start your monday morning. a little bit of rain for some, even some thunderstorms —— mist and rain to start your monday morning. good morning, it's monday 2nd september. one or two—word 0fsted inspection grades for england's schools are being scrapped with immediate effect. last year an inquest found an 0fsted inspection had contributed to the suicide of primary headteacher ruth perry, leading to widespread calls for change. headteacher ruth perry, leading the government said the overall grades weren't fair or accurate, but the change was criticised by the conservatives for removing "a vital indicator for parents". here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. after an inspection, caversham primary was
6:03 am
but yes, it's this... a relief, really, that no other head teacher will have to go through what ruth went through. so from today, overall inspection grades are scrapped, like good or inadequate. school inspection standards remain the same. and from september 2025, there will be a new report card for parents. education unions welcomed the change and said parents will still get clear reports this year. the inspection system remains broadly the same at the moment, and it will give a full report on the performance of the school right now. itjust removes the high stakes nature that's been so damaging. and what we will do now is build a new system through 0fsted, through government
6:04 am
and through the profession to make sure parents really get what they need. parents and teachers will get a say in the design of the new report card. it will have to prove it works just as well or better to help schools improve, and parents choose the best school for their child. branwen jefferys, bbc news. at 7.30 we'll be speaking to education minister, bridget phillipson. jon has more of the day's news. the government has promised to look into the problems caused by so—called "dynamic pricing" of tickets to gigs and concerts. the practice, which allows official ticket sellers to inflate prices when demand is high, will now be included in a planned consultation on protecting fans from ticket touts. it comes after millions of people tried to buy 0asis tickets over the weekend, as leigh milner reports. first came the hype.
6:05 am
when both come together, you have greatness. then the disappointment. millions of oasis fans spent saturday morning battling lengthy online queues and technical glitches in the hope of bagging tickets to next year's reunion gigs. many of those who did get through then faced another hurdle. tickets costing hundreds of pounds more than expected thanks to so—called dynamic pricing. that's when high demand pushes up costs, a practice more commonly seen on taxi hailing apps or airline websites. the cheapest tickets were between 70 and 205, i think, which you can kind of sort of, well, yeah, ok, that's not too bad. but then the only ones that were available were the platinum, so it was like £500. we didn't want to pay that so, um, no. so we're not going. # tonight i'm a rock and roll star. the government had already pledged a consultation to tackle ticket touting.
6:06 am
that's the resale of tickets by secondary vendors. # so maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. now it says it will add dynamic pricing, which is done by the primary vendors, to that consultation. this must be welcome news. dynamic pricing was an odious business product that was brought overfrom north america and really does disadvantage a significant number of consumers. it's vitally important that government actually understands how this industry works, not just what they're told by ticket companies. # you gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time. the society of ticket agents and retailers has stressed that ticket prices are set by artists and their management. whoever�*s responsible, music fans will be hoping prices come down. leigh milner, bbc news.
6:07 am
nino will be looking at that issue later in the programme. up to half a million people are estimated to have protested across israel, demanding that the government does a deal with hamas to return the remaining hostages. it comes after six israelis were found dead in a tunnel in rafah over the weekend. 0ur correspondentjon donnison is in jerusalem. how much pressure is there on the israeli prime ministers this morning? a, israeli prime ministers this morning?— israeli prime ministers this morninu? �* ., , morning? a lot. these were the bi est morning? a lot. these were the biggest protests _ morning? a lot. these were the biggest protests across - morning? a lot. these were the biggest protests across israel i morning? a lot. these were the i biggest protests across israel since the start of the war. hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating across the country. there were calls from the forum representing hostage families formal protests today, plans to block major highways across israel, there is a general strike that's going to happen so thousands
6:08 am
of businesses will be closed, banks, some schools, universities, government ministries. so he is under real pressure. the outrage against hamas is given here in israel. but these protests are not about that. they are about prime minister netanyahu and his government, and they say, the protesters, that mr netanyahu is prioritising his own personal political survival ahead of securing a comprehensive ceasefire and hostage release deal for gaza. a comprehensive ceasefire and hostage release dealfor gaza. these protests last night at tel aviv, you had people shouting murderer, referring to mr netanyahu. he is has their blood on his hands, they said. there were six more bodies brought out of gaza a week ago, these bodies at the weekend, and some of the hostage family say that if it was not for mr netanyahu, their loved
6:09 am
ones would be alive. he rejects that and said hamas is blocking a deal and said hamas is blocking a deal and must be pursued.— and said hamas is blocking a deal and must be pursued. thank you very much. a new vaccination, described as "game changing", is being rolled out by the nhs to protect babies and elderly people from a cold virus this winter across the uk. respiratory syncytial virus, or rsv, leads to mild cold—like symptoms for most, but can lead to pneumonia or even prove fatal for vulnerable people. 0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. this was my grandson lyle, on life support at alder hey hospital, just weeks old, developed rsv that had gone into bronchiolitis. andrew gwynne is not only a grandfather but also england's minister for public health launching the newjabs. i don't want any other family to have to go through the trauma and the worry that my wife and i went through in those two weeks, and this is preventable, which is why this vaccine is so important.
6:10 am
respiratory syncytial virus, or rsv, usually causes cold—like symptoms but can lead to serious complications like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. every year, 20,000 babies and thousands of elderly people are treated in hospital in england after catching it. it's potentially life threatening, particularly for very young, vulnerable babies who may have other conditions like cardiac conditions or may be premature. those babies tend to get very sick. but today, for the first time, the nhs in england, wales and northern ireland will be offering women who are 28 weeks pregnant and elderly people aged 75 to 79 newjabs to protect against rsv. the same vaccines are already offered in scotland. so he'sjust a conventional five—year—old boy, full of beans, full of life. andrew gwynne's grandson lyle made a full recovery. health experts are hoping
6:11 am
the newjab will be a game changer this winter for vulnerable babies and the elderly. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the far—right party, alternative for germany, or afd, is celebrating significant successes in yesterday's regional elections in two eastern states. exit polls suggest it will be the largest party in the local parliament in thuringia, and second largest in saxony. other political parties have ruled out forming coalitions with the afd. west midlands police have arrested two teenagers in connection with the murder of a 13—year—old boy at his home in 0ldbury. the boy was discovered with stab wounds on thursday afternoon and died at the scene. mps return to parliament today after the summer break, with the row about winter fuel payments continuing. 0ne cabinet minister has insisted that the government has had to make tough decisions on spending to avoid a run on the pound. 0ur chief political correspondent
6:12 am
henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, back to work for all those mps and it seems like it's all about money is the new term begins. exactly right, jon. this new government is trying to bounce back into the political term with a burst of political energy. there is legislation in the commons this week on the railways, bringing them back into public ownership. 0n more oversight, independent oversight of budget decisions. 0n gb energy, the energy company and the announcement on 0fsted we have been talking about. but clouding over all of that are big decisions that everybody knows are coming down the track from this labour government on the budget, on tax, and on spend. we have already had one of those announcements, just before mps went away on the summer break, about the means testing of the winter fuel allowance and as you were saying, that has proved controversial over the summer with labour mps who are
6:13 am
getting anxious messages from their constituents who are concerned about it. i would expect that only to intensify as those mps congregate and share information. plenty of them do concede that this government is going to have to make tough choices. the thing is, this doesn't even touch the sides of the black hole, as keir starmer and rachel reeves put it, that they have to deal with. so all of that still pointing towards the budget which is at the end of next month, lots more tough decisions to come. the conservatives still have their decision to make about who will follow rishi sunak as the leader of the conservative party and the political term isjust the conservative party and the political term is just getting started. political term is 'ust getting started. ., ., ., ., ~ political term is 'ust getting started. ., ., ., ., now, you may have heard of pole vaulting, but in the netherlands they have taken the sport to new extremes. imagine this in the olympics or paralympics. fierljeppen, orfar leaping,

6:15 am
missed forming in fields. most of us have a grey and misty start to monday and some rain around for one or two, some rumbles of thunder as well. if you are going to head out of the day, it will not be cold. 13 to 19 degrees as it stands right now. close to where it should be on an afternoon in september never mind investing in the morning. but as you have been well aware —— first thing in the morning will stop but as some people will have been well aware, there have been some thunderstorms around, in yorkshire and drifting north, some showers will clip eastern northern ireland, push into southern scotland and persistent rain into north—west england. west and wales should brighten up a little bit. driest and brightest towards the south and eat but we could see some nasty thunderstorms across parts of eastern scotland, more persistent rain across western
6:16 am
scotland. temperatures in the mid—teens. might brighten up a little bit in northern ireland, one or two showers, a few showers across england and wales, wales, the south—west, may be the odd rumble of thunder. but some in the east could stay dry. persistent rain clearing away tonight from northern scotland, one or two showers elsewhere, not quite as humid as last night, especially in the west. a humid start across the south—east but to take us through tuesday and wednesday, a few showers but temperatures dropping, and much more comfortable feel for many. thank you, matt, see you soon. from today in england working parents of children aged nine months and older can access 15 hours of free childcare for the first time. let's look at the figures. the benefit is on offer to parents who earn just over £9,500 but less than £100,000 per year. with 50 hours of childcare costing an average of close to £16,000 annually,
6:17 am
those free hours could save more than £4,000 per child. help forfamilies with slightly older children was already available. parents of children aged two have been entitled to 15 hours free childcare since april and 30 hours for three and four—year—olds was already available. and there's more to come. from september of next year, there'll be 30 hours of free childcare for all children underfive. the education secretary has warned the plan comes with significant challenges and getting a nursery place will not be plain sailing for some parents. 0ur education reporter vanessa clarke has more on this. at this baby sensory session in wolverhampton, the cost of childcare is never far from parents minds. but from this week many here will see a difference in their weekly nursery fee. lauren will save £400 a month. works out at about £100 a week which is a huge amount. it covers like a family day out.
6:18 am
it's a meal out, it's a mortgage. so, yeah, it's a massive amount. my wife told me it was going to be about £1,500 a month. i almost choked on my cereal. jonathan is grateful for any help with the cost of childcare, but was keen to secure a spot early. in the west midlands there are fewer places available than in some parts of england. a couple of months before she was born, we were round looking at nurseries. people were saying you might not get one. there's a lot of placements going, the 15 hours, 30 hours coming in, so you may struggle to get those places. by the time the scheme fully rolls out next september, 40,000 more staff will be needed. but nurseries are finding it hard to recruit. nurseries may have the space but boils down to the staffing and especially with the nine month old, um, because the ratio, it's one to three for ratio, whereas with the three year olds it's one to eight. if we've, say, got seven
6:19 am
children, that's three staff already that we need. over the last few years, the number of childcare places in england hasn't really changed. but in order for the expansion plans to succeed, they need to start growing. so schools are a key part of the government's solution to do that. the government plans to turn unused classrooms in primary schools into school based nurseries as the number of pupils is falling. but many would like to see the detail of how exactly this will work. schools are about education. i wouldn't be expanding, we haven't got the room here, nor have we got the staffing structure to do that. and i think that's a very different type of care rather than education. ministers say they are aware of the scale of the challenge ahead. they say they are working flat out to be able to secure the final phase next september, when the hours being offered will increase again. vanessa clarke, bbc news.
6:20 am
we will be speaking to the education secretary in just over an hour. let's look at today's papers. the pictures of the six israeli hostages found dead in gaza make the front page of the guardian. their discovery has led to what the paper calls "an eruption of public outcry" against the israeli government for the failure to reach a deal to bring the remaining hostages back. the daily mirror reports that almost 60 children a day were suspended from school for racism last year, an increase of 25% than the previous 12 months. and the times states that businesses face paying thousands of pounds in fines if they don't uphold new protections for employees introduced by labour as part of an overhaul on workers' rights. it feels a little bit like the first day of term today, doesn't it? it
6:21 am

6:23 am
on the bow, we were so excited. and then there's a moment of wait a minute, something's not right, and we could see that whole section of railing on the port side was gone. it's just iconic to see the bow of titanic. that's what you think of when you think of the shipwreck. um, and it doesn't look like that any more. i'm flying! the story of titanic has been told many times, but this famous scene in the 1997 film fixed this part of the ship in all of our minds. titanic was on her maiden voyage from southampton to new york in 1912, when she hit an iceberg and sank. 1,500 people lost their lives. after more than 100 years at the bottom of the ocean, the liner is gradually being lost to the sea. microbes are eating away at the ship, creating stalactites of rust, and sea life is colonising the wreck. the team used laser scans to study the bow. the section of railing that's gone
6:24 am
was about 4.5m long, and it was lost at some point in the last two years. it's now lying next to the ship on the sea floor where it fell. the expedition spent 20 days in the north atlantic using two underwater robots to image the wreck site. they focused on the debris field where items from the ship spilled out as the liner split in two. and this is one remarkable discovery found amongst the thousands of artefacts. a bronze statue called the diana of versailles that once adorned the first class lounge. the centrepiece of that room was this bronze statue. unfortunately for diana, when titanic split in two, the lounge got ripped open. and in the chaos and the destruction, um, diana got ripped off her mantle and she landed in the darkness by herself in the debris field. and the odds of finding it are just truly unbelievable.
6:25 am
these latest pictures are a reminder that the wreck is decaying. titanic is slowly returning to nature. rebecca morelle, bbc news. and that is, you have to say, that image at the end, it's one of the most famous part of that ship. from the movie- — most famous part of that ship. from the movie. yeah, _ most famous part of that ship. from the movie. yeah, that _ most famous part of that ship. from the movie. yeah, that moment - most famous part of that ship. from the movie. yeah, that moment of. most famous part of that ship. from | the movie. yeah, that moment of the film and it will— the movie. yeah, that moment of the film and it will not _ the movie. yeah, that moment of the film and it will not be _ the movie. yeah, that moment of the film and it will not be there _ the movie. yeah, that moment of the film and it will not be there much - film and it will not be there much longer. film and it will not be there much loner. . . , ., longer. the clarity under water, everything _ longer. the clarity under water, everything looks _ longer. the clarity under water, everything looks brand-new - longer. the clarity under water, | everything looks brand-new and everything looks brand—new and perfect. everything looks brand-new and erfect. ., ~' . everything looks brand-new and erfect. ., ~ ., ., perfect. you think, what maugham miaht still perfect. you think, what maugham might still come _ perfect. you think, what maugham might still come out, _ perfect. you think, what maugham might still come out, what - perfect. you think, what maugham might still come out, what might l might still come out, what might they find? might still come out, what might the find? , , , might still come out, what might the find? ,, , ., ,. ., they find? endlessly fascinated, isn't it? still to come on breakfast. after falling off a stage on the west end earlier this year, sir ian mckellen says he is recovering well and has no plans to retire from acting. before seven, find out how he'd feel about donning the pointy hat and beard again for the forthcoming lord of the rings movie. that is what he called it! i love that. i that is what he called it! i love that. ., , ., ., , ., .,

transport for london told us it stands ready to take further action at victoria bus station if needed to keep people travelling in london safe. this could include additional safety improvements, subject to the outcome of the police investigation and internal investigations and research. surrey police have confirmed three children found dead at a house in surrey were all under the age of four and related. their bodies, and that of a man, were discovered yesterday afternoon at a house in staines. the force has referred itself to the independent office for police conduct because of previous police contact with those who died. detectives believe no—one else involved. a man has died following a house fire in south croydon over the weekend. london fire brigade were called to chelsham road on saturday morning. the cause of the fire is under investigation. an ancient roman kiln has gone on display in north london, following extensive restoration work. the kiln, discovered in 1968, is thought to be the last built by roman potters who worked

6:29 am
and a cooler day as we head into tuesday, as well — any early sunshine in the east, we'll see thicker cloud coming in from the west. that should, however, clear — might get one or two showers, but we'll get some sunny spells by the end of the day. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 22 celsius. now, as we head further through this week, looks like it's going to be dry with some sunshine on wednesday. could see one or two showers later on in the week, but temperatures in the low 20s. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website — i'm back with more in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. people withjon kay and sally nugent. eager to get behind for people eager to get behind the wheel for driving lessons are being warned to look out for bogus adverts online. 0ne online. one of the country's leading driving skill says it is seeing an increase of scams on social media and it is something that nina has been investigating. learning to drive is becoming increasingly challenging. expensive,

6:31 am
lady who handed over £350 for ten lessons after answering this ad. we asked the owner of facebook what it is doing. they said they are taking down his account and have taken action against other accounts. 0ne driving skill has said it has seen a massive increase in this type of scam recently. we've seen a lot more of it in the last six months. and we actually found out about it by having customer complaints come into our contact centre and people saying, why hasn't their driving instructor shown up? so, yeah, i'd say it is a relatively new thing, activity that we are seeing. but again, in the wider sphere of commercial activity, you know, it's always a red flag when you're trying to buy something in high demand and if all of a sudden it's available and easy, just really a double question that before you move forward and pay any money over.
6:32 am
the government agency response was that it the government agency response was thatitis the government agency response was that it is illegal for anyone who isn't a qualified instructor to try for lessons. many drivers, they say, should report any strange activity and stringent action can be taken. as ever we would like to hear from you. if you have noticed any scams similar to this. maybe you have been so keen to get driving that you have been caught out, or maybe you clocked a scam before it was too late. get in touch in all the usual ways. it will be interesting to hear from you. thank ou ve interesting to hear from you. thank you very much- _ time to celebrate a lot of gold. unbelievable day for paralympics gb. 12 gold medals across four difference poison to put it into context it is the best day for paralympicsgb in the last century. that number of gold medals yesterday is a real standout.— is a real standout. every time i looked away. _

6:34 am
it's hannah cockroft in a race with the clock, and she crosses the line. cockroft has never lost a race at the paralympics, and in the 100m she was once again in a class of her own. an eighth paralympic title for cockroft, while there was a first for shot putter sabrina fortune — and how! first round effort and that is enormous! victory and a new world record. there were three golds on the rowing lake — the most dramatic for lauren rawles and greg stevenson. they trailed china for almost all their race before timing their charge to perfection. for rawles, a third gold in a row in the mixed double sculls. and it's rawles and stevenson. and worth all the hard work. it's the thing that fuels you through all of the dark days. you know, when it's raining outside, you know, obviously we do a terrible outdoor sport. you know, back in the uk, when it's cold and it's wet, you know, they're the things that fuel you, is living for these moments. but britain's biggest gold glut came in the pool. maisie summers—newton confirmed her star status by winning the 100m breaststroke. it's going to be gold
6:35 am
for maisie summers—newton. her second gold of the games. there was also victory for grace harvey — it meant, she said, more than anything. but the most remarkable win was brock whiston's. she trailed by 10 seconds at the halfway point in the individual medley, but somehow she won. brock whiston. for whiston, who'd been distraught after her previous event on friday, tears of pure joy. for paralympicsgb, it was that kind of day. well, we had super saturday at the olympics in 2012. this was really super sunday for paralympicsgb. still a week to go, but they have made a glittering start to these games. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. super sunday indeed with tears of m super sunday indeed with tears of joy all round. sally hurst is in paris and we canjoin her now. good

6:43 am
to use his new position to advocate for a better service for people who lose limbs across the country. 0ur reporter charlie rose has been to speak to him. a standing ovation for the former kent mp, who survived a life—threatening bout of sepsis. after an emotional return to the house of commons in may, craig mackinley will continue his political career in the house of lords, where he will call on the government to do more for people who lose limbs. looking at this thing that the nhs give out, um, if i had one good arm and that, you know, you might be able to get on quite 0k. but if you've got two of those, life is pretty limited. so this shouldn't happen. there should be a recognition that we can do better in 2024, given that we put men on the moon 55 years ago. the former mp for south thanet lost his hands and feet after contracting sepsis last september. he says the limbs he paid for privately made him feel whole again, but he's worried for those who can't access them.
6:44 am
if you're a little bit on the edge and, you know, not at all comfortable with where you've ended up in life, that, i think could sent you into a pit of despair. cor hutton also lost her hands and feet to sepsis. she says the nhs paid £75,000 for her bionic arm, which turned out to be unsuitable. the fact it was bulky, it was cumbersome, it was sweaty. every time you put a jacket on, i had to take my hand off. then to take myjacket off again, i had to take my hand back off again. and it was alljust very complicated and, um, by that time i'd learned to do a lot with my stumps. so, in actualfact, my £75,000 hand wasn't worth it for me, and i feel really guilty about that. the quality of training that is available to the young men and women entering this profession — and, crucially, the equipment that they have to work with — means that people are adjusting to this completely different life — like i've had to do, like craig is doing now, in the first year of his different life — it is better now than it
6:45 am
has ever been. but craig mackinley wants to see a more tailored service for patients — especially for those who've lost both hands — and believes working with suppliers can cut costs. that was charlie rose reporting. remarkable, seeing his recovery continuing and his determination to change. matt has the weather this monday morning. very wet in a lot of places but also pretty humid. good morning. it is, indeed. very good morning to you _ it is, indeed. very good morning to you very— it is, indeed. very good morning to you. very humid yesterday. ist of september yesterday, the official start to _ september yesterday, the official start to autumn as far as meteorologists are contained and we saw the _ meteorologists are contained and we saw the temperature hit 30 degrees in a wiggonholt in west sussex, making — in a wiggonholt in west sussex, making it — in a wiggonholt in west sussex, making it four out of the last five september ats when we have seen temperatures get above 30 degrees at some point. last year was pretty

for the future. sir ian mckellen has d over to alllived next to the river thames sir ian mckellen has lived next to the river thames for more than 40 years. it's never the same — the sky is changing all the time, when i retire, you can imagine me sitting here, watching the world go by. are you ever going to retire? there may well come a time when... phone rings. ..the phone stops ringing. that's your agent. am i going to retire? no. it's such a part of my life, acting. but injune, sir ian — who is 85 — was forced to take a break from the profession he loves. he fell off stage during a performance of player kings at london's noel coward theatre. thank you for inviting us in your lovely home. how are you? er, yes, i think i'm fine. it was a nasty fall and it was a shock initially, but i fractured my wrist — it's what every kid does when he falls off his bike —
6:50 am
and chipped a vertebrae. and do you remember how it happened? aye, i'm moving about, got my foot caught in the remains of a chair, which i tried to kick off — and in doing that i propelled myself forward, as it were on a skateboard, on the newspaper—shiny surface, down to the forestage and then off the stage, which was a three—foot drop. partly broken by a member of the audience on the front row. i was extremely lucky in that i was wearing a padded suit because falstaff — the part i was playing — is fat. it wasn't that i'd got dizzy or anything like that. it was a pure accident. so i count myself lucky that...it�*s beginning to be a distant memory. but it did mean that i couldn't do the tour. so if it's a chance for me to apologise to the audiences in bristol, birmingham, norwich and newcastle — i'm sorry i wasn't there. but i'll be back. i'm sure they forgive
6:51 am
you and fully understand why! i mean, your work ethic has been revered within the industry and beyond for many, many years. has it made you reassess that at all? i don't think it's that i've got an ethic. it's what else would i be doing if i wasn't working? i shall take the rest of the year off and then get back to work in january. just keep at it as long as the legs and the lungs and the mind keep working. iforget names. and, of course, when you say that to somebody, they say, "0hh, me too." and you think, well, is it the human condition? and does one in one's mid—80s know too many names? when you're older, you've got more to remember than people who are young. nevertheless, it's a nuisance when you can't remember your best friend's name, you know? 0r forget your telephone number. he chuckles. if you see me or hear i'm doing something, you know it's worth doing.
6:52 am
whether i do it well is a matter forjudgement. talking ofjudging performances, let's talk about your new film, the critic. the critic! in which you play a very caustic, somewhat catty theatre critic in the 1930s. you're being kind to him. and worse — i don't want to give anything away. i'm the chief drama critic of the daily chronicle. jimmy er5kine'5 never liked me. "hold your breath, for here is theatrical 5ewage." - it's a disaster. you should talk to him. the character you play is gay in the 1930s — that was illegal at that time. queer would be the word in those days. that was not only unfashionable, but it was a secret you had to hold close to your breast. and if other people discovered your secret, you could get into trouble with the law. you must practi5e your perversion behind closed doors. you're a cheeky- old queer, ain't you? may i return the compliment? you came out publicly as gay in 1988, whilst you were campaigning against clause
6:53 am
28 — the laws which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools. i've been gay all my life. it's just that i haven't ever come on a chat show and said it. and i've now felt the need to because the government, with this new law, has brought my private sexuality into the public arena by having a law about it. do you regret not doing that before? oh, yes. oh, my life would have been very different. looking back, i wish i'd been able to say to my blood family, long before i did, that i was gay, and it was only when i was mature enough and goaded enough to get angry — the new law that was being introduced by the thatcher government — that i took my life into my own hands and said... #iam whatiam... you know? is there a particular role of which you're most proud?
6:54 am
i was in a wonderful production by trevor nunn for the royal shakespeare company in 1976 of macbeth. and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. if you can manage to take on all the intricacies and subtleties of shakespeare's verse, and then make it seem as if you're making it up as you go along, then you've cracked the biggest problem of doing shakespeare. and that production did it. 0ut, out, brief candle! but then, lord of the rings. you shall not pass! it's not given to many of us to be in what turned out to be classics. lord of the rings is my, um...my casablanca, you know? another one — the hunt for gollum — is due to be made. will you be playing gandalf in it? well, i've had some indication from the powers that be — gandalf will make an appearance.

6:56 am
for not contacting them, and think victoria bus station isn't safe for passengers. they also think the way tfl deals with and investigates bus collisions needs to change. a lot of time has been spent when we should be grieving. we shouldn't have to do this. transport for london should, after all of these deaths, have learnt from them. i believe they have a lot of learning to do, and we want to make sure that things change, because this will happen again — more people will die from bus collisions — and their response needs to change. tfl told us it stands ready to take further action at victoria bus station if needed to keep people travelling in london safe which could include additional safety improvements, subject to the outcome of all investigations. surrey police have confirmed three children found dead at a house in staines were all under the age of four and related. their bodies, and that of a man,
6:57 am
were discovered yesterday afternoon at a house in bremer road. detectives believe no—one else involved. the force has referred itself to the iopc because of previous contact with those who died. a man has died following a house fire in south croydon over the weekend. london fire brigade were called to chelsham road on saturday morning. the cause of the fire is under investigation. an ancient roman kiln has gone on display in north london, following extensive restoration work. the kiln, discovered in 1968, is thought to be the last built by roman potters who worked in highgate wood nearly 2000 years ago to supply londonium, the capital of roman britain. let's take a look at the tubes now. most lines are running a good service, except for the central line which has minor delays. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. after a hot and humid end to the weekend, and a hotand humid night, it's a warm start this morning. we start the day with temperatures in the high teens. now, we have got quite a bit of mist and murk,
6:58 am
quite a bit of cloud around, could just get one or two showers. few breaks in the cloud, as well, though, so some bright, some sunny spells and temperatures not as warm as yesterday — 24 celsius the maximum. now, into this evening and overnight the cloud should start to clear, so some clear spells around — especially in the east — but by dawn we'll start to see more cloud edging in from the west. not quite as humid as last night — the minimum between 14 and 16 celsius. and a cooler day as we head into tuesday, as well — any early sunshine in the east, we'll see thicker cloud coming in from the west. that should, however, clear — might get one or two showers, but we'll get some sunny spells by the end of the day. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 22 celsius. now, as we head further through this week, looks like it's going to be dry with some sunshine on wednesday. could see one or two showers later on in the week, but temperatures in the low 20s. that's it for now but there's plenty more on our website, including the london youth club which is celebrating 140 years. i'm back with more in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the government scraps one word 0fsted assessments for schools in england, eight months after an inspection contributed to the suicide of headteacher ruth perry. thousands rally across israel after the bodies of six hostages held by hamas in the gaza strip were recovered by soldiers. # tonight i'm a rock and roll star.
7:00 am
the use of dynamic pricing will be looked into by ministers amid an ongoing row about the cost of tickets to see 0asis. a golden day for paralympics gb who enjoyed their best day of the games so far, 12 golds, their best performance at any paralympics this century. it isa it is a humid and misty start to monday, some of you should expect rain and even the odd rumble of thunder. all of the details here on breakfast. good morning, it's monday 2nd september. the way that 0fsted decribe schools in england with one or two words like "outstanding" or "inadequate" is being scrapped with immediate effect. last year an inquest found an 0fsted inspection had contributed to the suicide of primary headteacher ruth perry, leading to widespread calls for change. the government says giving schools single—words
7:01 am
to describe their performance isn't fair oraccurate, but the conservatives say the system is "a vital indicator for parents". here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. after an inspection, caversham primary was due to be downgraded. the school was good in many ways, but inspectors raised concerns. the headteacher, ruth perry, took her life while waiting for that report, tormented by the prospect of an inadequate grade. an inquest found the inspection contributed to mrs perry's suicide. her sisterjulia is delighted one or two word grades are being scrapped. she had a really bruising inspection that left her very fragile and that word, "inadequate", just, she went over
7:02 am
and over and over it. she kept repeating it, she wrote it down. and it was that feeling, notjust that she'd had the terrible shock and trauma of a completely unexpected bad 0fsted, but that she was still anticipating the public humiliation that would come with that. have you had a chance to share the news with the rest of your family? yes, and they are delighted. ruth's daughters in particular werejust, you know, "well done". you know, it really, really shouldn't have been like this. it really should not take a bereaved family member to push for change and to push for change for such a long time. but yes, it's this... a relief, really, that no other head teacher will have to go through what ruth went through. so from today, overall inspection grades are scrapped, like good or inadequate. school inspection
7:03 am
standards remain the same. and from september 2025, there will be a new report card for parents. education unions welcomed the change and said parents will still get clear reports this year. the inspection system remains broadly the same at the moment, and it will give a full report on the performance of the school right now. itjust removes the high stakes nature that's been so damaging. and what we will do now is build a new system through 0fsted, through government and through the profession to make sure parents really get what they need. parents and teachers will get a say in the design of the new report card. it will have to prove it works just as well or better to help schools improve, and parents choose the best school for their child. branwen jefferys, bbc news.
7:04 am
branwenjoins us now from london. branwen, the teaching profession has welcomed this move, but is it going to get even harder for parents to make an informed choice on where to send their child? it make an informed choice on where to send their child?— send their child? if you are a tarent send their child? if you are a parent and — send their child? if you are a parent and looking _ send their child? if you are a parent and looking for - send their child? if you are a parent and looking for a - send their child? if you are a i parent and looking for a school send their child? if you are a - parent and looking for a school this year, or your parent and looking for a school this year, oryour child parent and looking for a school this year, or your child was my school is in —— your child's school is expected, the standards will remain the same. schools will be held to account in a similar way. the same report will be issued, usually three orfour report will be issued, usually three or four pages, report will be issued, usually three orfour pages, and at the report will be issued, usually three or four pages, and at the top of that usually there is a section which sets out to the school's strengths and weaknesses on areas like quality of education or leadership or even the behaviour of the peoples. that will all still be there for this transition year while they work out a new system. the government says it will still intervene if a school is truly
7:05 am
failing. it is setting up school improvement teams at the start of next year to work with schools which have problems which can be resolved. the real question is how will next year's the real question is how will next yea r�*s system work the real question is how will next year's system work when a new report card comes in? that will have to be worked through this year. parents will be consulted and can have a say alongside the teaching profession. that will set a new direction for inspection in england's schools which will be very similar to what happens in many countries around the world. . .. happens in many countries around the world. . ~' ,. happens in many countries around the world. . ,, �* ., happens in many countries around the world. . ~ �* ., . world. thank you, branwen. we will be speaking — world. thank you, branwen. we will be speaking to _ world. thank you, branwen. we will be speaking to the _ world. thank you, branwen. we will be speaking to the education - be speaking to the education minister bridget phillipson in half an hour. jon has more of the day's news. yes, both of us failed to get tickets for oasis. the government has promised to look into the problems caused by so—called "dynamic pricing" of tickets to gigs and concerts. the practice, which allows official ticket sellers to inflate prices when demand is high,
7:06 am
will now be included in a planned consultation on protecting fans from ticket touts. it comes after millions of people tried to buy 0asis tickets over the weekend, as leigh milner reports. first came the hype. when both come together, you have greatness. then the disappointment. millions of oasis fans spent saturday morning battling lengthy online queues and technical glitches in the hope of bagging tickets to next year's reunion gigs. many of those who did get through then faced another hurdle. tickets costing hundreds of pounds more than expected thanks to so—called dynamic pricing. that's when high demand pushes up costs, a practice more commonly seen on taxi hailing apps or airline websites. the cheapest tickets were between 70 and 205, i think, which you can kind of sort of, well, yeah, ok, that's not too bad. but then the only ones that were available were the platinum, so it was like £500. we didn't want to pay that so, um, no.
7:07 am
so we're not going. # tonight i'm a rock and roll 5tar. the government had already pledged a consultation to tackle ticket touting. that's the resale of tickets by secondary vendors. # so maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. now it says it will add dynamic pricing, which is done by the primary vendors, to that consultation. this must be welcome news. dynamic pricing was an odious business product that was brought overfrom north america and really does disadvantage a significant number of consumers. it's vitally important that government actually understands how this industry works, not just what they're told by ticket companies. # you gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time. the society of ticket agents and retailers has stressed that ticket prices are set by artists
7:08 am
and their management. whoever�*s responsible, music fans will be hoping prices come down. leigh milner, bbc news. nina will be going through your comments and thoughts on that a little bit later on the programme. up to half a million people are estimated to have protested across israel, demanding that the government does a deal with hamas to return the remaining hostages. it comes after six israelis were found dead in a tunnel in rafah over the weekend. 0ur correspondentjon donnison is in jerusalem. jon, the israeli government is under enormous pressure this morning. that's right. these were the biggest protests we have seen in israel since the start of the war. today we have a general strike, thousands of businesses will be closed, some schools, universities, government
7:09 am
ministries, banks, some bus networks. so prime minister netanyahu is under enormous pressure. the outrage against hamas among israelis is a given but this protest is not about this. this is against the government of prime minister netanyahu who, the protesters and the families of some of the hostages accuse of putting his own personal political survival ahead of securing a hostage release deal and ceasefire. we saw remarkable seed in tel aviv yesterday with people chanting the murderer relating to mr netanyahu and saying he has blood on his hands and saying he has blood on his hands and some of those hostages would still be alive if he had done a deal. mr netanyahu of course entirely reject that, he says that it is hamas who are looking a ceasefire deal and he says he will pursue them and make them pay. qm.

session, isn't it? absolutely and this new government _ session, isn't it? absolutely and this new government is - session, isn't it? absolutely and this new government is trying i session, isn't it? absolutely andj this new government is trying to bounce into the new parliamentary term with a big burst of political energy. there is all sorts of legislation in the house of commons this week on big ticket labour priorities, legislation on bringing the railways back into public ownership as the franchises expire, legislation on gb energy, the new publicly owned energy company we had so much about during the campaign for the election. but hanging over all of that is the acknowledgement that keir starmer and rachel reeves are going to have to make what they call difficult decisions. we have one of those decisions just before mps broke up for the summer when the chancellor rachel reeves announced that the fuel allowance will be means tested for the first time, the winter fuel payment. some mps privately have concerns that measures to ensure that the most hard up pensioners are protected from that do not go far enough and those worries might spiral over the
7:12 am
coming weeks as the mps start to think about what might be in the budget because rachel reeves says there is a £22 billion black hole that she needs to fail and the means testing of winter fuel allowance doesn't go anywhere near filling that. so that means more decisions that. so that means more decisions that labour mps might not like on tax and spend to come. it does amount to a perilous political picture for this new prime minister. by picture for this new prime minister. by the way, it's his 62nd birthday today. happy birthday, keir starmer! thank you, henry. adele has announced that she will be taking an extended break from music when she concludes her las vegas residency in november. speaking to fans at her final show in germany on saturday evening, the singer said she has 10 remaining shows in vegas, but after that, they won't see her for a long time. the 36—year—old said she has been touring and performing nonstop for almost three years, and she's ready to get back to "living her life".

lorraine's husband tried to get tickets for cardiff but the ones he was offered were £500 each. £500 for a ticket is a ridiculous amount of money. even if he went on his own, nobody wants to go to a concert on their own, so we gave up. we literallyjust said, no, that's too much. some people may want to pay that but we didn't want to pay that. so, no, we are not going. dynamic pricing isn't new — we're used to holidays or taxis being more expensive at peak times, and ticketmaster says it's down to the artists and promoters to decide whether to use it. it's standard practice in the united states, and there are calls for more transparency over when it's being used in the uk. but it wasn'tjust dynamic pricing causing issues over the weekend. ticket touting, the re—sale of tickets by secondary vendors, also reared its head. a number of tickets were seen on resale websites
7:28 am
for prices of up to £6,000. that prompted 0asis to speak out. the band posted a warning on social media, saying tickets can only be resold at face value via official sites and those appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters. anti—touting campaigner adam webb said the only 0asis concerts not affected by re—selling tickets were the two in dublin, because the republic of ireland has made the practice illegal. that's kind of the road we have got to go down. we either outlaw or resell for profit or capping the prices at which you can resell. that will provide a lot more certainty and stop these ridiculous prices and ridiculous high volume selling that you see. ireland is not the only place, france, australia, lots of other countries have gone down this road. i think in the uk, we have got
7:29 am
a good opportunity to learn from those countries, see what has worked really well, see what has not worked so well, and reinvent things a little bit, ithink. the government has now said it's going to investigate both the issue of ticket touts reselling tickets for high prices, as well as the use of dynamic pricing. the culture secretary lisa nandy promised a consultation aiming to put fans back "at the heart of music" create a fairer system. we'd love to hear from you — is it something you've been affected by this weekend? did you get drawn in by dynamic pricing and look back in anger? did you get to the finish line and decide to roll with it? some people would say 0asis would be mad for it for not doing dynamic pricing. i couldn't resist, physically impossible to not do the pun! 50. impossible to not do the pun! so, sall did impossible to not do the pun! so, sally did wait. _ impossible to not do the pun! so, sally did wait. and _ impossible to not do the pun! so,

7:31 am
i believe they have a lot of learning to do, and we want to make sure that things change, because this will happen again — more people will die from bus collisions — and their response needs to change. tfl told us it stands ready to take further action at victoria bus station if needed to keep people travelling in london safe — which could include additional safety improvements, subject to the outcome of all investigations. surrey police have confirmed three children found dead at a house in staines were all under the age of four and related. their bodies, and that of a man, were discovered yesterday afternoon at a house in bremer road. detectives believe no—one else involved. the force has referred itself to the iopc because of previous contact with those who died. a man has died following a house fire in south croydon over the weekend. london fire brigade were called to chelsham road
7:32 am
on saturday morning. the cause of the fire is under investigation. an ancient roman kiln has gone on display in north london, following extensive restoration work. the kiln, discovered in 1968, is thought to be the last built by roman potters who worked in highgate wood nearly two thousand years ago to supply londinium, the capital of roman britain. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. after a hot and humid end to the weekend, and a hotand humid night, it's a warm start this morning. we start the day with temperatures in the high teens. now, we have got quite a bit of mist and murk, quite a bit of cloud around, could just get one or two showers. few breaks in the cloud, as well, though, so some bright, some sunny spells and temperatures not as warm as yesterday — 24 celsius the maximum. now, into this evening and overnight the cloud should start to clear, so some clear spells around — especially in the east — but by dawn we'll start to see more cloud edging in from the west.
7:33 am
not quite as humid as last night — the minimum between 14 and 16 celsius. and a cooler day as we head into tuesday, as well — any early sunshine in the east, we'll see thicker cloud coming in from the west. that should, however, clear — might get one or two showers, but we'll get some sunny spells by the end of the day. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 22 celsius. now, as we head further through this week, looks like it's going to be dry with some sunshine on wednesday. could see one or two showers later on in the week, but temperatures in the low 20s. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website — i'm back with more in half an hour. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. is withjon kay and sally nugent. lots of children retu this is lots of children return to school this morning, our main story this morning
7:34 am
is the immediate scrapping of those one or two—word 0fsted grades — meaning schools in england will no longer be described simply as outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate. the move comes after a head teacher — ruth perry — took her own life after her school was downgraded to "inadequate". we're joined now by the education secretary bridget phillipson. good morning, education secretary. how our school going to be held to account to these changes which come into immediate effect? goad account to these changes which come into immediate effect? good morning. toda we into immediate effect? good morning. today we are — into immediate effect? good morning. today we are announcing _ into immediate effect? good morning. today we are announcing with - today we are announcing with immediate effect that when it comes to schools there is judgments will be at an end. we will bring forward a new system of report cards that will better capture a school's strengths but also areas for improvement. i think the system we have at the momentjust is not working for parents, where the information they are given just isn't enough and where it comes to staff it is too high stakes. i will not hesitate to intervene in schools that i feeling this i'm determined to drive up standards in our schools
7:35 am
but the case for 0fsted reform is clear and we are delivering on the commitment we made in our manifesto for a better system to support children and families. horst for a better system to support children and families. how will you make that easily _ children and families. how will you make that easily accessible - children and families. how will you make that easily accessible for i make that easily accessible for parents? if one word is too harsh, too challenging, too difficult, how will you make it easy for a parent to make an informed judgment about a school their child might go to? i do not believe — school their child might go to? i do not believe we _ school their child might go to? i at not believe we can capture everything a school does, the things that work well, the areas for improvement, in one word. i say that as a parent. i take a close interest in this. as a politician but also i read 0fsted reports myself as a parent. i know from other parents and from the polling out there that they want more information about what is working and what needs to change and we will now go through a process with 0fsted and consulting on the shape of the new report cards that will take effect from next september to make sure they are capturing information that is useful for parents, for example skills who are doing really great work around
7:36 am

7:37 am
that inspection so there is a real confidence in the outcome of those judgments, whatever shape they take, and we all see a much sharper focus on driving up standards because i don't think it is right, for example, that one in four children leave primary skill without having reached the required standard in reading or maths and there has been too much complacency in recent years and this new government is determined to turn things around for our children. determined to turn things around for our children-— our children. might we expect to see chantes in our children. might we expect to see changes in the _ our children. might we expect to see changes in the regularity _ our children. might we expect to see changes in the regularity of - our children. might we expect to see changes in the regularity of school i changes in the regularity of school inspections? i know there are situations where a school might have been given an outstanding result and called outstanding and then might not be inspected for some time. under the previous government there had been a big gap particularly where it came to outstanding skills not being inspected again for extended periods, in some cases more than a decade. i don't think that is right and we need to make sure that schools are regularly having inspection so that parents can have absolute confidence in terms of the quality of education being provided. that is something i am discussing
7:38 am
with 0fsted about how we make sure we are focusing our efforts really effectively, but alongside that the rules of government, as well, so i am setting out that we will take a much clearer interest and a more regular interest in schools where they are not making progress because we have allowed some schools to drift, they have not had the support they need to make the improvements necessary. they need to make the improvements necessa . �* . they need to make the improvements necessa . �* , ., they need to make the improvements necessa . �*, ., ., ., necessary. let's move on to the government — necessary. let's move on to the government decision _ necessary. let's move on to the government decision to - necessary. let's move on to the government decision to cut i necessary. let's move on to the i government decision to cut winter fuel payments for many pensioners. lucy powell, you are cabinet colleague, was on our programme yesterday. this is what she said. the reason we are doing this is because the deficit was much higher than anyone thought, spending was higher than anyone thought, if we haven't taken this action, we would haven't taken this action, we would have seen a run on the pound, the economy crashing, and the people who pay the heaviest price are the poorest including pensioners and those on fixed incomes. i'm interested to know, do you think that might have happened, the economy might have crashed? iloathed that might have happened, the economy might have crashed? what is clear is that had _

7:40 am
when governments lose control and with that huge black hole we have exposed since coming into office, massive commitments being made, no plan to fund it, and we sawjust last week the 0br confirming that in the last three months £5 billion more had to be borrowed because of the unsustainable approach that the previous government had taken. so none of this is easy, none of it is palatable, but we have had to level with the british people about the state of the public finances and the necessary and high decisions we have had to take in order to get things back under control. you had to take in order to get things back under control.— had to take in order to get things back under control. you seem like ou are back under control. you seem like you are not _ back under control. you seem like you are not entirely _ back under control. you seem like you are not entirely agreeing i back under control. you seem like you are not entirely agreeing with | you are not entirely agreeing with your cabinet colleague lucy powell. my your cabinet colleague lucy powell. my understanding that lucy was making a wider point about the need to get the public finances under control and the winter fuel allowance was one element of that. one element that none of us wanted 0ne element that none of us wanted to be doing, that we regret having to be doing, that we regret having to do because we didn't anticipate quite such a big hole in the public finances, but that is the situation that the tories left behind,

7:42 am
services so there are more choices to be made, some are tough and we don't relish that, we don't like that for one moment, but that is the situation that we have inherited. the conservatives will say they left you a growing economy.— the conservatives will say they left you a growing economy. well, i think our you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers — you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers will— you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers will know _ you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers will knowjust _ you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers will knowjust how i you a growing economy. well, i think your viewers will knowjust how bad | your viewers will knowjust how bad things had been in recent years. they will know the shape of the economy and they will recognise, as we all do, that action was necessary in order to get things back under control. i don't think the conservatives have anything to be crowing about here, given that it was their recklessness that pushed the economy in such a difficult direction, not least when it came to mortgage payments and people paying more on their rent every month because of that mini budget and we have had to take decisive action to turn things around. it have had to take decisive action to turn things around.— turn things around. it seemed everyone _ turn things around. it seemed everyone was _ turn things around. it seemed everyone was trying _ turn things around. it seemed everyone was trying to - turn things around. it seemed everyone was trying to get i turn things around. it seemed i everyone was trying to get tickets for oasis tickets at the weekend, what is your stance on this so—called dynamic pricing we are talking about? itide so-called dynamic pricing we are talking about?— so-called dynamic pricing we are talking about? we are concerned about this and _ talking about? we are concerned about this and i _ talking about? we are concerned about this and i understand i talking about? we are concerned about this and i understand the l about this and i understand the frustration that many fans have experience in trying to get tickets, and that is why lisa nandy, our

7:47 am
does at old trafford — liverpool's sharp shooter then revealing this could be his last season at liverpool. at this moment, he's one of ours and i'm really, really happy with him being one of ours, and he plays really well. so, um, we... i don't talk about contracts, um, from players, but i can talk for hours about how mo played today. but are you interested in that? he laughs. everyone will be interested in his future, though. newcastle remain unbeaten after beating tottenham at home. alexander isak got the winner late in the second half to give them a 2—1victory. it's tottenham's first defeat of the season. and eberechi eze demonstrated his value to crystal palace with a brilliant equaliser in their 1—1 draw with chelsea. we had another big derby day as celtic beat rivals rangers 3—0. callum mcgregor�*s goal the pick of the bunch with a gap already opening up between the two sides, celtic are fourth
7:48 am
already opening up between the two sides, celtic are top with rangers down in fourth. england may have just uncovered a future star as they beat sri lanka in the second test at lord's. bowling, gus atkinson took five wickets on top of the century he made with the bat in the first innings — a brilliant feat. and in doing so becomes only the third england player to achieve both in the same test match. and the first since ian botham 110 years ago. esteemeed company. there was victory for charles leclerc at the italian grand prix as max verstappen's season threatens to unravel. the win proved to be a popular one for the ferrari fans at the italina monza track. he took the chequered flag ahead of mclaren's oscar piastri and lando norris, with verstappen finishing sixth as his championship lead was cutback again. it is a big day for british number
7:49 am
one jack draper, who is bidding to reach the quarter finals of any grand slam for the first time when he plays in the us open later — the only brit left in the singles. we've seen some big names go out, the likes of djokovic and alcaraz, whilst in the women's draw this was coco gauff — also out. the defending champion was beaten by fellow american emma navarro in the fourth round in new york. draper will be hoping to avoid that. while some players have been struggling to keep their cool, yulia putintseva has been criticised for her stroppy behaviour when she left a ball girl feeling humilated after intentionally not catching the balls that were thrown to her during play — instead letting them just drop at her feet. boris becker labeled it terrible behaviour. and putintseva has since apologised, saying...

working at 85. plus, it is a humid buta plus, it is a humid but a rather grey and misty start to monday. some of you will brighten up but there will be some downpours around and some of them will be thundery. details coming up. good morning, it's monday the 2nd of september. the way that ofsted decribe schools in england with one or two—words like "outstanding" or "inadequate" is being scrapped with immediate effect. last year an inquest found an ofsted inspection had contributed to the suicide of primary headteacher ruth perry, leading to widespread calls for change. the government says giving schools single—words to describe their performance isn't fair oraccurate, but the conservatives say the system is "a vital indicator for parents". here's our education editor branwen jeffreys. after an inspection, caversham primary was due to be downgraded. the school was good in many ways, but inspectors raised concerns.
8:03 am
the headteacher, ruth perry, took her life while waiting for that report, tormented by the prospect of an inadequate grade. an inquest found the inspection contributed to mrs perry's suicide. her sisterjulia is delighted one or two word grades are being scrapped. she had a really bruising inspection that left her very fragile and that word, "inadequate", just, she went over and over and over it. she kept repeating it, she wrote it down. and it was that feeling, notjust that she'd had the terrible shock and trauma of a completely unexpected bad ofsted, but that she was still anticipating the public humiliation that would come with that. have you had a chance to share the news with the rest of your family?
8:04 am
yes, and they are delighted. ruth's daughters in particular werejust, you know, "well done". you know, it really, really shouldn't have been like this. it really should not take a bereaved family member to push for change and to push for change for such a long time. but yes, it's this... a relief, really, that no other head teacher will have to go through what ruth went through. so from today, overall inspection grades are scrapped, like good or inadequate. school inspection standards remain the same. and from september 2025, there will be a new report card for parents. education unions welcomed the change and said parents will still get clear reports this year. the inspection system remains broadly the same at the moment, and it will give a full report on the performance of the school right now.
8:05 am
itjust removes the high stakes nature that's been so damaging. and what we will do now is build a new system through ofsted, through government and through the profession to make sure parents really get what they need. parents and teachers will get a say in the design of the new report card. it will have to prove it works just as well or better to help schools improve, and parents choose the best school for their child. branwen jefferys, bbc news. jon has more of the day's news, including ticket prices, there's tickets for oasis got very expensive, didn't they? it took a long time, they got expensive and then a lot of people got none at all. like expensive and then a lot of people got none at all.— if you were among the millions of people struggling to get oasis tickets at the weekend, the government has promised to look into the issues caused by so—called "dynamic pricing". the practice, which allows official ticket—sellers to inflate prices for gigs when demand is high,
8:06 am
will now be included in an official review into protecting fans from ticket touts, as leigh milner reports. first came the hype. when both come together, you have greatness. then the disappointment. millions of oasis fans spent saturday morning battling lengthy online queues and technical glitches in the hope of bagging tickets to next year's reunion gigs. many of those who did get through then faced another hurdle. tickets costing hundreds of pounds more than expected thanks to so—called dynamic pricing. that's when high demand pushes up costs, a practice more commonly seen on taxi hailing apps or airline websites. the cheapest tickets were between 70 and 205, i think, which you can kind of sort of, well, yeah, ok, that's not too bad. but then the only ones that were available were the platinum, so it was like £500.
8:07 am
we didn't want to pay that so, um, no. so we're not going. # tonight i'm a rock and roll star. the government had already pledged a consultation to tackle ticket touting. that's the resale of tickets by secondary vendors. # so maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. now it says it will add dynamic pricing, which is done by the primary vendors, to that consultation. this must be welcome news. dynamic pricing was an odious business product that was brought overfrom north america and really does disadvantage a significant number of consumers. it's vitally important that government actually understands how this industry works, not just what they're told by ticket companies. # you gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time. the society of ticket agents
8:08 am
and retailers has stressed that ticket prices are set by artists and their management. whoever�*s responsible, music fans will be hoping prices come down. leigh milner, bbc news. up to half a million people are estimated to have protested across israel overnight, demanding that the government there does a deal with hamas to return the remaining hostages. the demonstrations come after six israelis were found dead in a tunnel in rafah over the weekend. earlier we spoke to our correspondent jon donnison in jersualem. these were the biggest protests we have seen in israel since the start of the war. today we have a general strike, thousands of businesses will be closed, some schools, universities, government ministries, banks, some bus networks. so prime minister netanyahu is under enormous pressure. the outrage against hamas among israelis is a given but this protest is not about this.
8:09 am
this is against the government of prime minister netanyahu who, the protesters and the families of some of the hostages accuse of putting his own personal political survival ahead of securing a hostage release deal and ceasefire. we saw remarkable seed in tel aviv yesterday with people chanting we saw remarkable scenes in tel aviv yesterday with people chanting "murderer" relating to mr netanyahu and saying he has blood on his hands and some of those hostages would still be alive if he had done a deal. mr netanyahu of course entirely rejects that, he says that it is hamas who are blocking a ceasefire deal and he says he will pursue them and make them pay. mps return to parliament today after the summer break, with the row about winter fuel payments continuing. one cabinet minister has insisted that the government has had to make

8:13 am
bridget phillipson, has warned that there will be significant challenges in finding enough nursery places. here's our education reporter, vanessa clarke. at this baby sensory session in wolverhampton, the cost of childcare is never far from parents�* minds. but from this week many here will see a difference in their weekly nursery fee. lauren will save £400 a month. works out at about £100 a week which is a huge amount. it covers like a family day out. it's a meal out, it's a mortgage. so, yeah, it's a massive amount. my wife told me it was going to be about £1,500 a month. i almost choked on my cereal. jonathan is grateful for any help with the cost of childcare, but was keen to secure a spot early. in the west midlands there are fewer places available than in some parts of england. a couple of months before she was born, we were round looking at nurseries. people were saying you might not get one. there's a lot of placements going, the 15 hours, 30 hours coming in, so you may struggle
8:14 am
to get those places. by the time the scheme fully rolls out next september, 40,000 more staff will be needed. but nurseries are finding it hard to recruit. nurseries may have the space but boils down to the staffing and especially with the nine months old, um, because the ratio, it's one to three for ratio, whereas with the three year olds it's one to eight. if we've, say, got seven children, that's three staff already that we need. over the last few years, the number of childcare places in england hasn't really changed. but in order for the expansion plans to succeed, they need to start growing. so schools are a key part of the government's solution to do that. the government plans to turn unused classrooms in primary schools into school based nurseries as the number of pupils is falling. but many would like to see the detail of how exactly this will work.
8:15 am
schools are about education. i wouldn't be expanding, we haven't got the room here, nor have we got the staffing structure to do that. and i think that's a very different type of care rather than education. ministers say they are aware of the scale of the challenge ahead. they say they are working flat out to be able to secure the final phase next september, when the hours being offered will increase again. vanessa clarke, bbc news. all change as we go back to school. it does feel a bit like back to school, back to work, today. literally, holiday is a long time ago. literally, holiday is a long time auo. ,, , , ago. september, so it will get really warm — ago. september, so it will get really warm and _ ago. september, so it will get really warm and sunny! - ago. september, so it will get really warm and sunny! well, | ago. september, so it will get - really warm and sunny! well, let's ask matt, really warm and sunny! well, let's ask matt. who _ really warm and sunny! well, let's ask matt, who has _ really warm and sunny! well, let's ask matt, who has the _ really warm and sunny! well, let's ask matt, who has the weather. i good morning. still quite humid out there, it is misty and murky, this
8:16 am
weather watcher picture from wakefield shows those murky conditions that many are experiencing. but will brighten up somewhere, but there is still a risk of downpours as well is a risk of thunder as humid conditions continue. temperatures at the moment around 13 to 19, not far off where we should be in the afternoon, never mind vesting the morning. but we do have some storms around, just offshore from north—east england but they will push onshore into eastern scotland in coming hours. more persistent rain towards the west of the uk, particularly across north—west wales, eastern northern ireland, south—west scotland, nudging into north—west england and the rest of western scotland later. thunderstorms continue to work across part of eastern scotland so they will be pushing into wards orkney and shetland late in the day. persistent rain across western scotland, temperatures not far off where we are, lifting a few degrees.
8:17 am
something brighter into the west of northern ireland later on and we will see some brighter breaks across england and wales, showers in wales and the south—west as they returned later could be on the thundery side. night persistent rain in the north of scotland for a time which will clear, a few showers elsewhere. temperatures can dip down to 5 degrees, but16 in temperatures can dip down to 5 degrees, but 16 in the south—east corner. all of us will feel fresh in the next few days, one or two showers but dry and bright with as well. six months today, 23—year—old jack o'sullivan went missing after leaving a house party in bristol. since then, his parents catherine and alan have desperately been searching for answers. despite an extensive investigation which has included searches by air, land and water, as well as revewing hundreds of hours of cctv footage, police still don't know what's happened to him. sophie long reports.
8:18 am
this is jack o'sullivan leaving home on the evening of friday, the 1st of march. he's on his way to a house party in bristol. we know jack left that partyjust before 2am, texted his mum and was trying to find a taxi. but six months later, he still hasn't made it home. this is the last confirmed sighting ofjack. he walked past a camera and onto this small grassy area. it's a piece of [and his parents now know well. they believe they've spotted him on footage ten minutes later, and think he was heading towards clifton and hotwells. probably 15 or 20 minutes further on in the timeline, it moves him to a different place, with a different possible area of bristol that he's moving into at a later time. it's now six months since jack was last seen and life
8:19 am
for his family so painfully stalled. during that time, he should have celebrated his 23rd birthday. his bedroom remains just as he left it. the investigation has also seen little movement. this is unusual. within avon and somerset constabulary last year we dealt with around 5,500 missing people reports. the majority of missing people are successfully found. and that's why this case is so unusual that jack has not been found. and six months on, while our search continues, it's important that the public know that and that they work with us. and if there is any information left out there, that they bring it to us to help us find jack. where is jack? what happened to him? the questions his family long to learn the answers to, as they continue to count the days and desperately cling to hope. sophie long, bbc news.

8:21 am

8:22 am
the area during that time. so, you know, we continue to ask if anybody has got, even something that maybe they don't feel was relevant, you know, a tiny item like that might make all the difference to us. i make all the difference to us. i live in bristol and i was driving through bristol last night and i saw a great big electronic billboard with a picture with an appeal for information with his picture. this is an opportunity to say to people right across the uk that they could have information as well. absolutely. initially, we were focusing solely on the area that he was last seen. but since, you know, anything could be possible. he could have travelled further afield, outside of bristol, and anywhere in the country. i think my appeal really is to anybody, notjust in the bristol area. really is to anybody, not 'ust in the bristol area.�* really is to anybody, not 'ust in the bristol area. was there anything about his behaviour— the bristol area. was there anything about his behaviour or _ the bristol area. was there anything about his behaviour or his _ the bristol area. was there anything about his behaviour or his activity i about his behaviour or his activity in the days or weeks beforehand that
8:23 am
is a nagging doubt with you, that might explain some no, not at all. if anything, i would have described jack as just coming to the prime of his life. he was a really, he is a really hard worker. and he really wanted to achieve. and hejust really hard worker. and he really wanted to achieve. and he just got some summer vacation opportunities with severalfirms. and everything was really good. and also, that evening, he messaged me, you know, at ten in the morning, to tell me where he was and what time he thought he might come home and said, don't wait up, i have my keys and i'm going to get a taxi. so there's nothing there. out of the ordinary at all. �* nothing there. out of the ordinary at all. . , ., nothing there. out of the ordinary atall.�* nothing there. out of the ordinary at all. r ., at all. and you say you mentioned that ou at all. and you say you mentioned that you get _ at all. and you say you mentioned that you get up. _ at all. and you say you mentioned that you get up. you _ at all. and you say you mentioned that you get up, you shower, - at all. and you say you mentioned that you get up, you shower, you| at all. and you say you mentioned i that you get up, you shower, you get dressed, and you try to have a version of a life but in a sense,

the police hold that information. and they were not raised —— how they will not release it. we have asked to do it ourselves, not that we think we are better than anyone else, but we have had huge problems with cctv right at the start, so for us we wanted to have the reassurance that we have done everything. and we will pay to do these things. but as i say, the police are holding onto this at the moment. and we cannot break through as to why that there is the case. i break through as to why that there is the case-— is the case. i suppose there could be all sorts _ is the case. i suppose there could be all sorts of— is the case. i suppose there could be all sorts of rules _ is the case. i suppose there could be all sorts of rules and _ is the case. i suppose there could be all sorts of rules and laws - is the case. i suppose there could l be all sorts of rules and laws about privacy and safeguarding, i don't know. �* privacy and safeguarding, i don't know. . ., ,, , ., privacy and safeguarding, i don't know. . , know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying _ know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying an — know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying an air _ know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying an air tag, _ know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying an air tag, which - know. and the same applies to jack, he was carrying an air tag, which we| he was carrying an air tag, which we thought would be brilliant,... to explain, that's a little tracker thing that you might put on your bag? thing that you might put on your ban ? , �* , thing that you might put on your bau? , �* , ., thing that you might put on your baa? , �*, ., ., bag? yes, it's a location finder. the first thing _ bag? yes, it's a location finder. the first thing that _ bag? yes, it's a location finder. the first thing that came - bag? yes, it's a location finder. the first thing that came into i bag? yes, it's a location finder. | the first thing that came into my head when we reported him missing.

however, it has drawn an absolute blank. we have had three orfour different narratives from the police of why they think that is the case. and at the moment, it appears, we have gone back to the fact that privacy laws within apple will not allow us to have this information disclosed. whether that is the case, we are not certain. we have conflicting stories. you would think in a missing persons case, that would supersede anything and we could break through that. but, again, we battled to find out, really. again, we battled to find out, reall . �* . again, we battled to find out, reall . . ., , again, we battled to find out, reall . . . , , ., ., really. and that is the frustration at a time when _ really. and that is the frustration at a time when you _ really. and that is the frustration at a time when you are _ really. and that is the frustration at a time when you are trying - really. and that is the frustration at a time when you are trying to | really. and that is the frustration i at a time when you are trying to do everything, that's a stumbling block, you can't really do anything about that. ., , ., block, you can't really do anything about that-— block, you can't really do anything about that. no, you know, we 'ust reall , about that. no, you know, we 'ust really reauy �* about that. no, you know, we 'ust really, really want i about that. no, you know, we 'ust really, really want to i about that. no, you know, we 'ust really, really want to be i about that. no, you know, we 'ust really, really want to be able h about that. no, you know, wejust really, really want to be able to i really, really want to be able to draw a line under some of the information so that we can then perhaps move a little further

at victoria bus station say more commuters will die in collisions and changes need to be made by transport for london. kathleen finnegan died injanuary after being hit by a bus. her family have criticised tfl for not contacting them, and think victoria bus station isn't safe for passengers. they also think the way tfl deals with and investigates bus collisions needs to change. a lot of time has been spent when we should be grieving. we shouldn't have to do this. transport for london should, after all of these deaths, have learnt from them. i believe they have a lot of learning to do, and we want to make sure that things change, because this will happen again — more people will die from bus collisions — and their response needs to change. tfl told us it stands ready to take further action at victoria bus station if needed to keep people travelling in london safe — which could include additional safety improvements, subject to the outcome

could see one or two showers later on in the week, but temperatures in the low 20s. that's it for now, but there's plenty more on our website — i'm back with more around 9:15, but for now it's time to hand you back to sally and jon. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. despite falling off a stage on the west end earlier this year, sir ian mckellan says he has no plans to retire, and doesn't want to see anyone else to play gandalf in the forthcoming lord of the rings movie. the 85 year—old actor broke his wrist and chipped a vertebrae during a performance of player kings injune. he's been speaking to our correspondent tim muffett about the incident, and his plans for the future. sir ian mckellen has lived next to the river thames for more than 40 years. when i retire, you can imagine me sitting here, watching the world go by. are you ever going to retire? there may well come a time when... phone rings.
8:36 am
..the phone stops ringing. that's your agent. am i going to retire? no. it's such a part of my life, acting. but injune, sir ian — who is 85 — was forced to take a break from the profession he loves. he fell off stage during a performance of player kings at london's noel coward theatre. thank you for inviting us in your lovely home. how are you? er, yes, i think i'm fine. it was a nasty fall and it was a shock initially, but i fractured my wrist — but i fractured my wrist — it's what every kid does it's what every kid does when he falls off his bike — when he falls off his bike — and chipped a vertebrae. and chipped a vertebrae. and do you remember how it happened? and do you remember how it happened? aye, i'm moving about, aye, i'm moving about, got my foot caught in got my foot caught in the remains of a chair, the remains of a chair, which i tried to kick off — which i tried to kick off — and in doing that i propelled myself and in doing that i propelled myself forward, as it were on a skateboard, on the newspaper—shiny surface, forward, as it were on a skateboard, down to the forestage and then off down to the forestage and then off the stage, which was the stage, which was
8:37 am
a three—foot drop. a three—foot drop. partly broken by a member partly broken by a member of the audience on the front row. of the audience on the front row. i was extremely lucky in that i was extremely lucky in that i was wearing a padded i was wearing a padded suit because falstaff — suit because falstaff — the part i was playing — is fat. the part i was playing — is fat. it wasn't that i'd got dizzy it wasn't that i'd got dizzy or anything like that. or anything like that. it was a pure accident. it was a pure accident. say that to somebody, so i count myself lucky that...it�*s so i count myself lucky that...it�*s beginning to be a distant memory. beginning to be a distant memory. but it did mean that but it did mean that i couldn't do the tour. so if it's a chance for me to apologise to the audiences in bristol, birmingham, norwich and newcastle — i'm sorry i wasn't there. but i'll be back. i'm sure they forgive i couldn't do the tour. you and fully understand why! i mean, your work ethic has been revered within the industry and beyond for many, many years. has it made you reassess that at all? i don't think it's that i've got an ethic. it's what else would i be doing if i wasn't working? i shall take the rest of the year off and then get back to work in january.
8:38 am
just keep at it as long as the legs and the lungs and the mind keep working. iforget names. and, of course, when you they say, "ohh, me too." and you think, well, is it the human condition? and does one in one's mid—80s know too many names? when you're older, you've got more to remember than people who are young. nevertheless, it's a nuisance when you can't remember your best friend's name, you know? or forget your telephone number. he chuckles. if you see me or hear i'm doing something, you know it's worth doing. whether i do it well is a matter forjudgement. talking ofjudging performances, let's talk about your new film, the critic. the critic! in which you play a very caustic, somewhat catty theatre critic in the 1930s. you're being kind to him.
8:39 am
and worse — i don't want to give anything away. i'm the chief drama critic of the daily chronicle. jimmy erskine's never liked me. "hold your breath, for here is theatrical sewage." - it's a disaster. you should talk to him. the character you play is gay in the 1930s — that was illegal at that time. queer would be the word in those days. that was not only unfashionable, but it was a secret you had to hold close to your breast. and if other people discovered your secret, you could get into trouble with the law. you must practise your perversion behind closed doors. you're a cheeky- old queer, ain't you? may i return the compliment? you came out publicly as gay in 1988, whilst you were campaigning against clause 28 — the laws which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools. i've been gay all my life. it's just that i haven't ever come on a chat show and said it. and i've now felt the need to because the government, with this new law, has brought my private sexuality
8:40 am
into the public arena by having a law about it. do you regret not doing that before? oh, yes. oh, my life would have been very different. looking back, i wish i'd been able to say to my blood family, long before i did, that i was gay, and it was only when i was mature enough and goaded enough to get angry — the new law that was being introduced by the thatcher government — that i took my life into my own hands and said... #iam whatiam... you know? is there a particular role of which you're most proud? i was in a wonderful production by trevor nunn for the royal shakespeare company in 1976 of macbeth. and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. if you can manage to take on all the intricacies
8:41 am
and subtleties of shakespeare's verse, and then make it seem as if you're making it up as you go along, then you've cracked the biggest problem of doing shakespeare. and that production did it. out, out, brief candle! but then, lord of the rings. you shall not pass! it's not given to many of us to be in what turned out to be classics. lord of the rings is my, um...my casablanca, you know? another one — the hunt for gollum — is due to be made. will you be playing gandalf in it? well, i've had some indication from the powers that be — gandalf will make an appearance. i'm not letting anybody else put on the pointy hat and the beard if i can help it. i love that. nobody would dare.
8:42 am
nobody else — i love that. nobody would dare. nobody else is _ i love that. nobody would dare. nobody else is doing _ i love that. nobody would dare. nobody else is doing that. - i love that. nobody would dare. nobody else is doing that. . - that was tim muffett reporting. people eager to get behind the wheel for driving lessons are being warned to look out for bogus adverts online. one of the uk's biggest driving schools says it is seeing an increase in the number of scams on social media — it's something nina has been looking into. morning. good morning. i remember learnin: to morning. good morning. i remember learning to drive, _ morning. good morning. i remember learning to drive, saving _ morning. good morning. i remember learning to drive, saving up - morning. good morning. i remember learning to drive, saving up all- morning. good morning. i remember learning to drive, saving up all my i learning to drive, saving up all my spare money from part—timejobs, feeling really nervous behind the wheel for the first time, and at the moment there is the added stress of there being a shortage of drivers, self throughout fraught into the mix and really hard. —— fraud into the mix. figures seen by bbc breakfast show that more than £200,000 have been lost to driving lesson fraud so far this year — that's already four times as much as the whole of 2020. so what's happening? here's a facebook page offering lessons from a qualified instructor. look closer. would a professional driving school
8:43 am
be using a strange gmail address? no. it's fake. ascam. but it worked. we heard from one learner who handed over £350 for ten lessons after answering the ad. we asked facebook�*s owner meta what they're doing about it. meta said they'd taken down the account, and took action on more than a billion fake accounts between april and june alone. but one major driving school told us it had seen a massive increase in this type of scam recently. we've seen a lot more of it in the last six months. and we actually found out about it by having customer complaints come into our contact centre and people saying, why hasn't their driving instructor shown up? so, yeah, i'd say it is a relatively new thing, activity that we are seeing. but again, in the wider sphere of commercial activity, you know, it's always a red flag when you're trying to buy something in high demand and if all of a sudden it's available and easy, just really a double question that before you move forward
8:44 am
and pay any money over. good advice, no matter who you are. the dvsa — the government agency responsible for driving lessons and instructors — told us that it is illegal for anyone who isn't a qualified instructor to charge for lessons. it says learner drivers should report any suspicious activity and stringent action can then be taken. it is just another example of social media, these phishing expeditions by fraudsters that you can get wheeled into. �* .,, fraudsters that you can get wheeled into. . .,, ., , fraudsters that you can get wheeled into._ especially i into. and lose money. especially when ou into. and lose money. especially when you are — into. and lose money. especially when you are saving _ into. and lose money. especially when you are saving up - into. and lose money. especially when you are saving up what - when you are saving up what borrowing from your parents to learn to drive. because there has been this shortage of drivers, people are dying to sign up butjust be careful. dying to sign up but 'ust be careful. . ~' , ., the wreck of the titanic was found exactly 39 years ago. now the latest expedition to the wreck has revealed how the liner is slowly decaying.
8:45 am
our science editor rebecca morelle has been given exclusive access to the footage divers have brought back from the sea—bed. instantly recognisable, the bow of titanic looming out of the darkness of the depths of the atlantic. this footage was recorded in 2010, and you can see the railing on the deck is rusting but still intact. but a new expedition has discovered a large section is now missing. our view of titanic has changed forever. with all the anticipation coming up on the how, we were so excited. and then there's a moment of "wait a minute, something's not right", and we could see that whole section of railing on the port side was gone. it's just iconic to see the bow of titanic. that's what you think of when you think of the shipwreck. um, and it doesn't look like that any more. i'm flying! the story of titanic has been told many times,
8:46 am
but this famous scene in the 1997 film fixed this part of the ship in all of our minds. titanic was on her maiden voyage from southampton to new york in 1912, when she hit an iceberg and sank. 1,500 people lost their lives. after more than 100 years at the bottom of the ocean, the liner is gradually being lost to the sea. microbes are eating away at the ship, creating stalactites of rust, and sea life is colonising the wreck. the team used laser scans to study the bow. the section of railing that's gone is 4.5m long, and was lost at some point in the last two years. it's now lying next to the ship on the sea floor where it fell. the expedition spent 20 days in the north atlantic, using two underwater robots to image the wreck site. they focused on the debris field, where items from the ship spilled out as the liner split in two.
8:47 am
and this is one remarkable discovery found amongst the thousands of artefacts. a bronze statue called the diana of versailles that once adorned the first—class lounge. the centrepiece of that room was this bronze statue. unfortunately for diana, when titanic split in two, the lounge got ripped open. and in the chaos and the destruction, um, diana got ripped off her mantle and she landed in the darkness by herself in the debris field. and the odds of finding it are just truly unbelievable. these latest pictures are a reminder that the wreck is decaying. titanic is slowly returning to nature. rebecca morelle, bbc news. i could watch those pictures for hours, fantastic.— our next guest is the only eurovision winner to also do a bond theme.
