message. so i always say to them, i'm sorry, i didn't quite get that. and i can't do money. because it was one of the strangest things i felt that i don't recognise that. now, we've got this new plastic money. it's not paper money now, is it? plastic. it just doesn't seem like real money. you play golf, you write music, you go out with your pals, come to cafes like this. you live well. my friend paul, who is also living with alzheimer's, you know. we help one another because when you've got someone that's got empathy with you rather than sympathy with you, it's great because we can just talk about the things we used to do. how much of a difference does it make to your confidence being out and about, when people do take their time, when they speak to you like a real
8:16 am
person, and when they don't panic when they realise that you have dementia? it's the most important thing in the world, because we want to be part of the community, we want to be part of society. when people talk to us and accept us, it gives you an uplift. get your staff trained on how to deal with people with dementia. you know, we're not monsters, we're normal human people, human beings. there's a lot of living to be done between being diagnosed and the end. so keep on living? keep on living. but does your problem with money mean you won't be able to buy me a slice of cake? my friend always says you've always had a problem with money! do you want a bit of cake? i wouldn't mind a piece. yeah, let's get some cake. what's this? 0h! that's a tackle. there are millions of us doing our very, very best to live alongside this.
8:17 am
a one, two, three. well done. and, actually, everyone can do a little bit to help make these shared spaces feel like a comfortable place to be. well done, everyone. i bet you're a brilliant big brother. every time someone engages instead of turning away, every time someone gives us the space to take our time, it helps us to feel like we still belong. thank you so much, guys, thank you. see you next time. # we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two... - and that can protect those important human connections for as long as possible. # then i go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like i love you #. emma spragg is from the alzheimer's society and the mp debbie abrahams is chair of the all—party parliamentary group on dementia. she joins us from westminster.

8:19 am
signs things were going wrong is he was not confident in places he loved. used to go out for coffee and get the paper every day and go to the same shops and he did not want to go there. i started going with him and in his local supermarket where they have known him 20 years they would discourage him from buying a certain cake because he was buying a certain cake because he was buying it every day. they took on board what was happening. his cart mechanic got in touch with me saying he is coming in once a week to get his windscreen wipers checked and we don't mind chatting but we wanted you to know. i like to get him out and about. he spends his own money, he has his independence, and that is important. and every time someone rolls their eyes, is impatient, your confidence goes like that and the bits of normality of getting out, as family, mean the world. the reason ou family, mean the world. the reason you wanted — family, mean the world. the reason you wanted to _ family, mean the world. the reason you wanted to talk _ family, mean the world. the reason you wanted to talk about _ family, mean the world. the reason you wanted to talk about this - family, mean the world. the reason you wanted to talk about this was i family, mean the world. the reason| you wanted to talk about this was to

good morning from bbc london, i'm luxmy gopal. the black teenager at the centre of the child o scandal in hackney is still traumatised by what happened, a safeguarding expert has said. the girl was searched in 2020 without an appropriate adult present after her school called in police when they wrongly believed she had cannabis on her. since the scandal and protests that followed, the number of strip searches across london has dropped by 45%, according to the met. but a new report's found there is still a lack of trust in the police and in some schools. for the school, the particular school involved, and the police in the immediate aftermath and shock of this coming to light, there was a defensiveness that was unhelpful. but now that i've gone back over the last year and looked at where we were, and where we are, i don't think you'll be surprised to hear me say that a problem that's grown over so many years hasn't been resolved overnight, or over one year.

8:33 am
now onto the weather with sara thornton. morning to you. we had some overnight rain, but most of that has cleared away now. we are starting on a dry and fairly clear note. temperatures at the moment in the mid—teens, so a warm start as well. the next few hours dry with a lot of sunshine. this afternoon some cloud bubbling up. it could bring the odd stray shower. but typically it is a much drier day than yesterday. in the best of it, averages into the mid 20s celsius. it will be warm. as we go through the night tonight, we are dry and generally clear. we could see a little bit of mist and murk into the start of things tomorrow morning. another warm start and a dry one for you tomorrow. the big picture is this. high pressure is close by and edging in at the end of the week. it generally keeps frontal systems at bay. that is not to say it will be completely dry in the next few days, but certainly a lot of dry
8:34 am
weather in the forecast. there could be some showers around tomorrow, and again potentially on friday. they could be thundery, but not so many of them around, especially into the weekend. it does turn especially warm at the weekend, into the high 20s on sunday. that's it for now — i'll have your next update on news, travel and weather in around half an hour. in the meantime, back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. just after half past eight, wednesday morning. we are watching closely developments in the atlantic because there is a very slight glimmer of hope right now in the search for that titanic submersible which has gone missing with five people on board. the us coast guard, coordinating the search, has confirmed a canadian rescue team has heard underwater noises in the area. they've deployed remotely operated search vehicles, and they're intensifying the search in that area, but so far,
8:35 am
they haven't found anything. the update followed reports in the us media reports of banging sounds, which lasted four hours, and came in 30—minute intervals. the disappearance has raised questions about the safety of the vessel. cbs journalist david pogue was one of the first people invited to board the sub, but his dive to the ocean floor was abandoned half way through, due to mechanical issues. he shared his experience with us. i was invited as a journalist to go on the sub to the titanic. so, it's a nine day adventure. you're out in the middle of north atlantic for most of that entire time. i was, first, terrified. i didn't sleep at all the first couple of nights. and then excited when i got a tour of the sub and i realised that it was designed with many redundant safety features. and then i got in and we began our dive, and we got 37 feet down and they had a mechanical problem
8:36 am
and had to cancel. inside, the sub has about as much room as a minivan. so, this is not your grandfather's submersible. we only have one button — that's it. it should be like an elevator. you know, it shouldn't take a lot of skill. i couldn't help noticing how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised. "an experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death." where do i sign? this is a very dangerous enterprise. it is marketed to adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, people with a lot of money who want to live on the edge. the kind of people who would go into space on blue origin or something. so you are given a document that outlines all the different dangers you might encounter. it is literally about eight paragraphs of prose, each one of which ends in the phrase, "and i understand this may result in permanent disability or death" over and over and over, and you have to sign it.
8:37 am
this experiment takes place in international waters, so there is no governing body that has inspected or regulated this submersible. so you really are on your own. most of the time they don't make it down there. sometimes they make it down one time out of the five, at most twice out of the five days. apparently those floats there came off the platform. and that wasn't supposed to happen. on our fourth day of trying to get down there, i wasn't on the sub, but paying passengers were. the sub did get lost on the sea floor. that is, they were in communication with the ship on the surface, but they couldn't find the titanic. there is no gps underwater. regular radio waves don't travel underwater. so those customers who paid a quarter of million dollars spent three hours in pitch darkness
8:38 am
and never found anything. titan sitting at 3,742 - metres, reports on bottom. i was terrified about getting stuck at the bottom of the sea, losing power. and i saw that there are not two back—up systems, not four — there are seven different ways to come up to the surface. there are sandbags to drop, metal pipes to drop. you can detach the legs and ditch those as weight. there's an air balloon that inflates. you can use your thrusters — all of these different ways, some of which do not require power. so even if the electricity goes out, it'll still work. even if the hydraulics go out — and one of them actually works to come back to the surface, even if everybody on board has passed out. so it's an automatic time release sandbag dropping system. and that makes me think that, no matter what happened to the titan, if they are not trapped or destroyed under the sea, that they must be on the surface
8:39 am
somewhere floating. i have doubts that oceangate will continue titanic dives after this event, even if they survive. and i think that means that's probably the end of titanic diving at all for tourists for some time. so i would imagine it will have a chilling effect on this whole industry. david pocock describing his own experiences on a titanic submersible. it isjust coming up submersible. it is just coming up to 8:40am. john is here. an incredible day of cricket yesterday. wasn't itjust. we knew it was going to be thrilling. that was the lasting image of the day. buts off to pat cummins! the australian captain under so much pressure. the travelling captain against a raucous english support.
8:40 am
and it was the captain, known for his bowling, it was his batting that guided them over the line. he had been questioned about his captaincy. now, no questions. he came up with the runs at the end. good morning. are you counting down the days until the start of the second ashes test? the good news is you don't have to wait that long with the start of the women's as is tomorrow. but after that thrilling two wicket defeat to australia, settled on the final day at edgbaston, captain ben stokes is promising more excitement. and we can relive it all now with patrick geary. wild celebrations, a wilder game. pat cummins, australia's captain, was australia's match winner, england on the wrong end of an ashes classic. you can never, you know, count australia out. you know, obviously pat has just dug in there and he has got them over the line, but in terms of the sort of output of the game in terms of what people have witnessed,
8:41 am
i think that's what we're trying to achieve as a team. the drama began on pause. rain robbed us of the morning. but at 2:15pm, this place rose to the challenge ahead. a day to say you were there, maybe. moeen ali never thought he would be. he removed travis head, having been coaxed out of test retirement. australia five down and under huge pressure. but they play classic cricket, never panicking. the target crept below 100. in this game though you're never far from the next twist. cameron green bowled by ollie robinson, england back in it. but moeen's spinning finger was proving too painful, so the captain took the ball. and ben stokes makes things happen. even on a weakened knee, gone was the dangerous usman khawaja. and so too alex carey, disappearing in a miraculous moment from joe root. england needed two wickets, australia sa runs. time to fight. pat cummins, their captain, aimed skyward, momentum shifted, the mood shifted.
8:42 am
the other batter, nathan lyon, felt emboldened. but wait, stokes was out there. had he caught it? agonisingly, no. and it was ended fittingly by the bat of captain pat. the game's final twist was in australia's direction. well, what a start to the ashes that was. two teams playing contrasting styles, constant shifts in momentum. it's australia who lead 1—0. but with a five match ashes series, there will be plenty of twists yet. patrick geary, bbc news, edgbaston. i love that sign. that boy, i am missing school for this! if you think your teacher is not watching... i think everyone was watching... i think everyone was watching yesterday. good luck explaining that one. i think a lot of people have got some explaining to do in somerset as well. definitely a lot of people trying to hide from their cameras this weekend because it is the glastonbury festival this weekend i music fans

8:46 am
and i went to 30 rounds of radiation. i was so scared, because you never know if you're going to make it. but i got through it. i hadn't really paid that much attention to the lyrics, because i hadn't been through anything that devastating. but when i got cancer, those lyrics came alive. sometimes i feel like throwing my hands up in the air... # i know i can count on you...# on my way to chemo i marched right into my own booth where they had me, and i would just lie there and be at peace, every time. i remember the first time i went to glastonbury i was shocked, because the crowds were so massive. i can't wait to get back to that stage.
8:47 am
i tell you, it is an amazing stage. i love glastonbury. # got the love, got the love...# glastonbury is many things. a kaleidoscope of characters and colours. but it's also always been very green, long before anyone was concerned about climate change. tickets! meaning this, the world's smallest solar powered mobile cinema, fits in perfectly. it's been very sunny, as everyone knows, and we can store that electricity, that solar electricity, in our leisure batteries, so we will be taking a bit of the south wales sun to glastonbury. and from an audience of eight, to potentially 90,000, this bristol windrush choir are performing on the pyramid stage ahead of eltonjohn on sunday. i got a call on a friday morning. i was asked, are you sitting down? i said, oh, goodness, yes.
8:48 am
so, sat down and i was told that we were going to perform at glastonbury, which is immensely exciting. and then a minute later i was told it's the pyramid stage. this is absolutely massive. i remember literally last year hearing allj about diana ross and all of - the amazing singers and line up at glastonbury, and thinking, i want to go, i want- to be there next year. i had no idea i would actually be there and leading the choir- and singing myself- on the pyramid stage. that'sjust really mind blowing. i know that the glastonbury crowd is going to be really buzzing because we're going to be on in the midday when the crowd is rocking. and because of reggae music, people are going to love it, so they will be jumping for joy. last year it was icon sir paul mccartney. this year it's sir eltonjohn. the festival of festivals is back. worthy farm is ready to host again.
