. - nicky campbell has been taking calls getting reaction to the news about labour and rochdale thisis episode has meant that labour could potentially lose both muslim and jewish votes in the election. i am a muslim, normally a labour voter, but because of labour's stance on gaza, not calling for a ceasefire, my heart won't let me vote labour, even though i hate conservatives and i want them out. this particular mp, azhar ali, has thrown a wacky conspiracy theory out there. i think he's done it on purpose. he can't be stupid enough to just go on facebook and, you know, repeat a conspiracy theory knowing that the whole of the uk is, you know, going to be listening to him. i think he's worried about george galloway gaining momentum and he's thrown out an anti—jewish thing, trying to gain muslim supporters. but he's shot himself in the foot and now they are going to lose muslim supporters, the labour party, and they are going to lose jewish supporters. so i'm actually worried now whether labour are actually real contenders to take over the conservatives, because they had this massive le

will speak to ellen broome from coram, but first, people have been telling bbc radio 5 live's nicky campbellth childcare. to take on a £10,000 loanjust to continue going to work, because i was paying full—time for my son to go to work, £1,200 a month. so that 10,000 loan didn't even cover one full year of his childcare. luckily, because i had gone, i had done a masters in law, so i work in financial services and investment banking. i knew i had a prospects and a career that would definitely be an increase in salary in the future. so i made that decision and it's a decision that i hope many people don't have to make because ijust had a relationship breakdown, so i was a single parent. so there's a lot of this. you know, what's the divorce rate in the uk at? is it 40%, 50%? it's pretty high. there is no kind of understanding that actually you might be single and have a young child who needs to go to nursery and still pay all your bills. i struggle to get staffing. i've just given all my staff over 10% pay rise to keep them and that's still not enough. and i can't actually run to full capacity

one caller with experience of that harm told the nicky campbell show on bbc radio 5 live he regrettedmphysema and copd in the other lung, and now i've found out i've got terminal cancer in my liver and adrenal glands. i'm so sorry. yeah, it's something i've got used to now, i've come to terms with it, but what i've gone through the last three years, i wouldn't like anyone to go through, you know? and if i could go back, i wish i'd never started. the harm done by smoking is well documented. it causes lung and heart disease, cancer, stillbirths, dementia and asthma. england's chief medical officer, sir chris whitty, supports the ban. people are trapped in smoking at a very young age, and once they become addicted, their choice is taken away. so, if you're in favour of choice, you should be against something which takes away people's choices. the great majority of smokers wish they'd never started, but now they're in trouble. the tobacco and vapes bill set before parliament today represents a huge step change. it proposes that anyone turning 15 this year and all younger generations would

earlier, the bbc radio 5 live presenter, nicky campbell asked his callers for their thoughts on the restrictionsan is a good idea. i've had cancer. i've been there. i've been there with the other people who smoke. and i remember 2007, the ban on smoking in pubs, i was up in arms. you know what? now that i've had cancer, i don't want people to go through the hell that you go through because of a preventable cancer. i don't want my children passing them tea shops thinking that smoking is normal. it's not. it's an addictive habit. tayub, who runs a shisha bar in manchester, was critical, he's worried that a ban would have a negative impact on the hospitality industry. it's a bit of overreach from the government and, you know, trying to ban smoking in outdoor spaces. and i mean, surely, you know, the british people can make a decision on whether they want to light up a cigarette or smoke a shisha and understand the health implications for doing so. hospitality. i mean, it's been through a lot with covid, it still hasn't fully recovered. so i just don't think there's any need for it. the hospitality

here in the uk we are going tojoin nicky campbell's phone in, and before that it's the weather. been looking at heavy rain four times, particularly in the north—west. it's likely to be unseasonably windy with gales, but equally some sunshine. today low pressure is very much driving our weather. you can see the weather front crossing from one into tuesday which is bringing in rain and also windy conditions. the driest and brightest conditions will be in the south—east for longest. as the rain advances, the cloud will build ahead of it and it will be windy, particularly through the irish sea with gales. temperatures of 13 to about 25, possibly 27 depending on the amount of sunshine in the south—east. through this evening and overnight, the rain advances eastwards. there could still be the odd heavy burst. some clear skies, still windy, worth looking out for the supermoon because it's lovely if you do get to see it. still humid across the south—east but not so for the rest of the uk. that takes us into tomorrow, with cloud and patchy like rain. that clears, then we are into bluster

if you are watching in the uk, nicky campbell has more on the passing of the rwanda bill coming up. we go through the next few days, you'll notice the temperature coming down everywhere — as represented by the blues on the chart — on wednesday, thursday and friday. but as we head on into the weekend, low pressure looks like it's going to move across our shores. that looks like too it will introduce some milder conditions, but there's still a lot to play for with that one. today, we've got the dregs of yesterday's front pushing slowly south—eastwards, with its cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle. eastern areas still exposed to this brisk wind, taking the edge off the temperatures. it will feel quite cold on the east coast. a few showers for wales into the south—west, and the cloud in the east thick enough for that drizzle. it's the west that's going to see the lion's share of the sunshine today. and, as a result, this is where we'll have the highest temperatures. we could reach 16 degrees once again. in glasgow yesterday, it was 16.5 celsius here. as we head through the evening a
