or unlawful took place. the sun says it stands by its story, and in the paper this morning, the young person's parents accuse the bbc of lying about their original complaint. nato leaders gather in lithuania, with ukraine's membership and defence spending on the agenda. a warning that the row over pay in the health service risks breaking the fundamental relationship between the nhs and its staff. figures out today are expected to show more people taking up second jobs, as wages fail to keep up with rising prices. i'll be looking at why inflation is leaving us all worse off. in sport, we could be heading towards a huge final showdown at wimbledon as the men's world number one carlos alcaraz and the defending champion novak djokovic both reach the quarterfinals. good morning.

currently we have got some rain pushing across the south—east, clearing through this morning. behind it, a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of the showers heavy and thundery in northern and central scotland. another breezy day. details later. the parents of a young person at the heart of allegations against a bbc presenter are standing by their account, according the sun newspaper, after a lawyer representing the individual said their claims were rubbish. the newspaper first reported that the unnamed presenter had allegedly paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos last week. our correspondent charlotte gallagher has the latest. after days of damaging headlines, allegations and rumours, this story of a bbc presenter allegedly paying thousands for sexually explicit images is still dominating front pages. now a statement on behalf of the young person at the centre

of this. they've called the allegations, by their mother, rubbish. their lawyer says, "nothing inappropriate nor unlawful has taken place between our client and the bbc personality", adding the young person sent a denial to the sun on friday evening via whatsapp. but the sun proceeded to publish what they call an inappropriate article. in an interview splashed on the paper's front page this morning, the young person's parents say they stand by their account, claiming the presenter has got into their loved one's head. they also accuse the bbc of lying, and claim they spent an hour telling the corporation about the allegations in may. this appears to contradict a previous statement, which said the family say no one from the corporation rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint. there is still so much we don't know.

bbc news has not seen the evidence the sun newspaper says it has. is this about an abuse of power and trust? a scandal at the bbc? a scandal in tabloid journalism? or none of these? it was almost two months between the first complaint and the presenter�*s suspension. many have questions over why that took such a long time. on the face of it you would think that there were enough red flags in that information without knowing exactly what it was on the 19th of may, to have escalated this up the chain of command, to prevent the situation that we're in now. yesterday, the bbc met with the metropolitan police. officers are now making inquiries as to whether there is evidence of a criminal offence, but say there is no investigation at this time. until it is clearer, until we have a greater knowledge from possibly the police,

the bbc itself, the alleged victim, or the victim's mother in this case, it's very hard to know exactly what we're criticising the bbc four. today, the bbc director—general, tim davie, is due to speak to journalists about the bbc�*s annual report. but the event is likely to be dominated by this developing crisis. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. lizo, we've heard these two conflicting statements. where does this leave the situation this morning? yes, an extraordinary few hours in an extraordinary story. we have different people's i filled with allegations and frankly no confusion. certainly the most crucial thing in all of this is the question, is this a situation where the welfare of a child has been impacted? perhaps the most damaging

and concerning allegation is the one made by the young individual�*s mother through the sun that someone, a well—known bbc presenter, paid more than £35,000 to a young individualfor more than £35,000 to a young individual for sexually explicit images, something the paper says through the family started when the person was 17 years old, so legally, still a child. now this has been disputed in the letter from the lawyer representing the young individual, who is now 20. the letter is adamant that nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between their client and the bbc personality. and the allegations reported in the sun newspaper are rubbish. that has been responded to by the sun my saying, "we have reported a story about two very concerned parents who made a complaint to the bbc about the behaviour of a presenter and the welfare of a child. their complaint

was not acted upon by the bbc. we have seen evidence that supports their concerns. it is now time for their concerns. it is now time for the bbc to investigate." so, the situation is far from the bbc to investigate." so, the situation is farfrom clear. we have the reputation of the unnamed presenter, the role of the bbc in all of this, and of course, crucially, potentially, the welfare of a child. bbc director—general, team davey, will facejournalist bbc director—general, team davey, will face journalist later this morning?— will face journalist later this mornin? , ., ., morning? yes, it was prearranged that today was _ morning? yes, it was prearranged that today was the _ morning? yes, it was prearranged that today was the davey - morning? yes, it was prearranged that today was the davey bbc - morning? yes, it was prearranged l that today was the davey bbc would present its annual report. —— tim davey. until now and this whole story we have had statements from the bbc but nobody from management going in front ofjournalists, asking questions. so hopefully we should get more clarity on this story later today.— should get more clarity on this story later today. thank you for now. story later today. thank you for nova lizo _ story later today. thank you for now. lizo mzimba. _ story later today. thank you for now. lizo mzimba. sally - story later today. thank you for now. lizo mzimba. sally has . story later today. thank you for| now. lizo mzimba. sally has the story later today. thank you for - now. lizo mzimba. sally has the rest of the main stories.

nato leaders will meet in lithuania today, with ukraine's potential membership on the agenda. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is in vilnius for us this morning. james, rishi sunak is also expected to call on nato allies to invest more in defence? yeah, that is right. obviously what is being discussed here is notjust whether or not ukraine should or should not become a member at some stage, they're also going to be discussing what support they can give in the long run, notjust for ukraine, but also for themselves, to try to deter future aggression. so, one of the points the british prime minister will be making is that nato allies need to step up and increase their defence spending. at the moment there is a sort of broad ambition that every country should spend 2% of the national wealth on defence. britain does that. not many other countries do. seven in total after the 31 nato allies. what the

prime minister says, and i think this might be agreed, is that that broad ambition should become a base minimum, so that every country has to meet that. because the problem is at the moment they are simply not spending enough, particularly on basic things like artillery shells. what this war has shown up is that western allies and nato have given ukraine lots of shells. they have run out of shells. that is why the uk will increase the number of shells they make over the next few years, eight times more than they normally do. a teenage boy is being questioned on suspicion of the attempted murder of a teacher, who was stabbed at a school in tewkesbury yesterday morning. the male teacher was taken to hospital with a single wound, and has since been discharged. tewkesbury academy says it will reopen today. mortgage lenders will be questioned by mps this morning, about the rising costs facing homeowners. average rates on a two—year fixed deal could exceed the level seen after liz truss' mini—budget later today. the average interest rate on

a deal is currently at 6.63%. a court case has begun in the united states, aiming to resolve a dispute over aretha franklin's estate. the singer died in 2018, and three of her four sons are now contesting how her multi—million pound fortune should be shared, after several different handwritten wills were found in her home. drivers on the london underground will strike on two days later this month, in their ongoing dispute over pay and working conditions. the action by the aslef union, will take place onjuly 26th and 28th, and will coincide with other planned walkouts on the rail network. transport for london say they are urging the union to resolve the dispute. elsewhere, health leaders have warned that the bitter row over pay between unions and the government risks breaking the fundamental relationship between the nhs and its staff. nhs providers, which represents hospital trusts, has called for last minute talks to prevent planned walkouts byjunior doctors, consultants and radiographers in the coming weeks.

vincent mcaviney has more. for months, various nhs unions have led staff across the service out on strikes. nurses, junior doctors, radiographers and midwives have all felt the need to walk out awards over pay and conditions. with the health system already struggling with pandemic backlogs, more than 100 chief executives and chairs and nhs trusts have now issued a warning over their deep concerns of the lasting legacy of these strikes. every time we see a strike it makes it more difficult to recover from and we are seeing, of course, an ongoing impact on patients and the services they receive. and also, an ongoing impact on staff themselves

affected by the industrial action. in england, consultants, the most senior and specialist doctors, are set to strike for the first time over two days next week. in the wake ofjunior doctors are staging the largest ever walk out in the nhs' history this week. nhs providers, which represents trust, has called for 11th hour talks to enter the disruption. a department of health and social care spokesperson said... but with nhs staff in scotland having successfully negotiated acceptable pay rises, unions in england have enjoyed broad public support thus far. they are determined to win the same from the government here. vincent mcavennie, bbc news. ministers will try to make a series of changes to the government's illegal migration bill today, as it returns to the commons.

our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, what changes have been proposed? this is a really important piece of legislation for the government and its plan to stop the boats, as rishi sunak puts it. but it has been absolutely battered in the house of lords. 20 changes made by peers to the government's plans. and the government has been forced to back down on some of the key elements that it wanted to introduce. so, there are two things worth flagging. one is detention. how long you can hold an asylum seeker. under the plan is the government had, unaccompanied children would be able to be held for 28 days. a lot of people said that was unacceptable. they wanted it down to three days. today, i think, they wanted it down to three days. today, ithink, we they wanted it down to three days. today, i think, we will get a compromise from the government. eight days. they have been forced to water down that plan a bit. they

have also been forced to abandon plans which would have allowed them to hold pregnant women for a period of time. that will be limited at 72 hours, orthree of time. that will be limited at 72 hours, or three days, as well. the second thing, which is really interesting, is, when the new rules come into place, the government had wanted them to come into place retrospectively back in march, when this legislation was introduced to parliament. that is not going to happen any more. the rules won't come into place until this piece of legislation becomes law, probably in the next few weeks. and that is pretty significant, because it means thousands of people that cross the channel on small boats in the past few months won't automatically be deported. they will get a chance to have their asylum claims heard. so, that seems pretty significant to me. and it all shows us that this piece of legislation, the government really wants through, it talks a tough game when it comes to migration. but it is proving pretty tricky to introduce new laws. as

we've covered on breakfast for months, four years, it is pretty tricky to stop the small boats after all. ., ~ tricky to stop the small boats after all. . ~ , ., streams of lava are pouring into a valley in south eastern iceland, as the country's latest volcanic eruption continues. it's the second time in less than a year that the fagradalsfjall volcano, which is around 20 miles away from the capital reykjavik,has erupted. so far, there has been no damage or disruption, despite being close to a major airport. impressive pictures. most more impressive is your pronunciation. much more impressive was your ability to swerve having to say the name of that volcano! i love what you did. let's go to carol, who has a beautiful rainbow for us this morning. good morning. if you arejust stepping out it is probably worth taking your body with you. keep it in your bag a week because low

pressure is firmly in charge of the weather and it is going to remain fairly unsettled. thursday we could see fewer showers. but today it is sunny spells and heavy showers, some of which will be thundery. we have got the rain still to clear from the south—east. it will do so through the course of the morning. rain in northern and central scotland. for the rest of us it is a mixture of sunshine and showers. even those showers could merge to give longer spells of rain and be heavy and thundering. it is going to be a breezy day wherever you are. temperatures 15 to about 22 degrees north to south. as we had on through the evening and overnight, more rain moves in across northern scotland. we have got a weather front coming into west, some showers. but the showers in the rest of england and wales will fail. still a breezy night. not as humid in the south as it is at the moment. temps —— temperatures 12 to 1a degrees. in

due tomorrow, we start with some sunshine. the weather front from the west will cross into the east through the day. some of those showers could be heavy and thundery. and we also have some rain coming across the far north of scotland. temperatures tomorrow, we're looking at 16 in the north, to 21 in the south. and once again, it is going be breezy. so, as i mentioned at the top, make sure you have your brolly with you. you will need it always, carol. thank you. the number of people registering for council housing and affordable homes in cornwall has more than doubled in two years, as people struggle with the rising cost of living. for some deprived communities, facing financial hardship is nothing new, and our special correspondent fergal keane has returned to one village near truro, where he first met struggling farmers ben and jacky bailey, more than 20 years ago.

at the end of this laneway, i once met a family whose dream was dying. 20 years ago, ben and jacky bailey, on the day they were forced to sell their herd, i saw how they were overwhelmed. how bad of things gotten lately? income's collapsed. costs have gone up. bureaucracy has increased. and we've run out of money. it does feel like you've failed, even though you know that it's not your fault really. how are you? good to see you, darlin'. good to see you. i'm good. the baileys fought back, took on other work, scrimped and saved. and over the decades, rebuilt their herd. but now, in their 60s, they face a new challenge. in less than five years, they'll have to leave here. as tenant farmers, they don't own the land or the cottage. what do you worry about?

just — being under a bloody hedge, really. having somewhere to live and. because it seems — i don't know. ijust think, all we do is work, and we work really hard, and we've always worked really hard, and still can't afford somewhere to live. it's a bit annoying that whatever you do, however much capital you accumulate... it's never enough. what we're doing is never going to get you to the point where you can just say, right, we're secure now. the baileys will sell the assets they own to try and get on the property ladder. but they know too well how the cornish beauty, loved by tourists, obscures a deepening crisis. the number of people on the social housing register here has more than doubled since the coronavirus pandemic. i've come to this community charity

in newquay to meet some of those fighting an escalating crisis of homelessness and poverty. if you want to have a look — if there's anything there, i just help yourselves. monique collins is a soldier's wife who's galvanised the community to help those being pushed to the margins. we're finding more and more families are becoming - homeless, because we get- like a domino roll on effect almost. so you have an owner of a home that has let their property for, l let's say, ten, 15. years to a person, now they'll find that their daughter or son becomes homeless. - so they now have to evict that family to actually- accommodate their own children. this caravan tells one story of homelessness. the toilet's at the back and there's no shower because there's no water supply. katie pound lives here on her parents' drive with her two children. it's hot.

yeah, i've literallyjust cooked it, that's why. she's been waiting for housing for 18 months. we have a box each of normal clothes and the school uniform's in the cupboard. and that's about all of our clothes. you're bottling up a lot of emotion? yeah. yeah — well, for the kids. i don't want to sit and cry in front of the kids when... it is hard, but... just not knowing when it's going to come to an end, living like this. it's hard. didn't think we'd be here this long. just, there ain't no more i can do now. apart from just keep

going forwards, trying. people keep going, communities rally around. but they bear a strain that shows no sign of easing. fergal keane, bbc news, cornwall. you can watch the full documentary, brave britain with fergal keane, on bbc one tonight at eight o'clock, and it will also be available on the iplayer. let's take a look at today's papers. the metro leads with the stabbing of a teacher at a school in tewkesbury. it shows a father hugging his daughter after the pupils were finally allowed to leave, and it also has an image ofjamie sansom, who has been named locally as the injured teacher. the telegraph reports on plans to offer ukraine what it calls nato—lite protection, with a special arrangement similar to the one between israel and its western allies.

talks are ongoing ahead of the nato summit in lithuania, which the times also features on its front page, alongside a photograph of king charles sharing a laugh withjoe biden. the us president paid a flying visit to windsor on his way to the nato summit. and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website is about a village in suffolk where the poisonous plant hemlock was found growing along a path near the local school. and sticking with the summer issues, take a look at this picture from italy because there is a story developing in italy at the moment about the weather. italians obviously spending a lot of time recently trying to cool off in naples, sitting in the sea, chairs and all. experts are predicting temperatures in italy could break a european record this week. they

think it could hit more than 45 celsius. the record is 48. that picture tells you all you need to know about how people are trying to keep cool in the sea off naples. great idea. i love that picture. there is one story in the papers today that i have loved. do you like a picnic? oh, yes. i have loved. do you like a picnic? 0h, es. ., ,. ., have loved. do you like a picnic? oh, yea-_ what - have loved. do you like a picnic? oh, yes._ what do| have loved. do you like a picnic? i oh, yes._ what do you oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, — oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, these _ oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, these days _ oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, these days you - oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, these days you are - oh, yes. i love picnics. what do you take? well, these days you are not| take? well, these days you are not allowed to take _ take? well, these days you are not allowed to take a _ take? well, these days you are not allowed to take a sausage - take? well, these days you are not allowed to take a sausage roll - allowed to take a sausage roll because it is not posh enough. i am not a fan of a sausage roll. what because it is not posh enough. i am not a fan of a sausage roll.- not a fan of a sausage roll. what is our not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? — not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? lots _ not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? lots of— not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? lots of picky _ not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? lots of picky bits. - not a fan of a sausage roll. what is your ideal? lots of picky bits. why| your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage _ your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage roll _ your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage roll not _ your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage roll not one _ your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage roll not one of- your ideal? lots of picky bits. why is a sausage roll not one of them? i'm not sure. according to this server in the daily mail, if you turn up to a picnic with a sausage roll and a flask of tea you are likely to be greeted with disapproving glances. i likely to be greeted with disapproving glances. you disapproving glances. i agree! you have to take _

to whitegate animal sanctuary. she'd been living in a small flat in manchester for seven years, and had been regularly fed junk food and fizzy drinks. she'd reached a whopping 26 stone. she could barely walk. we had to roll over to get her up, and she'd spend sometimes 48 hours lying in bed having to be fed. she was in a lot of pain. it was almost as though she'd closed down and shut down. the volunteers at the sanctuary put her on a strict pig friendly diet, and with time the pounds began to drop. and portia has come a long way since she arrived here. she's now learning how to become a pig again, and she's made some mates. she now sleeps nose to nose with the other pigs that we've got here at the sanctuary. with time and with love and with care and patience, we've managed to basically get her back introduced to being a pig. she didn't know what straw was, so she didn't know how to make herself a bed.

she went from a very shut down, very sad, very depressed pig, to someone now with quite a good little life attitude. she loves to scratch! and for not so portly portia, life is looking up. molly brewer, bbc news. what a summer transformation. looking much better. find what a summer transformation. looking much better. coming up later in the programme... we'll meet a 13—year—old boy who has an incredible gift for playing the piano, despite being blind and having complex disabilities. he's now made friends with a fellow musician, as part of a scheme to combat loneliness. his story is coming up at 6:45. now it's time for the news, travel and weather where you are.

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. police are continuing to look for a man who went missing from hospital midway through treatment almost a week ago. mohammed mboob dissappeared from enfield. police say they believe he attends music studios and has links to brent cross, hackney and bromley. the force say he should not be approached by members of the public, particularly women. london city airport's plans to expand the number of passengers and fights has been rejected by newham council's planning committee over concerns about noise pollution. the airport wanted to?extend its flights until 6.30 on saturdays instead of 1pm and later during the summer months as well as other changes. the proposals were part of its plans to increase the number of annual passengers from 6.5 million to nine million. airport bosses said the plans would create localjobs and benefit near—by businesses.

the government is being urged to come up with a plan about the future of a derelict block of flats that used to house prison officers from pentonville prison. campaigners say the 28 units which have been empty for a decade could help tackle the shortage of housing in the borough. the ministry ofjustice they're looking at options to get value for taxpayers after a planning application was refused. the government didn't make a full planning application. they applied for a certificate of lawfulness. if the government would make a full planning application, and i would encourage them to do so, then under our tough planning regulations, 50% of these homes would have to be genuinely affordable homes. i would encourage the government to make a planning application. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. the northern line is part suspended but otherwise there's a good service on the rest of the network. now onto the weather

with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. staying rather unsettled across the capital as we head through the rest of this week so some more showers, some longer spells of rain around at times, and it's quite a wet start to the morning for many of us. it's mild and it's muggy out there too. it will be a slowly improving picture as the day goes on, so the rain will peter out. the front is gradually pushing its way southwards and eastwards, and there could still be a few light patches of rain as we head through the afternoon, maybe one or two showers. plenty of cloud but also some brighter spells developing at times. we will see temperatures peak in the best of the brightness at around 21, 22 celsius so generally cooler than it was yesterday. the winds are also a little lighter. this evening and overnight, it does look dry with lots of long clear spells. this is how we start the day on wednesday. on wednesday, low pressure still dominating. there will be some more showers springing up here and there, but also some sunny spells. temperatures are a little higher. it looks largely dry on thursday.

that's it from me, more on bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now let's go back to sally and ben. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. in just over half an hour's time, we'll get the latest employment figures showing us how fast wages are rising to keep up with inflation. ben's here with the details. that's the important point, isn't it, that wages have not been keeping up it, that wages have not been keeping up and then also concerned that if they go up too quickly, it could fuel inflation.— fuel inflation. yes, it's a real problem. — fuel inflation. yes, it's a real problem, this. _ fuel inflation. yes, it's a real problem, this. people - fuel inflation. yes, it's a real| problem, this. people seeing fuel inflation. yes, it's a real- problem, this. people seeing prices

rising may well see their wages rise, they would hope, but last night the government of the bank of england and the chance said if wages go england and the chance said if wages 9° up england and the chance said if wages go up to sharply coming prices will keep going up and it will hit their efforts to bring down inflation. let me break this down for you. at seven o'clock we get a whole range of data that shows us things like how many people are currently in work, and what the average pay rises are. we'll also find out about the number of second jobs that workers are taking on to help pay the bills. there's been a steady rise in people taking them up since the pandemic. that number is going up even more during the cost of living crisis. it currently stands at almost 150,000. now that could be partly because people's pay packets aren't going as far as they used to. last month's figures showed that uk wages rose by an average of 7.2%, the fastest rate in 20 years,

excluding the pandemic. crucially, that figure is still below the rate of inflation which is currently stuck at 8.7%. so wages just aren't keeping up with increased costs for things like fuel, energy bills and food. the bank of england is trying to bring inflation under control by raising interest rates, currently at 5%. the idea is to encourage us to spend less and save more. and it's warned that big pay rises are fuelling price rises. all this comes while some people like teachers and nhs workers have been striking about below—inflation pay rises. public sector salaries are recommended by pay review bodies and its expected they'll publish their findings soon although ministers can ignore that advice. so lots of people will be keeping a close eye on today's figures. but what are workers doing

to cope when their wages aren't stretching as far? hannah miller has been finding out. working nine to five as a community nurse, forjill, finishing up here doesn't mean heading home for the night. in the past couple of months, she's taken on a second job. emergency care from six till midnight, twice a week. i thought it'd be good clinically, its development. it's extra money, which is always a good thing to have. it's really common. so where i go in to do the out—of—hours work, a lot of the people i see i will have seen in the community services. so it's quite a regular thing to see. you could, if you decide to do that, you will probably bump into people that you've seen during the day. are you knackered? yeah, i am, i am tired. you know, the extra in recent weeks is, yeah, it's pretty tiring. so i'm not going to carry on for much longer doing that amount.

the shadows are painted as highlights and the highlights are painted as shadows. kristen used to work full time as an artist. i've developed a filter on instagram which reinverts everything. so if you have a look at the painting through this... oh, wow, that's amazing. thank you. it looks completely different. but when the pandemic struck, kristen had to get even more creative with her career, taking on a full time role in communications for the nhs. i struggle with my two jobs making ends meet. i would say that there's always that kind of like crunch time before, like a week before payday and i'm really good with my finances, and itjust kind of covers my rent and bills at basics. and then art is food and leisure. does it bother you that your full time nhs job doesn't support you with your basic bills? yeah, it really annoys me, especially thinking about people

who rely on that 100% and don't have a business that they built on the side. i don't know how they do it. people who have families to feed, it's scary. hr representatives say they're increasingly hearing from employers concerned for the wellbeing of people with more than one job. i think it's always important for employers to have a good insight into what's happening for their people. we saw in the pandemic that people's financial wellbeing and their mental wellbeing are really closely linked. so it's definitely a conversation, it's definitely transparency on both parts about what's acceptable, what isn't, but also how it's going to be supported. and with more and more people taking on second jobs, those conversations are likely to become more frequent. hannah miller, bbc news. we spoke to the department of health and social care who told us more than a million eligible nhs staff received a pay rise and one—off payments last month. i'll be back with the latest figures at seven.

with carlos alcarez and novak djokovic both reaching the quarter finals. no problems for the women's defending champion elena rybakina either. as andy swiss reports. so will we be seeing this again later on? it's now a decade since novak djokovic lost a match on centre court. although yesterday he did lose a set to poland's hubert hurkacz. but it was soon back to business as usual. djokovic will later face andrei rublev in the quarterfinals, and he's still the man to beat. although carlos alcaraz might have other ideas. why hit over the net when you can just hit round it? a stroke of genius from the world number one as he beat matteo berrettini. other, more unheralded stars have emerged, though. chris eubanks, six foot seven, with an even bigger personality. over five scintillating sets he blazed past stefanos tsitsipas. the grass and i, we've had a very strenuous

relationship over the years, but right now i think it's my best friend. in the women's singles, last year's finalists elena rybakina and ons jabeur are both safely through. in fact, they will now meet in the quarterfinals. but there was disappointment for one of the game's most exciting talents. 16—year—old mirra andreeva won the first set against madison keys. but then it all went wrong. after being twice warned for throwing her racket, she was docked a point. point penalty, mirra andreeva. but i didn't throw the racket, ifell. that gave match point to keys, which she promptly took. andreeva refused to shake the umpire's hand afterwards, but she will surely be back. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. there's been gold medal success for great britain at the world para—athletics championships asjonathan broom—edwards

retained his highjump title, but he wasn't alone at the top. broom—edwards seen here shared his gold medal with poland's maciej lepiato after both had jumped 2.05 metres in paris. organisers gave them the opportunity of a jump—off, but the two agreed to share gold instead. broom—edward's gold is the second that great britain have won at the championships. turns out anthonyjoshua feels much the same way as we all do expressing his frustration at the wrangling that prevents the biggest fights in the heavyweight boxing division from happening. joshua is still hoping to fight deontay wilder and tyson fury in the future, but will take on dillian whyte next month at london's o2 arena. the bout will see the pair fight each other for the first time sincejoshua beat whyte in 2015. forget wilder and them lot, them lot have been doing my head in for so many years. you lot have seen all the shenanigans in the heavyweight division. you can see all the lies has been going on. so i don't really waste my

time with time wasters. dillian is a very credible, solid opponent. aside from what everyone calls a rivalry, i have to have an underlying respect for every man that steps in the ring and i have that which is also going to make me raise my game. moment of the day yesterday though goes to this guy. wait for it... a tennis fan, just off to the left of our screen, as the ball flies off a players racket, managed to catch it in his glass. look at that, absolutely nailed it! real talent. look at that, absolutely nailed it! realtalent. i look at that, absolutely nailed it! real talent. i think you could do that at the tennis, not sure you could do that at the cricket. ouch! you would — could do that at the cricket. ouch! you would be _ could do that at the cricket. ouch! you would be wearing _ could do that at the cricket. ouch! you would be wearing your - could do that at the cricket. ouch! you would be wearing your drink. | could do that at the cricket. ouch! i you would be wearing your drink. he: did well. you would be wearing your drink. he did well. great _ you would be wearing your drink. he did well. great skills. _ you would be wearing your drink. he did well. great skills. i _ you would be wearing your drink. he did well. great skills. i wonder- you would be wearing your drink. he did well. great skills. i wonder if- did well. great skills. i wonder if he lets a

this rain clears away from the south—east this morning. variable cloud, showers merging to give longer spells of rain, and any of them could turn out to be thundery in nature. an awful lot of us will catch some showers, some sunshine there, and it will be another breezy day. temperatures ranging from 15 in the north to 22 or 23 as we push further south. the north to 22 or 23 as we push furthersouth. for the north to 22 or 23 as we push further south. for wimbledon today, we cannot rule out a shower, but there will be quite a lot of dry weather and again variable cloud with blue skies popping through from time to time. still breezy rather like yesterday with eyes up to 23 degrees. into the evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade in england and wales but a weather front fade in england and wales but a weatherfront in north fade in england and wales but a weather front in north scotland produces some rain, and another weather front produces some rain, and another weatherfront coming in produces some rain, and another weather front coming in from the rest producing some showers. still breezy night but fresher for some,

compared to last night. overnight lows between 11 and 14 degrees. as we head through the course of tomorrow, we can see the weather pattern is dominated by low pressure, and even into the next few days, we will have no pressure nearby. thursday, we have a ridge of high pressure coming in which will mean fewer showers. on wednesday is a showery picture we are looking at, cloud and rain which could turn thundery across the far north of scotland. scotland has a mixture of sunshine, bright spells and showers, and still breezy. 16 to 21 degrees. we have got a high pressure ridge building on thursday so we will start with some showers in the north and west, but through the day we will have many showers fading and becoming more isolated in nature. and on thursday it will not be as

breezy as today and tomorrow. so, temperatures 14 in the north to 23 as we push further south. talking of the end of the week, on friday we have another area of low pressure coming our way. the wind is also going to pick up and we will have some rain especially in western areas. could stay drier in the east for longer. then we can see the unsettled theme, it will still be windy, wet as well. the wind will be a feature this weekend. looking at the chart and wondering what the organisers of wimbledon will know by the weekend. bi; what the organisers of wimbledon will know by the weekend.- will know by the weekend. by the weekend it _ will know by the weekend. by the weekend it will _ will know by the weekend. by the weekend it will have _ will know by the weekend. by the weekend it will have the - will know by the weekend. by the weekend it will have the covered | weekend it will have the covered courts in play which will help towards the finals. that will be a real boon. towards the finals. that will be a real boon-— towards the finals. that will be a real boon. lots of brollies will be needed at _ real boon. lots of brollies will be needed at wimbledon. _ for 13—year—old chapman, being blind and having complex disabilities hasn't stopped him from excelling at playing the piano.

but he has always struggled with making friends. through a buddy scheme set up by the disability charity sense, chapman has been playing with fellow musician gabriella online. now, they've met up in person for the first time and our reporter fiona lamdin was there. unbelievably, chapman is just 13. all these thousands of notes are in his memory. he's blind, so he's unable to read music, so instead listens and then plays what he hears. chapman started playing when he was just six. one day we took him to disneyland and then coming back home we have this small toy piano at home, he started to type on the piano and started to play

the piece that he heard. passing grade eight with distinction when he was ten. but due to his complex needs, chapman has found it hard making friends. we feel lonely for him because he doesn't have friends. so it's always him and parents, we are always being with him. he's always happy, though. but he couldn't make friends like the other children they can make friends from the park. and research from the charity sense has found people with complex disabilities are twice as likely to be lonely than non—disabled people. hello! hello. who's that? do you recognise my voice? so chapman has been matched with gabby in the hope of changing this. what's my name? gabriella. this is the first time they've met in person. up to now, it's always been online. he used to be very shy,

you know, even sitting in the conversation with other people, he can sit there for hours without saying a word. but learning progress for him, he's started, you know, being very talkative. did you do cooking this week? yeah. i like to hear what it is that he... because before he was really like taking a back seat in the calls and it was just trying to warm him up and see what he does want to talk to me about and what he does want to do with me and give me any clues as to what i can prepare and what i can arrange for us to do, so that it's actually entertaining for him and something that he wants to do. and chapman has inspired gabby to start playing her flute again. she gave up eight years ago.

what's it like, actually, to be in the same room playing together? it sounds really nice. it's a lot better and really annoyingly sometimes on the ipad, like i can't hear every single note, so our cues aren't always together. what's it like for you, chapman? um... is it strange to have someone in the room playing alongside you? yeah. is it good? yeah. do i need to practice to be able to play with you? yeah. yeah, he's like, you need to practice! the power of music. what a difference _ the power of music. what a difference it _ the power of music. what a difference it makes - the power of music. what a difference it makes a - the power of music. what a difference it makes a a - the power of music. what a - difference it makes a a talented boy. there's been a significant spike in the number of people seeking advice for insect bites, according to nhs england. more than a quarter of a million visits were made to the nhs insect bites and stings page injune, almost triple the number for that same period last year. there was a particular increase

in searches in the week betweenjune 12th and june 18th when many parts of the uk experienced extreme weather, from heatwaves to thunderstorms and flash flooding. during that week there were more than 90,000 views on the page, that's the equivalent of about one every seven seconds. to get some advice on what you can do if you're suffering with stings and bites, we're nowjoined by pharmacist, thorrun govind. good morning. good morning. though those figures — good morning. good morning. though those figures reflect _ good morning. good morning. though those figures reflect what _ good morning. good morning. though those figures reflect what you - good morning. good morning. though those figures reflect what you are - those figures reflect what you are seeing in the pharmacy with people coming for help? we seeing in the pharmacy with people coming for help?— coming for help? we have got lots cominu coming for help? we have got lots coming in. — coming for help? we have got lots coming in. all— coming for help? we have got lots coming in, all sorts, _ coming for help? we have got lots coming in, all sorts, we _ coming for help? we have got lots coming in, all sorts, we have - coming in, all sorts, we have consultation room in the pharmacy so people come in and say, can you look at this bite? the advice is, that we can focus on prevention. we love perfume but that attract insects and fortunately because they are attracted to all of the beautiful sense. i attracted to all of the beautiful

officers from pentonville prison. campaigners say the 28 units, which have been empty for a decade, could help tackle the shortage of housing in the borough. the ministry ofjustice they're looking at options to get value for taxpayers after a planning applicationj was refused. the government didn't make a full planning application. they applied for a certificate of lawfulness. if the government would make a full planning application, and i would encourage them to do so, then under our tough planning regulations, 50% of these homes would have to be genuinely affordable homes. i would encourage the government to make a planning application. londoners are being asked to consider creating watery havens for wildlife in their gardens. the wildfowl and wetlands trust has created a guide to help people become create a mini—wetland that will encourage frogs, dragonflies and even bats into gardens. let's take a look at how

the tube is running at this time of the morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. staying rather unsettled across the capital as we head through the rest of this week so some more showers, some longer spells of rain around at times, and it's quite a wet start to the morning for many of us. it's mild and it's muggy out there too. it will be a slowly improving picture as the day goes on, so the rain will peter out. the front is gradually pushing its way southwards and eastwards, and there could still be a few light patches of rain as we head through the afternoon, maybe one or two showers. plenty of cloud but also some brighter spells developing at times. we will see temperatures peak in the best of the brightness at around 21, 22 celsius so generally cooler than it was yesterday. the winds are also a little lighter. this evening and overnight, it does look dry with lots of long clear spells. this is how we start the day on wednesday. on wednesday, low pressure still dominating. there will be some more showers springing up here and there, but also some sunny spells. temperatures are a little higher.

it looks largely dry on thursday. that's it from me. more on bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today. a lawyer acting on behalf of the young person at the centre of the bbc presenter scandal says claims made in the sun are rubbish, saying nothing inappropriate or unlawful took place. the sun says it stands by its story, and in the paper this morning the young person's parents accuse the bbc of lying about their original complaint. nato leaders gather in lithuania, with ukraine's membership and defence

spending on the agenda. a review of baby deaths at hospitals in nottingham is expected to uncover the biggest maternity care scandal in nhs history. figures out in the next few minutes are expected to show more people taking up second jobs, as wages fail to keep up with rising prices. good morning. rain clearing the south—east. behind it, bright spells, sunshine and showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. a breezy day. details later. good morning. the parents of a young person at the heart of allegations against a bbc presenter are standing by their account, according the sun newspaper, after a lawyer representing the individual said their claims were rubbish. the newspaper first reported last week,

that the unnamed presenter had allegedly paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos. charlotte gallagher has the latest. after days of damaging headlines, allegations and rumours, this story of a bbc presenter allegedly paying thousands for sexually explicit images is still dominating front pages. now a statement on behalf of the young person at the centre of this. they've called the allegations, by their mother, rubbish. their lawyer says, "nothing inappropriate nor unlawful has taken place between our client and the bbc personality", adding the young person sent a denial to the sun on friday evening via whatsapp. but the sun proceeded to publish what they call an inappropriate article. in an interview splashed on the paper's front page this morning, the young person's parents say they stand by their account, claiming the presenter has got

into their loved one's head. they also accuse the bbc of lying, and claim they spent an hour telling the corporation about the allegations in may. this appears to contradict a previous statement, which said the family say no one from the corporation rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint. there is still so much we don't know. bbc news has not seen the evidence the sun newspaper says it has. is this about an abuse of power and trust? a scandal at the bbc? a scandal in tabloid journalism? or none of these? it was almost two months between the first complaint and the presenter�*s suspension. many have questions over why that took such a long time. on the face of it you would think that there were enough red flags in that information without knowing

exactly what it was on the 19th of may, to have escalated this up the chain of command, to prevent the situation that we're in now. yesterday, the bbc met with the metropolitan police. officers are now making inquiries as to whether there is evidence of a criminal offence, but say there is no investigation at this time. until it is clearer, until we have a greater knowledge from possibly the police, the bbc itself, the alleged victim, or the victim's mother in this case, it's very hard to know exactly what we're criticising the bbc for. today, the bbc director—general, tim davie, is due to speak to journalists about the bbc�*s annual report. but the event is likely to be dominated by this developing crisis. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we're joined now by lizo mzimba.

lizo, we've heard these two conflicting statements. where does this leave the situation this morning? yes, an extraordinary few hours in an extraordinary few days. we have different people's i cans filled with allegations and now, quite frankly, confusion. —— accounts. the crucial thing of the centre of this is the question, has there been an impact on the welfare of a child? the most damaging and concerning allegations have come from the mother of the young individual through the sun newspaper, when they say the well—known bbc presenter paid more than £35,000 in return for a sexually explicit images of them. they say that began when the young individual was 17 years old and legally still a child. now, that has been disputed in a letter from the lawyer representing the young individual in question, who is now 20. they say they are adamant that

nothing inappropriate, or unlawful, has taken place between their client of the bbc personality. the allegations reported in the sun newspaper are rubbish, they say. the sun has responded by saying... "we have reported a story about two very concerned parents who made a complaint to the bbc about the behaviour of a presenter and the welfare of a child. their complaint was not acted upon by the bbc. we have seen evidence that supports their concerns. the situation is far from clear. the situation is farfrom clear. we have the reputation of the unnamed presenter, the role of the bbc, the potential welfare of a child, and we don't have clarity right now on any of those issues.— don't have clarity right now on any of those issues. later this morning the bbc director _ of those issues. later this morning the bbc director general, - of those issues. later this morning the bbc director general, tim - of those issues. later this morning i the bbc director general, tim davie, will facejournalists? the bbc director general, tim davie, will face journalists?— will face “ournalists? yes, this is for the will face journalists? yes, this is for the annual _ will face journalists? yes, this is for the annual report, _ will face journalists? yes, this is for the annual report, which - will face journalists? yes, this is for the annual report, which wasi will face journalists? yes, this is i for the annual report, which was in the diary before this started coming to light. there are two big questions for the bbc to answer. what it has been doing behind the scenes. but also, how transparent should the bbc have been over the last few days when something like

this is causing such public concern? for now, thank you. lizo mzimba. that is the main story. sally has got the rest of the news. nato leaders will meet in lithuania today, with ukraine's potential membership on the agenda. james landale is in vilnius for us this morning. james, rishi sunak is also expected to call on nato allies to invest more in defence? yeah, that is right. the whole aim of this summit is to put on a show of this summit is to put on a show of unity and resolve, to send a signal to russia that the western alliance remains determined to support ukraine in the long term. there will be discussion about long—term security guarantees for ukraine. there will be discussions about bringing nature institutions a bit closer to ukraine. and also, some kind of language setting out the path for ukraine to join the alliance ultimately. there is some

disagreement over that. it is hoped they will read some form of language ijy they will read some form of language by the end of it. underneath all of thatis by the end of it. underneath all of that is a little niggle over how much defence spending nato allies have been making. they have a target of spending about 2% of the national wealth on defence. at the moment though, only seven out of 31 members actually meet that target. rishi sunak wants that notjust actually meet that target. rishi sunak wants that not just to actually meet that target. rishi sunak wants that notjust to be an ambition but a basic minimum of how much they have spent. that is the drum he would be banging today. but all eyes are going to be on the key meeting between president biden of america and president zelensky of ukraine when they get together at the summit to work outjust what sort of language is agreed over bringing ukraine ultimately into this alliance. ukraine wants it to be fast tracked. the eastern european countries wanted to be fast tracked. but the americans are cautious. they don't want to make it automatic because they don't want to give russia a preserved —— perverse

incentive to drag this war out, to delay ukraine becoming a member. thank you. a teenage boy is being questioned on suspicion of the attempted murder of a teacher, who was stabbed at a school in tewkesbury, yesterday morning. the male teacher was taken to hospital with a single wound, and has since been discharged. tewkesbury academy says it will reopen today. mortgage lenders will be questioned by mps this morning, about the rising costs facing homeowners. average rates on a two—year fixed deal could exceed the level seen after liz truss' mini—budget, latertoday. the average interest rate on a deal is currently at 6.63%. a court case has begun in the united states, aiming to resolve a dispute over aretha franklin's estate. the singer died in 2018, and three of her four sons are now contesting how her multi—million pound fortune should be shared, after several different handwritten wills were found in her home. health leaders in england have warned that the bitter row over pay between unions and the government risks breaking the fundamental

relationship between the nhs and its staff. vincent mcaviney reports. for months, various nhs unions have led staff across the service out on strikes. nurses, junior doctors, radiographers and midwives have all felt the need to walk out of wards over pay and conditions. with the health system already struggling with pandemic backlogs, more than 100 chief executives and chairs and nhs trusts have now issued a warning over their deep concerns of the lasting legacy of these strikes. every time we see a strike it makes it more difficult to recover from, and we are seeing, of course, an ongoing impact on patients and the services they receive. and also, an ongoing impact on staff themselves affected by the industrial action. in england, consultants, the most

senior and specialist doctors, are set to strike for the first time over two days next week, in the wake ofjunior doctors staging the largest ever walk out in the nhs' history this week. nhs providers, which represents trust, has called for 11th hour talks to end the disruption. a department of health and social care spokesperson said... but with nhs staff in scotland having successfully negotiated acceptable pay rises, unions in england, who have enjoyed broad public support thus far, are determined to win the same from the government here. vincent macaviney, bbc news. it is 11 minutes past seven. let's get the weather from carol. she it is 11 minutes past seven. let's get the weatherfrom carol. she is already on the beach!

good morning. if only! and if only the sun was shining on that beach, because today once again we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of these showers will be heavy and thundery. still some rain to clear the south—east. but that rain is lighter in nature. it will clear in the next wee while. a lot of showers. rain in the north of scotland. some of that will be heavy and potentially thundery through the day as it will across central scotland. showers in northern ireland, northern ireland, wales and the south—west. some of them heading off in the direction of the south—east. it is not a goal start. in fact, it is quite a moggy starred in the south—east of england. behind that rain you can see the showers developing. some of them heavy and thundery. not all of us will catch one. they are fairly hit and miss. sunny skies as my cloudy skies in between. temperatures 15 to 23

degrees. quite breezy. rather like it was yesterday. heading through this evening and overnight any of the showers in england and wales will tend to clear. we have a weather front coming into west, bringing in further showers the west. more rain in the north of scotland. another breezy night, but fresher than it was last night in the south. tomorrow we start off with the rain in the north of scotland. the showers in the west drift over towards the east as we go through the course of the day. interspersed with a bright cuts —— bright skies and some sunshine. another breezy day with highs of 15 to 21 degrees. if you are going to the beach, take your to 21 degrees. if you are going to the beach, take your belly to 21 degrees. if you are going to the beach, take your belly with to 21 degrees. if you are going to the beach, take your belly with you. carol, thank you. —— take your brolly with you. in the last couple of minutes, the latest employment figures have been released. ben's here with the details. what can you tell us? well, on the face of it, average pay is going up. the figures show between march and may, compared with a year earlier,

average wages, including —— excluding bonuses, went up by 7.3%. the highest rate of increase for 20 years if you exclude the period of the pandemic. on the face of that sounds great. but people are not feeling 7.3% better off of course, although wages are rising, so are average prices. inflation is a .7%. so, because wages are not keeping up with that, people's pay is not keeping up with what they are spending money on. things like food, fuel, energy bills. so, in real terms, once you factor in inflation, wages fell by 0.8%. so, this is the latest snapshot of jobs and wages fell by 0.8%. so, this is the latest snapshot ofjobs and wages in the uk. another key figure we look at is unemployment. that takes up slightly. it is now standing at 4%. but this is all in the context of what the governor of the bank of

england, and the government are trying to do. which is due to control the increase in average prices. that is why we have seen interest rates go up. they are now 5%. the bank is trying to bring inflation back to the target of 2%. and the reason this will be looked at so closely, we have seen strikes, protests over pay, and the love of people in the public sector seen their wages are not going up like private sector wages, so the government would be looking at this really closely and seeing what is a fair pay deal?— really closely and seeing what is a fair pay deal? yeah. also to people will be poring _ fair pay deal? yeah. also to people will be poring over _ fair pay deal? yeah. also to people will be poring over these _ fair pay deal? yeah. also to people will be poring over these figures. i will be poring over these figures. some people will be watching thinking, goodness, 7.3%, dance will be a fine thing. some people got pay rises more than that, some far below. —— goodness me, that is a fine thing. they will look at regulations from the pay review body. as i say, more detail on these figures later. body. as i say, more detail on these figures later-—

a review into maternity care failings in hospitals in nottingham, will be the largest ever carried out in the uk. 1,700 family cases stretching back more than a decade will be examined, after dozens of babies died or were seriously injured at the city's two maternity units. donna ockenden — the inquiry�*s chair — has promised to do all she can to make sure no one else suffers the same harm, as rob sissons reports. nottingham's two nhs maternity units. what's gone so badly wrong? at their annual public meeting, an admission from the hospital trust. harmed families shouldn't have had to fight to be heard when so often they faced a brick wall. let me be very clear that as the public record shows, this is an area where we have failed the families and communities that we exist to serve. to make matters worse, having failed them, we have too often worsened things by not

responding to them appropriately. i am sarah hawkins, my daughter harriet... ..died in 2016. her death was completely preventable. families spoke up about their catastrophic loss and injury. jack and sarah hawkins' daughter harriet would be seven years old now if only she'd received adequate care. for seven and a half years, we have just been fighting to be heard. so for them to say that they're going to take an open and honest approach is incredible, really. whether that happens is yet to be seen. but i do think it's a step in the right direction to get maternity safe again. sarah and gary andrews' daughter winter died 23 minutes after being born in 2019, following a catalogue of failings and neglect at the queen's medical centre in nottingham. in january they were in court to hear the hospital trust fined

£800,000 after a rare prosecution brought by the care quality commission. they stressed the hospital bosses' pledges need to be backed up with action. i think doing this in such a public forum that they want to make that kind of pledge and promise about transparent, being open, honest and transparent is refreshing. first, a measure of that would be on the actions that now follow. it's incredibly difficult to listen to that. any time we are faced with meetings and meeting the trust it is really difficult for us, but we do feel kind of refreshed that hopefully change will be happening. kim gave birth to her daughter alfreda almost two years after she lost her son teddy when he was a day old. an inquest heard there were undoubted failings by health workers involved in teddy's care. kim says managers need to understand the scale of the harm done.

it's huge, it's sickening, it's devastating. it's something that if you've not gone through it, you cannot imagine it. so i'm really pleased that some of the staff of the trust got to hear it first—hand today. but that's a snippet. you know, that is a drop in the ocean to what we families have been going through. donna ockendon began her review into nottingham's maternity services in september of last year after dozens of baby deaths and injuries between 2010 and 2020. she confirmed that 1,700 cases would be examined, making this the biggest inquiry of its kind in the uk. instead of families opting in, they will now be included in the review unless they opt out. i'd like to give my promise again to the families of nottinghamshire that this review will be carried out with kindness, with compassion, with expertise and in the most timely way possible. we will leave behind a better, safer and more inclusive maternity service.

the trust says it will work on a lengthy apology it hopes families will find meaningful. it's also publicly stated there has to be accountability. rob sissons, bbc news, nottingham. we're joined now by sarah and jack hawkins, who've been campaigning for a review into the trust since the death of their daughter harriet in 2016, and clinical negligence lawyer, stephenjones. jack and sarah, if i can come to you first of all, we have seen your story there in the film that we have just watched and it has taken a long time to get here. what are you hoping can come next?- time to get here. what are you hoping can come next? well, firstly, we're really — hoping can come next? well, firstly, we're really thankful _ hoping can come next? well, firstly, we're really thankful that _ hoping can come next? well, firstly, we're really thankful that they've - we're really thankful that they've agreed to this new relationship. what we really want is action though. because you can say these

coming up in the next half hour... the world's largest classical music festival, the bbc proms, returns on friday night, kicking off eight weeks of events. we'll be joined by one of the hosts, bbc presenter clive myrie, at ten to eight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. police are continuing to look for a man who went missing from hospital midway through treatment almost a week ago. mohammed mboob dissappeared from enfield. police say they believe he attends music studios and has links to brent cross, hackney and bromley. the force say he should not be

approached by members of the public, particularly women. london city airport's plans to expand the number of passengers and fights has been rejected by newham council's planning and flights has been rejected by newham council's planning committee over concerns about noise pollution. the airport wanted to?extend its flights until 6.30 on saturdays instead of 1pm as well as other changes. the proposals were part of its plans to increase passengers numbers from six and a half million to nine million. airport bosses said the plans would have created localjobs and benefit businesses. the government is being urged to come up with a plan about the future of a derelict block of flats that used to house prison officers from pentonville prison. campaigners say the 28 units which have been empty for a decade could help tackle the shortage of housing in the borough. the ministry ofjustice they're looking at options to get value for taxpayers after a planning application was refused. the government didn't make a full planning application. they applied for a

certificate of lawfulness. if the government would make a full planning application, and i would encourage them to do so, then under our tough planning regulations, 50% of these homes would have to be genuinely affordable homes. i would encourage the government to make a planning application. londoners are being asked to consider creating watery havens for wildlife in their gardens. the wildfowl and wetlands trust has created a guide to help people create mini—wetlands that would encourage frogs, dragonflies and even bats. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. the northern line is has severe delays but otherwise there's a good service on the rest of the network. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. staying rather unsettled across the capital as we head through the rest of this week so some more showers, some longer spells of rain around at times, and it's quite a wet start to the morning for many of us. it's mild and it's muggy out there too. it will be a slowly improving picture as the day goes on,

so the rain will peter out. the front is gradually pushing its way southwards and eastwards, and there could still be a few light patches of rain as we head through the afternoon, maybe one or two showers. plenty of cloud but also some brighter spells developing at times. we will see temperatures peak in the best of the brightness at around 21, 22 celsius so generally cooler than it was yesterday. the winds are also a little lighter. this evening and overnight, it does look dry with lots of long clear spells. this is how we start the day on wednesday. on wednesday, low pressure still dominating. there will be some more showers springing up here and there, but also some sunny spells. temperatures are a little higher. it looks largely dry on thursday. that's it from me, more on bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. but for now let's go back to sally and ben.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. lawyers representing the young person at the centre of the allegations against a bbc presenter have disputed their mother's account of events. the story emerged when the sun newspaper reported that the unnamed presenter was alleged to have paid someone for sexually explicit photos. we can discuss these latest developments now with media lawyer mark stephens. good morning. talk to us about the legal issues here about naming the presenter at the centre of this dispute. well, the intent —— presenter is entitled to privacy. you will remember that sir cliff richard had a raid on his home and need of legal proceedings about that. and the judge said from july 2018 in that case was decided that from then on, if someone was a suspect but there was no investigation, no charge, then they had a reasonable

expectation of privacy. and the rationale for that is quite sensible, because nobody actually has all of the facts at that particular point, that very early stage. in this particular case we have got differing accounts from the mother and stepfather on one hand, the young individual on another, and of course the presenter as well. and there was a consequence of that, until we know where the facts are, it's probably unhelpful to conjecture, particularly whilst people are gathering information and data on which life changing decisions can be made. thud data on which life changing decisions can be made. and that issue of facts _ decisions can be made. and that issue of facts is _ decisions can be made. and that issue of facts is an _ decisions can be made. and that issue of facts is an important i decisions can be made. and that i issue of facts is an important one, to —— there are two disputed accounts one blaming another. and accounts one blaming another. and it's important _ accounts one blaming another. situc it's important to recognise accounts one blaming another. a"ic it's important to recognise that out of that, we have this young individual who retained lawyers, and has denied that anything illegal took place. of course yesterday the police made an announcement which

was that they didn't even have enough to start an investigation, let alone bring charges. so there is quite a long way to go yet. it does appear that even the police don't think that there is an obvious criminal offence having been committed. and of course that reduces any public interest in naming the presenter. and reduces any public interest in naming the presenter. and what does this do in terms _ naming the presenter. and what does this do in terms of— naming the presenter. and what does this do in terms of putting i naming the presenter. and what does this do in terms of putting the i this do in terms of putting the focus back on macro newspaper? one would assume, to present some evidence if that exists —— the focus back on the sun newspaper? the arents back on the sun newspaper? the parents can _ back on the sun newspaper? the parents can be — back on the sun newspaper? i"ie: parents can be concerned, back on the sun newspaper? t"ia: parents can be concerned, there is an issue —— legitimate public interest into with the parents expressing concern with their offspring but in this case the individual in the case is 20 years old and can make their own choices. we do see in the law quite often pet families do split and divide over different issues, and of course it is the young individual�*s decision had to take this forward. we have

seen that they have employed their own lawyers who have made it clear, both they say to the sun and to the bbc that there is nothing to see here, no criminality, no wrongdoing, and in those circumstances, it's difficult to see where the sun takes this now. it difficult to see where the sun takes this now. , , ., ., this now. it seems that over the weekend, _ this now. it seems that over the weekend, there i this now. it seems that over the weekend, there were i this now. it seems that over the weekend, there were two i this now. it seems that over the i weekend, there were two elements to this, the allegations themselves and then the way that the bbc had handled this. and the more we learn, we get a sense that those two are very linked because perhaps the bbc�*s response is based on that perhaps lack of evidence. yes. bbc's response is based on that perhaps lack of evidence.- perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i think that _ perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i think that there i perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i think that there will i perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i think that there will be i perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i think that there will be an i perhaps lack of evidence. yes, i l think that there will be an inquiry from tim davie, the director—general of the bbc, into how this happened. that is of course one has to remember that in the situations where you are talking about a staff member, whether that is at the bbc, the office or the factory, the individual is entitled to have under employment law allegation the

allegations confidentially investigated. dynamic and we also have the layer into this dynamic is the fact that all sorts of wild allegations about are deposited at the bbc's door about that our presenters, so i don't know how you what —— so how do you figure that out going forward? what -- so how do you figure that out going forward?— out going forward? what is your assessment _ out going forward? what is your assessment of i out going forward? what is your assessment of what i out going forward? what is your assessment of what is i out going forward? what is your assessment of what is going i out going forward? what is your assessment of what is going to l assessment of what is going to happen next with there will be an investigation, it has to be careful and thorough, and then we decide there have been any employment problems. see if they do the bbc has set aside if the police. a criminal investigation or any criminal investigation or any criminal investigation would go on because of course you don't want hr professionals trampling through the evidence field are gathering statements and things in a way which would be markets and

it is pretty terrifying coming out on centre court at wimbledon. it has been my dream since five years old.

london city airport's plans to expand the number of passengers and fights has been rejected by newham council's planning committee over concerns about noise pollution. the airport wanted to?extend its flights until 6.30 on saturdays instead of 1pm as well as other changes. the proposals were part of its plans to increase passengers numbers from 6.5 million to nine million. airport bosses said the plans would have created localjobs and benefit businesses. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. the northern line is has severe delays, but otherwise there's a good service on the rest of the network. today's weather. it will start unsettled and wet. but it should clear up to leave a sunny day, with the chance of the odd shower, too temperature of 23 degrees. that's it from me. more on bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour. but for now, let's go back to sally and ben.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. our headlines today. a lawyer acting on behalf of the young person at the centre of the bbc presenter scandal says claims made in the sun are rubbish, saying nothing inappropriate or unlawful took place. the sun says it stands by its story. the sun says it stands by its story. the young person's parents accuse the bbc of lying about their original complaint. nato leaders gather in lithuania with ukraine's membership and defence spending top of the agenda. a warning that the row over pay in the health service risks breaking the health service risks breaking the fundamental relationship between the fundamental relationship between the nhs and its staff. new figures show wages have increased but they are still failing to keep up with rising prices. i will be looking at why inflation is leaving us all worse off. in sport, we could be heading towards a huge final showdown at wimbledon as the men's world number one carlos alcaraz, and defending champion novak djokovic, both reach

the quarterfinals. from hometown hero to injury hell and a bittersweet trouble, the ups and a bittersweet trouble, the ups and downs of premier league life are laid bare in kalvin phillips' new documentary. he is with us just after half past eight. good morning. today is another day of bright spells, sunshine and showers, some of the showers are emerging to give longer spells of rain and be heavy and thundery. once again it is going to bea be a breezy day. details later in the programme. good morning. our main story. the parents of a young person at the heart of allegations against a bbc presenter are standing by their account, according the sun newspaper — after a lawyer representing the individual said their claims were "rubbish". the newspaper first reported last week, that the unnamed presenter had allegedly paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos. our correspondent charlotte gallagher has the latest.

after days of damaging headlines, allegations and rumours, this story of a bbc presenter allegedly paying thousands for sexually explicit images is still dominating front pages. now a statement on behalf of the young person at the centre of this. after days of damaging headlines, allegations and rumours, this story of a bbc presenter allegedly paying thousands for sexually they've called the allegations, by their mother, rubbish. their lawyer says, "nothing inappropriate nor unlawful has taken place between our client and the bbc personality", adding the young person sent a denial to the sun on friday evening via whatsapp. but the sun proceeded to publish what they call an inappropriate article. in an interview splashed on the paper's front page this morning, the young person's parents say they stand by their account, claiming the presenter has got into their loved one's head. they also accuse the bbc of lying, and claim they spent an hour telling the corporation

about the allegations in may. this appears to contradict a previous statement, which said the family say no one from the corporation rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint. there is still so much we don't know. bbc news has not seen the evidence the sun newspaper says it has. is this about an abuse of power and trust? a scandal at the bbc? a scandal in tabloid journalism? or none of these? it was almost two months between the first complaint and the presenter�*s suspension. many have questions over why that took such a long time. on the face of it you would think that there were enough red flags in that information without knowing exactly what it was on the 19th of may, to have escalated this up the chain of command, to prevent the situation that we're in now. yesterday, the bbc met

with the metropolitan police. officers are now making inquiries as to whether there is evidence of a criminal offence, but say there is no investigation at this time. until it is clearer, until we have a greater knowledge from possibly the police, the bbc itself, the alleged victim, or the victim's mother in this case, it's very hard to know exactly what we're criticising the bbc for. today, the bbc director—general, tim davie, is due to speak to journalists about the bbc's annual report. but the event is likely to be dominated by this developing crisis. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we will speak more about this with our culture editor at half past eight, about 25 minutes. that is the top story. let's get all the other main stories with sally.

health leaders in england have warned that the bitter row over pay between unions and the government risks "breaking the fundamental relationship between the nhs and its staff". vincent mcaviney reports. for months, various nhs unions have led staff across the service out on strikes. nurses, junior doctors, radiographers and midwives have all felt the need to walk out of wards over pay and conditions. with the health system already struggling with pandemic backlogs, more than 100 chief executives and chairs and nhs trusts have now issued a warning over their deep concerns of the lasting legacy of these strikes. every time we see a strike it makes it more difficult to recover from, and we are seeing, of course, an ongoing impact on patients and the services they receive. and also, an ongoing impact on staff themselves affected by the industrial action. in england, consultants, the most senior and specialist doctors,

are set to strike for the first time over two days next week, in the wake ofjunior doctors staging the largest ever walk out in the nhs' history this week. nhs providers, which represents trust, has called for 11th hour talks to end the disruption. a department of health and social care spokesperson said... but with nhs staff in scotland having successfully negotiated acceptable pay rises, unions in england have enjoyed broad public support thus far. they are determined to win the same from the government here. vincent macaviney, bbc news. a teenage boy is being questioned on suspicion of the attempted murder of a teacher, who was stabbed at a school in tewkesbury, yesterday morning.

the male teacher was taken to hospital with a single wound, and has since been discharged. tewkesbury academy says it will reopen today. mortgage lenders will be questioned by mps this morning, about the rising costs facing homeowners. average rates on a two—year fixed deal could exceed the level seen after liz truss' mini—budget later today. the average interest rate on a deal is currently at 6.63%. a court case has begun in the united states, aiming to resolve a dispute over aretha franklin's estate. the singer died in 2018 and three of her four sons are now contesting how her multi—million pound fortune should be shared after several different handwritten wills were found in her home. drivers on the london underground will strike on two days later this month, in their ongoing dispute over pay and working conditions. the action by the aslef union, will take place onjuly 26th and 28th and will coincide with other planned walkouts

on the rail network. transport for london say they are urging the union to resolve the dispute. streams of lava are pouring into a valley in south eastern iceland, as the country's latest volcanic eruption continues. it's the second time in less than a year that the volcano, which is around 20 miles away from the capital reykjavik, has erupted. so far, there has been no damage or disruption — despite being close to a major airport. apologies to anybody familiar with that volcano if i got the name of it ever so slightly wrong. can i make you say it again? ! how does it go? those pictures are incredible. it gives you a sense of the power of those things.

yeah. nobody has been hard and so far no disruption. even though it is close to the airport. we know with previous eruptions the problem with the last icelandic volcano, stopped flights. yes, the ash cloud. we will keep an eye on what is happening. the second time in less than a year than it has erupted. let's check what it looks like a little closer to home. carol is the weather. good morning. good morning. it is a right old mess of weather this week. low pressure is firmly in charge. and the date is going to be a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. lovely sky here in staffordshire this morning. but it has been so wet in the last 24 hours for many of us. this morning's rain from the south—east has cleared. what he will find as we are looking at that mixture of sunshine and showers, or bright spells. at times the cloud will come across. showers merging to give longer spells of rain. be surprised if you hear the

odd rumble of thunder. you can see how scatty the showers are. in central and northern scotland we are likely to see heavier bursts and again, some will be heavy and thundery. temperatures today ranging from 15 in the north to about 23, as we push down towards the south. through this evening and overnight a lot of the showers across england and wales will fade. we have got a new weather front coming in. you and wales will fade. we have got a new weatherfront coming in. you can just make it out here. that is going to produce showers. we will continue with the rain across the north of scotland and like today, tonight is also going to be breezy. it is not going to be as humid in the south as it is today. tomorrow we start with some sunshine. the front in the west is going to move over towards the east through the day. again, bringing some showers. at the same time we have got rain in the north of scotland. some of that is likely to be heavy. another breezy day in prospect. temperatures 16 to 22 degrees. as we head into thursday, a ridge of high pressure starts to build across us.

away from scotland, the showers won't be as plentiful and they won't be as heavy and it won't be as breezy either. thank you. a former royal marines commando has decided to sell his gallantry medal, to help build a retreat for armed forces veterans. brad malone — known as bugsy — was awarded the second highest military honour — the conspicuous gallantry cross in 2009, for his bravery during tours in afghanistan. brad is here with us now. nice to see. so, explain a little bit. amazing to be awarded this medal. why are you selling it? it sort of dawned on us when i was at a friend's funeral, who died from suicide. i was there, i seen his little boy, the same age as my little boy, the same age as my little girl, and ijust thought, something has to change. we have to do something positive to have guys

among leaders for a long time is that conventional warfare, where you need artillery shells and tanks and armoured vehicles, that is gone. there has been a realfocus on counterinsurgency in iraq, afghanistan. but russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine has changed all that. of course, the west, the nato military alliance, has said to ukraine, we have got your back, we are not going to go with our soldiers to defend you, but we will sound you military aid, humanitarian aid, to help you in yourfight. but the truth is, europe is running out of weapons and military aid to send to ukraine because we are not producing it fast enough. rishi sunak will announce the uk is going to massively invest in the production of nato great artillery shells and he is going to call and other leaders as well to increase their defence spending. and also, to invest more in conventional weapons, to help ukraine for the medium and

long term, if necessary, but also to make sure that european countries have enough to defend themselves as well if they needed. and that is the shadow over all of these two day summit here. the feeling that if russia is victorious in ukraine, that will be dangerous for all of europe and create instability for the whole continent, and maybe wet the whole continent, and maybe wet the russian president's appetite to invade another country in europe. thank you very much. katya adler live in vilnius for us this morning. the time is 18 minutes past eight. earlier this morning the latest employment figures were released. ben's here with the details. we will be looking closely at these because not only do they tell us the unemployment rate, but crucially how much people are being paid? yes. and that fi . ure much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on — much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on its _ much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on its own _ much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on its own does _ much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on its own does not - much people are being paid? yes. and that figure on its own does not give - that figure on its own does not give the full picture because you have to accept that against average prices, the things people spend their wages

on, and what it reveals, very interesting indeed. let me talk you through the details. these figures are always watched closely because they affect other big key economic decisions, things like interest rates, for example. as we heard, the government released its latest age ofjust government released its latest age of just over government released its latest age ofjust over an hour ago and the figures show that uk wages rose by an average of 7.3%. so, average wage rises in the march to may period was 7.3%. that is the fastest rate in 20 years outside the pandemic. crucially, though, that figure is still below this figure, which is the rate of inflation. it is currently stuck at 8.7%. that means wages just aren't keeping up with increased costs for things like fuel, energy bills and fuel. in real terms people are on average worse off. the bank of england is well aware of that and is trying to bring inflation under control by raising interest rates. they are currently at 5%. the idea is you make

borrowing more expensive, that encourages us to spend less and save more. and it has warned that big pay rises risked fuelling further price rises. now all of this comes while some people, like teachers and nhs workers, have been striking about below inflation pay rises. public sector salaries are recommended by pay review bodies and it is expected they will publish the latest findings soon. although ministers can ignore that advice. 0ne trend we have seen is people getting second jobs. that number is up by 90,000 compared with before the pandemic. it is one way people are coping when wages are not stretching so far. hannah miller has been hearing from some of those workers. working nine to five as a community nurse, forjill, finishing up here doesn't mean heading home for the night. in the past couple of months, she's taken on a second job. emergency care from six till midnight, twice a week. i thought it'd be good clinically, it's development. it's extra money, which is always

a good thing to have. it's really common. so where i go in to do the out—of—hours work, a lot of the people i see i will have seen in the community services. so it's quite a regular thing to see. you could, if you decide to do that, you will probably bump into people that you've seen during the day. are you knackered? yeah, i am, i am tired. you know, the extra in recent weeks is, yeah, it's pretty tiring. so i'm not going to carry on for much longer doing that amount. the shadows are painted as highlights and the highlights are painted as shadows. kristen used to work full time as an artist. i've developed a filter on instagram which reinverts everything. so if you have a look at the painting through this... oh, wow, that's amazing. thank you. it looks completely different. but when the pandemic struck, kristen had to get even more creative with her career,

taking on a full time role in communications for the nhs. i struggle with my two jobs making ends meet. i would say that there's always that kind of like crunch time before, like a week before payday and i'm really good with my finances, nhsjust kind of covers my rent and bills at basics. and then art is food and leisure. does it bother you that your full time nhs job doesn't support you with your basic bills? yeah, it really annoys me, especially thinking about people who rely on that 100% and don't have a business that they built on the side. i don't know how they do it. people who have families to feed, it's scary. hr representatives say they're increasingly hearing from employers concerned for the wellbeing of people with more than one job. i think it's always important for employers to have a good insight into what's happening for their people. we saw in the pandemic that people's financial wellbeing and their mental wellbeing are really closely linked. so it's definitely a conversation,

it's definitely transparency on both parts about what's acceptable, what isn't, but also how it's going to be supported. and with more and more people taking on second jobs, those conversations are likely to become more frequent. hannah miller, bbc news. we spoke to the department of health and social care who told us more than a million eligible nhs staff received a pay rise and one—off payments last month. and the thing is, when we hear examples like that about second jobs it gives the real world impact of these stats, which can seem dry and removed from everyday life. they're having a real—world impact. absolutely. thank you. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with gavin and gabby. morning. coming up, they are the staple of every kitchen cupboard,

if the government would make a full planning application, and i would encourage them to do so, then under our tough planning regulations, 50% of these homes would have to be genuinely affordable homes. i would encourage the government to make a planning application. londoners are being asked to consider creating watery havens for wildlife in their gardens. the wildfowl and wetlands trust has created a guide to help people create mini—wetlands that would encourage frogs, dragonflies and even bats. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. the northern line is has severe delays but otherwise there's a good service on the rest of the network. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good morning. staying rather unsettled across the capital as we head through the rest of this week so some more showers, some longer spells of rain around at times, and it's quite a wet start to the morning for many of us. it's mild and it's muggy out there too. it will be a slowly improving

picture as the day goes on, so the rain will peter out. the front is gradually pushing its way southwards and eastwards, and there could still be a few light patches of rain as we head through the afternoon, maybe one or two showers. plenty of cloud but also some brighter spells developing at times. we will see temperatures peak in the best of the brightness at around 21, 22 celsius so generally cooler than it was yesterday. the winds are also a little lighter. this evening and overnight, it does look dry with lots of long clear spells. this is how we start the day on wednesday. on wednesday, low pressure still dominating. there will be some more showers springing up here and there, but also some sunny spells. temperatures are a little higher. it looks largely dry on thursday. that's it from me. more on bbc news app and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but for now lets go back to sally and ben.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. lawyers representing the young person at the centre of the allegations against a bbc presenter have disputed their mother's account of events. the story emerged when the sun newspaper reported that the unnamed presenter was alleged to have paid someone for sexually explicit photos. we can discuss these latest developments now with the bbc's culture editor, katie razzall. we've been hearing those two statements this morning from both the young person and their parents. where do those two differing accounts leave us? i think we really are in the realm of claim — i think we really are in the realm of claim and counterclaim because as you say— of claim and counterclaim because as you say yesterday we at the bbc received — you say yesterday we at the bbc received this letter originally sent to the _ received this letter originally sent to the bbc itself and passed to us in the _ to the bbc itself and passed to us in the news from a lawyer who said he was _ in the news from a lawyer who said he was acting for the young person involved _ he was acting for the young person involved saying that the story in

in the quarterfinals. he only finished off his fourth round match against hubert hurcacz yestreday, after they ran out of time to play to a finish on sunday. obviously the curfew is probably something that is much more difficult to change because of the community and residential area we are in but i think the matches could be pushed at least to start at 12 o'clock. djokovic still on course for a place in that final, as is world number one caros alcaraz, with the two set to meet in sunday's showpiece. it would be box office stuff. alcaraz knocking out finalist matteo berrettini yesterday, and will play denmark's holger rune in the last eight tomorrow there'll be a repeat of last year's women's singles final in the last eight after elena rybakina was handed victory when her opponent beatrix haddad maia retired with a back injury. she'll play ons jabeur tomorrow. and there may be no british players left in the singles —

but there is a success story brewing in the women's doubles. nayktha bains and maia lumsden are into the quarter finals — becoming the first british pair in 40 years to do so. that wasjo durie and anne hobbs who reached the semis in 1983 now to a tale of sportsmanship and success for great britain at the world para—athletics championships. jonathan broom—edwards retaining his highjump title — but he wasn't alone at the top after both he and poland's maciej lepiatojumped the same height, 2.05 metres, organisers gave them the opportunity of a 'jump—off' to settle it, but the two agreed to share gold instead. this the second gold great britain have won at the championships. and before we go, a little proof that we all have some

sporting talent, within. court numberone. wimbledon yesterday. medvedev in action. wait for it... as the ball flies off his opponents racket, this guy only went and caught it in his glass. a fairly full glass at that... is that like the equivalent of winning _ is that like the equivalent of winning wimbledon? how is that like the equivalent of winning wimbledon? is that like the equivalent of winnin: wimbledon? ., ., winning wimbledon? how did he not aet wet? i winning wimbledon? how did he not get wet? i don't _ winning wimbledon? how did he not get wet? i don't think _ winning wimbledon? how did he not get wet? i don't think there - winning wimbledon? how did he not get wet? i don't think there was - get wet? i don't think there was very much _ get wet? i don't think there was very much left _ get wet? i don't think there was very much left in _ get wet? i don't think there was very much left in the _ get wet? i don't think there was very much left in the glass. - get wet? i don't think there was i very much left in the glass. cheers to that. the journey to becoming a professional footballer playing at the top of the game certainly isn't easy — it takes years of hard work and dedication. a new documentary released next week will tell the story of how manchester city midfielder kalvin phillips went from captaining the leeds united academy tojoining pep guardiola's treble—winning side — battling injuries and setbacks along the way. let's take a look at
