6:04 am
and those people who have come down specifically are one thing but i saw a lady who had comejogging past and seemed to be bypassed and stomach chance, and when she went off she was in floods of tears, so this is a very sensitive place to be. i think today we will find more and more people will come down here, it's a saturday, and it is of course the end of term and that is what happening at the end of term, a tea party at the grassy area where the crash happened, so i think today i will be here, i will be able to bring you what is happening here, and we will see a lot more people come down here to bring their tributes, their flowers. the us has announced it will send ukraine a package of cluster bombs for its counter—offensive against russia. the weapons are banned by more
6:05 am
than 100 countries because they can kill indiscriminately over a wide area. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera has this report. ukraine's counteroffensive has been under way for a month with heavy fighting in places like bakhmut. but progress has been slower than hoped. ukraine is short of ammunition and facing entrenched russian defensive positions. that's why the pressure has been growing for its western allies to provide more weapons, including cluster munitions, and washington gave the green light. russia has been using cluster munitions since the start of this war to attack ukraine. in this environment, ukraine has been requesting cluster munitions in order to defend its own sovereign territory. these are the type of cluster munitions the us will supply. they scatter tiny bomblets, but they
6:06 am
are highly controversial. the munitions scatter indiscriminately over a wide area. some so—called duds do not explode, leaving a threat to civilians often for years into the future. we condemn it in the strongest sense. the transfer of cluster munitions is contrary to international law and will lead to civilian harm. there is already evidence that russia has been using cluster bombs inside ukraine, like here in kharkiv. more than 120 countries have signed a convention banning their use, but the us, ukraine and russia have not signed up to the ban. here in ukraine defence officials say cluster munitions could make a significant difference on the battlefield, helping them break through russian defences. kyiv argues that russia has been using the weapons in ukraine, so ukraine should have the right to use them on its own territory for its own self defence. by providing these cluster
6:07 am
munitions has been divisive, both within washington and among allies who have been providing weapons to ukraine. nato secretary general today had to tread carefully. is there not a risk that we could see cracks in it nato's unity? when it comes to cluster ammunition there is between allies, because some allies have signed the convention on cluster munitions and they don't have cluster missions are so of course there is no cluster missions to provide to ukraine. all through the war must weapons have been vital for ukraine but there is sometimes frustration that they have not come as quickly as kyiv once. cluster bombs have now been promised, but their arrival could prove controversial. gordon correra, bbc news, kyiv. a bbc presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, according to the sun newspaper. it is understood that the bbc is looking into the allegations. 0ur media editor, katie razall has more.
6:08 am
these accusations concerned serious misconduct by a presenter that the newspaper claims is known to millions. the front page story claims that the man, who has not been named, paid a teenager tens of thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images. mother tells the newspaper youngster, who is now 20, had gone from happy—go—lucky to a ghostlike crack addict in just three years. the family is reported to have complained to the bbc on may 19 this year which leads to questions around what steps the corporation took after the complaint. the family has reported to have become frustrated at the start remained on our. the bbc in a statement said it treats any allegations very seriously and take steps to investigate, including actively trying to speak to those who have contacted them. it's as if it gets no reply they can limit the ability to progress things, but it is not something inquiries, and that it acts on any new information that
6:09 am
comes to light including from newspapers. we understand that the presenter is not scheduled to appear on air in the coming days. murals of mickey mouse and other cartoon characters inside an asylum centre for children in dover have been painted over after an orderfrom the immigration minister. robertjenrick made the call reportedly because he believed they sent too welcoming a message. the home office confirmed the paintings, also depicting tom and jerry and baloo from thejungle book, were covered on tuesday. china says it will uphold a ban on somejapanese food imports in response to tokyo deciding to release treated radioactive water from the wrecked fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. japan insists the water will be filtered to remove most radioactive elements. let's speak to our asia pacific editor, michael bristow. michael, good to see you. this is concerning, but i suppose the authorities have tried to justify why this water is being released.
6:10 am
notjust why this water is being released. not just the authorities why this water is being released. notjust the authorities in why this water is being released. not just the authorities in japan who have given the go—ahead to this by the international atomic agency, its head has been injapan this week, laying out the final report by the agency saying that this release of contaminated water into the sea is in line with international practices, so you went to japan festival to say that and now where i am at the moment, he has come here to try and allay people because my concerns about the release of this water because of course whenever you hear the words radioactive water than people like generally concerned and have been a number of street protests, there is one going on behind me and one of the concerns of people is that the contaminated water is going to get into food supplies, particularly fish and seafood, and so, they are simply not going to want to eat it, they don't really believe the scientists when
6:11 am
they say this is safe, and the south korean government here has given its backing to the japanese for the release of this water, but that has angered people as well because they are saying south korean people here, why are you supporting the japanese government but not the people, the people who will be affected from this contamination. raphael grassy is in here today, he is meeting with officials, he will not meet with protesters because they are on the streets to make their voices heard, they want japan to stop this release of water before it takes place. that's our asia pacific editor there. police in las vegas say britney spears accidentally hit herself in the face as she was blocked by security. the singer said she was �*backhanded in the face' as she was trying to approach basketballer victor wembanyama, calling the incident a "traumatic experience". police say the sports star's guard, who she alleged struck her, will not face charges.

brady was unable to spring another upset, losing to denis shapovalov. but for the british trio, a day without trial. it does mean that katie boult is now the last british player in the singles, the men's or women's committee is in action later today. the whole country rooting for katie later on. back here at headingley it is quite simple. england's cricketers need to find a way to take wickets and take them quickly on day three of their must—win ashes test against australia today. australia leading to—0 with two matches to play after this. the tourists will resume on 116—4 at headingley — that's a lead of 142, and had it not been for ben stokes, that lead could have been much, much bigger — he had an absolutely incredible performance yesterday, jawdropping what he was doing with the bat. asjoe wilson reports. there is something about ben stokes
6:29 am
at headingley, there is something about him anywhere. even limited in his mobility he makes things happen, with anglin hanging on in that ashes, five sixes and 80 runs this time. australia and their second innings wanted to bat with control. usman khawaja with the example. england's fielding wasn't perfect, marnus labuschagne tojonny bairstow. a minute later labuschagne hit the ball to harry brook waiting on the boundary. steve smith was equally mystified when he gave his wicket away for just two, tension in his farewell conversation. so how many do australia need before they can feel their lead is comfortable? and who is going to score them? not usman khawaja, held by bastow and gone for a3. but remember this matter, mitchell marsh walloped 100 matter, mitchell marsh walloped100 in the first innings, he will resume this morning in the second. australia 1a2 ahead, england have injuries, it is all in a line.
6:30 am
tonight, it's another huge match for england's women as they try to keep their ashes series alive. they face australia in their third and final twenty20 match at lord's before three one—day internationals — england must win them all. tonight also marks the 25th anniversary of the creation of the women's ashes, and nat sciver—brunt says it'll be a special occasion. it wasn't big enough to play at lord's, we are in the middle of an ashes series where the score is on the line, the winners on the line, there is hopefully another record crowd here tomorrow, everything i guess has been getting us to this point with our journey guess has been getting us to this point with ourjourney in cricket and i think women's sport in england as well, it feels like you're part of the wider world, and hopefully we can do everyone proud tomorrow. it could be a huge day
6:31 am
for england's under—21 footballers. they're in the final of the european championship later today, up against the five—time champions spain. england haven't won the tournament in almost a0 years, but they've won every match in this campaign and are yet to concede a goal. the new premier league season is just over a month away from starting, and chelsea's new manager mauricio pochettino has called on his squad to hit the ground running. pochettino takes over a side that finished 12th last season, and the argentine knows he's expected to bring success back to stamford bridge. i know in football, no patients, in football it's difficult to wait, and then when you are here in chelsea, it's not about asking for a time, you need to deliver from day one. we need to create belief in the beginning and we are going to have a squad of players that can deliver in the short and give what they expect.
6:32 am
at the tour de france, it was almost a record—breaking day for mark cavendish. with the finish line of the seventh stage in sight, the british rider made his move, attacking the front. and he looked on course for victory and a record 35th stage win, butjasper philipsen had other ideas as the belgian snatched his third stage win of this year's tour. defending championjonas vingegaard retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. there was a big win for reigning super league champions st helens. they came from behind against warrington wolves to beat them 2a—20 — lewis dodd scoring the crucial try. it means that saints move from fifth to third in the table, leapfrogging wolves in the process. in an hour's time, talking to max verstappen is the quickest and practised ahead of the british grand prix, and in one hour's time, i will tell you all about the f1 driver who

6:35 am
police were given the anti— riot weapons banned in most european countries, and they used them. on average the french police killed four times as many people as they did 12 years ago. the gendarmerie, as opposed to the ordinary police, a career soldiers and they are allowed to use armed force more easily than the police are. and there is a lot, there is political control my in france, as opposed to say in germany or britain. the police deny there is a culture of racism and brutality. it's too easy to accuse a french policeman to be racist. the united nations think _ policeman to be racist. the united nations think so. _ policeman to be racist. the united nations think so. the _ policeman to be racist. the united nations think so. the commission | policeman to be racist. the united l nations think so. the commission of the united nations, _ nations think so. the commission of the united nations, not— nations think so. the commission of the united nations, not the - nations think so. the commission of the united nations, not the ordinaryj the united nations, not the ordinary united nations. you can have a programme of ordinary policeman, you could have one french policeman who

6:38 am
has started, a month ago, and i asked frank gardiner, the bbc security correspondent how it was going. t security correspondent how it was anoin. .. security correspondent how it was anoin. ,. , ., going. i think there were some unrealistic _ going. i think there were some unrealistic expectations - going. i think there were some unrealistic expectations of i unrealistic expectations of ukrainians, because so much of when you get into the long is a western hardware and training, financial help, the last six months prior to when the offensive began injune, all the time of ukrainians were getting trained up in the west and building up these armoured brigades, the russians use that time to dig in and really create a effective, almost impregnable defensive lines. their not stupid, they thought the obvious place they will want to drive the main thrust will be the parisian, towards the sea of as of, to split the occupied area and two, so they put in tank tracks, ditches, concrete dragon steers, minefields, interlocking arcs of fire, or covered by artillery and that is
6:39 am
proving quite an obstacle to the ukrainian. is not completely impregnable but the progress they are making is very slow. hugely costly. and one of the big differences between the two armies is that the ukrainians care about their casualties. the russians seem to have a much more cavalier attitude. look at the people they just threw in to the withering fields of fire around bakhmut. now it looks as though they, they want to get bakhmut back, doesn't it? why? because we were always told it had no strategic advantage. and it does have no strategic advantage. bakhmut is an entirely symbolic struggle for both sides, so that when the russians finally took bakhmut, there were medal parades in moscow, there was a great sort of celebration of this victory. but it's a reversible victory. if they can undo that
6:40 am
russian victory and say, that's the only thing you achieved in 12 months of fighting, and we've we've unwound that and taken it back, that's pretty embarrassing for putin and the kremlin. so it's really a psychological battle. a number of senior british and american military writers used to talk about the expectation that when the ukrainians really punched through, the russians would collapse. that hasn't happened so far, has it? it hasn't happen, because they haven't been able to punch through. i mean, i think there is a morale problem in the russian lines. there's no question about it. a lot of them, a lot of the russian soldiers, don't want to be there. remember that, you know, this whole thing was supposed to be over in a matter of days. they're not particularly well fed or commanded or led. they're in a relatively good position, the russians, in that where they're dug in in these lines, they've got a lot of overhead cover, they've got artillery protection, they've got helicopters backing up behind that, they've in some cases
6:41 am
got air superiority. so then quite a strong position. but you're absolutely right, if the ukrainians were able to find a way through the minefields and drive a wedge through those lines, i think it's perfectly possible we could see mass desertions and fleeing. and there are all sorts of reports of russian units that are there behind the lines to shoot people who desert, because they think that that is a real problem, a real risk for them. if the mutiny, the failed prigozhin wagner mutiny had gone on for much longer, i think we would have seen an effect on morale in the russian lines. i mentioned russian was fighting russian at the gates of moscow. what effect would that have have on the people serving in ukraine? i think that would have quite possibly precipitated the end of the ukraine war, but that didn't happen. and so the war drags on. this programme is now going off the airfor the summer.
6:42 am
when we come back in the autumn, where will the war be? there are various improbables, like what's going to happen to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest nuclear power plant in europe, from where we're recording right now. in europe, from where we're recording right now, there's lots of worries and fears that russia has mined this, ready to set off a release of radiation right across europe. russia, of course, denies that. but if the war goes badly for russia and make no mistake, it's not going well for russia, but it's not going particularly well for ukraine either. if it goes badly for russia and ukraine starts to take large bits of territory and russia looks like being driven out altogether, i don't see president putin saying, you know what, i've made a terrible mistake. sorry, guys, let's forget all of this. we're going to pull out. it's not going to happen. he will double down and he'll do something dramatic and unpleasant to raise the stakes. everywhere, throughout what we like to call the western world, there's major support for ukraine as it defends itself
6:43 am
from russia's invasion. so we don't often hear news stories that are unfavorable to ukraine, so we don't often hear news stories that are unfavourable to ukraine, but it's ourjob as journalists to report fairly and honestly on every situation. and when our eastern europe correspondent, nick thorpe, started coming across evidence that young ukrainian men were escaping the country to avoid fighting in the war and maybe paying off ukrainian officials to help them, then he began investigating. he spoke to me from lake balaton in hungary. for the draft dodgers, of whom there are quite a few, people have ways of either paying, it's a relatively corrupt system. we heard stories unable to corroborate them, but of people paying money per month to avoid service. the border there between initially ukraine and hungary, but where we were, ukraine and romania, that's the river tisza, first of all, which is a relatively fast flowing river.
6:44 am
it's very cold, obviously, in winter with full of snowmelt. so it's pretty dangerous to swim across in certain places. and obviously the ukrainian border guard are trying to stop people leave. there's one figure from the ukrainian border guard that they're detaining 20 people a day trying to cross that or other borders or coming through the mountains. how many people are we talking about, do do you estimate? we turned to the ukrainian military to ask. they said that numbers are insignificant and that it is not impacting the war effort. from the romanian side, the romanian border guard told us that in the first 15 months of the war, 6,200 men crossed illegally either across the river or through the mountains, and were granted temporary protection in romania. and the people that you spoke to who were prepared to talk to you on camera, was there a common thread between their reasons for getting out? obviously, as in any sort of wartime situation, many people were afraid to serve, to go to the front.
6:45 am
a lot of people with no military experience at all. and ukraine, in its hour of need, pretty much requiring huge numbers of young men to go. another reason often given to us, probably the predominant reason was family. one of the deserters we spoke to, he had been fighting at the front near bakhmut, and he said the sheer horror of trench warfare and also the thought of his wife and two small children at home, and in the end, he quit. so many of his comrades had been killed. he was sort of torn between staying in the trenches and fighting for revenge, and fleeing in order to be with his wife and children in romania, which is what he did in the end. the third reason i think, is resentment. i think a lot of people, the recruiting process has been pretty crude — military patrols, military police on the edge of towns or in the centre of towns
6:46 am
at railway stations, even knocking on people's doors orworkplaces, pretty much rounding people up. also some sort of chaos in terms of conscription. we heard of reports in housing blocks, the police arriving at dawn to take away someone, to put them in the army and their mother telling them he's already been in the army for three months. and obviously people slipping through using the opportunity of that chaos to get out of it. though i suppose there's also another aspect here, especially where we were just across the border from western ukraine — this is an area of many, the only part of ukraine that used to be part of the austro—hungarian empire, where loyalty to ukraine or the idea of ukraine, even though that's improved as a result, as an inadvertent result of the war, it's sort of less than probably in other parts of ukraine. so you have a lot of people of ethnic romanian, ethnic, hungarian, ethnic polish backgrounds there. i don't want to be too
6:47 am
gung ho about this, but, you know, to desert your country in a time of war is quite a kind of shameful thing to do in many ways, isn't it? did anybody seem to you to feel ashamed of what they'd done? it was, it was a question obviously we put to everyone we spoke to. and i think there is a measure of, a huge measure of discomfort. there will be, i think, a sort of a reckoning or a lot of pretty tough arguments, fights even, in a post—war world, whatever the outcome of this war, of who did what, who made money out of it, who fled, who fought, who gave their lives and so on. so it's difficult — while the war, on the one hand, is clearly unifying ukraine, giving it a stronger identity than it had before, from speaking to all these people, one has a sense that it's it's going to be difficult for ukrainians in future to make peace with one another, because of all these difficult decisions people
6:48 am
made in the time of war. yevgeny prigozhin, the founder of the much feared wagner group, may have been exiled to belarus, but he's not a prisoner there. his privatejet has made several trips to russia over the past few days. but what about wagner itself? it's still operating in several countries in africa — especially the car, the central african republic, and in mali, where first the french army withdrew and now the united nations has voted to take out its force. but wagner, which is supporting the authoritarian regime in mali against militant islamic groups, is definitely staying. beverly 0chieng of bbc monitoring covers the activities of these groups and of wagner itself from nairobi. i asked her first why mali's interim president,
6:49 am
colonel assimi goita, wanted the un troops out. when thejunta came into power in 2020, there had been growing public disgruntlement at the fact that the un mission was not doing enough to stem militant violence. i remember during the year when there was covid, there were some reports of instances where residents in the central and northern regions would not allow un personnel into their communes because they felt that un presence was making no difference. violence had worsened over the years. un peacekeepers had been there for nearly a decade at that point. they'd been brought in to stabilise the country. they'd been brought in, more crucially, to implement this peace deal, or support the implementation of a peace deal between former rebels in the north and the malian government. this deal hasn't moved forward since 2015. the militancy has only worsened over the years. but it is going to have quite a serious effect on the situation, isn't it? well, yes, i mean, these are 13,000 troops and personnel leaving within a period of six months, and a vacuum is going to be left behind.
6:50 am
it's not enough, so if you think about the wagner mercenaries, who are 1,000 at the start of the deployment, that's not enough to fill in that void. the fact that nearly 3,000 french troops had onlyjust left the country and that gap hasn't been filled yet. the fact that mali also decided to withdraw from the g5 sahel force, which was the regional coalition of about 5,000 troops, means that it has become isolated. in this empty space which has now been left by the un and by france, we have, of course, the wagner group, prigozhin's group in africa. what effect is that going to have on the situation there? so at the moment — on the bright side, so to speak — there is some public support for wagner presence. so the goodwill exists for them to be able to operate. but in light of prigozhin's rebellion, there's a bit of a precarious situation. of course, russia has assured mali that it will continue to support it. but then prigozhin's men on the ground, it's not very clear if they're also willing to be under the kremlin
6:51 am
to continue supporting mali in the way that they have been. mali has been a sort of launching pad more for a diplomatic coup for the russian authorities. but without the wagner support, its going to be a very turbulent relationship. tell me what they're doing in the car, the central african republic. what activity are they involved in there? the russian security firm, the wagner group, they established sort of front companies. so they were carrying out those security operations in exchange for mineral reserves. so they got access to lucrative mines in rebel—held areas in the country. they were also carrying out influence campaigns. but also the wagner group has grown economically. so beyond the minerals, now they're in beef, the beef or the cattle—rearing business apparently in the congo basin. they're also illegally mining within the congo basin, but also deforestation, so the timber business. it sounds really as though they're they're completely autonomous,
6:52 am
that they don't have anybody looking after them and giving them orders — they give their own orders. yes, they do, and it got to a point where, for instance, with military operations both in mali and the car, it was difficult to figure out who the command was. there are some reports, for instance, based on witness accounts, where soldiers who want not to be named say that it's actually the wagner group leading some of those operations. there was one particular harrowing one, where a soldier said that they feel ashamed of some of the things that they've had to do. of course, the respective governments of mali and car have often denied this. in fact, in mali, for instance, they say that those kinds of reports are a way of reducing the morale of the army and they continue to stand by their cooperation with the russian government and with the wagner group. what's happened to isis in all of this? has its influence grown, or is it less? islamic state is still very active, particularly in mali, and using that to launch attacks into countries like niger and burkina faso.
6:53 am
in fact, over the past year since the militaryjunta that's now in charge took power, attacks by or linked to islamic state have worsened in the northern and some of the eastern regions. and in many ways, we've been seeing that africa is sort of becoming an epicentre for islamic state violence. interestingly enough, what i would say is jihadist groups had been calling for international forces to leave the country so that they can have dialogue with the government. it'll be interesting to see if the malian junta will want to pick this up as an alternative to possible chaos in the future. you can argue whether colonialism was basically beneficial or whether it did great damage. it's a discussion which has probably only just started. but in the case of european museums, where collections of the loot of empire are on show, the shift in opinion about the value and effects of colonialism is having a particular effect.
6:54 am
what's the outcome likely to be? katie razzall is the bbc�*s culture editor. this is about items. they're called contested items, if you like, items often that were taken in what some people now perceive to be dubious circumstances, whether that's, you know, usually in colonial times, usually potentially in a punitive raid they were called, where, you know, the british army, for example, would go into somewhere in modern—day ghana, or what is modern—day ghana, nigeria or ethiopia, and take these items — "loot" people would say, use that term. often they came back, they were sold, and often the costs of these items, the money that was made helped fund the raids in the first place. so it was sort of very much part of the kind of apparatus of the state, if you like, doing this. and we now obviously look at that in slightly different terms, many people do. so, yes, there have been all sorts of claims from around the world, most high—profile would be
6:55 am
in modern—day nigeria. so these are the so—called benin bronzes, these absolutely beautiful bronze and brass sculptures that were so key to benin city, and this area of what is now modern—day nigeria. and there are increasing demands for the return of these items. so the question is, what do museums do about it? is it likely that in 100 years, there won't be any of these items in museums? i mean, i would say no, just because i think there are deals to be done that don't mean the full return, but mean you can perhaps, you know, share ownership. i love nigeria, it's one of my favourite countries. but, you know, not very many other people from the outside world necessarily go there. is it a good idea to take your most beautiful creations out of museums where millions can see them and take them back home
6:56 am
where nobody can see them? well, i suppose it depends who you are. so for the nigerians, for the nigerian state, they've got a restitution committee that they've set up that is in conversation, making demands, asking for the return of these items. they're building a museum in which to house these items. and these are beautiful sculptures that have huge cultural significance. but clearly, somebody like george osborne, who people might have heard of, he was the chancellor of the exchequer here in the uk under the previous conservative government, but actually now one of his jobs is chair of the trustees at the british museum, and what you're saying is ostensibly his point, which is, "we are a museum for the world, "we're hugely visited by people around the world, "and therefore, sharing it in creative ways and finding ways "of doing deals." would one of those deals be handing back the elgin marbles? well, that's the key question, isn't it?
6:57 am
so elgin marbles, often called now the parthenon sculptures, that's the one that here in the uk certainly and in greece is the most high—profile in this area of debate, which is what to do with those. and george osborne has previously said there's a deal to be done. very recently, the mayor of london said he hoped that they could do a deal and that they should share, greece and britain share ownership of it. i think from britain's perspective, perhaps loans might be a way forward — but the issue is that, from greece's perspective, if you believe these items, these beautiful friezes, these marble friezes belong to your country, are you going to accept saying, "well, yes, you can loan it to us"? "well, hold on, it belongs to us in the first place." in britain, we have quite strict laws, particularly when it comes to the british museum and some other national institutions, that prevent them from handing ownership over. can't the law be changed? well, the government's already said they're not going to change the law. but, i mean, this is about nationalism, isn't it?
6:58 am
in a lot of people's cases, i mean, "it's about our own nation and this is ours and we want it back." whereas other other countries say, "it's our patrimony and it should be shown around the world." as these countries try to become the countries they really want to be in the 21st century, part of that for them is very much about getting some of these items back, a sense that, you know, countries are atoning perhaps for the sins of the past. and i agree that lots of people don't buy into that, and lots of people say, "well, look, this is the past, "you know, get over it and let's move on." but i guess it depends what perspective you come from. is there anything that britain wants back from anywhere, do you know? laughs. good question! i actually really don't know. we don't need anything back, because we just got everyone else's stuff. that probably is the answer! we want the ashes, we want the ashes back, but that's slightly different! we're not going to get them back! no, definitely not. katie razzall, culture
6:59 am
editor, on the likely loss of that great cricketing artefact which is the ashes. but whatever happens to them, unspun world will be back in a few months' time. we'll take a summer break now and be back in the autumn. enjoy yourself while we're away, and i hope to see you when we get back. goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: the 8—year—old who was killed in a school car crash in wimbledon is named as selena lau. herfamily described her as an "intelligent and cheeky girl adored by everyone". the us agrees to supply ukraine

christchurch, less than a mile from the school, has bereavement experts on hand to help. we have had adults and children coming in and i think they are all very much in shock still at the moment. grief is always a mixture of emotion, a lot of pain and sadness, some anger. the car has been taken away to be examined. its driver, a a6—year—old woman arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released on bail. the number of flowers outside the school continues to grow. many of the messages are from selena lau's schoolmates. as a police investigation continues, families, school and a community are trying to come to terms with how a tea party on the last day of summer term turned into a tragedy. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. louisa pilbeam is live for us now in wimbledon. i know you are close to where many
7:03 am
of those tributes are being laid. yes charlie, good morning, iam right here, right outside the school where around 200 bouquets of flowers have been left and soft toys and cars, some of them from children, clearly written by children saying they are devastated and their hearts are broken, and there have been people this morning who have come by, one woman drove past her saying she just had to come down here, by, one woman drove past her saying shejust had to come down here, she said she used to work in the school here, and she was very tearful. there have been people who were just drugging past because this is a community where people come down in this area by wimbledon common and cycle and jog and one woman was very visually upset, coming down here, but people have been leaving tributes down here and this is right where the crash happened, you can see the school and the railings there, it happened on the grass area, a tea party happening. police
7:04 am
have said they don't want the public to speculate, and people down here, that has of course been on their minds. detective chief superintendent claire callan said i understand many people want answers about how this happened, and there is a team of detectives working to establish the circumstances, so police making it clear that their investigations continue. the us has announced it will send ukraine a package of cluster bombs for its counter—offensive against russia. the weapons are banned by more than 100 countries because they can kill indiscriminately over a wide area. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera has this report. ukraine's counteroffensive has been under way for a month with heavy fighting in places like bakhmut. but progress has been slower than hoped. ukraine is short of ammunition and
7:05 am
facing entrenched russian defensive positions. that's why the pressure has been growing for its western allies to provide more weapons, including cluster munitions, and washington gave the green light. russia has been using cluster munitions since the start of this war to attack ukraine. in this environment, ukraine has been requesting cluster munitions in order to defend its own sovereign territory. these are the type of cluster munitions the us will supply. they scatter tiny bomblets, but they are highly controversial. the munitions scatter indiscriminately over a wide area. some so—called duds do not explode, leaving a threat to civilians often for years into the future. we condemn it in the strongest sense. the transfer of cluster munitions is contrary to international law and will lead to civilian harm. there is already evidence that russia has been using cluster
7:06 am
bombs inside ukraine, like here in kharkiv. more than 120 countries have signed a convention banning their use, but the us, ukraine and russia have not signed up to the ban. here in ukraine defence officials say cluster munitions could make a significant difference on the battlefield, helping them break through russian defences. kyiv argues that russia has been using the weapons in ukraine, so ukraine should have the right to use them on its own territory for its own self defence. but providing these cluster munitions has been divisive, both within washington and among allies who have been providing weapons to ukraine. nato secretary general today had to tread carefully. is there not a risk that we could see cracks in it nato's unity? when it comes to cluster ammunition there is a difference between allies, because some allies have— signed the convention
7:07 am
on cluster munitions and they don't have cluster missions so of course there is no cluster missions to provide to ukraine _ all through the war must weapons have been vital for ukraine but there is sometimes frustration that they have not come as quickly as kyiv once. cluster bombs have now been promised, but their arrival could prove controversial. gordon correra, bbc news, kyiv. a bbc presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, according to the sun newspaper. it is understood that the bbc is looking into the allegations. 0ur media editor, katie razall has more. these accusations concern serious misconduct by a presenter by a presenter newspaper claims is known to millions. the main, who has not been named, paid a teenager tens of thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images.
7:08 am
we understand that the bbc is looking into the allegations which are clearly very serious and the sun claims that the well—known presenter paid actually more than £35,000 in returns for those sexually explicit images. the individual�*s family, it's reported, complained to the bbc on may 19th this year that leads to questions as to what step the corporation talk after the complaints were made. the bbc in a statement said it treats any allegations very seriously and takes steps to investigate including actively trying to speak to those who have contacted them. it's as if it gets no reply that can limit the ability to progress things but it does not stop the enquiries, and that it acts on any new information that it acts on any new information that comes to light including from newspapers. we understand the presenter is not scheduled to appear on air in the coming days. murals of mickey mouse and other cartoon characters inside an asylum centre for children in dover have been painted over after an order from the immigration minister.

7:10 am
here i am has endorsed the plan, it agrees with the scientist, its own scientists have been focusing with the check out the plan and they have come to the same conclusion, but people across east asia, particularly here in south korea are not as convinced when it comes to anything to do with nuclear radioactive water, they are slightly wary, slightly cautious, and an opinion poll here in south korea suggest that four out of five people rarely oppose the release of water and at the moment, outside the japanese embassy, and i don't know if you can see behind me, there is an opposition politician surrounded by yellow signs, yellow banner, she has been on hunger strikes for 13 days because she says she wants to hand to stop the release of this water. this gives you an idea of the strength of feeling here in south korea and across the region against the release of water from fukushima. thanks very much for explaining.

facial recognition software will be used for the first time at the british grand prix this weekend. it's in response to activists invading the race track last year. silverstone bosses have warned there is a high risk of death or serious injury if it happens again. john ironmonger reports. this risky stunt is what silverstone is desperate to avoid. remember it? last year, having scaled the barriers, five climate activists from just stop 0il sat down on the track and linked hands shortly after the start of the british grand prix. within seconds the circuit marshall started dragging the protesters to safety. it was exasperating for the police who had publicly warned of the dangers of a track invasion just days prior to the raid. this is a climate emergency! six climate activists were arrested for causing a public nuisance and spent months in prison awaiting trial before finally being released. 0rganisers are urging
7:12 am
them not to do it again. there is a very high likelihood of serious injury or death if you go and sit in front of a racing car that can do up to 200 mph. it is a ridiculously reckless thing to put your own life and the drivers and spectators and marshals' lives at risk. race—goers on friday at silverstone could not agree more. it's dangerous for stewards and staff, there is a time in a place for it, not here. we went to the snooker this year and they did it at the snooker, and they are infiltrating areas that they don't need to infiltrate, and oil has nothing to do with snooker and they are just being a pain. they have got it right, net zero x 2030. pulling out the stops this year, police say in addition to disruption officers, search teams and ampa units, they will be using live facial recognition cameras at the circuit
7:13 am
the controversial technology works by reading faces in a crowd and comparing them against a watchlist repaired by the police of potential terrorists or serious criminals, and of course unlawful protesters. it all sounds impressive, but in recent weeks, just stop 0il activists have repeatedly shown they are capable of outmanoeuvring security measures at major sporting fixtures, including wimbledon. they also interrupted play at the second ashes test at lords with one carried off by wicket—keeperjonny bairstow. for the silverstone commander, a repeat performance seems almost inevitable. we only have to look back at what has happened over the course of the last few months, with all these significant sporting events being targeted, so we need a touch of realism, this is a huge site and a massive length of track and a perimeter fence to try and protect. a spokesperson forjust stop 0il said the climate crisis would lead to crop failure and the mass displacement of millions of people.

they would not reveal what plans, if any, they had for silverstone. think back a while now, you might remember this. the mechanical bull ozzy, who became an unlikely star attraction at last summer's commonwealth games, is being re—built at birmingham's new street station. remember when mike was there for the naming of this massive sculpture. it has been moved to its new home and should be fully built by the end of this month, 28th ofjuly. the bull was named ozzy after the birmingham rock star ozzy osbourne, following a public vote. remember mike, there was a frame next to it, it was a very meticulous operation, there was a frame that every piece had to fit through this frame because that's the size of the door it needs to go through. he has to be completely dismantled. he has been. has been _

7:16 am
could be somehow, frequent lightning, the risk of localised flash flooding as well. so what is going on? we this big low pressure setting out to the west, this cold front here is moving its way in. that's the trigger for these heavy and hungry showers as we go through today. ahead of that weather front, one or two showers dotted around this morning, very localised at the moment but more persistent rain spreads into the south—west of england through this morning and this will all move northwards and eastwards, and you can see by the brighter colours here, the intensity of those showers. we could see the heavy thundery shower around the north—west of scotland, hot and humid in the far north, 26— 28 celsius. showers in southeast scotland, north—eastern england, northern areas of england, a scattering of showers into the afternoon, northeast wales also getting heavy downpours, look at the bright colours there. there will be some sunshine in between those showers, particularly the later on and towards the south—west. at
7:17 am
wimbledon today, some disruption likely through this morning into the early part of the afternoon, it will get better later on, with some dry weather and sunshine at headingley, likely to see disruption for most of the day with the showers moving in and torrential downpours. into sunday, this area of low pressure is still with us and there is a weather front, the cold front continuing to move its way eastward but it will hang back a little on sunday morning down to the southeast of england. here again some heavy downpours first thing, it will move away to the east and then we're left with sunny spells but at these showers dotted around, so the risk of some thunderstorms for the sunday afternoon. temperatures down a little bit, 21— afternoon. temperatures down a little bit, 21- 23 afternoon. temperatures down a little bit, 21— 23 celsius, we lose the intense heat and humidity that we will have to lay across eastern areas. but into next week, there is not really the thing you want to see in summer. this area of low northward, that will bring unsettled conditions through most of the week.

a unique weekend in the british sporting summer, but here at headingley there has been a dramatic change in the last hour, we knew the storm clouds were coming and they have gathered and made the skies above headingley rather gloomy now, because rain is coming, and down there on that wickets they are replacing some of the footmarks made by the bowlers, at the moment the covers are just harbouring on but the main hope here today is that england can get a spell of bowling and before the weather turns in the rain stops play potentially and get some australian wickets, that is absolutely crucial now to keep the ashes series alive because australia will resume on 116—4, so a lead of 142 already and you feel if the aussies got past 300, 350, the series would pretty much he aussies got past 300, 350, the series would pretty much be gone and the ashes would or must already be on the runway back to australia. could have been a big lead if not for ben stokes yesterday, making 80
7:33 am
here with incredible swashbuckling shots, captain marvel ben stokes saving the day and getting england close to australia's first innings score. let's get the thoughts of the first female president of the yorkshire cricket club. also an esteemed player, captain and coach of england and yorkshire here for many years, what did you make of yesterday because ben stokes saved the day and kept england in the match? he the day and kept england in the match? . ., , match? he did and it was turned around by _ match? he did and it was turned around by woody, _ match? he did and it was turned around by woody, he _ match? he did and it was turned around by woody, he came - match? he did and it was turned around by woody, he came in i match? he did and it was turned l around by woody, he came in and match? he did and it was turned - around by woody, he came in and hit around by woody, he came in and hit a few sixes to start with and then ben took that on, so thank goodness we finished just 20 runs also say of the australian score and then moen ali came in and got some wickets as well. so if we could get travis head, we should be in with a good chance. it head, we should be in with a good chance. . . . . head, we should be in with a good chance. , , . ., , ., ., chance. it is such a pivotal session. — chance. it is such a pivotal session. it _ chance. it is such a pivotal session, it all _ chance. it is such a pivotal session, it all depends - chance. it is such a pivotal session, it all depends on| chance. it is such a pivotal- session, it all depends on what happens. session, it all depends on what ha ens. �* . session, it all depends on what

a day without triumphant. it's the british grand prix at silverstone this weekend and regardless of who's winning the race on pole, it's more likely than not that a certain german driver will be leading the way at some point during the race. for the 24th season bernd maylander has been the driver of the safety car which is called into action when there's an incident or debris on the track and the race has to be slowed down. but as i found out when i went to meet bernt, at silverstone there's nothing slow about him or his safety cars. heazlett more labs in formula! heazlett more labs in formula 1 than most world champions, but never won a race, not got to the chequered flag first, despite being in the sport for 24 years. it's because of all that time, bernt mae land has been the driver of the safety car.

are calling them... i'm actually asking you — what would you call a 17 year old person with a rifle shooting at your family and murdering your own family? that exchange elicited a furious reaction from viewers such as mark benson. the bbc put out a statement in response to complaints like that, saying: the process by which the former senior civil servant sue gray accepted a job with the labour party as keir starmer�*s chief of staff has
7:51 am
been at the heart of a long running political row. last week parliament's advisory body on appointments cleared her to take up the post in september. but on monday, a government minister said that his department had come to a different conclusion, at least prima facie, or on the face of it. a cabinet office inquiry has found that the official who led the investigation into lockdown parties at downing street broke the civil service code as a result of undeclared contact with the labour party. sue gray has been cleared to work for labour by parliament's advisory appointments body. labour said the cabinet office's findings were a political stunt by the conservatives. the story on its news website, the bbc initially headlined the story like this:
7:52 am
martin tibbetts thought: and dave brown agreed. the headline was later changed to read: and bbc news told us: that wasn't the only headline on the news website to come under scrutiny this week. an article posted by laura kuenssberg on sunday was headed: "love it or hate it, the nhs is here to stay" and that wording incurred the wrath of richard kent.
7:53 am
someone tweeting as "the fluffy mouse" added: and mary kennan begged: in this case, the headline wasn't changed. and when we asked them about it, bbc news told us: well, we hoped to talk to someone from the bbc news website about its headlines in general and those two examples in particular — but unfortunately, no—one was available. on wednesday, the king was presented
7:54 am
with scotland's crown jewels in edinburgh. in a ceremony to mark his coronation. scotland editorjames cook reported on the day's events. for charles and camilla, the journey is onlyjust beginning. for 500 years, monarchs have paraded up the royal mile. in 1953, queen elizabeth toured edinburgh in an open carriage. but her son inherits a kingdom divided — as he could surely hear on arriving at st giles cathedral. crowd chanting. sara nixon thought there was too much emphasis placed on those protests. she wrote:
7:55 am
max white had a very different perspective on the day of pageantry. it's that time of year when sporting events sometimes disrupt the scheduling of news programmes and frequently feature on television bulletins. one example this week was thursday's news at six, which included reports and correspondents on the spot from both england's men's cricket match with australia and also from wimbledon. ken cook responded to what he saw, and to our call last week for your views on the rightful role of sport and entertainment on the news.
7:56 am
and stephen fyfe sent us his rule of thumb. the annual pride parade in central london last weekend attracted more than 30,000 participants, and it coincided with the revival of a debate that started three years ago over bbc staff attending such events. an article in an online newspaper marketed to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community claimed the bbc had re—issued guidance advising news staff not to attend "overt" pride protests in a bid to maintain impartiality. and that prompted this criticism from martha.
7:57 am
7:58 am
one recent development on the bbc news channel is the use of a camera positioned in the newsroom from where reporters or guests can speak to the studio presenter. hearing what they have to say, though, isn't always easy. here's health correspondent nick tribble on the channel last week. well, this brings to an end the long running dispute between the royal college of nursing and the government over pay in england, at least. noise in background. under trade union laws for a strike to strike mandate to be carried, it requires turnout to exceed 50%. chris gregory was distracted by the off camera noise of the newsroom.
7:59 am
there was another example the following day when security correspondent frank gardner appeared on the news channel from the same spot. talking over background noise: nobody is going to seriously sit down and make peace. the war goes on. the counter—offensive continues. the bulk of it is yet to come, but they're going to have a realjob trying to break through russian defences. that hasn't changed. frank gardner there in the newsroom, thanks very much. frank gardnerthere in the newsroom, thanks very much. before we move on, let me just bring you an update on that story from the ashes... this was the response from h] hill.
8:00 am
thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email: or you can find us on twitter. you can call us. and do have a look at our website for interviews. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... the eight—year—old who was killed in a school car crash in wimbledon is named as selena lau. herfamily described her as an "intelligent and cheeky
8:01 am
girl adored by everyone". the us agrees to supply ukraine with controversial cluster bombs to help their counter offensive against russia. is this the future for the nhs? we'll hear how virtual reality could help reduce waiting lists and deliver care to patients. good morning from damp headingley, where england need quick wickets to stop australia retaining the ashes. while it was a woeful day at wimbledon for all the british men in the singles — for andy murray, it could be his final farewell. yesterday we had the heat, temperatures got to 30 celsius but with the heat and humidity today comes the showers, heavy and sundry in places. i will bring you the details in the programme. it's saturday 8th july.
8:02 am
our main story... tributes are being paid to the eight—year—old girl who died when a car crashed into her school in wimbledon on thursday. she's been named as selena lau — her family says she was "adored and loved by everyone". another eight—year old girl and a woman in her 40s are still in a critical condition. a woman, who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, has been released on bail. louisa pilbeam reports. "an intelligent and cheeky girl, adored and loved by everyone." selena lau's family have paid tribute to the eight—year—old. she was killed when a land rover crashed through a fence at the study preparatory school in wimbledon, where an end of term tea party had been taking place. 12 people were taken to hospital, among them another eight—year—old girl who remains in a life—threatening condition. a woman in her 40s is in a critical condition. large numbers of people have been coming to the school to lay flowers and reflect.
8:03 am
christchurch, less than a mile from the school, has bereavement experts on hand to help. we have had adults and children coming in and i think they are all very much in shock still at the moment. grief is always a mixture of emotions — a lot of pain and sadness, some anger. the car has been taken away to be examined. its driver, a 46—year—old woman who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released on bail. the number of flowers outside the school continues to grow. many of the messages are from selena's schoolmates. as the police investigation continues, families, a school and a community are trying to come to terms with how a tea party on the last day of summer term turned into a tragedy. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. louisa pilbeam is live
8:04 am
for us now in wimbledon. you are close and we can see behind you many of the tributes. yes. you many of the tributes. yes, charlie, people _ you many of the tributes. yes, charlie, people have _ you many of the tributes. yes, charlie, people have been - you many of the tributes. i'eis charlie, people have been coming down here in large numbers and there are around 200 bouquets of flowers left here with cards, candles and messages. some of those messages are clearly written by children saying, i miss you selena. one message said we are devastated and our hearts are broken. people have come down deliberately today, theyjust deliberately today, they just stood, some have gone by and read the messages. there have also been people who have been jogging and messages. there have also been people who have beenjogging and had a look and taking a moment of reflection because this area is right beside wimbledon common and is a popular area with activities. i think there will be people who come
8:05 am
down here today in large numbers as well, it is a saturday and the end of term. there has been speculation, police have asked people not to speculate about what caused the crash. the chief investigating officer has said she understands why people want answers about how this happened. there is a team of detectives working to establish the circumstances. the police making it clear that investigations do continue. clear that investigations do continue-— clear that investigations do continue. . ~ , . focus this morning on new weaponry being sent to ukraine. the us has announced it will send ukraine a package of cluster bombs for its counter—offensive against russia. the weapons are banned by more than 100 countries — because they can explode indiscriminately over a wide area. our security correspondent gordon corera is in kyiv for us.
8:06 am
gordon, what has been the reaction to this decision? there is some controversy. that is correct, they are controversial, more than 100 countries have banned holding or using them but the ukrainians say they are important to their fate. ukrainians say they are important to theirfate. ukraine, the us and russia have not signed the con —— conventions prohibiting their use. they can be defined as artillery rockets and dropped small bomblets which can be useful militarily. ukraine said it can be used against russian defensive positions on the counter offensive. but co ntroversially, counter offensive. but controversially, they say the bomblets cannot not explode and lie them for years and then get picked up them for years and then get picked up and can kill people. but here in the ukraine, this decision by the us
8:07 am
is welcome and has come after a lot of pressure from ukraine because they are short of artillery and ammunition. their view as russia has been using these weapons against civilians and ukraine so they want use to them in a controlled manner for their own defence against a country which has occupied them and attack them so they have provided written assurances to the united states about how they will be used and where there will be used and the attempt to clear up their use afterwards so certainly there will be some controversy, some allies have different views to the us about this but here in uk, the cluster munitions are certainly being welcomed. munitions are certainly being welcomed-— munitions are certainly being welcomed. ., . . . munitions are certainly being welcomed. ., . .. , welcomed. gordon caray rafah as they are in kiev.
8:08 am
the last of american chemical weapons has been destroyed, it has been announced by president biden. they had to be destroyed in accordance with a 30 year old international treaty, which bans them and requires their destruction. a bbc presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, according to the sun newspaper. it is understood that the bbc is looking into the allegations. our media editor, katie razall has more. now, the newspaper says that the presenter, who has not been named, paid the teenager tens of thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images. we understand that the bbc is looking into the allegations which are clearly very serious and the sun claims that the well—known presenter paid actually more than £35,000 in returns for those sexually explicit images. the individual�*s family, it's reported, complained to the bbc on may 19th this year
8:09 am
the bbc said it treats any allegations seriously and take steps to investigating including trying to speak to those who contacted them. if it gets no reply and it limits the ability to progress things but it does not stop the inquiry and acts on any new information comes too late including from newspapers. we understand the presenter is not scheduled to appear on here in the coming days. murals of mickey mouse and other cartoon characters inside an asylum centre for children in dover have been painted over after an orderfrom the immigration minister. robertjenrick made the call reportedly because he believed they sent too welcoming a message. the home office confirmed the paintings — also depicting tom and jerry and baloo from thejungle book — were covered on tuesday. china says it will uphold a ban it has in place on some japanese food imports, in response to tokyo deciding to release treated radioactive water from the wrecked fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. japan insists the water will first
8:10 am
be filtered to remove most radioactive elements and the release will be safe. a five—day strike byjunior doctors in england begins on wednesday — its after the national education union warned that teacher strikes could intensify in the autumn term in a row over pay. let's go to our political correspondent leila nathoo ? leila is this putting more pressure on the prime minister? good morning. clearly it is a huge issue for rishi sunak that strikes are still continuing across the public sector so we have that five—day strike byjunior doctors five—day strike by junior doctors beginning five—day strike byjunior doctors beginning next week in england in a row over a 5% offer that they have received for this year. junior doctors in scotland have suspended their strike because they were offered a 12% increase by the scottish government. the prime
8:11 am
minister however has been clear he will not do anything that will fuel inflation. he thinks higher public sector wage increases will do that. some people disagree with that analysis but he is insistent that high inflation is a major problem. of course they are campaigning for bigger wage increases because inflation is running so high so there is an impasse. next year, what will happen, the government has started receiving news from independent pay review bodies and there are clearly conversations going on in government about whether to accept the recommendations are not because they might be too high. we do not have a figure but it looks like there are differences within cabinet and ministers about whether to accept these recommendations for next year salaries. the longer the strikes go on the course of the
8:12 am
government gets to a general election, they do not want to go into that with a backdrop of public strikes so there is clearly a long way to go regarding the strikes across the public sector and no resolution in sight.— across the public sector and no resolution in sight. thank you for that. facial recognition software will be used for the first time at the british grand prix this weekend. it's in response to activists invading the race track last year. silverstone bosses have warned there is a high risk of death or serious injury if it happens again. john ironmonger reports. this risky stunt is what silverstone is desperate to avoid. remember it? last year, having scaled the barriers, five climate activists from just stop oil sat down on the track and linked hands shortly after the start of the british grand prix. within seconds the circuit marshall started dragging the protesters to safety. it was exasperating for the police who had publicly warned of the dangers of a track invasion just days prior to the raid.
8:13 am
this is a climate emergency! six climate activists were arrested for causing a public nuisance and spent months in prison awaiting trial before finally being released. organisers are urging them not to do it again. there is a very high likelihood of serious injury or death if you go and sit in front of a racing car that can do up to 200 mph. it is a ridiculously reckless thing to put your own life and the drivers and spectators and marshals' lives at risk. race—goers on friday at silverstone could not agree more. it's dangerous for stewards and staff, there is a time in a place for it, not here. we went to the snooker this year and they did it at the snooker, and they are infiltrating areas that they don't need to infiltrate, and oil has nothing to do with snooker and they are just being a pain.
8:14 am
fi have got it right, net zero by 2030. good sport. pulling out the stops this year, police say in addition to disruption officers, search teams and ampa units, they will be using live facial recognition cameras at the circuit for the first time. the controversial technology works by reading faces in a crowd and comparing them against a watchlist repaired by the police of potential terrorists or serious criminals, and of course unlawful protesters. it all sounds impressive, but in recent weeks, just stop oil activists have repeatedly shown they are capable of outmanoeuvring security measures at major sporting fixtures, including wimbledon. they also interrupted play at the second ashes test at lords with one carried off by wicket—keeperjonny bairstow. for the silverstone commander, a repeat performance seems almost inevitable. we only have to look back at what has happened over the course of the last few months, with all these significant sporting events being targeted, so we need a touch of realism, this is a huge site and a massive length of track and a perimeter
8:15 am
fence to try and protect. a spokesperson forjust stop oil said the climate crisis would lead to crop failure and the mass displacement of millions of people. they would not reveal what plans, if any, they had for silverstone. in let us just have a look at the weather. these pictures are from spain, heavy rain and storms and they have had a heat wave with extreme temperatures. these pictures from the north of the country show icy water running through the streets, muddy water flooding icy water running through the streets, muddy waterflooding roads following torrential downpours. meanwhile the southeast saw heavy rain and wind. nothing quite as dramatic here in the uk but there
8:16 am

8:17 am
a tropical night. let us either temperatures, 21 degrees and walk in. as i start this morning. sorry showers will develop into this afternoon. torrential in places, hail and thunder and wind as well. we have an area of low pressure to the west of the uk. this weather front will move in, more humid air ahead of that. a few showers ahead of the main cold front. rain gathering in south east england, south wales, pushing north—east. a few heavy showers ahead of that, like in headingley, look at the bright colours on the map, indicative of those heavy thundery showers. the odd thunderstorm in the north—west of scotland. northern scotland quite warm and humid. the risk of thunderstorms in the south—east of scotland and
8:18 am
north—east england and of course northern england. this is up for a this afternoon. look at the colours here, downpours. not all of us will see those really heavy showers, some sunshine and between into this afternoon. for wimbledon, showers in the morning, improving as a day goes on, showers moving to the north—east, temperatures 24th celsius. not quite so good at headingley, the risk of thunderstorms and showers brewing so likely to be disruption for play. on to sunday, there is cold fronts, holding onto eastern areas which means tomorrow morning, again heavy and thundery downpours for east anglia and the south—east. that will clear away and we are left with sunny spells and scattered showers, just some of these showers will be quite intense. temperatures lower tomorrow, we lose the humidity so
8:19 am
21-23 c. into tomorrow, we lose the humidity so 21—23 c. into next week, low pressure will be dominance, moving north and east. when you have low pressure you have unsettled weather. a bit breezy at times, the wind from the north—west, it will feel fresher next week, temperature 17—22 c and always the risk of showers and longer spells of rain, maybe even a thunderstorm as well into next week. a bit of a change, not what you want to see in summer. aha, a bit of a change, not what you want to see in summer.— to see in summer. a very clever chance to see in summer. a very clever change with _ to see in summer. a very clever change with your _ to see in summer. a very clever change with your pictures, - to see in summer. a very clever change with your pictures, i - to see in summer. a very clever change with your pictures, i did | change with your pictures, i did notice, thank you very much. thank ou. as the nhs continues its 75th anniversary celebrations, it has been trialling innovative ways to improve the way care is delivered — by using artificial intelligence. in the south east, pioneering work has been underway across hospitals using virtual reality headsets to help patients and clinicians with communication, diagnosis and treatment, as clare woodling found out.
8:20 am
multiple school or is is patients like wendy are seeing their health care transformed by technology pioneered in devon. this augmented reality headset at home allows her to have a remote consultation with her specialist at the hospital. it is incredible i think because you know there are problems going on in your spine but to actually look inside your spine i feel quite incredible. people with ms tend to try and keep away from others who might have germs or anything, especially recently. so not to have to be inside a busy hospital is much better. . , , ., _ . better. the device is brought by a nurse ou better. the device is brought by a nurse you can _ better. the device is brought by a nurse you can also _ better. the device is brought by a nurse you can also wear - better. the device is brought by a nurse you can also wear it - better. the device is brought by a nurse you can also wear it so - better. the device is brought by a nurse you can also wear it so the| nurse you can also wear it so the consultant doctor can see the patient and their movement. it is cost-effective, _ patient and their movement. it is cost-effective, time _ patient and their movement. it is cost—effective, time efficient and

can be faster and pathways smoother. backin can be faster and pathways smoother. back in devon there are hopes this technology will make nhs services more sustainable. it will take getting a bit of getting used to. it is very strange at the beginning. you get — is very strange at the beginning. you get more _ is very strange at the beginning. you get more used _ is very strange at the beginning. you get more used as— is very strange at the beginning. you get more used as you - is very strange at the beginning. you get more used as you start| is very strange at the beginning. i you get more used as you start to use it — you get more used as you start to use it but _ you get more used as you start to use it but i _ you get more used as you start to use it but i think— you get more used as you start to use it but i think where _ you get more used as you start to use it but i think where we - you get more used as you start to use it but i think where we are - use it but i think where we are heading — use it but i think where we are heading in _ use it but i think where we are heading in the _ use it but i think where we are heading in the nhs, _ use it but i think where we are heading in the nhs, so- use it but i think where we are heading in the nhs, so that. use it but i think where we arel heading in the nhs, so that we use it but i think where we are - heading in the nhs, so that we can share _ heading in the nhs, so that we can share resources— heading in the nhs, so that we can share resources around _ heading in the nhs, so that we can share resources around the - heading in the nhs, so that we canl share resources around the country, we will— share resources around the country, we will he _ share resources around the country, we will be pioneering _ share resources around the country, we will be pioneering it _ share resources around the country, we will be pioneering it down - share resources around the country, we will be pioneering it down in - we will be pioneering it down in torhay — that was clare woodling reporting. we're joined now by dr raj jena, an oncologist who's been using al to help his patients. thank you very much forjoining us. so when you see someone with an ai set on their head, some of it was explained, some of the scans especially in an ambulance, but when someone has their headset on and physically touching the patient, how does it work, what is better? yes.
8:23 am
physically touching the patient, how does it work, what is better?- does it work, what is better? yes, i think it is fascinating _ does it work, what is better? yes, i think it is fascinating looking - does it work, what is better? yes, i think it is fascinating looking at - think it is fascinating looking at how we can bring these technologies into our normal practice. we are very used to using scans and imaging pictures, it is the bread—and—butter of what we do in medicine, we would be blind without it. it is a huge difference to looking at a scan on screen where you look at a flat image and you're the only person interacting with it to moving it into a headset. first, you can look at it in three dimensional because thatis at it in three dimensional because that is how we need to think about our patients. and also, it is important that in particular with these augmented reality systems, you can share these images with your view of the patient and what is happening around them sol view of the patient and what is happening around them so i think this is a transformative technology. finally, for people like myself, if you put on a headset for 3d,
8:24 am
finally, for people like myself, if you put on a headset for 30, it is disorientating but these new systems which allow you to put these images into your view so you can still see around you, ifind much easier to work with actually. can around you, i find much easier to work with actually.— around you, i find much easier to work with actually. can i ask about the relationship _ work with actually. can i ask about the relationship between - work with actually. can i ask about the relationship between a - work with actually. can i ask about the relationship between a doctor, surgeon and patient. we no eye contact is so important, so if you are seeing something through the headset and you see something troubling, how do you deal with that because you have patients already who are nervous going on for investigation or are suddenly ill who are concerned already? of course. i think the same principles still apply. we still like to prepare, it is good to look at some thing ahead of time where possible and anticipate what the question will be and what the conversation will be and what the conversation will be. in oncology we will use the technique of talking to the patient and giving them the indication that there is something on the scan we
8:25 am
are worried about, that will be a verbal cue to help them understand that the doctor is going to tell them something important. i do not think technology replaces everything we learned that take —— at medical school, keeping eye contact and maintaining the focus on the patient, it isjust maintaining the focus on the patient, it is just that technology has changed. patient, it is 'ust that technology has changed.— patient, it is just that technology has chanced. .. .. has changed. good morning. you will be well aware — has changed. good morning. you will be well aware and _ has changed. good morning. you will be well aware and all _ has changed. good morning. you will be well aware and all sorts _ has changed. good morning. you will be well aware and all sorts of- be well aware and all sorts of industries ai is making an impact and already people are raising question marks about the benefits against the worries. you are a medical professional, you and your colleagues must have had that same thought process yourself which as we can see how it helps, you explain some of that, i heard there are things you are concerned about that as progress goes in one direction, what other bits of this that could cause you can surgeon? i what other bits of this that could cause you can surgeon?- what other bits of this that could cause you can surgeon? i think that is a aood

8:27 am
medical problems, in my area, medical imaging, they are not good enough yet. they have not reached a stage of maturity where we see tools that are being useful so they are an interesting technology but we are not there yet. as a medical researcher, we want to understand how we can bring in these new innovations from more general ai technologies and make them useful in practice. this technologies and make them useful in ractice. , , ., technologies and make them useful in ractice. , , . ,. . ., practice. this is fascinating and stuff. i practice. this is fascinating and stuff- iwill— practice. this is fascinating and stuff. i will ask _ practice. this is fascinating and stuff. i will ask you _ practice. this is fascinating and stuff. i will ask you a _ practice. this is fascinating and stuff. i will ask you a basic - stuff. i will ask you a basic question about cost because we all know money is part of the equation. this sounds expensive, where is the money going to come from for paying what can be hugely beneficial? yes. what can be hugely beneficial? yes, i think one of _ what can be hugely beneficial? yes, i think one of the _ what can be hugely beneficial? is: i think one of the things about some of these ai technologies is that the cost of actually getting into the system can be quite low. we heard a previous story about headsets, there is a cost of 2000— £3000 but a lot
8:28 am
of the development is into cloud computing, which is the way the hospital can use large amounts of computer power to run the ai hospital can use large amounts of computer power to run the aland you do not pay for it when you are not using it. for example, in my own preparation for radiotherapy, we worked out in a hospital one year use of the ai cost about £7,000 but it gives us back about £100,000 in the time of consultants so that is a very useful and valuable position in terms of cost. there way because these things will have to vary from case to case and i think that is important that we work together with management colleagues in terms of understanding to offset the cost against the value of each ai technology because there is no single solution for all the technologies. it single solution for all the technologies.— single solution for all the technologies. it has been fascinating _ technologies. it has been fascinating to _ technologies. it has been fascinating to talk - technologies. it has been fascinating to talk to - technologies. it has been |

8:40 am
well, it was tsitsipas. murray's face said it all as the world number five sealed victory. game, set and match, tsitsipas. another gutsy performance from murray, but another early exit. so would he be back next year? well, his emotion was obvious. um...i don't know right now. i put a lot into this year and preparing for wimbledon, and right now i don't know. yeah, i am just unbelievably disappointed and upsetjust now, and maybe i'll feel differently in a few days. but right now... yeah, doesn't feel good. disappointment then for andy murray on what was a disappointing day here for the home fans. it began with three british men left in the singles, it has ended with none. cameron norrie reached the semifinals last year,
8:41 am
but six—foot—seven chris eubanks proved too much for him. while liam broady was unable to spring another upset, losing to denis shapovalov. for the british trio, a day without triumph. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. elsewhere, novak djokovic has moved a step closer to defending his title for the fifth successive year. he's into round four, after easing past stan wawrinka in straight sets, and will now play hubert hurkacz in the last 16. the men's world number one is safely into the third round, carlos alcaraz beating the frenchman alexandre muller in straight sets. alcaraz looking very formidable and is yet to drop a set. no problems for the women's number one either. iga swiatek beat croatia's petra martic in straight sets to book her place in round four, where the olympic champion belinda bencic awaits.
8:42 am
it wasn't easy, but i was really playing well, so i tried to be focused from the beginning until the end and i'm pretty happy i got to lead in both sets. it really gave me confidence, and that i could close it in the second set. yes, i'm happy with my performance. ifeel like i'm doing well on grass and that's the most important thing for me. it could be a huge day for england's under 21 footballers. they're in the final of the european championship later today, up against the five—time champions spain. england haven't won the tournament in almost 40 years, but they've won every match in this campaign, and are yet to concede a goal. the new premier league season isjust over a month away from starting, and chelsea's new manager mauricio pochettino has called on his squad to hit the ground running. pochettino takes over a side that finished 12th last season and the argentine knows he's expected to bring success back to stamford bridge.
8:43 am
i know in football no patients. in football, it is difficult to wait, and then when you are here in chelsea it's not about asking for time, you have to deliver from chelsea it's not about asking for time, you have to deliverfrom day one. i think we are going to have a squad of players that can deliver and give what we expect. at the tour de france, it was almost a record—breaking day for mark cavendish. with the finish line of the seventh stage in sight, the british rider made his move, attacking the front and he looked on course for victory, and a record 35th stage win. butjasper philipsen had other ideas as the belgian snatched his third stage win of this year's tour. defending championjonas vingegaard retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. there was a big win for reigning super league champions st helens.
8:44 am
they came from behind against warrington wolves to beat them 24—20 — lewis dodd scoring the crucial try. it means that saints move from fifth to third in the table, leapfrogging wolves in the process. the opening day of the british grand prix weekend was business as usual for defending world champion max verstappen. he went fastest in first and second practice ahead of sunday's race — as he aims for a sixth straight victory. it was a disappointing day for the british drivers — with george russell the highest placed englishman — he set the 12th quickest time, with lewis hamilton 15th. i guess at silverstone they will be looking at the weather because of course rain in formula 1 can be interesting and make the race unpredictable. things haven't changed in the last few minutes and it is still pretty dry, butjust look at those clouds. it will make
8:45 am
it a fascinating day, notjust for the spectators in the western terrace, but also for the players. in and out, in and out of the pavilion as they try and get through the sessions, and england try to get those australian wickets which is so crucial for the whole outcome of this series. thank you, mike. we'll have a full weather forecast a little later here on breakfast. we are going to bring you the thoughts of lavender. lavender is known for its rich fragrance and aromatic foliage. as lavender farmers head into the busy harvest season, our reporter dan baker has been to explore one mini provence in cornwall which is expecting its biggest summer to date. these bees aren't the only ones working hard at cornish lavender. the owner tina bessell is ready to spring into action and harvest this year's flowers.
8:46 am
the next few weeks are going to be absolutely frantic as we enter the distillation and harvesting period, because we hand harvest but can only harvest on a dry day, and we have to harvest when it is dry because we don't want the lavender to rot. but honestly, the rewards are brilliant. oils, mists and even shortbread and cream teas are made from this lavender, but tina says it is not the easiest plant to farm. i always call lavender oil liquid gold because it takes an awful lot of stems to make a single drop of lavender oil. so i would say 50 stems for one drop, so all the lavender behind me here, we have got three litres of lavender oil out of these 700, 800 plants. but when we first started we were just getting a coke can's worth, like 300 millilitres, of our first 350 plants. so it takes a lot of effort, the plant had to mature and we got lots of these lovely flower spikes and get them maturing in the sunlight. people from every generation are squeezing in a few more visits to perranporth's mini—provence before this process begins. looking at it, it's so fabulous. everything is in bloom, it smells wonderful and the best
8:47 am
thing is it is covered in bees because we want to keep our furry friends happy, don't we? it's a treat really and it is lovely to come and see the beautiful lavender and be in this beautiful setting out in the countryside. it is a spectacle, and look at the view behind us. - this is still a work in progress for tina, though — she is planning on adding even more purple to the landscape. because we are organic we have to grow our own plants to plant more, i have a field above that is only about a third planted, we need 12,000 plants up there and probably have got about 2000, so three or four more years growing. dan bater, bbc news, perranporth. beautiful! that is a beautiful picture, isn't it, simon? absolutely, i love the lavender. looks glorious in the sunshine but may look a little less today?
8:48 am
this morning we've already seen the cloud building up and look at those rays coming through the cloud here in argyll and bute this morning. it has been a very warm night and the heat and humidity we had three yesterday and last night, we will see some thundery showers developing through the course of today. these showers could be quite torrential in places with frequent lightning, hail and gusty winds as well, so something to be well aware of. this is that satellite picture from this morning. you can see this area of cloud here. this is the troublemaker. this is what is bringing the thundery downpours today. it is moving north and east was and it is on this cold front so ahead of that some showers and a very warm and humid air is that cold front moves in. as those two clash that's where you get the big thunderstorms. this afternoon, the showers move north and east across many areas and all of us will be at risk today of catching a thundery shower. northern scotland is largely
8:49 am
dry with some sunshine. the odd shower in the north west of scotland but still quite warm and humid in parts of scotland. the risk of showers and thunderstorms in south—east scotland and north—east england and the rest of northern england and the rest of northern england during the afternoon. the brighter colours within these showers indicate those thundery downpours. don't take the location of those heavy showers too literally. there is a risk for many central and north—eastern areas throughout this afternoon. at wimbledon the main risk is this morning until about lunch time. through the afternoon, things should improve with some sunshine. not so much at headingley where we have seen rain already and have a mixed picture with the threat of showers and thunderstorms. low pressure is situated to the west as we go through sunday. that cold front is still lingering on across eastern areas, so still the risk of some heavy and thundery rain towards east anglia and the south—east of england. torrential downpours and
8:50 am
they will eventually clear away. that leaves us with sunny spells and scattered showers but it will be a slightly fresher day through tomorrow. temperature is down to 21 celsius. we lose the humidity as well. into next week, low pressure moves north and eastwards meaning we have a north—westerly wind setting up. around this area of low pressure, that's the direction the air takes. we will also see some showers moving in on the north—westerly wind. staying unsettled throughout next week. showers, longer spells of rain at times and breezy from time to time. temperature 16—20 and feeling fresher than it has been through yesterday and it will feel today as well. so a taste of not so much summer next week. the cost of living is something we talk about so much, and in amongst
8:51 am
thatis talk about so much, and in amongst that is energy bills. a story for you now. nearly three—quarters of a million households who were eligible for £400 of government help with their energy bills haven't been given it, and its now too late for them to apply to get it. that's according to research by radio 4 s money box programme and bbc verify. dan whitworth from the money box team joins us now. good morning. what happened? energy bill support scheme for most households, the vast majority, you didn't have to do anything. you got your £400 spread over six months from october through to march and you got £66 or £67 probably pay direct into your bank account and the vast majority of households were taken care of that way. there was a lot of help. there is the energy bill support scheme alternative funding and that's what we're talking about this morning, and that applies to these 900,000 households who were basically off the grid. they don't have direct debit

relationship with an electricity supplier. perhaps they live on narrow boats, in park homes or care homes, and they had to apply for it. they didn't get it automatically. over the wintertime there was some worry over whether these people were being left behind because the scheme was not even an until february so these 900,000 households in february were told, here is your £400 stop you can apply for it and we have done some investigation, and we have done some investigation, and we have done some investigation, and we have done some work with bbc verify who have crunched the numbers, and of the 900,000 households that were eligible, 750,000 households have not had that money. 50 eligible, 750,000 households have not had that money.— eligible, 750,000 households have not had that money. so only 150,000 received it? — not had that money. so only 150,000 received it? even _ not had that money. so only 150,000 received it? even fewer _ not had that money. so only 150,000 received it? even fewer than - not had that money. so only 150,000 received it? even fewer than that. - received it? even fewer than that. 130,000 have — received it? even fewer than that. 130,000 have either _ received it? even fewer than that. 130,000 have either had - received it? even fewer than that. 130,000 have either had the - received it? even fewer than that. i 130,000 have either had the money received it? even fewer than that. - 130,000 have either had the money or getting their money but tens of thousands had the application rejected. thousands had the application re'ected. ., . , . , rejected. you are explaining this well, but rejected. you are explaining this well. but the — rejected. you are explaining this well, but the bit _ rejected. you are explaining this well, but the bit i _ rejected. you are explaining this well, but the bit i don't - well, but the bit i don't understand, these are people who

9:03 am
the car has been taken away to be examined. its driver, a 46—year—old woman who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been released on bail. the number of flowers outside the school continues to grow. many of the messages are from selena's schoolmates. as the police investigation continues, families, a school and a community are trying to come to terms with how a tea party on the last day of summer term turned into a tragedy. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. louisa pilbeam is live for us now in wimbledon. well you have been standing there, i have seen a steady stream of people laying flowers on reading some of the comments.— laying flowers on reading some of the comments. yes, absolutely, as ou said, the comments. yes, absolutely, as you said. a — the comments. yes, absolutely, as you said, a steady _ the comments. yes, absolutely, as you said, a steady stream, - the comments. yes, absolutely, as you said, a steady stream, it's - the comments. yes, absolutely, as| you said, a steady stream, it's been

9:06 am
prohibiting the use. the issue as they can be fired from artillery rockets and drop tiny bomblets. these bombers can be useful militarily. you can be used against russian defensive positions in their counteroffensive. the concern of human rights groups as if they don't explode they can lie there for years and people can pick them up and they can kill people after the conflict is over. 50 they are controversial but in ukraine, the view is this decision by the us is welcome. it came after a lot of pressure by ukraine. it is because they are short of artillery and ammunition and they need for their counteroffensive. their viewers russia has been using these weapons against civilians in ukraine, they want to use them in a controlled manner for their own defence against a country which has occupied the man attacked them. so they have provided written assurances to the us about
9:07 am
how they will be used, where they will be used and the attempt to clear up their years afterwards. so certainly there will be controversy and some allies have different views from the us about this but here in ukraine, the cluster munitions are being welcomed. the last of the us's chemical weapon stockpiles have been destroyed. presidentjoe biden made the announcement yesterday and said it brings us one step closer to a "world free from the horrors of chemical weapons". they had to be destroyed in accordance with a 30 year old international treaty, which bans them and requires their destruction. a bbc presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, according to the sun newspaper. it is understood that the bbc is looking into the allegations. our media editor, katie razall has more. these accusation concerns serious misconduct by a presenter that the
9:08 am
newspaper claims is known to millions. the man who has not been named, it is claimed in the paper that he paid a teenager tens of thousands of pounds were sexually explicit images. the mother tells the newspaper the person had gone from happy—go—lucky to a ghostlike crack addict in three years. the family reported to have complained to the bbc in may 1930 which leaves questions around what steps were taken after the complaint. the family is reported to have become frustrated the star remains on air. the bbc said it treats any allegations seriously and take steps to investigate, including actively trying to speak to those who contacted them. it said figures no reply that can limit the ability to progress things but it does not stop inquiries and acts on any new information comes to light including from newspapers. we understand the present it is not scheduled to
9:09 am
appear on air in the coming days. murals of mickey mouse and other cartoon characters inside an asylum centre for children in dover have been painted over after an orderfrom the immigration minister. robertjenrick made the call reportedly because he believed they sent too welcoming a message. the home office confirmed the paintings — also depicting tom and jerry and baloo from thejungle book — were covered on tuesday. facial recognition software will be used for the first time at the british grand prix this weekend. it's in response to activists invading the race track last year ? silverstone bosses have warned there is a high risk of death or serious injury if it happens again. a five—day strike by junior doctors in england begins on wednesday — its after the national education union warned that teacher strikes could intensify in the autumn term in a row over pay. let's go to our political correspondent leila nathoo ? leila is this putting more pressure on the prime minister? good morning. good morning. yes, it

9:11 am
because of inflation so there is an impasse and there is also an impasse over where any funding for any salary increases will come from whether existing budgets or extra money. there is also a conversation about next year because the government has started receiving the recommendations of independent pay review bodies who cover half the public sector workers and make recommendations on salary. we have not heard a commitment from the government whether they will accept recommendations and there are reports about splits between government and cabinet whether they will do that. the government is clearly nervous about going over inflation or higher public sector increases well fuel inflation so there is a long way to go but there is nervousness in government at the longer strikes go on and the closer it gets to general election and that is not the background they want. thank you very much. saturday
9:12 am
morning, 12 minutes past nine. one story for you. a man's attempt to rob a nail salon in the us didn't go quite according to plan, when no one in the shop paid any attention. everybody get down, get down everybody. everybody get down, get down everybody. in the cctv footage, the suspect is heard ordering people to get down and hand over their money. people just ignored him. the customers and staff ignored his demands and he quietly walked outjust 30 seconds later. foolish man. he was like, nothing happening here. he was like, nothing happening here. a search for the man is ongoing. not sure that is the best way to deal with it. it’s not sure that is the best way to deal with it.— not sure that is the best way to deal with it. it's clearly worked. here's simon with a look at this morning's weather.

9:14 am
north—east. that is the indicator and dry for of these thundery showers. we have seen one or two dotted around, in the north and east of england. we show you that picture in the isle of wight, it is that band of rain moving north and east. so we continue with these heavy showers moving north and east through the day. look at the bright colours on the graphics, indicative of the torrential downpours. we could see them developing in the north west of scotland, still warm and humid in northern scotland, 27 or 28 c. we could see storms in north—east scotland. scattered storms in the north of england, a good chance of interruption at headingley. showers in the northeast and eastern areas of england as well. as the showers moved north, dry and sunny spells developing in the south. the main risk for
9:15 am
wimbledon is around lunchtime. it improves into the afternoon and evening. 23 or 24 c. at headingley, there was heavy and thundery showers, the risk during any time today so certainly will be interruptions. enter sandy, low pressure is still there, there is the weather front, the cold front moving east. —— into sunday. a fresher night tonight, temperatures not as high tomorrow morning. heavy rain in east anglia and the south—east, that will clear away and left with a mixture of sunny spells and showers but they could be thundery in places and a fresh feeling day, we lose the humidity, temperature is down to 22 or 23 c. enter next week, low pressure still there, moving north and eastwards. that means it will be unsettled, winds from the north, north—west so i fresher direction so temperatures
9:16 am
down to 19—22 c. we have some rain symbols for next week so showers are longer spells of rain, maybe even thunderstorms next week as a low pressure stays close by. not the forecast we want to see as we head into the summer holidays. what forecast we want to see as we head into the summer holidays. what was the name of — into the summer holidays. what was the name of that _ into the summer holidays. what was the name of that cloud? _ aspiratas. every day as a school day. you learn something _ every day as a school day. you learn something new. you can do almost everything on your smart phone — from ordering dinner, to searching for love, and even the more day—to—day essential like paying for tickets— but what if you don't have a smart phone? with more and more car parks ditching the cash and heading onto apps for payment— it�*s proving to be a concern, especially among the older generation. philip norton has been speaking
9:17 am
to people in east yorkshire. paying for parking. it can be confusing, even with cash. could you help me? i will have a look. there are more and more car parks across the country switching to phone or smartphone only parking. it was only app, no cash in whitby. everywhere else has been app or cash. what did you think about that? had to come out and find another car park. there are fears that the escalation of technology are alienating older people and those who can't afford smartphones. this is my phone, can hardly be called smart,
9:18 am
councillor wilcox recently tabled a motion at full council meeting to ensure cash would be kept as an option. east riding council have no plans to ditch it but it confirms it was well supported. we are rushing head long into this but leaving people behind as if they don't matter. they do matter. the elderly, not elderly sorry, people over 65, 20% of all drivers and a quarter don't have smartphones so that is a problem. everybody that does say they can't be bothered doing thisjust for the sake of a few quid to park for a few minutes. it isjust not worth the hassle. so more people leaving the town centre _ so more people leaving the town centre. i have actually watched people stand there for five or ten minutes trying i to figure out how to pay by app, especially the older generation. | why aren't you paying by an app? why aren't i paying with an app?
9:19 am
because i don't have an app and because life is complicated enough. how did you pay for your parking today? on the app. on the app? yes. why is that? because i never really carry cash around. so it isjust easier to download the app. use it on the go so i can lock the car up and go straight to the shops or where i need to be. and of course it is notjust parking were technology trends are having an impact. the railway station here, one of at least 15 across our area which could lose its ticket office as people move towards electronic ticketing on their phones and using the vending machines. those plans as well have been criticised by the impact it will happen to those who cannot afford one of these, who cannot use one or who perhaps simply don't want one. and you've been getting in touch to tell us how it's affecting you.
9:20 am
sue, who is 76, got in touch to say, "i suspect there are many people like myself who comes from a generation that prefers to still use good old fashioned cash". thank you for that one. gary works in a hospital and he said: "i do believe in modern technology, but parking apps cost between 20 and 40p extra to park — i will always use cash because it's cheaper". and pensioner kathie told us: "i am a pensioner and do not want to add any financial payment cards or information to my phone, i think this is an opportunity for scammers". a lot of people worry about putting more information on their phones and if they put payment information on there, that is something people worry about. keep your thoughts coming in, it is one of those stories that keep —— gets people going. stories that keep -- gets people main, �* , , stories that keep -- gets people oooin. �* , . ,, stories that keep -- gets people oooin. , . stories that keep -- gets people oooin_ �* , ., , going. absolutely, thank you very much, charlie. _

you might like your pasta topped with parmesan, but how would you feel if it contained dried insects? more than 2 billion people around the world eat insects every day and many rave about them as a source of vitamins and protein. sofia bettiza has been to an insect farm in north italy that produces pasta made from ground critters. would you eat cricket pasta? eating insects is nothing new in parts of the world like asia. but is there a shift happening in europe? this farm in northern italy terms 1 million crickets into food every day. first, the crickets, still alive, are frozen. boiled. dried, and then pulverised. this is the final result,
9:22 am
a cricket—based flour that can be added to food, like pasta, bread or pancakes. and it is good for the planet. insects require a fraction of the land and water that is used to produce meat. translation: what we do here is very sustainable. to produce one kilogram of cricket powder we only use about 12 litres of water. whereas producing the same amount of protein from cals requires about 60,000 litres of water. but how does this get on your plate? some restaurants buy the flour and add it to some of the more traditional dishes, like pasta. cricket pasta? yes. here we go. i am about to taste cricket tagliatelle. this is really good. it tastes like normal pasta. i would not be able to tell that this is cricket based. it is delicious. and it's a superfood. it is packed with vitamin c, fibre and minerals.

one plate of cricket pasta contains as much protein as a steak. but is it a realistic option? there is one problem— it is very expensive. cricket flour costs about £60 per kilo, way more expensive than a standard bag of pasta which costs about £1. that means that for now, insect food is a niche option. translation: the meat i produce is much cheaper than the cricket flour, and it is very good quality. it is healthy and i am absolutely against this new food products. we don't know what they can do to you. a good steak makes you happy. i can't really imagine people eating crickets at restaurants. but a change in attitudes is happening. belgium, austria and the netherlands are the countries that are more open—minded, and with the eu approving foods made from insects, the prices are expected to go down,

9:34 am
australian total, and that kept the game alive. and then england did get some wickets to lead australia 142 runs ahead, 116—4. and the scene is perfectly set for what could be the pivotal day of the series. an unpredictable day with the weather, but at the moment it is sunny. a hive of activity with less than 1.5 hours before play begins. they are getting the wicket ready over to the right. jenny bairstow is getting some batting practice in over there. he may get to bat later today. let's bring in the legend that isjonathan agnew, test match special commentator, and former england bowler. you played in the 1985 ashes. not many people can say they have played in an ashes series. i think today is a pivotal day. england will know today what they have to do to stay in the ashes. if australia get too many, and that proves beyond them, then the ashes are gone and that would be a real shame. there's been so much build—up
9:35 am

9:36 am
all the fielders on the boundary. there is an argument for batting him higher up with another batsman at the other end, and then the australians don't put fielders all along the edge and he can hit normal boundaries. but i got rather shouted down. that was my theory last night. he is so important. he is on a different level. so i think england need to make the best of him. it is the bowlers today. mark wood has been down on pace, not surprisingly. he was voracious in the first innings but he hasn't played for months. so he was a bit down yesterday. they have got two partnerships to break. this one and the next one and then they are down to the bowlers. if they can get there quickly, before australia add to many, then england will know what they have to do. figs to many, then england will know what they have to do. $5 a to many, then england will know what they have to do— they have to do. as a former player for england. _ they have to do. as a former player for england, what _ they have to do. as a former player for england, what difference - they have to do. as a former player for england, what difference do i they have to do. as a former player for england, what difference do thei for england, what difference do the conditions make customer if you are a player going in and out of the pavilion because of the rain, does that favour bowlers or batters in

9:38 am
win to keep the series alive. tonight also marks a special anniversary, the 25th anniversary the creation of the women's ashes. it wasn't big enough to play at lord's, we're in the middle of an ashes series where the score is on the line, the win is on the line. there is hopefully another record crowd here tomorrow. yes, everything i guess has been getting us to this point over ourjourneys in cricket, and i think in women's sport in england as well. itjust feels like you are part of the wider world and hopefully we can do everyone proud tomorrow. if thursday was a day to remember for british players at wimbledon, yesterday definitely wasn't. at the beginning of the week there were 1a british players in the singles and now there is just one, katie boulter who will fly the flag alone. she is the only briton left in the singles in either the men's
9:39 am
or women's and she takes on the defending champion no less on centre court. three of our men fell yesterday in succession. cameron norrie, liam broady and andy murray. andy mary went into the day to— one up. —— andy murray. so was this his wimbledon farewell? andy murray heading for the exit, not knowing if he will be back. earlier he had resumed 2—1 sets up against stefanos tsitsipas and he began brightly. no signs of the previous night's injury scare. he began to happen one up against tsitsipas. the fans were up for it, but then so was tsitsipas, as he took a fourth set tie—break. and so to a deciding set. who would seize the moment? well, it was tsitsipas. murray's face said it all as the world number five sealed victory. game, set and match, tsitsipas.
9:40 am
another gutsy performance from murray, but another early exit. so would he be back next year? well, his emotion was obvious. um...i don't know right now. i put a lot into this year and preparing for wimbledon, and right now i don't know. yeah, i am just unbelievably disappointed and upsetjust now, and maybe i'll feel differently in a few days. but right now... yeah, doesn't feel good. disappointment then for andy murray on what was a disappointing day here for the home fans. it began with three british men left in the singles, it has ended with none. cameron norrie reached the semifinals last year, but six—foot—seven chris eubanks proved too much for him. while liam broady was unable to spring another upset, losing to denis shapovalov. for the british trio,

a day without triumph. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. elsewhere, novak djokovic has moved a step closer to defending his title for a fifth successive year. he's into round four, after easing past stan wawrinka in straight sets and will now play hubert hurkacz in the last 16. the men's world number one is safely into the third round — carlos alcaraz beating the frenchman alexandre muller in straight sets. alcaraz looking very formidable — and is yet to drop a set. no problems for the women's number one either. iga swiatek beat croatia's petra martic in straight sets to book her place in round four — where the olympic champion belinda bencic awaits. it wasn't easy, but i was really playing well, so i tried to be focused from the beginning until the end and i'm pretty happy i got to lead in both sets.
9:42 am
it really gave me confidence, that i could close it in the second set. yes, i'm happy with my performance. ifeel like i'm doing well on grass and that's the most important thing for me. it could be a huge day for england's under 21 footballers. they're in the final of the european championship later today — up against the five—time champions spain. england haven't won the tournament in almost a0 years — but they've won every match in this campaign — and are yet to concede a goal. the new premier league season isjust over a month away from starting — and chelsea's new manager mauricio pochettino has called on his squad to hit the ground running. pochettino takes over a side that finished 12th last season — and the argentine knows he's expected to bring success back to stamford bridge. i know in football no patience. in football, it is difficult to wait, and then when you are here in chelsea it's not about asking
9:43 am
for time, you have to deliver from day one. we need to create a belief from the beginning. i think we are going to have a squad of players that can deliver and give what we expect. at the tour de france, it was almost a record—breaking day for mark cavendish. with the finish line of the seventh stage in sight, the british rider made his move — attacking the front and he looked on course for victory — and a record 35th stage win. however, a mechanical failure happened however, a mechanicalfailure happened with his bike gears. jasper philipsen had other ideas — as the belgian snatched his third stage win of this year's tour. defending championjonas vingegaard retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. it's the british grand prix at silverstone this weekend and regardless of who's winning the race on pole, it's more likely than not that a certain german driver will be leading the way at some point during the race.

for the 24th season bernd maylander has been the driver of the safety car which is called into action when there's an incident or debris on the track and the race has to be slowed down. but as i found out when i went to meet bernt, at silverstone there's nothing slow about him or his safety cars. he has led more laps in formula 1 than most world champions, but never won a race. not got to the chequered flag first, despite being in the sport of the 2a years. it is because for all that time, bernt maylander has been the driver of the safety car. call into action to get in front of the leading drivers to slow them down when things go wrong. you are alwa s them down when things go wrong. you. are always ready to go. you get
