our headlines today... the remains of the missing titan submersible are found on the seabed — there are no survivors. as the families of the five men on board pay tribute, titanic film directorjames cameron says there needs to be more regulation in the industry. you have this great irony that now there's a wreck sitting next to the titanic wreck that's there for the same reason, because the iceberg warnings went unheeded. chancellorjeremy hunt will meet with mortgage lenders this morning as concerns grow over higher interest rates. yes, it means anyone looking to buy a property or renew their mortgage faces a steep rise in monthly cost. i have come to this estate agent in coventry to find out how it is affecting buyers and sellers as well as the rental market.
6:01 am
good morning from the london stadium, which has been transformed as major league baseball comes to the uk for only the second time. two games this weekend. many people believe the sport first started near here, baseball is coming home. a bit of rain and when the sun comes out it will feel quite humid and hot. more details coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, the 23rd ofjune. tributes are being paid to five men, who died on board the titan submersible after it imploded near the wreck of the titanic. the five—day search ended after debris was found on the sea bed. our correspondent, jessica parker, joins us now from boston, where the rescue efforts were being coordinated. let's speak to jessica now. let's speak tojessica now. good morning. we had that moment of
6:02 am
course yesterday evening uk time when the news was broken that this debris had been found and the assumption made that all five on board were killed. my apologies. as he can see, we have one or two problems with the sound from jessica, who is live from boston. let's hear the details of what happened yesterday with nomia iqbal. the odds were always very low, the hope was incredibly high. but in the end, the us coast guard confirmed there was no miracle. an rov, remote operated vehicle from the vessel of horizon arctic discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the titanic on the sea floor. pieces of the doomed submersible were found on the sea floor near to the titanic wreck. families were immediately
6:03 am
informed but the recovery of the bodies of their loved ones is near impossible. this is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor. and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. and so we will continue to work and continue to search the area down there but i don't have an answer for prospects at this time. for days, an international rescue operation worked night and day, looking for a tiny sub in the depths of the atlantic ocean before it ran out of oxygen. everything was thrown at the operation, including high—tech underwater robots from france to find the missing five men. many of the vessels involved in the search and rescue operation will now return here to stjohn�*s. earlier in the week, we saw several heading out in order to join the international hunt for the titan.
6:04 am
a few will stay in order to investigate what happened and try and find details in order to bring some closure to the family. the family of a british businessman and his son told the bbc they remain overwhelmed with the love and support they received and are grateful to those who showcased the best in humanity. the family of hamish harding said he was a dedicated father of two and a living legend. also on—board was a veteran french diver. his friend spoke to us after the tragic news was confirmed. it is really sad he has lost his life in the place where he so loved to share his experiences, exploring the titanic. it is kind of symbolic in a way that this was where he

6:07 am
the sound of some sort of sound, acoustic sound that was potentially like that of an implosion around the time that contact was lost on sunday between the titan submersible and its mothership and that that information had been passed on to the coastguard. it was the first we heard of it earlier on today. what is being suggested as they could not be exactly sure what the sound was. we have now obviously learned a catastrophic event took place. over the course of the week what we were hearing were that they were carrying out a search and rescue in full search and rescue mode. there was a lot of discussion around the potential oxygen levels that might be on board the vessel. what we have learned today clearly is sadly all five men on board have been lost. no questions as well about the safety of the vessel. we don't know exactly what has happened and potentially an
6:08 am
investigation will take place although this is quite an unprecedented situation. it is not clear what that situation might look like. safety concerns about the titan submersible had been raised in the past. titan submersible had been raised in the ast. . ~ i. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is meeting with mortgage lenders this morning as concerns grow over high interest rates. it comes after the bank of england raised rates to 5% — the highest level in 15 years. our cost of living correspondent colletta smith reports. interest rates are on the up again, and the ripple effect is already being felt. i have actuallyjust bought a house last month, so, yeah, it affected us quite a lot. i've had a house before at a lower rate, obviously, so it is... it's, like, doubled per month now. so, yeah, it's a lot of money. it's the unknown of what's going to happen — if it's going to go up or if it's going to go down. and if we've made the right decision to fix for five years, or should we have maybe fixed for three years in hope that it's going to go lower? who knows?
6:09 am
the higher rate should deliver a bit more cash into the accounts of savers, but will bring bigger bills for some homeowners and pressure to the rental market, and impact other loans, too. to get to work, we've got cars and stuff to pay for, as well. and on top of that, there's gas bills, electric bills, and...it�*s just too hard. interest rates have been increased to 5%, which has pushed average two—year fixed mortgage rates up to 6.15%. the bank of england say the increase is needed to help calm price rises on everything else, getting inflation down to their target rate of 2%. but it'll bring a huge shock for hundreds of thousands of households remortgaging in the next few months. if you're worried about being able to make your mortgage payments, then speak to your lender — they may be able to reduce your payments or give you a mortgage holiday. there are pros and cons of all of these things, so do talk to an expert — but you may be able to extend the term of your mortgage, or even go on an interest—only mortgage for a little while.
6:10 am
it might help you make the payments in the short term. with a fixed—rate deal coming to an end next year, angela's already working out how she's going to afford it. if i got to the point that i thought i can't afford it, i'd have to speak to the mortgage company and say, "what can i do?" but you know that, even if they give you grace for x amount of time, you've still got to pay it back. so...yeah, it's a worry for people. i can't downsize any smaller unless i lived in a shoe box. as the chancellor meets lenders later, it's hoped they might be able to do more to ease that squeeze. colletta smith, bbc news, in castleford. we can speak now to our political correspondent, ione wells, who's in downing street. we know the meeting is happening. the chancellor and rishi sunak has made clear that the banks, as the bank of england is but commercial banks are independent. they don't want to interfere with business but they do want them to listen. that is
6:11 am
ri . ht. the they do want them to listen. that is right. the chancellor _ they do want them to listen. that is right. the chancellor in _ they do want them to listen. that is right. the chancellor in a _ they do want them to listen. that is right. the chancellor in a couple - they do want them to listen. that is right. the chancellor in a couple of| right. the chancellor in a couple of hours has been meeting some bosses from banks here in downing street. this is essentially following a meeting that happened back in december where it was agreed that mortgage providers would do whatever they could essentially to help people who might be at risk of not being able to meet some of their mortgage repayments. today is really about the chancellor checking in with them to ensure they are meeting those commitments. there are a couple of things mortgage lenders can do like helping people to move to a longer repayment period for their mortgage or helping people move on to an interest only deal or even allowing people to get more support without it affecting their credit rating and ability to borrow money in the future. what we are not expecting today is any other sort of big announcement. both the government and labour have been pretty clear they don't want to start offering hand—outs or direct
6:12 am
support payments to people, despite lib dems for example calling for grants to some of the lower income households. the fear from grants to some of the lower income households. the fearfrom government is that could risk putting up inflation further when the strategy really is, backing the bank's decision to put interest rates up and make things feel slightly more affordable with the theory being push demand for goods down and potentially prices as well.- potentially prices as well. thank ou. around i4,000 people did not vote after being unable to show an acceptable form of photo id during england's local elections. the electoral commission said it's likely more people didn't turn up because of the new voter identification policy. last month's elections were the first time voters were required to show id before collecting their ballot paper. a growing number of councils are removing "pay and display" parking machines and asking people to pay using an app instead. a survey by the rac revealed millions are, or will soon be,
6:13 am
forced to use their phones to pay for parking. olivia hutchinson has more. if you drive a car, have a think about the last time you paid for parking with cash. according to the rac, nearly a fifth of drivers say their local authority has either scrapped parking payment machines altogether or is consulting on doing so. that would leave the only option of paying via a mobile phone. this is the move sadly that's come about from the fact that a lot of these machines are actually pretty old technology these days. councils face huge sums to actually upgrade them and, in many cases, councils, rather than paying that money are deciding to switch to third party mobile apps instead. and i think that is going to potentially create a bit of a problem for a certain chunk of drivers in this country, who simply don't use phones or don't like using phones to pay for parking. there are a range of different parking apps that are used by councils. motorists often have to download them and are charged an additional fee to use the service. the rac says many parking operators are getting rid of older machines that process card payments by 3g
6:14 am
mobile signals because those masts are being switched off. there are concerns, though, that requiring drivers to use a mobile app or call a phone number is particularly difficult for some elderly or vulnerable people, putting them at risk of being fined for non—payment. i don't often use car parks — this is the only one i use. so if i'm having now to start... a different car park i go to, i'm not au fait with it, so it's a little bit worrying that i've got to start using apps now. i wouldn't know how to start to download the app, so i would probablyjust go home. i've just used the app and it's not recognised the site of 17788. - so i'm forced to have to go and find another car park. i in april, the community secretary, michael gove, wrote to councils expressing concern about drivers being digitally excluded through a lack of alternative
6:15 am
payment methods. the local government association says councils are working with government and parking operators to streamline the number of apps needed to make payments to make the process as simple as possible for drivers. olivia hutchinson, bbc news. is this something that's been happening where you live? let us know. there's a new way to contact us at bbc breakfast. you can now send us a message on whatsapp — the number is 0330123 0440 — orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by e—mail, and on twitter as well. all very well as putting that,
6:16 am
precisely the point that some people don't have access to download the whatsapp will scan something. that is the point of the whole story. i said about six weeks ago, send a letter. i like receiving letters. last time we did this, quite a few came in. did they? they did. quite a few people wrote in saying how nice to hear you can still write a letter and quite a few came in. charlie will respond personally. i6 and quite a few came in. charlie will respond personally. 16 minutes past six is the time. earlier this week, football legend graeme souness completed a 21—mile relay swim across the english channel — all inspired by a 14—year—old girl named isla. isla has the rare skin disease called eb and she's now been recognised with a pride of scotland teenager of courage award for her bravery. speaking at the event, graeme said isla was the most impressive human being he'd ever met
6:17 am
in 70 years. that is an accolade for anyone to say about anyone, most impressive human being. now the weather with matt. good morning. i have been enjoying the sunshine, as has charlie. is it peak sunrise time? is there such a thing? b. peak sunrise time? is there such a thin ? �* , ., peak sunrise time? is there such a thin? �* , ., _, peak sunrise time? is there such a thin? , ., ., ., ~ thing? a bit more cloud around. a bi blow. thing? a bit more cloud around. a big blow a _ thing? a bit more cloud around. a big blow a glaze _ thing? a bit more cloud around. a big blow. a glaze is _ thing? a bit more cloud around. a big blow. a glaze is the _ thing? a bit more cloud around. a big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i l big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think- shall _ big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. shall we _ big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. shall we get _ big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. shall we get on _ big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. shall we get on with - big blow. a glaze is the phrase, i think. shall we get on with the i think. shall we get on with the forecast? _ think. shall we get on with the forecast? a — think. shall we get on with the forecast? a beautiful- think. shall we get on with the forecast? a beautiful sunrise l think. shall we get on with the| forecast? a beautiful sunrise in think. shall we get on with the - forecast? a beautiful sunrise in the east. a bit of mist and fog around in the east. when the sun is out another hot day. humidity levels rising over the next 2a hours. a lot

6:20 am
take things too far? gaby has been a door supervisor for nearly four decades. a punch by a customer on shift left him hospitalised. he was diagnosed with post—concussion syndrome, a mild traumatic brain injury with symptoms including anxiety and memory loss. it's left him unable to work. what has the emotional and mental impact of this been? you look at yourself, how did this happen to me? why is it happening to me? um, but...again, itold you, my brain phases out here in there, so can you just ask me the question again? i can see that you are a bit emotional. yeah. it is emotional. you don't expect to be assaulted at work. i'm frightened that i might get punched again. and, you know, i don't...
6:21 am
i don't want to die. i don't want to die at work. and gary's not alone. 20—year—old olivia has worked at some of nottingham's busiest venues for almost a year and has faced sexual harassment from the onset. a lot of groping, people trying to put their hand down my trousers. they say things like, "i will find you," and they say, "i will kill you, like." and there have been times where they've told me that they will rape me. that's not unusual for that to happen. if it's been you, the target of the abuse, you've got it going through your head of, "are they going to come back for me?" door supervisors are employed by private agencies, but licensed and regulated by the security industry authority. part of our role, a bit more practically to help security officers, is the training that we set the standards for. what we want to see, in the same way as security officers and venues do, is an appropriate
6:22 am
punishment for the offence that's been committed. industry bodies are calling for the security industry authority and the home office to introduce legislation to protect door supervisors like ronald from nottingham, who has faced racist abuse throughout his career. when is a black person seen to be in a position of authority? it's not like you get called the n—word, you get called a monkey. i replay things over and i think, "do i want to stay in this any longer and subject to this when it does happen?" i question. with summer in full swing, and more people flocking to festivals, events and nightclubs across the uk, many door supervisors are increasingly fearful about the levels of abuse they are forced to confront. i see us as the fourth emergency service. we are there before the ambulance service. the police service. we are the first persons on scene.
6:23 am
we sign up for helping you when you're sick. when somebody's attacked, you and you need help, i don't go out of my way to kick you out of a club if you're having a good time. it's only if it's necessary. and i don't want it to be necessary. so be good people when you go to my club, 0k? we will be talking about this later on. ashley john—ba ptiste reporting. we will be talking about this in the next hour. communities in southern ukraine are struggling with what 5 become a humanitarian and environmental disaster — more than two weeks after a major dam was destroyed, causing devestating damage across the region. those above the dam are suffering chronic water shortages, while those below, in the city of kherson, are cleaning out what 5 left of their homes. andrew harding reports. a boat beached on the roadside. plenty of puddles and, in places, more than puddles.
6:24 am
"how can i live in this?" asks 72—year—old anna. but the worst of the flooding is now over here in kherson — a frontline city still targeted daily by russian artillery. somebody has helpfully marked the high water point on this building. and you can see over here on the garage door, the lines where the floodwaters have slowly receded from this area. but there's mud everywhere. retired teachers irina and yevgeny clear through the wreckage of their musty, waterlogged home. "we're like rats," says irina. "we've endured so many disasters the shelling, the flood, it's as if we've become immune to it all." flood rescue workers suddenly race for cover as russian guns
6:25 am
start up again. but many civilians here refuse to be driven out of kherson. it's a defiance, a resilience that only seems to have grown since the events of the 6th ofjune. that was the day suspected of russian sabotage destroyed this nearby kakhovka dam, releasing a deluge of water downstream. but what about upstream? here that same dam's collapse has emptied out the largest body of fresh water in ukraine. this giant reservoir contained 18 cubic kilometres of water. if it helps, try picturing one giant paddling pool the size of england and all that water has abruptly vanished. and the impact on wildlife here
6:26 am
and on humans has been catastrophic. the nearby towns have all run out of water. half a million people suddenly relying on emergency supplies. "what do you think it's like carrying water like a donkey?" asks yuliya. "it's scary," says nina. "and the future is even scarier." and yet life rumbles on here. many local men have left to fight the russians, but ivan and his uncle, also ivan, are still working the fields. "there are no polite words for what the russians have done here to our environment," both men agree. and there's something else troubling them. across the floor of the empty reservoir, russian troops are in control

of europe's largest nuclear plant. it feels closer than ever now, its future uncertain, too. another worry on this muddy, unpredictable frontline. andrew harding, bbc news, ukraine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. parents whose children have died as a consequence of online harms have won an important step in getting tech companies to give them access to their children's data. the government has agreed to support the amendments designed to force tech firms to hand over relevant data around the circumstances of a child's death, like what they had been viewing online. ian russell's14 year—old daughter molly took her own life in 2017.
6:28 am
the first major concession that the government has really given in this whole process as the bill passes its way through parliament was to make access to data when a tragedy happens much easier for bereaved families and the coroners who may be looking into the death of their loved one at an inquest, which is absolutely vital if we're to learn lessons. the rmt rail union has announced another three days of strike action next month in its ongoing dispute about pay and conditions. thousands of workers from 1a train companies will walk out on the 20th, 22nd, and 29th ofjuly. unions are pushing for more pay as the cost of living rises rapidly, but rail firms have said they will not pay more without concessions on conditions. glastonbury kicks off this evening, with one of afrobeats'

biggest names wizkid taking to the stage. the popstar�*s been visiting tottenham stadium ahead of his landmark gig at the venue next month, and says he's always felt at home here in the capital. london was, like, the first place i ever played, like, my first big international gig. so london has always been down with the afrobeats wave from early. you know, we africans, we're very persuasive with our culture, our ways of life, and our music, so of course people were bound to gravitate towards that. let's take a look at the tubes now. there are severe delays on the district line and the picadilly line is part suspended — hammersmith and acton town westbound only. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. temperatures will be rising again this weekend. it could feel quite hot by the time we get to sunday in particular, and the humidity levels will also rise. so may be rather uncomfortable for sleeping. this morning, it's a fairly warm start to the day yet again. there will be plenty of sunshine around today,
6:30 am
but also a bit more cloud than many of us saw yesterday. and that high cloud will be turning the sunshine hazy at times, but high pressure is set to keep us dry. temperatures will peak in the mid 20s in celsius, just a little more cloud around than yesterday. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high. now, with that more humid feeling air, it will feel more uncomfortable to go to sleep in overnight tonight. we'll keep the clear skies, though. few areas of cloud developing into saturday morning. and this is how a start off the day on saturday, on a rather warm note. more cloud around again on saturday, but plenty of sunshine developing through the afternoon. by the time we get to sunday, it's looking largely dry during the day. we could see a few showers maybe in the evening. head to our website to read some of the personal stories of the windrush generation on the 75th anniversary of the boats' arrival. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been hearing this morning, the search for the missing titan
6:31 am
submersible in the atlantic ocean is over, with all five passengers on board confirmed to have died. it's after debris was found on thursday that us coast guard officials said were the result of a "catastrophic implosion." five major parts of the sub — including the tail cone — were found around 1,600 feet away from the bow of the titanic wreck. the site is 3,800 metres below the surface, on the seabed, which is in complete darkness. at that pressure and depth, there would have been an instantaneous implosion. experts say it's likely that it was when communication was lost an hour and 45 minutes after its descent. some concerns had already been raised about the vessel's safety. firstly, the titan's design was unusual — the hull on most deep—sea subs are spherical, but this was tube—shaped to fit five passengers in. the material used for the hull was also
6:32 am
different from others, being made from carbon fibre. questions have been raised about its reliability under extreme pressures. it had not been through any external independent certification process. a co—founder of the company ocean gate, the firm behind the dive, defended how the sub was built. everyone has different opinions on how subs should be designed, how expeditions should be conducted. that being said, developing innovations in any new technology, including submersibles, means that sometimes you have to go outside of the bounds of the regulatory scheme. we'rejoined now by dr simon boxall, a senior lecturer in oceanography at the university of southampton. very good morning to you. with the benefit of your expertise, piecing together those bits of information
6:33 am
us laypeople have been listening to and trying to take on board, what is the picture you can paint for us of what you think happened? t the picture you can paint for us of what you think happened?- what you think happened? i think a lot of people _ what you think happened? i think a lot of people feared _ what you think happened? i think a lot of people feared that _ what you think happened? i think a lot of people feared that the - lot of people feared that the submersible had imploded fairly early on in the search, but at that stage, it was a search and rescue, and one had to err on the side of caution in the hope we may find people alive in the submersible at some stage. what is interesting is that the us navy have released a confidential report, certain parts of that report saying they did hear a p0p of that report saying they did hear a pop on the list and stations, which would have actually coincided with the loss of communication of the support vessel early in the voyager —— on their listening stations. that was inconclusive, and they did not want to change the search pattern, so the hull
6:34 am
obviously had a massive breach that caused an implosion, it would have been instantaneous, the people inside would have never known what happened, and that would have then scattered debris over the sea floor. we have to assume that they were alive, it had not imploded, and that it had drifted with the currents, and that is why research was so varied varied in its area. the sound he referenced _ varied varied in its area. the sound he referenced a _ varied varied in its area. the sound he referenced a moment _ varied varied in its area. the sound he referenced a moment ago, - varied varied in its area. the sound he referenced a moment ago, telll varied varied in its area. the sound i he referenced a moment ago, tell me a little bit more about that, because it has been cold an acoustic anomaly. that is a technical phrase, just explain that a bit for us. soundin just explain that a bit for us. sound in the ocean can travel a long way. we can detect sounds, certainly sounds like an implosion of a submersible come up to 1000 kilometres away. you need very special listening stations, trying to separate out the sound from the background noise is difficult, but i do not think people realise how far
6:35 am
sound can travel. it does not mean a huge amount of energy to transmit sound 100 kilometres. wales and dolphins use sounds and clicks to communicate, and sound travels five times the speed of the sound in air, in water, such i was about 1500 metres per second. and it means we can actually detect and pinpoint sometimes noises that come into the ocean. the problem is there's a lot of background noise. the other problem is we have not done a full analysis on this, and it was this single top, if you like, the best way of describing it. so the us navy were perhaps unwilling to divulge too much information as part of the anti—submarine warfare system, but more importantly, they did not want to hinder the search for the possibility that the pop did not come from the sub. you possibility that the pop did not come from the sub.— possibility that the pop did not come from the sub. ., ._ ., ., come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago — come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago the _ come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago the voice _ come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago the voice of— come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago the voice of one - come from the sub. you may have had a moment ago the voice of one of - a moment ago the voice of one of those involved in building this craft, and there's discussion about

how safe it was, you have probably seen that james how safe it was, you have probably seen thatjames cameron has got involved in that discussion as well, with his knowledge of some of those crafts, saying that they should be running through every possible scenario in their minds to build good vehicles. this vehicle was a bad idea. the places of these submersibles are going are extremely dangerous. what do you make of the discussion now about how you make sure vehicles that are doing that are regulated and safe?- sure vehicles that are doing that are regulated and safe? there are two thins are regulated and safe? there are two things here. _ are regulated and safe? there are two things here. we _ are regulated and safe? there are two things here. we have - are regulated and safe? there are two things here. we have seen i are regulated and safe? there are two things here. we have seen anj two things here. we have seen an increase in extreme tourism, people wanted to go down to places like the titanic in dc submersibles, we have seen people buying tickets to go up into space. this is the sort of extreme tourism coming in, and one of the problems that when it comes the melatonin side, they were operating in international waters, they do not come under any one
6:37 am
particular country's rules and regulations. there are rules, the un committee on the ocean, covering things like fishing, mineral rights, but it covers certain aspects, so it is unregulated, pretty much. if i wanted to... we have seen how they can do an awful lot in terms of exploring our deep ocean, but we have to go through incredible stringent safety checks and certifications before we use anything. the problem is this particular vessel does not really come under any one's jurisdiction.
6:38 am
doctor simon boxall, thank you very much for your time. the time now is 6.38. as we've been hearing this morning. the chancellor will meet with mortgage providers later to ask what they're doing to help customers with rising costs, after the bank of england raised the interest rate to its highest level for 15 years. ben's at an estate agents in coventry looking into this for us. yes, this is walmsley�*s estate agents in the city of coventry. it's a good place to come to get a sense of what's happening to the housing market.
6:39 am
rising interest rates make a mortgage more expensive. the bank of england has now raised interest rates to 5%. the highest for 15 years. it's the 13th rate rise in a row, and it's an attempt to control the rising prices we're all experiencing at the moment. the impact on you will depend on your circumstances, but those on a typical tracker mortgage face an immediate increase of £47 a month — that's on top of the increases from the previous rate rises. those on standard variable deals face a £30 increase. 8 out of 10 mortgage customers hold a fixed—rate mortgage, so their monthly payments may not change immediately, but house buyers or anyone seeking to remortgage face a sharp rise
6:40 am
in repayments when they move on to a new deal. a typical two—year fixed deal is now above 6%, so a £250,000 mortgage over 25 years will cost almost £400 more per month than it did two years ago. in a moment, we'll hear about the impact on customers at this estate agents in coventry. first, we've been speaking to people in leeds about what it will mean for them. it is frightening because we do not seem to have any... we are not been told whether this is good to be long—term, is it going to get higher? long-term, is it going to get hither? ~ , long-term, is it going to get hither? g ., ., , ., , long-term, is it going to get hither? g ., ., , :::: higher? my mortgage is going up £400 next month. and _ higher? my mortgage is going up £400 next month. and obviously _ higher? my mortgage is going up £400 next month. and obviously it _ higher? my mortgage is going up £400 next month. and obviously it has - next month. and obviously it has gone _ next month. and obviously it has gone up — next month. and obviously it has gone up against and silenced mine a couple _ gone up against and silenced mine a couple of— gone up against and silenced mine a couple of months ago. so it is not great, _ couple of months ago. so it is not great, going to have a big detrimental effect on everything with the — detrimental effect on everything with the cost of living as well. my
6:41 am
arents with the cost of living as well. parents first with the cost of living as well. ti parents first bought their house, bought it 450 grand. she was head—butted for 50 grand. ——bought it for 50 grand. the rate at which house prices are going up compared to wages, it is not comparable at all, so it is just going to get harder and harderfor the younger generation to put a mortgage down. that is the impact on people in leeds, let's find out how it is affecting people in coventry. mark is the founder and owner of this estate agent. the rise in interest rates, how much impact is having on the buyers and sellers for properties here?- the buyers and sellers for properties here? well, it is obvious. — properties here? well, it is obvious, and _ properties here? well, it is obvious, and it _ properties here? well, it is obvious, and it is _ properties here? well, it is obvious, and it is a - properties here? well, it is| obvious, and it is a dramatic impact. look at last year and how many buyers there were in the market, it was a real bunfight to try to get a property, lots of
6:42 am
people after the same ones. now our goal is to attract a good buyout with a decent sized deposit, where it is going to go through, and it is a long process now. it is a drawn—out process, everything we do has to be spot on, we have to treat the clients and customers almost as one to try to make everything happen. it is not an easy marketplace. deals are happening, properties are being sold, there are buyers out there but they are very serious buyers, and maybe if you are a buyer right now you can afford to do it, it is not a bad time to do it, because you're not in so much competition. but you need to have the funds to do it.— the funds to do it. thank you very much. the funds to do it. thank you very much- ltut — the funds to do it. thank you very much. but not _ the funds to do it. thank you very much. but notjust _ the funds to do it. thank you very much. but notjust buyers - the funds to do it. thank you very much. but notjust buyers and - much. but notjust buyers and sellers affected, it is affecting the rental market as well. steve is a landlord, you have a couple of properties that are your retirement income, you have invested your pension in it. why are you increasing rent for tenants? i have felt the squeeze _ increasing rent for tenants? i have felt the squeeze on _ increasing rent for tenants? i have felt the squeeze on both _ increasing rent for tenants? i have felt the squeeze on both ends, - increasing rent for tenants? i have felt the squeeze on both ends, i i felt the squeeze on both ends, i have _ felt the squeeze on both ends, i have felt— felt the squeeze on both ends, i have felt the government have reduced — have felt the government have reduced tax relief on interest

6:44 am
under way at 8.00 when chancellor jeremy hunt will be meeting with the banks talk about what the strategy will be for mortgage payers. the time is 6.44. now the sport. good morning, iam good morning, i am at the london stadium in the dugout, a huge dugout for the chicago cubs players. there will be 40 of them here later for practice and of the next couple of days for the actual games against the st louis cardinals. only the second time major league baseball has come to the uk as they try to spread the popularity of the sport, which a lot of people think began in the uk. there is the pitchers mound, over that you have the home plate by the battles will try to hit a big home run into the stands. in a moment, i will take you into the clubhouse, where the players get

this morning some heavier burst of rain through northern ireland, the rain through northern ireland, the rain started to put across the irish sea. slowly and steadily, heavier burst pushing on and off, then the cloud starts to lower, turning drizzly and grey in the west. sunniest conditions towards the channel islands, another hot day here, temperatures down elsewhere, but a very humid feel, even though we have more breeze, it is going to be a very muggy night. temperatures mid—teens at the lowest, some will be in the upper teens as they start saturday morning. a cold start to your weekend, a bright start through some eastern areas but lots of cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle to begin with in the west. a few showers dotted around during the day, but if anything the cloud makes up day, but if anything the cloud makes up more into saturday afternoon and

and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. parents, whose children have died as a consequence of online harms, have won an important step in getting tech companies to give them access to their children's data. the government has agreed to support the amendments designed to force tech firms to hand over information around the circumstances of a child 5 death, like what they had been viewing online. ian russell's14—year—old daughter molly took her own life in 2017. the first major concession that the government has really given in this whole process as the bill passes its way through parliament was to make access to data when a tragedy happens much easier for bereaved families and the coroners who may be looking into the death of their loved one at an inquest, which is absolutely vital if we're to learn lessons. the rmt rail union has
7:00 am
announced another three days of strike action next month — in its ongoing dispute about pay and conditions. thousands of workers from 14 train companies will walk out on the 20th, 22nd and 29th ofjuly. unions are pushing for more pay as the cost of living rises rapidly, but rail firms have said they will not pay more without concessions on conditions. glastonbury kicks off this evening, with one of afrobeats biggest names wizkid taking to the stage. the popstar 5 been visiting tottenham stadium ahead of his landmark gig at the venue next month, and says he 5 always felt at home here in the capital. london was, like, the first place i ever played, like, my first big international gig. so london has always been down with the afrobeats wave from early. you know, we africans, we're very persuasive with our culture, our ways of life, and our music, so of course people were bound to gravitate towards that. let's take a look at the tubes now.
7:01 am
now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. temperatures will be rising again this weekend. it could feel quite hot by the time we get to sunday in particular, and the humidity levels will also rise. so may be rather uncomfortable for sleeping. this morning, it's a fairly warm start to the day yet again. there will be plenty of sunshine around today, but also a bit more cloud than many of us saw yesterday. and that high cloud will be turning the sunshine hazy at times, but high pressure is set to keep us dry. temperatures will peak in the mid 20s in celsius, just a little more cloud around than yesterday. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high. now, with that more humid feeling air, it will feel more uncomfortable to go to sleep in overnight tonight. we'll keep the clear skies, though. few areas of cloud developing into saturday morning. and this is how a start off the day on saturday, on a rather warm note. more cloud around again on saturday,
7:02 am
but plenty of sunshine developing through the afternoon. by the time we get to sunday, it's looking largely dry during the day. we could see a few showers maybe in the evening. that�*s it — riz is on radio london from 7 o clock— she'll be talking to the retiring dean of southwark and taking calls on councils replacing pay and display parking with apps. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... the remains of the missing titan submersible are found on the seabed — there are no survivors. as the families of the five men on board pay tribute, titanic film directorjames cameron says there needs to be more regulation in the industry. you have this great irony that now there's a wreck sitting next to the titanic wreck that's there for the same reason, because the iceberg warnings went unheeded. chancellorjeremy hunt
7:03 am
will meet with mortgage lenders this morning as concerns grow over higher interest rates. good morning from the london stadium, which has been transformed as major league baseball comes to the uk for only the second time. with two games this weekend and where many people believe the sport first started, baseball is coming home bit of rain to the north and west. in the sunshine it will feel hot and humid. it's friday the 23rd june. our main story. tributes are being paid to five men who died on board the titan submersible — after it imploded near the wreck of the titanic. the five—day search ended after debris was found on the sea bed. our north america correspondent,
7:04 am
nomia iqbal reports the odds were always very low, the hope was incredibly high. but in the end, the us coast guard confirmed there was no miracle. an rov, remote operated vehicle, from the vessel of horizon arctic discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the titanic on the sea floor. pieces of the doomed submersible were found on the sea floor near to the titanic wreck. families were immediately informed but the recovery of the bodies of their loved ones is near impossible. this is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor. and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. and so we will continue to work and continue to search the area down there but i don't have an answer
7:05 am
for prospects at this time. for days, an international rescue operation worked night and day, looking for a tiny sub in the depths of the atlantic ocean before it ran out of oxygen. everything was thrown at the operation, including high—tech underwater robots from france to find the missing five men. many of the vessels involved in the search and rescue operation will now return here to stjohn's. earlier in the week, we saw several heading out in order to join the international hunt for the titan. a few will stay in order to investigate what happened and try and find details in order to bring some closure to the families. the family of british businessman shahzada dawood and his son, 19—year—old suleman, told the bbc they remain overwhelmed with the love and support they've received and are grateful to those who showcased
7:06 am
the best in humanity. the family of british explorer hamish harding said he was a dedicated father of two and a living legend. also on—board was veteran french diver paul—henri nargeolet. his friend spoke to us after the tragic news was confirmed. you know, it's really sad that he's lost his life in the place where he so loved to share, you know, his experiences with exploring the titanic. so it's kind of symbolic in a way that this was where he passed. and the american captain also perished — stockton rush, whose firm ran the expedition. but questions are being asked about the uncertified vessel's safety. this is footage of the submersible from last year. there is limited air supply, passengers are bolted from the outside and communications were temporarily lost.
7:07 am
the man who directed hollywood movie titanic said he always feared the worst. the comms were lost and navigation was lost. and i said, instantly, you can't lose comms and navigation together without an extreme catastrophic event — a highly energetic catastrophic event. the first thing that popped to mind was an implosion, so i felt in my bones what had happened. the community, our community of deep ocean engineers spoke out against it, quite loudly, and the warnings were unheeded. this voyage is one of many treacherous high—end tourism options for those with the money and desire to do it but it comes with extreme risks, especially in the crushing depths of the ocean and at a site that is once again known for maritime tragedy. nomia iqbal, bbc news, stjohn's in newfoundland.
7:08 am
jessica parkerjoins us now from boston where the rescue efforts were being coordinated. so much information is coming out now. one of the insightful pieces we had led the us navy heard a sound consistent with an implosion around the time it is thought the submersible lost contact. shah submersible lost contact. an acoustic submersible lost contact. jim acoustic anomaly, we have submersible lost contact. jift acoustic anomaly, we have heard from an navy official. it will emerge this afternoon, local time, after the press conference the coastguard held when they revealed they found debris not far from the titanic wreck site. what we understand about this acoustic anomaly, the navy heard this around the time contact was lost between the titan submersible and its mother ship. they passed that information onto the coastguard but it was not necessarily certain as to what it
7:09 am
suggested all spell doubtful they continued the search and rescue operation. it is not clear why that information was not actually made public. what then proceeded to happen was a huge five days search and rescue operation, pulling in resources from the navy, the coastguard, commercial vessels as well. there was really that hope that against the odds may be those men could be rescued. sadly, of course, that hasn't been the case. we heard today all five men have been lost after this catastrophic implosion. we have not had details at the moment but there will be some kind of investigation to try to find out exactly what happened. thank you ve much. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is meeting with mortgage lenders this morning as concerns grow over higher interest rates. it comes after the bank of england raised rates to 5% — the highest level in 15 years.
7:10 am
our cost of living correspondent colletta smith reports. interest rates are on the up again, and the ripple effect is already being felt. i have actuallyjust bought a house last month, so, yeah, it affected us quite a lot. i've had a house before at a lower rate, obviously, so it is... it's, like, doubled per month now. so, yeah, it's a lot of money. it's the unknown of what's going to happen — if it's going to go up or if it's going to go down. and if we've made the right decision to fix for five years, or should we have maybe fixed for three years in hope that it's going to go lower? who knows? the higher rate should deliver a bit more cash into the accounts of savers, but will bring bigger bills for some homeowners and pressure to the rental market, and impact other loans, too. to get to work, we've got cars and stuff to pay for, as well. and on top of that, there's gas bills, electric bills, and...it�*s just too hard. interest rates have been increased to 5%, which has pushed average two—year fixed mortgage rates up to 6.15%.
7:11 am
—— the bank of england say the increase is needed to help calm price rises on everything else, getting inflation down to their target rate of 2%. but it'll bring a huge shock for hundreds of thousands of households remortgaging in the next few months. if you're worried about being able to make your mortgage payments, then speak to your lender — they may be able to reduce your payments or give you a mortgage holiday. there are pros and cons of all of these things, so do talk to an expert — but you may be able to extend the term of your mortgage, or even go on an interest—only mortgage for a little while. it might help you make the payments in the short term. with a fixed—rate deal coming to an end next year, angela's already working out how she's going to afford it. if i got to the point that i thought i can't afford it, i'd have to speak to the mortgage company and say, "what can i do?" but you know that, even if they give you grace for x amount of time, you've still got to pay it back. so...yeah, it's a worry for people. i can't downsize any smaller unless i lived in a shoe box. as the chancellor meets lenders later, it's hoped they might be able to do more to ease that squeeze. colletta smith, bbc
7:12 am
news, in castleford. we can speak now to our political correspondent, ione wells, who's in downing street. ione, good morning. some mortgage holders might be looking to the government asking what they will do to help us? today the government might be the day they ask mortgage lenders, what are you going to do for those people? that is riuht. in going to do for those people? that is right. in about _ going to do for those people? ’tngit is right. in about an hour, chancellorjeremy hunt will be meeting banks here in downing street. those providing mortgages to people. it follows a meeting they had back in december where it was agreed that mortgage providers should do what they can to help people who are struggling to meet their repayments. this is really about the chancellor checking in with them to make sure they are meeting some of those commitments. the main thing that lenders can do
7:13 am
other things like helping people to remove on to things like longer repayment periods for their mortgages or helping people to move temporarily on to move temporarily onto interest only deals if they cannot afford to pay the full repayment or allowing people to get more support without affecting a credit rating and affecting the ability to borrow more money in future. the chancellor will be checking in with the borrowers to see what they can do. we do not expect more government support. the chancellor and labour party have been clear they will not be providing any direct support or hand—outs to help people pay their mortgages. they argue this would fuel inflation further. remember the argument that is underpinning rising interest rates is that things will get more unaffordable, that if people have less ability to spend that might push the demand for goods and services down and therefore the prices as well.
7:14 am
and services down and therefore the prices as well-— around 14,000 people did not vote after being unable to show an acceptable form of photo id during england's local elections. the electoral commission said it's likely more people didn't turn up because of the new voter identification policy. last month's elections were the first time voters were reqired to show id before collecting their ballot papers. now the weather with matt. lovely in oxfordshire. a different story across _ lovely in oxfordshire. a different story across other _ lovely in oxfordshire. a different story across other parts - lovely in oxfordshire. a different story across other parts of i lovely in oxfordshire. a different story across other parts of the i story across other parts of the country. a lot cloudier than we have been used to over the past few days. the cloud in the north and west will produce rain or drizzle at times. where you have sunshine all the cloud, it will be humid. here is where the wettest conditions are at the moment. heavy rain in northern
7:15 am
ireland is enough to showery conditions. the rain is creeping towards north west wales and north—west england, also affecting the isle of man had working its way north and east on and off through the day. notice the gaps in the cloud towards the south—east, the channel islands and also shetland where sunnier spots will be today. feeling particularly hot in the south—east, 27, 28. temperatures down elsewhere. in the grey skies it will feel humid. a lot of rain and drizzle on the hills on western coast. a lot of cloud will thicken up. the old heavy burst across in northern ireland, northern england as well. rain could get very close to glastonbury, it should stay dry today. as we go through the next 24 hours, the south—east corner continues in the sunshine. tonight heavy rain across parts of scotland and for all it will be quite a muggy night by temperatures not dropping
7:16 am
much lower than the mid—teens, teens, which leads to warmer days on saturday. storm is around on sunday, particularly in the west. back to you. from applying forjobs to renting homes, people who have grown up in care say they regularly face barriers based solely on their upbringing. across the uk young people have been campaigning for a change in the law to end discrimination against them — they've been speaking to our reporter graham satchell. i remember a lot of abuse happening at home. there was a lot of drugs, a lot of alcohol, a lot of sort of 3 am random people in our lounge, smoking and drinking. and all you knew was if you went downstairs, there was going to be trouble. so you just sort of stayed upstairs
7:17 am
and hoped that, yeah, you'd be ok, basically. elle was taken into care when she was just ten. and she says ever since people havejudged her. i think the assumptions are that i'm some kind of demon child. i'm really badly educated. i am going to be in a police station. i'm going to be pregnant. i'm going to be on alcohol and drugs. i'm going to abuse my children. i mean, all of the above, really, and more. i'm just really... i'm portrayed as a bad person, but nobody knows me. hello. please press ahead when you're ready. | elle has been explaining her situation to her local council. care experience is often misunderstood. she's part of a campaign to change the perception of people who've grown up in care.
7:18 am
i have sat alone in classrooms at break times all of my life. doncaster council and heartbreaking testimony from rebecca. rebecca was also taken into care as a young girl. it's not something i asked for. it was something that happened to me. i was unseen, unheard and i felt very unloved. across the country, young people have been lobbying their local authorities. this is oldham council. good evening and thank you for hearing our motion tonight. the pictures of precious as a young girl are deceptive. her early life was chaotic. she says the stigma faced by people who've grown up in care can be unbearable. comments like, "you're smart for a kid in care," and "it's understandable with what you dealt with" make us want to pretend to be someone else. care leavers now say they want protection in law against discrimination to stop the kind of experience that faye had when she applied for a job and told them she'd been in care.
7:19 am
the reaction was immediate. the look on the interviewer's face. the temperature dropped — i knew i'd made a mistake in telling them. and i knew i was not getting thatjob. elle is meeting teri, who's leading the campaign for people who've grown up in care to have new protections in law. it would cover housing, employment, education and other services. care would be a so—called protected characteristic like gender, race and sexuality. we want to change the care system so that kids are not suffering. if there's one thing that can systemically change and reset the care system, it's understanding care experience people, and you can only get that through protected characteristics. despite being a key recommendation of last year's independent review of children's social care, the government told us they don't believe there's a consensus that making care experienced a protected characteristic would be a positive development. instead, they say they're extending corporate parenting responsibilities to all government departments. care still carries a stigma.
7:20 am
but care leavers are continuing to fight and while central government is yet to be persuaded, 31 local authorities have now changed their rules to bring in new protections. care leavers say the trauma they faced as children shouldn't determine the whole of their lives. graeme satchell, bbc news. of course are great thanks to all those people who joined of course are great thanks to all those people whojoined us of course are great thanks to all those people who joined us to tell us those stories. we are joined by care campaigner terry galloway. some of the phrases. elle said people think of you as a demon child. rebecca talked about being unseen, unloved. all those micro—expressions when you are smart for someone in care. this bias is out there but it
7:21 am
has a long—term impact. why are you so involved in campaigning? if you have had your own experiences. people are dying. people in care are 70s —— people are dying. people in care are 705 -- 70% people are dying. people in care are 70s —— 70% more likely to die. they are only in care because of neglect and abuse and trauma. the way the system is, as they leave care, that trauma is not resolved because they are butting up against a system that is not designed for them. like a dirty secret kept away and policymakers need to take note. ittrui’heh policymakers need to take note. when someone leaves _ policymakers need to take note. when someone leaves parker _ policymakers need to take note. when someone leaves parker that is it because the support is gone. you are out on your own. bit because the support is gone. you are out on your own-— out on your own. all the scaffolding ofthe out on your own. all the scaffolding of the care — out on your own. all the scaffolding of the care system _ out on your own. all the scaffolding of the care system that _ out on your own. all the scaffolding of the care system that keeps i out on your own. all the scaffolding of the care system that keeps you l of the care system that keeps you safe and protected drops away so all the predators pants. domestic

of a child 5 death, like what they had been viewing online. ian russell's14—year—old daughter molly took her own life in 2017. the first major concession that the government has really given in this whole process as the bill passes its way through parliament was to make access to data when a tragedy happens much easier for bereaved families and the coroners who may be looking into the death of their loved one at an inquest, which is absolutely vital if we're to learn lessons. the rmt rail union has announced another three days of strike action next month in its ongoing dispute about pay and conditions. thousands of workers from 14 train companies will walk out on the 20th, 22nd, and 29th ofjuly. unions are pushing for more pay as the cost of living rises rapidly, but rail firms have said they will not pay more without concessions on conditions.

a plaque to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the empire windrush's arrival at tilbury docks has been unveiled at tilbury town station. it was on the 22nd june 1948 that the ship arrived in the essex port, bringing carribean migrants to the uk. many passengers would then have taken the train for their onward journey. let's take a look at the tubes now. pretty good news, most lines are running well, just the piccadilly line which is part suspended. that is between hannah smith and acton town, and it is westbound only, elsewhere running ok —— hammersmith. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. temperatures will be rising again this weekend. it could feel quite hot by the time we get to sunday in particular, and the humidity levels will also rise. so may be rather uncomfortable for sleeping. this morning, it's
7:30 am
a fairly warm start to the day yet again. there will be plenty of sunshine around today, but also a bit more cloud than many of us saw yesterday. and that high cloud will be turning the sunshine hazy at times, but high pressure is set to keep us dry. temperatures will peak in the mid 20s in celsius, just a little more cloud around than yesterday. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels are very high. now, with that more humid feeling air, it will feel more uncomfortable to go to sleep in overnight tonight. we'll keep the clear skies, though. few areas of cloud developing into saturday morning. and this is how a start off the day on saturday, on a rather warm note. more cloud around again on saturday, but plenty of sunshine developing through the afternoon. by the time we get to sunday, it's looking largely dry during the day. we could see a few showers maybe in the evening. that's it. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with
7:31 am
charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been hearing this morning, the search for the missing titan submersible in the atlantic ocean is over, with all five passengers on board confirmed to have died. titanic film director james cameron — who has completed multiple dives to the wreck — has told the bbc there needs to be further regulation in the industry. he's been speaking to our science editor rebecca morelle. you've been down to the titanic wreck site many times. i mean, you've been even deeper. you did the first solo dive to the bottom of the mariana trench. you came out and saw my sub before i made that dive, and i took you through the whole... you even sat inside it. so you kind of know what it feels like to be inside. and that sub went to three times titanic depth, quite literally. safely, i'd like to point out. you know, when people go down to a place like titanic
7:32 am
as, let's call it a citizen explorer, right? i don't like "tourist". i think somebody that's willing to spend that kind of money and do that kind of preparation and devote weeks of their life, they're a citizen explorer. they shouldn't have to worry about the vehicle that they're in. worry about titanic because it's a dangerous site for entanglement and collapse, you could have a structural collapse on the sub and it's a very dangerous site. but understand the risks. agree to those risks. but don't be in a situation where you haven't been told about the risks of the actual platform that you're diving in. in the 21st century, there shouldn't be any risk. we've managed to make it through 60 years, from 1960 until today, 63 years without a fatality. and most people don't know this. no fatalities, no major accidents in deep submergence. there were a couple of fatalities
7:33 am
with very shallow operating subs in the late '60s. but that's longer ago than the time from the wright brothers at kitty hawk to the first 747s flying. so you can imagine there's been a lot of development in between. so, you know, one of the saddest aspects of this is how preventable it really was, you know, and that to me is the greatest heartbreak of the whole thing. well, i wanted to ask about that because, i mean, you know a lot about submersibles, having designed your own one, but safety concerns had been raised with... absolutely. and they should be raised. they should be raised, because they cut corners. they used unproven experimental technology on a sub that took passengers. and to me, that's inexcusable. and they were uncertified. and they knew that the certification process would not approve the technologies that they adopted. i think it's fine
7:34 am
to be an innovator. you know, the sub that you sat in, that we built and that i operated to the deepest place on the planet, was an experimental craft. i own it. it was not certified. it was an experimental craft, just like, you know, the mercury and gemini and apollo rockets were experimental craft. they weren't certified, but they weren't taking passengers either. you know, i think the second that you create a business model around asking people for $250,000 to take them to some place, you have to ensure their safety, you have to jump through every possible hoop and you have to listen to the consensus in the engineering community. i would submit that there's a terrible irony here. here we have, at the wreck of titanic, we now have another wreck that is based on, unfortunately, the same principles of not heeding warnings. oceangate were warned — they had people working
7:35 am
internally, apparently, that basically quit. they had... some of us, i wasn't involved directly, but there were some of us in the deep submergence community that got together and wrote a letter to them saying, "we believe that you are going on a path to catastrophe." that's a rough quote — something like that. and we all have a concern here because it will be a setback for the deep submergence community because of this, because of the, you know, the let's call it poor choices. i don't want to say reckless, but let's say poor choices that were made. we'rejoined now by dik barton, a professional diver who has visited the wreck site 22 times — along with william kohnen, chair of the manned underwater vehicles committee in los angeles.
7:36 am
welcome to the programme this morning. we will come back to some of the technical issues in just a moment. dik, ifi of the technical issues in just a moment. dik, if i could first ask you, a lot of people's thoughts first and foremost with the family and friends of those who sadly died, and friends of those who sadly died, and i know one of those was a friend of yours. and i know one of those was a friend of ours. ,., ., ., , .,, of yours. good morning. yes, he was an extraordinary _ of yours. good morning. yes, he was an extraordinary individual, - of yours. good morning. yes, he was an extraordinary individual, an i an extraordinary individual, an iconic underwater explorer. he was an amazing individual, i worked with him back in the 1990s. i think it is important to understand that what we were doing was professional underwater explanation, using purpose—built submersibles, which are designed to work at those depths. it are designed to work at those de ths. , ~ are designed to work at those de ths. , ,, ,., are designed to work at those deths. , ,, ,., .., are designed to work at those de ths, , ~' ,., .., ., depths. it feels like you could go on to say something _ depths. it feels like you could go on to say something that - depths. it feels like you could go on to say something that about | depths. it feels like you could go i on to say something that about the difference between what was happening then and what we have just witnessed.

7:38 am
are applied and dik isjust industry regulations and where they are applied and dik is just refers to the shape of the submersible, and also i think the fact that the rules, regulations, how much are adhered to and how much control there is over that, could you give some insight?— some insight? yes, this is a long and sad story. — some insight? yes, this is a long and sad story, listen _ some insight? yes, this is a long and sad story, listen to - some insight? yes, this is a long and sad story, listen to all - some insight? yes, this is a long and sad story, listen to all the i and sad story, listen to all the comments. i am the author of the letter_ comments. i am the author of the letter that— comments. i am the author of the letter that was sent to at oceangate back in _ letter that was sent to at oceangate back in 2018 saying they needed to pay more _ back in 2018 saying they needed to pay more attention to the rules. this was— pay more attention to the rules. this was clearly preventable, we do have regulations, and i think the issue _ have regulations, and i think the issue that — have regulations, and i think the issue that has to come out here as an industry. — issue that has to come out here as an industry, and we have been looking — an industry, and we have been looking submersibles here in los angeles — looking submersibles here in los angeles for 30 years, some of the best in_ angeles for 30 years, some of the best in the — angeles for 30 years, some of the best in the world. there is order in the industry. —

7:42 am
risks, but you have to try to mitigate those risks. if you ask your travel agent to send you to mount everest, they will do it, people will always take the opportunity to do something different, but it is ego driven or fascination, but it is that important aspect is fundamental. he would not do it with a rope that is not fit for purpose, it is those assets you need to maintain to do a job over time. assets you need to maintain to do a job over time-— job over time. dik, our apologies, we had one _ job over time. dik, our apologies, we had one or _ job over time. dik, our apologies, we had one or two _ job over time. dik, our apologies, we had one or two problems - job over time. dik, our apologies, we had one or two problems with | we had one or two problems with the light. thank you very much, both of you. —— with the line. the time now is 7.43. nike is going to be talking to us about that today. —— mike.

7:47 am
ticket sales, and the trent bridge crowd witnessed one of the new generations of stars shining on their debut. but of the morning session should england promise, the afternoon was all about australian dominance. one of the wealth's finest players brought up her 50. —— the world's finest players. in most of typical english weather mid afternoon seemed to energise the home side. soon after the rain delay, sophie ecclestone took two wickets in three balls, including the huge scope of the australian captain —— the english captain. formidable back up, her team mates at and frustrated england's bowlers. england will be hoping for quick wickets to see off the australia

innings when play resumes on day two, before they themselves show what they can do with the bat. just getting a few tips, and to try and hit the ball an hourfrom now, i think it is 60 feet and six inches, slightly shorter than a cricket wicket, but yeah, this is the stance, i am told, then you swing... the bat is quite heavy, actually, shall be able to get enough power and get it over the barrier will take some doing. but i headed, i will be pleased, i will be facing a former world series winner in an hour. mike, get ready! slow motion, not breaking the camera. we will see that for real next time. mike, a message from paul, be careful,
7:49 am
because if you are hitting, look after yourself. many of us have become familiar with parking up, and popping money in the meter in order to avoid a fine, but you might find those meters are becoming harder to spot. new research by the rac suggests millions of people are, or will soon be, forced to use their phones as more and more car parks introduce systems which require you to use an app or contactless payment. we're joined now by rod dennis from the rac. aptly positioned by one of those machines which caused so much frustration for so many. what is the fear of the rac has what have you found out from this research? we have found out from this research? 9 have heard that this is an increasing trend among councils, there getting rid of these machines because the technology in them is
7:50 am
sadly old and they are faced with the situation of either paying, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money on replacing them, and using apps instead. a lot of drivers use apps already under quite comfortable doing so, but i think it's important we do not forget about certain sections of the community that perhaps do not use mobile apps, do not like using them, cannot use them, and if all you're doing is trying to park your car, is a right you are faced with a plethora of different apps simply to conduct a very simple exercise? it is that social exclusion element we are concerned about here.— concerned about here. those of comments _ concerned about here. those of comments from _ concerned about here. those of comments from our _ concerned about here. those of comments from our viewers i concerned about here. those of comments from our viewers on | concerned about here. those of- comments from our viewers on this this morning. —— loads of comments. is there an obligation to be able, by councils or whoever runs the parking parks, to provide a process by which you can pay by cash? the onl thin
7:51 am
by which you can pay by cash? tt9 only thing that i have seen is actually around councils being told they must not discriminate against their residence, and i think the problem we have here as it is very hard to see this other than being discriminatory towards some people. around a fifth of drivers we spoke to felt it was discriminatory when they do not have the choice of how to pay. such a simple thing to do, is it right we are putting people through the difficulty of having to navigate apps and make sure they have not the right signal and registering a bank card and getting a password, is a right to put people through that doing something very straightforward? as i say, we have a huge amount of some of the four councils, they are faced with a difficult dilemma here, but i think putting in place reasonable alternatives for people is surely the right thing to do, and if you and we get from government as there is some expectation that councils will not discriminate, but where's the evidence? if we have councils taking these things out permanently, what other options are people being left with other than to use their mobile phone? has left with other than to use their mobile phone?— left with other than to use their mobile hone? :. , : :, mobile phone? has anybody challenge this, has mobile phone? has anybody challenge this. has anyone _ mobile phone? has anybody challenge this, has anyone gone _ mobile phone? has anybody challenge this, has anyone gone through - mobile phone? has anybody challenge this, has anyone gone through the i

7:53 am
your smartphone to pay for parking is the lack of mobile signal. so supposing you can use it. last year, this person says, while travelling around the new forest in hampshire, some of the dorset coastal towns, frequently frustrated by the lack of signal and some of the more remote areas. twice i had tojust leave an areas. twice i had tojust leave an area i wanted to visit, because we could not get a signal to make the transaction. so even if you have done it, you have done the right thing, just cannot do it, you are prevented, precluded. we will keep talking about it, thank you for giving us your experiences. he first stepped onto the screen as agent ethan hunt 27 years ago, and now tom cruise is back, with the most dangerous stunts to date in the latest mission: impossible film. last night was the star—studded london premiere of the latest instalment. our reporter michael mckenzie caught
7:54 am
up with him on the red carpet. last night, the stars were in town for the hotly anticipated uk premiere of mission: impossible dead reckoning part one, and what is rumoured to be the final chapter of super agent ethan hunt. i love bringing my movies to the big screen. i make them for this screen. and when you see mission: impossible dead reckoning, you'll know why. the mix we have, the scale of the film, this film is is reallyjust an epic, epic adventure. it's definitely bigger and more adventurous. there's you know, obviously it's a lot of practical action, but the story is very engrossing. we have an amazing cast. also reprising his role as the loyal sidekick is simon pegg, who happens to be very good friends with tom cruise. you and tom have been friends for, like, 17 years. is he like when he invites you out, it's like, let's go out to a party
7:55 am
or is he more of an afternoon tea guy? he's, you know, i mean, he's always busy, tom. that's the thing. like, he'll swing by and come and have a cup of tea and, you know. but, i mean, when we go out, when we're working, we tend to go and do something really fun, like go karting or shark diving or ziplining. but i mean, dinners, it's usually dinners. that's what it's like. a family dinner. everyone comes around, sits around the table. it'sjust a nice, quiet evening. it's obviously difficult to go out when you're tom cruise, you know, because everybody wants a piece of you. so it's usually like a little kind of nice little homely affair. making her big debut in the movie is londoner hayley atwell. hayley, what was it like getting that call to say you're going to be co—starring alongside tom cruise? well, i'd waited about a month. so that month was just kind of, someone just please tell me. just tell me either way so i can get on with my life. because the intensity of waiting was almost as intense as the actual filming of it. it's these death—defying stunts that have raised the bar yet again, with early reviews calling this mission the best yet. how did you do it? ijust do it. you know, we spend a lot of time figuring out, saying, you know, and how do we...
7:56 am
them...? i want them to feel that rush. so when you see these films, it's me driving. it's mejumping off the cliff on a motorcycle, on the train and fighting. i also train the cast to come along with us and learn how to do it. since the first mission: impossible movie was released in 1996, the franchise has grossed nearly $4 billion worldwide. now in its seventh movie, it's hoped that this action—packed film will draw people back into cinemas. it opens in uk cinemas from the 10th ofjuly. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. parents, whose children have died
7:57 am
as a consequence of online harms have won an important step in getting tech companies to give them access to their children's data. the government has agreed to support the amendments designed to force tech firms to hand over information around the circumstances of a child s death, such as what they had been viewing online. the rmt rail union has announced another three days of strike action next month in its ongoing dispute about pay and conditions. thousands of workers from 14 train companies will walk out on the 20th, 22nd and 29th ofjuly. a plaque to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the empire windrush's arrival at tilbury docks has been unveiled at tilbury town station. it was on the 22nd june 1948 that the ship arrived in the essex port, bringing carribean migrants to the uk. many passengers would then have taken the train for their onward journey. let's take a look at the tubes now. the picadilly line is part suspended hammersmith

7:59 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... the remains of the missing titan submersible are found on the seabed — there are no survivors. as the families of the five men on board pay tribute, titanic film directorjames cameron says there needs to be more regulation in the industry. you have this great irony that now there's a wreck sitting next to the titanic wreck that's there for the same reason, because the iceberg warnings went unheeded. chancellorjeremy hunt will meet with mortgage lenders this morning as concerns grow over higher interest rates. high rates means anyone buying or remortgaging faces higher monthly costs. i have come to this estate agent in coventry to find out how it is affecting sellers, buyers and the rental market as well. brute is affecting sellers, buyers and the rental market as well.— is affecting sellers, buyers and the rental market as well. we are alive at the glastonbury _

8:01 am
where the rescue efforts were being coordinated. morning to you. that information brought to us yesterday in the evening here in the uk. we know that five people sadly died. yes. evening here in the uk. we know that five people sadly died.— five people sadly died. yes, we had word from the _ five people sadly died. yes, we had word from the coastguard - five people sadly died. yes, we had word from the coastguard that i five people sadly died. yes, we had word from the coastguard that they i word from the coastguard that they had as you safe and debris on the sea bed, not farfrom had as you safe and debris on the sea bed, not far from the titanic wreckage site. this is the serb, the titan submersible, that disappeared on sunday on its descent to see the wreck. it sparked a huge international search for the five men on board. there were hopes that of course maybe they could be found and brought to safety. sadly, that has not proved to be the case as my colleague reports from newfoundland, nomia iqbal. the odds were always very low, the hope was incredibly high.
8:02 am
but in the end, the us coast guard confirmed there was no miracle. an rov, remote operated vehicle from the vessel of horizon arctic discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the titanic on the sea floor. pieces of the doomed submersible were found on the sea floor near to the titanic wreck. families were immediately informed but the recovery of the bodies of their loved ones is near impossible. this is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor. and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. and so we will continue to work and continue to search the area down there but i don't have an answer for prospects at this time. for days, an international rescue operation worked night and day, looking for a tiny sub in the depths
8:03 am
of the atlantic ocean before it ran out of oxygen. everything was thrown at the operation, including high—tech underwater robots from france to find the missing five men. many of the vessels involved in the search and rescue operation will now return here to stjohn's. earlier in the week, we saw several heading out in order to join the international hunt for the titan. a few will stay in order to investigate what happened and try and find details in order to bring some closure to the families. the family of british businessman shahzada dawood and his son, 19—year—old suleman, told the bbc they remain overwhelmed with the love and support they've received and are grateful to those who showcased the best in humanity. the family of british explorer hamish harding said he was a dedicated father of two and a living legend.
8:04 am
also on—board was veteran french diver paul—henri nargeolet. his friend spoke to us after the tragic news was confirmed. you know, it's really sad that he's lost his life in the place where he so loved to share, you know, his experiences with exploring the titanic. so it's kind of symbolic in a way that this was where he passed. and the american captain also perished — stockton rush, whose firm ran the expedition. but questions are being asked about the uncertified vessel's safety. this is footage of the submersible from last year. there is limited air supply, passengers are bolted from the outside and communications were temporarily lost. the man who directed hollywood movie titanic said he always feared the worst. the comms were lost and navigation was lost.
8:05 am
and i said, instantly, you can't lose comms and navigation together without an extreme catastrophic event — a highly energetic catastrophic event. the first thing that popped to mind was an implosion, so i felt in my bones what had happened. the community, our community of deep ocean engineers spoke out against it, quite loudly, and the warnings were unheeded. this voyage is one of many treacherous high—end tourism options for those with the money and desire to do it but it comes with extreme risks, especially in the crushing depths of the ocean and at a site that is once again known for maritime tragedy. nomia iqbal, bbc news, stjohn's in newfoundland. now one development that we have had after we heard from the coastguard about what they described as a
8:06 am
catastrophic implosion is that the us navy, according to an official, pick up some sort of acoustic anomaly on sunday, shortly after contact was lost between the titan submersible as it was taking its descent down towards the titanic wreck site and the mother ship. this was passed on to the coastguard but it was not believed to be definitive by officials. we have onlyjust learned about it. it is not clear why it was not made public before. subsequent to that a huge search operation resulting in extremely high tech equipment being sent to the scene. it was one of the unmanned robots that ascended to the sea bed near to the titanic wreck discovering some of the debris about 1600 metres from the bow of the titanic ship. the huge operation has seen massive technology brought there. it is not clear what will
8:07 am
happen now. it seems as though some assets will remain on site, continue to document the scene. it is not clear either he may carry out an investigation. it is such an unprecedented event taking place in international waters. the bank of england raised interest rates to the highest level in 15 years. there will is a meeting involving jeremy hunt. so many people are concerned about rising interest rates and the impact on mortgages. the government needs to have a conversation with the banks but not tell them what to do. brute but not tell them what to do. we have been _ but not tell them what to do. 9 have been seeing different bosses from different high street banks arriving here in downing street. they will be meeting the chancellor.
8:08 am
essentially the purposes a bit of a check—in after a gathering they had in december last year. it was agreed then that lender should be doing all they can to help people at risk of not being able to meet any mortgage repayment. i think the chancellor is going to be seeing whether or not lenders are meeting some of those commitments they agreed with. some of the ways lenders can help people at this time are things like potential sort of mortgage holiday periods to their repayments were helping people move onto longer repayment periods or interest only deals to alleviate of the initial hit of the cost rises we have seen in the last couple of months. i think another thing that might be discussed as well as what help can be provided to people without affecting their credit rating of their ability to borrow more money in the future. these are all things that are likely to be discussed in downing street this morning. what we are not expecting it any more sort of big announcements about further support. the government and labour
8:09 am
have been pretty clear they do not want to be giving people hand—outs or grants to help with people's rising mortgage costs. they argue that would be inflationary in itself. i think the main thing at the moment is seeing what lenders are doing to try to help people with their rising repayments.— very much. around 14,000 people did not vote after being unable to show an acceptable form of photo id during england's local elections. the electoral commission said it's likely more people didn't turn up because of the new voter identification policy. last month's elections was the first time voters were reqired to show id before collecting their ballot paper. thousands of rail workers will go on strike for three days injuly — as part of a long—running dispute over pay and conditions. the rmt union says members across 14 railfirms will walk out from the 20th ofjuly. the government said it's helped operators put forward "fair and reasonable" pay offers.
8:10 am
earlier this week, football legend graeme souness completed a 21—mile relay swim across the english channel — all inspired by a 14—year—old girl named isla. isla has the rare skin disease called eb and she's now been recognised with a pride of scotland teenager of courage award, for her bravery. speaking at the event graeme said isla was the most impressive human being he'd ever met in 70 years. a great night for her. now the weather with matt. good morning. these are a series of clouds. are changes afoot. the difference seen in the west compared with the last few days. a lot of cloud and there will be some rain. damp ground in northern ireland and
8:11 am
a few showers still to come. heavy rain pushing into scotland and inching into north west england. that will move north and east valley erratically during the day. the heaviest bursts in the west were turning grey around the coast. probably staying sunny as it will across much of southern england, the channel islands and in shetland. the woman stood in the sunshine 27, 28. for all and increasingly humid day. drizzly at times in the north and west. these are the lows to take us into tomorrow morning. 16 at the coolest, some will sit into the high teens for much of the night. saturday are very warm start and a very warm day ahead. a bit of light rain and drizzle in the west. overall after a cloudy start more sunshine in the afternoon
8:12 am
temperatures taking a boost. 26 degrees on the far north—east of scotland and 29, 30 in the far south—east of england. changes afoot on sunday. it will start hot and humid but the weather front will push its way and then that will bring more in a way of rain across the country with thundery damp was not reaching the south—east until late in the day. thank you very much see you later. door staff, working at clubs and bars, are demanding a change in the law to give them the same protection against abuse as emergency service workers. supervisers say they're subjected to, physical assaults, racism, and sexual harassment — as ashley john—ba ptiste reports. i remember yourface. i took a picture already. you are bleep. for door supervisors, dealing with a rowdy customer or two is part of the job. my friend, they're back. but what happens when people
8:13 am
take things too far? gaby has been a door supervisor for nearly four decades. a punch by a customer on shift left him hospitalised. he was diagnosed with post—concussion syndrome, a mild traumatic brain injury with symptoms including anxiety and memory loss. it's left him unable to work. what has the emotional and mental impact of this been? you look at yourself, how did this happen to me? why is it happening to me? um, but...again, itold you, my brain phases out here in there, so can you just ask me the question again? i can see that you are a bit emotional. yeah. it is emotional. you don't expect to be assaulted at work. i'm frightened that i might get punched again. and, you know, i don't... i don't want to die. i don't want to die at work.
8:14 am
and gary's not alone. 20—year—old olivia has worked at some of nottingham's busiest venues for almost a year and has faced sexual harassment from the onset. a lot of groping, people trying to put their hand down my trousers. they say things like, "i will find you," and they say, "i will kill you, like." and there have been times where they've told me that they will rape me. that's not unusual for that to happen. if it's been you, the target of the abuse, you've got it going through your head of, "are they going to come back for me?" door supervisors are employed by private agencies, but licensed and regulated by the security industry authority. part of our role, a bit more practically to help security officers, is the training that we set the standards for. what we want to see, in the same way as security officers and venues do, is an appropriate punishment for the offence that's been committed. industry bodies are calling for the security industry authority and the home office to introduce legislation to protect door
8:15 am
supervisors like ronald from nottingham, who has faced racist abuse throughout his career. when is a black person seen to be in a position of authority? it's not like you get called the n—word, you get called a monkey. i replay things over and i think, "do i want to stay in this any longer and subject to this when it does happen?" i question. with summer in full swing, and more people flocking to festivals, events and nightclubs across the uk, many door supervisors are increasingly fearful about the levels of abuse they are forced to confront. i see us as the fourth emergency service. we are there before the ambulance service. the police service. we are the first persons on scene. we sign up for helping you when you're sick. when somebody's attacked, you and you need help, i don't go out of my way
8:16 am
to kick you out of a club if you're having a good time. it's only if it's necessary. and i don't want it to be necessary. so be good people when you go to my club, 0k? it is hard, isn't it? you saw olivia in that report and joshua. they are door supervisors, in that report and joshua. they are doorsupervisors, not in that report and joshua. they are door supervisors, not bouncers. in that report and joshua. they are doorsupervisors, not bouncers. how you bed this morning? door supervisors, not bouncers. how you bed this morning?— doorsupervisors, not bouncers. how you bed this morning? good. at this moment in time _ you bed this morning? good. at this moment in time you _ you bed this morning? good. at this moment in time you are _ you bed this morning? good. at this moment in time you are not - you bed this morning?

into the death of their loved one at an inquest, which is absolutely vital if we're to learn lessons. the rmt rail union has announced another three days of strike action next month in its ongoing dispute about pay and conditions. thousands of workers from 14 train companies will walk out on the 20th, 22nd, and 29th ofjuly. unions are pushing for more pay as the cost of living rises rapidly, but rail firms have said they will not pay more without concessions on conditions. a plaque to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the empire windrush's arrival at tilbury docks has been unveiled at tilbury town station. it was on the 22nd june 1948 that the ship arrived in the essex port, bringing caribbean migrants to the uk.

many passengers would then have taken the train for their onward journey. let's take a look at the tubes now. pretty good news, most lines are running well, just the piccadilly line which is part suspended. that is between hammersmith and acton town, and it is westbound only. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. temperatures will be rising again this weekend. it could feel quite hot by the time we get to sunday in particular, and the humidity levels will also rise. so may be rather uncomfortable for sleeping. this morning, it's a fairly warm start to the day yet again. there will be plenty of sunshine around today, but also a bit more cloud than many of us saw yesterday. and that high cloud will be turning the sunshine hazy at times, but high pressure is set to keep us dry. temperatures will peak in the mid 20s in celsius, just a little more cloud around than yesterday. the uv levels are high,
8:29 am
the pollen levels are very high. now, with that more humid feeling air, it will feel more uncomfortable to go to sleep in overnight tonight. we'll keep the clear skies, though. few areas of cloud developing into saturday morning. and this is how we'll start off the day on saturday, on a rather warm note. more cloud around again on saturday, but plenty of sunshine developing through the afternoon. by the time we get to sunday, it's looking largely dry during the day. we could see a few showers maybe in the evening. that's it. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been hearing this morning, the chancellor will meet with mortgage providers later to ask what they're doing to help customers with rising costs, after the bank of england raised the interest rate to its highest level for 15 years. ben's at an estate agents
8:30 am
in coventry looking into this for us. yes, this is walmsley�*s estate agents in the city of coventry. just looking at some of the properties on the market here, a five bedroom house with a south facing gardens on the market for £550,000. anyone wanting to buy something like that, or something like this two bed terrace, whatever the property is, if you're buying or remortgaging, you will notice the effect of those rising interest rates. this is a good place to come to get a sense of what's happening to the housing market. the bank of england has now raised interest rates to 5%. it's the highest for 15 years. it's the 13th rate rise in a row, and it's an attempt to control the rising prices we're all experiencing at the moment.
8:31 am
the impact on you will depend on your circumstances, but those on a typical tracker mortgage face an immediate increase of £47 a month. that's on top of the increases from the previous rate rises. those on standard variable deals face a £30 increase. 8 out of 10 mortgage customers hold a fixed—rate mortgage so their monthly payments may not change immediately, but house buyers or anyone seeking to remortgage face a sharp rise in repayments when they move on to a new deal. a typical two—year fixed deal is now above 6% — so a £250,000 mortgage over 25 years will cost almost £400 more per month than it did two years ago. in a moment, we'll hear about the impact on customers at this estate agents in coventry.
8:32 am
first, we've been speaking to people in leeds about how it will affect them. it is frightening because we do not seem to have any... we are not being told whether this is going to be long—term, is it going to get higher? my mortgage is going up £400 next month. and obviously it has gone up again— since i arranged mine a couple of months ago. so it is not great, going to have a big detrimental effect on everything with the cost of living as well. my parents first bought their house, bought it for 50 grand. the rate at which house prices are going up compared to wages, it is not comparable at all, so it is just going to get harder and harder for the younger generation to put a mortgage down.

mortgages, we have graham, a mortgages, we have graham, a mortgage broker. graham, if people are wondering, do they lock in now on a fixed deal, or do they hope that interest rates come down, what would you advise them?— would you advise them? without a c stal would you advise them? without a crystal ball. _ would you advise them? without a crystal ball. it _ would you advise them? without a crystal ball, it is _ would you advise them? without a crystal ball, it is very _ would you advise them? without a crystal ball, it is very difficult - crystal ball, it is very difficult to say. there are a lot of thought processes that are involved. typically it is easier to budget around a fixed rate, because interest rates are not going up potential in the future and down. the five year fixed option is cheaper at the moment than the two year fixed option, cheaper at the moment than the two yearfixed option, which tells cheaper at the moment than the two year fixed option, which tells us that in the near future, rates are likely to come down. it will not be the immediate future, but the not too distant future, between 18 months and three years, we should see a decrease in interest rates available at the moment. and i would probably on balance, because it is easier to budget around, try and fix it in at the moment, if you can

8:36 am
morning who said that his mortgage has gone up, and he has no choice but to pass that on otherwise it would not be viable, so the rate rises we have been talking about having a very real and direct and immediate impact, in many cases come on people's lives in places like coventry but also right around the uk. ben, it has been interesting, thank you so much, ben in coventry there for us. mike has all the sport. he is going to have a go at some baseball. trying to be inspired by one of the greatest. this is a 2008 world series winner, chase utley. we
8:37 am
are at london stadium which has been transformed into this amazing baseball arena, transformed into this amazing baseballarena, it transformed into this amazing baseball arena, it is the true authentic baseball experience, we even have the so—called broomsticks here, two feet long. they expect 4000 of those to be sold over the weekend, 60,000 fans inside a london stadium on saturday tomorrow and on sunday as well. some top tips in a moment, we will find out about the sport from one the greatest, chase utley, but first let's remind ourselves about baseball in the uk. big strikes and home runs from the heart of the usa, but this weekend, many people are claiming that baseball is coming home to england. the first match may have been held in surrey in 1749 before sports like cricket took over and baseball was nudged aside by similar games like rounders, even though the original form has continued to be played here throughout the decades.
8:38 am
mention rounders to this girl, you're likely to get that ball right between the eyes. but it has been american teams who have made the sport what it is today, and now two of the most famous teams, the chicago cubs and the st louis cardinals, hoping their presence in the uk will grow the game here again. west ham's stadium has been transformed into a arena fit for the matches between the two sides. only the second time major league matches have been staged in europe, and four years ago when the last time happened, the legend pitched the sport to local youngsters. it is a thinking man's game, it is an academic game, it is a game that respects history. and after major league baseball came here last time, there was an immediate ripple effect,
8:39 am
people pitching their skills to scouts from the usa“s top sides. this time, the impact is set to be even greater. as a fan of the sport in the uk, it is absolutely enormous. it is the pinnacle. as a person who has been a fan of baseball for nearly 20 years, i never thought i would see the day when we would have any baseball played in this country. booked off saturday and sunday, my son works in it, so the day the tickets were released, he was on red alert all morning to make sure we got decent tickets, so it will be a wonderful event and i want to be part of it. for those who do not know this sport, it is accessible. three attempts to hit the ball and try to get around the bases. manage all four in one hit, that is a home run. when the olympics were held here in 2012, baseball missed the party, having been dropped from the games. so this weekend, it is going to be

making the most of its chance to be in the sporting spotlight in london. i'm with chase utley, former philadelphia phillies baseball player. how important is it for major league baseball to be back in the uk? under the second time _ baseball to be back in the uk? under the second time in _ baseball to be back in the uk? under the second time in europe, _ baseball to be back in the uk? under the second time in europe, it - baseball to be back in the uk? under the second time in europe, it will- the second time in europe, it will be an amazing experience. you see the transformation of the stadium from a football pitch to an amazing baseball stadium, it has been great to have the best players in the world playing here in london this weekend. ., ., ., weekend. how important for the devel0pment — weekend. how important for the development of _ weekend. how important for the development of the _ weekend. how important for the development of the sport - weekend. how important for the development of the sport in - weekend. how important for the - development of the sport in europe? it is amazing, it has grown immensely. yesterday i was with 400 school kids around the corner, then having a blast, learn how to throw, catch, understanding the game, some so far it has been pretty sweet. for us mere mortals standing here by the home plate, seeing the picture, warming upfor home plate, seeing the picture, warming up for what is going to happen in a moment, you see how far away the stands are, where you have to hit it for a home run. talk about that feeling, what it is like. you
