good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. a fair dealfor savers — bosses from britain's biggest banks will face the financial watchdog today over concerns they're failing to pass on interest rate rises. i'll be looking at the growing gap between savings and mortgage rates — as banks come under pressure to explain themselves. the mothers who were forced to give up their babies for adoption — hundreds of women call on the government to issue an official apology. we did nothing wrong. you know, we all make mistakes. we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives. good morning from headingley, where the third ashes test starts this morning. england have to win to keep the series alive — which is what the women's team did last night, beating beating australia at the oval

in their latest t20 match fresh hope for the world's largest colony of gannets off the east coast of scotland — after thousands died last year from bird flu. good morning. we have some heavy and persistent rain coming into northern ireland as we go through today and then later into western scotland. a few scattered showers around but for many we will have a dry day with some sunshine, especially in the south and east. i will have all the details throughout the programme. good morning. it is thursdayjuly the 6th. our main story... the bosses of the four biggest banking groups are meeting the financial watchdog today to discuss concerns that interest rates on savings accounts aren't increasing as quickly as those for mortgages. the banks have denied accusations from mps that they've been profiteering. our cost—of—living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. bank customers are feeling the pressure — charged

lots to borrow money, but given very little reward to save it. so today, the financial conduct authority wants to turn up the pressure on those in charge of the banks. the base rate at the bank of england has ticked up 13 times in the last year and a half. lenders have been quick to follow by upping the interest rates on mortgages, but sluggish to dish out more for savings — especially on easy—access accounts. if you're a borrower, you're seeing — pretty quickly — interest rates being passed on, particularly if you're on a variable—rate mortgage. we've actually got a variable savings rate — it's not actually rising as much as you would hope — so it is very much a case, again, of having a look at the wider market, seeking out mutuals and challenger banks and moving your money. loyalty doesn't always pay in this case. mps and consumer groups have accused the big four banks of being the worst offenders. between them, they also own halifax, bank of scotland, royal bank of scotland,

and the ulster bank. so any changes agreed today will affect millions of savers. the financial conduct authority doesn't have the power to force banks to increase rates, but they say they are hoping for a positive outcome today. we're still seeing rates of less than i% on some instant—access accounts offered by the big banks. clearly, that has to change. it's not right that mortgage—holders are being made to feel the pain of interest rate rises, while many very loyal savers are not getting the full benefit. so hopefully the fca can make a meaningful difference here, and nudge the banks even further in the right direction. new rules to better protect customers are coming into force this summer, and the regulator is keen for lenders to get in line now to strike a quicker balance between what they're taking from customers and what they're giving back. colletta smith, bbc news.

more stories now with naga. you are starting with the house of lords and the illegal migration bill. the government has suffered another series of defeats in the house of lords over its plans to deport asylum seekers who arrive in the uk on small boats. peers backed five new amendments to the illegal migration bill. our political correspondent ione wells can tell us more. ione, good morning. we need to know what the lord subjected to and what happens now with this bill. morning. there are a — happens now with this bill. morning. there are a couple _ happens now with this bill. morning. there are a couple of _ happens now with this bill. morning. there are a couple of things - happens now with this bill. morning. there are a couple of things which i there are a couple of things which lords objected to in the government plans to detain and deport anyone who comes to the uk through what it describes as an illegal route. the first thing whilst there was quite a lot of backlash to the government's plans for home office officials to determine how old a child is and for that decision to be final. the fear was that this could mean that a child under 18 was wrongly

identified as being over 18 and then detained and deported without any kind of safeguarding measures in place. lords have inserted a new clause giving people the right to appeal those decisions. the second thing, that there was quite a push for, including from some conservative peers, was to create and commit to creating more safe and legal routes for refugees and asylum seekers to come to the uk because so far these only really exist for certain countries like ukraine and afghanistan and some peers feel that is necessary if you are going to push this bill forward. the government has repeatedly said that they feel these measures are fair and proportionate. ithink they feel these measures are fair and proportionate. i think what we will now see is what is known in parliamentary terms as ping—pong, basically a back—and—forth between the house of commons and the house of lords, because ministers are expected to tell their mps reject these new clauses that the peers have put in full stop so i think this bill could still have quite a

way to go. what we will a close eye on the tussle. ione, thank you. ione wells, there. a report into groping allegations against the former government whip chris pincher is due to be published this morning. mr pincher stood down as deputy chief whip after allegations of sexual harassment in a private members club used by conservative mps. the parliament's standards committee report could lead to a by—election in his constituency of tamworth, if a suspension of more than ten days is agreed. a russian rocket has hit an apartment building in the city of lviv in western ukraine, killing at least three people, the local mayor has said. another eight people were said to be injured, including one seriously. russia's military has not commented on the reported attack. the boss of shell has warned energy bills could rise again due to demand from china and cold winter weather. wael sawan said cutting fossil—fuel production, in the move towards renewables — at this stage — would be "dangerous and irresponsible". the reality is, the energy system of today continues to desperately need oil and gas.

and before we are able to let go of that, we need to make sure that we have developed the new energy systems of the future. and we are not yet — collectively — moving at the pace that requires that to happen. the parent company of facebook and instagram has officially launched a new app that's widely seen as a rival to twitter. meta describes its new platform — threads — as a "text—based conversation app". our north america technology reporter, james clayton, has more. last month, these two titans of tech challenged each other to a physical fight. it wasn't clear if they were joking. but meta's new app — called threads — is deadly serious for twitter. it's been branded the twitter—killer. these were my thoughts just after the app went live. so, first thoughts — this isjust very similar to twitter. very similar. only looks like there's one feed here. in terms of optics, though...identical.

ok, what's this? can you re... can you retwee... oh, repost, not retweet. i'm going to... this is an article by a friend of mine, so i'm going to repost this. add to story. so this is different — so you can directly add a story... he chuckles. ..to your instagram. yeah, this is just so clearly directed as a direct competitor on twitter. i mean, it doesn't take a genius to work that out. however, although this is essentially a copy of twitter, experts say it's a pretty good copy — and one that could be a problem for elon musk. i think he should be worried. i think he should be very concerned because this is a real challenge to his platform now. and there hasn't been a real challenge of platform until today. and it's only going to get better, i think, so i think that he will be concerned about how many people are talking about it and how many people are starting to use it. mark zuckerberg said he wanted the app to be used

by a billion people, and that twitter had had the opportunity to expand, but hadn't nailed it. but for some, it's a little odd that people frustrated with how twitter is run might be going to a meta—run platform. meta is no stranger to controversy. last year, whistle—blower frances haugen said the company had put profits over safety. mr musk tweeted after the launch... but if this was a fight, it does look like mark zuckerberg has had a good first round. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. security arrangements at the british grand prix will be reviewed for this weekend after climate change protestors interrupted two matches at wimbledon yesterday. it happened as the home secretary suella braverman was meeting police and sports chiefs to try to prevent further disruptions

at sporting events. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. the storm clouds might have cleared overhead yesterday in sw19, but there was trouble brewing on the courts. instead of rain halting play, it was two environmental protesters raining down confetti and jigsaw—puzzle pieces, disrupting grigor dimitrov and sho shimabukuro's match on court 18. lightning might not strike twice, but a few hours later, just stop oil did. court 18 was once again doused by a third protester, disrupting british number one katie boulter�*s first—round match against australian daria saville. all three protesters were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage. tim henman — now on the board of the all—england tennis club — expressed his annoyance. prepare as best you can, obviously... you know, the challenge when you've got sort of 35,000+ people coming to your grounds and you've got 18 fields of play, it's not easy. so, yeah, it would be important, i think, for everyone to understand the facts and where these people

have come from. but, yeah, it's frustrating. we've had enough disruptions with the weather, but to get a disruption like that, as well, is — you know, is disappointing. the government has now decided to step in — with the home secretary chairing a meeting yesterday with representatives of various sports organisations to try to prevent further disruptions. of particular concern is this weekend's silverstone grand prix, which was targeted last year. wimbledon is just the latest in a wave of direct—action protests this summer by the environmental group who disrupted the ashes, the world snooker championships, and the rugby union premiership final. but the group shows no sign of letting up — issuing a statement from one of the protesters, accusing the government of courting disaster and ignoring scientists' climate warnings. wimbledon had already tightened security measures this year — frustrating spectators forced to queue for hours. they're liaising with the police

to prevent more protests, and have also stopped selling jigsaws in their shop just in case. the government says it's working closely with law enforcement to ensure silverstone's high—speed track doesn't end up with a more dangerous orange invasion on sunday. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. fans of �*80s music might have been enjoying the new wham! documentary — which dropped on netflix yesterday — but andrew ridgeley has been focused on something else. he's just completed a charity cycle ride from john o'groats to lands end. he and his friend, ben west, completed the 10—day challenge in memory of ben's17—year—old daughter lucy, who took her own life. they've raised around £20,000 so far. let's say good morning to carol. hello. ,., ., let's say good morning to carol. hello. h, ., ., let's say good morning to carol. hellm— good - let's say good morning to carol. - hello._ good morning. a cool start to the day for many

diagnosed with lung cancer in the uk is expected to overtake men this year for the first time. and take a look at this, this rather striking image of the london eye, lit up in blue last night as part of celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of the nhs. buildings lit up. that was yesterday evening. i always think when the london eye is lit up it is a sight to behold. it london eye is lit up it is a sight to behold-— london eye is lit up it is a sight to behold. ., , ., . to behold. it does look magnificent. on the subject _ to behold. it does look magnificent. on the subject of— to behold. it does look magnificent. on the subject of health, _ to behold. it does look magnificent. on the subject of health, a - to behold. it does look magnificent. on the subject of health, a couple l on the subject of health, a couple of stories inside. sleep more than six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will— six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try _ six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try to, _ six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try to, |_ six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try to, | do _ six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try to, | do try - six hours a night stay sharp. do you do that? will try to, | do try to. - do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours _ do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours is _ do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours is about _ do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours is about right - do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours is about right to - do that? will try to, i do try to. six hours is about right to me. | do that? will try to, | do try to. - six hours is about right to me. they study from university college london examining cognitive function over a decade, people over 50. what they actually did in the tests was interesting, how they test these things. as soon as she woke up the test included recalling a ten word

government is truly sorry. for the decades of pain that you have suffered... ..and scotland. ..a sincere, heartfelt and unreserved apology. it left birth mothers there overjoyed. but what about the rest of the uk? well, a committee of westminster mps recommended the uk government also apologise. but whilst the government said sorry, it didn't offer an official apology. the government's argument for that is that 50, 60 years ago, it was society's attitude towards unmarried women, and not the state, that was to blame for forced adoptions. but today, that's being challenged. in a letter to the prime minister, hundreds of birth mothers argue the uk state was morally responsible for forced adoptions. and this injustice should, like scotland and wales, result in an apology.

come on, boy. the mothers include heather burnley from shropshire. i was 15 when i became pregnant, and that was in 1971. heather says pressure to give up her baby for adoption came first from a state—employed social worker. she said it's going to be very difficult. somebody — and she did use the word — would possibly call him a bastard. she used that word? she used that word. she did, yes. i think that it was definitely, "we are here to make sure that your baby is adopted. you are not keeping it." she then says in this derbyshire hospital, more pressure came from midwives as she was giving birth. there was no anaesthetic. the midwife said, "you know, perhaps you'll remember this. this will stop you doing it in future. this is to teach you a lesson." that nhs midwife said those words to you? mm. yeah, "this is what you deserve." heather's baby boy was taken

from her at ten days. she wouldn't see him again for 34 years. around 180,000 unmarried women were involved in this. many had hoped this 1950 report laying out government policy would help them. as it read, "it is considered essential to keep the unmarried mother and her child together, if this is at all possible." but documents we've seen at the national records office in london show that often didn't happen. how do we know this? well, because this letter says so. it's written by a group of organisations, including local authorities, adoption agencies and magistrates to the then minister of health in june 1951. and it's almost a plea for resources. they say, "mothers of illegitimate children are driven to adoption because they are unable to find accommodation."

it goes on to say that, "she" — the mother — "is forced to part from her baby, whether she wishes it or not." now, this letter ends up with other civil servants in whitehall and you see their responses, saying, "we need to keep expenditure in bounds. we would not consider further expenditure." now these civil servants craft a letter to write back to these organisations saying, in terms, that there's not much more that the minister can do. the documents were discovered by dr michael lambert, who's about to publish this new research linking government policy to forced adoptions. we've seen these documents at the national records office in kew. what do they show in terms of the state involvement in forced adoptions? the documents show that the government were aware of the circumstances in post—war britain whereby their claim that women were enabled to keep their children is simply not the case, because the resources required to make that a reality simply aren't being provided. and that's a conscious decision

on the part of the government, on the part of the british state. dr lambert says society did play a role in shaming unmarried women into giving up their babies for adoption, but that it was governments who could have done more to help them keep their children. if you've seen the scale of evidence that i've seen in archival sources within national government, local government and across the adoption societies, unequivocally the government are deeply implicated in this process and should apologise for their involvement. no doubt? no doubt. reunions with children did take place, but for many — like heather burnley — it took decades. she says an apology from the state for actions taken by the state would now be welcome. that apology, to me, is vital. we did nothing wrong. we all make mistakes. we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives. the covid pandemic was devastating in so many ways but one of its more

positive effects was to accelerate and increase our understanding of vaccines. that leap in understanding has now led to clinical trials which use vaccines to treat many types of cancer. the early results are promising and — as gill dummigan explains — could revolutionise the way the disease is treated. ten months ago, adrian was told that he had incurable cancer, with few options for treatment. it is devastating news to anyone and...at the time i was 53 years of age, and you think, i've onlyjust started going, started living. and i've young children — what are they going to do without me? what's my wife going to do? and it's terrifying. adrian had just finished several gruelling months of chemo and radiotherapy for tonsil cancer, but it had spread to his lungs and was growing quickly. he was then offered a place on a clinical trial at the clatterbridge cancer centre.

once every three weeks, adrian comes here and gets a vaccine against his cancer. it uses the same sort of technology — called mrna — that many covid vaccines do — and without the pandemic, this trial probably wouldn't exist. the huge concentration of money and effort to find a covid vaccine massively accelerated progress on other vaccines, too, because they're using the same principle — training the body to fight and destroy harmful diseases. this technology harnesses those defects in the cancer cells and creates a personalised vaccine for an individual. it's hugely exciting, and it really represents a paradigm shift in the knowledge that we have about how cancers work. clatterbridge works in partnership with the royal liverpool hospital next door, along with the university of liverpool. at the royal, they're preparing to start a trial using mrna vaccines after bowel cancer surgery to stop the cancer returning. the great advantage of vaccines is that they can be delivered everywhere.

you know, you will have had a flu vaccine or a covid vaccine delivered in a gp setting or in a school hall. with cancer vaccines, exactly the same thing can happen — this is walk in, have a jab, walk out — and that can be rolled out across the country. back at clatterbridge, adrian's results are looking good. the fact that the latest scans have shown that the cancer�*s virtually disappeared, i think it far exceeds everyone's expectations — certainly mine. it's saved my life, basically. gill dummigan, bbc news. still to come on breakfast, we'll take you on a trip to bass rock in the firth of forth — home to the world's largest colony of gannets. look at those! it just looks like snow, doesn't it? last year the population was decimated by bird flu — and we've been back to find out how they're doing, 12 months on. hopefully it's a good story. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. disability groups and trade unions have raised further concerns about plans to close almost every train ticket office. the exploitation of young and elderly. police investigating an assault in sittingbourne last month have released cctv images of a man they'd like to speak to in connection with the incident. the victim was in a cocktail lounge in saint michaels road when a man hit him over the head with a glass and punched and kicked him to the floor. the man was left with deep cuts to his face.

researchers have discovered some of the largest early prehistoric stone tools in britain — in kent. the excavations in the medway valley revealed 800 artefacts thought to be more than 300,000 years old. the team from ucl archaeology south east also found a roman cemetery during the dig. an area of water 55 kilometres off the sussex coast has been granted special protection and will soon see all damaging activity, such as bottom—towed trawling, banned. the 466km squared dolphin head area, is one of only three sites in england designated as a highly protected marine area. sussex wildlife trust says the order will ensure the entire marine ecosystem is protected. there is huge potential now to recover the ecosystem and to get it back to how it should be naturally which is quite a thriving area and known as a bit of a biodiversity hotspot, so all sorts of interesting

things can live and thrive there. a yellow heat—health alert has been issued for the south east this weekend. it will apply from tomorrow until sunday morning as temperatures are predicted to rise. vulnerable people including the very young and elderly are being advised to stay hydrated and stay in the shade during the hottest parts of the day. now your weather with kate kinsella. morning. we are in for a more settled day today weather wise, largely dry with some sunny spells. now, i say largely dry. there is an outside chance of a shower this morning, but most places avoiding those. some patchy cloud, yes, but still the sunny spells and that cloud dissolving through the afternoon. a south—westerly breeze developing. temperatures reaching 22 celsius. a pleasant evening in the sunshine. then overnight, it's dry and it's clear. still breezy, however, into friday morning, minimum temperature, nine celsius and clear skies

dry and sunny in the southeast with a southerly breeze which is dragging in some warmerairand a southerly breeze which is dragging in some warmer air and it will feel humid through tomorrow with temperatures mid to high 205, for saturday staying warm at the chance of heavy thundery downforce. time now for a look at our photo of the day. jessica delo has captured these colours in faversham. we'd love to see your photos. we'll be back in half an hour's time. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the bosses of the uk 5 leading banks will meet with the financial watchdog today amid concerns they are profiting from the sky—high cost of borrowing. hannah can tell us more. if you've got savings at the moment you might be scratching your head, saying why am i not getting more advantage for the interest rates

going up? yes, really, this is a question of fairness — a general feeling that the banks are taking more than they're giving back. let's go back to the beginning — the reason interest rates are soaring compared to recent years is because of this number, inflation — the rate prices have been rising at — remains stubbornly high. enemy number one as the bank of england and the government now describe it. the main weapon the bank has to bring down the price rises is to put up the base rate of interest — now at 5%, which is a 15—year high. that makes it more expensive to borrow money ? and has a direct impact on hundreds of thousands of people with fixed term mortgages coming to an end this year. it's also is supposed to take money out of the economy by encouraging people to save. but here 5 the problem — critics of the high street banks point to this graph, which shows how mortgage rates have gone up pretty quickly in response to the rise in the base rate.

this was the leap in october after the so—called mini—budget — per cent. but when it comes to savings, banks don't seem to be as quick in passing on the higher rates — you can see here what they will pay out on an easy access savings account. that gap between savings and mortgage rates is getting bigger, so if you're putting money away — which the bank of england wants us to do — then you're possibly not getting the savings rate you could or should be. that gap isn t new, its essentially how banks make a profit ?— but at four percent the chancellor for one feels it may be too?large, and there's a suggestion that banks are consciously not passing those rates on to savers fast enough. lenders for their part say it is wrong to equate savings and mortgage rates and that there are better savings deals out there, especially if you're willing to put your money away for longer. we should say as well that this is part of— we should say as well that this is part of an — we should say as well that this is part of an investigation by the

financiai— part of an investigation by the financial watchdog into the savings market _ financial watchdog into the savings market and we will report back at the end _ market and we will report back at the end of— market and we will report back at the end of the month. but, there will he _ the end of the month. but, there will be people out there who hope that they — will be people out there who hope that they don't have to wait until the end — that they don't have to wait until the end of— that they don't have to wait until the end of the month to get more back the end of the month to get more hack on— the end of the month to get more back on the money they are trying to put away— back on the money they are trying to put away at — back on the money they are trying to put away at a difficult time. we will be talking to uk finance about why the rates are different and what people can be doing to get more and if the banks truly are serving them for the best. time to turn our attention _ serving them for the best. time to turn our attention to _ serving them for the best. time to turn our attention to sport. - serving them for the best. time to turn our attention to sport. this i turn our attention to sport. this time of year, in the summer there is so much going on. time of year, in the summer there is so much going on-— so much going on. there is, and of course we — so much going on. there is, and of course we had _ so much going on. there is, and of course we had the _ so much going on. there is, and of course we had the magic _ so much going on. there is, and of course we had the magic of - so much going on. there is, and of- course we had the magic of wimbledon under way on the magic of the ashes and we had a brilliant victory, i'm going to say victory for the women yesterday evening. mike is at headingley today ahead of a crucial third test for the men, but the women have shown that they can hang

on in there. surely that has to provide some inspiration. absolutely. showing how to do it at the oval in their latest t20 match and they had to win it against australia and they did to keep their series alive and that is what the men have to do in their five test here at headingley. they are in the last chance saloon and simply have to win to keep the ashes series alive and then win at old trafford in the oval, and of course the atmosphere will be more stoked up because of events at lord's the other day, the stomping ofjonny bairstow. yes he was out, but was it in the spirit of the game in the debate has intensified and rumbled on since then with the prime minister getting involved and the aussie press depicting the english as crybabies and imagine what difference it will make to the noise in the western terrace for fans, the fancy dress, known for that, and also the beer flowing. fancy dress, known for that, and also the beerflowing. imagine fancy dress, known for that, and also the beer flowing. imagine the intense noise and hostility that will come from there when this match

begins because of events at lords. joe wilson looks ahead. australia's wicketkeeper is at headingley. stumped or out, definitely. jonny bairstow has been training too. one team does the morning, one the afternoon. just as well. but, hey, it's a new test. well, i think the magical thing that would happen this week is to us to win the game and keep the ashes alive, to be honest. i don't know what it is about headingley, but something happens. scene of famous england wins for sure. looking forward to this match, looking back to lord's, australia's captain told me he's a firm believer in the spirit of cricket. i think it's one of the beauties of our sport. it's, you know, you talk about, it's a gentleman's sport. you want to maintain respect for the opposition at all times, the umpires, fans, the game. so i think it's one of the strengths of our game. sorry. and you think that was upheld at lord's? i mean, because people might wonder if you had any personal embarrassment about that in the days that have followed.

i think our players were outstanding in that regard. on the streets of headingley, in case you doubted it, sure signs that the events of lords have not been forgotten. well, england's players need a passionate, vocal atmosphere from supporters here. but remembering what happened in the long room at lord's, it's, of course, so important that nobody in this match crosses the line. stay calm. ben stokes is. trust in him for england to win. if not, who else? joe wilson, bbc news, headingley. well, if england's men need any inspiration then they only need to look at the women's team — as they kept their ashes series alive against australia. danielle wyatt's 50 helped england set australia a target of 187 to win at the oval and despite ellyse perry's late 50, england hung on to win by three runs. australia now lead the multi—format series 6—2, with england still needing to win all their remaining matches to win the ashes.

to wimbledon — where, as we've been saying, it was another stop/start day yesterday — but not only because of the weather. play on court 18 was stopped not once, but twice — asjust stop oil protestors disrupted the matches. britain's katie boulter was one of those affected — as her match against daria saville was halted while the confetti was cleared up. the break actually worked in boutler�*s favour — she went from trailing 4—2 in a first set tiebreak to winning it, before taking the second set 6—2 — and booking her place in round two. boulter�*s victory was the only british success of the day, though. jodie burrage was beaten comfortably on her centre court debut — winning just two games in a straight sets defeat to daria kasatkina. a straight—sets defeat too for heather watson — losing to barbora krejcikova of the czech republic in the opening round. disappointment for watson — who had reached the 4th round last year. brits sonay kartal, george loffhagen

and arthur fery are also out. it was obviously an unbelievable experience and playing a player like daniii— experience and playing a player like daniit was _ experience and playing a player like daniil was a great experience to take away— daniil was a great experience to take away in the crowd was great and i take away in the crowd was great and i enjoyed _ take away in the crowd was great and i enjoyed every moment out there, so definitely— i enjoyed every moment out there, so definitely lots to take forward. elsewhere, defending champion novak djokovic is safely into round three. he beat the australian jordan thompson in straight sets to move a step closer to a fifth successive title — and eighth overall at wimbledon. i truly tried to marvel every moment and enjoy— i truly tried to marvel every moment and enjoy every moment i spend on court _ and enjoy every moment i spend on court its— and enjoy every moment i spend on court it's a — and enjoy every moment i spend on court. it's a huge privilege, especially at this stage of my career— especially at this stage of my career where i especially at this stage of my careerwhere i am especially at this stage of my career where i am still trying to push _ career where i am still trying to push forward with the young guns. i don't _ push forward with the young guns. i don't know— push forward with the young guns. i don't know how far and how long that is going _ don't know how far and how long that is going to _ don't know how far and how long that is going to take but so far, so

good, — is going to take but so far, so good, i— is going to take but so far, so good, i must say. we have a very rontantic— good, i must say. we have a very romantic and special relationship, this court— romantic and special relationship, this court and i've. he romantic and special relationship, this court and i've.— this court and i've. he loves it there. no problems, either, for the women's world number one. iga swiatek marches on — after beating the world number 84 sara sorribes tormo in straight sets injust over an hour — winning 6—2, 6—0. away from wimbledon — england's footballers are just one match away from a major title. they are through to their first european under—21 championship final since 2009 after beating israel 3—0. morgan gibbs—white, cole palmer and cameron archer with the goals. england will play spain in saturday's final. there was a moment of history in wiltshire last night — as hannah dingley became the first woman to manage a professional men's team in english football. dingley took charge of league one side forest green rovers — but they could only draw 1—1 with melksham town — who play in the eighth tier of english football — in a pre—season friendly last night. dingley had been head of rovers' academy before being named as caretaker manager on tuesday — following the sacking

of duncan ferguson. it's a bit different from taking the under— it's a bit different from taking the under 18— it's a bit different from taking the under 18 is— it's a bit different from taking the under 18 is with a small crowd, but different — so it's a little bit different, but i suppose it's part of the role. and i think the important thing as well is that sort of role model for other female coaches, other young girls, and growing up knowing that anything is possible if you work hard enough and opportunities do come along. after four days of wearing the famous yellow jersey, adam yates' time leading the tour de france is over for now. australia's jai hindley is the new man in front — with yates dropping down to 5th. hindley attacked in the pyrenees mountains — and no—one could catch him, as he opened up a 47—second lead from defending championjonas vingegaard. and in the women's giro d'italia, defending champion annemiek van vleuten has extended her lead to 20 seconds after producing

an attack of her own — and easing to victory on stage six — a 15th giro win and a 101st career victory for the dutch rider. back at headingley england need to draw on the spirit of the early 805, sir ian botham and four years ago when ben stokes produced more heroics here and they simply have to win but i can't imagine the atmosphere and how intention potentially hostile it could be from the famous western terrace and with all that in mind giving thejust stop oil process, the yorkshire organisers have drafted in extra security around the perimeter and hired what are known as sprinters stewards who are known for their sprinting ability and pace so if there are any incursions over the perimeter they can be stopped before it affects play and also those sprinter stewards will be trying to keep a lid on things not getting out of control in the famous western

terrace where you can expect lots of costumes, roman togas and the atmosphere is fantastic and the beer will certainly be flowing and australia will certainly be able to hear them. australia will certainly be able to hear them-— australia will certainly be able to hear them. mike, thank you very much. hear them. mike, thank you very much- the _ hear them. mike, thank you very much. the scene _ hear them. mike, thank you very much. the scene is _ hear them. mike, thank you very much. the scene is set _ hear them. mike, thank you very much. the scene is set for - hear them. mike, thank you very l much. the scene is set for today's action. we're talking gannets this morning, the stunning seabirds which breed in just a few locations worldwide. one of them is bass rock, in the firth of forth, but last year the colony was decimated by bird flu. our climate editorjustin rowlatt went to look for signs of recovery among the gannets, who have previously caught the attention of sir david attenborough. bass rock in scotland's firth of forth is the largest gannet colony in the world. david attenborough's team visited bass rock three years ago at the height of summer. the whole of bass rock is jam packed with two nests

to every square metre. the island and its huge gannet population was featured in the bbc�*s celebrated wild isles series. but in the spring they return to their breeding grounds and each couple re—establish their partnership with a delicate courtship display. but this time last year, right in the middle of the breeding season, bird flu was detected on bass rock. it could not have hit at a worse time. gannets, including chicks, died in their thousands. these images taken before bird flu hit in 2020 and last year show a dramatic reduction in the gannet population on bass rock. a year on and we are headed back to bass rock with a team of scientists from edinburgh university who are doing the first population

survey of the gannets this year. in 2021, it was estimated there were 150,000 birds, 75,000 breeding pairs here on the rock. experts say they have seen huge changes. this area was completely covered with birds, gannets everywhere, not breeding, but it was just filled with life. maggie shedden is a guide on bass rock. she's been coming here virtually every week for more than 20 years. slowly, in the space of three weeks, this colony was just empty. it was heartbreaking to watch that this magnificent bird that is so strong just have no power at all. so it's going to start from the far corner. so what is the gannet population like now? the scientists launch a drone

to survey the birds. the plan is to use a! to get a really accurate count. we're trying to use artificial intelligence to automatically detect live birds and dead birds on bass rock, gannets in particular, because obviously humans are far more prone to error. so you can get tired, you can get bored of counting the birds, which means you get less accurate as time goes on. a computer doesn't get bored, it doesn't get tired. so it can perform these calculations in minutes in what would take a person hours or even days to complete. but even without ai, you can see that quite a lot of birds have come back on the ground. it's clear many have chicks. great news for the colony. and some birds that have survived the flu show unexpected changes. look at this. the gannet�*s distinctive blue iris sometimes turns black. maggie is delighted by how well the colony is doing. this is magnificent what we're seeing here. it truly is.

when we return this year, we didn't know quite how it was going to unfold. and what we are seeing now, there's established breeders that have survived us a lot more than i think we hoped for. but gannets tend to pair for life. lots of the birds haven't built nests. it means they're waiting for their partners to return to breed. but it is very late in the season, and maggie fears most will have perished in the outbreak. it'll be a couple of months before the scientists publish theirfindings. a team from the rspb has estimated the survival rate of adult birds is down 42%. it is a big hit, but the good news is the gannet colony here at bass rock will survive. justin rowlatt, bbc news,

of sarina wiegman, england might never have become european champions, but from the start the odds were stacked against her from ever making a career in football. there have been a lot of barriers. yes. well, first, when i started playing, because when i was a little kid, i wasn't allowed to play. so it was basically illegal. in order to fit in, she cut her hair short to play in an all boys team with her twin brother. i knew at a very young age that i wanted to do something in sports and the only thing i could see to become a pe teacher. i've got them. by the late nineties, she was a fully fledged international player, but with no money in women's football, she still had to teach full time. yes. sarina. oh, that's a good photo. and worked alongside denis keller in the hague. so ijustjuggled and i was always on the edge, being overloaded, trying to keep stable. but i think being a pe teacher really, really helped me in developing as a coach. how would you describe sarina? she is hard on the content, soft on relation. what do you mean by that? you have to do what you say. she knows what you want.

meanwhile, she's also very soft on the relation so she can tell a bad message, but she doesn't lose the respect for you. after retiring as a player, she left teaching to pursue coaching full time, and after successful stints with local clubs, the dutch fa came calling to manage a side in the doldrums just months before their home euros. she would soon find herself standing alongside giants of the game. it was here with the women's national side that wiegman really made her mark first as the assistant, then in the top job. in a crowded field of dutch male footballing legends, sarina stands alone. sometimes you've got a generation of football players. and we had in 2017, they came from nothing. they started at zero and they ended as hero. and she was really the boss on that success. by 2021, it was england's turn for an overhaul, winning a major trophy

the next summer. and i think the euros completely. defines like what effect she's had. i think as a person, what likei what you see is what you get. i think the experiences that i've had with her, | direct, honest, you know, really wants to win. - we'll do what it takes to win. the first manager in history to win back to back euros with different nations has now been given an honorary cbe for her achievements. do you feel a bit more english now? yes, absolutely. what i really noticed that wanting to win a tournament was so deep in society that it was almost a trauma. now, after winning, people were so proud and it was so intense and has really, really been incredible. and now as they land down under, a nation hopes her young team can upgrade champions of europe to the ultimate prize. what would your message

to your players be as they embark on their first world cup under you? we've worked our butts off to be to be there and to be at our best. it's such a big occasion, but always remember why you start playing football because you loved the game and get the kid in you out of there and enjoy it and give your very best. and then we'll see what will bring us. and then we have this, still, we have this dream. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme. i'm not going to say i'm angry, definitely not angry to give you up. the former paralympian ellie simmonds has revealed she was put up for adoption at two weeks old — and she's made an emotional documentary about tracing her birth mother. ellie will be on the sofa to tell us more at ten to seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london. disability groups and trade unions have raised further concerns about plans to close almost every train ticket office. industry body the rail delivery group insists the move will "modernise customer service" as just 12% of passengers buy tickets at offices. the government will make the final decision on which ones will be axed. but some say the plans haven't been thought through as it could have a huge impact on how disabled people travel. they talk about, well, we're going to be improving the ticket vending machines and making it so that they all take cash and they're all able to sell all available rail products. for example, the 50% wheelchair discount that you only get currently from speaking to a member of staff at the ticket office. is that going to be in place by the time that the ticket offices are closed? and this is all detail and information that we don't know and the public doesn't know.

a book of condolence has been opened forjohn berylson, the owner and chairman of millwall football club who died on tuesday. us police have confirmed the 70—year—old lost his life in a car accident in the state of massachusetts. millwall are inviting supporters to pay their respects via a book at the den which is open from 9.00 this morning. landmarks across the capital have turned blue to mark 75 years of the nhs. the london eye and palace of westminster were among the sites that were lit up. it's was all part of celebrations highlighting all the health service has achieved and looking ahead to its future. meanwhile, there's a call for more people to step forward and support the nhs by volunteering. the charity royal voluntary service is recruiting for a number of different roles including offering lifts to appointments and helping out at dementia groups. it says it needs 25,000 new volunteers to boost efforts ahead of the busy winter period.

let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. morning. we are in for a more settled day today weather wise, largely dry with some sunny spells. now, i say largely dry. there is an outside chance of a shower this morning, but most places avoiding those. some patchy cloud, yes, but still the sunny spells and that cloud dissolving through the afternoon. a south—westerly breeze developing. temperatures reaching 22 celsius. a pleasant evening in the sunshine. then overnight, it's dry and it's clear. still breezy, however, into friday morning, minimum temperature, nine celsius and clear skies mean a bright start. tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the south. the wet weather stays to the west of the uk, but that southerly breeze is dragging in some warmer, more humid air. plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. it's a dry day and the temperature getting up into the high 205,28, maybe even 29 celsius. so a warm night as well,

friday into saturday. then a cold front sweeps through saturday itself and that brings the potential for some thundery showers, sunny spells, but temperatures still warm. that's it — head to our website for coverage of the nhs at 75, and life on the wards at kings college hospital. we're back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... a fair dealfor savers — bosses from britain's biggest banks will face the financial watchdog

today, over concerns they're failing to pass on interest rate rises. labour pledges to reform education — sir keir starmer will tell us his plans — if elected — ahead of a major speech this morning. good morning from headingley, where the third ashes test starts this morning. england have to win to keep the series alive — which is what the women's team did last night, beating australia at the oval in their latest t20 match. paralympian ellie simmonds reveals how she was given up as a baby atjust two weeks old — she'll tell us about her new documentary on the relationship between disability and adoption. good morning. we have some heavy rain moving into northern ireland today and later into western scotland. forthe today and later into western scotland. for the rest, a cloudy start with one or two showers but brightening up. the driest and

sunniest conditions in the south—east. all the details late in the programme. it's thursdayjuly 6th — our main story... the bosses of the four biggest banking groups are meeting the financial watchdog today to discuss concerns that interest rates on savings accounts aren't increasing as quickly as those for mortgages. the banks have denied accusations from mps that they've been profiteering. our cost—of—living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. bank customers are feeling the pressure — charged lots to borrow money, but given very little reward to save it. so today, the financial conduct authority wants to turn up the pressure on those in charge of the banks. the base rate at the bank of england has ticked up 13 times in the last year and a half. lenders have been quick to follow by upping the interest rates on mortgages, but sluggish to dish out more for savings — especially on easy—access accounts.

if you're a borrower, you're seeing — pretty quickly — interest rates being passed on, particularly if you're on a variable—rate mortgage. we've actually got a variable savings rate — it's not actually rising as much as you would hope — so it is very much a case, again, of having a look at the wider market, seeking out mutuals and challenger banks and moving your money. loyalty doesn't always pay in this case. mps and consumer groups have accused the big four banks of being the worst offenders. between them, they also own halifax, bank of scotland, royal bank of scotland, and the ulster bank. so any changes agreed today will affect millions of savers. the financial conduct authority doesn't have the power to force banks to increase rates, but they say they are hoping for a positive outcome today. we're still seeing rates of less than 1% on some instant—access accounts offered by the big banks. clearly, that has to change. it's not right that mortgage—holders are being made to feel the pain of interest rate rises, while many very loyal savers are not

getting the full benefit. so hopefully the fca can make a meaningful difference here, and nudge the banks even further in the right direction. new rules to better protect customers are coming into force this summer, and the regulator is keen for lenders to get in line now to strike a quicker balance between what they're taking from customers and what they're giving back. colletta smith, bbc news. let's get more of this morning's main stories, naga has details. thanks, charlie. the government has suffered another series of defeats in the house of lords over its plans to deport asylum seekers who arrive in the uk on small boats. peers backed five new amendments to the illegal migration bill. our political correspondent ione wells can tell us more. good morning. what exactly has the lords objected to and what happens to the bill now?— lords objected to and what happens

to the bill now? good morning. there are a couple — to the bill now? good morning. there are a couple of— to the bill now? good morning. there are a couple of things _ to the bill now? good morning. there are a couple of things that _ to the bill now? good morning. there are a couple of things that lords - are a couple of things that lords have pushed back on this bill which essentially seeks to detain and deport anyone who arrives in the uk through what the government describes as an illegal route. for example, on small boats. now, the first thing is there was quite a bit of a backlash towards plans for home office officials to determine how old a child is, and if they are deemed to be over 18 they could be detained and deported. the opposition centres around the fact that this means anyone wrongly identified as of 18 could be deported without any safeguarding. the lords have inserted a new clause saying people should have the right to appeal these decisions. the second thing, there was a big push, including from some conservative peers, for the creation and commitment to the creation of more safe and legal routes for asylum seekers and refugees to come to the uk because at the moment there is

only safe and legal routes are established from certain countries. places like ukraine, for example, or afghanistan. those are two of the main big changes that the peers have inserted into this bill. government have always argued that this bill is fair and proportionate and what is likely to happen now is what is known as a kind of ping—pong process in parliament, are back and forth between the house of commons and the house of lords because i think ministers are expected to tell mps to reject two new clauses that the lords have tried to put in. i think this bill could still have quite a way to go before it passes through parliament. way to go before it passes through arliament. ,., ., way to go before it passes through parliament-— way to go before it passes through arliament. ., ., ,, , ., parliament. indeed. go to, thank you so much. parliament. indeed. go to, thank you so much- lone _ parliament. indeed. go to, thank you so much. ione wells, _ parliament. indeed. go to, thank you so much. ione wells, there. - a report into groping allegations against the former government whip, chris pincher, is due to be published this morning. mr pincher stood down as deputy chief whip after allegations of sexual harassment in a private—members club used by conservative mp5. the parliament's standards committee report could lead to a by—election in his constituency of tamworth, if a suspension of more than ten days is agreed.

the bbc understands that a deal for the uk to return to the european union's science research programme — horizon europe — has been negotiated. the proposed deal is awaiting approvalfrom the prime minister. the uk was frozen out of the £85 billion project following a dispute with brussels about post—brexit trading arrangements for northern ireland. the boss of shell has warned energy bills could rise again due to demand from china and cold winter weather. wael sawan said cutting fossil—fuel production in the move towards renewables — at this stage — would be "dangerous and irresponsible". the reality is, the energy system of today continues to desperately need oil and gas. and before we are able to let go of that, we need to make sure that we have developed the new energy systems of the future. and we are not yet — collectively — moving at the pace that requires that to happen. a russian rocket has hit

an apartment building in ukraine, reportedly killing at least four people. it happened in the western city of lviv, close to the polish border, destroying dozens of flats. our security correspondent gordon corera is in kyiv. gordon, good morning. what more can you tell us about this latest attack? . . you tell us about this latest attack? , ., , , , . ~' attack? yes, a missile struck overnight- — attack? yes, a missile struck overnight. this _ attack? yes, a missile struck overnight. this residential i attack? yes, a missile struck- overnight. this residential building in lviv, a long way from the front lines in the west of the country, close to the polish border. it doesn't get it that often. that has caused a lot of shock at this missile attack hitting a residential building, doing really extensive damage as you can see from at the scene. four people killed but also search and rescue still going on amidst the debris to see if there are any more survivors and at least 30 or so people injured. president zelensky has also responded, promising a tangible response to the

enemy, as he puts it, a sign of the alarm and concern about the strikes which have been killing civilians recently. there was a drone strike which killed three people last week and earlier this week that attack in and earlier this week that attack in a pizza restaurant, killing 13 people. search and rescue operations continuing in response to that attack on the residential building in lviv. ., ., in lviv. orden, for the moment, thank you- _ in lviv. orden, for the moment, thank you. gordon _ in lviv. orden, for the moment, thank you. gordon corera - in lviv. orden, for the moment, thank you. gordon corera for. in lviv. orden, for the moment, | thank you. gordon corera for us. the parent company of facebook and instagram has officially launched a new app that's widely seen as a rival to twitter. meta describes its new platform — threads — as a "text—based conversation app". our north america technology reporter, james clayton, has more. last month, these two titans of tech challenged each other to a physical fight. it wasn't clear if they were joking. but meta's new app — called threads — is deadly serious for twitter. it's been branded the twitter—killer. these were my thoughts just after the app went live.

so, first thoughts — this isjust very similar to twitter. very similar. only looks like there's one feed here. in terms of optics, though...identical. ok, what's this? can you re... can you retwee... oh, repost, not retweet. i'm going to... this is an article by a friend of mine, so i'm going to repost this. add to story. so this is different — so you can directly add a story... he chuckles. ..to your instagram. yeah, this is just so clearly directed as a direct competitor on twitter. i mean, it doesn't take a genius to work that out. however, although this is essentially a copy of twitter, experts say it's a pretty good copy — and one that could be a problem for elon musk. i think he should be worried. i think he should be very concerned because this is a real challenge to his platform now. and there hasn't been a real

challenge of platform until today. and it's only going to get better, i think, so i think that he will be concerned about how many people are talking about it and how many people are starting to use it. mark zuckerberg said he wanted the app to be used by a billion people, and that twitter had had the opportunity to expand, but hadn't nailed it. but for some, it's a little odd that people frustrated with how twitter is run might be going to a meta—run platform. meta is no stranger to controversy. last year, whistle—blower frances haugen said the company had put profits over safety. mr musk tweeted after the launch... but if this was a fight, it does look like mark zuckerberg has had a good first round. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. after 27 years of service, europe's ariane 5 rocket took off for the final time last night. it blasted off on its 117th and final launch, to send two

lots of questions being asked of the lenders of the banks. a lot of people asking, are they profiteering from the current situation in relation to interest rates? there is a meetin: relation to interest rates? there is a meeting between _ relation to interest rates? there is a meeting between the _ relation to interest rates? there is a meeting between the financial i a meeting between the financial watchdog and the bosses of the four biggest banking groups. they're being accused of failing to increase interest rates on savings as quickly as they raised them for mortgages. eric leenders is from uk finance — which represents the banking industry. good morning. can you explain how this works? the bank of england raises interest rates, currently at 5%. savings rates increase, but at a much slower pace compared to how mortgage rates increase. why is that? ~ �* , mortgage rates increase. why is that? . 2 ., mortgage rates increase. why is that? ~ 3 ., , mortgage rates increase. why is that? , '. that? well, it's a very difficult balance. that? well, it's a very difficult baiance- at — that? well, it's a very difficult balance. at the _ that? well, it's a very difficult balance. at the moment - that? well, it's a very difficult balance. at the moment in i that? well, it's a very difficult| balance. at the moment in the that? well, it's a very difficult - balance. at the moment in the middle of a cost—of—living crisis, there is

very much tension between the amount that a bank might want to increase its rates to borrowers, which generates the income, which in turn extent reward for savers. on the one hand, you will have borrowers who want to minimise that repayment and on the other hand you will have to savers who want to optimise the amount of interest income they get to top up their budgets. pricing committees within the balance across the uk -- committees within the balance across the uk —— within the banks will be considering whether to prioritise, where to perhaps add to borrow at rates and where perhaps to add to the different savings products. so that they can, i guess, alice, as i say, the needs of all of their customers. d0 say, the needs of all of their customers— say, the needs of all of their customers. , .«r ., ., , customers. do they make more money for mortgages — customers. do they make more money for mortgages or _ customers. do they make more money for mortgages or savings _ customers. do they make more money for mortgages or savings accounts? i for mortgages or savings accounts? well... the way that banking works is that ostensibly the savings are deposited and they are used to lend to mortgages and loans, etc. the

advantage of borrowing that money, and interest rates charged, that interest rate less operating costs is then paid back to savers as a reward for providing those deposits. so it is not quite a like for like comparison as you would describe. it is more about, as i say, balancing the amount charged to borrowers versus the amount to reward savers, very conscious that most of us are facing cost of living pressures. does it sound reasonable to you that the average rate for a two year mortgage deal is at 6.47% but the average easy access savings rate is at 2.45%? there is a difference of 4.02 percentage points. does that seem reasonable when you're talking about how the banks are balancing? well, i think we have to sort of break that down a bit because we really need to compare apples with apples rather than with pears. if i was to say a two—year fixed mortgage rate with a two year savings bond,

actually out in the marketplace, you would probably pay about 6% for the fixed rate mortgage versus about 5% for the savings rate. that spread very much narrows in a like for like comparison. is very much narrows in a like for like comparison-— comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? _ comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? well, _ comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? well, i _ comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? well, i think- comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? well, i think it i comparison. is that 1% spread reasonable? well, i think it is because within _ reasonable? well, i think it is because within that _ reasonable? well, i think it is because within that spread i reasonable? well, i think it is| because within that spread the reasonable? well, i think it is - because within that spread the bank, the institution needs to cover its costs so it needs to think about its own operating costs, the inflationary pressures it faces into, and obviously, you know, as we continue in quite a difficult cost of living environment we are going to see more arrears so there is a degree of building up reserves to ensure that the banks are resilient, should they face an increased arrears pattern over the next six to 12 months. arrears pattern over the next six to 12 months-— arrears pattern over the next six to 12 months. ., ., , ., ., ., 12 months. you have explained all of this to me and _ 12 months. you have explained all of this to me and i _ 12 months. you have explained all of this to me and i were _ 12 months. you have explained all of this to me and i were viewers, i 12 months. you have explained all of this to me and i were viewers, thank you. the chancellor, though, you would assume he knows and you have had meetings with him, he says the

banks are taking too long to pass on increases in interest rates to savers. why does he think that it is an interesting observation, actually. i think the financial conduct authority probably back in february, to all of the banks and building february, to all of the banks and buildin: . , february, to all of the banks and buildina . , february, to all of the banks and buildin. , , _ building societies in the uk saying one of the things _ building societies in the uk saying one of the things they _ building societies in the uk saying one of the things they wanted i building societies in the uk saying one of the things they wanted to i one of the things they wanted to ensure that the industry was doing was passing on rate rises and obviously those rate rises by extension to savers very efficiently. so i would imagine that, as part of the conversation today, the financial conduct authority wants to understand from those in the room how they have gone about ensuring an efficient pass—through. about ensuring an efficient pass-through.— pass-through. with your observations, _ pass-through. with your observations, looking i pass-through. with your i observations, looking around pass-through. with your - observations, looking around now, and i know there is this meeting today with the banks, but do you think there are many people who can afford to save more than those who are concerned about their mortgages? we are seeing quite an interesting

change in behaviours over the last two or three years. if i was to think about the pandemic, where i think about the pandemic, where i think going into the pandemic and lockdown, there was a huge degree of concern around job loss and people actually having to draw on their savings. what we saw was counterintuitive. people built up savings, they were spending less, and initiatives such as the furlough allowed customers to do that. base rates over the last 12 or 18 months, where they have risen, whether it is clearly difficult for borrowers it presents an opportunity for savers, and i think another aspect of the conversation this morning will be how those banks building societies around the table have rather sort of prioritised i would say three buckets of savers. you have the instant access account you have referenced, really a sidecar or a reserve tank for the current account. the customer choosing that

type of product really prioritises the convenience of being able to swap money into and out of a current account. then you have the regular saver account were putting money aside each month built savings. we are seeing more of that and we're also seeing transfer away from those instant access accounts. and that is where consumers want to see a higher rate of interest, that is the incentive to save more. and then perhaps the third book it would be those customers who are looking to top up their monthly income, may be a pension annuity, their salary. they have a lump sum and are prepared to invest that for a fixed period and attract that higher rate of return. so whilst we are starting to see some overall borrowing... sorry, some overall savings come down, it is fascinating to see that with rates rising, consumers are becoming far more aware of the opportunity to earn interest and thinking much more proactively about the best way to do that. eric leenders. — the best way to do that. eric leenders, managing director of personalfinance at

leenders, managing director of personal finance at new quay finance, thank you for your time this morning on breakfast. it is always risky to talk about stereotypes but when you talk about drummers in bands you think about big characters and not necessarily those who think of their health first and foremost. but those who think of their health first and foremost.— those who think of their health first and foremost. but they are fit because they _ first and foremost. but they are fit because they use _ first and foremost. but they are fit because they use so _ first and foremost. but they are fit because they use so much - first and foremost. but they are fitj because they use so much energy, properly sweating after a session. that is true. clem burke is maybe going to challenge the perception of drummers. he was the drummer for blondie and his foundation has been carrying out research which suggests regular percussion is brilliant for the brain. it's particularly useful for young people with autism and now clem wants drumming to go on the national curriculum. tim muffett went to find out more. itjust makes me feel free. if something bad's happening, it can just take the mind off things. the power of drumming. how does it make you

feel when you play? happy and calm. abbot�*s lea school in liverpool provides specialised support for autistic students. it's involved in pioneering research monitoring the impact of drumming. when i play the drums, it makes me feel happier on the outside and the inside. it's a chance for them to escape into a different world. it's the sound they can hear, the rhythm that they can create. loving that routine and knowing that every time they hit the drum in that way, that sound is going to happen. it's the latest phase of a scientific study. the first part was published last year. neuroscientists took mri scans of people who'd never drummed before, but then did so regularly for eight weeks. many of them had been diagnosed with autism. when you look at the sort of dynamic interaction

between different bits of the brain, the tuning of those areas really improved, reflecting the plasticity and learning processes that had gone on over those eight weeks. and what would be the ramifications of that? you hear about the stories about better behavioural control at home, less major mood swings — rather impulsive behaviours can somehow be tuned down. the positive impact drumming can have on young people who are autistic is one thing. there are now calls for drumming to become part of the national curriculum. time for a dance floor classic. # once i had a love and it was a gas. # soon turned out had a heart of glass. clem burke has been the drummer with blondie since 1975. fronted by debbie harry, the band are still making music and playing live. you know, your body and your mind are working, and also your

heart is very important. it becomes like an aerobic exercise. the clem burke drumming project began in 2008 to explore the health benefits in scientific detail. now the organisation wants drumming to take place in all schools in england. you would like drumming on the national curriculum. how important is it to you that that happens? well, i think it would be wonderful that it did happen. to sit down with a kid and, like, show him a basic drum pattern... see that they first struggle with it, and you see the enlightenment that happens once they get it. music is a big helping hand in life in general. as owain wyn evans knows all too well. drumming absolutely changed my life. i've been playing the drums in some capacity since i was about six or seven years old. the one thing that i've always loved about the drums is that you feel

like you're part of it. and as somebody who suffered from anxiety, being behind a drum kit has helped me so many times over the years and continues to. two, three, four! bbc news theme. owain's 24 hour drumathon in 2021 raised £3 million for children in need. # five colours in her hair. it also promoted the benefits of drumming. benefits which some believe all schoolchildren should experience. wheh—hey! tim muffett, bbc news. oh, my goodness. that was absolutely incredible. why not? why not? i'm trying to make a link to the — why not? why not? i'm trying to make a link to the next _ why not? why not? i'm trying to make a link to the next story, _ why not? why not? i'm trying to make a link to the next story, may _ why not? why not? i'm trying to make a link to the next story, may be - a link to the next story, may be about fitness.— a link to the next story, may be about fitness. drum fitness and i think it is fair, _ about fitness. drum fitness and i think it is fair, without _ about fitness. drum fitness and i think it is fair, without causing i think it is fair, without causing offence to any drummers. we are going to be talking to britain's fastest ever sprinter.

zharnel hughes — who ran the 100 metres in 9.83 seconds last month, breaking linford christie's long—held british record — will be dashing onto the sofa at 8:50. usually when we show pictures and you cut them and you think, ok, you willjust see part of you cut them and you think, ok, you will just see part of what you cut them and you think, ok, you willjust see part of what happens is we are talking, that is the whole thing and some space left, as well. 9.83 seconds, fabulous. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. disability groups and trade unions have raised further concerns about plans to close almost every train ticket office. industry body the rail delivery group insists the move will "modernise customer service" as just 12 percent of passengers buy tickets at offices. the government will make the final decision on which ones will be axed. but some say the plans haven't been thought through as it could have a huge impact on how

disabled people travel. they talk about, well, we're going to be improving the ticket vending machines and making it so that they all take cash and they're all able to sell all available rail products. for example, the 50% wheelchair discount that you only get currently from speaking to a member of staff at the ticket office. is that going to be in place by the time that the ticket offices are closed? and this is all detail and information that we don't know and the public doesn't know. a book of condolence has been opened forjohn berylson, the owner and chairman of millwall football club who died on tuesday. us police have confirmed the 70—year—old lost his life in a car accident in the state of massachusetts. millwall are inviting supporters to pay their respects via a book at the den which is open from 9 this morning. landmarks across the capital have

turned blue to mark 75 years of the nhs. the london eye and palace of westminster were among the sites that were lit up. it's was all part of celebrations highlighting all the health service has achieved and looking ahead to its future. meanwhile, there's a call for more people to step forward and support the nhs by volunteering. the charity royal voluntary service is recruiting for a number of different roles including offering lifts to appointments and helping out at dementia groups. it says it needs 25,000 new volunteers to boost efforts ahead of the busy winter period. let's take a look at the tubes now — there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. morning. we are in for a more settled day today weather wise, largely dry with some sunny spells. now, i say largely dry. there is an outside chance of a shower this morning, but most places avoiding those. some patchy cloud, yes, but still the sunny spells and that cloud dissolving through the afternoon. a south—westerly breeze developing.

temperatures reaching 22 celsius. a pleasant evening in the sunshine. then overnight, it's dry and it's clear. still breezy, however, into friday morning, minimum temperature, nine celsius and clear skies mean a bright start. tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the south. the wet weather stays to the west of the uk, but that southerly breeze is dragging in some warmer, more humid air. plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. it's a dry day and the temperature getting up into the high 205,28, maybe even 29 celsius. so a warm night as well, friday into saturday. then a cold front sweeps through saturday itself and that brings the potential for some thundery showers, sunny spells, but temperatures still warm. that's it — head to our website for coverge of the nhs at 75 and life on the wards at kings college hospital. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt.

what he calls a "class ceiling" today. his proposed reforms to the education system in england are the fifth of labour's five "missions", which would form the basis of the party's policies in government. sir keirjoins us now from a college in gillingham, kent. good morning to you. when we talk about reforms in education, it sounds very big, sounds very important in some people would say very much needed but it also sounds quite distant. what difference would your administration make to the classroom? if! your administration make to the classroom?— your administration make to the classroom? if i can start with the wider question, _ classroom? if i can start with the wider question, why _ classroom? if i can start with the wider question, why are - classroom? if i can start with the wider question, why are we i classroom? if i can start with the | wider question, why are we doing this? because the ambition is to remove barriers to opportunity and i would describe as saying that we want to break the link between where

people start in life as children and young people and where they end up, because for years that has been flatlining or going backwards, the sense that you are determined more by the earnings of your parents than you are by your talent and that is one of the ways i've described this as breaking the glass ceiling that we still have in our society. that does mean change in our early years provision and our schools and skills. i accept the challenge, if you like, that you put to me that this will take time but the missions i've set out and this is what i would hope to put in place if we are privileged enough to be elected into government, they are intended to be a driving sense of purpose. what would an incoming labour government try to achieve the country over five or more years that would bring about material change? i'm not running away from the fact that there are problems in the day to day, i accept that, but what i think has gone wrong in the last 13 years is we have been stuck in what i call

sticking plaster politics where we patch up what we have got, but we don't fix the fundamentals and i want an don't fix the fundamentals and i wantan incoming don't fix the fundamentals and i want an incoming labour government to fix the fundamentals and one of thoseis to fix the fundamentals and one of those is making sure where you start in life does not determine where you end. as you can tell this is something i'm passionate about and it's my own story, if you like. i started from a working—class family and my dad was a toolmaker and worked in the factory my mum was a nurse and i was lucky enough to put —— two, the leader of the prow —— crown prosecution service on the leader of the labour party so it's about aspiration opportunity and change. i accept it is medium to long—term change but it is vitally needed and will give those children and families the opportunity that in my view they strongly deserve. if i may. do. my view they strongly deserve. if i ma . ~ ., ., my view they strongly deserve. if i ma , �* ., ., ., my view they strongly deserve. if i ma. ., ., ., ,, my view they strongly deserve. if i ma. .,., ., , i”, may. a lot of that sounds very wordy and very important _ may. a lot of that sounds very wordy and very important but _ may. a lot of that sounds very wordy and very important but i'm _ may. a lot of that sounds very wordy and very important but i'm not i may. a lot of that sounds very wordy and very important but i'm not quite | and very important but i'm not quite sure where that would leave a

teacher with a classroom that doesn't have enough pens or pencils. i'm not sure it where it leaves a school whose roof is leaking or the heating doesn't work all the windows don't fit. you know those stories and i'm not sure where any of what you just said will make any difference to what happens in the classroom. it difference to what happens in the classroom. . ~ difference to what happens in the classroom. ., ,, ., difference to what happens in the classroom-— classroom. it will make a huge difference _ classroom. it will make a huge difference but _ classroom. it will make a huge difference but what _ classroom. it will make a huge difference but what i'm - classroom. it will make a huge difference but what i'm setting classroom. it will make a huge i difference but what i'm setting out todayis difference but what i'm setting out today is what the initial first steps will be. you are right to indicate we have a shortage of teachers at the moment for core subjects like maths and physics. we don't have teachers in those areas in our schools in sufficient numbers and so within the plan we are setting out day there is a plan to recruit 6500 more teachers in those areas where there are shortages so you get this sense of a qualified teacher in maths and physics teaching in those areas and what we

will do is get rid of the tax break thatis will do is get rid of the tax break that is therefore private schools at the moment and use that money straightaway to recruit those teachers and also put in place a written text —— retention policy because too many teachers are leaving and burnt out too early and need a retention policy so they are within what we are trying to do today, but i do feel strongly that if we don't do the long—term change as well, we've got to look at the language skills that young people need and that's something we can do at reception stage. every parent will know and it's a wonderful thing and fantastic and it's likely to hold back the rest of their lives, so we want to put provision in their and we want to make sure that we look again at the curriculum and make sure there is a greater emphasis on arts and creative subjects within the curriculum and

there isn't that at the moment and that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. _ that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. if _ that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. if i _ that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. if i may, _ that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. if! may, i— that makes a huge difference. we are limited for time. if i may, i want i limited for time. if i may, i want to bring you back to the core questions and let's keep it simple. will you spend more money on schools? . �* will you spend more money on schools? , ~ ., ., schools? yes. and today we are settin: schools? yes. and today we are setting out _ schools? yes. and today we are setting out what _ schools? yes. and today we are setting out what we _ schools? yes. and today we are setting out what we will - schools? yes. and today we are setting out what we will spend i schools? yes. and today we are i setting out what we will spend and where we will get it from. so setting out what we will spend and where we will get it from.- where we will get it from. so give me a sense _ where we will get it from. so give me a sense of _ where we will get it from. so give me a sense of how— where we will get it from. so give me a sense of how much - where we will get it from. so give me a sense of how much that i where we will get it from. so give me a sense of how much that willj where we will get it from. so give i me a sense of how much that will be? if we get rid of the tax break on private school, that yields over £1 billion, and that gives us money to do a number of things, including what ijust set do a number of things, including what i just set out, do a number of things, including what ijust set out, the recruiting of 6500 new teachers in the area. parents watching this will know that where their child is being taught maths and physics and there isn't a maths and physics and there isn't a maths and physics teacher available, that's not a good thing we have to fix that. yes it will cost money and we said where the money will come from and it will be used directly in that case to recruit those teachers.

thank you for that answer so if we stick with some of these money issues and i appreciate the big picture and then the money issues, the current figure for the spend per pupilfor 2023 and 2024 the current figure for the spend per pupil for 2023 and 2024 is that five to 16—year—olds is 7460 per pupil and i'm not sure if it's a figure you recognise. would that number be higher under a labour administration?- higher under a labour administration? ~ , , administration? well yes, in the sense where _ administration? well yes, in the sense where we _ administration? well yes, in the sense where we are _ administration? well yes, in the sense where we are getting i administration? well yes, in the sense where we are getting rid i administration? well yes, in the| sense where we are getting rid of leupolz for private schools and be able to put mum it's a simple question, with the number be higher? where we've made specific pledges we have costed them and we will continue to do that going into the election but at the moment we are facing a very badly damaged economy and at the moment we don't know when the election will be and obviously we will set out our full plans but

the approach i've taken and you can challenge it is, where we've made specific provision we will do something and say recruit 6500 new teachers, we've said how much it will cost, where the money is going to come from, so that's the approach today and it's an approach we will take all the way into the election. why is it so hard for you, and i didn't give you a specific number, some people might be perplexed as to why you just can't say as a pledge, we would spend more per pupil than is being spent now?— is being spent now? well, when i'm sa in: is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're — is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're going _ is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're going to _ is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're going to put _ is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're going to put £1 - is being spent now? well, when i'm saying we're going to put £1 billion i saying we're going to put £1 billion more in, that is what i'm saying. what i don't want to do is make pledges about how much we will spend that i cannot keep or promises that can't be delivered. and therefore the approach i've taken is to say, we will set out specifically what we will do and we will cost that. as we go into the election there will be

more of the costing set out but we will inherit, unfortunately, a very badly broken economy after 13 years of failure under this government, very badly broken public services and we have to pick up that mess fix it and do that and this is what the missions are about, to improve the country as we go forward. flan! missions are about, to improve the country as we go forward. can i ask ou a country as we go forward. can i ask you a couple _ country as we go forward. can i ask you a couple of— country as we go forward. can i ask you a couple of specific— country as we go forward. can i ask you a couple of specific things? i country as we go forward. can i ask| you a couple of specific things? you will be aware of the teachers strike at the moment and there is a suggestion that the school teachers review body has suggested a figure of 6.5% for the pay deal going forward into next year. we don't know that because it has been published, but is that something you would pay? published, but is that something you would -a ? ~ ., ., would pay? well, we will have to wait and see _ would pay? well, we will have to wait and see what _ would pay? well, we will have to wait and see what they _ would pay? well, we will have to wait and see what they do - would pay? well, we will have to i wait and see what they do propose. i think they've made their proposal and it is with the government and the government is sitting on it, which is unforgivable because we need to resolve the strike and we do not want children out because there is industrial action going on so it needs to be resolved. i won't commit to a particular figure and needs to be resolved. i won't commit to a particularfigure and i

needs to be resolved. i won't commit to a particular figure and i will wait and see what the review body says but i tell you what, if we were in power, we would be in the room negotiating this. many people watching would be pretty astonished to know that the government hasn't beenin to know that the government hasn't been in the negotiating room for weeks and weeks and weeks, during which time the dispute is going on, during which time that massively impact on children and young people so it's got to be resolved. the government asked for this pay review body and it's now sitting on the report and i think we are entitled to ask why. get on with it, published report get back in the room and negotiate and compromise and get this over the line so schools can be functioning properly. you will be aware today that the banks and lenders are being questioned about whether they are profiteering from the situation with interest rates and we are also hearing a lot of complaints about supermarkets and petrol pricing, so if you were prime minister, what would you be doing differently to force the hand of those who some people say are taking advantage of the situation? i do

people say are taking advantage of the situation?— the situation? i do want to see banks doing — the situation? i do want to see banks doing the _ the situation? i do want to see banks doing the right - the situation? i do want to see banks doing the right thing i the situation? i do want to see l banks doing the right thing when the situation? i do want to see i banks doing the right thing when it comes to savings, because the mortgage hike that has happened for many people, this tory mortgage bombshell which is largely down to the damage done to our economy by this government. that's really hitting people hard and i do want banks to do the right thing when it comes to savings and in relation to food prices, but in the end, we've got to get out of this by stabilising and growing our economy and that is why today i'm setting up the fifth of my missions on the first of them was how how we grow the economy and raise living standards across the country so we are not stuck in this doom cycle of going round and round with higher bills and higher taxes and lower wages. haste bills and higher taxes and lower wares.~ ., ,, .., bills and higher taxes and lower waes.. ., ,, .., bills and higher taxes and lower waes. , wages. we appreciate your time this mornin: , wages. we appreciate your time this morning. sir— wages. we appreciate your time this morning, sir keir— wages. we appreciate your time this morning, sir keir starmer, _ wages. we appreciate your time this morning, sir keir starmer, leader i wages. we appreciate your time this morning, sir keir starmer, leader of| morning, sir keir starmer, leader of the labour party speaking to us from gillingham.

security especially given what happened at wimbledon. and andy murray is on centre court but we must reflect on yesterday when there are more stoppages one there was the weather but play was suspended twice because of protesters disrupting the matches. britain's katie boulter was one of those effected — as her match against daria saville was halted — while the confetti was cleared up. the break actually worked in boutler�*s favour — she went from trailing 4—2 in a first set tiebreak to winning it, before taking the second set 6—2 — and booking her place in round two. boulter�*s victory was the only british success of the day though. jodie burrage was amongst the other brits that have gone out, she was beaten comfortably on her centre court debut — winning just two games in a straight sets defeat to daria kasatkina. after four days of wearing the famous yellow jersey, adam yates' time leading the tour de france is over for now. australia's jai hindley is the new man in front — with yates dropping down to 5th. hindley attacked in the pyrenees mountains, and no—one could catch him, as he opened up a 47

about my dwarfism. i'll show you the photo album first. aw. so that's my birth mum. right, ok. and that's my birth dad. right. they went through a separation. right. and then that's my birth sister. got all this information. didn't even realise i had this — these health records. this is new. so what is it — like an appointment card, and...? yeah, i think this'd probably be where she got told i had dwarfism... right. ..when she met the genetics... right, ok. does it say anywhere whether it runs in the family, then — whether...? no, no, no. it's... i was the first. oh, yeah, here it is. throughout my birth mum's pregnancy, she felt something wasn't right. and when i was born, despite reassurances from medical staff that i was normal, became convinced there was a problem. a few days after i returned home, the hospital confirmed that i had achondroplasia, and she expressed concern to the midwife that she felt

that there wasn't bonding with myself and requested that i be placed up for adoption. right. ellie joins us now. i was going to say ellie is here now and one of the things, and it's lovely to see you, you are nosy, aren't you? the first thing you did you came in here and you are like, what is this? i'm you came in here and you are like, what is this?— what is this? i'm very nosy and i love to know _ what is this? i'm very nosy and i love to know things. _ what is this? i'm very nosy and i love to know things. that's i what is this? i'm very nosy and i l love to know things. that's really, aood. i love to know things. that's really, good- i will— love to know things. that's really, good. i will flatter— love to know things. that's really, good. i will flatter you. _ love to know things. that's really, good. i will flatter you. it's - love to know things. that's really, good. i will flatter you. it's come l good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but _ good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but it's _ good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but it's one _ good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but it's one thing - good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but it's one thing to - good. i will flatter you. it's come in useful but it's one thing to be | in useful but it's one thing to be curious— in useful but it's one thing to be curious about the world we live in and then— curious about the world we live in and then different to turn it upon yourself— and then different to turn it upon yourself and ask the questions and do it publicly this way. i've always wanted _ do it publicly this way. i've always wanted to — do it publicly this way. i've always wanted to know, especially going through— wanted to know, especially going through this whole journey and now documentary, i've always had these questions _ documentary, i've always had these questions and i think throughout thisjourney i've met so many people along _

will "modernise customer service" as just 12% of passengers buy tickets at offices. the government will make the final decision on which ones will be axed. but some say the plans haven't been thought through as it could have a huge impact on how disabled people travel. a book of condolence has been opened forjohn berylson, the owner and chairman of millwall football club who died on tuesday. us police have confirmed the 70—year—old lost his life in a car accident in the state of massachusetts. millwall are inviting supporters to pay their respects via a book at the den which is open from 9.00 this morning. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. today will see a mixture of patchy cloud and sunny spells, and it will be mainly dry with just the outside chance of a shower in the afternoon. any showers clearing by the evening. maximum temperature, 22 degrees.

that's it — head to our website for coverage of the nhs at 75, and life on the wards at king's college hospital. we're back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... a fair dealfor savers — bosses from britain's biggest banks will face the financial watchdog today, over concerns they're failing to pass on interest rate rises. i'll be looking at the growing gap between savings and mortgage rates — as banks come under pressure to explain themselves. the mothers who were forced to give up their babies for adoption — hundreds of women call on the government to issue an official apology. we did nothing wrong. you know, we all make mistakes.

we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives. good morning from headingley, where the third ashes test starts this morning. england have to win to keep the series alive — which is what the women's team did last night, beating australia at the oval in their latest t20 match. fresh hope for the world's largest colony of gannets off the east coast of scotland — after thousands died last year from bird flu. after thousands died good after thousands died morning. for many of us it is fairly good morning. for many of us it is a fairly cloudy start with some well scattered showers. it will brighten up scattered showers. it will brighten up through the course of the day with some sunny spells developing, but for northern ireland and scotland you can expect rain, especially as we go through the afternoon. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's thursday the 6th ofjuly — our main story... the bosses of the four biggest banking groups are meeting the financial watchdog today to discuss concerns that interest rates on savings accounts aren't

increasing as quickly as those for mortgages. the banks have denied accusations from mps that they've been profiteering. our cost—of—living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. bank customers are feeling the pressure — charged lots to borrow money, but given very little reward to save it. so today, the financial conduct authority wants to turn up the pressure on those in charge of the banks. the base rate at the bank of england has ticked up 13 times in the last year and a half. lenders have been quick to follow by upping the interest rates on mortgages, but sluggish to dish out more for savings — especially on easy—access accounts. if you're a borrower, you're seeing — pretty quickly — interest rates being passed on, particularly if you're on a variable—rate mortgage. we've actually got a variable savings rate — it's not actually rising as much as you would hope — so it is very much a case, again, of having a look at the wider

market, seeking out mutuals and challenger banks and moving your money. loyalty doesn't always pay in this case. mps and consumer groups have accused the big four banks of being the worst offenders. between them, they also own halifax, bank of scotland, royal bank of scotland, and the ulster bank. so any changes agreed today will affect millions of savers. the financial conduct authority doesn't have the power to force banks to increase rates, but they say they are hoping for a positive outcome today. we're still seeing rates of less than i% on some instant—access accounts offered by the big banks. clearly, that has to change. it's not right that mortgage—holders are being made to feel the pain of interest rate rises, while many very loyal savers are not getting the full benefit. so hopefully the fca can make a meaningful difference here, and nudge the banks even further in the right direction. new rules to better protect customers are coming into force this summer, and the regulator is keen for lenders to get in line now

to strike a quicker balance between what they're taking from customers and what they're giving back. colletta smith, bbc news. ina way inawaya in a way a lot of this revolves around the cost of living. one way or another it is about how much things are costing and whether you are getting a fair deal. when the governor of the bank of england talks about supermarkets and petrol prices people pay attention. bank of england governor andrew bailey has said that there is evidence that some retailers are overcharging customers for fuel. this comes a few days after the cma found that supermarkets were making 6p per litre more in profit last year compared to 2019 — there was an even biggerjump in profits for diesel. they set out suggestions to make it easier for drivers to find the cheapest prices.

for andrew bailey this is of course an issue because of the impact it has on inflation, and in this clip that we're about to show you he's speaking to ricky boleto from bbc newsround and says that any moves by the regulator to bring down fuel prices are welcome. the evidence seems to suggest that possibly— the evidence seems to suggest that possibly there is some overcharging going _ possibly there is some overcharging going on _ possibly there is some overcharging going on. that is not the bank of england's— going on. that is not the bank of england's responsibility but i do welcome — england's responsibility but i do welcome the fact and we should all welcome _ welcome the fact and we should all welcome the fact and we should all welcome the fact and we should all welcome the fact that it is tackled. some _ welcome the fact that it is tackled. some sellers of petrol have possibly been charging too much for it. now that's— been charging too much for it. now that's important, it helps us with inflation — that's important, it helps us with inflation but it'sjust fairer if these — inflation but it'sjust fairer if these things are tackled. latest inflation figures show petrol and diesel prices already falling — but them coming down further would help the bank of england — who need to do anything and everything they can to bring down the rate at which prices are rising. ultimately it's only when inflation falls we'll finally see an end

to those interest rate rises that we've been talking about this morning, which of course make things even harder for many people to make ends meet. thank you very much. other news to bring you. a russian rocket has hit an apartment building in ukraine, reportedly killing at least four people. it happened in the western city of lviv, close to the polish border, destroying dozens of flats. our security correspondent gordon corera is in kyiv. this attack in lviv is deadly and there are more concerns that the attacks are encroaching further in. it is unusual to see attacks as far west as a lviv. it has been hit before but not that often. no doubt from this missile, extensive damage to this residential apartment block. emergency services raced to the scene, dozens injured it appears an president zelensky talking about any

response, a tangible one, to the enemy, as he put it. certainly the last of a series of strikes in recent days in which civilians have died. three were killed by a drone strike in sumi and then there was the attack on a pizza restaurant in kramatorsk. it appears that ten russian calibre missiles were launched, seven shutdown, but certainly this extensive damage to this apartment, this residential building in lviv is a surprise because it is so far away from the front line with the fighting normally takes place. for the moment. _ normally takes place. for the moment, thanks _ normally takes place. for the moment, thanks very - normally takes place. for the moment, thanks very much, | normally takes place. for the - moment, thanks very much, gordon. a report into groping allegations against the former government whip chris pincher is due to be published this morning. mr pincher stood down as deputy chief whip after allegations of sexual harassment in a private—members club used by conservative mps. the parliament's standards committee report could lead to a by—election in his constituency of tamworth, if a suspension of more than ten days is agreed.

the bbc understands that a deal for the uk to return to the european union's science research programme — horizon europe — has been negotiated. the proposal is awaiting approval from the prime minister. the uk was frozen out of the £85 billion project following a dispute with brussels about post—brexit trading arrangements for northern ireland. the parent company of facebook and instagram has officially launched a new app that's widely seen as a rival to twitter. meta describes its new platform — threads — as a "text—based conversation app". security arrangements for this weekend's british grand prix will be reviewed after climate change protestors interrupted two matches at wimbledon. it happened as the home secretary suella braverman was meeting police and sports bosses to try to prevent further disruptions at flagship events. our reporter, vincent mcaviney, has more. the storm clouds might have cleared overhead yesterday in sw19, but there was trouble brewing

on the courts. instead of rain halting play, it was two environmental protesters raining down confetti and jigsaw—puzzle pieces, disrupting grigor dimitrov and sho shimabukuro's match on court 18. lightning might not strike twice, but a few hours later, just stop oil did. court 18 was once again doused by a third protester, disrupting british number one katie boulter�*s first—round match against australian daria saville. all three protesters were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage. tim henman — now on the board of the all—england tennis club — expressed his annoyance. prepare as best you can, obviously... you know, the challenge when you've got sort of 35,000+ people coming to your grounds and you've got 18 fields of play, it's not easy. so, yeah, it will be important, i think, for everyone to understand the facts and where these people have come from. but, yeah, it's frustrating. we've had enough disruptions

with the weather, but to get a disruption like that, as well, is — you know, is disappointing. the government has now decided to step in — with the home secretary chairing a meeting yesterday with representatives of various sports organisations to try to prevent further disruptions. of particular concern is this weekend's silverstone grand prix, which was targeted last year. wimbledon is just the latest in a wave of direct—action protests this summer by the environmental group — who disrupted the ashes, the world snooker championships, and the rugby union premiership final. but the group shows no sign of letting up — issuing a statement from one of the protesters, accusing the government of courting disaster and ignoring scientists' climate warnings. wimbledon had already tightened security measures this year — frustrating spectators forced to queue for hours. they're liaising with the police to prevent more protests, and have also stopped selling jigsaws in their shop just in case.

the government says it's working closely with law enforcement to ensure silverstone's high—speed track doesn't end up with a more dangerous orange invasion on sunday. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. fans of '80s music might have been enjoying the new wham! documentary — which dropped on netflix yesterday — but andrew ridgeley has been focused on something else. iimagine it i imagine it would be weird if he watched his own documentary. he's just completed a charity cycle ride from john o'groats to lands end. he and his friend, ben west, completed the 1,080—mile challenge in memory of ben's17—year—old daughter lucy, who took her own life. they've raised around £20,000 so far. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather for all sporting events and for people

just going about their daily business. what is it looking like? it is quite mixed today. good morning. we are starting off with a fair bit of cloud, producing some showers, and we have some rain on the cards but there is some sunshine in the forecast, as well. you can see we've got the peppering of showers in the west. this is the rain coming into northern ireland, and you can see also the extent of the cloud, so some sunny skies in the cloud, so some sunny skies in the midlands into the south—east and north—east scotland. as we go through the day you will also see more holes develop in the cloud, and more holes develop in the cloud, and more of us will see some sunshine. but the rain will continue to advance across northern ireland, eventually getting into western scotland and it is also rather windy out towards the west, particularly in the irish sea coasts. temperatures 15 to 22 degrees. only a very small chance, less than 5%, of a shower today at wimbledon. talking of which here is the chart to show that. the greatest chance of a shower, as i havejust said is

very small, but it will be late morning into the early afternoon and the risk does diminish. heading into the risk does diminish. heading into the evening and overnight, the rain continues across northern ireland, pushing through the rest of scotland, northern england and also north west wales. the south of that some clear skies. still windy in the west and we are looking at a fresh night, as well. tomorrow we start with all of this rain, but through the day it will edge back towards the day it will edge back towards the west. it will be followed by sunshine and showers but some of those will be heavy and thundery. for the rest of england and wales it will be dry, sunny, hot, and increasingly it will turn more humid. but it will be warm across the board, around the moray firth for example, could see 2a or 25 degrees. then it turns more unsettled. carol, thank you. hundreds of mothers who were forced to give up their babies for adoption — simply because they were not married — have written to the government, urging it to think again

about issuing a formal apology. the women say ministers in westminster should follow the scottish and welsh governments, which issued their own apologies earlier this year. the uk government says society was to blame for what happened to the women, not the state — but new research tells a different story, as duncan kennedy reports. two landmark apologies for forced adoptions in wales... and for this, the welsh government is truly sorry. for the decades of pain that you have suffered... ..and scotland. ..a sincere, heartfelt and unreserved apology. it left birth mothers there overjoyed. but what about the rest of the uk? well, a committee of westminster mps recommended the uk government also apologise. but whilst the government said sorry, it didn't offer an official apology. the government's argument for that is that 50, 60 years ago, it was society's attitude towards unmarried women, and not the state, that was to blame

for forced adoptions. but today, that's being challenged. in a letter to the prime minister, hundreds of birth mothers argue the uk state was morally responsible for forced adoptions. and this injustice should, like scotland and wales, result in an apology. come on, boy. the mothers include heather burnley from shropshire. i was 15 when i became pregnant, and that was in 1971. heather says pressure to give up her baby for adoption came first from a state—employed social worker. she said it's going to be very difficult. somebody — and she did use the word — would possibly call him a bastard. she used that word? she used that word. she did, yes. i think that it was definitely, "we are here to make sure that your baby is adopted. you are not keeping it."

she then says in this derbyshire hospital, more pressure came from midwives as she was giving birth. there was no anaesthetic. the midwife said, you know, "perhaps you'll remember this. this will stop you doing it in future. this is to teach you a lesson." that nhs midwife said those words to you? mm. yeah, "this is what you deserve." heather's baby boy was taken from her at ten days. she wouldn't see him again for 3h years. around 180,000 unmarried women were involved in this. many had hoped this 1950 report laying out government policy would help them. as it read, "it is considered essential to keep the unmarried mother and her child together, if this is at all possible." but documents we've seen at the national records office in london show that often didn't happen. how do we know this? well, because this letter says so. it's written by a group

of organisations, including local authorities, adoption agencies and magistrates to the then minister of health in june 1951. and it's almost a plea for resources. they say, "mothers of illegitimate children are driven to adoption because they are unable to find accommodation." it goes on to say that, "she" — the mother — "is forced to part from her baby, whether she wishes it or not." now, this letter ends up with other civil servants in whitehall and you see their responses, saying, "we need to keep expenditure in bounds. we would not consider further expenditure." now these civil servants craft a letter to write back to these organisations saying, in terms, that there's not much more that the minister can do. the documents were discovered by dr michael lambert, who's about to publish this new research linking government policy to forced adoptions. we've seen these documents at the national records office in kew.

what do they show in terms of the state involvement in forced adoptions? the documents show that the government were aware of the circumstances in post—war britain whereby their claim that women were enabled to keep their children is simply not that women were unabled to keep their children is simply not the case, because the resources required to make that a reality simply aren't being provided. and that's a conscious decision on the part of the government, on the part of the british state. dr lambert says society did play a role in shaming unmarried women into giving up their babies for adoption, but that it was governments who could have done more to help them keep their children. reunions with children did take place, but for many — like heather burnley — it took decades. she says an apology from the state for actions taken by the state would now be welcome. that apology, to me, is vital. we did nothing wrong. we all make mistakes. we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives.

that was heather burnley ending duncan kennedy's report. thanks to her for speaking to us. we can now talk to dr michael lambert — who also featured in that report — and diana defries, whose daughter was taken off her for adoption atjust 12 days old. good morning to you both. good morninu. good morning to you both. good morning. good _ good morning to you both. good morning. good morning. - good morning to you both. good morning. good morning. diana,| good morning to you both. good . morning. good morning. diana, you were 16 years _ morning. good morning. diana, you were 16 years old _ morning. good morning. diana, you were 16 years old when _ morning. good morning. diana, you were 16 years old when you - morning. good morning. diana, you were 16 years old when you are - were 16 years old when you are pregnant and i think at six months pregnant, you were... i pregnant and i think at six months pregnant, you were. . .— pregnant, you were... i was near seven and — pregnant, you were... i was near seven and a — pregnant, you were... i was near seven and a half— pregnant, you were... i was near seven and a half months. - pregnant, you were... i was near seven and a half months. i - pregnant, you were... i was near seven and a half months. i was l pregnant, you were... i was near - seven and a half months. i was taken away— seven and a half months. i was taken away to— seven and a half months. i was taken away to a _ seven and a half months. i was taken away to a mother— seven and a half months. i was taken away to a mother and _ seven and a half months. i was taken away to a mother and baby— seven and a half months. i was taken away to a mother and baby home - seven and a half months. i was taken away to a mother and baby home on| away to a mother and baby home on the south _ away to a mother and baby home on the south coast. _ away to a mother and baby home on the south coast. find _ away to a mother and baby home on the south coast.— the south coast. and with the intent of ou the south coast. and with the intent of you having _ the south coast. and with the intent of you having the — the south coast. and with the intent of you having the baby _ the south coast. and with the intent of you having the baby and - the south coast. and with the intent of you having the baby and then - of you having the baby and then what? i of you having the baby and then what? :, , of you having the baby and then what? . , :, , ., , what? i was told very little. i was told that l — what? i was told very little. i was told that l had _ what? i was told very little. i was told that i had brought _ what? i was told very little. i was told that i had brought shame - what? i was told very little. i was told that i had brought shame on| what? i was told very little. i was . told that i had brought shame on the family _ told that i had brought shame on the family so _ told that i had brought shame on the family so i — told that i had brought shame on the family. sol had _ told that i had brought shame on the family. so i had to— told that i had brought shame on the family. so i had to go— told that i had brought shame on the family. so i had to go away- told that i had brought shame on the family. so i had to go away and - told that i had brought shame on the family. so i had to go away and havej family. so i had to go away and have my child _ family. so i had to go away and have my child in _ family. so i had to go away and have my child in secret _ family. so i had to go away and have my child in secret and _ family. so i had to go away and have my child in secret and then - family. so i had to go away and have my child in secret and then i - family. so i had to go away and have my child in secret and then i was - my child in secret and then i was told that— my child in secret and then i was told that if— my child in secret and then i was told that if i_ my child in secret and then i was told that if i really— my child in secret and then i was told that if i really loved - my child in secret and then i was told that if i really loved my - my child in secret and then i was| told that if i really loved my baby i'd told that if i really loved my baby l'd give _ told that if i really loved my baby l'd give it — told that if i really loved my baby l'd give it to _ told that if i really loved my baby l'd give it to a _ told that if i really loved my baby i'd give it to a proper— told that if i really loved my baby i'd give it to a proper family- i'd give it to a proper family because _ i'd give it to a proper family because i_ i'd give it to a proper family because i wasn't _ i'd give it to a proper family because i wasn't a - i'd give it to a proper family because i wasn't a fit - i'd give it to a proper family. because i wasn't a fit mother,

lovely. see you at 9:15. thanks, see you then. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. disability groups and trade unions have raised further concerns about plans to close almost every train ticket office. industry body the rail delivery group insists the move will "modernise customer service" as just 12% of passengers buy tickets at offices. the government will make the final decision on which ones will be axed. but some say the plans haven't been thought through as it could have a huge impact on how disabled people travel. they talk about what we're going to be improving the ticket vending machines and making it so that they all take cash and they're all able to sell all available rail products. for example, the 50% wheelchair discount that you only get currently from speaking to a member of staff at the ticket office. is that going to be in place by the time that the ticket offices are closed?

and this is all detail and information that we don't know and the public doesn't know. a book of condolence has been opened forjohn berylson, the owner and chairman of millwall football club who died on tuesday. us police have confirmed the 70—year—old lost his life in a car accident in the state of massachusetts. millwall are inviting supporters to pay their respects via a book at the den which is open from 9 this morning. a graffiti artist's tribute to the three men killed in reading has been accidentally painted over by a council. the stencil by local artist "peachy" appeared on reading bridge two years ago, and featured three cherubs and the famous lion statue at the centre of nearby forbury gardens. a spokesperson for reading council admitted that "a breakdown in communications" meant the work had recently been removed by mistake. discussions are underway about re—creating the mural. runners, walkers, surfers and skateboarders have joined forces for an event to raise awareness of climate change. it's all for the national

nine celsius and clear skies mean a bright start. tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the south. the wet weather stays to the west of the uk, but that southerly breeze is dragging in some warmer, more humid air. plenty of sunshine around tomorrow. it's a dry day and the temperature getting up into the high 20s, 28, maybe even 29 celsius. so a warm night as well, friday into saturday. then a cold front sweeps through saturday itself and that brings the potential for some thundery showers, sunny spells, but temperatures still warm. that's it — head to our website for coverge of the nhs at 75, and life on the wards at kings college hospital. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the bosses of the uk s leading banks will meet with the financial watchdog today amid concerns they are profiting from the sky—high cost of borrowing. hannah can tell us more. a lot of people are thinking, well,

but here 5 the problem — critics of the high street banks point to this graph, which shows how mortgage rates have gone up pretty quickly in response to the rise in the base rate. this was the leap in october after the so—called mini—budget — an average two—year fixed mortgage is now at over six and half per cent. but when it comes to savings, at first glance high street banks don't seem to be as quick in passing on the higher rates — you can see here what they will pay out on an easy access savings account. that gap between savings and mortgage rates has got bigger. the gap isn t new, it 5 essentially how banks make a profit ?— but at over four percent the chancellor for one feels it may be too?large, and there's a suggestion that banks are consciously not passing those rates on to savers fast enough. the banks though say that it's not a fair comparison, and there are better savings deals out there if you're willing to lock your money away for longer. uk finance represent the banking industry — this is their explanation of how

let's speak to one of the greatest bowlers of all let�*s speak to one of the greatest bowlers of all time,— let's speak to one of the greatest bowlers of all time,— mcgrath, thanks forjoining us. ben stokes saying it's time to forget the whole jonny bairstow controversy, so what about yourself? do you think the western terrace will forgive it? i thought i'd wander through there and mention it and see the response. it won't be forgotten overnight, and that will fire up the crowd and hopefully fire at the england team as well and it will be an incredible match but i also said i would rather then focus on the innings ben stokes had, an incredible hundred and 55, amazing, ratherthan had, an incredible hundred and 55, amazing, rather than the controversy, but that is what sport is. ,, controversy, but that is what sport is. ., �* , ., ., controversy, but that is what sport is. ., ~ , . . , controversy, but that is what sport is. how australia will be worried about the atmosphere _ is. how australia will be worried about the atmosphere and - is. how australia will be worried i about the atmosphere and hostility because of what happened at lord's question what they are used to it, i suppose. if question what they are used to it, i sui iose. y ., question what they are used to it, i sui iose. m u, question what they are used to it, i suiiose. ., . suppose. if you come to england as an australian _ suppose. if you come to england as an australian cricketer, _ suppose. if you come to england as an australian cricketer, playing i suppose. if you come to england as an australian cricketer, playing in l an australian cricketer, playing in the ashes and you didn't cop it from the ashes and you didn't cop it from the crowd, you be thinking something is not right so it might be a bit more intense and fiery than in the

and hopefully the men can take inspiration from that and see what happens here. inspiration from that and see what happens here-— inspiration from that and see what hai iens here. ~ ., ., , ., . happens here. what about this match? chanies happens here. what about this match? chan i es on happens here. what about this match? changes on both _ happens here. what about this match? changes on both sides. _ happens here. what about this match? changes on both sides. you _ happens here. what about this match? changes on both sides. you predicted l changes on both sides. you predicted it would be a whitewash and you said every match would be close and australia would win them all. do you still stand by that question headingley seems to have inspired england more in the past. it’s england more in the past. it's unusualfor_ england more in the past. it's unusual for me _ england more in the past. it�*s unusual for me to make a prediction before the series but with everything that has been happening, i like the way england could go about it and if they have a bit more accountability and a bit smarter and they would be an incredible team, so hopefully they will learn from the first two and see what happens but i'm still backing australia. we saw the last time here in 2019 and australia have three or four opportunities that they let slip, so hopefully it will be another great game. =. hopefully it will be another great iame. ., ~' hopefully it will be another great iame. . ~ y ., hopefully it will be another great iame. ., ~ y ., ., hopefully it will be another great iame. ., ~ ., ., hopefully it will be another great iame_ ., ~' y ., ., ., , , game. -, thank you and all the best for today and _ game. -, thank you and all the best for today and the _ game. -, thank you and all the best for today and the rest _ game. -, thank you and all the best for today and the rest of— game. -, thank you and all the best for today and the rest of the - for today and the rest of the series. lots happening at wimbledon on a big day for british hopes.

yesterday, it was another stop/start day — but not only because of the weather. play on court 18 was stopped, not once, but twice — as 'just stop oil�* protestors disrupted the matches. britain's katie boulter was one of those effected as her match against daria saville was halted while the confetti was cleared up. the break actually worked in boutler�*s favour — she went from trailing 4—2 in a first set tiebreak to winning it, before taking the second set 6—2 — and booking her place in round two. boulter�*s victory was the only british success of the day though. jodie burrage was amongst the other brits that have gone out, she was beaten comfortably on her centre court debut — winning just two games in a straight sets defeat to daria kasatkina. a straight sets defeat too for heather watson, losing to barbora krejcikova of the czech republic in the opening round. disappointment for watson — who had reached the 4th round last year. brits sonay kartal, george loffhagen and arthur fery are also out. elsewhere, defending champion novak djokovic is safely into round three.

he still hasn't lost at wimbledon for ten years. he beat the australian jordan thompson in straight sets to move a step closer to a fifth successive title — and eighth overall at wimbledon. after four days of wearing the famous yellow jersey, adam yates' time leading the tour de france is over for now. australia's jai hindley is the new man in front with yates dropping down to 5th. hindley attacked in the pyrenees mountains and no—one could catch him, as he opened up a 47 second lead from defending championjonas vingegaard. and in the women's giro d'italia, defending champion annemiek van vleuten has extended her lead to 20 seconds after producing an attack of her own and easing to victory on stage six — a 15th giro win and a 101st career victory for the dutch rider. back era headingley, we have to tell you there are heightened security measures because of the protests out other sporting events and to make

sure that the barmy army at the western terrace stay within the confines of good because i've already seen the stewards, the so—called sprinting stewards practising around the perimeter. they were sprinting almost like a relay run with a baton and they do look really fast, so the idea is if anybody tries to get over the perimeter towards the boundary, they could be stopped before they affect the field of play and the wicket. on the field of play and the wicket. on the subject of sprinters we have a fast one coming in, but let's talk about these birds. we're talking gannets this morning — the stunning seabirds which breed in just a few locations worldwide. one of them is bass rock, in the firth of forth. but last year the colony was decimated by bird flu. our climate editorjustin rowlatt went to look for signs of recovery among the gannets, who have previously caught the attention of sir david attenborough. bass rock in scotland's firth of forth is the largest gannet colony in the world.

david attenborough's team visited bass rock three years ago at the height of summer. in summer, the whole of bass rock is jampacked with two nests to every square metre. the island and its huge gannet population was featured in the bbc�*s celebrated wild isles series. but in the spring they return to their breeding grounds and each couple re—establish their partnership with a delicate courtship display. but this time last year, right in the middle of the breeding season, bird flu was detected on bass rock. it could not have hit at a worse time. gannets, including chicks, died in their thousands. these images taken before bird flu hit in 2020 and last year show a dramatic reduction in the gannet

population on bass rock. a year on and we are headed back to bass rock with a team of scientists from edinburgh university who are doing the first population survey of the gannets this year. in 2021, it was estimated there were 150,000 birds, 75,000 breeding pairs here on the rock. experts say they have seen huge changes. this area was completely covered with birds, gannets everywhere, not breeding, but it was just filled with life. maggie shedden is a guide on bass rock. she's been coming here virtually every week for more than 20 years. slowly, in the space of three weeks, this colony was just empty. it was heartbreaking to watch that this magnificent bird that is so strong just have no

power at all. so it's going to start from the far corner. so what is the gannet population like now? the scientists launch a drone to survey the birds. the plan is to use al to get a really accurate count. we're trying to use artificial - intelligence to automatically detect live birds and dead birds _ on bass rock, gannets in particular, because obviously humans are far more prone to error. _ so you can get tired, you can get bored of counting the birds, i which means you get less accurate as time goes on _ a computer doesn't get bored, it doesn't get tired. _ so it can perform these calculations in minutes in what would take i a person hours or even days to complete. i but even without ai, you can see that quite a lot of birds have come back on the ground. it's clear many have chicks. great news for the colony. and some birds that have survived

the flu show unexpected changes. look at this. the gannet�*s distinctive blue iris sometimes turns black. maggie is delighted by how well the colony is doing. this is magnificent what we're seeing here. it truly is. when we return this year, we didn't know quite how it was going to unfold. and what we are seeing now, there's established breeders that have survived us a lot more than i think we hoped for. but gannets tend to pair for life. lots of the birds haven't built nests. it means they're waiting for their partners to return to breed. but it is very late in the season, and maggie fears most will have perished in the outbreak. it'll be a couple of months before the scientists publish theirfindings. a team from the rspb has estimated the survival rate of adult birds is down 42%. it is a big hit, but the good news is the gannet colony here at bass rock will survive.

justin rowlatt, bbc news, the firth of forth. the last time the british 100 metre record was broken, john major was prime minister and will smith was at number one with "boom shake the room". do you want to do that again? will smith was at number one with "boom shake the room". is that what it was called? i thought it was called movement, boom, shake the ring. we rehearsed that, you are going to say that. last month, zharnel hughes broke it again. let's put that achievement into some historical context, alongside some other great british sprinters.

this is what it builds up to. in 192a, harold abrahams took olympic gold in paris by running the 100 metres in 10.6 seconds — a victory immortalised in the film chariots of fire. allan wells couldn t stop breaking british records in the 70s and 80s, including a 100—metres time of 10.25 at the 1980 moscow olympics. in 1993, linford christie became the first brit to run a sub—10 seconds 100 metres, clocking 9.87 seconds in stuttgart. an amazing achievement in itself. that stood until a couple of weeks ago, when zharnel hughes ran it four—hundredths of a second faster, in new york. lets take a look at the moment he did it. it is zharnel hughes of great britain four times european champion goes in six. quick away is blake in the blue. he's light on his feet. and here comes zharnel hughes.

zharnel hughes like a rocket through the second half. eases past coleman, who i think ended in third place. and zharnel hughes then, 9.84. wow! 9.83 in fact it is adjusted to. that from zharnel hughes was quite sepctacular. and the wind? we are trying to check the wind. 1.3 — it's legal. there you go. he cannot believe it. good morning to you, zharnel, what were you saying about the commentary?— were you saying about the commenta ? �* , ., . ., commentary? i've been watching that video over and _ commentary? i've been watching that video over and over _ commentary? i've been watching that video over and over and _ commentary? i've been watching that video over and over and the _ commentary? i've been watching that video over and over and the weight i video over and over and the weight he said. _ video over and over and the weight he said, zharnel hughes, coming through— he said, zharnel hughes, coming through like a rocket, it makes me laugh— through like a rocket, it makes me laugh every— through like a rocket, it makes me laugh every time. but through like a rocket, it makes me laugh every time-— laugh every time. but you did, didn't you? — laugh every time. but you did, didn't you? did _ laugh every time. but you did, didn't you? did you _ laugh every time. but you did, didn't you? did you really i laugh every time. but you did, didn't you? did you really notl didn't you? did you really not believe it? i didn't you? did you really not believe it?— didn't you? did you really not believe it? . ~ ., believe it? i 'ust knew i won the race and believe it? ijust knew i won the race and when _ believe it? ijust knew i won the race and when i _ believe it? ijust knew i won the race and when i turned - believe it? ijust knew i won the race and when i turned around l believe it? ijust knew i won the race and when i turned around i | believe it? ijust knew i won the i race and when i turned around i was saying _ race and when i turned around i was saying thanks and i looked at the board _ saying thanks and i looked at the board and — saying thanks and i looked at the board and i saw the board, 9.83. gk, board and i saw the board, 9.83. ok,
