an end to meal deals on unhealthy foods in wales — the welsh government says it'll ban them to improve diets and tackle obesity. the cost of the weekly shop will be under scrutiny today, as mps quiz supermarket bosses over food prices that are still rising sharply compared with a year ago. in sport, the england and wales cricket board apologise unreservedly after a damning report finds racism, elitism and misogyny widespread and deep rooted in british cricket. and the singer tony christie adds another very special voice to his charity song for this years thank you day. i'm standing with a legend. no, i'm standing with a legend. good morning. a bright start in eastern areas. it
6:01 am
won't last. the rain will travel eastwards through the day and it will turn increasingly humid. details coming up. good morning. it's tuesday, 27thjune. president putin has made his first public comments since the mutiny by the wagner mercenary group ended, saying any attempt to stir up turmoil in russia was "doomed to fail". during a tv address, mr putin said the leaders of the uprising would be brought tojustice, but regular wagnerfighters could join the russian army, return to theirfamilies or go to belarus. graham satchell reports. vladimir putin has not been seen since saturday, but late last night he called a meeting of his security chiefs. in an address to the nation he thanked the russian people for standing up to what he called treachery. translation: it was the patriotism l of our citizens, the consolidation l of the whole of russian society, that played the decisive role in these events.
6:02 am
this support helped us overcome the most difficult challenges that our motherland faced. thank you for this. the dramatic events of the weekend saw tanks on the streets as the mercenary group wagner seized towns in southern russia, and then headed for moscow. it looked at one stage like a full—scale military coup. but as suddenly as it started, it stopped. now wagner's leader, yevgeny prigozhin, has released a message on social media. he hadn't tried to overthrow russia's government, he said. it was just a protest to stop wagner being disbanded, and to punish those who had made mistakes in what he called the special military operation in ukraine. so what are we to make of all of this? russian state television said the country
6:03 am
remained united behind president putin, and criticised the mutiny as a propaganda win for the west. but newspaper headlines in moscow are openly talking about russia's vulnerability, and an unprecedented challenge to vladimir putin. after24 years, i mean, you do lose your sense of reality. in a giant country like this, when everything is in the centre and everybody is doing everything at your whim, you would be an incredibly great person not to lose your marbles. the skies above the black sea and pictures from the russian defence ministry show the british raf reconnaissance plane. russia claims it forced the aircraft away from its territory. the ministry of defence says the plane was in international airspace. on the ground, the latest pictures from ukraine show president zelensky handing out medals to soldiers who've been fighting in bakhmut. he described them as heroic and thanked them for their service. ukraine is slowly winning back territory in this war.
6:04 am
it will hope the apparent chaos in russia will aid its cause. graham satchell, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford. sarah, you'rejoining us from warsaw, but spent 20 years working in moscow. what will the mood be in russia today, and what impact does this have going forward? i think ithinka i think a lot of people will frankly be baffled still by the extraordinary events of the past few days. what we saw from vladimir putin pretty late last night was an attempt to reassert his authority. i think he knows that he has seen a real challenge to his power, to his image of strength, over the weekend from this mutiny led by yevgeny prigozhin, a man who was once very close to him. i think this was him laying out his case, really
6:05 am
condemning very strongly the organisers of this mutiny. he didn't name prigozhin by name. you didn't use his name. but he made it clear with his snarling speech and his curling lip that he was furious about what he describes as a betrayal, and yet at the same time, many russians have seen something quite different playing out on the streets. he was talking about of the unity of russians and the decisiveness of his own response and how this mutiny had been doomed to failure. yet what russians saw play out was a real challenge to mr putin. they saw troops not linked to the russian military heading for moscow. we now know it has been confirmed that some russian pilots were shot out of the sky by this column of armed mercenaries. it was an extraordinary thing to be happening, unprecedented. and as a result of it, mr putin has actually led to these wagner fighters take the choice, if they so wish, to go to belarus. and yevgeny prigozhin himself is still free. i don't think he is a man who is going to stop
6:06 am
voicing his criticism, who is actually going to give in. he doesn't sound yet like a man defeated. doesn't sound yet like a man defeated-— doesn't sound yet like a man defeated, ., ., ~' ., defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah rainsford in _ defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah rainsford in warsaw. _ defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah rainsford in warsaw. jon - defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah rainsford in warsaw. jon has - defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah| rainsford in warsaw. jon has more defeated. sarah, thank you. sarah i rainsford in warsaw. jon has more of rainsford in warsaw. jon has more of the news. it's an important day at the covid inquiry, where the former health secretary matt hancock will be questioned later, on the uk's resilience and readiness for the pandemic. the inquiry has already heard from england's former deputy chief medical officer damejenny harries, who said cuts had put significant pressure on local public health systems ahead of the pandemic. mr hancock stepped down from the cabinet injune 2021, after he was exposed for breaking social distancing rules. a novelist and tv producer has accused a conservative mayoral hopeful of groping her ten years ago. daisy goodwin has told today's times newspaper that daniel korski sexually assaulted her during a meeting at downing street. he has denied the allegation. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley.

6:08 am
korski had touched her breast. we have spoken to a spokesperson for mr korski, who says that in the strongest possible terms dan categorically denies any allegation of inappropriate behaviour whatsoever.— of inappropriate behaviour whatsoever. ., ~ ., of inappropriate behaviour whatsoever. ., ., ., the royal college of nursing will announce the result of a ballot later, over whether its members will continue walk—outs until christmas, in the long—running dispute over pay and conditions. meanwhile, hospital consultants in england could strike on 20th and 2istjuly, if they vote in favour of industrial action in a separate ballot, which closes at lunchtime. trespassing on britain's railways remains above pre—pandemic levels, according to new figures from british transport police. in the last year, there were more than 18,000 incidents of people going onto railway tracks without permission. that's 14% more than 2020. parents and carers of secondary school children are paying on average £422 per year
6:09 am
for school uniforms, and nearly £300 for children in primary school, according to the children's society charity. it comes after schools across england were asked in september to reduce the cost of uniforms. meal deals with a high fat, sugar or salt content will be restricted in wales under government plans to tackle obesity and diabetes. temporary price drops and multi—buy offers on the unhealthiest foods will also be banned under new laws that will be rolled out across wales in 2025. hywel griffith has this report. they are the default dining option for millions of people. meal deals grabbed on the go and priced to be easy on the wallet, if not always the waistline. in wales from next year, shops won't be allowed to sell the foods highest in fat, salt
6:10 am
and sugar as part of a deal. not everyone finds that palatable. no, i don't think it is, personally. i think you should be able to have the choice and, you know, you can eat and drink what you want within reason, you know? i mean, you can still buy it, but it might be more expensive. well, but you're alienating people, really, because people want what they want. there are way too many offers and things towards higher fats, and that is what people naturally go to because they think it's cheaper than fruit or veg. everything's labelled. you're making a conscious choice. so i think there's no need - to increase the prices, really. of course, all of these options will still be available. it'll be up to shoppers to decide whether they're prepared to pay more for the less healthy options. some changes are being planned in england and scotland too. but in wales the labour government is preparing to go further and faster. as well as stopping multibuy offers on unhealthy foods in wales, temporary price cuts won't be allowed either. ministers are convinced next year's
6:11 am
change won't add to the cost of living crisis. we know that the vast majority of price promotions are on the really unhealthy, ultra—processed foods. what we want to do is shift the market so that promotions are on healthierfoods, and also encourage reformulation of some of the most unhealthy foods, so that the easy choice is the healthy choice for people in wales. that would need a reset across the industry. so far, the response hasn't been favourable, with the welsh retail consortium warning the changes are irresponsible and unlikely to change the way we shop. hywel griffiths, bbc news. a woman has set a new record for scaling all of scotland's munros in 31 days and ten hours. there are 282 of them.
6:12 am
43—year—old ultra—runnerjamie aarons completed the challenge to raise money for charity and beat the previous record by more than 12 hours. she has earned that sit down, hasn't she? she has! that is a long way and a lot of climbing. she's done an amazing, amazing thing. a munro is anything over 3000 feet. extraordinary. well done. 12 minutes past six. we need to check in with carol to get the weather, find out if it is climbing weather. hopefully not forjamie. she is having a day off, i hope. good morning. who can blame her? this morning we start off on a bright note in eastern areas. it will not last because for most of us todayit will not last because for most of us today it is going to be fairly cloudy and they will be some rain. we have already got that rain in northern ireland, into western scotland, north—west england. i had a bit there are some showers. through the rest of the day the red
6:13 am
is going to continue to push eastwards. some of it would be heavy and persistent in the north. further south from this cloud we are likely to see light and patchy rain, some drizzle, but some of us will miss it altogether. if you are across parts of the south coast, the channel islands or orkney, there is a good chance you'll stay dry with sunny spells. breezy across northern ireland at western scotland, and increasingly today it is going to start to feel humid once again. temperatures 15 in the north, to about 22 degrees in the south—east. as we head on through the evening and overnight, that rain continues to push away into the north sea. quite a lot of cloud behind it. murky around the coasts and the hills. some clear spells. the cloud thick enough for the odd splash of drizzle. the winds easing. by the end of the night you can see the next weather front is coming our way into the west. is going to be quite humid night. 12 to about 16 or 18
6:14 am
being the overnight lows. tomorrow we start off with some brightness around. in the north we have got this rain, which will push northwards and eastwards through the course of the day. cloudy in the south, with one or two showers, but pressure conditions follow on to scotland and northern ireland. still humid across parts of england and wales. thank you very much indeed. you are going to like this next item. it is just for you. for many of us, it's one of the most soothing sounds on the radio. northerly, north—easterly five to seven, fair, good. north—west fitzroy, three to five, rain later, good, occasionally moderate later. i am not sure we are meant to be sending people to sleep! it is really calming. the shipping forecast sailing by. the list of 31 names that has extra significance for a lady called katie car.
6:15 am
she's attempting to paddle a kayak in many of those waters, to complete a challenge which was started by her late brother, toby. jemma woodman has the story. five years ago, toby carr embarked upon a truly original adventure off. i'm going to kayak in all of the areas of the shipping forecast. and now the shipping forecast issued by the met office on behalf of the maritime and coastguard agency. he even had a book deal, and when he'd finish, he'd publish his story. southeast seven to severe gale nine, occasionally poor until later. but toby had a life—limiting illness. toby was born with fanconi anaemia. one of the things that happens if those patients survive childhood is that as an adult they have more
6:16 am
propension towards cancer. all of us tried not to think about it. more than anything else, it was about living life as fully as possible. his sister, katie carr, will finish his mission. yeah, so this is the first time in this kayak. and it's really exciting, at the same time a little bit emotional, because i know that the last person who sat in this was toby. setting out from flushing, she has ten areas left of the shipping forecast to kayak. if you suddenly feel you might fall in, you just do that, it mightjust save you. but you've got to have your elbows up, really. friend julie is giving lessons. the next stop is going to be ireland, and doing all of the irish sea areas that he never got out to. i'm a beginner, so i'm having to learn as i go along. and there was another challenge — toby's unfinished book. found his notebooks, and started to realise that with that, with the voice
6:17 am
recordings, the photos, i could piece it together. variable, three to four. fair, good, becoming moderate later. the shipping forecast is something which had real meaning, and he was also trying to deal with the grief from losing our brother marcus. he had the same illness as toby. toby died of liver cancer. and that was — again, it was a result of fanconi's. when we were kids, we were often told that we wouldn't live longer than 30 and the life expectancy is quite short. so i think that obviously puts in your mind a sense of determination to try and get the most out of things. toby was a0 when he died last year. so toby never knew i would finish the book or the journey. he'd just be delighted that his story was going to be told and that people could feel inspired to get outside, to get in a kayak,
6:18 am
to even think, 0k, i've got a terminal illness or a life limiting illness, what can i do within those limits? and i think he'd just be delighted. "like many others, i often listen to the shipping forecast to drift off to sleep at night. and while the names of distant places drift in and out of my comprehension, somewhere out there, someone will be on the water."" gemma woodman, bbc news. katie carr ending that report byjemma woodman. let's take a look at some of today's papers. and many of them are leading on developments in russia. the telegraph focuses on a boast by the leader of the wagner mercenary group that his army could have taken ukraine in a day. the times quotes president putin, who vowed to punish the rebel leaders while also accusing the west of wanting russia to "choke" on civil war.
6:19 am
the metro leads on the death of nicola bulley, whose disappearance injanuary sparked a three—week search, and much speculation. an inquest has heard that she drowned after falling into an icy river. and the guardian is one of several papers to show pictures of harrison ford and phoebe waller—bridge at the london premier of indiana jones and the dial of destiny — we'll have more on that later in the show. this is a picture from the times online this morning, it's a cloud that looks like a dog. it was taken from a plane as it flew over portugal. it has taken me a while. it has taken me a while. it looks exactly like a dog. i think it is a poodle. the head on the left, the tail on the bottom right. a lovely cute here. you can see it said. it is, infact, a lovely cute here. you can see it said. it is, in fact, just a gorgeous cloud somewhere over the

6:21 am
21 minutes past six. we are talking about food. with the rising cost of living causing the price of food and fuel to soar, there's concern about whether supermarkets are doing enough to stop you paying more at the till. that's what mps will be asking supermarket bosses today, ben has more details. good morning. this is something we've spoken about a lot. how much more you are paying at the tills for your everyday food shop compared to last year. and today mps will the quizzing the big four supermarkets over what they're doing to bring those prices and when you will see that in your pocket. the latest figures show that food prices have risen 18.4% in the last year. that was down from 19.1% a month ago, but still prices are rising rapidly. these figures from the ons covers grocery shopping and eating out.
6:22 am
remember, this is the average. some items in your trolley will have gone up items in your trolley will have gone up even more sharply over the past 12 months. first one up. in may last year, a dozen eggs would have set you back on average £2.53. last month, it was £3.26, up 29% in a year. how about a two pint bottle of semi skimmed milk? last year, £1.01. this year, up 28% to £1.29. and lastly, cheddar cheese, which per kilo last year cost £6.99. this year that is up to £9.65 a kilo, up a staggering 38%. so can something be done to stop these prices rising so rapidly? there's concern among food industry experts that these price rises won't be slowing down anytime soon. in the uk the grocery retail market is probably the most competitive in
6:23 am
the world. and that's something that has existed for probably about the first 15 or 20 years. there is no sign of that competitiveness changing. yes, there is inflation, but that is not driven by retailers, thatis but that is not driven by retailers, that is driven by what is happening on a global scale. now the supermarkets say they are cutting prices. just yesterday, sainsbury�*s announced £15 million of price cuts. morrisons and tesco have cut the price of basic items. and asda say they are freezing the prices of more than 500 products until the end of august. but we can expect mps to call for them to go further faster to ease the cost of living for households around the country. and in the meantime we all have to shop around. that is it. we are seeing a changing shopping habits, people looking for own brand items, special offers, deals, everyone doing what they can to try to bring down the number that you see at the checkout when it has all gone through. thank you.
6:24 am
you're watching breakfast. still to come... # thank you for being a friend. we'll be catching up with the singer tony christie about living with dementia, music therapy, and collaborating with a stellar line—up of musicians to record a new song for next month's thank you day. tonyjoins usjust after eight. looking forward to that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. conservative london mayoral hopeful daniel korski has denied allegations "in the strongest possible terms" of inappropriate behaviour after he was accused by screenwriter and novelist daisy goodwin of groping her a decade ago. daniel korski, seen here on the right at a meeting last night with other tory mayoral candidates,
6:25 am
hopes to stand for mayor of london for the party next year. ms goodwin has told a newspaper that she was sexually assaulted during a meeting at downing street when mr korski, working as a special advisor to david cameron, put his hand on her breast. more details of the story are on the bbc london website. in other news, nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition calling for the shepperton open water swim lake in south west london to be left out of a new flood prevention scheme. new river channels are being built in as part of the river thames scheme which aims to reduce the risk of flooding for more than 12,000 homes and businesses following floods in 2014. but campaigners have called for the lake to be excluded amid concerns of raw sewage flowing into the bathing lake. the river thames scheme says concerns will be considered. the roof of ealing hospital might seem like an unlikely spot for a growing bird of prey family live but peregrine falcons
6:26 am
have made it their home, welcomed two new chicks there, and it's being watched around the world. the idea came from when the birds arrived last year and it's proved popular. last year, because they bred successfully here, we decided to put up a webcam so we could watch them raise their family 24/7 this year and it's been absolutely amazing to be able to see insights into their lives. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of brightness out there first thing this morning, short lived however, it will be replaced with some fairly heavy cloud which in turn could bring some spots of light rain and drizzle. it is in fact a warm front and that warm front as it moves through, it's going to replace the fresher
6:27 am
air we had overnight and yesterday with something a little more humid again. like i said, a few spots of rain, nothing significant, temperatures today reaching 23 celsius. as we head into this evening and overnight, that front just starts to clear but we're left with the humid air. it is going to be quite uncomfortable, some spots not dropping much below 16 celsius. so a warm night, again, mightjust get one or two spots of drizzle as we head into wednesday morning. and as we head through wednesday, we will see the cloud breaking up, one or two sunny spells could lead to some heavy showers. then this cold front starts to move through and that could bring some heavier, more persistent spells of rain through thursday itself. but once it clears, something slightly fresher by the end of the week. it's just been announced that the wireless festival will be announced in finsbury park every summer till 2027, more of that on our website.
6:28 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's an important day for cricket. yes, a long—awaited report out today highlighting some issues in the game today which are widespread and deep—rooted but the hope is the report will offer a real reset in the game of cricket. good morning. that report by the independent commision for equity in cricket finding racism is entrenched in the game, that women routinely experience sexism and misogyny, with the findings leading to an apology by the england and wales cricket board as our sports editor dan roan reports. for england's cricket teams, this is a summer to be savoured. both men's and women's sides hosting ashes series. but the sport now faces a reckoning after a damning report laid bare entrenched discrimination. the woman who led the independent commission for equity in cricket told me the game needed urgent reform. i think it's a watershed moment for cricket, i really do. our findings are unequivocal.
6:29 am
racism, sexism, class —based discrimination, and elitism are widespread and deep—rooted throughout the game. the stories were absolutely horrific, and it goes to show that the culture in cricket is rotten. the report called holding up a mirror to cricket heard from more than 4000 people, with 50% saying they had experienced discrimination in the game. 75% of those who suffered it did not report it to the cricket authorities. i think the first thing i need to do, dan, is to apologise. and that's the first recommendation that the report made. so i think to those individuals that have been discriminated against, excluded, all of those individuals, the game, the ecb, the game as a whole owes them a real genuine apology, a heartfelt apology as to the fact that this should be a game for all and unfortunately this report identifies the fact that it has not been a game for all.
6:30 am
among many failings, the report found that women were treated as a subordinate and second—class citizens, routinely experiencing sexism. that there was little to no focus on addressing class barriers with scarce provision of cricket in state schools. that a heavy drinking culture excludes many people. and that the ecb had failed to support black cricket. maurice chambers came to essex from jamaica as a teenager and said he experienced racism at the club. an investigation is ongoing. he wonders if young black players will even consider cricket as a career. how many people of my background do you see playing professional cricket now, these days? there's not many of them, are there? is this the kind of stuff i'm going to be faced whenever, whatever club that i will be playing for? nobody wants that. tomorrow, lords will welcome a full house for the start of the second men's ashes test, one of the highlights of the sporting calendar. but alongside the excitement, the game is also now reeling
6:31 am
after one of the most chastening reports to rock english sport in recent years. the game was already under scrutiny under the yorkshire racism scandal exposed by the county's former spinner azeem rafiq. now with this fresh report making 44 recommendations including an independent regulator, the ecb has three months to come up with a plan to salvage trust across the whole of the sport. dan roan, bbc news. despite defeat to australia in the one—off ashes test, england head coachjon lewis says his side need to go harder heading into the next match of their multi—format series. it was all to play for on day five, with england resuming on 116—5 at trent bridge but finished up 178 all out. australia can thank the brilliance of ash gardner who took all five wickets as australia won by 89 runs, to take all four points on offer from that test win. there are now six white—ball games to come with two
6:32 am
points per win on offer. so england showing they can compete, the next match, a t20 at edgbaston on saturday. lots of tributes to the former scotland manager craig brown who has died at the age of 82 after a short illness. he was his country's longest serving manager, in charge for 71 games, and the last man to take scotland to a world cup finals at france �*98. he also managed preston north end and motherwell before ending his managerial career at aberdeen in 2013. roy hodgson will remain as crystal palace manager next season. already the oldest premier league manager, he will turn 76 three days before palace's first game of the new season, when they take on newly promoted sheffield united. he previously left the club two years ago after four years in charge. his first manager's job was back in 1976. the build up to wimbledon continues, with liam broady and katie boulter in action later at eastbourne
6:33 am
where they'll be hoping to join harriet dart in the next round. it was a great win for the british numberfour, who recovered from a poor start to knock out china's zhang shuai in three sets, an opponent 105 places above her in the world rankings. she's got the tricky task of playing either two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova or former french open winnerjelena 0stapenko in the last 16. britjodie burrage is also through. she lost the opening set but fought back to beat the world number 44 lauren davis over three sets. burrage will play another american in the last 16, either world number seven coco gauff or bernarda pera. and just to get you in the mood. take a look at this rally betweenjapan�*s taro daniel and marco trungelliti of argentina. these sensational dives, more like what a goalkeeper playing football would pull off.
6:34 am
but it was daniel who went on to win. that's what wimbledon offers us, doesn't it? it's going to be exciting. doesn't it? it's going to be exciting-— doesn't it? it's going to be excitina. �*, ., ~ exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites _ exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites will _ exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites will not _ exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites will not be _ exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites will not be white - exciting. let's hope so, thank you. those whites will not be white for. those whites will not be white for very long if they keep throwing themselves on the floor! after revealing his dementia diagnosis earlier this year, the singer tony christie told breakfast it was not going to hold him back. true to his word, he's recorded a very special song on behalf of the music for dementia campaign for this year's "thank you day" which aims to recognise the work done by britain's unsung carers. tony hinted to us that a stellar musician would bejoining him and today we can reveal that singer is none other than sting. tim muffettjoined then for the recording. # well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me # and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. british grove recording studios in west london.
6:35 am
# and float away. where friendship... # the milky way. and music... # as we ascend. are coming together. tony, to have sting here, it must be amazing. it is, and the reason, yeah, god, good god. i'm standing with a legend. no, i'm standing with a legend! cancelling each other out, two legends. # thank you for being a friend. the song is thank you for being a friend, a hit in 1978 for andrew gold. # your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. the idea is to re—record it for thank you day onjuly 2nd. # i want to thank you. and to raise awareness and money for dementia charities. # thank you for being a friend. i mean, i have the beginnings
6:36 am
of dementia, so this is why i'm involved. and i'm just proud that people are helping and it's making people think about it and not be ashamed of it. # well, have no fear, even though it's hard to hear # i will stand real close and say... well, sting, you know a thing or two about charity singles, you sang, of course, on band aid's do they know it's christmas, which was kind of the first one. do you think this one will make a difference? i don't know, i hope so, i hope so. itjust seemed like a very, very good cause. i know how important music is to people who suffer from dementia. people remember songs more readily than they remember almost anything else. so, you know, it's a battle. some people are fighting at the front line, but it may be a battle we're all fighting eventually. so i'm happy to lend a hand. # take a bow. tony has been really open about his condition. that's impressive, isn't it? i think so, it's right. people should come out and say, "hey, i'm suffering here, help me." yeah.
6:37 am
it's quite exciting actually. it's building up now and i can feel it all coming together and it - gives you goose bumps. also performing, dan gillespie sells, singer and guitarist from the band the feeling, and graham gouldman from 10cc. he was also in the band wax with andrew gold, the original performer of the song who died in 2011. we toured and we used to do this song live, so it's lovely to be a part of it. # i want to thank you. producer graeme pleeth has never worked on anything quite like this. i've been doing this- a long time and it's days like today, a bit surreal. and having someone like sting here recording, that's amazing, isn't it?
6:38 am
it's absolutely extraordinary. he's a legend, he'sl an absolute legend. i think his contribution i is more than invaluable. # i want to thank you. and just listen to his voice. not many voices i think are so identifiable as his. # hoo, yeah, yeah. i mean, for a producer, that must be like a dream to work with. i think when you get a singer. who has their own voice, to me, that's what it's all about. there's a colour in his voice which you can't emulate. i also singing on the record, some very special guests, each with first hand experience of dementia care. i look after a home with 65 residents, all living with dementia. and we can't overestimate the power of music. so we have some people that aren't expressive verbally, but when it comes to music and song, they sing word perfect, it's incredible. i'm basically here because my mum's got alzheimer's dementia.
6:39 am
she got that at age 59, quite early onset, which is quite young. that wasjust over eight years ago now. and me and my twin sister have been her carers since since then. and i wish my mum could see this. she loves tony christie as well. the carers already know that tony's recorded his vocals but they don't know who else. and you're going to try and guess who it is. # and if you threw a party. sting, oh, my god! ooh, it's sting. sting, isn't it? sting, yeah. you're going to be on a record with sting. wow! completely unbelievable. yeah, it's a surprise! # and when getting older with walking canes and shades of grey. it's just such an honour and such a worthy cause. # i want to thank you. my mum has alzheimer's, and obviously it's a terrifying
6:40 am
disease, it's very sad. but what we forget about sometimes is the joy. and my focus with my mum is bringing joy to her as her carer and focusing on the fun times and having as many of those as we can. singing especially brings that out. # thank you for being a friend # i wanna thank you. honestly, the most incredible experience that i've ever- been able to go through. it's like bucket list, - yep, yes, i'm in a song! i hope that it can bring everyone together because music- is such a powerful tool. oh my goodness, today has been the most amazing but the most humbling experience, to be involved with, with tony and so many other stars, wonderful musicians, but also carers and people who've experienced dementia, but doing it in such a joyful and musical way. # i wanna thank you
6:41 am
thank you for being a friend. what a weekend, how are you both feeling? fabulous, absolutely over the moon with everything. july 2nd, sunday, thank you day, what do you now want people to do? just listen to music and sing the song. it's wonderful. it's such a healing thing, music. not again! # thank you for being a friend. people? lovely people. tony christie and gez ossai who you saw in that film, will be joining us on the sofa just after eight.
6:42 am
time for a look at the weather. here's carol. that said to the beach! we have got our bucket and spade! —— lets head to the beach! good morning. it is a mild start for many of us but we have some sunshine in the east but it is going to cloud over and most of us will have a cloudy day with some rain. the rain is courtesy of this weather front which is a warm front, and as it moves in behind it we are going to start to pull in humid air. they do in the cold front comes in, behind that, the air will turn fresher. some sunshine to start the day in eastern areas, before the cloud comes in and here is our warm front introducing this rain. already in northern ireland, scotland and north—west england, it will be pushing east, the heaviest rain will
6:43 am
be in the north, in the south it will be patchy and some southern areas could miss it altogether. the best chance in the south coast and the channel islands and also orkney. it is pretty breezy in northern ireland and western scotland, temperatures, it's going to turn increasingly humid through the day, 15 in the north to 22 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight, our weather front pushes of into the north sea. we are into that humid air behind it, cloud at times, drizzle, mistand mark on that humid air behind it, cloud at times, drizzle, mist and mark on the coasts and hills, and here comes the cold front. that will introduce some rain by the end of the night. 12 to 18 degrees. as we head through tomorrow, the cold front continues tomorrow, the cold front continues to come in, bringing rain with it sinking south and east, still humid
6:44 am
but fresher behind it. a fair bit of cloud around to start, one or two spots of light rain, the heaviest is coming out of the cold front in northern ireland and scotland into north—west england. behind it a mixture of sunshine and showers and feeling fresher, temperatures up to 18 degrees in the west but still a sticky 25 as we push down towards the south—east. on thursday, this weather front, the south—east. on thursday, this weatherfront, the the south—east. on thursday, this weather front, the cold front looks like it might develop a bit of wave so it could stall in the south—east, exactly where is open to question but we think it might be a bit further south, or west. but but we think it might be a bit furthersouth, orwest. but it but we think it might be a bit further south, or west. but it will bring some heavy and persistent rain for a time. eventually it should clear away through thursday leaving showers behind, they could be heavy and thundery. with a little ridge across us, settled conditions for many before the next weather front comes in across the north west. that
6:45 am
takes us into the weekend. on friday north west has rain, breezy and humid, and on saturday and sunday we are looking at fresher conditions, sunshine and showers, most in the north and west, drier the further south to travel. thank you, love your rainbow, carol. harrison ford has played daredevil archaeologist indiana jones for more than 40 years and he's about to unpack his hat and whip for one final adventure. indiana jones and the dial of destiny is in cinemas from tomorrow and our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba sent this report from last night's uk premiere. it's the return of one of cinema's best known action heroes and of one of the industry's most successful franchises. with disney hoping that indiana jones's fifth and final adventure will turn out to be... a final triumph!
6:46 am
the actor who's lived with the role for more than 40 years was on the red carpet, reflecting on the part that helped him become a star. you've, of course, said goodbye to beloved characters in the past, han solo in particular. how does it feel saying goodbye to this one? it feels, it feels right. because i'm satisfied with, so satisfied, so happy, so gratified that i was able to make this film. what i'm proud of is that it rounds out the stories that we've told, i think, in a really compelling way. they didn't get out the doors, get in the pool! in this farewell to the character, indy is, as ever, on the hunt for a powerful ancient artifact. archimedes was fascinated by water displacement... and he'sjoined on his quest by his goddaughter, played by british fleabag star phoebe waller—bridge. you grew up watching indiana jones on the big screen. what was it like then being part
6:47 am
of this and notjust a small role, this huge, meaty role alongside harrison ford? i mean, it beggars belief and still does for me. i think i'll only really be processing this many years later, but it's like a dream come true. lik,e the ten—year—old inside of me gave me the biggest high five when i was in the middle of this movie. it's cinema on the scale that i dreamt of when i was a young actor and just as a young person watching these things. the film also has a new villain played by mads mikkelsen. we've seen you playing bad guys before, most notably againstjames bond in casino royale. how does this one compare? it's different. i didn't watch james bond when i was a kid, i didn't watch star wars, i watched indiana jones. and i watched it again and again and again. so that is, it's got a special place in my heart. a new face, too, in the director's chair with james mangold taking over from steven spielberg. it's always pressure coming on and doing a big movie. how much more pressure
6:48 am
was it stepping into steven spielberg's shoes? well, of course it's pressure. but you realise in a way you're pinch hitting for babe ruth. you're stepping in for one of the greatest film—makers of all time. so the opportunity is really to collaborate with him and all the other greats on the movie. the original three films released in the 1980s are widely seen as classics. indy�*s archaeologist a perfect old style 1930s action hero. the big question is whether this type of storytelling still works with an aging lead character. the fourth film, with indy some 20 years older, didn't really meet with a rapturous reception when it was released in 2008. so harrison ford and the film—makers really want this movie to be seen as a return to form with harrison ford and phoebe waller—bridge's star quality... what are you doing here? rescuing you! ..helping it to fly high at the box office.

6:57 am
of groping her a decade ago. daniel korski, seen here on the right at a meeting last night with other tory mayoral candidates, hopes to stand for mayor of london next year. ms goodwin has told a newspaper that she was sexually assaulted during a meeting at downing street when mr korski, working as a special advisor to david cameron at the time, put his hand on her breast. more details of the story are on the bbc london website. in other news, nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition calling for the shepperton open water swim lake in south west london to be left out of a new flood prevention scheme. new river channels are being built as part of the river thames scheme, which aims to reduce the risk of flooding for more than 12,000 homes and businesses following floods nearly a decade ago. but campaigners have called for the lake to be excluded amid concerns of raw sewage flowing into the bathing area. the river thames scheme says

concerns will be considered. the roof of ealing hospital might seem like an unlikely spot for a growing bird of prey family to live, but peregrine falcons have made it their home. they've also just had two new chicks there, and all it's being watched around the world. the idea of putting a camera on the roof came after the birds arrived last year, and it's proved popular. last year, because they bred successfully here, we decided to put up a webcam so we could watch them raise their family 24/7 this year and it's been absolutely amazing to be able to see insights into their lives. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of brightness out there first thing this morning, short lived however, it will be replaced with some fairly
6:59 am
thick cloud which in turn could bring some spots of light rain and drizzle. it is in fact a warm front and that warm front as it moves through, it's going to replace the fresher air we had overnight and yesterday with something a little more humid again. like i said, a few spots of rain, nothing significant, temperatures today reaching 23 celsius. as we head into this evening and overnight, that front just starts to clear but we're left with the humid air. it is going to be quite uncomfortable, some spots not dropping much below 16 celsius. so a warm night, again, mightjust get one or two spots of drizzle as we head into wednesday morning. and as we head through wednesday, we will see the cloud breaking up, one or two sunny spells could lead to some heavy showers. then this cold front starts to move through and that could bring some heavier, more persistent spells of rain through thursday itself. but once it clears, something slightly fresher by the end of the week. go to the website to read more on

it's tuesday, 27thjune. president putin has made his first public comments since the mutiny by the wagner mercenary group ended at the weekend, saying any attempt to stir up turmoil in russia is doomed to fail. during a tv address, mr putin said the leaders of the uprising would be brought to justice. graham satchell reports. vladimir putin has not been seen since saturday, but late last night he called a meeting of his security chiefs. in an address to the nation he thanked the russian people for standing up to what he called treachery. translation: it was the patriotism l of our citizens, the consolidation l of the whole of russian society, that played the decisive role in these events. this support helped us overcome the most difficult challenges that our motherland faced. thank you for this. the dramatic events of the weekend saw tanks on the streets as the mercenary group wagner seized towns in southern russia,
7:03 am
and then headed for moscow. it looked at one stage like a full—scale military coup. but as suddenly as it started, it stopped. now wagner's leader, yevgeny prigozhin, has released a message on social media. he hadn't tried to overthrow russia's government, he said. it was just a protest to stop wagner being disbanded, and to punish those who had made mistakes in what he called the special military operation in ukraine. so what are we to make of all of this? russian state television said the country remained united behind president putin, and criticised the mutiny as a propaganda win for the west. but newspaper headlines in moscow are openly talking about russia's vulnerability, and an unprecedented challenge to vladimir putin. after24 years, i mean, you do lose your sense of reality. in a giant country like this, when everything is in the centre
7:04 am
and everybody is doing everything at your whim, you would be an incredibly great person not to lose your marbles. the skies above the black sea and pictures from the russian defence ministry show a british raf reconnaissance plane. russia claims it forced the aircraft away from its territory. the ministry of defence says the plane was in international airspace. on the ground, the latest pictures from ukraine show president zelensky handing out medals to soldiers who've been fighting in bakhmut. he described them as heroic and thanked them for their service. ukraine is slowly winning back territory in this war. it will hope the apparent chaos in russia will aid its cause. graham satchell, bbc news. we're joined now by our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford. sarah, you'rejoining us from warsaw but spent 20 years working in moscow.
7:05 am
what will the mood be in russia today? and what impact does this had going forward? i think ithinka i think a lot of russians will be frankly baffled by what has been happening. extraordinary scenes over the weekend. now the response of russia's president. i think certainly what president putin was trying to do was to reassert his authority. i think he knows very well that was dented by the events of the weekend. these armed men marching on moscow. we now know there were events on route that meant that the planes or helicopters were shot out of the sky and russian airmen were killed, russian pilots were killed. this was really very serious. he is trying to say he is still in charge, trying to support his defence minister, who this mutiny was apparently aimed against, but i think he is really scrabbling to play catch up, because his
7:06 am
statement came out after a statement by yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of this mutiny, who was standing by his decision, defending what he had done, defending his actions, talking about the disarray in the russian military, saying the war in ukraine was being mismanaged, keeping on with that message, that he is absolutely full of vitriolic criticism of russia's military. he is a man who remains defiant and he is a man who remains defiant and he is apparently still free. we understand that he has been offered, or certainly his men have been offered, the opportunity to go to belarus, the neighbouring country. this is, remember, russia, where critics of the war spending years in prison. other people who criticised the war spending up to 25 years in for treason. yet yevgeny prigozhin remains free. it is, i think, a sign of how powerful a figure he is, and perhaps i worried the kremlin is. and struggling to know quite how to

centralfigure, seen as to and during the pandemic. he was a central figure, seen as something of a bogeyman figure for some of the decisions made. he is not a minister now. he is not even a conservative mp. he is standing down at the next general election. today will be for him a chance, as he sees it, to clear his name personally. what can we expect? on the agenda i think it is crucial to remember this is the part of the covid inquiry that is about preparedness, so not decisions made during the pandemic. i think we will hear about questions about pp stockpiling. yesterday the royal couege stockpiling. yesterday the royal college of nursing said there wasn't enough stockpiling. we will also hear about social care. you may remember matt hancock talking about throwing a protective ring around our homes. those decisions about who to send will be discussed, but was there enough of a blueprint around care homes? we will also hear about the state of the nhs. where there enough nurses, doctors, even intensive care units? that is something we heard from the chief

7:10 am
the conservative candidate for mayor of london. she says it is because of that that she felt the need to come forward and provide some more details. she has written a piece for the times and one for the daily mail this morning, detailing her allegations, saying she went in for allegations, saying she went in for a meeting about a tv programme, that the meeting was flirtatious, and at the meeting was flirtatious, and at the end she says mr korski touched her breast. now she says she has come forward now with his name because she felt uneasy about the fact that he was talking in his campaign to be mayor of london about making the streets of the capital safer for women. making the streets of the capital saferforwomen. i making the streets of the capital saferfor women. i should making the streets of the capital safer for women. i should say we have spoken to daniel korski �*s campaign team. and we have had a statement from a spokesman for him, which says, "in the strongest possible terms dan categorically denies any allegations of inappropriate behaviour."
7:11 am
denies any allegations of inappropriate behaviour. " inappropriate behaviour." thank you ve much inappropriate behaviour." thank you very much indeed. _ the royal college of nursing will announce the result of a ballot later, over whether its members will continue walkouts until christmas, in the long—running dispute over pay and conditions. meanwhile, hospital consultants in england could strike on 20th and 21stjuly, if they vote in favour of industrial action in a separate ballot which closes at lunchtime. parents and carers of secondary school children are paying on average £422 per year for school uniforms, and nearly £300 for children in primary school, according to the children's society charity. it comes after schools across england were asked in september to reduce the cost of uniforms. a major cancer research project in greater manchester in memory of singer sarah harding, will look for early signs of breast cancer in young women. the girls aloud singer died from the disease aged 39 in 2021. one of her final wishes was to find new ways of spotting

breast cancer early, when it is more treatable. meal deals with a high fat, sugar or salt content will be restricted in wales under government plans to tackle obesity and diabetes. temporary price drops and multi—buy offers on the unhealthiest foods will also be banned under new laws that will be rolled out across wales in 2025. hywel griffith has this report. they are the default dining option for millions of people. meal deals grabbed on the go and priced to be easy on the wallet, if not always the waistline. in wales from next year, shops won't be allowed to sell the foods highest in fat, salt and sugar as part of a deal. not everyone finds that palatable. no, i don't think it is, personally. i think you should be able to have the choice and, you know, you can eat and drink what you want within reason, you know?
7:13 am
i mean, you can still buy it, but it might be more expensive. well, but you're alienating people, really, because people want what they want. there are way too many offers and things towards higher fats, and that is what people naturally go to because they think it's cheaper than fruit or veg. everything's labelled. you're making a conscious choice. so i think there's no need i to increase the prices, really. of course, all of these options will still be available. it'll be up to shoppers to decide whether they're prepared to pay more for the less healthy options. some changes are being planned in england and scotland too. but in wales the labour government is preparing to go further and faster. as well as stopping multibuy offers on unhealthy foods in wales, temporary price cuts won't be allowed either. ministers are convinced next year's change won't add to the cost of living crisis. we know that the vast majority of price promotions are on the really unhealthy, ultra—processed foods.
7:14 am
what we want to do is shift the market so that promotions are on healthierfoods, and also encourage reformulation of some of the most unhealthy foods, so that the easy choice is the healthy choice for people in wales. that would need a reset across the industry. so far, the response hasn't been favourable, with the welsh retail consortium warning the changes are irresponsible and unlikely to change the way we shop. hywel griffiths, bbc news. it is exactly quarter past seven. carol has the weather. good morning. forsome carol has the weather. good morning. for some of us we are starting off with blue skies, like this beautiful picture sounding earlier from this beautiful picture sounding earlierfrom north this beautiful picture sounding earlier from north yorkshire. this beautiful picture sounding earlierfrom north yorkshire. it is the east that is favoured for the blue skies first thing. it is not
7:15 am
going to last. clouds moving on. the other thing about the weather today worth noting is the pollen levels across parts of england and wales, which are still high or very high. here is the rain. it has been steadily falling across northern ireland, western scotland, getting into north—west england and also north west wales. it is going to continue to push eastward through the day. some of this rain will be heavy and persistent, especially across scotland, northern ireland and northern england, as we go through the day. as you can see here, there is still a bit of brightness, even at nine o'clock across eastern areas. in the west we have the cloud. in the south we are looking a patchy rain rather than heavy rain. notjust this morning but through the day. there goes the rain moving from the west to the east. they will be murky conditions on the coasts and hills, breezy too across northern ireland and western scotland, and it is going to be increasingly feeling more humid as we go through the day, 15 to about
7:16 am
22 degrees being the top temperatures. tonight the rain clears off into the north sea. still a humid night with a lot of cloud, murky conditions as well, by the end of the night another weather front is coming our way introducing summer rain. tomorrow that will be pushing across us. behind it what you will find is it will be fresher. ahead of it, underthis find is it will be fresher. ahead of it, under this cloud, find is it will be fresher. ahead of it, underthis cloud, it find is it will be fresher. ahead of it, under this cloud, it is going to feel quite it, under this cloud, it is going to feel quite humid. there is a theme. thank you. it's been more than a decade since pc nicola hughes and pc fiona bone were tragically killed when they were lured to a false 999 call in greater manchester. nicola's father, bryn, has been campaigning to keep her memory alive ever since. last year on breakfast, bryn launched his campaign for a medal to honour emergency workers killed in the line of duty. will batchelor reports. pc nicola hughes was killed while on duty in 2012, after being ambushed along with her colleague, pc fiona bone. since then, nicola's father bryn
7:17 am
has made it his mission to keep her memory alive. he set up a memorial fund supporting bereaved families, and he raises money for the charity by running marathons around the world. now he is calling for a posthumous award to be given to the families of emergency service workers killed in the line of duty. a similar honour already exists in the united states. and last year, bryn travelled there to run the boston marathon and meet people who had experienced a similar loss to his own. for bryn, it's a goal he is committed to, so he can wear a medal with pride in honour of his daughter. will bachelor, bbc news. bryn hughesjoins us now, alongside nick adderley, chief constable for northamptonshire police. morning. where are you up to with this? ,, . ., , morning. where are you up to with this? ,, . .,, , morning. where are you up to with this? ,, . , this? since we last spoke, i suppose from a personal— this? since we last spoke, i suppose from a personal point _ this? since we last spoke, i suppose from a personal point of— this? since we last spoke, i suppose from a personal point of view- this? since we last spoke, i suppose from a personal point of view i i

7:27 am
of inappropriate behaviour after he was accused by screenwriter and novelist daisy goodwin of groping her a decade ago. daniel korski, seen here on the right at a meeting last night with other tory mayoral candidates, hopes to stand for mayor of london next year. ms goodwin has told a newspaper that she was sexually assaulted during a meeting at downing street when mr korski, working as a special advisor to david cameron at the time, put his hand on her breast. more details of the story are on the bbc london website. the metropolitan police say no further action will be taken against a man they arrested at st pancras station in april after he didn't give officers the pin number to his mobile phone. the arrest was condemned by the national union ofjournalists after police used anti—terror laws to search the 28—year—old publisher

who'd arrived from paris. officers claimed he was arrested for obstructing their work. the case is to now be reviewed by the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation. the roof of ealing hospital might seem like an unlikely spot for a growing bird—of—prey family to live but peregrine falcons have made it their home. they've also just had two new chicks there and all of it's being watched around the world. the idea of putting a camera on the roof came after the birds arrived last year and it's proved popular. last year, because they bred successfully here, we decided to put up a webcam so we could watch them raise their family 24/7 this year and it's been absolutely amazing to be able to see insights into their lives. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of brightness
7:29 am
out there first thing this morning, short lived however, it will be replaced with some fairly thick cloud which in turn could bring some spots of light rain and drizzle. it is in fact a warm front and that warm front as it moves through, it's going to replace the fresher air we had overnight and yesterday with something a little more humid again. like i said, a few spots of rain, nothing significant, temperatures today reaching 23 celsius. as we head into this evening and overnight, that front just starts to clear but we're left with the humid air. it is going to be quite uncomfortable, some spots not dropping much below 16 celsius. so a warm night, again, mightjust get one or two spots of drizzle as we head into wednesday morning. and as we head through wednesday, we will see the cloud breaking up, one or two sunny spells could lead to some heavy showers. then this cold front starts to move through and that could bring some heavier, more persistent spells of rain through thursday itself. but once it clears, something slightly fresher by the end of the week.

7:31 am
is entrenched in the game and women routinely experience sexism within the sport. the two year long investigation by the independent commission for equity in cricket includes evidence from 4000 people including players, coaches and fans with 44 recommendations made to transfom the culture within cricket. it's forced the england and wales cricket board to apologise unreservedly for game—wide failings. i think to those individuals that have been discriminated against, excluded, all of those individuals, the game, the ecb, the game as a whole owes them a real genuine apology, a heartfelt apology as to the fact that this should be a game for all and unfortunately this report identifies the fact that it has not been a game for all. our findings are unequivocal. i think if the sport does not accept what is going on within cricket, and it continues to think as a some elements still do that this is
7:32 am
isolated pockets of discrimination or they think it is just banter, then it's time for them to wake up. because the reality is far from that. on the field england lost the one—off ashes test to australia. but despite defeat head coach jon lewis has told his side to go harder heading into the next match of their multi—format series on saturday. it was all to play for on day five, with england resuming on 116—5 at trent bridge but finished 178 all out. australia had the brilliance of ash gardner to thank who took all five remaining wickets as australia won by 89 runs. gardner's12 wickets made her player of the match. the defeat means england will have to win five out of six of the white ball games to win back the ashes. the next match is a t20 at edgbaston on saturday well, the cricket is coming thick and fast, the men's second test starts tomorrow at lords, where australia also have the advantage after winning the opener at edgbaston. for england, there are concerns over the fitness of spinner moeen ali, with 18—year—old rehan ahmed brought in to cover. despite the defeat, engalnd will continue to attack, even if it risks slipping further
7:33 am
behind in the series, a mindset ollie pope says won't change. and already the oldest manager in premier league history, roy hodgson will extend that record after agreeing to remain with crystal palace for another season. he will turn 76 three days before palace's first game of the new season, when they take on newly promoted sheffield united. he previously left the club two years ago his first manager's job was 47 years ago. good old roy proving age isjust a number. good old roy proving age is 'ust a number. �* :, businesses have faced some unprecedented economic challenges during the last few years, from the pandemic to the cost of living crisis. so is now a good time to launch a start—up and are there still opportunities for growth?
7:34 am
nina's been behind the scenes at dragon's den to catch up with sara davies and guest dragon emma greed, a business partner with the kardashians. can ijust say how nice it is to be sitting here like a dragon? i can feel the power and the cash oozing into me. is that what happens? it's the chair, you've got the best chair. that's what it is. i'm in yourchair. you're in my chair, i'm really struggling with this. you kindly lent me an extra cushion. don't give away the secrets. what are you looking for this series? what really, what always does it for me is when someone comes in and they can solve a problem. oh, yes, always. they can paint a picture of the real life problem and how their product or service is going to make your life better or take away a problem that you're having. and what's really impressed me is the way that people are really adapting to the changes in the economic climate, what's happened the last few years with the pandemic, more than ever you've got people hungry for it now and are really coming in fighting. and your business ventures that you've gone in with the kardashians on is quite simple.
7:35 am
it's sort of luxury comfy wear. how did you get that over the line with one of the most famous families in the planet? at the end of the day, anyone can drive a consumer to wanting to buy something once. but for customers to come back time and time again, you've got to create best in class product. and what we do at good american and what we do at skims isjust create the bestjeans imaginable, the best fitting underwear and shapewear, and we do it in an inclusive way. so we're really about serving all women, regardless of your shape, regardless of your size, regardless of your skin color. you know, i make underwear in nine different shades. have you had those moments where you've come head to head with a kardashian and said, "no, this needs to win out?" listen, we're like any other business partners, right? i'm in business with kim and khloe and kris, and we all bring something different to the table. and like any business partners, it's always about that tension. what do they think? what do i think? at the end of the day, we all do something very, very different and then we come around the table and create these really incredible businesses. is there still growth in that area, do you think, of casual clothes that are smart enough for people to feel
7:36 am
great about them instead of lying around in a tracksuit? because we saw that massive boom in athleisurewear, you were talking about your studio that you've built from home, is there still growth in those areas? well, you know, i don't want to blow my own trumpet or anything, but we're finding growth around, you know, $3.2 billion of growth. so we're good, it's working. you're doing all right? yeah, yeah. and it's so nice to feel lovely lounging around at home. who doesn't want to feel comfy in their knickers? and what about you, sara? because you were a student, weren't you, when you managed to save a bit of money and you spotted a gap in the market working with craft companies. do you think at the moment when there is a bit of risk aversion, people will think i am going to invest that, i think it was five or six grand you had, wasn't it? or do you think people are thinking more now, "oh, i just can't afford to take that risk"? and for a lot of people i see it now whereby they'll start businesses as a side hustle, working weekends, working on an evening, you know, starting the business as a cottage industry as it was. and it's always, when do
7:37 am
you take that leap? yes. and we see so many businesses come here in the den where they're coming in and they say, do you know what, i'm on that precipice. but the drive, the determination, the grit that it takes for someone to actually take something from idea to being something that's selling and figuring it all out. like, that is really what i'm looking for. and that's what separates a true entrepreneur from someone who's just like an ideas person. and there are no short cuts with that, are there? none whatsoever. there'sjust none, you've got to get in there and do the work. and is that why for both of you there is an element of paying it forward? you're involved in the 15% pledge of investing in black businesses. you're part of the entrepreneur's forum and support lots of women who are starting out. to an extent, is it still the case that it's who you know rather than what you know and your tenacity that counts? do you think there are certain groups that still need that support? i think there's undoubtedly groups that need that support. you know, the way i look at it, and i've really built businesses based on this principle that diversity is a superpower in business. you've got to see other people like you on a platform as big
7:38 am
as dragons' den like this and think, well, do you know what? if they can come and pitch in the den, then why can't i go and pitch in the den, or why can't i go and pitch for investment? if they've made a success of their business, i'm going to go and do it as well. we all need to see it to be it. seeing is believing. and with that in mind, has anyone come forth with an idea that can split a parent in two so you can forge your career, keep pushing your career, but also be there at the school gates and do your best for your kids? there is no place in this world for any sort of mum guilt. i am here being the best dragon i can possibly be today. yesterday i was being the most amazing mum at home. wasn't worried about what wasn't happening at work. you sound like you're doing it better than i am. i have four kids and i really believe this, as a mum of four and a working woman, you've got to get comfortable with a trade off. i think building women up to this idea that you can have it all and you're supposed to do it all, you're going to fail. that mum guilt is going to set in, you're going to feel like you're doing a bad job at home. at the end of the day,
7:39 am
it's a trade off. accepting that compromise is quite liberating, i think. i think so, yes, absolutely. we've got to give ourselves an easier time as women. i'm all for that. final question, we've talked about inflation being high, i'm just going on maternity leave. could i borrow just. .. take it, noone would know! help yourself! no, no, that's deborah's pile. do you want a bit more? take a bit more! where's stephen, take his money! go on, he'll never know, he's loaded. he's got plenty. i might take one while i'm at it! thank you, ladies, lovely to see you. thank you. brilliant! oh, hang on, that one has to go on the top. that's the one real money! there is one real one! i think you miaht be there is one real one! i think you might be on _ there is one real one! i think you might be on maternity _ there is one real one! i think you might be on maternity longer- there is one real one! i think you i might be on maternity longer than there is one real one! i think you - might be on maternity longer than we expected. i can imagine mina as a dragon. let's cast our minds back to 2006, when a unique invention slipped through the dragons' net. let me introduce you to a solution. meet terence and trixie, the world's first and only ride—on suitcases for globetrotting tots.

fortunately, the catches can be fixed. so, will you be able, sorry, that got my attention, what did you do there? it would get my kids attention as well! i is this a fall to catch one? no, you pull the hook off there. i've noticed that one. i shouldn't have done, though, should i? - ijust don't think it's a business opportunity so i'm afraid, i'm out. rob, let me tell you where i am. you've got problems with the product, you've got problems... they can be solved. yeah, but you shouldn't come here with problems that can be solved without either identifying them or sorting them out first. and it drives me mad that we actually waste our time with these things. i, too, am out. 0h, oh, dear! let's take a moment now. somebody is really enjoying that sitting next to us. rob law, founder of trunki joins us now. we saw him their pitching and being rejected, well, you showed them! i

7:47 am
a breezy day across northern ireland and western scotland and it humid wherever you are. temperatures, 15 to 22 degrees. this evening and overnight, the warm front pushes away into the north sea, still humid behind it, quite murky especially on the coasts and hills. some clear skies and the cold front comes in from the west introducing some rain across northern ireland initially. the wind also tending to ease. humidity, temperature 12 to 17 degrees, north to south. tomorrow, here is our cold front, it will continue to push slowly southwards and eastwards. ahead of it we will be in humid air but ahead of it, something fresh air comes our way. ahead of the weather front, a lot of cloud, murkiness in this coasts and hills, a little bit of drizzle, the rain moves in across northern ireland and scotland getting into northern england, north west wales through the day. on the other side

of the band of rain, we are back into sunshine and showers but feeling that bit fresher. that is represented in the temperatures, 18 degrees in the west but still sticky 25 in the south and south—east. on thursday it looks like this weather front could develop a wave in it so it could be moving backwards and forwards and install. if that happens, we could see heavy and persistent rain in the south—east for a time, the position could change. but we expect it to clear through the day and then some showers will follow in behind some of those could be heavy and thundery. there will be a lot of dry weather as well for many parts of the uk, and a fair bit of sunshine. before the next weather front comes in from the north west introducing thicker cloud and also some rain. it will be a fresher feeling day during the course of thursday. into the weekend, for friday, we will have rain once again in the north and west where it will be breezy and turning humid. saturday and sunday,

but as suddenly as it started, it stopped. now wagner's leader, yevgeny prigozhin, has released a message on social media. he hadn't tried to overthrow russia's government, he said. it was just a protest to stop wagner being disbanded, and to punish those who had made mistakes in what he called the special military operation in ukraine. so what are we to make of all of this? russian state television said the country remained united behind president putin, and criticised the mutiny as a propaganda win for the west. but newspaper headlines in moscow are openly talking about russia's vulnerability, and an unprecedented challenge to vladimir putin. after24 years, i mean, you do lose your sense of reality. in a giant country like this, when everything is in the centre and everybody is doing everything at your whim, you would be an incredibly great person not
8:04 am
to lose your marbles. the skies above the black sea and pictures from the russian defence ministry show a british raf reconnaissance plane. russia claims it forced the aircraft away from its territory. the ministry of defence says the plane was in international airspace. on the ground, the latest pictures from ukraine show president zelensky handing out medals to soldiers who've been fighting in bakhmut. he described them as heroic and thanked them for their service. ukraine is slowly winning back territory in this war. it will hope the apparent chaos in russia will aid its cause. graham satchell, bbc news. here is more of today's news. the former health secretary, matt hancock, will be questioned by the covid inquiry later, on the uk's resilience and preparedness for the pandemic. we're joined now by our
8:05 am
correspondent ellie price. ellie, what can we expect from today? we can see the cameras are already gathering. we can see the cameras are already anatherin. . we can see the cameras are already antherinn. . ~ we can see the cameras are already nantherin. . ~ . gathering. yeah, i think it will be a bin da gathering. yeah, i think it will be a big day here — gathering. yeah, i think it will be a big day here at _ gathering. yeah, i think it will be a big day here at the _ gathering. yeah, i think it will be a big day here at the covid - gathering. yeah, i think it will be i a big day here at the covid inquiry. last week we heard from david cameron and george osborne, then prime minister and chancellor in the years running up to the pandemic. we also heard from oliver dowden and the chancellorjeremy hunt about decisions made, striking a more conciliatory tone about some of the decisions made by the government in terms of planning. none of those people were key figures in decision—making during the pandemic. matt hancock was. he became something of a bogeyman figure i think for some of the perceived failings of the government during the pandemic. i think he will want to in some ways see himself as clearing his name. he is no longer a minister. he is not even a conservative mp. he is standing down at the next election. i think you won't exactly be pulling his punches
8:06 am
in his evidence today. what are we likely to hear? well, remember this part of the inquiry is about to so we won't hear about decisions made during the pandemic. but yes, i think we will hear about ppe, protective equipment nurses and nhs staff, why was that not stockpiled as the royal college of nursing is accused the government of yesterday? we will also hear about the social care sector. matt hancock talked about throwing a protective ring around the social care sector. there will be a question about the blueprint for that. there will also be questions about the state of the nhs going into the pandemic in terms of nursing staff, doctors, even the number of intensive care beds made available. some tough questions for matt hancock to face today. he was in i'm a celebrity.... he did all right. but i think compared to eating something rather unpleasant of that came from a kangaroo, he might find today even more uncomfortable.—

8:08 am
groped in downing street. he has now said the person responsible was then an adviser to david cameron, a man called daniel korski. now the allegation is that they were in a meeting, that of the meeting was flirtatious, and that when the meeting finished mr korski touched her on the breast. she says she is naming him now because he is one of the favourites to be the conservative candidate to be mayor of london in the mayoral election next year. and in a piece that she has written for the daily mail this morning, she says she thinks there is an irony that mr korski has been pledging to make london's streets safer for pledging to make london's streets saferfor women, pledging to make london's streets saferforwomen, giving pledging to make london's streets saferfor women, giving her experience. now i should say we have gone to daniel korski for comment. a spokesman for him has told the bbc that, in the strongest possible terms, daniel korski categorically

denies any allegation of inappropriate behaviour. denies any allegation of ina- n-roriate behaviour. . ,, , ., the royal college of nursing will announce the result of a ballot later, over whether its members will continue walkouts until christmas, in the long—running dispute over pay and conditions. meanwhile, hospital consultants in england could strike on 20th and 2istjuly, if they vote in favour of industrial action in a separate ballot which closes at lunchtime. parents and carers of secondary school children are paying on average £422 per year for school uniforms and nearly £300 for children in primary school, according to the children's society charity. it comes after schools across england were asked in september to reduce the cost of uniforms. meal deals with a high fat, sugar or salt content will be restricted in wales under government plans to tackle obesity and diabetes.

temporary price drops and multi—buy offers on the unhealthiest foods will also be banned under new laws that will be rolled out across wales in 2025. a woman has set a new record for scaling all of scotland's munros in 31 days and ten hours. there are nearly 300 of them. 43—year—old ultra—runner jamie aarons completed the challenge to raise money for charity and beat the previous record by more than 12 hours. she climbed 459,000 feet — that's the equivalent of climbing mount everest 16 times. i think she deserves a sit down, doesn't she? well done. i don't know if it is
8:11 am
climbing weather today, but carol can tell us what the weather is going to be like. good morning. i can tell you it is quite a cloudy start. look at the satellite picture. some eastern areas that were starting off with some sunshine. but this cloud has been producing rain this morning across northern ireland, western scotland, northern england and north wales. you can see it is steadily pushing over towards the east and will continue to do so through the rest of this morning. now as we move down towards the south what you will find is that although it is cloudy in places, and quite murky on the coasts and hills, the rain is lighter. we still have some bits of suntan first thing. but for northern ireland, northern england and also for scotland, the rain is going to be heavier, it will be more persistent, and it will continue to push from the west towards the east through the day. also rather breezy across northern ireland and western scotland. as this weather front moves from the west towards the east, it is actually a warm front, you will find that increasingly it
8:12 am
is going to turn much more humid. these are or temperatures. 15 in the north, to 22 in the south. as we had on through the evening and overnight, there goes that warm front. behind it we are still in the humid air. quite a bit of cloud around. murky on the coasts and hills. that is —— then there is a change. the next weatherfront bringing rain to northern ireland. it is a cold front. as we go through the course of tomorrow, the cold front will bring in the rain across northern ireland, scotland, pushing south—east through the day. a lot of cloud out of it. maybe some drizzle coming out of that cloud. ahead of it we are still in the humid air. behind this weather front it is a return to sunshine and showers. you will notice a difference because we have got a change of air mass. it will feel pressure —— it will feel fresher in scotland and northern ireland. after revealing his dementia diagnosis earlier this year, the singer tony christie told breakfast it was not going to hold him back. true to his word, he's recorded a very special song
8:13 am
on behalf of the music for dementia campaign for this year's thank you day, which aims to recognise the work done by britain's unsung carers. tony hinted to us that a stellar musician would be joining him. and today, we can reveal that singer is none other than sting. tim muffettjoined then for the recording. # well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me # and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. british grove recording studios in west london. # and float away. where friendship... # the milky way. and music... # as we ascend. are coming together. tony, to have sting here, it must be amazing. it is, and the reason, yeah, god, good god. i'm standing with a legend.
8:14 am
no, i'm standing with a legend! cancelling each other out, two legends. # thank you for being a friend. the song is thank you for being a friend, a hit in 1978 for andrew gold. # your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. the idea is to re—record it for thank you day onjuly 2nd. # i want to thank you. and to raise awareness and money for dementia charities. # thank you for being a friend. i mean, i have the beginnings of dementia, so this is why i'm involved. and i'm just proud that people are helping and it's making people think about it and not be ashamed of it. # well, have no fear, even though it's hard to hear # i will stand real close and say... well, sting, you know a thing or two about charity singles, you sang, of course,
8:15 am
on band aid's do they know it's christmas, which was kind of the first one. do you think this one will make a difference? i don't know, i hope so, i hope so. itjust seemed like a very, very good cause. i know how important music is to people who suffer from dementia. people remember songs more readily than they remember almost anything else. so, you know, it's a battle. some people are fighting at the front line, but it may be a battle we're all fighting eventually. so i'm happy to lend a hand. # take a bow. tony has been really open about his condition. that's impressive, isn't it? i think so, it's right. people should come out and say, "hey, i'm suffering here, help me." yeah. it's quite exciting actually. it's building up now and i can feel it all coming together and it - gives you goose bumps. also performing, dan gillespie

sells, singer and guitarist from the band the feeling, and graham gouldman from 10cc. he was also in the band wax with andrew gold, the original performer of the song who died in 2011. we toured and we used to do this song live, so it's lovely to be a part of it. # i want to thank you. producer graeme pleeth has never worked on anything quite like this. i've been doing this- a long time and it's days like today, a bit surreal. and having someone like sting here recording, that's amazing, isn't it? it's absolutely extraordinary. he's a legend, he'sl an absolute legend. i think his contribution i is more than invaluable. # i want to thank you. and just listen to his voice. not many voices i think are so identifiable as his. # hoo, yeah, yeah. i mean, for a producer, that must be
8:17 am
like a dream to work with. i think when you get a singer. who has their own voice, to me, that's what it's all about. there's a colour in his voice which you can't emulate. i also singing on the record, some very special guests, each with first hand experience of dementia care. i look after a home with 65 residents, all living with dementia. and we can't overestimate the power of music. so we have some people that aren't expressive verbally, but when it comes to music and song, they sing word perfect, it's incredible. i'm basically here because my mum's got alzheimer's dementia. she got that at age 59, quite early onset, which is quite young. that wasjust over eight years ago now. and me and my twin sister have been her carers since then. and i wish my mum could see this. she loves tony christie as well. the carers already know that
8:18 am
tony's recorded his vocals but they don't know who else. and you're going to try and guess who it is. # and if you threw a party. sting, oh, my god! ooh, it's sting. sting, isn't it? sting, yeah. you're going to be on a record with sting. wow! completely unbelievable. yeah, it's a surprise! # and when you're getting older with walking canes and shades of grey. it's just such an honour and such a worthy cause. # i want to thank you. my mum has alzheimer's, and obviously it's a terrifying disease, it's very sad. but what we forget about sometimes is the joy. and my focus with my mum is bringing joy to her as her carer and focusing on the fun times and having as many of those as we can. singing especially brings that out. # thank you for being a friend # i wanna thank you.
8:19 am
honestly, the most incredible experience that i've ever- been able to go through. it's like bucket list, - yep, yes, i'm in a song! i hope that it can bring everyone together because music- is such a powerful tool. oh my goodness, today has been the most amazing but the most humbling experience, to be involved with, with tony and so many other stars, wonderful musicians, but also carers and people who've experienced dementia, but doing it in such a joyful and musical way. # i wanna thank you what a weekend, how are you both feeling? fabulous, absolutely over the moon with everything. july 2nd, sunday, thank you day, what do you now want people to do?

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, i'm asad ahmad. conservative london mayoral hopeful, daniel korski has denied allegations "in the strongest possible terms" of inappropriate behaviour after he was accused by screenwriter and novelist daisy goodwin of groping her a decade ago. daniel korski, seen here on the right at a meeting last night with other tory mayoral candidates, hopes to stand for mayor of london next year. ms goodwin has told a newspaper that she was sexually assaulted during a meeting at downing street when mr korski, working as a special advisor to david cameron at the time, put his hand on her breast. more details of the story are on the bbc london website. the metropolitan police say no further action will be taken against a man they arrested at st pancras station in april after he didn't give officers the pin number to his mobile phone. the arrest was condemned
8:29 am
by the national union ofjournalists after police used anti—terror laws to search the 28—year—old publisher who'd arrived from paris. officers claimed he was arrested for obstructing their work. the roof of ealing hospital might seem like an unlikely spot for a growing bird—of—prey family to live but peregrine falcons have made it their home. they've also just had two new chicks there and all of it's being watched around the world. the idea of putting a camera on the roof came after the birds arrived last year and it's proved popular. last year, because they bred successfully here, we decided to put up a webcam so we could watch them raise their family 24/7 this year and it's been absolutely amazing to be able to see insights into their lives. let's take a look at the tubes now.
8:30 am
now onto the weather with kate. good morning. there is a little bit of brightness out there first thing this morning, short lived however, it will be replaced with some fairly thick cloud which in turn could bring some spots of light rain and drizzle. it is in fact a warm front and that warm front as it moves through, it's going to replace the fresher air we had overnight and yesterday with something a little more humid again. like i said, a few spots of rain, nothing significant, temperatures today reaching 23 celsius. as we head into this evening and overnight, that front just starts to clear but we're left with the humid air. it is going to be quite uncomfortable, some spots not dropping much below 16 celsius. so a warm night, again, mightjust get one or two spots of drizzle as we head into wednesday morning. and as we head through wednesday, we will see the cloud breaking up, one or two sunny spells could lead to some heavy showers. then this cold front starts to move through and that could bring some heavier, more persistent spells of rain through thursday itself. but once it clears, something slightly fresher by the end of the week.
8:31 am
on our website, there's a piece about a man who was trafficked to london for his kidney and who's now been forced into hiding. it's part of a file on four investigation for bbc radio 4 tonight at eight. tune in on the bbc sounds app. hello, this is breakfast withjon and sally. with the rising cost of living causing the price of food and fuel to soar, there's concern about whether supermarkets are doing enough to stop you paying more at the till. that's what mps will be asking supermarket bosses today, ben has more details.

what are they going to say? that is a bin what are they going to say? that is a big question. _ what are they going to say? that is a big question, what _ what are they going to say? that is a big question, what are _ what are they going to say? that is a big question, what are they - what are they going to say? that is a big question, what are they going to do. we have all been there, you get to the supermarket gets to the checkout and think, how much? this is something we've spoken about a lot, how much more you're paying at the tills for your everyday food shopping compared to last year. and today mps will the quizzing the bosses of the big four supermarkets about what they're doing to bring those prices down and how quickly. new figures out this morning show that supermarket food prices at the start of this month were 14.6% higher than a year ago. that's less than the 15.lr% rise in may but it still shows prices are rising rapidly. remember that's the average, so some items in your basket or trolley have gone up even more sharply over the past 12 months. in may last year, a dozen eggs would have set you back on average £2.53. last month, it was £3.26,
8:33 am
up 29% in a year. how about a two pint bottle of semi skimmed milk? last year, £1.01. and lastly, cheddar cheese, which per kilo last year cost £6.99. this year that is up to £9.65 a kilo, up a staggering 38%. so can something be done to stop these prices rising so rapidly? there's concern among food industry experts that these price rises won't be slowing down anytime soon. in the uk, the grocery retail market is probably— in the uk, the grocery retail market is probably the most competitive in the world — is probably the most competitive in the world. and that's something that has existed _ the world. and that's something that has existed for probably about the past 15_ has existed for probably about the past 15 or— has existed for probably about the past 15 or 20 years. there is no sign _ past 15 or 20 years. there is no sign of— past 15 or 20 years. there is no sign of that— past 15 or 20 years. there is no sign of that competitiveness changing. yes, there is inflation,
8:34 am
but that— changing. yes, there is inflation, but that is— changing. yes, there is inflation, but that is not driven by any of the retailers. — but that is not driven by any of the retailers, that's driven by what has been _ retailers, that's driven by what has been seen — retailers, that's driven by what has been seen happening on a global scale _ the supermarkets say they are cutting prices. just yesterday sainsbury�*s announced £15 million of price cuts. morrisons and tesco have cut the price of basic items, and asda says it's freezing the prices of more than 500 products until the end of august. but we can expect mps to call for them to go further faster to ease the cost of living for households around the country. this would be a big thing in easing the cost of living pressures that many households are feeling. thank ou, ben. for many of us, it's one of the most soothing sounds on the radio. northerly or north—easterly, five to seven, fair, good. northwest fitzroy, southwest... that is, of course, the shipping forecast. but that famous list of 31 names has extra significance
8:35 am
for katie carr. she's attempting to paddle a kayak in many of those waters, to complete a challenge which was started by her late brother, toby. jemma woodman has the story. five years ago, toby carr embarked upon a truly original adventure. i'm off. over the next year i'm going to kayak in all of the areas of the shipping forecast. and now the shipping forecast issued by the met office on behalf of the maritime and coastguard agency. he even had a book deal, and when he'd finish, he'd publish his story. southeast seven to severe gale nine, occasionally poor until later. but toby had a life—limiting illness. toby was born with fanconi anaemia. one of the things that happens
8:36 am
if those patients survive childhood is that as an adult they have more propension towards cancer. all of us tried not to think about it. more than anything else, it was about living life as fully as possible. his sister, katie carr, will finish his mission. yeah, so this is the first time in this kayak. and it's really exciting, at the same time a little bit emotional, because i know that the last person who sat in this was toby. setting out from flushing, she has ten areas left of the shipping forecast to kayak. if you suddenly feel you might fall in, you just do that, it mightjust save you. but you've got to have your elbows up, really. friend julie is giving lessons. the next stop is going to be ireland, and doing all of the irish sea areas that he never got out to. i'm a beginner, so i'm having to learn as i go along. and there was another challenge — toby's unfinished book. found his notebooks,
8:37 am
and started to realise that with that, with the voice recordings, the photos, i could piece it together. variable, three to four. fair, good, becoming moderate later. the shipping forecast is something which had real meaning, and he was also trying to deal with the grief from losing our brother marcus. he had the same illness as toby. toby died of liver cancer. and that was — again, it was a result of fanconi's. when we were kids, we were often told that we wouldn't live longer than 30 and the life expectancy is quite short. so i think that obviously puts in your mind a sense of determination to try and get the most out of things. toby was a0 when he died last year. so toby never knew i would finish
8:38 am
the book or the journey. he'd just be delighted that his story was going to be told and that people could feel inspired to get outside, to get in a kayak, to even think, ok, i've got a terminal illness or a life limiting illness, what can i do within those limits? and i think he'd just be delighted. "like many others, i often listen to the shipping forecast to drift off to sleep at night. and while the names of distant places drift in and out of my comprehension, somewhere out there, someone will be on the water." katie carr ending that report byjemma woodman. john is here with the sport and are really quite disturbing cricket report. really quite disturbing cricket re nort. . . really quite disturbing cricket re-ort. , , ., . . report. yes, this long-awaited re nort report. yes, this long-awaited report into _ report. yes, this long-awaited report into the _ report. yes, this long-awaited report into the state _ report. yes, this long-awaited report into the state of - report. yes, this long-awaited report into the state of cricket | report into the state of cricket which imitates the widespread and deep—rooted issues facing the game at the moment. i!!! deep—rooted issues facing the game
8:39 am
at the moment. 111! issues coming out of it and there is the hope that this release will prompt a bit of a reset in the game of cricket. that report by the independent commision for equity in cricket has found racism is entrenched in the game, and that women routinely experience sexism and misogyny. with the findings leading to an apology by the england and wales cricket board. as our sports editor dan roan reports. for england's cricket teams, this is a summer to be savoured. both men's and women's sides hosting ashes series. but the sport now faces a reckoning after a damning report laid bare entrenched discrimination. the woman who led the independent commission for equity in cricket told me the game needed urgent reform. i think it's a watershed moment for cricket, i really do. our findings are unequivocal. racism, sexism, class—based discrimination, and elitism are widespread and deep—rooted throughout the game. the stories were absolutely horrific, and it goes to show that the culture in cricket is rotten. the report called holding up
8:40 am
a mirror to cricket heard from more than 4000 people, with 50% saying they had experienced discrimination in the game. 75% of those who suffered it did not report it to the cricket authorities. i think the first thing i need to do, dan, is to apologise. and that's the first recommendation that the report made. so i think to those individuals that have been discriminated against, excluded, all of those individuals, the game, the ecb, the game as a whole owes them a real genuine apology, a heartfelt apology as to the fact that this should be a game for all and unfortunately this report identifies the fact that it has not been a game for all. among many failings, the report found that women were treated as subordinate and second—class citizens, routinely experiencing sexism. that there was little to no focus on addressing class barriers with scarce provision of cricket in state schools. that a heavy drinking culture excludes many people. and that the ecb had failed to support black cricket.
8:41 am
maurice chambers came to essex from jamaica as a teenager and said he experienced racism at the club. an investigation is ongoing. he wonders if young black players will even consider cricket as a career. how many people of my background do you see playing professional cricket now, these days? there's not many of them, are there? is this the kind of stuff i'm going to be faced whenever, whatever club that i will be playing for? nobody wants that. tomorrow, lords will welcome a full house for the start of the second men's ashes test, one of the highlights of the sporting calendar. but alongside the excitement, the game is also now reeling after one of the most chastening reports to rock english sport in recent years. the game was already under scrutiny over the yorkshire racism scandal exposed by the county's former spinner azeem rafiq. now with this fresh report making 111! recommendations including an independent regulator, the ecb has three months to come up
8:42 am
with a plan to salvage trust across the whole of the sport. dan roan, bbc news. well, tomorrow the second ashes test gets under way at lord's. 18—year—old rehan ahmed could be named in the england team today who are 1—0 down against australia, with the fitness of moeen ali the issue. ahmed, who has only played one previous test, could be his replacement, with england preparing to go on the attack again, even if that risks defeat. we spoke positively again about the game, we spoke about what we did well in what we can improve on this week. there is no sort of feel fear of losing, that's something that this team is never going to have. if we go to heaven zero down, we will see it as a chance to win three having two and that's the mindset we want to have not to hopefully reward us over the long—running in this series. lots of tributes have been paid to the former scotland manager
8:43 am
craig brown who's died at the age of 82 after a short illness. he was his country's longest serving manager, in charge for 71 games, and the last man to take scotland to a world cup finals at france '98. he also managed preston north end and motherwell before ending his managerial career at aberdeen in 2013. and could this become the transfer tussle of the summer? manchester city have bid £90 million for england midfielder declan rice. but arsenal are expected to come back in with a counter offer. city are looking to replace ikay gundogan who left for barcelona. but where one of the most in demand players in football ends up is anyone's guess. safe to say though he is leaving west ham. we do know that, thank you very much. �* . we do know that, thank you very much-_ we - we do know that, thank you very much._ we are - we do know that, thank you very i much._ we are sure? we've been asking for your cloud photos this morning after we showed you this picture from the times online, it was taken by a photographer who spotted the dog—shaped cloud from a plane window.
