6:01 am
good morning. iam good morning. i am out of the very front and to get this prized position you had to be here two days ago, at a 7am on saturday morning. it won't be long before this lot are inside. that is wherejohn and carol r. yes, good morning. the big news on day one of these wimbledon championships is the withdrawal of nick kyrgios. the beaten finalist last year and the amount�*s singles is out because of a wrist injury after what has been an injury ravaged season. and will it stay dry? well, actually, we are expecting some showers this afternoon at wimbledon. for most, rain in the north of scotland, rain in northern ireland putting eastwards. behind all of that, sunshine and showers. a day for taking the brolly. more later. good morning.
6:02 am
it's monday, the 3rd ofjuly. it appears to have been a calmer night across france, after the family of a teenager shot dead by police said they did not want his death to spark riots. police made around 80 arrests overnight, down from more than 700 yesterday. five nights of serious unrest were triggered by the death of 17—year—old nahel m, who was shot point blank by police after failing to stop for a traffic check. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. nahel, the french algerian 17—year—old who was killed by a policeman. his death sparked a volatile week for france. one of anger, destruction and introspection. many of the teenagers taking to the streets in rage accused the country's police of racial profiling and heavy handedness, a charge policing unions deny. nahel�*s family have condemned the violence in an interview with the bbc. they asked us to conceal their identity for their safety.
6:03 am
translation: there are no words to describe how we feel. _ we just buried a 17—year—old. but we never called for hate or riots. this is not for nahal. what we want is justice, for the policeman to be sentenced for nahel�*s execution. that's a sentiment shared by these mothers, who yesterday marched in the diverse paris suburb of aulnay sous—bois. they called for justice for victims of police violence, and for an end to the riots. on sunday evening, president macron held a high level meeting to discuss this ongoing crisis. some in france feel he should introduce a state of emergency to contain the riots. others believe he needs to do more to address the root causes of them. a beefed up security presence seems to have led to a quieter night on the streets after nights of tension. things are calmer, but for how long? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, paris.
6:04 am
our correspondent chris bockman is in toulouse for us this morning. chris, what's the situation there? it has been a lot quieter. they have been arrested, there have been some scrimmages, but nothing like on the scale we have seen before. i am in the city centre right now. right behind me is the city hall. why is this important? because as you know about 200 mayors have been physically attacked at their homes or where they work, and there has been a call for everybody to assemble in the town hall to show solidarity. i expect that may day there will be hundreds here to see just what kind of reaction after the shock of what has happened, if there is anger, if there is a reaction from the people that they want things to be back in control again. we will see here in this square how people will turn up. this will be
6:05 am
happening everywhere around france at midday today. there are expecting thousands of police officers back on the streets tonight to ensure that what we have seen yesterday continues. chris, thank you. let's get more of the news from jon. rail passengers are being warned to expect disruption for the next six days, due to an overtime ban by some train drivers. 15 companies in england will be impacted. it's the latest action by the aslef union over pay. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. don't expect to see deserted stations like during strike days, but this action by train drivers could see widespread disruption. from this morning, members of the aslef union have started refusing to do any overtime. the ban will run until the end of saturday. so, six full days. 15 different rail operators are involved, which run services across england. they typically rely on drivers doing overtime to run their full schedules. many say they will be running a reduced timetable
6:06 am
throughout this week. some are cancelling the first and last trains of the day, and there could also be short notice cancellations. so the advice is to check before travelling. these passengers in leeds summed up the mood. we've got to go to college and i've got to get two trains. and when i can't get the trains back, i can't go to college, and then that looks bad on me, because my college is, like, why? i can't come in because of the trains. and it'sjust — i don't know, i'm fed up at this point. i mean, i can drive, but i don't particularly like it, you know, especially coming to a big city like leeds and being all familiar with it, you know. it's a shambles, isn't it? like, people use public transport to get to work, come back. - why should it affect us? it's affecting our wages. the dispute centres on pay. aslef has rejected an offer of a 4% rise backdated last year, and a further 4% rise this year. it depended on the union agreeing to changes to working practices. aslef doesn't have any more actual strike days planned. but the rmt rail union is also involved in a dispute, and has also
6:07 am
rejected a similar pay offer. it has three 2a hour walk—outs planned for later in the month. mark ashdown, bbc news. a group of conservative backbenchers has warned the government it needs to take urgent action to cut immigration, or lose public trust. the group — called the new conservatives — wants to bring annual net migration down from around 600,000 tojust over 200,000. they'll outline their plans later today. former civil servant sue gray — who led the report into partygate last year — faces claims by the conservatives that she may have broken ministerial rules. it's after she was cleared to work for the labour party later this year by parliament's appointments advisory body. but the conservatives say that she failed to declare her contact with the party over a potentialjob. at least three palestinians have been killed in israeli airstrikes on a refugee camp in the west bank. israel said it was targeting what it called militant infrastructure in the area.
6:08 am
the islamic group, hamas, called the airstrike barbaric aggression. water cremation is set to be made available for the first time in the uk. the process uses a mix of potassium hydroxide and water to break down human remains, and is considered as a more sustainable option. the met office is expected to declare last month as the hottestjune since 1940 — and the high temperatures have had a negative impact on fish in uk waters. the weather led to a huge growth in algae in our rivers and waterways, which starves fish and other creatures of oxygen, leading to multiple incidents of fish deaths. our climate is clearly warming. so what that means is that of the chance of having record—breaking months increases through time. if we
6:09 am
look at our statistics, we have had of the warmest february, the warmest march, the warmest april, the warmest may, the warmestjune, the warmest may, the warmestjune, the warmestjuly, the warmest november, the warmest december, all of those since 2006, eight out of 12 months. statistics like this tell us that our climate is changing and that our climate is changing now, and in particular that has a really significant effect on the extremes that we see in the uk. the actress, dame sheila hancock, has offered a reward after she lost a sentimental necklace. the chain holds four wedding rings belonging to each of her parents and from her two marriages to the late john thaw and alec ross. it's the start of wimbledon today. but while the tennis hopefuls will be getting ready to head out onto the courts, there's still fans hoping to get premium tickets. and they don't mind queuing to get them. fiona lamdin is at the queue for us.

6:13 am
east and across parts of wales, northern england, the midlands and into the south—east. it will be showery rain. that is what we could catch this afternoon at wimbledon. behind that, we are back in sunshine and showers. a day for hanging onto your brolly. it is going to be breezy as well. particularly in the south, with top temperatures up to 20 degrees. tomorrow, after a cool start, the rain moves a little bit further south across northern scotland. more persistent rain coming into southern england overnight. that is going to drift into the south—east. a where to start full wimbledon tomorrow. as that rain clears away from the south—east, all of us are back into sunshine and showers. not as breezy but still cool. cool, in fact, for the time of the year. thank you. back with carol throughout the morning. john will have the sport as well.
6:14 am
nhs whistleblowers have revealed the price they've had to pay for speaking up — risking their careers, livelihoods and their health. more than 25—thousand workers came forward to the national guardian's office last year — that's the official body in england supporting those who raise concerns from patient safety to bullying — and they say too many managers are still not protecting staff. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. triston was a senior eye surgeon for the main hospital trust in birmingham. he became a whistle—blower when he beat —— complained about a lack of nursing staff after he felt forced to use a non—medical colleague to help with an urgent operation. but he ended up being sacked and reported to the general medical council. they found no case to answer and an employment tribunal ruled he had been unfairly dismissed. they must have been a terrible emotional burden? it dismissed. they must have been a terrible emotional burden?- terrible emotional burden? it was re terrible emotional burden? it was pretty bad- _ terrible emotional burden? it was pretty bad- and — terrible emotional burden? it was pretty bad. and at _ terrible emotional burden? it was pretty bad. and at times - terrible emotional burden? it was pretty bad. and at times i - terrible emotional burden? it was l pretty bad. and at times i thought, this is the end of it. it’s

6:17 am
punishment would come. we had to disguise the identity of this doctor because they were so terrified of management reprisals. they also raised issues around patient safety, only to find themselves being the one investigated. these are their words, spoken by a bbc colleague. i've had sleeping difficulties. i’ge i've had sleeping difficulties. i've had counselling. it's been absolutely horrendous. it's made me more _ absolutely horrendous. it's made me more fearful, more anxious. so absolutely horrendous. it's made me more fearful, more anxious.- more fearful, more anxious. so how would ou more fearful, more anxious. so how would you describe _ more fearful, more anxious. so how would you describe the _ more fearful, more anxious. so how would you describe the culture i more fearful, more anxious. so how would you describe the culture then| would you describe the culture then at the workplace?— at the workplace? management by fear. at the workplace? management by fear- where _ at the workplace? management by fear. where does _ at the workplace? management by fear. where does that _ at the workplace? management by fear. where does that come i at the workplace? management byj fear. where does that come from? at the workplace? management by i fear. where does that come from? it comes from — fear. where does that come from? it comes from the _ fear. where does that come from? it comes from the top, _ fear. where does that come from? it comes from the top, the _ fear. where does that come from? it comes from the top, the executive . comes from the top, the executive team _ comes from the top, the executive team they— comes from the top, the executive team. they have been instrumental in causing _ team. they have been instrumental in causing it. _ team. they have been instrumental in causing it, yet they are tasked with trying _ causing it, yet they are tasked with trying to— causing it, yet they are tasked with trying to sort it out. and causing it, yet they are tasked with trying to sort it out.— trying to sort it out. and that cannot be — trying to sort it out. and that cannot be the _ trying to sort it out. and that cannot be the case. - trying to sort it out. and that cannot be the case. the i trying to sort it out. and that| cannot be the case. the main trying to sort it out. and that i cannot be the case. the main health care regulator, the care quality commission, and nhs england itself to oversee health service managers. leaders need to listen to those messages. leaders need to listen to those messages-— leaders need to listen to those messaies. ., ., , , ., ~ , messages. freedom to speak up iuardians messages. freedom to speak up guardians registered _ messages. freedom to speak up guardians registered a _ messages. freedom to speak up guardians registered a record i

6:19 am
the paper reports that health secretary steve barclay says he's willing to offer doctors a bigger pay rise, while calling for an end to consultant strikes, so that negotiations can resume. labour's plans to help improve schools is on the front page of the mirror. under their proposals, teams will be sent to work with teachers in underperforming schools, in the most deprived areas. the paper says keir starmer will outline his plans for education in a major speech this week. the daily mail is reporting on the suspension of three members of the marylebone cricket club, over altercations with australian players at lord's. the incident happened after england'sjonny bairstow was controversially stumped by australia wicketkeeper, alex carey. one of the most read stories on the bbc website this morning reports that the orkney islands could change their status in the uk, or even become a self—governing territory of norway. the council leader said orkney doesn't get fairfunding with its current relationship
6:20 am
within the uk. i think they are having a vote, or a discussion there, in the middle of the week. at one point in the middle of the 15th century the islands were given as a diary back to the uk. it belonged to norway. lots of people want to go back to norway. repay the diary. one story that caught my eye, this is interesting if you have a cat. vets are going to establish a new blood bank for cats. something we have not had in the uk before. cats are notoriously difficult to keep still. can you imagine making a cat give blood? anyway, it is going to happen. cats who are really poorly will be protected because there will be the first ever uk feline blood bank. quite an interesting piece in the times. normally alcohol free beer peaks just after christmas when
6:21 am
people are doing dryjanuary, that kind of thing. but according to this piece in the times, instead of dry january, we are going to have dry july. they see record sales of low and no alcohol beer over the summer. sales are up by 25% compared to last year. up sales of low alcohol beer up year. up sales of low alcohol beer up 23% compared with 12 months ago. and sales of normal beer falling. it is party people cutting costs, being healthier. in younger people not drinking as much. alcohol free beer doesn't taste bad. it takes ok. it takes ok. it used to be pretty rubbish, didn't it? now it is really popular. we are going to talk to you now about a story with a familiar face. ben west's daughter, lucy, was just 17 when she took her own life. her family say she loved sports, and now her dad is changeling that passion to raise awareness of suicide prevention. for the last week ben has been cycling
6:22 am
from john o'groats to lands end, joined by one of his best friends, andrew ridgeley from wham. tim muffett has been catching up with them. lucy was amazing. the most kind, caring, funny young person that you'd ever meet. an amazing granddaughter, an amazing sister. the most beautiful daughter you could have wish for. lucy west was 17 when she took her own life in 2021. for us as a family, we felt it came completely out of the blue. you know, lucy was having a cuddle with her mum in her bed three hours before it happened, and she went off to college and we didn't see her again. and in our most irrational moments,
6:23 am
we sit here and wait for the door to open and her to come back in. but she's not. lucy loved sport — swimming, running, even triathlons. and ben and some of his best friends are currently undertaking a gruelling bike ride, a 1700 kilometre route from john o'groats to lands end, to raise awareness and money for papyrus, the national charity for the prevention of young suicide. i mean, we're very tight as the group of friends. you know, ben and jo's situation wasjust — never experienced anything like it before, and so, it's one of those things you've got a group together with your mates, isn't it? so. yeah. — sorry for getting a bit tearful.
6:24 am
the biggest thing for us is coming to terms with what lucy is missing out on. and that goes for every young person that takes their life. amongst those taking part, andrew ridgeley, who, along with george michael, formed the band wham! in the early eighties. ben's a very, very close friend of mine. we wanted to support him. he suffered an unimaginable loss. i have been really surprised at the extent of which so many people have been directly, or indirectly, affected by suicide. it's going to be a long, tough, physical bike ride. what's the main thing you want to achieve? if we can just make a difference to one family, if there's one family that then has a chat with their daughter or their son, or one school teacher that thinks this child's struggling a little bit, i'll have a word with them, and something comes from that, then, as far as i'm concerned,
6:25 am
that's my motivation for it. time is not a healer, always. it's like it happened yesterday, every day. time allows you to cope better. it develops your coping skills. it allows you to put on the mask, as we call it, and hold it in place for longer. but underneath you're broken every day. and tim will be catching up with ben and andrew at 7.a5 and 8.a5 this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:26 am
hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. the battle against plans to expand the ultra low emisson zone will head to the high court this week. it's due to extend to all of london at the end of august — meaning more polluting vehicles will have to pay a charge. five councils have won the right to a judicial review on the consultation process. but it's not the first time that a scheme to clean up the capital's air has been challenged. i think there are things we can learn, looking back at earlier efforts to stop pollution. so most obviously, well actually, there was a congestion charge back in 2003 and then in the 19505, the clean air act. but you can go back to the 19th century and the building of the sewers in london. these were all at the time controversial projects, had their opponents, but of course, now, people just take for granted that these were the right thing to do. and you can read more about the arguments for and against the expansion
6:27 am
of the ultra low emission zone on our website. next, parking at airports. costs here are among the highest in the world. research by vehicle finance firm moneybarn suggests heathrow is the second most expensive place on the planet to leave your car, with fees of more than £250 for a week. gatwick ranked 5th at around £180. travel experts are advising holidaymakers to look for alternatives and deals with reliable firms. a rare cd by ed sheeran is up for auction in essex. spinning man was recorded by the musician while he was still at school and contains songs which later ended up on his albums. 21 copies are known to exist, 19 of which sheeran owns himself. it goes under the hammer later at stacey's auctioneers. let's take a look at the tubes now.
6:28 am
there's part suspensions on the district and and overground lines. and there are severe delays on the central line. there's a good service running on all other lines now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good afternoon. it's a dry and bright start this monday morning. some sunshine, but also some showers developing a little later. and we have quite a brisk west southwesterly wind, but like i say, some sunshine to start the day. the cloud increasing, those showers flying through on the breeze. could get one or two sharp ones, especially for the evening. could interrupt play at wimbledon. temperatures today getting up to 21 celsius. now any showers this evening will clear. so some late sunshine. but, through the night, again, the cloud will gradually increase and a band of heavier, more persistent rain arrives as we head through the early hours. the minimum temperature 10 celsius. so a wet start tomorrow. we have got an unsettled day for tuesday. that rain gradually clearing away through the morning but then we'll see some sharp showers to follow. again, rumbles of thunder potentially, but some sunny spells, too, for tuesday afternoon. still breezy. temperatures tomorrow getting up to 19 celsius.
6:29 am
now, as we head further through the week, there is a lot of dry weather in the forecast. can't rule out a shower but gradually we'll start to see the temperature get a little warmer as we head to the weekend. that's all from us for now. if you want to read any more on any of these stories, head to the bbc website or news app. we'll be back in half an hour. hope to see you then. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we ll find out if we've been paying too much for our petrol later today. the competition watchdog is expected to publish its findings on whether uk supermarkets are charging customers more than they need to for fuel. ben's here with the details. yes, a year ago we were talking about astronomical prices at the pump, weren t we?
6:30 am
connected with that. £100 to fill up your car in some cases. those prices have come down, as wholesale fuel costs have fallen but are supermarkets and other petrol retailers passing that on to us, as customers, quickly enough? the chancellor asked the competition and markets authority to investigate and it will release its report this morning. 2022 was described as the most volatile year for fuel prices on record. the price of petrol and diesel jumped by 50p a litre between january and july. that was the biggest ever increase in the average fuel price in one year. for an idea of how those prices have changed, look at this graph! there is a lot of detail, let me talk you through it. this red line is the price of
6:31 am
unleaded, the price we pay at the pump ? including vat, so some of this goes to retailers and some of it is tax. you can see it hit that high last summer ? nearly £2 a litre. that's because it followed the wholesale price — this line here. this is what petrol retailers pay to buy fuel in. it rose sharply because of the war in ukraine. it then fell and the pump price followed but is slightly behind and notice that wider gap between the two. and when you look at current average diesel prices, there is a bigger difference. thatis that is the difference between the pump price and the wholesale price. and just like with energy and food prices — when the wholesale cost falls, there's a delay before we see that drop reflected in what we pay at the till. but even so, analysts say the gap between the price at which supermarkets buy fuel and the price they then sell it has become bigger. the cma focus on the
6:32 am
supermarkets is correct. we've seen margins go up incredibly. the average margin, according to our calculations, is about 16p a litre this year, compared to 6p back in 2021. so just in two years, they've added 10p a litre margin on average, which is very, very difficult for so many businesses and drivers to cope with. the leading supermarkets say they have been working with the competition watchdog to give customers the best value at the pump, but in may that same watchdog said it felt some retailers have been deliberately maintaining a higher price margin on fuel than necessary. we will find out the truth of it, jon and sally, a little later this morning. we will keep watching. thank you very much. then there is the motorway service station prices, a whole new league. it is the first day of wimbledon. we already have a story. one of the big characters nick kyrgios withdrew yesterday. he
6:33 am
brings the drama. you nick kyrgios withdrew yesterday. he brings the drama.— nick kyrgios withdrew yesterday. he brings the drama. you 'oin us on the hill at wimbledon i brings the drama. you 'oin us on the hill at wimbledon this i brings the drama. you join us on the hill at wimbledon this morning i brings the drama. you join us on the | hill at wimbledon this morning where many will be watching the matches on the opening day of the wimbledon championship. many of them will have been here to see nick kyrgios play. his withdrawal is one of the big talking points on day one. lovely to be back at wimbledon, the ever present fixture in the british summer. thinking about the store cream, of course but sporting action will take centre stage. we allow ourselves this wonderful interruption, we will be glued to it all and we will wait to see whether one of the british players can take centre stage, allowing ourselves to be drawn in with the drama that will unfold over the next fortnight. he
6:34 am
wins this year is anyone's gas. willie bet against novak djokovic winning what would be a fifth title for him? —— will you bet. ben croucher reports. sport can be a very visceral experience. in sw19, it's not so much an attack, but a snuggle on the senses — the smell of the grass, the taste of triumph, that unmistakable sound of the summer. welcome to wimbledon. yeah. i mean, look where we are! it's beautiful. it's the epitome of not only tennis, but many sports, i think. it never gets old for me or the fans. winning doesn't seem to age the most
6:35 am
successful men's player either. but will we see another serbian script written into wimbledon's legend ? i'm aware of the numbers in the history. so that's another motivational factor, no doubt. but, you know, i also need to try to enjoy what i have and work hard for what i want. he's doing all right for 36. how about a scot with a metal hip? commentator: there is the murray hold. i the crowd will always be behind andy murray. his best days might be, too, but he's a man for the big occasion. commentator: and there is the sound of centre court that he's _ heard over so many years. different feeling, different court, you know, the history, tradition and everything. it's... yeah, it can be daunting stepping out on there the first time and i need to use that to my advantage. if you're after british success, look no further than alfie hewitt. he's got one glaring space in his trophy cabinet. will this be his year? it would mean a lot and hopefully one day i can lift that title.
6:36 am
i'll be very proud of the actual journey of wimbledon itself and the development that i would have had to have made to become a champ. the women's draw looks open. defending champion elena rybakina has been struggling with a virus. world number one iga swiatek has never gone good on grass, not great expectations. i'm not really thinking about the results as much as on other tournaments, i would say so, for sure, quarterfinals would be a great step forward. if we step back to last year, there was something missing — namely players from russia and belarus. wimbledon took a stance, it paid a price. now, once more, this is a grand slam that is open to all. it is the right decision for the championships this year. all of those athletes that are going to compete neutrally have signed the declaration, and we're confident that they will compete well at the championships and that we won't have any issues. as the all england club throws open its gates for another fortnight, hold onto your fans and your
6:37 am
umbrellas and soak it all in, for wimbledon is a tournament that will continue to give us all the feels. ben croucher, bbc news. here we are on the hill, henman hill where murray mania has gripped. lots of people will be watching on the screens. you can see centre court. that will stage the men's and women's finals. the big talking point, aside from allowing russian and belarusian players is the absence of nick kyrgios. it would draw many to the hill to see him play. a big character in the sport. he has had an injury ravaged season. he has had an injury ravaged season. he has had an injury ravaged season. he has pulled out with a wrist injury on the eve of this year's
6:38 am
tournament. it came late last night, that news was has been very open about his battles away from the court that his injury ravaged season continuing. he pulled out late last night. he made the final here last year, losing to novak djokovic. away from wimbledon, have you been gripped with the ashes? the final day played at lord's. england with a huge mountain to climb if they're to regain the ashes. they're 2—0 down in the series after losing the second test against australia, following a final day that was filled with highs, lows and plenty of controversy asjoe wilson reports. ben stokes played an innings at lord's, which was astonishing and inspiring even by his standards. nine sixes, 155 runs scored and england just 70 runs from victory when stokes finally aimed one way and the ball went the other,
6:39 am
into the hands of australia's wicketkeeper. more of him now from the morning session. alex carey's reaction was immediate here. seeing jonny bairstow out of his crease threw down the stumps. bairstow wasn't trying to run, clearly thought the ball was dead. law of the game applied and he was given out. australia thought it was fair. england's captain certainly implied he'd have acted differently. but i would have had to come to a decision. i would have to think about the whole spirit of the game and would i actually want to win a test match like that. and when i think about that, it's a no. some mcc members can reflect on how they acted in the privileged position of the long room, confronting and insulting some australian players during the lunch interval. england can reflect on another match when they competed but were beaten by a very good australian team. well, wherever the spirit of cricket may or may not lie, australia are definitely 2—0 up in the series with three matches to play.
6:40 am
and we begin all this again on thursday. joe wilson, bbc news at lord's. not long to wait until the third test gets under way. england with that mountain to climb. you wonder, will thejonny bairstow may then will the jonny bairstow may then become the will thejonny bairstow may then become the moment of this will the jonny bairstow may then become the moment of this ashes series? britain's adam yates is still in the yellowjersey at the tour de france, as the race prepares to leave spain and ride into france later today. yates will begin stage three six seconds ahead of his team—mate — two—time champion tadej pogacar, who moved into second place overall yesterday ahead of yates's twin brother simon. both yates brothers finished in the main bunch at the end of the stage into san sebastian, won by the frenchman victor lafay. and it could be a day to remember for mark cavendish on later on — the first two hilly stages haven't been suited to his style but the flat finish to today's stage could be right up his street. he's one win away from breaking
6:41 am
the all—time record for stage wins. dutch sprinter lorena wiebes won stage 3 of the women's giro d'italia, ahead of her fellow countrywoman marianna vos. annemiek van vleuten keeps the leaders' pinkjersey with six stages to go. plenty to discuss this morning. we are speaking to sally bolton on breakfast. we will be speaking to tim henman as well. he has filled this hill many times over with the semifinals he has made at wimbledon. all eyes on the british players who are in action today over the course of the first week of the championship. plenty of things to talk about meadow grass, strawberries and cream, the queue. one of the big things is the weather. carroll, are we going to get plenty of it on the opening day?
6:42 am
there will be quite a bit of it and some showers as well. you may have seen henman hill looking empty, also known as murray mound. later this will be packed as novak djokovic defends his title, noticeably the greatest male player of all—time. behind me you can see 2023 in all its splendour. it changes over the every year but always thrilling to see it for the first time. the sun is beating down. many others today, it will be sunny. the forecast for wimbledon is mixed. today will be breezy. looking at some time to start the day but then there will be showers into the afternoon, particularly around three p m to 5pm. temperatures up to 18, it may be 19 degrees. for all of us, the forecast is one of sunshine and showers and also a fresh breeze,
6:43 am
especially across england and wales. we have low pressure anchored toward scandinavia and we are pulling in our westerly breeze, quite noticeable as i mentioned, and we have also got a couple of weather fronts. in the north of scotland rain this morning which will persist. showery rain coming in across northern ireland drifting eastwards during the day. the of it and behind it we are looking at sunshine and showers. temperatures up sunshine and showers. temperatures up to and about 20 degrees, a bit below average for the time of year. tonight the weather front in scotland sinks further south and more persistent rain coming in across the south west of england, drifting east during the course of the night. still breezy and quite cool tonight. if you are thinking of camping out overnight to get into wimbledon tomorrow, bear that in mind. tomorrow we start with rain in the far south—east of england which were clear. showery rain easing across central parts of scotland.
6:44 am
then another day of sunshine and showers. also a shower at wimbledon tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow at 219 degrees at best, cool across the north of scotland. heading into wednesday, a drier day but still there is the chance of some showers. the greatest chance is in the north and west, the heaviest across western and northern scotland and northern ireland. the risk of a shower at wimbledon is much lower and not as breezy as it will be today. then, after that, it turns warmer, more especially southern areas. . ~' warmer, more especially southern areas. . ~ , ., y . areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready _ areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready for _ areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready for it. _ areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready for it. a _ areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready for it. a bit - areas. thank you very much indeed. we will be ready for it. a bit of i we will be ready for it. a bit of everything for wimbledon. from the newsagents, to your butcher and greengrocer, it wasn't too long ago these shops
6:45 am
lined your local high street. now, as more businesses disappear, that's no longer commonplace. but a museum in the west midlands has recreated an authentic row of shops, from the 19a05 to �*60s, to give people a chance to step down memory lane, as david sillito reports. # it's a lovely day today. # so whatever you've got to do, # you've got a lovely day...# welcome to dudley, and a reminder of what so many of our high streets used to be like. # whatever you've got to do.# so we've got black pudding. black pudding. we've got pork pies, bacon. ooh, nice looking back bacon there. absolutely. and some chitlins. you don't see those very often these days. some of the black country's best loved shops are once again open and looking their best. and, if a packet of spangles is a much—loved memory for you, this place is going to be an aladdin's cave of chocolate nostalgia. ooh, there's a smell of toffee in here. where are we? we're in burgin's newsagents. burgin's. yes. # it's a lovely day for singing.
6:46 am
# it's a lovely day.# massive crunchies. yes. and bounty. look how big the bounty is. i know, it's often people's least favourite chocolate, but very big. wow. you'd have to be hungry for one of those, wouldn't you? you would, yeah. why have you done this? so what we're trying to do with this project is recreating the high street from the �*a0s to the �*60s. so burgin's newsagents was the real heart of the community. it was famous. it wasn't a place you just came to buy a newspaper, was it? absolutely not. it was... it was the place for all the gossip. it also makes you feel quite... it's quite a sad feeling as well, isn't there, about what's happened? yeah, i suppose there's melancholy there that, you know, the high street as it was doesn't exist in the same way it did. but, yeah, i think that's the beauty of recreating something like this. you've got that nostalgia. it's within living memory. people still remember these buildings very fondly. # this is a lovely day today.#
6:47 am
dudley high street doesn't look like this anymore. no, absolutely not. this is spectacular. absolutely amazing. and unlike most museum exhibits, these are far from ancient history. steve and sandra, born and brought up in the area, soon began to recognise some old high street landmarks. marsh & baxter. yeah, they started in brierley hill in about 1867. oh, you know your marsh...? yeah, yeah. they're very well known. it was an empire, wasn't it? an empire? it was an empire, really, yeah. so this is a landmark. oh, absolutely. definitely locally, yeah. it was the best around. and everybody knew... everybody knew you. and i remember being sent as a little girl to go and get bits and pieces and they would know and ask about your family. and that's a bit lost at the minute, isn't it? nobody cares. personal touch, isn't it? yeah. yeah, absolutely.
6:48 am
a lot of empty shops these days, aren't there? a lot of empty shops, which is a shame. indeed. so much has gone. stanton's is now a betting shop, brierley hill's marsh & baxter is a nail bar. the next door bank is standing empty. and burgin's on wolverhampton street in dudley closed for good seven years ago. but cynthia burgin, here in the middle, who ran it for 56 years, is rather pleased her little shop will live on in a museum. congratulations on... thank you very much. your shop is a museum exhibit now. i know, i know. the shop the public will see in the museum is burgin's in 1959. there will even be a performer playing cynthia. but they won't be doing her seven—day working week. well, i started. i came here in 1959, age 29.
6:49 am
and you retired aged...? 85. wolverhampton street was an extremely busy area, where the trolley bus used to come along from wolverhampton into dudley and there was lots of shops. i'm sorry i'm the last one, but i knew these small shops now, they wouldn't. .. we couldn't carry on. and now? there is nothing. and while these are all shops from dudley and its neighbours, this is also a story of hundreds of similar places — the chit chat and charm of the high street, now a museum exhibit. david sillitoe, bbc news, dudley. isn't that brilliant? gorgeous!
6:50 am
spangles! i don't remember them. they were boiled sweets got wrapped with dimples on either side. ok. thank you for telling me! if you have memories of shops that have disappeared from where you live, it is notjust doubly committed every high street around the country. maybe a shop has been open for decades or a shop run by one family, like cynthia's. you can send us a message on whatsapp — the number is on the screen. you can still get in touch with us by e—mail and on twitter as well. here is a staggering statistic for you. nearly 2,000 royal mail workers were attacked by dogs while working

it's monday, the 3rd ofjuly. it appears to have been a calmer night across france, after the family of a teenager shot dead by police said they did not want his death to spark riots. police made around 80 arrests overnight, down from more than 700 yesterday. five nights of serious unrest were triggered by the death of 17—year—old nahel m, who was shot at point blank range by police after failing to stop for a traffic check. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. nahel, the french algerian 17—year—old who was killed by a policeman. his death sparked a volatile week for france. one of anger, destruction and introspection. many of the teenagers taking to the streets in rage accused the country's police of racial profiling and heavy handedness, a charge policing unions deny. nahel�*s family have condemned the violence in an interview with the bbc.
7:04 am
they asked us to conceal their identity for their safety. translation: there are no words to describe how we feel. _ we just buried a 17—year—old. but we never called for hate or riots. this is not for nahal. what we want is justice, for the policeman to be sentenced for nahel�*s execution. that's a sentiment shared by these mothers, who yesterday marched in the diverse paris suburb of aulnay sous—bois. they called for justice for victims of police violence, and for an end to the riots. on sunday evening, president macron held a high level meeting to discuss this ongoing crisis. some in france feel he should introduce a state of emergency to contain the riots. others believe he needs to do more to address the root causes of them. a beefed up security presence seems to have led to a quieter night on the streets after nights of tension. things are calmer, but for how long? rajini vaidyanathan,

7:07 am
running a reduced timetable throughout this week. some are cancelling the first and last trains of the day, and there could also be short notice cancellations. so the advice is to check before travelling. these passengers in leeds summed up the mood. we've got to go to college and i've got to get two trains. and when i can't get the trains back, i can't go to college, and then that looks bad on me, because my college is, like, why? i can't come in because of the trains. and it'sjust — i don't know, i'm fed up at this point. i mean, i can drive, but i don't particularly like it, you know, especially coming to a big city like leeds and being all familiar with it, you know. it's a shambles, isn't it? like, people use public transport to get to work and back. - why should it affect us? it's affecting our wages. the dispute centres on pay. aslef has rejected an offer of a li% rise backdated last year, and a further li% rise this year. it depended on the union agreeing to changes to working practices. aslef doesn't have any more actual strike days planned. but the rmt rail union is also involved in a dispute, and has also rejected a similar pay offer. it has three 2a hour walk—outs planned for later in the month.

mark ashdown, bbc news. a group of backbench conservative mps has warned the government it could lose public trust if it doesn't cut net migration, which currently stands at 606,000 people each year. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent nick eardley. what do these conservative mps want? they want the government to go a lot further when it comes to introducing measures that they believe would bring down immigration to the uk. so, for example, they want to increase the amount of money you have to learn before you can get a skilled worker's visa. they want stricter rules when it comes to study visas. they take some universities, poorer performing universities, poorer performing
7:09 am
universities come out of the study scheme altogether. they also want to do things like cancel the scheme, the temporary scheme that was brought into place to allow people to come and work in the kaeser direct mike kerr sector in the uk. thatin direct mike kerr sector in the uk. that in particular will be quite controversial because the care sector will turn around and say, look, we have a lot ofjobs we need to feel, how are we supposed to do that? the argument you will hear from a lot of conservative mps today is that of the government needs to go a lot further in delivering the promises it made back in 2019. and if it doesn't, it will erode public trust in the immigration system. there has always been a debate within government about how far to go on clamping down on immigration. there was a debate earlier this year between the home secretary and the chancellor about how far that should go. but this is more pressure on the prime minister to deliver some of the targets that the conservatives set themselves back in 2019. there
7:10 am
will be others who say you need higher levels of immigration to keep the economy ticking over, particularly when there are some shortages in some key industries. this is a really active debate. it is going nowhere. there are a lot of conservatives who just think the government is not going far enough. thank you. former civil servant sue gray, who led the report into partygate last year, faces claims by the conservatives that she may have broken ministerial rules. it's after she was cleared to work for the labour party later this year by parliament's appointments advisory body. but the conservatives say that she failed to declare her contact with the party over a potentialjob. at least three palestinians have been killed in israeli air strikes on a refugee camp in the west bank. israel said it was targeting what it called militant infrastructure in the area. the islamic group, hamas, called the air strike barbaric aggression. the actress, dame sheila hancock,

7:17 am
from knowle locks in solihull, one of the areas that was affected. this was really badly affected. you can see the run of locks here. five locks. a beautiful place. these canals are actually very rich with fish. 0r canals are actually very rich with fish. or i should say were very rich with fish. the hot weather, we are expecting it to be the hottestjune ever recorded in recorded history. so, that has actually caused a terrible fish death incident. the pumps you can see behind me are designed to try to introduce oxygen back into the water. as you say, we didn't see the highest temperatures ever recorded. nothing likely really, really high temperatures we saw last year, 40 degrees. the highest it got injune was 32.5 degrees. the issue injune was it was just consistently hot. day after
7:18 am
day, temperatures averaging about 25 celsius. so, i have been looking at how these high temperatures affect canals and rivers around the country. let's be honest, most of us enjoy a bit of warm weather. june temperatures are normally in the high teens or low twenties. this year they have consistently been in the 20s, and in some places, have even nudged into the thirties. but just look at what these exceptionally warm temperatures can do to canals and rivers. they helped drive an unusually high number of fish death incidents in june. thousands of fish died in a canal in oxford... ..in ponds in folkestone... ..and right outside the breakfast tv studios in salford. we see a lot of natural variability in our weather, clearly, from one year to the next. underlying this, of course, there is climate change happening. and what that means is that the likelihood of seeing warmerjunes
7:19 am
will increase through time. so, when we have these high temperature events, climate change means that they tend to be longer in duration, greater in spatial extent, more intense. the met office is expected to confirm that thisjune beat the previous record set back in 1940. and that means it was also hotter thanjune 1976, a year celebrated for its scorching summer. so, you really, really hotjune. the effects you have been absolutely catastrophic for the fish population. ralph wilkinson, you came here to try and solve this problem, didn't you?— came here to try and solve this| problem, didn't you?- you came here to try and solve this problem, didn't you? yeah. you are t in: to problem, didn't you? yeah. you are trying to introduce _ problem, didn't you? yeah. you are trying to introduce oxygen - problem, didn't you? yeah. you are trying to introduce oxygen back into the water. what is the level at the

7:25 am
to another, particularly domiciliary care workers. we're working with those organisations that represent and work with care workers to make sure every care worker who has a non—compliant vehicle, most of them had a compliant vehicle and get the support they need. and you can read more about the arguements for and against the expansion of the ultra low emission zone on our website. train passengers are being warned to expect disruption this week as drivers at 15 rail companies take part in an overtime ban. the action by members of the aslef union goes on until saturday — it's part of their long running dispute over pay. it's likely to affect people heading to wimbledon. commuters are being advised to check their travel plans before setting off. a rare cd by ed sheeran is up for auction in essex. spinning man was recorded by the musician while he was still at school, and contains songs which later ended up on his albums. 21 copies are known to exist — 19 of which sheeran owns himself. it goes under the

7:28 am
dead by police appealed for calm. trouble flared in the paris suburb of nanterre on tuesday, when a police officer shot dead this boy — nahel — a 17—year—old of north african descent. footage of the shooting was posted online. this triggered protests in the area that night, with more than 30 people arrested. over the following nights, protests spread across france and the number of arrests grew. on friday there were more than 1,300 arrests, and there were 700 more the following night. then on saturday the home of a paris district mayor to the south of the city was attacked, leaving his wife with a broken leg. overnight there has been a heavy police presence in cities right across france — 16,000 police officers were deployed to try to head off any further unrest. our correspondentjenny hill is in marseille for us this morning, which saw the worst clashes over the weekend.
7:29 am
jenny, a calmer night across much of france last night, was that the case in marseille? good morning. much quieter here in marseille over night. that is mirrored really nationwide. 78 arrests reported across the country last night. much, much quieter than it has been. that may be full several reasons. first of all you mentioned the 16,000 police officers deployed across this country's streets. nyel�*s family of course appealed for an end to the violence which may have helped. it looks as though it might be dwindling but it may not yet be over. look back to the race riots of 2005 which lasted for three weeks. president macron should have been waking up in
7:30 am
germany this morning, he was due on a two—day state visit, the first state visit by a french president for more than 20 years. it gives a sense of how disruptive it has all been he has had to cancel it. rather ironic the focus, the theme of the state visit is europe's youth and future. president macron was due to meet lots of young people, talking to them about hopes and dreams for their future to them about hopes and dreams for theirfuture in europe, instead he finds himself confronted by disaffected youth here at home. today he will meet with parliamentary leaders, tomorrow he will hold talks with regional mayors. for now the violence appears to be reduced and things do seem to be much quieter but there is of course the source of the problem, and that is something which president macron will need to get to grips with. president macron will need to get to uri -s with. . ~ president macron will need to get to

7:37 am
cities outside paris, like marseille. specifically to lose. strasbourg, even in the north of france. so it is like they are... thank you for your time. we appreciate it. it is the first day of wimbledon. john is there at the start of two weeks of competition. morning, the sun is shining for now. hetero; weeks of competition. morning, the sun is shining for now.— sun is shining for now. very good morninu. sun is shining for now. very good morning- we _ sun is shining for now. very good morning. we are _ sun is shining for now. very good morning. we are here _ sun is shining for now. very good morning. we are here on - sun is shining for now. very good morning. we are here on centrel morning. we are here on centre court, bathed in sunshine. the covers are off behind me. the beautiful green grass has been manicured throughout the year, ready to stage the opening match of the championships this year. novak djokovic has the honour, as the reigning champion at the moment to open up on centre court later. it
7:38 am
was here last year that he won his fourth wimbledon title in a row, by beating nick kyrgios. the big news this morning on day one of the championships, we will not be seeing one of the big personalities, the big characters of the sport. nick kyrgios withdrawing on the eve of the start of the championships with a wrist injury. he has had an injury plagued season so far. well documented injuries away from the court. he draws the eye whenever he competes. he will be a noticeable absentee. he was up against david goffin. what of novak djokovic? can he make it a fifth wimbledon title in a row. he will be aiming for
7:39 am
another success for a fifth year in another success for a fifth year in a row. he opens up here on centre court later against the if it goes his way once again, astonishing to think it would be grand slam title number 2a, their most by any player in the open era. water ran it would be for novak djokovic if he were to achieve achieve that this year. i try to remind myself that it's important to appreciate everything i have achieved, i have accomplished. i think media, you guys, always try to remind me of what it is to come, which is good, in a way what i have to look forward to. at the same time i think it is important to appreciate the moment in time i find myself in and hope for the best at wimbledon. a special year of course for andy
7:40 am
murray, ten years on from the brilliant victory in 2013. ending that wait for a winner in the men's singles. what can he produce to share with a metal hip to boot? six british players in action today. dan evans gets under way against world numner 79 quentin halys. meanwhile, in the women's draw, harriet dart is up first on court 12 against france's diane parry. dart is having arguably her best season yet after reaching the last 16 of all three of the pre—wimbledon warm—up tournaments, so is she feeling the pressure? it comes kind of naturally being at your home slam. of course. naturally people want you to do really well and equally i want myself to do well in this tournament, it's my favourite tournament. to be able to play in front of british fans, friends and family as well, it's pretty special. i've just got to focus on myself, what i can control and that is focusing on my first round match.

7:44 am
been! enter ruling action with england facing an uphill challenge if they are to try to regain the ahes. yesterday was a controversial day. england losing and they are 2—0 down. let's have a look at the big talking point from yesterday. this is the moment that has raised a big discussion about the spirit of the game. jonny bairstow thought the ball was dead, australia didn't, and took advantage of bairstow leaving his crease — bairstow out. that fired england up though, especially ben stokes. he hit 155 and looked to be guiding his side to an incredible win. but once he was caught, england crumbled, and now must win all three remaining matches to regain the urn. post—match, stokes said he wouldn't have acted in the same way as the australians in regards to bairstow�*s dismissal.
7:45 am
jonny came out of his crease to have a chat in between overs. i think if the shoe was on the other foot, i would say that i would ask the umpires, put them under a little bit of pressure. then we would have to come to a decision, i would have to think about the spirit of the game, would i want to win a test match like that? when i think about it like that, it is a no. the brilliant summer of sport continues with the tour de france under way. britain's adam yates is still in the yellowjersey at the tour de france, as the race prepares to leave spain and ride into france later today. yates will begin stage three six seconds ahead of his team—mate — two—time champion tadej pogacar, who moved into second place overall yesterday ahead of yates's twin brother simon. both yates brothers finished in the main bunch at the end of the stage into san sebastian, won by the frenchman victor lafay. dutch sprinter lorena wiebes won stage 3 of
7:46 am
the women's giro d'italia, ahead of her fellow countrywoman marianna vos. annemiek van vleuten keeps the leaders' pinkjersey with six stages to go. we were speaking to sally about her sport has been targeted by protesters this year. they managed to get onto the track in the men's a00m final at the diamond league in stockholm yesterday — holding up a banner by the finish line, which competitors ran through as they completed the race. elsewhere, there was a british 1—2 in the women's 200 metres final. daryll neita won it — with dina asher smith just behind her. fellow british sprinter reece prescod also had a good night — finishing second in the men's 100m. so the stage is set here at wimbledon on day one of these championships. we were saying, look at the surface! it looks absolutely
7:47 am
beautiful, pristine. we know one of the big talking points is not only the big talking points is not only the beautiful grass here at wimbledon but the serenity of the place, strawberries and cream. people will be packing onto the hill later on as well as the many who will be here watching it all unfold. the sun is shining on centre court but will that continue today? will it stay dry?— but will that continue today? will itsta d ? . . . it stay dry? there is a good chance that this afternoon _ it stay dry? there is a good chance that this afternoon we _ it stay dry? there is a good chance that this afternoon we could i it stay dry? there is a good chance that this afternoon we could see i that this afternoon we could see some showers between 3pm and 5pm. fingers crossed we get a full day's play here. asjohn was saying look how pristine it is. do you know how many tennis balls are ordered for the wimbledon championships? it is a whopping 5a,500. now the surplus is used for training ball boys and all girls. if any are used, loads are
7:48 am
used, they are sold in one of the shops here and the money from that does go to charity. the first time yellow tennis balls were introduced was in 1986. now the forecast for wimbledon, as we were just saying, is mixed today. one of sunshine and also showers. showers are more likely in the afternoon, hopefully we will miss them. the forecast for us all this one of sunshine and showers with a fresh breeze. we have a low pressure anchored to the north—east of us, pulling in the westerly wind or westerly breeze. we have a couple of weather fronts, the first across the far north of scotland introducing some rain. the second one has been bringing rain across northern ireland by pushing across northern ireland by pushing across the irish sea and will move across the irish sea and will move across england and also wales. that could bring some showers in the afternoon. on either side we are looking at the mix of sunshine and showers. temperatures today a little bit down on where we would expect
7:49 am
them to be at this time of the year, 15 in the north to about 20 as we push down towards the south. this evening the weather front across, and thinks that the south with its rain. as we head overnight, a new one comes in across south—west england and also south wales. that will drift east. in between the two weather fronts the showers will fade, it will dry up and it will be cool wherever you are. we start tomorrow with the rain across the southeast. through the course of the day it will tend to move away and behind it, for many of us, we are looking at a mix of sunshine and showers. the weather front across the north of scotland continuing to slip south into central areas, producing not much more than a band of cloud and the odd shower. cool for the time of year, the top temperature likely to only be 19. for wednesday, dryerfor temperature likely to only be 19. for wednesday, dryer for most of us. having said that, across the north
7:50 am
and west there will be showers. the heaviest of which will be over northern and western scotland and northern ireland. temperatures recovering a little bit in the sunshine. we are going to recover more as we head into the latter part of this week and into the weekend when, in the south, we could see temperatures getting back up into the high 20s. it does not mean for some it will be bone dry. it the high 20s. it does not mean for some it will be bone dry.— some it will be bone dry. it looks some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely. _ some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely. so _ some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely, so good _ some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely, so good to _ some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely, so good to see - some it will be bone dry. it looks so lovely, so good to see the i some it will be bone dry. it looksj so lovely, so good to see the sun shining on day one. thank you very much indeed. ben west's daughter thank you very much indeed. lucy was just 17 when she took her own life. her family say she loved sports and now her dad is channeling that passion to raise awareness of suicide prevention. for the last week, ben has been cycling from john o'groats to lands end, joined by one of his best friends, andrew ridgley from wham. tim muffett is with them both in ludlow.. good morning. good morning. i am

7:52 am
with her mum in her bed three hours before it happened, and she went off to college and we didn't see her again. and in our most irrational moments, we sit here and wait for the door to open and her to come back in. but she's not. lucy loved sport — swimming, running, even triathlons. and ben and some of his best friends are currently undertaking a gruelling bike ride, a 1700 kilometre route from john o'groats to lands end, to raise awareness and money for papyrus, the national charity for the prevention of young suicide. i mean, we're very tight as the group of friends.
7:53 am
you know, ben and jo's situation wasjust — never experienced anything like it before, and so, it's one of those things you've got a group together with your mates, isn't it? so. yeah. — sorry for getting a bit tearful. the biggest thing for us is coming to terms with what lucy is missing out on. and that goes for every young person that takes their life. amongst those taking part, andrew ridgeley, who, along with george michael, formed the band wham! in the early eighties. ben's a very, very close friend of mine. we wanted to support him. he suffered an unimaginable loss. i have been really surprised at the extent of which so many people have been directly, or indirectly, affected by suicide. it's going to be a long, tough, physical bike ride. what's the main thing you want to achieve? if we can just make a difference
7:54 am
to one family, if there's one family that then has a chat with their daughter or their son, or one school teacher that thinks this child's struggling a little bit, i'll have a word with them, and something comes from that, then, as far as i'm concerned, that's my motivation for it. time is not a healer, always. it's like it happened yesterday, every day. time allows you to cope better. it develops your coping skills. it allows you to put on the mask, as we call it, and hold it in place for longer. but underneath you're broken every day.

you set up would have been the 60th birthday of george michael as well. it must have been such a poignant thing you have been doing here. having bennelong and being able to attach charity fundraising was very important to me. a great loss, incredible tragedy for ben and a loss for us all. it was really second nature to attach the fundraising element to this ride. you have a really good mate here, haven't you? i you have a really good mate here, haven't you?— you have a really good mate here, haven't ou? . ~ . , , haven't you? i have. andrew has been really sopportive. _ haven't you? i have. andrew has been really supportive, when _ haven't you? i have. andrew has been really supportive, when my _ haven't you? i have. andrew has been really supportive, when my family i really supportive, when my family has needed a hat and an arm around us. when i mention to andrew, could we possibly do some fundraising for papyrus on our trip, hejumped at the chance and actually pushed it to the chance and actually pushed it to the front for a trip which is
7:57 am
essentially facilitated by him for us to celebrate his birthday. i am feeling slightly guilty at times it has been hijacked and the charity is really at the forefront of it at times. i can assure everyone this is a real physical challenge and it is way harder than i thought it would be. if we can raise some awareness, the fundraising are secondary for me. it is awareness about what is going on with suicide in young people. so for me, ifjust one person engages with us over the trip and has a conversation that results in somebody gaining... some young person gaining something from this, that would be successful me. i am that would be successful me. i am struck by how _ that would be successful me. i am struck by how close _ that would be successful me. i am struck by how close a _ that would be successful me. i am struck by how close a bunch of friends you are before the trip

7:59 am
travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria cook. a council in east london claims changes to the ultra low emission zone could force some care workers out of theirjobs. a survey in hayvering suggests that of 169 care workers in the borough, just over a 100 will be badly affected by the expansion next month. the mayor says they're working to ensure all key workers aren't worse off. train passengers are being warned to expect disruption this week, as drivers at 15 rail companies take part in an overtime ban. the action by members of the aslef union goes on until saturday. it's part of their long running dispute over pay. it's likely to affect people heading to wimbledon. commuters are being advised to check their travel plans before setting off. let's take a look at the tubes now.
8:00 am
for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now let's take a look at the weather for later. it's going to be a sunny start, but the cloud will start to push in as the day progresses. there are some showers expected later too, and it'll be breezy. top temperature of 20 degrees. that's all from us for now. we'll be back in half an hour. but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a firefighter has died in paris trying to douse the flames of burning cars during riots. last night saw less unrest than recent
8:01 am
days across france. more disruption on the railways as train drivers from the aslef union begin an overtime ban in england. how much does it it cost to fill up your tank? we'll find out if you've been paying too much at the pump later today, it's the first day of wimbledon. the queues have already begun at sw19. fiona lamdin is there. good morning. 6000 people snaking their way into wimbledon. many of those people have been queueing now for two nights. it won't be long until they are inside wherejohn and carol r. good morning from wimbledon. we are live on centre court. the big news on day one of these championships is the withdrawal of nick kyrgios. the beaten finalist in the men's singles last year withdraws with a wrist injury. his injury problems this year continue. �* his injury problems this year continue-— his injury problems this year continue. �* . ., ., ~' ~ continue. and we are looking like we could catch —

8:03 am
his death sparked a volatile week for france. one of anger, destruction and introspection. many of the teenagers taking to the streets in rage accused the country's police of racial profiling and heavy handedness, a charge policing unions deny. nahel�*s family have condemned the violence in an interview with the bbc. they asked us to conceal their identity for their safety. translation: there are no words to describe how we feel. _ we just buried a 17—year—old. but we never called for hate or riots. this is not for nahel. what we want is justice, for the policeman to be sentenced for nahel�*s execution. that's a sentiment shared by these mothers, who yesterday marched in the diverse paris suburb of aulnay sous—bois. they called for justice for victims of police violence, and for an end to the riots. on sunday evening, president macron held a high level meeting to discuss
8:04 am
this ongoing crisis. some in france feel he should introduce a state of emergency to contain the riots. others believe he needs to do more to address the root causes of them. a beefed up security presence seems to have led to a quieter night on the streets after nights of tension. things are calmer, but for how long? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, paris. we're joined now by our europe editor katya adler. katya, what's the situation there now? well, as you see around me, people are walking to work rather than running through the streets away from tear gas and clashes between writers and riot police. that is what we have seen almost every night after night, since nahel was killed
8:05 am
at a traffic stop by a policeman. last night seemed more calm. on the streets calmer. they were direct appeals by now�*s family for the youngsters to go home. they are young. —— nahel�*s family. most of them under the age of 18. we have to be careful. although there is a great sense of injustice here, particularly in the suburbs, the housing estates where nahel lived and most of these rioters, from a similar background to him, french families, french boys in this case, but of north african origin are working class neighbourhoods, who feel discriminated against by the french state, and particularly the french state, and particularly the french police. but these riots are not political. because they are also so young, these kids, it is anger, it is fury. it is a message to the authorities, many of them say unless they take to the streets like that, nobody listens to them. apart from
8:06 am
that, of course, there were acts of violence and vandalism. what has caught the public attention yesterday particularly for attacks on mayors and the homes of myers as representatives of the states of france. france has a close relationship with their local mayor. everybody knows where they live. the most egregious case thatjumped at the public attention was where a burning car was used to try to drive it into a mire's, where his wife and two young children were sleeping. the wife and one of the children became injured when they tried to escape the house. i would say although there are a lot of people in france who had a lot of sympathy with nahel�*s family, and the situation in housing estates, they have no patience at all with the violence. so many shops affected, so many businesses affected, so many citizens in the estates themselves, and wealthier neighbourhoods, scared at night. a sigh of relief. it appeared to be a quieter night. i hope that remains so for the coming days and weeks, with that threat, if
8:07 am
relations are not improved with the suburbs, you could see violence again on the streets. this is far from the first time france has seen this. . ~ from the first time france has seen this. . ,, , ., from the first time france has seen this. . ~' , ., , from the first time france has seen this. . ,, i. , . this. thank you very much indeed. ka a this. thank you very much indeed. katya adler. _ this. thank you very much indeed. katya adler. or— this. thank you very much indeed. katya adler, or europe _ this. thank you very much indeed. katya adler, or europe editor, i this. thank you very much indeed. katya adler, or europe editor, live from paris. let's get more of the day's news now with jon. at least three palestinians have been killed in israeli air strikes on a refugee camp in the west bank. israel said it was targeting what it called militant infrastructure in the area. the islamic group, hamas, called the air strike barbaric aggression. rail passengers are being warned to expect disruption for the next six days, due to an overtime ban by some train drivers. 15 companies in england will be impacted. it's the latest action by the aslef union over pay. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. don't expect to see deserted stations like during strike days, but this action by train drivers could see widespread disruption. from this morning, members of the aslef union have started refusing to do any overtime.
8:08 am
the ban will run until the end of saturday. so, six full days. 15 different rail operators are involved, which run services across england. they typically rely on drivers doing overtime to run their full schedules. many say they will be running a reduced timetable throughout this week. some are cancelling the first and last trains of the day, and there could also be short notice cancellations. so the advice is to check before travelling. these passengers in leeds summed up the mood. we've got to go to college and i've got to get two trains. and when i can't get the trains back, i can't go to college, and then that looks bad on me, because my college is, like, why can't you come in because of the trains? and it'sjust — i don't know, i'm fed up at this point. i mean, i can drive, but i don't particularly like it, you know, especially coming to a big city like leeds and being unfamiliar with it, you know. it's a shambles, isn't it? like, people use public transport to get to work and back. - why should it affect us?

ministerial rules. it's after she was cleared to work for the labour party later this year by parliament's appointments advisory body. but the conservatives say that she failed to declare her contact with the party over a potentialjob. there are growing calls for nhs whistle—blowers to receive more support, as one expert warns failure to do so could lead to another scandal, like that at the mid staffordshire hospital trust. sir robert francis led the inquiry into hundreds of patient deaths at stafford hospital more than a decade ago. now he says some people still pay a heavy price for speaking up. a group of backbench conservative mps has warned the government it could lose public trust if it doesn't cut net migration, which currently stands at 606,000 people each year. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent nick eardley.
8:11 am
what is it these conservative backbenchers are calling for? the simle backbenchers are calling for? tie: simple answer is tougher action to bring immigration down. they argue that the conservative party risks eroding public trust if it doesn't deliver on the promise made at the last general election, to get net migration down to about 225,000. so, they have published today would include things like a higher salary requirements to get a skilled worker visa, tougher rules on study visas. for example, taking some poor performing universities, as they would see it come out of the scheme. one of the more controversial ideas is to stop the temporary visas that care workers get, that some care workers get anyway, to come and work in the uk. that is controversial because the care sector would say, well, how are we going to fill the jobs if we can't bring people into
8:12 am
the country? but there is a big debate going on about what he'd do to train more british people up to do thosejobs, and to train more british people up to do those jobs, and whether bringing immigration down should be a zero—sum game, whether you do it at all costs. i think the point of this group is trying to make is they don't think the government is going far enough. that it needs more radical plans. but don't forget, this is a debate that has been going on for some time. and the other side of the argument is, well, if you're actually too ideological about this, if you think bringing net migration down is the be all and end all, that could have a damaging impact on the health service, if you can't get the workers for things like the care sector, but also in the economy, if you can't bring enough people in to dojobs in the round. you can't bring enough people in to do jobs in the round.— a mayor of a small town in mexico has married a crocodile bride in an age—old ritual for prosperity. mayor victor sosa wed the seven—year—old crocodile, nicknamed little princess, in a ceremony dating back hundreds of years.

8:14 am
me the roof on centre court. it might be deployed later today. we are expecting some showers may be tomorrow morning as well. let's hope not. before it was installed we used to hear all the time, rain stops play. you may back in 1996 when that happened cliff richard had a wee sing song just to keep everybody going until play recommends. the forecast for wimbledon today is mixed. we are looking at sunshine and the risk of showers through the afternoon. also quite breezy. the forecast for all of us today is one of sunshine and showers. and a fresh breeze. what we currently have is a weather front trekked across the north of scotland. that is producing some rain. we have another one crossing the irish sea. that is going to be moving over england and wales with the showers, and it could bring a shower to wimbledon. on either side of that, sunshine and showers. highs of 20 degrees. this
8:15 am
evening and overnight what we have easily weather front in scotland sinking further south with this rain. at the same time this new one comes on across south—west england and south west wales, drifting eastwards. in between we find the showers will fade, a lot of dry and clear skies, and a cool night. tomorrow we pick up that rain in the south—east and quarter of the country. that will pull away and we are looking at the sunshine and showers behind it. some of the showers behind it. some of the showers could be heavy, potentially thundery, in the midlands, for example. tomorrow feeling cold. temperatures disappointing for the time of the year. we are looking at roughly up to 19 degrees. it is not until the weekend temperatures start to get back up for some until the weekend temperatures start to get back up for some of until the weekend temperatures start to get back up for some of us, until the weekend temperatures start to get back up for some of us, into the high 205. thank you. quarter past eight. we ll find out if we ve been paying too much for our petrol later today. the competition watchdog is expected to publish its findings on whether uk supermarkets are charging customers more than they need to for fuel.
8:16 am
ben's here with the details. yes, good morning. anybody on their way to work this morning will be glad they are not paying as much as they were a year ago, but it is still expensive. what we are talking about is the gap the retailers make. let me explain in more detail. remember when it was about £100 to fill up in your car in some cases? well, the good news is those prices have come down as wholesale fuel costs have fallen. the key question is, are the supermarkets and other petrol retailers passing that on to us as customers quickly enough? the chancellor ask the competition and markets authority to investigate and it will release its report later this morning. here is why. 2022 was described as the most volatile year for fuel prices on record. described as the most volatile year forfuel prices on record. the price of petrol and dieseljumped by 50p a litre between january and july. it sounds a lot, and it was the biggest
8:17 am
ever increase in the average fuel price in one year. for an idea of how those prices have changed, we have put together a graph. bear with me. a lot of detail. this is for unleaded. the price we pay at the pump. it includes vat. some of this goes to retailers, some of it is taxed. you can see it hit this high this summer, nearly £2 a litre. that is because it followed of the wholesale price, this grey line. this is what petrol retailers paid to by the fuel in. it rose sharply because of the war in ukraine. at low, then fell and the pump price followed. slightly behind. notice that wide gap between the two. when you look at current average diesel prices, well, there's an even bigger difference. look at that. the pump price and the wholesale price. just like with energy and food prices, when the wholesale or production
8:18 am
cost falls, there is always a delay before we see that drop reflected on what we pay at the tail. the leading supermarkets say they have been working with the competition watchdog to give customers the best value out of the pump. a lot of you have been in touch. sally and john had a message from stephen in east anglia. he wants to know why there's such big difference between same retailer but a 13 miles apart, and 8p difference. th rse has noticed the same. same supermarket, different price, colchester and london. something that affects many people. it will be interesting to see what the watchdog sees later. taste see what the watchdog sees later. we can stay with prices. these prices are a little lower than we get today right across the board. from the news agents, to your butcher and greengrocer — it wasn't too long ago these shops lined every high street, selling everything you could need. now as more businesses disappear, that's no longer the case. but a museum in the west midlands has recreated an authentic row of shops, from the 19405 to 605, to give people a chance to step down memory lane,

8:34 am
not great expectations. i'm not really thinking about the results as much as on other tournaments, i would say so, for sure, quarterfinals would be a great step forward. if we step back to last year, there was something missing — namely players from russia and belarus. wimbledon took a stance, it paid a price. now, once more, this is a grand slam that is open to all. it is the right decision for the championships this year. all of those athletes that are going to compete neutrally have signed the declaration, and we're confident that they will compete well at the championships and that we won't have any issues. as the all england club throws open its gates for another fortnight, hold onto your fans and your umbrellas and soak it all in, for wimbledon is a tournament that will continue to give us all the feels. ben croucher, bbc news. we will see six british players in
